Mr.   M.  L.  Davey,  Davey  Tree  Expert  Co.,  Kent,  Ohio. 
Dear  Mr.  Davey: 

Enclosed  herewith  please  find  my  check  to  your  order  for  $1,081.33 
in  full  for  tree  surgery  on  my  property  at  Beechmont,  New  Rochelle. 

In  making  this  remittance  permit  me  to  express  my  appreciation 
of  the  capable,  interested  service  rendered  by  your  organization. 
Your  New  York  Office  as  well  as  your  "Westchester  representative 
and  your  foreman,  have  one  and  all  given  tiie  most  painstaking  at- 
tention to  my  needs,  and  I  have  been  so  much  impressed  with  the 
etticiency  of  your  organization  as  I  have  come  in  contact  with  it, 
that  it  would  please  me  greatly  if,  when  you  can  find  time,  you  will 
have  the  goodness  to  furnish  me  with  an.v  data  at  your  command, 
showing  how  you  have  built  up  and  maintained  it  In  euch  a  way  as 
to  bring  about  the  devotion  and  enterprise  so  evident  in  your  rep- 
resentatves  whom  it  lias  been  my  pleasure  to  meet. 

Yours  very  truly,  W.  W.   Salmon. 


Kent,  Ohio,  Oct.  3,  1916. 
W.  W.  Salmon,   Esq.,   "Beechmont,"  New  Rochelle,  N.  Y. 
Dear  Mr.  Salmon: 

Acknowledging  your  esteemed  favor  of  Sept.  29th,  I  want  to  assure 
you  that  such  a  voluntary  expression  of  satisfaction  is  more  than  a 
pleasure — it  is  an  inspiration.  The  public  as  a  whole  has  been  very 
gracious  to  us  in  return  for  our  conscientious  efforts  to  give  Quality 
First  Tree  Surgery  and  honest  service. 

I  believe  that  most  worthy  things,  especially  along  the  line  of 
organization,  are  the  result  of  evolution  based  upon  a  fundamental 
policy.  Our  purpose  from  the  beginning  has  been  to  give  maximum 
service,  which  means  perfected  metliods,  high  type  men  and  an 
organization  ideal. 

Perhaps  the  thing  of  first  importance  is  the  men — the  men  who 
actually  do  the  work.  The  people  whom  we  serve  are  not  particu- 
larly interested  in  my  theories  or  my  knowledge  or  my  ability. 
They  measure  the  Davey  organization  by  the  men  whom  they  see, 
and  rightly  so.  Consequently,  we  have  endeavored  to  get  the  right 
kind  of  men. 

"We  go  on  the  theory  that  "A  leopard  cannot  change  his  spots." 
If  a  man  is  dishonest,  if  he  is  lazy,  if  he  is  careless  and  indifferent, 
if  he  lacks  Intelligence,  if  he  lacks  the  spirit  of  co-operation  and 
devotion  to  his  work  and  his  employers — if  he  lacks  these  funda- 
mental things,  no  argument  and  no  appeal  and  no  inducement  will 
make  him  a  good  man.  We.  therefore,  eliminate  the  poor  ones  as 
fast  as  we  find  them,  keeping  only  those  who  have  In  them  the 
qualities  which  have  impressed  you.  The  good  ones  we  boost  and 
encourage  and  try  to  inspire  as  soon  as  we  find  that  they  are  good. 
We  pay  these  good  men  well  and  pay  them  more  as  soon  as  they 
prove  they  are  worth  more.  The  foreman  who  had  charge  of  your 
work  will  be  given  a  raise  immediately  on  the  strength  of  your 
letter.  Is  it  not  reasonable  to  suppose  that  he  will  strive  still 
harder  to  please  every  other  client?  Eve'ry  man  in  the  Davey  or- 
ganization knows  that  Iiis  advancement  depends  upon  his  service 
and  upon  no  other  thing. 

■V\''hile  we  pay  well  we  demand  much  in  return.  If  a  man  falls 
to  live  up  to  our  high  standard,  we  do  not  want  him  and  will  not 
have  him.  If  our  service  at  any  time  falls  below  this  high  standard, 
we  let  the  offended  go  and  make  good  to  the  client.  Thus  the  process 
of  elimination  leaves  us  the  good  men,  those  who  are  intelligent, 
Industrious,  honest  and  devoted  to  their  work. 

Our  men  are  all  trained  in  the  Davey  organization.  "We  take  no 
man's  recommendation  of  himself.     He  must  go  through  the  mill  and 


show  us.  Every  man  Is  responsible  to  us  for  his  work  and  his  con- 
duct, which  is  the  measure  of  his  service.  Thus  the  client  gets 
through  us,  the  highest  posslltie  service — guaranteed  service.  We, 
who  know  values  in  Tree  Surgery,  select  the  man  who  is  to  handle 
your  priceless  trees  and  we  stand  back  of  it  with  the  whole  strength 
of  our  organization  and  reputation. 

"We  have  devoted  ourselves  unceasingly  to  the  perfection  of  our 
methods,  with  the  result  that  our  work  is  In  reality  practically  per- 
fect, both  mechanically  and  scientifically.  We  maintain  our  own 
school  at  a  considerable -annual  expense  for  the  specific  purpose  of 
training  our  men  according  to  the  Davey  methods  and  Davey 
standard. 

Every  year  we  have  a  Convention,  when  we  bring  all  of  our  re- 
sponsible men  together,  including  foremen,  special  representatives, 
officers,  students  and  school  faculty.  We  had  our  usual  Convention 
last  March.  We  had  more  than  sixty  foremen  in  attendance.  The 
average  length  of  their  experience  was  about  five  years,  with  the 
result  that  more  than  three  hundt-ed  years  of  actual  experience  was 
concentrated,  massed,  on  the  problems  of  Tree  Surgery.  We  had  a 
week's  demonstration  work,  during  which  time  we  discussed  every- 
thing from  the  most  important  down  to  the  seerrtingly  trivial  thlhgs. 
Kve'r.vthing  was  put  to  the  test  of  experience.  We  wanted  no  theories. 
We  demanded  only  the  definite  results  of  ripe  experience.  The  result 
is  not  only  a  constantly  rising  standard,  but  a  very  gratifying  and 
valuable  uniformity  of  methods  and  policy. 

We  had  with  us  during  our  last  annual  Convention,  Dr.  H.  D. 
House,  New  York  State  Botanist,  who  was  formerly  Professor  In  the 
Biltmore  Forestry  School.  We  wanted  him  here  so  that  he  could 
look  us  over.  He  expressed  himself  as  amazed  at  the  character  of 
our  organization  and  said  that  he  could  now  understand  why  we 
had  made  a  success  of  our  work.  Among  other  things  he  said, 
"These  men  would  do  honor  to  any  Institution  of  learning  In  Amer- 
ica." A  thing  which  greatly  Impressed  him  was  the  fact  that  our 
men,  these  fellows  of  broad,  practical  experience,  were  absolutely 
unanimous  on  every  vital  point. 

Then  there  is  the  question  of  organization  spirit.  Our  men  have 
been  made  to  feel  that  they  are  engaged  in  a  great  work — a  work 
which  is  altogether  worthy  of  them  and  the  be«t  that  is  in  them. 
They  have  been  made  to  realize  that  their  future  success  is  Insep- 
arably interwoven  with  the  future  and  the  success  of  the  Davey 
organization.  We  have  appealed  to  their  self-interest,  their  desire 
for  success  and  for  financial  return.  We  have  showTi  them  that  there 
is  only  one  way  for  them  to  advance  self-interest,  and  that  Is  to 
give  devoted  service  to  their  Company  and  Its  clients.  Without  the 
right  kind  of  men  such  an  appeal  would  be  as  wasted  as  a  single 
rain  on  a  desert.  With  the  right  kind  of  men  as  we  have,  such  an 
appeal  finds  ready  response,  which  grows  and  grows  In  beauty  and 
in  practical  utility. 

You  as  a  business  man  know  the  Inspiration  which  comes  from 
definite  achievement,  from  approaching  a  fixed  goal.  I  find  mor* 
satisfaction  In  this  achievement  than  In  the  profit  which  comes  from 
it.  I  believe  that  a  business  Ideal  Is  a  source  of  power  and  serves  to 
draw  success  as  a  magnet. 

Ten  years  ago  the  Davey  organization  was  only  a  mere  handful, 
doing  a  business  of  about  ten  or  twelve  thousand  dollars  per  year. 
Today  we  have  an  organization  of  about  three  hundred  built  along 
the  lines  which  I  have  Indicated.  Our  business  this  year  will  exceed 
three  hundred  thousand  dollars  and  I  am  ver.v  glad  to  say  it  leaves 
in  its  wake  an  almost  general  feeling  of  satisfaction  such  as  you 
have  expressed. 

Let  me  assure  you  that  we  very  deeply  appreciate  the  opportunity 
of  serving  you  and  the  honor  of  your  full  confidence  and  esteem. 

Sincerely  yours,  THE  DAVEY  TREE  EXPERT  CO. 

M.  L.  Davey,  General  Manager.

Rochester,  N.  T., 

Nov,  17,   1916. 
Mr.  M.  L.  Davey, 
General  Manager, 
The  Davey  Tree 

Expert   Co., 
Kent,  Ohio. 
Dear  Mr.   Davey: 

Please  accept 
my  sincere 
thanks  for  your 
most  Illuminat- 
ing letter  of  Oc- 
tober 3rd. 

Your  story.  In- 
teresting In  It- 
self, is  most  ad- 
m  i  r  a  b  1  y  told, 
though  in  its 
telling  it  appears 
to  me  that  you 
have  failed  to 
mention  the  one 
element  without 
which  the  "per- 
fected methods, 
high  type  men 
and  organization 
ideal"  would  not 
have  come  into 
being.  That  un- 
named element 
I  suspect  to  have 
been  Davey,  who 
first  conceived 
the  Idea,  then 
determined  the 
methods  and 
later  found  and 
inspired  with 
some  part  of  his 
own  enthusiasm 
the  men  who  are 
actually  carrying 
out  the  work. 

Shortly  after 
receiving:  your 
letter  I  read  it  to 
the  department 
heads  of  the 
General    Railway

Fig.  1. — See  the  Iron  band 
around  the  trunk.  The  tree 
was  splitting  apart  and  a  "tree 
patcher"  tried  to  save  it.  Tem- 
porarily it  prevented  a  catas- 
trophe, but  the  band  was  stran- 
gling the  bark.  And  the  real 
trouble,  which  was  the  decay 
on  the  inside,  had  received  no 
attention  whatever  and  the 
condition  was  growing  rapidly 
worse. 

Tig.  2. — Davey  Tree  Surgeons 
got  at  the  real  trouble.  They 
first  tied  the  branches  to- 
gether with  ropes  to  prevent 
accident  while  operating.  The 
decay  was  removed  to  the  l^st 
particle,  the  Inside  of  the  cav- 
ity was  thoroughly  sterilized 
and  waterproofed.  The  me- 
chanical bracing  employed 
demonstrates  the  finished  skill 
and  complete  mastery  of  Davey 
Tree   Surgeons. 

Figr.  3. — The  filling  of  a 
crotch  cavity  is  probably  the 
most  trying  task  confronted  by 
a  Tree  Surgeon.  The  filling  is 
subjected  to  tremendous 
twisting  and  strain;  it  must 
not  only  be  held  firmly  in 
place  by  the  most  expert  me- 
chanical bracing,  but  it  must 
also  allow  for  the  normal 
sway  of  the  tree.  The  sec- 
tional filling  method  aids  won- 
derfully in  this  accomplish- 
ment, but  correct  mechanical 
bracing  is  ultra-important. 


Signal  Company, 
wtiile  at  lunch- 
eon, and  the  in- 
teresting diacus- 
sion  that  fol- 
lowed led  me  to 
show  ttie  letter 
to  some  of  my 
business  friends, 
who  are  at  the 
head  of  compa- 
nies employing  a 
grreat  many  men. 
In  each  such  In- 
stance  I  have 
been  asked  for  a 
copy  of  the  let- 
ter —  in  order 
that  the.r  may 
have  their  men 
'read  and  proHt 
by  it. 

"Will  you  have 
the  goodness  to 
write  me  at  my 
home  address 
whether  I  have 
your  consent  to 
make  and  send 
out  to  my  busi- 
ness friends  such 
copies? 
Sincerely    yours,

I',  ili.ip.s  111.  iliiii;,'  of  first  imiiortancc  is  the  men — the  men  who 
aituallN-  do  the  work.  The  ]K'oiiU'  whom  we  serve  are  not  particu- 
larly iiiteicsted  in  my  thioiics  or  my  knowledtjo  or  my  ability. 
'I'licy  nica.surc  the  Davey  oruanizal i.>ii  by  the  men  whom  they  see. 
and  ri!.;htly  so.  Consequently,  We  liax.-  endeavored  to  yet  tlte  riijht 
kind    01    men. 

We  .t'o  on  tlie  til.  ..ry  that  ' 
If  !i  man  is  dishoiost.  if  h.'  is

lazy,  i:  he  is  careless  and  iml ifferont, 
lacks  the  spirit  of  co-oii.rati<m  and 
emjiloviis — if  he  lacks  these  funda- 
iid  no  apii.  :il  aii.l  no  imlueemeti t  will 
make  him  a  ;.'oo(l  man.  We.  therefore,  eliminate  the  poor  ones  as 
fast  as  \\f  tind  them,  l^eepinu:  only  those  who  have  in  them  the 
i|iialities  wliich  ha\e  impressed  >on.  The  goo.l  ones  we  boost  aiol

li.irdir  t.i  jdease  fv.iy  other  cii.'iitv  I'ixer.x  man  in  the  llavey  f>r-

and   npon   no  other  tiling. 

Willi,  w.  p.iy  w.ll  w.-  demaml  miKjh  in  return.  If  a  man  fails 
1,,  |i\,'  u],  to  .'HI-  liii^h  stand.ard.  v.'e  do  not  want  him  and  will  not

we  let  the  otTen«ler  ko  and  make  K<><»d  to  the  client,  riius  tlx;  proces.s 
of  <  lituin.ition  leaves  \is  the  Rood  men,  Ihosi/  who  are  inlelliKcnt, 
industrious,   honest   and    devoted    to  their  work. 

Onr  men  are  all  trained  in  the  Davey  orKanii^ation.  AVe  take  no 
man's  i  eeomiiiendat  ion  ol  himstdl.      lie  must  p;..  ttiKnif-'h  the  mill  and

\\\\o  Know  \alin>s  in  Tree  Sur^^er.v,  select  the  man  who  is  to  handle 
.xuir  itriceless  trees  and  we  stand  hack  of  it  with  the  whole  strengrth 
of  onr  orKani/ation  and  reputation. 

AVe  have'  devoted  ourselves  unceasingly  to  the  perfection  of  onr 
methods,  with  the  result  that  our  work  is  in  reality  practically  per- 
fect, both  mechanically  and  scicntilically.  Wo  maintain  our  own 
school  at  a  considerable  anmial  expense  for  the  specific  puriiose  of 
trainiiiK-  our  men  according-  to  the  Davey  metliods  and  IJavey 
standard. 

lOvery  year  W(^  have  a  ronvention.  when  we  brincr  all  of  our  re- 
sponsible men  together,  imdudinf,'  foremen,  special  r.preseii talives, 
otlicers,  students  ami  school  faculty.  We  had  our  usual  Convention 
last  .March.  We  had  more  than  sixt.v  foremen  in  attenilance.  The 
a\eraj{e  length  cd'  their  experience  was  aixnU  five  .v  ears,  with  the 
result  that  more  than  three  hundred  .vears  (d'  at'tual  e\i>erienee  was 
concentrated,  nuissed,  on  the  problems  of  Tree  Surjrery.  W'c  had  a 
week's  denionslration  woik,  during  which  tini.'  ^v.'  .iiscussed  every- 
thin:^  Irom  the  most  imiiorlant  down  to  ihe  si'.iii  im^lv  trivial  thinKS. 
Kve'r.vthinjT  was  put  to  the  test  of  e.\perien«'e.  We  wanteil  no  theories. 
We  demanded  onl.v  the  «lelinite  results  of  ripe  experience.  The  result 
is  not  onl.v  a  constant l.v  risinu:  standard,  hut  a  very  jrratifyinjt  and 
valual)le  uniformity  of  methods  and  policy. 

We  had  with  us  durinpr  our  last  annual  Convention.  Dr.  II.  D. 
House,  New  Vork  State  Botanist,  who  was  formerly  Professor  in  the 
Hiltmoro  Forestry  School.  We  wanted  him  here  so  that  he  could 
look  us  over.  He  expressed  himself  as  amazed  at  the  eharai  ter  of 
our  on;ani/ation  and  said  that  he  could  now  understand  why  we 
had  made  a  success  of  our  work.  AiiKwiy  other  things  he  said, 
"Tlifse  men  would  do  lumor  to  any  institution  of  learninpr  in  Amer- 
ica." .\  thing  which  greatly  impressed  him  was  the  fact  that  our 
men.  thesi!  fellows  of  broad,  i^ractical  experience,  were  absolutely 
unanimous  on  every  vital   point. 

Then  th<>re  is  the  questicm  of  nrfrnniz.ntion  spirit.  Our  men  have 
been  nuide  to  feel  that  they  are  enK:>Ked  in  a  Kreat  work — a  work 
which  is  altoicether  worth.\'  of  them  an<l  the  best  Ihiit  is  in  them. 
They  liavo  been  made  to  realize  that  their  future  success  is  insep- 
arably interwoven  with  the  future  and  the  success  of  the  Davey 
organization.  AX'e  have  appealed  to  their  sell-interest,  their  desire 
for  sucetss  and  for  financial  return.  We  have  shown  llieni  that  there 
is  only  one  way  for  them  to  advance  self-interest,  and  that  is  to 
Ktyr  devoted  s<'rvice  lo  their  f'ompan.v  and  its  clients.  Without  the 
right  kind  ol  men  smh  an  ai>peal  would  be  as  wasted  as  a  single 
rain  on  a  desert.  With  the  right  kind  of  nten  as  we  have,  sui  h  an 
appeal  finds  ready  response,  which  grows  ami  grows  in  beauty  and 
in    practical    utility. 

Ton  as  a  business  man  know  the  inspiration  which  comes  from 
definite  achievement,  from  approaching  a  lixed  goal.  I  lin.l  more 
satlsfacticm  in  this  achievement  than  in  the  profit  which  comes  from 
it.  I  believe  that  a  business  ideal  is  a  source  of  power  and  serves  to 
draw  success  as  a  mairiiet. 

Ten  \'ars  ago  the  D.avey  organization  was  only  a  mere  handful, 
doing  a  business  of  about  ten  or  twelve  thousand  dollars  per  year. 
Today  we  have  an  organization  of  about  thni-  hun.lred  built  alonff 
till'  lines  which  1  ha\.'  iniiicate<l.  Our  business  this  y«'ar  will  exceed 
three  hundred  thousand  dollars  and  I  am  ver>  Khid  to  say  it  leaves 
in  its  wake  an  almost  general  feeling  of  satisfaction  such  as  you 
hiiv  e   expressed. 

l-et  me  assure  you  that  we  very  df-eply  appreci.ate  the  opportunity 
of  serving  you  and  the  honor  of  your  full  confidence  and  esteem.

COAL  PRICES  FIXED        ie 
M        BUT  NOT  REDUCED 

Last  week's  widely  advertised  fixing  of  coal  prices,  by  mine  operators  in 
conference  with  the  government,  sets  figures  at  exactly  what  responsible  florists 
have  been  paying  on  contracts  made  since  April  1.  But  it  may  mean  a  saving  to 
many  small  buyers  by  informing  them  as  to  coal  dealers'  costs. 


PEEATOES  of  bituminous 
coal  mines,  in  conference 
with  Secretary  of  the  In- 
terior Lane,  the  Federal 
^  K  &  Trade  Commission  and  the 
^-^Jl  (  committee  on  coal  produc- 
tion of  the  Council  of  Na- 
tional Defense,  June  28 
tentatively  agreed  upon 
maximum  prices  to  be 
cliarged  for  the  output  of  the  mines. 
The  price  scale  became  effective  July 
1  and  will  continue  until  such  time 
as  the  government  commissions  have 
investigated  conditions  with  a  view 
to  fixing  tlie  maximum  charge  during 
the  period  of  the  war.  Anthracite  coal 
mine  operators  made  a  similar  agree- 
ment. 

Tlie  result  of  the  conference,  in  whicli 
representatives  of  practically  every  mine 
operator  east  of  the  Mississippi  river 
took  part,  was  hailed  by  the  daily  news- 
papers as  meaning  a  reduction  of  from 
$1  to  $.j  per  ton  in  the  price  of  coal  to 
the  consumer. 

Wliat  It  Means  to  Growers. 

This  may  be  true  in  regard  to  the 
domestic  consumer,  but  what  effect  will 
the  action  liave  upon  tlie  i)rice  to  flo- 
rists? 

For  the  large  grow- 
er, who  contracts  for 
his  fuel  supjdy,  tlie 
agreement  will  have 
practically  no  ef- 
fect. 

For  the  small  grow- 
er, who  buys  in  the 
open  market  as  liis 
needs  recpiire,  the 
agreement  will  proba- 
bly mean  lower  prices 
than  would  otherwise 
have  been  demanded 
but  for  the  fixing  of 
maximum    prices. 

CJrowors  who  use 
large  quantities  of  fuel 
already  liave  contract- 
ed for  their  next  sea- 
son's su[)ply;  and,  it 
develops,  the  contract 
price  is  the  same  as  the 
maximum  price  now 
agreed  on  by  the  opera- 
tors and  the  govern- 
ment— it  is  no  reduc- 
•  tion  at  all.  However, 
the  fixjing  of  maximum 
prices  will  remove  the

prices  would  have  had  upon  some  deal- 
ers to  default  upon  their  contracts 
and  sell  their  supply  in  the  open  mar- 
ket. 

Maximum  prices  are  expected  to  do 
away  with  ' '  premiums. ' '  That  is,  the 
bonuses  that  some  mine  operators  have 
been  receiving  for  their  output  when 
the  demand  was  greater  than  the  supply. 
"Premiums"  in  some  cases  have 
boosted  the  price  to  almost  double  the 
recognized  mine  mouth  price.  And  the 
extra  cost  has,  of  course,  been  paid  by 


the  consumer  who  had  not  contracted 
for  his  supply  and  who  bought  in  the 
open  market. 

There  also  was  an  attempt  made  by 
the  operators  to  fix  the  middlemen's 
])rofit  at  25  cents  per  ton,  no  matter 
how  many  liands  the  coal  pass-ed 
tlirough  before  it  reached  tlie  consumer. 
How  great  effect  their  action  will  have 
upon  tlie  wholesalers  and  retailers  is  a 
question.  But  it  will  serve  to  put  the 
onus  of  high  prices  upon  someone  other 
than  the  mine  operator,  who  heretofore 
has  been   generally   blamed. 

Maximum  mine  mouth  prices  on  coal 
produced  in  the  various  bituminous 
fields  are  as  follows: 

Illinois  and  Indiana,  $2.7.1;  Clearfield, 
Pa.,  $.3;  Tennessee,  .$3;  Virginia,  $3; 
West  Virginia,  $3;  Alabama,  $3  to  $4; 
Maryland,  $3  to  $:i.')0.  Added  to  these 
j)rices  the  consumer  will  be  required  to 
])ay  transportation  cliarges,  the  freight 
from  the  mines  and  the  liauling  cost, 
])lus  the   middlemen's  profit. 

Prices  Double  in  a  Year 

These  prices  are  at  least  double  what 
was  asked  one  year  ago;  ])ut  they  are 
lower  than  has  Ijceii  obtained  in  many 
instances  since  January  1.  There  is  the 
consolation,  liowever,  that  the  grower 
will  know  exactly 
what  he  will  be  re- 
(piired  to  pay  for  his 
fuel  sui)])ly  so  long  as 
the  war   lasts. 

Mine  operators  in 
the  West  Virginia 
fields,  from  wliich  come 
Pocahontas  and  New 
Eiver  semi-bituminous, 
or  "smokeless,"  coal, 
had  already  fixed  the 
jirice  of  their  outj)ut 
at  $'■',  ])er  ton  between 
Ajiril  1  and  August  1, 
with  an  advance  of  2.j 
cents  jier  ton  on  con- 
tracts made  after  the 
latter  date.  Many 
growers  who  hahitii- 
ally  contract  for  their 
fuel  su])])lies  made  con- 
tr.'icts  at  tlie  lower  fig- 
ure. Others  believed 
that  the  jirice  was  ex- 
orbitant and  that  by 
waiting  a  lower 
figure  could  be  ob- 
tained. The  latter 
now      will      have      the 


temptation       larger

The  Florists^  Review 


July  5,  1917. 


ing  that  they  will  be  required  to  pay 
no  more  than  the  price  fixed,  but  at  the 
same  time  will  suffer  the  disappointment 
of  not  being  able  to  buy  for  less. 

Now  that  the  price  has  been  fixed  and 
the  question  of  cost  settled,  the  grower 
is  interested  in  knowing  whether  or  not 
ho  will  be  able  to  get  an  adequate  sup- 
ply. 

While  coal  producers  and  dealers  have 
asserted  that  the  extraordinary  demand 
was  the  reason  for  the  high  price  of 
fuel  and  that  the  inability  of  the  rail- 
roads and  other  carriers  to  transport  it 
from  the  mines  to  the  points  of  con- 
sumption was  the  reason  for  a  short- 
age, many  of  those  who  have  paid  the 
bills  and  have  had  trouble  getting  coal 
have  been  skeptical. 

On  this  point  the  government  officials 
at  Washington  were  told  by  one  of  the 
coal  men  at  the  conference  that  if  there 
were  ample  car  facilities,  ' '  we  could 
cover  this  country  with  coal,  and  that 
would  fix  the  price." 

Mine  operators  have  had  and  are 
having  considerable  difficulty  with  the 
labor  problem.  Men  willing  to  work 
in  coal  mines  have  been  and  are  scarce. 
Before  the  war  the  ranks  of  the  miners 
were  recruited  from  immigrants.  The 
beginning  of  hostilities  shut  off  immi- 
gration. Those  already  at  work  in  the 
mines  were  attracted  from  this  employ- 
ment by  the  better  wages  paid  for  un- 
skiUed  labor  in  other  occupations. 

Labor  Mine  Owners'  Problem. 

Mine  operators  have  tried  to  meet 
the  situation  by  increasing  wages. 
Three  times  in  nine  months  there  have 
been  voluntary  increases  granted  to  the 
miners.  Apparently  they  have  not  been 
great  enough  to  hold  the  men,  as  there 
is  a  shortage  of  labor  in  nearly  every 
field.  In  others  there  are  strikes  threat- 
ened. 

Wages  in  the  West  Virginia  field  have 
been  raised  by  the  action  of  the  United 
States  Steel  Co.,  which  owns  twelve 
mines  there.  The  company,  fat  with 
war  profits,  has  been  giving  its  em- 
ployees some  of  the  surplus  by  increas- 
ing wages  from  time  to  time.  Other 
coal  operators  in  the  same  field  were 
forced  to  do  the  same  or  lose  their 
miners. 

But,  with  all  these  increases,  there 
have  been  continual  desertions  of  the 
mines  by  the  men.  It  is  expected,  how- 
ever, that  the  government  will  adopt 
some  method  by  which  the  mines  will 
be  adequately  supplied  with  labor.  If 
the  mines  are,  the  estimated  possible 
annual  production  of  600,000,000  tons 
of  bituminous  coal  will  take  care  of 
the  needs  of  the  country,  and  there  will 
be  no  shortage. 

Following  the  announcement  of  the 
action  of  the  mine  operators,  coal  deal- 
ers declare  that  there  were  numerous 
cancellations  of  orders  that  had  been 
placed  by  consumers.  The  attitude  of 
the  latter  is  supposed  to  be  that  there 
is  no  reason  to  buy  coal  in  advance  of 
the  time  of  need,  as  there  will  be  no 
difference  between  the  price  in  July  and 
in  October. 

This  action  is  liable  to  bring  about  a 
fuel  famine  in  the  fall,  the  coal  dealers 
assert.  They  say  that  the  maximum 
mine  production  every  week  of  every 
month  is  necessary  to  produce  the  coal 
the  country  needs.  Cessation  of  demand 
during  the  summer  is  going  to  make  the 


demand  in  the  fall  and  winter  months 
just  so  much  greater. 

* '  Consumers  expect  that  the  coal 
mines  can  produce  in  the  first  three  or 
four  weeks  of  the  fall  their  winter's 
coal  supply,"  said  one  man  in  close 
toucli  with  the  mining  industry.  "They 
will  be  disappointed.  Unless  the  con- 
sumers keep  on  buying  and  storing  coal 
there  will  be  a  famine  worse  than  last 
winter.  The  demand  during  the  sum- 
mer has  been  equal  to  the  supply  and 
there  has  been  accumulated  no  reserve 
stocks  of  coal.  Consequently  when  the 
increased  demand  comes  there  will  be 
no  supply  to  meet  it,  except  what  is 
daily   produced  by  the  mines. 

Famine  in  Fall  Predicted. 

' '  There  is  every  reason  to  believe 
tliat  should  the  mines  be  able  to  satisfy 
the  demand  in  the  fall,  there  will  not 
be  cars  enough  to  transport  the  coal. 
When  the  railroads  begin  to  move  the 
crops,  expected  to  be  greater  than  ever 
before,  and  the  government  requires 
thousands    of    cars   to   transport   troops

It  was  then  predicted  that  the  Inter- 
state Commerce  Commission  would 
grant  the  increase  in  freight  rates  asked 
by  the  railroads.  Since  that  time  the 
commission  had  the  subject  under  con- 
sideration and  June  25  decided  to  allow 
the  railroads  to  charge  15  cents  per 
ton  more  in  the  district  north  of  the 
Ohio  river  and  east  of  the  Mississippi 
river.  The  increase  became  effective 
July  1.  This  automatically  increases 
the  cost  of  coal  to  the  consumer  that 
much. 

The  representative  of  one  of  the 
largest  mines  in  the  Pocahontas  field 
of  West  Virginia  was  asked  what  he 
considered  a  legitimate  charge  for  Po- 
cahontas coal  delivered  to  the  consumer 
by  a  coal  retailer.  He  asserted  that 
the  cost  at  the  mine,  plus  all  transpor- 
tation charges  and  $1.20  per  ton  for 
wastage,  handling  and  hauling  and  the 
retailer's  profit,  is  the  basis  upon  which 
the  retail  price  is  fixed. 

Therefore  the  grower,  now  that  the 
price  of  coal  at  the  mines  has  been 
fixed,  when  he  goes  into  the  open  mar- 
ket for  fuel  can  easily  learn  whether  or 
not  the  price  the  retailer  asks  him  is 
fair. 

COAL  PRICES  EXORBITANT. 


and  war  supplies  to  the  Atlantic  sea- 
board, the  mines  are  sure  to  be  left 
without  an  adequate  number  of  cars. 
Then  the  consumer  who  has  waited  until 
the  fall  months  to  get  his  coal  supply 
will  be  disappointed." 

Apparentl5^  there  is  nothing  to  be 
gained  by  waiting  to  get  the  fuel  sup- 
ply. And  should  this  analysis  of  the 
coal  situation  now  and  in  the  immedi- 
ate future  be  near  the  truth,  there  ap- 
pears to  be  much  that  can  be  lost. 

Chicago  coal  dealers,  representatives 
of  mines,  agree  that  the  maximum  price 
fixing  will  have  a  beneficial  effect  upon 
the  coal  situation.  They  declare  that 
it  will  be  a  protection  to  the  legitimate 
coal  man  and  have  a  deterrent  effect 
upon  the  other  type  of  dealer,  the  lat- 
ter being  blamed  in  many  quarters  as 
the  person  responsible  for  the  attacks 
that  have  been  made  upon  the  business 
as  a  whole.  All  retailers  under  the 
new  agreement  will  have  paid  the  same 
price  for  coal.  Consequently  they  can 
sell  at  the  same  price. 

Freight  Rate  Increase  Allowed. 

In  The  Review  of  April  19,  the  fuel 
situation   at    that   time    was   discussed. 


U.  S.  Will  Not  Accept  Maximum. 

When  it  was  announced  that  maxi- 
mum prices  to  be  charged  for  coal  at 
the  mines  until  such  a  time  as  the  Fed- 
eral Trade  Commission  had  investigated 
the  cost  of  coal  production  had  been 
fixed,  there  was  a  belief  prevalent  that 
the  prices  of  coal  had  been  reduced. 
An  analysis  of  the  action  of  the  coal 
operators,  however,  disclosed  that  in- 
stead of  reducing  the  prices  of  various 
kinds  of  coal,  it  had  merely  confirmed 
the  prices  already  in  effect  and  which 
florists  theretofore  had  been  required 
to  pay.  In  a  few  cases  the  belief  that 
the  government  had  fixed  the  price  stif- 
fened the  backbones  of  some  coal  deal- 
ers, who  had  been  willing  up  to  that 
time  to  sell  coal  at  prices  less  than  the 
maximum  fixed. 

Members  of  President  Wilson's  cab- 
inet quickly  issued  statements  disclaim- 
ing that  the  government  had  anything 
to  do  with  fixing  the  prices  announced. 
Secretary  of  War  Baker,  who  by  virtue 
of  his  office  is  president  of  the  Council 
of  National  Defense,  characterized  the 
action  as  a  purely  voluntary  one  on  the 
part  of  the  coal  operators.  He  said  that 
the  government  had  made  no  attempt 
and  had  no  power  to  fix  the  price  of 
coal.  In  concluding  his  statement,  Sec- 
retary Baker  said: 

Baker  Calls  Prices  Unjust. 

"The  Federal  Trade  Commission  has 
been  directed  by  the  President  to  as- 
certain for  his  information  the  costs  in- 
volved in  coal  production.  The  infor- 
mation which  I  have  from  that  and 
other  sources,  I  think,  justifies  me  in 
believing  that  the  price  of  $3  suggested, 
or  agreed  on,  as  a  maximum,  is  an  exor- 
bitant,  unjust    and    oppressive    price." 

Secretary  of  the  Navy  Daniels  took  a 
similar  view  of  the  situation.    He  said: 

"I  am  from  Missouri;  I  must  be 
shown.  I  am  not  going  to  pay  any  price 
until  we  know  what  it  costs  to  produce. 
We  are  now  making  an  investigation  to 
see  what  it  costs  to  produce  a  ton  of 
coal.  Were  we  to  pay  $4  at  the  mine, 
it    probably     would     cost     $5     at     the

ships.  I  have  ordered  them  to  furnish 
the  coal  at  a  price  to  be  fixed  in  the 
future. ' ' 

Representing  the  Council  of  National 
Defense  in  the  conference  with  the  coal 
operators  was  the  coal  production  com- 
mittee of  the  council,  of  which  Francis 
S.  Peabody,  a  Chicago  coal  dealer,  is 
chairman.  It  is  now  suggested,  with- 
out any  attempt  to  impugn  Mr.  Pea- 
body's  motives,  that  a  committee  com- 
posed of  coal  producers  and  dealers 
is  naturally  in  sympathy  with  the  coal 
trade  and  its  members  unconsciously 
take  the  coal  operators'  viewpoint  of 
the  situation.  It  would  appear  that  it 
would  be  fairer  to  the  public  if  disin- 
terested men  were  on  the  committee. 

Until  the  Federal  Trade  Commission 
has  made  its  report  there  appears  no 
possibility  of  the  government  interfer- 
ing with  the  prices  fixed  by  the  coal 
operators.  If  the  report  comes  as 
quickly  as  most  reports  of  such  investi- 
gations do,  there  will  be  no  change  in 
the  coal  prices  for  several  months,  at 
least. 

In  the  meantime,  growers  will  be  re- 
quired to  pay  the  announced  prices  if 
they  want  to  buy  coal. 


COAL  FREIGHT  RATES  GO  UP. 

The  Interstate  Commerce  Commission 
made  a  ruling  June  25  whereby  the 
application  for  a  suspension  of  the  in- 
crease in  freight  rates  on  coal  was  re- 
fused. This  action  put  into  effect  July 
1  an  increase  of  15  cents  per  ton  on  coal 
shipped  from  the  bituminous  fields  of 
West  Virginia,  Virginia,  Pennsylvania, 
Ohio  and  Kentucky  to  points  north  of 
the  Ohio  river  and  east  of  the  Missis- 
sippi river. 

The  decision  will  increase  the  price 
of  Pocahontas  and  New  River  semi-bi- 
tuminous, or  so-called  smokeless  coal, 
15  cents  per  ton  to  the  grower.  How- 
ever, the  all  but  prohibitive  price  the 
producers  are  now  charging  for  this 
class  of  fuel  has  turned  many  consum- 
ers in  the  trade  to  other  fields  for  their 
supplies. 

The  permission  for  an  advance  in 
rates  is  based  upon  the  showing  made 
before  the  commission  by  the  railroads 
that  the  increased  cost  of  labor  and  sup- 
plies makes  the  raise  necessary. 


HAIL  AT  OTTUMWA. 

The  heaviest  hail  ever  known  at  Ot- 
tumwa,  la.,  fell  June  27.  It  was  not 
thick,  but  it  fell  intermittently  for  a 
quarter  of  an  hour  and  in  many  places 
pellets  went  through  any  glass  it  struck. 
C.  Kranz,  who  has  6.3,000  feet  of  green- 
house exposure,  suffered  the  breakage 
of  two-thirds  of  it,  and  in  the  houses  the 
plants  which  were  struck  by  the  ice  and 
glass  were  badly  broken  down.  Mr. 
Kranz  says  it  was  much  the  worst  hail 
he  ever  has  seen  and  that  it  was  a  ven- 
ture of  great  danger  to  go  outdoors  at 
his  place,  while  utterly  impossible,  to 
stay  in  the  greenhouses.  He  is  reglaz- 
ing. 


HAIL  AT  CANTON,  O. 

Canton's  heaviest  hail  storm  in  re- 
cent years,  accompanied  by  a  minia- 
ture cloudburst,  June  24,  did  serious 
damage  to  glass  of  greenhouses  in  the 
west  and  northwest  sections  of  the  city. 
About  two-thirds  of  the  7,000  square 
feet  of  glass  operated  by  O.  M.  Vail 
are  said  to  have  been  demolished,  and 
many  panes  in  the  house  of  C.  W.  Vail

nearby  also  were  broken.  About  125 
lights  were  broken  in  the  house  of 
Charles  Lindacher,  on  Tuscarawas 
street,  the  storm  in  that  vicinity  not  be- 
ing severe.  Other  losses  were  suffered 
by  the  Brown  Floral  Co.  and  Charles 
F.  Blane. 


PLENTY   OF  SURPLUS   STOCK. 

In  response  to  an  appeal  inserted  in 
The  Review  by  our  secretary,  Mr.  Am- 
mann,  of  Edwardsville,  I  wish  to  say  I 


could  have  had  ten  times  the  stock  I 
generally  use  of  mums  and  everything. 
This  to  me  shows  that  we  florists  are 
close  together  and  are  willing  to  help 
each  other  in  a  time  of  trouble.  It  also 
shows  that  The  Review  is  read  by  the 
trade  and  is  an  excellent  medium  to  get 
in  touch  with  each  other. 

Please  publish  this,  and  I  extend  my 
thanks  and  best  wishes  to  all  for  their 
kind  sympathy  aiid  help.  I  shall  re- 
build at  once.

ODEN  LETTER^-^-'  KEADED6 


"PLEASE   OMIT  FLOWERS." 

I  have  scrutinized  the  columns  of  The 
Review  to  find  out  what  florists  think 
of  the  request  frequently  seen  in  pub- 
lished death  notices  that  flowers  be 
omitted  at  the  funeral.  I  always  have 
wondered  what  are  the  actual  reasons 
for  such  requests,  and  of  late  I  have 
taken  the  pains  to  inquire.  One  woman 
said  she  did  not  like  the  practice  be- 
cause it  invariably  obligated  tlic  family 
to  return  favors  to  people  whom  they 
did  not  care  about.  Another  said  she 
did  not  favor  the  custom  because  it 
was  too  expensive;  also  because  it  fre- 
quently made  the  bereaved,  in  cases 
where  the  decedent  had  not  been  well 
known,  feel  badly  when  there  were  not 
so  many  tributes  to  their  dead  as  at 
tlie  burial  of  another.  A  woman  who 
had  a  ' '  please  omit  flowers ' '  notice  said 
that,  despite  the  published  reminder, 
she  had  received  many  flowers.  She  in- 
formed me  that  she  placed  the  flowers 
in  the   cellar  at   the   time   of  her  hus- 


band's funeral,  and  that  as  the  flowers 
wilted  upstairs  she  replaced  them  with 
otliers  from  downstairs,  the  source  of 
supply  not  becoming  exhausted  until 
two  weeks  after  the  burial.  In  this 
case,  and  probably  in  many  others,  the 
"please  omit  flowers"  did  a  right- 
about, and  from  all  appearances 
' '  omit ' '  may  as  well  have  read  ' '  send. ' ' 

In  many  cases  the  replies  to  my  in- 
quiries along  tliese  lines  have  been 
weak,  evasive,  with  nothing  to  stand 
on;  but  perhaps  others  in  the  trade  who 
have  sounded  the  matter  have  other 
views. 

On  several  occasions  I  have  heard 
clergymen  in  their  sermons  over  the 
dead  say  something  like  this:  "The 
departed  was  a  stranger  to  me,  but  from 
the  many  beautiful  floral  tributes  be- 
fore me  he  must  have  been  esteemed 
and  loved  by  many."  Why  should  a 
relative  sock  to  prevent  other  relatives 
or  friends  from  paying  their  last  re- 
spects to  the  dead,  by  means  of  flowers?

out any  atten^jt  to  impuf;n  Mr.  I'ea-

posed of  coal  ])roducers  and  dealers 
is  naturally  in  sympatiiy  with  the  coal 
trade  and  its  members  unconsciously 
take  the  coal  operators'  viewjjoint  of 
the  situation.  It  would  appear  that  it 
woTild  be  fairer  to  the  ])ul»lic  if  disin-

the  coal  ]irices  for  several  montlis,  at 
least. 

In  the  meantime,  growers  will  be  re- 
quired to  jiay  the  announced  prices  if 
thev  want   to  buv  coal.

THE  ROCHESTER  EXHIBITION. 


Much  Larger  Tlian  National  Show. 

The  largest  and  most  comprehensive 
display  of  peonies  in  the  United  States 
tliis  year  was  held  at  Rochester,  N.  Y., 
June"^  29  and  30.  A  large  number  of 
single  and  semi-double  varieties  were 
shown,  as  well  as  the  doubles.  Consid- 
ering the  intense  heat,  the  blooms  held 
up  well  and  even  those  which  had  been 
shipped  from  a  distance  and  kept  in 
cold  storage  for  ten  days  were  good. 

Convention  Hall  annex  was  elabo- 
rately decorated  with  fireproofed  white 
cheesecloth  and  greens.  Indirect  light- 
ing was  a  great  help  in  distinguishing 
colors.  Many  exhibits  also  were  placed 
on  the  flag-decorated  stage,  in  the  main 
auditorium.  There  was  dancing  and  a 
tea  garden  was  under  the  direction  of 
the  Lady  Florists'  'Society.  The  show 
was  not  so  largely  attended  as  it  should 
have  been,  but  undoubtedly  was  edu- 
cational to  those  who  saw  it. 

The  committees  are  to  be  highly  con- 
gratulated for  the  excellent  arrange- 
ment and  display  of  the  show.  Edwin 
P.  Wilson  was  chairman  of  decorations 
and  staging  and  was  ably  helped  by 
many  workers. 

Out-of-Town  Exhibits. 

The  Babcock  Peony  Gardens,  of  Sugar 
Grove,  Pa.,  had  forty  varieties  of  named 
peonies,  three  to  six  in  a  vase.  Mme. 
Dusel  and  Gen.  Custer  were  perhaps  the 
most   conspicuous  varieties. 

B.  H.  Farr,  of  Wyomissing,  Pa.,  had 
an  exhibit  of  fifty  named  varieties,  six 
to  eight  flowers  in  each  vase.  Mme. 
Boulanger  and  La  Perle  were  conspicu- 
ous. 

The  Cottage  Gardens  Co.,  Queens,  L. 
I.,  showed  forty-two  varieties  of  named 
peonies,  eight  to  twelve  in  each  vase. 
These  peonies  were  shipped  to  Rochester 
about  ten  days  ahead  of  the  show  and 
put  in  cold  storage.  They  kept  remark- 
ably well  at  the  show.  Baroness  Schroe- 
der  and  Dorchester  showed  up  particu- 
larly well. 

N.  A.  Hallauer,  of  Fruitland,  N.  Y., 
exhibited  a  choice  selection  of  fifteen 
named  varieties,  with  from  six  to  eight 
to  a  vase. 

T.  C.  Thurlow  &  Sons  Co.,  of  West- 
bury,  Mass.,  sent  a  wonderfully  fine 
exhibit  of  100  named  varieties,  fifteen 
to  a  vase.  Those  worthy  of  special 
mention  were  Simone  Chevelier,  Thur- 
low's  Double  Red  and  La  Rosiere. 

L.  J.  Bryant,  of  Newark,  N.  Y., 
showed  sixty-two  named  varieties  of 
peonies,  six  to  eight  in  each  vase.    His 


collection  was  a  remarkably  fine  one  and 
among  them  Enchantress  and  Midnight 
found  special  favor. 

Jackson  &  Perkins  Co.,  Newark,  N.  Y., 
exhibited  forty  named  standard  varie- 
ties of  peonies,  six  to  eight  in  a  vase. 

S.  G.  Harris,  of  Tarrytown,  N.  Y., 
staged  a  collection  of  eight  varieties, 
including  some  of  the  choicest  sorts. 

The  Park  Display. 

The  Rochester  Park  Department  was 
responsible  for  200  named  varieties,  six 
to  eight  in  a  vase,  and  about  twenty-five 
large  groups,  also  a  symbol  of  the  Red 
Cross.  Included  in  the  collection  was  a 
new  single  yellow  peony  grown  from 
seed  sent  from  Japan  by  E.  H,  Wilson.

It  is  rather  small,  with  a  curly  chrysan- 
themum center.  The  single  Japanese 
varieties  are  wonderful  and  are  of  many 
colors.  The  display  of  double  flowers 
included  Theresc,  considered  by  many 
experts  to  be  the  most  beautiful  peony 
in  existence.  The  parks  also  furnished 
the  greater  number  of  palms,  shrubs  and 
bay  trees  used  for  the  decorations. 

The  Local  Trade  Displays. 

Jacob  Thomann  &  Sons  had  two  mam- 
moth pedestal  vases  artistically  filled 
with  La  France. 

James  Vick's  Sons  put  up  a  handsome 
collection  of  thirty  named  varieties,  six 
to  eight  in  a  vase.  The  flowers  were 
.in  fine  shape. 

George  B.  Hart  had  a  good  exhibit, 
a  garden  effect,  with  peonies  with  quan- 


tities of  natural  foliage.  Natural  oak 
sprays  made  a  good  background. 

Salter  Bros,  showed  a  group  of  peo- 
nies, nicely  arranged  in  vases,  including 
many  varieties. 

J.  B.  Keller  Sons'  exhibit  covered  a 
large  area  and  was  arranged  chiefly 
for  effect.  Large  gilt  columns  on  which 
were  placed  large  bunches  of  peonies 
were  effective.  On  a  large  table  were 
three  beautiful  baskets  of  Edulis  Su- 
perba.  Other  vases  and  baskets  con- 
tained Crousse  varieties.  A  bird  bath 
in  which  pansies  were  placed  was  excel- 
lent. The  background  was  filled  in  with 
palms  and  trellises. 

Ellwanger  &  Barry  were  resi^onsible 
for  sixty-five  named  varieties  of  peo- 
nies, mostly  six  to  eight  flowers  to  a 
vase,  but  several  large  vases.  Boadicea, 
Marquis  De  Lory  and  M.  Jules  Elie 
showed  up  specially  well. 

H.  E.  Wilson  had  a  large  display  of 
peonies  arranged  chiefly  in  white  and 
green  baskets.  Palms  and  trellis  work 
made  an  ideal  background. 

George  T.  Boucher  used  much  taste  in 
grouping  his  exhibit,  which  was  com- 
posed of  peonies  in  large  wicker  vases. 

John  Charlton  &  Sons  showed  fifty 
named  varieties  of  peonies  and  ten  large 
vases.  Couronne  d'Or  and  Due  de 
Wellington  were  noteworthy.  This  was 
one  of  the  most  beautiful  collections  in 
the  show. 

The  only  other  flower  in  the  hall  was 
several  branches  of  Styrax  japonica.  It 
is  the  only  tree  of  the  variety  in  bloom 
in  Rochester  and  is  growing  on  the  lawn 
of  John  House,  florist. 

R.  H.  Langhborough  was  the  only 
amateur  exhibitor. 

To  swell  the  funds  of  the  Red  Cross 
hundreds  of  peonies  were  sold  at  the 
end  of  the  exhibition  at  5  cents  each.

AT  BOSTON. 


Peony,  Rose  and  Strawberry  Show. 

The  dates  for  the  show  at  Boston, 
June  30  and  July  1,  suited  double  peo- 
nies, but  roses  and  .strawberries  would 
liave  been  better  a  week  later.  It  is 
difficult  to  fix  correct  dates  in  advance 
for  these  summer  shows,  owing  to  our 
erratic  seasons. 

T.  C.  Thurlow 's  Sons  Co.  made  a  large 
display  of  peonies,  staging  over  5,000 
blooms,  includiiig  big  vases  of  such 
good  varieties  as  Boule  de  Neige,  Duch- 
osse  de  Nemours,  Avalanche,  M.  M.  Ca- 
huzac.  Baroness  Schroeder,  Marguerite 
Gerard,  Mme.  Crousse,  festiva  maxima, 
Jules  Calot,  Armand  Rousseau,  La  Tu- 
lipe  and  Eugene  Verdier.  George  N. 
Smith,  of  the  Wellesley  Nurseries,  had 
an  excellent  collection  of  high  grade 
flowers. 

E.  J.  Shaylor,  of  Auburndale,  showed 
a  remarkable  collection  of  his  seedlings, 
which  attracted  great  attention.  Promi- 
nent among  these  were  Wilton  Lock- 
wood,  a  large,  symmetrical,  flesh  pink 
flower  with  splashes  of  crimson;  Will- 
iam F.  Turner,  red;  Frances  Shaylor, 
white;  Jessie  Shaylor,  beautiful  French 
white;  No.  65,  pale  pink,  of  great  depth; 
Secretary  Fewkes,  a  beautiful  white 
suffused  with  pink.  All  the  foregoing 
were  awarded  certificates  of  merit.  In 
addition.  No,  35,  double  white;  Alma, 
white  Japanese,  and  Shaylor 's  Dream, 
a  beautiful  semi-double  white,  were 
awarded  honorable  mention.

THAT  the  virtues  as  well  as  the  proverbial  sins  of  a  father  may  be  visited  upon 
his  sons  "even  unto  the  third  generation"  is  not  disputed  when  the  name  of 
Winthrop  H.  Thurlow  is  mentioned.  For  Mr.  Thurlow's  grandfather,  wlio  estab- 
lished the  Thurlow  nurseries  at  Cherry  Hill,  West  Newbury,  Mass.,  in  1832,  was  an 
expert  grower;  his  son,  T.  C.  Thurlow,  was  the  same,  and  now  Winthrop  and  his 
brother  George,  grandsons  of  tlie  founder,  sliow  wliat  inheritance  will  do.  Mr. 
Thurlow's  name  is  known  to  the  trade  in  all  parts  of  the  country,  Ijocause  of  the 
Thurlow  j.eonies,  irises  and  ])hl()xes.  He  is  ])roniinent  in  the  affairs  of  the

some  may  be  had  for  Christmas  and

They  need  a  cool  house.  Antirrhinums

The  Florists'  Review 


July  5,  1917. 


CARRYING    CARNATIONS    OVER. 

It  will  be  greatly  appreciated  if  you 
will  answer  a  question  on  carnation 
culture  for  me,  as  I  am  green  in  this 
business.  Last  year  I  planted  a  house 
of  carnations,  about  800  plants.  They 
grew  fairly  well  till  the  40-below-zero 
weather  came.  Then  they  did  not  bloom 
well,  but  as  soon  as  the  weather  be- 
came mild  they  began  to  bloom  freely 
and  they  now  are  bearing  a  profuse 
crop  of  flowers.  Please  tell  me  whether 
it  would  pay  to  carry  them  over.  In 
that  case,  how  shall  I  treat  them?  Shall 
I  cut  them  down,  and  how  closely? 
What  would  be  the  best  feed  for  them? 
When  I  planted  them  last  year  I  put 
in  entirely  new  soil.         E.  W. — Can. 

If,  as  you  state,  you  are  "green" 
at  the  business,  I  would  hesitate  to 
advise  you  to  try  to  carry  your  carna- 
tions over  for  a  second  season.  Many  a 
veteran  grower  has  tried  and  failed. 
While  I  feel  confident  that  these  fail- 
ures have,  in  most  cases  at  least,  oc- 
curred because  of  failure  to  heed  a 
few  facts  which  are  patent  to  anyone 
who  will  take  a  second  thought,  yet 
a  little  more  skill  and  judgment  are 
required  in  this  operation  than  in  re- 
planting from  the  field.  One  of  the 
most  important  factors  is  that  you  can- 
not cut  back  hard,  in  the  heat  of  sum- 
mer, a  plant  which  has  worked  hard 
all  winter  and  is  pretty  well  exhausted, 
and  expect  it  to  break  from  the  hard 
wood  and  thrive.  This  is  the  most  com- 
mon cause  of  failure.  The  old  maxim, 
*'You  cannot  eat  your  cake  and  have 
it,"  applies  in  this  case.  In  order  to 
run  carnation  plants  over  the  second 
season  you  must  sacrifice  a  portion  of 
the  first  season's  crop  by  cutting  the 
plants  back  wliile  the  weather  is  yet 
comparatively  cool,  thus  allowing  the 
plants  to  recover  and  make  a  new 
start  under  favorable  weather  condi- 
tions. That  means  to  sacrifice  at  least 
the  June  crop  and  part  of  the  May 
crop. 

Now  for  your  case.  You  are  up  in 
Canada,  where  the  temperature  prob- 
ably does  not  rise  high  enough  to  be 
oppressive  to  the  carnation.  Assuming 
that  to  be  true,  if  your  plants  have 
not  made  a  normal  season's  growth, 
so  that  they  are  in  good  condition  as 
regards  tlie  supporting,  you  might  be 
able  to  run  them  right  through  without 
much  difficulty.  Make  sure  that  the 
supports  you  are  using  will  hold  the 
plants  erect  during  the  next  season, 
as  on  that  will  largely  depend  your 
success  during  the  second  season.  Give 
the  beds  a  mulch  of  half  rotted  stable 
manure,  to  prevent  too  rapid  evapora- 
tion, after  first  sprinkling  on  a  light 
application  of  ground  bone.  This  will 
carry  them  through  the  summer,  until 
about  September,  when  you  can  begin 
feeding  a  little  with  ground  sheep  ma- 
nure,    dried     blood,     acid     phosphate, 


tankage  or  any  other  food  you  may 
wish  to  use.  Keep  the  plants  upright  in 
the  supports,  keep  them  disbudded  and 
keep  them  clear  of  aphis,  thrips  and 
red  spider.  A  failure  to  heed  any  one 
of  these  principles  would  diminish,  if 
not  ruin,  your  chance  of  success.

USING  SOIL  A  SECOND  SEASON. 

Please  tell  us  whether  it  would  be 
profitable  to  use  carnation  soil  for  two 
years.  As  it  is  almost  impossible  to 
get  the  necessary  help,  we  thought  we 
might  use  the  soil  that  is  at  present  in 
the  benches  for  another  season.  What 
kind  of  fertilizer  should  we  use? 

C.  W.  E.  &  S.— Pa. 


It  would  have  to  be  a  case  of  rather 
stern  necessity  before  I  would  give  up 
changing  the  soil  in  my  carnation 
benches  every  year.  Occasionally  we 
run  across  a  grower  who  claims  to  grow 
high-grade  carnations  on  the  same  soil 
for  several  seasons  in  succession.  "Just 
as  fine  as  anyone  could  grow  them  on 
new  soil,"  is  the  way  they  usually 
put  it.  Further  inquiry,  however,  gen- 
erally discloses  the  fact  that  these 
claims  need  more  or  less  modification. 
I  know  of  only  one  instance  where  a 
grower  produced  really  high-grade  car- 
nations on  what  he  called  second-year 
soil,      and      he      admitted      that      the 


plants  were  slow  in  starting  and 
were  not  really  in  first-class  condi- 
tion until  well  along  in  the  season.  The 
blooms  I  saw  were  staged  late  in 
March.  I  know  of  no  method  of  han- 
dling this  kind  of  soil  to  restore  it  to 
its  original  fertility.  Should  such  a 
method  ever  be  discovered,  it  would  in- 
deed be  a  boon  to  the  growers,  espe- 
cially the  carnation  growers. 

If  you  really  find  it  necessary  to  use 
some  of  this  soil,  I  suggest  that  you 
take  out  the  plants  and  allow  the  soil 
to  dry  out  somewhat.  Do  not  allow  it  to 
become  powder-dry  and  do  not  allow  it 
to  dry  out  too  rapidly,  but  touch  up  the 
dry  spots  with  the  hose  every  day  or 
two  until  you  have  the  whole  bed  just 
a  little  drier  than  you  would  have  it  at 
the  time  of  planting.  If  you  have  some 
well  decayed  cattle  manure  on  the  place, 
spread  a  layer  about  an  inch  thick  over 
the  entire  bench,  preferably  after  you 
have  got  the  soil  into  the  state  de- 
scribed. Then  grind  the  whole  mass 
through  a  soil  grinder,  of  which  there 
may  be  many  styles,  but  perhaps  none 
that  is  handier  and  more  practical  than 
the  one  made  at  North  Tonawanda, 
N.  Y.  I  think  the  W.  F.  Easting  Co., 
of  Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  sells  it.  I  refer  to 
the  one  which  is  operated  by  hand. 

In  the  absence  of  cattle  manure,  you 
might  substitute  well  rotted  horse  ma- 
nure, to  which  you  would  add  pulverized 
sheep  manure  to  the  amount  of  200 
pounds  to  1,000  square  feet  of  bench 
space.  Level  this  off  and  plant  a  few 
days  later,  after  adding  moisture  grad- 
ually to  the  soil  until  it  is  in  proper 
condition  for  planting.  Bone  meal,  acid 
phosphate  and  other  fertilizers  may  be 
added  later,  as  they  are  needed.  Eun- 
ning  the  soil  through  the  grinder  is  for 
the  purpose  of  breaking  it  up  and  also 
thoroughly  mixing  it  with  the  manure. 
Both  of  these  results  are  essential,  in 
my  estimation.  A.  F.  J.  B.

A  CHAIR  OF  FLOWERS. 

The  "chair"  shown  in  the  accom- 
panying illustration  was  made  by  the 
Art  Floral  Co.,  of  San  Francisco,  for 
the  funeral  of  Alexander  Davidson,  the 
superintendent  of  Cypress  Lawn  ceme- 
tery, San  Francisco,  for  twenty-five 
years,  who  was  struck  and  killed  re- 
cently by  an  automobile  as  he  was  com- 
ing out  of  the  gate  of  the  cemetery. 
The  "chair"  represented  an  expendi- 
ture of  $100  and  was  the  tribute  of  the 
cemetery  employees.  Russell  roses  were 
used,  except  on  the  arm  rests,  which 
were  covered  with  Ophelia  roses,  and 
the  legs,  which  were  made  of  sweet  peas.

$2  PER  POUND. 

A  florist  in  a  small  city  recently  had 
a  wedding  order  on  which  the  cost  was 
not  limited  quite  so  closely  as  is  cus- 
tomary in  his  community.  Not  only 
was  he  called  on  to  decorate  the  church, 


but  he  was  asked  to  do  his  best  on  the 
bouquets  for  tlie  bride  and  her  maid. 
He  received  $30  for  one  and  $25  for  the 
other,  so  he  spared  nothing.  "They 
weighed  twelve  pounds  apiece,"  he 
proudly  declares. 

Lightness  and  grace  often  are  char- 
acteristics of  wedding  bouquets  for  the 
attainment  of  which  the  florist  feels 
himself  entitled  to  charge,  but  the  com- 
parison of  weight  with  price  is  some- 
thing distinctly  novel.  Let  us  hope 
weiglit  will  not  become  the  standard  of 
value  in  cut  flower  arrangement. 


PARCEL  POST  C.  O.  D.  FEES. 

Growers,  and  those  of  the  retailers  in 
the  trade  who  take  advantage  of  the 
c.  o.  d.  service  of  the  parcel  post,  will 
be  interested  in  the  changes  that  be- 
came effective  July  1.  The  fee  for  re- 
turning money  now  is  10  cents  for 
amounts  of  $50  and  less  and  25  cents  for 
amounts   of   $100   and  less.     The  pay-

ment  of  such  fees  automatically  insures 
the  shipments  for  their  actual  value  up 
to  the  maximum  amounts  named.  Ship- 
pers now  will  not  be  allowed  to  pay  a 
10-cent  insurance  fee  on  parcels  for 
which  more  than  $50  is  to  be  returned, 
even  though  they  would  be  willing  to 
insure  the  package  for  that  amount. 
On  the  other  hand,  when  the  value  of 
the  parcel  is  more  than  $50  and  there  is 
less  than  that  amount  to  be  returned  to 
the  shipper,  he  may  pay  the  25-cent  fee 
and  be  entitled  to  collect  for  loss  up  to 
$100. 

MONEY  FOR  RETAILERS. 

The  lower  the  prices,  the  more  expen- 
sive it  is  to  sell  cheap  or  poor  flowers,  but 
the  higher  the  prices,  the  more  profit- 
able it  is  to  sell  the  best  qualities  of 
flowers. 

It  will  do  lots  of  florists  great  good 
if  they  will  allow  the  above  brief  sen- 
tence to  sink  into  their  minds  and  be- 
come the  basis  of  their  retail  business.

CUTTING  OUT  THE  LUXURY. 

Driving  home  the  idea  by  means  of 
a  slogan,  "Carry  your  own,"  the  Com- 
mercial Economy  Board  of  the  Coun- 
cil of  National  Defense  is  working  up  a 
strong  sentiment  among  both  retail 
merchants  and  the  buying  public  in 
favor  of  the  "toting"  of  small  par- 
cels by  the  purchasers.  Figures  from 
every  part  of  the  country,  assembled 
and  digested  by  the  board's  workers, 
indicate  the  vast  expenditure  of  man 
power  and  money  represented  in  the 
modern  delivery  system  and  show  that 
the  American  public  has  grown  out  of 
its  one-time  habit  of  carrying  its  own 
bundles. 

By  the  use  of  its  slogan,  flashed  upon 
the  screens  in  thousands  of  motion  pic- 
ture houses,  and  widely  published  in 
the  periodical  press,  th3  board  aims  to 
overcome  the  prejudice  of  the  Amer- 
ican man  and  woman  against  being 
seen  in  company  with  a  parcel  of  any 
kind.  The  board  would  make  it  a  point 
of  patriotism  with  the  purchaser  not 
to  demand  that  his  or  her  dozen  carna- 
tions or  corsage  bouquet  be  rushed  home 
in  a  truck  manned  by  two  men  who 
might  be  serving  Uncle  Sam  in  a  mili- 
tary or  other  capacity.  The  truck  itself, 
says  the  board,  is  needed  for  more  vital 
service  than  speeding  home  small  pack- 
ages for  able-bodied  persons  who  insist 
on  appearing  empty-handed  in  public. 

If  the  plans  of  the  board  are  success- 
ful it  is  certain  that  the  net  savings 
from  a  corrected  and  amended  delivery 
system  will  run  far  into  the  millions 
of  dollars,  and  that  "carrying  your 
own"  will  not  only  be  respectable,  but 
actually  become  a  point  of  honor. 


CULTURE  OF  GODFREY  CALLAS. 

I  have  been  growing  the  Godfrey 
calla  for  the  last  two  years  and  have 
found  it  to  be  the  best  calla  that  grows. 
It  gives  me  two  or  three  times  as  many 
flowers  as  the  old  kind.  My  callas  are 
in  a  bed  and  are  treated  like  carnations. 
They  are  fine  and  are  still  giving  good 
flowers.  I  planted  the  bulbs  last  Sep- 
tember, but  they  did  not  start  off  as 
well  as  I  thought  they  should.  I  al- 
lowed them  to  dry  up  in  June,  and  in 
September  I  shook  out  the  old  soil  and 
replanted  them,  but  when  I  started 
them  the  crowns  of  some  of  them  rotted.

The  Vacant  Chair  as  Made  by  the  Art  Floral  Co.,  Sao  Francisco. 


I  have  been  reading  an  article  which 
appeared  in  The  Review  about  two 
years  ago,  and  which  I  have  in  my 
scrapbook.  I  notice  that  you  say  to  let 
the  old  flowering  bulbs  rest  from  June 
until  September,  and  put  the  little  ones 
out  in  the  open  until  September  and 
then  bring  them  into  the  house.  I  have 
a  good  many  of  tlie  small  ones  that  I 
should  like  to  put  in  4-iuch  pots  and 
let  them  grow  all  summer,  so  that  they 
will  be  large  enough  to  flower  next  De- 
cember. Can  I  remove  them  and  put 
them  in  pots  without  liurting  the  large 
bulbs?  Any  information  on  the  grow- 
ing or  handling  of  the  Godfrey  calla  in 
the  summer  in  the  south  will  be  ap- 
preciated. I  shall  never  grow  any  other 
kind  again,  for  it  has  proved  to  be  the 
best  for  the  country  florist  and  I  can 
recommend  it  to  any  florist  who  is  look- 
ing for  a  free-blooming  calla.  However, 
most  of  my  friends  in  the  trade  do  not 
like  it,  for  they  can  not  get  it  started  as 
easily  as  the  old  kind. 

W.  E.  P.— Okla. 


I  fully  agree  with  j'ou  that  the  God- 


frey is  the  only  calla  to  grow  and  I 
find  that  it  gives  from  double  to  treble 
the  number  of  flowers  of  the  old  Calla 
a;thiopica.  As  you  are  growing  your 
plants  in  beds,  I  would  dig  them  up  as 
the  flowering  season  ends  and  pack  tliem 
in  dry  soil  outdoors,  Avhere  you  can  pro- 
tect them  from  lieavy  rains.  You  can 
remove  the  bulblets  now;  tlieir  removal 
will  benefit  and  not  harm  the  tubers  of 
flowering  size.  The  bulblets  can  be 
planted  outdoors  or  in  boxes  and  kept 
watered.  They  will  increase  wonder- 
fully in  size  by  fall,  when  they  can  be 
lifted  auct  potted  before  frost  arrives. 
If  you  would  secure  the  maximum 
number  of  flowers  from  your  Godfreys, 
I  would  strongly  advise  against  bench 
culture  and  would  suggest  that  you 
grow  three  strong  flowering  tubers  to  a 
7-inch  or  four  to  an  8-inch  pot,  placing 
these  in  single  lines  along  the  sides  of 
a  house  kept  at  a  temperature  of  about 
55  degrees  at  night.  Feed  with  fine 
bone  in  the  form  of  top-dressings. 
Plants  thus  grown  yield  a  wonderful 
crop  of  flowers.  In  benches  they  make 
a  ranker  growth,  but  where  they  have  a

CARRYING    CARNATIONS    OVER. 

It  will  he  greatly  appreciated  if  you

ami  they  ikiw  are  hearing  a  jirofiise

What  would  he  the  hest  feed  for  them.' 
When  I  |ilaiited  them  last  year  I  ]iut 
iu   entirely    new   soil.  E.   W.Can. 

If.  as  you  state,  you  arc  ''green'' 
at  the  husiness,  1  Avould  hesitate  to 
ad\  ise  you  to  try  to  carry  your  carna- 
tion>  over  for  a  second  season.  Many  a 
Ncteran  gr(i\V(>r  has  ti'ied  and  failed. 
AVhih'  1  feel  conliilent  that  these  fail- 
ures have,  in  most  cases  at  least,  oc- 
i'urred  hecaus(>  of  failure  to  heed  a 
few  facts  which  are  ]iatent  to  anyone 
who  will  take  a  secoiul  thought,  yet 
a  little  more  skill  and  judgment  are 
re(|nired  in  this  oj)eratiou  than  in  re- 
]ilantiiig  from  the  iield.  One  of  the 
most  important  factors  is  that  you  can- 
not cut  haidx  hard,  in  tlie  heat  of  sum- 
mer. ;i  plant  which  has  Avorkdl  hard 
Jill  winter  ami  is  pretty  W(dl  exhaiisti'il. 
.and  expect  Jt  to  hfeak  from  the  hai'il 
Wood  ami  thii\e.  This  is  the  ino<t  com- 
mon cause  ot'  I'ailui'e.  The  old  iiiaxin), 
'  •  \'ou  cannot  cat  your  cake  anil  h;i\'e 
it,''  .applies  in  this  case.  In  oi'.ler  to 
iiin  cain.ation  jilaiits  <i\cr  the  secon<l 
season  \(Ui  must  s;icri(ice  ;i  portion  ol' 
the  lir^t  ^c^ason  '>  crop  hv  cutting  the 
]ilants  h.ack  while  the  wi'uther  is  yet 
ccunpa  r.at  i\  I'ly  cool,  thus  .allowing  the 
jil.ants  to  ri'co\  (U'  anil  ni.akc  a  new 
start  iiniler  fa\oi-ahle  weather  condi- 
tions. 'I'liat  means  to  s;iciilice  at  least 
thi'  .lum-  clop  anil  part  of  the  May 
crop. 

Now  for  \iuir  case.  ^  i>\\  ;ii"e  uji  in 
C'.anail.a,  Avheie  the  temperature  proh. 
uhh'  does  not  rise  high  emuigh  to  lie 
o|ijiressi\-e  to  the  I'.arnation.  Assuming 
that  to  he  true,  if  your  jikants  have 
not  m.aiie  .a  iiorm.al  season's  growth, 
so  th.at  they  are  in  good  i-omlition  as 
I'eg.ards  the  --upporting,  you  might  he 
ahle  to  run  them  right  tlir(Uigh  without 
mn(di  dillicidty.  M.ake  sure  th.at  the 
.supjioits  \ou  .are  using  will  hold  the

of  these  ])rinciples  would  diminish,  if 
not   ruin,  vour  chance  of  success.

USING  SOIL  A  SECOND  SEASON. 

J  Mease  t(dl  us  whether  it  would  be 
]ir(ditalde  to  use  carnation  soil  for  two 
years.  A.s  it  is  almost  impossible  to 
get  the  necessary  helji,  we  thought  we 
might  use  the  soil  that  is  at  i)resent  in 
the  beiudu>s  for  aiu)ther  season.  What 
kind  of  fertilizer  should  we  use? 

C.  AV.  E.  &  S.— Pa. 

It  would  have  to  be  a  case  of  rather 
stoni  necessity  before  I  would  give  up 
changing  the  soil  in  my  carnation 
benches  every-  year.  Occasionally  we 
run  across  a  grower  who  claims  to  grow 
high-grade  carnations  on  the  same  soil 
for  several  seasons  in  succession.  "Just 
as  line  as  anyone  coidd  grow  them  on 
new  soil,"  is  the  way  they  usually 
put  it.  Further  inquiry,  liowever,  gen- 
erally discloses  the  fact  that  tliese 
claims  need  more  or  less  modification. 
1  know  of  only  one  instance  where  a 
grower  produced  really  high-grade  car- 
nations on  what  he  called  second-year 
s(ul,       and       he      admitted       that       the 


plants  were  slow  in  starting  and 
were  not  really  in  lirst-class  condi- 
tion until  well  along  iu  the  season.  The 
blooms  I  saw  were  staged  late  in 
March.  I  know  of  no  method  of  han- 
dling this  kind  of  soil  to  restore  it  to 
its  original  fertility.  Should  such  a 
method  ever  be  discovered,  it  would  in- 
deed be  a  boon  to  the  growers,  espe- 
cially the  carnation  growers. 

If  you  really  find  it  necessary  to  use 
some  of  this  soil,  1  suggest  that  you 
take  out  the  plants  ancl  allow  the  soil 
to  dry  out  somewhat.  Do  not  allow  it  to 
become  jiovvder-dry  and  do  not  allow  it 
to  dry  out  too  rajjidly,  but  touch  up  the 
dry  spots  with  the  hose  every  day  or 
two  until  you  have  the  whole  bed  just 
a  little  drier  than  you  would  have  it  at 
the  time  of  planting.  If  you  have  some 
well  decaye<l  cattle  manure  on  the  place, 
si)read  a  la.ver  about  an  iiudi  thick  over 
tlie  entire  beiudi,  preferably  after  you 
have  got  the  soil  into  the  state  de- 
scribed. Then  grind  the  whole  mass 
through  a  soil  grimier,  of  which  there 
nuiy  be  nuiny  styles,  luit  perhaps  none 
that  is  handier  ;ind  more  practical  than 
the  one  m;ide  at  North  Tonawanda, 
X.  Y.  I  think  the  W.  F.  Kasting  Co., 
of  Bnfi'alo,  \.  Y.,  sells  it.  1  refer  to 
the  one  whitdi  is  operated  by  hand. 

In  the  ahseiH'e  of  cattle  manure,  you 
might  substitute  well  rotted  horse  ma- 
nure, to  which  you  would  add  ))ulverized 
sheep  manure  to  the  amount  of  200 
pounds  to  1,000  square  feet  of  bench 
space.  Level  this  otf  and  ])lant  a  few 
days  later,  after  adding  moisture  grad- 
ually to  the  soil  until  it  is  iu  ju-oper 
condition  for  ])l;niting.  Bone  meal,  acid 
])hosphate  and  other  fertilizers  may  be 
added  later,  .as  they  are  needed.  Run- 
ning the  soil  through  the  grinder  is  for 
the  j)urj)ose  of  lireaUing  it  uj)  .and  also 
thoroughly  mixing  it  with  the  manure. 
Both  of  these  results  are  essential,  in 
mv  estim.ation.  A.  F.  J.  B.

CARNATIONS  IN  THE  SOUTH. 


Preparing  to  House  the  Plants. 

Wlien  the  blooming  season  is  over 
nearly  all  growers  throw  out  their 
old  carnation  plants  and  prepare  the 
houses  for  the  new  ones.  Careful  prep- 
aration is  required,  whether  the  old  soil 
is  to  be  used  again  or  whether  the  beds 
are  filled  with  new  soil.  In  adopting 
the  first  plan,  after  the  old  plants  have 
been  thoroughly  cleaned  out,  the  beds 
should  be  left  alone  for  a  week,  with 
the  ventilators  closed,  in  order  that  the 
soil  may  get  a  good  drying.  The  soil 
then  may  be  spaded  and  left  in  a  rough 
state  for  another  week  or  ten  days,  to 
complete  the  drying  out  process.  This 
drying  out  of  the  soil  is  only  another 
way  of  giving  it  a  mild  sterilization. 

When  the  house  is  wanted  for  plant- 
ing, an  inch  of  the  top  soil  may  be  re- 
moved and  replaced  with  good  cow  ma- 
nure, and  the  whole  spaded  over  or 
chopped  in  with  a  hoe.  Smooth  the 
surface  with  a  rake,  and  two  days  be- 
fore planting  water  the  soil  thoroughly, 
and  the  beds  will  be  in  good  condition. 

The  preparation  of  the  new  soil  should 
begin  in  the  fall.  The  ground  from 
which  the  soil  is  to  be  taken  should  have 
a  2-inch  coating  of  manure  applied  and 
then  plowed  under.  Or  the  ground  may 
be  plowed  first  and  then  top-dressed 
with  the  manure.  I  believe  the  govern- 
ment, experts  claim  that  the  last-named 
nuthod  gets  the  best  results  from  the 
manure.  Early  in  the  spring  the  ground 
should  be  broken  again  and  gone  over 
with  a  disk  harrow.  This  treatment 
may  be  repeated  as  often  as  necessary 
to  get  the  soil  well  pulverized.  Carna- 
tions do  not  like  a  lumpy  soil;  neither  is 
it  necessary  that  the  soil  contain  fiber. 
To  minimize  the  ravages  of  stem-rot,  I 
have  let  the  soil  remain  for  two  weeks 
before  planting,  but  I  must  confess  that 
the  results  obtained  were  hardly  com- 
mensurate with  the  time  lost. 

Stem-Bot. 

After  years  of  experimenting  it  seems 
that  we  are  as  far  from  a  remedy  for 
stem-rot  as  ever.  Last  spring  one  writer 
gave  his  experience  that  by  shallow 
planting  he  had  entirely  escaped  this 
disease,  losing  not  a  single  plant.  I 
envy  the  writer  his  good  fortune,  but 
such  has  never  been  my  experience,  nor 
have  I  ever  seen  it  work  out  success- 
fully with  any  of  my  neighboring  grow- 
ers. I  practice  shallow  planting  be- 
cause it  seems  to  be  the  universal  idea 
that  such  planting  has  a  tendency  to 
check  the  inroads  of  the  disease,  but 
I  never  hesitate  to  plant  deep  enough 
to  make  the  plants  stand  straight  in 
the  beds.  Between  the  two  methods  I 
have  never  been  able  to  see  if  one  had 
any  superiority  over  the  other,  I  be- 
lieve I  have  tried  all  the  remedies  of- 
fered, yet  I  am  forced  to  admit  that  we 


still   need   a  Moses   to  lead   us   out   of 
Egypt. 

It  is  well  to  take  all  the  precautions 
and  endeavor  to  keep  the  loss  down  to 
a  minimum.  Whenever  a  plant  shows 
signs  of  the  disease,  remove  it  from  the 
house  at  once.  Eemove  also  the  soil  in 
which  it  grew  and  replace  with  fresh 
soil  before  replanting.  I  always  feel 
like  congratulating  myself  when  I  can 
keep  the  loss  under  ten  per  cent.  The 
plants  in  the  field,  thanks  to  the  Skinner 
system  of  irrigation,  I  believe,  this 
year  are  looking  exceptionally  healthy 
and  growing  finely,  and  so  far  not  a 
plant  has  died  from  stem-rot.  L. 

PITY  THE  POOR  CEMETERIES. 

Florists  will  view  with  equanimity 
the  plight  of  the  cemeteries,  especially 
those  which  maintain  greenhouse  de- 
partments and  bar  outside  competition, 
but  it  is  apparent  some  of  these  find 
themselves  closer  pressed  than  does  the 
average  florist.  A  cemetery's  opportu- 
nity for  meeting  increased  costs  by 
creating  a  larger  volume  of  business  is 
not  of  the  best  and  the  methods  taken 
to  pass  on  to  patrons  the  increased  costs 
are  as  interesting  as  they  are  unusual. 
Having  sold  its  lots  on  the  argument  of 
the  superior  care  given  the  grounds  and 
the  specially  handsome  appearance  of 
the  place,  one  cemetery  now  sends  lot 


owners  who  have  not  ordered  anything 
a  bill  for  * '  general  care, ' '  accompanied 
by  this  letter: 

The  price  of  labor  has  doubled  In  the  past 
five  years. 

Materials  which  we  are  compelled  to  buy  have 
increased  in  cost  from  fifty  per  cent  to  200  per 
cent  or  more. 

Under  these  conditions  we  can  no  longer  care 
for  your  lot  and  give  general  service  unless  you 
are  willing  to  pay  part  of  tlie  expense. 

Care  of  your  lot  will  be  discontinued  unless 
the  enclosed  bill  is  paid  promptly  and  other  ex- 
Ijensive  service  will  not   be  rendered. 

In  the  last  few  years  cemetery  man- 
agers have  come  to  realize  that  the 
older  sections  of  their  grounds  are  a 
liability  rather  than  an  asset;  barring 
florists  out  does  not  give  enough  in- 
come from  lot  planting  to  pay  the  cost 
of  maintenance.  To  avoid  the  steady 
aggravation  of  this  condition,  the  plan 
was  devised  of  getting  lot  buyers  to 
create  a  special  fund  for  the  endow- 
ment of  the  cemetery  and  a  percentage 
of  the  receipts  from  the  sale  of  lots  now 
is  set  aside,  the  interest  on  which  is 
paid  over  to  the  management  for  the 
perpetual  care  of  the  lots,  the  owners 
of  which  created  the  fund. 


GREENHOUSE  INSURANCE. 

Please  tell  us  to  whom  to  apply  for 
insurance  on  our  greenhouses,  against 
cyclones  and  hail.        M.  F.  C. — Minn. 

If  your  risk  is  of  the  right  character 
your  local  fire  insurance  agents  will  be 
able  to  get  you  a  wind  storm  policy. 
If  the  risk  is  not  in  line  with  the  re- 
quirements of  the  companies,  you  can- 
not get  the  insurance,  but  no  doubt  your 
regular  agent  can  tell  you  what  it  is 
necessary  for  you  to  do  to  bring  your 
risk  up  to  the  standard.

SEASONABLE  NOTES. 


Fhalsenopsis. 

The  beautiful  phalaenopsis,  or  moth 
orahids,  are  yearly  becoming  more  pop- 
ular commercially.  They  are  not  of 
easy  culture,  like  cattleyas,  dendrobes 
or  cypripediums,  and  to  do  them  well 
a  special  house  is  necessary.  The  Cali- 
fornia growers  succeed  specially  well 
with  phalsenopsis.  They  have  the  ad- 
vantage of  being  located  3,000  miles 
nearer  the  natural  home  of  the  phalse- 
nopsis,  the  Philippines,  than  the  large 
eastern  orchid  specialists,  but  the  latter 
are  rapidly  learning  the  needs  of  the 
moth  orchids  and  extending  their  cul- 
ture. 

The  best  collections  of  those  plants  I 
have  seen  are  growing  in  houses  con- 
taining a  central  tank,  over  which  rows 
of  phalsenopsis  are  hung  on  iron  rods 
or  galvanized  piping.  Thrips  and  red 
spider  both  trouble  phalsenopsis,  but 
with  the  moisture  provided  by  tanks  of 
water  this  danger  is  largely  minimized. 
Careful  sponging  of  the  leaves  with 
tepid  water  helps  greatly  to  keep  these 
pests  in  check.  Phalspnopsis  plants  neeil 
considerable  shade.  The  sun  would  soon 
burn  and  disfigure  the  handsome  leaves 
of  Schilleriana  or  amabilis.  They  need 
at  all  times  a  brisk,  moist  heat  and 
there  are  not  a  few  days  and  nights 
even  in  summer  when  a  little  fire  lieat 
will  benefit  them.  Phalaenopsis  can  be 
grown  successfully  in  pans,  on  blocks 
or  in  deep,  narrow  baskets,  in  a  mixture 
of  fresh  sphagnum  moss  and  fern  root. 


EARLY   ^JOWSTORM   SWEET  PEA. 

The  Re\^^  for  Juno  21  contained  an 
interesting  article  with  reforonce  to 
George  W.  Kerr's  work  in  breeding  a 
race  of  early-flowering  Spencers  for 
greenhouse  Avork,  using  Yarrawa  as  the 
seed-bearer.  The  accompanying  illus- 
tration shows  the  variety  Early  Snow- 
storm, of  which  one  and  one-half  acres 
were  grown  at  the  Floradale  farm  in 
California  this  season.  Howard  M. 
Earl,  who  has  charge  of  the  growing  op- 
erations of  the  Burpee  firm,  says  he 
considers  Early  Snowstorm  as  "un- 
doubtedly the  best  of  all  the  early  white 
sweet  peas,  whether  of  the  Spencer  or 
grandiflora   class. ' ' 


SWEET  PEA  CROPS. 

When  should  I  make  my  first  sowing 
of  sweet  peas  this  fall  in  order  to  grow 
the  second  crop  next  spring  on  the  same 
bed,  or  is  it  possible  to  make  one  batch 
produce  flowers  all  winter  and  until 
late  in  the  spring?  V.  R.  E. — Iiid. 


I  would  not  advise  you  to  try  suc- 
cessive crops  of  sweet  peas  in  the  same 
bed  without  some  rotation.  If  you  sow 
seeds  early  in  September,  the  plants  will 
start  to  flower  about  Christmas  and 
will  yield  blooms  for  at  least  three 
months.  I  would  suggest  that  you  try 
a  crop  of  tomatoes  or  cucumbers  after 
the  peas  have  passed.  If  you  sow  sweet 
peas  in  July  they  will  start  to  flower 


Sw^eet  Pea  Early  Snowstorm. 


early  in  October  and  Idoom  profitably 
until  January.  If  you  want  to  have  a 
long  succession  of  sweet  peas,  you 
should  make  two  sowings,  hut  do  not 
attempt  to  run  two  crops  on  the  same 
ground,  as  there  would  be  a  long  jjap 
between  the  crops.  C.  W.

POINTERS  ON  MIGNONETTE. 

IMease  give  me  a  few  directions  for 
growing  mignonette   indoors. 

V.  R.  E.— Ind. 

Seed  of  mignonette  can  be  sown  about 
August  1,  in  either  solid  beds  or  raised 
benches.  If  the  latter,  there  should 
1)0  no  heating  pipes  below  them.  Use 
such  soil  as  suits  roses  or  carnations. 
Sow  small  pindies  of  seeds  a  foot  apart 


oacli  way  and  tliiu  out  to  two  or  three 
soodliiigs  in  each  jtatcli.  Mignonette 
needs  a  low  tenii)orature,  4l*  to  4o  de- 
grees at  night  being  am])le.  The  plants 
need  supi)ortiiig  with  wires,  and  cross 
strings  or  pieces  of  brush  should  be 
jlacod  among  the  plants.  Pinch  liack 
the  first  lot  of  flowers  and  lot  tlio  plants 
start  from  the  base.  Watch  for  green 
worms,  tlio  kind  which  attack  cab- 
bages. Tliey  will  need  careful  hand- 
picking  in  early  fall.  Plants  throw 
stronger  spikes  when  disbudded,  and 
when  well  established  a  mulch  of  old 
manure,  in  addition  to  occasional  soak- 
ings  of  licjuid  manure,  will  be  found 
beneficial.  Avoid  heavy  fumigation 
where  mignonette  is  grown,  as  the  foli- 
age scorches  easily.  C.  W. 


Oneonta,  N.  Y. — C.  W.  Peck  sees  one 
of  the  best  seasons  on  record  ahead, 
following  the  hysteria  through  which 
the  country  has  passed.

VEGETABLES  AND 
FRUITS  DEPARTMENT 

CULTURE    OF    MUSHROOMS. 

I  am  sending  you  a  package  of  mush- 
rooms and  would  like  to  know  which  is 
the  right  kind.  I  find  many  of  the 
small  ones,  but  the  majority  are  more 
like  the  large  ones.  This  is  my  first 
attempt  at  growing  them,  but  I  intend 
to  continue  their  culture  and  would  like 
to  know  the  name  of  the  right  variety. 

W.  H.  H.— Mo. 


These  are  small  fungi  which  are  not 
poisonous,  but  not  much  used  for  food. 
They  come  up  abundantly  in  beds  and 
benches,  especially  where  barnyard  ma- 
nure has  been  used  freely.  The  mush- 
room of  commerce,  Agaricus  campestris, 
of  which  there  are  several  forms,  is 
touch  larger  and  heavier  than  these 
fungi  and  has  thick,  white  stalks  and 
white  skin  while  young,  if  it  is  grown 
in  a  darkened  position.  It  comes  darker 
when  grown  in  a  strong  light.  While 
young  the  mushrooms  are  white,  no 
matter  where  they  are  grown,  and  the 
gills  are  pink,  turning  brown  and  finally 
black  with  age. 

Prices  of  mushrooms  fluctuate  widely, 
but  they  are  highest  during  the  hot 
summer  months,  when  the  culture  is 
most  difficult  on  account  of  the  preva- 
lence of  insect  pests  and  the  difficulty 
in  securing  a  suitable  cellarage  space 
where  the  temperature  can  be  kept 
down  to  60  to  65  degrees.  It  is  com- 
paratively easy  to  grow  mushrooms 
under  greenhouse  benches  in  winter  if 
provision  is  made  to  protect  the  beds 
from  overhead  drip  and  the  mushrooms 
can  be  kept  dark.  Cellars  also  may  be 
used,  but  the  beds  must  not  be  made 
near  boilers  that  radiate  a  drying  heat. 
I  find  50  to  55  degree^  a  good  winter 
temperature,  while  in  summer  we  use 
cellars  where  the  temperature  never  ex- 
ceeds 65  degrees  on  tlie  liottest  days. 
Ventilation  is  given  on  cool  nights  only 
at  that  season,  and  a  fumigation  Avith 
gas  once  in  ten  days  clears  out  all  in- 
sect pests.  C.   W. 


Poinsettia  cuttings  can  be  taken  from 
now  until  the  end  of  July  for  flowering 
in  small  pots  or  pans  for  Christmas.  I 
have  rooted  them  as  late  as  the  early 
part  of  August  for  making  up  small 
pans.  When  the  bracts  sliow,  the  plants 
should  be  given  a  night  temperature  of 
58  to  60  degrees,  and  special  care  in 
watering  is  needed  if  tlie  foliage  is  to 
be  retained.  C.  W, 


SCALE  ON  PALMS. 

Can  you  tell  me  Iiow  to  rid  palms  of 
scale,  witliout  washing  the  plants,  so-je 
of  wliich  are  eight  feet  in  height?  It 
is  difficult  to  wasli  the  plants  tlior- 
oughly,  but  something  must  be  done, 
as  much  of  the  foliage  is  being  spoiled. 
W,  J.— Ill,

men's  accounts  of  their  bouts  with  the 
finny  tribe  are  to  be  shorn  of  the  em- 
broidery before  assimilating,  wise  men 
say.  C.  C.  PoUworth,  of  Milwaukee,  is 
a  fisherman  of  parts,  but  Mr.  PoUworth 
is  an  exception  to  the  general  run  in 
that  he  is  a  proof-producing  angler. 
Mr,  PoUworth  brings  back  pictorial 
record  of  his  good  luck,  as  shown  in  the 
accompanying  illustration,  and  thereby 
has  something  on  which  to  hang  his 
tales. 

The  husky  muskellunge  partially  ob- 
scuring Mr,  PoUworth  in  the  picture 
was  hooked  at  Pelican  lake,  the  Wis- 
consin paradise  of  fishermen,  where  the 
sportive  Milwaukeean  recently  tried 
his  luck  for  a  few  days.  Incidentally, 
at  the  conclusion  of  his  letter  Mr,  Poll- 
worth  places  an  onerous  implication  on 
the  heads  of  our  Chicago  sportsmen, 
namely:  "I  note  that  quite  a  number 
of  the  Chicago  boys  go  a-fishing,  but  one 
never  sees  any  results!"

of  scale  is  to  lay  them  on  their  sides 
and  give  the  under  side  of  the  leaves 
a  spraying  of  Aphine,  I  have  found 
that  this  will  kill  and  loosen  the  scale, 
but  will  not  remove  it,  A  couple  of 
days  later  lay  the  plants  down  again 
and  use  the  hose  on  them,  directing  the 
water  through  a  fine  spray  nozzle.  If 
the  work  is  done  thoroughly,  nearly  all 
of  the  scale  will  be  blown  off  by  the 
pressure.  Be  sure  to  wet  every  portion 
of  the  leaves  with  the  insecticide.  Usu- 
ally the  scale  is  found  on  the  under  side 
of  the  leaves,  but  some  of  it  probably 
will  also  be  found  on  the  upper  portions. 
There  are  other  insecticides  which  also 
are  good  remedies  for  scale.         C,  W, 


ROY  WILCOX  RETIRES. 

A  change  in  the  affairs  of  J.  P.  Wil- 
cox &  Sons  Co,,  Council  Bluffs,  la.,  was 
effected  last  week,  when  Eoy  Wilcox  re- 
tired from  the  company,  his  stock  being 
purchased  by  his  mother,  Mrs.  J.  F. 
Wilcox,  and  his  brothers,  Blaine  Wilcox 
and  Glen  Wilcox.  Owing  to  poor  health 
Roy  Wilcox  expects  for  the  present  to 
devote  his  time  to  personal  and  estate 
matters. 

The  Wilcox  greenhouses  are  among 
the  largest  in  the  west  and  since  the 
death  of  J,  F.  Wilcox  have  been  under 
the  management  of  Eoy  Wilcox,  In 
future  Blaine  Wilcox  will  be  at  the  head 
of  the  company  and  Glen  Wilcox  will 
continue  in  charge  of  the  large  Manawa 
houses.  Extensive  additions  are  planned, 
which  will  make  the  establishment  of 
still  larger  influence  in  trade  affairs 
west  of  the  Mississippi,

Louis  Menand,  of  Troy,  N.  Y,,  re- 
marked that  it  looked  gloomv  early  in 
the  week,  but  that  the  sudden  bright 
weather  enabled  them  to  fill  their  usual 
orders  at  the  cemeterv  close  bv, 

Henry  Youell,  of  Syracuse,  says  the 
wet  weather  has  affected  the  seedling 
gladioli  planted  out  early.  He  exam- 
ined some  of  his  stock  and  found  that 
quite  a  number  of  the  plants  were  rot- 
ten. If  warm  weather  follows  now,  a 
fine  growth  is  looked  for.  Many  seed- 
lings and  new  varieties  from  California 
are  on  trial  here  for  the  first  time. 
Entries  for  the  show  at  New  York  dur- 
ing the  S,  A,  F,  convention. promise  to 
make  a  full  list,  according  to  Mr,  Youell. 

Albert  It,  Davis,  of  Syracuse,  took  a 
day  off  to  indulge  in  the  piscatorial  art, 
"Only  the  rainy  weatlier  permitted 
such  recreation  at  tliis  busy  time,"  ob- 
served Mr,  Davis,  ' '  for  we  have  been 
up  to  our  eyes  in  work  right  along." 


The  Humphrey  Floral  Co.,  of  Rome, 
N,  Y,,  is  a  corporation  formed  by  two 
sisters,  who  conduct  a  modern  retail 
establishment  with  every  success. 
Equal  to  any  emergency,  in  this  instance 
caused  by  enforced  absence  of  male 
help,  both  were  performing  tasks  I  had 
never  before  seen  done  by  daughters  of 
Eve,  and  I  venture  the  opinion  that 
never  were  plants  more  carefully  wa- 
tered nor  window  boxes  more  artistic- 
ally filled. 

W.  T.  Hughes,  of  Rome,  notes  an 
increase  in  general  business  through  the 
season  of  fully  fifty  per  cent,  and  is,  of 
course,   sanguine   regarding  the   future. 

E,  J,  Byam,  of  Rome,  says:  "By  all 
means  show  your  patrons  by  word  and 
action  that  ours  is  a  business  just  as 
necessary  in  the  lives  of  the  people 
today  as  it  was  to  the  Romans  of  ancient 
times,"  The  fine  stock  so  attractively 
displayed  indorses  his  views  and  attracts

OBITUARY 


Abraham  L.  Pennock. 

Abraham  L.  Pennock,  the  oldest  flo- 
rist in  Philadelphia,  died  in  the  Pres- 
byterian hospital  June  29,  in  the  nine- 
tieth year  of  his  age.  Mr.  Pennock  was 
the  founder  of  the  firm  of  Pennock 
Bros.,  the  pioneer  florists  of  his  city, 
and  father  of  the  younger  men  whose 
names  are  household  words  in  the  trade 
today.  He  was  widely  known  and  highly 
respected,  retaining  until  the  close  of 
his  long  and  useful  life  a  keen  interest 
in  the  affairs  of  the  busy  world  in  which 
he  has  taken  such  a  prominent  part. 

For  many  years  Mr.  Pennock  had 
made  his  winter  home  in  Jupiter,  Fla., 
where  two  of  his  sons  are  engaged  in 
business.  He  came  from  Jupiter  to  his 
home  in  Lansdowne,  Pa.,  to  spend  the 
beautiful  month  of  June.  There  was 
celebrated  the  golden  wedding  anniver- 
sary, June  5,  when  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Pen- 
neck,  surrounded  by  their  sons  and 
daughters  and  their  children,  had  a 
happy  reunion. 

Abraham  L.  Pennock  built  his  first 
greenhouses  at  Lansdowne  in  1861,  the 
year  of  the  commencement  of  our  great 
Civil  war.  It  is  interesting  to  note  at 
this  time  of  stress  that  Mr.  Pennock 
had  the  courage  to  embark  in  a 
new  enterprise  when  the  whole  coun- 
try was  ringing  with  alarms.  Three 
years  later,  in  1864,  while  the  war  was 
still  in  progress,  the  firm  of  Pennock 
Bros,  commenced  business  on  Twelfth 
street,  near  Chestnut  street,  Philadel- 
phia. The  firm  was  composed  of  A.  L. 
Pennock  and  J.  L.  Pennock.  In  1876, 
the  centennial  year,  Pennock  Bros,  re- 
moved to  their  present  quarters  at  1514 
Chestnut  street.  The  lot  was  the  same 
size  then  as  now,  but  the  store  and  con- 
servatory have  been  improved  and  re- 
modeled since.  In  1878,  I  think,  J.  L. 
Pennock  withdrew.  The  firm  was  then 
formed  of  A.  L.  Pennock,  Thomas  Cart- 
ledge,  John  Westcott  and  Herbert  A. 
Pennock.  Mr.  Pennock  continued  his 
active  interest  in  the  firm  of  Pennock 
Bros,  and  in  his  greenhouses  at  Lans- 
downe until  1892,  when  the  firm  of  Pen- 
nock Bros,  was  again  changed;  John 
Westcott  withdrew  to  take  charge  of 
Ferguson's  Laurel  Hill  Nurseries,  which 
he  had  just  purchased,  and  Herbert  A. 
Pennock  retired  to  embark  in  business 
as  a  grower  in  Florida.  The  firm  then 
consisted  of  Abraham  L.  Pennock  and 
Thomas  Cartledge,  each  partner  bring- 
ing his  son  to  learn  the  business.  Upon 
the  death  of  Mr.  Cartledge,  in  1898,  Mr. 
Pennock  withdrew  from  the  firm  of 
Pennock  Bros.,  which  from  that  day  un- 
til this  has  been  composed  of  A.  B. 
Cartledge  and  J.  Liddon  Pennock. 

Mr.  Pennock 's  greatest  floricultural 
achievement  lay  in  making  lily  of  the 
valley  into  an  every-day-in-the-year 
flower  through  the  employment  of  cold 
storage. 

Mr.  Pennock  had  divided  his  time 
since  his  withdrawal  from  active  busi- 
ness between  Jupiter,  Fla.,  and  Lans- 
downe, Pa.,  keeping  in  close  touch  with 
all  the  life  of  both  places. 

Mr.  Pennock  is  survived  by  his  wife, 
Mrs.  Anna  C.  Pennoik;  three  daugh- 
ters, Mrs.  Frances  S.  Laird,  Mrs.  N.  P. 
Stauffer,   and   Mrs.   Kobert   C.   Folwell, 


Nongacnarian  A.  L.  Pennock  Photographed  in  Golden  Wedding  Group,  June  5. 


and  six  sons,  Herbert  A.,  Casper,  Sam- 
uel S.,  J.  Liddon,  Henry  S.  and 
George  L. 

The  funeral  services  were  held  at  the 
Pennock  home  at  Lansdowne  July  2 
and  were  largely  attended.  There  were 
many  beautiful  flowers.  Phil. 

J.  I.  Donlan. 

James  Ivera  Donlan  died  suddenly 
at  Ward's  Island  hospital,  New 
York,      Wednesday,      June      27.      Mr. 


Charles  W.  Unglaub. 

Donlan  was  a  man  of  splen- 
did artistic  ability  and  he  wielded 
a  trenchant  pen.  His  unique  and  inter- 
esting letters  in  The  Review  in  its  early 
days  will  long  be  remembered.  He  was 
associated  with  Klunder  for  several 
years  and  his  capacity  as  a  decorator 
was  widely  recognized. 

He  was  active  in  connection  with 
John  Thorpe  at  the  Chicago  world's 
fair.  Oflate  years  he  had  been  a  writer 
for  the  New  York  World  and  other 
daily  papers. 

Fred  M.    Kelly. 

F.  M.  Kelly,  proprietor  of  a  range 
of   houses    at   Kokomo,   Ind.,   and   well 


known  to  Indiana  florists,  was  drowned 
June   27. 

Tlie  body  of  the  decedent  was  found 
in  the  Mississnewa  river,  on  the  out- 
skirts of  Marion,  Ind.,  and  the  authori- 
ties of  the  town  said  there  was  every 
indication  that  Mr.  Kelly  had  been 
robbed  and  then  thrown  into  the  river. 

The  deceased,  who  was  35  years  of 
age,  entered  the  florists'  business  about 
fifteen  years  ago,  and  was  considered 
one  of  the  most  capable  growers  of  his 
part  of  the  state.  He  had  many  friends, 
but  his  eccentricities  were  marked,  al- 
though he  was  unfailingly  generous 
and  affable.  He  is  survived  by  his 
mother,  his  wife  and  a  daughter  9  years 
of  age. 

B.  Hart. 

B.  Hart,  senior  member  of  tlie  firm 
of  Hart  Bros.,  8322  Detroit  street, 
Cleveland,  O.,  died  Saturday,  June  30, 
after  an  illness  of  only  a  few  days.  An 
attack  of  quinsy  the  first  part  of  the 
week  developed  into  diphtheria,  from 
wliicli  he  died. 

Mr.  Hart  was  a  son  of  Herman  A. 
Hart,  one  of  Cleveland's  pioneer  florists, 
and  was  40  years  old.  He  was  married 
and  leaves  a  widow  and  one  daughter. 
The  funeral  was  held  Monday,  July  2, 
and  was  private.  The  burial  at  River- 
side cemetery  was  in  charge  of  the  Ma- 
sons. Mr.  Hart  was  a  member  of  the 
Cleveland  Florists'  Club  and  was  prom- 
inent in  the  bowling  tournaments  of  the 
club.  F.  A.  F. 

THE  LATE  C.  W.  UNGLAUB. 

Charles  W.  Unglaub,  who  died  June 
4  at  Springfield,  O.,  had  all  his  working 
life  engaged  in  the  florists'  business. 
During  the  last  years  of  his  life  he  spe- 
cialized in  carnations  and  chrysanthe- 
mums and  had  the  reputation  of  being 
one  of  the  most  successful  growers  of 
carnations  in  the  state.  The  illness 
that  caused  his  death  at  the  age  of  44 
years  came  at  a  time  when  he  was  do>- 
veloping  a  new  greenhouse  establish- 
ment, he  having  sold  his  original  range 
in  1912.  He  left  a  widow  and  two  chil- 
dren. The  executors  of  the  estate  are 
considering  the  sale  of  the  Unglaub 
establishment.

A  change  in  tlie  affairs  of  J.  F.  Wil- 
cox &  Sons  Co.,  Council  liluffs,  la.,  was 
(dfected  last  week,  when  Koy  Wilcox  re- 
tired from  the  company,  his  stock  being 
purchased  by  his  mother,  Mrs,  J.  V. 
Wilcox,  and  liis  brothers,  Blaine  Wilcox 
and  Cilen  Wilcox.  Owing  to  poor  health 
Hoy  Wilcox  expects  for  the  present  to 
devote  his  time  to  personal  and  estate 
nmtters. 

The  Wilcox  greenhouses  are  among 
the  largest  in  the  west  and  since  the 
death  of  J.  F.  Wilcox  have  been  under 
the  management  of  lioy  Wilcox.  In 
future  Hlaine  Wilcox  will  be  at  the  head 
of  the  comjiany  and  (ilen  Wilcox  will 
continue  in  (diarge  of  the  large  Manawa 
houses.  Extensive  additions  are  planned, 
whicli  -will  make  the  establishment  of 
still  larger  intliieiice  in  trade  affairs 
west    of  tlie  ^Mississippi.

in  tile  afl'airs  of  tlic  busy  world  in  whieh 
he  lias  taken  sueh  a  jironiinent  |iait. 

For  many  years  ]\lr.  rcnnoek  had 
made  his  winter  home  in  .lu])iter,  Fhi., 
where  two  of  his  sons  arc  en;;a^e(l  in 
liusiiiess.  lie  came  from  .lupitcr  to  his 
home  in  Lansdowiic,  I'a.,  to  s|icnd  tiie 
beautiful  month  of  dune.  There  was 
eelebrated  the  golden  wcdiliiij^  anni\i'r- 
sary,  June  .",  when  Mr.  aiol  Mrs.  I'en- 
iioek,  surrouiide(|  iiy  their  sdiis  and 
dauf;liters  and  their  (  iiihlrt'ii,  had  a 
hajipy   reunion. 

Abraham  ]..  I'ennoi-k  built  his  first 
greciiliouses  at  Lansdownc  in  1,'S()1,  the 
year  of  the  (•(iimneiicenifiit  of  our  great 
Civil  war.  It  is  interesting  to  note  at 
this  time  of  stress  that  Mr.  I'ennoek 
had  the  eoui'ago  to  embark  in  a 
new  enterj)rise  when  the  wlnde  coun- 
try was  ringing  with  alarms.  Three 
years  later,  in  Ji:G4,  while  the  war  was 
.still  ill  progress,  tlio  tirni  (if  I'ennoek 
Bros.  commeiice(l  business  on  Twelfth

]diia.  The  firm  was  coiniiosed  of  A.  L. 
I'enmxdv  and  .1.  L.  reniiock.  In  ]s7(>. 
the  centennial  xcar,  I'ennoek  Hros.  re 
moved  to  their  present  ijuarters  at  IT) I  I 
Cliestnut  street.  The  lot  was  the  same 
si/i'  then  as  now,  but  tiie  stnii'  and  con 
ser\atory  lia\'e  been  iinpro\ci|  an<l  re-

fornu'il  ni  \.  \j.  I'ennoek.  Thomas  ('art

I'ennocls.  Mr.  I'ennoek  continued  hi^ 
active  interest  in  tiie  tirin  ot'  i'ennoek 
Bros,  ami  in  his  greeiiioiti^es  at  Lans- 
downe  until  iSifJ,  Avhen  the  firm  of  ren- 
iiock JJros.  was  again  changed;  .lolin 
Wcstcott  withdrew  to  takc^  (diarge  of 
Ferguson's  Lamnd  Hill  Nurseries,  whi(di 
he  had  just  purchased,  and  Jlerbert  A, 
I'ennoek  I'etired  to  embark  in  business 
as  a  grower  in  l-'loriila.  The  limi  then 
consisted  of  Abraham  1..  reiiioick  and 
Thomas  Cartledge,  each  |iaitiier  brin- 
ing his  son  to  learn  the  business.  U])ou 
the  death  of  Mr.  <'artled-e,  in  TS98,  Mr. 
I'ennoek  withdrew  from  the  lirm  of 
i'ennoek  liros.,  whi.  h  from  tiiat  day  un-

Cartledge  and  .1.  Liddon  I'ennoek. 

^Ir.  I'ennoek  "s  ureate-t  tloriciilt ural 
achievement  lay  in  making  lily  of  tln^ 
\alley  into  an  every-da.\-in  the  year 
llower  through  the  employment  of  cold 
storage. 

Mr.  J'onnock  had  divided  his  time 
since  his  withdrawal  from  active  busi- 
ness between  .lupiter,  I'la.,  and  Lans- 
downe,  Pa.,  keeping  in  close  touch  with 
all  the  life  of  ludli  ]ilaces.

Results    l)riiig    advertising. 
The  Review  brings  results, 

"A  KOLT>iNG  stone  gatliers  no  moss," 
but  there  are  lots  of  florists  who  do  not  use 
moss  in  their  liusines-s. 

One  of  the  troubles  is  that  in  this  trade 
prices  are  made,  not  on  what  it  H'osts  to 
})ro(iuce  the  stock,  but  based  on  the  selling 
prices  of  other  people. 

It  is  not  too  late  to  plant  some  of  that 
surjdus  stock  on  your  own  grounds  and 
thus  convert  it  into  an  excellent  advertise- 
ment for  next  season. 

It  is  reported  that  Cincinnati  begonias 
liave  been  selling  unusually  well  and  cer- 
tain dealers  in  young  stock  say  they  are 
unable  to  supply  tlie  demand  for  ])lants 
wanted  for  Christmas  iiowering. 

Many  ])eople  have  noted  a  distinct  im- 
provement in  the  practice  of  the  trade  in 
tiie  i)ayment  of  bills;  one  by  one  florists 
are  acquiring  the  means  and  the  habit  of 
cleaning  up  all  outstanding  accounts  each 
month. 

TiiKRE  is  a  strong  and  rapidly  increas- 
ing demand  for  wind  storm  insurance  on 
greenhouses.  While  a  number  of  com- 
l)anies  write  storm  insurance,  their  re- 
(|uirements  are  so  severe  that  the  ordinary 
type  of  greenhouse  establishment  is  not 
acceptable. 

It  seems  clear  that  any  falling  off  in 
the  flower  buying  of  the  well-to-do  during 
the  war  will  be  fully  compensated  for  by 
the  increased  use  of  flowers  by  the  work- 
ing people,  whose  incomes  are  likely  to  be 
larger  and  steadier  than  ever  before.  The 
florists'  problem,  as  time  goes  on,  wiU 
become  one  of  production  rather  than  dis- 
tribution. 


PLEASE  NOTE. 

Each  week  a  number  of  letters  con- 
taining advertising  instructions  reach 
The  Review  while  the  paper  is  on  the 
press — Just  a  few  hours  earlier  and  they 
would  have  had  attention  a  week  sooner 
than  is  jjossible. 

It  is  the  aim  to  give  prompt  service, 
but  to  secure  it  advertisers  should  note: 
''It  is  impossible  to  guarantee  the  in- 
sertion, discontinuance  or  alteration  of 
any  advertisement  unless  instructions 
are  received  by  4  p.  m.  Tuesday. ' ' 


TRADINa  WITH  THE  ENEMY. 

Since  the  British  navy  blockaded 
Germany  it  has  been  a  more  or  less 
popular  pastime  with  the  trade  to  un- 
dertake, by  arrangement  with  someone 
in  Holland  or  in  Scandinavia,  to  obtain 
German  merchandise  by  indirection. 
Many  shipments  of  German  flower  seeds 
have  been  made  from  Holland  masquer- 
ading as  of  Dutch  origin.  The  same 
with  valley  pips  and  other  articles. 
Some  of  these  shipments  have  come 
through  safely,  but  many  have  been 
confiscated  by  the  British.  It  has  been 
a  good  game  because  the  American  did 
not  expect  to  pay  unless  he  received  the 
goods,  but  now  the  United  States  gov- 
ernment's preparing  to  take  a  hand  and 
a  term  in  prison  may  be  the  penalty 
which   will  follow  conviction. 

The  trading  with  the  enemy  bill  will 
be  the  last  of  the  great  war  measures 
Congress  will  consider,  but  in  advance 
of  its  passage  the  departments  are 
warning  American  merchants  to  avoid 
any  transaction  which  may  develop  un- 
expected responsibilities. 


THERE  IS  A  SURPLUS. 

Although  there  were  considerable 
quantities  of  surplus  geraniums  in  the 
east  at  the  close  of  the  1916  season,  it  is 
])r()bable  the  arrival  of  tlie  Fourth  of 
•July  never  has  caught  the  trade  the 
country  over  with  so  much  unsold  stock 
as  is  on  hand  today.  There  are  locali- 
ties in  which  practically  everything  has 
])een  sold,  and  there  are  individuals 
who  have  cleaned  out  ahead  of  their 
•neighl)ors,  but  the  majority  of  florists, 
especially  the  bedding  plant  specialists 
ill  the  cities,  have  more  unsold  stock 
than  ever  before  at  this  date. 

Usually  the  arrival  of  the  Fourth  is 
considered  as  marking  the  end  of  the 
bedding  plant  season.  Perhaps  it  may 
not  be  so  this  year,  because  the  season 
has  been  from  two  to  three  weeks  late 
from  the  start. 

The  oversupply  includes  almost  every- 
thing, but  consists  principally  of  gera- 
niums and  cannas.  Last  year  gerani- 
ums were  overdone  in  localities,  princi- 
])ally  in  the  east,  and  a  few  growers 
cut  down  on  them,  but  the  majority  felt 
that  last  year's  surpluses  were  only  the 
result  of  waiting  for  buyers  instead  of 
going  after  them  and  there  w^as  suffi- 
cient confidence  so  that  unusually  large 
stocks  were  worked  up  for  this  season. 

How  large  a  part  of  the  present  sur- 
plus is  due  to  increased  production, 
what  part  is  due  to  the  late,  cold  spring 
and  wet  Decoration  day,  what  part  is 
due  to  the  unsettlement  following  the 
declaration  of  war,  what  part  to  the 
tidal  wave  of  vegetable  planting  and 
what  part  to  the  average  florist's  dis- 
position to  await  rather  than  seek  the 
buyer,  it  is  difficult  to  determine,  but 
a  decision  would  not  alter  the  fact  that 
the  season  leaves  much  to  be  desired. 


At  the  start  there  was  a  fairly  well 
concerted  effort  to  get  better  prices, 
but  not  for  long.  It  did  not  take  many 
weeks  of  backward  conditions  to  con- 
vince some  of  th«  plantsmen  that  half 
a  loaf  is  better  tkan  no  bread  and 
prices  asked  became  more  irregular  than 
ever.  Especially  during  June  have 
values  shrunk.  The  continuous  rain  at 
Memorial  day,  in  many  localities,  hit 
the  plantsmen  hard — a  large  percentage 
of  the  sales  lost  at  that  time  are  gone 
for  the  year.  Consequently,  much  stock 
has  since  been  sold  below  the  cost  of 
production. 

The  outcome  is  especially  unfortunate 
because  the  trade  will  need  better  prices 
next  season  even  worse  than  it  has 
needed  them  this  year. 


THE  COST  OF  PRODUCTION. 

The  uncertainty  about  the  price  of 
coal  has  been  turned  into  a  certainty 
that  the  grower's  fuel  bill  will  be  about 
double  that  of  last  year,  by  the  action 
of  the  mine  operators  in  agreeing  to  a 
scale  of  maximum  prices  for  the  prod- 
ucts of  various  fields. 

Growers  now  can  begin  to  figure  what 
it  will  be  necessary  to  charge  for  stock 
to  make  up  for  the  increased  cost  of 
production.  Many  who  contract  for 
their  fuel  supply  have  already  done  so, 
while  others  were  uncertain  what  the 
increased  cost  in  their  establishments 
would  be.  It  is  certain,  however,  that 
this  fall  must  see  better  prices  for  the 
grower  if  he  is  to  realize  a  profit  on 
his  labor  and  investment. 

It  will  not  be  necessary,  perhaps,  to 
make  a  radical  increase  in  the  price  of 
stock.  What  increases  are  necessary 
can  easily  be  secured  from  the  flower 
buyer,  as  he  is  in  the  habit  of  paying 
more  for  everything  he  purchases.  Con- 
sequently the  same  margin  of  profit  will 
be  left  for  the  retailer  and  the  grower 
will  be  able  to  live  and  pay  his  coal 
bills. 


CHICAGO. 

The  Market. 

With  the  setting  in  of  warm  weather 
the  wholesale  cut  flower  market  has 
resigned  itself  to  the  regular  run  of 
summer  business.  Trading  last  week 
was  slow,  stock  plentiful  and  prices 
low.  A  slightly  improved  tone  was 
noted  June  30,  but  demand  was  not 
active  enough  to  clean  up  the  market 
for  the  week  end.  July  2  found  business 
even  a  little  better,  with  stock  gener- 
ally considerably  shorter,  but  demand 
was  lethargic  and  buyers'  prices  pre- 
vailed. 

American  Beauties  are  not  in  large 
supply,  but  there  are  enough  to  fill 
buyers'  needs.  There  is  some  good 
stock,  but,  on  the  whole,  quality  is  not 
good.  Other  varieties  of  roses  sold 
poorly,  although  the  quality,  consider- 
ing the  time  of  year,  is  fairly  good. 
Prices  were  low  and  large  numbers 
were  sold  for  nominal  returns.  Carna- 
tions also  move  poorly.  The  quality 
averages  poor,  although  some  good  stock 
is  arriving.    Their  season  is  almost  over. 

Even  valley  was  plentiful  last  week, 
but  sold  for  fair  prices.  Easter  lilies 
have  been  difficult  to  move,  but  a 
slightly  improved  demand  was  notice- 
able towards  the  last  days  of  the  week. 
The  supply  is  large.  Orchids  enjoy  the 
distinction  of  being  the  only  item  on

the  market  that  was  really  scarce  last 
week.  A  good  demand  easily  cleaned 
out  what  stock  arrived  and  prices  held 
up  well.  Stocks  sold  fairly  well.  There 
are  not  many  sweet  peas  to  be  found 
on  the  market,  the  season  being  nearly 
over.  There  are  plenty  of  gladioli  to 
fill  all  needs.  Daisies  have  been  selling 
slowly,  due,  in  a  large  measure,  to  the 
great  number  of  field  daisies  which 
may  be  seen. 

The  supply  of  peonies  has  shortened 
down  somewhat,  although  northern 
crops  are  coming  in  and  there  are  con- 
siderable quantities  still  in  cold  stor- 
age. They  sold  fairly  well  last  week. 
Outdoor  candytuft  is  commencing  to 
arrive,  but  is  moving  slowly.  Snap- 
dragons are  also  selling  poorly.  A  mod- 
erate supply  of  delphinium  is  arriving 
and  receives  a  fair  call. 

Greens  have  not  yet  become  normal- 
ly plentiful. 

June  Business. 

June  has  been  an  unusual  month  in 
this  market;  it  has  given  widely  vary- 
ing results  for  the  different  interests. 
In  a  retail  way,  there  have  been  fewer 
fashionable  weddings  than  usual  and 
they  have  called  for  less  elaborate 
floral  accessories.  This  has  cut  into  the 
business  of  some  of  the  best  retailers. 
On  the  other  hand,  funeral  work  has 
been  good,  transient  trade  in  the  me- 
dium class  stores  has  been  excellent 
and  outdoor  work  above  the  average 
for  June.  Consequently  some  retailers 
are  well  pleased,  especially  as  stock 
was  obtained  at  low  prices. 

Wholesalers  have  not  been  short  of 
stock.  There  has  been  a  large  turnover 
at  prices  that  were,  perhaps,  a  little 
below  the  usual  June  average.  Some 
houses  handled  considerably  more  stock 
than  last  year  and  thus  made  an  in- 
crease in  sales.  The  reverse  was  true 
of  others.  But  it  should  be  considered 
that  June  of  1916  was  unusually  good; 
to  equal  last  June  was  doing  well.  It 
was  noted  that  shipping  trade  to  the 
country  towns  was  excellent,  especially 
the  first  three  weeks  of  the  month. 

The  growers  fared  in  proportion  to 
their  production;  with  some  it  was  more 
than  a  year  ago,  with  others,  less. 


F,  T.  D.  Cut  Flower  Service  in  a  wholesale 
way  with  the  "Out-of-Town"  Retail  Florist

June  Weather. 

June  was  an  excellent  growing 
month,  both  in  the  field  and  under  glass. 
With  only  slight  interruptions,  the 
weather  remained  cool  during  the  entire 
month.  June  16  frost  was  observed, 
this  being  the  latest  in  the  spring  upon 
which  frost  has  ever  occurred  in  Chi- 
cago within  the  records  of  the  Weather 
Bureau.  The  highest  temperature  dur- 
ing the  month  was  86  degrees  June  26. 
Although  there  was  some  deficiency  in 
the  total  rainfall,  the  showers  were 
evenly  distributed  and  highly  beneficial 
to  growing  crops.  Most  of  the  rains 
occurred  during  thunder  storms,  and 
some  of  these  were  accompanied  by 
fresh  gales,  the  highest  wind  velocity 
being  fifty  miles  an  hour  June  12.  The 
percentage  of  sunshine  was  consider- 
ably   below    the    average,    being    only

ture  for  both  its  owners,  in  spite  of 
hard  work  and  capable  management. 

That  locally-grown  orchids  have  been 
the  best  property  on  the  market  during 
June  is  the  statement  of  11.  Van  Gelder, 
of  Percy  Jones,  Inc.,  who  says  even 
now,  with  eastern  orchids  to  be  had  in 
quantity,  the  call  for  local  stock  ex- 
ceeds the  supply. 

C.  J.  Michelsen  is  looking  for  an  un- 
usually good  summer  business  in  this 
market  this  year.  He  bases  his  belief 
on  the  decreased  production  of  garden 
flowers,  the  excellent  business  being 
done  in  the  cities  and  towns  that  draw 
on  Chicago,  and  the  fact  that  vacations 
will  consume  less  than  usual  of  people's 
time  and  money. 

The  Albany  Nurseries,  which  have 
been  operated  as  a  spring  catchpenny, 


on  Madison  street,  near  the  W.  W. 
Barnard  Co.,  has  closed  the  store.  It 
is  a  corporation  of  which  Charles  A. 
Meinersmann,  a  landscape  architect 
who  operates  two  retail  flower  stores,  is 
ostensibly  the  head,  but  it  is  said  the 
backing  was  by  Mr.  Lehmann,  of  the 
Fair.  Report  has  it  that  the  store  has 
done  $13,000  or  $14,000  of  business  in 
nursery  stock,  bedding  plants,  consign- 
ment seeds,  etc.,  in  the  three  months 
it  has  been  operated,  but  that  expenses 
have  been  so  high  there  has  not  been 
a  great  deal  of  profit  in  it. 

The  matter  of  coal  prices  being  to 
the  front  .just  now,  it  will  be  of  interest 
to  note  tliat  Peter  Reinberg,  Wietor 
Bros,  and  other  large  growers  in  the 
city,  who  feel  under  the  necessity  of 
using   smokeless   coal,   have    contracted 


for  their  season's  supply  of  Pocahon- 
tiis  at  $3  per  ton  at  the  mine,  as  against 
$1.35  last  year.  Transportation  will 
cost  $2.30,  making  the  fuel  cost  $5.30 
this  season,  compared  to  $3.50  last  sea- 
son. 

At  the  home  of  Charles  Erne  it  is  the 
rule  to  celebrate  the  centennial  of  the 
signing  of  the  Declaration  of  Inde- 
pendence— because  Mr.  Erne  arrived 
in  this  world  of  many  joys  July  4,  1876. 

George  Wienhoeber,  who  now  has 
been  in  business  for  himself  two  years 
and  a  half,  says  May  and  June  have 
been  excellent  months,  from  one-third 
to  one-half  better  than  last  year. 

At  Winterson's  Seed  Store  it  is  said 
the  cut  flower  business  has  been  remark- 
ably  steady  this  season.   The   sales   of

nursery  stock  have  been  far  below  nor- 
mal because  of  the  loss  of  the  wholesale 
business  in  imported  stocks,  but  the 
retail  sales  of  vegetable  seeds  have 
been  the  largest  ever  done  and,  of 
course,  the  margin  of  profit  on  the  lat- 
ter is  much   the  best. 

The  monthly  meeting  of  the  Chicago 
Florists'  dub  will  be  held  at  the  Briggs 
House,  corner  Eandolph  street  and  Fifth 
avenue,  .July  5,  at  8  p.  m. 

John  Fuhrmann  and  his  ]. 3-year-old 
daughter,  who  were  severely  injured 
while  motoring  in  Michigan  June  24, 
are  doing  nicely  in  the  north  side  hos- 
pital to  which  they  were  removed  after 
the  accident  and  their  complete  recovery 
is  ex])ected.  The  machine  overturned  into 
a  ditch,  burying  the  occupants  under- 
neath. Mr.  Fuhrmann  sustained  severe 
injuries  to  his  spine,  as  well  as  to  his 
leg.s  and  stomach.  His  daughter's  stom- 
ach was  crushed,  the  younger  son  was 
severely  bruised,  as  was  the  elder,  who 
was,  however,  the  only  one  able  to  get 
around  and  lend  assistance  to  the 
others.  Tlie  injured  were  taken  to  a  lo- 
cal hotel,  but  facilities  were  inadequate 
and  hearing  that  a  limited  train  to  Chi- 
cago would  pass  through  in  an  hour,  the 
elder  son  decided  to  flag  it.  This  he 
did  and  the  in:iurcd  were  loaded  into  the 
baggage  car  on  the  beds  which  they  had 
occupied  in  the  hotel.  They  were  met 
by  ambulances  when  the  train  reached 
the  city. 

A.  Lange  and  family  believe  in  the 
recreative  value  of  picnics.  July  1  was 
spent  at  Ninety-first  and  Robey  streets 
on    such    an    outing. 

The  annual  stockholders'  meeting  of 
the  Chicago  Flower  Growers'  Associa- 
tion will  be  held  at  the  company's  of- 
fice, 182  North  Wabash  avenue,  July  16.

Philip  Schupp,  of  .T.  A.  Budlong's, 
and  Mrs.  Schui)p  spent  the  week  end 
at  their  summer  home  at  Lake  Geneva, 
Wis. 

J.  E.  Pollworth,  of  Kennicott  Bros. 
Co.,  left  on  his  vacation  June  28.  He 
expects  to  be  away  about  two  weeks. 

G.  M.  Eeburn  has  gone  on  the  road 
for  a  trip  of  five  or  six  weeks. 

K.  N.  Cooper,  manager  of  the  Au- 
burndale  Goldfish  Co.,  returned  last 
week  from  an  absence  of  six  weeks  in 
the    west,    caused    by    the    illness    and 


death  of  a  brother.  The  business  in 
goldfish  is  said  to  have  been  excellent 
this  season,  but  it  always  is  at  a  stand- 
still during  the  hot  months. 

June  29  was  the  silver  wedding  anni- 
versary at  the  home  of  P.  J.  Foley  and 
Mrs.  Foley.  It  was  appropriately  ob- 
served. 

With  the  metal  market  more  prob- 
lematical than  ever,  Kroeschell  Bros. 
Co.  considers  itself  fortunate  in  hav- 
ing all  its  manufacturing  material  pro- 
vided for  this  year's  business.

MILWAUKEE. 


The  Market. 


There  has  been  a  surfeit  of  rain  dur- 
ing the  last  week.  This,  of  course,  has 
made  cool  weather  the  usual  thing  and, 
while  there  were  two  hot  days,  stock  in 
general  is  still  in  fair  shape. 

The  effects  of  the  cloudburst  of  Fri- 
day, June  22,  are  still  felt,  as  the  wash- 
outs on  the  railroad  tracks  at  the  west 
end  of  the  city  make  the  arrival  of  in- 
coming trains  more  or  less  of  a  problem. 

On  account  of  the  cool,  cloudy 
weather,  peonies  are  just  about  at  the 
height  of  their  season,  whereas  they 
should  be  a  thing  of  the  past  by  this 
time  under  conditions  of  previous  years. 
Sweet  peas  are  still  arriving  in  quan- 
tity, although  the  quality  is  poor  and 
the  end  of  the  cut  cannot  be  far  off. 
This  stock  is  moving,  but  the  prices 
realized  are  low.  Carnations  are  be- 
coming softer  daily  and  the  deteriora- 
tion is  quite  marked  when  they  are 
compared  with  the  stock  of  a  few 
weeks  ago.  Good  stock  is  moving  fairly 
well  and  is  bringing  fair  prices,  but  the 
medium  stock  is  not  clearing,  even  in 
bargain  lots. 

Eoses  are  good  and  the  supply  is 
more  than  adequate.  Of  course,  when 
the  supply  is  large  the  long,  fancy  stock 
Buffers  most,  as  it  does  not  find  such  a 
ready  market  as  the  shorter  grades,  and 
proportionate  prices  are  not  so  good  as 
when  stock  is  somewhat  scarce.  Eus- 
sell  roses  are  having  a  good  sale  and  the

cut,  which  is  fairly  large,  is  being  dis- 
posed of  without  the  difficulty  expe- 
rienced in  moving  other  stock.  Orchids 
are  plentiful  and  in  fine  form.  The  de- 
mand is  not  strong,  but  there  is  little 
or  no  surplus  and  the  prices  range  from 
$6  to  $7.50  per  dozen  for  good  stock. 
Lilies  are  extremely  plentiful  and  it  is 
impossible  to  handle  the  cut  with  any 
degree  of  satisfaction.  Valley  is  in 
good  condition  and  moves  well. 

On  account  of  the  lateness  of  the  sea- 
son this  year,  planting  goes  merrily  on. 
It  is  a  question,  however,  whether 
the  work  will  keep  up  long  enough  to 
offset  the  weeks  when  nothing  in  this 
line  could  be  done.

Much  funeral   work   toward   the   end 

of    the    week    helped    wonderfully    and 
kept  the  business  well  up  to  the  mark 
set  last  year.    It  is  to  be  expected,  how- 
ever, that  there  will  be  a  marked  drop 
during  the  next  few  weeks. 

Various  Notes. 

Miss  Gretchen  Baumgarten,  who  has 
been  ill  for  about  six  weeks,  is  reported 
to  be  somewhat  better,  thougli  still  in  a 
precarious  condition.     Physicians  state 
that  her  convalescence  will  be  slow  and, 
while  she  may  be  able  to  be  up  in   a 
short  time,  it  will  be  almost  a  year  be- 
fore  she   will   liave   entirely   recovered. 
We  are  glad,  indeed,  to  be  able  to  re- 
port  some  progress  in  the  right  direc- 
tion.

The  Market. 

Poor  flowers  predominate  in  the  cut 
flower  market.    There  is  a  great  deal  of 
trash  that  is  worthless.     Put  this  aside 
and  the  market  is  reduced  to  a  moderate

supply  of  flowers,  which  are  in  active 
demand   at  fair  summer  prices.     These 
flowers  include  a  few  varieties  of  roses, 
Easter    lilies,    gladioli    and    extremely 
few  orchids.    Valley  is  obtainable,  but 
there    are    signs    that    the   growers    are 
saving  their  pips  for  the  fall  and  winter. 
Sweet     peas     are     not     warm     weather 
flowers,  few  as  they  are.     Delphinium 
has  been  in  oversupply. 

There   are   only   two   carnations   that 
the  buyers  want,  Mrs.  C.  W.  Ward  and 
Matchless.     They  stand  the  heat  when 
well  grown;   the  older  varieties  seldom 
do.      A    few    early    asters    have    come, 
mostly    pink    and    white.     White    roses 
have  fallen  short   of  the   demand,  but 

small  white  flowers,  such  as  candytuft 
and  feverfew,  have  been  in  heavy  sup- 
ply, with  many  remaining  over. 

The  month  of  June  has  shown  enor- 
mous receipts,  low  prices  and  a   large 
total  in  dollars  and  cents.     The  outlook 
for   July   is   that    the    receipts   will    be 
light.     Outdoor  gladioli  from  the  south 
now    are    competing    with    the    green- 
house-grown   stock.     Oold    storage   peo- 
nies do  not  meet  with  much  favor. 

The  Button  System. 

An  interesting  feature  of  the  Amer- 
ican Association  of  Nurserymen's  con- 
vention in  the  Adelphia  hotel  last  week 

was  the  organization's  button  for  iden- 
tification. By  its  aid  a  member  could  tell 
at  a  glance    what    nursery    any    other 
member  represented.    For  instance,  the 
man  on  the  other  side  of  the  room,  that 
tall,  fine-looking  man,  wears   a  button 
on  his   coat  lapel   numbered  104.     The 
catalogue  shows  that  nurnber  to  be  the 
property  of  the  North  Abington  Nurs- 
ery Co.,  North  Abington,  Mass.,  while 
further     aid    from     the    same    service 
shows   that  the   other  man    talking  to 
him    represents    the    J.     Van     Lindley 
Nursery  Co.,  of  Pomona,  N.  C,  no  less 
a    personage    than    Paul    Van    Lindley 
himself.

An  Object  Lesson. 

There  is  a  beautiful  garden  in  this 
city  that  affords  pleasure  to  everyone 
who  sees  it.  I  never  see  it  without  ex- 
periencing a  sense  of  being  the  better 
for  the  sight.  It  is  a  small,  perfectly 
plain  garden.  There  is  a  square  grass 
plot  on  the  right  and  one  on  the  left  off 
a  path  that  leads  from  the  top  of  a  flight 
of  steps  to  the  house.  The  center  of 
each  plot  is  filled  by  a  flower  bed. 
Along  the  front  of  the  vine-covered 
house  is  another  flower  bed.  That 
is  all;  yet  the  effect  is  so  fresh  and 
pretty,  an  effect  that  is  heightened  by 
the  city  surroundings,  that  I  often  re- 
call it  with  pleasure. 

Particularly  does  it  come  to  mind 
when  some  brother  florist  complains  of

the  war's  effect  on  business,  one  who 
does  not  try  and  whose  place  shows  that 
he  is  not  trying.  Then  that  garden 
comes  to  mind,  and  I  think  that  the  man 
who  planted  that  garden  with  its  rich 
crotonsand  draca^nas,i,tssoft  green  ferns 
and  its  bright-hued  and  its  variegated- 
leaved  geraniums,  had  courage  and  was 
going  right  ahead  playing  the  game. 
You  have  guessed  whose  garden  it  is? 
Of  course  you  have.     Everybody  knows 


the  garden  in  front  of  Robert  A.  Craig's 
and  everybody  is  the  better  for  knowing 
it. 

Various  Notes. 

Arthur  A.  Niessen  believes  that  the 
June  business  in  cut  flowers  has  been 
heavy,  fully  equal  to  anything  past. 
This  was  made  possible  by  the  great 
quantity  of  flowers.

of  Baltimore.  This  week  I  am  going  to 
tell  something  of  one  which,  while  not 
so  old,  has  played  an  important  part 
in  the  progress  of  the  florists'  business 
of  our  city.  There  were  just  four 
stores  in  the  city,  those  of  Halliday, 
Feast,  Cook  and  Pentland,  when  the 
business  now  conducted  by  Mary  John- 
ston was  founded  by  her  father,  the 
late  Robert  Paterson. 

A  boy  of  18,  Robert  Paterson  arrived 
in  this  country  in  1857  from  Scotland, 
where  he  had  received  a  thorough  train- 
ing in  the  greenhouses  on  the  estate  of 
the  Earl  of  Minta.  His  first  position 
in  this  country  was  with  his  uncle,  who 
at  that  time  was  gardener  for  Johns 
Hopkins,  on  what  is  today  Clifton  park. 
In  1859  he  secured  his  first  private 
l)lace,  that  of  General  Tyson,  of  How- 
ard countv.     There  he  met  and  married

liable  lean-to  of  those  days;  yet  there 
was  plenty  of  work  for  each  child  to  do. 

When  Hayes  Was  President. 

In  those  days  the  only  place  where 
one  could  dispose  of  one's  product  was 
the  markets,  and  here  the  stall  of  Eob- 
ert  Paterson  was  open  throughout  the 
year.  After  the  spring  rush  with  plants, 
one  of  the  children  would  go  out  every 
market  day  with  the  cheaper  funeral  de- 
signs, and  at  Christmas  with  immor- 
telles, wreathing  and  the  like.  The 
efforts  of  the  six  children,  coupled  with 
the  practical  knowledge  of  the  father, 
soon  began  to  tell,  and  in  1878  a  store 
was  procured  at  221  West  Madison 
street,  part  of  the  site  of  which  now  is 
occupied  by  the  present  store;  and 
Mary  Paterson,  now  Mrs.  Mary  John- 
ston, after  a  year's  training  in  the 
store  of  Kobert  J.  Halliday,  was  in- 
stalled as  its  manager.  She  was  then 
16  years  of  age,  and  has  been  at  the 
helm  ever  since.  She  has  seen  the 
business  grow  under  her  careful  man- 
agement from  the  little  store  that  each 
day  disposed  of  the  output  of  her  fa- 
ther's greenhouses  to  what  was  de- 
scribed last  winter  by  one  of  the  Sun- 
day papers  as  "one  of  the  most  fash- 
ionable and  prosperous  florists'  busi- 
nesses in  the  city."  The  newspaper 
writer  described  the  phenomenal  suc- 
cess of  the  business,  and  ascribed  this 
success  to  the  personality  of  its  pro- 
prietor— "Everyone  isn't  born  with 
the  clever  fingers  and  the  seeing  eye, 
and  everyone  is  not  born  with  the  ca- 
pacity for  hard,  unremitting  labor. ' ' 

"There's  a  Reason." 

Mary  Johnston  possesses  the  "clever 
fingers  and  the  seeing  eye,*^'  and  there 
is  no  one  who  knows  better  than  the 
writer  that  there  is  not  a  qualification  a 
florist  should  possess  that  is  not  nat- 
ural with  her.  Her  business,  through

BOSTON. 

The  Market. 

Midsummer  dullness  reigns  in  cut 
flower  circles.  There  is  a  fair  amount 
of  business  transacted,  but  prices  are 
low.  In  spite  of  the  recent  warmer 
weather,  the  quality  remains  remark- 
ably good.  For  American  Beauty  roses 
there  is  little  call.  In  hybrid  teas  the  red 
and  deep  pink  varieties  have  sold  the 
best,  with  a  fair  demand  for  Ward, 
Kaiserin  and  Double  White  Killarney. 
Outdoor  Jacqueminot,  Brunner  and 
other  hybrid  perpetuals  are  now  com- 
ing in,  but  are  late  this  year  for  wed- 
dings and  graduations,  and  as  a  result 
prices  are  low.  Carnations  are  abun- 
dant and  so  far  pretty  free  from  red 
spider,  but  prices  are  low,  all  the  way 
from  25  cents  to  $2  per  hundred.  Out- 
door sweet  peas  now  are  arriving  and 
are  of  better  quality  and  color  than  the 
premature  product. 

Until  this  week  yellow  marguerites 
sold  well.  Sweet  sultans  are  at  present 
in  favor.  Peonies  are  in  heavy  supply, 
but  prices  average  only  one-half  of 
those  of  a  year  ago,  due  to  the  crop 
coming  so  late.  Larkspurs,  Spanish 
irises,  sweet  williams  and  other  outdoor 
stock  are  used  for  window  decorations. 
Liliums  are  not  selling  well.  Valley 
now  is  of  poor  quality.  Pansies  are 
done  for  the  season.  Cattleyas  are 
shortening  up.  The  demand  for  aspara- 
gus and  ferns  is  light.  Bedding  plant 
trade  continues,  but  has  fallen  below 
expectations. 

Various  Notes. 

The  officers  and  executive  board  of 
the  American  Sweet  Pea  Society  de- 
cided, after  hearing  reports  from  New- 
port, Bar  Harbor,  Lenox  and  other 
sweet  pea  centers,  not  to  postpone  the 
convention  and  exhibition  to  be  held  in 
Boston  July  7  and  8.  While  a  week 
later  would  have   been  better  for  this

iams  and  sweet  peas.  Of  the  latter 
King  White  is  especially  good.  The 
firm  is  finishing  a  successful  pansy  sea- 
son, being  a  leading  specialist  in  these 
flowers.  This  week  the  firm  is  harvest- 
ing the  seed  crop  and  will  make  savings 
at  once  for  flowering  next  fall  under 
glass. 

R.  A.  Hatch,  of  Cliftondale,  has  done

The  nursery  and  seed  store  employees

ket street  will  not  be  opened  that  day. 
Seed  business  has  broken  all  records 
there  this  season  and  the  call  for  vege- 
table plants  has  been  and  still  is  phe- 
nomenal. 

Frank  Edgar,  of  Waverley,  has  more 
than  1,000  plants  of  Paionia  officinalis 
rubra  and  says  tnat  it  pays  far  the  best 
of  any  variety  he  grows.  Mr.  Edgar 
has  had  a  good  call  for  young  stock  of 
poinsettias  and  begonias  and  is  now 
busy  potting  up  stock  of  the  latter  for 
fall  sales. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  William  Penn  left  June

has  enlisted  and  expects  to  be  called 
soon.  A.  Daniels  has  joined  the  Har- 
vard medical  unit  and  soon  will  leave 
for  the  base  hospital  in  France.  June 
business  in  weddings  has  been  splendid 
and  several  orders  have  been  booked 
for  July. 

The  finest  carnations  now  coming  to 
the  market  are  the  new  rare  pink  Albert 
Koper  from  the  Roper  Estate,  Tewks- 
bury.  These  carnations  seem  to  be  just 
as  fine  in  hot  as  cold  weather  and  realize 
top  prices  here. 

Henry  E.  Comley  at  his  Park  street 
store  is  showing  some  nice  pans  of 
aehimenes  and  gloxinias.  He  reports 
that  June  business  was  satisfactory. 

W.  J.  Thurston,  manager  of  the 
Flower  Exchange,  leaves  July  9  for  a

Matthew  Siegcl  and  A.  Flick,  of  Mc-

at  the  Otisfield  Club  hall,  Roxbury,  June 
128.     Siegel's  table  won  handsomely. 

The  committee  on  the  annual  Gar- 
deners' and  Florists'  Club  Picnic,  to  be 
held  at  Cunningham  park,  East  Milton, 
July  25,  is  busy  on  details  connected

ter  are  cutting  a  fine  crop  of  hybrid 
perpetual  roses.  The  management  re- 
ports satisfactory  business  for  the 
month  of  June. 

S.  J.  Goddard  started  planting  his 
carnation  houses  this  week.  Stock  has 
made  splendid  growth  iu  the  field. 

Nine  young  men  from  the  R.  &  J. 
Farquhar  &  Co.  seed  store  and  nurseries 
have  enlisted. 

Eecent  visitors  here  included  B.  H. 
Farr,  of  Wyomissing,  Pa.,  and  William 
Gray,  of  Newport,  R.  I.,  who  attended 
the  recent  peony  exhibition, 

James  Wheeler  has  a  sjilendid  field  of 
Queen  of  the  Market  asters  and  his  car- 
nation stock  looks  excellent.  He  still 
is  cutting  fine  marguerites  and  carna-

The  Market. 

The  clean-up  June  30  was  all  that  had 
been  expected,  and  more.  Prices  for 
everything  but  valley  were  low,  but 
there  were  no  unusual  sacrifices.  Good 
valley  was  scarce  and  about  any  price 
asked  could  be  had.  The  price  of  longi- 
llorum  lilies  was  firmer  and  some 
select  flowers  brought  more  than 
$3  per  hundred.  The  accumulations 
of  the  week,  however,  were  dis- 
posed of  at  from  $1  to  $2  per  hundred. 

The  orchid  supply  is  more  than  suf- 
ficient for  the  demand.  Some  special 
gigas  touched  50  cents  each,  but  from 
40  cents  downward  were  the  general 
quotations.  The  quality  is  excellent, 
but  the  retail  requirements  were  light 
and  dinner  and  funeral  demands  smaller 
than  usual. 

Shipments  of  carnations  continue 
larger  than  usual  at  this  time  of  the 
year,  but  another  week  or  ten  days  will 
find  the  old  plants  eliminated  and  the 
receipts  much  lighter.  Prices  were  low, 
the  best  stock  not  bringing  more  than 
$1.50  per  hundred.  A  great  deal  of  the 
stock  was  sleepy  and  sold  at  50  cents 
per  hundred  and  under. 

Apart  from  the  cold  storage  stock, 
the  peony  season  is  over.     Some  of  the

best  of  the  late  arrivals  brought  as  high 
as  $2  per  dozen.  Asters  are  arriving 
freely  and  everybody  seems  to  have 
been  growing  delphinium  this  year. 

The  rose  shipments  continue  heavy. 
Some  fair  stock  of  American  Beauties 
is  received,  prices  for  the  best  averag- 
ing about  $15  per  hundred.  The  heat  is 
affecting  the  smaller  roses  and  the 
sliort-stemmed  arrivals  sold  at  from 
$2.50  to  $5  per  thousand.  Rambler 
branches  are  here  in  great  numbers  and 
the  outdoor  rose  season,  wliich  was  re- 
tarded by  the  cold  weather,  is  at  its 
height. 

For  the  other  seasonable  flowers  there 
is  but  a  light  demand  and  for  fever- 
few and  sweet  william  there  is  none  at 
all.  There  is  an  adequate  supply  of 
sweet  peas,  daisies,  stocks,  coreopsis, 
gladioli,  calendulas  and  gypsophilas. 

July  1  sixty  wholesale  cut  flower 
houses  closed  their  doors,  many  of  them 
for  the  first  time  in  more  than  a  quarter 
of  a  century.  The  Sunday  closing  seems 
to  have  been  accomplished  With  unani- 
mous consent  and  without  harm  to  the 
business. 

Various  Notes. 

July  9  a  special  meeting  of  the  Xew 
York  Florists'  Club  will  be  held  at  its 
rooms  in  the  Grand  Opera  House  build- 
ing, Twenty-tliird  street  and  Eighth 
avenue.  Tlie  meeting  will  be  of  impor- 
tance because  of  the  coming  S.  A.  F. 
convention,  now  but  six  weeks  distant. 
Everything  now  presages  a  large  at- 
tendance. 

George  W.  Crawbuck  's  family  is 
spending  the  summer  at  their  home  in 
East  Quogue,  L.  I.  Mr.  Crawbuck  goes 
there  for  his  week  ends. 

The  war  is  likely  to  thin  out  seriously 
the  helpers  in  the  stores,  wholesale  and 
retail. 

H.  Riedel  will  be  on  jury  duty  in  the 
Court  of  General  Sessions  during  July. 

A.  Bowker,  with  Riedel  &  Meyer,  has 
joined  the  Sixty-ninth  regiment. 

Charles  Carlin  has  recovered  his 
health  and  was  in  the  wholesale  district 
June  30.

D.  J.  Pappas,  president  of  the  United 
Cut  Flower  Co.,  is  greatly  interested  in 
thf>  success  of  the  eleventh  annual  out- 
ing of  the  Greek-American  Florists' 
Association,  to  be  held  next  "Wednes- 
day, -fuly  11.  The  steamer  Ajax  has 
been  engaged  for  the  trip  to  Witzel's 
and  will  leave  the  foot  of  East  Twen- 
ty-thir<1  street  at  10:30  a.  m.  The  com- 
mittee of  arrangements  has  made  elab- 
orate preparations  for  a  good  old  time 
for  the  members  and  guests  and  many 
will  attend  because  the  Florists'  Club 
has  omitted  its  outing. 

The  Horticultural  Society  of  New 
York  will  hold  an  exhibition  Saturday 
and  Sunday,  July  14  and  15,  in  the 
Museum  building.  New  York  Botanical 
Garden,  Bronx  park.  Prizes  are  offered 
for  hardy  roses,  flowers  of  herbaceous 
plants  and  those  of  shrubs  and  trees, 
Japanese  irises  and  other  plants;  also 
for  vegetables.  These  shows  attract 
some  of  the  private  gardeners  and 
a  few  who  seek  gardeners'  trade,  but 
not  manv  florists. 


ST.   LOUIS. 


The  Market. 

Business  at  the  wholesale  houses, 
considering  the  time  of  the  year,  has 
kept  up  well.  There  seems  to  be  plenty 
of  stock,  save  that  the  fancy  grades  are 
none  too  plentiful.  Now  that  weddings, 
graduations  and  other  factors  that  cre- 
ate a  demand  are  over,  business  may 
be  expected  to  revert  to  summer's  dull-, 
ness.  Many  of  the  flower  buyers  have 
packed  and  gone  north  to  summer  re- 
sorts, and  about  the  only  _  thing  left 
for  the  retailers  is  funeral  work. 

The  wholesalers  expect  stock  to  be 
scarce  from  now  on,  as  the  growers 
have  commenced  to  pull  out  the  old 
stock  and  the  field  stock  has  suffered  a 
great  deal  of  late  for  the  want  of  a 
good,  drenching  rain.  A  few  gladioli 
are   arriving   from   the   field   and   meet

with  a  good  demand,  the  leading  sellers 
being  America,  King,  Pink  Beauty  and 
Augusta.  These  featured  the  market 
last  week  at  $4  per  hundred  for  the 
best  quality.  Unless  good  rains  arrive 
the  outdoor  crop  of  sweet  peas  will 
amount   to   little. 

Carnations  and  roses  plainly  show  the 
effects  of  the  hot  weather  and  excel- 
lent blooms  of  these  are  hard  to  find 
at  present.  Shasta  daisies  are  arriving 
in  fine  form  and  sell  well.  Easter  lilies 
are  not  any  too  plentiful  and  the  price 
is  up  to  $8  per  hundred.  Many  outdoor 
flowers  are  offered,  but  their  sale  is 
only  fair.  Ferns  and  asparagus  sell 
well. 

Various   Notes. 

The  St.  Louis  Florists'  Club's  annual 
picnic,  July  26,  promises  to  be  the  best 
and  largest  ever  held  by  the  club.  One 
of  the  big  features  this  year  will  be 
a  parade  of  decorated  automobiles  car- 
rying   the    picnickers    to    the    grounds.

The  parade  will  form  in  the  wholesale 
district  and  the  line  of  march  will  ex- 
tend to  the  downtown  business  section 
and  then  to  Eamona  park.  This  part 
of  the  program  is  in  the  hands  of  W. 
C.  Smith  and  Frank  A.  Windier.  Spe- 
cial prizes  for  the  various  contests  are 
coming  in  daily  and  anyone  wishing  to 
post  prizes  should  do  so  at  once. 

The  annual  meeting  of  the  Missouri 
State  Florists'  Association  will  be  held 
sometime  next  month  at  Columbia, 
Mo.  Secretary  W.  S.  Wells  says  that 
all  members  will  receive  notification  of 
the  date  in  due  time.  Much  important 
matter  is  up  for  this  meeting  and  a 
large   attendance  is  looked   for. 

The  early  closing*  of  the  wholesale 
houses  has  gone  into  effect  and  the 
trade  is  buying  earlier  in  the  day.  The 
retailers  are  in  sympathy  with  the 
movement. 

August  Hummert,  vice-president  of 
the  St.  Louis  Seed  Co.,  says  that  he 
never  saw  business  keep  up  so  well  as 
it  has  this  year.  The  large  force  put 
on  early  in  tlie  season  is  still  busy.  In- 
ventory was  begun  this  Aveek. 

John  S.  Carter,  head  of  the  Xicotine 
Mfg.  Co.,  says  his  men  are  working 
overtime  to  catch  up  with  orders.  Never 
before  has  there  been  such  a  demand 
for  nicotine  extracts  as  this   year. 

George  Schmidt,  rose  grower  for  "W. 
J.  Pilcher,  of  Kirkwood,  has  had  great 
success  this  season  with  Hadley  and 
Kussell,  the  latter  being  the  finest  ever 
seen  on  this  market.  The  W.  C.  Smith 
Wholesale  Floral  Co.  handles  the  stock 
with   great   success.

Co.  held  its  annual  stockholders'  meet-

Seed  Trade  News 

AMERICAN  SEED   TRADE  ASSOCIATION. 

President,  F.  W.  Bolgiano,  Washington,  D.  C. ; 
Secretary-Treasurer,   C.   E.  Kendel,  Cleveland,  O. 

Wisconsin  peas  are  in  excellent  condi- 
tion and  a  fine  crop  is  expected. 

Nasturtium  is  one  of  the  items  on 
which  the  American  seed  trade  is  likely 
soon  to  become  self-reliant. 

The  growing  season  is  late  practically 
everywhere,  but  most  seed  crops  look 
fairly  well  and  promise  at  least  moder- 
ately well. 

The  Chicago  onion  set  crop  looks  fa- 
vorable at  the  present  time,  although  still 
a  little  backward.  With  good  weather 
from  now  on  a  fair  crop  is  expected. 

How  long  will  the  supply  of  valley 
pips  last?  In  spite  of  decreased  use  of 
cut  valley  this  season,  most  forcers  are 
within  sight  of  the  end  of  their  resources. 

The  large  attendance  at  last  month's 
seed  trade  convention  was  the  result  of 
many  houses  sending  an  unusual  number 
of  representatives.  Several  members  wore 
represented  by  three  or  four  men,  while 
one  of  the  concerns  seeking  seedsmen 's 
patronage  had  as  many  as  seven  solicitors. 

The  California  growers  say  the  hot 
weather  recently  experienced  has  had  a 
further  unfavorable  effect  on  the  radish 
crop.  With  reduced  imports  from  France, 
it  looks  as  though  a  surplus  of  radish  will 
be  good  property  next  season.  The  im- 
ports in  the  six  months  ended  December 
31,  1916,  were  only  41,92.3  pounds,  against 
309,417  pounds  in  the  year  ending  June 
30,  1916, 


VOLUNTARY  SEED  CONTROL, 

[An  oxtrnrt  from  an  address  by  George  11. 
Clark.  Canadian  seed  commissioner,  before  tlie 
American  Seed  Trade  Association  at  Detroit, 
June  20.] 

Seed  control,  whether  voluntary  or 
enforced  by  law,  presupposes  a  condi- 
tion in  the  commerce  of  seeds  that  is  in 
need  of  regulation  in  the  interests  of 
agriculture  and  horticulture,  or  of  the 
trade  itself.  Seed  control  is  now  gen- 
erally considered  to  be  necessary  in 
most  agricultural  countries  as  a  means 
of  self-protection,  because  countries 
that  are  without  seed  control  may  eas- 
ily become  the  dumping  ground  for 
seeds  of  a  quality  that  may  not  be 
marketed  in  those  countries  where  the 
seed  trade  is  subject  to  regulation. 

The  European  System. 

In  the  older  countries  of  Europe  vol- 
untary eyetems  of  seed  control  grew  out

A  Big  Demand  for  Pansy  Plants 
is  Looked  for  Next  Spring 

It  is  expected  that  our  American  people  will 
follow  the  beautiful  custom  of  our  European  allies, 
who  wear  pansies  to  show  that  they  have  friends 
in  active  service.    This  will  mean  a  big  demand. 

Toole's  Pansy  Seed  is 
Carefully  Grown 

For  35  years  we  have  been  growing  high  qual- 
ity Pansy  Seed^    Toole's  Giant  Prize  Strain  is 

the  result  of  our  painstaking  labors.  The  flowers 
are  large,  well  formed,  with  pronounced  color 
markings. 

Packet,  20c;  Trade  packet  of  1000  seeds,  40c; 
^  ounce,  90c;  %  ounce,  $1.25;  1  ounce,  $5.00. 

This  superb  strain  can  also  be  supplied  in 
special  separate  color  mixtures  of  Blues,  Black, 
Browns,  Reds,  Yellows,  White,  Fancy-edged  Sorts 
and  Masterpiece  at  the  same  price.

stead  of  the  slower  process  of  educa- 
tion that  would  naturally  precede  vol- 
untary seed  control  systems. 

In  looking  to  future  developments 
in  the  commerce  of  seeds,  members  of 
the  American  Seed  Trade  Association 
would  do  well  to  carefully  consider 
whether  they  may  be  of  greatest  serv- 
ice to  themselves,  their  fellows  and 
their  country  by  devoting  their  ener- 
gies toward  obstructing  the  natural 
trend  of  the  times,  or,  on  the  contrary, 
to  move  in  advance  and  help  to  mold 
public  opinion  along  lines  that  may 
generally  be  recognized  as  being  in  tlie 
best  interests  of  all. 

Two  Kinds  of  Men. 

The  need  for  legislation  to  regulate 
the  commerce  of  seeds  would  probably 
not  have  existed  had  the  trade  in  seeds 
been  confined  to  persons  who  would 
be  accepted  as  members  in  this  asso- 
ciation. I  understand  that  good  busi- 
ness morals  is  the  first  qualification 
on  the  part  of  applicants  for  member- 
ship. It  is  well  to  recognize,  however, 
that  jobbing  in  the  seed  trade  has 
been  and  probably  will  continue  to  be 
the  privilege  of  people  whose  first  in- 
terest is  not  always  the  jiroi^er  pro- 
tection  of  agriculture. 

It  was  at  first  a  source  of  some  dis- 
appointment and  worry  to  me  when, 
at  the  commencement  of  our  efforts  to- 
ward seed  control  in  Canada,  I  seemed 
to  be  unable  to  convince  a  few  of  our 
good  seedsmen  that  a  proper  measure 
of  seed  control  was  as  much  in  their 
best  interests  as  for  the  protection  of 
agriculture.   After  twelve  years   of   ex-

22.  GIANT  KENILWORTH  STRAIN.  The  flowers  are  of  perfect  form 
and  substance;  many  of  the  immense  flowers  are  from  3\^-  to  4-1n. 
It  is  a  striking  collection  of  beautiful  colors  and  markings,  rich 
with  shades  of  red,  brown,  bronze,  mahogany  and  many  others  too 
numerous  to  mention.     Light,   Medium  or  Dark  Mixtures. 

GIANT  KENILWORTH  SHOW.  An  extra  fine  strain  of  large  flowers; 
the  immense  flowers  are  of  circular  form  and  great  substance.  A 
beautiful  collection  of  colors  and  markings. 

GIANT  KENILWORTH  CUT  IXOWER  MIXTURE.  Is  a  distinct  class 
by  Itself,  surpassing  all  other  strains  as  a  cut  flower  for  inside  or 
outside  growing;  the  large  flowers  are  carried  erect  above  the 
foliage  on  heavy  stems,  7  or  8  in.  long,  'In  the  most  graceful  man- 
ner, and  stand  the  hot,  dry  weather  well. 

GIANT  MASTERPIECE.  A  remarkable  type;  the  curled,  wavy  petals 
giving  the  flower  a  double  appearance;  large  flowers  of  great  sub- 
stance, on  long,  strong  stem. 

80.  GIANT  THREE  AND  MVE  BLOTCHED  PANSIES.  A  superb  mix- 
ture. Flowers  large  and  of  circular  form  and  of  great  substance. 
The  display  of  coloring  is  unsurpassed.  A  combination  of  almost 
every  shade  of  rich,  velvety  colors;  reds  are  particularly  conspicu- 
ous; the  petals  being  distinctly  marked  with  three  or  flve  large, 
dark  blotches. 

GIANT  PARISIAN.  The  flowers  are  of  enormous  size  and  beautifully 
marked,  mostly  flve  dark  blotches  on  white  and  yellow  ground;  an 
unusually  showy  mixture. 

GIANT  BRONZE.  A  fine  mixture  of  all  shades  of  velvety  brown, 
bronze,  Havana  brown,  mahogany  and  copper  shades. 

TRIUMPH  OF  GIANT.  Remarkably  beautiful.  The  imposing  flve- 
spotted  flowers  on  long,  vigorous  stalks  surmount  the  foliage  in  the 
most  graceful  manner,  are  of  enormous  size,  perfectly  round  and 
of  unusual  substance.  The  individual  petals  are  very  broad  and 
cover  each  other  In  such  a  manner  as  to  make  the  (lowers  appear

The  plants  are  of  a  robust  growth  and  form  compact  bushes  of  a 
round  shape.

sent  out.  Seed  carefully  saved  only  from  marked  plants  of  the  beat  varieties,  with  the 
largest  and  best  shaped  flowers  and  richest  coloring.  It  is  impossible  to  convey 
an  adequate  Idea  of  the  delightful  variations  in  color  and  markings  of  this  un- 
rivaled mixture.  500  seeds  30c,  1000  seeds  50c,  %  oz.  $1.35,  %  oz.  $2.50,  oz.

New  Early-flowering,  or  Winter  Blooming 

An  entirely  new  and  distinct  strain  of  Pansies  The  main  advantage  of  these 
new  Pansies  over  all  hitherto  existing  Pansies  is  the  extreme  earliness  of  flowering. 
Sown  at  the  same  time  as  other  Pansies,  they  begin  flowering  the  early  part  of  March 
or  as  soon  as  the  snow  is  off  the  ground,  many  times  having  four  or  five  large  flowers 
to  a  plant,  when  all  other  Pansies  are  only  showing  buds.  The  flowers  are  large,  well 
formed  and  fragrant.

MICHELL'S  Z  FLOWER  SEEDS 


the  seedsmen.  The  production,  prepara- 
tion and  distribution  of  farm  and  gar- 
den seeds  is  an  exceedingly  compli- 
cated business,  to  which  the  applica- 
tion of  impracticable  law  may  easily  do 
more  harm  than  good. 

In  the  general  circumstances  of  in- 
ternational and  interstate  trade  in 
seeds  it  was  unfortunate  that  prompt 
service  from  legislative  control  seemed 
to  be  necessary  and  advisable.  Legisla- 
tive control  of  the  commerce  of  seeds 
is  now  general  throughout  North  Amer- 
ica, and  I  would  not  now  recommend 
that  it  be  dispensed  with  until  such 
time  as  something  that  is  permanently 
better  be  provided  and  finally  estab- 
lished. 

A  Promising  System. 

In  my  judgment  the  voluntary  ac- 
tion that  has  recently  been  taken  by 
representative  seedsmen  on  the  sug- 
gestion of  officers  of  the  Department 
of  Agriculture  at  Washington,  is  de- 
serving of  the  careful  consideration 
and  wholehearted  support  of  every 
member  of  this  association.  The  work- 
ing out  of  the  plans  which  thus  far 
have  been  given  in  brief  in  the  press 
will  naturally  lead  to  a  national  sys- 
tem of  voluntary  seed  control  and  to 
the  gradual  elimination  by  common 
consent  of  legislative  control. 

The  seedsmen  have  been  given  good 
reason  to  expect  that  they  will  be  pro- 
vided with  reasonably  prompt  and  ef- 
ficient service  from  seed  laboratories 
made  conveniently  available  to  them. 
I  have  good  reason  to  know  that  the 
officers  of  the  Department  of  Agricul- 
ture who  are  to  assume  immediate  re- 
iponsibility  for  that  service,  will  have 
10  bed  of  roses.  They  will  need  your 
jvholesome  cooperation. 

The  Seedsman's  View. 

Ten  years  ago  this  step  in  advance 
toward  voluntary  seed  control  would 
probably  have  met  with  effective  oppo- 
sition on  the  part  of  members  of  this 
association.  Perhaps  there  are  even 
now  those  who  are  considering  this 
new  proposition  from  the  viewpoint  of 
which  in  the  end  may  be  the  lesser  of 
the  evils.  It  is  scarcely  to  be  expected 
that  you  may  obtain  relief  from  legis-

lative  control  that  may  seem  objection- 
able to  you  during  the  period  while 
progress  is  being  made  toward  the 
permanent  establishment  of  a  system 
that  will  ultimately  give  better  service 
to  agriculture,  as  well  as  be  more  ac- 
ceptable to  good  seedsmen. 

The  legislation  that  now  exists  may 
in  fact  be  needed  in  the  meantime  for 
the  protection  of  legitimate  seed  trade 
against  the  designs  of  unscrupulous 
seed  venders.  Within  five  years  this 
system  of  voluntary  control,  now  pro- 
posed, will  come  to  be  well  understood 
in  practice  and  may  be  made  to  pro- 
vide the  basis  for  the  further  better- 
ment of  the  seed  trade  of  a  nature 
that  could  not  easily  be  obtained  by  co- 
ercive  measures.

When  you  consign  your  flowers  to  us  you  are  doing  business  with  one  of  New  York's  most  reliable  com- 
mission houses.    We  give  every  shipment,  no  matter  what  the  quantity,  our  most  careful  attention. 
If  you  are  a  shipper  of  flowers  it  will  pay  you  to  get  in  touch  with  us. 

Special  opportunity  for  a  couple  of  Good  Rose  Growers  who  are  looking  for  best  returns.    Our  present  demand  is  larger  than  our  supply.

Capitola,  Cal. — At  the  Brown  Bulb 
Kanch  it  is  stated  that  the  rate  at  which 
orders  for  freesia  and  calla  bulbs  come 
in  indicates  that  war  conditions  help 
sales  rather  than  curtail  them. 

Movmt  Angel,  Ore. — June  1  C.  A. 
Gerhard  launched  his  ship  of  business, 
the  Mount  Angel  Seed  &  Floral  Co. 
Mr.  Gerhard  has  a  greenhouse  and  a 
tract  of  land,  and  proposes  to  sell 
flowers,  seeds,  bulbs,  flowering  and 
vegetable  plants. 


ASPARAGUS  NEEDS  FRESH  SOIL. 

About  fifteen  years  ago  I  planted  a 
house  to  Asparagus  plumosus.  The 
crops  did  well  for  thirteen  years;  then 
I  had  the  bed  trenched  to  a  depth  of 
eighteen  to  twenty  inches  and  worked 
in  a  quantity  of  stable  manure.  When 
this  work  was  completed  the  bed  was 
replanted  to  3-inch  and  4-inch  plumosus 
plants. 

The  plants  started  slowly,  although 
I  gave  one  side  of  the  bed  a  sprinkling 
of  bone  meal  and  later  the  other  side 
an  application  of  lime.  The  growth, 
however,  was  not  so  good  and  so  rapid 
as  formerly,  although  the  other  condi- 
tions were  the  same  as  in  other  years. 
The   plants  receive   plentv    of  water. 

W.  E.  K.— Cal. 


After  growing  Asparagus  plumosus  in 
the  same  soil  for  thirteen  years,  the 
soil  would  inevitably  become  more  or 
less  soured  and  exhausted,  and  the 
trenching  of  such  a  bed  would  bring 
the  sourest  soil  to  the  top.  This  un- 
doubtedly is  the  trouble  with  the  new 
plants  placed  in  the  beds. 

The  only  real  remedy  for  such  a  case 
would  be  to  lift  the  plants  and  then 
dig  out  the  bed  to  a  depth  of  eight  to 
ten  inches,  refilling  the  bed  with  fresh 
soil  before  replanting  the  stock.  The 
sooner  this  is  done  the  better.  Al- 
though it  means  much  work,  it  undoubt- 
edly would  pay  in  the  long  run.

LOS  ANGELES,  CAL. 


The  Market. 

The  scarcity  of  all  kinds  of  good 
stock  continues,  and  both  wholesalers 
and  retailers  have  had  difficulty  in 
filling  orders  for  good  indoor  roses, 
carnations,  valley  and  orchids.  Even 
sweet  peas,  not  having  gotten  over  the 
heat  wave,  are  scarce  and  poor.  Cold 
storage  Easter  lilies  have  helped  out, 
though  outside  of  funeral  stock  they 
are  not  much  liked,  nor  in  great  de- 
mand. Gladioli  are  selling  freely  on 
account  of  the  scarcity  of  other  stock, 
but  even  at  that  some  of  the  colors  do 
not  clean  up.  America,  that  good  old 
standby,  is  greatly  in  evidence,  its  soft 
coloring  making  it  suitable  for  any 
kind  of  work,  but  some  of  the  more 
strongly  marked  gandavensis  and 
other  hybrids  clash  with  one  another 
and  cannot  always  be  used.  Some 
pretty  combinations  are  worked 
out  in  the  retailers'  windows  with  blue 
and  white  agapanthus  and  delphini- 
ums, all  these  lasting  well. 


Field  carnations  are  thin  and  poor, 
and  there  is  little  chance  of  improve- 
ment in  these  until  the  young  stock 
comes  into  flower.  Centaureas  are  fine 
hot  weather  flowers,  the  imperialis 
types  holding  their  color  much  longer 
than  cyanus.  Another  fine  hot  weather 
flower  is  the  African  marigold,  the 
large  double  yellow  and  orange  forms 
being  fine  for  decorations  of  any  kind. 
They  do  not  show  signs  of  wear  so 
quickly  as  gaillardias  and  coreopsis, 
and  the  objectionable  odor  common  to 
the  older  types  is  almost  entirely  ab- 
sent. Spikes  of  single  hollyhocks,  too, 
in  the  softer  shades  of  color,  make  a 
nice  showing,  and  as  the  lower  flowers 
fall  those  higher  up  develop,  making  a 
display  over  a  long  season.  Greens  of 
all  kinds  are  still  plentiful  and  good, 
but  pot  ferns  are  scarce. 

Various    Notes. 

John  Fincken  reports  an  extra  good 
run  of  funeral  work  at  the  "Washing- 
ton street  store.  Nursery  stock  is  sell- 
ing well  and  a  good  deal  of  landscape 
work  is  being  taken  care  of. 

An  enjoyable  evening  was  spent  by 
the  members  and  friends  of  the  Los 
Angeles    County    Horticultural    Society 


at  Jahnke's  cafe,  June  23.  President 
Taylor  was  in  the  chair  and  introduced 
speakers  and  entertainers,  including 
Mrs.  McGillivray,  wife  of  the  treas- 
urer, who  was  in  good  voice  and  re- 
ceived several  encores  for  her  songs. 

Ernest  Braunton,  for  many  years 
connected  with  some  of  the  older  pri- 
vate places  here  and  well  known  as  a 
writer  and  speaker  on  horticultural 
topics,  has  been  elected  to  a  seat  on  the 
park  commission.  His  knowledge  of  na- 
tive and  exotic  shrubbery  and  plants 
should  make  him  particularly  fitted 
for  the  position. 

Albert  Goldenson,  manager  of  the 
Wolf  skills'  &  Morris  Goldenson  store, 
reports  a  good  run  of  funeral  work  and 
also  several  good  weddings.  At  one  of 
the  latter  the  interior  decoration  was 
carried  out  in  Shasta  daisies,  with  suit- 
able greenery.  An  old-time  wedding 
bell  was  used  for  a  centerpiece  and  the 
bride  carried  lily  of  the  valley  and 
white    orchids. 

J.  M.  Grant  reports  that,  in  spite  of 
quiet  times,  there  is  still  something 
doing  in  landscape  work.  He  has  sev- 
eral nice  contracts  in  hand,  as  well  as 
some  bigger  things  under  considera- 
tion.

Mrs.  Beulah  E.  Patton,  wife  of  M.  B. 
Patton,  of  the  Patton  Seed  Co.,  Pasa- 
dena, died  suddenly  from  heart  failure 
after  an  automobile  ride  June  25.  Mrs. 
Patton  had  not  been  feeling  well  since 
the  extremely  hot  weather  of  a  week 
previous,  but  she  had  given  no  cause 
for  anxiety  to  her  friends. 

M.  B.  Patton,  or  "Pat,"  as  he  is 
affectionately  known  to  a  wide  circle 
of  friends,  has  the  sympathy  of  the 
trade  in  the  loss  of  his  wife.  Always 
bright  and  cheerful,  bustling  and 
happy  in  disposition,  her  sudden  death 
is  one  of  those  terrible  shocks  to  all 
who  knew  her.  Mrs.  Patton  was  a 
native  of  New  Hampshire  and  in  1905 
came  to  South  Pasadena,  where  she 
lived  until  the  day  of  her  death.  A  large 
number  of  floral  tributes  were  sent  to 
the  funeral,  which  took  place  June  27. 

William  "Wienhoeber,  son  of  Ernst 
Wienhoeber,  of  the  Ernst  Wien- 
hoeber Co.,  Chicago,  is  one  of  our  vis- 
itors this  week.  He  evidently  is  com- 
bining pleasure  with  a  look  into  the 
business  end  here,  as  he  is  keen  on  see- 
ing what  is  going  on.  Mr.  Wienhoeber 
came  out  by  the  "way  of  the  Grand 
Canyon  and  will  return  by  the  coast. 

All  the  wholesalers  report  a  falling 
off  in  the  shipments  to  desert  sections, 
much  of  the  business  now  being  done 
consisting  of  made-up  designs  and 
sprays.  This  is  getting  to  be  an  in- 
creasingly profitable  business  and  is  a 
great  convenience  to  small  florists  who 
do  not  carry  much  in  the  way  of  sup- 
plies. As  usual  when  the  growers  are 
short  of  stock  to  peddle,  the  local  de- 
mands on  the  wholesalers  have  been 
heavier  and  more   consistent.

show  a  greater  volume  of  business  this 
year  than  last.  June  was  a  good  month 
all  around.  Weddings  were  exceedingly 
numerous  and,  while  not  so  elaborate  on 
the  average  as  in  former  years,  they 
were  productive  of  considerable  good 
business.  Funeral  orders  were  a  big 
item  throughout  the  month  and  counter 
trade  held  up  seasonably  well.  Pros- 
pects for  the  last  half  of  the  year  are 
considered   bright. 

The  stock  situation  has  improved 
since  the  last  report,  due  principally 
to  a  few  days  of  cooler  weather,  which 
has  served  to  shorten  the  supply  a 
little.  After  the  deluge  of  flowers 
last  week,  the  lighter  offerings,  while 
still  in  abundance  for  the  demand,  are 
a  source  of  gratification  for  all  con- 
cerned. Even  with  the  improvement  it 
is  hard  for  the  market  to  absorb  the 
supply  at  substantial  prices.  Good  roses 
are  a  little  scarce,  as  most  of  the  grow- 
ers are  off  crop  and  replanting.  Amer- 
ican Beauties  are  noticeably  on  the 
short  side  of  the  market.  This  makes 
toward  firmer  prices  on  first-class  roses. 
Eussell  continues  to  maintain  its  popu- 
larity. 

Gladioli  are  becoming  more  plentiful 
from  day  to  day  and  bid  fair  to  dom- 
inate the  market  in  another  week.  The

desired  and  the  demand  so  far  has  taken 
care  of  the  supjjly  in  good  shape.  Pan- 
ama, America  and  Francis  King  are  the 
varieties  most  in  evidence.  Dahlias 
come  in  for  a  sliare  of  attention.  It  is 
much  to  be  regretted  that  this  flower 
does  not  hold  up  better  for  shipping,  as 
it  has  so  many  otlier  desirable  qualities 
and  grows  to  such  splendid  advantage 
in  tliis  vicinity. 

Easter  lilies  are  plentiful  and  many 
yellow  callas  are  to  be  seen.  Lilium 
auratum  is  beginning  to  appear,  the 
quality  being  particularly  fine.  Carna- 
tions are  in  excessive  supply,  so  good 
flowers  are  hard  to  clean  up  even  at 
moderate  prices,  and  inferior  stock  goes 
begging  at  any  figure.  Good  outdoor 
sweet  peas  are  well  taken,  notwith- 
standing the  wide  variety  of  garden 
flowers.  Orchids  and  valley  are  still 
a  little  short  of  the  demand. 

Various  Notes. 

Final  details  for  the  second  annual 
show  of  the  Dahlia  Society  of  Califor- 
nia were  completed  at  a  meeting  held 
June  22  at  the  Palace  hotel.  It  was  de- 
cided to  give  the  show  in  the  ballroom 
of  that  hotel  September  4  to  6,  and  to 
spare  neitlier  time  nor  expense  in  mak- 
ing it  the  finest  exhibition  ever  held

The  Florists^  Review 


July  5,  1917. 


The  flower  show  committee  of  the  Pa- 
cific Coast  Horticultural  Society  held  a 
meeting  at  the  Hotel  Whitcomb  a  few 
evenings  ago  to  make  preparations  for 
the  proposed  show  to  be  held  in  the 
spring  of  1918.  Those  present  were  M. 
Poss,  E.  James,  J.  A.  Carbone,  H.  Plath, 
C.  W.  Ward,  D.  Eaymond,  Fred  Ber- 
trand,  W.  B.  Clarke,  Walter  Hofing- 
hoff  and  John  Gill.  In  order  to  assure 
success  for  the  show,  it  was  decided  to 
guarantee  $5,000.  Already  about  $2,000 
has  been  pledged.  A  committee  on 
schedules  was  appointed,  as  follows: 
M.  Poss,  chairman;  H.  Plath,  E.  James, 
C.  W.  Ward,  V.  Podesta,  Fred  Bertrand 
and  Frank  Pelicano,  the  last  three  rep- 
resenting the  retailers.  A  committee 
was  also  appointed  to  see  about  the 
reservation  of  a  hall  in  the  civic  audi- 
torium. 

The  new  store  of  F.  C.  Jaeger  &  Son, 
at  152  Powell  street,  was  formally 
opened  for  business  June  23.  Besides 
the  many  friends  who  called  to  congrat- 
ulate him  personally,  Mr.  Jaeger  re- 
ceived telegrams  from  Los  Angeles, 
New  York  and  other  places,  extending 
best  wishes  to  the  new  firm.  The  com- 
bination promises  to  be  a  particularly 
happy  and  profitable  one,  as  the  son, 
Fred  C.  Jaeger,  Jr.,  is  taking  an  active 
part  in  the  management  of  the  busi- 
ness, and  Mr.  Jaeger's  daughter,  Laura, 
is  to  assist  with  tlie  bookkeeping.  The 
force  is  further  strengthened  by  Manuel 
Gottelli,  an  experienced  florist,  who  is 
well  known  locally,  having  been  with 
Podesta  &  Baldocchi  and  more  recently 
with  MacEorie  &  McLaren, 

E.  W.  McLellan  has  gone  to  southern

who  has  been  up  there  for  some  time 
for  her  health.

portion  of  the  United  States.  He  is 
well  pleased  with  the  result^  of  his 
trip. 

A.  J.  Rossi  and  Frank  Pelicano,  of

to  be  convalescing.  Frank  Thatcher  is

PORTLAND,  ORE. 


The  Market. 

There  was  little  business  for  either 
the  wholesalers  or  retailers  last  week, 
owing  to  the  summer  weather  and  the 
activity  in  behalf  of  the  Red  Cross. 
There  was  an  abundance  of  stock  in  the 
market,  that  from  outdoors  coming  in 
quantities,  but  there  was  little  call  for 
it.     Funeral  work  has  been  light. 

Various  Notes. 

During  Red  Cross  week  small  red, 
white  and  blue  bouquets  were  sold  by  a 
motion  picture  actress  for  $10.  Pink 
carnations  brought  $5.  Such  prices 
made  the  local  florists  jealous. 

Sunday  closing  again  is  being  agi- 
tated. 

George  Spencer,  foreman  for  Martin

State    Nursery    &    Seed    Co.,    Helena, 
Mont. 

John  W.  Duncan,  superintendent  of 
the  city  parks,  is  planning  a  trip  to  New 
York  city  during  the  S.  A.  F.  conven- 
*;ion  in  August.     Mr.  Duncan  is  trying 

■»  get  the  Spokane  florists  to  make  up 
''  party  for  the  trip  and  has  succeeded 

n  interesting  several,  who  have  prom- 
ised to  go.  L.  B.  H. 


METHODS   OF   PROPAGATION. 

[This  is  tlie  second  installment  of  extracts 
from  a  paper  road  by  T.  D.  Hatfield,  of  Welles- 
ley,  Mass.,  nt  a  moetinfr  of  the  Massachusetts 
Horticultural  Society.  The  third  will  be  run  in 
an  early  issue.] 

Cuttings  of  evergreen  trees  and 
shrubs,  mostly  coniferous  plants,  are 
put  in  during  the  autumn  and  kept  over 
in  a  cool  greenhouse  or  coldframe.  The 
same  thing  is  done  with  cotoneasters, 
evonymus  and  buxus.  They  scarcely  do 
more  than  callous  during  the  winter.  A 
fair  percentage  may  be  expected  to  root 
during  the  following  spring  and  sum- 
mer, but  some  junipers,  torreyas  and 
taxus  may  lie  over  another  year.  Those 
that  root  may  be  planted  in  the  spring, 
but  it  is  customary  to  keep  them  in 
flats  until  established,  as  the  roots  of 
some  are  brittle,  especially  the  yews 
and  torreyas. 

EstablisMng  New  Varieties. 

It  is  best  to  root  all  the  forms  and 
variations  from  the  type  from  cuttings, 
especially  the  foliage  forms  of  conifers, 
as  they  are  surer  of  retaining  their 
varietal  character  than  when  grafted. 
Ordinarily  the  juvenile  forms  of  thuja, 
juniper  and  chamaecyparis,  with  acicu- 
lar  whorled  leaves,  give  way  in  a  few 
years  to  the  adpressed  adult  form  and 
sometimes  quite  extreme  forms.  If, 
however,  these  juvenile  and  other  forms 
are  rooted  from  cuttings  they  will  be 
likely  to  retain  their  individuality  dur- 
ing the  lifetime  of  the  plant.  In  this 
way  many  peculiar  forms  of  conifers 
have  been  established  and  are  now  in 
cultivation,  but  if  grafted  they  are  lia- 
ble to  take  on  the  adult  form  or  revert 
sometime  or  other,  either  wholly  or  in 
part.  The  dimorphic  character  of  many 
conifers  makes  it  difficult  to  fix  these 
variations  with  any  degree  of  certainty 
and  they  sometimes  break  away.  The 
red  cedar,  as  before  stated,  has  at  first 
acicular  juvenile  leaves  and  later  ad- 
pressed, scale-like  adult  leaves.  Now, 
if  it  is  pruned  or  gets  injured  the  first 
new  leaves  that  appear  are  juvenile  and 
it  does  not  resume  the  adult  form  for 
two  or  three  years,  starting  life  over 
again,  after  a  setback,  so  to  speak. 

Dwarfing  Plants. 

It  takes  less  time  to  flower  a  plant 
from  a  cutting  or  graft  than  from  a 
seed,  and  at  less  stature.  This  fact  is 
often  taken  advantage  of  to  dwarf 
stock.  A  cutting  of  the  poinsettia,  if 
taken  in  spring  and  grown,  will  some- 
times reach  a  height  of  six  feet  before 
flowering,  but  if  a  cutting  is  taken  in 
July  it  will  flower  at  one-third  this 
height  or  less.  It  is  a  common  practice 
to  take  cuttings  of  flower  stems  of  Cras- 
sula  coccinea  and  bloom  them  when  a 
few  inches  high,  and  the  same  can  be 
done  with  Sedum  spectabile.  The  ordi- 
nary garden  phlox  can  be  rooted  from 
cuttings  and  grown  as  a  pot  plant  and 
has  considerable  decorative  value.  Chry- 
santhemums can  be  bloomed  down  to  a 
foot  high,  depending  on  when  the  cut- 
tings are  rooted.

Leaf  Cuttings  to  Fix  Sports. 

Drop  a  leaf  of  a  Eex  begonia  on  the 
sand  of  the  propagating  bed  and  it  will 
root  at  almost  every  leaf  fork.  This 
suggestion  has  been  taken  advantage  of 
by  growers  of  Begonia  Gloire  de  Lor- 
raine and  now  stock  of  this  is  raised  al- 
most exclusively  in  this  way. 

Leaf  cuttings  are  often  the  only 
means  of  fixing  a  sport.  Sports  as  they 
occur  in  chrysanthemums  mean  a  change 
in  the  color  of  the  flower,  sometimes  half 
and  half.  Generally  the  sporting  does 
not  extend  to  the  whole  shoot,  and 
shoots  below  a  certain  point  produce 
normal  flowers;  so  to  fix  a  sport  it  must 
be  done  from  the  shoot  that  produces 
it.  Sometimes  one  is  limited  to  leaf 
eyes,  which  generally  root  quite  easily 
and  so  the  sport  is  fixed.  The  plants  ob- 
tained will  produce  rootstocks  the  fol- 
lowing autumn  from  which  can  be  got  a 
plentiful  supply  of  cuttings.  Rose 
sports  can  be  treated  in  the  same  way, 
although  grafting  and  budding  may  be 
practiced  with  these.

OUR  PRIMROSES,  grown  as  usual 
from  the  best  strains  in  existence, 
are  ready  again.  The  plants  are 
all  grown  outside  in  frames,  short,  stocky 
and  full  of  life.  All  our  obconicas  are 
from  our  own  seed,  seedbearers  selected 
from  thousands  of  plants.  No  seed 
reached  this  country  from  our  German 
specialist  this  season  and  obconicas  of  this 
high-class  strain  will  be  scarce.  Order 
early  and  order  enough,  you  know  you 
need  them,  you  know  they  are  very  prof- 
itable, you  know  there  will  be  no  Azaleas 
and  you  know  you  must  have  something 
to  fill  the  gap.

The  Florists^  Review 


July  5,  1917. 


The  peony  specialist  of  Dayton,  O., 
P.  D.  Berry,  the  other  day  sold  a  plant  of 
one  of  his  rare  varieties  for  $100,  accord- 
ing to  the  papers.  The  entire  crop  tliis 
year  was  sold  to  the  Good  &  Reese  Co.,  of 
Springfield,  O. 

G.  A.  ToLLESON,  who  has  been  associ- 
ated with  A.  V.  Wickstrom  in  a  nursery 
business  at  Lake  City,  Minn.,  last  week 
purchased  the  Wickstrom  interest  in  the 
firm.  He  will  continue  the  business  under 
the  name  of  Tolleson  Nurseries. 

Fire,  originating  from  sources  un- 
known, last  week  destroyed  the  large 
warehouse  of  the  Mutual  Nurseries,  at 
Monroe,  Mich.,  causing  a  loss  estimated 
at  $15,000  and  ruining  large  quantities 
of  seedlings.  Charles  A.  Ilgenfritz,  the 
proprietor,  was  in  Philadelphia  attending 
the  nurserymen's  convention  at  the  time 
of  the  blaze. 


THE  A.  A.  N.  MEETING. 

[The  opening  sessions  of  t)ie  convention  nt 
Pliiladelphia  were  fully  reporteil  in  Tlie  Keview 
of  June  28.] 

Officers   Elected. 

At  the  close  of  the  forty-second  an- 
nual convention  of  the  American  As- 
sociation of  Nurserymen  last  week,  the 
following  officers  were  elected: 

President — Lloyd  C.  Stark,  Louisi- 
ana, Mo. 

Vice-president — J.  R.  Mayhew,  Wax- 
ahachie,  Tex. 

Secretary — Curtis  Nye  Smitli,  Bos- 
ton. 

Treasurer — J.  W.  Hill,  Des  Moines, 
Iowa. 

Executive  committee — T.  B.  West, 
Perry,  O.;  E.  W.  Chatlin,  Winchester, 
Tenn.;  Charles  C.  Mayhew,  Sherman, 
Tex. 

An  Arboretum. 

Acting  on  a  recommendation  in  the 
address  of  the  president,  the  conven- 
tion voted  to  have  a  committee  ap- 
pointed to  work  out  a  plan  for  an  ar- 
boretum to  be  maintained  by  the  as- 
sociation, to  be  located  in  some  accessi- 
ble place  where  the  association  can 
hold  most,  if  not  all,  of  its  meetings 
after  the   arboretum   is   under  way. 

National   Advertising   to   Start. 

Following  discussion  of  the  report 
of  F.  L.  Atkins,  chairman  of  the  pub- 
licity committee,  an  appropriation  was 
made  as  the  nucleus  of  a  fund  for  a 
nation-wide  educational  campaign  to 
show  the  public  the  extent  and  purpose 
of  the  nursery  business  in  tlie  United 
States.  This  action  is  interpreted  as  a 
turning  point  in  the  liistorv  of  the  as- 
sociation, which  hitherto  has  avoided 
publicity. 

A  session  was  given  largely  to  dis- 
cussion of  advertising  as  an  adjunct 
to  the  selling  force  of  the  nurseryman. 
W.  F.  Therkildson,  advertising  man- 
ager of  W.  Atlee  Burpee  &  Co.,  told 
that  advertising  will  sway  public  opin- 
ion. Robert  Pyle,  of  Conard  &  Jones 
Co.,  West  Grove,  also  urged  the  expert 


Lloyd  C.  Stark. 


use  of  advertising.  Irvin  F.  Paschall, 
advertising  manager  of  the  Farm  Jour- 
nal, said  that  nurserymen  should  take 
advantage  of  popular  interest  in  agri- 
culture  to   sell    nursery   products. 

A  strong  plea  for  the  (levelopment  of 
amateur  interest  in  gardening  also  was 
voiced  by  Prof.  L.  C.  Corbett,  of  the 
Department  of  Agriculture.  Professor 
Corbett  maintained  that  the  nursery 
business  was  suffering,  l)oth  aesthetical- 
ly and  practically,  from  too  exclusive 
cultivation  of  its  ])rofessional  side.  In- 
crease of  amateur  interest,  he  said, 
would  do  much  to  encourage  the  devel- 
opment of  new  stocks. 

The  funds  for  publicity  must 
come  from  the  members,  as  the  associa- 
tion had  a  balance  June  27  of  only 
$5,361,  and  the  receipts  for  the  pre- 
ceding year  had  fallen  $2,483  beliind 
tlie  expenditures. 

Opposes  a  Quarantine. 

Acting  on  tlie  report  of  William  Pit- 
kin, chairman  of  the  committee  on  leg- 
islation, the  association  went  on  record 
as  unalterably  opposed  to  the  needless 
and  unjustifiable  exclusion  of  all  for- 
eign nursery  stock  by  act  of  Congress, 
as    is    urged    by    certain    entomologists. 

It  is  expected,  unless  new  activities 
prevent,  that  a  general  conference  of 
all    interests    will    be    held    during    the 


next  few  weeks.  The  committee  "has 
instructed  the  association's  counsel  to 
consider  the  legal  aspects  of  the  matter 
and  to  prepare  the  case  for  conference, 
and  we  also  have  secured  a  scientific 
adviser  who  will  be  able  to  inform  us 
as  to  the  scientific  aspects  of  the  ques- 
tions that  will  arise." 

Export  Our   Surplus. 

.V  resolution  pledged  the  assistance 
of  the  association  in  restoring  the  dev- 
astated area  of  northern  France.  A  plea 
came  from  Prince  Poniatowski,  of 
Paris,  urging  that  American  nursery- 
men send  such  stock  as  they  can  spare. 
The  letter  said: 

One  can  see  tlironRh  the  Aisne  Department 
lots  of  small  orchards  with  trees  cut  down  at 
ahont  a  foot  from  the  ground  and  the  upper  part 
lyiiiK  there  in  full  bloom,  enough  sap  having  been 
found  in  the  upper  part  of  the  trunk  to  respond 
to  the  call  of  spring.  It  is  a  heart-rending  sight. 
Seeds  for  plants,  vegetables  and  fruits  are  being 
distributed,  and  the  damage  can  be  quickly 
repairt'd.  but  it  will  take  four  or  five  years 
before  it  can  be  yielding  any  fruit,  and  the  trees 
we  can  get  from  the  south  will  hardly  thrive  in 
our  northern  climate,  which  is  something  like 
that  in  Vermont. 

Business  Matters. 

While  a  good  part  of  the  convention 
was  devoted  to  discussing  the  affairs 
of  the  association,  including  the  fail- 
ure of  the  new  plan  of  organization^ 
with  "additional"  dues  of  from  $5  to 
$50   per    member,   to    produce    as    much

Our  peony  list  is  not  a  long  one.  but  it  has  been  made  up  with  great  care 
and  with  the  idea  of  including  only  the  best  and  most  distinct  kinds.  We 
believe  we  are  offering  a  line-up  that  is  really  worth  while,  an  assortment 
representing  the  very  best  out  of  hundreds  of  varieties.  We  give  ycu  sorts 
presenting  a  wide  range  in  color  and  shade— coming  into  bloom  throughout 
the  entire  season. 

Our  stock  is  correct  and  unmixed,  carefully  rogued  every  other  day  while 
in  bloom.    The  price  is  for  divisions  with  three  to  five  eyes— and  roots.

The  Market. 


The  supply  of  stock  underwent  a 
change  during  the  last  week,  there  be- 
ing an  abundance  where  before  there 
had  been  a  scarcity.  Eoses  are  in  good 
supply  and  are  of  fair  quality.  They 
range  in  price  from  $2  to  $6  per  hun- 
dred. Carnations  hold  up  well  for  this 
season  of  the  year.  Besides  the  quanti- 
ties produced  by  local  growers,  thou- 
sands are  being  shipped  in,  and  out  of 
the  whole  some  good  stock  may  be  se- 
lected at  low  prices. 
.  The  supply  of  lilies  has  increased. 
They  are  now  plentiful  at  from  $8  to 
$10  per  hundred.  Indoor  gladioli  are 
of  good  quality  and  sell  at  $5  to  $8 
per  hundred.  Peonies  are  gone.  New 
outdoor  stock  includes  sweet  peas  and 
gladioli.  The  former  are  of  good  qual- 
ity and  sell  at  50  cents  per  hundred. 
Delphiniums,  snapdragons,  Shasta  dai- 
pjes,  gaillardias,  coreopsis,  Canterbury 
bells  and  phloxes  sell  well.  ,,,^v,.

Tlie  Market. 


The  supply  in  the  market  ii  fait  and 
is  sufficient  for  all  present  needs.  The 
demand  is  fair  and  steady,  but  not 
strong  enough  to  bring  about  a  firm 
market.  Shipping  business  in  ferns  is 
excellent. 

Eoses  are  in  heavy  supply,  but  only  a 
limited  number  of  the  blooms  are  long- 
stemmed.  The  supply  of  carnations  is 
decreasing  and  only  a  few  are  of  good 
quality.  There  are  plenty  of  good  Easter 
lilies  to  be  had.  Gladioli  have  been 
Belling  as  fast  as  they  came  in  and  more 
could  have  been  disposed  of  had  they 
been  available.  Among  other  offerings 
are  snapdragons,  feverfew,  cornflowers, 
outdoor  sweet  peas,  peonies,  candytuft 
and  gaillardias. 

Greens  are  plentiful.  New  ferns  are 
meeting  with  a  heavy  demand. 

Various  Notes. 

Miss  Laura  Murphy,  after  attending 
the  Confederacy  Keunion  at  Washing- 
ton and  visiting  other  eastern  points 
on  her  vacation,  has  returned  home. 

Among  the  recent  visitors  were  A.  W. 
Herre,  representing  the  Poehlmann 
Bros.  Co.,  Chicago,  111.,  and  Herbert 
Pennock,  of  Jupiter,  Fla. 

The  annual  meeting  of  the  Cincinnati 
Florists'  Society  will  be  held  July  9. 
Officers  for  the  ensuing  year  will  be 
elected.  C.  H.  H.

Greenhouse  Heating. 

■^^"^■"  ■■  '    —  -  ■■■■■■» 

Sdbsgeubers  are  invited  to  write  the 
Editor  of  this  Department  with  regard  to 
any  details  of  greenhouse  heating  that 
are  not  understood.  But  please  do  not 
ask  The  Beview  to  make  a  choice  of  ap- 
paratus for  you.  The  greenhouse  heating 
equipment  advertised  in  this  paper  is,  we 
believe,  tiie  best  for  the  trade  to  Duy, 
and  each  article  the  best  in  the  special 
field  of  its  adaptation. 


DEPENDS  Olt  STYLE  OF  BEDS. 

I  am  planning  to  erect  a  small  green- 
house and  should  like  to  get  the  advice 
of  The  Eeview's  Heating  Department 
about  the  piping  of  it.  The  house  will 
be  18x36,  with  6-foot  side  walls,  each 
containing  three  feet  of  glass.  It  will 
be  an  even-span  house,  running  east  and 
west,  with  a  boiler  room  and  potting 
shed  across  the  west  end.  I  propose  to 
use  hot  water  and  shall  want  a  tempera- 
ture of  70  degrees  in  zero  weather. 
What  size  and  arrangement  of  pipes 
will  be  best  for  this  house?  How  far 
below  the  level  of  the  greenhouse  floor 
should  the  boiler  be  placed,  for  best 
results?  H.  M,  D. — Tenn. 


To  heat  a  greenhouse  18x36,  with 
three  feet  of  glass  in  the  side  walls,  to 
70  degrees  in  zero  weather,  we  would 
use  three  2i^-inch  flow  pip^,  placing 
one  upon  each  plate  and  the  other  two 
feet  below  the  ridge.  For  the  return 
coils  place  three  2-inch  pipes  on  each 
side  wall  and  five  under  the  middle 
bench.  In  case  solid  beds  are  used,  it 
would  be  possible  to  heat  the  house 
with  a  2% -inch  flow  pipe  upon  each 
plate  and  with  six  2-inch  returns  on 
each  wall. 

While  a  fairly  good  circulation  may 
be  secured  if  the  top  of  the  boiler  is 
even  with  the  floor  of  the  greenhouse, 
we  would  prefer  to  place  the  boiler 
two  feet  lower. 


"PIPED  WITHOUT  ANY  SYSTEM." 

We  are  repiping  three  houses  which 
we  recently  purchased,  and  which  are 
now  piped  without  any  system  at  all. 
The  houses  are  each  28^^x100.  We 
have  a  35-horsepower  steam  boiler.  One 
house  is  used  for  carnations,  one  for 
chrysanthemums  and  geraniums  and 
the  other  for  ferns.  I  am  enclosing  a 
rough  sketch  of  tlio  piping,  so  you  can 
gather  some  idea  of  its  present  arrange- 
ment. 

We  had  planned  to  run  one  2-inch 
flow  through  the  gable  of  each  house 
and  return  with  two  1-inch  pipes  under 
each  of  the  four  benches.  These  flows 
would  leave  a  4-incli  main  at  the  west 
end  and  run  to  the  east  end.  We  should 
also  like  to  place  a  l^/^-inch  or  li4-inch 
return  under  each  gutter,  to  serve  in 
case  of  snow.  Will  this  be  enough  pip- 
ing in  the  mum  and  carnation  houses, 
where  we  want  a  temperature  of  55  de- 
grees at  night?  In  the  north  house, 
which  will  be  used  for  ferns,  we  planned 
to  place  two  2-inch  flows  on  the  pur- 
lins, with  the  returns  the  same  as  in  the 
other  two  houses.  Will  it  be  satisfac- 
tory to  run  a  coil  on  the  east  end  and 
above  each  door?  The  houses  are  lo- 
cated on  a  small  hill  and  are  entirelv 
without  protection.  T.  F.  C— 111.  ^

Remarkable  Commercial  Records 

The  past  year  has  developed  unheard-of  commercial  records  for 
the  business  interests  of  this  country. 

U.  S,  exports  have  reached  the  enormous  sum  of  $4,000,000,000. 

The  bank  clearings  of  our  country  were  $260,102,653,054. 

The  tonnage  in  steel  assumed  the  astounding  figure  of  40,000,000 
(forty  million)  tons. 

The  year's  earnings  in  freight  and  transportation  of  the  railroads 
ran  into  billions. 

HORTICULTURALLY  speaking,  1916  also  made  remarkable 
history. 

Cut  Flowers  and  )  $70,000,000  to  $72,000,000  (accord- 

Greenhouse  Products  j  ing  to  the  best  available  figures). 

These  figures,  we  hope,  will  leave  a  generous  and  well  deserved 
profit  for  our  numerous  florist  friends. 


Our  company  takes  pride  in  announcing  that  the  year  1916  goes 
on  record  as  the  world's  highest  mark  in  the  sales  of  greenhouse 
boilers.  During  the  year  of  1916  we  sold  direct  from  factory  to  user 
the  following  boilers  for  greenhouse  heating: 

Kroeschell  Greenhouse  Hot  Water  Boilers 1,639,500  sq.  ft.  glass 

Kroeschell  Tubeless  Hot  Water  Boilers 104,860  sq.  ft.  glass

Getting  Down  to  the  Real  Facts 
About  Flues  on  Tubular  Boilers 


FIND  out  the  actual  inside  diameter  of  the  flues 
on  practically  any  tubular  boiler  that  you  know 
anything  about,  and  you  will  find  they  measure 
as  low  as  two  inches  and  seldom,  if  ever,  more 
than  three. 

Such  tubes  choke  down  the  combustion. 

This  is  why. 

The  flames  and  gases  coming  directly  from  the 
flre,  contain  a  surprising  quantity  of  half  burned 
coal,  black  sooty  stuff,  and  also  cinders. 

The  small  tubes  cool  the  flames  and  gases  down 
to  such  an  extent  that  the  sooty  parts  stick  to  the 
sides  of  the  tubes,  or  go  up  the  chimney  in  black 
smoke. 

Such  smoke  is  simply  unburned  coal  or  money 
wasted. 

The  soot  and  cinders  filling  up  the  tubes,  choke 
the  draft,  causing  more  and  more  of  the  coal  to  go 
up  the  chimney  unburned.  Sticking  to  their  sides, 
it  also  prevents  the  water  from  quickly  absorbing 
the  amount  of  heat  it  should. 

In  comparison,  look  at  those  two  big  tubes  in 
the  Burnham. 

They  are  so  large  that  the  flames  continue  to 
burn  the  gases  and  unburned  parts  of  the  coal 
throughout  their  entire  length.    The  rear  combus- 


tion chamber  or  space  into  which  they  lead,  allows 
a  further  burning. 


|pv:--t;i.  ■  '"•SV  - 


All  this  happens  before  the  4-inch  tubes  are 
reached,  which  means  that  the  soot  and  gases 
are  fully  burned,  giving  off  much  heat  otherwise 
wasted. 

The  4-inch  tubes  are  kept  surprisingly  free  from 
cinders,  because  they  drop  to  the  bottom  of  the 
rear  combustion  chamber,  from  where  they  are 
easily  removed. 

You  can  plainly  see  that  the  big  flues  and  the 
rear  combustion  chamber  are  practically  as  good 
heating  surfaces  as  the  fire-box  itself.  Also  that 
only  the  clean,  fully  burned  gases  enter  the  4-inch 
tubes,  which  extract  nearly  all  the  remaining  heat 
before  they  have  a  chance  to  go  up  the  chimney. 

In  this  Burnham  Tubular,  you  not  only  have 
tubes  made  of  long-lasting  charcoal  iron,  instead 
of  short-lived  steel,  but  a  size  and  arrangement 
that  produces  ideal  burning  conditions  for  even  the 
lower  grades  of  fuel. 

There  being  no  dead  heat  absorbing  masonry, 
the  water  because  it  surrounds  all  flues  and  the 
fire-box  as  well,  simply  squeezes  the  heat  right 
out  of  the  coal.  At  present  price  of  coal,  such  a 
heat  squeezer  means  a  big  saving. 

For  further  facts,  send  for  circular  of  this  new 
Burnham,  made  at  our  factory  at  Geneva,  N.  Y.

turns,  in  the  fern  house;  eight  1-inch 
flows  and  three  1-inch  returns  in  the 
carnation  house,  and  three  2-inch  and 
two  1-inch  flows,  with  six  1-inch  re- 
turns, in  the  geranium  house.  If  there 
is  no  glass  in  the  outer  walls,  the 
amount  of  radiation  in  the  fern  and 
chrysanthemum  houses  is  not  far  from 
correct.  If  there  are  only  three  1-inch 
returns  in  the  carnation  house,  as  we 
infer  is  the  case,  there  should  be  an  in- 
crease to  the  extent  of  not  less  than 
two  returns.  However,  the  arrangement 
of  the  pipes  is  decidedly  faulty. 

While  1-inch  pipes  may  be  used  for 
Bteam  returns  in  houses  100  feet  long, 
we  prefer  to  use  l^-inch  pipes  in 
houses  of  that  length.  For  low-pressure 
steam  it  will  be  advisable  to  use  a 
21/4-inch  flow  pipe  for  each  house  if  a 
single  flow  is  used,  but  if  it  is  desired 
to  utilize  the  2-inch  pipe  now  in  the 
house,  a  2-inch  flow  pipe  may  be 
placed  upon  each  wall  plate  or  on  the 
purlin  posts.  To  carry  a  temperature 
of  55  degrees  in  zero  weather,  we  would 
use  eleven  1-inch  returns  if  there  is  no 
glass  in  the  side  walls,  or  twelve  re- 
turns with  thirty  inches  of  glass.  In 
case  11/4 -inch  returns  are  used,  we 
would  install  nine  returns  if  there  is  no 
glass  in  the  walls,  or  ten  returns  with 
glass. 

For  65  degrees  in  the  fern  house, 
three  additional  returns  will  be  neces- 
sary. One  or  two  of  the  returas  may 
be  under  each  gutter,  as  piopbsed.  It 
is  hardly  feasible  to  carry  the  returns 
over  the  end  door. 


PITTSBURGH,  PA. 


The  Market. 


The  end  of  June  usually  marks  the 
close  of  the  busy  season  for  florists,  but 
the  cool  weather  has  kept  stock  in  good 
condition  and  business  has  been  excel- 
lent, which  arouses  hope  that  it  will 
continue  for  a  while  longer,  for  this 
has  been  a  record-breaking  season. 

There  are  still  plenty  of  good  flowers. 
These,  together  with  asters,  which  are 
expected  soon,  and  the  early  planted 
roses,  will  provide  the  market  with  a 
plentiful  supply  of  stock. 

Various    Notes. 

Several  employees  of  various  stores 
started  on  their  vacations  June  30. 

The  McCallum  Co.  announced  a  pic- 
nic for  its  employees  at  its  establish- 
ment at  Harmony  July  4  and  invited 
all  of  the  Pittsburgh  florists. 

There  were  two  heavy  wind  storms 
with  an  accompaniment  of  hail  last 
week,  but  no  damage  was  reported. 

Edward  Ludwig,  son  of  E.  C.  Ludwig, 
has  enlisted  in  the  United  States  Army 
Hospital  Corps  and  expects  to  go  to 
the  front  soon.  He  is  a  graduate  of  Cor- 
nell University.  Clarke. 


WILMINGTON,  DEL. 

The  Wilmington  Florists'  Club,  which 
was  organized  in  March,  1917,  held  its 
third  monthly  meeting  June  25  at  the 
home  of  William  N.  Potter,  Twenty- 
ninth  and  Boulevard  streets.  The  club 
at  present  has  no  home  and  meets  with 
its  members.  After  the  business  meet- 
ing, an  entertainment  committee  served 
ice  cream  so  long  as  the  members  could 
eat.  The  next  meeting  will  be  held 
July  30  at  the  home  of  J.  Elmer  Betty. 
The  club  has  proved  to  be  of  great  bene- 
fit to  the  florists  of  Wilmington.

The  Florists'  Review 


JDLY  5,  1917. 


PROVIDENCE,  R.  I. 


The  Market. 


Last  week  brought  material  evi- 
dences of  the  summer  decline,  and  the 
masses  of  outdoor  roses  gave  the  in- 
door stock  a  veritable  black  eye.  Fu- 
neral work  has  fallen  off.  The  month 
of  June,  with  its  weddings,  was,  how- 
ever, especially  busy  and  afforded  a 
general  clean-up  for  the  season. 

The  June   Show. 

Roses  and  strawberries  were  the  fea- 
tures of  the  annual  June  exhibition 
which  the  Rhode  Island  Horticultural 
Society  held  in  the  ballroom  of  the 
Narragansett  hotel  at  Providence,  Fri- 
day, June  29,  afternoon  and  evening. 
The  exhibition  was  far  superior  to  sim- 
ilar shows  in  several  years.  It  was 
originally  scheduled  for  the  previous 
week,  but  owing  to  the  lateness  of  the 
season  the  date  was  changed. 

One  of  the  most  striking  exhibits  was 
of  roses  from  Roger  Williams  park,  of 
which  Fred  C.  Green  is  superintendent. 
This  consisted  of  nearly  fifty  varieties. 
The  long-stemmed  roses  from  the  Burke 
&  Burns  Rose  Co.  attracted  much  atten- 
tion, as  did  the  spikes  of  gladioli  from 
Smith,  the  Florist,  who  also  had  a  bridal 
shower  bouquet  of  marguerites  and 
roses  with  yellow  ribbons.  Opposite 
the  entrance  was  a  novelty  decoration 
from  Macnair  consisting  of  a  circle  of ' 
glass  with  figures  poised  on  the  edges 
fishing,  or  gazing  on  the  crimson  roses 
which  floated  in  the  water.  Asparagus 
ferns  and  a  center  bouquet  of  pink 
completed  the  decoration. 

Another  decorative  table  represented 
a  rock  garden  in  miniature,  set  up  by 
T.  J.  Johnston  &  Co.  (Ed  Brooke).  This 
had  a  fountain  and  illuminated  electric 
bulbs,  bowl  of  water  lilies  and  masses 
of  pyrethrum,  snapdragon,  pine  boughs 
and  other  greens.  In  the  center  of  the 
hall  was  set  a  pyramid  of  boxwood  sur- 
mounted by  the  spreading  cibotium 
fern  with  Boston  fern  intermixed.  Eu- 
gene Appleton  with  a  display  of  deco- 
rative foliage  plants  and  palms  took 
first  prize. 

The  prizes  were  awarded  as   follows

The  Florists'  Review 


July  5,  1917. 


FORT  WAYNE,  IND. 


The  Market. 


Business  during  the  last  week  of  June 
was  good,  considering  the  intensely 
warm  weather  and  heavy  rains.  There 
was  a  good  call  for  wedding  bouquets 
and  small  decorations,  but  there  were 
no  elaborate  affairs.  Counter  trade  was 
slow  and  there  was  no  funeral  work  to 
speak  of.  Blooming  plants  met  with  a 
fairly  good  sale  for  hospitals. 

The  supply  of  greenhouse  stock  was 
equal  to  the  demand,  although  the  hot 
weather  has  had  a  telling  effect  on  the 
quality  of  the  carnations.  They  are, 
however,  exceedingly  plentiful.  Eoses 
are  in  large  supply.  The  quality  has 
suffered  from  the  heat.  Sweet  peas  are 
deteriorating  in  quality.  In  outdoor 
flowers  the  conditions  are  somewhat  bet- 
ter. Some  fine  gladioli  are  arriving 
and  peonies  may  be  had  in  large  quan- 
tities. Irises  are  over  for  the  season, 
but  there  is  much  other  miscellaneous 
stock.  Callas  are  in  large  supply,  but 
valley  is  scarce,  and  the  prices  quoted 
are  liigh.  Orchids  are  in  moderate  sup- 
ply- 
Business  during  June  more  than  came 
up  to  expectations  of  both  wholesalers 
and  retailers.  Not  only  was  there  a 
larger  number  of  weddings  than  during 
the  same  month  of  any  previous  year, 
but  the  outdoor  planting  was  heavier. 
Stock  of  all  kinds  was  of  exceedingly 
fine  quality  this  spring. 

Various  Notes. 

A.  J.  Lanternier  &  Co.,  Frank  J. 
Knecht,  the  Doswell  Floral  Co.  and  the 
Flick  Floral  Co.  donated  flowers  to  the 
Red  Cross  last  week  to  be  sold  for  the 
benefit  of  that  society.  Miss  Georgia 
Alise  Flick,  of  the  Flick  Floral  Co.,  was 
among  the  girls  dressed  in  Red  Cross 
uniforms  who  sold  flowers. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  A.  J.  Lanternier  cele- 
brated their  fifty-second'  wedding  anni- 
versary Friday,  June  29.  In  the  eve- 
ning there  was  a  reunion  of  their  chil- 
dren and  their  children's  families.  Mrs. 
A.  J.  Lanternier  and  Roy  J.  Brown  won 
prizes  at  cards.  The  house  was  elabo- 
rately decorated  with  roses  and  outdoor 
flowers. 

The  Doswell  Floral  Co.  had  some  fine 
Ophelia  and  Richmond  roses  featured 
in  a  window  display  last  week.  They 
report  June  a  satisfactory  month,  judg- 
ing from  the  standpoints  of  supply  and 
demand. 

The  greenhouse  force  of  Frank  J. 
Knecht  &  Co.  is  busy  replanting  stock. 
The  men  are  cutting  heavily  of  roses 
and  carnations.  The  company  has  had 
an  exceedingly  fine  spring  business. 

The  Flick  Floral  Co.  is  showing  some 
excellent  outdoor  stock,  including  gail- 
lardias,  coreopsis,  calliopsis,  Japanese 
irises  and  cornflowers.  The  store  re- 
ports a  record  business  during  the 
month  of  June.  "  R.  F.

which  islthe  BEST,  way  to  kill  weeds? 


The  old  way  has  been  by  hand 
weeding — paying  excessive  la- 
bor costs  several  times  during 
the  year  to  do  the  work. 

But  today  owners  of  estates 
and  homes,  as  well  as  leading 
railroads,  municipalities,  coun- 
try clubs,  parks  and  cemeteries, 
maintain  beautiful  weed-free 
paths,  gutters,  drives,  roads, 
tennis  courts  and  rights  of  way 
by  the  use  of 
ATLAS  WEED  KILLER, 

One  gallon  of  Atlas  clears 


600  sq.  ft.  for  entire  season. 
Weeds  die  a  few  days  after 
first  application — then  no  more 
trouble  for  the  entire  year. 
Compare  with  costly  hand- 
weeding,  which  must  be  done 
over  and  over  again. 

Tell  your  customers  of  the 
economy,  ease  and  effectiveness 
of  using  Atlas.  They'll  appre- 
ciate it — and  you'll  profit. 

It  will  pay  you,  in  profits,  to 
stock  Atlas  Weed  Killer.  All 
details  on  request.

ROCHESTER,  N.  Y. 


The  Market. 


An  unusual  number  of  weddings  and 
funerals,  coupled  with  school  gradua- 
tions, cleared  a  quantity  of  stock  last 
week.  This  class  of  work  constituted 
the  greater  part  of  the  demand. 

The  market  is  filled  with  peonies.  So 
many  are  grown  in  this  neighborhood 
that  the  supply  is  greater  than  the  de- 
mand. About  all  outdoor  stock  is  good 
and  includes  some  fine  gaillardias,  corn- 
flowers, larkspurs,  sweet  williams  and 
Shasta  daisies.  Pink  snapdragons  and 
yellow  irises  also  are  good  and  have  a 
large  call.  The  only  stock  that  seems 
to  be  in  oversupply  is  carnations  of 
the  poorer  grade,  which  clear  only  at 
bargain  prices.  Good  carnations  sell 
at  $8  per  hundred. 

The  demand  for  roses  has  dropped 
and  prices  are  low.  Good  fancy  stock  in- 
cludes Ophelia,  Shawyer,  Sunburst  and 
Scott  Key.  Ward  is  a  good  seller.  There 
are  many  Harrisii  lilies  in  the  market 
and  the  price  is  low.  Outdoor  roses  are 
reaching  the  market  in  large  quantities. 
Fancy  ferns  have  been  scarce,  with  a 
small  supply  of  daggers.  The  market  is 
well  supplied  with  asparagus.  Bedding 
stock  still  is  slow  in  moving  and  good 
plants  are  offered  at  low  prices. 

Various  Notes. 

During  one  of  the  many  recent  elec- 
trical storms  the  house  of  Charles  E. 
Sharpe  at  Sea  Breeze  was  struck  and 
several  boards  torn  from  its  sides.  Mrs. 
Sharpe  and  the  children  were  at  supper 
when  the  house  was  struck,  but  were 
net  injured. 

E.  Kendig,  of  Oswego,  and  N.  A.  Hal- 
laner,  of  Ontario,  N.  Y.,  were  visitors 
at  the  peony  show  last  week. 

Winfred  H.  Wilsoi  has  a  new  Chand- 
ler automobile. 

As  advertisements  for  the  peony  show, 
all  the  stores  had  elaborate  displays  of 
those  blooms  in  their  windows  last 
week. 

Harry  P.  Neun  is  growing  some  good 
hydrangeas,  for  which  he  finds  a  ready 
sale.     He  reports  business  as  excellent. 

William  Dunbar,  son  of  John  Dunbar, 
has  gone  to  Harvard  to  take  a  summer 
course. 

George  T,  Boucher  has  the  decoration 
for  the  boot  and  shoe  show  to  be  held 
early  in  July.

the  last  two  weeks  and  has  added  anoth- 
er saleswoman  to  its  force. 

George  B.  Hart  has  placed  new  signs 
on   his  store. 

Edwin  C.  Kaelber,  Inc.,  had  a  pretty 
window  display  of  old-fashioned  flow- 
ers in  old-fashioned  baskets  last  week.

The  Market. 


Peonies  still  are  plentiful  and  move 
readily.  Koses  also  are  plentiful,  with  a 
large  supply  of  inferior  stock,  especially 
in  short-stemmed.  Carnations  hold  their 
own,  the  good  quality  stock  clearing 
daily.  Miscellaneous  stock  is  in  good 
supply,  but  the  quality  is  not  of  the  best. 
The  supply  of  fancy  ferns  is  erratic. 

Various  Notes. 

O.  C.  Gillie  leaves  July  7  for  Port 
Colborne  for  two  weeks  of  fishing. 

Miss  Gladys  Laneill  and  Harold 
Briggs  Brookins,  of  Orchard  Park,  N.  Y., 
were  married  Tuesday  evening,  June 
26,  at  the  Central  Presbyterian  church. 

W.  J.  Palmer  &  son  inaugurated 
summer  hours  at  the  Delaware  avenue 
store  July  1.  The  store  closes  at  6:30 
p.  m.  daily  and  all  day  Sunday.    A.  E. 


NEWPORT,  R.  I. 


The  Flower  Show. 

The  flower  exhibition  of  the  Newport 
Garden  Association  and  the  Newport 
Horticultural  Society,  July  3  and  4,  was 
for  the  benefit  of  the  American  Red 
Cross.  Although  the  prevailing  custom 
for  many  years  had  been  for  the  gar- 
deners to  receive  the  premium  money, 
they  donated  it  to  the  fund. 

Various  Notes. 

Ralph  Armstrong  arrived  last  week 
from  New  York  for  the  season.  He  is 
associated  this  year  with  Gibson  Bros., 
on  Bellevue  avenue,  having  leased  his 
store  near  the  Casino. 

Joseph  Leikens  shipped  a  carload  of 
plants  and  flowers  to  Boston,  June  29, 
for  the  wedding  of  Prof.  Wendell,  of 
Harvard  University.  W.  H.  M. 


For  Germinating  ^ 


Small  Seed 

From  one  of  our  customers,  George 
Hallock  &  Son,  Orient.  L.  I.,  N.  Y,. 
we  received  the  following: 

"We  also  found  alighi  wetting 
very  beneficial  at  times  in  get- 
ting small  seed  to  come  up  when 
conditions  were  unfavorable  for 
germination.  The  value  of  tliis 
feature  at  times  needs  no  com- 
ment."

NO-SLIP 


THERE  are  two  no-slip  points 
about  our  Half  Iron  Frame 
houses  which  you  don't  want  to  let 
slip  by  without  attention. 

The  first  is:  We  use  angle  iron 
purlins,  because  we  know  that  the 
flat  surface  of  the  angle,  when 
screwed  to  the  bar,  will  hold  the 
bar  against  any  slipping  better 
than  a  pipe  purlin,  with  its  round 
surface. 

And  besides,  if  an  angle  iron 
purlin  is  the  best  for  a  Full  Iron 
Frame  house,  it's  best  for  a  Half 
Iron  one. 


This  is  a  point  we  have  been 
pointing  out  to  you  every  so  often. 
Sometimes  of  Cener. 

The  second  no-slip  point  is  the 
way  we  securely  bolt  the  column 
fitting  to  the  purlin;  and  then  bolt 
it  hard  and  fast  to  the  column  by 
bolting  it  through  aud  through. 

With  no  slip  of  the  bars,  and  no 
chance  of  slip  on  the  column  fit- 
ting, you  overcome  one  of  the  most 
usual  slip-up  points  in  construc- 
tions that  slip. 

You  know  we  go  anywhere  for 
business.    Or  to  talk  business.

interests  elected  the  following  officers: 
President,  D.  S.  Geddis;  vice-president, 
Jules  Bourdet;  secretary  and  treas- 
urer, F.  P.  Maid. 

The  sympathy  of  many  friends  is  ex- 
tended "to  Paddy  Patton,  of  the  Smith 
Wholesale  Floral  Co.,  in  the  death  of 
his  father  last  week. 

William  H.  Kruse  left  this  week  for 
an  automobile  trip  east,  which,  no 
doubt,  will  wind  up  in  New  York  in 
time  for  the  S.  A.  F.  meeting. 

Ostertag  Bros,  put  in  a  busy  week 
with  funeral  work.  John  Burke  says 
other  lines  of  business  have  slowed  up. 
The  trade  will  be  pleased  to  learn  that 
Charles  Ostertag  has  fully  recovered 
from  an  operation  for  appendicitis  and 
will  be  back  at  his  post  this  week. 

Walter  Young,  of  the  C.  Young  & 
Sons  Co.,  returned  last  week  from  Chi- 
cago, where  he  joined  the  aviators  at 
Ashburn.  Mr.  Young  successfully  passed 
the   requirements. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Fred  C.  Weber  left 
July  1  for  the  northern  lakes,  where 
they  will  spend  the  summer.  Mr.  Weber 
is  in  search  of  better  health.  Fred  C, 
Jr.,  assisted  by  his  brother-in-law,  Ar- 
thur Beyer,  is   in  charge. 

Joseph  Wors,  youngest  son  of  Charles 
Wors,  has  joined  the  navy.  When  last 


heard  from  he  was  in  Canada  ready  for 
the  trip  to  the  other  side  of  the  big 
pond. 

Edwa-d  Westmann,  manager  of  Van- 
dervoort  's  flower  department,  says  the 
season  was  better  than  any  other  since 
the  department  was  started,  and  will 
warrant  an  enlargement  of  the  depart- 
ment during  the  coming  season. 

Fred  H.  Weber  has  given  up  his 
Boyle  avenue  store  and  all  business  is 
being  done  at  the  new  store,  Olive  street 
and  Taylor  avenue.  The  new  conserva- 
tory recently  completed  by  the  Amer- 
ican Greenhouse  Mfg.  Co.,  Chicago,  in 
the  rear  of  the  new  store,  is  filled  with 
fine  decorative  plants. 

L.  L.  Harter,  plant  pathologist  of  the 
Bureau  of  Plant  Industry,  spent  a  few 
days  recently  at  the  Missouri  Botanical 
Garden  for  the  purpose  of  examining 
the  Texas  root-rot  fungus. 

George  H.  Angermueller  says  that 
seasonable  advertising  pays  and  that 
his  shipping  trade  this  season  has  dou- 
bled. 

C.  W.  Bolgiano,  of  Washington,  D. 
C,  son  of  F.  W.  Bolgiano,  president  of 
the  American  Seed  Trade  Association, 
spent  a  few  days  here  last  week  visit- 
ing the  various  seed  houses. 

W.  H.  Miller,  of  the  A.  L.  Randall 
Co.,  Chicago,  called  on  the  trade  last 
week.  J.  J.  B. 

The  two  insertions  sold  everything  I

SIITS  HYBRID  YELLOW  POLYANTHUS 


I  had  two  houses  of  Giant  Yellow 
Polyanthus  in  full  crop  at  Easter. 
A  Review  correspondent  saw  them 
March  31st  and  wrote: 

"They  include  some  beautiful  varieties, 
which  are  being  carefully  marked  and 
saved  for  propagation.  One  bed  300  feet 
long,  of  a  pale  yellow  polyanthus,  true  to 
type  in  every  plant,  was  particularly 
fine.  1  measured  individual  flowers  two 
inches  in  djameter  and  many  of  the  stalks 
stood  eighteen  inches  high.  Two  houses, 
each  300  feet  long,  are  devoted  to  this 
crop,  and  a  glorious  sight  they  are." 

But  the  best  of  it  is  they  had  a 
glorious  sale.  You  can  do  as  well 
next  season  if  you  order  your  stock 
now. 

Strong  divisions

These  have  been  in  bloom  constantly  since  November.

SWEET  PEA  SOCIETY 

MEETS  AT  BOSTON 

The  ninth  annual  convention  oj  the  American  Sweet  Pea  Society,  held  in 
Boston  July  7  and  8,  brought  forth  an  excellent  exhibition  from  the  commercial 
growers  and  amateurs  of  New  England.  The  society  at  its  business  meeting 
also  discussed  some  subjects  important  to  the  growers  of  sweet  peas  for  the 
market. 


T^=^^^^|HE  ninth  annual  exhibition 
and  convention  of  the 
American  Sweet  Pea  So- 
ciety was  held  at  Horticul- 
K  j^  tural  hall,  Boston,  July  7 
1^*-*^  and  8  and,  although  the 
^jN^  season  was  late  in  Massa- 
W9  ff^  chusetts  as  elsewhere,  the 
^^^==ii  quality  of  the  flowers  ex- 
hibited was  high.  The 
meeting  was  favored  by  perfect  weaker 
conditions.  For  the  first  time  in  ^he 
liistory  of  the  society  W.  Atlee  Burpee 
&  Co.  had  no  exhibit,  but  local  sweet 
pea  growers  had  more  than  100  varieties, 
occupying  more  than  2,000  feet  of  space. 
Few  flowers  were  in  July  7  and  those 
were  not  of  exhibition  quality,  but 
nearly  all  classes  drew  competition 
July  8. 

George  W.  Kerr,  president  of  the  so- 
ciety, did  not  have 
his  usual  display 
and  the  flowers 
were  much  missed. 
There  were  no  dis- 
plays by  seedsmen. 
Retailers  who  at 
previous  Boston 
shows  made  nice 
exhibits  were  con- 
spicuous by  their 
absence  and  while 
there  were  several 
classes  allotted  to 
them,  none  of  the 
splendid  tubs  o  f 
sweet  peas,  such  as 
were  seen  at  New- 
port and  Bar  Har- 
bor, wore  shown. 

A  Fine  Display. 

Many  local  grow- 
ers who  had  planned 
to  have  exhibits 
did  not  show  at  all. 
Increased  food  pro- 
'luction,  decre.aeed 
flower  production 
and  shortage  of  la- 
bor wore  mainly  re- 
f^ponsible.  Further- 
niore,  the  sweet  pea 
shows  come  at  the 
busiest  season  of 
the  year  for  the  pro- 
fessional producers, 
but,  after  making 
allowances  for  all 
these  shortcomings, 
it  was  a  magnificent 
display  of  flowers. 

The  loading  prize- 
winners   came   from

the  quality  of  the  flowers  splendid  and 
only  a  little  inferior  to  those  seen  in 
the  open  classes. 

The  judges  of  the  exhibition  were 
George  W.  Kerr,  William  Nicholson, 
S.  J.  Goddard,  James  Methven,  W.  N. 
Craig,  Donald  McKenzie,  J.  Harrison 
Dick,  Victor  May,  D.  F.  Roy,  W.  C. 
Rust  and  John  L.  Smith. 

At  the  business  session,  held  in  the 
lecture  room  at  Horticultural  hall,  Presi- 
dent Kerr  presided.  There  was  a  good 
attendance  of  sweet  pea  enthusiasts.  In 
the  absence  of  R.  M.  Saltonstall,  presi- 
dent of  the  Massachusetts  Horticultural 
Society,  William  P.  Rich,  secretary  of 
that  society,  cordially  welcomed  the 
Sweet  Pea  Society  to  Boston. 

President  Kerr  made  his  annual  ad- 
dress and  William  Gray,  the  secretary, 
made  his  annual  report  of  the  activities 

of  the  society.  Wil- 
liam Sim,  the  treas- 
urer, reported  that 
the  financial  condi- 
tion of  the  society 
had  improved  during 
the  year,  there  now 
being  a  balance  of 
$296  in  the  treas- 
ury. On  motion  of 
W.  A.  Sperling,  the 
reports  were  ap- 
proved and  accept- 
ed. The  report  of 
the  executive  com- 
mittee recommend- 
ing that  the  fiscal 
year  of  the  society 
begin  January  1  in- 
stead of  July  1  was 
■  adopted. 

The  Test  Garden. 
Prof.  A.  C.  Beal, 
of  Cornell  Univer- 
sity, in  charge  of 
the  sweet  pea  trial 
grounds  there,  said 
that  the  finances 
liad  been  cut  to  one- 
fourth  tlie  annual 
amount  for  the  lior- 
ticultural  d  e  p  a  r  t- 
ment  and  tost  work 
for  1916,  and  as  a 
result  all  work  on 
annuals  had  to  be 
dropped.  Some  sev- 
enty winter-bloom- 
ing varieties,  in- 
cluding a  number  of 
Australian  sorts, 
were  planted  last 
fall.    Just  about  the

time  the  plants  started  to  bloom  a  leaky 
gas  main  destroyed  practically  th.e  en- 
tire crop  and  no  definite  conclusions 
could  be  drawn  from  the  test  made.  The 
university  now  is  in  a  financial  condi- 
tion to  go  ahead  with*  the  work,  Pro- 
fessor Beal  said,  and  he  hoped  to  in- 
clude as  many  novelties  as  possible 
among  both  indoor  and  outdoor  varie- 
ties. 

Some  discussion  followed  Professor 
Beal's  remarks  and  it  was  decided  to 
endeavor  to  have  a  delegation  of  the 
society's  members  vifeit  the  trial 
grounds  at  Ithaca  during  the  flowering 
season. 

William  Sim  spoke  of  the  prices 
charged  by  California  growers  of  seeds 
of  winter-flowering  sweet  peas.  He  said 
he  would  not  object  to  the  high  prices 
if  the  flowers  came  true  to  name,  but  in 
several  of  his  large  houses  last  season 
not  twenty-five  per  cent  came  true.  This 
meant  a  serious  loss  to  growers,  Mr. 
Sims  said,  as  the  bulk  of  thjp  flowers 
were  of  unsalable  colors. 

Varieties  Do  Not  Come  True. 

W.  N.  Craig  spoke  of  another  man 
who  paid  $20  per  ounce  for  his  seed  and 
little  of  it  came  true  to  name.  Secre- 
tary Gray  said  he  bought  what  should 
have  been  Hercules  from  a  prominent 
seed  house,  sowed  it  in  fall,  kept  it 
potted,  planted  outdoors  early  and  the 
flowers  were  mostly  those  of  Mrs.  Cuth- 
bertson,  with  some  whites  mixed  in. 

It  was  felt  that  the  seedsmen  should 
exercise    greater    care    in    sending    out 


was  voted  to  report  the  idea  to  the 
executive  committee  for  its  considera- 
tion, 

A  letter  from  the  Merchants'  Asso- 
ciation of  New  York,  asking  the  society 
to  hold  its  next  convention  there,  was 
read.  Several  members  favored  meet- 
ing in  New  York  in  1918.  Mr.  Sim  fa- 
vored Boston.  It  was  finally  decided  to 
leave  the  selection  of  the  place  for  the 
1918  meeting  to  the  executive  commit- 
tee with  sentiment  favoring  New  York, 
as  New  England  has  had  successive 
meetings  at  Newport,  Bar  Harbor  and 
Boston. 

OfiQ.cers  Beelected. 

On  motion  of  W.  A.  Sperling  it  was 
voted  to  reelect  the  oflScers  of  the  so- 
ciety for  another  term.  They  are:  Presi- 
dent, George  W.  Kerr,  Doylestown,  Pa.; 
vice-president,  Edwin  Jenkins,  Lenox, 
Mass.;  secretary,  William  Gray,  New- 
port, E.  I.;  treasurer,  William  Sim,  Clif- 
tondale,  Mass. 

Secretary  Gray  stated  that  he  already 
had  some  interesting  articles  in  prepara- 
tion for  the  next  bulletin  and  had  the 
assurance  of  a  good  annual  bulletin  and 
that  he  felt  that  it  would  hold  pres- 
ent members  and  help  to  add  many  new 
ones. 

A  vote  of  thanks  to  the  Massachusetts 
Horticultural  Society  for  the  use  of  the 
building  for  the  show  and  courtesies  ex- 
tended was  passed  on  motion  of  J.  Har- 
rison Dick.

seeds.  George  W.  Kerr  said  he  believed 
the  California  growers  were  doing  their 
best  to  keep  and  send  out  true  stocks. 
He  had  spent  some  time  there  recently 
and  had  seen  between  1,000  and  2,000 
acres  of  sweet  peas  growing. 

J.  Harrison  Dick  spoke  of  the  work 
that  the  Eev.  W.  T.  Hutchins  had  done 
toward  popularizing  the  sweet  pea  in 
America  and  hoped  it  might  be  possible 
to  have  a  Hutchins  memorial  medal  to 
be  offered  each  year  in  the  same  way 
as  the  Eckford  Challenge  cup  is  offered 
in  England.  Messrs.  Sim  and  Gray 
spoke  in  favor  of  such  a  medal  and  it

PRESIDENT  KERR'S  ADDRESS. 

[The  following  is  the  address  of  President 
George  W^  Kerr  in  opening  the  meeting  of  the 
American  Sweet  I'ea  Society  at  Boston,  July  7, 
1917.] 

As  president  of  the  American  Sweet 
Pea  Society,  I  welcome  the  members 
present  to  this,  our  ninth  annual  meet- 
ing, and  the  third  meeting  held  in  Bos- 
ton during  the  last  five  years.  Those 
members  wlio,  like  myself,  have  attend- 
ed all  our  exhibitions  must  have  ob- 
served, the  great  strides  made  in  the 
quality  of  the  exhibits,  tlie  improved 
methods  of  staging  the  flowers,  and 
year  by  year  the  many  new  colors  and 
varieties  which  are  now  exhibited. 

Improved  methods  of  culture  are  of 
course  responsible  for  the  fine  flowers 
we  now  see.  The  day  of  simply  sowing 
our  sweet  peas  in  the  spring  where  they 
are  intended  to  flower  and  cutting  there- 
from blooms  to  win  cups  or  premier 
honors  in  keen  competition,  is  indeed 
past.  But,  might  I  sound  a  note  of 
warning  against  growing  our  plants  so 
strongly  as  to  induce  coarseness  of 
flower?  Although  I  admire  large  flow- 
ers, I  abhor  any  suspicion  of  coarse- 
ness, as  it  immediately  detracts  from 
the  dainty  simplicity  of  the  sweet  peas. 

I  regret  that  owing  to  the  backward 
season  I  am  unable  to  make  an  exhibit 
today.  The  plants  which  were  being 
specially  grown  for  my  firm  in  tlie 
neigliborhood  of  Boston  are  only  now 
sh(P.ving  a  few  scattered  flowers,  and 
I  am  sorry  that  I  am  not  tlie  only  ex- 
hibitor whose  plants  are  yet  so  back- 
ward. However,  we  unfortunates  must 
hope  for  better  luck  at  our  next  con- 
vention. 

Financial  Condition  Better. 

The  society  is  greatly  indebted  to  two 
of   its  members,  who  by  their  untiring 


efforts  assisted  the  treasury  so  mate- 
rially last  fall.  I  refer  to  Messrs.  Totty 
and  Stalford.  The  thanks  of  the  society 
must  also  be  extended  to  Mr.  Morse,  of 
San  Francisco,  who  in  the  fall  of  1915 
was  instrumental  in  securing  for  us 
several  much  needed  subscriptions. 

Since  our  last  annual  meeting  we  have 
lost  the  active  services  of  the  moving 
spirit  of  the  American  Sweat  Pea  So- 
ciety, in  fact,  one  who  was  instrumen- 
tal in  organizing  the  society,  namely 
Harry  A.  Bunyard,  who  served  the  so- 
ciety in  the  capacity  of  secretary  since 
its  inception  and  to  whom  we  owe  our 
lieartiest   thanks. 

Your  comniTtt^xT  was,  however,  for- 
tunate in  securing  the  services  of  an- 
otlier  able  and  capable  secretary,  one 
who  knows  sweet  peas  from  A  to  Z,  and 
is  also  able  to  grow  them  to  perfection. 
We  have  not  yet  forgotten  Mr.  Gray's 
sweet  jieas  exliibited  at  tlie  last  sweet 
pea  show  lield  in  New  York  in  1914. 

Tliat  tlie  sweet  pea  still  retains  its 
]»ride  of  place  as  first  favorite  among  all 
annuals,  can  not  be  gainsaid.  Had  I 
had  any  doubt  of  its  preeminence,  such 
doubts  would  have  been  shattered  dur- 
ing my  recent  visit  to  the  seed  growing 
district  of  California,  wliere  I  had  the 
great  jileasure  of  looking  over  from 
1,000  to  L',000  acres  of  this  cliarming 
flower.  It  naturally  made  one  wonder 
wiiere  all  the  seed  went  to. 

New  Type  a  Winner. 

The  new  type  of  sweet  peas,  namely 
the  early-flowering  Spencers,  is  des- 
tined to  still  further  enhance  its  popu- 
larity. In  addition  to  its  value  for 
winter  flowering  under  glass,  this  type 
will  flourish  in  warm  climates  wliere 
the  summer-flowering  varieties  are  al- 
most valueless.  For  iustnncc,  from  sow- 
ings made  in  Florida  in  late  September, 
the  new  early-flowering  Spencers  will 
begin  to  bloom  by  Christmas  and  con- 
tinue flowering  until  May.  They  are 
also  valuable  for  extending  our  bloom- 
ing season  in  the  north.  I 'understand 
that  they  are  now  being  grown  to  the 
exclusion  of  all  other  types  in  Aus- 
tralia. 

In  closing  might  I  urge  the  members 
to  assist  our  society  by  inducing  their

flower-loving  friends  to  become  mem- 
bers? 

Every  subscription  helps,  and  now 
that  we  have  our  heads  well  above 
water,  let  us  with  united  effort  make 
what  is  at  present  a  comparativeh'  small 
society  a  large  and  flourishing  one. 

Our  thanks  must  be  extended  to  Mr. 


Gray,  our  secretary,  for  his  unceasing 
work  on  our  behalf  during  the  past  win- 
ter and  spring;  also  to  Mr.  Dick  for  his 
careful  compilation  of  our  first  bulletin. 
Messrs.  Gray  and  Dick  are  aiming  at 
something  more  pretentious  in  our  next 
bulletin,  and  we  must  all  do  our  best 
to  help  them.

THE  RETAIL

FLORIST 


PREVENTING  EXPEESS  LOSS. 


Max  Schling's  Plan. 

During  exhibition  week  last  winter 
the  legislative  committee  of  the  S,  A. 
r.  joined  me  in  my  efforts  to  secure 
better  shipping  conditions  from  the 
express  companies.  We  had  a  meeting 
at  that  time  with  three  vice-presidents 
of  the  express  companies,  for  which 
meeting  I  had  arranged  previously,  and 
they,  after  an  hour's  discussion,  de- 
cided to  look  into  our  complaints  and 
try  to  assist  us  as  much  as  possible  to 
secure  better  service. 

Since  that  time  I  have  kept  working 
on  this  matter  and  finally,  after  several 
consultations  with  these  men,  suc- 
ceeded in  securing  a  label,  copy  of 
which  I  enclose.  This  label  is  good  for 
plant  or  flower  shipping,  and  will  be 
sent  throughout  the  country  to  be 
placed  on  the  bulletin  boards  of  the 
different  express  companies.  In  this 
way  it  is  made  an  official  label. 

The  cost  of  the  label  is  $1.50  per 
thousand.  Anyone  desiring  to  secure 
some  should  write  to  me,  enclosing  the 
additional  cost  of  postage,  as  the  price 
is  net  to  us.     They  can  be  secured  in 


lots  of  500  or  1,000,  or  in  such  quanti- 
ties  as  anyone  wants  to  buy. 

Express  Companies  Cooperate. 

This  is  not  the  only  privilege  I  se- 
cured. We  florists  told  the  express 
companies  that  we  would  gladly  pay  an 
additional  charge  to  secure  quick  serv- 
ice and  would  gladly  pay  for  telephone 
calls  which  this  quick  service  at  times 
necessitates.  The  exprebs  companies 
cannot  go  into  this  matter  on  that  basis. 
The  Interstate  Commerce  Commission 
does  not  allow  them  to  change  rates, 
even  with  our  consent,  and  their  sys- 
tem does  not  allow  them  to  incur  ex- 
penses for  a  shipper.  To  collect  these 
small  items  the  companies  would  have 
to  go  through  the  same  routine  as  if 
a  package  had  been  shipped.  There- 
fore, they  decided  to  p^y  the  cost  of 
the  additional  telephone  calls  wherever 
necessary. 

I  am  willing  to  keep  on  working  on 
this  matter,  and  I  hope  within  a  short 
time  to  find  a  way  which  will  insure 
us  against  any  unnecessary  loss. 

I  will  bring  this  matter  before  the 
interested  parties  during  convention 
week  in  New  York.  Therefore,  I  would 
ask   any  parties  interested  in   express- 


FLOWERS       HIGHLY  PERISHABLE

If  Immediate  delivery  of  this  package  can- 
noi.be  effected,  conynunlcate  with  conslsnee  by 
telepiidne"or~otherwiee,  advlsinc  of  arrival  of

not be  made.  Your  assistance  In  expediting 
delivery  will  be  appreciated.

age  to  write  or  call  and  arrange  for  a 
meeting  on  express  matters  in  New 
York  during  convention  week.  The 
best  way  would  be  for  the  different 
florists  in  the  different  states,  or  the 
different  florists'  associations,  to  elect 
a  delegate,  who  would  call  on  me  and 
work  with  me.  The  influence  of  one, 
alone,  never  can  secure  so  much  as  a 
body  of  men,  each  one  willing  to  do  a 
little  work.  I  am  sure  that  if  I  keep 
on  working  in  this  direction,  we  shall  be 
able  to  do  some  good  for  ourselves  and 
others  in  our  business.

FAST  WORK  AT  UNIONTOWN,  PA. 

The  store  of  Stenson  &  McGrail, 
Uniontown,  Pa.,  was  a  busy  place  June 
29.  One  of  Uniontown 's  prominent 
citizens  had  died  and  Stenson  &  Mc- 
Grail were  called  on  for  a  number  of 
funeral  pieces.  Three  members  of  the 
store's  force  turned  out  the  work  shown 
in  the  accompanying  illustration  in  four 
hours.  Nearly  all  the  flowers  used  were 
grown  by  the  firm,  showing,  as  the  pro- 
prietors of  the  store  expressed  it,  "that 
even  in  our  small  town  we  sometimes 
have  to  get  a  move  on."

REASONS     rOR     CONSOLIDATING. 

Announcement  recently  was  made  in 
The  Review  of  the  purchase  of  the 
Indianapolis  retail  interests  of  the  E.  G. 
Hill  Co.  by  Bertermann  Bros.  Co.  The 
following  notice  recently  was  given  the 
public  in  that  city: 

CONSOLIDATED. 
Bertermann  Bros.  Co.  E.  G.  Hill  Floral  Co. 

To  give  still  better  service  and  prices;  to  main- 
tain one  of  the  best  flower  shops  in  the  country; 
to  combine  selling  forces,  to  enable  the  public 
and  agents  of  botli  firms  in  Indiana  and  sur- 
rounding states  to  use  fresh  Cumberland  flowers; 
to  promote  the  selling  of  flowers  by  wire;  to 
secure  and  give  the  same  advantage  of  other 
large  local  firms  by  merging;  to  greet  friends  of 
both  firms  and  show  every  courtesy  possible,  are 
our  reasons.

EFFECTIVE    JULY    1,    1917. 

With  the  consolidation  of  interests 
the  number  of  first-class  flower  stores 
in  Indianapolis  is  reduced  by  one  and 
the  E.  G.  Hill  Co.  is  out  of  the  retail 
business,  the  Cincinnati  store  having 
been  taken  over  by  Joseph  Hill  at 
the  time  he  established  his  independent 
business.  The  E.  G.  Hill  Co.,  Richmond, 
now  will  devote  its  entire  energies  to 
the  wholesale  trade,  specializing  in 
roses  and  young  stock  in  the  novelty 
line.

The  Florists  Review 


15 


EOTARY  FLORISTS  CONVENE. 

The  question  of  charging  for  pack- 
ing, the  cost  of  fuel  and  war-time 
prices  of  flowers  were  among  the  sub- 
jects discussed  by  the  assembled  Eotary 
florists  at  last  month's  annual  conven- 
tion of  the  International  Association 
of  Rotary  Clubs,  held  at  Atlanta,  Ga. 
E.  Irving  Gresham,  of  the  Dahl  Floral 
Co.,  Atlanta,  was  elected  chairman  of 
the  florists'  unit  in  Eotary  and  Thomas 
Joy,  of  Nashville,  Tenn.,  wa^  reelected 
secretary-treasurer. 

It  was  recommended  that  the  adver- 
tising in  the  o&cial  organ  of  the  inter- 
national organization  be  continued  next 
year  and  that  Chairman  Gresham  and 
Secretary  Joy  endeavor  to  have  all 
florist  Eotarians  contribute  toward  the 
advertising  fund.  The  secretary  was 
authorized  to  prepare  a  roster  of  the 
country's  Eotary  florists  and  to  supply 
each  member  with  a  copy,  to  make  for 
accuracy  in  the  exchange  of  telegraph 
and  mail  orders.  It  was  proposed  to 
appoint  a  sub-chairman  in  each  Eotary 
district,  whose  duty  it  shall  be  to  so- 
licit the  interest  and  financial  aid  of 
all  members  in  his  territory. 


ILLINOIS  FLORISTS  TO  MEET. 

The  fell  meeting  of  the  Illinois  State 
Florists'  Association  will  be  held  in 
the  armory  at  Galesburg,  111,,  November 
6  and  7.  President  Pillsbury  says  the 
intention  is  to  have  a  big  flower  exhi- 
bition as  a  side  show  for  the  public. 


FLORISTS  AND  THE  DRAFT. 

The  selective  draft  by  which  the 
men  who  registered  June  5  for  service 
in  the  United  States  army  will  be  se- 
lected is  expected  to  be  made  soon  and 
the  drafted  men  called  to  the  colors 
September  1.  In  the  meantime  Presi- 
dent Wilson  has  announced  the  regula- 
tions which  will  govern  exemptions 
from  service. 

These  regulations  which  will  affect 
the  young  men  in  the  florists'  trade  are: 

Physical  disability. 

Having  a  dependent  wife  or  child; 
being  a  son  of  a  dependent  widow;  a 
son  of  aged,  dependent  or  infirm  parent, 
or  brother  of  a  dependent  orphan  child 
under  16  years  of  age. 

Subjects  of  Germany  and  all  other 
aliens  who  have  not  taken  out  their 
first  papers. 

Being  morally  deficient. 

Being  a  member  of  any  well-recog- 
nized religious  sect  existing  May  18, 
1917,  whose  creed  forbids  participation 
in  war  and  whose  religious  conscience 
is  in  accord  with  that  creed. 

Physical  disability,  of  course,  will 
mean  the  rejection  of  the  drafted  man 
whether  he  wills  or  not.  Exemption 
under  any  of  the  other  provisions  must 
be  claimed  and  will  be  passed  upon  by 
the  local  exemption  board.  An  appeal 
from  the  decision  of  this  board  may  be 
taken  to  the  district  board. 

It  is  certain  that  when  President  Wil- 
son designates  certain  industries  as  nec- 
essary to  the  maintenance  of  the  mili- 
tary organization,  that  of  florists  will 
not  be  among  them.  Employment  in 
one  of  these  industries,  however,  will 
not  be  absolute  ground  for  exemption. 
It  must  be  shown  that  the  person  seek- 
ing exemption  is  necessary  to  the  in- 
dustry and  cannot  be  replaced  by  an- 
other person  without  detriment  to  that 
industry.

I^IWING  GRE5HAM 

WITH  Sia/i^  THE  fLOR] 


DOWN  at  Atlanta,  Ga.,  there  is  a  live  wire  florist,  E.  Irving  Gresham,  for  many 
years  associated  with  the  C.  A.  Dahl  Co.  Mr.  Gresham  knows  nothing  of  sloth ; 
he  is  busy  every  moment  and  he  uses  his  head  as  well  as  his  hands  in  his  business.  So 
when  the  Eotarians  held  their  annual  meeting  at  Atlanta  a  few  days  ago  it  was  only 
natural  that  the  local  newspaper  artist  should  cartoon  Gresham  as  the  symbol  of  the 
Atlanta  florists'  welcome  to  the  visitors.  And  it  was  much  as  a  matter  of  course  that 
the  florists  in  Eotary — 173  of  them,  also  progressives  and  good  fellows — should  elect 
Gresham  chairman  of  the  florists'  section  of  the  International  Association  of  Eotary 
Clubs.  He  says  it  will  be  his  purpose  during  his  term  of  office  to  get  a  florist  into  each 
of  the  127  local  Eotary  clubs  not  now  so  fortunate. 


By  the  nature  of  his  occupation,  the 
young  man  in  the  florists'  trade,  espe- 
cially the  growing  end,  will  come  near 
the  physically  ideal  for  a  soldier.  His 
employment  in  pure  air  indoors  and  out 
and  his  activity  make  for  good  health, 
which  is  a  prime  requisite  among  the 
qualities  of  a  good  fighting  man.

Columbus,  O. — It  was  announced  in 
one  of  the  papers  the  other  day  that 
F.  C,  Krouse  &  Co.  would  give  away 
cabbage  plants  on  a  certain  day,  provid- 
ing the  2,000  plants  on  hand  had  not 
been  sold  by  tliat  date.  Cabbage  plants 
are  none  too  plentiful,  and  free  offers 
usually  get  space  in  the  papers.  Now, 
does  everybody  see  the  point?  It  is 
clever  "stuff."

I'\  joiiiod  nic  ill  my  (dforts  to  soi-ure 
better  sliippiii^f  coiiditioiis  from  the 
express  eompaiiics.  We  had  a  inectiii<j; 
at  tliat  time  witli  tliree  vice-pre.sidents 
of  the  express  coiiipaiiies,  for  wliicli 
meeting  1  had  arranged  previously,  and 
they,  after  an  hour's  discussion,  de- 
cided to  look  into  our  complaints  and 
try  to  assist  us  as  miicli  as  jiossible  to 
seeure  better  service, 
.^iiice  that  time  1  have  kejtt  Avorkinir 
on  this  matter  and  liiially,  after  several 
consultations  with  these  men,  suc- 
ceeded in  securinji  a  label,  copy  of 
which  1  enclose.  Tliis  label  is  <^ood  for 
plant  or  fb)wer  shii>i»injj,  and  will  be 
sent  tludiijihout  the  ccumtry  to  be 
placed  on  the  l)ulletin  Itoards  of  the 
different  express  compaiiii\s.  In  this 
way  it  is  made  an  otlicial  label. 

The  cost  of  the  label  is  $1.50  per 
thousand.  Anyone  desiriii*^  to  secure 
some  sliould  write  to  me,  eiudosing  the 
additional  cost  of  ]io.stage,  as  the  price 
is   net   to    us.     Tlie\-   can   be   secured   in 


CO 


lots  of  nOO  or  1,000,  or  in  such   quanti- 
ties  as   anyone    wants   to   buy. 

Express  Companies  Cooperate. 

This  is  not  the  only  jirivilege  I  se- 
•ured.       We    florists    told    tlie     express 

ni])anies  tiiat  we  would  gladly  ])ay  an 
additional  charge  to  secure  quick  serv- 
ice and  would  gladly  pay  for  telephone 
calls  which  this  quick  service  at  times 
necessitates.  The  exjiret^s  companies 
cannot  go  into  this  matter  on  that  basis. 
Tii(»  Interstate  Commerce  Commission 
(b>es  not  allow  them  to  change  rates, 
even  with  our  consent,  and  their  sys- 
tem (b>es  not  allow  them  to  incur  ex- 
penses for  a  shi[)i»er.  To  collect  these 
small  items  the  companies  would  have 
to  go  througli  the  same  routine  as  if 
a  ])ackage  had  been  shipped.  There- 
fore, they  decided  to  ]iay  the  cost  of 
the  additional  telephone  calls  wherever 
necessary. 

I  am  willing  to  keep  on  working  on 
this  matter,  and  T  hope  witliin  a  short 
time  to  iiiid  a  way  whicli  will  insure 
us  against  any   unnecessary  loss. 

T  will  bring  this  matter  before  the 
interested  ]>arties  during  convention

ask    any    jiarties   interested    in    express-

FAST  WORK  AT  UNIONTOWN,  PA. 

Tlie  store  of  Stenson  &  McGrail, 
T'nioiitowii,  Pa.,  was  a  bu.sy  place  Juno 
2i>.  One  of  Uniontown's  prominent 
citizens  had  died  and  Stenson  &  Mc-

funeral  pieces.  Three  members  of  the 
store's  force  turned  out  the  work  shown 
in  the  accompanying  illustration  in  four 
liours.  Nearly  all  the  flowers  used  were 
grown  by  the  firm,  showing,  as  the  pro-

ROTARY  FLORISTS   CONVENE. 

The  (luestion  of  charging  for  juick- 
iiig,  tlic  fost  (if  iuel  ;iiiil  ^v;u•-tillle 
pricos  of  llowers  were  among  tlic  sub-

llurists  at  last  inoiitli's  aiiuuul  t'ouveii- 
1ion  of  tlie  luteniatioual  Assoriatiou 
(if  Eotary  Clul)s,  held  at  Atlanta,  (ia. 
1{.  Irving  Gresham,  of  the  Dahl  Floral 
('().,  Atlanta,  was  elected  chairman  of 
tiie  florists'  unit  in  liotary  and  Thomas 
Joy,  of  Nashville,  Tenn.,  was  rccdected 
secretary-treasurer. 

It  was  recommended  that  the  adver- 
iising  in  the  oflicial  organ  of  the  inter- 
national organization  be  continued  next 
roar  and  that  Chairman  Gresham  and 
Secretary  Joy  endeavor  to  have  all 
;lorist  liotarians  contribute  toward  the 
.-idvertising  fund.  The  secretary  was 
luthorized  to  prepare  a  roster  of  the 
.ountry's  Kotary  florists  and  to  supjdy 
(\ach  meml)er  with  a  copy,  to  make  for 
accuracy  in  the  exchange  of  telegraph 
and  mail  orders.  It  was  proposed  to 
appoint  a  sub-chairman  in  each  liotary 
district,  whose  duty  it  shall  be  to  so- 
licit the  interest  and  financial  aid  of 
all  members  in  his  territory. 


ILLINOIS  FLORISTS  TO  MEET. 

Tlie  fall  meeting  of  the  Illinois  State 
Florists'  Association  will  be  held  in 
the  armory  at  Galesburg,  111.,  Xovcmlier 
0  and  7.  President  Pillsbury  says  the 
intention  is  to  have  a  big  flower  exhi- 
bition as  a  side  sliow  for  tlie  public. 


FLORISTS  AND   THE  DRAFT. 

The  selective  draft  by  which  the 
men  who  registered  June  5  for  service 
m  the  United  States  army  will  be  se- 
lected is  expected  to  be  made  soon  and 
the  drafted  men  called  to  the  colors 
September  1.  In  the  meantime  Presi- 
dent Wilson  has  announced  the  regula- 
tions which  will  govern  exemptions 
from  service. 

These  regulations  which  will  affect 
the  young  men  in  the  florists'  trade  are: 

Pliysical   disability. 

Having  a  dependent  wife  or  child; 
being  a  son  of  a  dcjiendent  widow;  a 
son  of  aged,  dependent  or  infirm  parent, 
or  brother  of  a  dei)endent  orpliau  child 
under  IG  years  of  age. 

Subjects  of  Germany  and  all  other 
aliens  wlio  have  not  taken  out  their 
first    ii;i|>ers. 

Being   morally   deficient. 

Being  a  member  of  any  well-recog- 
nized religious  sect  existing  May  18, 
1917,  whose  creed  forbids  participation 
in  war  and  whoso  religious  conscience 
is  in  accord  witli  that  creed. 

Physical  disaliility,  of  course,  will 
mean  the  rejection  (.f  the  draftoil  man 
whether  he  wills  or  not.  Exemjitiou 
under  any  of  the  otlier  provisions  must 
lie  claimed  and  will  be  passed  upon  by 
the  local  exemption  board.  An  ajtjieal 
from  the  deeisiim  of  this  board  may  be 
taken   to  the   district  board. 

It  is  certain  that  when  President  Wil- 
son designates  certain  industries  as  v.cr- 
essary  to  the  m;iintenanc(^  of  the  mili- 
tary organi/ati(Ui,  that  of  florists  will 
not  be  among  them.  Employment  in 
one  of  these  industries,  however,  will 
not  be  absolute  ground  fur  exemption. 
It  must  be  shown  that  the  persoti  seek- 
ing (^\em|itioii  is  neci'ssavy  tn  the  in- 
dustry and  c'lniiot  b(>  replacc^d  bv  an-

The  Florists  Review 


July  12,  1917. 


FLIMFLAMMING  THE   PUBLIC. 


But  the  PubUc  Wakes  Up. 

The  daily  newspapers,  which  hailed 
the  coal  price  fixing  agreement  pulled 
off  at  Washington  as  a  wonderful  thing 
for  the  people,  one  by  one  are  coming 
around  to  the  view  expressed  by  The 
Beview  in  reporting  the  affair,  that  it 
was  not  what  it  purported  to  be;  that 
it  was  in  reality  an  affirmation  of  ex- 
tortionate mine  mouth  prices  and  in  no 
sense  a  reduction. 

The  Chicago  Tribune,  which  was  one 
of  the  papers  that  gave  the  "reduc- 
tion" the  biggest  send-off,  now  declares 
that  ' '  the  coal  mine  owners  of  Illinois 
and  Indiana  still  have  the  soft  coal  sit- 
uation by  the  tail." 

The  Operators'   Side. 

May  29  the  Tribune  printed  an  arti- 
cle showing  that  June  1,  1916,  the  price 
of  Illinois  soft  coal  screenings  at  the 
mine  mouth  was  from  80  cents  to  $1  a 
ton.  It  also  stated  that  May  29,  1917, 
the  price  of  the  same  coal  under  the 
same  conditions  was  $2.75  a  ton. 

In  an  effort  to  make  a  fair  statement 
of  the  changed  conditions  which  justi- 
fied such  an  enormous  increase  in  the 
price  of  coal,  George  H.  Gushing,  editor 
of  the  Black  Diamond,  organ  of  the  coal 
mine  owners,  was  asked  to  say  in  what 
particulars  and  to  what  extent  the  cost 
of  producing  coal  in  the  Illinois  district 
had  increased.  These  figures  are  as  fol- 
lows:

Accepting  these  figures  at  their  face 
value — and  otlier  experts  say  they  are 
much  too  liberal — the  justified  price  for 
soft  coal  at  the  pit  mouth  June  1,  1917, 
was  something  like  $1.55  a  ton. 

The  price  then  prevailing  was  $2.75  a 
ton,  which  gives  an  additional  profit 
of  $1.20  a  ton  over  and  above  that 
reaped  by  the   miners  in   1916. 

When  asked  to  explain  and  to  justify, 
if  possible,  this  addition  of  $1.20  a  ton 
on  top  of  the  allowance  for  increased 
cost  of  production,  Mr.  Gushing  hesitat- 
ed and  evaded. 

'Terhaps  they  did  it  because  they 
thought  they  could  get  the  money,"  it 
was  suggested. 

"I  guess  that's  about  it,"  he  replied. 

Much  Coal  Is  Stored. 

The  mine  operators  were  hailed  as 
patriots  for  agreeing  to  a  price  of  $2.75. 
It  mav  be  that  the  patriotism  was 
shown  by  their  not  raising  the  prices  to 
still  higher  figures. 

No  llorist  lias  been  able  to  find  a 
place  wlicre  he  could  buy  coal  at  prices 
reduced  since  July  1,  but  even  before 
the  conference  in  Washington,  consum- 
ers of  coal  were  being  urged  to  lay  in 
•  at  once  their  supply  of  fuel  for  con- 
sumption next  winter.  To  a  large  ex- 
tent they  took  that  advice. 

Perhaps  the  largest  distributor  of  coal 
in  Chicago  reports  that  during  June  he 
actuallv    delivered    in    Chicago    nearly 


three  times  as  much  coal  to  customers 
as  during  the  same  month  in  1916.  The 
same  report  is  made  by  other  large  deal- 
ers. It  is  estimated  that,  on  the  whole, 
more  than  one-tenth  of  the  total  supply 
needed  for  consumption  next  winter  was 
put  in  the  bins  in  June. 

Public  Stops  Buying. 

When  the  famous  conference  of  coal 
mine  owners  was  held  in  Washington  it 
was  announced  in  the  newspapers  that 
a  drop  of  from  $1  to  $5  a  ton  would  fol- 
low by  July  1.  That  was  followed  by 
the  vitriolic  attack  made  on  the  work  of 
the  conference  by  Secretary  of  the 
Navy  Daniels  and  Secretary  of  War 
Baker.  Promptly,  also,  came  an  official 
circular  of  the  Illinois  mine  owners, 
quoting  prices  which  show  no  reduction 
whatever. 

The  result  has  been  that,  to  a  large 
extent,  consumers  have  stopped  buying 
coal  for  storage.  Dealers  complain  quite 
generally  that  their  delivery  teams  are 
standing  idle  in  the  barns.  It  is  also 
true  that  large  dealers  are  not  storing 
coal  in  their  yards.  There  is  an  ex- 
tremely small  supply  now  on  the  ground 
in  Chicago.^  j^nd  some  of  the  largest 
dealers  are  advising  their  customers  not 
to  buy  and  store  coal  at  present.  They 
are  themselves  waiting  for  the  price  at 
the  mine  mouth  to  drop. 

STOP    MANURE    WASTE. 

Farmers  are  urged  by  Assistant  Sec- 
retary Carl  Vrooman,  of  the  United 
States  Department  of  Agriculture,  to 
make  every  effort  to  save  the  vast 
amount    of    valuable    manure    now    al- 


lowed to  go  to  waste  in  this  country. 
Assistant  Secretary  Vrooman  estimates 
that  one-half  the  manure  produced  in 
the  United  States  is  not  used  as  a 
fertilizer,  there  being  an  annual  loss 
of  material  worth  $1,200,000,000— one 
and  one-half  times  the  value  of  the 
country's  1916  wheat  crop. 

"This  is  not  a  wild  guess,"  he  con- 
tinues, "but  a  shrewd  and  conservative 
estimate  based  on  reliable  statistics.  It 
has  been  found  that  each  horse  or  mule 
produces  annually  $27  worth  of  ma- 
nure (as  compared  with  commercial 
fertilizers);  each  head  of  cattle  $20 
worth;  each  hog  $8  worth.  Calculating 
from  the  1910  census  figures  for  number 
of  animals  on  farms,  the  total  value  of 
manure  produced  is  found  to  be  about 
$2,461,000,000.  Recent  investigations 
by  the  Department  of  Agriculture  indi- 
cate that  at  least  half  of  this  great 
wealth  of  fertilizing  material  is  sheer 
waste.  In  some  good  general  farming 
sections  not  more  than  fifteen  per  cent 
of  the  manure  produced  is  used.  Even 
in  the  most  intensive  dairy  regions, 
where  cows  are  largely  stall  fed  and 
comparatively  great  care  taken  with 
the  manure,  the  loss  seems  to  be  ap- 
proximately twenty-five  per  cent. 

"This  great  war  has  brought  home 
to  us  Americans,  as  it  has  never  been 
emphasized  before,  the  fact  that  we  are 
the  world's  champion  wasters.  With- 
out making  any  comparisons,  and  sub- 
ject to  correction  if  it  can  be  shown 
that  the  facts  are  otherwise,  I  dare  aver 
that  our  $1,000,000,000  manure  waste  is 
the  world's  greatest  single  economic 
leak — the  prize  waste  of  the  champion 
wastrels.  With  commercial  fertilizers 
scarce,  and  some  of  them  almost  unob- 
tainable, it  would  seem  well  worth  our 
while,  in  this  juncture,  even  without 
any  reference  to  war  conditions,  to  do 
everything  within  our  power  to  stem 
this  tide  of  loss,  especially  in  considera- 
tion of  the  fact  that  stable  manure  is 
the  best  form  of  fertilizer  known." 


IRRIGATION  AND  BENCHING. 


Too  Much  Water  Harmful. 

Early  in  the  spring  we  promised  to 
have  something  to  say  about  irrigating 
the  carnation  field,  having  in  mind  the 
need  of  artificial  watering  in  case  of  a 
repetition  of  last  summer's  absence  of 
rain.  So  far  this  season  there  has  been 
ample  rainfall,  at  least  in  this  section, 
and  there  probably  has  been  absolutely 
no  need  for  additional  w^atering  of  the 
carnation  plants.  Therefore,  unless  you 
already  possess  a  sprinkling  outfit  and 
installed  it  after  the  planting  was  fin- 
ished, to  be  used  when  necessary,  you 
will  probably  not  have  any.  There  are, 
however,  some  of  these  systems  in- 
stalled, and  to  the  owners  of  these  we 
want  to  direct  a  few  timely  remarks. 

There  can  be  no  denying  the  fact  that 
a  sprinkling  system  will  prove  a  great 


help  in  producing  field-grown  carnation 
plants,  if  it  is  used  intelligently.  On  the 
other  hand,  it  can  prove  just  the  oppo- 
site, if  a  proper  degree  of  judgment  is 
not  exercised  in  using  it.  There  is  al- 
ways present  a  great  danger  of  overdo- 
ing a  good  thing,  and  especially  is  it 
true  in  this  case. 

A  plentiful  supply  of  water  usually  will 
result  in  a  strong  growth,  and  the  nat- 
ural tendency  is  to  give  the  plants  all 
the  water  they  want.  This  probably  is 
the  correct  thing  to  do  during  the 
months  of  May  and  June,  during  which 
time  the  plant  is  practically  made.  Be- 
ginning with  the  first  of  July,  however, 
the  grower  must  begin  to  work  the  plant 
into  proper  condition  for  lifting  rather 
than  to  encourage  its  growth.  That 
can  only  be  done  by  withholding  the 
water  and  cultivating  the  field,  and 
that  is  where  judgment  will  come  into 
play.  If  the  plants  have  had  an  abun- 
dance of  water,  it  will  not  do  to  allow 
them  to  go  to  the  other  extreme  too 
quickly,  or  they  will  begin  to  fire  and

lose  the  lower  foliage.  Especially  is 
this  true  if  you  do  not  cultivate  the 
plants  frequently;  in  fact,  frequent  cul- 
tivation will  prove  of  the  greatest  help 
in  keeping  the  soil  in  proper  condition. 

Condition  Goes  Before  Size. 

A  large,  soft  plant  will  not  transplant 
well,  but  a  well  matured  plant  that  has 
been  run  rather  on  the  dry  side  for  a 
few  weeks  before  planting  time,  re- 
gardless of  the  size,  usually  will  com? 
through  without  trouble.  For  this  rea- 
son we  are  always  mindful  of  the 
condition  of  the  plants,  rather  than 
their  size,  at  planting  time.  Experience 
has  taught  us  that  a  medium-sized  plant 
in  good  condition  for  transplanting  will 
soon  overtake  a  large  plant  that  lingers 
for  several  weeks  before  it  really  is 
under  way.  It  should  be  borne  in  mind, 
however,  that  we  are  saying  nothing 
against  a  large  plant  which  is  properly 
matured  for  planting. 

The  time  is  here  to  prepare  the 
benches  for  replanting.  Do  not  lengthen 
the  work  any  more  than  is  necessary, 
as  every  day  lost  will  mean  just  that 
much  less  time  for  the  new  plant  to 
make  its  growth.  Empty  benches  pro- 
duce no  revenue;  put  on  enough  men 
to  push  the  work  along.  If  possible, 
refill  a  whole  house  at  one  time.  You 
will  find  it  much  easier  to  handle  a 
whole  house  of  newly  planted  carna- 
tions than  part  of  a  house  of  them. 
When  refilling  the  benches,  see  that  the 
soil  is  well  pulverized  and  that  the 
bench  is  properly  filled  along  the  edges, 
and  level  the  soil  off  nicely  as  you  go 
along.  Place  an  inch  of  strawy  manure 
on  the  bottom  of  the  bench  before  fill- 
ing in  the  soil,  and  before  filling  make 
sure  that  the  bench  will  go  through  the 
next  season  without  breaking  down. 
There  is,  perhaps,  nothing  more  vexing 
than  to  have  a  bench  give  way  under 
a  batch  of  high-grade  stock.

GREEN  APHIS  ON  CARNATIONS. 

I  am  sending  you  three  plants  of  car- 
nations, one  each  of  Matchless,  White 
Wonder  and  Alice,  and  would  like  to 
have  you  tell  me  the  cause  of  the  spots 
and  streaks  on  the  foliage.  The  plants 
appeared  to  be  healthy  until  they  were 
attacked  by  green  aphis,  but  after  a 
few  sprayings  with  a  nicotine  extract 
this  pest  apparently  was  overcome,  as 
I  found  no  more  of  the  insects.  The 
plants,  however,  resemble  those  sent 
you.  Do  you  think  they  will  come 
through  all  right  by  benching  time? 

A.  L.— Mo. 


Those  spots  on  your  carnation  plants 
were  caused  rather  by  the  punctures 
made  by  the  aphis  than  by  the  nicotine. 
There  is  no  reason  why  the  plants 
should  not  grow  right  along  and  make 
fine  plants  by  early  August.  We  noted 
two  or  three  leaves  with  leaf-spot  on 
them.  It  might  be  advisable  to  go  over 
the  field  and  pick  off  all  the  leaves  that 
show  a  trace  of  this  disease.  A  hot, 
sultry  spell  would  cause  the  disease  to 
spread  rapidly  and  endanger  vour  en- 
tire stock.  A.  F.  J.  B. 


ZOE  LEADS  THEM  ALL? 

A  carnation  which  has  been  on  the 
market  long  enough  to  have  proved 
itself  is  Zoe  Symonds.  It  is  a  variety 
which  originated  with  Henry  J.  Sy- 
monds, at  Decorah,  la.,  but  which  never 
has   been,  widely   disseminated.     Peter

Carnation  Zoe  Symonds  Has  Made  Some  Warm  Friends. 


Eeinberg  has  grown  it  in  considerable 
quantity  for  the  Chicago  market  and  has 
sold  the  cuttings  to  a  number  of  other 
growers  in  various  parts  of  the  country. 
Another  grower  who  obtained  stock  of 
the  originator  is  Joseph  Bancroft  & 
Son,  Inc.,  Cedar  Falls,  la.  George  H. 
Bancroft,  secretary  and  treasurer  of  the 
company,  who  supplied  the  photograph 
for  the  accompanying  illustration,  says 
that  Zoe  Symonds  with  them  has  proved 
to  be  the  best  dark  pink  they  ever  have 
seen,  and  they  have  tried  practically  all 
of  them. 

The  originator  describes  the  color  as 
cerise.  The  average  size  of  the  flower 
is  from  three  to  three  and  one-half 
inches.  The  flowers  are  well  built  up 
in  the  center  and  are  carried  on  long, 
stiff  stems.  It  is  said  to  be  a  rapid 
grower  and  prolific  bloomer.  The  va- 
riety was  registered  with  the  American 
Carnation  Society  in  1913  as  a  cross 
of  White  Perfection  and  Prosperity. 

BADLY   INFESTED   WITH   THRIPS. 

Can  you  help  me  out  of  my  trouble? 
As  you  can  see  by  examining  the  en- 
closed carnation  buds,  they  are  in  bad 
condition.  Can  you  tell  me  the  cause 
and  the  best  remedv?        P.  J.  S. — 111. 


ing  cold  weather,  when  conditions  are 
in  your  favor.  By  keeping  them  down 
throughout  the  cool  season,  you  could 
keep  the  upper  hand  after  warm 
weather  sets  in.  If  the  percentage  of 
good  blooms  is  too  small  to  be  profit- 
able, I  suggest  that  you  tear  these  in- 
fested plants  out  and  get  your  houses 
ready  for  an  early  start  with  the  new 
plants.  It  will  pay  you  far  better  than 
to  try  to  exterminate  the  thrips.  Empty 
the  houses  entirely  and  fumigate  heav- 
ily with  cyanide  gas.  A.  F.  J.  B. 


If  you  will  tear  open  one  of  your 
buds,  you  will  find  a  number  of  small 
insects,  known  as  thrips.  They  are 
about  one-sixteenth  of  an  inch  long  and 
about  one-fourth  as  wide,  and  of  a 
light  brown  color.  You  will  have  to 
look  sharp,  as  they  are  quick  to  hide 
among  the  petals.  It  would  be  useless 
to  start  now  to  dislodge  them.  They 
multiply  so  fast  during  the  warm 
weather  that  you  could  not  hope  to  get 
them  under  control  before  it  would  be 
time  to  refill  the  benches  with  new 
stock.     The  time  to  fight  thrips  is  dur- 


CULTURE   OF   SMILAX. 

Please  inform  me  as  to  the  proper 
treatment  of  my  smilax  plants.  They 
grew  splendidly  during  the  entire 
^\•inter  and  some  of  them  now  are  dry- 
ing off.  The  remainder  I  propose  to 
transplant  into  another  house,  but  T 
would  like  to  know  if  I  should  dry  them 
first.  M.  M. — Mo. 

The  smilax  may  be  transplanted  from 
the  old  bed  to  tlie  new  one  without 
being  really  dried  off,  but  young  stock 
from  3-inch  pots  would  give  better  re- 
sults, as  the  old  plants  may  not  start 
off  as  evenly  as  the  young  ones  and  con- 
sequently would  not  produce  so  good  a 
crop.  A  bed  of  smilax  should  have  a 
depth  of  six  inches  of  good  soil  and 
should  be  well  drained,  for  after  the 
plants  are  established  they  require 
plenty  of  water. 

During  the  hot  weather  a  light 
shading  may  be  put  on  the  glass,  but 
by  the  middle  of  September  the  plants 
should  have  full  light,  and  throughout 
the  winter  a  night  temperature  of  60 
degrees  should  be  maintained.  Syringe 
the  plants  every  bright  day,  otherwise 
thrips  and  red  spider  are  likely  to  at- 
tack them.  W.  H.  T.

Public  Stops  Buying. 

When  the  famous  eoiiference  of  coal 
mine  owners  was  held  in  Wasliiii<;ton  it 
was  announced  in  tlie  newspapers  that 
a  drop  of  from  $1  to  .$.")  a  ton  would  fol- 
low by  July  1.  That  was  followed  by 
the  vitriolic  attack  made  on  the  work  of 
tlie  conferenct'  by  Secretary  of  the 
Navy  Daniels  and  Secretary  of  War 
Baker.  J'romptly,  also,  came  an  ollicial 
circular  of  the  Illinois  mine  owners, 
((uoting  prices  which  show  no  reduction 
whatever. 

The  result  has  been  that,  to  a  lar<;o 
extent,  consumers  lia\e  stopped  buying 
coal  for  storage.  Dealers  complain  (juite 
eenerally  that  their  delivery  teams  are 
standing  idle  in  the  barns.  It  is  also 
true  that  large  dealers  are  not  storing 
coal  in  their  yards.  There  is  an  ex- 
trenndy  small  supply  now  on  the  ground 
in  Chicago.  And  sonu!  of  the  largest 
dealers  are  advising  their  customers  not 
to  I>uy  .and  store  coal  at  present.  They 
are  themselves  waiting  for  the  price  at 
the  mine  mouth  to   drop. 


STOP    MAlSrURE    WASTE. 

Farmers  ,'ire  urged  by  .\ssistant  Sec- 
retary C.'irl  \'rooman,  of  the  United 
Stati's  Department  oi'  Agriculture,  to 
make  e\(>ry  effort  tn  ^avc  the  \:\si 
.'iinoimt     of     \;iliialde     iiianiire     now      ah 


lowed  to  go  to  waste  in  this  country. 
Assistant  Secretary  \'roomaii  estimati* 
that  one-half  the  manure  jiroduced  in 
the  United  States  is  not  used  as  a 
fertili/.er,  there  being  an  annual  loss 
of  materi.'il  worth  $1 ,2(KI,(MM), ()()(• — one 
;ind  one-half  times  the  \;ilue  of  the 
country's  lltKi  whe;it  crop. 

"T'liis  is  not  a  wild  guess,''  he  con- 
tinues, "but  a  shrewd  and  conservative 
estimate  based  on  reliable  statistics.  It 
h;is  been  found  that  each  horse  or  mule 
|iroduces  aniiuall,\'  .$27  worth  of  ma- 
nure (as  compared  with  commercial 
fertilizers);  each  head  of  cattle  .$20 
worth;  each  hog  $8  worth.  C'llculating 
from  the  liUO  census  tigures  for  number 
of  animals  on  farms,  the  total  value  of 
manure  ]iroduced  is  found  to  be  about 
$2, 4(;i, (100,000.  Eecent  investigations 
by  the  Department  of  Agriculture  indi- 
cate that  .'it  least  h.alf  of  this  great 
wealth  of  fertili/.iag  material  is  sheer 
waste.  In  .-<omc  good  general  farming 
sections  not  more  than  lifteen  jier  cent 
of  the  manure  ]iroduced  is  used.  Even 
in  the  most  intensive  dai''y  regions, 
where  cows  are  largely  stall  fed  and 
iom]iaiatively  great  care  taken  with 
the  manure,  the  loss  seems  to  be  ap- 
proximately  twenty-live   ]ier   cent. 

"This  great  war  has  brought  home 
to  us  Americans,  as  it  has  never  been 
euijdiasi/.ed  before,  the  fact  that  we  are 
the  world's  champion  wupMit^.^  Witli- 
fuit  making  any  comjiariirons,  and  sub- 
ject to  correction  if  it  can  be  shown 
tiiat  the  facts  are  otherwise,  I  dare  aver 
that  our  $1,000,000,000  m.-inure  waste  is 
the  world's  greatest  single  economic 
leak — the  jirize  waste  of  the  cham]don 
wiistrels.  With  commerci.'tl  fertilizers 
scarce,  and  some  of  them  almost  unob- 
tainable, it  would  seem  well  worth  our 
while,  in  this  jnneture,  even  without 
any  reference  to  war  conditions,  to  do 
everything  within  our  power  to  stem 
this  tide  of  loss,  especially  in  considera- 
tion of  the  fact  that  stable  manure  is 
the   best    t'oini    of    fertilizer   known." 


IRRIGATION    AND    BENCHING. 


Too  Much  Water  Harmful. 

Marly  in  the  spring  w  e  prumised  to

A  ]ileiitifui  supply  of  water  usually  will

Condition  Goes  Before  Size. 

A  large,  soft  plant  will  not  transjdant 
well,  but  a  well  matured  i)lant  tiiat  has 
l)een  run  ratlier  on  the  dry  side  for  a 
few  weeks  before  planting  time,  re- 
gardless of  the  size,  usually  will  como 
through  without  trouble.  For  this  rea- 
son we  are  always  mindful  of  tlic 
condition  of  the  plants,  rather  than 
their  size,  at  planting  time.  Experience 
lias  taught  us  tli'at  a  medium-sized  plant 
in  good  coiulitioli  for  trans])lauting  will 
soon  overtake  a  large  ])lant  that  lingers 
for  several  weeks  before  it  really  is 
under  way.  It  should  be  borne  in  mind, 
however,  that  we  are  saying  iiothing 
against  a  large  ])lant  which  is  pro])erly 
matured   for  planting. 

The  time  is  here  to  prepare  the 
benches  for  rej)lanting.  1)0  not  lengthen 
the  work  any  more  tliaii  is  necessary, 
as  every  day  hist  will  mean  Just  that 
much  less  time  for  the  new  ])lant  U< 
make  its  growth.  Kmj)ty  bencdies  jim 
duce  no  revenue;  put  on  eiuuigh  men 
to  push  the  work  along.  If  iiossiblc, 
refill  a  whole  house  at  one  time.  You 
will  find  it  iinudi  easier  tn  handle  a 
whole  house  of  newly  planted  carna 
tions  than  ])art  of  a  house  of  them. 
When  retilliiig  the  benches,  see  that  tlic 
soil  is  well  pulverized  and  tiiat  tlie 
bench  is  properly  tilled  along  the  edges, 
and  level  the  soil  off  nicely  as  you  go 
along.  Place  an  incdi  of  strawy  manure 
on  the  bottom  of  the  beiudi  before  fill- 
ing in  the  soil,  and  before  tilling  make 
sure  that  the  bench  will  go  througii  tlie 
next  season  without  breaking  dowii. 
There  is,  ])erhaps,  nothing  more  vexing 
than  to  have  a  bench  give  way  under 
a  batch   of   higli  trradc   stock.

ZOE  LEADS  THEM  ALL? 

A  carnation  which  has  been  on  the 
market  long  enough  to  have  proved 
itself  is  Zoe  Symonds.  It  is  a  variety 
which  originated  Avitli  Henry  .1.  Sy- 
monds, at  Decorah,  la.,  but  which  never 
has    been    ^xidelv    disseminated.      I'ctcr 


Carnation  Zoe  Symonds  Has  Made  Some  Warm   Friends. 


Reinberg  has  grown  it  in  considerable 
quantity  for  the  Chicago  marker  and  lias 
sold  the  cuttings  to  a  number  of  other 
growers  in  various  parts  of  the  country. 
Another  grower  who  obtained  stock  of 
the  originator  is  Joseph  Bancroft  & 
Son,  Inc.,  Cedar  l^alls,  la.  George  TI. 
Jiancroft,  secretary  ami  treasurer  of  the 
company,  who  sui)plied  the  photograph 
for  the  accompanying  illustration,  says 
that  Zoe  Sym()iids  with  them  has  proved 
to  be  the  best  dark  pink  they  ever  have 
seen,  and  they  iiave  tried  j)ractically  all 
of  them. 

The  originator  ilescribes  the  color  as 
cerise.  The  average  size  of  the  flower 
is  from  three  to  three  and  one-half 
inches.  The  flowers  are  well  built  up 
in  the  center  and  are  carried  on  long, 
stiff  stems.  It  is  said  to  be  a  rapid 
grower  and  ]ir(dilic  bloomer.  The  va- 
riety was  registere<l  with  the  American

The  Florists^  Review 


July  12,  1917. 


S.  A.  F.  FOR  NEW  INSURANCE. 


President  Kerr  Names  Committee. 

The  spring  of  1917  was  recorded  by 
florists  of  the  central  states  as  a  season 
during  which  the  elements,  in  the  guise 
of  tornadoes  and  cyclones,  set  a  record 
for  destruction  of  greenhouses  and 
stock.  The  cyclone  which  struck  New- 
castle, Ind.,  March  11,  resulting  in  a 
complete  wreck  of  the  Benthey  range 
of  110,000  square  feet  and  severe  dam- 
age to  the  Lynch  and  other  establish- 
ments, was  followed  March  23  by  a  tor- 
nado at  New  Albany,  Ind.,  by  the 
furor  of  which  one  of  the  growers,  An- 
ders Rasmussen,  was  reported  to  have 
suffered  a  loss  of  $80,000.  Then  came 
the  episode  of  wind  and  hail  at  Mat- 
toon,  111.,  May  26,  in  which  A.  D.  King 
was  the  heaviest  loser  with  $30,000. 

Wind  storms  of  other  years  took  their 
toll  and  then  became  matters  of  mem- 
ory, but  it  seems  that  to  last  spring's 
work"  of  the  angered  elements  there 
will  be  dedicated  a  monument,  a  monu- 
ment in  the  form  of  a  wind  storm  in- 
surance for  florists.  For  amid  the 
wreckage  of  the  Indiana  ranges  was 
born  the  movement  on  behalf  of  wind 
storm,  or  cyclone,  insurance,  and  during 
the  months  since  that  time  the  agi- 
tators have  done  much  in  interesting 
their  state  leaders  in  the  formation  of 
an  association  or  company  to  insure 
growers  against  losses  by  storm,  with 
risks  such  as  growers  have  and  with 
premiums  such  as  growers  can  pay. 

To  Report  at  New  York. 

Although  the  Indiana  association  of 
florists  has  already  prepared  a  consti- 
tution and  by-laws  for  an  insurance 
organization  of  this  character,  and  has 
even  submitted  the  plan  to  the  Florists' 
Hail  Association,  with  the  idea  of 
having  that  body  include  wind  storm 
policies  with  its  policies  covering  dam- 
age by  hail,  it  is  probable  that  the 
actual  shaping  of  the  new  insurance 
association  will  be  under  the  auspices 
of  the  S.  A.  F.  That  the  S.  A.  F.  now 
is  championing  the  idea  is  seen  in  the 
appointment  by  President  Kerr  of  an 
insurance  committee,  whose  duty  it 
shall  be  to  study  the  proposition,  inves- 
tigate the  policies  offered  by  the  va- 
rious companies  and  report  its  finding 
at  the  convention  in  August.  The  com- 
mitteemen are  E.  G.  Hill,  of  Eichmond, 
Ind.;  J.  F.  Ammann,  of  Edwardsville, 
HI.,  and  Anders  Easmussen,  of  New 
Albany,  Ind.  The  last-named  has  been 
the  hardest  worker  in  behalf  of  the 
new  insurance,  probably  for  the  reason 
that  he  does  not  want  other  florists  to 
suffer  as  he  did  March  23,  when,  in  less 
than  five  minutes,  a  tornado  blotted  out 
the  work  of  a  lifetime. 


COL.  GREEN  WEDS. 

Announcement  is  made  of  the  mar- 
riage of  Col.  E.  H.  E.  Green  and  Miss 
Mabel  E.  Harlow  at  Highland  Park,  111., 
July  10. 

Col.  Green's  chief  claim  to  fame  is 
that  he  is  the  son  of  the  late  Hetty 
Green  and  heir  to  her  millions,  but  to 
many  florists  he  is  known  as  the  one 
man  who  ever  seriously  proposed  a  trust 
in  the  florists'  business.  Col.  Green 
established  the  Green  Floral  Co.,  with  a 
fine  range  for  cut  flower  production,  at 
Dallas,  Tex.,  while  engaged  in  operat- 
ing a  railroad  there.  As  with  many 
another  rich  man,  for  a  time  the  flower 


business  served  him  splendidly  as  a 
hobby  and  he  mingled  much  with  flo- 
rists. This  was  just  at  the  close  of  the 
era  of  trust  formation  and  Col.  Green 
thought  he  saw  in  the  large  corporation 
idea  the  way  to  control  gluts  by  the 
diversion  of  the  output  as  required,  with 
consequent  large  legitimate  profits.  To 
the  owners  of  several  large  cut  flower 
establishments  in  the  middle  west  he 
proposed  the  creation  of  a  corporation 
to  buy  in  and  operate  the  principal 
ranges.  At  the  time  The  Eeview  ex- 
pressed the  opinion  that  a  cash  offer 
might  well  be  considered  by  anyone 
approached,  but  that  a  proposition  to 
sell  for  stock  in  the  trust  would  better 
be  declined.  This  was  based  on  the  be- 
lief that  the  florists'  business  is  not  sus- 
ceptible to  the  same  rules  of  manage- 
ment as  are  manufacturing  enterprises 
dealing  with  non-perishables  and  it  was 
accepted  as  sound  advice  and  the  idea 
was  abandoned  by  its  promoter,  with 
some  reluctance  he  said. 

Col.  Green  is  48  years  of  age.  He 
had  been  referred  to  as  America's  most 
sought  bachelor  and  he  has  the  quality 
of  making  a  friend  and  well-wisher  of 
every  man  he  meets. 


INSURANCE  FOR  EMPLOYEES. 


A.  N.  PieTSoi\,  Inc.,  Protects  Men. 

An  action  which  is  believed  to  be 
unique  in  the  florists'  business  was 
taken  by  A.  N.  Pierson,  Inc.,  Cromwell, 
Conn.,  July  5,  when  each  of  the  corpor- 
ation's employees,  numbering  between 
500  and  600,  was  presented  with  a  life 
insurance  policy. 

The  insurance  was  secured  by  a 
blanket  contract  made  by  the  Pierson 
corporation  with  the  Travelers  Insur- 
ance Co.,  of  Hartford,  Conn.  It  pro- 
vides for  $500  of  insurance  for  each 
employee  who  has  completed  one  year 
of  service  at  Cromwell  Gardens,  and  an 
additional  $100  for  each  year  until  the 
maximum  of  $1,500  is  reached.     A  dis- 


ability clause  provides  that  in  case  any 
employee  is  permanently  prevented 
from  working  he  shall  receive  the  prin- 
cipal amount,  either  in  a  lump  sum  or 
in  installments. 

The  corporation  pays  the  premiums  on 
the  insurance,  but  each  employee  re- 
ceives an  individual  certificate  assur- 
ing him  that  his  family  will  be  taken 
care  of  in  case  of  mishap  to  him.  This 
should  give  each  employee  a  comfort- 
able feeling. 

A  Large  Establishment. 

Cromwell  Gardens  are  located  in  the 
Connecticut  river  valley,  two  miles  from 
Middleton,  Conn.,  and  consist  of  more 
than  300  acres.  The  corporation  has 
more  than  800,000  feet  of  glass  on  the 
place  and  the  balance  of  the  acreage  is 
devoted  to  growing  nursery  stock.  Be- 
sides, it  has  an  extensive  business  in 
landscape  gardening.  The  place  is  a 
Mecca  for  trade  pilgrims  from  all  parts 
of   the   country. 

A.  N.  Pierson,  Inc.,  is  owned  by  An- 
drew N.  Pierson  and  his  son,  Wallace  R. 
Pierson.  That  father  and  son  have  the 
interests  of  their  employees  at  heart  is 
shown  by  their  action  in  buying  the  in- 
surance, which  must  call  for  the  ex- 
penditure of  a  considerable  sum  annu- 
ally. 

FLORIST  HAS  OWN  COAL  MINE. 

Florists  who  are  now  wondering 
about  their  coal  supply  for  next  winter 
have  good  reason  to  be  envious  of  Fred 
W.  Arnold,  Cambridge,  O.  Mr.  Arnold 
has  discovered  that  there  is  coal  under 
his  20-acre  establishment  and  will  open 
it  and  have  his  own  coal  mined. 

Although  Cambridge  is  in  the  center 
of  a  large  coal  mining  district,  florists 
there  are  having  the  same  trouble  as 
those  elsewhere — shortage  in  supply 
and  high  prices.  These  conditions  de- 
termined Mr.  Arnold  to  open  his  mine 
and  become  independent  of  the  oper- 
ators, the  unions  and  the  railroads. 


ODEN  LCTrER^-A-  KEADEEi6 


ROT  OF  IRIS  ROOTS. 

I  disagree  with  C.  W.  that  shallow 
planting  is  a  remedy  for  the  rot  of  iris 
roots.  In  the  first  place,  I  do  not  be- 
lieve it  should  be  called  root  rot,  but 
crown  rot;  the  plants  rot  at  the  crown, 
and  the  tops  drop  off  the  roots. 

Some  irises  are  so  badly  affected  by 
this  rot  tliat  it  is  not  profitable  to  grow 
them.  Maori  King  is  a  good  example  of 
this,  and  there  are  a  few  other  good 
varieties,  when  judged  by  their  flowers 
only,  which  are  difficult  to  grow  with 
any   degree  of  success. 

If  an  iris  grower  selects  the  right 
soil  and  a  sunny  location,  he  will  elimi- 
nate much  of  this  rot  evil;  and  I  might 
add  that  barnyard  manure  should  be 
given  a  wide  berth.  One  severe  winter 
when  there  was  little  snow  to  protect 
the  plants  I  mulched  them  with  strawy 
manure,  and  the  following  spring  many 
of  them  died  from  this  rot.  I  have 
noticed  this  trouble  only  with  the  Ger- 


man, intermediate  and  dwarf,  bearded 
varieties. 

Iris  germanica  will  grow  well  when 
planted  shallowly,  often  when  simply 
dropped  on  the  ground.  I  dig  a  shallow 
trench,  perpendicular  on  one  side,  and 
place  the  irises  against  the  perpendicu- 
lar side  at  the  same  depth  they  grew  in 
the  nursery.  If  planted  deeply  all  the 
new  plants  naturally  will  form  at  the 
surface,  the  same  as  the  shallowly 
planted  ones.  Just  because  an  iris  is 
planted  too  deeply  it  docs  not  follow 
that  it  will  continue  to  grow  that  way. 

I  liave  never  seen  Iris  honorabilis 
ailing  from  crown  rot,  and  if  deep  plant- 
ing causes  crown  rot,  as  C.  W.  says,  why 
should  it  not  attack  this  variety  in  the 
same  way  it  does  others?  I  grow  irises 
by  the  acre,  and  if  I  could  escape  crown 
rot  by  shallow  planting  what  an  easy 
task  I  would  have!  I  believe  that  soil, 
location  and  variety  are  the  determin- 
ing factors.  Willis  E.  Fryer.

WHEN  ROSES  MUST  MOVE. 

How  shall  I  care  for  my  roses  while 
I  am  rebuilding  the  house  in  which  they 
are  growing?  I  wish  to  replant  them 
in  the  same  house.  V.  E.  F. — Ind. 


If  the  roses  you  refer  to  are  in  pots 
they  can  be  placed  in  coldframes,  or, 
at  this  season,  they  will  take  no  great 
harm  if  placed  outdoors.  If  they  are  in 
beds  or  benches  I  would  gradually  dry 
them  off  and  then  prune  them  back 
somewhat,  later  digging  them  up  and 
laying  them  in  trenches  outdoors.  I 
should  have  the  beds  prepared  for  re- 
planting so  that  this  work  can  be 
started  as  soon  as  the  framework  is  up 
and  the  roof  is  ready  for  glazing.

SPIDER  ON'  OUTDOOR  ROSES. 

I  am  sending  you  some  leaves  taken 
from  my  outdoor  rose  bushes.  Will 
you  kindly  tell  me  what  causes  the 
leaves  to  curl  in  this  manner  and  what 
to  do  to  avoid  this  trouble? 

W.  S.  R.— Fla. 

The  leaves  were  rather  badly  broken 
up  when  received,  but  they  had  traces 
of  red  spider  on  them.  To  keep  this 
pest  in  subjection  is  not  easy  in  a 
warm,  dry  climate.  The  plants  should  be 
kept  moist  at  the  roots  artificially,  and 
if  you  have  command  of  a  pressure  of 
water  from  a  hose,  use  the  hose  freely 
on  your  plants.  Use  a  nozzle  with  a  fine, 
misty  spray  and  reach  the  under  side 
of  the  leaves  as  much  as  possible.  The 
pressure  of  cold  water  is  the  best  cure 
for  red  spider  on  outdoor  plants.  When 
sprayed  on  the  plants,  some  of  the  nico- 
tine extracts  will  kill  red  spider.

ROSES  A  SECOND  SEASON. 

I  have  two  benches  that  were  planted 
with  grafted  roses,  1-year-old  dormant 
stock,  last  January,  1917.  The  varie- 
ties are  Sunburst,  Ophelia,  Lady  Hil- 
lingdon,  Killarney,  White  Killarney, 
Mrs.  Charles  Eussell  and  Richmond. 
They  are  blooming  finely  now.  Would 
you  advise  me  to  rest  them,  and  how 
long?  How  short  should  I  trim  them 
after  the  resting  period  and  how  heavy 
mulching  should  I  put  on  them? 

E.  C— Ind. 


through  the  summer  and  probably 
through  next  winter  as  well;  indeed, 
some  of  the  large  growers  of  Killarney 
keep  their  young  plants  going  without 
rest  for  two  full  seasons.  When  the 
time  comes  that  the  condition  of  the 
plants  shows  that  their  strength  is  be- 
coming exhausted  they  should  be  dried 
off  gradually  and  not  so  severely  that 
the  leaves  will  fall;  you  do  not  want 
the  plants  to  become  dormant,  only  to 
rest  them.  The  process  probably  will 
require  six  weeks.  After  that  they  can 
be  cut  back  according  to  their  needs, 
the  general  tendency  being  to  overdo  it, 
and  an  inch  of  old  soil  can  be  removed 
and  replaced  with  fresh.  Water  and 
warmth  will  start  them  into  renewed  ac- 
tion in  a  comparatively  short  time.

THE  AMERICAN  ROSE  SOCIETY. 


By-Law  Revision  Proposed. 

An  executive  committee  meeting  of 
the  American  Rose  Society  was  held  at 
the  City  Club,  Philadelphia,  June  27. 
A  revision  of  the  constitution  and  by- 
laws, so  as  to  allow  for  changes  in  mem- 
bership fees,  was  discussed  and  it  was 
voted  that  the  secretary  should  send  out 
notices  of  the  contemplated  changes  to 


all  active  members,  that  a  vote  might 
be  secured,  as  provided  for  in  the  con- 
stitution and  by-laws,  before  the  meet- 
ing in  Cleveland  next  fall. 

It  was  resolved:  "That  the  present 
rules  for  affiliated  societies  be  revised  to 
make  affiliation  dues  $1  per  year  for 
each  member  of  the  society,  provided 
that  payment  of  such  dues  be  made  to 
the  American  Rose  Society  before  Feb- 
ruary of  each  year,  so  that  provision 
might  be  made  for  the  required  number 
of  annuals." 

A  report  of  the  Washington  Rose  Test 
Garden  was  submitted  for  the  commit- 
tee by  Robert  Pyle. 

It  was  voted  that  a  financial  state- 
ment regarding  the  society's  exhibition 
held  in  Philadelphia  March  20  to  24  in- 
clusive be  prepared  by  President  Ham- 
mond and  sent  to  all  guarantors. 

Mr.  Farenwald  presented  the  plans  of 
the  National  Flower  Show  committee 
and  asked  that  the  American  Rose  Soci- 
ety prepare  a  preliminary  schedule  of 
premiums  for  the  coming  exhibition. 
Messrs.  Farenwald,  Pennock  and  Ffin- 
court  were  appointed  on  this  committee. 

Test  Garden  at  Cornell. 

The  roses  at  the  national  rose  test 
garden  at  Cornell  University  are 
now  at  the  height  of  perfection,  being 
several  weeks  later  than  in  previous 
years.  An  outdoor  meeting  of  the  plant 
industry  conference  was  held  in  the 
garden  July  5.  About  forty  members 
of  the  campus  community  were  present, 
and  the  outing  was  most  enjoyable. 
Prof.  E.  A.  White  welcomed  the  mem- 
bers of  the  conference  to  the  gardens 
and  spoke  of  the  aims  and  purposes  of 
the  American  Rose  Society  in  fostering 
the  test  garden  work.  He  was  followed 
by  Prof.  A.  C.  Beal,  who  spoke  on  the 
value  of  different  species  and  varieties 
of  roses  and  described  their  location  in 
the  garden  plan.  After  a  bountiful  pic- 
nic supper  the  party  inspected  the  beds 
and  made  careful  observation  of  varie- 
ties. E.  A.  White,  Sec'y.

SEASONABLE  SUGGESTIONS 
FOR  SOUTHERN  FLORISTS 


K?it7\-fir/TtirA-tirA-tit7Tfit7^iirA-TirAiirA-tirAiitr\-tiTr\^^ 


ROSES  IN   THE    SOUTH. 


There  seems  to  be  no  need  for  resting 
these  plants  at  present.  They  had  a 
good  rest  prior  to  benching  last  Jan- 
uary  and   therefore   can   be   run   right 


Summer  Treatment. 

Notwithstanding  the  torrid  heat  un- 
der the  glass  in  summer,  if  rose  plants, 
both  young  and  carried-over  stock,  are 
properly  attended  to  they  make  an  as- 
tonishing growth.  One  great  drawback 
in  the  south  is  getting  soil  with  any 
fiber  in  it,  but  in  those  sections  where 
Bermuda  grass  grows  this  difficulty  is 
overcome  by  placing  thick  sods  of  Ber- 
muda turf,  grass  side  down,  on  the  bot- 
tom of  the  beds.  Here  and  there  little 
pieces  may  crop  to  the  surface  during 
the  summer,  but  as  soon  as  cool  weather 
begins  there  will  be  no  further  trouble. 

I  prefer  solid  beds  in  the  south  for 
roses,  and  there  is  no  need  to  provide 
artificial  drainage  if  the  soil  naturally 
drains  well.  The  young  plants  require 
much  water  to  balance  evaporation; 
likewise  spraying,  five  or  six  times  per 
day,    to    maintain    a     moist,    growing 


atmosphere.  The  danger  period  is 
always  immediately  after  a  thunder 
shower,  when  the  sun  comes  out  and 
seems  to  shine  with  redoubled  energy. 
Then  the  ventilation  must  be  quickly 
increased,  and  the  plants  and  walks 
and  walls  sprayed  and  dampened  down. 
If  this  is  not  attended  to  at  once,  you 
will  find  great  quantities  of  nice  young 
shoots  sliriveled  up,  because  evapora- 
tion is  taking  place  more  quickly  than 
the  shoots  can  supply  the  moisture. 

Things  Not  to  Forget. 

The  plants  should  be  tied  up  as  soon 
as  they  have  made  a  little  growth,  and 
they  should  be  kept  tied  up  from  time 
to  time.  In  tying  up  the  plants  do  not 
try  to  see  how  many  shoots  you  can 
tie  with  one  string.  Tie  the  leading 
shoots  separately  and  just  tack  up  the 
blind  wood  off  the  bed.  Tie  so  that  the 
air  can  circulate  through  the  plant  as 
well  as  around  it.    This  thing  of  crowd-

ing  the  plants  close  up  around  a  stake 
is  sure  to  cause  trouble  during  the 
shorter  days  of  the  fall,  because  the 
plants  do  not  then  dry  ofE  easily,  and 
the  first  thing  you  know  the  whole  house 
has  a  healthy  crop  of  black  spot.  With 
ordinarily  good  houses  and  intelligent 
care  and  culture,  black  spot  can  easily 
be  held  at  a  distance  in  the  south. 

In  syringing  the  plants  pay  particu- 
lar attention  to  the  ends  of  each  bed. 
It    is    here    that    red    spider    generally 


gains  its  footing.  See  that  your  hose 
is  long  enough  to  reach  around  the 
ends.  All  weeds  must  be  kept  down 
and  the  surface  of  the  beds  regularly 
stirred.  Later  a  mulch  of  any  kind 
of  old  manure  may  be  given.  This  will 
help  to  keep  the  beds  cool,  prevent 
evaporation  and  do  away  with  much 
of  the  stirring  of  the  surface  soil.  The 
top  and  side  ventilators  and  doors 
sliould  be  kept  open  day  and  night, 
except,  of  course,  during  storms.     L. 


WHEN  TO  TAKE  THE  BUDS. 

Kindly  inform  me  when  to  take  the 
buds  on  these  varieties  of  chrysanthe- 
mums: Lady  Carmichael,  Duckham, 
Mrs.  O.  H.  Kahn,  Mrs.  Wells,  Beatrice 
May,  Polypheme,  Pres.  Eoosevelt, 
Amorita,  Pacific  Supreme,  Wells'  Late 
Pink  and  Harvard.  Please  state,  also, 
the  size,  color,  height  of  stem,  etc.  I 
never  have  grown  any  of  these  varie- 
ties and  know  nothing  about  them. 

L.  L.  C— Wash. 

The  colors  of  the  varieties  and  their 
approximate  heights  are  as  follows: 

Variety.                                            Color.  Ileiglit. 

Lady    Carmichael    White  .^Vj  ft. 

Duckham    Pink  3      ft. 

Mrs.    O.    H.    Kahn Bronze  3       ft. 

Mrs.    Wells    Bronze  3      ft. 

Beatrice  May    White  2^  ft. 

Polypheme    Yellow  4       ft. 

Pres.    Koosevelt    Pink  3       ft. 

Amorita     Pink  3%  ft. 

Pacific  Supreme    Pink  3       ft. 

Wells'    Late    Pink Pink  3%  ft. 

Harvard     Crimson  3%  ft. 

Take  the  buds  on  all  these  varieties 
about  August  20,  with  the  exception  of 
Wells'  Late  Pink.  Take  the  bud  on 
this  about  September  10  onward.  None 
of  these  varieties  presents  any  great 
problems  as  to  culture,  with  the  excep- 
tion, perhaps,  of  Beatrice  May,  which 
is  liable  to  become  infected  with  leaf- 
spot  and  should  be  grown  drier  than 
the  average  chrysantliemum.

TIME  TO  BENCH  MUMS. 

When  do  you  consider  the  right  time 
to  bench  mums?  S.  L.  L. — la. 


Get  your  mums  into  the  benches  as 
soon  as  possible.  Benching  may  be 
successfully  continued  until  August  1, 
but  the  late  plantings  will  give  blooms 
inferior  to  tliose  taken  from  early 
planted  stock.  C.  W. 


MUM  STOCK  FROM  FIELD. 

I  have  been  experimenting  with  field- 
grown  chrysanthemum  plants  and  have 
found  the  results  so  satisfactory  that 
it  has  occurred  to  me  otlier  growers  in 
favorable  sections  miglit  be  interested 
in  the  process.  Situated  in  Mississippi, 
I  transfer  the  cuttings  from  the  sand  to 
the  field  in  March,  April  or  May.  As  I 
am  prepared  to  irrigate  the  plants,  the 
young  stock  makes  a  strong,  healthy 
growth,  with  an  abundance  of  roots. 
When  the  houses  are  ready  I  lift  the 
plants  from  the  field  and  transfer  them 
directlv   to   the    benches.      I    shade   the 


houses  a  little  and  spray  the  plants  four 
or  five  times  for  a  few  days.  With 
l^roper  care,  all  of  the  plants  will  take 
hold  nicely.  If  it  is  not  convenient  to 
shade  the  house,  I  pot  the  plants  in  3- 
inch  pots  and  then  shade  them  for  a  few 
days,  giving  them  plenty  of  space  so 
that  the  air  can  circulate  freely.  In 
two  weeks'  time  the  plants  are  ready  to 
bench. 

After  the  plants  are  established  in  the 
benches  I  top  them,  and  they  immedi- 
ately start  a  new  growth.  If  I  desire 
two  blooms  I  select  the  two  strongest 
shoots;  if  three  blooms,  the  three 
strongest  shoots.  Good  field  plants  will 
produce  three  salable  blooms.  Of 
course,  none  of  the  three  blooms  is  so 
large  as  a  single  bloom  from  a  plant, 
but  500  plants  will  yield  1,500  blooms 
instead  of  500,  and  the  returns  in  dol- 
lars will  be  considerably  more.

ALBANY,  N.  Y. 


The  Club  Visits  Slingerlands. 

The  anual  visit  of  the  Albany  Flo- 
rists' Club  to  the  establishment  of  Fred 
(Joldring,  at  Slingerlands,  N.  Y.,  was 
made  by  automobile  July  5.  There  were 
a  few  absentees  and,  although  present 
in  spirit,  tliey  missed  the  bully  time 
liad  by  the  large  number  of  members 
wlio  did  go.  F.  A.  Danker  and  H.  G. 
Eyres  furnished  autos  for  their  em- 
])lovees. 

Arriving  in  tlio  golden  sunset,  a  tour 
first  was  made  of  tlic  farm,  which  is 
evervtliing  tlie  word  implies.  Then 
came  a  peep  into  the  liouses,  ending  at 
tlie  potting  shed,  where  the  monthly 
Ijusiness  meeting  was  lield.  The  trip 
was  followed  by  a  bufi'et  lunch,  to  which 
tlic  members  did  full  justice. 

Inspecting  the  Place. 

In  making  the  rounds  our  host  dwelt 
on  tlie  necessity  of  specializing,  men- 
tioning that  his  establishment  had  be- 
come known  as  a  lioadquarters  for  snap- 
dragons and  calendulas.  Another  item 
is  the  growing  of  10,000  melon  plants 
from  seed  sown  two  in  a  pot,  the  seed 
being  furnished  by  a  grower  nearby, 
who  supplies  a  few  leading  hotels  in 
New  York  city.  The  figures  given  by 
Mr.  Goldring  made  his  visitors  desire 
to  be  around  when  the  melons  were  cut. 

The  melon  crop  is  followed  by  Boston 
ferns  in  pots,  which  are  taken  from  the 
bench,  leaving  the  runners  for  the  next 
crop.    It  also  was  noted  that  table  ferns 


are  transplanted  into  side  benches  from 
flats,  grown  through  the  summer  and 
potted  up  for  winter  use.  They  do  well 
when  thus  treated.  In  chrysanthemums, 
Oconto,  Golden  Glow,  Bonnaffon  and 
Hamburg  Late  White  constitute  the 
list. 

Old  Killarney  still  is  a  favorite  rose, 
with  Ophelia  as  a  companion.  It  is  be- 
ing debated  whether  it  will  not  be  desir- 
able to  grow  carnations  instead  of  roses 
next  winter.  The  probable  lack  of 
azaleas  is  being  forestalled  by  growing 
such  stock  as  Bougainvillea  Sanderiana 
and  the  like. 

In  outdoor  shrubs,  the  two  most  prof- 
itable for  florists'  use  were  given  as 
Spira?a  Thunbergii  and  Hydrangea  ar- 
borescens.  Many  other  items  of  interest 
there  were,  but  the  meeting  prevented 
further  notes. 

The  Meeting. 

President  John  J.  Haggerty  and  Sec- 
retary Robert  Davidson  were  in  charge 
of  the  meeting  and  did  excellent  work. 

It  was  agreed  to  hold  the  annual  clam 
bake  at  Henke's  grove,  as  heretofore, 
on  the  same  date  as  last  year.  The 
price  was  slightly  advanced  in  sym- 
pathy with  the  general  rise  in  the  cost 
of  food. 

Joseph  Traudt,  of  Canajoharie,  N.  Y., 
gave  a  hearty  invitation  to  the  club  to 
hold  its  next  meeting  at  his  place.  The 
invitation  was  gladly  accepted,  the  more 
so  when  it  was  discovered  that  the  date 
fell  on  Saturday,  September  1,  which 
is  followed  by  Sunday  and  Labor  day. 
But  Mr.  Traudt  was  game  and  said  he 
would  entertain  during  the  three  days, 
falling  back,  if  necessary,  upon  the  fa- 
mous Beechnut  establishment.  He  fin- 
ished by  handing  the  name  of  his  neigh- 
bor, J.  O.  Graham,  of  Little  Falls,  as  a 
new  member  and  his  assistant  at  the  ap- 
proaching important  event.  Fred  A. 
Danker  spoke  for  the  September  meet- 
ing and  J.  H,  Snyder,  of  Ehinebeck, 
asked  for  the  privilege  of  entertaining 
in  October,  when  the  violets  will  be 
worth  seeing.  He  says  the  prospects  are 
rosy. 

The  only  special  exhibits  shown  were 
some  pineapples  in  pots,  grown  and 
fruited  by  Master  Fred  Goldring,  a  lad 
10  years  of  age.  He  promises  to  rival 
his  dad  as  a  plantsman. 

It  developed,  by  the  way,  that  the 
worthy  secretary,  Mr.  Davidson,  has 
held  that  office  since  the  club  was  or- 
ganized and  it  is  on  record  that  each 
time  pay  day  comes  around  the  members 
are  obliged  to  insist  upon  his  accepting 
the  sum  agreed  upon  as  i)art  remunera- 
tion for  his  services. 

Proceeding  homeward  by  the  un- 
oqualed  light  of  Luna,  it  was  agreed 
that  such  visits  compensate  the  florist, 
even  though  lie  has  his  cross  to  bear 
during  these  times  when,  to  quote  Fred 
Danker,  ' '  everything  savors  of  self- 
denial  in  aid  of  the  Red  Cross,"  and, 
added  Louis  Schaefer,  "we  seedsmen 
suffer  also,  though  it  may  look  on  the 
surface  as  if  it  were  all  one  would 
wish."        W.  M. 

Elyria,  O.— The  L.  C.  Hecock  Floral 
Co.  is  remodeling  its  store  at  333  East 
Broad  street.  Several  thousand  dollars 
are  being  expended  for  this  purpose. 

Reading,  Pa. — Harry  C.  Huesman  has 
purchased  the  business  of  the  H.  J. 
Huesman  estate  at  Schuylkill  avenue 
and  Greenwich  street  and  will  continue 
it  under  liis  name.

OBITUARY 


Philippe  de  Vilmorin. 

The  H.  Frank  Darrow  Co.,  New  York, 
American  agent  for  Vilmorin,  Andri- 
eux  &  Co.,  Paris,  France,  has  received 
by  cable  announcement  of  the  death 
of  the  head  of  the  firm,  June  30,  but 
no  details  are  available. 

The  firm  of  Vilmorin,  Andrieux  &  Co. 
is  one  of  the  oldest  and  largest  in  the 
seed  trade  in  France,  and  of  the  highest 
standing.  The  business  was  started 
prior  to  1745  and  is  known  the  world 
around.  Philippe  became  the  head  of 
the  firm  at  30  years  of  age,  on  the  death 
of  his  father,  in  1899.  He  had  visited 
most  of  the  principal  seed  estal)lish- 
ments  in  America  in  company  with  the 
firm's  representative,  who  before  the 
war  made  annual  trips  here.  At  the 
outbreak  of  the  war  he  tendered  his 
services  to  France  and  has  since  devoted 
practically  his  whole  time  to  the  affairs 
of  various  organizations  and  adminis- 
trative commissions  to  whicli  he  was 
appointed  and  on  which  the  talents  that 
had  enabled  him  to  perfect  perhaps  the 
finest  organization  in  the  seed  trade  any- 
where in  the  world  made  Jiim  an  ex- 
tremely efficient  member. 

George  W.  Hillman. 

George  Washington  Hillman,  secre- 
tary and  cashier  of  the  New  York  Cut 
Flower  Co.,  New  York  city,  for  more 
than  twenty  years,  died  suddenly  of 
heart  disease  July  6  at  his  home,  174 
Franklin  place,  Flushing,  L.  I.  During 
the  day  Mr.  Hillman  had  been  at  his 
desk  and  appeared  to  be  in  good  health. 
Mr.  Hillman  was  53  years  old  and  leaves 
a  widow,  three  sons  and  four  daughters. 
He  was  a  member  of  several  fraternal 
societies.  At  one  time  Mr.  Hillman  was 
manager  of  the  growing  department  of 
John  Henderson  &  Co.,  of  Flushing, 

The  funeral  services  were  held  at  the 
liomo  July  9  and  were  attended  by  a 
number  of  florists  from  New  York  city, 
who  sent  many  beautiful  floral  pieces.

DETROIT,  MICH. 

As  tlie  gods  and  bad  luck  will  have  it, 
the  dull  summer  spell  is  ushered  in  pre- 
cisely at  the  moment  when  there  is 
more  or  less  of  a  glut  of  carnations, 
irises,  American  Beauties  and  outdoor 
flowers.     The  sale  of  some  of  the  roses. 


however,  is  fair,  and  orchids  and  valley 
of  best  quality  are  picked  up  by  the  re- 
tailers. Tiger  and  Easter  lilies  are  pil- 
ing in  with  a  vengeance. 

Frank  Dulsky,  of  the  Michigan  Cut 
Flower  Exchange,  has  returned  from  a 
vacation  amid  the  bright  lights  of  New

OMAHA,  NEB. 


The  Omaha  and  Council  Bluff's  Flo- 
rists' Club  recently  was  reorganized 
and  during  the  last  three  months  has 
increased  its  membership  from  eleven 
to  more  than  sixty.  In  June  the  club 
gave  the  most  successful  banquet  in 
its  history  and  recently  a  bowling  tour- 
nament aroused  the  enthusiasm  of  the 
members.  The  club  is  planning  to  hold 
a  picnic,  the  date  and  place  of  which 
have  not  yet  been  selected. 

The  annual  bowling  tournament  was 
lield  at  the  Huntington  alleys,  Wednes- 
day evening,  June  27.  The  affair  was  in 
charge  of  a  committee  composed  of 
Messrs.  Larmon,  Foster,  Shafer  and 
Hines,  who  did  their  work  well,  every 
detail  being  planned  and  carried  out 
perfectly. 

Six  5-men  teams  reported  at  the  al- 
leys. Tliey  were  captained  by  Gardner, 
Shafor,  Clark,  Bath,  Foster  and  Mey- 
er. Tlie  competition  was  keen  and  in- 
tense rivalry  existed  between  the  teams 
as  well  as  the  individal  players.  The 
team  composed  of  Foster,  Larmon,  Rog- 
er, Harding  and  Marz  won  first  prize. 
John  Bath's  team  was  second  and  the 
Meyer  team  third.  Individual  prizes 
were  won  by  Foster,  Meyer,  Bath,  Ha- 
gardine  and  Harding. 

The  evening  was  so  enjoyed  by  the 
bowlers  that  another  tournament  is 
planned  for  the  early  fall.       L.  L.  L. 


Crown  Point,  Ind. — Alois  Frey,  who 
recciitly  returned  fijcm  a  month's  busi- 
ness trip  to  California,  celebrated  his 
forty-second  birthday  anniversary  July 
10. 

Bloomington,  111. — While  supervising 
the  unloading  of  coal  July  3,  Frank  L. 
Washburn  was  thrown  from  the  car  by 
the  brake.  Mr.  Washburn  weighs  about 
230  pounds  and  the  fall  fractured  his 
right  ankle.  He  will  be  confined  to  his 
bed  for  at  least  six  weeks, 

Alpena,  Mich, — Miss  Agnes  Daoust 
and  Frank  Hardesty,  a  florist,  of  Colum- 
bus, O.,  were  married  at  St.  Bernard's 
Catholic  church  June  26.  The  church 
was  decorated  with  Annunciation  lilies 
and  the  bride's  home  with  the  same 
blooms  combined  with  Ophelia  roses, 
all  of  which  were  grown  by  Mr.  Har- 
desty at  Columbus  and  shipped  to 
Alpena  for  the  wedding.  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Hardesty  left  for  a  three  weeks'  honey- 
moon trip  to  Minnesota  and  Canadian 
points  on  the  great  lakes. 

Oshkosh,  Wis.— The  business  of  the 
Miles  Co.,  established  many  years  ago 
by  the  late  Isaac  Miles,  who  came  to 
Oshkosh  from  England  in  1853,  was 
transferred  July  1  by  the  Misses  Min- 
nie, Sarah  and  iimma  Miles  to  Robert 
E.  Pamplin,  James  E.  Taylor  and  Wil- 
liam Buchholz,  three  of  the  company's 
employees,  who  will  conduct  the  estab- 
lishment under  the  old  name.  The  sale 
includes  the  store,  land  and  green- 
houses. Mr.  Pamplin  has  been  with 
the  company  for  thirteen  years;  Mr. 
Taylor  has  been  manager  of  the  store

"I  anticipate  the  time  when  there 
will  be  a  woman's  auxiliary  to  the  flo- 
rists' clubs,"  observed  Mrs.  Hazeltinc, 
of  the  Hazeltine  Flower  Shop,  Albany, 
N.  Y.  "Now  we  have  no  voice,  l)ut 
as  just  compensation  we  receive  much 
information  on  woman  florists  through 
the  columns  of  The  Review."  The  an- 
nual outing  of  the  Albany  Florists'  Club 
was  the  cause  for  the  above  remark, 
made  by  one  of  the  foremost  and  most 
esteemed  woman  florists  in  the  capital 
city. 

"A  hard  nut  to  crack  is  to  know 
just  what  to  grow  during  these  un])recc- 
donted  times,"  observed  F.  I,  Drake,  of 
Pittsfield,  Mass.  "For  instance,  we 
never  had  too  many  S.  A.  Nutt  gera- 
niums until  this  year,  when  Beaute  Poi- 
tevino  had  the  call.  As  we  are  not  wiz- 
ards, we  have  Nutt  on  hand,  and  we 
shall  hold  onto  it.  Yes,  there  are  quacks 
in  the  trade,  and  it  is  up  to  us  to  make 
our  business  indispensable,"  concluded 
Mr,   Drake. 

Mark  Aitken,  of  Springfield,  Mass., 
was  the  first  of  his  city  to  introduce  the 
idea  of  early  closing  and  is  firmly  con- 
vinced it  is  the  best  thing  ^vet  at- 
tempted.   "We  have  marked  well,"  ob- 


served Mr.  Aitken,  "practically  every 
condition  entering  into  our  business. 
Regarded  from  both  an  economic  and 
social  standi)oint,  early  closing  is  high- 
ly successful.  The  two  features  noted 
are  the  saving  in  light  and  the  creation 
of  a  more  cheerful  atmosphere."  A 
charming  window  decoration  was  noted 
— a  large  bunch  of  larkspurs  in  an 
amber  bowl,  which  stood  on  a  golden 
plush  draping.  Satisfactory  business 
is  reported. 

The  J.  W.  Adams  Co.,  of  Springfield, 
considers  this  season  to  be  one  of  the 
best  recorded  in  its  long  nursery  ex- 
perience. An  exceptionallv  moist 
growing  period  favored  every  kind  of 
tree  or  shrub.  Two  choice  specials  were 
noted,  Daphne  Mezereum,  finely  berried, 
and  a  white  climbing  rose  named  Sil- 
ver Moon. 

George  Sambrook,  of  Sambrook  Bros., 
Troy,  N.  Y.,  observed  that  present  con- 
ditions are  no  joke,  as  his  two  boys  had 
enlisted,  and  they  were  the  bowers  of  the 
business.  We  must  bear  these  sacrifices 
cheerfully,  thankful  that  thev  are  be- 
ing imposed  upon  us  gradually,  fitting 
the  back  for  the  burden,  as  it  were,

Kesults  bring   advertising. 
The  Review  brings  results. 

Late  as  it  is,  bedding  plants  still  are 
selling. 

Thk  retailer  with  the  original  thought 
is  always  a  lap  ahead  of  the  other  fellow. 

It  appears  that  Easter  lilies  planted 
now  will  be  good  property  when  they 
bloom. 

With  so  mucli  indoor  stock  in  the  cut 
flower  markets  at  this  date,  it  seems  prob- 
able the  supply  mil  be  on  the  short  side 
at  the  time  fall  business  usually  opens. 

The  man  with  a  surplus  of  bedding 
plants  probably  can  place  them,  a  dozen 
here  and  a  dozen  there,  by  a  canvass  of 
his  neighborhood.  The  trouble  is,  most  of 
us  wait  for  tlie  public  to  come  to  us. 

Fred  W.  Arnold,  Cambridge,  O.,  says: 
"The  best  sow  bug  trap  I  ever  have 
found  is  a  flock  of  Indian  Runner  ducks. 
They  do  not  disturb  the  plants  in  the 
least  and  are  death  on  all  classes  of  ver- 
min. This  trap  is  not  patented  and  is 
well  worth  trying." 

CiiRYFJANTHEMUM  plants  have  sold  less 
rapidly  than  usual  this  season,  no  doubt 
due  to  growers  having  their  benches  full 
of  bedding  plants  several  weeks  after  they 
usually  are  available  for  mum  planting. 
In  some  cases  the  benches  are  not  yet 
vacant  and  interesting  problems  arise. 

Many  large  growers  are  using  women 
for  the  lighter  forms  of  greenhouse  work 
and  are  well  pleased  with  the  results  ob- 
tained. Properly  instructed,  women  make 
good  greenhouse  assistants,  and  they  prob- 
ably will  take  most  of  the  places  to  be 
made  vacant  by  the  draft.  The  trouble 
will  come  at  planting  time. 


WONDERFUL  CROPS. 

The  government  crop  report,  covering 
the  conditions  of  the  principal  crops  as 
of  July  1,  1917,  is  an  inspiring  docu- 
ment. It  indicates  that  the  harvests 
this  year  will  be  the  most  bountiful  on 
record.  Of  all  the  crops  reported  on, 
only  one  indicates  a  yield  in  quantity 
less  than  the  harvest  of  19 IG,  and  the 
one  crop  which  is  deficient  is  hay,  a 
commodity  not  nearly  so  vital  as  it  was 
before  gasoline  assumed  most  of  the 
burdens  of  the  horse.  Even  wheat  prom- 
ises a  yield  many  millions  of  bushels 
greater  than  in  1916.  The  totals,  com- 
pared with  the  final  production  figures 
of  last  year,  are  as  follows: 

Crops.                           July  1,  1917.  Final,  1916. 

Corn,    bushels    3.120,000,000  2,583,241,000 

All  wheat,   bushels.    678,000,000  639,886,000 

Oats,    bushels    1,450,000,000  1,251,992,000 

Hurley,     bushels 214,000,000  180,927,000 

Potatoes,     bushels..    452,000,000  285,437,000

All   hay,    tons 103,000,000  109,786,000 

Apples,     barrels 66,800,000  67,415,000 

Peaches,     bushels...      43,500,000  36,939,000 

The  first  price  given  below  is  the  av- 
erage July  1  this  year,  and  the  second 
July  1  last  year:  Wheat,  202.1  and  93.0 
cents  per  bushel;  corn,  164.6  and  75.4 
cents;  oats,  68.9  and  40.4  cents;  pota- 
toes, 247.9  and  102.3  cents;  hay,  $14.56 
and  $12.09  per  ton;  cotton,  24.7  and  32.5 
cents  per  pound;  eggs,  28.3  and  19.7  per 
dozen. 

THE  S.  A.  F.  CONVENTION. 

"Webster,  he  who  wrote  the  diction- 
ary, says  that  a  convention  is  a  "body 
or  assembly  of  persons  met  for  some 
common   purpose." 

Webster's  definition  exactly  de- 
scribes the  S.  A.  F.  convention,  which 
will  be  held  in  New  York  city  August 
21  to  24.  It  will  be  an  assembly  of 
persons  met  for  a  common  purpose. 
That  purpose  will  be  an  exchange  of 
views  and  experiences  by  florists  of 
the  United  States  and  Canada. 

Without  a  doubt  there  is  no  business, 
or  profession,  or  trade,  whichever  you 
may  choose  to  term  it,  which  has  made 
and  is  making  greater  strides  both  in  a 
material  way  and  in  the  science  of 
production  than  that  of  the  florist. 
Each  year  is  a  year  of  progress  and  no 
one  man  in  the  trade  can  keep  up  with 
this  progress  unaided  by  his  fellows  in 
the  same  line  of  endeavor. 

Therefore,  what  can  be  of  more  help 
to  the  florists  of  the  country  than  to 
assemble  for  a  common  purpose — the 
purpose  of  learning  first-hand  of  the 
developments  in  their  business  from  the 
men  who  are  making  that  development? 
Such  a  meeting  is  a  magnet  for  ideas. 
It  draws  them  through  discussion  from 
the  men  who  are  best  fitted  to  give 
them.  One  learns  from  another  and  all 
profit  thereby. 

Reports  from  the  correspondents  of 
The  Review  already  are  telling  of  the 
plans  made_by  members  of  the  society 
to  attend  the  convention  in  New  York 
city.  "Men  prominent  in  the  trade,  suc- 
cessful men,  from  so  far  off  as  the 
Pacific  coast  are  going  to  make  the 
long  trip  across  the  continent  so  that 
they  may  profit  by  the  experiences  of 
others  and  learn  of  that  which  is  new 
and  that  which  is  profitable  in  their 
business. 

The  program  for  the  convention  has 
not  yet  been  announced.  But  it  is 
certain  that  those  who  are  framing  it 
will  be  sure  to  provide  features  that 
will  make  the  journey  worth  the  while 
of  eV6ry  florist  who  is  able  to  be  pres- 
ent.    Besides,  there  will  be  the  added 


satisfaction  of  being  a  member  of  a 
body  of  men  who  are  met  together  for 
the  common  cause  of  helping  Nature 
produce  that  which  is  beautiful  and 
which  adds  to  the  joys  and  helps  alle- 
viate the  sorrows  of  existence.

taining advertising  instructions  reach 
The  Review  while  the  paper  is  on  the 
press — just  a  few  hours  earlier  and  they 
would  have  had  attention  a  week  sooner 
than  is  possible. 

It  is  the  aim  to  give  prompt  service, 
but  to  secure  it  advertisers  should  note: 
"It  is  impossible  to  guarantee  the  in- 
sertion, discontinuance  or  alteration  of 
any  advertisement  unless  instructions 
are  received  by  4  p.  m.  Tuesday." 


THEY  HAVE   THE   PULL. 

The  pull  of  the  trade  journal  adver- 
tisement varies  exactly  with  the  pull  of 
the  reading  matter. 

That's  a  nice,  hard  sentence  to  think 
over. 

But   just   consider   this:     The   paper 

bought     for    amusement    is    read    for 

amusement;    that   bought  for   the   free 

premium  may  or  may  not  be  read  at 

all;    but  the'  paper  bought   because   it 

contains    articles    that    really    aid    the 

readers — The    Review,    for    instance — 

gets  pretty  close  to  the  heart  of  things. 

Real  editorial  worth  is  easily  "sold," 

like  this: 

Please  And  enclo8f>d  check  for  $3  in  payment 
of  two  years'  subscription  to  The  Review.  Your 
paper  is  a  necessity  in  the  business. — Dwight 
Ludlow,  Ludlow  Greenhouses,  Worthington, 
Minn,  July  2,  1917. 

And  because  the  pull  of  the  ad  varies 
exactly  with  the  pull  of  the  editorial, 
it  is  natural  that  advertisers  in  The  Re- 
view should  report  large  returns,  at  lit- 
tle cost,  like  this: 

Kindly  discontinue  my  ad  and  send  the  bill. 
There  is  nothing  like  The  Review  for  selling  the 
goods.  Let  me  congratulate  you  on  your  good 
service.— W.  S.  Kidd,  Aliquippa,  Pa.,  July  2, 
1917. 

My  "want"  ad  for  a  foreman  brouRht  me  In 
touch  with  fifteen  applicants.  The  Review  does 
the  work. — A.  P.  Andrew,  Miller's  Greenhouses, 
Muncie,  Ind.,  June  30,  1917. 

When  you  hear  a  man  complain  of  the 
cost  of  advertising  you  can  be  pretty 
certain  he  spends  a  good  bit  of  money 
elsewhere  than  in  The  Review. 


CHICAGO. 

The  Market. 

Considering  that  we  are  in  the  sec- 
ond week  of  July,  no  one  but  Mr.  Lugu- 
brious Blue  would  call  business  other- 
wise than  excellent.  Those  whose  mem- 
ories or  records  go  back  to  other  Julys 
do  not  expect  that  the  business  this 
month  will  be  as  large  as  the  business 
of  May  and  June,  but  if  July  finishes 
as  it  has  begun  it  will  go  on  record  as 
the  largest  summer  month  this  market 
ever  has  experienced.  The  demand  is 
erratic,  some  days  strong  and  other  days 
weak,  but  averaging  considerably  better 
than  in  July  of  last  year.  City  trade  is 
especially  uncertain,  the  out-of-town  de- 
mand continuing  fairly  steady  and 
heavier  than  usual  at  this  date. 

The  market  is  abundantly  supplied 
with  flowers  that  are  excellent  for  this 
time  of  year.  The  quantity  of  stock 
on  the  market  is  considerably  heavier 
than  it  was  at  this  time  last  year  and 
the  result  is  that  improved  demand  has 
not  served  to  increase  the  prices.

Mention  The  Review  when  you  write. 


American  Beauty  no  longer  deserves 
first  consideration  in  the  market  report. 
Several  of  the  largest  growers  have  dis- 
carded this  oldtime  favorite,  and  find 
it  necessary  to  buy  from  other  whole- 
salers to  fill  their  orders,  while  nearly 
everyone  has  reduced  the  space  given 
to  Beauty.  There  still  are  good  Beau- 
ties, however,  and  they  sell  steadily, 
though  not  briskly.  The  rose  in  largest 
supply  is  Mrs.  Kussell.  A  considerable 
number  of  growers  have  mastered  the 
difficulty  of  growing  this  variety  suc- 
cessfully and  there  is  much  good  stock 
on  the  market.  The  warmer,  brighter 
woarher  has  taken  some  of  the  color, 
but  the  flower,  cut  well  develo])ed  as  it 
is,  makes  an  even  better  show  than 
Beauty,  being  much  larger  than  any 
other  rose.  Killarney,  too,  is  disappear- 
ing. In  its  place  many  growers  liavo 
planted  Killarney  Brilliant.  Richmond 
is  nearly  out  of  the  market.  Milady 
being  the  red  rose  now  seen  in  most 
wholesale  stores.  At  the  momoit  the 
demand  for  white  is  stronger  than  for 
any  ether  color  in  roses,  because  funeral 
work  constitutes  a  large  part  of  tlie  de- 
mand. At  the  same  time  white  is  £:carc- 
est,  as  in  their  replanting  operations 
most  of  the  growers  have  discarded  a 
part  of  their  White  Killarney.  Ophelia 
has  been  the  gainer  in  most  cases  and 
this  rose  now  is  among  the  leaders,  in 
quantity,   quality   and   demand. 

There  are  carnations  that  should  be 
thrown  out  for  replanting,  but  the  av- 
erage quality  of  the  stock  on  the  market 
is  better  tlian  older  florists  recall  ever 
seeing  so  late  in  July.  Also,  the  supply 
is  heavier  than  it  ever  has  been  at 
this  date.  There  is  a  wide  range  in 
values.  The  stock  of  certain  growers 
sells  readily  at  $2  per  hundred,  while 
the  surplus,  composed  of  the  pick  from 
the  plants  that  should  be  thrown  out,  is 
difficult  to  clean  up  even  at  the  street 
salesman's  favorite  offer  of  5  cents  per 
bunch. 

Sweet  peas  also  are  holding  out  well 
because  of  the  cool  weather.  Some 
splendid  stock  is  seen.  There  are  in- 
creased supplies  of  cattleyas  and  neither 
these  nor  valley  can  be  said  to  be  scarce, 
although  the  sources  of  supply  are  few. 
Fresh   cut   peonies   still   are   coming   in 


F.  T.  D.  Cut  Flower  Service  in  a  wholesale 
way  with  the  "Out-of-Town"  Retail  Florist 
is  practical  co-operation  between  the 
grower  and  the  retailer.

and  a  few  growers  and  wholesalers  have 
stored  considerable  quantities,  so  that 
it  is  probable  the  peony  season  will  last 
until  the  middle  of  August  tliis  year. 
Easter  lilies  now  are  in  large  supply. 
Candidum  has  come  from  the  south  and 
the  crop  in  Michigan  is  nearly  ready.  A 
few  rubrums  are  seen  and  auratum  is 
due  in  a  few  days.  Gladioli  have  not 
yet  arrived  from  local  growers  and  the 
southern  crop  has  ceased  to  cut  a  fig- 
ure. There  are  quantities  of  outdoor 
flowers,  some  of  which  sell  well  when 
offered  in  good  condition,  but  most  of 
them  suffer  seriously  in  the  packing. 
Greens  again  are  abundant. 

Club  Meeting, 

The  meeting  of  the  Florists'  Club, 
July  5,  was  not  largely  attended,  but 
President  Amling,  Secretary  Zech  and 
all  the  other  officers  were  present.     On 


the  proposition  of  holding  a  picnic  this 
summer  the  club  voted  adversely.  A 
letter  from  A,  D.  King,  of  Mattoon,  111,, 
whose  place  was  destroyed  in  the  recent 
cyclone,  was  read  and  Secretary  Zech 
was  instructed  to  send  an  appeal  to  each 
member  of  the  club  in  Mr,  King's  be- 
half. The  New  York  Central  railroad 
was  selected  as  the  official  route  to  the 
S.  A.  F.  convention  at  New  York,  the 
train  leaving  at  11:45  p.  m.,  August  19, 
being  selected. 

The  club  voted  to  omit  August  and 
September  meetings. 

Various  Notes. 

One  of  the  interesting  announcements 
of  the  week  is  that  Anton  Then  has 
placed  with  Peter  Reinberg  the  exclu- 
sive sale  of  field-grown  plants  of  the 
former's  new  scarlet  carnation,  Thenan- 
thos,    rooted    cuttings    of    which    were

WE  HAVE  A  FINE  SUMMER  CROP  OF  ROSES 

You  will  not  be  disappointed  with  our  Summer  Roses.  There  are  none  better  on  the  Chicago  Market.  Good  quality

sold  for  the  first  time  last  spring.  It  is 
explained  that  Mr.  Then's  stock  of  the 
variety  was  planted  out  ou  Mr.  Eein- 
berg's  farm,  from  which  grew  the  pres- 
ent arrangement.  Mr.  Reinberg  has 
grown  500,000  carnation  plants  in  the 
field  this  summer  in  addition  to  his  own 
requirements. 

W.  J.  Smyth  and  family  are  summer- 
ing as  usual  at  Lake  Marie,  Antioch, 
111.  Mr.  Smyth  drives  the  Pierce-Ar- 
row  to  the  store  once  in  a  week  or  two  to 
treat  himself  to  the  sight  of  all  hands 
hustling  on  funeral  work,  which  is  re- 
ported as  unusually  heavy  this  month. 

As  indicating  that  it  will  be  a  long 
time  before  this  market  will  be  short 
of  valley,  even  with  no  further  imports 
of  German  pips,  P.  C.  Schupp  states  that 
the  excellent  valley  now  coming  from 


the  J.  A.  Budlong  establishment  is  of 
pips  of  the  1915  importation,  the  1916 
stock  still  lying  untouched  in  cold  stor- 
age. 

A.  Miller,  president  of  the  American 
Bulb  Co.,  returned  July  8  from  his 
honeymoon  trip  to  Yellowstone  park. 
At  tlie  same  time  came  a  large  shipment 
of  freesia  bulbs  from  the  company's 
representative  now  on  the  Pacific  coast, 
the  first  freesias  seen  on  the  market 
this   season. 

N.  J.  Wietor  states  that  it  was  the 
difficulty  in  securing  day  laborers  which 
caused  his  firm  to  undertake  replanting 
earlier  this  season  than  usual,  every- 
thing now  being  set  for  1917-18  except 
a  few  mums  and  part  of  the  carnations. 
The  first  roses  planted  already  are  giv- 
ing a  cut.    The  space  given  to  Beauties 


has  been  reduced  one-half  again  this 
year,  the  plants  of  it  on  the  benches 
now  not  exceeding  20,000.  The  space 
taken  from  Beauty  has  been  given  to 
Russell  and  Ophelia. 

C.  L.  Washburn ,  who  is  visiting  the 
Bassett  &  Washburn  brancli  in  Cali- 
fornia, writes  that  he  found  the  three 
generations  of  the  Bassett  family  resi- 
dent there  enjoying  excellent  health. 
O.  P.  Bassett  was  82  years  of  age 
March  31.  His  grandson,  E.  B.  Wash- 
burn, now  has  three  bouncing  boys. 
Mr.  Washburn  plans  to  start  for  home 
July  15.

111.,  the  list  of  roses  grown  has  been 
narrowed  practically  to  two.  Milady 
and  Killarney  Brilliant,  both  of  which 
seem  particularly  at  home  there.  There 
still  are  a  couple  of  benches  of  White 
Killarney  and  Ward. 

F.  M.  Johnson  and  A.  M.  Anderson,  of 
the  A.  L.  Eandall  Co.,  are  on  an  east- 
ern business  .trip. 

Alois  Fre.v  has  returned  to  Crown 
Point  from  a  month's  business  trip  to 
Los  Angeles. 

O.  A.  Tonner  says  that  the  business 
thus  far  in  July  would  have  been  a 
credit  to  any  other  June  in  her  busi- 
ness experience. 

M.  C.  Gunterberg  was  called  to  Min- 
nesota July  6  by  the  serious  illness  of 
a  sister.  John  Sinner,  who  since  March 
has  been  working  at  the  greenhouses  of 
Sinner  Bros.,  came  in  to  take  charge 
of  the  store  during  Miss  Gunterberg's 
absence. 

Edward  Galavan,  of  the  A.  L.  Ean- 
dall Co.,  made  a  flying  trip  to  Nashville 
and  Chattanooga  during  the  first  part 
of  this  week. 

Charles  Erne,  who  classes  among  the 
veterans  in  the  market,  says  he  consid- 
ers the  spring  business  to  have  been  the 
best  Chicago  ever  has  known  and  that 
July  and  the  balance  of  the  summer 
look  good  to  him. 

The    E.    C.    Amling    Co.    reports    the 

opening  of  the  aster  season  this  week. 

A.  L.  Vaughan  and  family  plan  to  get 

away  this  week  for  a  fortnight 's  trip  in 

the  Molinc-Knight. 

Paul  Klingsporn,  of  the  Chicago 
Flower  Growers'  Association^  will  join 
the  procession  of  florists  driving  Mo- 
line-Knights,  but  will  not  get  his  car 
until  sometime  next  week.  The  asso- 
ciation's annual  meeting  of  stockhold- 
ers is  to  be  held  July  16,  at  3  p.  m.,  al- 
wavs  an  interesting  event.

K.  E.  Kurowski  has  been  at  home  for 
several  days,  getting  the  upper  hand 
of  an  attack  of  quinsy. 

Guy  W.  French  was  40  years  of  age 
July  8  and  the  day  was  appropriately 
celebrated  at  Morton  Grove,  where  he 
still  makes  his  home  in  spite  of  the  fact 
that  his  business  is  in  Wisconsin. 

The  Everette  E.  Peacock  Co.,  which 
has  a  flower  store  and  seed  store  on  the 
northwest  side,  doing  a  flourishing  busi- 
ness, has  been  incorporated  with  $100,- 
000  capital  stock  and  authority  to  grow 
and  deal  in  bulbs,  plants  and  flowers. 

O.  W.  Frese  is  greatly  worried  over 
Mrs.  Frese 's  loss  of  hearing.  He  fears 
she  may  become  totally  deaf. 

At  its  ofiices  in  the  Marquette  build- 


ing, Swain  Nelson  &  Sons  Co.,  sixty 
years  in  business,  staged  a  peony  show 
which  attracted  many  visitors  for  three 
days  last  week. 

H.  G.  Hall,  who  has  been  with  the 
American  Bulb  Co.  during  the  spring 
seed  and  plant  season,  with  Mrs.  Hall 
has  gone  to  Eochester,  N.  Y.,  where  he 
will  make  his  headquarters  while  he 
travels  as  commission  representative  of 
several  concerns  in  the  trade. 

H.  E.  Humiston,  of  the  Chicago  Feed 
&  Fertilizer  Co.,  returned  last  week 
from  a  business  trip  of  several  weeks 
in  the  east. 

Earl  Poehlmann  has  joined  the  staff

The    Market. 

Business  has  been  spasmodic — a  tussle 
between  tlie  quieting  influence  of  sum- 
mer days  and  the  bolstering  effect  of 
large  funerals. 

Tlie  quality  of  roses  has  taken  a  to- 
boggan all  along  the  line,  though  per- 
haps an  exception  should  be  made  of 
Russell  and  Francis  Scott  Key.  Carna- 
tions are  more  than  plentiful,  but  tlie 
warm  weather  has  made  for  a  reduction 
in  the  size  of  the  blooms.  Irises,  both 
yellow  and  lavender,  are  at  the  height 
of  their  popularity.  Sweet  peas  are 
short  and  small;  only  occasionally  do 
first-grade  blooms  arrive.  Delphiniums 
and  cornflowers  meet  with  a  good  sale.

PHIIiADELPHIA. 


The  Market. 

The  scarcity  of  really  good  flowers  is 
as  marked  as  the  scarcity  ^f  orders. 
There  is  a  certain  amount  or  business, 
quite  as  much  as  usual  in  the  middle  of 
July,  and  there  is  a  little  good  material 
and  more  that  is  fair  to  middling.  East- 
er lilies  are  in  strong  supply.  There  are 
lots  of  good  lilies,  enough  to  meet  all 
demands  and  to  spare.  Other  fine  flow- 
ers are  not  so  well  off.  Whenever  the 
big  buyers  have  something  on,  which 
happens  every  now  and  then,  they  have 
to  be  on  the  alert  to  secure  the  stock. 
Eoses  are  next  to  lilies  in  strength  of 
supply.  Eastern  Beauties,  Kussell, 
Prima  Donna,  Kaiserin  and  Maryland 
are  the  best.  Then  come  gladioli,  most- 
ly outdoor  grown,  in  all  the  well-known 
varieties.  Orchids  and  valley  are  both 
in  light  supply.  There  are  a  few  fine 
carnations  besides  Mrs.  C.  W.  Ward  and 
Matchless.  Some  White  Enchantress 
and  White  Perfection  are  offered  that 
are  worth  while.  Early  asters  are  not 
yet  coming  into  town  in  any  numbers. 
There  are  some  fine  delphiniums,  laven- 
der and  white  candytuft,  and  pyre- 
thrums  are  overabundant.  There  are  not 
many  sweet  peas  and  they  are  not  of 
much  use  now. 

At  the  Spring. 

There  is  a  really  beautiful  woodland 
scene  in  the  handsome  show  window  of 
J.  J.  Habermehl's  Sons  at  the  Bellevue- 
Stratford.  The  center  of  the  window  is 
filled  by  a  small  cascade  of  water  flow- 
ing over  rocks  into  a  pool.  The  pool  is 
filled  with  goldfish  that  feed  content- 
edly in  the  foreground  right  in  the  thor- 
oughfare, separated  from  it  only  by  the 
plate  glass  of  the  window.  Nearby  are 
rocks  and  fungus-covered  logs  and

Coal. 

A  representative  of  one  of  our  larg- 
est florists  visited  the  coal  regions  of 
central  Pennsylvania  last  week  to  see 
what  prospects  there  were  for  a  supply 
of  fuel.  He  went  carefully  over  the 
ground,  talked  with  the  operators  and 
miners  and  used  his  eyes  intelligently. 
He  came  to  the  conclusion  that  the  pros- 
pects of  getting  anthracite  coal  are 
much  better  than  the  prospects  of  get- 


ting bituminous  coal.  He  also  believes 
that  to  get  anthracite  coal  this  season 
it  will  be  necessary  to  pay  a  price.  The 
buyer  who  is  willing  to  pay,  he  thinks, 
will  have  no  trouble  in  getting  coal 
now;  later  it  may  or  may  not  be  more 
diflicult.

A  good  story  is  told  of  one  especially 
dull  summer  morning,  when  a  crowd  of 
hot  salesmen  gathered  for  a  moment  at 
William  J.  Baker's.  Things  were  bad. 
The  usually  successful  salesmen,  who 
make  out  big  slips  recording  their  flow-

so  far  that  morning.  Mr.  Baker  was 
the  last  to  speak.  He  said,  modestly, 
that  he  had  sold  five  bunches  of  aspara- 
gus that  morning.  Everyone  was 
pleased.  Just  at  that  moment  a  young 
man  came  in  with  five  bunches  of  as-

Inc.  These  orders  are  mainly  from  new 
customers.  They  are  not  filled  with 
seeds  the  sowing  season  of  which  is 
past. 

Miss  Marion  Faust,  daughter  of 
Henry  I.  Faust,  of  Merion,  is  closely 
following  the  improved  early  blooming 
Spencer  sweet  peas  at  Fordhook. 

Charles  A.  Brookley,  for  many  years 
with  Frank  R.  Hastings,  died  recently 
after  a  long  illness  at  his  home  in  Ger- 
mantown. 

Robert  Craig  suffered  a  loss  in  the 
death  of  his  son-in-law,  which  occurred 
last  week. 

Fred  W.  Cowperthwaite,  Pennsyl- 
vania state  vice-president  of  the  B.  A. 
F.,  has  issued  a  strong  appeal  to  all 
florists  to  join  the  national  society  to 
secure  much  needed  action  for  the  gen- 
eral welfare  at*  this  critical  time.  Mr. 
Cowperthwaite  urges  the  importance  of 
attending  the  New  York  meeting  Au- 
gust 21  to  24. 

Paul  Berkowitz  believes  that  the  mid- 
season  meetings  of  the  S.'  A.  F.,  when 
held  in  centrally  located  cities,  give  ex- 
hibitors a  better  chance  than  the  early 
spring  meetings  held  in  connection  with 
the  national  flower  shows. 

Leo  Niessen  is  visiting  the  growers. 

William  J.  Young,  Jr.,  has  moved  his 
family  to  his  farm  at  Linfield,  near 
Pottstown,  for  the  summer. 

M.  J.  Callahan  says  business  is  made 
up  chiefly  of  funeral  orders,  which  have 
been  quite  heavy. 

The  M.  Rice  Co.  has  thrown  open  the 
partition  between  the  display  room  and 
hall,  adding  an  air  of  cordial  welcome 
to  the  effect  as  the  visitor  enters  the 
elegant  building. 

John  P.  Habermehl  runs  up  daily 
from  the  city  by  the  sea  to  his  business

The  Market. 

There  was  plenty  of  stock  last  week 
to  meet  the  demand,  which  was  light. 
Quality  was  far  from  good  and  the 
prices  were  low.  Roses,  with  few  excep- 
tions, were  small  and  weak-stemmed. 
These  sold  as  low  as  $2.50  per  thousand. 
The  bulk  of  the  arrivals  sold  from  this 
low  figure  to  $1  per  hundred.  The  few 
first-class  arrivals  sold  at  the  usual  fig- 
ures. 

American  Beauties  showed  improve- 
ment in  quality.  Quantities  of  outdoor 
roses  are  arriving,  mostly  Crimson  Ram- 
blers and  Dorothy  Perkins.  Jacquemi- 
nots are  done.  One  firm  handled  more 
than  60,000  of  them  in  one  day.  The 
average  price  was  50  cents  per  hundred. 
Large  shipments  of  carnations  still  are 
arriving.  The  bulk  sold  at  25  cents 
per  hundred  July  7-  The  best  carna- 
tions last  week  did  not  realize  more 
than  $1.50  per  hundred. 

Good  gigas  were  scarce  and  were  sell- 
ing at  from  50  cents  to  60  cents  each 
July  7.  Other  orchids  were  abundant 
and  sold  at  low  prices.  Valley  con- 
tinues scarce  and  the  selected  brings 
from  $5  to  $6  per  hundred.  The

Club  Meeting. 

The  special  meeting  of  the  Florists' 
Club,  held  July  9,  drew  an  attendance 
of  nearly  100.  President  Stumpp  was 
in  the  chair. 

Considerable  discussion  followed  the 
reading  of  the  minutes  of  the  last  meet- 
ing, participated  in  by  F.  R.  Pierson, 
W.  A.  Manda,  Arthur  Herrington, 
Henry  Weston  and  others.  A  motion 
to  reconsider  the  action  with  regard  to 
convention  entertainment,  proposed  by 
W.  A.  Manda,  was  defeated.  A  good 
deal  o-f  independent  entertainment  ap- 
parently is  planned.  Reports  indicate  a 
large  attendance  at  the  convention. 

A.  L.  Miller  announced  considerable 
space  in  the  Grand  Central  Palace  still 
available  for  trade  exhibits  and  Secre- 
tary Young  reported  10,000  square  feet 
sold  in  the  Convention  Garden  and  40,- 
000  square  feet  remaining.  He  sug- 
gested an  excellent  opportunity  for  the 
retail  florists  to  make  artistic  plant- 
ings. W.  A.  Manda  referred  to  his  in- 
terview with  Dr.  Britton,  who  expressed 
disappointment  at  the  small  space  al- 
lotted by  the  committee  and  gave  a 
promise  of  yearly  opportunity  for  ex-

'T^HE  original  Album  of  Designs  was  published  in  response  to  many  inquests  from  florists  who  felt  the  need  for 
A  an  up-to-date  book  that  could  be  used  in  taking  orders  for  Funeral  Designs,  Wedding  Decorations  and  Bouquets, 
Table  Decorations  and  all  cut  flower  work  where  it  was  not  practicable  to  show  the  customer  the  finished  article  as 
it  would  be  when  ready  for  use.  With  the  publication  of  this  album  it  became  possible  to  show  the  finished  work 
in  beautifully  printed  pictures.  The  first  edition  sold  like  hot  cakes,  a  second  and  third  edition  went  quickly.  Now 
a  fourth  edition  is  off  the  press.    Everything  "Bs  in  it— all  the  standard  designs  and  many  new  pieces. 

96  pages,  nearly  300  designs  and  decorations,  beautifully  printed  on 
heavy  art  paper,  handsomely  bound  in  a  cover  that  will  stand  wear

been  unsatisfactory.  The  montli  of  June

vious June;  lint  at  jiresent  there  is  an

was  most  beneficial,  as  the  stock  is 
larger  and  better  than  usual.  Long 
spikes  of  larkspur  are  seen  in  both  light 
and  dark  blue.  They  clear  well,  at  low 
prices.  Gaillardias,  coreopsis,  sweet 
Williams,  Shasta  daisies  and  syringas 
are  more  than  plentiful  and  are  used  ex- 
tensively in  window  displays.  Quan- 
tities of  America  gladioli  arrive  daily 
and  clear  nicely.  Bachelor 's  buttons  are 
in  fair  demand,  but  most  of  the  stores 
are   glutted   with   outdoor  roses. 

Tlie  daily  shipments  of  roses  arrive 
in  fine  condition.  Ophelia,  Hoosier, 
Beaut V  and  Sunburst  apparently  are 
the  best  sellers,  with  American  Beau- 
ties moving  slowly,  at  low  figures.  The 
supply  of  carnations  continues  to  be 
large'  and  there  are  many  inferior 
blooms.  Good  stock  brings  $2  per  hun- 
dred. There  still  is  an  ovorsupply  of 
Easter  lilies,  the  demand  being  weak. 
Snapdragons  and  gypsopliilas  are  used 
largelv  in  ])asket  and  vase  work.  Good 
Asi)ar:igus  jilumosus  and  Sprengeri  are 
in  livelv  demand,  and  tlie  market  is  well 
taken  care  of.  New  fancy  and  dagger 
ferns  sell  well. 

F.  Bannister,  of  Bannister  Bros.,  of 
Syracuse,  and  George  McCallum,  of  the

tions  are  favorable  they  expect  to  plant 
fifty  acres  more.  The  hardy  stock  is 
doing  specially  well.  Cosmos,  calen- 
dulas, phloxes,  etc.,  are  coming  along 
finely.  Their  tractors  are  working  both 
day  and  night.  The  vegetable  crop

The  Market. 

Business  is  fair  for  this  period  of  the 
summer,  but  stock  is  so  abundant  that 
prices  have  reached  a  low  level,  and 
few  high-grade  blooms  are  available. 
Roses  are  too  plentiful  and  the  majority 
are  short-stemmed.  Carnations  are  at 
the  end  of  their  season,  the  few  good 
ones  obtainable  being  rather  small. 
There  are  many  Easter  lilies  and  the 
receipts  of  outdoor  stock  include  excel- 
lent sweet  peas.  Gladioli  experience  a 
good  sale,  despite  the  liberal  supplies 
of  snapdragons,  rubrum  lilies,  gail- 
lardias    and    heliopsis. 

New  ferns  and  leucothoe  have  a 
heavy  call  and  the  shipping  business  in 
greens  is  excellent.  —

stock  and  bedding  and  vegetable  plants

says  he  turned  down  enough  business  to 
build  a  50-foot  addition  and  a  150-foot

range  just  that  much.

BOSTON. 

The  Market. 

There  is  little  of  an  encouraging  na- 
ture to  say  about'  the  cut  flower  busi- 
ness at  present.  The  bottom  appears  to 
have  completely  dropped  out  of  busi- 
ness, and  the  vv^holesale  markets  and  the 
stores  are  dull.  Supplies  are  steadily 
declining,  but  far  too  many  flowers  are 
arriving  for  the  limited  demand.  Out- 
side of  funeral  work  there  is  little  or  no 
demand  for  flowers,  and  these  condi- 
tions may  continue  during  the  heated 
period.  Roses  continue  abundant.  Many 
are  sold  as  low  as  $2.50  per  thou- 
sand. Carnations  continue  of  good 
quality,  Matchless  being  specially  fine, 
also  Alice,  Benora  and  xYIbert  Roper. 
Prices  rule  low.  Sweet  peas  are  now  all 
from  outdoors;  the  good  flowers  sell 
quite  well.  Cattleyas  are  somewhat 
scarce,  but  the  demand  is  feeble.  Gladi- 
oli are  abundant,  but  the  sales  are  slow. 
Lilies  are  hard  to  move.  A  few  asters 
have  appeared,  but  they  will  not  sell  so 
early  in  the  season.  Peonies  are  of  tlie 
past;  it  has  been  a  short  and  unsatisfac- 
tory season  for  them.  Delpliiniums  now 
are  in  their  glory.  They  are  unquestion- 
ably the  most  beautiful  of  our  hardy 
perennials,  all  colors  being  exquisite, 
and  they  are  fine  at  this  season  for  win- 
dow decorations.  The  bedding  plant 
trade  now  is  practically  over  for  the 
season. 

Various  Notes. 

William  Sim,  of  Cliftondale,  has  sev- 
eral fine  houses  of  Comet  tomatoes  from 
which  he  has  just  started  to  pick.  The 
sweet  peas  have  been  pulled  out  and 
their  place  occupied  by  asters.  Sweet 
Corn  Early  Cory  occupies  one  field  and 
is  always  a  profitable  crop.  Seeds  are 
started  under  glass. 

Mrs.  E.  K.  Farr,  of  Stoneham,  had 
a  successful  season  with  sweet  peas  un- 
der glass,  liaving   tliem  in  flower  from

James  Wheeler  started  to  plant  one

The  Market. 

The  weatlier  generally  remains  cool, 
although  there  were  a  few  warm  days 
during  the  week.  This  condition  keeps 
stock  in  fair  shape  and  business  as  a 
whole  is  holding  up  exceptionally  well. 
July  4  was  an  especially  good  day; 
the  sales  were  much  larger  than  hereto- 
fore. This  and  the  quantity  of  funeral 
work  that  came  in  througiiout  the  week 
helped  tremendously  to  make  the  week 
comiiare  favorably  with  the  same  week 
of  any  previous  year. 

The  supply  of  carnations  is  not  so 
large  as  it  has  been,  as  the  growers  are 
throwing  out  the  stock.  What  stock  of 
this  nature  there  is,  is  only  in  fair 
shape,  as  the  lateness  of  the  season  is 
manifest  in  the  poorer  quality  of  the 
cut.  Sweet  peas  are  on  the  last  lap  and 
are  not  moving  well.  The  quality  is 
poor  and  the  prices  realized  are  low.

it  is  only  a  question  of  a  few  warm 
days  when  this  stock  will  be  of  the  past. 
The  crop  this  season  was  not  satisfac- 
tory, principally  because  the  blooms 
wore  exceptionally  late  in  arriving  and 
then  they  all  came  at  once.  Lilies  are 
still  plentiful  and  the  cut  is  not  being 
liandled  with  any  degree  of  satisfaction. 
Valley  was  scarce  again  last  week  and, 
even  with  the  light  demand,  there  were 
some  orders  that  were  not  taken  care 
of. 

Roses  are  in  fine  condition,  although 
the  cut  is  becoming  smaller  every  day. 
The  demand,  especially  for  the  shorter 
stock,  has  been  good,  and  while  the  sup- 
ply has  been  equal  to  the  demand  there 
has  been  little  or  no  surplus.  Orchids 
are  moving  nicely;  they  are  of  good 
quality.  Spring  stock  is  just  about  out 
of  the  market;  what  there  is  is  not 
worth  much. 

A  few  warm  days  are  expected  to  put 
a  quietus  on  business  in  general  and 
make  vacation  days  more  popular,  al- 
though tliere  is  hardly  an  establishment 
in  town  which  has  not  a  part  of  its 
force  on  the  absent  list. 

Various  Notes.

arations are  l)eing  made  for  another 
blow-out.  H.  J.  S.

A  Summer  Window  Display. 

We  are  now  in  the  midst  of  the  sum- 
mer season,  when  the  store  business  is 
dull,  and  in  many  cases,  no  doubt,  it 
would  be  a  saving  to  close  for,  say,  three 
months;  but  there  must  be  someone  al- 
ways on  the  job,  as  orders  will  be  com- 
ing in  for  funeral  work,  either  at  home, 
or  by  mail,  or  telegraph. 

The  Avriter  has  been  through  many  a 
summer  season  that  has  tried  the  pa- 
tience almost  to  the  Itroaking  point. 
One  of  the  things  that  I  found  liardest 
to  do  at  such  times  was  to  keep  out  of

a  rut  and  from  just  letting  well  enough 
alone.  Indeed,  I  have  seen  a  store  win- 
dow fixed  up  and  left  till  the  spiders 
wove  their  webs  on  the  plants.  The 
florist  who  has  not  plenty  of  outdoor 
stock  is  often  at  his  wit 's  end  to  keep 
the  store  fresh  and  attractive  without 
spending  too  much  money,  and  to  give 
it  the  appearance  that  one  is  doing 
business,  even  if  most  of  the  patrons 
are  out  of  town. 

This  was  recalled  to  my  mind  vividly 
a  short  time  ago  by  a  church  Children 's 
daj'"  decoration.  Like  most  churches, 
this  one  did  not  have  much  money  to 
spend  for  flowers,  but  it  did  have  a 
flower  committee  that  was  ready  to  go 
ahead  and  make  the  little  the  committee 
members  had  go  as  far  as  possible.  The 
writer,  as  he  looked  upon  the  finished 
decoration  Sunday  morning^  realized 
that  there  was  a  job  of  decorating  that 
had  cost  $5  and  that  $40  or  $50  might 
liave  been  paid  for  one  not  so  attractive 
as  this. 

A  Tip  from  a  Church. 

Xow,  this  column  is  to  help  those  in 
tlie  trade.  The  writer  remembers  many 
makcsliifts  just  like  this  Children's 
day  decoration  that  have  made  a  hit 
with  tlie  people  who  know  real  floral 
decorating.  I  am  going  to  describe 
this  decoration,  as  it  may  be  a  hint  that 
will  help  some  fellow  who  is  at  his 
wit's  end  this  summer  and  is  disgusted 
with  the  store;  is  doing  no  business;  is 
grouchy  and  does  not  know  what  is 
wrong  with  him.  It  is  then  that  the 
work,  for  that  is  all  it  will  take,  will  do 
him  good.  Every  store  must  have  a 
little  stock  each  day  and  the  thing  is  to 
have  that  little  arranged  to  the  best 
advantage.  Here  is  where  that  church 
decoration  conies  in. 

The  basis  of  the  whole  thing  came 
from  the  woods.  In  these  days  of  au- 
tomobiles, anyone  can  run  out  into  the 
country  and  cut  a  good  armful  of  scrub 
oak  foliage.  Take  your  time  and  pick 
out  good,  full  branches,  and  be  sure  to 
get  plenty  of  the  pin  variety.    You  will

know  this  by  its  skeleton-like  leaves. 
It  keeps  best  and  makes  a  better  back- 
ground for  any  sort  of  flowers  you  may 
have.  Now,  around  most  stores 
there  are  plenty  of  baskets  with  tins 
that  can  be  filled  with  water.  Fill 
these  with  your  mixed  oak  foliage  and 
you  have  receptacles  for  your  day's 
stock.  Say,  for  instance,  you  have  a 
dozen  and  a  half  or  two  dozen  pink 
gladioli,  or  gladioli  of  any  other  color. 
Just  arrange  the  blooms  by  themselves 
in  a  good  big  basket  of  the  pin  oak 
foliage  and  let  such  a  basket  be  the 
centerpiece  for  the  window,  with  a  few 
smaller  ones  around  it.  Have  the  win- 
dow j)erfectly  clean  and,  above  all,  do 
not  crowd;  do  not  try  to  see  how  much 
you  can  get  into  it. 

Or,  liere  is  another  idea.  There  will 
be  Easter  lilies  coming  in  cheap.  Who 
has  not  seen  a  bunch  of  these  put  to- 
gether in  a  vase  without  green  of  any 
kind?  Tlie  writer  saw  one  the  other 
morning  in  a  window  and  it  certainly 
looked  gliastly.  Take,  for  instance, 
this  same  bunch  of  lilies  arranged  in 
a  pretty  l)asket,  or  in  a  large  vase  of 
pin  oak  foliage,  and  you  have  a  thing 
of  beauty.  Anything  with  fairly  long 
stems  can  be  used.  Just  try  it  for  a 
week,  for  your  foliage  will  last  that 
long,  and  see  how  interested  you  will 
become  in  your  work.  See  if  keeping 
tlio  store  looking  spick-and-span  does 
not  become  a  pleasure,  instead  of  a 
labor.

Stoel:  moved  slowly,  as  nearly  all  the 
business  done  by  retailers  was  in  funer- 
al work,  which  has  been  plentiful. 

The  extremely  hot  weather  recently 
has  lowered  the  supply  of  stock  at  the 
wholesale  liouses.  However,  there  is 
some  good  stock  coming  despite  the  lack 
of  rain.  Carnations  are  soft  and  small 
and  the  price  is  low.  The  few  fancy 
grades  clean  up  daily  at  fair  prices. 
Good  roses,  too,  are  scarce,  although 
some  excellent  Russell,  Ophelia  and 
Hadley  roses  from  outside  shippers  were 
seen  last  week. 

Gladioli  are  selling  well  and  good  con- 
signments are  received  from  local  grow- 
ers. Sweet  peas  are  inferior  and  have 
short  stems.  Easter  lilies  are  coming 
in  good  quality  and  sell  well.  Valley  is 
scarce.  The  above,  with  considerable 
outdoor  stock,  make  up  the  daily  sup- 
ply.   Good  greens  sell  well. 

Various  Notes. 

Edward  Kalisch,  manager  of  the  re- 
tail store  of  the  Kalisch  Bros.  Floral 
Co.,  says  the  company's  farm  in  St. 
Louis  county  is  producing  quantities  of 
outdoor  stock  such  as  sweet  peas,  gla- 
dioli, gypsophilas,  cornflowers  and  gail- 
lardias.  A  fine  crop  of  asters  is  coming 
on.  John  Kaliscli  is  in  charge  of  the  es- 
tablishment. 

The  employees  of  Henry  G.  Berning 
are  taking  their  vacations  one  at  a  time. 
Tliey  will  all  be  back  in  time  to  let  Mr. 
Berning  make  the  trip  to  New  York 
city  to  attend  the  S.  A.  F.  convention 
in   August. 

Marion  Uhlschmidt,  manager  of  the 
Grimm  &  Gorly  store  in  East  St.  Louis, 
says  the  rioting  there  did  not  in  the 
least  affect  the  store's  business.  The 
season  was  exceptionally  good  and  busi- 
ness tills  summer  has  been  up  to  expec- 
tations. 

Jules  Bourdet,  state  vice-president  of 
the  S.  A.  F.,  continues  to  work  among 
the  local  florists  interesting  them  in  the 
S.  A.  F.  convention  in  New  York  city 
next  month.  He  says  the  representation 
trom  St.  Louis  will  be  large. 

Henry  D.uringberg,  head  designer  for 
Grimm  &  Gorly,  is  away  on  a  two 
weeks'  vacation.  He  would  not  tell 
where  he  was  going  and  members  of  the 
firm  assert  that  as  Dan  Cupid  has  been 
on  his  trail,  there  is  likely  to  be  an  in-

What  cliance  will  there  be  to  get  valley 
pips  across  the  seas  this  autumn? 

Augustus  H.  Goodwin,  of  the  W.  W. 
Barnard  Co.,  vnW  be  74  years  of  age  July 
16.     He  is  at  his  office  every  day. 

The  seed  trade  will  learn  with  regret 
of  the  death  of  Philippe  de  Vilmorin,  head 
of  the  widely  known  house  of  Vilmorin, 
Andrieux  et  Cie,  Paris,  which  occurred 
June  30. 

The  Everette  E.  Peacock  Co.,  Chicago 
onion  set  dealer,  has  been  incorporated 
with  $100,000  authorized  capital  stock, 
the  objects  being  to  grow  and  deal  in 
bulbs,  plants  and  seeds. 

The  final  meeting  of  the  creditors  of 
the  Griswold  Seed  Co.,  which  has  been 
adjudged  bankrupt,  will  be  held  July  18  at 
the  otKce  of  Daniel  H.  McClenahan,  ref- 
eree in  bankruptcy,  Lincoln,  Neb.  The 
meeting  is  called  to  pass  on  the  report  of 
the  trustee,  hear  and  allow  claims  not 
heretofore  allowed,  allow  compensation  to 
the  attorney  for  the  bankrupt  company 
and  to  the  trustee,  and  to  declare  and  pay 
a  final  dividend. 


WISCONSIN   PEAS  POOR. 

"We  have  just  spent  four  days  in 
making  a  tliorough  canvass  of  ])racti- 
cally  the  entire  situation  in  Wiscon- 
sin," savs  D.  D.  Rowlands,  president 
of  the  John  H.  Allan  Heed  Co.,  Sheboy- 
gan. "We  have  five  difforent  growing 
sections  scattered  througliout  tlie  state 
and  on  our  tri]»  we  talked  with  at  least 
a  dozen  or  nu)re  of  tlio  leading  canners 
of  the  state.  Not  one  of  these  gentle- 
men cxjieets  more  than  sixty-six  and 
two-tliirds  ]ier  tout  of  a  crop  and  the 
majority  of  them  expect  between  forty 
and  fifty  ]>er  cent  of  a  crop.  We,  our- 
selves, will  do  well  if  we  pull  out  with 
a  fifty  to  sixty  per  cent  of  a  normal 
crop. 

"  Tlie  southern  ]»ait  of  the  state  has 
been  drenched  with  water,  thousands  of 
acres  now  being  under  water.  One  can- 
ner  told  us  part  of  his  buildings  were 
washed  away,  part  of  his  machinery 
destroyed  and  his  entire  coal  supply 
washed  to  points  down  stream.  There 
has  been  no  growing  weather  to  speak 
of  up  to  the  present  date  (July  6). 
Occasionally  one  finds  fields  that  have 
a  good  apj)earance  from  the  road,  the 
vines  of  good  color,  but  closer  inspection

that  changes  were  being  made  in  the 
Burpee  organization,  following  the

ficulties  the  seed  trade  has  been  under 
for  the  past  year  or  two.  First,  it  has 
been  next  to  impossible  to  get  many 
seeds  in  from  Europe,  and  then  the  de- 
mand for  seeds  has  increased  in  many 
cases   more    than    100   per    cent. 

"For  nearly  three  months  last  winter 
we  worked  day  and  night,  but  even 
with  this  twenty-four  hours  a  day  serv- 
ice we  were  unable  to  get  orders  out 
with  our  usual  record  of  promptness. 

"In  regard  to  the  shortage  in  seeds, 
of  course  we  are  doing  all  we  can  to 
grow  more  in  this  country.  But  in  many 
cases  the  seeds  that  formerly  were  im- 
ported from  Europe  were  those  of  root 
crops  and  other  biennials  of  which,  of 
course,  it  takes  two  years  to  produce 
the  seed. 

"It  'is  unnecessary  for  me  to  tell 
you  how  difficult  the  labor  situa^^on 
has  been.  Because  of  the  great  number 
of  munitions  factories  in  this  section,  I 
believe  man  power  is  more  scarce  in 
Philadelphia  than  in  almost  any  other 
well  settled  section  of  the   country. 

"These  changed  conditions  having 
come  after  my  father's  death  made  it 
necessary  for  us  to  almost  completely 
reorganize.  Especially  was  this  so  as 
our  cashier,  A.  Eldridge  Brown,  died 
only  a  few  months  after  my  father. 
When  we  lost  Mr.  Brown  my  brother 
stepped  in  and  took  full  charge  of  the 
cashier's  department.  He  has  con- 
tinued in  that  position  and  now  is  act- 
ing treasurer. 

"Our  Mr.  Bougy,  of  course,  has  con- 
tinued in  charge  of  the  bookkeeping 
department  and  W.  F.  Therkildson  as 
advertising  manager. 

"Howard  M.  Earl  is  well  known  in 
the  seed  trade  because  of  his  activity 
with  us  for  nearly  thirty  years.  For 
a  number  of  years  he  has  been  in  close 
touch  with  the  producing  end  of  our 
business  and  has  been  also  acting  as 
superintendent  of  our  buildings  and 
warehouses.  Because  of  the  increased 
volume  of  business  and  the  more  diffi- 
cult conditions  under  which  we  now 
operate,  we  have  thought  best  to  divide 
these  responsibilities.  Mr.  Earl,  be- 
cause of  his  long  years  of  experience, 
has  been  made  production  manager  and 
is  now  directly  responsible  for  the  eco- 
nomic management  of  all  our  farms, 
the  placing  of  contracts,  the  purchase 
of  stock  from  reliable  sources,  the  in- 
spection of  crops  and  the  conduct  of 
trials  both  to  prove  the  viability  and 
pureness  to  type  of  everything  sold  by 
W.  Atlee  Burpee  &  Co.  In  this  con- 
nection George  W.  Kerr  cooperates  as 
superintendent  of  the  trial  grounds  and 
as  sweet  pea  expert.

SPECIAL  TRIAL  OFFER 


^        Field  of  Rando  Brand  Giganteum,  just  after  flowering.    Note  our  sign. 


WHY  THIS  UNUSUAL  ACTION 
IS  TAKEN  AT  THIS  TIME 


Randall  Japanese  Lily  Bulbs  are  superior 
and  positively  will  produce.  They  are  the 
select  product  of  Japanese  bulb-growing  in- 
dustry, and  are  sold  through  a  reputation  of 
quality.  We  are  not  only  willing  to  back  up 
this  assertion,  but  we  are  going  to  do  so  right 
here  and  now. 

Practically  every  dealer  who  has  bulbs  to 
sell  has  told  you  they  are  the  best.  Sold  only 
on  quality,  not  price.  They  know  you  realize 
that  an  inferior  bulb  is  a  poor  investment  at 
any  price.  But  you  cannot  know  what  the 
bulbs  are  until  you  have  bought  them. 


Therefore  we  are  going  to  give  you  the  opportunity  of  knowing  exactly  what  our  bulbs  are  like, 
and  prove  to  you  before  you  place  your  fall  order  that  our  claim  of  quality  is  justified. 


I  THE  OFFER 

i     FOR  IMMEDIATE  DELIVERY 


We  have  only  200  cases  of  cold  storage  Lily 
Bulbs  on  hand  and  are,  therefore,  obliged  to 
limit  our  offer  to  any  one  grower  to  not  more 
than  5  cases,  so  that  a  larger  number  may 
take  advantage  of  the  offer. 

These  bulbs  are  7/!>  Giganteum.  Packed  ')00 
to  the  case,  and  ready  for  immediate  delivery. 

Only  1  to  5  cases  to  the  customer  and  orders 
taken  subject  to  stock  unsold.

follow  the  beautiful  custom  of  our  European  allies,

ity Pansy  Seed.    Toole's  Giant  Prize  Strain  is

are  large,  well  formed,  with  pronounced  color 
markings.

THE  HARRISII  CROP. 

T^i'nder  date  of  June  20,  Consul  Carl 
Looj),  of  Hamilton,  Bermuda,  wrote  as 
follows  of  the  Harrisii  bulb  crop  now 
about  to  move: 

"According  to  a  special  rej)ort  fur- 
nished by  the  Director  of  Agricidturc 
of  Bermuda,  the  acreage  under  lily  b'llb 
cultivation  is  ])robably  a  little  larger 
this  year  than  last.  It  a])])ears  that  on 
account  of  the  dullness  of  the  market 
last  season  a  number  of  the  growers 
were  not  able  to  dis])ose  of  all  their 
bulbs,  which  have  been  used  for  replant- 
ing this  year.  The  fields  of  careful 
growers  apjiear  to  be  in  good  condition, 
and  if  there  is  sufficient  rainfall  be- 
tween now  and  the  time  of  gathering 
the  bulbs,  the  crop  should  be  above  the 
average  of  recent  years,  and  equal,  por- 
hajts,  to  the  good  crop  of  last  year."

Skidding  around  on  an

gently  landing  in  a  clo-

Delphi,  Ind. — Harry  P.  Myers  has 
sold  an  interest  in  his  greenhouse  es- 
tablishment to  Edwin  Baum  and  July  2 
Myers  &  Baum,  the  new  firm,  took  over 
the  business.  The  firm  is  adding  a 
third  greenliouse  to  its  range.  It  is 
36x100,  of  John  C.  ^Moninger  Co.  con- 
struction. Materials  are  on  the  ground 
ready  for  erection.  "With  this  addition, 
Myers  &  Baum  will  have  12,000  feet  of 
glass.  Mr.  Myers  says  business  was 
good  last  season,  much  better  than  he 
expected. 

Marion,  la. — A  severe  winter  that 
killed  much  outdoor  stock  was  followed 
by  a  slow  spring  season,  but  now  and 
then  there  have  been  pleasant  things  to 
clear  away  the  blues,  according  to  L.  W.

Fresno,  Cal. — Fire  destroyed  the 
greenhouse  of  W.  W.  McAvoy  June  22, 
the  blaze  starting  from  the  embers  of  a 
brush  bonfire.  The  loss  is  placed  at  ap- 
proximately $1,000. 

Seattle,  Wash. — In  the  professional 
class  of  exhibits  at  the  Seattle  rose 
show  June  25,  prizes  were  awarded  to 
the  Lindley  Nurseries  for  the  best  ex- 
hibit of  roses;  Thomas  Wylie  for  the 
best  general  exhibit  and  Aabling  & 
Bovce  for  the  most  artistic  exhibit. 


PALMS  ON  THE  PACIFIC. 

The  Pacific  northwest  has  looked  to 
the  east  for  its  palms,  eastern  houses 
shipping  large  quantities  to  Oregon  and 
Washington,  but  the  development  of 
the  trade  in  those  states  is  resulting  in 
the  building  up  of  stocks  of  decorative 
plants.  A  glimpse  of  one  of  these  is 
afforded  by  the  accompanying  illustra- 
tion, prepared  from  a  photograph  made 
at  the  establishment  of  Kahn  &  Her- 
bert Co.,  Clackamas,  Ore. 


SAN  FRANCISCO. 


The  Market. 


With  cooler  weather,  stock  is  better 
than  it  was  a  week  ago.  It  is  difficult, 
however,  to  procure  enough  good  carna- 
tions to  supply  the  demand,  and  the 
majority  of  tlie  roses  are  not  up  to 
standard.  In  both  instances  first-class 
flowers  clear  readily,  at  rather  stiff 
])rices.  In  view  of  the  wide  assortment 
of  other  stock,  poor  carnations  and 
roses  are  hard  to  move  at  any  figure. 
Quantities  of  sweet  peas  are  disposed 
of  daily,  but  the  last  of  the  crop  is  in 
sight.  Tlie  gladiolus  is  the  flower  most 
in  evidence  now,  but  the  demand  keeps 
the  large  cut  from  accumulating  and 
there  is  little  fear  that  the  supply 
will  become  burdensome.  Double  core- 
opsis is  offered  in  large  quantities  and 
some  of  tlie  retailers  report  that  it  is 
selling  better  than  the  single.  A  new 
light  jtiiik  scabiosa  is  liaving  an  excel- 
lent  sale. 

Otlier  outdoor  flowers  demanding  a 
good  sliare  of  attention  include  gail- 
lardias,  sweet  williams,  larkspurs, 
candytuft,  snapdragons,  daisies,  etc. 
Goldc'urod  lias  made  its  appearance.  A 
few  rubrum  lilies  have  been  seen,  but 
not  enough  to  make  much  impression 
on  tlie  market;  auratums  are  fairly 
])lentiful.  Easter  lilies  are  in  lighter 
sii}i])ly  and  probably  will  not  last  much 
longer.  The  quality  has  held  up  un- 
usually well  this  year,  and  so  lias  the 
demand.  The  valley  situation  has  im- 
proved somewhat,  both  with  regard  to 
quantity  and  quality,  but  it  is  still 
diflficult  to  get  enough  good  cattloyas 
to  meet  all  requirements.  The  cut  of 
gardenias  is  easily  disposed  of.  The 
new  dagger  and  fancy  ferns  are  being 
well  received.  Asparagus  is  rather 
scarce,  but  there  is  plenty  of  adiantum. 
In  flowering  plants  there  is  a  good  call 
for  Canterbury  l)ells,  gloxinias  and 
A])]deblossom  primroses. 

Red,  white  and  blue  flowers  of  all 
kinds  Avere  in  particularly  strong  de-

florists  were  called  upon  to  make  up 
dozens  and  dozens  of  baskets  and  bou- 
quets of  which  the  patriotic  color 
scheme  was  the  principal  feature. 

Various  Notes. 

M.  Donioto,  of  Domoto  Bros.,  has  as- 
sumed his  duties  here  after  spending 
two  weeks  in  Los  Angeles  and  vicinity, 
where  he  combined  busines  with  pleas- 
ure. He  reports  business  seasonably 
good. 

J.  Onislii,  of  the  United  Flower  & 
Supply  Co.,  ('X)iects  to  have  a  fine  cut 
of  asters  by  tie  middle  of  this  month. 
He  says  the  acreage  devoted  to  this 
flower  is  unusually  large  this  year  and 
that  the  crop  is  in  splendid  condition. 
The  lieavy  planting  is  due  largely  to  the 
fact  that  several  Japanese  growers  gave 
up  sweet  peas  this  season  for  asters. 


Richard  Diener  is  sending  down  a  nice 
cut  of  hybrid  gladioli  from  his  place 
at  Kenfield. 

N.  F.  Baldocchi,  of  Podesta  &  Bal- 
docchi,  is  expected  back  at  the  store 
soon,  after  an  absence  of  three  months 
for  the  benefit  of  his  health.  When  he 
gets  back  in  harness,  Victor  Podesta 
plans  an  automobile  trip  to  Lake  Tahoe 
and  the  Yosemite.  In  checking  up  the 
books  for  June,  Mr.  Podesta  was  pleased 
to  find  a  nice  increase  in  business  over 
the  corresponding  month  last  year.  He 
reports  an  unusually  brisk  demand  for 
gladioli,  which,  in  his  opinion,  are  par- 
ticularly fine  this  season. 

Frank  Claverie  reports  business  good. 
He  is  having  a  new  line  of  vases  made. 

O.  Lundberg,  proprietor  of  Lund-

His  store  is  being  rearranged  to  excel-

pied by  a  concern  handling  art  goods 
lias  been  added  to  the  salesroom. 

W.  Kirkman,  Jr.,  president  of  the 
Kirkman  Nurseries,  Inc.,  Fresno,  Cal., 
was  a  recent  visitor. 

Manuel  Eolleri,  of  San  Bruno,  Cal., 
is  sending  in  fine  Boston  ferns. 

Mrs.  Klein,  who  has  charge  of  tlie 
Darbee  business  during  the  absence  of 
the  proprietress,  is  well  pleased  with  the 
volume  of  business  being  done.  The 
latest  cards  received  from  Mrs.  Darbee 
were  from  Grant's  Pass,  Ore.,  telling  of 
a   delightful   trip. 

Albert  O.  Stein  left  for  Stockton, 
Cal.,  for  a  week-end  trip.  He  had  a 
large  wedding  decoration  in  that  city. 
W.  Scanlon,  of  the  force,  left  for  Los 
Angeles  July  2  for  a  two  weeks'  vaca- 
tion. Norman  Marcus,  who  has  been 
with  this  establishment  for  some  time, 
gave  uj)  Ills  ])osition  the  first  of  the 
month  to  prepare  for  active  service  in 
France.  Patrick  Orr  is  back  after  a 
month's  absence,  which  turned  out  dif- 
ferently than  he  had  planned.  Instead 
of  an  extended  trip  in  the  east,  he 
buried   his   father. 

MacRorie  &  McLaren  have  renewed 
their  contract  for  a  year  wath  Tait's 
restaurant,  one  of  the  largest  accounts 
of  the  kind  for  cut  flowers  on  the  Pa- 
cific coast.  Daniel  MacRorie  and  his 
family  spent  the  week  end  at  Santa 
Cruz.  Donald  McLaren  and  Walter 
Hofingholf  made  a  short  trij)  to  Sacra- 
mento last  week,  ])aying  a  visit  while 
there  to  Mark  p]bel. 

Charles  Stajipenbach  has  been  si)end- 
ing  his  vacation  at  Santa  Cruz.  His 
brother  re])orts  l)usiness  good  for  the 
"quietest  time  of  the  year." 

The  Art  P"'loral  Co.  had  an  elabor- 
ate Fourth  of  July  window  display.  In 
one  window  was  a  large  flag  of  red, 
w'hite  and  blue  flowers,  and  in  the  other 
was  a  shield  and  red,  white  and  blue 
baskets.  Spot  lights  were  installed  in 
the    windows    to    bring    out    the    colors. 

David  Lichtenstein,  the  Terminal

LOS  ANGELES,  CAL. 


The  Market. 


The  holiday  feeling  is  in  the  air  and 
the  mountains,  streams  and  beaches  are 
more  thought  of  and  talked  about  than 
flowers.  With  it  all  there  has  been  a 
fair  demand,  principally  for  wedding 
and  funeral  work.  The  shipping  business 
has  diminished  until  there  is  little  do- 
ing, and  if  there  were  good  business, 
the  quality  of  much  of  the  stock  is  such 
that  most  of  the  long-distance  ship- 
ments would  be  out  of  the  question. 
Gladioli  are  good  again,  having  with- 
stood the  heat  well,  but  most  of  the 
outdoor  stock  is  valueless.  Sweet  peas 
are  more  plentiful,  but  not  particularly 
good.  Other  flowers  are  fairly  good,  but 
meet  with  little  demand.

in  color  than  some  others  sent  out  under 
tliis  name,  but  witli  stiffer  stems  and  of

was  the  originator  of  this  and  many 
other  fine  dahlias. 

Robert  Newcomb,  representative  of 
the  American  Bulb  Co.,  Chicago,  ar- 
rived in  this  city  June  29.  He  reports 
good  business  on  his  trip  out  and  says 
he  is  going  to  spend  a  day  or  two  with 
his  folks  in  San  Dinias  before  laying 
siege   to    Los    Angeles. 

Miss  Kate  Parsons,  of  Fresno,  made 
a  trip  to  Los  Angeles  this  week,  partly 
on  account  of  the  illness  of  her  sister, 
but  also  to  look  up  stock.  She  reports 
business  as  being  exceptionally  good 
for  the  heated  term. 

A.  F.  Borden,  of  the  Redondo  Floral 
Co.,  has  been  taking  a  few  days  off  fin- 
ishing up  the  home  gardening  that  he 
started  early  in  the  year.  Albert  Knopf 
is  going  to  start  out  later  and  build  him- 
self a  summer  cottage  on  his  lemon 
ranch  in  Orange  county.  Mr.  Knopf 
says  he  is  not  a  good  carpenter.  If  the 
boards  are  cut  to  fit  he  can  use  the 
little  hammer,  but  not  for  knocking  the 
other  fellow. 

Fred  Sperry,  of  the  L.  A.  Floral  Co., 
took  a  short  vacation  over  the  Fourth.

The  Florists'  Review 


July  12,  1917. 


At  tlie  California  Cut  Flower  Co.  store 
some  excellent  gladioli  are  being  shown 
and  the  roses,  as  usual,  are  extra  fine. 

Arthur  Howard,  of  Howard  &  Smith, 
stole  a  march  on  his  friends  recently 
when  he  said  h6  was  going  away  for  a 
ten  days'  trip  to  Catalina.  This  he  did, 
but  first  of  all — June  14,  to  be  exact — 
he  was  married  to  Mrs.  Minnie  Plun- 
kett,  and  the  trip  was  a  honeymoon. 

S.  Murata  &  Co.  report  a  falling  off 
in   out-of-town    shipments.

PORTLAND,  ORE. 


Business  is  stagnant,  there  being  few 
funerals,  social  affairs  or  other  means 
of  moving  stock,  which  is  abundant. 
Auratum  lilies  now  are  more  prominent 
and  more  useful.  English  and  Japanese 
irises  are  plentiful  and  make  fine  win- 
dow displays. 

The  National  Educational  Association 
is  holding  its  annual  convention  here 
this  week  and  there  has  been  much 
stock  used  for  decorative  purposes. 

The  Floral  Society  held  its  annual 
picnic  July  4  at  Sciinorr's  park,  near 
Oregon  City.  The  attendance  was  not 
so  large  as  last  year,  but  everyone  had 
a  good  time.  There  were  races,  games, 
dancing  and  plenty  to  eat.  Otto  Panzer 
tried  to  catch  some  trout,  but  when  he 
liad  a  large  one  hooked,  he  remembered 
that  his  license  was  not  in  his  pocket — 
so  he  says — and  let  tlie  fish  go.  The 
picnickers  extended  their  thanks  to  Au- 
gust Zitzewitz,  the  chairman  of  the 
committee  in  charge  of  the  affair,  for 
making  the  outing  so  pleasant. 

James  Forbes  and  R.  W.  Scott  mo- 
tored to  the  Tillamook  beaches  July  4. 

Charles  Welby,  who  has  been  inter- 
ested in  the  Swiss  Floral  Co.,  has  sev- 
ered his  connection  with  the  company. 
J.  G.  Bacher  is  now  in  charge  of  the 
company 's  affairs. 

Julius  Broetje  is  planting  a  pond  with 
water  lilies  of  the  red,  pink,  blue  and 
yellow  varieties.  At  present  he  is  bring- 
ing in  a  large  sup])ly  of  the  whites, 
which  find  a  ready  sale.        W.  G.  W. 


TACOMA,  WASH, 


The  Market. 

Business  is  not  quite  so  brisk  as  it 
was  last  week.  The  staple  stock  is  plen- 
tiful and  only  choice  carnations  find  a 
sale  in  box  orders.  Peonies  are  abun- 
dant, but  their  quality  is  not  up  to  the 
standard.  Many  fine  plants  undoubt- 
edly were  blighted  by  the  late  frost. 
Good  peas  are  now  more  than  sufficient 
for  the  demand;  outdoor-grown  peas  are 
just  starting  to  bloom.  Outdoor  roses 
are  at  their  best.  The  cool,  late  season 
has  brought  out  perfect  blooms;  in  fact, 
it  is  difticult  to  tell-  them  from  green- 
liouse-grown  stock.  Delphiniums  are 
now  quite  plentiful,  with  the  demand 
good. 

Tliere  is  an  increased  demand  for 
old-fashioned  flowers  and  perennials. 
Funeral  and  decorative  work  continues 
in  a  satisfactory  manner,  but  counter 
sales  have  dropped  off  to  some  extent, 
probably  on  account  of  the  large  stock 
of  outdoor  roses. 

Various  Notes. 

Henry  Benthien  has  shipped  some  of 
tlie  finest  peonies  grown  locally  this  sea- 
son. He  also  has  a  fine  lot  of  delphin- 
iums and  Canterbury  bells.

FISCHER'S  SPLENDENS 

A  MAGNIFICENT  LAVENDER  FREESIA 

The  only  commercial  colored  Freesia  in  the  world,  not  to  be  compared  or 
judged  in  the  same  class  with  any  other  colored  Freesia.  It  stands  alone  for 
size,  strength,  beauty  and  fragrance.  The  flowers  are  very  large,  with  long, 
heavy  stems  with  foliage  reaching  well  up  the  stems,  and  are  highly  fragrant. 

It  is  a  Freesia  that  will  stand  the  test  of  time  and  will  be  grown  by  all 
florists  when  stock  can  be  offered  at  commercial  pr.ces.  Was  awarded  a  Cer- 
tificate of  Merit  at  the  Pasadena  Flower  Show. 

Stock  is  limited;  send  in  your  orders  as  soon  as  possible.  Is  offered  in  two  shades  of 
color,  a  bluish  lavender  and  a  reddish  lavender.  Only  good  si/ed.  flowering  bulbs  are 
offered.  PRICE:    Per  dozen,  $3.50;    per  lOO,  $20.00. 

Cash  with  order.  Sent  postpaid.  July  delivery.

aised  in  this  way  is  a  part  of  the  orig- 

iial  and  just  as  old;  it  is  the  same  plant. 

i  11  connection  with  this  fact  it  should 

■)0   noted   that   when   a    carnation    gets 

•cady  to  sport,  it  freruently  sports  in 

overal   places   at   the   same   time.     So 

'vell  is  this  fact  known  by  judges  that 

,vhen    a   sport   is   put   before   them   for 

rertification  the  award,  if  considered,  is 

•generally  withheld  until  it  is  found  if 

I  he  sport  has  appeared  elsewhere. 

Propagation  by  Layering. 

Layering  is  nature's  favorite  way. 
She  does  it  quite  openly.  To  get  a  plant 
on  its  own  roots  is  a  good  way,  and  in 
some  caseSj  if  not  the;  only  way,  it  is  the 
l)est  and  most  practical  way.  Ehodo- 
dendrons  cannot  well  be  rooted  from 
cuttings.  I  do  not  say  it  is  impossible, 
for  what  one  cannot  do  another  may, 
but  for  most  people  it  is  impracticable 
to  root  rhododendrons  from  cuttings. 
They  can  be  layered,  though  it  may 
take  two  years  to  do  it.  Layering  for 
rhododendrons  is,  in  my  opinion,  best 
for  this  country,  and,  in  the  opinion  of 
at  least  one  noted  grower,  is  best  for 
any  country. 

In  foreign  countries  the  most  easily 
workable  stock  for  grafting  rhododen- 
drons is  ponticum,  a  plant  of  uncertain 
liardiness  in  itself  here.  It  is  well 
enough  to  use  it  for  a  stock  if  grafted 
low  enough  so  that  the  scion  gets  on 
its  own  roots,  but  it  is  uncertain  and 
short-lived  as  a  stock.  The  result  is 
that  when  we  import  rhododendrons, 
unless  we  get  layered  plants  we  get 
something  not  dependable. 

As  a  rule,  plants  that  will  not  layer 
are  difficult  to  root  from  cuttings.  I 
have  never  seen  pines,  hemlocks  or  firs 
layer  naturally,  or  even  artificially,  nor 
liave  I  been  able  to  root  them  from  cut- 
tings. As  I  said  before,  nature  often 
shows  the  way  and  we  frequently  find 
hydrangeas,  loniceras,  deutzias,  forsy- 
thias,  viburnums,  currants,  gooseberries 
and  grape  vines  rooting  wherever  they 
happen  to  strike  the  ground.  With  this 
hint,  man  goes  nature  one  better  by 
making  cuts  in  the  stem,  bending  the 
branch  to  the  soil  and  covering  it  with 
prepared  loam. 

Formerly  carnations  were  rooted 
mostly  by  layering.  We  had  not  be- 
come acquainted  with  the  expeditious 
methods  now  in  use  in  this  country, 
where  they  are  rooted  by  tens  of  thou- 
sands from  cuttings. 

Grafting  and  Budding. 

Grafting  has  been  said  by  one  nota- 
ble authority  to  be  a  makeshift  at  best. 
I  will  not  venture  to  disagree  with  that 
authority.  It  is  a  valuable  makeshift, 
nevertheless.  In  this,  as  in  all  other 
methods  of  propagation,  nature  has 
shown  the  way  and  examples  of  natural 
grafting,  while  not  numerous,  are  still 
common  enough  to  have  come  within  the 
observation  of  most  gardeners  and  oth- 
.ers  interested  in  horticulture.  With  few 
exceptions,  plants  would  prefer  to  be 
on  their  own  roots  and  they  make  stren- 
uous efforts  to  get  there  if  given  a 
chance. 

Nevertheless,  grafting  is  indispensa- 
ble and  few  processes  have  added  more 
to  the  material  welfare  of  mankind.  We

had  to  depend  on  other  methods. 

There  are  various  methods  of  graft- 
ing and  budding,  but  all  depend  on 
one  thing  and  that  is  the  union  of  the 
cambium  layers  of  stock  and  scion.  The 
cambium  layer  lies  between  the  bark 
and  the  wood.  It  is  here  all  annual 
growth  is  made.  It  is  the  center  of  the 
plant's  activities,  the  life  center.  A 
tree  may  be  perfectly  hollow  and  live 
so  long  as  the  cambium  is  uninjured.

It  is  a  quite  general  report  that  shrubs 
did  not  sell  so  well  this  spring  as  usual. 
The  gardening  enthusiasm  was  centered 
on  potatoes  and  other  comestibles. 

The  nonarrival  of  the  spring  shipments 
of  bay  trees  and  boxwoods  cut  down  the 
spring  sales  of  a  number  of  dealers  so 
much  that  increased  sales  in  other  lines  do 
not  make  the  season  compare  favorably 
with  last  year.

June  27  to  29,  has  been  engaged  in  the 
nursery  business  in  Texas  since  1891 
and    for    a    number    of    vears    has    been

prominent  in  southern  nurserymen's  as-

1912  in  shipments  of  nursery  stock, 
mostly  from  Germany.  Between  these 
dates  probably  10,000,000  small  white 
pine  trees  were  imported,  most  of  them 
coming  to  the  New  England  states. 
Many  shipments,  however,  are  known  to 
have  been  made  to  the  states  of  Ohio, 
Michigan,  Illinois,  Indiana,  Iowa  and 
Minnesota,  and  to  have  been  sent  out  by 
nurserymen  to  parks,  cemeteries  and 
private  planters. 

A  peculiarity  of  the  rust  parasite  is 
that  it  has  two  classes  of  hosts,  white 
pines  and  species  of  ribes;  that  is,  cur- 
rants and  gooseberries.  So  far  as  known 
the  disease  can  not  pass  from  pine  to 
pine,  but  must  pass  from  pine  to  the 
currant  or  gooseberry,  and  then  back  to 
the  pine.  On  the  pines  the  disease  takes 
the  form  of  a  blister  or  canker  and  has 
been  found  on  main  stem,  branch  and 
twig.  On  the  currant  and  gooseberry 
the  rust  forms  small  orange  spots  or  mi- 
nute orange  or  brown  hair-like  projec- 
tions on  the  under  side  of  the  leaf.  The 
life  history  of  the  organism  causing  the 
blister  rust  is  similar  to  that  causing 
the  cedar  apple  rust,  which  spreads  from 
the  red  cedar  to  the  apple  leaf,  and  to 
that  causing  the  wheat  rust,  which 
spreads  from  the  barberry  bush  to  the 
wheat  plant. 

The  blister  rust  was  first  found  in 
this  country  on  currants  in  1906,  but  it 
did  not  again  make  its  appearance  until 
1909.

The  Annual  Summer  Show. 

Tlie  Newport  Horticultural  Society 
and  the  Newport  Garden  Association 
held  their  joint  annual  exhibition  last 
week  at  the  Lafayette.  The  show  had 
been  postponed  from  the  dates  origin- 
ally set  because  of  the  backwardness  of 
the  season.  Although  the  opening  day, 
July  3,  was  stormy,  many  persons  were 
present  to  witness  what  many  thought 
to  be  the  best  arranged  show  the  so- 
cieties have  ever  staged.  Much  credit 
is  due  the  committee  for  the  beautiful 
arrangement. 

It  is  the  first  time  that  the  show  has 
been  held  at  the  Lafayette,  and  it 
proved  an  admirable  place  for  such  an

The  Market. 


Tlio  depressing  effect  of  summer  on 
l)usiiu'.ss  now  is  manifest,  but  there  is 
enough  activity  to  take  up  the  better 
grades  of  stock.  There  seem  to  be 
dieaj)  Toses  without  number,  and  most 
of  them  make  their  exit  via  the  ash  can 
or  street  stand.  Eussell  seems  to  stand 
head  and  shoulders  above  any  other  va- 
riety in  the  matter  of  popularity. 

The  main  item  of  the  market  at  pres- 
ent is  gladioli,  of  which  the  quality  is 
most  satisfactory.  Gypsophilas  and 
candytuft  move  well  in  funeral  work. 
Asters  put  in  an  appearance  last  week. 

Various  Notes. 

A  house  36x100  recently  completed 
by  A.  F.  Barbe  has  been  planted  to  roses 
in  prime  condition,  and  the  benching 
of  carnations  is  scheduled  for  this  week. 
Mr.  Barbe  believes  in  starting  off  the 
new  stock  as  early  as  possible. 

A.  Elberficld  is  producing  a  large 
batch  of  extra  fine  outdoor  flowers,  but, 
then,  Mr.  Elberfield  uses  5,000  gallons  of

time  of  the  year  and  there  is  little 
doing,  except  in  funeral  work,  until  the

not  only  that,  but  the  number  of  gov- 
ernment employees  is  being  greatly  in- 
creased by  the  employment  of  men  from 
other  parts  of  the  country.  Many  of 
these  are  persons  of  means  and  there  is 
much  entertaining  going  on.  None  of 
the  affairs  is  large  or"  elaborate,  but 
most  of  tliom  call  for  flowers.  The  re- 
sult is  that  the  retail  stores  are  having 
an  excellent  run  of  small  sales. 

The  sui)ply  of  stock,  wliile  adequate 
for  the  demand,  is  not  excessive.  It  is 
of  the  usual  summer  character. 

Various  Notes. 

The  Florists'  Club  of  Washington  is 
planning  to  send  a  large  representation 
to  the  S.  A.  F.  convention,  pro))ably 
^joining  the  convontionists  of  Baltimore 
in  the  trij)  to  New  York. 

The  growers  have  practically  finished 
the  planting  of  roses  and  chrysanthe- 
mums, and  the  planting  of  carnations  is 
about  to  begin.  There  has  been  some 
reduction  in  the  quantity  of  mums 
planted  hereabouts  and  probably  not  so 
many  carnations  will  be  benched  as  last 
year,  additional  space  being  given  to 
roses. 

Peoria,  111. — C.  Loveridge  is  prepar- 
ing to  remove  from  his  old  location  on 
Jefferson  street  to  a  building  on  Main 
street  purchased  by  him  in  1916,  which 
he  is  preparing  to  remodel.  He  will 
have  a  sj)ace  28x78,  with  all  tlie  fix- 
tures of  the  most  modern  type.  Wiion 
Mr.  Loveridge  gets  into  his  new  build- 
ing there  will  be  four  flower  stores  in 
one  block  on  Main  street,  but  this  is 
a  live  town  of  82,000  inhabitants  and 
all  the  florists  do  good  business.

Greenhouse  Heating. 

Subscribers  are  invited  to  write  the 
Editor  of  this  Department  with  regard  to 
any  details  of  greenhouse  heating  that 
are  not  understood.  But  please  do  not 
ask  The  Review  to  make  a  choice  of  ap- 
paratus for  you.  The  greenhouse  heating 
equipment  advertised  in  this  paper  is,  we 
believe,  the  best  for  the  trade  to  buy, 
and  each  article  the  best  in  the  special 
field  of  its  adaptation. 


HEAT  FROM  EXHAUST  STEAM. 

We  have  a  heating  problem  which 
we  wish  to  submit  and  we  shall  appre- 
ciate an  answer  from  your  expert  as 
early  as  possible.  Our  greenhouses 
adjoin  an  electric  light  plant.  The 
exhaust  steam  from  this  plant  would 
heat  our  entire  range,  which  consists 
of  four  houses,  each  26x150  and  seven 
feet  high  to  the  eaves.  The  electric 
light  company  wishes  to  meter  this 
steam  to  us.  What  rate  would  have  to 
be  paid  for  the  exhaust  steam  to  make 
it  cost  practically  the  same  as  with  our 
present  steam  heating  system? 

D.  B.  G.— S.   D. 


The  comparative  cost  of  heating 
greenhouses  with  exhaust  steam,  as  pro- 
posed, will  depend  largely,  of  course, 
upon  the  price  of  coal.  In  most  cases 
the  rates  have  a  sliding  scale,  per  thou- 
sand pounds  of  condensed  water,  of 
from  50  to  60  cents  when  coal  costs 
$2.50  per  ton  to  90  cents  when  the 
same  coal  is  $6  per  ton.  Though  this 
is  more  than  it  would  cost  to  supply 
the  coal,  considerable  allowance  can 
be  made  for  the  saving  in  firing,  remov- 
ing ashes,  etc.

A  SMALL   CARNATION  HOUSE. 

I  have  just  completed  a  small  green- 
house and  want  some  advice  about  the 
piping  and  lieating  of  it.  I  intended 
to  use  it  for  vegetables,  but  have  de- 
cided now  to  bench  it  for  carnations 
and  other  flowers  and  add  a  lettuce 
liouse  later.  The  house  is  21x31,  of 
Moninger  semi-iron  construction,  and 
runs  north  and  soutli,  with  the  boiler 
room  at  the  nortli  end.  There  is  top 
and  side  ventilation  on  the  east  side. 
The  liouso  stands  on  a  concrete  founda- 
tion and  is  twelve  feet  high  to  the 
ridge  and  six  feet  to  the  eaves,  with 
five  feet  of  glass  in  the  west  wall.  My 
plan  was  to  use  2-inch  pipe  throughout, 
installing  two  2-inch  overhead  flows 
and  ten  2-ineh  returns. 

K.  G.— Kan. 


For  a  carnation  house  21x31,  with  a 
ventilator  in  the  east  wall  and  five  feet 
of  glass  in  the  west  wall,  and  having 
1,250  to  1,400  square  feet  of  glass,  we 
would  recommend  between  300  and  350 
square  feet  of  radiation,  depending 
ui)on  the  ox])osure  and  the  actual 
amount   of  glass.

Kroesdieli  Water  Tube  Steam  Boiler 

Wouldn't  you  be  surprised  if  some  morning  you  picked  up  your 
florists'  trade  paper,  and  while  turning  the  front  cover,  you  see  a 
double  page  advertisement  announcing  that  Kroeschell  Bros.  Co.  will  from 
this  moment  on  build  and  erect  greenhouses— big  30-60-80  footers  in  width, 
even  twice  as  long  and  again  as  wide  as  any  of  the  greenhouse  companies, 
who  have  specialized  in  this  class  of  work  for  more  than  a  decade? 

Wouldn't  you  wonder  and  wonder  if  we  claimed  that  our  green- 
houses were  built  stronger  and  better,  because  of  some  fandangled 
feature  of  coDstruction,  whereby  we  made  an  old-time,  obsolete  type  of 
house  just  a  little  different  in  order  to  be  different  for  sake  of  a  talking 
point?  WELL,  YOU  NEED  NOT  WORRY,  we  are  not  going  to  do  any- 
thing of  the  kind. 

Our  business  (established  1879)  is  to  build  boilers  of  all  types, 
from  the  smallest  house  heater  to  the  largest  600  H.  P.  Water 
Tube  Steam  Boilers.  We  do  not  claim  that  we  are  wizards  at  designing 
freak  boilers.  Our  practical  experience— engineering  knowledge  and  reputa- 
tion would  not  permit  this. 

For  thirty-eight  years,  we  have  confined  our  entire  efforts  to  the 

designing  and  construction  of  high  grade  boilers,  and  during  this 
time  have  served  the  florist  trade  of  this  country  and  foreign  countries  to 
the  full  satisfaction  of  every  one  of  our  customers. 

The  famous  Kroeschell  Greenhouse  Boiler  has  made  a  wonderful 

record  for  greenhouse  heating,  because  of  its  practicability — 
high  efiiciency  and  unequaled  fuel  economy. 

Men  who  know  boilers  ^authorities  on  boiler  construction — 

admit  that  our  Hot  Water  Boiler  and  the  Kroeschell  Water  Tube 
Steam  Boiler  are  positively  the  best  hot  water  and  steam  units  ever 
designed  for  greenhouse  heating. 

The  high  efficiency  of  the  Kroeschell  is  due  to  its  immense  direct 

self-cleaning  heating  surface  (a  very  small  proportion  of  flue  sur- 
face is  used)— the  thin  vertical  waterways  — the  large  combustion  space  — 
long  fire  travel  (longer  than  any  other  boiler)— its  perfection  of  construc- 
tion—honest and  "true  blue"  rating. 

These  qualities  combined  with  the  workmanship  and  material 
are  an  inspiration  to  every  boiler  maker — it  sets  the  standard 
for  all  other  boilers. 

As  stated  before,  do  not  worry  about  our  going  into  the  green- 
house building  business — we  will  continue  as  boiler  makers,  to 
build  only  the  highest  grade  of  boilers.  We  will  strive  to  make  them 
better  all  the  time. 

WE  HAVE  NO  AGENTS-BUY  DIRECT-QET  FACTORY  TO  USER  PRICES.

The  Burnham  Tubular  Boiler 

does  away  with  brick  setting  expense 

It  reduces  chimney  costs 

Cuts  down  tube  replacing  expense 


BEAR    in    mind    that    the   cost   of    setting 
bricked-up  boilers  often  adds  half  as  much 
again  to  the  cost  of  the  boiler. 

The  Burnham  requires  no  bricking-up.  The 
only  masonry  needed  is  the  foundation  for  ihe 
ash  pit,  and  rear  support  to  rest  on. 

High  chimneys  run  into  money  fast.  The 
Burnham,  because  of  its  extra  large  flues  and 
high  perfection  of  combustion,  will  work  to  its 
full  capacity  with  a  lower  chimney  than  any 
tubular  boiler  we  know  of. 

Because  all  the  tubes  are  made  from 
only  high  grade  charcoal  iron,  they  will  out- 
last all  steel  or  ordinary  iron  tubes. 


Replacing  tubes  runs  into  money  fast. 
Replacing  in  the  winter  is  dangerous  and  par- 
ticularly expensive. 

The  Burnham  Charcoal  Iron  Tubes  last. 

As  for  the  direct  coal  economy  facts  about 
the  Burnham  Tubular,  send  for  the  circular, 
or  get  in  touch  with  any  one  of  our  nine  Sales 
Offices  that  is  nearest  to  you. 

If  you  want  to  talk  it  over  carefully  with 
us,  say  when  and  where  and  we  will  be  there. 

The  boiler  is  made  at  our  factory,  Geneva, 
N.  Y. 

Send  for  circular  fully  describing  and  illus- 
trating it.

would  not  supply  more  than  250  square 
feet  of  radiation,  unless  a  considerable 
amount  of  pii)ing  is  placed  upon  the 
end  walls.  We  would  prefer  to  use 
three  2-inch  flow  pipes,  placing  one  on 
each  plate  and  the  other  two  feet  below 
the  ridge.  Unless  the  house  is  consid- 
erably exposed,  we  would  only  use  four 
2-incli  pipes  in  each  of  the  wall  coils, 
and  four  others  distributed  under  the 
middle  bench  and  connected  with  the 
overhead  flow  pipe. 


COAL  OR  FUEL  OIL— WHICH? 

I  am  using  a  Johnston  steam  boiler, 
with  a  grate  surface  30x38  inches  and 
a  rating  of  2,275  square  feet.  Last 
winter  I  burned  sixty-four  long  tons  of 
New  River  bituminous  coal  in  heating 
two  houses,  with  an  area  of  10,000 
square  feet  of  glass,  to  a  carnation 
temperature,  in  northern  Massachusetts. 
I  should  like  to  get  a  little  information 
concerning  the  approximate  quantity  of 
fuel  oil  that  would  be  necessary  to  heat 
the  same  houses.  I  have  a  tank  with  a 
capacity  of  2,500  gallons,  which  I  can 
use  for  storage  purposes.  What  appa- 
ratus would  I  need?      J.  E.  S. — Mass. 


The  comparative  economy  in  using 
coal  and  fuel  oil  for  heating  purposes 
will  depend  largely,  of  course,  upon  the 
quality  and  cost  of  these  fuels.  As  a 
rule,  we  may  consider  that  a  good  grade 
of  coal  furnishes  14,000  heat  units  and 
there  would  perhaps  be  19,000  units  in 
fuel  oil  per  pound,  or,  in  other  words, 
the  oil  is  worth  about  one-third  more 
per  pound  than  coal.  This,  of  course, 
does  not  begin  to  equal  the  difference 
in  cost,  but  there  will  be  a  large  saving 
in  the  cost  of  firing,  removing  ashes, 
etc.,  if  oil  is  used  as  the  fuel. 

Aside  from  the  necessary  piping  and 
a  special  burner  for  the  oil,  a  steam  jet 
to  spray  the  oil  must  be  provided. 


THE  PIPING  AND  THE  STACK. 

Kindly  toll  me  how  to  arrange  the 
piping  in  my  three  greenliouses,  as  the 
present  arrangement  is  not  satisfactory. 
One  of  tlio  liouses  is  17x150;  the  other 
two  are  each  14x150.  They  are  con- 
nected, witli  no  walls  between.  The 
side  walls  are  seven  feet  high  and  con- 
tain three  feet  of  glass.  The  houses 
run  east  and  west  and  the  west  gable 
end  is  exposed.  The  boiler,  a  No.  5 
Kroeschell,  is  in  a  shed  at  the  east  end 
and  is  below  tlie  level  of  tlie  green- 
house floors.  I  wish  to  maintain  a 
temperature  of  55  to  60  degrees.  Here, 
in  nortliern  Indiana,  the  outside  tem- 
perature may  droj)  as  low  as  12  degrees 
below  zero.  I  have  a  considerable  quan- 
tity of  1-inch,  li/^-inch  and  2-inch  pipe 
which  I  should  like  to  use.  I  also  have 
a  4-inch  pipe  which  might  be  used  for 
one  flow  the  length  of  the  house. 

What  size  of  chimney  should  I  erect? 
I  intend  to  build  it  of  brick.  In  stating 
its  width,  please  give  both  inside  and 
outside  measurements.        F.  W. — Ind. 


To  heat  the  house  17x150,  which,  as 
we  understand,  has  three  feet  of  glass 
in  one  wall,  to  a  temperature  of  55  to 
60  degrees  when  the  outside  tempera- 
ture is  12  degrees  below  zero,  we  would 
place  the  4-inch  flow  on  the  outer  wall 
and  also  use  two  2i/i-inch  flows,  placing 
one  of  them  on  tlie  other  ])Iate  and  tlie 
second  under  the  ridge.  Eight  2-inch 
returns  will  be  required.  Three  should 
be  connected  with  the  4-inch  flow,  three

with  the  flow  under  the  ridge  and  two 
with  the  other  2i/>-inch  flow. 

For  the  other  houses  we  would  use 
three  214-inch  flows  and  either  seven 
2-inch  or  nine  l^/{>-inch  returns.  We 
Avould  not  use  1-inch  pipe  for  houses  150 
feet  in  length  and  would  prefer  not  to 
use  li/>-inch  pipe;  neither  would  we 
use  2-inch  pipe  for  flows  in  houses  of 
that  length. 

The  three  houses  contain  about  9,000 
square  feet  of  glass  and  for  this  area 
we  would  suggest  that  the  chimney  be 
about  twelve  inches  in  diameter  inside, 
which,  with  8-inch  walls,  will  make  it 
twenty-eight  inches   square   outside. 

A  chimney  of  the  foregoing  dimen- 
sions is  all  that  would  be  necessary  for 
the  three  liouses  described,  but  if  addi- 
tional houses  are  to  be  erected  and  the 
full  capacity  of  the  boiler  utilized,  pro- 
vision should  be  made  for  this  and  a 
chimney  sixteen  inches  wide  inside 
should  be  erected.  This  will  make  it 
tliirty-two  inches  square  outside,  unless 
it  is  more  than  thirty  feet  in  height,  in 
which  case  it  will  be  well  to  build  the 
wall  of  three  tiers  of  bricks  for  the 
first  ten  feet,  making  it  forty  inches 
square  at  the  base. 

Unless  the  chimney  is  on  the  wind- 
ward side  of  a  building  or  trees,  thirty 
feet  will  generally  answer  as  its  heiglit, 
although  its  capacity  can  be  increased 
by  adding  to  its  height.

The  Market. 


Market  conditions  during  tlie  first 
week  of  July  were  normal  for  this  time 
of  the  year.  There  is  enough  stock  to 
satisfy  the  demand,  but  the  quality 
of  most  of  it  is  mediocre.  Business  is 
fair,  with  wedding  and  funeral  work  to 
uphold  the  demand. 

Roses  are  liolding  up  well  under  the 
hot  weather.  Summer  American  Beau- 
ties are  of  good  quality,  and  of  the 
others  Russell,  Sunburst,  Shawyer  and 
Kaiserin  are  the  best  varieties.  Val- 
ley is  extremely  high-priced  and   hard

to  procure,  and  as  a  result  many  sub- 
stitutes are  used.  Callas  and  Easter 
lilies  are  not  so  plentiful  as  a  few 
weeks  ago,  but  the  supply  nevertheless 
is  adequate.  Sweet  peas  are  flooding 
the  market. 

Carnations  probably  have  suffered 
more  than  any  other  flower  from  the 
intense  heat,  and  a  few  weeks  will  see 
the  finish  for  the  season.  Snapdragons 
are  of  fair  quality  and  meet  with  a 
good  call.  Gladioli  at  present  are 
scarce  and  the  prices  are  high.  There 
are  many  outdoor  flowers,  and  all  of 
them  serve  a  good  purpose  one  way  or 
another.  Green  goods  of  all  seasonable 
kinds  are  plentiful. 

Various  Notes. 

Miss  Catherine  Vesey  has  returned 
from  a  month 's  visit  to  New  York  and 
other   eastern   points. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Henry  Freese,  of  the 
New  Haven  Floral  Co.,  have  gone  on 
a  vacation  to  Detroit. 

Some  excellent  gloxinias  are  being 
shown  at  the  Doswell  Floral  Co.  store. 
The  company  had  a  good  run  of  funeral 
work   last  week. 

A.  J.  Lanternier  &  Co.  report  a  good 
week  of  funeral  work  and  several  large 
wedding  orders  booked  in  advance. 

Frank  J.  Knecht  &  Co.  are  busily 
engaged  in  replanting  roses.  Mr. 
Knecht  is  going  to  Indianapolis  this 
week  to  attend  the  Indiana  association 
meeting. 

W.  J.  &  M.  S.  Vesey  report  the  de- 
mand normal.  W.  J.  Vesey,  Jr.,  has  re- 
turned from  a  motor  trip  to  Indian- 
apolis. 

The  marriage  of  Judge  W.  J.  Vesey  to 
Miss  Grace  Waters  took  place  Friday 
noon,  July  6.  Judge  and  Mrs.  Vesey 
left  at  once  for  Atlantic  City  and  New 
York,  and  will  spend  some  time  at 
Cumberland  Gap,  where  Judge  Vesey 
will  attend  to  business  matters.  After 
the  trip  they  will  reside  at  the  Vesey 
homestead. 

George  W.  Flick  is  spending  a  week 
at  Toledo,  O.,  the  guest  of  his  aunt. 
Miss  C.  B.  Flick.

PITTSBXmGH,  PA. 


The  Market. 

There  are  plenty  of  good  flowers  to 
take  care  of  the  demand,  wliich,  with 
the  coming  of  real  summer  wcatlier,  has 
dropped  to  almost  nothing.  Carnations 
still  are  fair  and  many  are  arriving. 
They  will  soon  be  scarce,  as  the  grow- 
ers already  are  planting.  Asters  as  yet 
are  not  plentiful,  but  soon  will  be  com- 
ing in  quantities.  Lilies  are  good,  but 
Beauties  are  showing  the  effects  of  the 
hot  weather.  The  local  supply  of  sweet 
peas  is  gone,  but  some  good  ones  are  be- 
ing shipped  in.

The  Club  Meeting. 

The  placidity  of  last  week's  meeting 
of  the  Pittsburgh  Florists'  and  Gar- 
deners' Club  was  broken  by  a  tilt  be- 
tween two  of  the  members  as  to  the 
skill  of  Pittsburgh 's  gardeners  com- 
pared with  the  skill  of  gardeners  of 
other  cities.  During  the  verbal  battle 
one  fact  of  force  was  brought  out: 
"The  average  man  goes  abroad  to  see 
hurriedly,  excitedly  and  expensively 
things  which  are  right  under  his  nose." 

So,  to  live  up  to  the  idea  quoted,  and 
to  settle  the  dispute,  the  members  de- 
cided to  visit  the  several  gardens,  pub- 
lic and  private,  in  tlie  residential  east 
end  district,  within  the  next  few  days; 
a  committee  was  delegated  to  plan  the 
route,  transportation  and  commissary 
of  the  expedition,  whicli  is  sure  to  be 
both  enjoyable  and  instructive.  Invi-  j 
tation  cards  will  be  sent  to  all  inter- 
ested. 

On  the  exhibition  tables  were  some 
good  Spencer  sweet  peas  from  Sewick- 
ley  Heights  and  a  sj)lendid  collection 
of  herbaceous  perennials  and  lilies  from 
Dixmont.  A  vote  of  tlianks  was  ex- 
tended tlie  exhibitors,  Carl  Becherer 
and  William  Thompson.

I  Made  to  give  paint    satisfaction    under   the   difficult   conditions 
I  encountered  at  greenhouses — 

;   Made  to  withstan<l  the  constant  dampness  from  the  inside,  and  the 
I  beating  sun  from  without — 

I  Made  to  diffuse  and  re-use  precious  sunlight,  so  necessary  and 
valuable — 

Made  pure  white  and  to  stay  white — 

That  is  Greenhouse  White.

The  Florists^  Review 


July  12,  1917. 


INDIANAPOLIS,   IND. 


The  Market. 


Lilies  and  gladioli  have  been  the 
leading  sellers  in  the  market,  the  de- 
mand for  tlieso  liaving  been  uncom- 
monly heavy.  An  enormous  quantity 
of  lilies  has  been  moved,  thanks  to  the 
demand  occasioned  by  a  good  run  of 
funeral  work.  Roses  have  been  plenti- 
ful and  ])opular  at  $2  to  $6  per  hundred. 
A  few  carnations  are  still  making  their 
way  to  tlie  market,  but  they  are  of 
such  ijiferior  quality  that  they  are 
given  little  consideration. 

Snapdragons  are  in  adequate  supply 
and  used  extensively.  They  bring  $1 
and  $2  per  hundred.  Outdoor  hydran- 
geas, phloxes,  feverfew  and  dahlias  are 
newcomers.  Gypsophila  has  had  an 
exceptionally  good   demand. 

The  few  potted  plants  available 
have  met  with  a  ready  sale.  Ferns,  be- 
gonias and  gloxinias  are  the  most 
important  of  these. 

Various  Notes. 

Judge  Conner,  of  Wabash,  visited  the 
trade  last  week. 

Hartje  &  Elder  produced  a  fine  lot 
of  sweet  pea  seeds  this  year. 

The  Bertermann  Bros.  Co.  and  the 
Circle  Flower  Store  had  most  attrac- 
tive patriotic  windows  July  4. 

Eldon  Weygandt  has  been  cutting 
gladioli    of   exceptional    quality. 

Mrs.  Herbert  Weiss  underwent  an 
operation  last  week  for  appendicitis. 

Allan  Humason,  of  Chicago,  visited 
the  trade  this  week.  A.  T.  Hey,  of  the 
A.  L.  Randall  Co.,  Chicago,  also  was 
here  last  week,  as  well  as  Mr.  Young, 
of  the  Young  Tool  Co.,  Casey,  111. 

Henry  W.  Rieman  has  sold  his  estab- 
lishment to  his  two  sons,  Frank  and 
Harry,  and  retired    from   the  business. 

H.  G.  Evans,  of  the  Gasser  Co., 
Cleveland,  has  been  visiting  friends  in 
the    city. 

William  Webber,  gardener  for  the 
Central  Hospital  for  the  Insane,  died 
July  2,  at  the  age  of  56  years.  He  at 
one  time  was  in  the  employ  of  the 
Bertermann  Bros.  Co.  for  six  years,  but 
during  the  last  twenty  years  he  was 
florist  at  the  hospital.  Mr.  Webber  is 
survived  by  his  wife  and  one  son.

AN  UP-TO-DATE  GREENHOUSE 

must     be     lasting,     secure,     efficient,     properly     ventilated 

It  must  be  constructed  in  accordance  with  the  rules  which  have 
been  approved  by  knowledge  and  experience.  We  have  been  in  the 
greenhouse  manufacturing  business  for  a  good  many  years  and  our  ex- 
perience is  at  your  disposal.  Whether  you  intend  to  build  your  first 
house  or  plan  an  addition,  we  believe  that  our  suggestions  will  be  of 
interest  to  you.  Our  material  is  strictly  first-class  both  in  grade  and 
workmanship.  Our  new  "Leak-Proof"  Gutter  is  bound  to  give  you 
satisfaction.  Our  prices  are  reasonable.  We  use  only  the  best  grade 
of  Louisiana  Red  Cypress.

We  have  been  in  the  greenhouse 
building  business  for  almost  half 
a  century,  and  have  encountered 
and  overcome  almost  every 
known  difficulty  attendant  to 
greenhouse  erection,  heating 
and  ventilation. 

Our  organization  is  keyed  right 
up  to  the  acme  of  efficiency  and 
renders  a  service  which  is  far 
above  the  average,  when  speed, 
economy  and  practicability  are 
sought.

The  best  tub  ever  introduced.  The 
neatest,  lightest  and  cheapest. 
Painted  green, with  electric-welded 
hoops.  The  four  largest  sizes  have

$  BIG  MONEY  $ 
IN  GREENHOUSE  CROPS 

Profits  in  the  greenhouse  business  are  larger 
than  ever.  What  does  it  matter  if  the  original 
investment  is  a  trifle  greater  ?  It's  the  per- 
centage of  profit  that  counts  after  all. 

Before  the  advance,  we  contracted  for  a  big 
^Hj^y  of  Louisiana  Red  Cypress  lumber.  We 
a1^  therefore  still  in  a  position  to  make  you 
exceedingly  attractive  prices  on  strictly  guar- 
anteed greenhouse  work.  Write  immediately

FLOWERS   TO   FOLLOW   MUMS. 

Will  you  suggest  some  plants  or 
flowers  for  cutting  which  we  can  sow 
now  and  have  in  bloom  before  Qf  at 
Christmas  time?  We  want  something 
which  can  be  brought  in  about  the  time 
the  early  mums  are  gone,  about  No- 
vember 5.  We  have  coldframes  and  hot- 
bods  in  which  we  can  keep  them  up  to 
that  time.  K.  F.  C— O. 


There  is  too  little  time  between  the 
first  week  of  November  and  Christmas 
to  plant  out  and  get  any  crop  in  flower. 
The  sunlight  is  steadily  diminishing 
during  that  time  and  plants  would  not 
make  much  growth  in  the  period  be- 
tween the  clearing  out  of  one  crop  and 
the  time  the  flowers  are  wanted. 

Seeds  of  snapdragons  can  be  sown 
now.  The  intermediate  strain  is  the 
best.  These  can  be  grown  in  pots  and 
would  give  some  flowers  when  wanted. 
Calendulas,  if  sown  early  in  Septem- 
ber and  benched  as  soon  as  space  is 
available,  would  also  give  some  flowers. 
Such  stocks  as  Beauty  of  Nice  and 
White  Column  should  be  sown  now,  kept 
in  pots  and  benched  in  early  October. 
Bachelor's  buttons,  if  sown  now, 
planted  outdoors  in  nursery  rows  and 
lifted  and  benched  to  follow  the  earli- 
est mums,  would  give  some  flowers. 
Sweet  peas  would  need  to  be  sown  early 
in  September  and  planted  out  early  in 
October  to  give  Christmas  flowers,  using 
the  grandifloras,  like  Cliristmas  Pink, 
for  the  earliest  blooms.  Mignonette 
should  be  sown  in  July  to  give  satis- 
factory Christmas  spikes. 

You  would  do  better  with  any  of  the 
plants  named  by  growing  and  flowering 
them  in  pots  rather  than  benching  them 
with  the  idea  of  getting  a  Christmas 
crop.  Few  annuals  can  be  made  to 
bloom  satisfactorily  during  the  short 
winter  days,  C.  W.

There  is  no  substitute  for  Advance

Let  us  explain  WHY  you  siiould  equip 
your  greeniiouse  with  our  materials. 
Our  Sash  Operating  Device  is  abso- 
lutely safe  at  all  times,  for  it  is  a  self- 
locking  mechanism  and  absolutely 
correct  in  every  detail.  It  is  made  of 
the  best  materials  and  will  last  for- 
ever. Besides  these  features,  it  is 
easy  to  operate  and  very  easy  to 
install. 

Our  Greenhouse  Fittings  are  all 
cleverly  designed  and  are  exception- 
ally neat  and  strong.  You  should  use 
them  for  the  best  results. 

Our  catalogue  thoroughly  illustrates 
and  describes  our  entire  line  of  ma- 
terials and  we  suggest  that  you  write 
us  for  one  of  these  catalogues  today. 
It  will  be  mailed  to  you  promptly,  and 
upon  arrival  look  it  over  carefully, 
noting  especially  the  finer  points  in 
design  and  construction. 

Remember  that  we  do  business  on  the  single  price 
basis  to  each  and  every  customer.  This  method  assures 
you  of  a  fair  and  square  transaction,  and  we  guarantee 
dollar  for  dollar  values.  Our  co-operation  with  our  cus- 
tomers is  of  value  and  we  suggest  that  you  write  us 
today,  explaining  your  troubles  and  ideas  on  perma- 
nently fixing  the  difficulties.  Remember  just  a  card

THE  MOST  FAMOUS 

WOMAN  FLORIST 

Probably  no  one  is  better  known  in  the  trade  in  Boston  and  New  England 
than  Mrs.  Gill,  of  Medford,  Massachusetts'  most  famous  woman  florist.     For 
more  than  fifty  years  she  grew  flowers.    Now,  at  87  years  of  ag^,  she  is  confined ; 
to  her  home,  but  is  none  the  less  interested  in  the  florists'  business. 


m 


inps^pHi 


HAT  the  greatest  measure 
of  success  comes  to  him 
who  is  in  love  with  his 
work  is  exemplified  in  the 
career  of  Mrs.  Ellen  M. 
Gill,  of  Medford,  Mass. 
For  more  than  forty-five 
years  Mrs.  Gill  grew 
flowers  for  the  Medford 
and  Boston  markets.  Now, 
although  confined  to  her  room  by  the 
infirmities  of  age — she  was  87  years  old 
June  28^Mrs.  Gill  still  is  intensely 
interested  in  the  florists'  profession  and 
confidently  expects  that  she  will  recover 
her  strength  sufficiently  to  again  visit 
Horticultural  hall,  Boston,  where  she 
■w'.is  a  regular  exhibitor  for  half  a  cen- 
tury. 

Probably  no  one  interested  in  the 
growing  of  flowers  and 
plants  and  in  the  socie- 
ties that  are  promoting 
the  production  of  good 
stock,  is  better  known 
in  Boston  and  New 
England  than  Mrs. 
Gill.  Beginning  as  an 
amateur  in  1860,  her 
success  with  flowers 
■was  so  great  that  she 
gradually  enlarged  her 
activities  until  1870, 
wlien  she  built  the  first 
of  lier  four  greenhouses 
at  Medford  and  began

A  Native  Bostonian.        ' 

Mrs.  Gill  was  born  in  Boston  June  28, 
1830,  a  member  of  the  Bowditch  family, 
which  traced  its  ancestry  from  John  Al- 
den  and  Richard  Warren  of  the  May- 
flower time.  In  1849,  when  she  was  19 
years  old,  she  married  George  Gill. 
They  began  their  married  life  at  Mel- 
rose and  moved  to  Medford  in  1854.  It 
was  there  that  her  natural  ability  to 
grow  flowers  first  had  an  opportunity  to 
express  itself  and  when,  in  1860,  she 
and  her  husband  purchased  what  is  now 
the  family  home  and  greenhouse  range 
at  28  Ashland  street,  that  opportunity

became '  greatei* '  and  she  improved  it. 
In  a  short  time  the  half-acre  of 
ground  about '.this  home  became  noted 
for  its  flower  gardens.  Year  after  year 
Mrs.  Gill  gained  .greater  fame  as  a 
grower  Snd  jn  l865,  she  was  admitted  to 
membership  in  the  Massachusetts  Horti- 
cultutal  Society  and  sent  some  of  the 
products  of  her  garden  to  the  society's 
exhibitions. 

It  was  to  enable  her  to  grow  higher 
class  stock  th^t,  in  1870,  Mrs.  Gill  built 
the  first  of  the  four  greenhouses  upon 
vher  ptace.  That,  too,  was  tlie  beginning 
"of  her  long  career  as  a  commercial 
grower. 

After  experimenting  with  what  was 
at  that  time  expensive  stock,  Mrs.  Gill 
/discovered  that  commercial  success  lay 
in  specialization  in  stock  that  was  in 
demand.  She  threw 
out  her  mixed  stock 
of  stephanotis,  alla- 
manda,  lapageria  and 
other  plants  of  a  like 
character  and  began  to 
grow  roses,  carnations 
and  callas.  Violets, 
too,  Mrs.  Gill  dis- 
covered,  could  be 
grown  at  a  profit,  al- 
though few  florists 
grew  them  at  that 
time.

the  florist  who  was  exhibiting  it  as  a 
part  of  his  window  display. 

As  business  grew  Mrs.  Gill  enlarged 
her  greenhouse  establishment  until  she 
had  four  houses,  none  of  which  was  so 
large  as  is  now  commonly  built.  Besides 
the  calls  for  stock  for  Boston  trade, 
the  people  of  Medford  began  to  depend 
upon  Mrs.  Gill  for  their  flower  wants. 
She  had  a  natural  instinct  for  flower  ar- 
rangement and  for  many  years  made  up 
funeral  designs,  wedding  bouquets  and 
decorations  and  baskets  for  other  oc- 
casions. 

Freesias  proved  to  be  one  of  Mrs. 
Gill's  most  profitable  crops.  Before  this 
stock  was  generally  known  to  the  Bos- 
ton market,  a  friend  gave  Mrs.  Gill 
some  of  the  bulbs.  She  was  successful 
as  a  grower  of  freesias  and  sold  the 
first  blooms  in  Boston.  She  also  did  a 
considerable  business  in  the  bulbs. 

Enjoyed  Her  Garden. 

Marechal  Niel  was  the  first  hybrid 
rose  Mrs.  Gill  grc^y  indoors,  but  other 
varieties  later  were  added.  But  it  was 
her  outdoor  stock,  which  might  be 
termed  her  first  loves,  that  Mrs.  Gill 
usually  spoke  of  with  the  greatest  inter- 
est.   In  describing  her  place  she  said: 

"My  garden  has  given  great  pleas- 
ure to  me  and  others  also,  being,  as  you 
might  say,  an  old-fashioned  one,  planted 
in  no  formal  style — just  a  profusion  of 
bloom,  a  mingling  of  color. 

"I  have  many  peonies,  some  of  the 
famous  Richardson  seedlings,  300  or 
more  hybrid  rose  bushes,  phloxes,  del- 
phiniums, irises,  poppies,  lilies  of  the 
valley  and  such  annuals  as  asters,  sal- 
vias, mignonette,  cosmos,  salpiglossis, 
centaureas  and  a  collection  of  holly- 
hocks and  dahlias,  besides.  I  would  ad- 
vise anyone  who  has  a  garden  to  culti- 
vate the  yellow  Scotch  rose.  The  one 
in  my  garden  was  on  the  place  when  I 
went  there  fifty-five  years  ago. ' ' 

Besides  cut  flowers,  Mrs.  Gill  grew 
pot  plants  for  the  spring  trade.  Much 
of  her  stock  was  sold  in  Medford,  but 
considerable  found  its  way  into  the 
Boston  market.  For  many  years  the 
men  emploj'ed  by  Mrs.  Gill  would  make 


two  or  three  trips  a  week  to  Boston 
with  a  wagon-load  of  plants,  which 
were  sold  in  the  market  near  Faneuil 
hall.  Cut  flowers  Mrs.  Gill  usually 
handled  personally  and  during  several 
years  she  was  a  well  known  figure  at  her 
stall  in  the  Boston  market,  besides  sup- 
plying several  retail  stores. 

Greenhouses  Invaded  by  Deer. 

Growers  who  have  lost  glass  by  either 
hail  or  wind  will  appreciate  an  odd 
experience  of  Mrs.  Gill's  many  years 
ago.  A  wild  doe  ran  through  two  of 
her  greenhouses,  doing  considerable 
damage  to  a  bed  of  violets  and  breaking 
so  much  glass  that  the  $50  paid  her  by 
the  Great  and  General  Court  of  Massa- 
chusetts came  far  from  recompensing 
her  for  the  damage  done. 

Of    the    florists'    business,    Mrs.    Gill 


said:  "The  pleasure  of  raising  flowers 
is  not  alone  for  one's  self.  No  moie 
acceptable  gift  for  the  sick,  the  sorrow- 
ing or  the  poor  can  be  sent  than  a  bunc  u 
of  posies." 

So  long  as  she  was  able  to  attend  to  it 
herself,  Mrs.  Gill  twice  each  week  coii- 
tributed  flowers  to  the  Flower  Missicu 
of  Boston,  which  distributed  then 
among  the  hospitals  and  unfortunati  ^ 
in  that  city.  Her  daughter  continue  s 
the  work. 

Mrs.  Gill  was  active  in  the  busine  . 
until  fourteen  months  ago,  when  h<  :• 
health  forced  her  to  give  up  the  wor!  . 
Since  that  time  she  has  been  under  th  > 
care  of  a  nurse  and  has  passed  the  care  ; 
of  her  business  to  others.  She  sti  ' 
enjoys  flowers  in  her  room  and  h;. 
gracefully  yielded  to  the  idea  that  sh 
is  old  and  must  be  taken  care  of.

QUINN'S    BIG    WEDDING     OBDEB. 

One  of  the  largest  wedding  decora- 
tion orders  of  the  season  in  the  neigh- 
borhood of  Boston  was  filled  during  the 
first  week  of  July  by  Stephen  J.  Quinn, 
of  Chestnut  street,  Brookline,  for  the 
wedding  of  Miss  Martha  E.  Rueter  and 
John  G.  Hepburne,  at  the  First  Uni- 
tarian church. 

The  church,  which  is  massive  in 
architecture  and  was  built  in  revolu- 
tionary times,  was  completely  trans- 
formed into  a  bower  of  flowers  and 
foliage.  The  chandeliers  were  covered 
with  flowers  and  foliage  arranged  in 
ball  shapes.  The  walls,  aisles  and 
chancel  were  decorated  with  peonies, 
hydrangeas,      rhododendrons,      spirseas. 


palms,  bay  trees  and  laurel  roping. 
The  rear  of  the  church,  as  is  shown  by 
the  illustration  on  page  11,  received 
the  same  treatment.  More  than  1,000 
peonies  and  1,000  yards  of  laurel  rop- 
ing were  used. 

The  floral  decoration  at  the  bride's 
home  in  Jamaica  Plain  was  even  more 
elaborate.  There  the  flowers  used 
were  roses  with  asparagus  and  Lygo- 
dium  scandens.  A  large  tent  on  the 
lawn  was  festooned  with  laurel,  while 
tastefully  arranged  on  the  grass  were 
bay  trees,  laurels  and  aucubas,  making 
a  veritable  forest. 

Mr.  Quinn 's  artistic  work  received 
much  commendation  from  both  his  cus- 
tomers and  their  guests.

LICENSES  FOE  FLORISTS. 

I  would  like  to  ask  through  the  col- 
umns of  The  Review  whether  any  of 
the  florists  of  the  state  of  Missouri  are 
paying  a  license  fee  for  the  privilege 
of  doing  business  in  their  respective 
cities;  also,  what  such  license  is.  I 
always  was  under  the  impression  that 
florists  who  grow  their  own  stock  in  thi? 
state  could  not  be  made  to  pay  a  city 
license.  I  would  like  to  know  more 
about  this  license  business  before  I  pay 
the  city  license  demanded  from  thf 
florists  here.  What  do  the  florists  who 
buy  and  sell  flowers,  who  operate  cut 
flower  stores  in  the  cities  in  this  state, 
have  to  pay  in  the  wav  of  a  citv  li- 
cense? C.  H.  G.— Mo. 


Mrs.  Ellen  M.  Gill,  of  Medford,  Mass.,  First  and  Oldest  Woman  Florist. 


A  city's  authority  to  impose  license 
restriction  is  given  by  its  charter, 
but  in  a  general  way  it  may  be  said 
a  city  may  institute  any  reasonable 
restrictions  and  fees  upon  the  favorable 
vote  of  a  designated  percentage  of  the 
city  council.  There  are  certain  lines  of 
business  which  long  have  been  recog- 
nized as  subject  to  special  regulation  l»y 
license,  but  the  florists'  business  is  not 
among  them  and  it  is  not  customary,  in 
Missouri  or  in  any  other  state,  to  re- 
quire florists  to  procure  a  special  license

cities  have  "assessed  a  tax  in  the  form 
of  a  license  fee  on  the  businesses  of  the 
community;  it  applies  to  the  hardware 
merchant,  the  clothier  and  the  depart- 
ment store  as  well  as  the  florist  and  the 
latter  has  no  special  complaint  unless 
the  fees  are  inequitable. 

There  is  another  kind  of  license,  how- 
ever, usually  imposed  at  the  request  and 
in  behalf  of  the  merchants  who  pay 
taxes  year  after  year — it  is  to  keep  out 
the  peddlers  and  itinerant  merchants 
who  are  here  today  and  gone  tomorrow. 
Such  licenses  bear  upon  the  florist  in 
accordance  with  the  character  of  the 
business  he  does;  if  he  has  a  permanent 
retail  store  he  is  almost  certain  to  ap- 
prove of  them,  but  if  his  place  is  out- 
side the  corporate  limits  and  he  is 
classed  among  the  peddlers  he  is  apt  to 
look  upon  such  restrictions  as  interfer- 
ing with  the  rights  of  a  freeborn  Ameri- 
can citizen.

WINTER  FLOWERS  FROM  SEED. 

I  would  like  to  know  what  to  sow  in 
my  benches  so  as  to  have  blooms  dur- 
ing January  and  February.  When 
should  the  seed  be  planted?  I  was 
thinking  of  stocks,  snapdragons  and 
mignonette,  but  perhaps  you  can  sug- 
gest   something    better. 

C.  F.  R.— Ore. 


Mignonette  started  now  will  begin 
to  flower  late  in  October.  Snapdragons 
will  give  their  first  crop  about  Christ- 
mas. Sow  seeds  of  the  intermediate  va- 
rieties. They  will  bloom  until  the  fol- 
lowing summer,  as  will  the  mignonette. 
Calendulas  sown  about  September  1  will 


prove  to  be  a  good  crop.  Such  stocks  as 
White  and  Pink  Column  and  other  forc- 
ing varieties  sown  next  month  would 
also  come  in  at  the  time  mentioned. 
Sweet  peas,  if  you  have  head  room  for 
them,  are  fine  winter  bloomers.  Use 
the  winter-blooming  Spencers.  The  hy- 
brid dimorphothecas  may  be  started  in 
early  October  for  flowering  about  Feb- 
ruary 1.  Annual  larkspurs  sown  in  Au- 
gust will  also  start  to  bloom  at  the  same 
time.  Most  of  these  plants  like  a  tem- 
perature of  50  degrees  at  night,  but 
mignonette  prefers  cooler  treatment,  so 
give  it  the  coolest  part  of  the  house.

12  there  is  an  article  with  regard  to  the 
president  of  the  S.  A.  F.  having  ap- 
pointed a  committee  to  investigate  wind 
storm  insurance  and  report  on  it  at  the 
New  York  convention.  To  make  mat- 
ters clear  I  would  like  to  state  a  few 
facts  concerning  the  movement  started 
in  Indiana,  as  I  am  certain  the  trade  will 
be  interested  in  knowing  how  far  the 
details  have  been  worked  out. 

First  of  all,  we  want  the  readers  of 
The  Review  to  get  fixed  firmly  in  their 
minds  that  the  movement  begun  here  in 
Indiana  is  a  real  live  issue.  It  has  as- 
sumed concrete  form  and  there  is  no 
longer  any  doubt  as  to  its  final  success. 
The  State  Florists'  Association  of  In- 
diana has  assumed  the  responsibility 
and  is  backing  it  with  its  money  and 
influence,  acting  as  trustee  until  we  have 
perfected  the  new  organization. 

Good  Lawyers  On  It. 

One  of  the  most  expert  firms  of  in- 
surance lawyers  in  this  section,  Pick- 
ens, Moores,  Davidson  &  Pickens,  In- 
dianapolis, has  been  engaged  to  draw  up 
the  constitution  and  by-laws  along  with 
the  policies  and  other  documents.  In 
fact,  most  of  this  work  has  been  done 
and  we  shall  be  ready  to  solicit  insur- 
ance in  a  few  days. 

A  considerable  sum  of  money  has  al- 
ready been  spent  and  we  are  assured  of 
ample  funds  to  carry  the  project  to  com- 
pletion. We  are  incorporating  under 
the  laws  of  Indiana  and  we  propose  to 
comply  fully  with  the  laws  of  this  state, 
which  in  itself  will  be  a  guarantee  to 
prospective  policy-holders  of  the  sound- 
ness of  the  insurance  they  will  be  asked 
to  buy. 

A  National  Project. 

Secondly,  this  is  going  to  be  a  move- 
ment of  national  scope.  While  we  are 
incorporating  under  the  laws  of  Indiana 
and  the  headquarters  therefore  natu- 
rally will  be  in  this  state,  we  propose  to 
write  insurance  in  every  state  in  the 
Union;  in  fact,  we  have  already  been 
promised  business  from  growers  in  al- 
most every  section  just  as  soon  as  we 
are  in  a  position  to  write  it. 

Furthermore,  profiting  by  the  expe- 
rience of  other  similar  organizations,  we 
will  write  our  insurance  at  such  rates  as 
will  obviate  any  feeling  that  one  sec- 
tion is  carrying  the  insurance  of  an- 
other section. 

The  organization  will  be  mutual  and 
we  propose  to  write  insurance  at  cost, 
as  near  as  it  is  possible  to  do  it. 

Hail  Insurance,  Too. 

Nearly  all  of  those  interested  in  this 
movement  have  carried  hail  insurance 
on  their  glass  for  many  years.  Some 
of  them  have  taken  out  wind  storm 
insurance  in  recent  years  in  companies 
■which  do  not  confine  their  business  to 
greenhouse  structures.  This  latter  fea- 
ture has  never  been  to  the  liking  of  the 
craft  in  general  and  there  has  developed 
a  strong  feeling  that  both  hail  and  wind 
storm  insurance  should  be  supplied  by 


an  organization  controlled  and  operated 
within  the  trade.  This  was  brought  to 
a  head  this  spring  when  several  large 
establishments  were  badly  wrecked  by 
a  series  of  storms  and  it  seemed  imper- 
ative that  something  should  be  done 
in  an  organized  way  to  assist  those  who 
suffered  loss  in  these  storms. 

Give  Credit  for  Starting  Something. 

It  has  never  been  our  idea  that  a  sep- 
arate organization  should  be  started  to 
carry  wind  storm  risks,  but  rather  that 
one  company  should  carry  both  hail  and 
wind  storm  risks,  so  that  there  would 
never  need  be  any  contention  over  the 
question  of  what  portion  of  the  loss 
should  be  charged  against  each  of  these 
elements.  To  that  end  the  State 
Florists'  Association  of  Indiana  sent  a 
request  to  the  Florists'  Hail  Association 
of  America  asking  it  to  add  the  wind 
storm  feature  to  the  hail  insurance  it 
is  writing,  stating  plainly  that  unless  a 
way  could  be  found  to  do  this,  we  pro- 
posed to  organize  for  the  purpose  of 
writing  insurance  which  will  embrace 
both  of  these  elements.  Our  request  did 
not  meet  with  a  favorable  response,  and 
so  we  are  proceeding  to  organize  for  the 
purpose  of  supplying  what  is  wanted. 
That  there  is  plenty  of  business  waiting 
for  us  is  evidenced  on  all  sides. 


As  stated  above,  we  are  organizin<f 
under  the  laws  of  Indiana  and  the  Statu 
Florists'  Association  will  act  as  trustee 
until  we  get  going,  but  we  propose  tu 
make  it  a  representative  national  S(  - 
ciety,  with  a  directorate  scattered  over 
a  wide  territory, and  the  only  connectio,. 
Indiana  will  have  with  the  organizatio  , 
will  be  the  fact  that  the  headqua'rtei 
will  be  here  and  the  Indiana  society  wi  . 
always  be  credited  with  having  take 
the  initiative  in  a  movement  which  wi;. 
be  a  boon  to  the  trade  at  large. 

We  shall  be  grateful  for  any  assist 
ance  in  the  way  of  endorsement  off  ere 
by  local,  state  or  national  organization 
after  a  full  investigation  of  the  insur 
ance  we  will  have  to  offer.  The  organ 
ization  will  be  known  as  the  Florists 
Mutual  Casualty  Association,  Incorpo 
rated. 

Will  Start  vrith  MiUion  Feet. 

The  laws  of  Indiana  require  us  to  se 
cure  not  less  than  $500,000  worth  or' 
risks,  which  means  over  a  million  feet  of 
glass.  We  are  allowing  ourselves  two 
months  to  reach  these  figures,  after 
which  the  State  Florists'  Association 
of  Indiana,  as  trustee,  will  turn  the 
business  over  to  the  new  organization, 
which  will  have  been  perfected. 

We  feel  that  we  are  entitled  to 
kindly  consideration  at  the  hands  of  the 
trade,  because  we  have  gone  ahead,  put- 
ting in  our  best  efforts  and  our  money. 

So  far  no  one  has  pointed  out  any  in- 
dication that  this  project  will  not  meet 
every  need  along  the  line  of  hail  and 
wind  storm  insurance.

Mignonette. 


Mignonette  can  be  sown  now  if  early 
flowers  in  fall  are  wanted,  but,  as  a  mat- 
ter of  fact,  the  spikes  will  not  come  of 
first-class  quality  until  the  coldest  part 
of  the  winter,  when  they  also  sell  the 
best.  Mignonette  must  have  cool  cul- 
ture at  all  times  if  really  fine  spikes  are 
wanted.  It  will  grow  well  in  either 
raised  benches  or  solid  beds.  Care 
should  be  taken  not  to  attempt  its  cul- 
ture where  heating  pipes  run  below  the 
benches,  as  mignonette  loves  a  cool, 
moist  soil.  For  compost  a  good  chrys- 
anthemum or  rose  soil  will  answer  well, 
and  I  find  it  succeeds  well  in  six  inches 
of  soil.  It  is  an  advantage  to  place  the 
soil  in  the  bench  a  week  or  two  before 
time  for  sowing  the  seeds  and  give  it 
one  or  two  scratchings  over  to  kill  the 
weeds. 

Buy  seed  of  one  of  the  special  forcing 
strains  offered  by  several  prominent 
seedsmen.  If  the  benches  are  occupied 
by  other  crops,  start  the  seeds  in  small 
pots,  later  planting  them  out  a  foot 
apart  each  way.  The  same  space  may  be 
allowed  where  the  seeds  are  sown 
directly  in  the  benches.  The  number  of 
seedlings  in  each  space  should  be  re- 
duced to  three.  These  will  need  close 
watching,  as  green  caterpillars,  or  cab- 
bage worms,  are  fond  of  them  and  will 


soon  clean  up  a  batch  of  plants.  In 
winter  give  mignonette  a  minimum  of 
42  to  45  degrees  and  it  will  come  stocky. 

Fansies. 

It  is  somewhat  early  to  sow  the  main 
batch  of  pansies  to  be  wintered  outdoors, 
but  where  they  are  to  be  grown  under 
glass  the  seed  can  go  in  at  once.  Pro- 
cure the  best  possible  strain;  one  which 
gives  long  stems,  in  addition  to  large 
and  attractive  flowers,  is  what  is  needed. 
It  will  be  noticed  that  in  a  large  batch 
of  pansies  certain  plants  carry  much 
longer  stems  than  others.  These  should, 
if  possible,  be  lifted  and  isolated  and 
seed  taken  from  them.  Mixed  bunches 
sell  fairly  well,  but  those  of  one  de- 
cided color  go  much  better.  Sow  the 
pansy  seed  at  this  early  date  in  a  cold- 
frame  where  it  can  he  watered  and 
shaded;  the  germination  will  then  be 
speedier  and  more  certain  than  when  the 
sowing  is  done  outdoors.  For  the  aver- 
age grower  Giant  Trimardeau  answers 
well.  This  may  be  had  in  several 
colors.  A  number  of  American  special- 
ists have  been  working  on  pansies  for 
some  time  and  now  have  strains  equal 
in  quality  to  the  best  European  ones. 

Late  Asters. 

Late  asters  should  go  out  in  the  field

-    soon  as  the  weather  will  permit.     A 

,,1    moist   day   is  ideal   for   planting. 

'   hen   the   planting   is   completed,    stir 

,.  ground  well  between  the  rows  with 

;    cultivator.      The    more    frequently 

;•  stirring  up  is  done,  the  better  your 

ers  will  withstand  drought  and  the 

re  vigorously  they  will  grow.    If  you 

\  e    an   empty   bench,    you   might    do 

se  than  to  plant  it  with  late  asters 

:   American   Branching.      Asters   un- 

glass  are   becoming  quite   common 

1,  if  last  year  is  to  be  any  criterion, 

ees  will  average  good  for  the  season. 

Hardy  Roses. 

lo  not  neglect  the  hardy  roses  in  the 
Id  or  garden  as  soon  as  their  heavy 
'  ■  .p  of  flowers  is  passing.  If  you  want 
i  ('  yield  of  flowers  to  be  continuous  and 
(  good  quality,  your  roses  should  be  fed 
I  ,(ini  time  to  time  through  the  season.  If 
'.  a  have  no  cow  manure,  use  top-dress- 
in  <xs  of  dried  blood,  tankage  or  sheep 
Tnanure  and  scratch  over  the  surface 
]..>fore  a  rain  comes  along.  Liquid  cow 
inanure,  applied  directly  after  a  heavy 
rain,  will  prove  wonderfully  stimulating. 
<:iit  away  the  faded  roses  and  the  seeds, 
and  do  not  overlook  the  Manetti,  brier 
or  other  stocks  starting  from  the  base  of 
many  plants.  As  soon  as  ramblers  have 
finished  blooming  they  should  be  pruned. 
Cut  away  the  old  flowering  canes  en- 
tirely and  let  the  strength  go  into  the 
young  canes  that  are  coming  up.  Hybrid 
tea  roses  outdoors  become  more  popular 
each  year.  It  is  well  to  remember,  how- 
ever, that  some  of  the  hybrid  perpetuals 
are  persistent  summer  bloomers — such 
sorts,  for  instance,  as  Mrs.  John  Laing, 
General  Jacqueminot,  Mrs.  Sharman- 
Crawford  and  Mme.  Gabriel  Luizet. 

Freesias. 

New  freesia  bulbs  now  are  procurable 
and  a  batch  should  be  potted  or  placed 
in  pans  at  once  if  a  Christmas  crop  is 
wanted.  Purity  is  the  freesia  par  ex- 
cellence and  will  come  in  ahead  of  re- 
fracta  alba.  I  find  that  by  growing  it 
in  deep  pans  eight  or  ten  inches  in  diam- 
eter and  planting  the  bulbs  fairly  thick 
the  plants  will  produce  stems  twenty- 
four  to  thirty  inches  long  and  be  seen  at 
their  best.  After  potting  the  freesias, 
stand  them  in  a  coldframe  and  cover 
the  pots  with  leaves  or  dry  moss.  Cover 
Avith  board  shutters,  to  keep  the  plants 
dark  and  prevent  drying  out.  When 
fjrowth  commences,  give  the  plants  full 
light.  Give  freesias  a  light,  rather  rich 
soil,  with  a  good  dash  of  sand  added,  but 
Jo  not  use  any  chemical  fertilizers  in  the 
soil. 

Winter  Begonias. 

This  is  the  time  of  more  rapid  growth 
with  all  the  winter-flowering  begonias. 
1^0  not  shade  them  too  heavily.  Pick 
'ff  the  flowers  as  they  appear  and  give 
'he  plants  the  necessary  shifts,  using 
a  light  compost.  Soil  containing  a 
good  deal  of  half  rotted  leaf-mold  seems 
to  suit  these  begonias  to  a  nicety.  Cut- 
tings of  both  Cincinnati  and  Lorraine, 
put  in  even  as  late  as  this,  will  make 
neat  little  plants  in  small  pots  for  the 
holiday  trade,  and  of  these  small  sizes 
there  usually  is  a  shortage. 

Genistas. 

Give  genistas  an  occasional  clipping 
to  keep  them  shapely.  The  plants  should 
now  be  plunged  outdoors,  and  if  kept 
well  watered  and  sprayed  over  they  will 
make  plenty  of  growth.  To  the  unin- 
itiated it  might  be  well  to  say  that  ge- 


THE  CRAPE  CHASER 

The    ubiquitous    person   who    solicits    orders    for    funeral    flowers    is  a 

thorn  in  the  flesh  of  florists  who   believe  it  is  incompatible  with  the 

dignity  of  the  business  to  seek  sales  in  this  manner.

nistas  can  be  planted  outdoors  and  will 
make  remarkable  growth  in  a  short  time. 
They  cannot  be  lifted  successfully,  how- 
ever; even  if  they  do  not  die  when 
lifted,  thejr  will  lose  a  large  part  of  their

far  the  best  method. 


EASTER  HYDRANGEAS. 

I  have  some  hydrangeas  ordered  for 
delivery  this  fall  and  want  to  pot  them 
and  have  them  in  bloom  for  Easter. 
How  shall  I  handle  tliem?  I  also  have 
lUO  baby  rambler  rose  plants  potted  and 
set  out  in  coldframes,  and  I  want  these 
in  bloom  for  Easter.  They  have  started 
to  grow  nicely.  W.  C.  11. — Pa. 


an  abundant  water  supply  and  enjoy 
applications  of  liquid  manure  when  well 
rooted  in  their  pots. 

Keep  the  baby  ramblers  plunged  to 
the  brims  of  the  pots,  water  them  well 
and  spray  them  freely.  Early  in  No- 
vember store  them  in  a  dry,  frost-proof 
shed  or  storehouse,  and  keep  them  dried 
at  the  root.  Start  tlie  plants  into 
growth  nine  or  ten  weeks  before  Easter, 
pruning  lightly  first.  '  C.  W. 


Pot  the  hydrangeas  as  soon  as  they 
are  received.  Give  them  tlie  protection 
of  coldframes  or  a  cold  greenhouse,  to 
ripen  the  wood  well.  Gradually  reduce 
the  water  supply  and  keep  tlie  plants 
just  clear  of  freezing  during  the  winter. 
The  French  hydrangeas  are  much  earlier 
and  more  satisfactory  Easter  bloomers 
than  Otaksa,  and  I  would  advise  you  to 
use  them.  Start  your  plants  in  a  tem- 
perature of  50  degrees  about  January 
20  and  give  60  degrees  as  the  flower 
heads  show.  Keep  the  plants  cooler  as 
the  heads  show  color.    Hydrangeas  need

The  Florists^  Review 


July  19,  1917. 


SOCIETY  OF  AMERICAN  FLORISTS. 


THE   CONVENTION  PROGRAM. 


Of  More  Than  Ordinary  Interest. 

With  the  convention  only  one  calen- 
dar month  distant,  it  is  most  gratifying 
to  realize  that  arrangements  for  the 
convention  garden,  the  trade  exhibi- 
tion and  the  convention  itself  are  prac- 
tically completed,  and  that  there  re- 
mains only  the  big  attendance,  which 
all  the  workers  confidently  expect,  to 
insure  that  the  1917  convention  will 
be  the  greatest  in  the  history  of  the  so- 
ciety. 

The  convention  program  will  be 
mailed  to  members  this  week,  and  a 
careful  consideration  of  it  will  show 
that  there  are  subjects  of  most  vital 
importance  to  come  before  the  conven- 
tion, subjects  which  entail  action  tend- 
ing toward  great  benefit  to  the  trade 
generally. 

The  promotion  of  the  proposed  bureau 
of  credits  and  collections  has  been  be- 
fore the  executive  board,  and  that  body 
has  done  what  it  could  to  facilitate  the 
commencement  of  the  actual  work  of 
promotion.  But  great  ideas,  as  well  as 
great  bodies,  move  slowly,  and  it  will 
not  be  until  the  project  has  been  thor- 
oughly threshed  out  in  convention  that 
actual  work,  with  full  powers  conferred 
by  the  society,  can  begin. 

The  subject,  "Publicity  for  Flowers," 
will  again  occupy  the  attention  of  the 
convention.  While  the  full  aims  of  the 
society  have  proved  to  be  far  from  pos- 
sible along  the  lines  considered,  much 
good  work  has  been  done,  and  it  is 
hoped  the  subject  will  be  fully  dis- 
cussed, in  order  that  a  course  of  action 
may  be  decided  upon  which  shall  lead 
to  the  results  desired. 

May  Be  Danger  Here. 

There  is  a  rumor  that  the  Interstate 
Commerce  Commission  is  to  be  ap- 
proached by  the  express  companies  for 
a  ruling  as  to  whether  a  delay  of 
twenty-four  hours  in  the  delivery  of 
perishable  goods  should  be  considered 
otherwise  than  reasonable.  It  goes 
without  saying  that  a  ruling  from  the 
standpoint  of  the  express  companies 
would  result  in  much  hardship  for  our 
growers  in  the  shipment  of  stock  to 
the  markets,  and  the  trade  in  general 
would  suffer  much  injury.  This  matter 
should  receive  the  serious  attention  of 
the  convention. 

The  extension  of  the  sentiment  at- 
taching to  Mothers'  day  is  another  im- 
portant matter  slated  for  discussion, 
one  in  which  nearly  all  branches  of  the 
trade  are   deeply  interested. 

The  report  of  the  National  Flower 
Show  committee,  to  be  presented  by 
Chairman  George  Asmus,  will,  it  is  ex- 
pected, take  up  the  greater  part,  if  not 
the  whole,  of  one  session.  The  report 
will  demonstrate  that  the  wisdom  of 
doing  things  on  a  large  scale  is  un- 
challengeable, and  that  immense  bene- 
fits in  the  way  of  publicity  for  florists' 
productions  naturally  follows. 

The  work  of  the  committee  on  tariff 
and  legislation  will  be  fully  considered 
and  the  discussions  will  be  most  inter- 
esting, especially  in  view  of  the  fact 
that    certain    legislation    derogatory    to 


the  interests  of  florists  has  been  deemed 
sufficiently  important  to  render  the  en- 
gagement of  legal  counsel  absolutely 
necessary  in  the  stand  being  made  by 
our  society. 

Allied  Organizations. 

The  various  sectional  societies  will 
hold  meetings  as  usual,  and  in  view  of 
the  fact  that  certain  of  these  societies 
are  now  cooperating  with  the  S.  A.  F. 
in  much  of  its  work,  these  meetings 
will  take  on  more  than  usual  impor- 
tance. 

The  Florists'  Telegraph  Delivery, 
which  is  distinctly  a  section  of  our  so- 
ciety, will  hold  an  important  meeting

tion  may  be  fully  explained  to  them  and 
the  benefit  attaching  to  a  membership 
demonstrated. 

In  line  with  other  important  work 
taken  up  by  the  society  will  be  a  dis- 
cussion of  a  project  to  form  a  bureau 
of  insurance  against  storm  damage. 
President  Kerr  some  time  ago  appoint- 
ed a  committee  to  consider  this  impor- 
tant matter,  and  the  report  of  this  com- 
mittee will  be  presented  at  the  con- 
vention. All  florists  interested  in  this 
subject  should  surely  be  in  attendance. 
The  Florists'  Hail  Insurance  Associa- 
tion has  proved  a  great  success  in  spite 
of  serious  misgivings  at  the  start,  and 
it  is  possible  that  a  plan  for  insurance 
^against  storm  damage  can  be  evolved 
with  equal  success. 

Many  Hospitalities  Planned. 

"The  Florists'  Business  in  Relation 
to  the  War,"  will  be  another  subject 
for  full  discussion.  Some  able  speakers 
will  deal  with  the  various  phases  of  the 
subject  and  it  is  expected  that  much 
doubt    as    to    the    accomplishment    of 


"business  as  usual"  will  be  dispells  1. 

Complying  with  the  wishes  of  the  cv-- 
ecutive  board,  all  organized  forms  f 
entertainment  for  visitors  to  this  co  i- 
vention  have  been  dispensed  with,  ai,d 
such  entertainment  as  will  be  profferi  d 
will  be  largely  of  a  private  characti  r, 
although,  perhaps,  none  the  less  enjo  - 
able.  The  New  York  trade  will  see  o 
it  that  hospitality  is  not  wanting  and 
with  the  many  pleasures  and  attractioi  s 
at  all  times  to  be  found  in  New  Yor'  , 
visitors  are  not  likely  to  greatly  mi  s 
the  functions  such  as  have  been  in  evi- 
dence at  former  conventions. 

The  Ladies'  Society  of  American 
Florists  will,  as  is  customary,  ha\e 
quarters  in  the  Grand  Central  Palaci , 
near  the  secretary's  office,  where  Mrs. 
Charles  H.  Maynard,  its  secretary,  will 
be  in  attendance  to  receive  members 
and   visitors.

The  State  Florists'  Association  of  In-

at  Castle  hall,  Indianapolis.  There  was 
an  unusually  large  number  of  members 
present,  and  they  heard  the  proposed 
wind  storm  insurance  and  coal  questions 
discussed.

More  Frizes  at  State  Fair. 


\.  F.  J.  Baur  proposed  that  the  as- 
sociation back  a  flower  show  at  the  city 
conservatory  this  fall.  He  said  he  be- 
lieved that  such  an  exhibition  would  be 
good  for  the  florists  of  Indianapolis  and 
tho  state.  He  also  encouraged  members 
to  enter  stock  at  the  state  fair.  The 
amateur  classes  had  been  eliminated,  he 
said,  and  the  money  heretofore  devoted 
to  prizes  in  this  class  will  now  be  dis- 
tributed among  the  commercial  growers. 
Tho  premium  list  this  year  has  the  fol- 
lowing additions  to   the   usual   classes: 

Crotons  In  assortment,  ten  plants,  SIC  to  first; 
^C  to  second;  $4  to  third. 

lioKonia  Gloire  de  Lorraine,  ten  plants,  $10 
to  first;  $6  to  second;  $4  to  third. 

Lilies,  longiflorum  type,  twelve  plants,  $10  to 
first;  $6  to  second;  $4  to  third. 

Lilies,  speciosum  rubrum,  twelve  plants,  $10 
to  first;  $6  to  second;   $4  to  third. 

Hanging  basket,  $6  to  first;  $4  to  second;  $2  to 
third. 

Wreath  on  easel,  $20  to  drst;  $15  to  second: 
$10  to  third. 

Display  of  zinnias,  $10  to  first;  $6  to  second; 
$4  to  third. 

Twenty-five  yellow  roses,  $7  to  first;  $5  to  sec- 
ond; $3  to  third. 

Twenty-five  assorted  roses,  $7  to  first;  $5  to 
second;   $3   to  third. 

Fifty  assorted  carnations,  $7  to  first;  $5  to 
second;   $3   to   third. 

The  names  of  A.  H.  Nehrling,  of  Craw- 
fordsville,  and  Leo  J.  Eickenbach,  of  In- 
dianapolis, were  proposed  for  member- 
ship. Mr.  Kenworthy,  of  Eichmond,  was 
elected  a  member. 

After  adjournment  a  social  hour  and 
a  splendid  dinner  at  Geiger's  were  en-

WHERE  HOUSES  AEE  TOO  WARM. 

i  would  like  to  know  a  solution  of  the 
pii'blem  of  how  to  keep  greenhouses  cool 
i"  the  summer.  We  of  the  south  and 
West  can  heat  our  houses,  but  when  it 
comes  to  keeping  them  cool  in  the  sum- 
mer we  are  up  against  it.  What  plan 
of  construction  is  best  for  a  summer 
li'  use?  I  expect  to  build  this  fall  and 
I  want  a  house  that  will  give  me  a  rea- 
S""able  temperature  from  May  to  Octo- 
t>er.  My  present  house  extends  east  and 
'■"  -t  and  seems  cooler  than  those  ex- 
'  •  ding  north  and  south.  Am  I  correct 
lliinking  an  east  and  west  house  is 
-v    cooler?  C.  C— Okla. 


^  fiis  is  a  pertinent  question  and  one 

t  should  receive  more  attention  from 

thern   growers.      So  far  as  I  know,

proportion   to   the   results   obtained. 

e  are  thus   compelled  to  resort   to  a

VINCENT  J.  GORLY. 

A/'INCENT  J.  GOELY  has  not  lived  all  his  life  in  St.  Louis.  No,  not  yet.  But 
▼  the  forty  years  that  he  has  been  among  the  living  have  been  spent  there  and 
it  is  probable,  judging  the  future  by  past  performance,  that  he  will  continue  to 
make  that  city  his  home  for  the  balance  of  his  allotted  time.  And  there  are  many 
hundreds  of  St.  Louisians,  both  in  and  out  of  the  trade,  who  ardently  hope  so.  For 
Mr.  Gorly  is  the  president  of  Grimm  &  Gorly,  and  as  such  adds  to  the  joys  of  the 
consumers  by  providing  the  flowers  that  make  their  lives  more  worth  the  living, 
incidentally  bringing  happiness  to  grower  and  wholesaler  because  of  the  quantity 
of  flowers  the  Grimm  &  Gorly  customers  buy.  Mr.  Gorly  has  been  in  the  florists' 
trade  since  he  was  21  years  old.  That  he  has  made  a  success  is  evidenced  by  the 
fact  that  the  firm  employs  forty  persons.  His  brother,  Frank,  and  sister,  Jose- 
phine, also  are  connected  with  the  concern,  so  it  is  much  of  a  family  affair. 


100  degrees  in  the  shade  we  cannot  ex- 
pect a  temperature  of  80  degrees  under 
glass. 

The  best  house  for  the  south  is  the 
narrow  one,  say  twenty  feet  in  width, 
with  almost  continuous  ventilation  on 
both  sides  of  the  ridge,  and  also  side 
ventilation.  Two,  or  even  three,  such 
houses  may  be  joined  with  iron  gutters, 
but  in  that  event  the  houses  should  not 
run  over  100  feet  in  length,  in  order  to 
get  the  full  benefit  of  the  open  doors  or 
end  sash.  Two  houses,  each  twenty  feet 
in  width,  joined  together,  may  cost  a 
little  more  to  build  than  one  house  forty 
feet  wide,  but  the  fact  that  the  two  nar- 
row houses  will  have  double  the  amount 
of  top  ventilation  will  more  than  bal- 
ance the  extra  expense.  Such  houses  will 
grow  roses  splendidly,  even  during  the 
hottest  months,  if  the  walks  are  kept 


well  dampened  down  and  the  plants 
sprayed  a  few  times  each  day.  A  light 
shade  may  also  be  applied  to  the  roof. 
By  all  means  I  would  advise  running 
the  houses  north  and  south,  or  within  a 
point  or  two  either  way.  Such  houses 
are  decidedly  cooler  and  cause  no  great 
amount  of  discomfort  to  the  workmen. 
I  have  worked  in  houses  running  east 
and  west  where  it  was  crucifying  to  re- 
main more  than  half  an  hour  at  a  time 
during  the  hot  months,  but  I  have  never 
been  seriously  inconvenienced  working 
in  such  houses  as  I  have  tried  to 
describe.  L. 

Cambridge,  Mass.— E.  F.  Norberg  has 
leased  the  McKenzie  Greenhouses  and 
will  grow  a  general  plant  stock.  With 
several  years'  experience  gained  at  the 
W.  W.  Edgar  Co.  establishment,  his 
success  is  predicted.

For  a  decade  Killarney  has  had  a 
place  on  the  benches  of  Wendland  & 
Keimel  Co.,  rose  growers  at  Elmhurst, 
111.,  but  the  records  show  that  it  now  is 
less  profitable  than  other,  newer  varie- 
ties and  it  has  been  discarded. 

After  clearing  the  last  bench  of  Kil-

piled the  following  little  summary  of 
the  ten  years'  records:

RESTING  THE  ROSES. 

Referring  to  the  reply  by  H.  O.  to  the 
inquiry  of  E.  C,  Ind.,  relative  to  the 
best  metliod  to  pursue  in  drying  off 
roses,  in  the  issue  of  July  12,  I  take  the 
liberty  of  assuming  the  role  of  a  dissen- 
tient in  regard  to  the  theory  H.  O.  ex- 
pounds. My  conception  of  the  philoso- 
phy of  drying  off  greenhouse  roses  after 
a  season  of  activity  argues  that  a  com- 
plete and  not  a  partial  rest  is  essential. 
A  deep  and  vigor-renewing  sleep,  not  a 
light  nap. 

Botanical  theory  regarding  the  bio- 
logical transition  that  takes  place  in 
trees  and  shrubs  existing  in  a  state  of 
nature  in  the  temperate  zone  at  the 
time  activity  of  growth  is  supplanted  by 
dormancy,  as  I  have  interpreted  it,  con- 
clusively demonstrates  that  defoliation 
of  deciduous  plants  is  a  vital  part  of 
vegetable  economy  and  must  occur  an- 
nually in  order  that  their  destiny's  great- 
est prophecy  may  be  fulfilled. 

The  leaves,  it  has  been  pointed  out,  as 
the  organs  of  respiration,  digestion  and 
assimilation,  in  the  performance  of  their 
functions  give  rise  to  the  accumulation 
of  waste  matter.  Their  facilities  to  care 
for  the  waste  are  sufficient  for  a  period 
of  six  or  seven  months,  but  after  that 
time  a  purging  of  the  system  is  neces- 
sary. Nature  most  efficiently  adminis- 
ters the  purgative  by  cooling  the  soil 
iu   the  autumn,  which   tends  to  retard 


imbibition  of  moisture  by  the  roots  and 
results  in  the  recession  of  stored  up  and 
unutilized  manufactured  compounds  in 
the  leaf  cells,  to  the  branches  and  stock. 
When  this  conservation  process  is  con- 
summated, the  leaves,  with  their  residue 
of  waste,  commence  to  fall. 

Rose  plants  existing  under  artificial 
conditions  in  the  greenhouse  must  con- 
form to  the  fundamental  laws  of  vege- 
table economy,  and  as  the  state  of  na- 
ture demonstrates  the  great  essentiabili- 
ty  of  dormancy  following  activity,  a  rest 
that  terminates  in  complete  defoliation 
should  be  afforded  them  if  maximum 
productivity  is  desired.

DOINGS  AT  AMES. 

It  has  been  a  busy  season  at  the  Iowa 
State  College.  A  herbaceous  perennial 
garden  was  started  this  spring  and  is 
now  coming  along  nicely.  It  is  laid  out 
in  beds  twelve  feet  in  width  and  fifty 
feet  in  length,  separated  by  wide  grass 
paths.  There  are  more  than  300  dif- 
ferent species  and  varieties  includ'ed  in 


OTAKSA  LEAVES  TURN  WHI1 

I  am  enclosing  a  Hydrangea  otal 
leaf  that  has  turned  white.  A  numl 
of  my  plants  are  affected  this  way  a 
some  of  them  have  died.  These  ;■ 
planted  outside  and  stay  out  all  wint 
Some  are  planted  in  soil  that  is  natural- 
ly hard,  while  some  are  in  looser  groui  d. 
In  both  locations  a  number  of  the  plai  ta 
remain  green.  Please  tell  me  what  ;o 
do  for  these  plants?         C.  E.  B.— Del. 

The  most  probable  cause  of  the  leaA  .^s 
dying  is  lack  of  moisture  at  the  roois. 
Perhaps  the  soil  is  more  shallow  where 
the  affected  plants  are  growing.  I 
could  not  see  any  disease  marks  on  tiie 
leaf  sent.  Occasionally  mildew  will 
whiten  the  foliage  of  hydrangeas.  In 
that  case  sulphur  should  be  dusted  over 
the  plants  attacked  or  they  should  bo 
sprayed  with  a  fungicide  containing  sul- 
phur.        C.  W. 

Mansfield,  O. — Stuhldreher  Bros,  are 
adding  a  greenhouse,  40x112,  to  their 
range  at  Lexington  and  Cline  avenues. 
Increased  business  has  made  the  addi- 
tion necessary.  It  will  be  planted  to 
chrysanthemums.  The  new  house  in- 
creases the  firm's  range  to  35,000  feet 
of  glass. 


Perhaps  the  most  interesting  news  in 
this  issue  of  The  Review  is  contained 
in  the  letter  of  A.  F.  J.  Baur,  stating  the 
steps  taken  by  Indiana  florists  to  or- 
ganize the  Florists'  Mutual  Casualty 
Association,  to  write  both  hail  and  wind 
storm  insurance. 

A  suit  for  $25,000  damages  has  been 
started  against  Timothy  Smith,  the 
Clevelander,  the  complainant  alleging 
that  his  skull  was  fractured  when  the 
automobile  in  which  he  was  riding  was 
struck  by  a  car  said  to  have  been  in 
charge  of  Mr.  Smith's  son.  It  pays  to 
carry  liability  insurance  on  the  car. 

Bom  with  a  horseshoe  in  his  hand, 
was  J.  M.  Johnston,  of  McKeesport, 
Pa.,  for  Mr.  Johnston  is  one  of  the 
lucky  few  who  have  a  strangle  hold  on 
the  high  cost  of  coal.  Mr.  Johx.ston 
possesses  such  a  precious  thing  as  a 
coal  mine  on  his  place,  and  since  open- 
ing it  this  summer  the  mine  has  pro- 
duced enough  coal  for  his  needs  and  a 
surplus,*  which  the  florist-miner  is  sell- 
ing. The  high  prices  of  coal  look  dif- 
ferent to  Mr.  Johnston  than  they  do 
to  most  of  us. 


Friday,  the  thirteenth,  the  day  of  tlic 
double  hoodoo,  made  good  its  threat  (if 
bad  luck  by  bringing  a  hail  storm  to 
Greencastle,  Ind.  The  hail  stones  were 
as  large  as  hens'  eggs,  say  John  Eitel  S' 
Son,  who  lost  1,650  feet  of  glass  ani 
about  $2,000  worth  of  stock.

METHODS  OF  PROPAGATION. 

I'j'lils  Is  the  fourth  installment  of  extracts 
fi.iii  a  paper  read  by  T.  D.  Hatfield,  of  Welles- 
1,'  Mass.,  at  a  meeting  of  the  Massachusetts 
j'l.ii'ticultural  Society.  The  fifth  will  appear  in 
;,,i  early  issue.] 

Relation  of  Stock  and  Scion. 

There  is  one  essential  that  must 
jicver  be  lost  sight  of  and  that  is,  the 
cti»ek  and  scion  must  be  in  about  the 
!j;,me  state  of  activity;  it  is  probably 
l.ttter  if  the  stock  is  a  little  ahead  of 
tiie  scion.  Even  though  they  be  dor- 
itinnt,  both  should  be  evenly  matched 
when  working  them. 

ji'or  indoor  grafting  the  roots  of  the 
ptock  must  be  active,  even  though  the 
vlant  has  otherwise  made  little  growth. 
Ir  is  well,  too,  that  the  scions  be  brought 
ill  a  little  time  before  being  worked, 
so  as  to  get  some  life  into  them. 

As  to  which  method  is  adopted,  that 
depends  on  the  time  of  the  year,  the 
kind  of  plant,  the  condition  of  the  stock 
and  scion  and  the  object  in  view.  What- 
ever is  done,  it  will  take  time  and  ex- 
jierience  to  succeed.  Indoor  grafts,  ex- 
ec [)ting  conifers,  may  be  waxed  over, 
tied  up  in  bundles,  and  packed  away  in 
.sphagnum  moss  until  united.  Outdoor 
grafting  should  be  done  in  spring,  near 
the  ground  level,  and  earthed  up.  There 
will  be  no  need  to  wax  them  over.  Dor- 
mant stock  grafted  indoors  in  winter 
may  be  stored  in  moist  soil  or  sand  until 
tlie  time  comes  for  planting  them  out. 

Generally  one  must  graft  like  on  like, 
but  there  are  exceptions,  for  we  are 
not  limited  to  the  same  species  or  even 
genus.  Some  plants  are  increased  in 
vigor  by  the  use  of  a  stronger-growing 
species  or  variety  for  a  stock,  and  the 
reverse  may  happen. 

Own-root  and  Grafted  Roses. 

No  better  illustration  of  the  effect  of 
stock  on  scion  could  be  given  than  the 
rose.  Most  roses  could  be  easily  got  on 
their  own  roots  by  cuttings  or  layers. 
Tea  and  hybrid  tea  roses  grafted  or 
budded  on  the  Manetti  attain  more 
vigor  than  when  on  their  own  roots  and 
this  is  the  universal  practice  now.  Boses 
grafted  or  budded  on  the  English  brier, 
which  has  a  distinct  period  of  winter 
rest,  do  not  force  so  well  as  when  on 
the  Manetti,  which  grows  more  or  less 
all  the  time.  On  the  contrary,  roses 
on  the  brier  are  better  for  outdoor 
planting. 

The  Paradise  apple  stock  is  used  for 
dwarfing  apples.  For  dwarfing  pears  a 
different  genus,  cydonia,  is  used.  Al- 
though the  apple  and  pear  belong  to  the 
same  genus,  they  cannot  be  successfully 
grafted  on  each  other. 

The  hawthorn  evidently  has  an  un- 
usually affinity  with  several  members 
of  the  pomifera  or  apple  group.  Pears, 
cotoneasters  and  mespilus  can  be  graft- 
ed on  it,  all  different  genera.  From  a 
shoot  near  the  union  between  the  haw- 
thorn and  the  mespilus  has  arisen  what 
is  known  as  a  graft  hybrid,  named  cra- 
tajgo-mespilus,  intermediate  in  charac- 
ter between  the  two  parents.  Cytisus 
can  be  grafted  on  caragana,  lilacs  on 
privet,  and  there  are  other  anomalous 
cases. 

Stocks  for  Fruit  Trees.  - 

Plums  may  be  grafted  on  peaches,  and 
peaches  on  plums.  For  light  soils  and  in 
the  south,  peach  stock  is  preferred.  For 
heavier  soils  and  in  the  north,  plum 
stock  is  preferred.  European  peaches 
and  plums  may  be  grafted  on  the  native 
Prunus  americana  stock. 

The  scions  of  dwarf  stocks  should  be 
kept  above  ground.  When  planted,  there 


Charles  E.  Schackermann  Enters  an  Order  Beside  His  Btiss. 


is  a  chance  that  the  annual  layers  of 
growth  may  overlap  and,  eventually 
reaching  the  ground  and  rooting,  may 
put  the  plant  on  its  own  roots  and  the 
dwarfing  may  be  lost.  This  happened  on 
an  estate  not  far  from  Boston,  where  the 
fillers,  dwarfs  or  supposed  to  be,  got 
on  their  own  roots  and  their  value  as 
such  was  lost.  Attaining  normal  size, 
they  crowded  the  permanent  trees  and 
had  to  be  cut  out  prematurely.

Mr.  Pillsbury  also  asks  that  all  the 
florists  of  the  state  remember  the  dates, 
prepare  to  exhibit  some  stock  at  the 
show  and  arrange  to  attend,  as  the  of- 
ficers want  to  make  the  Galesburg  meet- 
ing the  largest  in  the  history  of  the 
association. 


HAIL  AT   GREENCASTLE,   IND. 

A  hail  storm  struck  Greencastle,  Ind., 
July  13,  and  destroyed  1,650  feet  of 
glass  on  the  range  of  John  Eitel  &  Son. 
Damage  to  stock  was  estimated  at  $2,- 
000.  A  field  of  6,000  carnation  plants 
was  ruined.  Farm  crops  also  were  bad- 
ly damaged. 

The  storm  lasted  half  an  hour,  during 
which  hailstones  like  the  proverbial 
ones,  "as  large  as  hens'  eggs,"  were 
picked  up.  This  was  the  first  hail  storm 
that  ever  had  visited  the  Eitel  range. 

Eitel  &  Son  report  that  they  had  a 
good  season  and  their  other  stock  looks 
good. 

ADVERTISING  ILLINOIS  MEET. 

As  a  means  of  interesting  the  ama- 
teurs in  the  flower  show  to  be  held  in 
connection  with  the  fall  meeting  of  the 
Illinois  State  Florists'  Association  at 
Galesburg  November  6  and  7,  I.  L.  Pills- 
bury, president  of  the  association,  and 
K.  F.  Drury,  both  of  Galesburg,  are 
giving  chrysanthemum  plants  to  the 
children  of  that  city.  Premiums  will  be 
awarded  for  the  best  plants  grown  by 
the  boys  and  girls  and  each  one  making 
an  exhibit  will  be  given  a  free  ticket 
for  the   show. 

With  the  printed  announcement  of 
this  opportunity  for  the  Galesburg  ama- 
teurs    are     instructions     for     growing 


FALL  SHOW  AT  DES  MOINES. 

Approximately  $2,500  are  to  be 
awarded  to  winning  exhibitors  in  the 
autumn  flower  show  of  the  Iowa  florists, 
which  will  be  held  at  Des  Moines,  No- 
vember 7  to  10.  It  is  expected  that  the 
premiums  will  attract  entries  not  only 
from  Iowa  florists,  but  also  from 
florists  of  the  neighboring  states, 
the  eighty-five  classes  comprising 
twenty  classes  for  cut  mums,  thirteen 
for  roses  and  ten  for  carnations,  in  ad- 
dition to  those  for  flowering  and  fo- 
liage plants,  decorative  work  and  nurs- 
ery stock. 

A  number  of  special  classes  now  being 
planned  will  be  contained  in  the  sched- 
ule, which  will  be  ready  for  distribu- 
tion August  1.  Copies  may  be  had  by 
addressing  J.  S.  Wilson,  show  man- 
ager, Des  Moines,  la. 


BRIEF  ANSWERS. 

C.  C.  M.,  Ky. — The  soil  looks  good. 
For  analysis  of  it,  send  a  sample  to 
the  State  Experiment  Station  at  Lex- 
ington, Ky. 

J.  J.,  111. — None  of  the  catalogues 
lists  "Tree  Irrigator"  tiles.  Perhaps 
a  reader  will  give  the  address  of  the 
manufacturer. 


Washington,  D.  0. — The  senate  has 
passed  a  bill  providing  for  the  enlarg- 
ing of  the  United  States  Botanic  Gar- 
den by  adding  to  its  present  area  East 
and  West  Seaton  parks,  which  lie  im- 
mediately west  of  the  garden.  The  ac- 
tion was  taken  without  debate.

Own-root  and  Grafted  Roses. 

No  better  illustration  of  tlie  effect  of 
.^tork  on  scion  could  bo  given  tlian  the 
iiisc.  Most  roses  could  be  easily  got  on 
their  own  roots  by  cuttings  or  layers. 
Tea  and  hybrid  tea  roses  grafted  or 
I'udded  on  th(>  !Manetti  attain  more 
^  Igor  than  when  on  their  own  roots  and 
tliis  is  the  universal  practice  now.  Hoses 
U'vafted  or  budded  on  the  English  brier, 
^vliich  has  a  distinct  ]ieriod  of  winter 
icst,  do  not  force  so  well  as  when  on 
tlie  Manetti,  which  grows  more  or  less 
all  the  time.  On  tlic  contrary,  roses 
on  the  brier  are  better  for  outdoor 
planting. 

The  Taradise  apple  stock  is  used  for 
■Iwarfing  apples.  For  dwarfing  jiears  a 
'lifferent  genus,  cydonia,  is  used.  Al- 
'liough  the  apjile  and  pear  belong  to  the 
same  genus,  tiiey  cannot  be  successfully 
L^rafted  on  each  other. 

The  hawthorn  evidently  has  an  un- 
usually aflinity  with  several  memltcrs 
'd'  the  pomifera  or  apple  group.  Pears, 
'  otoneasters  and  mespilus  can  be  graft- 
'•d  on  it,  all  different  genera.  From  a 
■^hoot  near  the  union  between  the  haw 
Mioni  and  the  mespilus  has  arisen  wiiat 
is  known  as  a  graft  iiybrid,  named  cra- 
■a'goniespilus,  intermeilinto  in  charac- 
ter lietween  the  two  ])arents.  Cytisus 
lan  be  grafted  on  caragana,  lilacs  on 
privet,  and  there  are  otiier  anomalous 
'•ases. 

Stocks  for  Fruit  Trees. 

I'lums  ni.ay  lie  grafted  on  peadies,  and 
])ea(dies  on  plums.  For  liglit  soils  and  in 
the  south,  ))eacli  stock  is  jireferred.  For 
heavier  soils  and  in  tiie  north,  plum 
stock  is  preferred.  Phiropean  peaclies 
and  ]dums  may  be  grafted  on  the  native 
Prunus  americana  sto<dv. 

The  scions  of  dwarf  stocks  should  be 
kept  aViove  ground.  When  planted,  tliere 


Charles  E.  Schackermann  Enters  an  Order  3eside  His  Buss. 


is  a  (diance  that  tlic  annual  layers  of 
growth  may  overlap  and,  eventually 
reacliing  the  ground  and  rooting,  may 
put  thi!  plant  on  its  own  roots  and  tlie 
dwarfing  may  be  lost.  This  happened  on 
an  estate  not  far  from  Boston,  wlicre  the 
tillers,  dwarfs  or  supposed  to  be,  got 
on  their  own  roots  and  their  \aluc  as 
such  was  lost.  Attaining  iinnnal  size, 
they  crowded  the  permanent  trees  and 
had  to  be  cut  out  prematurely.

HYBRIDIZING  CUCUMBERS. 

Can  you  tell  me  how  to  cross  the 
English  frame  cucumber,  Telegraph, 
with  Vickery  Forcing,  an  improved 
White  Spine,  to  produce  the  hybrid  cu- 
cumber for  greenhouse  use?  The  hy- 
brid is  supposed  to  have  the  good  quali- 
ties of  both,  being  well  shaped  and  a 
heavy  cropper.  Any  information  in 
regard  to  this  will  be  appreciated. 

N.  C.  N.— Kan. 


Pick  off  a  male  flower  of  the  Tele- 
graph and  strip  away  the  petals,  leaving 
only  the  central  part  of  the  flower. 
Fertilize  with  this  a  female  flower  or 
flowers  of  the  Vickery  White  Spine 
type;  the  female  flowers  produce  the 
fruit.  Protect  the  fertilized  flower  or 
flowers  with  fine  gauze  to  prevent  ferti- 
lization by  bees  or  other  outside  agents. 
It  is  a  safe  plan  to  protect  the  flowers 
to  be  fertilized  before  they  are  open; 
then  you  are  sure  your  cross  is  not  inter- 
fered with.  It  would  be  best  to  ferti- 
lize the  flowers  on  one  or  two  plants 
and  to  remove  all  the  fruits  from  these 
except  the  ones  you  have  fertilized,  to 
allow  the  fruits  to  reach  their  best  de- 
velopment. A  vice  versa  cross  would 
probably  give  similar  results.       C.  W. 


BUFFALO. 


The  Market. 


As  we  are  well  into  the  third  week 
of  July,  business  has  a  right,  so  to 
speak,  to  be  a  trifle  slow.  Although 
during  the  second  week  the  retailer  had 
nothing  but  rain  to  contend  with,  so  far 
July  is  said  to  compare  favorably  with 
the  same  month  of  many  previous  years. 

There  is  an  abundant  supply  of  every- 
thing in  the  market;  in  fact,  in  some  in- 
stances there  is  an  oversupply.  An  ex- 
ception should  be  made  of  good  Ameri- 
can Beauties.  These  are  few,  but  Eus- 
sell  and  Francis  Scott  Key  readily  re- 
place them.  The  Killarneys  have  suc- 
cumbed to  mildew,  but  there  are  plenty 
of    others    to    fill    the    gap.      Carnations 


have  held  up  exceptionally  well,  a  condi- 
tion attributed  to  the  cool  weather. 
Sweet  peas  are  available  in  quantities, 
but  many  of  them  are  inferior.  Del- 
phiniums, mignonette,  snapdragons  and 
calendulas  arrive  in  large  consignments 
and  seem  to  clear  daily,  though  how  is 
difficult  to  say.  The  greens  situation 
has  improved. 

Various  Notes. 

Tracy  Dickinson,  who  has  been  asso- 
ciated with  L.  C.  Stroh  &  Sons,  of  Ba- 
tavia,  has  enlisted  in  a  military  band 
at  Syracuse.  Walter  Stroh  was  in  town 
last  week. 

Henry  Wise,  who  ha,s  been  manager 
for  the  Erie  Floral  Co.  for  the  last 
twelve  years,  has  tendered  his  resigna- 
tion since  the  recent  change  in  owner- 
ship from  the  Kasting  Co.  Mr.  Wise 
was  a  successful  manager,  and  had  his 
share  of  difficulties  to  overcome. 

The  Buffalo  Florists'  Club  will  hold 
its  annual  outing  at  Smith's  grove, 
Genesee  street  and  Union  road,  July 
25.  Picnickers  should  take  the  Gene- 
see street  car  to  the  city  line,  and  from 
there  take  the  Depew  car.  The  grounds 
are  a  five  minutes'  walk  from  the  car 
line.  •  A.  E. 


KANSAS  CITY,  MO. 


The  Market. 

The  demand  for  good  stock  fluctuates, 
being  good  one  day  and  poor  the  next. 
Gladioli,  lilies,  roses,  carnations  and 
perennials  are  about  the  only  flowers 
in  the  market.  Gladioli  sell  best,  with 
roses  close  seconds.  There  is  an  abun- 
dance of  stock,  especially  the  poorer 
grade,  much  of  which  is  sold  on  the 
streets. 

No  one,  however,  is  complaining  about 
business,  which  is  at  least  as  good 
as  during  the  summer  months  of  other 
years.  There  has  been  considerable  fu- 
neral work  during  the  last  two  weeks. 

Various  Notes. 

James  B.  Masson  has  purchased  a 
new  delivery  automobile.  He  has  his 
houses  all  planted  and  everything  in 
readiness  for  the  season.  Mr.  Masson 
says  he  has  been  exceptionally  busy  with 
funeral  work. 

W.  J.  Barnes  has  been  busy  with  fu- 
neral work. 


Eay  Sturgeon  has  sold  about  all  his 
stock.  He  will  retire  from  the  green- 
house business  and  go  on  a  farm. 

The  growers  are  busy  getting  their 
places  ready  for  fall.  E.  D.  Ellsworth 
has  his  houses  at  Forest  lake  planted 
and  R.  S.  Brown  &  Son  are  fast  getting 
their  houses  into  shape. 

The  Stockdale  greenhouses  have  been 
doing  a  big  business  in  young  chrysan- 
themum plants. 

S.  Bryson  Ayres  is  sending  in  a  lot  of 
good  sweet  peas.  His  gladioli  also  are 
good. 

T.  J.  Noll  &  Co.  report  that  business 
continues  good.  They  have  been  ship- 
ping large  orders  recently. 

Henry  Kusik  soon  will  leave  for  Chi-

According  to  the  annual  assessments,

Mr.  and  Mrs.  T.  L.  O'Connor  last 
week  arrived  at  the  Mathewson,  Narra- 
gansett  Pier,  for  the  season. 

Archie  Serro,  an  employee  at  the  Kop- 
pelman  greenhouses.  East  Providence, 
was  struck  by  an  automobile  last  week 
as  he  rode  out  of  a  lane  near  the  green- 
houses on  his  way  home.  He  suffered 
a  fracture  of  the  collar  bone. 

Harry  Swanson  has  been  taking  a  few 
days '  respite  from  business  with  friends 
at  Shawomet  beach. 

Earl  Smith,  of  Pawtucket,  is  enjoying 
short  trips  about  New  England  in  his

POEHLMANN  PROGRESS. 

The  old-time  florist,  whose  memories 
of  the  trade  reach  back  over  the  last 
score  of  years,  cannot  but  be  impressed 
when  he  contrasts  in  his  mind  the  busi- 
ness establishments  of  today  with  what 
they  have  been  in  even  the  quite  recent 
past.  And  this  improvement  has  not 
been  confined  to  any  one  branch  or  de-' 
partment,  but  has  included  all  sections 
of  the  trade.  As  the  retailer  grew,  his 
needs  increased  proportionately  and 
many  supply  houses  sprang  up  to  cater 
to  his  wants.  Starting  in  a  small  way, 
many  of  these  supply  businesses  have 
grown  steadily  until  they  are  establish- 
ments of  no  mean  proportions. 

The  accompanying  illustration  shows 
a  portion  of  the  supply  department  dis- 
play room  of  Poehlmann  Bros,  Co.,  Chi- 
cago, recently  opened.  This  occupies  a 
space  of  about  5,000  square  feet  and  is 
adjacent  to  the  company's  wholesale 
cut  flower  store.  Begun  in  a  small  way 
about  five  years  ago,  this  department 
has  grown  to  large  proportions  and  the 
opening  of  the  new  display  room  marks 
another  station  in  this  march  onward. 
The  department  is  under  the  manage- 
ment of  T.  E.  Waters.  '

Oneco,  Fla. — Arthur  James,  for  thirty 
years  a  florist  of  Pittsburgh,  Pa.,  has 
begun  work  here  on  a  fernery,  on  a  tract 
of  sixty  acres.  Mr.  James  at  first  will 
specialize  in  the  various  types  of  neph- 
rolepis,  which  he  will  wholesale  in 
the  northern  markets.  Later  he  ex- 
pects to  grow  asparagus,  crotons  and 
rubber  plants.

INDIANAPOLIS,  IND. 


The  Market. 

Business  has  been  fair  and  the  sup- 
ply of  stock  has  been  moved.  There 
has  been  an  abundance  of  lilies,  which 
have  been  in  demand  for  funeral  work. 
Those  of  good  quality  sell  at  from  $6 
to  $8  per  hundred.  Eoses  are  above  the 
average  summer  quality.  The  supply 
is  adequate,  with  prices  ranging  from 
$2  to  $6  per  hundred.  Gladioli  are 
popular  and  there  has  not  been  a  sup- 
ply sufficient  for  the  demand.  They 
bring  $5  to  $6  per  hundred.  Snap- 
dragons also  are  in  demand.  Good  qual- 
ity flowers  sell  at  $1  to  $2  per  hundred. 
Sweet  peas  and  Shasta  daisies  are  im- 
portant items  now.  Dahlias  are  begin- 
ning to  make  their  appearance,  but  not 
in  quantities. 

Delphinium  temporarily  is  out  of  the 
market,  the  first  crop  having  been  ex- 
hausted and  the  second  not  ready.  As- 
ters are  in,  but  are  of  poor  quality. 
Prices  range  from  $1.50  to  $2.50  per 
hundred.  There  is  the  usual  supply  of 
outdoor  flowers.  Good  fancy  ferns  are 
in  the  market.  Plumosus  and  Sprengeri 
are  scarce  and  smilax  is  of  inferior 
quality.

The  Market. 


During  the  last  week  the  flower  mar- 
ket has  been  in  a  hopeless  condition,  and 
it  seems  likely  to  continue  so  for  at  least 
a  couple  of  weeks.  The  main  reason  for 
this  condition  is  the  belated  arrival  of 
outdoor  flowers,  which  were  just  about 
three  weeks  later  than  usual.  Ordi- 
narily the  glut  of  outdoor  stock  prevails 
about  the  middle  of  June,  when  wed- 
dings and  commencements  call  for  a 
large  portion  of  the  stock.  Now  large 
quantities  of  the  flowers  are  here  and 
consequently  much  greenhouse  stock  is 
not  purchased. 

The  markets  and  stores  are  quiet 
places  these  days.  Apart  from  the  ordi- 
nary run  of  business,  there  is  little 
funeral  work  to  help  to  move  the  flow- 
ers. Roses  are  in  large  supply,  but  the 
greater  part  of  them  are  short.  Ophelia 
and  Sunburst  move  well.  Prices  are  con- 
siderably lower  than  they  were  and  good 
stock  can  be  bought  for  $2  to  $3  per 
hundred.     There  is  a  quantity  of  Har- 


risii  lilies,  and  these  are  offered  at  low 
prices  to  clear.  Large  spikes  of  gla- 
dioli reach  the  market  and  move  easily. 
Candytuft  and  gypsophilas  are  brought 
to  the  market  in  quantities.  There  is 
an  abundance  of  good  sweet  peas,  which 
are  cleared  at  low  summer  prices.  Car- 
nations are  extremely  plentiful  and 
bring  about  $1  per  hundred  for  the  best 
flowers.  Large  Shasta  daisies  sell  well, 
but  there  is  no  special  demand  for  or- 
chids. Japanese  irises  are  plentiful  and 
come  in  handy  for  window  displays. 
The  market  is  well  stocked  with  all 
kinds  of  seasonable  greens. 

Various  Notes. 

Hugo  Teute  has  a  large  crop  of  car- 
nations that  hangs  on  account  of  the 
dull  business.  He  is  moving  many  chrys- 
anthemum plants,  most  of  the  orders 
coming  from  out-of-town  patrons. 

Frank  Peartree  and  Leo  Mahoney,  em- 
ployees of  George  T.  Boucher,  are  on 
their  vacations.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Boucher 
and  children  are  on  an  automobile  trip 
to  Evanston,  111.  They  will  be  away 
for  about  two  weeks. 

The  net  proceeds  of  the  Rochester 
peony  exhibition  recently  held  at  Con- 
vention hall  in  aid  of  the  Red  Cross 
were  about  $161. 

Charles  W.  Curtis  is  cutting  some  fine 
sweet  peas,  with  good,  long  stems.  If 
everything  goes  well  he  expects  to  have 
about  20,000  gladioli  this  year. 

John  Orgar,  of  Irondequoit,  is  grow- 
ing some  topnotch  outdoor  bachelor's 
buttons.  His  carnations,  considering 
the  lateness  of  the  season,  are  especially 
good.  H.  J.  H.

"So  pants  the  elk  for  cooling 
streams,"  a  member  of  the  B.  P.  O. 
Elks  was  overheard  to  remark  to  a 
group  of  fellow  Elks  gathered  around 
and  admiring  the  unique  window  deco- 
ration at  the  Penn  store,  during  the 
Elk  convention  at  Boston  last  week.  A 
pen  and  ink  description  can  do  but 
feeble  justice  to  a  display  that  was 
considered  a  perfect  depiction  of  Elk- 
dom.  One  side  of  the  window  contained 
the  usual  summer  exhibit  of  ducklings 
and  water,  a  display  that  never  seems 
to  grow  old,  judging  by  the  crowds  con- 
stantly viewing  it.  The  special  subject 
was  a  herd  of  elks  browsing  in  a  valley, 
with  here  and  there  finger  posts,  upon 
which  were  written  the  several  virtu- 
ous tenets  of  the  order.  In  the  back- 
ground, on  a  hill,  stood  the  chapel,  be- 
side which  a  cooling  stream  gushed 
forth.  It  was  all  symbolic  of  the  order 
and  highly  interesting,  even  to  the 
casual  observer.  Delegates  from  Ha- 
waii and  the  Philippines  were  noted 
among  the  spectators,  and  what  a  card 
it  was  for  Penn!  The  opposite  window 
contained  a  display  of  choice  summer 
flowers,  richly  bowled  and  artistically 
arranged. 

S.  J.  Goddard,  of  Framingham,  Mass., 
has  a  few  standard  geraniums  left  with 
which  to  adorn  his  residence.  The  va- 
riety is  J.  J.  Harrison,  which  also  is  a 
splendid  bedder.  The  group  prominent- 
ly planted  in  front  could  have  been 
sold  many  times.     A  fine  lot  of  Fuchsia 


Black  Prince,  grown  in  standard  form, 
in  full  bloom,  was  noted;  also  the  grand 
ramblers,  trained  up  the  supports  along 
the  sign.  Carnations  had  been  thrown 
out  and  plants  were  being  lifted  from 
the  field.  The  new  ones  have  done  well. 
Though  it  has  been  somewhat  dry  of 
late,  each  appears  in  excellent  form. 
Matchless,  Rosalia,  Nancy,  Laddie, 
Doris,  Benora  and  Merry  Christmas  are 
the  leaders.  Chrysanthemums  have  a 
good  start.  The  home  vegetable  gar- 
den contains  uncommon  varieties  that 
tempt  the  palate  of  the  epicure.  Just 
beyond  is  seen  a  snug  bungalow  built 
by  a  lovely  daughter,  who  proposes  to 
share  it  this  fall  with  a  lucky  partner, 
providing  the  partner's  country  does 
not  need  him  to  fight.  "It  is  a  fight 
either  way, ' '  soliloquized  Mr.  Goddard. 

G.  H.  Sinclair,  of  Holyoke,  Mass., 
says  it  pays  to  keep  in  touch  with  the 
public  officials  and  newspaper  men.  His 
influence  was  seen  in  the  proposal  to 
send  all  flowers  presented  to  the  va- 
rious incomers  to  the  several  hospitals. 
The  idea,  while  not  entirely  new,  was 
made  the  subject  of  considerable  pub- 
licity and  must  redound  to  the  interest 
of  the  florist. 

H.  F.  A.  Lange,  of  Worcester,  Mass., 
keeps  the  observing  public  well  posted 
along  the  seasonable  lines  by  frequent 
changes  of  attractive  displays.  There  is 
nothing  special  to  record,  save  that 
business  in  general  is  moving  along 
steadily.  W.  M.

The  old-time  ilorist,  whose  memories 
of  the  trade  reach  back  over  the  last

when  he  contrasts  in  his  mind  the  busi- 
ness e«(tablisliinents  of  today  with  what 
they  lia\'e  been  in  even  the  (piitt^  recent 
luist.  And  this  improvement  has  not 
been  confined  to  any  one  branch  or  de- 
jiartment,  but  has  inclmleil  all  sections 
(d'  the  trade.  As  tin-  retailer  greV,  his 
needs  iiicri-ased  proportionjitely  and 
many  sujiply  iiouses  sprang  wy  to  cater 
to  his  wants.  Start  ing  in  a  small  way,

ROCHESTER,  N.  Y. 


The  Market. 


During  the  last  week  the  llowt-r  mar 
ket  has  been  in  a  hop(dess  condition,  and 
it  seems  likely  to  continue  so  for  at  least 
a  coui)le  of  weeks.     The  main  reason  for 
this   condition   is  the  belate>l   arrival   of 
outdoor   flowers,   whi(di   were    just    about 
three    weeks    later    than     ii-ual.       Ordi 
narily  the  glut  of  outdoor  sto(  k  prevails 
about    the   middle   of   June,    when    wed 
dings    and    conimencemeiits    call     for    a 
large   ])ortion    of   the   stock.      \d\r  large 
(piantities   of    the   flowers   are    here   and 
consequently  much    greenhouse    stock    is 
not   ]turch;ised.

Results  bring  advertising. 
The  Eeview  brings  results. 

Reports  indicate  no  lack  of  confidence 
on  the  part  of  retailers;  they  are  placing 
large  orders  for  accessories  for  fall  de- 
livery. 

The  florist  who  grows  his  stock  up  to 
a  quality  rather  than  down  to  a  price  is 
a  winner  every  time,  provided  he  has 
average  selling  ability. 

There  was  a  time  when  the  trade 
looked  on  the  cut  flower  grower  as  the 
monarch  of  all  he  surveyed;  then  it  was 
the  plantsman  who  was  envied;  but  today 
it  is  the  retailer  who  is  in  the  ascendant, 
with  the  opportunity  to  go  as  far  as  he 
likes. 

Schedules  have  been  issued  for  the 
combined  exhibitions  of  the  American  In- 
stitute and  the  American  Dahlia  Society, 
at  the  Engineering  building,  New  York, 
Septem])er  25  to  27.  Anyone  interested 
should  address  W.  A.  Eagleston,  secre- 
tary, 324  West  Twenty-third  street,  New- 
York., 


lOXG 


Among  the  conspicuous  successes  of  re- 
cent years  have  been  a  few  with  the  Had- 
ley  rose.  It  is  not  possible  to  be  more 
definite  here,  but  it  is  reported  that  a  well 
known  grower  of  Hadley  for  the  New 
York  market  in  the  season  recently  closed 
had  gross  receipts  of  $3.09  per  plant  from 
the  variety. 

Some  growers  think  rose  plants  need 
a  rest,  more  or  less  complete,  every  few 
months,  but  one  of  the  most  successful 
men  in  the  middle  west  frequently  runs 
a  house  two  years  without  desisting  from 
the  application  of  food  and  water  and  he 
has  run  a  house  of  Wards  five  years  with- 
out a  pause. 


A  NUMBER  of  white  sports  of  Sunburst 
are  reported  in  widely  separated  parts  of 
the  country.  They  are  being  nursed,  but 
wliat  is  wanted  is  a  white  sport  of 
Ophelia,  the  rose  that  is  the  trade's  easi- 
est doer. 

One  of  the  things  which  make  the 
florists'  business  unattractive  is  the  long 
liours  employers  expect  their  store  help  to 
put  in,  to  compete  with  the  man  who 
lives  on  his  place  and  who,  therefore,  is 
on  call  at  all  hours.  It  is  all  very  well 
to  keep  open  as  long  as  there  is  business, 
but  a  record  of  sales  by  hours  usually 
will  show  there  is  little  to  be  lost  by 
closing  earlier  than  now  is  done,  even  if 
the  man  down  the  street  does  live  back 
of  the  store  and  sits  on  the  steps  till 
11  o'clock  these  summer  evenings. 


PRICES  BY  AGREEMENT. 

Before  the  printed  matter  for  next 
season  is  prepared  the  Horticultural 
Trades  Association  of  (ireat  Britain  and 
Ireland  plans  to  bring  the  individual 
interests  together  in  an  agreement  as 
to  prices.  Some  vpork  In  this  direction 
was  done  last  season,  but  too  late  to 
have  the  full  effect  desired,  and  this 
year  it  is  planned  to  start  in  time  and 
to  include  as  many  items  of  stock  as 
possible.  Certain  levels  of  values  must 
be  maintained  if  the  trade  is  to  con- 
tinue under  war  conditions  and  it  is 
hoped  to  be  able  to  assume  the  main- 
tenance of  these  values  by  full  discus- 
sion and  subsequent  agreement. 

Agreement  may  be  possible  in  Eng- 
land, but  in  the  trade  in  the  United 
States  nothing  of  the  kind  can  be  hoped 
for,  although  it  probably  is  as  urgently 
needed.  In  this  country,  sellers  are  of 
two  classes:  One  class  includes  the 
men  who  think  their  stock  is  worth  as 
much  as  any  other  growers',  if  not  a 
little  more.  In  the  other  class  are  the 
men  who  have  no  pride  in  their  stock, 
no  confidence  in  its  value  or  their  own 
selling  ability  and  whose  idea  of  price 
is  always  to  be  a  little  under  the  other 
fellow.  The  hope  for  fair  prices  lies  in 
tlie  first  class,  as  the  other  is  incorrig- 
ible. 


PREPAREDNESS. 


This  is  the  season  of  the  year  when 
tlie  retail  florist  has  little  to  do  and 
considers  himself  lucky  if  lie  has  enough 
business  to  pay  expenses;  the  whole- 
saler is  mentally  busy  trying  to  get  rid 
of  the  stock,  good,  bad  and  indifferent, 
wliich  is  thrown  on  his  hands  for  dis- 
jiosal  and  the  grower  is  getting  ready  to 
furnish  the  supply  for  next  season. 

The  activities  of  the  latter  should 
furnish  an  inspiration  for  the  former. 
(u't  ready  for  next  season! 

In  all  parts  of  the  country  there  are 
florists  more  progressive  than  their 
neighbors.  Their  names  may  be  learned 
by  a  careful  reading  of  the  news  letters 
in  The  Review.  Here  it  is  recorded  that 
(uie  is  making  alterations  and  improve- 
ments to  his  store,  another  is  installing 
a  new  refrigerator,  while  a  third  is  re- 
decorating and  making  his  store  bright 
and  clean  for  the  opening  of  the  season 
in  the  fall. 

Of  course  the  nature  of  the  stock  he 
carries  makes  a  florist's  store  attractive. 
But,  on  the  other  hand,  the  store  can 
make  the  stock  more  attractive  by  pro- 
viding a  setting  that  is  in  harmony  with 
the  ))eauty  of  the  flowers. 

This  is  house-cleaning  time  for  flo- 
rists. It  is  also  the  time  to  "paint  up 
and  clean  up."     The  labor  and  the  ex- 


pense will  be  turned  into  dividends 
next  fall,  and  winter,  and  spring,  when 
the  bright  store  is  getting  the  business 
and  the  dull,  drab  place  is  not. 


PLEASE  NOTE. 


Each  week  a  number  of  letters  and 
telegrams  containing  advertising  in- 
structions reach  The  Eeview  while  the 
paper  is  on  the  press — just  a  few  hours 
earlier  and  they  would  have  had  atten- 
tion a  week  sooner  than  is  possible. 

It  is  the  aim  to  give  prompt  service, 
but  to  secure  it  advertisers  should  note: 
"It  is  impossible  to  guarantee  the  in- 
sertion, discontinuance  or  alteration  of 
any  advertisement  unless  instructions 
are  received  by  4  p.  m  ,  Tuesday." 


SYSTEM. 

' '  In  many  cases, ' '  says  a  British  trade 
paper,  ' '  unpleasantness  might  be  avoided 
if  the  custom  were  adopted  and  rigidly 
adhered  to  of  acknowledging  receipt  of 
order.  A  printed  post  card  for  the  pur- 
pose would  suffice  and  the  little  labor  in- 
volved would  be  well  repaid  by  the  preser- 
vation of  good  temper.  The  large^  well 
ordered  establishments  of  course  do  this, 
but  a  good  many  smaller  plantsmen  and 
seed  houses  struggle  along  through  busy 
seasons  sadly  handicapped  through  lack 
of  businesslike  system  in  the  office,  al- 
though there  is  no  doubt  even  the  smallest 
business  will  grow  the  quicker  and  show 
the  greater  profits  if  a  proper  system  of 
working  is  adopted,  which  need  not  be 
elaborate  to  bo  efficient." 


TO  HELP  THE  TRADE. 

Practically  every  florist  stands  ready 
to  do  anything  that  will  benefit  the 
trade  as  a  body — provided  it  does  not 
call  for   too   great   personal  sacrifice. 

Well,  here  is  the  way  to  render  the 
greatest  possible  assistance  to  the  trade 
at  large — and  it  calls  for  no  sacrifice  at 
all. 

Everybody  recognizes  that  the  busi- 
ness man  who  owes  no  money  can  not 
fail — so  pay  your  bills. 

If  every  florist  gets  in  the  money 
due  him  from  the  public  and  passes  it 
on  to  those  he  owes,  the  trade's  liabili- 
ties will  be  sharply  reduced — and  then 
nobody  need  worry. 

Collect  and  pay — that's  the  way. 


CHICAGO. 

The  Market. 

There  is  a  spirit  of  marked  satisfac- 
tion prevalent  on  the  wholesale  cut  flow- 
er market  with  regard  to  the  excellent 
manner  in  which  July  business  is  hold- 
ing up.  Although  demand  generally  is 
somewhat  erratic,  the  average  business 
done  is  not  to  be  regarded  at  all  slight- 
ingly when  one  considers  how  far  along 
in  the  summer  it  really  is. 

Although  the  supply  of  all  items  is 
large  enough  to  meet  the  demand,  there 
cannot  be  said  to  be  any  superabundance 
and  with  a  fair  average  quality  all  the 
way  through  stock  moves  along  nicely. 
Exceptions  of  course  can  be  pointed  out, 
the  most  conspicuous  one  being  carna- 
tions, of  which  there  is  much  poor  qiial- 
ity  stock,  unsuitable  for  shipping  pur- 
])oses,  and  which  only  serves  to  depress 
prices. 

The  market  on  roses  is  entirely  satis- 
factory in  every  way.  The  cut,  gener- 
ally, is  of  a  fairly  good,  even  quality,

although  some  poorer  quality  stock  also 
finds  its  way  through.  American  Beau- 
ties are  not  an  important  item,  but  the 
limited  supply  which  arrives  is  moved 
with  little  difficulty.  Mrs.  Eussell  is 
easily  the  best  seller  and  prices  hold  up 
well.  Eed  roses  are  selling  exceptionally 
well  for  this  season  of  the  year.  There 
are  not  many  Eichmonds,  and  Milady 
therefore  meets  the  greater  part  of  this 
need.  White  Killarney  is  scarce.  Ophelia 
is  in  good  supply,  and  is  profiting  by 
the  shortage  in  good  white  stock. 

There  are  great  quantities  of  poor 
quality  carnations  on  the  market,  and 
these  are  found  to  be  a  heavy  drag. 
What  fairly  good  stock  does  arrive,  how- 
ever, finds  a  moderately  good  sale.  Car- 
nations usually  are  practically  out  of 
the  market  at  this  date  and  receipts  are 
decreasing  rapidly,  but  it  is  probable 
there  will  be  no  day  this  summer  that 
carnations  are  not  to  be  had. 

Easter  lilies  are  in  good  supply  and, 
although  their  sale  has  been  far  from 
satisfactory,  demand  now  begins  to  show 
a  tendency  to  increase.  Valley  and 
orchids,  though  not  in  large  supply,  ar- 
rive in  ample  quantity  to  meet  the  de- 
mand, and  no  scarcity  recently  has  been 
felt.  Althougli  the  quality  of  sweet  peas 
as  an  average  is  commencing  to  deterio- 
rate, some  good  stock  still  is  arriving  and 
this  finds  a  fair  sale.  The  supply  of 
peonies  is  shortening,  but  there  are  still 
considerable  quantities  in  storage,  and 
it  is  probable  that  they  will  still  be  ob- 
tainable for  several  weeks.  A  fair  sale 
is  recorded,  but  beyond  question  they 
are  depressing  tlie  prices  for  other  flow- 
ers. Gladioli  are  scarce,  the  local  crop 
not  having  yet  arrived,  and  it  was  at 
times  last  week  found  impossible  to  fill 
orders  for  them.  A  variety  of  summer 
flowers  arrive,  among  which  may  be  men- 
tioned the  aster,  of  which  a  limited 
supply  is  coming  in. 

Greens  of  all  kinds  are  in  increased 
su])ply.  A  groat  abundance  of  plumosus 
and  Sprengeri  is  to  be  seen.

Paul  E.  Klingshorn  continues  as  the

Various  Notes. 

Peter  Eeinberg  is  one  of  the  growers 
who  believe  it  is  better  to  be  safe  than 
to  be  sorry.  He  has  filled  all  his  coal 
sheds  and  is  industriously  building  up  a 
great  coal  pile  in  the  open  air,  carload 
upon  carload  of  Pocahontas  costing  more 
than  $5  a  ton  on  his  siding. 

That  there  has  been  no  curtailment  in 
the  use  of  flowers  for  customary  pur- 
poses  is   shown   by   the   fact   that   one 


downtown  retailer  in  one  day  last  week 
had  fourteen  orders  for  patients  in  the 
various  hospitals. 

Walter  Adams,  with  Mrs.  Adams  as 
chief  assistant,  has  become  nicely  set- 
tled in  the  store  and  conservatory  at 
the  southeast  corner  of  North  State  and 
Division  streets.  These  are  the  quarters 
fitted  up  several  years  ago  for  the  north 
side  branch  of  the  Fleischman  Floral 
Co.,  under  the  management  of  the  late 
John  Gormley,  and  Mr.  Adams  has 
much  larger  space,  much  better  display 
and  a  decidedly  better  location  than  be- 
fore. 

The  Johnson  &  Chronis  store  at  Lake 
Park  avenue  and  Forty-seventh  street 
is  to  be  thoroughly  renovated  this  sum- 
mer and  a  new  Eando  refrigerator  with 
double  the  capacity  of  the  present  one 
will  be  installed.  Mr.  Johnson  has  the 
fixture  ordered  and  expects  to  have  it  in

WE  HAVE  A  FINE  SUMMER  CROP  OF  ROSES 

You  will  not  be  disappointed  with  our  Summer  Roses.  There  are  none  better  on  the  Chicago  Market.  Good  quality 
Carnations,  fine  for  shipping,  still  coming  in.    We  also  have  a  complete  line  of  other  summer  cut  flower  stock.

place  soon.  This  store,  by  the  way,  is  one 
of  the  "veterans"  in  the  city,  the  tri- 
angular shaped  room  having  housed  a 
flower  store  twenty  years,  most  of  which 
time  Mr.  Johnson  has  been  its  pro- 
prietor. 

' '  That  certainly  looks  good, ' '  said 
Andrew  Chronis,  of  the  Alpha  Floral 
Co.,  Wabash  avenue  and  Adams  street, 
the  other  day  as  he  surveyed  a  $50  or- 
der for  baskets  and  a  bouquet  of  Kus- 
sells  that  were  ready  to  be  delivered. 
"Orders  of  that  size  are  not  so  numer- 
ous in  the  season,  but  the  quantity  of 
smaller  sales  then  makes  the  day  big. 
But  in  the  summer — yes,  that  certainly 
looks  good." 

The  first  Pink  Ophelia  to  reach  this 
market  are  reported  by  the  E.  C.  Amling 
Co.  Tliey  were  from  Wendland  &  Keimel 


Co.,  Elmhurst,  where  2,000  plants  of 
the  Breitmeyer  sport  were  benched, 
grafted  on  the  place  with  wood  sup- 
plied by  the  disseminator. 

Bassett  &  Wasliburn  are  just  finish- 
ing the  season's  big  addition  to  the  new 
range  at  Greggs  Station.  The  now 
houses  were  planted  as  soon  as  the 
benches  were  ready,  some  of  them  ahead 
of  the  glazing,  so  tliat  most  of  the  stock 
has  received  as  early  a  start  as  that  did 
in  the  houses  built  in  previous  years. 

Emil  Gede,  of  J.  A.  Budlong's,  who 
recently  enlisted  in  the  navy,  lias  been 
called  to  tlie  colors.  He  left  for  tlie 
Groat  Lakes  Training  Station  July  18. 

Weiss  &  Meyer  Co.,  Maywood,  made 
the  first  cut  in  a  house  of  Hadley  last 
week. 

Clara  Roinberg,    daughter   of    George 


Reinberg,  underwent  an  operation  for 
appendicitis  at  tlie  Passavant  Memorial 
hospital  last  week.  She  is  reported  to 
be  recovering  nicely. 

With  his  wife  and  little  daughter  on 
an  all  summer's  visit  to  Great  Bend, 
Kan.,  Felix  Roichling,  of  Peter  Rein- 
berg's,  is  living  the  life  of  a  bachelor. 

J.  E.  Poll  worth,  of  Konnicott  Bros. 
Co.,  is  back  on  the  job  after  two  weeks' 
vacation.  Mr.  PoUworth  is  one  of  the 
men  who  work  while  they  play  and  he 
has  been  doing  a  great  deal  of  cerebrat- 
ing and  is  full  of  new  ideas  for  the  fall. 

So  far  as  the  record  shows,  O.  A.  & 
L.  A.  Tonner  are  the  only  florists  in  the 
United  States  who  also  do  a  wholesale 
and  retail  business  in  pecan  nuts.  Each 
of  tlie  three  Tonner  sisters  owns  a  5- 
acre  pecan  orchard  in  Georgia  and  Wal-

ter  Tenner  has  twenty-five  acres  there. 
Last  season  the  trees  were  just  begin-

looks  after  this  end  of  the  family  en-

were  sold  in  the  Chicago  •  store  along

whether  he  will  be  able  to  resume  his 
duties  for  some  time. 

F.  G.  Healy,  manager  of  the  Eapid 
Wrapper  Co.,  is  on  a  vacation,  resting 
up  preparatory  to  a  big  drive  the  com- 
pany expects  to  make  in  the  fall.

FORT  WAYNE,  IND. 


The  Market. 

Business  slowed  up  to  a  considerable 
extent  last  week,  although  there  is  still 
a  demand  for  bedding  stock,  and  the 
shipping  trade  is  fairly  good.  Counter 
trade  has  been  slack;  weddings  are 
practically  over  for  the  season;  funeral 
work  has  been  good. 

There  is  a  good  supjily  of  flowers,  in- 
cluding outdoor  and  greenhouse  stock. 
Prices  are  about  normal  for  this  season 
of  the  year.  The  supply  of  Beauties  is 
not  large,  but  sufficient  to  meet  the  local 
demand.  Other  roses  are  equal  to  the 
demand.  Outdoor  sweet  peas  are  plen- 
tiful and  the  demand  for  them  is  good. 
Carnations  are  in  small  supply,  the  qual- 
ity becoming  poorer  and  poorer.  They 
soil  at  a  low  figure.  Asters  have  ap- 
peared and  take  the  place  of  carnations. 
Some  excellent  gladioli  are  offered,  and 
these  bring  good  prices.  Easter  and  calla 


lilies  are  decreasing  in  supply  and  val- 
ley is  almost  out  of  the  question.  Cat- 
tleyas  are  also  on  the  short  side.  There 
is  a  large  supply  of  outdoor  stock  and  a 
fair  supply  of  asparagus  and  other 
greens.   Smilax  is  of  poor  quality. 

Various  Notes. 

The  Doswell  Floral  Co.  reports  a  good 
demand  for  funeral  work.  They  have 
been  devoting  much  time  to  collections 
during  these  dull  days. 

The  annual  picnic  of  the  Fort  Wayne 
Florists'  Club  will  be  held  in  August. 
The  date  and  place  are  to  be  announced 
later. 

Business  at  the  Flick  Floral  Co.  store 
has  been  markedly  brisk  during  the  last 
week,  funeral  work  being  particularly 
heavy. 

A.  J.  Lanternier  &  Co.  reports  that 
the  week's  business  has  been  good  with 
them.  They  had  several  weddings.  The 
greenhouse  force  is  transplanting"  chrys- 
anthemums and  throwing  out  some  of 
the  rose  stock. 

Edgar  Wenninghoff  had  his  share  of 
funeral  work  and  a  good  counter  trade. 
He  is  showing  some  fine  Shasta  daisies, 
lilies    and    roses. 

Markey  Bros,  had  a  normal  week,  the 
bulk  of  the  trade  running  to  funeral 
work. 

Frank  J.  Knecht  has  ^returned  from 
a  business  trip  of  several  days  to  In- 
dianapolis. 

With  regard  to  the  coal  situation,  the 
growers  seem  to  be  divided  in  their 
opinions  concerning  the  lowering  of 
prices.  A  few  of  the  larger  growers  are 
getting  in  their  supply  at  market  prices, 
while  others  are  waiting  for  the  prom- 
ised slump  in  prices. 

The  Saturday  evening  and  Sunday 
closing  of  the  flower  stores  has  proved 
to  be  most  successful.  R.  F.

The  Market. 

Summer  seems  to  be  here,  and  busi-

different  varieties  of  stock  is  also  light, 
'  liere  is  little  or  no  surplus  in  the  mar- 
ket. Carnations  are  becoming  soft  and 
'he  quantity  is  decreasing  daily.  Eoses

made  the  most  of  the  opportunity.  A

There  were  music  and  eats  galore,  and

Various  Notes. 

Wilmer  Schumacher,  chauffeur  for  the 
Holton  &  Hunkel  Co.,  left  July  14,  when 
Troop  C,  Wisconsin  cavalry,  was  mus- 
.tered  into  federal  service.  After  a  short 
period  of  drilling  the  troop  will  go 
south  for  a  while;  then  it  will  be  trans- 
ferred into  different  branches  of  the 
service.  Mr.  Schumacher  expects  to 
.ioin  the  aviation  corps  at  tliat  time.  He 
has  one  brother  in  France,  who  went 
over  with  the  first  division.  Will's 
many  friends  in  the  trade  are  united  in 
wishing  him  a  safe  return. 

A  belated  item  of  importance  is  the 
marriage  recently  of  Miss  Ella  Voelzke 
and  C.  S.  Kitzerow.  Miss  Voelzke,  who 
operates  a  flower  store  at  3805  Lisbon 
avenue,  is  well  known  in  the  trade.  She 
was  associated  with  the  Holton  &  Hun- 
kel Co.  and  with  the  Gust.  Eusch  Co., 
before  going  into  business  for  herself. 
C.  S.  Kitzerow  is  a  son  of  C.  F.  Kit- 
zerow, who  has  a  greenhouse  range  on 
the  Port  Washington  road.  The  happy 
pair  left  immediately  for  their  honey- 
moon. Since  their  return  they  have 
been  overwhelmed  with  felicitations  by 
their  many  friends  in  the  trade.

Stock  last  week  was  fair  and  in  quan- 
tities sufficient  for  the  light  summer 
demand.  Roses  were  good  in  flower,  but 
the  stems  were  a  succession  of  joints 
and  the  foliage  poor.  Valley  was  of 
the  best  quality  and  the  demand  good. 
Orchids  were  of  excellent  quality,  some 
cattleyas  measuring  eight  inches  across. 
Gladioli  are  coming  in  fair  quality. 

The  usual  assortment  of  garden  flow- 
ers is  to  be  had,  but  the  demand  is 
small.  Lilies,  Harrisii  and  rubrum,  are 
in  oversupply.

THE  original  Album  of  Designs  was  published  in  response  to  many  Requests  from  florists  who  felt  the  need  for 
an  up-to-date  book  that  could  be  used  in  taking  orders  for  Funeral  Designs,  Wedding  Decorations  and  Bouquets, 
Table  Decorations  and  all  cut  flower  work  where  it  was  not  practicable  to  show  the  customer  the  finished  article  as 
it  would  be  when  ready  for  use.  With  the  publication  of  this  albucn  it  became  possible  to  show  the  finished  work 
in  beautifully  printed  pictures.  The  first  edition  sold  like  hot  cakes^a  second  and  third  edition  went  quickly.  Now 
a  fourth  edition  is  off  the  press.    Everything  is  in  it— all  the  standard  designs  and  many  new  pieces.

They  do  not  show  the  effect  of  the  hot  weather.  We  have 
them  as  good  now  as  any  other  time  of  the  year.  They  are  cut  in 
the  right  condition  for  shipping. 


GLADIOLI 

The  best  varieties,  such  as  Au- 
gusta, America,  Francis  King  and 
some  of  the  newer  ones.  Prices 
are  more  reasonable,  and  you  can 
look  for  big  value. 


ASTERS 

The  supply  is  increasing,  and 
we  will  have  enough  good  stock  to 
take  care  of  all  orders.  Plenty  of 
all  colors  and  all  grades.  Asters  for 
all  purposes.  $1.50-$3.00perl00.

PHILADELPHIA 


The  Market. 


The  week  lias  brought  an  advance  in 
prices,  due  to  light  receipts.  There  is 
some  business,  rather  more  than  usual 
for  the  middle  of  July,  vpith  somewhat 
less  flowers  than  usual  to  meet  the  de- 
mand. The  heavy  rains  have  damaged 
outdoor  flowers.  The  usual  summer 
mainstays,  gladioli  and  asters,  are  both 
late.  Gladioli  are  arriving  in  moderate 
numbers,  wliile  asters  have  only  just 
commenced  to  arrive  in  earnest.  Both 
are  bringing  good  jirices  and  could  be 
marketed  in  larger  quantities. 

The  Easter  lily  is  the  leading  flower. 
The  market  never  has  seen  so  large  a 
supply  of  lilies  at  this  season.  There  are 
too  many  at  times,  but,  taking  it  all  in 
all,  they  have  sold  pretty  well  at  rather 
moderate  figures.  Lilium  regale  affords 
variety.  Of  other  flowers  there  is  not 
much  to  say.  Generally  speaking,  the 
supply  is  meager,  though  a  decided  in- 
crease might  easily  prove  too  much  for 
the  demand. 

It  is  the  opinion  of  most  of  the  whole- 
salers that  the  tide  will  turn  in  a  few 
days.  They  expect  the  market  to  be 
better  supplied  with  good  flowers  when 
the  asters  come  in  more  freely.  Then, 
unless  business  improves,  they  look  for 
a  decline  in  prices,  especially  on  the  or- 
dinary grades  of  flowers.  Sweet  peas  are 
about  over. 

The  English  View. 

A  representative  of  the  seed  house  of 
W.  W.  Johnson  &  Son,  Boston,  England, 
in  conversation  with  Franklin  Ely,  of 
the  Henry  F.  Michell  Co.,  spoke  of  the 
effect  of  the  German  submarine  warning 
on  the  demand  for  vegetable  seeds  in 
England.  This  warning,  it  will  be  re- 
called, came  about  the  first  of  February. 
The  time,  Mr.  Dean  told  Mr.  Ely,  was 
particularly  opportune;  it  gave  the  Brit- 
ish seed  houses  six  or  eight  weeks'  time 
for  preparation  before  the  spring  season 
for    sowing    arrived.     So    the     English 


BERGER  BROS. 

EASTER  LILIES 

We  urge  our  friends  to  use  Easter  Lilies  when 
they  can,  because  they  are  good.  They  are  generally  to 
be  had  on  short  notice  and  our  price  is  moderate  for  such 
line  stock,         $1.50  per  dozen;  $8.00  per  100.

seedsmen  said  a  silent  but  earnest 
"Thank  you"  to  Germany  for  the  time- 
ly warning,  then  pitched  in  and  worked. 
The  result  is  that  all  over  Britain  are 
rows  of  potatoes  and  vegetables,  in 
places  that  never  knew  them  before, 
bringing  a  great  harvest  to  the  seeds- 
men and  to  the  people. 

Mr.   Bayersdorfer's  Chat. 

Harry  Bayersdorfer,  whose  enterprise 
has  made  him  almost  as  well  known  in 
Europe  and  in  Japan  as  in  America,  was 
seen  inspecting  the  corridor  just  opened 
between  his  present  warehouse  at  1129 
Arch  street  and  the  building  adjoining 


it  on  the  north.  "The  Eeading  rail- 
road," Mr.  Bayersdorfer  said,  "is  not 
ready  to  use  this  building.  They  have

The  Market. 

Last  week  the  cut  flower  market  was 
dull  until  July  14,  when  most  of  the 
stock  was  cleaned  up.  There  was  a 
deartli  of  perfect  flowers.  The  ship- 
ments of  roses  lessened  considerably 
and  prices  for  anything  perfect  at  the 
week  end  were  firm.  Good  Beauties  and 
the  novelties  and  specialties  sold  quick- 
ly. Of  the  short-stemmed  roses,  nothing 
usable  was  sold  under  50  cents  per  hun- 
dred. There  was  a  large  supply  of 
ramble*  branches,  mostly  of  poor  qual- 
ity. 

The  arrivals  of  carnations  are  fewer 
each  week.  Perfect  flowers  sold  at  $2 
per  hundred  July  14.  The  medium  and 
low-grade  flowers  went  to  the  peddlers. 
The  peony  season  ended  last  week.  Some

Now  as  never  before  it  is  important  for 
you  to  speed  up  your  deliveries. 

This  Overland  Motor  Wagon  shown 
above  is  the  type  that  florists  have  found 
profitable  and  practical  for  their  delivery 
service. 

Profitable,  because  it  has  the  stuff  in 
it  that  will  stand  up  under  the  wear 
ind  tear  of  steady  service.  With  ordi- 
lary  care  an  Overland  will  do  its  work 
^st  as  faithfully  the  second  or  third

And  it  is  practical  in  every  sense  of 
be  word.  It  is  light,  quick  and  easy 
1    handle — has   oversize    mileage-giving 


tires  both  front  and  rear — is  completely 
equipped  with  every  time-saving  conven- 
ience, such  as  electric  lights  and  starter, 
speedometer,  ammeter,  etc. 


No   matter  how   large   or   small    your 
business   may  be,   an   Overlard  Delivery 
Wagon   or  a   fleet  of   Overlands  will  re- 
duce   your    hauling    costs  and    increase     ^^ 
your  trading  radius.

ery problems  of  thousands  of  florists.

Greek-American  Florists. 

Nearly  300  persons  attended  the  out- 
ing of  the  Greek-American  Florists'  As- 
sociation at  Witzel's  grove.  College 
Point,  July  11.  The  trip  was  made  by 
boat.  There  were  sports  of  all  kinds, 
besides  bathing  and  dancing.  The  base- 
ball game  resulted  in  a  score  of  10  to  6 
in  favor  of  the  Greek  team.  The  prizes 
in  all  the  contests  were  cups  and  silver 
medals.  During  the  afternoon  many 
New  York  wholesalers  motored  to  the 
grove.  The  committee  in  charge  of  the 
outing  was  composed  of  Messrs.  Sakas, 
Pappas,  Pappadem,  Stathakos  and 
Mantzoras. 

The  prize-winners  in  the  various 
events  were: 

Boys'  race — George  Cosmas,  first;  E.  Clilndus. 
second. 

Girls'  race — Florence  Doctors,  first;  Anna  Las- 
cas,   second. 

Young  ladles'  race — A.  French,  first;  Sophia 
Kiliaze,    second. 

Married  ladles'  race — Mrs.  G.  Orth,  first;  Mrs. 
Demas,   second. 

Young  men's  race — James  Laskas,  first;  Lewis 
Hcnges,    second. 

Broad  Jump — P.  J.  Lecakes,  first;  Theo.  Chira- 
kos,   second. 

Members'  race — P.  Antonakos,  first;  C.  M. 
Sakelos,    second. 

Marathon  race — Joseph  Walters,  first;  G.  Mari- 
kes,  second;  E.  Kaurogenis. 

Various  Notes. 

There  will  be  a  special  meeting  of  the 
New  York  Florists'  Club  Monday  even- 
ing, August  11.  It  will  be  gladiolus 
night. 

Walter  Siebrecht  and  Clarence  Slinn,

coast,  had  reached  St.  Joseph,  Mo.,  July 
13.  They  expect  to  reach  San  Francisco 
July  25. 

James  Hart  fell  from  a  trolley  car 
July  11  and  fractured  a  rib.  He  has 
since  been  confined  to  his  bed.  Mr. 
Hart  is  75  years  old  and  is  one  of  the 
oldest  among  New  York  wholesalers. 

Al.  Bowker,  one  of  Eiedel  &  Meyer's

BRAMPTON,  ONT. 

The  event  of  the  month  was  the  To- 
ronto florists',  picnic,  which  was  held 
at  Center  island  July  11.  Apart  from 
the  tug  of  war,  the  whole  afternoon's 
sport  was  a  case  of  pulling  together  on 
tlic  part  of  everybody — something  quite 
novel  after  the  I-do-not-care  sort  of 
feeling   that   has   permeated    the   ranks 


during  the  last  fifteen  years.  A  more 
intimate  and  friendly  feeling  was 
aroused  on  this  occasion,  and  it  was 
generally  understood  that  the  picnic 
would  become  an  annual  affair. 

Rain,  rain,  rain,  has  been  tlie  order  of 
the  day  for  the  last  ten  days,  and  much 
damage  has  been  done  throughout  the 
province.  Hail  storms  have  been  heavy 
in  some  localities,  Messrs.  Xoal  and

losses  at  their  greenhouses.

BOSTON. 

The  Marlset. 

Flower  receipts .  have  fallen  off  de- 
cidedly and  some  improvement  is  no- 
ticeable in  the  demand.  As  a  conse- 
quence, the  market  is  cleaning  up  bet- 
ter and  prices  are  more  satisfactory. 
The  supply  of  roses  has  fallen  off  sharp- 
ly and  the  sales  are  more  encouraging. 
American  Beauties  move  slowly,  but 
there  has  been  a  fairly  good  call  for 
Ophelia,  Kaiserin,  Double  White  Killar- 
ney,  Francis  Scott  Key  and  other  hybrid 
teas.  All  of  these  continue  to  come  of 
fine  summer  quality,  thanks  to  the  ab- 
sence of  intense  heat.  Carnations  are 
still  plentiful.  Few  flowers  realize  over 
$1  per  hundred;  the  majority  half  that 
price.  Good  sweet  peas  are  soon  picked 
up,  but  many  seen  are  of  inferior  qual- 
ity. 

Lilies  still  sell  at  low  prices,  but  val- 
ley holds  up  well.  Cornflowers,  sweet 
sultans,  gypsopliilas,  coreopsis,  gaillar- 
<lias,  larkspurs  and  cosmos  meet  with  a 
fair  sale.  Gladioli  are  not  selling  par- 
ticularly well.  The  open-air  crop  here  is 
not  ready  yet.  A  few  asters  come  in,  but 
there  are  too  many  carnations  in  the 
market  as  competitors.  Cattleyas  are 
dwindling  in  numbers  and  will  soon  be 
scarce.  A  few  C.  Mendelii  and  C.  Gas- 
kelliana  are  seen.  There  is  a  smaller 
call  for  asparagus  now  that  gypsophila 
is  abundant. 

Various  Notes. 

Everything  is  arranged  for  the  annual 
picnic  of  the  Gardeners'  and  Florists' 
Club  at  Cunningham  park,  East  Milton, 
July  25.  Only  good  weather  is  needed 
to  make  it  a  complete  success,  and  in 
case  of  rain  there  are  roomy  buildings 
where  dancing  and  other  amusements 
can  be  enjoyed.  There  are  twenty-eight 
events  on  the  sports  jirogram.  These  in- 
clude separate  baseball  games  for  men, 
boys  and  ladies,  a  soccer  football  match, 
obstacle  race  and  quoit  match.  East 
Milton  is  conveniently  reached  by  steam 
or  electric  cars.  The  latter  pass  the 
grounds  at  frequent  intervals,  and  there 
is  ample  parking  space  for  teams  and 
autos. 

A.  S.  McDonald,  a  stallholder  of  the 
Boston  Cooperative  Market,  celebrated 
his  golden  wedding  anniversary  at  his 
home  in  Lexington  July  4,  and  was  the

grade    summer    roses,  which  realize  al- 
most midwinter  prices. 

The  Welch  Bros.  Co.  is  receiving  a  fine , 
lot  of  southern  gladioli.  The  firm  reports, 
that  trade  to  such  beach  resorts  as  Bar 
Harbor    and  North    Shore,   also    to    the 
White  mountains,  is   showing  a  steady 
increase. 

The  wholesale  markets  close  at  noon 
on  Saturdays  during  the  months  of  July 
and  August.  Why  cannot  the  wholesale 
commission  houses  do  likewise?  There 
is  little  for  their  employees  to  do  Sat- 
urday afternoons  and  practically  noth- 
ing Sundays,  but  as  conditions  now 
are  all  hands  are  kept  on  Saturday  af- 
ternoons and  some  have  to  be  on  hand 
Sundays.  New  York  tradesmen  have 
closed  up  on  Sunday;  let  Boston  follow 
suit.  If  one  firm  is  the  stumbling  block 
in  the  way  of  this  closing,  public  opin- 
ion should  soon  compel  it  to  close. 

There  will  be  a  prize  exhibition  at 
Horticultural  hall  July  21  and  22.  The 
annual  phlox  and  gladiolus  show  will  be 
held  August  11  and  12. 

.T.  R.  Comley,  of  Bedford,  at  present 
is  acting  as  salesman  for  his  brother, 
X.  F.  Comley,  at  the  Boston  Cooperative 
Market,  in  the  absence  of  John  Lynch. 
Good  Beauty,  Shawyer,  Francis  Scott 
Key  and  other  roses  are  being  sent  in. 
Some  90,000  roses  are  planted  for  next 
season.

John  A.  Nelson,  of  Framingham,  is 
busy  pulling  out  his  carnations  and  has 
one  house  of  Matchless  already  planted. 
His  stock  has  made  an  excellent  growth 
in  the  field  this  season. 

Ernest  H.  Borow^ski,  of  Eoslindale, 
who  was  severely  injured  in  an  automo- 
bile accident  about  six  weeks  ago,  now 
is  making  a  satisfactory  convalescence.

The  Market. 


Good  indoor  stock  was  limited  in 
quantity  last  week  and  the  long  dry 
spell  has  curtailed  the  outdoor  supply. 
However,  there  is  enough  for  the  small 
demand.  Roses  have  fallen  off  in  supply 
and  first-class  stock  was  hard  to  obtain. 
The  local  supply  of  carnations  is  off 
quality,  but  a  few  fancy  flowers  were 
being  shipped  in. 

Gladioli  are  in  good  supply.  Easter 
lilies  are  in  demand  for  funeral  work. 
There  promises  to  be  a  short  crop  of  as- 
ters, disease,  it  is  said,  having  killed 
half  the  plants.  Good  sweet  peas  are 
scarce.  Shasta  daisies  are  in  abundance 
and  the  demand  is  not  equal  to  the 
supply.  Snapdragons,  coreopsis,  gail- 
lardias,  cornflowers,  candytuft  and 
feverfew  are  in  good  supply.  Valley 
has  a  demand,  but  is  scarce.  There  is  a 
good  demand  for  green.  Flat  ferns  are 
plentiful,  but  good  smilax  is  not. 

Club  Meeting. 

The  Florists'  Club  held  its  regular 
meeting  .Tuly  11  on  the  grounds  of  the 
Bourdet  Floral  Co.,  Magnolia  and  Tower 
Grove  avenues.  President  Bourdet  pre- 
sided over  the  meeting,  which  was  held 
on  the  lawn  under  the  big  shade  trees 
near  his  home. 

The  trustees  reported  that  final  ar- 
rangements have  been  made  for  the 
annual  picnic,  to  be  held  July  26  at 
Eamona  park. 

Letters  in  reference  to  plans  for  the

publicity  committee,  made  an  interest- 
ing report  regarding  plans  for  the 
parade  preceding  the  picnic  July  26. 

Arthur  Beyer,  who  is  with  F.  C. 
Weber,  made  application  for  member- 
ship. 

W.  S.  Wells,  secretary  of  the  Missouri 
State  Florists'  Association,  said  that 
tlie  association  would  hold  its  next 
meeting  at  Columbia,  Mo.,  during  the 
last  part  of  August. 

The  following  nominations  for  offi- 
cers of  the  club  were  made:  Presi- 
dent, Jules  Bourdet;  vice-president, 
August  Hummert;  secretary,  J.  J. 
Windier;  treasurer,  W.  C.  Smith;  trus- 
tee for  three  years,  W.  A.  Kowe. 

It  was  decided  to  contribute  $25  to 
the  Ked  Cross  Society. 

A  campaign  for  memberships  in  both 
the  club  and  the  S.  A.  F.  will  be  waged 
bv  a  committee  composed  of  W.  J. 
Pilcher,  A.  S.  Cerny  and  W.  C.  Smith. 

The  local  committee,  which  will  coop- 
crate  with  the  National  Flower  Show 
committee  in  making  arrangements  for 
the  show  next  spring,  will  bo  composed 
of  Jules  Bourdet,  chairman;  H.  C. 
Irish,  J.  J.  Beneke,  W.  W.  Ohlweiler  and 
August  Hummert. 

The  club  adopted  the  resolutions  of 
respect  presented  by  a  committee  ap- 
pointed to  act  on  the  death  of  Alexander 
Siegel. 

Edwin  Denker,  of  St.  Cliarles,  invited 
the  club  to  hold  its  August  meeting  at 
his  place.     The  invitation  was  accepted. 

After  the  meeting  President  Bourdet 
entertained  the  members  at  luncheon. 

Various  Notes. 

Jules  Bourdet  spent  July  10  on  a  fish- 
ing trip. 

The  publicity  committee  of  the  Flo- 
rists' Club  held  a  meeting  at  Windier 's 
wholesale  house  July  10  and  made  ar- 
rangements for  the  floral  parade  to  pre- 
cede the  annual  picnic  July  26.  Florists 
wishing  to  enter  a  decorated  automobile 
should  see  W.  C.  Smith,  chairman  of 
the   committee.

Misses  M.  S.  Newman  and  Armstrong 
have  gone  to  Colorado  for  their  vaca- 
tions. They  expect  to  return  Septem- 
ber 1. 

The  St.  Louis  Seed  Co.  held  its  annual 
meeting  July  12  and  elected  the  follow- 
ing officers:  President,  N.  B.  Pantler; 
vice-president,  August  H.  Hummert; 
second  vice-president,  H.  Hiselmeyer; 
secretary,  J.  A.  Eau;  treasurer,  H. 
Stratmann.  The  annual  report  showed 
a  larger  volume  of  business  during  the 
last  year  than  ever  before  in  the  com- 
I^any  's  history. 

George  Waldbart  recently  was  elected 
vice-president  of  the  Grand  Avenue 
bank. 

Fred  J.  Foster,  who  recently  pur- 
chased the  greenhouse  establishment  of 
A.  J.  Bentzen,  on  Marcu*  street,  is 
overhauling  the  place  and  announces 
that  he  will  grow  ferns  and  decorative 
plants. 

W.  C.  Smith  is  contemplating  mak- 
ing an  automobile  trip  to  Colorado, 
where  Mrs.  Smith  is  spending  the  sum- 
mer with  friends. 

The  Kelly  Floral  Co.,  1805  Olive 
street,  has  gone  into  the  hands  of  a  re- 
ceiver. July  16  Jules  Bourdet,  F.  A. 
Wiu<ller,and  August  Hummert  appraised 
the  property  and  will  report  to  the  re- 
ceiver. Edward  Kelly,  the  proprietor, 
is  said  to  have  left  St.  Louis. 

C.  Young  &  Sons  Co.  has  a  number  of 
ducks  in  its  display  window.  They  are 
attracting  much  attention. 

Albert  Gumz,  of  the  Windier  Wliole- 
sale  Floral  Co.,  who  recently  suffered 
a  fractured  rib,  is  able  to  be  back  at  the 
store  after  an  absence  of  ten  days. 

Raymond  Welty,  witli  the  St.  Louis 
Wholesale  Cut  Flower  Co.,  is  away  on  a 
two  weeks'  vacation.  James  Bishof,  of 
the  same  company,  has  returned  from 
two  weeks  spent  at  St.  James,  Mo. 

Many  of  the  retail  stores  will  be 
closed  during  the  afternoon  of  July  26 
for    the     Florists'     Club    picnic.       Art

nity  to  see  floral  tributes  that  ran  the 
entire  gamut,  from  the  artistic  to  the 
ridiculous.  Senator  Young,  besides  be- 
ing prominent  politically,  was  for  thirty 
years  secretary  of-  the  Maryland  Insti- 
tute and  School  of  Design;  he  was  a 
member  of  many  fraternal  organiza- 
tions, from  the  Masons  down;  through 
his  son,  who  is  a  prominent  actor,  he 
was  in  a  way  connected  with  the  theat- 
rical profession.  He  was  a  great  lover 
of  flowers,  and  one  of  the  duties  of  his 
secretary  was  to  provide  him  with  a 
white  carnation  each  morning,  for  his 
coat.  He  was  never  seen  on  the  street 
without  it. 

I  relate  this  bit  of  biography  of  the 
man  to  give  some  idea  of  the  sources 
of  the  great  mass  of  flowers  at 
his  funeral.  All  of  the  organizations, 
etc.,  were  represented  by  floral  trib- 
utes. There  were  palls,  casket  crosses, 
wreaths  and  bunches,  from  the  best 
stores  in  the  city,  that  were  specimens 
of  floral  art,  together  with  designs  from 
the  various  societies,  and  it  was  ap- 
parent that  expense  was  not  considered. 
There  were  tributes  from  those  in  the 
more  humble  walks  of  life  that  had 
been  purchased  in  the  market;  and,  let 
me  say  right  here,  in  some  of  the 
cheaper  designs  one  could  n^t  help  but 
see  that  the  designers  had  used  thought, 
and  with  the  material  at  hand  had  made 
designs  that  were  a  credit  to  them. 

Emblems  Sometimes  Hard  to  Handle. 

Of  other  designs,  especially  those 
from  some  of  the  organizations,  the 
same  could  not  be  said.  I  will  cite  one 
fasp,  and  this  was  not  the  only  one,  but 
it  will  sliow  what  I  am  trying  to  get  at. 

Tlie  offering  of  a  patriotic  society 
was  a  cross  and  miter  resting  on  an 
easel.  Everything  about  this  design 
went  to  show  that  expense  was  a  small 
matter  with  those  who  ordered  it.  Now 
just  try  to  imagine  the  cross,  which 
was  fairly  well  made  of  red  and  white 
flowers,  and  the  miter,  the  most  prom- 
inent part  of  the  piece,  of  purple  im- 
mortelles, and  faded  ones  at  that.  This 
was  during  the  latter  part  of  June, 
when  cornflowers  or  blue  larkspurs 
covild  have  been  had,  and  no  doubt  at 
less    cost    than    the   immortelles. 

There  is  no  one  who  knows  better 
than  the  writer  that  emblems  of  so- 
cieties often  tax  the  ingenuity  of  the

desifjner,  in  order  to  carry  out  the  idea 
of  the  emblem  and  at  the  same  time 
harmonize  t)ie  colors;  but  in  this  case 
there  certainly  was  no  excuse.  I  have 
always  maintained  that  the  florist 
whose  customers  are  tliose  who  buy 
flowers  only  for  a  funeral,  is  the  one 
wlio  sliould  Rive  the  most  study  to  his 
work,  for  tliey  are  the  people  who  at 
SUCH  a  time  can  l)o  depended  upon  to 
think  of  somethinjj  impossible  in  flow- 
ers. 

Or  a  Keg  for  a  Brewer? 

I  remember  the  funeral  of  a  police 
captain  some  years  ago.  Notlnnt;  would 
do  for  his  men  but  a  representation  of 
a  patrol  wajjon,  with  the  horses  liitched 
to  it.  No  amount  of  persuasion  could 
change  their  minds.  Every  detail  about 
the  wagon  had  to  be  worked  out,  for  it 
was  not  a  question  of  expense  with 
them.  They  wanted  that  and  nothing 
else.  In  a  case  of  that  kind,  no  mat- 
ter how  much  the  sensibilities  of  tlie 
designer  may  be  hurt,  there  is  notliing

A.  C.  BROWN, 

LARGE  GREENHOUSES 

to  do  but  give  them  what  they  want, 
and  in  such  cases  the  writer  has  found 
that  the  more  attention  paid  to  de- 
tails the  more  pleased  the  buyers  will 
be  with  the  design. 

In  my  experience  I  have  found  that 
these  are  not  the  only  persons  whose 
whims  have  to  be  catered  to.  For  in- 
stance, Mary  Johnston  told  me  of  a  case 
in  which  a  woman  had  lost  a  child 
through  an  accident.  The  heartbroken 
mother  could  think  of  nothing  but  the 
child  at  play  in  a  field  of  daisies  at  their 
country  home,  it  being  the  season  when 
these  flowers  were  at  their  height.  Noth- 
ing would  do  for  her  but  a  pall  of  dai- 
sies, and  her  idea  was  to  have  it  made 
as  though  the  child  were  at  play  and 
just  scattered  an  armful  of  daisies  over 
the  green.  Mrs.  Johnston  said  it  made 
a  beautiful  pall. 

Another  unicjue  pall  was  made  by 
Miss  Cook.  A  customer's  favorite  flow- 
ers had  lieen  cornflowers,  and  the  family 
would  have  notliing  but  a  pall  of  these. 
Miss  Cook  assured  me  that  it  was  a 
most  liandsome  piece,  with  a  cluster  of 
White  Killarneys  in  the  center  to  re- 
Ywvc  the  intense  blue. 

Often  the  florist  will  be  called  to  help 
the  1)eieavtMl  to  deci<le  on  tlie  funeral 
flowers  for  the  deceased,  who  was  an  old 
customer.  The  florist  will  remember, 
no  doubt,  some  eccentricity  of  the  de- 
])arte(l  regarding  flowers,  and  he  should 
make  this  the  basis  of  his  suggestions. 
Little  tilings  fuch  as  tliese  go  to  make 
the  good  florist,  and  it  is  good  for  the 
florist  to  get  out  of  the  beaten  path.

Seed  Trade  News 


AMEBICAN   SEED   TRADE  ASSOCIATION. 

President,  F.  W.  Bolgiano,  Washington,  D.  C. ; 
Secretary-Treasurer,   C.  E.  Kendel,  Cleveland,  O. 

J.  C.  KoBiNSON,  of  the  Eobinson  Seed 
Co.,  Waterloo,  Neb.,  spent  his  vacation 
at  Akeley,  Minn. 

Eecord  is  made  under  "Obituary"  of 
the  death  last  week  of  Ludwig  Teweles, 
of  Milwaukee,  Wis. 

HoLLAXD  exporters  now  make  the  un- 
qualified statement  that  bulbs  will  be 
shipped  to  America  as  usual  this  season. 

We  are  threatened  with  meatless  days 
to  follow  the  whcatless  meals  and  there 
are  reports  that  almost  beetless  days  are 
in  prospect. 

Now  that  seed  selling  has  ceased  for 
the  season,  the  trade  is  taking  hold  of 
the  many  problems  connected  with  next 
year's  supply.  Seed  stocks  never  have 
been  so  severely  depleted,  nor  sources  of 
supply  so  restricted. 

The  a.  a.  Berry  Seed  Co.,  Clarinda, 
la.,  now  is  classed  as  a  million  dollar 
concern,  the  sales  for  last  season  having 
run  into  seven  figures.  At  the  stock- 
holders '  meeting  July  10  steps  were  taken 
to  increase  the  capital  stock  from  $300,- 
000  to  $500,000. 

Articles  of  incorporation  for  the 
Cache  Valley  Seed  Co.,  of  Smithficld, 
Utah,  providing  for  an  authorized  capital 
stock  of  $25,000,  have  been  filed  with  the 
secretary  of  state  by  J.  C.  McCann,  presi- 
dent; W.  H.  Smith,  vice-president;  R.  H. 
Smith,  secretary-treasurer. 

There  will  be  considerable  difference 
in  the  cost  of  Japanese  bulbs  this  season, 
due  to  differences  in  the  cost  of  freight. 
Those  who  some  time  ago  contracted  for 
steamer  space  will  save  money  by  it.  It 
is  said  the  present  rate  is  four  times  what 
large  shippers  paid  before  the  war. 

A  HEAVY  hail  storm  visited  Eocky 
Ford,  L>olu.,  July  3.  In  the  Arkansas  val- 
ley, where  is  planted  a  large  acreage  of 
seed  crops,  the  storm  did  heavy  damage. 
Cucumbers  and  melons  were  especially 
hard  hit.  Some  garden  beans  also  were 
damaged.  As  a  result  of  the  storm  the 
supply  of  seeds  from  this  district  will 
be   short. 

There  seems  to  be  considerable  di- 
versity of  opinion  as  to  the  condition  of 
jieas  in  Wisconsin.  They  were  reported 
good  in  late  June,  but  last  week  a  well 
known  seedsman  was  quoted  as  having 
said  July  6  that  he  had  talked  to  many 
canners,  none  of  whom  expected  over 
two-thirds  of  a  crop,  most  of  them  much 
less.  But  July  13  the  IT.  S.  Bureau  of 
Crop  Estimates  issued  a  report  of  condi- 
tion as  of  July  1,  putting  the  Wisconsin 
pea  crop  at  eighty-four  per  cent,  against 
sixty-eight  a  year  ago.  The  Michigan 
canners'  pea  crop  is  put  at  eighty-two 
per  cent,  against  seventy  a  year  ago.  The 
correspondents  were  asked  to  estimate  on 
the  basis  of  100  representing  normal.

W.  A.  Wheeler  Explains  Aims. 

Speaking  before  the  annual  conven- 
tion of  the  American  Seed  Trade  Associ- 
ation at  Detroit  June  19  on  "Coopera- 
tion Between  Seedsmen  and  the  IT.  S. 
I^epartment  of  Agriculture,"  W.  A. 
Wheeler,  specialist  in  seed  marketing 
lor  the  Bureau  of  Markets  of  the  de- 
y'.irtmeut,  explained  the  working  of  tlie 
•'Ureau,  which  became  known  by  its 
Jiresent  name  July  L 

During  the  last  year  some  construc- 
tive work  in  seed  marketing  had  been 
"udertaken  by  the  bureau,  Mr.  Wheeler 
iiid.  Field  studies  of  tlic  marketing 
'■t'  grass  and  clover  seeds  had  been 
'iiade  and  it  was  hoped  that  the  results 
"'•'ould  be  available  for  publication  in 
lie  near  future.  It  is  planned  to  inau- 
';urate  a  seed  and  hay  market  reporting 
'ervice,so  that  reliable  information  rela- 
tive to  the  surplus  of  grain,  seeds  and 
■'■iy  may  be  available  at  all  times.

ing  a  market  for  seed,  will  be  of  ines- 
timable value  to  seed  growers,  dealers 
and  consumers,"  declared  Mr.  Wheeler. 
"This  agency  could  be  made  an  ef- 
fective instrument  in  securing  the  dis- 
tribution and  utilization  of  the  product 
of  improved  varieties  and  prevent  their 
use  in  industrial  ways  when  required 
for  seed  purposes. 

Maxket  Reporting  Service, 

"In  the  market  reporting  service 
contemplated,  the  information  used  in 
compiling  the  weekly  or  biweekly  re- 
ports would  be  obtained  from  voluntary 
market  reporters,  among  the  seed  and 
grain  trade  and  traveling  assistants  in 
marketing,  who  would  be  employees  of 
the  Department  of  Agriculture.  The 
voluntary  reporters  would  consist  of 
those  correspondents  located  in  each 
county  who  can  report  with  reference 
to  conditions  in  the  county  in  which 
they  are  located,  and  other  correspond- 
ents wlio  can  report  conditions  over 
large  areas.  The  single  county  cor- 
resjjondents  would  be  selected  from 
country  dealers  and  shippers,  county 
agents,  and  others  who  may  be  suitable 
and  available;  the  correspondents  re- 
porting for  several  counties  will  be 
chosen  from  large  shippers,  jobbers  and 
others. 

"In  addition  to  the  voluntary  cor- 
respondents, there  will  be  others  sp'^- 
cially  selected  from  the  important 
marketing  and  production  centers. 
They  will  be  paid  for  their  services,  to 
make  more  comprehensive  reports  on

RANDO  BRAND 

OWAWtUM  BUtB 


SPECIAL  TRIAL  OFFER 


~        Field  of  Rando  Brand  Giganteum,  just  after  flowering.    Note  our  sign. 


WHY  THIS  UNUSUAL  ACTION 
IS  TAKEN  AT  THIS  TIME 


Randall  Japanese  Lily  Bulbs  are  superior 
and  positively  will  produce.  They  are  the 
select  product  of  Japanese  bulb-growing  in- 
dustry, and  are  sold  through  a  reputation  of 
quality.  We  are  not  only  willing  to  back  up 
this  assertion,  but  we  are  going  to  do  so  right 
here  and  now. 

Practically  every  dealer  who  has  bulbs  to 
sell  has  told  you  they  are  the  best.  Sold  only 
on  quality,  not  price.  They  know  you  realize 
that  an  inferior  bulb  is  a  poor  investment  at 
any  price.  But  you  cannot  know  what  the 
bulbs  are  until  you  have  bought  them. 


Therefore  we  are  going  to  give  you  the  opportunity  of  knowing  exactly  what  our  bulbs  are  like, 
and  prove  to  you  before  you  place  your  fall  order  that  our  claim  of  quality  is  justified. 


I  THE  OFFER 

=     FOR  IMMEDIATE  DELIVERY 


We  have  only  200  cases  of  cold  storage  Lily 
Bulbs  on  hand  and  are,  therefore,  obliged  to 
limit  our  offer  to  any  one  grower  to  not  more 
than  5  cases,  so  that  a  larger  number  may 
take  advantage  of  the  offer. 

These  bulbs  are  7/9  Giganteum.  Packed  800 
to  the  case,  and  ready  for  immediate  delivery. 

Only  1  to  5  cases  to  the  customer  and  orders 
taken  subject  to  stock  unsold.

Americans  will  probably  follow  the  European 
custom  of  wearing  Pansies  to  show  that  the  wearer 
has  friends  at  the  front.  This  will  mean  a  big  de- 
mand for  plants.  Be  prepared  to  get  your  share  of 
the  business  by  sowing  Toole's  Pansy  seed  now.

is  American  grown,  and  is  better  than  imported 
seed.  Repeated  tests  have  proved  that  it  germi- 
nates better,  the  plants  are  more  vigorous,  the 
flowers  are  larger  and  more  beautiful.  The  seed- 
pods  are  hand-picked  from  plants  selected  for  size 
and  beauty  of  flower.  Send  your  order  direct  at 
these  prices : 

Packet,  25c;  Trade  packet  of  1000  seeds,  40c; 
yi  ounce,  90c;  -'-4  ounce,  $1.25;  1  ounce,  $5.00. 

Toole's  Giant  Prize  Strain  can  be  furnished  in 
the  following  mixtures:— Browns,  Reds,  Yellows, 
Blues,  Black  and  White.  We  can  also  furnish  seed 
of  Masterpiece  and  the  fancy  sports,  such  as  Fire

or  as  soon  as  the  snow  Is  oft  the  ground,  many  times  having  four  or  five  large  flowers 
to  a  plant,  when  all  other  Pansles  are  only  showing  buds.  The  flowers  are  large,  well 
formed  and  fragrant.

foliage  on  heavy  stems,  7  or  8  in.  long,  in  the  most  graceful  man-

spotted  flowers  on  long,  vigorous  stalks  surmount  the  foliage  In  the 
most  graceful  manner,  are  of  enormous  size,  perfectly  round  and 
of  unusual  substance.  The  Individual  petals  are  very  broad  and 
cover  each  other  In  such  a  manner  as  to  make  the  flowers  appear 
almost  double,  the  border  of  every  petal  being  conspicuously  curled.

round  shape.

tion  received  would  be  tabulated  in  a 
district  office  and  distributed  immedi- 
ately to  those  interested  in  the  same 
district  or  in  other  districts,  so  that 
the  information  would  be  available  im- 
mediately. Telegraphic  reports  would 
be  received  from  the  principal  markets, 
so  that  the  latest  information  would  be 
had  from  such  sources.  It  is  contem- 
plated that  at  the  end  of  each  montli 
a  complete  tabulation  of  the  reports 
from  all  districts  for  the  month  would 
be  prepared  at  Washinjjton,  and  be 
available  for  j^fcnoral   distribution. 

"Careful  studies  and  investigations 
would  be  made  through  reports  from 
correspondents  in  various  districts  as 
to  supplies,  requirements  and  prices. 
An  endeavor  would  be  made  to  ascer- 
tain and  correct  if  possible  any  inequali- 
ties in  prices  that  may  exist  in  certain 
commodities,  thereby  bringing  about  a 
more  equitable  distribution  of  profits 
for   those   commodities. 

"The  value  of  this  service  depends 
to  a  large  extent  on  the  cooperation  be- 
tween seedsmen  and  the  department  in 
obtaining  accurate  and  reliable  infor- 
mation. Tlic  agencies  which  cooperate 
in  giving  the  greatest  service  would 
naturally  be  the  ones  to  be  benefited  in 
the  greatest  measure  by  the  market  re- 
porting service.  In  reality  the  depart- 
ment would  be  acting  as  a  disinterested 
clearing  house  for  market  information 
on  the  commodities  covered.  The  re- 
ports of  individual  dealers  would,  of 
course,  be  kept  strictly  confidential  and 
any  information  received  from  them 
would  be  used  only  in  a  general  way  in 
the  tabulation  of  reports  of  totals  for 
localities  or  districts,  and  would  never 
be  disclosed  as  to  source  or  origin."

Iiouisvllle,  Ky. — Bruno  W.  Alberts  is 
one  of  the  numerous  class  of  florists  who 
began  as  amateurs.  His  specialty  is 
orchids  and  he  has  so  increased  his  stock 
of  plants  that  he  will  have  considerable 
quantities  to  wholesale  this  season. 

Clyde,  O. — Arthur  Doebel,  w:o  re 
oently  sold  his  jjreenhouse  estaolisii- 
mont  at  Xo^^valk.  O.,  has  purchased  the 
range  and  business  of  the  Clyde  Floral 
Co.  and  will  continue  under  the  lirm 
name  of  Arthur  Doebel  &  Sons.  The 
Clyde  range  consists  of  16,000  feet  of 
glass  and  seven  and  one-half  acres  of 
land.  Mr.  Doebel  now  has  25,000  gera- 
niums in  the  field. 

Terre  Haute,  Ind. — While  the  back- 
ward spring  in  many  ways  upset  the 
program  of  things,  it  was  a  good  thing 
in  one  respect,  say  F.  Wunker  &  Sons, 
in  that  it  made  the  planting  out  busi- 
ness good  throughout  June,  a  month 
during  which  there  usually  is  plenty  of 
time.  The  growers  here  now  are  busily 
engaged  with  the  new  carnation  and 
mum  plants,  and  are  plugging  up  the 
holes  left  by  a  hail  storm  in  the  spring. 
Tlie  cost  of  coal  is  worrying,  but  most 
of  the  florists  expect  to  survive  the  bills.

JULT    IJ,    1917. 


Pacific  Coast  Department~1$ 


A  REPORT  of  the  fifteenth  annual  con- 
vention of  the  Pacific  Coast  Association 
of  Nurserymen,  held  at  Tacoma,  Wash., 
July  11  to  13,  will  be  found  in  the 
Nursery  Department  of  this  issue. 


LOS  ANGELES,  CAL. 


The  Market. 

It  was  another  quiet  week,  with  prac- 
tically nothing  but  funeral  work  to  clean 
up  the  stock.  The  shipping  business  has 
been  better,  but  it  would  have  been 
lieavier  had  good  shipping  stock  been 
obtainable.  As  it  is,  many  complaints 
are  made. 

Carnations  remain  poor,  and  roses  are 
of  fair  quality  only.  Gladioli  are  fine 
and  ship  well.  Centaureas  are  good,  but 
sweet  peas  are  poor.  Cornflowers  of 
satisfactory  quality  may  be  had;  asters 
ar6  of  medium  grade.  Dahlias  are  ar- 
riving more  plentifully  and  have  im- 
j/roved  in  quality.  Orchids  and  valley 
are  scarce. 

Various  Notes. 

S.  Murata  &  Co.  received  a  carload 
of  sphagnum  moss  this  week  from  Wis- 
consin, the  first  to  arrive  in  Los  An- 
geles this  season.  On  account  of  the 
.scarcity  and  the  consequent  high  prices 
of  this  article,  green  moss  has  been  sell- 
ing well,  but  the  bog  moss  is  more 
popular  with  the  florists  and  there- 
fore is  moving  freely.  The  firm  also 
reports  the  arrival  of  the  new  crop  of 
field  carnations. 

Frank  W.  Nelson,  of  the  California 
Cut  Flower  Co.,  returned  from  his  east- 
ern trip  July  3.  He  reports  an  inter- 
esting time  on  his  journey,  but  on  the 
way  home  he  was  held  up  by  a  big  wash- 
out on  the  Denver  &  Eio  Grande.  His 
mother,  whom  he  hardly  expected  to  see 
iilive,  fortunatelv  has  recovered  her 
lioalth. 

O.  M.  Morris,  of  the  Morris  &  Snow 
Seed  Co.,  and  a  party  of  friends  left 
July  6  for  a  camping  trip  to  Bear  val- 
ley, going  by  way  of  the  desert.  This 
is  an  old  stamping  ground  of  Mr.  Morris, 
who  likes  to  get  back  to  his  old  haunts. 
lie  leaves  behind  an  able  lieutenant  in 
his  son,  Albert.  Since  recovering  from 
the  fire  many  improvements  have  been 
made  in  the  store  and  fixtures,  and  the 
establishment  now  is  one  of  the  best  and 
most  up-to-date  in  the  city. 

Arthur  Cleave,  proprietor  of  Gleave's 
Flower  Shop,  Santa  Barbara,  is  paying 
us  a  visit  this  week.  He  reports  stock 
scarce  on  account  of  the  hot  weather  and 
tlie  recent  brush  and  forest  fires,  which 
have  decimated  hundreds  of  acres  of 
forest  and  other  plantings  there  and  in 
Ventura  county.  Business  is  quiet,  says 
Mr.  Gleave,  but  tliis  is  to  be  expected  at 
this  time. 

W.  J.  Treadup,  of  the  A.  L.  Randall 
Co.,  Chicago,  is  in  town  calling  on  the 
trade. 

Fred  Sperry,  of  the  L.  A.  Floral  Co., 
has  returned  from  a  trip  to  Wheeler's 
springs. 

J.  Dioterich  is  busy  repairing  the 
greenhouses  at  Montebello.  A  good 
deal  of  the  piping  in  the  heating  system 
has  to  be  renewed  and  the  pipe  sup- 
ports repaired.  The  whole  place  will  be 
put   in   thorough   running   order   during 


the  summer  and  will  be  ready  for  next 
season's  work. 

The  Bauer  Pottery  Co.  has  purchased 
the  entire  stock  of  pots  of  the  Standard 
Pottery,  and  the  latter  concern  will 
cease  to  make  flower  pots  after  this 
date.  The  Bauer  people  are  considering 
the  purchase  of  the  pot-making  machin- 
ery of  the  Standard  Pottery. 

W.  W.  Felgate,  of  Sierra  Madre,  sent 
a  small  but  choice  collection  of  vege- 
tables and  fruit  to  the  meeting  of  the 
Los  Angeles  County  Horticultural  So- 
ciety July  11,  at  which  President  James 
Taylor  read  a  paper  on  vegetable  grow- 
ing. 

Robert  Newcomb,  of  the  American 
Bulb  Co.,  Chicago  has  been  suffering 
from  a  severe  cold,  but  stuck  to  busi- 
ness gamely.  He  reports  a  good  call  for 
baskets. 

A.  J.  Verhelle,  of  the  Kentia  Nurs- 
eries, Santa  Barbara,  is  in  town  for  a 
few  days  calling  on  the  trade.  He  drove 
down  and  is  using  his  machine  to  get 
around  with.  Business  has  been  excel- 
lent, he  says.  H.  R.  Richards. 


SPOKANE,  WASH. 


Hot  weather  has  brought  the  usual 
condition  of  medium  and  poor  stock,  but 
as  business  most  of  the  time  simply 
"isn't,"  it  does  not  seem  to  matter 
much  what  tlie  quality  of  stock  is. 
Roses  are  not  plentiful  and  the  quality  is 
only  fair.  Carnations  are  generally  poor 
in  quality,  though  markedly  plentiful. 
Good  sweet  peas  arrive  from  the  out- 
door growers. 

July  weddings  have  been  many  and 
have  supplied  the  occasions  for  some 
original  decorations.  During  the  last 
week  the  Spokane  Florist  Co.  and 
Eugene's  Flower  Shop  have  had  elabo- 
rate creations  for  society  nuptials. 

W.  S.  Hoyt  and  Samuel  Younkin  were 


partners  in  an  auto  trip  through  the 
southern  part  of  the  state  last  wetu. 
They  report  extremely  dry  conditions  ui 
the  regions  visited,  with  the  crops  bacily 
in  need  of  rain. 

Under  the  skillful  hand  of  Alfr  (1 
Jacobson  the  new  range  of  the  H.  !,. 
Olsson  Co.,  Inc.,  is  rapidly  nearing  co:  i- 
pletion.  No  finer  piece  of  greenhou  ,e 
building  can  be  found  in  this  secticn. 
The  range  consists  of  two  houses,  ea  !i 
29x200,  and  one  propagating  house  l.".\ 
90.  Another  house  similar  to  the  proj.  ■ 
gating  house  will  be  constructed  later  ].\ 
the  fall.  Carnation  planting  will  begin 
in  the  new  houses  this  week. 

Frank  Nawrochi,  who  only  a  f c  v 
weeks  ago  accepted  a  position  with  tlie 
Martin  &  Forbes  Co.,  of  Portland,  w;;i 
called  back  to  this  city  by  a  message 
from  his  wife,  telling  him  that  their 
home  here  had  been  burned  to  the 
ground,  a  complete  loss.  No  one  was  nt 
home  at  the  time  of  the  fire.  Mr.  Naw- 
rochi left  for  Portland  with  his  family 
after  spending  a  few  days  here  arrang- 
ing business  affairs. 

E.  Stapleton  and  family  have  removed 
to  Duluth,  Minn.,  wliere  Mr.  Stapleton 
has  a  position  as  designer  with  the 
Duluth  Floral  Co. 

E.  A.  Hedger,  generally  known  to  the 
trade  as  "Ted,"  acquired  a  son-in-law 
last  week  when  his  daughter,  Luella, 
was  married  to  C.  W.  Buchanan.

July  usually  is  the  quietest  month  of 
the  year,  and  this  year  probably  will 
be  no  exception  to  the  rule,  although  the 
midsummer  dullness  does  not  seem  to  be 
so  acute  as  in  previous  years,  judging 
from  the  light  accumulations   of  stock

at  the  wliolesale  houses  from  day  to 
day.  So  far  the  number  of  weddings 
is  j;:reatly  in  excess  of  those  of  last 
July  and  many  orders  have  been  booked 
for  the  remainder  of  the  month.  The 
feature  of  last  week's  business  was  fu- 
neral work,  however. 

There  has  been  little  change  in  the 
stock  situation  since  the  last  report. 
More  first-class  roses  could  be  used,  al- 
thoufih  the  average  quality  is  well  up  to 
exjicetations,  considering  "the  season  of 
tlic  year.  American  Beauties  are  almost 
unobtainable,  either  good  or  bad.  Other 
varieties  of  roses  show  the  effects  of 
the  hot  weather.  Ulrich  Brunner  seems 
to  be  holding  its  own  comparativelv 
wcll;  also  Eussell.  Carnations  have  im- 
rroved  in  quality,  but  there  is  little 
demand  for  them.  The  first  crop  of  gla- 
dioli will  soon  be  over.  They  are  fea- 
tured extensively  and  quantities  of 
them  find  an  outlet.  Their  principal 
rival  is  giant  zinnias,  which  meet  witli 
ffroat  popularity.  The  flowers  are  splen- 
did this  year;  some  of  the  florists  claim 
they  are  the  best  ever  seen  here. 

The  cut  of  dahlias  is  increasing  daily. 
Orchids  are  scarce  and  valley  also  is  on 
tlic  short  side  of  the  market.  A  limited 
quantity  of  indoor  chrysanthemums 
cleans  up  without  much  difficulty, 
tliongh  it  cannot  be  said  they  are  great- 
ly sought  after.  Lilium  auratum  has  a 
strong  demand  and  a  nice  cut  of 
I'librum  lilies  is  expected  in  a  week  or 
ten  days.  A  few  celosias  are  arriving, 
'Jilt  the  color  of  the  flowers  as  vet  is 
"'Jt  good.

about  all  he  had  this  season.  He  com- 
ments upon  the  unusually  close  clean-up 
at  the  market  each  day  for  this  time  of 
the  year,  which  leads  him  to  believe 
that  the  shipping  business  is  active  and 
that  there  is  a  good  city  trade. 

The  Francis  Floral  Co.  had  the  deco- 
rative work  at  the  Fairmont  hotel  re- 
cently for  the  big  Eed  Cross  celebra- 
tion. The  company's  services  were  ren- 
dered gratis  for  the  good  of  the  cause. 
This  firm  reports  more  weddings  than 
usual  for  July. 

As  soon  as  his  employees  have  taken 
their  vacations,  which  will  be  by  the 
latter  part  of  July,  Julius  Eppstein,  who

There  was  an  abundance  of  stock  in 
the  market  last  week,  but  it  was  not  of 
the  best  quality.  Such  annuals  as  gode- 
tias,  zinnias  and  salpiglossis  are  in  evi- 
dence and  the  public  is  beginning  to  ap- 
preciate them.  Business  improved  last 
week,  there  being  considerable  funeral 
and  social  work.  The  convention  of  the 
National  Educational  Association  helped 
business  somewhat.

The  Market. 

Favorable  weather  has  brought  an 
abundance  of  outdoor  stock.  Sweet 
peas  are  coming  in  and  are  of  good 
color,  with  long  stems.  Roses  are  over- 
plentiful  and  are  taking  the  place  of 
indoor  stock  for  funeral  and  all  kinds 
of  made-up  work.  Canterbury  bells  are 
almost  off  the  market.  Delphinium  is 
also  on  the  decline.  Bachelor's  buttons 
are  plentiful  and  meet  a  good  demand. 
Peonies  are  off  the  market.  Dahlias  are 
just  showing  color.  Business  in  gen- 
eral has  kept  up  beyond  expectation  for 
this  season,  weddings  and  social  affairs 
being  responsible. 

Varioiis  Notes. 

The  Hayden-Watson  Co.  received  the 
order  for  the  Weyerhauser  wedding 
decoration  and  bouquets.  This  was  one 
of  the  smartest  affairs  of  the  season. 
The  decoration  was  carried  out  in  pink 
and  white  Canterbury  bells,  phloxes, 
delphiniums  and  gypsophilas.  The 
bride's  bouquet  was  of  Shasta  daisies 
and  maidenliair,  with  a  shower  of  the 
same. 

This  year's  dahlia  show  will  be  held 
during  the  first  part  of  September,  the 
date  not  having  been  fixed  definitely 
at  the  last  meeting  of  the  Dahlia  So- 
ciety. All  proceeds  above  expenses 
will  go  to  the  Red  Cross.  The  displays

large  and  one  for  small  growers.   Among

judged  in  the  same  class  with  any  other  colored  Freesia.  It  stands  alone  for 
size,  strength,  beauty  and  fragrance.  The  flowers  are  very  large,  with  long, 
heavy  stems  with  foliage  reaching  well  up  the  stems,  and  are  highly  fragrant. 

It  is  a  Freesia  that  will  stand  the  test  of  time  and  will  be  grown  by  all 
florists  when  stock  can  be  offered  at  commercial  prices.  Was  awarded  a  Cer- 
tificate of  Merit  at  the  Pasadena  Flower  Show. 

Stock  is  limited;  send  in  your  orders  as  soon  as  possible.  Is  offered  in  two  shades  of 
color,  a  bluish  lavender  and  a  reddish  lavender.  Only  good  si/ed.  flowering  bulbs  are 
offered.  PRICE:    Per  dozen,  $3.50;    per  lOO,  $20.00. 

Cash  with  order.  Sent  postpaid.  July  delivery.

Portland  was  selected  as  the  place  of 
meeting  in   1918. 

A  New  Disease  of  Roses. 

Bringing  to  Tacoma  some  forty  promi- 
nent nurserymen  of  California,  Wash- 
ington, Oregon,  Idaho,  Montana  and 
British  Columbia,  the  convention  was 
one  of  much  interest.  The  sessions 
all  were  open  to  the  public  and  at- 
tendance was  encouraged,  with  the  idea 
of  educating  the  public  in  the  problems 
of  the  trade  and  in  the  proper  plant- 
ing and  care  of  stock. 

Among  those  present  was  J.  A.  Bal- 
mer,  of  Cle  Elum,  Wash.,  who  called 
attention  to  a  new  disease  of  roses  tliat 
came  to  him  on  a  shipment  from  a  Cali- 
fornia rose  grower  now  out  of  busi- 
ness. Hard,  knot-like  bunches  appeared, 
he  said,  wlierever  a  growth  was  cut  and 
also  on  the  roots,  some  of  tliem  attain- 
ing the  size  of  a  walnut.  The  matter 
was  regarded  as  so  serious  that  a  spe- 
cial committee  was  appointed  to  deal 
with  it,  consisting  of  M.  McDonald,  of 
Orenco,  Ore.;  George  C.  Eoeding,  of 
Fresno,  Cal.;  J.  A.  Balmer,  of  Cle  Elum, 
Wash.,  and  R.  A.  Stadllialter,  of  Seat- 
tle, W^ash. 

Reports  of  the  Year. 

The  first  session,  following  an  ad- 
dress of  welcome  by  A.  B.  Howe,  presi- 
dent of  the  Commercial  Club,  where  the 
meetings  were  held,  was  devoted  to  re- 
ports of  officers  and  committees,  in  the 
following  order:

Now  for  Business 

July  and  August  are  SNAPDRAGON  months.  If  fall 
blooms  are  wanted,  plants  must  be  benched  during  th?se 
months.  Likewise,  seed  must  be  sown  now  if  plants  ire 
wanted  to  follow  mums.    So  get  busy  and  have  a 

HOUSE  OF  SNAPDRAGON 

You  are  sure  of  more  money  to  the  square  foot  by  using 
snapdragon  than  from  any  plant  you  can  grow.  They  are  e  sy 
to  do,  easy  to  sell  and  a  pleasure  from  start  to  finish. 

Fine  plants,  for  immediate  shipment,  of  Silver  Pink,  Nelrc^se, 
White  and  Yellow,  $6.00  per  100;  $50.00  per  1000. 

Seed  of  our  famous  Silver  Pink,  $1.00  per  pkt.;  3  for  $2.  0;

and  Fancy  Mixed,  35c  per  pkt.;  3  for  $1.00.  Free  cultural  direc- 
tions.   All  orders  cash. 

To  the  hustling  florist  there  is  great  hope.    Get  busy.

Greenhouse  Heating. 

Subscribers  are  invited  to  write  the 
Editor  of  this  Department  with  regard  to 
any  details  of  greenhouse  heating  that 
are  not  understood.  But  please  do  not 
ask  The  Eeview  to  make  a  choice  of  ap- 
paratus for  you.  The  greenhouse  heating 
equipment  advertised  in  this  paper  is,  we 
believe,  the  best  for  the  trade  to  buy, 
and  each  article  the  best  in  the  special 
field  of  its  adaptation. 


STORE    COAL,    INSULL    URGES. 

Consumers  of  fuel  continue  to  be 
warned  that  unless  large  quantities  of 
coal  are  purchased  and  stored  during 
the  summer  months  there  will  be  a 
shortage  when  the  demand  becomes 
greater  in  the  fall,  the  prediction  be- 
ing that  lack  of  maximum  production 
during  the  next  two  months  will  make 
it  impossible  to  produce  the  coal  need- 
ed to  supply  the  demand  later. 

Following  a  meeting  with  a  number 
of  Illinois  coal  mine  operators  July  14, 
Samuel  InsuU,  of  Chicago,  chairman  of 
the  Illinois  Council  of  Defense,  a  body 
of  business  men  appointed  by  Governor 
Lowden  to  act  in  conjunction  with  the 
National  Council  of  Defense,  issued  a 
warning  to  coal  consumers  that  there  is 
liable  to  be  a  famine  this  fall  unless  the 
Illinois  mines  are  kept  Operating  at 
capacity.  He  urged  consumers  to  buy 
and  store  coal  now. 


B° 


WESTERN  COAL  FREIGHT  RAISED. 

Tlie  Interstate  Commerce  Commission, 
which  allowed  the  eastern  railroads  to 
increase  rates  on  coal  15  cents  per  ton 
July  1,  entered  an  order  July  10  allow- 
ing a  similar  increase  by  the  railroads 
in  the  western  district  to  take  effect 
July  15. 

This  action  means  that  florists  west 
of  the  Mississippi  river  will  be  required 
to  pay  an  additional  15  cents  per  ton 
for  coal  shipped  after  July  15. 


THE  PRICE  OF  COAL. 

Gov.  Goodrich,  of  Indiana,  this  week 
showed  the  Interstate  Commerce  Com- 
mittee of  the  Senate  that  the  price  of 
coal  at  the  mine  recently  agreed  on  by 
the  coal  operators  and  the  Peabody  com- 
mittee of  the  Council  of  National  De- 
fense is  nearly   100  per  cent  too  high. 

The  Indiana  governor  practically  put 
it  up  to  Congress  to  enact  laws  fixing 
the  price  of  coal  or  to  give  some  com- 
mission that  authority,  saying  that  if 
Congress  did  not  do  so  he  would  call  a 
special  session  of  the  Indiana  legisla- 
ture to  regulate  coal  prices  -i«  his  state. 

After  scoring  the  price  as  agreed  on 
by  the  operators  and  the  Peabody  com- 
mittee, Gov.  Goodrich  read  letters  into 
the  record  from  various  Indiana  manu- 
facturers showing  that  the  Peabody 
agreement  had  caused  coal  prices  to  go 
up  instead  of  down  in  Indiana. 

Tlie  same  condition  exists  elsewhere. 
While  consumers  are  being  urged  to  buy

Conserve  the  National  Resources — Eliminate  Waste  in  Your  Business. 
Begin  Now  to  Do  Your  Share— It  Will  Help  You  and  Others. 

One  of  the  biggest  items  of  expense  iji  the  greenhouse  business  is  the 
heating  question.  Why  then  for  fancy's  sake  do  you  sit  silently  by  and 
watch  the  unnecessary  losses  of  fuel  go  on  day  by  day  ? 

IT  IS  YOUR  MONEY  THAT  IS  LOST-THE  WASTE 
HARMS  EVERYONE.      STOP !      STOP ! !      STOP  ! ! ! 

Many  practical  growers  have  solved  this  vital  question.  YOU  CAN 
DO  SO  TOO.  The  remedy  is  simple.  GET  A  KROESCHELL-the  boiler 
of  unequaled  fuel  economy— it  will  pay  you  well. 

Kroeschell  Greenhouse  Boilers  are  credited  with  many  remarkable 
greenhouse  heating  records.  Time  and  again  they  have  proven  to  be  the 
quickest  water  heaters  and  steam  generators  in  the  world.  Any  kind  of 
fuel  will  do  the  work.    They  are  acknowledged  the  best  by  test  since  1879.

A  Record  for  the  Winter  of  1916-1917 

Mr.  Wendel  is  surely  nleased  with  his  No.  14  Kroeschell  Boiler— it  is  a 
PEACH,  that  is  all  there  is  to  it.  We  surely  had  some  winter,  which  we  all 
know. 

Our  houses  have  never  been  below  62*^,  and  it  was  not  necessary  to  force 
our  boiler.    Best  of  all,  we  saved  two  carloads  of  coal  over  a  year  ago.

No  Heat  Lost  With  the  Kroeschell 

The  two  No.  46  Kroeschell  Water  Tube  Steam  Boilers  which  you  furnished 
for  our  new  plant  surely  are  (riving  us  satisfactory  service.  These  boilers  are 
internally  fired,  and  ECONOMICAL  fuel  burners,  being  very  fast  steamers. 
With  baffle  arrangement  such  as  you  have,  it  consumes  all  the  heat  cast  from 
the  combustion  chamber  instead  of  letting  it  out  of  stack.

We  have  just  placed  No.  14  Boiler  purchased  of  you.  This  takes  the  place 
of  two  cast  iron  boilers  and  one  60  H.  P.  tubular  boiler.  As  we  were  the  first 
to  install  one  of  your  boilers  on  Long  Island,  it  might  interest  you  to  know  that 
we  want  no  other  kind  on  our  place.  This  makes  three  we  have,  and  they  do 
their  work  economically  and  are  on  the  job  all  the  time.  You  may  use  "this

Kroeschell  Uses  Only  One-half  the  Coal 

Have  taken  out  return  tubular  boiler  which  used  one-half  more  coal  than 
the  Kroeschell  Boiler— it  is  so  easy  to  regulate  that  in  a  few  minutes  I  can

The  Burnham  Tubular  Boiler 

Has  no  Dead  Fire  Walls 

—It  Reduces  Smoke— 

Grates  Shake  in  Four  Sections 


iM) 


EVERY  part  of  the  Burnham  Tubular  that 
holds  the  fire ;  or  through  which  the 
heated  gases  pass,  is  water  surrounded.  In 
this  particular,  it  is  exactly  like  the  Scotch 
Marine  Boilers,  so  long  famous  for  their  economy. 

Unlike  the  marine  boiler,  however,  it  has  a 
large  four  section  grate,  making  fire  cleaning 
thorough  and  easy. 

This  four  section  arrangement  of  the  grate, 
is  both  a  convenience  and  economy  advantage 
when  fine  coal  is  used,  as  the  fire  can  be  cleaned 
in  sections;  the  live  coal  being  pulled  into  one 
part,  while  the  other  part  is  dumped. 

Don't  lose  sight  of  the  fact  that  the  com- 
bustion chamber  at  the  rear  of  the  boiler  into 
which  the  two  large  tubes  lead,  and  from  which 


the  4  inch  tubes  leave,  is  completely  water 
surrounded. 

This  is  not  so  with  most  tubular  boilers. 
As  a  result,  the  heat  is  given  off  directly  into 
the  air  instead  of  being  absorbed  by  the  water 

Such  boilers  also  generally  have  clean  out 
doors  at  the  back  of  this  combustion  chamber, 
which  soon  warp  and  allow  cold  air  leaks, 
causing  the  cooling  of  the  ^ases. 

The  clean  out  door  on  the  Burnham  is  at 
the  bottom  (see  number  6).  where  it  is  protected 
from  the  direct  heat  and  burning  gases. 

The  Burnham  is  made  for  water  or  steam; 
any  size,  high  or  low  pressure.  It  is  made  in 
our  factory  at  Geneva,  X.  V.

now  and  keep  the  mines  busy  in  sum- 
mer, it  is  playing  directly  into  the  hands 
of  the  mine  owners,  as  present  prices 
for  coal  at  the  mine  mouth  are  the  high- 
est ever  known,  fixed  there  with  what 
looks  like  government   sanction. 


JXJRY  FREES  COAL  MEN. 

Forty-one  bituminous  coal  operators 
and  sixty-nine  companies  in  Virginia 
and  West  Virginia,  on  trial  at  New 
York  city  on  indictments  charging  vio- 
lations of  the  Sherman  anti-trust  law, 
were  found  not  guilty  July  12  by  the 
jury  that  heard  the  evidence  during  the 
three  weeks  of  the  trial. 

The  charges  grew  out  of  the  action 
of  the  producers  of  Pocahontas  and 
New  River  coal  January  1  when  they 
raised  the  price  of  coal  from  these 
fields  from  $1.35  to  $3  per  ton  at  the 
mine.  The  government  charged  that 
the  operators  made  an  agreement  to 
this  effect  and  thereby  entered  into  a 
conspiracy  in  restraint  of  trade. 

During  the  trial  indictments  against 
twenty-three  individuals  and  thirty- 
nine  corporations,  who  were  also  among 
those  named  in  the  original  batch  of 
indictments,  were  dismissed.    '

Substituted  for  pumps,  the  Morehead  System  will 
keep  all  steam  pipes  clear  of  condensation  and  return 
it  to  the  boiler  as  pure,  hot  feed  water  quicker  and 
on  90%  less  steam  than  a  steam  pump  will  do  it. 

The  installation  expense  is  small— the  results  great. 
It  matters  not  whether  jour  institution  is  large  or 
small,  the  Morehead  System  will  save  sufficient  to

At  Point  Defiance  park  refreshments

The  Market. 


Platteville,  Wis.  —  Thomas  Moore, 
who  during  the  last  five  years  has  been 
doing  considerable  business  each  spring 
with  hotbed  plants,  is  building  a  green- 
house so  as  to  be  able  to  supply  his 
customers  the  vcar  around. 


The  cut  flower  market  was  quiet  last 
week.  The  stock  coming  in  was  good 
and  consisted  of  Beauties,  lilies,  roses  of 
most  varieties,  gladioli,  carnations,  as- 
ters and  snapdragons.  The  market  is 
glutted  with  greens  of  all  kinds.  Busi- 
ness in  July  so  far  has  been  better  than 
in  previous  years,  as  those  who  keep  ac- 
curate records  can  prove. 

Florists'  Club  Auto  Outing. 

The  Pittsburgh  Florists'  Club,  in  con- 
junction with  the  Horticultural  Club  of 
Western  Pennsylvania  and  the  Horti-

members  with  an  auto  outing  Wednes- 
day, July  18.  Owners  of  automobiles 
provided  means  of  transportation  for 
all.  The  places  visited  and  gardens  in- 
spected were:  Phipps  conservatories, 
Schenley  park;  W.  L.  and  A.  W.  Mellon 
residences,  Homewood  cemetery,  C.  D,

The  Florists^  Review 


July  19,  1917. 


TOLEDO,  O. 


The  Market. 

The  demand  for  flowers  in  the  mar- 
ket last  week  was  not  any  too  lively. 
The  arrivals  were  not  unseasonably 
large  and  could  be  easily  absorbed. 
Tliere  was  a  fair  supply  of  American 
Beauty  roses,  which  met  with  a  moder- 
ate demand  at  prices  ranging  from  $6  to 
$2;j  per  hundred  for  specials.  Other 
grades  sold  at  corresponding  prices. 
The  supply  of  hybrid  tea  roses  was 
much  shorter,  but  the  demand  for  them 
was  weak.  Top-grade  blooms  sold  at 
from  $3  to  $5  per  hundred,  while  choicer 
blooms  of  the  preferred  varieties 
brought  $6  to  $8  per  hundred.  Bottom- 
grade  blooms  sold  at  50  cents  and  $1  per 
hundred. 

The  supply  of  carnations  was  not 
large,  but  was  more  than  sufficient  to 
meet  the  weak  demand.  Prices  ranged 
from  25  cents  to  $1  per  hundred.  There 
was  a  moderate  supply  of  cattleyas,  for 
which  there  was  no  particular  demand. 
Prices  ranged  from  30  cents  to  50  cents 
each.  Lily  of  the  valley  is  not  abun- 
dant and  is  selling  at  from  $2  to  $5  per 
hundred.  Longiflorura  lilies  are  plen- 
tiful. They  sold  at  from  $3  to  $4  per 
hundred,  with  the  choicest  blooms  at  $5. 

In  miscellaneous  flowers,  there  are 
now  coming  into  the  market  a  few 
blooms  of  antirrhinum,  calendulas,  cal- 
las,  daisies,  bunches  of  rambler  roses, 
gladioli,  delphiniums,  sweet  peas,  gail- 
lardias,  coreopsis,  centaureas  and  ama- 
ryllis.  In  greens  there  are  smilax,  ferns 
and  asparagus.  All  of  these  miscella- 
neous flowers  and  greens  are  moving 
rather  sluggishly,  however. 

Various  Notes. 

The  closing  of  the  retail  flower  stores 
Sundays  is  reported  to  be  a  success. 
The  new  order  of  things  went  into  effect 
July  1  and  the  public  seems  to  have 
clieerfully  accepted  the  change. 

Growers  are  not  taking  any  chances 
and  are  doing  their  best  to  get  supplies 
of  coal  at  prevailing  prices.  They  say 
that  the  high  price  of  coal  ought  to  have 
an  effect  on  the  prices  of  flowers  next 
winter.  Some  have  succeeded  in  getting 
all  the  coal  tliey  want,  while  others  are 
experiencing  difficulties  in  making  sat- 
isfactory   arrangements. 

Helen  F.  Patten  has  left  for  Portland, 
Me.  She  will  remain  for  a  month  in  the 
Maine  woods.  Miss  Patten  is  a  great 
lover  of  outdoor  sports,  especially  fish- 
ing. 

Harry  Heinl  lias  gone  to  Terre  Haute, 
Ind.,  for  a  two  weeks'  stay  at  the  home 
of  his  mother. 

Frank  Peck  has  returned  from  a  two 
weeks'  fishing  trip  in  northern  Michi- 
gan. Mr.  Peck  says  that  "for  a  good 
rest  and  for  one  who  likes  to  catch  fine 
fish,   Michigan    is    the   place." 

Tlie  outdoor  planting  season  was 
much  delayed  this  year  by  the  prolonged 
cold  and  rainy  weather,  but  despite  this 
fact  retailers  and  growers  report  a  com- 
plete clean-up  on  all  kinds  of  bedding 
plants  and  garden  seeds.  G.  B.  S.

CINCINNATI. 


••  The  Market. 

The  supply  of  stock  in  the  market  is 
large  enough  to  satisfy  the  present  de- 
mand, which  is  steady  and  better  than 
it  was.  The  shipping  business  in  greens 
is  large.  Roses  are  in  fair  supply, 
a  limited  number  of  excellent  Ophelia, 
Russell,  Ward  and  American  Beauty 
roses  being  available.  Carnations  are 
small  and  few  arrive,  but  those  that  are 
available  meet  with  a  fair  demand. 
Lilies  are  selling  more  easily  than  at 
the  last  writing.  Asters  are  far  from 
abundant  as  yet,  but  within  a  fortnight 
there  should  be  plenty  of  them.  Some 
excellent  sweet  peas  may  be  had.  Other 
offerings  include  gladioli,  rubrum  lilies, 
larkspur,  snapdragons  and  hardy  hy- 
drangeas from  the  south. 

Ferns,  the  new  leucothoe  and  green 
galax  are  meeting  with  a  big  demand. 

Various  Notes. 

C.  E.  Critchell  is  having  a  good  sale 
of  his  new  galax  and  leucothoe. 

Mrs.  P.  J.  Olinger  is  entertaining 
Miss  Margaret  Weiland  and  Miss  Eliza- 
beth Kartheiser,  of  Evanston,  111. 

Chester  Roesauer,  of  the  Cincinnati 
Cut  Flower  Exchange,  has  'returned 
from  his  vacation. 

Edward  Bossmeyer,  with  C.  E.  Critch- 
ell, is  taking  his  vacation  during  the 
current  fortnight. 

L.  H.  Kyrk  has  been  receiving  some 
excellent  outdoor  lilies.         C.  H.  H. 


William  Schumann  was  chosen  presi- 
dent of  the  Cincinnati  Florists'  So- 
ciety at  the  annual  election  last  week. 
Other  officers  elected  were:  James  Al- 
len, vice-president;  Alex.  Ostendarp, 
secretary;  J.  Charles  Murphy,  treasurer. 
The  society  decided  to  pay  monthly 
visits  to  the  establishments  of  members, 
with  a  view  of  stimulating  interest  in 
the    organization. 


COLUMBUS,  O. 


Business  has  been  extremely  quiet  ex- 
cept for  spurts  of  funeral  work,  and 
these  have  been  rather  far  between. 
Roses  have  been  exceptionally  good  for 
this  season  of  the  year,  with  Ophelia 
in  the  lead  and  then  Maryland,  Hoosier 
Beauty,  Russell  and  Sunburst.  Ameri- 
can Beauties  are  scarce,  but  the  demand 
is  light.  Carnations  are  in  short  sup- 
ply and  small  of  size,  as  tne  old  plants 
are  making  way  for  the  new.  Mums' 
are  doing  finely  and  it  seems  that  the 
crop  will  be  as  large  as  last  year's. 

The  receipts  of  gladioli  are  larger, 
but  as  yet  there  are  not  enough  blooms 
to  go  around.  Sweet  peas  have  become 
a  drug  in  the  market  and  it  is  diffi- 
cult to  dispose  of  all  of  them,  even  at 
any  price.  Outdoor  flowers  are  too  plen- 
tiful and  for  the  most  part  are  moved 
at  sacrifice  prices.  Lilies,  however,  are 
in  small  supply  and  hard  to  find  on  cer- 
tain days. 

Many  of  the  store  workers  are  at  the 
summer  resorts,  but  those  remaining  on 
the  job  have  not,  from  all  appearances, 
been  rushed  with  work.  J.   M. 


Wampum,  Pa. — J.  S.  Hennon  &  Sons 
are  not  worried  over  the  supply  of  coal 
for  their  greenhouse  establishment.

Gtissetless 
Eave 


HTHE  eaves  in  our  Commercial  houses 
are  free  from  cumbersome  brac- 
ing parts. 

It  means  simplicity  in  erection,  and 
less  shade. 

It  has  always  seemed  to  us  that  the 
eave  being  such  a  vital  point,  it 
should  be  as  free  from  joints  as  pos- 
sible. That's  why  we  make  the  main 
supporting  members,  the  post  and 
rafter,  in  one  continuous  solid  piece 
from  the  first  purlin  to  the  foot  base. 

Go  into  one  of  our  houses  and  see 
what  a  neat,  splendid  looking  piece  of 
construction  it  is. 

It  has  the  strength. - 

Endurance  it  has  beyond  any  dis- 
cussion. 

You  know  we  go  anywhere  for  busi- 
ness.   Or  to  talk  business.

red   cherries. 

The  habit  of  the  plant  is  dwarf  and  bushy; 
the  fruit  is  perfectly  round,  the  color  a  brilliant 
red   and  larger  than  an  ordinary  clierry.

PEONIES  FOR  MEMORIAL  DAY. 


Planning  for  Next  Season. 

Peonies  are  entering  more  and  more 
into  the  life  of  the  people.  Eecently, 
when  one  of  the  leading  lawyers  of 
Minneapolis  gave  his  daughter  in  mar- 
riage, his  home  was  decorated  with 
2,000  peonies  and  the  preference  he  thus 
showed  for  these  flowers  was  only  one 
instance  of  what  fashionable  people 
were  doing  throughout  the  country. 

Memorial  day  is  of  increasing  impor- 
tance. Then  we  call  a  halt;  we  unfold 
the  past;  we  look  away  into  the  future. 
And  it  is  the  special  mission  of  the 
florists  to  supply  the  most  expressive 
symbols  for  such  occasions.  The  flow- 
ers speak  eloquently  of  the  cheer  and 
sympathy  of  nature.  When  we  sorrow- 
fully laid  away  the  body  of  my  wife, 
June  21,  the  flowers  seemed  to  be  an 
introduction  to  the  land  "where  ever- 
lasting spring  abides  and  never-wither- 
ing flowers." 

Reliable  Sorts  for  the  North. 

Peonies  are  especially  suitable  for 
Memorial  day,  but  in  the  most  northerly 
states  there  is  always  danger  of  their 
being  a  little  tardy.  A  frequent  ques- 
tion is,  what  are  the  best  varieties  to 
plant    with    Memorial    day    in    view?

Pffionia  umbellata  rosea  has  never  failed 
to  be  on  time  until  this  abnormal  sea- 
son. It  is  an  attractive  variegated 
light  pink.  The  next  in  order  is  the 
fine  old  favorite,  P.  edulis  superba.  For 
whites  we  have  mueen  Victoria  and  P. 
festiva  maxima,  though  sometimes  both 
of  these  are  a  little  tardy. 

We  long  have  needed  a  good  red  and 
we  have  found  it  in  Richard  Carvel. 
It  is  among  the  earliest.  In  appear- 
ance it  is  radiant  and  glistening  and  it 
is  exceedingly  fragrant.  It  seems  ready 
to  bloom  on  the  least  provocation.  I 
have  seen  charming  flowers  produced  on 
it  from  roots  planted  the  previous  fall. 
Though  high-priced,  its  merits  are  such 
that  I  consider  it  cheap.  The  grower 
should  be  able  to  get  fifty  plants  from 
one  in  a  few  years  and  then  the  initial 
cost  would  seem  trifling.  Do  not  forget 
that  September  is  the  planting  time.

truly  a  mechanical  accomplishment.  Nothing  simpler  can  be  secured 
for  doings  the  work  it  is  capable  of  handling.  No  complicated  parts  to.  get 
out  of  order.  Neat  in  appearance  and  ten  times  as  strong  as  it  looks.  Any

SlPrS  HYBRID  YELLOW  POLYANTHUS 


I  had  two  houses  of  Giant  Yellow 
Polyanthus  in  full  crop  at  Eas  er. 
A  Review  correspondent  saw  tl  em 
March  31st  and  wrote: 

"They  include  some  beautiful  varietie  , 
which  are  being  carefully  marked  aiil 
saved  for  propagation.  One  bed  300  fet  '^ 
long,  of  a  pale  yellow  polyanthus,  true  1 ) 
type  in  every  plant,  was  particularly 
fine.  I  measured  individual  flowers  tw 
inches  in  diameter  and  many  of  the  stalls 
stood  eighteen  inches  high.  Two  houses, 
each  300  feet  long,  are  devoted  to  this 
crop,  and  a  glorious  sight  they  are." 

But  the  best  of  it  is  they  had  a 
glorious  sale.  You  can  do  as  well 
next  season  if  you  order  your  stock 
now.

This  is  one  of  my  houses.  20x300  feet,  of  National  Flower  Show  Gold  Medal  Polyanthus. 
These  have  been  in  bloom  constantly  since  November.

CHOOSING  A  SPOT 

FOR  A  FLOWER  SHOP 

In  what  sort  of  neighborhood  and  where  in  that  neighborhood  is  the  best  place 
for  a  retail  flower  store?  Upon  the  correct  answer  to  these  questions  ofteni 
depends  the  success  of  a  business  venture.  Herein  are  some  suggestions  on 
the  subject  that  will  be  of  help  to  those  contemplating  a  change  in  location. 


O  many  favorable  elements 
are  required  to  make  a  lo- 
cation ideal  for  a  retail 
flower  store  that  there  are 
few  such  places  in  any 
city.  However,  as  it  is 
upon  the  selection  of  a  lo- 
cation that  much  of  the 
success  or  failure  of  a  re- 
tail venture  depends,  the 
favorable  and  unfavorable  elements 
should  be  carefully  considered.  It  is 
better  to  devote  time,  thought  and  study 
to  this  question  before  the  lease  is 
signed,  or  the  purchase  made,  and  a 
large  sum  of  money  expended  on  fix- 
tures and  advertising,  much  of  which 
will  be  a  total  loss  in  the  event  that  the 
location  is  found  to  be  unsuited  to  the 
business. 

There  are,  of  course,  two  classes  of 
retail  flower  stores — the  one  in  the  busy 
downtown  section  where  a  great  pro- 
portion of  the  trade  is  transient;  the 
other  in  a  residence  section  where  most 
of  the  sales  are  made  year  after  year  to 
the  same  buyers.  Picking  a  location  for 
either  of  these  two  types  of  stores  re- 
quires study  of  differ- 
ent characters,  but,  at 
the  same  time,  much 
the  same. 

There  was  a  time  in 
the  florists'  business 
when  most  of  the  sales 
were  made  to  the 
wealthy,  or  so-called 
Well  to-do  class  of  peo- 
ple. The  last  ten 
year«,  however,  have 
broii^rht  a  change. 
NoM adays  everyone 
buys  flowers  sometime 
during  the  year. 

Where  Crowds  Are. 

The  flower  stores  in 
the  business  districts 
of  * 'ties  catch  more  of 
jl'i'^  class  of  trade  than 
tho>.;  in  residence  sec- 
"0--.     The  traflfic  past 

<loors  of  this  type 

tore    is    so    great 

there  are  sufficient 

•ers  of  those  mak- 
their      occasional 


pended  upon  transient  trade.  He  must 
have  a  class  of  customers  who  are  fairly 
regular  flower  buyers.  Hundreds  pass 
his  place  as  against  the  many  thousands 
that  daily  see  the  display  windows  of 
the  downtown  store. 

Conditions  to  be  considered  in  a  large 
city  will  apply  in  cities  not  so  large, 
while  in  the  smaller  towns  many  of  the 
same  elements  will  be  found. 

Selecting  a  location  for  a  flower  store 
in  the  downtown  or  business  section  of 
a  large  city  has  been  the  rock  upon 
which  many  florists,  who  had  been  suc- 
cessful in  other  parts  of  the  same  city, 
have  foundered. 

Reasons  for  Failures. 

They  have  picked  a  store  in  the  heart 
of  the  retail  center;  a  place  that  is 
passed  daily  by  a  constant  stream  of 
the  class  of  people  who  are  flower  buy- 
ers. Yet  success  has  escaped  them  be- 
cause the  rent  was  too  much,  or  the 
proximity  of  the  store  to  another  was 
too  close,  creating  a  division  of  busi- 
ness that  turned  a  former  success  into  a 
failure  and  never  gave  the  second  store

Flower  Stores  Have  Found  it  Impossible  to  Earn  the  Rents  Demanded  Here. 


a  chance  to  become  a  real  success. 
It  is  an  odd  fact  that  there  are  few 
flower  stores  in  the  largest  cities  located 
on  street  corners.  There  are  conspic- 
uous exceptions,  of  course,  but  the 
florist  usually  is  "just  around  the 
corner,"  getting  as  near  as  possible 
without  contracting  to  pay  the  higher 
rent  that  a  corner  location  commands. 
The  exceptions  to  this  rule  are  stores 
managed  by  men  of  special  talents. 

riower  sales  to  transients  are  made 
during  what  is  generally  termed  "shop- 
ping hours;"  that  is,  between  10  a.  m. 
and  5  p.  m.,  sometimes  principally 
within  much  shorter  hours.  There  are 
records  of  florists  looking  for  a  place 
to  start  a  store  making  a  count  of  the 
traffic  during  these  hours  in  the  dis- 
trict picked.  This  is  an  arduous  task, 
but  the  results  have  been  surprising. 
For  instance,  one  man  discovered  by

The  success  of  a 
florist  in  a  certain 
location  is  apt  to  draw 
others  to  the  same 
section.  In  many 
cities  it  is  possible  to 
walk  several  blocks  in 
the  business  district 
and  find  not  a  single 
flower  store  and  then 
come  upon  three  or 
four  grouped  cither 
near  the  four  corners 
or  in  the  middle  of  the 
Idocks  adjoining  the 
corners.  By  asking

The  Florists'  Review 


July  26,  11117 


found  tliat  one  has  been  there  many 
years,  the  otliers  coming  later.  And  it 
also  will  usually  be  found  that  only  one 
or  two  are  successes,  wliile  tlie  (ttliers 
are  eitlier  breakiiifi^  even   or  are   losers. 

Haviiifi^  discovered  wliicli  is  tlie  spot 
passed  by  the  most  ])eople  (»t'  the  class 
likely  to  buy  ilowers,  tlic  would-be 
florist  begins  to  hunt  a  store.  For  right 
here  it  miglit  be  said  that  there  are  no 
ideal  locations  for  a  flower  store  that 
are  vacant.  If  the  store  was  vacant  it 
probably  would  not  be  suitable  either 
for  a  flower  store  or  any  other  kind  of 
store,  or  it  would  have  been  snapped  up 
before. 

Instead  of  going  to  a  renting  agent 
to  inquire  what  the  rent  of  such  a  place 
is,  the  seeker  for  a  store  location  must 
find  out  what  are  tlie  possibilities  of 
there  being  a  vacancy  in  the  neighbor- 
hood he  has  selected;  and  if  there  is 
going  to  be  a  vacancy,  how  much  rent 
will  be  required  to  secure  the  lease. 

High   Rent   Takes  Profits. 

Bent  is  an  overhead  expense  that 
goes  on  in  dull  as  in  busy  seasons.  There 
is  no  escape.  Help  and  delivery  can  be 
increased  or  decreased  as  the  business 
demands,  but  not  so  the  rent. 

What  proportion  of  the  gross  annual 
sales  should  be  expended  for  rent?  That 
is  a  difficult  question  to  answer,  be- 
cause it  varies  under  different  condi- 
tions. A  florist  doing  a  gross  business 
of  $10,000  per  year  cannot  afford  to 
pay  out  so  large  a  percentage  of  his 
gross  as  the  one  doing  $100,000  per 
year.  At  the  same  time,  the  $10,000-a- 
year  florist  will  have  a  higher  percent- 
age of  profit  at  the  end  of  the  year,  al- 
though not  so  much  in  the  aggregate. 

High-class  residence  sections  provide 
the  ideal  locations  for  the  florist  who 
has  not  sufficient  capital  to  start  a  store 
in  the  business  district,  where  a  much 
greater  investment  is  required.  But 
there  are  many  things  to  be  considered 
in  selecting  a  site  in  a  residence  dis- 
trict, more,  even,  than  in  finding  a  suit- 
able location  downtown. 

In  Besidence  Districts. 

The  questions  a  florist  should  find 
the  answers  to  are: 

Are  the  residents  of  this  neighbor- 
hood able  to  buy  flowers? 

Are  the  residents  of  this  neighbor- 
hood of  a  type  that  likes  the  good  things 
of  life,   or   are  they   of   the   class   that 


has  money,  but  believes  in  hoarding  it? 

There  is  a  fine  distinction  between  the 
latter  two  classes,  as  florists  have  dis- 
covered. Many  people  who  have  money 
do  not  buy  s(»  many  flowers  as  others 
who  have  less. 

Having  selected  the  neighborhood 
wherein  it  is  believed  a  flower  store 
will  pros])er,  the  choice  of  a  location 
which  is  most  easily  accessible  to  these 
I)eople  is  the  next  consideration. 

Location  means  little  in  getting  the 
trade  of  those  who  habitually  ride  in 
automobiles.  Several  blocks  more  or 
less  make  no  difference  to  the  auto 
owner.  However,  distance  does  make 
a  difference  to  the  car  rider. 

A  man  buys  flowers,  not  when  he  is 
going  to  business  in  the  morning,  but 
when  he  returns  from  business  in  the 
evening.  He  boards  the  car  on  one  cor- 
ner and  alights  from  it  diagonally  op- 
posite. The  latter  is  the  spot.  Not  on 
the  corner,  necessarily,  but  near  enough 
so  that  when  he  gets  off  the  window 
display  will  be  in  the  direct  line  of  his 
vision.  His  thoughts  are  of  home  and  it 
is  only  natural  that,  as  his  eye  rests 
upon  the  blooms  in  the  window,  he  will 
desire  to  have  them  whether  or  not  he 
buys  at  that  particular  time. 

Getting  and  Keeping  Trade. 

This,  of  course,  is  what  is  called  tran- 
sient trade,  but  a  customer  has  the  first 
time  to  enter  any  store.  Whether  he 
comes  back  depends  on  the  service  he 
gets,  the  quality  of  the  flowers  and  the 
nearness  of  the  store  to  his  home.  A 
few  stops  and  satisfying  purchases  and 
at  no  time  will  he  think  of  flowers  that 
he  does  not  think  of  the  store  near  his 
home. 

However,  there  are  other  considera- 
tions than  catching  the  homeward- 
bound  householder,  because  there  are 
many  hours  of  the  day  when  he  is  not 
in  evidence. 

There  are  people  who  go  to  a  certain 
street  daily  and  rarely,  if  ever,  cross 
it.  Traffic  from  one  direction  to  that 
street  also  is  many  times  of  a  differ- 
ent character  tlian  that  from  the  other. 
Streets  witli  car  lines  often  are  the  di- 
viding lines  between  high-class  and  the 
other  kind  of  neighborhoods. 

The  best  location,  of  course,  is  where 
the  florists'  shop  will  stem  the  tide  of 
the  bettor  class  of  pedestrians,  even 
though  it  is  on  the  opposite  side  from 
the   s])ot   where  the  business  man  gets 


off  the  car.     This  has  been  provon  1 


the  fact  that  a  flower  store  on 


the 


side  has  been  practically  a  failure  n"*! 

by   moving   across   the   street   h;is  ij  " 

turned  into  a  success.  ^" 

Building  a  Business. 

New  neighborhoods,  where  apart 
ment  houses  and  homes  are  rapi.Hy  u 
ing  built  and  where  families  ;ue  be 
coming  more  numerous  each  yeai-,  pr^ 
vide  locations  where  a  florist  cai;  Ijuju 
up  a  substantial  business  that  v,  ;il  \,^_ 
come  better  and  better  as  the  vears 
pass.  One  successful  florist  opiMed  a 
store  in  the  heart  of  a  high-class  resi- 
dence district  many  years  ago.  His 
business  prospered,  but  gradual!,  the 
character  of  the  district  changu  ;.  ^ 
majority  of  his  customers  mov d  to 
more  desirable  sections,  but  they  con. 
tinned  to  buy  of  the  man  who  ha  ;  sold 
them  for  years.  The  advent  of  tin  auto 
truck  gave  him  a  means  by  whi.  U  he 
could  render  the  same  service  at  i  dis. 
tance  of  several  miles  that  he  gave  his 
customers  when  they  lived  but  ;i  few 
blocks  away.  He  built  a  substantial 
business  in  the  neighborhood  and  held 
that  business,  despite  the  change  in  the 
character  of  near-oy  residents. 

Theater  and  Hotel  Buildings. 

New  theaters  and  new  hotels  are  al- 
ways attractions  for  florists'  stores. 
The  character  of  the  patronage  these 
places  draw  makes  them  seem  favorable 
locations  for  flower  stores.  Sometimes 
they  are  and  sometimes  they  are  not. 

Too  much  dependence  should  not  be 
placed  on  the  fact  that  people  goiii>;  to 
theaters  and  to  dine  at  hotels,  no  mat- 
ter how  high  the  class  of  these  places, 
arc  at  the  time  pleasure  seeking  and 
therefore  likely  to  buy  flowers.  It  often 
happens  that  they  have  been  provided 
or  have  provided  themselves  with  flow- 
ers before  leaving  their  homes. 

But  either  one  of  these  locations  is 
good  providing  there  are  more  tiian 
the  hotel-dining  and  theater-going 
crowds  from  which  to  draw  patronage. 
If  the  neighborhoods  in  which  these 
places  are  located  are  high-class  and  if 
the  store  is  so  situated  that  the  near- 
by residents  pass  it  in  their  'ordinary 
daily  movements,  there  is  every  reason 
to  believe  that  the  business  will  I'l'  a 
success. 

Selecting  a  location  for  a  retail  store 
is  the  first  move  in  starting  such  a  h\m- 


j.^^  These  Two  Locations  are  Only  Three  Blocks  Apart,  but  There  is  Great  Difference  in  Value  from  a  Retailer's  Viewpoint.

appointed  trustee  of  the  Savanna 
Cii  eon  house  Co.  when  it  went  into  the 
haiuls  of  a  receiver  January  13,  1917, 
lias  sold  the  company's  greenhouse  es- 
tablishment and  business  to  Joseph  W. 
Dunn,  one  of  the  incorporators  of  tlie 
lumpauy.  Mr.  Dunn  held  a  second 
mortgage  for  $5,500  on  the  property  and 
after  the  company  was  taken  over  by 
the  trustee  purchased  a  first  mortgage 
tor  .'t!4,.")00  to  protect  his  interests.  The 
trustee  under  the  receivership  conduct- 
ed the  business  until  July  10  in  the 
hope  tliat  it  might  be  put  on  a  paying 
basis  and  therefore  realize  something 
for  tiic  unsecured  creditors.  However, 
in  tlie  six  montlis  there  was  a  deficit  of 
154.  Mr.  Walter  reported  to  the  court 
tiiat  the  high  price  of  coal  and  other 
commodities,  and  a  decrease  in  business, 
made  it  impossible  to  earn  current  ex- 
penses. Mr.  Dunn  paid  $500  in  cash 
over  and  above  his  claims  for  the  busi- 
ness. This  sum  enabled  tlie  trustee  to 
|iay  the  debts  incurred  during  the  re- 
ceivership, but  left  notliing  for  the  un- 
secured creditors.  The  company  was 
incorporated  in  1912  with  capital  stock 
of  $2U,U00  to  take  over  the  business 
formerly  conducted  under  the  name  of 
Lambert  &  Dunn  and  later  by  Joseph 
W.  Dunn. 

St.  Louis,  Mo. — The  stock  and  fixtures 
of  the  Kelly  Floral  Co.,  which  went  into 
the  hands  of  a  receiver  recently,  were 
sold  at  auction  July  19.  Keceiver  Evans 
says  the  proceeds  of  the  sale  together 
^\itli  a  number  of  good  book  accounts, 
some  of  which  already  have  been  col- 
lected, will  give  the  creditors  a  con- 
siderable per  cent  of  tl^eir  claims. 


WEST  OFPERS  REWARD. 

H.  E.  West,  of  Salem,  N.  J.,  offers  a 
^■^''ard  of  $50  for  information  loading 
t"  'lie  arrest  of  one  Alphonso  De  La 
•^'  'or,  described  as  "tall,  dark  hair, 
bli.  eyes,  with  tattoo  on  both  fore- 
aii'i.s. ' '  He  worked  for  the  H.  E.  West 
C< .  from  June  20  till  July  16,  when  he 
su  Nlenly  disappeared.  Mr.  West  alleges 
yi'it  he  took  with  him  valuable  jewelry, 
1"  luding  two  watches  and  a  diamond 
'■'"k',  also  forging  a  check  on  his  em- 
pl  yer.  Mr.  West  adds:  "Hehastrav- 
*^'  1  extensively,  even  in  South  America 
f;  1  Panama,  but  claimed  to  come  from 
'imessee  last.  He  had  with  him  an 
'J' '1  Fellows'  traveling  card  from

hall  his  headquarters,  duping  its  mem- 
bers; a  willing  worker,  good  talker  and 
of  neat  appearance.  I  am  offering  a  re- 
ward of  $50  for  any  information  lead- 
ing to  his  arrest." 


TRANSPLANTING  PERENNIALS. 

Please  tell  mo  when  I  sliould  trans- 
])lant  3-year-old  hardy  i)oppies,  gaillar- 
dias,  Japanese  irises,  coreopsis,  phloxes, 
hollyhocks  and  peonies.  Should  the 
clumps  or  roots  bo  divided  when  trans- 
])lanted  and  w411  thev  bloom  again  next 
year?  ^        C.  D.— Mo. 

All  the  ])eroiiiiials  named  can  be  suc- 
cessfully transplanted  in  the  fall,  which 
is  a  more  .satisfactory  season  than 
spring  for  tlie  moving  of  nearly  all 
hardy  perennials.  Japanese  irises  and 
peonies  do  better  if  divided  and  trans- 
planted earlier  than  the  other  varieties; 
about  the  end  of  September  in  your  lati- 
tu<le  should  be  a  suitable  time.  Papaver 
orientale  can  be  divided  and  replanted 
soon  after  the  ])eonies  and  irises. 
Pliloxes  must  be  left  later,  and  the  last 
of  October  would  be  a  good  date  for 
these.  They  also  can  be  divided,  but 
it  is  well  to  remember  that  divided 
clumps  will  not  give  you  as  fine  spikes 
as  young  stock  raised  from  soft-wood 
cuttings  in  the  spring.  Hollyhocks  can 
be  divided,  but  it  pays  better  to  sow  a 
fresh    hatch    each    year,   and    this    is   a 


good  time  to  start  them.  Coreopsis 
grandiflora  is  really  only  a  biennial,  but 
you  can  divide  and  transplant  C.  ver- 
ticillata  about  the  end  of  October.  All 
tliese  perennials  need  well  manured  and 
deeply  plowed  or  spaded  grouml  to  give 
the   best    results.  C.    W. 


LILIES  FOR  EASTER. 

Which  of  the  lilies  is  the  most  suit- 
able for  growing  for  Easter  this  year? 
Is  the  Formosa  lily,  the  dark-stem  type, 
any  easier  to  grow  f(tr  Easter,  or  better 
adapted  for  the  jmrpose? 

V.    R.   F.— Ind. 


The  Formosa  lily  is  a  taller  and 
(•arlier  blooming  variety  than  L.  longi- 
llorum  giganteum  and  is  better  a<lapted 
for  cutting,  but  does  not  make  so  good 
a  ]iot  i)laiit.  It  will  be  advisable  to 
stick  to  giganteum  if  you  want  pot 
plants,  as  it  is  dwarfer  and  stockier,  but 
if  you  cut  your  flowers  you  sliould  in- 
clude some  of  the  Formosa,  which  can 
1)0  bloomed  early  in  a  lower  temperature 
than  giganteum.  C.    W.

The  Rorists'  Review 


July  26,  1017, 


NEW  EOSES  AT  PARIS. 

Notwithstanding  the  great  conflict 
within  hearing  of  Paris,  the  rose  trials 
at  the  Bagatelle  gardens  have  continued 
during  the  war.  The  report  of  the  judg- 
ing of  new  varieties  this  season  has  just 
come  to  hand.  The  gold  medals  were 
awarded  to  two  yellow  roses,  one  from 
Pernet-Ducher,  of  Lyons,  named  Mme. 
Caristie  Martel;  the  other  from  Alexan- 
der Dickson,  of  Newtownards,  Ireland, 
named  Margaret  Dickson  Hamil.  The 
judges  report  that  both  these  roses  have 
shown,  during  the  period  of  their  culti- 
vation at  Bagatelle,  all  the  points  of 
good  roses,  including  continuous  flower- 
ing from  spring  to  autumn.  Certificates 
were  awarded  to  the  following:  Mrs. 
Mackellar,  canary-yellow;  Bed  Star, 
brilliant  red;  Henriette,  orange  tea. 

In  spite  of  difficulties  of  transit,  seven- 
ty-six roses  have  been  received  at  Baga- 
telle this  year  to  be  judged  in  1918. 
Two  were  from  America,  one  of  which 
has  not  yet  flowered.  Eeport  says  the 
other,  Los  Angeles,  was  raised  from 
Mme.  Segond  Weber  crossed  w^ith  Lyon 
rose.  It  appears  to  be  a  valuable  rose, 
with  the  good  points  of  both  parents 
combined. 

BLACK  SPOT. 

I  am  having  difficulty  witli  black 
spot  on  rose  plants  in  the  greenhouse. 
In  order  to  maintain  proper  growing 
conditions  it  is  necessary  to  spray  quite 
frequently.  What  would  you  advise  using 
to  check  or  eradicate  the  trouble?  Any 
information  you  can  give  me  relative  to 
this  will  be  appreciated. 

F.  B.  W.— Midi. 


Black  spot  is,  for  most  rose  growers, 
the  most  injurious  disease  aside  from 
mildew,  which  does  even  greater  harm. 
The  spot  is  caused  by  tlie  fungus  com- 
monly known  as  Actinonoma  rosa>.  The 
spots"  occur  on  tlie  upper  side  of  the  leaf 
and  the  injury  is  in  proi)ortion  to  the 
number  of  spots;  the  entire  surface  of 
the  leaf  may  become  affected  by  the 
confluence  of  the  spots.  In  bad  cases 
the  leaves  become  yellow  and  defolia- 
tion follows.  Growers  consider  that  a 
prime  cause  of  black  spot  is  syringing 
tlic  plants  so  late  in  the  day  that  they 
do  not  become  dried  out  by  nightfall. 
Consequently,  the  most  severe  attacks 
of  the  disease  may  be  expected  where 
the  plants  are  bushy  and  so  tied  up  that 
tlio  air  does  not  circulate  freely  among 
tlie  foliage. 

Wliere  the  attack  of  black  spot  is  light 


it  frequently  can  be  eradicated  by  re- 
moving all  the  affected  foliage  and  burn- 
ing it  under  the  greenhouse  boiler.  To 
throw  the  foliage  on  the  bench  or  under 
it  is  as  bad  as  to  leave  it  on  the  plants. 
Where  the  attack  has  gotten  out  of  hand 
and  the  disease  has  become  virulent,  re- 
moving the  affected  foliage  will  not  suf- 
fice and  a  spray  of  ammoniacal  copper 
carbonate  is  recommended.  This  ma- 
terial can  be  purchased  of  any  supply 
house.  It  is  understood,  of  course,  that 
any  treatment  for  the  disease  will  be 
ineffective  unless  accompanied  by 
proper  treatment  in  the  matter  of  syr- 
inging  and   air.  H.   O. 


rooted  in  a  close  frame;  one  wit! 
tie  bottom  heat  is  most  suitable, 
in    sand    overlying    loam,    or    in 
loam.     I  prefer   sand.      The    w,; 
cuttings  is  of  the  proper  firmii, 
when  the  flowers  are  opening.    ,' 
method     of     propagation     is 
bunches     of     cuttings     averagin 
inches  long  just  before  winter, 
all  leaves.     Place  the  cuttings  i-. 
sand  in  a  cellar  over  winter.     In 
as  soon  as  the  ground  is  open,  j 
trenches  in  well  prepared  groun> 
ing  only  the  top  bud  appearing 
the  surface.     Firm  the  soil  well 
the    cuttings.      A    large   percent; 
them  will  root.     The  roses  may  ; 
propagated  by  budding  or  graftii 
these  methods  need  more  skill  tli 
use   of   cuttings.  C.

PROPAGATING  OUTDOOR  ROSES.

USE  A  NICOTINE  EXTRACT. 

There  is  a  small  brown  miller  \hich 
lays  its  eggs  on  my  plants  and  th.  eggs 
hatch  out  a  light  green  caterpillar  which 
eats  the  plants.  My  geraniums,  Vever- 
few  and  daisies  have  been  eaten  li\-  this 
pest  and  now  it  is  on  the  chrysnnthe- 
mums  and  snapdragons.  The  moths  are 
lively  and  hard  to  catch.  I  have  used 
cyanide  so  strong  that  it  has  burned 
some  of  the  plants,  but  the  moths  :ire  as 
lively  as  ever.  Can  you  tell  me  what 
to  do  to  get  rid  of  this  pest? 

A.  H.  W.— Mass. 


Two  methods  of  propagation  by  cut- 
tings can  be  tried.  Cuttings  containing 
a  couple  of  eyes  each  may  be  taken  dur- 
ing July  and  early  August,  before  the 
wood  becomes  too  firm,  and  should  be 


Try  spraying  with  one  of  the  .strong 
extracts  of  nicotine.  There  are  direc- 
tions on  the  label.  I  would  spray  in  the 
evening  and  wash  over  the  plants  early 
in  the  morning  with  the  hose.  Kepeat 
this  until  the  pest  is  under  control.  The 
pest  you  refer  to  is  a  bad  one  and  sev- 
eral sprayings  will  probably  be  neces- 
sary. C.  W.

Propagating  Deciduous  Shrubs. 


There  still  is  time  to  propagate  such 
deciduous  shrubs  as  viburnums,  spiraeas, 
loniceras,  philadelphus,  forsythias, 
weigelas,  hydrangeas  and  other  varie- 
ties from  soft-wood  cuttings,  which  can 
be  placed  in  sand  in  an  ordinary  propa- 
gating house,  or,  better  still,  in  a  close 
(oldframe,  where  the  cuttings  can  either 
be  placed  in  flats  of  sandy  soil  or  di- 
rectly in  the  frame  itself.  On  hot,  sunny 
days  spray  the  cuttings  several  times 
a  day,  but  always  lightly,  and  close  the 
sashes  about  the  middle  of  the  afternoon, 
in  order  to  bottle  up  a  brisk  heat.  As 
the  cuttings  start  to  callous,  reduce  the 
spraying.  When  they  start  to  root,  run 
the  frame  cooler  and  more  airy.  There 
is  no  reason  why  many  country  florists 
should  not  raise  large  numbers  of  decid- 
uous shrubs  in  this  way  now,  and  later 
in  the  season  evergreens  can  be  propa- 
gated successfully  in  a  cool  grecnliousc. 

Cold  Storage  Speciosums. 

Pot  up  some  cold  storage  speciosum 
lilies  now,  to  be  flowered  for  Tli.auksgiv- 
ing  and  Christmas.     I  find  they  succeed 


much  better  in  8-inch  pots,  in  whieli  an 
average  of  five  bulbs  can  be  placed,  tiian 
in  those  of  smaller  size.  The  best  pi  ^i  is 
to  half -fill  the  pots  at  first  and  top-u'css 
afterward  as  growth  advances.  Keep 
the  plants  in  a  cool  pit  or  grecnli  use 
and  be  careful  not  to  overwatcr  tlicm 
until  the  pots  are  well  filled  with  r^  it*. 
Speciosum  lilies  succeed  better  if  gi  ^^'i^ 
10  degrees  cooler  than  longiflorunis  nul 
in  winter  they  should  not  be  1  P^ 
warmer  than  55  degrees  at  night.  •  ,"" 
ciosums  are  most  useful  lilies  for  ut 
ting  and  are  splendid  for  design  wor   • 


Pansies. 

The    last   week    in    July    or    the 
week   in  August   is   a   suitable   tini' 
sow  a  main  crop  of  pansies  to  be  ' 
tered  in  coldframcs  or  outdoors.     Si 
of    New    York    sowings    the    middh

without     delay.       Except    where    1; 
numbers  are  to  be  grown,  a  coldfr-

seeds.     Use  a  light  and  well  pulver';

th'  'ifly  plants  realize  the  best  prices. 
Pa;,  ies  germinate  well  outdoors  if  a 
pa,  ;v  shaded  location  is  selected  for 
tin  ■  I  prefer  to  make  beds  three  feet 
^i,'>.  Sow  the  seeds  broadcast  and

gliglitly  rotted  leaves  and  laying  some 
birdi  or  other  brush  over  these  to  hold 
thorn  in  position.  The  mulch  is  re- 
moved as  soon  as  the  seedlings  appear, 
but  no  harm  is  done  if  it  is  not  removed 
entirely. 

A  number  of  pansy  specialists  offer 
excellent  strains  of  pansies.  I  find  a 
selection  of  Giant  Trimardeau  good.  It 
can  be  had  mixed  or  in  separate  colors. 
As  a  rule  purchasers  prefer  mixtures, 
but  for  bedding  separate  colors  are  to 
be  preferred.  Do  not  overlook  the  tuft- 
ed pansies  or  bedding  violas.  Sow  and 
treat  them  just  as  you  would  pansies. 
These  violas  are  splendid  for  bedding. 
They  are  longer  and  far  more  persistent 
bloomers  than  the  larger-flowered  pan- 
sies and  make  grand  ground  covers  for 
bulb  beds.  They  are  also  good  for  mass- 
ing and  for  bordering.  Blue,  yellow, 
white  and  mauve  colors  of  violas  can  be 
bought  separately. 

Miscellaneous  Hardy  Plants. 

The  last  of  July  is  a  good  time  to 
make  sowings  of  double  and  single  holly- 
hocks— the  latter  are  the  best — lark- 
spurs, lupines,  aquilegias,  sweet  Wil- 
liams, rockets,  agrostemmas,  Dianthus 
plumarius,  Alyssum  saxatile,  hardy 
candytuft  and  other  biennials  and  per- 
ennials. Everyone  with  a  garden  wants 
some  hardy  flowers  and  all  country  flo- 
rists should  equip  themselves  to  meet 
this  demand.  Perhaps  this  season  flower 
planting  is  a  little  neglected,  but  the 
wave  of  liysteria  which  swept  some  sec- 
tions, and  the  misguided  zealots  who  ad- 
vised people  to  tear  out  flowers  and 
plant  food  crops,  are  soon  going  to  be 
but  a  memory.  I  have  met  many  of  late 
who  mourned  their  lack  of  flowers,  and 
lU'xt  season  will  bring  these  people 
li;ick  into  line  as  flower  purchasers.  The 
^var  also  has  given  us  hundreds  of  thou- 
-ynds  of  new  amateur  gardeners,  and  if 
1'ut  one-fourth  of  these  persist  another 
.^'•'ar,  horticulture  will  got  a  big  uplift 
•""1  florists  will  feel  the  benefit  of  it  as 
V  oil  as  nurserymen  and  seedsmen.

ly  at  all  times,  give  plenty  of  water, 
keep  the  surface  soil  stirred  from  time 
to  time,  and  you  will  find  these  a  prof- 
itable crop.  Furthermore,  bad  weather 
will  not  affect  the  quality  of  your  flow- 
ers as  it  does  the  outdoor  ones. 

Poinsettias. 

You  can  continue  to  put  in  poinsettia 
cuttings  until  early  in  August.  The  late 
cuttings  will  give  plants  suitable  for 
making  up  in  small  pans.  Be  sure  not 
to  leave  the  cuttings  too  long  in  the 
cutting  bench.  If  they  become  at  all 
hard  and  have  long  roots  when  taken 
out  of  the  sand,  it  will  be  hard  to  make 
presentable  plants  of  them.  Do  not 
allow  the  plants  that  are  potted  off  to 
become  hard  and  potbound  before  giving 
them  a  shift.  Good  drainage  and  care- 
ful watering  are  needed  for  poinsettiiis. 
but  while  we  get  hot  weather  and  the 
plants  dry  up  rapidly  the  cliancos  of  in- 
jury from  these  sources  are  less  than  we 
have  the  first  cold  niglits  in  Soptonibor. 


A.   G.   HECHT   GOES   TO   AMHERST. 

The  royal  road  to  the  position  of  head 
of  the  departniont  of  ilorii-ulturc  of  the 
Massachusetts  Agricultural  College,  Am- 
herst, Mass.,  appears  to  lead  through 
the  University  of  Illinois.  For  a  sec- 
ond time  the  Massachusetts  college  filled 
its  chair  in  floriculture  from  the  Illi- 
nois institution,  when  A.  G.  Hecht,  first 
assistant  at  the  floricultural  experiment 
station  and  instructor  in  floriculture, 
was  recently  chosen  for  the  position. 

Mr.  Hecht  filled  the  place  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Illinois  made  vacant  by  the 


resignation  of  A.  H.  Nehrling,  who  be- 
came head  of  the  department  of  floricul- 
ture at  Amherst.  Several  months  ago 
Mr.  Nehrling  resigned  to  become  mana- 
ger of  McDonald  &  Co.,  Crawfordsville, 
Ind.,  and  now  Mr.  Ilecht  has  again  be- 
come his  successor. 

A  graduate  of  the  University  of  Illi- 
nois, Mr.  Hecht  was  one  of  the  first  to 
receive  a  degree  in  floriculture,  although 
he  entered  the  university  to  take  only 
a  special  course.  After  his  graduation 
he  was  selected  as  an  instructor  and  was 
placed  in  charge  of  the  greenhouses.  He 
had  the  endorsement  of  the  faculty  at 
Illinois   for  the  position   at   Amherst. 

Mr.  Hecht  was  born  in  Overland,  Mo., 
and  received  his  preliminary  education 
in  the  public  schools  of  St.  Louis  coun- 
ty. After  leaving  school  he  worked 
with  liis  brother,  C.  Hecht,  who  has  a 
florists'  establishment  near  St.  I^ouis. 
He  entered  the  University  of  Illinois  in 
1910.  He  was  popular  at  Urbana  and 
his  friends  predict  success  for  him  in 
the  new  position. 

'Mr.  Hecht  is  a  member  of  the  Illinois 
State  Florists'  Association  and  the 
S.  A.  F.,  and  is  keenly  interested  in  all 
matters  pertaining  to  floriculture.

HYACINTHS  FOR  CHRISTMAS. 

Please  let  us  know  whether  hyaiinthg 
or  tulips  can  be  brought  into  blooii  foj 
Christmas.  If  so,  what  kind  shouli  be 
used  and  when  should  they  be  started?

SPOT  DISEASE  OF  GERANIUMS. 

What  is  the  matter  with  the  gera- 
niums from  which  the  en^^losed  leaves 
were  taken,  and  what  is  a  remedy  for 
the  trouble?  C.  E.  W.— N.  J. 


The  leaves  were  rotted  when  re- 
ceived. Probably  the  plants  have  some 
spot  or  leaf  disease,  brought  about  by 
tlae  recent  spell  of  damp,  sunless 
weather.  It  probably  will  pass  away 
with  clear  skies.  If  the  plants  are  out- 
doors, pick  over  the  worst  affected  ones 
and  spray  them  with  Bordeaux  mixture. 
The  same  treatment  will  help  plants 
still  under  glass.  Avoid  spraying  the 
plants  overhead  with  the  hose.  Give 
them  plenty  of  sun  and  fresh  air  and 
run  the  soil  a  little  on  the  dry  side.

GERANIUMS  FROM  CUTTINGS. 

I  should  like  to  have  what  informa- 
tion you  can  give  me  on  growing  gera- 
nium cuttings  for  the  wholesale  mar- 
ket. I  have  a  small  house  which  is  too 
low  for  tomatoes  or  cucumbers  and  I 
dislike  to  see  an  empty  house  now  or  at 
any  season  of  the  year.  I  have  no  local 
trade  in  cut  flowers.  Spring  bedding 
plants  and  lettuce  are  the  ero])S  I  grow. 

The  house  referred  to  is  10x60  and 
lias  a  sash  roof.  The  walls  contain  no 
glass.  The  beds  arc  fourteen  inches 
from  the  glass.  The  liouse  is  divided 
into  two  parts.  One  room  has  raised 
ground  beds;  the  other  has  benches. 
The  benched  room  has  one  more  run  of 
L'incli  pipe  and  has  a  temperature  of 
aliout  52  degrees,  5  degrees  higher  than 
ill  tlie  otlier  room.  I  am  building  a 
lean  to  in  which  I  will  liave  a  propagat- 
ing bench.  W.   R.  H.— Pa. 

The  house  you  speak  of  should  answer 
well  for  young  geranium  stock.  Cut- 
tings from  under  glass  are  less  succu- 
lent than  tliose  produced  outdoors  and 
for  that  reason  are  much  less  liable  to 
dam])  off.  A  temperature  of  48  to  50 
degrees  will  suit  the  geranium  stock 
and  '}  degrees  lower  on  cold  nights  will 
do   no  harm. 

Arrange  your  propagating  liouse  so 
that  tlie  heating  pipes  will  run  below 
the  benches  and  give  a  bottom  heat  of 
about  6(1  degrees.  Geraniums  will  cal- 
lous and  start  to  make  roots  witliin  a 
month  in  such  a  temperature.  The  tem- 
].craturo  of  tlie  propagating  house 
should  be  from  50  to  5.5  degrees.  You 
should  have  four  inches  of  clean,  sharp 
sand  in  the  benches,  entirely  free  from 
loam  and  other  dirt.  If  the  sand  is 
quite  line  and  water  does  not  pass  read- 
ily through  it,  you  can  make  it  more 
])orous  by  adding  some  fine  coal  or  coal 

ashes   to   it. 

As  soon  as  the  cuttings  liave  roots  an 
inch  long,  they  are  fit  for  2Vi-iiK'h  po^s. 
I  would  not  start  propagating  until  the 
end  of  August.  The  cooler  the  weather, 
the   less   liability   there  is   of    cuttings 


damping  off.  After  taking  a  crop  of 
cuttings  from  your  plants  outdoors,  lift 
the  plants  carefully  and  plant  them  in 
the  house,  placing  them  a  foot  apart 
each  way.  Better  reserve  at  least  one- 
half  of  the  house  to  be  used  for  your 
potted  plants  when  thev  are  rooted.

GERANIUMS  FOR  BASKETS. 

Can  you  tell  me  the  name  of  the 
geranium  of  which  I  am  sanding  you  a 
leaf  and  flower.  Should  I  buy  2-inch 
geranium  plants  now  to  make  good 
stock  for  hanging  baskets  next  Janu- 
ary? 


S.  L.  W.— O. 


It  is  Scarlet  Crousse,  of  the  ivy- 
leaved  type.  Yes,  purchase  the  plants 
at  once  and  plant  them  in  baskets  as 
soon  as  they  are  established  in  3-inch 
pots.  They  are  not  dependable  winter- 
flowering  subjects,  but  they  are  fine  in 
the  spring  and  summer.  C.  W. 


Roman  hyacinths,  which  usuall\  ar- 
rive from  France  about  the  end  oi'  Au- 
gust, are  easily  flowered  for  Christ  las. 
They  can  be  placed  in  flats  cental  ing 
four  and  one-half  to  five  inches  of  oil 
A  flat  12x24  inches  will  hold  fift  to 
sixty  bulbs.  These  will  flower  by  Cl.  ist- 
mas  in  a  night  temperature  of  55  de- 
grees. Keep  them  outdoors  or  in  a  pit 
and  cover  with  sand  or  coal  ashes  u  ,til 
they  are  well  started,  before  fore  ig. 
The  Dutch  hyacinths  cannot  be  su  is- 
factorily  flowered  as  early  as  Christ- 
mas. 

The  Due  van  Thol,  or  dwarf  vari  ty 
of  tulip,  can  be  flowered  for  Christiiias. 
White  Hawk  and  one  or  two  others  .ire 
also  seen  in  small  quantities  each  year. 
I  doubt,  however,  whether  there  is  much 
money  in  trying  to  force  tulips  thus 
early.  A  number  will  come  blind  i'lid 
others  will  be  so  short  as  to  be  of  little 
value.  French-grown  tulip  bulbs  ^ill 
bloom  earlier  than  Dutch,  if  you  can 
get  them.  When  forced,  these  early  tu- 
lips must  be  kept  dark  and  warm,  to 
draw  up  the  stems.  Give  them  nioiu 
lieht  as  the  flowers  start  to  expand.

I    THE  CONVENTION  PROGRAM 


FLORISTS'  HAIL  ASSOCIATION. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  directors  of  the 
Florists'  Hail  Association  at  Trenton, 
N.  J.,  June  8,  it  was  determined  to  re- 
new the  corporate  existence  of  the  asso- 
ciation for  a  further  period  of  thirty 
years,  in  accordance  with  the  laws  of 
New  Jersey.  Secretary  Esler  now  is 
notifying  the  stockholders  and  members 
that  final  action  will  be  taken  at  a  meet- 
ing to  be  held  at  the  Eobert  Treat  hotel 
at  Newark,  N.  J.,  at  10  a.  m.  August 
20,  the  day  preceding  the  opening  of 
the  S.  A.  F.  convention.  The  annual 
meeting  will  be  held  the  same  after- 
noon, at  the  same  place,  for  the  usual 
election  of  directors  and  other  business, 
which  will  include  the  consideration  of 
a  new  constitution  and  by-laws  drafted 
by  J.  A.  Valentine,  of  Denver. 


AMERICAN   CARNATION   SOCIETY. 

A  special  meeting  of  the  American 
Carnation  Society  will  be  held  in  New 
York  city  August  22  to  consider  recom- 
mendations from  the  board  of  directors 
on  a  proposition  which  provides  for 
financial  participation  by  the  Ameri- 
can Carnation  Society  in  the  next  Na- 
tional Flower  Show.  The  meeting  will 
be  held  in  the  S.  A.  F.  convention  hall 
at  4:30  p.  m.  on  that  date.  Please  ar- 
range to  be  present.

Excelsior  Springs,  Mo. — The  Bever 
Greenhouses,  leased  a  year  ago  by  L. 
R.  Bever  to  Poland  &  Hammond,  have 
again  been  taken  over  by  Mr.  Bever. 
He  is  having  his  houses  put  in  first- 
class  shape  and  will  have  a  fine  stock  of 
plants  and  flowers  for  the  next  season. 

Williamsbridge,  N.  Y.— The  Anglin  & 
Walsh  Co.  has  heard  with  pleasure  of 
the  safe  arrival  in  Porto  Rico  of  a  ship- 
ment of  rose  plants  to  Charles  S.  Hoff, 
an  American  sent  to  Porto  Rico  to  in- 
struct the  natives  in  agriculture  and 
floriculture.  The  mayor  of  San  Juan 
has  provided  a  strip  of  land  for  the 
purpose.  Having  made  a  start  in  agri- 
cultural matters,  Mr.  Hoff  and  his  as- 
sistants are  taking  up  floriculture,  ob- 
taining stock  from  well  known  trade 
firms  in  the  United  States. 


WHAT  is  probably  the  most  important  convention  in  the  history  of  the  So- 
ciety of  American  Florists  will  be  the  thirty-third  annual  gathering,  to  be 
held  in  New  York  City,  August  21  to  23.  The  war  and  its  effects  on  the 
florists'  business  will  be  the  principal  theme  of  discussion;  the  committee  on  storm 
damage  insurance,  for  which  the  State  Florists'  Association  of  Indiana  has  been 
working,  will  report,  and  there  will  be  action  on  the  proposal  to  let  the  directors 
elect  the  secretary.  The  discussion  of  the  war's  effect  on  business  will  un- 
doubtedly bring  out  opinions  as  to  the  future  conduct  of  the  trade  that  will  be  of 
value  to  every  florist  in  the  country.  The  convention  program  for  this  year  pro- 
vides for  but  three  days,  instead  of  four  as  formerly.  There  is  no  program  of 
entertainment,  but  New  York  city  is  the  great  amusement  resort  of  the  country  and 
the  theaters  and  show  places,  the  parks  and  other  places  of  interest,  together  with 
the  sea  shore  resorts  nearby,  to  say  nothing  of  the  large  number  of  trade  estab- 
lishments, will  give  those  who  attend  plenty  to  do. 

The  Grand  Central  Palace  will  be  the  scene  of  the  convention  and  the  head- 
quarters for  the  trade.  i

The  Florists^  Review 


•   JuLT  26,  1917. 


FROM  FIELD  TO  BENCH. 


Position  of  Different  Varieties. 

On  account  of  the  abnormally  cool 
weather  this  summer,  carnations  have 
kept  up  in  quality  unusually  well,  and 
many  growers  have  been  slower  than 
usual  to  throw  out  the  old  stock  to  make 
room  for  the  new.  There  has  been  a 
good  profit  in  the  blooms,  too,  for  the 
season,  and  that  has  added  to  the  incli- 
nation to  hold  on.  Not  much  more  time 
should  be  lost  now,  however,  in  getting 
ready  for  the  new  stock;  otherwise  the 
new  plants  will  be  late  in  getting  into 
form  next  fall,  and  the  grower  may  lose 
more  than  he  gained  by  holding  the  old 
plants.  As  stated  in  previous  notes, 
there  is  nothing  gained  by  dilly-dally- 
ing along  with  the  bench  filling,  and 
the  later  it  becomes  the  truer  this  is. 
Put  on  every  man  you  can  and  rush  it 
through. 

You  should  give  a  little  thought  to 
the  placing  of  your  varieties.  Every 
greenhouse  range  has  portions  that  run 
warmer  during  the  firing  season  than 
others,  and  by  planting  the  stiffer- 
stemmed  sorts  in  the  warmer  locations 
you  will  have  less  trouble  with  weak 
stems  next  winter.  We  find  that  Mrs. 
Ward  will  stand  three  or  four  degrees 
more  of  warmth  than  White  Wonder, 
without  affecting  the  stem.  All  the  En- 
chantress varieties  like  a  cool  tempera- 
ture, while  Beacon  and  St.  Nicholas  will 
thrive  in  the  warmer  end.  Yellow 
Prince,  too,  will  stand  54  degrees  with- 
out complaining.  The  same  is  true  of 
Merry  Christmas. 

Shade,  Soil  and  Watering. 

The  abundant  rainfall  has  kept  the 
field  soil  in  splendid  condition  for  dig- 
ging. Never  before  have  the  plants 
come  up  with  such  a  fine  root  system  as 
this  year,  and  this  should  be  of  great 
assistance  to  the  plants  in  becoming  re- 
established in  the  benches.  So  far  we 
have  added  but  little  to  the  shade  which 
was  on  the  glass  before  the  old  plants 
were  taken  out,  merely  touching  up 
the  light  spots  where  the  rain  had 
washed  off  part  of  the  shading.  We  find 
that  the  less  shade  we  can  get  along 
with,  the  better  it  is  for  the  plants.  It 
requires  closer  attention  during  the  first 
three  or  four  days,  but  the  plants  come 
through  the  ordeal  in  better  condition. 

Be  sure  the  soil  is  in  a  proper  state 
of  moisture  before  you  begin  planting. 
It  should,  of  course,  not  be  wet  enough 
to  pack  unduly  when  the  planting  is 
done,  but  it  should  be  moist  enough  not 
to  draw  the  moisture  from  the  roots 
of  the  plants  between  the  time  of  plant- 
ing and  the  first  watering.  After  set- 
ting a  few  hundred  plants,  turn  the 
water  on  slowly  and  water  each  plant  in 
well.  Of  late  years  we  have  watered 
more  heavily  at  the  first  watering  than 
we  formerly  did,  when  we  applied  more 
shade  to  the  glass.    We  find  that  under 


the  increased  light  the  soil  keeps  in 
better  condition,  even  with  the  heavier 
watering,  and  the  young  rootlets  take 
hold  much  more  quickly,  too.  After  the 
first  watering,  little  more  is  applied  to 
the  soil,  aside  from  that  which  drops  at 
the  time  of  spraying  overhead.  This, 
too,  is  gauged  by  the  condition  of  the 
plants  and  is  diminished  as  rapidly  as 
the  plants  will  allow.  We  do,  however, 
keep  the  walks  flooded  well  for  about 
ten  days  and  find  it  a  great  help  in  pre- 
venting flagging. 

Spacing  and  Depth  of  Planting. 

The  distance  between  your  plants  in 
the  benches  will  be  gauged  by  the  va- 
rieties and  the  size  of  your  plants.  Such 
varieties  as  Victory  and  Gloriosa  do  not 
need  so  much  room  per  plant  as  Beacon, 
White  Wonder  and  the  Enchantress  va- 
rieties. You  may  either  plant  the  form- 
er varieties  singly,  and  plant  more 
closely,  or  you  may  put  two  or  three 
plants  together  and  set  them  at  the  reg- 
ular distances.  We  plant  seven  plants 
across  a  5-foot  bench  and  set  the  rows 
not  less  than  ten,  nor  more  than  twelve, 
inches  apart,  for  the  average  run  of  va- 
rieties.    Be  careful  about  getting  your 


j^*^' 


rows  straight,  for  the  sake  of  the  sup- 
porting later  on. 

Much  has  been  said  in  the  past  about 
deep  and  shallow  planting.  In  my  opin- 
ion  both  can  be  overdone.  By  plantin'^' 
too  deeply  you  will  encourage  stem-rof, 
especially  if  the  plants  are  branched 
rather  low.  If  you  plant  too  shallowly, 
the  plants  will  not  stand  up,  an-l 
you  will  have  trouble  with  your  suji- 
ports.  We  try  to  set  every  plant  just 
deep  enough  so  that  it  will  stand  U]» 
after  the  soil  has  been  pressed  around 
the  roots,  and  that  should  be  just  aboul 
as  deep  as  they  were  set  in  the  field. 
There  should  be  no  need  to  mention  that 
the  plants  should  be  out  of  the  soil  aa 
short  a  time  as  possible.  Keep  the  dig- 
ging and  the  planting  going  at  about 
the  same  gait.  A.  F.  J.  Baur. 


Council  Bluffs,  la. — The  Gardiner  Flo- 
ral Co.  has  purchased  the  retail  store  of 
Herman  Bros,  at  10  Pearl  street  and 
announces  that  it  will  continue  the 
business  at  that  address.  The  company 
is  composed  of  John  S.  Gardiner,  Louise 
Herman  and  Pauline  Herman. 

Mechanicsburg,  O. — The  newspapers 
hereabouts  have  a  style  all  their  own  in 
boosting  the  local  industries.  The  "per- 
sonal" items  in  one  of  them,  for  in- 
stance, are  charged  with  the  power  of 
publicity,  C.  M.  Jack,  the  local  florist, 
recently  making  the  column  in  this  man- 
ner: "C.  M.  Jack,  the  greenhouseman, 
has  a  fine  batch  of  sturdy  plants  that  so 
far  have  dodged  the  'high  cost,'  and 
the  good  man  is  doing  his  best  to  anchor 
fair  prices,  while  everyone  else  is  sky- 
larking with  the  consumers'  cash." 
Hurrah  for  the  power  of  the  press!

Centerdale,  R.  I. — Mrs.  Euth  A. 
Mowry  has  purchased  a  greenhouse  of 
W.  Eitchie,  of  the  Lincoln  Park  Green- 
houses, Hillsgrove,  and  has  been  busy 
putting  out  bedding  stock. 

Springfield,  Mass. — L.  D.  Eobinson 
has  several  thousand  bulbs  saved,  so  he 
will  be  in  fair  shape  for  next  season. 
Large  cuts  of  outdoor  blooms  are  being 
received  at  the  store  from  the  nursery. 

Brockton,  Mass. — According  to  the 
sign,  they  are  the  Central  Greenhouses, 
but  an  inquiry  for  the  boss  will  bring 
out  none  other  than  A.  L.  Lothrop, 
whose  activities  have  been  recorded  at 
other  times  at  other  places. 

Framingham,  Mass. — James  Butter- 
worth  has  something  interesting  in  or- 
chids at  all  seasons.  The  stock  is  in 
its  usual  vigorous  condition,  with  prom- 
ise of  abundant  blooms  later  on,  when 
the  market  will  be  in  a  more  apprecia- 
tive condition. 

Springfield,  Mass. — William  Schlatter 
&  Son  are  remodeling  their  store.  They 
are  stimulating  summer  business  in 
decorative  stock  by  making  special  of- 
fers in  palms.  It  is  a  good  idea,  for  it 
cleans  out  the  old  stock  and  makes  room 
for  a  new  line. 


Westerly,  R.  I. — Conrad  Schultz  was 
in  Providence  and  Boston  last  week  on 
business.  Mr.  Schultz  is  making  a  drive 
on  cyrtomium  ferns. 

Peabody,  Mass.— J.  M.  Ward  &  Co. 
expressed  themselves  well  pleased  with 
business.  Cyclamens,  always  good  sell- 
ers with  them,  are  doing  splendidly. 

Pittsfield,  Mass. — The  new  seed  store 
of  Frank  Howard  is  conceded  to  be  an 
ornament  to  the  town.  It  is  both  hand- 
some in  appearance  and  complete  in  ar- 
rangement. 

Westerly,  R.  I. — Mark  A.  Cassidy, 
superintendent  of  school  garden  work, 
who  was  seriously  injured  about  a  month 
ago  by  the  overturning  of  an  automo- 
bile, returned  to  his  duties  last  week. 

Northampton,  Mass.  —  The  regular 
meeting  of  the  Holyoke  and  Northamp- 
ton Florists'  and  Gardeners'  Club  was 
held  July  10  at  Smith  College  Botanic 
Garden,  with  a  good  number  of  members 
in  attendance.  The  hardy  perennial 
garden  was  the  most  attractive  feature 
on  this  occasion,  there  being  nearly  100 
different  varieties  in  flowers.  D.  J.  Gal- 
livan  read  a  paper  on  table  decorations. 
The  only  exhibit  was  well  grown  Japan- 
ese iris  in  variety  from  Gallivan  Bros.

How^  R.  Vincentt  Jr.>  &  Sons  Co.t  White  Marsh,  Md.>  Beat  the  High  Cost  of  Labor  in  Planting  Acres  of  Dahlias. 


PLANTING  OUT  BY  MACHINERY. 

Because  of  the  scarcity  and  increased 
cost  of  labor,  machines  are  taking  the 
places  of  men  on  the  E.  Vincent,  J".,  & 
Sons  Co.  place  at  White  Marsh,  Md. 
Plowing  is  done  by  tractor,  while  a 
planting  machine  is  used  to  plant  out  in 
tlie  field.  The  tractor  and  planting 
machine  in  operation  are  shown  in  the 
accompanying  illustrations. 

It  was  to  meet  the  labor  conditions 
that  the  Vincent  company  experimented 
witii  the  machines.  It  was  discovered 
that  with  the  tractor  one  man  can  do 
the  work  of  three  men  and  ten  horses. 
Three  men  and  the  planting  machine 
can  accomplish  as  much  in  a  day  as  six 
or  seven  men. 

The  soil  is  prepared  for  planting  by 
disk  harrows  drawn  by  the  tractor.  The 
planter  is  of  the  same  type  that  is  used 
for  planting  out  vegetables,  tobacco  and 
other  plants  with  the  exception  that  for 
tlie  plants  named  there  is  a  barrel  of 
water  carried  and  a  little  is  dropped  at 
the  root  of  each  plant.  For  flower 
plants,  the  barrel  is  removed  and  a  plat- 
form installed.  "We  can  plant  with 
this  machine  about  20,000  2-inch  pot 
dahlia  plants  and  the  same  quantity  of 
3-inch  pot  canna  plants,"  declares  Mr. 
Vincent. 


THEIPS  IN  HOUSE  AND  FIELD. 

I  am  having  trouble  with  thrips  on 
gladioli  outdoors  and  in  two  houses, 
one  used  for  sweet  peas  and  the  other 
tor  carnations.  I  am  anxious  to  get  the 
jiests  cleaned  out  before  the  new  crop 
of  peas  is  planted.  I  do  not  know 
whether  these  are  like  the  thrips  in  the 
fast.  The  young  ones  are  straw- 
colored  and  cannot  jump  far.  The 
mature  insects  are  black  and  about 
one-eighth  of  an  inch  long,  and 
'•an  jump  fast.  I  have  two  beds  of  Bon- 
iiaffon  mums  in  the  sweet  pea  house  and 
these  insects  are  on  them  also.  I  am 
spraying  with  Nico-Fume  twice  a  week, 
syringing  with  strong  pressure  twice  a 
'>ay  and  keeping  the  ground  stirred. 
This  does  not  seem  to  help.  Will  Paris 
green  or  arsenate  of  lead  help  and  at 
"what  strength  is  it  safe  to  use  these  in- 
Joors?  Will  fumigating  with  tobacco 
stems  help?  The  thrips  are  much  worse 
outdoors  than  in  the  houses. 

V.  G.— Mo. 


Do  not  use  Paris  green  alone.  It  will 
not  kill  the  pests  and  will  probably  burn 
the  foliage.  Neither  will  arsenate  of 
lead  prove  effective  in  itself  and  it 
disfigures  foliage  badly.  Tobacco  stem 
fumigation  I  have  little  faith  in. 
C.  W. 

A  FAILURE  WITH  BEGONIAS. 

I  have  had  a  failure  with  tuberous 
begonias  and  should  like  to  get  some 
suggestions  as  to  the  probable  cause. 
The  tubers  were  started  in  flats  in  Feb- 
ruary and  made  a  fine  growth  at  first, 
but  since  they  were  moved  from  4-inch 
pots  into  5-inch  and  6-inch  pots  to  flower 
they  have  been  going  down  steadily. 
The  root  action  is  poor.  The  flowers 
wither  as  soon  as  they  open  and  the 
plants  have  a  sickly  apeparance,  with 
sometimes  a  branch  or  leaf-stem  rot- 
ting. The  soil  used  was  such  as  we 
grow  coleus  in,  consisting  of  one  part 
leaf-mold,  one  part  rotted  manure  and 
three  parts  old  compost  from  the  sweet 
pea  beds.  The  soil  is  clay.  Was  this 
too  light  and  rich  for  the  final  potting? 
The  plants  are  in  a  shaded  house.  The 
ventilation  is  not  first-class  and  the 
temperature  runs  from  90  to  100  de- 
grees in  the  daytime,  with  about  60  de- 
grees at  night.  Would  a  cooler  house 
suit  them  better  and  should  they  be  car- 
ried wet  or  on  the  dry  side?  Does  wet- 
ting the  foliage  on  bright  days  harm 
them?  V.  G.— Mo. 


wallias,  lavateras,  Scilla  sibirica,  pusch- 
kinias.  Anemone  Giant  St.  Brigid,  Al- 
lium neapolitanum  grandiflorum. 

L.  A.  W.— Miss. 


Your  soil  was  not  of  the  best  for 
tuberous  begonias.  If  you  would  leave 
out  the  leaf -mold  at  the  last  potting  and 
use  one  part  old,  decayed  cow  or  horse 
manure  and  three  parts  well  rotted  and 
broken  up  sod,  with  some  coarse  sand 
and  broken  charcoal  added  where  the 
loam  is  of  a  clayey,  retentive  nature, 
your  plants  would  do  much  better.  How- 
ever, I  think  you  have  grown  them  much 
too  warm  and  close.  These  begonias 
need  some  shade  and  should  not  be 
syringed  overhead  at  all.  They  want  a 
cool  and  well  ventilated  house  and  the 
shade  must  not  be  heavy.  Allow  them 
to  dry  out  fairly  well  between  the 
waterings,  but  never  let  them  become 
anything  like  dust-dry.  Feed  well  with 
liquid  manure  when  the  pots  are  well 
filled  with  roots,  C.  W. 


Try  spraying  with  a  mixture  of  one 
pound  of  Paris  green,  100  gallons  of 
water  and  twenty  pounds  of  brown 
sugar.    I  have  found  this  quite  effective. 


PLANTS  FOR  CHRISTMAS  BLOOMS. 

I  would  like  to  have  some  plants  in 
bloom  at  Christmas  and  want  to  know 
when  to  plant  and  when  to  expect 
blooms  of  the  flowers:     Godetias,  bro- 


You  cannot  flower  Scilla  sibirica, 
Puschkinia  libanotica,  Anemone  St. 
Brigid,  Allium  neapolitanum  and  lava- 
teras for  Christmas.  Browallias,  if 
sown  now,  can  be  flowered  at  that  time, 
and  godetias  sown  early  in  August  and 
grown  as  cool  as  possible  can  be 
flowered  for  the  holidays.  None  of  the 
plants  you  name  will  prove  of  much 
value  for  the  holidaj^s.  Godetias,  even 
if  you  can  flower  them,  are  likely  to  be 
in  poor  condition  during  the  darkest 
period  of  the  year.  C.  W. 

SMILAX  THE  THIRD  YEAR. 

Will  smilax  plants  do  well  the  third 
year,  providing  they  are  cleaned  and 
transplanted  into  new  soil?  The  plants 
are  doing  splendidly,  sending  up  a  fine 
batch  of  new  shoots.  C.  A. — Pa. 


Smilax  may  be  grown  for  three  years 
in  the  same  bed  if  the  plants  remain  in 
good  condition,  and  probably  will  give 
better  results  without  replanting.  Ke- 
move  the  rubbish  from  the  surface  of 
the  bed  and  the  dead  growth  from  the 
plants;  then  give  the  plants  a  good  top- 
dressing,  with  the  compost  consisting  of 
one  part  soil  and  one  part  cow  manure. 

Syringe  the  plants  regularly  and 
water  them  moderately  until  the  growth 
gets  a  start.  After  this  season  it  would 
be  safer  to  dig  out  the  bed,  refill  it  with 
new  soil  and  plant  with  strong,  young 
plants  from  3-inch  pots.         W.  H.  T. 

OLEANDER  FOLIAGE  BURNED. 

I  am  enclosing  some  oleander  leaves 
and  would  like  to  have  you  tell  me  the 
cause  of  their  condition. 

C.  E.  W.— N.  J. 


This  condition  may  be  due  to  the 
plants  having  been  kept  too  dry  while 
in  winter  storage.  If  you  water  the 
plants  abundantly,  feed  them  with 
liquid  manure  or  top-dress  them  and 
syringe  them  freely,  they  will  soon 
make  abundant  new  growth.       C.  W. 

Peoria,  HI. — The  continued  advance 
of  prices  of  materials  has  caused  the 
florists  of  Peoria  to  form  an  organiza- 
tion for  the  purpose  of  pooling  their 
purchases  in  the  future.  Plans  for  the 
cooperative  buying  were  completed  at 
a  meeting  last  week  at  the  Siebenthal  & 
Nelson  store.

You  should  uive  a  little  thoujjht  to 
the  ]ilacin<r  nt'  your  varieties.  Kvery 
greenhouse  range  has  j'ortions  that  run 
warmer  during  the  tiring  season  than 
others,  and  liy  planting  the  stiffer- 
stemmed  sorts  in  the  warmer  locations 
you  will  lia\e  less  l  rouble  with  \ve;ik

Prince,  too.  will  stand  ot  degrees  Avith- 
oiit  coiniiiainiiiL;.  The  same  is  true;  of 
Meny    < 'liiist  nia^. 

Shade,  Soil  and  Watering. 

The  abiiiolant  rainl'.-ill  li;is  kept  the 
field  soil  in  sjihMidid  coiulition  i'ov  dig 
ging.  Xe\-ei-  bi't'ore  Ii;i\'e  the  jdants 
come  u|>  \\itli  such  a  fine  root  system  as 
this  year,  and  this  should  be  of  great 
assistance  to  the  plants  in  becoming  re- 
est  a  bl  i'-heij  ill  the  bellidies.  So  far  We 
ha\e  .adtled  but  little  to  the  shade  wliicli 
was  on  the  glass  b(>fore  \]\o  old  jilants 
were  taken  out,  inendy  touching  up 
the  light  spots  where  the  rain  liail 
washed  oil'  part  ol'  the  shading.  N\'e  lind 
that  the  less  shade  we  c;iii  get  .along 
with,  the  better  it  is  for  the  plants.  It 
requires  closer  attention  during  the  first 
three  or  fcuir  d.ays.  but  the  jilants  c(»nie 
through   the   orde.al    in   better  <'ondition. 

Be  sure  the  soil  is  in  a  ]iro|ier  state 
of  moisture  beldrc  you  begin  planting. 
It  should,  of  course,  not  be  wet  enough 
to  pa(dv  unduly  when  the  phanting  is 
done,  b\it  it  should  be  moist  enough  not 
to  draw  the  nudsture  from  the  roots 
of  the  jdants  between  the  time  of  ]dant- 
ing  and  the  first  watering.  After  set- 
ting a  few  hundred  plants,  turn  the 
water  (ui  slow  ly  and  water  each  jd.ant  in 
well.  Of  late  years  we  have  watered 
more  heavily  at  the  first  watering  than 
we  formerly  did,  when  we  ajtjdied  more 
shade  to  the  glass.     We  find  that  under 


the  increased  light  the  soil  keeps  in 
better  condition,  even  with  the  heavier 
watering,  and  the  young  rootlets  take 
hold  much  more  (piickly,  too.  After  the 
first  Avatering,  little  more  is  api)licd  to 
tlie  soil,  aside  from  that  wliicli  drops  at 
the  time  of  spraying  overhead.  This, 
too,  is  gauged  by  the  conditimi  of  the 
■I)lants  and  is  diminished  as  rapidly  as 
the  plants  will  allow.  We  do,  however, 
keej)  the  walks  flooded  well  for  about 
ten  days  and  find  it  a  great  help  in  pre- 
venting flagging. 

Spacing  and  Depth  of  Planting. 

The  distance  between  your  ]dants  in 
the  benches  will  be  gauged  liy  the  va- 
rieties and  the  size  of  your  ])lants.  Such 
\arieties  as  Victory  and  (dorios.a  do  not 
need  so  much  room  per  plant  as  P.eacon, 
White  Wonder  and  the  Kiudiantress  v;i- 
rieties.  You  may  either  ]i]ant  tlie  form- 
er varieties  singly,  and  ])lant  more 
closcdy,  or  you  m.'iy  jiut  two  or  three 
Jilants  together  and  set  them  at  the  reg- 
ular distances.  We  plant  seven  plants 
across  a  5-foot  bench  and  set  the  rows 
not  less  than  ten,  nor  more  than  twelve, 
inches  apart,  for  the  average  run  of  va- 
rieties.    liQ  careful  atjout  getting   vour 


rows  straight,  for  the  sake  of  the  su; 
porting  later  on. 

Much  has  been  said  in  the  past  abo 
deep  and  shallow  planting.    In  my  opi 
ion  both  can  be  overdone.     By  jdantii 
too  (leej)ly  you  will  encourage  stem-ro 
especially    if    the    jilants    are    branch- 
rather  low.     If  you  jilant  too  shallow! 
the     jdants     will     not     stand     up,     an 
you  will   have   trouble    with   your   su; 
ports.     We  try  to  set  every  plant  ju> 
deep  enough   so   that   it  will    stand   u 
after  the  soil   has  been  jtrossed  arouti 
the  roots,  and  that  should  bo  ,just  aboi 
as  deep   as   they  were  set   in   the  fieL 
Thore  should  be  no  need  to  mention  tli;i 
the  plants  should  be  out  of  the  soil  a 
short  a  time  as  jiossible.     Keep  the  diL 
ging   and   the   planting   going   at   abou 


the  same  gait.

THRIPS  IN  HOUSE  AND  FIELD. 

I  am  having  trouide  with  thrips  on 
. 'adioli    outdoors    and    in    two    houses, 

lie  used   for  sweet   pe.'is  and   the  other 

'    r  carnations.     1  am  anxious  to  get  the 

'    --ts  cleaned  out  before  the  new  crop 

I)eas    is    planted.       I    do    not    know 

'hether  these  are  like  the  thrips  in  the 

:ist.      The      young      ones      are      straw- 

dored     and    cannot     jump    far.      The 

iiture    insects    are    black    and    about 

■le  eighth      of      an       inch      long,      and 

II  jump  fast.     I  ha\e  two  lieds  of  Bon- 
ift'ou  mums  in  the  sweet  pea  house  and 

iese   insects   are   on   them   also.      I   am 
^raying  Avith  Nico-Fume  twice  a  week, 
ringing  with   strong  pressure   twice  a

hat  strength  is  it  safe  to  use  these  in- 
doors?     Will    fumigating   with    tobacco 
terns  help?     The  tlirips  are  much  worse 
utdoors   than   in   the   lu)uses. 

V.  (1.— Mo. 


l>o  not  use  I'aris  green  alone,  it  will 
not  kill  the  pests  and  will  probably  burn 
the  f<diage.  Neither  will  arsenate  of 
lead  jirove  effective  in  itself  and  it 
disfigures  foliage  badly.  Tobacco  stem 
fumigation    I    have    little    faith    in.

A  FAILURE   WITH  BEGONIAS. 

I  have  had  a  failure  with  tuberous 
begonias  and  should  like  to  g(!t  some 
suggestions  as  tt)  the  piobalde  cause. 
The  tubers  were  startecl  in  flats  in  Feb- 
ruary and  made  a  fine  growth  at  first, 
but  since  they  were  moved  from  4-inch 
]>ots  into  ri-incli  and  (Mnidi  pots  to  flower 
they  have  been  going  down  steadily. 
The  root  action  is  jioor.  The  flowers 
wither  as  soon  as  they  open  and  the 
]dants  have  a  sickly  apeparance,  with 
sdmetimes  a  branch  or  leaf  stem  rot- 
ting. The  soil  us(>d  was  such  as  we 
grow  coleus  in,  consisting  of  one  part 
leaf-mold,  one  ])art  rotted  manure  and 
three  i>arts  old  compost  from  the  sweet 
pea  beds.  The  s(ul  is  clay.  Was  this 
loo  light  and  rich  for  tlie  final  potting? 
The  plants  arc  in  a  shaded  house.  The 
viMitilation  is  not  first-class  and  the 
temperature  runs  from  90  to  100  de 
grees  in  the  daytime,  with  alxHit  (50  de- 
grees at  night.  Would  a  cooler  house 
suit  them  better  and  slio\ild  they  be  car- 
ried wet  or  on  the  dry  side?  Does  wet- 
ting the  foliage  on  liright  days  harm 
them.^  V.  C — Mo. 


Try  spraying   with  a  mixture   of  one 

.'ound  of    I'aris    green,    1<'0    gallons    of 

'•^ater  and    twenty     pounds     of    brown 

'  ugar.  J  have  found  this  quite  effective. 


Your  soil  was  not  of  the  best  for 
tuberous  begonias.  If  you  would  leave 
out  the  leaf-mold  at  the  last  potting  and 
use  one  part  old,  deca.\('(|  cow  or  horse 
manure  and  thri'e  parts  W(  II  rotted  and 
broken  up  sod,  with  some  coarse  sand 
and  broken  charcoal  added  where  the 
loam  is  of  a  clayey,  retentive  nature, 
your  jdants  would  do  much  better.  How- 
ever, I  think  you  have  grown  them  much 
too  warm  and  close.  These  begonias 
need  some  shade  and  should  not  be 
syringed  overhead  at  all.  They  want  a 
(■Old  and  well  \entiiate(l  house  and  the 
shade  must  not  be  hea\y.  .\ilow  them

The  Florists^  Review 


July  26,  1917. 


VEGETABLES  AND 
FRUITS  DEPARTMENT  i 

BLOSSOM-END   BOT. 

Will  you  tell  me  what  causes  tomatoes 
under  glass  to  be  affected  with  a  hard 
rot  on  the  under  side! 

T.  H.  G.— N.  Y. 


This  is  usually  caused  by  a  deficiency 
of  moisture  in  the  benches  when  the 
plants  are  setting.  Air  freely  and  keep 
the  soil  somewhat  more  moist.  Also 
cut  away  all  needless  shoots  and  shorten 
back  any  leaves  which  cover  the 
bunches  too  much.  C.  W. 


ONIONS  UNDER  GLASS. 

Can  onions  be  grown  from  seed  under 
glass?  If  so,  what  strain  of  seed  should 
be  used  and  about  what  time  should  a 
crop,  from  seed  sown  now,  be  ready  for 
the  market?  What  kind  of  fertilizer 
is  best  for  them?  With  what  vegetables 
would  a  florist  be  likely  to  have  the 
best  success  under  glass? 

T.  H.  G.— N.  Y. 


Onions  can  be  grown  under  glass,  but 
would  hardly  prove  to  be  a  paying  crop 
and  certainly  not  at  this  hot  season. 
They  start  best  in  cool  weather.  They 
need  a  strong  soil,  containing  plenty  of 
well  rotted  manure.  The  best  time  for 
you  to  start  these  for  an  early  crop 
would  be  in  December  or  January,  and 
for  an  indoor  crop  yellow  sets  would 
prove  much  more  satisfactory  than 
seeds,  as  the  sets  make  bulbs  more 
quickly. 

As  a  summer  crop,  tomatoes  and  cu- 
cumbers are  the  most  profitable  to  grow, 
while  in  winter  lettuces  have  first  call, 
with  a  demand  toward  spring  for  rad- 
ishes, beets  and  carrots.  C.  W. 


PITTSBURGH,   PA. 


The  Maxket. 

Real  summer  weather  during  the  last 
week  brought  real  summer  business, 
consisting  mostly  of  funeral  orders. 
Wholesalers  and  retailers  are  having 
a  quiet  time  and  appear  glad  of  a  rest 
after  a  strenuous  season.  There  has 
been  no  scarcity  of  any  kind  of  stock. 

Vaxious  Notes. 

Members  of  the  trade  in  Pittsburgh, 
or  a  majority  of  those  who  were  eligi- 
ble for  draft,  had  numbers  which  were 
drawn  toward  the  end  and  in  conse- 
quence will  not  be  among  the  first  to 
be  called  into  service. 

The  florists  and  gardeners  still  are 
talking  about  the  automobile  outing  of 
the  Pittsburgh  Florists'  Club  July  18. 
More  than  100  enjoyed  the  luncheon 
served  by  Mrs.  C.  A.  Armstrong  in  the 
garage  at  her  place.  Wives  of  garden- 
ers assisted  the  commissary  committee. 
At  the  Allegheny  cemetery,  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  William  Falconer  had  lemonade 
and  cakes  for  the  tourists.  These  re- 
freshments had  just  been  finished  when 
a  storm  drove  everyone  to  shelter.  It 
was  one  of  the  most  enjoyable  days 
the  florists  of  Pittsburgh  ever  have 
experienced. 


Albert  F.  Vick,  of  the  Pittsburgh  Cut 
Flower  Co.,  is  spending  his  vacation 
at  Buffalo  and  nearby  points  in  Canada.

W.  H.  B3JUIJ,  GOES  TO  WAR. 

When  President  Wilson  issued  his 
call  for  young  men  to  come  forward  for 
service  during  the  war,  one  of  the  first 
in  the  florists'  trade  to  respond  was 
William  H.  Knull,  of  the  Knull  Floral 
Co.,  Tampa,  Fla.,  who  enlisted  in  the 
army  medical  corps.  As  can  plainly  be 
seen  by  the  accompanying  portrait,  Mr. 
Knull  is  of  the  type  of  young  Americans 
who  are  certain  to  give  a  good  account 
of  themselves  in  the  service. 

Mr.  Knull  is  of  the  third  generation 
of  the  family  in  the  florists'  business. 
His  father,  F.  A.  Knull,  was  one  of  the 
pioneers  in  the  business  in  Tampa  and 
his  grandfather  is  William  Terrell,  of 
William  Terrell  &  Son,  owners  of  a 
greenhouse  range  at  Warsaw,  Ind. 

The  Knull  Floral  Co.  has  a  range  of 
greenhouses  at  Twenty-seventh  and  Ne- 


William  H.  Knull. 

braska  avenues,  Tampa,  and  a  retail 
store  at  406  Tampa  street.  Young  Mr. 
Knull  was  manager  of  the  latter  during 
the  two  years  previous  to  his  enlist- 
ment. 

As  The  Review  has  pointed  out,  the 
war  is  certain  to  take  many  young  men 
from  the  florists'  trade.  So  that  the 
other  members  of  the  trade  may  be  kept 
informed  about  them,  Tlie  Review  will 
be  glad  to  publish  their  names.  Send 
them  in. 

Chicopee  Falls,  Mass. — Frank  Burfitt 
is  touching  up  his  snug  range,  doing 
what  many  overlook;  namely,  painting 
up  before  planting.  The  man  wielding 
the  brush  should  not  be  compelled  to 
"watch  his  step"  among  the  plants. 

Salem,  Mass. — W.  T.  Walke  says  no 
grower,  either  of  plants  or  cut  flowers, 
will  have  a  walkover  next  season.  He 
sees  the  small  grower  squeezed  tighter 
and  the  stronger  one  making  stronger 
bids  for  business.  A  batch  of  cyclamens 
in  5-inch  pots,  in  perfect  health,  was 
noted;  also  the  absence  of  the  usual 
house  of  begonias.  The  idea  seems  to 
be  to  grow  stock  that  will  thrive  in  a 
low  temperature. 


HAIL  H4V0C 


North  Vernon,  Ind. — The  second  liail 
storm  in  two  months  struck  the  green- 
house range  of  Warren  Huckleberry 
July  13.  Mr.  Huckleberry  lost  2,800  feet 
of  glass.  May  26  hail  destroyed  5,000 
feet  of  glass  on  the  same  range. 

Waukegan,  IlL — A  hail  storm  July 
13  broke  800  panes  of  glass  and  de- 
stroyed $100  worth  of  cannas  on  the 
place  of  Theodore  Meyer  and  did  con- 
siderable damage  to  the  greenhouses  of 
M.  P.  Dilger.  No  hail  fell  in  the  vicin- 
ity of  the  L.  Potter  &  Son  place. 


HAIL  AT  ANDERSON,  IND. 

Anderson  was  visited  by  a  hail  storm 
July  13.  Hundreds  of  panes  of  glass  in 
greenhouses  were  destroyed  and  much 
damage  was  done  to  stock  in  the  fields. 
Those  who  suffered  were  B.  H.  Klus  & 
Son,  J.  S.  Stuart  &  Son,  W.  W.  Leather- 
man  and  Williams  &  Matthews.  The 
Farmer  range,  used  by  Klur  &  Son,  also 
was  severely  damaged. 

Williams  &  Matthews  lost  about  2,000 
panes  of  glass;  Klus  &  Son  and  the 
Farmer  range  about  4,000;  Stuart  &  Sou 
about  1,200  and  D.  W.  Leatherman 
about  1,000.  Glass  on  the  south  side  of 
the  Williams  &  Matthews  houses  was 
undamaged,  not  a  single  pane  being 
broken.  Mr.  Leatherman 's  money  loss 
was  estimated  at  $300  on  his  range  and 
$20  on  his  dwelling.  Stuart  &  Son's 
loss  was  estimated  at  about  the  same 
amount.  Crops  in  many  places  north 
and  south  of  Anderson  were  ruined. 

Only  a  small  part  of  the  loss  was  cov- 
ered by  insurance. 


MINNEAPOLIS,  MINN. 


The  Market. 

Much  heat,  much  rain  and  some  hail 
have  played  havoc  with  outdoor  stock, 
bringing  ruin  to  many  of  the  sweet  peas, 
delphiniums  and  other  flowers.  Busi- 
ness is  quiet,  with  funeral  work  the 
mainstay.  There  is  an  abundance  of 
Easter  lilies,  and  as  a  result  the  quota- 
tions are  as  low  as  $4  and  $5.  They 
move  well,  however,  principally  in  fu- 
neral work.  Outdoor  flowers  are  plenti- 
ful, but  serve  their  purpose  well  in  dec- 
orations. Good  roses  arrive  from  the 
east,  including  American  Beauties  and 
Russells  of  the  finest  quality,  while  the 
local  growers  are  strong  on  valuable 
short-stemmed  blooms,  such  as  Kaiserin, 
Ward  and  Maryland. 

Various  Notes. 

Things  have  been  quiet  at  the  Whit- 
ted  Floral  Co.  stores,  as  is  to  be  ex- 
pected, although  funeral  work  has  kept 
the  force  occupied. 

Fine  gladioli,  sweet  peas,  daisies  and 
gypsophilas  are  being  brought  to  the 
market  from   the  Franklin  Nursery. 

William  F.  Holmes  is  particularly 
proud  of  a  fine  batch  of  pandanus. 

Some  of  the  finest  short-stemmed  roses 
seen  in  the  city  are  the  product  of  the 
Minneapolis  Floral  Co.  E.  M.  P. 


Worcester,  Mass. — The  Ross  Bros.  Co. 
has  had  a  banner  seed  and  implement 
business.

Mrs.  D.  Hanuah. 

Mrs.  Dundel  Hannah,  wife  of  H.  O. 
fi.unah,  of  Sherman,  Tex.,  died  July  9, 
10  7.  The  decedent  was  a  practical  flo- 
rist and  during  the  last  ten  years  spe- 
ei;;]lzed  in  decorative  work,  in  which 
ji,  r  skill  was  second  to  none.  She

tlie  trade  and  had  many  friends  in  the 
eastern  cities.  Interment  was  at  Ken- 
sico  cemetery,  New  York,  July  24. 


NEW  YORK. 


The  Market. 

A  week  of  intense  heat,  with  occa- 
sional showers,  added  to  the  dullness 
of  the  market.  Shipments  of  nearly 
everything  were  light.  As  a  result 
l)rices  were  steady.  Asters  arrived  in 
considerable  quantities  and  the  usual 
flood  of  them  is  expected  soon.  Gladiolus 
shipments  are  increasing  daily.  The 
quality  is  excellent.  The  price  July  21 
ranged  from  50  cents  to  $1  per  dozen. 

There  was  a  good  supply  of  American 
Beauties.  The  quality  is  better.  Top 
prices  were  $25  per  hundred.  There 
are  enough  hybrid  tea  roses  in  many 
varieties  for  the  demand.  The  best  sell 
at  $5  per  hundred,  while  the  others 
ran^e  down  to  50  cents  per  hundred. 
The  market  is  well  supplied  with 
orchids,  good  gigas  bringing  60  cents 
oach,  cattleyas  30  to  50  cents  and  others 
as  low  as  $20  to  $25  per  hundred. 

The  supply  of  valley  is  limited  and 
$6  per  hundred  was  asked  July  21. 
Lilies  have  risen  to  $5  per  hundred  for 
tlie  selects,  with  no  surplus.  Rubrums 
sell  at  $3  per  hundred,  as  do  the  in- 
ferior longiflorums.  Continued  ship- 
ments of  carnations  have  caused  sur- 
prise. Some  selected  flowers  sold  last 
week  as  high  as  $2  per  hundred.  Most 
of  the  arrivals,  however,  brought  50 
cents  per  hundred. 

Some  fine  delphiniums  are  arriving 
daily.  Sweet  peas  and  daisies  are 
abundant.  Feverfew  has  been  sup- 
])lanted  by  candytuft.  There  are  quan- 
tities of  coreopsis,  antirrhinum  and 
gaillardia.  The  rambler  roso  season  is 
over.

INDIANAPOLIS,  IND. 


The  Market. 


The  supply  of  stock  shortened  last 
week  and  with  the  exception  of  lilies 
and  Shasta  daisies  there  is  not  an  over- 
abundance. Gladioli  are  coming  in  good 
shape  and  meet  a  demand.  Asters  are 
not  in  big  supply  and  the  quality  is 
poor.     Outside   sweet  peas  clear  easily 


at  40  and  50  cents  per  hundred.  Snap- 
dragons still  are  in  good  demand  and 
quality.  Garden  flowers  are  abundant. 
Green  is  in  fair  supply.  Funeral  work 
has  been  the  principal  business  and 
creates  a  demand  for  lilies.

R.  S.  Carey,  of  South  Hadley  Falls, 
Mass.,  remarked  tliat  it  took  consider- 
able suasion  to  combat  the  nearly  gen- 
eral abandonment  of  the  use  of  flow- 
ers at  school  commencements,  but  his 
best  stock  was  cleared,  nevertheless. 

Chatterton  Warburton,  of  Fall  River, 
Mass.,  is  picking  some  extra  fine  sweet 
peas,  in  lavender  and  pink.  He  men- 
tioned that  his  grower  liad  ordered  from 
a  well  known  seed  house  one  pound  of 
a  standard  white,  a  named  kind,  and 
one  can  imagine  his  chagrin  when  the 
suj>posed  white  bloomed  pink.  "There's 
the  rub,"  said  Mr.  Warburton,  "but 
what  can  we  do  about  it?  Shall  we  be 
forced  to  seek  the  protection  of  the  gov- 
ernment, as  is  now  done  with  insecti- 
«ides?" 

Caryopteris  Mastacanthus  is  making

Journeying  from  Lynn  to  Salem,

of  New  England,  as  far  as  the  eye  can 
see,  there  is  the  native  yellow  antir- 
rhinum, or  "butter  and  eggs"  as  it  is 
known  locally,  in  one  solid  mass  of 
blooms.  All  nature  is  reveling  at  this 
time,  and  it  should  not  be  a  source  of 
disappointment  to  the  florist  if  there  is 
not  much  call  for  the  greenhouse  flow- 
ers, which  are  all  the  more  appreciated 
wlien  nature  resigns  to  him  later  on. 
In  the  meantime  the  florist  should  plan 
to  have  nature  continued  indoors,  rotary 
fashion. 


Thomas  Clark,  of  New  London,  Conn., 
has  it  figured  out  that  it  will  pay  the 
owner  of  a  range  of  glass  operated  to 
supi)ly  the  downtown  store  to  close 
down  next  winter,  but  open  up  early  in 
spring,  with  a  new  stock  supplied  by  the 
large  growers  who  are  equipped  for  such 
a  purpose.  This  is  the  more  easy  if 
one  can  rely  on  a  good  grower  or  whole- 
saler, as  can  Mr.  Clark,  who  believes 
others  will  adopt  this  plan  if  present 
conditions  continue.  Business  generally 
has  kept  up  well. 

Richard  Higgins,  of  Providence,  has 
been  able  to  strike  the  happy  medium — 
enough  funeral  work  to  keep  busy  when 
outside  orders  are  quiet.  A  new  sales- 
room is  planned  for  next  season. 

Tlie  rose  garden  at  Roger  Williams 
park,  Providence.  R.  I.,  is  not  exten- 
sive, but  it  contains  the  best  well  known 
roses,  which  are  now  at  their  best.  The 
ramblers,  trained  up  the  electric  light 
polos  and  elsewhere,  arc  gorgeous.  The 
collection  of  conifers  embraces  every 
variety  that  will  thrive  here.  Tlie  moist 
season,  now  warmer,  is  ideal  for  all  out- 
door vegetation,  and  Superintendent 
Fred  Green  is  justly  proud  of  his  mag- 
nificent park. 

The  W.  E.  Barrett  Co.,  of  Providence, 
reports  a  plienonienal  seed  season. 
"Bugs?"  ejaculated  Manager  Williams. 
"The  famous  fifty-seven  varieties  are 
not  in  it  when  compared  with  tlie  sto- 
ries some  of  our  patrons  pour  into  our 
ears,  but  we  alwavs  have  a  remedy 
handy."  '  W.  M.

Results  bring  advertisiDg. 
The  Review  brings  results. 

There  seems  to  be  small  chance  of 
azaleas  reaching  this  country  in  any 
quantity  this  autumn. 

Sales  made  today  sometimes  may  be 
at  the  expense  of  the  future,  but  the  re- 
verse rarely  is  true:  A  sale  lost  by  a 
florist  is  not  easily  recovered. 

Camouflage  is  the  art  of  making 
oneself  inconspicuous  amid  one's  sur- 
roundings. The  armies  are  studying  it, 
but  many  florists  are  past  masters  through 
long  practice. 

There  is  a  place  for  Pink  Ophelia.  The 
color  is  more  nearly  the  true  pink  than  in 
any  other  rose  on  the  market,  and  it 
should  prove  to  be  an  easy  doer,  making  it 
useful  both  to  retailers  and  growers. 

Wholesalers  say  collections  in  the 
trade  have  been  slower  than  usual  this 
spring  and  summer.  It  is  felt  that  the 
reason  is  seen  in  the  florists'  higher  costs 
of  doing  business  not  compensated  for 
by  better  selling  prices. 

There  has  been  a  big  business  in 
chrysanthemum  plants  this  month,  the 
demand  coming  later  than  usual  because 
the  bedding  plant  business  was  late  and 
the  benches  were  occupied  longer  than 
usual  by  the  spring  crop. 

Many  growers  talk  of  dropping  ge- 
raniums because  of  the  surplus  of  the 
last  two  seasons,  and  because  of  the  low 
prices,  considered  unprofitable  under 
present  conditions.  But  the  surpluses 
last  year  were  local  only  and  this  year  were 
due  to  war  and  weather.  At  the  same 
time  production  increased.  It  is  not  fair 
to  blame  the  geranium. 


In  the  country  towns,  as  a  rule,  the 
spring  season  figures  up  a  specially  good 
one;  it  seems  to  have  been  in  the  cities 
the  uncertainties  had  most  effect. 


REACHING  THE  TRADE. 

Of  no  issue  of  The  Review  in  1917 
have  less  than  12,000  copies  been  or- 
dered; for  most  of  the  time  the  press- 
room order  has  stood  to  print  12,500 
copies  of  each  issue. 

How  many  florists  do  you  think  there 
are  who  do  not  read  The  Review? 


HAS  YOUR  COAL  COST  BEEN  CUT? 

The  Review  has  received  the  follow- 
ing letter  from  F.  S.  Peabody,  Washing- 
ton, D.  C,  chairman  of  the  Committee 
on  Coal  Production  of  the  Council  of 
National  Defense: 

I  have  just  read  with  considerable  interest  your 
article  (in  The  Review  of  July  5)  on  coal  prices. 

Peeling  that  it  was  written  without  a  full 
understanding  of  the  action  taken  at  the  con- 
vention of  coal  operators,  the  latter  part  of  June. 
I  am  therefore  sending  you  a  copy  of  the  pro- 
ceedings of  that  convention. 

The  enclosure  was  the  statement 
given  the  press  under  date  of  June  28, 
which  was  widely  quoted  in  the  daily 
papers  as  bringing  a  material  reduction 
in  the  price  of  coal. 

The  Review  replied  to  Mr.  Peabody  as 
follows: 

Your  letter  of  July  16,  1917,  with  enclosure, 
came  safely  and  has  been  read  with  interest. 

For  your  information,  so  far  as  we  have  been 
able  to  ascertain,  the  convention  of  coal  opera- 
tors has  made  no  reduction  in  the  cost  of  fuel  to 
anyone  in  the  trade  our  journal  represents, 
neither  to  those  who  buy  on  contract,  by  the 
carload,  or  at  retail.  If  anything,  the  action 
of  the  operators'  convention  has  had  the  effect 
of  affirming  previously  existing  high  prices. 

If  any  florist  has  been  able  to  buy 
coal  any  cheaper  in  July  than  June  by 
reason  of  the  widely  heralded  "reduc- 
tion" in  prices.  The  Review  will  be 
pleased  to  learn  of  the  fact  and  will 
gladly  tell  the  trade  about  it. 


HERE'S  THE  GOOD  WORD. 

What  a  pleasure  it  is  to  meet  Mr. 
Smiley  Glad,  the  apostle  of  good  cheer, 
who  says,  "We  had  the  largest  and 
finest  stock  of  chrysanthemum  plants  this 
year  we  ever  had  and  one  more  inser- 
tion of  the  ad  in  The  Review  will  clean 
them  up  nicely.  The  call  for  mums  this 
year  was  the  latest  we  have  ever  known, 
due  no  doubt  to  the  late  season,  the  heav- 
iest demand  coming  in  the  last  part  of 
June  and  first  part  of  July. "  It  is  from 
N.  E.  Beck  Floral  Co.,'Massillon,  O., 
and  the  writer  adds: 

"Prices  have  been  advanced  on  near- 
ly everything  here  and  business  is  fine, 
with  a  good  outlook  for  next  season. 
Bedding  plants  cleaned  up  well  around 
here,  good  4-inch  geraniums  retailing 
at  from  $2  to  $2.40  per  dozen.  If  coal 
is  high  'we  should  worry,'  as  everyone 
expects  to  pay  a  high  price.  We  have 
just  finished  cutting  a  fine  crop  of  wheat 
on  our  two  farms  and  expect  to  plant 
about  seventy-five  acres  to  wheat  this 
fall.  We  sold  our  last  year's  crop  of 
1,800  bushels  this  spring  when  the  price 
was  up." 

There  is  an  old  saying  that  "noth- 
ing succeeds  like  success"  and  certainly 
the  successful  man  is  far  more  pleasant 
company  than  the  chronic  complainer. 


APPRECIATION. 


ing  to  serve.  Many,  many  times  yom 
efforts  are  appreciated  and  are  not  in 
vain,  but  many  times  that  little  pat  on 
the  back  that  sends  a  thrill  through  you 
is  withheld.  That  is  why,  when  lettors 
containing  such  sentiments  come  to  The 
Review,  the  editor  and  his  assistants 
dig  in  with  renewed  vigor  and  try  to 
more  fully  merit  such  approbation  as 
their  readers  may  feel. 

The  above  was  caused  by  that  which 
follows: 

Please   find    enclosed    check   for   $1.50   for  an- 
other year's  subscription  to  The   Review,   wlich 
we  find  indispensable,   not  having  missed  a  sin- 
gle copy  for  seventeen  years. — KnuU  Floral  i  j 
Tampa,  Fla.,  July  14,   1917. 

The  Review  has  many  subscribi  is 
who  have  been  receiving  the  paper  siiue 
the  first  issue,  nearly  twenty  years. 


THE  DRAFT. 


No  man  is  drafted  until  an  exemption 
board  has  passed  on  his  fitness  to  be  a 
soldier,  but  the  effect  on  the  trade  will 
be  apparent  by  a  perusal  of  the  news- 
letters in  this  issue  of  The  Review.  Tlie 
already  existing  shortage  of  experienced 
help  will  be  accentuated  with  each  call 
to  the  colors. 

The  draft  was  a  lottery  and  containcl 
a  sporting  element  which  seems  to  have 
appealed  to  the  people,  but  now  that 
chance  has  played  its  part  it  is  seen 
that  inequalities  have  resulted.  From 
certain  establishments  a  number  of 
men  are  called  up  for  examination, 
while  competitors  are  not  called  on  to 
make  any  present  contribution  from 
their  staff. 

The  government  expects  one-half  the 
men  examined  will  be  exempted,  but  the 
proportion  passed  among  florists  no 
doubt  will  be  higher  than  the  average, 
as  florists  as  a  class  are  physically  fit 
and  the  industry  is  not  an  essential  one 
from  the  military  point  of  view. 

There  will  be  several  ways  in  which 
the  effect  of  the  draft  will  be  noted — 
the  scarcity  of  experienced  helpers  will 
lead  to  the  employment  of  untrained 
people,  especially  women;  the  necessity 
for  a  redistribution  of  the  skilled  work- 
ers will  result  in  advancing  wages, 
slowly,  perhaps,  but  surely;  the  increas 
ing  difficulties  of  production  will  result 
in  one  or  another  of  two  things,  lower 
quality  or  decreased  production. 


One  of  the  greatest  pleasures  in  life 
is  knowing  that  the  results  of  your  ef- 
forts find  favor  with  those  you  are  seek- 


CHICAGO. 

The  Market. 

Although  there  is  no  extraordinary 
business  being  done  in  the  wholesale 
cut  flower  market,  the  feeling  on  the 
whole  is  one  of  satisfaction  with  the 
way  in  which  the  market  is  holding  up. 
There  has  been  some  hot  weather  in 
the  last  few  days  and  with  a  few  more 
similar  ones  stock  will  undoubtedly 
shorten  rapidly. 

The  quality  of  the  stock  which  ar- 
rives for  the  greater  part  is  poor  and 
good  stock  may  be  said  to  be  scarce. 
Garden  flowers  hold  an  important  place 
on  the  list.  The  demand  for  them  is 
good  and  much  stock  is  arriving.  Car- 
nations play  but  a  slight  role,  only  a 
small  amount  of  good  stock  coming  in. 

There  is  a  fair  supply  of  American 
Beauties  and  for  this  season  they  are  of 
good  quality.  The  demand  is  active 
enough  to  clear  the  stock  that  arrives. 
While  there  are  many  poor  quality  roses 
arriving,  not  much  good  stock  is  to  be

had.  Eussell  continues  as  the  leader. 
Red  roses  are  probably  in  next  active 
demand.  As  Eichmonds  are  scarce  and 
of  poor  quality,  this  need  is  met  by 
Milady,  which  is  in  fair  supply.  Kil- 
larney  and  White  Killarney  are  both 
scarce.  Ophelia  is  plentiful,  sells  well 
and  comes  in  for  a  good  portion  of  the 
unsupplied  orders  for  white.  Sunburst 
also  is  plentiful.  Eoses  cut  from  young 
plants  are  on  the  increase  and  a  large 
supply  of  this  class  of  stock  is  in  early 
prospect. 

Although  there  still  are  quite  a  num- 
ber of  carnations  for  this  season  of  the 
year,  they  are  mostly  of  poor  quality. 
Good  stock  arriving,  however,  moves 
fairly  well. 

Valley  is  a  little  scarce,  due  to  the 
fact  that  growers  are  holding  pips  back 
for  next  season  because  of  the  uncer- 
tainty of  obtaining  any  more.  Orchids 
are  in  supply  just  sufficient  to  meet  the 
demand.  There  are  enough  lilies.  Some 
outdoor  sweet  peas  are  arriving  and 
sell  cheaply.  Peonies  are  beginning  to 
shorten.  Gladioli  are  quite  scarce. 
There  have  been  fewer  gladioli  in  the 
market  so  far  this  year  than  in  any 
recent  summer.  Shasta  dai-sies  are 
plentiful,  but  there  are  not  one-half  so 
many  to  be  seettr  as  at  this  time  last 
year.  Asters  ystill  are  scarce.  The  de- 
mand for  thetn  is  good.  An  abundance 
of  gypsophila  may  be  seen.  It  sells 
well.  Centaureas  also  are  in  good  sup- 
ply and  fairly  active  demand.  Some 
outdoor  stocks  are  beginning  to  come 
in.  Pond  lilies  are  plentiful  and  sell 
fairly  well. 

Greens  generally  are  in  good  supply, 
but  a  slight  shortage  of  smilax  was  to 
be  noted  last  week. 

Express  Companies  to  Curtail  Pickups. 

"Wholesale  houses  have  received  notice 
from  the  expro«s  companies  thst  alter

this  is  to  insure  full  cars  on  t]ic  earlier 
trains,  to  relieve  the  evening  conges- 
tion and  insure  each  day's  shipments 
getting  out  that  day. 

Until  October  1  the  change  will  not 
affect  the  flower  market,  because  the 
wholesale  houses  are  closing  at  5  p.  m.,   |

but  between  October  1  and  June  30 
probably  ninety  per  cent  of  tlie  cut 
flower  shipments  have  gone  out  after 
3  p.  m. 

The  action  of  the  express  companies 
will  mean  that  customers  must  get  their 
orders  in  earlier,  tliat  growers  must  get 
tlieir  afternoon  shipments  into  the 
wholesale  houses  earlier  and  that  the 
wliolesalers  must  have  tlie  boxes  ready 
at  5  p.  m.  instead  of  letting  things  drag 
along  for  an  hour  or  more,  as  has  been 
(lone  in  previous  seasons.  Either  that 
or  hire  a  wagon  for  the  late  orders, 
which  will  not  pay. 

The  Draft. 

The  trade  suffered  a  severe  attack  of 
arithmomania  last  week,  when  the  draft 
numbers  came  out.  No  large  number  of 
those  in  business  on  their  own  account 
were  registered,  but  many  had  sons  on 
the  lists  and  of  the  employees  in  retail 


stores,  in  wholesale  houses  and  in  the 
greenhouses  fully  half  are  of  military 
age.  The  marvel,  then,  is  that  so  few 
of  the  trade  found  their  numbers  among 
those  to  be  called  for  immediate  exam- 
ination. 

The  first  well  known  trade  name  to 
appear  on  the  local  lists  was  that  of 
E.  F.  Winterson,  Jr.  His  was  the  one 
hundred  eighth  number  drawn.  Sidney 
Buchbinder  held  tlie  one  hundred  tenth 
number.     Each  is  married. 

A.  Miller,  president  of  the  American

Grant's  Coal  Plan. 

John  Grant,  of  the  Warren  Park 
Floral  Co.,  Cicero,  lost  most  of  his  profit 
last  season  because  he  had  no  contract 
for  coal.  As  prices  are  just  as  high 
now,  or  higher,  he  has  been  looking 
around  for  a  way  to  protect  his  profits. 
He  thinks  he  has  found  the  way  and  in- 
vites any  interested  florist  to  investi- 
gate the  proposition. 

With  a  friend,  he  has  secured  an  op- 
tion on  a  coal  mine  not  at  present  be- 


ing worked  at  Roseville,  O.,  near  Colum- 
bus. To  buy  the  mine  will  cost  $50,000 
and  $2."), 000  is  needed  for  working 
capital.  Tiiere  is  a  million  tons  of  coal 
in  sight,  on  tlie  surface.  The  idea  is  to 
organize  a  cooperative  company  among 
consumers,  each  stockholder  being  en- 
titled to  coal  at  cost  of  production,  ap- 
proximately $1  per  ton;  freight  rate  to 
Cliicago,  $1.55.  If  the  stockholders  do 
not  need  it  all,  the  surplus  output  to  be 
sold  at  the  market  price,  fixed  at  $2.75. 
Mr.  Grant  says  the  mine  can  be  started 
in  thirty  days. 

Florists  approached  liave  been  inter- 
ested, but  have  felt  themselves  so  ig- 
norant of  tlie  subject  of  coal  mining 
that  thoy  did  not  like  to  touch  it.  Mr. 
Grant    wants    several    to    get    together

,j  Various  Notes. 

Bohumir  E.  Velisek,  formerly  financial 
secretary  of  the  Bohemian  National 
cemetery,  has  embarked  in  the  retail 
business  and  August  1  will  open  a  store 
at  3511  West  Twenty-sixth  street.  He 
is  equipping  his  store  with  a  Eandall 
refrigerator. 

There  are  few  growers  more  resource- 
ful or  more  successful  than  Henry  E. 
Youngquist,  on  Foster,  avenue.  When 
he  finds  a  change  in  the  demand  he  is 
quick  to  get  on  it  and  he  does  not  hesi- 
tate to  plunge.  Last  season  he  made  a 
quick  switch  from  carnations  to  vege- 
tables in  a  part  of  his  range  and  cleaned 
up  a  neat  profit.  A  year  or  two  ago  he 
found  a  few  vincas  along  the  edges  of 
the  carnation  benches  brought  a  neat 
sum  of  extra  money,  so  he  increased  on 
vincas  until,  it  is  said,  this  season  he 
produced  60,000.  They  did  not  all  sell 
and  the  average  price  was  low,  but  they 
paid  him  well. 

At  the  J.  A.  Budlong  establishment 
Lady  Alice  Stanley  is  pointed  to  as  an 
especially  good  summer  rose.  It  is 
equally  good  in  winter,  but  does  not 
bloom  fast  enough  to  suit  most  growers 
who  have  tried  it. 

Returning  from  a  trip  to  Buffalo  with 
the  Packard,  visiting  Detroit,  Toledo 
and  Cleveland  en  route,  E.  C.  Amling 
and  family  report  it  one  of  the  pleas- 
antest  vacations  imaginable.  The  Ford 
factory  interested  Mr.  Amling  as  much 
as  anything  he  saw. 

Walter  Adams  does  not  open  his  new 
north  side  store  on  Sunday  during  July 
and  August.  There  are  only  a  few 
flower  stores,  even  in  the  loop  district, 
that  are  not  open  some  portion  of  every 
Sabbath. 

Mrs.  H.  N.  Bruns  and  family  are  sum- 
mering at  Lakeside,  Mich.  Mr.  Bruns 
and  Herman,  Jr.,  go  over  for  the  week 
ends. 

Wendland  &  Keimel  Co.,  Elmhurst, 
recently  threw  out  a  house  of  Wards 
from  which  a  cut  had  been  taken  every 
day  for  five  years.  Probably  it  is  a  rec- 
ord.

The  Market. 

The  market  has  been  glutted  with 
all  kinds  of  outdoor  stock,  which  has 
sold  at  low  prices.  Prices,  however, 
have  little  effect  on  moving  the  stock 
and  but  a  small  proportion  sells.  Heavy 
rains  have  hurt  sweet  peas  and  other 
outdoor  stock  and  little  that  reaches  the 
m.arket  is   salable. 

Gladioli  are  just  coming  in  and  are 
showing  excellent  spikes.  Loads  of 
helianthus  and  gaillardias  are  seen. 
There  is  also  an  abundance  of  coreopsis, 
Japanese  irises,  bachelor's  buttons  and 
Dorothy  Perkins  and  Crimson  Kambler 
roses.  Most  of  this  stock  is  of  poor 
quality.  Easter  lilies  are  plentiful. 
The  cut  of  outdoor  roses  is  diminishing 
and  indoor  stock  is  prominent.  The 
latter  moved  a  little  more  freely  at  the 
end  of  last  week.  Prima  Donna  is 
the  favorite,  with  Ophelia  and  Sunburst 
close  seconds.  Shasta  daisies,  candytuft 
and  sweet  williams  are  plentiful.  The 
supply  of  greens  is  in  excess  of  the  de- 
mand. 

Various  Notes. 

N.  A.  Hallauer,  of  Ontario,  was  a  visi- 
tor last  week.  He  is  growing  some  fine 
gladioli  and  expects  to  cut  100,000 
spikes.

who  says  all  have  given  satisfaction. 
At  the  local  Lord  &  Burnham  Co.  office 
it  is  said  there  liave  been  many  inquiries 
concerning  the  new  boiler. 

Malcombe  White,  foreman  of  the 
H.  E.  Wilson  greenliouses,  is  on  a  10-day 
automobile  trip  through  the  Adiron- 
dack mountains.  Mr.  Wilson  has  some 
excellent  Easter  lilies  in  his  houses.

Our  assortment  consists  of  the

PHILADELPHIA. 


The  Market. 


The  standard  summer  flowers  are  com- 
ing in  more  freely  now,  so  that  the  last 
week  in  July  sees  the  market  better 
supplied  than  the  week  just  ended.  As- 
ters in  all  colors  and  of  good  quality 
are  much  more  plentiful.  They  came  at 
a  time  when  carnations  had  ceased  to  be 
dependable  for  general  use.  Gladioli 
also  are  now  obtainable  in  large  num- 
bers. Many  of  them  are  fine;  America 
is  especially  so.  Roses  are  rather  more 
numerous  than  they  were  a  week  ago 
and  Easter  lilies  continue  abundant. 
Business  is  fully  up  to  the  mark  for  the 
season,  probably  a  little  ahead  of  last 
July  so  far.  Most  of  it  is  made  up  of 
sad  orders,  with  a  scattering  of  gifts 
for  more  joyful  occasions,  and  home  or- 
ders. The  impression  given  by  a  trip 
around  the  wholesale  cut  flower  houses  is 
that  there  are  not  enough  growers  send- 
ing in  good  flowers  to  make  the  sales 
activity  general. 

A  Handsome  Show  Boom. 

The  M.  Rice  Co.  has  just  completed

front  of  the  floor  has  been  partitioned 
off  to  a  depth  of  about  one-third  of  the 
building  and  arranged  as  a  basket  show 
room.  It  would  be  difficult  to  imagine  a 
more  beautiful  and  instructive  display 
than  is  now  arranged  here.  The  baskets 
are  shown  in  groups,  one  of  each  kind. 
There  are  dark  colorings  relieved  by  the 
deep  greens  and  browns  so  pleasing  in 
the  Indian  style  of  basket.  Opposite 
are  the  white   enamel  baskets,  glisten-

ing  in  their  purity.  Beyond  are  the  white 
baskets  of  pale  blue  and  delicate  green. 
Further  on  are  the  gold  baskets,  richly 
finished.  There  is  a  large  and  interest- 
ing exhibit  of  tumbler  baskets  in  some 
fifty  different  styles.  Considerable  space 
is  given  to  the  baskets  that  are  no 
longer  made  in  quantity,  the  odds  and 
ends,  so  to  speak,  of  which  only  a  lim- 
ited number  are  available. 

A  novelty  of  especial  interest  is  a 
tall  basket  of  vase-like  form,  set  in  a 
broad  bowl-shaped  basket.  The  tall  vase 
is  intended  for  cut  flowers,  the  bowl- 
like basket  beneath  for  plants.  Both 
Mr.   Eschner   and   Mr.   Brunswick   con- 


sider this  exhibit  the  finest  thing  of  its 
kind  ever  arranged.  Mr,  Eschner  says 
that  most  of  the  baskets  are  "made  in 
America"  and  that  they  represent  the 
combined  ideas  of  their  business  family, 
gathered  from  a  close  study  of  the  needs 
of  florists  all  over  the  country.  He  adds 
that  the  success  of  these  baskets  is  most 
gratifying.

arrangements  for  shipments  by  freight 
of  less  than  carload  lots.  The  railroad 
has  in  the  past  accepted  such  freight 
at  any  of  its  freight  stations,  at  any 
time,  for  any  point.  It  proposes  in  the 
future  to  accept  such  freight  only  at 
certain  points,  on  certain  days,  for  cer- 
tain points;  in  other  words,  to  have 
sailing  days,  so  to  speak,  for  freight 
cars.  For  instance,  a  car  will  be  sched- 
uled to  leave  Grays  Ferry  freight  sta- 
tion at  3  p.  m.,  August  1,  for  Pitts- 
burgh and  the  west.     That  car  will  be 


ready  to  receive  freight  for  such 
points  for  so  many  working  hours  be- 
fore that  time.  Another  car  will  leave 
at  5  p.  m.  for  the  south,  and  so  on. 

The  idea  is  that  this  plan  will  have 
many  advantages.  It  will  save  time  and 
labor  in  handling  and  transferring 
freight.  It  will  require  fewer  locomo- 
tives and  cars  to  handle  a  given  quan- 
tity of  freight,  and  it  will  avoid  con- 
fusion. The  aid  of  various  trade  or- 
ganizations is  to  be  invited  in  work- 
ing out  the  details  of  the  plan.    An  im-

Cultaral  QuestioiL 

When  J.  A.  Valentine  attended  a 
Rose  Society  meeting  in  Chicago  a  num- 
ber of  years  ago  he  surprised  the  grow- 
ers from  the  middle  west  and  from  the 
east  by  telling  them  that  one  of  the 
rose  growing  problems  in  Denver  was 
caused  by  too  much  sun.  The  plants- 
made  a  short  growth,  flowering  too 
quickly.  Leo  Niessen  now  tells  us  that 
the  same  cause  is  assigned  by  some  of 
the  ablest  men  in  Philadelphia  for  dis- 
carding some  members  of  the  Killar- 
ney  family.  The  claim,  Mr.  Niessen 
says,  is  that  in  certain  heavy  soils  these 
varieties  flower  on  too  short  stems  to 
compete  with  those  grown  in  more  fa- 
vorable soils.  They  require  disbudding 
to  get  stems  of  equal  or  nearly  equal 
lengths  to  those  grown  in  the  lighter 
soils.  This  is  surprising,  as  it  would 
naturally  be  supposed;  that  culture  would 
overcome  the  difficulty,  but  the  growers 
who  have  made  the  assertion  rank  so 
high    as    to    justify   its    acceptance    as 

fact.  Various  Notes. 

The  selective  draft,  who  are  taken  and 
who  are  left,  is  the  absorbing  topic  of 
the  hour. 

Frederick  J.  Michell  returned  to  busi- 
ness July  23,  after  a  three  weeks'  ab- 
sence. Mr.  Michell  was  struck  by  a 
speeding  car  while  walking  and  pain- 
fully injured.  One  rib  was  broken  and 
his  foot  was  severely  hurt.  Happily, 
he  is  on  the  highroad  to  complete  re- 
covery. 

Clarence  J.  Watson  is  confident  that 
the  coming  season  will  bring  business 
activity. 

Ralph  E.  Faust  is  replacing  Alvah  R. 
Jones  for  the  time  being  as  floor  man- 
ager for  the  S.  S.  Pennock  Co.

The  Market. 

Toward  the  end  of  the  last  week  the 
temperature  mounted  to  86  degrees, 
and  it  seems  to  be  going  higher  at  this 
writing.  Tliis,  of  course,  is  having  its 
effect  on  business;  there  is  a  marked 
degree  of  ennui  in  every  flower  estab- 
lishment. There  is  no  surplus  stock  and 
there  seems  to  be  enough  business  to 
take  up  the  daily  supply. 

Roses  are  fairly  good  and  the  sup- 
ply is  about  equal  to  the  demand.  The 
cut  is  becoming  smaller  every  day, 
but  the  quality  seems  to  hold  up  quite 
well.  Carnations  are  still  to  be  had  in 
quantity,  but  the  quality  shows  the 
effect  of  the  hot  weather.  Sweet  peas 
are  still  on  tlio  market,  although  the 
stems  arc  short  and  the  blooms  only  of 
medium  size.  Tliey  are  selling  well, 
however,  and  make  up  a  good  part  of

the  daily  sales.  Valley  remains  scarce 
and  of  medium  quality.  There  is  more 
than  an  adequate  supply  of  lilies,  and 
they  are  not  moving  at  all  well.  Orchids 
are  arriving  in  about  sufficient  quanti- 
ties to  meet  the  demand.  Taken  as  a 
whole,  business  is  extremely  quiet,  but 
it  compares  favorably  with  that  of  any 
previous  summer. 

Various  Notes. 

The  C.  C.  Pollworth  Co.  reports  that 
its  men  are  still  cutting  good  roses 
and  that  carnations  as  yet  are  in  fine 
shape.  This  concern  is  minus  several 
employees,  who  are  spending  vacations 
at  various  resorts.  W.  Holliday  is  at 
Lake  Fine,  while  Phil  Weil  is  at  Peli- 
can lake,  trying  for  a  muskellungo 
that  will  weigh  more  than  the  one 
caught  recently  by  C.  C.  Pollworth.  Mr. 
Pollworth 's  tipped  the  scales  at  thirty- 
eight  pounds. 

^.  MacDonald,  manager  of  the  Gim- 
bel  flower  department,  is  featuring 
some  exceptionally  fine  grape  plants, 
which  were  grown  by  the  Holton  & 
Hunkel  Co.  These  plants  make  a 
beautiful  display. 

W.  Lubliner  furnished  a  wreath  July 
17  that  was  more  than  six  feet  in  di- 
ameter. This  gigantic  design  was  made 
of  galax  leaves,  with  a  large  cluster  of 
white  roses,  Piaster  lilies  and  larkspurs, 
tied  with  a  large  bow  of  ribbon.  The 
piece  had  to  be  carried  on  top  of  the 
delivery  car,  as  it  was  too  large  to  go 
inside. 

The  Holton  &  Hunkel  Co.  has  com- 
pleted an  alteration  in  its  office  that  af- 
fords the  workers  much  needed  room. 
Albert  Hare  left  on  his  vacation  July 
21.  He  said  he  did  not  know  where 
he  was  going,  but  that  he  was  on  his 
way.  We  know  he  will  come  back  with 
the  details  of  an  extensive  auto  trip, 
however. 

It  is  with  regret  that  we  announce 
the  death  July  20  of  Frank  Voelzke.

The  Market, 

A  week  of  hot,  humid  weather  has  put 
the  cut  flower  business  in  a  semicoma- 
tose condition.  Arrivals  of  flowers  are 
not  at  all  heavy,  as  many  ijrowers  have 
ceased  sliip])in}i^  until  fall.  Really  good 
flowers  have  no  trouble  in  getting  pur- 
chasers. Roses  are  being  unfavorably 
affected  by  the  heat  and  their  quality  is 
on  the  down-grade.  Fewer  flowers  are 
arriving,  liowever,  and  prices  are  fairly 
well  maintained.  Quite  a  number  of 
carnations  still  come  in  and  the  quality 
for  midsummer  is  good.  Asters  now  are 
arriving  from  several  growers  and  will 
soon  fill  the  carnation  blank.  Sweet 
))oas,  thanks  to  the  dry  weather,  are 
(if  good  quality,  but  the  dry  weather 
affects  the  length  of  the  stems. 

Loiigiflorum  lilies  still  find  it  hard 
sledding  and  prices  are  unprofitably 
low.  Gladioli  are  not  yet  plentiful. 
Valley  is  shortening  up,  but  the  de- 
mand has  weakened.  Miscellaneous  an- 
nuals and  perennials  are  seen.  Lark- 
spurs, sweet  sultans,  coreopsis  and 
bachelor's  buttons  sell  Avell. 

Various  Notes. 

At  Horticultural  hall  July  21  William 
Anderson,  superintendent  to  ]Vlrs.  Bay- 
ard Thayer,  received  a  silver  medal  for 
Lilium  Thayera^,  introduced  in  1910  by 
Wilson,  from  China.  In  liabit  it  closely 
resembles  L.  Ilenryi.  The  best  si)ike 
shown  carried  twenty-one  flowers  and 
buds.  The  flowers  are  smaller  than 
those  of  Henryi,  recurved,  and  the  petals 
are  covered  with  small  black  spots.  The 
flowers  are  of  a  rich  orange  color.  The 
stalks  seem  slender  and  graceful,  but 
are  wiry.  The  foliage  is  finer  than 
that  of  Henryi.  This  should  become  a 
])oj)u]ar  garden  lily.  W.  C.  Winter  was 
first  for  twenty-four  hollyhock  blooms; 
W.  G.  Kendall,  second.  W.  N.  Craig 
was  first  for  twelve  spikes  of  hollyhocks; 
W.  G.  Kendall,  second.  J.  H.  S'talford, 
of  Bar  Harbor,  showed  a  lavender  col- 
ored antirrhinum  which  is  popular  in 
that  summer  resort.  W.  N.  Craig  had 
a  display  of  thirty  varieties  of  hardy 
herbaceous  perennials,  including  large 
vases  of  Trachclium  ca'ruleum  and  T. 
album.

50  years'  experience  in  the  florist  business  guarantees 
efficiency  to  Uke  care  of  all  orders.    2()  per  cent  allowed. 

James  Anderson,  son  of  William  An- 
derson, of  the  Bayard  Thayer  estate, 
South  Lancaster,  Mass.,  was  married  at 
the  Unitarian  church,  Lancaster,  July 
20,  to  Miss  Miriam  Ellen  Hawkins.  The 
church  was  beautifully  decorated  with 
Lilium  regale  and  delphiniums,  which 
made  a  delightful  combination.  The 
bridegroom  is  a  graduate  of  the  Massa- 
chusetts Institute  of  Technology,  tak- 
ing up  sanitary  engineering  as  his  spe- 
cialty, and  is  now  employed  by  the  J.  L. 
Mott  Iron   Works  Co.,  of  Boston. 

At  the  Park  street  store  of  Henry  R. 
Comley  July  21  I  noticed  a  fine  display 
of  Lilium  auratum,  speciosum  and 
Henryi;  also  a  fine  batch  of  gloxinias 
and  nymphajas. 

James  Wheeler,  of  Natick,  started 
shipping  Queen  of  the  Market  asters 
July  21.  He  has  a  batch  of  20,000  plants 
and  they  are  first-class.  Mr.  Wheeler 
has  just  purchased  a  new  car. 

The  picnic  of  the  Gardeners'  and  Flo- 
rists' Club  at  Cunningham  park,  East 
Milton,  is  the  principal  happening  of 
interest  to  growers  this  week.  It  oc-

peas  for  a  funeral  in  Dorchester  July 
19.  They  had  twenty-one  other  designs 
for  the  same  funeral.  July  business 
with  tliem  is  holding  up  extremely  well. 

Charles  E.  Evans,  of  Waltham,  is  the 
largest  local  grower  of  double  gypso- 
jdiila,  having  about  an  acre  of  it.  He 
finds  it  a  little  more  tender  than  the 
single  form,  but  a  much  better  seller  as 
a  cut  flower. 

Xeil  E.  Boyle,  of  Maiden,  is  cutting 
fine  StaJiley  and  Ophelia  roses.  The  only 
new  variety  he  has  planted  this  season 
is  a  deep  pink  sport  of  Ophelia.

The  Market, 


Tlie  demand  for  stock  is  down  to  the 
usual  summer  level,  wholesalers  report, 
business  being  good  some  days  and  poor 
others.  Retailers  say  tliat  funeral 
work  comprises  about  all  the  demand  at 
their  stores.  However,  the  season  has 
been   good  and   no   one   is   complaining. 

Roses  sliow  the  effects  of  the  hot 
weather  and  few  consignments  from 
outside  arrive  in  first-class  condition. 
Local  carnations  are  ])oor,  but  some 
good  stock  is  being  sliijtped  in.  There 
is  an  abundance  of  gladioli,  which  have 
brought  a  fair  price,  but  a  glut  soon 
is  expected.  Sweet  peas  are  about 
done. 

Other  stock  arriving  consists  of  as- 
ters, cornflowers,  calendulas,  candy- 
tuft and  larkspurs.  There  is  little  call 
for  any  of  them  except  asters.  Valley 
continues  scarce  and  Easter  lilies  clean 
up  daily.  There  is  a  good  supply  of 
greens,   with    the   exception   of    smilax. 

Various  Notes, 

The  Retail  Florists'  Association  held 
its  regular  meeting  July  16  at  Mission 
Inn  Garden.  It  was  well  attended. 
President  F.  H.  Weber  says  that  the 
interest  the  members  have  taken  in  the 
association  recently  augurs  well  for  an 
increased  membership  in  the  fall.

are  on  a  vacation  trip  of  several  weeks 
to  Boston,  New  York  and  Philadelphia. 

S.  E.  Cerny  is  adding  a  new  green- 
liouse,  36x100,  to  his  range  at  Kirk- 
wood.  Mr.  Cerny  had  a  most  successful 
season  with  roses  and  carnations. 

Thomas  C.  Carr,  who  has  a  stand  at 
the  Union  depot,  says  business  is  ex- 
cellent. 

The  assets  of  the  Kelly  Floral  Co. 
were  sold  at  auction  July  19  by  order  of 
the  receiver.  The  stock  and  fixtures 
brought  fair  prices.  Receiver  Evans 
says  that  the  company  had  many  good 
accounts  on  its  books,  a  number  of 
which  have  been  collected.  He  believes 
the  creditors  will  get  a  large  proportion 
of  their  claims. 

J.  J.  Windier  and  Mrs.  Windier  with  a 
party  of  friends  spent  last  week  at  Hill- 
crest,  a  bathing  and  fishing  resort.  Ed- 
ward Guntly,  in  the  store  with  Mr. 
Windier,  left  on  his  vacation  when  Mr. 
Windier  returned. 

Guy  M.  Reburn,  of  Chicago,  spent 
last  week  here,  calling  on  the  trade. 
Mr.  Reburn  remained  over  for  the  flo- 
rists' picnic  at  Ramona  park  July  26. 
He  says  business  has  been  excellent. 

Charles  Meier,  the  Kirkwood  grower, 
has  disposed  of  his  old  boiler  and  is  in- 
stalling one  of  the  largest  manufactured 
by  the  Kroeschell  Bros.  Co.,  Chicago. 

L.  P.  Jensen  and  Ernest  Strehle  are 
devoting  their  spare  time  to  making 
arrangements  for  tho  invention  of 
park  superintendents,  which  meets  here 
September  11  to  13. 

Thomas  Kirkwood  &  Sons  are  prepar- 
ing some  of  their  houses  at  Kirkwood 
for  carnations.  Several  other  houses 
are  being  made  ready  for  sweet  peas 
and  violets. 

Albert  P.  Scheidegger  and  his  son, 
Albert,  Jr.,  spent  several  days  last  week 
visiting  friends  at  Washington,  Mo. 

Walter  Young,  secretary  of  C.  Young 
&  Sons  Co.,  last  week  went  with  Battery 
A,  of  which  he  is  a  member,  to  Flat 
River,  Mo.,  called  by  labor  troubles. 

During  the  race  rioting  at  East  St. 
Louis  several  weeks  ago,  it  has  become 
known,  Frank  Gorly  rescued  his  mother,

he  took  her  away  in  an  automobile  they 
were  fired  upon  by  the  rioters.  Mrs. 
Gorly  is  now  in  Kansas  City  with 
friends,  recuperating  from  her  exciting 
experience.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Vincent 
Gorly  are  at  South  Haven,  Mich.,  for  a 
week  and,  upon  their  return,  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Frank  Gorly  expect  to  make  a  trip 
east  and  will  attend  the  S.  A.  F.  con- 
vention at  New  York. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Henry  Berning  are 
planning  to  take  a  trip  to  Colorado. 
They  will  be  gone  two  weeks. 

Jules  Bourdet,  state  vice-president  of 
tlie  S.  A.  F.,  and  J.  J.  Beneke  visited 
a  number  of  the  growers  in  St.  Louis 
county  July  22  in  the  interests  of  the 
S.  A.  F.  and  the  National  Flower  Show. 
Mr.  Bourdet  says  there  will  be  a  big 
gain  in  the  membership  of  the  society 
in  and  near  St.  Louis.  He  is  counting 
on  an  enrollment  of  100  new  members 
from  the  St.  Louis  Florists'  Club.  The 
St.  Louis  delegation  to  the  convention 
in  New  York,  August  21  to  23,  will  go 
by  way  of  the  Pennsylvania  railroad. 
An  attempt  is  being  made  to  get  Presi- 
dent E.  C.  Kerr,  of  Houston,  Tex.,  to 
accompanv  the  local  delegation.

The  Market. 

Tlic  dullest  midsummer  was  broken 
last  week  by  a  large  demand  for  funeral 
work;  in  fact,  last  week  was  the  busiest 
of  July. 

Gladioli  are  taking  tlie  lead  these 
days  and  asters  are  arriving  in  fine 
shape,  the  recent  rains  and  warm  weath- 
er having  brought  them  out  in  large 
numbers.  Among  roses  Russell  and 
Ophelia  take  the  lead.  Eussell  is  noted 
for  its  fine  keeping  qualities,  one  re- 
tailer stating  that  he  would  not  handle 
any  other  pink  when  Russell  is  avail- 
able.    There  is  a  large  supply  of  Easter

lilies  and  outdoor  sweet  peas.  Some  of 
the  local  growers  are  still  picking  car- 
nations, but  the  quality  is  nothing  to 
brag  about. 

A  new  arrival  last  week  was  achillea, 
which  retails  at  50  cents  per  bunch. 
This  flower  resembles  stevia  and  is  ad- 
mirable for  funeral  work.  Hollyhocks 
make  striking  store  decorations  and  out- 
door Japanese  irises  are  especially  use- 
ful in  table  decorations.  Double  pop- 
pies also  prove  to  have  good  decorative 
value.  A  few  early  dahlias  are  in 
bloom  and  outdoor  roses  are  markedly 
abundant  this  year.  Kubrum  lilies  are 
plentiful;  so  are  asparagus  greens. 

The  carnation  plants  in  the  field  are 
developing  rapidly,  thanks  to  the  soak- 
ing rains.  Other  field-grown  flowers  in 
the  market  are  cornflowers,  cosmos, 
Shasta  daisies,  salpiglossis,  gypsophilas 
and  snapdragons. 

Various  Notes. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Edward  Lanternier  and 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Clem  Lanternier  have  re- 
turned from  a  motor  trip  to  Defiance,  O., 
wlioro  they  were  the  guests  of  Christ 
Winterich,  the  cyclamen  expert.  They 
report  Mr.  Winterich 's  stock  in  excel- 
lent condition. 

The  men  at  the  Veaey  greenhouses 
are  busy  replanting  roses.  They  are  still 
cutting  carnations,  as  well  as  asters, 
l^ruiinor  and  Tipperary  roses.  This 
firm  will  plant  several  houses  to  vege- 
talilos  this  fall. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Aaron  Sliive  motored  to 
Columbia  City  and  Tri-Lakes  for  the 
week  end.  They  were  accomj>anied  by 
tlieir  eliildren. 

A.  J.  Lanternier  &  Co.  are  cutting 
some  extra  fine  gladioli.  Roses  and 
carnations  have  met  with  a  good  de- 
mand in  funeral  work,  of  which  there 
has    been    an    unusually    large    amount. 

The  Flick  Floral  Co.  sent  out  three 
large    casket    covers    last    week.      Mrs.

Should  Florists  Cut  Down  Output? 

July  9  I  dropped  in  at  the  meeting  of 
the  Florists'  Club.  I  did  not  expect  to 
find  many  there  or  at  this  season  to  hear 
much  business  discussed,  but  in  both  I 
was  wrong,  as  there  was  a  good  number 
of  the  boys  present  and  the  main  ques- 
tion of  the  evening  was:  "Should  flo- 
rists grow  as  much  stock  as  formerly? 
In  these  times  of  commercial  unrest  will 
there  be  a  demand  for  their  product?" 
The  subject  was  discussed  at  some 
length,  but  was  not  finished,  as  it  was 
the  opinion  of  many  that  it  was  a  na- 
tional question  and  should  be  taken  up 
by  the  S.  A.  F.  at  the  New  York  con- 
vention. It  was  made  the  order  of  busi- 
ness for  the  next  meeting  of  the  club, 
which  will  be  held  in  August,  prior  to 
the  convention,  in  order  that  we  may 
be  in  a  position  to  present  to  the  con- 
vention the  opinions  of  Maryland  flo- 
rists on  this  vital  question. 

This  article  will  be  in  the  hands  of 
members  of  the  club  before  that  meet- 
ing, so  I  think  it  might  be  well  to  an- 
alyze the  question  thoroughly  before 
the  meeting  takes  place. 

Is  there  sufficient  reason  for  any  flo- 
rist to  curtail  his  output?  The  first 
thought  that  comes  to  me  is  that  the  only 
reason  for  a  reduction  in  production 
would  be  when  the  public  stops  using 
flowers,  and  we  certainly  could  not 
blame  the  public  much  if  we  are  ready 
to  quit  ourselves. 

Closed  Houses  Tie  Up  Investment. 

I  would  suggest  that  every  florist  who 
reads  this  take  the  copy  of  The  Re- 
view for  May  24,  turn  to  the  last  page 
and  read  the  advertisement  of  the 
American  Greenhouse  Mfg.  Co.  I  would 
like  to  liave  readers  note  the  line  of 
argument  the  company 's  advertising 
man  is  using  at  this  time  of  stress.  The 
builders  are  in  exactly  the  same  position 
as  the  florists,  for  if  flowers  are  to  be 
curtailed  there  will  be  no  need  for  new 
greenhouses.  Yes,  I  can  hear  those  who 
class  themselves  as  conservatives  say: 
"Oh!  biit  advertisers  have  an  ax  to 
grind."  I  admit  they  are  right,  but  the 
sooner  the  florists  get  busy  at  the  grind- 
stone the  better  it  will  be  for  them. 

There  is  only  one  way  by  which  any 
florist  can  curtail  his  output,  and  that 
is  by  letting  part  of  his  range  lie  idle.

Can  you  afford  to  do  this?  Figure,  for 
instance,  the  cost  of  the  houses  you 
calculate  to  cut  off  from  the  boiler  and 
see  if  you  can  let  this  amount  of  money 
lie  idle,  to  say  nothing  of  the  wear  and 
tear  on  a  house  that  is  not  being  used. 
A  range  of  houses  is  not  a  thing  that 
can  be  shut  down  till  some  real  or  im- 
aginary calamity  shall  have  passed. 

Let  me  refer  you  to  the  obituary  in 
The  Keview  of  July  5,  page  21;  read 
how  A.  L.  Pennock,  in  1861 — the  first 
year  of  the  Civil  war — founded  a  flo- 
rists' business,  and  how  three  years 
later,  while  the  war  was  still  in  prog- 
ress, he  opened  the  store  of  Pennock 
Bros.  Ask  his  sons,  who  today  are  at 
the  top  of  some  lines  of  the  florists' 
business,  and  I  am  sure  they  will  tell 
you  that  their  success  dates  back  to  the 
time  when  the  pioneer  had  the  courage 
to  embark  in  a  new  enterprise  when  his 
country  was  in  the  throes  of  internal 
strife  and  when  flowers  did  not  have  the 
same  hold  on  the  public  they  have  to- 
day. 

Other  Facts  That  Cheer, 

As  I  listened  to  men  whom  I  have 
watched  from  childhood,  whom  I  have 
seen  climb  step  by  step  in  establishing 
their  business,  often  surmounting  ob- 
stacles that  seemed  insurmountable,  but 
who  now  are  ready  to  throw  up  their 
hands  at  the  future  outlook,  I  realize 
as  never  before  the  baneful  influences

nSCHER  BROS. 
A.  C.  BROWN, 

LARGE  GREENHOUSES 

of  war.  But  let  us  go  deeper  into  this 
question  and  see  if  we  cannot  find  a 
reason  why  the  florists  of  this  country 
should  take  the  tip  suggested  by  the  ad- 
vertisement of  the  American  Green- 
house Mfg.  Co.,  and,  instead  of  curtail- 
ing production,  increase  it. 

The  florists'  business  has  been  in- 
creasing in  volume  year  by  year,  thanks 
to  the  florists  themselves,  who  have 
been  educating  the  public  to  the  use  of 
flowers.  The  people  are  now  accus- 
tomed to  flowers,  and  there  is  only  one 
thing  that  will  stop  the  continued  use 
of  them — scarcity  of  money.  Now  let 
me  remind  you  that  the  vast  loans  made 
to  the  Allies,  at  a  good  rate  of  interest, 
are  all  being  spent  in  this  country  for 
foodstuffs,  clothing,  ammunition,  etc. 
Consequently  we  see  where  the  Ameri- 
can people  reap  two  profits  from  these 
loans. 

Commercially,  people  of  the  country 
may  be  divided  into  two  general 
classes:  Those  who  live  on  incomes, 
that  is,  on  money  invested;  those  who 
are  producers,  workers,  such  as  the 
farmer,  the  miner,  the  mechanic  and 
florist.  Now  take  the  first  class.  I  will 
admit  that  tlie  moneyed  people  are  the 
best  customers  of  the  florist,  and  I  real- 
ize that  they  will  be  hard  hit — the  in- 
come tax,  the  higher  cost  of  everything, 
etc.  It  is  only  natural,  therefore,  that 
they  should  economize,  and  perhaps 
flowers  will  be  one  of  the  things  they 
will  practice  economy  on. 

But  there  is  the  producing  class.  Just 
think  of  the  large  increase  in  the  ranks 
of  these;  think  of  the  increased  labor, 
wages,  etc.  Labor  is  the  basis  of  all 
wealth,  and  everybody  knows  that  sup- 
ply and  demand  regulate  all  prices. 
Then  is  it  not  reasonable  to  assume  that 
those  who  have  their  labor  for  sale  will 
get  more  for  it  than  ever?  Will  this 
not  put  more  money  into  circulation, 
and  counteract  any  economy  that  may 
be  practiced  by  some  of  those  who  have 
been  regular  flower  buyers?  I  firmly  be- 
lieve that  the  advertising  man  quoted 
has  the  right  "dope,"  that  conditions, 
in  realitv,  are  the  florist's  opportunity.

Seed  Trade  News 


AMERICAN  SEED   TRADE  ASSOCIATION, 
President,  F.  W.  Bolglnno,  Washington,  D.  C. ; 
Secretary-Treasurer,   C.  E.  Kendel,  Cleveland,  O. 

11.  B.  Ruck,  of  W.  E.  Marshall  &  Co., 
New  York,  died  July  21. 

Keports  from  Michigan  show  that 
beans  are  growing  nicely,  with  weather 
conditions  favorable.  The  crop  is  now 
looking  good. 

Carlos  Jensen,  representing  L. 
Daehnfeldt,  Odense,  Denmark,  is  making 
a  trip  in  the  United  States,  almost  the 
only  European  traveler  to  visit  the  seed 
trade  here  this  year. 

Repopts  from  California  indicate  that 
onion  seed  has  been  badly  burned,  espe- 
cially in  the  river  section.  Growers  have 
not  as  yet  thoroughly  checked  up  the 
damage,  but  feel  that  the  crop  will  be 
cut  from  twenty-five  to  forty  per  cent. 

According  to  the  U.  S.  Department  of 
Agriculture,  138,900  acres  of  watermelons 
were  planted  this  season  and  58,650  acres 
of  cantaloupes,  which  will  give  an  idea  of 
what  the  seed  requirements  would  l)e  if  it 
were  not  for  the  home-saved  seed  tliat  is 
used. 

Articles  of  incorporation  were  filed 
July  11  with  the  secretary  of  state  at  Des 
Moines.  la.,  by  the  Adams  Seed  Co.,  of 
Decorah,  capitalized  at  $350,000.  Burton 
H.  Adams  is  the  president  of  the  company 
and  Walter  C.  Adams  its  secretary  and 
treasurer. 

John  C.  Leonard,  of  the  Leonard  Seed 
Co.,  Chicago,  who  has  just  returned  from 
a  short  trip  througli  Wisconsin,  inspect- 
ing the  peas  grown  by  the  company 
around  Columbus  and  Marsliall,  reports 
the  yield  probably  will  not  exceed  sixty 
to  seventy-five  per  cent  of  a  crop,  as 
nearly  as  can  be  estimated  at  this  time. 
Canning  factories  are  finished  witli  the 
early  pack  of  Alaskas  and  will  start  on 
Horsfords  and  later  varieties  at  once. 

Many  American  seedsmen  have  had 
dealings  with  J.  K.  King  &  Sons,  Cogges- 
hall,  England,  and  will  learn  with  special 
regret  of  the  dcatli  of  Herbert  T.  King, 
head  of  the  firm,  Mr.  King  and  his  man- 
ager, J.  H.  Millard,  were  inspecting  seed 
crops  in  Lincolnshire  June  13,  when  a 
German  airplane  dropped  bombs  on  the 
station  at  which  they  had  just  alighted. 
The  first  bomb  killed  Mr.  King  instantly 
and  the  second  wounded  his  companion. 

TiiK  seed  grower  who  says  peas  are 
poor  in  Wisconsin  and  Michigan  appears 
to  have  the  weight  of  evidence  on  his 
side.  Although  the  government  report  on 
canncTs'  crops  put  Wisconsin  i)ens  at 
eighty-four  per  cent  July  1,  and  the 
Michigan  crop  at  eignty-tvvo,  the  grocery 
trade  publications  are  quoting  canncrs 
as  saying  the  condition  in  botli  states  is 
much  lower,  due  to  excessive  rains.  In 
Xew  York  state  the  pea  pack  now  is  esti- 
mated at  from  fifty  to  sixty-five  per  cent 
of  last  year 's,  varying  with  the  locality.

HENRY  F.  NCHELL  CO.,  sis  n»ket  a,  Philadelphia 


The  demand  for  bulbs  of  Calla  83thi- 
opica  is  not  what  it  was  before  the  God- 
frey calla  came  into  favor,  but  it  is  likely 
to  consume  all  of  ^  California's  crop  of 
bulbs. 

There  is  a  feeling  that  some  of  the  lily 
bulb  importers  have  oversold,  or  that  they 
have  booked  too  much  business  at  low 
prices.  The  market  for  giganteums  in 
Yokohama  is  said  to  be  much  stronger 
than  early  in  the  season. 

It  is  reported  that  tiie  prohibitions  of 
exports  in  force  in  Denmark  have  been  ex- 
tended so  as  to  apply  to  *  *  all  kinds  of 
seeds,  including  seed  tailings  and  seed 
waste  not  formerly  prohibited. ' '  Until 
the  full  text  is  to  hand,  it  is  difficult  to 
say  exactly  what  this  may  mean,  but  if 
the  order  includes  vegetable  seeds,  it 
will  be  rather  a  serious  matter,  as  the 
American  seed  trade  makes  large  pur- 
chases from  Denmark. 

Onion  sets  at  Chicago  have  made  a  re- 
markable growth  in  the  last  three  or  four 
weeks.  Showers  and  good  rains  have 
forced  growth  along  until  now  the  tops 
are  quite  heavy  and  inspections  made 
about  July  20  show  some  sots  beginning 
to  bottom,  and  indications  in  more  ad- 
vanced fields  of  tops  going  down.  A  week 
or  ten  days  of  warm,  dry  weather  now 
would  be  just  what  the  sets  need  to  make 
nice  keeping  stock.  The  crop  under  such 
conditions  will  undoubtedly  bo  good.  On 
the  other  hand,  much  more  wot  weather 
would  do  a  good  deal  of  damage,  especial- 
ly in  fields  where  tops  are  t^o  lieavy,  caus- 
ing a  great  deal. of  rotting  and  spoiling 
in  the  field. 


STAMP   TAX  ON  PARCELS. 

There  has  como  to  my  attention,  as 
chairman  of  the  ])ostal  laws  commit- 
tee of  the  American  Seed  Trade  Associ- 
ation, a  clause  which  appears  on  page  70 
of  the  War  Revenue  Bill,  now  before 
Congress,  which  is  known  as  House  Res- 
olution No.  4280.  This  clause  reads  as 
follows: 

PARCEL  POST  PACKAGES. 

Upon  every  parcel  or  parkiiKc  transported  from 
one  point  in  tlie  United  States  to  another  by  par- 
cel i)ost,  a  tax  of  1  cent  for  each  25  cents  or 
fractional   part   thereof   charged    for  sucli    trans-

Pansy  Seed  see  my  ad  of  the 
previous  week. 


portution  shall  bo  paid  by  tlie  consignor.  No 
sucli  parcel  or  paciiace  sliall  be  transiwrted  until 
a  stamp  representing  tliis  tax  siiall  liave  been 
affixed. 

I  am  reliably  informed  that  this 
clause  will  impose  a  minimum  tax  of  1 
cent  on  all  parcel  post  packages.  This 
has  been  construed  by  the  Postoffice  De- 
partment as  a  tax  on  all  catalogues, 
booklets  and  pamphlets  that  contain 
more  than  twenty-four  pages. 

You  can  see  that  this  is  a  disaster  in 
so  far   as    any   house    that   mails   cata- 
logues is  concerned,  for,  notwithstand- 
ing the  fact  that  catalogues  are  third- 
class   matter,    they    are    handled    under 
fourth-class     mail     provisions,      except 
that  they  have  the  rate  of  two  ounces 
for    1   cent   up   to' and  including   eight 
ounces;    beyond    that    weight    they   are 
handled  as  parcel  post,  and  if  this  new 
opinion  of  the  Postoffice  Department  be- 
comes practice,  it  seems  that  every  cata- 
logue you  or  I  or  anyone  else  sends  out 
must  iiave  this  war  tax   stamp  affixed 
to  each  bag,  envelope  or  container.     If 
you  are  mailing  a  1-cent  catalogue  your 
"postage  will  be  increased  100  per  cent; 
if  a  2-cent  catalogue,  fifty  per  cent,  and 
so  on. 

The  worst  feature  is  that  it  kills  all 
the  advantage  of  the  present  permit 
system  of  paying  the  postage  in  bulk. 
All  of  us  must  of  necessity  rehandle  our 
catalogue  bags  twice  in  order  to  affix 
this  stamp. 

We  believe  that  this  is  an  unjust  tax, 
as  the  government  is  taxing  the  means 
by  which  business  is  created.  It  also 
])recludes  the  possibility  of  the  distri- 
bution of  much  catalogue  matter,  which 
in  turn  produces  an  enormous  first-class 
mail,  money  order  and  parcel  post  busi- 
ness. 

It  is  something  that  should  have  the 
opposition  of  every  business  man  and 
every  line  of  business.  It  is  a  direct 
blow  to  the  industry  of  paper  making, 
printing,  lithographic  business,  color 
printing  business,  ink  business  and 
many  lines  that  have  a  bearing  on  cata- 
logue construction,  and  it  certainly  will 
hit  every  house  that  publishes  a  cata- 
logue or'  advertising  of  any  kind  that 
has  more  than  twenty-four  pages.

BURPEE'S  SWEET  PEAS 


NEW  EARLY  OR  WINTER-FLOWERINQ  SPENCERS 

With  a  keen  appreciation  of  the  splendid  future  of  the  Sweet  Pea,  and 
particularly  of  New  Early  Winter-flowering  or  Long  Season  Spencers,  we 
began  crossing  the  Spencer-flowering  Sweet  Peas  with  the  Early  or  Win- 
ter-flowering Grandiflora  as  far  back  as  the  summer  of  1909.  Later  we 
have  been  using  that  magnificent  Australian  variety,  "Yarrawa,"  to  a 
great  extent  in  our  crosses. 

We  now  otter  with  the  greatest  confidence  the  splendid  Novelties  listed  below. 
These  are  all  true,  ihoroughly  fixed  in  type  and  are  a  «reat  improvement  on  our 
various  colors. 

From  Eowirg  made  under  glass  in  August  ihey  may  be  flowered  in  time  for 

Thanksgiving.  September  sowing  will  produce  the 
finest  of  flowers  by  Christmas.  If  grown  in  the  open 
they  flower  Feveral  weeks  ahead  of  the  Standard  or 
Summer-flowering  Spencers,  and  with  proper  treat- 
->,  ment  continue  to  bloom  quite  as  long  as  that  lype. 

Nine  of  these  varieties  were  awarded  nineteen 
Certificates  of  Merit  by  the  following: 
Pennsylvania  Horticultural  Society,  Philadelphia. 
American  Sweet  Pea  Society,  San  ii'rancisco. 
The  International  Show,  New  York.

the  semester  beginning  September  24. 
While  no  awards  will  be  given,  all  seed 
growers  of  the  state  are  invited  to  send 
samples  of  their  crops,  which  will  he 
judged  according  to  merit. 

Plans  for  a  seed  farm  are  being  pro- 
iected  by  Phil  O'Connell  and  J.  E. 
Henry,  on  their  Eoberts  island  ranch, 
which  they  recently  purchased  from  J. 
E.  Lynch.  The  place  is  at  Woodsbro, 
Cal.,  and  consists  of  140  acres.  The 
Santa  Fe  tracks  are  on  one  side  and  the 
San  Joaquin  river  on  the  otlier.  Ar- 
rangements have  already  been  made  by 
Messrs.  O'Connell  and  Henry  with  the 
Kini])crliu  Seed  Co.,  of  Santa  Clara,  to 
furnish  stock  seeds.  Sweet  peas  will 
be  tried,  as  well  as  onions,  lettuce, 
spinach,  etc. 

Waldo  Rohnert,  of  Hollister  and  Gil- 
roy,  (-'al.,  has  shown  his  faith  in  the 
San  Joatjuin  delta  section  by  the  pur- 
chase of  the  J.  .7.  Hickey  ranch,  in  the 
New  Hope  pocket,  consisting  of  417 
acres.  He  already  controls  the  output 
of  a  large  acreage  of  land  in  this  sec- 
tion, as  well  as  a  large  acreage  in  Santa 
Clara  and  San  B«nito  counties.  It  is  Mr. 
Rohnert 's  intention  to  use  the  Hickey 
ranch  as  an  experimental  farm  in  de 
veloping  vegetable  seeds.  It  will  be 
under  the  supervision  of  J.  M.  Burchell.

The  Florists  Review 


July  26,  1917. 


KANSAS  CITY,  MO. 


The  Market. 

There  was  a  shortage  of  good  stock  iu 
the  market  last  week.  With  the  excep- 
tion of  gladioli,  lilies  and  a  few  Eussoll 
roses,  all  items  were  of  inferior  quality. 
There  were  many  delphiniums  and 
phloxes  in  the  market,  but  they  found 
little  sale.  Summer-blooming  begonias 
are  in  the  market  and  sell  well,  es- 
pecially for  hospital  orders.  Local 
growers  expect  to  begin  cutting  asters 
soon,  which  will  help  out  the  supply. 

Business  last  week  was  exceptionally 
good,  there  being  many  calls  for  funeral 
work  and  many  orders  for  llowers  to  be 
sent  to  hospitals.  Sales  of  the  latter 
class  have  been  unusually  large  this 
summer. 

Various  Notes. 

The  members  of  the  trade  in  Kansas 
City  who  were  among  those  drafted  for 
army  service  are  Ernest  Moore,  with  the 
William  L.  Eock  Flower  Co.;  Howard 
Bartlow,  of  the  Alpha  Floral  Co.;  Will- 
iam Miller,  with  Samuel  Murray;  Fred 
Hprst,  with  Arthur  Newell;  Oscar  Jos- 
lin,  with  W.  J.  Barnes,  and  Curtis  Hun- 
ter, with  E.  A.  Humfeld. 

James  Payne  is  moving  his  establish- 
ment to  the  northeast  corner  of  Forty- 
third  street  and  the  State  Line  road. 
Mr.  Payne  already  has  several  houses 
erected  and  ready  for  the  transfer  of 
stock.  When  completed  the  new  estab- 
lishment will  be  the  same  size  as  the 
old  one,  but  more  modern. 

The  William  L.  Eock  Flower  Co.  had 
one  of  the  largest  decorations  of  the 
year  at  the  Muehlbach  hotel  recently. 
The  large  ballroom  was  latticed  over 
and  huckleberry  foliage  and  gray  moss 
were  used.  The  floor  was  made  to  rep- 
resent a  large  sunken  garden,  with  an 
electric  fountain  in  the  center. 

A.  Newell  had  an  especially  good 
week.  He  made  several  large  designs 
for  the  funeral  of  a  prominent  man, 
besides  having  orders  for  a  number  of 
baskets  to  be  sent  to  hospitals. 

,The  Geo.  M.  Kellogg  Flower  &  Plant 
Co.  had  several  houses  damaged  by  wind 
recently.  They  were  torn  down  and  re- 
built. The  company  has  rebuilt  six 
houses  this  year.  Miss  Brown,  with  the 
Kellogg  company,  is  in  Colorado  on  her 
vacation.     Mr.  Kidd  also  is  away. 

E.  A.  Humfeld  is  cutting  some  gooil 
asters.  He  has  just  returned  from  Dal- 
las, Tex.,  and  expects  to  sjicnd  the  rest 
of  tlic  summer  at  liis  farm  in  the  Ozark 
mountains. 

Visitors  last  week  were  Edgar  Hall, 
manager  of  the  Hyde  Park  Floral  Co., 
Austin,  Tex.,  and  Charles  F.  Heacock, 
manager  of  Hillyer's  Flower  Shop,  also 
of  Austin. 

Charles  Thomas  says  business  lias 
been  satisfactory  during  his  short  ex- 
perience in  the  greenhouse  business  and 
he  expects  it  to  be  better  next  season.

ROCK    SPRINGS,   WYO. 

War  does  not  affect  business  in  this 
scvtion,  except  to  make  it  better.  Sum- 
mer busine.ss  so  far  has  been  twenty- 
live  per  cent  better  than  last  year. 

July  9  there  had  been  no  rain  for  a 
month,  but  that  does  not  affect  the 
country,  as  almost  all  gardens  and 
farms  are  irrigated.  Having  had 
heavy  snows  in  the  mountains,  there  is 
enough  water  in  the  ditches  daily  to 
supply  all  needs. 

Eastern  tourists  furnish  considerable 
business  for  the  florists.  The  tourists 
come  here  for  fish  in  the  mountain 
lakes,  which  are  surrounded  by  snow. 

The  temperature  reaches  80  or  90 
degrees  during  the  day,  and  goes  as 
low  as  30  and  40  at  night.  There  is 
never  a  month  without  frost,  but  it 
is  not  severe  enough  to  hurt  vegetation. 
Tomatoes,  cucumbers  and  melons  are 
grown  outdoors.  S.  B.  W. 

Wichita,  Kan.— Charles  P.  Mueller 
has  his  roses  planted  and  chrysanthe- 
mums benched,  and  is  now  planting  car- 
nations. All  his  stock  is  in  prime  con- 
dition. Dry  weather  has  caused  out- 
door stock  to  suffer.

Vancouver,  B.  C. — Leo  Eckstrand,  821 
Tenth  avenue,  west,  who  is  a  grower  of 
wide  experience,  has  a  new  seedling  rose 
which  he  calls  Canadian  Beauty  and 
which  he  describes  as  follows:  "It  is 
for  all  the  world  like  the  old  American 
Beauty,  only  it  appears  to  be  a  more 
free  bloomer  and  is  not  troubled  by  mil- 
dew or  black  spot  under  the  most  ad- 
verse conditions,  which  is  saying  some- 
thing." He  will  give  the  variety  a 
thorough  test  with  a  view  to  its  dissem- 
ination if  it  makes  good. 


LOS  ANGELES,  CAL. 


The  Market. 

The  unusually  high  temperatures, 
combined  with  a  humidity  seldom 
equaled  in  this  section,  have  not  been 
conducive  to  brisk  business;  bu^t,  on 
the  whole,  the  week  has  been  fairly 
good.  The  arrival  of  a  few  new-crop 
carn.-itious  has  provided  better  stock 
for  shipping,  and  should  the  weather 
become  cooler  there  will  be  more  of 
this  class  of  stock.  At  present  it  is 
snapped  up  quickly,  at  higher  prices. 
Indoor  carnations  are  still  poor. 

Eoses  are  of  moderate  quality  only, 
the  long-stemmed  stock  having  such 
small  flowers  that  it  is  not  worth  the 
money  asked.  Gladioli  have  shortened 
up  considerably.  Asters  are  improving, 
and  as  the  flowers  come  in  from  the 
cooler  beach  sections  they  will  still 
further  improve.  The  large  double 
African  marigolds  are  fine  for  large 
decorations,  and  on  account  of  their 
lasting  qualities  they  ship  well  to  dis- 
tant points.  Dahlias  are  improving  in 
quality  and  more  of  them  are  being  han- 
dled. Golden  West,  Minnie  Burgle 
and  Delice  are  popular  varieties,  but 
several  of  the  newer  ones  are  running 
them  hard.  Funeral  work  has  first  call 
for  stock,  but  there  have  been  a  few 
good  decorations,  wedding  and  other- 
wise, that  have  helped  out  consider- 
ably. 

Various  Notes. 

Oscar  Johanssen,  of  the  Johansson 
Seed  Co.,  says  that  although  the  heat 
did  some  damage  to  his  stands  of  flower 
seed,  there  is  still  a  good  crop.  The 
soil  at  El  Monte,  wliere  the  principal 
flower  seed  crops  are  grown,  is  natural- 
ly subirrigated  and,  under  the  sur- 
face cultivation  practiced,  forms  a  good 
dust  mulch  that  retains  the  moisture. 
Mrs.  Johansson  is  greatly  improved  in 
health,  but  will  probably  not  take  in 
her  eastern  trip  this  year.  (Jscai-  has 
purchased  a  new  automobile,  his  fre- 
quent trips  north  over  the  rougli  moun- 
tain grades  to  Ran  Luis  Obispo  and  the 
continued  running  to  and  fro  locallv 
having  been   hard  on  the  old  machine. 

Charles  Lewis  lias  again  «one  into  tlie 
movies,  having  another  appointment 
with  a  local  studio.  This  time  he  says 
he  has  left  the  flower  business  for  good. 

As  an  incentive  to  keep  up  the  good 
work  done  during  the  last  season,  and 
in  token  of  the  firm's  appreciation,  the 
Germain  Seed  &  Plant  Co.  has  distrib- 
uted bonuses  among  its  employees 
amounting  to  about  $5,000.    The  season. 


of  course,  has  been  an  extraordinary 
one,  but  the  liberal  spirit  in  which  the 
firm  has  met  its  employees  shows  that 
those  in  authority  have  a  keen  sense  of 
the  value  of  good  service  rendered,  and 
it  is  a  healthy  sign  of  progress.  It  is 
said,  too,  that  both  M.  L.  Germain  and 
M.  Meyberg  are  buying  new  automo- 
biles, another  good  sign.  J.  Marks,  man- 
ager of  the  fertilizer  and  insecticide  de- 
partment, is  starting  on  a  business  trip 
to  the  east.  New  York  being  included  in 
the  itinerary.  Messrs.  Germain  and 
Meyberg  are  also  going  on  an  eastern 
trip. 

Several  finely  decorated  automobiles 
were  seen  in  the  parade  for  the  Belgian 
mission  July  14.  Although  most  of  the 
work  was  done  gratuitously,  a  good 
many  flowers  were  purchased. 

Albert  Beverley,  of  the  Mission  Oak 
Nursery,  Santa  Barbara,  made  a  flying 
trip  to  the  city  this  week,  driving  down 
in  his  machine.  He  says  that  the  heat 
did  considerable  damage  to  his  stock, 
but  that  it  is  coming  out  all  right  now. 

Fred  Sperry  has  returned  from  a 
northern  automobile  trip  as  far  as  Santa 
Cruz  and  other  points,  where  he  looked 
over  the  bulbous  plants  and  other  stock. 

O.  C.  Saake  reports  business  a  little 
slow,  but,  as  he  says,  he  expects  it  at 
this  time  of  the  year.  The  store  win- 
dow, in  fact,  the  whole  store,  is  beauti- 
fully kept  and  some  excellent  stock  is 
shown. 

Wright's  Flower  Shop  had  the  deco- 
rations at  the  Belgian  banquet  at  the 
Alexandria.  A  large  number  of  French 
baskets,  filled  with  hydrangeas  and 
draped  with  English  ivy,  were  suspend- 
ed from  the  ceiling.  The  tables  were 
decorated-  with  Los  Angeles  roses.  It 
was  a  most  tasteful  decoration  and  the 
ivy,  the  emblem  of  the  Belgian  troops, 
proved  to  be  popular.     Thomas  Wright 


says  that  several  of  the  staff  are  away 
on  vacations,  but  that  there  is  plenty 
of  business  to  keep  those  remaining 
closely  on  the  job. 

O.  M.  Morris,  of  the  Morris  &  Snow 
Seed  Co.,  and  his  son  have  returned 
from  their  trip  to  Bear  valley.  They  re- 
ported the  weather  rather  warmer  than 
usual  at  that  altitude,  but  the  fishing 
was  good. 

The  California  Cut  Flower  Co.  re- 
ports business  good  for  this  season.  J 
Kolleri  says  they  are  getting  good  re- 
sults on  long-distance  shipments  of  the 
African  Giant  marigold. 

S.  Murata  &  Co.  report  better  ship- 
ping business  during  the  week,  the  new- 
crop  carnations,  asters  and  Lilium  ru- 
brum  shipping  satisfactorily. 

H.  L.  Freeman  continues  the  June 
window  displays  that  have  been  a  good 
feature   all  season. 

John  Fincken  reports  business  good 
for  the  season.  He  is  developing  a  good 
trade  in  landscape  gardening  and  per- 
petual care  of  private  places,  besides 
which,  his  location  close  to  one  of  the 
larger  cemeteries  is  good  for  funeral 
work. 

The  H.  N.  Gage  Co.  is  sending  in  ex- 
cellent gladioli  from  the  new  El  Monte 
growing  grounds.  The  difference  in  the 
quality  of  these  flowers  and  those  from 
the  older  growing  grounds  seems  to 
prove  that  H.  N.  was  correct  in  his  esti- 
mate of  the  soil  at  El  Monte  for  growing 
bulbous  stock.  The  new  dwarf,  or 
"pompon,"  zinnias  are  also  showy  and 
attractive.  H.  R.  Richards.

Otherwise  business  was  quiet,  although 
only  seasonably  slack.  The  market  af- 
fords a  wonderful  variety  of  outdoor 
flowers  at  this  time  of  the  year.  Zin- 
nias head  the  list  at  present,  both  as  re- 
gards quantity  and  quality.  Some  of 
the  florists  are  inclined  to  think  the 
asking  price  for  this  flower  a  little  too 
high,  but  even  so  a  great  many  of  them 
find  an  outlet.  Gladioli  maintain  their 
popularity  well.  Dahlias  are  becom- 
ing plentiful,  the  best  sellers  being 
Delice,  Minnie  Burgle  and  Mrs.  Kettel- 
well.  The  flowers  are  particularly  fine 
this  year.  Delice  shows  wonderful 
color.  Minnie  Burgle  is  being  used 
extensively  for  striking  display  work, 
its  large,  red  flowers  and  long  stems 
making  it  especially  desirable  for  the 
purpose.  Quite  a  number  of  double 
scabiosas  are  still  coming  in,  and  gail- 
lardias  are  plentiful.  Hydrangeas  are 
showing  up  well  and  tlie  demand  is  all 
that  could  be  desired. 

There  are  enough  roses  for  nearly  all 
requirements,  but  more  really  select 
stock  could  be  utilized  to  good  advan- 
tage. Good  American  Beauties,  Kus- 
sell  and  Ophelia  are  scarce.  There  are 
few  orchids  to  be  had;  in  fact,  orchids 
have  been  on  the  short  side  of  tlie  mar- 
ket most  of  the  time  since  last  fall. 
Gardenias  fill  the  gap  to  a  certain  ex- 
tent. A  few  asters  are  arriving,  but 
it  will  be  about  two  weeks  before  the 
offerings  are  hard  enough  to  sliip.  Car- 
nations are  not  up  to  the  standard,  and 
sweet  j)cas  are  deteriorating  in  quality.

Various  Notes. 

There  was  a  fair  attendance  .at  the 
monthly  meeting  of  the  Pacific  Coast 
Horticultural  Society,  particularly  in

of  the  vacation  season.  In  the  absence

The  picnic  committee  reported  every- 
thing in  readiness  for  the  annual  out- 
ing, which  will  be  held  August  12.  A 
resolution  was  adopted  asking  the  re- 
tailers to  close  up  their  stores  on  that 
day,  in  order  that  both  employees  and 
firm  members  could  participate  in  the 
outing.  The  1918  flower  show  commit- 
tee reported  progress  in  its  plans.  It 
was  decided   to  hold  a   smoker  at   the

Business  remains  dull,  the  hot

The  Market. 


Business  conditions  last  week  were 
good  for  this  season  of  the  year.  Fu- 
neral work,  weddings  and  a  few  parties 
in  honor  of  the  summer  debutantes 
helped  to  enliven  business,  though  the 
quantity  of  garden  flowers  had  its  ef- 
fect on  the  cut  flower  and  corsage  or- 
ders. 

Tourists  have  commenced  to  arrive  in 
large  numbers  from  eastern  points,  and 
the  flower  stores  with  their  large  stocks 
make  a  good  bid  for  business. 

Various  Notes. 

Many  complaints  are  being  heard 
from  north-end  residents  about  the  ef- 
fects of  the  sulphur  fumes  from  the 
smelter  on  lawns,  shrubs  and  flowers. 
In  some  cases  even  the  leaves  of  shade 
trees  are  dropping.

Co.,  is  taking  a  week's  vacation  at  the

Co.,  Centralia,  was  a  visitor  this  week. 

Miss  Bertha  Giertz,  of  the  Hayden- 
Watson  Co.,  an  expert  florist-fisherman, 
departed  last  week  for  a  week 's  fishing 
trip,  destination  unknown.  Last  Sun- 
day morning  she  thought  she  needed  a 
little  practice  in  order  to  be  in  good 
form  for  the  week  's  sport,  so  she  spent 
the  day  out  on  the  bay  with  her  favorite 
line.  The  result,  after  fifteen  minutes' 
hard  struggle,  was  one  30-pound  dog- 
fish. This  fellow  so  disgusted  our  cham- 
pion that  she  kicked  him  overboard, 
only  to  find  the  same  fish  on  her  hook 
ten  minutes  later.  We  wonder  what 
kind  of  bait  she  uses  and  we  will  trade 
our  receipt  for  sunburns  for  her  bait

always  seems  to  be  doing  something 
new  and  on  a  big  scale.  His  latest 
venture  is  in  the  dairj'ing  business  at 
Eureka. 

Mr.  Ward,  because  of  tlic  high  cost 
of  manure,  decided  to  produce  fertilizer 
for  his  needs  upon  the  place.  But,  in- 
stead of  buying  common  cattle,  he  has 
gathered  a  herd  of  prize-winning  milk 
and  butter  producers  and  expects  not 
only  to  produce  manure,  but  to  make 
money  out  of  the  manure  j)roducers. 

The  herd  consists  of  forty-eight  head, 
twenty-one  of  which  are  of  the  famous 
Sans  Aloi  Financial  King  strain  of 
.Terseys  and  cost  .$25,000,  a  bull  and 
three  of  the  cows  rej)resenting  an  in- 
vestment of  $10,000.  Mr.  Ward  recent- 
ly made  a  trip  to  Iowa  to  close  the  deal. 

In  a  page  write-up  of  the  dairy-bulb 
farm  a  San  Francisco  paper  says: 
''Charles  W.  Ward,  wliose  personality 
is  back  of  this  interesting  venture,  is 
not  one  to  build  his  ideas  on  an  insig- 
nificant scale.  He  is  known  througii- 
out  tlie  world  as  the  'bulb  wizard,'  and 
rightly  so,  for  his  Cottage  Gardens 
Nurseries  are  fast  overtlirowing  the 
supremacy  of  Belgium  and  Holland  in 
the  i)roduction  of  rare  and  beautiful 
flowering  bulbs."

Vice-president,  J.  U.  Mayliew,  Waxahachie,

The  Maryland  Agricultural  Experiment 
Station,  at  College  Park,  has  issued  a 
bulletin  entitled  "Fumigation  of  Green- 
bouses,"  by  E.  N.  Cory.  It  deals  only 
with  the  use  of  hydrocyanic  acid  gas. 


WANTS   WHOLESALERS   TO   HELP. 

[Following  are  extracts  from  an  address  by 
M.  U.  Cashnian,  of  Owatonna,  Minn.,  delivered 
at  the  IMiiladelpliia  convention  of  the  American 
Association   of   Nurserymen.] 

The  development  of  tlie  nursery  busi- 
ness in  the  United  States  during  the  last 
forty  years  has  been  so  rapid  that  we 
scarcely  realize  the  wonderful  growth 
that  has  taken  place  in  so  short  a  time. 
Horticulture  in  itself  is  an  intense 
study,  requiring  close  attention  and  pa- 
tient labor  to  produce  successful  re- 
sults. The  nursery  fraternities  have 
been  so  deeply  engaged  in  the  solution 
of  the  big  problem  of  supplying  stock  to 
take  care  of  the  planters'  needs  and 
the  dealers'  requirements,  that  insuf- 
ficient attention  has  been  given  to  the 
development  of  a  commercial  organiza- 
tion to  handle  the  distribution  of  their 
products. 

We  find  no  cause  to  criticize  the  prog- 
ress made  in  the  development  of  the 
growing  end,  or,  rather,  the  propagating 
division,  of  the  nursery  business,  but  I 
regret  to  state  that  I  cannot  find  any 
such  degree  of  advancement  in  the  com- 
mercial field  of  tlie  nurserymen 's  i)rod- 
uct.  It  is  true,  of  course,  that  many 
concerns  have  perfected  and  at  the  pres- 
ent time  are  operating  most  successful 
systems  in  disposing  of  their  products, 
but  upon  investigation  we  find  that  the 
practices  and  business  tactics  of  these 
various  concerns  are  much  at  variance, 
and  it  would  be  difficult  to  amalgamate 
two  or  more  of  them  into  one  successful 
commercial  system.  When  we  enumer- 
ate the  few  successful  concerns  engaged 
in  the  nursery  business  in  the  United 
States,  we  find  that  they  are  scattered 
over  a  broad  territory,  and  the  condi- 
tions surrounding  each  individual  con- 
cern are  much  different  from  those  ex- 
pierienced  by  any  of  the  others. 

Retailer's  Usually  a  Hard  Life? 

Thus  we  find  a  few,  and  only  a  few, 
really  successful  nurserymen  in  the 
country.  The  remainder  are  struggling 
for  an  existence,  operating  under  self- 
made  plans. 

The  small  nurseryman  must  be  a 
farmer,  an  expert  proi)agator,  a  fruit 
grower,  a  labor  foreman,  a  soil  special- 
ist, a  bookkeeper,  a  stenographer,  a 
salesman,  a  financier,  and,  besides  all 
these,  he  must  be  a  general  adviser  for 
his  community  in  tree  doctoring,  tree 
pruning,  spraying,  handling  and  pack- 
ing fruit.    If  he  is  a  failure  in  any  one

of  these  vocations,  he  is  not  considered 
a  thoroujifh  nurseryman.  He  battles 
away,  trying  to  perform  all  of  the  func- 
tions connected  with  his  calling.  He 
thinks  he  is  getting  along  fairly  well, 
until  June  1  comes,  when  he  finds  he  has 
not  made  enough  money  during  the  en- 
tire year  to  pay  his  bills.  He  decides 
that  there  is  something  wrong,  and,  as 
most  men  of  his  class  are  liable  to  do, 
he  makes  up  his  mind  that  lie  is  not 
working  hard  enough,  so  instead  of 
working  twelve  hours  a  day  he  begins 
to  i)ut  in  fifteen.  He  does  not  have  time 
to  look  about  him  and  find  out  what  the 
other  fellow  is  doing;  he  does  not  at- 
tend any  conventions  or  belong  to  any 
associations;  in  fact,  he  does  nothing 
towards  organizing  and  perfecting  the 
commercial  end  of  his  business,  and  thus 
he  puts  in  his  life,  struggling  away  for 
a  bare  existence.  But  it  is  safe  to  say

grower,  and  while  I  am  willing  to  ac- 
knowledge that  those  of  the  retail  divi- 
sion of  the  business  have  been  exceed- 
ingly careless  and  unbusiness-like  in  the 
exercise  of  their  affairs,  I  cannot  but 
feel  that  the  greater  part  of.  the  blame 
in  this  trouble  sliould  ])e  placed  directly 
at  the  door  of  the  so-called  wholesaler. 
Undoubtedly  this  statement  will  bring 
forth  a  storm  of  indignation  from  the 
wholesalers.  They  will  tell  us  that  they 
have  conducted  tlieir  business  in  an 
honest  and  upright  manner,  furnished 
the  retailers  with  stock  at  lowest  pos- 
sible prices,  given  them  credit  until 
their  deliveries  liad  l)een  made,  and 
otherwise  extended  courtesies. 

Now,  we  are  not  denying  any  of  these 
claims;  in  fact,  we  are  ready  to  ac- 
knowledge tlie  many  courtesies  extend- 
ed to  us  by  the  reliable  wholesalers; 
but  what  has  the  wholesaler  failed  to 
do  that  lie  might  have  done!  Has  he 
done  anything  to  protect  the  retailer  in 
the  field  of  trade;  has  he  given  him  any 
encouragement  in  enlarging  his  business 
and  directing  the  way  to  more  extensive 
markets;  has  he  done  anything  toward 
unifying  and  extending  the  hundreds 
of  selling  organizations  maintained  at 
big  ex[)ense  by  the  nurserymen  througli- 
out  tliis  country;  has  the  wliolesaler 
taken  the  lead  in  encouraging  the  sale 
of  the  most  successful  varieties;  has  he 
launched  any  campaign  toward  the  elim- 
ination of  suicidal  methods  and  ])erni- 
cious  practices  that-  have  proved  a 
boomerang  and  a  paralyzing  factor  to 
the  trade;  has  he  undertaken  to  discour- 
age tlie  grot\'ing  of  worthless  varieties 
that  are  so  often  substituted  for  valu- 
able sorts  because  of  their  ease  of  prop- 
agation?

Mr.  Cashmau's  Flan. 

These  are  just  a  few  of  the  pertinent 
queries  that  the  retailer  directs  at  the 
wholesaler  at  this  time.  We  cannot  say 
that  any  effort  whatever  has  been  made 
up  to  this  time  toward  the  carrying  out 
of  a  single  one  of  these  preeminent 
questions.  Is  it  any  wonder  that  there 
is  a  strained  relationship  existing  be- 
tween the  retailer  and  the  wholesaler? 

I  would  suggest  to  the  wholesalers  a 
program  that,  in  my  opinion,  would 
eventually  eliminate  many  of  the  crit- 
icisms offered  by  the  retailers.  I  un- 
derstand that  the  wholesalers  have  an 
organization  maintained  principally  to 
determine  who  of  the  retailers  are 
worthy  of  credit  and  who  are  not.  I  do 
not  know  that  this  association  has  for 
its  purpose  any  other  object.  Now,  why 
could  not  this  wholesale  organization 
establish  a  bureau  employing  a  compe- 
tent man,  with  proper  assistance,  whose 
duty  it  would  be  to  gather  statistics 
and  compile  aggregates  of  all  the  mar- 
ketable and  available  nursery  stock  be- 
ing grown  throughout  the  country?  This 
bureau  could  be  made  a  veritable  bu- 
reau of  information,  a  business  aid  to 
the  rctail"ers.  It  would  help  the  smaller 
man  immeasurablv.

The  Florists^  Review 


July  26,  1917. 


Now  for  Business 

July  and  August  are  SNAPDRAGON  months.  If  fall 
blooms  are  wanted,  plants  must  be  benched  during  these 
months.  Likewise,  seed  must  be -sown  now  if  plants  are 
wanted  to  follow  mums.    So  get  busy  and  have  a 

HOUSE  OF  SNAPDRAGON 

You  are  sure  of  more  money  to  the  square  foot  by  using 
snapdragon  than  from  any  plant  you  can  grow.  They  are  easy 
to  do,  easy  to  sell  and  a  pleasure  from  start  to  finish. 

Fine  plants,  for  immediate  shipment,  of  Silver  Pink,  $6.00  per 
100;  $50.00  per  1000. 

Seed  of  our  famous  Silver  Pink,  $1.00  per  pkt.;  3  for  $2.50; 
7  for  $5.00.  Seed  of  Nelrose,  White,  Yellow,  Garnet,  Light  Pink 
and  Fancy  Mixed,  35c  per  pkt.;  3  for  $1.00.  Free  cultural  direc- 
tions.   All  orders  cash. 

To  the  hustling  florist  there  is  great  hope.    Get  busy.

The  Market. 

.  Hot  weatlier  has  had  an  effect  upon 
the  keeping  qualities  of  stock,  but 
'  there  has  been  no  oversupply  for  the 
steady  demand  in  anythinjj  but  lilies, 
carnations  and  candytuft.  The  demand 
is  for  the  higher-grade  roses  and  sum- 
mer flowers,  such  as  daisies,  lavender 
candytuft,  statice  and  gladioli.  Ameri- 
can Beauty  and  Eussell  roses  have 
shortened  both  in  quantity  and  quality. 
A  few  dahlias  have  reached  the  market. 

Various  Notes. 

Joseph  Streit  has  been  receiving  a 
fine  lot   of  Boston  ferns. 

The  L.  Bemb  Floral  Co.  has  a  summer 
window  display  consisting  of  a  minia- 
ture pond,  with  a  rustic  bridge.  At  the 
back  are  large  rubber  plants,  with  birds 
perched  on  them. 

Robert  Rahaley,  of  the  Michigan  Cut 
Flower  Exchange,  is  the  proud  father 
of  twin  boys  born  July  20.  Mr.  Rahaley 
had  just  extended  congratulations  to 
Robert  Scott,  of  Corfu,  S',  Y.,  over  the 
advent  of  a  girl  at  the  Scott  home, 
when  the  twins  arrived.  Now  the  con- 
gratulations are  mutual. 

John  Beecher,  of  the  Ferry  Flower 
Shop,   was   married   July    18. 

E.  A.  Fetters,  Robert  Rahaley  and 
Albert  Pochelon  returned  last  week 
from  a  motor  trip  to  northern  Michigan.

Greenhouse  Heating. 

Subscribers  are  invited  to  write  the 
Editor  of  this  Department  with  regard  to 
any  details  of  greenhouse  heating  that 
are  not  understood.  But  please  do  not 
ask  The  Review  to  make  a  choice  of  ap- 
paratus for  you.  The  greenhouse  heating 
equipment  advertised  in  this  paper  is,  we 
believe,  the  best  for  the  trade  to  buy, 
and  each  article  the  best  in  the  special 
field  of  its  adaptation. 


HARD  OR  SOFT  COAL? 

Will  you  kindly  advise  me  as  to 
which  is  the  more  economical  coal  for 
me  to  burn,  egg  or  soft?  I  have  6,000 
feet  of  glass  and  have  two  boilers  which 
were  intended  for  hard  coal,  but  since 
the  coal  strike  a  few  years  ago  I  have 
burned  soft  coal,  using  forty-five  to 
fifty  tons  each  vear. 

.T.  R.  P.— X.  H. 


Of  course  the  relative  economy  of  us- 
ing hard  or  soft  coal  will  depend  on  the 
comparative  cost  of  the  two  kinds  of 
fuel,  and  also  on  their  analyses.  With- 
out knowing  wliat  the  coal  would  cost 
or  the  fuel  value  of  the  two  classes  re- 
ferred to,  we  cannot  state  positively 
which  would  be  the  cheaper,  but  a  good 
grade  of  soft  coal  will  furnish  as  many 
thermal  units  as  ordinary  hard  coal,  and 
for  a  range  of  tlie  size  mentioned  we 
believe  tiiat  it  would  be  found  cheaper 
in  the  long  run  to  use  soft  coal  rather 
than  hard,  at  points  where  the  hard  coal 
is  more  tliaii  fifty  ]>er  cent  higher-priced 
than  soft  coal.

After  nsing  your  No.  12  Kroeschell

I  to  install  more  boilers  it  would  be  the 
Kroeschell  and  no  other.  It  really  is  a

desired  heat  in  a  very  short  time.

Regarding  the  Kroeschell,  it  is  the  best 
we  have  ever  had  and  satisfactory  beyond 
our  expectations.  It  heats  up  especially 
quick  and  has  saved  us  considerably  al- 
ready in  the  price  of  fuel.  Whea  we  are 
in  need  of  another  boiler  we  will  give  the 
Kroeschell  the  first  consideration.

The  Kroeschell  Boiler  I  installed  last

without  attention.  I  do  not  have  the

are  made  of  the  best  quality  of  steel,  strongly  riveted  and  calked,  with  no  cast-iron

heaters,  shows  their  economy  and  gives  a  plan  for  heating  a  model  greenhouse.

At  the  east  end  of  the  main  liouse,  and 
extending  it  to  the  same  length  as  the 
narrow  houses,  is  the  boiler  room,  10x45. 

At  present  we  are  heating  the  houses 
with  an  upright  tubular  boiler,  which  is 
rated  at  twenty  horsepower  and  has  a 
30-inch  grate.  We  are  using  soft  coal 
as  fuel  and  are  carrying  a  steam  pres- 
sure of  eighty  pounds  on  the  boiler  and 
twenty  pounds  on  the  pil)es,  using  the 
Morehead  traj)  system.  Tlie  piping,  as 
now  arranged,  consists  of  one  H-ineh 
flow  running  the  length  of  the  large 
house,  under  the  ridge,  and  returning 
through  IVt-inch  pipes  at  the  sides  of 
the  benches.  There  are  four  returns  in 
each  of  the  narrow  houses,  and  fourteen 
in  the  main  house.  The  principal  crop 
is  carnations  and  the  temperature 
wanted  is  50  degrees. 

Will  a  Xo.  311  Furman  sectional  cast- 
iron  boiler  heat  the  houses  to  the  tem- 
perature desired,  if  we  sink  the  boiler 
in  a  pit  and  use  a  low-])ressure  gravity 
system  f  The  grate  of  this  boiler  is 
30x55  inches;  length  of  boiler,  eight  and 
one-half  feet;  width,  four  feet  two 
inches;  number  of  sections,  eleven; 
diameter  of  stack,  sixteen  inches.  Will 
a  3-inch  flow  pipe  be  large  enough  ?  The 
boiler  is  tapj)ed  for  a  4-inch  pipe.  Will 
smokeless  soft  coal  be  satisfactory  or 
should  hard  coal  be  used  ? 

H.  &  W.— X.  Y. 


While  we  have  used  Furman  hot 
water  heaters  and  one  of  the  smaller 
sizes  of  Furman  steam  boilers,  we  have 
never  used  the  size  referred  to  and  can- 
not speak  of  its  capacity  from  personal 
experience.  However,  judging  from  the 
area  of  the  grate,  there  should  be  no 
difficulty  in  heating  the  houses  de- 
scribed with  this  l)oiler,  using  low- 
pressure  steam. 

It  would  be  ])refera})le  to  use  a  4-inch 
main  to  suj)j>ly  the  steam  for  the  three 
houses,  although  a  3-inch  flow  would 
answer  for  the  main  house,  while  a 
2-inch  flow  i)ipe  could  be  used  in  each 
of  the  narrow  houses.  We  would  not 
suggest  any  change  in  the  jiijiing  of  the 
houses,  except  that  if  a  2-inch  flow  pipe 
is  used  in  the  narrow  houses,  only  three 
returns  will  be  needed.  By  using  a

in  greens  is  heavy.  Roses  are  in  good 
supply;  that  is,  there  are  more  tlian 
enough  for  the  present  needs.  The  re- 
ceipts of  choice  stock  in  this  line  are 
somewhat  limited.  Carnations  are  about 
at  an  end  for  the  season  and  the  coming 
week  should  see  the  last  of  them.  Both 
the  Easter  and  rubrum  lilies  are  plen- 
tiful. Hardy  hydrangeas  are  arriving 
in  fairly  large  quantities.  Aster  receipts 
are  about  equal  to  the  present  demands. 
Gladioli  liave  become  quite  plentiful. 
Among  other  offerings  are  snapdragons 
and  larkspurs. 

Greens  are  in  good  supply.  New 
ferns,  leucothoe  and  green  galax  meet 
with  a  large  demand  from  out  of  town. 

Various  Notes.

Profits  in  the  greenhouse  business  are  larger 
than  ever.  What  does  it  matter  if  the  original 
investment  is  a  trifle  greater?  It's  the  per- 
centage of  profit  that  counts  after  all. 

Before  the  advance,  we  contracted  for  a  big 
supply  of  Louisiana  Red  Cypress  lumber.  We 
are  therefore  still  in  a  position  to  make  you 
exceedingly  attractive  prices  on  strictly  guar- 
anteed greenhouse  work.  Write  immediately

house  or  plan  an  addition,  we  believe  that  our  suggestions  will  be  of 
interest  to  you.  Our  material  is  strictly  first-class  both  in  grade  and

npHE  original  Album  of  Designs  was  published  in  response  to  many  ircquests  from  florists  who  felt  the  need  for 
^  an  up-to-date  book  that  could  be  used  in  taking  orders  for  Funeral  Designs,  Wedding  Decorations  and  Bouquets, 
Table  Decorations  and  all  cut  flower  work  where  it  was  not  practicable  to  show  the  customer  the  finished  article  as 
it  would  be  when  ready  for  use.  With  the  publication  of  this  album  it  became  possible  to  show  the  finished  work 
in  beautifully  printed  pictures.  The  first  edition  sold  like  hot  cakes,  a  second  and  third  edition  went  quickly.  Now 
a  fourth  edition  is  off  the  press.    Everything  is  in  it— all  the  standard  designs  and  many  new  pieces. 

96  pages,  nearly  300  designs  and  decorations,  beautifully  printed  on 
heavy  art  paper,  handsomely  bound  in  a  cover  that  will  stand  wear

The  Beautiful  Transformation  of  an  Ugly 

Skyline  Effect 


The  principal  flaw  in  the  top  photo- 
graph is  the  unsightly  effect  produced  by 
dead  branches.  Edged  against  the  sky  is 
a  ragged,  monotonous  outline  in  which 
there  is  a  minimum  of  grace,  symmetry 
and  beauty. 

Now  note  the  lower  photograph — ob- 
serve what  a  wonderful  transformation 
has  been  effected  by  Davey  Tree  Sur- 
geons! 

All  ugly,  dead  branches  have  been  re- 
moved, and  artistic  grouping  has  been 
achieved  by  the  elimination  of  certain 
unimportant  trees  and  bushes.  What  re- 
freshing variety  of  outline  is  now  pre- 
sented, what  charm  lies  in  its  perfect 
simplicity! 

Possibly  your  estate  offers  similar  op- 
portunities for  enhanced  beauty — per- 
haps a  little  judicious  artistry  can  bring 
out  "hidden  wonders"  of  which  you  are 
now  unconscious. 

BUT — be  careful  to  whom  you  entrust 
this  important  work.  Trimming  and  cut- 
ting, incorrectly  done,  is  dangerous. 
Thousands  of  trees  are  lost  every  year 
because  their  owners  do  not  realize  the 
degree  of  highly  expert  knowledge  and 
experience  this  work  requires.  More 
than  half  the  decay  in  trees  is  directly 
traceable  to  improper  trimming. 

Take  tlie  safe  course^ 

— and  put  your  trees  in  the  hands  of 
Davey  Tree  Surgeons.  Tree  Surgery,  as 
they  practice  it,  is  scientifically  accurate 


and  mechanically  perfect — the  result  of 
the  life  study  of  John  Davey,  "The  Fa- 
ther of  Tree  Surgery,"  augmented  and 
refined  by  the  massed  experience  of  the 
greatest  body  of  expert  tree  men  the 
world  has  ever  known. 

Davey  Tree  Surgeons  are  the  only  Tree 
Surgeons  offlcially  endorsed  by  the  Unit- 
ed States  Government.  They  have  treated 
and  saved  the  priceless  trees  at  the  Na- 
tional Capitol,  White  House,  Naval  Ob- 
servatory, Fort  Meyer,  Charleston  (S.  C.) 
Navy  Yard,  Annapolis  Naval  Academy, 
West  Point  Military  Academy,  etc. 

They  are  the  only  Tree  Surgeons  en- 
dorsed by  thousands  of  estate  owners — 
prominent  men  and  women  whose  recom- 
mendations you  can  accept  with  complete 
confidence.  And  they  are  the  only  Tree 
Surgeons  who  are  backed  by  a  successful 
and  responsible  house,  amply  able  to 
make  good  in  every  instance,  and  not 
needing,  for  the  sake  of  temporary  exist- 
ence, to  sacrifice  in  the  slightest  degree 
its  high  standards.

Every  real  Davey  Tree  Snrgreon  is  in  tlie  employ  of  the  Davoy  Tree  Kxpert  Company  and 
the  public  is  cautioned  axrainst  those  falsely  rei>r«'s«>ntinK:  themselves. 


From  Mr.   Lislo   R.   Beardslee. 

WilmiiiKton,    Del. 

"The  work  done  h.v  your 
oompan.v  u))on  an  old  tree 
In  my  yard  is  very  satisfac- 
tory and  a  remarkable  dem- 
onstration of  what  can  be  ac- 
complished by  the  scientific 
methods  followed  by  your 
concern." 

From   Mr.   Arthur  Heurtley, 
The  Northern  Trust  Co., 

Chicago,  111. 
"The  work  done  on  my 
trees  by  your  foreman  and 
his  associates  has  been  verv 
satisfactory,  so  much  so  that 
we  have  been  at  considerable 
jiains  to  canvass  the  neighbor- 
hood so  as  to  give  the  boys 
some  extra  work  while  in  the 
vicinity." 

From  Mr.  Wm.  R.  Kenan,  Jr., 

I^)ckport,   N.    Y. 

"Some  twelve  or  fourteen 
.rears  ago  while  visiting  at  my 
sister's  summer  home  at  Mam- 
aroneck,  N.  Y.,  I  saw  your 
father  with  a  very  large  corps 
doing  tree  surgery  on  that 
place.  It  Impressed  me  so 
forcibly  and,  in  later  years, 
the  results  were  so  convinc- 
ing that,  upon  the  purchase 
of  this  place,  I  concluded  to 
liave  your  company  do  such 
work  as  was  necessary  hero. 
The  work  has  been  entirely 
satisfactory."

TEACHING  PEOPLE  ^ 

TO  USE  THE  R  T.  D. 

Every  retail  florist  is  supposed  to  know  the  workings  of  what  the  trade  calls 
the  F.  T.  D.  service,  but  there  are  thousands  of  flower  buyers  who  have  not  got  the 
idea.  A  summer  window  display  showing  how  the  public  may  send  "flowers  by 
wire"  will  help  in  our  campaign  of  education.

HAT  the  so-called  tele- 
graph delivery  service  is 
not  bringing  so  much  busi- 
ness to  the  trade  as  it 
might  is  due  in  a  great 
measure  to  tlie  haziness 
that  exists  in  the  minds  of 
the  buying  public  about 
the  workings  of  that  serv- 
ice. "Send  flowers  by 
wire,"  urges  the  florist  in  liis  advertis- 
ing, or  ' '  We  are  members  of  the  F.  T.  wire. 
D."  is  a  line  across  his  show  window. 
The  ordinary  person  is  familiar  with  the 
meaning  of  "C,  O.  D."  or  "P.  D.  Q.," 
but  "P.  T.  D. "  is  an  enigma,  and  not  so 
interesting  that  the  casual  observer 
tries  to  solve  it. 

During  a  storm  which  prevents  him 
from  following  his  occupation,  the  fish- 
erman mends  his  nets;  the  farmer  does 
those  things  which  are  necessary,  but 
not  pressing.  During  the  off-season 
business  calm  the  florist  should  be  get- 
ting ready  for  the  storm  of  business 
that  is  sure  to  come.  But  he  should 
not  stop  at  being  prepared  for  that 
which  walks  into  his  store;  he  should 
stimulate  it;  impel  it  to  his  place  of 
business. 

There  is  a  rich  mine 
of  virgin  business  in 
the  P.  T.  D.  service 
that  only  needs  the 
business  machinery 
called  advertising  to 
make  it  one  of  the 
great  sources  of  sales 
for  the  retailer.  Fa- 
miliarize the  public 
with  the  idea  to  such 
an  extent  that  the 
news  of  a  death  or  an 
illness,  or  an  invita- 
tion to  a  wedding  of  a 
relative  or  friend  in  a 
distant  city,  will  in- 
stantlv  bring  vividly 
to  his  "mind  the  F.  T.  D. 

The  Impression. 

He  will  not  think  of 
the  letters,  but  he  will 
think  of  what  he  can 
do  by  merely  stopping 
in  at  the  flower  store 
where  he  usually 
makes  his  purchases. 
He  can — so  runs  his 
thought — give  an  or- 
der to  his  florist  and, 
presto!  flowers  will  be 
at  the  funeral,  or  sick- 
bed, or  wedding  of  the 
distant  one. 


There  are  many  forces  that  are  con- 
stantly working  to  increase  the  flower 
business  called  telegraph  delivery.  The 
officers  of  the  P.  T.  D,  Association  itself, 
and  imost  of  the  members,  are  constantly 
advertising  it;  the  S.  A.  P.  has  done  its 
bit  during  the  year  by  contributing 
$1,000  to  the  publicity  fund  of  the  as- 
sociation. These  forces  are  having  their 
effect  and  each  year  shows  an  increase 
in    the    number    of    flowers    "sent    by 


Every  Little  Bit  Helps. 

.  Florists  everywhere,  non-members  as 
well  as  members,  are  profiting  by  this 
increase  in  the  use^^f  the  system  by  the 
public.  They  will  continue  to  profit  in 
just  such  an  increased  measure  as  they 
give  to  tlie  propaganda  of  the  associa- 
tion. 

What  each  does  may  not  be  much,  but 
every  little  bit  added  to  hundreds  of 
other  "little  bits"  makes  a  sum  total 
that  is  a  miglity  force  toward  increasing 
telegra])h   delivery  business. 

The  florists'  business  is  going  to  be 
good  this  fall;  better,  even,  than  most 
of  those  in  the  trade  expect.     This  as- 


Pretty  Summer  Window,  but  it  Does  Not  Tell  the  F.  T.  D.  Story. 


sertion  is  based  on  authentic  reports  of 
the  condition  of  business  during  the 
summer  months,  which  have  been  as 
good  as,  or  better  than,  the  same  months 
of  previous  years.  But  while  trade  is 
dull  let  us  not  only  be  mending  the  nets 
and  the  harness,  but  also  doing  our 
share  toward  increasing  the  calls  for 
telegraph  delivery  service. 

One  of  the  most  efficient  ways  in  which 
this  can  be  done  is  to  devote  our  dis- 
])lay  windows  to  advertising  this  serv- 
ice during  the  summer  dull  season.  Such 
a  display  does  not  cost  much  in  money, 
but  may  be  as  cheap  or  as  expensive  in 
time  and  thought  as  the  florist  wants  to 
make  it.  But  whatever  he  does  will  be 
a  help  and,  as  has  been  said  before, 
every  little  bit  heli)S. 

Time  and  again  The  Keview  has 
called  the  attention  of  florists  to  this 
subject  and  the  call  has  been  generally 
heeded.  Florists  everywhere  have  put 
in  telegraph  delivery  windows,  both 
simple  and  elaborate.  Those  who  have 
iiad  such  windows  one  year  have  come 
))ack  with  a  better  one  the  next.  Study 
of  how  to  tell  the  story  to  the  public 
by  visualizing  it  has  brought  the  result 
that  each  successive 
window  has  had  more 
"punch"  and  has  been 
more  effective. 

A  Common  Mistake. 


Illustrating  this  ar- 
ticle are  reproductions 
of  photographs  of  win- 
dows used  to  advertise 
a  n  d  familiarize  the 
public  with  the  F.T.D. 
service.  It  will  readily 
])e  seen  that  these  win- 
dows were  not  the  re- 
sult of  a  moment's  or 
an  hour's  thought  or 
work.  How  much  they 
cost  in  money  depends 
upon  the  ability  of 
their  makers  to  do 
much  with  little,  for 
they  certainly  did  not 
do  little  with  much. 
Tlie  accessories  with 
which  they  had  to 
work  are  here  xitilized 
in  a  most  effective 
way. 

Members  of  the  trade 
are  so  familiar  with  the 
F.  T.  D.  and  its  work- 
ings that  they  some- 
times lose  sight  of  the 
fact  that  the  public 
needs    to    be    educated

ning to  acquire  his  education.  Simple 
methods,  methods  that  will  impart  the 
idea  and  teach  it  from  the  ground  up,

that  the  florists  of  the  country  have 
such  a  service  does  not  get  the  effect

the  onlooker  will  be  impressed  with  the 
fact  that  he  can  order  flowers  in  that 
store  and  a  few  hours  later  they  will  be 
delivered  in  a  distant  city. 

There  is  where  the  ingenuity  of  the 
window  dresser  comes  into  play.  He 
must  make  his  window  attractive  and 
at  the  same  time  instructive.  A  de- 
tailed description  of  the  service  pn  a 
card  would  tell  the  story,  but  the 
chances  Q,re  that  few,  if  any,  persons 
would  fii%>  and  rQ^d  it  carefully;  the 
card  is  good,  but  there  must  be  a  dis- 
play that  will  challenge  and  hold  the 
interest  of  the  person  on  the  street  to"" 
such  an  extent  that  he  will  learn  ex- 
actly what  it  is  all  about. 

Do  not  Forget  Flowers. 

One  criticism  that  has  been  made  of 
many  windows  is  that  they  convey  the 
telegraph  idea  at  the  expense  of  the 
fact  that  the  telegraph  is  mecely  used 
as  a  means  to  have  flowers  delivered  in 
other  cities.  The  flowers  themselves 
have  bqen  neglected.  No  person  is 
going  to  order  flowers  delivered  in  an- 
other city  unless  he  deems  flowers  the 
gift  he  wants  to  make.  And  people  who 
buy  flowers  for  others  are  people  who 
buy  flowers  for  themselves,  as  it  is  only 
natural  that  we  should  believe  that  the 
things  we  like  and  are  a  treat  to  us  will 
be  the  same  to  others. 

Do  not  forget  in  making  up  the  tele- 
graph delivery  window  that  flowers  are 
the  things  to  be  sold  and  that  the  tele- 
graph delivery  is  the  means  to  that  end. 
Stock  that  will  answer  the  purpose  of 
conveying  this  idea  is  cheap  at  this  sea- 


son of  the  year  and  will  add  greatly  to 
the  effectiveness  of  the  window. 

The  thing  that  it  is  most  desired  to  im- 
press on  the  florists,  however,  is  that  it 
is  good  business  to  help  advertise  the 
Florists'  Telegraph  Delivery.  Creating 
a  window  display  is  a  real  pleasure,  just 
as  any  creative  work  is.  It  will  add 
business  and  will  give  each  florist  who 
puts  in  a  display  the  satisfaction  of 
knowing  that  he  has  helped  others  just 
as  others  in  the  trade  are  helping  him. 
And  when  Christmas,  or  Easter,  or 
Mothers'  day  comes  around  there  will 
be  the  results  that  are  most  appreciat- 
ed— money  in  the  cash  register. 


FAIR   BOOTH    OR    WINDOW. 

The  F.  T.  D.  idea  is  one  that  can  be 
exploited    at    state    and    county    fairs, 


using  about  the  same  style  of  display 
one  would  use  in  a  show  window.  The 
illustration  on  page  13  shows  such  a 
booth  arranged  by  Kemble  &  Goodman 
at  the  Iowa  state  fair  last  year.  The 
booth  was  divided  into  two  sections,  one 
representing  a  telegraph  office  at  Bed 
Eye,  Mont.,  and  the  other  a  veranda  of 
a  Mason  City  home.  The  story  the 
booth  is  intended  to  tell  is  that  of  the 
son  of  the  family  in  far  Montana 
who,  not  having  time  to  write  to  his 
dear  old  mother,  decides  to  send  her 
flowers.  He  wires  Kemble  &  Goodman 
to  send  the  desired  love  token  to  his 
mother.  The  flowers  were  shown  to 
have  arrived  in  a  perfect  condition.  Of 
course,  this  does  not  tell  quite  the  whole 
story,  as  it  should  bring  in  the  florist  at 
the  sending  point.

RETAILERS'  CREDIT. 

It  is  a  fact  that  a  goodly  number  of 
retail  florists  are  absolutely  unreliable 
and  never  intend  to  pay  a  bill  they  con- 
tract. 

Why  cannot  all  the  good,  reliable  re- 
tail florists  help  weed  out  this  detri- 
mental element  in  our  profession? 

Do  not  sav,  "It  can't  be  done,"  but 
help  to  knock  the  "t"  out  of  the  can't. 
There  is  one  way  it  can  be  accomplished 
and  bring  results  quickly,  and  that  one 
way  is  nothing  more  than  sincere  and 
earnest  cooperation  with   the  secretary 


of    the    Florists'    Telegraiah

Hundreds  of  "jiast-due  ,, 
have  come  through  the  F.  T.  D.  clearing 
house,  sent  in  by  members,  and  right 
today  we  could  get  up  a  list  of  retail- 
ers around  the  country  who  are  well 
known  and  prominent  florists,  but  who 
never  pay  their  bills  in  time,  and  some 
bills  they  do  not  intend  to  pay  at 
all.  Over  the  period  of  the  last  twelve 
months  I  have  come  across  bills  of  a 
few  retailers  almost  daily,  and  these 
bills  were  from  F.  T.  D.  members  from 
every  part  of  the  United  States  and 
Canada.  Some  retailers  I  know  who 
have  owed  bills  to  at  least  fifty  F.  T.  D. 
members,  in  fifty  different  localities, 
and  have  owed  them  for  a  long  time, 
and  only  by  threatening  them  that  all 
our  membership  would  be  notified  and 
warned  not  to  fill  any  more  orders  for 
them,  have  we  been  able  to  get  them 
to  pay  their  bills. 

Our  F.  T.  D.  members  are  advised  not 
to  fill  orders  for  every  retailer  around 
the  country,  unless  such  retailers  have 
established  a  credit  with  them,  or  they 
are  F.  T.  D.  members,  as  this  member- 
ship, through  its  guarantee  fund,  which 
is  now  over  $7,000,  has  established  a 
credit  for  every  member  and  is,  also, 
advising  every  member  to  pay  the  bills 
promptly  to  all  retail  florists  who  are 
not  members  of  the  F.  T.  D.,  in  order  to 
build  up  a  strong  reputation  for  the 
entire  membership. 

The  poor-paying  or  non-paying  retail 
florists  can  only  be  eliminated  by  co- 
operating with  the  secretary  of  the  F. 
T.  D.  Send  itemized  bills  to  the  F.  T.  D. 
clearing  house  of  all  accounts  you  have 
against  other  retailers,  so  they  may  be 
recorded  in  this  office;  the  parties  owing 
will  be  corresponded  with. 

Why  it  is  absolutely  necessary  to  sift 
out  the  men  that  send  out  telegraph 
orders  for  others  to  fill,  without  any  in- 
tention of  ever  paying  for  same: 

A  number  of  good  retailers  have  been 
stung  a  great  deal  of  late  and  are  get- 
ting to  a  point  where  they  do  not  even 
care  to  fill  orders  for  any  one,  good  or

bad,  which  is  bringing  on  some  em- 
barrassing conditions,  as  the  F.  T.  D. 
members  are  constantly  advertising  the 
fact  to  their  patrons  that  they  can  make 
deliveries  anywhere.  For  once  and  all 
the  time,  do  not  put  the  F.  T.  D.  mem- 
bers, or  at  least  a  majority  of  them,  on 
the  same  scale  as  you  would  some  re- 
tailer who  has  owed  you  a  bill  for  a  long 
time,  as  this  is  absolutely  against  tlie 
F.  T.  D.  Association's  by-laws  and  con- 
stitution, and  if  any  F.  T.  D.  members 
ow^^ou  money  long  past  duo,  do  not 
hesitate  to  send  an  itemized  bill  to  the 
F.  T.  D.  secretary,  who  will  at  once  do 
his  best  to  censure  any  such  members. 
Every  F.  T.  D.  member  must  do  his  best 
to  set  an  example,  and  is  compelled  to 
do  so,  in  order  to  hold  his  membership. 

All  these  things  must  be  put  on  more 
of  a  business  basis  and  it  can  be  done 
only  by  cooperation.  Why  do  people  pay 
their  gas,  electric  and  water  bills  and 
taxes  promptly?  Because  they  lose  the 
discount  if  they  do  not.  Why  not 
let  the  florists  who  do  not  promptly  pay 
their  bills  for  transfer  orders  lose  the 
•discount?  This  would  soon  cure  a  good 
many  slow  payers. 

It  is  up  to  the  retail  florists  to  make 
a  better  and  more  efficient  retail  flo- 
rists' trade  and  make  our  profession  be 
looked  upon  by  the  public  from  a  dif- 
ferent angle  than  it  has  been  for  a  good 
many  years. 

Let  the  retail  florists  of  today  be 
flfty  per  cent  merchant  and  fifty  per 
cent  floral  artist,  and  I  am  sure  that  in 
many  cases  there  is  not  fifteen  per  cent 
mercantile  ability  installed  in  some  re- 
tail flower  shops. 

My  six  years'  experience  in  constant 
touch  with  retailers  throughout  the  en- 
tire country,  both  F.  T.  D.  members  and 
non-members,  has  given  me  the  great- 
est and  most  interesting  study  I  have 
ever  had  in  my  life,  and  with  it  a  great 
deal  of  enjoyment,  in  this  work  for  a 


better  and  more  efficient  retail  florists' 
trade.

SUNDAY  FUNERALS  AND  CLOSING. 

The  movement  on  behalf  of  Sunday 
closing  of  flower  stores  has  received  a 
marked  impetus  this  summer,  as  witness 
the  action  in  this  direction  of  florists  of 
New  York,  Buffalo  and  other  cities,  who 
seemingly  have  been  more  or  less  unan- 
imously in  favor  of  the  seventh  day  us 
a  day  of  rest.  The  ever-present  impedi- 
ment of  the  Sunday  close-down,  however, 
remains;    that  is,   Sunday   funerals. 

Of  all  the  days  of  the  week,  Sunday 
is  the  most  favored  as  the  day  of  inter- 
ment. Remains  are  frequently  held 
over  the  usual  3-day  period  for  the  sake 
of  a  Sunday  burial,  the  dead  of  one, 
two,  three,  four  and  even  five  days  thus 
coming  up  for  interment  on  the  Sab- 
bath. Obviously,  many  Sunday  funer- 
als, particularly  if  some  of  tliem  are  of 
good  size,  require  the  attention  of  the 
florist  or  some  of  his  men — Sunday  clos- 
ing in  many  cases  has  become  a  close- 
down in  name  only. 

It  is  with  more  than  ordinary  inter- 
est, therefore,  that  one  notes  the 
method  by  which  the  florists  of  Sedalia, 
Mo.,  discouraged  tlie  people  from  hold- 
ing Sunday  funerals.  Determined  to 
have  their  Sundays  free  from  labor,  the 
Missourians  interested  the  town's  min- 
isterial alliance  in  the  day-off  idea, 
pointing  out  to  the  clergymen  the  futil- 
ity of  trying  to  close  their  doors  Sun- 
days as  long  as  there  were  so  many 
funerals  on  that  day.  The  clergymen  of 
Sedalia,  thinking  to  benefit  other  work- 
ers as  well  as  florists,  were  quick  to  re- 
spond, and  the  following  resolution, 
strongly  opposing  Sunday  funprals,  was 
unanimously  adopted: 

"In  considoration  of  our  rojfKrd  for  the  TiOrd's 
day   as   a   day   of   fst   and   devotion,    and   of   the 


unfairness  and  injustice  of  requiring  from  fif- 
teen to  forty  people  to  work  on  Sunday  at  what 
is    not    a    necessary    work; 

"Kesolved.  That  we  hereby  register  our  dis- 
approval of  Sunday  funerals,  and  our  refusal  to 
hereafter  conduct  a  funeral  on  the  Lord's  day." 

Perhaps  florists  of  other  towns,  under 
similar  circumstances,  would  find  the 
method  of  the  Sedalia  tradesmen  ef- 
fective. 


TATE'S  TIPS. 


Suggestions  for  Fall  Opening. 

August  is  "paint  up  and  clean  up" 
time,  the  time  for  the  retailer  to  do 
his  house-cleaning.  All  the  things  that 
impeded  the  workers  during  the  rush 
season  should  be  done  away  with  now; 
a  summer  solution  should  be  found  for 
each  winter  worry. 

Wlien  it  is  sizzling  weather  there  also 
is  time  for  a  layout  on  paper  of  the 
window  displays  and  advertising  to  be 
employed  during  the  forthcoming  sea- 
son. One  of  the  reasons  for  the  many 
failures  in  advertising  is  that  advertis- 
ers do  not  study  and  plan  their  adver- 
tising sufficiently,  and  after  the  first 
enthusiasm  everything  is  done  in  a  half- 
hearted manner.  Every  extra  half -hour 
devoted  to  advertising  plans  will  bring 
a  remuneration  later  on. 

One  important  midsummer  job  is  to 
put  the  window  in  good  condition,  for 
the  window,  as  everybody  knows,  is  the 
retailer's  prime  salesman.  A  good  thing 
is  to  jot  down  ideas  for  the  window  that 
is  to  serve  as  the  "fall  opening"  of 
business.  Make  it  something  that  will 
cause  the  people  to  take  notice,  for 
there  is  nothing  like  a  good  start  after 
tlie  summer  months  to  remind  the  public 
that  the  finest  flowers  are,  after  all, 
tliose  sold  by  the  florist.  Let  the  first 
gun  be  fired  when  chrysanthemums, 
dahlias  and  cosmos  are  plentiful,  in 
order  that  the  exhibit  may  cost  as  little 
as   possible.      Originality   of   treatment,

The  Florists^  Review 


August  2,  1917. 


of  course,  ranks  first,  and  the  novel- 
ties in  accessories  should  not  be  over- 
looked at  this  time. 

The  Cooperative  "Stunt." 

Perhaps  a  table  decoration  of  un- 
usual style  would  prove  a  card,  but  in 
arranging  this  feature  one  should  not 
forget  that  women  are  critical.  If  such 
a  display  should  turn  out  to  be  too  ex- 
pensive, one  may  try  cooperative  adver- 
tising; that  is,  by  using  the  equipment 
of  a  good  caterer  and  compensating  him 
by  a  card  in  the  window.  I  have  seen 
this  cooperative  idea  worked  out  in 
many  cases,  the  other  party  usually  be- 
ing glad  to  supply  his  material  for  a 
good  window  showing. 

Another  idea  is  to  have  a  tile  or  man- 
tel firm  put  in  a  temporary  mantel.  Use 
care  in  selecting  it;  have  one  with  a 
fireplace,  for  here  is  where  you  can  use 
to  advantage  a  good  bunch  of  autumn 
foliage.  The  same  terms  might  be  made 
with  the  mantel  people  as  with  the 
caterer,  but  I  think  after  you  have  once 
tried  this  you  will  want  it  to  be  perma- 
nent. 

Semember  the  Weddings. 

Then  there  is  the  bride's  corner  for 
a  home  wedding,  and  as  it  is  the  begin- 
ning of  the  social  season,  when  many 
a  young  miss  may  be  contemplating 
matrimony,  it  behooves  the  window 
trimmer  to  do^  his  best.  If  the  work  is 
good  it  is  likely  tp  be  remembered  when 
the  final  arrangements  are  made.  The 
white  mats  should  be  used,  as  well  as 
the  kneeling  stool,  white  pedestals,  rop- 
ing— any  good  accessory  that  you  may 
have.  Let  the  opening  be  an  exhibit 
of  what  you  are  prepared  to  offer  the 
public  during  the  coming  season.  Any 
extra  expense  in  this  is  to  be  charged 
to  advertising,  so  the  next  important 
thing  is  to  have  as  many  of  the  people 
visit  your  establishment  as  possible  dur- 
ing the  opening  week.  One  way  to  do 
this  is  to  insert  a  card  in  the  daily 
papers.  Another  is  to  have  a  neat  in- 
vitation engraved  or  printed,  but  re- 
member that  it  frequently  is  false  econ- 
omy to  use  cheap  stationery.  The  re- 
tailer should  not  forget  that  every  pa- 
per in  the  city  has  a  lady  reporter.  See 
that  each  receives  an  invitation  to  the 
affair,  in  order  tliat  you  may  have  a 
news  notice  in  the  paper.  Tate. 


CLEVER  WORK  FOR  DOG  DAYS. 

While  some  retailors  are  spending 
their  time  at  the  seaside  or  tlie  lake 
resorts,  presumably  to  avoid  the  sight 
of  their  idle  casli  registers,  others  are 
making  use  of  tlie  dull  season  by  going 
after  Itusiness  with  clever  bait.  J.  W. 
Rodgers,  of  Dayton,  O.,  is  one  of  those 
who  believe  that  tlio  slack  time  is  the 
right  time  for  coaxing  business  in 
through  tlie  door.  And  Mr.  Rodgers  is 
unique  in  liis  publicity  methods.  He 
believes  in  the  power  of  suggestion,  and 
last  week  he  mailed  out  4,000  little  sug- 
gestions to  Dayton  men,  like  this: 

TO    YOU,    MR.    MAN. 

Tliore  aro  occasions  that  should  novcr  ho  for- 
gotten, and  thp  two  sut-'KOstcd  on  the  enclosed 
'•arU,  while  not  the  most  important,  are,  to  a 
woman,  whether  in  the  glowinK  fire  of  .voiith 
or  the  darkening  embers  of  later  life,  periods 
that  even  a  word  of  remembrance  will  bring 
like  the  rainbow,  memor.v  of  the  sunsliine  past 
and   promise  of   brightness   to   come. 

In  the  bns.v  routine  of  a  man's  life  occasions 
of  this  kind  are  frequently  forgotten. 

Ma.v  we  not  remind  .von  of  them — a  day  pre- 
vious"? We  will  not  ask  you  to  purcliase.  even 
though  we  believe  flowers  to  be  tlie  best  medium 
of  conveying  your  good  wishes. 

J.  W.   Rodgers. 


Accompanying  the  letter  was  a  re- 
turn card  that  read  like  this: 

J.  W.  Rodgers,  Florist: 

You  may  remind  me  of  the  following  dates, 
one  day  previous  to  them,  understanding  that 
I  am  not  in  any  way  obligated  to  you. 

Name    I'hone    

Address     •  • 

Date  of  wife's   birthday 

Wedding    anniversary 

Otiier    occasions    

The  possibilities  of  Mr.  Rodgers' 
scheme,  with  the  return  cards  filed  so 
that  they  are  taken  care  of  at  the  proper 
time,  are  unlimited.  An  index  of  500 
such  cards,  with  two  dates  specified, 
would  represent  1,000  possible  sales. 
Every  time  Mr.  Rodgers  has  a  wedding 
decoration  he  makes  out  a  card,  in  order 
that  he  may  remind  Mr.  Newlywed  of 
the  wedding  anniversary  the  following 
year,  and  the  many  years  to  come.  In- 
cidentally, Mr.  Rodgers  has  not  copy- 
righted his  "stunt."

But  we  have  reached  the  bottom  and 
still  are  minus  the  holes." 


A  WHOLLY  HOLY  HOLLER, 

A  southern  florist  some  time  ago  gave 
a  toothpick  concern  an  order.  When 
the  toothpicks  were  received,  they  were 
without  a  feature  that  evidently  ap- 
pealed to  the  purchaser,  as  he  sent  the 
manufacturer  the  following  letter: 

"Enclosed  find  check  to  balance  our 
account.  When  you  were  here  last,  you 
sold  us  50,000  toothpicks  with  holes  in 
them,  quoting  as  follows:  'The  hole  is 
the  whole.'  You  failed  to  ship  the 
holes,  or  they  were  lost  or  stolen  in 
transit,  as  we  could  not  find  the  holes. 

"The  next  shipment  you  make  us  we 
want  you  to  add  the  50,000  holes  that 
were  short  this  time.     We  would  have 


C.  O.  D.  BOOKKEEPING. 

We  formerly  had  trouble  keeping  our 
c.  0.  d.  accounts  straight.  The  system 
we  have  been  using  for  several  years  is 
simple  and  practically  eliminates 
trouble. 

We  open  in  our  individual  ledger  one 
account  against  Mr.  C,  O.  D.  When 
the  c.  0.  d.  order  goes  to  Mr.  Jones,  800 
Sixteenth  street,  we  charge  Mr,  C.  O.  D. 
with  Jones'  flowers,  $2.  When  the 
c.  o.  d.  comes  back,  Mr,  C.  O.  D.  is 
credited  with  Jones'  $2.  In  this  way 
at  the  end  of  the  month  we  can  check 
up  and  tell  just  when  every  c.  o.  d.  ac- 
count came  in.  I  recommend  a  trial  of 
this  system  to  anyone  who  is  not  satis- 
fied with  his  system  of  keeping  c.  o.  d. 
accounts.  Z.  D.  Blackistone, 


A  BASKET  FUNERAL  PIECE, 

Baskets  as  funeral  pieces  are  unusual, 
but  P,  V.  Matraia,  of  the  Art  Floral 
Co.,  San  Francisco,  Cal,  is  having  great 
success  with  them.  One  of  three  he 
recently  made  in  a  single  day  is  shown 
in  the  illustration  on  page  15.  The 
basket  is  on  a  column  base.  Mr,  Ma- 
traia points  out  that  pieces  of  this  char- 
acter give  opportunities  to  dispose  of 
baskets,  which  may  be  filled  with  dif- 
ferent kinds  of  stock.  One  he  made  was 
so  acceptable  that  he  received  a  similar 
order  for  the  same  funeral.

Callas. 


The  callas  should  now  be  well  ripened 
off  and  can  be  shaken  out  and  repotted. 
Cut  away  any  decayed  parts  on  the 
tubers.  Any  that  are  badly  affected 
would  better  be  thrown  away.  Small 
tubers,  if  wanted,  can  be  planted  in 
flats  six  inches  deep  or  placed  several 
together  in  pots.  Use  a  rich  soil  for 
callas.  Give  them  good  drainage  and, 
after  potting,  stand  them  outdoors  and 
leave  them  there  until  September. 

As  between  bench  and  pot  culture,  the 
latter  has  manifold  advantages.  The 
roots  are  under  better  control,  the  pots 
can  be  moved  about  at  any  time  and  the 
plants  are  much  more  floriferous  than 
when  given  unlimited  root-run.  A  nar- 
row l)ench  containing  a  single  row  along 
the  side  of  a  carnation  house  is  ideal 
for  callas  and  I  find  that  three  tubers 
in   an  8-inch  pot  give  splendid  results.

Antirrhiniuns. 

For  a  fall  and  winter  crop  the  first 
half  of  August  is  a  good  time  to  plant 
out  snapdragons.  I  prefer  to  use  only 
four  and  one-half  to  five  inches  of  soil 
and  to  run  the  rows  twelve  inches  apart, 
allowing  nine  inches  between  the  plants. 
The  plants  should  be  allowed  to  run  up 


their  flower  spikes  until  the  blooms 
start  to  open  and  then  should  be 
pinched  back  fairly  hard.  This  will 
cause  them  to  break  away  strongly 
from  the  base.  In  planting  out,  if  the 
balls  are  at  all  matted,  loosen  them  a 
little  and  be  sure  that  the  balls  are 
moist. 

Until  the  plants  take  hold  of  the  soil 
it  is  better  to  water  a  little  around  each 
plant  rather  than  to  soak  the  entire  bed 
or  bencli.  Do  not  keep  a  moist  atmos- 
phere and,  while  an  overhead  spraying 
on  extremely  hot  days  is  refreshing,  do 
not  overdo  this,  as  it  is  easy  to  develop 
fungoid  aft'ections,  to  wliich  snap- 
dragons  are   no   longer   immune. 

The  Aphis  Plague. 

From  many  sections  come  advices 
tliat  large  batches  of  vegetable,  flower 
and  orchard  plants  have  been  terribly 
infested  with  green  and  black  aphis. 
Even  fields  of  potatoes  and  tomatoes, 
usually  immune,  are  almost  ruined, 
while  miscellaneous  root  crops,  peas  and 
beans,  asters,  various  herbaceous  per- 
ennials and  even  dahlias  are  alive  with 
apliis.  Where  whole  fields  are  attacked 
the  spraying  is  a  big  proposition,  but 
the  average  florist  can  easily  care  for 
his  sweet  peas,  carnations,  asters  and 
other  infested  crops  by  spraying  the 
plants  with  a  good  nicotine  extract,  to 
which   some  soap  is   added  to  make  it

more  adhesive.  Use  a  fine,  misty  nozzle. 
Direct  the  spray  with  a  good  force  and 
remember  that  you  must  wet  each  indi- 
vidual with  the  spray  to  kill  it. 

Calceolarias. 

Sow  the  seeds  of  herbaceous  calceo- 
larias about  August  1,  in  a  coldframe  or 
well  shaded  greenhouse.  Protect  the  pan 
with  glass  and  paper.  Let  the  soil  bo 
finely  screened,  water  and  then  sow  the 
seeds;  later  scatter  a  little  fine  sand 
over  it.  Another  plan,  and  a  good  one, 
is  to  screen  a  little  fine,  dry  sphagnum 
moss  over  the  surface  of  the  pan,  scatter 
the  seeds  on  this  and  then  water.  It 
is  too  soon  yet  to  take  cuttings  of  the 
rugosa  calceolarias. 


SINGLE  YELLOW  DAISIES. 

I  should  like  to  know  the  name  of  the 
single  yellow  daisies  that  are  used  as 
cut  flowers  in  the  winter  and  spring  for 
basket  and  corsage  work.  When  should 
they  be  planted  in  the  greenhouse? 
Shall  I  buy  rooted  cuttings  or  2i/^-inch 
stock?  Do  they  need  solid  beds  or  raised 
benches?  How  much  space  do  they  re- 
quire? Please  give  me  any  cultural 
directions  that  are  necessary. 

G.  S.  F.— Pa. 


All  yellow  marguerites  are  forms  of 
Chrysanthemum  frutescens.  Plant  now 
from  2%-inch  pots  in  either  solid  beds 
or  raised  benches.  "While  the  majority 
of  growers  prefer  to  limit  the  root-run 
of  their  plants,  and  carry  over  old  plants 
in  many  cases  from  year  to  year,  yet  the 
largest  and  most  succeSful  grower  of 
yellow  marguerites  for  the  Boston  mar- 
ket, which  receives  more  good  yellow 
marguerites  than  any  other  city  in  the 
United  States,  plants  young  stock  each 
season  and  in  ground  beds.  The  way  his 
plants  flower  is  a  revelation. 

A  minimum  temperature  of  50  degret-s 
suits  marguerites  and  a  soil  such  as  suits 
roses,  mums  or  carnations  will  answer 
well  for  them.  Place  the  plants  eight- 
een inches  apart  each  way.  Supports 
must  be  given  from  time  to  time;  a  sys- 
tem of  cross  strings  similar  to  those  used 
for  carnations,  only  spaced  farther  apart, 
will  be  found  suitable.  If  leaf  miners 
attack  the  foliage,  use  a  fairly  strong 
nicotine  spray.  A  similar  spray  or 
fumigation  will  care  for  aphis.  When 
well  established,  marguerites  need  a  lib- 
eral water  supply.  In  addition,  a  mukli 
of  cow  manure  and  soakings  of  liquid 
manure  will  prove  beneficial.  There  are 
many  typos  of  yellow  marguerites,  good, 
bad  and  indifferent.  You  should  mark 
and  propagate  from  your  best  varieties 
only.  C.  W. 

A  STEADY  CUT  OF  LILIES. 

I  expect  to  have  a  steady  call  for  Lil- 
ium  gigantoum  l)U(is.  I  shall  need  a 
supply  of  al)out  fifty  to  sixty  opening 
buds  per  week  the  year  around  for  cut 
flower  j)urposes.  How  often  should  I 
])lant  tliese  and  would  it  be  better  to 
grow  thom  on  a  bencli  rather  than  in 
pots?  Some  advice  as  to  soil  and  treat- 
ment will  be  appreciated.

Cold  storage  lily  bulbs  will  not  be 
necessary  the  whole  year.  From  De- 
cember until  May,  by  using  fresh  bulbs 
of  Formosa,  Harrisii  and  giganteum, 
you  can  obtain  a  regular  succession  of 
lily  flowers.    From  May  until  December

cold  storage  stock  will  be  necessary. 
You  would  better  buy  these  so  that  they 
will  come  to  you  in  small  cases  of  100 
to  150  bulbs.  Place  them  in  5-inch  or 
SMi-inch  pots  as  soon  as  received.  Give 
them  a  warm  house  until  tlie  flowers 
start  to  open;  then  run  them  cooler.  In 
tlie  warm  summer  months  any  house  is 
warm  enough  to  start  thom.  Cold  stor- 
age bull)s  start  to  grow  (juickly.  A  soil 
which  will  suit  any  soft-wooded  plants 
will   answer   well. 

If  you  start  100  to  150  at  a  time  yo\i 
will  not  need  the  whole  lot  to  come  in 
together;  some  you  can  grow  cooler 
and  others  you  can  easily  retard  in  a 
cold  collar.  Cold  storage  bulbs  will 
not  give  over  two  to  four  flowers  per 
bulb  on  the  average  and  lack  the  vigor 
of  newly  imported  stock.  Stand  the 
plants  wlien  potted  below  a  bench  and 
leave  them  there  until  growth  is  well 
started;  then  place  them  on  a  bench. 
Give  them  a  rather  dark  house,  in  order 
to  draw  up  the  stalks.  In  strong  light 
they  come  quite  dwarf.  C.  W. 


damage  is  done  to  the  blooms  by  a  num- 
ber of  different  insects,  mostly  or  all  of 
the  eating  kind.  At  present  the  most 
troul)Iesomo  insects  are  the  little  green 
jumi)or  and  the  brown,  fly-like  bug  with 
grayish  white  spots  on  the  wings. 
Tliese  eat  the  centers  out  of  tiio  fonder

PESTS  ON  DAHLIAS. 

Before  long  we  shall  have  the  dahlia 
season  with  us,  and  the  writer  woubl 
like  to  be  prepared  more  thoroughly 
than  heretofore  to  moot  the  enemies  of 
this    beautiful    flower.       The     greatest 


Tlio  jumping  ])ost  referred  to  is  prob- 
al)ly  tlio  tarnished  i)lant  bug,  also  called 
chinch  bug,  which  is  a  ditticult  post  to 
fight,  as  it  does  not  stay  still  as  the 
apiiides  do.  (Quassia  ciiiiKS  soaked  in 
water,  with  some  soap  added  to  make 
it  stick,  have  proved  a  good  remedy;  so, 
also,  have  nicotine  extracts  to  which 
soap  has  been  added.  The  bug  which 
eats  the  shoots  will  need  a  ])oison. 
Arsenate  of  lead  whitens  tiio  foliage, 
but  will  not  burn  it.  Use  this  at  the 
rate  of  four  pounds  to  fifty  gallons  of 
water.  I  would  suggest  using  a  com- 
bined sjiray  of  arsenate  of  lead,  nico- 
tine and  soap.  This  should  account  for 
all  ])osts  reached,  but  several  applica- 
tions will  ])robably  be  necessary.  Do 
not  leave  any  rubbisli  heaps  over  winter 
near  your  dahlias.  They  form  good 
l)ree(ling  places  for  the  chincli  l)ugs.

A  BASKET  FUNERAL  PIECE. 

TJaskets  as  funeral  jdeces  are  unusual, 
but  I'.  V.  .Matraia,  of  the  Art  Floral 
Co.,  San  I'raiicisco,  (':il,  is  having  great 
success  with  them.  One  of  three  he 
recently  made  in  a  single  day  is  shown 
in  the  illustration  dii  page  b").  The 
basket  is  on  a  cdlumn  base.  Mr.  Ma- 
traia points  out  that  jiieces  of  this  char 
acter  gisc  opportunities  to  disjiose  of 
baskets,  which  may  be  tilled  with  dif- 
ferent kinds  of  sto(d\.  One  he  made  was 
so  acceptable  that  he  recei\C(l  a  similar 
order  for  the  same  funeral.

SOCIETY  OF  AMERICAN  FLORISTS. 


The  New  York  Convention. 

The  trade  in  New  York  is  greatly 
elated  over  convention  attendance  pros- 
pects. Reports  coming  in  from  state 
vice-presidents  point  to  a  banner  dele- 
gation from  many  sections,  and  there 
appears  to  be  little  room  for  doubt  that 
the  convention  will  be  the  biggest  and, 
from  a  business  point  of  view,  the  best 
on  record. 

The  -announced  curtailment  of  the 
customary  entertainment  for  visitors 
does  not  seem  to  be  at  all  detrimental 
to  the  success  of  the  gathering;  judg- 
ing from  many  communications  re- 
ceived, 'the  absence  of  anything  func- 
tional in  character  is  a  most  welconie 
feature  of  the  program.  StiH^'^s  a  prec- 
edent tl«e  desired  policy  of  ;\ii'o  ■  general 
entertainment  is  hard  ty?  estafelisH 'and 
many  little  surprisea.^waili'tli^'- Visitors.

new  ordei:  of  things,  ^   *        "* 

Thd  success  of  tlie  trade  exhibition 
is  practically  assured.  The  display  will 
be  staged  On  the  main  floior  of  the  Grand 
Cent^  Belace,  the  home  6f  New  York's 
big  aitAual  flower  show,  and  the  meet- 
ing quarters  will  be  acljacent.  The  con- 
vention management  was  most  fortunate 
in  being  able  to  house  the  convention 
in  this- fine  building.  Incoming  exhibits 
will  be  conveniently  handled;  in  fact, 
will  be  received  practically  on  the  flo^r 
where  they  are  to  be  staged.  There  is 
an  excellent  cafe  and  restaurant  in  the 
building,  .and  other  conveniences,  such 
as  telegraph,  telephones  and  post-office 
chutes.  Adjoining  the  secretary's  of- 
fice will  be  found  the  bureau  of  infor- 
mation, where  attendants  will  be  con- 
stantly at  the  service  of  visitors. 

Visitors  upon  arrival  should  report 
immediately  at  the  secretary's  office, 
which  will  be  found  at  the  left  of  the 
main  entrance  to  the  building. 

Fifth  National  Flower  Show. 

Arrangements  for  the  Fifth  National 
Flower  Show,  to  be  held  in  St.  Louis, 
April  6  to  15  next,  are  progressing 
nicely.  The  second  preliminary  sched- 
ule of  prizes  has  been  sent  out  and 
floor  plans  of  Moolah  Temple  and  the 
adjoining  building,  where  the  show  is 
to  be  held,  are  in  course  of  preparation. 

As  the  S.  A.  F.  convention  is  to  be 
held  in  conjunction  with  the  show, 
more  than  ordinary  interest  attaches  to 
the  trade  section  of  the  show,  which 
naturally  will  absorb  the  usual  conven-

this  presents  to  exhibitors  is  being  rec- 
ognized and  reservations  of  space  for 
extensive  displays  are  already  being 
made.  Among  the  concerns  which  have

As  some  of  these  hotels  will  be  busy 
at  the  time  of  the  convention,  it  is  ur- 
gently recommended  that  reservations 
be  made  in  advance.  Write  any  one  of 
the  hotels  in  the  list,  stating  explicitly 
what  you  desire  in  the  way  of  accommo- 
dations, and  ask  that  reservations  be 
made.  You  will  receive  prompt  and 
courteous  reply. 

All  of  the  hotels  listed  are  convenient 
to  the  Grand  Central  Palace,  the  exhi- 
bition building,  in  which  all  of  the  ses- 
sions of  the  convention  will  be  held  and 
where  registration  headquarters  will  be 
located. 
W.  A.  Sperling,  Sec'y  Hotel  Committee. 


PANSIES  NOT   SEEDING. 

My  pansies  are  covered  with  blooms, 
but  they  do  not  bear  seeds.  Do  you 
think  bees  would  help  matters  any,  or 
can  you  suggest  some  other  remedy? 

C.  W.  H.— Mo. 


A  deficiency  of  moisturie  at  the  roots 
and  your  warm  climate  will  both  be 
against  your  pansies  setting  seeds. 
Even  with  bees  present,  matters  would 
not  be  helped  much.  Pansies  and  all 
members  of  the  viola  family  are  cool 
and  moisture-loving  subjects  and  reach 
their  greatest  perfection  under  such 
conditions.  The  specialists  in  Great 
Britain,  France,  Germany  and  America 
who  have  extra  good  strains  do  much 
hand  pollination  and  take  great  pains 
with  their  stocks.  I  would  not  advise 
you  to  save  seed.  The  resultant  plants 
would  be  of  inferior  quality.  Buy  seeds 
of  a  good  strain  produced  under  cooler 
conditions  and  you  will  be  monev  in 
pocket.  C.  W.

The  adoption   of  a  new   constitution 


Rotterdam,  Holland. — While  no  as- 
surance can  be  given  as  to  the  changes 
that  may  occur,  there  now  seems  to  be 
no  reason  for  thinking  the  bulb  exports 
will  not  go  to  the  United  States  us  usu- 
al this  season.  The  Holland-America 
line  has  indicated  its  expectation  of 
moving  this  class  of  freight  with  its 
usual  promptness,  inquiry  having  been 
made  in  the  interest  of  the  Dutch  Bulb 
Exporters'  Association.  Officers  of  the 
line  have  stated  their  purpose  to  be  to 
afford  every  possible  assistance  for  the 
Holland  bulb  and  nursery  industry  in 
reaching  the  only  market  now  available. 

Haarlem,  Holland. — The  temperature 
since  May  has  been  ideal  for  plant 
growth,  but  tlie  rainfall  lias  been  scant. 
The  month  of  May  this  year  was  one  of 
the  warmest  on  record  in  the  Nether- 
lands. The  temperature  averaged  4  de- 
grees above  normal,  while  the  rainfall 
was  fifty  per  cent  below  normal.  June 
was  even  warmer,  drier  and  sunnier 
than  May.  In  Friesland,  many  thou- 
sands of  cabbage  plants  tliat  had  been 
transferred  from  hothouses  shriveled 
and  died  under  the  hot  sun,  but  irrthe 
bulb  district  the  conditions  were  favor- 
able for  the  ripening,  cleaning  and  cur- 
ing of  the  crop. 


Sas  van  Gent,  Holland. — Although  it 
is  only  twenty-five  miles  from  this 
Holland  border  city  to  Ghent,  the  center 
of  the  former  Belgian  nursery  industry, 
it  is  impossible  to  keep  in  touch.  The 
mails  cannot  be  depended  on  for  any 
purpose,  least  of  all  to  convey  informa- 
tion. Whenever  important  military  af- 
fairs are  afoot  in  Belgium  the  frontier 
is  closed  and  few  Hollanders  have  cared 
to  make  the  effort  necessary  to  visit  the 
Ghent  and  Bruges  district.  The  grow- 
ers of  azaleas,  palms  and  bay  trees  have 
had  a  hard  time.  They  are  only  a  few 
miles  back  of  the  battle  line  where  it 
runs  up  to  the  sea,  and  nearly  three 
years  of  military  occuj)ation  has  result- 
ed in  the  destruction  of  a  large  part  of 
the  peace-time  industries.  Many  of  the 
men  are  gone,  one  way  and  another,  and 
fuel  has  been  difficult  to  obtain,  but  a 
considerable  number  of  nurseries  have 
managed  to  carry  on.  If  the  German, 
British  and  American  governments 
agree  on  permission  to  export  in  Hol- 
land this  fall  there  will  be  as  much 
stock  as  is  needed  to  fill  orders,  as 
nearly  all  American  and  Holland  deal- 
ers seem  to  have  given  up  the  attempt 
to  do  business  with  the  Belgians  under 
[iresent  conditions.

ANNUALS    FOR    WINTER    BLOOM. 

Please  give  me  a  list  of  annuals  which 
are  adapted  for  indoor  culture  and 
which  it  is  not  yet  too  late  to  grow 
from  seeds  or  cuttings.  I  want  some 
that  will  do  fairly  well  in  a  carnation 
temperature  and  which  will  flower  early 
in  winter,  such  as  calendulas,  mignon- 
ette  and   pansics.  O.   W. — Wis. 

The  following  annuals  are  satisfac- 
tory for  winter  and  early  spring  flower- 
ing: Mignonette,  which  can  be  sown 
now  and  can  be  depended  upon  to  bloom 
all  winter;  calendulas,  which  should  be 
sown  in  August  for  an  early  crop; 
stocks,  including  such  varieties  as 
Beauty  of  Nice,  Pink  Column  and  White 
Column,  which  should  be  sown  at  once; 
pansies,  which  can  be  sown  at  once — 
the  Giant  Trimardeau  strain  is  a  su- 
perior one;  Centaurea  Cyanus,  or  bache- 
lor's button,  to  be  sown  now;  Dimorpho- 


A  Pleasant  Place  to  Live  and  a  Pleasant  Place  to  Do  Btjsiness, 


theca  aurantiaca,  a  pretty  and  useful 
plant,  which  flowers  earlier  than  any 
other, annual  from  seed;  sweet  peas, 
where  there  is  sufficient  head  room — 
among  the  most  profitable  of  all  annuals, 
enjoying  a  carnation  temperature  while 
flowering;  antirrhinums,  which  may  be 
liad  from  seed  or  cuttings.  Some  special 
forcing  varieties  of  antirrhinums  are 
offered  and  these  are  prolific  bloomers. 
While  all  the  foregoing  are  winter 
bloomers,  they  will  not  be  at  their  best 
in  early  winter,  but  will  improve  as  the 
days  lengthen  and  the  sun's  rays  grow 
somewhat  stronger.  C.  W. 


likewise?"  Mr.  Epple  could  use  no 
other  means  that  would  better  adver- 
tise his  business.  It  is  safe  to  hazard 
that  his  yard  has  caused  many  a  pass- 
er-by to  halt  and  leave  good  cash  in 
return  for  good  plants  and  flowers. 


THEY   STOP,    LOOK  ANIKJBUY. 

L.  Epple,  a  grower  at  North  Pelham, 
N.  Y.,  is  one  of  the  many  florists  who 
believe  in  what  The  Review  recently 
termed  "taking  our  own  medicine." 
The  accompanying  illustration  shows 
his  range  of  greenhouses  and  bunga- 
low home  adjoining.  But  what  is  of 
most  importance  in  the  picture  is  the 
manner  in  which  he  practices  what  he 
preaches — flowers  and  shrubs  for  home 
decoration,  indoors  and  out. 

If  you  were  not  a  florist,  but  still 
had  the  same  love  for  flowers,  would 
not  a  view  of  the  Epple  home  and 
grounds  make  you  want  to  "go  and  do 


OUTDOOR  LILIES  IN  U.  S. 

Charles  L.  Bauni,  of  Baum's  House 
of  Flowers,  Knoxville,  Tenn.,  believes 
that  lilies  can  be  grown  outdoors  in 
the  United  States  as  well  as  in  Japan, 
and  sends  the  photograph  from  which 
the  accompanying  illustration  was  made 
to  prove  liis  assertion.  These  giganteum 
lilies  were  growai  from  cold  storage 
bulbs  planted  out  under  trees.  Two 
cases  were  planted  each  week  for  sev- 
eral weeks.  They  now  are  throwing 
from  three  to  five  buds  each,  and  next 
year  are  expected  to  give  from  two  to 
three  buds  each  after  being  left  out 
all  winter.  Should  they  uot  be  cut, 
but  disbudded  next  year,  Mr.  Baum 
believes,  tliey  would  do  better  the  third 
year  than  the  first. 


Springfield,  111. — Lewis  H.  Wise,  suc- 
cessor to  John  M.  Gaupp,  is  getting  the 
North  Side  Greenhouses  in  first-class 
shape  for  autumn.  He  anticipates  a 
good  season's  business.

against  the  grain  of  the  New  Yorkers 
to  have  to  give  tlie  lirat  push  to.  the 
new  order  of  things.

in  being  able  to  house  the  convention 
in  thisfine  building.  Incoming  exhibits 
will  be  conveniently  handled;  in  fact, 
will  be  received  ])ractically  on  the  floor 
where  they  are  to  be  staged.  There  is 
an  excellent  cafe  and  restaurant  in  the 
building,  and  ot1i(M-  conveniences,  such 
as  telegraph,  telejihones  and  post-office

As  some  of  these  hotels  will  be  busy 
at  the  time  of  the  convention,  it  is  ur 
gently  recommended  that  reservations 
be  niaile  in  advance.  AVrite  any  one  of 
the  hotels  in  the  list,  stating  explicit  U 
what  you  desire  in  the  way  of  acconniKj. 
dations,  and  ask  that  reservations  be 
made.  You  will  receive  ]»rom])t  am! 
courteous  rejdy. 

All  of  the  hotels  listed  arc  convenient 
to  the  Grand  Central  i'alace,  tlie  e.xhi 
bition  buibling,  in  which  all  of  the  ses- 
sions of  the  convention  will  be  held  and 
where  registration  headquarters  will  be 
located.

PANSIES  NOT    SEEDING. 

My  jiansies  are  covered  with  blooms, 
but  tliey  do  not  bear  seeds.  Do  yon 
think  bees  would  help  nuitters  any,  or 
can  vou  suggest  some  other  remedv? 

c.  w.  II.— ivio. 


A  deficiency  of  moisture  at  the  roots 
and  your  warm  climate  will  both  be 
against  your  jiansies  setting  seeds. 
F\'en  with  bees  prest'iit,  matters  would 
not  be  hel]ied  much.  Pansies  and  all 
members  of  the  \  icda  family  are  cool 
and  moisture-loving  subjects  and  reach 
their  greatest  perfection  under  such 
i-onditions.  Tin;  specialists  in  Great 
iiritain,  Trance,  tiermany  and  America 
who  have  extra  good  strains  do  much 
hand  jiollination  and  take  great  pains 
with  their  stocks.  I  would  not  advise 
you  to  save  seed.  The  resultant  plants 
would  be  of  inferior  quality.  Buy  seeds 
of  a  good  strain  jirodiiced  under  cooler 
conditions  and  you  will  be  moiiev  in 
pocket.  '  C.  W.

NIEUW  AMSTERDAM  CLAIMS  i

A  COMPROMISE  IN  PROSPECT. 


All  Branches  of  Trade  Involved. 

Of  all  the  losses  that  have  occurred 
to  importers  since  the  war  began,  and 
they  are  well  known  to  have  been  many, 
nothing  has  hit  the  trade  like  the  claims 
growing  out  of  the  Nieuw  Amsterdam, 
but  there  seems  to  be  a  probability,  or 
at  least  a  possibility,  that  they  will  be 
settled  out  of  court,  by  compromise. 

All  branches  of  the  trade  are  in- 
volved, for  the  Nieuw  Amsterdam  car- 
ried what  probably  was  the  largest 
cargo  of  horticultural  goods  ever  stored 
in  the  hold  of  a  steamer.  Whether  or 
not  the  Holland  shippers  had  a  tip  that 
this  would  be  their  one  chance  to  get 
their  stock  away  to  America,  they  acted 
with  promptness  and  unanimity;  they 
got  an  enormous  quantity  of  stock  ready 
for  this  sailing,  consigned  to  florists, 
seedsmen  and  nurserymen  in  all  parts 
of  America. 

To  Freshen  Memory. 

Those  of  the  hundreds  directly  con- 
cerned will  not  require  to  have  their 
memories  refreshed  and  readers  of  The 
Eeview  probably  will  recall  the  circum- 
stances, but  it  may  be  noted  that  the 
Nieuw  Amsterdam,  with  many  millions 
of  gladiolus  bulbs,  hundreds  of  cases  of 
boxwoods,  scores  of  cases  of  dormant 
roses  and  hundreds  of  cases  of  general 
nursery  stock  on  board,  sailed  for  New 
York  late  in  January  and  in  the  course 
of  a  few  days  returned  to  Rotterdam. 
Report  had  it  that  the  steamer  was  re- 
called by  wireless,  but  this  now  is  de- 
nied— it  is  said  tlie  master  returned  be- 
cause the  perils  of  navigation  endan- 
gered his  vessel. 

At  any  rate,  after  a  while  the  cargo 
of  the  Nieuw  Amsterdam  was  transfer- 
red, about  February  7,  to  two  smaller 
boats,  the  Maartensdyk  and  Wester- 
dyk.  Those  lay  at  Rotterdam  week 
after  week,  re})eatedly  announced  to 
sail  "in  a  few  days,"  until  April,  when 
the  Ilolland-xVnierica  line  accepted  the 
trade's  representation  that  the  stock 
would  not  now  be  worth  the  United 
States  tariff  duties,  unloaded  the 
steamers  and  returned  the  stock  to  the 
shippers  if  they  would  take  it,  as  most 
of  them  did. 

Slow  Getting   Through. 

It  took  some  little  time  for  tlie  mean- 
ing of  tliis  to  penetrate  the  mind  of  the 
average  consignee,  Init  one  by  one  the 
men  to  whom  this  shipload  of  stock  had 
been  sold  awakened  to  the  fact  that 
they  might  have  to  pay  for  something 
they  never  got,  that,  indeed,  they  might 
in  addition  liave  to  pay  the  freight  on 
it.  Might  even  have  to  pay  for  the 
cases  the  goods  were  packed  in! 

No  specially  active  imagination  is 
needed  to  conceive  the  extent  of  the 
shock!  At  first  sight,  it  seemed  impos- 
sible; those  wlio  read  the  notes  in  The 
Review  were  incredulous,  but  gradu- 
ally it  came  to  Ije  recognized  that  the 
trade  was  confronted  with  a  quite  un- 
usual but  not  unprecedented   situation. 

The  Shippers'  Responsibility. 

A  couple  of   seasons  ago  one  of   the 


trade  organizations  adopted  resolutions 
pledging  its  members  to  place  orders 
only  on  the  basis  of  freight  and  duty 
paid,  but  nearly  all  of  the  Nieuw  Am- 
sterdam's cargo  was  sold  f.  o.  b.  nursery, 
packing  extra.  That  seemed  to  let  the 
shipper  out. 

But  the  stock  was  returned.  What 
bearing  had  that?  The  shippers  claim 
that  in  receiving  stock  back  they  acted 
only  as  the  agent  of  their  customers,  for 
the  purpose  of  stopping  warehouse 
charges,  insurance  fees,  etc.,  and  in  the 
hope  of  salvaging  some  of  the  stock. 
Not  many  consignees  have  been  able  to 
get  an  exact  statement  of  what  was 
saved.  With  the  gladiolus  bulbs  the 
salvage  should  have  been  considerable, 
as  a  shortage  existed  and  the  stock 
should  have  been  in  condition  to  re- 
plant. With  boxwoods,  so-called  2-year- 
old  dormant  roses  and  other  nursery 
stock  it  is  a  different  matter;  the  shipper 
probably  had  no  place  or  need  for  the 
stock  if  it  was  in  condition  to  replant 
and  no  doubt  practically  all  of  it  was 
burned. 

Also,  the  shipper  had  guaranteed  the 
freight  and  in  most  cases  was  required 
to  pay  when  the  stock  was  returned. 
Most  American  consignees  have  re- 
ceived memoranda  of  the  expense  in- 
curred under  this  head. 

-The  Carrier  and  Insurer. 

The  Holland-America  line  gets  its 
money  whether  or  not  the  boat  arrives 
at  its  destination.  It  is  not  res^nsible 
for  cargo  under  any  conceivable  circum- 
stances unless  negligence  can  be  proven. 
In  this  case  the  ship  put  to  sea  and  there 
encountered  dangers  such  as  to  cause 
its  captain,  so  it  is  said,  exercising  the 
discretion  shipping  laws  place  with  the 
master  of  the  vessel,  to  return  to  port. 
The  company  had  done  its  part;  it 
claimed  its  charges  and  denied  all  re- 
sponsibility. 

Most,  if  not  all,  the  bulbs  and  plants 
in  the  Nieuw  Amsterdam  were  fully 
covered  by  marine  and  war  risk  insur- 
ance, including  insurance  against  heat- 
ing to  destination,  and  they  were  re- 
insured at  an  increased  rate  when  the 
shipments  were  transferred  to  other 
steamers,  but  the  insurance  company 
disclaims  liability  for  damage  through 
delay.  Attorneys  to  whom  tlie  policies 
have  been  submitted  for  opinion  say 
that  the  insurance  company  can  not  be 
held  liable  unless  it  is  proven  that  the 
damage  was  caused  by  heating  or  usual 
marine  or  war  risk  causes. 

Action  to  Defend  the  Trade. 

The  nurserymen  were  quicker  to  take 
action  than  the  bulb  importers  or  flo- 
rists. On  a  call  issued  by  Thomas  B. 
Meehan,  Dresher,  Pa.,  a  committee  was 
formed  which  invites  all  interested  par- 
ties to  place  claims  in  its  hands.  An 
agreement  form  has  been  prepared  and 
a  large  number  of  consignees  have 
signed  it.  Mr.  Meehan  says  the  com- 
mittee docs  not  care  to  give  out  any 
information  at  this  time,  but  that  it 
will  be  glad  to  hear  from  anyone  who 
had  goods  on  this  boat. 

Apparently,  concerted  action  was  not 
wholly  to  tiie  liking  of  the   exporters. 


Usually,  in  case  of  numerous  losses  from 
any  cause,  the  Dutch  exporters  of  bulbs 
or  nursery  stock  do  not  stand  on  their 
legal  rights,  fearing  to  kill  the  business. 
Instead,  they  settle  with  each  man  as 
best  they  may.  From  some  they  got 
the  money;  from  others,  part  of  it;  from 
a  few,  none  at  all;  but  they  keep  the 
business. 

A  Basis  for  Compromise. 

Concerted  action  may  result  in  a  law- 
suit to  test  the  liability  of  the  trade. 
Or  it  may  result  in  a  compromise. 
There  is  an  attorney  here  from  Hollaml 
who  claims  to  represent  the  shippers 
and  the  insurers,  although  the  extent 
of  his  authority  has  not  become  ap- 
parent. 

One  man  who  had  close  to  $1,000 
worth  of  goods  on  the  boat  ventures 
the  opinion  that  if  it  is  decided  that  the 
Hollanders  are  right  on  the  law  points, 
it  still  will  be  possible  to  effect  a 
compromise,  perhaps  one  even  better 
than  the  proverbial  fifty-fifty.  He  says 
when  the  disposition  of  his  stock  is 
shown  he  expects  the  shipper  will  stand 
one-third,  the  insurance  company  wilt 
pay  one-third  and  the  American  who 
got  nothing  but  trouble  will  pay  the  re- 
maining third.  The  most  doubtful  fac- 
tor is  the  insurance  company. 


To  forestall  a  probable  shortage  of 
forcing  bulbs,  S.  J.  Goddard,  of  Fram- 
ingham,  Mass.,  is  planning  to  follow  his 
chrysanthemums  with  stocks  and  snap- 
dragons. 

William  Vert,  president  of  the  Chrys- 
anthemum Society  of  America,  has  left 
Castlegould,  Port  Washington,  L.  I., 
and  ■  become  superintendent  at  The 
Elms,  the  home  of  C.  V.  Brokaw,  at  Gleu 
Cove. 

Automobilists  always  are  welcome 
at  flower  stores,  but  when  a  car  driven 
by  a  woman  skidded  and  crashed 
through  the  display  Avindow  of  The 
Rosery,  at  Bridgeport,  Conn.,  George 
Pflomni  remarked  that  he  "would 
rather  they  left  their  cars  outside." 

It  is  good  news  to  hear  that  Frederick 
J.  Michell,  of  the  H.  F.  Michell  Co., 
Philadelphia,  who  was  severely  injured 
four  weeks  ago  when  struck  by  an  auto- 
mobile, is  on  the  "highroad"  to  com- 
plete recovery.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that 
there  are  no  speed  maniacs  on  that  high- 
road. 

The  biblical  pronoimcement  that 
"the  first  shall  be  last  and  tlie  last 
first"  does  not  apply  to  the  selective 
draft,  and  in  all  probability  John 
Walch,  of  H.  Bayersdorfer  &  Co., 
Philadelphia,  is  glad  of  it.  Mr.  Walch 's 
"red  ink"  draft  number  was  the  last 
one  drawn  at  \Vashington,  and  in  this 
case  the  first  shall  be  first  and  the  last 
last. 

While  jnany  growers  are  complaining 
about  the  rise  in  the  price  of  coal, 
Blowitt  &  Pickett,  of  Des  I'laines,  111., 
came  near  having  a  record  rise  in  that 
precious  commodity.  Two  dynamite 
bombs  were  found  July  25  in  a  car  of 
coal  consigned  to  the  firm,  according  to 
a  report,  and  delivered  at  the  range. 
Federal  agents  are  investigating  the 
case.

DO  CARNATIONS  PAY? 


Well,   They  Certainly  Pay  Kinzie. 

Motorists  passing  through  the  city  of 
South  Bend,  Ind.,  note  a  well  kept  green- 
house property  just  outside  the  city  on 
the  east,  on  the  Lincoln  highway.  It 
is  the  establishment  of  H.  M.  Kinzie, 
who  sells  most  of  his  cut  flowers  at  re- 
tail, although  a  part  go  to  the  flower 
stores  in  South  Bend.  Like  many  of 
the  smaller  growers,  Mr.  Kinzie  pins  his 
faith  to  the  Enchantress  family,  grow- 
ing Enchantress,  White  Enchantress  and 
■Rose-pink  Enchantress.  In  the  season 
just  closed  by  throwing  out  and  re- 
planting, he  had  930  plants  on  the 
benches.  Here  is  the  record  of  the  cut 
by  months: 

Blooms  Cut  Splits 

September,   IfilG    154 

October,     191(i     937  7 

November,    1916    946  14 

December,    1916    1,051  72 

January,    1917    2,108  1.52 

February.    1917    1,559  8.3 

March,   1917    2,085  68 

April,    1917    1,772  68 

May,    1917     2,480  158 

June,    1917    3,7.54  61 

July,  1917   2,827  15 

Total     19,733  698 

This  makes  an  average  of  twenty-two 
blooms  per  plant,  counting  the  splits, 
which  were  less  than  one  per  plant. 

The  total  sales  for  the  season  were 
$736.82,  which  is  3.11  cents  per  flower, 
counting  splits,  or  3.73  cents  per  flower 
counting  only  perfect  flowers. 

The  receipts  per  plant  were  79.22 
cents. 

A  part  of  the  good  financial  showing 
was  due  to  the  fact  that  only  two  plants 
died,  and  these  two  so  early  in  the 
season  that  they  were  replaced;  every 
plant  therefore  was  a  producer. 

This  was  Mr.  Kinzie 's  second  season. 
In  his  first  year  at  carnation  growing 
he  had  798  plants  on  the  benches.  Forty- 
two  died,  but  the  others  gave  14,717 
blooms,  which  sold  for  $575.  It  was 
18.4  blooms  per  plant  and  72  cents  per 
plant. 

A  SUBSTITUTE  FOR  WARD. 

Please  give  me  the  name  of  a  rose- 
pink  carnation  that  will  take  the  place 
of  Mrs.  C.  W.  Ward  and  make  as  good 
a  plant  as  the  menibors  of  the  Enchant- 
ress family.  We  have  Mrs.  C.  W.  Ward 
now,  but  cannot  do  anything  with  it 
and  should  like  to  find  a  substitute  for 
it,    aside    from    Rose-pink    Encliantress. 

W.  A.  &  S.— Wis. 


Mrs.  C.  W.  Ward  and  Rose-pink  En- 
chantress are  the  two  popular  varieties 
in  this  vicinity  in  the  medium  shade  of 
pink.  Tlie  former  is  liked  for  its  gen- 
eral excellence  and  the  latter  on  account 
of  its  easy  management.  There  are 
other  varieties  in  the  same  shade  of 
color,  each  of  which  has  its  special 
merits.  Among  these  is  Good  Cheer, 
which  makes  a  good  flower  on  a  splen- 
did stem;   its  most   serious  fault   is  an 


inclination  to  show  traces  of  carnation 
yellows  and  this  demands  close  selec- 
tion in  propagating.  Another  is  Miss 
Theo,  which  makes  a  fine  plant  and 
blooms  freely,  but  is  a  trifle  undersized 
for  high-class  trade.  Zoe  Symonds  seems 
quite  popular  with  some  growers;  it  ^ 
does  not  grow  quite  so  vigorously  as 
the  Enchantress  varieties  in  our  soil, 
but  might  prove  quite  satisfactory  with 
you.  Mrs.  C.  E.  Akehurst  has  some 
friends,  on  account  of  its  vigorous 
growth;  it  is  a  good  carnation,  but  not 
good  enough  to  displace  Ward  here.  We 
suggest  that  you  try  a  limited  quantity 
of  each  of  these  and  select  the  one  that 
comes  the  nearest  to  filling  your  needs. 
You  might  also  try  some  of  Dorner's 
Rosalia  and  Roper's  Albert  Roper,  two 
of  this  year's  acquisitions.

CARE  OF  THE  BENCH  PLANTS. 


Spraying   and   Other  Attentions. 

After  having  set  the  carnation  plants 
in  the  new  soil  and  watered  them  in 
well,  you  will  confine  your  watering 
mainly  to  the  overhead  spraying,  ex- 
cept to  touch  a  dry  spot  here  and  there 
occasionally.  Not  much  of  this  water- 
ing in  spots  will  be  required  if  the  soil 
was  moistened  evenly  all  over  the  bed 


before  planting.  You  will  notice  that, 
as  a  result  of  the  first  watering,  many 
of  the  plants  have  fallen  over  to  one 
side.  After  a  few  days  the  soil  will 
become  drained  of  the  excess  water  and 
become  set,  as  growers  term  it.  You 
should  then  go  over  the  beds  and 
straighten  up  the  plants  that  have  fallen 
over,  by  pressing  the  soil  against  the 
stems  enough  to  hold  the  plants  up- 
right. If  the  plants  have  been  set  deep 
enough  in  the  soil  they  will  stand  up- 
right without  further  trouble.  This 
method  is  better  than  to  put  on  the  sup- 
ports right  away,  as  the  supports  inter- 
fere more  or  less  with  working  the  soil. 

Using  the  Soil-Scratcher. 

By  the  time  the  plants  will  stand  up 
without  being  sprayed  overhead  during 
the  heat  of  the  day,  you  will  find  the 
soil  in  excellent  condition  to  be  worked 
on  the  surface  for  the  first  time.  There 
may  be  a  light  green  scum  on  the  sur- 
face and  the  first  crop  of  young  weeds 
probably  will  be  pushing  through  the 
soil.  Both  of  these  you  want  to  get  rid 
of  speedily.  Use  one  of  the  many  styles 
of  soil-scratchers  for  this.  Break  up 
the  crust  to  a  depth  of  about  an  inch 
and  pulverize  it  thoroughly,  but  be  care- 
ful not  to  heap  it  up  around  the  plants, 
a  mistake  we  find  prevalent  among 
green  help.  After  a  bed  is  scratched, 
spray  lightly  overhead  and  leave  the 
bed  in  that  condition  for  a  day  before 
you  water.  Then  give  a  thorough  water- 
ing, and  thereafter  water  as  you  would 
any  establislied  plants.  The  texture  of 
your  soil  will  determine  how  frequently 
you  should  work  the  surface  afterward, 
but  it  should  not  be  allowed  to  become 
crusted  over  hard  at  anv  time.

The  Florists^  Review 


August  2,  1917. 


NEW  YORK. 


The  Market. 

Last  week  was  a  scorcher,  Friday  be- 
ing the  hottest  July  27  in  twenty-five 
years,  and  as  a  result  there  was  a  no- 
ticeable absence  of  demand  in  the 
wholesale  market  until  Saturday,  when 
there  was  a  clean-up  of  everything  of 
good  quality.  The  accumulations  of 
the  week,  however,  could  scarcely  be 
given  away. 

Roses,  the  perfect  ones,  were  steadier. 
Good  Ophelias  and  I'rinia  Donnas  sold 
at  $8  per  hundred.  The  best  American 
Beauties  brought  $25  per  hundred. 
Many  rosCs  showed  the  effects  of  heat 
and  mildew,  and  thousands  were  small 
in  bud  and  stem.  These  were  quoted 
at  50  cents  and  $1  per  hundred.  Some 
excellent  carnations,  especially  Wards, 
still  arrive.  The  shipments,  however, 
grow  smaller  each  week  and  the  quality 
is  depreciating. 

The  market  is  heavily  stocked  with 
lilies.  The  price  July  28  was  $4  per 
hundred.  A  few  extra  long-stemmed 
brought  $5  per  hundred.  Valley  is  not 
abundant,  but  little  of  it  brings  more 
than  $4  per  hundred.  The  supply  of 
rubrum  lilies  is  excessive.  The  prices 
on  orchids  are  holding  steadv,  good 
gigas  bringing  60  cents  each.  The  flood 
of  asters  is  beginning.  Last  week  50 
cents  to  $2  per  hundred  were  the  quota- 
tions. Every  window  in  the  wholesale 
section  displayed  them.  Everything 
indicates  an  enormous  supply,  the 
weather  having  been  especially  favor- 
able to  them.  The  supply  of  gladioli 
is  sufiicient  for  the  demand.  There  is 
a  large  supply  of  miscellaneous  stock, 
which  finds  little  demand.  Daisies, 
sweet  peas,  delphiniums,  coreopsis  and 
the  other  outdoor  flowers  arrive  in  such 
quantities  that  they  bring  little  money. 

Various  Notes. 

The  next  meeting  of  the  New  York 
Florists'  Club  will  be  held  at  the  club's 
rooms  in  the  Grand  Opera  House  build- 
ing, Monday  evening,  August  13.  Ex- 
hibits of  gladioli  and  asters  will  be 
staged. 

The  S.  A.  F.  convention  is  the  prin- 
cipal topic  of  conversation  among  the 
florists  and  preparations  are  being  made 
for  a  large  attendance.  The  headquar- 
ters of  the  Ladies'  S.  A.  F.  will  be  at 
the  Hotel  McAlpin,  where  the  annual 
meeting  and  a  social  gathering  for  the 
members  will  be  held  Thursday  eve- 
ning, August  2.'?.  Philip  Kessler,  chair- 
man of  the  entertainment  committee, 
has  engaged  the  blue  and  green  rooms 
at  tlie  hotel  for  the  occasion.  A  buffet 
su{i]u'r    vdU   be   served. 

Many  of  the  New  York  wholesalers 
attended  the  annual  outing  of  the  Es- 
sex Countv,  N.  J.,  Florists'  Club  at 
Gillette,  N.  J.,  August  1. 

When  all  the  young  men  who  are 
drafted  leave  for  the  front,  Twenty- 
eighth  street  and  other  florists'  cen- 
ters will  be  lonesome. 

N.  Christatos  will  build  a  13-story 
apartment  house  on  the  site  of  his  store 
at  I'ifty-eighth  street  and  Sixth  ave- 
nue, retaining  tlie  corner  room  for  his 
business. 

Harold  Coojier  now  is  one  of  the  oflice 
force  of  the  Kervan  Co. 

Kenneth  Shaw,  bookkeeper  for  Badg- 
ley  &  Bishop,  has  returned  from  a  two 
weeks'  vacation  sjient  at  Niagara  Falls 
and  in  Ohio.  John  Eganbrod,  head 
salesman   for  this  firm,  left  July  31   for 


a  trip  to  California,  with  stops  at  the 
principal  cities  en  route.  He  will  re- 
turn in  September. 

Walter  Siebrecht  and  Clarence  Slinn, 
who  made  an  auto  trip  to  California, 
have  arrived  at  Pasadena.  They  will 
return  by  train  after  spending  two 
weeks  on  the  coast. 

D.  F.  Pappas,  president  of  the  United 
Cut  Flower  Co.,  spent  last  week  in  New 
England,  visiting  Newport,  Boston  and 
several  other  cities.  After  the  S.  A.  F. 
convention,  Mr.  Pappas  expects  to  take 
a  fishing  trip. 

Henry  Weston,  of  Hempstead,  L.  I., 
and  Charles  Weber,  of  Lynbrook,  L.  I., 
and  their  wives  have  returned  from  a 
week  spent  in  the  Berkshire  hills,  Con- 
necticut. 

John  Donaldson,  of  Patchogue,  L.  I., 
who  recently  was  severely  bruised  when 
he  was  struck  by  an  automobile,  is  re- 
covering. 

Traendly  &  Schenck  have  moved  their 
offices  to  the  front  of  their  store  at  43 
Sixth  avenue,  thereby  doubling  the 
space  in  the  rear  where  shipments  are 
handled. 

James  B.  Deal,  who  has  stands  at 
several  of  the  cabarets,  is  serving  on  a 
jury. 

Paul  Meconi  has  a  new  glass  front 
for  his  store  at  55  West  Twenty-sixth 
street.  On  it  appears  the  new  firm 
name,  Meconi  &  Son.  The  young  man 
paid  his  first  visit  to  the  wholesale  mar- 
ket July  28.  Mrs.  Meconi  again  is  in 
charge  of  the  office. 

James  Coyle  is  seriously  ill  and  his 
store  is  closed. 

The  Henry  M.  Robinson  Co.  is  mak- 
ing several  changes  in  its  store,  includ- 
ing a  new  front. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Irving  Goldstein  have 
returned  from  their  wedding  trip  and 
are  living  at  Averne.  George  Futter- 
man  also  is  at  Averne  for  the  summer. 

James  Hart,  of  Madison,  N.  J.,  again 
is  back  on  Twenty-eighth  street  after 
an  enforced  vacation  with  a  broken  rib. 
It  was  his  first  vacation  in  thirty  years. 

The  R.  J.  Irwin  store  now  closes  at 
1  o'clock  Saturdays. 

Charles  Matthews,  salesman  for  E. 
Horan,  who  had  been  ill  for  five  weeks, 
has  recovered. 

P.  J.  Smith  received  a  total  of  50,750 
lilies  last  week,  10,625  arriving  Satur- 
day. 

Mrs.  Fred  Kervan  and  family  spent 
the  last  two  weeks  at  Asburv  Park, 
N.  J. 

A.  L.  Young  &  Co.  are  putting  a  new 
front  in  their  building  at  54  west  Twen- 
ty-eighth street  and  are  preparing  for 
an  energetic  campaign  this  fall. 

Robert  Jackson 's  draft  number  was 
1,999  and  he  expects  to  be  called  to  the 
colors  soon. 

Many  employees  of  the  wholesale  and 
retail  stores  are  away  on  their  vaca- 
tions. Among  them  are:  Joseph  Le- 
vine,  of  Guttman  &  Ravnor,  at  White 
lake,  in  tlie  Catskills;  H.  W.  Gallaer, 
with  the  G.  W.  Grawbuck  Co ,  is  at 
Springfield,  L.  I.  Those  who  re- 
turned last  week  are  Miss  Jean- 
ette  McNamey,  bookkeeper  for  Charles 
Millang;  Miss  Brandt,  bookkeeper  for 
Goldstein  &  Futterman;  ]\[r.  Bradshaw, 
of  William  Kessler 's  staff;  Frank  Gols- 
ner  and  Robert  Jackson;  Isadore  Duke, 
of  Gunther  Bros.;  Miss  Conklin,  book- 
kee^ier  for  H.  E.  Froment;  Miss  Gold- 
berg, bookkeeper  for  the  United  Cut 
Flower   Co. 


Mr.    and   Mrs.   Charles   Kessler   have 
left  for  two  weeks  at  the  seashore. 

Percy  Rigby,  manager  of  the  New 
York  store  of  the  S.  S.  Pennock  Co. 
Philadelphia,  says  that  it  is  diflficult  to 
secure  competent  female  office  help,  the 
demand  by  banks  and  other  institution.s 
being  so  great  now  that  the  war  has 
called  many  young  men.  Mr.  Hicks,  oi 
this  company,  has  returned  from  a  throe 
weeks'  rest  at  his  home  on  Long  Is 
land.  J.  Austin  Shaw. 


Wertheimer  Bros,  are  now  working; 
in  their  mill  at  Paterson,  N.  J.,  on  a 
large  contract  secured  from  the  United 
States  government  to  supply  ribbon  hat 
bands  for  the  United  States  navy. 

It  Is  Now  Max  Schling,  Inc. 

Max  Schling 's  business  has  outgrown 
its  quarters  at  22  West  Fifty-ninth 
street  and  the  retail  cut  flower  and 
landscape  department  will  be  moved  to 
785  Fifth  avenue,  although  the  present 
store  will  be  retained  to  house  the  seed 
department.  At  the  same  time  it  is  an- 
nounced that  the  business  has  been  in- 
corporated under  the  name  Max  Schling, 
Inc.,  with  a  capital  stock  of  $50,000. 

The  new  Fifth  avenue  store  has  9,000 
square  feet  of  space  and  is  in  the  heart 
of  the  more  exclusive  residence  and 
hotel  section  of  the  city.  The  Fifty- 
ninth  street  store  has  two  floors,  but 
they  did  not  provide  sufficient  space. 
Both  stores  will  bear  the  new  name. 


MOTT-LY  MUSINGS. 

Otto  Ernst,  of  Norwich,  Conn.,  sees 
good  business  ahead  and  predicts  quite 
a  crowd  at  the  convention  of  the  S.  A. 
F.  A  special  car  will  be  chartered 
if  enough  florists  from  his  neighbor- 
hood can  go. 

Johnston  Bros.,  of  Providence,  speak 
well  of  the  F.  T.  D.  A  fine  spray  formed 
of  Lilium  auratum — some  blooms  had  a 
double  row  of  petals — was  noted. 

W.  A.  Dawson,  of  Willimantic,  Conn., 
notes  a  smaller  call  for  bedding  plants 
this  season,  the  more  noticeable  because 
the  stock  was  excellent.  He  looks  for 
a  good  fall  business,  nevertheless. 

The  W.  W.  Edgar  Co.,  of  Waverley, 
Mass.,  is  preparing  stock  for  next  win- 
ter quite  independently  of  any  foreign 
assistance.  A  fine  batch  of  Giant  cycla- 
mens, in  6-inch  pans,  was  noted.  "This 
matter  of  being  independent,"  observed 
Herman  Bartsch,  "reminds  me  of  the 
sick  man  who  was  prescribed  a  tonic  to 
be  taken  in  small  doses.  He  argued  that 
by  absorbing  the  whole  contents  at  one 
time  he  might  knock  down  Goliath.  Go 
slowly,  but  surely,"  concluded  Mr. 
Bartsch,  "and  we  will  certainly  get 
there." 

D.  N.  Potter,  of  Auburn,  R.  I.,  one  of 
the  largest  growers  of  vegetables  in 
this  locality,  says  that  while  the  whole- 
sale prices  are  unsatisfactory  on  ac- 
count of  the  quantity  of  vegetables  be- 
ing grown  by  amateurs,  the  consumer 
who  has  to  purchase  is  paying  high. 
The  professional  will  have  his  turn 
later.  W.  M. 


Waterbury,  Conn. — A.  Dallas  &  Son 
are  most  sanguine  regarding  fall  busi- 
ness. "We  certainly  shall  keep  the 
fires  burning,  expecting  to  grow  more 
stock  if  imported  stock  fails  us,"  said 
Mr.  Dallas.  "Funeral  work  shows  no 
sign  of  decreasing;  in  fact,  it  was  never 
better."

Mount  Greenwood  cemetery. 


CLEVELAND. 


Joshua  Ladley. 

Joshua  Ladley,  who  was  well  known 
in  the  Philadelphia  market,  died  last 
week  at  his  home  at  Kennett  Square, 
I'a.,  where  for  many  years  he  specialized 
in  carnations.  He  was  for  many  years  a 
regular  shipper  to  William  J.  Baker, 
the  wholesaler  of  Philadelphia,  and  be- 
lieved that,  like  a  good  family  doctor, 
a  good  commission  merchant  should  not 
be  changed  when  once  chosen.  A  son  of 
the  decedent  is  foreman  for  William 
Swayne,  of  Kennett  Square. 

A.  A.  Pantet. 

One  of  the  old-time  florists  of  Arkan- 
sas, A.  A.  Pantet,  who  for  many  years 
conducted  a  business  at  Port  Smith, 
died  last  week  at  his  home,  at  the  age  of 
52.  The  decedent  was  born  in  France, 
December  30,  1865,  and  at  the  age  of 
15  came  to  America.  Upon  his  arrival 
at  Fort  Smith  ten  years  later  he  started 
a  florists'  business,  which  he  conducted 
successfully  until  failing  health  in  1912 
caused  him  to  retire  and  turn  the  busi- 
ness over  to  another  concern.  Mrs. 
Pantet,  two  daughters,  two  brothers  and 
a  sister  survive. 

William  E.  Cratz. 

William  E.  Cratz,  a  pioneer  seed  deal- 
er of  Toledo,  O.,  died  at  his  home  in  that 
city  July  21.  He  was  63  years  old.  Mr. 
Cratz  first  engaged  in  business  in  To- 
ledo thirty-three  years  ago.  Later  he 
formed  a  partnership  with  his  brother, 
Henry,  doing  business  under  the  name 
of  Cratz  Bros.  Henry  Cratz  died  twelve 
years  ago.  Mr.  Cratz  leaves  his  wife, 
one  son,  Ben.iamin  A.,  and  a  daughter, 
Miss  Hazel  Cratz. 

Jolin  C.  Mulder. 

The  Chicago  trade  was  startled  last 
week  by  news  of  the  sudden  death  of 
John  C.  Mulder,  one  of  the  first  florists 
of  the  city,  who  had  conducted  green- 
liouses  on  Normal  avenue  since  the  days 
when  Auburn  Park  was  a  swamp,  and 
whose  father's  establishment  dated  as 
far  back  as  the  year  1867.  Mr.  Mulder 
was  stricken  with  heart  failure  while 
out  driving  with  Mrs.  Mulder  July  24, 
and  died  at  the  wheel — an  unuSual,  but 
one  may  say  easy  end. 

The  decedent  was  born  November  21, 
1859,  at  Groningen,  Holland,  where  his 
father.  Card  Mulder,  conducted  a  nur- 
sery and  florists'  business.  He  came 
to  America  with  his  parents  in  1866, 
and  later  learned  the  business  under  his 
father,  who  had  established  a  green- 
house business  at  what  tlien  was  868 
West  Lake  street,  Chicago,  in  1867,  the 
establishment  passing  to  other  hands 
after  nineteen  vears  of  success. 

At  the  age  of  27,  in  1886,  John  C. 
started  the  business  which  later  became 
known  as  the  Auburn  Park  Greenhouses, 
at  7923  Normal  avenue,  and  in  which 
he  was  engaged  at  the  time  of  his  death. 
In  the  course  of  thirty-one  years  Mr. 
Mulder  built  up  a  good  trade.  He  was 
well  liked  in  the  community  and  was 
known  as  a  man  of  sterling  character. 
He  is  survived  by  his  wife,  two  married 
daughters  and  a  son,  Miner,  who  was 
associated  with  his  father  in  the  busi- 
ness and  who  will  continue  it. 

The   funeral   services  were   held   Fri- 


The  Market. 

Business  this  week  has  been  rather 
dull,  due  chiefly  to  the  abnormally  hot 
weather.  Asters  are  more  plentiful, 
taking  the  place  of  carnations,  which 
disappeared  from  this  market  last  week. 
Sweet  peas  are  abundant,  but  are  rap- 
idly deteriorating  in  quality.  Eoses,  par- 
ticularly the  longer  grades,  are  scarce, 
while  the  medium  and  short  stock  is  in 
moderate  supply.  Some  choice  gladioli 
of  the  varieties  America,  Niagara,  Pink 
Beauty  and  King  are  coming  in,  but 
not  in  suflScient  abundance  to  meet  the 
demand  for  this  ever  popular  flower. 
Easter  and  rubrum  lilies  are  plentiful, 
moving  slowly. 

Some  retailers  report  a  July  business 
in  excess  of  that  for  the  same  period  of 
last  year,  while  many  claim  to  be  barely 
approximating  their  previous  records, 
but  the  consensus  is  that  trade  has  been 
materially  better. 

H.  "PubUcity"  Knoble. 

The  lavish  use  of  printers'  ink  by 
Knoble  Bros,  is  much  commented  on  by 
observing  competitors.     This  enterpris- 


John  C.  Mulder. 

ing  firm  believes  that  in  constantly  keep- 
ing at  it  by  this  method  lies  the  sure 
and  logical  road  to  ultimate  success. 
And  results  prove  it  for  them!  Their 
slogan,  ' '  A  store  as  near  to  you  as  the 
nearest  phone,"  is  being  speedily  con- 
verted into  liousehold  words  by  con- 
stant use  of  the  a<lvertising  columns  of 
the  daily  papers.  This  course,  combined 
with  the  analysis  of  prevailing  condi- 
tions and  application  of  accepted  busi- 
ness princi])les,  is  turning  the  trick. 
And   it  is  worthy  of   emulation. 

Various  Notes. 

A  regular  meeting  of  the  Florists' 
riuV)  will  be  held  Monday,  August  6,  at 
8  p.  m.  sharp.  Annual  nomination  of 
oilicers  and  final  arrangements  for  the 
j)iciiic  will  be  the  chief  matters  of  busi- 
ness for  transaction  at  this  meeting. 

Carl  Wilson,  son  of  Ella  Grant  Wil- 
son, has  enlisted  in  the  engineer  corps 
and  is  wearing  the  khaki  in  camp  at 
Gordon  park. 

Hester  A.  Getz,  of  Westinan  ^  Getz, 
has  returned  from  a  three  wccL.s"  so- 
journ in  Canada,  part  of  the  time  being 


spent  at  the  Algonquin  National  park. 
Discussing  business  conditions  with 
leading  florists  of  Montreal  and  To- 
ronto, Miss  Getz  found  the  general  tone 
weak,  due,  doubtless,  to  the  country  hav- 
ing been  in  the  throes  of  war  for  three 
years. 

H.  P.  Merrick,  of  the  Lord  &  Burn- 
ham  Co.,  has  completed  an  exceptionally 
active  month.  Building  two  conserva- 
tories in  Cleveland,  one  pipe  frame 
greenhouse  in  Youngstown  and  a  couple 
of  similar  structures  in  Cuyahoga  Falls, 
in  this  period,  bears  ample  evidence  that 
this  progressive  concern  is  playing  a 
large  part  in  the  structural  work  in 
this  vicinity.  It  also  evinces  a  condi- 
tion anything  but  apathetic  in  the 
trade. 

The  Gladiolus  Society  of  Ohio  will 
hold  its  annual  show  at  the  store  of 
Halle  Bros.,  upon  the  tentative  dates 
of  August  14  to  16.  This  exhibition 
usually  has  been  staged  at  the  Hollenden 
hotel,  but  has  never  attained  the  high 
degree  of  success  to  which  its  merit 
entitles  it.  Congratulations  are  due  the 
society  for  its  extremely  good  fortune 
in  securing  this  highly  favorable  set- 
ting on  Euclid  avenue  for  its  display. 
The  prize  list  is  in  the  course  of  prepa- 
ration and  can  be  obtained  from  the 
secretary,  Wilbur  A.  Christy,  Warren, 
O.  There  is  to  be  no  entry  fee  and  ;io 
charge  for  admission. 

According  to  present  indications, 
Cleveland  will  be  well  represented  at 
the  New  York  convention.  Among  the 
number  who  have  announced  their  in- 
tention of  going  are  F.  C.  W.  Brown,  of 
the  Gasser  Co.,  and  H.  P.  Knoble,  the 
latter,  with  his  family,  combining  the 
trip  with  a  vacation  in  the  mountains. 

Speaking  of  vacations,  listen:  Al. 
Barber,  of  the  Jones-Russell  Co.;  Walter 
Priest,  of  the  Plant  &  Flower  Co.; 
Frank  Ritzenthaler,  of  Knoble  Bros.; 
George  Bate,  of  the  Cleveland  Cut 
Flower  Co.;  Frank  Kocher  and  James 
McLaughlin,  of  the  Gasser  Co.;  Walter 
Rokusek,  of  the  Cleveland  Florists'  Ex- 
change, and  Frank  Schoen,  of  the 
Schoen  Floral  Co.,  have  just  returned, 
rested  and  rejuvenated,  from  their  vaca- 
tions. Frank  Williams,  of  the  Cleveland 
Cut  Flower  Co.;  Carl  Lee,  of  the  Gasser 
Co.;  Miss  Stroh,  of  Westman  &  Getz; 
George  Schaub  and  Jack  McGilly,  of 
Smith  &  Fetters,  and  Miss  Cliff,  of 
Christine  the  Florist,  are  away,  and  a 
host  of  others  making  preparations  to 
go.  Speaketli  not  this,  more  convinc- 
ingly timn  words,  of  an  era  of  prosperity 
among  Cleveland  florists?         J.  AIcL. 


FLOWERS     FOR     IDENTIFICATION. 

I  am  sending  you  two  wild  flowers  for 
identification.  Tliey  undoulitedly  will 
be  badly  withered  when  they  reach  you, 
as  these  prairie  flowers  wilt  quickly  even 
in  water.  One  flower  suggests  to  me  the 
petunia.  The  root  of  the  spike-formed 
flower  is  woody,  or  nearly  so.  The  in- 
dividual blossoms  arc  extremely  small 
and  of  a  most  intense  blue.  The  stamen 
stalks  are  brown  and  the  anthers  are 
dark  golden  yellow.  The  plant  is  beau- 
tiful when  in  bloom.  If  only  the  blue 
part  of  the  flower  were  larger,  the  effect 
would  be  magnificent.     B.  C.  A. — Mo. 


One  plant  only  was  in  such  a  condi- 
tion as  to  be  recognizable.  It  is  Amor- 
pha  fruticosa,  commonly  called  the  false 
indigo.  This  is  used  a  good  deal  in 
shrubberies  and  succeeds  well  under  ad- 
verse conditions.  C.  W.

Eesults  bring  advertising. 
The  Review  brings  results. 

Where  Mrs.  Russell  is  available  there 
is  little  need  for  any  other  summer  rose. 

It  never  has  paid  to  advertise  so  well 
as  it  will  pay  tlie  trade  from  this  time  on. 

The  end-of-July  heat  wave  was  general 
over  almost  all  tlie  Ignited  States.  Flo- 
rists who  eoiii|ilaiii  would  do  well  to 
remember  that  in  the  apparel  trade  bath- 
ing suits  are  the  only  ones  that  sell  in 
such  weatlicr.  We  could  expect  nothing 
else  tiian  that  the  soiling  end  of  the 
flower  business  would  be  dull. 

Charles  W.  Johnson,  secretary  of  the 
Chrysanthemum  Society  of  America,  has 
just  mailed  to  tlic  members  the  proceed- 
ings of  tiio  fiftcentli  annual  meeting,  hold 
at  Philadoii)liia  last  November.  It  is  a 
pamj)hlot  of  thirty-two  pages,  with  a 
portrait  of  President  Vert  as  a  frontis- 
piece, and  contains  lists  of  varieties  dis- 
seminated last  year  and  a  review  of  the- 
work  of  the  examining  committees,  which 
was  published  from  week  to  week  in  The 
Review  last  autumn.  The  list  of  mem- 
bers  shows   109  names. 

The  Florists'  Hail  Association  never 
has  advertised  its  advantages  in  such 
a  way  as  to  bring  them  to  the  attention 
of  the  entire  body  of  the  trade;  instead, 
it  has  relied  largely  on  word-of-mouth 
advertising.  The  Review,  therefore,  reg- 
ularly receives,  from  persons  not  thor- 
oughly informed  about  the  Hail  Associa- 
tion, inquiries  regarding  such  insurance 
as  the  association  offers.  That  there  is 
room  for  much  growth  is  shown  by  the 
fact  that  these  inquiries  have  been  con- 
siderably more  numerous  this  summer 
than  ever  before. 


IS  COAL  CHEAPER? 

When  F.  S.  Peabody,  chairman  of  the 
Committee  on  Coal  Production  in  the 
Council  of  National  Defense,  wrote  to 
The  Review  about  its  article  on  the  fix- 
ing of  coal  prices,  this'paper  replied  to 
the  effect  that  the  only  result  of  the 
widely  heralded  "reduction"  of  prices 
had  been  to  affirm  previously  existing 
high  prices.  The  letters  appeared  in 
The  Review  of  July  26. 

In  reply  Mr.  Peabody  wrote: 

I  shall  appreciate  very  much  your  giving  me 
the  names  of  any  operators  or  wholesale  com- 
panies asking  prices  in  excess  of  those  estab- 
lished as  tentative,  a  list  of  which  I  sent  you 
with  my  previous  letter. 

The  Review,  in  reply  to  the  above,  in- 
sisted: 

That  is  not  the  point.  The  agreement,  widely 
heralded  as  a  reduction  in  fuel  prices,  afforded 
our  subscribers  no  reduction  at  all.  Responsible 
florists  had  been  buying  prior  to  the  agree- 
ment at  not  more  than  the  agreement  prices. 
The  agreement  has  served  only  to  affirm  prices 
this   trade  regards  as  extortionate. 

Large  Chicago  growers  in  the  spring 
made  eontracts  for  Pocahontas  coal  for 
the  year  at  $3  per  ton  at  the  mine. 
Smaller  buyers  have  had  to  pay  middle- 
men's  profits.  The  condition  today  is 
illustrated  by  the  following  paragraph 
from  the  Coal  Trade  Journal,  New 
York: 

Trading  in  the  local  bituminous  market  has 
been  at  low  ebb  during  the  week,  because  there 
has  been  little  to  trade  with.  Practically  all  of 
the  soft  coal  coming  to  tidewater  is  being  applied 
on  contracts  or  is  being  held,  usually  in  boats, 
for  bunker  orders  in  the  offshore  trade,  there 
being  no  price  restrictions  on  this  business.  Some 
middle  houses  are  getting  a  small  tonnage  from 
their  regular  connections  on  the  basis  of  $3  net 
at  the  mines,  but  to  go  into  the  open  market  and 
buy  freely  at  that  price  is  impossible,  and  to 
I)ay  more  would  be  a  violation  of  the  Washington 
agreement. 

The  government 's  war  committees  are 

composed   of   men   from   the    industries 

with     which     they    deal.     The    Review 

hopes  to  see  the  consumers  represented 

the  next  time  an  agreement  is  made  to 

reduce  coal  prices,  or  other  prices. 


FLORISTS'   CREDIT. 

On  another  page  of  The  Review  this 
week  appears  a  letter  from  the  secre- 
tary of  the  Florists'  Telegraph  Delivery 
Association  which  calls  for  comment. 

' '  A  goodly  number  of  retail  florists 
are  absolutely  unreliable,"  says  Mr. 
Pochelon,  "and  never  intend  to  pay  a 
bill  thoy  contract." 

Tiie  Review  believes  the  statement 
overdrawn  and  in  no  way  justified  by 
the  facts. 

In  an  experience  of  some  twenty 
years  dealing  exclusively  with  florists 
the  publishers  of  The  Review  have  come 
in  contact  with  only  one  man  whom 
they  believe  to  have  been  deliberately 
dishonest.  Against  that  man  The  Re- 
view supplied  the  evidence  that  put 
him  in  the  penitentiary,  but  against  the 
rest  of  those  who  failed  to  meet  their 
obligations,  nothing  worse  can  be  said 
than  that  they  failed  to  find  the  i)ot  of 
jiold  when  thev  reached  the  end  of  their 
rainbow.  They  would  have  paid  if  they 
could. 

There  is  danger  that  ]\Ir.  Pochelon 
will  give  the  impression  that  the 
florists'  trade  is  a  trade  of  dead  beats, 
only  a  minute  fraction  of  the  total 
number  engaged  in  it  having  placed 
themselves  where  they  are  held  to  the 
straight  path  by  the  firm  hand  of  the 
F.  T.  D.  That  is  a  wrong  impression. 
Florists  in  this  respect  are  no  worse 
than  the  rest  of  humanity;  indeed,  it  is 
the  belief  of  The  Review  that  they  are 
distinctly  above  the  average  of  man- 
kind. 


Nor  does  The  Review  believe  that 
the  business  methods  of  florists  are  less 
exact  than  those  of  other  people,  al- 
though this  paper  freely  admits  that 
there  is  room  for  great  improvement. 
But  ther«  are  extenuations.  Book- 
keeping is  drudgery  for  the  man  who 
works  all  day  at  more  urgent  tasks;  the 
importance  of  finaneial  management  is 
little  appreciated  by  those  accustomed 
to  carrying  most  of  the  details  of  their 
business  in  their  heads;  the  present-day 
need  for  prompt  settlement  of  bills  is 
not  realized  by  those  who  always  have 
got  along  the  other  way,  paying  when 
they  can.  But  there  is  progress.  As 
the  trade  grows  beyond  the  one-man 
stage  the  personal  element  becomes  less 
and  less  a  factor  and  the  business  must 
be  conducted  by  and  be  judged  by  the 
rules  of  merchandising  that  apply  in 
larger  trades. 

Only  we  hope  we  of  the  trade  will  not 
handicap  our  own  progress  by  spreading 
the  idea  that  we  are  bad  people  to 
trust. 

WHAT  HAVE  YOU? 

Note  the  Wanted  and  For  Sale  depart- 
ment in  The  Review;  the  number  of  ads 
and  their  diversified  character  show 
how  well  other  people  must  be  reading 
them.  And  here  is  the  evidence  the 
readers  have  money  and  the  desire  to 
buy  good  used  articles: 

I  sold  my  used  tubular  boiler  the  same  day  the 
T)aper  came  out,  thanks  to  The  Review. — W.  F. 
Dintleman,    Bensenville,    111.,   July  28,    1917. 

And  then  this  from  an  advertiser  who 
offered  new  apparatus: 

Please  discontinue  our  ad  for  the  Detroit  re- 
turn trap,  as  it  has  been  sold  through  The  Re- 
view, which  certainly  gave  us  prompt  and  sat- 
isfactory results. — Rollins  Supply  Co.,  Chicago, 
July  30,   1917. 

Wonder  if  the  maker  of  the  Detroit 

return  traps  has  anv  of  them  he  would 

like  to  sell? 


THE  RIGHT  IDEA. 

Lloyd  C.  Stark,  the  new  president  of 
the  American  Association  of  Nursery- 
men, apparently  appreciates  that  the 
national  organizations  representing  the 
various  branches  of  the  trade  have  not 
done  good  team  work,  as  he  writes: 
' '  The  nursery,  florist  and  seed  associa- 
tions should  work  in  closer  cooperation, 
because,  when  all  is  said  and  done,  their 
interests  are  very  similar;  indeed, 
many  concerns  are  engaged  in  all  three 
branches. " 


CHICAGO. 

The  Market. 

That  there  is  no  complaint  to  be 
found  about  the  general  condition  of  the 
wholesale  cut  flower  market,  is  the  con- 
sensus among  the  wholesalers.  Al- 
though business  may  perhaps  be  con- 
sidered to  be  at  its  midsummer  dullest, 
there  is  a  fairly  strong  and  insistent 
demand  from  out  of  town,  which  keeps 
shippers  moderately  busy.  The  end  of 
last  week  may  be  said  to  have  been  un- 
usually good  for  this  season,  wdth  July 
29  as  the  outstanding  day.  Business 
held  up  fairly  well  July  30,  but  a  notice- 
able decrease  was  felt  July  31.  The 
heat  for  the  last  few  days  has  been 
terrific  and  this  has  had  its  effect  on 
buying  as  well  as  on  the  quality  of  the 
flowers.  Really  good  stock  is  not 
abundant  and  it  finds  a  ready  sale,  but 
there  is  a  considerable  quantity  of  in- 
ferior  quality  stock  arriving  which   it

|UR  Gladioli  are  locally  grown,  by  a  specialist  in  cut  flowers, 
not  by  a  man  whose  first  idea  is  a  crop  of  bulbs.    The 
early  varieties  are  ready  in  quantity— we  have  a  large  supply 
of  all  the  best  sorts,  the  old  favorites 
and  newer  kinds  that  we  believe  are  an  im- 
provement. 

We  call  special  attention  to  Myrtle,  which  is  here  offered 
in  quantity  for  the  first  time.  It  is  the  most  pleasing  shade 
of  pink  and  it  affords  more  open  flowers  at  one  time  than 
any  other  gladiolus.     Fine  stock  at  $5.00  per  100. 

AMERICAN  BEAUTIES 

Iq  addition  to  a  large  stock  of  long-stemmed  Beauties  that  are 
fine  quality  for  the  season,  we  now  have  a  large  crop  of  short  Beau- 
ties cut  from  young  plants.  These  are  extremely  popular  at  from 
$4.00  to  $8.00  per  100. 

SUMMER  ROSES 

If  you  think  your  trade  won't  buy  Roses  in  summer,  it  is  be- 
cause you  have  not  offered  them  Analing's  Roses.  Show  our  stock 
and  the  public  will  buy  it  every  day  in  the  year.  We  are  now  ready 
with  large  crops  of  fine  Ophelia,  Milady,  Sunburst,  Ward  and  Hoos- 
ier  Beauty,  cut  from  young  plants — and  of  course  we  have  the  usual 
large  daily  supply  of  Mrs.  Russell. 

Plenty  of  Short  Roses,  good  stock,  our  selection  of  varieties,  at  (IS.OO  per  1000 

ASTERS  OF  ALL  SIZES 

We  now  have  a  complete  stock  of  Asters,  all  colors  and  all

poses; prices  from  $1.00  to  $4.00  per  100.

is  found  difficult  to  move  at  even  the 
greatest  concessiojis. 

American  Beauties  are  hardly  a  fac- 
tor in  the  market,  as  there  is  but  a 
small  supply  coming  in.  What  stock 
does  arrive,  however,  is  readily  dis- 
posed of.  Good  roses,  of  all  varieties, 
were  not  plentiful,  but  moved  well.  A 
slight  shortage  of  Eussell,  which  still 
retains  its  supreme  popularity,  was 
noticed  at  times  in  some  houses,  but 
they  could  fill  their  needs  in  others. 
All  roses  may  be  sard  in  a  greater  or 
less  degree  to  show  the  effects  of  the 
heat. 

Carnations  have  about  run  their 
course.  Hardly  any  stock  arrives  and 
with  this  shortening  the  demand  also 
has  fallen  off  almost  entirely.  Valley 
is  not  plentiful,  as  little  forcing  is  be- 
ing done.     Orchids  remain  scarce. 

There  were  considerable  quantities  of 
Easter  lilies  to  be  seen  about  the  mar- 
ket, but  they  had  only  a  small  sale. 
A  moderate  supply  of  rubrum  lilies  is 
also  arriving. 

Gladioli  are  more  plentiful,  and  good 
quality  stock  is  in  strong  demand  at 
good  prices.  A  few  stocks  arrive,  but 
they  are  not  in  much  demand.  Sweet 
peas,  also,  are  only  represented  by  a 
little  poor  stock.  Astfers  are  more 
plentiful,  but  the  quality  on  the  whole 
is  poor.  There  are  many  daisies,  but 
they  are  not  in  large  demand.  Peonies 
have  about  reached  the  end  of  their  sea- 
son. Centaureas  sell  only  fairly  well. 
Snapdragons  are  of  poor  quality  and 
move  slowly. 

Agmco  Buys  Pana  Factory. 

The  American  Greenhouse  Mfg.  Co. 
has  bought  the  buildings  and  site  of  the 
Progressive  Mfg.  &  Mercantile  Co., 
Pana,  111.,  and  work  is  now  under  way 
to  move  the  company's  factory  at 
Cicero,  111.,  to  the  new  location. 

The  new  plant  comprises  four  brick 
buildings  with  a  floor  space  of  about 
80,000  square  feet,  besides  a  large  office 
building  located  directly  on  one  of  the 
four  railroads  which  run  through  the 
five  acres  of  ground  owned  by  the  com- 
pany. Three  railroad  switches  facili- 
tate the  handling  of  stock.  A  private

Various  Notes. 

The  majority  of  growers  have  been 
steadily  reducing  the  number  of  varie- 
ties grown,  some  of  them  now  having 
only  two  or  three  sorts  of  roses  or  a 
half  dozen  varieties  of  carnations,  but 
at  J.  A.  Budlong's  it  is  considered  good 
policy  to  cling  to  a  considerable  num- 
ber of  varieties  each  of  which  has  proved 
profitable  in  its  season.  This  establish- 
ment probably  grows  more  varieties  of 
roses  than  any  other  in  this  district. 
The  sorts  planted  for  next  season  are 
Mrs.  Russell,  Lady  Alice  Stanley,  Mrs. 
Wm.  R.  Hearst,  Sunburst,  Champ  Wei- 
land,      Mrs.      Aaron      Ward,      Hoosier 


Beauty,  Milady,  Double  Wliite  Killar- 
ney,  Killarney  Brilliant,  Ophelia  and 
Double  Pink  Killarney.  Of  the  corsage 
roses  George  Elger,  Baby  Doll,  Evelyn 
Nesbit  and  Cecile  Brunner  have  been 
benched.  It  will  be  noted  that  Ameri- 
can Beauty  and  Killarney  are  not  in  the 
list. 

The  5-story  warehouse  of  the  John 
C.  Moninger  Co.,  which  was  destroyed 
by  fire  on  New  Year's  eve,  is  being  re- 
built this  summer.  The  lower  floor  has 
a  17-foot  ceiling  and  is  to  be  used  as  a 
foundry. 

There  are  two  things  that  impress 
the  eastern  florist  when  he  visits  Cali- 
fornia, said  C.  L.  Washburn,  in  speak- 
ing of  his  recent  trip  to  the  coast.  The 
first  of  these  is  the  high  quality  of  the 
outdoor  flowers,  which  are  not  surpassed 
anywhere;  the  second,  the  low  prices 
at  which  flowers  sell,  carnations  being 
sold  at  retail  for  as  low  as  5  cents  per 
bunch  of  100.

H.  C.  Wendland  and  family  are  sum- 
mering at  Lake  Villa.  Mr.  Wendland 
comes  in  once  a  week  or  so  to  spend 
a  day  or  two  in  the  city  and  at  Elin- 
hurst. 

So  successful  did  Swain  Nelson  «S:  Sons 
Co.  find  its  peony  sliow  tliat  a  display 
of  flowers  of  liardy  perennials  has  been 
held  at  its  oflices  in  the  Marquette 
buildings,  backed  by  considerable  news- 
paper advertising  to  get  the  public  in. 

A.  Lange  does  not  stop  pushing  be- 
cause it  is  the  middle  of  the  summer. 
Finding  a  rose  bargain  last  week,  he  ad- 
vertised a  sale  of  dollar  boxes,  each 
containing  five  dozen  roses.  The  same 
ad  offered  longer  roses  at  25  cents,  to 
$2  per  dozen.  He  moved  a  large 
quantity. 

As  president  of  the  board  of  county 
supervisors  Peter  Reinberg  has  allied 
himself  with  the  forces  intent  on  mak- 
ing Cook  county  dry  on  the  Sabbath. 

The  George  Wittbold  Co.  has  been 
busy  working  up  stock  of  Boston  ferns 
and  recently  had  200,000  ready  for  the 
market. 

After  having  spent  so  many  years  in 
the  flower  business  in  Chicago,  H.  W. 
Rogers,  formerly  with  Weiland  &  Riseh, 
found  it  impossible  to  keep  away  from 
the  trade  after  Mrs.  Rogers  inherited 
a  competence  and  they  removed  to  De- 
troit.    He  is  -with  the  G.  H.  Taepke  Co. 

That  he  conducts  "the  only  real 
flower  store  in  Chicago  that  has  no  ice- 
box" is  the  only  boast  Walter  Adams 
«ver  makes.  He  believes  it  is  good 
policy  to  have  no  refrigerator,  because, 


he  says,  people  feel  sure  then  they  get 
fresh  flowers. 

Miss  Nettie  Parker,  who  is  secretary 
of  A.  T.  Pyfer  &  Co.,  plans  to  attend 
the  S.  A.  F.  convention  at  New  York 
on  an  eastern  vacation  trip  she  will 
make  in  company  with  her  sister. 

Visitors. 

Miss  Mae  M.  Carroll,  of  Norwood,  O., 
possibly  the  only  woman  bulb  merchant, 
lias  been  at  the  Auditorium  hotel  this 
week,  on  a  trip  combining  business  and 
pleasure. 

S.  S.  Pennock,  of  the  S.  S.  Pennock 
Co.,  Philadelphia,  made  a  brief  stay  in 
Chicago  July  30,  on  his  way  to  Denver. 
Mr.  Pennock  expects  to  be  back  in  Chi- 
cago for  a  slightly  longer  visit  in  about 
a  week. 

John  Stuppy,  of  the  Stuppy  Floral 
Co.,  St.  Joe,  Mo.,  and  Wm.  Hasselman, 
of  Independence,  Kan.,  were  visitors 
last  week. 

John  Furrow,  of  Guthrie,  Okla.,  wa.s 
a  visitor  last  week.  Mr.  Furrow  to- 
gether with  a  friend  made  the  trip  to 
Chicago  by  automobile  in  the  record 
time  of  three  days.  They  drove  day 
and  night. 

J.  R.  Souder  and  wife,  Hutchinson, 
Kan.,  were  visitors  last  week.

so  long.  Stock  in  general  is  not  in 
oversupply  and  everyone  says  that 
things  would  be  stagnant  were  it  not 
for  funeral  work,  which  has  been  fairly 
good  up  to  this  writing. 

The  new-crop  asters  are  beginning 
to  arrive  and  the  blooms  move  rather 
well.  The  quantity,  however,  as  yet  is 
negligible,  and  the  stems  are  short. 
Sweet  peas  are  still  with  us,  although 
the  stems  are  short  and  the  quality  is 
only  medium.  There  are  good  snap- 
dragons, which  move  as  well  as  could  be 
expected.  Lilies  have  shortened  in 
supply  to  some  extent,  but  they  are  not 
selling  any  better  than  they  have  for 
the  last  few  weeks.  Valley  remains 
scarce  and  the  quality  is  not  what  it 
should  be,  but  the  daily  cut  nevertheless 
finds  a  ready  sale,  despite  the  condition 
of  the  stock. 

Carnations    are    still    in    the    market,

but  the  quantity  is  decreasing^  every 
tlay.  The  quality  is  boconiing  poorer 
and  the  prices  realized  are  low.  There 
is  only  a  limited  cut  of  roses,  with  a 
scarcity  of  red.  Extra  fine  quality  is 
lacking  in  this  stock,  and  while  the  cut 
is  moving  readily  prices  are  down.

Miss  Gumz,  with  the  Edlefscn-Leidi-

the  sincere  sympathy  of  her  many

We   are  the   largest    manufacturers  of  Floral   Wirework  in  the

Prices  will  not  be  lower  than  at  present.

This  is  a  large  proportion,  despite  the 
fact  that  two  in  all  probability  will  be 
exomjjted. 

N.  Zweifel  and  family  are  making  an 
extensive  auto  trip  through  northern 
Wisconsin.  The  last  report  we  had  stat- 
ed that  they  were  having  a  good  time 
at  the  Apostle  islands.  Mr.  Zweifel  says 
that  his  "bus"  won't  go  well  there, 
but  that  there  are  plenty  of  boats. 

Among  the  visitors  last  week  were 
Mrs.  H.  A.  Levenhagen,  of  Manitowoc; 
Clarke  Adams,  of  Racine,  and  L.  Turner, 
Jr.,  of  Kenosha.  Mr.  Turner  is  an  en-

•"  Gladioli  were  the  principal  item  of 
stock  both  in  supply  and  demand  last 
week.  The  flowers  are  of  good  quality, 
"America,  Peace  and  a  few  of  the  other 
leading  varieties  selling  for  $4  per  hun- 
-dred,  while  the  ordinary  stock  brought 
$3  per  hundred.  Lilies  were  scarce  the 
first  part  of  the  week,  owing  to  the  dark 
weather.  The  sunshine  of  the  last  part 
of  the  week,  however,  brought  plenty 
of  them  to  supply  the  demand.  Gigan- 
teuni  and  rubrum  still  are  selling  for  $8 
per  liundred.  A  few  gold  band  lilies 
have  made  their  aj)pcarance. 

Good  roses  sold  at  prices  ranging 
from  $!..')()  to  $5  per  hundred.  Carna- 
tions are  scarce.  Daisies  are  less  plenti- 
ful, but  tlie  demand  was  good.  Snap- 
dragons are  of  good  quality  and  supply. 
Asters  are  arriving  in  quantities,  but 
the  quality  so  far  has  been  inferior. 
Sweet  peas  have  gone  and  buddleia  has 
taken  their  place.  Dahlias  are  coming 
in  larger  quantities.  Miscellaneous  out- 
door stock  is  being  used  tor  window  dis- 
plays. Plumosus,  Sprengeri  and  smilax 
are  scarce,  but  good  ferns  are  in  the 
market. 

Various  Notes. 

Tennis  Elder  and  family  have  been

Moore,  Llewellyn  &  Co.  made  a  window 
of  outdoor  flowers;  William  F.  Holmes 
presented  pandauus  and  the  New  York 
Florists  had  a  pretty  window  of  sweet 
peas  in  various  hues  and  wondrous  col- 
ors. The  latter  had  a  good  week  of 
funeral  work. 

Swanson's  had  a  fine  stock  of  gar- 
den flowers  last  week.  The  interior  of 
the  store  was  a  mass  of  gladioli,  baby's 
breath,  daisies,  sweet  peas  and  other 
stock,  including  roses  and  greens.

PHILADELPHIA.. 


The  Market. 

The  intense  li(>at  has  depressed  the 
cut  flower  market. 

The  .sup])ly  of  gladioli  has  increased 
heavily,  beyond  the  ability  of  the  buy- 
ers to  take  them.  Prices  have  fallen, 
despite  the  fact  that  the  quality  of  the 
blooms  is  excellent.  Asters  have  also 
increased,  but  tliere  are  more  poor  asters 
in  proportion  to  the  good  ones  than 
there  were  a  week  ago.  Roses  are  more 
abundant  in  the  lower  than  upper 
grades.  Easter  lilies  continue  plentiful. 
There  are  not  man}'  small  white  flowers 
just  now,  but  there  are  plenty  of  colored 
flowers  from  outdoors — the  showy  kind 
suggestive  of  old-fashioned  gardens. 
They  sell  rather  jtoorly,  at  low  prices. 
Taken  all  in  all,  .July  has  been  quite  as 
good  as  usual  from  a  business  stand- 
point, i)robably  a  little  ahead  of  last 
year. 

Summer  Chat. 

Adolph  Farenwald,  the  well-known 
rose  specialist,  now  president  of  the 
Philadelphia  Florists'  Club,  is  speaking. 
"It  does  not,"  he  says,  "take  brains 
to  grow  flowers  successfully.  It  takes 
conditions — good  soil,  good  food  and, 
above  all,  good  water.  It  takes  brains 
to  run  a  business,  to  sell  the  product,  to 
pay  the  bills.  It  does  not  take  brains 
to    grow   flowers.      Take   my   own    case.

Those  ground  shoots  that  Liberty  pro- 
duced in  winter  were  the  result  of  good 
conditions.  Since  then  the  Si)ringfield 
AVater  Co.  has  changed  the  source  of  its 
water  supply.  It  got  its  water  from 
Neshanning  creek.  The  water  was  so 
muddy  that  tons  of  alum  were  used  to 
clarify  it,  and  the  alum  poisoned  the 
roses.  My  plants  would  not  grow.  Now 
we  have  good  water  and  our  plants  are 
doing  better.  Then  take  soil  that  has 
been  used  in  the  greenhouse,  seeded  over 
outside  and  then  brought  into  the  green- 
house again.  Plants  will  not  bloom  \('ell 
in  it.  They  will  grow,  but  not  as  they 
should.     They  require  virgiu  soil.     No, 


it  does  not  take  brains  to  grow  plants;  it 
takes  conditions,  proper  conditions." 

"I  think,"  Leo  Niessen  gently  inter- 
posed, "close  personal  attention  is  what 
counts.' ' 

Mr.  Farenwald  evidently  intended  to 
lay  special  stress  on  judgment  or  fore- 
siglit  as  indispensable  where  hard  work 
is  to  receive  i)roper  returns. 

M.  J.  Callahan,  the  leading  "Wjcst  Phil-

query  regarding  midsummer  business. 
"It  is  not  difficult  to  make  expenses  in

ways a  certain  amount  of  funeral  work

nature  and  very  effective.  The  varieties  of  Crepe  Flowers  are  Chrysanthemums,  Dahlias, 
Orchids,  Carnations  and  Roses.  The  colors  are  just  those  afforded  by  natural  blooms.  Try

residence  in  St.  Timothy's  hospital, 
following  his  operation  for  appendicitis.

Bridgeport  florists  recently  formed  a 
club  and  have  found  it  helpful,  not 
only  as  a  means  of  getting  together  for 
a  social  time,  but  as  a  place  where  sub- 
jects of  interest  to  the  trade  can  be 
discussed.  No  rooms  have  been  secured 
for  the  meetings,  it  having  been  de- 
cided to  meet  at  the  members'  estab- 
lishments for  the  present. 

The  July  meeting  was  held  at  Fred 
Kolb's  place  on  Capital  avenue.  At  the 
meeting  it  was  decided  to  have  an  out-

pairs  to  their  establishment  on  Myrtle 
avenue.  They  are  cutting  some  fine 
gladioli  novF. 

Carl  Reck,  of  John  Eeck  &  Son,  is  on 
a  motor  trip  through  New  Hampshire. 

Miss  Jennings'  private  estate  at  Fair- 
field, Conn.,  was  thrown  open  to  the 
public  for  a  week  recently.  The  rose 
garflen  holds  a  great  mass  of  pink  and 
white  ramblers  on  trellises  on  either  side 
of  an  artificial  lake,  while  Mrs.  Aaron 
Ward  roses  were  in  profusion.  A  mar- 
ble urn  filled  with  dark  purple  petunias 
of  a  rare  variety,  and  the  rock  garden, 
were  interesting.  I.  L.  B.

The  Market. 

*rra"de'#'' frightfully    dull   and    ship- 
ments arrive  in- none  too  good  condition. 
s  ThQ  extreme  iieat  is  responsible  for  this. 
>  putdobi:.^ stock  is  arriving  in  large  quan- 
*■  titles  awd  much  of  it  goes  to  waste  on 
•1  account  of  existing  conditions.     There 
:'^  is  an  excessive  supply  of  carnations  and 
they   are   offered   at   sacrifice  prices   to 
clear.     Good  quality   stock  is  bringing 
from  $1  to  $1.50.     The  daily  shipments 
of  roses  are  not  extra  large  at  this  time, 
but  as  soon  as  the  blooms  arrive  they 
open   completely,  and   consequently  the 
sales   are   not    so  good.     Francis   Scott 
Key  is  one  of  the  best  sellers.    Ophelia 
and  Double  White  Killarney  move  fairly 
well,  but  prices  are  low  on  all  stock. 

There  is  a  mammoth  supply  of  sweet 
peas  in  all  shades,  but  the  stock  does 
not  move  fast.  Bachelor's  buttons  and 
calendulas  are  popular  at  this  time  for 
window  decorations.  There  are  many 
Easter  lilies,  but  there  is  little  demand 
for  them.  Rubrum  lilies  have  made 
their  first  appearance,  but  they  are  soft 
and  practically  unsalable.  Achillea  and 
gypsophila  are  used  largely  in  baskets. 
Early  Market  asters  in  pink,  white  and 
lavender  are  making  their  first  appear- 
ance this  week.  Outdoor  gladioli  are 
coming  in  well  now,  but  chiefly  in  the 
red  shades.  Candytuft,  Shasta  daisies, 
gaillardias  and  coreopsis  are  in  large 
supply.  The  receipts  of  greens  are  large. 
Most"  of  the  fern  leaves  are  being 
brought   in   from   local   points. 

Various  Notes. 
The    vacation    season    is    well    under

and  ocean  breezes.    Mrs.  K.  Owen  is  at

The  Market. 

"We  have  experienced  the  hottest  and 
most  enervating  weather  of  the  year, 
and  this  has  made  business  quiet.  The 
quality  of  indoor  flow^ers  has  deteriorat- 
ed and  the  supply  has  shortened.  A  fair 
number  of  American  Beauties  arrive, 
but  the  call  for  them  is  meager.  The 
ordinary  Killarneys  now  are  poor  and 
hardly  salable,  but  the  double  white 
sport,  Ophelia,  Stanley,  Miller  and  Kai- 
serin  still  are  quite  good  and  are  realiz- 
ing fair  prices.  The  intense  heat  is  fin- 
ishing the  carnations,  which  now  are 
small  and  in  many  cases  spidery.  Most 
of  the  carnation  specialists  have 
stopped  sending  flowers,  being  busy  re- 
planting. Asters  are  somewhat  more 
plentiful,  but  do  not  sell  with  their  ac- 
customed snap  early  in  the  season. 
Local  outdoor  gladioli  are  not  yet  seen 
except  in  small  lots,  but  good  flowers 
from  the  south  are  arriving. 

Sweet  peas  are  becoming  short- 
stemmed  on  account  of  the  long  drought, 
but  the  flowers  are  clean  and  move  quite 
well.  Lilium  giganteum  is  still  far  too 
abundant.  There  are  supplies  of  spe- 
ciosum  album  and  rubrum,  auratum  and 
regale  coming  in.  Sweet  sultans  are 
rather  popular;  bachelor's  buttons  quite 
the  reverse.  Valley  continues  scarce 
and  high.  Cattleyas  are  somewhat  more 
])lentiful.  Miscellaneous  flowers  in- 
clude helichrysums,  cosmos,  salpiglossis, 
globe  amaranths,  rudbeckias  and  Golden 
(ilow  mums.  No  one  wants  mums,  how- 
over,  at  this  season.  Gypsophila  is,  in 
large  measure,  taking  tlie  place  of  as 
paragus  now. 

Gardeners'  and  Florists'  Picnic. 

The  annual  picnic  of  the  Gardeners' 
and  Florists'  Club,  which  was  held  at 
Cunningham  park.  East  Milton,  July  25, 
proved  to  be  the  most  successful  outing 
in  all  respects  and  was  the  most  largely 
attended  affair  in  the  club 's  history. 
Weather  conditions  were  perfect,  there 
being  a  cloudless  sky,  with  the  tem- 
perature moderate.  A  large  number  ar- 
rived at  the  picnic  grounds  as  early  as 
10  o'clock  and  nearly  all  stayed  until 
the  prizes  had  been  distributed,  at  6 
p.  m. 

Great  interest  centered  in  the  base-

ball  and  football  games.  The  commer- 
cial baseball  nine,  captained  by  George 
B.  Palmer,  defeated  the  private  garden- 
ers'  team  with  comparative  ease,  but 
the  latter,  vs^ith  their  superior  weight, 
brawn  and  muscle,  made  short  work  of 
their  opponents  when  it  came  to  the 
grilling  tug  of  war,  the  last  event  on  the 
day's  program.  The  married  ladies  did 
not  show  their  usual  prowess  in  the 
baseball  match  and  were  rather  easily 
defeated  by  their  unmarried  sisters. 
Tlie  soccer  football  game  proved  to  be 
a  strenuous  one.  J.  H.  Ness  put  through 
both  goals  for  Captain  Miller's  team. 
The  children's  races  were  heavily  con- 
tested, there  being  from  twenty-two  to 
twenty-six  entries  in  some  of  the 
classes. 

The  club  provided  sandwiches,  bever- 
ages, ice  cream  and  boxes  of  chocolates. 
Most  of  the  married  members  brought 
their  ovra  lunches  and  there  seemed  to 
be  an  abundance  for  everyone.  Prizes 
were  presented  by  James  Methvcn  at 
the  conclusion  of  the  sports,  which 
everyone  voted  to  be  a  most  delightful 
occasion.  Members  and  friends  were 
present  from  Pennsylvania,  Providence,

be  doe  to  defective  wiring;  the  estimat- 
ed damages  are  $10,000, 

Mann  Bros.,  of  Eandolph,  grow  a 
large  variety  of  summer  flowers  and 
their  stand  at  the  Exchange  is  always 
attractive.  At  present  they  have  fine 
batches  of  Lilium  speciosum  album  and 
melpomene,  rudbeckias,  cosmos,  heli- 
chrysums,  asters,  salpiglossis,  globe 
amaranths,  candytuft  and  gladioli. 

The  Welch  Bros.  Co.  reports  business 
about  as  usual.  They  have  been  receiv- 
ing Golden  Glow  mums  for  over  three 
weeks  from  one  of  their  growers,  but 
few  will  buy  them  at  this  season.  Gla- 
dioli of  exceptional  quality  are  arriv- 
ing, while  sweet  peas,  roses  and  asters 
all  are  good. 

A.  A.  Pembroke,  of  North  Beverly, 
shipped  in  his  last  carnations  of  the  sea- 
son July  28  and  George  Gordon,  who 
handles  his  flowers,  will  now  be  out  of 
the  market  until  fall.  Mr.  Pembroke 
will  plant  charily  of  novelties,  relying 
largely  on  such  varieties  as  Matchless, 
Benora,  Alice,  Pink  Delight  and  a  few 
others  of  proven  excellence. 

Patrick  Welch  has  handled  a  large 
quantity  of  Farquhar's  Lilium  regale  of 
late  and  still  is  receiving  shipments  of 
this  beautiful  summer  lily.  Quite  a  num- 
ber have  been  shipped  long  distances. 
He  also  has  a  fine  lot  of  speciosum  lilies, 
asters,  gladioli,  roses  and  sweet  peas. 

The  draft  is  affecting  the  majority  of 
the  growers,  both  on  commercial  estab- 
lishments and  on  private  estates.  It  is 
causing  a  still  greater  shortage  of  green- 
house assistants.  A  great  many  of  the 
latter  enlisted  prior  to  the  draft.  This 
shortage  will  be  relieved  in  some  meas- 
ure by  the  closing  of  numbers  of  private 
greenhouses  and  curtailment  on  others, 
which  is  reaching  quite  serious  propor- 
tions in  Massachusetts.  The  coal  situa- 
tion is  responsible  for  the  majority  of 
the  shut-downs. 

Henry  W.  Vose,  of  Hyde  Park,  is 
shipping  in  splendid  lots  of  giganteum 
lilies  and  asters.  Whatever  Mr.  Vose 
takes  in  hand  he  does  well. 

George  W.  Hamer,  the  genial  and  pop- 
ular assistant  manager  of  the  Flower 
Exchange,  left  July  28  for  a  fortnight's 
vacation  on  the  North  Shore. 

The  management  of  the  Montrose 
Greenhouses  has  increased  its  planting 
of  Stanley  roses  for  next  season,  but  is 
not  trying  any  novelties.    At  present  a

nice  lot  of  Killarney,  White  Killarney, 
Stanley  and  Black  Beauty,  locally  called 
Crimson  Queen,  are  being  cut. 

The  usual  fishing  trip  in  Boston  har- 
bor by  the  growers  and  salesmen  of  the 
wholesale  markets  will  not  be  held  this 
year  because  of  the  war  restrictions  of 
the  government.  A  trip  to  some  inland 
lake  or  river  may  be  arranged  later. 

David  Welch  thinks  he  will  spend  his 
vacation  at  home  this  year  and  may 
have  to  forgo  his  annual  exploits  as  a 
cavalryman.  Business  with  D,  &  E.  J. 
Welch  is  down  to  the  midsummer  basis. 

The  annual  phlox  and  gladiolus  show 
will  be  held  at  Horticultural  hall  Au- 
gust 11  and  12.  There  are  fifteen  classes 
allotted  to  gladioli,  with  prizes  ranging 
from  $40  downward. 

At  the  establishment  of  K.  &  J.  Far- 
quhar  &  Co.  summer  sales  of  vegetable 
seeds  are  good,  with  many  lines  sold 
out.  There  is  a  large  call  for  cabbage, 
celery,  strawberry  and  other  plants  and 
a  great  call  for  sprayers  and  insecti- 
cides. Aphis  has  attacked  potatoes  and 
other  root  crops,  in  addition  to  trees  and 
shrubs. 

Little  S.  A.  F.  convention  talk  is 
heard  here  as  yet,  but  there  will  be  a 
fair  attendance  at  New  York  from  here, 
the  water  route  being  the  one  most  fa- 
vored. 

At  the  Park  street  store  of  Thomas 
Galvin,  Inc.,  the  July  business  has  been 
quite  good.  A  number  of  the  staff  are 
away  on  vacations,  but  funeral  and 
other  work  has  kept  those  at  home  busy. 
Window  decorations  now  are  mainly 
ferns,  palms,  aquatics  and  hardy  herba- 
ceous plants. 

Carbone  at  this  season  uses  lilies,  lark- 
spurs and  aquatics  mainly  in  the  win- 
dows, the  stock  being  arranged  lightly 
and  gracefully.  This  store  is  doing  a 
large  business  in  garden  furniture  and

The  Market. 


Business  last  week  was  dull  and  al- 
though the  supply  of  cut  flowers  was 
comparatively  small,  it  did  not  clean 
up.  Asters  and  roses  were  in  greatest 
demand.  Gladioli  are  in  heavy  supply, 
but  the  choice  flowers  bring  $6  per  hun- 
dred. America  and  Augusta  are  the 
best  sellers,  while  many  of  the  Mrs. 
Francis  King  variety  are  dumped  for 
want  of  demand.  Local  carnations  are 
small  and  have  short  stems.  The  best 
stock  is  shipped  in. 

There  was  a  shortage  of  valley  and 
orchids.  While  the  demand  for  these 
two  items  is  not  large,  it  is  steady. 
There  is  a  large  supply  of  outdoor  stock 
coming,  the  recent  rains  having  had  a 
good  effect  on  it.  All  kinds  of  greens, 
especially  smilax  and  asparagus,  are  in 
demand. 

The  Club  Picnic. 

The  twenty-fourth  annual  picnic  of 
the  St.  Louis  Florists'  Club  was  held  at 
Eamona  park  July  26,  and  it  was  by 
far  the  most  successful  in  the  history 
of  the  club.  Nearly  800  florists,  their 
families  and  friends  attended*  Mr,  J. 
Pluvius  tried  several  times  to  put  a 
damper  on  the  festivities,  but  Old  Sol 
won  out  and  the  day  was  almost  per- 
fect. 

One  of  the  principal  events  of  the  day 
was  an  automobile  parade,  which  pre-

ceded  the  picnic.  It  started  from  the 
wholesale  district  at  noon  and  forty 
elaborately  decorated  machines  were  in 
the  line,  which  was  headed  by  President 
Jules  Bourdet.  The  route  led  through 
the  principal  business  streets  to  the 
park.  Everything  was  in  readiness  for 
the  picnickers  when   they  arrived. 

Entries  were  numerous  in  the  ten 
athletic  events  and  some  of  them  were 
run  off  in  heats.  This  was  especially  so 
in  the  contests  for  women  and  girls. 
The    results    follow: 

Novelty   r.ace— O.   K.   Sanders,   first. 

Fifty-yard  dash  for  boys — Louis  Weinberg, 
first;  G.  Cerny,  second. 

NlgRer  baby  contest  for  boys  under  12  years — 
D.   Dasey,   first;   D.    Wells,   second. 

Flags  of  all  nations  for  girls  under  12  years — 
Miss  VVelsser,  first  with  American  flag;  Marge 
Wors,   second  with   Belgian   flag. 

Rail  throwing  contest  for  girls — Miss  Chadaey, 
first;    Violet   Furber,    second. 

The  tug  of  war  between  the  growers 
and  retailers  resulted  in  a  technical 
draw,  although  the  growers,  captained 
by  W.  J.  Pilcher,  won.  Courit  von  Hoff- 
man, who  led  the  retailers,  protested  the 
results  on  the  ground  that  the  growers 
added  two  men  to  their  team  while  the 
contest  was  in  progress.  The  protest 
was  allowed  and  the  cigars  divided  be- 
tween the  two  teams. 

There  also  were  races  for  single  wom- 
en and  for  married  women,  but  the 
modest  correspondent  looked  away  and 
did  not  see  who  won. 

The  most  exciting  event  of  the  day 
was  the  ball  game  between  the  whole- 
salers and  retailers,  the  former  led  by 
Otto  Bruenig  and  the  latter  by  Count 
von  Hoffman.  Frank  Gorly  was  the 
umpire.  Mr.  Gorly  had,  perhaps,  more 
excitement  out  of  the  game  than  any- 
one else,  as  he  nearly  lost  his  fancy  shirt 
through  having  it  pulled  by  excited 
players  of  both  sides  during  arguments  I

over  his  decisions.  The  final  score  was 
15  to  14  in  favor  of  the  retailers. 

Dinner  was  served  following  the  ball 
game  and  during  the  evening  there  was 
dancing  to  the  music  of  Arthur  Beyer's 
orchestra.  *The  outing  was  arranged  by 
the  trustees  of  the  club,  J.  J.  Windier, 
W.  W.  Ohlweiler  and  W.  A.  Eowe.  The 
parade  was  in  charge  of  the  club's  pub- 
licity committee,  of  which  W.  C.  Smith 
is  the  chairman. 

Among  those  who  had  automobiles  in 
the  parade  were  the  Bourdet  Floral  Co.,

the  S.  A.  F.  and  his  membership  com- 
mittee made  hay  while  the  sun  shono 
and  displayed  a  number  of  applications 
for  membership  in  the  S.  A.  F.  Several 
new  members  also  were  secured  for  the 
club.  ^ 

Charles  Wors,  as  usual,  presided  over 
the  attendance  guessing  table.  The 
prize  was  won  by  Thomas  Kirkwood,  Jr., 
whose  guess  was  777. 

President  W.  A.  Eowe  and  Secretary 
Joseph  Deutschmann,  of  the  County 
Growers'  Association,  brought  their 
families  and  said  that  they  had  an  en- 
joyable day.  The  association  was  well 
represented. 

Fred  Foster  came  alone.  He  in- 
formed questioners  that  his  two  sons 
have  entered  the  service  of  their  coun- 
try, one  in  the  marine  corps  and  the 
other  in  the  navy. 

George  Madsen,  of  Alton;  G.  "W.  Gros- 
sart  and  Henry  Emunds,  of  Belleville, 
and  Edwin  Denker,  of  St.  Charles,  were 
among  the  visitors  from  out  of  town. 

George  Waldbart  and  his  whole  force 
of  employees  were  among  the  first  to 
reach  the  picnic  grounds. 

Fred  Grossart,  a  former  member  of 
the  club  and  now  a  resident  of  Omaha, 
Neb.,  and  Allen  Humason,  representing 
the  Raedlein  Basket  Co.,  Chicago,  were 
there  and  said  they  were  glad  of  it.

rorester  Julius  Koenig. 

Henry  Emunds,  of  Belleville,  HI.,  has 
a  big  field  of  yellow  cannas,  known  as 
Queen  Helen,  in  fine  shape.  The  entire 
crop  has  been  sold  to  a  Chicago  firm. 

Eay  Young,  son  of  Henry  Young,  and 
Andre  Baurdet,  son  of  Jules    Bourdet, 
are    members    of    the     Fifth   regiment,'

Fred  W.  Ude,  Jr.,  of  Kirkwood,  has 
rebuilt  one  of  his  houses  this  summer. 
He  has  several  houses  of  fine  young 
chrysanthemum  stock. 

A  visit  to  the  establishment  of  John 
Steidle  and  that  of  his  son  Charles, 
across  the  way  at  Olivette,  Mo.,  dis- 
closed that  their  stock  is  in  excellent 
shape  for  next  season.  Boses  in  all  va- 
rieties are  grown  here  and  the  young 
stock  gives  promise  of  producing  a  large 
crop.  The  output  will  be  marketed  by 
Henry  G.  Berning. 

The  Young  Bros.  Floral  Co.  is  making

building  is  expected  to  be  ready  within 
two  weeks. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  County  Grow- 
ers' Association  August  1,  it  -was  to

Wichita,  Kan. — Charles  P.  Mueller, 
state  vice-president  of  the  S.  A.  F., 
has  sent  a  circular  letter  to  the  florists

Kansas  has  only  six  representatives  in 
the  S.  A.  F.  and  calls  on  the  nearly  200 
florists  in  the  state  to  send  in  their  ap- 
plications.

Secretary-Treasurer,  C.  B.  Kendel,  Cleveland,  O. 


Word  has  been  received  that  French 
bulbs  are  afloat. 

The  weather  to  date  continues  favor- 
able for  the  Chicago  onion  set  crop. 

The  Leonard  Seed  Co.,  Chicago,  re- 
ports a  heavy  demand  for  turnip  seed. 

Excavation  work  has  been  completed 
by  the  John  A.  Salzer  Seed  Co.,  La 
Crosse,  Wis.,  for  a  4-story  brick  and  con- 
crete building,  63x163  feet.  When  com- 
pleted the  building  will  be  used  for  the 
company's  office  and  mailing  room. 

Charles  Dickinson,  of  the  Albert 
Dickinson  Co.,  Chicago,  is  president  of 
the  Aero  Club  of  Illinois,  and  is  devoting 
a  large  part  of  his  time  to  the  affairs  of 
the  two  airdromes  the  government  has 
established  in  his  state  for  the  training  of 
army  aviators. 

The  trade  is  issuing  its  summer  cata- 
logues of  fall  bulbs,  later  than  usual  but 
in  much  the  same  form  as  heretofore,  indi- 
cating general  confidence  that  imports  will 
come.  Prices  quoted  are  high,  especially 
on  French  bulbs,  some  of  the  books  omit- 
ting figures  on  Paper  Whites. 

The  Leonard  Seed  Co.,  Chicago,  is 
erecting  a  new  warehouse  for  onion  sets 
at  Des  Plaines,  111.  The  building  will  be 
entirely  of  tile  and  concrete,  absolutely 
fireproof,  and  will  have  a  capacity  of 
about  75,000  bushels.  John  C.  Leonard 
is  on  a  western  trip,  inspecting  crops. 

Chicago  seedsmen  were  visited  last 
week  by  C.  Herbert  Coy,  president  of  the 
Coy  Seed  Co.,  Valley,  Neb.,  who,  accom- 
panied by  members  of  his  family,  is 
going  by  easy  stages  to  New  York  in 
his  Moline-Knight.  Mr.  Coy  says  that 
so  far  the  crops  in  his  state  are  doing 
well. 

Sluis  &  Groot,  Enkhuizen,  Holland, 
July  3  celebrated  the  fiftieth  anniversary 
of  the  business.  Both  founders,  N.  Sluis 
and  N.  Groot,  respectively  83  years  and 
73  years  of  age,  still  enjoy  excellent 
health  and  are  active.  The  fathers  and 
grandfathers  of  both  these  gentlemen 
occupied  themselves  in  seed  growing,  and 
the  vegetable  and  flower  seeds  of  the  firm 
now  are  sent  to  all  parts  of  the  world. 

The  nation-wide  campaign  for  gardens 
has  made  for  a  tremendous  lot  of  early 
green  vegetables,  as  the  weather  has  been 
favorable  and  amateurs  have  been  suc- 
cessful. This  was  strongly  felt  by  the 
truck  grower  for  a  while,  but  the  market 
now  is  picking  up  rapidly  and  there  un- 
doubtedly will  be  a  strong  fall  market. 
The  success  of  home  gardens  this  year 
will  undoubtedly  tend  toward  stimulat- 
ing efforts  in  the  future. 

More  than  $100,000  and  stock  in  the 
L.  Teweles  Seed  Co.  are  bequeathed  to 
six  children  under  the  terms  of  the  will 
of  Ludwig  Tewelos,  tlie  veteran  seeds- 
man of  Milwaukee,  who  died  last  month 
of  heart  failure.  The  widow,  Mrs.  Hari- 
ette  Teweles,  receives  $40,000,  while  nu- 
merous relatives  are  remembered  to  the 
extent  of  from  $500  to  $1,000  each.  The 
business  becomes  the  property  of  the 
five  sons,  Hugo,  Arthur,  Max,  Oscar  and 
Edwin  Teweles.

American  growers  of  aster  seeds  are 
justified  in  putting  out  a  capacity  acreage 
this  year.  With  the  German  seed  out  of 
the  market  the  demand  for  home-grown 
seed  will  be  greatly  increased. 


A  BANNER  SEED  SEASON? 


Field's  Figures  Say  Yes! 

The  government  estimates  that  there 
are  $350,000,000  worth  of  home  gardens 
in  the  United  States  this  summer — a 
wealth  which  seedsmen  say  represents 
the  aftermath  of  the  greatest  spring 
business  ever  done  by  their  trade. 
Never  before  has  an  industry  been 
boomed  by  a  fad  or  propaganda  of  such 
proportions  as  that  w^hich  took  the 
seedsmen  by  storm  last  spring,  when  the 
government,  the  papers,  in  fact,  every- 
body, exhorted  the  people  to  plant  each 
plot  and  lot  to  vegetables. 

In  some  cases,  of  course,  the  dealer's 
greater  prosperity  was  cut  short  by  an 
early  exhaustion  of  seed  supplies,  and 
because  of  ineflScient  methods  of  dis- 
tribution or  unfavorable  weather  condi- 
tions others  suffered;  but  it  is  believed, 
nevertheless,  that  the  spring  business 
of  1917  was  greatly  in  excess  of  that  of 
any  other  spring. 

Eeports  from  many  quarters  inform 
that  this  drive  for  increased  vegetable 
production  hacked  off  a  big  fraction  of 
the  usual  flower  seed  business;  but 
others  say  the  initiation  of  vast  numbers 
of  people  into  amateur  gardening  car- 
ried with  it  a  demand  for  flower  seeds 
that  offset,  or  will  offset  in  later  years, 
this  factor.  A  keen  observer  suggested 
that  if  the  home  gardener  did  not  have 
flowers,  in  the  fall  the  florist  would  be 
required  to  supply  him,  thus  indirectly 
increasing  the  florists'  requirements  for 
seeds  of  annuals,  perennials,  etc. 

There'll  Be  Vacations  at  Field's. 

As  indicative  of  its  banner  year,  the 
Henry  Field  Seed  Co.,  of  Shenandoah,

and  probably  less  than  any  other  big 
seed  house  in  the  country. 

"Of  'course,  we  made  a  good,  fair 
profit  out  of  the  year's  business.  We  do 
every  year.  Nothing  startling,  but 
enough  so  we  can  all  live  pleasantly  and 
comfortably  and  decently,  and  that  is 
enough  for  anyone.  It  takes  lots  of 
the  money  wc  get  to  pay  postage  and 
pay  roll  and  war  taxes  and  all  the  rest 
of  it. 

"One  thing,  we  believe  in  the  help 
getting  their  share.  We  get  good  help, 
pay  good  wages  and  try  to  keep  them 
happy.  We  gave  them  all  a  raise  of 
about  ten  to  fifteen  per  cent  July  1, 
put  in  free  life  insurance  for  everyone 
working  for  us  and  gave  them  a  share  of 
the  year's  profits  again — what  we  call  a 
'labor  dividend.'  " 


OPAQXJE  SEED  PACKETS. 

In  the  report  of  the  committee  on 
postal  laws  presented  at  the  recent  De- 
troit convention  attention  was  drawn 
to  a  matter  many  seedsmen  have  over- 
looked.    The  committee  said: 

"H.  M.  Earl  was  instrumental, 
through  the  Pennsylvania  congressmen 
and  senators,  in  the  rescinding  of  the 
post-ofiice  order  covering  the  use  of 
transparent  bags,  with  the  jesult  that 
this  order  was  canceled,  and  we  are  now 
able  to  use  bags  of  any  color  or  any 
degree  of  opacity  that  we  may  choose. 
This  is  a  valuable  decision,  as  many  of 
us  found  it  a  real  hardship  to  be  com- 
pelled to  use  a  bag  that  met  the  re- 
quirements of  the  Post-office  Depart- 
ment as  to  transparency." 


THE   BRITISH  SEED  SITUATION. 

In  view  of  the  close  alliance  between 
England  and  the  United  States  and  the 
probability  that  the  problems  of  tlie 
trade  in  England  may  soon  be  the  prol)- 
lems  of  the  trade  in  America,  the  fol- 
lowing from  a  British  trade  paper  will 
be  of  interest  here.  It  is  a  statement 
of  the  attitude  of  the  British  <,r()\orn- 
ment  toward  the  seed   trade: 

"The  government  realizes  that  there 
will  probably  be  a  serious  shortage 
of  seeds  next  season,  and  more  especial- 
ly of  those  seeds  upon  which  we  depend 
for  food. 

"The  authorities  do  not  propose  to 
take  control  over  the  seed  trade,  as 
has  been  done  in  the  case  of  some  indus- 
tries, as  it  is  realized  that  the  seed  in- 
dustry is  too  complicated  and  rof|uires 
too  much  special  knowledge  to  be  tack- 
led by  any  politician,  or  in  fact  any- 
one who  has  not  had  a  life  experience 
in  it.  The  board  proposes  to  intervene 
in  two  ways,  viz.,  by  assisting  seedsmen 
to  obtain  their  supplies  more  expedi- 
tiously, and,  secondly,  by  checking 
waste. 

"With  regard  to  the  first,  the  Horti- 
cultural Trades'  Association  has  already 
approached  the  board,  pointing  out  that 
shipments  of  seed  from  America  were 
last  season  delayed  as  much  as  tiiree 
months,  arriving  in  some  cases  ;ifter  th« 
sowing  season  was  over.  The  same 
thing  happened  with  consignmo!its  from 
Italy  and  other  places.  The  government 
is  now  prepared  to  act  in  tiiis  matter 
and  to  intervene  to  secure  shipping  fa- 
cilities and  more  prompt  delivery.  The 
shortage  is,  of  course,  more  or  less 
world-wide,  but  it  will  ease  the  situa- 
tion considerably  if  what  surpluses  do 
exist  can  be  promptly  moved  to  those 
places  where  the  deficiency  is  greatest.

5  with  some  of  the  thrills  of  "playing  the  ponies"  or  "hitting"  the  stock  E 

S  market,  and  without  the  same  chance  of  going  broke  in  the  game.  E 

I                        THIS  MIGHT  BE  CALLED  A  100  TO  1  SHOT  = 

E             We  have  grown  a  small  quantity  of    cross-bred    Antirrhinum  seed,  E 

=  from  the  best  greenhouse  varieties  in  existence.    This  seed  will  certainly  E 

E  produce  some  winners,  as  the  cross-pollenization  was  done  by  one  of  our  E 

E  best  artists.     We  are  going  to  sow  a  generous  lot  of  it  ourselves  and  we  S 

S  would  use  every  seed,  if  we  had  the  room.    The  man  who  can  not  get  E 

E  $10.00  worth  of  pleasure  in  watching  these  choice  new  hybrids  as  they  E 

E  bloom  for  the  first  time,  must  be  troubled  with  an  in-growing  grouch,  and  = 

=  —well,  be  is  not  in  our  class,  that's  all.  We  have  ajbrt  of  a  hunch  that  E 

=  from  this  lot  of  seed  will  cdltne  that  one  bcit.  snapi^lpigoii  that  the  world  E 

E  is  waiting  for.    Will  you  be  the  lucky  one  to''reiiSe  it?  S 

n               One  seedling  that  pleased  you  and  suited  your  special  trade  would  be  wOrth  $100.00  E 

S  to  you,  and  it  would  be  exclusively  .vours.  And  then,  there  is  always  the  chance  of  pro-  ~ 

~  ducing  a  pre  eminent  rip-snorter  of  a  snapdragon,  that  would  be  worth  much  more.   In  s 

S  any  case,  seed  sown  this  autumn  will  give  you  a  bench  of  flowers,  every  one  of  which  s 

^  will  be  salable.  You  can't  lose.  ~ 

E                          THE  PRICE  IS  $1.00  PER  TRADE  PACKET  | 

S              To  clinch  the  bargain,  we  will  include  a  package  af  seed  of  NELROSE,  the  best  Antirrhinum  yet  E 

S              introduced,  and  alitor  a  dollar  bill.    Seed  ready  now,  but  quantity  limited.  Better  get  a  move  on.  ^

orders  for  .seeds  to  \w  grown  ai)road  on 
contract,  as  many  grievous  cases  oc- 
curred last  season,  where  after  making 
all  arrangements,  the  wholesale  trade 
were  unable  to  get  delivery  of  the 
goods,  and  execute  orders  which  had 
been  taken  on  the  strength  of  the  '.0)1- 
tract. 

"Then  as  to  waste:  Everyone  in  the 
trade  knows  that  even  the  professional 
gardener  usually  buys  and  sows  at  least 
double  as  much  seed  as  is  really  neces 
sary.  As  a  remedy,  the  board  proposes 
to  start  to  educate  the  public  to  plant 
fewer  seeds.  In  spite  of  the  fact  that 
it  may  at  first  sight  seem  somewhat 
against  their  own  interests,  the  govern- 
ment expects  great  assistance  from  the 
seed  trade  in  this  matter.  It  is  ques- 
tionable whether  waste  really  benefits 
any   trade   in   the  long  run."

LANCASTER,  PA. 

The  Lancaster  Florists'  Club  held  its 
,luly  meeting  as  guests  of  C.  M.  Weaver' 
and  Elmer  J.  Weaver,  near  Eonks  sta- 
tion. Thirty  florists  went  to  see  the 
Weaver  aster  planting,  which  consists 
of  90,000  plants.  Many  thousands  of 
blooms  have  already  been  cut  and  have 
brought  prices  that  were  worth  while. 
The  Weavers  have  grown  asters  for 
many  years,  never  replanting  on  the 
same  field  until  seven  years  have 
elapsed.  They  save  their  own  seed,  and 
have  something  to  show  for  it,  a  su- 
perior strain  of  blooms.  Vick's  Laven- 
der Pink  is  being  tried,  and  the  visitors 
were  pleased  with  its  lovely  tint  and 
large  blooms. 

Charles  M.  has  a  house  of  peas  50x400, 
in  which  the  plants  now  are  three  inches 
in  height.  Many  pompon  mums  are  be- 
ing grown  in  connection  with  sweet 
peas  and  are  in  fine  condition.  On  his 
home  grounds  he  has  many  tuberous- 
rooted  begonias,  a  collection  not  sur- 
passed in  this  part  of  the  country.  His 
beds  of  the  newer  cannas  are  superb. 

After  passing  around  cigars  we  in- 
spected the  houses  of  Elmer  J.,  where 
quantities  of  tomatoes  have  been  a 
feature  for  some  time,  the  best  ones 
going  to  the  Boston  market  and  the  sec- 
onds disposed  of  locally,  also  at  ex- 
tremely good  figures.  A  new  house 
62x400  will  be  planted  to  carnations, 
the  stock  in  the  field  being  in  good 
condition. 

Eeturning  to  the  Weaver  home,  the 
meeting  was  called  to  order  by  Presi- 
dent Schroyer.  Those  of  the  members 
who  attended  the  Beading  florists' 
picnic  spoke  in  glowing  terms  of  the 
royal  time  shown  them.  On  motion  of 
M.  J.  Brinton,  the  club  voiced  a  pro- 
test against  the  announced  intention  of 
the  express  companies  to  place  an  em- 
bargo on  shipments  of  flowers  at  cer- 
tain seasons  of  the  year;  also  that  of 
overruling  the  rule  calling  for  delivery 
of  flowers  in  twenty-four  hours  after 
receipt. 

B.  F.  Barr  invited  the  florists  to 
meet  in  August  at  his  home  and  the  in- 
vitation was  accepted  with  thanks. 
Harry  G.  Haverstick,  formerly  with  M. 
S.  Hershey,  of  Hershey,  Pa.,  but  now 
with  B.  F.  Barr  &  Co.,  was  elected  a 
member  of  the  club.

New  Early-flowering,  or  Winter  Blooming 

An  entirely  new  and  distinct  strain  of  Pansies  The  main  advantage  of  these 
new  Pansies  over  all  hitherto  existing  Pansies  Is  the  extreme  earllness  of  flowering. 
Sown  at  the  same  time  as  other  Pansies,  they  begin  flowering  the  early  part  of  Marcn 
or  as  soon  as  the  snow  is  oft  the  ground,  many  times  having  four  or  Ave  large  flowers 
to  a  plant,  when  all  other  Pansies  are  only  showing  buds.  The  flowers  are  large,  well 
formed  and  fragrant.

dark  eye.

blotched  and  frilled  like  the  Masterpiece,  of  good  form  and  heavy  velvety  tex- 
ture on  heavy  stem  carried  well  above  the  foliage.  Attractive  by  brilliancy 
of  its  colors. 

40.  GIANT  BATH'S  EMPRESS.  The  finest  of  fancy  English  Pansies.  Flowers  are 
very  large,  mostly  frilled  and  blotched  and  of  great  substance  and  the  colors

with  shades  of  red,  brown,  bronze,  mahogany  and  many  others  too 
numerous  to  mention.     Light,  Medium  or  Dark  Mixtures. 

24.  GIANT  KENILWORTH  SHOW.  An  extra  fine  strain  Of  large  flowers; 
the  immense  flowers  are  of  circular  form  and  great  substance.  A 
beautiful  collection  of  colors  and  markings. 

26.  GIANT  KENILWORTH  CUT  FLOWER  MIXTURE.  Is  a  distinct  class 
by  itself,  surpassing  all  other  strains  as  a  cut  flower  for  inside  or 
outside  growing;  the  large  flowers  are  carried  erect  above  the 
foliage  on  heavy  stems,  7  or  8  in.  loni?.  In  the  most  graceful  man- 
ner, and  stand  the  hot,  dry  weather  well. 

28.  GIANT  MASTERPIECE.  A  remarkable  type;  the  curled,  wavy  petals 
giving  the  flower  a  double  appearance;  large  flowers  of  great  sub- 
stance, on  long,  strong  stem. 

80.  GIANT  THREE  AND  I<TVE  BLOTCHED  PANSIES.  A  superb  mix- 
ture. Flowers  large  and  of  circular  form  and  of  great  substance. 
The  display  of  coloring  is  unsurpassed.  A  combination  of  almost 
every  shade  of  rich,  velvety  colors;  reds  are  particularly  conspicu- 
ous; the  petals  being  distinctly  marked  with  three  or  flve  large, 
dark  blotches. 

82.  GIANT  PARISIAN.  The  flowers  are  of  enormous  size  and  beautifully

bronze,  Havana  brown,  mahogany  and  copper  shades. 

80.  TRIUMPH  OF  GIANT.  Remarkably  beautiful.  The  imposing  flve- 
spotted  flowers  on  long,  vigorous  stalks  surmount  the  foliage  in  the 
most  graceful  manner,  are  of  enormous  size,  perfectly  round  and 
of  unusual  substance.  The  individual  petals  are  very  broad  and 
cover  each  other  In  such  a  manner  as  to  make  the  flowers  appear 
almost  double,  the  border  of  every  petal  being  conspicuously  curled. 
The  plants  are  of  a  robust  growth  and  form  compact  bushes  of  a 
round  shape. 

70.  ORCHID-FLOWERED,  Mixed.  A  dwarf, 
free  bloomer,  with  a  range  of  delicate 
colors  that  do  not  exist  in  any  other 
Pansies;  a  remarkable  combination  of 
light  rose,  shell  pink,  blush  mauve, 
fawn,  light  brown,  orange  and  chamois.

Long  Beach,  Cal. — H.  N.  Lowe,  of 
Lowe's  Flower  Shop,  220  West  Ocean 
avenue,  says  business  has  been  quite 
good  this  summer,  although  it  largely  is 
funeral  work.  There  has  been,  however, 
an  increased  call  for  corsage  bouquets. 
Ophelia  and  Eussell  roses  are  the  popu- 
lar greenhouse  flowers  of  the  season, 
but  zinnias,  dahlias  and  asters  are  fine 
and  sell  well.  Amaryllis  Belladonna 
soon  will  be  available  in  quantities  and 
is  a  popular  flower  here. 


LOS  ANGELES,  CAL. 


The  Market. 

Cut  flowers  still  are  scarce,  the  sup- 
ply not  equaling  the  demand  in  carna- 
tions, roses,  valley,  orchids  and  asters. 
Gladioli  continue  plentiful  and  the  flow- 
ers are  good.  Tlie  same  can  be  said  of 
centaureas  and  rose-pink  .tftsters:  The 
lighter  shades  of  asters  are  scarce  and 
of  poor  quality.  Dahlias  are  making 
their  appearance  in  the  market  and 
seem  to  be  meeting  with  favor  among 
the  retail  florists. 

The  warm  weather  that  has  prevailed 
here  for  the  last  month  has  brought  on 
a  fine  growth  of  plumosus,  which  can 
now  be  obtained  in  any  quantity. 

Various  Notes. 

H.  E.  Eichards,  of  S.  Murata  &  Co., 
who  was  operated  on  July  20  at  the 
Clara  Barton  hospital,  is  getting  along 
nicely  and  will  probably  be  up  and 
around  in  a  week  or  ten  days. 

L.  H.  Freeman,  212  West  Fourth 
street,  has  sold  his  retail  store  to  a  Mr. 
Wilson.  Mr.  Wilson  has  a  large  personal 
acquaintance  in  Los  Angeles  and  should 
do  well  in  his  new  undertaking.  We 
understand  that  Mr.  Freeman  is  going 
on  a  large  ranch  at  Tehachapi. 

A.  Beverley,  of  Santa  Barbara,  was  in 
town  last  week  making  purchases  for 
his  Santa  Barbara  nursery. 

Charles  Gutting,  of  the  Superior 
Nursery  Co.,  is  cutting  some  nice  dah- 
lias at  his  dahlia  farm  at  1417  East 
Fifty-ninth  street.  He  has  some  new 
varieties  which  are  prize-winners,  but 
has  not  had  a  large  enough  cut  yet  to 
begin  to  supply  the  demand. 

Mrs.  A.  M.  Wilton,  who  has  so  suc- 
cessfully managed  the  retail  store  of 
C.  H.  KoUe,  El  Paso,  Tex.,  for  the  last 
five  or  six  years,  is  spending  her  sum- 
mer vacation  on  the  coast,  and  is  now 
located  at  the  Northern  hotel.  She  ex- 
pects to  stay  here  for  a  month  or  more. 

H.  N.  Gage  is  cutting  some  fine  gla- 
dioli at  his  new  ranch  at  Baldwin  Park, 

Dr.  C.  H.  Castle,  2943  Walton  avenue, 
has  been  so  successful  with  his  bulbs 
this  year  that  he  is  going  into  the  busi- 
ness on  an  extensive  scale  next  year, 
having  bought  all  the  remaining  stock 
of  the  Leedham  Bulb  Co.,  of  Santa 
Cruz. 

Thomas  Kobata  has  completed  two 
houses  and  has  them  filled  with  carna- 
tions. He  has  already  commenced  to 
cut  from  the  new  stock,  which  is  all 
contracted  to  the  L.  A.  Floral  Co. 

C.  B.  Knickman,  of  McHutchison  & 
Co.,  New  York,  is  in  town  in  the  inter- 
est of  his  firm. 

Mrs.  Bessie  A.   Bease,  of  Grossm<int, 


Cal.,  is  now  able  to  supply  Egyptian 
lotus  in  any  quantity.  A  sample  of 
these  blooms  was  brought  in  today  and 
they  are  the  finest  we  have  ever  seen, 
a  beautiful  shade  of  pink  and  nearly 
ten  inches  across  when  open.         F.  S. 


PORTLAND,   ORE. 


The  Market. 

There  was  a  marked  increase  in  busi- 
ness last  week  and  most  of  the  stock 
that  reached  the  market  was  cleared. 
Eoses  and  carnations  are  scarce,  and 
the  hot  weather  has  about  finished  the 
outdoor  crop  of  sweet  peas.  There  also 
do  not  seem  to  be  the  quantities  of 
gladioli  and  lilies  there  were  in  former 
years.  Asters  are  slow  in  arriving,  but 
most  of  the  other  annuals  are  plentiful. 
No  nin  had  fallen  for  five  weeks,  mak- 
ing BORditions  bad  for  the  growers.  The 
dahlia  producers  say  their  crops  are 
suffering  from  the  continued  drought. 

Various  Notes. 

Martin  &  Forbes  furnished  the  dec- 
orations for  the  Green-Ladd  wedding, 
which  was  the  leading  society  event  of 
last  week. 

The  Floral  Studio  has  been  having 
some  especially  attractive  window  dis- 
plays, featuring  the  different  annuals 
which  this  firm  has  made  popular. 

H.  H.  Beckett,  who  planted  hia 
houses  in  vegetables  this  spring,  says 
that  his  tomatoes  have  yielded  good  re- 
turns. Preceding  this  crop  he  had  his 
houses  filled  with  peas. 

Julius  Broetje  has  a  novel  iWay  of 
shading  the  glass  at  his  range  at  Court- 
ney station.  He  uses  heavy  cheese- 
cloth, six  feet  wide,  on  wooden  rollers, 
which  roll  by  gravity  from  the  center 
of   the    greenhouses.      Wires    guide    the 


rollers,  which   are  immediately  beneath 
the  glass.  W.  G.  W. 


SAN  FRANCISCO. 


The  Market. 


With  the  uncertainty  of  the  draft 
over  and  the  opening  of  the  city  schools, 
local  florists  feel  that  the  demand  for 
cut  flowers  will  increase  during  the 
month  of  August.  Some  improvement 
is  alrea4^  jP^^^^i  indicating  that  the 
quietest 'part  of  the  summer  is  already 
past.  The  demand  last  week  was  more 
or  less  erratic,  but  the  total  volume  of 
business  was  satisfactory,  considering 
the  season  of  the  year.  It  is  gratify- 
ing to  the  trade  that  July  has  been  a 
good  month  in  comparison  with  the  same 
month  of  other  years. 

There  is  a  good  supply  of  flowers.  The 
shipping  business  is  beginning  to  take 
on  new  life  with  the  advent  of  asters, 
auratum  and  rubrum  lilies.  The' asters 
are  hardly  up  to  standard  as  yet,  but 
they  are  improving  rapidly  and  the  east- 
ern movement  will  soon  be  in  full  swing. 
Chrysanthemums  promise  well.  The 
weather  is  all  that  can  be  desired  for 
growing  purposes;  the  buds  are  begin- 
ning to  set  and  from  present  indications 
the  flowers  will  begin  to  arrive  the  lat- 
ter part  of  August. 

Ulrich  Brunner  roses  show  up  better 
than  any  of  the  other  varieties.  The 
blooms  are  plentiful  and  in  excellent  de- 
mand. Carnations  are  scarce  and  poor, 
as  most  of  the  growers  are  changing 
their  plants.  Sweet  peas  are  not  so 
much  in  evidence,  either.  There  is 
plenty  of  seasonable  stock  to  take  their 
place,  however.  Gladioli  continue  to 
flood  the  market  and  dahlias  are  rapidly 
increasing  in  supply,  many  fine  speci- 
mens being  shown.    Zinnias  are  still  fine

In  order  to  provide  better  light  and 
more  room,  the  oflSces  of  the  E.  W.

The  C.  Kooyman  Co.,  Inc.,  is  starting

season.  Messrs.  Kooyman  and  Madvig 
report  a  strong  demand  for  calla  and 
freesia  bulbs.  Miss  Hogan,  the  book- 
keeper, has  returned  from  a  two  weeks' 
vacation  at  Ziegler  springs,  in  Lake 
county. 

Rubrum  lilies  are  demanding  attention 
at  the  Domoto  Bros,  store.  The  men  are 
bringing  in  some  fine  flowers  and  report 
a  ready  market. 

Mr.  Onishi,  of  the  United  Flower  & 
Supply  Co.,  visited  the  chrysanthemum 
fields  down  the  peninsula  last  week  and 
found  the  plants  in  excellent  condition. 
Many  of  the  plants  are  from  three  to 
four  feet  in  height  and  the  buds  are  be- 
ginning to  set  nicely.  Mr.  Onishi  counts 
on  fifty  days  from  the  time  the  buds 
set  till  the  flowers  arc   roadv  to  cut.

A  MAGNIFICENT  LAVENDER  FREESIA 

The  only  commercial  colored  Freesia  in  the  world,  not  to  be  compared  or 
judged  in  the  same  class  with  any  other  colored  Freesia.  It  stands  alone  for 
size,  strength,  beauty  and  fragrance.  The  flowers  are  very  large,  with  long, 
heavy  stems  with  foliage  reaching  well  up  the  stems,  and  are  highly  fragrant. 

It  is  a  Freesia  that  will  stand  the  test  of  time  and  will  be  grown  by  all 
florists  when  stock  can  be  offered  at  commercial  prices.  Was  awarded  a  Cer- 
tificate of  Merit  at  the  Pasadena  Flower  Show. 

Stock  is  limited;  send  in  your  orders  as  soon  as  possible.  Is  offered  in  two  shades  of

METHODS   OF   PROPAGATION. 

[This  is  the  fifth  installment  of  extracts  from 
a  paper  road  by  T.  D.  Hatfield,  of  Wellesley, 
Mass.,  at  a  meeting  of  tlie  Massaeliiisetts  Hor- 
ticultural Society.  The  sixth  will  appear  In  an 
early  issue.] 

Grapevines  are  nearly  always  raised 
from  cuttings  or  layers.  The  youngest 
plant,  being  a  part  of  the  parent,  is  just 
as  old.  It  has  been  on  its  own  roots 
all  the  time.  Varieties  on  their  own 
roots  show  no  constitutional  variation. 
The  Black  Hamburg  grape  is  the  same 
the  world  over,  now  as  ever. 

It  is  not  so  with  grafted  plants.  There 
are  variations  even  in  the  Baldwin  ap- 
ple. Go  to  our  fruit  shows  and  it  will 
be  hard  to  find  two  dishes  of  Baldwin 
apples  that  look  alike.  The  fact  is,  the 
Baldwin  apple  has  sported,  and  to  stand- 
ardize that  or  any  particular  sport  it 
will  have  to  be  fixed  and  the  best  way 
to  do  that  is  to  get  it  on  its  own  roots. 
Propagators  will  use  the  best  form  or 
variety  for  grafting  and  still  get  sports. 
No  reliance  can  be  placed  on  any  as 
long  as  mixed  seedling  apple  stocks  are 
used.  Something  has  been  done  by  root 
grafting  to  get  apples  on  their  own 
roots.  It  does  not  appear,  however, 
that  this  was  what  the  operators  had  in 
view,  but  rather  economy  in  operation. 
It  is  a  cheap  and  easy  way,  but  there  is

a  good  chance  that  scions  will  get  on 
their  own  roots  when  root  grafted. 

Division  of  the  Boots. 

The  division  method  of  propagation 
should  be  easily  comprehended.  It  is 
applied  mostly  to  herbaceous  or  hardy 
border  plants  and  some  greenhouse 
plants.  It  is  best  done  when  the  plants 
are  at  rest.  It  is  also  the  general  prSjC- 
tice  with  ferns,  except  some  tree  ferns, 
in  which  case  one  must  depend  on  spores, 
which  will  be  described  farther  on. 

Propagation  by  Seeds. 

One  does  not  have  to  look  far  for  evi- 
dence of  the  seed  method  in  the  propa- 
gation of  plants.  It  is  to  be  seen  every- 
where. To  reproduce  itself  is  the  last 
expiring  effort  of  all  plant  life.  The 
annual  does  it  in  one  year,  the  biennial 
in  two.  When  an  old  black  spruce  or 
pitch  pine  is  seen  loaded  with  cones  it 
is  getting  ready  to  die.  I  have  known 
peach  trees  make  an  unusual  floral  dis- 
play, set  a  big  crop  of  fruit,  and  die 
before  bringing  it  to  maturity.  It  is 
often  stated  that  peach  trees  are  short- 
lived. The  probability  is  that  they  had 
been  allowed  to  carry  too  much  fruit. 

When  a  cutting,  layer  or  graft  is 
started  the  parent  is  reproduced,  but 
when  a  seed  is  started  a  new  individual 
is  created.  Seedlings  have  an  individ- 
ualism not  possessed  by  cuttings  or 
layers.  A  counterpart  of  the  parent 
may  be  reproduced,  or  something  new 
is  liable  to  happen.  In  the  one  way  it 
is  known  what  to  expect,  in  the  other 
it  is  uncertain,  and  therein  lies  the  fas 
cination  of  growing  plants  from  seed. 
A  man  with  a  thousand  carnation  seed- 
lings about  to  bloom  is  on  tiptoe  all 
the  time.

-v- 


The   Market. 


An  unusually  large  quantity  of  fu- 
neral work  brought  a  week  of  good  busi- 
ness; in  fact,  flowers  were  actually 
scarce  at  the  end  of  the  seven  days. 
Gladioli  held  the  center  of  the  stage 
last  week,  but  it  was  necessary  to  mix 
in  delphiniums  and  other  outdoor  blooms 
to  make  the  supply  go  around.  Bloom- 
ing plants  had  a  dull  time  of  it  last 
week.  The  hot,  dry  weather  is  ex- 
pected to  cut  down  the  receipts  consid- 
erably. 

Various  Notes. 

A.  Elberfield  is  receiving  some  extra 
fine  asters  and  out  at  his  farm  the  men 
are  picking  2,500  good  peas  daily.  Mr. 
Elberfield  has  been  doing  extremely 
well  in  oil  investments. 

Some  of  the  best  gladioli  in  the  mar- 
ket have  come  from  the  nursery  of 
M.  E.  Chandler.  The  proprietor  left 
this  week  for  a  two  weeks'  fishing  trip 
in  the  Ozark  mountains. 

Another  vacationist  is  W.  J.  Barnes, 
who  is  enjoying  the  cool  breezes  in 
Colorado  for  two  weeks.  The  stock  at 
Barnes'  range  is  in  the  pink  of  condi- 
tion. Henry  Kusik  also  chose  Colorado 
for  his  vacation. 

A  liberal  quantity  of  funeral  work 
had  the  force  of  the  W.  L.  Rock  Flower 
Co.  fully  occupied  last  week,  a  number 
of  the  workers  being  at  the  summer 
resorts. 

Arthur  Newell  says  that  business  last 
week  panned  out  well,  thanks  to  a 
good  batch  of  funeral  orders.  The  boss 
recently  returned  from  a  week  at 
Excelsior  Springs.  W.  J.  B. 


OAKLAND,  MD. 


Nestled  among  the  Alleghany  moun- 
tains of  Maryland,  near  Oakland,  are 
the  greenhouses  of  the  H.  Weber  &  Sons 
Co.  More  than  100,000  feet  of  glass 
glisten  in  the  sun,  the  houses  being  at 
an  altitude  of  2,500  feet,  and  there  are 
350  acres  of  intensely  cultivated  land. 
The  products  of  the  range  are  sold  by 
the  three  stores  of  the  company,  at 
Oakland,  Md.,  and  Clarksburg  and  Fair- 
mont, W.  Va.  Roses  of  wide  variety 
are  grown,  as  well  as  carnations  and 
decorative  greens.  Lilies  are  produced 
in  large  quantities,  about  160,000  bulbs 
being  forced  annually.  To  do  this  with 
greater  ease  a  cold  storage  plant  is  be- 
ing erected,  in  addition  to  the  one  al- 
ready on  the  premises.  The  new  sys- 
tem will  be  of  the  ammonia  and  brine 
type. 

William  Weber,  who  is  in  general 
charge,  says  that  the  company  has 
found  it  profitable  to  grow  cauliflower. 
A  plot  of  twenty  acres  is  devoted  to 
this  vegetable,  which  is  marketed  at  a 
good  price  in  Baltimore,  Washington, 
Philadelphia,  New  York  and  Pittsburgh. 
Many  other  crops  are  grown  on  the 
farm,  and  to  save  labor  and  expedite 
the  work  a  large  tractor  is  employed. 
A  special  truck  is  used  to  haul  the 
products  to  Oakland,  two  miles  distant. 
The  Clarksburg  and  Fairmont  stores 
are  under  the  management  of  the 
Misses  Weber.  Ralph  Weber,  the 
junior  member  of  the  company,  is  in 
charge  of  the  motor  vehicles. 

The  question  of  fuel  is  a  simple  one 
at  Oakland.  A  sufficient  quantity  of 
natural  gas  may  be  had  to  heat  the 
houses.  During  the  cold  snap  last 
February,  and  for  the  first  time  in  nine

COLUMBUS,   O. 

Business  has  been  extremely  quiet, 
and  the  dullness  has  seemed  more 
marked  in  the  face  of  a  plentiful  sup- 
ply of  stock.  Gladioli  have  become 
more  abundant,  but  not  to  the  extent  of 
overstocking  the  market.  Good  asters 
arrive  and  are  "welcomed  in  the  absence 
of  carnations.  Roses  are  available'  in 
numbers,  but  the  blooms  cannot  sur- 
vive the  heat  for  any  length  of  time. 
Snapdragons  are  here  in  numbers,  and 
those  not  taken  up  by  funeral  work 
frequently  go  to  waste.  Many  good 
dahlias  also  are  unappreciated  and  share 
the  fate  of  the  snaps.  Lilies  have  a 
good  call,  but  the  erratic  demand  some- 
times finds  only  a  few  of  them. 

There  is  a  flood  of  outdoor  stock,  so 
it  is  no  wonder  that  the  public's  de- 
mand should  dwindle.  The  call  to 
colors  of  the  militia  and  reserve  units 
now  is  beginning  to  reflect  itself  in  the 
flower  business.  Many  of  the  prosper- 
ous young  business  men  who  are 
counted  as  flower  buyers  have  gone  into 
camp,  as  well  as  professionals  who 
have  enlisted  in  the  special  branches.

Tex.;  Secretary  and  Counsel,  Curtis  Nye  Smith, 
19  Congress  St.,  lloston,  Mass.;  Treasurer,  J.  W. 
Hill,  Ues  Moines,   la.. 

Several  buildings  of  the  New  Eng- 
land Nursery  Co.,  of  Bedford,  Mass., 
were  destroyed  by  fire  July  23,  the  dam- 
age being  estimated  at  $10,000. 

Lloyd  C.  Stark  returned  to  Louisiana, 
Mo.,  last  week  after  a  month's  trip  east, 
in  the  course  of  which  he  attended  the 
Philadelphia  convention  and  was  elected 
president  of  the  American  Association  of 
Nurserymen. 

Because  of  the  spring  scarcity  of 
boxwoods  and  the  probability  that  none 
can  be  imported  this  season,  the  D.  Hill 
Nursery  Co.,  Dundee,  111.,  is  looking  for- 
ward to  an  unusually  large  demand  for 
native  conifers.

These  are  the  strongest  and  best  plants  we  have  ever  been  able  to  offer.  It  has  been  a  splendid 
growing  season  with  us  (cool,  with  just  enough  rain)  and  the  plants  are  in  excellent  shape.  Put  them  on 
your  bench  and  they  will  take  hold  at  once  and  give  you  a  fine  start  for  next  season.     We  offer  for  imme- 

diate  shipment  at     $5^00  per  100;    $40.00  per  1000

be  planted  by  the  customer  is  not  guar- 
anteed, but  where  the  price  paid  covers 
planting  by  the  seller,  the  guarantee  ap- 
plies, and  in  case  a  sufficient  price  has 
been  paid  a  special  guarantee  of  one  or 
two  additional  years  is  given.  The 
guarantee  requires  that  claim  be  made 
if  replacement  is  necessary,  but  it  is 
not  the  custom  to  wait  for  claims.  When 
July  arrives  the  annual  drive  is  ar- 
ranged. A  large  map  of  Chicago  is  past- 
ed on  a  board  and  into  it  a  pin  is 
driven  showing  the  location  of  every 
guaranteed  planting.  Each  season  there 
are  between  400  and  500  pins  in  the 
map.  From  the  pins  a  route  is  made 
and  an  automobile,  carrying  three  or

out  for  the  drive.  The  trip  is  made  in 
less  than  a  week,  sometimes  in  three  or

timely  suggestion  for  care.

The  Market. 

The  wholesale  market  was  unusually 
active  last  week,  a  condition  attributed 
to  the  fact  that  many  of  the  society 
people  are  remaining  in  the  city  this 
summer.  This  creates  a  good  demand 
for  cut  flowers  for  small  social  affairs. 
Funeral  work  also  is  brisk  and  hospital 
orders  are  numerous.

FIELD-GROWN  CARNATION  PLANTS 

We 'have  had  unusually  favorable  weather  conditions  for  the  growing  of  Carnation 
Plants  thus  far  this  season,  and  with  continued  good  weather,  they  will  be  ready  for 
benching  somewhat  earlier  than  previous  years,  and  of  very  much  better  quality. 

It  is  generally  conceded  by  Carnation  experts  that  the  best  results  are  obtained  by

When  sending  a  repeat  order  for  snapdragon  seed, 
K.  J.  Snyder,  North  Germantown,  N.  Y.,  writes : 

"During  March  and  April  alone,  from  148  plants  of 
your  Silver  Pink  Snapdragon,  I  cut  $160.00  worth  of 
blooms.  I  think  that  great  for  the  bench  room  they 
occupied." 

Do  you  know  of  any  plant  that  will  do  so  well  ?  Seed 
should  be  sown  now  for  plants  to  follow  mums.     We  have 

seed  as  follows: 

Seed  of  our  famous  Silver  Pink,  $1.00  per  pkt.;  3  for  $2.50;  7 
for  $5.00.  Seed  of  Nelrose,  Garnet,  Yellow,  White,  Light  Pink,

Pink  Mixture,  $1.00  per  pkt.  All  orders  cash.  Free  cultural

the  high  temperatures  and  most  of  the 
growers  have  emptied  their  houses. 
The  best  of  them  bring  50  cents  per 
dozen.  Gladioli  are  increasing  in  sup- 
ply and  the  best  sell  at  $1,  $1.50  and 
$2  per  dozen.  Asters  are  a  close  sec- 
ond, but  the  demand  for  them  is  not  so 
good.  There  is  a  liberal  supply  of 
sweet  peas,  but  on  account  of  the  hot 
weather  the  quality  is  none  too  good. 
Lilium  longiflorum  and  speciosum  are  in 
good  supply  and  sell  exceedingly  well 
for  funeral  work.  Valley,  however,  is 
none  too  plentiful  and  the  prices  are 
high. 

Outdoor  flowers  sell  well  for  table 
decorations.  Some  excellent  cattleyas 
move  well.  The  supply  of  greens  is 
good,  although  smilax  is  scarce. 

Various  Notes. 

Mrs.  Herman  Leitz,  of  the  New  Ha- 
ven Floral  Co.,  New  Haven,  Ind.,  and 
three  children  have  left  for  a  several 
weeks'  visit  with  relatives  at  Alten- 
burg,  Mo, 

Miss  Georgia  Flick  has  gone  to  To- 
ledo, O.,  for  a  several  weeks'  visit  with 
her  aunt,  Miss  C.  B.  Flick,  of  the  Pat- 
ten Flower  Shop.  Miss  Helen  F.  Patten 
has  returned  from  a  month's  vacation 
spent  at  Portland,  Me. 

The  Flick  Floral  Co.  is  remodeling 
and  repainting  the  interior  of  its  store. 
The  large  building  this  firm  erected 
necessitated  the  removal  of  its  glass 
conservatories  and  the  building  of  a 
screen  across  the  back  part  of  the  sales- 
room. 

Frank  J.  Knecht  is  sending  some  fine 
Ophelia  and  Russell  roses  to  this  mar- 
ket. The  greenhouses  are  in  fine  order 
and  most  of  the  young  stock  for  next 
year  has  been  benched.

Greenhouse  Heating. 

Subscribers  are  invited  to  write  the 
Editor  of  this  Department  with  regard  to 
any  details  of  greenhouse  heating  that 
are  not  understood.  But  please  do  not 
ask  The  Eeview  to  make  a  choice  of  ap- 
paratus for  you.  The  greenhouse  heating 
equipment  advertised  in  this  paper  is,  we 
believe,  the  best  for  the  trade  to  buy, 
and  each  article  the  best  in  the  special 
field  of  its  adaptation. 


SPENCER  HEATING  CO.  LOSES. 

A  jury  in  the  civil  courts  at  Trenton, 
N.  J.,  has  awarded  a  verdict  of  $2,500 
against  the  Spencer  Heater  Co.,  of 
Philadelphia,  in  favor  of  the  Park 
Floral  Co.,  of  Trenton,  with  an  offset 
of  $1,307.20.  The  heater  company  has 
appealed  from  the  decision. 

The  Spencer  company  installed  two 
boilers  in  the  Park  Floral  Co.  green- 
houses at  Lafayette  and  Buchanan  ave- 
nues. The  latter  company  claimed  that 
the  boilers  were  too  small  to  heat  the 
houses  and,  as  a  result,  thousands  of 
dollars '  worth  oi  sjtpek  ^^t^  destroyed 
by  frost.  '    '"'-"'" 

When  suit  to  recover  the  amount  due 
on  the  boilers  was  filed  by  the  Spencer 
company,  the  Park  Floral  Co.  set  up  a 
counter  claim  for  damages,  alleging  its 
loss  was  $15,000.  The  jury,  which  re- 
turned its  verdict  June  1,  fixed  the 
amount  of  damages  at  $2,500,  with  the 
deduction  for  the  amount  due  on  the 
boilers. 

TWO  BOILERS— ONE  IN  RESERVE. 

We  understand  that  you  undertake  to 
pass  along  to  your  subscribers  various 
technical  points  regarding  the  growing 
of  plants  and  the  construction  of  green- 
houses. Believing  that  our  inquiry 
comes  within  the  scope  of  your  bureau, 
we  shall  be  duly  appreciative  if  you 
will  give  us  the  following  information: 

We  have  greenhouses  with  a  roof  ex- 
posure of  27,000  square  feet  of  glass 
and  with  sides  and  gable  ends  contain- 
ing 5,000  square  feet  of  glass.  Seven  of 
the  greenhouses  are  each  28x194  and 
fourteen  feet  high;  another  is  28x150 
and  sixteen  feet  high.  Aside  from  these, 
we  have  two  rooms,  30x50  and  20x65, 
each  eight  feet  high.  We  also  have  un- 
der construction  a  new  building  of  four 
floors  and  basement.  This  building  is 
to  be  used  as  a  warehouse  and  office 
and  will  require  7,000  square  feet  of 
radiation,  according  to  the  estimate  of 
our  architects. 

If  it  is  not  imposing  too  much  on  your 
good  nature,  will  you  let  us  know  what 
size  of  boilers  will  be  required  to  heat 
the  entire  amount  of  space  described? 
If  such  a  plan  is  practicable,  we  should 
prefer  having  two  boilers,  alternating 
with  them  in  heating;  in  other  words, 
onlv  using  one  boiler  at  a  time. 

S.    S.    C— Wis. 


The  amount  of  radiation  and  the  boil- 
er capacity  required  for  heating  a  green- 
house depends  not  only  upon  the  amount 
of  exposed  glass,  but  upon  the  tempera- 
ture to  be  maintained  in  the  houses, 
the  mininjnm  outside  temperature  and 
the  amount  of  ex])osure  to  the  prevail- 
ing winds,  none  of  which  particulars  is 
given  in  the  forefjoing  letter.  We 
would  say,  however,  that  for  tempera- 
tures averaging  60  degrees  in  the  differ- 
ent houses,  when  the  temperature  is  10

enormous  number  of  new  customers  who  saw  our  boiler  in  opera-

After  using  your  No.  12  Kroescbell 
Boiler  I  came  to  tbe  conclusion  that  bad 
I  to  install  more  boilers  it  would  be  tbe 
Kroeschell  and  no  other.  It  really  is  a 
pleasure  to  beat,  no  trouble  to  get  the 
desired  heat  In  a  very  short  time.

Regarding  the  Kroeschell,  It  is  tbe  best 
we  hare  ever  had  and  satisfactory  beyond 
our  expectations.  It  heats  up  especially 
quick  and  bas  saved  us  considerably  al- 
ready in  tbe  price  of  fuel.  When  we  are 
in  need  of  another  boiler  we  will  give  tbe 
Kroescbell  tbe  first  consideration.

The  Kroescbell  Boiler  I  installed  last 
year  usually  runs  from  10  p.  m.  to  6  a.  m. 
without  attention.  I  do  not  have  tbe 
least  troDble  to  keep  temperatnres  in  tbe 
coldest  weather.  Tbe  boiler  bas  given  en-

The  Kroescbell  is  tbe  best  boiler  we 
have  ever  bandied.

In  speaking  of  the  Kroescbell  Boiler  as 
an  economical  greenhouse  boiler  I  cannot 
say  too  much.  Personally  I  have  bad  tbe 
pleasure  or  misfortune  to  fire  nearly  every 
make  of  greenhouse  boiler  on  the  market  and 
I  can  safely  say  the  Kroescbell  is  tbe 
best  of  them  all.

could  get,  and  the  fact  that  we  Installed 
a  Kroeschell  Boiler  to  furnish  our  heat  is 
sufficient  evidence  of  our  opinion  of  same. 

Since  Installing  this  holler  and  operat-

degrees  below  zero  outside,  with  an 
average  amount  of  exposure  to  the  pre- 
vailing winds,  M-e  would  use  5,500 
square  feet  of  radiation  for  the  32,000 
square  feet  of  glass. 

Before  we  can  estimate  with  any  ac- 
curacy the  amount  of  radiation  required 
in  the  two  rooms,  30x50  and  20x65, 
each  eight  feet  high,  we  should  also 
have  similar  data  to  those  already  men- 
tioned, but  for  the  present  purpose  it 
will  be  sufficiently  accurate  if  we  esti- 
mate the  radiation  at  250  square  feet 
for  the  two  rooms. 

On  the  basis  of  5,500  square  feet  of 
radiation  for  the  greenhouses,  7,000 
square  feet  for  the  office  building  and 
250  square  feet  for  the  two  rooms  re- 
ferred to,  it  will  be  necessary  to  provide 
radiation  and  boiler  capacity  for  12,750 
square  feet  of  radiation.  For  this 
amount  of  radiation  a  boiler  rated  for 
150  horsepower  will  be  desirable,  and 
if  a  duplicate  plant,  to  be  held  in  re- 
serve,   is    to    be    installed,    two    boilers 


TEND-TOS 

That  Will  Make  Your  Boiler 
A  Better  Boiler  Next  Winter 


A  FELLOW  will  take  all  kinds 
of  trouble  and  time  to  go  all 
over  his  auto  carefully  after  trips; 
clean  the  carbon  out  of  the 
cylinders,  and  tend  to  everything 
else  that  needs  tending  to. 

Yet  that  self-same  fellow  won't 
pay  a  bit  of  attention  to  his  boiler 
after  it  finishes  its  long,  hard  trip 
through  the  winter.  He'll  just 
plain  forget  about  it  until  firing- 
up  time  calls  around  again.  And 
yet  boilers  need  tending  to  between 
trips  just  like  autos. 

Here  are  a  few  things  you  can  do 
this  summer  to  putyour  boiler  in  bet- 
ter condition  for  next  winter  s  work: 

HiicKiitififs 


dO)    NEW  TORK  OFFICE 
1170  Oraaiway 


Open  all  doors.  The  boiler  will 
sweat  if  you  don't. 

Slip  off  the  smoke-pipe  while 
your  boiler  is  out  of  use. 

Clean  out  all  soot.  Soot  is  a 
non-conductor  of  heal,  you  know. 
It  wastes  coal  just  like  carbon  in 
the  cylinders  wastes  gasoline. 

It  collects  dampness  and  forms 
a  dangerous  rust-out  acid. 

Swab  your  boiler  out  carefully 
with  crude  oil.  It's  an  effective 
rust-preventing  "internal  bath" 
that  will  add  years  to  its  life. 

Little  things  to  do,  perhaps. 

But  big  in  their  resultfulness.

Ilowever,  a  boiler  rated  for  ]25  horse- 
power will  be  amply  large  except  when 
the  weather  ajjproaches  zero,  and,  un- 
less the  number  of  the  greenhouses  is 
to  be  increased,  we  would  recommend 
the  installation  of  two  boilers  of  125 
horsepower  each,  planning  to  hold  one 
in  reserve,  except  in  severe  weather,  to 
be  used  in  case  of  accident  to  the  other 
boiler.  Although  one  of  these  boilers 
will  not  be  quite  as  large  as  will  be  de- 
sired for  carrying  the  radiation  with 
the  temperature  at  zero  and  below,  it 
will  do  so  with  a  little  extra  attention 
in  case  of  a  breakdown  of  the  other 
boiler,  and  in  ordinary  weather  it  can 
be  operated  much  more  cheaply  than 
the  larger  boiler. 


QUANTITY    OF    COAL    CONSUMED. 

I  am  of  the  opinion  that  I  am  using 
more  coal  than  I  ought  to  use  in  heating 
my  establishment,  which  comprises  the 
following  buildings:  One  greenhouse 
18x85,  with  two  feet  of  glass  in  the 
sides  and  a  10-foot  gable;  another 
greenhouse  24x110,  with  four  feet  of 
glass  in  the  sides  and  a  12-foot  gable;  a 
packing  room  12x24,  with  9-foot  stud- 
ding and  a  quarter-pitch  roof;  a  resi- 
dence, of  which  I  heat  the  first  story, 
which  is  nine  feet  high  and  contains  five 
rooms,  14xlG,  12x14,  12x12,  14x15  and 
10x11,  and  a  bathroom  5x9.  I  have  an 
American  hot  water  boiler,  rated  at  3,750 
feet.  Please  let  me  know  about  how 
much  mine-run  soft  coal  should  be  re- 
quired each  season  to  heat  this  place, 
running  the  greenhouses  with  a  temper- 
ature of  50  degrees  at  night  and  60  de- 
grees in  the  daytime. 

C.  J.  S.— Pa. 


So  many  conditions  affect  the  coal  con- 
sumption that  what  might  prove  ample 
in  one  season  might  come  far  short  in 
another.  The  construction:  and  exposure 
of  the  greenhouses  will  have  much  to  do 
with  it,  and  the  weather  might  be  much 
more  severe  one  year  than  another. 
Careful  firing  will  have  much  to  do  with 
the  economy  in  coal  consumption. 

We  would  think  that  under  good  aver- 
age conditions  the  temperature  men- 
tioned might  be  maintained  in  the  green- 
houses and  dwelling  with  fifty  tons  of 
coal.  Under  the  best  of  conditions  it 
might  be  done  with  forty  tons,  while 
seventy  tons  might  be  used  by  some 
firemen. 


CHANGING  BENCHES  AND  PIPING. 

I  wish  to  make  a  little  change  in  the 
piping  of  a  greenhouse,  21x50,  which  is 
heated  witli  hot  water.  The  house  has 
a  2-inoh  flow  on  each  side.  These  flows 
feed  four  2-iiich  returns  under  each  out- 
side beneli,  four  2-inch  returns  on  the 
west  line  of  ])urlin  supports  and  three 
2-inch  returns  on  the  east  purlin  sup- 
ports. Having  decided  to  put  raised 
benclies  in  tlie  middle  of  the  house,  in- 
stead of  the  present  solid  beds.  I  wish 
to  know  Avhether  I  shall  get  the  same 
service  if  the  pipes  now  on  the  purlin 
posts  are  put  under  the  benches. 

M.  W.   T.   B.— N.   C. 


As  we  understand  the  plan  described, 
the  proposed  change  in  the  location  of 
the  return  coils  will  have  no  effect  on 
the  circulation,  provided  the  returns 
will  be  above  the  top  of  the  boiler. 
The  higher  the  returns  are  located,  the

better  will  be  the  circulation.  When 
the  flows  are  overliead,  there  should  be 
no  difficulty  about  sccurinfj  a  satisfac- 
tory circulation  if  the  returns  are  even 
with  the  top  of  the  l)oiler. 

If  care  is  taken  that  the  soil  in  the 
benclies  is  not  allowed  to  dry  out,  the 
bottom  heat  secured  wlien  the  returns 
are  under  the  benches  is  often  decidedly 
beneficial  to  the  growtli  of  the  plants. 

The  letter  does  not  state  the  amount

ture of  GO  to  6~)  degrees  and  with  no 
more  than  three  feet  of  glass  in  each 
of  the  walls,  we  would  consider  tliat  the 
amount  of  radiation  is  correct  as  de- 
scribed, provided  tlie  coldest  outside 
temperature  is  not  below  zero.  We 
would  suggest,  however,  that  two  of  the 
present  returns  lie  used  as  flows  and 
placed  overhead  on  the  jiurlin  supports, 
thus  making  four  flows  in  the  house.  If 
this  is  done,  better  results  can  be  ob- 
tained than  when  only  two  flows  are 
used   for  the   present   radiation.

At  the  annual  me6ti1ig'->o^itBe'"!New

19,  the  election  of  officers  resulted  in  the 
choice  of  the  following:  President,  E.

mann;  treasurer,  John  Eblen;  recording 
and  financial  secretary,  Richard  Eich-

the  outgoing  officers. 

Secretary  Eichling  reported  that  the 
cash  in  the  society's  treasury  amounted 
to  $753.69.  The  membership  now  num- 
bers forty-five  active  and  two  honorary

ready  to  turn  their  greenhouses  into

The  Florists^  Review 


August  2,  1917. 


PROVIDENCE,  R.  I. 

Business  with  the  Providence  florists, 
especially  with  those  in  the  downtown 
district,  was  good  in  spots  during  the 
month  of  July.  A  few  weddings  and  a 
fair  volume  of  funeral  work  kept  busi 
ness  a  trifle  above  the  normal  for  this 
season.  The  work  was  fairly  divided, 
although  some  houses  Avore  favored  witli 
one  or  two  special  calls. 

Prices  of  coal  have  not  eased  oft'  to 
any  appreciable  extent,  but  the  green- 
housemen  are  placing  their  orders  for 
the  winter  supply  wherever  possible, 
taking  a  chance  on  prices. 

A  campaign  has  been  started  to  se- 
cure a  good  attendance  from  Ehode  Is- 
land at  the  convention  of  the  S.  A.  F. 
at  New  York. 

The  Budlong  Eose  Co.  is  sending  large 
shipments  of  roses  to  the  Boston  and 
New  York  markets  daily. 

Harry  Swanson,  of  Swanson  Bros., 
was  a  member  of  Battery  A,  which 
mobilized  last  week. 

The  Hoxsie  Greenhouses  have  com- 
pleted two  new  greenhouses.  Mr.  Bour- 
gaige  is  on  a  visit  to  relatives  on  the 
Isle  of   Gruernsey. 

V,  J.  Berarducci  is  spending  the  sum- 
mer at  his  cottage  at  Highland  beach. 

Alfonso  Lefazia,  of  Thornton,  has 
opened  a  store  on  Atwells  avenue.

NEWPORT,  R.  I. 

Members  of  the  Newport  Garden 
Club  last  week  held  their  first  business 
meeting  in  the  new  club  house  on  Belle- 
vue  avenue.  The  schedule  of  the  club's 
summer  lectures  has  been  announced. 
Usually  these  have  been  free,  but  this 
year  it  has  been  decided  to  make  a 
charge  of  $1,  the  proceeds  to  be  do- 
nated to  the  Eed  Cross. 

Andrew  S.  Meikle  has  been  appointed 
by  Mayor  Burdick  a  member  of  the 
board  of  park  commissioners,  for  the 
term  expiring  in  1922. 

William  J.  Gardnear,  of  New  York,  is 
here  for  the  rest  of  the  summer  season, 
associated  with  Wadley  &  Smythe.  The 
floral  decorations  for  the  recent  Red 
Cross  concert  at  the  Casino  theater 
were  by  Wadley  &  Smythe.

CINCINNATI. 


The  Market. 

Stock  is  plentiful,  but  business  is 
quiet.  About  the  only  item  for  which 
there  is  a  steady  demand  is  greens  and 
the  bulk  of  the  call  for  this  is  from 
out  of  town.  Eoses  are  abundant,  but 
they  have  been  affected  by  the  heat. 
Asters  now  are  in  big  supply,  nearly 
all  local  growers  having  heavy  cuts, 
and  many  more  are  shipped  in.  Easter 
lilies  are  in  sufficient  supply  to  meet  the 
demand.  Gladioli  are  abundant  and  are 
of  excellent  quality.  Other  offerings 
include  rubrum  and  auratum  lilies, 
snapdragons,  hardy  hydrangeas,  phlox 
and  a  few  carnations. 

Various  Notes. 

Louis  H.  Kyrk  had  some  excellent 
Shawyer  roses  last  week. 

P.  O.  Coblentz,  of  New  Madison,  O., 
has  begun  to  ship  his  cut  of  gladioli  to 
C.  E.  Critchell.  Mr,  Coblentz  has 
gained  fame  as  a  grower  of  gladioli  and 
the  blooms  he  has  shipped  in  other 
years  have  found  ready  sale. 

The  Cincinnati  Cut  Flower  Exchange 
has  been  handling  some  excellent  asters 
from  local  growers. 

Among  recent  visitors  to  Cincinnati 
were  Frank  Schoen,  Cleveland,  O.; 
William  Hull,  Bristol,  Tenn.;  H.  P. 
Smith,  Piqua,  O.;  H.  F.  Winter,  Charles- 
ton, W.  Va.;  William  Gardner  and

Charles  Pommert,  Amelia,  O.

BRAMPTON,  ONT. 

Many  florists  from  Brampton  and 
vicinity  are  going  to  the  convention  of 
the  Canadian  Horticultural  Association 
by  boat  from  Toronto,  leaving  August 
4.  A  number  of  outings  during  the  con- 
vention have  been  arranged  and,  with 
the  program  that  has  been  prepared,  the 
visitors  are  assured  an  interesting  time. 

The  weather  during  the  last  week  was 
extremely  warm  and,  although  outdoor 
stock  was  plentiful,  there  was  a  good 
call  for  flowers  of  all  kinds. 

The  Dale  Estate  employees  held  a 
picnic  at  Snell's  lake  July  21.  It  was 
a  great  success.  W.  G.  P.

horse  car  class,  costly,  and  mast  be  done 
over  and  over  again.  Besides,  labor  should 
be  put  to  more  productive  work. 

The  remedy? 

Owners  of  estates  and  homes,  as  well  as 
leading  railroads,  municipalities,  country 
and  golf  clubs,  parks  and  cemeteries  ail 
over  the  country,  have  found  a  solution  to 
the  weed  problem  in  Atlas  Chemical  Weed 
Killer. 


One  application  of  this  chemical,  diluted 
with  20  parts  water,  permanently  destroys 
weed  growth  for  the  entire  season.  Atlas 
burns  down  to  the  very  root— also  steril- 
izes the  ground  round  about. 

Tell  your  customers  of  Atlas— its  econ- 
omy, effectiveness  and  how  easily  it  is 
applied.  They'll  remember,  then,  of 
having  read  of  it  in  the  magazine  adver- 
tisements. They  will  buy— you  will 
profit.

NEW    SOLANUM    BURBKA. 

The    greatest    novelty    in    berried    plants    for 
Christmas.    This  solanum,  unlike  the  old^Tarlety." 
bears  its  berries  on  the  top  of  the  plant,  which 
gives  it  the  appearance  of  a  solid  mass  of  large 
red  cherries. 

The  habit  of  the  plant  is  dwarf  and  bushy: 
the  fruit  Is  perfectly  round,  the  color  a  brilliant 
red  and  larger  than  an  ordinary  cherry. 

A  4-lnch  plant  will  carry  from  160  to  200  ber-

most  prettily  decorated  car  without  cov- 
ering up  his  name  on  the  panel  body.

Six  Splendid  Australian  Varieties 

CONCORD  Spencer  types 

The  Concord  Varieties  of  Winter-flowering 
Spencer  Sweet  Peas  are  perhaps  the  most 
advanced  and  finest  of  all.  The  colors  are 
distinct,  clear  and  true.  They  flower  earlier 
than  any  other  type,  and  the  blossoms  are 
of  large  Spencer  form,  with  long  stems. 
Unfortunately  they  are  shy  seeders  and, 
therefore,  the  seed  is  scarce  and  expensive 
We  are  obliged  to  offer  in  packets  only 
this  year.  

Prices,  any  of  the  following: 

Pkt.  (50  seeds),  40c;  5  pkts.,  $1.75. 
Concord  Pink,  beautiful  delicate  pink. 
Concord  Crimson,  fine  ruby  red. 
Concord  Lavender,  light  lavender  blue. 
Concord  White,  large,  pure  white. 
Concord  Salmon,  soft  salmon  pink. 
Concord  Blue,  dark  purple  blue. 


We  have  on  hand  fresh  seed  of  Giant  Flowered  Cyclamen  in  all  popular  colors, 
also  Primula,  Cineraria,  Calceolaria;  Perennial  Flower  Seeds  for  summer  sow- 
ing and  Annuals  for  winter  flowering  under  glass.

SIITS  HYBRID  YELLOW  POLYANTHUS 


I  had  two  houses  of  Giant  Yellow 
Polyanthus  in  full  crop  at  Easter. 
A  Review  correspondent  saw  them 
March  31st  and  wrote: 

"They  include  some  beautiful  varieties, 
which  are  being  carefully  marked  and 
saved  for  propagation.  One  bed  300  feet 
long,  of  a  pale  yellow  polyanthus,  true  to 
type  in  every  plant,  was  particularly 
fine.  I  measured  individual  flowers  two 
inches  in  diameter  and  many  of  the  stalks 
stood  eighteen  inches  high.  Two  houses, 
each  300  feet  long,  are  devoted  to  this 
crop,  and  a  glorious  sight  they  are." 


Tfcig  is  one  of  my  houses.  20x300  feet,  of  National  Flower  Show  Gold  Medal  Polyanthus. 
These  have  been  in  bloom  constantly  since  November. 


But  the  best  of  it  is  they  had  a 
glorious  sale.     You  can  do  as  wel 
next^season  if  you  order  your  stock 
now.

CANADIANS  MEET       ^ 

TO  TALK  SHOP 


The  problems  of  our  neighbors  may  be  our  problems  soon  and  the  twen- 
tieth annual  meeting  of  the  Canadian  florists'  society,  in  progress  at  Mont- 
real this  week,  therefore  is  of  special  interest  to  the  trade  in  the  United  States  as 
reflecting  the  conditions  brought  about  by  war.  It  is  encouraging,  a  reassurance. 


HERE  is  in  Canada  as 
brave  a  little  body  of 
florists  as  one  could  wish 
to  see.  They  have  gone 
through  three  years  of  war 
without  a  whimper  and 
without  a  suggestion  that 
they  can  not  "carry  on," 
supporting  burdens  such 
as  probably  never  will 
come  upon  the  trade  in  the  United 
States.  Of  her  eight  millions,  Canada 
has  sent  across  the  seas  as  many  men  as 
the  first  draft  will  take  out  of  the  more 
than  a  hundred  millions  of  people  this 
side  of  the  boundary.  In  other  words, 
twelve  such  drafts  will  be  necessary  to 
make  the  labor  situation  in  the  United 
States  what  it  now  is  in  Canada,  or  to  so 
affect  the  purchasing  power  of  the 
people. 

That  the  Canadian 
Horticultural  Asso- 
ciation, the  trade 
body  in  the  Domin- 
ion, should  be  able 
to  show  undimin- 
ished strength  at 
this  time  and  under 
these  circumstances 
is  a  matter  for  fe- 
licitation. 

The  Membership. 

In  his  report  at 
the  opening  session 
of  the  twentieth 
annual  convention, 
at  Montreal,  August 
7,  J.  Luck,  the 
secretary-  treasurer, 
showed  a  member- 
ship list  of  nearly 
100  and  a  good  bal- 
ance in  the  bank.  It 
is  a  record  of  main- 
tenance of  member- 
ship in  the  face  of 
difficulties  and,  it  is 
worth  while  to  note, 
the  organization  in- 
cludes a  much  larger 
percentage  of  the 
total  number  e  n  - 
gaged  in  the  trade 
in  Canada  than  does 
the  Society  of  Amer- 
icaa  Florists  of 
those  who  are  eligi- 
ble to  its  member- 
ship. The  Canadians 
certainly  have  every 
reason  to  be  proud 
of  the  showing  they 
make. 


The  Montreal  florists  express  them- 
selves as  delighted  with  the  attend- 
ance at  this  meeting.  It  exceeds  that 
of  recent  years  in  spite  of  the  fact 
that  everything  of  a  general  enter- 
tainment nature  has  been  omitted. 
Particularly  large  is  the  delegation  from 
Toronto,  headed  by  John  H.  Dunlop; 
there  are  thirty  in  this  party  and  other 
parts  of  Ontario  and  Quebec  are  well 
represented,  although  the  maritime 
provinces  and  the  west  are  not  ac- 
counted for. 

The  Wax  the  Topic. 

The  war  and  its  effects  constitute  al- 
most the  only  topic,  in  meeting  and  out; 
everything  hinges  on  the  war.  Presi- 
dent Eraser,  of  Prescott,  Ont.,  in  his 
address,  said  he  would  try  not  to  men- 


James  At  Fraser>  President  of  the  Canadian  Horticultural  Association. 


tion  war,  but  he  talked  of  little  else. 
The  convention  was  opened  by  E.  J. 
Hay  ward,  of  the  Montreal  Florists' 
Club,  who  welcomed  the  visitors  and 
introduced  Alderman  Weldon  to  speak 
for  the  mayor.  That  gentleman  showed 
an  unexpected  acquaintance  with  flow- 
ers, but  he  began  by  saying  he  had 
three  sons  in  France,  each  of  whom  had 
been  wounded  at  least  once,  and  he  went 
on  to  tell  what  one  of  them  wrote  about 
the  pleasure  afforded  by  the  flowers 
which  so  quickly  spring  up  on  a  battle 
field  after  the  scene  shifts.  The  influ- 
ence of  the  war  is  everywhere  apparent 
in  the  convention. 

The  talk  shows  quite  clearly  that  the 
trade  is  not  profiting  in  any  way  by  the 
war.  Business  has  not  been  bad,  but  it 
has  been  different  and  difficult.  The 
large  social  affairs  of  the  wealthy  have 

been  discontinued 
and  the  loss  of  these 
orders  is  rather 
keenly  felt  by  some 
of  the  members.  On 
the  other  hand,  the 
sales  to  working  peo- 
ple have  increased, 
for  employment  is 
more  general  and 
family  earnings  are 
higher  than  before. 
On  the  whole,  it  is 
easier  to  sell  flow- 
ers than  to  grow 
them  at  a  profit. 
Labor  is  scarce,  un- 
skilled and  high, 
making  the  owner 
do  more  of  his  own 
work  than  he 
should.  All  expenses 
are  up.  Flowers  are 
bringing  fair  prices, 
but  not  so  much  as 
to  offset  the  in- 
creased costs.  Taxes 
arc  constantly  in- 
creasing. 

Home  Production. 

President  Eraser, 
although  he  said  he 
would  not  discuss 
the  war,  devoted  a 
considerable  part  of 
his  address  to  the 
problem  of  a  home 
supply  of  stock  to 
meet  the  present 
lack  of  imported 
plants  and  to  ob- 
viate the  necessity 
of    importing    from

The  Florists'  Review 


August  9,  1917. 


Europe  after  the  war.  It  was  his  view 
that  it  is  not  necessary  to  produce  all  the 
kinds  of  plants  previously  imported,  but 
that  substitutes  can  be  developed  for 
the  varieties  not  easily  grown  in  Canada. 
At  the  same  session  W.  C.  Hall,  of 
Montreal,  read  a  paper  on  the  cyclamen, 
which  was  followed  by  a  general  dis- 
cussion. It  was  the  consensus  that  the 
cyclamen  now  takes  the  place  of  the 
azalea  for  Christmas  and  that  it  will  be 
hard  to  displace  after  the  war. 

New  Varieties. 

The  evening  session  August  7  was  de- 
voted to  the  discussion  of  novelties. 
John  H.  Dunlop,  of  Toronto,  read  a 
paper  on  the  behavior  of  the  newer  car- 
nations and  Joseph  Bennett,  of  Lachine, 
presented  a  report  on  what  the  Experi- 
mental Farm  can  do  for  the  trade  in 
the  way  of  testing  new  sorts.  There 
was  a  long  discussion  of  much  interest 
to  those  participating.  It  brought  out 
many  opinions  as  to  the  value  of  the 
assistance  the  trade  already  has  received 
from  the  government  stations  and  also 
regarding  data  that  could  be  provided 
the  stations  by  florists.  In  the  end  it 
was  decided  to  appoint  another  com- 
mittee to  work  out  cooperation  between 
the    trade    and    the    stations,    or    vice 

versa. 

Mums  and  Peas. 

The  morning  of  the  second  day  was 
devoted  to  a  paper  on  chrysanthemums, 
by  J.  H.  McKee,  of  Ottawa,  and  one  on 
sweet  peas  under  glass,  by  James  Kean, 
of  St.  Bruno.  The  lady  visitors  went 
sight-seeing  about  the  city. 

In  the  afternoon  the  visitors  were 
the  guests  of  the  city  on  a  drive  to  the 
parks  and-  the  mountain,  followed  by 
a  visit  to  the  greenhouses  of  McKenna, 

Ltd. 

The  convention  will  close  at  the  eve- 
ning session,  except  that  on  the  follow- 
ing day  the  Montreal  Gardeners'  and 
Florists'  Club  will  take  the  visitors  who 
remain  for  a  visit  to  the  St.  Annes  and 
Senneville  region,  including  the  inspec- 
tion of  the  famous  Macdonald  college. 

The  trades'  display  appears  to  be  less 
than  at  previous  conventions. 

PACKING  AND  SHXPPING. 

[Following  is  a  paper  by  William  Cotter,  of 
Montreal,  Can.,  delivered  at  the  convention  of 
the  Canadian  Hortienltural  Association  at  Mon- 
treal, August  8,   1917.] 

There  are  many  methods  of  packing 
cut  flowers,  but  only  two  degrees— good 
and  poor.  Any  process  of  handling  and 
packing  cut  flowers  that  will  conduce 
toward  putting  the  stock  in  the  hands 
of  the  consignee  in  good  condition — by 
that  I  mean  stock  that  arrives  fresh,  not 
bruised,  and  with  no  apparent  loss  of 
vitality — would  be  designated  as  good 
packing. 

There  is  no  doubt  that  a  flower  of 
any  description  loses  a  certain  amount 
of  its  original  perfectness  during  trans- 
portation, and  that  is  what  I  have  in 
mind  and  which  I  wish  to  bring  before 
our  members — the  treatment  of  stock 
from  the  time  it  is  cut  in  the  green- 
houses until  it  is  actually  packed  and 
shipped.  This  treatment,  or,  as  I  might 
call  it,  "the  curing  of  stock,"  has  every 
effect  upon  the  condition  of  the  flowers, 
nM  only  on  arrival  at  the  wholesalers 
or  retailers,  but  also  ultimately  at  the 
consumer's  home — the  length  of  time  it 
lasts  in  the  home.  In  a  decoration  the 
apparent  freshness  of  the  stock  is  due  to 
the  original  treatment  the  stock  re- 
ceived from  the  grower  from  the  time 
of  cutting. 


I  find  that  the  successful  rose  growers 
cut  their  stock  two  and  three  times  a 
day,  regulated  by  weather  conditions, 
and  then  rush  it  immediately  to  the 
coolers  or  refrigerators,  which  are  kept 
at  a  temperature  of  from  38  to  40  de- 
grees. They  allow  the  stock  to  stand  for 
ten  to  twelve  hours,  after  which,  as  the 
hardening  process  has  taken  effect,  it 
is  graded.  I  might  mention  that  if  the 
stock  can  be  left  to  harden  twenty-four 
hours  previous  to  grading,  it  will  help 
to  improve  its  condition  and  it  will  also 
carry  better  after  packing. 

For  the  Sake  of  Better  Prices. 

This  treatment  is  adaptable  to  chrys- 
anthemums, lilies,  stevias,  some  bulbous 
stock — in  fact,  everything  but  perhaps 
carnations,  which  wtill  take  a  little 
higher  temperature  in  the  curing  proc- 
ess, but  even  so  it  is  a  debatable 
question. 

The  growers  who  are  in  close  proxim- 
ity to  any  market  would  not  perhaps 
have  to  go  into  the  above  methods  so

closely,  but  I  would  mention  that  it  is 
advisable. 

It  is  apparent  that  the  grower  who 
gives  his  stock  this  sort  of  treatment 
will  put  it  on  the  market  in  better  con- 
dition and  will  be  able  to  obtain, 
through  good  keeping  qualities,  better 
prices  than  the  grower  who  ships  his 
stock  without  hardening  and  too  soon 
after  cutting. 

I  might  state  that  sweet  peas,  violets 
and  flowers  of  that  description  are  best 
put  on  a  market  or  shipped  as  soon  as  is 
possible  after  picking,  as  they  will  lose 
their  greatest  values,  fragrance  and 
sweetness,  if  held  any  length  of  time. 

The  packing  now  enters  into  the  ques- 
tion and  can  be  discussed  in  its  various 
forms  by  the  members. 

I  do  strongly  recommend  plenty  of  ice 
for  roses  in  packing  at  all  times  of  the 
year,  as  I  find  that  stock  comes  through 
better  from  growers  who  use  ice  ^han 
from  those  who  do  not.  I  suggest  well 
lined  boxes,  careful  handling  and  pack- 
ing, not  forgetting  what  a  lot  of  good 
two  cleats  will  do  if  used  properly. 

The  Need  for  Standard  Grading. 

There  have  been  many  arguments  rela- 
tive to  the  method  of  shipping  carna- 
tions. Some  growers  prefer  to  pack 
carnations  one  by  one  in  layers  in  the 


boxes,  while  others  bunch  them  in 
twenty-fives.  I  think  that  the  latter 
method  is  perhaps  best  in  most  cases, 
as  they  can  on  arrival  be  unpacked, 
checked  and  put  away  with  less  labor 
and  loss  of  time  than  through  the  first 
method  mentioned. 

One  more  item  regarding  grading  is 
that  we  do  not  have  a  standard  system 
of  grading  in  Canada  at  present,  and, 
as  you  are  all  aware,  two  or  three  grow- 
ers grade  to  a  certain  system  and  two 
or  three  to  another  system,  and  so  on. 
It  would  be  a  good  idea  in  general  to 
take  such  steps  as  might  produce  a 
standard  system,  and  I  feel  confident 
that  it  would  result  in  much  good  for  all 
connected  with  the  trade,  growers, 
wholesalers  and  retailers. 

There  are  many  features  regarding 
this  topic  which  have  not  been  gone 
into,  but  I  feel  that  in  making  the  paper 
as  concise  as  possible  the  discussion  per- 
haps will  bring  out  more  good  points, 
and  in  a  way  that  would  prove  more 
beneficial  than  a  lengthy  paper. 


EXPERIMENT  FARM  AND  TRADE. 

[An  extract  from  the  report  of  Joseph  Bennett, 
chairman  of  a  special  committee  to  consider  the 
work  of  the  Canadian  Experimental  Farms,  pre- 
sented at  the  Montreal  Convention  of  the  C.  H.  A. 
August  7.] 

The  members  of  this  committee  have 
visited  the  Experimental  Farm  at  Ot- 
tawa for  several  years  and  have  been 
much  interested  in  the  work  carried  on 
at  this  station.  There  is  no  doubt  but 
what  plants,  flowers  and  fruits  are 
grown  here  to  perfection,  and  it  is  well 
worthy  of  a  visit  from  any  gardener  or 
florist  in  the  country,  especially  garden- 
ers, but  while  we  were  always  delighted 
with  what  we  saw  and  were  well  repaid 
for  our  visit,  as  any  flower  lover  would 
be,  we  always  came  away  with  the  im- 
pression that  there  was  little  benefit  to 
the  florist  from  a  business  standpoint. 

Chrysajithemums. 

In  the  first  place  we  will  take  chrysan- 
themums: They  are  grown  at  Ottawa  to 
perfection;  that  is,  from  an  exhibition 
point  of  view,  but  of  little  use  to  a 
florist  in  his  business.  The  latest  intro- 
ductions are  procured,  which  is  com- 
mendable, but  they  are  grown  to  single 
flowers  in  pots,  given  lots  of  room  and 
the  best  of  attention,  whereas  the  florist 
has  to  grow  his  plants  in  a  bed  or  bench, 
three  flowers  to  a  plant  and  close  enough 
to  make  them  pay  for  themselves,, 
which  is  an  entirely  different  proposi- 
tion. The  florist  visiting  the  experi- 
mental station  while  the  mums  are  in 
flower  knows  no  more  which  varieties 
to  grow  than  if  he  stayed  at  home. 

We  suggest  that  these  same  varieties 
be  planted  in  a  commercial  way;  that  is, 
in  the  same  way  in  which  the  florist  is 
obliged  to  grow  them.  They  will  be 
just  as  interesting  to  the  ordinary  vis- 
itor and  a  source  of  income  to  the  com- 
mercial man. 

No  Carnation  Tests. 

Carnations  are  not  grown  at  all  at  this 
station,  and,  as  they  are  practically  the 
standby  of  the  cut  flower  grower  of 
Canada,  we  would  suggest  that  a  house 
be  devoted  entirely  to  them.  So  many 
varieties  are  introduced  yearly  by 
hybridizers  that  it  is  practically  impos- 
sible for  the  commercial  man  to  buy 
them  all.  He  buys  what  he  thinks  will 
suit  him,  and  oftentimes  he  is  disap- 
pointed with  the  results,  losing  valuable 
time,  labor,  space  and  money.  If  the 
experimental    stations    would    take    up

carnations  and  devote  enough  space  to 
them  it  would  be  a  boon  to  the  florist 
and  a  source  of  delight  to  visitors.  The 
originators  of  new  carnations  would  be 
pleased  to  supply  twenty-five  to  100 
plants  the  year  before  dissemination, 
upon  condition  that  the  young  plants  be 
not  sold  or  given  away,  but  kept  strictly 
for  experimental  purposes  and  reported 
on  accordingly.  Of  course,  we  could 
not  expect  the  stations  to  grow  these 
plants  under  anything  but  ordinary  cir- 
cumstances; that  is,  an  even  temperature 
and  ordinary  soil.  We  know  that  one 
variety  will  make  good  in  a  light  soil 
and  another  variety  in  a  heavy  soil,  and 
that  some  varieties  like  a  little  more 
heat  or  a  little  less  heat  than  other 
varieties,  but  what  the  commercial 
florist  wants  to  know  more  especially 
is  what  varieties  to  grow  under  ordinary 
conditions,  and  this  is  where  the  experi- 
mental farms  can  get  in  their  good  work. 

Rose  Tests  Needed. 

A  few  years  ago  there  were  only  three 
or  four  standard  varieties  of  roses  that 
a  florist  could  grow  with  profit,  but  the 
liybridizers  have  done  wonderful  work 
lately  and  new  roses  are  being  sent  out 
yearly  which  have  entirely  outclassed 
and  superseded  the  old  ones,  and  here 
again  is  where  the  florist  is  at  a  disad- 
vantage. He  cannot  afford  to  buy  every 
variety  offered  by  the  disseminators,  so 
speculates  in  one  or  more  varieties  and 
often  finds  that  he  bought  the  wrong 
one.  Not  only  is  the  price  of  the  new 
plants  lost,  but  a  whole  year's  labor, 
bench  space,  firing,  etc.,  which  is  a  con- 
siderable item  in  the  year's  returns.  If 
the  Experimental  Farm  would  take  up 
rose  growing  and  report,  the  florist 
would  not  be  in  such  a  hurry  to  take  up 
catalogues,  and  trade  papers'  glowing 
accounts  and  throw  their  good  money 
after  bad,  for  a  commercial  grower  is 
always  on  the  lookout  for  something 
better  than  he  is  growing  at  present  and 
is  always  willing  to  take  a  chance.  We 
consider  that  the  government  should 
take  this  chance  and  give  the  hard-work- 
ing florists  the  benefit  of  experience, 
thereby  saving  them  a  lot  of  disappoint- 
ments and  expense  and  also  helping  the 
flower-buying  public  of  Canada  to  pro- 
cure the  best  varieties  obtainable. 

The  above  remarks  apply  equally  to 
all  cut  flowers  grown  by  florists,  such  as 
violets,  mignonette,  antirrhinums,  sweet 
peas  and  any  other  subjects  that  are  or 
could  be  grown  to  advantage  commer- 
cially. 

What  we  suggest  is  that  the  green- 
house work  in  connection  with  the  farms 
be  treated  exactly  the  same  way  as  they 
are  treating  the  outdoor  departments; 
viz.,  hardy  shrubs,  perennials,  vege- 
tables, fruit  or  ornamental  trees  and 
hedges.  We  immensely  appreciate  the 
efforts  which  have  been  made  in  these 
departments.  The  grounds  are  an  ob- 
ject lesson  to  anyone  wishing  to  beau- 
tify grounds  and  an  education  to  land- 
scape gardeners  and  nurserymen. 

Insect  Studies  Needed. 

Another  thing  we  would  like  to  sug- 
gest is  that  the  Experimental  Farm  take 
up  what  we  can  vulgarly  call  the  bug 
question.  We  all  realize  the  necessity 
of  keeping  our  plants  and  flowers  clean 
and  free  of  insects,  and  most  florists 
know  how  to  combat  the  commoner  form 
of  insect  pests,  but  there  are  some  bugs 
and  grubs  that  the  average  florists  have 
found  impossible  to  eradicate.

THE  COST  OF  COAL 


r:fl?^^?i??^?B?^ffi?^ffiy^i??^iff^iB^^ 


A  GROWER  TALKS  TO  PUBLIC. 


No  Reduction  in  Sight. 

A  Chicago  daily  paper  is  conducting 
a  campaign  to  develop  the  facts  with 
regard  to  the  cost  of  fuel,  the  idea  be- 
ing that  a  "Peabody"  reduction  in 
prices  is  not  sufficient  to  meet  the  needs 
of  the  case.  In  the  course  of  its  in- 
vestigations it  obtained  the  following 
statement  from  a  down-state  grower  of 
greenhouse    vegetables: 

"A  large  grower  of  hothouse  vege- 
tables down-state  who  wishes  his  name 
withheld  says: 

' '  '  The  florists  and  hothouse  vege- 
table growers  will  be  hardest  hit  by  the 
exorbitant  prices  of  coal,  which,  except- 
ing labor,  is  their  heaviest  expense. 
Many  will  go  into  bankruptcy  or  experi- 
ence heavy  losses  by  allowing  green- 
houses to  freeze  up,  as  prices  of  their 
products  have  not  advanced  and  they 
cannot  possibly  make  enough  profit  to 
pay  the  increasing  cost  of  coal,  which 
means  about  100  per  cent  increase,  fig- 
uring delivery  cost. 

"Too  High  to  Meet." 

"  'Cost  at  the  mines  is  125  to  150  per 
cent  higher  than  formerly.  There  is  not 
the  faintest  hope  that  prices  of  flowers 
and  hothouse  vegetables  can  be  ad- 
vanced to  cover  the  enormous  cost  of 
fuel. 

"  'The  florist  who  spends  $3,000  a 
year  for  coal  would  have  to  raise  $6,000 
to  keep  from  freezing  up  his  establish- 
ment this  winter.  If  he  is  fortunate 
enough  to  have  $3,000  available  for  the 
additional  cost  he  may  not  lose  his  all. 
But  moat  of  them  have  extreme  diffi- 
culty meeting  their  heavy  coal  bills 
every  winter  and  cannot  see  any  way 
around  it  now. 

"  'The  problem  which  confronts  them 
is  whether  to  stick  to  it  until  the  sheriff 
takes  the  place  for  the  creditors,  or  let 
the  greenhouses  freeze  up  and  get  a  job 
in  some  factory,  thereby  losing  what 
represents  a  lifetime  saving,  now  tied 
up  in  the  business. 

"  'Boilers  and  pipes  would  be  seri- 
ously damaged,  established  trade  en- 
tirely lost  and  there  would  be  little  en- 
couragement to  start  in  again  after  the 
war.  The  best  bet  seems  to  be  to  stick 
to  it  in  the  hope  conditions  may  im 
prove  or  that  the  florist  may  be  able  to 
borrow  money,  for  he  surely  will  run 
behind  this  winter. 

Credit  Aids  Large  Growers. 

' '  '  The  large  growers  will  probably 
run  at  a  loss,  but  having  credit  will  pull 
through  and  get  on  their  feet  at  some 
later  date. 

"  'Enormous  quantities  of  coal  are 
mined  and  being  stored  for  winter; 
more  than  ever  before,  so  there  should 
be  no  trouble  taking  care  of  the  de- 
mand later  on  for  those  who  have  not 
stored  any.  Conditions  will  be  nothing 
like  they  were  last  winter.  There  is, 
however,  a  shortage  of  cars  or  motive 
power  to  haul  them,  so  that  some  mines 
are  not  able  to  run  every  day. 

"  'The   railroads   need    more    engines 


and  cars.  Enormous  farm  crops  to  move 
will  make  the  car  shortage  more  seri- 
ous later  in  the  fall. 

' '  '  Coal  prices  should  be  lowered  now 
and  train  service  improved,  to  get  peo- 
ple to  buy  and  the  mines  to  run  at  full 
capacity  before  the  roads  are  blocked 
with  bumper  farm  crops  and  troops  to 
move. 

"  'What  the  miners'  wages  may  be 
next  year  has  nothing  to  do  with  this 
year's  coal  prices.  The  prices  are  simply 
robbery  which  has  been  legalized  by  the 
establishing  of  the  maximum  price,  to 
which  all  operators  promptly  set  their 
price. 

Tells  of  Price  Jiunp. 

"  'We  have  contracted  for  eighty  to 
100  cars  a  year  for  several  years.  The 
price  was  $1.25  per  ton  for  nut  coal 
from  southern  Illinois  mines.  Last 
year  it  was  raised  to  $1.35.  This  year 
they  are  asking  $3.50  for  the  same  nut 
coal,  but  we  cannot  get  either  mine-run 
or  screenings  at  $2.75,  which  is  the  low- 
est on  southern  Illinois  coal.  The  mine 
operators  claim  as  one  excuse  that  the 
cost  of  rails  is  100  per  cent  higher.  But, 
even  so,  this  probably  would  not  neces- 
sitate raising  the  price  of  coal  more 
than  five  per  cent,  because  of  the  few 
rails  they  need  compared  with  the  en- 
tire sales.'  " 


SCABIOSA   CAUCASICA   ALBA. 

Please  inform  me  as  to  the  culture, 
blooming  season  and  keeping  quality  of 
Scabiosa  caucasica  alba. 

E.  A.  E.— 111. 


Scabiosa  caucasica  alba  is  a  white 
form  of  scabiosa.  It  is  carried  on  long 
stems,  is  a  good  perennial  and  well 
adapted  for  cutting.  S.  caucasica,  with 
light  lavender  blue  flowers  of  large  size, 
I  consider  a  more  valuable  form  com- 
mercially than  S.  caucasica  alba.  The 
average  height  of  the  plant  is  eighteen 
inches.  Tt  is  easily  grown  from  seed. 
If  started  early  in  the  year,  it  wUl 
flower  the  following  summer.  i^Give  the 
plants  well  manured  soil  for  best  re- 
sults and  allow  eighteen  inches  of  space 
between  the  plants.  C.  W. 

HEDGE  OF  LILACS. 

What  would  you  suggest  to  make  a 
hedge  of  lilacs  grow  faster?  The  lilacs 
were  planted  five  years  ago,  when  they 
were  one  to  one  and  one-half  feet  in 
height,  and  they  now  are  only  about  two 
and  one-half  feet  in  height.  Would  a 
top-dressing  of  bone  meal  and  dried 
blood  in  the  fall  be  good,  or  would  you 
prefer  mulching  with  cow  manure?  Our 
winters  are  quite  severe,  the  tempera- 
ture dropping  sometimes  to  70  degrees 
below  zero.  A.  R.  S.— Can. 


A  top-dressing  of  cow  manure  in  the 
fall  would  be  much  better  than  one  of 
bone  meal  and  dried  blood.  I  cannot 
understand  why  your  plants  have  not 
grown  faster,  unless  they  are  in  poor 
soil.  Lilacs  like  rich  soil  and  an  an- 
nual top-dressing  of  manure,  and  plants 
set  out  five  years  ago  should  now  be  not 
less  than  five  to  six  feet  high.       C.  W.

TOMATOES   UNDER   GLASS 


A  Treatise  on  a  Subject  of  Wartime  Significance 


TOn? 


IWIWBIUiWIW** 


HE  subject  is  one  which  it 
might  be  well  for  many- 
florists  to  consider.  The  de- 
creased demand  for  flowers, 
or  the  comparatively^  low, 
prices  obtained  in  oroer  to 
get  rid  of  them,  as  compared 
with  the  cost  of  production,  must  make 
thoughtful  men  consider  what  is  best 
to  do  in  order  to  keep  operating  their 
greenhouses,  and  at  the  same  time  make 
it  pay  to  do  so.  As  flowers  are  more  or 
less  a  luxury,  it  follows  that  if  this  war 
lasts  for  any  considerable  time  the 
tendency  will  be  that  a  further  decrease 
in  demand  for  flowers  must  be  the  re- 
sult. That  being  so,  it  follows  that  the 
growers  will  be  forced  to  shut  down 
parts  of  their  ranges,  or  grow  something 
else  that  is  not  a  luxury,  for  in  these 
days  of  high  prices  of  all  foodstuffs 
greenhouse  tomatoes  are  just  as  cheap 
as  most  other  things. 

I  make  this  plea,  gentlemen,  in  the 
hope  that  instead  of  closing  down  part 
of  your  range  you  will  utilize  that 
space,  in  so  far  as  it  is  possible  for  you 
to  do  so.  I  feel  sure  that  you  will  have 
no  cause  for  regret;  on  the  contrary, 
you  will  feel  a  great  measure  of  satis- 
faction in  the  fact  that  you  are  really 
doing  war  work,  even  though  the  profits 
may  not  be  so  high  as  you  have  been 
accustomed  to  in  growing  other  crops. 

The  Importance  of  Bight  Variety. 

The  general  public  has  acquired  such 
3.  liking  for  tomatoes  that  the  demand 
for  them  the  year  around  is  on  the  in- 
crease, and  anything  which  the  public 
desires  that  can  be  home  grown  is  al- 
ways much  more  appreciated,  not  only 
from  a  patriotic  standpoint  at  this  time 
in  our  history,  but  also  because  it 
reaches  them  in  that  fresh  condition 
which  is  so  desirable  in  fruits  or  vege- 
tables. The  question  which  naturally 
arises  to  one's  mind  as  a  grower  is,  Will 
it  pay  to  grow  them?  The  answer  is 
found  in  the  demand — anything  that 
there  is  a  demand  for  will  surely  pay, 
providing  the  crop  is  grown  properly. 
Good  prices  are  obtained  throughout  the 
period  that  it  is  possible  to  have  them, 
and  if  proper  attention  is  given  to 
every  detail  I  have  no  hesitation  what- 
ever in  saying  that  they  pay,  and  pay 
well. 

The  variety  grown  has  much  to  do 
with  whether  they  pay  or  not.  The  To- 
ronto market,  I  understand,  calls  for  a 
small  fruit,  whereas  the  Montreal 
market  is  supplied  with  fruit  of 
good  size.  My  experience  in  testing  out 
varieties  has  proven  to  my  satisfaction, 
at  least,  that  there  are  few  varieties 
worth  growing,  and  for  the  Montreal 
market  only  one,  namely,  Livingston's 
Globe.  This  variety  has  an  ideal  habit 
of  growth,  and  the  leaf  stalks  are  far 
enough  apart,  offsetting  the  necessity  of 
removing  any  of  them  to  admit  light, 
while  the  foliage  itself  is  not  too  heavy; 


An  address  by  A.  H.  Walker,  of  Macdonald 
College,  Quebec,  Can.,  delivered  at  the  conven- 
tion of  the  Canadian  Horticultural  Association  at 
Montreal,  August  8,  1917. 

and  last,  but  not  least,  it  is  a  heavy 
cropper,  the  fruit  being  most  regular  in 
sh«pe,  •v'kth  but  few  small  fruits  that 
cannot  be  shipped.  "With  other  varie- 
ties tried  out,  the  amount  of  waste  in 
this  respect  was  altogether  out  of  pro- 
portion, even  with  so-called  good  forcing 
varieties.  On  this  point  I  should  say 
that  while  I  do  not  wish  to  appear 
''Kaiseric,"  it  seems  to  me  that  if  one 
variety  is  so  much  better  than  another

both,  it  is  up  to  the  growers,  no  matter 
where  they  are  situated,  to  grow  the 
variety  that  nets  them  the  largest  re- 
turns, irrespective  of  what  the  market 
calls  for.  The  markets  will  fall  in  line 
when  there  is  nothing  else  left  for  them 
to  do. 

Profits  per  Square  Foot. 

Eegarding  the  returns  per  square  foot 
of  bench  area,  I  may  say  that  records 
were  kept  for  several  years  at  Mac- 
donald College  to  ascertain  the  produc- 
tiveness of  varieties,  and  here  again, 
let  me  say,  Globe  led  them  all  by  a 
handsome  margin.  We  continued  to 
keep  records  from  houses  planted  en- 
tirely with  Globe  and  found  that  one 
house,  producing  two  crops  on  the  same 
soil  during  the  year,  yielded  a  total  of 
over  3,600  pounds.  The  bench  area 
devoted  to  the  crop  was  716  square 
feet;  therefore  the  weight  per 
square  foot  was  over  five  pounds. 
The  prices  obtained  during  the  sea- 
son fluctuated,  according  to  the 
time  of  year  and  due  to  the  influence 
that  imported  southern  fruit  has  on  the 
market  for  a  few  weeks,  but,  notwith- 


standing  this,  good  prices  are  obtained. 
For  the  fall  and  winter  crop  this  year, 
commencing  the  second  week  in  October 
and  lasting  until  the  second  week  in 
January,  the  wholesale  prices  obtained 
ran  from  25  to  40  cents  per  pound,  the, 
bulk  realizing  25  cents,  while  the  tail. 
end  realized  from  30  to  40  cents.  The 
prices  obtained  for  the  spripg  and  early 
summer  crop,  pf  which  we  usually  ship 
from  the  end  of  April  until  well  into 
July,  usually  start  at  25  cents,  which 
price  holds  well  until  the  southern  fruit 
comes  in,  when  the  price  drops  to  20  and 
even  15  cents  for  a  couple  of  weeks, 
then  soars  up  again  to  20,  22 1^,  25  and 
27  cents. 

At  these  prices  the  gross  earnings 
per  square  foot  of  bench  for  the  two 
crops  will  be  $1  or  over.  Deduct  from 
this  ten  per  cent  commission,  express  at 
35  cents  per  hundred  pounds,  the  cost  of 
crate,  baskets  and  wrapping  paper,  and 
you  still  have  from  75  to  80  cents  per 
square  foot. 

Now,  gentlemen,  I  give  you  these  fig- 
ures to  show  the  possibilities  of  tomato 
growing,  and  I  would  like  to  add  that 
I  know  these  figures  can  be  improved 
upon  by  the  commercial  grower,  as  it 
is  his  business  to  grow  everything  to  the 
highest  perfection.  He  puts  his  time 
on  the  crop,  while  with  men  in  my 
position  the  growing  is  done  amid  multi- 
tudinous daily  interruptions. 

The  Three  Crops  tn  Canada. 

Having  dealt  so  far  with  the  possibili- 
ties of  tomato  growing,  I  will  now  en- 
deavor to  outline  the  actual  growing,  for 
the  benefit  of  those  who  have  but  little 
or  no  experience  in  handling  this  plant. 

While  it  is  not  advisable  to  attempt 
to  keep  up  a  supply  of  tomatoes  the 
year  around  for  reasons  I  will  mention 
later,  it  is  quite  possible  to  supply  the 
market  from  October  until  the  middle  of 
January;  then  again  from  the  end  of 
April  until  the  end  of  August.  In  order 
to  do  this,  three  sowings  are  made. 
The  first  sowing  is  made  June  25,  the 
second  October  25  and  the  third  on  or 
about  December  20.  The  plants  from 
the  June  sowing  will  continue  in  fruit 
from  October  until  January,  as  before 
stated.  In  the  meantime  the  plants  from 
the  October  sowing  are  being  grown 
along  in  pots  and  as  the  growth  is  slow 
at  that  time  of  year  these  plants  will 
average  ten  inches  in  height  by  the 
second  week  in  January,  when  the  June- 
sown  plants  are  finished.  These  plants 
are  removed,  the  benches  manured,  dug 
over  and  replanted.  Thus  the  house  is 
kept  occupied  by  the  first  two  sowings. 
The  plants  from  the  third  sowing  can 
be  grown  along  in  pots  until  space  is 
available;  for  instance,  after  the  violet 
crop  is  finished. 

It  will  be  noticed  that  there  is  an  in- 
terval between  the  middle  of  January 
and  the  end  of  April  during  which  no

fruit  is  being  picked,  and  just  at  a  time 
when  high  prices  could  be  obtained.  In 
order  to  have  plants  in  bearing  covering 
that  period,  the  fruit  would  have  to  be 
set  during  the  darkest  months  of  the 
year,  November,  December  and  January. 
The  weather  conditions  during  that 
period  render  it  impossible  to  obtain  a 
setting  of  fruit  in  sufficient  quantity  to 
make  it  pay,  as  experiments  conducted 
at  Macdonald  College  proved  beyond 
doubt. 
Treatment  of  Fall  and  Winter  Crops. 

In  handling  plants  for  fall  and  winter 
crops  the  seeds  are  sown  in  flats  of 
sandy  soil,  June  25,  as  before  stated. 
When,  large  enough  the  seedlings  are 
pricked  off,  four  inches  apart,  in  flats  of 
good,  loamy  soil,  and  shaded  until  estab-. 
lished.  The  plants  then  are  exposed  to 
full  sunlight  in  xin  airy  house,  the  plants 
having  ample  r»om  in  these  flats  until 
August  1.  A  wteek  at  least  before  that 
the  spring  and  summer  crop  will  have 
finished,  giving  ample  time  to  empty  and 
refill  the  benches,  when  planting  can  be 
done  direct  from  the  flats,  thus  saving 
time  and  material  in  potting  and  caring 
for  them  while  in  pots.  Plants  from  the 
other  sowings  have  to  be  grown  along 
in  pots  until  space  is  available  for  them, 
and  we  have  found  that  3-inch  pots  are 
large  enough  to  carry  the  October-sown 
plants  until  planting  takes  place  the 
second  week  in  January;  while  the  De- 
cembei^sown  plants,  which  are  to  re- 
place violets,  will  require  4%-inch  pots 
to  carry  them  in  good  shape. 

For  bench  soil  a  good  sandy  loam  per- 
haps is  best,  but  experience  has  shown 
me  that  a  good  crop  can  be  grown  on  a 
variety  of  soils.  One  year  we  had  to 
use  ordinary  soil  from  the  field, 
which,  when  watered,  ran  together 
like  cement.  On  another  occasion 
two  of  the  best  crops  we  have 
had  were  grown  on  soil  which  had 
grown  carnations  for  two  years. 
I  therefore  feel  safe  in  saying  that  if 
good  drainage  is  provided  and  all  other 
details  in  the  growing  are  attended  to, 
any  variety  of  soil  will  do,  with  the 
possible  exception  of  heavy  clay.  In 
filling  the  benches  with  fresh  soil  the 
grower  should  not  add  too  much  manure 
or  fertilizer,  as  this  is  apt  to  encourage 
too  rank  a  growth,  which  is  not  desirable 
in  the  early  stages  of  growth.  Feeding 
can  be  quite  freely  given  after  the 
plants  have  set  their  fruit. 

Benches,  Spacing  and  Staking. 

With  all  fruiting  crops  the  maximum 
amount  of  sunlight  is  most  essential, 
especially  during  the  time  of  year  when 
the  day  is  short,  the  sun  is  low  and 
roofs  are  apt  to  be  coated  with  frost 
and  snow.  The  nearer  the  plants  are 
to  the  glass  in  reason,  the  better  are 
the  light  conditions  obtained.  This,'  of 
course,  will  depend  to  a  large  extent  on 
the  type  of  house  used.  In  an  up-to-date 
house  of  the  u-bar  type  the  ground 
bench  will  be  quite  suitable.  In  ridge 
and  furrow  houses  raised  benches  would 
be  preferable,  especially  for  the  spring 
and  summer  crop,  as  the  setting  of  the 
early  trusses  of  fruit  takes  place  during 
February  and  the  early  part  of  March. 
Any  type  of  bench  will  suit  the  other 
two  crops,  as  the  setting  of  fruit  takes 
place  during  fine  weather. 

In  order  to  arrive  at  something 
definite  in  the  matter  of  distances  be- 
tween plants,  experiments  were  con- 
ducted at  the  college  for  several  years,

CHARLES  H.  TOTTY. 

npO  those  who  know  Totty  only  through  his  writings  in  The  Eeview,  the  portrait  will 
1  seem  characteristic  because  of  the  environment — a  house  of  fine  mums — but  to 
those  who  also  know  the  man  from  association  with  him  it  will  seem  characteristic 
because  it  shows  him  with  his  coat  off.  For  Totty 's  coat  always  is  off  in  the  figurative 
sense — there  is  no  more  indefatigable  worker  for  the  general  welfare  of  the  trade. 
Because  of  his  experience  and  ability  he  is  to  be  found  wherever  the  work  is  heaviest, 
for  flower  show  or  trade  society — if  modesty  prevents  his  volunteering  for  some  con- 
spicuous service  he  is  sure  to  be  drafted.  Born  at  Shropshire,  England,  in  1873,  edu- 
cated as  a  private  gardener  and  in  business  for  himself  at  Madison,  N.  J.,  since  1903, 
he  is  unusually  well  equipped  to  serve  the  trade,  and  his  friends  plan  to  place  him  in 
the  presidency  of  the  S.  A.  F.  for  1918. 


the  results  showing  that,  from  a  commer- 
cial standpoint,  plants  spaced  eighteen 
to  twenty  inches  apart  each  way  gave 
the  largest  yield  per  square  foot.  In 
planting  the  fall  and  winter  crop  set  the 
plants  eighteen  inches  apart,  as  excel- 
lent weather  conditions  obtain  during 
the  setting  period.  With  the  spring  and 
early  summer  crop  set  the  plants  twenty 
inches  apart,  on  account  of  the  less 
favorable  conditions  during  the  early 
period  of  their  growth. 

Staking  should  be  done  as  soon  as 
possible  after  planting,  for  when  the 
plants  are  small  the  work  is  more  rap- 
idly accomplished.  At  the  college  we 
use  5/6  wire  stakes  clipped  to  two  longi- 
tudinal wires,  these  giving  an  excellent 
support.  Bamboo  canes  have  also  been 
tried  out,  thinking  that  they  would  be 


strong  enough  without  the  support  of 
the  middle  wire,  but  they  doubled  up 
under  the  weight  of  fruit.  We  have 
never  tried  to  support  them  with  binder 
twine  or  other  strong  cord,  but  it  seems 
to  me  that  if  four  longitudinal  wires 
were  stretched,  binder  twine  would  do 
nicely.  One  advantage  this  form  of 
staking  would  have  over  any  other 
would  be  the  rapidity  with  which  a 
house  could  be  cleaned  out.  The  strings 
would  simply  be  cut  and  everything 
thrown  out,  whereas  in  using  stakes  all 
ties  holding  the  plants  have  to  be  cut 
and  clips  taken  off  and  wires  removed.

to  do  in  order  to  keep  operating  their 
greciiliouses,  and  at  tlie  same  time  make 
it  pay  to  do  so.  As  flowers  are  more  or 
less  a  luxury,  it  follows  that  if  this  war 
lasts  lor  any  considerable  time  the 
tendency  will  be  that  a  further  decrease 
in  demand  for  flowers  must  be  the  re- 
sult. That  lieing  so,  it  follows  that  the 
irrowers  will  be  forced  to  shnt  down 
parts  of  their  ranges,  or  grow  something 
else  that  is  not  ii  luxury,  for  in  these

to  do  so.  T  fovl  suri'  that  you  will  have

<loing  war  work,  even  though  the  profits 
may  not  be  so  high  as  you  have  been 
accustomed  to  in  growing  other  crops. 

The  Importance  of  Right  Variety. 

The  general  public  has  acipiired  such 
a  liking  for  tomatoes  that  the  demand 
for  fhem  tli(>  year  around  is  on  Die  in- 
crease, .-tnd  anything  which  the  ])ublic 
desiics  tli.'it  can  be  home  grown  is  al- 
ways much  more  ajiprccjated,  not  only 
from  a  jiatriotic  standpoint  at  this  time 
in  our  history,  but  also  because  it 
reaches  them  in  that  fresh  condition 
which  is  so  d(>siiabl(>  in  I'l-uits  or  vege- 
tables. The  "luestion  which  naturally 
irises  to  one's  mind  .'is  a  grmvi  r  is,  ^\'ill 
it  jiay  to  grow  tliem.'  The  answer  is 
found  in  the  deniand — :uiything  that 
there  is  ;i  lU'inand  for  will  snrely  pay, 
]iro\iding  the  cro|»  is  grown  ])ro[ierly. 
Good  ]>rices  are  obtained  throughout  the 
]>eii<ii|  that  it  is  ]mssibh>  to  have  them, 
and  if  proper  attention  is  given  to 
every  detail  1  lia\e  no  liesitation  what-

well.  ■  ■  ■ 

The  variety  grown  has  nnich  to  do

both,  it  is  up  to  the  growers,  no  matter 
where  they  are  situated,  to  grow  the 
\ariety  that  nets  them  the  largest  re-

i-alls  for.  The  markets  will  fall  in  line 
when  there  is  nothing  else  left  for  them 
to   do. 

Profits  per  Square  Foot. 

l?<\garding  the  returns  jier  square  foot 
of  ben(di  area,  I  may  say  that  records 
were  kept  for  several  years  at  Mac- 
donald  College  to  ascertain  the  ]iroduc- 
tiveness  of  varieties,  and  here  again, 
let  me  say,  Globe  led  them  all  by  a 
handsome  margin.  Wc  continued  to 
keep  records  from  houses  jdanted  en- 
tirely with  Globe  and  found  that  one 
house,  producing  two  crops  on  the  same 
soil  during  the  year,  yielded  a  total  of 
over  ;),6UU  jiounds.  The  bench  area 
devoted  to  the  crop  was  71G  square 
feet:  therefore  the  weight  jur 
sipi;  re  foot  was  over  five  i)Ounds. 
The  jirices  obtained  during  the  sea- 
son lluctuated,  according  to  the 
time  of  year  and  due  to  the  influence 
that  imported  southern  fruit  has  on  the 
market  for  a   few  weeks,  but,  notwith- 


standing this,  good  prices  are  obtained. 
For  the  fall  and  winter  crop  this  year, 
commencing  the  second  week  in  October 
and  lasting  until  the  second  week  in 
January,  the  wliolesale  prices  obtained 
ran  from  L'5  to  40  cents  per  pound,  the 
bulk  realizing  25  cents,  while  the  tail 
end  realized  from  30  to  40  cnits.  The 
prices  obtained  for  the  spring  and  early 
summer  crop,  of  which  we  usually  ship 
from  the  end  of  April  until  well  into 
July,  usually  start  at  25  cents,  which 
price  holds  well  until  the  southern  fruit 
comes  in,  when  the  price  drops  to  20  and 
even  15  cents  for  a  couple  of  weeks, 
then  soars  up  again  to  20,  22V.,  25  and 
27  cents. 

At  these  prices  the  gross  earnings 
per  square  foot  of  bench  for  the  two 
crops  will  be  $1  or  over.  Deduct  from 
this  ten  per  cent  commission,  express  at 
35  cents  per  hundred  pounds,  the  cost  of 
crate,  baskets  and  wrapping  paper,  and 
you  still  have  from  75  to  f<0  cents  per 
square  foot. 

Now,  gentlemen,  I  give  you  these  fig- 
ures to  show  the  jjossibilities  of  tomato 
growing,  and  I  would  like  to  add  that 
I  know  tliese  figures  can  be  im[iroved 
upon  by  the  commercial  grower,  as  it 
is  his  business  to  grow  everything  to  the 
highest  ]>erfection.  He  puts  his  time 
on  the  crop,  wliile  with  men  in  my 
])Osition  the  growing  is  done  amid  multi- 
tudinous daily  interruptions. 

The  Three  Crops  in  Canada. 

Having  dealt  so  far  with  the  jiossibili- 
ties  of  tomato  growing,  I  will  now  en- 
deavor to  outline  the  actual  growing,  for 
the  benefit  of  those  who  have  but  little 
or  no  e.\|)erience  in  h.andling  this  ])lant. 

\Vhile  it  is  not  advisable  to  attempt 
to  keej>  up  a  supply  of  tomatoes  the 
year  around  for  reasons  I  will  mention 
later,  it  is  quite  possible  to  supply  the 
market  from  Octolier  until  the  middle  of 
January;  then  again  from  the  end  of 
April  until  the  end  of  August.  In  order 
to  do  this,  three  sowings  are  made. 
The  first  sowing  is  made  June  25,  the 
second  October  25  and  the  third  on  or 
about  December  20.  The  jdants  from 
the  June  sowing  will  continue  in  fruit 
from  October  until  January,  as  before 
stated.  In  the  meantime  the  plants  from 
the  October  sowing  are  being  grown 
along  in  jiots  and  as  the  growth  is  slow 
at  that  time  of  year  these  plants  will 
average  ten  inches  in  height  by  the 
second  week  in  January,  wIhmi  the  June- 
sown  plants  are  finished.  These  jilants 
are  removed,  the  benches  manured,  dug 
over  and  reid.-iiited.  Thus  the  house  is 
kept  occupied  by  the  first  two  sowiu'Ts. 
The  jilants  t'rnni  tl'c  tl'ird  sowing  can 
lie  grown  along  in  jiots  until  space  is

fruit  is  boiiiff  picked,  and  just  at  a  time 
when  hij;i'  piitos  could  bo  obtained.  In 
order  to  have  ])lants  in  bearing  covering 
that  i)eriod,  the  fruit  wouhl  liave  to  be 
set  during  the  darkest  months  of  the 
year  November,  December  and  January. 
Tlie  weather  conditions  iluring  that 
perioil  render  it  impossible  to  obtain  a 
setting  of  fruit  in  sullicient  quantity  to 
make  it  ]>ay,  as  experiments  conducted 
at  Macdouald  College  proved  beyond 
doubt. 
Treatment  of  Fall   and  Winter  Crops. 

In  liaiulling  plants  for  fall  and  winter 
croi>s  the  seeds  are  sown  in  Hats  of 
sandy  soil,  June  25,  as  before  stated. 
When  large  enough  the  seedlings  are 
pricked  off,  four  inches  apart,  in  flats  of 
good,  loamy  soil,  and  shaded  until  estab- 
lished. The  plants  then  are  exposed  to 
full  sunlight  in  an  airy  house,  the  plants 
liaviug  ample  room  in  these  flats  until 
August  ].  A  week  at  least  before  that 
the  spring  and  summer  crop  will  have 
flnislied,  giving  ample  time  to  empty  and 
refill  the  benches,  when  planting  can  be 
done  direct  from  the  flats,  thus  saving 
time  and  material  in  i)otting  and  caring 
for  them  while  in  pots.  Plants  from  the 
other  sowings  have  to  be  grown  along 
in  pots  until  space  is  available  for  them, 
and  we  have  found  that  3-inch  pots  are 
large  enough  to  carry  the  October-sown 
plants  until  ])lanting  takes  place  the 
second  week  in  January;  while  the  De- 
cembei»-sown  plants,  which  arc  to  re- 
place violets,  will  require  414-inch  pots 
to  carry  them  in  good  shaj^e. 

For  bench  soil  a  good  sandy  loam  per- 
haps is  best,  but  experience  has  shown 
me  that  a  good  crop  can  be  grown  on  a 
variety  of  soils.  One  year  wo  hail  to 
use  ordinary  soil  from  the  fi«dd, 
which,  when  watered,  ran  togetiier 
like  cement.  On  another  occasion 
two  of  the  best  crops  we  have 
had  were  grown  on  soil  which  had 
grown  carnations  for  two  years. 
I  therefore  feel  safe  in  saying  that  if 
good  drainage  is  provided  and  all  other 
details  in  the  growing  are  attended  to, 
any  variety  of  soil  will  do,  with  the 
possible  exception  of  heavy  clay.  In 
filling  tiie  l)enclies  with  fresh  soil  the 
grower  should  not  add  too  much  nuuiure 
or  fertilizer,  as  this  is  apt  to  encourage 
too  rank  a  growth,  which  is  not  desirable 
in  the  early  stages  of  growth.  I'eeding 
can  l>e  quite  freely  given  after  the 
plants  have  .set  their  fruit. 

Benches,  Spacing  and  Staking. 

With  all  fruiting  crops  the  maximum 
amount  of  sunlight  is  most  CPsential. 
especially  during  the  time  of  year  when 
the  day  is  short,  the  s>in  is  low  aui! 
roofs  are  apt  to  be  coated  with  frost 
aiul  snow.  The  nearer  tht^  jdants  are 
to  the  glass  in  reason,  tlH>  better  are 
the  light  conditions  obtained.  This,  of 
course,  will  depi'ud  to  a  large  extent  on 
the  type  of  house  use<l.  In  an  up-to-date 
lious<>  (if  the  u  bar  type  the  ground 
lieiuli  will  be  (piite  suitable.  In  ridge 
and  furrow  houses  raised  benches  would 
be  preferable,  esjiecially  for  the  spring 
and  summer  croji,  as  the  setting  of  the 
oarly  trusses  of  fruit  takes  place  during 
February  and  the  early  part  of  March. 
Any  type  of  bench  will  suit  the  other 
two  crops,  as  the  setting  of  fruit  lakes 
place  during  fine  wenliier. 

In  order  to  arrive  at  something 
definite  in  the  m;itter  of  distances  be- 
tween plants,  experiiru'iits  were  •■(in- 
ducted at   the  college   for  several  years.

Yellow  Maxguerites. 

The  yellow  marguerite  has  become  a 
popular  flower  in  some  of  the  large  mar- 
kets the  last  few  years  and  as  the  win- 
ter culture  becomes  better  understood 
more  florists  are  trying  the  crop. 
WJiile  anyone  can  bloom  marguerites  in 
spting  or  early  summer,  only  a  few  have 
as  yet  had  f dll  i^uocess  with  them,,  as  a 
winter  CB|{). 

The  idea,  held  for  yearp,  that  old 
plqiits,  must  bfi  earned'  Q^r  from  year 
to  year  is  largely  cixplo^lja.  The  best 
results  are  now  had  from  young  plants 
propagated  in  late  spring  and  planted 
out  in  July  or  August,  in  solid  beds. 
Some  growerjj"ohly  allow  twelve  inches 
each  way  between  their  plants,  but  1 
tliink  fifteen  inches  is  better. 

There  are  more  uncertainties  in  grow- 
ing yellow  than  white  marguerites. 
Apparently  healthy  plants  may  never 
prodii^e  a  flower,  no  iaatter  h^  much 
they  grow;  others  wHl  give  flowers  of 
inferior  quality  and  careful  W»guing  and 
selection  are  necessarjr  to  get. '*ny thing 
like  a  uniform  ero^.  |  If  leaf  miners 
attack  the  plants,  spray  with  a  nicotine 
solution. 

Schizantliiis. 

The  schizanthus  makes  one  of  the 
most  attractive  of  spring  pot  plants. 
S.  Wisetonensis  and  improvements  on 
it  should  be  sown  now,  where  handsome 
plants  are  wanted  for  Easter  or  the 
spring  exhibitions.  Sow  the  seed 
thinly;  it  will  germinate  quickly.  Do 
not  allow  the  seedlings  to  become 
drawn.  Prick  off  into  flats  and  later 
pot  off  singly.  The  large  specimens 
seen  at  the  big  eastern  flower  shows 
each  spring  are  grown  from  single  seed- 
lings, but  have  one  or  two  pinchings 
and  are  kept  potted  along,  using  a  rich 
soil  for  the  two  final  pottings. 

Schizanthus  needs  a  cold  house;  one 
not  over  45  degrees  at  night  in  winter 
suits  it  best. 

Show  Pelargoniums. 

Plants  laid  on  their  sides  outdoors 
about  the  end  of  June  should  now  have 
well  ripened  wood  of  a  nutty  brown 
color.  These  can  now  be  pruned  back 
quite  hard  and  watered  moderately. 
When  they  have  started  to  break 
nicely  they  can  be  shaken  out,  have 
the  longer  roots  cut  back  and  be  ^re- 
potted in  pots  a  couple  of  sizes  smaller 
than  they  have  been  flowered  in. 

If  young  plants  are  wanted,  save 
some  of  the  tops  when  pruning  back 
and  place  them  in  flats  or  pans  of  sand 
in  a  coldframe,  where  they  will  root  in 
a  few  weeks  and  can  be  grown  along 
to  flower  in  5-inch  or  6-inch  pots  next 
spring. 

Repairs. 

While  the  weather  is  extremely  warm 
and  it  is  almost  dangerous  to  work  in 
the  greenhouses  for  long  periods,  some 
attention  should  be  given  to  the  boilers, 
and  any  necessary  cleaning  and  repair- 
ing should  be  attended  to.  It  is  neces- 
sary to  do  this  work  now  and  not  to  keep 


putting  it  off.  Firing  may  be  necessary 
within  six  weeks,  in  spite  of  the  present 
torrid   conditions. 

Painting  and  glazing  should  be  done 
when  the  weather  is  suitable;  there  is 
nothing  like  getting  the  roofs  tight  now. 
Perhaps  you  have  a  lot  of  hotbed  sashes 
which  nlped  painting  and  glazing.    Why 
not  haul  <theMp  into  a  cool  shed  and  do  ^ 
the  needed  tjjwrk  now!    j^d  hp\!i|  if,bQU<?  ' 
the  coai  sujji)lyf    This  jfi  iWhat  wof*|i4p 
many  of  us  now,  but  l^e  outl(]it||(.is  "bet-  ■ 
ter  than  it  was.     Lay  in  all  zhe  cdal 
you  need  now  if  at  all  possible.    It  is 
going  to  be  hard  to  secure  it  during  the 
coming  fall  and  winter. 

Buddleia  Maguiflca. 

The  beautiful,  floriferous  and  ex- 
tremely useful  hardy  shrub,  Buddleia 
magnifica,  is  commencing  to  bloom.  It 
is  of  easy  culture,  and  has  with  us  with- 
stood 15  degrees  below  zero  without 
protection.  Best  results  are  had  by  cut- 
ting plants  down  to  the  ground  each 
spring.  If  the  cutting  back  is  done  in 
the  fall  the  plants  are  pretty  .sure  to  • 
die.  The  long,  lavender-mauve  racemes 
are  sometimes  eighteen  inches  in  length 
and  stand  erect.  Plants  under  quite 
ordinary  conditions  will  bloom  from 
early  August  until  mid-October  and  the 
flowers  are  sweet  scented,  well  adapted 
for  cutting  and  splendid  in  floral  de- 
signs. 

The  two  best  Buddleias,  both  forms 
of  variabilis,  are  magnifica  and  superba, 
but  the  former  I  find  to  be  far  the  more 
floriferous.  Propagation  by  either  soft 
or  hard-wood  cuttings  is  quite  simple.

A  NEW  THOUGHT. 

Irwin  Bertermann  believes  that  one 
of  the  things  for  the  Florists'  Telegraph 
Delivery  to  do  is  to  let  every  one  of  the 
young  men  going  abroad  as  soldiers 
know  that  the  Florists'  Telegraph  De- 
livery will  take  care  of  their  needs 
while  gone.  Of  course,  many  of  the 
soldiers  will  not  care  to  buy  flowers, 
but,  again,  thousands  of  the  Sammies, 
officers  in  particular,  arc  easily  able 
to  buy  flowers.  All  of  them  will  leave 
behind  loved  ones  whom  tliey  will  wish 
to  remember  upon  different  occasions. 
Why  not  have  every  member  of  the  F. 
T.  I),  impress  upon  the  thousands  going 
abroad  that  their  florist  friends  will 
take  care  of  orders  for  their  sweet- 
hearts, wives  and,  in  particular,  their 
Christmas  orders?  It  is  doubtful  if  a 
more  suitable  present  could  be  sent  hero 


in  this  country  than  a  beautiful  lot  of 
flowers  as  a  remembrance  from  the  Eu- 
ropean trenches.  Let  the  members  of 
the  Florists'  Telegraph  Delivery  make 
a  united  effort  so  that  the  fact  will  be 
impressed  upon  the  minds  of  the  young 
men  before  they  leave  on  their  noble 
mission. 

The  following  is  the  letter  used  by 
the  Bertermann  Bros.  Co.,  of  Indian- 
apolis, in  the  official  paper  at  Fort  Ben- 
jamin Harrison,  reminding  the  soldiers 
of  the  above: 

TO  OUR  NOBLE  SAMMIES  AND  FRIENDS. 
.\rrangements  are  being  rapidly  completed  (or 
the  leading  florists  in  France  to  relay  orders  to 
this  country  and  to  give  particular  care  to  the 
wishes  of  those  carrying  forward  the  Stars  and 
Stripes.  There  will  be  occasions,  particularly 
tlie  holidays,  when  the  services  of  the  Florists' 
Telegraph  Delivery  will  prove  invaluable.  We 
nre  at  this  time  booking  orders  and  carefully 
laying  them  aside  for  the  coming  year,  so  that

Casket  Cover  of  Orchids  and  Valley^  by  Grimm  &  GorIy»  St.  Louis,  Mo. 


any  flower  messages  to  the  loved  ones  at  home 
will  be  given  unusual  attention.  Any  florist  in 
the  larger  cities  of  France  will  relay  your  order. 
We  will  be  pleased  to  book  it  at  this  time  or

CASKET  COVER  OF  ORCHIDS. 

Summer  may  come  and  business  may 
go,  but  funerals  go  on  forever. 

Thus  might  run  the  song  of  the  flo- 
rist, for  funeral  work  is  the  mainstay 
of  the  business,  in  season  and  out. 
when  there  is  little  else  to  create  a  de- 
mand for  flowers,  some  prominent  man 
dies  and  the  florist  profits  thereby. 

Grimm  &  Gorly,  of  St.  Louis,  will 
vouch  for  this  statement.  Kecently  a 
wealthy  St.  Louis  man  died  and  his 
family  ordered,  among  other  designs, 
the  casket  cover  of  orchids  and  valley 
shown  in  the  accompanying  illustration. 
The  family  order  ran  into  thousands  of 
dollars.  The  designer  who  made  the 
cover  is  Henry  Duringburg  and  he  re- 
ceived many  compliments  on  his  work, 
both  from  the  trade  and  the  family  of 
the  man  whose  casket  it  covered.  It 
was  said  to  have  been  one  of  the  hand- 
somest and  most  expensive  pieces  ever 
made  in  St.  Louis. 


'NOBODY  HOME. 


It  develops  that  the  pronouncement 
of  the  secretary  of  the  F.  T.  D.  in  the 
matter  of  the  credit  of  retail  florists, 
which  appeared  in  The  Review  for 
August  2,  grew  out  of  an  incident  which 
well  illustrates  the  heedlessness  with 
which  some  persons  conduct  their  busi- 
ness. It  appears  that  a  member  of  the 
Florists'  Telegraph  Delivery  Associa- 
tion had  occasion  to  send  an  order  for 
about  $100  to  be  executed  by  a  member 


in  another  city.  The  receiving  member 
wired  back  for  the  money  before  he 
would  fill  the  order,  utterly  forgetful 
of  the  fact  that  the  principal  reason  for 
the  organization  of  the  F.  T.  D.  was  to 
guarantee  credits  between  its  members. 
It  simply  was  a  case  of  ' '  nobody  home. ' ' 
The  further  development  of  the  ex- 
change business  between  florists  seems 
to  call  for  more  prompt  attention  to  the 
payment  for  flowers  ordered.  One  large 
firm  which  practices  the  Golden  Eule 
fills  orders  for  other  florists  without 
questioning  their  credit.  It  now  has 
on  its  books,  so  its  president  says,  about 
100  cases  of  overdue  accounts  from 
florists  who  are  not  members  of  the 
F.  T.  D.  and  who  do  not  respond  to 
statements  and  letters.  It  is  not  pos- 
sible for  the  average  florist  to  have  at 
hand  credit  information  on  the  standing 
of  every  florist  throughout  the  United 
States  and  to  secure  the  prompt  filling 
of  orders  demands  that  the  trade  be 
prompt  in  paying  the  bills.  It  should  be 
like  a  matter  of  honor. 


ACCESSORIES  TO  THE  FRONT! 


Interest   Flower    Buyer   In    Container. 

Each  year  the  accessories  of  the  re- 
tailer cut  a  bigger  figure  in  his  busi- 
ness— what  formerly  were  sales  of 
flowers  and  plants  only,  stock  unaccom- 
panied by  paid-for  containers,  now  in 
many  cases  are  combined  salds  of  flow- 
ers and  baskets,  or  of  plants  in  pre- 
tentious potware.  The  sale  of  stock 
and  receptacle,  of  course,  is  a  thing  to 
strive  hard  for,  inasmuch  as  two  profits 
are  involved.  Another  nice  point  is 
that  a  smart  basket,  vase  or  bowl  has 
the     happy    effect     of     enhancing    the 


"show"  value  of  the  stock,  thereby 
providing  the  retailer  with  a  leeway  for 
a  much-needed  "war  tax."  A  third 
factor  not  to  be  ignored  is  that  earnings 
on  basket  and  vase  sales  represent  an 
insurance,  so  to  speak,  on  repeat  orders. 
It  is  obvious  that  the  more  baskets  and 
roses  the  florist  sells  the  more  frequent 
will  be  the  repeat  orders  for  stock  to 
keep  the  receptacles  filled.  Some  of  the 
painstaking  retailers  even  circularize 
those  patrons  who,  as  the  sales  file 
shows,  have  purchased  baskets  or  vases 
that  are  likely  to  be  permanent  adorn- 
ments in  the  home. 

Dull  Time  Right  Time  To  Work  Hard. 

It  is  during  the  summer,  when  flowers 
do  not  have  so  strong  an  appeal  to  the 
buyer,  that  the  unique  container  plays 
a  big  part.  The  novel  conceits  of  the 
basket  and  vase  makers  serve  splendidly 
in  aiding  the  stock  to  make  a  better  bid 
for  the  buyers'  attention.  Many  a  man 
or  woman  who  comes  into  the  store  with 
the  intention  of  purchasing  only  a  few 
flowers  for  a  vase  may  be  attracted  by 
the  filled  baskets  and  vases,  and  pur- 
chase one  of  them,  as  well  as  the  stock 
to  go  with  it. 

The  idea  presented  may  be  a  small 
one,  but  there  are  many  such  small  mat- 
ters that  count  in  the  week's  business, 
particularly  if  it  happens  to  be  a  mid- 
summer week.  Take,  for  instance,  the 
summer  display  in  Lowe 's  Flower  Shop, 
at  Long  Beach,  Cal.,  as  pictured  here- 
with. Note  that  nearly  all  the  stock 
is  displayed  in  receptacles  which  are 
intended  as  a  part  of  the  sale,  and  not 
displayed  in  plain  display  units.  The 
buyer  is  given  the  impression  that  the 
pretty  basket  an^  the  fresh  roses  in  it

go  together;  the  palm  in  the  rear  is 
intended  as  a  gift  to  someone,  but  it 
really  would  not  do  to  present  it  without 
the  tasteful  tub. 

Variety  Helps  To  Sell. 

Mr.  Lowe  believes  in  showing  a  wide 
variety  of  styles,  on  the  proposition  that 
at  least  one  of  the  pieces  will  take  the 
fancy  of  the  customer.  In  the  center  is 
shown  a  good-sized  pond  with  a  foun- 
tain, about  which  are  arranged  the 
items  for  sale. 

The  other  illustration,  showing  the  in- 
terior of  the  Nicollet  avenue  store  of 
the  Whitted  Floral  Co.,  at  Minneapolis, 
gives  an  idea  of  how  the  company  aims 
to  sell  bowls  and  urns  as  well  as  plants. 
No  two  containers  are  alike,  and  the 
display  requires  the  entire  length  of  the 
store  on  one  side. 

A  profit  of  $2  on  a  plant  is  business, 
but  an  additional  profit  of  $2  on  an  ac- 
cessory to  go  with  the  plant,  is  better 
business. 


TOO   FAST 

That  rapid-fire  florist  and  Eotarian, 
William  C.  Gloeckner,  of  Albany,  N.  Y., 
has  sent  his  customers  a  card  which 
reads: 

Your  order  for  flowers  for  Chicago,  placed  at 
2:48  p.  m.  In  Albany,  was  delivered  in  Chicago 
at  2:36  p.  m.  the  same  day. 

How  did  we  do  it  to  beat  the  time? 

Figuring  difterence  of  eastern  and  central  time, 
and  good  service  from  the  Western  Union  and  our 
correspondents,  In  response  to  our  telegraphed  in- 
structions. 

Are    You   Satisfied? 

Send  us  your  order  for  any  city  in  the  United 
States  or  Canada. 

Many  retailers  who  are  friends  of  the 
F.  T.  D.  idea  feel  that  it  is  inadvisable 
to  educate  the  public  to  expect  too 
much.  It  is  not  practicable  to  "beat 
the  time"  on  every  order,  and  the  flo- 
rist who  teaches  his  customers  to  ex- 
pect everything  else  to  be  laid  aside  for 
one  small  order  is  only  laying  up  trouble 
for  himself.  Instead,  educate  the  pub- 
lic to  the  idea  that  rush  service  is  not 
the  best  service;  teach  the  buyers  to 
give  time  for  careful  work.

PLANTING  THE  STOCK. 

Look  over  the  violet  plants  in  the 
field  and  remove  any  runners  and  dead 
foliage.  Keep  the  cultivator  constantly 
going  among' them.  They  may  not  be 
making  growth  to  please  you  now. 
That  will  come,  however,  when  we  get 
cooler  nights  and  a  little  more  moisture. 
If  the  weather  is  extremely  dry  and 
you  have  water  convenient,  let  a  sprink- 
ler run  among  them,  allowing  it  to  run 
from  two  to  three  hours  before  chang- 
ing. You  then  are  sure  the  plants  will 
have  a  good  soaking. 

While  double  violets  can  be  housed 
as  early  as  the  end  of  August,  do  not 
on  any  consideration  plant  your  singles 
earlier  than  the  middle  or  end  of  Octo- 
ber. Several  years  ago  we  made  the 
blunder  of  housing  that  best  of  all 
singles,  Princess  of  Wales,  early  in 
September.  We  got  a  tremendous  crop 
of  lusty  leaves  and  a  limited  number 
of  poor,  wishy-washy  flowers.  Since 
that  time  we  have  always  waited  for 
cool  nights  in  October  before  housing 
any  singles,  preferring  to  let  the  plants 
have  some  frost  on  at  least  a  couple  of 
occasions  before  lifting.  A  temperature 
of  24  or  26  degrees  will  suffice  to  check 
the  exuberant  leaf  growth  and  start 
flower  production  in  quantity.  Plant 
singles  early  and  failure  is  sure  to  re- 
sult, no  matter  what  you  may  be  told 
to  the  contrary. 

Years  ago,  any  old  houses,  even  those 
with  6x8  glass  and  heavy  rafters,  were 
considered  good  enough  for  violets. 
While  you  can  grow  violets  and  some 
other  plants  after  a  fashion  in  such 
structures,  if  you  want  really  good  re- 
sults give  them  light,  roomy  and  well 
ventilated  houses,  not  small,  dark,  hot 
and  stuffy  ones. 

VIOLETS  POOR  SECOND  YEAR. 

I  have  a  bed  of  400  violet  plants 
which  were  planted  last  August  and 
from  which  I  picked  flowers  all  winter. 
Will  these  plants  do  as  well  again  this 
year,  if  I  trim  them  back  and  feed 
them,  or  shall  I  set  new  rooted  cuttings 
and  discard  the  old  plants!  The  variety 
is  Governor  Herrick. 

L.  E.  G.— D.  C. 


A  Drive  on  "Artware,"  by  VhHted  Floral  Co.,  Minneapolis. 


No,  you  will  not  get  good  results  by 
attempting  to  carry  your  violets  over  a 
second  season.  To  achieve  success  with 
violets  you  should  have  taken  runners 
or  divisions  in  spring,  planted  them  out 
in  nursery  rows  and  lifted  them  in  Oc- 
tober, after  the  plants  had  been  sub- 
jected to  one  or  two  moderate  freezings. 
I  would  advise  you  to  use  the  rooted 
cuttings  for  the  coming  season.  If  these 
are  planted  out,  well  and  good,  but  do 
not  house  them  until  about  the  end  of 
October,  otherwise  you  will  have  many 
leaves  and  few  flowers.  C.  W.

OULLETT'S    COMPLETED    RANGE. 


Ten  Houses  Just  Finished. 

With  the  completion  of  the  additions 
to  the  GuUett  &  Sons  range  of  green- 
houses at  Lincoln,  111.,  which,  by  the 
way,  is  one  of  the  few  establishments 
that  have  been  materially  increased  this 
season,  the  firm  has  one  of  the  most 
up-to-date  places  in  the  trade.  A  recital 
of  some  of  the  outstanding  features  of 
the  range  will  give  an  idea  of  its 
modernity  and  size. 

It  has  in  its  boilers  an  aggregate  of 
2,000  horsepower.  It  has  electric  re- 
frigeration. It  has  three  watering  sys- 
tems, all  cross-connected  for  use  in  any 
part  of  the  vast  glass  area,"  One  of  these 
systems  has  ninety  pounds  pressure,  one 
forty  pounds  and  the  third  is  used  for 
manure.  A  section  man  in  any  part  of 
the  range  has  any  of  the  three  systems 
at  his  service  by  the  turn  of  a  valve. 
The  plant  houses  are  one-quarter  of  a 
mile  from  the  boilers,  and  yet  the  entire 
range  is  heated  from  the  central  heating 
plant  by  means  of  the  McKee  vacuum 
system.  The  pipe  is  carried  under- 
ground in  special  tile  conduits  provided 
with  sewer  drains  and  insulation.  There 
are  320  benches,  4x250  feet,  filled  with 


packing  room.  This  building  is  so  ar- 
ranged that  the  firm's  motor  trucks  can 
drive  through  it  for  purposes  of  loading 
and  unloading.  The  building  is  heated 
and  electrically  lighted. 

The  American  Greenhouse  Mfg.  Co., 
Chicago,  which  furnished  all  the  mate- 
rial and  equipment,  and  erected  the 
range,  used  310  carloads  of  material, 
making  six  trains  of  more  than  fifty 
cars  each. 

With  this  record  of  activities  during 
the  last  year,  Gullett  &  Sons  may  well 
claim  the  distinction  of  being  among 
the  best  business  boosters,  not  only  in 
the  florists'  trade,  but  in  the  commer- 
cial world  at  large. 


SHIP    AHOY!— MOTT    IS    SKIPPER. 

Visitors  to  the  convention  of  the  S. 
A,  F.  at  New  York  August  21,  who  come 
from  points  west  of  Albany,  N.  Y.,  have 
an  informal  but  cordial  invitation  from 
the  Albany  Florists'  Club  to  break  their 
journey  at  the  New  York  capital.  Any 
of  the  following  members  are  within 
easy  reach  and  will  gladly  extend  cour- 
tesies: F.  A.  Danker,  William  C. 
Gloeckner,  Fred  Goldring,  W.  W.  Han- 
nell,  Edward  Tracey,  of  The  Eosery, 
Fred  Henkes,   of   Henkes   &   Sons,   and 


them.    Their  unique  range  is  well  worth 
the  time  it  would  take  to  visit  it. 

Poughkeepsie  follows,  and  here  the 
genial  Saltfords,  father  and  sons,  may 
be  seen,  busy  even  in  vacation  time;  and 
their  well  kept  place  rewards  their  ef- 
forts, Conrad  C.  Gindra  is  also  to  be 
found  and  most  likely  will  be  ready  to 
join  the  convention  party.  Across  the 
river  is  Highland,  where  A,  Ley  &  Bro. 
and  John  Madden  grow  such  fine  Adi- 
antum  hybridum. 

Our  boat  is  now  passing  New  Ham- 
burg, the  home  of  W.  P.  Clyde,  of  steam- 
boat fame  and  an  ardent  horticulturist, 
who  possesses  one  of  the  finest  herba- 
ceous gardens  on  the  Hudson. 

Directly  opposite  Newburgh  is  Bea- 
con, where  Benjamin  Hammond  greets 
us  and  offers  us  the  freedom  of  the  com- 
missary department  of  his  establishment. 
L.  Wood,  of  Wood  Bros.,  accompanied 
by  Samuel  Benjamin,  joins  the  party, 
and  as  our  boat  passes  Storm  King 
mountain  and  Cold  Spring,  where  Sey- 
mour Cunningham  keeps  a  snug  range, 
we  are  informed  that  George  Washing- 
ton once  drank  at  the  spring  close  by 
the  railroad  station.  Here  the  famous 
aqueduct  crosses  under  the  river.  The 
next   point  of   interest   is  West  Point,

stock.  There  are  forty  miles  of  heating 
pipes  in  the  range,  and  if  the  pipes  were 
laid  end  to  end  they  would  reach  from 
Chicago  to  Aurora. 

A  feature  of  the  establishment  is  the 
system  of  cement  walks  which  extend 
all  around  the  range  and  through  the 
center.  These  walks  are  wide  enough 
to  permit  the  free  use  of  wheelbarrows. 

Two  huge  Babcock  &  Wilcox  water 
boilers,  each  250  horsepower,  are  now 
being  installed. 

Year's  Additions  to  Range. 

The  three  big  steel  houses  finished 
last  fall  were  planted  to  roses  and 
chrysanthemums.  The  two  steel  houses, 
each  60x500  feet,  finished  last  May,  were 
planted  to  Russell  and  Ophelia  roses. 
Twelve  coldframes,  200  feet  long,  just 
completed,  are  to  be  used  for  hydrangeas 
and  azaleas.  Ten  pipe-frame  houses, 
28x200  feet  each,  just  receiving  the  fin- 
ishing touches,  will  be  used  for  cycla- 
mens, ferns  and  pot  plants.  The  rest  of 
the  range  is  planted  to  miscellaneous 
varieties  of  roses  and  carnations. 

The  new  service  building  for  the  plant 
range  is  28x300  feet,  and  contains  an 
ideal  layout  of  soil  bins,  potting  tables, 
shipping  benches,  pot  racks,  office  and 


Thomas    Tracey,    of    the    Albany    Cut 
Flower  Exchange, 

A  delightful  and  restful  trip  follow- 
ing a  hot  and  dusty  experience  on  the 
railroad  is  a  refreshing  thing  to  sug- 
gest: Why  cannot  the  conventionists 
from  the  west  get  off  at  Albany  and 
there  connect  with  the  Hudson  river 
boats  for  New  York?  All  through  rail- 
road tickets  are  good  on  any  of  the 
Hudson  boats,  which  leave  every  week 
day  at  8:30  a,  m,  and  arrive  at  New 
York  at  6  p,  m. 

Boarding,  for  instance,  the  "Wash- 
ington Irving"  on  a  bright,  warm  day, 
such  as  we  iare  now  being  favored  with, 
we  take  our  chair  and  settle  down  for 
a  long  and  pleasant  sail.  We  pass  many 
large  ice  houses,  recalling  to  mind  that 
there  is  a  close  affinity  between  ice  and 
coal  just  now, 

Hudson  is  the  first  stopping  place, 
the  home  of  the  Allen  Greenhouses,  the 
proprietor  of  which  does  a  snug  retail 
business.  CatskUl  is  the  next  port  of 
call,  and  there  the  veteran  Henry  Han- 
sen will  leave  his  prosperous  place  to 
join  the  crowd,  which  will  surely  be 
augmented  by  the  addition  of  Brother 
Snyder,  of  Ehinebeck,  At  Kingston 
Point  we  remember  the  Burgevin  broth- 
ers, and  would  not  be  surprised  to  see 


with  its  immense  graystone  buildings, 
now  so  intensely  interesting, 

Nearing  our  journey's  end,  we  pass 
Tarrytown  and  Scarboro,  both  asso- 
ciated with  the  well  known  name  of 
F.  R.  Pierson,  while  beyond  Nyack  lies 
the  range  of  Alexander  Burns,  conceded 
to  be  the  largest  shipper  of  lilies  to 
Manhattan.  Passing  the  Palisades  re- 
calls R.  W.  Clucus  at  his  extensive 
nursery  at  Sparkill.  All  are  pleased 
to  know  that  he  is  again  convalescent. 

On  our  left  we  are  deeply  impressed 
with  the  view  of  the  tomb  of  General 
Grant,  and  as  our  boat  threads  its  way 
through  the  fleet  of  Holland  steamers, 
now  lying  idle,  the  sight  strengthens 
the  opinion  now  generally  accepted  that 
the  outlook  for  any  Dutch  bulbs  this  fall 
is  none  too  promising;  but  we  are  deter- 
mined to  make  the  best  of  the  situation 
and  take  all  the  pleasure  we  can  while 
the  opportunity  offers.  With  this  de- 
termination we  arrive  at  our  destina- 
tion, tired  but  happy.  W.  M. 

NOT  CRITICISM,  MR.  ESLER. 

The  Review,  in  a  recent  issue,  arises 
to  remark  that  "the  Florists'  Hail

them    to    the    attention    of    the    entire

PLANTING  THE  STOCK. 

Look  over  the  violet  plants  in  the 
field  and  remove  any  runners  and  dead 
foliage.  Keep  the  cultivator  constantly 
fijoin};  among  them.  They  may  not  be 
making  growth  to  ])lease  you  now. 
That  will  come,  however,  Avhen  we  get 
cooler  nights  and  a  little  more  moisture. 
If  the  weather  is  extremely  dry  and 
you  have  water  convenient,  let  a  sprink- 
ler run  among  them,  allowing  it  to  run 
from  two  to  three  hours  before  chang- 
ing. You  then  arc  sure  the  plants  will 
have  a  good  soaking. 

While  double  violets  can  he  housed 
as  early  as  the  end  of  August,  do  not 
on  any  consideration  plant  your  singles 
earlier  than  the  middle  or  end  of  Octo- 
ber. Several  years  ago  we  made  the 
blunder  of  housing  that  best  of  all 
singles,  I'rincess  of  Wales,  early  in 
September.  We  got  a  tremendous  crop 
of  lusty  leaves  and  a  limited  number 
of  poor,  wishy-washy  flowers.  Since 
that  time  we  have  always  waited  for 
cool  nights  in  October  before  housing 
any  singles,  preferring  to  let  the  plants 
have  some  frost  on  at  least  a  couple  of 
occasions  before  lifting.  A  temperature 
of  24  or  2(5  degrees  will  suffice  to  check 
the  exuberant  leaf  growth  and  start 
tlower  ])roduction  in  quantity.  I'lant 
singles  early  and  failure  is  sure  to  re- 
sult, no  matter  what  you  may  be  told 
to  the  contrary. 

Years  ago,  any  old  houses,  even  those 
with  ()x8  glass  and  heavy  rafters,  were 
considered  good  enough  for  violets. 
While  you  can  grow  violets  and  some 
other  jdants  after  a  fashion  in  such 
structures,  if  you  want  really  good  re- 
sults give  them  light,  roomy  and  well 
\entiljited  houses,  not  small,  dark,  hot 
;md  stuflv   ones. 


VIOLETS  POOR  SECOND  YEAR. 

I  have  a  bed  of  4(Ml  violet  jdants 
which  wtM'c  planted  last  August  and 
from  which  I  jiicked  llowers  all  winter. 
Will  these  jdants  do  as  well  again  this 
year,  if  1  trim  them  back  and  i\'i'i\ 
them,  or  sha.ll  1  set  tiew  rooted  cuttings 
;ind  discard  the  old  plants?  The  variety 
is  (m>\  ernor  I lerrick.

Xo,  you  will  not  get  good  results  by 
attempting  to  carry  your  violets  ovi^r  :i 
secoiul  seasnii.  To  achieve  success  with 
violets  you  sli(>uld  have  taken  runners 
or  di\'isions  in  s|iring.  plante(l  them  out 
in  nursery  rows  and  lifted  them  in  Oc- 
tober, after  the  plants  had  been  sub- 
jected to  one  or  two  moderate  freezings. 
1  wduM  ;icl\  ise  you  to  use  the  rooted 
cuttings  for  the  coming  season.  If  these 
are  jdanted  out,  well  and  good,  but  do 
not  house  them  until  alxmt  the  end  of 
October,  otherwise  you  will  have  many 
leaves  and  few  flowers.  ('.  W.

GULLETT'S     COMPLETED     EANGE. 


Ten  Houses  Jiist  Finished. 

Witli  tlic  foiiiplotiou  of  tlie  additions 
to  the  (iullott  &  Sons  ranjrc  of  gro(>ii- 
liousos  at  Lincoln,  J II.,  wliicli,  \>y  tlu; 
wav  is  one  of  the  few  establishments 
that  have  been  materially  increased  this 
season,  the  firm  has  one  of  the  most 
up-to-date  places  in  the  trade.  A  recital 
of  sonic  of  the  outstanding  features  of 
the  range  will  give;  an  idea  of  its 
modernity  and   si/e. 

It  has  in  its  ])oilers  an  aggregate  of 
2,000  horsepower.  It  has  electric  re- 
frigeration. It  has  three  watering  sys- 
tems, ail  cross-connected  for  use  in  any 
j)art  of  the  vast  glass  area.  One  of  these 
systems  has  ninety  ])oun(ls  pressure,  one 
forty  ])ounds  and  the  third  is  used  for 
manure.  A  section  man  in  any  part  of 
the  range  has  any  of  the  three  systems 
at  liis  service  by  the  turn  of  a  valve. 
Tiie  ])lant  houses  are  one-cpiarter  of  a 
mile  from  the  boilers,  and  yet  the  entire 
range  is  heiited  from  the  central  heating 
]ilant  by  means  of  the  McKec;  vacvium 
system.  The  ]upe  is  carried  under- 
ground in  special  tile  conduits  jnovided 
with  sewer  drains  and  insulation.  Tliere 
are  320  benches,  4xl:50  feet,  filled  ^vith 


jiacking    room.      Tiiis   building   is   so   ar 
langed  that  the  firm's  motor  trucks  can 
drive  through  it  for  purposes  ot'  loading 
and   unloading.      The   building  is  licuted 
and  electrically  lighted. 

The  American  (Jreenhouse  Mfg.  Co., 
<'liicago,  whiidi  furnished  all  tiie  mate 
rial  and  eciuipment,  and  elected  the 
range,  used  310  carloads  of  mateiial. 
making  six  trains  of  more  than  lifty 
cars  each. 

With  this  record  of  aclixit  ics  during' 
the  last  year,  (Jullett  &  Sons  may  well 
claim  the  distinction  of  being  among 
the  best  business  boosters,  not  only  in 
the  llorists'  trade,  but  in  the  commer- 
cial world  at  large.

last  fall  were  planted  to  roses  and 
chrysanthemums.  The  two  steel  houses, 
<>a<  h  00x500  feet,  finished  last  May,  were 
idanted  to  Kusseil  and  Oidn-lia  roses. 
Twelve  ciddframes,  200  feet  buig,  just 
eompleted,  are  to  be  used  for  hydrangeas 
and  azaleas.  Ten  pipe-frame  houses, 
2Sx200  feet  each,  just  receiving  the  fin- 
ishing touches,  will  be  used  for  cycla- 
mens, ferns  and  pot  plants.  The  rest  of 
the  range  is  planted  to  miscellaneous 
^  arieties  of  roses  and  carnations. 

The  new  service  building  for  the  plant 
range  is  28x300  feet,  and  contains  an

of  his  interest  and  the  name  of  the  cor- 
poration was  changed  to  Hugo  Schroeter, 
Inc.  At  that  time  the  corporation  was 
carrying  a  considerable  load  of  debts 
and  Mr.  Schroeter  states  that  it  has  not 
been  possible  to  lighten  this  to  any 
great  extent  except  as  he  has  raised 
money  on  his  personal  credit.  "Among 
our  many  creditors,"  says  Mr.  Schroe- 
ter, "were  some  who  made  it  possible 
to  accomplish  what  we  did,  and  to  these 
I  wish  to  say  that  I  regret  very  much 
that  they  should  be  losers  through  their 
continued  kindness."  No  court  action 
has  been  taken;  the  business  simply  has 
been  discontinued.

body  of  the  trade."  Inasmuch  as  this 
is  a  mild  criticism  of  the  policy  adopted 
by  the  board  of  directors  of  the  F.  H.  A., 
a  few  words  of  explanation  may  be 
necessary. 

The  F.  H.  A.  is  an  association  which 
is  purely  mutual  and  is  operated  without 
profit  to  any  one,  because  insurance  is 
effected  at  actual  cost.  Allow  me  to  ask, 
for  example,  if  the  Editor  of  The  Re- 
view were  altruistic  enough  to  hand 
out  his  advertisements  without  profit, 
how  much  money  would  he  be  willing 
to  appropriate  to  advertise  the  fact? 

To  my  mind,  the  directors  of  the  F.  H. 
A.  have  adopted  a  wise  policy  in  using 
the  money  placed  in  their  trust  for  the 
benefit  of  F.  H.  A.  members,  rather  than 
use  it  in  inducing  others  to  share  the 
benefits  which  the  members  have  been 
wise  enough  to  secure. 

Equitable  adjustments,  prompt  pay- 
ment of  losses  and  methods  of  promotion 
that  have  never  conflicted  with  the  in- 
surance laws  of  any  state,  have  given 
exceedingly   satisfactory   results.

BUSINESS   EMBARRASSMENTS. 

Fort  Recovery,  O. — The  Fort  Recov-

losses  and  other  reverses,  filed  a  volun-

has  closed  its  store.  The  business  was 
started  a  few  years  ago  as  the  Schroeter- 
Stahelin  Co.^  the  interested  parties  being 
Hugo  Schroeter,  son  of  B.  Schroeter, 
one  of  the  oldest  and  most  highly  re- 
spected Detroit  florists,  and  A.  J.  Stahe- 
lin,  a  highly  successful  young  grower 
at  Redfield,  Mich.  The  business  did  not 
realize  the  hopes  of  the  founders  and  in 
the  course  of  time  Mr.  Stahelin  disposed 


FOUR  CLEVELANDERS  AT  PLAY. 

After  you  have  worked  hard  all  win- 
ter, spending  ten  or  more  hours  in  the 
store,  hustling  out  bouquets  and  de- 
signs, and  being  on  the  job  seven  days 
a  week,  and  then,  when  summer  comes 
and  you  have  a  chance  to  take  a  vaca- 
tion, you  go  on  a  fishing  trip  with  some 
good  fellows,  and  have  excellent  luck, 
"ain't  it  a  grand  and  glorious  feel- 
ing?" 

The  faces  of  the  four  Clevilanders 
shown  in  the  accompanying  illustration 
prove  conclusively  that  they  were  feel- 
ing grand  and  glorious.  They  were  at 
Pine  lake,  which  is  near  Youngstown, 
O.,  and  assert  that  during  their  stay 
they  caught  thirty-six  black  bass  and 
ns  bluegills. 

The  barefoot  fisherman  is  A.  B.  Bar- 
ber, of  the  Jones-Russell  Co.,  and  sec- 
retary of  the  Cleveland  Florists'  Club; 
the  two  in  the  center  are  Frank  J.  Rit- 
zenthaler,  of  Knoble  Bros.,  and  Charles 
E.  Russell,  of  the  Jones-Russell  Co.;  the 
other  is  Frank  A.  Friedley,  who  needs 
no  introduction. 

Needless  to  say  that  these  four  re- 
turned to  Cleveland  full  of  energy,  and 
ready  for  a  strenuous  season.  Work, 
they  say,  is  worth  while  when  at  the 
end  of  the  season  there  waits  such  a  va- 
cation as  this  one. 


INDOOR  SWEET  PEAS. 

There  is  no  advantage  in  sowing  the 
early  indoor  sweet  peas  befdre  the  mid- 
dle or  end  of  August.  If  started  too  soon, 
the  intense  heat  half  ruins  them,  and 
while  the  flowers  may  be  had  as  early 
as  October,  they  are  not  specially 
needed  so  early  in  the  season,  when 
mums  and  other  flowers  are  abundant. 
From  Thanksgiving  onward,  however, 
the  market  takes  to  them  more  kindly. 
Christmas  Pink  Spencer  sells  as  well  as 
anything,  and  if  its  white  companion  is 
also  grown  you  will  have  two  really  good 
varieties.  It  is  true  that  the  old  gran- 
diflora  varieties  will  bloom  earlier  and 
more  abundantly,  but  their  flowers  will 
not  command  the  same  prices  as  the 
Spencers. 


It  is  no  use  trying  to  grow  sweet  peas 
in  small,  narrow,  dark  and  stuffy  houses. 
Give  them  a  house  as  roomy  as  possible, 
with  plenty  of  head  room,  and  remember 
that  they  succeed  best  in  solid  beds 
which  have  been  well  enriched  with 
rotted  cow  or  horse  manure.  Start  the 
seeds  in  flats  or  pans  of  clear  sand. 
Plant  these  out  carefully  four  inches 
apart  in  the  rows,  and  if  you  are  grow- 
ing any  new  or  expensive  sorts  go  to  the 
trouble  of  potting  off  the  seedlings 
singly  in  2Vi>-inch  pots  before  planting 
out.  You  are  sure,  then,  to  lose  none. 
Of  course,  you  can  sow  them  directly 
in  the  rows,  but  good  winter  sweet  pea 
seed  is  costly,  and  I  think  it  true  econ- 
omy to  start  them  in  sand  and  trans- 
plant them  later.  Sand  gives  a  better

SPENOEBS  FOB  0HBI8TMAS. 

Are  the  new  early-flowering  Spencer 
sweet  peas,  like  Early  Morning  Star, 
Early  Heather  Bell,  etc.,  suitable  for 
winter  growing!  If  so,  when  should 
they  be  planted  to  flower  by  Christmas! 

E.  E.  M.— Okla. 

Yes.  Sow  early  in  September  for  a 
Christmas  crop.

HOME-GEOWN   SWEET  PEA   SEED. 

There  are  some  good  looking  ripe  seeds 
on  my  Spencer  sweet  pea  vines  and  I 
should  like  to  know  what  success  I  am 
likely  to  have  if  I  plant  these  seeds  the 
coming  season.  A.  S. — HI. 

There  is .  no  reason  why  your  sweet 
pea  seeds  should  not  prove  perfectly  sat- 
isfactory, s,nd  if  you  are  growing  only 
one  or  two  special  varieties  they  should 
come  fairly  true  to  color — more  so,  per- 
haps, than  many  which  are  sold.

APHIS  ON  SWEET  PEAS. 

Will  you  please  tell  me  what  will  de- 
stroy aphis  on  outdoor  sweet  peas!  I 
have  sprayed  them  with  common  soap 
and  with  fish  oil  soap,  but  the  blooms 
were  injured  so  badly  as  to  be  worth- 
less. E.  A.  P.— Md. 


Try  nicotine,  which  will  reach  the 
pest  better  than  any  other  insecticide. 
Use  it  according  to  the  printed  instruc- 
tions on  the  cans.  There  are  several 
excellent  brands  of  liquid  nicotine  on 
the  market.  Spray  in  the  evening,  not 
when  the  sun  is  shining,  and  syringe 
with  cold  water  early  the  next  morn- 
ing.

QABDENIAS    FOB    CHBISTMAS. 

Please  tell  me  how  to  grow  gardenias 
so  as  to  have  them  in  bloom  by  Decem- 
ber. I  tried  them  this  season  and  they 
did  not  bloom  until  April.  I  planted 
them  in  the  bed  at  the  end  of  June  and 
they  grew  well  and  made  a  great  many 
buds  by  November,  I  then  took  off 
all  surplus  shoots  around  the  buds,  ex- 
pecting to  have  plenty  of  blooms  for 
Christmas,  but  from  that  time  on  they 
did  not  do  well.  In  March  the  buds 
began  to  swell.  L  kept  them  in  a  tem- 
perature of  70  t<>.  72  degrees.  Is  it 
customary  to  disUiid  these  plants!  I 
have  400  plants  and  from  the  middle  of 
April  I  have  been  cutting  from  100  to 
200  blooms  per  day,  but  at  that  date 
they  are  too  late  to  be  of  much  value  in 
the  trade.  Would  you  advise  carrying 
over  the  old  plants  for  another  year! 

C.  J.  E.— Ga. 


Gardenias  are  by  no  means  an  easy 
crop  to  flower  for  the  holidays.  The 
soil  should  be  quite  porous,  so  that 
water  passes  readily  through  it,  and 
should  consist  of  fibrous  loam  with  the 
finer  particles  screened  out,  dried  cow 
manure  well  broken  up  and  partly  de- 
cayed leaves.  Some  coarse  sand  also 
should  be  added,  especially  if  the  loam 
is  heavy,  to  give  the  soil  more  porosity. 
A  few  growers  succeed  in  flowering  gar- 
denias well  in  solid  beds,  but  I  have 
had  the  best  success  with  them  in  raised 
"benches,  with  heating  pipes  running  be- 
low them  to  give  a  little  bottom  heat. 
I  prefer  to  use  from  four  and  one-half

to  five  inches  of  soil  and  do  the  bench- 
ing in  June. 

Your  winter  temperature  of  70  to  72 
degrees  is  too  high  for  night.  At  night 
62  to  65  degrees  is  ample  and  on  severe 
nights  60  degrees  is  better.  Ventilate 
a  little  when  the  temperature  gets  up  to 
72  degrees  on  cloudy  days  or  75  degrees 
with  sun.  Gardenias  need  careful 
watering  to  avoid  a  loss  of  buds.  It  is 
a  safe  plan  to  allow  the  benches  to  dry 
out  tolerably  well  between  waterings. 
Give  the  plants  a  thorough  syringing 
twice  a  week  even  in  midwinter,  to  keep 
them  clean,  selecting  clear  mornings  for 
the   work.     Lighter   sprayings   may   be 


given  at  shutting-up  time  in  the  after- 
noon. 

Gardenias  will  bloom  earlier  in  pots 
than  in  benches.  Last  season  I  had  a 
batch  in  8-inch  pots  which  started  to 
bloom  about  November  20  and  gave  a 
fine  Christmas  crop.  These  same  plants 
bloomed  profitably  until  May  20.  They 
were  grown  in  a  house  with  poinsettias 
and  begonias,  where  the  average  mini- 
mum in  winter  was  55  degrees,  and 
occasionally  lower.  I  think  you  kept 
your  plants  too  close  and  warm.  Keep 
them  somewhat  cooler  and  air  more 
freely  and  you  should  get  much  earlier 
flowers.  C.  W. 


With  liberty  loans,  war  taxes  and 
other  big  figures  goes  the  information 
that  the  Poehlmann  Bros.  Co.,  of  Chi- 
cago, uses  39,000  tons  of  soft  coal  during 
the  season. 

Growers  at  Philadelphia  were  puzzled 
last  week  by  the  receipt  of  printed 
forms  from  the  government  asking  them 
as  to  their  fuel  supply.  "With  whom 
have  you  placed  your  contract?"  was 
the  question  that  bothered  the  growers 
most.  How  much  and  what  kind  of 
t'oal  the  different  industries  require  is 
probably  what  the  government  is  driv- 
ing at. 

Paul  Janisch,  of  the  Broad  Ripple 
Floral  Co.,  Indianapolis,  recently  pur- 
chased an  automobile.  Since  then  he 
has  been  purchasing  liberty  bonds.  No, 
not  the  kind  that  bears  interest  at  the 
rate  of  three  and  one-half  per  cent,  but 
the  kind  that  gets  one  what  the  word 
implies,  freedom.  Twice  he  has  been 
arrested  for  speeding;  a  like  number 
of  times  he  has  engaged  in  disputes 
with  policemen  about  how  long  his  car 
has  been  parked.  Not  unlike  his  great 
namesake,  Paul,  the  evangelist,  Paul 
now  preaches  many  sermons,  but  with- 
out exception  they  are  on  one  subject — 
policemen. 


Sam  Seligman  went  fishing  to  rest. 
Asked  how  he  managed  to  do  both  at 
one  time,  Sam  replied:  "I  had  plenty 
of  time  to  rest  while  fishing,  because  the 
big  fish  didn't  bother  me  much;  I  only 
had  to  wake  up  now  and  then  to  throw 
a  minnow  back  into  the  water." 

It  sounds  almost  too  good  to  be  true, 
but  it  is  fact  that  the  H.  Weber  & 
Sons  Co.,  at  Oakland,  Md.,  heats  its 
houses  with  natural  gas,  of  which  there 
is  an  abundance,  and  when  it  becomes 
so  cold  that  coal  is  necessary — why,  the 
local  miners  are  glad  to  furnish  the 
article  at  $1.50  per  ton.  (Printer,  set 
that  $1.50,  not  $3.50.) 

Some  men  are  bom  wealthy,  some 
achieve  wealtli,  while  others  have 
wealth  thrush-  upon  them.  Several 
years  ago  Charles  Thorley,  the  New 
York  retailer,  had  a  lease  on  a  store 
where  now  stands  the  Times  building. 
He  is  said  to  have  received  $30,000  a 
year  for  the  surrender  of  the  lease. 
Now  the  building  at  Fifth  avenue  and 
Forty-sixth  street,  known  as  the  "Thor- 
ley corner,"  has  been  sold,  and  Mr. 
Thorley  is  found  to  be  the  possessor  of 
another  lease.  It  appears  certain  that 
lightning  will  strike  in  the  same  place 
a  second  time.

FOUR  CLEVELANDERS  AT  PLAY. 

After  you  have  worked  hard  all  win- 
ter, spending  ten  or  more  hours  in  the 
store,  hustling  out  boiupiets  and  de- 
signs, and  being  on  the  job  seven  days 
a  week,  and  then,  when  summer  comes 
and  you  have  a  eliance  to  take  a  vaca- 
tion, you  go  on  a  fishing  trip  with  some 
good  fellows,  and  have  excellent  luck, 
■'ain't  it  a  grand  and  glorious  feel- 
ing?" 

The  faces  of  the  four  Clevelanders 
shown  in  the  accompanying  illustration 
pro\e  conclusively  that  they  were  feel- 
ing grand  and  glorious.  They  were  at 
Fine  lake,  which  is  ne:ir  Youngstowii, 
().,  and  assert  that  during  their  stay 
they  caught  thirty-six  black  bass  and 
1  is'  bluegills. 

The  barefoot  fisherman  is  A.  B.  Bar- 
ber, of  the  Jones-Kussell  Go.,  and  sec- 
retary of  the  Cleveland  Florists'  Club; 
the  two  iji  the  center  are  Frank  J.  Kit- 
zeiithaler,  of  Knoble  Bros.,  and  Charles 
K.  Kussell,  of  the  Jones-Hussell  Co.;  the 
other  is  Frank  A.  Fricdiey,  who  needs 
no  introduction. 

Needk'ss  to  say  that  these  four  re- 
turned to  Cleveland  full  of  energy,  and 
icady  for  a  strenuous  season.  Work, 
they  say,  is  worth  while  when  at  the 
end  of  the  season  there  waits  such  a  va- 
cation as  this  one. 


INDOOR  SWEET  PEAS. 

There  is  no  advantage  in  sowing  the 
early  indoiu'  sweet  [icas  before  the  mid- 
dle or  end  of  August.  If  started  too  soon. 
the  intense  heat  half  ruins  them,  and 
while  the  flowers  may  be  had  as  early 
as  October,  they  are  not  specially 
needed  so  early  in  the  season,  when 
mums  and  other  flowers  .are  abund.ant. 
From  Thanksgiving  onward,  however, 
the  market  takes  to  them  morc^  kindly. 
<  hristiDas  Fink  Spencer  S(dls  as  wcdl  as 
anything,  .and  if  its  white  companion  is 
also  grow  11  you  will  ha\e  two  rt'ally  good 
\arieties.  It  i<  true  that  the  old  gran- 
dil'.ora  \arieties  will  bloom  earlier  and 
more  abnuclaiitly,  but  their  llowers  will 
not  <'((inmaiid  the  same  prices  as  the 
Sjiencers. 


Tt  is  no  use  trying  to  grow  sweet  peas 
in  small,  narrow,  dark  and  stuffv  houses. 
Cive  them  a  hcuise  as  roomy  as  possible, 
w  ith  jdenty  of  head  room,  and  remember 
that  they  succeed  best  in  solid  b»>ds 
which  have  been  well  enriched  with 
rotted  cow  or  horse  manure.  Start  the 
seeds  in  flats  or  jians  of  clear  sand. 
I'lant  these  (uit  carefully  four  inches 
apart  in  the  rows,  and  if  y(ui  are  grow- 
ing any  new  or  expcnsi\e  sorts  go  to  the 
trouble  of  potting  off  the  seedliiig.s 
singly  in  2'-_>-iiHdi  pots  before  jdanting 
out.  You  ar(>  sure,  then,  to  lose  none. 
Of  course,  you  can  sow  them  directly 
in  the  rows,  but  good  winter  sweet  pea 
^{'V(\  is  costly,  and  I  think  it  true  econ- 
omy to  start  them  in  sand  and  trans- 
jdant  them  later.  Sand  gives  a  better 
oerminatiou  than  loam.

The  Florists^  Review 


Adgost  9,  1917. 


NEW  YOBE. 


The  Market. 

The  extreme  heat  of  the  first  five  days 
of  last  week  paralyzed  the  cut  flower 
business.  However,  relief  came  August 
3,  in  the  shape  of  a  violent  thunder 
storm  accompanied  by  hail.  There 
practically  was  no  demand  for  stock  of 
any  variety  until  August  4,  when  the 
wholesalers  cleaned  up  fairly  well  at 
good  prices. 

The  prices  of  orchids  and  longiflorum 
lilies  advanced  during  the  week.  Good 
gigas  sold  for  75  cents  and  $1  each 
Saturday.  The  supply  is  limited,  and 
so  is  the  demand.  Lilies  ranged  from 
$3  to  $6  per  hundred,  while  some  of  the 
selected  stock  sold  at  even  higher 
prices. 

The  effects  of  the  heat  were  shown 
in  the  shipments  of  roses  received  dur- 
ing the  week.  Almost  every  rose  that 
arrived  was  open.  Thousands  were  sold 
at  25  and  50  cents  per  hundred,  and 
other  thousands  found  no  buyers.  The 
few  good  roses  that  arrived  sold  readily 
at  satisfactory  prices.  American  Beau- 
ties were  scarce.  Good  flowers  sold  as 
high  as  $25  per  hundred  August  4. 
Good  white  roses  were  in  demand,  but 
the  supply  was  short. 

There  were  few  carnations  in  the 
market.  Those  that  did  arrive  did  not 
bring  more  than  $1  per  hundred.  Val- 
ley was  scarce  and  selected  stock  sold 
as  high  as  $6  per  hundred.  The  de- 
mand was  light.  The  market  already 
is  flooded  with  asters,  but  the  best 
flowers  sold  at  $4  per  hundred.  The 
great  mass  of  asters,  however,  brought 
only  $1  and  $1.50  per  hundred.  Gla- 
dioli, also,  are  in  big  supply,  with  a  light 
demand.  They  sold  at  $1  per  hundred. 
There' is  a  great  abundance  of  summer 
flowers. 

The  demand  at  the  nearby  summer  re- 
sorts is  light.  In  the  city  and  Brooklyn 
retailers  are  doing  little  besides  funeral 
work. 

Various   Notes. 

The  hail  storm  August  3  did  consid- 
erable damage  to  greenhouse  ranges  in 
the  neighborhood  of  New  York.  The 
Eose  Hill  Nurseries  at  New  Rochelle 
lost  3,000  panes  of  glass.  Outdoor  stock 
also  suffered. 

The  last  regular  meeting  of  the  New 
York  Florists'  Club  before  the  S.  A.  F. 
convention  will  be  held  Monday  eve- 
ning, August  13,  at  the  club's  rooms  in 
the  Grand  Opera  House  building.  There 
will  be  exhibits  of  gladioli  and  final 
arrangements  for  the  convention  will 
be  made. 

Philip  F.  Kessler  is  handling  the  cut 
of  35,000  lilies  at  the  Charles  Smith's 
Sons  place.  They  are  exceptionally 
fine  and  bring  high  prices.  The  cut  is 
from  1,000  bulbs.  After  the  S.  A.  F. 
convention,  Mr.  Kessler  will  go  to  his 
summer  home  in  the  Adirondack  moun- 
tains to  stay  until  October. 

William  Hackland,  who  has  been  with 
the  New  York  Cut  Flower  Co.  for  many 
years,  has  been  appointed  secretary- 
treasurer  of  the  company,  filling  the 
vacancy  made  by  the  death  of  George 
W.  Hiilman  in  July.  Percy  Richters, 
who  has  fully  recovered  from  an  attack 
of  pneumonia,  has  been  appointed  assist- 
ant bookkeeper. 

R,  J.  Irwin  was  in  Boston  last  week 
and  is  at  Montreal  this  week  attending 
the  convention  of  the  Canadian  Horti- 
cultural Society.  A.  L.  Rickards,  of  the 
Irwin  force,  is  making  a  southern  trip. 


Robert  D.  MacNiff  and  family  are 
spending  the  summer  at  Callicoon,  N.  Y. 
The  Misses  Mae  and  B.  Ward,  Florence 
Gallagher  and  E.  Romanik  and  Messrs. 
Wells,  Jacobs,  Gallagher,  Kratsch,  Lar- 
sen,  and  Charles  and  David  MacNiff,  of 
the  MacNiff  force,  also  are  on  vacations. 

The  building  in  which  is  Charles 
Thorley's  flower  store,  562  Fifth  ave- 
nue, has  been  sold,  but  Mr.  Thorley  is 
protected  by  a  lease  that  has  several 
years  to  run. 

One  of  the  victims  of  the  heat  July 
31  was  Albert  E.  Wilson,  who  for  many 
years  had  a  flower  stand  at  Thirty-third 
street  and  Eighth  avenue.  Mr.  Wilson 
was  68  years  of  age  and  was  well  known 
among  the  members  of  the  trade. 

J»  K.  Allen,  P.  J.  Smith  and  Walter 
Sheridan  were  among  the  New  York 
wholesalers  who  attended  the  outing  of 
the  Essex  county,  N.  J.,  florists  August 
1.  There  were  200  present  and  all  had 
a  good  time,  Mr.  Allen  says. 

Crystal  White  was  seen  at  J.  J.  Coan  's 
last  week.  The  flowers  were  grown  by 
Baer  Bros.,  at  New  Hyde  Park. 

Patrick  Donegan,  with  M.  C.  Ford, 
is  at  Saratoga  Springs,  N.  Y.,  for  three 
weeks;  Matthew  Sampson,  with  Noe  & 
Co.,  is  at  Cape  Vincent,  N.  Y.,  for  two 
weeks;  N.  Bernstein,  manager  for  Gun- 
ther  Bros.,  is  at  Rockaway  Beach,  and  B. 
Rosens  and  Mrs.  Rosens  are  on  a  week 's 
motor  trip  in  the  Catskills,  while  their 
sons  Adolph,  Herman  and  Leo  Rosens 
are  at  Mr.  Rosens'  new  villa  at  Rock- 
away,  L.  I. 

Paul  A.  Rigo,  manager  of  the  Hen- 
shaw  Floral  Co.,  and  his  family  have 
returned  from  Cape  Elizabeth,  Me., 
where  they  spent  a  two  weeks'  vacation. 

The  eighth  annual  exhibition  of  the 
American  Gladiolus  Society  will  be  held 
at  the  Museum  building,  Bronx  park, 
August  23  to  26.  The  exhibition  will  be 
under   the   auspices   of  the   New  York 


Florists'  Club,  the  New  York  Botanical 
Garden  and  the  Horticultural  Society  of 
New  York.    There  will  be  liberal  prizes. 

The  popular  varieties  of  gladioli  in 
the  New  York  market  this  season  are 
America,  Afterglow,  Peace,  Prosperity, 
Crystal  White,  Dawn,  Peachblow,  La 
Luna  and  Chicago  White. 

The  Convention  Garden,  Bronx  park, 
is  rapidly  rounding  into  form  and  will 
be  one  of  the  points  of  interest  for  the 
visitors  to  the  S.  A.  F.  convention. 
About  twenty  of  the  leading  growers 
will  be  represented  there.  The  space 
in  the  Grand  Central  Palace  allotted  to 
the  trade  exhibitors  is  nearly  all  en- 
gaged. Forty  separate  exhibits  have 
been  booked,  the  leading  firms  of  the 
country  are  participating  and  all 
branches  of  the  trade  will  be  repre- 
sented. 

Frank  Millang,  Jr.,  again  is  at  his 
place  in  the  Coogan  building.  The  in- 
jury to  his  foot,  which  kept  him  at  his 
farm  at  Somers,  N.  Y.,  is  cured. 

Ex-President  Richard  Vincent,  Jr.,  of 
the  S.  A.  F.,  White  Marsh,  Md.,  and 
Albert  Herr,  Lancaster,  Pa.,  with  their 
families,  have  engaged  rooms  at  the 
Woodstock  hotel  for  convention  week. 

Employees  of  William  Elliott  &  Sons 
are  alternating  their  vacations.  Miss 
Lillian  Kunath,  the  cashier,  returned 
July  29;  P.  Liggett  is  now  away  and 
upon  his  return,  August  12,  Miss  Stern- 
berg will  leave  for  two  weeks. 

Charles  Schaimel,  of  M.  C.  Ford's 
force,  and  his  family  have  returned 
from  a  two  weeks'  vacation. 

L.  B,  Coddington,  Murray  HUl,  N.  J., 
is  daily  sending  thousands  of  roses  to 
H.  E.  Froment. 

James  Hammond,  with  James  Mc- 
Manus,  is  spending  his  vacation  with 
his  brother  at  Newport,  R.  I.

iMews  from 


Haarlem,  Holland. — The  General  Bulb 
Growers'  Society  has  continued  its 
meetings  with  regularity  this  year  and 
during  the  blooming  season  made  many 
awards  to  a  considerable  number  of  nov- 
elties. 

Haarlem,  Holland. — It  is  the  opinion 
of  the  most  conservative  men  in  the 
bulb  trade  that  prices  will  be  high  for 
some  seasons  after  the  war.  There  has 
been  some  reduction  in  acreage  this 
season  and  if  conditions  go  on  as  at 
present  indicated  there  will  be  a  steady 
curtailment  of  production  as  long  as 
the  war  lasts.  This  reduction,  of  course, 
is  of  the  cheaper  varieties,  as  it  takes 
as  much  land  and  care  to  grow  cheap 
varieties  as  it  does  to  grow  those  that 
represent  more  money.  When  the  war 
ends  it  will  take  some  time  to  restore 
stocks  and  production  to  the  level  of 
recent  years  and  the  demand  is  likely 
to  increase  at  least  as  fast  as  the  supply, 
especially  in  view  of  the  fact  that  the 
markets  of  England,  France  and  Ger- 
many now  are  closed  and  are  pretty 
sure  to  stay  so  as  long  as  the  war  lasts. 


Sassenheim,  Holland. — The  market  is 
fairly  stiff  on  the  popular  varieties  of 
tulip,  partly  perhaps  because  all  other 
commodities  are  high,  but  also  partly 
because  of  decreased  supply.  Word 
comes  from  various  points  in  the  bulb 
district  of  small  growers  who  plowed  up 
their  patches  of  the  cheaper  bulbs  in 
spring  while  there  still  was  time  to 
plant  cabbage  or  potatoes.  * 

London,  England. — The  British 
Wholesale  Florists'  Federation  has 
been  urging  its  members  to  assist  in  the 
production  of  food  and  the  secretary 
states  that  in  many  places  under  glass, 
ferns,  flowers,  etc.,  have  given  place  to 
tomatoes,  cucumbers,  lettuces,  early  po- 
tatoes, and  many  millions  of  vegetable 
seedlings  for  the  use  of  war-time  gar- 
deners. While  retaining  stocks  of  flow- 
ering subjects  for  future  development 
and  keeping  up  a  modest  supply  for  the 
florists'  shops  (most  of  the  flowers  go 
to  military  and  civil  hospitals),  flower 
growers  are  greatly  increasing  the  sup- 
ply of  food,  notwithstanding  the  short- 
age of  labor.

OBITUARY 


M.  Sozaln-Boucharlat. 

Word  comes  from  France  of  the  death 
of  M.  Eozain-Boucharlat,  of  Lyons.  A 
generation  ago  his  was  a  familiar  name 
to  chrysanthemum  growers.  Etoile  de 
Lyon  was  probably  the  largest  Japanese 
chrysanthemum  ever  raised  up  to  the 
time  of  its  introduction  in  1888.  It  was 
in  the  same  nursery  that  the  famous 
Mme.  Castex  Desgranges  was  raised. 
Deceased,  who  was  a  prominent  man  in 
the  Lyons  world  of  horticulture,  was 
68  years  old.  Chrysanthemums,  dahlias 
and  pelargoniums  were  his  specialties. 

Heinilch  Auguste  Jahn. 

H.  A.  Jahn,  of  New  Bedford,  Mass., 
whose  death  occurred  in  that  city  August 
4,  was  one  of  Massachusetts'  pioneer 
carnation  hybridizers,  and  was  well 
known  to  many  growers.  He  was  59 
years  of  age.  One  of  his  introductions, 
Jahn's  Scarlet,  was  introduced  a  num- 
ber of  years  ago.  He  also  originated 
other  varieties  and  of  late  years  he  and 
his  estimable  wife  had  specialized  in 
dahlias.  The  writer  had  known  Mr. 
Jahn  for  twenty  years  and  found  him 
to  be  an  excellent  botanist,  a  good 
grower  and  one  who  took  a  whole- 
souled  delight  in  his  calling.  His  pass- 
ing will  bring  pangs  of  regret  to  many. 

W.  N.  C. 

J.  C.  Elspermann. 

The  Evansville,  Ind.,  trade  has  lost 
one  of  its  veterans  in  the  death  August 
7  of  J.  C.  Elspermann.  The  decedent, 
who  was  60  years  of  age  and  had  suf- 
fered from  a  complication  of  diseases 
for  many  years,  was  taken  suddenly  ill 
July  28,  and  it  was  soon  evident  that  it 
would  be  his  last. 

Mr.  Elspermann  was  born  at  St.  Jo- 
seph, Ind.,  and  at  the  age  of  14  began  his 
career  as  a  florist  under  the  tutelage  of 
J.  D.  Carmody,  of  Evansville,  one  of  the 
pioneer  members  of  the  S.  A.  F.  Some 
years  later  Mr.  Elspermann  began  a 
business  for  himself,  and  in  this  he  was 
said  to  be  most  successful.  He  is  sur- 
vived by  his  wife,  one  daughter  and 
three  sons,  Joseph,  Carl  and  Theodore, 
who  will  continue  the  business.    E.  L.  F.

The  Market. 


There  was  a  small  supply  of  stock 
arriving  in  the  market  last  week,  but  as 
business  was  light  it  was  adequate  for 
the  demand.  Funeral  work  and  an  occa- 
sional sale  of  cut  flowers,  or  a  basket, 
was  all  that  was  doing  at  the  retail 
stores. 

Some  really  good  quality  white  and 
purple  asters  reached  the  market  last 
week  and  found  a  demand.  Large  con- 
signments of  gladioli  came  daily  from 
local  growers.  They  also  were  in  de- 
mand, especially  the  lighter  shades. 
Choice  stock  sold  for  $4  and  $5  per 
hundred.  Carnations  still  are  arriving, 
but  they  are  of  poor  quality. 

Quantities  of  short-stemmed  roses  are 
coming  in.  They  are  usually  of  poor 
quality  and  bring  low  prices.  Easter 
lilies  are  selling  well  and  usually  clean 
up.  Valley  continues  scarce,  and  there 
are  no  good  sweet  peas.    A  few  dahlias 


and  cosmos  are  coming  in.  Larkspurs, 
gypsophilas,  phloxes  and  candytuft  are 
in  good  supply  and  are  in  demand. 
There  is  plenty  of  green  to  be  had  at 
all  times. 

Various  Notes. 

The  regular  meeting  of  the  St.  Louis 
County  Growers'  Association  was  held 
August  1.  The  trustees  were  instructed 
to  arrange  for  the  annual  outing,  which 
will  be  held  during  August,  the  date  not 
being  fixed.  There  was  considerable 
discussion  regarding  the  meeting  of  the 
S.  A.  F.  and  the  National  Flower  Show 
to  be  held  in  St.  Louis  next  April.  The 
association  declared  it  would  lend  all 
assistance  possible  to  make  the  show 
a  success. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Henry  Berning  left 
August  1  for  Colorado.  They  will  be

in  the  country. 

Fred  Michels,  head  of  George  Wald- 
bart's  designing  department,  has  re- 
turned from  a  three  weeks'  eastern  trip. 
Count  von  Hoffmann,  with  his  family, 
left  August  4  for  a  ten  days'  trip  to  the 
Thousand  Islands,  N.  Y.  David  Banz- 
hoff  will  be  the  next  of  the  store's  force 
to  go  on  his  vacation. 

George  Schmidt,  in  charge  of  the  rose 
houses  at  the  W.  J.  Pilcher  range  at 
Kirkwood,  says  his  stock  is  in  fine  shape, 
especially  the  Russells  and  Hadleys. 

H.  J.  Heinicke,  of  Cornell  University, 
Dr.  Norman  E.  Pfeiffer,  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  North  Dakota,  Prof.  B.  S.  Brown,

broken  rib  having  mended.  Both  he 
and  Frank  Windier  escaped  the  first 
draft,  their  numbers  having  been  among 
the  last.  Some  good  quality  summer 
stock  from  the  W.  A.  Rowe  establish- 
ment at  Kirkwood  was  handled  by  the 
company  last  week. 

William  Smith  has  been  supplying  his 
force  with  fresh  vegetables  from  his 
farm,  to  which  he  makes  daily  trips  by 
auto. 

Fred  Alves,  of  the  George  H.  Anger- 
mueller  force,  expects  to  make  a  trip 
to  California,  where  he  will  remain  until 
fall.  He  believes  the  climate  will  bene- 
fit his  rheumatic  arm,  which  has  given 
him  much  trouble  lately. 

The  meetings  of  the  Lady  Florists' 
Home  Circle  have  been  abandoned  dur- 
ing the  summer.  The  first  meeting  in 
the  fall  will  be  held  at  the  home  of  Mrs. 
John  L.  Koenig. 

C.  E.  De  Wever,  of  Olivette,  is  cutting 
some  extra  fine  gladioli,  thanks  to  his 
Skinner  irrigation  system. 

The  August  meeting  of  the  St.  Louis 
Florists'  Club,  which  was  to  have  been 
held  at  Edward  Denker's  place  in  St. 
Charles  August  9,  was  held  aboard  the 
city  harbor  boat  Erastus  Wells,  instead. 
The  club  members  were  the  guests  of 
Park  Superintendent  Strehle.  A  trip  to 
Chain  of  Rocks  park  was  made. 

Hugo  Werner,  of  Werner  Bros.,  and 
George  Berner,  the  well  known  retailer, 
became  benedicts  last  week.  Their 
many  friends  in  the  trade  extend  con- 
gratulations. 

Mrs.  Carew  Sanders,  widow  of  the 
late  Carew  Sanders  and  motTier  of  C.  C. 
Sanders,  died  at  her  home,  5738  Vernon 
avenue,  at  the  age  of  89  years.  Funeral 
services  were  held  from  the  home 
August  4,  six  grandsons  acting  as  pall- 
bearers. Mrs.  Sanders'  husband  was 
one  of  the  pioneer  florists  and  nursery- 
men of  St.  Louis,  starting  in  business  in 
1859  with  Norman  J.  Coleman.  She  is 
survived  by  a  daughter  and  three  sons. 
Four  of  the  grandsons,  Oliver  K.,  Frank, 
Edgar  and  Walter  Sanders,  are  well 
known  in  the  florists'  trade.  Friends 
sent,  many  beautiful  floral  offerings. 

George  Asmus,  of  Chicago,  chairman 
of  the  National  Flower  Show  commit- 
tee, and  S.  S.  Pennock,  of  Philadelphia, 
representing  the  American  Rose  Society, 
were  in  St.  Louis  last  week," making  pre- 
liminary arrangements  for  the  National 
Flower  Show  to  be  held  next  April. 
They  met  the  local  committees  and  dis- 
cussed plans  for  the  show.  Mr.  Asmus 
also  conferred  with  L.  P.  Jensen,  chair- 
man of  the  grounds  committee,  which 
has  in  charge  the  erection  of  the  build- 
ing to  house  the  show.  This  will  be 
next  to  Moolah  Temple,  where  the  S.  A.

FORCED  PAMPAS  GRASS. 

What  are  the  names  of  the  varieties 
of  green  and  white  or  green  and  red 
pampas  grass,  such  as  are  forced  for 
Christmas?  G.  A. — O. 


Cortaderia,  or  Gynerium  argenteum, 
is  the  pampas  grass  of  horticulture. 
There  is  a  variegated  form  in  commerce. 
I  have  never  heard  of  this  particular 
grass  being  forced  for  Christmas,  or 
any  other  occasion.  It  is  a  grass  of  ro- 
bust habit.  Have  you  the  right  plant  in 
mind?  I  doubt  if  the  cortaderias  would 
be  of  any  value  for  Christmas.     C.  W.

BESULTS. 

We  give  them.    You  get  them. 

We  both  have  them. 

During  this  season  of  quiet  business, 
prepare  for  the  rush  that  is  to  come  soon. 

Because  of  the  high  cost  of  galvan- 
ized wire,  some  of  those  who  manufacture 
carnation  supports  as  a  side  line  have 
discontinued  the  business. 

During  the  next  to  the  last  week  in 
August,  much  money  received  for  floral 
decorations  will  be  used  to  decorate  the 
gay  white  way  in  New  York  city. 

This  is  the  open  season  for  the  coal 
mine  operators.  Several  of  the  states 
have  organized  posses  to  hunt  them  down, 
and  the  public  is  cheering  them  on. 

It  is  predicted  that  the  war  will  elim- 
inate many  unnecessary  things.  Florists, 
think  of  the  man  who  manufactures  the 
furs  that  women  wear  in  the  summer! 

Necessity  is  not  only  the  mother  of 
invention,  but  is  a  teacher  of  floriculture. 
Witness  the  successful  experiments  Amer- 
ican florists  are  making  in  growing  stock 
heretofore  imported. 

While  there  has  been  no  program  of 
entertainment  provided  for  the  visitors 
to  the  S.  A.  F.  convention.  Secretary  John 
Young  intimates  that  the  New  Yorkers 
are  most  hospitable  fellows. 

Many  a  man  in  the  trade  who  tries  to 
save  money  seems  to  think  the  way  to  do 
it  is  to  withhold  it  from  his  creditors; 
that  perbaps  is  an  easier  course  than  to 
deny  himself  habitual  indulgence,  personal 
or  business,  until  tjUfe  saving,  applied  to 
the  debts  and  to  the  accumulation  of  cap- 
ital, has  secured  financial  safety. 


The  call  for  field-grown  carnation 
plants,  like  many  other  items  of  stock, 
is  later  than  usual  this  year. 

Gladioli  now  are  coming  into  the  cut 
flower  markets  in  considerable  quantity, 
the  season  for  them  being  three  or  four 
weeks  later  than  usual. 

The  second  preliminary  schedule  of 
the  Fifth  National  Flower  Show,  to  be 
held  at  St.  Louis,  April  6  to  15,  1918, 
has  been  issued.  Copies  may  be  obtained 
by  addressing  John  Young,  secretary, 
53  West  Twenty-eighth  street,  New  York 
city. 

PLEASE  NOTE. 

Each  wreek  a  number  of  letters  con- 
taining advertising  instructions  reach 
The  Eeview  whik  the  paper  is  on  the 
press — just  a  few  hours  earlier  and  they 
would  have  had  attentiqn  a  week  S099er 
than  is  possible. 

It  is  the  aim  to  give  prompt  service, 
but  to  secure  it  advertisers  should  note: 
"It  is  impossible  to  guarantee  the  in- 
sertion, discontinuance  or  alteration  of 
any  advertisement  unless  instructions 
are  received  by  4  p.  m.  Tuesday." 


IT  DELIVERS  THE  GOODS. 

The  Eeview  each  week  acts  as  a  trav- 
eling salesman  for  hundreds  of  indi- 
viduals and  concerns  who  have  some- 
thing they  want  to  sell  to  florists.  But 
The  Eeview  is  many  times  as  efficient 
as  one  salesman,  or  a  group  of  salesmen, 
because  it  calls  on  more  than  12,000 
florists  each  week,  a  task  that  would 
tax  the  speed  of  the  speediest  bunch  of 
traveling  men.  It  not  only  calls  on  flo- 
rists, but  it  sells  them  the  goods.  Here 
is  the  proof: 

Please  discontinue  our  begonia  ad  in  the  Clas- 
sified columns.  We  sold  8,000  of  them  in  four 
weeks. — O.  M.  Reburn  &  Co.,  Ciiicago,  HI.,  Au- 
gust 4,   1917. 

Discontinue  our  ad  in  The  Florists'  Review,  as 
our  stock  of  Sprengeri,  smilax  and  mums  is 
about  sold  ont.  The  writer  must  say  that  the 
insertion  in  your  paper  certainly  brought  good 
results. — The  Miami  Floral  Co.,  A.  A.  Kramer, 
manager,  Dayton,  O.,  August  3,  1917. 

When  you  hear  a  man  complain  of  the 

cost  of  advertising,  you  can  be  pretty 

certain  he  spends  a  good  bit  of  money 

elsewhere  than  in  The  Eeview. 


MR.  PEABODY  ON  THE  DEFENSIVE. 

In  recent  issues  The  Eeview  has  pub- 
lished correspondence  with  F.  S.  Pea- 
body,  chairman  of  the  committee  on  coal 
production  of  the  Council  of  National 
Defense.  The  Eeview  is  only  one  of 
many  challenging  the  action  of  the  com- 
mittee as  a  party  in  the  fixing  of  coal 
prices,  as  the  daily  press,  which  at 
first  heralded  a  reduction,  has  come  to 
the  view  held  by  The  Eeview  from  the 
first,  that  Mr.  Peabody  and  his  commit- 
tee of  coal  men  were  playing  into  the 
hands  of  the  trade  from  which  they  were 
chosen.  The  result  of  the  weight  of 
criticism  has  been  to  place  Mr.  Peabody 
on  the  defensive.  Where  he  challenged 
The  Eeview 's  early  statement  that 
prices  had  been  fixed  but  not  reduced, 
he  now  writes  as  follows: 

The  object  of  establishing  tentative  maximum 
prices  was  to  reduce  the  price  o^  coal  in  the 
east,  whlckf  from  coneniners.  Bidding  one  against 
the  other,  .had  reached  abnormal  leiels,  being  as 
high  as  $6  and  iffT  a  tbn  M  thd>  Uiie;  -flbd  to 
prevent  the  prices  in  the  central  and  western 
parts  of  the  country  from  going  higher.  This 
could  only  be  done  by  the  voluntary  offer  of 
operators  to  recognize  any  tentative  prices  that 
might  be  established,  pending  an  Investigation 
by  the  Federal  Trade  Commission  as  to  the  cost 
of  production  in  the  various  producing  districts. 

There  have  been  such  marked  increases  in  the 
cost  of  production  during  the  last  year,  through 


increased  labor  expense  and  increased  cost  of 
all  material  used,  such  as  steel  rails,  copper 
wire,  powder,  mining  machinery,  etc.,  and  in- 
creases in  the  overhead  expenses,  which  through 
light  operating  time,  on  account  of  inadequate 
car  supply,  have  materially  Increased  the  cost 
per  ton,  that  It  was  deemed  wise  to  make  these 
prices  tentative  until  an  investigation  should 
determine  whether  any  changes  are  to  be  made. 
I  am  not  prepared  at  this  time  to  say  that  tlie 
tentative  prices  established  are  correct  in  all 
cases,  but  I  do  know  that  this  action  resulted 
in  radical  reductions  in  the  eastern  producing 
districts  and  prevented  prices  from  going  higher 
in  the  central  and  western  parts.  I  have  since 
had  complaints  from  several  operators  that  the 
prices  established  are  less  than  their  actual  cost 
of  production. 

So  utterly  opposed  to  Mr.  Peabody 's 
statement  of  facts  is  the  Illinois  com- 
mittee of  the  Council  of  National  De- 
fense, on  which  coal  consumers  have 
representation,  that  the  state  legisla- 
ture is  being  asked  to  regulate  the  pric« 
of  fuel  in  Illinois.

THE  WANT  AD  DEPA»l!MENT.  | 

No  doubt  you  have  noted  the  business"- 
like  appearance  of  the  jWanted  and  For 
Sale  department  of  The  Eeview;  small 
type,  compactly  spaced,  as  many  oppor- 
tunities as  it  is  possible  to  put  on  the 
pages.  Opportunities  to  buy.  to  sell 
and  to  hire.    It  works  quicklj^,  like  this: 

stop  the  ad;  I  have  sold  the  boilei';  the  first 
insertion  did  It.— L.  D.  Fisher,  Sterling,  Kan., 
July  26,   1917. 

If  you  have  nothing  to  offer  in  the 
Wants  and  For  Sale,  watch  what  the 
other  man  offers. 


VACATION  TIME. 

Hundreds  of  those  actively  engaged  in 
the  florists'  business  are  now  away  on 
their  vacations  and,  as  would  be  expect- 
ed of  those  handling  the  products  of 
nature,  a  great  majority  are  spending 
their  play  time  in  the  country,  or  at 
the  lake  or  sea  shore.  They  are  taking 
advantage  of  the  dull  summer  months 
to  get  fit  and  full  of  energy  for  the  ac- 
tivities of  the  months  of  winter.  The 
busy  season  means  long  hours  of  stren- 
uous work  for  florists,  but  just  now  they 
are  reaping  the  benefits  of  their  labor 
and  are  enjoying  their  vacations  with 
the  freedom  that  comes  only  from  know- 
ing that  their  rest  has  been  earned,  and 
that  there  is  nothing  calling  them  back 
to  work. 

CHICAQO. 


The  Market. 


Business  continues  to  hold  up  satis- 
factorily in  the  wholesale  cut  flower 
market.  Taken  by"  and  large,  the  qual- 
ity of  the  stock  for  this  season  of  the 
year  is  good  and  no  general  oversupply 
can  be  complained  of.  In  fact,  with  the 
latter  days  of  last  week  a  decided 
shortening  of  stock,  and  especially  of 
roses,  was  felt.  With  carnations  practi- 
cally out,  this  shortage  of  good  roses 
was  instrumental  i«  increasing  the  de- 
mand for  gladioli  and  asters,  which  are 
of  good  quality  and  now  arrive  in  ample 
quantities,  and  for  other  summer  stock, 
large  shipments  of  which  were  moved  at 
^satisfactory  prices.  The  market  con- 
tinued strong  August  6,  but  a  falling  off 
in  demand  took  place  August  7. 

There  are  only  a  few  American  Beau- 
ties obtainable,  and  what  stock  arrives 
is  <Ji8posed  of  without  difficulty.  Of 
the  other  varieties  of  roses  there  is  a 
marked"  scarcit^'of  the  better  qualities, 
most  of  the  sto^  being  of  the  shorter 
grades.  Eussell  continues  in  popularity 
and  has  a  good  sale.  There  is  a  scarcity 
of  White  Killarney.     A  few  low-grade

carnations  still  arrive,  but  on  the  whole 
they  are  not  suitable  for  shipping  pur- 
poses. 

The  most  important  of  the  summer 
flowers  are  gladioli  and  asters.  Of  the 
former  some  especially  fine  stock  is 
seen  and  large  quantities  are  being 
moved  daily.  Mrs.  King  is  not  arriving 
in  large  quantities  as  yet,  but  sells  well. 
America,  which  arrives  in  more  abun- 
dant numbers,  is  also  a  favorite  with  the 
trade.  The  novelties  sell  well.  Al- 
though it  is  claimed  the  recent  heat 
wave  has  somewhat  impaired  the  quality 
of  the  asters,  some  good  stock  is,  never- 
theless, arriving  and  finds  a  ready  mar- 
ket. In  fact,  there  can  be  no  real  com-' 
plaint  on  the  quality  of  the  asters  of 
the  last  week. 

The  heat  also  has  made  itself  felt  on 
sweet  peas,  and  what  stock  arrives  is 
mostly  of  inferior  quality.  Orchids  and 
valley  both  remain  on  the  short  side 
of  the  market.  Easter  lilies  are  plenti- 
ful, as  are  rubrums,  but  both  act  rather 
lethargic.  The  first  of  the  outdoor  crop 
of  stocks  is  arriving.  Shasta  daisies 
are  plentiful,  but  more  slowly.  Gypso- 
phila  and  feverfew  are  in  good  demand. 
There  is  plenty  of  candytuft,  but  not 
much  call  for  it.  Centaurea  moves  slowly. 
Snapdragons  are  of  poor  quality  and  do 
not  sell  well. 

The  Fuel  Problem. 

Growers  are  not  finding  it  easier  to 
buy  coal.  The  fuel  is  to  be  had,  but  the 
price  is  firm  at  $2.75  per  ton  for  Frank-

wait  another  month  before  beginning

PHILADELPHIA. 


The  Market. 


The  torrid  wave  has  passed,  leaving 
its  mark  in  business  conditions.  While 
the  extreme  heat  lasted  business  fell  off, 
almost  ceased.  "When  the  heat  began 
to  abate  business  improved,  as  normal 
conditions  returned.  The  heavy  mortal- 
ity was  a  factor. 

Good  flowers,  flowers  that  have  been 
faithfully  cared  for  throughout  all  the 
changes  of  weather,  are  none  too  plenti- 
ful. The  tendency  is  downward  as  the 
crops  pass  and  the  heat  stays.  The 
moderate  number  of  really  good  flowers 
are  much  sought,  while  the  far  larger 
number  of  medium  and  poor-grade  flow-' 
ers  are  diflB.cult  to  sell.  The  early  asters 
are  retrograding,  with  a  few  exceptions. 
Gladioli  have  suffered  from  the  heat. 
The  finer  varieties,  such  as  America, 
Augusta,  Panama  and  Mrs.  Francis 
King,  are  pretty  fair  and  are  in  demand, 
but  the  poorer  mixed  sorts  are  of  no 
account  and  prove  only  a  waste  of  time 
to  grow. 

The  Easter  lily  market  has  under- 
gone a  complete  change.  Probably  no 
more  complete  change  could  occur  in  one 
week.  When  the  week  opened  they 
were  in  heavy  supply,  with  few  buyers. 
The  price  was  $5  to  $6  per  hundred  on 
ordinary  stock.  Most  of  the  sales  were 
in  small  lots  and  many  flowers  were  left 
unsold.  There  were  a  few  large  sales 
at  $45  per  thousand.  As  the  week 
progressed  the  buying  became  more 
active,  largely  influenced  by  funeral 
orders.  The  surplus  was  consumed. 
The  lilies  were  bought  as  they  reached 
the  city.  The  price  advanced  to  $8  a 
hundred,  sometimes  $70  per  thousand. 
This  advance  from  $6  to  $8  gives  but  a 
faint  idea  of  the  real  difference.  There 
were  but  few  sold  at  $6,  while  there 
were  many  sold  at  $8.  When  $6  was 
top,  the  average  price  was  somewhat 
near  $3.50;  when  $8  was  top,  the  aver- 
age price  was  near  $7.25  to  $7.50.

also  extremely  difficult  to  get  them  to

simply  lend  variety.  They  hardly  de-

have  you  placed  your  contract?"  This 
is  looked  upon  as  a  piece  of  meddling, 
or  even  worse,  but  was  probably  merely 
intended  to  aid  in  working  up  statistics. 
What  the  government  wants  to  know  is 
how  much  and  what  kind  of  coal  the 
country  requires  for  industrial  pur- 
poses. Every  florist  should  do  his  utmost 
to  aid  his  country  in  getting  this  infor-

The  street  is  full  of  rumors  concerning 
the  business  plans  of  Charles  E.  Meehan. 
One  story  is  that  he  will  teenter  the 
wholesale  commission  field  in  Septem- 
ber; another  is  that  one  of  the  trust 
companies  will  snap  him  up.  The  result 
is  awaited  with  interest.  Everyone  who 
knows  him  feels  that  Mr.  Meehan  will 
be  a  credit  to  whatever  walk  of  life  he 
elects  to  follow. 

Various  Notes. 

Thomas  B.  Cartledge,  A.  B.  Cartledge 
and  A.  B.  Cartledge,  Jr.,  successively

eldest  son,  the  last  to  go  under  treat- 
ment, is  doing  nicely.  The  younger  son, 
a  lad  of  14  years,  was  the  first  to  enter 
and  to  recover.

that  what  jjrompted  this  artjclo  is  tliat 
in  going  about  1  have  asked  sonic  of 
the  younger  men  in  the  business  why 
they  were  not  more  regularly  in  attend- 
ance at  the  club  meetings.  Their  an- 
swers have  been  that  there  was  **  noth- 
ing to  interest  them"  at  the  meetings. 
Now,  this  brings  up  the  question: 
What  is  the  object  of  the  club?  When 
the  club  first  was  organized  its  object 
was  to  provide  a  place  where  the  florists 
could  meet,  and  by  discussion  and  inter- 
change of  experiences  help  each  other 
in  conducting  their  businesses.  This 
object  has  been  and  still  is  carried  out, 
but  the  business  has  grown  so,  would 
it  not  be  well  to  introduce  new  methods 
in  the  club,  the  same  as  we  have  in  our 
business?  Perhaps  the  club  has  not 
kept  pace  with  the  modern  methods  in- 
troduced into  the  business,  but  it  is  well 
to  remember  that  the  young  fellows 
know  nothing  else  but  these  new  meth- 
ods, and  expect  the  same  thing  at  the 
club  meetings. 

Never  Too  Old  to  Learn. 

Last  winter  we  had  a  course  of  lec- 
tures by  good  men.  I  may  speak  par- 
ticularly of  one  by  Prof.  Anspan,  of 
the  Maryland  State  Agricultural  Col- 
lege. His  subject  was  "Landscape 
Gardening  as  Applied  to  the  Home," 
illustrated  with  stereopticon  views, 
which  made  it  practical,  indeed.  As  I 
listened  to  the  lecture,  looked  at  the 
views  and  noted  the  rapt  attention  such 
men  as  Isaac  H.  Moss  were  paying,  T  re- 
called a  favorite  expression  of  William 
D.  Brackenbridge.  When  he  was  about 
80  years  of  age  he  heard  a  young  fellow 
who  was  conveying  the  impression  that 
he  knew  it  all".  Then  the  veteran  re- 
marked: "Young  man,  I  have  worked 
with  flowers  and  trees  all  of  my  life, 
and  I  am  still  only  an  apprentice." 
When  a  man  who  was  picked  to  go  out 
with  the  Wilkes  expedition  as  botanist 
for  the  Smithsonian  Institution,  and 
was  one  of  the  men  w^ho  started  the  Bo- 
tanical Gardens  in  Washington,  has  such 
a  humble  o]Mnion  of  his  abilities  as  a 
florist,  there  is  surely  none  of  us  too  old 
or  too  wise  to  learn. 

How  would  it  do  this  winter  to  elabo- 
rate a  little  on  this  lecture  feature;

I  liave  often  gone  into  some  emjjty 
church  where  I  would  have  a  job  for  a 
wedding  with  an  illustration  gotten 
from  one  of  the  trade  journals  in  my 
mind,  and  with  it  for  a  working  basis, 
studied  the  chaneel — this  perliaps  fi 
week  before  the  wedding.  During  that 
week  1  would  add  to  or  take  from  the 
original  ])lan,  always  keeping  in  my 
mind  's  eye  the  finislied  job.  When  the 
day  for  the  actual  work  came  around  I 
had   only   to  put   the   material   in   place. 

It  is  often  the  work  of  the  floral  deco- 
rator to  cover  sonu'  \insightly  spot,  but 
it  is  just  as  much  his  busiiiess  tOjk»e  on 
the  lookout  |or  some  ^ioco  of  fUriMtjIre, 
ornament  or  fixture  that  he  can  bring 
out  to  better  advantage. 

I  recall  a  job  at  the  old  Baltimore 
Club  that  attracted  a  great  deal  of  at- 
tention. It  Mas  for  an  "open  house"

tience  of^Oa'.  decorator.  In  one  of  the 
lounging  rooms  there  was  a  large  Eng- 
lish fireplace  with  a  huge  mantel  above 
it.  Over  the  mantel  there  was  as  fine 
a  specimen  of  an  elk's  head  as  I  had 
ever  seen  mounted,  the  antlers  being 
especially  good.  With  plants  arranged 
on  this  mantel,  it  gave  the  effect  of  an 
elk  peering  through  the  foliage  in  a 
forest.  This  bit  of  the  decoration  at- 
tracted more  attention  than  anything 
else  in  the  house  that  day,  and  it  was 
the  elk's  head  that  did  it. 

A  short  time  ago  Eobert  Halliday 
was  showing  me  a  number  of  photo- 
graphs of  decorations,  funeral  designs 
and  bridal  bouquets,  all  work  done  by 
him.  As  I  looked  them  over,  the 
thought  came  to  me  what  a  lot  of  ideas 
could  be  gleaned  from  these  pictures. 
Designs  among  them  that  had  cost  the 
least  were  the  most  artistic.  This  re- 
called to  me  a  favorite  expression  of  his 
father:  "Anyone  can  make  a  design 
when  he  has  plenty  of  stuff,  and  the 
price  will  permit  its  use,  but  the  true 
artist  is  the  one  who  can  arrange  a  de- 
sign   that    will    please     when     stuff     is 


scarce. 


Club  Notes. 


A  letter  was  read  at  the  last  meet- 
ing of  the  Florists'  Club  from  N.  F. 
Flitten,  the  secretary,  who  has  been 
ill.  Everyone  was  glad  to  hear  he  was 
on  the  highroad  to  recovery.  Harry 
Ekas,  of  the  Leo  Niessen  Co.,  is  taking 
care  of  the  minutes  during  Mr.  Flitten 's 
absence. 

Eichard  Vincent,  Jr.,  of  White 
Marsh,  Md.,  was  with  us  again,  the 
first  time  in  a  good  while.  "Uncle 
Richard,"  as  he  is  lovingly  called  by 
the  boys,  was  given  jel  warm  reception. 
He  said  that  something  had  prevented 
his  coming  to  the  last  several  meetings. 
Anyone  who  knows  ' '  Uncle  Eichard ' ' 
knows  that  it  must  have  been  some- 
thing important,  for  he  is  one  of  the 
most  faithful  members. 

F.  C.  Bauer,  the  president  of  the 
club,  is  spending  his  week  ends  at  liis 
bungalow  on  the  Patapsco.  Tate. 

Lackawanna,  N.  Y. — The  Victory 
Floral  Co.  has  been  organized  to  deal 
in  shrubs  and  plants.  The  capital  stock 
of  the  company  is  $60,000.  The  incor- 
porators are  Eobert  C.  Avery  and

BOSTON. 

The  Market. 

The  terrific  heat  wave  from,  which 
Boston,  in  common  with  other  parts  of 
the  country,  suffered  last  week,  put 
almost  a  complete  quietus  on  the  cut 
flower  industry  temporarily.  With  offi- 
cial maximum  readings  of  98  degrees 
on  four  successive  days,  growers,  sales- 
men, wholesalers  and  retailers  had  a 
hard  week  of  it.  Arrivals  at  this  season 
fortunately  are  at  their  lowest  ebb  and 
the  heat  further  reduced  supplies.  Such 
flowers  as  arrived  in  good  condition  sold 
fairly  well,  and  now  that  we  can  breathe 
more  comfortably  conditions  are  not  at 
all  bad.  Eoses  have  been  of  poor  qual- 
ity, some  with  scorched  foliage.  Prices 
on  hybrid  teas  have  ranged  from  $1  to 
$8  per  hundred.  Beauties  are  plentiful 
and  of  fair  summer  quality,  but  there 
are  no  heavy  calls  for  them.  The  few 
carnations  coming  in  are  of  little  value. 
Sweet  peas  were  hard  hit  by  the  heat 
wave  and  such  as  are  seen  have  short 
stems. 

Asters  are  in  much  larger  supply  and 
sales  are  at  lower  prices,  with  a  consid- 
erable surplus.  Good  local  outdoor 
gladioli  are  now  arriving.  Panama, 
America,  Chicago  White  and  Lily  Leh- 
man are  good  sellers.  Lilies  are  abun- 
dant and  quite  a  variety  of  annuals  are 
seen.  The  heat  and  drought  have  fin- 
ished the  perennial  gypsophila.  Little 
bouvardia  has  appeared,  mostly  Hum- 
boldtii.  Cattleyas  are  now  becoming 
scarce. 

Various  Notes. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Henry  Penn  are  enjoy- 
ing a  month's  vacation  at  Belgrade 
Lakes,  !Me.,  where  breezes  are  cool  and 
fishing  is  good.  William  Penn,  just 
back  from  his  vacation,  had  excep- 
tional success  fishing,  capturing  seventy 
pickerel  one  afternoon.  He  also  se- 
cured a  good  number  of  salmon.  Ben- 
jamin Freeman,  of  Penn's  staff,  was 
presented  with  a  wrist  watch  and  a 
generous  supply  of  cigars,  tobacco,  etc., 
August  3,  before  he  joined  the  colors. 
Joseph  F.  White  is  enjoying  his  vaca- 
tion at  Ogunquit,  Me.  The  duck  farm 
window  remains  a  stellar  attraction  and 
on  the  hottest  days  last  week  crowds 
could  be  seen  admiring  it.

50  years'  experience  in  the  florist  business  guarantees 
efficiency  to  take  care  of  all  oraers.   20  per  cent  allowed. 

July  business  averaged  a  little  better 
than  that  of  1916.  July  was  the  driest 
since  1909.  The  total  rainfall  was  1.1 
inches,  against  a  normal  of  3.36  inches. 
The  mean  temperature  was  73  degrees, 
against  a  normal  of  71.3.  There  were 
ten  clear  days,  fifteen  partly  cloudy  and 
six  cloudy.  The  maximum  temperature 
was  98  degrees  and  the  minimum  53 
degrees.  Crops  are  suffering  terribly 
from  the  heat  and  drought. 

Carbone  's  are  large  importers  from 
Europe  and  have  been  singularly  for- 
tunate in  not  losing  a  single  shipment 
since  the  great  war  opened.  They  have 
received  some  choice  garden  furniture 
of  late,  which  has  sold  well.  They  have 
large  wedding  decorations  at  Magnolia, 
Mass.,  and  York  Harbor,  Me.,  August  18 
and  23,  respectively. 

Andrew  Christensen,  of  Stoneham,  has 
his  carnations  out  and  will  start  re- 
planting during  the  present  week.  He 
will  plant  a  good  many  more  Nancy 
this  season.  This  variety  did  well  last 
winter  and  spring.  His  other  favorites 
are  Pink  Delight,  Alice,  Matchless, 
Benora,  Beacon,  Champion  and  Ward. 
Some  of  the  old  Queen  and  the  new  Al- 
bert Roper  will  also  be  planted.  The 
first  named  has  always  done  particu- 
larly well  with  Mr.  Christensen. 

Martin  Wax  got  home  August  3  from 
a  five  weeks'  most  successful  fishing 
trip  in  Maine  and  Quebec.  A  number 
of  the  staff  left  on  vacations  this  week,

The  Budlong  Eose  Co.  reports  that  the 
foliage  on  quite  a  number  of  its  roses 
was  scorched  during  the  recent  heat 
wave,  and  that  the  quality  declined. 
This  week  the  roses  are  arriving  in  bet- 
ter shape  and  selling  well. 

M.  Aronson  is  receiving  good  gladioli 
from  Woodward,  of  Saxonville,  the 
best  varieties  being  Spring  Song,  Halley, 
Lily  Lehman,  Emperor  of  India  aiul 
Chicago  White. 

Blue  bachelor's  buttons,  which  used 
to  be  poj)ular  market  flowers,  now  are 
in  decided  disfavor.  The  only  way  they 
can  be  sold  to  advantage  is  for  use  in 
tricolor  boutonnieres.  Too  bad  that 
prejudice  should  spoil  the  sales  of  a 
])retty,  old-fashioned  and  innocent 
flower. 

Peter  Fisher  started  housing  his  car- 
nations August  6.  Thanks  to  the  aid 
of  the  Skinner  system  of  irrigation,  his 
l)lants  are  fine,  much  better  than  if  they 
had  been  housed  before  the  late  heat 
wave.  He  is  cutting  good  Ophelia  roses. 
This  variety  does  specially  well  with 
him.  He  has  dropped  Killarney  and 
White  Killarney  as  unjjrofitable,^  these 
lacking  petalage. 

The  gar<len  committee  of  the  Massa-

committee  spent  a  most  enjoyable  after- 
noon, the  journey  by  motor  cars  being 
most  interesting. 

John  Barr,  of  South  Natick,  one  of 
our  champion  carnationists,  has  faith 
in  the  future  of  the  divine  flower,  as 
evidenced  by  the  erection  of  a  new 
house  200  feet  long,  now  ready  for  the 
glaziers.  Mr.  Barr  planted  out  nearly 
100,000  carnations,  and  in  spite  of  the 
drought  they  look  splendid. 

William  E.  Nicholson,  of  Traming- 
ham,  has  his  mums  planted  and  carna- 
tions all  pulled  out.  He  will  start  re- 
planting toward  the  end  of  this  week. 
He  has  a  grand  batch  of  the  new  rose- 
pink  Albert  Eoper,  on  which  he  pins 
great  faith.

required,  all  side  or  lateral  growths  are 
removed  as  soon  as  they  are  large  enough 
to  be  handled  with  the  finger  and 
thumb, 

I  explained  at  the  beginning  of  this 
paper  that  Livingston's  Globe  was  of 
ideal  growth,  yet  the  shortening  of  the 
foliage  is  necessary  in  order  that  suffi- 
cient sunlight  may  penetrate  to  each 
individual  plant  to  produce  sturdy 
growth  and  fruitfulness.  This  consists 
of  removing  part  of  the  foliage  from 
each  leaf  stalk  to  accomplish  the  object 
in  view,  but  no  more. 

Pollination  is  a  most  important  mat- 
ter and  must  receive  proper  attention, 
otherwise  maximum  results  cannot  be 
obtained,  especially  in  setting  fruit  in 
October  and  February,  or  during  other 
dull  or  cold  weather  when  airy  condi- 
tions cannot  be  given  in  the  house.  The 
best  means  of  distributing  the  pollen 
grains  is  by  using  a  rabbit's  tail,  or 
other  such  fur,  attached  to  a  light 
wooden  stake.  Go  over  the  flowers  with 
this  every  bright  or  airy  day  before 
noon,  or  directly  after  the  noon  hour. 
In  order  that  conditions  may  be  as 
favorable  as  possible  for  pollination, 
the  air  in  the  house  should  be  dry. 
Therefore  all  watering  should  be  done 
early  in  the  morning  or  any  time  after 
pollination  has  been  done.  This  should 
receive  special  attention  in  the  fall  and 
early  spring.

Maintain  a  night  temperature  of  58 
to  60  degrees  during  fine  weather  and 
also  during  the  period  of  pollination, 
after  which,  while  the  same  temperature 
should  be  aimed  at,  it  may  be  reduced  5 
degrees  when  the  weather  is  extremely 
severe.  It  is  wise  to  do  this,  for  in 
attempting  to  keep  up  the  temperature 
the  plants  will  be  weakened.  The 
maximum  temperature  by  day  by  fire 
heat  during  dull  or  extra  cold  weather 
should  not  be  much  above  60,  with  an 
increase  of  from  5  to  10  degrees  accord- 
ing to  weather.  By  sun  heat  alone  the 
temperature  may  run  up  quite  high, 
providing  an  abundance  of  air  is  ad- 
mitted. 

Control  of  WMte  Fly. 

Never  allow  the  soil  to  approach 
dryness.  This  is  especially  important 
during  the  period  of  pollination,  as  a 
drying  out  of  the  soil  at  that  time  may 
mean  the  loss  of  a  truss  of  fruit  here 
and  there  by  the  flowers  shriveling,  and 
it  is  just  as  important  afterward  in 
swelling  the  fruit  to  a  good  size,  thus 
finishing  the  fruit  in  heavy,  plump 
condition. 

The  only  insect  which  soems  to  care 
for  the  tomato  is  white  fly,  which  is 
controlled  by  fumigating  with  potassium 
cyanide,  sulphuric  acid  and  water,  in  the 
following  proportions  per  1,000  cubic 
feet: 

_  .       .  .  Ounce 

rotassinm    ryanido    y^ 

Siilpliiirie    acid l^ 

Water    '.".".'.'."."  1 

Eartlionware  jars  are  required,  or 
fairly  large  bowls  will  suit.  These 
should  be  spaced  at  intervals  of  thirty 
feet  or  thereabouts.  Measure  the  cubic 
space  of  the  house,  dividing  this  by  the 
number  of  jars  required.  In  preparing 
the  jars,  first  of  all  put  in  the  water, 
then  add  the  sulphuric  acid  quietly. 
Now  weigh -the  cyanide  required  for 
each  jar  and  wrap  it  in  a  piece  of  tissue 
paper,  or,  what  is  even  handier,  place 
it  in  small  flower  pots.  When  every- 
thing is  ready,  place  the  jars  containing 
the  liquid  in  the  house,  return  for  the 
cyanide,  placing  it  alongside  each  jar. 
Then  commence  at  the  farther  end  of 
the  house,  dropping  the  cyanide  in  as 
you  are  making  for  the  exit.  Leave  the 
house   at   once  and   do  not   enter   again

for  at  least  four  hours;  in  fact,  every- 
thing should  be  arranged  so  that  there 
will  be  no  necessity  for  entering  until 
morning. 

Having  explained  how  to  go  about  the 
actual  fumigation,  there  remain  a  few 
other  points  of  equal  importance  that 
have  to  be  observed  in  this  connection. 
A  still  night  with  a  clear  atmosphere 
should  be  chosen,  the  gas  doing  its  work 
and  escaping  quickly,  which  is  desirable. 
The  night  you  intend  fumigating  avoid 
watering  the  benches  that  day,  in  order 
that  the  air  in  the  house  may  be  as  dry 
as  possible,  and  in  order  to  assist  in 
bringing  about  this  condition  run  the 
temperature  high  that  night. 

Picking  and  Packing. 

For  the  local  trade  the  fruits  are 
usually  wanted  fairly  ripe.  For  ship- 
ping, however,  they  should  be  picked 
while  they  are  still  quite  firm,  in  order 
to  reach  the  consumer  in  good  condition. 
Let  it  be  understood,  however,  that  the 
consumer  wants  fruit  that  is  ripe,  pro- 
viding there  is  no  danger  of  waste. 
Therefore  it  is  to  the  grower's  advan- 
tage not  to  pick  fruit  that  is  too  green, 
as  every  day  adds  weight  to  them. 

In  packing  for  shipment  we  use  a 
crate  the  inside  measurements  of  which 
are:  Length,  twenty-one  inches;  width, 
twelve  and  one-half  inches;  depth,  five 
and  one-half  inches.  This  crate  holds 
four  4 14 -quart  baskets,  packed  with  two 
layers  of  fruits,  which  are  wrapped  in 
tissue  paper,  the  weight  per  crate  being 
around  twenty  pounds.     In  fine  weather

no  paper  is  used  for  lining  the  crate,  but 
in  winter  we  do  this  and  then  wrap  each 
crate  in  heavy  wrapping  paper,  using 
plenty  of  newspapers  as  well.  We  have 
been  shipping  in  this  manner  for  years 
and  have  never  had  any  complaint  re- 
garding injury  from  frost. 

It  is  quite  possible  to  increase  the 
earning  capacity  of  the  space  devoted 
to  the  late  summer  crop  by  planting  let- 
tuce between  the  plants.  This  was  done 
at  the  college  this  year  with  success, 
well  grown  plants  of  good  size  being 
used.  As  the  tomato  plants  were  eight- 
eon  inches  apart,  the  lettuce  had  plenty 
of  room  for  develoi)ment  under  good 
light  conditions,  and  as  lettuce  grows 
rapidly  at  that  time  of  the  year  it  was 
lit  to  cut  and  to  be  sold  before  the  to- 
mato growth  interfered  to  any  extent. 
This  could  not  be  done  with  either  of 
the  other  crops,  as  it  is  too  early  for 
lettuce  to  intercrop  the  fall  and  early 
winter  crops,  althougli  the  same  favor- 
able growing  conditions  would  obtain 
at  that  time;  and  it  would  be  out  of  the 
(luestion  to  attempt  intercropping  the 
sj)ring  and  early  summer  croits,  as  tem- 
j)erature  and  other  conditions  would  be 
most  unfavorable.

An  exceptionally  busy  Saturday  ended 
an  otherwise  uneventful  week.  A  wel- 
come descent  of  the  mercury  helped 
somewhat  in  restoring  vitality  to  busi-

sioned by  a  deluge  of  funeral  work,  in

serious  decline  if  the  drought  continues 
long  unbroken.  Good  gladioli  are  read- 
ily absorbed;  likewise  roses,  the  quality 
of  which  is  seasonably  off  at  present. 
Easter  lilies  are  in  oversupply,  miscel- 
laneous garden  stock  is  plentiful  and 
greens  of  all  kinds  are  easily  obtained. 
Good  valley  is  scarce,  and  so  are  orchids, 
for  which  there  are  frequent  calls. 

Various  Notes. 

That  the  method  employed  by  J.  W. 
Rodgers,  of  Dayton,  O.,  as  described  in 
last  week's  issue  of  The  Review,  of 
going  after  business  even  in  dull  times, 
is  full  of  possibility,  has  been  amply 
proven  at  the  Gasser  Co.  store.  Last 
fall  Manager  Brown  adopted  this  unique 
plan  of  approaching  a  selected  list  of 
flower  buyers,  with  such  gratifying  re- 
sults that  it  is  not  only  being  continued 
but  its  scope  is  also  laeing  enlarged  as 
the  returns  increase.  This  and  many 
similar  ideas  serve  to  point  out  what  a 
wonderfully  fertile  field  is  that  of  com- 
mercial floriculture,  only  the  surface  of

which  has  as  yet  been  scratched,  with 
the  riches  in  store  for  them  that  delve 
deeper. 

That  there  will  be  no  importations  of 
baskets  and  other  supplies  from  Japan 
this  fall  and  early  winter,  is  an  assured 
thing  now.  The  transfer  of  the  mer- 
chant vessels  in  the  Pacific  to  the  war 
service  is  the  immediate  cause  of  this 
condition.  This  is  bad  news  for  Cleve- 
land florists,  as  many  orders  were  placed 
by  them  with  Japanese  firms  last  spring. 

F.  C.  Bartels,  of  the  Gasser  range,  is 
much  worried  by  the  delay  in  the  arrival 
of  tile  for  the  benches  in  the  new  green- 
house, the  completion  of  the  work  being 
held  up.  His  young  rose  stock  has  been 
kept  regularly  shifted  and  is  in  excel- 
lent condition. 

F.  E.  Williams,  of  the  Cleveland  Cut 
Flower  Co.,  is  off  for  a  month's  vacation, 
touring  through  New  York  state  and 
parts  of  Canada. 

J.  Bletcher,  of  the  Canton  Flower 
Shop,  paid  a  visit  to  the  wholesale 
market  last  week,  purchasing  stock  for 
a  large  wedding  order. 

Adgate  &  Son,  of  Warren,  O.,  exe-

A.  C.  BROWN, 

LARGE  GREENHOMSES 

Aquatics,  fountains,  miniature  lakes 
and  beachevS,  etc.,  are  figuring  exten- 
sively in  the  windows  of  the  leading 
retail  stores  at  i)resent. 

Among  recent  visitors  were  Mrs.  V.  L. 
Schluraff,  of  the  Schluraflf  Floral  Co., 
Erie,  Pa.,  and  K.  E.  Blackshaw,  of  the 
A.  L.  Randall  Co.,  Chicago. 

While  returning  from  the  bank  with 
the  pay  roll  to  Rocky  River  last  Satur- 
day, F.  C.  Bartels  had  the  misfortune 
to  collide  with  a  Lake  Shore  electric 
car.  While  not  seriously  hurt,  Mr.  Bar- 
tels was  pretty  badly  bruised  and 
shaken  up,  his  new  Dodge  car  being 
completely  wrecked. 

H.  P.  Knoble  and  Frank  Friedley  and 
families  are  off  to  Putin-Bay  for  a  few 
days'  enjoyment  of  tlie  cooling  lake 
breezes  and  fishing.  Woe  to  members  of 
the  finny  tribe  to  whom  tidings  of  the 
coming  of  these  miglity  anglers  have 
not  been  passed ! 

The  regular  meeting  of  the  Cleveland 
Florists'  Club  was  held  in  the  rooms  at 
the  Ilollenden  hotel  August  6.  There 
was  a  large  attendance,  due  in  part, 
somebody  said,  to  the  fact  that  refresh- 
ments were  to  1)0  served,  by  courtesy 
of  the  wliolesale  tlorists.  The  commit- 
tee on  entertainment  announced  that 
the  annual  ])icnic  would  be  held  at  Wil- 
lough  beacli.  A  fine  jirogram  is  in 
course  of  preparation,  a  feature  of 
whicli  is  to  lie  a  baseball  game.  After 
the  nominations  of  ollicers  a  social  ses- 
sion was  held,  with  speeches,  music  and 
a  generally  good  time.  J.  McL. 


Elmhurst,  L.  I. — Peter  Beuerlein,  who 
for  more  than  twenty-five  years  con- 
ducted a  flower  store  on  Queens  boule- 
vard near  Grand  street,  has  moved  his 
stock  to  his  farm  near  Westwood,  N.  J. 
The  removal  was  caused  l)y  tlie  work  of 
widening  Queens  boulevard.  j 

Grand  Ledge,  Mich.— M.  W.  Doty 
has  purchased  D.  C.  Huggett's  interest 
in  the  firm  of  Doty  &  Huggett  and  will 
continue  the  business  alone.  Mr.  Doty 
has  been  the  managing  partner  during 
the  last  four  years.  He  reports  that 
business  last  season  was  satisfactory.

The  Florists^  Review 


August  9,  1917. 


Seed  Trade  News 

.    AXERICAN  SEED  T&AOE  ASSOCIATION. 

President,  F.  W.  Bolgiano,  WashinKton,  D.  0.; 
Secretary-Treasurer,  0.  B.  Kendel.  Cleveland,  O. 

"W.  W.  Barnard,  Chicago,  again  is  in 
the  hospital. 

The  Fangboner  Seed  Co.,  Bellevue, 
Ohio,  has  been  incorporated  tor  $50,000 
and  will  deal  exclusively  in  seed  corn, 
wheat  and  oats. 

Not  only  has  it  been  the  biggest  seed 
selling  season,  but  the  seed  houses  that 
handle  plants  over  the  counter  have  had 
a  tremendous  business,  especially  in  vege- 
table plants. 

.♦      The  American  Seedtape  Co.,  with  prin- 

j  cipal  office  at  365  Ogden  street,  Newark, 

*  has  been  incorporated  under  the  laws  of 

Ne^.JeriBey   with   $1,000,000   capital,   to 

manufacture  the  seed  container  known  as 

seedtape. 

As  an  indication  of  the  thoroughness 
with  which  certain  of  the  Holland  houses 
now  curry  the  American  field,  Westerbeek 
&  Klyn,  in  additioh  to  a  permanent  rep- 
.;  resentative  in  New  IJprk,  have' light  trav- 
elers on  the  road  here. 

The  labor  question  is  one  of  the  worst 
of  the  numerous  problems  confronting  the 
California  seed  growers.  It  is  reported 
by  some  of  them  that  they  are  required 
to  pay  $5  a  day  for  Chinese  labor,  or  see 
it  employed  in  other  lines. 

Frank  Rudy,  vice-president  of  the 
Eudy-Patrick  Seed  Co.,  Kansas  City,  who 
retired  from  active  business  about  a  year 
ago  on  account  of  failing  health,  died 
July  31,  aged  59  years,  and  was  buried 
the  afternoon  of  August  2.  He  is  sur- 
vived by  a  widow,  one  son  and  one 
daughter. 

Latest  reports  from  the  west  are  that 
the  pea  yield  will  run  from  twenty-five  to 
fifty  per  cent  of  a  crop.  Many  canners 
and  growers  now  feel  that  they  would 
have  been  better  pleased  if  their  con- 
tracts had  all  been  in  Wisconsin  and  the 
eastern  section,  instead  of  in  the  irri- 
gated country. 

The  extreme  heat  and  hot  winds  of 
the  last  week  in  July  have  caused  onion 
sets  at  Chicago  to  go  down  rapidly  and 
they  are  ripening  olf  small  and  will  not 
bushel  up  and  make  so  large  a  yield  as 
was  expected  teii  days  ago.  Harvesting 
is  under  way  aga  considerable  difficulty 
is  found  in  getting  sufficient  help  in  the 
field. 

The  Berry  Seed  Co.,  Clarinda,  la.,  has 
begun  work  on  a  3-8tory  brick  addition  to 
its  office  building.  The  new  structure  will 
be  the  same  height  and  width  as  the 
present  building.  When  completed  it  will 
be  used  to  house  the  printing  office  and 
garden  seed  mailing  department.  Last 
season's  business  was  the  largest  in  the 
history  of  the  company,  officials  say. 

Representatives  of  the  Leonard  Seed 
Co.,  Chicago,  J.  Allen  Bomm  and  W.  A. 
Gardiner,  salesmen,  and  A.  H.  Smith, 
treasurer,  have  returned  from  a  trip  to 
Columbus,  Wis.,  where  they  inspected  the 
company's  trial  grounds  and  looked 
ovQr  the  pea  crops  the  company  has  been 
groiri^^.and  harvestinig  in  that  section. 
After  spending  a  few  days  in  Chicago, 
looking  over  the  onibn  set  crops  and  the 
company's  warehouses,. -Mesiifs.  (Jardiner 
and  Bomm  returned  to  their  eastern  ter- 
ritory.

(BiUb.  1883) 


THEaiE  probably  never  has  been  a  year , 
when  so  many  acres  of  seed  crops  were 
pleated  if  or  th«  gwwers'  own  account, 
f  Seedsmen  have  increased  their  acreage  as 
(  nwch  as  possible  Ijecause  of  the  difficulty 
of  getting 'faAnerjf  to  take  feontracts  and 
more  farmers  than  ever  are  growing  for 
their  own  account,  believing  the  crop  will 
be  worth  at  least  as  much  when  harvested 
as  it  was  before  planting. 


NOOBDAM  HITS  MINE. 

A  bit  of  disquieting  news  is  contained 
in  the  report  that  the  Holland-Amer- 
ica line  steamer  Noordam  struck  a  mine 
August  3  while  bound  for  Holland,  and 
was  badly  damaged.  The  explosion 
caused  a  dangerous  list  and  the  officials 
of  the  line  declared  that  the  steamer 
might  have  to  be  run  aground,  thereby 
greatly  prolonging  the  time  required  for 
repairs. 

In  other  seasons  the  Noordam  has 
been  one  of  the  principal  carriers  of 
Dutch  bulbs  to  this  country,  and  it  is 
probable  the  boat  was  scheduled  to 
transport  horticultural  supplies  this 
season,  these  supplies,  according  to  a 
report,  to  come  by  three  boats.  In  view 
of  the  scarcity  of  bottoms,  therefore,  the 
enforced  idleness  of  the  Noordam  in 
dry-dock  may  be  felt  by  American  im- 
porters. 

This  is  the  second  time  the  Noordam 
has  struck  a  mine.  There  were  no 
casualties  among  the  507  on  board. 


THE   TAX   ON  PARCELS. 

The  Senate  revision  of  the  war  rev- 
<mue  law  contains  a  new  paragraph 
which  will  exempt  light  parcels  from 
the  penny  tax.  As  originally  drawn,  the 
bill  provided  for  a  tax  of  1  cent  on  each 
parcel  sent  by  mail  where  the  postage 
is  less  than  25  cents.  The  new  provision, 
if  adopted,  will  exempt  parcels  of  four 
ounces  or  less.  This  will  be  of  some 
advantage  to  the  seed  trade,  both  in 
the  matter  of  mailing  of  light  cata- 
logues and  small  packets  of  seeds. 

As  yet  one  can  only  guess  at  the  form 
in  which  the  tax  law  will  come  out.  It 
will  be  at  least  a  month  in  getting 
through  the  legislative  mill  and  many 
•changes  seem  imperative  if  confusion 
is  to  be  avoided.

ENFORCEMENT  OF  SEED  LIENS. 

In  North  Dakota  and  other  states 
which  have  laws  giving  seedsmen  liens 
against  crops  to  secure  payment  for  the 
seed  furnished  therefor,  it  is  important 
that  the  requirements  of  such  laws  be 
strictly  followed,  otherwise  the  lien  is 
apt  to  be  lost.  This  warning  is  sug- 
gested by  the  decision  recently  handed 
down  by  the  Supreme  Court  of  North 
Dakota,  in  a  case  where  a  lien  was  lost 
because  the  lien  statement  filed  of  rec- 
ord failed  to  contain  a  description  of 
the  land.  The  lien  law  of  that  state 
contains  this  section:  "Any  person  en- 
titled to  a  lien  under  this  chapter  shall 
within  thirty  days  after  the  seed  is 
furnished  file  in  the  office  of  the  regis- 
trar of  deeds  of  the  county  in  which  the 
seed  is  to  be  sown  or  planted  a  state- 
ment in  writing,  verified  by  oath,  show- 
ing the  kind  and  quantity  ol  seed,  its 
value,  the  name  of  the  person  to  whom 
furnished  and  a  description  of  the  land 
upon  which  the  same  is  to  be  or  has 
been  planted  or  sown.  Unless  the  per- 
son "entitled  to  the  lien  shall  file  such 
statement  within  the  time  aforesaid,  he 
shall  be  deemed  to  hare  waived  all 
right  thereto." 

In  this  case  the  lien  statement  failed 
to  show  any  description  of  the  land,  and 
was  held  by  the  court  to  be  insufficient 
to  sustain  a  lien.     On  the  back  of  the

statement  tliere  was  a  statement,  signed 
by  the  purchaser  of  the  seed  and  recit- 
ing that  it  would  be  sown  on  certain 
land  properly  described,  but  the  court 
said:  "This  is  a  mere  unsworn  state- 
ment by  the  purchaser  of  the  seed  grain, 
and  it  is  not  contended  that  it  is  any 
part  of  the  lien  statement  on  the  front 
portion  of  the  sheet,  and  we  are  clear 
that  it  cannot  be  resorted  to  for  the  pur-

furnishing  a  description  of  the  land. 
*  *  *  In  construing  the  seed  lien 
statute,  the  fact  must  not  be  overlooked 
that  the  lien  given  is  wholly  statutory

BURPEE'S  SWEET  PEAS 


Early 
Snowstorm 

A  Very 
Profuse 
Bearer. 


NEW  EARLY  OR  WINTER-FLOWERING  SPENCERS. 

Here  are  varieties  that  offer  you  a  big  profit.  Sowings  under  glass  in  August 
flower  ia  time  for  your  Thanksgiving  trade.  September  sowings  produce  the  finest 
of  flowers  by  Christmas.  Grown  in  the  open,  they  flower  several  weeks  ahead  of 
the  Standard  or  Summer-flowering  Spencers;  yet  they  bloom  quite  as  long  as  the 
Standard  Spencers. 

Having  a  survey  over  the  whole  trade,  we  foresaw  the  splendid  future  of 
early  winter-flowering  varieties  years  back.  Since  19C8  we  have  been  crossing  the 
Spencer-flowering  Sweet  Peas  with  the  Early  or  Winter-flowering  Grandiflora. 
The  magnificent  Australian  variety,  "Yarrawa,"  has  also  been  used  as  a  parent 
flower  in  our  recent  crosses,  with  results  truly  unique. 

The  varieties  below  are  all  true,  thoroughly  fixed  in  type,  and  because  of 
their  unusual  development  in  color,  both  as  to  beauty  and  distinctiveness,  they  will 
appeal  strongly  to  your  trade.         «     |t  ,.  ,,

THE    DUTCH    BULBS    MAY    COME. 

The  apparent  general  confidence  that 
the  Dutch  bulbs  will  be  shipped  may 
prove  misplaced,  as  the  international 
situation  is  changing  almost  every  Mreek. 
After  months  of  negotiation,  the  Dutch 
and  British  governments  reached  an  ac- 
commodation that  resulted  in  the  Hol- 
land, boats  coming  over  with  general 
merchandise,  but  it  develops  that  few 
of  them  have  been  able  to  secure  return 
cargoes,  and  that  some  sixty  Dutch 
steamers  now  lie  idle  in  American  har- 
bors. In  addition,  the  government  of 
the  United  States  recently  has  placed 
an  embargo  on  the  exportation  to  neu- 
tral countries  of  commodities  that  may 
in  any  way  serve  as  an  aid  to  Germany. 
It  is  said  that  since  this  embargo  went 
into  effect  sailings  to  Holland  practi- 
cally have  been  suspended. 

If  the  boats  that  bring  the  Holland 
bulbs  have  little  chance  of  securing  re- 
turn cargoes,  the  chances  that  the  bulbs 
will  come  are  visibly  reduced.

The  Market. 


Market  conditions  are  the  poorest  they 
have  been  this  year.  There  is  not  nearly 
enough  stock  to  supply  the  demands. 
Gladioli  are  the  most  plentiful  flowers, 
but  even  at  that  only  in  sufficient  supply 
for  funeral  demands.  A  few  good  as- 
ters are  in,  but  they,  too,  are  short  in 
supply.  Roses  are  too  high  in  price  for 
the  quality  offered.  Perennials  are  not 
so  plentiful  as  they  were  a  week  ago. 
Magnolia  and  cycas  leaves  are  being 
used  to  help  fill  the  deficiency  in  cut 
flowers.  Much  of  the  stock  received  in 
this  market  is  from  Colorado.

DETROIT. 

There  is  little  doing  in  the  florists' 
business.  Most  of  the  fraternity  either 
are  going  on  their  vacations,  or  have 
returned  with  brown  skins  and  tales  of 
how  many  fish  they  caught  and  of  how 
far  they  swam. 

One  of  the  best  times  the  local  florists 
have  had  recently  was  at  the  Detroit 
Florists'  Club  outing  at  Charles  Plumb's 
summer  home,  Pointe  Tremble,  July  31. 
It  was  a  day  devoted  to  fishing  and 
swimming,  which  were  followed  by  a 
dinner  at  the  hotel. 

F.  J.  Knecht,  of  Fort  Wayne,  was  a 
visitor  last  week.  He  ships  quantities 
of  stock  to  Michigan  florists. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Philip  Breitmeyer  have 
returned  from  Montana,  where  they 
spent  part  of  the  summer  with  their 
daughter,  Mrs.  Frank  Wright. 

The  stock  that  reached  the  market  last 
week  was  of  poor  quality,  with  the  ex- 
ception of  aslJers  and  gladioli.  B.os&a 
are  extremely  poor,  whfle  sweet  peas 
show  the  effects  of  the  hot  weather. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Harry  Breitmeyer  have 
returned  to  their  home  at  Pine  Lake.

MINNEAPOLIS. 


The  Market. 

Desj)ite  the  hot  weather  and  the  ab- 
sence of  rain,  the  market  was  well  sup- 
plied with  stock  last  week.  Baby's 
breath,  sweet  peas  and  jfladioli  are 
abundant,  and  last  week  saw  the  be- 
ginning of  the  aster  arrivals.  The  lat- 
ter had  good  stems  and  the  blooms 
were  of  fair  size.  Easter  lilies  still  are 
in  quantities.  Fine  American  Beauties 
are  reaching  the  market  and  local  grow- 
ers are  cutting  some  good  short-stemmed 
roses.  There  are  excellent  Boston  ferns 
to  be  had  and  there  is  a  ready  sale  for 
plants.  Business  has  been  quiet  with 
the  retailers,  funeral  work  creating 
about  all  the  demand. 

Various  Notes. 

Swanson's  had  an  attractive  summer 
window  last  week.  Palms  and  ferns 
surrounded  a  fountain,  in  the  l)asin  of 
which  were  goldfish.  Tlie  whole  was 
illuminated  by  electricity. 

The  Franklin  Nursery  lias  been  cut- 
ting some  fine  outdoor  stock. 

Ainiindson 's  had  a  sni)])ly  of  good  as- 
ters and  lilies  last  week.  Tlie  store  pre- 
sented an  attractive  a])pearance.  Busi- 
ness here  lias  been  good,  considering  the 
season. 

While  business  has  been  (juiet  at  the 
Whitted  Floral  Co.  store,  it  has  had 
some  good   funeral   orders   latelv.

The  Market. 

The  hot  weather  has  had  an  unfavor- 
able effect  on  business,,  there  bciuff  al- 
most no  (kMiiand  for  llowers  outside  of 
funeral  work. 

There  is  a  fine  su]>idy  of  lilies,  includ- 
ing rubruni  giganteuin  and  regale,  but 
the  demand  for  them  is  light.  Gladioli 
are  arriving  in  large  numbers  and  they 
are  of  extra  fine  quality.  The  ])riees 
obtainjpi  for  these  are  good.  Asters  are 
scarce,  especially  those  of  good  quality, 
many  of  them  showing  the  effects  of  the 
extremely  warm  weather.  Summer 
roses  are  fairly  good,  Russell,  Ophelia, 
Kaiserin,  Sunburst  and  Shawyer  show- 
ing up  best  under  the  trying  tempera- 
tures. 


Mention  The  Review  when  you  write. 

Carnations  are  at  the  end  of  their  sea- 
son at  last,  few  being  seen  on  the  mar- 
ket. There  are  a  few  good  dahlias,  and 
among  the  outdoor  flowers  are  zinnias, 
snapdragons,  sweet  peas,  phloxes  and 
gaillardias.  Feverfew,  cornflowers  and 
gypsophilas  are  also  seen  in  the  stores.

Aberdeen,  Wash.— Mrs.  H.  G.  Ellis, 
owner  of  the  Ellis  Greenhouses,  is  re- 
modeling and  enlarging  her  greenhouse 
establishment.  The  work  will  cost 
about  $3,000. 

Long  Beach,  Oal. — The  Belmont  Fern- 
ery and  the  Marine  Florist  have  con- 
solidated under  the  name  of  Long  Beach 
Floral  Co.,  3842  East  Tenth  street.  The 
signs  of  the  National  Florist  and  the 
F.  T.  D.  are  conspicuous  in  the  new  com- 
pany's ptore. 

SAUMON  AND  THE  SALMON. 

"Salmon"  is  neither  the  first  nor 
middle  name,  but  the  last  and  most  im- 
portant in  the  three  that  identify  H.  C. 
Salmon,  of  Eochester,  N.  Y.,  from  the 
rest  of  his  fellows,  but  when  it  comes 
to  extracting  salmon  from  the  Pacific 
ocean,  Mr.  Salmon  lives  up  to  his  name. 
While  at  Palo  Alto,  Cal.,  for  the  benefit 
of  his  health  recently,  Mr.  Salmon  ac- 
companied C.  H.  and  A.  F.  Bearsby, 
of  the  Frank  R.  Mills  nursery,  on  a  fish- 
ing trip  to  Capitola.  The  trio  made  a 
combined  catch  of  nineteen  fish,  the 
largest  of  whifth  weighed  twenty  pounds. 
For  verification  of  this  statement  see 
the  accompanying  illustration. 

LOS  ANGELES,  CAL. 


The  Market. 

The  feature  of  the  week's  business 
was  the  large  quantity  of  funeral  work 
done.  The  death  of  the  millionaire 
owner  of  the  principal  newspaper  re- 
sulted in  the  expenditure  of  several 
thousand  dollars  for  funeral  pieces,  and 
probably  never  in  the  history  of  the  Los 
Angeles  flower  business  was  there  so 
large  a  number  of  costly  designs 
and  other  work  for  an  individual  fu- 
neral. This  made  quite  a  clean-up  in 
the  wholesale  houses  and  the  work  was 
fairly  well  distributed  among  the  re- 
tailers. Dahlias  are  making  a  splendid 
showing  now  and  some  of  the  Giant  zin- 
nias are  a  great  attraction.  Rubrum 
and  auratum  lilies  are  arriving  in  fine 
condition  and  there  is  still  quite  a  good 
sprinkling  of  gladioli. 

The  indoor  roses  are  improving  a  lit- 
tle, but  the  stock  is  far  from  first-class 
even  now.  Carnations  from  indoors  are 
poor,  but  the  field  crop  is  improving 
right  along.  Asters  are  at  their  best 
and  centaureas  help  out  in  funeral 
designs.  Sweet  peas  of  the  Spencer 
types  meet  with  a  good  demand  when 
the  quality  is  right.  Greens  are  plenti- 
ful and  of  fairly  good  quality. 

Various  Notes. 

The  California  Cut  Flower  Co.  has 
purchased  the  N.  B.  Williams  place  at 
Cudahy,  where  for  several  years  Mr. 
Williams  has  been  growing  cut  flowers 


H.  C.  Salmon,  of  Rochester,  N.  Y.,  and  C.  H.  and  A.  F.  Bearsby,  of  Palo  AIto»  Cat. 


for  this  market.  The  increasing  value 
of  real  estate  in  this  section  should  in- 
sure a  profitable  deal,  to  say  nothing 
of  the  stock  that  can  be  grown  for  the 
company's   retail  trade. 

The  Roserie,  328  West  Third  street, 
has  been  opened  again  by  Flower  Gar- 
dens, Inc.,  with  Mrs.  Carter  in  charge 
of  the  retail  end,  A  choice  decoration 
of  dahlias  and  other  stock  was  shown  on 
the  opening  day,  making  a  bid  for  the 
transient  trade,  which  should  be  consid- 
erable. 

Howard  &  Smith  report  a  great  deal 
of  work  for  the  Otis  funeral,  as  well  as 
much  other  good  business. 

Wolfskins'  &  Morris  Goldenson  have 
a   cool-looking   window   made   of  rocks, 


plants  and  asters.  A  large  amount  of 
good  funeral  work  has  been  turned  out 
this  week. 

Tassano  Bros,  have  removed  from 
their  old  address  on  Los  Angeles  street 
to  a  new  store  at  422  Wall  street,  x)ppo- 
site  the   California  Flower  Market. 

A  beautiful  display  of  fancy-leaved 
caladiums  and  water  lilies  forms  the  at- 
traction at  Wright's  Flower  Shop  this 
week.     Funeral  work  has  been  heavy. 

Fred  Sperry,  of  the  L.  A.  Floral  Co., 
has  been  seeking  relief  from  his  cold 
in  the  mountains.  He  fears  that  an 
operation  for  an  abscess  near  the  eye 
may  be  necessary. 

S.  Murata  &  Co.  report  that  the  ship- 
ping trade  is  picking  up  again.

E.  D.  Sturtevant  was  the  lecturer  be- 
fore the  Los  Angeles  County  Horticul- 
tural Society  August  1.  His  subject 
was  water  lilies,  and  during  the  day  he 
made  an  exhibit  at  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce  rooms.  His  lecture  was  lis- 
tened to  with  great  interest,  especially 
that  part  referring  to  the  European  nov- 
elties and  those  from  the  Kew  gardens 
in   England.  H.   R.   Richards.

July  on  the  whole  was  a  good  month — 
comparatively.  Some  say  it  was  the 
best  midsummer  month  they  ever  had, 
and  others,  while  not  quite  so  sweeping 
in  their  remarks,  agree  that  it  was  an 
unusually  good  July.  The  large  number 
of  weddings  has  helped  out  considera- 
bly. Funeral  business  has  been  heavy. 
The  retailers  have  not  been  counting 
on  much  extra  business  from  army 
sources,  but  it  begins  to  look  now  as  if 
the  concentration  of  troops  in  this  vi- 
cinity might  help  to  stimulate  business. 

The  stock  situation  remains  about  the 
same,  with  the  exception  that  asters 
are  more  in  evidence.  They  are  coming 
in  nicely  now  and  quantities  of  them 
are  being  shipped  to  southern  and  mid- 
dle western  points.  Shipments  are  being 
made  to  the  east  also.  The  flowers  show 
good  quality,  the  colors  being  bright 
and  clear  and  the  stems  long.  All  indi- 
cations point  to  a  splendid  season. 
Good  carnations  are  hard  to  obtain  and 
the  limited  offerings  of  inferior  stock 
fail  to  get  much  attention.  Fine  assort- 
ments of  zinnias  are  arriving  and  clean 
up  without  difficulty.  Gladioli  move 
well.  Striking  displays  of  dahlias  ap- 
pear at  nearly  every  downtown  estab- 
lishment, and  hydrangeas  also  are  to  be 
soen  everywhere.  The  rose  market 
shows  little  change.  Ophelia  is  a  little 
l»etter,  but  Russell  and  the  other  va- 
lioties  still  show  the  effects  of  the  hot 
weather.  Large  orders  for  freesia  bulbs 
are  now  being  shipped.

The  only  commercial  colored  Freesia  in  the  world,  not  to  be  compared  or 
judged  iu  the  same  class  with  any  other  colored  Freesia.  It  stands  alone  for 
size,  strength,  beauty  and  fragrance.  The  flowers  are  very  large,  with  long, 
heavy  stems  with  foliage  reaching  well  up  the  stems,  and  are  highly  fragrant. 

It  is  a  Freesia  that  will  stand  the  test  of  time  and  will  be  grown  by  all 

florists  when  stock  can  be  offered  at  commercial  prices.    Was  awarded  a  Cer- 

tiflcate  of  Merit  at  the  Pasadena  Flower  Show. 

Stock  is  limited;  send  in  your  orders  as  soon  as  possible.  Is  offered  in  two  shades  of 
color,  a  bluish  lavender  and  a  reddish  lavender.  Only  good  si/.ed.  flowering  bulbs  are

bulbs.  One  order  this  week  called  for 
100,000  bulbs.  Mr.  Axell  thinks  there 
will  be  a  shortage  of  these  bulbs  before 
the  end  of  next  month. 

The  C.  Kooyman  Co.,  according  to  Mr. 
Madvig,  is  receiving  a  nice  lot  of  orders 
for  asters,  principally  from  southern 
and  middle  western  points. 

Mrs.  R.  E.  Darbee  has  been  unable  to 
find  anyone  to  look  after  her  store  and 
shipping  business  while  away,  so  she  has 
had  to  give  up  her  plan  of  attending 
the  S.  A.  F.  convention.  She  has  de- 
cided to  postpone  her  trip  until  Decem- 
ber or  January,  so  as  to  experience  some 
of  the  eastern  cold  weather  for  the  first 
time.  She  is  starting  to  ship  asters  in 
quantity,  as  well  as  statice.  The  latter 
is  well  receive  .in  the.  east,  she  says.

little  spotted,  but  the  total  volume,  she 
says,  is  well  up  to  standard. 

D.  Traversaro,  formerly  with  Pelicano, 
Rossi  &  Co.,  and  more  recently  manager 
.  of  Hyde 's  store  at  Watsonville,  Cal.,  has 
enlisted  in  the  navy. 

Charles  P.  Shellgrain,  manager  of  the 
Boland  store,  says  July  was  a  good 
month,  especially  in  funeral  work,  A 
new  location  has  not  yet  been  decided 
upon  by  this  concern. 

Miss  Recardie  Lee  Muarreijr  lays  busi- 
ness has  picked  up  uieely editing  the 
last  two  weeks,  last  Sunday  being  the 
best  Sunday  in  a  long  time. 

J.  Scanlon,  with  Albert  O.  Stein,  has 
returned  from  a  month's  vacation  at 
Los  Angeles.  Mr.  Stein  has  no  com- 
plaints to  make  about  business. 

Frank  Claverie  says  business  on  Polk 
street  is  holding  up  well  this  summer. 

Charles  Stoppenbeck,  the  American 
Florist,  on  Polk  street,  who  confines  his 
attention  to  store  trade  entirely,  reports 
a  good  demand  for  roses,  although  his 
blooms  are  at  their  lowest  ebb  just  how. 
"He  expects  to  have  a  fine  crop  a  little 
later. 

The  California  Floral  Co.  is  well  satis- 
fied with  summer  business.  Potted  glox- 
inias are  having  a  nice  sale  here. 

The  Woodside  Nurseries  Co.  has  been 
granted  permission  to  sell  100  shares  of 
stock  at  par.  The  company  proposes  to 
utilize  the  proceeds  of  the  sale  in  the 
development  of  the  business.    S.  H.  G.

The  Market. 

Business,  though  not  rushing,  cannot 
be  called  dull.  There  are  quiet  spells 
between  sales,  but  the  sales  are  not  half 
bad,  thanks  to  good  funeral  work  and 
some  wedding  orders. 

The  variety  of  the  cut  flowers  offered 
has  been  limited.  Sweet  peas,  said  to 
lead  the  field,  are  of  excellent  quality 
and  the  supply  is  adequate.  Growers  are 
drying  off  the  stock,  so  roses  are  off 
crop  for  the  present.  In  gypsophilas, 
paniculata  is  taking  the  place  of  grandi- 
flora.  Carnations  are  poor  and  receive 
little  attention,  but  gladioli  are  good 
property,  making  $1  per  dozen  at  retail. 

Various  Notes. 
A  general  street  car  tie-up  last  week 
threatened  traffic  until  the  "jitney" 
came  to  the  rescue  and  made  a  joke  of 
the  strike.  Everything  went  off  good- 
naturedly,  the  people  seeming  to  sym- 
pathize with  the  strikers.  Labor  troubles 
are  stirring  things  up  considerably  in 
nearly  all  industries.     Greenhouse  help

Gardnerville.  It  proved  to  be  an  en- 
joyable affair.  The  weather  was  fine 
and  a  large  and  jolly  crowd  of  florists 
turned  out  in  their  autos  to  celebrate 
their  annual  feast.  Dancing  was  in- 
dulged in  up  to  a  late  hour.  A  feature 
of  the  luncheon  was  a  large  sack  of 
clams  especially  prepared  by  Mr,  Ben- 
thien  for  his  guests.  All  voted  that  Mr. 
Benthien  is  the  man  who  put  the  "lam" 
in  clam.  A  10-gallon  can  of  ice  cream 
helped  to  cool  off  the  crowd  during  the 
frolic.  John  Holze,  of  the  Queen  City 
Floral  Co.,  of  Seattle,  who  usually 
rounds  up  a  large  Seattle  delegation  and 
brings  it  to  Tacoma,  was  sick,  and  this 
kept  a  number  of  Seattle  florists  from 
coming  over.  The  regular  meeting  of

this  week.

The  Market. 

Funeral  work  and  social  events 
caused  a  good  demand  for  stock  last 
week.  Asters  and  gladioli  are  more 
plentiful.  There  were  few  roses.  July 
business  was  better  than  during  the 
same  month  last  year,  although  there 
was  a  lull  in  the  middle  of  the  month. 

Various  Notes. 

A.  J.  Clarke  and  Mrs.  Clarke  are  mak- 
ing a  three  weeks'  trip  through  Califor- 
nia. 

The  Nippon  Floral  Co.  is  bringing  in 
some  fine  gladioli   and  lilies. 

At  the  Tonseth  Floral  Co.  range  it 
is  announced  that  there  will  be  yellow 
chrysanthemums  ready  for  the  market 
in  a  week.  The  range  is  planted  mostly 
to  chrysanthemums  and  carnations. 

Duke  Eoutledge  has  a  new  Saxon

The  opening  of  the  United  States  Na- 
tional bank  was  the  occasion  of  many 
beautiful  floral  baskets  being  made  by 
local  florists. 

F.  A.  Van  Kirk  and  Mrs.  Van  Kirk 
are  visting  at  Newport,  Ore. 

The  old  Swiss  Floral  Co.  range  on 
Vancouver  avenue  is  being  moved  to 
Killingsworth  and  Fatten  avenues  by 
A.    Pedersen,    the    manager. 

Mr.  Koch,  of  the  People's  Floral  Shop, 
says  business  has  been  good  all  season, 
but  is  slowing  up  now.  The  range  is 
planted  with  chrysanthemums,  carna- 
tions and  cyclamens.  W.  G.  W. 

TUBEROSES    FAIL   TO    BLOOM. 

I  have  some  tuberoses  that  do  not 
seem  to  bloom.  Can  you  tell  me  what 
is  the  matter  with  them?  Do  they 
bloom  the  second  year?     A.  D. — S.  D. 


Possibly  the  tuberoses  will  still  throw 
spikes.  They  are  not  of  great  value  a 
second  season.  Without  knowing  any- 
thing of  your  culture,  time  planted,  etc., 
it  is  impossible  to  say  what  is  the 
trouble.  C.  W.

EVERGREENS  FOR  LAWN. 

Will     you     please     recommend     some 
small   varieties   of   evergreens   to  plant 
as  specimens   in   a  lawn,   and   will   you 
state  the  proper  time  to  start  them? 
J.  O.  S.— N.  Y. 

In  tlie  way  of  small-growing  ever- 
greens for  lawns,  Juniperus  Sabina,  J. 
communis  hibernica,  Picea  excelsa  pyg- 
msca,  or  dwarf  spruce;  Pinus  Mughus, 
or  dwarf  mountain  pine,  and  Taxus 
cuspidata  brevifolia  arc  good.  All  the 
retinisporas  are  excellent  and  hardy. 
Particularly  good  are  E.  plumosa,  plu- 
mosa  aurea,  pisifera  and  filifera.  For 
a  large  lawn  the  following  make  splen- 
did specimen  trees  if  given  proper  room 
for  development  and  showing  their  in- 
dividuality: Picea  Douglasii;  Picea

of  August  and  early  in  September  the

PENNSYLVANIA  LICENSES. 

Pennsylvania  now  has  a  nursery  in- 
spection law,  one  of  the  provisions  of 
which  is  that  all  persons,  including  nurs- 
ery stock  dealers  and  agents,  soliciting 
for  the  sale  of  nursery  stock  in  the 
state,  must  secure  and  carry  with  them 
a  state  license.  Penalties  for  noncom- 
pliance with  the  law  are  provided  and 
willful  misrepresentation  of  stock  of- 
fered for  sale  is  made  a  misdemeanor. 

The  law  is  aimed  at  irresponsij?Ie 
nursery  stock  agents  who  have  worked 
in  the  state  during  the  last  several  years. 
They,  it  is  declared,  made  many  fraudu- 
lent sales  by  various  schemes. 

There  also  has  been  passed  in  Penn- 
sylvania a  law  providing  standards  of 
purity  for  insecticides  and  fungicides. 
Excessive  or  fraudulent  claims  as  to  the 
value  of  these  materials  will  be  curbed, 
and  labels  must  bear  a  true  statement 
of  what  the  package  contains. 


PROHIBITING  IMPORTS. 

The  inconsistency  of  the  demand  by 
certain  entomologists  for  the  complete 
prohibition  of  plant  imports  is  well  il- 
lustrated in  the  annual  reports  of  F.  L. 
Washburn,  in  charge  of  nursery  inspec- 
tion in  Minnesota.  In  his  report  for 
1916  he  says: 

Importation   of   foreign   stock   la   a    menace   to 
our  domestic  plants  and  trees  because  of  the  dis-

eases  and  Insects  which  may  find  their  way 
into  the  country  In  spite  of  a  thorough  Inspec- 
tion of  the  stock,  and  we  believe  It  would  be 
highly  advisable  for  the  United  States  to  discon- 
tinue all  importations  of  foreign  stock  to  this 
country  with  the  exception  of  such  stock  as  is 
brought  in  by  the  United  States  Department  of 
Agriculture  for  experimental  purposes.  When 
we  look  at  the  vast  amount  of  damage  done  in 


ttie  Pfi^£BivBl>t  property  loss  at  the  present 
t$me  MwiliP  m^  ^we  Imported  pests,  as  in  the 
case  of  the  cliestnut  blight,  the  citrus  canker, 
the  brown-tail  moth  and  the  white  pine  blister 
rust,  we  feel  that  a  quarantine  against  all  Euro-

FIELD-GROWN  CARNATION  PLANTS 

We  have  had  unusually  favorable  weather  conditions  for  the  growing  of  Carnation 
Plants  thus  far  this  season,  and  with  continued  good  weather,  they  will  be  ready  for 
benching  somewhat  earlier  than  previous  years,  and  of  very  much  better  quality. 

It  is  generally  conceded  by  Carnation  experts  that  the  best  results  are  obtained  by

pean  stock  has  been  found  to  be  so 
clean  that  his  department  inspects  it 
only  perfunctorily.  This  is  what  he 
then  said: 

We  find  that  stock  coming  from  Holland  Is, 
almost  without  exception,  free  from  Insect  pests 
and  beautifully  packed.  This  Is  also  true  of 
azaleas  shipped  from  Belgium.  These  latter 
plants  reach  us  in  such  fine  shape  and  so  free 
from  insect  pests  that  we  have  adopted  the  plan 
of  allowing  tlie  importer  to  unpack  shipments, 
keeping  them  together,  and  preserving  all  tags, 
records,  and  numbers  on  boxes  (burning  pack- 
ing), pending  the  arrival  of  tlie  inspector.  This 
saves  us  additional  trips  to  a  distant  locality 
to  examine  small  consignments  arriving  later 
than  the  main  part  of  the  shipment. 

It  is  amazing  that  a  man  of  standing, 
after  giving  the  Holland  and  Belgium 
stock  a  clean  bill  of  health,  should  with- 
in a  year  recommend  its  exclusion  from 
the  country. 


LINCOLN,   ILL. 


The  employees  of  the  Gullett  &  Sons 
wholesale  cut  flower  department  and 
wholesale  pot  plant  department  enjoyed 
their  annual  picnic  Thursday,  August  2. 
The  trip  to  the  grounds  on  Salt  creek, 
near  Baker's  fish  trap,  was  made  in 
hayracks,  automobile  trucks  and  other 
conveyances.  A  fine  time  was  had  in 
bathing,  swimming,  fishing  and  general 
outdoor  sports.  Seventy-five  employees 
were  in  attendance.  It  was  an  all-day 
affair,  an  all-around  success. 

The  committee  in  general  charge  of 
the  arrangements  consisted  of  three  men 
from  the  wholesale  cut  flower  depart- 
ment, Chris  Lcithauser,  Roy  Conklin 
and  Walter  Sieloff,  and  two  men  from 
the  wholesale  plant  department,  Lons- 
dale Copeland  and  Albert  Sieloff.  The 
ample  provisions  and  the  program  of 
sports  attested  to  the  efficiency  of  the 
committee.

Adiantum  Farleyense  Gloriosum 
The  Glory  Fern 

(Ruhm  von  Mordrecht) 
This  splendid  Fern,  which  so  closely  resembles  Adiantum  Far- 
leyense in  appearance  and  which  does  not  require  the  special  skill 
and  care  in  growing  that  is  necessary  to  produce  good  plants  of  A. 
Farleyense,  has  quickly  made  a  place  for  itself  not  only  on  account 
of  the  fact  that  it  can  be  produced  for  little  over  half  that  of  grow- 
ing Farleyense.  but  also  because  either  in  a  cut  state  or  as  plants 
used  in  decorative  work,  it  will  outlast  the  old  variety  ten  to  one, 
making  it  an  available  subject  where  Farleyense  cannot  be  used  at 
all.  Since  its  introduction  some  five  or  six  years  ago  there  has 
never  been  a  supply  large  enough  to  meet  the  demand. 
We  have  this  season  prepared  an  extra  large  stock  and  we  offer 

214-inch  pots $1.50  per  doz.;  $10.00  per  100

Pteris  Childsi 

This  beautiful  variety  is  to  Pteris  what  Farleyense  is  to  Adian- 
tums.  and  like  that  variety  produces  no  spore,  so  that  propagation 
is  by  the  rather  slow  method  of  division,  which  will  keep  it  a  rare 
variety.  The  plant  is  of  strong  growth,  attaining  a  height  of  about 
20  inches;  fronds  large,  pinnsr  deeply  dentated  and  undulated;  tips 
crested.    Makes  a  beautiful  specimen  for  exhibition 

Fine  plants,  5  inch  pots,  76c  each.

MILWAUKEE. 


The  Market. 

A  spell  of  extremely  hot  weather  has 
left  the  trade  in  a  rather  wilted  condi- 
tion. What  little  stock  there  is  in  the 
market  is  in  about  the  same  condition 
and  the  business  done  is  next  to  nothing. 
The  demand  seems  to  be  strong  for  this 
time  of  year,  but  the  supply  is  so  limited 
that  there  is  nothing  left  to  sell  after 
the  standing  orders  have  been  taken 
care  of. 

Carnations  are  scarce  and  only  of 
medium  quality.  The  throwing  out 
process  is  nearing  completion,  but  the 
new  plants  are  smaller  than  usual  and 
are  not  coming  along  so  fast  as  hereto- 
fore. Asters  are  not  arriving  in  any 
quantity  as  yet,  so  it  is  impossible  to  use 
these  as  a  substitute  for  carnations. 

Roses  are  arriving  in  small  quantities 
and  the  quality  is  not  so  good  as  it 
might  be.  This  stock  is  moving  with 
no  effort  and  a  much  larger  quantity 
could  be  handled  to  advantage  were  it 
available.  Lilies  have  shortened  con- 
siderably and  the  demand  easily  takes 
care  of  the  receipts  each  day.  Valley 
remains  scarce  and  is  cleaned  up  early 
each  day. 

There  is  a  fair  quantity  of  gladioli 
being  handled  each  day,  but  this  is .  a 
small  item  and  does  not  help  tifie  short- 
age, which  is  really  acute  ^usfr\n!B.\^  de- 
spite the  fact  that  business  is^  light. 

Various  Notes. 

John  J.  Stuppy,  of  the  Stuppy  Floral 
Co.,  St.  Joseph,  Mo.,  was  a  visitor 
July  31. 

M.  E.  Horacek,  with  the  Hiawatha 
Gardens  Co.,  Minneapolis,  Minn.,  and 
G.  A.  Lien,  of  Washburn,  Wis.,  were 
also  visitors  last  week. 

From  present  reports,  it  seems  that 
C.  C.  PoUworth  is  the  only  local  man 
who  contemplates  attending  the  con- 
vention. H.  J.  S.

GreenhoBse  Heating. 

SuBSCBiBEBS  are  invited  to  write  the 
Editor  of  this  Department  with  regard  to 
any  details  of  greenhouse  heating  that 
are  not  understood.  But  please  do  not 
ask  The  Eeview  to  make  a  choice  of  ap- 
paratus for  you.  The  greenhouse  heating 
equipment  advertised  in  this  paper  is,  we 
believe,  the  best  for  the  trade  to  buy, 
and  each  article  the  best  in  the  special 
field  of  its  adaptation. 

MAY    CURB    COAL   PRICES. 

Drastic  action  by  the  state  to  curb 
high  prices  of  coal  was  recommended  to 
the  Illinois  State  Council  of  Defense  by 
the  council  committee  which  last  week 
met  with  representatives  of  the  coal 
mine  operators  of  Illinois. 

The  report  said:  "There  is  no  ex- 
cuse for  the  present  high  prices  of  coal 
in  Illinois.^'  Whether  the  action  would 
be  a  request  for  a  special  session  of  the 
legislature  to  give  greater  powers  to  the 
council  or  an  order  fixing  a  maximum 
price  was  not  announced.  The  report 
called  attention  to  the  fact  that  coal 
which  was  selling  last  year  for  $1.25  a 
ton  is  now  being  quoted  at  $2.75  a  ton. 
Wages  have  gone  up  only  20  cents  a  ton. 
"This  increase,"  the  report  declares, 
"cannot  account  for  a  jump  of  $1,50 
a  ton  in  the  price  of  coal  at  the  mines 
between  July,  1916,  and  July,  1917. 
Federal  action  has  been  and  may  be  so 
long  delayed  as  to  be  totally  ineffective. 
If  no  other  way  remains,  the  control  of 
prices  in  Illinois  alone  will  be  urged  and 
enforced  if  necessary." 


WILL  CHANGE  THE  BOILER. 

I  have  a  greenliouse  16x61,  five  and 
one-half  feet  high  to  the  eaves  and 
eleven  feet  high  to  the  ridge.  The  house 
runs  north  and  south.  The  north  end 
is  boarded  up  and  lined  with  tarred 
roofing;  the  space  between  the  inner 
and  outer  boarding  is  filled  with  saw- 
dust. The  west  wall  contains  one  foot 
of  glass;  the  east  wall  contains  two 
and  one-half  feet  of  glass.  The  south 
end  has  a  2M>-foot  sash  across  it.  The 
rest  of  the  house  is  finished  like  the 
north  end. 

Please  tell  me  what  size  of  Wilks 
boiler  will  be  needed  to  heat  this  house 
to  60  degrees  when  the  outside  tempera- 
ture is,  say,  20  degrees  below  zero. 
Will  a  boiler  34x48  be  too  large?  I  am 
trying  to  get  a  used  boiler  and  am 
wondering  whether  a  boiler  larger  than 
is  required  would  be  unsatisfactory. 
Will  you  tell  me  how  to  install  it?  I 
have  a  quantity  of  IVt-inch  pipe  and 
some  of  the  li/4-inch  size.  At  present 
I  am  using  a  boiler  of  another  make  and

our  expects tions.  It  beats  up  especially 
quick  and  has  saved  us  conHiderably  al-

A  FAMOUS  ILLINOIS  KOSE  BANGE. 
In  speaking  of  tbe  Kroescbell  Boiler  as 
an  economical  greenbouse  boiler  I  cannot 
say  too  mucb.  Personally  I  have  had  the 
pleasure  or  misfortune  to  fire  nearly  every 
make  of  greenhouss  boiler  on  the  market  and 
I  can  safely  say  tbe  Kroescbell  is  the 
best  of  them  all.

We  spent  $100,000  In  building  and 
equipping  tbe  largest  modem  mushroom 
plant  in  tbe  world.  We  purcbased  In 
every  instance  tbe  best  of  everything  we 
could  get,  and  tbe  fact  that  we  installed 
a  KroescheU  Boiler  to  furnish  onr  heat  is 
sufficient  evidence  of  our  opinion  of  same. 

Since  instslUng  this  l>oiier  and  operat- 
ing it  we  bave  never  had  any  reason  to 
cbange   onr  opinion.

L.  H.  C— 111. 

Not  over  500  square  feet  of  radiation 
should  be  needed  for  heating  a  green- 
house of  the  dimensions  stated,  to  60 
/  degrees,  and  a  boiler  rated  at  a  capacity 
of  650  to  700  square  feet  should  be 
ample.  We  do  not  recall  the  capacity 
of  the  different  sizes  of  Wilks  boilers, 
but  one  with  a  grate  34x48  inches  is 
certainly  three  or  four  times  as  large 
as  is  needed.  In  case  additions  of  con- 
siderable size  are  soon  to  be  made,  the 
boiler  described  might  be  installed  and 
used  with  a  fair  degree  of  economy  if 
about  one-half  of  the  grate  bars  are 
disconnected  and  the  size  of  the  grate 
is  reduced  by  means  of  fire  brick. 

We  would  locate  the  boiler  so  that  it 
will  be  below  the  level  of  the  returns 
and  we  would  then  run  two  2% -inch 
flow  pipes  either  on  the  plates  or  just 
under  the  purlins,  preferably  the  lat- 
ter. For  returns  we  would  use  thirteen 
1%-inch  pipes,  placing  seven  on  the 
south  wall  and  six  on  the  north  wall.

The  Florists^  Review 


AOGOST  9,  1917. 


In  case  there  is  a  raised  bench  in  the 
center  of  the  house,  we  would  use  three 
2-inch  flows,  placing  the  third  flow 
under  the  ridge.  With  three  flows,  only 
twelve  returns  will  be  needed,  in  three 
coils  of  four  pipes  each,  on  the  walls 
and  under  the  middle  bench. 


IS    PEESENT    PIPING   ADEQUATE? 

I  have  a  range  of  greenhouses  100 
feet  in  length,  with  a  total  width  of 
seventy  feet.  There  are  two  main  feed 
pipes,  each  5-inch,  from  an  SO-horse- 
power  boiler,  and  there  are  also  two 
5-inch  returns  to  the  boiler.  Connected 
to  the  main  header  pipe  are  ten  2% -inch 
flows,  feeding  about  forty  2-inch  returns. 
Are  there  enough  feed  pipes  from  the 
boiler  and  enough  main  returns?  Would 
it  save  much  fuel  to  have  more  openings 
made  in  the  boiler  for  flows  and  returns! 
The  gralje  of  the  boiler  is  3x4  feet.  The 
boiler  tubes  are  3-inch  and  are  ten  feet 
long,  A.  R.  S. — Mont. 

The  data  furnished  do  not  cover  the 
temperature  desired  in  the  houses,  the 
amount  of  glass  in  the  roofs  and  sides, 
or  the  number  of  tubes  in  the  boiler,  but 
a  25-horsepower  boiler  would  undoubt- 
edly heat  the  houses. 

If  a  temperature  of  60  degrees  will 
answer,  we  would  consider  that  the 
forty  2-inch  returns,  in  addition  to  the 
main  flow  pipes,  would  suffice.  With 
houses  about  fifteen  feet  in  width  and 
100  feet  in  length,  we  would  prefer  to 
run  a  2^ -inch  flow  on  each  plate,  but 
good  results  should  be  secured  with  the 
arrangement  described,  provided  the 
return  pipes  are  well  above  the  top  of 
the  boiler. 


North  Warren,  Pa. — Victor  Offerlee  is 
erecting  a  greenhouse  establishment 
next  to  Hygia  Hall.  The  location  is 
excellent  and  as  Mr.  Oflferlee  will  have  a 
modern  place,  its  success  is  assured.

The  Florists' Review 


August  9  1917. 


ROCHESTER,  N.  Y. 


The  Market. 

There  was  more  activity  in  the  market 
last  week,  despite  the  weather,  which 
has  been  intensely  hot.  Sweet  peas 
were  burned  considerably,  but  some 
growers  have  been  cutting  good  quality 
stock,  which  sells  fairly  well.  The 
gladiolus  season  is  opening.  Splendid 
quality  America  and  Mrs.  Francis  King 
have  reached  tlie  market  and  clear  at 
$3  per  liundred.  Marty  other  smaller 
varieties  also  are  seen. 

Double  gypsophilas  are  favorites  with 
buyers  and  are  being  grown  more  ex- 
tensively this  season.  White  asters  of 
good  quality  have  arrived  and  sell  for 
$2  per  hundred.  There  is  little  demand 
for  the  poorer  grades.  A  few  dahlias 
have  arrived.  Candytuft  and  achillea 
are  abundant.  Quantities  of  coreopsis, 
zinnias,  lupines,  bachelor's  buttons, 
gaillardias  and  sweet  alyssums  are  in 
the  market,  but  meet  little  demand. 
Eoses  are  plentiful.  Eussell  is  the  best, 
but  is  showing  the  effects  of  the  heat. 
Carnations  are  of  poor  quality.  Easter 
lilies  are  plentiful.  Ferns  are  coming 
in  good  supply  from  local  sources.  Spe- 
ciosum  lilies  sell  slowly.  All  kinds  of 
greens  are  in  the  market  in  a  supply 
greater  than  the  demand. 

Various  Notes. 

Charles  E.  Sharp  was  in  Dansville 
August  1  attending  the  annual  outing 
of  the  Sea  Breeze  fire  department,  of 
which  he  is  a  member. 

Felix  Alberts,  of  Buffalo,  was  in  the 
city  August  2, 

Edwin  C.  Armbrust  was  in  Buffalo 
August  ].  He  has  since  left  for  New 
Britain,  Conn.,  for  a  ten  days'  vacation 
with  relatives. 

George  B.  Hart  and  family  are  spend- 
ing the  summer  at  Lakeside.  Mr.  Hart 
makes  daily  trips  to  the  city  by  auto- 
mobile. 

George  Case,  of  James  Vick's  Sons, 
is  away  on  a  two  weeks'  vacation. 

Horace  J.  Head  was  one  of  the  par- 
ticipants in  a  Red  Cross  benefit  concert 
at  Hilton,  X.  Y.,  July  29. 

George  T.  Boucher  returned  August  2 
from  an  automobile  trip  to  Chicago,  HI. 
He  was  gone  three  weeks.  Aside  from 
being  arrested  in  Benton  Harbor,  Mich., 
for  speeding,  the  trip  was  most  enjoy- 
able, Mr.  Boucher  savs. 

Mary  Smith,  of  George  T.  Hart's 
force,  is  away  on  a  vacation. 

Florists  were  busy  August  3  with 
orders  for  the  funeral  of  a  prominent 
business  man  who  was  killed  in  an  auto- 
mobile accident.  August  4  also  was  a 
busy  day,  the  demand  for  flowers  being 
larger  tlian  the  supply. 

The  James  Tick's  Sons  force  is  busy 
on  the  seed  farm  now.  The  clear 
weather  of  the  last  two  weeks  has  en- 
abled the  men  to  plant  the  asters,  of 
which  there  are  13.j  acres.  It  is  not  ex- 
pected that  asters  and  hardy  stock  will 
give  a  full  crop  because  of  the  wet 
weather  earlier  in  the  season. 

The  Eoohester  Exposition  and  Flower

INDIANAPOLIS,  IND. 


The  Market. 

The  demand  continues  active  for  this 
time  of  the  year.  The  market  is  well 
supplied  with  stock,  but  the  flowers 
clear  well.  Funeral  work  has  been  ex- 
tensive this  week  and  has  been  the  most 
important  factor  in  utilizing  the  large 
supply  of  lilies.  The  old  crop  of  carna- 
tions "is  completely  gone.  Summer  roses 
are  becoming  poorer  and  receive  but 
little  attention.  They  sell  at  from  $1.50 
to  $5  per  hundred. 

Gladioli  continue  plentiful,  but  the 
supply  is  consumed  daily.  They  are  of 
good  quality  and  move  at  $3  and  $4  per 
hundred.  Asters  are  fairly  plentiful 
but  still  of  poor  quality,  the  price  rang- 
ing from  $1.50  to  $3. 

Various  Notes. 

"VVm.  Smith,  from  Iowa,  formerly  with 
the  A.  Wiegand's  Sons  Co.,  is  visit- 
ing in  the  city. 

The  Bertermann  Bros.  Co.  has  in- 
stalled a  new  jmeumatic  water  pres- 
sure system  at  its  Cumberland  range. 

Asters  are  poor  in  this  section;  those 
of  Hartje  &  Elder  and  John  Grande, 
Sr.,  were  among  the  best. 

The  committee  on  wind  storm  insur- 
ance has  been  holding  a  number  of 
meetings.  Herman  Young  has  been  es- 
pecially busy  and  announces  that  the 
committee  soon  will  be  ready  to  send 
out  literature  on  this  new  project. 

Allen  Humason,  of  Chicago,  visited 
the  trade  last  week. 

John  Grande,  Jr.,  was  in  the  list  of 
those  conscripted. 

Baur  &  Steinkamp  have  completed 
benching  their  carnations. 

Edward  Eeinken  is  no  longer  with  the 
Indianapolis  Flower  &  Plant  Co. 

Henry  Eisner  has  gone  to  Louisville, 
to  stay  indefinitely.  Bertha  Eisner  has 
gone  on  a  two  weeks'  vacation. 

Mr.  Bookedis  has  purchased  a  new 
7-passenger  touring  car. 

Mrs.  A.  P.  Eeynolds  has  had  a  nervous 
breakdown  and  at  present  is  in  the  hos- 
pital awaiting  an  operation.     E.  E.  T. 


PROVIDENCE,  R.  I. 

Charles  Smith  and  his  son,  Joseph,  re- 
turned last  week  from  a  three  weeks' 
stay  in  the  Berkshires.  Mr.  Smith  is 
much  improved  in  health. 

William  Doel,  son  of  William  Doel, 
of  Pascoag>  has  been  at  Block  Island  on 
a  few  days '  recreation. 

Alonzo  Vosc  is  preparing  to  erect  two 
more  greenhouses  at  his  range  in  Woon- 
socket. 

Timothy  O'Connor  and  family  are  en- 
joying their  leisure  time  this  summer  at 
Narragansett  Pier. 

George  C.  Kelley  is  making  a  number 
of  alterations  at  his  greenhouses. 

Albert  Holscher  has  already  got  a 
long  start  on  his  early  chrysanthemums 
at  his  houses  on  Hartford  avenue. 

John  A.  Macrae  has  more  than  an 
acre  of  unusually  fine  looking  carnation 
plants,  which  he  is  commencing  to 
bench. 

William  Crompton  had  a  funeral  com- 
mission last  week  by  which  he  furnished 
more  than  a  dozen  designs. 

Samuel  Resnick,  with  Joseph  E.  Kop- 
pelman  &  Co.,  has  been  enjoying  a  few 
days'  sojourn  at  Block  Island. 

Fred  Dietz,  of  French  street,  has  been 
on  an  automobile  trip  to  New  York  and 
Philadelphia,  combining  business  and 
pleasure.  W.  H.  M.

KNOXVILLIANS  TAKE  DAY  OFF. 

The  Knoxville,  Tenn.,  Florists'  So- 
ciety held  its  fourth'  annual  picnic 
August  3,  at  a  fish  trap  on  the  llolston 
river,  near  Mascot,  Tenn.  Heretofore 
the  picnics  have  been  held  at  quite  a 
distance  from  Knoxville  and  consider- 
able time  has  been  taken  up  in  going 
to  and  from  the  place.  This  time  it  was 
decided  to  have  it  as  near  as  possible,  so 
Mascot  island,  a  distance  of  about  fif- 
teen miles  from  Knoxville,  was  selected 
as  the  place.  The  trip  was  made  in 
automobiles  to  the  river,  where  row- 
boats  were  used  to  cross  to  the  island. 

The  forenoon  was  spent  in  rambling 
about  the  grounds  and  exchanging  notes 
in  the  shade  of  the  beautiful  trees.  At 
noon  a  bountiful  dinner  was  served,  and 
it  seemed  that  everyone  had  a  good  ap- 
petite. Dinner  over,  many  made  for  the 
river;  some  fished,  some  took  target 
practice,  while  others  just  sat  around  in 
the  shade  and  watched  the  various 
amusements.  Late  in  the  afternoon  the 
entire  crowd  enjoyed  a  watermelon  feast 
and  soon  after  departed  for  home.  The 
day  was  ideal  for  a  picnic  and  the  place 
was  one  of  the  most  appropriate  for  the 
occasion  in  eastern  Tennessee.

NEWARK,   N.    J. 


Business  was  quiet  with  the  retailers 
last  week,  but  the  growers  were  busy. 
Most  of  them  have  their  chrysan- 
themums benched.  Carnations  iii  the 
field  are  doing  well. 

The  annual  outing  of  the  Essex 
County  Florists'  Club  was  held  August 
1,  at  Gillette,  N.  J.  There  were  about 
125  persons  present,  among  them  being 
several  from  New  York  city.  There 
was  a  program  of  athletic  events  and  a 
picnic  supper.  The  crowd  was  taken 
from  Lincoln  park,  Newark,  to  the 
grounds  by  automobiles. 

McLaughlin  &  Murphy  were  unusual- 
ly busy  with  funeral  work  during  the 
last  ten  days. 

Charles  Luthy  has  been  doing  a  good 
business  at  his  new  branch  store  on 
West  Elizabeth  street. 

J.  E.  &  A.  G.  Hutchinson,  227  Broad 
street,  Elizabeth,  have  closed  their  store 
during  the  month  of  August.  This  is 
the  firm's  annual  custom.        E.  B.  M. 


Ashtabula,  O. — Silvieus  &  Silvieus, 
Eoy  L.  and  Virginia  C,  are  planning  to 
open  a  retail  store  this  autumn  in  a 
town  of  20,000  inhabitants  which  al- 
ready has  two  flower  stores.

FollowiinJT  Is  wh.it  KrctSfhmar  Bros., 
of  West  Myack,  New  York,  say  of  tlio 
System  : 

"  It  has  always  been  a  great  exiwnse 
to  prepare  our  land  for  tlic  carna- 
tion stock  before  planting,  as  each 
(lay  we  would  only  plough  enouKrh 
for  the  day's  planllner  so  that  we 
could  work  In  moist  soil.  Tills  also 
would  be  all  hand  raked  to  sret  It  In 
the  best  con<lltloii.  We  can  now 
plough  the  whole  stiip  and  harrow 
with  a  spiked  tooth  harrow  and  use 
the  Skinner  Systt-ni  after  each  day's 
planting  to  water  them  down."

NEW    SOLANUM    BURBKA. 

The  greatest  novelty  in  berried  plants  for 
Christmas.  This  solanum,  unlike  the  old  variety, 
bears  its  berries  on  the  top  of  the  plant,  which 
gives  it  the  appearance  of  a  solid  mass  of  larxe 
red   cherries. 

The  habit  of  the  plant  is  dwarf  and  bnstay; 
the  fruit  is  perfectly  round,  the  color  a  brilliant 
red  and  larger  than  an  ordinary  cherry. 

A  4-lnch  plant  will  carry  from  150  to  200  ber- 
ries.

Don't  stop  for  anything. 
Keep  pushing  everyday. 

Make  today  bigger  than  yester- 
day and  tomorrow  bigger  than 
today. 


And  don't  depend  en- 
tirely on  YOURSELF. 

If  your  work  is  on  the  eighteenth 
floor  of  an  office  building,  DONT 
WALK  UP  THE  STAIRS- 
USE  THE  ELEVATOR.  If  you 
want  to  ask  a  question  of  someone 
on  the  other  side  of  the  city,  DON'T 
SPEND  HALF  A  DAY  GOING  TO 
SEE  HIM— USE  THE  TELEPHONE. 
Take  advantage  of  the  modern  forces  ALL 
AROUND  YOU.  Take  advantage  of  the 
wonderful  opportunities  that  other  brains 
and  organizations  have  provided  to  SAVE 
YOUR  TIME  AND  SAVE  LABOR  AND 
HELP  YOU  MAKE  MONEY. 


Take  advantage  of  the 

power  of  "Review"  Classified 
Ads.  They  have  built  large  and 
permanent  business  for  many — 
for  thousands  of  florists  they  have 
saved  dumping  a  surplus;  turned  a 
loss  into  a  quick  profit. 

They  will  do  as  much 

for  you — but  it  is  up  to  you  to 
act.  It  is  up  to  you  to  offer 
nothing  but  good  stock,  worth 
the  money,  and  to  get  your  ad  to

Six  Splendid  Australian  Varieties 

CONCORD  Spencer  types 

The  Concord  Varieties  of  Winter-flowering 
Spencer  Sweet  Peas  are  perhaps  the  most 
advanced  and  finest  of  all.  The  colors  are 
distinct,  clear  and  true.  They  flower  earlier 
than  any  other  type,  and  the  blossoms  are 
of  large  Spencer  form,  with  long  stems. 
Unfortunately  they  are  shy  seeders  and, 
therefore,  the  seed  is  scarce  and  expensive 
We  are  obliged  to  offer  in  packets  only 
this  year.  

Prices,  any  of  the  following: 

Pkt.  (50  seeds),  40c;  5  pkts.,  $1.75. 
Concord  Pink,  beautiful  delicate  pink. 
Concord  Crimson,  fine  ruby  red. 
Concord  Lavender,  light  lavender  blue. 
Concord  White,  large,  pure  white. 
Concord  Salmon,  soft  salmon  pink. 
Concord  Blue,  dark  purple  blue. 


We  have  on  hand  fresh  seed  off  Giant  Flowered  Cyclamen  in  all  popular  colors, 
also  Primula,  Cineraria,  Calceolaria;  Perennial  Flower  Seeds  for  summer  sow- 
ing and  Annuals  for  winter  flowering  under  glass.

The  quality  is  exceptionally  good  this  season  and  the  ad- 
vantages of  buying  direct  from  a  large  grower  where  the  ! 
flowers  are  cut,  graded  and  kept  chilled  until  the  customer 
receives  them,  together  with  prices  no  higher  than  others

not  quite  as  old  a  volume  as  the  Psalms  of  David  or  the 
Proverbs  of  Solomon  or  the  Book  of  Job,  but  far  more  prac-

We  are  on  the  outskirts  of  a  great  revival.  Never  was  there 
so  bountiful  a  harvest.  There  will  be  food  for  man  and  beast. 
We  hail  our  splendid  staff  of  growers  with  high  hopes,  and  we  have 
room  for  more  of  them.  There  is  no  variety  of  flowers  we  do  not 
handle.  We  ship  to  the  leading  out-of-town  florists,  and  we  sell  to 
the  cream  of  the  local  trade.  If  you  are  not  yet  on  our  books,  it  is 
your  misfortune.  "Every  morning  at  6"  is  our  watchword.  It

"TAKE  THE  ELEVATOR 

AND  SAVE  ONE-HALF" 

The  application  of  a  general  merchandising  idea  to  the  management  of  a 
flower  store  conducted  with  unusually  low  overhead  expense.  How  a  Chicago 
retail  florist,  operating  one  store  in  which  the  service  is  of  the  most  costly  char- 
acter also  has  built  up  a  successful  separate  business  on  the  low  prices  basis. 


PSTAIES  store  methods  as 
the  means  of  selling  flow- 
ers have  been  adopted  by 
a  Chicago  florist  and,  at 
the  close  of  a  year's  busi- 
ness, the  innovation  is  a 
success,  declare  the  men 
back  of  the  enterprise. 
Under  the  name  of  the 
Ohio  Floral  Co.,  a  store 
was  opened  on  the  second  floor  of  the 
Ohio  building,  at  the  corner  of  Wabash 
avenue  and  Congress  street,  ii>  Jtfay, 
1916,  an  advertising  campaign  was 
launched  and  preparations  were  made 
to  expend  considerable  money,  if  neces- 
sary, to  discover  whether  or  not  a 
second-floor  store  in  the  business  sec- 
tion, selling  designs,  cut  flowers  and 
plants  at  low  prices,  would  be  a  money- 
maker. 

"Take  the  elevator  and  save  one- 
half"  has  been  the  slogan  of  the  com- 
pany's advertising,  both  in  daily  news- 
papers and  on  the  windows  of  the  store. 
While  this  was  not  original — many 
clothing  and  other  classes  of  merchan- 
dising concerns  have  made  the  phrase 
familiar — it  was  unique  in  the  retail 
branch  of  the  florists'  trade.  Wreaths 
at  $2  and  sprays  at 
$1.50  were  the  leaders 
announced  in  practi- 
cally all  of  the  adver- 
tising. Aside  from  a 
small  card  on  the  glass 
door  at  the  entrance  to 
the  building,  there  was 
no  opportunity  for  the 
pedestrian  to  know 
that  there  was  a  flower 
store   in    the   building. 

A.  Good  Location. 

The  location  has  an 
unusual  advantage, 
however,  in  that  its 
windows,  of  which 
there  are  many,  are  but 
a  few  feet  away  from 
the  elevated  platform, 
from  which  thousands 
of  persons  daily  take 
and  leave  trains  to 
and  from  their  homes. 
The  proximity  of  the 
elevated  structure  also 
creates  a  disadvantage, 
as  it  partially  shuts  off 
the  pedestrians'  view 
of  the  windows  from 
the  streets. 

Upon  the  windows 
are  painted  in  large, 
bright  red  and  white 
letters  the  name  of  the 


company,  its  business  slogan,  "Take 
the  elevator  and  save  one-half," 
"Wreaths  $2,  sprays  $1.50,"  "Your 
money's  worth  or  your  money  back," 
all  of  which  savor  of  the  department 
store.  The  large  expanse  of  window 
space  on  both  Wabash  avenue  and  Con- 
gress street  permits  a  striking  display. 

To  attract  business  to  a  store  so  situ- 
ated persistent  advertising  was  neces- 
sary. The  first  announcements  of  the 
opening  of  the  store  brought  business  in 
such  meager  volume  that  the  first 
week's  receipts  did  not  come  near  pay- 
ing clerk  hire.  The  second  week  was 
better;  at  the  end  of  the  year  the  store 
is  paying  expenses. 

Appeals  to  the  Thrifty. 

This  store  and  its  method  of  attract- 
ing customers  have  demonstrated  that 
flowers  are,  in  truth,  a  necessity  at  one 
time  or  another  to  all  the  people.  Its 
sales  are  made  almost  exclusively  to 
persons  who,  by  reading  the  advertis- 
ing time  and  again,  have  the  store  name 
and  location  impressed  upon  their  minds 
and  who  remember,  when  flowers  are 
needed,   that    it    is    the    best    place    to 


Applyiog  the  Upstairs  Store  Idea  to  the  Retailing  of  Flowers. 


supply    their    needs    for    less    money. 

Consequently,  weddings,  funerals, 
celebrations  of  any  kind  that  usually 
call  for  flowers  or  designs  in  the  homes 
of  those  who  wish  to  buy  as  cheaply  as 
possible  mean  business  for  the  Ohio 
Floral  Co.  The  purchases  are  made 
when  flowers  are  considered  a  necessity, 
and  not  usually  for  the  gratification  of 
a  love  of  flowers. 

Cut  flowers  and  designs  are  the  prin- 
cipal stock  sold  at  this  store.  Elaborate 
bouquets  and  baskets  make  no  appeal 
to  the  thrifty  persons  who  trade  there. 
Potted  plants  also  sell  well  and  there 
have  been  several  calls  for  bedding 
plants  and  in  one  or  two  instances  home 
owners  have  sought  shrubs  and  trees. 

Low  prices  for  stock  are  made  pos- 
sible by  the  smaller  rent  a  second  floor 
location  commands  in  comparison  with 
the  street  level  store  in  the  same  neigh- 
borhood; less  expert  help  is  needed,  as 
there  is  little  out-of-the-ordinary  work 
to  be  made  up;  buyers  are  less  exacting 
as  to  the  attention  they  receive  and 
sales  are  made  rapidly;  supplies  cost 
less,  as  in  most  cases  the  purchases 
merely  are  wrapped  in  paper  and  taken 
away  by  the  buyers,  thus  eliminating 
delivery  cost,  and  there 
is  no  loss  from  bad  ac- 
counts, all  sales  being 
for  cash. 


Sells  Good  Stock. 

It  might  bo  supposed 
that  a  store  doing  such 
a  business  would  be  an 
outlet  for  poor  stock 
only.  Such  is  not  the 
case,  it  is  declared. 
The  best  stock  that 
can  be  sold  at  the 
jirices  asked  and  leave 
ii  small  margin  over 
the  wholesale  cost  is 
the  policy  of  the  store. 
I'atrons  of  the  estab- 
lishment are  given  the 
advantage  of  the  de- 
creased cost  of  doing 
business,  which  is  fig- 
ured to  be  only  two- 
thirds  what  it  is  in  a 
street  level  store  of  the 
same  general  charac- 
ter. 

Making  a  success  of 
this  venture  required 
patience,  that  quality 
which  is  best  described 
as  gameness  in  the  face 
of  continued  money 
loss,  and,  last,  but  most 
important,   a   consider-

"TAKE  THE  ELEVATOR 

AND  SAVE  ONE-HALF" 

The  application  of  a  general  merchandising  idea  to  the  tuandgcincnt  of  a 
floner  store  conducted  ivilh  unusually  low  overhead  cx/it'iisc.  How  a  Chicago 
retail  florist,  operating  one  store  in  which  the  service  is  ol  the  most  costly  char- 
acter also  has  built  up  a  successful  separate  business  on  the  Ion    prices  basis.

ers liavc  been  adopted  by 
a  Cliieaso  florist  aiul,  at 
tlie  close  of  a  year's  l)usi- 
iiess,  the  innovation  is  a 
^^n\  SMceess,  declare  tiie  men 
C  J  qI)  back  of  the  enterprise. 
— 'I  I'lider  the  name  of  the 
Oliio  Floral  <'o.,  a  store 
was  openeil  on  the  second  floor  of  the 
Ohio  buildinii;-,  at  the  corner  of  Wabash 
avenue  and  Conj^ress  street,  in  May, 
191(5,  an  advertisint>'  caiu|iaii,ni  was 
launched  and  ])reparations  were  made 
to  expend  considerable  money,  if  neces- 
sary, to  discover  Avhether  or  not  a 
second-floor  store  in  the  business  sec- 
tion, sellinjT  (lesij^ns,  cut  flowers  and 
plants  at  low  jn'ices,  would  lie  a  money- 
maker. 

"Take  the  elevator  and  save  one- 
half"  has  been  the  slofjan  of  the  com- 
pany's advertising,  both  in  daily  news- 
papers and  on  the  windows  of  the  store. 
While  this  was  not  original — many 
clothing  and  other  classes  of  merchan- 
dising concerns  have  made  the  jdirase 
familiar — it  was  unique  in  the  retail 
brancdi  of  the  florists'  trade.  Wreaths 
at  $-  and  sprays  at 
$1.50  were  tho  leaders 
announced  in  ])racti- 
cally  all  of  the  adver- 
tising. Aside  from  a 
small  card  on  tho  glass 
door  at  the  entrance  to 
the  building,  there  was 
no  opportunity  for  the 
pedestrian  to  know 
that  there  was  a  flower 
store    in    the    building. 

A   Good   Location. 

The  location  has  an 
u  n  u  s  u  a  1  advantage, 
however,  in  that  its 
windows,  of  w  h  i  c  h 
there  are  many,  are  but 
a  few  feet  away  from 
the  elevated  platform, 
from  which  thousands 
of  persons  daily  take 
and  leave  trains  to 
and  from  their  homes. 
The  firoximity  of  the 
elevated  structure  also 
creates  a  disadvantage, 
as  it  ]>artially  shuts  off 
the  pedestrians'  view 
of  tlie  windows  from 
the  streets. 

Upon  tlie  windows 
are  painted  in  large, 
bright  red  and  white 
letters  the  name  of  tho 


company,  its  business  slogan,  "Take 
the  elevator  an<l  save  oneliall','' 
"Wreaths  $l2,  sprays  $l.r)()."  "Your 
money's  worth  or  your  money  back," 
all  of  which  savor  of  the  department 
store.  The  large  expanse  of  window 
space  on  both  Wabash  avenue  and  Con- 
gress street  permits  a  striking  display. 

To  attract  business  to  a  store  so  situ- 
ated jiersistent  advertising  was  neces- 
sary. The  first  announcements  of  the 
opening  of  the  store  l)r(iught  liusiness  in 
such  nieagcr  volume  that  the  first 
wi'(dv 's  receipts  did  not  come  near  pay- 
ing clerk  hire.  The  second  week  was 
better;  at  the  end  of  the  year  the  store 
is  jia^'ing  expenses. 

Appeals  to  the  Thrifty. 

This  store  and  its  method  of  attract- 
ing customers  have  demonstrated  that 
flowers  are,  in  truth,  a  necessity  at  one 
time  or  another  to  all  the  people.  Its 
sales  are  made  almost  ex(dusively  to 
persons  who,  by  reading  the  advertis- 
ing time  and  again,  have  the  store  name 
and  location  imjiressed  upon  their  minds 
and  who  remember,  when  flowers  are 
neeiled,    that    it    is    the    l»est    [dace    to

a  love  of  flowers.

The  Florists'  Review

able  capital  of  either  cash  or  credit. 
Such  an  undertaking  means  only  failure 
for  the  man  who  has  insufficient  capital 
and  who  has  not  the  ability  to  stick 
when  his  weekly  reports  show  that  his 
bank  account  is  growing  smaller,  even 
though  his  sales  are  growing  larger. 

The  Ohio  Floral  Co.  is  owned  princi- 
pally by  Oscar  J.  Friedman,  who  for 
many  years  has  had  a  high-class  store 
near-by  in  the  Congress  hotel.  The 
direction  of  the  upstairs  store  is  in  the 
hands  of  Victor  Bergman, '  who  also  is 
in  charge  of  the  Friedman  quality  store. 
Consequently  the  same  brains  decide  the 
policies  and  do  the  buying  for  two  ex- 
tremely dissimilar  retail  flower  stores. 
In  the  one  only  the  highest  class  trade 
is  handled,  in  the  other  the  opposite 
class. 

Future  for  This  Class  of  Store. 

Mr.  Bergman  believes  that  there  is  a 
great  future  for  the  retail  florists'  busi- 
ness in  stores  that  will  cater  to  such 
a  trade  as  does  the  Ohio  Floral  Co. 
Constant  increases  in  the  business  done 
at  the  second  floor  store  give  him  con- 
fidence in  his  belief  that  there  are  many 
persons  who  buy  flowers  occasionally 
and  who  will  travel  to  a  certain  place 
when  there  is  a  chance  to  save  money. 
And  it  does  not  particularly  matter 
where  that  place  is,  be  it  upstairs  or 
down. 

But,  he  warns  florists,  such  a  store 
requires  what  has  already  been  detailed, 
money  and  courage.  The  man  who  has 
a  few  hundreds  or  a  few  thousands  of 
dollars  will  fail,  because  he  will  be 
unable  to  continue  the  sales-creating 
stimulant  without  which  such  a  store 
would  do  almost  no  business — advertis- 
ing, consistent  and  persistent. 

Advertising.  That  is  the  keynote  of 
such  success  as  the  Ohio  Floral  Co. 
store  has  attained.  Advertising  has 
made  possible  an  innovation  in  the  re- 
tail end  of  the  florists '  trade.  No  elabo- 
rate fixtures  are  needed.  There  is  no 
considerable  investment  in  stock  and 
the  many  accessories  to  be  found  in  the 
average  modern  retail  store.  There  is 
no  highly  paid  help.  Business  is  cre- 
ated by  advertising,  but  newspaper 
space  in  a  large  city  is  expensive  and 
success  lies  only  in  the  ability  to  "keep 
everlastingly  at  it." 


The  trade  in  Philadelphia  is  understood 
to  be  principally  interested. 


BUSINESS  EMBABBASSMENTS. 

Charleston,  S.  C. — Paul  M.  MacMil- 
lan,  attorney  for  the  Eodgers  Floral 
Co.,  which  was  thrown  into  bankruptcy 
by  its  creditors  recently,  has  sent  a  let- 
ter to  those  having  claims  against  the 
company  offering  settlement  on  the  ba- 
sis of  50  cents  on  the  dollar.  The  letter 
states  that  if  the  company's  affairs  are 
liquidated  by  the  court  the  creditors 
will  receive  practically  nothing,  but 
that  Francis  S.  Eodgers,  Jr.,  has  made 
arrangements  to  pay  the  amount  stated. 
The  company  is  a  copartnership  be- 
tween Francis  S.  Eodgers,  Jr.,  and  Har- 
old E.  Eodgers,  the  latter  a  minor.  An 
inventory  of  the  company's  property 
placed  the  assets  at  $13,500,  while  the 
liabilities  are  $17,000.  The  assets,  how- 
ever, consist  of  stock  in  trade,  boxes, 
open  accounts  and  $2,300  due  from  the 
minor  partner.  It  is  claimed  that  Har- 
old E.  Eodgers,  being  a  minor,  can  re- 
pudiate his  obligation  to  the  company 
and  that  a  forced  sale  will  cut  the  value 
of  the  other  assets  materially.  The  let- 
ter asserts  that  all  creditors  must  ac- 
cept the  offer,  or  the  court  will  be^  al- 
lowed  to   go    on   with   the   liquidation.

Association,  at  Montreal,  August  9,  the 
following  officers  were  elected: 

President — E.  J.  Hayward,  of  Mon- 
treal, Quebec. 

First  vice-president — George  Douglas, 
of  Toronto,  Ont. 

Second  vice-president — E.  B.  Hamil- 
ton, of  London,  Ont. 

Secretary-treasurer — H.  J.  Eddy,  of 
Montreal,  Quebec. 

New  members  of  the  executive  com- 
mittee, to  serve  for  three  years — Luke 
Williams,  Ottawa,  Ont.;  C.  M.  Baldwin, 


Toronto,  Ont.;  William  Cotter,  Mon- 
treal, Quebec. 

This  represents  a  complete  change  in 
the  management  of  the  society,  none 
being  a  reelection  except  that  of  Mr. 
Williams,  who  was  returned  to  his  place 
on  the  executive  committee.  Mr.  Hay- 
ward  was  first  vice-president  last  year 
and  chairman  of  the  local  entertainment 
committee,  of  which  Mr.  Eddy  was  sec- 
retary; Mr.  Eddy  succeeds  Julius  Luck, 
who  has  been  secretary-treasurer  for 
many  years. 

It  was  voted  to  hold  the  next  meeting 
August,  1918,  at  Ottawa,  Ont. 

Will  Make  War  Becord. 

In  view  of  the  fact  that  many  mem- 
bers of  the  association  are  or  have  been 
serving  overseas,  it  was  suggested  by  0. 
M.  Baldwin,  of  Toronto,  that  some  means 
be  taken  to  record  and  honor  the  names 
of  these  men.  This  has  not  been  done 
up  to  the  present.  The  suggestion  re- 
ceived the  hearty  approval  of  the  asso- 
ciation. 

President  James  Eraser,  of  Prescott, 
who  drove  to  Montreal  for  the  meeting, 
has  attended  eighteen  of  the  twenty 
.conventions  the  association  has  held. 

Bad  Weather  for  Excursions. 

The  convention  was  conceded  to  be 
perhaps  the  best  the  association  ever 
has  held,  in  spite  of  the  many  reasons 
to  expect  the  contrary.  The  weather 
was  delightful  on  the  opening  day,  but 
the  two  trips  of  inspection  were  marred 
by  inclement  weather  the  second  and 
third  days.  The  first  trip  was,  as  the 
guests  of  the  city,  for  a  drive  through 
the  parks  and  a  visit  to  the  greenhouses 
of  McKenna,  Ltd.,  Frank  McKenna 
later  reading  a  paper  on  the  problems 
he  has  encountered  in  running  the  re- 
tailing end  of  the  place.  After  the 
convention  adjourned  the  visitors  were 
the  guests  of  the  Montreal  Gardeners' 
and  Florists*  Club  on  a  trip  to  St.  Anne 
de  Bellevue,  to  visit  Macdonald  College 
and  to  view  several  of  the  private  gar- 
dens at  Senneville. 


A  SEJiF-WATEBTNTO  BENCH. 

Eoy  White,  of  the  Lamar  Greenhouse 
Co.,  Lamar,  Colo.,  has  received  a  patent 
on  a  self -watering  greenhouse  bench.  It 
embodies  the  same  principle  as  the  Lit- 
tle Wonder  plant  irrigator.  The  bench, 
is  made  of  galvanized  iron  in  any  size 
and  is  about  three  inches  deep.  There 
is  a  perforated  top  which  allows  tubes 
with  sponges  to  be  placed  at  any  dis- 
tance apart. 

Mr.  White  says  the  bench  is  only  for 
potted  plants.  He  has  one  of  the  benches 
in  use  at  the  Lamar  range  and  says  that 
it  is  a  great  labor  saver.  The  bench  is 
connected  to  the  water  supply  and  auto- 
matically fills  itself,  thereby  eliminating 
the  labor  of  watering.  Mr.  White  says 
the  plants  do  fifty  per  cent  better  in 
the  bench,  as  there  is  always  the  right 
amount  of  water.  Several  of  the 
benches  will  be  installed  in  the  Lamar 
greenhouses  this  fall. 


Tama,  la. — The  Sheldon  Gardens  Co. 
has  let  a  contract  to  the  Foley  Green- 
house Mfg.  Co.,  of  Chicago,  for  a  green- 
house, 33x250  feet,  to  cost  about  $8,- 
500.  The  Sheldon  Gardens  Co.  was  re- 
cently incorporated  with  a  capital  stock 
of  $15,000,  most  of  which  was  pur- 
chased by  Tama  business  men.  George 
Sheldon  is  the  moving  spirit  in  the  en- 
terprise.

FLORISTS    ANSWER    CALL    OF    MARS 


^<«Wtl^Atlfr\-»lfA'fl»;^ffl^W^^^ 


THE  TRADE'S  PART. 


Purely  Personal. 

Flowers  are  not  classed  among  mu- 
nitions, but  florists  make  good  soldiers 
and  the  trade  will  be  represented  in 
almost  every  department  in  the  field, 
judging  by  the  items  of  personal  news 
that  have  come  to  hand  this  week.  No 
doubt  there  are  a  great  many  more  mem- 
bers of  the  trade  who  already  have 
taken  up  arms  and  The  Eeview  will  be 
pleased  to  hear  of  them. 

Correspondent  Called  to  Colors. 

Called  into  the  service  of  the  United 
States  with  the  national  guard,  Adolph 
Ehmann,  correspondent  for  The  Eeview 
at  Buffalo,  is  quartered  at  the  Sixty- 
fifth  Eegiment  armory  awaiting  orders. 
Mr.  Ehmann,  who  is  well  known  to  the 
trade  in  western  New  York,  is  a  mem- 
ber of  Battery  D,  Third  New  York  Field 
Artillery. 

Building  Wooden  SUps. 

Sherman  W.  Walker,  president  of  the 
Portland  Florists'  dub  and  correspond- 
ent for  The  Eeview  at  Portland,  Ore., 
has  entered  the  service  of  the  United 
States  as  inspector  of  hulls  for  the  Ship- 
ping Board.  The  florists'  trade  has 
been  recruited  from  practically  all  de- 
partments of  human  activity  and  be- 
fore engaging  in  the  greenhouse  busi- 
ness, in  which  he  was  thoroughly  suc- 
cessful, Mr.  Walker  was  engaged  in 
shipbuilding,  so  he  has  returned  to  a 
field  in  which  he  has  special  knowledge. 
It  will  be  his  duty  to  watch  the  work 
of  building  on  the  Pacific  coast  a  part 
of  the  government 's  new  fleet  of  a  thou- 
sand wooden  ships  to  break  the  U-boat 
blockade.  Mr.  Walker's  greenhouse 
business  is  being  continued  in  his  ab- 
sence and  he  intends  to  return  to  it 
when  his  task  is  finished. 

Becomes  Ambulance  Driver. 

The  call  of  France,  his  native  land, 
has  been  answered  by  Edward  Dupuy, 
son  of  Louis  Dupuy,  nurseryman  at 
Whitestone,  L.  I.  Young  Dupuy  has 
joined  the  American  Ambulance  corps 
as  a  motor  car  driver  and  now  is  in 
France.  His  father  is  one  of  the  several 
French  nurserymen  who  have  come  to 
this  country  and  established  themselves. 

Quits  Flowers  for  War. 

Harold  William  Crockford,  florist,  of 
Winthrop,  Mass.,  had  not  been  estab- 
lished in  business  many  years  when  the 
United  States  entered  the  war.  Never- 
theless, Mr.  Crockford  had  built  up  a 
good  business  and  was  making  money. 
But  recently  he  decided  that  he  is 
needed  to  help  fight  the  battles  of  his 
country,  so  he  closed  his  store  and  en- 
listed in  the  Eighth  Massachusetts  regi- 
ment. 

Chief  Nurseryman  in  Reserve. 

Lloyd  C.  Stark,  president  of  the 
American  Association  of  Nurserymen, 
who  last  week  was  reported  as  having 
resigned  his  office  in  the  Stark  Bros. 
Nurseries  &  Orchards  Co.,  of  Louisiana, 


O.  W.  Efclond. 

Mo.,  to  tender  his  services  to  the  gov- 
ernment, is  in  Washington,  making  his 
lieadquarters  at  the  Army  and  Navy 
Club.  He  has  joined  the  officers'  reserve 
and  is  expecting  to  be  commissioned  in 
the  new  army.  At  Louisiana  it  is  said 
he  is  to  be  placed  as  a  captain  of  artil- 
lery. Mr.  Stark  was  educated  at  An- 
napolis, for  the  navy. 

To  Fight  for  Adopted  Land. 

O.  W.  Eklund,  foreman  at  the  green- 
house range  of  the  Sterling  Floral  Co., 
Sterling,  111.,  was  among  those  drafted 
June  5,  has  passed  the  physical  exam- 
ination and  been  enrolled  in  the  United 
States  army.  He  did  not  claim  exemp- 
tion. 

Mr.  Eklund  was  born  in  Kristianstad, 
Sweden,  twenty-nine  years  ago.  Before 
going  to  Sterling  he  was  gardener  at 
Minneapolis  for  Thomas  Shevlin,  the 
famous  athlete  and  millionaire  lumber- 
man, who  died  two  years  ago.  Of  Mr. 
Eklund  the  Sterling  Floral  Co.  says: 
"He  has  left  ample  testimony  of  his 
energy  and  skill,  and  it  is  with  regret 
that  this  company  cedes  this  valuable 
employee  to  Uncle  Sam." 

Haeger  a  Lieutenant. 

In  the  great  officers'  training  camp  at 
Fort  Sheridan,  111.,  these  last  three 
months  the  trade  has  been  represented 
by  Frederick  W.  Haeger,  of  the  A.  L. 
Eandall  Co.,  Chicago.  When  the  train- 
ing camp  closed  August  13  it  was  an- 
nounced that  Mr.  Haeger  had  been  com- 
missioned a  second  lieutenant  of  in- 
fantry in  the  officers'  reserve  corps.  It 
is  supposed  that  his  first  duty  will  be  to 
assist  in  the  training  of  the  new  army 
at  one  of  the  cantonments  now  in  course 
of  construction. 

Will  Join  Officers'  Camp. 

Frank  L.  Sanders  and  Eoland  E. 
Hammer,  both  well  known  among  St. 
Louis  florists,  will  join  the  second  offi- 
cers '  training  camp  to  be  held  at  Fort 
Sheridan,  111.  Mr.  Sanders  is  manager 
of  the  flower  department  of  the  Grand 
Leader,   a   St.   Louis   department   store. 


Mr.  Hammer  is  a  son-in-law  of  Fred  C. 
Weber.  Both  are  ambitious  to  becqme 
officers  in  Uncle  Sam's  army  to  be  sent 
to  Europe,  and  will  work  hard  for  com- 
missions during  the  three  months  of  in- 
tensive training. 

Florist  Gets  Commission. 

Maurice  Bebb,  the  elder  son  of  Eob- 
ert  Bebb  and  his  chief  assistant  in  the 
management  of  the  affairs  of  the  Mus- 
kogee Carnation  Co.,  Muskogee,  Ala., 
has  just  received  his  commission  in  the 
new  army,  after  having  spent  three 
months  in  the  officers'  training  camp  at 
Little  Eock,  Ark. 

Killed  in  France. 

Howard  Ford  and  William  Hudson, 
employees  at  the  GuUett  &  Sons  estab- 
lishment, Lincoln,  111.,  could  not  wait 
until  the  United  States  got  into  the 
war  to  go  to  Europe  and  join  in  the 
fighting.  So  they  enlisted  with  the  al- 
lied forces.  Word  has  been  received 
that  Mr.  Ford  was  among  those  killed 
at  Vimy  Eidge,  in  France.  Mr.  Hudson 
was  wounded  four  times,  but  has  recov- 
ered and  returned  to  the  trenches. 

Joins  Aviation  Corps. 

Edwin  Bebb,  a  graduate  of  Professor 
Dorner  's  department  at  the  University 
of  Illinois,  and  subsequently  an  em- 
ployee of  Mount  Greenwood  cemetery, 
Morgan  Park,  HI.,  has  been  at  the  of- 
ficers' training  camp  at  Fort  Sheridan 
since  May,  but  recently  has  joined  the 
Aviation  corps  and  will  fly  an  aeroplane 
in  France. 


CYCLAMENS  LOSING  FOLIAGE. 

What  is  the  cause  of  cyclamen  plants 
losing  their  leaves?  Some  of  the  plants 
die.  Others  eventually  have  a  new 
growth  of  foliage,  but  even  these  are 
not  so  well  leaved  as  they  ought  to  be. 
Any  information  you  can  give  us  will 
be  appreciated.  E.  F.  C. — Ore. 

Possibly  the  soil  is  not  altogether  suit- 
able or  the  drainage  is  defective.  An- 
other possible  cause  of  loss  of  foliage  is 
too  deep  potting.  The  corms  should  not 
be  covered.  For  a  compost,  cyclamens 
like  a  loam  containing  a  good  proportion 
of  leaf -mold,  not  too  much  rotted;  also 
some  sand  and  some  old  cow  manure, 
well  dried  and  broken  up.  I  find  it  more 
necessary  to  use  an  abundance  of  leaf- 
mold  and  sand  if  the  loam  is  naturally 
heavy.  Keep  your  plants  in  a  house  or 
frames  where  thoy  can  be  protoctod  from 
the  sun  with  lath  shades.  This  manner 
of  shading  keeps  tliom  cooler  than  shad- 
ing on  the  glass  and  allows  them  to  get 
all  available  light  in  dark,  cloudy 
weather.  q  y^ 


West  Haven,  Conn.— Thomas  Patti- 
son  says  that  unless  something  unfore- 
seen happens  to  change  his  plans,  he 
has  decided  to  close  down  for  the  win- 
ter, as  soon  as  the  late  chrysanthemums 
are  gone.  This  can  be  done  without 
much  inconvenience  bv  those  who  de- 
pend upon  plants  for  the  bulk  of  their 
business.

SOLVING  SOME 

OF  THE  PROBLEMS 


I T  would  need  a  book  to  deal 
with  all  the  troubles  of  the 
retailer.  In  common  with 
the  rest  of  the  world,  we  flo- 
rists believe  the  work  in 
which  we  are  engaged  to  be 
the  most  exacting  and  the 
most  laborious  in  the  world.  It  comes 
often  as  a  surprise  to  us  that 
others  think  we  are  most  fortu- 
nate fellows  to  dwell  amid  flow- 
ers, and  to  enjoy  their  beauty,  color- 
ing and  fragrance  while  at  the  same 
time  making  a  living.  While  we  do  love 
all  these,  we  think  sometimes  that  the 
customer  does  not  begin  to  appreciate 
the  problems  and  difliculties  which  pre- 
vent our  living  the  "lives  of  flowery 
ease ' '  many  of  them  evidently  think  we 
lead.  They  do  not  think  of  the  wide 
areas  from  which  these  flowers  must  be 
gathered;  the  changing  seasons  with 
their  different  requirements;  the  exact- 
ing public  which  wants  the  flowers  it 
wants  when  it  wants  them;  the  diffi- 
culty of  inculcating  some  conception  of 
finance  as  well  as  of  the  rules  of  art 
into  one's  employees;  the  fragility  and 
delicacy  of  our  wares,  which  increase  all 
the  difficulties  of  purchase,  transport 
and  delivery;  the  losses  from  careless 
packing  and  handling;  the  excessive  cus- 
toms duties  on  flowers  from  the  United 
States;  the  inadequate  supply  obtain- 
able at  the  Christmas  season;  the  eternal 
vigilance  required  to  avoid  monotony 
or  sameness  in  the  store  arrangements; 
the  kickers  who  demand  immediate  serv- 
ice and  special  attention;  the  efforts 
to  get  competent  help;  the  enormous 
expenses,  with  the  constant  fear  that 
these  might  eat  up  the  profits;  the  sad 
experience^  with  giving  credit  which  all 
retailers  have. 

Naturally,  the  ambition  of  every  re- 
tail florist  is  that  his  business  shall  in- 
crease from  year  to  year,  and  his  prob- 
lems must  be  related  to  the  securing  of 
that  end.  In  the  short  time  allotted  to 
me  it  is  impossible  that  I  should  deal 
with  the  thousand  and'  one  problems 
which  the  retail  florist  has  to  face.  I  will 
simply  tell  you  a  few  of  the  main  prob- 
lems which  I  have  encountered  in  our 
business,  and  the  ways  in  which  I  have 
attempted  to  solve  them.  I  will  speak 
of  buying,  of  the  management  of  the 
store,  with  special  reference  to  account- 
ing and  to  deliveries,  and  of  some  gen- 
eral rules  to  be  followed  in  the  securing 
of  new  business. 

BvLYing. 

One  of  the  big  problems  of  the  retailer 
is  successful  buying.  Nothing  but  expe- 
rience makes  the  buyer,  and  on  him  de- 
pends largely  the  success  or  failure  of 
the   business. 

The  first  problem  in  buying  nowadays 
is  to  decide  whether  one  shall  deal 
through  a  commission  man  or  go  direct  to 
the  grower.  Trading  direct  with  the 
grower  is  becoming  more  difficult  every 
day.     The  reason  for  this  is  that  the 


FRANK   J.    McKENNA 

Author  of  this  paper,  read  before 
the  Canadian  Horticultural  Associa- 
tion at  Montreal,  August  9,  1917,  is 
managing  director  of  McKenna, 
Ltd.,  of  that  city.  What  he  says 
embodies  the  experience  of  fourteen 
years'  management  of  a  business 
which  had  annual  sales,  at  the  be- 
ginning of  that  time,  of  $12,000  a 
year,  and  which  had  in  the  year  just 
closed  sales  amounting  to  $142,000. 
These  sales  were  all  made  in  the 
retail  business,  and  Mr.  McKenna 
thinks  it  justifies  him  in  claiming 
that  it  shows  the  business  to  be  the 
largest  in  the  Dominion. 


specialist  is  producing  the  best  stock, 
and  most  growers  are  specializing  to- 
day. That  is  a  process  through  which 
all  business  is  passing,  and,  though 
the  difficulties  of  direct  dealing  increase, 
one  can  hardly  quarrel  with  a  process 
which  produces  better  stock.  It  is  a 
costly  affair  to  secure  a  day's  supply 
direct  from  the  growers  now.  There  are 
the  telegrams  and  express  charges  on 
each  shipment,  and  there  is  the  cost  of 
each  box.  Some  growers  even  want  to 
make  profits  on  the  box.  Many  disap- 
pointments ensue,  and  often  unsatisfac- 
tory stock  is  received. 

These  considerations  force  us  to  the 
conclusion  that  we  should  buy  from  the 
commission  man.  No  doubt  he  charges 
more  for  the  stock,  but  we  see  what  we 
are  getting,  and  pay  according  to  qual- 
ity. It  also  cuts  out  our  expenses  for 
telegrams,  express  charges  and  the  cost 
of  boxes.  Some  say  that  flowers  brought 
in  from  the  growers  last  longer,  but  ex- 
perience does  not  show  this  to  have  been 
always  the  case.  Carnations  and  roses 
bought  in  Boston,  and  cut  many  hours 
longer  than  local  or  western  stock,  will 
at  times  be  hard  and  sturdy  after  the 
home  stock  is  asleep  or  fallen  to  pieces, 
even  though  the  latter  may  have  only 
come  from  three  to  fifty  miles,  and  is 
supposed  to  have  been  cut  the  same  day 
or,  at  the  earliest,  on  the  previous  eve- 
ning. More  particularly  is  this  true  with 
regard  to  carnations.  Boston  stock  ap- 
pears to  be  better  cured  before  ship- 
ping, and  it  will  at  certain  seasons  out- 
last by  two  or  three  days  Ontario-grown 
or  local  stock. 

It  may  seem  hardly  believable,  but  it 
is  nevertheless  true,  that  I  have  found 
it  more  profitable  to  pay  twenty-five  per 
cent  duty  on  American  stock  than  to 
buy  locally.  The  reason  for  this  is  that 
what  the  American  commission  man  has 
not  he  will  endeavor  to  secure  for  us, 
whereas  the  grower  simply  replies  too 
often  "Impossible  to  ship,"  at  an  hour 
too  late  to  buy  elsewhere,  or  else  he 
simply  short-ships. 

The  idea  of  a  local  market  deserves 


encouragement  and  support  if  only  for 
the  reason  that  short-stemmed  or  open 
stock  may  be  obtained  at  a  low  figure 
should  the  requirement  arise. 

Management. 

Of  all  the  problems  confronting  the 
florist,  I  believe  the  necessity  of  good 
bookkeeping  is  most  neglected,  and 
at  the  same  time  is  the  problem  which, 
to  my  mind,  it  is  most  essential  he 
should  solve.  It  is  notorious  that  a  good 
florist  is  seldom  a  good  accountant.  Art 
and  mathematics  are  poor  mixers,  and 
many  men  who  are  enthusiastic  in  their 
business  cannot  be  convinced  that  they 
are  neglecting  a  department  vital  to  the 
success  of  their  business.  There  are  in 
the  trade,  however,  some  exceptions  in 
men  who  have  recognized  the  advan- 
tages of  accurately  systematizing  costs 
and  profits.  These  men  state  confidently 
that  it  is  of  primary  value  to  them  in 
being  able  to  increase  tjieir  business  to 
know  always  at  the  end  of  each  year, 
quarter  or  month,  as  the  case  may  be, 
how  much  they  can  safely  spend  or  put 
aside.  The  man  who  wa^ts  two  or  three 
years  or  longer  to  make  a  statement  of 
his  business  deserves  to  find  himself 
where  he  usually  does,  and  that  is  no- 
where. In  all  probability  he  will  owe 
more  than  he  is  owed.  In  this  connec- 
tion, let  me  say  that  it  is  most  important 
to  keep  personal  and  housekeeping  ex- 
penses separate  from  your  business  ex- 
penses. I  mention  thig  because  it  is 
the  most  common  mistake  both  of  grow- 
ers and  retailers. 

Keeping  Tab  on  Business. 

Just  to  illustrate  my  point,  let  us  sup- 
pose your  total  sales  for  the  year  amount 
to  $1,000,  and  that  your  books  show  the 
total  cost  of  goods  bought  to  be  $600, 
or  sixty  per  cent  of  the  total  sales,  the 
business  expenses  to  be  $300,  or  thirty 
per  cent  of  the  total  sales,  and  your 
profit  to  have  been  $100,  or  ten  per  cent 
of  the  total  sales.  Having  discovered 
that  your  purchases  last  year  were  sixty 
per  cent  of  the  total  sales,  you  could 
base  your  calculations  on  that.  At  any 
future  time  you  could  get  a  rough  idea 
of  your  gross  profits  by  deducting  sixty 
per  cent  from  your  sales,  and  get  at  the 
profits  approximately  by  deducting  the 
actual  expenses.  If  the  next  annual 
statement  shows  your  percentage  of  the 
total  sales  for  purchases  to  be  higher, 
then  you  will  know  that  you  have  sold 
your  goods  cheaper,  and  that  to  make 
the  same  profit  you  must  get  your  ex- 
penses under  thirty  per  cent,  or  increase 
the  selling  price. 

Credit  is  the  great  bugbear  of  the  re- 
tailer in  any  line  of  business,  and  is 
more  so  to  the  florist,  who  is  usually 
lax  in  his  accounting.  The  only  satis- 
factory solution — I  cannot  urge  it  too 
strongly — is  to  employ  a  competent 
bookkeeper  or  accountant.  If  the  latter 
has  any  ability  he  will  soon  show  his 
worth    in    results    achieved.      If    your

business  is  too  small  to  employ  such  a 
bookkeeper,  there  are  many  capable  men 
and  women  looking  for  such  work  to 
occupy  leisure  hours.  The  amount  of 
information  you  will  secure  about  your 
own  business  by  doing  this  will,  I  feel 
certain,  increase  your  interest  greatly 
in  your  business.  By  letting  yourself 
know  what  you  have  already  achieved 
it  will  enable  you  to  set  a  goal  for  future 
efforts,  and  you  will  always  liave  some- 
thing to  look  forward  to. 

Other  details  of  management  I  will 
refer  to  while  considering  the  best 
methods  of  increasing  the  business,  as 
all  these  problems  have  an  intimate 
relation  to  each  other. 

New  Business. 

With  a  good  location,  attractive  show 
windows  well  looked  after,  a  limited 
amount  of  judicious  advertising  up  to 
three  or  four  per  cent  of  the  total  sales, 
arid  the  careful  handling  of  all  orders, 
a  retail  florist's  business  will  grow  as 
rapidly  as  one  can  well  extend  his  facili- 
ties to  look  after  it,  and  this  without  the 
aid  of  outside  soliciting  or  crape  chas- 
ing. 

By  the  careful  handling  of  orders, 
I  mean  not  only  that  the  flowers  must 
be  fresh  and  accompanied  with  sufficient 
green  whether  the  green  is  charged  for 
or  not,  but  also  that  they  must  be  done 
up  to  appear  to  the  best  advantage  when 
received.  We  must  always  think  of  the 
effect  produced  on  the  person  receiving 
the  flowers.  There  is  no  excuse  for  a 
gift  of  flowers  being  wrapped  only  in 
a  paper  parcel  for  delivery.  They  should 
be  in  a  box,  and  not  bundled  in,  either. 
In  certain  cases  they  should  be  in  a  bas- 
ket or  vase.  It  must  be  acknowledged 
that  many  florists  do  not  realize  the  im- 
portance of  delivering  flowers  in  a  neat 
and  attractive  manner. 

To  avoid  orders  being  overlooked,  and 
charges  being  forgotten  or  lost,  and 
to  prevent  disputes  with  customers, 
adopt  a  systematic  routine  for  the  han- 
dling of  orders.  Learn  how  others  do 
it,  and  do  likewise  unless  you  can  im- 
prove on  their  methods.  I  realize  that 
I  would  be  infringing  on  your  patience 
if  I  were  to  go  into  full  details  on  this 
subject,  but  I  will  take  the  liberty  of 
making  a  few  remarks  on  the  use  of 
duplicating  order  books. 

Handling  the  Orders. 

For  many  years  I  was  strongly  op- 
posed to  their  use,  l>ut  now  I  am  just  as 
strong  in  their  favor.  I  have  used 
them  for  three  years,  and  find  that  the 
advantages  outweigli  many  times  the 
disadvantages. 

Take  the  casli  order,  for  instance. 
The  original,  which  goes  to  the  customer 
as  a  receipt,  is  a  copy  of  the  order,  show- 
ing all  details.  This  prevents  many 
disputes.  On  a  cha-ged  order  the  orig- 
inal remains  with  the  duplicate  until 
the  time  for  delivery,  and  it  is  then 
filed  without  leaving  the  order  desk. 
This  prevents  its  being  lost.  Shipping 
tags  are  written  in  ink  and  attached 
to  the  duplicates.  All  orders  are  filled 
from  the  duplicate  and  notes  of  substitu- 
tions and  made-up  work  are  added  and 
initialed  by  the  clerk  filling  the  order. 
These  are  our  delivery  records,  and  they 
are  filed  in  the  order  of  delivery.  Once 
a  day  the  original  charges  are  filed 
alphabetically,  summarized  and  handed 
over  to  the  bookkeeper.  This  will  show 
you  a  few  of  the  advantages  of  the 
duplicate  order  sheet.

VISITORS  to  the  S.  .\.  F.  convention  next  week  will  find  the  retail  stores  of  New 
York  city  among  the  many  interesting  things  they  will  see.  And  one  of  the  stores 
that  will  be  es2)ecially  int<Mesting  is  that  of  M.  A.  Bowe,  '.VA2  Fifth  avenue,  the  pro- 
j)rietor  of  which  is  presidetit  of  the  New  York  Retail  Florists'  Association.  By  virtue 
of  his  position  in  the  association,  Mr.  Bowe  will  he  foremost  among  the  local  men 
who  will  do  all  they  can  to  make  the  stiiy  of  the  visitors  i)leasant.  But  even  though 
he  were  not  the  head  of  the  retailers'  organization,  Mr.  Bowe  would  give  the  guests 
at  Gotham  a  hearty  welconic  1  ecause  he  is  a  genial  })erson.  For  i>roof  of  the  last 
statement  look  carefully  at  the  jiortrait  above. 


delivery    hook   is   the    hcst    and    simplest 
method. 

Delivery. 

Owing  to  the  large  territory  which 
florists  hav(>  to  coNcr  when  making  de- 
liveries, auto  (hdivery  and  messenger 
hoys  jirove  the  must  satisfactory 
methods.  The  lowest-priced  niacdiines 
with  completely  encdosed  hodies,  al- 
though not  cheajier  in  iijjkeep  and  fuel 
c()nsnm])tion,  afTord  the  (piickest  means 
of  delivering  floweis,  and  therefore^  the 
hest  means  in  our  climate,  l-'ioni  my  ex- 
]ierience,  I  would  not  recommend  using 
one  of  these  machines  for  (hdivery  for 
more  than  one  year.  .Vfter  a  year's  serv- 
ice sell  it  and  buy  a  new  one.  It  pays. 
A  delivery  hody.  if  well  built,  will 
outlast  four  or  five  chassis.  Employ 
good,  reliable  help.  It  will  cost  you 
more,  hut  it  pays  in  the  long  run.  The 
satisfied  customer  is  your  hest  adver- 
tisement, (lood  service  in  the  delivery 
of  orders  has  more  to  do  with  l)uilding 
up  a  successful  business  than  all  the 
other  causes  combined. 


Bedding  Plants. 

Before  I  sit  down  I  would  like  to  say 
a  word  with  regard  to  the  sale  of  bed- 
ding plants  in  a  retail  store.  It  is  a 
troublesome  and  unsatisfactory  business 
for  retail  stores.  My  advice  is,  "Don't 
handle  them.''  They  suft'er  greater 
damage  in  a  few  days  than  the  profits 
on  them  amount  to.  Should  you  grow 
them  yourself,  sell  direct  from  the 
greenhouses,  and  make  yo\ir  customers 
go  there.  Don't  say,  "They  won't  go." 
They  will  if  shown  the  advantages.  We 
have  ]»roven  it,  and  although  we  have 
not  sold  a  bedding  plant  at  the  stores 
for  years,  we  have  developed  the  largest 
retail  bedding  plant  business  in  the 
])rovince,  with  gratifying  results. 


Herkimer,  N.  Y. — Xeal  Gleason,  who 
owns  a  gret'iiliouse  here,  intends  start- 
ing in  the  florists'  business,  growing 
carnations,  roses  and  ])ot  plants.  He  says 
that  the  peo])le  of  Herkimer  now  are 
forced  to  go  out  of  town  for  flowers  and 
that  there   is  a  good  demand  for  stock.

The  Florists^  Review

SOCIETY  OF  AMERICAN  FLORISTS. 


THE  CONVENTION  PEOGEAM. 

The  thirty-third  annual  convention  of  the  Society  of  American  Florists,  which 
will  be  held  in  New  York  city  next  week,  beginning  August  21  and  ending  August  23, 
naturally  is  the  center  of  interest  to  florists  everywhere.  There  probably  is  no  city  of 
any  size  in  the  country  from  which  at  least  one  florist  will  not  attend,  while  in  many 
places  delegations  have  arranged  to  make  the  trip.  What  will  be  the  effects  of  the  war 
on  the  florists'  business,  of  course,  will  be  one  of  the  principal  topics  of  the  addresses 
and  discussions,  but  the  program  provides  many  other  features  that  will  hold  the 
interest  of  the  visitors.  The  Convention  Garden  at  Bronx  park,  too,  will  attract  many, 
as  there  are  said  to  be  some  fine  displays  there.  The  New  York  Florists'  Club  has  made 
arrangements  for  the  convention  and  expects  that  there  will  be  a  record  attendance  at 
the  sessions,  which  are  to  be  held  at  the  Grand  Central  Palace.  Because  of  conditions 
there  is  no  program  of  entertainment  for  the  visitors,  but  New  York  and  vicinity 
abound  in  places  of  interest,  and  no  one  who  has  the  price  will  fail  to  find  amusement 
in  greater  or  lesser  quantities,  as  he  desires.

WIND  AND  HAIL. 


The  matter  of  the  wind  storm  insur- 
ance will  be  up  for  discussion  Sunday, 
August  19,  on  an  express  train  from  In- 
dianapolis to  New  York.  The  committee 
appointed  by  the  president  of  the  S.  A. 
r.  has  not  yet  had  the  opportunity  to 
meet  and  prepare  the  report  to  be  pre- 
sented at  the  New  York  convention. 
The  committee  consists  of  Anders  Ras- 
mussen,  New  Albany,  Ind.;  E.  G.  Hill, 
Eichmond,  Ind.,  and  J.  F.  Ammann,  Ed- 
wardsville.  111.  They  will  get  together 
at  Indianapolis  for  the  trip  to  the  con- 
vention and  will  prepare  their  report  on 
the  train. 

Mr.  Hill  is  president  of  the  Florists' 
Hail  Association,  J.  F.  Ammann  is  vice- 
president  and  Mr.  Rasmussen  is  a  direc- 
tor. Mr.  Rasmussen  also  is  the  prime 
mover  in  the  Florists'  Mutual  Casualty 
Association,  which  is  being  organized 
under  the  auspices  of  the  State  Flo- 
rists' Association  of  Indiana. 

The  Florists'  Hail  Association  will 
hold  its  annual  meeting  at  the  Robert 
Treat  hotel,  Newark,  N.  J.,  at  10  a.  m., 
August  20.  The  special  business  will 
consist  of  the  consideration  and  adop- 
tion of  a  new  constitution  and  by-laws 
drafted  by  J.  A.  Valentine  and  the  legal 
steps  necessary  to  a  renewal  of  the 
charter  of  the  organization. 


PENN'S  PRODUCERS. 

The  thermometer  registered  100  de- 
grees in  the  shade  at  Boston  August  1, 
but  that  fact  did  not  bother  the  men  of 
the  force  at  the  store  of  Penn,  the  Flo- 
rist. Business  was  unusually  heavy 
that  day,  there  being  orders  for  a  num- 
ber of  funeral  pieces  that  kept  the  de- 
signers on  the  jump.  After  the  work 
was  finished  and  ready  for  delivery,  a 
man  with  a  camera  happened  in  and 
the  force  posed  for  him.  The  accom- 
panying illustration  is  the  result. 


TATE'S  TIPS. 


The  Telegraphic  Delivery. 

The  telegraphic  delivery  of  flowers  is 
a  feature  of  the  business  that  has  al- 
ways appealed  to  me.  It  is  the  ideal 
way  to  deliver  flowers  when  distance 
is  a  factor  to  be  reckoned  with,  as  it 
does  away  with  the  trouble  and  ex- 
pense of  packing  and  the  danger  of  in- 
jury in  transportation,  to  say  nothing 
of  weather  conditions,  extreme  heat  or 
cold.  Then  another  feature  that  every 
florist  should  remember  is  the  amount 
of  business  that  is  absolutely  lost,  sim- 
ply because  the  public  is  not  familiar 
with  the  system.  To  cite  a  case:  A 
friend  of  mine  died  in  Baltimore  who 
had  an  only  brother  living  in  San  Fran- 
cisco. These  brothers  were  devoted  to 
each  other  and  the  first  thing  the  fam- 
ily did  was  to  telegraph  to  San  Fran- 
cisco. Of  course  it  was  impossible  for 
his  brother  to  get  there  in  time  for 
the  funeral  and  I  am  sure  he  knew  noth- 
ing of  the  F.  T.  D.  service  or  he  would 
have  been  represented  at  the  funeral 
by  a  floral  offering.  Many  such  cases 
are  happening  every  day.  This  is  busi- 
ness entirely  lost  to  the  trade,  the  profit 


Part  of  Staff  of  Penn,  Bostont  After  Finisliing  Large  Funeral  Order, 


of  which  the  florists  of  each  city  might 
have  shared. 

A  National  Business. 

I  fail  to  see  how  any  florist  can  be 
satisfied  with  the  narrow  confines  of  his 
home  town,  when,  by  investing  capital 
that  is  absolutely  trifling  in  compari- 
son with  the  results  obtained,  he  can  be- 
come a  member  of  an  organization  that 
will  make  his  business  national  in 
scope.  To  illustrate  what  I  mean,  take 
W.  F.  Gude,  for  instance.  Everyone 
knows  that  Gude  Bros.  Co.  is  located  at 
1214  F  street,  N.  W.,  Washington,  D.  C. 
Say  a  customer  who  has  just  been  ad- 
vised of  the  death  of  a  loved  one  or 
friend  in  Denver  walks  into  the  store; 
they  are  in  a  position  to  take  the  order 
and  assure  the  customer  that  it  will  be 
delivered  in  good  condition  almost  as 
soon  as  they  could  deliver  it  in  Wash- 
ington. In  this  way  Gude  Bros.  Co.  and 
the  florist  in  Denver  divide  the  profit 
on  business  that  would  otherwise  be 
lost  to  both.  But  I  can  hear  the  skep- 
tics say  that  at  such  a  distance  no  one 
knows  what  y6u  are  getting  for  your 
money!  Everyone  knows  that  the  first 
thing  some  member  of  the  bereaved 
family  will  do  after  the  funeral  is  to 
write  to  the  one  who  sent  the  offering, 
acknowledging  its  receipt  and  describ- 
ing it  to  them,  and  no  doubt  marveling 
at  the  system  that  made  it  possible  for 
a  token  of  sympathy  to  be  sent,  bear- 
ing the  card  of  the  sender,  thousands  of 
miles  away. 

This  feature  of  the  F.  T.  D.  carries 
out  another  idea  of  the  association,  the 
fostering  of  fellowship  and  good  will 
among  the  florists  themselves,  for  will 
it  not  be  natural  for  a  pleased  customer 
to  tell  the  florist  from  whom  he  ordered 
that  he  has  heard  from  his  friends  or 
relatives  and  that  a  handsome  offering 
had  been  sent? 

Branch  Stores  Eversrwhere! 

Now,  both  of  the  florists  figuring  in 
this  transaction  know  that  because  of 
their  memberships  in  the  F.  T.  D.  the 
whole  transaction  is  guaranteed.  The 
sender  knows  his  order  will  be  taken 


care  of  by  reliable  people  and  the  other 
that  there  will  be  no  question  about  the 
pay  for  his  work — the  association 
stands  back  of  both.  In  fact,  every 
member  of  the  F.  T.  D.  is  in  the  same  • 
position  as  if  he  had  a  branch  store  in 
almost  every  city  in  the  United  States. 

I  have  spent  some  time  in  investigat- 
ing this  organization,  in  talking  to  its 
members,  and  they  are  all  loud  in  its 
praises.  Every  place  that  I  ask  about 
the  F.  T.  D.  there  is  the  same  reply, 
that  business  done  through  this  medium 
is  most  satisfactory. 

William  F.  Gude,  of  Washington,  sent 
me  a  copy  of  the  constitution  and  by- 
laws. In  his  letter  he  told  me  that  these 
tell  the  whole  story — I  agree  they  do. 
They  are  as  near  perfect  as  it  is  pos- 
sible for  human  agency  to  make  them. 
How  any  florist  can  read  this  and  not 
become  a  member  is  more  than  I  can 
understand.  The  trustee  fund  is  a  fea- 
ture that,  as  far  as  the  interchange  of 
business  between  members  is  concerned, 
makes  Bradstreet's  and  Dun's  useless. 
Another  fine  feature  of  the  by-laws  is 
the  pledge  each  member  must  make  be- 
fore he  can  become  a  member.  This 
binds  him  to  faithfully  observe  and  be 
bound  by  each  article  of  the  constitu- 
tion and  by-laws  and  report  to  the 
board  of  directors  any  irregularity  or 
fraud  that  may  come  to  his  notice  on 
the  part  of  any  member  of  the  associa- 
tion. 

In  conclusion  let  me  say  that  in  The 
Review  of  July  19,  page  14,  there  is  an 
invitation  to  every  florist  in  the  United 
States  to  attend  a  meeting  of  this 
organization  on  the  first  day  of  the 
New  York  convention.  Mr.  Gude,  its 
president,  and  Albert  Pochelon,  its  sec- 
retary, will  be  there  to  explain  its  ben- 
efits. My  advice  to  every  retail  florist 
who  is  not  a  member  is — don 't  miss  this 
meeting,  for  it  will  be  an  opportunity 
for  you  to  derive  more  practical  good 
for  your  business  than  any  other  fea- 
ture of  the  convention  that  I  know  of.

SOCIETY  OF  AMERICAN  FLORISTS. 


THE   CONVENTION   PROGRAM. 

The  tliirt v-tliiiil  aniiual  coiivt'iition  ol'  the  .Soeiety  ol'  Amerieau  Fk)rists,  ■which 
will  be  lield  in  A'ew  Yoik  city  next  Avoeli,  beginning  August  21  and  ending  August  2o, 
naturally  is  liic  eenter  of  interest  to  llorists  everywhere.  There  probably  is  no  city  of 
any  size  in  the  country  from  which  at  least  one  llorist  will  not  attend,  while  in  many 
places  delegations  have  arranged  to  make  the  trip.  What  will  be  the  effects  of  the  war 
i>n  tlie  llorists'  business,  of  course,  will  be  one  of  the  principal  topics  of  the  addresses 
and  discussions,  but  the  program  ])rovides  many  other  features  that  will  hold  the 
interest  of  the  visitors.  The  Convention  Garden  at  Bronx  park,  too,  will  attract  many, 
as  there  are  said  to  lie  some  line  displays  there.  The  New  York  Florists'  Club  has  made 
arrangements  for  the  convention  anil  expects  that  there  will  be  a  record  attendance  at 
the  sessions,  which  are  to  be  held  at  the  Grand  Central  Palace.  Because  of  conditions 
there  is  no  ])rogram  of  entertainment  for  the  visitors,  but  New  York  and  vicinity 
abound  in  jdaces  of  interest,  and  no  one  who  has  the  price  will  fail  to  hnel  amusement 
in  greatei'  or  lesser  (jua.ntities,  as  he  desires.

where  registration  headquarters  will  be

WIND  AND  HAIL. 

The  matter  of  the  wind  storm  insur- 
ance will  be  up  for  discussion  Sunday, 
August  19,  on  an  ex[)ress  train  from  lii- 
dianapolis  to  New  York.  Tlie  committee 
a]>pointed  by  the  ])resident  of  the  8.  A. 
F.  has  not  yet  had  the  opportunity  to 
meet  and  prepare  the  report  to  be  pre- 
sented at  the  New  York  convention. 
The  committee  consists  of  Anders  Ras- 
niussen.  New  Albany,  Ind.;  K.  G.  Hill,

hold  its  annual  meeting  at  tlie  Robert 
Treat  hotel,  Newark,  N.  J.,  at  10  a.  m., 
August  20.  The  special  business  will 
consist  of  the  consideration  and  adop- 
tion of  a  new  constitution  and  by-laws 
<lrafted  by  J.  A.  Valentine  and  the  legal 
steps  necessary  to  a  renewal  of  the 
charter  of  the   organization. 


PENN'S  PRODUCERS. 

The    thermometer   registered    100    do 
grees  in  the  shade  at  Boston  August  1, 
but  that  fact  did  not  bother  the  men  of 
the  force  at  the  store  of  Penn.  the  Flo- 
rist.     Business    was    unusually    heavy 
that  day,  there  being  orders  for  a  num- 
ber of  funeral  pieces  that  kept  the  do 
signers   on  the   jump.      After   the   work 
was  finished  and   ready  for   delivery,  a 
man    with    a    camera    hajtpened    in    and 
the  force   posed   for   him.      The   accom 
panying  illustration   is  the   result. 


TATE'S  TIPS. 


The  Telegraphic  Delivery. 

The  telegrai>hic  delivery  of  flowers  is 
a  feature  of  the  business  that  has  al 
ways  a]t]»eale(l  to  m(\  It  is  th(>  ideal 
way  to  d(diver  flowers  when  ilistance 
is  a  factor  to  be  r(>ckoiieii  with,  as  it 
does  away  with  the  tinuMe  and  ex- 
])ense  of  ]>acking  and  tlir  dani;..!-  nf  in- 
jury in  transportation.  In  sa\  notliiiig 
of  weather  conditions,  ex'^r^'iiie  lieat  fir 
cold.  Then  another  featnie  that  everv 
florist  should  remember  is  tlie  amount 
of  business  that  is  absolutidv  lost,  sim 
ply  liecause  the  jiuldic  i<  nut  familiar 
with  tht>  syst(Mii.  Tn  cite  a  casr:  A 
friend  ot'  mine  died  in  P.;i  It  iniore  wlm 
had  an  only  brother  livini;  in  San  I'lan 
Cisco.  These  brothers  were  devoted  to 
each  other  and  the  first  tliin^  the  fam- 
ily did  was  to  telegiaidi  to  San  I'r.an 
cisco.  Of  course  it  was  impossible  for 
his  brother  to  get  there  in  time  for 
the  funeral  and  I  am  sure  he  knew  noth- 
ing of  the  F.  T.  D.  service  or  he  would 
have  been  represented  at  the  funeral 
by  a  floral  offering.  Many  such  cases 
are  liappening  every  day.  This  is  busi- 
ness entirely  lost  to  the  trade,  the  ]irotit

of  whicli  the  florists  of  each  city  might 
have  shared. 

A  National  Business. 

I  fail  to  see  hov\  any  floiist  can  be 
satistied  with  the  narrow  contines  of  his 
home  town,  when,  l>y  investing  capital 
that  is  alisolut(dy  tritling  in  comiiari- 
soii  with  the  results  olitaine(l,  hi>  can  be 
come  a  member  of  an  organization  that 
will  make  his  business  national  in 
scope.  To  illustrate  what  1  mean,  take 
W.  I\  (iude.  for  instance.  Kveryone 
knows  that  CiKle  Bros.  Co.  is  located  at 
1-_']4  F  street,  X.  W.,  Washington,  D.  C 
Say  a  customer  who  has  just  been  ad- 
vised of  the  death  of  a  loved  one  or 
friend  in  Denver  walks  into  tlie  store: 
they  are  in  a  ]iosition  to  taUi^  the  onlei- 
and  assure  the  customer  that  it  will  be 
deli\ere(|  in  good  con<lition  almost  fis 
soon  as  they  couhl  ibdixcr  it  in  Wash- 
ington. In  this  way  (Iude  iiros.  ( 'o.  and 
tlie  floiist  in  Deiixer  dixide  the  jirolit 
on  business  that  would  otherwise  be 
lost  to  both.  But  I  can  liear  tlir  skep 
tics  say  that  at  su(di  a  ilistance  no  one 
knows  what  you  are  getting  for  \dur 
inon(\\'I  KxtTyoiie  i<iiows  that  the  lirsl 
thing  souK^  nieiiilier  of  tlie  licreavt'd 
family  will  do  alter  tlo-  liineiiil  is  to 
write  to  the  one  who  sent  the  otfeiing, 
acknowledging  its  receijit  .and  deseiili 
iiii^  it  to  them,  aiel  no  dmilit  ni;ir\eling 
at  the  system  that  ni;ide  it  ]Hissil)le  for 
a  token  of  s\nipatli\'  to  he  sent,  bear 
iny  tli(>  card  ot'  the  sender,  thousands  of 
miles    away. 

Tiiis  featui''  ot'  tlie  I'.  T.  I».  carrier 
out  another  ide;i  ol'  the  association,  th(> 
t'ostefing  of  fellowshiji  and  good  will 
anioiii;  the  tlorists  t  hinis(d\  (>s,  for  will 
it  not  be  natural  for  a  pleased  customer 
to  t(dl  the  florist  from  whom  he  ordered 
that  he  has  heard  from  his  friends  or 
relatives  and  that  a  handsome  oft\^ring 
had   been  sent? 

Branch  Stores  Everywhere! 

Now,  both  of  the  florists  figuring  in 
this  transaction  know  that  because  of 
their  membershijis  in  the  F.  T.  D.  the 
whole  transaction  is  guaranteed.  The 
sender   knows   his   ordiT   will    be    taken

that  theic'  will  lie  no  (|uestion  alioiit  the

They  .are  as  ne.ar  perfect  as  it  is  pos-

How  any  llorist  can  read  this  and  not

nnderst.and.  The  trustee  t'lind  is  a  fea-

The  Florists^  Review 


August  1G,  1917. 


CLEVELAND. 


The  Market. 

Welcome  rains  have  come  at  last  and 
caused  a  marked  improvement  in  all 
outdoor  stock.  The  asters  have  been 
benefited  ])articularly,  late  arrivals 
showing  a  much  better  quality.  There 
are  no  good  sweet  ])eaH  coming  into  the 
market  at  present.  Local  gladioli  in  the 
better  varieties  are  being  offered  freely 
and  are  cleaned  up  daily.  Roses  have 
improved  during  the  last  week,  the 
color  now  being  good,  with  practically 
no  scorched  foliage  in  evidence.  A  lim- 
ited quantity  of  excellent  indoor  asters 
is  coming  in,  but  hardly  enough  of 
them  to  cut  any  figure  as  yet.  A  per- 
sistent demand  for  orchids  and  valley 
finds  the  local  supply  decidedly  low. 
Miscellaneous  garden  flowers  are  in 
better  asstoi'tment  and  are  as  popular  as 
ever  for  triihming.  Easter  and  rubrum 
lilies  are  plentiful,  the  former  selling  as 
low  as  $6  per  hundred. 

Business  for  the  first  two  weeks  of 
August  has  been  normally  good,  some 
concerns  reporting  gains,  due  chiefly  to 
heavy  and  continued  runs  of  funeral 
orders  and  an  occasional  large  wed- 
ding   decoration. 

Various  Notes. 

We  regret  to  report  that  the  annual 
exhibition  of  the  Ohio  Gladiolus  Society, 
which  was  scheduled  to  be  held  August 
14,  has  been  canceled  on  account  of  a 
pronounced  scarcity  of  show  stock.  A 
thorough  and  extensive  canvass  of  the 
situation  convinced  the  society  of  the 
impossibility  of  making  a  creditable 
showing  at  this  time.  This  condition  is 
particularly  regrettable,  as  a  splendid 
setting  had  been  secured  for  the  dis- 
play and  every  indication  pointed  to  an 
unprecedented  success. 

Max  Rchling,  of  New  York,  is  spend- 
ing a  part  of  his  vacation  at  Akron,  the 
former  home  of  Mrs.  Schling.  Max 
could  not  be  this  near  the  Sixth  City 
without  making  a  pleasant  call  upon 
his  friends  in  the  trade.  He  is  going 
to  St.  Louis  and  thence  direct  home, 
and  expects  to  be  in  the  pink  of  con- 
dition for  the  big  convention. 

Albert  C.  Oelschig,  of  jk.  V.  Oelschig  & 
Sons,  Savannah,  (ia.,  paid  a  visit  to  the 
Gasser  Co.  range  last  week,  having  been 
employed  there  thirteen  years  ago.  He 
expressed  himself  as  amazed  at  the 
many  changes  that  had  taken  place. 
Mr.  Oelschig  reported  business  condi- 
tions in  his  section  of  the  south  as  en- 
couraging, witli  excellent  prospects 
ahead. 

The  time  for  the  holding  of  the  fifth 
annual  flower  show  in  Cleveland,  No- 
vember 8  to  11,  is  rapidly  drawing 
near,  and  invitations  are  out  for  con- 
tril)utions  to  the  guarantee  fund,  only 
approximately  a  third  of  the  amount 
guaranteed  by  members  of  the  Florists' 
Club  in  1915  being  required  this  year. 
As  flower  shows  in  Cleveland  have  al- 
ways been  eminently  successful,  it  will 
require  but  little  time  to  raise  this 
small  amount.  In  conjunction  witli  this 
exhibition  will  be  held  the  annual  meet- 
ings of  the  national  rose,  carnation  and 
chrysanthemum  societies. 

Miss  Dorothy  Bailey,  of  the  Westman 
&  Gctz  store,  is  off  for  a  much  needed 
vacation  of  a  month  's  duration. 

Jack  Fratus,  of  the  Park  Flower 
Shop,  and  Carl  Lee,  of  the  Gasser  Co, 
have  returned  to  their  respective  duties 
after  an  enjoyable  two  weeks'  vacation. 


H.  F.  Piggott  and  C.  B.  Wilhelmy  and 
families  are  spending  a  month  in  cot- 
tages on  the  lake  front,  going  back  and 
forth  to  business  as  occasion  requires. 
All  hands  are  wearing  heavy  coats  of 
tan. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  A.  M.  Stackhouse,  of  the 
firm  of  Stackhouse  &  Iden,  Minerva, 
Ohio,  made  a  business  trip  to  the  whole- 
sale market  last  week.  J.  McL.

Midsummer  Windows  and   Chat. 

On  these  sweltering  days,  with  the 
temperature  hovering  around  100  de- 
grees, it  must  be  like  the  traveler  on 
the  desert  reaching  an  oasis  to  walk 
down  Charles  street  and  see  the  dif- 
ferent florists'  windows.  That  of  Feast 
&  Sons,  on  one  of  the  hottest  days  of 
last  week,  particularly  suggested  this. 
I  have  arranged  many  a  flower  window, 
but  any  novice  who  looked  at  this  win- 
dow could  not  fail  to  see  the  idea  the 
artist  had  in  mind  when  he  arranged 
it,  for  while  in  the  street  the  mercury 
was  near  the  century  mark,  everything

about  the  display  suggested  rest  and 
comfort.  Specimen  tree  ferns  made  up 
the  background,  with  raised  places, 
and  there  was  a  miniature  fountain  cov- 
ered with  green  sheet  moss,  as  well  as 
a  few  baskets  arranged  with  gladioli 
and  hardy  phloxes.  It  was  the  extreme 
heat  that  helped  to  attract  the  atten- 
tion of  those  passing  to  this  bit  of  floral 
art.  Inside  everyone  was  as  busy  as 
the  proverbial  nailer  with  funeral  work. 

At  the  Halliday  Bros,  store  John  Hal- 
dilay  told  of  the  wedding  they  have  for 
next  week  at  Easton,  Md.  I  asked  if 
weddings  were  not  unusual  at  this  time, 
and  he  replied  that  this  particular  wed- 
ding had  been  arranged  for  the  autumn, 
l>ut  owing  to  the  uncertainty  of  the  fu- 
ture of  the  groom,  who  is  now  in  the 
service  of  the  country,  it  was  to  take 
])lace  now,  as  there  is  no  telling  where 
Uncle  Sam's  boys  will  be  in  the  fall. 

Over  at  Cook's  I  found  Herman  Cook 
in  charge.  He  reported  two  such  wed- 
dings last  week.  This  got  me  to  think- 
ing, so  I  asked  him  how  the  florists 
fared  in  cases  where  wedding  arrange- 
ments had  been  interrupted  by  the  w^ar. 
He  told  me  the  only  thing  they  had 
missed  was  the  decorations  for  the 
home  and  church,  as  the  weddings  in- 


variably took  place  at  the  country  home 
of  the  bride,  on  the  portico  or  ])erhaps 
on  the  lawn,  and  as  there  is  often  a  con- 
servatory or  plenty  of  plants  about,  a 
decoration  is  unnecessary.  He  said  the 
hardest  thing  about  weddings  was  to 
get  valley.  They  had  to  let  the  whole- 
saler know  at  least  a  week  in  advance 
in  order  to  be  sure  of  it. 

At  the  William  J.  Halliday  place  one 
would  think  it  was  Easter  morning  In- 
stead of  the  first  week  in  August.  Mr. 
Halliday  had  a  window  of  Easter  lilies, 
which  were  as  fine  as  any  you  would  see 
on  that  holiday. 

Edward  A.  Seidewitz  had  a  window 
of  tree  ferns,  gladioli  and  asters  that 
attracted  much  attention. 

With  the  Wholesalers. 

As  I  was  out  to  see  several  of  the 
floral  sights  of  the  city,  I  thought  a  walk 
around  the  base  of  supply^ — ^the  whole- 
sale houses — might  give  me  some  news 
for  this  week 's  letter.  In  all  of '  tile 
houses  I  found  that  the  gladiol,us  and 
aster  had  the  center  of  the  stage.  It 
was  in  the  afteroon,  and  I  found  them 
all  pretty  well  cleaned  iip.-^ti  the  S.  S. 
Pennock  Co..  establishmen^j^ey  report- 
ed business  above  the  avSS^e  for  this 
time  of  the  year.  Stock,  is  plentiful, 
they  said;  that  is,  short-slJjWimed  roses, 
gladioli  and  asters.  Asters  are  not  so 
good  this  season  as  they  iSirglit  be,  but 
the  prospects  are  that  they  will  be  bet- 
ter as  the  season  advances. 

At  the  store  of  the  Baltimore  Whole- 
sale Florist  &  Supply  Co.,  H.  Glick,  the 
manager,  told  me  they  had  no  trouble 
in  disposing  each  day  of  all  the  stock 
they  could  get.  They  had  many  fine 
Easter  lilies,  also  some  fine  asters  grown 
by  G.  E.  Lutz,  of  Glenburnie.  An  espe- 
cially fine  lot  of  gladioli  at  this  place 
came  from  E.  J.  Schroeder,  of  Fullerton, 
Md.  The  company  is  anticipating  ex- 
tensive improvements  to  its  store  for 
the  coming  season. 

At  the  Niessen  place,  in  the  absence 
of  Mr.  McKissick,  W.  J.  Ekas,  right- 
hand  man,  showed  me  through  the  ice- 
boxes. In  the  coolness  of  these  one 
would  forget  the  heat  of  the  street  and 
imagine  it  was  midwinter.  There  were 
jars  of  fine,  long-stemmed  roses,  orchids, 
etc.  There  were  Ophelia  and  Sunburst 
roses  from  the  range  of  Stevenson  Bros., 
at  Towson,  that  were  fine  for  this  sea- 
son. 

Lehr  Bros,  had  a  consignment  of  Ra- 
diance, My  Maryland  and  Hoosier  Beau- 
ty that  would  be  classed  good  at  Christ- 
mas. Charles  Siegwart,  the  orchid 
sjiecialist  of  Carroll,  is  sending  in  some 
fine  flowers.  Mr.  Siegwart  started  to 
specialize  in  these  against  the  advice  of 
many  of  his  friends  in  the  trade,  who 
claimed  it  would  not  pay  in  this  local- 
ity, but  time  has  demonstrated  their 
error  in  judgment. 

Various  Notes. 

W.  Ekas  told  me  of  the  death  of  his 
uncle,  Henry  Bauer,  at  Salisbury,  Md., 
where  he  had  charge  of  a  private  place. 
He  is  survived  by  two  brothers,  Fred 
Bauer,  president  of  the  Gardeners'  and 
Florists'  Club  of  Baltimore,  and  Otto 
Bauer,  manager  for  the  S.  S.  Pennock 
Co.,  at  Washington,  and  one  sister. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Harry  Glick  are  .spend- 
ing two  weeks  at  Betterton.  Lawrence 
Summers  and  wife  are  making  an  auto- 
mobile tour  of  Virginia,  and  Kramer 
Zeik,  of  Smith  &  Co.,  is  spending  his 
vacation  at  his  old  home  in  New  York.

'  ^3'- 


NEW  YORK. 


The  Market. 

iere  have  been  few  weeks  in  the 
liiaflSfry  of  the  cut  flower  market  so 
qtlwWas  last  week,  declared  the  whole- 
sanwfl*  Apart  from  the  call  for  flowers 
for  i^uneral  work,  there  was  practically 
no  demand.  American  Beauty  roses  still 
are  worth  $3  per  dozen,  the  demand 
coming  from  the  nearby  fashionable 
summer  resorts.  Few  rose  specialties 
and  novelties  are  arriving.  The  young 
plants  are  beginning  to  do  their  share  in 
supplying  roses,  but  those  that  arrive 
are  small  and  short-stemmed.  Few 
bring  more  than  $5  per  thousand. 

The  few  carnations  that  arrive  are 
hardly  worth  the  $1  per  hundred  asked 
for  them.  Valley  is  scarce  and  August 
11  the  market  was  bare,  as  high  as  $8 
per  hundred  being  offered  for  it.  Lilies 
hold  at  $6  per  hundred  for  selects. 
Gigas  are  as  hard  to  find  as  valley,  and 
as  high  as  $1  each  was  offered  for  them 
August  11. 

Of  the  outdoor  flowers  there  is  a  veri- 
table flood.  There  is  an  oversupply  of 
asters,  although  the  large  and  high-class 
flowers  are  few.  Golden  Glow  chrysan- 
themums have  arrived.  Gladioli  are  in 
such  quantities  that  they  cannot  be 
disposed  of.  Cosmos  are  here.  Dahlias 
are  of  good  size  and  color.  There  also 
are  pond  lilies,  daisies,  goldenrod,  lark- 
spurs, zinnias,  calendulas  and  other 
summer  flowers. 

Club  Meeting. 

The  meeting  of  the  Florists'  Club 
August  13  was  attended  by  fifty  of  the 
faithful.  A.  L.  Miller  reported  progress 
for  his  entertainment  committee  and 
Mr.  Kessler  for  the  committee  in 
charge  of  the  ladies'  auxiliary  and  their 
reception  at  the  McAlpin  hotel.  C.  H. 
Totty  reported  for  his  reception  com- 
mittee and  the  decoration  duties,  under 
the  chairmanship  of  Mr.  Kervan,  are 
all  arranged  for.  There  was  some  dis- 
cussion by  Messrs.  Traendly,  Manda  and 
Totty  as  to  the  president's  reception, 
which  will  take  place  at  the  Grand 
Central  Palace. 

Messrs.  Hunt  and  Goldberg  were  elect- 
ed to  membership  and  the  latter  ad- 
dressed  the   meeting,   pledging   loyalty. 

The  only  exhibit  was  the  new  fern. 
President  Wilson,  which  was  staged 
by  its  producer,  Fritz  Dressel,  of  Wee- 
hawken,  N.  J.  It  is  a  sport  of  Teddy, 
Junior,  and  received  a  certificate  of 
merit  at  the  International  Flower  Show. 
A  graceful  letter  from  Mr.  Wilson  was 
read,  accepting  the  name.  The  club's 
certificate  of  merit  was  accorded  it. 
Mr.  Dressel  said  it  will  be  distributed 
next  year. 

Secretary  Young  made  an  optimistic 
address  as  to  the  coming  convention, 
predicting  a  large  attendance  and  great 
patronage  for  the  trade  exhibitors. 

The  resignation  from  the  club  of  Phil 
J.  Fol^v,  of  Chicago,  was  accepted  with 
regret.  \ 

The  meeting  of  the  club  September  10 
will  be  dahlia  night.  H.  C.  Riedel,  of 
Riedel  &  Meyer,  49  West  Twenty-eighth 
street,  will  take  care  of  the  shipments 
of  exhibitors. 

Pre-Conventlon  Notes. 
Members  of  the  Xew  York  Florists' 
Club,  who  are  to  be  hosts  to  the  con- 
vention visitors,  are  ready  to  receive 
their  guests.  Already  they  are  urging 
the  visitors  to  arrange  to  stay  longer 
than  the  three  days  of  the  convention. 
Thej'  say  there  are  so  many  things  to 


see  in  New  York  city  that  it  will  be  im- 
possible to  make  the  rounds  in  so  short 
a  time.  There  are  the  parks  of  New 
York  and  Brooklyn,  the  Bronx  Park  In- 
stitute close  to  the  Convention  Garden, 
the  Museum  of  Art,  the  Museum  of 
Natural  History,  the  library,  aquarium, 
the  zoo,  the  Statue  of  Liberty  and 
Coney  Island,  all  being  worth  a  visit. 

Of  course,  every  visitor  to  the  conven- 
tion will  want  to  see  the  retail  flower 
stores,  which  as  a  whole  are  the  finest  in 
the  world.  Their  owners  are  preparing 
to  welcome  the  guests. 

Surrounding  New  York  are  growers  of 
national  reputation.  Their  establish- 
ments are  large  and  interesting.  They, 
too,  will  be  glad  to  have  the  convention- 
ists  pay  them  a  visit. 

Captain  Fenrich,  of  the  New  York 
Florists'  Club  bowling  team,  reports 
that  entries  for  the  bowing  contest  are 
slow  in  coming  in.  So  far  the  Phila- 
delphia Club  team  is  the  only  one  en- 
tered, but  it  is  expected  that  others  will 
be  on  hand  to  compete  for  the  cham- 
pionship. 

E.  J.  Irwin,  who  last  week  attended 
the  conventin  of  the  Canadian  Horticul- 
tural Association  at  Montreal,  reports 
that  a  number  of  Canadian  florists  ex- 
pressed their  intention  of  being  present 
at  the  S.  A.  F.  meeting. 

The  exhibition  of  the  American  Gladi- 
olus Society  dovetails  in  with  the  S.  A. 
F.  convention,  opening  on  the  closing 
day  of  the  latter  meeting. 

Various  Notes.

Many  of  Alex.  McConnell's  employees 
are  enjoying  their  summer  vacations. 
Mr.  McConnell's  nursery  business  has 
been  exceptionally  good  this  year.     His 


grounds  at  New  Rochelle  are  beauti- 
fully arranged.  Catalpa  Bungei,  Jap- 
anese maples  and  silver  spruce  are  at- 
tractive items  there. 

Tlie  first  (ioldcn  (J  low  chrysanthe-

Hatcher's  Flower  Shop,  Schenectady, 
N.  Y.,  lias  a  window  attraction  in  a 
plant  labeled  "Night-blooming  cereus. 
Watch  it  bloom."  A  remark  was  over- 
heard that  it  might  afford  a  reasonable 
excuse  for  staying  out  late,  as  the  cur- 
few law  exists  in  that  busv  old  town. 

W.  T.  Showers,  Schenectady,  N.  Y., 
observed  that  the  heavy  hail  storm  of 
August  9  cut  up  his  outdoor  stock  con- 
siderably. Hitherto  the  call  for  cut 
flowers  for  hospital  use  had  been  good. 
It  is  claimed  that  the  liospital  atmos- 
]ihere  is  more  congenial  to  blooms  from 
the  open  than  to  those  from  the  ice- 
box. 

Julius  Eger,  of  Sclienectady,  N.  Y., 
lias  a  fine  showing  of  gladioli  and  may 
enter  some  of  them  for  exhibition  at  the 
S.  A.  F.  convention. 

Admiring  some  handsome  specimens 
of  Roster's  blue  spruce  at  Danker 's 
Nursery  on  the  Albany  road,  it  was  re- 
called that  in  Danker 's  Journal  of  1780 
reference  is.  made  to  trading  with  tho 
Hollanders.  "So,"  remarked  Fred  A. 
Danker,  "it  is  but  natural  that  we  miss 
trading  with  them  at  this  time." 

"The  most  successful  method  with  us 
(*)f  growing  cyclamen,''  observed  Fred 
Goldring,    Slingerlands,    N.    Y.,   "is    to 


stand  the  plants  on  inverted  pots  and 
spread  a  good  thickness  of  tobacco 
stems  underneath.  This  keejis  the  plants 
healthy.  Many  growers  sjiray  with  a 
contact  insecticide  to  keep  down  the 
so-called  mite  which  is  believed  to  ger- 
minate with  the  seed.  Undoubtedly, 
the  cyclamen  will  be  one  of  the  most 
popular  house  plants  next  season.  It  is 
easily  grown,  the  more  care  given  the 
plant  the  better,  and  enough  seeds  can 
be  saved  at  home  for  all  our  needs." 

' '  This  hot  spell  is  rather  hard  on 
lieather  culture,"  remarked  W.  W. 
Hannell,  Watervliet,  N.  Y.,  "but  we 
have  it  down  pretty  fine,  so  that  such  a 
thing  as  a  complete  failure  can  hardly 
happen.  Unfortunately  it  is  stocik 
that  cannot  bo  grown  so  easily  as  a  ge- 
ranium, else  it  would  be  even  more  pop- 
ular, as  it  could  be  sold  at  a  lower 
figure.  On  the  other  hand,  it  being  in 
the  class  of  aristocrats,  so  to  speak,  it 
finds  ready  sale  with  plants  of  high 
grade. ' ' 

J.  O.  Graham,  Little  Falls,  N.  Y.,  was 
not  a  sufferer  from  the  storm  of  August 
9,  but  had  he  been  as  hard  hit  as  James 
Coates,  Fonda,  N.  Y.,  that  new  range 
under  contemplation  for  some  time 
would  now  be  a  certaintv.  W.  M.

SCRAPS   FROM  MONTANA. 


Great   Falls. 


The  Electric  City,  as  Great  Palls  is 
generally  called  in  Montana,  is  well 
represented  in  the  trade.  "While  on  a 
visit  there  a  few  days  ago  the  writer 
had  the  pleasure  of  visiting  a  number 
of  hustling  workers.  M.  Kranz,  the 
proprietor  of  the  Montana  Floral  Ex- 
change, was  my  first  host,  and  his  store 
on  Third  avenue  is  one  of  the  leaders 
in  the  city.  This  is  in  charge  of  W. 
Hill,  a  live  wire,  lately  of  Seattle,  and, 
like  so  many  of  the  brethren,  an  Eng- 
lishman. A  visit  to  the  Kranz  green- 
houses was  next  in  order,  where  I 
found  Mr.  Kranz  hard  at  work  in  the 
carnation  range.  He  reports  business 
good  for  the  summer  season,  his  worst 
difficulty  being,  as  is  also  the  case  with 
the  other  florists,  a  shortage  of  good 
help.  Mr.  Kranz  has  a  good  promise  of 
fine  mums  for  the  fall  and  winter, 
though  some  of  them  seem  late  in  plant- 
ing. 

From  the  Kranz  place,  under  the  hos- 
pitable guidance  of  Mr.  Kranz,  and  in 
his  "buzz  wagon,"  we  motored  to  the 
store  of  John  Feiden,  on  Central  ave- 
nue. From  there  to  the  Feiden  green- 
houses, on  the  west  side,  where  we 
found  Mr.  Feiden  hard  at  work  prepar- 
ing his  range  for  the  winter  business. 
He  is  placing  a  new  steam  trap  in  op- 
eration, just  getting  it  connected.  The 
stock  of  mums  here  was  in  fine  condi- 
tion. 

The  writer  then  was  taken  on  a  sight- 
seeing trip  back  to  the  city  and  through 
it  out  on  Fifth  avenue,  to  the  hand- 
some store  of  the  Electric  City  Con- 
servatory. This  store  is  located  in  the 
residence  district,  and  the  proprietor 
reports  a  sixty  per  cent  increase  in  the 
July  business  over  that  of  July,  1916,  de- 
spite the  fact  that  commencing  with  the 
first  of  that  month  he  has  been  doing 
business  on  a  strictly  cash  basis.  This 
fact  should  do  much  to  refute  the  fre- 
quently repeated  statement  of  many 
that  it  is  impossible  to  handle  this 
business  without  an  almost  unlimited 
line  of  credit,  something  that  has  done, 
and  is  doing,  more  harm  to  the  trade  in 
many  places  than  almost  any  other  one 
thing. 

Taken  all  in  all,  the  trade  in  Great 
Falls  is  prosperous  and  has  a  great  fu- 
ture before  it. 

Butte. 

Butte  is  well  supplied  with  florists, 
and  all  report  that  business  is  good  in 
the  great  Copper  City.  The  Butte  Floral 
Co.  does  a  good  business  in  its  hand- 
some store,  and  is  always  busy.  One  of 
the  chief  things  that  attract  the  atten- 
tion of  a  visitor  is  the  generous  supply 
if  good  stock  always  on  hand  in  the 
,ool   rooms. 

Manlove's  Flower  Store,  which,  dur- 
ing the  last  year,  or  until  July  1,  has 
been  under  the  guidance  of  J,  W.  Hol- 
low, has  been  taken  over  by  B.  T.  Man- 
love  again.  Both  report  business  good, 
and  under  the  management  of  Mr.  Hol- 
low the  business  has  shown  a  decided 
increase. 

The  Englewood  Floral  Co.  reports  a 
good  increase  in  business.  It  has  some 
good  contracts  on  hand  this  season  for 
landscape  work  out  of  the  city. 

One  of  the  main  points  of  interest  to 
a  visitor  in  Butte  is  the  Columbia  Gar- 
dens. These  gardens,  almost  the  only 
place  of  recreation  in  the  city,  are  under 


the  capable  direction  of  V.  Siegel.  The 
large  beds  of  pansies  are  perhaps  the 
finest  to  be  seen  anywhere  and  the 
place  is  noted  for  pansies  from  coast  to 
coast.  The  greenhouses  show  some 
stock,  especially  in  summer  carnations 
and  tuberous  begonias. 

Billings. 

The  Billings  Floral  Co.,  L.  Poitras, 
proprietor,  reports  a  good  business  for 
a  new  firm.  Unfortunately,  at  the  pres- 
ent time  Mr,  Poitras  is  confined  to  his 
home  by  a  serious  illness,  but  Mrs.  Poi- 
tras is  ably  attending  to  business  in  the 
store  on  Broadway. 

Helena. 

The  capital  city  of  the  state  has  one 
of  the  largest  ranges  to  be  found  in  the 
northwest,  that  of  the  State  Nursery  & 
Seed  Co.  A  commodious  seed  store,  lo- 
cated on  Fuller  avenue,  combined  with 
a  cut  flower  store,  some  200,000  feet  of 
glass,  ample  grounds  for  outdoor  nur- 
sery stock  and  a  large  new  seed  ware- 
house, place  the  company  in  the  front 
rank  in  this  territory.  A  visit  to  the 
range  found  a  large  area  devoted  to 
roses,  mums,  poinsettias,  hardy  peren- 
nials and  other  general  stock.  One 
range  of  fourteen  houses  is  devoted  to 
carnations.  J.  P.  Ring,  the  genial  fore- 
man, informs  us  that  part  of  the  heat 
for  the  houses  is  supplied  by  means  of 
natural  hot  water,  something  that  many 
of  our  brother  florists  will  envy  during 
the  present  high  prices  of  coal.  J.  W. 
Jackson,  who  is  in  charge  of  the  whole- 
sale department  at  the  range,  reports  a 
steady  demand  for  all  the  cut  flowers 
that  the  houses  can  produce.  T.  E, 
Mills,  the  president  and  general  man- 
ager, has  been  on  the  sick  list  for  some 
months,  and  is  now  recuperating  on  the 
coast,  in  Oregon.  During  his  absence 
his  brother,  E.  W.  Mills,  of  Wenatchee, 
Wash.,  is  at  the  nursery.  At  the  store 
Walter  Card  reports  a  good  summer 
trade  and  a  great  demand  for  fall  seeds 
for  farm  use,  winter  wheat  and  rye  be- 
ing especially  in  demand. 


NASHVILLE,  TENN. 


The  Market. 


During  the  last  two  weeks  business 
has  been  exceptionally  heavy  for  mid- 
summer. The  dull  season  began  later 
this  year  than  usual,  and  probably  the 
fact  that  there  have  been  several  thou- 
sands of  soldiers  here  a  good  part  of  the 
time  has  helped  much,  though  soldiers 
are  not  as  a  rule  considered  large  pur- 
chasers of  flowers. 

Until  ten  days  ago  we  had  an  abun- 
dance of  rain,  and  outdoor  stock  has 
come  on  well.  There  never  before  has 
been  so  wide  a  range  of  flowers  offered 
to  the  summer  trade  as  this  season. 
Annuals  and  perennials  in  quantities 
have  come  in  for  a  share  of  the  popu- 
larity, and  had  it  not  been  for  these 
there  would  have  been  a  decided  short- 
age of  flowers  much  earlier  in  the  sea- 
son. At  present  flowers  are  decidedly 
scarce,  roses  being  almost  out  of  the 
market,  and  carnations,  of  course,  nil, 
so  the  trade  has  to  be  content  with 
gladioli,  lilies  and  asters.  Fortunately, 
lilies  and  gladioli  ar^  abundant. 
Gladiolus  Lily  Lehman  is  the  best  white 
to  date  for  this  climate.  It  must  be 
picked  before  it  has  had  time  to  burn, 
however.  It  is  predicted  that  this  va- 
riety will  in  time  largely  displace  Au- 


gusta,   especially    as    it    is    earlier    inS 
blooming.  I|    <  <1 

Various  Notes. 

The  question  asked  on  all  sides  the 
other  day  was.  Have  you  heard  any- 
thing about  the  bulbs?  All  the  growers 
are  trying  to  be  in  a  position  so  that  it 
will  be  possible  to  get  along  without 
serious  handicap  should  the  bulbs  not 
arrive.  Valley  will  be  missed  most, 
but,  fortunately,  there  was  more  valley 
put  in  storage  by  our  growers  last  fall 
than  ever  before,  and  valley  will  be  in 
evidence  for  some  time,  possibly  until 
spring,  even  though  no  pips  come 
across  the  water.  There  are  enough 
home-grown  daffodils  to  be  had  here  to 
tide  over  if  none  should  Come  in  the 
fall.  Calliopsis  and  hunnemannia  have 
been  tested  in  a  small  way,  have  pro- 
duced exceedingly  well  and  they  have 
sold  on  sight.  Both  are  grown  from 
seed  in  a  short  time  and  flower  for  a 
long  time. 

There  is  practically  no  new  building 
in  progress  here  this  summer.  Much 
repair  work  had  to  be  done  as  a  result 
of  the  hail  some  two  months  or  more 
ago,  and  a  little  remodeling  is  being 
done,  but  no  one  seems  to  be  enlarging 
his  place. 

The  Joy  Floral  Co.  now  has  been 
operating  its  store  in  Chattanooga  for 
more  than  six  weeks  and  is  highly 
pleased  with  the  success  of  the  venture. 
It  has  paid  expenses  from  the  first  and 
the  trade  is  on  the  increase,  even  during 
the  dull  season.  The  company  planted 
several  thousand  roses  outdoors  this 
spring,  in  order  to  increase  its  summer 
cut,  and  has  a  larger  acreage  of  gladioli 
than  ever  before.  The  company  also 
constructed  a  large  lath  house  for  grow- 
ing asters.     This  has  proven  a  success. 

Oscar  Geny  has  had  rather  a  hard 
time  this  summer  in  the  matter  of 
health,  hardly  being  able  to  attend  to 
business.  He  is  improving  slowly  and 
goes  to  the  greenhouses  every  day  long 
enough  to  be  sure  that  things  are  going 
as  they  should.  At  the  store  they  are 
having  a  good  run  of  business,  but  they 
are  extremely  short  on  roses.  They 
have  built  a  large  cooler  that  is  cooled 
by  their  own  refrigerating  machine,  so 
that  they  can  do  most  of  their  own  cold- 
storing. 

Mclntyre  Bros,  have  had  plenty  of 
diversion  this  summer  in  repairing  the 
damage  done  by  the  spring  hail 
Things  are  in  good  shape  again  and  the 
crop  is  coming  on  nicely  for  another 
year.  They  have  a  good  cut  of  gladioli 
and  some  excellent  roses  at  present,  as 
well  "as  the  line  of  general  stock. 

Haury  &  Sons  have  been  doing  a 
steady  plant  business  during  the  sum- 
mer and  even  now  are  selling  pot  plants 
for  boxes  and  bedding  at  a  fair  rate. 
This  certainly  has  been  an  unusual  sea- 
son. 

J.  F.  Corbett  has  a  nice  lot  of  roses  in 
the  field,  and,  as  usual,  they  are  produc- 
ing well.  He  is  shipping  cut  gladioli  to 
St.  Louis.  F.  B. 


Chippewa  Falls,  Wis. — F.  S.  Weigand, 
who  recently  sold  his  place  at  the  corner 
of  Bay  street  and  Grand  avenue,  is 
tearing  down  the  five  greenhouses  there. 
Four  will  be  erected  on  his  farm  outside 
the  city  limits,  and  the  other  will  be 
put  up  in  the  rear  of  his  new  home  on 
Columbia  street,  where  the  family  will 
live  and  where  Mr.  Weigand  will  con- 
tinue the  retail  business  he  established 
seventeen  years  ago.

OBITUARY 


Josepb  W.  Vestal. 

Joseph  W.  Vestal,  senior  member  of 
the  firm  of  J.  W.  Vestal  &  Son,  Little 
Bock  and  Argenta,  Ark.,  died  at  his 
home  on  Eiverside  drive,  Argenta, 
August  6,  after  an  illness  of  two  weeks. 
Although  Mr.  Vestal  had  b^eu  in  ill 
health  during  the  last  year,  his  condi- 
tion was  not  considered  serious  until 
shortly  before  his  death.  He  was  82 
years  of  age  and  is  survived  by  his  wife, 
one  son,  Charles  Vestal,  and  two  daugh- 
ters, Mrs.  William  Smith,  of  Argenta, 
and  Mrs.  Ella  Wiggle,  of  Chicago. 

Mr.  Vestal  went  to  Argenta  in  1880 
from  Cambridge  City,  ,Ind.,  and  estab- 
lished the  greenhouse  range  which  he 
managed  until  the  sickness  which  caused 
his  death  forced  him  to  cease  work.  His 
son,  Charles  Vestal,  was  associated  with 
him  in  the  management  of  the  com- 
pany's affairs,  which  consisted  of  a 
range  and  retail  store  in  Little  Eock, 
and  the  Argenta  establishment.  The 
son  will  continue  the  business. 

Funeral  services  for  Mr.  Vestal  were 
held  from  the  Scottish  Eite  Cathedral 
August  8.  The  services  were  attended 
by  Scottish  Eite  Masons,  who  are  mem- 
bers of  Arkansas  Consistory  No.  1.  Bur- 
ial was  in  Oakland  cemetery. 

John  A.  Bopp. 

John  A.  Bopp,  who  recently  sold  his 
greenhouse  range  and  the  land  adjoin- 
ing in  Cumberland,  Md.,  and  moved  to 
his  farm  on  the  Bedford  road,  near  that 
city,  was  found  drowned  in  the  pond 
on  the  latter  place  August  1.  It  is  be- 
lieved that  worry  over  moving  was  the 
cause  of  his  act,  as  he  had  expressed  a 
disinclination  to  make  the  change.  Mr. 
Bopp  was  62  years  old  and  was  born  in 
Germany.  He  came  to  this  country 
forty-six  years  ago,  and  in  1901  bought 
a  greenhouse  range  on  the  Potomac 
river.  In  February,  1916,  he  added  a 
retail  store  to  his  holdings.  Mr.  Bopp 
was  the  third  of  his  family  to  die  by 
drowning,  his  father  having  lost  his  life 
under  similar  circumstances  in  Ger- 
many, and  his  son,  William  Bopp,  hav- 
ing been  drowned  several  years  ago 
while  skating.  He  is  survived  by  his 
wife,  two  sons,  J.  Elmer  Bopp  and 
Arthur  Bopp,  and  one  daughter. 

Harry  H.  Youngs. 

Harry  H.  Youngs,  formerly  in  the 
nursery  business  at  Troy,  0.,  died  at  his 
home  in  Daytoi^  0.,  August  4.  Mr. 
Youngs  was  69  years  of  age,  and  is  sur- 
vived by  one  son. 

Armin  J.  Baur. 

Armin  J.  Baur,  president  of  the  Baur 
Floral  Co.,  Erie,  Pa,,  was  killed  last 
week  by  an  electric  shock  in  the  office 
of  the  greenhouses.  His  two  little 
children  were  playing  nearby. 

Mr.  Baur  was  shocked  when  he 
touched  an  uninsulated  spot  on  the 
cord  of  a  swinging  drop  light  over  his 
desk,  the  coroner  said.  A  cross  wire 
holding  the  drop  cord  in  place  had  worn 
away  a  little  of  the  insulation.  His 
right  hand  was  badly  burned.  The  nor- 
mal power  of  the  lamp  is  110  volts  and 
this  would  not  have  killed,  according  to 
officials. 

Mr.  Baur  was  born  in  Pittsburgh.  He 
was   39    vears    old.      He    had   lived    at 


Erie  most  of  his  life  and  organized  the 
floral  company  ten  years  ago.  Sur- 
viving are  his  wife  and  two  children, 
Kathryh  and  Elizabeth;  four  brothers, 
Henry  and  William  O.,  of  Erie;  A.  F.  J., 
of  Indianapolis,  and  S.  Alfred,  of  Eock- 
ford.  111.;  and  two  sisters,  Mrs.  Herbert 
Abbott  and  Mrs.  Bertha  E.  Phillips,  of 
Erie. 

Joseph  Sexton. 

Joseph  Sexton,  one  of  the  pioneer 
nurserymen  of  California,  died  recently 
at  his  home,  Goleta  Hall,  Goleta,  near 
Santa  Barbara.  Mr.  Sexton,  who  was 
75  years  of  age,  did  more  than  anyone 
else  to  foster  the  walnut  industry,  hav- 
ing been  the  originator  of  the  famous 
Santa  Barbara  Soft  Shell  and  other  va- 
rieties. At  his  home  nursery  he  had 
many  rare  and  beautiful  trees,  planted 
with  his  own  hands  forty  and  fifty  years 
ago  and  now  magnificent  specimens.  He 
is  said  to  have  fathered  the  pampas 
grass  industry  in  the  state,  having  been 
the  first  to  see  the  possibilities  of  grow- 
ing the  plumes  for  market,  dyed  and 
natural.  The  nursery  for  some  time  has 
been  operated  by  the  Santa  Barbara 
Nursery  Co.,  under  the  management  of 
J.  Pettingel.  Mr.  Sexton  leaves  a  wife 
and  nine  children.  H.  E.  E. 


are  accumulating.     Lilies  are  less  nu- 
merous, but  nevertheless  in  ample  sup-

Sullivan's  have  a  new  delivery  car. 
John  Berlin,  of  the  Flower  Growers' 
Association,  was  seen  on  the  boulevard 
last  week  with  a  new  pleasure  car. 

The  basement  of  the  Central  Flower 
Shop  has  been  transformed  into  a  sales- 
room, providing  much  needed  space  for 
sales  and  storage  purposes. 

Among  the  travelers  last  week  were 
George  Hampton,  of  the  Neidinger  Co., 
Philadelphia,  and  S.  Seligman,  with  his 
New  York  ribbons.  H.  T.

The  Market. 


DETROIT,  MICH. 


The  Market. 


Midsummer  market  conditions  re- 
main, but  the  season  promises  to  open 
earlier  than  usual.  The  few  good  roses 
available  are  in  heavy  demand,  the 
shortage  of  long-stemmed  Ophelia,  Rus- 
sell, Hoosier  Beauty  and  Shawyer  still 
being  acute.  American  Beauties  are 
arriving  in  a  more  satisfactory  manner, 
the  supply  now  seeming  to  balance  the 
demand.  Orchids  and  valley  are  of 
good  quality,  but  hard  to  procure  at 
times.      Asters    and    gladioli,    however, 


An  unusual  amount  of  funeral  work 
last  week  caused  considerable  activity 
among  the  retailers,  but  otherwise  busi- 
ness was  quiet.  There  is  a  smaller  va- 
riety of  flowers  in  the  market  than  at 
any  time  since  summer  began.  Valley 
is  of  poor  quality  and  is  scarce.  Easter 
lilies  sell  as  high  as  $3  per  dozen,  retail, 
which  is  equal  to  the  price  at  Easter. 
Asters  are  plentiful,  but  are  not  of  good 
quality.  The  supply  of  gladioli  is  equal 
to  the  demand. 

Various  Notes. 

Henry  Strobell  is  spending  the  week 
ends  at  his  cottage  at  Bradley  Beach. 

Frank  Philips,  of  Philips  Bros.,  has 
returned  from  a  fishing  trip  along  the 
coast.  He  landed  one  striped  bass 
weighing  more  than  eleven  pounds.  On 
his  return,  Fred  Philips  left  for  a  sim- 
ilar outing. 

At  the  summer  meeting  of  the  New 
Jersey  Horticultural  Society  at  Bridge- 
ton  it  was  decided  to  hold  the  winter 
meeting  at  Newark.  Tentative  dates 
for  the  meeting  are  January  8   to  10. 

R.  B.  M. 


The  "hot' '  in  hot  springs  is  the  thing 
that  greatly  interests  the  management 
of  the  State  Nursery  &  Seed  Co.,  of  Hel- 
ena, Mont.,  for  not  far  from  the  range 
there  gushes  hot  water  from  the  earth, 
and  by  pumping  this  water  into  the 
greenhouse  pipes  the  company  has  elimi- 
nated much  of  the  sting  in  its  coal  bills. 

The  whole  affair  w»s  done  in  a  bang- 
up  manner,  with  plenty  of  trimmings. 
It  was  1  o'clock  of  a  bright  afternoon, 
August  9,  when  the  good  ship  Erastus 
Wells  swung  into  the  Mississippi  and 
proceeded  upstream.  On  board  were 
seventy-five  hearty  St.  Louis  trades- 
men, members  of  the  St.  Louis  Florists' 
Club  and  guests  of  Park  Superintendent 
E.  Strehle  on  this  occasion,  the  annual 
meeting  of  the  club.  There  was  a  full 
program  on  board,  with  the  big  event, 
the  balloting  for  new  officers,  coming  off 
on  the  return  trip  from  the  city  nursery. 
Each  officer  was  reelected,  as  follows: 
President,  Jules  Bourdet;  vice-presi- 
dent, August  Hummert;  secretary,  J.  J. 
Windier;   treasurer,  W.   C.  Smith. 


It  was  tit  for  tat,  so  to  speak,  with 
the  judge  as  umpire.  Peter  Chocolos, 
a  New  York  retailer,  charged  one  Col- 
lins with  attempting  to  shoot  him. 
Whereupon  Collins  accused  the  florist  of 
trying  to  steal  Mrs.  Collins'  love,  said 
wife  being  cashier  for  Chocolos,  After 
both  parties  had  cooled  off,  however, 
the  judge  showed  what  a  good  mediator 
he  was,  and  the  contestants  agreed  to 
let  bad  enough  alone. 

"Your  Royal  Highness,"  will  be  the 
proper  form  for  Tacoma  growers  to  use 
in  addressing  their  help  if  the  labor 
scarcity  at  the  Puget  sound  city  be- 
comes more  acute.  With  the  large 
army  post  near-by  offering  special  in- 
ducements to  men,  the  grower  has  to 
handle  his  greenhouse  helpers  with  vel- 
vet gloves,  despite  advances  of  from 
twenty-five  to  fifty  per  cent  in  wages. 
"Of  course,"  says  one  employer,  "I 
can  tell  my  man  I  don't  like  his  style, 
but  it's  ten  to  one  he  will  board  the 
'jitney'  for  the  army  post  and  a  new 
job."

EESULTS. 

We  give  them.    You  get  them. 

We  both  have  them. 

Pity  the  man  whose  job  it  is  to  collect 
for  the  stock  that  went  to  sea  in  the  Nieuw 
Amsterdam. 

The  freesia  is  more  popular  than  ever 
this  season.  One  large  California  grower 
expresses  the  belief  that  the  demand  for 
bulbs  will  be  greater  than  the  supply. 

The  question  is,  if  any  azaleas  come, 
what  will  the  quality  be?  The  opinion 
obtains  that  there  has  been  so  little  care 
pot  on  the  azaleas  in  the  last  few  years 
that  there  is  extremely  little  first-class 
stock  in,  Belgium. 

The  florist  who  must  forgo  the  pleas- 
ure to  be  derived  from  attending  the 
S.  A.  F.  convention  in  New  York  next 
week,  will  get  the  benefits  of  the  gather- 
ing by  reading  the  Convention  Number  of 
The  Review,  out  August  23. 

We  all  know  that  the  cyclamen  is  one 
of  the  daintiest  of  cut  flowers,  and  a 
cyclamen  specialist  says  that  if  the  stem 
is  pulled  from  the  corm  and  then  cut  an 
inch  and  a  half  from  the  base  the  flower 
will  last  well  in  water.  Flowers  for  ship- 
ment should  always  stand  in  water  six 
hours  before  packing. 

What  the  consumer  thought  of  the  coal 
producers  and  the  prices  they  charged 
bothered  those  gentlemen  not  a  bit.  But 
the  moves  of  several  states  looking  toward 
confiscation  of  coal  properties,  and  the 
announcement  that  President  Wilson  in- 
tends taking  drastic  action,  were  fol- 
lowed by  promises  of  material  reduc- 
tions. Tickling  a  mule'.s  heels  is 
dangerovus  business,  even  if  you  are 
agile. 


BEST  BAIT  FOR  BUSINESS. 

Business,  sensitive  creature,  won't 
hang  her  hat  on  the  hall  tree  of  the  man 
who  gives  her  the  icy  stare  and  cold 
shoulder.  She  must  be  invited,  wel- 
comed and  encouraged  to  stay,  and  one 
of  the  best  ways  to  coax  her  around  is 
by  advertising. 

Now,  there  is  advertising  and  adver- 
tising, as  everybody  knows,  but  it's  the 
riglitly  placed  kind,  the  fairly  priced 
and  really  read  kind,  that  brings  home 
business,  like  this: 

Please  discontinue  our  coleus  nd  in  The  Re- 
view. We  sold  tliousands  of  coleus  plants  and 
had  to  return  money.  That's  the  only  thing  we 
rton't  like  ubout  our  ads  in  your  publication. — 
Avenue  Floral  Co.,  C.  W.  Eichling,  president. 
New  Orleans,  La.,  August  6,  1917. 

When  you  hear  a  man  complain  of  the 

cost  of  advertising,  you  can  be  pretty 

certain  he  spends  a  good  bit  of  money 

elsewhere  than  in  The  Eeview.

Such  a  showing  of  crops  seems  to  be  a 
guarantee  of  a  good  season  for  florists, 
seedsmen  and  nurserymen. 

PROSPEROUS  TIMES  COMING. 

The  current  issue  of  one  of  the  popu- 
lar magazines  contains  an  article  in 
which  an  attempt  is  made  to  forecast 
what  will  happen  to  business  in  the 
United  States  during  the  war.  The 
forecast  is  based  on  the  experience  of 
Canada  and  the  European  countries.  In 
those  countries,  it  is  asserted,  there  has 
been  an  orgy  of  spending  by  the  classes 
who  are  most  benefited  by  the  war,  and 
are  least  taxed  for  its  cost — the  skilled 
workmen. 

Such  authorities  as  H.  G.  Selfridge, 
owner  of  the  largest  department  store 
in  London  and  an  American;  a  promi- 
nent Canadian  banker,  and  Frank  A. 
Vanderlip,  president  of  the  National 
City  Bank,  New  York  city,  are  quoted. 
All  agree  that  the  United  States,  be- 
cause of  its  entry  into  the  war,  is  about 
to  experience  an  unequaled  era  of  pros- 
{terity.  They  declare  that  labor  will 
weekly  draw  a  greater  aggregate  sum 
than  ever  before; -that  this  money  will 
he  spent  not  only  for  necessities,  but  for 
luxuries  as  well.  On  the  other  hand, 
it  is  predicted,  the  wealthy  class  will 
curb  its  expenditures,  as  it  will  bear  a 
great  proportion  of  the  taxation  that 
will  be  imposed  to  carry  the  war  bur- 
den. 

This  means,  the  conclusion  is  drawn, 
that  there  will  be  more  money  spent  for 
luxuries,  unless,  of  course,  the  govern- 
ment  interferes,   than   ever  before.     It 


will  bring  about  a  change  in  the  class  of 
people  that  will  do  the  buying. 

Florists  need  have  no  fear  that  much 
of  this  money  will  not  be  spent  for 
flowers.  The  heretofore  poor  man,  now 
that  he  has  money,  will  be  as  apprecia- 
tive of  flowers  as  the  rich  man.  He  will 
be  as  ready  to  make  his  wife,  or  family, 
happy  by  the  gift  of  flowers  as  his  more 
fortunate  brother.  All  signs  point  to  a 
banner  flower  selling  season. 


CREDITS. 

Probably  no  other  subject  is  receiv- 
ing so  much  attention  as  is  being  given 
to  credits — but  the  attention  is  of  the 
wrong  kind  thus  far.  The  solution  of 
the  credit  problem  is  like  the  charity 
of  the  proverb — it  should  begin  at 
home. 

Not  one  bit  of  improvement  will  be 
made  by  talking  about  the  necessity 
for  prompt  pay — one  can  lecture  his 
neighbor  until  he  runs  out  of  breath 
and  about  all  he  will  get  for  the  trouble 
will  be,  "Why  don't  vou  do  it  your- 
self?" 

To  strengthen  the  credit  situation  in 
this  trade  there  is  just  one  way  to  go 
about  it:  Stop  selling  to  the  man  who 
pays  too  slowly;  don't  ship  without 
looking  up  the  credit  of  the  new  cus- 
tomer. Transients  should  be  asked  for 
cash,  as  far  as  that  is  practicable.  It  is 
a  matter  in  which  each  individual  must 
act  for  himself. 


WHEN  THINGS  ARE  MUTUAL. 

It  is  as  important  for  a  mutual  as- 
sociation as  for  one  organized  for  profit 
to  let  the  advantages  it  offers  be  known 
and  to  take  such  steps  as  are  necessary 
to  cause  them  generally  to  be  availed 
of.  A  large  and  constantly  increasing 
membership  is  essential  to  the  success 
of  an  organization  for  mutual  insur- 
ance— a  large  membership  spreads  the 
losses  among  a  considerable  number  of 
people,  guaranteeing  that  unexpectedly 
heavy  losses  will  not  fall  as  a  burden 
on  a  few;  steadily  increasing  member- 
ship is  a  guaranty  that  the  man  who  has 
stood  his  assessments  for  years  will  not 
some  day  be  left  to  "hold  the  bag." 

The  directors  of  the  Florists'  Hail 
Association  would  not  be  making  an  un- 
warranted use  of  the  members'  money 
if  they  were  to  use  part  of  it  in  making 
that  mutual  organization's  unquestion- 
able merits  generally  known  to  those  in 
the  trade. 

CHICAGO. 


The  Market. 


Although  trading  was  rather  slow  at 
tlie  beginning  of  last  week  in  the  whole- 
sale cut  flower  market,  a  general 
strengthening  of  demand  was  to  be 
noticed  August  9,  which  increased  with 
the  remaining  days  of  the  week  and  left 
the  credit  side  of  the  ledger  in  a  satis- 
factory condition  for  the  seven  days. 
The  poor  condition  of  the  market  the 
early  part  of  last  week  was  due  in  a  large 
measure  to  the  great  quantities  of  early 
asters  which  had  arrived,  but  this  sup- 
ply is  almost  over  and  the  late  stock 
lias  not  yet  arrived.  It  is  said  many 
plants  have  died  this  year  from  stem- 
rot. 

The  beginning  of  this  week  finds  the 
market  in  a  fairly  satisfactory  con- 
dition. Business  would  be  better  if 
there  were  more  stock.     Good  roses  are

"Glads"  You  Cannot  Get 
in  Quantity  Elsewliere 


E  have  every  day  in  quantity  such  new  varieties  as  Myrtle, 
Pendleton,  Peace,  Gold,  Pride  of  Haarlem,  Halley,  Primulinus 
Hybrids  and  many  of  Kunderd's  new  unnamed  waved  seed- 
lings—also King,  America  and  other  old  fa- 
vorites. It  is  our  belief  that  nowhere  in 
America  is  there  so  fine  a  lot  of  cut  Gla- 
diolus flowers. 


ROSES  YOU  WILL  LIKE

EASTER  LILIES 

You  will  lind  our  Easter  Lilies  about  the  most  useful  stock 
you  can  carry.  Cut  tight,  they  are  good  shippers  and  keepers — 
you  can  carry  them  several  days  and  you  will  have  the  means  of 
making  a  spray  or  wreath  on  short  notice.  We  can  fill  any  order 
by  wire,  but  why  not  arrange  for  two  shipments  a  week  ? 

ASTERS  IN  ALL  COLORS

scarce.  Carnations  are  no  factor  at  all, 
only  a  little  inferior  stock  coming  in. 

Only  a  few  American  Beauties  are 
arriving  and  these  are  readily  disposed 
of.  Russells  of  all  grades  also  are  ex- 
ceedingly scarce.  Of  the  other  varieties 
of  roses  a  considerable  shortage  of 
longer  stock  is  to  be  noticed,  which  of 
course  helps  the  shorter  grades  to  obtain 
better  prices.  The  demand  for  roses  of 
all  kinds  is  good  but  prices  are  not  high. 

The  supply  of  valley  is  just  about 
sufficient  to  meet  a  small  demand.  Or- 
chids remain  scarce.  There  are  plenty 
of  Easter  lilies.  Outdoor-grown  stocks 
are  arriving  in  larger  quantities,  but 
they  find  only  a  poor  market.  There  are 
no  good  sweet  peas  to  be  seen  on  the 
market.  Gladioli  are  arriving  in  good 
quantities  and  are  of  satisfactory 
quality.  Mrs.  King  and  America  are  the 
leaders.  Augusta  also  finds  a  good  sale, 
but  on  the  whole  the  white  and  mixed 
varieties  are  not  moving  well.  The 
novelty  varieties  are  in  better  supply 
than  ever  before  and  sell  well.  There 
is  still  a  quantity  of  early  asters.  Good 
stock,  however,  is  not  overplentiful 
and  is  in  fairly  strong  demand.  Daises 
remain  plentifuL  Giganteums  are 
abundant  and  rubrum  lilies  sell  poorly. 
Candytuft  is  almost  over,  as  are  snap- 
dragons. Gypsophila  arrives  in  ample 
quantities  and  finds  a  receptive  market. 

Various  Notes. 

G.  M.  Reburn  says  he  is  well  pleased 
with  the  condition  of  business.  "To 
show  you  how  it  is,"  said  ho,  "in  July  I 
received  mail  orders  to  the  amount 
of  $4,115  from  my  classified  ads  in  The 
Review.  The  ads  cost  $35.05,  or  less 
than  one  per  cent  of  the  sales." 

The  bulb  dealers  received  Harrisii  and 
amaryllis  last  week.  French  stock  is 
due  any  day.  Japanese  bulbs  will  be 
late.  Dutch  stock  is  expected  with  con- 
fidence now,  but  the  date  of  shipment 
is  not  yet  known.

which  they  will  embark  for  a  three 
weeks'  trip  to  Clearwater,  Fla.,  where 
Mr.  Kennicott  has  an  orange  and 
grapefruit  grove.  They  expect  to  make 
the  trip  from  New  York  by  boat.  Dur- 
ing Mr.  Kennicott 's  abSence,  J.  E.  Poll- 
worth  will  look  after  the  interests  of 
the  firm. 

At  the  Bassett  &  Washburn  Pacific 
coast  branch  at  Sierra  Madre,  Cal.,  there 
are  acres  of  kentias  raised  from  seed 
which  will  begin  to  come  on  the  market 
next  year.  Although  the  establishment 
was  planned  before  the  European  war 
had  begun  to  affect  the  market  for 
palms,  it  seems  almost  as  though  the 
present  condition  had  been  foreseen. 
"With  Belgian  importations  shut  off, 
America  must  look  to  home  growers  for 
palms.  Large  annual  sowings  of  seeds 
have  been  made  at  the  Bassett  &  Wash- 
burn establishment  in  each  of  the  last 
three  years. 

George  Wienhoeber  now  carries  seven- 
teen people  on  his  payroll.  He  claims  to 
pay  the  highest  wages  and  demands  the 
best  service,  which  may  account  for  the 
excellent  progress  his  business  has  made. 

One  of  the  show  places  of  that  part  of 
the  city  will  be  the  Italian  garden  of 
Julius  Schwill,  on  Fullerton  parkway, 
just  completed  by  William  Dilger,  of 
Detroit,  who  has  had  a  force  of  land- 
scape men  at  work  on  it  for  months.

PHILADELPHIA. 


The  Market. 

The  cut  flower  market  is  weak  and 
irregular.  There  is  no  fault  to  find 
with  the  supply.  There  are  plenty  of 
good  summer  flowers,  but  there  is  not 
enough  business  to  care  for  them. 
Gladioli  are  now  extremely  plentiful. 
The  new  crop  is  fine.  The  last  of  the 
old  crop  is  poor;  the  heat  caught  them, 
with  disastrous  results.  There  is  also 
an  excellent  supply  of  asters.  The  best 
bring  fair  prices.  The  poor  asters  are 
thoroughly  unsatisfactory  to  grower 
and  wholesaler  alike.  Easter  lilies 
have  dropped  back  in  sympathy  with  the 
general  market.  Only  orchids  and 
valley  are  scarce  and  high  in  price. 
The  Japanese  hydrangea  is  in  season. 
White  roses  are  not  equal  to  the  de- 
mand at  times.  Other  roses  are  plenti- 
ful and  cheap.  Compared  with  the  first 
half  of  last  August,  the  wholesalers  say 
that  the  volume  of  business  is  as  great 
but  the  average  prices  are  much  lower, 
as  so  many  more  flowers  are  offered  now 
than  there  were  a  year  ago. 

Greenhouse  Building. 

So  much  has  been  said  about  the 
private  places  that  would  not  operate 
greenhouses  next  winter  on  account  of 
the  unsettled  labor  and  coal  conditions, 
that  it  is  refreshing  to  receive  the  fol- 
lowing list  of  new  contracts  from  the 
Philadelphia  office  of  the  King  Con- 
struction Co.,  through  the  courtesy  of 
William  J.  Muth:

The  description  of  what  is  going  on 
at  a  thoroughly  equipped  range  like  that 
of  the  Eiverton  one  of  Henry  A.  Dreer, 
Inc.,  is  necessarily  confined  to  broad 
lines.  There  is  so  much  of  interest  that 
detail  is  out  of  the  question.    Speaking 


broadly,  then,  the  kentias  will  meet  the 
market  requirements  for  the  coming 
season.  They  are  a  magnificent  lot  in  all 
the  sizes.  The  kentia  ranges  are  a 
pleasure  to  see.  Evidently  the  buyers 
are  ordering  earlier  than  usual.  Entire 
beds  of  kentias  in  many  of  the  houses 
are  reserved  for  delivery  early  in  Sep- 
tember. The  stock  that  remains  still  is 
ample.  Cocos  Weddelliana  is  for  the 
present  confined  to  the  small  sizes.  The 
handsome  specimens  have  been  swept 
so  closely  that  no  more  will  be  available 
now.  This  dainty  palm  is  beautifully 
grown  here.  There  is  a  handsome  block 
of  Asplenium  Nidus-avis.     These   cele-

brated  bird's-nest  ferns  in  7-inch  pots 
are  particularly  fine.  They  are  thrifty 
and  clean,  reflecting  credit  on  the  cul- 
tural woric  bestowed  on  them. 

The  glory  fern,  Adiantum  Glory  of 
Mordrecht,  is  justifying  the  confi- 
dence shown  in  it.  The  houses  that  will 
be  offered  in  4-inch  pots  are  full  of 
promise.  Adiantum  Farleyense,  too,  has 
its  place,  an  exquisite  fern  of  great  re-

Boston  fern  family  is  as  strong  as  in  the 
past.  The  varieties  that  have  been

nia  rose,  Los  Angeles,  has  been  so 
amazing  that  the  agency  for  the  east 
has  again  been  secured  from  the  in- 
troducers. Fifty-one  hundred  plants  of 
Los  Angeles  were  sold  last  spring.  Of 
that  number  4,000  went  in  small  lots, 
mostly  to  amateurs,  lots  of  from  one 
plant  to  one  dozen  plants  at  $2  each,  a 
remarkable  record. 

The  railroad  embargo  and  the  short- 
age of  freight  cars  have  enhanced  the 
value  of  truck  delivery  at  Eiverton. 
Five  automobile  trucks  are  now  owned 
and  operated  by  the  concern.  Some  of 
these  trucks  make  frequent  trips  to

An  Interview  with  Robert  A.  Craig. 

"We  prove  our  confidence  in  the  fu- 
ture by  our  additions  at  Norwood — 
25,000  square  feet  of  glass  and  15,000 
square  feet  of  shed  since  last  year.  We 
are  proud  of  our  stock — more  and  even 
better  dracasnas  than  ever.  Take 
tenninalis  for  example.  We  now  have, 
in  August,  plants  as  fine  as  it  was 
formerly  considered  good  growing  to 
get  in  December.  Our  last  stock  sheets 
showed  an  almost  incredible  numl)er  of 
crotons,  which  must  be  seen  to  be  ap- 
preciated, they  are  so  fine. 

"Begonias  are  considered  scarce  this 
year;  they  are  not  scarce  at  Norwood. 
Cincinnati,  Mrs.  Peterson  and  Konkur- 
ent  are  our  leading  varieties.  We  have 
a  house  of  specimen  Areca  lutescens 
that  would  be  hard  to  equal  anywhere. 
Our  ferns,  led  by  Nephrolepis  Nor- 
wood, are  a  grand  lot.  I  want  you  to 
make  a  ]i()int  of  seeing  our  plants;  then 
you  will  understand  why  1  feel  so  en- 
thusiastic   about    them." 

Various  Notes. 

William  Wunch^'  lias  sold  liis  ])lace

be  found  in  the  market,  and  business 
is  quiet.  Outdoor  flowers  predominate 
and  will  now  do  so  for  some  weeks.  As- 
sters  and  gladioli  vie  for  supremacy. 
Both  are  abundant,  and  while  some  ex- 
tra good  stock  realizes  fair  prices  the 
general  average  is  rather  low  and  does 
not  equal  that  of  a  year  ago.  Some 
primulinus  gladioli  are  seen.  They  are 
much  more  decorative  and  far  less  stiff 
than  the  other  types  of  gladioli!  Lilies 
are  abundant  and  of  grand  quality,  but 
few  sell  at  more  than  $4  to  $5  per  hun- 
dred. Sweet  peas  are  out  of  the  market 
and  last  week's  intense  heat  finished 
the  carnations.  The  roses  arriving  are 
mainly  short-stemmed,  but  sell  moder- 
ately well. 

Cattleyas  are  scarce  and  sell  in  small 
lots  as  high  as  $12  per  dozen.  Garde- 
nias are  out  of  the  market.  Outside  of 
scabiosas,  sweet  sultans  and  cornflow- 
ers, there  are  few  miscellaneous  flowers 
arriving.  Some  gypsophilas  still  come 
from  Maine  and  New  Hampshire.  Tor- 
rential rains  August  9  and  10  seriously 
damaged  outdoor  flowers. 

Gladiolus  Exhibition. 

The  late  season,  with  a  long  drought 
added,  somewhat  affected  the  quantity 
and  quality  of  exhibits  at  the  annual 
gladiolus  show  in  Horticultural  hall 
August  11  and  12,  but  flowers  comfort- 
ably filled  the  main  hall.  For  twelve 
varieties  first  prize  went  to  C.  F.  Fair- 
banks, second  to  Jelle  Eoos.  For  six 
spikes  of  crimson,  one  variety,  H.  E. 
Meader  won  with  Black  Beauty;  sec- 
ond, Jelle  Roos,  with  Goliath.  Other 
awards  were: 

Six  spikes,  pink — H.  B.  Meader,  first,  with 
splendid  Myrtle;  S.  E.  Spencer,  second,  witli 
Mrs.   Frank  Pendleton. 

Six  spikes,  red — Jelle  Roos,  first,  with  Aleida; 
H.    E.    Meader,    second,    with    Jessie. 

Six  spikes,  white — C.  F.  Fairbanks,  first,  with 
Jessie  Palmer;  Jelle  Roos,  second,  with  Chicago 
White. 

Six  spikes,  yellow — C.  F.  Fairbanks,  first,  with 
Ida:  Jelle  Roos,  second,   with  Annie  Wigman. 

Six  spikes,  any  other  color — C.  F.  Fairbanks, 
first,  with  Loveliness;  Jelle  Roos,  second,  with 
Uerada. 

Six  spikes  primuliniis — Julia  M.  Fairbanks, 
first;  C.  W.   Rrown,   second. 

One  vase,  ten  varieties — Mrs.  Percy  G.  Forbes, 
first. 

Seedling,  one  spike — C.  Bogholt,  gardener  to 
Miss    Fanny    Foster,    Newport,    R.    I.,    with    No.

188,  which  was  a  glorified  Schwaben.  The  same 
exhibitor  won  second  with  No.  62,  which  Is  like 
Pink  Perfection,  but  much  superior. 

Fifty  varieties,  one  spike  of  each — 0.  F.  Fair- 
banks, first,  with  a  grand  collection.  Some  of 
his  best  were:  Aberdeen,  Mary  Pickford.  Bal- 
timore, Cherry  King,  Christine  Margaret  Kel- 
way.  Myrtle,  Loveliness,  Majestic,  Herada,  Lit- 
tle Fawn,  Orby,  Hyacinth,  Austrasie,  Charle-

Most  artistic  display  covering  200  square  feet 
— C.  W.  Brown  &  Son,  first,  with  a  splendid  lot 
of  flowers  well  arranged. 

Most  artistically  arranged  basket — Boston  Cut 
Flower  Co.,   first. 

The  Boston  Cut  Flower  Co.  also  put 
up  a  tastefully  arranged  display  of 
palms  and  foliage  plants.  Hanging  bas- 
kets and  other  receptacles  were  used 
and  the  effect  was  pleasing.  A  silver 
medal  was  awarded. 

C.  Bogholt  had  a  splendid  collection 
of  seedlings.  Nos.  207,  204,  208,  64  and

E.  Meader  staged  a  fine  table  of  beauti- 
ful Myrtle.  The  Eiverbank  Gardens

C.  F.  Fairbanks  received  a  well-mer- 
ited silver  medal  for  a  grand  display 
of  primulinus  hybrids,  set  up  in  large, 
well-elevated  vases,  in  big  bunches. 
Some  of  the  best  in  this  notable  display

and    decorative. 

In  twelve  varieties  of  perennial 
phlox,  for  commercial  growers,  T.  C. 
Thurlow's  Sons  were  first,  with  Maid 
Marian,  Mme.  P.  Carpentier,  Africa, 
Marquise  de  St.  Paul,  Bernice,  Stella's 
Choice,  Argon,  Elizabeth  Campbell, 
Baron  Van  Dedem,  Le  Feu  de  Monde 
and  H.  Pfleiderer.  This  concern  was 
also  first  for  six  trusses,  one  variety, 
with  Maid  Marian,  and  showed  in  addi- 
tion a  large  table  of  named  varieties 
not  for  competition. 

Edward  Parker,  gardener  to  Oliver 
Ames,  led  for  twelve  spikes  open  to 
private  gardeners,  with  Saison's  Lier- 
val,  Blue  Hills,  Montagnard,  Rose 
Queen,  Iris,  Rynstrom,  Opal,  Pink  Beau- 
ty, Von  Hochberg,  Champs  Elysees  and 
Coquelicot. 

George  N.  Smith  showed  a  good  col- 
lection of  phloxes,  one  variety,  Welles- 
ley,  receiving  honorable  mention.  Wil- 
liam Thatcher,  gardener  to  Mrs.  J.  L. 
Gardener,  showed  the  best  100  bottles 
of  annuals.  A.  E.  Kunderd  showed  the 
fine  white  gladiolus,  Lilywhite,  grown 
by  H.  E.  Meader.  It  is  an  improved 
Chicago  White  and  received  a  certifi- 
cate of  merit. 

Various  Notes. 

Thomas  Roland  is  shipping  an  aver- 
age of  5,000  roses  daily  from  his  Revere

flowers  were  ruined,  but  the  moisture 
proved  a  blessing  to  vegetable  and 
other  crops. 

Charles  Holbrow,  of  Brighton,  has 
about  10,000  plants  of  his  new  hybrid 
toa  rose,  which  is  a  cross  between  Chris- 
tie-Miller and  Taft.  The  longer  he 
grows  it,  the  better  he  likes  it.  He  has 
dropped  Hadley,  and  while  Francis 
Scott  Key  does  well  it  is  not  found 
profitable.  In  carnations  1,000  of  the 
new  Albert  Roper  have  been  planted. 
Other  stand-bys  are  Matchless,  Pink 
Delight,   Ward   and   Benora. 

C.  T.  Beasley  &  Co.  have  repiped  two 
houses  and  are  planning  to  heat  an- 
other. They  have  also  built  concrete 
walls  and  a  new  chimney.  They  have 
already  planted  in  their  pansies  and 
will  house  more  than  25,000.  One  house 
is  devoted  to  tomatoes  and  another  to 
cucumbers.  These  are  cropping  heavily. 
One  house  of  lettuce,  with  the  plants 
nicely  headed  and  fit  for  market,  bolted 
during  the  recent  heat  wave. 

F.  J.  Dolansky  has  a  fine  batch  of 
Cattleya  labiata  with  buds  showing  in 
the  sheaths.  Gigas  and  Gaakelliana 
have  done  exceptionally  well  with  him 
this  season.  He  received  a  large  quan- 
tity of  newly  imported  plants  recently. 

The  Welch  Bros.  Co.  reports  a  large 
call  for  short-steinmed  roses,  asters, 
gladioli  and  lilies.  One  customer  takes 
2,500  to  3,000  short-stemmed  roses  daily.

The    demand  for  the  better  grades   of 
roses  is  not  robust. 

The  Eawson  Conservatories,  of  Ar- 
lington, will  grow  about  100,000  carna- 
tions during  the  coming  season.  The 
varieties  are  Enchantress  Supreme, 
Benora,  Matchless,  Beacon,  Pink  De- 
light and  Ward.  They  have  three  houses 
of  chrysanthemums. 

William  H.  Carr,  of  the  Boston  Flow- 
er Exchange,  has  a  new  car  in  which 
he  expects  shortly  to  make  a  tour  of 
northern  New  England. 

McAlpine  Bros.,  of  Exeter,  N.  H.,  are 
shipping  down  a  nice  lot  of  American 
Beauty,  Double  White  Killarney  and 
single  Killarney  roses. 

Several  months  ago  it  was  announced 
in  this  column  that  Alexander  Mont- 
gomery was  to  sever  his  connection 
with  the  Waban  Bose  Conservatories. 
Within  a  day  or  two  Mr.  Montgomery 
will  take  this  step  and  a  manager  to 
succeed  him  wOl  be  appointed  during 
the  present  week.  During  his  long  stay 
at  Natick  Mr.  Montgomery  has  ever 
produced  a  high  grade  of  roses,  and  the 
Waban  Conservatories  are  always  the 
Mecca  for  rose  growers.  He  will  retire 
to  Hadley,  where  his  sons  are  running 
a  big  rose  range,  and  will  carry  with 
him  the  esteem  of  all  horticulturists  in 
this  section. 

William  A.  Hastings  is  spending  a 
few  weeks'  vacation  at  Fairhaven, 
Mass.,  getting  himself  in  condition  for 
the   fall  campaign. 

Both  private  and  commercial  growers 
have  their  labor  troubles  these  davs. 
The  staff  of  the  W.  W.  Edgar  Co.,  with 
three  or  four  exceptions,  went  out  on 
strike  August  11,  although  Mr.  Bartsch 
offered  to  meet  them  halfway,  and  the 
establishment  is  at  present  much  under- 
manned. 

Judson  Knight,  the  courteous  man- 
ager of  the  Boston  Cooperative  Market, 
is  spending  a  vacation  on  the  north 
sliore. 

William  Anderson,  of  South  Lancas- 
ter, chairman  of  the  plant  and  flower 
committee  of  the  Massachusetts  Horti- 
cultural Society,  has  been  seriously  sick 
in  the  Clinton  hospital.  I  am  glad  to 
report  that  he  is  much  improved. 

There  will  be  a  good  local  represen- 
tation  at  the  New  York  S.   A.  F.   con- 
vention, although  shortage  of  labor  and 
other  causes  will  reduce  the  attendance.

The  Market. 


The  cool  nights  following  the  extreme 
heat  have  toned  up  the  cut  stock  reach- 
ing the  market,  but  the  demand  for  it 
has  been  light.  Wholesalers  and  re- 
tailers agree  that  business  has  been  ex- 
tremely quiet,  there  being  little  doing 
outside  of  funeral  work.  Fewer  roses 
are  coming  in,  as  the  young  stock  is  not 
yet  producing.  Asters  are  abundant, 
the  white  and  purple  shades  having  the 
call.  Gladioli  are  the  best  flowers  now 
in  the  market.  The  prices  range  from 
$1  to  $3  per  hundred. 

There  has  been  a  demand  for  Easter 
lilies,  and  the  sapply  has  been  equal  to 
it.  A  few  field-grown  carnations  have 
appeared,  but  are  of  poor  quality.  Sin- 
gle tuberose  stalks  have  arrived,  but 
there  is  not  the  glut  that  is  usual  at  this 
time  of  the  year.  Valley  continues 
scarce.  Other  stock  reaching  the  mar- 
ket is  made  up  of  larkspurs,  cornflow- 
ers, calendulas,  centaureas,  candytuft, 
stocks,  snapdragons  and  auratum  lilies. 
Greens  are  plentiful. 

Club  Meeting. 

The  annual  meeting  of  the  St.  Louis 
Florists'  Club  was  held  August  9  on 
board  the  harbor  boat  Erastus  Wells. 
Seventy-five  members  of  the  club  were 
the  guests  of  Park  Superintendent 
Ernest  Strehle. 

President  Jules  Bourdet  presided  over 
the  meeting,  which  was  held  shortly 
after  the  boat  started.  It  being  the 
last  meeting  under  the  present  regime, 
committees  made  their  final  reports. 
Chairman  Windier  of  the  committee  in 
charge  of  the  outing  reported  that  the 
receipts  covered  all  expenses.  Chair- 
man Smith  made  a  report  for  the  pub- 
licity committee.  The  spring  flower 
show  committee  informed  the  club  that 
it  had  settled  with  the  guarantors  on 
the  basis  of  forty-five  per  cent.  A

National  Flower  Show  was  read.  The 
following  made  application  for  mem- 
bership: George  Waldbart,  Fred  Muller, 
Joseph  Witek  and  Fred  J.  Hermann. 
The  committee  reported  favorably  on 
the  application  of  Arthur  Beyer  and  his 
election  followed. 

At  tiiis  point  the  boat  stopped  at  the 
Chain  of  Rocks  and  all  on  board  in- 
spected the  City  Nursery,  guided  by 
Superintendent  Strehle  and  John  Mor- 
itz.  After  the  group  had  been  photo- 
graphed by  A.  B.  Mclntyre,  of  the 
Missouri  Botanical  Garden,  the  return 
trip  was  started  and  the  meeting  re- 
sumed. 

The  election  of  officers  for  the  next 
year  resulted  in  the  reflection  of  the 
old  officers,  who  were:  President,  Jules 
Bourdet;  vice-president,  August  Hum- 
mert;  secretary,  J.  J.  Windier;  treas- 
urer, W.  C.  Smith;  trustee  for  three 
years,  W.  A.  Rowe. 

J.  F.  Ammann,  of  Edwardsville,  111., 
was  present  and  responded  to  a  request 
for  a  talk  by  dealing  interestingly  with 
club  matters.  The  meeting  then  ad- 
journed. The  next  regular  meeting 
will  be  held  September  20,  instead  of 
September  13.  The  invitation  of  Edwin 
Denker  to  hold  the  meeting  at  his  place 
in  St.  Charles  was  accepted.  Luncheon 
was  served  on  board  the  steamer.  The 
members  gave  a  vote  of  thanks  to 
Superintendent  Strehle  and  the  city 
park  department  for  one  of  the  most 
enjoyable  afternoons  the  club  has  had.

County  Growers'  Association  was  held 
August  16  at  Upper  Creve  Coeur  lake. 

The  employees  of  the  St.  Louis  Seed 
Co.  spent  August  5  at  Waterloo,  111.,  the 
guests  of  the  company.  Automobiles 
conveyed  the  party  to  the  home  of  N.  B. 
Pantler,  president  of  the  company,  at 
Waterloo,  where  they  had  an  enjoyable 
time. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  J.  J.  Windier  left  Au- 
gust 11  for  Dickey,  Mo.,  with  a  party  of 
friends  for  two  weeks'  vacation  at  Hill- 
crest  Club,  of  which  they  are  members. 

Bergstermann  is  renovating  his  show 
house  facing  South  Grand  avenue. 

A  large  electric  sign  announcing  the 
National  Flower  Show  is  being  erected 
on  the  grounds  where  the  temporary 
building  to  house  the  show  will  be  put 
up. 

Jules  Bourdet,  state  vice-president  of 
the  S.  A.  F.,  has  secured  twenty-seven 
new  members  for  that  society,  and  ex- 
pects to  make  the  number  thirty  before 
the  opening  of  the  convention  in  New 
York  next  week.  Only  ten  more  are 
needed  to  make  the  total  100,  the  num- 
ber required  to  give  the  St.  Louis 
Florists'  Club  representation  on  the  S. 
A.  F.  board  of  directors. 

Mr,  and  Mrs.  F.  C.  Weber,  Jr.,  left 
last  week  for  northern  Wisconsin  to 
join  Mr.  and  Mrs.  F.  C.  Weber,  Sr., 
who  are  spending  the  summer  there. 
Thov  will  return  September  1. 

The  Florists'  Bowling  Club  will  be 
revived  this  fall.  Weekly  meetings  to 
get  into  condition  for  the  S.  A.  F.  tour- 
nament in  St.  Louis  next  April  will  be 
held.  Among  those  interested  in  the 
sport  are  Osoar  Ruff,  Edward  Niebling, 
Frank  Plotz,  Otto  Bruenig,  C.  A.  Kuehn, 
Carl  Beyer,  F.  C.  Weber,  George  Schrie- 
fer  and  J.  J.  Beneke. 

An  interesting  program  has  been  ar- 
ranged for  the  meeting  of  the  Retail 
Florists'  Association  to  be  held  August 
20  at  Mission  Inn  Garden. 

William  Ossick,  of  the  W.  C.  Smith

The  Market. 


Business  with  the  retailers  showed  a 
slight  increase  last  week,  there  being 
considerable  funeral  work.  Stock  is 
coming  in  quantities  sufficient  for  the 
demand.  Gladioli  are  abundant  and  all 
the  popular  varieties  are  available. 
Asters  also  are  plentiful,  and  gaillardias 
and  bachelor's  buttons  are  popular. 
Roses  are  good  now  and  lately  there  has 
been  a  demand  for  American  Beauties, 
which  sell  at  fair  prices.  Boston  ferns 
have  been  abundant  and  met  a  good  call. 
The  weather,  hot  and  dry,  has  had  its 
effect  on  outdoor  stock,  much  of  which 
was  lost  by  the  growers. 

Various  Notes. 

Local  growers  are  busy  getting  their 
stock  ready  for  fall  business. 

The  Sunshine  Florists'  store  is  being 
redecorated  and  will  present  a  fine  ap- 
pearance when  the  work  is  finished. 
This  store  does  an  excellent  business. 
Funeral  work  has  been  heavy  there  this 
summer. 

The  greenhouses  recently  constructed 
by  Carl  Rosange  and  John  Lindberg  are 
producing  some  fine  stock.  Excellent 
sweet  peas  were  cut  there  this  summer. 
They  have  another  house  under  con- 
struction. The  range  is  strictly  modern 
and  the  firm  has  been  doing  a  good

NORTHAMPTON,  MASS. 

The  regular  meeting  of  the  Holyoke 
and  Northampton  Florists'  and  Gar- 
deners' Club  was  held  August  7  at 
Florence,  with  F.  D.  Keyes  &  Son  as 
hosts.  Arrangements  were  made  for 
the  annual  picnic,  which  has  been 
planned  for  August  29,  at  the  Gallivan 
Bros,  farm,  Smiths  Ferry.  E.  J.  Can- 
ning gave  a  most  instructive  talk  on 
"Hardy  Herbaceous  Perennials,"  deal- 
ing with  the  subject  chiefly  from  the 
commercial  standpoint. 

Harry  Sinclair  read  a  paper  on  "The 
Lily  Fields  of  Japan,"  and  the  meeting 
adjourned  at  a  late  hour.        H.  E.  D.

The  Florists'  Review 


Adoust  16,  1917. 


Seed  Trade  News 

AMEBIOAN  SEED  TBASE  ABSOOZATIOH. 
President,  F.  W.  Bolgiano,  Waghlngton,  D.  0.; 
Secretary-Treasurer,  C.  B.  Kendel.  CleTeland,  O. 

There  are  indications  that  canna  roots 
will  be  scarce  next  winter. 

The  Harrisii  bulbs  are  in,  fine  looking 
stock,  but  the  advance  orders  are  ex- 
tremely light. 

This  spring's  shortage  of  gladiolus 
bulbs  surely  will  be  repeated  unless  the 
Holland  growers  can  get  their  stock  over. 

Reports  from  California  bulb  growers 
indicate  that  the  crop  of  Freesia  Purity 
is  turning  out  considerably  below  expecta- 
tions. 

The  seed  exporters  in  Denmark  have 
their  troubles,  but  they  seem  to  have  a 
greater  degree  of  freedom  than  is  given 
the  trade  in  any  other  European  country. 

Robert  Livingston  and  Mrs.  Living- 
ston, of  Columbus,  O.,  passed  through 
Chicago  August  14,  on  the  way  to 
Seattle  and  other  Pacific  coast  growing 
stations. 

To  REPLACE  the  quantities  of  pansy 
heretofore  imported  from  Germany  will 
call  for  more  seeds  than  are  likely  to  re- 
sult from  the  increased  plantings  and  ex- 
cellent crops  of  American  growers. 

The  British  government  has  exempted 
from  war  service  seedsmen's  employees  of 
the  classes  who  must  be  specially  trained 
or  experienced,  but  not  the  ordinary  run 
of  office,  farm  or  warehouse  employees. 

French  bulbs  reached  New  York  last 
week  and  weekly  arrivals  are  expected  for 
a  month  or  more,  as  word  has  come  of 
many  shipments  now  afloat.  It  seems 
probable  that  all  orders  will  be  filled. 

■  Late  reports  from  Japan  indicate  some 
shortage  and  the  belated  arrival  of  For- 
mosa lily  bulbs.  The  giganteums  also  will 
be  late,  but  the  delay  will  be  due  to 
the  difficulty  of  securing  steamer  space. 

The  eleventh  annual  convention  of  the 
National  Canners'  Association  and  its 
allied  associations  will  be  held  in  Boston, 
February  11  to  16,  1918.  Headquarters 
will  be  at  the  Copley  Plaza  hotel,  with 
the  exhibition  in  Mechanics'  building, 
nearby. 

Reports  of  irregularity  in  the  germina 
tion  of  seeds,  while  partly  due  to  the  un- 
favorable weather,  lead  to  the  belief  that 
the  seeds  were  from  more  than  one 
stock,  quite  possibly  some  old  seed 
mixed  with  tlie  new  to  eke  out  the 
supply. 

There  are  1,870  names  of  sweet  peas 
in  the  "Field  Notes"  of  Lester  L. 
Morse,  the  1916  edition  of  which  re- 
cently appeared.  These  names  do  not 
represent  so  many  distinct  varieties  by 
any  means,  but  are  names  that  have  been 
given  to  a  sweet  pea  by  some  dealer  and 
have  appeared  in  some  printed  list,  either 
in  America,  Great  Britain  or  Australia. 

A  LARGE  part  of  the  orders  for  Dutch 
bulbs  have  been  booked  with  the  prices 
open.  Quotations  now  coming  from  Hol- 
land indicate  ideas  of  values  there  that 
may  prove  something  of  a  shock  to  grow- 
ers here  when  they  get  their  advices  of 
them.  In  jobbing  quantities  it  is  thought 
florists  may  refuse  quite  a  good  many 
bulbs  when  they  see  what  they  will  have 
to  pay  for  them.

A  SUMMER  and  fall  price  list  somewhat

the  Leonard  Seed  Co.,  Chicago.  The  cir- 
cular has  the  outward  appearance  of  an 
insurance  policy. 

THE  VIIiMORIN  MANAGEMENT. 

In  The  Eeview  of  July  12  a  notice 
was  printed  of  the  death  of  Philippe  de 
Vilmorin,  head  of  Vilmorin-Andrieux 
&  Co.,  Paris,  probably  the  most  widely 
known  seed  house  in  the  world.  From 
Eugene  Schaettel,  who  is  known  person- 
ally to  many  American  seedsmen,  comes 
the  following  paragraph  with  regard  to 
the  future  management  of  the  busi- 
ness: 

"The  firm  will  continue  unchanged 
under  the  management  of  Jacques  de 
Vilmorin,  son  of  Maurice  de  Vilmorin, 
the  late  Henry  de  Vilmorin 's  broth- 
er, who  has  been  associated  with  the 
firm  for  a  number  of  years;  of  Count  de 
Estienne,  Philippe's  brother-in-law, 
who  has  been  a  partner  in  the  business 
for  eighteen  years;  of  A.  Henry  and  E. 
Schaettel.  Louis  de  Vilmorin,  who  spent 
some  time  in  the  United  States  before 
the  war  and  , on,  account  of  his  genial 
character  grew  80  popular  there,  will 
soon  enter  the  firm  as  an  associate  and 
Vilmorin 's  friends  may  rest  assured 
that  the  firm's  motto  will  ever  remain 
as  for  nearly  200  years:  Most  scrupu- 
lous honesty  and  straight  and  square 
dealings. ' ' 

CATALOGUES  NOT  EXEMPTED. 

A  study  of  the  text  of  the  Senate 
war  revenue  bill,  not  yet  law  and  sub- 
ject to  many  changes,  fails  to  reveal 
an  exemption  for  catalogues  in  the  mat- 
ter of  the  stamp  tax  on  parcel  post  ship- 
ments. The  paragraph  relating  to  the 
parcel  post  is  as  follows: 

Parcpl  post  packages:  Upon  erery  parcel  or 
package  weighing  more  tlian  four  ounces  trans- 
ported from  one  point  in  tlie  United  States  to 
anotiier  by  parcel  post,  a  tax  of  1  cent  for  each 
25  cents  or  fractional  part  thereof  charged  for 
such  transportation,  to  be  paid  by  the  consignor. 

No  such  parcel  or  package  shall  be  trans- 
ported until  a  stamp  or  stamps  representing  the 
tax  due  shall  have  been  affixed  thereto.

With  reference  to  the  tax  on  cata- 
logues W.  F.  Therkildson,  chairman 
of  the  Seed  Trade  Association's  com- 
mittee on  postal  affairs,  writes: 

"Referring  to  my  telegram  of  Au- 
gust 6,  I  am  exceedingly  sorry  to  re- 
port that  I  was  in  error  relative  to  the 
amended  revenue  bill. 

"In  my  first  advice  from  Senator 
Penrose  he  stated  plainly  that  cata- 
logues had  been  exempted  and  that  all 
other  parcel  post  matter  four  ounces 
and  under  was  exempted.  Thinking 
that  Senator  Penrose  had  given  me  the 
riglit  information,  I  immediately  wired 
The  Eeview  that  catalogues  had  been 
exempted.  Having  received  the  amend- 
ment clause,  it  shows  plainly  that  the

intent  of  the  bill  is  to  exempt  cata- 
logues of  four  ounces  and  under  only. 
This  makes  the  amended  bill  not  much 
better  than  the  original  one. 

"A  direct  effort  should  be  made  by 
every  member  of  the  trade  to  have  all 
catalogues  exempt.  Please  advise  the 
members  to  write  to  their  senators  and 
representatives  at  once,  advising  that 
the  amendment  is  not  satisfactory,  that 
all  catalogues  should  be  exempt  regard- 
less of  weight.  They  are  intended  for 
business  getters  and  it  is  extremely  un- 
fair to  tax  an  effort  to  get  business.  It 
is  a  direct  blow  at  business  in  the  mak- 
ing. 

"I  am  sorry  that  my  information 
caused  me  to  convey  an  erroneous  im- 
ptession,  but  I  acted  immediately  upon 
receipt  of  the  information,  which  I  felt 
to  be  authentic,  and  as  originally  word- 
ed the  clause  could  be  taken  to  mean 
that  catalogues  were  exempted.  It  is  a 
case  of  everyone  getting  busy  and 
showing  that  we  are  not  satisfied  with 
the  amendment.  It  must  be  a  case  of 
fight  for  the  exemption  of  all  cata- 
logues. No  time  should  be  lost  by  mem- 
bers of  the  trade  in  writing  their  sena- 
tors and  representatives,  saying  that 
the  amendment  as  made  does  not  meet 
with  their  approval." 

OANNERS'    CROPS. 

The  U.  S.  Bureau  of  Crop  Estimates 
has  received  from  a  special  list  of  can- 
ners  and  growers  of  canners'  crops,  re- 
ports relating  to  the  condition  August 
1,  1917,  as  compared  with  August  1, 
1916,  of  truck  crops  grown  for  canning 
purposes.  Correspondents  were  request- 
ed to  estimate  the  condition  on  the  ba- 
sis of  100  representing  a  normal  condi- 
tion.    The  results  of  the  tabulation  of 

the  replies  are  given  below:

CANARY  ISLAND  ONION   SEED. 

George  K.  Stiles,  United  States  con- 
sul at  Teneriffe,  Canary  Islands,  has 
made  the  following  report  on  the  onion 
seed  crop  there: 

"The  first  picking  of  the  onion  seed 
crop  began  in  the  islands  of  Teneriffe, 
La  Palma  and  Gomera  June  10,  and 
constituted  the  principal  export  from 
the  archipelago  to  the  United  States. 
Eeports  from  the  growers  tend  to  show 
exceptionally  good  results,  especially 
as  regards  the  yellow  and  red  seed, 
which  is  said  to  exist  in  abundance. 

"The  so-called  white  'wax'  seed  ap- 
pears to  have  suffered  slightly  from  sun 
scorch,  or  'pasado,'  as  it  is  called  by 
growers.  There  seems  no  reason,  how- 
ever, to  apprehend  any  inability  to  fill 
orders.  The  'secano,'  or  unirrigated 
onion  seed  acreage,  has  done  well,  espe- 
cially in  La  Palma  island,  where  a  well- 
timed  rainfall  has  brought  out  unusual 
quantities  of  finely  developed  'yellow' 
and  'red.' 

"Average  contract  prices  are  re- 
ported as  follows,  per  pound:  Fancy 
white  wax,  $1.25  to  $1.50;  yellow,  85 
cents  to  90  cents,  and  red,  80  cents. 
Prices  have  stiffened  considerably,  due

of  the  exchange  as  against  the  Ameri- 
can dollar.  This  means  that  the  grower 
must  increase  his  prices  this  season  in 
American  currency  by  from  fifteen  to 
twenty  per  cent  to  collect  in  pesetas 
amounts  equivalent  to  similar  quota- 
tions in  previous  years. 

' '  The  quantities  and  values  of  the 
onion  seed  exported  by  the  islands  to 
American  buyers  during  the  last  five 
years  are:  1912,  59,797  pounds  valued 
at  $74,686;  1913,  93,378,  $84,345;  1914,

ern route,  transshipping  at  San  Juan, 
Porto  Eico,  or  Havana,  Cuba,  have  im- 
proved during  tlie  last  two  months, 
and  it  does  not  appear  that  deliveries 
will  be  more  difficult  than  was  the  case 
last  year. 

"Deliveries  will  also  be  much  earlier 
than  usual,  the  first  seed  probably  ar- 
riving from  three  weeks  to  a  month 
earlier  than  during  the  last  five  sea-

GIANT  KENELWOBTH  STRAIN.  The  flowers  are  of  perfect  form 
and  substance;  many  of  the  Immense  flowers  are  from  3%-  to  4-in. 
It  is  a  striking  collection  of  beautiful  colors  and  markinss,  rich 
with  shades  of  red,  brown,  bronze,  mahogany  and  many  others  too 
numerous   to   mention.      Light,    Medium   or    Dark    Mixtures. 

GIANT  KENIIiWOBTH  SHOW.  An  extra  fine  strain  of  large  flowers; 
the  immense  flowers  are  of  circular  form  and  great  substance.  A 
beautiful  collection  of  colors  and  markings. 

GIANT  KENII.WOBTH  CUT  FLOWER  MIXTURE.  Is  a  distmci  class 
by  itself,  surpassing  all  other  strains  as  a  cut  flower  for  Inside  or 
outside  growing;  the  large  flowers  are  carried  erect  above  the 
foliage  on  heavy  stems,  7  or  8  In.  long,  in  the  most  graceful  man- 
ner, and  stand  the  hot.  dry  weather  well. 

GIANT  MASTERPIECE.  A  remarkable  type;  the  curled,  wavy  petals 
giving  the  flower  a  double  appearance;  large  flowers  of  great  sub- 
stance,  on   long,  strong  stem. 

GIANT  THREE  AND  FIVE  BLOTCHED  PANSIE8.  A  superb  mix- 
ture. Flowers  large  and  of  circular  form  and  of  great  substance. 
The  displav  of  coloring  is  unsurpassed.  A  combination  of  alniost 
every  shade  of  rich,  velvety  colors:  reds  are  particularly  conspicu- 
ous; the  petals  being  distinctly  marked  with  three  or  five  large, 
dark  blotches. 

<iIANT  PARISIAN.  The  flowers  are  of  enormous  size  and  beautifully 
marked,  mo.stly  five  dark  blotches  on  white  and  yellow  ground;  an 
unusually  showy  mixture. 

GIANT  BRONZK.  A  fine  mixture  of  all  shades  of  velvety  brown, 
bronze.    Havana  brown,   mahogany   and   copper  shades. 

TRIUMPH  OF  GIANT.  Remarkably  beautiful.  The  imposing  five- 
spotted  flowers  on  long,  vigorous  stalks  surmount  the  foliage  m  the 
most  grail  tul  manner,  are  of  enormous  size,  perfectly  round  and 
of  unusuiil  substance.  The  individual  petals  are  very  broad  and 
cover  each  other  in  such  a  manner  as  to  make  the  flowers  appear 
almost  double,  the  border  of  every  petal  being  eonspicuously  curled. 
The  plants  are  of  a  robust  growth  and  form  compact  bushes  of  a 
round   shape.

sent  out.  Seed  carefully  saved  only  from  marked  planU  of  the  best  varieties,  vflth  tne 
largest  and  best  shaped  flowers  and  richest  coloring.  It  is  impossible  to  convey 
an  adequate  idea  of  the  delightful  variations  in  color  and  markings  of  this  un- 
rivaled mixture.  500  seeds  80c.  1000  seeds  50c,  M  o*.  $1.35,  %  oz.  $2.50,  oz.

New  Early-flowering,  or  Winter  Blooming  ^S 

An  entirely  new  and  distinct  strain  of  Pansles  The  main  advantage  of  these 
new  Pansles  over  all  hitherto  existing  Pansles  is  the  extreme  earliness  of  flowering. 
Bown  at  the  same  time  as  other  Pansles,  they  begin  flowering  the  early  part  of  March 
or  as  soon  as  the  snow  is  off  the  ground,  many  times  having  four  or  five  large  flowers 
to  a  plant,  when  all  other  Pansles  are  only  showing  buda.  The  flowers  are  large,  well 
formed  and  fragrant.

20.  PRINCESS.  (The  New  Upright  Pansy.)  This  strain  is  entirely  distinct  from  all 
others.  It  is  absolutely  compact,  upright  growing.  The  flowers  are  mostly 
blotched  and  frilled  like  the  Masterpiece,  of  good  form  and  heavy  velvety  tex- 
ture on  heavy  stem  carried  well  above  the  foliage.  Attractive  by  brilliancy 
of  its  colors. 

40.  GIANT  BATH'S  EMPRESS.  The  flnest  of  fancy  English  Pansles.  Flowers  are 
very  large,  mostly  frilled  and  blotched  and  of  great  substance  and  the  colors 
are   brilliant   and   varied. 


70.  ORCHID-FLOWERED,  Mixed.  A  dwarf, 
free  bloomer,  with  a  range  of  delicate 
colors  that  do  not  exist  in  any  other 
Pansles;  a  remarkable  combination  of 
light  rose,  shell  pink,  blush  mauve, 
fawn,  light  brown,  orange  and  chamois.

The  Newest  and  Best  WInter-f  lowering  Sweet  Peas 

We  offer  with  tlie  greateet  confidence  the  splendid  Novelties  listed  below.  These  are  all  true,  thor-

The  Market. 


Business  in  general  during  the  last 
week  has  about  kept  up  to  normal,  but 
that  is  all  that  can  be  said.  There  has 
been  a  scarcity  of  stock,  generally  speak- 
ing, and  some  orders  consequently  have 
been  turned  down.  The  weather  was 
cool  and  the  temperature  showe'd  a 
marked  drop  below  that  of  the  previous 
week.  Vacations  are  in  order  and  many 
are  taking  it  easy. 

Carnations  are  about  gone,  although 
there  are  some  growers  in  this  vicinity 
who  say  they  will  not  be  out  entirely 
this  season.  New  stock  will  not  come 
in  for  some  time,  as  most  of  the  estab- 
lishments have  just  about  finished 
planting.  Asters  are  coming  more  heav- 
ily, however,  and  are  in  fine  condition. 
They  are  filling  the  carnation  gap  nicely 
and  are  moving  well.  Eoses  are  arriv- 
ing in  better  supply.  The  new  cut  is 
beginning  to  come  in  and  the  stock  is  in 
fine  form.  The  increased  supply  is  taken 
up  readily  and  clears  daily  at  good 
prices. 

The  supply  of  Easter  lilies  is  not  so 
heavy  as  it  has  been  and  the  market  on 
this  stock  is  cleaning  up  much  better. 
Valley  remains  scarce  and  the  quality 
is  hardly  as  good  as  it  should  be.  There 
are  plenty  of  gladioli,  and  these  play 
no  small  part  in  the  general  business. 
Fancy  stock  is  selling  well  and  bringing 
good  prices,  but  stock  shipped  in  is  not 
moving  so  well,  due  to  the  fact  that  it 
does  not  compare  favorably  with  the 
fresh  local  stock.

com,plete  telegraphic  outfit,  a  figure 
representing  a  messenger  boy  and  a 
large  quantity  of  telegraph  blanks  and 
telegrams.  The  window  should  bring 
good  results. 

This  community  is  eagerly  waiting  to 
hear  what  the  S,  A.  F.  will  do  in  regard 
to  the  promotion  of  a  permanent  fund 
for  collective  advertising  for  Mothers' 
day.  In  our  opinion,  this  is  one  of  the 
important  things  the  convention  will 
have  to  deal  with.  H.  J.  S.

Gladioli  are  in  liberal  supply  and  sell 
well.  The  prices  are  good,  with  America 
leading  the  lot.  Building  and  repairs 
occupy  the  attention  of  many,  and 
changes  will  be  noted  in  the  fall. 

J.  Stanley  Giles,  the  popular  presi- 
dent of  the  Florists'  Association,  ac- 
companied by  Mrs.  Giles,  have  been  en- 
joying a  vacation  at  Atlantic  City.  The 
Heck  brothers  are  at  the  famous  resort 
and  Mr.  and  Mrs.  P.  Blackman  are 
summering  at  their  bungalow  at  Cedar 
Hollow,  near  Moontown.  Lee  Arnold 
and  family  are  spending  their  vacation 
near  Ephrata,  Pa. 

The  annual  picnic  of  the  Reading 
Florists'  Association  will  be  held  Aug- 
ust 17  at  the  estate  of  F.  Baer,  near 
Kutztown.  The  committee  has  spared 
nothing  to  make  the  outing  a  big  one. 
Special  cars  have  been  chartered  and  a 
band  of  fifty-six  pieces  will  be  present 
ill  day.  The  event  in  which  most  in- 
terest is  centered  is  the  baseball  game 
between  the  Reading  boys,  captained  by 
J.  S.  Giles,  and  the  Kutztown  regulars. 
However,  there  will  be  all  the  other 
games,  and  then  some.  H.  C.  H.

The  Florists^  Review 


August  16,  1917. 


i  Pacific  Coast  DEPARTMENTlf 


LOS  ANGELES,  CAL. 


The  Market. 

A  quiet  week  in  the  retail  stores  and 
a  slightly  better  shipping  business 
about  sizes  up  the  situation.  Many  of 
the  workers  are  either  away  on  vaca- 
tions or  are  awaiting  their  turn,  while 
the  army  draft  is  making  things  unset- 
tled. Funeral  work  has  been  plentiful, 
and  there  were  a  few  wedding  decora- 
tions that  helped  to  clean  up  stock. 

The  fragrant  Amaryllis  Belladonna  is 
in,  large  quantities  of  the  earlier  flow- 
ers being  sold.  Asters  are  fairly  good 
and  dahlias  are  at  their  best. 

The  new-crop  carnations,  both  out- 
door and  greenhouse-grown,  are  an  im- 
provement on  the  blooms  that  have 
been  shipped  of  late,  and  there  should 
be  little  trouble  with  them  now,  unless 
exceptionally  hot  weather  comes.  Cen- 
taureas  are  excellent  hot  weather  flow- 
ers and  met  with  a  good  demand.  Eu- 
brum,  album  and  auratum  lilies  make  a 
fine  showing  and  are  helpful  in  the  best 
class  of  funeral  work.  Large  quantities 
of  Golden  Glow  also  serve  to  make  a 
good  showing  and  are  useful  for  decora- 
tions. 

A  notable  feature  of  the  business  is 
the  large  quantity  of  supplies  being  or- 
dered by  out-of-town  florists. 

Various  Notes. 

Clarence  Slinn  and  George  W.  Sie- 
brecht,  of  West  Twenty-eighth  street. 
New  York,  arrived  in  this  city  a  few 
days  ago,  having  motored  the  whole  dis- 
tance. 

The  death  of  Joseph  Sexton,  pioneer 
nurseryman  of  Goleta,  near  Santa  Bar- 
bara, is  recorded  in  the  obituary  col- 
umn this  week. 

S.  Murata  &  Co.  are  handling  large 
quantities  of  the  Belladonna  lily  this 
season.  Mrs.  Cartwright,  the  book- 
keeper here,  has  gone  to  San  Francisco 
for  a  two  weeks '  vacation. 

Albert  Morris,  of  the  Morris  &  Snow 
Seed  Co.,  is  off  to  the  wilds  this  week. 
He  and  a  few  friends  are  going  to  the 
Sierras  for  a  week  or  two  after  the  elu- 
si  'e  deer,  bear  or  whatever  else  comes 
along. 

Paul  Miller,  of  the  L.  A.  Floral  Co., 
has  been  drafted  for  service  in  the 
army.  Fred  Sperry  is  improving  slight- 
ly in  health,  but  will,  he  says,  have  to 
undergo  an  operation  before  he  gets 
full  relief. 

Stanley  Purdy,  of  the  O.  C.  Saake 
force,  has  returned  from  a  trip  to  Bear 
valley  which  he  says  was  most  enjoy- 
able. To  his  credit  it  may  be  said  that 
his  fish  stories  are  reasonable  to  one 
who  knows  the  big  lake. 

Frank    Lichtenberg    reports    business 


fair,  but  most  of  it  funeral  work.  Carl 
Brose,  of  the  staff  here,  has  been  draft- 
ed for  service.  Mr.  Lichtenberg  is 
speaking  of  a  long  automobile  tour  as 
his  vacation. 

Hunter  Graham,  of  the  J.  W.  Welters 
force,  reports  an  enjoyable  trip  to  Bear 
lake  in  his  new  machine.  C.  D.  Baker, 
of  Yuma,  Ariz.,  is  helping  out  until  his 
return  to  Yuma  in  October. 

H.  Reeve  Darling  is  putting  in  a  great 
deal  of  his  time  at  the  beach  now.  J, 
Ryerson,  of  the  staff,  has  joined  the 
navy  and  Wallace  Boyd  has  been  draft- 
ed for  the  army. 

The  California  Cut  Flower  Co.  is  mak- 
ing a  fine  display  at  the  store  on  West 
Seventh  street.  Some  splendid  auratum 
lilies,  artistically  arranged,  were  a  lead- 
er this  week.  Several  fine  talking  par- 
rots are  most  attractive,  especially  to 
women  customers. 

The  Germain  Seed  &  Plant  Co.  suf- 
fered a  loss  through  the  burning  of  a 
large  stock  of  Sudan  grass  seed  at  the 
ranch  in  the  Imperial  valley.  A  con- 
siderable portion  of  this  seed  was  al- 
ready contracted  for  and  it  was  only 
partially  insured. 

Walter  Armacost  has  returned  from 
his  hunting  trip  in  the  high  Sierras, 
where  he  has  been  for  several  weeks. 

Bert  Harris,  formerly  of  the  Darling 
force  and  previously  with  the  American 
Florist,  is  on  a  visit  here.  He  is  now 
associated  with  B.  M.  Joseph,  of  San 
Francisco. 

Wright's  Flower  Shop  is  showing 
some  superb  lotus,  many  of  the  new 
varieties  coming  from  the  Sturtevant 
ponds  in  Hollywood.  Some  fine  fancy- 
leaved  caladiums  are  also  being  shown. 

J.  Dieterich  reports  that  the  repairs 
to  the  Montebello  greenhouses  have 
been  completed  and  that  the  houses  will 
be  in  good  shape  for  fall  business.

SAN  FRANCISCO. 


The  Market. 

Asters  continue  to  increase  in  supply 
and  improve  in  quality  from  day  to  day. 
The  blooms  are  now  of  good  size,  the 
colors  in  wide  variety,  all  good,  and  the 
stems  all  that  can  be  desired.  Heavy 
shipments  are  being  sent  out  of  the 
state  and  the  local  market  absorbs  its 
share  of  -the  daily  offerings.  Chrysan- 
themums are  following  closely  on  the 
asters.  The  first  Golden  Glow  put  in  an 
appearance  this  week.  The  growers 
down  the  peninsula  expect  to  begin  cut- 
ting Monrovia  about  August  20  and 
October  Frost  about  the  same  time.  The 
acreage  is  practically  the  same  as  last 
year  and  the  prospects  are  favorable  for 
a  normal  crop.  No  difficulty  is  being 
experienced  in  cleaning  up  the  early  ar- 
rivals at  comparatively  high  prices, 
Violets  promise  well  also.  They  wUl 
probably  arrive  quite  freely  by  the  end 
of  the  month.  A  few  scattering  bunches 
are  coming  in  now,  but  not  enough  to 
go  around  by  any  means.  The  first 
amaryllis  of  the  season  is  beginning  to 
arrive  and  the  limited  offerings  are 
readily  absorbed.  Zinnias  have  had  a 
long  period  of  popularity,  but  interest 
in  them  is  beginning  to  wane.  Gladioli 
are  plentiful  and  the  demand  leaves  no 
ground  for  complaint.  The  dahlias  make 
a  wonderful  showing,  many  of  the 
blooms  being  unusually  large  this  sea- 
son. A  liberal  supply  of  snapdragons 
finds  an  outlet. 

There  is  little  to  be  said  about  roses. 
American  Beauties  are  a  minus  quan- 
tity and  other  good  roses  are  few  and 
far  between.  Ulrich  Brunner  roses,  which 
have  been  the  mainstay  for  two  or  three 
weeks,  are  beginning  to  get  scarce  and 
deteriorate  in  quality.  Ward  and  Red 
Radiance  average  about  the  best  now.

Orchids  .are  scarce  and  there  is  barely 
enough  valley  to  tide  over  the  demand. 
Some  days  the  shortage  is  acute.  Gar- 
denias help  to  relieve  the  situation,  but 
they  are  not  so  plentiful  as  they  were. 

Various  Notes. 

Joseph  Lagomarsino,  one  of  the  lead- 
ing violet  growers  of  California,  has 
sixteen  acres  planted  to  violets  at 
Colma,  south  of  San  Francisco,  from 
which  he  expects  to  begin  picking  about 
August  27.  From  present  indications 
he  will  have  a  splendid  crop.  At  the 
height  of  the  season  last  year  he  cut 
around  280  dozen  bunches  per  day. 

G.  Madvig,  of  the  C.  Kooyman  Co., 
Inc.,  is  gratified  to  learn  that  their  long- 
distance aster  shipments  are  arriving  in 
good  condition.  They  were  a  little  un- 
certain about  sending  them  as  far  as 
Atlanta,  Ga.,  but  have  received  word 
that  the  experiment  was  successful.  The 
new  basket  department  at  this  estab- 
lishment is  getting  a  nice  lot  of  orders. 

.r.  A.  Axell,  manager  of  the  E.  W.  Mc- 
Lellan  Co.,  is  spending  his  vacation  in 
Mendocino  county,  hunting  and  fishing. 
Friends  are  wishing  him  good  luck. 

E.  W.  McLellan  returned  recently 
from  southern  Oregon,  where  he  went 
to  accompany  his  family  home  for  the 
opening  of  school.  Mrs.  McLellan  had 
l)een  there  for  several  weeks  for  the 
benefit    of   her   health. 

V.  Holmes,  superintendent  of  the  Mc- 
i-ellan  nurseries,  has  recovered  from  an 
attack  of  scarlet  fever,  which  forced 
an  absence  of  eight  weeks. 

V.  Podesta,  of  Podesta  &  Baldocchi, 
is  back  from  a  delightful  automobile 
trip  to  Lake  Tahoe  and  other  points  of 
interest.  N.  F.  Baldocchi  reports  busi- 
ness satisfactory  for  the  season  of  the 
year.

snapdragons.  The  colors  are  particu-

The  Market. 


August  business  so  far  has  been  satis- 
factory, but  the  lack  of  rain  has  re- 
sulted in  a  shortage  of  outdoor  stock, 
and  asters,  which  usually  can  be 
counted  on  for  August,  are  of  poor 
quality.  The  recently  j)lauted  carna- 
tions are  in  good  form,  but  it  seems  that 
not  so  many  are  being  grown  as  last 
year.  The  stock  of  pot  plants  for  win- 
ter sales  appears  to  be  short  and  not 
far  advanced.  Many  of  the  growers 
have  been  busy  stringing  up  the  chrys- 
anthemums, of  which  there  will  be  an 
ample  supply  when  the  time  comes.  Im- 
provements, repairs  and  the  acquisition 
of  fuel,  aside  from  vacations,  are  the 
order  of  the  day. 

Various  Notes. 

August  Zitzewitz  has  recovered  from 
his  three  weeks  of  illness  and  has  caught 
up  with  his  greenhouse  work.  His  car- 
nations, of  which  there  are  about  8,000, 
are  in  fine  condition.  He  has  two  houses 
of  mums,  one  of  greens  and  a  small  one 
of  Christmas  begonias.  He  reports  that 
trade  during  the  last  year  has  been 
satisfactory,  especially  in  the  shipping

Weather  conditions  are  more  satis- 
factory now,  though  it  should  be  added 
that  we  never  have  to  endure  the  ex- 
treme heat  that  the  middle  west  does. 
Seldom  does  the  temperature  register 
100  degrees  and  the  hot  days  are  always 
followed  by  cool,  refreshing  nights. 

So  far  as  we  are  able  to  learn,  carna- 
tion stock  has  been  benched  for  at  least 
a  month  and  is  looking  well.  H.  L. 
Olsson  was  perhaps  the  last  to  plant, 
having  been  delayed  by  reason  of  un- 
finished buildings.  The  new  range  is  a 
model  and  will  form  a  splendid  nucleus 
for  the  company's  future  operations. 
From  two  to  four  more  houses  may  be 
added  next  year. 

Stock  is  sufficient  for  most  demands, 
but  it  generally  is  of  poor  or  medium 
quality.  Carnations  are  of  usual  sum- 
mer grade;  roses  ditto.  Hutchinson's 
sweet  peas  are,  as  usual  during  the  sum- 
mer, the  best  in  the  market. 

The  Spokane  Greenhouse  Co.  has  been 
supplying  the  town  with  rubrum  lilies. 
In  this  item  the  company  has  managed 
to  have  almost  the  entire  market  to 
itself. 

Adolph  Donart  caught  tlie  market 
with  a  fine  cucumber  eroj)  and  realized 
a  handsome  profit.  Higli  prices,  holding 
for  a  longer  period  than  usual,  have 
been  a  good  thing  for  the  vegetable 
growers. 

Bernson  &  Halle  have  had  two  houses 
of  cucumbers  and  tomatoes.  These  have 
paid  well  tliis  summer.  Young  carna- 
tion stock  is  looking  well.  Particularly 
is  this  true  of  Aviator,  of  which  they 
expect  great   things. 

C.  T.  Kipp,  of  the  Spokane  Florist 
Co.,  returned  a  few  days  ago  from  a 
trip  to  Alaska.  He  says  Alaska  is  a 
great  place  for  a  vacation. 

A  recent  visitor  was  the  always  wel- 
come Martin  Reukauf,  representing  H.

Perfect  weather  conditions  have  pre- 
vailed and  may  be  partly  responsible 
for  the  manner  in  which  business  has 
kept  up.  There  are  dull  days,  of  course, 
but  large  funerals  and  other  work  main- 
tain a  good  average. 

Stock  is  short  in  variety,  but  there 
are  enough  blooms  of  the  few  varieties 
available.  Peas  are  fine,  the  best  seen 
for  years.  They  sell  anywhere  from 
5   to  25   cents  ])er  bunch,  according  to

She  reports  business  dull  during  the  hot 
spell. 

"William  Crammatte,  of  Aberdeen, 
was  in  Tacoma  on  business.  Mr.  Cram- 
matte  says  business  in  Aberdeen  is  bet-

count of  strikes. 

Julius  Dilloff,  of  Schloss  Bros.,  New 
York,  called  on  the  trade  last  week,  and 
from  his  genial  smile  upon  leaving  we 
surmise  that  he  picked  up  some  good 
orders. 

E.  Myers,  new  manager  of  the  Holly-

itor.   He  spent  a  few  days  at  the  green-

Lloyd  C.  Stark,  president  of  the 
American  Association  of  Nurserymen, 
is  at  the  Army  and  Navy  Club,  Wash-

yet  been  commissioned,  but  is  in  the 
officers'  reserve  for  the  new  army. 


HOW  WHOLESALERS  COULD  HELP. 

[Following  are  further  extracts  from  an  ad- 
dress by  M.  R.  Cashman,  of  Owatonna,  Minn., 
delivered  at  the  Philadelphia  convention  o*  the 
American  Association  of  Nurserymen.  In  the 
first  portion  of  his  address  Mr.  Casbman  buk- 
gested  that  the  association  establish  a  bureau  for 
the  betterment  of  trade  conditions  between 
wliolesalers   and  retailers.  ] 

One  of  the  duties  of  the  proposed 
wholesalers'  bureau  would  be  to  give 
out  information  on  many  of  the  varie- 
ties now  being  propagated.  Many  re- 
tailers throughout  the  country  are  sell- 
ing worthless  varieties  simply  because 
they  do  not  know  any  better.  These  va- 
rieties go  to  the  planters  and  prove  to 
be  a  damage  instead  of  a  benefit.  There 
are  hundreds  of  land-owners  who  at  one 
time  have  been  ambitious  to  plant  and 
operate  extensive  commercial  orchards, 
but  because  they  were  sold  worthless 
varieties  at  the  start  they  soon  gave  up 
the  idea,  with  a  firm  conviction  that  it 
could  not  be  made  a  success.  This  has 
all  been  brought  about  through  the  fail- 
ure of  nurserymen  to  make  a  study  of 
conditions  and  to  be  prepared  to  fur- 
nish the  most  valuable  varieties  that 
would  bring  success  to  the  planter.  The 
wholesalers'  bureau  in  giving  out  in- 
formation of  this  character,  therefore, 
could  do  a  vast  amount  of  good  toward 
the  sale  of  nursery  stock. 

The  bureau  could  also  be  a  bureau  of 
publicity,  and  I  want  to  say  here  that 
the  nursery  business  seems  to  be  the  last 
industry  to  recognize  the  wonderful  re- 
sults derived  from  advertising.  The 
only  publicity  we  have  today  in  our 
business  is  that  done  by  the  traveling 
salesman  and  the  few  catalogues  mailed 
out  by  the  mail-order  houses.  The  pub- 
licity committee  undoubtedly  has 
covered  this  subject  thoroughly,  so  I 
simply  call  your  attention  to  it. 

Why  Wholesale  Prices  to  Everybody? 

The  wholesalers'  bureau  could  also  be 
used  as  a  means  to  suppress  the  perni- 
cious practices  indulged  in  by  both  the 
wholesaler  and  retailer.     One  of  these,  j

nicious  practice.  •  I  believe  if  all  nurser- 
ies issuing  wholesale  lists  could  be 
brought  to  realize  that  a  wholesale  list 
placed  in  the  hands  of  a  planter,  land- 
scape gardener  or  park  board  is  ruin- 
ous to  the  trade,  they  would  discontinue 
the  practice  immediately.  Cheap  prices 
do  not  sell  goods,  Ymt  cheap  prices  are 
the  most  effective  weapons  that  I  know 
of  to  fight  salesmen  with.  The  whole- 
salers should  get  together,  study  the 
conditions  and,  as  far  as  they  are  able, 
remedy  these  evils.  The  wholesaler  can- 
not get  along  without  the  retailer  and 
the  retailer  will  not  be  in  the  market 
for  stock  unless  he  is  able  to  dispose 
of  it  through  his  salesmen. 

How  Wholesalers  Kill  Dealers'  Trade. 

Many  retailers  employ  catalogues  as 
their  salesmen  to  sell  their  stock,  but  I 
am  sure  you  will  agree  with  me  that  the 
greater  part  of  the  nursery  stock  sold 
throughout  the  rural  districts  is  dis- 
posed of  through  traveling  salesmen. 
This  being  true,  no  one  can  question 
that  the  traveling  salesman  is  necessary 
to  maintain  our  trade,  and  it  follows 
that  the  salesman  must  be  protected  in 
the  territory  wheie  he  is  operating. 
But  one  of  our  salesmen  made  the  fol- 
lowing report:  "I  called  on  a  certain 
prospect    today   and   he   asked   me    my

station,  plus  a  reasonable  commission 
for  tne  salesman's  work.  The  bids  are 
opened  and  it  is  found  that  some  whole- 
saler in  Iowa,  Illinois  or  New  York  has 
quoted  a  price  even  lower  than  we  could 
buy  the  stock  ourselves  in  carload  lots. 
Is  this  protection  or  encouragement  to 
a  salesman,  and,  above  all,  what  kind  of 
impression  does  it  make  on  the  public? 
The  result  of  this  kind  of  competition  is 
that  the  order  is  placed  with  the  whole- 
saler. 

Now,  gentlemen,  do  you  not  think 
that  the  wholesalers,  through  a  central 
bureau  and  through  cooperation,  could 
remedy  these  practices?  I  am  satis- 
fied that  they  could,  and  I  firmly  be- 
lieve that  the  retailers  are  entitled  to 
protection  and  encouragement  from  the 
wholesalers.  All  we  ask  is  that  you 
make  wholesale  prices  only  to  those  en- 
gaged in  the  business,  and  if  you  wish 
to  sell  at  retail  we  offer  no  objection, 
but  we  do  want  you  to  quote  a  price 
no  lower  than  we  are  compelled  to  ask 
for  the  goods  when  we  buy  from  you 
and  resell  through  our  salesmen,  who 
receive  a  commission.

The  change  to  cool  weather  last  week 
had  a  favorable  effect  on  business.  The 
demand  was  far  greater  than  during  the 
whole  month  of  July  and  the  stores 
were  scenes  of  activity.  Funeral  work 
is  in  the  lead,  counter  trade  shows  a 
great  improvement  and  there  are  a  few 
good-sized  weddings. 

Tho  quality  of  the  cut  flowers,  botli 
greenhouse-grown  and  outdoor  stock, 
has  improved  as  a  result  of  the  cooler 
weather.  Gladioli  are  tlie  leaders  and

are  a  large  number  of  lilies,  the  majority 
of  these  selling  at  $8  per  hundred.

is  good,  the  blooms  bringing  good  re- 
turns. Fine  summer  rosos  wholesale

door flowers  and  a  liberal  supply  of 
dagger  ferns,  but  plumosus,  smilax, 
and  Sprengeri  are  practically  off  the 
market. 

Various  Notes. 

Frank  Knecht  has  returned  from  a 
several  days'  business  trip  to  Detroit. 
His  daughter,  Miss  Martha  Knecht,  re- 
turned last  week  from  a  two  weeks'  trip 
on  the  great  lakes  to  Mackinaw  city 
and  Duluth.  Some  good  summer  \roses, 
including  Eussell,  Shawyer,  Ophelia  and 
Sunburst,  are  being  cut  daily  af\  the 
Knecht  greenhouses. 

The  Doswell  Floral  Co.  reports  a 
heavy  run  on  funeral  work,  with  a  good 
supply  of  gladioli,  asters  and  roses  to 
meet  the  demand.  G.  W.  Doswell  has 
just  returned  from  a  several  weeks' 
stay  at  St.  Louis,  where  he  visited  his 
daughter. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Edmund  J.  Lanternier 
and  family  are  spending  two  weeks  at 
Snow  lake.  Good  summer  stock  is  be- 
ing displayed  in  the  store  of  A.  J. 
Lanternier  &  Co. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  W.  J.  Vesey,  Jr.,  are 
planning  to  attend  the  S.  A.  F.  con- 
vention at  New  York.  Excellent  roses, 
lilies,  asters  and  oncidiums  are  being 
cut  at  the  Vesey  greenhouses.  This  firm 
has  made  arrangements  with  E.  C.  Am- 
ling  Co.,  of  Chicago,  to  handle  its  large 
cut  of  orchids  for  the  season,  the  first 
shipment  having  been  made  last  week. 

Miss  Marguerite  Flick  is  spending 
several  weeks  in  Detroit.  The  Flick 
Floral  Co.  had  an  exceedingly  busy 
week  with  funeral  and  wedding  work> 
A.  M.  Shive,  manager  of  the  green- 
houses, has  purchased  a  new  runabout.

Adiantum  Farleyense  Gloriosum 

The  Glory  Fern 

(Ruhm  von  Mordrecht) 

This  splendid  Fern,  which  so  closely  resembles  Adiantum  Far- 
leyense in  appearance  and  which  does  not  reauire  the  special  skill 
and  care  in  growing  that  is  necessary  to  produce  good  plants  of  A. 
Farleyense,  has  auickly  made  a  place  for  itself  not  only  on  account 
of  the  fact  that  it  can  be  produced  for  little  over  half  that  of  grow- 
ing Farleyense,  but  also  because  either  in  a  cut  state  or  as  plants 
used  in  decorative  work,  it  will  outlast  the  old  variety  ten  to  one, 
making  it  an  available  subject  where  Farleyense  cannot  be  used  at 
all.  Since  its  introduction  some  five  or  six  years  ago  there  has 
never  been  a  supply  large  enough  to  meet  the  demand. 

We  have  this  season  prepared  an  extra  large  stock  and  we  o£fer 

2^4-inch  pots $1.60  per  doz.;  $10.00  per  100

Pteris  Childsi 

This'beautiful  variety  is  to  Pteris  what  Farleyense  is  to?Adian- 
tums.  and  like  that  variety  produces  no  spore,  so  that  propagation 
is  by  the  rather  slow  method  of  division,  which  will  keep  it  a  rare 
variety.  The  plant  is  of  strong  growth,  attaining  a  height  of  about 
20  inches;  fronds  large,  pinmr  deeply  dentated  and  undulated;  tips 
crested.    Makes  a  beautiful  specimen  for  exhibition. 

Fine  plants,  5- inch  pots.  76c  each. 


We  extend  a  cordial  invitation  to  all  delegates  of  the  S.  A.  F.

Greenhouse  Heating. 

Subscribers  are  invited  to  write  the 
Editor  of  this  Department  with  regard  to 
any  details  of  greenhouse  heating  that 
are  not  understood.  But  please  do  not 
ask  The  Eeview  to  make  k  choice  of  ap- 
paratus for  you.  The  greenhouse  heating 
equipment  advertised  in  this  paper  is,  we 
believe,  the  best  for  the  trade  to  buy, 
and  each  article  the  best  in  the  special 
field  of  its  adaptation. 

TWO  HOUSES,  WITH  SOLID  BEDS. 

Please  advise  me  about  the  installa- 
tion of  a  heating  system  in  my  two  new 
greenhouses,  each  28%xl00.  I  wish  to 
have  most  of  the  pipes  around  the  walls 
and  overhead,  as  the  beds  will  all  be 
solid.  If  I  use  steam,  can  I  bring  all 
the  return  back  from  the  opposite  end 
of  the  greenhouses  through  one  line? 
If  so,  how  many  1^4 -inch  pipes  and 
what  size  of  return  will  be  needed  for 
each  house?  The  side  walls  are  six  feet 
high;  half  of  this  height  is  glass  and  the 
other  half  weather  boarding.  I  wish 
to  be  able  to  keep  a  temperature  of  60 
degrees.  Sometimes  the  outside  temper- 
ature here  drops  to  10  degrees  below 
zero.  If  I  install  a  hot  water  system, 
how  many  2-inch  returns  will  be  needed 
in  each  house  and  what  size  of  flows? 
Which  system  would  you  recommend,  hot 
water  or  steam,  considering  the  present 
price  of  pipe?  A.  E.  M. — Okla. 


So  far  as  the  arrangement  of  the  pip- 
ing is  concerned,  we  can  see  no  reason 
why  steam  heat  cannot  be  used  for  the 
two  houses  described.  For  a  single 
house  of  this  size  we  generally  prefer  a 
hot  water  system,  since  it  requires  less 
attention.  For  the  two  houses,  consid- 
ering the  present  cost  of  pipe,  we  would 
suggest  the  use  of  steam. 

To  heat  with  steam  we  would  use,  in 
each  house,  one  2V2-inch  overhead  main 
and  fourteen  l^A-inch  returns,  in  two 
coils  on  the  side  walls.  The  main  flow 
pipe  should  be  3-inch,  unless  the  flow 
pipe  in  each  house  can  be  readily  con- 
nected with  the  boiler.  We  would  use  a 
114-inch  return  for  each  coil,  and  a  1^/^-

hot  water  is  used,  we  would  put  iu 
3-inch  flow  pipes  on  the-  plates  in  each

USE  A  DOWNHILL  SYSTEM. 

Please  tell  me  how  to  pipe  my  green- 
house for  hot  water  heat.  The  crop  will 
be  carnations  and  the  temperature 
needed  will  be  45  to  55  degrees.  The 
house  is  21x31,  six  feet  high  to  the 
eaves  and  twelve  feet  to  the  ridge.  The 
foundations  are  concrete.  The  house 
contains  1,200  square  feet  of  glass.  It 
will  require  about  350  square  feet  of 
radiation,  will  it  not?  There  is  a  raised 
bench  in  the  center  and  a  3-foot  bench 
at  each  side  wall.  The  hpuse  runs  north 
and  south  and  the  boiler  loom  is  at  the 
north  end. 

My  understanding  is  that  the  highest 
point  of  the  flow  may  be  either  over  the

with  the  flow,  or  flows,  would  be  ten 
2-inch  returns,  five  of  them  on  each  side 
wall,  under  the  benches.  Could  I  at- 
tach two  2-inch  flows  to  a  Wilks  boiler, 
24x48?  I  think  this  boiler  has  only 
one  outlet.  V.  K. — Kan. 


For  a  Wilks  boiler  we  would  use  a 
3-inch  flow  pipe,  running  it  about  two 
feet  below  the  ridge,  with  the  highest 
point  over  the  boiler.  A  slope  of  one 
inch  in  ten  feet  will  be  ample.  When 
a  boiler  with  two  flow  ports  is  used  we 
would,  for  a  house  of  the  stated  size 
and  width,  run  a  2% -inch  flow  pipe  upon 
each  plate  or  under  the  purlins.  While 
a  radiation  of  350  square  feet  is  not  too 
large  to  be  supplied  by  two  24nch  flow 
pipes,  the  number  of  returns  necessary 
will  make  it  advisable  to  use  two  2%- 
inch  flows,  unless  a  single  3-inch  flow 
is  used. 

From  the  amount  of  glass  stated,  we 
infer  that  there  must  be  about  thirty 
inches  of  glass  below  the  plates.  If  a 
minimum  temperature  of  55  degrees  is 
necessary  in  the  coldest  weather,  it  will 
be  advisable  to  use  350  square  feet  of 
radiation,  but  if  it  will  answer  if  the 
temperature  drops  to  50  degrees  in  the 
nights  when  it  drops  below  zero  out- 
side, 300  square  feet  of  radiation  will 
answer. 

Instead  of  running  the  returns  along 
the  side  walls  only,  we  would  drop  down 
two  21/' -inch  pipes  from  the  end  of  the 
3-inch  overhead  flow  pipe,  and  with 
each  of  them  feed  a  coil  of  five  2-inch 
flow  pipes  running  each  way  from  the 
middle  of  the  end  of  the  house  to  the 
corners,  and  then  along  the  side  walls, 
or  under  the  side  benches,  back  to  the 
boiler.  It  will  be  found  satisfactory  to 
use  li/l>-inch  returns  in  a  house  of  this 
length,  and  in  that  case  twelve  returns 
will  be  needed.

The  Florists^  Review 


August  16,  1917. 


BOCHESTEB,  N.  Y. 


The  Market. 

The  demand  for  flowers  was  small 
last  week,  there  being  no  counter  trade 
and  few  funerals.  At  the  same  time  the 
market  was"  heavily  loaded  with  season- 
able stock.  Gladioli  are  abundant  and 
sell  at  from  $1  to  $3  per  hundred.  Niag- 
ara, Mrs.  Francis  King  and  America  are 
in  greatest  demand,  but  other  good  va- 
rieties are  plentiful.  Outdoor  carna- 
tions are  in  the  market,  but  they  are  of 
poor  quality.  Good  quality  asters,  how- 
ever, are  taking  their  places.  Harrisii 
lilies  are  plentiful,  with  practically  no 
demand.  Good  sweet  peas  are  short  of 
the  demand.  Short-stemmed  stock  is 
plentiful.  Giant  zinnias  of  every  color 
are  plentiful.  Eubrum  and  auratum 
lilies  are  in  good  supply. 

Of  the  roses  Maryland  is  about  the 
only  one  of  good  quality.  Ophelia  is 
poor  and  Eussell  is  off  crop.  Yellow 
roses  are  of  poor  quality.  There  are  a 
few  good  dahlias.  Phloxes  and  snap- 
dragons are  plentiful.  Some  good  co- 
reopsis, gaillardias  and  achilleas  are 
seen.  Early  hardy  chrysanthemums  are 
making  their  appearance.  There  are 
quantities  of  other  seasonable  stock. 
Smilax  and  asparagus  are  plentiful. 

Various  Notes. 

Miss  Ethel  Foster  is  spending  two 
weeks'  vacation  with  relatives  at  Bead- 
ing, Pa. 

Harry  Merritt,  of  Irondequoit,  has 
his  carnations  benched.  He  is  cutting 
some  good  outdoor  stock. 

Hugo  Teute  is  growing  a  large  va- 
riety of  chrysanthemums  this  year  and 
says  they  look  exceptionally  good. 

A.  S.  Burns,  Jr.,  of  Spring  Valley, 
N.  Y.,  is  shipping  some  fine  rubrum  and 
Easter  lilies  to  this  market. 
^  H.  E.  Wilson  has  some  exceptionally 
fine  Niagara,  Mrs.  Francis  King  and 
America  gladioli,  which  find  a  ready 
sale. 

The  Eosery  Flower  Store  reports  that 
business  is  slack,  but  Paul  Campus,  its 
proprietor,  has  a  new  touring  car. 

Albert  Young,  of  H.  E.  Wilson's 
force,  is  spending  two  weeks  at  Atlan- 
tic City. 

Miss  Lillian  Wheeler  is  spending  a 
three  weeks'  vacation  with-  friends  in 
New  York  city  and  Atlantic  City.  Miss 
M.  Mullen  also  is  away  on  a  trip  to 
Canada. 

John  Orgar,  of  Irondequoit,  is  bring- 
ing some  early  hardy  chrysanthemums 
to  market.  His  asters,  especially  the 
purple  shades,  are  good.  H.  J.  H.

We  are  usually  too  busy  to  give 
testimonials,  but  most  of  us  like  to 
receive  commendation  for  our  goods, 
and  we  thought  you  would  not  ob- 
ject to  a  line  from  us  in  that  direc- 
tion. We  have  in  front  of  our  store 
a  large  marquee  with  a  wired  glass 
top.  The  latter  has  been  extremely 
dirty,  and  we  have  not  been  able  to 
clean  it  with  water.  It  occurred  to 
the  writer  to  have  our  Dorter  make 
an  application  of  Andersen  Daylite 
Glass  Cleaner,  and  it  is  almost  un- 
believable what  a  difference  there 
is!  The  glass  is  now  as  if  it  were 
new,  and  we  have  fully 
75  per  cent  more  light.

SAN  FRANCISCO  NOTES. 

[Oontinued  from  page  65.] 

reports  an  excellent  demand.  This  firm 
is  doing  its  bit  in  helping  along  the"  war 
cause,  having  donated  flowers  and  serv- 
ices to  a  benefit  for  the  Masonic  ambu- 
lance corps.  They  made  up  little  French 
bouquets,  corsages,  etc.,  to  sell  for  5  and 
10  cents,  and  took  in  nearly  $200.  For 
his  vacation  Mr.  Bertrand  planned  to 
go  on  a  Shriner  outing  in  the  Feather 
river  country. 

Julius  Eppstein,  proprietor  of  the 
flower  stand  in  the  St.  Francis  hotel, 
has  had  to  postpone  his  trip  east  on  ac- 
count of  a  broken  foot.  He  slipped  on 
the  stairs  and  threw  all  his  weight  on 
his  left  foot  in  order  to  keep  from  fall- 
ing. Not  realizing  that  he  had  broken 
one  of  the  small  bones,  he  walked 
around  the  rest  of  the  day  and  danced 
that  evening.  Next  day  the  broken 
bone  was  revealed  by  an  X-ray,  and  Mr. 
Eppstein  is  now  confined  to  his  room  in 
the  hotel  with  his  foot  in  a  cast.  He 
says  business  holds  up  well,  especially 
in  funeral  work. 

Francis  Schlotzhauer,  of  the  Francis 
Floral  Co.,  who  made  a  specialty  of  dec- 
orative work  in  New  York  city  before 
coming  to  San  Francisco,  is  beginning 
to  develop  that  side  of  his  business  here 
and  is  well  satisfied  with  the  results. 
He  has  done  many  wedding  decorations 
this  spring  and  summer  and  has  a  num- 
ber booked  for  the  early  fall. 

Pelicano,  Rossi  &  Co.  haye  been  mak- 
ing a  special  exhibit  of  Frank  Peli- 
cano's  new  decorative  dahlia,  Dr.  Harry 
L.  Tevis,  the  blooms  of  which  average 
from  nine  to  eleven  inches  in  diameter 
and  are  a  soft  salmon-rose,  shading  to 
an  apricot  center.  Mr.  Pelicano  is  bring- 
ing in  some  nice  tuberous  begonias.  A. 
J.  Eossi  is  still  at  Santa  Barbara. 

Mrs.  Charles  Gutting,  of  Los  An- 
geles, Cal.,  has  been  visiting  in  this  city. 

A.  M.  Meyer,  dahlia  grower  at  147 
Twenty-sixth  avenue,  San  Francisco, 
has  a  new  seedling  which  will  be  exhib- 
ited at  the  coming  dahlia  shows.  He 
was  awarded  seventy  points  on  it  at  the 
preliminary  show  at  the  Palace  hotel. 
It  has  a  splendid  color  and  a  fine,  strong 
stem.

DAVENPORT,  B.  ISLAND,  MOUNE. 


The  Market. 


Trade  was  quiet  last  week.  Boses  are 
good,  although  short  of  stem,  with  Beau- 
ties now  available.  Lilies  are  plentiful 
enough  to  supply  the  trade.  Gladioli 
are  of  fine  quality  and  numerous,  but 
asters  have  been  poor.  They  sell  fairly 
well,  however,  owing  to  the  shortage  of 
other  flowers.  As  a  whole,  flowers  are 
scarce,  a  condition  attributed  to  the  dry 
weather. 

Club  Meeting. 

The  members  of  the  Tri-City  Florists  * 
Club  left  Davenport,  Thursday,  August 
9,  in  a  special  car  for  Muscatine,  on 
the  invitation  of  Emil  Kranz.  There 
We're  thirty-six  members  in  the  party, 
and  it  proved  to  be  the  most  enjoyable 
trip  ever  taken  by  the  club.  Upon  ar- 
rival at  Muscatine  the  party  was  met' 
by  Mr.  Kranz  and  Mayor  E.  C.  McNutt, 
who  had  automobiles  waiting,  and  was 
taken  for  a  tour  of  the  Island,  visiting 
the  waterworks,  greenhouses  and  other 
points  of  interest.  On  the  return  to  the 
German  Club  house,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Kranz 
invited  the  members  of  the  club  to  par- 
take of  supper.  C.  O.  E.  Boehm  acted 
as  toastmaster  of  the  evening  and  intro- 
duced the  various  speakers  with  suitable 
remarks.  Mayor  McNutt  was  the  first 
speaker  and  gave  an  address  of  wel- 
come. He  was  presented  with  a  huge 
bouquet  of  gladioli  from  the  Butter- 
worth  Gardens,  of  Moline,  by  Arvid 
Anderson,  president  of  the  society,  who 
was  the  next  speaker.  He  was  followed 
by  Ludwig  Stapp,  Emil  Kranz,  William 
Knees,  William  Goos  and  C.  J.  Reardon. 

A  vote  of  thanks  was  given  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Emil  Kranz  for  the  splendid  sup- 
per and  the  good  time.  After  the  din- 
ner, music  and  dancing  were  indulged 
in,  and  were  followed  by  a  few  selec- 
tions by  a  society  of  twenty  singers 
and  a  whistling  solo  by  one  of  its  mem- 
bers. 

A  short  business  meeting  was  held 
and  the  party  left  for  home  at  10 
o'clock,  sorry  to  leave  so  soon. 

Various  Notes. 

James  Hanssen,  of  Staack's  force,

The  Market. 

Business  during  the  first  part  of  Au- 
gust has  been  exceptionally  good.  There 
has  been  a  good  supply  of  stock  and  the 
call  for  it  has  been  fairly  active.  Eoses 
have  improved  in  quality,  and  since  the 
weather  has  been  cooler  there  has  been 
a  better  demand  for  them.  Asters  are 
abundant  and  are  of  better  quality. 
The  supply  of  gladioli  has  decreased,  as 
has  the  quantity  of  lilies,  with  the  ex- 
ception of  rubrums,  which  are  plentiful. 

Snapdragons,  which  have  been  abun- 
dant and  of  good  quality,  now  are  in 
smaller  supply  and  are  not  so  good.  Cut 
hydrangeas  are  popular,  especially  for 
funeral  work.  Statice  latifolia  also  is 
in  demand  for  this  class  of  work,  which 
has  been  unusually  heavy.  Smilax  is 
more  plentiful,  plumosus  is  in  fair  sup- 
ply and  fancy  flat  ferns  are  especially 
good.  Various  Notes. 

Charles  M.  Balluff,  of  A.  Wiegand's 
Sons  Co.,  has  returned  from  a  month's 
vacation  spent  at  Fox  Lake,  111. 

Albert  Kempe  has  been  cutting  some 
excellent  smilax. 

Henry  Eisner  has  returned  from  St. 
Louis,  Mo.,  where  he  went  to  take  his 
physical  examination  for  the  army,  and 
is  visiting  his  parents  for  a  few  days. 

The  Hensley  Flower  Shop  had  several 
out-of-town  weddings  last  week. 

Banquets  to  the  new  oflBcers  of  the 
army  who  received  their  commissions 
at  Fort  Benjamin  Harrison  brought 
considerable  work  to  the  florists.  Ber- 
termann  Bros.  Co.,  the  Claypool  Florist 
and  the  Circle  Flower  Store  all  had 
decorations  last  week. 

Frank  Ball  has  gone  to  Cincinnati, 
where  he  has  taken  a  position.

SPRAYER    NOZZLE 

Gentlemen:— Some  time  ago  I  got  some  snray  nozzles  and  cannot  remember  just  where  I  fot  them.  There 
is  no  name  on  them,  but  they  are  very  fine  things  and  I  want  some  more.  I  am  under  tne  imoression  that 
they  came  from  you.  If  not,  probably  you  can  put  me  next,  as  I  think  they  came  from  Pittsburgh.  The  noz-

The  quality  is  exceptionally  good  this  season  and  the  ad- 
vantages of  buying  direct  from  a  large  grower  where  the 
flowers  are  cut,  graded  and  kept  chilled  until  the  customer 
receives  them,  together  with  prices  no  higher  than  others 
charge,  make  our  stock  a  very  attractive  proposition  for

Six  Splendid  Australian  Varieties 

CONCORD  Spencer  types 

The  Concord  Varieties  of  Winter-flowering 
Spencer  Sweet  Peas  are  perhaps  the  most 
advanced  and  finest  of  all.  The  colors  are 
distinct,  clear  and  true.  They  flower  earlier 
than  any  other  type,  and  the  blossoms  are 
of  large  Spencer  form,  with  long  stems. 
Unfortunately  they  are  shy  seeders  and. 
therefore,  the  seed  is  scarce  and  expensive 
We  are  obliged  to  offer  in  packets  only 
this  year.  

Prices,  any  of  the  following: 

Pkt.  (50  seeds).  40c;  5  pkts.,  $1.75. 

Concord  Pink,  beautiful  delicate  pink. 
Concord  Crimson,  fine  ruby  red. 
Concord  Lavender,  light  lavender  blue. 
Concord  White,  large,  pure  white. 
Concord  Salmon,  soft  salmon  pink. 
Concord  Blue,  dark  purple  blue. 


We  have  on  hand  fresh  seed  of  Giant  Flowered  Cyclamen  in  all  popular  colors, 
also  Primula,  Cineraria,  Calceolaria;  Perennial  Flower  Seeds  for  summer  sow-

SIN'S  HYBRID  YELLOW  POLYANTHUS 


Tl'a'is  is  one  of  my  houses.  20.x:?00  feel,  of  National  Flower  Show  Gold  Medal  Polyanthus. 
These  ha\e  been  in  bloom  constantly  since  November. 


I  had  two  houses  of  Giant  Yellow 
Polyanthus  in  full  crop  at  Kaster. 
A  Review  correspondent  saw  them 
March  31st  and  wrote: 

"They  include  some  beautiful  varieties, 
which  are  beitiK  carefully  marked  and 
saved  for  propagation.  One  bed  :'.00  feet 
long,  of  a  pale  jellow  polyanthus,  true  to 
type  iu  every  plant,  was  particularly 
tine.  1  measured  individual  llowers  two 
inches  in  diameter  and  many  of  the  stalks 
stood  eighteen  inches  high.  Two  houses, 
each  300  feet  long,  are  devoted  to  this 
crop,  and  a  glorious  sight  they  are." 

But  the  best  of  it  is  they  had  a 
glorious  sale.  You  can  do  as  well 
next^season  if  you  order  your  stock 
now.

How  mechanical  bracing 
restores  strength  to  decayed  trees 


THE  internal  woody  tissue  of  the  tree 
has  the  same  fiiuclion  as  the  liones  in 
tlie  human  body  —  structural  support. 

When  this  has  been  destroyed  l>y  decay, 
Nature  is  helpless  to  restore  it  and  the 
tree,  if  neglected,  u  ill  soon  succumb  to  the 
force  of  the  winds,  and  im  treatment  can 

perinaiiPnt l.v  sa\c  it  unless  that  treat  iiient  .siiu-

The  Florists^  Review 


August  23,  1917. 


Bronx  park  is  itself  an  attraction  to 
trade  visitors,  and  plantings  there  must 
be  splendid  advertising  to  reach  the  pub- 
lic, but  for  an  impression  on  those  who 
attend  the  convention  it  has  not  since 
been  possible  to  duplicate  the  location 
and  success  which  attended  Theodore 
Wirth's  work  at  Minneapolis,  Next 
year,  at  St.  Louis,  with  the  convention 
in  April,  there  can  be  no  garden,  except 
the  indoor  ones  at  the  National  Flower 
Show,  so  two  years  will  be  given  for  the 
development  of  the  next  outdoor  garden, 
which  probably  will  determine  the 
future  of  that  undertaking. 

The  Talk  of  the  Trade. 

The  talk  in  the  Palace  and  wher- 
ever florists  gather  is,  first  of  all,  of  the 
success  of  the  convention — it  seems  to 
have  exceeded  expectations.  It  has  be- 
come common  knowledge  that  there  was 
discussion  as  to  the  advisability  of 
canceling  the  convention  itself  for  this 
year,  as  well  as  cutting  out  the  enter- 
tainment program,  and  that  the  deciding 
factor  probably  was  the  lease  of  the 
Palace.  With  this  fact  in  mind,  the 
consensus  is  that  the  convention  is  bet- 
ter than  was  hoped,  in  attendance,  in 
trades'  display  and  in  every  other  fea- 
ture, for  certainly  no  one  who  foresaw 
this  week's  accomplishments  would 
have  suggested  abandoning  the  meet- 
ing. It  might  have  been  considerably 
larger  had  the  United  St|k|je^  stayed  out 
of  the  war,  but  the  cbnventiQO.  im- 
presses everyone  as  bcitter  than  some 
others  that  have  been  called  thoroughly 
successful. 

It  seems  to  be  taken  for  granted  that 
business  since  Easter  has  not  been  up  to 
previous  expectations;  there  are  excep- 
tions, of  course,  but  in  most  cases  the 
edge  has  been  off.  Apparently  this 
country's  entering  the  war  has  dis- 
turbed the  florists'  business  in  the  east 
much  more  than  in  the  west;  in  the 
cities  much  more  than  in  the  towns  and 
country;  in  the  stores  patronized  by 
those  who  spend  incomes  much  more 
than  in  tliose  that  cater  to  the  people 
who  spend  wages.  The  country  florist 
already  has  the  benefit  of  high  prices 
for  produce,  but  the  city  florist  has  not 
yet  felt  the  stimulus  of  the  govern- 
ment 's  expenditure  of  fabulous  sums. 

The  attitude  indicated  by  the  major- 
ity is  one  of  waiting,  waiting  for  some- 
thing to  start  the  business  ball  rolling 
for  the  trade.  There  is  no  doubt  that 
retail  business  will  be  good,  perhaps  ex- 
cellent. The  growers,  selling  at  whole- 
sale, are  less  sanguine;  they  fear  the 
shortage  of  labor  and  the  rising  cost  of 
conducting  the  business.  Nearly  all 
now  arc  convinced  that  it  is  necessary 
to  buy  coal  when  and  wlure  it  can  be 
had,  witliout  waiting  longer  in  the  hope 
of  lower  ])rifcs. 

The  Convention  Program. 

Tiie  set  })r()gram  for  the  convention 
is  much  shorter  than  usual.  That  of 
the  S.  A.  V.  itself  covers  only  three 
days  instead  of  four,  but  the  American 
Gladiolus  Society  has  claimed  the 
fourtli  liay,  usually  given  to  the  outing. 
There  arc  no  evening  sessions,  only  the 
president's  reception,  so  that  plenty  of 
time  is  given  for  the  trades'  display, 
for  the  points  of  trade  interest  and  for 
absorbing  enthusiasm  from  rubbing  el- 
bows with  the  people  of  the  most  won- 
derful  city  in  America. 

The  program  by  days  shapes  up  in 
this  way:

FRIDAY,   AUGUST  24. 

2:00  p.  m.     Annual    meeting    American    Gladio- 
lui    Society,     Museum     building, 
^  bIIIdx  parl£. 

The  program  was  barren  of  essays, 
set  speeches  and  the  things  that  fail 
to  hold  the  crowd;  it  was  planned  with 
the  idea  of  getting  full,  free  and  un- 
hurried discussion  of  the  problems 
which  confront  the  society  and  the 
trade.     In  that  it  succeeded. 

Business  Is  Begun. 

It  was  a  hot  day  when  the  convention 
assembled,  and  a  pneumatic  riveting 
machine  on  a  new  building  adjoining 
the  Grand  Central  Palace  was  indefat- 
igable, so  that  the  150  to  200  members 
and  ladies  who  were  present  when  the 
meeting  was  called  to  order  by  Presi- 
dent Stumpp  of  the  New  York  Florists' 
Club  found  the  routine  proceedings  s(|s- 
sion  less  attractive  than  otherwise 
would  have  been  the  case.  It  is  a  pity 
that  so  much  dry  routine  must  be  dis- 
patched at  the  opening  session,  for  the 
attendance  then  always  is  larger  than 
at  any  subsequent  time. 

There  were  ten  ex-presidents  ou  the 
platform  at  the  opening  session. 

President  Stumpp  spoke  a  few  words 
of  greeting  and  introduced  A.  L.  Miller, 
vice-president  of  the  S.  A.  F.,  to  present 
the  welcome  of  the  local  organization. 
He  was  followed  by  a  representative  of 
the  municipal  administration,  who  pre- 
sented the  keys  to  the  city  in  time-hon- 
ored style.  But  the  speaker  made  a 
place  for  himself  in  the  regard  of  the 
society  when  he  declared  that  flowers 
are  not  a  luxury,  but  a  necessity,  meet- 
ing a  need  of  the  people  on  the  finer 
side  of  life.  He  added  that  during  the 
last  few  years  the  city  government  has 
spent  a  million  dollars  in  fostering 
among  the  masses  an  appreciation  of 
flowers. 

Robert  Craig,  of  Philadelphia,  re- 
sponded, saying,  among  other  things, 
that  the  trade  has  been  too  modest  and 
lias  not  claimed  its  proper  ])lace  in  the 
business  world;  that  we  now  are  in  a 
])osition  to  assert  our  standing  as  one 
of  the  large  and  necessary  interests  of 
the  country.  He  predicted  continued 
jirogress. 

President  Kerr,  on  taking  the  chair, 
read  his  annual  address,  which  appears 
in  full  in  this  issue  of  The  Review.  It 
was  referred  to   the  special  committee. 

Because  of  the  heat  and  noise,  the 
reading  of  the  minutes  of  the  directors' 
March  meeting,  the  reports  of  state 
vice-presidents  and  the  secretary's 
financial  statement  were  omitted,  the 
documents  })eing  ordered  printed.  The 
secretary 's  reporl  and  the  treasurer's 
report  were  read  and  accepte<l. 

W.  V.  Gudc,  of  Washington,  pre- 
sented   the   rej)orts   of    the   Washington 


representative,  the  committee  on  tariff 
and  legislation  and  the  committee  on 
the  Smith  memorial,  which  appear  else- 
where in  this  issue. 

Appropriation  for  Nomenclature. 

Prof.  E.  A.  White,  of  Ithaca,  pre- 
sented the  report  of  the  committee  on 
nomenclature,  telling  of  the  work  that 
has  been  done  to  standardize  plant 
names  by  other  horticultural  bodies 
working  under  the  name  of  American 
Joint  Committee  on  Horticultural  No- 
menclature. He  asked  that  an  appro- 
priation of  $300  be  made  for  the  use 
of  this  joint  committee  and  that  the 
S.  A,  F.  thus  indorse  its  action.  The 
motion  was  carried  without  discussion. 

Benjamin  Hammond  presented  the 
report  of  the  school  garden  committee. 

Charles  W.  Ward  sent  word  from  Cal- 
ifornia that  he  would  have  a  report  for 
the  committee  on  the  development  of 
American  products  and  asked  the  privi- 
lege of  having  it  printed  ^h  the  pro- 
ceedings if  not  received  in  time  to  be 
read  at   the  convention. 

President's  Appointments. 

President  Kerr  appointed  the  follow- 
ing committees: 

FINAL    RESOLUTIONS. 

Patrick  Welch,   Boston. 
George   Asmus,    Chicago. 
0.    E.    Critchell,    Cincinnati. 
H.   P.  Knoble,   Cleveland. 
Joseph  Heacock,   Wyncote,  Pa. 

RESOLUTIONS    OF    RESPECT    TO    MEMBERS 
WHO  HAVE   DIED  SINCE   LAST   YEAR. 

J.   G.  Esler,  Saddle  River,   N.  .T. 

M.  Barker,  Chicago. 

J.   A.  Peterson,   Cincinnati. 

Detroit  in  1919. 

It  was  already  determined  that  next 
year's  convention  is  to  be  held  at  St. 
Louis,  in  April,  during  the  National 
Flower  Show,  but  the  1919  meeting 
place  had  to  be  selected,  the  by-laws 
now  requiring  that  the  selection  be 
made  two  years  in  advance.  As  no 
invitations  were  received,  George  As- 
mus moved  that  the  society  invite  itself 
to  Detroit  two  years  hence  and  enter- 
tain itself  there.  It  was  carried  unani- 
mously. 

As  the  meeting  was  about  to  adjourn, 
.7.  F.  Ammann,  of  Edwardsville,  111., 
pointed  to  the  flags  above  the  platform 
and  suggested  that  the  .society  sing 
"America,"  after  which  W.  F.  Gude 
moved  that  the  organization  go  on  rec- 
ord in  a  telegram   as  follows: 

To  His   Excellency   Woodrow   Wilson, 

President  of   the   United   States, 
Washington,  D.  C. : 

The  Society  of  American  Florists.  In  thirty- 
third  annual  convention  assembled  at  New  York, 
transmits  to  you  Its  resolution  by  unanimous 
vote  expressing  its  confidence  in  you  as  the  na- 
tion's head  in  tliis  hour  of  deciding  conflict  for 
freedom,  democracy  and  rule  of  the  people,  by 
tlie  people,  for  the  people,  pledging  you  the  loyal 
support  of  its  entire  membership  to  this  end. 

The  telegram  was  signed  for  the  so- 
ciety by  R.  C.  Kerr,  president,  and  John 
Young,   secretary. 

Society  Safe  for  Democracy. 

Once  more  the  attempt  ' '  to  take  the 
secretary's  oflice  out  of  trade  politics" 
has  failed.  It  no  doubt  is  true  that  the 
present  form  of  society  government, 
with  most  of  the  responsibility  put  upon 
the  board  of  directors,  in  theory  calls 
for  making  the  secretary  an  appointed 
officer,  named  by  and  responsible  to  the 
board,  but  the  idea  does  not  appeal  to 
a  majority  of  the  members.  Several 
times  amendments  to  the  constitution  to 
effect    this    change    have   been    brought 


AUGUST  23,  1917. 


The  Florists^  Review

up  and  voted  down.    It  occurred  again 
this  week  at  New  York, 

The  program  called  for  the  discus- 
sion of  the  amendment  at  the  opening 
session,  with  a  vote  by  ballot  during 
the  evening.  George  Asmus  advocated 
the  change,  but  all  the  others  opposed 
it,  among  them  W.  A.  Manda,  Max 
Schling,  J.  T.  D.  Fulmer  and  Patrick 
O'Mara.  When  the  ballots  were  count- 
ed the  vote  stood  forty-seven  for  mak- 
ing the  secretary  an  appointed  clerk 
and  ninety-four  for  continuing  him  as 
an  oflftcer  elected  by  the  members. 

President's  Beception. 

One  of  the  novel  features  of  this 
convention  was  the  holding  of  the  an- 
nual president's  reception  in  the  same 
room  in  which  the  trade's  display  is 
staged.  One  end  of  this  great  building 
was  swept  clear  for  the  purpose,  and 
the  juxtaposition  added  much  to  the 
interest   of   the    affair. 

President  Stumpp,  of  the  local  club, 
President  Kerr,  Vice-president  Miller, 
Treasurer  Hess  and  several  ladies  -were 
in  the  line  and  greeted  each  visitor, 
after  which  refreshments  were  served, 
and  there  were  music  and  dancing.  It 
was  purely  informal. 

Nomination  of  Officers. 

Seldom,  if  ever,  has  the  S.  A.  F.  held 
a  more  interesting  session  than  the  one 
on  the  morning  of  August  22.  The 
weather  was  cooler,  the  meeting  place 
had  been  changed  to  the  other  side  of 
the  Grand  Central  Palace  to  avoid  the 
outside  noise  that  had  given  trouble  at 
the  earlier  session,  and  the  attendance 
was  undoubtedly  the  largest  that  ever 
has  been  known  at  a  second  day 's  meet- 
ing. Oratory  was  in  order,  and  in  nom- 
inating officers  eulogy  of  candidates 
was  mixed  with  just  enough  plain  talk 
to  indicate  that  the  election  contest 
will  be  one  of  the  closest  in  the  history 
of  the  society  and  will  keep  the  inter- 
est alive  to  the  end. 

For  president,  Charles  H.  Totty,  of 
Madison,  N.  J.,  was  nominated  by 
W.  F.  Gude,  seconded  by  F.  E.  Pierson, 
Robert  Craig,  E.  G.  Hill,  Patrick  Welch 
and  Otto  Lang.  A.  L.  Miller,  of  Ja- 
maica, N.  Y.,  was  nominated  by  James 
McHutchison,  W.  E.  Pierson  and  Anton 
Schultheis. 

For  vice-president,  Jules  Bourdet,  of 
St.  Louis,  was  nominated  by  Frank 
Gorly,  on  behalf  of  the  St.  Louis  Flo- 
rists' Club. 

For  secretary,  John  Young,  of  New 
York,  was  nominated  amid  much  ap- 
plause. 

For  treasurer,  J.  J.  Hess,  of  Omaha, 
was  nominated  and  seconded  by  J.  T.  D. 
Fulmer. 

For  directors,  Joseph  Manda,  of 
South  Orange,  N.  J.,  was  nominated  by 
George  Asmus,  and  C.  E.  Critchell,  of 
Cincinnati,  was  nominated  by  Patrick 
Welch,  two  to  be  elected. 

Wind  Storm  Insurance. 

The  special  committee  consisting  of 
A.  Easmussen,  E.  G.  Hill  and  J.  F. 
Ammann,  appointed  to  investigate  the 
subject  of  wind  storm  insurance,  pre- 
sented the  following  report: 

Inasmuch  as  the  State  Florists'  Asso- 
ciation of  Indiana  is  working  to  form  a 
mutual  company  among  the  florists  and 
greenhousemen  of  the  United  States  for 
protection  against  damage  from  wind 
and  hail,  to  be  known  as  the  Florists' 
Mutual  Casualty  Association,  Inc.,  and 


Jules  Bourdet. 

(Vk-e-|)ie8l(lent-el('Ct  Sot-lety  of  Anioricaii  Florists. J 


in  view  of  the  fact  that  this  committee 
has  not  suflBcient  data  on  the  progress 
or  plan  of  this  proposed  movement  at 
this  time  to  recommend  an  indorsement 
of  it  by  the  S.  A.  F.,  your  committee 
would  recommend  that  a  committee  be 
appointed  to  investigate  the  Indiana 
project  and  to  report  to  the  board  of 
directors  at  their  next  regular  meeting, 
said  committee  to  be  made  up  of  men 
not  officially  connected  with  the  Flo- 
rists' Hail  Association,  or  with  the 
movement   started  in  Indiana. 

In  order  to  give  all  sections  of  the 
country  representation,  we  suggest  that 
committeemen  be  appointed  accord- 
ingly, and  their  traveling  expenses  be 
paid  by  the  S.  A.  F.  We  further  recom- 
mend that  this  committee,  in  conjunc- 
tion with  the  board  of  directors,  be 
given  authority  to  indorse  the  Florists' 
Mutual  Casualty  Association,  should  it 
deem  it  worthy  of  the  support  of  the 
S.  A.  F. 

Mr.  Easmussen  then  reported  indi- 
vidually on  the  progress  of  the  move- 
ment in  Indiana,  most  of  the  details  of 
which  are  familiar  to  readers  of  The 
Eeview,  after  which  the  report  of  the 
committee  was  unanimously  adopted. 

Publicity  and  Prosperity. 

The  afternoon  session  of  August  22 
was  devoted  to  the  discussion  of  pub- 
licity and  prosperity.  The  subject  of 
publicity  was  introduced  by  W.  F. 
Therkildson,  chairman  of  the  standing 
committee  of  that  subject,  and  the  re- 
lated topic  of  the  state  of  business  and 
the  prospect  for  continued  prosperity 
was  brought  up  by  Robert  Craig,  to 
whom   had  been   assigned  the   duty   of 


giving  a  view  of  the  future.  Prac- 
tically everyone  who  spoke  was  highly 
optimistic  as  to  the  business  outlook 
for  the  approaching  season. 

$50,000  for  PubUcity. 

W.  F.  Therkildson  presented  a  com- 
plete plan  for  a  campaign  of  national 
publicity  for  flowers,  with  details 
worked  out  to  show  a  cost  of  $50,000. 
It  looked  so  good  that  the  committee 
was  authorized  to  raise  the  funds  and 
put  the  plan  into  operation.  Joseph 
Heacock  headed  the  subscription  list 
with  $500,  and  in  a  few  minutes  and 
with  great  enthusiasm  about  $(5,000  of 
the  money  was  raised,  to  which  the 
S.  A.  F.  will  subscribe  $5,000  from  its 
treasury.  It  was  the  general  opinion 
that  it  was  the  most  important  step  the 
organization  ever  took. 


THE  HAIL  ASSOCIATION. 

The  Florists'  Hail  Association  held 
a  highly  important  meeting  at  Newark, 
N.  J.,  August  20.  By  putting  it  the 
day  before  the  S.  A.  F.  convention  it 
was  hoped  to  secure  a  fairly  large  at- 
tendance, but  only  about  a  dozen  of 
the  1,621  members  were  present.  All 
the  officers  and  four  directors  were 
there. 

The  chief  business  was  in  connection 
with  renewing  the  charter  of  the  or- 
ganization under  the  laws  of  New  Jer- 
sey. All  the  formalities  have  been  com- 
plied with,  so  that  the  legal  life  of  the 
organization,  formed  in  1887,  is  ex- 
tended another  thirty  years.  New  by- 
laws, drafted  by  J.  A.  Valentine,  were 
adopted     with     minor     amendment,     so

THE  TRADES'   DISPLAY  AT  NEW  YORK 


^W^f^^?^^^^?i^^?^^w?^^:^;^??i^^?i^^ 


Til  \]  (■uiiililidiis  ]ia\t'  lircii  s(i  iin- 
usunl  tills  year  that  Sfcrt'tarv 
^'^un.^.  as  iiiana^itT  el'  tin'  traiics'  dis- 
|ilav,  has  had  a  iiKiri'  dif'ticiilt  task  than 
i'\iT  hrfdit'.  l*]xliihit(iis  have  licrii  slow 
t(i  make  ii|i  their  minds  and  many  of 
thiui  ha\t'  increased  or  doereast'd  tlieir 
s|iac('s  durinj;-  the  last  days  before  stajj;- 
in;^.  l)ut(di  l>uli)s  not  Ixdnj;  available 
as  hail  been  hoped  was  one  of  tlie  jtriii- 
(•i|iai  reasons  for  tiiis  and  the  seeds- 
men 's  displays  are  smaller  than  hereto- 
fore at  eastern  conx cntions,  bein>;  lim- 
ited to  a  few  Frencii  bnil>s,  Jlarrisii 
lilies  and  e(dil  storage  giganteiims.  The 
supply  liouses  have  taken  full  advan- 
ta.nc  of  tiie  o])portnnity.  It  really  is  the 
tirst  good  elianee  they  have  had  in  four 
years,  as  their  imjiorls  did  not  arrive 
for  the  Boston  convention  in  1!»14  and 
the  W)!'^  and  1!U(5  meetings  were  too 
far  awav  from  the  big  supi)ly  centers 
to  ]ierniit  a  full  showing.  Xow,  how- 
ever, tlie  su|)idy  houses  have  developed 
American  manufacture  to  a  point  never 
attained  with  foreign  goods  and  their 
<lisplays  arc  the  strong  feature  of  the 
convention  exhibition.  The  plantsmen, 
too,  make  splendid  displays,  some  of 
them  large  in  size  and  all  of  them  of 
splendiil  <piality.  Considering  that  this 
is  commeiiial  stock,  it  is  open  to  (pies- 
tiou  if  su(li  uuit'ormly  good  stutT  has 
lieen  seiMi  at  any  ]irevious  convention. 
Tlie  greenhouse  builders  also  have  come 
to  the  front  with  large  and  comprehen- 
sive exhibits. 

There  are  an  even  half-hundred  trade 
exhibitors.  The  total  sj.ace  used  is 
4,(1(10  square  feet.  Com])arisons  some- 
times ;ire  said  to  be  odious,  but  the  man 
who  could  not  see  it  for  himself  per- 
haps will  get  a  (dearer  idea  if  he  is 
t(dd  that  this  is  a  little  less  than  the 
space  sold  f(M-  the  trades'  <lisplay  at  the 
Boston  convention  and  a  little  more  than 
h.-ilf  what  was  s(dd  in  the  Chicago  C(di- 
seum   I'or  the   record   coii\entinn   (d'  1!(12. 

On  the  whole  it  is  a  large,  cdniiirehen- 
si\c  ;iiid  widl  staged  exhildt imi.  Those 
wlm   ha\t'   di>id;iys  are: 

American   Greenhouse   Mfg.    Co.,

'I"hi-  disiday  consists  of  liaskets,  vases 
;iiid  lunl  cages  in  considerable  \ariety, 
in    chartze   of   Charle«   Falkenheim. 

H.    Bayersdorfer    &    Co.,    Philadelphia. 

There  is  iiractically  a  <-omidete  stock 
of  llorists'  supplies  in  this  space  of  H()() 
scpiare  feet  of  floor  with  two  walls,  the 
latter  covered  with  wreaths.  The 
stront:  leader  is  the  red,  wliite  and  blue 


line  ol'  \ases  an<l  plant  boxes,  which  is 
said  to  have  had  perhaps  the  largest 
sale  of  any  specialty  the  house  ever  has 
jiut  out.  Quite  different  in  character, 
but  also  a  big  seller,  is  the  crcton  line, 
a  variety  of  baskets  and  vases  the 
bodies  of  which  are  covered  with  va- 
rious colored  cretoiis.  Something  en- 
tirely new  is  a  line  of  baskets  made  of 
cornstalks;  these  are  said  to  have  been 
a  great  liit  with  the  florist  wlio  hereto- 
fore has  had  the  exclusive  sale.  The 
exhibit  is  in  charge  of  S.  H.  Bayers- 
dorfer, I,  15ayersdorfer,  8.  D.  Green, 
.F(din  Welsh  and  Robert  Collum. 

Bobbink   &    Atkins,   Rutherford,    N.    J. 

There  are  four  fine  big  bays  at  the 
corners  of  this  group,  which  includes 
Draca'iia  indivisa,  ferns  in  variety, 
Ficus  elastica  and  otlier  jiot  plants  for 
retail  .stores.  Leo  Oesternei  is  in 
(diig-ge. 

Chicago  Feed  &  Fertilizer  Co. 

The  display  included  large  glass 
globes,  etc.,  tilled  with  samples  of  the 
exhibitor's  full  line  of  commercial  fer- 
tilizers. The  souvenir  was  a  record 
book  for  the  use  of  growers.  There 
were  feeding  eh.arts  and  other  litera- 
ture.    H.  E.  llumiston  was  in  charge. 

John  Lewis   Cliilds,   Flowerfield,  N.   Y. 

The  j)rinuilinus  hybrids  are  featured 
in  this  dis|d;iy  of  cut  gladiolus  Idooms, 
hut  it  also  cont.ains  many  (d'  the  Childsii 
ty|>e.  There  are  about  thirty-five  va- 
rieties in  the  collection,  a  commercial 
sidection.  1.  S.  H(>ndri(d<son  is  in 
ch.arge,  assisted  liy  Carleton  Childs,  son 
of  Jolin  Lewis  Childs,  who  this  year  is 
forming  his  first  business  actpiaintance 
with    gla<ii(di. 

Robt.  Craig  Co.,  Philadelphia. 

This  is  a  disjilay  of'  ])lants  of  more 
than  ordinary  (diar.acter.  It  contains 
crotons  of  12."  Aurieties,  several  ])ieces 
l>{  each  of  m;iny  id"  them,  incduding 
some  Large  jdants.  But  the  number  and 
ipiality  (d'  the  ]ilaiits  are  not  nuir(^  nota- 
I'h'  th.an  is  the  fact  that  nearly  all  ari' 
seedlings  r.aised  in  the;  Craig  green 
houses.  The  Norwood  fern,  another 
Cr.aig  novelty,  also  is  shown  in  quan- 
tity, in  from  biiich  to  (bincli  ]>ots.  Some- 
thing new  to  nmst  of  the  visit<irs  is  a 
\;niegatetl  piiieai'ple  in  fruit.  OtluM-

Mrs.  R.  E.  Darbee,  San  Francisco. 

This  w;is  a  disjiLay  of  cut  asters  aTid 
everlastifigs,  the  asters  in  several  va- 
rieties being  in  surprisingly  fine  shape 
considering  thtdr  journey  across  the 
continent.      In  charge  was  C.  H.  (ioocli. 


Henry  A.  Dreer,  Inc.,  Philadelphia. 

This  was  a  large  exhibit  of  sta[)le 
jdants  for  retail  stores  and  young  stock 
for  growing  on.  I'erhaps  the  most  note- 
worthy feature  was  the  collection  of 
crotons  in  many  varieties  and  sizes;  it 
imdoubtedly  was  the  best  lot  of  crotons 
tliis  exhibitor  ever  has  sent  to  a  conven- 
tion. The  disjilay  of  palms  included  a 
comjilete  line  of  sizes,  a  notable  point 
in  view  of  the  impossibility  of  import- 
ing during  the  last  season.  The  ferns 
were  Hcottii  and  Teddy,  Junior,  unless 
we  include  Cyrtoniium  Kochfordianum 
compactum,  Asplenium  Nidus-avis  and 
Adiantum  gloriosum,  whi(di  latter  is 
said  to  be  a  sjiecially  pojuilar  Christmas 
])lant  with  New  York  retailers.  There 
also  were  ferns  for  dishes,  small  dra- 
ca'uas  in  many  fancy  varieties  and  the 
usual  display  of  Cocos  Weddelliana, 
glazing  jioints,  etc.  .1.  J.  Karins  and 
J.  J.  Cloudy  were  in  charge. 

Fritz  Dressel,  Weehawken,  N.  J. 

I'resident  Wilson  is  tlie  name  of  the 
new  nephrolepis  staged  by  this  exhib-

various  sizes.  It  is  a  sjiort  of  Teddy, 
.funior,  and  has  received  the  certificate 
of  the  New  York  i'lorists'  Club  and  of 
the  International  Flower  Show.  It  will 
be  distributed  next  year.  The  orig-

department  to  handle  the  business  of 
seedsmen  and  florists.  The  display  con- 
sists of  bags  of  nitrate  of  soda,  ground 
tankage  and  ground  steamed  bone. 
Harry  A.  Bunyard,  manager  of  the  new 
department,  is   in   charge. 

S.  S.  Pennock  Co.,  Philadelphia. 

This  exhibitor  has  three  tables,  one 
displaying  baskets,  vases  and  plant 
boxes  in  variety,  but  featuring  an  ivory 
finish;  the  other  two  carrying  a  large 
line  of  ribbons,  chiflfons,  corsage  ties, 
pins,  etc.  The  better  quality  of  ribbons 
only  are  shown,  the  belief  of  the  house 
being  that  permanent  business  can  be 
based  on  nothing  else.  PI  J.  Fancourt 
and   Robert  (Jreenlaw  are  in  charge. 

J.  A.  Peterson  &  Sons,  Cincinnati. 

A  table  of  plants,  ".just  to  sliow  tlicm 
that  we  are  still  in  the  business,"  as 
J.  A.  Peterson  put  it.  There  were  fairly 
large  plants  of  As])lenium  Nidus-avis 
and  pandanus,  ])ut  the  cyclamens  and 
begonias  of  course  were  i)lants  for 
growing  on.  The  begonias  were  of  the 
exhibitor's  own  origination  and  dis- 
semination, including  (Mnciniiati,  Me- 
lior  and  Mrs.  J.  A.  Peterson.  Mr.  Pe- 
terson thinks  his  fame  as  a  begonia 
raiser  eventually  will  rest  on  Melior. 
He  has  jiractically  discontinued  grow- 
ing Adiantuni  Farleyense,  long  one  of 
his    specialties. 

A.    N.   Pierson,    Inc.,    Cromwell,    Conn. 

This  display  represents  only  the  i)ot 
I)lant  department  of  the  business.  There 
are  araucarias,  kentias,  pandanus.  Pho*- 
nix  Roebelenii,  nephrolepis  in  variety, 
some  excellent  large  adiantums  and 
other  stock  of  similar  character.  H.  C. 
Neubrand  is  in   charge. 

F.  B.  Pierson  Co.,  Tarrytown,  N.  Y. 

This  exhibit  is  one  with  which  most 
S.  A.  F.  members  are  acquainted,  as  it 
has  been  staged  all  over  the  country — 


an  almost  complete  line  of  nephrolepis 
varieties.  This  year  there  are  two  new 
ones,  shown  for  the  first  time  and  not 
yet  named.  There  are  a  few  rose  plants, 
but  no  bulbs  this  year.  J.  R.  Fother- 
ingham  and  Theodore  Trevellian  are  in 
charge. 

A.  L.  Randall  Co.,  Chicago. 

This  is  a  large  display  of  new  shapes 
and  colors  in  baskets  manufactured  in 
tae  exhibitorVown  factory,,  of  vase 
lamps  in  many  sizes  and  of  self-con- 
tained electric  fountains  for  window, 
store  and  table  decoration.  Frank  Mc- 
Cabe  and  B.  E.  Blackshaw  are  in 
charge.       ■^■<Viii''>'.> 

In  connection  with  the  Randall  ex- 
hibit is  that  of  the  Duro  Paper  Products 
Co.,  an  allied  concern,  in  charge  of  S. 
Freund.  This  is  a  display  of  cut  flower 
boxes. 

Keed  &  Keller,  New  York. 

This  is  not  the  exhibitors'  largest 
convention  display,  but  it  certainly  ex- 
cels in  quality  anything  done  before. 
Consisting  almost  entirely  of  baskets, 
the  goods  are  almost  wholly  of  New 
York  manufacture.  A  novelty  is  what 
is  called  velvet  art  ware;  American 
Beauty  vases  with  the  horn  covered 
with  velvet.  Creton  ware  is  similarly 
•overed  with  fabric,  the  awning  basket 
being  an  elaboration  of  the  trellis  box. 
A  new  gates  ajar  provides  for  all  flow- 
ers being  in  water.  Lamp  vases  and 
bird  cages  are  among  the  other  items 
shown  in  variety.  George  Maunze  and 
Herman  Kurth   are  in  charge. 

M.  Bice  Co.,  Philadelphia. 

This  exhibitor  has  700  feet  of  space 
and  has  used  it  to  the  best  of  advan- 
tage, the  display  being  staged  more 
artistically  than  at  any  previous  con- 
vention. A  5-ton  truck  brought  the 
material  the  ninety  miles  from  Phila- 
delphia and  on  the  load  were  the  ma- 
terials for  staging.  Steep  steps  rise 
against  the  wall,  with  a  lattice  parti- 
tion every  little  way,  each  of  the  sec- 
tions thus  created  being  used  for  one 
line  of  baskets.  Special  attention  has 
been  paid  to  the  color  scheme.  Across 
the  walls  a  row  of  tables  affords  space 
for  other  articles.  The  Gray  Leader 
line  of  j)lant  l)oxes  and  vases  and  the 
Riceco  corsage  boxes  with  patent  felt 
flower  decorations  are  new  and  distinct. 
Old-fashioned  paper  bouquet  holders 
are  shown,  tinted  in  many  flower  colors. 
Baskets,  aquariums  and  Christmas  nov- 
elty wreaths  were  every  one  made  in 
America.  B.  Eschner  and  Raymond 
Brunswick  are  in  charge,  with  five  as- 
sistants.     .  '  • 

Julius   Boehrs    Co.,    Butherford,    N.    J. 

This  display  consists  of  palms  and  a 
general  line  of  decorative  plants,  also 
begonias  and  young  stock  for  growing 
on. 

B.  Bosen,  New  York. 

This  exhibit  consists  entirely  of 
Christmas  specialties  made  of  Japanese 
frieze,  a  wood  fiber  dyed  red  or  green, 
now  worked  up  in  many  forms,  includ- 
ing mats,  roping,  wreaths,  bells,  stars, 
etc.  L.  A.  Rosen  and  A.  H.  Rosen,  sons 
of  the   proprietor,   are    in  charge. 

BuBsin  &  Hanfling,  New  York. 

These  exhibitors  have  a  general  line 
of  staple  florists'  supplies,  with  enough 


space  so  that  the  stock  is  not  crowded 
and  each  article  can  be  examined  with 
as  much  comfort  as  though  shown  in  a 
store.  The  senior  partner,  Sam  H.  Rus- 
sin,  in  in  charge. 

John  Scheepers,  Inc.,  New  York. 

A  decorative  reception  booth,  Ha- 
waiian style,  fenced  and  well  furnished 
with  comfortable  chairs,  at  one  of  tl>e 
points  of  vantage  to  see  those  who  entdr 
the  hall.  The  display  consists  of  Some 
large  vases  of  lilies  and  gladioli  of  the 
newer  varieties,  including  some  un- 
named seedlings.  Mr.  Scheepers  is  in 
charge. 

Schloss  Bros.,  New  York. 

The  display  includes  a  large  variety 
of  ribbons,  chiffons,  bouquet  holders, 
shields,  dorsage  ties  and  novelties  in 
these  lines.     Emil  Schloss  is  in  charge. 

Geo.  L.  StiUman,  Westerly,  B.  I. 

This  exhibitor  reserved  space  for  a 
display  of  gladioli,  but , afterward  found 
tiie  public  would  not  be  adl^it!|fed  and 
did  not  send  his  flowers.  He  does  not 
cater  to  the  trade,  but  was  present  and 
had  a  rest  room  in  his  space. 

B.    Hammond    Tracy,    Wenham,    Mass. 

This  display  was  what  is  known  as 
the  Cedar  Acres  collection  of  gladioli. 
The  varieties  were  only  the  newer  ones. 
Mr.  Tracy  was  in  charge. 

Wertheimer  Bros.,  New  York. 

There  is  said  to  be  an  invoice  value 
of  $3,000  in  this  comprehensive  display 
of  ribbons,  chiffons,  gauze  and  corsage 
ribbon  and  the  notable  feature  is  that 
with  the  exception  of  one  number  the 
entire  exhibit  is  of  American  manufac- 
ture. Since  the  European  supply  be- 
came uncertain  the  firm  has  developed 
the  Werbro  Mills,  at  Paterson,  N.  J.,  and 
is  independent.  The  line  has  been  built 
up  with  special  reference  to  florists' 
needs  and  to  the  neglect  of  the  dry 
goods  trade.  Every  flower  color  is  re- 
produced. Special  emphasis  is  put  on 
Areoweve  and  otlier  corsage  ribbons, 
but  Werbro  gauze  is  one  of  the  leaders. 
Sam  Seligman  is  in  charge,  with  four 
assistants. 

Vaughan's  Seed  Store,  New  York. 

There  are  some  sixty  varieties  of 
gladioli  in  this  display,  cut  blooms  from 
the  exhiJjitor's  farms  in  Illinois  and 
Michigan.  The  stock  traveled  well. 
French,  Japanese  and  Bermuda  bulbs 
also  are  shown.  S.  W.  Pike  is  in  charge, 
assisted  by  Ed.  Boylan. 


MOTHEBS'    DAY     COMMITTEE. 

[This  Is  the  rpjiort  of  O.  .T.  Olson,  of  St.  Paul, 
Minn.,  cliairnian  of  tlie  Mothers'  day  committee, 
at   the  New  York  oonvention.  J 

Mothers'  day  has  now  developed  into 
one  of  the  big  flower  days  of  the  year 
throughout  the  greater  part  of  the 
country.  There  is  a  greater  and  more 
widespread  call  for  flowers  for  Mothers' 
day  than  for  any  other  day,  although 
the  sales  average  less,  and  the  total 
sales  do  not  amount  to  as  much  as  at 
Easter  and  Christmas. 

We  have,  however,  the  biggest  op- 
portunity to  make  this  the  banner  day 
of  the  year,  if  we  will  but  realize  it. 
There  is  no  limit  to  the  amount  the 
])ublic  will  spend  when  prompted  by  the 
tender  sentiment  which  is  attached  to 
the  magic  name  of  "Mother."

The  Florists^  Review 


27 


General  View  of  the  Middle  Section  of  tfie  Convention  Garden,  Bronx  Park,  New  York. 


Many  of  our  retailers  liave  already 
seen  the  desirability  of  interesting  the 
customer  in  something  better  and  dif- 
ferent than  the  ordinary  bunch  of  car- 
nations and  are  showing  many  things 
to  take  the  nlace  of  carnations  for 
Mothers'  day.  Blooming  i)lauts  have 
been  a  big  aid  in  this,  and  if  we  will 
make  the  effort  along  this  line  it  will 
help  solve  the  problem  of  suj)plying  the 
demand  for  flowers,  as  well  as  to  hold 
down  the  exorbitant  i)rice  of  carnations 
which  the  demand  causes. 

There  was  not  the  big  percentage 
of  call  for  white  carnations  this  year 
that  has  been  experienced  in  former 
years.  This  is  the  result  of  the  use  of 
the  slogan,  "Bright  flowers  for  mothers 
living;  white  flowers  for  mother's  mem- 
ory," used  by  many  florists  in  adver- 
tising  for   Mothers'    day. 

On  account  of  the  lack  of  a  definite 
program,  due  to  there  l)eing  no  oppor- 
tunity for  the  widely  scattered  mem- 
bers of  this  committee  to  meet  and  for- 
mulate one,  little  has  been  accom- 
plished. The  collection  of  a  fund  to  be 
turned  over  to  Miss  Anna  Jarvis  has 
not  had  the  response  from  the  trade 
that  it  should  have  had.  An  effort  to 
secure  promises  of  yearly  subscriptions 
has  not  proved  successful  so  far,  but  it 
is  hoped  that  this  plan  will  still  prove 
successful. 

Many  florists  have  expressed  a  desire 
that  this  committee  endeavor  to  secure 


the  cooperation  of  all  those  inter- 
ested in  furthering  the  sale  of  flowers 
for  Mothers'  day,  and  to  concentrate 
our  efforts  on  one  general  plan.  An- 
,  other  expression  heard  from  retailers  is 
the  desire  to  get  the  growers  to  supj)ly 
more  suitable  stock  for  Mothers'  day, 
and  also  to  eliminate  the  so-called 
pickled  stock  as  far  as  possible. 

I  regret  that  circumstances  prevent 
me  from  being  present  at  the  conven- 
tion to  make  a  more  complete  report, 
and  also  to  discuss  matters  pertaining 
to  Mothers'  day.

THE  visitors  at  the  New  York  conven- 
tion have  been  slow  to  register.  The 
S.  A.  F.  button  badge  admits  to  every- 
thing, so  registration  to  procure  tickets 
is  not  necessary,  as  in  years  when  there 
has  been  a  splendid  program  of  outside 
affairs.  The  attendance  is  large,  but 
many  who  came  from  near-by  places  for  a 
day  did  not  put  their  names  on  the  books 
and  a  complete  list  of  those  attending  is 
impossible.  Among  those  from  outside

E  are  gathered  here  today, 
^^  T'T"  in  this,  the  greatest  Ameri- 
\^y  /  can  city,  an  assemblage  of 
\^^^  loyal  members  of  a  great 
*^  *  ™  organization.  We  have 
come  from  the  far  west, 
north  and  south,  to  this 
extreme  eastern  city,  and 
those  who  have  come  in 
these  unsettled  times  show 
their  loyalty  to  this  organization  and 
their  firm  belief  in  these  United  States. 
It  is  with  much  happiness  that  we  as- 
semble in  this  spacious  auditorium,  with 
the  evidences  of  the  fact  that  we  are  all 
Americans,  owing  allegiance  to  but  one 
flag,  and  that  the  flag  of  the  American 
fathers,  the  Stars  and  Stripes,  the  sym- 
bol of  free  government — the  Red,  the 
White,  the  Blue. 

Here  we  renew  our  pledges  to  stand 
by  the  great  and  good  man,  Woodrow 
Wilson,  and  wherever  he  leads  we  will 
follow,  to  uphold  the  riglits  of  this,  our 
American  country,  and  when  this  ter- 
r  i  b  1  e  struggle  is 
over  we  hope  it  will 
bring  peace  and 
comfort  and  plenty 
to  every  nation  for 
all  time. 

Citizenship. 

In  these  strenu- 
ous times,  my  broth- 
ers, it  behooves  us, 
as  true  American 
citizens,  to  con- 
serve our  resources 
in  every  way  pos- 
sible, to  be  able  to 
meet  any  demands 
that  may  be  made 
on  us  during  tliis 
terrible  struggle, 
and  to  be  able  to 
respond  quickly  to 
every  call  of  our 
country. 

Never  before 
were  conventions 
apparently  so 
handicapped  as  the 
ones  that  are  called 
this  year,  but,  after 
all,  it  is  a  great  test 
lor  us  all,  for  surely 
it  h  a  s  developed 
stal)ility  and  inde- 
p  0  n  d  e  n  c  e.  Yet, 
Avith  many  handi- 
<'aps,  we  assemble 
today  in  what  I 
hope  will  be  the 
.greatest  convention 
of  the  society — per- 
haps not  the  great-

ent, not  the  great-

tainment,   but   I 


The  full  text  of  the  address  of  Robert  C.  Kerr, 
president  of  the  Society  of  American  Florists, 
delivered  at  the  convention  in  New  York,  August 
21,   1917. 

hope  the  most  efficient,  through  our  op- 
portunity for  real  results. 

Our  conventions  in  the  past  have  been 
most  efficient,  but  at  this  convention 
the  opportunity  is  provided  not  only  to 
help  ourselves,  but  to  prepare  to  help 
and  comfort  our  brothers  in  the  craft, 
in  this  world  war,  over  there. 

We  are  given  the  opportunity  to  make 
this  convention  different,  and  distinct 
from  all  others.  We  have  all  appreci- 
ated each  convention,  each  type  of  man 
that  serves,  and  it  is  the  same  spirit  of 
appreciation  of  the  circumstances  that 
makes  this  a  convention  different  from 
others.  Old  methods  and  manners  are 
changing — in  fact,  must  change — and 
is  it  not  well  that  the  Society  of  Ameri- 
can Florists  should  be  put  to  the  test, 
and  show  to  all  that  our  national  con-

(President  of  the  Society  of  American  Florists.) 


ventions  do  not  depend  on  entertain- 
ments? And  I  am  proud  of  the  fact 
that  the  convention  over  which  I  am 
allowed  to  preside  shows  that  loyalty 
to  service. 

Time  has  flown  fast  during  the  last 
and  most  eventful  twelve  months,  since 
this  great  organization  honored  the 
south,  and  especially  Texas  and  Hous- 
ton, with  our  convention. 

From  Boston  in  the  extreme  east  to 
San  Francisco  in  the  extreme  west,  to 
Houston  in  the  extreme  south,  is  a 
record  of  which  any  organization  may 
be  proud.  And  I  feel  particularly 
proud  of  being  so  closely  associated 
with  this  organization  when  we  are 
making  such  great  progress. 

As  our  charter  indicates,  we  are  a 
national  organization,  and  when  we 
journeyed  to  San  Francisco  we  not 
only  showed  that  we  were  national  in 
spirit,  but  created  new  interest,  thereby 
adding  both  numbers  to  our  member- 
ship and  money  to  our  treasury. 

Then  you  voted 
the  convention  to 
Houston,  and  it  was 
another  instance  of 
increased  member- 
ship and  increased 
treasury. 

Membership. 

A  trade  paper, 
commenting  upon 
the  conventions 
west  and  south, 
said,  "The  society 
will  return  to  the 
east  by  slow  and 
easy  stages."  The 
south  is  often  con- 
sidered slow,  but  in 
this  case  we  have 
not  been  so  slow, 
for  we  are  this  day 
delivering  the  so- 
ciety again  to  the 
oast,  and  I  trust 
that  you  will  find 
its  affairs  in  even  a 
better  condition 
than  upon  its  de- 
jiarture  from  Bos- 
ton to  San  Fran- 
cisco. And,  in  re- 
turn for  our  loyalty 
to  the  society,  we 
trust  you  will  honor 
both  the  west  and 
the  south,  with  the 
convention  in  our 
midst,  in  some  near 
future  day. 

While  the  in- 
crease in  our  mem- 
bership during  the 
last  year  has  been 
satisfactory,  c  o  m-

The  Florists^  Review 


August  23,  1917. 


ous  years'  recortls,  it  is  astonisliing 
that  there  are  numbers  of  our  profes- 
sion who  are  not  members  of  this  organ- 
ization. And  there  is  no  excuse  for 
this  state  of  affairs.  There  are  many 
lines  of  activities  in  our  organization 
that  have  done  much  to  elevate  our  pro- 
fession, and  all  members  of  our  craft 
who  are  deriving  a  direct  benefit  from 
this  work,  and  are  not  contributing  to 
its  support,  are  disloyal  to  then-ause,  or 
1  might  add,  if  you  please,  are  ' '  slack- 
ers. ' ' 

It  is  my  intention  not  to  unnecessavily 
criticise,  but  I  must  say  that  we  have  a 
weak  point  in  our  organization.  Instead 
of  having  2,000  members,  we  should 
have  a  national  organization  in  num- 
bers, say  10,000,  from  every  corner  of 
the  whole  United  States.  The  great 
work  that  is  being  done  by  this  organ- 
ization should  interest  every  man  in 
our  profession,  and  the  fact  that  any 
are  not  members  shows  our  weak  point. 
The  majority  of  our  state  vice-presi- 
dents are  active,  and  doing  a  commend- 
able work,  but  some  are  inactive.  I 
have  sent  out  many  letters  during  the 
last  year,  trying  to  stir  up  interest,  and 
a  few  state  vice-presidents  do  not  even 
reply;  others  reply,  pleading  that  they 
are  too  busy.  We  tlo  have  a  number  of 
hard  workers,  who  get  results,  and  I 
notice  that  these  are  usually  tlie  busiest 
men  in  our  profession.  But  these  con- 
ditions must  be  remedied;  we  should 
provide  ways  and'li^'cans  of  reaching 
the  non-members  and  putting  before 
them  the  necessary  information  as  to 
our  activities. 

In  going  (Oyer  the  reports  of  past 
president%^ ilote  that  recommendations 


were  made  to  the  members  to  get  active 
individually.  This,  of  course,  is  neces- 
sary, but  we  are  not  getting  results  as 
we  should,  and  we  must  find  even  a  bet- 
ter way  in  which  to  work.  Now,  the 
methods  to  use  to  overcome  this  ob- 
stacle would  be  hard  to  work  out  with- 
out considerable  study,  and  I  recom- 
mend to  the  society  that  a  committee 
be  appointed  to  devise  ways  and  means 
for  a  membership  campaign  that  will 
bring  results. 

National  Flower  Show. 

When  the  society  adopted,  in  Hous- 
ton, an  amendment  to  our  by-laws  to 
place  within  the  power  of  the  execu- 
tive board  the  changing  of  the  date  of 
our  meetings,  I  feel  tliat  this  was  a 
great  step  forward.  More  particularly 
will  it  give  us  the  opportunity  to  try 
out  the  holding  of  our  convention  and 
National  Flower  Show  in  conjunction. 
Our  first  combined  convention  and  show 
will  be  held  in  St.  Louis  in  the  spring 
of  1918.  This  will  demonstrate  to  the 
members  the  feasibility  of  the  plan. 
This  plan  has  been  discussed  by  our 
most  able  and  conservative  members  on 
both  sides  of  the  question. 

I  predict  that  this  new  arrangement 
in  the  conduct  of  our  annual  meetings 
will  see  a  decided  change  in  the  inter- 
est taken  in  our  work.  The  time  has 
long  passed  when  our  members  want 
only  entertainment  and  a  good  time  at 
these  conventions.  Instead,  they  want 
information  along  all  lines.  They  want 
to  return  home  with  new  ideJ^  that 
will  assist  them  in  furthering  their 
business.  I  predict  that  the  new  plan 
will   stimulate  both  in  attendance   and

membership.  The  year  following  the 
St.  Louis  convention  we  will  hold  a 
summer  convention,  and  this  will  reach 
the  members  who  cannot  attend  the 
spring  convention.  To  my  mind,  this 
would  be  a  wise  plan  to  follow  in  the 
future. 

I  want  to  take  this  opportunity  of 
commending  the  chairman  of  the  Na- 
tional Flower  Show,  George  Asmus,  and 
his  most  efficient  committee,  for  their 
most  excellent  service  rendered  to  the 
society.  Members  who  are  not  in  close 
touch  little  realize  the  great  volume  of 
work  undertaken  and  carried  out  by  the 
members  of  this  committee,  or  the  tre- 
mendous responsibility  that  rests  upon 
their  shoulders.  The  National  Flower 
Show  has  been  the  means  of  rapidly  in- 
creasing our  funds,  by  putting  dollars 
in  our  treasury  from  the  Philadelphia 
show.  While  the  finances  are  secondary, 
these  shows  must  be  made  profitable  if 
we  expect  to  continue  them.  The 
shows  are  of  a  wondei'ful  educational 
A'alue  to  the  flower-buying  people. 
There  is  no  better  medium  by  which  we 
can  increase  the  sale  of  flowers  than  by 
holding  these  shows  in  different  sections 
of  the  country. 

I  wish  most  heartily  to  recommend 
the  holding  of  our  JS^ational  Flower 
Show  every  two  years,  and  that  the 
National  Flower  Show  committee  carry 
this  into  effect  as  soon  as  practical. 

School   Gardens. 

I  have  been  watching  with  interest 
the  good  work  accomplished  by  the 
most  efficient  chairman  of  our  school 
garden  committee,  Benjamin  Hammond. 
He  seems  to  be  peculiarly  fitted  for  this 
work. 

The  minds  of  our  people  are  rapidly 
turning  in  the  direction  of  more  home 
products.  It  has  been  proven  that  the 
way  to  reach  the  parents  is  through  the 
children.  If  the  children  are  interested 
in  floral  and  horticultural  work,  the 
parents  can  not  help  but  become  en- 
thused and  encourage  the  work.  Aside 
from  beautifying  the  home,  it  forms 
habits  of  training  and  uplift  that  have 
no  parallel  in  the  shaping  of  tlie  char- 
acter of  the  children.  My  only  regret 
is  that  this  work  is  not  taken  up  in 
every  school  in  these  Ignited  States. 

I  trust  that  we  will  lend  every  en- 
couragement to  further  the  work  along 
this  line. 

Convention  Gardens. 

Due  to  the  holding  of  the  convention 
and  National  Flower  Show  at  the  same 
time  in  St.  Louis  in  the  spring  of  1918, 
it  will  be  necessary  to  dispense  with 
the  convention  garden  for  that  year. 
But  I  am  confident  that  this  will  add 
more  interest  in  the  garden  the  coming 
year.  Having  these  gardens  every  two 
years  will  give  more  time  to  the  prepa- 
ration and  we  can  have  even  a  better 
dis])lay    than    heretofore. 

It  is  hardly  ])robable  that  we  can  im- 
prove in  all  respects  on  ])revious  gar- 
dens, or  on  the  one  we  have  the  pleas- 
ure of  viewing  this  year  in  New  York, 
but  as  time  goes  on  and  we  profit  each 
time  by  ])ast  experiences,  we  shall  be

Legislation. 

It  is  strange  to  say,  but  is  neverthe- 
less true,  that  unless  we  are  continually 
on  the  alert,  laws  are  likely  to  be  passed 
that  will  be  of  serious  detriment  to  our

•nrofcssion.  I  will  call  your  attention  to 
the  proposed  drastic  quarantine  law, 
-wliich  if  it  goes  into  effect,  will  practi- 
cal! v  eliminate  the  importation  of  all 
foreign  stock.  If  not  for  the  alertness 
of  our  legislative  committee,  this  law 
will  likely  be  passed. 

I  also  want  to  call  your  attention  to 
a  matter  that  will  be  presented  to  the 
interstate  commerce  committee,  in  re- 
<rard  to  allowing  the  express  companies 
a  delay  of  twenty-four  hours  on  cut 
flowers,  as  a  reasonable  delay  in  trans- 
])ortation.  The  florists  of  the  country 
realize  the  extremely  heavy  loss  this 
would  mean  in  the  transportation  of 
their  stock. 

There  is  at  this  time  a  great  need 
for  a  uniform  interstate  inspection  law, 
and  I  would  urge  the  legislative  com- 
mittee to  work  in  connection  with  the 
committee  of  nurserymen,  who  have  al- 
ready started  the  mover^ent  to  get  this 
matter  adjusted. 

These  are  just  a  few  of  the  numerous 
things  that  confrpnt  this  committee 
from  time  to  time.  Yet,  regardless  of 
tliis  committee's  effective  work,  a  num- 
ber of  live  florists  have  asked  me, 
' '  What  good  is  to  be  derived  from  be- 
ing a  member  of  the  Society  of  Ameri- 
can Florists!" 

I  wish  here  to  thank  personally  each 
member  of  this  committee,  and  wish  to 
urge  each  member  of  the  Society  of 
American  Florists  to  lend  his  coopera- 
tion in  the  furthering  of  this  great 
work. 

Publicity. 

Great  men  have  told,  and  great  events 
have  shown,  how  patriotism  and  good 
business  go  hand  in  hand  in  these  days 
of  America  at  war.  The  value  of  an 
even  keel,  and  a  steady  ])ull  tlirougli 
the  rougli  waters  of  international  strife, 
has  been  sliown  in  many  ways.  The 
maintenance  of  everyday  l)usiness,  in 
its  accustomed  even  routine,  lias  its 
magnificent  part  in  the  winning  of  free- 
dom for  all.  It  is  the  nation's  normal 
lieart-beat,  i)umi)ing  blood  to  the  brain 
and  muscles  of  war.  This  is  why  great 
minds  have  seen  in  the  ]>erpetuation  of 
everyday  business  conditions  the  real 
winning  of  the  war.  And  if  there  ever 
was  a  time  in  the  history  of  our  profes- 
sion when  we  needed  a  nation-wide  co- 
ojierative  i)ublicity  campaign,  it  is  now. 
During  this  time  of  so  much  pul)licity 
given  to  economy,  we  are  liable  to  suf- 
fer if  we  do  not  give  more  publicity  to 
the  use  of  flowers,  plants  and  other 
ornamentals. 

Just  an  example  of  what  does  haj)- 
pen  occasionally:  An  article  ajipeared 
in  one  of  our  Houston  local  jiapers,  ad- 
ilressed  to  one  of  the  local  charities, 
saying,  "Find  enclosed  my  check  for 
$!<•,  which,  under  former  conditions, 
would  have  gone  for  flowers,  but  I  feel 
it  my  duty  to  send  this  instead."  This 
article  -was  published  just  after  the 
funeral  tlie  same  afternoon  of  one  of 
Mur  townsmen,  and  would  liave  had 
telling  effect  if  it  had  appeared  in  the 
morning  jiaper.  T  am  only  looking  at  this 
from  tlie  viewjioint  of  my  liaving  flow- 
ers to  sell — my  only  commodity  for  sell- 
ing and  making  my  living — and  not 
from  anotiier  viewpoint  which  we  must 
often  take,  that  of  helping  willingly  and 
liberally  in  all  deserving  causes. 

Such  agitation,  you  see,  calls  for  us 
to  keep  ever  before  the  public  the  use 
of  flowers.  We  must  keep  tiie  senti- 
ment alive.  We  must  have  some  means 
of    quick    action,    and    I   am    convinced 


Joseph  Manda 


(Dlrector-eU'ct  Society  of  Anii-ricnii  Florists.) 


that  it  would  be  well  for  every  city  to 
follow  plans  similar  to  those  of  the 
Chicago  Florists'  Club,  *very  florist  in 
the  city  contributing  his  pro-rata  to  a 
cooperative  a<lvertisement  to  appear  as 
often  as  is  deemed  best,  on  the  subject 
of  the  general  use  of  flowers.  If  this  is 
done  by  individuals,  they  can  sign  their 
names;  if  by  clubs,  then  the  club  name, 
or  some  similar  plan  can  be  followed. 

Our  publicity  committee  can  be  of 
vital  importance,  stirring  up  interest 
throughout  the  country  i)y  such  a  co- 
operative plan.  And  a  movement  of  this 
kind  is  inexpensive  but  effective,  deriv- 
ing a  direct  benefit.  I  would  strongly 
urge  the  publicity  committee  to  give 
serious  consideration  to  this  or  some 
other  good  plan,  that  will  get  immedi- 
ate results.  This  is  a  time  to  think, 
and  think  straight.  Use  your  heads,  you 
business  men,  not  your  hearts  alone. 
You  have  got  to  think  straight  for  the 
future,  not  for  the  present.  The  cross 
currents  are  strong,  and  sweep  from 
whirlpools    of   immeasurable   depth. 

National  Credit  and  Collections. 

For  the  last  two  years  there  has  been 
a  great  deal  of  discussion  on  this  im- 
jiortant  subject.  These  two  years  have 
been  devoted  to  serious  study  and  in- 
vestigation, and  we  are  now  ready  to 
get  tiown  to  business. 

We  all  realize  the  importance  of  this 
department  of  our  work.  I  am  not  go- 
ing into  details  in  this  matter,  as  the 
chairman  of  this  committee,  Patrick 
Welch,  will  present   this  matter   in   de- 


tail, and  you  may  depend  upon  his  com- 
mittee bringing  this  work  into  success- 
ful ojieration. 

Our  Revenues. 

We  return  this  organization  to  the 
east,  bringing  to  you  more  members,  a 
larger  treasury,  tlie  society  in  a  more 
thriving  condition  than  ever  before. 
And  we  have  discussed,  from  time  to 
time,  the  duty  of  expending  our  reve- 
nues in  sucli  a  way  that  the  trade,  as  a 
whole,   will    he   most    benefited. 

Many  times  I  liave  been  asked  by 
members,  "What  do  you  expect  to  do 
with  the  accumulations  in  the  treas- 
ury?" I  think  we  have  reached  a  suf- 
ficient amount  to  give  serious  consider- 
ation to  the  proper  expenditure  of  it, 
and  I  would  recommend  to  the  members 
of  tlie  incoming  board  that  they  give 
consideration  to  this  matter.  In  mak- 
ing the  recommendation,  I  am  mindful 
of  the  fact  that  expenditures  through 
the  legislative  committee,  the  publicity 
committee  and  our  other  imjiortant 
committees,  are  benefiting  our  memher- 
shij)  in  general.  Rut  a  study  of  the  re- 
]iorts  shows  that  this  money  is  coming 
(uit  of  our  revenues  each  year.  I  am 
of  the  oyiinion  that  revenues  from  our 
interest  should  be  devoted  to  some  spe- 
cific ]>urj)()se,  and  I  see  no  reason  for 
further   delay   in   tliis  matter. 

I  am  sure  that  the  meml)ers  of  our 
organization  will  be  exceedingly  ]deased 
to  know  that  our  treasurer  was  author- 
ized to  invest  .$10,(I0(I  in  Liberty  Loan 
bonds.       I'ndoubtedlv     this     shows    the

The  Florists^  Review 


AUOUST  23,  1917. 


great   patriotic   spirit   of   our   organiza- 
tion. 

Our  Patriotic  Duty. 

While  we  have  subscribed  $10,000  to 
the  Liberty  Loan,  this  is  a  substantial 
investment.  We  should  go  further  and 
sacrifice  something  at  this  time  for  the 
good  of  the  cause. 

Florists  and  their  allied  interests 
liave  enjoyed  such  prosperity  as  few 
lines  of  business  have  enjoyed.  We,  as 
patriotic  American  citizens,  should  sub- 
scribe something  to  the  cause  of  the 
Red  Cross.  I  feel  that  this  convention 
should,  before  we  adjourn,  subscribe 
$1,000  to  the  Red  Cross,  either  from  our 
treasury  or  by  public  subscription.  I 
trust  that  this  convention  will  imme- 
diately authorize  the  appointment  of  a 
committee  to  recommend  at  our  next 
session  the  proper  procedure  to  raise 
this  money. 

Our  Secretary. 

Our  society  has  many  valuable  assets, 
and  one.  of  these  is  the  service  of  an 
efficient    secretary. 

Few  members  realize  the  great 
volume  of  business  transacted  through 
this  office,  which,  to  my  knowledge,  is 
transacted  in  a  most  detailed  and  effi- 
cient manner. 

The  executive  board  is  responsible  to 
the  membership  for  the  work  of  the 
secretary.  Then  why  should  it  not  be 
left  to  the  directors  to  elect  the  man  for 
whom  they  are  responsible?  You  will 
have  presented  to  you,  at  this  conven- 
tion, an  amendment  to  our  by-laws, 
which,  if  passed,  will  empower  your 
board  to  elect  a  secretary,  instead  of 
his  being  elected  by  the  membership 
at  the  convention.  Personally,  I  can 
hardly  conceive  of  anyone  objecting  to 
this  change,  as  it  is  only  fair  to  the 
executive  board.  If,  perchance,  this 
amendment  shall  fail,  and  if  at  some 
future  date  you  elect  a  secretary  who 
is  incompetent  and  inefficient,  and  the 
affairs  are  not  carried  on  as  they  should 
be  in  every  detail,  do  not  blame  the 
executive  board. 

The  responsibilities  of  the  secretary 
of  our  society  are  great.  And  I  say  to 
you  at  this  time,  that  it  is  your  duty 
to  vote  for  tliis  amendment'  and  give 
to  the  executive  board  the  power  to 
elect  a  secretary  and  let  the  responsibil- 
ity rest  with  them,  as  they  must  account 
to  the  membership  for  the  conduct  of 
the  affairs  of  this  office. 

Cooperation. 

We  all  remember  the  old  adage, 
"Competition  is  the  life  of  trade."  But 
we  live  in  the  age  of  progressivoncss, 
and  we  have  changed  the  old  adafje  to 
read,  "Cooperation  is  the  life  of 
trade."  Just  as  I  began  this  part  of 
my  report,  I  had  returned  from  a  co- 
meeting  of  the  ])oards  of  two  civic 
organizations,  rivals  in  some  respects, 
but  both  working  to  the  same  end  and 
both  striving  to  make  Houston  a  greater 
city.  There  had  been  a  lack  of  har- 
mony, just  because  we  failed  to  get  to- 
gether. When  we  met  on  common 
ground  we  discovered  that  there  was 
really  no  cause  for  friction.  To<lay 
these  two  organizations  are  linked  to- 
gether and  they  will  accomplish  great 
results  in  the  future. 

The  point  I  want  to  bring  out  is  this: 
Get  a  little  closer  to  your  neiglil)or. 
There  may  have  been  a  lack  of  harmony, 
but  when  an  understanding  is  reached, 
there  is  no  necessity  for  friction  of  any 
kind.      I    will    cite    anotlier    instance: 


The  Texas  State  IMorists'  Association 
was  organized,,  and  We'  hi^ve  close  coop- 
eration among  the  florists  of  the  state 
and  are  getting  wonderful  results.  More 
organizations  in  every  state  are  form- 
ing each  year  and  these  organizations 
should  affiliate  with  the  Society  of 
American  Florists.  Through  our  per- 
sonal cooperation,  by  state  organiza- 
tion, together  with  our  special  organiza- 
tions, such  as  our  Rose  and  Carnation 
Societies,  the  Florists'  Telegraph  De- 
livery and  other  bodies  of  similar 
nature,  centered  in  our  society  as  a  na- 
tional body,  we  should  reap  wonderful 
results. 

You  have  come  to  this  convention  to 
make  your  profession  more  efficient,  so 
that  you  can  be  of  greater  service  to 
the    world.      Your    object    is    business 


betterment  through  better  methods. 
You  serve  the  world,  your  country  and 
yourselves  by  helping  with  your  work 
in  facilitating  all  business  as  usual. 
We  are  always  willing  to  help  one  an- 
other, and  I  am  glad  to  see  you  are 
here  in  the  spirit  of  helpfulness.  You 
are  here  with  open  hearts,  with  warm 
handclasp  and  with  smiling  faces, 
typical  of  members  of  the  Society  of 
American  Florists.  You  are  ready  to 
give  value  for  value — everyone  hand 
in  hand,  side  by  side.  Your  cooperat- 
ing in  this  great  national  Society  of 
American  Florists  is  a  national  force 
for  better  business.  You  can  do  great 
things  for  yourselves,  and  for  all,  at 
this  meeting.  We  want  you  to  do  them 
with  your  whole  heart,  as  true  members, 
and  we  know  you  will.

SOCIETY'S  ACTIVITIES     ' 


ir)^i^rs^iir)'S>(ir/s<(i^£v^h^r)^r/svirirs>(ir)rs\irrs\ir;rsvin^ 


AjrAIN  I  have  the  pleasure  to  report 
most  satisfactory  progress  made  by 
the  society,  with  a  strength  in  member- 
ship which  augurs  well  for  the  imme- 
diate future.  In  little  more  than  five 
years  I  have  had  the  satisfaction  of 
seeing  the  membership  increase  over 
eighty  per  cent,  nearly  twofold.  When 
I  took  office  January  1,  1912,  the  mem- 
bership comprised  994  annual  and  281 
life  members,  a  total  of  1,275.  Decem- 
ber 31,  1916,  five  years  later,  we  had 
1,304  annual,  447  life  and  25  pioneer 
members,  a  total  of  1,776,  a  gain  of  501 
members,  of  whom  166  had  taken  out 
life  memberships.  August  10  last  we 
had,  presuming  the  1917  dues  will  be 
paid,  1,694  annual,  496  life  and  25 
pioneer  members,  a  grand  total  of  2,215. 
I  need  hardly  say  that  this  growth  is 
most  gratifying  to  me,  and  must  be 
equally  so  to  all  our  members.  But  we 
are  not  nearly  so  strong  as  we  should  be, 
when  we  consider  that  we  yet  include 
in  our  membership  perhaps  only  ten  per 
cent  of  the  total  number  of  florists  in 
this  country  and  Canada,  all  of  whom 
should  be  earnestly  interested  in  the 
work  of  the  society,  which  is  ever  in  the 
direction  of  benefit  for  the  trade  at 
large. 

We  may  congratulate  ourselves  upon 
the  standing  of  our  society,  both  as  to 
membership  and  finances,  especially  in 
these  days  of  war  and  unrest.  We 
should  also  bear  in  mind  that  our  last 
two  conventions  were  held  remotely 
apart  and  far  from  greatly  populated 
centers — one  in  the  far  west,  the  other 
in  the  far  south — which,  undoubtedly, 
cut  down  our  prospects  for  a  large  in- 
flux of  new  members;  yet,  it  is  equally 
plain  tliat  we  made  no  mistake  in  meet- 
ing in  these  sections,  and  that  our  mem- 
bership increased  under  natural  rather 
than  abnormal  conditions. 

The  Year's  Membership  Score. 

I  have  been  a  little  disappointed  be- 
cause of  the  small  number  of  new  mem- 
bers secured  through  the  efforts  of  the 
state  vice-presidents.  While  a  few  of 
these  officers  have  given  evidence  of 
endeavor,  the  great  majority  have  not 


From  the  report  of  John  Young,  secretary  of 
tlie  Society  of  American  Florists,  presented  at 
the  New  Yorli  convention,  August  21,   1917. 


seemed  to  be  able  to  induce  florists  in 
their  respective  territories  to  join  our 
organization.  I  have  sent  out  thousands 
of  pieces  of  maU  through  different  sec- 
tions explaining  our  objects  and  solicit- 
ing applications  for  membership,  but 
the  results  from  persuasion  by  mail 
have  been  meager.  There  is  nothing 
.'like  personal  solicitation  by  the  man  on 
the  spot. 

The  society  long  ago  made  provision 
for  the  payment  of  incidental  expenses 
attaching  to  the  office  of  a  state  vice- 
president  up  to  the  amount  of  $25,  and 
this  sum  would  cover  the  cost  of  quite  a 
little  missionary  work. 

The    following   have    sent    in    one    or

F.  T.  D.  and  Publicity. 

The  Florists'  Telegraph  Delivery  is 
doing  good  recruiting  work  as  a  section 
of  our  society,  securing  for  us  a  large 
influx  of  new  members.  It  will  be  no- 
ticed that  we  are  publishing  a  full  re- 
port of  the  meetings  of  this  organiza- 
tion in  our  annual  proceedings.  Upward 
of  121  pages  appeared  in  the  liy.6  vol- 
ume. We  also  publish  a  list  of  F.  T.  D. 
members,  with  addresses  and  names  of 
the  retail  establishments  represented. 
Our  executive  board  has  recommended 
that  any  appropriations  for  publicity 
work  made  by  the  society  shall  be  ex- 
pended by  the  society's  publicity  com- 
mittee in  conjunction  with  a  similar 
committee  appointed  by  the  F.  T.  D. 
This  will  insure  that  the  interests  of  all 
branches  of  the  trade  will  ])e  conserved 
in  publicity  work. 

Publicity  for  flowers  and  the  best

with  for  some  time.  It  is-  a  matter  re- 
quiring deep  thought,  and  any  step 
made  must  necessarily  be  in  the  right 
direction,  otherwise  expenditures  on  the 
project  would  be  entirely  wasted.  Many 
plans  have  been  suggested,  but  none  has 
vet  been  adopted.  You  will  have  no- 
ticed that  in  the  report  of  the  meeting 
of  the  board  of  directors  a  recommenda- 
tion was  made  that  the  society  appro- 
priate $1,500  to  the  use  of  the  F.  T.  D. 
to  augment  the  fund  which  the  latter  is 
raising  for  a  general  advertising  cam- 
paign. 

The  bureau  of  credits  and  collections 
is  another  of  the  society's  projects  in 
which  the  policy  of  "make  haste  slow- 
ly" is  paramount.  The  committee  in 
charge  of  the  proposition,  however,  is 
beginning  "to  see  daylight"  and  it  will 
not  be  long  before  a  working  plan  will 
be  evolved.  The  committee  is  fortu- 
nate in  having  at  its  head  as  able  a 
chairman  as  Patrick  Welch. 

Next  Year's  Show  and  Meeting. 

The  committee  on  Mothers'  day 
worked  earnestly  early  in  the  year  to 
promote  a  fund  for  advertising  flowers 
for  this  day,  as  its  report  will  show.  In 
collaboration  with  Chairman  Olson,  I 
sent  out  13,200  circular  letters  to  flo- 
rists, dealers  in  supplies,  etc.,  soliciting 
subscriptions.  The  amount  received 
was  only  $571  and  the  expenditures,  in- 
cluding postage,  amounted  to  $516.50, 
leaving  a  net  balance  of  $54.50. 

The  work  of  the  secretary's  office  in 
the  promotion  of  the  Fifth  National 
Flower  Show  has  been  quite  active  for 
many  months.  I  have  been  successful 
in  raising  the  required  $10,000  guaran- 
tee fund  and  have  published  and  dis- 
tributed two  preliminary  schedules,  im- 
portant and  necessary  features  of  the 
work. 

The  ])lan  to  hold  the  1918  convention 
of  the  society  in  St.  Louis  in  conjunc- 
tion with  the  National  Flower  Show, 
while  at  first  thought  to  be  a  question- 
able policy,  is  meeting  with  hearty  ap- 
proval, and  I  am  assured  on  every  hand 
that  it  has  been  a  wise  move  and  un- 
doubtedly pleases  the  majority  of  our 
members.  The  double  attraction  should 
insure  a  larger  attendance  of  the  trade 
than  we  have  hitherto  had  at  any  of  our 
gatherings,  and  the  possibility  of  com- 
bining the  usual  flower  show  trade  ex- 
hibits with  the  regular  convention  trade 
exhibition  should  result  in  a  grand  ex- 
position of  florists '  products,  auxilia- 
ries, supplies  and  accessories,  as  well  as 
of  everything  used  in  the  line  of  horti- 
cultural work,  both  professional  and 
amateur. 

The  Garden  and  Exhibition. 

I  would  particularly  direct  the  atten- 
tion of  members  to  the  fact  that  all 
dues  are  payable  January  1,  and  should 
not  be  permitted  to  run  until  conven- 
tion time.  The  dues  are  small  and  re- 
mitting is  easy,  so  why  not  make  an  im- 
mediate remittance  on  receipt  of  the 
bill  from  the  secretary's  offico  and  save 
the  society  the  unnecessary  ])ostage  en- 
tailed by  subsequent  billings? 

I  regret  to  say  that,  in  spite  of  the 
most  strenuous  efforts  I  could  put  forth, 
interest  in  the  convention  garden 
lagged  to  a  surprising  extent,  in  spite 
of  the  great  advertising  opportunity 
presented  and  the  fact  that  plantings 
could  be  continued  without  cost  for 
several  seasons.  The  support  received 
by  the  society  in  the  gar<len  project  this 
year  has  been  meager,  indeed.  In  this 
great  city  of  New  York,  with  its  exten- 


Gcorgc  E.  M.  Stumpp. 

(Pn'sidcnt  New  York  Floiistw*  Club.) 


sive  suburbs  where  horticulture  is  a 
general  hobby  of  the  residents,  plant- 
ings of  novelties  or  meritorious  varie- 
ties in  plants  and  flowers  would  have 
obtained  publicity  the  value  of  which 
could  hardly  be  estimated  in  dollars 
and  cents — and  at  such  little  cost. 

When  we  consider  the  disturbed  con- 
dition of  commerce,  lack  of  transporta- 
tion facilities  and  other  drawbacks  at 
])resent  in  evidence,  it  must  be  admitted 
that  our  trade  exhibition  is  as  large  and 
as  comprehensive  as  could  be  expected. 
While  it  compares  favorably  with  other 
exhibitions,  had  times  been  normal  it 
would,  undoubtedly,  have  been  excep- 
tionally large. 

Exit   Organized   Entertainment. 

In  line  with  recommendations  made 
from  time  to  time  by  our  executive 
board  that  organized  entertainment  in 
convention  cities  be  discontinued,  for 
the  reason  that  they  detract  from  the 
interest  of  our  society's  meetings,  such 
entertainment  forms  no  part  of  our  pro- 
gram. Feeling  that  a  precedent  might 
better  be  established  in  a  large  city, New- 
York  has  set  an  example,  the  sincerity 
of  which  is  unquestioned,  and  it  is 
meeting  the  approval  of  tlie  majority  of 
our  membership.  If  the  precedent  is 
turned  into  custom,  many  more  cities 
will  find  it  their  unhampered  privilege 
to  offer  themselves  for  future  conven- 
tions. 

I  desire  at  this  time  to  express  pub- 
licly my  appreciation  of  the  most  con- 
genial relations  which  have  existed  be- 
tween the  committees  of  our  society  and 
the  secretary's  office.  Such  relations 
I  recognize  to  be  most  important  in 
conducting  the  work  of  the  society,  and 


it  is  a  great  ])leasure  to  me  to  testify 
to  the  great  harmony  prevailing.  I  am 
at  all  times  ready  to  render  any  assist- 
ance in  my  power  to  committee  work, 
promptly  and  most  cheerfully. 

It  is  also  fitting  at  this  time  that  I 
should  mention  the  great  services  ren- 
dered to  the  society  by  the  trade  press. 
Our  trade  papers  have  promptly  pub- 
lished the  large  number  of  articles  sent 
in  by  me  during  the  last  year  and  their 
unselfish  assistance  in  our  work  should 
be  recognized  to  the  fullest  extent  pos- 
sible.

TARIFF  AND  LEGISLATION  COMMITTEE 


OS^E  of  the  first  and  most  serious 
problems  presented  to  your  commit- 
tee since  the  last  report  was  a  bill  pro- 
hibiting imports.  The  demand  for  the 
stopping  of  imports  of  all  kinds  of 
plants,  trees  and  bulbs  from  all  sources, 
comes  from  a  small  group  of  entomolo- 
gists, who  seem  to  think  that  legislation, 
often  ill-advised,  is  the  solution  of  all 
evils.  They  do  not  seem  to  know  how 
dependent  our  trade  is  upon  other  coun- 
tries for  such  raw  materials  as  lily<  bulbs, 
valley  pips,  azaleas,  Manetti  stocks, 
Dutch  bulbs,  etc.,  but  they  think  that 
the  prohibition  of  these  imports  will  re- 
duce the  annual  damage  done  to  our 
crops  and  forests  by  insect  pests  and 
plant  diseases.  We  will  not  weary  you 
with  the  details  in  this  report,  as  the 
facts  have  been  published  by  the  trade 
papers. 

The  seriousness  of  the  matter  to  this 
organization  comes  from  the  fact  that 
this  small  group  of  entomologists  had 
the  American  Forestry  Association  en- 
dorse the  plan.  This  body  has  a  mem- 
bership of  more  than  5,000,  so  is  politi- 
cally powerful  in  Washington.  It  con- 
sists largely  of  lumbermen,  who,  of 
course,  are  enthusiastically  in  favor  of 
any  plan  which  they  are  told  will  pro- 
tect our  forests,  from  which  their  sup- 
ply of  lumber  comes. 

The  Fight  on  Quarantine. 

Since  the  proposed  prohibition  af- 
fected the  nurserymen  almost  as  vitally 
as  the  florists,  arrangements  have  been 
made  whereby  the  nurserymen  join  with 
the  florists  in  combating  the  plan,  and 
share  the  expenses  of  employing  what 
talent  may  be  necessary.  During  the 
summer  months  our  committee  and  the 
nurserymen's  committee  are  to  meet 
with  the  entomological  committee  in 
charge,  and  there  the  matter  now 
stands. 

It  has  been  stated  that  the  entomo- 
logical committee  would  be  satisfied  at 
this  time  with  a  partial  quarantine  on 
what  they  term  "finished  product." 
This  would  then  quarantine  only  such 
items  as  bay  trees,  azaleas,  boxwood, 
etc.,  but  your  committee  has  good  rea- 
sons for  believing  this  would  only  be 
the  thin  end  of  the  wedge,  largely  used 
to  divide  the  nurserymen  and  florists  in 
their  opposition.  If  this  plan  of  the  pro- 
hibition of  imports  is  allowed  to  become 
effective,  there  is  little  doubt  that  the 
next  step  will  be  an  embargo  on  inter- 
state trade — every  argument  that  is 
used  for  one  prohibition  can  be  used  for 
the  other — and  it  has  been  frankly  said 
by  our  opponents  that  they  hope  to  see 
the  time  come  when  no  plant  or  nursery 
stock  shipments  shall  be  allowed  pas- 
sage in  interstate  trade.  You  can  imag- 
ine what  such  a  plan  would  mean  to  the 
horticultural  trade  of  the  United  States. 

Our  committee  has  authority  from  the 
executive  committee  of  the  S.  A.  F.  to 
oppose  this  measure  and  in, cooperation 
with  the  nurserymen  will  exercise  that 
power  for  the  best  interests  of  our 
members. 


Report  of  William  F.  Glide  ns  chairman  of  the 
S  \  F  conimittee  on  tariff  and  legislation, 
presented  at   the  New  York  convention. 


Licensed  Firemen. 

Bequests  for  aid  have  come  from  sev- 
eral states  in  the  effort  to  prevent  leg- 
islation going  into  effect  requiring  the 
service  of  licensed  firemen  and  engi- 
neers on  low-pressure  boilers  in  small 
greenhouse  establishments.  That  would 
legislate  many  small  growers  out  of  ex- 
istence. More  than  100  such  bills  are 
now  pending  in  the  different  states,  and 
it  is  impossible  for  your  committee  to 
handle  all  of  them.  The  matter  was 
referred  to  the  executive  committee  for 
action,  although  the  remedy  must  come 
from  the  growers  in  the  affected  states 
through  their  representatives. 

War  Duties. 

In  last  May's  war  revenue  measures, 
the  Ways  and  Means  committee  of  the 
House  proposed  a  straight  additional 
ten  per  cent  ad  valorem  duty  on  all  im- 
ports, and  it  was  embodied  in  the  bill 
passed  by  the  House.  The  imposition 
of  an  ad  valorem  duty  to  items  already 
dutiable  on  a  specific  basis  would  renew 
many  old  abuses  and  make  the  importa- 
tion of  many  of  the  finer  varieties  pro- 
hibitive. While  not  objecting  to  an  in- 
creased duty,  your  committee  demanded 
a  specific  increase  on  items  at  present 
dutiable  on  a  specific  basis,  and  failing 
to  get  redress  from  the  Ways  and 
Means  committee  of  the  House,  it  was 
taken  to  the  Senate  Finance  committee, 
where  the  whole  tariff  increase  failed 
of  passage. 

Express   Labels. 

In  MarcH  last,  a  number  of  members 
of  the  S.  A.  F.  executive  committee,  to- 
gether with  Max  Schling,  of  New  York, 
had  a  lengthy  interview  with  the  vice- 
presidents  and  general  managers  of  the 
Adams  Express  Co.,  American  Express 
Co.  and  the  Wells,  Targo  Express  Co. 
in  reference  to  effecting  a  more  expedi- 
tious handling  of  cut  flowers.  As  that 
was  on  the  eve  of  the  great  railroad 
strike,  we  did  not  make  much  headway, 
but  the  officials  all  announced  them- 
selves as  being  anxious  to  help  expe- 
dite the  florists'  business  and  transmis- 
sion of  flowers  by  express  in  every  way 
possible.  Subsequently,  through  the  in- 
defatigable efforts  of  Max  Schling,  of 
New  York,  the  express  companies  al- 
lowed us  to  use  the  following  label, 
which,  no  doubt,  in  our  mind,  will  do 
much  toward  facilitating  delivery  of 
express  packages: 

FLOWERS  HIGHLY    PERISHABLE 

IMPORTANT   NOTICE 
EXPRESS  AGENT: 

If  immediate  delivery  of  this  package  cannot 
be  effected,  communicate  with  consignee  by  tele- 
phone or  otherwise,  advising  of  arrival  of  ship- 
ment, and  say  why  immediate  delivery  cannot  be 
made.  Your  assistance  in  expediting  delivery 
■will  be  appreciated. 

This  label  is  approved  by  E.  M.  Williams, 
vice-president  Adams  Express  Co.;  T>.  S.  El- 
liot, vice-president  American  Express  Co.;  F. 
S.  Holbrook,  vice-president  Wells,  Fargo  Ex- 
press Co. 

Express   Claims. 

Under  date  of  July  6,  we  received 
complaints  from  several  large  cut  flower 
shippers  (including  a  complaint  from 
tlie  Leo  Xiessen  Co.,  of  Philadelphia, 
through  our  secretary,  John  Young) 
that  the  express  companies  were  about 
to   claim,  tlirough  the  Interstate   Com- 


merce Commission,  that  a  24-hour  delay 
on  cut  flowers  and  plants  would  not  be 
unreasonable.  This  was  referred  to 
your  chairman  at  Washington,  who  im- 
mediately took  the  matter  up  with  the 
Interstate  Commerce  Commission 
through  Mr.  Fishback,  who  was  former- 
ly confidential  secretary  to  the  Inter- 
state Commerce  Commission,  and  there- 
fore especially  qualified  to  handle  such 
matters,  with  the  following  results: 

July  16,    1917. 
Win.   F.   Gude, 

1214  F   Street,   N.    W., 
Washington,  D.  C. 

Dear  Mr.  Gude:  Referring  to  the  communica- 
tion which  you  submitted  to  me,  from  the  secre- 
tary of  the  Society  of  Florists,  I  have  talked 
with  the  oflScial  of  the  commission  having  im- 
mediate charge  of  matters  relating  to  rates  and 
regulations  of  express  companies.  He  states 
that  no  communication  has  come  to  his  hands  re- 
questing a  ruling  by  the  commission  In  regard 
to  the  subject  of  claims  for  delays  to  flowers  in 
transit.  1  will  have  the  officials  go  further  into 
the  question,  and  have  explained  that  the  law 
confers  no  authority  upon  the  commission  to 
make  a  ruling  of  the  character  suggested,  name- 
ly that  twenty-four  hours  is  not  unreasonable 
delay  to  cut  flowers;  that  the  question  of  what 
is  unreasonable  must  be  determined  on  the  facts 
in  each  case,  and  if  the  shipper  and  express 
company  cannot  agree  on  the  subject  of  a  par- 
ticular claim,  the  question  must  be  settled  In 
the  courts.  Therefore,  where  a  controversy 
arises  over  a  particular  shipment  as  to  dam- 
ages caused  by  delay,  and  the  carrier  denies 
liability,  no  rule  that  the  Interstate  Commerce 
Commission  miglit  lay  down  could  bind  the  court 
in  Its  decision  on  the  facts  presented  in  a  suit. 
The  commission  has  always  avoided  expressing 
opinions  concerning  questions  which  it  would 
not  authoritatively  decide  if  presented  in  a  for- 
mal proceeding  before  it,  and  it  is  perfectly  ob- 
vious that  it  would  decline  to  do  so  in  the  case 
mentioned  in  the  letter  received  by  you  from 
the  secretary  of  the  Society  of  Florists.  The 
commission  acts  within  its  province,  and  Con- 
gress has  not  conferred  power  upon  it  to  pass 
upon  or  adjust  claims  for  loss,  damage  or  delay 
in  transit.  Those  are  claims  which  the  courts 
alone  have  authority  to  determine. 

If  any  express  company  should  propose  a  rule 
by  tariff  publication,  I  will  keep  In  touch  with 
the  situation  In  such  a  way  as  to  be  immediately 
informed,  and  will  take  such  actions  as  neces- 
sary to  secure  suspension  of  the  proposed  rule, 
although  I  am  confident  that  no  traffic  official, 
or  legal  advisor  of  express  companies,  would 
expect  to  be  able  to  establish  a  fixed  basis  for 
settlement  of  claims  for  delay  by  traffic  rules  or 
regulations.  They  could  have  no  force  In  law. 
as  the  courts  would  still  use  their  own  judg- 
ment, and  proceed  as  now  to  liear  and  determine 
causes  of  this  character,  without  regard  to  any 
rule  or  regulation  published  in  tariffs  of  the 
express    companies. 

Yours    very    truly, 

J.  H.  Fishback. 

P.S. — A  peculiar  duty  rests  upon  express  com- 
panies in  transporting  cut  flowers,  these  being 
a  highly  perishable  commodity,  and  they  may  not 
absolve  themselves  from  liability  unless  thay 
have  strong  justification. 

July  17,   1917. 
W.   F.    Gude, 

1214  F  Street,   N.  W., 
Washington,  D.  C. 

Dear  Sir:  1  have  conferred  further  at  the 
office  of  the  commission  with  regard  to  the  at- 
tempt of  express  company  officials  to  avoid  pay- 
ment of  claims  for  damage  due  to  delay  where 
the  delay  does  not  exceed  twenty-four  hours.  I 
now  find  that  shippers  have  communicated  with 
the  commission  informing  it  they  had  been  ad- 
vised of  this  position  of  claim  agents  or  other 
officials  of  the  express  companies,  principally 
the  Adams  Express  Co.,  I  understand,  but  this 
had  reference  more  particularly  to  non-perish- 
able property,  and  not  to  cut  flowers,  and  was 
due  to  the  fact  that  owing  to  operating  condi- 
tions on  railroads,  traffic  congestion  and  conges- 
tion of  terminals,  etc.,  which  have  existed  for 
many  months,  the  movement  of  trains  and  de- 
livery of  property  has  been  interfered  with  and 
delayed. 

However,  as  I  have  explained,  the  commission 
has  made  no  ruling  on  the  subject,  and  it  is  not 
within  its  province  to  do  so,  as  the  liability  of 
carriers  for  delay  must  be  determined  on  the 
facts  in  each  case,  nnd  where  the  carrier  denies 
liability,  the  question  can  be  settled  alone  in 
the  courts  upon  the  facts  presented.  If  any 
claims  on  cut  flowers  are  declined  on  the  basis 
explained  to  me,  they  should  be  taken  un 
with  the  chief  executive  officials,  or  by  suit  in 
tlie    courts. 

Yours    very    truly. 

J.    H.    Fishback.

The  Florists' Review 


Embargo  on  Valley  Pips. 

Last  fall  your  committee  was  ap- 
pealed to  by  various  large  importers 
about  getting  their  lily  of  the  valley 
pips  from  Copenhagen  into  the  United 
States.  After  many  conferences  and 
long  delays,  we  were  advised  by  the 
Department  of  State  that  the  majority 
of  valley  pips  in  Copenhagen  were  not 
grown  in  Denmark,  but  were  German- 
grown  and,  therefore,  the  British  au- 
thorities were  not  inclined  to  let  them 
come  through. 

Importation  of  Azaleas. 

Last  fall  much  time  was  consumed 
between  the  German  and  British  em- 
bassies and  the  State  Department  in 
endeavoring  to  have  the  embargo  raised 
on  azaleas  and  other  stock  from  the 
Ghent  district  on  shipments  into  the 
United  States  from  Belgian  growers. 
This  seemed  to  be  an  insurmountable 
problem,  and  we  had  practically  given 
up  hope  of  getting  the  azaleas  and 
other  stock  in,  when  we  were  advised 
that  owing  to  a  misunderstanding  be- 
tween the  counselors  in  London  and 
Berlin,  the  azaleas  had  been  held  up,  in 
error.  And,  when  this  misunderstand- 
ing was  rectified,  the  azaleas  came 
through. 

In  reference  to  the  shipment  of  aza- 
leas and  rhododendrons  this  year,  we  beg 
to  advise  that  we  have  taken  the  mat- 
ter up  with  the  State  Department  and 
under  date  of  August  2,  1917,  we  were 
assured  that  so  far  as  the  department 
knows  there  have  been  no  restrictions 
or  laws  changed  since  1916  by  which 
azaleas  have  been  permitted  to  come  in, 
and  payment  made  to  the  Belgian  Bank 
in  London.  Our  committee,  however, 
feels  that  until  war  conditions  change 
in  Belgium,  no  azaleas  or  other  stock 
can  come  into  the  United  States  from 
that  country. 

Fumigation  of  Orchids. 

In  May  last,  several  communications 
were  received  from  the  Orchid  Grow- 
ers' Association  to  have  an  interview 
with  the  Department  of  Agriculture  as 
to  the  fumigation  of  orchids,  which, 
some  of  the  growers  claim,  was  so  det- 
rimental to  the  plants  that  some  had 
been  killed.  We  took  the  matter  up 
promptly  with  the  Federal  Horticul- 
tural Board  May  27  and  were  told 
that  the  fumigation  of  newly  imported 
orchids  had  been  suspended  until  May  31 
to  see  what  effect  the  fumigation  would 
have.  Subsequently,  we  have  been  told 
that  the  fumigation  orders  have  been 
modified  so  far  as  orchids  were  con- 
cerned until  they  are  now  being  fumi- 
gated without  detriment  to  the  plants. 

Embargo  on  Baffia. 

Early  in  the  European  war  the 
French  government  placed  an  embargo 
on  all  raffia  exported  from  the  island 
of  Madagascar.  The  importers  became 
interested  and  were  anxious  to  have  the 
embargo  lifted.  We  took  the  matter  up 
with  the  State  Department  and  after 
many  interviews  and  cablegrams  (paid 
for  by  James  McHutchison,  of  Xew 
York  city)  we  were  advised  August  1 
that  the  embargo  had  been  lifted  by  the 
French  government,  and  raffia  is  now 
coming  in  as  before. 

Coal. 

Under  date  of  August  9,  we  received 
a  communication  from  Philadelphia  in 
reference  to  the  coal  situation  which 
seemed  to  agitate  many  of  our  members. 
We    immediately    took    the    matter    up 


Anders  Rasmussen. 

(Clialrman  of  the  Coniiuittoe  on  Wind  Storm  Insui-ancc.) 


with  the  director  of  the  Geological  Sur- 
vey, who  submits  the  following: 

For  your  information  I  would  say  that  blanks 
exactly  similar  to  those  mailed  the  florists  have 
been  sent  to  many  other  industries,  among  the 
larger  of  which  are  flour  mills,  breweries,  steam 
railroads,  municipal  gas  works,  automobiles  and 
automobile  motors.  In  all,  more  than  16,000 
blanks  have  been  mailed  out  requesting  infor- 
mation on  these  points.  Only  the  limit  of  the 
clerical  force  available  has  prevented  the  can- 
vass of  an  even  greater  number  of  industries. 
The  object  of  the  investigation  is  primarily  to 
secure  specific  information  on  the  consumption 
and  storage  of  coal  in  order  that  the  proper 
governmental  agencies  may  be  able  to  act  in- 
telligently   on    any    situation    which    may    arise. 

I  wish  to  take  this  opportunity  of 
thanking  every  member  of  our  commit- 
tee for  willing  assistance  rendered 
whenever  the  occasion  required,  espe- 
cially since  James  McHutchison,  who 
is  most  thoroughly  versed  in  all  these 
matters,  has  been  untiring  in  bringing 
about  the  desired  results  for  our  or- 
ganization. 


SCHOOL  GARDENS. 

[Report  of  Renjamin  Ilaniniond  as  chairman  of 
the  school  garden  committee,  presented  at  the 
New  York  convention.] 

The   year   1917   will  go   down   in   his- 
tory   as    a    special    year    of    gardens, 
for  gardens  are  no  longer  regarded  as  of 
no  account  and  suitable  only  for  labor- 
ing people   to   attend   to.     Tlie   Society 
of    American    Florists    lias    for    several 
years   been    encouraging    the    efforts    to 
"teach  the  school  children  of  the  country 
about   garden   cultivation.      The   florist, 
wherever  he  may  be,  usually  has  prem- 
ises that  are  a  model  for  tidiness  and 
beauty,  and  an  example  that  people  of 
good  taste  love  to  follow.    The  fact  that 
from    one    end    of    the    country    to    the 
other,  we  have  sent  each  spring  a  well- 
illustr.ated     circular     letter     to     school 
authorities  in  every  town  or  city  that 


has     a     member     of     the      S.     A.     F. 
has     had      its      effect,     judging     from 
the    correspondence    that    has    come    to 
liand   therefrom.     It  would   be  difficult 
to  name  any  city  or  town  of  prominence 
but  what  is  giving  attention  to  school 
gardening.     The  city  of  Grand  Kapids, 
Mich.,  has  issued  one  of  the  best  circu- 
lars that  we  have  seen.     Chicago,  111., 
in  various  parts  of  the  city,  has  made  it 
a  point  to  instruct  the  children.    On  the 
Pacific    coast    the    movement    has    ex- 
tended from  San  Diego,  Cal.,  to  Tacoma, 
Wash.,    and    much    attention    has    been 
given  this  work.     Poughkeepsie,  N.  Y., 
has  been  one  of  the  leaders  in  the  work. 
Boston,  Mass.,   which  has  always  been 
a  thrifty  town  from  the  time  it  was  first 
settled,  keeps  up  the  good  work.     Cleve- 
land, O.,  Philadelphia  and   Wilkes-Bar- 
re.  Pa.,  Buffalo,   N.   Y.;  Cincinnati,   O., 
Denver,  Colo. — and  so  we  may  go  on  in- 
definitely,   and    what    at    first    was    re- 
garded   sometimes    as   a    fad    in    school 
studies  has  spread  from  end  to  end  of 
the  United   States,   and  the   last   year, 
owing    to    the    conditions    arising    from 
the  destruction  now  going  on  in  Europe, 
it  has  brought  a  realization  of  the  prac- 
tical value  of  the  little  garden  that  en- 
gaged the  thoughts  of  the   ablest   men 
of  the  nation.     President   Wilson   espe- 
cially laid  stress  on  tlie  desirability  of 
this  work.    As  your  committee,  we  have 
followed   up  the    work   and   we   believe 
that  the  florists  in  every  town  where  one 
is  located  can  be  a  lighthouse  showing 
wliat  can  be  done,  not  only  with  flowers, 
but   with   vegetables,   to  the   benefit  of 
their   communities,  and  will   fix  in   this 
country     a     desire     for     gardens — both 
plants   and   flower.s — to   an   extent  that 
will  remain  a  permanent  benefit  to  their 
business.

Embargo  on  Valley  Pips. 

Last  fall  your  coininittce  was  ap- 
pealed to  by  various  larj^e  importers 
about  i^^atting  their  lily  of  the  valley 
jiijis  from  Coi)ciihaj,'oii  into  the  United 
^(ates.  After  many  eonferences  and 
]ini'^  delays,  "vvc  were  advised  by  the 
Dejiartnieiit  of  State  that  tlie  majority 
,,r  \alley  jiips  in  Copeiihajien  were  not 
niowii  ill  Denmark,  I)iit  were  (Jerman- 
;.ro\vn  and,  therefore,  tiie  Britisli  au- 
thorities were  not  intdineil  to  let  them 
come  through. 

Importation  of  Azaleas. 

T>ast  fall  iiiueh  time  was  consumed 
licfween  tlie  (Jernian  and  Uritisli  em- 
bassies and  the  State  Department  in 
endeavoring  to  have  tlie  embargo  raised 
on  a/.aleas  and  other  sto(dv  from  the 
Client  distriet  on  shipments  into  the 
United  .States  from  Htdgiau  growers. 
This  seemed  to  be  an  insurmouutabb" 
jiroblem,  and  we  liad  i)raetieallv  given 
up  ho])e  of  getting  the  a/.aleas  and 
other  stock  in,  when  we  were  ;idvised 
that  owing  to  a  misunderstanding  lie- 
tweeii  the  coiinsidors  in  Lombur  and 
Jierlin,  the  azaleas  Iiad  ))een  held  up,  in 
eiror.  And,  when  this  misunderstand- 
ing was  rectified,  the  azaleas  came 
tlirougli. 

In  refcM'cnce  to  the  sbipnu-nt  of  aza- 
leas and  rhododendrons  this  year,  we  be"- 
to  ailvise  that  we  have  taken  the  mat" 
ter  uj.  with  the  State  De|iartment  and 
under  date  of  August  2,  l!»]7,  we  were 
assured  that  so  far  as  the  department 
knows  there  have  l)eeii  no  i-estrict  ions 
or  laws  changed  since  JiMO  by  wlii<di 
azaleas  have  l)een  iierniitted  to  come  in, 
and  i.ayment  made  to  the  Belgian  Bank 
in  London.  Our  committee,  Jiowever, 
feels  that  until  war  conditions  change 
in  Belgium,  no  azaleas  or  other  stock 
can  come  into  the  United  States  from 
that  country. 

Tumigation  of  Orchids. 
In  May  last,  several  communications

THERE  have  been  many  problems 
submitted  to  me  during  the  last 
twelve  months,  some  of  them  un- 
usual and  only  affecting  one  or 
more  individuals  of  the  organiza- 
tion, other  matters  of  vital  im- 
portance affecting,  more  or  less,  all  of 
our  members.  Many  of  these  matters 
are  handled  by  your  Washington  rep- 
resentative to  the  best  of  his  ability  by 
the  liberal  use  of  telephone  messages 
and  friends  at  court,  and  thus  are  easily 
and  satisfactorily  disposed  of.  Other 
questions  take  months  of  time  and  much 
correspondence.  Still  others  are  mat- 
ters for  the  committee  on  tariff  and  leg- 
islation. 

Botanic  Garden. 

Since  my  last  report,  when  the  society 
went  on  record  as  favoring  the  main- 
tenance of  the  United  States  Botanic 
Garden  in  its  present  location,  I  am 
happy  to  state  that  through  the  inde- 
fatigable efforts  of  Hon.  Jacob  H.  Gal- 
linger,  United  States  senator  from  New 
Hampshire,  a  bill  has  passed  the  Senate 
authorizing  the  acquisition  of  the  two 
government  reservations  lying  just 
west  of  the  garden,  known  as  East  and 
West  Seaton  parks.  This  addition 
would  materially  increase  the  area  of 
the  Botanic  Garden.  It  is  hoped  that 
the  measure  may  soon  become  a  law, 
for  if  the  people  throughout  the  country 
could  but  witness  the  thousands  of  vis- 
itors from  all  parts  of  the  world  who 
visit  tlie  Botanic  Garden  annually,  there 
surely  would  be  no  hesitancy  in  enlarg- 
ing the  garden  at  once.  During  the  last 
season,  there  has  been  much  of  special 
interest  to  attract  the  citizens  of  Wash- 
ington and  the  tens  of  thousands  of  vis- 
itors to  the  Botanic  Garden.  Our  daily 
press  has  been  most  liberal  in  exploit- 
ing the  educational  advantages  of  the 
Botanic  Garden  and  its  influence  for 
good  to  the  public  in  general.  Our  ge- 
nial, whole-souled  superintendent  and 
fellow-director,  George  W.  Hess,  is  ever 
to  the  front  in  aiding  and  pushing  that 
which  seems  best  for  the  uplift  and  ed- 
ucation of  all  mankind  for  the  more 
beautiful  in  life,  and  it  is  our  sincere 
hope  that  the  additions  asked  for  from 
Congress  may  be  granted  ere  long. 

Bose  Gardens. 

Tlio  rose  gardens  at  Arlington  Farms 
have  made  material  progress  since  my 
last  report.  About  100  varieties  have 
been  added  to  the  coliections  and  the 
gardens  as  a  whole  are  improving  in 
appearance.  The  winter  of  191(5-17  was 
especiallv  hard  on  the  tea  and  hybrid 
tea  roses  and  they  did  not  look  as  well 
in  the  earlv  spring  as  in  previous  years, 
but  thev  have  since  grown  vigorously 
and  have  bloomed  well  during  the  sea- 
son. It  has  been  necessary  to  do  some 
rearranging  in  the  gardens  to  ])rovide 
more  room  for  several  types.  Additional 
trellises  have  been  erected  to  accommo- 
date the  increasing  numbers  of  climb- 
ing roses.  It  was  found  that  tlie  rugo- 
sas  were  too  crowded  for  satisfactory 
development;      so      one-half      of     them 

This  is  tho  roport  of  William  F.  Glide,  Waali- 
i„Kto„  rri>n.s.M.tativ..  of  the  S.  A.  F.,  presented 
at    the    New    York    eonvention. 


were  taken  out  and  placed  in  a  new  bed 
in  order  to  give  chance  for  develop- 
ment. The  older  climbing  roses  on  the 
outside  fence  and  the  arches  added 
greatly  to  the  interest  and  appearance 
of  the  gardens  this  season.  A  large  num- 
ber of  visitors  inspected  the  gardens 
every  week  and  June  4  an  outdoor  meet- 
ing of  the  American  Eose  Society, 
which  was  largely  attended,  was  held 
in  the  garden. 

Peonies  and  Chrysanthemums. 

A  peony  garden  in  cooperation  with 
the  American  Peony  Society  has  been 
established,  more  than  400  varieties 
having  been  planted  last  fall.  They  are 
making  good  growth,"  and  in  a  year  or 
two  this  garden  promises  to  be  inter- 
esting to  flower  lovers.  The  iris  collec- 
tion of  250  varieties  has  been  increased 
by  a  number  of  unnamed  seedlings. 

The  hardy  chrysanthemum  collection 
now  includes  about  1,000  varieties.  An 
attempt  has  been  made  to  make  a  spe- 
cial collection  of  the  most  desirable 
kinds  for  this  section,  with  the  expecta- 
tion of  eliminating  other  varieties  from 
the  collection  as  these  selections  prove 
themselves  to  be  good.  The  object  of 
the  work  with  chrysanthemums  is  to 
find  a  few  good  early  hardy  varieties  as 
bases  for  breeding  others  which  may  be 
relied  upon  for  outdoor  growth  in  more 
northern  sections  of  the  country  with- 
out protection — varieties  that  would  be 
suitable  for  the  grounds  of  the  ordinary 
suburbanite  or  a  farm  home  where  in- 
tensive culture  and  much  special  care 
are  impossible.     There  are  growing  this 


year  5,000  seedlings,  from  which  it  is 
hoped  to  get  a  few  to  bloom  earlier  than 
the  average  of  the  large  collection. 

Some  work  is  also  being  done  in  the 
breeding  of  carnations,  and  on  some  of 
the  problems  in  connection  with  the 
propagation  of  roses. 

U.   S.   Doing  Good  Work, 

I  again  wish  to  draw  the  attention  of 
members  to  the  splendid  work  the  De- 
partment of  Agriculture  at  Washington 
is  doing  for  the  benefit  of  horticulture 
and  floriculture  in  general,  not  only  in 
the  outdoor  work  of  the  garden,  but  also 
in  the  forcing  and  propagating  lines  in 
the  greenhouse  of  the  Experime(ntal 
Gardens  and  in  the  grounds  on  the  Mall, 
where  all  manner  of  new  plants  are  be- 
ing propagated  and  tried  out.  E.  M. 
Byrnes,  the  able  superintendent  of  the 
houses  and  grounds,  is  ever  ready  to 
assist  in  giving  information  to  anyone 
seeking  it. 

The  annual  chrysanthemum  exhibi- 
tion, held  October  30  to  November  5, 
1916,  was  attended  by  many  thousands 
of  visitors,  and  as  in  the  past  since 
these  exhibitions  have  been  held,  does 
much  towards  encouraging  the  growing 
of  flowers  by  individuals. 

The  last  year  in  the  florists'  business 
in  Washington  has  been  good  and  profit- 
able to  grower,  wholesaler  and  retailer, 
notwithstanding  the  fact  that  since 
our  last  meeting  our  own  United  States 
of  America  has  been  drawn  into  this 
horrible  war,  and  the  demand  for  money 
and  men,  already  heavy,  bids  fair  to  be 
heavier.  Yet  the  future  for  our  busi- 
ness looks  bright.  The  work  in  connec- 
tion with  representing  this  large,  influ- 
ential association  is  an  honor  of  which 
any  man  should  be  exceedingly  proud. 
I  wish  to  reassure  every  fellow-member 
that  I  fully  appreciate  the  honor,  and  I 
tender  my  grateful  thanks  to  all  who 
have  willingly  rendered  assistance  for 
the  benefit  of  the  S.  A.  F.

THE  NATIONAL  SHOW 


\irASxir?ivirrsviri«\irirstir)«\irif8vir«tir?svir)rstirrsvir^^ 


T  N  submitting  my  report  to  the  con- 
A  vention,  I  wish  briefly  to  touch  upon 
the  objects  of  the  National  Flower 
Show,  which,  it  is  understood  by  the 
committee  from  instructions  received 
at  the  various  conventions,  are  to  pro- 
mote horticulture  in  all  its  branches  and 
to  make  the  show  self-sustaining,  the 
idea  of  profit  being  a  secondary  con- 
sideration. 

It  is  my  opinion  that  the  time  will 
soon  be  at  hand,  if  it  is  not  now,  when 
the  National  Flower  Show  and  the  an- 
nual convention  of  the  S.  A.  F.  should 
be  held  together  in  the  spring.  Statis- 
tics kept  by  the  secretary  show  that  the 
attendance  at  the  National  Flower 
Shows  by  the  members  of  our  society 
is  three  times  as  great  as  at  the  con- 
ventions. It  is  also  a  natural  buying 
season  and  the  exhibitor  finds  the  florist 
visitor  at  the  convention  in  a  mood  for 
buying. 

There  are  not  many  buildings  in  the 
country  large  enougli  to  stage  the  exlii- 
bition  as  carried  on  now  by  the  commit- 
tee. In  the  city  of  St.  Louis,  where  we 
go  next  spring,  we  were  forced  to  lease 
ground  adjacent  to  the  Sliriners'  tem- 
]ilo,  to  erect  a  temporary  structure  to 
stage  our  show,  but  there  is  a  move- 
ment in  a  number  of  larger  cities 
to  build  large  convention  lialls,  and  in 
a  few  years  there  will  be  a  number  of 
large  buildings  available  in  cities  where 
the  exhibition  can  be  held. 

Preparations  for  St.   Louis. 

We  are  going  to  the  city  of  St.  Louis, 
as  you  all  know,  next  spring.  There  is 
not  a  large  number  of  big  growers  close 
to  St.  Louis.     Therefore,  our  committee 

Extracts  from  the  report  of  George  Asmus, 
chairman  of  the  National  Flower  Show  commit- 
tee,   prcseiiti'd   at   the   New  York  convention. 


must  look  for  the  support  of  the  grow- 
ers throughout  the  country.  If  the 
committee  does  not  get  this  support,  it 
will  work  a  severe  hardship  on  it,  and 
will  not  reflect  to  the  credit  of  our  so- 
ciety  or   our   business. 

The  American  Rose  Society  will  hold 
its  convention  and  exhibition  in  con- 
nection with  the  show,  and  the  Ameri- 
can Carnation  Society,  which  was  rep- 
resented at  our  last  meeting  in  St.  Louis, 
signified  its  intention  of  making  a  great 
effort  at  the  next  show.  We  were 
greatly  encouraged  also  by  the  Mis- 
souri Botanical  Garden,  commonly 
known  as  Shaw's  gardens.  Mr.  Ohl- 
weiler,  the  director,  assured  me  that  lie 
would  do  everything  possible,  and  if 
necessary  would  move  the  garden  to  our 
exhibition  hall. 

This  is  the  spirit  taken  by  tlie  florists 
in  general  in  St.  Louis,  but  if  this  show 
is  to  be  national  we  ought  to  liave  ex- 
liibits  not  only  from  the  Atlantic  coast, 
but  from  tlie  Pacific  coast  as  well. 

There  was  some  talk,  early  in  the 
preparatory  part  of  the  exhibition, 
about  abandoning  the  show  on  account 
of  the  war.  This  the  committee  unani- 
mously believes  would  be  a  serious  mis- 
take, as  the  motto,  "Business  as  usual," 
has  been  supjilemented  by  "Business  is 
better  than  usual,"  and  as  tliis  is  strict- 
ly a  business  exhibition  our  line  in  par- 
ticular must  keep  in  advance  of  the 
times. 

Location  Is  Ideal. 

The  committee  was  fortunate  in  secur- 
ing a  location  that  compares  somewhat 
to  the  one  at  the  recent  Philadelphia 
show,  being  on  the  principal  boulevard, 
in  the  heart  of  the  city  and  adjacent  to 
four  of  the  most  prominent  car  lines 
in    the    city.      Also   it    is   the    principal 


drive,  surrounded  by  some  of  the  finest 
homes  in  St.  Louis.  There  also  is  a 
triangular  park  space  belonging  to  the 
city  immediately  in  front  of  the  build- 
ing, which  the  park  commissioners  have 
promised  to  plant  according  to  the 
wishes   of   our  committee. 

We  are  much  encouraged  by  the  spirit 
shown  us  by  the  St.  Louis  Florists' 
Club  and  its  members.  The  dates  for 
the  show  are  April  6  to  15,  1918,  inclu- 
sive, giving  us  ten  full  show  days,  as 
the  laws  of  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  allow  exhibi- 
tions open  on  Sunday.  The  weather  in 
St.  Louis  at  this  time  of  the  year,  sta- 
tistics show,  is  delightful  and  quite 
warm. 

The  lot  leased  by  the  committee  is 
150x350  feet,  and  is  now  leveled  off  and 
being  seeded.  We  have  also  contracted 
for  an  ornamental  electric  light  bill- 
board to  be  placed  there,  which  will 
be  in  operation  this  week.  The  bill- 
board shows  the  proposed  building  and 
announces  to  the  public  the  contem- 
plated show.  Every  effort  is  being 
made  by  the  committee,  which  is  com- 
posed of  L.  P.  Jensen,  head  gardener 
of  the  Busch  estate,  Mr.  Strehle,  super- 
intendent of  parks  in  St.  Louis,  and  Mr. 
Baumann,  landscape  architect,  to  have 
a  planting  of  shrubbery,  flower  beds, 
etc.;  to  make  this  ornamental,  as  well 
as  attractive.  There  is  no  doubt  that 
in  the  eight  months  this  board  will  be 
up  it  will  give  great  publicity,  and 
nearly  all  of  the  St.  Louis  people  will 
know   of    the    enterprise. 

We  have  also  started  a  publicity  cam- 
paign, the  first  of  which  appeared  in 
the  leading  papers  last  week  in  the  way 
of  editorials  tommenting  on  the  enter- 
prise. 

The  Moolah  Temple. 

Moolah  Tenii)lc  is  one  of  St.  Louis' 
most  beautiful  structures,  consisting  of 
two  large  auditoriums.  We  intend  to 
place  the  trade  exhibit  in  the  hall  on 
the  main  floor,  it  being  without  doubt 
ideal  for  that  i)urpose.  On  the  upper 
floor  it  is  tlio  intention  of  the  committee 
to  stage  tlie  retail  florists'  exhibits, 
using  the  large  stage  for  effective  deco- 
ration and  sjiecial  features.  Tliere  is 
a  balcony  in  this  hall  which  will  seat 
1,500  people,  thus  jiroviding  a  resting 
l)lace  where  a  good  view  can  be  had 
of  this  exhibit.  Connected  with  this  is 
another  hall,  40x125  feet,  wliich  will  be 
used  for  lectures.  The  public  at  the 
past  shows  has  shown  a  great  interest 
ill  tlie  lectures,  and  it  is  the  intention 
of  the  committee  to  run  tiiem  more  fre- 
quently during  the  exhibition.  The  hall 
has  been  designed  expressly  for  this 
purpose.  Immediately  to  the  left  and 
right  (if  each  entrance  are  office  rooms, 
one  of  which  can  be  used  by  the  secre- 
tary and  officers  of  the  Society  of  Amer- 
ican Florists,  the  other  for  the  show 
committee  iuid  for  press  work.  There 
are  also  suitable  jdaces  for  the  meetings 
of  the  society  and,  in  fact,  for  any  of 
tlie  auxiliary  organizations  to  hold  their 
meetings  or  conventions. 

All  tilings  considered,  tlie  committee 
thinks  that  it  has  the  best  cqui{)ment 
for  conducting  the  show  and  convention 
that  it  ever  had.  The  cost  of  the  erec- 
tion of  the  temporary  building  used  for 
the  main  exhibit,  it  is  estimated,  will 
compare  favorably  with  what  has  lieen 
paid  in  the  jiast  for  rental,  and  there 
are  good  prospects  of  leasing  to  the 
automobile  yicojile  for  their  exhibition 
and  to  the  Good  Koads  convention.  Also 
there     are     several     other     exhibitions,

The  Florists'  Review 


August  23,  1917. 


which  we  liope  te  secure  and  receive 
rental   from. 

Tlie  committee  has  arranged  to  have 
several  leads  of  water  pipe  run  through 
the  grounds,  with  three  or  four  outlets. 
This  will  enable  us  to  thoroughly  water 
without  any  damage,  and  also  to  keep 
all  dust  and  dirt  off  the  exhibits.  It  is 
the  intention  of  the  committee  to  design 
this  in  a  beautiful  vista  effect  with 
rose  gardens  and  groupings  of  foliage 
and  flowering  plants,  and  with  the  help 
and  support  of  the  florists'  trade  this 
ought  to  be,  indeed,  a  wonderful  spec- 
tacle to  view. 

In  a  short  time  the  committee 
will  gather  in  St.  Louis  to  appoint  the 
working  committees,  and  open  the  oflSce 
and  start  the  publicity  campaign  in 
earnest. 

The  second  preliminary  schedule  has 
been  sent  out  by  Secretary  John  Young, 
and  it  is  hoped  that  this  will  receive 
the  consideration  of  the  growers 
throughout  the  country.  I  wish,  once 
more,  to  impress  upon  the  trade  the  Im- 
portance of  supporting  your  committee 
in  doing  the  work. 

Conflicting  Dates. 

Just  a  word  to  the  promoters  of  flower 
shows  throughout  the  country.  There  is 
a  likelihood  in  the  near  future  of  a 
clashing  of  dates  of  large  shows  in  this 


country.  It  would  be  better  for  all  con- 
cerned if  exhibitions  could  be  ar- 
ranged as  the  automobile  trade  does 
now,  by  allotment  of  dates.  It  brings 
a  liardship  upon  the  exhibitors,  both  in 
the  trade  and  in  the  premium  classes, 
when  the  shows  conflict.  Also,  where 
an  out-of-town  attendance  is  looked  for, 
it  would  avoid  having  a  number  of 
prominent  exhibitors  and  trades'  people 
absent  by  attending  a  show  in  another 
locality. 

At  the  present  time,  the  only  large 
spring  exhibition  that  we  know  of  next 
year  is  in  New  York,  and  as  the  dates 
are  fixed  from  March  14  to  21,  just 
prior  to  Easter,  it  will  be  seen  that  there 
will  be  no  conflict  there.  Thus  it  can  be 
seen  by  arrangement  there  need  be  no 
conflict  of  the  dates  of  exhibitions. 

Several  times  in  the  past,  an  instance 
being  last  spring  when  St.  Louis  and 
New  York  exhibitions  were  being  held 
at  about  the  same  dates,  a  number  of 
people  in  the  trade  informed  me  that 
they  were  sorry,  as  they  wished  to  at- 
tend both  shows.  This  also  was  tru^ 
in  the  case  of  the  last  big  fall  show  in 
Cleveland  and  Chicago,  whose  dates 
were   identical. 

I  also  wish  to  call  attention  to  the 
society's  medals  which  are  available  as 
prizes.  We  are  only  too  glad  to  offer 
them  where  demand  is  made  upon  us.

At  the  Houston  convontion  a  year 
ago  sul)S('ri))tions  amounting  to  $634 
wore  roi)orto(l,  making  a  total  of  $1,20;'5 
the  trade  lias  contributed  to  Miss  Jarvis. 
The  second  instalbnent  no  doubt  would 
lia\o  boon  larger  lind  not  the  following 
letter  l)een  j^i\cn  nut   for  ]iublication  in 


a  trade  paper  while  the  S.  A.  F.  com- 
mittee was  soliciting  contributions: 

We  wish  to  call  the  attention  of  the  trade,  and 
all  other  persons  using  or  eontemplating  using 
Motliers'  day  for  commercial  purposes,  that  the 
name  and  emblem  of  Mothers'  day  cannot  be 
used  on  any  printed  matter  or  articles  for  sale. 
These  have  been  copyrighted  and  trademarked 
to  protect  the  Mothers'  day  movement  from 
commercialism,  which  is  breaking  it  down  on 
its  established  lines. 

Florists  have  reaped  a  rich  harvest  through  the 
sale  of  Mothers'  day  flowers  (while  we  have  been 
lamentably  handicapped  for  real  necessities  with 
which  to  carry  on  our  work),  and  we  must  enter 
our  serious  objections  to  their  invading  the 
printing  field,  and  infringing  upon  the  legal 
rights  which  are  used  generally  for  protection 
of  printed  matter. 

Annually  we  issue  an  official  poster,  leaflets. 
Sunday  school  programs  for  the  Mothers'  day 
celebration,  and  it  is  expected  our  friends  will 
use  them,  or  none.  We  must  have  some  way  of 
existing  and  meeting  the  constantly  increasing 
expenses  of  our  work. 

We  feel  if  florists  understood  Mothers'  day 
better  they  would  gladly  cooperate  with  those 
responsible  for  the  development  and  perpetua- 
tion of  the  celebration,  and  we  trust  in  the  near 
future  there  will  be  a  friendly  understanding 
to  this  end.  In  the  meantime,  we  must  ask  that 
the  trade  not  only  withdraw  their  printed  mat- 
ter for  sale  from  the  market,  but  be  good  enough 
friends  to  see  that  any  other  infringers  do  the 
same. 

This  was  over  the  signature  of  the 
Mothers'  Day  ^International  Associa- 
tion, of  which  Miss  Jarvis  is  supposed 
to  be  founder  and  head. 


OBITUARY. 


J.  W.  Goree. 

J.  W.  Goree,  owner  of  a  greenhouse 
range  at  Paris,  Tex.,  died  at  his  home 
in  that  city  August  13  from  a  stroke  of 
apoplexy.  Mr.  Goree  was  taken  sud- 
denly ill  August  11  and  did  not  regain 
consciousness.  He  is  survived  by  his 
wife,  one  son,  John,  and  four  daughters, 
Euth,  Pearl,  Mabel  and  Sarah.  The 
funeral  services  were  held  August  15. 
The  burial  was  in  Evergreen  cemetery. 

Mr.  Goree  was  born  in  Georgia  and 
was  55  years  of  age.  Since  his  boy- 
hood he  had  lived  in  Texas.  He  started 
his  career  as  a  grower  a  number  of 
years  ago  at  Whitewright,  Tex.,  and 
nine  years  ago  moved  to  Paris,  where 
he  erected  a  greenhouse  range.  Addi- 
tions to  his  establishment  were  under 
construction  at  the  time  of  his  death. 
He  recently  had  visited  Chicago  and 
had  purchased  a  large  stock  of  plants 
for  the   new   greenhouses. 


JACOBSEN  DISAPPEARS— REPORT. 

Chicago  detectives  are  attempting  to 
clear  up  the  mysterious  disappearance 
of  John  E.  Jacobsen,  of  Muncie,  Ind., 
according   to    the    newspapers. 

Mr.  Jacobsen  came  to  Chicago  about 
two  weeks  ago  to  purchase  supplies, 
and  August  10  telegraphed  his  wife  to 
expect  him  home  the  next  day.  Since 
then,  the  papers  sav,  she  has  heard 
nothing  from  him  and  fears  he  has  met 
with  foul  play. 


Atlantic  City,  N.  J. — J.  A.  Peterson, 
of  Cincinnati,  with  Mrs.  Peterson  and 
their  daughter,  spent  liere  tlie  week 
preceding   the   S.   A.   F.   convention. 

Cuyahoga  Falls,  O. — A  newcomer  to 
the  trade  hereabouts  is  F.  C.  Wilson, 
who  will  grow  cut  stock  for  wholesale 
and  retail  sales  under  the  name  of 
Stowe  Tavern  Greenhouses. 

Butler,  Pa. — Prosperity  has  found 
lodgment  in  Butler,  for  a  time  at  least, 
and  as  a  result  William  Portmas  finds 
himself  so  cram])od  for  growing  space 
that  the  erection  of  another  house  is 
contemplated.

FLORISTS  FOLLOW  FLAG 


^^iyf^<l^tlt^A-flff^l??^l^ff^lg^ff?^lff^l^ 


HEEDING  THE  BUGLE  CALL. 


Florists  in  Service. 

Florists  everywhere  are  joining  the 
various  military  services  of  the  United 
States,  preparing  to  go  to  the  battle- 
fields of  Europe.  Some  are  in  the 
army  as  privates,  others  are  either 
going  to  the  officers'  training  camps 
or  have  returned  with  commissions, 
while  in  some  cases  they  are  learning 
to  become  aviators.  The  Eeview  will 
be  glad  to  hear  of  those  who  have  for- 
saken the  pursuits  of  peace  for  the 
hazardous  duties  of  a  soldier. 

Learning  to  Fly. 

Walter  Young,  of  the  C.  Young  & 
Sons  Co.,  SI.  Louis,  Mo.,  has  enrolled 
as  a  student  in  the  United  States  Signal 
Corps  at  Austin,  Tex.  He  now  is  in 
the  midst  of  the  preliminary  training 
period,  at  the  end  of  which  he  will  be 
assigned  to  the  aviation  camp  at  the 
Texas   State   University. 

Gets  a  Lieutenancy. 

W.  A.  Elder,  of  the  Lord  &  Burnham 
Cleveland  office,  who  enrolled  as  a  mem- 
ber of  one  of  the  first  officers'  training 
camps,  has  been  commissioned  a  second 
lieutenant.  He  is  on  a  furlough,  but 
expects  within  a  week  to  go  to  Camp 
Sherman,  at  Chillicothe,  O.,  to  assist  in 
training  the  new  army. 

Seeking  a  Commission. 

J.  E.  Cowgill,  of  Canton,  O.,  is  get- 
ting his  business  affairs  in  condition  so 
that  he  can  join  the  second  officers' 
training  camp  at  Fort  Benjamin  Harri- 
son, near  Indianapolis.  Mr.  Cowgill 
spent  several  years  in  the  national 
guard,  and  this  experience,  he  expects, 
will  be  of  great  help  to  him  in  securing 
a  commission. 

Physically  Fit  and  Beady. 

Frank  Eitzenthaler,  of  Knoble  Bros., 
Cleveland,  O.,  has  passed  his  physical 
examination  and  expects  soon  to  be 
called  into  service.  Mr.  Eitzenthaler  is 
one  of  the  best  known  young  men  in 
the  trade  at  Cleveland.  He  is  an  en- 
thusiastic fisherman  and  only  a  few 
weeks  ago  returned  from  a  successful 
battle  with  the  black  bass  in  a  southern 
Ohio  lake.  Consequently,  he  will  un- 
doubtedly enjoy  the  outdoor  life  of  a 
soldier. 

Three  Brothers  May  Go. 

"They  are  all  I've  got,  but  Uncle 
Sam  is  welcome  to  them,"  says  Charles 
W.  Wors,  of  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  regarding 
the  probability  tliat  liis  three  sons  will 
be  in  tlie  service  of  the  country  before 
long.  Joseph  Wors  enlisted  in  the  navy 
some  time  ago  and  is  stationed  at  Bos- 
ton, Mass.;  Charles  Wors,  Jr.,  last  week 
was  accepted  for  the  army,  while 
Arthur  Wors  is  of  military  age  and 
registered,  but  has  not  yet  been  called 
for    pliysical    examination. 

Working  and  Waiting. 

Harry   Schlechter,   of   the   George   H. 


Angermueller  wholesale  house,  St. 
Louis,  Mo.,  laid  off  long  enough  last 
week  to  take  his  physical  examination 
for  the  army.  He  had  been  drafted 
and  did  not  claim  exemption.  After 
the  examiners  told  him  he  was  fit  phys- 
ically and  had  been  accepted,  Mr. 
Schlechter  returned  to  the  store,  and 
is  waiting  the  call  to  the  mobilization 
camp. 

In  Motorcycle  Corps. 

Edward  A.  Manda,  a  son  of  Joseph  A. 
Manda,  West  Orange,  N.  J.,  is  one  of 
the  many  motorcyclists  who  will  speed 
for  Uncle  Sam  in  Europe  when  the 
American  troops  now  in  training  at  Sea- 


£.  A.  Manda  and  His  MouDt. 

girt,  N.  J.,  reach  the  front.  He  is  a 
member  of  the  Twenty-ninth  division 
headquarters  troop.  As  will  be  seen  by 
the  accompanying  illustration,  the  ma- 
chines such  as  Mr.  Manda  drives  are 
supplied  with  places  for  a  second  sol- 
dier. 

Is  Made  a  Captain. 

Joseph  H.  Barnett,  Jr.,  of  Chicago, 
111.,  was  given  a  commission  as  captain 
at  the  conclusion  of  the  three  months 
of  training  at  the  officers'  camp  at  Fort 
Benjamin  Harrison,  near  Indianapolis. 
Mr.  Barnett  studied  horticulture  at  the 
University  of  Illinois,  and  resigned  the 
position  of  city  forester  and  landscape 
gardener  at  Gary,  Ind.,  to  become  an 
army  officer. 

Jared  Moore  a  Soldier. 

One  of  the  members  of  the  trade  who 
did  not  wait  to  be  drafted  into  tlie  army 
is  Jared  B.  Mooro,  son  of  Frank  L. 
Moore,  Chatham,  N.  J.  He  has  enlist- 
ed and  expects  soon  to  be  sent  to 
France. 

Boston  in  Arms. 

At  least  twenty-five  members  of  the 
Gardeners'  and  Florists'  Club  of  Bos- 
ton liave  enlisted  in  the  army  or  have 
been  drafted  up  to  date,  and  the  num- 
ber is  expected  to  reach  fifty.  Among 
others      are      Gordon      Fisher,      nephew 


of  Peter  Fisher,  of  the  Arnold  & 
Fisher  Co.,  Woburn,  Mass.;  Julius 
Snyder,  of  B.  A.  Snyder  &  Co.,  Bos- 
ton; H.  Heckel,  salesman  for  H.  M. 
Eobinson  &  Co.,  Boston;  A.  Erickson, 
of  Budlong's,  Boston;  J.  J.  Comley,  son 
of  N.  F.   Comley,  of  Lexington,  Mass. 

Joins  Hospital  Service. 

Eobert  V.  O'Connor,  of  South  Boston, 
Mass.,  has  quit  the  florists'  business  and 
enlisted  in  the  hospital  service  of  the 
army. 

PRESIDENT  CUTS  COAL  PBICES. 


Reduction  $1  Per  Ton. 

President  Wilson  took  a  hand  in  the 
coal  situation  August  21  and,  by  execu- 
tive order,  cut  the  prices  to  approxi- 
mately $1  per  ton  less  than  the  maxi- 
mums fixed  by  the  Council  of  National 
Defense  and  the  coal  operators  at  their 
conference  June  28.  The  action  was 
taken  under  the  powers  given  the  Presi- 
dent by  the  Lever  bill. 

Ever  since  the  action  of  June  28,  The 
Eeview  has  contended  that  the  prices 
fixed  at  that  time  were  no  reductions, 
but  merely  an  affirmation  of  the  prices 
that  obtained  previous  to  that  time  and 
since  the  coal  operators  got  together 
and  raised  them  January  1.  The  Ee- 
view's  position  brought  protestations 
from  Francis  S.  Peabody,  the  Chicago 
coal  mine  operator,  who  was  the  gov- 
ernment representative  at  the  June  con- 
ference. The  President's  order,  the 
newspaper  reports  of  the  action  say, 
was  a  complete  surprise  to  Mr.  Peabody. 

The  prices  fixed  by  the  President,  he 
announced,  are  based  upon  the  actual 
cost  of  production  and  "are  deemed  to 
be  not  only  fair  and  just,  but  liberal  as 
well."

The  Federal  Trade  Commission,  at  the 
President's  order,  undertook  to  deter- 
mine the  production  costs  in  various 
producing  districts.  This  report  was 
submitted  to  the  President  last  week 
and  the  prices  tentatively  decreed  are 
based  on  these  costs,  plus  a  reasonable 
percentage  of  profit. 


Albion,  Pa. — A  new  boiler  has  been 
installed  at  the  greenhouses  of  the 
Church  Floral  Co.  A  good  crop  of 
cukes  came  in  handy — coal,  delivered, 
was  $.j.8j  per  ton. 

Springfield,  111. — Fire  August  17  de- 
stroyed the  Dome  building  at  the  state 
fair  grounds,  in  which  the  flower  show 
is  staged.  The  loss,  estimated  at  $150,- 
000,  according  to  B.  M.  Davison,  super- 
intendent of  the  department  of  agricul- 
ture, will  not  interfere  with  plans  for 
the  fair,  wliicli  will  ojicn  September  7.

and  it  is  hoped  that  this  will  recei\  e 
the  cousidei'a  tion  ol'  the  ;^ro\vers

Conflicting  Dates. 

Just  a  Word  to  the  jiromoters  ot'  flower 
sliows  tliron<rliout  the  coiiiiti'y.     There  is 

a    lik(dil 1     in     the    ueai'    futui'c    of    a 

clasiiiny  of  dates  of  larL;e  shows  in  this 


country,  it  wduhl  lie  better  for  all  eon 
cerned  if  exhibitions  could  be  ar 
ranged  as  the  automobile  trade  does 
now,  li\-  allot  meiit  of  dates.  It  brinj^s 
a  hardship  upon  the  cxhibitoi's,  both  in 
the  trade  and  in  the  premium  elasses, 
when  the  shows  conllict.  Also,  where 
an  out  lit'  town  attendance  is  looked  for, 
it  would  a\oid  ha\in<^  ;i  number  of 
liiomineiit  exhibitors  and  trades'  peo]ile 
absent  by  atteudiuj;-  a  show  in  another 
locality. 

At  the  present  time,  the  only  large 
spring  exhibition  tliat  wi>  know  of  next 
year  is  in  ^cw  York,  and  as  the  dates 
are  iixed  from  March  14  to  '2\,  just 
jirior  to  I'laster,  it  will  be  seen  that  there 
will  be  no  conflict  there.  Thus  it  can  be 
seen  by  a nangement  tliere  need  be  no 
conflict  of  the  dates  of  exhiljitions. 

Se\-eral  times  in  the  ])ast,  an  instance 
being  last  s]>ring  when  St.  Louis  ami 
\ew  ^'ork  exhibitions  were  being  held 
at  aliont  the  same  dati's,  u  number  of 
peo|)le  in  the  trade  informed  nu'  that 
they  were  sorr,\',  as  they  wished  to  at- 
tend both  shows.  This  also  was  true 
in  the  case  of  the  last  big  fall  show  in 
Clextdand  and  Chicago,  whose  dates 
were    iilentical. 

1  also  wish  to  call  attention  to  the 
societ_\''s  medals  which  are  a\ailable  as 
prizes.  We  are  only  too  glad  to  offer 
them  where  demand  is  made  upon  us.

RESULTS. 

We  give  them.    You  get  them. 

We  both  have  them. 

Early  mums  have  appeared.  They  are 
to  the  florists'  fall  business  what  the 
robin  is  to  spring. 

The  grower  who  has  valley  is  for- 
tunate, as  nearly  every  city  reports  a 
scarcity. 

Because  so  many  people  forget,  it  is 
repeated  here  that  anonymous  inquiries 
cannot  receive  attention.  If  subscribers 
will  sign  their  full  names  and  addresses, 
no  incjuiry  will  go  unanswered. 

The  handsomest  piece  of  printing  that 
comes  to  The  Review  each  year  is  the 
report  of  the  board  of  park  commissioners 
at  Minneapolis.  The  1916  volume,  just 
to  hand,  is  in  keeping  with  the  high  stand- 
ard of  its  predecessors.  It  is  a  >»ook  of 
164  pages,  with  many  beautiful  illustra- 
tions. 

The  annual  convention  of  the  Associa- 
tion of  American  Cemetery  Sujierintend- 
ents  will  be  held  at  Barre,  Vt.,  August  28 
to  31.  The  Barre  Entertainment  Associ- 
ation, organized  to  arrange  for  the  con- 
vention, announces  that  the  visitors  will 
be  tlie  guests  of  the  New  Englantl  superin- 
tendents at  Boston  the  last  day  of  the 
convention. 

An  object  which  should  be  in  the  mind 
of  every  liorist  not  so  situated  is  the 
accumulation  of  sufficient  capital  so  that 
bills  can  be  paid  monthly  with  unfailing 
regularity.  There  is  just  one  way  to  reach 
such  indei)endence — liy  spending  a  lit- 
tle less  than  one's  income,  by  conserv- 
ing the  })rofit.  About  the  hardest  thing 
most  of  us  have  to  do  is  to  keep  from 
spending  at  least  as  fast  as  we  make, 
but  it  is  worth  the  effort. 


Dutch  bulbs,  a  large  part  of  t"he  sea- 
son's supply,  are  on  the  water,  according 
to  the  New  York  office  of  the  Holland- 
America  line,  which  this  week  notified 
several  importers  that  one  of  its  steamers 
sailed  from  Rotterdam  August  18  with  a 
cargo  consisting  principally  of  bulbs. 


EVERYBODY  HAPPY. 

An  advertiser  who  has  been  carrying 

a   1-inch  business   card  in   The   Review 

writes  to  double  his  space,  and  says: 

The  results  have  been  very  gratifying. — Mis- 
souri Pottery  &  Supply  Co.,  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  Au- 
gust 10,    1917. 

When   you   hear   a  man   complain   of 

the    cost    of    advertising    you    can    be 

pretty  certain  he  spends  a  good  bit  of 

money  elsewhere  than  in  The  Review. 


CONFIDENCE. 


"The  retail  florists  of  the  United 
States  never  were  more  confident  of  a 
good  season's  business."  The  speaker 
was  B.  Eschner,  president  of  the  M. 
Rice  Co.,  Philadelphia,  at  the  New  York 
convention  this  week.  "I  am  not  talk- 
ing generalities,"  continued  Mr.  Esch- 
ner, ' '  but  I  have  the  fact  in  the  most 
definite  and  exact  form — in  the  largest 
number,  size  and  value  of  orders  for  fall 
delivery  ever  on  the  books  of  our  house. 

"These  orders  do  not  come  from  any 
one  part  of  the  country,  but  from  all 
over  the  United  States.  Practically 
every  traveler  we  employ  has  had  a 
record  summer  trip.  It  seems  to  me  to 
be  the  most  conclusive  evidence  that 
business  will  be  good  with  florists  this 
fall — it  isn't  possible  everybody  is 
wrong,  and  they  all  are  buying  more 
heavily  than  ever  before." 


GOOD  AND  BAD  ACCOUNTS. 

The  receiver  for  a  St.  Louis  floral 
company,  in  winding  up  its  affairs^  dis- 
covered that  there  were  many  unpaid 
accounts  on  the  books.  The  fact  that 
the  company  had  turned  its  business 
over  to  the  court  for  liquidation  would 
tend  to  show  that  these  accounts  were 
uncollectable.  The  receiver  found  that 
not  only  were  a  majority  of  these  ac- 
counts collectable,  but  many  of  them 
were   paid   promptly   upon   notification. 

Every  account  that  the  florist  loses 
comes  out  of  his  net  profits.  When  credit 
is  given  there  is  bound  to  be  some  loss. 
But  many  times  there  would  be  less  loss 
if  the  florist  would  make  a  continuous 
effort  to  get  his  money.  That  old  feeling 
that  to  insist  on  payment  might  "in- 
sult" the  customer  and  drive  him  from 
the  store,  is  not  in  accord  with  modern 
business  methods.  No  person  can  be 
insulted  if  asked  in  a  proper  manner  to 
pay  an  account  he  has  contracted. 

Care  in  extending  credit  and  vigi- 
lance in  collecting  accounts  are  two 
prime  requisites  in  the  successful  con- 
duct of  the  florists'  business. 


SUBSTtl^UTION  AN  ERROR. 

In  the  early  days  of  the  trade  th«^-e 
may  have  been  justification  in  substi- 
tuting when  one  could  not  fill  an  order 
exactly  as  given,  but  today  the  case  is 
entirely  different. 

When  local  supjdies  were  small  it  may 
have  been  excusable,  or  even  eouimend- 
able,  to  send  something  that  might 
])ossibly  be  iised  in  place  of  the  stock 
ordered.  Now,  with  much  larger  local 
supplies,   it   is    to   be    presumed    that    a 


man  who  orders  a  definite  article  wants 
just  that  thing;  if  a  substitution  is  to 
be  made  he  can  make  it  himself  from  the 
stock  he  naturally  has  on  hand  or  can 
get  at  home.  Or,  if  the  stock  ordered 
is  not  for  immediate  consumption,  the 
man  who  orders  is  entitled  to  the  chance 
to  say  whether  or  not  the  substitution 
will  be  satisfactory  to  him.  It  is  not 
enough  to  give  value  for  money  re- 
ceived. If  the  exact  stock  cannot  be 
supplied,  the  money  should  be  returned 
or  a  chance  given  to  order  a  substitute. 

The  other  day  a  florist  sent  2,000  jnilos 
for  150  strong  3-inch  smilax  plants,  be- 
cause he  needed  just  that.  When  ho 
opened  the  box  it  contained  316  smilax 
plants  from  2-inch  pots.  They  may  have 
been  worth  the  same  monev,  but  tJiey 
did  not  serve  the  same  purpose— the 
buyer  had  plenty  of  that  grade  of  stock 
right  at  home. 

When  a  substitute  is  shipped  it  fre- 
quently is  a  total  loss;  the  plants  are 
worthless  if  returned  and  the  express 
company  will  not  accept  them  for  re- 
turn unless  the  victim  of  the  substitu- 
tion will  guarantee  the  return  charges. 


PLAYING  ONE  HORSE. 

Diffused  advertising  in  the  several 
trade  journals  of  one  field  is  considered 
an  extravagant  method  in  that  there  is 
a  certain  amount  of  overlapping  of  cir- 
culation. It  is  called  the  duplication 
of  advertising,  as  distinct  from  the  rep- 
etition of  advertising. 

Therefore  the  cleverest  advertisers 
concentrate  their  advertising  in  the 
dominant  trade  journal  of  the  trade 
they  want  to  reach.  Instead  of  back- 
ing every  horse  in  the  race,  they  are  in- 
terested in  one,  the  leading  publication, 
the  one  with  the  largest  circulation  and, 
tlierefore,   the   most  advertising. 

Of    The     Review    there     have    been 

printed    not     less     than    12,000     copies 

of  any  issue  in  the  last  two  years.    How 

many   florists    do   you    think    there    are 

who  do  not  subscribe   to  The  Review? 

The   Review   also   leads    in    advertising 

volume  because  it  brings  business  to  the 

advertiser  at  the  lowest  cost  per  sale, 

like  this: 

Ple.Tsp  do  not  print  my  ad  of  snapdrnjrons  in 
tlip  next  issue,  as  I  requested.  I  am  sold  out  and 
the  orders  are  still  cominK  in.  I  must  say, 
for  <|uick  results,  advertise  in  Tlie  Ueview. — 
L.   H.   Curry,    Koseville,   111.,  August   ir..   1917. 

When  you  hear  a  man  complain  of  the 
cost  of  advertising,  you  can  be  ])retty 
certain  he  spends  a  good  bit  of  money 
elsewhere  than  in  The  Review. 


CHICAGO. 

The  Market. 

Taken  by  and  large,  the  condition  of 
the  wholesale  cut  flower  market  is  not 
unsatisfactory.  It  is  true  that  city 
trade  the  last  week  has  lieen  exceed- 
ingly quiet,  but  the  demand  from  out  of 
town,  which  has  been  strong  and 
steady,  easily  made  up  for  the  lethargy 
of  the  loc^l  trade. 

Probably  the  ])rliKii)al  feature  of  the 
market  is  the  great  quantities  of  asters 
which  arrived  during  the  last  week. 
Although  it  was  said  that  many  plants 
had  been  killed  this  year  by  stem-rot, 
the  tremendous  quantities  which  ar- 
rived indicate  that  the  damage  done 
could  not  have  been  extensive.  Al- 
though much  inferior  quality  stock  is 
arriving,  there  are  certainly  enough 
good  asters  to  meet  the  demand,  which

We  Never  Lose  Faith  in  the 
Future  of  Our  Business 

SSEMBLING  the  product  of  dozens  of  skilled  growers,  most 
of  them  specialists  in  their  respective  lines,  provides  the 
largest  supply  of  high  grade  Cut  Flowers  to  be  found  in 
any  one  wholesale  house — it  makes  this  the  most  satis- 
factory source  of  supply  any  buyer  can  have. 

The  steady  annual  growth  of  our  business,  continued 
even  in  an  off  year,  proves  we  are  on  the  right  road. 

In  our  experience  it  is  better  to  give  a  man  more  than  he  ex- 
pects than  to  have  him  disappointed  after  extravagant  claims. 

But,  really,  relying  on  Amling  isn't  a  matter  of  experiment  at 
all— many  do  it,  buyers  and  growers,  and  most  of  them  are  classed 
among  the  shrewdest  and  most  successful  men  in  the  trade.  Our 
prosperity — indeed,  our  very  existence — depends  on  the  fact  that 
those  who  buy  or  sell  through  Amling's  make  money  by  so  doing. 
It  has  and  it  does  pay  others  to  rely  on  Amling — it  will  pay  you. 
At  least,  investigate. 

We  consider  our  facilities  to  be  tiie  best  in  Chicago 

Our  business  is  large  enough  to  warrant  our  maintaining  the  best 
possible  equipment  for  handling  Cut  Flowers  and  for  dispatching  orders 
promptly,  carefully  packed.  If  we  knew  of  any  improvement  which 
could  be  made  in  our  equipment — or  of  more  capable  men  than  we 
employ — we  should  let  nothing  stand  in  the  way  of  improving  our  service. 

In  the  new  season  now  at  hand  we  shall  relax  no  effort — we  have 
again  increased  our  space,  our  stafi"  and  our  supply  of  good  stock — 
we  want  additional  business  and  we  shall  seek  to  merit  the  continued 
patronage  of  everyone  who  gives  us  a  trial. 

Our  price  list  appears  on  this  page  of  The  Review  each  week.  It  quotes 
everything  seasonable  in  Cut  Flowers  and  Greens,  including  many  varieties 
and  novelties  not  to  be  had  elsewhere.    This  page  is  worth  watching.

CHICAGO

KENNICOTT  BROS.  CO 


The  True  Summer  Flower 

The  Gladiolus  is  the  most  beautiful 
of  all  summer  flowers.  Its  soft 
combination  of  colors,  the  markings 
of  the  petals,  cannot  be  surpassed 
by  any  flower  and  are  rivaled  in 
beauty  only  by  the  exquisite  Orchid. 

GLADIOLUS  of  today  represents 
the  work  of  scores  of  years  of 
careful  culture  and  selection. 

USE  THE  GLADIOLUS 

Use  it  for  window  displays — use  it 
for  baskets— sprays  and  decorative 
work. 

It's  the  flower  to  use— to  sell  and 
to  recommend.  No  other  flower 
will  pay  you  so  well  in  the  summer. 
The  quality  of  other  flowers  is  at 
its  lowest — while  the  Gladiolus  is  at 
its  best.  You  will  find  a  large  and 
most  varied  supply  in  Chicago.  It 
has  been  my  specialty  for  years — 
having  exhibited  Prize  Winning  Stock 
in  the  severest  competition. 

Here  are  some  of  my  specialties: 

America,  Beulab,  Black  GLawk,  Dawn, 
Francis  King,  Golden  King,  Halley, 
Niagara,  Pink  Beauty,  Velvet  King 
and  ten  others.

is  only  fair.  The  best  call  is  for  white, 
with  pink,  piyple  and  lavender  next  in 
order. 

American  Beauties  are  commencing 
to  arrive  in  slightly  larger  quantities, 
growers  commencing  to  cut  from  the 
new  crop.  They  are  in  excellent  de- 
mand. Of  the  other  varieties  Russell 
still  leads.  The  supply  is  better  than 
it  has  been  and  the  color  also  has  im- 
proved. Ophelia  and  Hoosier  Beauty 
are  next  in  demand.  White  Killarney 
also  sells  well  and  the  supply,  which  is 
short,  was  at  times  insufficient  to  meet 
the  demand.  Yellow  roses,  however,  are 
not  finding  a  good  market.  The  supply 
of  roses  is  mostly  of  the  medium  and 
shorter  grades  and  these  also  are  in  the 
greatest  demand,  as  they  are  utilized 
mainly  for  funeral  work.  / 

A  few  field  carnations  of  fair  quality, 
considering  the  season,  are  coming  in. 
The  color  is  mostly  white.  They  sell 
fairly  well. 

Gladioli  are  plentiful  and  are  selling 
satisfactorily.  There  is  also  a  good 
>*upply  of  piaster  lilies,  which  meet 
with  a  fair  demand.  Valley  is  a  little 
scarce.  Orcliids  are  practically  unol)- 
tainable.  The  supply  of  gypsophila  has 
decreased  considerably  as  coin])ared 
with  last  week.  Tlie  "first  chrysanthe- 
mums of  good  quality  have  made  tlieir 
appearance.

H.  Van  Golder,  of  Percy  Jones,  Inc., 
is  sanfjuine  about  the  last  month 's

Mrs.  E.  K.  Horton,  of  Bassett  & 
Washburn,  is  l)ack  from  a  three  weeks' 
vacation.  It  was  not  the  rest  she  had 
planned,  however,  as  she  was  taken  ill 
on  the  first  day  and  was  confined  to  her 
bed  for  nearly  two  weeks.  Siie  has  now 
fully  recovered. 

Louis  E.  Finnerman,  of  A.  Henderson

Miss  O.  A.  Tonner  left  for  Millers-

The  American  Bulb  Co.  is  displaying

Paper  Whites  to  reach  Chicago. 

Xews  has  been  received  in  the  market 
of  the  sudden  death  of  J.  W.  Goree,  of 
Paris,  Tex.,  who  recently  was  in  Chicago 
buying  stock  for  the  greenhouses  he 
was  adding  to  his  range  in  that  city. 

The  first  good  chrysanthemums  to  ar- 
rive on  the  market  this  season  came 
from  the  greenhouses  of  J.  A.  Budlong. 
The  variety  was  Golden  Glow. 

This  week   is  the  peak   of  the  peach 


season  in  Oklahoma,  and  Jctlin  Furrow, 
of  Guthrie,  who  is  here  as  a  selling 
agent,  is  handling  several  carloads  a 
day. 

There  are  a  number  of  growers  who 
think  that  the  ])opularity  of  Russell  will 
wane  as  rapidly  as  it  grew\  Among 
those  who  look  for  the  variety  to  be 
comparatively  short-liveil  is  Emil  Buett- 
ncr,  who  says  he  thinks  it  will  be  dis- 
})laccd,  in  all  j)robability,  by  one  of 
Hill's  Oi)helia  seedlings,  the  one  having 
a  flower  of  the  size  of  Kussell  and  the 
color  of  Bridesmaid  at  its  deepest  and 
best. 

The  trade  will  tell  you  that  without 
any  question  the  A.  Lange  store  waits 
on  more  customers  than  any  other 
flower  store  in  Chicago  and  quite  likely 
now  is  doing  the  largest  volume  in 
money  value  of  any  retail  florist  in  the 
city.      He    has    earned    his    success    by

Several  growers  in  the  vicinity  of 
Chicago  are  preparing  against  a  pos- 
sible future  need,  by  trying  out,  on  at 
least  one  bench,  the  growing  of  toma- 
toes and  other  varieties  of  vegetables 
yielding  to  culture  under  glass.  They 
are  prompted  to  do  this  by  the  feeling 


that  it  is  not  impossible  that  they  may 
l)e  called  upon  by  tlie  government  at 
a  future  date  to  utilize  their  facilities 
in  aiding  in  tlie  production  of  food- 
stuffs.

ROCHESTER,  N.  Y. 


The  Market. 


The  liot  weather  had  an  unfavorable 
effect  on  business,  but  cooler  days  have 
brightened  up  conditions  considerably. 
The  main  feature  in  business  has  been 
funeral  work,  with  a  fair  sprinkling  of 
wedding  orders.  The  principal  item  of 
stock  is  gladioli;  they  are  in  excessive 
supply,  and  apparently  all  growers  are 
producing  them.  The  favorable  condi- 
tions under  which  they  have  developed 
this  season  have  made  them  extremely 
good.  The  white  varieties,  however, 
have  not  done  so  well.  The  demand  for 
roses  has  been  large  this  week,  but  the 
supply  has  not  been  sufficient.  White 
roses  are  scarce  and  the  demand  for 
them  is  heavy. 

The  supply  of  Easter  lilies  is  ade- 
quate, but  the  call  is  light.  The  same 
may  be  said  of  rubrums  and  gigan- 
teums.  Asters  are  scarce,  especially 
those  of  good  quality,  while  many  show 
the  effects  of  the  hot  weather.  The 
carnation  crop  is  about  over,  there 
being  few  flowers  on  the  market.  There 
are  a  few  good  dahlias,  but  the  demand 
is  poor.  Good  pompons  are  arriving 
and  sell  well.  Feverfew,  achilleas, 
snapdragons,  candytuft,  bachelor's  but- 
tons, coreopsis  and  zinnias  are  plenti- 
ful, but  the  demand  for  them  is  chiefly 
for  cemetery  work.  Sweet  peas  are 
neither  good  nor  plentiful;  good  stock 
is  difficult  to  procure  at  any  price. 
Magnolia  leaves  and  galax  are  utilized 
considerably  during  the  summer  season. 
The  supply  of  greens  meets  all  demands. 
Blooming  plants  are  not  plentiful.  A 
few    good    gloxinias    are   seen. 

Various  Notes. 

J.  W.  Langenbach,  of  Albion,  has  re- 
turned from  an  automobile  trip  through 
the  Berkshires.  He  purchased  a  7-pas- 
senger  car  and  made  the  initial  trip  to 
Norwich,  Conn.  His  father,  F.  J.  Lan- 
genbach, a  florist  of  Norwich,  accom- 
panied him.  The  whole  trip  of  more 
than  1,500  miles  was  made  without 
puncture  or  engine  trouble.  J.  W.  Lan- 
genbach has  a  100-foot  house  of  sweet 
peas,  which  he  hopes  to  have  in  the 
market  during  the  early  days  of  Decem- 
ber     Business  with  him  has  been  good. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  H.  E.  Wilson,  their 
three  sons  and  the  sons '  wives  and  chil- 
dren had  a  family  picnic  at  Durand, 
Eastman  park,  August  14.

The  Market. 


The  cut  flowet-  market  continues  dull. 
There  are  plenty  of  flowers  to  meet  a 
light  demand.  Asters  are  the  principal 
flowers;  Semple's  Branching  asters  are 
fine.  Any  that  remain  of  the  earlier  va- 
rieties are  poor.  Most  of  the  gladioli 
are  poor  and  the  quality  is  falling  off. 
The  price  is  low.  There  has  been  a  fair 
demand  for  Easter  lilies.  The  supply  is 
smaller  and  the  price  has  advanced. 
Cattleyas  are  quite  scarce  at  high 
prices.  Valley  is  to  be  had  on  timely 
notice.  There  are  some  good  Eussells 
and  Beauties,  besides  fine  flowers  of 
other  roses  that  stood  the  summer  sun. 
A  few  hydrangeas  are  sold.  Not  much 
green  is  apt  to  accumulate. 

The  Belgian  Mission. 

A  ripple  of  activity  disturbed  the 
slumbering  summer  sea  of  business 
August  20  when  the  Belgian  mission 
came  to  Philadelphia  just  for  a  day. 
The  Chamber  of  Commerce  tendered  the 
visitors  a  luncheon  of  perhaps  600  covers 
at  the  Bellevue-Stratford  hotel.  The 
Manufacturers'  Club  gave  them  a  dinner 
in  the  evening.  The  decorations,  ar- 
ranged by  Harry  W.  Jones,  of  J.  J. 
Habermehl's  Sons,  were  of  flags  of  the 
two  countries,  Belgium  and  our  own,  of 
plants  and  of  cut  flowers.  In  order  to 
make  the  visitors  feel  at  home,  Mr. 
.Tones  sent  for  an  extra  supply  of  well 
trimmed  bay  trees.  The  cut  flowers,  ar- 
ranged in  low  baskets,  were  of  the  Bel- 
gian national  colors,  red,  yellow  and 
black.  Can  you  guess  the  flowers  ?  The 
red  was  Gladiolus  Mrs.  Francis  King; 
the  yellow  and  black  were  supplied  by 
sunflowers.  The  guests  left  in  the  eve- 
ning for  New  York.

important  as  that  return  must  be.  The 
aim  in  writing  this  column  is,  and  al- 
ways has  been,  to  try  to  benefit  my

them;  to  tell  them  any  little  thing  that

merchant.  Mr.  Andre  was  asked  the 
question  August  16,  '  'Should  florists  buy 
their  coal  now?"  Mr.  Andre  replied 
positively  that  they  should.  "There  is 
always  a  ])ossibility, "  Mr.  Andre  said, 


"of  being  wrong,  but  all  the  indications 
jxiint  to  the  danger  of  waiting.  Even 
now  deliveries  are  slow.  While  prices 
may  go  down,  it  is  most  unlikely  that 
they  will  do  so. " ' 

Mr.  Eisele  Is  Speaking. 

There  is  a  little  group  of  people  seated 
on  the  })orch  of  a  homelike  house  at 
Riverton.  It  is  J.  1).  Eisele  's  house  and 
it  is  Mr.  Eisele  who  is  speaking: 

"It  looks  as  though  we  should  have 
to  adapt  ourselves  to  some  changes  this 
season.  Take,  for  example,  the  almost 
certain  al)sence  of  azaleas  and  arauca- 
rias  from  abroad.    We  have  an  excellent

splendid  substitute.  For  certain  juir-

color  and  form  shown  in  the  French  va- 
rieties,combined  with  their  grace,  makes 
,  them  invaluable  for  decorative  purposes. 
The  embargo  that  the  railroads  have  at 
times  placed  on  freight  and  the  diliiculty 
in  securing  freight  cars,''  Mr.  Eisele 
continued,  "has  made  increased  need 
for  motor  truck  delivery.  We  had  ship- 
ments of  jilants  for  Cuba  and  Mexico  at 
a  time  when  conilitions  were  particu- 
larly bad.  We  sent  the  boxes  of  plants 
by  motor,  direct  to  the  docks  in  New 
York,  insuring  their  catching  the  boats 
in  time.  There  have  been  cases  where, 
with  an  embargo  in  effect  on  one  rail- 
road and  a  shortage  of  freight  cars  on 
the  other  railroad,  we  have  used  our  own 
trucks  for  long-distance  delivery,  with 
good   results. 

"We  generally  carry  a  good  lot  of 
coal  over  each  summer  as  an  insurance. 
This  summer  we  are  taking  no  chances 
and  have  ordered  all  our  coal  for  both 
places  for  a  year.     Delivery  is  slow,  but

The  Club  Meeting. 

Monday,  August  13,  the  Gardeners' 
and  Florists'  Club  held  one  of  the  best 
attended  meetings  it  has  had  in  a  long 
time,  the  reason  for  this  being  the  spe- 
cial business  for  the  evening.  At  the 
July  meeting  the  question,  "Should  the 
production  of  cut  flowers  for  the  season 
be  limited  on  account  of  war  condi- 
tions?" was  made  the  special  order  of 
business  for  this  meeting,  and  each 
member  of  the  club  was  notified. 

As  one  sat  and  listened  to  the  dis- 
cussion pro  and  con,  one  could  not  help 
but  notice  the  spirit  of  optimism  that 
is  steadily  growing  among  florists  over 
the  future  of  the  florists'  business. 
Everyone  who  spoke  on  the  subject  re- 
ported that  up  to  this  time  his  booki 
showed  a  larger  volume  of  business 
done,  but  with  profits  diminished.  This 
naturally  brought  out  the  fact  that  it 
is  costing  the  grower  more  to  produce 
flowers  and  the  retailer  more  to  sell 
them,  bringing  the  question  down  to  a 
readjustment  of  prices. 

It  w^  most  interesting  to  note  the 
deep  thought  and  study  that  had  been 
given  to  this  question  by  everyone.  It 
is  a  thing  which  I  feel  sure  will  be  of 
great  value  to  everyone  in  the  trade, 
for  this  investigation  has  given  every 
man  a  deeper  insight  into  his  business. 
The  unanimous  opinion  was  that  each 
man  should  grow  all  the  stock  he  could; 
that  he  should  make  it  a  point  to  elim- 
inate inferior  quality  and  to  increase 
the  selling  price  of  his  commodity  in 
proportion   to   tlie  increase   in   the  pro-

ager, showed  me  throughi;  the  cooling 
vaults,  of  which  there  are  two.  One 
of  these,  15x30  feet,  was  filled  with 
rubrum  and  Harrisii  lilies  and  gladioli. 
There  were  1,000  each  of  the  lilies  and 
6,000  of  the  gladioli,  with  the  day's 
morning  cut  still  to  come.  I  remarked 
to  Mr.  Perry  that  this  was  a  lot  of  stock 
to  move  in  half  a  day,  but  he  informed 
me  that  there  were  orders  on  the  books 
then  for  half  of  it  and  that  at  closing 
time  Saturday  they  would  be  cleaned 
up.  In  the  other  vault  roses,  asters, 
hydrangeas.  Golden  Glow  and  a  little 
of   everything  were  to  be  seen.

At  tlie  establishment  of  tlie  Balti- 
more Wholesale  Florist  &  Supply  Co. 
some  fine  asters  and  Harrisii  were  to 
be  seen.  H.  Glick  reported  business 
good  in  all  stock  for  funeral  work. 

At  the  Leo  Xiessen  Co.  store  I  found 
H.  F.  Ekas.  He  told  me  last  week  that 
he  would  be  off  on  his  vacation,  but  tliis 
was  a  case  of  where  "the  best  laid 
schemes  o'  mice  an'  men  gang  aft 
aglcy, "  for  they  were  so  busy,  with  a 
bookkeeper  in  the  hospital,  that  Mr. 
McKissick  found  it  necessary  to  recall 
him. 

Busy  times  in  the  middle  of  August! 
Yet  some  i)eoi)le  have  fears  for  the  fu- 
ture of  the  florists'  business.  In  a 
lifetime's  connection  with  the  florists' 
business  I  liave  never  seen  a  summer 
during  which  such  a  volume  of  business 
lias  been  done  by  florists  as  this  one. 
Of  course,  I  realize  that  there  is  a  rea- 
son for  this,  that  tlicre  has  not  been  a 
week  this  summer  tliat  two  or  three 
prominent  people  did  not  die,  and 
added  to  this  lias  been  the  great  number 
of  war  weddings.  Docs  not  this  ex- 
traordinary midsummer  business  dem- 
onstrate clearly  tliat  flowers  are  being 
used  for  these  occasions  despite  tlie 
war,  and  perhaps  more  profusely  than 
formerly?  At  every  place  tlie  report 
was  the  same:  "We  have  a  war  wed- 
ding for  tliis  week." 

Ill  tliese  turl)uleiit  times  it  gives  me 
pleasure  to  report  some  greenhouse 
building.  P.  C.  Erdinan  is  erecting  a 
range  of  three  houses,  eacli  28x150,  out 
on  Taylor  avenue,  and  this  range  can 
be  depended  ujion  for  some  fine  sweet 
peas  next  winter. 

Kobert  L.  Graham  left  last  week  for 
Niagara  Falls,  returning  via  New  York 
for  the  convention.  He  will  spend  tlie 
remainder  of  August  at  Atlantic  City. 
His  daughters,  the  Misses  Margaret, 
Jessie  and  Mabel,  have  returned  from 
a  ten  days'  vacation^  at  tlie  seaside  re- 
sort. 

Baltimore's  trade  seems  to  have  been 
most  fortunate  regarding  the  'draft.  I 
have  not  heard  of  a  young  man  among 
florists  who  has  been  taken.  Otto  H. 
Guerth  has  an  idea  of  what  it  is  to  work 
for  Uncle  Sam  during  war  times.  Since 
June  5  he  has  been  secretary  for  the 
exemjition  board  of  the  Fourth  district, 
which  meets  in  his  store  at  733  West 
Baltimore  street.

flower  market  and  convention  week 
opened  equally  so.  There  has  been  a 
big  surplus  of  asters  and  gladioli.  Few 
American  Beauties  are  arriving  and 
most  of  those  are  small.  The  good 
flowers  find  ready  sale  at  prices  up  to 
$25  per  hundred.  Hadley  roses  have 
arrived  and  sold  last  week  for  from  $6 
to  $8  per  hundred.  Some  fine  Russells 
brought  $10  per  hundred.  Most  of  the 
roses,  however,  are  small  and  open 
quickly.  These  sell  at  from  50  cents  to 
$2  and  $3  per  hundred.  The  demand 
for  good  roses  is  greater  than  the  sup- 
ply- 

The  market  is  bare  of  carnations. 
Lilies  are  in  abundance.  Longiflorums 
sold  August  18  at  $2.50  per  hundred. 
Some  of  the  finest  flowers  brought  as 
high  as  $5  per  hundred.  There  is  little 
call  for  rubrums.  Valley  still  is  scarce 
and  $8  per  hundred  was  offered,  but  the 
supply  was  not  sufficient  for  the  de- 
mand. The  few  perfect  gigas  that  ar- 
rived brought  $1.50  and  $2  each.  The 
latter  is  said  to  be  a  record  quotation. 

The  market  is  overloaded  with  the 
usual  variety  of  summer  flowers.  There 
are  fine  flowers  of  Hydrangea  panicu- 
lata  grandiflora  in  the  market.  Golden- 
rod  is  at  its  best.  There  also  are  water 
lilies,  sunflowers,  daisies  and  cosmos; 
in  fact,  anything  and  everything  from 
outdoors. 

Various  Notes. 

Many  vacationists  have  returned 
ruddy  and  healthy,  and  in  fine  condi- 
tion for  the  coming  season. 

New  York  florists  are  putting  their 
stores  in  condition  for  the  coming  sea- 
son by  redecorating  and  making  other 
repairs. 

A.  J.  Guttman  celebrated  his  fortieth 
birthday  August  15. 

George  O.  Sullivan  has  returned  from 
a  vacation  of  two  months  spent  at 
Spring  Valley,  N.  Y. 

Clarence  Slinn  is  receiving  some  fine 
Sylvia  and  Burgess  dahlias 

George  W.  Crawbuck  last  week  at- 
tended the  dinner  of  the  Rotary  Club, 
of  which  he  is  a  member. 

The  Cadieux  Co.  decorated  the  Majes- 
tic hotel  for  a  wedding  August  15,  and 
this  week  has  a  similar  decoration  at 
Plainfield,  N.  J. 

J.  J.  Coan  is  again  back  at  his  head- 
quarters, 115  West  Twenty-eighth 
street.  The  store  has  had  its  annual 
redecoration.  Walter  Singleman,  Mr, 
Coan's  head  salesman,  returns  from  his 
honeymoon  trip  this  week. 

C.  "C.  Trepel's  store  at  Fifty-ninth 
street  and  Lexington  avenue  will  be  one 
of  the  largest  in  the  world  when  com- 
pleted. Fifty  marble  tables  will  be 
used  for  the  display  of  cut  flowers  and 
plants.  On  the  roof,  additions  are  be- 
ing made  to  the  show  houses  and  green- 
houses. Mr.  Trepcl  has  purchased  the 
store  adjoining  and  mirror  effects  on 
a  large  scale  are  contemplated.  He 
expects  that  everything  will  be  com- 
plete bv  October  1. 

The  Walter  R.  Siebrecht  Co.  will  be 
succeeded  this  week  by  the  Barney  B. 
Jacobs  Co.  Prominent  in  the  new  com- 
pany are  Barney  B.  Jacobs,  Samuel 
Salsberg  and  Mary  E.  Persico.  Mr. 
Siebrecht  will  retain  an  interest  in  the 
company.  Messrs.  Jacobs  and  Salsberg 
have  had  some  twenty  years'  experience

THE  original  Album  of 
Designs  was  published 
in  response  to  many  requests 
from  florists  who  felt  the 
need  for  an  up-to-date  book 
that  could  be  used  in  taking 
orders  for  Funeral  Designs, 
Wedding  Decorations  and 
Bouquets,  Table  Decorations  and  all  cut  flower 
work  where  it  was  not  practicable  to  show  the 
customer  the  finished  article  as  it  would  be 


per 
dozen 


when  ready  for  use.  With 
the  publication  of  this  album 
it  became  possible  to  show 
the  finished  work  in 

beautifully  printed  pictures. 
The  first  edition  sold  like 
hot  cakes,  a  second  and  third 
edition  went  quickly.  Now 
a  fourth  edition  is  off  the  press.  Everything 
is  in  it — all  the  standard  designs  and  many 
new  pieces. 


96  pages,  nearly  300  designs  and  decorations,  beautifully  printed  on 
heavy  art  paper,  handsomely  bound  in  a  cover  that  will  stand  wear.

NEWARK,  N.  J. 

Dahlias  have  come  upon  the  stage 
(luring  the  last  ten  days  and  now  play 
a  leading  part.  Gladioli,  asters  and 
Easter  lilies  are  plentiful  enough,  but 
outside  of  these  and  hydrangea  blooms 
there  is  little  variety.  Counter  sales 
have  been  few,  but  war  weddings  and 
funeral  work  have  Icept  some  of  the 
stores  busy. 

W.  H.  Witlieridge  smilingly  remarks 
that  he  is  content  with  business. 
Funerals  have  been  more  numerous  this 
summer,  it  seems. 

George  Penek  has  returned  from  his 
vacation  at  Asbury  Park.  Business  has 
been  quiet  at  the  Penek  store,  but  it 
averages  better  than  that  of  last  sum- 
mer. 

Word  has  been  received  at  Millburn, 
X.  J.,  of  the  death  at  Jupiter,  Fla.,  of 
Mrs.  Sarali  Wilson,  wife  of  John  Wil- 
son, after  a  few  liours'  illness  of  typhoid 
fever.  The  Wilsons  were  residents  of 
Millburn  and  Short  Hills  for  many 
years.  Mr.  Wilson's  range  at  Short 
Hills  was  completely  destroyed  by  a 
snow  storm  four  years  ago,  entailing  a 
loss  of  $40,000.  Soon  afterward  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Wilson  removed  to  Florida, 
where  Mr.  Wilson  started  a  florists' 
business.  Besides  her  husband,  Mrs. 
Wilson  is  survived  by  several  cliildren.

well;  in  fact,  I  doubt  if  there  have 
ever  been  better  asters  grown  in  Nash- 
ville. Some  of  the  florists  are  growing 
their  stock  in  lath  houses,  and  this 
seems  to  be  just  the  thing  needed  in 
this  climate.  Growers  farther  south 
may  find  that  this  method  will  solve 
their  aster  j)roblem. 

Eoses  continue  scarce  and,  of  course, 
there  are  no  carnations.  Gladioli  are 
plentiful  and  of  excellent  quality.  Busi- 
ness was  good  last  week,  thanks  to 
funeral  work. 

The  Joy  Floral  Co.  is  rebuilding  and 
refurnishing  its  store.  A  large  balcony 
will  contain  the  office,  as  well  as  serve 


for  storage  purposes.  This  doubles  the 
floor  space  of  the  salesroom  and  per- 
mits the  installation  of  several  new 
refrigerating  show  cases.  Thomas  Joy 
was  unable  to  attend  to  business  last 
week  on  account  of  an  operation,  i 
Tom's  tonsils  simply  had  to  be  removed. 

Leo  Geny  and  family  left  by  auto 
for  Louisville  last  week.  They  visited 
friends  there  for  some  days,  after 
which  they  made  a  tour  of  a  number 
of  the  larger  growers. 

J.  Ewing,  of  McKay,  Reese  &  Co.,  is

The  Club  Meeting. 

The  Lancaster  County  Florists'  Club 
was  entertained  by  B.  F.  Barr,  Thurs- 
day evening,  August  16,  at  his  country 
home.      More    than    thirty   were    in   at- 


tendance. Inspection  of  the  Barr 
grounds  revealed  fine  plantings  of 
conifers  and  specimen  shrubbery.  Con- 
siderable space  is'  being  planted  to 
shade  trees,  spaced  for  specimen  stock. 
The  fourteen  acres  of  tobacco,  almost 
ready  for  housing,  is  not  surpassed  in 
Lancaster  county.  The  registered  Hol- 
stein  cows  are  among  the  finest. 

President  H.  A.  Schroyer  called  the 
meeting  to  order  on  the  porch,  after 
cigars  had  been  passed  to  all.  Fred 
Ritchey  gave  an  interesting  account  of 
a  1600-mile  auto  trip  through  the  New 


England  states.  Arthur  Nicssen,  of 
Philadelphia,  who  has  been  visiting 
many  of  the  growers  througliout  the 
county  in  his  car,  was  present  and 
made  some  remarks.  He  thinks  the 
prospects  for  the  florists'  business  for 
the  coming  year  are  bright  and  says 
that  his  company  is  preparing  to  do  the 
largest  amount  of  business  in  its  his- 
tory. He  pointed  out  two  valuable 
points  to  growers,  that  they  should 
keep  a  sharp  eye  on  any  unnecessary 
expense  and  that  they  sliould  grow  the 
best  stock  possible.

TO  KEEP  NARCISSI  DORMANT. 

How  shall  I  care  for  Paper  White 
narcissus  bulbs  to  keep  them  dormant 
until  the  last  planting f  The  bulbs  be- 
gin to  grow  after  a  few  weeks  and  we 
are  forced  to  plant  them.   K.  G. — Kan. 

I  find  the  best  plan  is  to  place  all  the 
Paper  Whites  in  flats  as  soon  as  re- 
ceived. By  holding  the  flats  in  a  cold 
cellar  just  clear  of  freezing  in  winter, 
we  held  some  bulbs  until  early  in  May 
last  season.  C.  W.

The  Market. 

Not  much  can  be  said  about  the  cut 
flower  market  these  days.  Two  items 
continue  dominant,  gladioli  and,  asters. 
Prices  on  the  first-named  are  low,  even 
for  fancy  spikes  of  Panama,  Chicago 
White,  America  and  other  good  sorts. 
Asters  are  not  so  good  in  quality  as 
they  have  been.  The  early  sorts  are 
on  the  wane  and  heavy  thunder  storms 
have  damaged  many.  Prices  average 
fully  as  good  as  in  previous  years,  how- 
ever. Lilies,  both  longiflorums  and 
speciosums,  are  abundant  and  cheap. 
Carnations  are  out  of  the  market  and 
roses  are  not  of  good  quality,  but  they 
are  selling  somewhat  better  than  they 
did.  Valley  is  scarce  and  high-priced. 
Cattleyas  are  almost  unprocurable,  but 
some  white  phalsenopsis  is  available. 
A  few  gardenias  of  good  quality  are 
coming  in.  Sweet  peas  are  short- 
stemmed,  but  in  demand  for  wedding 
bouquets,  which  are  having  a  steady 
call  this  summer.  Outside  of  a  few 
perennials,  such  as  liatris  and  aconi- 
tums  and  some  everlastings,  there  are 
hardly  any  other  flowers  coming  in,  and 
anyone  having  calls  for  choice  flowers 
has  hard  work  to  fill  orders  satisfac- 
torily. 

Various  Notes. 

At  the  store  of  D.  &  E.  J.  Welch 
business  for  July  and  August  has  been 
decidedly  better  than  a  year  ago.  I 
am  sorry  to  report  that  E,  J.  Welch 
recently  met  with  a  painful  accident 
at  Old  Orchard,  Me.  He  was  below  an 
automobile  which  was  temporarily  hors 
de  combat,  and  when  the  machine 
started  up  suddenly  two  wheels  passed 
over  Mr.  Welch's  legs.  He  sustained 
in  addition  an  injury  to  his  spine.  The 
accident  spoiled  his  vacation  in  con- 
siderable measure,  but,  fortunately,  he 
is  now  convalescing  nicely. 

Among  the  numerous  local  men  con- 
nected with  the  trade  who  have  been 
drafted  are  Gordon  Fisher,  nephew  of 
Peter  Fisher,  of  the  Arnold  &  Fisher 
Co.,  Woburn;   Julius  Snyder,  of  B.  A.

00  years'  experience  in  the  florist  business  guarantees 
efficiency  to  take  care  of  all  oraers.   20  per  cent  allowed. 

Snyder  &  Co.;  H.  Heckel,  one  of  the 
salesmen  for  H.  M.  Eobinson  &  Co.;  A. 
Erickson,  of  Budlong's;  James  J.  Com- 
ley,  son  of  Norris  F.  Comley,  of  Lex- 
ington. At  least  twenty-five  members 
of  the  Gardeners'  and  Florists'  Club

to  date  and  the  number  is  expected  to 
reach   fifty. 

At  Penn's  both  w^edding  and  funeral 
business  has  been  good  for  August. 
August  18,  for  the  vpedding  of  Miss 
Whipple,  daughter  of  Sherman  Whipple, 
a  noted  local  attorney,  the  bride's 
bouquet  was  composed  entirely  of  val- 
ley, August  20,  for  another  large 
wedding,  white  phalaenopsis  and  val- 
ley were  used,  and  for  still  another  wed- 
ding, August  23,  orchids  and  valley  were 
again  used.  There  were  church  and 
house  decorations  for  each  of  these 
large  weddings. 

William  H.  Elliott  is  cutting  a  fine 
lot  of  Kaiserin,  Ophelia,  American 
Beauty  and  Hadley  roses.  The  last 
named  is  just  coming  in  nicely.  Mr. 
Elliott  prefers  to  rest  in  the  Maine 
woods  rather  than  attend  the  New  York 
S.  A.  F.  convention. 

The  coal  situation  remains  quite 
acute.  Many  growers  have  received 
none  of  their  next  season's  supply  and 
at  the  present  price  of  $9  per  ton 
for  bituminous,  wliich  is  double  that 
of  a  year  ago,  growers  state  that  they 
would    be    able    to    just    about    break

even.  Anthracite  coal  is  arriving 
rather  more  freely  than  bituminous  and 
there  is  not  a  great  difference  in  the 
prices  of  the  two  varieties. 

Among  visitors  last  week  we  were 
glad  to  welcome  J.  W.  Duncan,  for- 
merly assistant  superintendent  of  parks 
liere,  for  some  years  in  charge  of  the 
Spokane,  Wash.,  park  system.  Mr. 
Duncan  will  attend  the  New  York  con- 
vention. Other  visitors  included 
Tliomas  A.  Havemeyer,  of  New  York; 
Adolpli  Miller,  of  the  Dc  Kalb  Nurseries, 
Norristown,  Pa.,  and  William  Graham, 
of  Greenwich,  Conn. 

Norris  F.  Comley  is  cutting  a  good 
grade  of  roses  now.  He  has  Francis 
Scott  Key,  Kod  Kadiance,  Stanley, 
Ward,  Iloosier  Beauty  and  Sliawyer,  in 
addition   to   the   Killarneys. 

Henry  M.  Robinson  &  Co.  are  keep- 
ing quite  busy  this  month  and  are  re- 
ceiving fine  shipments  of  roses,  asters, 
gladioli,  sweet  peas  and  other  season- 
able llowers.  They  are  also  active  in 
tlicir   large   sundries   department. 

Wheeler  &  Co.,  of  Waban,  are  cutting 
a  nice  lot  of  l*hala»no])sis  amabilis, 
which  are  in  demand  for  weddings. 
They  are  the  only  local  growers  send- 
ing in  good  gardenias.  They  have  a 
splendid  lot  of  cattleyas  and  many  of 
the  lal)iatas  have  their  buds  prominent 
in  the  sheaths. 

William  Sim,  of  Cliftondale,  is  one 
of  the  heaviest  local  shippers  of  asters 
at  present.  His  aster  crop  will  soon 
l)e    over.      Of    tomatoes    he    is    picking

heavily,  Comet  being  his  favorite  va- 
riety. 

At  the  establishment  of  Patrick 
Welch  the  best  demand  at  present  is 
for  valley  and  white  roses.  Mr.  Welch 
left  August  19  for  the  New  York  con- 
vention, going  via  Portland,  Me. 

Martin  Wax  is  having  excellent  suc- 
cess fishing  at  his  private  camj)  at 
Crocker  Point,  Me.,  and  has  forwarded 
some  fine  boxes  of  trout  to  liis  friends. 
Business  with  Wax  Bros,  has  held  up 
well  this  month. 

William  H.  Carr  is  receiving  a  fine 
lot  of  Liatris  pycnostachya  and  aconi- 
tums,  which  make  attractive  subjects 
for  window  displays. 

B.  A.  McGinty,  at  the  Cooperative 
Market,  now  is  handling  all  the  roses 
from  the  Quidnick  Greenhouses,  of 
Quidnick,  R.  I.  They  include  Ophelia, 
Double  White  Killarncy  and  other  i)op- 
ular   sorts. 

Local  seed  and  bulb  merchants  have 
received  some  good  orders  for  Dutch 
bulbs,  but  are  in  doubt  as  to  wliether 
the  bulbs  will  arrive  from  Holland. 
Freesias  have  sold  extremely  well. 
Stocks  of  vegetable  seeds  were  never 
so  low.  Hardly  a  i)ea  or  bean  now  is 
ol)tainable  at  any  of  the  stores  and, 
with  every  probability  of  an  increased 
call  in  1918,  dealers  wonder  where 
they  will  be  able  to  secure  sufficient 
seeds.  Many  growers,  both  commer- 
cial and  private,  are  saving  vegetable 
seeds  this  season  in  anticipation  of 
shortages. 

A.  H.  Hews  &  Co.  have  not  prepared 
any  stock  of  azalea  ])ots  this  season, 
as  pros]iects  of  any  arriving  from  Bel- 
gium  are   remote.     They   are   uncertain

whether  to  accumulate  stocks  for  bulbs 
or  not,  considering  the  uncertainty  of 
any  coming  in  from  Holland.  Their 
season  so  far  has  been  a  good  one, 
labor  troubles  being  the  great  draw- 
back. 

The  .  Janiten  &  Wollrath  Co.,  of 
Clematis  Brook,  have  a  splendid  lot  of 
Cincinnati,'  Lorraine,  Mrs.  Heal  and 
other  winter  begonias,  in  addition  to 
cyclamens,  primulas,  poinsettias  and 
other  plants.  The  company  has  prac- 
tically transformed  its  establishment, 
which  was  formerly  devoted  entirely  to 
roses,  now  specializing  in  pot  plants,  in 
which  they  are  undoubtedly  successful. 

Boston  and  vicinity  sent  a  fair  repre- 
sentation to  the  New  York  convention, 
the  majority  preferring  the  water  route. 
Memories  of  uncomfortable  climatic 
conditions  at  the  convention  here  three 
years  ago  and  a  fear  of  similar  discom- 
fort in  New  York  kept  not  a  few  at 
home. 

James  Wheeler  has  finished  cutting 
liis  early  asters,  but  has  a  large  batch 
of  midseason  and  late  varieties  in  fine 
condition.  His  carnations  now  are  well 
established  and  starting  to  flower. 

No  finer  gladioli  are  coming  into  the 
market  than  the  Panama  and  America 
handled  bv  M.  Liebman  for  Peter 
Hylen,  of  Randolph.  W.  N.  C. 


ST.  LOUIS,  MO. 


The  Market. 

Summer  dullness  still  holds  the  mar- 
ket, and  aside  from  the  morning  sales 
tliere  is  little  doing.  There  was  much 
stock  shipped  in,  with  but  little  that 
could  be  called  first-class.  There  were 
quantities  of  asters  and  gladioli.  Car- 
nations are  few,  and  those  that  arrive 
are  of  poor  quality  and  little  in  demand. 
Roses  also  are  poor  and  show  the  effects 
of  the  hot  weather.  Hydrangeas  and 
tuberoses  are  not  so  plentiful  as  usual 
at  this  time  of  the  year.  Valley  and 
orchids  continue  scarce.  The  few 
Easter  and  auratum  lilies  sell  at  sight. 
Other  flowers  in  the  market  are  Shasta 
daisies,  snapdragons,  cornflowers,  calen- 
dulas and  gypsophilas.  Some  firtc  smilax 
arrived  last  week  and  there  is  plenty 
of  asparagus  and  galax.

ciation  held  its  annual  picnic  August  16 
at  upper  Creve  Coeur  lake.  The  day 
was  fine,  the  attendance  large  and  every 
one  had  a  good  time.  It  was  agreed 
that  it  was  the  best  outing  the  asso- 
ciation ever  has  held.  Many  St.  Louis 
florists  also  attended. 

Tliere  was  a  program  of  sports  for 
the  young  and  old,  and  Deutschmann's 
band  furnished  music  for  the  dancers, 
while  the  big  lake  attracted  the  fisher- 
men, the  banks  being  lined  all  day. 

Among  the  winners  of  the  contests 
were  Mrs.  Hugo  Werner,  who  won  a 
stein;  Mrs.  W.  C.  Smith  and  W.  J. 
Pilcher,  the  dancing  contest;  Mrs.  Will- 
iam Meier,  a  clock,  the  prize  in  the 
guessing  contest;  Miss  Edwards,  daugh- 
ter of  William  Edwards,  the  carnation 
grower,  the  prize  in  the  ball  tlirowing 
contest,  and  Arthur  Lamport,  of  the 
Windier  force,  won  a  liam  in  tlie  horse- 
shoe  pitcliing   contest. 

The  baseball  game  between  the 
wholesalers  and  growers  was  enjoyed 
by  the  crowd.  The  game  ended  in  a 
victory  for  the  growers  by  a  score  of 
4  to  1,  but  tlie  wholesalers  put  the 
blame  for  their  defeat  on  W.  A.  Rowe, 
wlio    acted    as    umpire. 

Various  Notes. 

The  opening  of  the  new  Post-Dispatch 
building  August  13  created  considerable 
work  for  the  florists.  The  office  was 
filled  with  floral  designs.  A  10-foot 
vase  with  a  top-dressing  of  100  Amer- 
ican Beauty  roses  from  Vandervoort 's 
iloral  department,  and  a  10-foot  horse- 
shoe nia(le  by  Grimm  &  Gorly,  were  the 
largest   among   the   many   seen. 

George  Waldbart  and  John  Hoolihan 
made  an  automobile  trip  as  far  south 
as  De  Soto  August  12,  visiting  the 
members  of  the  trade  in  that  section. 
Count  von  Hoffmann  cut  his  vacation 
trij)  short  and  returned  to  the  store 
last  week. 

It  seems  probable  that  three  sons  of 
Charles  Wors  will  see  service  before  the 
war  is  over.  Joseph  Wors  already  is  in 
the  navy  and  is  stationed  at  Boston; 
Charles,  Jr.,  was  accepted  for  the  army 
last  week,  and  Arthur  has  been  drafted, 
but  not  yet  summoned  for  examination. 
Mr.    Wors    says:      "They    are    all   I've

has  many  friends  in  the  trade  here, 
spent  last  week  in  St.  Louis. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Henry  Berning  re- 
turned August  15  from  a  ten  days'  trip 
to  Yellowstone  park. 

Miss  Marie  Eicheson,  designer  for 
Thomas  Carr,  at  the  Union  Market 
store,  is  away  on  a  vacation  for  ten 
days. 

Jules  Bourdet  spent  last  week  fishing 
along  tlie  east  side  of  the  river.  He 
reported  excellent  luck. 

Albert  Gumz,  of  the  Windier  Whole- 
sale Floral  Co.,  is  bringing  fine  eating 
pears  from  his  farm  near  Sapi)ington, 
Mont.,  much  to  the  delight  of  his 
friends. 

Foster,  tlie  Florist,  has  several  thou- 
sand fine  Boston  ferns  at  tlie  Marcus 
avenue  greenhouses,  grown  especially 
for  the  retail  store  at  70.'5  Olive  street. 

It  is  rumored  that  the  new  Statler 
hotel  at  Ninth  and  Washington  avenues 
will  have  a  flower  store  in  tlie  main 
lobby.  It  has  not  been  announced  who 
will  manage  the  store. 

The  Henry  Shaw  annual  banquet  to 
florists,  nurserymen  and  gardeners  will 
1)0  held  during  the  convention  of  jiark 
superintendents  in  September,  instead 
of  in  November,  the  usual  time.  Dele- 
gates to  the  convention  will  be  invited. 

Tlie  Bourdet  Floral  Co.,  .John  Held, 
William  Schray  &  Sons,  Charles  Beyer, 
George  Windier  and  J.  .1.  Fillmore,  on 
the  south  side,  all  have  their  places  in 
shape  for  the  fall  season.  Chrysanthe- 
mum plants  at  these  establishments 
looked  especially  fine. 

L.  Baumann  is  cutting  some  fine  out- 
door roses  at  his  place  at  .■}23^  Portis 
avenue. 

The  quarters  of  tlie  cut  flower  depart- 
ment at  C.  A.  Kuehn's  wholesale  store 
have  been  treated  to  a  coat  of  white 
paint. 

Because  of  the  sudden  illness  of  Mrs.

The  Market. 


The  local  growers  are  unable  to  sup- 
ply the  demands  for  quality  stock,  and 
the  shipments  of  roses  received  from 
Chicago  and  Fort  Wayne  are  quickly 
disposed  of.  Beauties  are  of  good  qual- 
ity and  find  ready  buyers.  Orchids  and 
valley  are  steady  in  supply  and  de- 
mand. Gladioli,  asters  and  carnations 
are  inclined  to  drag  somewliat,  only  the 
best  quality  stock  being  in  demand. 
Sweet  peas  are  becoming  better  in  qual- 
ity, but  are  not  in  demand.  Harrisii 
and  rubrum  lilies  have  shortened  up  in 
quantity,  being  more  steady.  A  good 
stock  of  ferns,  greens  and  smilax  is  to 
be    had. 

Club  Meeting. 

The  Detroit  Florists'  Club  held  its 
regular  meeting  August  15  at  the  Hei- 
delberg. The  election  of  officers  was 
held  au<l  the  results  were:  President, 
E.  A.  Fetters;  vice-president,  A.  J. 
Stahelin;  treasurer,  R.  Rahaley,  and 
secretary,   Henry  Foster.

LARGE  GREENHOUSES 

The  bowling  teams  are  to  meet  the 
first  week  in  September  to  elect  cap- 
tains and  draw  up  rules  for  the  season. 
Joseph  Streit  was  appointed  to  engage 
the  Broadway  alleys,  beginning  the 
middle  of  September.  The  Detroit 
bowling  team  will  bowl  the  first  of 
three  games  with  the  Cleveland  team 
during  the  Cleveland  flower  show. 

Another  topic  of  great  interest  was 
the  planning  of  F.  T.  D.  week  in  De- 
troit for  the  first  week  of  October.  A 
number  of  F.  T.  D.  members  and  their 
employees,  and  a  number  of  supply 
salesmen,  are  expected.  J.  F.  Sullivan 
and  Harry  Taylor  were  appointed  a 
committee  to  urge  the  retailers  to  put 
in  special  F.  T.  D.  window  displays. 
Samuel  Seligman,  of  Wertheimer  Bros., 
New  York,  offered  a  cash  prize  of  $25 
for  the  best  window  display,  out-of- 
town  F.  T.  D.  members  to  be  the  judges, 
and  at  least  ten  entries  to  be  made. 

Various  Notes. 

The  Detroit  florists  who  attended  the 
S.  A.  F.  convention  at  New  York  this 
week  are  E.  A.  Fetters,  A.  J.  Stahelin, 
Joseph   Streit  and   Thomas   F.   Browne.

vice—4000  engravings— 96  full-page  cuts.

According  to  present  indications,  the 
Michigan  bean  crop  will  be  good  this  year. 

The  Denver  seedsman,  C.  K.  Root,  pres- 
ident of  the  Colorado  Seed  Co.,  visited 
Chicago  tradesmen  last  week. 

A  SCARCITY  is  said  to  be  developing  in 
Wisconsin  peas,  although  it  cannot  as  yet 
be  ascertained  how  great  the  shortage  will 
be.  Canning  operations  in  this  district 
have  been  completed. 

Arnold  Eingier,  on  his  return  from  a 
recent  trip  to  Wisconsin,  where  he  in- 
spected the  crops,  reports  that  the  potato 
yield  should  be  heavy,  as  the  crop  appears 
to  be  in  excellent  condition. 

The  Adams  Seed  Co.,  of  Decorah,  la., 
which  commenced  business  August  7  of 
this  year,  has  been  incorporated  by  Bur- 
ton H.  Adams,  Roy  N.  Gilkinson  and 
Walter  G.  Adams.  The  amount  of  cap- 
ital stock  authorized  is  $350,000.

out  of  line  with  other  merchandise.  The

their  willingness  to  cooperate  with  the

sure a  full  pack  by  canners  next  season,

DUTCH  BULBS  ARE  AFLOAT. 

Practically  all  doubts  as  to  the  ar- 
rival of  a  large  part  of  the  season 's 
supply  of  Dutch  bulbs  has  been  re- 
moved. August  20  the  New  York  office 
of  tlie  Holland-America  line  notified 
certain  large  importers  tliat  one  of  its 
steamers  sailed  from  Rotterdam  August 
18,  its  cargo  consisting  jirincipally  of 
bulbs.  In  the  natural  course  of  events, 
the  steamer  should  roach  New  York  in 
about  two  weeks. 


PROPOSED    CATALOGUE    TAX. 

Now  is  the  time  for  seedsmen  and 
others  to  write  to  their  representatives 
and  senators  in  Congress  in  strong  jiro- 
test  against  that  part  of  the  proposed 
Senate  war  revenue  bill  which,  if  it  be- 
comes law,  would  require  a  stamp  tax 
on  all  catalogues  weighing  more  than 
four  ounces  and  sent  by  j)arcel  post. 
The  bill  provides. for  a  tax  of  1  cent  on 
every  ]tarcel  jiost  sliipment  weighing 
more  than  four  ounces — 1  cent  for  each 
25  cents  or  fraction  thereof  represented 
in  the  jiostage  cliarged  for  transporta- 
tion. 

It  is  the  consensus  that  com])aratively 
few  business  men  would  object  to  a  tax 
on  their  parcel  post  shipments  of  mer- 
chandise, on  the  proposition  that  a  tax 
on  finished  business  is  fair;  but  a 
strenuous  objection   is  being  registered 


Snapdragon  Seed 

It  is  a  proved  fact  that,  for  profit  and  easy 
doing,  there  is  no  greenhouse  plant  that  will 
equal  good  Snapdragon.  They  reauire  very  lit- 
tle attention  and  seed  sown  now  will  yield  con- 
tinuous blooms  from  February  until  July, 
giving  a  bumper  crop  at  Memorial,  the  great 
special  flower  day. 

Start  some  seedlings  today  and  be  ready  to 

fill  all  empty  space  after  mums  are  done.    It  is 

far  better  and  cheaper  to  grow  your  own  plants.

BURPErS  SWEET  PEAS 

NEW  EARLY  OR  WINTER-FLOWERING  SPENCERS. 

With  a  keen  appreciation  of  the  splendid  future  of  the  Sweet  Pea,  and  par- 
ticularly of  New  Early  Winter-flowering  or  Long  Season  Spencers,  we  began 
crossing  the  Spencer-flowering  Sweet  Peas  with  the  Early  or  Winter-flowering 
Grandiflora  as  far.  back  as  the  summer  of  1909.  Later  we  have  been  using  that 
magnificent  Australian  variety,  "Yarrawa,"  to  a  great  extent  in  our  crosses. 

We  now  offer  with  the  greatest  confidence  the  splendid  novelties  listed  be- 
low. These  are  all  true,  thoroughly  fixed  in  type  and  are  a  great  improvement 
on  the  various  colors. 

From  sowing  made  under  glass  in  August  they  may  be  flowered  in  time 
for  Thanksgiving.  September  sowing  will  produce  the  finest  of  flowers  by 
Christmas.  If  grown  in  the  open  they  flower  several  weeks  ahead  of  the  Stand- 
ard or  Summer-flowering  Spencers,  and  with  proper  treatment  continue  to  bloom 
quite  as  long  as  that  type. 

Nine  of  these  varieties  were  awarded  nineteen  Certificates  of  Merit  by  tlie  fol- 
lowing:

against  the  stamp  tax  on  catalogues  in 
that  it  is  a  burden  on  business  in  the 
making,  a  thrust  at  an  effort  to  promote 
business. 

The  various  industries  now  are  bring- 
ing pressure  to  bear  on  members  of  Con- 
gress in  an  effort  to  have  catalogues 
exempted  from  the  proposed  tax,  re- 
gardless of  weight,  and  every  seedsman 
who  believes  that  a  tax  of  $10  on  every 
1,000  catalogues  he  sends  by  parcel 
post  would  be  unjust,  can  do  his  part 
by  joining  in  the  chorus  of  protests. 

W.  F.  Therkildson,  chairman  of  the 
postal  laws  committee  of  the  American 
Seed  Trade  Association,  is  author  of 
the  following  letter  to  Hon.  F.  M.  Sim- 
mons, chairman  of  the  Senate  commit- 
tee of  finance: 

My  dear  Sir: 

As  clinimiiui  of  tlio  |)ostal  laws  committee  of 
the  American  Seed  'J'rade  Association.  I  want 
to  enter  a  vitforous  ])rotest  against  tlie  section 
of  H.  It.  4200  as  oil  i)aKe  71  of  tliat  bill,  also 
to  the  anicndinent  as  noted  in  calendar  lOfi. 
report  KW.  i>aj;e  1.3,  Schedule  A,  title  of  War 
Stain])   Tax. 

This,  we  understand,  exempts  catalogues  or 
parcel  post  matter  under  four  ounces.  Now. 
we  lijive  no  objection  to  pa.viiiK  our  just  share 
of  taxes  on  hiisiness  done  or  business  alread.v 
created,  hut  we  do  object  to  the  proposed  ruling 
of  the  post  office  that  this  should  appl.v  to  cata- 
logues. The  catalogue  of  the  mail  order  house 
or  any  other  house  that  does  a  part  of  its  busi- 
ness tiy  mail,  acts  as  the  salesman.  It  is  an 
effort  to  maintain  business  at  normal  durinc 
these  troublous  times.  No  man  should  have  his 
effort  to  create  business  taxed,  and  this  is  ex- 
actly wliat  the  taxation  of  catalogues  means. 
It  will  result  in  just  the  opposite  from  what  the 
post  office  <lesires,  because,  many  cataloRues  will 
be  discontinued  or  they  will  not  be  sent  through 
the  mails.  They  will  be  shipped  by  express  or 
freight  and  distributed  by  carriers.  The  govern- 
mant  will  be  deprived  of  the  postal  reventio:  also 
of  the  reveniie  obtained  from  the  money  order 
business  created  by  the  catalogues;  also  of  the 
revenue  of  the  outgoing  parcel  post  packages 
because  of  the  lack  of  business;  and.  in  all,  it 
is  a   most   unjust  proposition. 

As  stated  alxive.  we  are  perfectly  willing  to 
pay   our  share  of    taxes   on   business   that   is  al-

ready  done  or  orcntod,  l)ut  upon  problematical 
business  or  business  that  lias  not  been  made,  it 
seems   to   us  to   be  an   unfair  measure. 

If  this  amendment  can  so  be  wonlcd  as  to 
exclude  cataloKues,  we  certainly  have  no  ob- 
jection to  payiuK  the  postage  upon  the  parcel 
l)ost  packages  that  are  the  results  of  the  business 
cieated  i)y  the  catalogue. 

This  clause  apparently  does  not  embrace  the 
catalogues  because  they  are  third-class  matter, 
and  beyond  eight  ounces  the.v  are  handled  as 
parcel  post.  If  this  new  provision  pulls  them 
down  to  four  ounces,  it  will  certainly  work  a 
great  hardsliip  not  only  on  the  house  tliat  is- 
sues catalogues,  but  also  upon  every  line  of 
business  that  has  to  do  with  the  making  of  the 
catalogue:  naniel.v,  the  i)rinting  business,  the 
photo-engraving  busint-ss.  the  ink  business,  the 
paper  business,  the  lithograph  business  and  all 
(if  tlieir  kindred  industries,  as  well  as  the  various 
labor  organizations  that  find  their  employment 
in   the   Miannfacture  of  catalogues. 

I  trust  you  can  see  the  seriousness  of  this 
proposed    tax.

AMERICAN  BULB 


NOW  is  the  time  to  place  your  order  for  bulbs  you  will 
need  this  fall.  The  American  Bulb  Co.  provided 
for  a  liberal  supply  to  take  care  of  large  demands,  antici- 
pating large  business  this  winter.  Paper  Whites  from 
France  and  Formosum  lilies  from  Japan  are  now  en  route. 


AMERICAN  BULB  CO.  PRICES  HAVE  NOT  IN- 
CREASED, BECAUSE  WE  CONTRACTED  FOR  OUR 
BOAT  SPACE  LAST  FALL  AT  THE  LOW,  NORMAL 
RATE.  IMPORTERS  WHO  DELAYED  PROVIDING 
FOR  BOAT  SPACE  MUST  CHARGE  MORE  FOR 
THEIR  BULBS  OR  DELIVER  A  CHEAPER  GRADE. 


American  Bulb  Co.  bulbs  are  the  best  bulbs  obtainable.  Our 
sales  on  lilies  since  last  August  passed  the  million  mark.  French 
bulbs,  including  Paper  Whites,  Grand  Soleil  d'Or  (Yellow  PSpt**** 
Whites),  Roman  Hyacinths  and  French  Trumpet  Majors,  have 
reached  several  iflillions.  Is  this  not  evidence  enough,  with  a  few  of 
our  customers'  recommendations,  proving  that  we  have  the  goods, 
to  assure  you  of  good  results?  Write  us  for  our  special  price  list  on 
our  high  quality  bulbs.

Gentlemen:  We  wish  to  compliment  you 
on  the  superior  stock  of  Lilium  Qiganteum 
you  furnished  us  with  this  fall.  The  best 
Easter  Lilies  we  ever  had  was  this  Easter, 
1917,  and  we  would  gladly  recommend  you 
to  anyone. 

Trusting  our  pleasant  business  relations 
with  you  will  continue,  we  are. 

Very  truly  yours,

Gentlemen:  The  Lilium  Giganteum  we 
purchased  of  you  last  season  were  a  nice 
healthy  lot  of  stock.  We  certainly  could 
not  ask  for  a  cleaner  bunch  of  lilies  than 
these  produced. 

Yours  very  truly,

Dear  Sirs :  We  wish  to  thank  you  for  the 
excellentguality  of  the  Cold  Storage  Lilium 
GigasMNK'!n)uJire  sendina  rilif  8  cases  every 
10  days).  The  first  of  them  are  now  coming 
into  bloom  and  are  running  very  good. 

We  also  had  good  results  with  the  4600 
Lilium  Formosum  and  are  through  cutting 
ihem.  They  were  very  much  better  than 
one  case  we  had  from

Sawtelle,  Gal. — Geraniums  have  had 
a  large  sale  this  year,  according  to 
George  B.  Culver,  of  Los  xVngeles,  who 
has  five  acres  here  devoted  to  the  busi- 
ness. 


LOS  ANGELES,  CAL. 


The  Market. 

There  has  been  much  of  the  cheaper 
grades  of  funeral  work  during  the  week 
and  it  has  helped  to  clean  up  some  of 
the  surplus  stock.  Some  of  the  retail- 
ers report  big  business,  but  the  general 
run  of  trade  is  only  fair.  If  full  forces 
were  working,  business  would  seem 
quiet,  but  there  still  are  a  num- 
ber away  on  vacations.  Regarding  the 
quality  of  the  stock,  roses  are  still  poor 
and  thin.  There  are  few  coming  from 
outdoors  and  none  of  them  is  perfect. 
An  improvement  is  noted  in  dahlias  and 
carnations.  Asters  are  gox)d.  Gla- 
dioli are  less  plentiful,  but  finei  in 
color.  For  large  decorations  Golden 
Glow,  goldenrod  and  Amaryllis  Bella- 
donna are  good,  and  there  are  still  more 
good  rubrum  lilies.  The  wild  tiger  lily 
is  shown  in  some  of  the  stores,  and  is 
pretty,  but  it   does   not   sell   well. 

There  are  no  flowering  plants  fit  for 
sliii)ping,  though  a  few  gloxinias  and 
tuberous  begonias  are  displayed.  Bos- 
ton ferns,  palms,  aspidistras  and  rub- 
bers are  about  the  only  pot  stock  that 
can  be  shipped.  In  greens,  adiantum, 
]»lumosus  and  huckleberry  are  most  in 
demand,  with  the  gypsophilas  to  help 
out    in    this    direction. 

Various  Notes. 

Bassett  &  Washburn's  Pacific  coast 
branch  is  prospering,  according  to  E. 
B.  Washburn,  who  has  charge  of  it. 
Mr.  Washburn  says  that  the  young  ken- 
tias,  whicli  are  mostly  grown,  arc  doing 
well,  the  fine  climate  of  Sierra  Madre 
evidently  suiting  them. 

.lames  Taylor,  superintendent  of  the 
Homer  Laughlin  ranch  at  Hollywood,  is 
walking  on  air  tliese  days.  Eigiit  and 
one-half  jiounds  of  boy  arrived  the 
other  day  to  perpetuate  the  family 
name  and  to  inherit  the  ancestral  acres. 
Both  Mrs.  Taylor  and  son  are  doing 
finolv. 

Last  reports  from  Fred  Sperry,  man- 
ager of  the  L.  A.  Floral  Co.,  were  that 
the  ojicration  on  his  eye  had  been  suc- 
cessful and  that  he  had  left  the  hos- 
pital. He  hopes  to  be  able  to  get  around 
in  a  few  days. 

S.  Murata  &  Co.  are  handling  quan- 
tities of  gladiolus  bulbs.  Shi])ping 
business  in  cut  flowers  still  is  a  little  on 
the  dull  side,  especially  for  the  cheaper 
grade  of  stock. 

C.  J.  Groen,  of  Montebello,  was  mar- 
ried August  14  at  the  Odd  Fellows'  hall, 


Los  Angeles,  to  Miss  Laviuia  Malni- 
quist,  and  they  left  for  a  trip  to  Cata- 
lina.  This,  is  to  be  followed' by  a  trip 
to  the  mountains,  and  after  that  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Groen  will  be  at  home  to  their 
friends  at  the  pretty  bungalow  Mr. 
Groen  has  built  at  his  place  at  Monte- 
bello. Mr.  Groen  has  long  been  known 
to  the  trade  here,  first  in  connection 
with  Howard  &  Smith  and  then  in  part- 
nership with  John  Polder,  as  Polder  & 
Groen. 

The  Redondo  Floral  Co.  has  been  busy 
with  funeral  work.  Mr.  Knopf  is  bring- 
ing in  samples  of  lemons  from  his  Santa 
Ana  ranch  and  Mr.  Borden  is  still  put- 
ting in  all  his  spare  time  gardening. 

Some  attention-winning  windows  are 
being  arranged  by  the  Southern  Cali- 
fornia Cut  Flower  Co.  at  its  Seventh 
street  store. 

J.  Ginsburg,  of  Salt  Lake  City,  is 
among  our  visitors  this  week. 

■  Fi^'^d  Howard,  of  Howard  &  Smith, 
says  prospects  are  bright  for  the  nurs- 
ery and  landscape  business,  they  having 
big  contracts  closed  and  in  process  of 
being  closed.  Mr.  Chafee,  manager 
here,  has  joined  the  colors.  The  cut 
flower  and  plant  department  is  keeping 
up  well,  according  to  J.  Grover,  who 
runs   this    end. 

Clarence  Purdy,  for  five  years  on  the 
staff  of  O.  C.  Saake,  has  purchased  the 
store  and  stock  of  L.  H.  Freeman,  of 
212  West  Fourth  street,  and  will  run 
the  business  himself  from  now  on.  Mr. 
Purdy  is  a  hustler  and  all  his  friends 
in  the  business  will  wish  him  the  best  of 
luck.  It  will  be  recalled  that  Mr.  Wil- 
son purchased  the  store  front  Mr.  Free- 
man, but  this  was  a  cross-deal  in  some 
real  estate  transactions  and  Mr.  Wilson, 
not  being  a  florist,  was  anxious  to  get 
rid    of    his   responsibilities    there. 

H.  R.  Richards. 


SAN  FRANCISCO. 


The  Market. 


Chrysanthemums  are  beginning  to  ar- 
rive in  quantities  sufficient  to  make  an 
impression  on  the  market.  Early  Frost, 
Early  Rose  and  Golden  Glow  are  the 
three  most  plentiful,  but  the  supply  as 
yet  is  not  equal  to  the  demand.  So  far 
everything  has  cleaned  up  from  day  to 
day  at  rather  firm  prices.  With  nothing 
else  of  a  competitive  nature  in  exces- 
sive supply,  asters  are  enjoying  a  splen- 
did <!alli.  both  for  out-of-town  shipments 
and  local  orders.  All  colors  show  good 
quality,  but  the  darker  shades  do  not 
take  so  well  as  the  lighter  ones.  They 
seem  to  sell  in  the  order  named — white 
first,  then  lavender,  pink,  purple  and 
red.  Carnations  are  scarce  and  poor. 
One  or  two  of  the  growers  have  started 
to  bring  in  the  new  crop,  however,  so 
plenty  of  good  blooms  are  due  soon. 
Roses  are  improving  gradually,  but 
there  is  room  for  more  improvement. 
Prima  Donna  shows  up  well  and  Russell 
is  good  again.  Onlyk  few  American 
Beauties  are  aTriving. 

Amaryllis  is  coming  satisfactorily 
and  quite  a  bit  of  it  is  being  shipped. 
Rubrum  lilies  are  plentiful  and  all  that 
can  be  desired  in  quality.  They  consti- 
tute an  important  feature  of  the  ship- 
ping business  and  also  figure  promi- 
nently locally.  There  seems  to  be  no  let- 
up in  zinnias.  The  offerings  are  liberal 
and  many  find  an  outlet,  but  the  im- 
pression is  that  too  many  were  pro- 
duced this  year  for  the  good  of  the  mar- 
ket. Dahlias  are  much  in  evidence  and 
gladioli  are  still  in  ample  supply  and 
good  in  quality.  Giant  gaillardias  main- 
tain their  popularity  with  remarkable 
persistency.  The  shortage  of  orchids  is 
proving  a  serious  handicap  at  the  lead- 
ing  stores,    and    there    are    not    enough

Various  Notes. 

B.  M.  Joseph  used  eighteen  dozen 
yellow  chrysanthemums  in  a  decoration 
at  the  Cliff  House  August  14.  Fred 
Bertrand,  manager  of  Joseph's,  reports 
a  stronger  demand  for  dahlias  than  in 
former  years.  He  has  been  unable  to 
fill  all  orchid  orders  of  late. 

V.  Podesta,  of  Podesta  &  Baldocchi, 
lias  no  complaints  to  make  about  busi- 
ness. Tliis  firm  is  liandicapped  more  or 
less  by  the  shortage  of  orchids  and  the 
limitod  supply  of  valley.  In  order  to 
curtail  the  demand,  these  flowers  are 
kept  out  of  sight  at  the  store. 

J.  B.  Pagano  has  resumed  his  duties 
with  Pelicano,  Rossi  &  Co.  after  a  pleas- 
ant vacation  at  Geyserville.  A.  J.  Rossi 
writes  from  Santa  Barbara,  Cal.,  that 
he  is  convalescing  nicely  and  will  re- 
turn liome  in  a  short  time. 

Mrs.  David  Liehtenstein,  of  the  Ter- 
minal Florists,  reports  much  funeral 
work  and  sufficient  transient  trade  to 
make  business  total  up  well  for  this 
time  of  the  year. 

A.  J,  Clarke  came  down  from  Port- 
land, Ore.,  last  week,  accompanied  by 
Mrs.  Clarke. 

The  United  Flower  &  Supply  Co.  is 
doing  AvcU  with  strawflovvers,  especially 
amarantus.  The  demand  for  chrysan- 
tliemums  leaves  no  ground  for  com- 
l>laint,  according  to  Mr.  Onishi. 

Alark  Ebel,  of  Sacramento,  paid  a 
visit  to  the  local  trade  last  week  and 
reported  business  good  in  the  capital 
eity,  notwithstanding  the  hot  weather. 

Fxliibition  space  is  being  rapidly  al- 
lotted for  the  dahlia  show,  w^hich  will 
be  held  in  the  Palace  hotel  September 
3  to  5.  Arrangements  have  been  made 
for  more  than  .^,000  running  feet  of

was  not  permitted  to  mar  the  day's

present,  the^  Oakland  and  San  Bafael

There  can  be  no  complaint  as  to  busi- 
ness, the  retailers  declaring  that  so  far 
the  month  of  August  has  been  better 
than  last  year.  All  stock  that  reaches 
the  market  is  readily  sold;  in  fact,  much 
more  could  be  used  if  the  growers  would 
send  it  in. 

Various  Notes. 

Martin  Eeukauf,  representing  H. 
Bayersdorfer  &  Co.,  of  Philadelphia, 
Pa.,  was  in  Portland  last  week  calling 
on  the  trade. 

The  Canadian  Bank  of  Commerce 
formal  opening  August  13  called  for 
•many  artistic  baskets,  designs  and  bou- 
quets. 

A.  E.  Clarke  has  returned  from  Cali- 
fornia, bringing  with  him  some  fancy 
Celosia  Pride  of  Castle  Gould  and  some 
fine  caladiums.  At  the  Clarke  greefi- 
houses  they  are  having  considerable 
trouble  with  leaf  curler. 

The  Swiss  Floral  Co.  has  enlarged  the 
basement  of  its  office  for  the  storage  of 
fuel.  The  company's  houses  all  are 
planted  with  chrysanthemums,  carna- 
tions, ferns  and  pot  plants.  There  is 
also  a  fine  strain  of  petunias,  which  the 
manager,  J.  G.  Bacher,  has  been  hybrid- 
izing and  selecting  during  the  last  eight 
years.  All  of  theMpetunias  are  single 
ruflfied  blooms,  except  Elks'  Pride, 
which  is  a  true  dark  purple  with  a  plain 
edge.  The  pink  shades  are  Scarlet 
Beauty,  Pride  of  Portland  and  Irving- 
ton  Beauty. 

R.  L.  Scott,  who  recently  left  the 
Portland  Seed  Co.,  has  opened  a  flower 
store  in  Tillamook,  Ore.  He  moved 
one  of  his  greenhouses  to  that  place 
and  has  put  it  on  a  claim  he  haa  six 
miles  from  town. 

Growers  fear  that  there  is  going  to  be 
a  shortage  of  stock  because  of  the  ab- 
sence of  German  seeds,  the  failure  of 
the  Holland  bulbs  to  arrive  and  the 
high  cost  of  those  from  Japan. 

With  labor  demanding  $3  per  day  and 
the  cost  of  fuel  so  high,  the  outlook  is 
not  bright.  W.  G.  W. 


TACOMA,  WASH. 

The  bright  sunshine  gave  way  to 
showers  the  latter  part  of  last  week  and 
this,  if  it  continues,  will  not  tend  to 
improve  the  asters  and  peas.  Peas 
are  still  in  good  condition  and  fill  a  big 
demand.  Asters  are  arriving  in  suffi- 
cient quantities  for  the  present  demand 
and  are  of  fairly  good  quality.  Some 
fair  carnations  are  on  the  market,  but 
are  not  in  strong  demand.  Marigolds 
and  bachelor's  buttons  give  a  dash  of 
color  to  the  otherwise  quiet  tints  of 
asters  and  peas.     The  demand  for  wed-

LUPINES  FOR  WINTER  BLOOMS. 

Will  you  kindly  have  your  specialist 
give  some  advice  on  growing  lupines 
under  glass  for  winter  blooming? 

H.  G.— Mich. 


The  annual  varieties  of  lupines  can  be 
successfully  grown  for  winter  flowering. 
By  sowing  seeds  in  benches  now,  flowers 
may  be  had  for  Christmas  and  the 
plants  will  continue  to  bloom  for  a  con- 
siderable time.  The  earliest  bloomer  is 
a  pink  sort  which  goes  by  a  variety  of 
names,  including  roseus  hybridus,  Pink 
Beauty,  Pink  Perfection,  etc.  This  is 
of  a  clear  pink  color,  just  what  the  mar- 
ket demands.  Sow  half  a  dozen  seeds 
of  this  variety  in  small  patches  a  foot 
apart  each  way,  as  you  would  sow  mignon- 
ette. Thin  out  to  three  or  four. 
Avoid  overhead  syringing,  especially  in 
dark  weather.  Keep  the  soil  con- 
stantly stirred.  Mildew  and  stem-rot 
trouble  lupines  in  midwinter.  For  mil- 
dew, dust  with  sulphur.    To  avoid  stem-

rot,  water  carefully.  Sowings  made 
about  Thanksgiving  will  give  a  good 
crop  in  March  and  April. 

The  varieties  mutabilis  and  Hartwegii 
are  good  for  greenhouse  culture,  but  do 
not  come  into  bloom  as  early  as  hybridus 
roseus.  They  must  be  planted  farther 
apart,  two  feet  each  way  not  being  too 
much.  They  produce  splendid  spikes 
and  bloom  for  a  long  time  if  carefully 
watered  and  well  fed.  They  are  at 
their  best  from  February  onward.  A 
night  temperature  of  45  to  48  degrees 
suits  annual  lupines  and  it  must  not 
exceed  50  degrees  on  any  account.  Give 
them  a  soil  such  as  you  would  use  for 
carnations  or  chrvsanthemums.      C.  W.

Lake  Compounce  August  15.  About 
forty-five  members  were  present  and,  as 
usual,  everyone  had  an  enjoyable  time. 
Swimming,  baseball,  bowling  and  other

Commenting  on  this,  F.  L.  Washburn,

resents 1U8  shipments.  While  no  stock 
has  l)een  received  from  Germany  dur- 
ing the  year,  it  is  surprising  to  note 
that  in  this,  the  third  year  of  the  war, 
there  were  .'^2,466  more  plants  imported 
than  in  1913,  tiie  second  year  of  war." 

BAD  KEROSENE  EMULSIONS. 

Tlie  Insecticide  and  Fungicide  Board 
of  the  U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture 
among  its  service  and  regulatory  an- 
nouncements issued  May  28,  1917,  pub- 
lishes the  following  with  regard  to  kero- 
sene emulsions: 

' '  It  has  been  noted  by  the  department 
that  kerosene  emulsions  made  by  certain 
manufacturers  cause  serious  injury  to 
the  foliage  of  various  i)lants  when  used 
as  a  summer  spray  at  the  dilutions 
recommended  on  the  label  by  the  manu- 
facturer. 

' '  These  so-called  kerosene  emulsions 
on  analysis  often  show  a  water,  soap 
and  oil  content  which  indicates  that 
they  have  been  prepared  in  accordance 
with  the  commonly  used  formula  of  one 
g.illon  of  water,  one-half  pound  of  soap 
and  two  gallons  of  oil,  or  in  accordance 
with  a  formula  which  gives  practically 
tiie  same  percentage  of  oil.  How^ever, 
wlien  they  are  used  on  foliage  at  the 
dilutions  recommended  by  the  manufac- 
turer tliey  seriously  burn  the  foliage  of 
many  varieties  of  plants,  whereas  a 
well-made  kerosene  emulsion  prepared 
by  the  department  in  accordance  with 
tlie  same  formula  does  not  burn  the 
same  varieties  of  plants  to  any  extent 
when  used  as  a  summer  spray  at  the 
same  dilutions.  For  example,  a  well- 
made    kerosene    emulsion    prepared    by

injury  to  the  foliage  of  a  considerable 
number  of  plants  wlien  used  at  a  dilu-

Harrlsburg,    Pa.,    July   20     1915. 
S.    G.    Harris,    Tarrytown,    N.   Y. 

Dear  Sir. — Last  October  I  received 
75  to  100  Peonies  from  you.  I  won't 
sing  "Tell  Me  the  Old,  Old  Story"  for 
you,  but  In  the  last  ten  years  I  have 
been  Peony  stung — harpooned  and 
trimmed  until  I  refuse  to  resent  a  raw 
deal  on  Peonies  any  more.  I  just 
quit.  I  now  take  that  time  to  tell  the 
man  who  has  given  me  a  square  deal 
— "Shake;  you  are  a  gentleman  and  a 
scholar  and  sure  earned  your  money." 

Last   year    I    bought    from   you    and 

.     His  plants  were  good  and  worth 

the  price.  Yours  were  large,  looked 
better  and  were  much  heavier.  This 
season  not  more  than  one-third  of  his 
had  flowers.  All  of  yours,  but  a  few, 
Kad'bUtoms,  from  one  to  five,  many  of 
which  were  very  large.  The  boys 
made  more  than  the  price  paid  for  the 
plants  from  the  blooms  sold  from 
them.  Decoration  Day.  You  sell  the 
best  plants  for  the  money  I  ever  saw. 
If  I  can  arrange,  I  want  to  put  In 
more  this  Fall. 

Some  Son  of  Belial  got  him  hence 
with  the  Peony  catalogue  you  sent 
me.  I  will  certainly  thank  you  for  a 
copy,  as  it  was  one  of  the  few  cata- 
logues I  wanted   to  keep. 

Men  like  you  deserve  the  good  will 
and  patronage  of  decent  people  and 
I  am  glad  I  had  the  good  fortune  to 
deal  with  you. 

Wishing  you  continued  merited  suc- 
cess,  I  am. 

Yours,  truly,,

thus,  hollyhocks,  petunias.  Phlox  Drum-

Preventing  Variations. 
It  is  not  expected,  however,  that 
forms  or  foliage  variations  can  be  fixed 
in  seeds.  They  generally  revert  to  the 
type,  but  there  are  cases  where  forms 
have  become  fixed  from  seed.  For  ex- 
ample, Tsuga  macrophylla,  a  form  of 
Tsuga  canadensis,  holds  its  form  in 
seed.  So  do  Wier's  cut-leaved  maple, 
purple  beach,  golden  spiraea,  the  pur- 
ple-leaved Japanese  maple  and  the  pur- 
ple-leaved barberry.  A  fair  percentage 
of  all  these  come  true.  The  probability 
is  that  all  these  were  seed  variations  in 
the  first  place  rather  than  sports. 

Acclimatization   of   Seedlings. 

The  subject  of  the  acclimatization  of 
plants  from  seed  is  an  interesting  one. 
It  is  going  on  all  the  time  by  natural 
as  well  as  artificial  means.  "What  nature 
has  taken  ages  to  do,  man  may  do  in  a 
lifetime.  The  Japanese  clematis  was 
tender  when  first  introduced,  but  after 
a  generation  of  seedlings  it  proved  per- 
fectly hardy.  The  Irish  yew,  an  im- 
ported plant,  is  not  hardy  here,  but  its 
seedlings  are  perfectly  hardy.  They 
have  been  left  out  without  any  protec- 
tion since  they  were  six  inches  high. 

For  seeds  sown  in  spring  under  glass, 
having  a  short  period  of  germination, 
it  is  customary  to  use  seed  boxes,  2xl2x 
16  inches.  They  are  easy  to  handle  and 
to  take  care  of  in  the  matter  of  water 
and  do  not  permit  an  overabundance  of

material.  Good,  light  loam  is  best  for 
most  seeds.  It  should  be  made  firm  and 
should  be  marked  out  for  seeds  big 
enough  to  be  seen  easily.  It  is  hardly 
necessary  to  cover  the  seeds;  merely 
give  the  box  a  shake.  Extremely  fine 
seeds,  such  as  begonia,  gloxinia  and 
streptocarpus,  should  be  sown  broadcast, 
first  covering  the  soil  with  a  sprinkling 
of  sphagnum  moss.  This  makes  an  ex- 
cellent germinating  medium  and  should 
be  tried  wherever  there  is  difficulty  in 
germination. 

Indoor  and  Outdoor  Sowing. 

We  divide  our  seeds  into  batches,  one 
for  indoors  and  one  for  outdoors.  The 
indoor  batch  includes  all  greenhouse 
plants,  such  as  grevilleas,  dracaenas, 
gloxinias,  begonias  and  primulas.  We 
also  sow  some  tender  annuals  indoors, 
such  as  asters,  salvias,  pentstemons, 
ageratums,  lobelias,  zinnias  and  border 
antirrhinums,  and  such  as  we  want 
early,  and  all  fine  seeds  of  hardy  an- 
nuals that  would  be  lost  if  sown  in  the 
open. 

Hardy  annuals  and  some  perennials 
are  sown  outdoors  in  late  April  or  May. 
Among  these  are  agrostemmas,  alyssum, 
candytuft,  Gypsophila  elegans,  lark- 
spurs, four  o 'clocks,  calliopsis,  Indian 
pinks,  lupines,  sweet  sultans,  migno- 
iiette,    marigolds.    Phlox    Drummondii,

poppies,  sunflowers  and  sweet  peas.  Bien-

bedding,  such  as  pansies,  violas,  myoso- 
tis,  foxgloves,  Canterbury  bells  and

Care  of  Indoor 

There  is  more  trouble  with  seeds  sown 
indoors  than  out.  Abundance  of  light 
and  air  as  the  seedlings  come  up  will 
do  much  to  ward  off  the  various  fungoid 
diseases  that  attack  young  plants.  The 
same  soil  and  conditions  with  regard 
to  ventilation  and  shade  will  not  do  for 
all.  Generally  as  seeds  germinate  tl^py 
are  to  be  shifted  to  cooler  quarters"  to 
harden  them  off.  The  seedlings  must  be 
pricked  off  as  soon  as  large  enough  to 
handle.  With  outdoor  seeds  all  that  is 
necessary  is  to  see  that  they  have  plen- 
ty of  water. 

We  frequently  find  seedlings  of  ber- 
ried and  fruit-bearing  plants  growing 
where  the  seeds  have  been  dropped  by 
birds.  If  berried  seeds  are  to  be  sown 
as  soon  as  ripe,  it  will  be  better  to  wash 
them  out  in  order  to  stimulate  this  nat- 
ural process,  though  sometimes  when 
seeds  are  stratified,  a  method  described 
farther  on,  the  natural  process  of  decay 
does  practically  the  same  thing.

Adiantum  Farleyense  Gloriosum 

The  Glory  Fern 

(Ruhm  von  Mordrecht) 

This  sijlendid  Fern,  which  so  closely  resembles  Adiantum  Far- 
]eyense  in  appearance  and  which  does  not  require  the  special  skill 
and  care  in  growing  that  is  necessary  to  produce  good  plants  of  A. 
Farleyense,  has  Quickly  made  a  place  for  itself  not  only  on  account 
of  the  fact  that  it  can  be  produced  for  little  over  half  that  of  grow- 
ing Farleyense,  but  also  because  either  in  a  cut  state  or  as  plants 
used  in  decorative  work,  it  will  j2ti!^Xft3t  the<eid  variety  ten  to  one, 
making  it  an  available  subject  where  Farleyense  cannot  be  used  at 
all.  Since  its  introduction  some  fiv^.OT  six  Vears  ago  there  has 
never  been  a  supply  large  enough  to  iheet  the'demaM. 

We  have  this  season  prepared  an  extra  large  stock  and  we  offer

The  Market. 


There  was  plenty  of  vim  to  the  whole- 
sale market  last  week,  particularly  dur- 
ing the  latter  part  of  the  week.  Prac- 
tically everything  except  asters  of  the 
common  grades  cleaned  up.  Easter 
and  other  lilies,  so  plentiful  last  month, 
were  no  exception  and  were  unobtain- 
able after  early  Saturday.  The  market 
is  destitute  of  cattleyas  and  valley  at 
present,  and  the  limited  offerings  of 
sweet  peas  are   of  poor  quality. 

Retailers  report  a  good  week's  busi- 
ness, several  of  the  store  forces  being 
prevented  from  attending  the  florists' 
annual  outing  because  of  too  much 
work. 

The  Annual  Outing. 

The  annual  outing  and  picnic  of  the 
Cleveland  Florists'  Club  was  held 
August  16  at  Willough  beach  and 
proved  to  be  one  of  the  most  enjoyable 
occasions  of  a  like  nature  in  the  history 
of  the  club.  Everybody,  old  or  young, 
of  either  sex,  forgot  business  cares 
and  entered  into  the  proper  spirit  of 
the  event.  The  committee  in  charge 
is  to  be  congratulated  on  the  splendid 
program  prepared  and  on  the  superb 
manner  in  which  the  entire  list  of 
sports  was  ])ut  through.  The  entries 
in  all  the  contests-  were  large  and  there 
was  spirited  rivalry  for  the  liberal 
prizes.  That  the  spirit  of  youth  is  per- 
ennial in  the  heart  of  the  florist  was 
attested  to,  not  only  by  the  sprightli- 
ness  of  mature  men  and  women — both 
fat  and  lean — but  also  by  the  vivacity 
of  elder  members  of  the  profession, 
who  were  present  in  goodly  numbers. 

Chief  among  the  features  of  the  pro- 
gram was  the  baseball  game  between 
the  wholesalers  and  retailers.  Strange 
that  even  in  their  play  these  two 
branches  of  the  trade  try  to  get  the 
best  of  one  another!  As  usual,  the 
former  were  badly  worsted,  and  such 
alibis  as  absence  of  best  players  and 
lack  of  practice  are  now  much  in  cir- 
culation about  the  wholesale  market. 
The  truth  of  the  matter  was  that  the 
heavy  bat  work  of  the  victors,  the 
masterly  pitching  of  Charles  Graham 
and     the    poor   support    given     Pitcher

NO  AIR  VALVES  NEEDED. 

I  am  planning  to  build  an  addition  to 
my  greenhouse,  according  to  the  en- 
closed plan.  The  houses  will  be  even- 
span,  eleven  feet  high  to  the  ridge  and 
seven  feet  high  to  the  plate.  The  south 
wall  will  consist  of  two  feet  of  concrete 
blocks  and  five  feet  of  glass.  The  north 
side  will  be  boarded,  with  tarred  paper 
on  the  outside.  The  west  end  of  the 
south  house  will  have  three  feet  of  sid- 
ing and  the  remainder  will  be  glass. 
The  west  end  of  the  north  house  will  be 
protected  by  the  workroom.  The  east 
end  of  both  houses  will  contain  about 
thirty-three  square  feet  of  glass;  the 
rest  will  be  sided  up.  I  have  a  No.  4 
Kroeschell  boiler  and  shall  use  a  hot 
water  system.  I  wish  to  use  2-inch 
pipe  for  returns  and  I  want  a  tempera- 
ture of  65  to  70  degrees  in  zero  weather. 
Where  is  the  best  place  to  connect  the 
pipe  for  the  exjjansion  tank?  Will  it 
be  necessary  to  put  air  valves  in  the 
returns?  E.  A.  B. — Mich. 


As  nearly  as  we  can  make  out  from  the 
sketch  an(i  description,  the  south  house 
is  14x48,  with  five  feet  of  glass  in  the 
south  wall.  The  other  house  is  14x35, 
with  the  workroom  and  boiler  cellar  at 
the  west  end. 

To  keep  up  a  temperature  of  70  de- 
grees in  zero  weather,  we  would  run 
three  2i'2-inch  flow  pipes  in  each  house. 
Place  one  upon  each  plate  and  the  other 
two  feet  below  the  ridge.  In  the  south 
house  run  twelve  2-inch  returns,  ar- 
ranged in  three  coils.  For  the  north 
house  use  ten  returns,  in  three  coils.  If 
the  main  flow  pipe  to  each  house,  which 
should  be  3-inch,  has  a  slight  slope  and  if

grounds  at  Washington. 

A  No  11  Kroeschell  Boiler  was  Installed  In  1906  for 
the  high  temperature  houses.  This  boiler  replaced  a  n\miber  of 
other  makes  and  made  a  remarkable  record  for  fuel  economy.

We  are  erecting  a  greenhouse  35x100 
feet,  with  three  feet  of  glass  in  each 
side  wall  and  the  front  gable  all  glass, 
and  we  wish  to  know  how  to-  arrange 
the  piping.  We  have  a  quantity  of 
2l^-inch  and  SV^inch  pipe  which  we 
prefer  to  use.  We  have  a  Lord  &  Burn- 
ham  sectional  hot  water  boiler,  rated 
at  4,500  square  feet.  The  house  runs 
north  and  south  and  is  protected  at  the

Texas,  but  for  an  inside  temperature 
of  60  degrees,  where  tlie  temperature 
seldom  falls  below  10  degrees  above 
zero  outside,  we  would  suggest  the  use 
of  three  overhead  flows  and  twelve  2^2- 
incli  returns.  One  flow  may  be  placed 
on  eacli  plate  and  the  other  two  or  three 
feet  under  the  ridge.  Four  returns  may 
be  connected  with  each  of  the  wall 
flows  and  they  maj'  be  located  either

A  Uniform  lemperature 
In  ybur  Greenhouses: 

ABSOLUTE  CONTROL  of  temperature  conditions  in  your 
'*  greenhouses  in  June  and  January  alike — is  what  you  ^et 
from  the  easily  installed  MoreKead  System.  Just  attack 
the  comparatively  inexpensive

SYSTEM 


to  your  present  boiler  rooin  equipment  and  you 
can  dismiss  the  winter  months'  problem  from 
your  mind. 

Eliminates  Sluggish  Circulabion 
In  Tour  Steam  Lines 

Substituted  for  the  messy  steam  pumps  you  are 
perhaps  usin^  now — the  Morehead  System  will 
eliminate  slu^^ish  circulation  forever — and  keep 
all  your  steam  pipes  clear  of  condensation — re- 
turning it  to  the  boilers  immediately  as  pure  hot 


^ 


feed  water — in  just  the  condition  to  use  a^ain 
with  the  least  consumption  of  fuel. 

Prepare  for  iSexl:  Winter  Now! 

Now — before  the  frigid  blasts  of  another  winter 
are  upon  us — is  the  time  to  find  out  what  the 
Morehead  System  can  do  for  you.  Write  imme- 
diately for  proof  that  the  coal  man  actually  pays 
for  your  Morehead  System  in  a  few^  months'  time

TRAVIS  ROCKER  GRATES 


'••  ,;•' 


The  interlocking  finger  rocker  grates  are  unquestionably  the  most  practical  for  economical  firing. 

We  guarantee  them  'to  handle  slack  successfully,  also  the  Pocahontas  coal,  and  there  will  be  no 
waste  fuel  in  the  ash  pit.  Cheap  coal  that  makes  bad  cinders  is  handled  in  the  most  successful  manner 
possible. 

The  only  proper  method  to  handle  a  coal  fire  is  to  properly  admit  the  draft. 

You  will  conquer  the  firing  problem. 

Let  us  explain  to  you  the  only  method  of  handling  a  coal  fire. 

It  is  only  what  every  fireman  is  trying  to  accomplish. 

Our  explanation  will  be  of  interest  to  you.    For  prices  give  the  exact  size  of  your  grate  surface.

distributed  under  the  middle  benches. 
In  case  solid  beds  are  used  for  the 
middle  of  the  house,  it  will  only  be  nec- 
essary to  use  two  3% -inch  flow  pipes  on 
the  plates,  with  fourteen  returns  on  the 
walls  or  under  the  side  benches.  Pro- 
vided a  temperature  of  50  degrees  is 
all  that  is  required,  or  if  nothing  much 
below  20  degrees  need  be  provided  for, 
it  will  be  possible  to  omit  three  or  four 
of  the  return  pipes.  A  boiler  of  the 
capacity  mentioned  will  heat  two  or 
three  houses  of  this  size.

The  Florists'  Review 


August  23,  1917. 


INDIANAPOLIS,  IND. 


The  Market. 

Although  favored  by  cooler  weather, 
the  lack  of  rainfall  has  caused  a  scar- 
city of  some  outdoor  flowers.  Asters 
can  hardly  be  said  to  be  in  short  supply, 
but  they  are  of  inferior  quality,  good 
asters  being  few.  Gladioli  are  off  crop, 
the  hot,  dry  weather  causing  them  to 
dry  up.  The  new  crop  of  short  roses  is 
making  its  appearance.  The  blooms 
are  of  fair  quality,  but  limited  in  num- 
ber. Lilies,  which  have  been  rather 
abundant  all  summer,  are  off  crop. 

Ferns  have  been  receiving  a  fair  call. 
Funeral  work  continues  active,  as  does 
the  call  for  flowers  for  the  sick.  Sum- 
mer weddings  are  popular  this  season 
and  constitute  an  important  item  in  the 
business  done. 

Various  Notes. 

Janisch  &  Weiss,  proprietors  of  the 
Broad  Eipple  Floral  Co.,  have  discon- 
tinued business. 

Albert  Stanley  recently  purchased  a 
new  pleasure  car. 

A.  Young,  of  the  Young  Tool  Co., 
Casey,  111.,  visited  the  city  last  week. 

The  Hoosier  Floral  Co.  has  been  cut- 
ting a  fine  late  gladioli.  This  concern's 
dahlias  are  doing  well,  but  are  suffering 
from  the  drought.  If  rain  comes  soon 
enough,  the  plants  will  produce  fine, 
large  blooms;  if  not,  they  will  be  prac- 
tically a  failure. 

The  Circle  Flower  Store  has  added  a 
bookkeeper  to  its  staff. 

Mrs.  A.  P.  Beynolds  is  recovering 
slowly. 

Mrs.  William  Roepke  and  son,  Victor, 
have  just  returned  from  a  trip  to  Can- 
ada and  through  the  east. 

While  A.  F.  J.  Baur  is  attending  the 
S.  A.  F.  convention  in  New  York  his 
family  is  visiting  at  Richmond,  Ind. 

Fred  Hukriede's  son  and  daughter 
have  been  visiting  at  Fort  Wayne. 

The  September  meeting  of  the  State 
Florists'  Association  of  Indidna  will 
be  held  Tuesday,  September  11,  at 
Columbus,  Ind.  Further  particulars 
will  be  mailed  to  the  members.  The 
October  meeting  will  be  October  31,  at 
Evansville.  At  the  October  meeting 
there  will  be  a  good  showing  of  chrys- 
anthemums. 

At  the  place  of  Henry  Rieman  prepa- 
rations are  rapidly  being  made  for 
winter.    All  is  order  and  neatness. 

Baur  &  Steinkamp  have  been  busy 
with  carnation  and  poinsettia  orders.

DENVER,  COLO. 


The  Market. 


The  weather  was  cloudy  and  cool 
last  week,  but  rain  is  badly  needed. 
Business  has  improved,  decorations  and 
funeral  orders  keeping  the  retailers 
busy.  Gladioli  rule  the  market  and  are 
unusually  fine.  Sweet  peas  are  arriving 
in  larger  quantities,  but  the  stems  are 
short  and  the  flowers  are  not  so  good 
as  they  have  been.  Snapdragons  are 
plentiful  and  good.  Asters  are  improv- 
ing, but  as  yet  have  not  reached  their 
prime.  Dahlias  are  of  good  quality,  but 
scarce.     Good  adiantum  is  plentiful. 

Denver  is  frequented  by  many  tour- 
ists, but  they  have  not  proved  to  be 
flower  buyers. 

Various  Notes. 

Defective  wiring  caused  a  fire  in  an 
office  above  the  store  of  the  Park 
Floral  Co.  No  damage  Avas  done  to 
the  store  or  conservatory. 

Adolph  F.  Konecny,  foreman  at  the 
Crown  Hill  cemetery  greenhouses,  has 
returned  from  a  two  weeks'  vacation 
at  Wichita,  Kan.,  his  former  home. 

W.  Wilmore,  Jr.,  is  having  some 
splendid  window  displays  of  outdoor 
flowers  from  his  place  at  Wheatridge. 

Otto  Sandberg  recently  purchased  a 
machine,  and  to  give  it  a  tryout  he  took 
Charles  France,  Robert  Knoth  and  J. 
Erickson  on  a  week-end  trip  to  northern 
Colorado  and  southern  Wyoming. 

J.  A.  Valentine  has  gone  to  his  cabin 
in  the  mountains,  forty-five  miles  from 
Denver,  for  a  rest.  The  Park  Floral  Co. 
is  erecting  a  house  25x125  to  take  the 
place  of  a  house  recently  torn  down. 

E.  Johnson,  of  Colorado  Springs,  vis- 
ited the  trade  here  last  week.  He  re- 
ports business  good  witli  the  Pike's 
Peak  Floral  Co. 

Misses  Lena  Webb  and  Leonora  Will- 
iams are  having  their  vacations.  Miss 
Webb  is  at  home  and  Miss  Williams 
went  to  Eldorado  Springs. 

The  wholesale  plant  houses  report  a 
fine  shipping  business,  especially  in 
2-,inch  and  3-inch  cyclamens,  primulas 
and  cinerarias.  Ferns  in  5-inch  and 
6-inch  pots  also  are  having  a  good  sale.

Greenhouse  White  Paint 

Protect  Your  Houses  Before  Cold  Weather  Sets  In 


Remember- 


all  ordinary  paint  will  not  do. 
The  conditions  are  extreme — not 
to  say  remarkable — and  it  takes 
a  paint  complying  with  certain 
technical  requirements  to  give 
satisfaction.  You  will  find  Green- 
house White  to  be  the  paint. 

The  only  paint  that  will 
not  blister  or  peel 


f=*^lNX 


Greenhouse  White 

is  made  for  us  by  paint  experts, 
by  people  who  have  made  a  life- 
long study  of  painting  problems, 
and  in  buying  a  product  which 
bears  their  endorsement  you  can 
depend  upon  securing  a  product 
satisfactory  in  all  respects  for 
the  purpose  intended. 


There  isn't  a  more  honest  Paint  made  than  this  and  it  is  backed  up  by  an  institution  whose  reputation 
for  honest  dealing  cannot  be'  questioned. 

Try  5  gallons  and  be  convinced — it  won't  ccst  you  much— when  you  consider  the  quality.

Drummond's  Tobacco  Stick 


(Patent  Applied  For.) 


THE  IDEAL  "SMOKER"  FOR 


GREENHOUSES,  CONSERVATORIES  AND  HOTBEDS 

A  Combination  of  Paper  Pulp  and  Black  Tobacco  Extract,  of  great  Nicotine  strength, 

made  by  our  new  process, 

FOR  GREEN  FLY,  BLACK  APHIS  AND  THRIPS 


POINTS  OF  SUPERIORITY: 

Most  convenient  and  easiest  to  use  of  any  form  of  fumigating  paper. 

The  cigar-shaped  "sticks"  when  once  Jighted  will  not  go  out  until  completely  consumed. 

They  burn  longer  than  any  other  paper  fumigant,  usually  45  minutes  or  more. 

The  "sticks"  can  be  assembled  in  any  part  of  a  house  where  heavier  fumigation  may  be 

necessary.    A  small  boy  can  be  entrusted  to  place  the  "sticks"  in  position  and 

light  them,  thus  saving  the  florist  valuable  time. 
Drummond's  Tobacco  Sticks  will  not  blaze  when  lighted.      Burned  in  an  inverted  position 

on  wire  holders.    (Six  holders  are  placed  in  each  carton.)

KANSAS  CITY,  MO. 


The  Market. 

The  condition  of  the  market  im- 
proved last  week,  there  being  a  better 
supply  of  stock,  although  the  demand 
was  about  stationary.  Good  roses  are 
more  plentiful  and  prices  remain  the 
same.  Asters  and  gladioli  have  im- 
proved in  both  quantity  and  quality, 
more  home-grown  stock  now  being  re- 
ceived. Reports  from  Kansas  City, 
Kan.,  say  business  there  is  good,  con- 
sidering the  time  of  year. 

Various  Notes. 

Charles  Thomas  is  busy  remodeling 
his  store,  and  is  erecting  a  service  build- 
ing at  the  back  of  his  establishment. 
His  chrysanthemums  and  cyclamens 
look  well. 

Mr.  Drummond,  of  the  Kansas  City 
Tobacco  Products  Co.,  says  sales  have 
been  good  recently. 

The  Wm.  L.  Rock  Flower  Co.  has 
some  fine  roses  and  lilies.  Mr.  Rock 
is  in  Minnesota  and  will  be  gone  until 
September  1. 

Samuel  Murray  had  an  elaborate  wed- 
ding decoration  last  week.  Funeral 
business  has  been  good  at  this  store. 

T.  J.  Noll  &  Co.  report  that  stock 
is  more  plentiful  and  of  a  better  grade. 

Arthur  Newell  had  a  big  run  on  hos- 
pital bouquets  last  week. 

Jacob  Hepting  has  so  far  recovered 
from  his  illness  that  he  is  able  to  be 
about  the  greenhouses,  but  still  is  too 
weak  to  do  much  work.  His  carnations 
and  chrysanthemums  are  doing  well. 

The  George  M.  Kellogg  Flower^  & 
Plant  Co.  greenhouses  are  producing 
quantities  of  stock  now.  Mrs.  Lamb 
is  taking  a  vacation  in  Minnesota  and 
will   return   about   September   1. 

"W.  J.  Barnes  reports  that  his  estab- 
lishment is  in  good  shape  for  fall  and 
winter  business,  and  that  the  pot  plants 
are  the  best  he  has  ever  grown.

FORT  WAYNE,  IND. 


The  Market. 


Business  was  exceptionally  dull  dur- 
ing the  first  part  of  last  week,  but 
August  18  and  19  the  demand  was  ex- 
cellent, as  there  was  a  large  quantity 
of  funeral  work.  Outside  of  this,  how- 
ever, the  activity  was  limited. 

The  supply  is  excellent  in  summer 
flowers.  Gladiolus  receipts  are  increas- 
ing, especially  of  America,  Chicago 
White,  Perfection  and  Arizona.  There 
are  a  fine  lot  of  asters  and  a  number  of 
good  summer  roses.  Some  of  the  grow- 
ers are  sending  field-grown  carnations 
into  the  market  that  are  of  good  qual- 
ity. Lilies  are  more  abundant,  gigan- 
teums  the  most  plentiful,  then  rubrums. 
Cattleyas  are  scarce,  as  also  are  dendro- 
biums.  Some  excellent  hydrangeas  are 
to  be  had,  and  Golden  Glow,  snap- 
dragons and  coreopsis  make  up  the  vari- 
ety. Tuberoses  in  pots  are  to  be  seen 
in  some  of  the  windows. 

Various  Notes. 

W.  J.  Vesey,  Jr.,  left  August  18  for 
eastern  points,  intending  to  spend  sev- 
eral days  in  New  York  during  the  S.  A. 
F.  convention.  Good  lilies,  orchids, 
roses  and  asters  are  being  cut  at  the 
Vesey   greenhouses. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Aaron  Shive  motored  to 
Fostoria,  O.,  last  week,  where  they 
spent  several  days.  They  were  accom- 
panied by  their  four  sons. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Edmund  Lanternier 
have  returned  with  their  family  from 
an  outing  of  two  weeks  at  Snow  lake. 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Clem  Lanternier  motored 
to  Snow  lake  last  week  for  a  visit. 
A.  J.  Lanternier  &  Co.  are  cutting 
blooms  from  their  field  carnation 
plants.  They  are  showing  good  lilies, 
tuberoses,  asters  and  outdoor  flowers. 
Business  was  good  with  them  last  week. 

The  repairs  at  the  store  of  the  Flick 
Floral  Co.  have  just  been  finished. 

Weddings  and  funeral  work  have 
kept  things  on  the  move  at  the  Doswell 
Floral  Co.  store.  Some  fine  Easter 
lilies  and  Ophelia  roses  were  noted. 

The  Wright  gladiolus  farm,  west  of  the 
city,  is  a  flourishing  place  these  days. 
Mr.  Wright  has  all  of  the  best  varieties, 
as  well  as  a  number  of  the  newer  ones. 

Mrs.  Selma  Schilling,  aged  41  years, 
wife  of  Adolph  Schilling,  the  well- 
known  gardener,  died  here  August  6. 
She  had  been  an  invalid  for  one  year. 
Surviving,  besides  the  husband,  are  four 
children.  R-  F.

"The  Skinner  System  of  Irri- 
Katioo  is  the  simplest  and  easiest 
to  install,  as  well  as  the  most 
practical  I  have  ever  heard  of." 

This  is  what  Mr.  R.  Scheffler,  of 
Wheaton,  Illinois,  writes: 

"The  Skinner  System  can  be

Efficient  Houses 


wm 


Our  long  experience  in  greenhouse  construction  enables  us  to  give  the  best  in 
service,  material  and  workmanship,  and  the  purchaser  of  ICKES-BRAUN  con- 
struction  can    invest   without  a  doubt  as  to  the  efficiency   of  his   houses.     Each  detail  is 
perfected  and  approved— there  is  no  experimenting  with  your  money. 

Our  new  "LEAK-PROOF"  gutter  continues  to  prove  its  superiority.  In  a  new  range  of 
houses  recently  erected,  for  which  we  furnished  11  runs  200  feet  long,  there  was  not  one 
single  leak  noticeable  during  a  downpour  which  filled  the  gutter  to  overflowing.  Have  you 
anything  similar  to  show?

A.   J.   STAHELIN'S 

Foley  Iron  Frame  House 

And  what  he  thinks  about  it 


Kedford.  Mich..  August  lllh,  liU7. 
Geatlemen  : 

Of  all  the  houses  on  my  place,  the  7'-' x  400  ft.  house  which  you  built  for 
me  last  year  has  given  ine  the  greatest  satisfaction.  It  is  as  well  designed  as 
any  house  I  have  ever  seen,  and  was  erected  with  the  greatest  care.  I  am  es- 
pecially pleased  with  the  painting  and  glazing.  (Signed) 

A.  .1.  Si  \ III  1.1  \. 

And  we  will  further  add  that  this  "Foley  House"  was  not  his  first  Iron  Framer,  as  many  tlorists 
know.  A  short  time  nefore  he  placed  the  order  with  us  for  the  above  house,  another  builder  had  com- 
pleted his  tirst  one.  But  Mr.  Stahelin,  like  most  up-to-date  growers,  wanted  the  best  to  be  had,  saw 
that  we  had  the  best  house  and  had  us  build  it  for  him.

A  CATERPILLAR  EXTERMINATOR. 

I  am  mailing  a  sample  of  the  grubs 
which  are  devouring  the  leaves  of  my 
grape  vine  and  which,  I  understand,  are 
doing  much  damage  to  elm  trees  in 
different  parts  of  the  city.  Can  you 
tell  me  the  name  of  this  pest,  and  how 
to  destroy  it?  Is  there  a  likelihood  of 
its  attacking  onions,  cabbage  or  toma- 
toes after  it  has  finished  the  grape  vine? 
I  immersed  the  specimen  in  alcohol  and 
this  changed  its  color  a  little. 

J.  T.  H.— Wis. 


The  caterpillar  was  shriveled  up  when 
received  and  I  could  not  identify  it. 
For  all  pests  of  this  description  a  poison- 
ous spray  is  necessary.  The  most  efi'ec- 
tive  is  one  of  arsenate  of  lead  paste, 
four  pounds  to  fifty  gallons  of  wator.  It 
is  adhesive  and  will  not  wash  off  like 
Paris  green,  hellebore  or  other  poisons. 
It  should  not  be  used  on  cabbajje,  let- 
tuce or  other  vegetables  .just  heading 
up,  however.  The  arsenate  of  lead  can 
be  safely  applied  to  all  trees  and  jhrubs, 
also  to  quite  a  number  of  vegetable 
plants,  including  potatoes,  tomatoes, 
egg-plants,  beans,  peas  and  any  others 
which  caterpillars  may  attack.  Use  a 
fine,  misty  spray  nozzle  when  applying 
the  poison.  C.  W. 


GYPSOPHILA   PANICULATA 

Please  give  me  cultural  directions 
for  Gypsophila  paniculata  and  a  de- 
scription of  the  plant.     E.  A.  R. — 111. 


Gypsophila  paniculata  carries  cloud- 
like heads  of  small,  pure  white  flowers. 
It  is  fine  for  cutting.  The  spikes  are 
wide  and  much  branched.  Seed  sown 
in  spring  will  flower  the  following  year. 
A  few,  if  sown  early,  will  bloom  the 
same  year.  It  grows  to  a  height  of  two 
to  two  and  one-half  feet.  Allow  four- 
teen inches  of  space  between  the  plants 
in  the  rows.  There  is  a  double  white 
form  superior  to  the  single  for  cutting, 
not  procurable  from  seeds.  C.  W. 


THREE    ACRES    OF    PERENNIALS. 

I  want  to  devote  about  three  acres  to 
the  growing  of  hardy  perennials.  One 
acre  would  be  used  as  a  show  ground  of 
well  established  stock;  the  other  two 
acres  would  be  used  for  the  growing  of 
the  young  stock  for  sale.  I  am  summer- 
fallowing  this  ground  at  the  present 
time,  and  wish  to  know  whether  I  can 
grow  from  seed  a  good  part  of  my  stock. 
Shall  I  sow  now,  and  would  you  recom- 
mend sowing  in  flats  in  the  greenhouse 
or  outside  in  frames?  Shall  I  trans- 
plant into  frames  or  into  nursery  rows? 
Will  seeds  sown  now  produce  stock  that 
will  be  ready  to  market  this  fall  and 
what  proportion  shall  I  hold  until 
spring?  I  would  need  such  a  list  as  has 
been  advertised  for  several  weeks  on 
page  1  of  The  Review,  supplemented 
with  as  many  others  as  could  be  grown 
in  this  locality.  J.  O.  S. — N.  Y. 


A  good  many  varieties  of  biennials 
and  perennials  can  be  advantageously 
sown  now.  Frames  which  are  conve- 
nient to  water,  and  which  can  be  kept 
shaded  until  the  seedlings  are  germi- 
nated, are  better  than  any  outdoor  beds. 
However,  for  forget-me-nots,  daisies, 
violets,  pansies,  coreopsis  and  holly- 
hocks, outdoor  beds  a  yard  wide,  which 
can  be  well  pulverized  and  can  be  given 
water  during  dry  weather  and  a  little 
overhead  shade  from  cheesecloth,  an- 
swer well.  Unless  you  are  sure  of  moist, 
showery  weather,  it  is  safer  to  trans- 
plant into  frames  and  later  put  outdoors 
in  beds  or  nursery  rows.  Some  plants 
will  be  large  enough  to  sell  this  fall, 
but  the  majority  will  not  be  sufficiently 
robust  until  spring.  Pansies,  myosotis, 
violas,  daisies,  lupines,  Chinese  lark- 
spurs, hollyhocks,  coreopsis  and  rockets 
are  a  few  which  could  be  sold  in  the  fall 
if  required.     Sow  all  these  at  once. 

Some  other  good  perennials  to  sow 
now  are:  Digitalis,  or  foxgloves;  GaU- 
lardia  grandiflora;  sweet  williams;  del- 
phiniums, both  hybrids  and  chiinense; 
Lupinus  polyphyllus,  pink,  white  and 
blue;  Papaver  orientale  and  nudicaule; 
aquilegias,  in  which  long-spurred  hy- 
brids are  best;  Iberis  sempervirens  and 
gibraltarica;  Arabis  albida;  Pyrethrum 
roseum;  Valeriana  officinalis;  Stokesia 
cyanea;  Platycodon  grandiflorum; 
Campanula  carpatica;  Hibiscus  Mos- 
cheutos;  Tritoma  grandiflora;  Hesperis 
matronalis;  Dianthus  plumarius;  Alys- 
sum  saxatile  compactum;  Agrostemma 
coronaria;  Anchusa  italica,  Dropmore 
and  Opal,  and  Scabiosa  caucasica.  It 
is  now  too  late  to  sow  such  campanulas 
as  Medium,  or  Canterbury  bells,  persi- 
cifolia  and  pyramidalis  for  flowering 
next  year.  The  smaller  of  your  seed- 
lings, which  would  include  aquilegias, 
iberis,  campanulas  and  pyrethrums,  will 
be  better  if  carried  over  the  winter  in 
coldframes.  Those  planted  outdoors 
will  need  a  mulch  of  hay,  straw  or 
leaves  when  the  ground  freezes.

POA    NEMORALIS,    SHADE    GRASS. 

I  am  sending  you  a  sample  of  grass 
and  would  like  to  know  of  what  value  it 
is  as  a  lawn  cover.  C.  E. — 111. 


Poa  nemoralis,  or  wood  meadow  grass, 
succeeds  specially  well  under  trees  and 
withstands  drought  better  than  almost 
any  other  grass.  It  is,  however,  hard 
to  cut  with  a  lawn  mower  or  scythe, 
owing  to  its  silky  nature,  and  it  is  not 


suitable  for  lawn  seeding.

It'sja  pretty  good  idea  (now  that  the  lumber  mills  in  the  South- 
ern Cypress  Mfrs'.  Assn.  are  identifying  every  cypress  board  they  saw)  to 

MENTION   TO   YOUR   LUMBER   DEALER,  CONTRACTOR  OR   CARPENTER — and   tO  ASK 
YOUR   ARCHITECT   tO   SPECIFY— that   YOUR   CYPRESS   MUST   BE

When  a  maDufacturer  places  his  imprint  indelibly  upon  his  product  it  evidences  to  the  consumer  two 
factors  of  value  v«rhich,  together,  are  the  sum  total  of  all  any  buyer  wants;  these  factors  are  integrity 
of  purpose  and  complete  responsibility  on  the  part  of  the  maker  of  the  desired  commodity. 

The  above  legally  registered  "Tidewater  Cypress"  trade-mark  is 
now  YOUR  INSURANCE  POLICY  of  LUMBER  QUALITY. 


It  appears  stamped  mechanically  into  the  end  of  EVERY  board  and  timber  of

Thoroughly  dependable  Cypress   Flooring,  Siding,  Moulding  and   Shingles,

The  legal  right  to  apply  this  epoch-making  symbol  df  STRICT  RESPONSIBILITY  IN  LUMBER  MAKING 
AND  SELLING  is  restricted  to  those  Cypress  mills  which,  by  their  membership  in  the  Southern  Cypress 
Manufacturers'  Association,  attest  their  devotion  to  its  Principles  of  Service  to  the  Consimer.  Only 
mills  cutting  "Tidewater"  Cypress  are  eligible  for  membership.  (Cypress  which  grows  too  far  inland  is 
not  equally  noted  for  the  "Eternal,"  or  decay-resisting  quality.)  Only  mills  which  subscribe  to  the 
Association's  standard  of  scrupulous  care  in  Methods  of  MANUFACTURE.  INTEGRITY  OF  GRADING 
and  ACCURACY  OF  COUNT  can  belong  to  the  Association.  These  responsible  mills  the  Association

Six  Splendid  Australian  Varieties 

CONCORD  Spencer  types 

The  Concord  Varieties  of  Winter-flowering 
Spencer  Sweet  Peas  are  perhaps  the  most 
advanced  and  finest  of  all.  The  colors  are 
distinct,  clear  and  true.  They  flower  earlier 
than  any  other  type,  and  the  blossoms  are 
of  large  Spencer  form,  with  long  stems. 
Unfortunately  they  are  shy  seeders  and, 
therefore,  the  seed  is  scarce  and  expensive 
We  are  obliged  to  offer  in  packets  only 
this  year.  

Prices,  any  of  the  following: 

Pkt.  (50  seeds),  40c;  5  pkts.,  $1.75. 

Concord  Pink,  beautiful  delicate  pink. 
Concord  Crimson,  fine  ruby  red. 
Concord  Lavender,  light  lavender  blue. 
Concord  White,  large,  pure  white. 
Concord  Salmon,  soft  salmon  pink. 
Concord  Blue,  dark  purple  blue. 


We  have  on  hand  fresh  seed  off  Giant  Flowered]Cyclamen  in  all  popular  colors, 
also  Primula,  Cineraria,  Calceolaria;  Perennial  Flower  Seeds  ffor  summer  sow-

LOOKING  FORWARD  TO  1918 

The  man  who  looks  and  plans  ahead,  clear -brained  and  confident,  is  the  man  who 
keeps  in  front  of  the  procession  and  seldom  talks  about  "Hard  Times."  The  man  who 
invests  in  the  following  New  Roses  will  not  have  his  market  crowded  for  a  year  or  two 
and  will  certainly  make  money.  ,  .    .  .        ,

Many  of  us  are  nursing  a  sport  or  two  of  Ophelia,  but  "Supreme"  is  the  fitting 
name  for  this  one,  as  it  covers  every  good  point  of  the  parent  and  is  a  wonderful  shade

S.  A.  F.  TO  GO  INTO 

j^       THE  MAGAZINES 

To  drive  home  the  slogan,  "Send  Flowers,  Always  a  Good  Idea,"  is  the  pur- 
pose of  the  publicity  campaign  decided  on  at  the  New  York  convention.  A 
unanimous  vote  also  authorized  a  committee  to  start  a  bureau  of  credits  and 
collections,  thus  making  last  week  epochal  in  the  affairs  of  the  society.

HARLES  H.  TOTTY  was 
elected  president  of  the 
Society  of  American  Flo- 
rists as  almost  the  last 
~r  act  of  the  thirty-third 
8^_y  1S>  annual  convention,  held 
1  ^<  at  New  York  last  week, 
*'^^J  ^  his  majority  being  seven- 
ty-six votes  over  Abra- 
ham Lincoln  Miller.  The 
election,  was  a  friendly  contest  fought 
to  a  conclusion  with  such  vigor  that 
it  was  one  of  the  most  interesting 
features  of  an  especially  interesting 
meeting,  but  in  far-reaching  importance 
to  the  trade  the  success  of  either  can- 
didate was  overshadowed  by  the  de- 
cision to  launch  a  campaign  of  na- 
tional publicity  for  flowers  and  to 
establish  a  national  credits  and  collec- 
tions bureau  for  the  trade. 

Although  the  trades'  display  was  not 
so  large  as  expected  and  tlie  attendance 
not  U])  to  anticipations,  the  convention 
goes    into    trade    history 
as  one  of  the  best  in  the 
long  and  successful  rec- 
ords   of     tlie    S.    A.    F. 
Many  a   member  said  it 
was  tlie  best  convention 
he  ever  has  attended. 

Excellent!  » 

The  business  sessions 
were  largely  attended; 
there  were  more  mem- 
bers in  the  chairs  than 
at  certain  other  conven- 
tions wliere  the  registra- 
tion has  Iteen  mucli 
greater.  Prositlent  Kerr 
demonstrated  unusual 
ability  as  a  presiding 
officer.  At  all  times  lie 
was'  master  of  tlie  i)ar- 
liamentary  situation, 
and  lie  made  himself 
heard  by  all  in  spite  of 
much   outside   noise. 

The  trade  exhibitors 
did  much  better  tiian 
the  size  of  the  attend- 
ance would  indicate.  Tlu" 
plantsnieii  d  i  d  jiarticu 
larly  Aveli,  but  some  of 
the  exhibitors  of  rib- 
bons and  llorists'  sup- 
plies also  report  excel- 
lent ])usiuess. 

The  really  big  feature 
of  the  convention,  how- 
ever, was  the  decision  to 
lau*rh  a  national  cam- 
paign of  publWty  for 
flowers.      Tt    was    oiT?'  of 


PUBLICITY  FUNDS. 

The  S.  A.  F.  will  raise  JP50,000  for 
advertising   the   uses   of    flowers. 

At  New  I'ork  last  week  over  $13,000 
was  raised.  Individual  subscriptions 
ranii:e4  from  $5.00  to  $500.00. 

Kverypne  will  wish  to  help^it's  a

(President-elect  S<K:loty  of  American  Florists.) 


those  touch-and-go  affairs  which,  like 
a  fire  barely  escaping  extinction,  blaze 
up  with  intensity.  The  publicity  com- 
mittee had  presented  a  complete  outline 
for  an  up-to-date  publicity  campaign,  it 
had  been  commended  by  various  speak- 
ers as  just  the  thing  the  trade  should 
do,  but  the  means  of  doing  it  was  so  far 
away  that  a  motion  to  refer  the  mat- 
ter again  to  a  committee  had  been  made 
when  F.  L.  Atkins,  of  Bobbink  &  At- 
kins, took  the  floor.  "That  is  just 
what  the  Ornamental  Nurserymen  have 
been  doing,"  he  said;  ''they  always 
were  going  to  do  something,  but  never 
did.  Tlie  motion  before  the  liouse 
means  tiiat  the  S.  A.  V.  won't  do  any- 
thing for  at  least  another  year.  Let's 
do  something  now,  or  else  let's  forget 
the  wliole  sclieme. " 

"All    right,"    said    Joseph    Heacock, 

"let's    do    something    now.      We    have 

the  plan;  all  we  need  is  tlie  money.     I 

start  tlie   subscription  list   with   $500." 

(Applause.) 

The  next  half  hour 
was  devoted  to  record- 
ing the  names  of  others 
who  wanted  to  get  on 
wliat  President  Kerr 
called  the  honor  roll. 

The  Plan. 

W.  F.  Therkildson, 
chair;nan  of  the  public- 
ity committee,  presented 
a  brief  typewritten  re- 
jiort  which  was  in  fact 
only  an  argument  for 
advertising.  "We  can 
sell  flowers  by  advertis- 
ing," reported  Mr. 
Tlierkildson,  "as  surely 
as  Uneeda  B  i  s  <j»u  i  t. 
Cream  of  Wheat,  Vic- 
trolas,  Cornflakes, 
Shredded  Wheat  Biscuit, 
Dutch  Cleanser,  Wrig- 
ley's  Gum  and  a  thou- 
sand other  things.  All 
of  yon  are  familiar  with 
these  g  r  e  a  t  successes, 
for  whicli  there  was  no

which  have  m  a  d  e  end-

because  they  are  before 
them  day  and  night.

chants,  or  are  we  going  to  be  content 
with  what  comes  to  us  without  effort? 
If  so,  we  shall  have  to  be  content  with 
less  than  we  have  had  in  former  years. 

"You  have  advertising  successes  in 
your  midst.  I  could  name  many  of 
them,  but  I  will  use  Penn  for  my  illus- 
tration. I  don't  need  to  say  much;  the 
lesson  is  before  you  and  plain  as  day. 
From  'Newsboy  to  Wealth.'  No  fairy 
story  is  better.  All  done  by  live  adver- 
tising. 

"So  we  offer  this  complete  plan,  dia- 
gram, schedule,  sketches,  and  even 
slogan  for  a  real  live  campaign  to  put 
flowers  on  the  commercial  map." 

"Send  Flowers,"  the  Slogan. 

The  principal  part  of  Mr.  Therkild- 
son's  report  was  extemporaneous,  a  de- 
scription of  the  plan  the  committee  has 
outlined.  It  is  shown  in  the  line  draw- 
ing reproduced  on  this  page.  The  work 
is  to  be  under  the  direction  of  the  S.  A. 
F.  and  the  F.  T.  D.  The  sources  of 
income  are  to  be  several.    It  is  planned 


to  have  sticker  stamps  for  sale  to  the 
trade,  to  supply  mailing  cards,  folders, 
booklets,  window  cards,  all  of  which 
will  produce  revenue  now  diverted  to 
suppliers  outside  the  trade;  newspaper 
advertising  plates  are  to  be  purchasable 
from  the  committee  and  many  special 
services  are  to  be  sold  at  a  price  that 
will  make  them  advantageous  to  the 
buyer  and  still  return  a  profit  to  the 
publicity  bureau.  But  the  greater  part 
of  the  funds,  of  course,  must  come  from 
subscriptions  by  those  in  the  trade  and 
by  the  trade  societies. 

The  committee  is  to  have  an  office  in 
charge  of  an  experienced  publicity  man, 
whose  entire  time  is  to  be  devoted  to 
exploiting  flowers.  He  is  to  prepare  the 
various  advertising  helps  that  are  to 
enable  the  local  florists  to  tie  up  their 
own  stores  with  the  national  campaign. 
He  will  supply  the  material  at  moderate 
prices  and  give  advice  as  to  how  to  use 
it.  The  publicity  campaign  itself  will 
consist  of  large  pictorial  advertisements 
in  widely  read  general  magazines.  Large 


picture,  little  text,  the  committee  says. 
How  far  it  will  be  possible  to  go  de- 
pends on  the  funds  raised.  A  schedule 
was  shown  calling  for  a  total  expendi- 
ture of  $50,000,  another  calling  for 
fewer  insertions  costing  $40,000,  with 
a  third  totaling  $30,000. 

The  whole  campaign  is  planned 
around  the  slogan,  "Send  Flowers,  Al- 
ways a  Good  Idea." 

The  Money  in  Sight. 

Mr.  Therkildson  was  accompanied  by 
an  advertising  specialist  who  told  what 
had  been  done  by  others,  although  he 
cited  only  successes  in  advertising 
trade-marked  or  branded  goods,  and 
said  the  same  thing  can  be  done  for 
flowers.  The  confidence  of  these  two 
was  infectious.  Ella  G.  Wilson,  Max 
Schling,  F,  L.  Atkins,  W.  R.  Pierson 
and  others  told  of  local  successes;  then 
the  money-raising  began.  When  the 
enthusiasm  began  to  subside  James  Mc- 
Hutchison  moved  that  the  S.  A.  F.  itself 
appropriate  $5,000  to  the  campaign.

that  the  money  be  accounted  for  as  a 
special  advertising  fund. 

On  motion  of  A.  Farenwald  the  pub-

special  committee  to  complete  the  rais- 
ing of  the  funds. 

Credit  and  Collection  Bureau. 

Patrick  Welch  presented  a  lengthy  re- 
view of  the  discussion  which  led  up  to 
the  appointment  of  a  committee  on  a 
bureau  of  credits  and  collections.  The 
need  for  such  an  institution  in  the  trade 
is  well  known  and  Mr.  Welch's  paper, 
prepared  originally  to  be  presented  to 
a  meeting  of  the  committee  August  20, 
set  out,  not  only  the  need,  but  the 
methods  by  which  the  need  can  be  met. 
The  committee  had  held  three  meetings 
during  the  convention,  but  was  unable 
to  recommend  a  definite  plan  to  the 
society.  It  recommended,  however, 
that  a  committee  of  five  be  appointed 
by  the  president,  with  full  power  to 
obtain  a  charter  in  any  state  in  the 
Union,  if  it  is  deemed  advisable  to  or- 
ganize a  corporation  to  handle  the 
work;  or  to  deal  with  any  established 
credits  and  collections  agency  if  the 
committee  so  desires. 

The  recommendation  was  adopted  and 
the  members  of  the  committee  say  that 
they  do  not  propose  to  let  the  matter 
slumber  for  another  year,  but  to  provide 
the  trade  at  once  with  a  dependable 
source  of  credit  information  and  collec- 
tion assistance. 

The  War  and  the  Trade. 

Robert  Craig  was  on  the  program  to 
open  a  discussion  on  "The  Florists' 
Business  in  Its  Kelation  to  War  Times." 
He  said  the  war  brings  many  unusual 
conditions  and  addressed  himself  par- 
ticularly to  the  possibilities  of  finding 


substitutes  for  the  stock  the  importa- 
tion of  which  is  shut  off.  He  said  C.  W. 
Ward  has  invested  $350,000  on  the 
Pacific  coast  in  a  nursery  principally 
to  produce  azaleas  and  other  plants 
heretofore  imported.  Mr.  Craig  passed 
around  photographs  of  Mr.  Ward's 
place,  several  of  which  have  appeared 
in  The  Review  in  connection  with  ar- 
ticles on  the  subject.  Mr.  Craig  said 
he  considers  the  so-called  French 
hydrangeas  have  wonderful  possibili- 
ties and  predicted  that  in  them  we  shall 
find  an  excellent  substitute  for  azaleas. 
He  also  recommended  the  trial  of  an- 
tirrhinums and  campanulas  as  pot 
plants.  As  a  substitute  for  boxwood  he 
suggested  small  native  evergreens. 

Max  Schling  spoke  of  numerous 
plants  witli  bright  variegated*  foliage, 
saying  that  an  azalea  never  was  other- 
wise than  a  risky  thing  to  sell  to  a  cus- 
tomer ignorant  of  its  care.  He  said 
that  psychology  is  a  wonderful  factor  in 
salesmanship,  and  that  we  can  make 
customers  take  any  view  we  wish  by 
merely  making  the  suggestion  that  a 
flower  is  suited  to  a  certain  purpose. 

J.  F.  Ammann,  of  Edwardsville,  111., 
spoke  of  the  patriotic  and  sentimental 
side  of  the  war,  urging  that  no  sacrifice 
we  as  business  men  can  make  is  equal 
to  the  sacrifice  made  by  the  men  who  go 
to  France. 

E.  G.  Hill  told  of  correspondence 
with  business  associates  in  England, 
who  report  that  demand  is  good,  that 
prices  are  good  and  that  the  principal 
trouble  is  in  the  supply  of  labor  and 
material.  He  predicted  that  our  own 
experience    will   be   ft^   less    endurable 


than  that  of  the  trade  in  England,  who 
are  of  good  cheer. 

F.  C.  W.  Brown,  of  Cleveland,  spoke 
of  satisfactory  business  conditions  in 
Canada  and  asserted  his  confidence  of 
continued  active  demand  here. 

Mothers'  Day. 

O.  J.  Olson,  chairman  of  the  Mothers' 
day  committee,  was  not  present,  but  he 
sent  a  report,  read  by  E.  J.  Fancourt, 
showing  the  collection  of  $571  at  a  cost 
to  the  committee  of  $516.50,  leaving  a 
balance  of  $54.50.  The  report  expressed 
the  belief  of  the  committee  that 
Mothers'  day  offers  the  greatest  oppor- 
tunity now  available  to  the  trade,  and 
that  its  value  came  with  the  general  ac- 
ceptance of  the  couplet  (it  was  coined 
in  The  Review  office)  that  makea  for 
the  use  of  all  flowers: 

In   Mother's  memory,   flowers  white; 
For  Mother  at  home,  flowers  bright. 

The  committee  expressed  its  regret  at 
the  small  success  which  had  attended  its 
efforts  to  raise  money  to  be  turned  over 
to  Miss  Jarvis,  the  originator  of  Moth- 
ers' day. 

The  report  was  followed  by  a  sharp 
discussion,  a  number  of  those  present 
being  unable  to  harmonize  the  repeated 
requests,  amounting  almost  to  demands, 
that  the  trade  raise  money  for  Miss 
Jarvis,  apparently  for  her  personal  use, 
while  at  the  same  time  that  lady  and 
her  Mothers' Day  Association  decry  and 
forbid  the  commercialization  of  the  day. 
Among  those  who  spoke  on  the  avibjeet 
were  S.  S.  Skidelsky,  George  Asmus, 
Robert  Kift,  A.  Farenwald,  P.  Welch, 
Frank  Gorly,  F.  L.  Atkins  and  David

The  Florists'  Review 


August  30,  1917. 


Geddis.  E.  G.  Hill  finally  afforded  the 
idea  that  disposed  of  the  matter  by 
moving  that  Miss  Jarvis  be  referred  to 
the  publicity  committee,  who  can  em- 
ploy her  if  her  services  appear  to  have 
value. 
Committee  on  President's  Address. 

The  committee,  consisting  of  H.  P. 
Knoble,  Patrick  Welch,  George  Asmus, 
C.  E.  Critchell  and  Joseph  Heacock,  to 
whom  the  president's  address  was  re- 
ferred, recommended  concurrence  in  his 
recommendations.  The  committee  also 
recommended  that  the  secretary  prepare 
instructions  for  the  state  vice-presi- 
dents, with  a  view  to  increasing  their 
usefulness;  that  the  society  give  serious 
consideration  to  the  matter  of  holding 
the  national  flower  show  annually,  in 
connection  with  the  convention,  in  the 
spring;  that  the  tariff  and  legislation 
committee  maintain  increasing  vigilance 
to  defend  the  trade  from  injury;  that 
the  members  of  the  society  send  the 
publicity  committee  all  articles  in  local 
papers  discouraging  the  use  of  flowers, 
to  the  end  that  publication  of  counter 
articles  be  secured;  that  every  firm  and 
individual  in  the  trade  be  urged  to  con- 
tribute something  to  the  funds  for  pub- 
licity; that  a  committee  of  three  be 
appointed  to  raise  a  fund  for  patriotic 
duty. 

Judges  on  Trades'  Display. 

i'  The  judges  of  the  trades'  display 
were  A.  Gude,  John  Canning,  W.  H.  Sie- 
brecht,  A.  Kottmiller,  H.  P.  Knoble, 
W.  C.  Gloeckner,  E.  A.  Peirce,  Henry 
Weston  and  W.  G.  Badgley.  Secretary 
Young  read  their  report.  Honorable 
mention  was  recommended  for  the  ex- 
hibits of  Schloss  Bros.,  M.  Rice  Co., 
Hitchings  &  Co.,  Mead-Suydam  Co.,  C' 
J.  Kraus,  Wertheimer  Bros.,  H.  Bayers- 
dorfer  &  Co.,  F.  R.  Pierson  Co.,  John 
Scheepers  &  Co.,  Henry  A.  Dreer,  Inc., 
Fred  Dressel,  General  Rubber  Co.,  Lager 
&  Hurrell,  Robert  Craig  Co.,  C.  E.  Falls, 
the  Expanded  Wood  Co.,  Vaughan  's 
Seed   Store,    S.   S.   Pennock    Co.,    H.   F. 


Michell  Co.,  Basket  Novelty  Co.,  and 
the  American  Greenhouse  Mfg.  Co. 
High  commendation  was  recommended 
for  the  exhibits  of  the  A.  L.  Randall 
Co.,  Reed  &  Keller,  Bobbink  &  Atkins, 
Chicago  Feed  &  Fertilizer  Co.,  John 
Lewis  Childs,  J.  H.  Fiesser,  Joseph 
Heacock  Co.,  Heatherhome  Co.,  Mirror 
Mfg.  Co.,  J.  G.  Neidinger  Co.,  Nitrate 
Agencies   Co.,   J.  A.   Peterson   &    Sons, 

A.  N.  Pierson,  Inc.,  Julius  Roehrs  Co., 

B.  Rosens,  Russin  &  Hanfling  and 
others.     The  report  was  adopted. 

Judges  on  the  Garden. 

The  judges  of  the  Convention  Garden 
were  Arthur  Herrington,  R.  A.  Vincent 
and  J.  H.  Pepper.  For  them  the  latter 
recommended  certificates  of  merit  be 
awarded  to  Isaac  Hicks  &  Son,  for  col- 
lection of  evergreens;  to  B.  Hammond 
Tracy,  for  gladioli;  to  Conard  &  Jones 
Co.,  for  Cannas  Snow  Queen  and  New 
York;  to  Henry  A.  Dreer,  Inc.,  for 
Canna  Orange  Bedder,  and  to  Wm. 
Tricker,  for  pool  of  aquatics.  Honor- 
able mention  was  recommended  for 
Vaughan 's  Seed  Store,  for  Gladiolus 
Frank  Pendleton  and  Canna  Yellow 
King  Humbert;  to  John  Lewis  Childs, 
for  collection  of  gladioli;  to  Henry  A. 
Dreer,  Inc.,  for  Canna  Scharf enstein ; 
to  Thomas  Meehan  &  Sons,  for  hibis- 
cus; to  A.  L.  Miller,  for  flower  beds. 

The  Election. 

The  new  method  of  conducting  the 
election,  with  four  sets  of  judges  work- 
ing at  once,  each  set  handling  a  fourth 
of  the  letters  of  the  alphabet,  was  used 
for  the  first  time  and  proved  a  splendid 
feature.  It  obviated  the  necessity  of 
standing  in  line  to  vote,  made  it  pos- 
sible to  poll  the  entire  vote  in  a  short 
time,  in  comfort,  and  to  announce  the 
result  promptly. 

The  only  contest  was  for  the  presi- 
dency. The  count  showed:  C.  H.  Totty, 
Madison,  N.  J.,  198;  A.  L.  Miller,  Jamai- 
ca, N.  Y.,  122. 

The  other  officers  were  elected  unan- 
imously, as  follows: 


Booths  of  Two  of  the  Greenhouse  Material  Companies  at  the  Convention. 


Vice-president,  Jules  Bourdet,  of  St. 
Louis. 

Secretary,  John  Young,  of  New  York. 

Treasurer,  J.  J.  Hess,  of  Omaha. 

Directors  for  three  years,  Joseph 
Manda,  South  Orange,  N.  J.;  C.  E. 
Critchell,  Cincinnati,  O. 

After  President  Kerr  had  made  the 
announcement  the  defeated  candidate 
made  a  neat  speech  of  congratulation 
and  moved  that  the  election  be  made 
unanimous,  to  which  Mr.  Totty  replietl 
with  a  few  words  of  thanks  and  appre- 
ciation. 

Miscellaneous  Matters. 

A  motion  to  express  approval  of  the 
action  of  President  Wilson  in  ordering 
the  reduction  of  coal  to  certain  fixed 
prices  provoked  a  lively  debate,  which 
resulted  in  the  decision  that  it  is  inad- 
visable to  Call  attention  at  this  time  to 
the  fuel  needs  of  the  trade. 

On  motion  of  W.  F.  Therkildson  tele- 
grams were  ordered  sent  to  the  manag- 
ers of  the  war  revenue  bill  now  under 
consideration  at  Washington,  objecting 
to  the  proposed  mailing  tax  of  1  cent 
each  on  catalogues  weighing  over  four 
ounces. 

Chairman  Theodore  Wirth,  of  the 
committee  on  convention  garden,  sent 
a  report  regretting  that  this  year's  gar- 
den is  a  disappointment  in  spite  of 
much  hard  work  by  all  concerned,  but 
predicting  better  results  at  the  next 
one,  in  1919,  urging  earnest  endeavor 
to  that  end. 

J.  F.  Ammann,  A.  F.  Poeljl^aun  and 
A.  A.  Niessen  drafted  suitable  final 
resolutions,  expressing  the  usual  appre- 
ciation of  courtesies. 

John  Westcott,  of  Philadelphia,  who 
speaks  in  a  most  happy  vein,  presented 
to  President  and  Mrs.  Kerr  a  handsome 
chest  of  silver  as  a  memento  of  the  oc- 
casion. It  was  the  last  act  of  the  con- 
vention.

Bowling,  the  once  popular  convention

New  York  team,  winner  of  three  games 
straight  by  a  total  of  2,229  pins  to

CONFERENCE   ON  EXCLUSION. 

During  the  S.  A.  F.  convention  at 
New  York  the  long-bofore-agreed-to 
conference  was  held  to  discuss  the  pro- 
posal to  prohibit  all  plant  imports  as  a 
means  of  protecting  American  plant  life 
from  foreign  insects  and  diseases.  The 
interests  represented  were  the  Eco- 
nomic Entomologists,  headed  by  Prof. 
Saunders,  whose  pet  measure  this  is; 
the  American  Association  of  Xursery- 
men  and  the  Society  of  American  Flo- 
rists. James  McHutchison  protested 
that  although  the  conference  had  been 
agreed  to  months  ago,  the  date  was  set 
at  such  short  notice  that  it  was  impos- 
sible to  get  a  representative  number  of 
men  together  and  the  meeting  resolved 
itself  into  an  informal  discussion. 

It  appears  that  a  number  of  the  en- 
tomologists are  beginning  to  appreciate 
the  needlessness  of  a  complete  prohibi- 
tion of  all  plant  imports  and  the  great 
disturbance  of  business  which  would 
result,  with  the  possibility  that  the 
agitation  for  such  a  law  will  subside. 
Also  there  is  tlic  probability  that  so 
many  larger  matters  now  demand  at- 
tention at  Washington  that  such  legis- 
lation will  not  be  considered  for  some 
time   to   come. 


Lubbock,  Tex. — J.  C.  Dean  has  opened 
a  flower  store  here.     .,    ^-.yif  ••  ,    ,i^i  ii. 


North  Tonawanda,  N.  Y. — A  gasoline 
shed  at  the  rear  of  the  William  Papke 
greenhouses  at  Beach  Ridge  was  de- 
stroyed by  lire  last  week. 

Two  Rivers,  Wis.— Yes,  the  troubles 

of  Harry  C.  Bartz  now  begin,  according 

to  an  old  saying.     The  young  ladfy  was

LADIES'  S.  A.  F. 

The  annual  meeting  of  the  Ladies' 
S.  A.  F,  was  held  at  Hotel  McAlpin, 
New  York,  August  22,  President  Miss 
Perle  Pulmer,  of  Des  Moines,  la.,  in 
the  chair. 

The  following  officers  were  elected: 
President,  Mrs.  Julius  Roehrs,  Euther- 
ford,  N.  J.;  first  vice-president.  Miss 
Bertha  Meinhardt,  St.  Louis;  second 
vice-president,  Mrs.  Joseph  Manda, 
South  Orange,  N.  J.;  treasurer,  Mrs.  A. 
M.  Herr,  Lancaster,  Pa. ;  secretary,  Mrs. 
George  W.  Smith,  Cleveland. 

A  revision  of  the  by-laws  was 
adopted. 

The  New  York  Florists'  Club  gave 
a  reception  for  tne  ladies  at  the  Hotel 
McAlpin  on  the  evening  of  August  23. 
A  theater  party  was  given  for  the 
ladies  August  22. 

President  Miss  Fulmer  entertained 
the  officers  and  directors  at  luncheon 
August  22,  which  was  the  birthday  an- 
niversary of  Mrs.  C.  H.  Maynard,  the 
retiring  secretary,  who  was  the  recip- 
ient of  several  gifts. 


AMERICAN    CABNATION    SOCIETY. 

President  W.  J.  Vesey,  Jr.,  of  Fort 
Wayne,  Ind.,  occupied  the  chair  at  a 
well-attended  meeting  of  the  American 
Carnation  Society  at  Grand  Central 
Palace,  New  York,  August  22. 

Plans  were  made  for  the  annual  con- 
vention and  exhibition  of  the  society  at 
Boston,  January  30  and  31,  1918.  Vice- 
president  C.  S.  Strout  outlined  the  ar- 
rangements, which  were  approved.  The 
show  will  be  staged  in  Horticultural 
hall  and  the  banquet  also  will  be  served 
there,  although  the  Copley-Plaza  hotel 
will  be  headquarters. 

It  was  decided  to  take  charge  of  the 
carnation  section  of  the  National  Flow- 
er Show  at  St.  Louis,  April  6  to  15, 
1918,  and  to  assume  responsibility  for 
the  premiums  of  $1,500. 

Secretary  Baur  spoke  with  every 
confidence  of  large  exhibitions  at  both 
places.        

AMERICAN  ROSE  SOCIETY. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  American  Eose 
Society  held  at  the  Grand  Central  Pal- 
ace, New  York,  August  23,  plans  were 
discussed  for  participation  in  the  Cleve- 
land flower  show,  November  10  to  12, 
It  was  felt  that  the  schedule  for  roses 
demanded  amplification  if  the  display  is 
to  be  one  such  as  will  do  credit  to  the 
society.  The  next  meeting  of  the  so- 
ciety will  be  held  at  that  time. 

Eules  for  the  guidance  of  the  nomen- 
clature committee  in  the  registering  of 
new  roses,  drawn  by  a  committee  head- 
ed by  Prof.  Mulf ord,  were  adopted  with 
some  amendments  to  meet  the  views  of 
the  introducers  of  new  varieties.  The 
committee  sought  to  simplify  varietal 
nomenclature  by  laying  down  the  rule 
that  a  name  should  consist  of  not  more 
than  two  words,  but  the  novelty  dealers 
insisted  that  room  must  be  left  for  the 
full  names  of  persons  and  for  the  use  of 
names  of  possession  like  Manda 's  Tri- 
umph, although  both  are  frowned  upon 
by  the  purigts. 


A  report  was  made  of  the  finances 
of  the  Philadelphia  spring  show.  At 
the  call  of  President  Hammond,  Treas- 
urer May  reported  a  working  balance 
of  $1,047.28. 

Robert  Pyle  spoke  in  behalf  of  the 
great  rose  garden  Prof.  C.  S.  Sargent 
purposes  to  establish  at  Arnold  Arbo- 
retum, Boston. 

W.  R.  Pierson  again  called  attention 
to  the  project  to  enlarge  the  rose  gar- 
den at  Elizabeth  park,  Hartford,  Conn., 
next  spring.  He  wants  stock  for  sixty 
beds. 

At  a  subsequent  directors'  meeting 
Dailledouze  Bros.,  Flatbush,  N.  Y.,  filed 
application  for  the  registry  of  Eose 
C^helia  Supreme,  sport  of  Ophelia,  iden- 
tical in  habit  but  of  deep  and  distinct 
pink. 

The  Eose  Society  already  has  planned 
to  participate  in  the  National  Flower 
Show  at  St.  Louis  and  Harry  O.  May, 
Eobert  Simpson  and  W.  J.  Keimel  were 
appointed  -to  prepare  the  premium  list 
for  the  rose  section.  The  following 
subscriptions  were  made  toward  the 
guarantee  fund  for  the  National  Flower 
Show:  Benjamin  Hammond,  $250;  H. 
O.  May,  $100;  E.  Allan  Peirce,  $100; 
S.  S.  Pennock,  $100;  Wendland  & 
Keimel  Co.,  $100;  Eobert  Simpson,  $100; 
Conard  &  Jones  Co.,  $100.  It  was  voted 
that  the  following  canvass  given  sec- 
tions for  further  subscriptions:  W.  J. 
Keimel,  the  middle  and  far  west;  S.  S. 
Pennock,  Philadelphia;  H.  O.  May,  New 
York;  W.  E.  Pierson,  New  England: 


AMERICAN    GLADIOLUS    SOCIETY. 


Officers  Elected. 

At  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Ameri- 
can Gladiolus  Society,  held  in  the  pri- 
vate office  of  Dr.  Britton  at  the  Mu- 
seum building  in  Bronx  park,  New 
York,  August  24,  the  organization  was 
handed  back  to  the  management  of  the 
professional  growers,  commercial  men 
being  elected  to  the  offices  recently  held 
by  millionaire  gladiolus  fanciers.  The 
new  officers  are: 

President — E.  A.  Kunderd,  Goshen, 
Ind. 

Vice-president — E.  H.  Meader,  Dover, 
N.  H. 

Treasurer — Madison  Cooper,  Calcium, 
N.  Y. 

Secretary — Henry  Youell,  Syracuse, 
N.  Y. 

The  Business  Meeting. 

In  the  absence  of  President  Fair- 
banks, Vice-president  T.  A.  Havemeyer, 
of  sugar  fame,  occupied  the  chair.  E. 
H.  Meader  acted  as  secretary  in  place 
of  Mr.  Youell,  who  is  ill.  Mr.  Youell 
sent  a  pessimistic  report  of  the  progress 
of  the  society,  which  has  been  crab- 
fashion  in  the  last  year,  eight  new  mem- 
bers having  joined  and  eighteen  having 
been  lost.  Treasurer  Kunderd  reported 
$742.05  in  the  bank,  with  only  a  few 
small  current  bills  outstanding. 

The  new  president  was  empowered  to 
appoint  the  executive  and  exhibition 
committees  with  a  view  to  holding  the 
annual  show  in  the  west  next  year, 
preferably  at  Chicago. 


There  was  the  annual  discussion  as  to 
a  definition  of  what,  constitutes  ama- 
teur and  professional  standing  and  how 
to  secure  the  participation  of  the  for- 
mer class  of  exhibitors.  ■  It  was  as  fruit- 
less as  heretofore. 

It  was  agreed  that  the  executive 
committee  be  recommended  to  engage 
the  services  of  a  promoter  to  work  up 
interest  in  the  1918  exhibition. 

The  Exhibition. 

The  eighth  annual  exhibition  of  the 
American  Gladiolus  Society  was  held 
in  the  Museum  building  at  Bronx  park 
August  23  to  26,  in  cooperation  with 
the  Horticultural  Society  of  New  York, 
which  supplied  the  premiums.  It  proved 
to  be  the  largest  display  of  cut  gla- 
diolus flowers  ever  staged  in  America. 
Two  floors  of  the  big  building  were 
occupied.  A  conservative  estimate  of 
the  number  of  spikes  staged  would  be 
9,000  to  10,000.  Using  an  average  of 
eight  flowers  per  spike,  and  some  spikes 
carried  fourteen,  it  would  give  70,000 
to  80,000   open   flowers  in   the  show. 

Large  as  the  show  was,  it  would  have 
been  much  larger  excepl;  for  misfortunes 
that  befell  some  of  the  would-be  exhib- 
itors. Arthur  Cowee,  of  Berlin,  N.  Y., 
always  has  been  one  of  the  chief  fac- 
tors in  these  shows,  but  this  year  he 
did  not  participate,  weather  conditions 
having  been  too  unfavorable.  The 
president,  C.  F.  Fairbanks,  Boston  ama- 
teur, had  planned  a  large  showing,  but 
August  21,  on  the  eve  of  cutting  the 
spikes,  a  hail  storm  destroyed  his  flow- 
ers;  he  had  nothing  to  show. 

Bronx  park  is  about  as  undesirable 
a  place  for  a  flower  show  as  one  could 
imagine.  It  is  not  only  far  from  the 
center  of  the  city,  but  it  is  not  easy 
of  access,  so  that  the  attendance  of 
the  trade  was  limited  to  those  having  a 
special  interest  in  the  gladiolus.  To 
these,  naturally,  the  new  varieties  were 
the  most  important  feature.  There  were 
many  seedlings,  most  notable  of  which 
was  the  collection  of  some  twenty  from 
T.  A.  Havemeyer 's  Cedar  Hill  Nursery, 
Glen  Head,  N.  Y.  The  prize  for  the 
best  novelty,  however,  was  awarded  to 
a  primulinus  hybrid  of  distinct  color- 
ing, reddish  pink  with  cream  throat, 
exhibited  by  John  Scheepers,  Inc.,  a 
most  artistic  flower.  Mr.  Scheepers  also 
staged  a  fine  lot  of  white  seedlings  and 
another  lot  in  which  purple  or  lavender 
was  predominant,  said  to  be  the  work 
of  the  originator  of  G.  princeps.  Wm. 
Sim,  Cliftondale,  Mass.,  also  sent  a 
large  collection  of  seedlings.  Herman 
H.  Baer,  New  Hyde  Park,  N.  Y.,  staged 
a  group  of  Crystal  White,  which  has  so 
large  a  blotch  of  purple  in  the  throat 
as  almost  to  make  the  appellation  a 
misnomer. 

Good  as  are  some  of  these  novelties, 
to  the  average  grower  it  will  appear 
that  Europa,  as  shown  in  the  class  for 
whites,  will  be  difficult  to  displace;  that 
Panama,  as  a  pink,  towers  above  any 
other  gladiolus  in  the  show;  that  Gold- 
en Measure,  yellow,  will  sell  in  spite  of 
all  competition,  and  that  Evelyn  Kirk- 
land,  as  staged  by  Madison  Cooper, 
will  hold  its  place  for  years.

The  Craig  and  Pennock  Exhibits  in  the  Foregroundt  with  Rice  Under  the  Balcony. 


The  eastern  growers  are  strong  on 
primulinus.  These  hybrids  afford  new 
colors,  which  are  particularly  effective 
under  artificial  light,  with  a  grace  not 
possible  with  the  rigid  spikes  of  the 
older  types,  with  which  amenability  to 
forcing  is  said  to  be  combined.  Nearly 
all  the  eastern  exhibitors  showed  many 
pure  primulinus  hybrids  and  the  influ- 
ence of  the  blood  was  seen  in  many  of 
the  crosses  with  the  gandavensis  and 
Childsii  types.  The  great  group  of  B. 
Hammond  Tracy,  Cedar  Acres,  Wenham, 
Mass.,  which  occupied  the  rotunda,  was 
particularly  strong  in  its  primulinus 
varieties. 

In  the  large  collections,  John  Lewis 
Childs^  Floral  Park,  N.  Y.,  staged  125 
varieties;  Vaughan'a  Seed  Store  staged 
forty-five  varieties  and  Thomas  Cogger, 
Melrose,  Mass.,  and  E.  H.  Meader, 
Dover,  N.  H.,  had  good  displays.  The 
principal  groups  by  non-commercial 
growers  were  from  P.  W.  Popp  and 
Madison  Cooper.

There  were  forty-five  classes  open 
only  to  non-commercial  growers,  but 
they  brought  out  only  three  exhibitors, 
\\  W.  Popp,  gardener  to  Mrs.  H. 
Darlington,  Mamaroneck,  N,  Y.,  who 
won  fifteen  first  prizes  and  the  achieve- 
ment medal;  Madison  Cooper,  of  Cal- 
cium, N.  Y.,  refrigeration  manufacturer, 
publisher  and  gladiolus  enthusiast,  who 
won  twelve  first  prizes  and  seven  sec- 
onds, and  J.  P.  Sorenson,  gardener  for 
Wm.  Shillaber,  Essex  Falls,  N.  Y.,  who 
made  only  a  few  entries. 

In  the  matter  of  amateur  participa- 
tion the  show  fell  far  short  of  the  hopes 
of  the  promoters,  as  the  wish  has  been 
to  secure  the  active  interest  of  the  peo- 
ple who  plant  gladiolus  bulbs  for  pure 
pleasure. 

The  fallowing  special  prizes*  were 
awarded  by  the  Horticultural  Society 
of  New  York: 

William  Sim,  Cliftondale,  Mass..  for  a  dis- 
play of  seedling  gladioli,  silver  medal. 

Mrs.  H.  Darlington,  Mamaroneck,  N.  Y.,  V. 
W.  Popp,  gardener,  for  a  collection  of  dah-

Vaughan's  Seed  Store,  New  Y'ork,  for  a  dis- 
play of  gladioli,   silver  medal.

(iladiolus    Myrtle,    certificate   of   merit. 

Mrs.  F.  A.  Constable,  Mamaroneck,  N.  Y.. 
James  Stuart,  gardener,  for  a  vase  of  Buddleia 
magnifica  and  Artemisia  lactiflora,  special  prize. 

John  Scheepers  &  Co.,  New  York  city,  for  a 
collection  of  white  seedlings,  certificate  of  merit; 
for  a   display  of   seedlings,    certificate   of   merit. 

Bobbink  &  Atkins  staged  a  table  of 
their  Mallow  Marvels  hibiscus. 

There  were  several  excellent  exhibits 
of    cactus    and    peony-flowered    dahlias.

AMERICAN  ROSE   SOCIETY. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  American  Kose 
Society  held  at  the  Grand  Central  Pal- 
ace, New  York,  August  2u,  jd.ans  were 
discussed  for  ]iartici|iat ion  in  the  Cleve- 
land tlower  slinw.  No\«MuiM'r  10  to  12, 
It  was  felt  that  tln'  schedule  for  roses 
demaiuled  am]iliricat ion  if  tlie  dis])lay  is 
to  be  one  sueii  as  will  do  credit  to  the 
society.  Tlie  next  meeting  of  the  so- 
ciety will  be  held  at  that  time. 

Rules  for  the  guidance  of  the  nomen- 
clature committee  in  the  registering  of 
new  roses,  drawn  by  a  committee  head- 
ed by  Prof.  Mulfor(i,  were  adopted  with 
some  aineiidinents  to  meet  the  views  of 
the  introducers  of  new  varieties.  The 
committee  sought  to  simplify  varietal 
nomenclature  by  laying  down  the  rule 
that  a  name  should  consist  of  not  more 
than  two  words,  but  the  novtdty  dealers 
insisted  that  room  must  be  left  for  the 
full  names  of  ])ersons  and  for  the  use  of 
names  of  possession  like  ^SLonda's  Tri- 
umph, although  both  are  frouncd  upon 
by  the  purists. 


A  report  was  made  of  the  finances 
of  the  l*liiladel])hia  spring  sliow.  At 
the  call  of  President  Hammond,  Treas- 
urer May  reported  a  working  balance 
of  .$1,047.28. 

Robert  Pyle  spoke  in  behalf  of  the 
great  rose  garden  I'rof.  C.  S.  Sargent 
purposes  to  establish  at  Arnold  Arbo- 
retum, Boston. 

W.  R.  Pierson  again  called  attention 
to  the  project  to  enlarge  the  rose  gar- 
<len  at  Elizabeth  park,  Hartford,  Conn., 
next  spring.  He  wants  stock  for  sixty 
beds. 

At  a  subsequent  directors'  meeting 
Dailledouze  Bros.,  Flatbush,  N.  Y".,  filed 
application  for  the  registry  of  Rose 
()j)helia  Supreme,  sport  of  Ophelia,  iden- 
tical in  habit  but  of  deep  and  distinct 
j)ink. 

The  Rose  Society  already  has  jdanned 
to  participate  in  the  National  Flower 
Show  at  St.  Louis  and  Harry  O.  May, 
Robert  Simpson  and  W.  ,1.  Keiniel  were 
appointed  to  prepare  the  i)reniuim  list 
for  the  rose  section.  The  following 
subscrii)tions  were  made  towaril  the

AMERICAN    GLADIOLUS    SOCIETY. 


Officers  Elected. 

At  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Ameri- 
can (iladiobis  Society,  lield  in  the  pri- 
vate otlice  of  Dr.  Jiritton  at  the  Mu- 
seum building  in  Bronx  park,  New 
York,  August  24,  the  organization  was 
lianded  back  to  the  management  of  the 
professional  growers,  commercial  men 
being  elected  to  the  otTices  recently  held 
by  millionaire  gladiolus  fanciers.  The 
new  oflicers  are: 

President — E.  A.  Kunderd,  Goshen, 
Ind. 

^■iee  president — E.  II.  Meader,  Dover, 
N.  IL 

Treasurer — Madison  Cooper,  Calcium, 
N.  Y'. 

Secretarv — Hcnrv  Y'ouell,  Syracuse, 
N.  Y.  '  ■ 

The  Business  Meeting. 

In  the  absence  of  President  Fair- 
banks, Vice-president  T.  A.  Havemeyer, 
of  sugar  fame,  occupied  the  chair.  E. 
11.  Meader  acted  as  secretarv  in  place 
of  Mr.  Youell,  who  is  ill.  Mr.  Youell 
sent  a  pessimistic  report  of  the  progress 
of  the  society,  which  has  been  crab- 
fashion  in  the  last  year,  eight  new  mem- 
bers having  joined  am]  eighteen  having 
been  lost.  Treasurer  Kunderd  reported 
$742.05  in  the  bank,  with  only  a  few 
small   current  bills   outstanding. 

The  new  jiresident  was  emjiowered  to 
appoint  the  executive  and  exhibition 
committees  with  a  view  to  holding  the 
annual  show  in  the  west  next  year, 
preferably  at  Chicago. 


There  Avas  the  annual  discussion  as  to 
.a  deJinition  of  what  constitutes  ama- 
teur and  professional  standing  and  how 
to  secure  the  ])articipation  of  the  for- 
mer class  of  exhibitors.  It  was  as  fruit- 
less as  heretofore. 

It  w^as  agreed  that  the  executive 
committee  be  recommended  to  engage 
the  services  of  a  promoter  to  work  up 
interest  in  the  1918  exhibition. 

The  Exhibition. 

The  eighth  annual  exhibition  of  the 
American  Gladiolus  Society  was  held 
in  the  Museum  building  at  Bronx  park 
August  23  to  20,  in  cooperation  with 
the  Horticultural  Society  of  New  York, 
which  supplied  the  ])remiums.  It  proved 
to  be  the  largest  display  of  cut  gla- 
diolus llowers  ever  staged  in  America. 
Two  lloors  of  the  big  building  were 
occupied.  A  conservative  estimate  of 
the  nund)er  of  spikes  staged  would  be 
9,000  to  10,000.  Using  an  average  of 
eight  flowers  per  spike,  and  some  spikes 
carried  fourteen,  it  would  give  70,000 
to   80,000   open    flowers   in    the   show. 

Large  as  the  show  was,  it  would  have 
been  much  larger  except  for  misfortunes 
that  befell  some  of  the  AVould  be  exhib- 
itors. Arthur  Cowee,  of  Berlin,  N.  Y., 
always  has  been  one  of  the  chief  fac- 
tors in  these  shows,  but  this  year  ho 
did  not  ]iarticij>ate,  weather  conditions 
having  been  too  unfavoralde.  The 
president,  C.  F.  Fairbanks,  Boston  ama- 
teur, had  planned  a  large  showing,  but 
August  21,  (Ml  the  eve  of  oitting  the 
spikes,  a  hail  storm  destroyed  his  llow- 
ers;   he   had  nothing  to   show. 

Bronx  park  is  about  ;is  undesirable 
a  ])lace  for  a  flower  show  as  one  could 
inuigine.  It  is  not  only  far  from  the 
center  of  the  city,  but  it  is  not  easy 
of  access,  so  that  the  attendance  of 
the  trade  was  limited  to  tlios(>  having  a 
special  interest  in  the  gl.'idiolus.  To 
these,  naturally,  the  new  varieties  were 
the  most  important  feature.  There  were 
many  seedlings,  most  notable  of  wliicdi 
was  the  collection  of  some  twenty  from 
T.  A.  llavemeyer's  Ced.ir  Hill  Nursery, 
Glen  Heail,  N.  Y.  The  jirize  for  the 
best  novelty,  however,  was  awarded  to 
a  jirimuliiius  hybrid  of  <listinct  color- 
ing, reddish  jdiik  with  cream  throat, 
exhibiteil  liy  John  Scheepers,  Inc.,  a 
most  artistic  flower.  Mr.  Scheejiers  also 
staged  a  fine  lot  of  white  seedlings  and 
another  lot  in  which  purple  or  lavender 
was  prcilominant,  said  to  be  the  work 
of  the  ori^inatcu'  of  (>.  princeps.  Wm. 
Sim,  Cliftondale,  ^Mass.,  also  sent  a 
large  cidlection  of  seedlings.  Herman 
H.  Baer,  New  Hyde  Park,  N.  Y.,  staged 
a  group  of  Crystal  AVhite,  which  has  so 
large  a  blotch  of  jiurple  in  the  throat 
as  alnuist  to  make  the  :ippellation  a 
misnomer. 

Good  as  are  some  of  these  novelties, 
to  the  average  grower  it  will  appear 
that  Europa,  as  shown  in  the  class  for 
whites,  will  be  dillicult  to  displace;  that 
Panama,  as  a  pijik,  towers  above  any 
other  gladiolus  in  the  show;  that  Gold- 
en Measure,  yellow,  will  sell  in  spite  of 
all  competition,  and  th.at  Evelyn  Kirk- 
land,  as  staged  by  Madison  Cooper,

CREDITS  AND  COLLECTIONS 


h^i7i^r7StihrSYirrs\ih«vir7Svirrsvir^rrsvih^iiV«virirs>(i 


FOE  twenty  years  the  question  of 
credits  has  been  exceedingly  im- 
portant and  of  great  interest  to  the 
commercial  growers  of  horticultural 
products  in  this  country.  It  is  now 
not  considered  a  reflection  on  a  mer- 
chant 's  honesty  or  business  ability  if  he 
is  asked  for  a  statement  of  his  finances; 
he  realizes  such  information  enables 
business  men  to  conduct  their  affairs 
intelligently. 

Attempts  have  been  made  to  estab- 
lish local  agencies  where  a  limited  num- 
ber of  houses  doing  business  in  a  re- 
stricted way  have  agreed  among  them- 
selves to  list  those  with  whom  they  do 
business,  and  in  some  cities  this  method 
has  proved  successful,  as  shown  by  the 
experience  of  the  New  York  Wholesale 
Protective  Association,  the  American 
Association  of  Nurserymen  and  the 
American  Seed  Trade  Association,  all  of 
which  have  in  successful  operation 
credit  and  collection  bureaus  under 
their  own  auspices. 

The  statisticians  claim  that  ninety 
per  cent  of  the  business  concerns  of  the 
country  fail  or  are  liquidated  at  some 
period  of  their  existence.  It  is  some- 
times hard  to  anticipate  these  losses, 
but  it  seems  reasonable  to  suppose  that 
many  losses  experienced  by  our  people 
might  be  avoided  if  only  the  proper  pre- 
cautions were  taken. 

I  believe  that  three  per  cent  of  the 
total  sales  within  the  last  ten  years 
have  been  lost  to  the  horticultural  in- 
terests by  bad  debts.  No  more  impor- 
tant question  can  come  before  us  at 
this  time  than  that  of  evolving  ways 
and  means  by  which  this  drain  on  our 
resources  may  be  reduced  to  a  minimum. 

To  Strive  for  the  Ideal. 

It  may  be  assumed  that  men  in  busi- 
ness will  pay  their  debts  if  they  can, 
with  no  reference  to  honesty.  Every 
man  must  make  a  living  and  most  men 
are  ambitious  to  make  more  than  a 
mere  living.  Every  man  has  chosen  a 
particular  line  of  business  in  which  he 
can  make  profit  with  the  least  effort. 
He  simply  cannot  afford  to  fail.  And 
he  knows  that  he  can  continue  in  busi- 
ness only  on  condition  that  he  pays  his 
creditors,  and  that  he  must  do  this  with 
a  reasonable  degree  of  promptness. 

It  is  rarely  that  a  man  enters  busi- 
ness with  the  intention  of  being  dis- 
honest. We  have  had  few  of  them,  I  am 
pleased  to  say,  in  our  business.  The 
few  that  there  have  been,  however,  have 
brought  about  in  the  past,  and  others 
may  bring  about  in  the  future,  most 
disastrous  results  to  those  engaged  in 
floriculture  in  this  country. 

The  time  has  com6  When  we  are 
obliged  to  promote  such  business  prin- 
ciples that  our  trade  may  be  conducted 
on  honorable  and  equitable  lines.  To 
accomplish  this  we  must  place  more 
stress  on  the  dispensation  of  credit. 
The  idea  that  credit  is  cheap  has  taken 
a  firm  root  among  the  business  men  of 
our  country. 


If  we  expect  to  change  the  credit  con- 
ditions practiced  at  present  in  our  work, 
we  can  do  it  only  by  united  action  and 
by  intelligent,  organized  efforts  on  the 
part  of  those  engaged  in  horticulture  in 
this  country.  We  can  preserve  our  own 
business  and  can  compete  fairly,  hon- 
estly and  honorably  with  others  in  the 
same  profession  without  keeping  to  our- 
selves as  a  trade  secret  all  that  we 
know,  for  our  personal  advantage.  We 
should  unite  for  commercial  purposes 
to  eliminate  all  trade  abuses,  cancella- 
tions, excessive  and  uncalled-for '  dis- 
counts and  all  other  unbusinejlSTlike 
practices  on  the  part  of  customelfs  aiid 
ourselves.  *  j^**' 

Form  of  Organization.  '  ^\.;X 

Let  us  try  to  bring  about  a  better 
understanding  among  the  men  engaged 
in  our  business,  strengthen  confidence 
in  the  spoken  and  written  woud  and 
make  men  realize  the  absolute  necessity 
of  fidelity  to  their  promises.  We  must 
organize  for  the  purpose  of  simplifying 
safe  credit  and  to  rid  the  country  of 
everything  that  acts  as  an  obstacle  to 
the  exchange  of  our  products.  Let  us 
establish  the  principles  once  and  for  all 
developed  in  the  individual  whose  word 
is  as  good  as  his  bond.  No  higher  trait 
than  this  can  be  sought. 

The  sentiment  in  favor  of  adopting 
ways  and  means  by  which  this  move- 
ment can  be  made  a  national  affair,  is 
markedly  strong  at  present,  as  has 
been  proven  by  statements  made  by 
men  having  large  interests  involved. 

The  committee  has  taken  up  the  ques- 
tion of  ways  and  means  and  found  it 
necessary  to  consider  which  of  two 
plans  is  more  advisable:  Whether  three 
or  more  members  of  the  society  may  in- 
corporate under  the  laws  of  any  of  the 
states  for  the  express  purpose  of  creat- 
ing a  national  bureau  of  credits  and  col- 
lections, or  whether  it  would  be   more 


practical  and  fully  as  useful  to  our 
members  for  the  work  to  be  done  by  a 
commercial  agency  already  operating 
in  Chicago,  New  York  and  Boston  and 
providing  its  members  with  such  in- 
formation as  might  be  sought  relative 
to  the  financial  standing  of  any  busi- 
ness concern  on  its  list. 

If  an  Organization  of  Florists. 

If  we  should  organize  a  corporation, 
as  stated  above,  it  should  be  capitalized 
for  at  least  $50,000,  in  1,000  shares  of 
$50  each.  The  officers  should  consist 
of  a  president,  secretary,  treasurer  and 
board  of  directors,  having  an  office  in 
any  of  the  cities,  and  sufficient  office 
force,  all  subject  to  the  jurisdiction  of 
the  board  of  directors. 

The  duties  of  the  officers  and  their 
compensation  can  be  defined  more  in 
detail  at  a  future  meeting. 

The  annual  dues  to  be  paid  by  sub- 
scribers should  be  at  least  $25. 

It  would  be  necessary  to  dispose  of 
at' least  500  shares  to  insure  sufficient 
capital  before  the  work  could  proceed- 

The  by-laws  •  should  provide  that  no 
person  can  purchase  more  than  one 
shiare  of  stock. 

Each  subscriber  would  be  entitled  to 
a  certain  number  of  reports,  to  be 
agreed  upon  lat^r. 

Such  an  organization,  while  serving 
a  useful  purpose,  would  necessarily  have 
to  acquire  its  credit  inforiyiation  slowly; 
its  growth  would  be  a  healthy  one  and 
eventually  we  would  have  a  credit  or- 
ganization of  our  own  which  would  be 
practical  and,  in  time,  self-supporting. 

If  we  adopt  the  second  method,  of 
indorsing  any  of  the  established  asso- 
ciations to  conduct  this  branch  of  our 
business,  it  is  quite  probable  that  the 
information  furnished  by  them  would 
be  more  or  less  limited,  due  to  their  ter- 
ritorial, rather  than  national,  scope. 

Having  embodied  as  thoroughly  as 
possible  in  this  short  report  the  neces- 
sity of  instituting  such  a  bureau  and 
the  courses  which  can  be  pursued  to  the 
desired  end,  it  is  now  incumbent  upon 
the  members  of  the  society  to  determine 
which  method  they  consider  best 
adapted  to  meet  the  situation,  as  pre- 
sented here.

Extracts  from  the  statemont  of  Patrick  Welch, 
chairman,  at  a  meftinK  of  the  S.  A.  F.  commit- 
tee on  credits  and  collections  bureau,  at  New 
York,    August  20.  .   .  ,, 


Another  convention  of  the  S.  A.  F. 
has  passed  into  history.  In  quality  of 
attendance  and  exhibits,  it  left  nothing 
to  be  desired.  It  carried  one  back  to 
the  time  when,  at  the  suggestion  of  the 
late  William  Scott,  the  first  trade  ex- 
hibit, consisting  of  ferns,  was  set  up  at 
the  Buffalo  convention  by  Henry  A. 
Dreer,  Inc.  The  varieties  grown  at  that 
time  were  well  done,  but  vastly  superior 
ones  are  now  seen,  although  many  of  the 
older  and  popular  kinds  are  yet  in  com- 
merce. 

The  exhibits  of  decorative  plants 
proved  the  assertion  that  home-grown 
stock  is  preferable,  and  the  exigencies 
of  the  situation  have  brought  out  the 
best  efforts  of  the  grower,  with  the  re- 
sult that  possibly  finer  stock  was 
seji^O.inj  if  ever,  seen  at  any  trade,  or 
evien  flower,  show.  That  there  were  not 
more  buyers  oir  .visitors  to  show  appreci- 


ation is  to  be  deplored,  but  the  fact 
seemingly  remains  that  to  roach  the 
purchaser  today  it  is  necessary  to  do 
so  by  means  of  a  pen  picture  via  the 
route  of  the  trade  press.  The  display  of 
florists'  supplies  was  the  acme  of  per- 
fection, absolutely  nothing  lacking  that 
is  demanded  by  the  floral  artist  in  these 
modern  times. 

The  absence  of  Dutch  bulbs  was  no- 
ticed, and  the  reason  for  this  is  well 
understood.  It  was  announced,  how- 
ever, that  a  shipment  had  left  a  Hol- 
land port,  so  that  there  may  be  enough 
for  the  seedsmen  to  supply  their  retail 
trade.  Otherwise  this  loss  alone  will  be 
far  more  serious  than  that  of  the 
grower. 

As  the  social  features  in  the  main 
were  eliminated,  there  was  afforded 
many  of  the  old  guard  an  opportunity 
for  reminiscences,   and  one  ran  across

many  groups  indulging  in  recalling  fa- 
miliar scenes,  past  but  never  forgotten. 
But,  in  the  language  of  Robert  Karl- 
strom,  landscape  architect  of  A.  N. 
Pierson,  Inc.,  "We  take  a  vastly 
broader  view  of  things,  and  looking  into 
the  grand  perspective  of  the  future  we 
see  tremendous  possibilities  for  our  busi- 
ness."  This  seemed  to  be  the  sentiment 
of  all,  and  when  the  veterans,  Eobert 
Craig  and  E.  G.  Hill,  spoke,  their  fire 
enthused  the  younger  element,  who 
eagerly  listened  to  and  absorbed  the 
words  of  wisdom  so  freely  imparted. 

When  Commodore  Westcott  presented 
the  beautiful  chest  of  silver  to  Presi- 
dent Kerr,  with  a  speech  full  of  punch, 
Fred  Lautenschlager  remarked  that  the 
outburst  of  enthusiasm  exceeded  the 
noise  made  by  the  exhaust  on  their  most 
powerful  boiler,  and,  as  he  is  an  expert 
on  such  matters,  one  can  imagine  how 
popular  our  president  has  made  himself. 


No  untoward  incident  happened  to 
mar  the  occasion,  unless  what  might 
have  been  a  serious  accident  could  be 
called  such.  Julius  Ludwig,  of  Pitts- 
burgh, and  C.  Ford,  of  Philadelphia, 
were  in  the  act  of  boarding  a  car.  The 
car  gave  a  lurch  and  threw  both  men 
headlong,  temporarily  laming  Mr.  Lud- 
wig and  bruising  Mr.  Ford,  also  scat- 
tering his  books  and  papers.  Gathering 
them  together,  he  commented  that  the 
"bruising  came  easier  than  the  orders." 

The  meetings  were  most  harmonious, 
in  direct  contrast  to  the  noise  without, 
where  the  rappings  of  a  pneumatic  ham- 
mer on  an  immense  hotel  in  course  of 
erection  threatened  to  drown  all  other 
sound,  and  even  at  the  meeting  of  the 
American  Rose  Society,  when  President 
Benjamin  Hammond  invited  all  "to  the 
front  as  at  a  love  feast,"  one  had  diffi- 
culty in  hearing  the  good  things  being 
told  about.  W.  M. 


WIND  STORM  INSURANCE 


ffdr?s?i!^tys?ir7S?ir^^s?ir?svi^stir?SYir?^ 


AT  the  time  President  Kerr  ap- 
pointed your  committee  on  wind 
storm  insurance  the  State  Florists'  As- 
sociation of  Indiana  was  working  to 
organize  a  company  among  the  florists 
of  the  United  States  for  mutual  protec- 
tion against  damage  from  hail,  wind 
and  snow.  I  will  briefly  review  the 
work  that  has  been  done  and  what  led 
up  to  it. 

March  23,  as  you  all  know,  a  cyclone 
passed  over  New  Albany,  Ind.,  taking 
a  toll  of  fifty-one  lives  and  approxi- 
mately $1,000,000  worth  of  property. 
Our  place  of  about  250,000  square  feet, 
while  not  directly  in  tiie  path  of  the 
storm,  was  badly  wrecked  and,  as  near 
as  we  can  figure  at  this  time,  the  loss  to 
our  buildings  amounts  to  about  $35,000, 
besides  the  loss  in  stock  and  trade.  Mr. 
Swift's  place  of  about  7,000  square  feet 
was  totally  destroyed  and  the  green- 
houses of  Gueltig,  Pontrich,  Laden  and 
Aebersold,  all  small  places,  were  badly 
damaged.  About  the  same  time  torna- 
does visited  other  places,  notably  New- 
castle, Ind.,  and  Mattoon,  111. 

The  Search  for  Data. 

I  had  tried  on  several  occasions  to 
get  wind  storm  insurance,  but  the  rates 
up  to  about  a  year  ago  were  so  high 
(about  $30  per  $1,000)  that  it  was  out 
of  the  question  to  carry  this  kind  of  in- 
surance. Too  late  I  have  learned  that 
for  the  last  year  it  has  been  possible  to 
get  insurance  for  about  $11  per  $1,000. 
But  the  protection  is  not  satisfactory. 
You  have  to  carry  a  full  insurance  to 
get  this  rate;  if  only  partial  insurance 
is  carried  the  rate  is  double.  The  com- 
pany will  not  pay  for  broken  glass  un- 
less twenty  per  cent  of  the  framework 
is  destroyed.  The  insurance  only  covers 
the  superstructure.  Benches,  steam 
pipes,  etc.,  are  not  included.  After 
what  happened,  which  we  had  always 
dreaded  but  hoped  would  not  happpen, 
I  felt  I  had  to  have  protection  at  any 
cost. 

While  I  still  have  courage  to  rebuild

convention. 


and  have  faith  in  the  future,  I  question, 
if  a  similar  calamity  were  to  over- 
take me  ten  years  from  now,  whether  I 
would  have  the  courage  to  go  ahead. 
I  might  face  want  in  my  old  age;  so  I 
took  out  $50,000  worth  of  insur- 
ance, for  which  I  paid  $550  for  one 
year,  although  I  felt  this  rate  was 
exorbitant  and  altogether  out  of  propor- 
tion to  the  losses  from  wind  storms  to 
greenhouses.  In  the  past  I  have  often 
thought  of  the  possibility  of  forming  a 
mutual  company  among  greenhousemeu 
for  protection  against  damage  from 
wind  storms;  in  fact,  I  had  proposed  to 
the  Hail  Association  that  it  widen  its 
scope  and  include  wind.  The  directors 
of  this  association,  however,  were  never 
in  favor  of  this,  claiming  that  there 
were  obstacles  in  tlie  way  that  seemed 
insurmountable.  Time  may  proVe  that 
they  were  right,  but  I  had  enough  faitli 
in  it  to  at  least  give  it  a  trial.  To  get 
information  on  wliich  to  base  rates  and 
get  the  sentiment  in  regard  to  such  an 
association,  I  sent  postcards,  with  reply 
cards  attached,  to  500  of  the  largest 
growers  in  all  sections  of  the  country, 
asking  the  following  questions: 

How  mucli  have  yon  lost  by  wind  storm  in  the 
last   ten    years'.' 

In   what    year   tliil    loss   occur? 

What  is  the  size  of  your  range? 

What  construction?  AH  steel,  or  pipe  or  wood- 
frame?  '  •'' 

Would  you  join  a  mutual  company  for  insuring 
aitainst  wind  and  luiil  if  rates  could  be  made 
reasonable? 

About  150  replies  were  received,  with 
more  than  two-thirds  in  favor  of  a 
mutual  company.  The  replies  repre- 
sented about  16,500,000  square  feet  of 
glass,  with  a  total  loss  of  about  $165,- 
000  in  ten  years.  Figuring  the  average 
value  of  greenhouses  at  $500  per  1,000 
square  feet,  this  would  make  the  losses 
one-fifth  of  one  per  cent  per  year.  How- 
ever, it  is  reasonable  to  suppose  that 
the  150  who  replied  averaged  more 
losses  than  the  350  who  took  no  inter- 
est, and  from  this  standpoint  the  losses 
would  average  much  less  than  one-fifth 
of  one  per  cent.  After  getting  thig  in- 
formation for  a  working  basi^"i'fta'  re- 
ceiving many  letters  indorsing  the 
movement,  I  brought 'the  matter  before 


the  State  Florists'  Association  of  In- 
diana. I  realized  that  this  was  not  a 
one  man's  job  and  that  I,  being  prac- 
tically unknown  to  the  trade  at  large, 
could  not  inspire  tlie  confidence  that 
the  Indiana  society  could.  Further- 
more, as  the  state  of  Indiana  has  been 
the  worst  sufferer  from  storms  this  year, 
many  of  her  florists  sustaining  heavy 
losses,  it.  seemed  to  me  that  more  in- 
terest would  be  taken  there  than  any 
otlier  place. 

Covers  Hall,  Snow  and  Wind  Damages. 

I  was  not  disappointed.  Money  was 
voted  to  carry  on  the  preliminary  work, 
and  a  committee  of  five,  Herman  Junge, 
A.  F.  J.  Baur,  Charles  Pahud,  Lennes 
Elder  and  myself,  was  appointed  to 
draft  a  constitution  and  by-laws  and  to 
formulate'  a  working  plan. 

The  first  question  that  presented  it- 
self to  this  committee  was  the  scope  of 
the  association.  Should  it  be  confined 
to  wind  storm  insurance,  or  should  hail 
and  snow  be  included.  After  careful 
consideration  it  was  unanimously 
agreed  that  all  three  should  be  included, 
for  the  reason  that  in  many  cases  it 
would  be  hard  to  determine  what  dam- 
age was  done  by  hail,  wind  or  snow. 

We  realized  that,  by  including  hail, 
in  some  measure  we  would  interfere 
with  the  Florists'  Hail  Association, 
which  has  been  such  a  benefit  to  the 
trade  at  large,  so  we  decided  to  go  no 
farther  before  proposing  to  them  that 
they  include  wind  storm  insurance. 
The  matter  was  presented  at  the  board 
of  directors'  meeting  at  Trenton,  N.  J., 
June  8,  but  it  was  found  that  the  asso- 
ciation's charter  did  not  give  it  the 
privilege  to  insure  against  any  kind 
of  damage  except  from  hail.  We  then 
proceeded  to  draft  a  constitution  and 
Ijy-laws.  In  this  work  we  were  greatly 
jis.sisted  by  having  a  copy  of  the  new 
constitution  and  by-laws  of  the  Hail 
Association,  prepared  by  J.  A.  Valen- 
tine, of  Denver,  Colo.  He  kindly  con- 
sented to  let  us  copy  as  much  of  it  as 
we  could  use,  we  making  such  changes 
as  we  found  necessary  for  our  ])urpose, 
and  to  comply  with  the  insurance  laws 
of  Indiana. 

The  Grading  of  Risks. 

We  gave  much  thought  to  the  grading 
of  the  risk,  but  as  there  are  hardly  two 
greenhouses  built  alike  we  divided  them 
into  four  classes.  All  steel  or  iron- 
frame  houses,  with  double  strength 
glass;  all  steel  or  iron-frame  houses, 
with  single  glass;  pipe  or  wood-frame, 
with  double  strength  glass;  pipe  or 
wood-frame,  with  single  glass.  As  age 
enters  into  wind  resistance  of  green- 
liouscs,  any  applicant  will  have  to  state 
the  year  in  wliich  each  house  was  built, 
and  the  by-laws  provide  for  inspection 
in  doubtful  cases  and  the  termination 
of  risks  that  have  become  unsafe. 

Mutual  insurance,  well  managed, 
means  insurance  at  actual  cost.  Stock 
companies  are  in  the  business  to  make 
money.  That  means  insurance  at  cost, 
plus  a  profit  for  the  stockholders. 

From  the  records  we  deemed  it  fair 
and  just  to  rate  the  wliole  country 
alike,  as  far  as  wind  storms  are  con- 
cerned. We,  of  course,  provided  a  lower 
rate  for  steel-frame  houses,  as  there  is 
no  question  tliat  they  will  with- 
stand more  wind  than  pipe-frame 
houses.  On  account  of  the  greater  fre- 
quency of  hail  in  tlie  west,  we  divided 
the    country    into     two     districts,     one

cast  of  the  Mississippi,  including  Min- 
nesota, and  the  other  west  of  the  Missis- 
sippi. The  reports  of  the  Florists'  Hail 
Association,  for  the  years  ending  1914- 
1915,  and  1916,  show  that  the  risk  is 
several  times  greater  in  the  west  than 
in  the  east,  and  our  first  assessments 
are  based  on  these  reports.  These  re- 
ports also  show  that  single  strength 
glass  is  more  than  twice  as  ^isky  as 
double;  hence  the  higher  rates. 

The  by-laws  provide  that  if  condi- 
tions should  change,  and  the  risk  be- 
come less  in  the  west  and  greater  in 
the  east,  the  rates  will  be  adjusted. 
The  object  will  be,  as  far  as  possible, 
to  do  justice  to  florists  in  all  parts  of 
the  country.  The  proposed  by-laws  pro- 
vide that  no  loss  less  than  one-half  of 
one  per  cent  shall  be  paid.  This  is  to 
eliminate  the  adjustment  of  small, 
pettj'  losses,  as  the  object  of  the  asso- 
ciation should  be  to  protect  against 
losses  that  will  materially  affect  the 
insured. 

Hills  Not  a  Protection? 

The  protection  against  snow  we  had 
to  eliminate,  as  the  insurance  laws  of 
Indiana  do  not  provide  for  this;  but 
when  the  legislature  meets,  we  have  no 
doubt  we  can  have  a  law  passed  that 
will  permit  us  to  include  insurance  of 
that  kind.  It  may  interest  you  to  know 
that  a  great  many  of  those  to  whom  our 
postcards  were  sent  and  who  replied 
that  they  were  not  interested  in  wind 


storm  insurance,  gave  as  a  reason  that 
they  never  had  wind  storms  severe 
enough  to  damage.  Others  said  they 
were  protected  by  hills.  New  Albany  is 
protected  by  hills  on  the  southwest, 
west  and  northwest.  The  cyclone  that 
struck  us  came  right  down  the  side  of 
the  highest  hill,  cutting  down  trees  and 
everything  else  in  its  path.  We  had  a 
pet  theory  that  the  hills  would  protect 
us,  but  we  have  had  to  change  our 
minds. 

The  state  board  of  Indiana  will  act  as 
trustee  until  a  sufficient  number  have 
joined  to  incorporate;  at  such  time  a 
membership  meeting  will  be  held  and 
twelve  trustees  elected,  the  trustees  to 
be  selected  from  all  over  the  country. 
The  business  will  then  be  turned  over 
to  them  and  the  Indiana  florists'  societj' 
reimbursed  only  for  money  actually 
paid  out.  The  work  of  the  committee 
is  done  absolutely  free  of  charge  and 
we  shall  feel  well  repaid  if  we  are  in- 
strumental in  helping  to  start  a  move- 
ment that  should  prove  a  protection  to 
the  florists  and  greenhousemen  of  the 
United  States;  that  will  make  it  pos- 
sible, by  a  reasonable  outlay  of  money, 
to  secure  a  man  from  losing,  in  a  few 
seconds,  what  it  often  has  taken  a  life- 
time to  accumulate. 

[The  convention  authorized  the  ap- 
pointment of  a  special  and  independent 
committee  to  investigate  the  Indiana 
plans  and  give  the  official  indorsement 
of  the  S.  A.  F.  if  found  worthy.— Ed.]

Mr  AMERICA  VS.  EUROPE 


nr 


THE  question  of  importation  of 
plants  from  foreign  countries  to 
supply  the  florists'  trade  of  America 
has  become  of  paramount  importance, 
and  the  nursery  and  florists'  interests 
must  consider  whether  they  will  con- 
tinue to  import  such  foreign  material, 
which  may  be  considered  necessary  to 
the  carrying  out  of  the  business,  or  co- 
operate in  growing  their  own  suj)ply  at 
home. 

In  many  cases  the  best  tliat  can  l»e 
said  of  a  large  percentage  of  the  im- 
ported material  is  that  tlie  American 
florist*gets  plants  in  an  inferior  condi- 
tion somewhat  cheaper  than  a  better 
class  of  the  same  stock  could  be  pro- 
duced at  liome,  liut,  having  ])ei'ome  ac- 
customed to  purchasing  this  foreign 
stock,  he  lias  fallen  into  the  erroneous 
belief  that  stock  of  this  cliaracter  can- 
iTot  be  produced  in  this  country  and 
there  is  nothing  else  for  him  to  do. 

The  reasons  why  the  American  florists' 
and  nursery  trades  should  grow  the 
greatest  bulk  of  the  material  which  they 
now  import  are  many.  The  sooner  the 
nurserymen  and  plant  growers  of  Amer- 
ica awaken  to  the  possibilities  of  their 
own  country  for  producing  the  needed 
stock,  the  better.  The  rose  growers 
of  California  have  long  produced  their 
own  stocks  for  budding,  and  certain 
California  nurseries  have  long  grown 
their  own  Mariana  and  Mazzard  stocks. 
No  nurseryman  would  think  of  import- 
ing peach  stocks  for  budding,  instead 
of  planting   Carolina  pits  and  growing

them  himself.  Carnations  originally 
came  from  Europe,  but  who  would  look 
to  I^urope  today  for  a  stock  of  carna- 
tion plants  to  be  grown  in  America? 
The  grapes  now  grown  in  California 
originally  came  from  France  or  Spain, 
but  what  California  vineyardist  would 
go  to  France  or  Spain  to  stock  liis  vine- 
yards now?  As  it  is  with  these  things 
toda\,  so  may  it  be  with  many  things 
in  the  near  future,  or  whenever  Amer- 
ican energy  and  capital,  coupled  with 
cultural  skill,  set  out  to  produce  them. 
U.  S.  Can  Supply  Own  Needs. 

Someone  has  said  the  old  argument  is 
always  advanced  that  in  this  land  of 
ours  anything  can  be  produced  that  is 
jii educed  elsewhere,  and  while  admit- 
ting the  saying  is  applicable  to  manu- 
factured articles,  it  has  been  denied 
ihat  it  is  applicable  to  the  products  of 
nature;  that  nature  drops  her  favors  in 
widely  scattered  localities,  not  always 
within  the  borders  of  our  own  countries. 
In  reply  to  such  statements  the  asser- 
tion may  well  be  risked  that  there  are 
not  a  dozen  articles  necessary  to  the 
florists'  or  nursery  trade  of  the  United 
States  imported  today  tliat  cannot  be 
produced  somewhere  in  this  country 
under  climatic  and  soil  conditions 
which  are  more  favorable  than  the  con- 
ditions often  existing  in  most  of  the 
localities  where  the  imported  stock  is 
produced. 

As  an  example,  Belgian  azaleas  used 
for  forcing  are  now  being  grown  by 
hundreds  of  thousands  at  Eureka,  Cal. 
The  plants  not  only  make  better  and 
stronger  growth,  and  larger  plants  can 
be      produced      in      a      shorter      grow- 


ing period  than  in  Belgium,  but' 
the  plants  finish  their  budding  a 
month  earlier,  are  more  uniformly 
budded  and  the  buds  are  thor- 
oughly ripe  before  the  shipping  season 
commences,  so  that  when  the  stock  is 
delivered  to  the  American  forcer  it  will 
bo  of  better  quality  than  Belgian-grown 
stock,  and  in  the  process  of  delivery 
will  not  be  exposed  to  the  damage  in 
transit  which  frequently  occurs  with 
Belgian  azaleas  shipped  across  the 
ocean. 

Again,  taking  all  of  the  nursery  stock 
that  is  imported  from  Holland  and 
France,  there  are  not  many  items  pro- 
duced by  the  Holland  growers,  or  by 
the  French  nurserymen,  which  cannot 
be  produced  of  superior  quality  in  a 
large  area  of  country,  comprising  the 
bulk  of  the  Humboldt  county,  Cal., 
coast  line  and  continuing  northward  to 
the  British  Columbia  line.  Hundreds 
of  thousands  of  boxwoods,  heretofore 
exclusively  Holland  products,  can  be 
seen  in  all  stages  of  growth  in  northern 
California,  and  the  same  is  true  of  hol- 
lies, broad-leaved  evergreens,  rhododen- 
drons and  all  of  the  coniferous  ever- 
greens. The  hardy  azaleas,  which  have 
been  heretofore  almost  exclusively  im- 
ported from  Holland  and  Japan,  are 
now  being  grown  in  the  same  lavish 
quantities  in  northern  California. 
Bulb  Production. 

Take  the  question  of  hyacinth,  tulip, 
narcissus  and  other  bulbs,  commonly 
known  as  Dutch  bulbs.  There  are  mil- 
lions of  these  bulbs  now  growing  along 
the  Pacific  coast  at  various  points  from 
Santa  Cruz  northward  to  Vancouver, 
B.  C,  and  in  the  vicinity  of  Norfolk, 
Va.  Here,  again,  may  be  found  locali- 
ties where  the  climatic  and  soil  condi- 
tions are  far  superior  to  the  conditions 
in  which  these  bulbs  are  grown  in  any 
part  of  Europe.  In  Holland,  in  spite 
of  the  conditions  that  are  decidedly 
unfavorable  for  the  culture  of  these 
bulbs  when  compared  with  the  condi- 
tions in  the  Pacific  coast  bulb  district, 
the  Hollanders  have,  through  sheer  de- 
votion ,to  their  business,  and  stubbornly 
and  laboriously  giving  the  culture  of 
these  bulbs  their  undivided  attention, 
and  also  through  shrewd  ability  to  ad- 
vertise and  sell  their  goods,  enjoyed  a 
])ractical  monopoly  of  what  is  known 
as  Dutch  bulb  growing,  simply  because 
no  one  else  in  any  other  part  of  the 
world  has  thought  it  worth  while  to 
delve  deeply  into  commercial  bulb  cul- 
ture, and  give  it  the  necessary  atten- 
tion to  make  a  success  of  it. 

In  the  Eureka  bulb  district  lilies  grow 
luxuriantly  and,  when  left  alone,  in- 
crease from  year  to  year  until  enormous 
clumps  that  bloom  annually  are  the 
result.  Gladiolus  bulbs  which  were 
planted  three  years  ago  turned  out 
clumps  of  from  ninety  to  110  salable 
bulbs  to  the  clump.  These  bulbs  had 
not  been  cultivated  and  were  sur- 
rounded by  a  thick  growth  of  grass. 
The  same  was  found  to  be  true  of  all 
Aarieties  of  narcissi,  and  in  some  in- 
stances clumps  of  hyacinths  were  dis- 
covered which  had  been  blooming  in 
the  same  position  for  several  years. 
Examination  of  these  clumps  showed 
large,  vigorous,  solid  bulbs  in  perfect 
health,  with  not  a  sign  of  disease  of 
any  kind. 

Now,    it    seems    that    this    will    ulti- 
mately prove  to  be  the  true  solution  of 
the  question  of  providing  the  necessary 
stock  to  carry  on  the  florists'  and  nurs-

The  Florists^  Review 


91 


The  ex-presidents  of  the  New  York 
Florists'  Club  gave  a  luncheon  on  the 
evening  of  August  21  to  some  of  the 
prominent  members  of  the  S.  A.  F.  from 
out  of  town.  Those  in  attendance  were 
F.  E.  Pierson,  W.  F.  Gude,  John  West- 
cott,  Eobert  Craig,  E.  G,  Hill,  Frank 
Traendly,  George  Asmus,  Charles 
Critchell,  Charles  H.  Totty,  A.  L.  Miller, 
John  Canning,  Henry  Weston,  Joseph 
A.  Manda,  W.  H.  Siebrecht,  Sr.,  Philip 
F.  Kessler,  W.  A.  Manda  and  A.  Her- 
rington.  There  were  much  jollity  and 
felicitation.  The  principal  speakers 
were  Robert  Craig,  John  Westcott,  E.  G. 
Hill,  W.  F.  Gude  and  George  Asmus. 

Mrs.  A.  L.  Miller  entertained  a  party 
of  sixteen  ladies  with  an  automobile 
ride  August  22,  with  tea  at  Hotel  Shel- 
bourne,  Coney  Island. 

Mrs.  F.  H.  Traendly  entertained  a 
party  of  ladies  August  22  on  a  trip  to 
Long  Beach,  L.  I.,  with  tea  at  the  Hotel 
Nassau. 

A  large  party  visited  Cromwell, 
Conn.,  August  24  as  guests  of  A.  N. 
Pierson,  Inc. 

C.  L.  Baum,  of  Knoxville,  Tenn., 
drove  to  the  convention  in  his  car,  be- 
ing accompanied  by  his  two  youngest 
sons,  a  friend  and  the  driver  of  his 
store  truck.  The  distance  one  way  is 
nearly  900  miles.  They  got  through  with 
no  more  trouble  than  one  slow  leak  in 
a  tube. 

Five  half-barrel  tubs  of  hydrangeas 
in  splendid  flower,  supplied  by  F.  R. 
Pierson  Co.,  Tarrytown,  graced  the  en- 
trance to  the  trades'  display  and  added 
greatly  to  the  first  impression  of  the 
show  as  the  visitors  mounted  the  grand 
staircase.  ^ 

Although  there  was  no  general  enter- 
tainment program,  there  were  many 
hospitalities  carried  out  by  individuals 
and  business  houses.  The  most  elaborate 
of  these  was  the  excursion  party  con- 
ducted by  Hitchings  &  Co.  More  than 
100  of  the  visitors  met  at  the  Pennsyl- 
vania terminal  the  morning  after  the 
convention  closed  and  were  escorted  to 
Elizabeth,  N,  J.,  where  they  were  met 
by  automobiles  and  taken  to  the  Hitch- 
ings factory.  After  seeing  how  green- 
house materials  are  turned  out  on  seven 
acres  of  floor  space,  luncheon  was 
served  at  the  splendid  new  club  of  the 
Elks.  Thence  the  autos  made  the  trip 
through  the  delightful  hills  and  dales 
known  as  the  Jersey  Berkshires  to  Mad- 
ison, where  the  Hitchings  people  are 
just  finishing  a  splendid  range  of  five 
steel-frame  houses  for  the  Duckham- 
Pierson  Co.  The  houses  are  61x500, 
each  house  containing  30,000  rose 
plants.  For  these  houses  4,800  boxes 
of  glass  were  used.  There  are  fifteen 
miles  of  pipe  in  the  heating  system, 
although  most  of  it  is  out  of  sight  in  a 
tunnel.  Three  200-horsepower  boilers 
are  connected  to  a  stack  140  feet  high. 
Erection  was  started  May  15  and  the 
range  practically  completed  and  plant- 
ed in  three  months.  Short  stops  also 
weare  made  at  the  establishment  of  L.  B. 


Coddington,  at  Murray  Hill,  where  there 
are  140,000  feet  of  glass  in  roses,  and 
at  President-elect  C.  H.  Totty 's,  where 
tlic  mums  are  a  sight  worth  any 
grower's  envy.  The  return  to  Elizabeth 
and  New  York  was  made  in  the  evening 
at  the  end  of  a  day  of  delight. 

There  was  general  satisfaction  with 
the  elimination  of  all  general  enter- 
tainment. The  New  York  precedent 
will  be  followed  at  St.  Louis  for  the 
combined  flower  show  and  convention, 
because  the  time  will  be  fully  occupied, 
and  at  Detroit,  because  that  city  was 
selected  without  invitation,  so  it  is 
probable  the  frolic  features  have  been 
cut  out  for  good. 

The  feature  of  the  trades'  display 
was  the  showing  of  florists'  supplies, 
the  feature  of  the  florists'  supplies  was 
the  high  quality  of  the  merchandise  and 
the  feature  of  the  quality  was  the  fact 
that  the  stock  all  was  made  in  America. 
One  of  the  slight  compensations  for  the 
war  is  the  fact  that  America  has  be- 
come independent  of  Europe  on  this 
class    of    merchandise. 

When  the  middle-western  visitors 
went  over  to  the  wholesale  cut  flower 
section  and  found  $2  apiece  was  being 
asked  for  eattleyas  it  created  even 
more  talk  than  did  the  humidity  in  the 
atmosphere. 


ANOTHER  SOCIETY  PLANNED. 

A  letter  has  been  mailed  to  all  flo- 
rists in  northern  Iowa  and  southern 
Minnesota,  which  is  self-explanatory. 
It  is  hoped  that  a  meeting  can  l^e  held 
in  Mason  City,  on  account  of  its  central 
location,  early  in  September.  The  let- 
ter follows: 

On  account  of  the  general  increase  In  the  cost 
of  labor  and  all  materials  used  in  the  florists' 
business  it  has  occurred  to  the  A.  N.  Kinsman 
Co.,  of  Austin,  Minn.,  tlie  Lake  Shore  Green- 
house Co.,  of  Albert  Lea,  Minn.,  and  the  Kemblo 
&  Goodman  Co.,  of  Mason  City,  Iowa,  tliat  an 
association^  of  the  florists  of  northern  Iowa  and 
southern  Minnesota  could  only  result  in  mutual 
benefit  at  this  strenuous  time.  Tlie  Iowa  and 
Minnesota  druggists,  coal  dealers,  clothiers,  etc., 
iire  nil  members  of  their  organizations,  working 
together  for  the  common  good,  and  there  is  cer- 
tainly no  good  reason  why  the  florists  should  be 
tlic  last  to  join  the  ranks. 

The  florists  of  Nebraska  and  central  Iowa 
organized  about  the  first  of  the  year  and  have 
already  secured  wonderful  results  In  adopting 
uniform  agents'  commissions,  prompter  payment 
of  accounts,  discontinuing  tlie  payment  of  tele- 
phone charges  and  the  prepayment  of  express 
charges  on  flowers  consigned  to  agents.  These 
are  only  a  few  of  the  things  we  have  in  mind 
and  on  whicli  uniform  action  will  increase  your 
profits. 

If  you  were  a  member  of  such  an  association 
you  would  at  all  times  be  in  touch  with  other 
members  and  could  dispose  of  your  surplus  stock 
to  better  advantage  and  buy  closer  to  home. 

This  communication  is  being  mailed  to  all  flo- 
rists in  our  territory  and  we  will  be  glad  to  have 
you  join  us.  Will  you  do  so  and  will  you  attend 
tlie  first  meeting?  A  meeting  will  be  called  early 
in  September  and  it  is  our  earnest  hope  that  the 
benefits   to   all  will  be  far-reaching.

BUSINESS  EMBARRASSMENTS. 

Portland,  Ore. — The  business  con- 
ducted under  the  name  of  Floral  Studio, 
at  346  Alder  street,  has  been  ordered 
discontinued  by  the  courts.  The  liabil- 
ities are  placed  at  $2,000,  with  assets 
aggregating  about  one-fourth  that 
amount.  R.  L.  Sabin  has  been  appointed 
receiver. 


THE  TRADE  IN  TRAINING. 


Florists  Prepare  for  Wax. 

Each  week  sees  more  members  of  the 
trade  in  the  various  training  camps 
where  the  soldiers  of  Uncle  Sam  are 
learning  the  rules  that  govern  modern 
warfare,  preparatory  to  going  to  the 
battle-fronts  in  Europe.  While  many 
names  have  been  enrolled  on  The  Re- 
view's roster  of  those  in  the  trade  who 
have  volunteered,  or  have  been  drafted, 
there  are  undoubtedly  others  who  have 
gone.  Of  these  The  Review  would  like 
to  hear. 

Back  from  War  Zone. 

George  W.  Crawbuck,  Jr.,  son  of  the 
New  York  wholesaler,  returned  last 
week  from  Europe  aboard  one  of  Uncle 
Sam's  sea  fighters,  and  was  home  for 
a  few  days  before  resuming  his  duties 
as  a  member  of  the  navy. 

Two  Go  from  Denver. 

Eugene  Ardeldt  and  Zeal  Nefif,  mein- 
bers  of  the  staff  of  the  Broadway  store 
of  the  Park  Floral  Co.,  Denver,  Colo., 
have  joined  the  army  and  are,p_qw  in 
Colorado  training  camps.  Mr.'  Ardeldt 
is  a  member  of  the  engineers'  corps  at 
the  rifle  range  near  G6lden,  Colo.,  and 


Mr.  Neff  is  with  the  cavalry  at  Camp 
Baldwin. 

Goes  to  Fight  For  France. 

Andre  Bourdet,  of  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  son 
of  Jules  Bourdet,  vice-president-elect 
of  the  S.  A.  F.,  has  departed  on  the  first 
lap  of  his  journey  to  the  trenches  in 
France,  the  country  in  which  he  was 
born.  He  left  St.  Louis  August  2."? 
with  the  Fifth  Missouri  regiment  for 
the  training  camp  at  Nevada,  Mo. 
With  him  went  Ray  Young,  also  the  sou 
of  a  St.  Louis  florist.  Both  of  the  young 
men  are  members  of  a  machine  gun 
company. 

Brock  Is  Busy, 

The  race  war  at  Houston,  Tex.,  has 
brought  national  prominence  of  a  not 
altogether  desirable  kind  for  the  man 
wlio  had  charge  of  the  S.  A.  F.  con- 
vention garden  of  1916.  Clarence  L. 
Brock,  at  that  time  head  of  the  park 
system,  and  Vice-president  Kerr's 
right-hand  man  in  the  convention 
preparations,  has  since  become  Chief  of 
Police  and  is  in  charge  of  the  officers 
whose  treatment  of  colored  troops  pro- 
voked the  uprising.  Chief  Brock  is  a 
member  of  the  S.  A.  F.  and  a  member 
of  (lie  conyention  ,g9.r.dcn  committee  un- 
til December  31,  1918.

CODE    OF    ROSE    NOMENCLATURE. 


Adopted  by  the  Rose  Society. 

At  its  meeting  in  Now  York  August 
23  the  American  Kose  Society  adopted 
tlie  following: 

PUEAMRLE. 
RoaliziiiK  the  great  confusion  and  inconve- 
nience tliat  arise  from  a  duplication  of  names 
and  recognizinK  tlie  Brent  convenience  and  satis- 
faction to  tlie  rosarian,  and  especially  to  tlie 
cottago  gardener,  of  simple,  usable  names,  the 
American  Rose  Society  adopts  the  foUowinK 
rules  of  nomenclature,  to  appl.v  to  the  names 
used  in  all  the  publications  of  this  society  and 
at  its  exhibitions,  and  at  exhibitions  to  which 
it    contributes    medals: 

PRIOUITY. 

Rule  1.  No  two  varieties  of  roses  shall  bear 
the  same  name.  The  name  first  publislied  shall 
be  tlie  accepted  and  recognized  one.  except  in 
cases  where  the  name  has  been  applied  in  viola- 
tion of  this  code. 

NAME. 

Rule  2.  In  selecting  iiMines  for  varieties  the 
following  points  should  be  emphasized:  Dis- 
tinctiveness. simpli<'ity,  ease  of  iironunciation 
and  spelling,  indication  of  origin  or  parentage. 

PIBLICATION 
Rule  3.  Publication  consists  (1)  in  registra- 
tion with  the  American  Rose  Society;  or  (2)  in 
•tlie  distribution  of  a  printed  description  of  the 
variety  named,  giving  the  distinguishing  charac- 
ters of  flower,  foliage,  plant,  etc.;  or  (3)  in  the 
publication  of  a  new  name  for  a  variety  that  is 
properl.v  described  elsewhere,  such  p'.iblication 
to  be  made  in  any  book,  bulletin,  rejiort,  trade 
catalogue  or  i)erio(lical,  provided  the  issue  bears 
tlie  date  of  its  luiblication  and  is  generally  dis- 
tributed among  rose  growers,  florists,  nurser.v- 
men  and  horti<'ulturists;  or  (4)  in  certain  cases 
the  general  recognition  of  a  name  for  a  propa- 
gated variety  in  ii  cfunniunity  for  a  number  of 
years   shall   constitute   pulilication   of   that   name. 

CITATION. 
Rule  4.      In  the  full   and   formal   citation   of  a 
variety  name,    tin-   name  of   tlie  originator  or  in- 
troducer   who    first    iiublislied     or     exhibited    it, 
shall  also  be  given. 

REVISION. 

Rule  o.  No  jiroperly  itublished  variet.v  name 
shall  be  changed  for  any  reason  except  conflict 
with  this  code,  nor  shall  another  variety  be  sub- 
stituteil  for  that  originally  described  thereunder. 
Necessary  changes  to  conform  to  the  jirovisions 
of  this  code  shall  be  recommended  by  tlie  com- 
mittee on  nomenclature  and  adopted  by  vote  of 
the  society  before  being  officially  recognized. 
ENFORCE.MENT. 

Rule  fi.  A.  The  secretary  shall  withhold 
registration  of  any  name  not  conforming  to 
these  rules,  or.  if  in  doubt,  shall  refer  the  ap- 
])lication  to  the  nomenclature  committee  for 
recommendation. 

R.  The  society  will  withhold  its  medals  and 
money  prizes  from  American  roses  whose  names 
do  not  conform  to  these  rules,  or  foreign  roses 
not  exhibited  under  the  names  as  modified  by 
the   society. 

V.  The  secretary  and  editor  of  the  publica- 
tions of  the  American  Rose  Society  are  em- 
powered and  directed  to  carry  out  these  rules 
in  all  literature  issued   by  the  society. 

In  applying  tlie  foregoing  rules  the  following 
principles   shall  be   recognized: 

RULE    1— PRIORITY. 

A.  The  paramount  right  of  the  originator, 
discoverer  or  introducer  of  a  new  variety  to 
name  it,  within  the  limitations  of  this  code,  is 
recognized   and  empliasized. 

B.  Where  a  variety  ntime  through  long  usage 
has  liecome  thoroughly  established  in  American 
floricultural  literature  for  two  or  more  varieties. 


it  should  not  lie  displaced  or  radically  modified 
for  either  variety,  except  in  cases  where  a  well 
known  synonym  can  be  advanced  to  the  position 
of  leading  name.  The  several  varieties  bearing 
identical  names  should  be  distinguished  by  add- 
ing the  name  of  the  originator  or  introducer  of 
each  sort,  or  by  adding  some  other  suitable  dis- 
tinguishing term  that  will  insure  their  identity 
in  catalogues  or  discussions. 

C.  Existing  American  names  of  varieties 
which  conflict  with  earlier  published  foreign 
names  of  the  same  or  other  varieties,  but  which 
have  become  thoroughly  establislied  tlirougii  long 
usage,  shall  not  be  displaced. 

RULE   2.— NAMING. 

A.  No  variety  shall  be  named  unless  distinctly 
superior  to  existing  varieties  in  some  Important 
characteristic,  nor  until  it  has  been  determined 
to  disseminate  it. 

B.  When  the  exigencies  of  a  case  make  it 
appear  expedient,  such  words  as  white,  red, 
double,  and  similar  ones,  may  be  used  as  part 
of  a  name,  but  not  such  names  as  seedling, 
hybrid  or  sport. 

C.  The  spelling  and  pronunciation  of  a  varie- 
tal name  derived  from  a  personal  or  geographical 
name  shall  be  governed  by  the  rules  that  control 
the  spelling  and  pronunciation  of  the  name  from 
which    it   is   derived. 

1).  A  variety  imported  from  a  foreign  country 
shall  retain  its  foreign  name,  subject  only  to 
such  modification  as  is  necessary  to  conform  it 
to  this  code. 

E.  The  name  of  a  person  should  not  be  ap- 
plied to  a  variety  during  his  life  without  his 
expressed  consent.  The  name  of  a  deceased 
horticulturist  should  not  be  so  applied  except 
with  the  consent  of  his  or  her  heirs. 

F.  Tlie  use  of  a  latinized  name,  for  a  variet.y, 
or  a  cross,  or  hybrid,  is  not  admissible. 

(r.  The  use  of  a  number,  either  singly  or  at- 
tached to  a  word,  should  be  considered  only  as 
a  temporar.v  expedient  while  the  variety  is 
undergoing  preliminary  test. 

II.  In  applying  the  various  provisions  of  this 
rule  to  an  existing  varietal  name  that  has 
through  long  usage  become  firmly  imbedded  in 
American  floricultural  literature,  no  change  shall 
be  made  which  will  involve  loss  of  identity. 

RULE    3— CITATION. 

A.  In  determining  the  name  of  a  variet.v  to 
which  two  or  more  names  have  been  given,  that 
which  was  published  first,  in  conformity  to  the 
rules   of   this  code,    shall  be  recognized. 

On    motion    of    Robert    Pyle    it    was 

voted  that  it  shall  be  allowable  to  use  a 

name  for  a  variety  which   has  been  in 

previous   existence,   provided   tlie  name 

has  not  been  in  use  for  at  least  twenty 

years. 

OBITUARY. 

Miss  Adelaide  Kresken. 

Miss  Adelaide  Kresken,  for  many 
years  a  florist  at  Cincinnati,  O.,  died 
August  25  at  her  home  in  Clifton,  near 
tliat  city.  Miss  Kresken  was  taken  sick 
shortly  after  her  return  from  the  S.  A. 
F.  convention  at  San  Francisco  two 
years  ago,  and  since  that  time  had  not 
been  in  good  healtli. 

Miss  Kresken  was  born  in  Krefeld, 
Germany,  fifty-two  years  ago.  When 
she  was  4  years  old  her  parents  came 
to  this  country  and  opened  a  flower 
store  at  Cincinnati.  Miss  Kresken  was 
about  the  place  from  childhood,  and 
ultimately  became  its  owner. 

She  is  survived  by  her  father,  A.  H. 
Kresken,  and  one  brother,  Lawrence 
Kresken.  C.  H.  H. 


ST.  LOUIS. 

The  Market. 

The  rain  and  cooler  weather  of  last 
week  benefited  stock,  which  has  been 
coming  in  better  quality.  Asters  are 
in  good  demand,  especially  the  lighter 
shades,  which  are  taking  the  place  of 
carnations,  the  latter  being  of  poor 
quality  and  short  supply.  Gladioli  are 
flooding  the  market  and  are  cheap. 
Special  colors  demand  somewhat  better 
prices,  while  mixed  colors  sell  for  as 
low  as  $1  per  hundred. 

Tuberoses  are  coming  daily  by  the 
thousands  and  sell  at  $1  per  hundred. 
There  are  many  roses  coming,  most  of 
them  being  of  poor  quality.  The 
best  flowers  all  are  ordered  in  ad- 
vance of  their  arrival.  Hydrangeas  are 
in  demand  for  funeral  work.  Orchids 
and  good  valley  continue  scarce.  Lilies, 
both  Easter  and  auratum,  are  in  fair 
supply  and  bring  good  prices.  There 
is  a  good  supply  of  green.  Boston 
ferns  are  in  big  demand. 

Various  Notes. 

The  St.  Louis  Retail  Florists'  Asso- 
ciation held  its  regular  meeting  at  the 
Mission  Inn  Garden  August  20,  the 
attendance  being  small,  with  the  result 
that  there  was  little  business  trans- 
acted. President  Fred  H.  Weber  says 
that  those  who  attended  the  S.  A.  P. 
convention  at  New  York  will  be  asked 
to  report  at  the  next  meeting.  Among 
them  was  Richard  Tubesing,  secretary 
of  the  club. 

The  St.  Louis  County  Growers'  Asso- 
ciation will  hold  its  next  regular  meet- 
ing September  5  at  the  Eleven  Mile 
House.  President  Rowe  says  the  meet- 
ing will  be  interesting,  as  the  hail  and 
coal  committees  will  make  their  flnal 
reports,  which  are  important  to  the 
members. 

George  H.  Angermueller,  who  had 
been  ill  for  a  week,  has  recovered  and 
is  back  at  his  store. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  F.  C.  Weber,  Sr.,  and 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  F.  C.  Weber,  Jr.,  returned 
August  23  from  Williams  Bay,  Wis., 
where  they  had  been  spending  their 
vacations. 

Zorn  &  Gaertner,  of  Saginaw,  Mich., 
are  shipping  quantities  of  asters  to  the 
W.  C.  Smith  Wholesale  Floral  Co. 

The  show  house  of  Bergstermann, 
3117  South  Grand  avenue,  is  being 
stocked  with  decorative  plants.  The 
place  has  been  remodeled  and  treated 
to  a  coat  of  white  paint.  Oscar  Ruff 
and  Edward  Nibling  say  business  has 
been  good  during  August. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  J.  J.  Windier,  of 
Windier 's  Flowers,  have  returned  from 
two  weeks'  vacation  spent  at  the  Hill- 
crest  Club,  near  Crescent,  Mo.  Edward 
Guntly,  the  other  member  of  the  firm, 
will  now  take  a  vacation. 

Edward  Griffen,  superintendent  of 
parks  at  East  St.  Louis,  will  entertain 
the  park  superintendents  who  attend  on 
the  first  day  of  the  convention  here 
September  11  to  13. 

A  baby  girl  arrived  at  the  home  of

Members  of  the  trade  have  returned 
from  the  S.  A.  F.  convention  in  New 
York  city  last  week,  and  report  a  great 
convention.  The  local  trade  is  proud 
of  the  selection  of  Jules  Bourdet  as 
vice-president  of  the  society  and  are 
with  him  to  a  man  to  make  the  Na- 
tional Flower  Show  and  the  convention 
here  next  April  successes. 

The  H.  J.  Weber  &  Sons  Nursery

fall  season  is  good,  many  orders  already 
having  been  booked. 

The  A.  Brix  Floral  Co.'s  bowling 
team  was  organized  last  week  by  Frank 
Plots,  one  of  the  stars  at  the  game 
last  season.  The  team  will  bowl  at  the 
North  End  alleys. 

The  Young  Bros.  Floral  Co.  says  busi- 
ness has  been  good  at  the  new  store 
recently  opened  at  Berlin  and  De  Giver- 
ville  avenues, 

Andre  Bourdet  and  Eay  Young  left

gun  company. 

P.  Schneider  has  completed  the  altera- 
tions to  Ills  place  at  Webster  Groves, 
Mo.  The  houses  all  have  been  planted 
and  the  young  stock  is  looking  fine. 

A.  S.  Cerny's  establishment  at  Kirk- 
wood,  Mo.,  is  in  splendid  shape  for  n 
big  crop  of  roses  and  carnations  this 
season.  J.  J.  B. 


NEW  YORK. 


The  Market. 


Business  was  quiet  among  the  whole- 
sale houses  last  week,  and  at  the  clean- 
up August  25  buyers  could  procure  stock 
at  their  own  price.  Asters  and  gladioli 
were  so  abundant  that  much  of  the 
poorer  stock  could  not  be  moved.  Eoses 
are  improving  and  some  good  flowers 
now  are  arriving,  among  them  being 
Iladley  and  Eussell.  American  Beau- 
ties are  firm  at  $25  per  hundred,  a  few 
of  the  selected  flowers  being  as  high 
as  $30.  Anything  perfect  in  hybrid 
teas  was  quickly  absorbed.  Most  of 
the  rose  shipments,  however,  are  low- 
grade  stock,  which  sells  at  from  25 
cents  to  $2  per  hundred. 

There  were  few  orchids  of  any  vari- 
ety in  the  market.  Perfect  gigas  were 
so  scarce  that  from  $1.50  to  $2  each 
was  offered  for  them.  A  few  gardenias 
« ame  from  Newport,  E.  I.  There  are 
practically  no  carnations  coming  at 
present.  Lilies  are  abundant;  conse- 
quently the  prices  did  not  go  over  $3 
])er  hundred,  with  the  majority  selling 
at  $2.  Eubrums  sold  as  low  as  $1  per 
hundred. 

The  market  was  flooded  with  gladioli 
and  only  perfect  flowers  of  the  new 
varieties  could  be  moved.  The  waste 
was  enormous.  The  same  is  true  of 
asters.  A  few  select  flowers  of  both 
varieties  sold  as  high  as  $2  per  hun- 
dred. Valley  continues  scarce,  perfect 
flowers  bringing  $6  and  $8  per  hundred. 
The  supply  of  hydrangeas  is  increasing. 
Tritomas  and  tuberoses  are  abundant. 
There  were  also  large  shipments  of  out- 
side stock.

Convention  visitors  were  greatly  in- 
terested in  the  collection  of  pictures  at 
the  Traendly  &  Schenck  store,  436  Sixth 
avenue,  which  have  been  accumulated 
during  the   last  twenty-five   years. 

The  exhibits  of  Bobbink  &  Atkins,

ated on  August  20,  is  convalescing  and 
her  complete  and  speedy  recovery  is 
expected,  although  the  operation  was  a 
serious  one. 


When  Charles  Meehan  recently  sev- 
ered his  connection  with  what  then  was 
the  S.  S.  Pennock-Meehan  Co.,  of  Phila- 
delphia, his  friends  predicted  that  he 
would  not  be  long  out  of  the  trade. 
They  were  correct.  Now  it  is  an- 
nounced that  Mr.  Meehan  will  open  a 
wholesale  place  at  14  South  Mole 
street,  Philadelphia,  early  in  Septem- 
ber. 

Alexander  Montgomery,  whose  thirty- 
seven  years  of  rose  growing  in  the 
interests  of  the  Waban  Eose  Conserva- 
tories, at  Natick,  Mass.,  has  made  that 
establishment  the  Mecca  of  rose  grow- 
ers, has  resigned  his  position  as  super- 
intendent of  the  conservatories  in  order 
to  retire  to  Hadley,  Mass.,  where  his 
sons  operate  a  large  rose  range  under 
the  name  of  Montgomery  Eose  Co.  Eus- 
sell and  Hadley  were  originated  by  the 
Hadley  company. 

The  prick  of  a  rose  thorn  or  a  piece 
of  wire  in  the  second  finger  of  his  right 
hand  developed  into  blood  poisoning 
and  Thomas  Eeynolds,  757  Manhattan 
avenue,  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  was  forced  to 
go  to  a  hospital  and  have  the  finger 
amputated,  together  with  several  bones 
and  tendons  in  the  back  of  the  hand. 
The  injury  was  so  slight  whep.  ,  8,i^- 
tained  that  Mr.  Eeynolds  paid  no  at- 
tention to  it.  It  will ,  be  some  time 
before  he  is  able  to  return  to  the  active 
management  of  his  store. 


At  least  three  florists  are  going  to  be 
]>repared  for  the  influx  of  cash  sched- 
uled to  come  with  the  opening  of  the 
fail  season,  for  the  June  sales  report  of 
the  National  Cash  Eegister  Co.  shows 
that  in  that  month  registers  were  sold 
to  G.  E.  Valker,  of  Minot,  N.  D.;  Walter 
C.  Champreux,  of  Stockton,  Cal.,  and  E. 
A.  Fetters,  of  Detroit.  The  lowest  sell- 
ing price  was  $475  and  the  highest 
$785.  There  must  be  money  in  the  busi- 
ness. 

Autoists  in  the  trade,  especially  those 
who  delight  in  putting  their  foot  on  the 
accelerator,  should  tender  a  vote  of 
confidence  to  Charles  E.  Greening, 
liresident  of  the  Greening  Nursery  Co., 
Monroe,  Mich.  Mr.  Greening  is  the  lead- 
ing sjjirit  in  a  movement  to  establish 
a  road  between  Monroe  and  Toledo,  O., 
l>arallel  with  the  present  road  and  sepa- 
rated from  it  by  a  narrow  parking. 
The  speed  limit  on  the  new  road  is  to 
1)0  forty  miles  per  hour. 

Florists  in  all  parts  of  the  country 
have  been  liberal  in  their  cash  and 
stock  contributions  to  aid  A.  D.  King, 
of  Mattoon,  111.,  to  reestablish  liimself 
in  business.  The  King  greenhouse  range 
and  home  were  completely  destroyed  by 
the  tornado  of  May  26,  and  through  the 
efforts  of  J.  F.  Ammann,  secretary  of 
the  Illinois  State  Florists'  Association, 
the  cash  receipts  to  date  have  mounted 
to  $259,  in  addition  to  quantities  of 
stock.

RESULTS. 

We  give  them.    You  get  them. 

We  both  have  them. 

There  is  every  indication  of  a  scarcity 
of  pot  plants  during  the  approaching  sea- 
son. 

The  coal  men  are  beginning  to  choke  on 
the  smoke  from  the  fire  of  public  indig- 
nation their  price-raising  aroused. 

Don't  talk  about  raising  prices;  wake 
up  to  the  fact  that  the  public  is  paying 
more  for  flowers  than  heretofore  and  get 
your  share. 

Two  bulb-laden  steamers  of  the  Hol- 
land-America line  are  on  the  way 
across  the  Atlantic.  They  carry  nearly 
three-fourths  of  a  normal  year's  im- 
ports of  bulbs. 

The  trade  has  acquired  confidence  that 
business  will  be  good  during  the  autumn 
and  winter;  indeed,  the  New  York  conven- 
tion did  much  to  produce  a  belief  that 
the  flower  business  this  season  will  be 
better  than  ever  before. 

The  primulinus  hybrid  gladioli  occupy 
the  center  of  the  stage  in  the  east.  They 
have  made  a  hit  with  the  retailers,  who 
find  them  an  improvement  for  their  pur- 
poses because  of  their  grace  and  colors, 
and  the  growers  recommend  them  unqual- 
ifiedly for  forcing. 

The  growers  of  palms  have  needed  no 
other  encouragement  to  raise  prices  than 
that  afforded  by  supply  and  demand. 
There  are  few  palms  of  other  than  the 
emaller  sizes,  a  shortage  is  imminent  and 
prices  are  on  a  level  that  will  compare 
with  those  of  food  and  other  merchandise. 


If  you  have  the  idea  that  it  is  not  feas- 
ible for  florists  individually  to  raise  retail 
prices,  travel  a  week  in  the  east  and  note 
what  some  of  the  members  of  the  trade 
have  done. 

There  has  been  an  excellent  demand 

for   field-grown   carnation   plants   so    far 

this   season,  although   many   report   that 

the   call    did    not   start    until    somewhat 

.later  than  usual. 

The  influence  of  the  late  spring  still  is 
to  be  seen  in  many  branches  of  the  trade, 
particularly  in  the  supply  of  cut  flowers 
and  in  the  condition  of  the  crops  that 
follow  the  bedding  plants. 

It  is  pleasant  to  hear  a  cut  flower 
grower  like  Joseph  Heacock  say  that 
the  season  of  1916-17  was  the  largest  in 
money  returns  and  cash  profit  of  any 
since  he  went  into  rose  growing.  Evi- 
dently in  these  times  it  pays  better  than 
ever  to  grow  good  stock. 

Distinctiveness  is  one  of  the  prime 
requisites  of  a  new  variety  of  almost  any 
of  our  popular  flowers.  There  has  been 
much  improvement,  but  many  novelties 
among  carnations,  sweet  peas,  gladioli, 
peonies  and  other  flowers  are  too  much 
like  other  sorts  to  be  worth  another  name. 


and  anyone  who  has  ever  attended  the 
Harvard-Yale  or  army-navy  matches  is 
struck  by  the  fact  that  mums  are  to 
football  what  lilies  are  to  Easter. 


NO  AZAIJIAS  THIS  YEAR. 

The  principal  importers  of  azaleas 
have  abandoned  all  efforts  to  procure 
azaleas  from  Belgium  this  year.  It  is 
impossible  to  communicate  with  the  ex- 
J)orters  and  all  the  difficulties  expe- 
rienced last  season  still  exist,  in  addi- 
tion to  which  is  the  fact  that  the  Unit- 
ed States  now  has  a  stringent  law  on 
the  subject  of  trading  with  the  enemy 
which  is  held  to  apply  to  that  part  of 
Belgium  occupied  by  the  Germans.  Con- 
ditions change  almost  daily,  but  there 
seems  to  be  little  reason  to  hope  to  ob- 
tain azaleas  for  next  spring's  sales. 


FOOTBALL  AND  MXTMS. 

A  bit  of  news  of  cheering  character 
that  filtered  in  last  week  was  the  an- 
nouncement that  football  was  not  to  be 
struck  off  the  sports  calendar  of  the 
country's  colleges,  as  announced  in  the 
spring  shortly  after  the  declaration  of 
war,  but  that  at  the  behest  of  President 
Wilson  it  had  been  decided  to  have  a 
full  schedule  of  intercollegiate  games, 
both  east  and  west.  As  every  florist 
knows,  or  at  least  as  every  college  towTi 
florist  knows,  football  games  represent 
no  mean  outlet  for  chrysanthemums. 
Mums,  football  and  snappy  weather  are 
first  cousins,  and  richer  is  the  retailer 
who  realizes  their  relationship  and 
strives  to  strike  hard  while  the  iron  is 
hot. 

The  case  is  recalled  of  how  an  Illinois 
florist  last  year  made  a  study  of  the 
sales  possibilities  of  football  games  in 
his  town.  Whenever  there  was  a  game 
he  would  make  a  special  window  dis- 
play, featuring  in  mu^ui,  if  possible,  the 
colors  of  the  two  contesting  schools. 
The  idea  was  not  only  to  catch  the  eye 
of  home  fans,  but  also  to  attract  the  at- 
tention of  the  visiting  rooters.  Some- 
times a  special  stand  was  set  up  at  the 
football  field,  and  when  the  home  team 
left  for  an  out-of-town  game  there 
would  be  a  representative  at  the  depot 
to  coax  the  departing  fans  into  wearing 
^he  "colors,"  as  represented  by  his 
mfima;^ 

Penn's,  of  Boston,  have  found  the 
football    windmv    a   great   sales-maker, 


LINE  OF   LEAST   RESISTANCE. 

Your  product  is  mighty  interesting 
to  you,  but  other  florists  do  not  seem 
to  enthuse  about  it.  To  get  them  to 
give  up  real  money  for  it  is  not  so  easy 
as  it  looks. 

Providing  a  simple,  easy,  natural 
point  of  contact — the  line  of  least  re- 
sistance between  your  product  and  the 
buyer — 'is  the  function  of  The  Review. 
How  well  The  Review  serves  its  adver- 
tisers at  a  low  cost  is  told  by  the  ad- 
vertisers themselves: 

Cancel  my  classified  advertisement.  The  en- 
tire 7,000  carnation  plants  were  sold — some  re- 
sults for  one  insertion!  Thanks. — James  B.  Kel- 
ler,   Lexington,    Ky.,   August  23,   1917. 

Please  discontinue  my  ad  for  carnation  plants. 
The  Review  sure  is  a  business  getter. — A.  D. 
Kuble,  West  Indianapolis,  Ind.,  August  20,  1917. 

When  you  hear  a  man  complain  of  the 
cost  of  advertising  you  can  be  pretty 
certain  he  spends  a  good  bit  of  money 
elsewhere  than  in  The  Review. 


FLORISTS. 


When  a  plumber  makes  a  mistake  he 
charges  time  for  it. 

When  a  lawyer  makes  a  mistake,  it's 
just  what  he  wanted,  because  he  has  a 
chance  to  try  the  case  all  over  again. 

When  a  carpenter  makes  a  mistake, 
it's  just  what  he  expected,  because  the 
chances  are  ten  to  one  he  never  learned 
his  business. 

When  an  electrician  makes  a  mistake, 
he  blames  it  on  "induction,"  because 
nobody  knows  what  that  is. 

When  a  doctor  makes  a  mistake,  he 
buries  it. 

When  a  judge  makes  a  mistake,  it  be- 
comes the  law  of  the  land. 

When  a  preacher  makes  a  mistake, 
nobody  knows  the  difference. 

But  a  florist,  he  is  different.  He  can- 
not turn  his  mistake  into  profit,  as 
other  people  do.  He  must  use  good 
judgment;  much  labor;  feed  his  crops  as 
well  as  his  furnace;  supplicate  Provi- 
dence for  sun  and  hustle  all  the  time. 
In  fact,  my  boy,  you've  got  to  "go 
some"  to  be  a  successful  florist. 


CHICAaO. 

The  Market. 

The  recent  cool  weather  has  brought 
about  a  markedly  improved  tone  in 
the  wholesale  cut  flower  market. 
August  25  a  shortening  of  stock  of  all 
kiAds  took  place,  which,  continuing 
over  August  26,  found  the  market  in  a 
tight  condition  with  the  first  day  of 
this  week.  The  cool  weather  has  not 
only  caused  a  decided  shortening  of 
stock,  but  has  also  made  for  greatly 
improved  quality.  Roses  show  better 
color  and  more  of  the  longer  grades  are 
arriving. 

Although  American  Beauties  are  be- 
ing cut  in  slightly  larger  quantities, 
they  are  still  a  scarce  item  and  what 
stock  arrives  sells  quickly  at  satisfac- 
tory summer  prices.  Russells,  best  in 
demand  as  ever,  were  also  decidedly 
scarce  last  week  and  it  was  at  times 
difficult  to  procure  the  stock  needed. 
Ophelia  and  Milady  are  the  other  two 
favorites.  The  former  shows  greatly  im- 
proved color.  Although  most  of  the 
stoek-eoming  in-is  of  the  shorter  grades,

EASTER  LILIES 

You  will  find  our  Easter  Lilies  about  the  most  useful  stock 
you  can  carry.  Cut  tight,  they  are  good  shippers  and  keepers — 
you  can  carry  them  several  days  and  you  will  have  the  means  of 
making  a  spray  or  wreath  on  short  notice.  Fine  stock,  home- 
grown. We  can  fill  any  order  by  wire,  but  why  not  arrange  for 
two  shipments  a  week? 

QLADIOLI 

We  have  every  day  in  quantity  many  of  the  newest  varieties, 
including  Primulinus  Hybrids  and  many  of  Kunderd's  unnamed 
waved  seedlings — also  King,  America  and  other  old  favorites.  It 
is  our  belief  that  nowhere  in  America  is  there  so  fine  a  lot  of 
cut  Gladiolus  flowers.

a  good  increase  in  the  longer  stems  was 
noted  last  week. 

A  few  field  carnations  arrive  each 
day,  but  the  quality  is  not  good.  As- 
ters, though  shorter,  continue  to  arrive 
in  large  quantities.  The  late  varieties, 
which  show  greatly  improved  quality, 
are  now,  however,  replacing  the  earlier, 
cheaper  stock.  Good  grades  find  a  fair 
sale,  while  even  the  poor  quality  flowers 
move  more  readily. 

There  are  plenty  of  gladioli  and  the 
quality  here,  as  in  other  stock,  shows 
improvement.  America  and  Mrs.  King 
still  are  favorites,  but  there  are  many 
novelty  varieties,  arriving  only  in  lim- 
ited quantities,  which  find  ready  buyers. 
Orchids  continue  scarce,  as  does  valley. 
Easter  lilies  arrive  in  quantities  amply 
sufficient  to  meet  the  requirements  of 
an  active,  but  not  eager,  demand. 
There  are  ])lcnty  of  rubrum  lilies,  which 
sell  fairly  well  in  limited  quantities. 

Various  Notes. 

The  Hoskins  Floral  Co.,  which  has 
30,000  feet  of  glass  at  Elnihurst,  has 
been  reorganized.  David  J.  Hoskins 
has  retired  and  H.  W.  Grover,  a  job 
printer  at  3227  Armitage  avenue,  Chi- 
cago, has  been  elected  president.  Mr. 
Grover  is  not  a  florist  and  seeks  a 
working  manager.  The  company  was 
incorporated  in  1913,  with  $25,000  capi- 
tal stock.  It  purchased  the  old  Reid 
&  Chambers  range  at  Elmhurst  and 
added  considerably  to  it.  Tlie  houses 
are  planted  principally  to  carnations, 
mums  and  sweet  peas. 
'  The  Lombard  Floral  Co.,  of  which 
J.  G.  Schuman  is  manager,  cut  its  first 
flowers  August  27  and  Mr.  Schuman  per- 
sonallv  brought  them  to  the  E.  C.  Am- 
ling  Co..  with  which  he  has  arranged 
for  the  sale  of  the  output.  The  range 
consists  of  two  Moninger  houses,  each 
36x4.30,  planted  with  Killarney  Bril- 
liant, Milady  and  Ophelia,  principally 
the  latter.  Mrs.  Schuman  is  in  the 
West  Suburban  '  hospital  again.  She 
spent    seven    weeks    there,    then    went

pelled to  return  to  the  hospital  a  fort-

G.  M.  Rcburn  says,  |he  already  has 
sold  100,000  field-grown  carnation 
plants  this  season,  principally  on  mail 
orders  obtained  through  his  classified 
ad  in  The  Eeview.

He  has  worked  up  as  much  stock  as  he

will  be  no  mail  delivery  either  on  that 
day  or  on  the  day  preceding,  it  is  espe- 
cially advisable  that  out-of-town  buy-

days,  either  telegraph  or  affix  a  special

ties of  gladioli  are  arriving.  The  best 
flowers  sell  for  prices  ranging  from  $1 
to  $3  per  hundred. 

The  supply  of  roses  was  adequate  and 
included  some  good  varieties,  which 
brought  fair  prices.  Field  carnations 
continued  to  arrive.  Sweet  peas  were 
unusually  scarce.  Harrisii  lilies  were 
plentiful  and  brought  higher  prices. 
Snapdragons  were  gooa  and  sold  well. 
There  was  little  demand  for  gardenias 
and  orchids.  Pompon  chrysanthemums

the  flowers,  was  the  center  of  a  window

grower  where  the  flowers  are  cut,  graded  and  kept  chilled  until  the  customer  receives  them,  together 
with  prices  no  higher  than  others  charge,  make  our  stock  a  very  attractive  proposition.

Charles  Sharpe,  of  the  Eochester  Flo- 
ral Co.,  designed  an  unusual  window 
for  that  store  last  week.  Short-stemmed 
gladioli  were  massed  about  several 
pedestals,  atop  of  which  were  baskets 
of  the  same  flowers.  Artware  dishes 
and  vases  of  sweet  peas  were  arranged

The  Market. 

There  has  been  no  change  in  the  cut 
flower  market  during  the  last  few 
weeks,  although  the  supply  is  smaller. 
Good  gladioli  and  asters  are  moving, 
but  the  poorer  stock  is  not  in  demand 
in  a  dull  market.  Boses  are  in  fair 
demand,  at  fair  prices  for  the  better 
grades.  Russell,  Beauties,  Sunburst 
and  Ophelia  are  the  most  used  now. 
Valley  is  still  in  short  supply,  but  can 
be  had  on  timely  notice.  Easter  lilies 
are  holding  their  own.  White  cattleyas 
are  high  and  scarce.  Hydrangeas  are 
falling  in  the  rear.  There  is  no  exces- 
sive supply  of  greens. 

Various  Notes. 

Frank  R.  Hastings  reports  that  busi- 
ness at  his  store  during  the  last  week 
was  the  best  this  season. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Emil  H.  Gerschick 
visited  the  New  York  convention  last 
week. 

Charles  Henry  Fox  is  taking  advan-

had  been  called  to  the  colors,  but  on  the 
same  day  J.  J.  Perry,  of  the  S.  S.  Pen- 
nock  Co.,  told  me  that  hia  son.  Ward, 
had  enlisted  in  the  fifth  field  artillery,  now 
in  camp  at  I'ikesville,  and  expected  to 
be  ordered  to  the  same  training  camp 
any  day. 

Philip  Welsh  was  having  his  car  re- 
paired the  other  day.  After  it  was  fin- 
ished, the  repair  man  told  him  to  get 
in  and  he  would  give  it  a  tryout  on  a 
steep  hill  adjacent  to  the  shop.  Now, 
anyone  would  think  that  a  man  whose 
business  is  repairing  autos  would  be 
familiar  with  speed  laws,  but  it  appears 
this  particular  man  was  not,  for  they 
both  had  to  go  to  the  Northwestern 
police  station  and  explain  to  the  magis- 
trate. There  it  was  found  the  repair 
man  did  not  even  have  his  operator 's 
■card  with  him. 

A  Lucky  Florist. 

At  the  last  club  meeting  half  a  dozen 
of  the  boys  were  conversing  in  a  group 
about  the  coal  outlook  for  next  winter. 
One  of  them  told  a  story  of  a  man  in 
West  Virginia,  who  while  digging  his 
boiler  pit  found  fuel  for  use  the  next 
winter.  Peter  C.  Erdman  was  one  of 
the  group.  He  said  that  at  his  new 
range  on  Taylor  avenue,  while  he  had 
not  struck  coal,  he  had  found  the  next 
best  thing,  for  while  excavating  for  his

boiler  pit  lie  dug  into  a  bed  of  as  fine 
sand  as  was  ever  seen.  Good  sand  is  a 
scarce  article  in  this  locality,  but  then, 
Pete  always  was  lucky. 

Speaking  of  coal,  on  a  recent  trip  to 
the  R.  Vincent,  Jr.,  &  Sons  Co.  range, 
at  \vhite  Marsh,  Md.,  it  seemed  there 
was  coal  everywhere  one  looked.  Every 
bin  on  the  place  was  full,  besides  sev- 
eral carloads  that  were  piled  in  the  field. 
I  remarked  to  Mr.  Vincent  that  I  had 
heard  a  great  deal  about  the  coal  ques- 
tion lately,  but  that  he  did  not  seem  to 
be  short  of  coal.  He  said  he  could  not 
tell  whether  they  had  been  wise  in  lay- 
ing in  their  stock,  but  it  was  a  satis- 
faction to  know  that  no  matter  what 
the  outcome  might  be,  when  the  time 
came  to  start  the  fires  they  were  ready. 
I  asked  how  many  tons  there  were  in 
this  great  mass  of  coal.  He  said  he 
could  not  just  tell  me  in  tons,  but  the 
books  showed  there  was  $6,000  worth 
of  coal  to  begin  the  season  on.  When 
we  remember  there  is  no  forcing  done 
on  this  place,  this  is  "some"  coal. 

At  the  Leo  Niessen  Store. 

I  called  at  the  Leo  Niessen  Co.  store 
and  found  the  manager,  William  Mc- 
Kissick,  on  the  sick  list.  Nothing  se- 
rious, however,  as  they  expected  him  to 
be  off  only  for  the  day.  William  Ekas 
is  away  on  his  belated  vacation.  At  the 
store  it  was  reported  that  last  week  was 
the  first  reallv  dull  week  of  the  summer. 
Stock  is  abundant,  with  plenty  of  good 
short-stemmed  roses.  There  has  been 
considerable  trouble  in  getting  valley 
for  the  war  weddings,  but  as  the  store 
has  had  a  fine  lot  of  orchids,  in  many 
cases  these  were  used  instead. 

When  this  letter  reaches  its  readers, 
vacation  time  will  be  about  over  and 
florists  will  be  thinking  of  getting  down 
to  work  for  another  season.  I  have  been 
around  among  many  of  the  growers, 
also  tlie  retail  stores,  and  while,  at  the 
beginning  of  the  summer  season,  some 
of  the  boys  looked  upon  the  future  of 
the  busini'ss  with  doubt,  still  there  has 
been  an  unprecedented  season,  and  the 
growers  will  be  on  hand  when  the  bell 
rings  with  a  finer  line  of  stock  than 
ever.  To  start  with,  there  will  be  fall 
flowers  of  every  kind,  plentiful  and 
good.     Chrysanthemums,    especially,     are

E.  S.  Brown  &  Son  have  dismantled 
their  old  greenhouses  on  Prospect  ave-

too  much  shade  there.  They  report 
that  business  has  been  good  during  the 
summer. 

Arthur  Newell  is  having  a  conserva- 
tory built  at  his  home  on  Morningside 
drive.  It  will  have  a  large  fountain 
in  it. 

Adolph  Mohr's  greenhouses  at  Seven- 
ty-sixth street  and  Broadway  are  in 
shape  for  the  season,  his  begonias  and 
cyclamens  being  especially  good.

[Continued  from  page  20.] 
ery  business  in  this  country.  We  have 
the  climatic  conditions  and  soil  condi- 
tions necessary  to  grow  practically 
everything  belong  to  the  temperate 
zone,  and  many  of  the  products  of  the 
sub-tropics.  We  have  the  capital,  energy 
and  ability,  and  there  is  no  reason  why 
this  capital,  energy  and  ability  should 
not  be  employed  as  much  in  the  produc- 
tion and  manufacture  of  florists'  plants 
and  nursery  stock  as  in  the  development 
of  any  other  important  industry.  If 
other  industries  are  deserving  of  en- 
couragement in  the  way  of  protection, 
is  there  any  reason  why  the  plant  grow- 
ing industry  does  not  deserve  like  treat- 
ment? 

On  account  of  my  being  located  so 
far  away  from  the  other  members  of 
the  committee,  and  owing  to  the  great 
press  of  business  during  the  last  year, 
I  have  been  unable  to  communicate 
With  them,  or  to  pay  great  attention 
to  accumulating  the  necessary  knowl- 
edge to  enable  me  to  make  a  full  re- 
port. 

So  far  as  I  have  been  able  to  learn, 
there  have  been  some  substantial  efforts 
begun  to  grow  Dutch  bulbs  in  various 
parts  of  the  country.  It  is  said  that 
some  extensive  plantings  have  been 
made  in  the  state  of  Missouri.  Hol- 
landers have  come  to  this  country  and 
purchased  large  stocks  of  gladioli,  nota- 
bly in  Michigan  and  Ohio.  The  culti- 
vation of  Dutch  bulbs,  especially  the 
narcissus,  seems  to  be  considerably  on 
the  increase  in  the  Eoanoke  region  of 
Virginia,  in  the  vicinity  of  the  Dismal 
Swamp. 

Progress  in  California. 

On  the  Pacific  coast  there  does  not 
seem  to  have  been  any  great  effort  put 
forth  to  cultivate  nursery  and  florists' 
stocks,  except  those  of  the  Cottage  Gar- 
dens Nurseries  at  Eureka,  Gal.  The 
development  by  this  company  has  con- 
tinued apparently  with  restless  energy. 
At  the  present  time  there  is  under  con- 
struction    at     the     Eden     nursery     in

50  years'  experience  in  the  florist  business  guarantees 
efficiency  to  take  care  of  all  oraers.    20  per  cent  allowed. 

Eureka,  a  2-acre  block  of  iron-frame 
houses,  built  on  what  might  be  termed 
the  Belgian  plan.  These  houses  will 
be  finished  by  October,  and  will  be  im- 
mediately filled  with  such  stock  as 
araucarias,  gloxinias,  tuberous  begonias, 
ericas  and  others  used  in  the  florists' 
trade.  Photographs  of  the  new  im- 
provements under  construction  are  at- 
tached to  this  report. 

Another  improvement  of  importance 
is  the  fitting  of  the  entire  nursery  of 
sixty-six  acres  with  the  overhead  Skin- 
ner irrigation  system.  At  present 
there  are  about  ten  acres  fitted  with 
the  Skinner  system,  the  ground  under 
the  system  being  occupied  by  azaleas, 
rhododendrons,  ericas  and  other  like 
florists'  stock. 

Photographs  of  the  fields  of  azaleas 
and  rhododendrons  are  submitted  with 
this  report.  The  culture  of  Azalea 
Indica  is  proceeding  rapidly  and  suc- 
cessfully; at  the  present  time  there  are 
about  250,000  young  plants  in  stock. 
A  photograph  of  one  of  the  houses  filled 
with  young  plants  of  Azalea  coccinea, 
which  have  been  grown  from  cuttings 
and  are  about  ready  for  grafting,  is 
submitted  with  the  report. 

The  grafting  of  Azalea  Indica  is  con- 
tinued without  interruption  and  grafts 
have  been  set  upon  a  large  quantity  of 
plants.  Grafting  under  the  conditions 
existing  at  Eureka  is  preeminently  suc- 
cessful and  only  a  small  percentage  of

the  grafts  fail  to  set.  This  is  true  of 
grafting  azaleas,  rhododendrons,  or  any 
of  the  coniferous  plants. 

The  budding  of  rhododendrons  and 
azaleas  has  been  demonstrated  by  the 
present  season's  treatment  to  be  easily 
accomplished.  There  is  an  abundant  set 
of  buds  of  great  size  and  vigor.  The 
growth  of  the  rhododendrons  and  aza- 
leas during  the  present  season  has  been 
all  that  could  be  desired.  The  same  is 
true  of  everything  else  tliat  has  been 
grown  in  the  nursery.  The  holly  berries 
up  wonderfully  well,  and  all  kinds  of 
l)erried  plants  set  enormous  crops.  This 
is  particularly  noticeable  in  the  coton- 
easter  family. 

In  order  to  i)rovide  for  a  permanenf 
increase  in  the  production  of  azaleas 
and  rhododendrons,  there  will  be  built 
another  range  of  approximately  three 
acres  of  glass  during  the  season  of  1918. 

The  production  of  ericas,  boxwood, 
liollies  and  coniferous  plants  is  being 
pushed  steadily,  and  a  number  of  new 
plants  are  being  grown  which  have  been 
derived  from  Australia,  New  Zealand 
and  the  western  coast  of  South  Amer- 
ica, and  in  all  probability  this  company 
will  send  out  some  substantial  additions 
to  the  trade 's  supply  of  plants. 

In  the  bulb  district  substantial  ex- 
periments in  testing  the  commercial 
growing  of  Lilium  longiflorum  are  being 
carried  out.  A  photograph  enclosed 
herewith  shows  one  of  the  experimental 
blocks  of  the  Harrisii  variety,  which 
is  being  tested  under  my  personal  super- 
vision at  the  Cottage  Gardens  proving

being  made  of  other  varieties  of  lilies 
at  the  New  Haarlem  Bulb  Farm. 

10,000,000  Bulbs  Growing. 

At  the  New  Haarlem  Bulb  Farm  the 
work  of  establishing  the  commercial 
jiroduction  of  Dutch  bulbs  is  progress- 
ing rapidly.  An  extensive  bulb  house, 
.■)0x260  feet,  is  under  construction  and 
will  be  finished  this  month.  About  100 
acres  of  additional  land  are  being  pre- 
pared for  bulb  culture;  this  will  be  fol- 
lowed by  the  preparation  of  100  acres 
more  the  following  year.  At  present 
there  are  about  eighty  acres  of  land  in 
condition  for  planting  bulbs  this  fall. 
The  entire  crop  of  bulbs  for  this  season 
has  been  harvested,  and  while  the  sea- 
son has  not  been  favorable  and  in  some 
instances  the  bulbs  are  not  of  normal 
size,  the  crop  on  the  whole  has  j>roven 
entirely  satisfactory,  and  in  the  major- 
ity of  cases  the  bulbs  are  of  exception- 
ally fine  quality.  This  is  particularly 
true  of  the  hyacinths,  which  turned  out 
of  much  better  quality  than  was  hoped 
for.  The  narcissi,  crocuses  and  gladioli 
are  all  of  exceptionally  good  size  and 
splendid  quality.  Large  quantities  of 
bulbs  have  been  contracted  for  delivery 
from  Holland.  These  contracts  cover 
approximately  5,000,000  bulbs,  and  the 
quantity  harvested  at  the  New  Haarlem 
Bulb  Farm  will  be  approximatelv  4,000,- 
000  to  4,500,000;  the  plantings' for  the 
coming  fall  will  run  somewhere  between 
9,000,000  and  10,000,000  bulbs. 

In  order  to  make  sure  of  a  full  supply 
of  cow  manure,  which  is  necessary  for 
the  growth  of  the  hyacinths  and  other 
bulbs,  the  management  has  established 
what  is  known  as  the  Cottage  Gardens

E.  G.   REIMER8    &   SON    CO. 

Established  1880.  Incorporated  1918 

Jersey  Farm  at  Carlotta,  Cal.,  where 
there  is  maintained  a  herd  of  150  pure- 
bred Jerseys,  for  the  purpose,  primarily, 
of  supplying  manure,  but  as  dairying  in 
Humboldt  county  is  highly  profitable, 
the  manure  from  this  Jersey  farm  will 
be  considered  practically  a  by-product. 
Additional  dairies  will  be  established 
in  the  vicinity  of  the  New  Haarlem 
Bulb  Farms. 

Thus  far  all  of  the  plants  which  the 
management  has  determined  to  grow  in 
large  quantities  commercially  have 
been  grown  a  sufficient  length  of  time 
to  amply  demonstrate  the  fact  that  the 
plants  can  be  produced  of  superior  qual- 
ity, and  where  buds,  flowers  or  berries 
are  necessary  they  will  be  produced  in 
abundance. 


BOSTON. 

The  Market. 

Business  continues  quiet  and  there 
is  considerable  difficulty  experienced  in 
disposing  of  what  flowers  arrive.  Gla- 
dioli are  in  the  worst  position  and  sell 
at  low  prices.  If  growers  would  cut 
stock  with  not  more  than  one  or  two 
flowers  open,  the  blooms  would  sell 
much  better,  but  a  large  proportion  of 
those  arriving  have  six  to  eight  flowers 
open,  and  many  are  faded  flowers.  Such 
stoch  as  this  is  hardly  worth  sending 
to  market. 

Asters  are  realizing  fair  prices.  The 
best  make  $2  to  $2.50  per  hundred  and 
the  poorer  grades  50  cents  to  $1  per 
hundred.  The  niidseason  sorts  are  now 
arriving.  Lilies  have  been  enjoying 
a  mild  boom  and  have  been  cleaning  up 
decidedly  better.  White  roses  sell  re- 
markably well,  and  for  other  colors  the 
demand  is  fairly  good.  Ophelia,  Double 
White  Killarney,  Stanley,  Mrs.  Hearst, 
Kaiserin  and  Miller  are  good. 

A  few  of  the  new-crop  carnations  are 
straggling  in.  They  are  small  and 
short-stemmed,  and  no  one  wants  them. 
White  asters  are  abundant  and  good. 
Valley  is  scarce.  Cattloyas  are  hardly 
purchasable  at  all.  Bouvardia  in  sev- 
eral colors  is  obtainable,  and  B.  Hum- 
boldtii  is  realizing  fair  prices.  Sal- 
piglossis  and  cosmos  are  each  fairly 
abundant,  l)ut  the  call  for  them  is  spas- 
modic. Asparagus  sells  onlv  inoderately 
well. 

Various  Notes. 

W.  E.  Woodward  &  Son,  of  Saxon- 
villo,  arc  sending  more  than  twenty  five 
named  varieties  of  gladioli  to  the 
wholesale  market  at  present.  Some  of 
their  best  varieties  are  La  Prophetesse, 
Glorv,  Spring  Song,  Pasha,  Jessie, 
Glory  of  Holland,  Mrs.  F.  Pendleton, 
Pride  of  Goshen,  George  Paul  and  Pan-

Hail  storms  have  been  more  frequent 
and  destructive  in  Massachusetts  this 
summer  than  usual.  August  21  a  severe 
storm  broke  considerable  glass  and  dam- 
aged outdoor  stock  badly.  Lively  & 
Bond,  of  Holbrook,  lost  a  good  deal  of 
glass.  Peter  Pederzini,  who  started  in 
business  this  spring  at  Medford,  had 
many  breakages  in  his  nevp  house.  At 
Faulkner  Farm,  Brookline,  the  orchid 
and  stove  houses  were  badly  broken. 
Glass  was  also  broken  at  the  E.  &  J. 
Farcjuhar  &  Co.  houses  at  Dedham. 
These  are  only  some  of  the  sufferers. 

The  Budlong  Rose  Co.  reports  a 
strong  call  for  white  roses.  It  sells 
an  average  of  1,800  Double  White  Kil- 
larneys  daily.  Mrs.  W.  R.  Hearst, 
Prima  Donna,  Ophelia  and  the  com- 
])any's  Sunburst  sport  are  all  specially 
fine. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Andrew  Christensen,  of 
Stoneham,  left  this  week  for  a  vacation 
to  be  spent  principally  in  Maine.  They 
will  visit  Bangor  and  Bar  Harbor, 
among  other  places.  Mr.  Christensen 
has  all  his  carnations  lioused,  some 
40,000  in  number. 

The  show  of  cliildron's  gardens'  ex- 
hibits at  Horticultural  hall  September 
1  and  2  will  easily  break  all  records. 
New  England  shows  an  increase  of 
more  than  ST.l  per  cent  in  gardens  over 
1016,  and  the  children  have  aided  ma- 
terially in  this  increase.  The  annual 
dahlia  and  fruit  exhibition  will  be  held 
September  8  and  9. 

C'Corge  Shields,  formerly  with  A. 
Leutliy  &  Co.,  is  now  greenhouse  fore- 
?nan  for  R.  &  J.  Farquhar  &  Co.,  at 
Dedham.  E.  J.  Schriver,  lately  with 
Farcpihar's,  now  is  with  the  Arnold  &: 
Fisher  Co.,  "Woburn. 

John  W.  Foote,  of  Reading,  is  already 
sending  in  some  of  the  new-crop  car- 
nations, such  as  Matcliless  and  Enchant- 
ress Supreme.  He  is  cutting  a  fine  lot 
of  bouvardia  in  three  colors.  The 
white  Ilumboldtii  is  in  strong  demand 
for  wedding  bouquets. 

John  Nelson  &  Son,  of  Framingham, 
have  had  all  their  carnations,  40,000 
of  them,  bedded  for  some  time,  and  a 
fine  looking  lot  they  are.  It  would  be 
difficult  to  find  a  duplicate  for  the 
Matchless  seen  there.  Some  wonderful 
plants  of  this  variety  were  noted  in  the 
field.

Since  August  9  we  have  rei'ordefl 
nearly  eight  inches  of  rain,  which  es- 
tablishes almost  a  record  for  this  month. 
As  a  consequence  vegetables  have  made 
a  most  luxuriant  growth,  and  crops 
which  seemed  a  few  weeks  ago  almost 
hoj>eless  are  now  well  up  to  the  aver- 
age. 

In  one  of  the  windows  of  tlie  llough- 
ton-Gorney  Co.,  on  Tremont  street,  I 
noted  a  pretty  arrangement  of  Chrys- 
antliemum  Golden  Glow  and  Liatris 
liycnostachya.  Nyiiipha^as,  sali)iglossis 
and  lilies  were  other  flowers  used  in 
the   same  window. 

Those  who  attended  the  New  York 
convention  from  here  appear  to  have 
enjoyed  themselves  in  spite  of  the  hot 
and  higlily  humid  atmospheric  condi- 
tions existing. 

M.  Eosenthal,  of  tlie  Boston  Cut 
Flower  Co.,  says  that  while  business 
during  the  present  summer  has  not 
been  brisk,  something  has  been  doing 
all  the  time,  and  in  volume  it  has  been 
fully  equal  to  that  of  a  year  ago. 

Among  the  callers  last  week  were  T. 
E.  Waters,  at  one  time  with  Suther- 
land, of  Boston,  and  now  with  the 
Poehlmann  Bros.  Co.,  Chicago,  and  C. 
S.  Strout,  of  Biddeford,  Me.  Mr.  Strout 
says  he  would  have  enjoyed  the  con- 
vention at  New  York  more  if  the 
weather  had  not  been  so  hot. 

The  meetings  of  the  Gardeners'  and 
Florists'  Club  will  be  resumed  Septem- 
l)er  18,  when  William  II.  Elliott  will 
speak  on  a  recent  trip  to  California.

The  Market. 

Another  dull  week  has  passed,  al- 
though the  cooler  weather  August  24 
and  25  seemed  to  better  business  and 
improve  market  conditions. 

American  Beauties  are  plentiful  and 
in  good  demand.  Russell  roses  are  to 
be  had,  but  continue  small  and  poor  in 
quality.  Others  on  the  list  are  choice 
short  and  medium  Sunburst,  Shawyer, 
Killaruey  and  whites.  Red  roses  arc 
poor,   arriving   full-blown. 

The  sale  of  valley  and  orchids  is 
steady,  thanks  to  the  continuous  run  of 
wedding  work.  Asters  and  gladioli  are 
iu  excessive  supply,  and  there  is  not 
much  funeral  work  to  relieve  the  sit- 
uation. Yellow  mums  have  made  their 
appearance,  and  together  with  tritniiia, 
or  red-hot  poker,  make  attractive  win- 
dow displays.

The  news  that  the  1919  convention 
of  the  S.  A.  F.  will  be  held  in  Detroit 
caused  surprise  and  delight.  It  is  hoped 
that  S.  A.  F.  members  will  not  regret

The  Market. 

There  is  a  marked  scarcity  of  roses 
in  this  market,  particularly  the  white 
varieties,  with  no  immediate  relief  in 
sight.  What  with  the  shortage  ot 
white  roses  and  valley,  it  is  extremely 
difficult  to  take  proper  care  of  wedding 
orders.  Asters  are  in  good  supply, 
likewise  gladioli,  the  better  grades  of 
which  find  a  ready  market.  Flowers  in 
the  blue  shades  are  much  sought  and 
are  not  easily  obtained.  Orchids  and 
gardenias  arrive  in  limited  quantities, 
the  former  selling  at  from  75  cents  to 
$1  each.

CEDAR  rapids;  IA; 

In  the  retail  way  the  last  week  has 
been  an  uneventful  one.  With  few 
exceptions  purchases  have  been  light 
and  mostly  confined  to  staple  flowers. 
Gladioli,  Jap  lilies  and  ferns  are  play- 
ing a  large  part  in  the  window  displays. 

John  "Motor"   Kirchner. 

"One  of  the  chief  factors  in  the  suc- 
cess of  my  business,"  says  John  Kirch- 
ner,  "has  been  the  early  and  continued 
use  of  auto  delivery  trucks."  And  as 
proof  of  his  emphatic  belief  in  this 
statement,  it  might  be  remarked  that 
Mr.  Kirchner  has  the  sum  of  $20,000 
invested  in  them.  While  the  majority 
of  florists  have  auto  trucks  for  rapid 
and  efficient  delivery  and  transportation 
of  stock,  many  still  cling  to  obsolete 
methods  of  conducting  this  important 
part  of  the  business,  denoting  that  they 
have  not  awakened  to  the  great  advan- 
tages of  the  modern  method  of  per- 
forming this  work. 

Various  Notes. 

Miss  Elvira  Schmidt  has  returned, 
after  a  pleasant  two  weeks'  vacation, 
to  her  duties  at  the  Gasser  wholesale 
store. 

Charles  Eussell,  of  the  Jones-Russell 
Co.,  made  a  trip  to  Henderson,  Ky.,

funeral  orders,  for  which  a  large  quan- 
tity of  stock  was  forwarded  from  the 
wholesale  market. 

Sam  Seligman,  fresh  from  the  New 
York  convention,  is  calling  upon  his 
firm's  patrons  here  this  week.  Paul 
Berkowitz,  of  Bayersdorf er 's,  is  also 
numbered   among  the   visitors. 

The  F.  T.  D.  window  at  the  Gasser 
retail  store  is  attracting  much  attention 
from  the  public.  A  novel  feature  is  an 
electric  aeroplane  which  makes  its 
flights  over  a  finely  turned  expanse  of 
mountainous  country.  A  certain  rib- 
bon salesman,  who  has  done  much  of 
late  in  stimulating  the  attention  of  De- 
troit florists  to  the  potentialities  of  this 
type  of  advertising,  expressed  himself 
as  delighted  with  this  masterly  dis- 
play. 

Wm.  F.  Metzmaier,  of  Columbus,  O., 
made  a  pleasant  call  upon  friends  in 
the  trade,  while  returning  from  a  va- 
cation spent,  in  company  with  Mrs. 
Metzmaier,  in  Detroit  and  Toledo. 

The  monthly  meeting  of  the  Florists' 
Club  falling  upon  Labor  day,  the  same 
has  been  postponed  to  the  following 
Monday  night,  September  10. 

The  Friedley  Co.tM||nh  exceptionally

IT   IS   FALSE    DRAGONHEAD. 

Will  you  kindly  tell  mo  wliat  the  en- 
closed plant  isf  It  was  purcliased  from 
a  reliable  grower  last  spring  as  Shasta 
daisy  Alaska.     Is  it  hardv? 

W.  A.  G.— Neb. 


It  is  Physostegia  virginiana,  common- 
ly called  false  dragonhead;  a  good 
hardy  herbaceous  perennial,  of  easy  cul- 
ture and  well  adapted  for  cutting.

Bellefontaine,  O. — Stelzig's  Flower 
iStjoro  had  a  novel  window  decoration  in 
honor  of  the  school  teachers  attending 
a  teacher's  institute  recently.  It 
showed  a  school  room,  flowers,  of  course, 
being  prominent.

The  Florists^  Review 


August  30,  1917. 


Seed  Trade  News 

AXESIOAN  BZED  TBASE  A8S00IATZ0K. 
President,  F.  W.  Bolglano,  WaBhlngton,  D.  0.; 
Secretary-Treasurer,  C.  H.  Kendel.  CleYeland,  O. 

A.  H.  Smith,  of  the  Leonard  Seed  Co., 
Chicago,  is  on  a  brief  trip  to  California. 

The  onion  set  crop  in  the  Chicago  dis- 
trict has  been  liarvested  in  good  condi- 
tion. 

Ralph  M.  Ward  is  in  Japan,  having 
recently  returned  there  after  a  trip  to 
China. 

Peas  will  undoubtedly  be  short  this 
year.  Present  estimates  are  placed  at 
about  fifty  per  cent  of  a  crop.  Hot  winds 
are  said  to  have  done  considerable  dam- 
age. 

The  proceedings  of  the  thirty-fifth  an- 
nual convention  of  the  American  Seed 
Trade  Association  at  Detroit,  Mich.,  June 
19  to  21,  have  been  published  in  book 
form. 

Reports  from  Michigan  indicate  that 
the  crop  of  garden  beans  wiU  not  be  large 
this  year.  Although  the  crop  is  good  in 
some  districts,  in  others  cutworms  and  dry 
weather  have  brought  about  much  destruc- 
tion. 

The  E.  G.  Lewis  Seed  Co.,  of  Media, 
111.,  recently  was  incorporated  with  a 
capital  stock  of  $30,000.  The  incorpora- 
tors were  Edgar  C.  Lewis,  Samuel  N. 
Mathers,  James  J.  Mathers  and  R.  Pen- 
darvis. 

The  officers  of  the  Rudy-Patrick  Seed 
Co.,  Kansas  City,  since  the  death  of  Frank 
Rudy,  are  as  follows:  President,  Howard 
S.  Patrick;  vice-presidents,  Roy  A.  Ed- 
wards and  Ross  M.  Eldridge;  secretary, 
John  W.  Miller:  assistant  secretary,  Fred 
A.  Starry  J  treasurer,  Wilbur  E,  Hoover. 

Charles  J.  Bolgiano,  of  J.  Bolgiano 
&  Son,  Baltimore,  Md.,  has  returned  from 
a  short  stay  at  his  summer  home  in  the 
Allegheny  mountains.  Morris  B.  Robin- 
son, manager  of  the  firm's  retail  store,  is 
at  Mr.  Bolgiano 's  mountain  home  recov- 
ering his  strength  after  a  serious  illness 
with  typhoid  fever.  Rozell  Bowen,  west- 
ern representative  of  the  firm,  was  in  Chi- 
cago for  two  weeks  the  first  part  of 
August. 

The  meeting  of  seedsmen  at  the  Hotel 
Gordon,  Washington,  D.  C,  August  21, 
which  was  called  by  Food  Administrator 
Hoover,  proved  to  be  mainly  for  the  pur- 
pose of  helping  the  government  secure  in- 
formation as  to  the  supply  of  seed  which 
would  be  available  for  the  next  year.  The 
situation,  as  pertaining  to  the  canning 
industry,  was  discussed  and  plans  were 
laid  to  endeavor  to  get  a  proper  distribu- 
tion of  stock  so  that  all  the  canning  fac- 
tories will  be  supplied. 

"The  notes  that  have  appeared  in 
print  in  regard  to  the  prospects  of  the 
seed  harvest  in  America,  and  also  in 
France,  would  seem  to  indicate  that  early 
activity  is  advisable  in  order  to  make 
sure  of  adequate  stock  for  next  season," 
says  a  writer  in  an  English  trade  paper. 
"I  have  not  come  across  any  printed 
statement  in  regard  to  British  seed  crops, 
but  so  far  as  my  travels  enable  me  to 
judge  I  am  inclined  to  think  we  shall 
produce  more  seed  than  usual  and  a  good 
many  subjects  that  we  have  hitherto  been 
content  to  leave  to  other  countries  are  be- 
ing grown  in  fairly  good  quantities."

DUTCH  BULB  INSURANCE. 

The  continental  insurance  companies 
have  notified  Holland  exporters  of  bulbs 
and  plants  that  they  have  canceled  the 
so-called  "all  risk"  clause  in  their  poli- 
cies. This  clause  protected  shipments 
of  bulbs  and  plants  against  damage 
from  heating,  etc.,  when  in  transit. 

The  Dutch  Bulb  Exporters'  Associa- 
tion, however,  has  made  arrangements 
with  the  steamship  companies  with  re- 
gard to  proper  ventilation  in  the  holds 
of  the  steamships,  and  it  is  now  almost 
impossible  for  the  bulbs,  even  if  the 
cargo  consists  entirely  of  bulbs,  to  heat 
in  transportation  so  as  to  make  them 
worthless  for  forcing  or  planting. 


DUTCH  BUIjBS  on  THE   WAY. 

August  27  the  Holland-America  line 
advised  certain  large  importers  that

The  Florists^  Review 


August  30,  1917. 


dam  August  25,  with  about  12,000  cases 
of  bulbs  in  its  cargo. 

August  20  the  same  source  of  in- 
foiuiation  gave  news  of  the  sailing  of 
a  boat  August  18,  with  a  cargo  almost 
exclusively  of  bulbs. 

Consequently,  it  may  be  taken  as 
fairly  well  assured  that  the  trade  will 
receive  more  than  half  the  quantity 
that  came  in  last  year  and  about  three- 
fourths  any  previous  season's  imports. 
There  are  reports  that  these  two  boats 
are  the  only  ones  that  will  bring  bulbs 
this  season,  but  there  seems  reason  to 
doubt  if  there  is  any  foundation  for 
such  a  story. 

FREIGHT    SITUATION    ALARMING. 

Tliose  who  have  large  interests  in 
Japanese  lily  bulbs  are  on  the  anxious 
seat  because  of  the  freight  situation. 
It  has  been  known  for  months  that 
there  was  likely  to  l)e  a  shortage  of 
space  in  the  boats  from  Japan,  but 
nothing  like  the  present  situation  had 
been  anticipated.  Rates  have  gone  up 
from  $25  to  $75  per  ton.  There  is  so 
mucli  demand  for  space  that  the  boats 
cannot  accommodate  everyone  and  the 
lily  importers  are  alarmed.  It  is  expect- 
ed tliat  at  least  a  portion  of  the  quan- 
tities engaged  will  get  across,  but  that 
arrival  will  be  much  later  than  usual. 
Formosa  lilies  are  afloat,  but  are  con- 
siderably overdue.  If  giganteums  arrive 
in  good  condition  they  will  be  all  right 
for  Kaster  if  they  can  be  planted  dur- 
ing the   Christmas   holidays. 


SEED  SURPLUS  AND  SHORTAGE. 

The  committee  on  seed  stocks  of  the 
Department  of  Agriculture  is  endeavor- 
ing to  assist  in  supplying  information  as 
to  where  seeds  may  be  obtained.  To 
this  end  it  is  announce<l  that  the  com- 
mittee will  appreciate  information  from 
anyone  who  has  seed  to  offer.  The  in- 
formation should  contain  the  name,  kind 
and  variety,  and  aj)proximately  the 
quantity  of  seed  offered,  as  well  as  the 
price  asked.  The  committee  purposes 
to  file  all  such  information  and  to  use 
it  in  answering  inquiries  that  may  be 
received  from  various  parts  of  the  coun- 
try. All  such  communications  should  be 
addressed  to  R.  A.  Oakley,  chairman, 
committe  on  seed  stocks,  United  States 
Department  of  Agriculture,  Washing- 
ton, D.  C.

GIANT  KENILWORTH  STRAIN.  The  flowers  are  of  perfect  form 
and  substance;  many  of  the  Immense  flowers  are  from  3V4-  to  4-in. 
It  is  a  striking  collection  of  beautiful  colors  and  markinps,  rich 
with  shades  of  red,  brown,  bronze,  mahogany  and  many  others  too 
numerous    to   mention.      LlRht.    Medium    or    Dark    Mixtures. 

GIANT  KENILWORTH  SHOW.  An  extra  fine  strain  of  large  flowers: 
the  Immense  flowers  are  of  circular  form  and  great  substance.  A 
beautiful  collection  of  colors  and  markings. 

GIANT  KENILWORTH  CUT  FLOWER  MIXTURE.  Is  a  distmci  class 
by  itself,  surpassing  all  other  strains  as  a  cut  flower  for  inside  or 
outside  growing;  the  large  flowers  are  carried  erect  above  the 
foliage  on  heavy  stems,  7  or  8  in.  long,  in  the  most  graceful  man- 
ner, and  stand  the  hot,  dry  weather  well. 

GIANT  MASTERPIECE.  A  remarkable  type:  the  curled,  wavy  petals 
giving  the  flower  a  double  appearance:  large  flowers  of  great  sub- 
stance,  on    long,   strong  stem. 

GIANT  THREE  AND  FIVE  BLOTCHED  PANSIES.  A  superb  mix- 
ture. Flowers  large  and  of  circular  form  and  of  great  substance. 
The  display  of  coloring  is  unsurpassed.  A  combination  of  almost 
every  shade  of  rich,  velvety  colors:  reds  are  particularly  conspicu- 
ous: the  petals  being  distinctly  marked  with  three  or  five  large, 
dark  blotches. 

GIANT  PARISIAN.  The  flowers  are  of  enormous  size  and  beautifully 
marked,  mostly  five  dark  blotches  on  white  and  yellow  ground;  an 
unusually  showy  mixture. 

GIANT  BRONZE.  A  fine  mixture  of  all  shades  of  velvety  brown, 
bronze,   Havana  brown,   mahogany   and  copper  shades. 

TRIUMPH  OF  GIANT.  Remarkably  befiutiful.  The  impo.sing  five- 
spotted  flowers  on  long,  vigorous  stalks  surmount  the  foliage  in  the 
most  graceful  manner,  are  of  enormous  size,  perfectly  round  and 
of  unusual  substance.  The  individual  petals  are  very  broad  and 
cover  each  other  in  such  a  manner  as  to  make  the  flowers  appear 
almost  double,  the  border  of  every  petal  being  conspicuouslv  curled. 
The  plants  are  of  a  robust  growth  and  form  compact  bushes  of  a 
round   shape. 


10.  KENILWORTH  GIANT  EXHIBITION  is  the  very  finest  complete  mixture  ever 
sent  out.  Seed  carefully  saved  only  from  marked  plants  of  the  best  Tarietles,  with  the 
largest  and  best  shaped  flowers  and  richest  cblorlnar.  It  Is  Impossible  to  convey 
an  adequate  Idea  of  the  delightful  variations  in  color  and  markings  of  this  un- 
rivaled mixture.  500  seeds  30c,  1000  seeds  eOc,  %.  oz.  $1.35,  M  oz.  $2.50.  oz. 
$10.00. 

New  Early-flowering,  or  Winter  Blooming 

An  entirely  new  and  distinct  strain  of  Pansles  The  main  advantage  of  these 
new  Pansles  over  all  hitherto  existing  Pansles  is  the  extreme  earliness  of  Howerlng. 
Sown  at  the  same  time  as  other  Pansles,  they  begin  flowering  the  early  part  of  March 
or  as  soon  as  the  snow  Is  off  the  ground,  many  times  having  four  or  five  large  flowers 
to  a  plant,  when  all  other  Pansles  are  only  showing  buds.  The  flowers  are  large,  well 
formed  and  fragrant. 


17.  CHARM   OF  MARCH.      Dark    velvety 

blue. 

18.  MIXED.     The  above  four  colors  with 

other  shades  and  variations. 


14.  WINTER  SUN.     Golden   yellow   with 

dark  eye. 

15.  ICE  KING.     Silvery  white,  with  dark 

eye. 

16.  CELESTIAL    QUEEN.      Light  or   sky

500  seeds  25c,  1000  seeds  40c,  V6  oz.  $1.10,   \i,  oz.  $2.00,  oz.  $7.50. 

20.  PRINCESS.  (The  New  Upright  Pansy.)  This  strain  is  entirely  distinct  from  all 
others.  It  Is  absolutely  compact,  upright  growing.  The  flowers  are  mostly 
blotched  and  frilled  like  the  Masterpiece,  of  good  form  and  heavy  velvety  tex- 
ture on  heavy  stem  carried  well  above  the  foliage.  Attractive  by  brilliancy 
of  its  colors. 

40.  GIANT  BATH'S  EMPRESS.  The  finest  of  fancy  English  Pansles.  Flowers  are 
very  large,  mostly  frilled  and  blotched  and  of  great  substance  and  the  colors 
are   brilliant   and   varied. 


70.  ORCHID-FLOWERED.  Mixed.  A  dwarf, 
free  bloomer,  with  a  range  of  delicate 
colors  that  do  not  exist  in  any  other 
Pansles;  a  remarkable  combination  of 
light  rose,  shell  pink,  blush  mauve, 
fawn,  light  brown,  orange  and  chamois.

The  Florists^  Review 


August  30,  1917. 


S 


BBIDGEPOBT,  CONN. 

The  growers  have  completed  the  hous- 
ing of  their  carnations,  and  in  most 
cases  the  plants  are  the  best  ever. 
Mums  are  coming  along  finely  and  in 
some  instances  the  buds  are  showing 
color.  The  dry  spell  from  which  Bridge- 
port has  been  suffering  fortunately  has 
been  broken;  good  showers  saved  what 
outdoor  stock  was  left.  Were  it  not  for 
funeral  work,  business  in  general  would 
be  rather  dull,  there  being  little  demand 
for  cut  flowers. 

Kecently  the  Florists'  Club  enjoyed 
its  first  outing  in  the  form  of  a  sheep 
roast  on  the  grounds  of  Fred  Kolb.  Mr. 
Kolb  had  charge  of  the  roasting,  and 
everyone  present  voted  the  lamb  cooked 
to  the  king's  taste.  Games  and  races 
were  indulged  in  and,  the  day  being 
an  ideal  one,  they  were  enjoyed  by  all. 

James  Horan  &  Son  have  their  car- 
nations housed,  and  the  men  expect  to 
cut  mums  soon. 

The  Park  Gardens  are  offering  fine 
asters.  Trade  in  general  is  good  for 
this  time  of  year. 

Robert  Hawkins  recently  designed  a 
broken  column  five  feet  in  height  that 
was  made  of  White  Killarney  and  Kil- 
larney  roses.  He  is  installing  a  new 
icebox  in  his  Main  street  store. 

Fred  Kolb  is  housing  some  fine  car- 
nations. 

John  Reck  &  Son  report  an  abun- 
dance of  funeral  work.  They  are  plant- 
ing their  first  shipment  of  French 
bulbs. 

James  Beach  has  a  fine  lot  of  Boston 
and  Whitmanii  ferns  coming  on  for  the 
fall  trade.  He  is  cutting  splendid  as- 
ters and  snapdragons.  The  range  was 
closed  at  noon  on  one  of  the  hot  days 
recently  and  all  workers  were  invited 
for  the  remainder  of  the  day  to  Mr. 
Beach's  home  in  Milford.  Miss  Sarah 
Beach  returned  recently  from  abroad, 
where  she  has  been  since  last  Septem- 
ber. 

Frederick  E.  Bouton,  the  junior  mem- 
ber of  G.  C.  Bouton  &  Son,  is  conva- 
lescing at  his  home,  after  undergoing 
an  operation  at  the  Bridgeport  hospital.

PLUMOSUS  GOOD  FOR  YEARS.  : 

Is  it  better  to  use  the  old  plumosus 
roots  than  to  bench  young  plants  each 
yearf  K.  G. — Kan. 


Plants  of  Asparagus  plumosus,  pro- 
vided they  have  a  good  depth  of  poil 
and  are  well  fed,  will  last  for  a  number 
of  years  and  give  better  service  than 
young  plants  each  season.  C.  W.

Snapdragon  Seed 

It  is  a  proved  fact  that,  for  profit  and  easy 
doing,  there  is  no  greenhouse  plant  that  will 
equal  good  Snapdragon.  They  require  very  lit- 
tle attention  and  seed  sown  now  will  yield  con- 
tinuous blooms  from  February  until  July, 
giving  a  bumper  crop  at  Memorial,  the  great 
special  flower  day. 

Start  some  seedlings  today  and  be  ready  to 
fill  all  empty  space  after  mums  are  done.  It  is 
far  better  and  cheaper  to  grow  your  own  plants.

Gentlemen :  We  wish  to  compliment  you 
on  the  superior  stock  of  Lilium  Oisanteum

LOS  ANGELES,  CAL. 


The  Market. 


Stock  of  the  second-rato  {jrade  con- 
tinues to  pile  up  and  be  sent  to  the 
dump,  but  retailers  say  they  could  use 
more  first-rate  flowers.  There  have  been 
quite  a  number  of  good  weddinjf  deco- 
rations, and  these  would  have  used  far 
more  good  roses,  orchids  and  such  stock. 
Some  excellent  rubrum  lilies,  asters«and 
Golden  Glow  have  been  drawn  on  for 
the  larger  work,  while  table  decoration 
and  bouquets  have  suffered.  Belladonna 
lilies  are  plentiful  and  their  fragrance 
helps  to  sell  them.  Asters  are  keeping 
up  well,  the  best  coming  from  the  foot 
hill  and  beach  growers. 

Indoor  carnations  of  good  quality'  are 
scarce,  and  so  are  roses.  Orchids  come 
in  irregularly,  and  there  are  never 
enough  for  the  demand.  Valley  is  also 
scarce.  Centaureas  are  good  for  funeral 
work;  gladioli  are  scarce.  Dahlias  are 
plentiful,  but  there  are  too  few  of  the 
clear,  decided  tints  and  too  many  mixed 
colors.  On  accQynt  of  the  lack  of  ship- 
ping business,  greens  are  excessively 
plentiful. 

Various  Notes. 

John  Gordon  has  returned  to  his  place 
at  Frank  Lichtenberg's  looking  well 
and  sunburned,  and  one  can  well  believe 
him  when  he  says  he  has  enjoyed  his 
two  weeks '  vacation.  Business  has  kept 
up  fairly  well  at  the  store. 

Fred  Sperry  is  around  again,  quite 
recovered  from  the  effects  of  his  opera- 
tion, and  says  that  it  has  been  a  great 
relief  to  him. 

The  Star  Nursery,  at  Montebello,  has 
erected  more  glass  and  made  several 
changes  and  improvements.  Some  fine 
Cocos  pluniosa,  planted  four  or  five 
years  ago,  are  now  being  lifted.  They 
meet  with  a  ready  sale. 

H.  A.  Marks,  of  the  Germain  Seed  &, 
Plant  Co.,  has  returned  from  his  ea^^j 
ern  trip. 

Stanley  Purdy  says  he  is  well  satis- 
fied with  his  start  in  business  at  the 
Freeman   store. 

Among  the  shipments  from  the  S. 
Murata  &  Co.  store  last  week  was  a 
large  horseshoe  for  a  store  opening 
"somewhere"  in  Arizona. 

F.  R.  Hills  has  another  large  green- 
house under  way,  the  demand  for  his 
ferns  having  again  exceeded  the  sup- 
ply. Mr.  and  Mrs.  Hills  celebrated  the 
twentieth  anniversary  of  their  wedding 
August  19,  in  their  usual  way,  too,  of 
giving  other  people  pleasure,  taking 
friends  out  in  one  of  their  machines  and 
putting  the  other  at  the  service  of  the 
men   in  the  nursery. 

Walter  Armacost  &  Co.,  in  addition 
to  their  rose  shipments,  are  supplying  a 
good    deal    of    the    vallev    and    orchids 


sold   locally,   and    the    stock    is   fine    in 
every  way.  H.  E.  Eichards. 


SAN  FRANCISCO. 


The  Market. 


Tliere  is  little  change  in  the  market 
situation  since  the  last  report  either 
with  regard  to  stock  or  condition 
of  business.  The  demand  leaves 
no  ground  for  complaint  and  there 
are  plenty  of  flowers,  with  the  ex- 
ception of  orchids  and  first-class 
roses.  Orchids  continue  in  unusu- 
ally light  supply,  the  retailers  having 
great  difficulty  in  obtaining  blooms  to 
fill  the  orders.  Valley  also  is  on  the 
short  side  of  the  market,  but  the  short- 
age is  not  so  acute  as  in  the  case  of 
orchids.  Gardenias  clean  up  closely 
from  day  to  day. 

Asters  are  about  at  their  lieight  now 
and  easily  dominate  the  local  mar- 
ket. There  are  indications  that  the 
supply  might  become  a  trifle  bur- 
densome, but  so  far  the  steadily 
increasing  offerings  have  managed 
to  find  an  outlet  without  any  vi 
the  stock  being  sacrificed.  The 
heavy  shipping  demand  helps  mate- 
rially in  taking  care  of  .tttjj  enor- 
mous supplies.  Chrysanthemums  are 
more  in  evidence,  but  the  blooms 
are  still  too  soft  to  justify  a  heavy 
shipping  movement.  Monrovia  and 
October  Frost  will  be  added  to  the 
earlier  varieties  in  another  week.  A 
few  violets  find  their  way  to  market, 
but  they  are  far  from  plentiful  and 
clean  up  readily  at  comparatively  high 
prices. 

New-crop  carnations  are  more  plenti- 
ful. With  the  arrival  of  good  stock, 
the  demand  is  better.  The  carnations 
have    been    so   poor   for    several   weeks 


that  little  attention  was  accorded 
them.  Gladioli  are  going  off  crop 
rapidly. 

Amaryllis  Belladonna  sliows  splendid 
quality  and  meets  with  a  good  demand. 
Rubrum  lilies  leave  nothing  rto  be  de- 
sired in  quantity,  quality:-^'  demand. 
The  cut  flowers  sell  well,  also  tht  potted 
plants.  Dahlias  are  offered  in  a  wide 
assortment  of  colors,  sizes  and  types. 
Not  much  can  be  said  of  roses.  The 
offerings  are  not  especially  fine,  neither 
are  they  especially  poor.  The  same 
average  maintains  for  nearly  all  va- 
rieties.    Beauties  are  still  negligible. 

Various  Notes. 

Luther  Burbank  was  elected  an  '^ac- 
tive  member  of  the  Dahlia  Society  of 
California  at  the  monthly  meeting  at 
the  Palace  hotel  August  18.  Mr.  Bur- 
bank  is  interested  in  the  development 
of  the  dahlia  and  appreciates  the  work 
being  done  by  the  society.  He  is  in- 
terested in  several  new  varieties  and 
will  have  an  educational  exhibit  at  the 
annual  show,  which  will  be  held  at  the 
hotel  September  .S  to  5.  Entries  for  the 
display  are  coming  in  so  rapidly  that 
the  management  fears  late  applicants 
will  not  be  able  to  secure  space,  not- 
withstanding the  fact  that  double  the 
space  used  last  year  has  been  engaged. 

Daniel  MacRorie  and  Donald  Mc- 
Laren, of  MacRorie  &  McLaren,  have 
returned  from  a  visit  to  the  Cottage 
Gardens  Nurseries  at  Eureka,  Cal.  R. 
Bernadeau,  manager  of  the  company's 
retail  store,  and  Fred  Hammarstron, 
work.  This  firm  had  several  good-sized 
landscape  engineer,  are  away  on  vaca- 
tions. 

The  appearance  of  the  Art  Floral

thorough  renovation.  New  baskets 
have  been  provided  for  window  display

P.  L.  Rosaia  has  accepted  a  position 
with  the  Art  Floral  Co.  and  will  have 
charge  of  tl*e  designing  department. 
He  has  had  several  years'  experience  in 
the  florists'  business,  having  been  asso- 
ciated with  his  brothers  under  the  name 
of  Eosaia  Bros,,  at  Seattle,  Wash. 

B.  W.  Alberts,,  with  J.  B.  Alberts, 
orchid  collector  of  Louisville,  Ky.,  has 
been  visiting  in  this  city. 

Louis  Picetti,  manager  of  the  plant 
and  seed  department  at  the  Emporium, 
which  is  operated  by  Navlet  &  Co.,  of 
San  Jose,  was  drawn  in  the  first  draft, 
as  well  as  his  two  brothers,  and  he  is 
anxiously  waiting  to  see  if  all  three 
will  be  called  for  service.  He  is  receiv- 
ing large  shipments  of  bulbs  and  re- 
ports a  strong  demand. 

Frank  Pelicano  has  about  200  plants 
of  his  Dr.  Tevis  dahlia  this  year  and  is 
bringing  in  many  fine  blooms. 

Pelicano,  Rossi  &  Co.  have  received 
a  large  shipment  of  baskets  from  the 
Raedlein  Basket  Co.,  of  Chicago.  There' 
has  been  a  rush  of  funeral  work  at  this 
store  for  nearly  two  weeks.  Mr.  Cana- 
varo  is  spending  his  vacation  in  Cala-

in  the  army. 

Julius  Eppstein,  proprietor  of  the

work,  which  slumped  a  little  during  the 
extremely  hot  weather  of  July  and  early 
August,  is  again  becoming  an  important 
feature  of  each  day's  total. 

Stock  is  plentiful  and  improvement  in 
quality  is  noticeable  in  most  flowers. 
Roses,  both  the  home-grown  and  those 
coming  in  from  the  coast,  are  good  as  to 
flower,  though  not  long  of  stem.  As  the 
call  during  the  summer,  however,  is  not 
usually  for  the  highest-priced  stock,  the 
absence  of  a  few  inches  on  the  one  end 
of  the  stem  does  not  make  much  dif- 
ference. There  will  be  many  carnations 
cut  during  the  early  winter,  judging  by 
the  condition  of  the  young  stock. 

Various  Notes. 

Bernson  &  Halle  are  cutting  new  car- 
nations of  good  quality  and  are  more 
enthusiastic  than  ever  over  the  showing

The  Florists^  Review 


August  30,  1917. 


The  Hoyt  Bros.  Co.  is  taking  pride 
in  its  new  delivery  car,  which  is  about 
the  most  liandsome  thing  devised  in  the 
way  of  delivery  service. 

The  Spokane  Florist  Co.  has  been  ex- 
ceptionally fortunate  in  landing  several 
large  decorative  orders.  Business  has 
been  good  with  the  company  through 
the  summer  months. 

A.  J.  Burt  announced  his  intention  of 
opening  a  store  in  tlie  Clemmer  theater 
building  about  September  1.  He  was 
formerly  in  business  at  829  Eiverside, 
but  retired  from  the  retail  field  when 
he  sold  out  to  Adolph  Donart  last  spring. 

L.  B.  H. 

PORTLAND,  ORE. 


The  Market. 


The  supply  has  exceeded  the  demand 
during  the  last  week,  there  being  a 
large  supply  of  gladioli  and  asters,  with 
but  little-  call  for  them.  Golden  Glow 
chrysanthemums  have  reached  the  mar- 
ket, and  there  are  enough  carnations 
and  roses  to  supply  the  small  demand. 
Zinnias  are  plentiful.  Business  was  ex- 
ceptionally quiet  at  the  retail  stores  last 
week. 

Society  Meeting. 

The  Portland  Floral  Society  held  its 
regular  meeting  at  the  Masonic  Temple 
August  21,  with  about  forty  members 
present.  J.  II.  Wood  was  elected  a 
member  and  M.  H.  Gorman,  curator  of 
the  Forestry  building,  an  honorary 
member. 
-  The  next  twelve  meetings  will  be  in 
the  hands  of  an  entertainment  commit- 
tee of  twelve  members,  each  member  to 
provide  the  entertainment  for  one  meet- 
ing. The  members  of  the  committee  are 
Messrs.  Scott,  Birchler,  Zitzewitz,  Pil- 
kington,  Steele,  Niklas,  Gehr,  Forbes, 
Olarke,  Bacher,  Dossche  and  Van  Kirk. 
On  the  program  committee  are  Messrs. 
■Gill,  Weed,  Mische,  Bodley,  Tonseth, 
Smith,  Feser,  Eoutledge,  White,  Kahn, 
Bacher  and  Lewis.  The  other  commit- 
tees appointed  were:  Exhibits,  Messrs. 
Forbes,  Clarke,  Pilkington,  Wood, 
Smith,  Tonseth,  Dossche,  Scott,  White 
■and  Feser;  retailers,  Messrs.  Clarke, 
Forbes,  Lubliner,  Smith,  Eoutledge  and 
Welty;  growers,  Messrs.  Borsch,  Holden, 
Panzer,  Zimmerman,  Zitzewitz  and 
White. 

The  members  were  requested  to  bring 
to  the  next  meeting  lists  of  stock  they 
have  for  sale  and  of  stock  they  want  to 
buy.  It  is  contemplated  that  by  sub- 
mitting the  one  to  the  retailers  and  the 
other  to  the  growers  much  stock  will  be 
moved  that  otherwise  would  be  lost.  A 
plan  was  also  announced  to  establish 
the  credit  ratings  of  florists  in  the 
northwest.  Members  were  asked  to  sub- 
mit lists  of  florists  with  whom  they  do 
business  and  their  ratings  to  Secretarv 
F.  A.  Van  Kirk. 

There  was  a  spirited  discussion  of  the 
labor  situation  and  it  was  agreed  that 
in  view  of  the  shortage  of  men  it  will

Showers  the  early  part  of  last  week 
helped  to  freshen  up  things  a  little.  It 
blighted  the  peas  and  asters  for  a  few 
days,  but  it  probably  was  a  benefit  in 
the  long  run.  Growers  are  looking  for 
a  heavy  demand  and  there  probably 
would  be  a  number  of  new  houses  put 
up  were  it  not  for  the  tremendous  ad- 
vance in  the  price  of  all  greenhouse  ma- 
terial and  the  scarcity  of  fuel.  Owing 
to  the  trouble  in  the  lumber  industry, 
the  supply  of  "slabs,"  or  lumber  culls, 
from  the  mill  yards  is  limited.  They 
have  been  popular  fuel  for  greenhouse 
boilers  until  recently.  Coal  is  exor- 
bitant in  price,  so  the  heating  problem 
is  an  unsolved  one.

Nurserymen,  as  a  class,  are  recovering 
from  the  panic  into  which  many  of  them 
were  thrown  by  the  slump  in  business  last 
spring  and  alarm  is  giving  place  to  con- 
fidence that  the  autumn  season  will  be 
more  nearly  normal.

Farleyense,  has  quickly  made  a  place  for  itself  not  only  on  account 
of  the  fact  that  it  can  be  produced  for  little  over  half  that  of  grow- 
ing Farleyense,  but  klso  because  either  in  a  cut  state  or  as  plants 
used  in  decorative  work,  it  will  outlast  the  old  variety  ten  to  one, 
making  it  an  available  subject  where  Farleyense  cannot  be  used  at 
all.  Since  its  introduction  some  five  or  six  years  ago  there  has 
never  been  a  supply  large  enough  to  meet  the  demand.

Pappio  river,  to  Eichard  Caplis,  a  De- 
troit realty  man,  for  about  $40,000. 
Mr.  Caplis,  who  saw  the  farm  on  his 
last  visit  to  Omaha,  bought  it  as  an 
investment,  the  sale  being  closed 
through  L.  D.  Spalding.  _ 

Buying  the  bulk  of  the  farm  in  1909 
of  Glaus  Sievers,  Mr.  Eosenfield  added 
to  it  until  it  now  contains  about  twenty- 
four  and  a  half  acres.  He  has  erected 
several  buildings  and  is  to  construct 
another  for  the  new  owner,  who  will 
manage  it  next  season.  Mr.  Eosenfield 
reserves  15,000  plants  to  remove  this 
fall,  selling  some  of  them  and  keeping 
others  "for   my  own  amusement,"   he 

says. 

He  plans  to  remain  in  Omaha  at  least 
a  year  or  two. 

The  peony  farm  with  its  rich  soil 
and  many  exclusive  varieties  of  flowers 
is  one  of  the  show  places  of  Omaha.

COLUMBUS,  O. 

Bu.siiioss  luis  iiiijii'()\('(l  siiico  tho  last 
writing,  but  is  still  quiet,  with  ])lenty 
of  cut  stock  eoniing  in.  There  is  a 
ecarcity  of  blooniinji;  plants;  it  is  hanl 
to  ])ro('ure  much  in  that  line  at  ]»resent. 
Ferns  have  been  moving  well,  but  are 
in  rather  short  supply.  (Jladioli  have 
been  more  than  plentiful  and  at  tiines 
it  has  been  difficult  to  move  them  at 
any  price,  but  the  bulk  seems  to  be 
about  over  with,  and  this  will  make  it 
better  for  those  to  come  from  now  on. 

Koses  have  been  plentiful,  outside  of 
whites,  which  have  been  markedly 
scarce.  The  blooms  as  a  rule  move 
well.  Fine  Russell  roses  arrive,  and 
they  go  about  the  first.  Shawyer,  Mi- 
lady, Ophelia  and  Maryland  seem  to 
make  up  the  receipts,  with  a  few  Kil- 
larney  now  and  then.  Asters  have  been 
hard  to  get,  and  the  good  stock  that 
does  come  in  is  cleaned  ujt  at  good 
prices.  Asters  have  been  much  of  a 
failure  again  this  year,  and  nearly  all 
that    come    in    are   grown    by   amateurs. 

Lilies  are  none  too  plentiful,  the 
demand  being  about  equal  to  the  sup- 
ply. Carnations  arc  making  their  ap- 
pearance again,  but  the  quality  is  not 
extra  and  the  stems  are  short.  They 
work  in  nicely,  howeverj_  as  i)eople 
want  them  even  if  they  are  small.  Val- 
ley is  not  in  good  supply  at  this  time, 
but   the  flemand  has  not   lieen  heavy. 

Nearly   all    of    the    workers    have    re 
turned    from    their    vacations    ami    will 
be   ready  for   tiie  busy   season  when    it 
opens,  which  all  hope  will  be  shortlv.

Greenhouse  Heating. 

Subscribers  are  invited  to  write  the 
Editor  of  this  Department  with  regard  to 
any  details  of  greenhouse  heating  that 
are  not  understood.  But  please  do  not 
ask  The  Eeview  to  make  a  choice  of  ap- 
paratus for  you.  The  greenhouse  heating 
equipment  advertised  in  this  paper  is,  we 
believe,  the  best  for  the  trade  to  buy, 
and  each  article  the  best  in  the  special 
field  of  its  adaptation. 


HOUSES     ON     SLOPING     GROUND. 

I  am  planning  to  build  a  greenhouse 
this  season,  or  perhaps  two  greenhouses, 
each  20x50.  One  will  be  used  for 
flowers  and  the  other  for  vegetables. 
The  houses  will  be  even-span  and  will 
run  north  and  south.  The  side  walls 
will  be  at  least  six  feet  high.  The  boiler 
room  will  be  at  the  north  end.  The 
south  gables  will  be  glass  and  there 
will  be  twenty  inches  of  glass  in  the 
side  walls.  The  ground  slopes  to  the 
east  and  the  first  house  erected  will  be 
at  the  base  of  the  incline.  If  I  raise 
the  second  house  eighteen  or  twenty 
inches,  can  I  heat  both  houses  satisfac- 
^torily?  Please  give  directions  for  the 
piping  of  both  houses,  though  I  may 
not  be  able  to  build  both  of  them  this 
season.  L.  E.  B. — Mich. 


The  letter  does  not  state  what  classes 
of  vegetables  or  plants  will  be  grown  in 
the  houses,  but  if  a  temperature  of  60 
degrees  is  needed  in  one  house  and  50 
degrees  in  the  other  we  would  suggest 
the  following  arrangement  of  the  pip- 
ing: 111  either  case  we  would  use  three 
2iX.'-inoh  flow  pipes,  placing  one  upon 
each  ])latc  and  the  other  three  feet 
under  the  ridge,  with  twelve  2-inch  re- 
turn pipes  for  60  degrees  and  eight  2- 
inch  returns  for  50  degrees.  If  it  is 
found  more  convenient  to  put  in  2-inch 
pipes  for  tlie  flows  and  li/Si-inch  pipes 
for  the  returns,  use  three  flows,  with 
fifteen  returns  for  60  degrees  and  ten 
returns  for  50  degrees. 

While  all  of  the  flow. pipes  may  start 
at  or  near  the  boiler,  4-inch  main  flow 
and  return  pipes  may  be  used  for  each 
of  the  houses.  In  all  cases  the  return 
coils  should  be  connected  with  the  boiler 
by  means  of  pipes  of  the  same  size  or 
capacity  as  that  of  the  main  flow  pipes. 
Unless  the  difference  in  the  level  of  the 
houses  is  more  than  two  feet,  tliere 
should  be  no  difficulty  in  securing  an 
even  distribution  of  the  water,  although 
it  will  be  advisable  to  place  valves,  at 
least  uj)on  the  flow  pipe  or  pipes  leading 
to  the  higher  house,  with  wliich  to 
clieek   the   flow   to   that   house   in   case

The  immense  amount  of  direct  self-cleaning:  heating:  surface  and 
the  thin  vertical  waterways  cause  this  type  of  boiler  construction 
to  heat  water  quicker  than  any  other  form  of  boiler. 

Hundreds  of  Florists'  Review  readers  are  using  the 
Kroeschell  Boiler  and  mighty  is  their  praise.  This 
year  has  brought  us  an  enormous  number  of  new 
customers  who  have  seen  our  boiler  in  operation 
at  other  places.  We  attribute  the  large  sales  of 
this  season  to  the  good  work  the  Kroeschell  Boiler 
is  doing  everywhere.  With  our  policy — "the  cus- 
tomers' interest  first" — perfection  of  construc- 
tion— factory, to  user  prices— honest  and  "true

there  is  too  much  of  a  tendency  to  flow 
in  that  direction. 

In  running  the  pipes,  care  should  be 
taken  to  give  them  a  slight  but  even 
fall  from  the  boiler,  so  that  air  can- 
not collect  in  pockets.  If  the  highest 
point  in  the  system  is  at  or  near  the 
boiler,  and  the  flow  pipes  run  downhill, 
the  expansion  tank  may  be  connected  to 
the  highest  point  of  one  of  the  pipes  by 
means  of  a  1-inch  pipe,  and  if  smaller 
pipes  are  run  to  the  highest  points  in 
each  of  the  other  pipes  there  will  be  no 
occasion  for  using  air  valves.  The  re- 
turns connected  with  the  flows  upon  the 
plates  may  be  either  on  the  walls  or 
under  the  side  benches,  and  tlie  other

The  Florists^  Review 


August  30.  1917. 


INDIANAPOLIS. 


The  Market. 


Though  none  too  active,  business  can 
hardly  be  called  sluggish.  The  market 
is  in  fair  condition  with  regard  to 
stock,  in  comparison  with  last  week's 
shortage. 

Lilies  are  coming  in  more  freely,  but 
bring  a  higher  price  than  those  of  a 
month  ago.  Lilies  no  better  than  those 
formerly  sold  at  $5  and  $8  now  make 
$10.  Asters  are  in  the  greatest  supply 
of  all  items  and  are  of  a  better  quality 
than  previously.  The  prices  range  from 
$1.50  to  $3,  and  at  these  figures  the 
blooms  are  in  good  demand. 

New  carnations  are  making  their  ap- 
pearance, in  limited  numbers.  Roses 
from  young  stock  make  a  good  showing 
and  meet  with  a  ready  call  at  $1.50 
to  $5  per  hundred.  Snapdragons  have 
been  benefited  by  the  cooler  weather 
and  now  make  a  more  conspicuous 
showing.  Tuberoses  are  newcomers  in 
both  the  double  and  single  varieties,  the 
former  being  quoted  at  $5  and  $6  and 
the  latter  at  $3.  Dahlias  are  excep- 
tionally slow  in  cropping  this  season. 
A  few  are  available,  but  in  quantities 
insufficient  for  any  special  use.  Cosmos 
is  increasing  in  supply  and  is  helping 
to  fill  up  the  void. 

Various  Notes. 

Hartje  &  Elder  and  the  Indianapolis 
Flower  &  Plant  Co.  are  cutting  good 
late  asters. 

Baur  &  Steinkamp  are  producers  of 
some  good  new  carnations  seen  in  the 
market. 

William  Roepke  has  gone  to  Chicago 
in  regard  to  stock  for  the  Indiana  state 
fair. 

Walter  Bertermann  has  returned  from 
New  York,  where  he  attended  the  S.  A. 
F.  convention. 

G.  Bookedis  has  gone  to  Chicago  for 
a  few  days  and  Otto  Lawrence  is  off 
on  his  vacation. 

F,  G.  Nelson,  of  Burlington,  la.,  wasy 
a  recent  visitor  in  the  city.     E.  E.  T. 


MINNEAPOLIS,    MINN. 

Business  was  fair  last  week.  The 
market  was  well  stocked,  particularly 
with  such  outdoor  stock  as  gladioli  and 
gaillardias.  Lilies,  which,  owing  to  the 
dry  weather,  have  been  scarce,  are 
more  plentiful.  The  weather  was  warm 
last  week,  but  growers  are  complaining 
over  the  lack  of  rain. 

John  Hayden  has  moved  his  store  two 
doors  south  of  the  forafter  place  at 
Twenty-sixth  street  and  Hennepin  ave- 
nue. The  new  store  is  much  larger  and 
has  more  window  space. 

Miss  Gertrude  Schildger,  of  the 
Whitted  Floral  Co.,  is  spending  her  va- 
cation in  Chicago.  Joseph  J.  Orp,  of 
the  same  company,  has  returned  from 
a  motor  trip  to  Pelican  lake.  The  store 
force  has  had  considerable  wedding 
work  of  late. 

Moore,  Terwilliger  &  Co.  had  an  ar- 
tistic displav  of  pottery  last  week.

a  large  marquee  with  a  wired  glass

dirty,  and  we  have  not  been  able  to 
clean  it  with  water.  It  occurred  to 
the  writer  to  have  our  porter  make 
an  application  of  Andersen  Daylite

GRAND  BAPIDS,  MICH. 


The  Market. 


Business  for  the  month  of  August  has 
been  exceptionally  good.  The  nutner- 
ous  military  weddings  have  contributed 
toward  a  better  summer  business.  Stock 
of  all  kinds,  except  carnations,  is  in 
good  supply.  Asters  and  gladioli  are 
in  their  prime  now,  and  are  the  best 
sellers,  other  garden  flowers  being  about 
over  with.  A  few  Easter  and  rubrum 
lilies  may  be  had.  Eussell  and  Ophelia 
roses  are  the  most  popular  for  sum- 
mer use.  Sweet  peas  have  been  fair 
since  the  cooler  weather  set  in,  but  they 
will  not  last  much  longer. 

Various  Notes. 

Henry  Smith's  store  has  been  a 
rather  busy  place  for  summer.  The 
interior  of  the  store  has  been  redeco- 
rated. 

Eli  Cross  has  been  cutting  quantities 
of  fine  gladioli. 

Arthur  Crabb  has  been  busy  with 
military  weddings  and  decorations.  One 
military  ball  called  for  nineteen  large 
and  ten  small  baskets,  which  covered 
seventy-five   square  feet  of  tables. 

Alfred  Hannah  &  Co.  have  been  un- 
usually busy  with  good  summer  business 
and  a  renovation  of  the  store  at  the 
same  time.  A.  F.  C. 


DENVER,  COLO. 


Business  last  week  was  exceptionally 
good,  banquets  and  receptions  to  the 
army  men  who  received  commissions  at 
Fort  Riley,  Kan.,  bringing  considerable 
business  to  the  florists.  The  weather 
has  been  fair,  but  the  nights  are  begin- 
ning to  be  cool,  and  this,  in  these  days 
of  the  high  cost  of  fuel,  causes  some  of 
the  growers  to  worry  about  the  coal 
pile. 

D.  R.  Gwillim,  who  for  years  has 
conducted  a  store  at  Victor,  Colo.,  has 
entered  the  automobile  business  in 
Denver.  He  has  not  yet  disposed  of 
his  store  at  Victor.

Greenhouse  White  Paint 

Protect  Your  Houses  Before  Cold  Weather  Sets  In 


Remember 


all  ordinary  paint  will  not  do. 
The  conditions  are  extreme — not 
to  say  remarkable — and  it  takes 
a  paint  complying  with  certain 
technical  requirements  to  give 
satisfaction.  You  will  find  Green- 
house White  to  be  the  paint. 

The  only  paint  that  will 
not  blister  or  peel 


Greenhouse  White 

is  made  for  us  by  paint  experts, 
by  people  who  have  made  a  life- 
long study  of  painting  problems, 
and  in  buying  a  product  which 
bears  their  endorsement  you  can 
depend  upon  securing  a  product 
satisfactory  in  all  respects  for 
the  purpose  intended. 


There  isn't  a  more  honest  Paint  made  than  this  and  it  is  backed  up  by  an  institution  whose  reputation 
for  honest  dealing  cannot  be  questioned. 

Try  5  gallons  and  be  convinced — it  won't  cost  you  much — when  you  consider  the  quality.

The  Florists'  Review 


August  30,  1917. 


Peter  Reinberg  Says: 

**We  have   had   the   Garland   gutters   in   use   over   twenty  years. 
They  are  in  just  as  good  condition  as  when  they  were  first  put  in." 

Garland  Quality  Product  has  thousands  of  friends  such  as  Mr.  Reinberg. 

WHAT    AND    HOW    TO    BUILD 


Let  us  help  you  decide.    We  operate  foundry,  wood  mill  and  machine  shops.     Our  1917  catalogue 
is  a  work  of  art  and   has  much  valuable   information.    Send  for  one  today.    A  postal  will  do.

The  Market. 

Business  is  better  than  it  has  been, 
the  call  for  stock  for  funeral  work  be- 
ing steady.  There  have  been  a  few 
good  decorations  and  orders  for  flowers 
for  hospitals  have  been  good.  Prices 
remain  about  the  same. 

There  is  a  plentiful  supply  of  out- 
door stock,  with  gladioli,  asters  and 
hydrangeas  in  the  lead.  Gladiolus 
prices  hold  up  well,  the  best  varieties 
bringing  topnotch  prices.  There  seems 
to  be  a  shortage  in  the  rose  crop.  There 
is  a  good  supply  of  the  shorter  grades, 
but  the  best  grades,  with  long  stems, 
are  hard  to  procure.  Carnations,  of 
course,  are  scarce.  A  few  of  the  short- 
stemmed  come  from  the  fields,  and  they 
are  used  mostly  in  funeral  designs. 
Dahlias  and  zinnias  are  arriving  in 
large  quantities.  Valley  commands  high 
prices.  Cattleyas  are  off  crop  at  pres- 
ent. Larkspurs  are  utilized  for  store 
decorations.  Rubrum,  album  and  Easter 
lilies  continue  plentiful.  Other  offer- 
ings are  feverfew,  snapdragons,  corn- 
flowers, salpiglossis  and  cosmos.  Greens 
are  plentiful. 

Various  Notes. 

Miss  C.  B.  Flick,  of  the  Patten 
Flower  Shop,  Toledo,  O.,  is  spending 
a  three  weeks'  vacation  with  her  niece, 
Mrs.  Mildred  Flick  Buchanan,  of  this 
city.  Miss  Flick  says  that  business  at 
Toledo  has  been  most  active  through- 
out the  summer  and  that  she  is  glad  to 
get  a  rest. 

Miss  Marguerite  Flick,  of  the  Flick 
Floral  Co.,  has  returned  from  a  several 
weeks'  visit  with  friends  in  Detroit, 
Mich. 

W.  J.  Vesey,  Jr.,  was  one  of  the 
judges  at  the  recent  celebration  of  the 
"Potato  Patch  Patriots,"  at  Foster 
Park.  Mr.  Vesey  has  been  called  in  the 
first  draft  and  will  probably  go  to  the 
training  camp  at  Fort  Benjamin  Harri- 
son within  a  few  weeks. 

The  drop  in  the  prices  of  coal,  as  reg- 
ulated by  the  government,  has  greatly 
relieved  the  growers  here,  and  they 
are  facing  the  winter  in  a  more  opti- 
mistic frame  of  mind  than  a  few  weeks 
ago.  E.  F. 

Utica,  N.  Y. — A  branch  store  has 
been  opened  in  the  Hotel  Martin  build- 
ing by  the  Utica  Floral  Co.  Basil 
Brown,  the  manager,  has  been  with  the 
company  for  three  years  at  the  Genesee 
street  store.

E.  H.  Sunbury,  of  Wamesit,  Massa-

"The  Skinner  System  of  Irri- 
gation is  the  simplest  and  easiest 
to  install,  as  well  as  the  most 
practical  I  have  ever  heard  of." 

This  is  what  Mr.  R.  Scheffler.  of

"The  Skinner  System  can  be 
put  up  by  any  handy  man."

EFFICIENT  HOUSES 

Our  long  experience  in  greenhouse  construction  enables  us  to  give  the  best  in 
service,  material  and  workmanship,  and  the  purchaser  of  ICKES-BRAUN  con- 
struction can  invest  without  a  doubt  as  to  the  efficiency  of  his  houses.     Each  detail 
is  perfected  and  approved — there  is  no  experimenting  with  your  money. 

Our  new  "LEAK-PROOF"  gutter  continues  to  prove  its  superiority.  In  a  new  range  of 
houses  recently  erected,  for  which  we  furnished  11  runs  200  feet  long,  there  was  not  one 
single  leak  noticeable  during  a  downpour  which  filled  the  gutter  to  overflowing.  Have  you 
anything  similar  to  show?

SPRAYER    NOZZLE 


Gentlemen;— Some  time  ago  I  got  some  spray  nozzles  and  cannot  remember  just  where  I  j;ot  them.  There 
is  no  name  on  them,  but  they  are  very  fine  things  and  I  want  some  more.  I  am  under  ttie  imnression  that 
they  came  from  you.  If  not,  probably  you  can  put  me  next,  as  I  think  they  came  from  Pittsburgh.  The  noz- 
zles are  about  8  inches  long,  Vours  very  truly,  C.  H.  FREY,  Lincoln,  Neb. 

The  best  spraying  or  flush  nozzle  for  roses,  carnations  or  for  all-round  watering  yet  introduced;  a  nozzle 
which  will  permit  regulating  the  force  of  spray.  Particularly  adapted  for  spraying  the  under  side  of  foliage; 
will  fit  »4-in.  EASTERN  GAUGE  COUPLING.  All  brass,  nickel  plated,  strong  and  durable,  price  post-
