Three   Aces 


The  one  at  the  top 
was  erected  for  Dr. 
Bevan,    at  Lake  For- 
est, 111. 

The  center  one  is  on 
the  famous  Armour 
instate,  at  the  same 
place.  It  is  one  of 
two  houses  which  we 

-"^  oolrofl   fn  huild   to 


is  none  less  than  that 
of  Wm.  Wriffley,  Jr., 
the  famous  ^um  man. 

Only  one  gi-eenhouse  shows,  but  there  is 
another  just  lilce  it  directly  joining  the  work- 
room. 

All  of  these  are  of  our  standard  curved  eave 
construction . 


Have  a  notion  that 
you,  however,  would 
want  our  modified 
curved  eave,  with  the 
gutter  at  the  bottom 
of  the  curve,  and  a 
continuous  row  of  side 
sash  hinged  to  it. 

It  is  the  way  we  are 
making  most  of  our 
greenhouses  these 
days. 

If  you  are  located  in 
the  West,  and  want  a 

greenhouse  in  a  hurry,  our  Western  Factory 

can  turn  it  out  for  you. 

Let's  talk  it  over. 

Say  when  and  where,  and  we'll  be  there.

Oak   Sprays    and 

CHRYSANTHEMUMS 

go  wonderfully  well  together  for  a  Fall  decora- 
tion, but  if  you  want  to  enhance  the  natural 
beauty  of  this  combination  we  suggest  the  use 
of  "Flowers  of  Superior  QuaUty,"  large,  glori- 
ous blooms  in  yellow,  pink  and  white.  These 
are  dependable — our  own  home-grown  stock. 

Pompons,  too,  are  exceptionally  fine  and  are 
very  popular  at  this  time. 

The  Chrysanthemums,  $2.00  to  $5.00  per  dozen 
The    Pompons,      -      -       SO    to    75    cents    per    bunch

Roses  -  Carnations  -  Beauties 
Chrysanthemums  and  Pompons 


The  superior  value  of  home  grown  flowers  is  that  they  are  perfectly  fresh. 
We  bring  them  direct  from  our  greenhouses  to  our  store  three  and  four  times 
per  day,  a  few  hours  after  being  cut.  On  perishable  stock  like  flowers/this  is  a 
big  item,  Quality.  We  pay  our  growers  ten  to  fifteen  per  cent  higher  wages  than 
is  paid  in  the  Chicago  district.  We  have  better  men  and  they  grow  better  flow- 
ers. We  are  Rose  specialists  and  are  now  cutting  from  245,000  Rose  plants  all  in 
one  range  of  glass,  besides  quantities  of  Mums,  Carnations  and  Beauties. 

With  all  these  advantages  for  our  stock  our  prices  are  never  higher  than 
other  houses  ask,  and  in  a  number  of  instances  lower.

This  White  has  been  in  the  service  of  the  John  Bader  Company  for  four  vears 

*'We  have  used  two  White  Trucks,  one  for  four 
years,  the  other  for  two  years,  and  in  that  time 
have  not  had  a  minute's  trouble.  Repair  costs  have 
been  very  low.  We  have  used  other  trucks,  but 
never  again.  When  we  need  another  truck  it  will 
be  a  White." 

John  Bader  Company, 
Pittsburgh,  Pa. 

THE  outstanding  reason  why  White  Trucks  are 
so  widely  used  by  florists  is  that  they  do  the  most 
work  for  the  least  money. 

Where  cost  records  are  kept,  Whites  invariably  show 
lower  operating  and  maintenance  costs  and  a  higher  per- 
centage of  days  in  active  service.  Experienced  truck  users 
buy  Whites  because  they  are  known  money  savers.

JLORISTS^ 


CAN  KENTIAS  COME 

FROM  THE  COAST? 

Six  years  of  studied  and  steady  development  at  Sierra  Madre,  Cal.,  have 
gone  far  toward  demonstrating  that  the  Belgian  palms  shut  out  hy  the  guar-  AsJW't 

antine  can  he  replaced  hy  production  there  under  slat  shade.    Principally  a  >^^'v 

matter  of  patience,  perseverance  and  depth  of  the  producer's  purse. 


HETHER  or  not  palms  can 
be  grown  on  a  commercial 
scale  under  the  conditions 
of  southern  California  de- 
pends on  the  ability  of 
the  growers  to  "estab- 
lish" the  plants  without 
bottom  heat.  That  bot- 
tom heat  is  necessary  has 
been  the  belief  of  most 
plantsmen,  both  on  the  coast  and  in 
the  east,  but  on  his  return  to  Philadel- 
phia, after  a  recent  inspection  of  what 
is  being  done  in  the  vicinity  of  Los 
Angeles,  so  good  a  judge  as  Jacob  D. 
Eisele  made  the  statement  that  the 
experiments  of  Bassett  &  Washburn 
seem  in  a  fair  way  to  revolutionize 
palm  production  for  the  trade  in  the 
United    States. 

The  subject  is  of  special  interest  now, 
since  the  plant  quar- 
antine has  shut  off  the 
importation  of  palms 
from  Belgium  and  from 
the  finishing  factories 
of  the  British  Isles, 
but  it  is  worth  while 
noting  that  the  experi- 
ments at  Sierra  Madre 
were  begun  in  1913, 
long  before  the  quar- 
antine was  thought  of. 

Ante-Belltun  Ways. 

Probably  everyone 
who  keeps  in  any  way 
in  touch  with  trade 
affairs  knows  that  one 
of  the  specific  objec- 
tions to  the  general 
quarantine  when  it 
was  proposed,  was  that 
it  would  close  the 
channels  through  which 
the  trade  and  the 
American  people  had 
been  accustomed  to  ob- 
tain their  supply  of_ 
palms.  Of  course 
palms  can  be  grown 
from  seeds  in  green- 
houses, but  the  produc- 
tion of  a  plant  of  sala- 
ble size  is  a  matter  ,.of 
years.  At  pre-war 
prices  for  building  ma- 
terial, fuel  and  labor 
no  great  number  of 
growers  persisted  in 
the  business;  by  far 
the  greater  part  of  the 
stock  handled  in  the 
"United  States  has  been 
imported. 

Before  the  Germans 
overran  Belgium  more 


palm  seeds  germinated  in  the  vicinity  of 
Ghent  and  Bruges  than  in  all  the  rest  of 
the  world,  commercially  speaking.  As 
soon  as  the  seedlings  were  established 
in  21^-inch  pots  they  became  salable  and 
from  then  on  they  might,  as  they  grew, 
change  hands  several  times.  But  with 
each  shift  they  had  the  accelerating 
assistance  of  more  or  less  bottom  heat, 
either  in  greenhouses  warmed  by  hot 
water  or  in  beds  made  genial  by  an 
underlayer  of  fermenting  manure. 

Whence  Imports  Came. 

Belgian  palms  in  small  sizes  fre- 
quently went  to  Scotland  or  England 
for  a  finishing  process  before  they  came 
to  America,  but  a  far  larger  number  in 
all  sizes  came  direct  to  the  United 
States,  the  larger  sizes  fully  established 
in  tubs  and  ready  for  sale,  the  smaller

sizes  usually  needing  a  pot  and  a  few 
weeks  or  months  in  a  greenhouse  to  put 
them  in  shape  for  the  trade's  uses. 

An  unestablished  plant  may  look  all 
right  in  a  greenhouse,  but  put  it  in  a 
store  or  a  dwelling  and  it  goes  quickly 
to  pieces. 

German  occupation  and  the  British 
blockade  temporarily  shut  off  the  Bel- 
gian plant  exports  and,  just  as  the  war 
lifted,  our  Federal  Horticultural  Board 
clamped  down  the  lid  for  keeps,  as  it 
said,  by  its  sweeping  quarantine  order. 
It  seems  quite  clear  that  if  American 
firms  would  not  invest  in  growing  palms 
under  glass  under  pre-war  conditions, 
they  will  not  do  so  under  the  quaran- 
tine, because  the  cost  of  greenhouse 
construction  and  of  greenhouse  opera- 
tion has  increased  in  the  last  five  years 
as  much  as  the  price  of  palms  has  ad- 
vanced, even  with  the 
starved  supply  and  ac- 
celerated demand  of 
the  last  year.  In  1914 
representative  firms 
advertised  in  The  Re- 
view 5-inch  kentias,  50 
to  75  cents;  6-inch,  $1 
to  $1.50  each.  In  1919 
the  same  growers  of- 
fered 5-inch  at  $1.25 
each  and  6-inch  at  $2 
to  $2.50  each. 

Westward  Ho! 

Under  such  condi- 
tions it  is  natural  that 
thoughts  should  turn 
toward  those  parts  of 
the  United  States  in 
which  the  climate  is 
such  as  to  suggest  the 
hope  that  palms  can  be 
grown  without  artifi- 
cial heat,  which  means, 
so  far  as  the  kentia  is 
concerned,  southern 
California,  for  the  ken- 
tia never  has  seemed 
at  home  in  Florida. 

Palms  have  come 
from  California  for 
years,  but  to  the  aver- 
age manager  of  a  first- 
class  flower  store  the 
mention  of  them  sug- 
gests plants  fresh  from 
their  hair  cut,  but 
which  have  not  yet 
had  their  bath.  The 
botanical  encyclopedias 
tell  us  twenty-six  gen- 
era and  eighty  species 
of  palms  grow  in  the 
gardens  of  southern 
California,  but  from  the

only  one  palm,  the  kentia,  and  outdoor 
culture  has  not  given  the  requisite  per-

It  was  in  1913  that  Edgar  B.  Wash- 
burn, a  graduate  of  the  agricultural  col- 
lege of  the  University  of  Wisconsin  and 
a  member  of  the  firm  of  Bassett  & 
Washburn,  Chicago,  undertook  the 
growing  of  kentias  in  California.  Mr. 
Washburn  had  located  at  Pasadena  to 
escape  the  unlovely  winters  at  Chicago. 
He  found  the  climate  so  beneficial  to 
his  health   that   he   decided   to   remain, 


and  the  palm-growing  enterprise  devel- 
oped from  an  inclination  to  employ  his 
energies  in  the  line  of  his  education  and 
business  training.  Thus  the  quarantine 
found  Bassett  &  Washburn  with  a  stock 
of  close  to  400,000  kentias  in  all  sizes, 
from  seedlings  to  6-inch  pots,  and  a 
going  establishment  capable  soon  of 
turning  out  100,000  6-inch  plants  per 
year. 

Six  Years  of  Study.

service,  Mr.  Washburn  has  devoted  all 
his  time  for  six  years  to  growing  ken- 
tias on  the  coast.  His  first  step  was  to 
look  over  the  work  that  was  then  being 
done  in  growing  palms  in  the  open  and 
in  lath  houses,  mostly  for  garden  use. 
From  this  survey  certain  well  defined 
ideas  were  obtained  and  a  site  for  the 
undertaking  was  selected. 

Twenty-five  acres  were  purchased  at 
Sierra  Madre,  about  fifteen  miles  north- 
east of  Los  Angeles.  Mr.  Washburn's 
home  is  in  Pasadena,  midway  between,, 
and  in  the  course  of  time  a  business 
office  was  established  at  611  Central 
building,  Pasadena.  There  is  a  boule- 
vard from  the  office  to  the  nursery, 
which  is  located  on  the  foothills  of 
Mount  Wilson.  It  is  300  or  400  feet 
above  the  bottom  of  the  valley,  which  is 
three  or  four  miles  away,  and  the  frosts 
slide  down  the  slope  just  like  water  down 
a  hillside.  Frost  damage  is  not  infre- 
quent in  the  valley,  but  at  the  nursery 
it  has  left  its  mark  only  once;  that  time 
not  on  the  tips  of  the  leaves  but  in  the 
shape  of  a  seared  streak  on  the  upper 
side  of  the  topmost  curve  of  the  arch- 
ing foliage.  The  thermometer  regis- 
tered 29  degrees  that  morning. 

Conditions  Nearly  Perfect. 

The  soil  at  Sierra  Madre  is  a  deep 
sandy  loam  made  up  of  decomposed 
granite.  .,The  subsoil  is  sand  or  gravel. 
There  is  good  drainage.  The  place  is 
known  for  the  high  percentage  it  re- 
ceives of  the  possible  number  of  hours 
of  sunshine,  for  its  freedom  from  fogs 
and  for  its  low  humidity.  It  is  warm 
in  the  day,  cool  in  the  night,  summer 
and  winter.  In  the  summer  the  daily 
temperature  usually  ranges  between  60 
and  100  degrees,  in  the  winter  between 
40  and  90  degrees. 

The  kentias  are  grown  in  the  open 
ground  at  Sierra  Madre,  the  seedlings 
being  planted  out  far  enough  apart  so 
they  can  make  five  years'  growth  un- 
disturbed, protected  only  by  lath 
houses.  The  purpose  is  to  protect  from 
the  sun,  not  from  the  frost. 

The  Lath  Houses. 

The  structures  common  in  California 
get  their  name  from  the  fact  that  they 
are  made  of  ordinary  plasterers'  lath, 
supported  by  a  frame  of  redwood  posts 
and  stringers.  Redwood  is  used  because 
of  its  splendid  lasting  qualities.  Grow- 
ers of  Asparagus  plumosus  use  such 
houses   and   so    do   others   whose    crops

require  partial  shade.  Bassett  &  Wash- 
burn soon  adopted  a  new  style  of 
lath  house,  consisting  of  a  double  roof, 
the  laths  running  at  right  angles  and 
the  two  roofs,  one  above  the  other, 
about  nine  inches  apart.  The  laths 
are  spaced  about  four  inches  apart  in 
each  level,  so  that  the  light  is  diffused 
except  for  small  squares  which  travel 
with  the  sun.  The  structures  have  side 
walls  covered  with  building  paper,  to 
serve  as  windbreaks.      

Commercial  Possibilities. 

Bassett  &  Washburn  have  built  their 
lath  houses  in' units  of  three  acres,  each 
unit  planned  to  shelter  100,000  plants. 
There  now  are  four  units  in  the  estab- 
lishment, housing  plants  ranging  from 
seedlings  to  stock  6  years  old  and 
thirty-six  to  forty-eight  inches  high. 
As  it  takes  five  years  to  grow  plants  to 
the  potting  stage'  and  another  year  to 
establish  tliem  in  6-inch  pots,  the  com- 
pletion of  two  more  3-acre  units  of  lath 
houses  will  put  the  growers  in  position 
to  turn  out  100,000  finished  plants  per 
year. 

The  idea  is  to  plant  one  3  acre  unit 
each  year  with  100,000  seedlings  out  of 
2%-inch  pots,  each  year  to  pot  up  all 
the  100,000  5-year-old  plants  in  another 
unit,  and  to  sell  out  the  100,000  plants 
in  the  unit  that  was  potted  up  the 
year  before. 

Palm  growers  who  have  watched  the 
development  of  the  establishment  at 
Sierra  Madre  have  expressed  many 
doubts,  some  as  to  the  possibility  of 
finding  a  market  for  such  huge  quanti- 
ties of  stock  as  are  now  contained  in 
the  slat  houses,  but  mostly  as  to  the 
ability  to  establish  the  plants  in  their 
pots  without  bottom  heat.  For,  be  it 
understood,  a  palm  must  have  a  good 
root  action,  must  have  filled  its  pot 
with  fine,  healthy  working  roots — in  a 
word,  it  must  be  established — or  it  will 
not  give  satisfaction  to  its  purchaser. 

The  Method  Employed. 

Bassett  &  Washburn  sa^  the  produc- 
tion schedule  they  hope  to  reach  in  a 
year  or  two  will  go  only  a  short  way 
toward  meeting  the  demands  of  the 
trade  and  they  point  to  the  records  of 
the  Federal  Horticultural  Board,  which 
show  annual  pre-war  imports  of  many 
hundreds  of  thousands  of  palms.  As  to 
their  ability  to  establish  the  plants  with- 
out bottom  heat,  they  believe  they  have 
proved  it.     Two   of  the   accompanying 


illustrations  show  plants  at  the  potting 
stage  and  after  ten  months  in  the  pot. 

The  seedlings  are,  when  ready,  potted 
into  214-inch  pots  and  are  kept  there 
twelve  to  eighteen  months,  at  which 
time  they  have  a  strong  ball  of  roots 
and  are  planted  out  in  the  place  they 
are  to  remain  four  to  five  years.  AVhen 
they  are  dug  for  potting  they  nave  four 
or  six  large  tap  roots,  six  to  eighteen 
inches  long,  too  stiff  to  bend  for  pot- 
ting into  6-inch.  One  of  the  illustra- 
tions shows  such  a  plant  so  dug  as  to 
preserve  the  roots,  with  the  soil  washed 


out.  The  native  sons  have  not  thought 
such  a  plant  could  go  into  a  6-inch  pot; 
they  have  used  7-inch  or  8-inch  and 
produced  the  overpotted  effect  most  re- 
tailers are  familiar  with.  Bassett  & 
Washburn  root-prune  the  plants  with 
the  spade  when  digging.  They  cut  the 
ball  of  soil  and  the  roots  to  fit  the  pot, 
a  6-inch.  In  a  way,  it  looks  like  mur- 
der, but  it  proves  to  be  not  hurtful. 
The  cutting  of  the  tap  roots  by  a  skill- 
ful man  seems  to  result  in  increased 
production  of  fine,  hairlike  roots,  which, 
in  a  year,  plunged  to  the  rim  in  the  lath

house,  completely  fill  the  pot.  The  sec- 
ond illustration  shows  a  plant  after  ten 
months  in  the  pot,  with  the  soil  washed 
out  to  let  the  root  development  be  seen. 
Of  course  bottom  heat  could  be  ap- 
plied if  it  proved  to  be  necessary  or 
desirable,  but  the  merit  of  the  natural 
method  lies,  first  of  all,  in  its  economy 
and,  secondly,  in  the  hardy  character  of 
the  plants  produced. 

Heat  for  tho  Seedlings. 

As  a  matter  of  fact,  Bassett  &  Wash- 
burn have  recently  arranged  for  heat 
in  the  earliest  stages  of  the  growth  of 
the  plants.  Heretofore  the  seed  beds 
were  made  in  the  lath  houses,  but  the 
germination  was  not  satisfactory.  Pro- 
verbially the  slowest  of  the  palms  to 
germinate,  their  kentias  did  not  give 
them  more  than  thirty-five  per  cent.  A 
majority  of  the  seedlings  came  in  the 
first  year,  but  germination  continued 
during  the  next  two  years  at  such  a 
rate  that  the  duds  were  not  thrown  out 
until  three  years  had  passed.  In  the 
expectation  of  better  results,  some  of 
the  material  from  greenhouses  the  firm 
dismantled  at  Hinsdale,  111.,  was  shipped 
to  Sierra  Madre  and  reerected  for  the 
seedlings.  The  seed  beds  recently 
brought  into  use  are  of  the  type  em- 
ployed in  the  east,  with  pipes  below  and 
boarded  in.  There  is  space  under  glass 
also  for  the  seedlings  during  their  time 
in  21^-inch  pots. 

To  raise  the  percentage  of  germina- 


to  smooth  the  way,  because  it  is  on  the 
success  of  such  undertakings  as  this 
that  the  board  depends,  in  a  way,  for 
justification  of  its  action  in  prohibiting 
plant  importation. 

Source  of  the  Seeds. 

The  seed  thus  far  obtained  has  been 
of  decidedly  poor  quality.  It  has  looked 
as  though  it  had  been  scraped  up  from 
the  ground  beneath  the  trees  and 
shipped  without  cleaning.  Each  bushel 
contains  from  4,000  to  4,500  seeds. 
There  is  only  one  place  in  the  world 
whence  comes  the  supply  of  seeds.  This 
is  the  Lord  Howe  Island,  from  which 
these  palms  take  the  name,  howea,  by 
which  they  are  known  in  the  botanical 
dictionaries.  The  modern  name,  kentia, 
is  for  William  Kent,  founder  of  the 
English  style  of  landscape  gardening. 
The  Lord  Howe  Island  is  located  in  the 
Pacific  ocean  about  500  or  600  miles 
northeast  of  Sydney,  Australia.  It  is 
only  five  square  miles  in  area,  but  the 
kentias  in  this  little  island  grow  to 
the  height  of  fifty  to  sixty  feet  and 
produce  the  seed  supply  of  the  world. 
These  seeds  are  gathered  by  the  na- 
tives, bought  by  traders  on  the  island 
and  shipped  under  the  care  of  the  Brit- 
ish government,  as  the  Lord  Howe  Isl- 
and is  British  territory.  The  seeds  are 
shipped  to  Sydney  on  small  steamers 
which  only  call  at  the  island  once  a 
month  or  once  in  two  months,  so  that 
there    is    considerable    delay    from    the

tion  will  be  important.  As  many  as  150 
bushels  of  seeds  have  been  imported 
and  planted  in  a  single  year.  Double 
the  germination  and  half  as  many  seeds 
would  have  suflBced. 

It  is  said  that  Bassett  &  Washburn 
obtained  the  greater  part  of  all  the 
kentia  seeds  which  came  to  the  United 
States  this  year.  The  importations  did 
not  begin  to  arrive  until  after  the  quar- 
antine went  into  effect  and  the  Federal 
Horticultural  Board  did  all  that  it  could 


time  the  seeds  are  gathered  until  they 
arrive  in  Sydney.  They  are  then  sold 
to  exporters,  who  ship  them  to  all  the 
palm-growing  countries  of  the  world. 
The  whole  proceeding  usually  takes 
from  three  to  six  months  before  the 
seeds  are  delivered  in  the  United  States. 

Genesis  of  the  Industry. 

In  his  investigation  of  palm  growing 
in  California,  E.  B.  Washburn  found 
that   the    first    kentia   seeds   that   were 


planted  there  seem  to  have  been  started 
by  the  venerable  chaplain  of  a  Catholic 
school  for  girls,  at  that  time  located  at 
Riverside,  Cal.,  but  which  afterwards 
was  removed  to  Hollywood,  Cal.  This 
old  priest  is  still  alive  and  was  called 
on  by  Mr.  Washburn  and  Roy  Wilcox 
and  a  highly  interesting  history  of  the 
growing  of  kentias  was  told.  This  priest 
started,  some  twenty  or  twenty-five 
years  ago,  at  Biverside,  but  found  that 
the  severe  changes  in  temperature  due 
to  Riverside  being  located  so  near  the 
desert  resulted  in  his  palms  being  dam.- 
aged  every  few  years.  When  the  school 
was  removed  to  Hollywood  the  nursery 
was  located  on  the  top  of  a  hill  over- 
looking the  town.  This  priest  stated 
that  at  Biverside  the  temperature  would 
drop  below  freezing  for  several  days 
almost  every  winter,  while  at  Holly- 
wood this  occurs  only  once  in  seven  or 
eight  years.  The  old  chaplain  finally  in- 
duced two  young  men,  brothers,  from 
Belgium,  to  take  over  the  nursery,  as  it 
was  becoming  too  large  for  him  to  take 
care  of.  This  was  the  start  of  the  grow- 
ing of  kentias  in  southern  California. 

Cleanliness  Essential. 

To  Mr.  Washburn  it  seemed  that  one 
of  the  best  features  of  growing  palms 
in  southern  California  is  that  they  can 
be  given  plenty  of  space  to  develop  in 
these  lath  sheds.  The  plants  then  grow 
symmetrically.  They  do  not  lose  their 
lower  leaves  and  spread  out  more  than 
where  crowded  in  costly  greenhouse 
space.  They  also  are  hardier  and  should 
stand  more  handling  and  shifting 
around,  thus  making  them  better  for 
decorative  purposes. 

It  seemed  to  Mr.  Washburn  that  all 
the  faults  of  California  palms  could  be 
corrected  by  careful  culture  and  he  set 
out  to  demonstrate  that  such  stock  can 
be  as  clean  and  as  perfectly  finished  as 
any  grown  in  a  greenhouse.  He  found 
that  all  they  require  is  ordinary  good 
care  and  plenty  of  water.  The  lath 
houses  are  fitted  up  with  lawn  sprinklers 
in  sections,  some  of  the  revolving  type 
and  some  in  fixed  position.  With  these 
any  area  may  so  easily  be  watered  that 
the  plants  never  are  neglected;  they 
need  it  frequently  in  summer  and  scarce- 
ly ever  in  winter. 

The  Proof  of  the  Pudding. 

The  principal  work  is  to  keep  the 
plants  clean — free  from  dust  and  free 
from  scale  and  mealy  bug.  There  are 
three  kinds  of  scale,  red,  black  and  the 
kentia  scale,  the  latter  taking  its  name 
from  its  fondness  for  this  plant  as  its 
host.  To  keep  the  scale  in  control,  a 
spray  of  rosin,  soap  and  caustic  is  ap- 
plied twice  each  spring  and  fall,  using 
a  force  pump.  At  other  seasons  the 
plants  are  gone  over  frequently  by  hand, 
using  the  same  mixture  as  a  wash,  ex- 
cept that  in  the  heat  of  summer  spray- 
ing with  water  and  the  hose  is  relied 
on,  to  avoid  injury  to  the  leaves.  They 
are  washed  with  the  hose  every  few 
weeks  to  remove  dust.  The  mottoes  at 
Sierra  Madre  are:  "An  ounce  of  pre- 
vention is  worth  a  pound  of  cure"  and 
"Cleanliness  is  next  to  godliness."  Ken- 
tias given  this  care  need  no  "hair  cut." 

C.  L.  Washburn  believes  that  the 
feasibility  of  palm  growing  in  southern 
California  already  is  demonstrated  and 
that  its  commercial  success  will  be 
proven  soon,  when  their  first  lot  of 
6-inch  stock  is  ready  for  shipment  east 
by  fast  freight  in  refrigerator  cars.    He

predicts  that  it  will  not  be  long  before 
southern  California  makes  palms  more 
plentiful  than  ever  before  in  the  his- 
tory of  the  trade  in  America — and  prob- 
ably cheaper — but  it  should  not  be  for- 
gotten that  six  to  eight  years  must 
elapse  from  seed  sowing  to  finished  plant 
and  that  not  many  men  in  this  hectic  era 
are  content  to  wait  so  long  for  returns 
on  their  investments. 

It  is,  of  course,  inevitable  that  the 
development  of  an  enterprise  of  such 
magnitude  as  that  of  Bassett  &  Wash- 
burn at  Sierra  Madre  should  entail  -a 
considerable  expenditure  of  capital,  but 
C.  L.  Washburn  onlj  sT^niles  when  that 
phase  of  the  matter  is  referred  to.  * '  We 
have  proved,"  he  says,  "to  our  own  sat-

LANCASTER    FLORISTS    VISIT. 


Chester  County  Entertains. 

At  the  invitation  of  the  Chester 
County  Florists'  Club,  forty-eight  flo- 
rists from  Lancaster  county,  Pennsyl- 
vania, and  their  wives,  motored  to  Ches- 
ter  county  Thursday,  October  30.  The 
first  call  was  upon  the  Conard  &  Jones 
Co.,  of  West  Grove,  where  Eobert  Pyle 
acted  as  host.  Their  houses  excited 
great  interest  with  the  large  variety  of 
plants  grown  in  small  pots  for  their 
extensive  catalogue  trade.  Antoine 
Wintzer,  who  has  been  so  successful 
with  his  hybridization  of  cannas, 
showed  his  new  varieties.  These  plants 
were  benched  indoors  and  were  cov- 
ered with  a  profusion  of  marvelously 
colored  blooms. 

The  party  stopped  next  to  see  the 
carnation  establishment  of  Eichards 
Bros.,  Toughkenamon,  where  an  iron- 
frame  house,  50x400  feet,  filled  with  35,- 
000  Matchless,  White  Perfection,  Mrs. 
Ward  and  Sagamore,  was  inspected. 
The  plants  showed  exceptional  vigor 
and  high  quality. 

At  Kennett  Square. 

Howard  Thompson's  home  and  range 
in  Kennett  Squate  were  interesting,  not 
only  for  the  flowers,  but  for  the  fine 
old  mansion,  the  well-kept  privet  hedges 
and  the  flock  of  fifty  plump  turkeys. 
The  chief  flowers  here  were  carnations 
and  sweet  peas.  A  number  of  specially 
constructed  tile  houses  are  being  built 
to  allow  for  the  more  extensive  growing 
of  mushrooms.  At  Lawrence  Thomp- 
son's, several  houses  of  excellent  car- 
nations were  inspected. 

The  party  was  then  entertained  at 
dinner  in  the  Hotel  Kennett,  after 
which  there  were  short  addresses  by  the 
Rev.  Mr.  Wilkinson,  Eobert  Pyle,  S.  S. 
Pennoek,  Mrs.  Albert  M.  Herr,  Arthur 
Niessen  and  Elmer  J.  Weaver. 

The  next  stop  was  at  William 
Swayne  's  range,  where  a  profusion  of 
excellent  mums  was  seen,  including 
some  particularly  good-looking  pom- 
pons. There  were  also  large  quantities 
of  potted  6-inch  callas  on  benches, 
already  blooming.  Another  call  in  Ken- 
nett Hquare  was  on  Yeatman  &  Way, 
where  there  were  immense  houses  of 
peas  and  mushrooms  and  a  large  house 
of  tomatoes,  well  set  with  fruit. 

Further  visiting  in  Kennett  Square 
was  prevented  by  the  Sesire  of  a  ma- 
jority of  the  party  to  call  on  A.  Har- 
vey &  Sons,  at  Brandywine  Summit.    At 


A  Kentia  Made  Up  from  Plants  Grown  Separately  in  the  Open. 


this  last  range,  Edmund  A.  Harvey 
showed  them  through  the  large  and  at- 
tractive rose  houses.  Then,  finally,  the 
forty-eight  representatives  of  Lancaster 
county  started  homeward  exceedingly 
well  pleased  with  Chester  county  and 
its  growers,  whose  hospitality  they  hope 
soon  to  return.  H.  K.  E. 


WASHINGTON,  D.  O. 


The  Market. 

There  has  been  a  great  demand  for 
American  Beauties.  Swainsona  is  scarce; 
it  is  almost  impossible  to  get  it.  Orchids 
are  getting  scarce  and  bring  from  $1.25 
to  $1.50  each.  Paper  Whites  and  sweet 
peas  are  coming  in.  The  market  con- 
tinues to  pick  up  as  cool  weather  comes. 
The  rose  and  carnation  supply  is  still 
on  the  increase.  There  has  been  an  in- 
crease in  out-of-town  business.  A  num- 
ber of  good  orders  were  shipped  during 
last  week. 

Various  Notes. 

The  "Say  It  with  Flowers"  week 
campaign  has  kept  all  the  florists  busy 
during  the  last  week.  The  delivery 
trucks  are  decorated  with  laurel  and 
carry  large  signs  advertising  the  cam- 
paign and  inviting  the  public  to  visit 
the  florists'  establishments.  The  shops 
are  highly  decorated  for  the  occasion. 
The  public  has  been  greatly  interested 
and  the  florists  have  worked  hard  to  im- 
press   the    real   meaning   and    value    of 


flowers  upon  the  people.  At  a  recent 
meeting  the  florists  unanimously  voted 
in  favor  of  decorating  every  church  and 
hospital  in  the  city.  This  was  done  free 
of  charge  and  the  delivery  was  made 
to  the  churches  in  time  for  the  services. 

George  C.  Shaffer  has  several  large 
decorating  jobs  on  hand. 

George  A.  Comley  has  been  having  a 
large  amount  of  funeral  work,  in  addi- 
tion to  several  important  weddings. 

The  S.  S.  Pennoek  Co.  is  receiving  a 
fine  supply  of  mums. 

The  first  Paper  Whites  and  sweet  peas 
of  the  season  arrived  at  the  Leo  Niessen 
Co.  store  last  week. 

The  Department  of  Agriculture's 
eighteenth  annual  chrysanthemum  show 
opened  October  28  and  lasted  one  week. 
Two  of  the  finest  seedlings  ever  pro- 
duced at  the  government  greenhouses 
were  reserved  to  be  named  for  the  king 
and  queen  of  Belgium.  Last  year  the 
show  was  not  hold,  on  account  of  the  flu 
epidemic,  and  accordingly  larger  crowds 
were  present  during  the  current  show  to 
view  the  great  number  of  varieties  of 
chrysanthemums  developed  by  special- 
ists of  the  Department  of  Agriculture. 
Many  of  the  local  florists  attended  the 
show  and  showed  great  interest.  There 
were  on  exhibition  126  varieties  of  large 
Japanese  mums  and  120  varieties  of  the 
smaller-sized  flowers.  The  outstanding 
feature  of  the  sljow  was  the  attractive 
white  mum  which  is  called  Mrs.  Wood- 
row  Wilson,  a  cross  of  Queen  Mary  and 
James  Wilson.    The  show  also  had  a  war

touch,  many  of  the  flowers  being  dedi- 
cated to  the  leaders  and  soldiers  of  the 
late  war.  A  bloom  of  outstanding  im- 
portance was  the  General  Pershing, 
which  was  named  after  the  general  at 
the  1917  show.  Another  handsome  mum 
is  the  Betsy  Boss,  from  Adrian,  Mich. 
The  Florists'  Club  of  Washington 
held  its  dinner  party  at  the  Dewey  hotel 
on  the  evening  of  October  27.  A  good 
many  out-of-town  florists  attended  the 
banquet,  including  several  prominent 
florists  from  Baltimore.  They  all  ex- 
pressed their  hearty  appreciation  and 
wished  the  Washington  boys  great  suc- 
cess with  their  flower  week  campaign. 
The  banquet  room  was  elaborately  deco- 
rated with  flowers  and  paintings  of  the 
flower  week  posters.  The  florists,  true 
to  their  slogan,  ' '  Say  It  with  Flowers, ' ' 
were  satisfied  to  make  their  after-din- 
ner speeches  brief.  Sufficient  flowers 
were  subscribed  to  provide  a  large  bou- 
quet for  each  ward  of  soldier  patients 
at  Walter  Eeed  hospital.         G.  V.  S.

DUIjUTH,   MINN. 


The  Market. 

There  was  a  slowing  up  of  business 
the  first  part  of  the  week,  owing  to  the 
unusual  weather  for  this  time  of  the 
year.  Snow  fell  for  two  days  and  was 
fifteen  inches  deep  in  some  parts  of  the 
city.  About  the  middle  of  the  week  a 
change  came  and  things  brightened 
wonderfully.  Chrysanthemums  are  in 
full  swing  and  some  fine  stock  is  being 
handled.  The  leading  varieties  are  Yel- 
low and  White  Turner,  Pink  and  White 
Chieftain,  Golden  Queen,  Chrysolora, 
BonnafFon  and  a  few  Marigold,  which 
are  of  exceedingly  good  quality.  A 
splendid  lot  of  pompons  are  coming  in, 
which  move  quickly.  Chrysanthemums 
have  been  much  better  in  quality  than 
in  other  years. 

Carnations  continue  to  improve  and 
sell  well  at  $1.50  per  dozen.  The  first 
shipment  of  double  violets  arrived  last 
week,  but  they  are  only  of  moderate 
quality,  being  a  little  early.  Valley 
is  still  scarce  and  cattleyas  are  a  little 
easier. 

The  quality  of  all  grades  of  roses  was 
better  last  week  and  some  fine  stock 
was  seen.  Such  varieties  as  Columbia, 
White  Killarney,  Premier,  Eussell  and 
Ophelia  are  extra  good,  both  long  and 
short-stemmed,  and  are  selling  excep- 
tionally well.  American  Beauties  are 
in  plentiful  supply  and  the  stock  is 
good. 

In  plants,  primulas  and  cyclamens 
take  the  lead.  The  supply  is  equal  to  the 
demand.  Potted  chrysanthemums  are 
also  coming  along.  .Funeral  work  has 
been  brisk  all  the  week.  In  greens  the 
supply  is  equal  to  the  demand,  except 
smilax,  which  is  scarce.  There  was 
a  slowing  up  in  the  sale  of  bulbs,  on 
account  of  the  heavy  fall  of  snow. 

Various  Notes. 

The  Alpha  Floral  Co.  reports  busi- 
ness exceedingly  good  and  a  great  im- 
provement over  last  year.  They  are 
showing  some  extra  fine  chrysanthe- 
mums and  roses.  A  basket  of  single 
pink    chrysanthemums     artistically     ar- 


ranged in  the  center  of  the  window  was 
quite  effective. 

The  Duluth  Floral  Co.  is  showing  a 
fine  lot  of  cemetery  wreaths  made  of 
magnolia  leaves,  pine  cones,  cycas 
leaves,  etc.  At  this  time  of  the  year 
this  kind  of  wreath  is  in  great  demand. 

The  Quality  Flower  Shop  reports 
business  entirely  satisfactory.  They 
have  a  large  display  of  chrysanthemums 
and  roses.  They  have  decided  to  give 
up  the  candy  department  entirely  and 
will  remodel  the  store  with  mirrors  and 
wall  fixtures  suitable  for  the  florists' 
business.  J.  E.  S. 

MEETING  AT  DES  MOINES. 

The  Iowa  Horticultural  Society,  work- 
ing with  the  Society  of  Iowa  Florists, 
will  hold  its  annual  autumn  show  No- 
vember 11  to  13  at  the  Coliseum  in  Des 
Moines.  The  officers  are  looking  for- 
ward to  a  splendid  meeting,  one  full  of 
"pep"  and  enthusiasm. 

At  the  banquet  Wednesday  evening, 
November  12,  J.  F.  Ammann,  president 
of  the  S.  A.  F.,  will  give  an  address  on 
the  subject,  "Cooperative  Publicity." 
Mr.  Ammann,  having  just  returned  from 
the  meeting  of  the  F.  T.  D.  in  Buffalo, 
will  be  eager  and  enthusiastic  to  pass 
on  to  Iowa  florists  some  of  the  many 
good  things  from  that  meeting. 


Let  us  have  a  good  number  of  Iowa 
florists  present  and  show  our  national 
president  that  the  florists  of  this  sec- 
tion are  alive.  J.  T.  D.  Fulmer,

THE  WORLD  ABOUND. 

For  some  unexplained  reason,  adver-

course  The  Eeview  is  read  in  every 
country  where  there  are  people  who 
want  to  keep  iv^  touch  with  trade  af-

er Exchange,  and  observed  that  both 
the  repast  and  the  dividend  declared 
were  satisfactory.  The  chrysanthemums 
grown  by  William  Nicholson,  of  Fram- 
ingham,  Mass.,  were  a  show  in  them- 
selves. Bonnaffon  brought  $8  per  dozen 
wholesale  and  Touset,  Early  Frost  and 
Brutus  ranged  from  $5  to  $8  per  dozen, 
with  quick  sales  at  that.  Some  stock 
was  noted  that  sold  at  the  rate  of  five 
dozen  for  $2.50,  a  price  that  gives  one 
an  idea  of  the  range  of  prices  and 
quality  of  stock.

There  does  not  seem  to  be  any  prospect

STRIKE  REVIVES  COAL  ORDERS 


PRICES  Fi;XED  ON  FUEL. 


Priority  Classes  Revived. 

When  the  strike  of  bituminous  coal 
miners  throughout  the  United  States  be- 
came a  certainty,  the  federal  administra- 
tion reverted  to  war-time  measures  to 
provide  as  far  as  possible  for  the  normal 
needs  of  the  public  and  of  industry. 
Fuel  Administrator  Garfield  signed  an 
order  October  31  which  revived  the  dis- 
tribution and  diversion  orders  of  the 
fuel  administration,  under  which  the  old 
list  of  priorities  immediately  became  ef- 
fective. President  Wilson  signed  an  ex- 
ecutive order  setting  maximum  prices 
for  soft  coal  in  various  states. 

The  seizure  of  coal  in  transit  was 
made  the  subject  of  a  general  order  to 
all  roads  under  government  control,  and 
such  coal  will  be  taken  by  the  govern- 
ment as  an  eminent  right  to  protect  the 
public  from  injury  and  suffering.  As 
soon  as  it  appears  that  stocks  of  coal  are 
being  dangerously  reduced  in  any  sec- 
tion of  the  country,  or  in  any  vital  in- 
dustry, the  government  will  proceed  to 
control  all  distribution,  not  only  of  what 
coal  may  be  mined  while  the  strike  is 
in  progress,  but  also  of  coal  held  in  pres- 
ent stocks.  The  railroads  are  cautioned 
not  to  seize  coal  unless  their  own  stocks 
are  depleted  to  a  point  that  makes  the 
summary  action  necessary  in  order  to 
keep  trains  moving. 

Summer  Prices  Maintained. 

The  maximum  prices  set  in  the  exec- 
utive order  of  President  Wilson  are 
those  which  have  been  prevailing  dur- 
ing the  summer  and  in  the  autumn  up  to 
the  time  the  proximity  of  the  miners' 
strike  caused  increases.  These  figures 
are  set  merely  to  prevent  profiteering 
by  coal  dealers  when  the  scarcity  of  coal 
would  enable  them  to  push  fuel  prices  to 
an  extortionate  degree. 

As  yet,  anthracite  prices  are  not  af- 
fected. Should  the  scarcity  of  soft  coal 
influence  them,  the  administration  will, 
Dr.  Garfield  says,  thereupon  set  maxi- 
mum figures  to  prevent  profiteering. 

The  maximum  prices  are  fixed  by 
states  and  for  prepared  sizes  range 
from  $4.60  a  net  ton  at  mine  mouth  to 
$2.60. 

Distribution  of  Coal  Directed. 

Director-General  Hines  has  issued  an 
order  to  the  railroads  instructing  them 
in  regard  to  the  distribution  of  coal  now 
in  transit.  For  the  present  the  regula- 
tions of  the  administration  will  affect 
only  coal  now  in  transit  or  such  as  is 
mined  while  the  strike  is  in  progress. 
Mr.  Hines'  order  was  as  follows: 

"In  order  to  interfere  as  little  as  pos- 
sible with  the  normal  course  of  coal 
traffic,  the  railroad  administration  up  to 
the  present  time  has  permitted  coal  to 
go  to  the  designated  consignees.  For  the 
last  two  weeks  open  top  equipment  has 
been  devoted  to  coal  loading  to  the  ex- 
•lusion  of  other  classes  of  traffic  and  the 
movement  of  such  equipment  has  been 
expedited  so  as  to  facilitate  the  maxi- 
nnim  production  of  coal.    The  result  has 


been  an   exceptionally  heavy  coal  pro- 
duction, 

"It  having  become  necessary,  how- 
ever, to  be  prepared  to  insure  against  all 
temporary  contingencies,  that  the  trans- 
portation service  be  protected,  regional 
directors  have  now  been  instructed  to 
see  that  each  railroad  shall  accumulate 
a  necessary  reserve  of  coal  when  it  is 
not  already  on  hand,  purchasing  such 
coal  if  possible,  and  otherwise  holding 
coal  in  transit.  The  practice  thus  re- 
sorted to  is  a  practice  which  railroads 
have  always  employed  in  emergencies 
whether  under  private  or  public  control 
and  has  been  recognized  as  indispensable 
to  the  maintenance  of  an  essential  pub- 
lic service. 

Priority  Order. 

"In  holding  such  coal,  exemptions 
will  be  made  as  far  as  possible  of  coal 


SOFT  COAL  PRICES  FIXED 

IVIaximum  prices  fixed  by  the 
executive  order  of  President  Wil- 
son October  31  govern  bituminous 
coal.  Prices  of  anthracite  are  not 
affected.  The  lowest  and  highest 
prices  by  states  are  as  follows: 

Alabama   $2.45@4.35 

Colorado 1.60@4.60 

Illinois  (lowest) 2.05 

Kentucky  .  ^ 2.30@4.50 

Ohio   2.65@3.65 

Pennsylvania    3.25@3.65 

Tennessee    2.75@4.50 

West  Virginia 2.45@3.00 

Virginia 2.10@3.90 

The  maximum  prices  restored 
are  approximately  those  prevail- 
ing during  the  summer  and  until 
recent  rises  owing  to  the  threat- 
ened strike.  The  object  of  the  or- 
der was  to  prevent  profiteering  or 
increases.

light,  heat  and  water  for  public  use. 

"5.  Producers  and  manufacturers  of 
food,  including  refrigeration. 

"6.  National,  state,  county  and  mu- 
nicipal government  emergency  require- 
ments. ^ 

"7.  Bunkers  and  other  marine  emer- 
gency requirements  not  specified  above. 

"8.  Producers  of  newsprint  paper  and 
plants  necessary  to  the  printing  and 
publication  of  daily  newspapers, 

"Coal  held  in  transit  is  not  to  be  un- 


loaded in  storage  nor  used  until  actually 
needed,  so  that  if  its  use  is  later  found 
necessary  it  can  be  forwarded  to  desti- 
nation whenever  practicable. 

"Instructions  issued  provide  that 
there  will  be  as  little  disturbance  as  pos- 
sible in  the  distribution  of  coal,  but  at 
the  same  time  protecting  the  necessities 
of  the  railroads,  which  have  a  public 
duty  to  perform." 

Shipments  Cut  Off, 

This  order  cuts  off  further  delivery  to 
coal  yards  or  to  commercial  consumers 
except  by  order  of  the  administration's 
representatives.  Coal  will  be  distrib- 
uted only  to  commercial  consumers 
who  have  no  reserve  supply. 

Such  florists  as  have  in  their  season's 
stock  will  not  be  concerned  in  the  ad- 
rninistration's  orders,  for  no  seizures 
will  be  made  until  the  coal  in  transit, 
which  is  a  large  quantity,  is  used. 
Greenhousemen  who  are  not  provided  for 
the  present  emergency  should  make  ap- 
plication at  once  to  the  railroad  by 
which  their  deliveries  are  made  for  ad- 
ditional supply. 

A  regional  coal  committee  is  to  be 
set  up  in  each  of  the  regional  railroad 
districts,  with  centers  in  Chicago,  St. 
Louis,  Cleveland,  Pittsburgh,  Atlanta, 
Eoanoke,  Philadelphia,  Boston  and  New 
York. 

Dr.  Garfield  will  have  a  representative 
on  each  and  the  regional  directors  will 
appoint  the  other  members.  These  eight 
bodies  will  act  in  conjunction  with  a 
central  coal  committee  in  Washington. 

System  of  Distribution. 

The  system  of  distribution  outlined 
by  Director-General  Hines  is  as  follows: 

"Bituminous  coal,  including  lignite, 
taken  and  held  in  accordance  with  the 
instructions  of  the  director-general  of 
October  29  and  31,  will  be  handled  by 
the  director-general  and  the  regional 
directors  through  the  agency  of  a  cen- 
tral coal  committee  at  Washington  and 
regional  coal  committee  which  will  be 
established  jointly  by  the  regional  direc- 
tors and  the  fuel  administration.  Such 
regional  coal  committee  will  comprise 
the  following  representatives:  One  ap- 
pointed by  the  United  States  fuel  ad- 
ministration and  such  others  as  the  re- 
gional director  may  select  to  handle 
matters  of  purchase,  distribution  and 
accounting. 

"The  bituminous  coal  held  must  be 
distributed  only  to  those  consumers 
who  have  no  reserve  supply  and  must 
have  coal  to  meet  their  emergency  needs. 
The  following  order  of  preference  shall 
govern  the  regional  coal  committee  in 
such  distribution  as  they  may  make 
within  their  jurisdiction  for  emergency 
consumption  in  the  United  States  and 
Canada: 

"(a)  Eailroads,  (b)  army  and  navy, 
together  with  other  departments  of  the 
federal  government,  (c)  state  and  coun- 
ty departments  and  institutions,  (d) 
public  utilities,  (e)  retail  dealers,  (f) 
manufacturing  plants  on  war  industries 
board's  preference  list,  (g)  manufactur- 
ing plants  not  on  war  industries  board's

(j)  tidewater. 

Directions  for  Shippers. 

* '  When  commercial  coal  is  diverted  to 
other  than  original  consignee,  promptly 
notify  shipper  and  original  consignee 
of  each  car  and  keep  adequate  record 
for  later  settlement. 

"Originating  coal  roads  should  hold 
a  considerable  portion  of  the  commercial 
coal  near  coal  way  billing  points,  avail- 
able for  prompt  distribution. 

"Intermediate  and  terminal  carriers 
should,  as  far  as  practicable,  move  com- 
mercial coal  to  and  hold  it  in  the  vicin- 
ity of  points  most  convenient  for  prompt 
rehandling  and  distribution. 

"Coal  must  not  be  delivered  to  com- 
mercial consumers  either  in  accordance 
with  the  priority  list  or  otherwise  except 
with  specific  authority  from  the  coal 
committee  having  jurisdiction. 

"Regional  directors  will  immediately 
notify  each  railroad  under  federal  con- 
trol of  the  regional  committee  with 
which  it  shall  deal. 

Applications  for  Delivery. 

"Applications  to  regional  coal  com- 
mittees for  delivery  of  coal  to  commer- 
cial consumers  must  be  made  through 
the  railroad  which  will  make  delivery  of 
the  coal;  such  applications  must  show 
complete  and  accurate  information  with 
respect  to  the  preferred  nature  of  the 
requirements,  the  amount  of  coal  which 
the  applicant  has  on  hand,  and  the 
amount  which  the  applicant  requires  for 
the  preferred  use,  together  with  the 
rate  of  consumption  and  the  kind  and 
size  of  the  coal  desired. 

"Coal  diverted  for  commercial  uses 
shall  be  paid  for  in  accordance  with  the 
fuel  administrator's  order  dated  Janu- 
ary 14,  1918.  In  order  to  insure  pay- 
ments, coal  shall  be  diverted  for  com- 
mercial use  to  such  applicants  only  who 
shall  satisfy  the  federal  or  general  man- 
ager of  their  financial  responsibility  or 
who  shall  deposit  a  certified  check  or 
other  satisfactory  security  in  such  sum 
as  will  insure  full  payment  for  any 
coal  furnished.  The  applicant  shall 
make  definite  written  obligation  to  pay 
the  shipper  for  the  coal  promptly  upon 
presentation  of  bill.  The  legal  trans- 
portation charges,  including  war  taxes, 
from  mines  to  point  of  delivery  to  the 
applicant,  will  be  collected  on  delivery 
in  the  usual  way." 

Normal  Stock  on  Hand. 

The  government  reports  show  that 
stocks  of  bituminous  coal  are  not  fai' 
from  normal  at  this  time.  It  is  true  that 
production  this  year  has  been  only 
seventy-four  per  cent  of  that  of  last 
year,  but  it  must  be  remembered  that 
there  has  been  a  tremendous  cessation  of 
war-time  manufactures  and  a  consequent 
slump  in  demand  for  coal.  The  reports 
all  summer  have  shown  this.  Production 
down  to  October  18,  the  last  week  for 
which  there  are  reports,  was  378,000,000 
tons  for  1919,  as  compared  with  482,000,- 
000  for  the  same  months  last  year.  There 
has  been  a  heavy  shortage  every  month 
this  year  in  bituminous  coal.  In  Janu- 
ary it  was  11,000,000  tons;  in  February, 
12,000,000;  March,  15,000,000;  April,  13,- 
000,000;  May,  14,000,000;  June,  14,000,- 
000,  and  July,  12,000,000  tons. 

Supplies  held  by  florists  are,  as  a  rule, 
good  for  this  time  of  year,  most  of  the 
trade  having  heeded  the  warnings  of  a 
fuel  shortage  given  in  the  late  summer. 


If  the  strike  is  not  of  long  duration  the 
trade  will  not  suffer  much.  Should  it 
be  prolonged,  however,  those  who  put 
off  securing  their  season's  requirements 
will  have  to  seek  further  supplies  in 
accordance  with  the  method  outlined 
above. 


TOBONTO,  ONT. 


The  Market. 

Business  has  been  excellent  and  the 
supply  of  flowers  is  improving,  but  is  not 
yet  up  to  the  demand.  There  have  been 
some  big  receptions  and  weddings,  mak- 
ing a  good  demand  for  the  finer  varieties. 
The  increase  in  the  supply  of  mums  has 
helped  considerably.  There  have  been 
some  beautiful  specimens  of  Turner  dis- 
played in  the  windows  during  the  last 
week. 

The  stores  along  Yonge  street,  King 
street  and  Queen  street  all  report  a 
greater  volume  of  business  this  fall  than 
in  any  previous  autumn  and  state  that 
the  only  thing  preventing  a  greater  sale 
of  flowers  is  the  short  supply.  This  will 
be  overcome  to  some  extent  by  the 
greater  glass  area,  which  will  be  avail- 
able for  growing  at  an  early  date. 

Club  Meeting. 

The  Toronto  Retail  Florists '  Club  will 
hold  a  "Say  It  with  Flowers"  day 
Friday,  November  7,  and  it  will  be  cele- 
brated in  a  rather  unusual  manner.  The 
members  will  assemble  at  the  club  rooms 


at  2  p.  m.  and  then,  with  their  motor 
cars  and  trucks  all  decorated,  wdll  pro- 
ceed to  the  different  hospitals,  where  the 
lady  members  will  distribute  flowers. 
J.  A.  Neal  will  act  as  flower  secretary. 

A  combined  business  and  social  meet- 
ing of  the  club  was  held  October  27,  with 
President  Dillemuth  in  the  chair.  One 
of  the  chief  items  of  business  was  the 
discussion  of  arrangements  for  the  big 
flower  show  to  be  held  in  Toronto, 
November  11  to  15,  under  the  manage- 
ment of  the  Ontario  Horticultural  Ex- 
hibition Association.  A  carload  of  trees 
for  decorative  purposes  has  arrived  and 
has  been  unloaded  by  George  Gard  and 
J.  J.  Higgins. 

Alex.  Simpson,  secretary  of  the  Gar- 
deners* and  Florists'  Association,  was 
present  at  the  meeting  and  brought  with 
him  several  suggestions.  One  of  these 
was  that  the  club  take  charge  of  the 
light  refreshment  booth.  This  will  be 
done  under  the  chairmanship  of  Miss 
GaflBkin.  Another  was  regarding  the 
signs.  These  will  be  supplied  to  the 
club  in  two  sizes,  the  large  ones  for  the 
store  windows  having  on  them  baskets 
of  mums  in  colors.  A  committee,  consist- 
ing of  Messrs.  Geraghty,  James  and 
Higgins,  will  take  up  with  the  growers 
the  question  of  other  signs. 

The  treasurer  reported  a  handsome 
sum  on  hand,  in  addition  to  over  $350 
for  a  piano  for  the  club  rooms. 

On  account  of  the  show,  a  combined 
meeting  will  again  be  held  November  17.

in  conjunction  with  the  show  of  the

MORRIS  COUNTY  EXHIBITION. 


Largest  in  Society's  History. 

The  twenty-third  annual  flower  show 
of  the  Morris  County  Gardeners'  and 
riorists'  Society  was  held  in  the 
Armory,  Morristown,  N.  J.,  October  29 
and  30. 

The  annual  exhibition  of  this  society 
is  usually  one  of  the  most  important 
of  the  season  and  it  lost  nothing  from 
its  rating  this  year.  Customarily,  it  is 
held  in  James  hall,  Madison,  and  com- 
fortably fills  that  hall.  The  Armory  is 
two  and  ona-half  times  larger  than 
James  hall,  and  practically  every  avail- 
able foot  of  floor  space  was  used  for 
purposes  of  the  exhibition,  which  was 
the  biggest  in  the  history  of  the  so- 
ciety. 

No  New  Mums. 

The  chrysanthemums  were  somewhat 
poor  in  quality,  owing,  no  doubt,  to  the 
excessive  temperatures  for  some  time 
experienced,  and  many  rainy  days  just 
preceding  the  show  dates.  There  was 
little  or  nothing  in  the  way  of  novelties 
to  be  seen  in  this  section,  but  Sergeant 
Young,  light  bronze,  of  1918  introduc- 
tion, and  Corporal  Piper,  an  incurved 
yellow,  also  of  the  1918  list,  were 
prominent  among  the  best  varieties  ex- 
hibited, the  latter,  perhaps,  being  the 
best  in  the  show.  Both  were  shown  by 
the  C.  H.  Totty  Co.,  Madison,  N.  j". 
which  also  exhibited  a  splendid  group 
of  singles  and  pompons,  not  for  com- 
petition. 

Six  handsome  new  chrysanthemums 
in  the  single  and  pompon  section  were 
shown  by  the  C.  H.  Totty  Co.  and  were 
scored  by  a  committee  of  the  Chrysan- 
themum Society  of  America  for  certifi- 
cates. They  were:  Nelma  Putnam,  pink 
shading  to  white  at  .center;  Miss  Anna 


L.  Moran,  chestnut  bronze;  Mrs.  Harri- 
son, blush  white;  No.  116,  light  bronze; 
No.  10,  wine  red,  and  Mrs.  C.  Jameson, 
deep  gold. 

No  Orchid  Competition. 

The  display  in  the  orchid  class  was 
quite  good,  and  the  staging  excellent. 
There  were  no  commercial  entries,  al- 
though the  class  was  open.  Joseph  A. 
Manda,  West  Orange,  N.  J.,  however, 
staged  a  table  of  Cypripedium  insigne 
SandersB  (not  for  competition),  and 
Lager  &  Hurrell,  Summit,  N.  J.,  had  a 
small  group  of  cypripediums  in  differ- 
ent varieties. 

As  might  be  expected  from  such  a 
rose-producing  district,  the  rose  display 
was  extensive.  Competition  in  a  special

The  cup  was  taken  by  the  C.  H.  Totty 
Co.  with  a  table  of  Premier,  Butterfly, 
F.  W.  Dunlop,  Double  White  Killarney, 
Columbia  and  Hadley.  Noe  &  Ruzicka 
were  second. 

In  the  vase  classes  there  were  some 
good  exhibits,  but  the  quality  of  the 
roses  was  not  up  to  the  usual  standard 
at  this  show.

The  C.  H.  Totty  Co.  staged  the  new

estal basket  with  a  bronze  ribbon  for 
decoration.  It  was  alone  on  the  floor 
and  was  much  admired. 

J.  M.  Barker  had  a  handsome  display 
of  filled  baskets,  centerpieces  and  other 
artistic  work.  • 

H.  C.  Holmes  staged  a  fine  group  of 
decorative  plants. 

The  leading  feature  of  the  show  was 
a  well-arranged  group  of  chrysanthe- 
mum plants  in  flower,  arranged  with 
foliage  plants  for  effect,  in  a  space  of 
seventy-five  square  feet  or  more,  staged 
by  Robert  Tyson,  gardener  to  Mrs.  H. 
McK.  Twombly,  Madison,  which  won 
first  prize. 

The  committee  in  charge  of  the  show 
was  Wm.  H.  Duckham,  Charles  H, 
Totty  and  Arthur  Herrington,  all  of 
Madison.  J.  H.  Pepper. 


NEW  YORK  FALL  SHOW  SMALL. 


Entries  Not  Numerous. 

The  fall  show  of  the  Horticultural 
Society  of  New  York,  held  in  the  Amer- 
ican Museum  of  Natural  History,  New 
York,  October  30  to  November  2,  was 
disappointing  to  those  accustomed  to 
seeing  a  fine  show  staged  by  the  so- 
ciety. Many  of  the  classes  were  un- 
filled and  the  exhibits  were  anything 
but  numerous.  The  immense  chrysan- 
themum plants  usually  exhibited  by 
Adolph  Lewisohn  and  Captain  De  Lamar 
were  missing,  and  the  beautiful  foyer 
of  the  museum  presented  a  bare  appear- 
ance in  consequence.  The  eastern  cor- 
ridor was  without  exhibits  at  all  and 
the  western  corridor  was  not  wholly 
used;  had  it  not  been  for  a  fine  exhibit 
of  dahlias  by  Mills  &  Co.,  of  Mama- 
roneck,  N.  Y.,  the  display  in  this  cor- 
ridor would  have  been  small.  One  or 
two  stagings  outside  of  the  classes 
helped  materially  in  the  make-up  of 
the  show. 

There  were  no  carnations  at  all,  no 
roses  in  the  commercial  vase  classes, 
except  in  the  class  for  new  varieties; 
an  extremely  small  display  of  orchids, 
and  but  little  in  the  way  of  decorative 
plant  exhibits.  A  few  small  specimen 
trained  plants  of  chrysanthemums  were

disposed  to  advantage  in  the  foyer,  the 
center  location  being  given  to  a  collec- 
tion of  orchids  from  Lager  &  Hurrell, 
Summit,  N.  J. 

The  Awards. 

In  the  chrysanthemum  classes,  the  C. 
H.  Totty  Co.,  Madison,  N.  J.,  won  firsts 
for  collections  of  singles  and  pompons, 
and  A.  N.  Pierson,  Inc.,  Cromwell, 
Conn.,  won  a  special  prize  for  a  collec- 
tion of  pompons. 

Joseph  A.  Manda,  West  Orange,  N. 
J.,  was  awarded  a  gold  medal  for  a  fine 
exhibit  of  Cypripedium  insigne  Sanderse 
and  showed  also  a  plant  of  x  new  hybrid 
cattleya,  Prince  John. 

A.  N.  Cooley,  Pittsfield,  Mass.,  won 
the  Moore  medal  for  a  new  orchid  plant, 
showing  Lajliocattleya  luminosa  Gold- 
en Glory,  crimson  purple  lip  with  crim- 
son shading  on  orange  yellow  sepals,  a 
most   beautiful   variety. 

A.  N.  Pierson,  Inc.,  staged  vases  of 
the  new  roses,  Pilgrim  and  Crusader, 
gaining  a  silver  medal  for  each.  The 
C.  H.  Totty  Co.  staged  vases  of  the  new 
roses,  Mme.  Butterfly  and  Frank  W, 
Dunlop,  each  of  which  was  awarded  a 
silver  medal. 

The  C.  H.  Totty  Co.  won  first  for  a 
vase  of  twenty  chrysanthemums,  one 
variety. 

Sweepstakes  Medal. 

Lager  &  Hurrell  won  the  society's 
silver  cup  for  a  collecion  of  not  less 
than  twenty-five  species  and  varieties 
of  orchid  plants,  covering  fifty  square 
feet  of  table  space.  The  firm  was 
awarded  the  sweepstakes  silver  medal 
for  the  best  orchid  plant  exhibited,  on 
Vanda  Lowei. 

Eobert  G.  Wilson,  Brooklyn,  N.  Y., 
staged  a  group  of  a  new  fern,  a  type 
of  Pteris  terminalis,  for  which  he  was 
awarded  a  silver  medal. 

Some  commendable  table  decorations 
were  exhibited  by  private  exhibitors 
in  the  open  class  provided.  It  is  to  be 
regretted  that  no  commercial  showing 
was  made  in  this  class. 

Anthony  J.  Manda  was  manager  of 
the  show.  J.  H.  Pepper. 


DENVER  ANNUAL  SHOW. 


Most  Successful  on  Becord. 

Denver's  annual  flower  show  at  the 
City  Auditorium  October  29  to  31  was 
the  most  successful  ever  held,  both  in 
quality  of  the  exhibits  and  in  attend- 
ance. The  show  was  free  to  exhibitors 
and  to  the  public,  the  City  Auditorium 
being  donated  under  those  conditions. 

Two  prizes  were  offered,  one  for  fifty 
Premiers  and  the  other  for  fifty  Carna- 
tion Denver.  The  prize  for  the  best 
fifty  Premiers  was  won  by  the  Mauff 
Floral  Co.  The  Elitch  Gardens  Green- 
houses also  had  a  splendid  lot  of  Pre- 
miers, hut  they  were  cut  a  little  tight. 
The  prize  for  the  best  fifty  Carnation 
Denver  was  won  by  Geo.  Brenkert,  the 
originator  of  this  variety. 

C.  F.  Maler  showed  a  table  of  ferns, 
cyclamens,  cypripediums  and  cattleyas. 
One  plant  worthy  of  special  notice  was 
a  Cattleya  labiata  with  fourteen  perfect 
flowers. 

S.  Knudscn,  of  Boulder,  Colo.,  had  a 
splendid  exhibit  of  Cattleya  labiata, 
Cattleya  Trianse  and  a  fine  specimen  of 
Onridium  varicosum  Rogersii. 

The  City  Park  Greenhouses  had  sev- 
•^ral  tables  of  novelty  muma.     Thev  also 


sent  in  large  palms,  begonias,  ferns  and 
a  large  number  of  good  mum  plants. 

The  Barteldes  Seed  Co.  filled  a  table 
with  ferns,  bulbs,  wreaths  and  autumn 
foliage. 

Attractive  Baskets. 

The  Alpha  Floral  Co.  showed  several 
artistic  baskets.  The  one  that  attracted 
the  most  attention  was  filled  with  fruits 
and  flowers. 

George  Cooper  exhibited  some  fine  bas- 
kets that  brought  the  people  back  for 
another  look. 

Boldt  &  Lundy  showed  some  fine  cycla- 
mens, Begonia  Cincinnati  and  baskets  of 
mums  and  roses. 

T.  H.  Trimmer  &  Son  had  several  good 
vases  of  roses. 

D.  S.  Grimes'  Son  had  a  table  filled 
with  fine  mums,  pompons  and  carnations. 

Graul  Bros,  had  a  fine  collection  of 
carnations  and  roses,  including  some 
good  Columbia  and  Premier. 

Many  Good  Mums. 

The  Fairmont  Cemetery  Greenhouses 
showed  a  splendid  lot  of  mums  and  pom- 
pons. 

The  Crown  Hill  Greenhouses  had  a 
splendid  showing  of  mums,  pompons, 
carnations  and  roses.  One  vase  of  Mar- 
igold was  especially  good. 

The  Elitch  Gardens  Co.  exhibited  a 
fine  lot  of  mums,  carnations  and  roses, 
including  some  splendid  Premier,  Key 
and  Columbia.  This  firm  also  had  a 
large  collection  of  palms,  ferns,  arau- 
carias,  cyclamens,  Begonia  Cincinnati 
and  Begonia  luminosa. 

The  Mauff  Floral  Co.  had  a  fine  ex- 
hibit of  palms,  ferns,  adiantum,  crotons 
and  cattleyas;  also  some  splendid  mums, 
carnations  and  pompons.  One  pompon 
in  this  collection,  called  Acto,  was  much 
admired  by  the  florists.  This  firm  with- 
out a  doubt  had  the  best  collection  of 
roses  ever  seen  in  Denver,  including 
Ophelias  and  Columbias  with  4-foot 
stems  and  perfect  flowers. 

Fine  Retail  Display. 

The  American  Flower  Shop  had  a 
large  signs,  ' '  Say  It  with  Flowers, ' '  the 
only  one  in  the  whole  show.  They  gave 
out  a  little  folder,  urging  the  people  to 
"Say  It  with  Flowers"  and  calling  at- 
tention to  the  F.  T.  D.  Their  merito- 
rious exhibit  included  nearly  everything 
a  flower  shop  is  supposed  to  handle — 
vases  and  baskets  of  flowers,  bouquets 
and  corsages,  and  Parisian  winter  bas- 
kets, a  specialty  of  this  firm.  The  whole 
exhibit  was  tastefully  arranged.  The 
firm  also  showed  for  the  first  time  gyp- 
sophila  prepared  in  all  colors  by  a 
process  of  their  own. 

The  Park  Floral  Co.  had  a  large  show- 
ing of  plants,  palms,  mums.  Begonia 
Lorraine,  Begonia  Cincinnati  and  a  fine 
lot  of  6-inch  Begonia  Chatelaine;  also 
a  fine  exhibit  of  corsages,  wedding  bou- 
quets, tastefully  arranged  baskets,  some 
vases  of  mums  and  roses  and  a  splendid 
table  decoration  of  Ophelia,  cattleyas 
and  Adiantum  Farleyense. 

From  Colorado  Springs. 

Frank  Crump,  of  Colorado  Springs, 
showed  some  good  carnations  and  mums. 

The  Glen  Eyrie  Greenhouses,  of  Colo- 
rado Springs,  exhibited  the  finest  mums 
at  the  show,  William  Turner,  Yellow 
Turner  and  white  and  pink  Chieftain. 

The  Pikes  Peak  Floral  Co.,  of  Colo- 
rado Springs,  had  a  meritorious  collec- 
tion of  mums,  pompons,  roses  and  car- 
nations,   two   artistic    baskets    of    Bon- 


naffon  mums  and  Ophelia  roses  and  a

The  Market. 

The  peculiar  character  of  the  fall 
market  is  again  showing  itself.  Supply 
and  demand  were  going  nicely  hand-in- 
hand  during  the  first  part  of  the  week, 
with  a  liberal  supply  in  fancy  roses 
only.  Now  it  is  almost  a  glutted  mar- 
ket, with  only  one  possible  outlet:  If 
the  demand  for  funeral  flowers  in- 
creases materially,  perhaps  we  can 
again  sail  smoothly.  But  of  course  the 
chrysanthemum  season  is  likely  to  bring 
a  glntted  market.  It  is  a  time  when 
every  grower's  stock  gets  a  setback, 
including  that  of  the  plantsmen.  At 
this  time,  however,  whether  there  is  a 
glut  or  not,  the  prices  are  fairly  firm. 
Stock  either  sells  or  does  not  sell.  The 
dealer  who  used  to  peddle  stock  to  the 
public  at  a  song  has  awakened  to  the 
fact  that  selling  anything  below  pro- 
duction prices  is  a  losing  game. 

Growers  and  Retailers  Meet. 

The  growers  and  retailers  met  again 
October  30  at  the  store  of  the  Wm.  F. 
Kasting  Co.  for  the  purpose  of  consid- 
ering what  procedure  should  be  adopted 
in  order  to  raise  a  substantial  adver- 
tising fund.  While  the  gathering  was 
not  as  large  as  the  former  meeting,  it 
was  large  enough  to  indicate  that  the 
subject  had  made  a  real  impression.  It 
was  a  stormy  night  and  no  doubt  many 
who  lived  on  the  outskirts  could  not 
come.  After  some  discussion  it  was 
unanimously  agreed  that  subscriptions 
should  be  made  voluntarily,  with  the 
object  in  mind  that  it  would  be  an 
linvestment  on  which  liberal  returns 
could  be  expected.  The  principal  obsta- 
cle to  the  plan  proved  to  be  the  friction 
caused  by  the  fear  that  the  other  fel- 
low was  not  giving  enough.  But  after 
all  was  said  and  done,  it  was  felt  that 
there  would  be  a  liberal  subscription, 
even  beyond  the  expectations  of  the 
most  optimistic. 

Various  Notes. 

The  Neubeck  greenhouses,  in  Wil- 
liamsville,  N.  Y.,  were  sold  last  week 
to  Charles  Sandiford  and  Oscar  Loewen- 
dorss.  Mr.  Loewendorss  has  been  for 
many  years  grower  at  the  Newlands 
greenhouses.  It  is  expected  that  he  will 
soon  take  charge  of  the  Neubeck  range. 

The  death  of  Leon  W.  Neubeck  Octo- 
ber 30  was  a  shock  to  his  parents  and 
his  many  friends.  Leon  was  the  son  of 
L.  H.  Neubeck  and  conducted  a  shop 
at  360  Connecticut  street.     The  funeral

NEW  YORK. 


The  Maxket. 

There  is  a  notable  decrease  in  the 
supply  of  outdoor  flowers,  due  largely 
to  the  heavy  rains  of  the  last  few  days, 
as  up  to  the  time  of  writing  this  report 
the  expected  killing  frost,  now  consid- 
erably overdue,  had  not  arrived.  The 
end  of  the  outdoor  supply,  however,  is 
believed  to  have  been  seen,  and  the 
market  is  stronger  in  all  lines,  although 
there  is  little,  if  any,  improvement  in 
the  general  demand.  The  reason  for  an 
unusually  poor  demand  for  flowers  at 
this  season  is  hard  to  find,  but  many  be- 
lieve that  the  labor  troubles  now  so  dis- 
turbing in  New  York  and  elsewhere  are 
to  some  degree  responsible. 

Chrysanthemums  now  dominate  the 
market.  Arrivals  are  heavy,  but  clear- 
ances are,  on  the  whole,  satisfactory. 
Prices  are  fair,  with  little  stock  mov- 
ing at  what  might  be  called  fancy  fig- 
ures; indeed,  the  flowers  coming  in  are 
hardly  up  to  the  standard  of  quality 
which  has  been  seen  in  other  seasons 
and  which  has  demanded  fancy  prices. 
The  variety  Bonnaffon  is  seen  in  fairly 
good  shape  and  brings  as  much  as  $4  per 
dozen.  Ivory,  McNiece,  Marigold  and 
Oconto  are  prominent  among  other  va- 
rieties offered.  There  is  a  wealth  of 
pompons  and  singles.  Among  the  lat- 
ter are  some  choice  varieties,  one  or  two 
realizing  50  cents  per  spray.  Pink  and 
white  Doty  appear  to  be  leaders  among 
the  pompons. 

Paper  White  narcissus  is  arriving  in 
quantity  and  sells  fairly  well  at  75  cents 
per  bunch  for  the  best.  Several  growers 
of  these  flowers  report  that  much 
planted  stock  is  coming  blind. 

Eoses  are  plentiful  and  for  several 
days  have  been  slow  in  movement, 
necessitating  concessions  in  price  to 
effect  clearances.  The  weather  has 
been  responsible  for  much  open  stock, 
which  has  been  difficult  to  move  at  any 
price,  resulting  in  considerable  waste. 
Good  American  Beauty  is  only  in  fair 
supply  and  the  price  for  specials  has 
moved  upward  a  few  points,  $60  per 
hundred  being  about  the  top  figure. 
Hybrid  teas  are  in  slightly  better  de- 
mand, with  prices  a  little  stronger. 
Short  grades  are  still  in  heavy  supply, 
but  move  fairly  well  when  the  stock  is 
good,  especially  white  varieties. 

Carnations  are  fairly  plentiful,  but 
the  quality  is  nothing  to  boast  of. 
Flowers  are  soft  and  much  inclined  to 
sleepiness,  for  which  the  weather  is 
blamed.  The  best  Mrs.  C.  W.  Ward  and 
Matchless  bring  $3  per  hundred,  the 
rest  $2  and  lower. 

A  few  multiflorum  lilies  are  arriving 
^Qd  bring  30  cents  or  more  per  flower, 
but  it  is  exceptional  business  which  pro- 
motes sales  at  such  a  price.    The  Easter 


lily  problem  is  a  serious  one,  as  with 
the  high  prices  asked  for  bulbs  plant- 
ings are  likely  to  be  limited.  Eubrum 
lilies  are  plentiful;  the  best  bring  $6  per 
hundred,  with  other  grades  down  to  $3. 
Lily  of  the  valley  is  in  better  supply, 
with  20  cents  per  spray  the  top  price. 

Orchids  continue  on  the  scarce  side 
and  the  supply  is  irregular.  There  are 
not  enough  cattleyas  to  go  around,  and 
the  top  price  remains  at  $2  each,  with 
little  available  below  the  $1  mark. 
Some  good  oncidium  sprays  are  coming 
in,  the  best  bringing  from  $8  to  $10  per 
hundred  flowers. 

There  is  an  increased  supply  of  sweet 
peas,  and  the  quality  is  somewhat  im- 
proved. The  best  bring  as  much  as 
$2.50  per  hundred  sprays.  Violets  are 
in  good  supply,  but  sales  are  not  active, 
as  the  quality  is  off;  the  best  move  at 
75  cents  per  bunch,  the  remainder  at 
anything  down  to  30  cents.  Bouvardia 
is  moving  fairly  well,  Humboldtii  bring- 
ing 50  cents  to  75  cents  per  bunch. 

A  few  dahlias  are  still  coming  in, 
but  the  trade  appears  to  have  tired  of 
them.     Calendulas  and  snapdragons  are

much  speculation  as  to  how  the  cases 
will  open  up.

The  Market. 


The  market  was  considerably  over- 
stocked last  week  and  many  flowers  went 
to  the  street  venders,  who  were  in  their 
glory.  The  weather  was  bad  throughout 
the  week  and  retailers  report  business 
dull.  There  has  been  no  killing  frost 
and  dahlias  continue  to  arrive  in  quan- 
tity. Outdoor  pompons  are  plentiful  and 
inquiries  come  every  day  from  small 
growers  who  have  a  few  and  would  like 
to  sell  or  consign  them;  it  keeps  one 
busy  trying  to  convince  them  the  market 
is  overloaded.  Chrysanthemums  con- 
tinue to  arrive  in  quantity.  Some  fine 
Turner  and  Old  Gold  are  available.  Car- 
nations are  moving  slowly.  Eoses  con- 
tinue to  arrive  in  quantity,  the  demand 
being  mostly  for  the  better  grades. 
American  Beauties  clean  up  fairly  well. 
Single  violets  sell  readily,  but  doubles 
are  moving  slowly.  Calendulas,  mari- 
golds and  zinnias  clean  up  well.  A  few 
asters  still  are  available.  Boxwood  is 
now  offered  in  quantity.  Asparagus  plu- 
mosus  has  been  much  in  demand.  Adian- 
tum  is  in  good  supply. 

Various  Notes. 

John  Scott,  of  Lisbon,  was  in  the  city 
on  business  last  week.  Mr.  Scott 
recently  returned  from  a  visit  to  Eng- 
land, where  he  was  with  his  parents, 
whom  he  had  not  seen  for  thirty-two 
years. 

H.  J.  Alford,  of  Garrettsville,  was  a 
visitor  last  week. 

The  Park  Flower  Shop  is  being  re- 
modeled. 

The  Daisy  Hill  Farms  are  cutting  some 
fine  pompons  and  Turners.       W.  F.  B.

RESULTS. 

We  give  them.    You  get  them. 

We  both  have  them. 

October  was  not  far  behind  June  this 
year  in  the  number  of  weddings. 

Some  growers  of  Paper  White  narcissi 
report  that  much  stock  is  coming  blind 
this  season. 

Absence  of  valley  for  wedding  decora- 
tions has  resulted  in  numerous  inquiries 
by  retailers  for  swainsona. 

Outdoor  stock  is  coming  to  an  end 
without  the  help  of  killing  frosts,  which 
have  not  yet  arrived  in  a  number  of  lo- 
calities. 

It  will  be  in  line  to  get  your  ruscus 
while  you  may.  It  is  an  Italian'  specialty 
and  the  crop  was  small  this  year.  Im- 
mortelles also  are  scarce. 

Neither  lycopodium  nor  holly  will  be 
so  scarce  as  in  the  last  two  years,  but  the 
price  must  continue  high  because  of  the 
increased  demands  of  labor. 

Without  a  mortality  demand,  October 
sales  records  set  high  marks  in  some  flo- 
rists' stores.  Those  whose  totals  were 
not  up  to  those  of  a  year  ago  find  them 
well  above  any  other  previous  season. 

The  expert  and  fluent  pen  of  Secretary 
A.  P.  Saunders  makes  the  bulletins  of 
the  American  Peony  Society  interesting 
and  instructive  reading.  Bulletin  No.  9, 
bearing  date  of  August,  1919,  just  out, 
carries  the  proceedings  of  the  annual 
meeting  and  report  of  the  society's  ex- 
hibition, which  are  put  in  a  form  that 
is  far  from  dry. 

In  the  printed  roster  of  its  164  mem- 
bers, the  St.  Louis  Florists '  Club  indicates 
by  one,  two  or  three  stars  after  his  name 
whether  a  member  belongs  to  the  St. 
Louis  Club,  the  S.  A.  F.  and  the  Missouri 
State  Florists'  Association,  and  asks,  "If 
you  have  not  three  stars,  why  not?" 
Membership  of  200  is  hoped  for  by  the 
thirty-fourth  anniversary,  June  28,  1920. 


MOVINO  THE  GLUT. 

When  frosts  hold  off  and  the  weather 
is  bright,  outdoor  stock,  chrysanthe- 
mums and  the  first  heavy  crop  of  roses 
combine  to  flood  the  markets.  Two  of 
the  factors  cause  difficulty;  the  three 
together  make  much  trouble.  The  stock 
that   is   too   abundant   to   be   moved   is 


often  of  good  quality — better  than  de- 
serves to  be  sacrificed  or  wasted. 

Is  there  a  way  to  move  this  stockf 
Milwaukee  thinks  so.  At  such  a  time 
cooperative  advertising  comes  to  the 
fore.  By  using  space  in  the  daily  news- 
papers at  the  critical  period,  the  local 
club  arouses  the  public's  interest  and 
gives  just  the  addition  to  the  natural 
impulse  to  buy  flowers  that  is  needed 
to  effect  sales. 

In  every  city  live  retailers  take  ad- 
vantage of  full  stocks  and  low  prices 
to  advertise  sales  and  thereby  aid  them- 
selves and  the  market.  But  vastly  more 
could  be  done  if  the  work  of  these  few 
individuals  could  be  multiplied  by  the 
cooperation  of  all  the  florists  of  the 
community.  Sufficient  space  could  then 
be  taken  to  benefit  the  entire  city's  re- 
tailers and  to  move  stock  in  such  quanti' 
ties  as  to  make  a  decided  impression  on 
the  glut. 

The  number  of  florists'  clubs  which 
are  discussing  raising  advertising  funds 
this  fall  make  one  hopeful  of  wide- 
spread results.  If  they  realize  they  hold 
in  cooperative  advertising  a  means  not 
only  of  developing  business  gradually 
but  also  of  combating  that  periodical 
bugbear,  a  glut,  they  will  consider  the 
project  much  more  interestedly. 


EXPBESS  CLAIMS. 

The  unsatisfactory  manner  in  which 
the  attorneys  of  the  Adams  Express  Co. 
are  attempting  to  dispose  of  claims  for 
loss  and  damage  against  it  is  causing 
much  concern  among  shippers  all  over 
the  country.  Anxiety  is  felt  on  account 
of  danger  of  the  limit  for  flling  suit,  two 
years  and  one  day,  expiring.  After  that 
period  there  is  no  recourse.  As  suits 
must  be  filed  in  New  York,  the  expense 
involved  would  be  too  great  in  propor- 
tion to  the  amount  of  the  claims  to  war- 
rant   such   action    by    indiviual   florists. 

For  this  reason  it  is  suggested  by  T. 
P.  Langhans,  of  the  Pittsburgh  Cut 
Flower  Co.,  that  some  concerted  action 
might  be  taken,  perhaps  through  the 
S.  A.  F.  Various  chambers  of  commerce 
of  cities  distant  from  New  York  are  ask- 
ing local  shippers  to  advise  them  of 
claims,  so  that  steps  may  be  taken  to 
protect  their  interests.  An  aggregate 
sum  of  money  of  considerable  size  might 
be  gained  for  the  trade  should  its  ship- 
pers unite  in  action  against  the  express 
company. 


KAILBOADS  TO  BE  INVOLVED? 

Whether  the  coal  strike  will  bring  to 
a  crisis  differences  between  the  admin- 
istration and  the  railroad  trainmen  is 
a  question  of  concern  to  florists.  Not 
only  would  the  shipping  business,  which 
is   increasingly   large   as    cold   weather 

iomes  on,  be  affected,  but  general  trade 
rould  assuredly  suffer  from  a  tie-up  of 
transportation  at  this  time. 

At  conferences  during  the  last  few 
c  ays  in  Washington  Director-General 
HHines  and  representatives  of  the  Broth- 
erhood of  Railroad  Trainmen  have  failed 
to  reach  any  basis  of  agreement.  Indi- 
cations are  that  Mr.  Hines  will  follow 
the  policy  adopted  by  President  Wilson 
on  the  labor  situation  during  the  shop- 
men's strike  and  refuse  to  meet  the 
trainmen's  demands  for  increased  wages. 
The  trainmen  are  likely  to  push  things 
while  the  government  is  in  charge  of  the 
roads,  realizing  that  failure  now  will 
mean  the  passing  of  their  best  oppor- 
tunity.   The  railroads,  immediately  after 


their  return  to  private  operation,  are 
not  expected  to  be  so  placed  that  de- 
mands of  labor  at  that  time  would  create 
any  public  sympathy,  while  the  period 
subsequent  to  January  1  is  that  of  the 
slackest  traffic,  when  a  strike  would  be 
least  effective  from  the  standpoint  of 
tying  up  the  nation's  arteries. 

Officials  of  the  brotherhood  have  not 
stated  whether  a  strike  would  be  called 
in  case  the  demands  were  not  granted, 
but  they  characterize  the  situation  as 
dangerous.  Though  they  stated  also  be- 
fore November  1  that  no  strike  would 
be  called  in  sympathy  with  the  coal 
miners,  upon  the  resort  of  the  govern- 
ment to  the  use  of  injunction  against  the 
leaders  of  the  striking  mine  workers, 
Warren  S.  Stone,  head  of  the  Brother- 
hood of  Railroad  Engineers,  informed 
Attorney  General  Palmer  that  he  could 
not  guarantee  that  the  membership  of 
the  railway  brotherhoods  could  be  held 
in  check  if  the  government  intended  to 
deal  with  labor  disputes  by  the  injunc- 
tion process.  He  did  not  threaten  a  rail- 
way strike,  but  he  left  no  doubt  that  it 
was  a  strike  he  had  in  mind. 

The  situation  is  fraught  with  a  num- 
ber of  possibilities,  any  one  of  which 
may  prove  as  a  lighted  match  to  the 
powder  magazine. 


ABMISTICE  DAT. 

Armistice  week  or  Armistice  day,  No- 
vember 11,  will  be  celebrated  in  many 
cities  in  the  country.  Whether  it  is  ob- 
served to  any  marked  degree  or  not  by 
civic  authorities,  it  may  be  made  an 
occasion  of  extra  business  for  the  flo- 
rist if  he  will  take  steps  to  cultivate  it. 
As  a  day  when  those  who  served  in  the 
war  may  be  honored,  when  the  memory 
of  those  who  still  lie  in  foreign  soil  may 
be  recalled,  when  the  mothers  who 
mourn  them  may  receive  tokens  of  sjon- 
pathy  in  their  loss,  Armistice  day  offers 
opportunities  to  the  trade  dependent 
only  in  part  upon  the  extent  to  which 
the  community  takes  steps  to  observe 
it.  The  florist  himself  can  develop  the 
observance  of  the  day  with  flowers  by 
newspaper  advertising,  by  circulariza- 
tion  and  by  suitable  window  display. 

Many  have  been  the  splendid  window 
decorations  made  by  florists  upon  the 
occasion  of  soldiers'  home-coming  dur- 
ing the  spring  and  summer.  Ones  simi- 
lar to  those  which  stirred  up  so  much  in- 
terest then  will  be  effective  in  stirring 
up  trade  for  the  retailer  now. 

What  the  trade  makes  of  this  first 
anniversary  of  Armistice  day  will  meas- 
ure largely  what  it  can  do  in  coming 
years  on  this  occasion.  Impetus  that  is 
given  its  observance  this  November  will 
add  to  the  likelihood  of  its  becoming 
a  yearly  benefit  to  the  trade.  It  is  a 
ground-floor  occasion.  The  trade  should 
endeavor  to  make  the  most  of  it. 


SURE  FIBE. 


The  Classified  ads  in  The  Review  are 
sure  fire,  the  most  dependable  of  sales- 
men; as  one  user  said,  "The  cost  and  the 
returns  to  advertisers  have  no  relation 
whatever."     They  work  like  this: 

One  Insertion  was  enough  to  clean  up  10.000 
plants. — H.  J.  Potomkin,  Muncle,  Ind.,  October 
25,    1919. 

Am  much  pleased  with  the  results.  Sold  out 
all  my  stock  and  had  orders  amounting  to  $75 
I  could  not  flU. — Ward  B.  Davis,  Oshkosh,  Wis., 
October   24,    1919. 

If  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.

N,  Leon  W.  Neubeck. 

Leon  W.  Neubeck,  of  Buffalo,  N.  Y., 
died  October  30.  He  was  the  son  of 
L.  H.  Neubeck  and  conducted  a  shop  at 
360  Connecticut  street.  The  funeral 
took  place  November  2  at  the  parlor  of 
Henry  Sauerwein,  at  934  Niagara  street. 

James  Nolan. 
James  Nolan,  for  nearly  forty-nine 
years  gardener  in  charge  of  the  grounds 
of  the  Rumford  Chemical  Works,  in 
Rumford,  East  Providence,  R.  I.,  died  at 
his  home  in  that  village  Saturday  morn- 
ing, November  1.  He  was  born  in 
County  Fermanagh,  Ireland,  but  came  to 
this  country  with  his  parents  when  only 
a  few  years  old  and  settled  at  Paw- 
tucket,  R.  I.  He  attended  the  public 
schools  of  Pawtucket  until  his  sixteenth 
year,  when  he  took  a  position  on  a  pri- 
vate estate  as  assistant  to  the  head  gar- 
dener. After  a  few  years  he  became 
head  gardener  for  the  Rumford  works.

The  Market. 

The  report  of  many  retailers  is  that 
business  for  October  was  better  than 
ever.  There  were  a  dozen  or  more  large 
jobs,  averaging  $500  or  over,  together 
with  a  good  amount  of  regular  work. 
The  market  was  steady  during  the 
month,  with  practically  no  gluts.  Chrys- 
anthemums are  on  the  increase,  with 
greater  amounts  being  sold,  which 
leaves  the  market  fairly  well  cleared. 
Pompons  are  about  equal  to  their  in- 
creased demand;  only  the  poorer  va- 
rieties are  slow  to  move  and  at  times 
even  those  find  a  buyer.  A  good  amount 
of  Chieftain  is  coming  into  the  market 
and  is  quickly  disposed  of.  This  is  true 
also  of  a  large  white  variety  named 
Emperor,  bringing  $5  per  dozen.  Good 
yellow  mums,  such  as  Chrysolora,  C.  C. 
Pollworth,  and  a  golden  yellow,  are 
scarce,  with  a  large  demand  and  only 
a  medium  grade  in  the  market. 

Roses  of  all  kinds  are  plentiful.  Amer- 
ican Beauties  of  the  best  quality  even 
find  the  demand  slow,  but  during  the 
day  almost  all  are  sold.  The  short- 
stemmed  Beauties  are  in  a  glut.  Long- 
stemmed  Hoosier  Beauty  and  Premier 
are  also  in  oversupply.  Columbia  roses 
are  few,  being  off  crop;  the  few  long- 
stemmed  ones  that  come  in  are  quickly 
sold.  High-grade  Shawyer  and  Ophelia 
are  in  oversupply,  the  demand  being 
slow,  as  is  usually  the  case  during  the 
mum  season.  Ward  is  scarce.  Sunburst 
is  used  to  fill  in  instead  of  Ward.  White 
roses  of  high  quality  are  plentiful,  as 
several  growers  are  cutting  them  in 
quantity.  Killarney  and  short-stemmed 
Russell  are  to  be  had,  but  are  not  much 
in  demand.  Safrano  and  Bon  Silene 
buds  are  plentiful,  but  they,  too,  are  a 
bit  slow  to  move. 

Carnations  stacked  up  during  the 
week  and  the  price  came  down  to  $2  to 
$6  per  hundred,  compared  with  $4  to  $8 
per  hundred  last  week.  Several  carna- 
tion growers  are  cutting  elegant  stock 
in  large  quantities,  but,  as  the  demand 


is  more  for  pompons,  the  carnations  tend 
to  glut  the  market.  Fortunately,  sev- 
eral large  orders  calling  for  carnations 
moved  a  good  quantity  of  them. 

Sweet  peas  are  of  best  quality,  but 
they,  too,  move  slowly.  Violets  clear 
each  day,  though  the  quality  ia  poor. 
Dahlias  continue  to  reach  the  market 
and  are  quickly  disposed  of,  as  they 
are  short  in  supply. 

Calendulas  sell  well,  a  good  quantity 
of  them  clearing  each  day.  Snapdragon 
and  bouvardia  are  scarce  and  are  quickly 
disposed  of.  Cosmos  is  in  oversupply, 
since  the  demand  has  stopped  sud- 
denly. The  first  cut  of  Paper  Whites 
came  in  during  the  week,  bringing  the 
high  price  of  $8  per  hundred.

Various  Notes. 

R.  Y.  Leslie,  of  the  Detroit  Green- 
houses, Redford,  Mich.,  is  bringing  in 
the  first  of  his  sweet  peas.  He  has  re- 
cently added  two  new  houses. 

The  Highland  Park  Floral  Co.,  2571 
Woodward  avenue,  held  its  annual  fall 
opening  October  18  and  19.  The  store 
was  well  stocked  with  baskets  of  mums, 
etc.,  also  a  good  line  of  mum  plants  and 
primroses.  Henry  C.  Wustrow,  the  pro- 
prietor, had  special  shipments  of  mums 
from  Krueger  Bros.,  of  Toledo,  O., 
which  were  specimen  stock. 

Albert  Stahelin,  of  Redford,  Mich., 
has  returned  from  his  trip  to  Chicago, 
where  he  visited  the  trade.  He  contin- 
ues to  supply  the  market  with  fine  long- 
stemmed  Premier  and  Hoosier  Beauty 
roses. 

T.  Browne,  of  Greenfield,  Mich.,  is 
cutting  excellent  mums  for  this  market. 
His  Chieftain  and  his  white  Emperor 
are  of  high  quality.  His  carnations  are 
in  full  crop  and  he  is  cutting  them  by 
the  thousands. 

George  Bayer,  of  Toledo,  O.,  is  ship- 
ping fine  mums,  both  large  and  pompon, 
to  this  market. 

Sidney  Beard,  of  Beard  Bros.,  has  a 
good  lot  of  plants,  especially  cyclamens. 
He     entertained    the     Detroit    Forists' 


Club  Tuesday,  November  4,  at  the  range 
out  on  Fort  street,  west. 

The  L.  Bemb  Floral  Co.  had  much 
work  for  the  opening  of  the  Parisian 
Co.,  on  Woodward  avenue,  as  did  sev- 
eral of  the  downtown  retailers. 

John  Breitmeyer's  Sons  had  orders 
for  the  opening  of  the  Parisian  Co.  and 
decorations  for  several  weddings  and 
other  social  affairs.  Philip  Breitmeyer 
is  back  after  a  motor  trip  to  Indiana. 
Elmer  Reihhardt,  one  of  the  old  relia- 
bles of  John  Breitmeyer's  Sons,  ia  at 
home  under  a  physician's  orders.  After 
a  quiet  rest  he  is  expected  to  be  back 
on  the  job. 

A  dozen  or  more  local  florists  were 
disappointed  by  express  shipments  from 
the  Chicago  market,  in  that  they  did 
not  arrive  until  Saturday  night,  too 
late  for  Saturday's  rush  business.

The  Market. 


The  market  has  been  heavily  sup- 
plied with  stock.  Except  for  one  or 
two  cool  days,  the  weather  has  been 
unseasonably  warm  and  flowers  of  prac- 
tically all  kinds  have  been  brought  to 
maturity  ahead  of  the  natural  time. 
That  there  has  been  an  immense  volume 
of  business  no  one  will  question  who  has 
noted  the  great  quantities  of  stock 
which  have  been  handled  each  day. 
Business  has  been  big,  but  the  demand 
has  not  been  large  enough  to  take  up 
all  the  flowers  offered,  with  the  result 
that  prices  have  sagged.  Nobody  wants 
to  see  values  go  down  to  a  point  where 
the  growers  will  not  have  an  incentive 
to  work,  but  there  have  been  times 
when  sacrifice  sales  were  necessary  to 
clean  up  the  accumulation.  This  has 
been  particularly  true  of  the  low  grade 
stock.  In  times  of  abundant  supply  the 
grower  who  produces  the  highest  qual- 
ity always  has  the  best  of  the  demand. 

It  is  the  height  of  the  chrysanthe- 
mum season.  Bonnaffon  and  the  popular 
midscason  sorts  began  arriving  in  quan- 
tity last  week.  There  are  extremely 
large  daily  receipts  and  it  is  not  pos- 
sible to  find  a  first-class  market  for 
them  all.  There  are  too  many  white. 
Except  for  All  Saints'  day,  which  made 
no  great  demand  on  this  market  this 
year,  white  chrysanthemums  are  not  in 
strong  request;  the  buyers  want  as 
many  yellow  as  all  other  colors  com- 
bined. The  only  chrysanthemums  that 
are  not  in  oversupply  are  the  finest 
grade  of  big  exhibition  blooms.  The 
moderate  quantities  of  this  grade  find 
quick  clearance  at  prices  which  make 
small,  soft  stuff  look  ridiculously  cheap. 
There  also  are  tremendous  quantities  of 
pompons.  They  sell  well,  but  not  at 
high  prices  and  the  market  never  is 
clean. 

The  warm  weather  has  hurried  the 
rose  crops  along.  The  supply  has  been 
large  and  much  of  the  stock  has  been 
softer  than  anyone  liked.  Selling  has 
been  large  and  steady,  but  it  could  not 
hold  prices  up.  Roses  certainly  have 
afforded  excellent  values  in  the  last 
week.  Carnations  also  are  more  plenti- 
ful, of  improved  quality  and  lower  in 
price. 

Sweet  peas  have  become  sufficiently 
abundant  so  that  they  now  are  an  item 
to  be  reckoned  with.  The  quality  is 
good  and  they  hurt  the  sale  of  New 
York  double  violets.  Calendula  is  much

Whites  are  seen  in  most  of  the  whole- 
sale stores,  held  for  better  prices  than 
the  retailers  like  to  pay,  but  necessary 
if  the  grower  is  to  break  even  with 
bulbs  at  this  year's  cost. 

Cattleyas  have  shortened  up  to  such 
an  extent  that  it  is  difficult  to  tell  the 
market  price.  Many  of  the  retail  stores 
have  stopped  handling  cattleyas  as  a 
regular  item  of  stock.  The  same  can 
be  said  of  valley  and  lilies.  All  three 
are  too  scarce  and  too  high  for  the 
average  retailer  to  do  much  with.  There 
are  large  supplies  of  greens,  boxwood 
having  come  in  quantity.  Most  of  the 
wholesalers  note  that  they  are  not  sell- 
ing so  many  greens  this  year  as  last. 
Last  season  the  retailers  used  more 
green  stuff  because  flowers  were  scarce; 
this  season  it  is  the  other  way  around. 

October  Business. 

Taking  the  Chicago  market  as  a 
whole,  October  was  a  better  month 
than  most  of  the  wholesalers  expected. 
Along  in  September  almost  anyone 
would  have  been  glad  to  insure  an  Octo- 
ber total  seventy-five  per  cent  as  large 
as  that  of  last  year.  In  most  cases  the 
record  is  better  than  that,  two  or  three 
honses  actually  reporting  increased  cut 
flower  sales  for  the  month.  Of  course 
such   increases   were   the   result   of   in-

The  growers  are  not  so  well  satisfied 
as  the  wholesalers.  They  cut  much 
more  stock  than  in  the  month  of  last 
year  and  did  not  receive,  on  the  whole, 
as  much  money  for  it.  It  is  probable 
that  from  three  to  four  times  as  many 
flowers  were  sold  as  in  October,  1918. 
Roses  did  not  average,  on  the  whole, 
above  one-third  of  last  October's  aver- 
age prices  and  pompons  make  fully  as 
bad  a  comparison  of  returns.  Last  year 
the  market  was  bare  every  minute  and 
growers  cut  everything  a  little  before 
it  was  really  ready.  This  year  the  mar- 
ket was  well  supplied  at  all  times  and 


oversupplied  a  considerable  part  of  the 
time. 

With  the  Allied  Trades. 

A  visit  to  some  of  the  concerns  which, 
in  former  years,  were  strongly  heard 
from  as  the  result  of  the  business  done 
with  florists  developed  some  interest- 
ing facts,  nearly  all  in  line  with  earlier 
predictions  that  merchandise  will  be 
scarce  this  winter. 

The  Eaedlein  Basket  Co.,  once  one  of 
the  strongest  bidders  for  florists'  pat- 
ronage, reports  that  the  shortage  of 
willow,  rattan  and  weavers  necessitates 
putting  the  effort  on  the  manufacturing 


instead  of  the  sales  end  of  the  business. 

C.  M.  Tillman,  whose  specialty  was 
tall  Beauty  vases  and  zinc-lined  woven 
window  boxes,  says  material  and  labor 
are  so  hard  to  get  he  cannot  push  his 
business. 

Joseph  Ziska  &  Sons  report  greater 
difficulty  to  obtain  prompt  delivery  of 
florists'  staple  supplies  than  to  sell 
them  when  they  are  in  the  store. 

Mrs.  Cooper,  of  the  Auburndale  Gold- 
fish Co.,  says  retail  florists,  and  others 
handling  goldfish,  are  doing  so  brisk  a 
business  that  it  is  difficult  to  keep  them 
supplied  with  fish.

Works,  which  made  a  popular  steel 
boiler  for  greenhouses,  discontinued  its 
manufacture  during  the  war  and  now 
is  wholly  engaged  in  another  line. 

• '  Follow  My  Leader. ' ' 

John  G.  Wittbold  announces  that  the 
Buckingham  place  store  of  the  George 
Wittbold  Co.  will  not  be  open  on  Sun- 
day this  season.  "We  believe  all  the 
larger  Chicago  florists  are  willing  to  re- 
main closed  on  Sunday,"  says  Mr.  Witt- 
bold, "and  of  course  the  leaders  have 
taken  individual  action,  but  there  are  a 
great  many  smaller  florists  who  do  most 
of  their  own  work,  who  have  not  yet 
seen  the  light." 

When  a  florist  gets  the  habit  of  do- 
ing all  the  work  in  the  place,  it  is  hard 
to  get  him  to  rest  or  play,  but  if  he 
hires  help,  the  help  leaves  if  the  hours 
per  week  are  too  many, 

October  Weather. 

October  was  a  difficult  month  for  the 
growers.  There  was  no  killing  frost 
near  the  lake  until  October  29.  The 
mean  temperature  was  4  degrees  above 
normal.  Rainfall,  6.41  inches,  was 
more  than  twice  normal,  the  greatest 
for  October  since  1883.  The  percentage 
of  possible  sunshine  was  only  fifty-one, 
against  sixty  as  normal.  It  was  a  warm, 
damp,  dark  month,  the  kind  of  weather 
that  increases  production  of  flowers  and 
makes  them  soft. 

Various  Notes. 

W.  H.  Hilton,  who  is  now  at  1509 
East  Fifty-third  street  and  has  been  in 
business  in  Hyde  Park  for  more  than 
thirty  years,  intends  to  move  to  San 
Diego,  Cal. 

Mrs.  Joseph  Kohout,  of  Libertyville, 
111.,  was  successfully  operated  on  for 
appendicitis  last  week,  at  the  Garfield 
Park  hospital.  A  daughter  of  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Kohout  was  operated  on  for  the 
same  complaint  about  a  month  ago. 

F.  M.  Johnson  says  October  made 
another  new  record  in  the  matter  of 
billings  in  florists'  supplies  and  other 
merchandise  departments  of  the  A.  L. 
Randall  Co.  Month  after  month  this 
year's  business  has  been  exceeding  all 
jirevious  high  marks.

south  last  week  for  All  Saints'  day. 
Paul  Klingsporn  says  they  foresaw  last 
week's  market  conditions  and  made  a 
special  effort  for  the  southern  business 
on  that  account.  It  is  his  belief,  how- 
ever, that  the  bulk  of  the  southern  de- 
mand was  filled  this  year  by  chrysanthe- 
mums from  the  Pacific  coast,  and  he 
says  they  have  encountered  several  con- 
cerns wholesaling  cut  flowers  direct 
from  the  greenhouses  who  are  not  doing 
anything  to  keep  the  value  of  flowers 
on  the  level  with  the  value  of  other 
commodities. 

Emil  Buettner  believes  there  will  be 
a  radically  different  market  condition 
before  Thanksgiving.  He  says  the 
warm  weather  has  rushed  into  the  mar- 
ket supplies  of  stock  which  should  have 
been  spread  over  several  weeks  and 
that  the  inevitable  result  will  be  a  cor- 
respondingly short  supply  a  little  later.

search  of  the  best  sources  of  supply  for 
the  large  quantities  of  liigh-grade  stock 
this  concern's  business  requires. 

H.  Welke,  of  the  E.  Welke  Co.,  Mil-

attending  to  business  connected  with 
the  new  store  just  opened,  wliich  is  the

C.  O.  Wilcox,  of  Wood,  Stubbs  &  Co.,

days  this  week.  He  no  longer  sells  to 
florists,  but  he  likes  to  visit  the  market.

He  also  arranged  for  the  publication  of 
his  book  of  floral  designs.  It  is  said 
that  Mr.  Ludwig  has  the  only  studio 
in  which  floral  subjects  exclusively  are

Tbe  Market. 

Because  of  rain  and  warm  weather 
last  week,  business  fell  down  consider- 
ably. The  market  has  been  well  filled 
with  seasonable  stock,  which  has  in- 
cluded excellent  chrysanthemums,  both 
large  and  pompons.  This  supply  is  not 
as  heavy  as  is  usual  at  this  time  of  the 
year.  Gladioli  and  asters  are  still  seen, 
but  in  limited  supply.  There  is  an 
abundant  supply  of  high  quality  roses 
on  hand;  their  color  and  sturdiness  of 
stem  are  especially  noticeable.    The  sup-

The  dark  weather  has  not  improved 
carnations.  There  is,  however,  an  in-

for  gardenias.  A  few  callas  and  Easter 
lilies  are  arriving,  but  in  small  quanti-

for  Halloween,  in  which  cornstalks, 
pumpkins,  witches  and  cats  played  a 
prominent  part.  Yellow  and  bronze 
chrysanthemums  were  chiefly  used  for 
all  the  windows  for  this  event. 

George  T.  Boucher  has  an  attractive 
window  display  of  dishes  and  vases 
iilled  with  bulbs  and  pebbles.  Small 
vases  of  pompons  fill  in  nicely  as  a  back- 
ground. 

R.  G.  Slicker,  of  the  A.  L.  Randall  Co., 
Chicago,  111.,  was  a  recent  visitor  to  the 
trade.  Julius  Berg,  of  Lion  ft  Co.,  New 
York,  also  called  on  the  trade  recently. 

Frank  Lavigne,  Jr.,  of  Bloss  street,  is 
growing  some  fine  mums,  for  which  he 
finds  a  ready  sale. 

Hart  &  Vick,  Inc.,  are  selling  large 
quantities  of  bulbs  of  all  kinds. 

Arthur  M.  Newborn,  of  701  Monroe 
avenue,  is  working  entirely  on  his

George  B.  Hart  has  leased  the  adjoin-

used  for  storerooms  and  shipping  rooms. 
Electric  lights  and  a  motor  have  just 
been  installed  for  use  in  the  paint  room, 
where  the  greater  part  of  the  baskets 
will  be  decorated.  H.  J.  H.

The  Market. 

A  visit  to  any  of  the  meat  and  prod- 
uce markets,  such  as  the  one  in  the 
Reading  terminal,  will  help  to  make 
clear  the  conditions  in  the  wholesale 
cut  flower  market.  In  these  markets 
many  of  the  stalls  display  flowers  for 
sale.  They  offer  great  quantities  of 
dahlias  and  pompons  and  cosmos  at 
moderate  prices.  The  result  is  that 
the  market  for  low-grade  stock  is  over- 
loaded to  an  extent  that  makes  impos- 
sible anything  approaching  fair  returns 
for  the  stock.  The  wholesalers  handle 
as  little  of  the  outdoor  stock  as  they 
can,  because  it  is  certain  to  cause  dis- 
appointment.     They   prefer    instead   to

concentrate  their  efforts  on  the  better 
grades  of  flowers,  those  grown  under 
glass.  For  them,  or  rather  for  part 
of  them,  there  is  a  market  at  fair  fig- 
ures, with  the  aid  of  a  lot  of  hard  work. 

The  absence  of  frost  so  late  as  the  be- 
ginning of  November,  combined  with 
the  extremely  warm  weather,  so  warm 
as  to  eclipse  the  weather  records,  makes 
flower  selling  a  difficult  matter.  The 
large  varieties  of  chrysanthemums  sell 
best,  when  well  grown.  Turner  and 
Eager,  white;  Bonnaffon,  Marigold, 
Richmond,  Chrysolora,  yellow;  Pink 
Chieftain,  McNiece  and  Pacific  Su- 
preme, pink;  Strafford,  bronze,  and  To- 
haksa,  bizarre,  are  among  the  leading 
sorts.  The  pompons  and  the  smaller 
Japanese  varieties  do  not  fare  well. 
What  few  violets  are  coming  in  sell 
moderately. 

Roses   and   carnations   are    neglected. 


Orchids  are  so  scarce  that  they  have 
had  another  and  most  surprising  jump 
in  price.  Cattleya  labiata  is  nearly 
over  and  there  is  no  Cattleya  TriansB  in 
sight.  There  are  a  few  fancy  cypripe- 
diums  and  a  few  Oncidium  varicosum. 

Calla  lilies  are  here.  They  have  met 
with  a  cordial  reception.  It  is  under- 
stood that  additional  Beauties  can  be 
cbtained  on  advance  orders. 

Summing  up  the  market,  it  is  about 
on  a  par  with  most  years  at  this  season. 
This  comparison  excludes  last  year, 
when  conditions  were  not  normal. 
There  is  a  lot  of  business  going,  with 
the  buyers  controlling  the  situation.

measure  the  work  done  on  each  place 
and  the  prospects  for  the  market's  sup-

of  our  leading  rosarians  and  their 
friends.  They  were  John  E.  Andre,  I. 
M.  Brooks,  John  Burton,  Alfred  Bur- 
ton, George  Burton,  J.  William  Colflesh,

Chas.  E.  Meehan,  Stephen  Mortensen, 
Prank  P.  Myers,  Arthur  A.  Niessen, 
Samuel  S.  Pennock,  Martin  Samtman 
and  Commodore  John  Westcott.  They 
made  an  early  start  in  three  large  tour- 
ing cars,  owned  and  driven  by  John  E. 
Andre,  Evans  Harvey  and  Samuel  S. 
Pennock,  respectively.  They  accom- 
plished a  surprising  amount  of  visiting 
between  sunrise  and  sunset  of  a  single 
day.  They  saw  the  three  Burton  places 
and  Myers  &  Samtman,  Chestnut  Hill. 
They  called  on  Adolph  Farenwald,  Vic- 
tor Groshens  and  Edward  Towill,  at 
Hillside.  They  went  to  Alfred  M. 
Campbell's  new  place  on  the  mule 
farm,  near  Hatboro.  They  strolled 
through  Stephen  Mortensen 's  green- 
houses at  Southampton.  They  peeped 
into  John  R.  Andre's  houses  at  Doyles- 
town.  They  walked  through  the  Florex 
Gardens  at  North  Wales.  They  trav- 
ersed the  range  of  the  Joseph  Heacock 
Co.  at  Eoelofs.  What  they  saw  would 
fill  a  volume.  What  they  said  and  what 
they  thought  would  fill  several  more.

A  Retail  Grower's  Place. 

It  is  a  well  known  fact  that  the  back- 
bone of  the  florists'  business  is  formed, 
not  by  the  retailers,  not  by  the  whole- 
sale gn^owers,  not  by  the  wholesale  com- 
mission men,  but  by  the  retail  growers, 
the  men  who  grow,  who  produce  what 
the  people  require  and  who  sell  direct 
to  the  consumer.  This  class  of  florists 
is  less  prominent  in  a  few  of  our  large 
cities  than  the  other  three  classes,  but 
much  more  prominent  throughout  the 
country  than  any  of  the  other  classes. 
Probably  this  class  is  more  prominent 
than  all  of  the  other  classes  combined. 

So  it  was  with  especial  interest  that 
an  invitation  from  Paul  Geschick  to 
look  through  his  brother's  place   was 


accepted.  Chrysanthemums  were,  as 
might  naturally  be  supposed,  the  lead- 
ing crop,  though  carnations  were  a 
good  second.  The  mums  were  mainly 
of  the  large-flowered  Japanese  varie- 
ties, with  only  a  moderate  supply  of 
pompons.  The  proportion  of  early, 
midseason  and  late  sorts  seemed  to  be 
about  the  same,  which  was  somewhat 
surprising  in  a  suburban  section  of  the 
city  where  it  would  naturally  be  sup- 
posed that  the  home  garden  wouM 
make  the  late  varieties  preferable.  Mr. 
Geschick  explained  this  by  saying  that 
it  was  necessary  to  have  something  to 
show  people  at  the  beginning  of  the 
season  and  that  it  was  also  an  advan- 
tage to  get  a  little  room  early.  The 
chrysanthemums  were  benched  in  the 
usual  way,  carefully  spaced  and  tied. 
They  looked  the  picture  of  health. 
About  half  the  varieties  appeared  to 
be  yellow.     The  remainder  were  about

The  event  of  the  week  was  the  visit  of 

E.  B.  Washburn,  of  Sierra  Madre,  Cal. 
Mr.  Washburn  brought  with  him  some 
of  those  much  talked  of  palms  grown 
under  lath  houses.  There  were  some 
half  dozen  sample  plants  of  Kentia  Bel- 
moreana  and  Kentia  Forsteriana.  Mr. 
Washburn  visited  Riverton,  Wyncote 
and  Holmesburg  Junction,  piloted  by 
Edwin  J.  Fancourt.  The  palm  growers 
at  these  places,  Henry  A.  Dreer,  Inc., 
Joseph  Heacock  Co.  and  Charles  D.  Ball, 
were  all  greatly  interested  in  the  stock 
produced  under  the  novel  surroundings.

Out-of-town  funeral  work,  to  which  this 
house  caters  largely,  was  unusually  brisk 
last  week. 

The  business  at  Fred  O-ear's  shop,  as 
well  as  at  the  Tromey  Flower  Shop,  is 
likely  to  be  materially  increased  by  the 
impending  removal  of  the  canal  and  the 
construction  in  its  place  of  a  high-class 
boulevard. 

L.    H.    Kyrk's    commission    house    is

Julius  Baer  carried  out  some  nice  wed-

During  last  week  C.  E.  Critchell  re- 
ceived several  heavy  shipments  of  box- 
wood for  his  early  winter  and  Christ- 
mas trade. 

Another  retail  store  is  opening  in  this 
city.  It  is  the  Georgia  Flower  Shop 
and  is  located  at  2687  Madison  road,  in 
Hyde  park. 

Julius  Dilloff,  of  Schloss  Bros.,  New 
York,  called  on  the  trade  in  this  city 
last  week.  C.  H.  H. 

ST.  LOUIS,    MO. 

Tlie  Market. 

Last  week  was  not  favorable  to  the 
trade,  as  it  rained  almost  continually, 
and  the  way  stock  was  piled  up  at  all 
the  local  markets  showed  that  the  re- 
tailers bought  only  what  they  really 
needed.  Transient  trade  was  out  of  the 
question  and  the  only  real  business  dur- 
ing the  week,  outside  of  funeral  work, 
came  October  31,  as  many  Halloween 
parties  were  given  and  considerable 
stock    was   used   up   for    this    occasion. 

The  chrysanthemum  is  the  predomi- 
nant flower  in  demand  and  the  season 
is  at  its  height;  with  the  rainy  season 
and  the  heavy  increase  of  daily  ship- 
ments, prices  had  to  suffer  in  order  to 
dispose  of  them  all.  The  early  varieties 
are  now  in.  This  state  of  affairs  caused 
a  great  slaughter  in  prices  on  roses  and 
carnations,  as  the  receipts  of  these  were 
unusually  heavy  every  day  during  the 
week. 

Eoses  of  fine  quality  sold  as  low  as 
$3  and  $4  per  hundred  and  even  cheap- 
er   in    thousand   lots.     Only    extra    fine

Carnations,    too,    are    plentiful,    but 


are  not  as  yet  at  their  best  in  length

had  to  suflfer  also.

would  appear  Sunday,  November  9,  in 
the  daily  papers.  It  was  decided  to 
place  an  additional  $300  advertisement 
in  the  same  issues,  advertising  the  sale 
of  chrysanthemums.  H.  O.  Berning,  the 
Windier  Wholesale  Floral  Co.  and  the 
St.  Louis  Wholesale  Cut  Flower  Co.  each 
gave  $100  to  be  placed  in  the  publicity 
fund,  in  addition  to  doing  the  work  of 
collecting  the  funds  from  the  retailers 
and  growers. 

President  Ammann  then  gave  the 
members  an  interesting  talk  on  the  re> 
cent  F.  T.  D.  meeting  and  his  eastern 
trip  and  the  wonderful  work  that  is  be- 
ing done  by  the  F.  T.  D.  and  the  na- 
tional publicity  committee. 

The  local  publicity  committee  still 
sets  aside  twenty-five  per  cent  of  the 
money  collected  for  the  national  asso- 
ciation, which  share  will  be  turned  over 
to  the  national  committee  at  the  end 
of  the  year.  All  advertising  by  this 
committee  will  be  handled  by  Wood- 
ward 's,  Inc.,  and  the  sum  of  $3,000  was 
•lecided  upon  for  advertising  the  sale 
of  cut  flowers  and  plants  for  this  sea 
son. 

The  rest  of  the  evening  was  taken 
up  in  talks  on  publicity,  in  which  all 
present  took  part,  and  in  the  end  all 
were  more  than  ever  convinced  that 
the  retailers  would  all  be  in  symjjathy 
with  the  new  plan  for  raising  the  funds 
for  advertising  their  business. 

The  next  meeting  of  this  committee 
will  take  place  Tuesday  evening,  No- 
vember 11,  at  8  o'clock. 

Various  Notes. 

The  St.  Louis  Florists'  club  will  hold 
its  monthly  meeting  Thursday  after- 
noon, November  13,  in  the  tea  room  on 
the  seventh  floor  at  Vandervoort's  as 
guests  of  Julius  Schaeffer  and  Edward 
Steitz,  managers  of  the  floral  depart- 
ment. There  will  also  be  a  mum  exhibi- 
tion, which  will  include  roses,  carna- 
tions and  other  flowers.  Shippers  to  this 
market  are  requested  to  send  a  few 
blooms  to  be  staged  during  the  meeting. 

Paul  Heil,  for  many  years  with  F.  H. 
Weber,  has  decided  to  branch  out  for 
himself  and  will  open  a  store  on  Del- 
mar  avenue,  in  the  extreme  western  part 
of  the  city.

orchids  and  valley  was  quite  heavy 
last  week,  but  orchids  are  hard  to  get 
and  valley  costs  the  trade  $25  per  hun- 
dred for  choice  stock.  Mr.  Berning  did 
jury  duty  daily  last  week. 

The  large  show  house  of  Fred  C. 
Weber,  which  faces  Olive  street,  had 
great  attraction  last  week  for  the  pass- 
ing public,  because  of  the  fine  display 
of  both  cut  mums  and  mum  plants, 
which  were  featured  daily.  A  card  in 
the  window  read,  "This  store  is  closed 
on  Sundays."

at  Kansas  City  the  first  week  in  No- 
vember, as  was  announced.  Secretary 
Archias,  of  Sedalia,  Mo.,  will  announce 
the  date  and  place  later.  The  St.  Louis 
members  of  the  association  will  meet 
this  week  and  invite  them  to  hold  the 
meeting  in  St.  Louis  sometime  this 
month. 

Fred  Foster  has  added  candy  and 
fruit  to  the  store  at  Seventh  and  Olive 
streets.  The  big  display  of  mums  in- 
creased the  attractiveness  greatly. 

H,  F.  Hill  is  now  St.  Louis  repre- 
sentative of  the  A.  L.  Eandall  Co., 
Chicago,  and  reports  that  he  will  open 
a  sample  room  near  the  wholesale  dis- 
trict. 

Mrs.  G.  B.  Windier  will  entertain  the 
Lady  Florists'  Home  Circle  November 
12  at  her  home,  4056  Delore  avenue. 

Charles,  Henry  and  William  Meier,  of 
Kirkwood,  Mo.,  are  cutting  a  heavy 
supply  of  mums  of  extra  fine  qual- 
ity. These  three  brothers  operate  sepa- 
rate ranges  and  grow  carnations,  sweet 
peas  and  violets  of  fine  quality. 

All  of  the  six  wholesale  markets  keep 
open  on  Sundays,  except  C.  A.  Kuehn, 
who  believes  in  one  day  of  rest  for  him- 
self and  his  employees.  There  is  a  move- 
ment on  foot  for  the  other  five  to  fol- 
low the  example  set  by  Mr.  Kuehn,  and 
it  will  not  be  long  before  all  retailers 
will  also  close  on  Sundays. 

Alexander  Lurie  and  W.  S.  Wells, 
formerly  of  St.  Louis,  report  tliat  they 
have  opened  a  retail  store  at  Ann  Arbor, 
Mich.,  under  the  name  of  the  Blu- 
Maize  Blossom  Shop.  Both  men  are 
members  of  the  St.  Louis  Florists'  Club. 

The  handicap  series  of  the  "Say  It 
with  Flowers"  Bowling  League  started 
October  29,  when  the  Roses  lost  the 
odd  game  to  the  Carnations  by  giving 
them  a  nineteen-pin  handicap.  The 
Daisies  were  given  a  thirty-pin  handi- 
cap by  the  Sweet  Peas  and  lost  the  odd 
game  by  only  ten  pins.  C.  A.  Kuehn, 
one  of  the  old-timers,  came  out  of  re- 
tirement and  Captain  Bourdet  was  sur- 
prised by  having  Mr.  Kuehn  roll  with 
the  Daisies.  Carl  Beyer  and  J.  J. 
Beneke,  two  other  old-timers,  are  with 
Captain    Kuehn 's    Roses,-   but    as    yet

The  Market. 


With  the  chrysanthemum  arrivals 
growing  heavier  and  demand  none  too 
robust,  the  flower  market  is  not  at  pres- 
ent in  a  particularly  strong  position  and 
prices    have    weakened,     especially    on 


roses  and  carnations.  The  political  sit- 
uation here  is  tense  and  a  sweeping  vic- 
tory for  the  forces  of  conservatism  and 
the  rout  of  the  radical  labor  element 
will  go  a  long  way  toward  improving 
business  not  only  in  flowers,  but  in  all 
commodities.  Chrysanthemums  are  abun- 
dant, especially  such  Aarieties  as  Chief- 
tain, Rager,  Yellow  Rager,  Bonnaffon, 
Pacific  Supreme  and  Chrysolora.  Pom- 
pons are  in  larger  supply.  These  and 
singles  sell  well. 

Roses  are  temporarily  in  the  doldrums 
and   clearances  are   made   only   at   low

"ich  and  24-inch  stems  sold  as  low  as 
$2  per  hundred  last  week.  Columbia, 
Premier,  Crusader,  Pilgrim  and  Evelyn 
all  prove  great  sellers.  Carnations  are 
selling  rather  low,  even  for  fine  flow- 
ers, but  they  will  soon  rebound  when  the 
warm  wave  recedes.  Violets  sell  at  $1 
and  some  fancy  flowers  have  made  a  lit- 
tle more. 
•A-  few  lilies  are  coming  in,  also  small 


lots  of  callas.  Paper  Whites  have  also 
appeared  from  one  or  two  growers.  Small 
lots  of  marguerites  and  snapdragons 
come  in,  but  calendulas  are  in  better 
supply.  A  few  Spencer  sweet  peas  are 
arriving,  in  addition  to  the  grandifloras. 
Asparagus  sells  fairly  well,  but,  as  ste- 
via  will  be  due  in  a  couple  of  weeks,  its 
sale  will  then  be  affected  for  some  time. 
A  few  asters  and  gladioli  were  still  of- 
fered as  late  as  November  1. 


Bouvardia  sells  well.  Little  lily  of 
the  valley  comes  in  and  only  small  lots 
of  gardenias,  but  cattleyas  are  plenti- 
ful, with  an  ample  supply  of  other  sea- 
sonable orchids.  Chrysanthemums,  cj'C-

principal  flowering  plants  offered.

Their  Bussell,  Hadley  and  Columbia 
roses  are  specially  good.  They  report 
shipping  trade  as  good,  also  the  demand 
for  sundries. 

"Welch  Bros.  Co.  is  receiving  splendid 
shipments  of  the  new  roses,  Crusader, 
Evelyn  and  Pilgrim.  Mr.  Welch  says 
Crusader  is  extremely  popular  and 
proves  to  be  a  wonderful  keeper.  Among 
chrysanthemums,  BonnafFon,  Charles 
Bager,  Yellow  Rager  and  Bichmond  are 
excellent  sellers.  A  fine  business  is  be- 
ing done  in  cibotiums  and  Glory  of 
Moordrecht  ferns. 

Henry  M.  Bobinson  &  Co.  report  that 
October  sales  broke  all  former  records 
for  that  month.  Baskets  are  moving  at 
a  lively  rate  and  their  ice  chests  contain 
an  immense  stock  of  cut  flowers. 

The  Boston  Floral  Supply  Co.  is  for- 
tunate in  having  a  large  stock  of  red 
immortelles.  These  and  other  holiday 
goods  are  now  moving  fast.  A  fine  as- 
sortment of  cut  flowers  was  noted,  par- 
ticularly of  roses,  carnations  and  chrys- 
anthemums. 

Various  Notes. 

A  special  committee  appointed  by  the 
overseers  of  Harvard  College  to  consider 
the  desirability  of  removing  the  Har- 
vard Botanical  Gardens  has  just  report- 
ed unanimously  in  favor  of  combining 
it  with  the  Bussey  Institute,  Jamaica 
Plain.  The  Bussey  Institute  adjoins  the 
Arnold  Arboretum,  and  the  removal  of 
the  Botanical  Gardens  there  will,  in  all 
probability,  mean  that  the  Arboretum, 
Bussey  Institute  and  the  Botanical  Gar- 
dens will  be  placed  under  one  head. 

Philip  L.  Carbone's  numerous  impor- 
tations from  Europe  are  sold  almost  as 
fast  as  they  arrive,  even  at  greatly  ad- 
vanced prices. 

A.  M.  Davenport,  of  Watertown,  has 
the  sympathy  of  his  many  friends  in  the 
tragic  death  of  his  mother  and  sister 
in  an  automobile  accident  at  Northboro, 
Mass.,  October  25.  Death  in  each  case 
was  almost  instantaneous.

lot  of  giganteum  lilies  and  Paper 
Whites  from  several  growers. 

The  best  winter-flowering  Spencer 
sweet  peas  I  have  seen  this  season  are 
coming  from  Andrew  Mitchell,  formerly 
of  the  firm  of  C.  T.  Beasley  &  Co.,  East 
Milton,  and  now  located  at  North  Sud- 
bury, Mass. 

Harry  Quint  states  that  present  sales 
are  far  ahead  of  a  year  ago.  He  keeps 
his  windows  on  Boylston  street  attrac- 
tive at  all  times. 

Among  recent  incorporations  of  Mas- 
sachusetts companies  is  that  of  the  B. 
&  J.  Farquhar  Co.,  operating  large  seed 
stores  in  Boston  and  extensive  nurseries 
at  Dedham  and  West  Barnstable,  Mass. 
The  capitalization  is  $500,000,  divided 
into  2,000  shares  of  seven  per  cent  cu- 
mulative preferred  stock  and  3,000 
shares  common  stock,  the  par  value  of 
each  being  $100.  J.  K.  M.  L.  Farquhar, 
J.  F.  M.  Farquhar  and  sixteen  employees

Jack  Feldtman,  of  the  Boston  Floral

The  annual  election  and  meeting  of 
the  Massachusetts  Horticultural  Society 
will  occur  at  noon,  November  15.  Every 
member  of  the  society  is  earnestly  re- 
quested to  vote  on  this  occasion. 

The  local  florists  are  pushing  prepara- 
tions for  the  proper  celebration  of 
"Say  It  with  Flowers"  week  in  Boston, 
which  commences  November  10,  and  for 
which  funds  have  come  in  encourag- 
ingly. 

Fred  C.  Green,  superintendent  of 
Roger  Williams  park.  Providence,  R. 
I.,  who  has  recently  returned  from  a 
trip  to  Great  Britain,  paid  a  visit  to 
W.  E.  Wallace,  the  noted  carnation  spe- 
cialist, at  Eaton  Bray,  England.  He  saw 
one  large  house  with  plants  in  beds 
'ilantod  four  years  ago,  which  had  been 
in  continuous  crop  ever  since.  The 
plants  in  late  September  stood  seven 
to  eight  feet  high,  were  a  perfect  mass 
of  bloom  and  the  flowers  equal  in  qual- 
ity to  the  best  seen  in  America  in 
March.  Some  of  the  varieties  were  of 
American,  others  of  English  origin.

The  Market. 

The  weather  has  been  more  like  sum- 
mer than  autumn.  This  is  responsible 
for  the  market  being  congested  with  a 
mass  of  all  sorts  of  stock.  Dahlias  are 
as  fine  as  any  seen  this  season  and  other 
outdoor  stock  is  plentiful.  Cosmos  is  in 
fine  shape.  There  is  not  so  much  of  this 
being  grown  by  florists,  but  in  a  ride 
through  the  country  cosmos  is  to  be 
seen  in  almost  every  yard,  together  with 
dahlias  and  chrysanthemums,  all  in  fine 
form.  While  this  lasts,  naturally  it  has 
its  effect  on  the  market.  Chrysanthe- 
mums are  about  at  their  height  and  some 
outdoor  stock  seen  is  as  fine  as  indoor 
blooms.  This  affects  the  price  of  mums 
all  along  the  line.  It  would  seem  that 
everyone  went  in  for  white  this  year, 
as  yellow  and  pink  are  quite  scarce  and 
anyone  who  has  good  stock  of  these  col- 
ors has  no  trouble  in  disposing  of  it. 

Roses,  while  not  plentiful,  are  good 
and  there  are  all  that  are  needed  for  the 
demand.  Carnations  are  not  in  crop, 
but  there  is  not  much  demand  for  them.

The  Maryland  Horticultural  Society 
met  at  Hagerstown  last  week,  in  the 
apple  belt  of  the  state.  Some  of  the  flo- 
rists of  this  city  took  advantage  of  the 
meeting  to  make  the  trip  over  the  Blue 


Bidge  mountains,  which  at  this  season 
are  lovely.  Among  those  who  went  were 
Eobert  Graham  and  wife,  Eobert  L.  Gra- 
ham, Jr.,  and  wife  and  Miss  Jessie 
Graham. 

One  of  the  most  prominent  weddings 
held  in  the  city  so  far  this  season  was 
that  of  Miss  Mary  George  White  and 
Major  Bates,  of  the  United  States  Army. 
The  First  Presbyterian  church  was  hand- 
somely decorated  with  palms  and  chrys- 
anthemums by  Mary  Johnston.  Miss 
White  and  the  President's  daughter  had 
been  chums  at  Goucher  College  and  the 
flowers  used  in  the  home  were  from 
the  White  House  greenhouses.     Eobert 


Johnston,  who  arranged  the  decoration, 
seemed  to  be  inspired  by  handling  flow- 
ers of  such  distinguished  origin,  as  he 
certainly  accomplished  a  fine  piece  of 
work. 

James  Glass  came  under  the  wire  a 
winner,  in  being  the  first  man  to  bring 
sweet  peas  to  the  market  this  fall.  Mr. 
Glass  will  have  his  usual  fine  snap- 
dragons this  season.

Tlie  Market. 

Cloudy,  murky  weather  for  five  or  six 
successive  days  has  shortened  the  sup- 
ply of  roses  and  carnations,  which  were 
arriving  in  good  shape  lately,  but  chrys- 
anthemums have  been  plentiful  enough 
to  make  up  the  difference.  There  is  no 
glut  in  any  line,  but  just  about  enough 
to  take  care  of  a  demand  which  is  fair 
and  steady.  October  has  been  a  satis- 
factory month,  from  all  available  re- 
ports. It  was  nothing  like  a  year  ago, 
when  influenza  was  raging  and  everyone 
in  the  flower  business  was  working  day 
and  night  on  funeral  orders,  but  not 
one  in  the  business  would  welcome  a  re- 
turn of  the  1918  situation,  even  with  the 
money  it  meant.  The  month  just  passed 
closed  a  little  lighter  than  it  would 
otherwise,  on  account  of  the  drive.  These 
campaigns  aflfect  buying  in  every  line, 
it  has  been  found.  This  week's  prices 
on  chrysanthemums  have  been  from  $2 
to   $4,   roses   $4   to   $12,   carnations   $4 

and  $5. 

Various  Notes. 

Arthur  Newell  says  business  is  im- 
proving steadily  and  he  likes  his  present 
location  better  all  the  time.  He  has  re- 
ceived flattering  compliments  on  his  new 
store  from  eastern  visitors. 

J.  G.  Eggleston  has  been  striving  to 
be  the  first  in  this  market  with  sweet 
peas.  He  cut  some  fine  ones  week  be- 
fore last  and,  had  the  weather  been  fa- 
vorable, he  would  have  had  quantities 
of  blooms  since.  He  planted  the  seed 
August  18  and  has  a  good  stand  now. 
The  first  bloom  appeared  October  6,  so 
that  Mr.  Eggleston  believes  that  he  holds 
the  honor  this  year. 

W.  L.  Rock  is  one  of  the  active  work- 
ers in  the  Liberty  Memorial  and  Local 
Charities  campaign.  Mr.  Rock  has  taken 
part  in  every  campaign  since  the  war 
started  and  has  given  generously  of 
money  as  well  as  time.  All  of  the  flo- 
rists have  been  liberal  contributors  in 
every  drive  and  have  been  among  the 
first  called  upon  for  subscriptions. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  E.  G.  Hill,  of  Richmond, 
Ind.,  spent  October  27  and  28  in  the  citv 
on  their  way  home  from  California.  P. 
A.  Manson,  of  Pleasant  Hill,  Mo.,  came 
up  October  28  to  meet  Mr.  Hill. 

The  week  of  October  20  was  a  busy 
one  for  the  force  of  Samuel  Murray's 
shop.  Mr.  Murray  says  that  one  day  of 
that  week  was  the  heaviest  he  ever  put 
in.  The  funeral  of  the  4-year-old  son  of

orders.  One  was  a  blanket  of  baby

and  maidenhair  fern,  made  on  a  founTTa- 
tion  of  white  satin.  It  was  one  of  the 
most  beautiful  things  ever  made  here. 

W.  L.  Rock  returned  October  27  from 
the  east.  After  attending  the  F.  T.  D.

an  Oldsmobile  truck  to  be  used  for  car- 
rying stock  from  the  greenhouses,  at 
Pleasant  Hill,  Mo.,  thirty-two  miles 
from  Kansas  City,  to  the  salesrooms 
here.  This  is  the  second  truck  pur- 
chased in  the  last  few  months,  the  other 
one  being  used  in  Pleasant  Hill.  They 
have  been  using  a  Ford  for  transporta- 
tion purposes  and  the  method  was  so 
successful  that  a  larger  car  was  desired. 
The  truck  will  leave  Pleasant  Hill  each 
morning  at  6  o'clock  and  arrive  in  Kan-

The  Market. 

Cloudy,  murky  weather  for  five  or  six 
fluccessive  days  has  shortened  the  sup- 
ply of  roses  and  carnations,  which  were 
arriving  in  good  shape  lately,  but  chrys- 
anthemums have  been  plentiful  enough 
to  make  up  the  difference.  There  is  no 
glut  in  any  line,  but  just  about  enough 
to  take  care  of  a  demand  which  is  fair 
and  steady.  October  has  been  a  satis- 
factory month,  from  all  available  re- 
ports. It  was  nothing  like  a  year  ago, 
when  influenza  was  raging  and  everyone 
in  the  flower  business  was  working  day 
and  night  on  funeral  orders,  but  not 
one  in  the  business  would  welcome  a  re-* 
turn  of  the  1918  situation,  even  with  the 
money  it  meant.  The  month  just  passed 
closed  a  little  lighter  than  it  would 
otherwise,  on  account  of  the  drive.  These 
campaigns  affect  buying  in  every  line, 
it  has  been  found.  This  week's  prices 
on  chrysanthemums  have  been  from  $2 
to   $4,    roses   $4   to   $12,   carnations   $4 

and  $5. 

Various  Notes. 

Arthur  Newell  says  business  is  im- 
proving steadily  and  he  likes  his  present 
location  better  all  the  time.  He  has  re- 
ceived flattering  compliments  on  his  new 
fltore  from  eastern  visitors. 

J.  G.  Eggleston  has  been  striving  to 
be  the  first  in  this  market  with  sweet 
peas.  He  cut  some  fine  ones  week  be- 
fore last  and,  had  the  weather  been  fa- 
vorable, he  would  have  had  quantities 
of  blooms  since.  He  planted  the  seed 
August  18  and  has  a  good  stand  now. 
The  first  bloom  appeared  October  6,  so 
that  Mr.  Eggleston  believes  that  he  holds 
the  honor  this  year. 

W.  L.  Kock  is  one  of  the  active  work- 
ers in  the  Liberty  Memorial  and  Local 
Charities  campaign.  Mr.  Rock  has  taken 
part  in  every  campaign  since  the  war 
started  and  has  given  generously  of 
money  as  well  as  time.  All  of  the  flo- 
rists have  been  liberal  contributors  in 
every  drive  and  have  been  among  the 
first  called  upon  for  subscriptions. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  E.  G.  Hill,  of  Richmond, 
Ind.,  spent  October  27  and  28  in  the  city 
on  their  way  home  from  California.  P. 
A.  Manson,  of  Pleasant  Hill,  Mo.,  came 
up  October  28  to  meet  Mr.  Hill. 

The  week  of  October  20  was  a  busy 
one  for  the  force  of  Samuel  Murray's 
shop.  Mr.  Murray  says  that  one  day  of 
that  week  was  the  heaviest  he  ever  put 
in.  The  funeral  of  the  4-year-old  son  of

and  maidenhair  fern,  made  on  a  foun^- 
tion  of  white  satin.  It  was  one  of  the 
most  beautiful  things  ever  made  here. 

W.  L.  Rock  returned  October  27  from 
the  east.  After  attending  the  F.  T.  D. 
convention  in  Buflfalo  he  went  on  to  New 
York  and  Philadelphia.  Mr.  Rock,  who 
is  always  on  the  alert  for  new  ideas,

following: 

"The  Influence  of  Our  Slogan. 

"Of  late  we  have  presented  in  the 
columns  of  the  trade  press  evidence  of 
the  growing  popularity  of  our  slogan, 
'Say  It  with  Flowers'  and  of  its  use  in 
the  direction  of  publicity  other  than 
that  which  our  campaign  fund  provides.

Stumpp  sends  us  a  clipping  from  the 
August  number  which  is  further  evi- 
dence that  our  slogan  is  carrying  us  be- 
yond the  sphere  wherein  we  hoped  to 
spread  our  doctrine.  We  intended  in 
our  limited  space  to  reproduce  only  a 
portion  of  the  article,  but  the  sentiment 
embodied  in  it  is  so  beautiful  that  we 
ungrudgingly  present  the  greater  part 
of  it.  It  is  written  by  the  editor,  who 
evidently  wrote  it  while  convalescing 
from  a  sickness.     Here  it  is: 

"Tlion,  of  oonrse,  I  had  to  lie  around  in  hed  for

tliPn  hnvp  your  wifp  come  to  the  bodside  and 
lay  a   great  armful  of  roses  beside  you? 

"It  niiikes  a  great  big  lump  come  up  in  your 
tlir<)at  and  makes  you  sniff  as  if  yon  liad  a  cold 
and,  more  than  that,  it  makes  you  realize  that 
Ix'hind  all  the  badinage,  all  the  kidding,  all  the 
college  fraternity  nonsense  that  permeates  these 
organizations  to  which  we  belong,  there  is  a  real 
dei)th  of  love,  a  real  sympathetic  interest  and  a 
real  feeling  of  regret  that  you  are  down  on  your 
back   and  suffering, 

"To  know  that  around  in  your  town  are  fellows 
who  love  you,  who  with  an  armful  of  daisies  or 
a  great  sheaf  of  gladioli  are  saying,  'Old  man, 
mere  words  are  but  empty  and  meaningless 
things,  but  let  this  bunch  of  flowers  show  you 
that  I  have  stopped  In  the  midst  of  a  busy  day 
to  send  you  these  that  you  may  know  I  have 
thought  of  you  and  want  their  fragrance  to  rep- 
resent to  you  the  fine  feeling  of  love  and  friend- 
ship I  have  for  .vou.' 

"Darn  it  all.  fellows,  as  one  after  another  came, 
I  found  that  a  big  tear  was  creeping  down  my 
face  and  I  turned  over  so  my  wife  would  think 
it  was  the  light  shining  in  my  eyes  that  did  it. 

"Our  Kiwanis  florist  says.  'Say  It  with  Flow- 
ers,' and  I  am  in  most  hearty  accord  with  the 
thought,  for  there  is  no  way  you  can  say  it  so 
beautifully,  so  sentimentally  and  so  well.  Ix)t8 
of  times   I   have  sent  them,   but   this  is  my  first

HENRY  R.  COMLEY.  Florist,     6  Park  Street 

60  years'  experience  in  the  florist  basiness  Kaarantees 

efficiency  to  take  care  of  a' '  enters     20  ner  rrnt  allowed 

and  down  the  world,  of  lookinj;  at  Its  mountains, 
tho  rivers  that  water  it  and  tlio  cities  which 
make  its  prosperity.  We  tire  of  chasini;  the 
laurel  wreath  of  fame  and  the  bauble  of  prom- 
inence. Hut  we  never  tire  of  our  friends  and 
those  who  smile  as  they  look  Into  our  eyes. 

"After  all,  the  friends  we  accumulate  are  the 
jrreatest  asset  we  have  as  we  grow  on  toward 
the  twilight  zone  of  life.  Friendship  is  love 
with  his  wings  clipped  so  he  cannot  fly  away, 
and  as  they  represented  these  friends,  those 
flowers  were  the  Bweetest  things  I  have  ever 
known." 

Is  George  Paying  for  You? 

And  yet  our  conimittes  are  finding  it 
a  hard  task  to  collect  a  fund  big  enough 
to  carry  our  slogan — admittedly  the 
best  and  most  suggestive  of  all  the  slo- 
gans used  in  the  business  world — to  the 
people  whose  minds  are  open  to  its  re- 
ception and  whose  pockets  are  to  fur- 
nish the  material  benefit  which  is  the 
object  of  our  campaign.  When  our  large 
army  of  non-subscribers  can,  even  in  a 
small  way,  realize  the  vast  amount  of 
good  which  is  being  created  for  our  in- 
dustry and  in  which  they  are  sharing, 
there  will,  perhaps,  be  forthcoming  a 
better  response  to  our  appeals  for  sub- 
scriptions. It  is  hard  for  anyone  who 
has  intelligently  followed  the  course  of

oifr  campaign  to  understand  why  so 
many  florists  continue  to  hold  aloof  with 
their  support.  E.  J.  Steele,  manager  of 
Steele's  Pansy  Gardens,  Portland,  Ore., 
writes,  under  date  of  October  23: 
"Friend  Young:  I  am  pleased  to  see 
the  good  work  going  on  and  often  won- 
der if  the  multitude  of  'Let  George  do 
it'  tightwads  in  America  doesn't  make 
you  feel  somewhat  weary.  Did  our  com- 
mittees not  have  the  greatest  confidence 
in  the  ultimate  attainment  of  their  aims, 
they  might  get  weary.  But  the  excel- 
lence of  their  success  so  far  is  sustain- 
ing them  in  their  work  and  their  feet  are 
still  warm." 

The  campaign  must  be  kept  going. 
We  have  entered  "the  land  of  promise," 
and  our  reward  is  already  at  hand.  Help 
us.  Friend  Non-subscriber,  to  our  goal 
of  $100,000,  so  that  we  may  all  share  in 
the  bounty  which  our  craft  so  much  de- 
sires. John  Young,  Sec'y.

had  the  decorations  for  the  city's  enter- 
taining of  King  Albert  and  Queen  Eliz- 
abeth. The  table  decorations  at  the 
home  of  Mayor  Edward  Vose  Babcock 
and  Mrs.  Babcock,  where  luncheon  was 
served,  were  especially  handsome.  Six 
vases  were  filled  with  a  combination  of 
cattleyaa,  oncidiums  and  Ward  and  Rus- 
sell roses  and  were  placed  at  regular  in- 
tervals, the  corsage  bouquets  being 
formed  of  the  same  flowers. 

Mrs.  E.  A.  Williams  has  returned  from 
a  week 's  visit  in  New  York  city,  where 
she  did  considerable  purchasing  in  an- 
ticipation of  the  coming  social  season. 

llenry  Meuschke,  Mrs.  Meuschke,  and 
their  daughter,  Miss  Rose  Meuschke, 
who  were  to  have  loft  October  28  for  a 
six  weeks'  trip  through  Yellowstone 
park  and  along  the  Pacific  coast,  have 
delayed  their  journey  because  of  the 
unsettled  conditions  and  general  unrest. 
Mr.  Meuschke  has  grave  fears  of  a  coal 
shortage  and  he  believes  that,  in  such 
an  event,  his  proper  place  is  near  the 
Saxonwald  greenhouses  of  the  Ludwdg 
Floral  Co.,  of  which  he  is  treasurer.    Gil-

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Edward  Earl  Ludwig

spent  in  New  York  city  and  in  motor-

An  orchestra,  hidden  by  a  bower  of 
palms,  chrysanthemums  and  oak  leaves, 
gave  tone  to  the  occasion.  One  windo-v 
was  devoted  to  varieties  of  chrysantTie- 
mums,  each  group  displaying  the  name 
of  the  flower.  Another  window  showed 
designs  of  fruit  in  baskets,  decorated 
with  oak  leaves.  Another  window  dis- 
played a  dinner  decoration,  while  a 
fourth  was  filled  with  novelties  for  com- 
ing-out parties  and  birthdays.  All  vis- 
itors were  presented  with  flowers  and 
the  opening  lasted  from   2   to  8  p.  m.

LOS  ANGELES,   CAL. 


The  Market. 

Chrysanthemums  are  hardening  again 
in  price,  but  the  quality  is  much  better, 
Bonnaffon  and  Appleton  especially  be- 
ing first-rate,  Roses  are  also  improving 
and  are  in  greater  supply.  Carnations 
are  plentiful,  but  high  in  price  owing 
to  a  big  demand.  The  All  Saints'  day 
demand  kept  all  the  wholesalers  busy. 

■Various  Notes. 

C.  E.  Morton,  of  Phoenix,  Ariz.,  was 
in  this  city  last  week  and  purchased 
some  of  the  large  plants  at  the  Pasa- 
dena show  for  the  Donofrio  store,  of 
which  he  is  manager.  His  brother,  Will, 
accompanied  him,  the  latter  being  on 
his  way  to  Seattle,  where  their  mother 
is  lying  dangerously  ill  with  cancer. 
Mrs.  Morton  is  staying  with  her  son, 
Hubert,  formerly  of  Long  Beach,  Cal., 
where  he  had  a  nursery  and  green- 
houses. 

Harry  Bailey,  of  Montebello,  Cal.,  is 
already  receiving  orders  for  plumosus 
K(>od  for  next  season,  when  he  expects 
the  seed  to  be  unusually  scarce  and 
for  sale  at  higher  prices.  In  previous 
years  he  has  observed  that  a  spare  year 
follows  a  prolific  one. 

Fred  R.  Hills  has  again  had  to  en- 
large the  scope  of  his  fern  business  by 
using  more  space  in  the  lath  houses  for 
forwarding  young  stock.  A  hurried  in- 
spection showed  the  stock  to  be  in  ex- 
cellent order.  The  houses  are  always 
full;  as  soon  as  the  day's  shipments  go 
out,  their  place  is  taken  by  stock  pre- 
pared under  lath.  Mr.  Hills  has  a  large 
lot  of  Adiantum  California.  A  new 
fern,  as  yet  unnamed,  is  exceptionally 
distinct,  not  only  in  foliage,  but  also  in 
habit.  Mr.  Hills  considers  it  the  finest 
he  has  ever  raised.  It  is  dwarf,  but  a 
wonderful  grower.  A  fine  lot  of  Cattleya 
Triana)  is  coming  on,  being  in  good 
condition  and  full  of  strong  slieaths. 

Paul  C.  Miller  has  put  in  a  new  ice- 
box. Tliis  new  entcrj)rise  has  already 
developed  a  good  business,  both  local 
and  shipping. 

A  visit  one  day  last  week  to  the 
store  of  W.  Armacost  &  Co.,  at  an  hour 
when  the  daily  shipment  of  roses  was 
arriving  from  the  greenhouses,  found 
a  total  of  6,000  flowers  for  the  day,  all 
of  good  quality,  notably  Ophelia,  Rus- 
sell and  Columbia,  with  long  stems  and 
fine  foliage. 

John  Morley,  park  superintendent  of 
San  Diego,  Cal.,  Mrs.  Morley  and  their 
daughter,  have  been  visiting  in  this  city 
and  in  Santa  Barbara. 

H.  R.  Richards. 


PORTLAND,    ORE. 


The  Market. 

The  market  at  present  is  a  little  short 
on  stock.  A  heavy  frost  completely  de- 
stroyed outside  stock  and  all  that  is 
being  sold  now  is  indoor-grown.  Mums 
are  the  strong  feature  now.  They  are 
selling  well,  the  retail  prices  ranging 
from  $2  to  $6  per  dozen.  Mums  are  of 
excellent  quality  this  season.    The  flow- 


ers are  of  good  quality  and  color  and 
the  foliage  is  clean  and  bright. 

Carnations  are  getting  better  and 
the  prices  have  kept  pace  with  the 
quality.  The  growers  are  now  demand- 
ing $5  per  hundred.  California  violets 
of  fairly  good  quality  are  coming  in 
dowly. 

Various  Notes. 

Clarke  Bros,  have  had  a  nice  lot  of 
ferns  and  begonias  on  sale  the  last 
few  days. 

Martin  &  Forbes  are  cutting  a -fine  lot 
of  roses. 

A.  F.  Lalane  reports  business  good; 
in  fact,  it  is  so  good  that  he  has  had  to 
secure  more  help  to  handle  it.

SAN   FRANCISCO. 


The  Market. 

This  week  marks  the  beginning  of  the 
usual  winter  tightening  of  the  flower 
market.    A  general  increase  in  price  of 


cut  stock  has  been  put  into  effect  and 
there  is  no  longer  an  abundance  of 
blooms.  Chrysanthemums  are  not  so 
plentiful  as  they  were  a  week  ago  and 
the  same  may  be  said  of  practically  all 
outdoor  stock.  Pompons  and  Chinese 
varieties  can  still  be  obtained  in  gen- 
erous quantity,  but  the  All  Saints'  day 
shipping  to  New  Orleans  has  cleaned 
up  many  of  the  large  white  and  yellow 
mums. 

Roses  are  getting  into  splendid  con- 
dition and  are  now  strong  enough  for 
successful  shipping.  An  advance  in 
price  has  been  placed  on  all  rose  stock 
corresponding  to  the  twenty-five  per 
cent  rise  on  chrysanthemum  listing;  the 
demand  is  reported  unusually  strong. 
Russell  is  in  fine  bud  now,  as  are  Co- 
lumbia and  Ophelia  and  some  of  the 
small  red  varieties.  Baby  roses,  too, 
are  arriving  in  fairly  large  quantity, 
although  the  crop  is  but  just  commenc- 
ing to  be  cut. 

The  violet  season  is  really  here,  with 
an  excellent  crop,  although  a  few  rains

rieties. 

Various  Notes. 

A  large  number  of  special  Halloween 
decorations  were  done  by  A.  0.  Stein- 
books.  One  for  a  dinner  dance  at  the 
Fairmont  hotel  was  of  pumpkins,  pom- 
pon chrysanthemums  and  black  velvet 
ribbon.  In  addition  to  the  regular 
run  of  work,  this  shop  has  been  com- 
missioned to  do  a  large  Sacramento 
wedding.  Judge  McLaughlin's  daugh- 
ter is  to  be  married  November  14,  and 
something  particularly  fine  has  been 
promised  in  the  way  of  decorations. 

An  interesting  example  of  telegraph 
service  came  to  light  in  San  Francisco 
last  week.  The  Tonseth  Floral  Co.,  of 
Portland,  Ore.,  was  the  recipient  of  a 
generous  cut  flower  order  to  be  deliv- 
ered at  the  Palace  hotel,  San  Francisco; 
at  2:52  in  the  afternoon  the  order  was 
wired  to  the  MacEorie-McLaren  Co. 
Tlie  message  was  received  at  3:12  and 
the  flowers  delivered  to  the  guest's 
room  in  the  Palace  hotel  by  3:30.  One 
agrees  with  Fred  Bertraud,  manager  of 
the  store  of  the  MacRorie-McLaren  Co., 
that  "speed"  is  the  word  in  describing 
the  incident. 

The  MacRorie-McLarcn  Co.  took 
charge  of  the  decorations  for  an  ex- 
ceedingly interesting  wedding  which 
was  held  at  the  Bohemian  Club,  Novem- 
ber 4.  A  scene  reminiscent  of  the  club's 
own  grove  of  stately  redwood  trees  was 
set  within  the  four  walls  of  the  club- 
room;  whole  redwood  trees  were  trans 
ported  from  the  Bohemian  grove.  Palms 
and  woodwardia  ferns,  oak  and  pepper 
leaves  were  combined  to  further  carry 
out  the  forest  idea,  while  chrysanthe- 
mums in  autumn  colorings  brought 
vividness  into  the  picture.  A  special 
nook  in  the  room  was  reserved  for  a 
bower  of  marguerites,  a  graceful  com- 
pliment to  the  bride,  wliose  name  was 
that  of  the  flower. 

The  shop  of  F.  C.  Jaeger  &  Son,  at 
152  Powell  street,  while  it  reports  no 
contracts  of  unusual  size,  vouches  for 
a  most  satisfactory  fall  season. 

The  first  dance  of  the  season  of  tlie 
St.  Francis  Assembly,  which  is  again 
active  after  a  period  of  somnolence  dur- 
ing the  war,  was  decorated  by  Julius 
Eppstein,  the  St.  Francis  hotel  florist.

Pelicano,  Eosai  &  Co.  had  a  striking 
window  last  week,  suggesting  the  real 
beginning  of  the  violet  and  rose  season. 
A  solid  bank  of  Russell  formed  a  foun- 
dation for  violets,  which  were  artisti- 
cally arranged  in  broken  masses  among 
the  deep  pink  of  the  roses,  forming  a 
color  combination  most  attractive. 

An  original  window  was  also  noticed 
in  the  shop  of  the  Nelligan  Sisters, 
1203  Sutter  street,  A  Halloween  scene 
was  charmingly  depicted  with  a  rustic 
gateway  arching  over  a  low,  flat  bank- 
ing of  russet  oak  leaves,  among  which 
were  yellow  pumpkins  half  hidden.  The 
outlines  of  the  gateway  were  softened 
with  sprays  of  oak  leaves  and  bronze 
pompon  chrysanthemums. 

Gen.  A.  J.  Gooch  reported  a  large 
number  of  White  Turner  orders  for  All 
Saints'  day  in  New  Orleans,  which  kept 
his  force  busy  getting  the  flowers  on  the 
way.  He  also  reports  a  growing  demand 
for  strawflowers  for  the  eastern  trade. 

J.  A.  Axell  is  busy,  as  usual,  with 
rose  and  mum  shipments.  It  is  his  opin- 
ion that  roses  will  bring  exceptionally 
good  prices  this  season. 

The  Western  Evergreen  Co.  is  mar- 
keting some  of  the  outdoor  flowers  now, 
and  a  quantity  of  berry-bearing  greens 
were  seen  at  the  depot  last  week. 

Domoto  Bros,  state  that  their  violet 
crop  is  top-notch  this  season.  Shipments 
are  steadily  growing  in  volume.  This 
company  is  also  sending  a  good  many 
roses  out  of  town,  as  well  as  the  usual 
number  of  mums. 

Enomoto  &  Co.  report  a  slight  slack- 
ening of  the  chrysanthemum  crop,  with 
the  exception  of  the  small  varieties. 
Mr.  Enomoto  states  that  his  violet 
orders  promise  to  be  heavy  this  year.

The  Florists^  Review 


NOTDMBBB    6,    1019. 


Enomoto  is  receiving  large  orders  from 
the  east  for  dyed  thistles  and  wood- 
wardias. 

Holland  bulbs  have  not  yet  arrived 
in  San  Francisco  and  although  the  deal- 
ers are  naturally  impatient  at  the  delay, 
there  is  nothing  to  do  but  v?ait.

SEATTLE,  WASH. 


The  Market. 

The  outlook  never  appeared  so  favor- 
able for  volume  of  business  as  it  does  at 
present.  Funeral  work  is  the  big  factor 
in  the  day's  work,  though  the  sale  of  cut 
flowers  is  brisk  and  there  is  a  good  de- 
mand for  attractive  baskets. 

Cut  flowers  on  the  whole  are  scarce 
and  were  it  not  for  California  mums, 
of  which  we  are  receiving  some  fine 
specimens,  the  retailer  would  be  at  a 
loss  for  stock  to  meet  the  demands  of 
the  trade.  Dahlias  up  to  October  20 
were  in  profusion,  the  early  frosts 
touching  but  few  of  the  larger  patches. 
We  had  the  first  real  frost  of  the 
season  on  the  night  of  October  24, 
which  put  an  end  to  the  dahlias  for 
this  year. 

Roses  are  scarce.  Local  mums  are 
few  and  of  inferior  quality.  Carnations 
are  scarce  here,  as  elsewhere.  Good 
stock  is  almost  unobtainable,  even  at 
fancy  prices. 

Various  Notes. 

Rosaia  Bros,  are  cutting  a  few  fine 
specimens  of  orchids  from  their  large 
selection  of  many  varieties.  The  greater 
part  of  their  big  cut  will  not  be  ready 
for  a  few  weeks.  Gardenias  are  also 
making  their  appearance  on  the  market, 
coming  from  Rosaia  Bros. 

Cyclamens  and  primroses  arc  making 
the  interior  of  the  larger  stores  attrac 
(ive  with  their  presence.  There  are 
some  fine  cyclamens  on  display,  and 
those  who  have  them  report  that  sales 
are  made  with  little  trouble. 

II.  A.  Crouch,  of  the  Woodlawn  Flower 
Shop,  reports  business  so  good  that  lie 
has  taken  on  two  extra  men,  A.  A. 
Moore,  formerly  with  the  Orpheum 
Floral  Co.,  and  Lieut.  Claud  Remover, 
recently  returned  from  France.  He  is 
also  glad  to  have  Mrs.  Minet  back  with 
him  again.  She  recently  returned  from

AKEBIOAV  SEED  TEABE  ASSOOIATION. 

Preildeiit.  B.  0.  Dongan,  PblladelphU,  Pa.; 
— cwtary-treMnrer,  C  B.  Kendel.   OleTcland.  O. 

Exports  of  seeds  from  Denmark  to  the 
United  States  increased  from  $92,532  in 
1917  to  $198,285  in  1918. 

Exports  of  seeds  from  Holland  shrank 
from  the  figure  of  17,729  metric  tons  in 
1916  to  6,027  in  1917  and  4,532  in  1918. 

W.  W.  Barnard,  Chicago,  is  attending 
the  Lake  County  Holstein  Sale  at  Crown 
Point,  Ind.,  with  a  view  to  adding  to  his 
dairy  herd. 

The  official  roster  of  the  Templin- 
Crockett-Bradley  Co.,  Cleveland,  follows 
the  name:  President,  B.  L.  Templin; 
treasurer,  P.  J.  Crockett;  secretary,  G.  P. 
Bradley. 

The  firm  of  Conrad  Appel,  Darmstadt, 
Germany,  is  now  held  in  the  fifth  genera- 
tion, having  been  founded  in  1789.  Paul 
Anding,  the  nephew  of  the  late  Ludwig 
Heyn,  is  now  the  sole  proprietor. 

A  MAN  who  has  hit  it  right  a  number  of 
times  before  says  the  1920  seed  season 
will  make  no  new  record  because  wages  are 
too  high;  he  figures  the  people  will  not 
garden  earnestly  while  they  have  too 
much  money. 

C.  F.  Saul,  of  Syracuse,  is  quoted  by 
the  Packer  as  saying  that  "the  current 
prices  are  highly  unsatisfactory  to  seeds- 
men, who  have  no  alternative  but  to 
charge  them,  notwithstanding  it  makes 
for  a  curtaihnent  in  the  volume  of  the 
business. ' ' 

Robert  Nicholson,  of  Dallas,  is  work- 
ing on  the  idea  of  doing  an  exclusively 
wholesale  seed  business  outside  his  home 
city.  To  this  end  he  is  advertising  in  a 
string  of  Texas  papers  urging  them  to 
ask  their  local  dealers  for  Nicholson's 
Tested  Seeds. 


STEVEDORE  8TRTKE   LIFTING. 

Movement  of  Holland  bulbs  from 
New  York  harbor  is  progressing  now 
and  deliveries  are  expected  to  be  made 
with  acceleration  as  greater  numbers  of 
the  striking  longshoremen  return  to 
work.  The  radical  locals  have  presented 
compromise  demands,  while  the  con- 
servative locals  voted  November  2  to 
return  to  work.  The  influence  of  the 
president  of  the  International  Long- 
shoremen's Association,  who  opposed 
the  locals'  strike  vote,  is  being  felt,  and 
more  men  are  at  the  work  of  unloading 
the  ships  in  the  harbor.  It  is  estimated 
10,000  men  are  now  on  the  job.  Cases 
of  bulbs  are  being  forwarded;  the  ques- 
tion now  is  the  condition  of  the  bulbs 
when  the  cases  are  opened. 


FEENCH  SEEDS  FEOM  NANTES. 

In  1917  vegetable  seeds  to  the  value 
of  $41,530  were  exported  to  the  United 
States  from  the  Nantes  district  in 
France;  in  1918  there  was  an  increase  in 
the  value  of  the  shipments  to  $89,620, 
but  during  the  first  seven  months  of 
1919  the  exports  were  valued  at  only 
$21,640  and  the  shipping  season  for  1919 
is  now  over.  Along  the  valley  of  the 
Loire,  from  Saumur  to  Angers,  are 
many  establishments  devoted  to  seed 
growing.

WATCHING  THE   OTHER  FELLOW. 

The  editor  of  the  American  Magazine 
calls  attention  to  a  habit  that  a  good 
many  business  men  have,  in  the  follow- 
ing paragraph: 

I  once  knew  a  man  who  ran  a  small  business 
successfully  in  the  face  of  great  odds  imposed 
against  him  by  a  strong  competitor.  He  said 
that  he  never  could  have  done  it  if  he  had  not 
learned  and  mastered  one  thing — namely,  to  look 
at  his  own  Job  and  not  waste  time  looking  over 
the  fence  at  the  big  fellow  who  was  working 
against  him.  That  la  all  there  is  to  this  envy 
and  Jealousy  business;  it  is  looking  over  the 
fence  at  the  other  fellow,  instead  of  looking  at 
the  Job  in  hand. 

There  is  probably  less  excuse  for  any- 
thing like  this  in  the  seed  business  than 
elsewhere.  There  are  so  many  oppor- 
tunities for  the  seedsman  to  keep  busy 
— to  be  finding  new  ways  of  increasing 
his  own  business,  instead  of  worrying 
because  his  competitor  is  getting  ahead. 
The  seed  merchant  has  one  of  the  big- 
gest fields  to  study.  He  must  be  ready 
to  tell  his  customers  what  to  plant  and 
how  to  plant.    And  if  he  is  informed  on

forty  pages  and  cover,  In  narrow,  handy  form  for 
the  pocket.  About  half  a  dozen  varieties  of  nut

especially  of  fruit-bearing  stock. 

The  D.  Hill  Nursery  Co.,  Inc.,  Dundee,  111.— 
▲n  attractive  wholesale  catalogue;  twenty-four

ing the  specialty,  occupy  the  largest  space  In  the 
book  and  are  offered  in  numerous  varieties,  forms 
and  sizes,  to  suit  almost  every  conceivable  pur- 
pose. The  deciduous  stock  also  ranges  from  good-

Perennials,    too,    are    listed.

of  enameled  paper,  well  illustrated,  and  bound

wide  choice  in  such  requisites  as  baskets,  flower 
stands,  vases,  ribbons,  chiffons,  Christmas  spe- 
cialties, artificial  flowers,  wreaths,  wire  designs, 
etc.  The  company's  opinion  in  regard  to  the 
future  probabilities  in  the  prices  of  such  goods 
is  stated  thus:  "Do  not  hesitate  to  buy  at 
present  prices.  You  will  undoubtedly  save  money

Do  You  Believe 

in  Gambling? 

You  can  buy  Lettuce  seeds  at  $1.00 
per  pound,  but  it  is  a  gamble/  Good 
seeds  of  known  vitality  and  purity  can- 
not be  produced  cheaply.  It  costs  us 
thousands  of  dollars  each  year  to  study 
the  behavior  of  our  strains  in  our  trial 
l^rounds,  but  we  consider  it  a  good 
investment  because  it  saves  our  cus- 
tomers money  and  gambling:.

Demr  Sir: — In  the  name  Af  the  Wisconsin  State 
Florists'  Ass'n,  I  wish  to  thank  you  for  your  exhibit 
of  both  the  pink  and  white  Asters,  at  our  annual 
meeting  held  at  Milwaukee,  September  12th. 

I  am  transmitting  herewith  the  resolution  passed 
at  that  meeting,  endorsing  these  asters  as  being  a 
very  meritorious  flower.  It  was  the  sense  of  the 
resolution  that  these  Asters  be  endorsed  by  the  asso- 
ciation as  having  the  largest  flower  and  longest  stems 
and  in  every  way  being  superior  to  any  aster  thus 


far  seen  in  the  market.    It  is   with  pleasure,  indeed, 
that  I  am  permitted  to  send  this  message. 

With  best  wishe«  for  the  future  success  of  this 
flower,  I  am.  Yours  very  truly,

The  Florists^  Review 


NOVBMBBB    6,    1919. 


Prosperity  brings  plantings. 

Decrease  of  plantings  in  war  time 
and  present  scarcity  of  labor  has  short- 
ened most  stocks  this  autumn. 

Absence  of  trained  help  affects  the 
nursery  trade  more  than  many  others, 
especially  at  a  time  when  high  quality 
stock  is  in  demand. 

The  nurseryman  who  uses  advertising 
space  to  tell  what  he  has  on  hand  this 
fall  is  clearing  out  his  stock.  This  is  a 
time  when  buyers  want  to  know  where 
they  can  get  what  they  want. 


STOCK  SCABCE  IN  EAST. 

Nursery  business  has  been  exceed- 
iiigly  good  this  autumn  in  New  England 
for  both  ornamental  and  fruit  trees. 
The  demand  for  apple  trees  has  pre- 
dominated, probably  owing  to  the  enor- 
mous crop  of  apples  this  season.  Stock 
in  many  lines  is  scarce  and  difficult  to 
get  in  the  New  England  states  at  pres- 
ent, especially  plants  of  various  kinds 
to  grow  on.  At  any  rate  there  is  little 
being  advertised.  Buyers  must  either 
send  to  places  at  a  distance  and  take 
more  risks  in  shipping  or  get  along  with- 
out needed  stock.  E.  E.  B. 


TITI.E  TO  GBOWINa  STOCK. 


May  Not  Alw&js  Qo  With  Land. 

The  California  District  Court  of  Ap- 
peal has  handed  down  an  interesting 
and  important  decision  concerning  the 
reservation  of  ownership  of  stock  de- 
livered to  a  landowner  for  growing  and 
return  later  on.  The  case  in  which  this 
decision  was  announced  (Kirkman  Nur- 
series vs.  Sargent,  183  Pacific  Reporter, 
591)  involved  a  transaction  in  nursery 
stock,  but  it  is  quite  clear  that  the  same 
legal  principle  would  apply  to  other 
stock  handled  under  similar  circum- 
stances. 

In  1915,  plaintiff  nursery  company 
and  one  B.  F.  Rose  entered  into  a  writ- 
ten contract,  by  the  terms  of  which  the 
plaintiff  was  to  deliver  100,000  fig  cut- 
tings of  assorted  varieties  free  of 
charge,  which  Rose  was  to  plant  and 
raise  upon  his  land.  During  the  two 
succeeding  winters,  Rose  agreed  to  de- 
liver back  to  plaintiff  such  of  the  cut- 
tings as  should  have  developed  into  fig 
trees,  three  feet  in  height  and  free  from 
pests  or  injury  of  any  kind.  Plaintiff 
agreed  to  pay  Rose  $30  per  thousand 
trees.  Cuttings  were  delivered  to  Rose 
under  this  contract,  but  he  later  sold  his 


interest  in  the  land  to  defendant  Sar- 
gent, with  the  consent  of  the  nursery 
company.  Defendant  was  informed  at 
the  time  as  to  the  nature  of  the  trans- 
action between  the  company  and  Rose 
and  acted  under  it  as  !Rose  's  successor 
for  some  time.  But  subsequently  de- 
fendant repudiated  any  obligation  un- 


der the  contract,  as  Rose 's  assignee,  and 
refused  to  make  further  deliveries  of 
trees  to   plaintiff. 

Not  Mere  Contract  to  Furcliase. 

Defendant  claimed  that  the  transac- 
tion amounted  to  no  more  than  -a  con- 
tract by  plaintiff  to  purchase  the  nur-

Getting  Up  a  Stock  of  the  NEW  IBOLIUN  PRIVET  in  a  Huny 


THESE  are  the  days  when  hurry-up 
methods  are  in  order  and  it  is 
especially  so  within  the  realms  of  Hor- 
ticulture. The  Nurseryman  who  antici- 
pates getting  up  a  stock  of  named  Eho- 
dodendrons,  for  instance,  and  begin- 
ning at  the  bottom,  must  realize  that 
he  has  a  several  years'  investment  be- 
fore him,  with  a  comparatively  limited 
demand  in  prospect.  Not  so  with  the 
propagator  of  some  of  the  quickly 
grown  hedge  plants  with  an  almost  un- 
limited quantity  demand. 

/Hie  accompanying  illustration  is 
froiii  a  snapshot  of  the  end  of  one  of 
our  propagating  blocks  of  the  new 
hardy  hybrid  privet,  IBOLIUM.  This 
luxuriant  growth  is  but  one  year  old. 
Its,  height  can  be  visualized  by  noting 
the  stake  which  appears  in  the  picture, 
which  is  three  feet  long,  the  bottom 
edge  resting  on  the  ground. 

When  we  decided,  a  year  ago,  to 
offer  IBOLIUM  Privet  to  the  trade 
this  autumn  our  total  stock  included 
but  the  original  plant,  some  forty  (40) 
three-year-old  plants  and  a  few  hun- 
dred one-year-olds.  The  problem  of 
just  how  to  work  up  a  stand  of  prop- 
agating wood  with  all  possible  haste 
wasi  before  us.  We  succeeded  in  get- 
ting from  our  available  stock  some  two 
thousand  buds.  These  were  put  in  a 
section  of  a  block  of  two-year-old 
Amoor  Privet,  two  to  three  buds  to  a 
stem.     These   wintered  well   and   the 


luxuriant  growth  you  see  in  this  illus- 
tration resulted,  having  furnished  us, 


during  the   first   summer,  not   only  a 
quantity  of  wood  for  summer  propaga- 


tion, but  a  big  supply  of  material  for 
hard  wood  cuttings  for  setting  direct 
in  the  field  another  spring. 

IBOLIUM  Privet  grows  with  the 
same  freedom  as  California  Privet, 
both  from  hard  and  soft  wood  cuttings, 
and  makes,  under  similar  conditions, 
even  more  luxuriant  growth  and  a 
heavier  stand  of  both  one  and  two- 
year-old  plants.  IBOLIUM  Privet 
very  closely  resembles  California 
Privet  as  to  appearance  and  habit  of 
growth  other  than  the  disposition  to 
bush  up  a  little  more  freely  at  the 
bottom.  When  it  is  realized  that  IBO- 
LIUM Privet  is  quite  as  hardy  as 
Ibota  Privet,  with  all  the  advantages 
of  California  Privet  as  a  hedge  plant, 
it  is  easy  to  realize  what  an  enormous 
demand  is  sure  to  follow  now  that 
IBOLIUM  Privet  is  being  introduced. 
That  IBOLIUM  Privet  is  going  to  be 
called  for  in  enormous  quantities  is 
indicated  by  the  numerous  inquiries 
at  our  office  for  prices  on  thousand  lots 
from  gardeners  and  private  buyers

"The  question  as  to  whether  the  cut- 
tings, when  planted,  became  annexed 
to  the  real  estate,  so  as  to  pass  with  it, 
turns  upon  the  intention  of  the  parties. 
*  *  *  From  the  terms  of  the  contract 
under  consideration  we  think  that  it 
must  be  held  that  title  to  the  cuttings 
and  to  the  nursery  stock  into  which  they 
developed  remained  in  the  plaintiff,  and 
we  also  think  that  the  evidence  is  clear 
that  the  defendant  purchased  the  land 
in  which  they  were  planted  with  notice 
of  the  contract  and  of  plaintiff's  rights. 
The  contract,  as  already  mentioned, 
provided  that  the  cuttings  were  to  be 
delivered  to  Eose  by  the  plaintiff  free 
of  expense  of  any  kind  and  were  to  be 
planted  in  the  land  described  in  the 
complaint,  cultivated,  and  cared  •  for, 
and  for  such  of  them  as  at  specified 
times  became  merchantable  nursery 
stock  the  plaintiff  was  to  pay  an  agreed 
price  per  thousand.  That  Eose's  com- 
pensation for  the  use  of  his  land  and 
for  his  work  in  caring  for  the  cuttings 
and  delivering  them,  when  in  suitable 
condition,  at  the  price  designated, 
should  have  been  fixed  in  this  manner, 
affords  no  reasonable  inference  that  the 
cuttings  and  the  young  trees  into  which 
they  developed  were  his  property;  and 
the  defendant,  taking  a  conveyance 
from  Eose  of  the  land  in  which  they 
were  growing  with  notice  of  the  plain- 
tiff's rights,  stands  in  the  shoes  of 
Eose.  That  the  defendant  recognized 
that  the  plaintiff  retained  title  to  the 
cuttings  after  they  were  planted  is 
shown  by  the  testimony  of  the  wit- 
nesses, who  related  conversations  with 
him.  When  thereafter  he  refused  to 
make  further  deliveries  to  the  plaintiff, 
the  plaintiff  was  justified  in  regarding 
the  trees  as  its  property  and  taking  ac- 
tion accordingly.  The  trial  court  in  so 
holding  correctly  construed  the  con- 
tract herein  involved."  S.

poses as  power  machines. 

Fred  Endress  &  Son  shipped  a  carload 
of  field-grown  roses  to  the  Jackson  & 
Perkins  Co.,  Newark,  N.  Y.,  last  week. 

Martin  Kohankie,  leading  perennial 
grower  in  this  section,  says  the  demand 
for  this  line  surpasses  that  of  all  pre- 
vious years. 

The  Storrs  &  Harrison  Co.  is  ship- 
ping several  cars  of  nursery  stock  daily. 
This  does  not  include  the  express  orders, 
which  also  form  a  large  amount. 

H.  G.  Norton,  of  Perry,  0.,  is  finding 
ready  sale  for  his  stock  through  classi- 
fied ads  in  The  Eeview.

ENOXYILLE,  TENN. 

Business  during  October  was  not  quite 
up  to  expectations,  for  two  reasons:  The 
unusually  warm  weather  sent  in  lots  of 
outdoor  stock,  and  a  strike  of  the  em- 
ployees of  the  street  railway  company 
has  been  in  progress  during  the  last  few 
weeks,  with  a  threatened  sympathetic 
strike  of  all  other  labor  organizations, 
and  all  lines  of  business  have  suffered 
a  decrease  in  sales  during  this  time. 

On  account  of  the  abundance  of  out- 
door stock,  there  has  been  an  oversupply 
and  a  heavy  frost  would  be  more  than 
welcome  at  this  time.  Much  of  the  out- 
door stock  is  of  inferior  quality  and  only 
serves  to  cheapen  better  stock. 

Carnations  are  blooming  more  freely, 
but  owing  to  the  warm  weather  the 
quality  has  not  improved  much.  These 
are  bringing  from  $1.50  to  $2  per  dozen. 
There  is  a  heavy  crop  of  roses.  Colum- 
bia, Russell  and  Ophelia  are  especially 
fine  and  the  better  grades  of  these  bring 
from  $6  to  $8  per  dozen.  Chrysanthe- 
mums are  now  at  their  best  and  range 
in  price  from  $2  to  $12  per  dozen.

Greenhouse  Heating 


TO  BEMOVi:  BOILER  SCA1£. 

I  have  recently  taken  charge  of  a 
range  where  the  scale  in  the  flues  of  the 
boiler  is  so  thick  that  I  believe  it  af- 
fects materially  the  boiler's  capacity. 
Is  there  a  good  formula  for  removing 
this  scale  and  what  is  the  procedure  1 

H.  G.  H.— Kan. 

In  the  case  of  many  large  boilers  it 
is  possible  to  remove  a  considerable  part 
of  the  scale  by  means  of  cold  chisels. 
The  formation  of  the  scale  may  be  ma- 
terially retarded  by  the  use  of  some  of 
the  boiler  compounds  on  the  market. 
Many,  however,  consider  that  fully  as 
good  results  may  be  secured  by  placing 
leeal  oil  (kerosene)  in  the  boilers.  The 
use  of  a  gallon  for  each  forty  horse- 
power at  first  and  then  half  that  amount 
every  two  or  three  months  will  have  a 
noticeable  effect,  both  in  removing  scale 
and  in  preventing  its  formation. 


ONE  BOILER  FOR  TWO  HOUSES. 

L  •  We  have  built  two  houses,  one  17x50 
feet  with  an  8-foot  lean-to  attached 
without  any  partition  and  the  other 
25x50  feet.  There  are  three  feet  of 
,  brick  in  the  north  wall,  three  feet  of 
'  wood  and  three  feet  of  glass  in  the 
south  wall  and  three  feet  of  wood  and 
the  rest  glass  in  the  gables.  A  service 
shed  extends  across  the  end  of  the  first 
house  and  ten  feet  across  the  second 
house.  We  wish  to  maintain  a  tem- 
perature of  50  degrees  in  the  north  house 
and  a  temperature  in  the  other  house  of 
65  degrees. 

Please  tell  us  the  amount  of  2-inch  pipe 
required  for  each  and  also  the  amount  re- 
quired if  I  use  2-inch  pipe  for  flows 
and  1%-inch  pipe  for  returns.  Would  a 
4-ineh  pipe  connected  to  the  boiler  sup- 
ply the  flows?  The  return  into  the  boiler 
will  be  about  four  feet  below  the  bot- 
tom of  the  benches.  R.  A. — Ind. 


In  case  2-inch  pipe  is  to  be  used  for 
both  flows  and  returns,  twelve  pipes 
will  be  required  in  the  cooler  house  and 
sixteen  pipes  in  the  bouse  which  is  to 
be  kept  at  65  degrees,  using  one  flow 
to  three  returns,  or,  if  preferred  in  the 
cool  house,  one  flow  to  two  returns.  In 
using  1%-inch  pipes  for  the  returns  we 
should  suggest  putting  in  three  2-inch 
flows  and  eleven  1%-inch  returns  in  the 
cool  house  and  four  flows  and  sixteen  re- 
turns in  the  warmer  house. 

While  it  would  answer  to  use  a  4-inch 
main  flow  pipe  to  supply  both  of  the 
houses,  branching  into  two  3-inch  pipes 
to  supply  each  house,  with  return  mains 
of  the  same  size,  it  would  be  better  to 
carry  a  4-inch  main  from  the  boiler  to 
the  warm  house  and  a  3-inch  main  to 
the  cool  house,  with  similar  return  con- 
nections. Although  the  combined  radia- 
tion in  the  two  houses  will  be  less  than 
1,000  square  feet,  the  circulation  will 
be  quicker  and  better  and  with  greater 
economy  of  fuel  if  flow  and  return  pipes 
of  ample  size  are  used,  especially  in  the 
warm  house. 

If  the  boiler  were  to  be  located  at  a 
considerable  distance  from  the  ends  of 
the  houses,  thus  making  it  necessary  to 
use  mains  of  considerable  length,  it 
would  be  advisable  to  put  in  either  one 
4-inch  or  two  3-inch  mains  to  supply 
both  of  the  houses,  but  as  the  mains  will

I  TO  THE  MAN  WHO  NEEDS  A  BOILER 

'"The  customer's  interest  first"— is  the  basis  of  the  KROESCHELL  standard.  This 
principle  makes  the  KROESCHELL  Policy  the  most  liberal  of  all  in  the  Green- 
house Boiler  business.  The  great  variety  of  boilers  that  we  make  places  us  in  a 
commanding  position.  It  is  the  KROESCHELL  principle  to  supply  only  the  type 
of  iboiler  best  suited  for  the  conditions.  For  this  reason  we  always  furnish  the 
most  eflScient  boiler  unit  in  every  case.

The  KROESCHELL  has  proven  its  worth  in  many  of  the  large  establishments  in 
this  country.  It  has  frequently  been  selected  by  the  most  careful  buyers  in 
competition  with  all  other  types  of  boilers.  Its  efficiency  and  capacity  are  com- 
pletely beyond  any  other  boiler. 

> 

KROESCHELL  BOILERS  have  no  bulky,  soot-accumu- 
lating surfaces— you  avoid  the  disagreeable  work  and 
trouble  indispensable  to  cleaning  boilers  with  compli- 
cated and  tortuous  back  and  forth  fire  passages. 

The  superiority  of  our  boilers  has  resulted  in  the  removal  and  abolishment  of 
hundreds  of  cast  iron  sectional  boilers— in  every  instance  KROESCHELL  BOILERS 
give  more  heat  with  the  same  piping  with  less  fuel.

HEATING  OAUFOBNIA  HOUSEa 
I  am  building  four  greenhouses,  each 
20x60  feet.  The  walls  are  six  feet  high, 
with  two  feet  of  glass  and  four  feet  of 
boards.  The  ridge  is  twelve  feet  high. 
These  greenhouses  run  north  and  south. 
It  never  gets  colder  than  20  degrees 
above  zero  and  there  is  little  wind  and 
no  snow.  I  wish  to  heat  these  houses 
to  60  degrees  with  hot  water.  The 
boiler  will  be  placed  northeast  of  the 
first  greenhouse;  that  is,  the  one  on  the 
east  side.  What  size  of  boiler  shall  I 
need!  Should  it  be  placed  in  a  pit  and 
if  80,  how  deep  a  pitt  How  shall  I  run 
the  piping  and  what  size  of  pipe  shall  I 
need!  Do  I  need  an  expansion  tank, 
and.  if  so,  where  shall  I  place  itt 
*  G.  F.  M.— Cal. 

For  heating  these  four  houses,  we 
should  select  a  boiler  rated  for  approx- 
imatelv  1,600  square  feet  of  hot  water 
radiation.  The  size  of  grate  will  vary 
somewhat  in  different  boilers,  but  one 
that  is  28x30  inches  should  be  sufficient- 
ly large.  If  possible,  have  the  top  of 
the  boiler  lower  than  the  lower  end  of 
the  returns. 

For  heating  each  house  we  should 
run  a  2%-inch  flow  pipe  on  each  plate 
and  place  underneath  each  flow  pipe, 
either  on  the  walls  or  under  the  side 
benches,  a  coil  of  three  2-inch  returns. 
One  of  these  flow  pipes  may  start  from 
the  boiler  and  the  others  may  be  sup- 
plied by  means  of  a  4-inch  main.  The 
returns  should  be  connected  with  the 
boiler  by  pipes  of  the  same  capacity 
as  the  flows. 

Give  the  flow  pipes  a  slight  fall  and 
connect  each  of  them  at  the  highest 
point  with  the  expansion  tank. 

HOW  TALL  A  SMOKESTACK? 

We  have  a  boiler,  but  do  not  know 
how  tall  a  smokestack  we  need.  The 
boiler  is  108  inches  long,  thirty  inches 
in  diameter,  and  has  twenty  3-inch  flues. 
The  place  where  the  stack  fits  on  is 
oval  in  shape  and  measures  30x48  inches. 
What  would  be  the  radiation  and  rating 
of  this  boiler  T  We  intend  to  build  a 
greenhouse  twentv  feet  wide,  with  one 
row  of  glass  on  the  sides,  and  a  16x24- 
foot  house  eight  feet  in  height  at  the 
ridge.  We  desire  to  maintain  a  tem- 
perature of  about  60  degrees  when  it 
is  10  degrees  below  zero  outdoors.

About  the  Standard  Recording  Thermometer

Lancaster,  Pa. 
Standard  Thermometer  Co.,  Boston,  Mass. 

Gentlemen:  Please  send  me  25  record  plates 
like  the  enclosed  sample,  and  I  want  to  say  that 
the  machine,  bought  a  good  many  years  back, 
is  keeping  up  its  good  work  right  along.  I  think 
it  a  very  useful  adjunct  to  good  plant  growing, 
and  it  should  be  in  every  greenhouse,  as  refer- 
ence to  it  may  often  tell  what  is  wrong  with  a 
batch  of  plants.       Very  truly  yours, 

Albert  M.  Herr. 

The  actuating  element  of  the  Standard  Record- 
ing Thermometer  is  of  lamina  metal,  which,  be- 
sides being  extremely  sensitive  to  temperature 
changes,  is  practically  indestructible.  Record 
charts  are  furnished  either  daily  or  weekly,  and 
the  whole  mechanism  is  contained  in  an  attractive 
metal  case  fitted  with  lock  and  key,  which  insures 
the  record  from  being  tampered  with. 

The  clock  movement  is  of  extremely  high  grade; 
everything  about  the  instrument  is  up  to  the  high- 
est possible  standard  of  manufacture.

Fooling  Fall 


Winter's  coming! 

Won't  be  long  now  before  you'll 
be  turning  on  heat  in  earnest. 
Many  have  already. 

Rust  holes  may  have  already 
developed  in  pipes  that  have 
lain  idle  all  summer.  The  first 
real  freeze  may  split  a  pipe 
here  or  there.  A  joint  may 
start  leaking. 

The  Emergency  Pipe  Clamp  was 
designed  for  just  such  trouble. 


Handy,  easily  applied  and  per- 
manent, it  will  save  you  from 
tearing  out  pipe  this  fall. 

Just  slap  a  bit  of  gasket  rubber 
(we  furnish  it)  over  the  leak, 
apply  the  olamp  with  an  ordi- 
nary wrench  —  and  forget  it. 
It'll  hold  for  good.

For  heating  the  house  with  steam, 
two  2%-inch  flow  pipes  and  eight  or

The  Market. 

Last  week  stock  was  abundant.  All 
grades,  good,  medium  and  poor,  were  in 
the  market,  but  the  poor  ones  were  es- 
pecially in  evidence,  as  last  week  saw 
the  cleaning  up  of  early  season  mums. 
This  week  stock  is  more  clear  of  riff- 
raff and  not  quite  so  free  in  supply,  al- 
though plenty  is  available. 

Midseason  chrysanthemums  are  a  lit- 
tle slow  in  coming;  this  perhaps  has 
been  due  to  the  week  of  dark,  cold, 
rainy  weather,  which  has  retarded  all 
growth. 

Carnations  are  plentiful.  Chrysan- 
themums have  hurt  the  sale  of  these 
and,  since  the  supply  has  been  increas- 
ing, they  are  dragging  a  little.  The 
demand  for  roses  has  been  slightly  af- 
fected. Good  ones  in  all  colors  are  avail- 
able and  sell  well,  but  prices  were  forced 
to  drop. 

A  limited  number  of  sweet  peas  and 
calla  lilies  are  now  coming  in.  A  good 
frost  finished  the  dahlias,  cosmos  and 
all  remaining  outdoor   stock. 

Various  Notes. 

Edwin  Nelson  has  returned  home 
from  twenty-five  months  in  the  army, 
including  twenty  months  in  France. 

Savey  Constantine  has  returned  from 
France  and  is  back  at  his  former  posi- 
tion at   the  Claypool  flower  shop. 

Albert  Kempe  is  cutting  some  sweet 
peas  which  are  excellent  for  this  time 
of  year. 

Preparations  are  being  rapidly  com- 
pleted for  the  exhibition  to  be  hold  No- 
vember 13  and  14  at  the  Claypool  hotel. 
The  banquet,  at  which  the  Kentucky

Uniform  Pressure 
Means  Even  Heat 


The  Steam  lines  are  the 
arteries  of  the  green- 
house. They  carry  the 
steam — that  makes  the 
heat — that  develops  the 
growing  things. 

Maintaining  just  the 
proper  temperature  at 
every  point,  regardless 
of  the  location  of  the 
boiler,  is  every  grower's 
problem.  But  it  ceases 
to  be  a  problem  with  the 
installation  of  Fisher 
Reducing  Valves. 


Fisher  Reducing  Valve,  Type  U-A, 
Inverted,  with  Increased  Outlet. 


They  give  actual  temperature  control  by 
accurate  reduction  of  the  steam  pressure — 
regardless  of  the  main  pressure. 

Give  us  a  layout  of  your 
greenhouse  indicating 
the  location  of  your  boiler 
and  let  us  show  you  how, 
at  a  small  cost,  Fisher  Re- 
ducing Valves  will  do  just 
what  we  claim.

A  Stitch  In  Time  Saves  Nine 

If  you  haven't  gotten  your  houses  in  shape  for  the  Winter— now  is  the  time  to  do  it;  a  house  permanently 
permanited  with  PERMANITB  will  stand  the  wear  and  tear— it  will  be  on  the  job  even  though  it  may  be 
below  zero— and  the  temperature  on  the  inside  will  always  be  the  same. 

There  is  a  reason  for  this— and  you  know  it;  PERMANITB  is  elastic;  n*  matter  how  strong  the  wind 
may  be,  PERMANITB  will  give— and  in  this  way  prevent  breakage  of  glass.  No  matter  how  cold  the 
weather  may  be— PERMANITB  does  not  harden,  cannot  fall  oflF  and  consequently  stays  wherever  it  has 
been  applied. 

All  in  all— PERMANITB  is  the  ideal,  the  most  dependable  and,  after  all,  the  one  and  only  original 
Asbestos  Glazing  Cement  on  the  market— always  has  been  and  always  will  be  the  best  of  its  kind;  Winter  or 
Summer,  hot  or  cold,  PERMANI  IE  remains  unchanged,  never  hardens  and  is  guaranteed  to  outlast  putty 
three  to  four  times. 

Our  latest  folder  on  PERMANITB,  which  has  just 
come  off  th#  Press,  will  give  you  further  informa- 
tion; write  for  your  copy  to-day.

Your  Beds 

Unusual  and  valuable  results  will  be  attained  by 
mixing  a  proportion  of  charcoal  (1  bushel  to  Hi) 
■with  the  soil  of  beds. 

Charcoal,  because  it  is  indestructible  and  of 
peculiar  activity,  absorbs  from  the  earth  and 
the  air  many  of  the  essentials  of  plant  nourish- 
ment and  liberates  them  as  the  plant  reijuires. 

Many  soils  contain  chemical  combinations  of 
plant  loods  that  are  not  a\ailable  unless 
broken  up  by  the  chemical  action  charcoal 
provides.

LOWELL,  MASS. 


The  Market. 

A  sharp  frost  came  on  the  night  of 
October  28,  the  first  real  frost  of  the 
season,  sufi^ciently  severe  to  make  the 
ground  hard.  The  killing  of  outdoor 
stock  will  be  acceptable  to  many  flo- 
rists, since  greenhouse  flowers  are  be- 
coming more  plentiful  now  that  chrys- 
anthemums are  out. 

Business  in  all  lines  continues  to  be 
good.  New  store  openings  have  been 
frequent,  with  a  consequent  demand  for 
baskets  of  flowers.  A  satisfactory  fea- 
ture of  these  events  is  that  usually  the 
vases  and  baskets  continue  to  be  re- 
filled for  a  time  after  the  opening  cere- 
monies. Tactful  encouragement  from 
the  trade  would  probably  increase  this 
practice. 

Various  Notes. 

The  Frank  P.  Putnam  greenhouses 
have  now  a  gorgeous  display  of  single 
mums;  over  100  varieties  are  in  bloom. 
Mrs.  Putnam  manages  the  cutting  and 
shipping  part  of  the  business,  making 
an  entry  of  the  number  and  value  of 
the  flowers  from  each  variety.  By  this 
record  these  growers  learn  the  merits  of 
each  kind  and  the  most  profitable  kinds 
from  a  specified  number.  This  firm  is 
growing  inside  about  60,000  anemones 
and  10,000  ranunculus,  all  in  flats. 
Their  30,000  carnations  are  in  excellent 
condition  and,  being  sprayed  every 
week,  are  always  clean.  The  neatest 
and  most  secure  packing  is  done  here. 

Forbes  Bros.,  of  Woburn,  who  started 
in  the  greenhouse  business  this  fall,  have 
already  planted  over  5,000  violets  and 
are  growing  some  vegetables.  William 
Forbes  recently  returned  from  overseas, 
where  he  was  with  the  Tenth  Battalion, 
Canadian  Infantry,  spending  over  four 
years  in  the  trenches  in  France.  Michael 
Forbes  was  a  visitor  here  buying  stock. 

J.  B.  Halley,  who  was  formerly  in 
business  in  Lawrence,  Mass.,  and  more 
recently  in  J.  J.  McManmon  's  store,  has 
returned  from  visiting  in  Florida  and 
Alabama  and  was  calling  on  friends  in 
the  trade  in  this  city  last  week.

Here's  Something  to  Think  About 

The  most  economical  for  you  to  buy 
is  the  longest  service  paint.  Labor 
for  repainting  is  more  costly  than 
the  higher  pnce  asked  for  the  best

If  a  ton  of  sheep  manure  analyzing  2<ifc  Ammonia.  2%  Phos.  Acid  and  2%  Potash  is  worth  $30.00  a  ton,  how  much  is  a  ton

KAHLER  REAL  RED  POTS 

The  new  quality  of  our  product  has  more  than  doubled  our  output  in  six  months.  Our 
experience  has  proved  the  necessity  for  a  TOUGH,  "REAL  RED,"  yet  very  POROUS 
flower  pot.    Allow  us  to  prove  our  statement  by  expressing  to  you  samples. 

KAHLER  POTTERY  CO.,  928  Omaha  Natl  Bank  Bidg.,  Omaha,  Neb. 


MILWAXJKEE,   WIS. 


The  Market. 

One  of  the  old-fashioned  gluts  has 
come  upon  us,  the  amount  of  stock  com- 
ing in  exceeding  by  far  the  amount  go- 
ing out.  The  early  mums  seem  to  have 
run  into  a  crop  of  good  roses  and  the 
result  has  been  an  overstocked  market. 
The  receipts  of  pompon  mums  are  novp 
heavy  and  add  weight  to  the  market. 
Prices  have  held  fairly  well  on  good 
stock,  however,  due  no  doubt  to  the 
efforts  of  the  wholesaler  to  meet  his 
last  year's  prices.  Some  cold,  dark 
weather  will  check  the  oncoming  flow- 
ers in  short  order  and  we  may  find  con- 
ditions changed  in  a  short  time. 

Various  Notes. 

Saturday,  November  1,  the  new  store 
of  Anderton  &  Seeman  opened  for  busi- 
ness at  118  "Wisconsin  street.  The  store 
is  well  arranged  and  carried  a  good 
stock  of  flowers  and  plants.  Mrs.  M.  O. 
Seeman,  who  was  in  the  employ  of  Cur- 
rie  Bros.  Co.  for  twenty  years,  was  busy 
receiving  congratulations  and  best 
wishes  for  success  from  her  many 
friends.  With  the  excellent  location 
and  the  experience  of  Mrs.  Seeman 
among  flower  buyers,  the  business  should 
be  quite  successful. 

The  trade  about  Milwaukee  is  invited 
to  attend  a  sort  of  house-warming  No- 
vember 10  at  the  store  of  the  E.  Welke 
Co.,  at  752  Third  street.  Henry  Welke 
says  things  are  being  arranged  in  fine 
shape,  and  he  is  justly  proud  of  the  fine 
new  store. 

Fred  Bliese,  of  the  Waukeslia  Floral 
Co.,  was  in  Milwaukee  last  week  on 
business.  Mr.  Bliese  says  business  is 
good  and  his  mums  are  moving  excel- 
lently. 

Frank  .Tohiisfin  and  TI.  Xiobiilir,  of  the 
A.  L.  Randall  Co.,  Cliieago,  were  in  the 
city  Tuesday,  November  4. 

J.  P.  McCarthy,  of  the  M.  Rice  Co., 
Philadelphia,  is  calling  on  the  trade  this 
week,  making  his  last  call  before  Christ- 
mas. 

The  Florists'  Advertising  Club  is  run- 
ning newspaper  copy  again,  fighting  the 
low  cost  of  flowers. 

Tho  Fox  Point  Floral  Co.  and  the 
Kamp  &  Spinti  Co.  are  consigning  some 
eiceUwiit  bunched  mums  to  this  market. 

There  seem  to  be  as  many  flower 
sales  as  formerly,  maybe  more,  but  the 
overabundance  of  flowers  makes  busi- 
ness seem  quiet.  A.  H.  M.

The  Market. 

Business  continues  good,  with  plenty 
of  stock  of  all  kindSj  including  good  car- 
nations and  extra  fine  chrysanthemums, 
both  large  and  pompon.  A  few  callas 
are  seen.  Violets  are  coming  in  much 
better.  Prospects  for  the  remainder  of 
the  fall  and  for  the  winter  are  good  and 
everybody  is  stocking  up  for  the  holi- 
days. 

Various  Notes. 

Since  Sunday  was  the  day  after  All 
Saints'  day,  most  of  the  downtown  flo- 
rists were  open  to  meet  the  large  de- 
mand for  flowers,  but  no  deliveries  were 
made. 

E.  B.  Sackett,  of  the  Fostoria  Floral 
Co.,  Fostoria,  O.,  and  his  assistants  have 
been  busy  with  funeral  work.  This  firm 
is  showing  a  fine  lot  of  plants,  includ- 
ing primroses,  begonias  and  poinsettias. 

J.  L.  Schiller's  store  is  displaying 
some  attractive  Scotch  heather  in  va-

the  McDowall  wedding  Monday,  Novem- 
ber 3,  while  Mrs.  J.  B.  Freeman  had  the 
bridal  bouquets  for  the  same  event. 

Mrs.  Henry  Klunder  left  Tuesday,  No- 
vember 4,  for  Cincinnati  to  join  Mr. 
Elunder,  who  is  now  with  Henry  W. 
Sheppard. 

Visitors  last  week  included  Eolf  Zet-

NEWARK,  N.  J. 


The  Market. 

Chrysanthemums  are  better  than  here- 
tofore this  season  and  of  many  varie- 
ties, ranging  from  the  small  ones  to  the 
largest.  Prices  are  not  so  high  as  a 
year  ago  at  this  time.  Dahlias  are  also 
excellent  and  find  a  ready  sale.  Carna- 
tions look  well  when  they  first  come  into 
the  market,  but  do  not  stand  up  well. 
Fresh-picked  flowers  of  first  quality  will 
begin  to  go  to  sleep  in  less  than  twenty- 
four  hours;  their  lack  of  vitality  is  laid 
to  the  warm,  open  fall.  Autumn  foliage, 
for  the  same  reason,  has  not  been  up  to 
par  this  season.  Because  of  the  lack  of 
sharp  frosts,  the  oak  and  other  foliage 
generally  used  at  this  time  of  the  year 
in  large  quantities  partially  turned  and 
then  began  to  dry  up. 

Various  Notes. 

A  timely  Halloween  display  in  one 
of  the  windows  of  Philips  Bros.,  938 
Broad  street,  attracted  much  attention. 
The  display  consisted  of  cornstalks, 
pumpkins,  autumn  oak  foliage  and 
calendulas.  This  firm  reports  that  Oc- 
tober was  a  big  wedding  month  with  it 
this  year,  a  number  of  the  weddings  be- 
ing large  ones.

Figure  Costs  by  the  Year 


A  wise  business  man  figfures  costs  by  the  year,  right  down  the  line,  and  especially  so  if  his 
business  has  to  do  with  sfreenhouses.  He  knows,  either  by  experience  or  from  a  close  study  of  the 
subject,  that  the  only  businesslike  method  of  determining  material  costs  in  greenhouse  building  is 
by  the  year — first  cost  and  up-keep  cost. 

CYPRESS,  "the  wood  eternal"  for  greenhouse  construction,  is  positively  the  cheapest  wood  to 
use,  figured  by  its  years  on  the  job,  without  repairs  or  replacements. 

All  good  constructors  in  these  days  are  insisting  on  genuine  "Tide- Water"  Cypress,  "The  Wood 
Eternal" — every  board  and  bundle  bearing  the  famous  Cypress  Trade-mark. 

Vol.  S,  CYPRESS  Pocket  Library,  is  a  little  book  filled  with  a  big  bunch  of  facta  and  figures  about 
greenhouse  construction— profitable  readinR.  There  are  4!)  books  in  the  "Library,"  all  of  which  give 
useful  facts  and  plans  about  HOW.  WHEN  and  WHERE  to  use  CYPRESS.  "The  Wood  Eternal."

The  Market. 


Market  conditions  remain  about  the 
same  as  last  week,  with  an  ample  supply 
of  local  stock  for  all  purposes  at  regular 
prices.  Weather  conditions  have  been 
somewhat  unseasonable,  being  several 
degrees  above  normal  in  temperature, 
accompanied  by  considerable  mugginesa. 
Clirysanthemums  are  now  in  good  qual- 
ity and  quantity  and  find  ready  demand. 
Zinnias  have  been  showing  to  good  ad- 
vantage, being  a  somewhat  new  offering

Great  Saving  in  Preparing 
Land  for  Carnation  Stock 

Following  is  what  Kretschmar  Bros., 
of  West  Nyack,  New   York,  say  of  the 
System: 
"It  has  always  been  a  great  expense 
to  prepare  our  land  for  the  carna- 
tion stock  before  planting,  as  each 
day  we  would  only  plow  enough  for 
the  day's  planting  so  that  we  could 
work  In  moist  soil.    This  also  would 
be  all  hand  raked  to  get  It  in  the  best 
condition.      We  can  now  plow  the 
whole  strip  and  harrow  with  a  spiked 
tooth  harrow  and  use  the  Skinner 
System  after  each  day's  planting  to 
water  them  down."

In  all  our  experience  and  inyestigatioo 
we  had  never  found  a  preparation  for 
bulbing  over  the  outside  of  a  greenhouse 
that  was  quite  satisfactory,  until  we  ran 
across  PERMANITE.  This  was  about 
four  years  ago.  At  that  time  we  set  about 
investigating  the  merits  of  PERMANITE 
and  proceeded  to  watch  the  results  of  its 
application  to  greenhouse  roofs. 

Last  year  we  were  entirely  convinced 
of  its  high  Quality  and  durability,  and  ac- 
cepted the  western  agency  for  the  sale  of 
these  goods. 

We  applied  PERMANITE  to  hundreds 
of  greenhouse  roofs,  over  almost  every 
part  of  the  United  States. 

The  results  obtained  were  highly  satis- 
factory indeed.  Glass  roofs  of  all  kinds, 
both  old  and  new,  were  made  water-tight 
and  air-tight,  saving  thousands  of  plants 
from  being  spoiled  by  water  dripping  on 
them  and  saving  many  hundreds  of  tons  of 
coal  by  making  the  roofs  proof  against 
the  wind  and  storms  of  winter. 

We  give  PERMANITE  our  unqualified 
endorsement  and  recommend  it  highly  for 
all  kinds  of  glazing. 

We  have  a  very  large  stock  on  hand 
in  our  warehouse  and  can  ship  imme- 
diately.

Why  tfre  the  Michigan  grown  bulbs  better  than 
Holland    bulbs? 

(1)  No  ocean   trip  to  hurt  the   bulbs. 

(2)  The  bulbs  ripen  better  In  Michigan  than 
In  Holland.  Owing  to  the  dry  climate  in  Mich- 
igan, the  bulbs  shrink  more  but  give  you  a 
better  flower  and  are  better  for  forcing  and 
cheaper.

NEW  FERN  "LIBERTY" 
We  take  great  pleasure  in  offering  this  new 
Fern.  We  were  the  introducers  of  the  Big  Four, 
Baby's  Breath,  Roosevelt,  and  Teddy  Junior.  The 
latter  is  conceded  to  be  the  very  best  of  all  F(>m8, 
and  now  we  Introduce  the  distinct  new  Fern 
Liberty.  The  foliage  is  of  a  decided  bluish  cast. 
The  pinnas  are  beautifully  crested,  while  the 
fronds  are  quite  frequently  subdivided  on  the 
ends,  often  Into  as  many  as  six  points,  giving 
it  a  very  distinctive  appearance.  This  Fern  will 
rank  right  up  with  Teddy  Junior  and  give  you 
something  entirely  different.

Just  because  you  are  not  going  to  build  this  year— and  dismiss 
all  greenhouse  building  thoughts  until  spring. 

Next  spring!  Why,  that's  just  when  you  want  the  houses.  That  means  you'll  have  to 
plan  them  NOW  and  place  your  order  NOW,  so  work  can  begin  as  soon  as  the 
frost  is  out  of  the  ground. 

And  that  new  AGMCO  woodworking  plant  just  completed  in  Pana— that'll  be  busy  all  during 
the  zero!  weather  getting  woodwork  of  the  highest  grade  ready  for  those  houses. 

That'll  mean  a  lot  to  you,  and  an  AGMCO  representative 
is  full  to  the  brim  with  reasons  why. 

One  may  be  in  your  neighborhood  next  week — want  to  pump  him? 

Then  mail  a  card  NOW,  before  you're  interrupted.

Some  Things  No  Other  Builder  Does 


Just  because  one  builder  does  thiugs  that  no  other 
builder  does,  may  be  because  no  other  builder  thinks 
they  are  worth  doing. 

Then  again  some  builders  don't  do  some  of  the 
things  others  do,  because  it  costs  too  much  to  do 
them,  and  leave  the  larger  profit  they  are  bound  to 
make  you  pay  them. 

The  things  we  do  are  worth  doing. 

Worth  it  to  the  house. 


Worth  it  to  you. 


la  our  Semi-Iron  House— here  are  four  things  that 
we  do,  that  no  other  builder  does: 

1 .  The  bars  are  fastened  to  the  ridge  by  a  steel 
bracket. 

2.  Where  bars  need  to  be  spliced,  it  is  done  with 
a  special  no-leak  clamp  tight  joint.        ^ 

3.  The  clamp  column  fittings  are  malleable  iron, 
made  to  carry  three  bolts  (not  just  one  or  two). 

4.  The  capping  over  the  pipe  purlin  end,  keeping 
out  moisture  and  preventing  insects  from  lodging 
there. 

These  are  not  all  the  things  we  do  dififerent. 
Just  some  of  them.

Home-grown   Flowers 

Roses  -  Carnations  -  Beauties 

Chrysanthemums  and  Fancy  Pompons 


WHY  THEY  ARE  BETTER 

The  superior  value  of  home-grown  flowers  is  that  they  are  perfectly  fresh. 
We  bring  them  direct  from  our  greenhouses  to  our  store  three  and  four  times 
per  day,  a  few  hours  after  being  cut.  On  perishable  stock  like  flowers,  this  is  a 
big  item  regarding  Quality.  We  pay  our  growers  ten  to  fifteen  per  cent  higher 
wages  than  is  paid  in  the  Chicago  district.  We  have  better  men  and  they  grow 
better  flowers.  We  are  Rose  specialists  and  are  now  cutting  from  245,000  Rose 
plants  all  in  one  rarige  of  glass,  besides  quantities  of  Mums,  Carnations  and  Beau- 
ties. '  ♦— 

With  all  these  advantages  for  our  stock  our  prices  are  never  higher  than 
other  houses  ask,  and  in  a  number  of  instances  lower.

The  Flprigts^  Review 


November  13,  1919. 


I 


A  Field  of  Healthy  Lilies,  Purchased  by  the  American  Bulb  Co.,  for  its  Customers. 


Some  Pertinent  Facts 

Lilium  Giganteum 

The  question  to  decide  is  this: 
"Is  it  Price  or  Quality  you  are 
looking  for  in  Lily  Bulbs  ?" 

Before  our  Mr.  A.  Miller  left  for 
Japan,  he  was  asked  by  our 
many  customers  to  bring  back 
only  the  best  of  this  year's  small 
crop.  To  enable  him  to  accom- 
plish this,  it  was  necessary  to 
reduce  the  quantity  obtained  to 
less  than  one-half  what  he  start- 
ed out  to  purchase.  It  required 
more  than  $100,000  investment, 
which  the  American  Bulb  Com- 
pany has  made.  We  invested 
this  large  sum  for  a  small  quan- 
tity of  Bulbs. 

Lily  Bulbs  could  have  been  purchased  in  Japan  at  a  much  lower  price  than  we  paid, 
but  the  price  paid  governed  the  quality  obtained. 

We  herewith  show  photographs,  one  of  a  field  that  is  diseased,  another  of  a  healthy 
field.  The  diseased  field  shows  the  tops  entirely  dead.  On  the  healthy  bulbs  the  tops 
remain  until  dug;  only  the  foliage  turns  yellow  at  maturity.  In  diseased  fields,  the 
stem  starts  to  die.  The  bulbs  in  a  diseased  field  swell  and  when  dug  have  a  very  de- 
ceptive appearance.  This  is  due  to  the 
fact  that  the  diseased  plant  has  no  top 
whereby  evaporation  can  take  place. 
In  the  healthy  plant  evaporation  goes 
on  continually,  and  after  the  Bulb  is 
dug,  it  starts  to  shrink.  So  size  does 
not  determine  the  exact  quality  of  a 
Lily  Bulb,  nor  does  appearance. 

Satisfaction 

Some  people  are  satisfied  and  made  happy  with  a 
low  price,  then  made  sad  with  the  results.  Others 
know  and  demand  quality.  The  stability  of  the 
American  Bulb  Company  is  being  built  on  the  rock 
of  quality.  Its  clients  embrace  a  country-wide  list 
of  Florists  who  have  learned  that  every  purchase 
made  from  the  American  Bulb  Company  is  a  sat- 
isfactory purchase. 

Don't  let  a  few  dollars  stand  in  the  way  of  your  possess- 
ing the  best  quality  of  Lily  Bulbs  to  be  had  this  season.

Inspecting  Lily  Fields  in  the  Mountains  of  Japan.    (Our  Mr.  A.  Miller,  Lily  Bulb  Experts  and 

the  Horticultural  Inspector.) 


Our  shipper  has  received  letters 
and  holds  offers  in  his  posses- 
sion from  the  most  reliable  con- 
cerns in  America,  who  are  fight- 
ing hard  to  secure  his  Bulbs 
away  from  us,  knowing  that  he 
possesses  and  controls  the  real 
quality  of  Lilium  Giganteum 
grown  in  Japan. 

Is  not  all  this  evidence?  Do  not  competitors,  in  trying  to  get  our  source  of  supply  away 
from  us,  admit  that  they  reaUze  and  know  that  there  is  only  one  place  where  the  as- 
surance of  high-class  Lily  Bulbs  can  be  had,  and  that  this  is  the  source  that  the 
American  Bulb  Company  has? 

This  letter  came  to  us  unsolicited: 

But  it  was  no  surprise — we  knew  the  Bulbs

Do  You  Sell  Flowers? 

y 

Or  Do  You  Merely  Let  the  Public  Buy  Them? 

Too  many  florists  "accept  orders"  for  flowers  -they  don't 
force  their  sales. 

Those  whose  books  show  real  profits  are  the  ones  who 
really  sell  their  stock.  They  ''arouse  interest"  and  "create 
desire"  for  their  merchandise. 

That  which  makes  the  public  pay  you  its  money  for  your 
flowers  is  their  beauty.  The  corner  grocer  displays  his 
cabbages,  but  too  often  the  florist  hides  his  flowers. 

To  increase  the  flower  business  and  to  promote  the  display 
and  sale  of  flowers,  we  submit—

HAT  the  merchant  needs" 
always  has  been  —  and  always 

will    be  —  our   basic   idea   in   making 

cash  registers. 


This  business,  as  it  stands  today,  is 
the  result  of  constant  study  of  mer- 
chants' needs. 

Every  suggestion  that  we  receive  is 
investigated.  The  practical  ones  are 
adopted  and  given  very  exacting 
mechanical  tests  before  they  are 
manufactured. 


During  the  past  10  years  we  have 
made  6,508  improvements  in  our 
product. 

These  improvements  were  added  so 
that  National  Cash  Register  users' 
could  be  supplied  with  machines  that 
would  give  them  the  utmost  possible 
service. 

Modern  National  Cash  Registers  are 
practical,  useful,  accurate,  and  durable 
—  the  best  we  can  make. 


Nationals  are  now  used  in  296  lines  of  business

Florists  find 
Stewarts  cost  less  to  run 

Simplified  design  saves  $200  to  $300  in  first  cost 

Stewarts  are  doing  wonderful  work  for  Florists  everywhere. 
They  choose  Stewarts  because:  , 


The 
truth 


The 
proof 


Stewart  design  eliminates  hundi'eds  of  needless  parts, 
thus  saving  $200  to  $300  in  first  cost. 

You  get  a  truck  with  greater  strength — fewer  parts 
to  wear — less  dead  weight. 

With  less  weight  to  move,  you  buy  less  gas,  oil  and 
fewer  tires. 

One  Florist's  experience: 

I  have  had  my  Stewart  truck  for  six  months  and 
can  say  that  I  am  more  than  satisfied.  It  has  done 
heavy  work  every  day  and  I  haven' t  spent  one  cent 
on  repairs.  It  runs  almost  14  miles  per  gallon  of 
gas  with  a  load.

MILADY 

"Say  It'^  with  the  Finest  of  Red  Roses 


np  HERE  liever  was  a  better  Red  Rose  than  well  grown 
Milady — and  Milady  is  perfectly  at  home  at  our  place. 
Milady  of  our  quality  is  one  of  the  best  money-makers 
Retail  Florists  ever  have  handled.  No  other  Red  Rose 
can  compare  with  it  for  popularity  with  the  public.  We  welcome 
Buyers  of  Roses  who  wish  to  see  Milady  growing,  but— 

We  have  nothing  to  sell  at  the  greenhouses 

Our  entire  cut  is  sold  by 

E.  C.  AMLING  CO. 

Chicago's  largest  and  most  centrally 
located   wholesale   cut   flower  house. 

Our  Milady  Roses  are  not  only  the  very  finest  Red  Roses  in  the  Chicago 
market  (stems  12  to  36  inches,  big,  solid  heads,  perfect,  rich  velvety  color), 
but  we  are  cutting  heavily  each  day.  For  us  Milady  not  only  gives  splendid 
quality,  but  a  large  and  steady  cut. 

ORDER  OF  THE  L  C.  AMLING  CO. 

Ask  for  No.  2*s  Milady 

You  Retail  Florists  who  want  the  best  in  your  store  cannot  afford  to  be 

without  these  Roses. 

AND  REMEMBER— 

Weiss-Spandikow  Roses  never  are  sold  to  Department  stores  or 
Peddlers— they  are  sold  only  to  recognized  Retail  Florists.  We" 
feel  we  help  ourselves  by  protecting  the  Retailers.

AUTUMN  OUTLOOK 

AUSPICIOUS  AUGUR 

T 

Consideration  of  the  factors  which  affect  the  prosperity  of  the  trade 
induces  confidence  in  the  belief  of  many  florists  that  the  coming  season  zvill 
set  a  high  mark  for  normal  business.  To  the  busy  florist  this  glance  qt  the 
industrial  barometer  zvill  be  reassuring. 


IIKH^: 


EPT   on   the   jump   by   the 

K  necessity  of  meeting  the 
everyday  problems  that  at- 
tend the  increasing  busi- 
ness of  autumn  and  the 
difficulties  of  the  present 
commercial  situation,  the 
t'V^''  A  busy  florist  wonders  oc- 
^  -l|    casionally   if  he   is  going 

aright,  if  his  hurried  judg- 
ment of  current  affairs  is  correct.  One 
day  a  newspaper  scarehead  causes  doubt 
and  depression;  another  day's  report 
gives  rise  to  corresponding  elation.  It  is 
hard,  in  the  midst  of  these  actions  and 
reactions,  to  strike  a  balance. 

Many  florists,  like  successful  men  in 
other  lines,  have  an  uncanny  ability  to 
size  up  the  situation  on  the  move,  their 
subconscious  impressions  steering  them 
in  the  right  channels.     They  look  far 
enough  ahead  to  see  out  in  the  open,  be- 
yond the  present  hurry  and  bustle,  and 
so  anticipate  conditions  which   have  a 
vital  effect  upon  their  businesses.    They 
are   the   florists   who  last  season  kept 
their  ranges  going,  to  their  present  ad- 
vantage; who  last  summer  laid  in  coal, 
and   don't   worry   now;    who   were   not 
deterred   by    high    prices 
of   supplies   from    buying 
early,    and    rest    easy    in 
consequence  at  the  present 
time.    Their  faith  is  in  a 
bounteous    season    ahead. 
What   is  the  justification 
of  it?     Cast  up  the  busi- 
ness balance  and  see. 

Crux  of  High  Prices. 

In  the  minds  of  the  peo- 
ple of  this  country  no  com- 
mercial factor  is  more 
prominent  than  that  of 
present  high  prices.  To 
some  they  are  a  menace; 
to  others  they  are  a  boon, 
the  difference  in  viewpoint 
arising  from  the  personal 
advantage  or  disadvantage 
of  the  individual.  High 
prices  in  themselves  are 
not  nearly  so  important 
as  the  causes  of  them.  In- 
sofar as  they  represent  a 
higher  living  scale,  they 
are  innocuous.  Insofar  as 
they  are  the  result  of  un- 
sound financial  or  commer- 
cial methods,  they  repre- 
sent danger,  but  the 
danger  lies  not  in  the  high 
prices  but  in  the  cause  of 
them.  For  the  florist  who 
pays  high  prices  and  re- 
ceives    high     prices,     the 


only  problem  involved  is  the  greater 
capital  necessary  to  carry  on  business. 
Actually  for  the  retailer  the  prime 
consideration  is  not  the  cause  of  high 
prices,  but  the  possible  effect  on  the 
public.  Will  the  public  pay  for  flowers 
prices  high  enough  to  make  profits  for 
grower  and  retailer?  Can  the  grower 
pay  the  high  prices  asked  for  giganteum 
lily  bulbs  and  pass  the  increase  along 
to  the  consumer? 

Public  Is  Spending. 

For  a  reply  to  this  question  one  has 
only  to  look  for  reassurance  to  other 
retail  trades  and  observe  the  "public's 
spending  proclivities.  The  dry  goods 
trade  reports  unprecedented  sales  in 
luxury  lines;  the  shoe  manufacturers 
complain  that  their  high  prices  exist 
because  there  is  no  sale  for  the  cheap 
products  even  to  the  working  man; 
butchers  say  everyone  buys  porterhouse 
steaks  and  veal  chops  and  no  one  takes 
boiling  beef  and  rump  steak  at  ridiculous 
figures;  silk  and  wool  manufactUriers  are 
behind  on  orders,  but  cotton  clothing 
does  not  have  nearly  the  same  demand.

such  method  of  expenditure,  he  will 
hardly  doubt  that  a  public  which  buys 
thus  will  pay  proportionate  prices  for 
flowers. 

That  the  public  spends  thus  is  not  so 
much  a  cause  for  wonder  when  one  con- 
siders the  favorable  factors  in  the  busi- 
ness situation.  This  country  is  enjoying 
an  export  trade  greater  than  it  has  ever 
had  in  history;  its  crops  this  year  were 
all  excellent,  if  not  record-breakers;  a 
larger  number  of  people  are  employed 
than  were  ever  before,  and  at  better 
wages.  Though  anticipated  with  grave 
concern,  the  steel  strike  actually  caused 
little  disturbance  in  the  general  business 
conditions  of  the  country.  The  coal 
strike,  beheld  in  similar  manner  before- 
hand, proved  short-lived.  Its  effect  on 
the  country's  industry  was  less  than 
expected.  These  are  two  nation-wide  ex- 
amples out  of  a  series  of  many  strikes 
in  recent  months.  It  is  remarkable 
evidence  of  this  country's  firm  industrial 
prosperity  that  the  labor  unrest  has  in 
reality  affected  it  so  little.  A  nation  on 
the  brink  of  commercial  disaster  would 
never  pass  through  such  disturbances  so 
steadfastly  and  calmly  as  this  country 
has  in  the  last  few  months. 
There  is  much  talk  of 
money  spent,  but  at  the 
same  time  savings  banks 
deposits  show  greater  to- 
tals than  ever  and  invest- 
ments have  reakched  marks 
never  before  dreamed  of. 

Large  Investments. 

The  remarkable  business 
transacted  day  after  day 
on  stock  exchanges  is  at- 
tributed to  the  vast 
amount  of  buying  by  the 
public  in  addition  to  the 
manipulators'  activity. 
Figures  quoted  on  another 
page  of  this  issue  tell 
of  the  enormous  capital  is- 
sues authorized  in  .  new 
corporations.  And  Dun 
and  Bradstreet  report 
fewer  commercial  failures 
than  ever  before  in  the 
decades  during  which  rec- 
ords have  been  kept. 

Families  today  are  earn- 
ing far  more  than  before 
the  war.  While  our  sol-

remain  in  offices  and  factories  after  the 
war  is  over  and  the  men  have  returned. 
Thus  a  household  may  now  receive  total 
earnings  twice  to  several  times  that  of 
ante-bellum  days,  according  to  the  num- 
ber of  workers  in  the  family.  Hence 
the  abundance  that  leads  to  purchases 
of  luxuries  of  all  kinds.  Truly,  in  such 
a  situation,  the  outlook  for  the  florist 
is  bright.  When  more  families  are  buy- 
ing homes  than  ever  before,  when  in- 
dulgences never  contemplated  previously 
can  now  be  gratified,  the  sale  of  flowers 
promises  to  surpass  all  normal  demands. 
Such  general  factors  as  prevented 
some   businesses  from  feeling  confident 


in  the  future  are  being  settled  by  legis- 
lation now  being  enacted.  Action  on 
the  peace  treaty  is  expected  to  be  def- 
initely determined  within  a  short  time; 
railroad  legislation  is  before  Congress 
and  other  such  matters  as  affect  flo- 
rists only  as  they  affect  the  pros- 
j)erity  of  customers'  businesses  are  being 
similarly  settled.  Elections  in  Massa- 
chusetts gave  confidence  to  citizens  of 
that  commonwealth  and  indicated  to 
those  of  other  communities  that  the 
radical  spirit  of  the  country  was  not  so 
strong  a  danger  as  some  supposed. 

The  florist 's  problem,  then,  is  not  one 
of  trade  difliculties,  but  merely  one  of 


getting  prices  high  enough  to  meet  his 
advanced  costs  and  still  yield  him  the 
profit  to  which  he  is  entitled.  If  he  is 
able  to  pass  along  the  increases  in  prices 
which  aflfect  him,  his  problem  is  solved. 
In  the  present  situation  there  is  basis 
for  confidence  that  he  can  get  such  prices 
as  remove  his  worries.  Though  valley 
has  advanced  to  20  cents  a  spray,  all 
that  can  be  had  is  sold.  Similarly,  other 
stock  which  increases  in  price  fot  like 
reasons,  will  be  disposed  of.  Facing  in- 
creased prices  on  all  sides,  the  public  will 
not  be  deterred  by  higher  prices  for  flow- 
ers, particularly  when  they  have  the 
money  to  spend  as  now.

A  WARNING  FROM  THE  F.  T.  D. 

At  the  recent  business  meeting  held 
at  Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  it  was  unanimously 
decided  at  the  annual  meeting  of  the 
board  of  directors,  which  immediately 
followed  the  final  adjournment  of  the 
regular  session,  that  it  was  the  sense 
of  the  meeting  that  more  drastic  action 
was  necessary  to  bring  habitually  slow- 
paying  members  to  the  realization  that 
payment  must  be  made  according  to  the 
constitution  and  by-laws — article  11, 
sections  6  to  10,  inclusive — which  fully 
explain  the  duty  of  the  secretary  rela- 
tive to  overdue  bills.  Disputed  bills,  of 
which  many  are  received  at  the  clearing 
house,  shall  be  disposed  of  either  by  the 
secretary  or  through  the  regular  arbi- 
tration committee. 

The  association  has  grown  too  large 
and  its  responsibilities  too  great  to  al- 
low some  members  to  have  their  names 
perpetually  on  the  clearing  house  rec- 
ords; it  is  bad  business  and  should  be 
overcome.  Always  keep  this  slogan  in 
mind,  "Say  It  with  Flowers — at  the  end 
of  thirty  days.  Say  It  with  a  Check." 

The  secretary  does  not  care  to  use  his 
ofiicial  prerogative  unless  it  is  absolutely 


necessary.  Leniency  has  alwaj's  been 
practiced  to  those  who  have  shown  any 
tendency  toward  improving  their  busi- 
ness standing.  The  truly  unfortunate 
one  will  always  receive  courteous  treat- 
ment, provided  he  can  and  will  prove 
to  this  office  that  his  case  is  one  of  mis- 
fortune. We  have  been  bitterly  criti- 
cised many  times  for  not^^ercising  and 
fulfilling  the  exact  meaning  of  the  by- 
laws. The  time  has  come  when  the  pro^- 
visions  of  the  by-laws  relating  to  the 
clearing  house  will  be  executed. 

Albert  Pochelon,  Sec  'y. 
P.  S. — All  members  who  have  been  of- 
ficially warned  to  settle  all  overdue  bills 
and  failed  to  do  so,  will  find  that  their 
names  will  not  appear  on  the  Christmas 
membership  list,  which  will  be  issued 
on  or  about  Decemtar  10. 


WEDDINGS    REPLACE    FUNERALS. 

Every  florist,  even  if  he  this  year  fails 
to  count  the  large  October  total  he  did 
a  year  ago,  is  glad  funerals  for  the  last 
month  were  not  up  to  those  of  a  year 
ago.  He  has  had,  records  show,  a  good 
substitute  for  funeral  trade — one  that 
he  can  really  rejoice  in — wedding  orders. 


Store  which  has  Proved  Aaew  that  Business  Follows  Provision  of  Facfmies. 


For  statistics  from  nineteen  of  the  larg- 
est cities  in  the  country  show  an  increase 
of  nearly  seventy-five  per  cent  in  num- 
ber of  marriage  licenses  taken  out  this 
October  over  the  same  month  a  year  ago. 

In  Chicago,  4,480  couples  marched  to 
the  altar  last  month.  A  year  ago  only 
1,961  licenses  were  taken  out.  In  Den- 
ver the  figures  more  than  doubled — 307 
marriage  licenses  this  October  to  147 
last  year. 

Whether  you  got  your  share  of  wed- 
ding orders  in  your  town  or  not  you  can

SEE  SCHEINUK  SHINE. 

That  an  improvement  in  surroundings 
and  equipment  is  followed  by  a  prompt 
increase  in  the  volume  of  business  has 
been  the  pleasing  experience  of  many 
florists.  It  again  has  been  demonstrated 
in  the  case  of  Max  Scheinuk,  of  New 
Orleans.  This  enterprising  young  man 
started  in  the  trade  as  a  florist  and 
nurseryman  something  more  than  a  dec- 
ade ago  and  he  has  taken  many  steps 
along  the  patli  of  progress  until  now  his 
facilities  deserve  to  be  classed  among 
the  best.  Ills  new  store,  the  front  of 
which  is  shown  in  the  accompanying  il- 
lustration, recently  was  opened  at  2600 
St.  Charles  avenue,  in  the  best  section 
of  the  Crescent  City.  Each  time  he  has 
moved  he  has  sought  a  better  locality, 
with  the  purpose  of  improving  the  qual- 
ity of  the  trade  handled,  and  he  has  at 
each  successive  step  provided  better 
equipment.  The  new  location  is  at  the 
corner  of  the  avenue  and  Third  street, 
the  store  building  being  set  back  from 
the    .street    to    provide    the    opportunity

for  attractive  planting.  The  display  re- 
frigerator, which  is  the  principal  fea- 
ture of  the  equipment,  was  designed  by 
W.  Abrahanison,  of  the  A.  L.  Randall 
Co.,  Chicago,  and  there  is  a  large  elec- 
tric fountain  in  the  center  of  the  store. 
Mr.  Scheinuk  is  a  man  of  action — the 
new  store  was  built,  equipped  and  occu- 
pied in  forty  days — but  he  is  no  more 
prompt  than  was  the  public  in  respond- 
ing to  the  invitation  provided  by  the 
attractive  new  facilities.  Business  has 
increased  far  beyond  his  most  sanguine 
expectations,  proving  anew  that  in  this 
line  of  business  any  reasonable  expendi- 
ture in  the  provision  of  high-grade  sur- 
roundings and  service  is  quickly  repaid 
by  the  prompt  increase  in  the  volume  of 
business  handled.  There  is  nothing  too 
good  for  the  public. 


HOME    OF   THE  RED  C. 

The  business  that  was  started  forty- 
seven  years  ago  in  St.  Louis  by  Fred  C. 
Weber  has  kept  growing  all  that  time 
because  Mr.  Weber  followed  the  pace 
of  leaders  of  the  trade.  When  Sunday 
closing  was  discussed  by*  the  St.  Louis 
Retail  Florists'  Association,  President 
Fred  C.  Weber,  Jr.,  said  he  would 
begin  by  closing  his  store  on  Sunday  at 
once.  In  the  movement  for  better 
working  conditions  for  employees,  to 
make  the  trade  attractive  to  capable 
workers,  he  has  been  active,  taking  the 
initiative  in  his  own  establishment. 
With  the  growth  of  the  trade,  this  store, 
like  many  others,  has  been  improved 
and  remodeled,  so  that  today  the  "home 
of  the  red  C,"  as  may  be  seen  in  the 
accompanying  illustration,  is  a  shop 
from  which  other  retailers  glean  ideas 
as  to  what  a  first-class  establishment 
may  be. 

In  advertising  and  trade  publicity 
work,  Mr.  Weber  keeps  to  the  fore.  The 
fact  that  in  St.  Louis  there  are  two 
Webers  in  the  trade  whose  only  differ- 
ence in  name  is  in  their  middle  initial 
had  given  rise  to  an  advertising  point 
made  much  of,  the  red  C,  so  printed  on 
stationery  and  so  displayed  on  the  store 
front. 

THE  SLOGAN  IN  SONG. 

Those  who  heard  it  at  the  Detroit  con- 
vention last  August,  as  well  as  those  who 
did  not,  will  soon  be  able  to  obtain 
copies  of  the  song,  "Say  It  with  Flow-

ers, ''  which  was  sung  there  with  great 
success.  The  words,  which  are  given  be- 
low, were  written  by  the  wives  of  the 
members  of  the  New  York  firm  of  whole- 
sale florists,  Traendly  &  Schenck.  Mrs. 
Frank  H.  Traendly  was  at  one  time  pres- 
ident of  the  Ladies'  S.  A.  F.  and  her 
husband  was  president  of  the  S.  A.  F.  in 
1908.  Mrs.  Charles  Schenck  is  also  well 
known,  and  her  husband  was  president 
of  the  New  York  Florists'  Club  in  1918. 
The  music  is  by  two  popular  song  writ- 
ers, Harry  Pease  and  Edward  Nelson. 

The  publishers  of  this  song,  the  Meyer 
(johen  Music  Publishing  Co.,  New  York, 
intend  also  to  issue  it  in  adapted  form 
for  dance  orchestra,  so  that  the  public 
may  dance  to  "Say  It  with  Flowers." 

The  words  follow: 

"SAY    IT    WITH    FM)WEHS."

Already  one  set  of  verses  has  been

PALMER'S  DESIGN  DISPLAY. 

From  the  fertile  brain  of  Mark  Pal- 
mer, of  W.  J.  Palmer  &  Son,  Buffalo. 
N.  Y.,  has  come  a  device  for  showing 
customers  in  the  flower  store  what  they 
will  get  when  they  order  a  funeral  spray, 
a  corsage,  a  wedding  bouquet  or  some 
such  piece.  Against  the  wall  of  Pal- 
mer's store  stands  a  case  about  three 
feet  square  and  about  eight  inches  deep, 
supported  at  a  convenient  height  for  in- 
spection by  a  person  standing.  Panels 
in  the  face  of  the  case  contain  trans- 
parent slides,  or  photograph  negatives, 
each  of  a  different  piece  of  floral  work. 
In  the  case  behind  the  panels  arc  elec-

trie  lights  which  when  switched  on  shine 
through  the  slides,  displaying  the  de- 
si^s. 

Each  row  of  slides  may  be  shown 
while  the  others  remain  dark,  since  there 
is  a  switch  for  each  row.  One  row, 
according  to  Mr.  Palmer 's  idea,  contains 
funeral  sprays,  another  corsages,  an- 
other wedding  bouquets,  another  table 
decorations  or  miscellaneous  pieces.  Thus 
only   the  type  the  customer  desires  to 


see  is  shown  when  the  lights  behind  that 
row  are  switched  on.  The  case  in  Pal- 
mer's  Delaware  avenue  store  contains 
four  rows  of  four  designs  each. 

Patents  have  been  applied  for  by  Mr. 
Palmer  on  this  device.  As  soon  as  these 
are  obtained  he  will  put  it  on  the  mar- 
ket, since  several  retailers  from  large 
cities  at  the  F.  T.  D.  convention  wished 
to  place  orders  for  it  when  they  saw  the

zation, though  just  effected,  has  already 
raised  $6,500  and  has  ambitions  of  $12,- 
000;  it  used  a  full  page  in  the  Buffalo 
Courier  for  November  9  to  boost  the 
idea  of  wearing  flowers  Armistice  day, 
and  it  is  carrying  out  a  "Say  It  with 
Flowers"  week,  -vvhich  began  Novem- 
ber 10. 

Bigger  Than  City. 

The  plan  includes  not  only  the  retail- 
ers and  growers  of  the  city  of  Buffalo, 
but  also  all  growers  who  ship  stock  into 
the  city  and,  in  addition,  the  nursery- 
men and  seedsmen  of  Buffalo.  The 
name  of  the  organization  is  the  West- 
ern New  York  Florists'  Publicity  Fund. 
It  is  a  voluntary  guarantee  fund,  "to 
be  used  solely  for  the  purpose  of  pro- 
moting the  sale  of  flowers  in  western 
New  York."  A  part  of  the  fund  is  to 
be  set  aside  for  national  publicity. 

The  fund  is  to  be  in  the  hands  of  a 
committee  of  seven.  Three  of  the  mem- 
bers are  to  be  growers  who  ship  to  or 
.sell  their  products  in  the  city  of  Buf- 
falo. Three  of  them  are  to  be  retailers 
in  Buffalo  and  the  remaining  member 
to  be  a  wholesaler  of  the  city.  The 
subscribers  elect  the  members  of  this 
committee  on  the  last  Thursday  of  Octo- 
ber of  each  year,  their  term  of  office  be- 
ginning November  1. 

At  least  once  each  three  months  the 
committee  is  to  call  together  the  sub- 
scribers to  give  a  detailed  accounting  of 
the  expenditure  of  the  funds. 

Give  TIU  It  Hurts. 

The  subscriptions  to  the  fund  made  at 
the  meeting  October  30  amounted  to  $6,- 
500  and  represented  twenty-five  per  cent 
of  the  retail  florists  of  the  vicinity.  The 
aim  of  the  committee,  of  which  "Wallace 
H.  Eiss  was  temporary  chairman,  is  to 
raise  at  least  $12,000  to  be  used  for  pub- 
licity work  in  the  next  year. 

A  provision  in  the  resolutions  adopted 
at  that  meeting  states  that  subscrip- 
tions will  not  be  binding  unless  at  least 
seventy-five  per  cent  of  the  retailers 
and  growers  in  the  city  and  of  the  grow- 
ers who  ship  to  the  city  subscribe  to 
the  fund.    Enthusiasm  is  at  such  a  pitch 


that  the  enlisting  of  that  percentage 
seems  sure.  It  is  by  force  of  example 
and  enthusiastic  purpose  that  the  work 
is  being  carried  forward.  "We  do  not 
force  any  man,"  a  member  says.  "He 
gives  till  it  hurts." 

Investments,  not  donations,  are  what 
the  subscribers  are  working  for,  ac- 
cording to  their  terms.  And  they  state 
it  as  the  duty  of  each  one  to  subscribe 


in  accordance  with  the  measure  of  his 
individual  business.  . '  • 

Besolutions  State  Plan. 

The  Buffalo  florists  believe  theirs  is 
a  plan  that  will  be  followed  in  other 
cities,  for  they  stanchly  affirm  the 
strength  of  their  organization.  The 
outline  of  the  plan  is  clearly  stated  by 
the  resolutions  unanimously  adopted  by 
the  subscribers  of  the  Western  New 
York  Florists'  Publicity  Fund  at  the 
meeting  held  October  30: 

1.  That  a  voluntary  guarantee  fund  be  raised 
by  the  retail  florists  of  Buffalo  and  the  growers 
of  cut  flowers  and  plants  who  grow  and  sell 
their  products  within  the  city  and  the  growers 
of  cut  flowers  or  plants  who  ship  to  or  bring 
their  products  to  Buffalo  and  the  seedsmen  and 
nurserymen  of  the  city  of   Buffalo. 

2.  That  the  name  of  the  fund  be  "Western 
New  York  Florists'   Publicity  Fund." 

3.  That  this  guarantee  fund  is  to  be  used 
solely  for  the  purpose  of  promoting  the  sale  of 
flowers  in  western  New  York,  and  a  certain  part 
of  the  fund  is  to  be  set  aside  by  the  committee 
for  national   publicity. 

4.  That  the  moneys  so  guaranteed  be  turned 
over  to  an  advertising  committee,  who  will  have 
in  charge  the  matter  of  properly  using  the  fund 
collected  for  advertising  purposes  In  promoting 
the  sale  of  flowers  and  plants. 

5.  That  the  advertising  committee  consist  of 
three  growers  who  ship  to  or  sell  their  products 
in  the  city  of  Buffalo,  three  retail  florists  who 
have  their  business  in  the  city  of  Buffalo  and 
one  wholesaler  of  the  city  of  Buffalo. 

6.  That  the  subscribers  of  this  fund  elect  this

FLOWERS   SEEK  TO   RULE. 

Weeds  may  crowd  out  flowers,  but  the 
illustration  shows  flowers  crowding  out 
the  other  departments  in  the  shop  of 
Laura  H.  Hubble,  Springfield,  Mo. 
Her  original  business  interest  lay  in 
hand-made  blouses  and  various  novel- 
ties relative  to  the  needle-and-thread 
side  of  domestic  art,  but  a  short  time 
ago  she  added  flowers  to  her  business. 
The  picture  tells  the  story.  The  natural 
tendency  of  all  people  to  "Say  It  with 
Flowers,"  to  use  the  living  blooms  as 
their  colorful  messengers,  affected  her 
trade  as  it  has  affected  other  similar 
enterprises.  The  flower  side  of  the  house 
is  growing  daily.

Business  has  been  a  little  slow  during 
the  last  two  months,  but  a  noticeable 
increase  has  been  apparent  in  the  last 
week  or  two.  The  greenhouses  are  in

present  he  is  busy  constructing  one  of 
ins  own,  in  the  rear  of  his  residence.  It 
is  to  be  an  Italian  garden  and  will  ad- 
join the  side  entrance  of  the  store.  This

perior  color  and  more  profitable  for  cut-

makes  it  highly  desirable  for  work  of 
the  best  sort. 


PUSHINa   PUBLICITY. 


Wliere  the  Energy  Goes. 

The  Eeview  in  its  issue  of  October  23, 
reporting  on  the  F.  T.  D.  convention  at 
Buffalo,  has  the  following:  "The  na- 
tional publicity  committee  was  in  ses- 
sion till  midnight  during  the  first  day 
of  the  convention,  considering  the  mat- 
ter of  raising  funds  more  expedi- 
tiously." 

Aside  from  the  results  that  have  been 
obtained  from  national  advertising  thus 
far,  the  thing  that  must  strike  every 
business  man  most  forcibly  is  the  amount 
of  effort  such  men  as  Henry  Penh,  John 
Young  and  others  on  the  committee  are 
obliged  to  exert  each  week  in  order  to 
raise  funds  to  carry  on  the  campaign. 
That  those  composing  this  committee  are 
big,  unselfish  and  broad-minded  business 
men  goes  without  saying.  If  they  had 
not  been  men  of  unlimited  patience,  I 
am  afraid  they  would  have  thrown  the 
work  over  before  this.  The  little  coun- 
try circuit  rider  does  not  have  to  preach 
harder  to  his  congregation  to  raise  his 
salary  than  do  these  men.  Here,  indeed, 
is  one  of  the  most  dignified  businesses  of 
the  country,  whose  members  have  to  be 
coaxed  and  persuaded  to  do  their  part 
in  furthering  a  campaign  that  has  pro- 
ven already  that  it  will  pay  big  returns 
on  the  money  invested.  Now  let  us 
look  at  this  whole  thing  honestly  for  a 
few  minutes. 

Lost  Motion. 

The  energy  which  the  committee  is 
obliged  to  spend  in  raising  funds  to 
conduct  this  campaign  might  much  bet- 
ter be  spent  on  the  campaign  itself.  In 
any  of  the  large  business  enterprises  of 
our  country  this  would  be  considered 
lost  motion  and,  in  these  days  of  mod- 
ern business  methods,  lost  motion  is  one 
of  the  things  that  cause  the  man  of 
brains  to  lie  awake  at  night  seeking 
ways  to  eliminate  them. 

The  committee  should  be  in  a  position 
to  go  ahead  and  make  contracts  for 
space  and  not  be  obliged  to  depend  on, 
I  might  say,  the  benevolence  of  a  small 
percentage  of  the  15,000  florists  of  the 
country.  Might  it  not  be  possible  to 
have  some  discussion  through  these  col- 
umns as  to  a  better  way  to  provide  the 
"sinews  of  war"  for  this  worthy  cause? 

Would  it  not  be  possible  to  work  out 
a  scheme  of  assessments,  say,  for  each 
city?  This  could  be  governed  by  the 
number  of  inhabitants  of  a  community. 
The  F.  T.  D.  now  has  this  system  work- 
ing in  its  guarantee  feature.  Let  the 
national  organization  look  to  the  local 
florists'  club,  whether  state  or  city,  for 
this  assessment.  Let  each  club  under- 
take the  work  of  securing  contributions 
from  all  the  members  of  the  trade  ift  its 
locality  and   surrounding  territory. 

Everybody  Gives,  Everybody  Gains. 

If  a  local  club  were  assessed  a  spe- 
cific sum,  how  would  it  be  raised?  That 
would  have  to  be  left  to  the  club,  but 
there  have  recently  appeared  in  these 
columns  plans  that  seem  equitable  to 
me.     I  refer  to  those  in  Milwaukee,  St. 


Louis  and  Philadelphia;  that  is,  to  tax 
the  grower  one-half  of  one  per  cent  on 
his  sales  and  the  purchaser  a  like  amount 
on  his  purchases,  with  the  wholesaler, 
as  his  contribution,  collecting  and  for- 
warding t-he  assessment  to -the  treasurer 
of  the  local  organization.  This  would 
certainly  add  dignity  to  the  campaign 
and  make  everyone  feel  that  he  had 
an  interest  in  it.  This  is  merely  my 
suggestion.  Other  plans  for  doing  the 
work  that  now  falls  on  the  shoulders 
of  a  few  men  might  be  proposed  by 
others  and  might  be  more  feasible  and 
effective  than  this.  In  these  times  of 
business  unrest,  even  thougn  everything 
is  prosperous,  with  labor  making  de- 
mands that  to  some  of  us  seem  absurd, 
it  behooves  the  business  man  to  look 
ahead,  for  history  will  repeat  itself,  the 
slump  is  bound  to  come,  and  when  it  does 
we  shall  find  the  gospel  of  "'In  union 
there  is  strength"  to  be  a  gospel  of 
truth.  It  was  team-work  that  won  the 
war,  it  was  team-work  that  financed  it, 
it  was  team-work  that  fed  the  world,  and 
this  same  kind  of  team-work  will  make 
the  florists'  business  one  of  the  greatest 
in  the  country,  Tate.

Wm.  F.  Gude  believes  the  following 
announcement  of  the  opening  of  the 
Smith  collection  of  Burnsiana  to  the  pub- 
lic in  Washington,  D.  C,  is  not  only  of 
interest  to  older  members  of  the  trade,

C,  F.  C,  Miss. — The  specimen  seems

ADIANTUM  PELICANI. 

The  new  fern,  Adiantum  Pelieani,  a 
specimen  of  which  is  shown  in  the  ac- 
companying illustration,  has  been  re- 
cently announced  by  Frank  D.  Pelicano, 
of  San  Francisco,  Cal.,  who  raised  it. 
This  particular  plant  attained  a  spread 
of  three  feet  in  eighteen  months.  Adian- 
tum Pelieani  is  said  to  be  a  marked  im- 
provement on  Adiantum  Roenbeckii,  re-

COST  OF  IMPORTING. 

There  is  a  somewhat  misused  saying, 
"Every  man  to  his  trade,"  which  seems 
more  or  less  applicable  to  the  present 
situation  in  the  matter  of  importing 
Dutch  bulbs.    Here  are  two  phases  of  it: 

From  C.  D.  Otis,  Lake  Charles,  La.: 
"In  a  recent  Review  I  noticed  someone 
complaining  about  a  charge  of  $3  per 
case  for  the  packing  boxes  in  which  his

Dutch  bulbs  came.  My  charge  is  worse 
than  that,  eleven  cases  costing  $37.80. 
What  is  far  worse,  I  cannot  learn  that 
they  even  have  been  unloaded  yet  at 
New  York.  When  the  bulbs  finally  ar- 
rive, there  will  be  a  lot  more  charges. 
This  is  my  first  experience  in  buying 
direct  from  Holland.     I  know  what  the 


duty  is,  but  that  is  all;  I  have  not  the 
least  idea  what  the  bulbs  finally  will 
cost  me." 

From  Gould  Bros.,  Glenview,  111.: 
' '  We  recently  received  an  invoice  for 
Holland  bulbs  with  duty  added  at  the 
rate  of  $2.50  per  thousand  on  hyacinths, 
50  cents  per  thousand  on  tulips  and  $1 


per  thousand  on  daffodils.  As  the  first 
charge  seems  exceedingly  high  to  us,  we 
are  writing  to  inquire  if  these  charges 
are  correct.  As  you  no  doubt  know,  all 
bulbs  were  sold  this  year  f.  o.  b.  Holland

ANNUAL  MEETING. 


Held  in  New  York. 

The  annual  meeting  of  the  Chrys- 
anthemum Society  of  America  was  held

gineering building,  at  4  p.  m.  Novem- 
ber 5,  with  a  small  attendance.  The 
president,  Wm.  Vert,  read  his  address 
and  the  secretary  and  treasurer  pre- 
sented their  reports,  all  of  which  were 
discussed.  No  new  business  was  brought 
up,  and  the  proceedings  were  more  or 
less  of  a  formal  character.

The   following   officers   were    elected: 

President — Thos.  W.  Head,  Lake  For- 
est, HI. 

Vice-president — Z,  D.  Blackistone,

Secretary — Charles  W.  Johnson,  Mor- 
gan Park,  HI. 

Treasurer — Charles  H.  Totty,  Madi- 
son, N.  J. 

The  next  meeting  and  exhibition  was

PRESIDENT'S   ADDBESS. 

[The  president's  annual  address,  delivered  by 
William  W.  Vert,  at  the  meeting  of  the  Chrysan- 
themum Society  of  America,  at  New  York,  No- 
vember 6.] 

Another  year  has  rolled  around  and  we 
find  ourselves  once  again  attending  the 
annual  meeting  of  this  society. 

It  will  be  recalled  that  at  the  last 
meeting  no  invitation  was  extended  to 
hold  the  exhibition  in  any  other  city;  so 
the  management  of  the  American  Insti- 
tute kindly  volunteered  to  give  us  this 
building  again,  and  their  offer  was 
gratefully  accepted. 

We  have  experienced  this  fall  a  most 
peculiar  season,  such  as  we  have  never 
had  before  to  the  best  of  my  recollec- 
tion. The  warm,  muggy  weather  seems 
to  have  injured  blooms  in  many  sec- 
tions and  some  of  our  finest  flowers  will, 
I  am  afraid,  be  missing  from  the  exhibi- 
tions this  year.  The  exceedingly  warm 
fall  has  also  operated  to  the  disadvan- 
tage of  the  commercial  growers,  because 
we  still  have  blooming  in  excellent  con- 
dition dahlias,  gladioli  and  other  fall- 
blooming  plants,  which  come  into  com- 
petition with  the  chrysanthemums  in  the 
market  and  which  have  made  a  poor 
market  for  the  earliest  flowers  this  year. 
The  influenza  epidemic,  which  created 
considerable  demand  for  chrysanthe- 
mums last  year,  is  also  missing  this 
year,  but  for  this  we  are  thankful. 

Need  of  Greater  Interest. 

It  is  a  matter  of  regret  that  a  larger 
interest  cannot  be  created  in  this  so- 
ciety to  make  our  annual  meeting  better 
attended.     If  any  member  has  sugges- 


tions to  offer  along  this  line,  we  shall 
be  happy  to  receive  them. 

I  should  like  at  this  time  to  say  a 
"■^ood>.word  for  the  secretary,  who  has 
been  so  instrumental  in  keeping  the  so- 
ciety together.  I  feel  some  recognition 
should  be  given  him,  since  the  salary  he 
receives  at  the  present  time  can  only  be 
considered  more  as  a  joke  than  anything 
else.  I  hope  this  motion  will  prevail 
and  that  he  will  be  compensated  in  some 
reasonable  degree  for  his  valuable 
services. 

The  action  of  the  Federal  Horticul- 
tural Board  in  shutting  off  all  imports 
from  foreign  countries  will  possibly 
limit  to  some  extent  the  number  of  new 
varieties  distributed  in  America.  I  hope 
this  will  be  the  means  of  getting  more 
members  interested  in  hybridizing  for 
new  varieties.  I  do  not  feel  that  enough 
work  is  being  done  along  these  lines. 

Stanch  Support. 

In  closing  I  want  particularly  to  thank 
the  members  of  the  committees,  who 
have  done  and  are  doing  their  work  with- 
out any  recompense  in  the  different  large 
cities  in  judging  the  new  varieties. 

I  am  much  obliged  to  the  members 
for  their  support  in  the  past  and  will 
say  at  this  time  that  I  am  no  longer  a 
candidate  for  reelection,  on  account  of 
the  nature  of  my  business,  as  I  do  not 
grow  chrysanthemums  to  any  extent  any 
more.  I  am  sure  that  you  will  find  a 
worthy  successor,  one  able  to  carry  on 
the  work  of  the  society  better  than  I 
have  done  in  the  past. 

SECRETARY'S  REPORT. 

[This  Is  the  report  of  Secretary  Charles  W. 
Johnson,  presented  at  the  meeting  of  the  Chrys- 
anthemum Society  of  America,  New  York  city, 
November   5.] 

Since  the  society  decided  at  its  last 
meeting  to  hold  the  eighteenth  annual 
meeting  and  exhibition  in  conjunction 
with  the  American  Institute  of  the  city 
of  New  York,  the  first  work  of  the  sec- 
retary for  the  year  was  the  solicitation 
of  thNe  special  premiums  and  the  arrang- 
ing of  tlre^  special  premium  schedule, 
which,  through  the  courtesy  of  William 
A.  Eagleson,  secretary  of  the  board  of 
managers  of  the  American  Institute,  was 
mailed  to  all  members  of  the  society. 

During  the  season  of  1918  there  were 
submitted  to  the  examining  committees 
for  examination  forty  varieties,  of 
which  thirty-four  were  seedlings  and  six 
were  sports  of  existing  varieties. 

Four  Varieties  Registered. 

Four  varieties  were  offered  for  regis- 
tration, as  follows: 

November  11,  3  918 — Victory,  seedling,  white, 
Japanese  Incurved,  by  Elmer  D.  Smith  &  Co., 
Adrian,  Mich. 

November  22,  1918 — Marie  Louise,  bronze, 
sport  of  variety  Patty,  by  the  Davis  Floral  Co., 
Davenport,  la. 


February  7,  1919 — January  Gold,  golden  yel- 
low, sport  of  variety  Mistletoe,  by  the  IJ.  M. 
Smith  Quality  Flower  Co.,  Laurel,  Del. 

February  7,  1919 — Dr.  Hitch,  white  and  lav- 
ender pink  shading  to  yellow,  sport  of  variety 
January  Gold,  by  the  L.  M,  Smith  Quality 
Flower  Co.,  Laurel,  Del. 

Cooperation  Against  Pests. 

The  season  of  1919  has  been  a  good 
growing  season  for  chrysanthemums 
planted  for  commercial  and  exhibition 
purposes  and  many  more  have  been 
planted  than  heretofore.  The  depreda- 
tions of  the  insect  pests  are  a  difficult 
problem  for  the  growers  to  overcome 
and  form  a  subject  that  should  receive 
consideration  by  the  members  of  the 
Chrysanthemum  Society,  which  should 
have  the  support  of  all  growers  of  chrys- 
anthemums to  help  find  out  the  best 
methods  of  combating  the  many  insects 
that  now  attack  the  plants.  If  the  nu- 
merous chrysanthemum  growers  of  the 
country  who  have  these  difficulties  to 
overcome  will  only  cooperate  with  the 
society,  their  cooperation  will  be  of 
benefit  to  themselves  as  well  as  to  the 
members  of  the  society. 

The  routine  work  of  the  secretary's 
office,  consisting  of  sending  out  state- 
ments to  the  members,  recording  the  va- 
rieties disseminated,  getting  out  the  re- 
port of  the  seventeenth  annual  meeting 
and  soliciting  special  premiums,  was  at- 
tended to  in  due  season. 

Appreciations. 

Your  secretary  wishes  to  acknowledge 
the  kindness  of  Elmer  D.  Smith  in  fur- 
nishing him  with  a  complete  list  of  va- 
rieties disseminated  in  1918,  which  was 
a  great  help  in  getting  up  the  annual 
report. 

To  the  examining  committees  is  due 
the  appreciation  of  the  society  for  their 
most  efficient  work  in  the  judging  of  the 
new  varieties  submitted  to  them. 

The  trade  papers,  as  heretofore,  gen- 
erously published  all  notices  sent  to 
them  from  time  to  time  during  the  year, 
for  which  courtesy  we  owe  to  them  a 
vote  of  thanks. 

The  Society's  Loss. 

Since  our  last  meeting  we  have  suf- 
fered a  great  loss  through  the  death  of 
Frank  A.  Friedley,  of  Cleveland,  O.  Mr. 
Friedley  was  a  leader  in  all  the  trade 
activities  of  Cleveland  and  was  in 
charge  of  a  great  deal  of  the  work  at 
the  shows  held  at  the  time  of  our  meet- 
ings there.  He  was  also  vice-president 
of  the  Chrysanthemum  Society  of  Amer- 
ica in  1914-15.

COMMITTEE  ON  EDUCATION. 


Promulgates  Policy. 

The  Canadian  Horticultural  Associa- 
tion, under  the  leadership  of  President 
E.  B.  Hamilton  and  a  group  of  live 
wires  associated  with  him,  is  certainly 
out  to  make  history  this  year.  As  in 
other  similar  organizations,  commercial 
reconstruction  is  claiming  attention,  and 
ideas  for  aggressive  work  in  this  con- 
nection, hitherto  unthought-of,  are  con- 
tinually being  unearthed.  Statistics, 
registration,  publicity,  educational  and 
experimental  work  is  allotted  to  separate 
small  committees,  each  doing  important 
and  useful  work.  Further  notice  will  be 
given  these  later;  for  the  present  a  few 
notes  on  the  educational  work  are  given. 

For  some  time  in  Canada  it  has  been 
obvious  to  leading  horticulturists  that 
there  is  a  great  need  for  some  definite 
steps  towards  providing  real  facilities 
for  horticultural  education.  The  present 
college  training  is  so  thoroughly  agricul- 
tural that  horticulture  is  almost  a  by- 
product. While  this  is  to  some  extent 
a  necessity,  the  time  seems  to  have  ar- 
rived when  the  aesthetic  as  well  as  the 
utilitarian  should  receive  a  little  atten- 
tion. At  the  present  time  the  need  is 
intensified  on  account  of  the  fact  that 
Great  Britain,  the  supply  source  of  many 
of  the  best  gardeners,  seems  for  a  while 
to  be  closed,  the  better  type  of  worker 
rather  emigrating  than  immigrating.  At 
its  last  convention  the  C.  H.  A.  gave 
some  serious  thought  to  the  matter,  ap- 
pointing a  committee  to  consider  and,  if 
possible,  suggest  methods  fur  meeting 
what  threatens  to  become  a  real  problem 
in  the  near  future.  W.  W.  Gamniage,  of 
London,  who  was  the  first  president  of 
the  C.  H.  A.,  consented  to  be  chairman. 
With  a  fine  outlook,  realizing  the  im- 
])ortanee  of  the  subject,  his  inspiring 
leadership,  well  supported  by  an  enthu- 
siastic committee,  has  resulted  in  solid 
progress. 

Conference  Adopts  Resolution. 

A  conference  recently  held  was  pre- 
sided over  by  Mr.  Gammage,  among 
those  present  being  Professor  R.  P. 
Thomson,  Toronto  ITniversity;  Profes- 
sor J.  W.  Crow,  Ontario  Agricultural 
College,  Guelph;  H.  B.  Sifton,  M.  A., 
of  the  Seed  branch,  Ottawa;  F.  Carr, 
F.  R.  H.  S.,  Oakville,  and  President  E. 
B.  Hamilton,  of  the  C.  H.  A.  Previous 
to  this  meeting  the  chairman  had  spent 
some  time  at  Cornell,  Illinois  and  other 
United  States  institutions,  collecting 
valuable  information  as  to  the  methods 
best  calculated  to  be  successful.  These 
he  fully  detailed  in  his  opening  address 


and  emphasized  the  importance  of  the 
subject,  appealing  for  a  frank  discussion 
and  thorough  cooperation.  A  long  after- 
noon was  spent  in  conference,  taken  part 
in  by  all  present,  the  conclusions  reached 
being  embodied  in  the  following  resolu- 
tion, which  was  unanimously  adopted: 

Whereas,  A  well-developed  horticulture  Is  rec- 
ognized as  essential  to  the  welfare  and  pros- 
perity of  Canadian  home  life,  and 

Whereas,  "Horticulture  is  a  definite  craft  in 
itself  and  is  not  a  branch  or  department  of  ag- 
riculture and  consists  of  the  more  intensive  cul- 
tivation of  fruits,  flowers,  vegetables  and  orna- 
mental plants,"  and 

Whereas,  There  is  a  great  shortage  In  Canada 
of  trained   horticulturists,   and 

Whereas,    Scientific   research   in   plant  physiol- 


ogy, plant  pathology  and  entomology  is  of  vital 
importance  to  the  future  development  of  horticul- 
ture In  Canada,  and 

Whereas,  Systematic  plant  improvement  and 
plant  Introduction  are  likewise  of  fundamental 
importance  to  the  future  of  Oanadian  horticul- 
ture, 

Therefore  be  it  resolved  that  this  committee 
recommends  the  establishment  of  special  facili- 
ties for  tbe  practical  and  scientific  training  of 
men  in  horticulture  along  the  lines  followed  at 
Kew  Gardens,  England,  the  eminent  service  of 
whose  men  is  recognized  the  world  over,  and 
further  recommends  that  all  horticultural  organ- 
izations in  Canada  be  requested  to  appoint  special 
committees  to  confer  with  this  committee  with 
a  view  of  formulating  definite  plans  in  this  direc- 
tion for  presentation  to  the  federal  and  provin- 
cial governments. 

As  a  statement  of  policy  this  pro- 
nouncement is  of  itself  one  of  the  most 
important  formulated  in  the  horticul- 
tural history  of  the  Dominion,  and  what- 
ever the  final  result  may  be,  the  com- 
mittee must  be  congratulated  on  the  fine 
conception  manifested.  A  further  con- 
ference is  being  arranged  to  meet  at 
Toronto  at  an  early  date,  when  repre- 
sentatives of  other  provincial  and  na- 
tional organizations  are  to  be  in  attend- 
ance. Added  to  this,  it  is  hoped  to  se- 
cure the  assistance  of  boards  of  trade, 
chambers  of  commerce.  Rotary  and  Ki- 
wanis  Clubs,  and  it  would  not  be  sur- 
prising if  direct  representation  in  the 
legislature  were  before  long  an  accom- 
plished fact.  The  committee  is,  how- 
ever, under  no  illusions  as  to  the  need 
for  real  spade  work,  and  if  this  spells 
success  the  ultimate  result  is  already 
sure.  W.  E.  Groves.

TAERYTOWN'S  ANNUAL  SHOW. 


Chiefly  from  Private  Estates. 

The  twenty-first  annual  exhibition  of 
the  Tarrytown  Horticultural  Society 
was  held  in  Music  hall,  Tarrytown, 
N.  Y.,  November  5  to  7.  Notwithstand- 
ing the  unfavorable  conditions,  owing 
to  the  coa^-sit^ation,  of  the  last  year  or 
more,  the  hall  was  well  filled  with  choice 
plants  and  flowers  equal  in  quality  to 
any  previous  exhibition  held  by  this 
society.  The  chrysanthemum  blooms 
were  gorgeous  and  equal  to  those  ex- 
hibited at  any  exhibition  in  the  vicinity 
of  New  York  city. 

Practically  all  of  the  exhibits  were 
from  private  estates.  Among  the  prize-

dener for  John  D.  Rockefeller;  Charles 
R.  Russell,  gardener  for  Finley  J.  Shep- 
ard;  John  Mair,  for  H.  M.  Sidenberg;

MUM  SOCIETY'S  SHOW. 


Draws  Few  Commercial  Growers. 

The  annual  exhibition  of  the  Chrys- 
anthemum Society  of  America  was  held 
in  connection  with  the  eighty-eighth 
annual  show  of  the  American  Institute, 
in  the  Engineering  Societies  building, 
33  West  Thirty-ninth  street,  New  York, 
November  5  to  7. 

While  at  previous  shows  the  exhibits 
have  been  larger  in  number,  seldom  has 
the  quality  of  the  exhibits  approached 
that  noted  at  this  show.  It  was  no- 
ticed with  regret  that  commercial  ex- 
hibitors had,  with  two  exceptions,  held 
aloof    from    the    exhibition.      The    ex-

hibits  from  private  establishments  were 
numerous  and  competition  in  some  of 
the  classes  rather  keen.  In  a  class  for 
twenty-four  blooms,  one  variety,  with 
long  stems,  Thomas  Proctor,  gardener 
to  W.  R.  Coe,  Oyster  Bay,  N.  Y.,  carried 
off  first  honors  with  some  wonderful 
blooms  of  the  variety  Wm.  Turner;  it  is 
doubtful  whether  blixims  of  tliis  va- 
riety iiave  ever  before  been  seen  at 
sucn   perfection. 

Johnson  Takes  Silver  Cup. 

Tliere  was  little  to  be  seen  in  the 
way  of  novelties,  at  least  as  far  as 
clirysanthemums  were  concerned.  C.  W. 
Johnson,  superintendent  for  the  Mount 
Greenwood  Cemetery  Association,  Chi- 
cago, won  the  society's  silver  cup  for 
the  best  seedling  chrysanthemum  not 
disseminated,  with  six  blooms  of  Mrs. 
C.  W.  Johnson,  a  loosely  incurved  white 
variety,  the  result  of  a  cross  between 
Nerissa  and  Silver  King.  The  blooms 
had  traveled  from  Chicago,  but  were 
seen  in  excellent  condition. 

Totty  Competes. 
The  C.  H.  Totty  Co.,  Madison,  N.  J., 


was  the  only  commercial  exhibitor  in 
the  competitive  classes  and  won  first 
for  six  blooms  of  Chrysanthemum  De- 
light, for  twenty-four  blooms  of  one  va- 
riety on  long  stems,  for  ten  blooms  of 
any  crimson,  for  six  blooms  of  any 
white,  for  six  blooms  of  any  pink,  with 
Pink  Turner,  and  for  a  vase  of  anemone- 
flowered  varieties,  and  second  for  vase 
of  single  varieties.  The  company  also 
took  a  first  in  the  rose  class  calling  for 
twenty-five  pink  blooms,  with  Premier, 
and  firsts  in  the  carnation  classes  for 
best  six  varieties,  twenty-five  blooms 
of  each;  best  three  varieties,  twenty- 
five  blooms  of  each,  and  best  vase  of 
one  variety,  twenty-five  blooms.  Out- 
side of  the  competitive  classes,  the  com- 
pany staged  splendid  vases  of  the  new 
roses,  Frank  W.  Dunlop,  Mme.  Butterfly 
and  Golden  Ophelia,  and  two  fine  groups 
of  single  and  pompon  chrysanthemums. 

A.  N.  Pierson,  Inc.,  Cromwell,  Conn., 
staged,  not  for  competition,  two  fine 
groups  of  single  and  pompon  chrys- 
anthemums, and  vases  of  grand  speci- 
men blooms  of  the  new  roses.  Pilgrim 
and  Crusader. 

One  trained  chrysanthemum  plant 
and  three  or  four  standard  plants  were 
all  in  the  exhibition  to  remind  one  of 
the  fine  showing  made  with  such  plants 
a  few  years  ago. 

The  exhibition  was  free  to  the  publio 
and  was  well  attended.     J.  H.  Pepper. 


NASSAU  COUNTY  EXHIBITION. 


Surpassed  Previous  Shows. 

The  fifteenth  annual  chrysanthemum 
show  of  the  Nassau  County  Horticul- 
tural Society  was  staged  in  Pembroke 
hall.  Glen  Cove,  N.  Y.,  October  30  and  31. 
The  show  was  the  finest  which  the  so- 
ciety has  ever  sponsored.  Chief  interest 
centered  in  the  chrysanthemum  classes, 
although  the  schedule  provided  for  dis- 
jdays  in  vegetables,  roses,  fruit,  decora- 
tive work,  plants  and  carnations. 

Chief  winners  in  the  chrysanthemum 
classes  were  Percy  Chubb,  Herbert  L. 
Pratt,  Mrs.  Payne  Whitney,  William  R. 
Coe,  Walter  Jennings,  Mrs.' Arthur  Gibb, 
Charles  F.  Cartledge,  John  T.  Pratt  and 
Harold  T.  Pratt.  The  silver  cup  ofifered 
by  Mrs.  Frederic  B.  Pratt  for  the  best 
collection  of  fifty  varieties  of  hardy 
chrysanthemums  was  won  by  Johu  T. 
Pratt,  who  becomes  permanent  owner, 
having  won  the  cup  for  three  years. 

P]xhibits  which  attracted  notable  at- 
tention were  the  five  bush  chrysanthc- 
niunis  shown  by  Robert  Marsliall,  of 
Glen  Cove,  but  not  entered  in  competi- 
tion. The  judges,  however,  gave  them 
the  award  of  merit  and  in  addition  gave 
to  the  big  anemone  bush  chrysanthemum, 
Emma,  the  gold  medal  offered  by  the  Na- 
tional Association  of  Gardeners  for  the 
most  meritorious  exhibit  in  the  show. 

Totty 's  Bose  Wins  Award. 

Another  award  of  merit  given  was 
that  to  Rose  Frank  W.  Dunlop,  shown 
by  Charles  H.  Totty,  of  Madison,  N.  J.

HOOSIEES  VISIT  RICHMOND. 


Indiana  Florists  See  Boses. 

As  usual,  the  Richmond  meeting  of  the 
Indiana  State  Florists'  Association, 
November  3,  was  one  of  the  largest  and 
most  enjoyable  of  the  year.  Sixty  mem- 
bers were  present.  The  florists  arrived 
early  and  had  the  entire  day  in  which 
to  revel  in  the  floral  accomplishments 
and  liberal  hospitality  of  the  hosts. 
"  The  E.  G.  Hill  Co.  was  the  first  stop- 
ping place.  Here  the  new  rose,  Madame 
Butterfly,  was  seen  in  all  its  glory.  This 
new  rose  is  a  sport  of  Ophelia  and  has 
all  of  the  good  qualities  of  the  latter 
and,  added  to  these,  a  more  decided 
colon  The  new  rose  is  pink,  of  a  quite 
pleasing  shade.  At  this  range  Premier 
and  Columbia  were  also  seen  in  fine 
shape.  The  roses  are  spoken  of  first  be- 
cause one  never  thinks  of  Richmond 
without  also  thinking  of  roses,  they  are 
so  closely  associated.  But  chrysanthe- 
mums were  also  there  in  great  number. 
The  large  exhibition  blooms  had  been 
mostly  cut  out,  as  they  were  unusually 
early.  There  were,  however,  a  great 
many  wonderful  pompons  and  some  large 
blooms  of  later  varieties,  such  as  Chad- 
wick,  Eaton  and  Improved  Eaton. 
There  were  a  few  seedlings,  but  not  so 
many  as  usual. 

At  Joseph  Hill's. 

Leaving  here,  the  party  next  visited 
the  Joseph  H.  Hill  Co.,  just  across  the 
street.  Propacating  roses  is  the  chief 
work  here.  The  benches  of  Columbia 
were  a  mass  of  bloom,  a  regular  show 
garden,  as  those  have  been  left  stand- 
ing for  wood.  There  were  numerous 
benehos  of  cuttings  in  the  sand,  includ- 
ing Columbia,  Premier  and  Madame 
Butterfly. 

Pompon  chrysanthemums  in  various 
standard  varieties  wore  just  coming  into 
bloom  here,  n  week  or  ton  days  earlier 
than  at  other  places  in  the  state.  The 
blooms  wore  fine.  Another  interesting 
feature  here  was  a  red  sport  of  Colum- 
bia, the  bloom  soniowliat  resembling 
Hadley.  Just  one  plant  of  this,  however, 
wfis  all  they  had. 

The  former  Knoiif  range,  now  owned 
and  run  by  Joseph  Hill,  was  another 
place  of  interest.  This  would  hardly  be 
recognized  as  tlie  same  place.  Many 
modern  improvements  have  been  made, 
including  a  vacuum  heating  system. 
These  houses  were  filled  mostly  with 
chrysanthemums  and  carnntions.  Pom- 
pons and  some  elegant  William  Turner 
were  especially  prominent. 

After  Luncheon  the  Retailers. 

Along  six  miles  of  paved  road,  the 
visitors  were  next  motored  to  Conter- 
ville,  where  a  wonderfully  a])petizing 
chicken  dinner  awaited  them.  IVeedless 
to  say,  justice  was  done  this  meal  and 
all  ate   ravenously  in  spite  of  the   fact 


that  they  had  partaken  plentifully  of 
roast  beef  sandwiches  and  dry  beer  at 
the  establishment  of  the  Joseph  H.  Hill 
Co.  * 

The  George  Gause  retail  establish- 
ment was  next  visited.  Here  there  was 
a  collection  of  plants,  carnations  and 
chrysanthemums  in  assortment  to  please 
the  retail  trade. 

The  salient  feature  at  the  range  of 
Fred  H.  Lemon  &  Co.  was  his  white  rose, 
a  seedling  of  Ophelia.  This  bids  fair  to 
become  a  splendid  commercial  variety. 

Richmond  boasts  two  good  flower 
shops,  the  Wayne  Flower  Shop,  owned 
by  C.  C.  Clark,  formerly  of  Muncie,  and 
the  shop  of  Fred  H.  Lemon  &  Co.  Choice 
stock  was  displayed  in  both  stores. 

Business  Meeting. 

The  flower  show,  so  near  at  hand,  was, 
of  course,  the  most  important  subject  of 
the  meeting.  After  routine  business  had 
been  attended  to,  the  various  commit- 
tees made  their  reports  on  the  progress 
of  the  show.  Things  were  going  splen- 
didly. The  financial  committee  gave  a 
favorable  report,  giving  assurance  of 
great  success  in  that  line. 

There  was  a  question  raised  about  ex- 
hibiting blooms  of  large  type  where  ar- 
tificial supports  were  necessary.  A  gen- 
eral discussion  followed  and  it  was  de- 
cided to  abide  by  the  rules  of  the  na- 
tional societies  in  regard  to  the  various 
exhibits  of  this  show. 

After  an  absence  of  several  meetings. 
President  Rasmussen  again  presided  and 
invited  the  association  to  New  Albany 
for  the  December  meeting.  The  invi- 
tation was  heartily  accepted. 

A  committee  of  five  was  appointed  to 


solicit  the  members  of  the  state  asso- 
ciation to  become  members  of  the  S. 
A.  F.,  so  that  Indiana  may  have  repre- 
sentation on  the  board  of  directors.  For 
the  president  of  the  Indiana  State  Flo- 
rists' Association  to  become  a  member 
of  the  board  of  directors  of  the  S.  A.  F. 
it  is  necessary  for  the  association  to 
have  seventy-five  members  in  the  S. 
A.  F.;  Indiana  had  fifty-two.  There  is 
no  doubt,  however,  that  the  drive 
will  be  a  success,  and  this  state  repre- 
sented. A.  F.  J.  Baur,  Joseph  Hill,  John 
A.  Evans,  Fred  H.  Lemon  and  Albin 
Schreiber  were  appointed  on  this  com- 
mittee. Eleven  new  names  were  pro- 
posed for  membership:  J.  S.  Tweedie, 
of  Richmond;  Wm.  Fox,  of  the  Smith  & 
Young  Co.,  Indianapolis;  Charles  Ben- 
der, of  Bertermann  Bros.  Co.,  Indianap- 
olis; John  Rasmussen,  New  Albany;  P. 
J.  Foley,  Jr.,  Chicago,  as  associate  mem- 
ber; Edwin  Nelson,  Indianapolis;  E.  A. 
Neuman,  Richmond;  Claude  C.  Clark, 
Richmond;  Otto  Krecey,  of  the  Indian- 
apolis Flower  &  Plant  Co.,  Indianapolis; 
E.  C.  Ruch,  Richmond,  and  Guy  M.  Re- 
burn,  Chicago. 

At  the  close  of  the  meeting  a  vote  of 
thanks  was  extended  to  the  Hills,  the 
Lemons  and  the  other  Richmond  florists 
for  their  courteous  hospitality  and  also 
for  their  efforts  to  further  the  Indiana 
State  Florists'  Association  flower  show.

BXTFFAIiO  MAKING  IT  PLAIN. 

I  read  with  much  interest  your  article 
regarding  the  F.  T.  I).,  "Making  It 
Plain  to  the  Public."  I  have  been  of 
this  opinion  ever  since  the  slogan  was 
adopted.  In  our  advertisements  ap- 
peared these  few  letters  and,  as  you 
say,  it  meant  nothing  to  the  public. 

When  the  prize  was  offered  to  Buf- 
falo florists  for  the  best  F.  T.  D.  window 
I  felt  that  this  was  a  chance  to  explain 
the  true  meaning  of  the  letters.  The 
window  received  third  prize.  It  was  so 
simple  that  it  looked  as  though  we  got 
something  easy.  But  it  was  just  what 
the  society  wanted;  that  is,  something 
to  educate  the  public.  Henry  Penn,  who 
was  one  of  the  judges,  thought  so  much 
of  the  idea  that  he  bought  the  exhibit 
for  his  own  window.    I  copied  the  main 


idea  from  the  United  States  Rubber  Co., 
as  it  impressed  me  last  summer  when 
I  was  on  my  way  down  to  Cooperstown 
for  a  vacation  of  golf.

HAS  A  BLOOMINQ  MONSTERA. 

In  The  Review  for  October  30  it  was 
asked  who  had  a  blooming  monstera  or 
philodendron  in  bloom.  I  have  two 
plants  that  are  8  years  old.  They  had 
four  blooms  on  each  last  year  and  now 
have  three  blooms  on  one  and  two  on 
the  other.  These  plants  are  planted  in 
the  bench  and  not  in  tubs,  as  M.  Froeh- 
lich's  are  in  Chicago,  which  accounts 
for  their  doing  so  well.  Soren  Olson, 
gardener  of  the  cemetery  greenhouses 
here  in  Racine,  Wis.,  says  the  core  of  the 
bloom  is  the  finest  kind  of  eating,  tast-

ing  much  as  pineapple  does.  The  core 
must  be  left  on  the  vine  until  ripe  before 
it  is  eaten.  L.  F.  Mohr. 


MORE  GOVERNMENT  SERVICE 

The  United  States  government,  I  am 
told,  sends  a  large  force  of  men  each 
year  about  this  time  into  the  pine  for- 
ests to  gather  ladybugs  in  their  dor- 
mant state  and  they  get  them  by  the 
bushel.  The  bugs  are  kept  in  cold  stor- 
age until  spring  and  then  sent  out  to 
any  or  all  fruit  growers  who  apply  for 
them. 

Now,  why  could  not  we  florists  get 
the  benefit  of  this  free  distribution?  The 
ladybugs  would  be  of  untold  benefit  as 
destroyers  of  aphis  and  mealy,  bugs. 
They  could  work  for  us  in  the  winter 
and  be  turned  out  in  the  spring  to  assist 
the  fruit  growers.  The  mortality 
among  the  bugs  would  be  less  if  liber- 
ated in  a  greenhouse.    H.  C.  Bateham. 


LET    THE    SLOOAN    SPEAK. 

I  do  not  believe  the  florists  could 
have  selected  a  better  slogan  than  ' '  Say 
It  with  Flowers."  It  is  so  expressive, 
suggestive  and  snappy.  I  doubt  whether 
we  are  making  as  much  use  of  it  as  we 
might. 

I  must  condemn  the  covering  of  mail- 
ing matter  with  a  catalogue  of  bargains 
or  with  business  cards  so  conspicuous 
as  to  make  the  address  obscure,  a  prac- 
tice which  has  caused  restrictive  meas- 
ures by  the  post-office  department.  It 
is  poor  business,  poor  taste  and  poor  art. 
I  believe  that  every  piece  practicable 
should  have  our  slogan  put  on  it  artis- 
tically, not  with  a  rubber  stamp,  but 
with  a  pretty  sticker  or  a  printed  de- 
sign. The  regulation  rosebud  design  is, 
in  my  opinion,  neither  plain  nor  pretty. 

Our  national  publicity  committee 
should  take  heed  from  some  of  our  best 
advertisers,  who  recognize  conspicuous 
brevity.  Note  our  mddern  magazines 
and  their  best  advertisements. 

For  instance,  give  us  a  page  or  even 
a  half -page  in  our  best  magazines,  show- 
ing Old  Glory  or  a  conspicuous  flower 
design  in  colors,  with  ' '  Say  It  with 
Flowers"  so  bold — and  pretty — that  a 
blind  man  could  not  pass  it.  Then  do 
not  spoil  it  with  a  tiresome  message 
which  attempts  to  translate  it.  It  does 
not  need  translation  any  more  than  a 
box  of  flowers  needs  interpretation.  To 
add  anything  to  "Say  It  with  Flowers" 
is  to  slobber  over  it.  It  contains  a 
whole  volume.  The  average  American 
reader  will  catch  it  instantly,  ad- 
mire it  and  think  about  it.  That  is 
advertising. 

We  should  make  our  slogan  a  house- 
hold word,  like  ' '  Bon  Ami, "  "  Kodak, ' ' 
etc.  If  we  push  it,  it  will  be  "event- 
ually;  why  not  now?"  S.  C.  T. 


HILL  ON  FARMINGTON  ROSES. 

The  visit  of  E.  G.  Hill,  of  Eichmond, 
Ind.,  at  the  establishment  of  the  Miller 
Floral  Co.,  at  Farmington,  Utah,  re- 
])ortcd  ill  tlie  October  30  issue  of  The  Re- 
view, was  recorded  in  the  Salt  Lake 
Tribune  to  the  extent  of  nearly  two  col- 
umns. The  object  of  Mr.  Hill's  visit 
was  to  see  the  roses  at  Farmington. 

The  Miller  Floral  Co.  has  four  roses 
of  its  raising.  Two  are  sports  from 
Shawyer,  one  white  and  one  a  deep  pink, 
almost  red.  Two  are  seedlings,  No.  1  a 
cross  between  Ophelia  and  Shawyer, 
light  pink  in   color,  and  No.   3,  a  cross 


E.  G.  Hill  and  Seedling  No.  3  of  the  Miller  Floral  Co. 


between  Hoosier  Beauty  and  Shawyer, 
deep  pink,  which  is  shown  in  the  illus- 
tration on  this  page. 

"Seedling  No.  3,"  the  Tribune  quotes 
Mr.  Hill,  "has  qualities  of  a  good  forc- 
ing rose.  It  compares  favorably  with 
niy  rose,  Columbia.  I  like  it  better  than 
Seedling  No.  1  because  of  its  shade.  No. 
1  has  a  bluish  tinge  which  does  not 
prove  popular  with  the  women,  although 
it  has  a  rare  perfume." 

According  to  the  Tribune,  Mrs.  Hill, 
who  accompanied  her  husband  on  his 
trip  west,  said  she  tried  to  persuade 
him  to  vstay  in  California  for  the  winter. 
' '  He  would  not  stay  away  from  his  roses 
for  a  whole  winter,"  she  said.  "He 
guards  them  with  all  the  love  and  care 
of  a  mother  for  her  babies.  When  he  first 
started  his  work  with  flowers,  our  chil- 
dren were  inclined  to  laugh  at  him,  be- 
cause he  was  forever  nursing  a  baby  rose 
plant  in  the  house.  They  "have  lived 
to  be  proud  of  him,  however,  and  to 
share  in  the  profits  of  his  work." 

Robert  Miller,  who  is  general  manager 
of  the  Miller  Floral  Co.,  has  had  much 
success  with  roses  at  Farmington.  He 
said:  "Ten  years  ago,  when  I  first 
started  growing  roses  in  Utah,  florists 
scofl'ed  at  me.  They  said  it  could  not 
be  done,  but  we  find  that  Utah  soil  is 
especially  favorable  to  rose  cultivation 
and  the  climate  does  not  interfere  in 
any  way.  We  find  it  just  a  little  bit 
difficult'  to  attain  the  perfection  we 
would   like  in   the  matter   of  stems.     I 


think  the  altitude  makes  it  prohibitive 
to  produce  as  long  stems  as  are  grown  in 
other  localities." 

Elijah  Gregory  is  in  charge  of  the 
seedlings  at  the  company's  greenhouses. 
He  expects  to  visit  Mr.  Hill's  establish- 
ment  at   Richmond,  Ind.,   in   February. 

Robert  Miller  will  go  east  in  a  few 
weeks  in  order  to  obtain  a  number  of 
new  palms  to  be  used  in  decorations  of 
the  retail  shop  at  10  East  Broadway, 
Salt  Lake  City.  A  new  system  of  decora- 
tions is  planned  under  the  direction  of 
E.  R.  Richmond,  of  Chicago,  who  has  re- 
cently joined  the  Miller  company  force. 

The  new  roses  have  been  on  display 
at  the  Salt  Lake  City  store  and  an  in- 
vitation has  been  extended  to  visitors  to 
the  shop  to  suggest  suitable  names  for 
the  four  new  roses. 


INCORPORATIONS  SET  RECORD. 

Florists  who  watch  commercial  straws 
to  see  how  the  business  wind  blows  will 
find  interest  in  the  statement  that  1,067 
new  enterprises  were  organized  under 
the  laws  of  the  principal  states  last 
month,  with  an  authorized  capital  of 
$100,000  or  over,  representing  in  the  ag- 
gregate the  sum  of  $2,363,635,200,  break- 
ing all  previous  records.  This  shows  an 
increase  over  October  a  year  ago  of  1,660 
per  cent.  The  only  figures  that  approx- 
imate this  remarkable  showing  are  those 
of  September,  when  972  cnter})rises  were 
chartered,  involving  $1,946,954,500.  They

afford  concrete  evidence  of  the  hopeful 
sentiment  in  banking  and  business 
circles  regarding  the  outlook.  Since 
January  1  aggregate  incorporations 
have  involved  the  enormous  sum  of 
$10,258,237,100.  This  total  compares 
with  $2,338,722,600  in  the  first  nine 
months  of  1918,  an  increase  of  338  per 
cent. 

DULUTH,  MINN. 


The  Market. 

Business  has  been  unusually  slow  dur- 
ing the  last  week,  owing  to  the  wintry 
weather,  snow  falling  most  of  the  week. 
Stock  of  all  kinds  is  plentiful.  Chrys- 
anthemums, in  pink,  white   and  yellow. 


and  pompons  are  in  abundance.  Eoses 
are  plentiful  in  all  grades  and  quite 
good.  Single  and  double  violets  are 
much  better.  There  is  a  great  demand 
for  poppies  for  Armistice  day  and  a 
good  business  could  be  done  if  stock 
were  obtainable.  Maybe  another  year 
the  growers  will  keep  this  in  mind  and 
try  to  get  a  crop  of  poppies  in  for  this 
day.    Carnations  are  in  plentiful  supply. 

Various  Notes. 

David  C.  Boyle,  of  the  A.  L.  Eandall 
Co.,  Chicago,  was  a  visitor  last  week. 

Walter  Japp  expects  to  take  a  trip  to 
Minneapolis  to  attend  the  convention  of 
the  American  Legion  next  week.

F.  T.  D.  CELEBRITIES. 


William  F.  Qude. 

In  the  Florists'  Telegraph  Delivery 
Association,  as  well  as  in  the  parent 
society,  the  name  of  William  F.  Gude 
is  truly  synonymous  with  service.  That 
there  are  many  other  faithful  workers 
within  the  fold  goes  without  saying,  but 
the  Croix  de  Guerre  for  service  sits  with 
a  peculiar  appropriateness  upon  the  am- 
ple bosom  of  the  retiring  president. 
Such  men  are  substantially  an  inspira- 
tion to  their  fellow-workers.  Unselfish 
in  their  efforts,  indefatigable  in  their 
labors  and  unthinking  of  personal  emolu- 
ments, their  work  is  done  for  the  com- 
mon good,  the  pleasure  derived  from  its 
performance  being  the  reward.  It  might 
be  aptly  said  of  the  distinguished  Wash- 
ington member  that  he  represents  an 
ideal  upon  which  the  proper  future  of  his 
profession  is  balanced.  The  results  ac- 
complished by  him  during  the  trying 
period  of  the  great  war  serves  as  a  vin- 
dication of  his  inherent  belief  in  the 
efficacy  of  concerted  action,  and  he  will 
be  remembered  in  the  annals  of  the  or- 
ganized trade  as  one  of  its  chief  apos- 
tles. Big-hoartod  and  wholesome,  gen- 
erous and  kind,  the  profession  urgently 
needs  more  men  of  the  goodly  mintage 
of  William  F.  Gude,  and  although  there 
are  many  who  lament  tlic  passing  of  the 
majestic  niustaclie,  like  Abou  Ben  Ad- 
hem's,  "May  his  tribe  increase." 

Philip   Breitmeyer. 

"By  their  works  yo  shall  know 
them."  This  dictum  boiiifj  unalterably 
true,  we  cannot  fail  to  value  tlic  ster- 
ling qualities  of  the  president-elect  of 
the  F.  T.  D.,  Philip  Breitmeyer.  The 
genial  Phil  is  well  known  as  a  booster 
and  as  a  man  of  marked  constructive 
ability.  His  long  exix'rience  in  the 
councils  of  the  trade  and  in  civic  affairs 
eminently  fits  him  for  administrative 
office.  And  if  he  were  not  entitled  to 
the  honor  conferred  upon  him  at  the 
Buffalo  meeting,  devotion  would  be  with- 
out requital  and  loyalty  without  recog- 
nition. In  all  organizations  and  upon 
some  committees,  while  it  is  alleged 
atoningly  that  "the  heart  is  in  the 
right  place,"  it  is  undeniable  that  the 
willing  workers  are  but  few.  Believing 
the  F.  T.  D.  an  exception  to  that  gen- 
eral  rule,  we  are  not  forgetful   that  a 


handful  of  its  members  are  preeminent 
in  point  of  enthusiasm,  service  and  con- 
viction. And  prominent  in  that  group 
is  our  esteemed  ex-mayor  of  Detroit. 
As  we  have  no  means  of  judging  the 
future  but  by  the  past,  we  predict 
marked  prosperity  for  the  F.  T.  D.  under 
his  guiding  hand.     More  power  to  him. 

Albert  Fochelon. 

It  is  doubtful  if  from  the  entire  roster 
of  retail  florists  a  man  better  fitted  for 
the  office  of  secretary  of  the  F.  T.  D. 
than  the  present  incumbent  could  be 
selected.  In  fact,  we  know  there  could 
not;  the  right  man  is  in  the  right  place. 
It  is  always  particularly  interesting  to 
the  writer  to  hear  "Push"  effervesce 
upon  his  favorite  subject,  the  F.  T.  D. 
He  appears  inspired  at  such  times,  im- 
pressing one  that  his  whole  being  is 
immersed  in  his  work.  His  enthusiasm 
is  contagious;  his  earnestness,  catching; 
his  wit  and  humor,  both  pointed  and 
pleasing;  his  arguments,  unanswerable. 
Perhaps  he  embodies  the  most  potent 
single  F.  T.  D.  influence  of  the  day.  He 
wages  relentless  warfare  upon  the 
enemies  of  his  organization  by  proving 
to  them  the  folly  of  their  position  and 
inducing  them  to  come  into  the  folcT. 
His  gospel  is  a  greater  and  more  effi- 
cient F.  T.  D.  service  and  as  his  term 
of  office  lengthens  his  efforts  become  the 
more  untiring.  A  valuable  asset,  in- 
deed, to  the  Florists'  Telegraph  Deliv- 
ery Association  is  Secretary  Albert 
Pochelon. 

William  L.  Rock. 

"Do  you  know"  William  L.  Rock,  of 
Kansas  City,  Mo.?     He  is  the  faithful 


guardian  of  the  F.  T.  D.  exchequer  and, 
incidentally,  a  quite  successful  florist. 
He  is  a  man  who  has  made  good  by  dint 
of  intelligent  application  and  persever- 
ing effort.  One  peculiar  thing  about  the 
F.  T.  D.  is  that  it  is  strikingly  a  body 
of  successful  business  men,  and  the 
formula  for  getting  into  good  society 
is  to  become  a  member.  It  is  said  that 
the  florist  can  readily  be  identified  by 
the  manner  in  which  he  wears  his 
clothes.  That  may  be  true  of  the  whole- 
salers and  growers,  but  a  visit  to  an 
F.  T.  D.  meeting  will  roadily  prove  to 
the  most  casual  observer  that  it  does  not 
apply  to  the  members  of  the  retail  sec- 
tion of  the  trade.  Admitting  that  flo- 
rists of  a  generation  or  more  ago  were 
not  Beau  Brummels,  we  wish  to  point 
out  that  a  representative  F.  T.  D.  meet- 
ing is  composed  of  men  as  clean-cut  and 
able  as  will  be  found  in  any  other  field 
of  human  endeavor.  Which  might  be 
interpreted  as  proof  that  the  business 
of  the  florist  has  been  slowly  but  surely 
elevated  to  its  proper  place  among  the 
professions.  Better  organization  and 
superior  business  methods  have  evolved 
a  higher  type  of  florists,  and  the  end 
is  not  yet.  Mix  with  the  active  mem- 
bership of  the  F.  T.  D.  and  become  con- 
vinced of  this,  and  do  not  fail  to  form 
the  acquaintance  of  that  live  wire  from 
Kansas  City,  William  L.  Rock. 

Irwin  Bertermann. 

The  name  of  Irwin  Bertermann  is 
inseparably  linked  with  the  Florists* 
Telegraph  Delivery  Association.  He 
was  present  at  its  birth,  watched  over 
it  during  its  infancy  and  is  still  one  of 
its  active  and  stanch  supporters.  The 
sailing  was  not  so  smooth  in  the  early 
days  of  its  existence  and  much  grati- 
tude is  owing  the  faithful  few  that 
steered  the  little  bark  through  the 
shoals  of  adversity  and  into  the  haven 
of  assured  success.  In  business  organi- 
zations there  is  much  work  to  be  done 
»nd  willing  workers  must  be  found  to 
effectively  perform  it.  Somebody  has 
said,  "If  you  want  to  get  anything 
done,  go  to  a  busy  man;  nobody  else  has 
the  time."  While  paradoxical,  that 
statement  contains  an  element  of  prac- 
tical truth.  The  busy  man  has  learned 
the  secret  of  achievement.  Be  it  service 
upon  the  directorate  or  in  committee, 
Irwin  Bertermann  has  abundantly  ren- 
dered his  portion.  In  after  times  stu- 
dents of  the  early  history  of  the  F.  T,  D. 
will  read  with  pleasure  of  his  invaluable 
services.  James    McLaughlin.

CONCRETE   BENCHES. 


Have  Superiority  of  Permanence. 

For  iffany  purposes  in  the  line  of 
building,  concrete  is  fast  replacing  wood 
and,  to  a  greater  or  less  extent,  brick. 
Concrete,  with  its  qualities  of  economy 
and  permanence,  offers  advantages  not 
found  in  either  wood  or  brick.  Not  a 
great  while  ago  many  builders  of  green- 
houses adopted  the  plan  of  using  con- 
crete for  the  side  walls  of  their  green- 
houses and  with  a  considerable  measure 
of  success.  The  practice  is  gaining  in 
popularity. 

Within  the  last  few  years  growers  in 
various  sections  of  the  country  have 
turned  to  concrete  for  the  construction 
of  their  benches.  The  increasing  cost 
of  wood  and  the  advance  in  labor  cost 
have  caused  those  with  a  keen  sense 
toward  the  financial  end  of  their  busi- 
ness to  seek  means  of  lowering  expenses 
and  up-keep  costs  wherever  possible. 

Experience  has  shown  that  wood  de- 
cays in  time  and  repairing  and  continual 
patching  add  to  the  expense  of  upkeep. 
Not  many  months  pass  after  the  build- 
ing of  a  wooden  bench  when  it  becomes 
in  a  measure  unsightly. 

Not  so  with  concrete.  Benches  of  this 
material,  reinforced  with  steel  and  con- 
structed after  a  given  plan,  prove  to  be 
a  paying  investment  rather  than  an  ex- 
pense. Correctly  built,  concrete  benches 
last  for  several  lifetimes,  they  always 
look  neat  and  clean  and  repairing  is 
never  necessary. 

Cost   Not  Excessive. 

To  those  who  have  not  investigated, 
it  may  seem  surprising  to  learn  that  it 
is  possible  to  build  benches  of  concrete 
for  a  sum  not  greatly  exceeding  that 
involved  in  the  construction  of  wood 
benches.  At  this  time  there  are  several 
concerns  in  existence  that  construct 
benches  under  contract.  In  many  cases 
the  employment  of  such  an  agency 
proves  costly,  especially  if  the  grower  is 
unfortunate  enough  to  be  situated  any 
great  distance  from  such  concern.  Some 
growers  are  able  with  some  success  to 
build  molds  for  receiving  the  concrete, 
thus  building,  after  their  own  ideas, 
benches  that  answer  the  purpose. 

Recently — that  is,  within  the  last  two 
years — there  has  been  placed  at  the  dis- 
posal of  growers  by  specialists  in  the 
construction  of  concrete  greenhouse 
benches  a  complete  set  of  working  plans, 
along  with  the  molds,  that  make  it  pos- 
sible to  build  benches  easily  and  inex- 
pensively. 

Molded  by  Furnished  Plans. 

The  system  brings  into  use  various 
adjustable  molds  for  making  concrete 
slabs  used  for  the  bottom  of  the  bench, 
side  slabs,  beams,  legs  and  ends.  At  odd 
moments  the  grower  may  mold  the  vari- 
ous units  that  go  to  make  a  complete 
bench;  then  at  the  time  desired  the 
parts  may  be  assembled,  somewhat  in  the 
manner  of  the  construction  of  a  bench 
made  of  wood.  This  method  permits 
the  making  of  serviceable,  neat-appear- 


ing benches  at  a  minimum  cost.  Pro- 
vision is  made  for  drainage  by  parallel 
slots  of  a  tapering  shape,  wider  at  the 
bottom  than  at  the  top,  thus  providing 
a  non-cloggable  drainage. 

Stock  does  as  well  on  concrete  benches 
as  it  does  on  wood,  provided  the  benches 
are  properly  constructed.  It  is  reported 
by  many  who  have  used  concrete  benches 
for  a  considerable  period  that  they  have 
had  better  growing  results  than  if  the 
ordinary  wooden  bench  had  been  used. 

The  present  wide  use  of  concrete 
benches  is  an  indication  pointing  toward 
elimination  of  the  wooden  bench  in  the 
future. 

REMEDY    FOR    CYCLAMEN    MITES. 

Can  you  give  us  any  reliable  formula 
for  the  extermination  of  cyclamen 
mites?  Last  season  we  discovered  that 
we  had   them   in   generous   proportions, 


so  threw  out  all  our  plants  and  sterilized 
the  bench  in  which  they  were  located 
with  live  steam,  hoping  thereby  to  get 
rid  of  them,  but  find  that  they  are  show- 
ing up  now  on  our  new  crop. 

We  have  sprayed  with  Nico-fume 
weekly  in  the  regular  way,  which  does 
not  seem  to  be  effective.  We  have  used 
eight  to  ten  teaspoonfuls  of  Nico-fume 
to  three  gallons  of  water.  Either  we 
have  not  used  the  proper  proportions,  or 
Nico-fume  does  not  fill  the  bill. 

If  you  know  of  anything  that  will 
successfully  exterminate  this  pest,  we 
shall  be  glad  to  have  it.  R.  &  S. 

The  time  to  use  nicotine  sprayings  is 
when  the  sun  shines  brightly.  Then  the 
tiny  pests  crawl  out  from  their  hiding 
places  in  the  flowers.  The  liquid  should 
be  well  sprayed  into  the  centers  of  the 
plants. 

Sprinkling  the  benches  with  fresh  to- 
bacco stems  from  time  to  time  seems 
to  act  as  a  preventive. 

Weak  fumigation  with  hydrocyanic 
acid  gas  has  helped  to  exterminate  the 
pest.  This  cannot  be  used  with  safety, 
however,  during  the  warm  weather.

NEW  YORK  FLORISTS'    CLUB. 


Leases  New  Quarters. 

The  monthly  meeting  of  the  New 
York  Florists'  Club  was  held  Monday 
evening,  November  10,  in  the  proposed 
new  quarters  for  the  club  in  the  Engi- 
neering Societies'  building,  25  West 
Thirty-ninth  street,  with  an  attendance 
of  about  150.  As  final  arrangements  in 
regard  to  the  quarters  were  to  be  made 
that  evening,  the  members,  prior  to  the 
opening  of  the  business  session,  in- 
spected the  two  rooms  covered  in  the 
proposition,  in  readiness  for  the  vote  to 
be  taken  on  them. 

A.  M.  Henshaw,  chairman  of  the  com- 
mittee on  quarters,  opened  a  discussion 
looking  to  immediate  action  concerning 
the  leasing  of  whichever  room  the  club 
might  decide  upon.  Finally  a  standing 
vote  was  taken  on  a  motion  made  by 
.Joseph  A.  Manda,  that  the  large  room 
be  leased,  and  the  same  being  in  the 
affirmative  the  matter  was  turned  over 
to  the  trustees.  While  it  was  thought 
that  the  room  was  a  little  large  for  ordi- 
jnary  purposes,  the  feeling  was  that  the 
attendance  at  future  meetings  must  be 
made  to  conform  to  the  size  of  the  room. 

Miscellaneous  Matters. 

Wm.  H.  Siebrecht,  Jr.,  counsel  in  the 
matter  of  securing  the  necessary  change 
in  the  club's  charter  to  mak?  leasing 
j)Ossible,  reported  progress,  and  that 
action  from  the  Supreme  court  might  be 
expected  in  a  few  days. 

Manager  Arthur  Herrington,  for  the 
flower  show  committee,  reported  prog- 
ress. In  the  same  connection  Secre- 
tary Young  reported  that  over  $15,000 
worth  of  trade  space  in  the  spring  show 
had  already  been  sold,  and  this  alone 
should  be   an   important   factor  in   the 


success  of  the  show.  He  also  reported 
that  thore  had  been  a  well  attended 
meeting  of  the  committee  that  day,  at 
which  preparations  for  the  show  were 
found  to  be  in  good  shape.  The  final 
schedule  of  premiums,  which  has  been 
held  up  by  the  printers'  strike,  might 
have  to  be  printed  out  of  town,  he  said, 
but  it  will  be  issued  shortly. 

John  H.  Bockman,  Philadelphia,  was 
elected  to  membership  in  the  club,  and 
the  following  were  nominated  for  elec- 
tion at  the  next  meeting:  S.  H.  Skidell, 
50  Park  place.  New  York;  F.  B.  Bourne, 
426  Madison  avenue,  New  York;  Henry 
C-  Holpp,  423  Park  avenue,  New  York; 
Fred  Von  Lum,  504  Tenth  avenue,  New 
York;  Alphonse  Rigo,  810  Madison  ave- 
nue. New  York;  Michael  Durso,  Spring- 
field, N.  J.;  Jos.  Heiman,  272  Main 
street.  Orange,  N.  J.,  and  Richard  T. 
Broderick,  Yonkers,  N.  Y. 

Secretary  Young  opened  a  discussion 
on  the  advisability  of  inaugurating  a 
"Say  It  with  Flowers"  week  in  New 
York.  W.  A.  Phillips,  Brooklyn,  chair- 
man of  a  committee  having  in  charge 
the  preparations  for  such  a  week,  No- 
vember 16  to  22,  described  the  arrange- 
ments made  by  the  Brooklyn  florists  to 
feature  the  slogan  during  that  period. 
It  was  not  thought  advisable  to  take 
similar  action  in  New  York  at  the  pres- 
ent time,  but,  on  motion  of  A.  M.  Hen- 
shaw, it  was  decided  to  arrange  for  a 
display  to  be  held  concurrently  with 
flower  show  week,  March  15  to  21.  Later 
in  the  evening  the  club,  on  motion  of 
Wallace  R.  Pierson,  voted  to  recommend 
the  appropriation  of  $100  toward  the 
expenses  of  the  Brooklyn  florists  in  con- 
nection with  their  celebration. 

Speakers  from  the  Federal  Reserve 
Bank  were  present  to  address  the  meet- 
ing in  behalf  of  the  thrift  citizens* 
movement.     Mr.  France,  for  the  bank.

explained  the  objects  of  the  movement, 
and  the  club  adopted  a  resolution  which 
he  presented,  putting  the  club  on  record 
as  approving  of  the  movement  and 
pledging  its  support.  Some  few  treas- 
ury savings  certificates  were  taken  up 
by  members  individually. 

The  awards  committee  reported  a  re- 
cent visit  of  the  committee  to  the  es- 
tablishment of  C.  H,  Totty  Co.,  Madison, 
N.  J.,  to  examine  the  new  rose,  F.  W. 
Dunlop,  under  growing  conditions.  The 
committee  recommended  that  a  final  cer- 
tificate be  given  the  rose,  the  score 
reaching  eighty-eight  points. 

Besolutions  of  sympathy  on  the 
deaths  of  J.  B.  Deamud  and  August 
Jahn  were  read  and  adopted,  and  copies 
ordered  to  be  sent  to  the  deceaseds' 
relatives.  Secretary  Young  reported 
that  Alfred  T.  Bunyard  had  recently, 
through  death,  lost  his  father,  Alfred 
Zeller  a  brother,  and  Oscar  Hauschild  a 
brother,  whereupon  a  motion  was  made 
directing  President  Kessler  to  appoint 
committees  to  prepare  resolutions  of 
sympathy  with  these  members  in  their 
bereavements. 

The  secretary  read  a  letter  he  had  re- 
ceived from  Patrick  O'Mara  announc- 
ing that  he  was  on  the  road  to  recovery 
from  his  recent  illness,  and  extending 
greetings  to  the  club. 

Candidates  for  Election. 

The  committee  on  nominations  re- 
ported the  following  as  candidates 
for  office  for  the  ensuing  year,  to  be 
voted  upon  at  the  next  meeting:  For 
president,  Philip  F.  Kessler,  I.  S.  Hen- 
drickson,  Archibald  M.  Henshaw;  for 
vice-president,  John  G.  Esler  and  Roman 
J.  Irwin;  for  secretary,  John  Young  and 
E.  C.  Vick;  for  treasurer,  Wm.  C.  Rick- 
ards,  Jr.,  and  William  Kather;  for  trus- 
tees, Alfred  T.  Bunyard,  Emil  Schloss, 
Thos.  Boothe  DeForest  and  Max  Schling. 

Secretary  Young  opened  a  discussion 
on  cooperative  publicity,  and  told  of 
what  the  florists  of  BuffaJo  and  other 
cities  were  doing.  Wallace  R.  Pierson 
described  the  publicity  arrangements 
made  by  the  florists  of  Hartford,  where- 
by $2,400  a  year  was  being  expended  for 
local  publicity.  While  no  action  le- 
sulted  from  the  discussion,  it  is  likely 
that  the  matter  will  again  come  up  at 
a  subsequent  meeting. 

The  secretary  called  attention  to  the 
billboards  which  the  publicity  campaign 
committees  are  putting  out,  explaining 
the  construction  and  design,  and  asked 
that  any  member  having  a  suitable  site 
for  a  sign  get  in  touch  with  him. 

A.  N.  Pierson,  Inc.,  made  a  splendid 
display  of  chrysanthemums  and  roses, 
on  which  the  committee  on  awards  made 
the  following  report:  Rose  Pilgrim,  86 
points,  preliminary  certificate  recom- 
mended; Rose  Crusader,  86  points,  pre- 
liminary certificate  recommended; 
Chrysanthemum  Golden  Barbara  Davis, 
88  points,  preliminary  certificate;  col- 
lection of  singles  and  pompons,  highly 
commended.  J.  11.  P.

ficient  quantities  to  meet  the  demand. 
Roses  are  in  fair  demand  and  of  good 
quality. 

Starting  the  Public. 

The  local  florists  banded  together  to 
start  the  "Say  It  with  Flowers"  week 
by  sending  a  bouquet  to  every  patient  in 
the  hospitals  and  every  inmate  of  the 
charitable  institutions,  numbering  1,500 
in  all.  To  each  bouquet  was  tied  a  card 
with  these  words: 

"SAY   IT   WITH   FLOWERS." 
AVo  want  to  be  sure,  and  so  do  you. 

That  somebody  cares  the  same  old  way — 
So  we  listen   to  flowers  and  tell  with  flowers 

The  things  we  love  to  hear  and  say! 

With  the  compliments  of  the  florists  of  London 
on  their  "Say  It  with  Flowers"  week,  Novemlaer 
3  to  November  8,  1919. 

The  local  papers  took  up  the  idea  in 
fine  shape  and  a  number  of  good  edito- 
rials appeared,  stating  that  next  year  the 
public  should  catch  the  idea  of  "Say  It 
with  Flowers"  in  such  a  way  as  to  see 
that  everyone  who  was  ill  or  shut  in 
should  benefit  by  a  box  of  flowers. 

Various  Notes. 

The  West  Floral  Co.  reports  a  heavy 
Week  in  funeral  work. 

J.  Gammage  &  Sons  are  cutting  some 
fine  mums  from  their  greenhouses.  Their 
cyclamens  and  Christmas  plants  are 
showing  up  well  and  will  be  in  fine  shape 
for  the  holiday  season. 

The  Dicks  Flower  Shop  had  a  number 
of  decorations  last  week  and  reports  a 
heavy  week  in  funeral  work. 

A.  Roberts  &  Sons  are  cutting  a  fine 
lot  of  mums,  which  find  a  heavy  demand.

The  Market. 

Cooler  and  more  settled  weather  has 
brought  an  impetus  to  local  trade. 
Chrysanthemums  in  all  the  seasonable 
varieties  are  now  arriving  in  large  quan- 
tities. The  first  Paper  Whites  made 
their  appearance  last  week  and  were  of 
good  quality.  Sweet  peas  and  violets 
are  beginning  to  arrive,  but  not  in  suf- 


October  Summary. 

While  it  was  anticipated  that  October 
would  prove  a  good  business  month,  it 
was  not  expected  to  compare  with  Octo- 
ber, 1918,  when  total  sales  mounted  to 
more  than  three  times  the  average,  yet 
October,  1919,  may  be  recorded  as  hav- 
ing gone  over  the  top  and  broken  the 
month's  record. 

In  no  month  since  the  outbreak  of 
the  war  in  1914  have  there  been  so  many 
weddings,  nor  has  the  use  of  flowers 
been  so  general  as  in  the  month  just 
past.  While  the  demand  for  funeral 
work  was  not  to  be  compared  with  that 
of  1918,  yet  there  has  been  a  constant 
call  for  pieces  of  better  quality,  so  that 
the  total  value  has  not  fallen  off  to  any 
great  extent.  Added  to  the  everyday 
run  of  affairs,  there  were  two  or  three 
social  functions  of  a  more  than  ordinary 
nature,  the  visit  of  the  Prince  of  Wales 
and  the  Shrincrs'  ball  being  two  of  the 
most  outstanding.  The  decorations  for 
both  affairs  called  for  a  good  deal  of 
work  and  a  considerable  quantity  of 
material. 

The  Dicks  Floral  Co.  had  the  decora- 
tion for  the  Prince's  banquet,  which 
called  for  a  great  deal  of  detail  work 
and  which  was  executed  in  a  manner 
that  commanded  praise  from  all  who 
saw  it. 

Gammage  &  Sons  had  the  decorations 
for  the  Prince's  reception  at  the  ar- 
mories and  also  the  decoration  at  the 
Masonic  Temple  for  the  Shrincrs'  ball 
October  31,  the  latter  calling  for  large 
quantities  of  wild  smilax,  shocks  of 
corn,  sheaves  of  oats,  pumpkins  and 
thousands  of  yellow  pompon  chrysanthe- 
mums, together  with  draping  of  Hal- 
loween colors,  all  forming  a  most  ef- 
fective and  elaborate  decoration. 

While  carnations  have  been  scarce, 
bringing  holiday  prices,  $7  to  $10  per 


hundred,  roses  and  chrysanthemums 
have  been  in  oversupply,  although 
wholesale  prices  remain  firm  and  are  at 
least  twenty  per  cent  higher  than  in  the 
United  States. 

Advice  that  azaleas  have  arrived  at 
Montreal  has  been  received  and  grow- 
ers are  anxiously  awaiting  their  arrival 
here.  W.  W.  G. 


BALTIMORE. 


The  Market. 

Although  that  long  looked  for  frost 
has  not  yet  arrived,  the  market,  while 
somewhat  congested  with  outdoor  stock, 
has  been  all  that  could  be  desired. 
Large  mums  last  week  cleaned  up  well. 
Some  of  the  finer  blooms  bring  $3,  $4 
and  $5  per  dozen;  there  are  plenty  of 
medium  size  to  be  had  at  prices  ranging 
from  $10  to  $15  per  hundred.  The  mum 
market  seems  to  be  a  good  indication  of 
what  we  may  expect  in  the  flower  mar- 
ket this  winter.  The  public  is  willing  to 
pay  $8  and  $10  per  dozen  for  really  fine 
flowers  and  of  course  they  are  paying 
in  proportion  for  the  smaller  blooms. 

Roses,  while  not  by  any  means  plen- 
tiful, are  sufficient  for  all  requirements, 
and  I  do  not  think  there  were  ever  finer 
grades  on  this  market.  Carnations  are 
fast  coming  into  their  own,  as  far  as 
quality  is  concerned,  but  the  demand  for 
them  will  not  be  what  it  should  while 
mums  last.  If  what  is  seen  this  early 
in  the  season  is  a  harbinger  of  what  the 
later  crop  is  to  be,  there  should  be  no 
complaint  about  carnations  this  winter. 
The  advance  crop  of  sweet  peas  has  al- 
ready made  its  appearance  and,  while 
the  quantity  is  not  yet  large,  the  quality 
is  good.  Violets  are  to  be  had,  but,  like 
sweet  peas,  are  not  by  any  means  plen- 
tiful yet. 

Various  Notes. 

At  the  funeral  of  Mrs.  Andrew  Whit- 
ridge,  about  two  weeks  ago,  I  saw  as 
fine  a  lot  of  funeral  work  as  it  has  ever 
been  my  good  fortune  to  see.  One  re- 
markable thing  about  this  great  mass  of 
flowers  was  that,  aside  from  wreaths, 
there  was  not  a  design  among  them.  A 
pall  made  by  Samuel  Feast  &  Sons  was 
certainly  a  fine  piece  of  work;  it  was 
composed  of  a  background  of  smilax, 
over  which  was  maidenhair  fern,  with 
a  cross  of  orchids  worked  in  the  center 
and  a  border  of  violets.  Mary  Johns- 
ton had  three  truck-ioads  of  sprays  and 
wreaths;  her  sprays  of  roses  were  cer- 
tainly fine,  made  of  Stevenson  Bros.^ 
Premier  and  Columbia  roses.  Never 
have  I  seen  finer  roses  than  these  boys 
are  now  putting  on  the  market.  Every- 
one had  a  share  in  the  work,  for  the 
Whitridges  are  one  of  the  largest  and 
oldest  families  in  the  city. 

A  verdict  was  rendered  in  the  Court 
of  Common  Pleas  recently  which  will  be 
far-reaching.  Benjamin  Stoll,  a  florist 
of  Brooklyn,  Anne  Arundel  county,  sued 
the  Davidson  Ciiemical  Co.,  of  Curtis 
Bay,  for  $100,000  for  damages  done  to 
his  growing  crops  by  fumes  from  the  de- 
fendant's  factory.  The  trial  was  in  the 
nature  of  a  test  case.  After  deliberat- 
ing until  late  in  the  night,  the  jury 
brought  in  a  sealed  verdict  in  favor  of 
Mr.  Stoll  for  $100.  This  established  the 
right  of  Mr.  Stoll's  father,  the  owner  of 
the  property,  to  recover  for  depreciation 
in  its  value.  There  has  been  complaint 
for  some  time  in  this  section  of  the  dam- 
age done  to  florists'  crops  by  this  fac- 
tory.

Billboard  which  the  National  Publicity  Committee  is  now  Sending  to  Florists  for  Erection  on  Public  Highways. 


One  of  the  most  compact  and  up-to- 
date  ranges  in  this  state  is  that  of  Jesse 
P.  King,  situated  on  both  sides  of  the 
Frederick  road,  at  Mount  Airy.  An  addi- 
tion of  three  Hitchings  &  Co.  houses  and 
a  concrete  office  building  has  just  been 
completed.  The  new  houses  were  built 
over  sweet  peas,  so  that  this  crop  is 
now  well  advanced  and  Mr.  King  will 
not  have  long  to  wait  until  these  houses 
are  producing.  The  original  houses  of 
this  range  are  producing  as  fine  roses 
as  any  in  the  state.  Here  will  be  found 
Columbia,  Hadley,  Double  White  Kil- 
larney,  Radiance  and  Ophelia.  Three 
varieties  of  carnations  are  grown,  En- 
chantress, White  Enchantress  and  Mrs. 
Siegwart. 

In  a  recent  conversation,  George 
Black  told  me  that  he  was  already  pre- 
paring for  the  decorations  for  the  first 
Bachelors'  cotillion,  which  will  be  held 
this  year  December  1.  Only  one  cotil- 
lion was  held  last  year;  it  had  been  de- 
cided to  hold  none  on  account  of  the 
war,  but  after  the  armistice  was  signed 
it  was  agreed  to  hold  one  on  Washing- 
ton's birthday.  Mr.  Black  says  they 
are  going  to  make  up  for  lost  time  this 
winter.  This  will  be  welcome  news  to 
every  florist,  for  the  cotillion  is  one  of 
the  best  flower  occasions  of  the  season. 
The  next  event  in  importance  will  be 
that  of  the  Hebrews,  the  Harmonee  Cir- 
cle, which  will  be  held  at  the  Belvedere 
Thanksgiving  eve.  While  these  are  the 
two  most  important  functions,  Mr. 
Black  says  there  will  be  many  large 
private  entertainments  held  this  winter 
and  this  bids  fair  to  be  one  of  the  gay- 
est seasons  in  history. 

Philip  B.  Welsh  is  sending  to  the  S.  S. 
Pennoek  Co.  fine  white  and  yellow  Tur-

DETROIT,  MICH. 


The  Market. 

There  were  no  special  affairs  last 
week;  hence  the  drop  in  business  was 
noticeable.  The  market  is  well  stocked 
with  almost  everything  in  season. 

Chrysanthemums  are  moving  nicely, 
with  no  oversupply,  so  that  the  sale  of 
them  is  good  business,  with  no  cut  rate 
sales.  Wm.  Turner  and  Yellow  Turner 
are  in  great  demand  and  bring  the  high- 
est price;  they  are  of  particularly  high 
quality.  Some  extra  large  Major  Bon- 
naffons  are  to  be  had,  but  they  are 
quickly  disposed  of.  A  good  supply  of 
Chieftain   and  White  Chieftain   of  fair 


quality  is  to  be  had  and,  although  the 
supply  is  heavy,  they  usually  sell.  Pom- 
pons are  in  oversupply,  with  a  good 
amount  moving,  however.  Baby,  the 
tiny  yellow,  is  scarce,  also  Baby  Doll. 
There  is  also  a  tiny  pink  one,  called 
Pink  Tot,  that  is  in  great  demand. 

Eoses  are  plentiful,  with  the  demand 
light.  American  Beauties  are  of  good 
quality,  but  they  are  slow  to  move  and 
hence  they  stock  up,  especially  the 
short-stemmed  grades.  Long-stemmed 
Hoosier  Beauties  are  also  of  fine  qual- 
ity, with  the  demand  poor.  It  is  the 
same  with  long-stemmed  Shawyer, 
Ophelia,  Sunburst  and  Premier;  only  a 
small  percent  find  a  buyer  and  the  rest 
stock  up,  to  be  sold  in  large  lots  at 
cheaper  prices.  The  medium  grades 
find  conditions  better;  they  are  in  good 
supply  and  most  of  them  are  sold  each 
day. 

Carnations  are  in  a  glut,  only  a  lim- 
ited amount  of  the  best  being  sold. 
Hundreds  pile  up  each  day,  since  the 
demand  is  much  too  slow. 

Sweet  peas  and  violets  are  coming  in 
well,  but  as  yet  the  demand  for  both  is 
poor.  Calendulas  are  still  in  season, 
with  the  demand  good.  Paper  Whites 
are  in  limited  supply  and  find  a  good 
demand.  Bouvardia  continues  to  come 
in,  with  the  demand  brisk.  There  are 
also  English  wallflower  and  calla  lilies 
to  be  had. 

Greens  of  all  kinds  are  abundant. 

Detroit  Florists'  Club  Meets. 

The  Detroit  Florists'  Club  met  at 
Sidney  Beard's  greenhouses  out  on  Fort 
street  Tuesday,  November  4,  where  they 
were  elegantly  entertained.  In  connec- 
tion with  the  meeting,  a  steak  dinner 
was  served. 

The  matter  of  Sunday  closing  was 
brought  up  and  favored  by  many,  the 
wholesaler  putting  it  up  to  the  retailers. 
It  was  decided  to  design  a  uniform  sign 
for  all  those  who  keep  their  stores  closed 
Sundays. 

It  was  also  decided  to  attend  the 
Temple  theater  in  a  body  to  hear  Miss 
Grace  La  Rue  sing  "Say  It  with  Flow- 
ers," but  it  was  impossible  to  get  tick- 
ets. Several  stores  had  window  dis- 
plays advertising  Miss  Grace  La  Rue 
and  the  local  florists  kept  her  and  the 
entrance  of  the  theater  well  supplied 
with  fresh  flowers. 

Mrs.  Wm.  McGraw  addressed  the 
club,  thanking  the  members  for  co- 
operation given  in  school  garden  work, 
especially  for  the  prizes  given  to  chil- 
dren. 


Harry  Smith,  of  North  Woodward 
avenue,  is  to  present  a  paper  to  the 
club. 

A  special  meeting  is  to  be  held  at  the 
Hotel  Statler  November  18,  chrysanthe- 
mum night,  when  mums  will  be  on  dis- 
play and  several  visitors  will  address 
the  club.

Various  Notes. 

Elmer  D.  Smith,  of  Adrian,  Mich.,  is 
cutting  some  novelties  in  mums,  which 
are  of  highest  quality.  His  Baby  Doll 
and  Pink  Tot  pompons  are  especially 
sought  in  this  market. 

Thomas  Browne,  of  Greenfield,  Mich., 
is  cutting  quantities  of  high-grade 
nuims.  His  Wm.  Turner  and  Yellow 
Turner  are  in  a  class  by  themselves. 

William  Hielscher  has  bought  out  the 
Pulk  Flower  Shop,  on  East  Milwaukee 
avenue.     His  business  is  wire  work. 

The  Marine  City  Floral  Co.  is  cutting 
excellent  bouvardia  in  white,  pink  and 
coral  pink  shades.  This  firm  is  also 
shipping  in  choice  Paper  Whites,  cal- 
endulas and  mums.  H.  T.

John  Cook,  Nestor  of  American  rosar- 
ians,  will  be  86  years  of  age  next  Sunday, 
November  16. 

Highest  cotton  prices  for  nearly  two 
generations  promise  a  good  season  for 
southern  florists. 

It  looks  as  though  there  will  be  enough 
giganteum  bulbs  at  the  price  to  meet  the 
needs  of  the  trade. 

After  effects  of  the  war  are  noticeable 
in  this  year's  chrysanthemum  shows, 
where  commercial  growers  are  conspicu- 
ous by  their  absence. 

Immortelles  are  arriving  from  France, 
129  cases  having  come  on  the  steamer 
Roma,  from  Marseilles,  which  reached 
New  York  November  5. 

Success  of  the  administration  in  break- 
ing the  coal  strike  gives  hope  that  labor 
disorders  will  be  less  prominent  as  a  pub- 
lic trouble  than  they  have  been  lately. 

A  REFRIGERATING  machine  capable  of 
handling  two  big  cold  rooms  for  a  flo- 
rist costs  no  more  than  a  moderately  well 
built  delivery  car  and  costs  a  great  deal 
less  to  operate. 

E.  G.  Hill  and  Mrs.  Hill  have  returned 
to  their  home  at  Richmond  after  a  two 
months'  tour  of  the  Pacific  coast.  Mr. 
Hill  is  more  than  ever  confident  of  Amer- 
ica 's  ability  to  supply  itself  horticultural- 
ly,  but  thinks  some  people  make  the  im- 
mediate future  rather   too  rosy. 

Although  it  comes  too  late  for  the 
larger  part  of  the  chrysanthemum  ship- 
ments, the  resumption  of  refrigerator  ex- 
press cars  from  San  Francisco  to  Chicago 
will  greatly  facilitate  shipping  business 
from  that  point.  The  cars  leave  Wednes- 
days and  Fridays  and  travel  via  Ogden 
and  Omaha. 

The  Sunday  magazine  supplement  of 
the  St.  Louis  Globe-Democrat,  November 
9,  carried  an  article  of  more  than  a  page 
on  chrysanthemums.  In  the  same  edition 
the  St.  Louis  florists  carried  a  9-inch  ad- 
vertisement across  three  columns  on  '  *  Au- 
tumn Time  Is  Chrysanthemum  Time." 
Double-barreled  publicity. 


Conserve  coal;  stock  grown  cool  is  bet- 
ter than  that  which  is  overforeed  and  we 
all  may  need  the  fuel  later. 

The  season's  largest  trade  show  seems 
to  be  that  of  the  Indiana  State  Florists' 
Association  at  Indianapolis  this  week. 
Private  entries  compose  most  of  the  other 
exhibitions. 

With  its  roster  of  club  members  the 
St.  Louis  Florists'  Club  is  sending  out  a 
leaflet  bearing  the  names  of  florists  who 
are  not  members.  A  good  wager  would 
be  that  the  next  list  will  not  be  so  long. 

There  will  be  a  large  number  of  cycla- 
mens on  the  market  for  Christmas  and 
later,  with  a  still  larger  supply  in  pros- 
pect for  the  season  of  1920-21.  Although 
the  demand  for  cyclamen  seeds  during  re- 
cent months  was  greater  than  the  supply, 
it  develops  that  many  growers  got  hold 
of  unheard  of  quantities. 

The  Federal  Horticultural  Board  will 
not  permit  foreign  plants,  if  shipped  with 
unsterilized  soil  about  the  roots,  to  pass 
across  from  New  York  to  Canada.  Prob- 
ably in  his  mind's  eye  Dr.  Marlatt  can 
see  a  trail  of  disease  and  destruction  in 
their  wake  like  the  droppings  from  a 
gondola  of  coal. 

It  looks  as  though  there  will  be  larger 
available  supplies  of  green  and  holly  this 
year,  but  the  prices  will  continue  high 
in  sympathy  with  other  things,  with  the 
result  that  demand  will  be  much  less  than 
before  the  war.  Particularly  with  bou- 
quet green,  the  demand  has  been  greatly 
reduced  by  the  ascending  priced. 

While  American  dyes  have  supplanted 
to  a  great  extent  those  imported  from 
Germany  before  the  war,  those  who  failed 
to  find  florists'  supplies  colored  with  do- 
mestic dyes  as  satisfactory  as  the  others 
will  have  interest  in  the  receipt  of  the 
first  shipment  of  aniline  dyes  from  Ger- 
many since  the  war.  It  arrived  on  the 
Nieuw  Amsterdam,  from  Rotterdam,  last 
week. 

As  an  indication  of  the  way  the  French 
hydrangea  is  to  be  used  to  take  the  place 
of  azaleas  in  the  United  States,  it  is  re- 
ported that  Henry  A.  Dreer,  Inc.,  River- 
ton,  N.  J.,  filled  one  order  for  two  car- 
loads for  a  single  purchaser  in  a  middle 
western  city  and  that  seven  other  orders 
to  various  parts  of  .the  country  were  for  a 
carload  each.  It  is  said,  also,  that  the 
supply  was  sold  out  at  least  three  months 
before  shipment  could  begin. 


THANKSGIVINO'S     OPPORTUNITY. 

A  holiday  that  is  growing  in  its  in- 
come for  florists  year  by  year  is  just 
two  weeks  off.  It  is  time  to  start  active 
work  to  draw  in  the  orders  for  that  day. 
There  is  on  this  occasion  an  opportunity 
to  reach  that  class  which  does  not  yield 
to  the  trade  the  proportion  of  its  lately 
increased  wealth — the  wage-earning 
class.  This  year  they  will  eat  turkey, 
whereas  they  were  forced  to  do  with  a 
roast  at  best  five  years  ago.  Now  they 
have  so  much  to  spend  on  clothes  and 
food  that  the  florist  would  like  to  find 
some  means  of  intensive  education  to 
draw  them  into  the  flower-buying  class. 

That  means  advertising  to  a  list  of 
persons  not  hitherto  reached  or  ap- 
proached. The  way  is  not  so  easy — no 
roads  to  the  most  desired  goals  are  car- 
peted. But  the  florists  who  can  find  a 
means  of  getting  into  the  minds  of  the 
factory  and  mill  workers  that  they 
should  buy  flowers  will  reap  a  real  har- 
vest. Thanksgiving  offers  an  opening 
for  a  drive  for  such  trade.     At  Christ- 


mas they  will  buy  jewelry  and  clothes 
for  gifts — those  are  what  their  minds 
are  most  set  on — but  such  things  do  not 
carry  the  Thanksgiving  idea.  Flowers 
are  more  suitable.  Perhaps  someone 
knows  a  way  to  impress  this  on  the 
minds  of  these  potential  customers. 

GOVERNMENT  BREAKS  STRIEE. 

Using  the  big  stick  of  a  court  injunc- 
tion, the  federal  government  forced  the 
leaders  of  the  coal  miners'  organiza- 
tions to  rescind  their  strike  order. 
Forced  into  a  crucial  position  by  the  in- 
junction order  obtained  by  the  attor- 
ney-general, the  officials  stated,  "We 
cannot  fight  our  government, "  and  re- 
called the  strike  order. 

While  the  strikers  are  going  back  to 
work  in  some  localities,  in  others  they 
will  be  slow  in  resuming  their  places 
in  the  mines.  However,  the  danger  of 
a  greatly  reduced  supply  of  coal  and 
possibility  of  famine  is  lessened  by 
withdrawal  of  the  strike  orders  and  the 
greenhousemen  who  have  still  part  of 
their  winter's  supply  to  secure  no  lon- 
ger fear  the  impossibility  of  getting  it. 


POPPIES  FOR  ARMISTICE  DAY. 

Influenced  doubtless  by  the  poetical 
allusions  to  Flanders'  fields,  some  per- 
sons of  little  florieultural  knowledge 
voiced  suggestions  of  poppies  as  suitable 
flowers  for  Armistice  day.  Such  mis- 
guided enthusiasm  works  at  cross-pur- 
poses with  the  florists'  provisions  for 
celebrating  the  day.  The  persons  who, 
following  a  suggestion  published  with- 
out thought,  ask  their  florists  for  pop- 
pies for  November  11,  are  disappointed. 
Some  are  content  with  other  blooms; 
some  are  not. 

In  such  an  instance,  the  necessity  for 
active  work  by  florists  to  guide  public 
sentiment  in  proper  channels  is  strongly 
evident.  Cooperative  campaigns  by  ad- 
vertising and  publicity  through  news 
columns  would  forestall  such  sugges- 
tions by  the  proposal  of  suitable  flowers, 
or  meet  such  suggestions  by  public  ex- 
planation of  their  impracticability.  The 
possibilities  of  cooperative  effort  by  the 
trade  are  most  evident  on  occasions 
such  as  this. 


TELL  YOUR  NEIGHBOR. 

It  has  been  years  and  years  since 
The  Review  has  found  it  necessary  to 
make  an  effort  to  obtain  subscribers.  Of 
course,  ordinary  business  diligence  is 
used  in  calling  the  paper  to  the  attention 
of  anyone  reported  as  starting  in  the 
business,  but  usually  it  is  found  that  the 
new  florist  had  heard  of  The  Review  be- 
fore The  Review  had  heard  of  the  new 
florist — his  first  step  in  starting  in  the 
business  was  to  subscribe  for  this  pa- 
per. When  a  publication  is  so  fortunate 
as  to  have  thousands  of  readers  recom- 
mending it  to  others  to  whom  it  will 
be  useful,  the  circulation  problem  solves 
itself.    Like  this: 

Permit  us  to  express  our  appreciation  of  that 
wonderful  trade  paper,  probably  the  best  In  the 
world.  The  Florists'  Review.— Hall  &  Robinson. 
Montreal,   Can.,   November  4,   1919. 

And  where  readers  are  so  interested 
and  so  loyal  the  advertisers'  results  are 
sure.    Like  this: 

You  may  discontinue  my  adTertisement  of 
gladlo  us  bulbs.  As  a  result  of  the  advertise- 
ment in  Ihe  Review  I  am  completely  sold  out.— 
Jacob  D.  Spiegel,  Norma,  N.  J.,  November  1,  1919. 

If  you  hear  a  man  complain  of  the 

cost  of  advertising  you   can  be  pretty 

pertain  he  spends  a  good  bit  of  money 

elsewhere  than  in  The  Review.

The  Florists^  Review

BOOHESTEB,  N.  Y. 


Mrs.  E.  Wienhoeber. 

Helena  Rincker  Wienhoeber  died  at 
her  residence  at  Highland  Park,  HI,,  No- 
vember 5,  after  a  protracted  illness. 

Mrs.  Wienhoeber  was  the  wife  of 
Ernst  Wienhoeber,  veteran  Chicago  re- 
tail florist,  and  the  mother  of  George 
William,  Edna  Charlotte  and  William 
Herman.  She  married  Mr.  Wienhoeber 
July  30,  1876,  her  home  having  been  at 
Lexington,  111.  The  florists'  business  in 
Chicago  was  started  in  1881  and  for 
many  years  Mrs.  Wienhoeber  was  in 
close  touch  with  it.  The  funeral  serv- 
ices were  held  at  the  chapel  at  Rose 
Hill  cemetery,  Chicago,  November  7. 
There  were  many  flowers  to  attest  the 
high  esteem  in  which  the  members  of 
the  family  are  held  in  the  community 
and  several  members  of  the  trade  were 
present.  Emil  Buettner,  who  was  asso- 
ciated with  Mr.  Wienhoeber  in  their 
early  days  in  the  florists'  business,  was 
one  of  the  pallbearers. 

Mary  Anna  Smith. 

Mrs.  Mary  Anna  Smith,  of  Smith  & 
Son,  and  mother  of  Thurston  H,  V. 
Smith,  Denver,  Colo.,  died  November  1 
from  paralysis  as  she  was  sitting  at 
table. 

Born  April  12,  1841,  at  Yaxham,  Nor- 
folk, England,  Mrs.  Smith  moved  to 
Denver  in  1873.  She  owned  one  of  the 
finest  upland  hay  ranches  on  the  St. 
Vrain  river,  near  Greeley,  Colo.  In  1891 
she  entered  the  florists'  business,  being 
the  silent  head  of  Smith  &  Son,  which 
since  1896  has  been  conducted  under  the 
ii;ime  of  Thurston  H.  V.  Smith,  who  will 
continue  the  business.  Mrs.  Smith  was 
a  hard  worker  in  the  business,  with  both 
hand  and  brain. 

She  was  buried  November  4  from  the 
lionie  she  had  planned  and  built  in  1879, 
at  2961  Lawrence  street.  The  pallbear- 
ers were  Emil  Glauber,  Albert  Mauff 
and  Mr.  McDonald,  all  florists,  and  an- 
otlier  friend.  Interment  was  at  River- 
side cemetery.  Many  flowers  from 
friends  in  the  trade  and  others  were  re- 
ceived. 

Surviving  Mrs.  Smith  are  her  hus- 
band, W.  H.  Smith;  her  son,  Thurston 
H.  V.  Smith;  a  stepdaughter  and  a 
graiiddaiiffiiter,  Anna   May  Smith. 

George  W.  Caton. 

George  W.  Caton,  of  George  W,  Caton 
&  Son,  Zanesville,  O.,  died  almost  in- 
stantly as  the  result  of  an  accident 
Tuesday  afternoon,  October  28.  He  fell 
from  a  wagon,  on  which  he  was  loading 
corn  fodder,  and  his  back  was  broken. 
He  was  71  years  of  age. 

Clarence  C.   Abrams. 

Clarence  C  Abrams  died  November  .'? 
at  the  Passavant  hospital,  following  a 
week's  illness  with  spinal  meningitis, 
which  began  with  the  sleeping  sickness. 
He  was  familiarly  known  to  the  trade 
as  "Cuddy"  and  had  recently  become 
manager  of  the  Victoria  Flower  Shop, 
on  William  Penn  way,  having  been  in 
the  employ  of  the  proprietor,  A.  Kron- 
gold,  for  the  last  eight  years.  He  was 
21  years  old  at  the  time  of  his  death. 
The  funeral  took  place  the  following 
Wednesday  afternoon,  November  5,  at 
the  home  of  his  parents,  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Meyer  Abrams,  of  59  Roberts  street. 


The  Market. 

Little  change  is  noticed  in  the  cut 
flower  market  from  that  of  a  week  ago, 
when  conditions  were  quoted  as  being 
somewhat  dull  and  lacking  pep.  Cooler 
weather  during  the  latter  part  of  the 
week  prevailed  and  is  more  seasonable. 
This  in  some  measure  stimulated  busi- 
ness and  gave  encouragement  to  the 
growers,  whose  stock  is  becoming  quite 
plentiful.  Much  work  of  great  impor- 
tance remains  to  be  done  outside.  Ow- 
ing to  the  lateness  of  the  bulbs  reach- 
ing the  city,  the  greater  part  of  the 
outside  planting  is  still  to  be  done  and 
the  labor  situation  is  not  at  all  good, 
experienced  help  being  extremely  hard 
to  find. 

The  supply  of  cut  flowers  continues 
to  be  good  and  meets  all  demands. 
Chrysanthemums  are  in  excellent  shape 
and  bring  fair  prices.  Beautiful  pom- 
pons are  seen  in  Minta  and  white  and 
yellow  singles,  as  well  as  the  small  but- 
ton varieties  in  all  colors;  the  latter 
kinds  sell  exceptionally  well.  Carna- 
\tions  are  quite  plentiful  and  move  well. 
They  are  improving  each  week,  both  in 
bloom  and  in  stem.  Reds  are  particular- 
ly good  just  now.  Sweet  peas  are  seen 
occasionally  and  sell  well.  The  supply 
of  violets  is  large  and  meets  all  de- 
mands. They,  too,  are  improving  in 
quality.  Cypripediums  and  other  or- 
chids are  in  good  supply  and  are  of  ex- 
cellent quality.  Gardenias  are  not  so 
popular.  A  few  gladioli  continue  to 
reach  the  market,  but  are  of  poor  qual- 
ity. Almost  all  outdoor  stock  is  gone, 
with  the  exception  of  some  cosmos  and 
sweet  alyssum,  which  are  found  quite 
useful. 

In  roses  the  supply  continues  quite 
good,  with  seasonable  prices.  American 
Beauties  are  not  much  in  demand,  but 
there  is  a  good  demand  for  Sunburst, 
Ophelia,  Ward,  Hoosier  Beauty,  Colum- 
bia, Killarney,  White  Killarney,  Mary- 
land, Kaiserin  Augusta,  Premier  and 
Cecile  Brunner.  Excellent  winter  ber- 
ries are  reaching  us  and  finding  a  good 
demand.  All  greens  are  plentiful  and 
sell  well.  Wild  smilax  is  in  good  de- 
mand. 

Rose  Society  Meets. 

The  Rochester  Rose  Society  held  its 
November  meeting  on  Monday  evening, 
November  3,  at  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce. There  was  a  large  attendance 
of  both  ladies  and  gentlemen.  The  so- 
ciety is  growing  and  already  has  a  mem- 
bership of  170.  The  chief  speaker  was 
Frederick  Wallace,  who  spoke  on  the 
successful  growing  of  hybrid  tea  roses. 
He  arranged  his  talk  under  different 
heads,  such  as  soil,  time  of  planting, 
stock,  labels,  cultivation,  proper  food, 
treatment  and  rose  diseases,  and  then 
added  a  list  of  those  roses  that  he  con- 
sidered most  desirable  for  the  amateur. 

Various  Notes. 

Bert  Dowden,  former  shipping  clerk 
for  the  Rochester  Floral  Co.,  has  been 
obliged  to  give  up  his  position  with 
this  firm  on  account  of  sickness.  He 
is  receiving  treatment  in  a  sanitarium 
on  the  coast  of  Maine.  The  trade  ex- 
tend their  best  wishes  for  a  complete 
recovery.  Dewey  Lester  has  taken  over 
the  position  left  vacant  by  Mr.  Dowden. 

Art  Beyers,  formerly  of  Rochester,  N. 
Y.,  is  now  with  Fleischman's,  of  New 
York  city. 


The  park  department  officials  say  that 
the  display  of  chrysanthemums  in  the 
Highland  park  conservatory  is  now  at 
its  best.  More  than  100  varieties 
are  now  in  bloom,  including  some 
of  the  latest  varieties.  There  are  at 
least  2,500  plants  in  the  display.  In- 
cluded in  this  collection  are  hundreds 
with  one  large  bloom  and  a  large 
collection  of  bush  plants.  The  range 
and  shades  of  coloring  are  exceedingly 
beautiful.  Several  dozen  varieties  of 
mums  are  also  seen  downtown  in  the 
municipal  building,  where  a  show  house 
of  small  size  is  built  onto  the  park  com- 
missioner's  office. 

Considerable  advertising  in  the  local 
papers  of  this  city  stimulated  great  in- 
terest and  proved  to  be  a  wonderful 
success  in  the  carrying  out  of  a  beauti- 
ful chrysanthemum  show  November  2 
to  8,  at  the  store  of  George  T.  Boucher. 
Large  crowds  of  people  have  visited  the 
display  daily.  Oak-covered  lattice 
work  and  a  profusion  of  beautiful 
Japanese  lanterns  practically  trans- 
formed the  ceilings  and  side  walls, 
while  the  windows  and  floors,  tables 
and  stands,  showed  exquisite  blooms  of 
the  latest  and  best  in  both  commercial 
and  exhibition  varieties.  Each  vase 
was  named.  In  conjunction  with  this 
display,  Arthur  M,  Newborn  showed  a 
beautiful  collection  of  baskets,  wreaths, 
sprays  and  vases  of  dried  flowers  and 
foliages.  H.  J.  H. 


CHICAGO. 


The  Mar&et. 


November  10  was  the  biggest  day  this 
market  as  a  whole  has  had  this  season. 
The  conditions  were  radically  different 
from  those  of  a  week  before.  Outdoor 
stock  at  length  has  disappeared,  not 
only  from  the  Chicago  market,  but  also 
from  the  subsidiary  markets  in  the  ter- 
ritory of  which  Chicago  is  the  center. 
With  the  arrival  of  cooler  weather,  de- 
mand has  increased  materially  and  the 
supply  of  stock  has  been  reduced.  The 
result,  of  course,  has  been  an  improve- 
ment in  prices  which  will  bo  most  wel- 
come to  the  growers,  many  of  whom 
were  beginning  to  be  uneasy.  There  has 
been  a  marked  increase  in  the  call  for 
flowers  for  social  purposes.  Both  in 
this  city  and  in  other  cities  served  by 
the  Chicago  market,  the  call  for  fine 
stock  has  been  greatly  accelerated  by 
coming  out  parties  and  other  social 
affairs.  The  result  has  ])een  that  the 
best  grades  of  stock  have  been  moving 
at  more  nearly  their  true  worth  than 
was  the  case  in  October. 

The  peak  of  the  chrysanthemum  sea- 
son has  passed.  This  is  not  to  say  that 
there  is  any  shortage  of  chrysanthe- 
mums, but  the  pressure  to  sell  is  less 
and  the  quality  of  the  stock  is  better 
than  at  any  time  in  the  last  three 
weeks.  Bonnaffon  is  the  principal  va- 
riety now  seen  and  it  is  bringing  excel- 
lent prices,  because  yellow  is  the  color 
most  in  request.  Pompons  have  been 
the  wholesalers'  greatest  problem  ever 
since  they  came  into  crop.  It  never  has 
been  possible  to  clean  up  and  the  whole- 
salers have  had  their  choice  of  selling 
the  accumulation  at  ridiculous  prices  or 
paying  the  increased  fee  tho  garbage 
man  now  asks.  The  condition  has  been 
somewhat  relieved  in  the  last  few  days, 
but  it  is  not  yet  possible  to  sell  out 
clean.  Some  growers  say  they  will  be

cut  out  of  mums  before  Thanksgiving, 
but  others  have  special  batches  grown 
for  that  occasion  and  the  market  will 
be  moderately  well  supplied. 

The  supply  of  Beauties  is  small  and 
there  has  been  an  advance  of  twenty- 
five  per  cent  in  the  price  of  the  best 
grades.  List  prices  of  the  other  roses 
are  unchanged  this  week,  but  there  is 
the  important  difference  that  it  now  is 
possible  to  clean  up  at  these  prices; 
each  day's  receipts  go  out  as  they  come 
in  and  there  is  no  accumulation,  Colum- 
bia is  the  variety  most  seen,  with 
Premier,  Russell  and  Ophelia  following 
in  the  order  named. 

There  is  a  steady  increase  in  the  sup- 
ply of  carnations.  They  are  holding 
their  own  in  the  matter  of  price,  but 
probably  cannot  advance  until  after 
the   deluge   of   white    pompons  is   past. 


Paper  Whites  are  something  of  a  prob- 
lem. They  cannot  be  sold  cheaply  now 
that  the  price  of  the  bulbs  is  so  high, 
but  retailers  refuse  to  regard  them  as 
a  fancy  flower.  There  is  some  increase 
in  the  supply  of  sweet  peas  and  these 
are  popular.  Violets  also  have  become 
more  salable.  Valley  is  more  plentiful, 
the  grower  apparently  having  foreseen 
the  increased  demand  for  fancy  flowers 
at  this  date.  Cattleyas  are  in  erratic 
supply  and  demand,  prices  varying 
widely  from  day  to  day.  The  small  sup- 
ply of  bouvardia  moves  briskly.  Calen- 
dulas are  not  actively  in  request. 
Greens  are  plentiful. 

Club  Meeting. 

The  monthly  meeting  of  the  Florists' 
Club  was  held  at  the  Hotel  Randolph, 
Thursday    evening,    November    6.      All 


the  officers  and  trustees  were  present, 
with  but  a  fair  representation  of  mem- 
bers. 

The  following  applicants  for  member- 
ship were  elected:  Tony  Then,  218 
Winnemac  avenue;  Fred  G.  Barry,  850 
West  Seventy-ninth  street;  H.  C.  Wull- 
brandt,  5515  West  Madison  street; 
Antonio  Rocca,  55  East  Jackson  boule- 
vard. 

The  special  committee  reported  it 
was  unable  to  get  the  meeting  of  the 
F.  T.  D.  for  Chicago  in  1920,  but  that 
the  matter  should  be  taken  up  again 
with  a  view  to  securing  the  meeting  at 
some  future  time,  A  communication 
was  read  from  Secretary  Young,  regard- 
ing the  club's  representation  on  the 
board  of  directors  of  the  S.  A.  F.  and 
appropriate  action  was  taken.

McCabe,  Arnold  Eingier,  Andrew  Mc- 
Adams  and  John  B.  Deamud  were  read 
and  adopted. 

Walter  Amling,  of  the  sports  com- 
mittee, was  appointed  to  invite  florist 
bowling  teams  from  the  different  cities 
to  bowl  in  Chicago  in  January,  during 
the  meeting  of  the  American  Carnation 
Society. 

The  new  rose,  Cornelia,  from  Eobt. 
Scott  &  Son,  of  Sharon  Hill,  Pa.,  ar- 
rived in  too  poor  condition  to  be  judged. 
Premier  and  Milady,  from  Weiss- 
Spandikow  Co.,  Maywood,  was  well 
grown  stock  in  perfect  condition  and 
the  club's  certificate  was  recommended. 


Fine  specimens  of  Columbia  roses  by 
Weiss  &  Meyer  Co.,  Maywood,  elicited 
much  praise  from  the  judges,  Otto  H. 
Amling,  Ernst  C.  Amling  and  W.  J. 
Keimel.  A  meritorious  exhibit  by 
Poehlmann  Bros.  Co.,  of  Christmas 
novelties,  was  given  high  commenda- 
tion. Honorable  mention  was  recom- 
mended for  the  Wonder  Plant  Irriga- 
tor Co.,  for  self  watering  hanging  bas- 
kets which  the  committee  thought  had 
considerable  merit.  Geo.  Asmus,  Jos. 
Kohout  and  Jas.  Morton  were  judges 
in  this  section. 

T.    E.   Waters   announced    that    there 
will  be  an  exhibit  of  Christmas  plants 


and  novelties  at  the  December  meeting. 
George  Asmus  spoke  of  the  necessity  of 
cooperative  advertising,  bringing  out 
many  good  new  points. 

Nominations  of  officers  for  the  com- 
ing year  were  as  follows:  For  presi- 
dent, Paul  Klingsporn,  by  Fred  Lauten- 
schlager,  and  Otto  H.  Amling,  by  Paul 
Klingsporn;  for  vice-president,  T.  E. 
Waters;  for  treasurer.  Otto  H.  Amling 
and  Paul  Weiss;  for  secretary,  F. 
Lautenschlager;  for  trustee,  W.  J. 
Keimel.

of  the  Chicago  Ketail  Florists'  Associa- 
tion, succeeding  L.  R.  Bohannon,  at  a 
meeting  held  at  the  Morrison  hotel  No- 
vember 11.  Other  ofiicers  chosen  for  the 
organization's  second  year  are:  Vice- 
president,  A.  Langc;  secretary,  John  G. 
Wittbold;  treasurer,  W.  J.  Smyth;  di- 
rectors, George  Wienhoeber,  Andrew 
Chronis,  L.  K.  Bohannon,  J.  L.  Kaske, 
Peter  Duris,  John  Ganger,  George 
Walther. 

The  discussion  at  the  meeting,  which 
was  well  attended,  centered  around  the 
plans  for  jmblicity  during  the  first  half 
of  1920.  It  was  reported  that  a  well 
known  vaudeville  star,  to  be  at  the 
Majestic  theater  for  the  week  beginning 
November  24,  will  feature  the  new 
popular  song,  "Say  It  with  Flowers," 
and  it  was  arranged  to  supply  flowers 
as  a  means  of  increasing  the  publicity 
value  of  the  act,  which  has  been  re- 
ported from  the  east  as  a  good  boost  for 
the  trade. 

Various  Notes. 

Debutante  week  in  Memphis  was  felt 
in  the  Chicago  market  November  10, 
numerous  large  orders  calling  for  cat- 
tleyas,  valley  and  other  expensive  stock. 

Tom  Conlon  and  associates  have  ac- 
quired the  detached  range  of  the  Ba- 
tavia  Greenhouse  Co.,  Batavia,  111., 
heretofore  used  for  the  retail  end  of 
that  business.  Mr.  Conlon  will  be  ac- 
tively in  charge  and  pot  plants  and 
young  stock  for  the  wholesale  trade  will 
be  grown. 

High  wind  on  the  morning  of  Novem- 
ber 10  wrecked  one-half  of  a  house  llx 
75  feet  at  the  range  of  F.  W.  Aever- 
mann,  5509  West  Hirsch  street,  in 
Cragin.

Tliis  is  autumn  opening  week  with 
its  customers  in  many  cities,  reports 
the  Chicago  Flower  Growers'  Associa- 
tion. The  demand  for  stock  for  store 
shows  has  been  unusually  strong  the 
last  few  days. 

C.  H.  Fisk  is  preparing  to  turn  his 
business  over,  about  January  1,  to  the 
younger  associates  in  it,  without  defi- 
nite plans  as  to  his  future.  He  prob- 
ably will  spend  a  part  of  the  winter  in 
California. 

Walter  Amling,  son  of  Albert  F. 
Amling,  leaves  this  week  for  southern 
California  with  the  intention  of  making 
his   home  there.     He  was  formerly  as- 


sociated with  his  father  and  brothers 
in  the  greenhouse  business  at  Maywood, 
but  recently  has  been  on  a  farm.  His 
thought  is  to  try  rose  growing  on  the 
coast. 

Emil  Benttner  increased  his  planting 
of  Bonnaffon  chrysanthemums  this  sea- 
son and  is  cutting  some  of  the  nicest 
stock  of  this  old  favorite  which  ever 
came  to  this  market. 

An  araucaria  has  occupied  the  center 
of  George  Wienhoeber's  window  this 
week.  One  doesn't  often  see  this  old 
favorite  nowadays. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Clarence  Ellsworth 
have    returned    from    their    honeymoon

trip  south  and  have  taken  up  their  resi- 
dence in  their  new  home  on  the  south 
side. 

<T.  and  Mrs.  E.  C.  Amling  leave  this 
week  to  spend  .the  winter  at  Orange, 
Cal.,  where  Mr.  Amling  has  a  sister. 
They  have  rented  a  bungalow  and 
shipped  the  Packard. 

John  Michelsen  has  a  badly  damaged 
right  hand  as  the  result  of  a  slip  when 
he  put  his  strength  against  a  door  which 
had  stuck. 

The  death  of  Mrs.  E.  Wicnhoeber  is 
recorded  in  this  week's  obituary  col- 
umn. 

J.  E.  Pollworth  states  that  the  Octo- 
ber sales  of  Kennicott  Bros.  Co.  figured 
out  as  an  increase  of  nine  per  cent,  com- 
pared with  last  October.  He  says  the 
records  show  it  was  because  of  a  longer 
average  length  of  stem  in  the  roses 
handled. 

November  14  A.  C.  Benson  will  cele- 
brate his  thirty-first  anniversary  as 
superintendent  of  the  Bassett  &  Wash- 
burn greenhouses,  originally  of  Hins- 
dale and  now  of  Greggs  Station.  Mr. 
Benson  was  one  of  the  exhibitors  at 
the  first  flower  show  held  in  Chicago 
and  he  carried  off  the  blue  ribbon  then 
for  American  Beauties,  as  he  has  done 
many  times  since. 

W.  J.  Smyth  says  the  present  season 
thus  far  is  a  little  behind  last  year  as 
to  volume  of  sales,  but  that  the  diflfer- 
enee  is  not  nearly  so  great  as  the  de- 
crease in  the  call  for  funeral  work. 
Furthermore,  the  margin  of  profit  is 
better  this  season,  partly  because  the 
public  has  become  accustomed  to  the 
present  level  of  retail  prices  and  part- 
ly because  the  wholesale  prices  are  not 
so  stiff. 

Representatives  of  McHutchison  & 
Co.,  New  York,  have  been  busy  this 
week  distributing  a  car  of  giganteums 
just  in  from  Japan.  Another  car  is 
due.  When  orders  have  been  shipped 
any  unsold  portion  of  the  two  cars  will 
be  sent  east  to  replace  stock  bound  for 
New  York  lost  in  the  sinking  of  the 
Yoten  Maru. 

George  Fisher,  who,  with  his  retail 
trade  and  his  purchasing  for  out-of- 
town  stores,  seems  never  to  be  idle, 
says  he  thinks  the  trade  should  be  well 
content  this  season.  "What  if  we  do 
have  to  pay  a  little  more  for  boxes  and 
other  things?"  asked  Mr.  Fisher; 
"more  people  than  ever  before  are  buy- 
ing flowers." 

A.  J.  Zech  was  called  to  La  Porte, 
Ind.,  November  6,  to  attend  the  fu- 
neral of  his  uncle,  George  Wagner. 

Mrs.  Peter  Reinberg  and  Mrs.  Henry 
Kransz  have  donated  an  automobile  to 
be  raffled  for  the  benefit  of  Saint  Gre- 
gory's church. 

Visitors. 

One  of  the  busy  visitors  in  the  mar- 
ket last  week  was  Max  Scheinuk,  of 
New  Orleans.  Mr.  Scheinuk  has  been  a 
buyer  in  this  market  for  nearly  a  dozen 
years.  Beginning  in  a  small  way,  he 
has  progressed  until  his  recent  pur- 
chases have  included  an  outfit  of  new 
store  fixtures  obtained  of  the  A.  L.  Ran- 
dall Co.  His  purpose  on  his  Visit  was 
to  buy  stock  for  the  new  store  and  for 
Christmas.  His  constant  companion 
was  a  copy  of  The  Review  in  which  he 
had  marked  the  places  and  things  he 
wanted  to  look  up  in  this  market. 

Swan  Peterson,  of  Decatur  and  Gib- 
son City,  was  in  town  November  10, 
buying  stock  for  his  flourishing  busi- 
ness.

Florence  L.  Gooch,  representing  Gen-

NEW  YORK. 


The  Market. 

The  long  expected  frost  materialized 
Saturday  night,  November  8,  and  was 
repeated  the  following  night,  so  that 
all  outdoor  unprotected  stock  is  finished, 
much  to  the  relief  of  the  growers  of 
stock  under  glass.  With  the  heavy  ar- 
rivals of  chrysanthemums,  outside  stock 
has  created  a  serious  handicap.  The 
market  opened  this  week  with  a  better 


tone,  but  there  is  not  much  snap  to  the 
buying.  Chrysanthemums,  of  course, 
dominate  the  market  and  will  continue 
to  do  so  for  some  weeks.  Fancy  varie- 
ties are  not  overplentiful,  but  there  is 
a  congestion  of  medium  and  low  grades, 
which  makes  clearances  at  remunera- 
tive prices  difficult.  Quantities  of  pom- 
pons and  singles  are  also  arriving  and 
move  but  slowly,  even  at  bargain  prices. 
Bonnaffon  and  other  midseason  sorts  are 
prominent  and  the  quality  of  them  is 
quite  good.

Forty  Large  Pages  of 
Florists'  Supplies 

Pittsburgh  Cut  Flower  Co.,  Pittsburgh,  Pa.— 
A  comprehensive  and  attractive  catalogue  or 
florists'  supplies;  forty  large  pages,  about  lOx 
13%  InchcB,  clearly  printed  on  a  good  quality 
of  enameled  paper,  well  Illustrated,  and  bound 
in  a  tasteful  and  substantial  gray  cover.  The 
assortments  offered  are  large  enough  to  afford  a 
wide  choice  In  such  requisites  as  baskets,  flower 
stands,  vases,  ribbons,  chiffons,  Christmas  spe- 
cialties, artificial  flowers,  wreaths,  wire  designs, 
etc.  The  company's  opinion  in  regard  to  the 
future  probabilities  in  the  prices  of  such  goods 
is  stated  thus:  "Do  not  hesitate  to  buy  at  pres- 
ent prices.  You  will  undoubtedly  save  money  by 
doing  so,  and  lose  money  if  you  delay." — Florists' 
Review,  November  6,  1919.

Mention  The  RcTiew  when  you  write. 


The  demand  for  roses  is  poor  and 
after  the  best  are  disposed  of  there  is  a 
large  surplus  and  bargain  hunters  are 
easily  accommodated.  American  Beau- 
ty is  in  good  supply  and  prices  are  any- 
thing but  steady.  Hybrid  teas  continue 
in  heavy  supply,  the  warm  weather  last 
week  bringing  the  cut  forward  fast. 

Carnations  are  plentiful  and  the  qual- 
ity is  still  poor;  consequently  much  of 
the  stock  arriving  ia  hard  to  move. 
While  the  varieties  Mrs.  C.  W.  Ward 
and  Benora  command  as  much  as  $3 
per  hundred  when  good,  $2  is  about 
top  for  the  best  of  the  general  run, 
with  inferior  stock  clearing  at  $1  or 
less. 

Cattleyas  are  not  plentiful,  and  prices 
continue  to  be  on  a  rather  high  scale, 
$1  per  flower  for  the  best  outside  of  the 
hybrids,  which  bring  as  much  as  $2,  A 
few  flowers  of  C.  Trianse  are  coming  in 
and  are  of  excellent  quality.  There  is 
a  small  supply  of  oncidiums  and  other 
spray  orchids,  which  move  nicely. 

Lilies  continue  scarce,  the  few  arriv- 
ing bringing  from  $30  to  $35  per  hun- 
dred and  even  more  for  extra  quality 
flowers.  Lily  of  the  valley  is  not  in  large 
supply,  but  there  is  quite  enough  to 
meet  the  demand  at  the  stiff  prices  now 
in  vogue,  $20  per  hundred  for  the  best 
grade,  down  to  $8  for  culls.  Rubrums 
are  in  plenty  and  the  demand  for  them 
is  fairly  good  at  $3  to  $5  per  hundred. 
Some  short-stemmed  gardenias  are  ar- 
riving daily  and  command  $3  to  $6  per 
dozen,  according  to  grade.  A  few  cal- 
las  are  seen  and  they  move  fairly  well 
at  $2  to  $3  per  dozen.  With  the  scar- 
city of  lilies,  callas  are  being  used  to 
some  extent  in  wedding  work. 

The  supply  of  sweet  peas  is  increas- 
ing and  arrivals  are  showing  some  im- 
provement in  quality;  about  $2.50  per 
hundred  sprays  is  the  top  figure  in  sales. 
Violets  are  abundant,  but  meet  only  a 
small  demand. 

Among  the  miscellaneous  offerings 
are  calendulas,  snapdragons.  Paper 
White  narcissi,  the  supply  of  which  is 
increasing,  and  lupines.  Paper  Whites 
sold  last  week  at  as  low  as  three  bunches 
for  $1.

THANKSGIVING  as  a  day  of  sentiment  and  prayer  is  where 
Cut  Flowers  should  testify  to  their  "FULL  MEANING." 

The  extra  needs  of  the  "OUT-OF-TOWN"  Retail  Florists 
are  taken  care  of  because  of  our  STRONG  POSITION  of 
handling  a  BIG  SHARE  of  the  Roses,  Carnations  and  Mutns 
that  are  grown  for  the  CHICAGO  MARKET. 

EARLY  ORDERS  make  our  acceptance  toward  their  ful-

For  Thanksgiving  Day 

we  expect  to  have  a  large 

SUPPLY  OF  GOOD  MUMS 

Our  growers  will  be  cutting  Chrysanthemums  in  quantity 
for  that  day.  We  will  be  very  strong  in  such  varieties  as 
Chadwick,  Bonnaffon  and  Seidewitz. 

POMPONS 

This  is  another  item  we  expect  to  have  in  quantity  and 
large  selection  of  varieties. 

CARNATIONS 

will  be  in  good  supply  and  you  can  depend  on  us  for  some 
very  good  stock. 

Thanksgiving  will  be  a  busy  day  this  year. and  you 
should  not  neglect  to  place  your  order  early. 


Boxwood 

We  are  now  booking  orders 
for  Boxwood  for  immediate 
and  later  delivery.  There 
was  a  shortage  last  year 
and  the  supply  will  not  be 
any  larger  this  season.  Make 
sure  of  your  requirements 
and  place  your  order  now. 

The  Boxwood  we  handle 
is  the  best.  We  sell  more 
of  it  every  year.  This  is 
the  best  indication  that  we 
have  the  right  kind  of  stock. 

Lycopodium 

The  supply  of  Lycopodium 
is  limited.  It  is  cleaned  and 
put  up  in  bunches.  You  will 
be  well  satisfied  with  our 
stock.

S.  B.  Wertheimer,  who  has  had  an

PHILADELPHIA. 


The  Market. 


The  week  o})cnod  badly.  There  was 
little  doing  either  on  Monday  or  on 
election  day.  Midweek  was  quiet,  but 
by  Friday  there  was  a  change  and  on 
Saturday  business  was  almost  brisk. 
Frost  has  cut  down  the  supply  of  out- 
door flowers,  wiping  out  dahlias  and 
cosmos  and  so  chilling  the  hardy  chrys- 
anthemums that  they  are  not  likely  to 
be  of  much  use. 

Clirysantliemums  arc  now  at  the 
height  of  their  season.  Some  fine  stock 
is  offered.  Well  grown  flowers  of  the 
large  .Japanese  varieties  continue  to  sell 
well  at  good  prices.  Ordinary  stock  is 
not  in  demand.  So  far  pompons  have 
had  few  friends. 

Good  roses  have  been  short  of  the  de- 
mand. The  growers  do  not  cut  many 
in  the  middle  of  the  chrysanthemum 
season  and  it  so  happens  that  they  are 
not  cutting  enough.  Still  there  are  plen- 
tv  of  other  flowers  to  use  instead.    Car-

nations,  for  example,  are  ini])roving  fast 
and  they  are  not  selling  at  all  well. 

The  few  really  nice  swe-.'t  peas  are 
also  dragging  just  now.  Orchids  are 
scarce.  By  this  is  meant  Cattleya 
labiata.  There  are  a  few  Percivaliana 
and  two  kinds  of  cypripediums.  Foli- 
age is  popular.  The  outlook  for  the 
balance  of  the  month  is  excellent. 

Cornelia  and  Bed  Janet. 

There  are  some  interesting  new  roses 
at  the  establishment  of  Eoljert  Scott 
&  Son,  at  Sharon  Hill.  Among  this 
season's  debutantes  is  Cornelia — Cor- 
nelia will  be  sent  out  next  spring.  It  is 
a  cross  between  Ojjhelia  and  Mrs.  Aaron 
Ward.  Cornelia  has  the  free,  sturdy 
growth  of  Ophelia  combined  with  the 
blooming  qualities  of  Ward.  The  flow- 
ers are  of  good  size.  Their  color  con- 
tains  the   color   characteristics   of   both 


parents.  Cornelia  is  a  great  producer. 
Both  the  1-year-old  and  the  2-year-old 
jdants  are  coming  right  along.  Cor- 
nelia is  the  sort  of  rose  to  win  the 
grower's  heart  at  sight. 

Red  .Janet  is  a  cross  between  Gloire 
de  Dijon  and  a  red  seedling.  It  is  a 
lovely  rose,  with  life  in  its  exquisite 
deep  pink  coloring.  Mr.  Scott  has  not 
yet  decided  whether  Eed  .Tanet  will 
have  a  coming-out   jiarty. 

The  New  BaUroom. 

There  is  a  new  ballroom  of  great 
magnificence  at  the  Hotel  Dupont  in 
Wilmington,  Del.  It  is  so  grand  that 
connoisseurs  say  that  New  York  and 
Philadelphia  have  nothing  to  compare 
with  it.  The  ballroom  was  formally 
opened  on  Friday  evening,  November 
7,  when  Mrs.  Francis  Whitten  gave  a 
dinner  dance  there.

There  were  twenty-fiVe  guests  at  the 
dinner,  which  was  arranged  on  a  cir- 
cular table,  hollow  in  the  center,  wherein 
was  a  flower  garden.  The  new  ballroom 
was  a  little  too  large  for  those  who, 
added  to  the  dinner  guests,  made  up 
Mrs.  Whitten's  party,  so  the  room  was 
made  smaller  by  using  a  balustrade  all 
the  way  around  the  room.  The  decora- 
tions were  of  handsome  chrysanthe- 
mums and  of  foliage.  They  were  taste- 
fully arranged  by  J.  J.  Habermehl's 
Sons,  of  this  city. 

The  Russell-Premier  Race. 

The  first  lap  of  the  race  between  the 
two  great  pink  roses,  Premier  and  Mrs. 
Charles  Eussell,  for  supremacy  and  the 
title  of  the  best  pink  rose  in  commerce, 
has  been  completed.  This  lap  extends 
from  the  beginning  of  summer,  when 
Premier  first  appeared  in  this  market, 
up  to  the  present  time,  and  does  not  in- 
clude any  of  the  cold  weather.  Premier 
started  well  under  skillful  cultivation 
and  made  a  decided  impression.  How- 
ever, the  staying  qualities  of  Russell 
under  all  conditions  have  proved  too 
much  for  the  western  favorite  and  to- 
day the  eastern  rose  is  unquestionably 
in  the  lead. 

The  cold  weather  period  of  the  race 
is  now  beginning.  It  will  be  watched 
with  keen  interest.

was  a  main  line  gardeners'  display  with 
a  few  notable  additions.  It  was  filled 
with  well  grown  plants  and  flowers. 
The  vegetables  were  shown  in  a  tent  in 
the  rear  of  the  hall.  The  arrangement 
was  effective.  The  view  on  entering 
was  exceedingly  pleasant.  There  were 
no  poor  exhibits.  Just  enough  foliage 
was  used  to  set  off  properly  the  really 
fine  chrysanthemums.  The  features 
were  the  14-incii  pot  plants  and  the 
sppcinion  blooms  of  chrysanthemums. 

The  W.  Atlee  Burpee  Co.  received  a 
silver  modal  for  a  beautiful  display  of 
dahlias  in  named  varieties,  arranged 
with  cat-tails  and  grasses,  an  exhibit 
that  would  have  been  impossible  two 
days  later. 

The  new  pink  sport  from  William 
Turner,  named  Mrs.  J.  Leslie  Davis,  was 
the  cut  flower  sensation  of  the  exhibi- 
tion. It  is  a  true  Turner  save  in  color, 
which  is  a  delicate  pink.  The  stock  has 
been  secured  by  Charles  H.  Totty.    The 


roses  came  on  the  second  day.  Among 
them  were  many  of  the  novelties — Cor- 
nelia and  the  noveltv  Red  Janet,  from 
Robert  Scott  &  Son,'  Sharon  Hill,  Pa.; 
Madame  Butterfly,  from  the  E.  G.  Hill 
Co.,  Richmond,  Ind.,  and  Crusader  and 
Pilgrim,  from  the  A.  N.  Pierson  Co., 
Cromwell,  Conn.,  were  all  admired. 
Adolph  Muller  put  up  two  fine  groups 
of  evergreens  in  tubs.  Among  the  car- 
nations. Laddie  and  Mrs.  C.  W.  Ward 
wore  i^articularly  well  grown.

White  Killarney,  Prima  Donna,  Mary- 
land and  Ophelia,  a  selection  that  af- 
fords a  good  range  of  color.  The  plants 
are  grown  in  ground  beds.  They  are  In 
excellent  condition.  The  place  is  neat

movement  on  foot,  as  the  time  draws 
near,  to  encourage  the  use  of  all  kinds 
of  flowers  and  plants  on  Mothers'  day 
instead  of  carnations  alone,  as  is  now 
the  prevailing  custom.  In  some  cities, 
that  day  is  equal  to  Easter  day  in  its 
effect  on  the  demand.

grower  of  Belfast,  Ireland,  has  several 
new  roses  of  great  merit  and  others  will 
soon  be  brought  out.  This  firm  won 
premier  position  for  its  collection  of  pot 
roses  thirty-six  feet  in  circumference. 
Dickson's  nurseries  at  Chester,  Eng- 
land, were  also  visited.  Everything 
there  shows  the  effect  of  suffering  for 
lack  of  help.  The  work  is  now  being 
done  by  women  and  inexperienced  help. 
There  is  a  large  amount  of  glass  and 
prior  to  the  war  this  was  one  of  the 
best  kept  places  in  Great  Britain.  This 
firm  has  a  wonderful  collection  of  dah- 
lias. 

Mr.  McManmon  visited  the  Kew  gar« 
dens  and  states  that  there  they  have 
the  largest  and  finest  house  devoted  to 
palms  that  he  ever  saw,  also  a  mag- 
nificent collection  of  tropical  plants  of 
every  description. 

Food  is  exceedingly  scarce  and  high 
in  price.  Apples  are  selling  as  high  as 
sixpence  (12  cents)  each  and  green- 
house-grown tomatoes  are  one  shilling 
(24    cents)     at    wholesale    and    find    a 


ready  sale.  Mr.  McManmon  says  that 
the  Irish  disturbances  as  reported  in 
America  are  much  magnified.  There  is 
plenty  of  food  in  Ireland  and  that  coun- 
try is  prosperous. 

Mr.  McManmon  is  glad  to  be  home 
again  and  expresses  Ids  gratification  at 
finding  everything  connected  with  his 
business  here  in  satisfactory  condition. 

Various  Notes. 

William  J.  Collins,  of  Gorham  street, 
had  a  fine  lot  of  single  and  pompon 
mums,  also  greenhouse-grown  cosmos  in 
pink  and  white.  He  has  had  several 
funeral  orders. 

At  the  opening  November  1  of  the 
large  and  finely  equipped  Saunders  Mar- 
ket, an  orchestra  of  six  pieces  played 
amid  a  bower  of  palms  and  ferns  sup- 
plied by  Morse  &  Beals.  About  thirty 
baskets  and  bouquets  were  presented  by 
prominent  tradesmen.  Small  mums  and 
carnations  predominated. 

Morse  &  Beals  had  a  fine  lot  of 
Boiiiiaffon    chrysanthemums    last   week. 


which  sold  quickly.     This  firm  is  hav- 
ing considerable  funeral  work. 

There  was  an  old-time  "huskin'  bee" 
November  6  in  the  barn  on  the  seed 
farm  of  J.  J.  McManmon.  The  barn 
and  four  of  his  conveyances  had  been 
kindly  lent  for  the  occasion.  There 
were  over  200  guests  searching  for  red 
ears.  The  affair  was  engineered  by 
M.  Pilotte,  of  J.  J.  McManmon 's  store, 
and  J.  Melonson,  one  of  the  teamsters 
at  the  farm.  E.  E.  R.

For  Quality  and  Good  Service,  try  us. 


Any  florist  who  has  or  can  control  a 
site  suitable  for  the  display  of  one  of 
these  boards  is  urged  to  place  an  order 
for  one  at  once.  Besides  helping  the 
campaign,  he  will  be  helping  himself,  for 
he  will  be  permitted,  should  he  so  de- 
sire, to  hang  a  supplementary  sign  be- 
neath the  regulation  billboard,  calling 
attention  to  his  own  establishment. 

Its  Description. 

The  sign  is  7%x20  feet.  It  is  con- 
structed of  26-gauge  galvanized  iron  on 
wood  frame  and  is  shipped  in  four  5-foot 
sections,  with  face  bands.  The  board 
weighs  approximately  275  pounds.  The 
slogan  is  painted  to  conform  in  design 
and  color  to  the  regular  glass  and  trans- 
fer signs  supplied  by  our  promotion  bu- 
reau. Three  coats  of  paint  are  used, 
with  one  coat  of  heavy  outside  wearing 
varnish  applied  after  the  last  coat  of 
paint  is  dry.  The  back  of  the  board  is 
painted  with  one  coat  of  pure  oil  black. 
The  wooden  supports  are  not  supplied, 
but  they  are  of  a  nature  to  be  easily  pro- 
cured locally.  A  blue-print,  or  drawing, 
detailing  the  construction  and  method  of 
setting  up  is  furnished  with  each  bill- 
board. A  sign  should  remain  in  good 
condition  for  many  years. 

Everyone  Can  Show  It. 

Without  doubt,  a  large  number  of 
florists  will  wish  to  take  advantage  of 
this  opportunity  to  bring  our  industry 
prominently  before  the  public.  As  has 
been  pointed  out  frequenth',  the  florists 
are  fortunate  in  that  so  many  of  them 
are  provided  with  sites  that  cost  them 
practically  nothing  for  a  display  of  this 
kind — along  much  traveled  highways, 
railroad  tracks,  against  potting  sheds 
and  outbuildings  which  are  in  public 
view,  and  often  in  cities  on  tops  of 
buildings,  in  connection  with  their  store

buildings,  or  on  adjacent  vacant  lots.  If 
a  small  body  of  men  could  extempora- 
neously, as  at  the  meeting  in  Buffalo, 
offer  to  take  eighty-seven  billboards  to 
cover  so  many  sites,  how  many  locations 
must  be  generally  available?  The  pub- 
licity committee  is  confident  that  or- 
ders will  quickly  be  forthcoming  which 
will  insure  the  erection  and  display  of 
1,000  billboards.  The  price  is  a  mere 
bagatelle  when  the  value  of  the  material 
and  service  is  considered.  There  is  much 
to  be  said  in  favor  of  outdoor  publicity, 
especially  when  applicable  to  the  sub- 
ject of  our  campaign.  One  thing  is  cer- 
tain— never  was  so  inexpensive  an  op- 
portunity for  helpful  and  direct  public- 
ity presented  as  that  before  the  flo- 
rists. The  secretary  would  be  pleased 
to  hear  from  all  those  who  can  take  ad- 
vantage of  the  offer  here  made.  Simply 
send  in  the  order  for  a  sign,  accompanied 
by  a  check  for  $50,  and  the  sign  will  "be 
promptly  delivered  at  any  designated 
railroad  station. 

Singing  Our  Slogan. 

The  value  of  our  slogan,  "Say  It  with 
Flowers,"  has  been  recognized  in  a  di- 
rection quite  apart  from  the  course  of 
our  campaign.  Just  as  the  writers  of 
fiction  and  sentimental  prose  are  fre- 
quently using  it  in  their  work  when  they 
wish  to  convey  a  thought  as  to  an  easy 
method  of  expressing  feeling,  the  song 
writers  have  seized  upon  the  line  as  a 
title  for  a  song.    All  who  were  at  the

Detroit  convention  had  the  pleasure  of 
hearing  one  such  song,  but  it  does  not 
seem  to  have  got  into  the  realm  of  pub- 
licity. Now  a  prominent  song  publisher 
of  New  York  is  introducing  to  the  public 
a  similar  song  of  great  merit  in  fox  trot 
measure  and  is  employing  singers  of  high 
order  to  exploit  it.  The  first  use  of  it 
was  in  Detroit  last  week.  Harry  Breit- 
meyer,  of  John  Breitmeyer's  Sons, 
writes  the  secretary  as  follows  in  regard 
to  it:  "This  week  Miss  Grace  LaRue  is 
featuring  the  song  at  our  Temple  thea- 
ter. The  Detroit  florists  have  each  taken 
one  day  to  send  Miss  LaRue  flowers,  as 
well  as  to  place  vases  of  flowers  in  the 
theater  lobbies.  I  assure  you  it  has 
made  a  hit  with  theater-goers,  and  'Say 
It  with  Flowers'  is  the  talk  of  the  pub- 
lic. The  song  is  a  wonder.  If  New 
York  and  other  cities  have  the  oppor- 
tunity to  receive  these  benefits  I  would 
recommend  your  hearty  cooperation." 
It  is  understood  that  the  song  is  to  be 
a  feature  in  the  prominent  theaters  of 
Chicago,  Cleveland,  Cincinnati  and  other 
large  cities  upon  the  circuits  of  the 
singers,  with  suitable  stage  settings,  and 
it  is  expected  that  phonograph  records 
of  it,  carrying  the  voice  of  a  leading 
concert  artist,  will  shortly  be  available. 
Wherever  the  song  is  to  be  featured,  the 
florists  situated  locally  are  urged  to 
cooperate  with  the  theater  management 
in  the  making  of  an  appropriate  floral 
setting.  It  is  also  suggested  that  spe- 
cial window  trims  in  the  florists'  stores

CO-OPEEATIVE  ADVERTISING. 


Most  Modem  Tjrpe  of  Publicity. 

During  the  last  few  years  there  has 
sprung  up  a  new  type  of  publicity, 
namely,  cooperative  advertising.  This 
surely  has  justified  its  development  by 
the  number  of  campaigns  in  varied  lines 
of  industry.  And  as  nothing  succeeds 
like  success,  we  must  grant  the  fact, 
in  view  of  the  number  of  cooperative 
advertising  campaigns  we  have  observed 
lately,  that  unless  they  were  successful 
they  would  not  continue  to  multiply. 
Hence  this  article. 

Florists  have  generally  been  called 
progressive  and  will  readily  admit, 
therefore,  that  what  is  worthy  for  other 
lines  is  also  good  for  flowers.  How  well 
we  have  succeeded  is  left  to  your  own 
judgment.  Our  slogan.  "Say  It  with 
Flowers,"  has  created  ifor  itself  an  en- 
vied reputation  and  one  that  we  are  all 
proud  of,  particularly  when  we  take  into 
consideration  the  small  appropriation 
we  have  had  to  work  with.  Imagine 
the  future  in  store  for  us  when  24,000 
florists  throughout  the  United  States  and

Canada  realize  the  slogan's  possibilities 
and  back  it  up  liberally  with  dollars,  in 
order  to  carry  on  a  campaign  that  will 
accord  with  the  position  to  which  flow- 
ers are  entitled. 

If  Each  Would  Do  His  Share. 

There  are  many  who  have  contributed 
to  our  campaign,  but  there  are  far  too 
many,  also,  who  have  overlooked  their 
duty  in  the  matter,  and  it  is  to  this 
body  that  the  following  few  lines  will 
not  be  amiss. 

Do  you  feel  justified  in  having  your 
neighbor  subscribe  to  a  fund  for  the 
development  of  a  more  general  use  of 
flowers,  which  will  help  all  florists,  from 
the  grower  down  to  the  retailer,  while 
you  sit  back  and  neglect  to  do  your 
share? 

Do  you  appreciate  that  the  Society 
of  American  Florists  is  back  of  this 
movement  for  the  sole  purpose  of  a  wider 
distribution  of  flowers  generally,  that 
the  task  could  be  made  comparatively 
easy  if  you  would  do  your  share  in  the 
general  expense,  that  for  every  dollar 
given  ten  will  be  returned  in  more  ways 
than  one,  and  that  by  more  publicity, 
more  desire  for  flowers  must  be  the 
ultimate  outcome?     Will  vou  refuse  to

share  in  the  increased  demand  thus 
created?  Or,  perhaps,  you  are  waiting 
to  be  asked  for  your  contribution. 

Cash  and  Encouragement. 

Why  wait,  when  you  can  send  it  to 
Secretary  John  Young's  office  and  per- 
haps add  a  note  of  appreciation  with  it, 
as  many  have  done,  to  show  the  effect 
the  campaign  has  already  had  in  your 
business  the  last  two  years?  The  pub- 
licity-finance and  publicity  committees 
jointly  have  labored  well,  and  an  expres- 
sion of  good  will  with  a  check  enclosed 
is  about  the  best  kind  of  recommenda- 
tion and  keeps  the  enthusiasm  working, 
so  that  the  campaign  will  keep  up  its 
effectiveness  to  the  end  that  all  may 
enjoy  the  benefits  to  the  full.  But  in 
order  to  do  this  we  need  the  balance  of 
the  fund.  Our  goal  is  $100,000.  Will 
you  help  to  get  the  amount  and  share 
in  its  fruits,  remembering  that  you  are 
not  only  helping  yourself  but  are  also 
putting  the  most  desirable  of  all  prod- 
ucts, flowers,  constantly  before  the 
minds  of  millions  of  people  who  rarely 
see  a  flower  shop  or  a  greenhouse? 

Don't  forget  that  there  are  many 
people  who  journey  from  house  to  store 
and  from  store  to  house  and  never  have 
the  chance  of  looking  at  flowers  from 
November  to  June,  but  who  might  be 
tempted  to  be  flower-lovers  were  they 
reminded  of  them  enough.  That  is  our 
job — not  to  allow  them  to  forget.  Will 
you  justify  the  means?  If  so,  your 
check  is  the  answer.  Henry  Penn,

The  Market. 

Business  revived  considerably  during 
the  final  days  of  last  week,  the  week-end 
calling  quantities  of  chrysanthemums 
into  requisition  for  the  inauguration  of 
the  football  season.  Otherwise  the  mar- 
ket has  remained  comparatively  quiet, 
with  prices  in  accordance.  Flowers  of 
all  varieties  continue  to  come  in  plenti- 
fully, American  Beauties  and  carnations 
being  almost  as  much  in  evidence  as  the 
more  generally  accepted  flowers  of  au- 
tumn. 

Autunm  Exhibitions. 

The  last  ten  days  have  seen  two  of 
the  most  successful  autumn  flower  shows 
in  the  history  of  the  Schenley  and  West 
park  Phipps  conservatories,  under  the 
regime  of  Superintendent  George  W. 
Burke.  Foreman  John  W.  Jones,  of 
Schenley  park,  utilized  the  two  wings 
and  the  economic  room  of  the  conserva- 
tory proper,  while  the  display  of  James 
Moore,  of  the  West  park  conservatory, 
called  three  show  rooms  into  requisition

Gloire  de  Lorraine  begonias.  The  north 
side  show  was  supplemented  by  the 
third  annual  exhibition  of  the  Pitts- 
burgh Aquarium  Society,  of  which  Mr. 
King,  of  the  A.  W.  Smith  Co.,  is  a  mem- 
ber. This  firm  had  three  of  the  100 
tanks  of  rare  fish  in  the  exhibit. 

The  annual  exhibition  of  the  Horti- 
cultural Society  of  Sewickley,  in  the 
high  school  pavilion,  was  the  most  sue- 
cessful  of  any  given  since  the  organiza- 
tion of  the  society  a  few  years  ago. 
Carl  Becherer,  formerly  president  of  the 
Pittsburgh  Florists'  and  Gardeners'

formed  the  committee  of  judges.

the  pit.  The  residence  on  the  farm  is 
occupied  by  Mr.  James'  son,  Herbert 
B.  James,  an  electrician.  Although  the 
former  has  150  palms  and  2,000  ferns  in 
stock  for  the  use  of  the  William  Penn 
and  Fort  Pitt  hotels,  he  is  endeavoring 
to  get  another  carload  of  foliaged  plants 
from  the  Exotic  Nurseries,  Santa  Bar- 
bary,  Cal.,  which  he  patronized  largely 
last  spring.  This  stock  is  now  in  splen- 
did condition  and  Mr.  James  says  he 
considers  the  California  stock  alto- 
gether superior  to  the  imported  trees. 
E.  S.  James'  brother,  Arthur  James, 
who  is  having  exceptional  success  with 
his  range  near  Oneco,  Fla.,  expects  to 
return  to  Pittsburgh  in  the  early  spring 
to  take  orders  for  crotons.  On  his  forty 
acres  of  ground  he  is  growing  also  rub- 
ber plants,  orange  trees  and  ferns,  hav- 
ing of  course  abandoned  the  castor 
beans  contracted  for  by  the  government 
during  the  war. 

Thomas  Silverblatt,  proprietor  of  the 
flower  shop  in  the  corridor  of  the  Wil- 
liam Penn  hotel,  has  returned  to  busi- 
ness following  a  ten  days'  detention  at 
home  on  account  of  illness.  Meanwhile 
the  store  was  in  charge  of  his  brother 
and  his  assistant,  Louis  Silverblatt  and 
Benjamin  Foreman,  respectively.

The  Market. 

The  last  week  has  shown  a  marked 
change  in  business.  There  have  been 
several  light  frosts,  which  have  practi- 
cally put  an  end  to  outdoor  stock,  and 
the  cooler  weather  has  acted  as  a 
stimulant  to  the  sale  of  cut  flowers. 
The  situation  created  by  the  street  ear 
strike,  which  has  existed  for  the  last 
three  weeks,  has  improved  somewhat 
and  cars  are  again  in  operation.  Fu- 
neral work  has  been  heavy.  There  were 
several  weddings  of  unusual  importance

and  the  sale  of  miscellaneous  cut  flow- 
ers has  shown  a  great  improvement  over 
any  previous  week  in  the  season. 

The  chrysanthemum  crop  is  now  at  its 
height  and  some  especially  fine  blooms 
are  in  evidence,  also  some  choice  pom- 
pons. The  cut  of  carnations  is  getting 
heavier  every  day  and  with  the  coming 
of  cooler  weather  the  quality  is  greatly 
improved.  The  rose  crop  is  rather  short 
at  this  time;  the  stock  is  being  cut  back 
for  Christmas  and  there  is  a  general 
shortage.  There  is  a  fair  crop  of  or- 
chids and  the  demand  for  them  is  good. 
There  are  still  a  few  good  dahlias,  which

The  Market. 

Busines.s  has  been  unusually  good  for 
the  last  few  weeks.  Stock  has  been 
plentiful,  owing  to  favorable  weather 
conditions. 

Chrysanthemums  are  at  their  best 
now,  and  the  later  varieties,  such  as 
Major  Bonnaffon,  Odessa,  Tekonsha,  Dr. 
Enguehard  and  the  Chadwicks,  are  ar- 
riving in  great  abundance.  Pompons 
are  also  ])IiMitifiil. 

Hoses  of  fine  quality  sold  at  prices 
ranging  from  .$3  to  $6  per  hundred.  Es- 
pecially fine  Premier,  Russell,  Columbia 
and  Ophelia  brought  excellent  prices 
and  were  in  great  demand.  Carnations 
were  also  plentiful,  but  were  not  as  yet 
at  their  best  in  length  of  stem;  conse- 
quently their  prices  were  low.  There  is 
a  good  demand  for  Paper  Whites  and 
sweet  peas.  Orchids  continue  scarce.  A 
few  dahlias  are  coming  in,  but  the  trade 
seems  to  have  tired  of  them.  Calendu-

cidedly  popular.  In  plants,  cyclamens, 
primroses  and  potted  chrysanthemums 
take  the  lead. 

Funeral  work  was  heavy  all  the  week. 
Several  big  receptions,  weddings  and 
banquets  made  a  good  demand  for  the 
best  of  flowers  that  were  in  season. 
There  were  some  unusual  and  striking 
window  displays. 

Various  Notes. 

Last  week  the  Flick  Floral  Co.  had 
one  of  the  largest  society  weddings  of 
the  season,  at  the  home  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
A.  Z.  Pohlamus,  the  uncle  and  aunt  of 
the  bride,  Miss  Gladys  Walker,  of  Grand 
Rapids,  Mich.  Oak  foliage  and  southern 
smilax  were  used,  with  an  abundance  of 
chrysanthemums.  On  the  bride's  table 
an  electric  fountain  filled  with  pompon 
chrysanthemums  was  used  effectively, 
with  oak  foliage  around  the  outer  edge 
of  the  fountain.  Many  palms  and  ferns 
were  also  used  in  this  decoration. 
Hampers  of  Ophelia,  Premier  and  Rus- 
sell roses  were  used  in  profusion.  The 
bride's  bouquet  was  composed  of  lilies 
of  the  valley  and  Dendrobium  formosum 
in  shower  effect.  The  bridesmaid's 
bouquet  was  of  orchid-tinted  chrysan- 
themums tied  with  orchid-color  chiffon.

Tlie  Market. 


This  market  was  cleaned  up  every 
day  last  week.  Cloudy  weather  has 
been  80  prevalent  the  last  month  that 
stock  Las  shortened  considerably.  Eoses 
are  oflf  crop  and  are  bringing  from  $4 
to  $15.  Carnations  are  scarce  at  $5  and 
$6.  Mums  are  more  plentiful,  but  have 
not  reached  the  height  of  their  season. 
They  are  from  $2  to  $4.  Pompons  are 
good  at  50  and  75  cents  a  bunch. 

Various  Notes. 

Boyd's  Greenhouse  had  1,000  pots  of 
large  Caprice  mums  last  week,  of  such 
uniform  height  that  they  made  almost 
a  level  surface  when  massed.  They  also 
have  2,000  cinerarias  in  5-inch  pots, 
1,000  in  4-inch  pots  and  almost  the  same 
number  of  smaller  plants,  all  in  fine 
shape. 

The  Humfeld-Orear  Floral  Co.  is  con- 
gratulating itself  on  its  desirable  loca- 
tion. Thirty-first  street  and  Troost  av- 
enue is  one  of  the  best  outside  business 
corners  in  the  city.  It  is  a  transfer 
point  and  practically  every  line  of  retail 
business  is  represented  within  a  radius 
of  two  blocks  in  four  directions  and 
there  are  family  hotels  and  apartments 
without  number  in  the  neighborhood. 

Ed  A.  Humfeld  expects  to  move  into 
his  new  retail  store  about  November  15. 
Some  finishing  work  remains  to  be  done, 
but  the  store  is  in  shape  for  business. 
Mr.  Humfeld  desired  a  new  icebox,  but 
the  kind  he  wanted  could  not  be  deliv- 
ered for  six  months,  so  he  moved  the 
one  from  the  old  store  and  believes  it 
will  answer  the  purpose  well  for  a 
while. 

The  Muehlebach  Flower  Shop  had  a 
decoration  every  day  last  week,  aside 
from  several  special  affairs  in  the  hotel. 
In  addition  to  other  business,  thirty 
corsages  were  sold  Friday,  November  7. 

Tucker  Smith,  president  of  the  Pine- 
hurst  Floral  Co.,  was  in  the  city  Tues- 
day, November  4. 

W.  J.  Flint,  Eichmond,  Mo.,  and  L.  H. 
Archias,  Sedalia,  Mo.,  were  visitors  last 
week. 

T.  J.  Noll  &  Co.  are  receiving  some 
excellent  mums  from  Longview  Farm. 

Mrs.  J.  H.  Boyd  has  returned  from  the 
hospital  after  an  operation. 

J.  Austin  is  supplying  a  large  part  of 
his  trade  from  his  own  greenhouses. 

A.  F.  Barbe's  carnations  have  about 
reached  perfection  and  he  is  selling  the 
blooms  as  fast  as  he  can  cut  them.

The  Market. 


There  was  not  so  much  business  for 
All  Saints'  day  this  year  as  there  was 
in  former  years,  chiefly  because  it 
rained  so  much  the  week  before  and 
up  to  All  Saints'  day.  Since  then  there 
has  been  little  social  activity.  Funerals 
are  few.  Outdoor  flowers,  especially 
dahlias,  were  plentiful  up  to  November 
4,  when  we  had  our  first  freezing  weath- 
er. Boses  and  carnations  are  in  good 
supply  and  chrysanthemums  are  almost 
a  glut.

ST.  LOUIS,  MO. 


The  Market. 

The  local  wholesale  market  was  in 
about  the  same  condition  last  week  as 
in  the  week  previous,  crowded  to  the 
utmost  with  all  seasonable  cut  stock 
and  especially  mums.  While  there  was 
a  glut,  it  was  not  in  the  fancy  grades, 
as  these  always  have  a  demand.  In 
these  grades  there  was  a  scarcity  in 
yellow  mums,  while  whites  were  plen- 
tiful, with  all  of  the  early  varieties 
nearly  cut  out.  This  week's  receipts 
should  show  some  cut  flowers  of  Ivory, 
Major  Bonnaffon,  Appleton,  Chadwick 
and  Golden  Wedding,  the  last  two  being 
always  good  sellers  in  this  market. 

Mums,  of  course,  have  the  call  over 
other  stock.  Eoses  and  carnations  in 
the  fancy  grades  sell  well,  but  the  sup- 
ply of  these  is  large,  with  the  bulk  of 
them  in  the  lower  grades,  and,  in  order 
to  dispose  of  them,  prices  had  to  be  cut 
away  below  quotations.  Premier,  Rus- 
sell and  Ophelia  have  the  best  demand. 

Carnations  are  arriving  fine  in  flower 
with  short  stems;  good  long  fancies  are 
not  as  yet  plentiful.  The  top  price  last 
week  was  $3  per  hundred.  This  is  low 
when     compared     with     last     season 

Among  the  arrivals  last  week  were 
some  excellent  sweet  peas  from  our  local 
growers  and  also  fine  Paper  Whites. 
Violets  are  showing  better  color  and 
are  in  fair  demand  at  50  cents  and  75 
cents  per  hundred.  All  outdoor  stock 
is  over  for  this  season.  The  demand 
for  valley,  Easter  lilies  and  orchids  is 
large,  but  the  supply  continues  small. 

AH  greens,  as  usual,  clean  up  well 
daily.  Long  asparagus  and  smilax  lead 
in  the  demand.

After  the  opening  routine  business

Secretary  Schaflf  then  read  a  program 
of  discussions  scheduled  for  each 
monthly  meeting  up  to  May,  which 
should  make  exceedingly  interesting 
winter  meetings  for  the  members.  The

County  Growers  Met. 

The  St.  Louis  County  Growers'  Asso- 
ciation met  Wednesday  evening,  No- 
vember 5,  at  Eleven  Mile  House.  The 
proceedings  throughout  the  evening 
were  of  great  interest.  There  was  a 
general  discussion  on  production  of 
mums,  roses  and  carnations,  of  which 
at  present  the  receipts  are  much  larger 
than  the  demand,  with  prices  not  to  be 
compared  with  those  of  last  year  at  this 
time.

Various  Notes. 

J.  F.  Ammann,  president  of  the  S.  A. 
F.,  regrets  greatly  that  he  is  not  able 
to  attend  the  Florists'  Club  meeting 
this  week,  as  he  will  be  at  Des  Moines, 


la.,  and  Indianapolis,  Ind.,  all  of  this 
week.  Mr.  Ammann  is  armed  with  a 
full  report  on  results  of  the  recent  F. 
T.  D.  meeting  at  Buffalo. 

William  Seeger,  until  recently  with 
the  Mullanphy  Florists,  left  with  his 
family  last  week  for  Asheville,  N.  C, 
where  they  will  make  their  future  home. 
Mr.  Seeger 's  many  friends  in  the  trade 
wish  him  well  in  the  future.

Grimm  &  Gorly  and  the  MuUanphy 
Florists,  two  of  the  large  downtown  re- 
tailers, featured  mum  displays  in  their 
big  show  windows  daily  last  week. 
Both  say  that  trade  has  now  become 
steady  and  there  is  daily  a  good  call 
for  fancy  stock  in  everything  season- 
able. 

The  mum  show  now  in  progress  at  the 
municipal  greenhouses  in  Forest  park 
was  arranged  by  and  under  the  super- 
vision of  John  Moritz.  The  arrange- 
ment shows  excellent  judgment  and  the 
quality  of  the  plants,  including  those 
grown  for  cut  flowers,  is  of  the  best  seen 
here  in  years. 

Eugene  Grimm,  head  of  the  Grimm- 
Lambach  Artificial  Flowers  Co.  and  a 
cousin  of  Frank  and  Vincent  Gorly,  of 
Grimm  &  Gorly,  who  has  many  friends 
in  the  trade,  was  married  last  week  to 
Miss  Loretta  Ziebold,  of  Waterloo,  111. 
The  couple  departed  for  a  honeymoon 
trip  to  New  York  and  will  return  De- 
cember 1. 

The  Diemer  Floral  Co.  and  Mrs.  Oscar 
Heile,  South  Broadway  florists,  had  a 
good  run  of  business  last  week,  in  which 
funeral  work  played  a  big  part. 

The  School  of  Gardening  of  the  Mis- 
souri Botanical  Garden  reopened  and 
scholarships  were  awarded  to  James 
Monteith  and  Miss  Virginia  McMath, 
of  St.  Louis,  and  to  Eobert  Mitchell,  of 
Gotha,  Fla.  In  accordance  with  the 
will  of  Henry  Shaw,  the  St.  Louis  Flo- 
rists' Club  should  have  awarded  one  of 
these  scholarships,  but  since  the  de- 
parture of  Prof.  Trelease  this  has  been 
taken  out  of  the  club's  hands  by  the 
new  director. 

The  new  Arcadia  building,  at  Eighth 
and  Olive  streets,  will  be  completed  by 
the  end  of  this  month  and  a  first-

Foster.  The  opening  day  is  expected  to 
be  Thanksgiving  day. 

This  week  Vernon  Steiles  will  appear 
at  the  Orpheum  theater  and  sing  his 
famous  song,  "Say  It  with  Flowers," 
and  the  local  florists  should  derive  great 
publicity  through  this.  They  are  pre- 
paring to  shower  the  star  each  night 
with  flowers  at  the  end  of  the  song. 

C.  Richardson,  Union  Market,  put  in 
a  busy  week  with  large  designs  for 
funerals.  The  artistic  arrangement  of 
the  several  large  pieces  gives  great 
credit  to  Miss  M.  Richardson,  the  de- 
signer here. 

A  visit  to  the  greenhouses  of  Eli 
Mieux,  at  Carlyle,  111.,  November  6, 
found  Mr.  Mieux  busy  and  showed  an 


excellent  crop  of  cut  mums  and  a  fine 
house  of  5-inch  and  6-inch  Boston  ferns. 
He  has  been  here  only  three  years  and 
has  established  a  large  trade.  He  is 
building  a  show  house  in  the  front.  He 
also  reports  a  visit  a  few  weeks  ago  of 
the  stork,  which  left  a  fine  baby  boy, 
who  will  be  known  as  Joseph  Mieux. 

Mr.  Adler,  of  New  York,  called  on  the 
trade  last  week  to  interest  them  in  his 
corsage  pins  and  novelties. 

The  bowlers  got  at  each  other  again

them  three  games.  Captain  Windier 's

"Say  It  with  Flowers"  Week. 

One  of  the  most  interesting  and  at- 
tractive features  of  the  "Say  It  with 
Flowers ' '  campaign  was  the  many  deco- 
rations and  window  displays  of  the 
florists'  shops.  A  window  display  that 
attracted  large  crowds  and  received 
much  comment  from  the  trade  aa  well 
as  from  the  public  in  general  was  that 
of  Z.  D.  Blackistone.  It  is  said  that  it 
was  one  of  the  best  displays  of  this  na- 
ture that  have  ever  been  exhibited  in 
this  city.  It  was  a  miniature  wedding 
party,  which  included  every  feature  of 
a  real  ceremony.  The  surrounding  space 
was  decorated  with  some  fine  specimens 
of  chrysanthemums  and  green  foliage. 
Even  during  the  quiet  hours  of  the  day, 
many  people  were  on  hand  to  view  the 
unusual  display.  At  night  it  was  lighted 
with  fancy  lanterns,  which  added  much 
beauty  to  the  scene.  The  work  was 
done  under  Mr.  Blackistone 's  personal 
supervision  and  it  showed  every  sign 
of  good  judgment. 

Another  window  display  in  which 
he  public  showed  great  interest  was 
[hat  of  George  C.  Shaffer.  It  was  a 
wedding  display  of  life  size  and  the 
bride  carried  a  large  bouquet  of  selected 
flowers.  The  display  lacked  nothing 
which  would  give  it  the  appearance  of 
a  real  wedding  party.  It  was  highly 
spoken  of  by  members  of  the  trade  as 
well  as   by  the  public.

day  of  the  "Say  It  with  Flowers"  week. 
The  flowers  were  tied  up  and  each  bunch 
bore  a  "Say  It  with  Flowers"  card,  so 
that  this  message  would  be  spread  over 
the  entire  city.  After  dropping  flowers 
on  Pennsylvania  avenue,  one  of  the  Cur- 
tiss  Oriole  planes,  in  which  Z.  D.  Blacki- 
stone  was  a  passenger,  developed  en- 
gine trouble  and  fell  several  hundred 
feet.  The  plane  was  damaged  in  land- 
ing, but  Mr.  Blackistone  and  the  aviator 
were  uninjured. 

The  local  florists  enjoyed  a  week  of 
giving.    They  sent  baskets  of  flowers  to 


all  of  the  hospitals,  the  orphanages, 
homes  for  the  aged  and  other  shelters 
for  the  unfortunates. 

Thursday,  November  6,  the  local  flo- 
rists donated  enough  to  the  Red  Cross  to 
give  every  person  who  joined  on  that 
day  a  pretty  bouquet.  Flower  stands 
were  set  up  in  the  main  headquarters  of 
the  Red  Cross  for  this  purpose. 

Friday,  November  7,  the  synagogues 
of  Washington  received  special  contri- 
butions of  flowers. 

Saturday  was  Merchants'  day  and  the 
large  retail  and   department   stores  re- 


ceived baskets  of  flowers  to  be  placed 
in  their  windows  over  Sunday.  More 
than  100,000  blooms  have  been  gifren 
out  by  the  florists  during  the  "Say  It 
with  Flowers"  week. 

The  Evening  Star  Newspaper  Co.  re- 
ceived a  gift  of  flowers  from  the  florists 
in  appreciation  of  the  help  extended  in 
advertising  the  campaign.  Editors  of 
the  other  local  newspapers  were  recipi- 
ents of  similar  gifts. 

A  particularly  fine  bouquet  was  pre- 
sented to  Mrs.  Woodrow  Wilson  by  the

Various  Notes. 

The  Louise  Flower  Shop  has  booked  a 
number  of  important  weddings  for  this 
month.  It  has  been  doing  a  large 
amount  of  decorating  work.  Sam  Mas- 
ton  is  with  this  firm;  before  serving  in 
France  he  was  with  George  Shaffer. 

Fred  Leapley  has  a  quantity  of  im- 
portant work  on  hand,  including  several 
large  weddings.  G.  V.  S. 


BOSTON. 

The  Market. 


Last  week  was  a  most  depressing  one 
climatically,  with  only  one  partly  clear 
day  at  its  close.  This  had  an  adverse 
effect  on  business,  which  proved  to  be 
quite  poor  until  November  8,  when  it 
braced  up  encouragingly.  November  10 
and  11  the  market  had  an  improved  tone, 
due  in  considerable  measure  to  the  "Say 
It  with  Flowers"  campaign  being  waged 
by  all  local  florists  during  the  present 
week. 

Eoses,  which  have  been  selling  at  low 
prices  of  late,  have  now  advanced  and, 
with  the  gradual  passing  of  the  chrys- 
anthemum wave,  will  do  better.  Ar- 
rivals are  considerably  reduced,  owing 
to  the  colder  and  less  sunny  weather  ex- 
perienced. The  newer  varieties  continue 
to  have  first  call,  with  Columbia, 
Premier,  Hadley  and  Ophelia  in  especial 
favor.  American  Beauties  are  less 
plentiful  and  move  better.  Carnations, 
which  sold  low  most  of  last  week,  im- 
proved November  8  under  the  impetus 
of  heavy  buying  from  another  city. 
Only  a  fractional  part  of  the  violets 
seen  in  former  years  are  arriving. 
Growers  are  dropping  them  for  other 
crops  and  those  who  still  retain  them  are 
getting  only  a  fractional  part  of  their 
usual  crop.  Prices  went  as  high  as  $1.50 
per  hundred  November  8  and  10. 

Chrysanthemums  have  reached  their 
crest  and  will  now  gradually  come  in  re- 
duced numbers.  Major  Bonnaffon  easily 
tops  all  others  in  favor.  White  Eager 
coming  next  in  popularity,  with  Chief- 
tain third.  There  is  a  good  call  for 
pompons  and  singles.  Cosmos  is  fairly 
plentiful,  but  sells  slowly.     Lilies   are

Florists'  Association. 

There  was  a  good  attendance  at  the 
meeting  of  the  Boston  Florists'  Asso- 
ciation held  at  the  Parker  House  Novem- 
ber 4.  Henry  Penn  presided  and  Major 
P.  F.  O'Keefe  made  an  excellent  ad- 
dress on  flower  publicity,  giving  many 
valuable  pointers  for  the  "Say  It  with 
Flowers"  week  which  was  to  open  No- 
vember 9  and  which  was  much  discussed. 
A  substantial  sum  was  added  to  the 
amount  previously  subscribed  toward 
the  expenses  of  the  week's  campaign, 
which  raised  the  total  sum  to  nearly 
$1,500.  Three  new  members  were 
plected. 

There  were  some  interesting  exhibits, 
which  included  Rose  Frank  W.  Dunlop, 
from  the  A.  N.  Pierson  Co.,  Cromwell, 
Conn.;  Rose  Pilgrim,  from  the  Montgom- 
ery Rose  Co.,  Hadley,  Mass.;  yellow 
and  white  chrysanthemums,  from  W.  R. 
Nicholson,  Framingham,  Mass.,  and 
Chrysanthemum  Mrs.  J.  Leslie  Davis, 
a  lavender  pink  sport  of  William 
Turner,  from  Charles  H.  Totty,  Mad- 
ison, N.  J.  A  basket  of  choice  roses  and 
chrysanthemums  was  sent  to  Governor 
Calvin  Coolidge  from  the  association, 
with  congratulations  on  his  sweeping 
victory  in  the  state  election  that  day. 

The  committee  in  charge  of  the  * '  Say 
It  with  Flowers  * '  week  consists  of  W.  R. 
Nicholson,  Sidney  Hoffman,  W.  C.

CANADIAN   GREENS 

FOR  AMERICAN  FLORISTS 

(^0Q3^f— Beautiful  dark  green.    Read  what  our  satisfied  customers  say  of  it: 


McKenna's,  Montreal,  say:— "We  have  been  using  your  cedar  to 
good  advantage  during  the  past  two  years  and  have  found  it  excellent 
and  an  agreeable  change  from  Galax  and  Magnolia.  In  making  up 
wreaths  more  especially  it  beats  anything  offered;  having  kept  same 
all  winter  without  losing  a  single  spray  is  another  most  encouraging 
featuie.    Please  ship  10  m." 

Dunlop's,  Toronto,  say:— "Send  us  10  m.  cedar,  have  been  using 
them  now  two  years;  their  keeping  qualities  enable  us  to  have  them 
on  hand  at  all  times;  in  fact  it  is  so  now  that  we  cannot  do  without 
them." 

Stewart's  Seed  Store,  Omaha:— "Answering  your  favor  of  July 
17th,  beg  to  advise  that  we  were  extremely  well  pleased  with  the 
cedar  which  you  shipped  us  this  past  year,  and  will  have  use  for 
quite  a  heavier  amount  for  the  ensuing  season.  Will  also  be  interested 
in  the  natural  branches  when  they  are  seasonable." 


Autfnst  Von  Boeselager,  Mt.  Clemens,  Mich.:  "I  certainly  like 
your  cedar  very  much.  I  never  saw  foliage  keep  as  well  as  the 
cedar." 

"The  cedar  branches  sentjn«  last  season,  both  long  and  short,  were 
fine  color.  Keeping  aualifles  all  that  could  be  desired.  They  are 
quite  an  addition  to  high  class  greens.  Let  roe  know  when  you  are 
ready  to  ship.  Very  respectfully.

and  a  third  with  a  grand  lot  of  orchids, 
including  such  varieties  as  Vanda

and  Cypripedium  insigne  Sanderse. 

John  J.  O'Brien,  on  Beacon  street, 
has  one  of  the  largest  and  best  equipped 
retail  stores  in  Boston,  with  a  depth  of 
ninety  feet  and  proportionate  width. 
The  show  cases  are  large  and  contain  a 
selection  of  the  choicest  flowers  in  sea- 
son. Included  are  first-class  gardenias, 
orchids  in  large  variety  and  splendid 
bouvardia.  An  immense  business  is 
done  in  pot  plants,  only  the  highest 
grade  stock  being  handled.  Frank 
Houghton,  late  of  the  Houghton-Gorney 
Co.,  and  John  Cook,  late  of  the  Rosery, 
are  among  the  experts  on  the  staff  of 
this  up-to-date  store. 

At  the  Houghton-Gorney  Co.  store  be- 
low the  Park  street  church,  crotons,  chrys- 
anthemums and  cyclamens  are  leaders 
among  pot  plants.  Orchids,  such  as  yel- 
low cypripediums,  white  dendrobiums, 
cattleyas  and  oncidiums,  are  prominent- 
ly featured  here  and  business  is  good. 
E.  S.  Gorney  is  secretary  of  the  new 
Florists'  Association. 

At  Penn's  the  campaign  for  publicity 
opened  November  8  with  large,  im- 
pressive ads  in  the  Boston  papers  and 
the  store  is  a  bower  of  floral  beauty 
this  week.  Henry  Penn  is  working  in- 
defatigably  for  the  success  of  the  "Say 
It  with  Flowers"  week. 

At  the  store  of  Wax  Bros,  the  "Say 
It  with  Flowers"  slogan  is  prominently 
displayed  and  this  progressive  firm  has 
its  full  share  of  orders,  including  a  good 
number  of  weddings.  Martin  Wax  is 
specially  proud  of  a  12-pound  lake  trout 
caught  in  Maine  last  summer  with  a 
6-ounce  rod.  The  fish  is  now  on  display 
in  the  windows  of  Dame,  Stoddard  & 
Kendall.

The  importations  this  season  are  sold

with  Flowers"  slogan  is  in  evidence, 
not  only  in  store  windows,  but  on  autos, 
delivery  wagons,  etc.  November  11, 
Armistice  day,  the  numerous  retailers' 
autos  went  to  the  wholesale  markets  and 
secured  flowers  contributed  by  growers, 
salesmen  or  retailers  for  distribution  to 
the  sixty  or  more  Boston  hospitals. 
Everyone  seems  full  of  enthusiasm  and 
the  work  done  this  week  will  stimulate 
the  cut  flower  trade  not  only  tempor- 
arily, but  permanently. 

At  Horticultural  hall  no  chrysanthe- 
mum show  was  held  this  year.  There 
was  a  small  exhibition  November  8,  but 
prizes  were  offered  only  for  fruits  and 
vegetables.  W.  H.  Golby,  gardener  to 
E.  A.  Clark,  had  a  handsome  lot  of 
specimen  chrysanthemum  blooms,  in- 
cluding Mrs.  E.  C.  Pulling,  Meudon, 
Nag-ir-roc,  Mrs.  W.  H.  Duhl,  Mrs.  Drab- 
ble, Rose  Pockett  and  Wm.  Rigby.  W. 
C.  Rust  showed  a  finely  flowered  speci- 
men of  Begonia  Pink  Perfection,  one  of 
the  English  winter-flowering  type.  Peter 
Amott,  from  the  E.  S.  Webster  estate, 
showed  the  handsome  Cypripedium 
Doris,  carrying  a  spike  with  fourteen 
flowers.  To  each  of  these  last  two  ex- 
hibits a  silver  medal  was  awarded,  and 
also  to  Donald  McKenzie,  gardener  to

E.  B.  Dane,  for  Cypripedium  Dread- 
naught. 

Thomas  F.  Galvin,  Jr.,  has  opened  a 
retail  store  at  260  Devonshire  street, 
where  Dolansky  &  McDonald  were  for- 
merly located. 

Frank  J.  Eeynolds,  for  a  number  of 
years  with  the  Welch  Bros.  Co.,  has 
opened  a  wholesale  commission  business 
with  stalls  in  the  Boston  Cooperative 
Market.  He  is  receiving  shipments  from 
several  large  growers  and  plana  to  do  a 
large  shipping  business. 

George  Anson,  orchid  grower  for  A.  0. 
Burrage,  Beverly  Farms,  will  give  a 
stereopticon  lecture  on  orchids  at  the 
meeting  of  the  Gardeners'  and  Florists' 
Club  November  18.  Exhibits  of  orchids 
and  other  flower  novelties  will  be  a 
feature.  Nominations  of  officers  for 
1920  will  be  made  at  this  meeting. 

There  is  a  marked  decrease  in  re- 
ceipts of  violets  here  of  late  years,  and 
this  season  fewer  flowers  than  ever  are 
being  received.  Many  growers  have 
given  up  their  culture  as  unprofitable 
and  others  have  reduced  their  plantings. 
One  of  the  most  successful  growers,  Wil- 
liam Spillsbury,  of  Woburn,  Mass., 
states  that  he  is  not  getting  over  1,000 
flowers  daily  where  he  should  pick  5,000, 
that  the  plants  are  variable  in  size  and 
vigor  and  that  their  culture  is  becom- 
ing a  lottery.  A.  T.  Kidder  grew  25,000 
plants  in  the  field,  from  which  he  se- 
lected 8,000  to  house.  Others,  like 
James  Shannon,  of  Woburn,  report 
similar  conditions.  With  Princess  of 
Wales  violet  now  in  cultivation  for 
nearly  a  quarter  of  a  century,  it  looks 
as  though  the  constitution  of  this  once 
splendid  variety  had  so  weakened  as  to 
compel  growers  to  drop  it  and  secure  a 
substitute  if  one  is  available. 

H.  E,  Hood,  of  Manchester,  N.  H., 
gave  the  wholesale  market  a  little  fillip 
November  8  by  purchasing  10,000  car- 
nations for  a  Bed  Cross  drive  in  that 
city. 

Anderson  Bros.,  of  Woburn,  Mass.,  are 
cutting  nice  lots  of  such  chrysanthe- 
mums as  Mrs.  Bowe,  Mrs.  W.  Bucking- 
ham, Klondyke,  Dotty,  Bonnaffon, 
Chieftain  and  Eager,  also  sweet  peas 
in  variety. 

Bouvardia  is  proving  extremely 
popular  in  Boston  this  season.  The 
white,  sweet-scented  Humboldtii  is  in 
especial  favor,  John  W.  Foots  has  a 
large  house  from  which  he  is  just  start-

LOS  ANGELES,  CAL. 


The  Maxkeft. 
Retailers  report  heavy  funeral  orders 
last  week  and  wholesalers  also  shipped 
out  a  good  deal  of  made-up  work  to  the 
smaller  towns.  Business  shows  more 
vim  now  than  at  any  time  since  last 
season  and,  as  the  mums  are  past  the 
height  of  their  season,  stock  of  all  kinds 
is  likely  to  go  to  much  higher  prices. 
Boses  are  improving  in  quality  and  are 
better  than  they  have  been  for  a  long 
time.  These  are  about  equal  to  the 
demand,  with  a  slight  oversupply  some 
days.  Indoor  and  field  carnations  are 
both  plentiful  and  good,  but  are  much 
higher  in  price  than  usual  at  this  season 
of  the  year.  Dahlias  and  gladioli  still 
hold  out,  but  are  not  seen  in  such  quan- 
tities as  recently.  Small  flowers  are  of 
good  quality  and  equal  to  the  demand. 
Ferns  and  greens  are  more  plentiful. 

Various  Notes. 

Two  of  the  happiest  looking  men  in 
the  trade  this  week  are  Mr.  Royston 
and  Mr.  Williamson,  of  Armacost  &  Co. 
They  have  moved  into  their  new  store 
on  Fourth  street,  where  they  have  the 
entire  new  building,  50x110  feet.  In 
front,  on  one  side,  are  the  oflices,  and 
back  of  these  are  three  built-in  ice- 
boxes, covering  a  space  10x40  feet. 
Through  the  center  are  elevated  shelves 
tor  baskets,  while  in  the  rear  is  the 
packing  and  shipping  department.  Al- 
together, it  is  one  of  the  largest  and 
best  equipped  wholesale  stores  in  the 
country  and  the  firm  is  to  be  warmly 
congratulated  on  its  enterprise.  A  car- 
load of  magnolia  leaves  arrived  just  in 
time  for  the  new  place  and  a  second 
carload  of  baskets  is  about  due.

SAN  FRANCISCO,  CAL. 


The  Market. 

Stock  continues  to  sell  easily.  There 
was  a  scarcity  of  a  number  of  varieties 
and  prices  are  gradually  tightening. 
The  great  amount  of  shipping  this  sea- 


son has  about  cleaned  up  the  large 
chrysanthemums  and  those  that  are  left 
are  bringing  good  prices.  There  are 
still  many  of  the  Chinese-grown  mums 
in  market,  of  fine  quality  and  coloring; 
these  are  filling  in  nicely  and  taking 
the  place  of  the  larger  blooms  satisfac- 
torily in  most  instances.  Roses,  with 
the  exception  of  the  stock  of  one  or  two 
growers  who  got  an  early  start  this 
year,  are  scarce.  Prices  of  good  roses 
are  well  up  and  the  demand  is  strong. 

Violets  are  fine  now  and  shippers  re- 
port an  excellent  business,  the  demand 
being  large  enough  to  keep  prices  on  a 
satisfactory  level. 

There  was  a  scarcity  last  week  of 
both  orchids  and  gardenias,  just  at  a 
time  when  a  quantity  could  be  used,  for 
weddings  have  been  particularly  nu- 
merous in  San  Francisco  recently.  In 
addition  to  the  weddings,  there  have 
been  many  coming-out  parties,  calling 
for  decorations,  corsages  and  floral 
gifts  for  the  debutantes.  There  is  more 
work  of  this  chaiacter  this  season  than

there  has  been  since  the  beginning  of 
the  war. 

Halloween  work  just  about  cleaned 
up  the  retail  establishments  on  cut 
stock.  A  good  many  social  affairs  of 
considerable  size  were  given  in  observ- 
ance of  the  day  and  many  of  the  deco- 
rations were  elaborate. 

Outdoor  stock  is  still  good.  There 
have  been  no  frosts  of  consequence  as 
yet. 

Carnations  have  been  more  plentiful 
than  for  some  time.  The  present  crop, 
although  not  producing  any  large 
blooms,  permits  good  cutting  and  the 
prices  are  first-rate. 

Ferns  are  in  much  better  condition 
now  and  are  more  plentiful.  Besides 
the  varieties  used  with  cut  flowers,  the 
potted  stock  for  holiday  trade  is  arriv- 
ing and  some  of  it  seems  to  be  quite 
good.  Cyclamen  plants  are  also  in  now,

they    are   in    good    condition    and    find 
ready  buyers. 

Various  Notes. 

Of  vital  interest  to  local  shippers  is 
the  announcement  of  the  American 
Railway  Express  Co.  in  relation  to  re- 
frigerator cars  out  of  San  Francisco. 
Although  it  is  rather  late  in  the  day,  it 
is  nevertheless  good  news  to  learn  that 
a  car  will  leave  here  each  Wednesday 
and  Friday,  going  as  far  east  as  Chi- 
cago, making  the  trip  via  Ogden  and 
Omaha.  The  only  regret  of  those  to 
whom  this  service  will  be  of  use  is  that 
such  service  was  not  inaugurated  at  the 
start  of  the  mum  season. 

C.  Kooyman  &  Co.  are  practically 
cleaned  up  on  the  early  stock  of  bulbs, 
but  expect  to  have  a  new  lot  of  the 
later  shipment  in  before  long. 

Domoto  Bros,  state  that  violets  are 
moving  much  better  now.  This  firm  is 
busy  at  the  nursery  with  new  bulbs, 
which  are  arriving  on  every  steamer 
from  the  OrienL  Already  four  ship- 
ments of  Japanese  stock  have  come  in 
and  Mr.  Domoto  says  he  is  expecting 
several  more.  Much  of  this  stock  is 
sold  to  growers  on  the  Pacific  coast  and 
the  rest  is  to  be  grown  by  the  Domoto 
interests. 

The  United  Flower  &  Supply  Co.  re- 
ports having  an  abundance  of  violets 
just  now,  but  is  getting  rather  low  on 
large  chrysanthemums  and  roses.  A 
supply  of  goldfish  arrived  recently, 
enough  to  meet  a  good  part  of  the  local 
demand.  The  fancy  bowls,  with  their 
accompanying  decorations  in  the  form 
of  polished  pebbles,  lotus  buds  and  other 
water  plants,  are  quite  popular  and  the 
Bale  of  them  has  brought  in  considerable 
revenue  to  the  florists,  who  vie  with 
each  other  in  producing  original  and 
artistic  effects  in  "homes  for  goldfish." 

J.  A.  Axell  has  been  fortunate  in 
keeping  a  good  selection  of  roses  this 
season  and  in  addition  to  his  shipping 
business  is  supplying  local  florists  with 
some  fine  blooms. 

Roy  Wilcox,  of  Los  Angeles,  was  in 
San  Francisco  for  a  day  or  two  last 
week  on  his  way  home  from  an  eastern 
trip. 

Congratulating  Mayor  James  Rolph, 
Jr.,  on  his  reelection  November  4,  the 
Three  Hundred  and  Sixty-third  Infan- 
try, to  whom  the  genial  mayor  was 
known  as  "Dad,"  sent  a  huge  basket 
of  yellow  and  bronze  chrysanthemums 
to  their  patron.  The  floral  offering  was 
arranged  by  Pelicano,  Rossi  &  Co.  This 
was  only  a  small  part  of  the  congratu- 
latory gifts  that  Mayor  Rolph  received, 
as  many  of  the  local  florists  filled  orders 
of  this  kind  on  the  following  day.

a  visitor  in  San  Francisco  recently. 
Mr.  Moore  spent  all  of  his  time  looking 
for  Christmas  stock.  He  states  that 
business  in  Sacramento  is  quite  good 
just  now,  many  social  affairs  supplying 
plenty  of  work. 

Last  week  Joseph's  window  made  a 
most  attractive  autumnal  picture,  with 
its  baskets  and  vases  in  bronze  tones 
filled  with  chrysanthemums  and  maple 
leaves.  Garlands  of  eucalyptus  and 
acacia  leaves  tinted  in  autumn  colors 
were  looped  from  the  ceiling  above 
the  window,  forming  a  canopy  which 
created  a  charming  impression  of  frost- 
tinted  woods.  George  Wagner,  who  has

charge,  expects  to  make  a  special  trip 
to  Sacramento  soon  to  arrange  the  floral 


work  for  a  wedding  to  be  held  in  that 
city  November  14. 

An  attractive  color  scheme  was 
worked  out  by  Mrs.  Copeland  at  a 
church  wedding  last  week.  Gray-toned 
acacia  leaves  were  combined  with  pink 
chrysanthemums  and  hydrangeas,  giv- 
ing a  delicate  atmosphere  to  the  affair, 
different  from  the  usual  color  combina- 
tions at  this  season. 

The  Art  Floral  Co.  reports  an  excel- 
lent demand  for  corsages  lately.  The 
shop  is  resplendent  with  a  new  electric 
sign  in  the  form  of  a  single  red  rose, 
which  is  hung  just  above  the  name  of 
the  shop.  A.  Cuneo,  the  head  decorator, 
is  now  able  to  devote  more  attention 
to  the  windows,  as  he  is  relieved  from 
some  of  the  other  work  by  the  addition 
of  William  Scanlon  to  the  force.     Mr. 


Cuneo  has  used  decorated  bowls  recent- 
ly in  place  of  the  usual  flower  baskets, 
with  the  result  that  the  windows  have 
attracted  considerable  attention.  Mr. 
Scanlon  has  recently  returned  to  the  flo- 
rists' business  after  a  period  of  work  in 
the  shipyards.  Prior  to  the  war  he  was 
a  member  of  the  A.  O.  Stein  staff. 

Weddings  have  kept  the  MacRorie- 
McLaren  Co.  busy  lately.  In  addition 
to  the  large  affair  at  the  Bohemian 
Club,  a  number  of  smaller  ceremonies 
were  decorated  by  this  firm.  The  land- 
scape department  is  also  exceptionally 
busy  and  many  contracts  are  under  way 
for  this  season.  Donald  McLaren  has 
just  returned  from  a  trip  to  the  south- 
ern part  of  the  state  in  regard  to  work 
of  this  department.

The  Market. 

So  far  no  ill  effect  has  been  felt  from 
the  general  social  unrest,  and  it  is  im- 
probable that  the  coal  strike  will  in  any 
way  affect  the  growers,  even  though  the 
government  has  confiscated  all  coal  in 
this  section.  Wood  is  plentiful  and 
near  at  hand  in  this  part  of  the  country. 

The  light  winter  rains  were  much 
against  business  last  week;  yet  the  gen- 
eral report  is  that  business  has  been 
good  and  stock  in  general  somewhat 
more  plentiful,  though  some  varieties, 
such  as  carnations,  are  still  scarce. 

Some  fine  local  mums  are  arriving  on 
the  market  and  quantity  and  quality 
will  improve  towards  Thanksgiving. 
Large  shipments  of  California  mums  are 
still  reaching  this  market  and  the  con- 
dition of  the  stock  depends  largely  on 
its  packing,  which  varies  a  great  deal 
among  the  California  shippers. 

The  Hollywood  Gardens. 

Mr.  Meyers,  manager  of  the  range  of 
glass  connected  with  the  Hollywood 
Gardens,  made  a  tour  of  the  retail  stores 
visting  his  many  friends,  whom  he  has 
not  seen  for  three  months.  The  trade 
is  pleased  to  see  that  he  weathered  the 
storm  and  has  completely  recovered 
from  the  shock  he  received  when  his 
men  went  on  strike  at  the  Hollywood 
Farm  last  summer. 

Mr.  Meyers  reports  a  fine  average 
cut  of  roses  at  the  Hollywood  Gardens; 
they  have  so  far  cut  20,700  roses  from 
6,400  plants.  The  varieties  are  Ophelia, 
Russell  and  Columbia,  the  main  cut 
being  Ophelia,  which,  being  of  such  a 
fine,  deep,  copper  pink  in  color,  is  easily 
the  favorite.  A  large  cut  of  mums 
of  leading  varieties  will  be  received  in 
the  store  for  Thanksgiving.  At  present 
they  are  shipping  carnations  and  the 
store  is  receiving  some  good  potted  pom- 
pons of  dwarf  varieties. 

The  new  store  of  the  Hollywood  Gar- 
dens is  at  the  corner  of  Second  and 
Stewart  streets,  one  block  above  their

Various  Notes. 

H.  A.  Crouch,  of  the  Woodlawu  Flower 
Shop,  has  been  making  short  trips 
through  the  country  rounding  up  stock 
for  the  holidays.  He  reports  stock 
scarce,  but  he  thinks  that  with  the  aid 
of  a  few  California  shipments  he  will 
weather  the  rush. 

C.  E.  McCoy  will  not  be  contented 
until  he  is  located  in  the  new  store  on 
Second  avenue.  The  rebuilding  of  the 
old  structure  forced  them  into  their 
present  close  quarters  on  Third  avenue. 

Had  it  not  been  for  the  carpenters' 
strike,  Seattle  could  by  this  time  boast 
of  an  additional  up-to-date  store.    When

The  Florists^  Review 


NOVIMBBB    13,    1919. 


TOBONTO,  ONT. 


The  IVIarket. 

Cut  flowers  are  selling  well  and  the 
increase  in  receptions  is  making  a  big 
demand.  Almost  every  florist  had  sev- 
eral decorations  for  receptions  last  week 
and  the  demand  for  design  work  keeps 

up. 

The  outlook  for  supply  is  good.  A 
visit  to  some  of  the  greenhouses  shows 
that  there  will  be  a  big  quantity  of 
stock  available  at  an  early  date.  The 
mum  show  of  this  week  ushers  in  the 
busy  fall  season,  which  will  culminate 
in  the  Christmas  week  rush. 

"Say  It  witli  Flowers"  Parade.. 

The  Toronto  Eetail  Flofjists'  Club 
held  a  big  "  Say  It  with  Flowers ' '  cele- 
bration November  7,  the  feature  of 
which  was  a  large  parade  in  which  all 
the  retail  florists  joined,  with  their 
trucks  and  cars  suitably  decorated. 

The  parade,  with  the  Victory  Loan 
band  at  its  head,  assembled  in  front 
of  the  club  rooms,  where  the  lady  mem- 
bers, assisted  by  several  other  volun- 
teers, were  receiving  donations  of  flow- 
ers and  packing  them  in  boxes.  With 
the  trucks  filled,  the  parade  visited  all 
the  military  hospitals,  where  commit- 
tees of  ladies  distributed  the  flowers  to 
the  sick  and  disabled  soldiers. 

The  visitors  were  given  a  great  re- 
ception at  the  different  hospitals,  but 
the  one  which  made  the  greatest  impres- 
sion was  probably  at  Pearson  hall,  the 
home  of  the  blind  veterans.  The  parade 
arrived  here  just  at  supper-time  and  the 
soldiers  met  the  ladies  with  the  flowers 
and  gave  three  cheers  for  the  ladies 
and  the  Eetail  Florists'  Club. 

Thousands  of  roses,  carnations  and 
chrysanthemums  were  donated  by  mem- 
bers of  the  club  and  two  or  three  of  the 
growers.  They  made  a  beautiful  dis- 
play. In  fact,  the  local  papers  sent 
along  photographers  to  take  pictures  for 
the  Saturday  night  editions.  The  mo- 
tion picture  man  was  also  on  hand  and 
pictures  of  the  display  and  the  parade 
will  be  shown  in  the  local  motion  pic- 
ture theaters.  J.  J.  H.

STANDARD  OR  TREE  ROSES 


When  we  budded  our  Standard  Roses  last  year  we  had  a  number  that  did  not  make  up  to  proper  sizes  for  sale.  We  also  had  a  number  of  plants 
that  were  budded  at  various  heights,  varying  from  twenty-four  to  thhiy-six  inches.  We  will  be  glad  to  give  information  as  to  the  height  of  the  head 
when  orders  <ure  placed,  if  the  purchaser  desires.

Shortage  of  this  year's  crop  of  Spen- 
cer sweet  peas  is  being  felt  now. 

Lester  L.  Morse  celebrated  his  forty- 
ninth  birthday  anniversary  November  9. 

The  Nishna  Valley  Seed  Co.,  Shenan- 
doah, la.,  specializes  on  seed  corns,  field, 
flint,  sugar  and  pop.  The  oflacers  are: 
President,  P.  C.  Ambler;  treasurer,  F.  P. 
Nye;  secretary,  L.  V.  Hyde. 

The  Western  Seed  &  Irrigation  Co., 
Fremont,  Neb.,  has  established  a  seed 
growing,  receiving  and  shipping  station 
at  Kocky  Ford,  Colo.,  in  order  to  place  a 
sufficient  acreage  to  handle  its  trade. 

J.  J.  BuDLONG,  onion  set  grower,  pickle 
packer  and  bank  president,  has  announced 
that  forty-five  of  the  employees  of  the 
Lakeview  Trust  &  Savings  Bank  will  re- 
ceive a  bonus  equal  to  ten  per  cent  of 
their  annual  salaries,  payable  in  Decem- 
ber, in  lieu  of  a  raise  in  wages. 

Kenneth  Earl,  son  of  Howard  M. 
Earl,  of  the  Jerome  B.  Rice  Seed  Co., 
Cambridge,  N.  Y.,  received  the  highest 
rating  in  a  competitive  examination  be- 
fore the  Civil  Service  Commission  in 
Philadelphia  recently  and  has  been  ap- 
pointed to  the  Naval  Academy  at  An- 
napolis. 

In  view  of  what  is  heard  from  Japan 
regarding  the  price  ideas  of  the  lily  bulb 
growers,  this  year 's  prices  for  giganteums 
will  look  cheap  twelve  months  from  now. 
But  there  is  a  prospect  that  several  im- 
porters have  had  enough  trouble  this  sea- 
son so  they  may  let  the  other  fellows  play 
the  game  alone  next  season. 

BULB  DEALERS'  PREDICAMENT. 

Bulb  jobbers  are  not  unfamiliar  with 
the  problems  arising  from  the  late  ar- 
rival of  stock,  because  it  was  December 
last  year  before  they  received  their 
shipments.  Nevertheless,  the  protracted 
delays  at  the  docks  in  New  York  this 
year  are  causing  much  concern.  The 
situation  is  described  by  C.  C.  Pollworth, 
of  Milwaukee,  who  said  November  7: 

"We  are  in  the  same  fix  as  most  of 
the  other  dealers  around  here.  Instead 
of  being  able  to  fill  orders,  we  are  receiv- 
ing cancellations  due  to  the  largest  part 
of  our  shipments  being  tietl  up  at  the 
docks  in  New  York.  A  large  proportion 
of  our  imports  are  distributed  through 
the  northwest,  where  our  customers  al- 
ready have  had  zero  weather  and  lots  of 
snow.  There  is  hardly  any  possibility 
of  planting  any  more  bulbs  outside. 
When  we  receive  our  shipments,  which 
are  a  month  or  six  weeks  overdue  be- 
cause of  the  stevedores'  strike  in  New 
York,  we  may  have  a  large  surplus  to 
offer  and  we  shall  have  to  look  to  south- 
ern trade  to  dispose  of  them." 


SEED  GROWERS'  TROUBLES. 

Members  of  the  seed  trade  have  not 
trod  a  path  of  roses  during  the  last  few 
seasons,  or,  if  their  way  was  strewn 
with  flowers,  not  all  the  growths  had 
been  dethorned.  It  is  characteristic  of 
the  seedsman,  however,  that  he  takes 
his  trouble  good-naturedly.  Even  the 
seed  growers  do,  and  surely  they  have 
bad  more  than  their  share  of  perplexi-

The  Florists'  Review 


NOVBMBEB    13,    1919. 


ties.  This  is  the  way  William  Emerson, 
widely  known  as  manager  of  the  West- 
em  Seed  &  Irrigation  Co.,  refers  to  the 
present  situation: 

"We  are  paying  higher  prices  for 
seed  this  year  and  higher  prices  for  la- 
bor and  operating  expenses,  but,  unfor- 
tunately, the  poor  devil  of  a  seedsman  is 
expected  to  sell  his  seeds  at  a  closer 
■  margin  than  ever  before,  instead  of  at 
a  higher  price.  We  are  selling  seeds  at 
a  lower  price  than  we  did  a  year  ago, 
but  even  then  there  are  others  more 
fortunate,  or  possibly  we  should  say 
more  unfortunate,  because  they  are  un- 
derselling us,  and  it  is  hard  to  tell  when 
or  where  or  how  it  will  end.  It  seems 
everything  else  on  earth  is  going  higher 
except  seeds  and  we  do  not  know  if  it 
is  because  the  seed  growers  have  been 
too  enthusiastic  and  patriotic  in  trying 
to  produce,  or  if  it  is  simply  our  just  or 
unjust  dues." 

The  silver  lining  in  the  cloud  lies  in 
the  fact  that,  one  way  or  another,  the 
seed  growers,  with  all  their  troubles, 
seem  to  be  a  pretty  continuously  suc- 
cessful lot. 


ONION  SET  TRADE  GOOD. 

Knud  Gundestrup,  of  Gundestrup's 
Seed  Store,  Chicago,  writes: 

"The  onion  set  trade  has  been  ex- 
cellent. Fall  shipments  are  over,  but 
there  are  many  inquiries  for  shipment 
early  next  year  and  prices  are  good  and 
firm. 

"I  am  now  busy  receiving  shipments 
of  seed  from  Europe.  I  had  two  large 
shipments  on  the  steamer  Frederick 
Vm  from  Copenhagen.  This  steamer 
had  to  go  to  Philadelphia  to  be  un- 
loaded, as  the  strike  was  still  on  when 
the  boat  arrived  at  New  York.  I  ex- 
pect several  more  shipments  of  Danish 
seed  on  the  next  steamer  from  Copen- 
hagen. ' '

DUTCH  BULBS  COMING  ON. 

Consignments  of  Holland  bulbs  are 
moving  from  New  York  now  that  the 
dock  strike  is  over.  Some  cases  have 
been  received  by  dealers,  but  many  will 
be  delayed  by  the  congestion  on  the 
wharves.  Unloading  is  going  on  as  rap- 
idly as  the  stevedores  are  able  to  work.

The  Florists^  Review 


NOVBHBBB   18,   1919. 


Huge  piles  of  cargo  fill  the  docks  and 
the  forwarding  company  which  is  able 
to  seize  its  cases  as  they  appear  and 
cart  them  away  before  they  are  buried, 
is  fortunate.  Extraordinary  efforts  are 
being  made  to  relieve  congestion  and 
forward  consignments.  So  growers  may 
hope  for  their  supply  ere  long. 

Last  week  twenty-nine  cases  more  of 
Holland  bulbs  reached  New  York,  on 
the  steamer  Nieuw  Amsterdam,  from 
Rotterdam,  which  arrived  November  5. 
The  total  for  the  season  is  now  35,964 
cases. 

BUTFALO,  N.  Y. 


The  Market. 

Chrysanthemums  are  in  full  control 
of  the  market.  While  this  is  true  every 
chrysanthemum  season,  it  pprhaps  has 
never  been  so  evident.  The  supply  is  as 
great  as  last  year's  and  is  moving  well 
at  firm  prices.  The  buying  public  has 
never  had  so  great  an  interest  in  this 
flower  as  it  is  displaying  now.  Is  it  the 
cooperative  publicity?  At  least  one 
thing  is  a  fact;  every  shop  gets  cus- 
tomers who  mention  that  they  have 
read  in  the  Sunday  Courier  about  the 
autumn  queen  and  the  baby  pompons. 

Carnations  have  accumulated  and 
dropped  in  price.  It  is  reported  by 
many  that  these  do  not  sell  at  any  price 
just  now  and  that  they  are  carried  in 
stock  because  customers  ask  for  them 
through  habit,  but  they  buy  chrysan- 
themums. Of  roses  there  is  a  fine  stock 
of  the  best  grades  and  varieties,  selling 
at  a  low  figure. 

Various  Notes. 

The  advertising  fund  has  become  a 
fact.  The  only  question  now  is,  "Where 
shall  we  put  up  the  'Say  It  with  Flow- 
ers' signs?"  Many  good  places  exist, 
Wallace  Eiss  says;  the  only  thing  to  do 
is  to  invest  more  money  and  keep  put- 
ting the  signs  up. 

Fred  White,  employed  at  the  green- 
houses of  G.  Easier,  has  bought  some 
land  on  the  outskirts  of  the  city  and 
will  grow  gladioli  and  asters  next  year. 

The  retail  florists  met  last  week  and 
decided  that  Sunday  closing  was  such  a 
success  that  they  should  continue  to  re- 
main closed.  In  advising  all  retailers 
of  this  fact,  the  announcement  argues, 
"For  the  sake  of  your  future,  observe 
Sunday  and  forget  the  few  dollars  you 
might  not  get  on  Sunday."      F.  P.  A.

Dear  Sir: — In  the  name  of  the  Wisconsin  State 
Florists'  Ass'n,  I  wish  to  thank  you  for  your  exhibit 
of  both  the  pmk  and  white  Asters,  at'our  annual 
meetiDK  held  at  Milwaukee,  September  12th. 

I  am  transmitting  herewith  the  resolution  passed 
at  that  meeting,  endorsing  these  asters  as  t)eing  a 
very  meritorious  flower.  It  was  the  sense  of  the 
resolution  that  these  Asters  be  endorsed  by  the  asso- 
ciation as  having  the  largest  flower  and  longest  stems 
and  in  every  way  being  superior  to  any  aster  thus 


far  seen  in  the  market.    It  is  with  pleasure,  indeed, 
that  I  am  permitted  to  send  this  message. 

With  best  wishes  for  the  future  success  of  this 
flower,  I  am.  Yours  very  truly, 

WISCONSIN  STAIE  FLORISIS'  ASS'N.

The  sample  flowers  of  Asters  shown  were  the

I  have  ever  seen  in  32  years'  experience.

OALIFOBNIA  NimSERYMEN. 


Meet  at  CMco. 

The  ninth  annual  meeting  of  the  Cali- 
fornia Association  of  Nurserymen  at- 
tracted a  large  gathering  at  Chico  this 
week,  for  during  the  same  week  the  an- 
nual state  convention  of  fruit  growers 
and  farmers  and  also  the  state  associa- 
tion of  county  horticultural  commission- 
ers were  in  session.  The  nurserymen's 
sessions  open  Thursday  morning,  Novem- 
ber 13,  called  to  order  by  President  Wm. 
T.  Kirkman,  Jr.,  of  the  Kirkman  Nurs- 
ersies,  Fresno.  To  the  welcome  of  Dr. 
E.  B.  Copelaud,  president  of  the  Chico 
Chamber  of  Commerce,  George  F.  Otto, 
of  San  Diego,  chairman  of  the  executive 
committee,  responds,  followed  by  the 
president's  address  and  the  report  of 
Secretary-Treasurer  Henry  W.  Krucke- 
berg,  of  Los  Angeles. 

"Trade  signs  of  the  time"  were 
stated  by  the  association  in  its  conven- 
tion program  in  the  following  words: 
"Prevailing  trade  conditions  call  for 
intelligent  cooperative  action,  for  the 
standardization  of  nursery  products  in 
both  the  economics  and  ornamentals,  for 
a  broader  knowledge  of  costs  of  produc- 
tion and  good  salesmanship,  for  a  higher 
eflficiency  and  better  standards  of  labor 
in  nursery  row  and  office,  for  just  and 
equitable  relations  between  horticul- 
tural authorities,  the  commercial  plants- 
men  and  the  fruit  growers,  for  a  get- 
together  movement  that  will  give  the 
nursery  industry  rank  with  the  great 
financial,  mercantile  and  manufacturing 
industries  of  the  country."

' '  Other  plants  or  classes  of  plants  and 
plant  products  for  propagation  not  cov- 
ered by  regulations  2  and  3  may  be  en- 
tered for  immediate  transportation  and 
exportation  in  bond  to  foreign  countries 
under  the  same  terms  as  plants  covered 
in  regulation  3,  except  as  to  plants  which 
come  with  earth  or  soil  about  the  roots 
or  packed  in  earth  or  soil  which  has 
not  been  sterilized.  As  to  such  excepted 
plants,  their  entry  for  transportation 
across  the  country  in  bond  is  prohibited, 
but  provision  may  be  made  for  their 
immediate  export  to  the  country  of  des- 
tination by  any  available  ocean  route. 

"In  case  of  a  mixed  shipment  which 
can  not  be  conveniently  separated  or 
divided  into  the  different  classes,  the 
whole  shipment  must  be  governed  by  the 
class  subject  to  the  greatest  restrictions 
as  to  entry. 

"Permits  for  classes  2  and  3  will  be 
issued  for  each  shipment;  in  other  words, 
no  open  permits  will  be  issued.  These 
permits  will  be  issued  either  from  Wash- 
ington or,  when  so  authorized,  by  the 
inspectors  at  the  ports  of  entry  pro- 
vided for  in  regulation  6  under  Quaran- 
tine No.  37,  Notification  of  arrival  of 
such  shipments  jjrovided  for  in  regula- 
tion 10  must  be  made  by  the  importer 
or  his  agent  to  the  inspected  of  the  board 
at  the  port  of  arrival,  who,  after  inspec- 
tion and  determination  of  the  nature  of 
the  shipment,  will  make  the  proper  en- 
dorsement on  the  customs  manifest, 
which  document  must  be  held  until  in- 
spection has  been  made."

The  Market. 

While  the  weather  is  cooler  than  it 
was,  there  is  still  a  lack  of  frosts  and 
many  persons  still  have  fall  flowers  in 
bloom  in  their  gardens.  Florists  report 
that  business  is  fair,  however.  The 
growers  are  getting  their  fall  bulbs  in. 

Various  Notes. 

Charles  J.  Connolly,  320  Bank  street, 
has  been  having  considerable  funeral 
work.  There  has  also  been  much  wed- 
ding work,  but  this  is  now  dropping  off. 

Charles  Luthy,  363  Springfield  avenue, 
reports  that  business  is  good,  but  that 
there  is  not  the  snap  to  it  that  there 
should  be.  E.  B.  M.

The  Florists^  Review 


NOVDMBIB   18,   1919. 


MTLWAUKEE,  WIS. 


The  Market. 

About  the  same  condition  prevails  in 
the  market  as  was  reported  last  week — 
plenty  of  stock,  with  prices  low  in 
proportion  to  the  value  of  flowers  of- 
fered. 

In  fairness  to  those  concerned  with 
handling  the  supply  and  those  laboring 
to  create  a  demand,  it  should  be  said 
that  Milwaukee  has  suffered  less  in  the 
last  two  weeks  than  any  other  city  of  its 
size,  according  to  personal  observation 
and  reports  from  other  markets.  Prices 
are  below  normal,  but  production  has 
been  farther  above  and  striking  an  aver- 
age between  the  two  shows  that  Mil- 
waukee has  fared  well.  Our  patrons  are 
using  an  amount  of  flowers  that  would 
tax  our  ability,  were  the  supply  less  and 
prices  firmer. 

Various  Notes. 

The  Holton  &  Hunkel  Co.  continues 
to  cut  large  mums  in  quantity,  which 
have  brought  up  to  $6  per  dozen  for 
the  best  quality. 

Saturday,  November  8,  was  visiting 
day  for  the  public  at  the  new  store  of 
the  E.  Welke  Co.,  on  Third  street.  The 
store  was  crowded  with  patrons  and 
well-wishers  from  early  morning  until 
a  late  hour. 

Fred  Gutermuth  is  bringing  some 
clean  and  well  grown  mums  of  medium 
size  to  the  market.  Business  has  been 
good  at  the  Gutermuth  store  on  Win- 
nebago street. 

Gustave  Pohl  brought  his  first  yellow 
Bonnaffons  to  market  last  week.  Sev- 
eral thousand  are  still  to  be  cut. 

Nic  Zweifel,  formerly  one  of  Milwau- 
kee 's  largest  carnation  growers,  is  in 
California  with  his  family  for  the 
winter. 

Consignments  of  violets  from  Water- 
town  are  unusually  light  this  year  and 
do  not  meet  the  demand.  There  are  few 
local  violets. 

Eric  Johnson,  of  the  cut  flower  depart- 
ment of  the  A.  L.  Bandall  Co.,  Chicago, 
was  in  Milwaukee  Sunday,  November  9, 
to  procure  some  orchids,  which  he  hur- 
ried back  to  Chicago  and  placed  in  a 
shipment  for  Memphis,  Tenn. 

Herbert  Hecht,  of  Wertheimer  Bros., 
New  York,  and  Mat  Schiltz,  of  the  Ove 
Gnatt  Co.,  La  Porte,  Ind.,  called  on  the 
trade  last  weeK. 

The  Florists'  Advertising  Club  has 
procured  space  at  the  food,  household 
and  music  exposition  in  the  Auditorium, 
November  20  to  25,  inclusive.  There 
they  will  carry  the  message,  "Say  It 
with  Flowers,"  to  thousands  of  people.

The  Market. 

Last  week  business  was  a  little  more 
quiet  than  in  the  previous  one.  As  a  re- 
sult, stock  was  quite  plentiful.  Chrys- 
anthemums are  everywhere  in  evidence. 
Good  pompons  in  all  colors  are  being 
displayed  and  some  single  and  anemone 
types  are  also  seen.  Large  mums  are 
prominent  in  every  flower  shop  window; 
yellow  and  white  predominate.  Pink 
flowers  are  in  good  demand,  but  have 
been  a  little  short.  Mums  have  been 
ranging  in  price  from  $1.25  to  $6  per 
dozen. 

Boses  have  been  moving  well  at  prices 
ranging  from  $3  to  $15.  Carnations, 
however,  have  i)een  a  drag  and  can  be 
bought  at  bargain  prices  in  large  quan- 
tities. A  few  calla  lilies  have  appeared 
and  are  being  utilized. 

In  the  last  part  of  the  week,  business 
was  a  little  more  brisk.  The  Wabash- 
De  Pauw  football  game  caused  large 
yellow  and  white  chrysanthemums  to 
be  in  heavy  demand  and  several  hun- 
dred were  sold  in  this  connection. 

Potted  plants  have  been  in  fair  de- 
mand, with  potted  mums  leading  in 
popularity.  Ferns,  Jerusalem  cherries 
and  Gloire  de  Chatelaine  begonias  sell 
fairly  well. 

Various  Notes. 

Morris  Mayer  has  purchased  Mrs. 
Hurley's  city  market  stand.  Mrs.  Hur- 
ley has  been  assisting  him  on  market 
days. 

John  Eisner  has  purchased  Wm.  A.

The  automobile  of  the  Pahud  Floral 
Co.  was  recently  in  an  accident.  The 
car  was  hit  and  turned  over  and  the 
chauffeur  slightly  injured.  The  damage 
to  the  car  was  slight. 

The  Roepke  Floral  Co.  has  been  cut- 
ting some  good  bronze  mums. 

A  women's  committee  has  been  ap- 
pointed to  look  after  the  entertainment 
of  the  visiting  ladies  during  the  flower 
show,  November  13  and  14.  The  ladies 
of  Kentucky  and  Indiana  have  been  cor- 
dially invited  to  be  guests  of  the  State

Greenhouse  Heating 


Subscribers  are  invited  to  write  the 
editor  of  this  department  with  regard  to 
any  details  of  greenhouse  heating  that 
are  jiot  .understood.  When  information 
is  desired  regarding  the  capacity  of  boil- 
ers, or  the  amount  of  radiation  required 
for  a  greenhouse,  the  needed  temperatures 
should  be  stated  in  the  inquiry,  as  well 
as  the  amount  of  glass  in  the  side  walls, 
and  the  dimensions  and  general  arrange- 
ment of  the  greenhouses.  It  is  often  help- 
ful, also,  to  have  a  sketch  showing  the 
location  of  the  houses. 


ENOUGH  FLOW  PIPES. 

I  am  building  a  greenhouse  20x105, 
with  three  feet  of  wall  and  three  feet 
of  glass  above  the  wall,  making  the 
house  six  feet  high  at  the  eaves.  I  want 
to  know  if  a  3-inch  flow  pipe  with  six 
2-inch  returns  under  the  side  benches 
will  be  sufficient  to  heat  it  to  60  degrees 
in  zero  weather.  The  west  end  is  pro- 
tected by  the  boiler  house.  I  have  ce- 
ment piers  eight  feet  apart  for  the  re- 
turn pipes  to  rest  on.  There  is  a  drop 
of  sixteen  inches  in  the  length  of  the 
house  for  the  return  pipes.  I  shall  use 
a  Lord  &  Burnham  hot  water  heater. 

W.  L.  W.— N.  y. 

To  heat  a  house  20x105,  with  three 
feet  of  glass  in  the  side  walls,  we  should 
use  something  over  1,000  square  feet  of 
radiation  for  60  degrees  in  zero  weather. 
Rather  less  than  850  square  feet  of  ra- 
diation would  be  provided  by  the  plan 
suggested  by  the  inquirer.  By  careful 
attention  to  the  firing  in  the  coldest 
weather,  it  would  be  possible  to  main- 
tain a  temperature  of  practically  60  de- 
grees with  an  efficient  heater  of  ample 
size,  provided  the  flow  and  return  mains 
are  of  ample  size.  Using  a  3-inch  flow 
pipe  as  suggested,  it  would  not  be  pos- 
sible to  get  the  best  results  from  the 
system,  since  twelve  2-inch  pipes  105 
feet  long  are  rather  more  radiation  than 
it  could  handle  to  the  best  advantage. 

We  should  suggest  the  use  of  either 
two  3-inch  or  three  2%-inch  flow  pipes, 
the  latter  being  preferable,  in  addition 
to  twelve  2-inch  returns.  This  would 
bring  up  the  radiation  to  the  required 
amount  and,  as  the  increase  in  the  num- 
ber of  flow  pipes  would  improve  the  cir- 
culation, the  efficiency  of  the  coils  would 
also  be  increased.  If  three  flows  are 
used,  we  should  place  one  upon  each 
plate  and  the  other  two  feet  under  the 
ridge.  The  returns  could  be  arranged 
in  three  coils  of  four  pipes  each,  with 
one  coil  under  the  middle  bench. 

PIPING  FOR  FIVE  HOTBEDS. 

I  am  seeking  information  relative  to 
heating  beds  with  hot  water  pipes.  In 
the  beds  where  I  sprout  sweet  potatoes, 
I  wish  to  place  the  pipes  under  the  soil. 
Judging  from  what  I  can  learn,  this  has 
been  done  successfully.  I  have  a  Mon- 
inger  sectional  boiler,  estimated  to  carry 
2,000  feet  of  pipe.  I  am  planning  to 
have  five  beds,  fifty  feet  long.  The  top 
of  the  boiler  is  about  at  the  ground  level 
of  the  beds,  and  the  return  is  about 
three  feet  lower,  I  have  2-inch  and 
1%-inch  pipe  for  this  work,  but  the 
boiler  is  tapped  for  3-inch  pipe. 

If  the  pipes  were  placed  above  the 
soil  in  the  beds,  one  of  the  objectionable 
features  would  be  this:  In  order  to 
keep   the   pipes   sufficiently   above  •  the

"The  customer's  interest  first"— is  the  basis  of  the  KROESCHELL  standard.  This 
principle  makes  the  KROESCHELL  Policy  the  most  liberal  of  all  in  the  Green- 
house Boiler  business.  The  great  variety  of  boilers  that  we  make  places  us  in  a 
commanding  position.  It  is  the  KROESCHELL  principle  to  supply  only  the  type 
of  ;boiler  best  suited  for  the  conditions.  For  this  reason  we  always  furnish  the 
most  efficient  boiler  unit  in  every  case.

The  KROESCHELL  has  proven  its  worth  in  many  of  the  large  establishments  in 
this  country.  It  has  freqrently  been  selected  by  the  most  careful  buyers  in 
competition  with  all  other  types  of  boilers.  Its  efficiency  and  capacity  are  com- 
pletely beyond  any  other  boiler. 

KROESCHELL  BOILERS  have  no  bulky,  soot-accumu- 
lating surfaces— you  avoid  the  disagreeable  work  and 
trouble  indispensable  to  cleaning  boilers  with  compli- 
cated and  tortuous  back  and  forth  fire  passages. 


The  superiority  of  our  boilers  has  resulted  in  the  removal  and  abolishment  of 
hundreds  of  cast  iron  sectional  boilers— in  every  instance  KROESCHELL  BOILERS 
give  more  heat  with  the  same  piping  with  less  fuel.

ABSOLUTE  CONTROL  of  temperature  condi- 
tions in  your  greenhouses  in  June  and  January 
alike — is  what  you  get  from  the  easily  installed 
Morehead  System.  Just  attach  the  comparatively 
inexpensive  Morehead  Back-to-Boiler  System  to 
your  present  boiler  room  equipment  and  you  can 
dismiss  the  winter  months'  problem  from  your 
mind.! 

Substituted  for  the  steam  pumps  you  are  perhaps 
using  now — the  Morehead  System  will  eliminate 
sluggish  circulation  forever — and  keep  all  your 
steam  pipes  clear  of  condensation— returning  it  to 
the  boilers  immediately  as  pure,  hot  feed  water — 


in  just  the  condition  to  use  again  with  the  least 
consumption  of  fuel. 

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 
—as  well  as  copies  of  letters  from  progressive 
florists  who  find  the  Morehead  System  invaluable 
in  growing  prize-winning  flowers.

plants,  the  south  side  must  be  so  high 
as  to  cause  the  plants  to  be  spindling. 
Aside  from  the  sweet  potatoes,  I  wish 
also  to  use  the  beds  for  the  plants  trans- 
planted from  the  greenhouse  into  boxes 
or  flats.  Could  the  flow  pipe  rise  as 
much  as  six  feet  above  the  top  of  the 
boiler  without  retarding  the  flow  of  the 
,  water  f  How  far  should  the  coils  be 
sunk  below  the  soil  at  the  beginning  of 
the  return  and  how  much  fall  should 
they  have  in  sixty  feetf  How  many 
pipes  should  be  used  in  a  coil  and  how 
should  the  pipes  be  spaced?  I  shall  use 
glass  sashes,  hotbed  covers  and  muslin 
over  these  beds. 

The  horticultural  department  of  Pur- 
due University,  the  John  C.  Moninger 
Co.,  of  Chicago,  and  the  Frank  A. 
Benthey  Co.,  of  Tipton,  Ind.,  all  re- 
ferred me  to  The  Eeview  for  this  in- 
formation. I  hope  you  may  be  able  to 
advise  me.  C.  C. — Ind. 


While  a  better  circulation  could  be 
obtained  if  it  were  possible  to  have  the 
top  of  the  boiler  as  low  as  the  level  of 
the  returns,  good  results  can  be  secured 
with  the  boiler  located  as  described. 
The  plan  of  carrying  the  flow  pipe  up  to 
the  height  of  six  feet  is  a  good  one,  and 
if  it  can  be  run  at  approximately  this 
height  across  the  end  of  the  hotbeds, 
all  the  better. 

A  3-inch  main  flow  and  return  between 
the  boiler  and  the  beds  will  be  desirable 
and  these  mains  can  be  reduced  to  2-inch 
where  they  connect  with  the  last  bed. 
The  flow  and  return  pipe  for  each  bed 
should  be  2-inch.  While  it  will  be  ad- 
visable to  have  the  coils  below  the  level 
of  the  soil  in  the  beds,  the  flow  pipe 
may  be  carried  with  a  drop  of  about 
three  inches  along  the  north  wall. 

For  use  with  glass  sashes  during  the 
first  half  of  April,  three  li^-ineh  or  two 
2-inch  pipes  in  the  return  coils  will 
suffice.  With  three  pipes  they  would 
be  two  feet  apart,  while  with  two  pipes 
there  would  be  a  space  of  three  feet  be- 
tween them.  For  earlier  use  one  more 
return  will  be  required.  At  the  upper 
end  the  coils  should  be  covered  to  a 
depth  of  six  to  eight  inches  for  starting 
the  sweet  potatoes,  but  for  beds  in  which 
flats  are  to  be  placed  the  pipes  need  not

be  covered  more  than  four  or  five  inches. 
Just  how  much  fall  should  be  given  will 
depend  upon  the  care  given  to  the  grad- 
ing of  the  pipes.  Nothing  is  gained  by 
a  steep  slope  of  the  pipes.  In  fact, 
everything  else  being  equal,  the  less 
slope  given  the  pipes  the  better,  as  the 
higher  the  returns  are  carried  the  better 
will  be  the  circulation.  If  accurately 
graded,  the  drop  need  not  be  more  than 
one  inch  in  fifteen  or  twenty  feet,  but 
ordinarily  it  will  be  safer  if  the  fall  is 
one  inch  in  ten  or  fifteen  feet,  as  the  air

X^^  Liquid  May  Save  You  Thousands  of 
Dollars  in  an  Emergency 


Suppose  you  suddenly  discover  that  an  unusually  cold  spell  has 
cracked  the  heating  boiler  and  it  leaks  badly  ! 

Do  you  think  it  necessary  to  shut  off  the  heat  and  risk  enormous 
damage  to  the  contents  of  the  greenhouse? 

NOT  AT  ALL! 

"X"  Liquid  will  repair  any  leaky  or  cracked  boiler  in  half  an 
hour.    It  will  do  a  job  that  would  take  two  workmen  a  week. 

**X*' Liquid  will  do  a  $200 
Repair  Job  for  $10 

It  is  not  necessary  to  locate  the  leaks  or  cracks  or  know  how 
many  there  are. 

The  action  of  "X"  is  entirely  automatic.  When  poured  into  the 
boiler  it  mixes  with  the  water  and  soon  gets  to  every  break  in  the 
metal.  It  flows  through— strikes  the  air  -and  then  hardens  right  in 
the  hole.  This  stops  the  leak  or  crack.  The  heat  in  the  water  then 
sets  this  repair,  making  it  as  PERMANENT  and  as  SURE  as  any 
welding  job.  In  fact,  where  welding  won't  hold— as  on  cast-iron 
sections— "X"  Liquid  makes  a  PERFECT  repair. 

Makes  Boilers  Rustproof  and  Scaleproof 

Saves  Goal 

It  is  a  remarkable  fact  that  the  same  "X"  Liquid  used  for  repair- 
ing leaks  or  cracks  will  also  eliminate  rust  and  prevent  scale  from 
forming  on  the  walls.  This  means  greater  heating  efficiency  with 
LESS  COAL. 


_  "X"  contains  no  cement,  powder  or  other  injurious  ingredients. 
It  is  an  absolute  liquid,  a  scientific  process  for  making  boilers  LEAK- 
PROOF,  RUSTPROOF  and  SCALEPROOF.  Beware  of  inferior  im- 
itations which  are  trading  on  the  reputation  of  the  genuine  "X" 
Liquid. 

A  Strong 
Guarantee 

You  take  no  chance  in  using 
"X"  Liquid.  It  is  uncondition- 
ally guaranteed  to  make  good. 
If  it  fails  you  get  a  new  can— 
or  your  money  back. 

But  your  greatest  guarantee 
of  the  value  of  "X"  is  the  fact 
that  it  is  used,  sold  and  recom- 
mended by  t)9  per  cent  of  the 
manufacturers  of  boilers  and  rad- 
iators. It  is  used  by  the  United 
States  Government. 

If  your  boiler  cracks  or  leaks 
this  Winter  .you  don't  have  to 
worry  about  your  greenery  — if 
you  keep  "X"  Liquid  handy.  You 
can  do  the  repair  job  yourself— 
easily.

EAU  CIiAIRE,  WIS. 

John  Maves,  proprietor  of  the  West 
Eau  Claire  Greenhouses,  has  purchased 
the  twelve  acres  and  three  greenhouses 
on  Twelfth  street  which  belonged  to  the 
late  Wales  H.  Willard.  Except  for  one 
greenhouse,  which  will  be  combined 
with  a  store  and  office  on  the  present 
Sixth  avenue  site,  all  the  houses  will  be 
moved  to  the  newly  acquired  tract, 
where  a  rose  house,  28x100  feet,  will  be 
added.  The  unoccupied  land  will  be 
used  for  growing  bulbs  and  shrubbery. 
Gladiolus  bulbs,  of  which  Mr.  Maves 
grew  16,000  this  season,  will  be  among 
his  specialties.  Godfrey  calla  is  another 
bulb  he  will  raise  extensively.  Ten 
years  ago  Mr.  Maves,  who  was  a  brick- 
layer and  plasterer,  started  a  green- 
house in  a  shack  12x20  feet,  heated  by 
an  oil  stove.  Next  year  he  built  a  green- 
house 22x30.  Later  he  rented  a  tract 
of  land  along  the  lake  shore.  To  Mrs. 
Maves  he  gives  a  great  deal  of  credit 
for  his  progress,  for  she  attends  to  the 
sales  and  makes  up  the  design  work, 
and  during  the  first  four  years,  while  he 
made  expenses  by  laying  brick,  she  ran 
the  greenhouses  in  the  summer  as  well. 

OEMXJLOEE,  OKLA. 

After  many  years  of  service  with  the 
Pittsburgh  Cut  Fldwer  Co.  and  the  Mc- 
Callum  Co.,  of  Pittsburgh,  Pa.,  George 
W.  Marshall  has  moved  to  Okmulgee, 
Okla.,  where  he  opened  a  store  October 
23.  He  also  operates  a  greenhouse  range 
containing  18,000  feet  of  glass  and  is 
planning  to  erect  ten  additional  houses, 
40x100  feet.  He  grows  a  general  line 
of  cut  flowers,  plants  and  vegetables. 
Mr.  Marshall  is  distributing  blotters 
carrying  a  young  lady 's  picture  in  colors 
and  a  "Say  It  with  Flowers"  message, 
"Flowers  have  a  certain  sentiment 
about  them  that  nothing  else  conveys."

You  will  make  no  mistake 

in  placing  the  order  for  your  next  year's  greenhouses  now.  The  best 
grade  of  the  old  genuine  Louisiana  Red  Gulf  Cypress  is  scarce  and  will 
be  more  so  next  spring,  while  the  cost  of  labor  will  be  higher  than  it 
is  now. 

Our  patent  LEAK -PROOF  locked  gutter  has  proven  a  success.  If 
you  are  not  using  the  same  as  yet,  do  so  on  your  next  houses  and  we 
know  we  can  add  your  name  to  our  list  of  satisfied  customers.

TOIiEDO,   O. 


Tlie  Market. 

Business  was  good  during  last  week, 
with  plenty  of  mums  and  other  season- 
able stock.  Prices  on  mums  have 
dropped  somewhat.  Roses  are  plentiful, 
but  the  demand  is  not  so  good,  since 
mums  are  taking  their  place.  Carna- 
tions are  good  at  $4  per  hundred. 

Various  Notes. 

Toledo  is  just  now  trying  to  solve  the 
transportation  problem,  since  the  Rail 
Light  Co.,  which  controls  this  system, 
was  ousted  at  the  last  local  election. 
This  will  mean  a  lot  to  the  trade,  as  the 
Interurban  system  will  bring  passengers 
to  the  city  limits  only,  leaving  them  to 
get  in  as  best  they  cto.  Several  of  the 
principal  streets  have  been  torn  up  for 
weeks,  including  some  occupied  by  flo- 
rists. Mr.  Feniger,  of  Feniger's  Flower 
Shop,  on  Adams  street,  has  been  unable 
to  park  his  car  within  a  block  of  his 
store  for  at  least  one  month,  thereby 
causing  lots  of  extra  running  with  fu- 
neral work  and  deliveries. 

Metz  &  3ateman  have  made  a  num- 
ber of  improvements  in  their  store. 
Earl    Metz    is   at    home    with    the    flu. 

Jack  Helmer  reports  a  great  deal  of 
funeral  work,  which  necessitated  the 
use  of  an  additional  delivery  car. 

Mrs.  J.  B.  Freeman  had  orders  for  an 
important  wedding  November  8,  involv- 
ing the  use  of  several  hundred  of  the 
largest  mums,  pompons,  roses,  colonial 
bouquets,  wild  smilax  and  several  loads 
of  palms.  The  bride's  bouquet  consisted 
of  gardenias,  Kaiserin  roses  and  valley, 
in  a  shower;  that  of  the  maid  of  honor, 
of  Mock  roses  and  ribbon  to  match. 

Max  Spanner  reports  a  great  deal  of 
funeral  work. 

At  last  everybody  downtown  is  closed 
on  Sunday,  thanks  to  the  good  work  of 
our  committee.  C.  M.  B.

The  Max  ^et. 

The  market  was  well  supplied  the  first 
part  of  the  week,  but  a  few  cold  days 
and  nights  shortened  things  up  consid- 
erably and  the  later  part  of  the  week 
saw  a  scarcity  of  stock.  Business  is  now 
good. 

Chrysanthemums  are  clearing  well, 
the  larger  varieties  being  most  in  de- 
mand. Pompons  have  been  moving 
slowly.  Carnations  are  arriving  in  large 
quantities  and  clean  up  well,  though 
the  quality  is  poor  in  some  varieties. 
Dahlias  continue  to  arrive,  but  the 
trade  has  tired  of  them.  Calendulas 
find  a  ready  market  and  a  few  sweet 
peas  are  available.  There  is  little 
swainsona  in  the  market. 

The  cut  of  roses  has  dropped  a  little 
and  the  latter  part  of  the  week  saw  a 
scarcity.  Some  fine  Ophelia,  Columbia, 
Hadley  and  Premier  are  obtainable. 
American  Beauties  have  been  scarce. 
Violets  have  been  clearing  well.  A 
few  narcissi  are  arriving  and  selling  at 
$4  and  $5  per  hundred,  there  being  utile 
demand  for  them. 

Asparagus  is  rather  scarce,  since  most 
of  the  local  growers  are  out  of  crop  and 
the  southern  asparagus  is  arriving  in  a 
falling  condition.  Adiantum  is  much 
in  demand. 

Various  Notes. 

W.  I.  Potter,  who  has  been  living  out 
at  his  farm  in  North  Olmsted,  expects 
to  move  to  his  home  in  the  city  shortly. 

Edward  Burkhardt  is  gradually  recov- 
ering from  the  effects  of  rose  thorn

THE   TEST  OF  TIME 


C|  MANY  HOUSES  look  good  on  paper  and  when  they  are  new.  but  not  all  stand  the  only  real  test:  THE  TEST  OF  TIME.    You 
-^  will  find  among  the  "old-timers"  many  Dietsch  houses  that  have  stood  this  test  and  been  found  not  wanting.    Dietsch  houses  are 
d:signed  and  built  on  correct,  scientific  and  practical  principles.    It  is  not  our  aim  to  meet  our  competitors'  prices,  for  that  would  be 
inconsistent  with  good  materials.    To  the  grower  who  does  not  thoroughly  investigate  and  compare,  our  proposition  does  not  appeal. 

n  THIS  IS  NOT  THE  TIME  to  build  greenhouses,  but  it  is  a  good  time  to  think  about  it.  Dietsch  construction  has  stood  the  test  of 
■^  years.  Not  only  are  Dietsch  houses  among  the  oldest  standing  today,  but  you  will  find  each  house  an  improvement  over  the  lastj 
Our  construction  is  advancing  with  the  times.  We  advocate  nothing  that  has  not  proved  its  value.  There  will  be  better  houses  than 
we  are  now  building,  and  they  will  be  built  by  us. 

n  WHEN  PLANNING  YOUR  NEW  HOUSES,  it  will  pay  you  to  investigate  Dietsch  greenhouse  materials  and  methods  of  construe 
^  tion.  We  build  most  efficient  and  durable  houses  at  moderate  cost  Construction  of  wood  I  exclusively  or  wood  and  iron  combined, 
using  each  where  it  will  best  serve  its  purpose.

Can  You  Say—/  Am  Ready  7 

They  say  it's  going  to  be  a  hard  winter;  that  may  be  so— again  it  may  not— but  anyway,  are  you  ready? 
Are  you  prepared  for  the  blizzards  that  may  come  your  way— have  you  taken  into  consideration  the  zero 
weather  that  will  be  with  us  sooner  or  later— in  short,  are  you  on  the  safe  side? 

We  hope  you  are,  but  if  you  are  not  we  cannot  urge  you  too  strongly  to  use  PERMANITE  RIGHT  NOW. 

There  is  a  reason— and  you  know  it;  PERMANITE  is  elastic  and  stays  elastic;  no  matter  how  strong  the 

wind  may  be— PERMANITE  will  give  and  in  this  way  prevent  breakage  of  glass.    No  matter  how  cold  the 

weather  may  be— PERMANITE  does  not  harden,  cannot  fall  off  and  consequently  stays  wherever  it  has  been 

applied.  -.^^__,_ 

■^All  in  all— PERMANITE  is  the  ideal,  the  most  dependable  and  after  all  the  one  and  only  original 
Glazing  Cement  on  the  market— always  has  been  and  always  will  be  the  best  of  its  kind.  Winter  or  Summer, 
hot  or  cold,  PERMANITE  remains  unchanged,  never  hardens  and  is  guaranteed  to  outlast  putty  three  to 
four  times. 

If  you  cannot  say— I  am  ready -think  of  the 
old  proverb  "A  Stitch  in  Time  Saves  Nine." 


Yours  for  a  tight  house.

CINCINNATI,  O. 


The  Maxket. 

Single  violets  are  scarce  in  this  mar- 
ket, owing  to  the  moderate  weather  con- 
ditions, which  throw  the  plants  to  foli- 
age. Pompons  likewise  are  suffering 
and  arrive  in  a  soft  condition,  which 
may  be  due  to  overfeeding.  Heavy 
frosts  last  week  put  an  end  to  the  dah- 
lias and  no  one  is  sorry. 

Various  Notes. 

Gustav  Adrian  is  cutting  good  Chief- 
tain mums,  also  some  good  pompons  of 
Hill  origin,  which  are  good  sellers.  Mr, 
Adrian  has  the  reputation  for  being  the 
first  on  the  market  with  bulbous  stock. 

The  Thaden  Flower  Shop,  Peebles 
Corners,  is  an  up-to-date  place;  its  neat 
window  decorations  attract  much  atten- 
tion. 

G.  C.  Mickley  reports  that  his  busi- 
ness is  far  ahead  of  expectations  and 
that  he  is  well  satisfied  with  his  new 
venture.  Mr.  Mickley  is  an  expert  bas- 
ket maker  and  turns  out  some  baskets 
that  are  works  of  art. 

The  Paradise  Flower  Shop,  on  Seventh 
street,  recently  turned  out  a  picture  de- 
sign for  an  opening  that  showed  the 
work  of  an  artist  in  its  construction. 

Farrel  &  Co.  report  heavy  funeral 
work  last  week. 

H.  W.  bheppard  reports  some  work 
of  unusual  design  for  a  recent  debu- 
tante— eighteen  colonial  bouquets  of 
rainbow  shades  with  silk  holders  and 
showers  of  rainbow  ribbons.  The  flow- 
ers used  were  Sweetheart,  Butterfly 
and  Ward  roses,  violets,  narcissi  and 
forget-me-nots. 

The  Christmas  stock  of  cyclamens 
and  begonias  of  J.  A.  Peterson  &  Sons, 
Westwood,  is  better  than  ever  this  year. 

A  number  of  Cincinnati  florists  vis- 
ited the  chrysanthemum  show  at  Indi- 
anapolis this  week.  H.  E.  K. 

The  Madame  Butterfly  roses  from  the 
Joseph  H.  Hill  Co.  at  C.  E.  Critchell's 
are  finding  greater  favor  with  the  buy- 
ers than  Ophelia. 

Frank  Ball  and  B.  A.  Betz  have 
opened  a  wirework  establishment  at  16 
East  Third  street. 

Among  recent  visitors  were  Charles

A  Glazing  Putty 
of  Real  Value 


.'<-  >■  V' 


In  all  our  experience  and  investigation 
we  had  never  found  a  preparation  for 
bulbing  over  the  outside  of  a  greenhouse 
that  was  quite  satisfactory,  until  we  ran 
across  PERMANITE.  This  was  about 
four  years  ago.  At  that  time  we  set  about 
investigating  the  merits  of  PERMANTTB 
and  proceeded  to  watch  the  results  of  its 
application  to  greenhouse  roofs. 

Last  year  we  were  entirely  convinced 
of  its  high  quality  and  durability,  and  ac- 
cepted the  western  agency  for  the  sale  of 
these  goods.  ,"     ■       "^ 

We  applied  PERMABHTE  to  hundreds 
of  greenhouse  roofs,  over  almost  every 
part  of  the  United  States. 

The  results  obtained  were  highly  satis- 
factory indeed.  Glass  roofs  of  all  kinds, 
both  old  and  new.  were  made  water-tight 
and  air-tight,  saving  thousands  of  plants 
from  being  spoiled  by  water  dripping  on 
them  and  saving  many  hundreds  of  tons  of 
coal  by  making  the  roofs  proof  against 
the  wind  and  storms  of  winter. 

We  give  PERMANITE  our  unqualified 
endorsement  and  recommend  it  highly  for 
all  kinds  of  glazing. 

We  have  a  very  large  stock  on  hand 
in  our  warehouse  and  can  ship  imme- 
diately.

EYERTITE 

GLAZING  CEMENT  X  ''OH  BOY''  Automatic  Glazing  Gun 

Evertite  Glazing  Cement  remains  elastic  at  all  times— forming  a  waterproof  and  air- 
tight joint  over  the  sashbar.  Evertite  Glazing  Cement  will  stand  the  extreme  expan- 
sion and  contraction  that  a  greenhouse  is  subject  to  and  will  not  check  or  crack  — nor 
will  it  ^har den.  '      ;       > 

You  know  what  putty, will  do.  Just  think  how  vastly  superior  Evertite  Glazing 
Cement  is  tojputty. 

Evertite  Glazing  Cement  applied  with  a  new  "Oh  Boy"  Gun  (see  cut  above)  makes 
an  ideal  combination.  This  gun,  which  is  the  last  word  in  glazing  guns,  allows  Evertite 
Glazing  Cement  to  flow  in  a  uniform  consistency  all  the  time.  Note  the  ease  with  which 
this  gun  can  be  handled.  Think  of  what  you  have  used  and  draw  your  own  conclusion.

CHARCOAL 

is   the    Florists'   best 

Soil  Ventilator 

Charcoal  should  be  used  in  powder  form  (extra 
fine,  size  20)  and  when  mixed  with  pot  and  bed 
soils  promotes  the  circulation  of  air  and 
moisture  so  that  plant  roots  may  absorb  the 
nourishment  which  the  charcoal  makes  avail- 
able. 

Charcoal  absorbs  from  the  air  large  quantities 
of  carbon  dioxide,  nitrogen  and  other  gases 
essential  to  plant  growth  and  yields  them  up 
to  the  plant  as  required. 

An  inch  or  more  of  size  1  (nut)  at  the  bottom 
of  beds  will  provide  proper  drainage  and  assist 
greatly  in  equalizing  the  soil  moisture.

suppose  you  plant  1000  bulbs,  6  inches  each  way

are  making  $7B0.00  groas  on  260  square  feet  of

The  shortage  of  field  grown  Carnation  plants 
and  the  extraordinary  high  prices  asked  for 
same  can  be  turned  to  good  advantage  by  filling 
a  tiench  or  two  in  your  Carnation  bouses  with 
Snapdragons.  We  offer  for  September  and  Oc-

from  carefully  selected  seed  and  the  kind  that 
will  start  growing  the  minute   you  plant   them.

Here  it  is-an  AGMCO  right  on  top  of  the  Hotel  Pennsylvania 
in  New  York  City.    It's  Mr.  Statler's  pride. 

But  here's  the  point  for  YOU— it's  AGMCO  construction  throughout. 

And— weigh  this  well— Mr.  Statler  is  a  shrewd  buyer.  He  got  where  he  is  now  by  always 
knowing  what  he  wants,  and  always  getting  what  he  wants  by  investigating  before  he 
buys  instead  of  after. 

Do  your  investigating  early.     We're  open  for  inspection  NOW. 

When  do  you  want  to  begin?

That  is  the  title  of  our  conservatory  catalogue 
and  it  expresses  best  the  kind  of  greenhouse 
we  build  for  you. 

Before  giving  you  our  designs  and  estimates 
we  thoroughly  study  your  proposition.  We 
take  into  consideration  the  style  of  archi- 
tecture of  your  surrounding  buildings,  the 
purpose  for  which  the  greenhouse  is  intended, 
the  landscape  effect,  etc.

Some  Special  Things 
About  Our  Pipe  Frame  House 


Take  just  the  clamp  column  fittings,  for  ex- 
ample. 

You' have  seen  and  no  doubt  used  the  one  bolt 
fitting  and  know  that  it  sometimes  slips. 

You  are  familiar  with  the  two  bolt  one,   and 

know  that  it  likewise  has  a  way  of  giving  way 

under  extra  strains. 

Admittedly  we  have  made  and  used  both  kinds. 

Hut  that  was  then. 

This  is  now. 

All  the  column  fittings  on  our  Standard'Pipe 
Frame  or  Semi-Iron  houses  are  now  three  bolt 
clamps. 

Hut  that  isn't  all,  they  are  malleable  iron,  in- 
stead of  cast. 

You  can  screw  the  bolts  up  until  you  strip  the 
threads  and  the  clamps  will  never  crack. 

Now  take  a  look  at  our  ridge. 

See  that  piece  of  steel  screwed  to  the  ridge  and 
onto  both  bars. 

There's  no  need  to  tell  you  how  important  they 
are  in  strengthening  the  construction. 


Ridge  showing  how  ridge 
bracket  is  used. 


The  no-leak  roof  bar 

splice  castings  as 

made  at  the 

purlin. 


Then  there's  the  splice  bar  fitting. 

No  one  makes  one  quite  like  it.  See  these  bolts 
going  from  top  to  bottom.  Not  screws,  but 
bolts. 

The  metal  tongue  between  the  ends  is  just  one 
more  precaution  we  take  to  make  it  leak-tight 


Notice  how  strong  and  workmanlike  the  whole 
thing  is.  in  combination  with  the  pipe  purlin 
to  which  the  bar  is  held  by  a  strong  galvanized 
steel  strap. 


And  then  there  is  the  Giant  Arch  itself. 

But  space  is  too  small  here  to  tell  you  even  a 
few  of  its  strong  points. 


But  it's  fully  described  and  illustrated  on  page 
42  of  the  Handy  Hand  Book. 

If  you  haven't  one,  send  for  one. 

If  you  want  to   "talk   house,"  say   when  and 
where,  and  we'll  be  there.

The  Florists^  Review 


November  20,  1919. 


A  Field  of  Healthy  Lilies,  Purchased  by  the  American  Bulb  Co.,  for  its  Customers. 


Some  Pertinent  Facts 

Laium  Giganteum 

The  question  to  decide  is  this: 
"Is  it  Price  or  Quality  you  are 
looking  for  in  Lily  Bulbs  ?" 

Before  our  Mr.  A.  Miller  left  for 
Japan,  he  was  asked  by  our 
many  customers  to  bring  back 
only  the  best  of  this  year's  small 
crop.  To  enable  him  to  accom- 
plish this,  it  was  necessary  to 
reduce  the  qi^antity  obtained  to 
less  than  one-half  what  he  start- 
ed out  to  purchase.  It  required 
more  than  $loo,O0U  investment, 
which  the  American  Bulb  Com- 
pany has  made.  We  invested 
this  large  sum  for  a  small  quan- 
tity of  Bulbs. 

Lily  Bulbs  could  have  been  purchased  in  Japan  at  a  much  lower  price  than  we  paid, 
but  the  price  paid  governed  the  quality  obtained. 

We  herewith  show  photographs,  one  of  a  field  that  is  diseased,  another  of  a  healthy 
field.  The  diseased  field  shows  the  tops  entirely  dead.  On  the  healthy  bulbs  the  tops 
remain  until  dug;  only  the  foliage  turns  yellow  at  maturity.  In  diseased  fields,  the 
stem  starts  to  die.  The  bulbs  in  a  diseased  field  swell  and  when  dug  have  a  very  de- 
ceptive appearance.  This  is  due  to  the 
fact  that  the  diseased  plant  has  no  top 
whereby  evaporation  can  take  place. 
In  the  healthy  plant  evaporation  goes 
on  continually,  and  after  the  Bulb  is 
dug,  it  starts  to  shrink.  So  size  does 
not  determine  the  exact  quality  of  d 
Lily  Bulb,  nor  does  appearance. 

Satisfaction 

Some  people  are  satisfied  and  made  happy  with  a 
low  price,  then  made  sad  with  the  results.  Others 
know  and  demand  quality.  The  stability  of  the 
American  Bulb  Company  is  being  built  on  the  rock 
of  quality.  Its  clients  embrace  a  country-wide  list 
of  Klorists  who  have  learned  that  every  purchase 
made  from  the  American  Bulb  Company  is  a  sat- 
isfactory purchase. 

Don't  let  a  few  dollars  stand  in  the  way  of  your  possess- 
ing the  best  quality  of  Lily  Bulbs  to  be  had  this  season.

About  Lily  Bulbs 


Remember 

Our  shipper  not  only  con- 
trols the  best  quality,  but 
our  shipper  has  18  years' 
experience,  and  we  offer 
both  to  you. 

Notice 

Our  shipper  has  received  letters 
and  holds  offers  in  his  posses- 
sion  from  the  most  reliable  con- 
cerns in  America,  who  are  fight- 
ing hard  to  secure  his  Bulbs 
away  from  us,  knowing  that  he 
possesses  and  controls  the  real 
quality  of  Lilium  Giganteum 
grown  in  Japan. 

Is  not  all  this  evidence?  Do  not  competitors,  in  trying  to  get  our  source  of  supply  away 
from  us,  admit  that  they  realize  and  know  that  there  is  only  one  place  where  the  as- 
surance of  high-class  Lily  Bulbs  can  be  had,  and  that  this  is  the  source  that  the 
American  Bulb  Company  has? 

This  letter  came  to  us  unsolicited: 

But  it  was  no  surprise — we  knew  the  Bulbs 


Inspecting  Lily  Fields  in  the  Mountains  of  Japan.    (Our  Mr.  A.  Miller,  Lily  Bulb  Experts  and 

the  Horticultural  Inspector.)

SfeSY  ROSES 

We  have  ever  offered 


CRUSADER.  (Montgomery.)  A  big,  strong-growing  variety,  robust  and  rugged  in  every  characteristic. 
The  growth  is  ^eavy  and  the  flower  stems  are  strong  and  heavy,  producing  very  little  blind  wood.  It  is  free 
growing  and  free  flowering,  and  the  blooms  are  truly  characteristic  of  the  variety — big  and  double,  and,  in 
color,  a  rich,  velvety  crimson.  These  large,  heavily  petaled  blooms  open  perfectly  and  are  amply  supported 
by  the  strong-necked,  heavy  flower  growths.  Crusader  takes  water  well  and  will  keep  under  almost  any  condi- 
tions. The  plant  is  free  from  canker  and  does  not  show  any  tendency  to  die  at  the  union  of  scion  and  stock. 
It  breaks  freely  from  the  hard  wood  and  is  a  strong-growing,  free-flowering  red  Rose. 

If  you  want  a  real  winner,  vou 
•  should  buy   Crusader  NOW.

PILGRIM.  (Montgomery.)  In  color,  a  beautiful  shade  of  bright  rose-pink.  The  bud,  which  opens  per-

opment is  perfect  in  color  and  form  of  flower.  Its  pronoimced  tea  fragrance  will  attract  all  rose  lovers.  It  is 
prolific  and  highly  productive  of  first  quality  blooms.  The  stems  are  straight  and  strong,  and  there  is  no  tend- 
ency to  weaken  at  the  neck.  It  takes  water  freely,  and  this  quality  makes  it  a  good  Rose  for  the -store  man,

CHAIN  STORES  ^ 

CHOP  COSTS 

Principles  of  chain  store  selling  have  been,  applied  in  the  flower  business 
by  several  members  of  the  trade  with  notable  success.  One  of  thebest  known 
of  them  is  Al  Barber,  who  is  extending  a  string  of  shops  through  Ohio.  He 
relates  his  guiding  ideas  in  this  enterprise  to  Review  readers. 


HAIN  stores  offer,  in  addi- 
tion to  the  opportunity  of 
putting    into    more    wide- 
spread practice  the  meth- 
r         ods  that  one  has  found  suc- 
v_J  1^      cessful  in   selling  flowers, 
1   ^S.      the  advantage  of  buying  in 
^\^f  ^     quantities  large  enough  to 
secure  the  lowest  possible 
price   and   of  passing  this 

§ction  along  to  the  customer.  The 
dation  of  their  success,  therefore, 
in  what  is  a  rule  for  success  in  any 
less,  giving  the  customer  the  best 
possible  quality  and  service  for  his 
money  at  all  times. 

This  Ijas  been  a  hobby  of  mine.  The 
business  of  the  Park  Flower  Shops  in 
four  Ohio  cities  is  the  result  of  endeavor- 
ing always  to  give  the  customer  exactly 
what  he  or  she  wants  at  what  are  gen- 
erally known  as  popular  prices.  Upon 
this  foundation  the 
success  of  the  chain 
store  system  rests. 
Without  that  basis 
the  saving  in  dollars 
and  cents  by  quan- 
tity buying  would 
not  be  sufficient  to 
win  success  for  the 
florist. 

Lately  I  have 
opened  a  wholesale 
department  in 
Cleveland,  known  as 
Barber's  Flowers,  to 
purchase  supplies 
for  my  retail  stores 
in  the  different 
cities.  The  com- 
bined purchases 
effect  a  considerable 
saving,  but  this  is  a 
benefit  that  is 
passed  on  to  the 
customer.  It  is  part 
of  that  service 
which  we  aim  to 
give  in  order  to 
hold  and  to  increase 
the  number  of  our 
patrons. 

Meetings  Help. 

To  that  end  I 
have  found  exceed- 
ingly valuable  meet- 
ings of  department 
heads  and  employees 
to  discuss  stock  and 
market  conditions, 
to  learn  the  full  de- 
tails regarding  the 
stock  that  is  arriv- 
ing and,  last  but  not 
least,   to    talk    over 


By  ALBERT  B.  BARBER 


selling  problems  in  order  to  increase  the 
efficiency  of  all  the  sales  force. 

At  the  monthly  meetings  at  which  the 
more  important  subjects  are  discussed, 
only  department  heads  are  present. 
Matters  are  taken  up  in  turn  with  re- 
gard to  each  store. 

Lining  Up  Customers. 

At  the  last  meeting  we  discussed  in 
detail  the  customer's  viewpoint  on  enter- 
ing the  store,  just  what  one's  first  im- 
pression is,  what  percentage  of  flower 
buyers  know  what  they  want  on  enter- 
ing and  how  they  should  be  approached. 
The  attitude  and  bearing  of  salesmen 
toward  customers  plays  a  large  part  in 
the  business  and  the  idea  of  service 
should  always  be  foremost  in  the  sales- 


'♦The  Voolworth  of  the  Florists'  Trade. 


man 's  mind,  with  flowMS  and  plants  our 
excuse  for  being  iri^l^siness. 

The  meetings  of  the  employees  are 
valuable  in  bringing  together  members 
of  the  force  in  a  spirit  of  cooperation. 
They  assist  wonderfully,  also,  in  lining  up 
regular  custodiers.  At  such  times  are 
discussed  ways  of  effecting  sales,  so 
Ihat  all  may  benefit  from  the  experience 
of  each  person.  In  this  way  we  develop 
a  surprising  amount  of  energy  and  vim. 
Through  our  salesmen,  and  through 
advertising,  the  trade  can  educate  the 
public  to  use  flowers  more  extensively 
for  enjoyment,  to  purchase  them  not 
only  for  special  occasions,  such  as  wed- 
dings and  funerals  and  holiday  remem- 
brances, but  also  for  the  personal  pleas- 
ure to  be  obtained  from  them.  The 
public  should  be  induced  to  buy  them 
more  often,  not  merely  for  the  sake  of 
beautifying  the  home  but  to  give  that 
atmosphere  of  com- 
fort and  good  cheer 
that  flowers  lend. 
Our  customers  must 
be  taught  that  for 
this  purpose  flowers 
are  well  worth  the 
expenditure  and 
should  be  purchased 
much  more  than  in 
the  past.  In  fact, 
they  should  be 
bought  in  much  the 
same  manner  and 
with  the  same  fre- 
quency as  one  buys 
a  box  of  candy  or 
articles  of  similar 
pleasure-giving  pur- 
pose. This  sort  of 
purchase  is  that  cul- 
tivated in  our  chain 
of  stores  and  is  one 
that  should  be  in- 
creased. 

Dally  Reports. 

To  the  wholesale 
store  come  each  day 
reports  from  the  re- 
tail shops  in  Cleve- 
land, Akron,  Youngs- 
town  and  Warren. 
These  give  in  detail 
records  of  all  trans- 
actions, with  a 
signed  slip  from  the 
banker  in  each  city. 

These  reports 
guide  also  in  the 
matter  of  supplies. 
Economical  buying 
is  an  important  fea- 
ture of  a  system  of 
chain  stores;  indeed, 


The  Florists^  Review 


NOVEMBKR    20.    1919. 


economical  operation  is  a  prime  factor 
throughout. 

We  make  our  direct  appeal  to  the 
middle  and  poorer  classes,  both  of  whom 
are  fond  of  flowers  and  are  willing  to 
spend  a  portion  of  their  income  for 
them.  Our  stores  are  always  located 
in  the  section  of  the  city  where  the 
transient  trade  is  strong.  By  handling 
only    the    freshest    stock,    procured    in 


large  quantities  at  advantageous  prices, 
and  giving  good  value  for  a  moderate 
charge  and  courteous  treatment  to  all, 
we  find  it  comparatively  easy  to  gain 
regular  patrons.  Although  not  strictly 
cash,  most  of  the  business  is  conducted 
on  that  basis.  We  tap  the  great  mass 
known  as  the  American  public  and  from 
this  raw  material  are  creating  flower 
buyers. 


FINDING  SUCCESSORS. 


For  Those  Who  Have  Succeeded. 

In  my  short  span  of  life  it  has  been 
my  lot  to  watch  the  florists'  business 
develop  from  its  infancy  into  the  enter- 
prise which  it  is  today.  My  earliest 
recollection  of  it  was  when  it  was  hum- 
ble indeed,  there  being  not  more  than  a 
dozen  commercial  growers  in  the  city  in 
which  I  live,  and  none  o^  those  of  that 
time  would  be  looked  upon  as  an  up-to- 
date  business  today.  In  this  time  I  have 
seen  new  enterprise  after  enterprise 
started,  some  to  prosper,  some  to  fail; 
some  to  grow  and  become  model  estab- 
lishments, others  to  die  slowly,  much  the 
same  as  the  stock  which  did  not  receive 
the  proper  care.  In  every  case  where  suc- 
cess has  crowned  the  efforts  of  an  enter- 
prise, you  will  find  that  the  proprietor 
was  a  man  who  was  willing  to  learn;  that 
is,  a  man  who  was  always  anxious  to 
learn  how  the  other  man  did  it,  to  com- 
pare those  methods  with  his  own  and,  if 
they  showed  better  results,  to  adopt 
them  or  perhaps  to  improve  u])on  them. 
Those  were  the  days  when  experience 
was  the  only  teacher  and  a  costly  tutor 
it  proved   at   times. 

Pioneers  Lacked  Business  Training. 

When  we  consider  the  future  possibil- 
ities of  the  business,  any  wise  grower 


will  realize  that  at  this  time  we  are  not 
much  above  the  foundation.  But  those 
old  pioneers,  who  have  blazed  the  way  to 
what  the  business  stands  for  today,  have 
laid  a  foundation  that  no  man  need 
hesitate  to  build  upon.  Their  business 
methods  when  judged  by  the  standards 
of  today  may  have  been  crude,  but  let 
us  not  lose  sight  of  the  handicap  under 
which  most  of  them  worked.  They  were 
for  the  most  part  men  whose  early  lives 
had  been  spent  in  the  bothies  and  gar- 
dens of  private  estates  of  England,  Scot- 
land and  Germany,  where  they  were 
taught  only  the  florists'  business  (or  I 
might  say  profession) ;  they  got  no  busi- 
ness training,  which  is  equally  essential. 
When  they  emigrated  to  this  country, 
often  they  would  be  obliged  to  take  a 
private  place  again  until  money  enough 
was  accumulated  to  embark  in  business. 
And  by  honest  and  square  dealing  many 
of  these  humble  beginnings  have  devel- 
oped into  enterprises  that  today  com- 
mand the  respect  of  the  business  world. 

Dangers  of  Specialization. 

But  in  the  florists'  business,  as  in 
every  other  business,  times  have 
changed.  These  are  days  of  specializ- 
ing. Take,  for  instance,  the  young  man 
who  decides  to  nlake  this  business  his 
life 's  work.  And  there  is  nothing  more 
needful  and  I  know  of  no  better  oppor- 
tunity for  an  ambitious  young  man  than 


The  Newest  of  the  Chain  of  Park  Flower  Shops,  recently  opened  at  Warren»  O. 


the  production  of  flowers.  But  has  ln> 
the  same  chance  that  our  forefathers 
had?  If  he  associates  himself  with  one 
who  makes  a  specialty  of  roses,  he  is 
put  into  a  rose  section  and  the  conse- 
quence is  that  he  knows  nothing  bul 
roses.  Or  perhaps  he  lives  with  one  of 
the  carnation  kings;  he  has  no  opportu- 
nity to  know  anything  but  carnations. 
The  same  applies  to  plantsmen;  with 
them,  what  will  he  ever  know  about 
growing  cut  flowers?  Now,  while  he 
may  become  an  expert  in  whichever  line 
he  selects,  yet  it  is  a  psychological  fact 
that  this  will  tend  to  make  him  narrow 
in  his  ideas.  A  man  may  go  through 
life  successfully  as  a  good  producer  of 
any  of  these  flowers,  but  financial  suc- 
cess, while  it  is  to  be  desired,  is  not 
everything.  This  is  one  reason  why  I 
claim  that  education  is  even  more  im- 
portant today  than  ever.  If  one  of  our 
large  ranges  is  in  need  of  a  manager,  it 
requires  a  man  with  a  well-trained  mind, 
as  well  as  one  skilled  in  his  calling,  to 
take  charge  of,  we  will  say,  a  range  of 
roses.  Think,  for  instance,  how  suscep- 
tible they  are  to  disease,  the  care  that 
has  to  be  given  to  heat  and  ventilation, 
the  vigilance  that  has  to  be  exercised  in 
watching  for  numerous  pests  and  the  ac- 
curacy required  in  timing  a  crop  for  the 
most  profitable  market. 

For  Life  and  Death. 

Now  compare  the  florist's  training  of 
today  with  that  of  the  trained  nurse 
and  you  will  see,  when  you  analyze  their 
work,  that  there  is  not  much  difference. 
The  florist's  duty  is  to  keep  his  plants 
healthy  and  productive,  while  that  of 
the  nurse  is  to  restore  sick  people  to 
health.  It  is  life  and  death  in  both 
cases;  in  the  former  it  is  the  life  of  the 
business  that  is  at  stake  and  in  the  lat- 
ter that  of  the  patient.  Now,  the  as- 
pect I  wish  to  bring  out  most  promi- 
nently is  the  training  each  receives.  In 
most  training  schools  the  nurse  has  four 
years  of  practical  hospital  work,  lec- 
tures by  experts  on  various  subjects  and 
textbooks,  with  examinations  from  time 
to  time  before  she  repeives  her  diploma. 
Now,  is  it  not  just  as  essential  for  young 
men  to  be  properly  trained  for  the  flo- 
rists'  business? 

The  question  is,  how  many  of  our 
large  growers  are  looking  far  enough 
into  the  future  to  consider  the  education 
of  their  successors?  It  is  true  that  many 
of  our  colleges,  and  especially  those 
that  are  devoted  to  agriculture,  are  es- 
tablishing chairs  of  horticulture,  but 
many  worthy  youjig  men  find  it  impos- 
sible to  avail  themselves  of  this  oppor- 
tunity. Any  young  man  who  is  under- 
going practical  training  in  a  range  of 
greenhouses,  though  tied  down  to  a  spe- 
cific thing,  is  yet  absorbing  cultural 
methods.  Let  him  add  to  this  training 
careful  and  well-selected  literature  on 
floral  subjects  (there  is  plenty  of  this  to 
be  had),  let  him  take  one  of  the  many 
correspondence  courses  in  business  meth- 
ods and  he  will  soon  find  that  his  mind 
is  becoming  broadened;  a  rose  or  carna- 
tion section  will  not  hold  him  long.  Ex- 
perience has  taught  me  that  a  range  of 
houses  is  the  easiest  place  in  the  world 
for  one  to  get  into  a  rut  and,  once  we 
become  established  in  a  rut,  it  soon  be- 
comes a  grave.  Tate. 

PORTLAND  TO  CLOSE  SUNDAY. 

Sunday  closing  in  the  florists'  trade 
has  spread  across  the  continent.  Port-

6-day  per  week  florists.  At  the  October

the  following  resolution  was  adopted: 

Whereas,  The  leadin^r  florists  throughout  the 
United  States  advocate  and  are  putting  into  prac- 
tice the  rule  of  closing  their  retail  establish- 
ments  on    Sunday,

the  best  Interests  of  employers  and  employees 
that  the  city  retail  stores  be  closed  on  Sunday 
except  at  times  when  a  holiday  which  demands 
floral  worls  occurs  on  that  day.

RIBBON  VIEW  NOT  ROSEATE. 

What  the  prospects  are  to  secure 
fuller  supplies  of  ribbons  in  this  trade 
are  indicated  in  the  following  clipping: 

RIBBONS,     RIBBONS,     RIBBONS,     WHO     HAS 

THE    RIBBONS? 
Getting    to    Be    a    Gama    to    Find    Merchandise, 

The  ribbon  trade  is  feeling  tlie  same  shortage 
of  merchandise  that  the  broad  sillt  trade  is  feel- 
ing. One  large  selling  agent  said  yesterday  that 
they  could  not  begin  to  get  the  quantity  of  rib- 
bons that  tliey  needed  to  take  care  of  the  busi- 
ness they  were  receiving,  and  so  far  there  does 
not  seem  to  be  any  relief  in  sight. 

AM  sorts  of  styles  and  varieties  are  in  de- 
mand, with  wide  fancies  of  any  sort  in  marlced 
demand.  Warp  prints,  embroidered  effects,  tin- 
seled effects,  as  well  aa  plain  colors,  are  selling 
and  it  is  difficult  to  find  anything  for  any  s*rt 
of   nearby  delivery. 

In  mill  quarters  the  ribbon  market  is  little, 
if  any,  different  from  the  mill  situation  in  the 
broad  silk  trade.  Unrest  seems  to  be  ruling  all 
qnarters.  and  as  a  result  production  is  far  from 
what  it  should  be.  No  improvement  is  in  evi- 
dence, so  most  quarters  seem  to  have  made  up 
their  minds  to  make  the  best  of  tlie  present. 


FLYING  FLOWERS. 


Airplane  Delivery  at  Toronto. 

Ill  Toronto,  Ont.,  the  ceremony  of 
flag-raising  which  was  the  signal  for 
the  opening  of  the  Navy  League  cam- 
paign Wednesday,  November  5,  was 
also  the  opportunity  for  a  quite  new 
departure  in  flower  delivery. 

During  the  ceremony  three  airplanes 
were  circling  the  city  hall  tower  and 
just  as  soon  as  the  blue  flag  had  been 
raised  by  Miss  Church,  the  sister  of  the 
mayor,  one  of  the  airplanes  swung  into 
position  high  above  her  and  a  silk  para- 
chute was  dropped.  Swaying  gently 
from  the  parachute  was  a  long-handled 
basket  full  of  the  new  Frank  W.  Dun- 
lop  rose.  The  white  parachute,  trimmed 
with  Union  Jacks  and  long,  blue  stream- 
ers, sailed  safely  down,  narrowly  escap- 
ing being  wrecked  by  some  wires,  and 
was  carried  from  the  landing-place  by  a 


sailor  boy  of  the  naval  brigade  to  the 
platform,  where  amid  hearty  applause 
little  Miss  Britannia  presented  them  to 
Miss  Church.  The  chairman  of  the  To- 
ronto committee,  Mr.  Stapelis,  then  an- 
nounced that  the  flowers  had  been  de- 
livered by  airplane. 

This  is  the  first  time  in  America  that 
flowers  have  been  thus  presented  from 
the  skies.  Credit  is  due  to  Dunlop's,  of 
Toronto,  who  arranged  the  aerial  de- 
livery at  the  request  of  their  customers, 
whom  they  told  that  there  is  no  way  in 
which  one  cannot  "Say  It  with  Flow- 
ers." 


WHY  DOLLARS  ARE  CHEAP. 

Money  in  circulation  throughout  the 
country  November  1  totaled  $5,816,923,- 
779,  compared  with  $5,943,801,171  No- 
vember 1,  1918,  and  $5,806,571,880  Octo- 
ber 1,  1919,  according  to  treasury  esti- 
mates made  public  last  week.  The  per 
capita  wealth  in  money  in  circulation 
November  1,  1919,  was  estimated  by  the 
treasury  at  $54.63,  compared  with  $55.84 
November  1,  1918,  and  $54.58  October  1, 
1919.  This  estimate  was  made  on  the 
basis  of  106,481,000  persons  in  the  coun- 
try November  1. 

HARDY  SALVIA. 

Hardy  salvia,  otherwise  known  as 
meadow  sage,  is  a  perennial  which 
should  be  in  every  hardy  garden  col- 
lection. Beginning  to  bloom  in  the  first 
jiart  of  August  and  continuing  until  well 
along  in  October,  when  other  blue  flow- 
ers have  passed  and  gone,  it  is  indeed 
a  welcome  addition.  This  plant  has 
many  varieties,  biit  the  two  principally 
used  are  Salvia  smirea  and  Pitcheri. 
The  former  is  a  Rocky  Mountain  variety 
and  has  beautiful  sky-blue  flowers.  It 
can  be  grown  easilj'  from  seed,  which  is 
started  in  a  greenhouse  or  hotbed  the 
latter  part  of  March. 

Salvia  Piteheri,  the  most  popular  va- 
riety and  one  of  the  best  sellers,  is  of 
more  branching  habit  and  has  larger 
flowers.  The  color  is  of  a  striking,  rich 
gentian  blue.  This  is  the  most  conspicu- 
ous of  all  blue  flowers  in  the  perennial 
garden.  This  variety  is  grown  from 
divisions  or  cuttings,  the  latter  being 
the  more  practical.  No  valuable  space 
is    needed;    fifty   or    100   plants   packed 


close  together  in  a  cool  house  or  in  deep 
flats  in  December  will  produce  many 
cuttings  during  February  and  March, 
giving  sufficient  stock  for  the  entire 
season.  They  need  the  same  treatment 
in  the  propagating  bench  as  hardy  pinks, 
or  mums.  Thomas  J.  Murphy. 


USINGER'S  UTTERANCES. 

C.  Peterson  &  Sons,  of  Escanaba, 
Mich.,  were  so  busy  on  Armistice  day 
that  it  was  impossible  to  close  the  store 
for  the  half  holiday  in  honor  of  the 
soldiers.  To  emphasize  the  spirit  of 
"Say  It  with  Flowers"  week,  this" firm 
decorated  the  graves  of  all  soldiers 
gratuitously,  besides  donating  many 
flowers  for  the  various  festivities  given 
in  honor  of  them  November  11. 

In  the  copper  country.  Dale  & 
Nicholas,  of  Hancock,  Mich.,  grow  all 
of  the  flowers  grown  in  this  neighbor- 
hood, as  they  have  the  only  greenhouses 
here.  This  year  10,000  feet  of  glass 
were  built,  giving  them  a  complete 
range  of  30,000  feet.  A  general  assort- 
ment of  cut  flowers  and  plants  is  grown 
and  some  fine  Cincinnati  begonias  and 
poinsettias  were  seen.  The  entire  out- 
put is  disposed  of  in  three  up-to-date 
stores,  one  each  in  Calumet,  Hancock 
and  Houghton.  A  Wliite  truck  and  a 
Ford  supply  the  motive  power  in  deliv- 
ery. Messrs.  Dale  and  Nicholas  have 
been  growers  in  this  region  for  many 
years  and  note  with  pride  that  today 
they  alone  are  in  the  field,  because  of 
honest  and  efficient  growing  and  retail- 
ing. 

It  is  a  concrete  fact  that  "Say  It 
with  Flowers"  will  live  as  a  motto,  for 
E.  R.  Tauch,  of  Marquette,  Mich.,  has 
it  imprinted  in  cement  above  his  name 
on  the  new  store  which  he  opened  re- 
cently. 

Alphonse„Peters,  of  Marquette,  Mich., 
who  leased  the  Sorenson  greenhouses 
last  spring,  speaks  of  a  steady  growth 
in  his  business.  Funeral  work  especial- 
ly has  been  heavy  and  at  the  reeent 
gathering  of  Shriners  he  had  the  decora- 
tion of  the  banquet  hall. 

Eli  Cross,  Grand  Rapids,  is  showing 
some  fine  chrysanthemums.  Repairs  at 
the  greenhouses  are  soon  to  be  done. 
He  is  adding  a  storeroom  for  cut  stock 
and  supplies.  W.  T.  U.

APOSTLES  OF  PUBLICITY. 


Henry  Penn. 

Our  foremost  advocate  of  publicity  is 
Henry  Penn,  better  known  throughout 
the  trade  as  Penn,  of  Boston;  or  Pub- 
licity Penn.  An  able  and  successful 
business  man  is  our  friend  Penn;  older 
men  may  profitably  harken  to  his  mes- 
sage and  younger  men  may  safely  adopt 
his  methods.  The  liberal  use  of  printers' 
ink  and  the  "sweet  perfume  of  cour- 
teous service"  are  the  talismans  in  the 
phenomenal  growth  of  his  private  busi- 
ness. With  a  generosity  truly  char- 
acteristi*  of  big  and  successful  men,  he 
never  misses  an  opportunity  to  diffuse 
his  favorite  gospel  for  the  good  of  fel- 
low-craftsmen. It  is  impossible  to  over- 
estimate the  elevating  influence  of  this 
man,  exerted  both  by  precept  and  by  ex- 
ample, upon  our  profession.  That  the 
commercial  flower  business  is  being  sure- 
ly raised  in  status  is  chiefly  attributable 
to  the  farseeing  efforts  of  florists  of  the 
type  of  Henry  Penn.  A  generation  hence, 
let  us  hopej  they  will  be  the  general  rule 
instead  of  the  exception.  As  chairman  of 
our  national  publicity  committee,  his 
services  have  been  given  gratis  and  are 
annually  bearing  abundant  fruit  in  the 
shape  of  increased  business  for  the 
florists  of  the  nation.  He  has  a  firm 
belief  in  the  future  of  his  calling  and 
endeavors  to  communicate  his  faith  to 
his  fellow-workers.  It  is  impossible  to 
meet  this  remarkable  man  without  be- 
ing singularly  impressed  by  the  strength 
of  his  personality  and  the  sincerity  of 
his  purpose. 

Oeorge  Asmus. 

Responsibility  gravitates  to  the  man 
capable  of  shouldering  it  and  power  to 
him  who  knows  how.  In  the  promotion 
of  all  human  activities,  convincing  talk- 
ers and  lucid  writers  have  their  proper 
places,  but  willing  and  energetic  work- 
ers are  of  more  vital  importance  than 
either.  Forceful  men.  possessing  the 
power  of  leadership  and  the  courage  of 
their  convictions,  are  the  big  factors. 

I  am  speaking,  of  course,  of  George 
Asmus,  president  of  the  S.  A.  F.  in  1911 
and  a  wheel-horse  in  national  publicity 
work  since  the  inception  of  the  move- 
ment. His  ability  to  work  hard  and  his 
readiness  to  tackle  new  problems  of  im- 
portance mark  him  as  an  invaluable 
asset  to  the  organized  trade.  His  long 
experience  justly  entitles  him  to  a 
prominent  place  in  its  councils. 

As  chairman  of  the  publicity  finance 
committee,  Mr.  Asmus  has  had  many 
weighty  matters  to  handle  and  countless 
burdens  to  bear.  That  this  work  is  being 
performed  in  the  most  businesslike 
manner  and  that  the  publicity  funds  are 
being  employed  to  the  best  possible  ad- 
vantage is  the  unanimous  verdict  of  all 
parties  concerned.  The  perspective 
gained  only  by  the  lapse  of  time  will 
properly  show  the  value  of  the  achieve- 
ments of  this  tireless  man  for  the  com- 
mon good.  With  a  firm  belief  in  the  effi- 
cacy of  publicity,  practiced  on  a  broad 
scale,  as  the  means  of  working  out  the 
fitting  salvation  of  his  profession,  he 
talks  publicity  with  the  enthusiasm  and 
zeal  born  of  deep-rooted  conviction  and 


is  always  sure  of  an  attentive  audience. 
The  career  of  George  Asmus  in  the  or- 
ganized trade,  begun  early  in  life,  may 
be  studied  with  interest  and  profit  and 
we  heartily  recommend  it  to  the  young 
members  of  the  craft. 

J.  Fred  Ammaim. 

Within  the  ranks  of  the  organized 
trade  there  are  many  men  of  eminent 
ability.  For  executive  office,  the  selec- 
tion of  the  proper  man  at  the  right  time 
is  the  prime  desideratum.  When  at  St. 
Louis  in  1918  the  S.  A.  F.  chose  J.  Fred 
Ammann  to  be  its  standard  bearer  for 
the  year  following,  it  consciously  or  un- 
consciously picked  out  the  right  man. 
We  are  convinced  of  this  because  the 
president  of  the  Society  of  American 
Florists  has  proved  himself  to  be  heart- 
ily in  accord  with  the  dominant  note  in 
the  new  program — publicity. 


Mr.  Ammann 's  speech  at  the  F,  T.  D. 
meeting  in  Buffalo  may  be  regarded  as 
an  exposition  of  his  views  upon  the  all- 
absorbing  subject  of  greater  publicity 
for  flowers.  In  the  course  of  his  re- 
marks, he  paid  tribute  to  the  retail  sec- 
tion, pointing  out  that  thus  far  it  had 
borne  the  burden  of  the  campaign  and 
declaring  this  unjust,  inasmuch  as  in 
all  other  lines  the  manufacturers 
financed  the  advertising  of  their  wares, 
the  retail  merchants  merely  tying  up  lo- 
cally. He  asserted  that  a  movement 
was  on  foot  to  get  the  growers  properly 
interested  in  the  publicity  movement  and 
asked  for  the  indulgence  of  a  little  more 
time. 

This  is  perhaps  the  most  constructive 
and  the  broadest  view  yet  presented  of 
the  question  now  uppermost  in  the  minds 
of  all  florists.  Time  and  continued  con- 
certed effort  are  required  to  bring  the 
great  plan  to  its  proper  fulfillment;  but, 
ihanks  to  the  perseverance  and  labor  of 
men  of  the  caliber  of  J.  Fred  Ammann, 
the  time  is  not  far  distant  when  the  na- 
tional publicity  of  florists  will  be  the 
admiration  of  the  entire  business  world.

GROWERS   GIVE    SUPPORT. 

I  wish  to  thank  The  Eeview  for  its 
kind  interest  in  the  Buffalo  plan  for 
publicity.  The  average  grower  does  not 
realize  his  responsibility  in  disposing  of 
his  goods.  When  we  solicited  funds  for 
this  campaign  the  growers  thought  it 
was  the  retailers'  job  to  pay  the  bills 
for  advertising.  The  F.  T.  D.  meeting 
was  an  eye-opener  to  us  in  the  way  of 
general  publicity.  Any  city  having  the 
F.  T.  D.  convention  is  well  repaid  for 
the  trouble  and  expense  of  the  meeting. 
The  retailers,  seeing  this  wonderful  op- 
portunity, worked  on  it  while  it  was 
fresh  in  the  minds  of  the  public,  and 
we  conceived  the  idea  which  we  are 
now  perfecting. 

Mr.  Ammann,  being  a  grower,  had  a 
wonderful  power  over  the  growers,  and 
without  him  we  could  not  have  suc- 
ceeded. The  grower  must  realize  that 
his  future  depends  on  the  demand  that 
he  creates.  Eighteen  months  ago  the 
Retail  Florists'  Association  called  in 
the  growers  and  told  them  they  were  not 
asking  enough  for  their  goods  to  make 
a  living.  Every  grower  in  that  meet- 
ing confessed  that  he  was  not  making 
any  money.  The  supply  weakened  right 
after  that,  and  prices  soared.  The  result 
was  that  every  grower  made  good  money 
last  year. 

They  must  realize  that  unless  the  won- 
derful demand  keeps  up  they  will  be 
back  where  they  were  before  the  money- 
making  period  happened.  We  have  all 
got  to  go  to  school,  as  it  were,  and  learn 
how  to  sell  flowers.  The  business  in 
my  opinion  has  advanced  more  in  the 
last  two  years  than  it  did  in  the  pre- 
ceding fifteen.  We  are  just  beginning 
to  create  business,  and  that  in  itself  is 
the  salvation  of  the  trade. 

We  have  been  closed  Sundays  since 
July  1.  Our  November  sales  are  ahead 
of  last  year's,  when  we  thought  we  could 
not  get  along  without  Sunday  business. 
Now  all  the  ktores  in  this  citv  are  closed. 


Even  with  the  flu  sales  of  last  year, 
business  this  year,  if  not  up  to  that 
mark,  is  far  ahead  of  normal  years. 

Robert  A.  Scott. 


PUBLICITY    COMMITTEE    CHOSEN. 

I  have  read  with  considerable  interest 
the  article  which  appeared  in  your  issue 
of  November  13  pertaining  to  the  pub- 
licity plan  of  the  Buffalo  florists. 

J.  F.  Ammann,  president  of  the  S.  A. 
F.,  spoke  to  100  retailers  and  growers 
at  a  meeting  held  October  25  and  cre- 
ated so  much  enthusiasm  that  a  plan  was 
prepared.  At  a  meeting  held  October  30 
thirty-two  growers,  retailers  and  whole- 
salers subscribed  $6,500  for  publicity 
work  in  the  city  of  Buffalo.  Since  that 
time  the  committee  has  added  subscrip- 
tions, so  that  now  we  have  seventy-five 
retailers  and  growers  out  of  a  possible 
100,  with  a  subscription  of  $9,400.  The 
subscriptions  for  the  rest  of  the  growers 
and  retailers  will  bring  this  fund  up  to 
$10,000. 

At  a  meeting  held  November  6  the  fol- 
lowing publicity  committee  was  elected 
by  the  subscribers  to  this  fund:  Wal- 
lace H.  Eiss,  chairman;  Robert  Scott, 
Mark  Palmer,  Arthur  Kowalski,  Harold 
Brookins,  C.  F.  Treichler  and  Ed.  Lehde. 

This  publicity  plan  can  be  worked  out 
in  any  sized  city  where  there  are  a  num- 
ber of  growers  and  retailers.  It  simply 
is  a  matter  of  education,  especially  with 
the  growers.  The  retailers  know  the 
value  of  advertising,  but  the  growers  do 
not.  Mr.  Ammann  certainly  stirred  up 
tlie  growers  and  retailers  in  this  vicin- 
ity, and  I  believe  if  Mr.  Ammann  could 
visit  some  of  the  larger  cities  he  could 
work  up  an  enthusiasm  which  would  re- 
sult in  the  making  of  many  publicity 
funds.  He  certainly  has  the  ability  and 
power  to  put  it  up  to  the  growers.

Western  New  York  Florists' 
Publicity  Fund.

INDIANA  FLORISTS'   FALL   SHOW. 


Joint  Meeting  Draws  Many. 

November  13  and  14  was  held  the  first 
big  exhibition  and  social  event  that  the 
Indiana  State  Florists'  Association  has 
undertaken  since  the  beginning  of  the 
recent  war.  Ideal  weather  helped 
toward  the  great  success  of  the  show. 

The  Indiana  association  had  for  its 
special  guests  the  members  of  the  Ken- 
tucky State  Florists'  Association  and 
also  the  members  of  the  association  who 
are  returned  soldiers.  In  the  exhibition 
room  at  the  Claypool  hotel,  Indianapo- 
lis, floated  the  service  flag  with  its 
eleven  stars,  representing  Carl  Hack, 
C.  C.  Griffith,  Morris  Marer,  Ernest  L. 
Lytz,  V.  A.  Blubaugh,  C.  B.  Sayre,  Oscar 
Carlstedt,  E.  E.  Jones,  Frank  Luebking, 
8.  H.  Young  and  Edwin  M.  Nelson. 

The  representation  from  the  Kentucky 
association,  which  has  in  its  enrollment 
many  New  Albany  and  Evansville  peo- 
ple, was  fairly  large,  but  not  so  great  as 
had  been  anticipated. 

The  morning  of  November  13  was  left 
open  for  the  staging  of  the  various  dis- 
plays and  the  judging  began  about  3 
o'clock  in  the  afternoon.  George 
Schulz,  of  Louisville,  Ky.,  George  As- 
mus,  of  Chicago,  and  H.  B.  Corner,  of 
Urbana,  111.,  were  the  judges.  As  the 
judging  took  considerable  time,  during 
which  the  doors  were  locked  and  all  ex- 
cluded from  the  hall,  the  majority  took 
advantage  of  the  theater  party  which 
was  held  at  the  Circle.  There  were, 
however,  those  who  preferred  to  re- 
main at  the  hotel  and  renew  old  ac- 
quaintances and  make  new  ones  while 
awaiting  the  decision  of  the  judges. 

Entertainment. 

In  the  evening  a  theater  party  was 
held  at  Keith's.  About  175  were  pres- 
ent. The  entertainment  committee,  of 
which  E.  E.  Temperley  was  chairman, 
had  taken  for  its  slogan,  "It  pays  to 


advertise,"  and  had  decorated  the  thea- 
ter for  the  occasion.  Large  baskets  of 
exhibition  chrysanthemums,  roses  and 
carnations  were  on  either  side  of  the 
stage,  under  which  were  large  placards 
bearing  the  inscription,  "Joint  meeting 
Indiana-Kentucky  State  Florists'  Asso- 
ciations, Claypool  hotel,  November  13- 
14."  Each  act  was  presented  with  an 
elaborate  bouquet  of  cut  blooms  and 
during  the  entertainment  jokes,  bring- 
ing in  the  names  of  well-known  florists, 
were  made. 

Friday  morning,  November  14,  was 
left  open  for  visiting  the  various  stores 
and  establishments  in  the  city.  Friday 
afternoon  a  bowling  contest  was  held 
at  the  Marion  Club,  in  which  both  the 
ladies  and  the  men  participated.  The 
highest  ladies  won  silver  vanity  cases, 
while  the  men  won  pearl-handled  knives. 

Banquet. 

Friday  evening  a  banquet  was  held 
in  the  Chateau  room  of  the  Claypool 
hotel,  at  which  171  were  seated.  Presi- 
dent Anders  Rasmussen  gave  the  wel- 
coming address,  which  was  responded  to 
by  August  Baumer,  of  Louisville.  Be- 
tween courses  various  entertainments 
were  given  and  following  the  banquet 
addresses  were  made  by  Irwin  Berter- 
mann,  E.  G.  Hill,  Professor  H.  B.  Dorner 
and  Mrs.  Nanz,  of  Owensboro,  Ky.  Mr. 
Hill  told  of  his  interesting  trip  out  west 
and  of  various  personal  experiences. 
His  praise  for  the  roses  in  the  west,  par- 
ticularly at  Portland,  was  generous.  The 
growing  and  climatic  conditions  there 
are  so  far  superior  to  those  in  the  mid- 
dle-west and  east  that  he  did  not  rec- 
ognize one  of  his  own  seedlings  and 
made  inquiry  as  to  the  variety. 

Professor  Dorner  told  of  the  growth 
of  the  floricultural  department  at  the 
University  of  Illinois  and  urged  all  the 
members  of  the  Indiana  association  to 
petition  the  state  legislature  for  finan- 
cial aid  for  development  of  the  course 
at  Purdue  University. 


Mrs.  Nan::  rjave  a  short  but  interest- 
ing talk  ill  beualf  of  the  ladies,  in  re- 
sponse to  Irwin  Bertermann's  and  Pres- 
ident Rasmussen 's  complimentary  re- 
marks upon  the  ladies  present. 

After  the  banquet  a  dance  was  held 
in  the  Riley  room,  with  the  entire  exhi- 
bition as  decorations.  Tables  and  cards 
were  in  readiness  for  those  preferring 
to  play. 

One  of  the  numbers  of  the  evening 
was  the  song,  "Say  It  with  Flowers," 
the  words  of  which  appeared  in  a  recent 
issue  of  The  Review. 

The  ExMbition. 

The  Riley  room  of  the  Claypool  hotel, 
Indianapolis,  was  filled  with  an  unusu- 
ally good  collection  of  plants  and  blooms 
for  the  Indiana  State  Florists'  Associa- 
tion's flower  show  November  13  and  14. 
Excellent  roses,  carnations  and  chrysan- 
themums were  staged  near  floor  mirrors, 
in  which  they  were  reflected.  Huge  cro- 
tons,  which  stood  eight  feet  high,  with 
palms,  boxwoods  and  bay  trees,  formed 
a  background.  White  pergolas  with  vin- 
ing  ivy  and  variegated-leaved  plants 
helped  complete  the  scene. 

Naturally,  chrysanthemums  predomi- 
nated. From  the  smallest  to  the  larg- 
est, singles,  pompons,  anemones  and 
seedlings,  all  were  there.  The  Univer- 
sity of  Illinois  had  an  unusually  attrac- 
tive display  of  seedlings,  some  of  which 
were  excellent.  A  small  round  pink 
pompon  and  one  similar  in  yellow  were 
meritorious.  The  Mount  Greenwood 
Cemetery  Association,  Chicago,  exhib- 
ited some  splendid  seedlings  of  the  large 
type.  Baur  &  Steinkamp's  100  sprays 
of  pompons  created  a  great  deal  of  fa- 
vorable comment  from  the  public;  these 
were  in  all  colors  and  shades  and  ex- 
ceedingly attractive.  The  Joseph  Hill 
Co.  and  E.  G.  Hill  Co.,  of  Richmond,  and 
Hartje  &  Elder,  of  Indianapolis,  had 
Turner  in  fine  form.  There  were  not,  how- 
ever, as  many  large  single-stem  blooms 
displayed  as  were  expected.    The  plants

exhibited   were   not,  in   comparison,   so 
good  as  the  cut  blooms. 

Boses  Good. 

The  exhibit  of  roses  was  good.  Pre- 
mier was  unexcelled.  Fred  H.  Lemoli 
&  Co.,  of  Richmond,  had  this  in  ideal 
condition  and  took  first  premium  for 
twenty-five  pink  blooms.  Madame  But- 
terfly was  also  conspicuous.  Berter- 
mann  Bros.  Co.,  Indianapolis,  had  an 
elaborate  floral  fountain  arrangement 
featuring  Madame  Butterfly,  which  was 
given  special  mention.  Columbia,  Rus- 
sell, Killarney,  Ophelia,  Milady  and  va- 
rious other  roses  added  color  and  vari- 
ety. The  new  rose,  F.  W.  Dunlop,  from 
John  H.  Dunlop,  of  Toronto,  Can.,  looked 
promising. 

The  carnation  exhibit  was  not  so  large 
as  had  been  hoped,  but  the  stock  shown 
was  all  excellent. 

Numerous  special  exhibits  attracted 
great  attention.  A  table  of  potted  or- 
chids of  several  varieties,  surrounded 
by  adiantum,  was  an  unusual  and  beau- 
tiful feature.  A.  Wiegand's  Sons  Co., 
Indianapolis,  arranged  a  dinner  table 
featuring  roses  and  violets.  Vaughan 's 
Seed  Store,  Chicago,  had  a  group  of  ex 
hibition  mum  plants.  Henry  W.  Rie- 
man,  Indianapolis,  showed  three  baskets 
of  new  begonias. 

The  public,  through  invitation  of  the 
various  florists,  were  admitted  by  ticket 
and   throngs   viewed  the   exhibition.

NEW  YOEK. 


The  Market. 

With  cooler  weather  and  the  supply 
of  outdoor  flowers  out  off,  the  market 
is  somewhat  firmer  in  tone,  with  prices 
better  in  a  few  lines.  There  is  a  heavy 
supply  of  chrysanthemums,  which  pre- 
vents anything  like  fancy  prices  being 
obtained  for  these  flowers.  In  yellows, 
Marigold  and  BonnaflFon  are  prominent 
and  are  to  be  had  in  many  grades  of 
quality.  Some  good  Timothy  Eaton  is 
coming  in,  also  White  Chieftain.  Yel- 
low varieties  were  in  large  demand  for 
the  Yale-Princeton  football  game  Nov- 
ember lij,  but  the  stock  available  was 
sufficient  for  many  such  occasions;  con- 
sequently prices  were  not  at  all  inflated. 
It  was  different  with  violets,  however, 
which  Friday  evening  had  reached  the 
$3  mark,  with  $4  as  an  asking  price. 
By  noon  Saturday  prices  had  declined 
to  $1  and  lower.  There  was  little  specu- 
lation noticeable  in  the  market,  as 
many  of  the  violet  growers  seem  careful 
to  cover  the  sales  in  sections  contiguous

to  the  point  where  the  game  is  called. 

Roses  are  in  good  supply,  with  the  ex- 
ception of  red  varieties,  which  are  not 
plentiful.  Some  growers  look  for  a 
material  shortening  of  supply  after 
chrysanthemums  move  out,  which  will 
jtrobably  be  earlier  than  usual  this  year, 
for  the  j-ea-son  that  weather  conditions 
have  interfered  with  the  growth  of 
])lants,  in  that  they  have  not  been 
l)reaking  freely.  American  Beauty  is 
in  shorter  supply  and  prices  are  much 
stronger  in  consequence.  Hybrid  teas 
now  are  of  excellent  quality  and  are 
meeting  a  fair  demand,  each  day's  sup- 
jily  cleaning  up  pretty  well. 

tarnations  are  not  ovcrplentiful,  but, 
despite  the  fact  that  the  quality  is  poor, 
they  clean  up  well,  $0  i)er  hundred 
being  obtained  for  the  best.  White 
varieties  drag  a  little  on  account  of  a 
heavy  supply  of  other  white  flowers. 

Orchids  are  short  and  the  supply  is 
not  at  all  regular.  There  is  a  good  de- 
mand for  them,  in  spite  of  the  high 
])rices  asked.  There  is  no  doubt  that 
cuts  have  been  hehl  for  the  week  of 
Xovembor  17,  which  promises  well  for 
the  growers  of  these  flowers  on  account 
of  the  more  than  ordinarily  important 
social  functions  scheduled  to  take  place. 
The  top  price  on  cattleyas  outside  of 
hybrid  varieties  is  $2.. 10. 

Few  Easter  lilies  are  coming  in;  in 
fact,  they  are  hardly  a  commodity  and 
the  price  for  such  as  can  be  obtained  is 
$30  to  $35  per  hundred.  Lily  of  the 
valley  is  in  fair  supi)ly,  but  the  quality 
is  poor.  Prices  for  the  best  range  from 
$10  to  $15  per  hundred  sprays.  A  few 
gardenias  are  arriving.  The  stems  are 
rath?r  short.  Their  movement  is  good 
at  $6  to  $9  per  dozen. 

There  is  a  good  su])ply  of  sweet  peas, 
1  ut  the  qualitj'  is  nothing  to  boast  of. 
With  cooler  weather,  crops  now  matur- 
ing should  be  greatly  improved.  Paper 
White  narcissi  are  i)lentiful  and  sales 
at  times  are  slow;  about  50  cents  per 
dozen  is  the  top  price.  Calendulas,  snap- 
dragons, bouvardias  and  eallas  are  in 
good  sujtply  and  clean  up  well. 

Various  Notes. 

It  is  announced  that  tlr.^  business 
formerly  carried  on  by  Riedel  &  Meyer, 
at   49    West    Twenty-eighth   street,   will 


in  future  be  conducted  under  the  name 
of  Riedel  &  Williams.  Fred  C.  Williams, 
a  brother-in-law  of  Mr.  Riedel,  is  the 
new  partner.  The  business  will  be  con- 
tinued under  the  management  of  Mr. 
Kiedel. 

A.  L.  Young,  of  54  West  Twenty- 
eighth  street,  has  leased  the  basement 
of  the  Coogan  building,  at  Twenty-sixth 
street  and  Fifth  avenue,  and  with  Her- 
man Weiss,  now  of  130  West  Twenty- 
eighth  street,  will  conduct  a  wholesale 
florists'  business  in  part  of  the  quarters. 

Dolansky  &  McDonald,  of  Boston, 
are  occupying  part  of  the  store  of  i*.  J. 
Smith,  131  West  Twenty-eighth  street, 
where  thoy  are  sj)ecializing  in  orchids, 
the  (punters  being  in  charge  of  Wm. 
Sullivan,  formerly  with  the  United  Cut 
Flower  Co. 

Peter  F.  McKenney,  the  retail  florist 
at  503  Fifth  avenue,  is  recovering  from 
a  serious  attack  of  bronchitis,  which 
has  confined  him  to  his  home  for  several 
days. 

The  body  of  Oscar  Hauschild,  fornu'r- 
ly  of  the  Hotel  McAlpin  flower  store, 
arrived  from  Denver  Friday,  November 
14,  and  the  fun-'ral  was  held  Sunday, 
Xovend)er  1(5.  It  seems  that  he  was 
riding  in  an  automobile  near  Denver, 
on  his  way  to  a  shooting  range,  when, 
in  going  over  rough  ground,  his  gun 
was  accidentally  discharged.  He  bled 
to  death  before  surgical  assistance  could 
be  obtained. 

Arthur  Herrington,  of  Madison,  X.  J., 
lectured  Wednesday  evening,  X'ovember 
19,  before  the  Horticultural  Society  of 
Xew  York  at  the  American  Museum  of 
Xatural  Historv  on  "The  Fall  Planting 
of  Bulbs." 

The  Von  Tilzer  song,  "Say  It  with 
Flowers,"  is  being  featured  at  the 
Palace  theater  this  week  by  Miss  Grace 
La  Rue,  a  not?d  vocalist.  Local  florists 
are  assisting  in  the  setting  of  the  piece. 

While  automobiling  in  N^ew  Jersey 
Sunday,  Xovember  16,  at  Hackensack, 
Wm.  KessliT,  who  was  accompanied  by 
his  wife,  collided  with  armther  machine, 
tlie  collision  resulting  in  j)am^ul  injuries 
to  Mrs.  Kessler.  After  a  feW  days  in 
a  hos])i'.al,  she  is  now  recov?ring  at  her 
home    in    Lynbrook,   L.   I.

Xotice  of  the  death  of  John  T.  Shore, 
of  Harrison,  N.  Y.,  appears  in  this 
week's  obituary  column. 

The  roof  garden  seems  likely  to  be- 
come a  feature  in  the  future  construc- 
tion of  large  residential  buildings  in 
Xew  York.  Three  large  buildings  are 
now  under  construction  in  which  pro- 
vision for  gardens  is  being  made:  Hol- 
brook  Hall,  at  100  West  Fifty-fifth 
street;  the  Presada,  at  50  Central  Park, 
w?st,  and  the  Town  House  Club,  at  the 
corner  of  Central  Park,  west,  and  Sixty- 
seventh  street. 

The  horse  show,  discontinued  through 
the  war,  reo])ened  in  Madison  Sipiare 
Garden  Monday,  Xovember  17.  An 
elaborate  decoration  was  installed, 
calling  for  quantities  of  shrubs,  foliage 
and  other  decorative  materials.  The  in- 
terior* of  the  building  is  transformed 
into  an  Englisli  village,  the  ar?na  being 
the  village  green,  encircled  by  a  laurel 
hedge.  The  design  is  taken  from  the 
village  of  Chilham,  near  (Canterbury. 
Cut  flowers  and  plants  are  liberally 
used.  J.  H.  Pepper. 


DEUTZIA  FOR  EASTER.

gracilis  be  handled  to  get  it  in  bloom

ture ?  E.  A.  R.— 111. 

Start  the  jilants  ten  to  (deven  weeks 
in  advance  of  the  time  you  want  them 
in  flower.  Move  to  a  lower  temperature 
as  they  open,  if  they  are  a  little  earlier 
than  you   want  them.  C.  W.

A  GAP  IN  PINK  MUMS. 

Undoubtedly  many  members  of  the 
trade,  especially  chrysanthemum  special- 
ists,havc  noted  that  there  is  a  yearly  lull, 
or  gap,  or  hiatus  in  the  production  of 
jtink  chrysanthemums,  on  account  Ox  the 
lack  of  what  may  be  termed  early  mid- 
season  varieties  of  that  color.  Such  a 
lull,  too,  is  regrettable.  For,  whatever 
difference  of  opinion  there  may  be  as  to 
the  danger  of  rushing  the  mum  season 
unduly  by  placing  extremely  early  mums 
on  the  market,  there  is  no  doubt  that  the 
mum  crop,  after  it  is  fully  started, 
should  be  so  complete  and  continuous 
as  to  accord  with  the  strong  demand. 
The  demand  should  not  be  checked,  at  its 
height,  by  the  absence  of  the  most  desir- 
able   colors.      The    appetite    for    mums, 


when    once    really    aroused,    should    bf 
tempted  and  titillated  in  every  way  pes 
sible. 

•  So  other  growers,  besides  A.  F.  J. 
Baur,  of  Baur  &  Steinkamp,  Indianapo 
lis,  have  been  troubled  more  or  less  by 
the  gap  in  pink  mums.  But  Mr.  Baur, 
aided  by  his  wide  experience  in  hybrid- 
izing, went  to  work  to  fill  the  gap.  Some 
of  the  results  are  indicated,  in  some 
slight  degree,  by  the  four  photographs 
reproduced  on  the  opposite  page. 

"About  four  years  ago,"  says  Mr. 
Baur,  "feeling  the  need  of  more  pink 
varieties  in  the  commercial  class  of 
chrysanthemums,  we  started  out  to  get 
them  on  our  own  hook.  We  had  nothing 
worth  while  between  Unaka  and  Chief- 
tain. So  we  used  Unaka  and  the  later- 
blooming  pink  varieties  which  we  had 
in  stock,  and  made  a  number  of  crosses. 
Most  of  the  seedlings  bloomed  pink  and 
we  have  selected  these  four  as  being 
worthy  of  dissemination  and  a  place 
among  the  commercial  sorts.  They  all 
have  a  good,  lively  color  and  enough 
substance  to  stand  handling.  We  have 
since  done  considerable  crossing  among 
all  the  colors  and  have  a  number  of 
other  varieties  coming  on,  which  will 
be  disseminated  from  time  to  time.  We 
might  add  that  the  four  varieties  illus- 
trated cover  the  space  between  Unaka 
and  Chieftain,  the  first  one  blooming  al- 
most as  early  as  Unaka  and  the  last  one 
finishing  up  as  Chieftain  comes  on." 


CLEANINQ  OUT  MIDOE. 

Practically  every  plant  of  our  entire 
chrysanthemum  crop,  consisting  of  sev- 
enty-five varieties,  is  affected  with  the 
chrysanthemum  midge.  We  have  de- 
cided to  destroy  every  stock  plant,  pur- 
chase new,  clean  stock  and  fumigate 
after  the  old  stock  is  thrown  out.  But 
as  the  chrysanthemum  house  adjoins 
othor  houses,  where  carnations,  smilax, 
sweet  peas,  snapdragons  and  potted 
plants  are  grown,  would  not  a  strong 
fumigation  with  tobacco  dust  be  in-  ^ 
jurious  to  such  crops  as  sweet  peas  and 
smilax?  I  would  be  obliged  to  fumi- 
gate in  every  room  adjoining  the  mum 
house. 

Would  not  a  fumigation  with  cyanide 
of  potassium  rid  the  house  of  midge  as 
well?  If  not,  please  explain  just  how 
tobacco  dust  is  used  in  fumigating. 

Is  it  not  preferable  to  grow  chrys- 
anthemums on  raised  benches  instead  of 
solid  beds  and  would  it  not  be  better  to 
have  the  chrysanthemum  room  parti- 
tion?d  from  the  others  to  avoid  draft, 
which  seems  to  cause  mildew? 

W.   V.   L.— Wis. 


Naturally  a  strong  fumigation  of  to- 
bacco or  anything  else  would  be  injuri- 
ous to  crops  of  any  kind  of  flowers.  If 
you  feel  that  fumigation  will  be  injuri-

ous,  why  not,  as  suggested,  throw  out 
all  the  stock  plants  and  let  the  matter 
rest  that  way  for  some  time?  I  do  not 
know  whether  there  are  any  other 
plants  in  the  house  that  the  midge  will 
attack,  bijt  if  all  the  plants  that  are 
affected  with  it  are  destroyed,  there  is 
a  good  chance  of  getting  rid  of  it. 
Cyanide  of  potasatum  is,  I  believe,  a 
valuable  fumigant,  though  I  have  never 
been  able  to  use  it  without  injuring  the 
plants.  When  tobacco  dust  is  used  as  a 
fumigant,  make  a  small  heap  of  two  or 
three  handfuls  and  on  top  of  each  heap 
put  a  few  drops  of  kerosene  where  you 
can  ignite  it. 

It  is,  as  you  say,  preferable  to  grow 
mums  on  raised  benches  instead  of  solid 
beds. 

Referring  to  your  question  as  to 
whether  it  is  not  better  to  have  the 
mum  house  partitioned  from  the  other 
houses,  we  believe  in  having  a  separate 
house  and  then  if  one  does  have  a  dis- 


ease or  insects  in  the  house,  it  can  be 
better  fumigated. 

I  think  if  you  will  throw  out  all  your 
old  plants,  you  will  not  have  to  worry 
much  about  fumigating  at  this  time. 
Then  in  the  spring,  before  buying  new 
stock,  I  suggest  that  you  clean  out  the 
house  of  all  vegetable  life  and  give  it 
a  thoroughly  good  fumigation  with  sul- 
phur, burning  it  in  the  house  for  an 
entire  night,  so  that  all  life  will  bo 
destroyed.  In  this  way  there  should 
be  no  future  trouble  with  a  pest  of  this 
kind.  C.  H.  T.

PBOPAOATINO  MUMS. 

When  should  Golden  Glow  and  Early 
Frost  be  propagated  and  planted  to 
have  them  in  bloom  by  September  15? 

W.  &  M.— Ind. 


The  time  of  propagating  Golden 
Glow  and  Early  Frost  really  does  not 
have  so  much  to  do  with  their  blooming 
period  as  does  the  taking  of  the  bud, 
except,  of  course,  that  the  plants  should 
be  planted  early  enough  to  make  a  cer- 
tain amount  of  stem  growth.  Plants 
propagated  any  time  from  February  to 
April  will  be  all  right,  but  the  buds 
must  be  taken  the  latter  part  of  July 
if  flowers  are  desired  September  15. 
While  good  flowers  of  October  Frost 
found  a  ready  sale  in  the  market  this 
year.  Golden  Glow,  in  the  eastern  mar- 
kets at  least,  was  considerably  over- 
done. If  you  wish  to  have  something 
novel,  it  is  entirely  possible  to  propa- 
gate Golden  Glow  in  December  and  grow 
it  along  for  Easter  flowering,  if  desired. 
I  have  done  this  with  several  other 
varieties  as  well  as  with  Golden  Glow, 
but  finally  came  to  the  conclusion  that 
there  is  a  proper  time  and  place  for 
everything  and  that  the  time  for  mums 
is  not  early  spring;  neither  is  it  early 
in  the  fall,  since  the  summer  gardens 
are  still  in  full  blaze  and  there  are  many 
other  flowers  from  which  to  select.

CRACKING  OF  MUM   STEMS. 

What  causes  the  stems  of  Turner 
chrysanthemums  to  crack  just  below 
the  bud,  just  as  though  they  had  been 
cut  with  a  knife?  Some  of  them  have 
two  or  three  cracks,  which  go  half  way 
around.  The  plants  have  made  a  fine 
growth;  some  of  the  mums  are  more  than 
four  feet  high.     I  have  given  three  or

four  feeds  of  liquid  manure  before  the 
buds  showed  any  color.       E.  B, — Ind. 


A  number  of  exhibition  varieties  of 
chrysanthemums  have  this  trouble,  es- 
pecially large,  massive  blooms  on  the 
order  of  Wm.  Turner.  There  are  several 
causes  for  it.  One  is  taking  the  buds 
too  early,  particularly  during  a  hot,  dry 
season.  If  you  will  notice  your  plants, 
you  will,  I  think,  find  that  the  trouble  is 
worst  on  the  earliest  buds.  The  reason 
for  this  is  that  the  buds  were  taken 
when  the  weather  was  hot  and  dry,  a 
time  when  the  growth  of  the  plant  is 
.most  active.  Removing  the  side  buds 
and  growths  throws  all  the  strength  into 
the  main  stem  and  bud,  which  is  more 
than  they  can  stand,  causing  the  stem 
to  give  way  at  its  weakest  point. 

Heavy  feeding  with  manure  and  a  rich 
soil  will  also  cause  the  same  trouble.

highly  for  exhibition  purposes,  wh^n 
they  find  the  stems  commencing  to 
crack,  make  a  little  slit  up  and  down  in 
the  bark  where  the  crack  has  com- 
menced; this  relieves  the  condition  and 
presents  cracking  all  around  the  stem,

GBOWINO  PANSY   SEED. 

How  is  pansy  seed  grown?  Is  the 
pansy  self-fertilii^ing  or  must  it  be  cross- 
pollenized  by  the  agency  of  insects?  How 
are  the  several  Varieties  kept  pure  in 
seed  production?  E.  W.  T. — la. 

Success  in  growing  a  good  crop  of 
I)ansies  or  pansy  seed  de])ends  largely 
on  how  the  seed  is  treated  the  first  six  to 
twelve  days,  for,  if  pansy  seeds  get  dry 
after  once  sprouting,  they  are  dead  seeds 
and  if  kept  too  close  they  will  damp  off. 

A  coldfraine  is  a  good  place  if  the 
boards  are  not  full  of  fungus.  Or  use 
a  box  nine  indies  to  a  foot  high,  on  good, 
fresh  ground, a  little  sandy, that  has  been 
manured  well  for  a  previous  crop,  dug 
and  made  fine  and  given  a  good  watering 
before  the  seed  is  sown.  If  weedy,  sow 
in  drills  three  inches  apart,  one-sixteenth 
inch  deep.  One  ounce  of  seed  will  sow 
about  300  to  350  feet  of  drill  or  ninety 
square  feet  if  sown  broadcast.  Cover 
the  seed  one-sixteenth  inch  deep  with 
fresh  sand  or  sandy  soil,  pat  down  or 
roll  it  well  and  give  it  a  light  watering. 
Dust  the  surface  with  sulphur  or  Grape 
Dust.  I  think  the  latter  the  l)est  to 
keep  the  damping-off  fungus  from  start- 
ing. 

Then  cover  with  boards,  but  allow 
for  sonic  ventilation,  or  it  might  get  too 
hot;  pansy  seed  will  not  sprout  well  if 
kept  above  75  degrees.  Or  you  can 
mulch  them  with  moss,  hay  or  whatever 
you  have  handy,  but  keep  a  good  watch 
"after  the  fifth  day  and  fake  the  cover- 
ing off  as  soon  as  they  have  sprouted,  or 
they  will  get  drawn.  Then  cover  them 
with  the  thinnest  of  muslin  tacked  on  to 
some  frames.  The  muslin  will  give  the 
seedlings  a  little  shade  and  protect  them 
from  insects,  heavy  rains  and  drying 
winds.  The  best  plants  for  wintering 
over  in  the  field  for  spring  sales  or  seed 
are  from  seed  sown  from  July  10  to  July 
30  in  the  latitude  of  New  Jersey.  Trans- 
plant when  large  enough,  usually  in  five 
or  six  weeks  after  sowing,  into  the  field 
in  good,  rich  ground.  It  can  hardly  be 
made  too  rich   and  should  be  in  raised 


beds,  so  that  the  water  will  not  stand 
on  them  in  the  winter.  Plant  seven  or 
eight  inches  apart  each  way.  If  you 
transplant  them  the  first  time  into  the 
place  where  you  want  them  to  grow,  you 
will  have  larger  fiowers,  since  every  time 
the  roots  of  a  pansy  plant  are  disturbed 
the  flowers  will  be  smaller.  Put  just 
enough  mulch  on  them  to  hide  them  from 
view  after  the  ground  is  frozen.  Take 
the  mulch  off  as  soon  as  the  frost  is  out 
of  the  ground  in  the  spring. 

Pansies  are  self-fertilizing  and  the 
different  varieties  mix  so  readily  th&t 
it  is  almost  impossible  to  keep  any  va^ 
riety  or  color  true.  The  seed  is  fit  to 
gather  when  the  seed  pods  look  a  lit- 
tle old  and  brown.  We  try  to  go  over 
all  the  beds  twice  each  week.  The  seed 
is  put  to  dry  on  cloths  and  is  readily 
cleaned  with  sieves  and  a  fan  mill.  We 
leave  as  large  a  space  between  different 
varieties  as  circumstances  will  allow, 
planting  the  intervening  spaces  to  other 
flowers.  We  also  plant  those  which  are 
the  most  alike  nearest  to  each  other.

HOUSING  SINGLE  VIOLETS. 

1  have  in  the  field  single  violets  ready 
to  move  to  the  greenhouse  for  winter 
blooming.  They  are  nice,  healthy 
clumps.  The  warm  rains  lately  have 
made  the  foliage  grow  to  the  height  of 
a  foot.  As  frost  is  near,  would  you 
advise  cutting  the  foliage  back  or  let- 
ting the  frost  do  the  work?  The  latter 
would  rc(iuiio  much  picking  off  of  foli- 
age. M.  E.  H.— Tenn. 


Do  not  lift  and  house  your  single  vio- 
lets until  they  have  been  exposed  to  a 
few  degrees  of  frost  to  check  the  ex- 
uberant leaf  growth  and  to  stimulate 
flower  production.  I  would  suggest  leav- 
ing them  out  until  the  thermometer 
drops  once  or  twice  to  28  degrees.  It 
is  best  not  to  subject  them  to  anything 
lower  than  24  degrees.  If  lifted  before 
they  have  had  any  freezing,  they  will 
continue  to  produce  foliage  in  abun- 
dance and  few  flowers.  Should  you  have 
a  warm  spell  after  housing  the  plants 
and  the  loaves  should  start  into  active 
growth,  the  best  plan  is  to  let  the  tem- 
])erature  in  the  house  fall  to  31  or  32 
degrees  on  one  or  two  nights.        C.  W. 


CROP  TO  REPLACE  VIOLETS. 

We  have  two  violet  houses  and  in  one 
of  them  the  plants  are  badly  affecteil 
with  leaf-spot.  All  the  foliage  is  gone 
from  the  plants  in  one  bed.  Can  you 
suggest  some  other  flower  to  grow  in 
that  bed  which  would  require  the  same 
temperature  as  violets?  We  want  a 
flower  to  give  crops  between  now  and 
Easter.  Would  pansies  be  profitable? 
Is  there  anythin^j  that  will  stop  violet 


Pansies  will  succeed  well  in  a  violet 
temperature  and  so  will  hardy  prim- 
roses or  polyanthus.  The  first  najncd, 
provided  you  have  or  can  secure  strong 
plants,  would  soon  start  to  flower  and 
persist  until  the  end  of  April.  The  yd- 
low  polyanthus  will  bloom  heavily  from 
February  on.  Still  another  crop  you 
could  plant  and  get  good  returns  from 
before  Easter  is  snapdragons.  They 
prefer  a  little  more  warmth  than  poly- 
anthus and  pansies;  45  degrees  at  night 
suits  them,  while  5  degrees  lower  will 
answer  for  the  other  crops. 

Violet  spot  is  most  destructive  on 
double  violets.  The  more  robust-grow- 
ing singles,  like  Princess  of  Wales,  are 
not  all  immune  from  spot,  but  are  more 
easily  kept  clean.  A  low  night  tempera- 
ture, abundant*  ventilation,  perfect 
cleanliness,  careful  watering  and  the 
picking  off  of  diseased  foliage  will  keep 
violets  in  a  healthy  growing  condition 
if  anything  will.  C.  W. 


LEAF-SPOT    ON    VIOLETS. 

Under  separate  cover  I  have  mailed  a 
violet  leaf,  having  a  disease  on  it.  It 
eventually  withers  and  dries  up.  Any 
information  or  advice  as  to  the  cause 
and  rcmedv  will  be   appreciated. 

J.  S.  S.— O. 


The  leaf  received"  has  been  attacked 
by  what  is  commonly  called  tho  leaf- 
spot  disease  of  violets,  the  best  known 
and  most  destructive  of  the  several  dis- 
eases which  afflict  violets.  In  the  case 
of  double  violets  it  is  much  more  dead- 
ly and  difficult  to  overcome  than  with 
singles  and  you  need  not  despair  of 
overcoming  it.  A  few  points  to  re- 
member are:  Violets  need  absolute 
cleanliness,  and  you  should  remove  and 
burn  the  affected  foliage  as  far  as  pos- 
sible. Plants  which  appear  utterly 
liopeless  can  be  destroyed.  Never  throw 
any  foliage  on  the  paths  or  below  the 
benches.  Be  careful  when  watering  to 
damp  the  foliage  as  little  as  possible, 
and  water  at  this  season  only  on  clear 
mornings.  Ventilate  abundantly  both 
night  and  day  so  long  as  the  night 
minimum  does  not  fall  below  40  degrees. 
This  latter  temperature  proves  an  ideal 
one  for  violets  at  night  during  the  cjDld- 
est  part  of  the  winter.  Spraying  with 
Bordeaux  mixture  on  the  first  appear- 
ance of  trouble  has  proved  helpful,  but 
I  would  rely  mainly  on  cleanliness  and 
a  suitable  temperature  to  counteract  it. 
A  close  temperature  must  always  be 
avoided.  C.  W.

rists' Association  and  the  Toronto  Re- 
tail Florists'  Club. 

The  displays  were  gorgeous  and  a  fine 
compliment  was  paid  the  participants 
by  the  Duke  of  Devonshire,  governor- 
general  of  Canada,  and  by  Sir  John 
Hendrie,  the  lieutenant-governor  of  On- 
tario. 

Outstanding  in  the  exhibition  was  the 
unusual  display  by  the  Toronto  Retail 
Florists'  Club.'  The  whole  south  of  the 
exhibition  hall  was  divided  off  by  a 
high  hedge  of  cedar  trees,  with  an  en- 
trance through  a  pergola.  A  low  cedar 
hedge  made  an  aisle  back  of  the  high 
cedars  and  separated  the  public  from 
the  well  arranged  exhibits.  These  were 
arranged  in  full-sized  rooms  as  follows: 
Bridal,  reception,  living,  dining  and  sun 
room's.  The  decorations  were  beautiful 
and  were  all  arranged  in  their  proper 
positions.  The  rugs  were  of  the  best 
Turkish  designs;  the  china  was  Crown 
Darby;  the  furniture,  curtains  and  all 
equipment  were  the  best  that  could  be 
found.  The  whole  work  of  arranging 
the  display  was  done  by  the  members  of 
the  club  and  all  the  furnishings  were 
from  homes  of  the  members. 

The  bridal  room  was  arranged  for  a 
wedding,  with  an  aisle  leading  up  to  a 
canopy  of  white  chrysanthemums.  Fig- 
ures representing  the  bride  and  groom 
stood  before  the  kneeling  stool.  Those 
were  in  the  correct  dress.  The  proper 
flf^T-al  decoration  and  uses  of  flowers 
weie  shown.  All  through  the  club's  dis- 
play the  scheme  of  decoration  fitted  in 
with  the  kind  of  room.  Prominently  dis- 
played were  signs:  "Say  It  with  Flow- 
ers." 

Visitors  Pay  Compliments. 

Twenty-nine  members  of  the  Hamil- 
ton Gardeners'  and  Florists'  Association 
visited  the  exhibition  and  were  enter- 
tained at  luncheon  by  the  Toronto  Asso- 
ciation. They  were  received  by  Presi- 
dent H.  G.  Dillemuth  and  Secretary 
Alexander  Simpson.  In  reply  to  Presi- 
dent Dillemuth,  W.  H.  Gray,  president 
of  the  Hamilton  Association,  stated  that 
he  had  visited  all  the  larger  flower  shows 
and  the  exhibits  at  Toronto  were  the 
finest  he  had  seen. 

The  Toronto  Retail  Florists'  Ciul) 
conducted  a  tea  room,  which  was  well 
patronized  during  the  exhibition. 

The,  Duke  of  Devonshire  manifested  a 
great  interest  in  both  the  flowers  for  dis- 
})lay  and  those  for  competition.  There 
were  sixty  classes,  with  four  substan- 
tial prizes  in  each  class.

firms  the  thanks  of  the  society  were  ten- 
dered for  their  displays. 

Two  Buckingham  Sports. 

In  the  exhibition  itself,  three 
strangers  appeared  to  good  advantage. 
Two  were  pompons,  one  of  them  being  a

College,  Ames.  la. 

The  J.  S.  Wilson  Floral  Co.,  Des 
Moines,  showed  a  fine  collection  of 
potted  plants,  not  in  competition,  which 
added  much  to  the  scenic  attractiveness 
of  the  show. 

The  display  of  J.  F.  Wilcox  &  Sons, 
of  Council  Bluffs,  la.,  arranged  personal- 
ly by  B.  Wilcox,  was  especially  exten- 
sive, including  Premier,  Columbia,  Rus- 
sell and  Ophelia  roses  and  some  fine 
cyclamens,  peppers  and  ferns.

the  ballroom  of  the  Narragansett  hotel 
November  13  and  14,  was  the  finest  these

were  the  outstanding  feature  and  have 
never  before  been  equaled  here  in

State  College  Show. 

The  division  of  floriculture  of  the 
Pennsylvania  State  College  held  its  an- 
nual chrysanthemum  exhibition  Novem- 
ber 8  in  connection  with  the  display  of 
the  department  of  horticulture  of  fruit 
and  vegetables.  The  exhibition  was  not 
large,  as  the  division  had  not  prepared 
for  it  because  of  disturbed  conditions. 
Next  year  they  are  planning  to  make 
an  elaborate  display.  The  predominat- 
ing flower  was  the  chrysanthemum; 
there  were  also  a  few  vases  of  roses, 
carnations,  snapdragons  and  marguer- 
ites. These  were  beautifully  banked 
against  a  background  of  evergreen 
boughs  and  brilliantly  colored  oak 
leaves.  The  entire  display  faced  the  en- 
trance to  the  large  horticulture  exhibit 
room.  A  large  "Say  It  with  Flowers" 
sign  in  colors  was  arranged  among  the 
green  and  attracted  a  good  deal  of  at- 
tention. This  was  the  first  "Say  It 
with  Flowers"  exhibit  that  the  institu- 
tion has  held.  Silver  medals  for  size  of 
display  and  quality  of  material  were 
awarded  to  the  Pittsburgh  Cut  Flower 
Co.,  Pittsburgh,  Pa.,  and  to  the  S.  S. 
Pennock  Co.,  Philadelphia.  Other  ex- 
hibitors were  Henry  A.  Dreer,  Inc.,  Phil- 
adelphia, with  a  collection  of  outdoor- 
flowering  chrysanthemums;  Elmer  D. 
Smith  &  Co.,  Adrian,  Mich.,  with  a  col- 
lection of  1920  introductions,  and  the 
Chas.  H.  Totty  Co.,  Madison,  N.  J. 


OHIO  STATE  MUM  SHOW. 


At  Columbus. 

The  first  annual  chrysanthemum  show 
of  Ohio  State  University  was  held  No- 
vember 7  to  9.  It  was  given  by  the 
florists  of  the  department  of  horticul- 
ture. Friday  evening,  November  7,  the 
exhibition  was  formally  opened  by  a  re- 
ception of  the  faculty  members  of  the 
university  by  the  department  of  horti- 
culture. 

Saturday  morning,  November  8, 
school  children  were  especially  invited. 
In  the  afternoon  and  evening,  members 
of  the  Columbus  Horticultural  Society 
acted  as  hosts.  The  public  showed  an 
unusual  interest  in  the  show  and  the 
exhibition  hall  was  crowded  at  all  times. 
Judging  from  actual  counts  taken  at 
various  intervals,  a  conservative  esti- 
mate of  the  attendance  for  the  three 
days  is  15,000. 

Most  of  the  mums  exhibited  were 
grown  at  the  department 's  greenhouses 
and  they  included  some  especially  fine 
specimens  of  William  Turner,  Marigold, 
Blackhawk,  Louisa  Pockett,  Chieftain, 
Major  Bonnaffon,  Charles  Eager,  Mrs. 
W.  E.  Buckingham  and  Garza.  Several 
specimen  plants,  which  were  several 
foet  in  diameter  and  had  hundreds  of 
blooms,  both  of  Garza  and  of  Mrs.  W. 
E.  Buckingham,  attracted  the  attention 
of  many. 

Elmer  D.  Smith  &  Co.,  of  Adrian, 
Mich.,  sent  a  fine  collection  of  pompons 
to  the  show.  Bright  Eyes,  a  tiny  but- 
ton variety,  new  for  1920,  evoked  more 
comment  than  any  other  in  this  section. 
Button   Rose,   Little   Tot,   Mimico,   Fire 


Bird   and   Anneta  also   made    a   strong 
impression. 

The  Heiss  Floral  Co.,  of  Dayton,  O., 
sent  a  collection  of  large  mums. 

S.  F.  Stephens  &  Son,  of  Columbus, 
had  pompons  on  display,  including  such 
varieties  as  Bishop  Henninghaus,  which 
has  cream-colored  quills  opening  flat 
into  broad,  deep  red  petals;  Inga,  Nio 
and  Ceddie  Mason.  There  were  also 
splendid  blooms  of  Ongawa,  McNiece, 
Mrs.  J.  C.  Kelly,  Africano  and  Roman 
Gold. 

Frank  S.  Miller,  of  Columbus,  had 
some  excellent  Diana  on  exhibition,  as 
well  as  Chieftain,  White  Chieftain, 
Golden  Queen,  Major  Bonnaffon  and 
Chrysolora. 

The  Fifth  Avenue  Floral  Co.,  of  Co- 
lumbus, displayed  beautiful  blooms   of  , 
Lillian  Doty,  Bonnaffon,  Glenview,  Dr. 
Enguehard  and  Rayonarte. 

The  Fairview  Floral  Co.,  of  Colum- 
bus, had  perfect  Charles  Rager  and  Dr. 
Enguehard  mums. 

Altogether  there  were  fifty-seven  va- 
rieties of  chrysanthemums  at  the  show. 

Professor  Alfred  C.  Hottes  was  in 
charge  of  the  exhibition,  which  was 
planned  and  conducted  by  students  in 
floriculture.  The  show  room  walls  were 
decorated  with  a  frieze  of  a  conven- 
tionalized mum,  stenciled  on  with  yel- 
low and  green.  Miss  Eunice  Merton 
was  chairman  of  the  social  committee; 
Carl  E.  Gressle,  chairman  of  the  decora- 
tion committee,  and  Albert  T.  Haag, 
Jr.,  chairman  of  the  exhibition  commit- 
tee. Credit  is  also  due  Paul  E.  Embler, 
florist,  and  J.  E.  Shanck,  gardener,  at 
the  university  greenhouses,  for  their 
assistance.

The  Market. 

Cincinnati  is  one  of  the  few  cities 
that  afford  the  public  an  opportunity  to 
buy  flowers  at  a  nominal  price.  At  the 
market  a  majority  of  the  growers  around 
this  city  and  across  the  river  in  New- 
port, Fort  Thomas  and  other  nearby 
Kentucky  cities  sell  their  output  direct 
to  the  public.  Each  one  contracts  for  as 
much  space  as  his  individual  needs  re- 
quire. The  prices  as  a  whole  are  usually 
about  midway  between  the  wholesale 
quotations  and  the  retail  store  prices. 
This  market  is  a  good  booster  for  the 
flower  business,  since  it  teaches  people 
to  buy  flowers,  but  if  they  want  to  send 
them  to  a  friend  they  must  go  to  a  regu- 
lar retailer  to  get  the  best  results. 

Roses  are  shortening  up,  most  growers 
permitting  their  stock  to  make  wood 
now  so  that  they  will  be  in  crop  for  the 
holidays. 

Timothy  Eaton  and  Yellow  Eaton 
mums  are  coming  in  well  now,  also  car- 
nations. Violets  and  orchids  are  scarce. 
Indoor  Orange  King  calendulas  are  com- 
ing into  market. 

Various  Notes. 

The  Lampert  Floral  Co.,  Xenia,  O.,  is 
shipping  some  fine  Cecile  Brunner  roses 
to  this  market. 

John  Loder  &  Sons,  Hamilton,  O.,  are 
cutting  a  big  crop  of  medium-sized  mums 
that  meet  with  a  ready  sale  here. 

Frank  Schneider,  the  Price  Hill  carna- 
tion expert,  is  also  cutting  some  fine 
pompons,  including  a  fine  bronze  anem- 
one. 

Baur  &  Steinkamp,  Indianapolis,  Ind., 
shipped  the  finest  pompons  we  have  seen 
to  this  market  recently.

The  Market. 

The  market  is  still  on  the  upward 
trend.  The  orchid  situation  has  been 
serious.  They  are  })ringing  $2  each  and 
it  is  hard  to  obtain  them  at  that  price. 
There  is  a  good  supply  of  American 
Beauties,  which  are  bringing  up  to  $7 
and  $8  per  dozen.  Sweet  peas  are  still 
scarce.  Out-of-town  business  has  shown 
a  large  increase.  There  has  been  a  large 
ilomand  for  clirysaiitlu'iiiunis  and  the 
supply  ha«  been  sufficient  to  ni'.'et  the 
demand.

There  will  be  a  different  display  each 
week  and  each  one  of  the  series  will 
impress  a  different  meaning  upon  the 
public. 

J.  H.  Small  &:  Sons  have  been  busy 
lately  with  important  work  in  connec- 
tion with  the  many  distinguished  vis- 
itors in  this  city;  it  included  much  deco- 
rating work. 

One  of  the  largest  and  most  important 
jobs  so  far  this  season  was  the  work  at 
the  British  embassy  during  the  visit  of 
the  Prince  of  Wales.  This  work  was 
done  by  the  Louise  Flower  Shop.  The 
entrance  to  the  embassy  was  decorated 
with  boxwood  plants  and  yellow  and 
white  chrysanthemums.  The  stairway, 
which  is  one  of  the  old  colonial  styles 
of  dark  woodwork,  was  draped  with 
southern  smilax.  At  the  head  and  base 
of  the  stairway  there  were  huge  clus- 
ters of  yellow  chrysanthemums. 
Throughout  the  hall  there  were  baskets 
of  yellow  and  white  chrysanthemums. 
The  ballroom  and  reception  room  were 
decorated  with  palms,  ferns  and  large 
l>askets  of  mums.  The  dining  room  had 
vases  of  American  Beauty  roses  ar- 
ranged on  the  table  and  around  the  en- 
tire room.    About  1,000  chrysanthemums 


and  almost  500  American  Beauty  roses 
were  used  in  this  work.  There  were  559 
people  at  the  reception.  The  Louise 
Flower  Shop  made  the  wreath  which  the 
prince  placed  on  the  tomb  of  Washing- 
ton. 

Z.  D.  Blackistone,  chairman  of  the 
"Say  It  with  Flowers"  week  commit- 
tee, made  the  following  statement  in 
reference  to  the  recent  campaign:  "The 
'Say  It  with  Flowers'  campaign  of  No- 
vember, 1919,  has  been  voted  a  huge  suc- 
cess by  everyone.  A  more  appropriate 
time  for  this  campaign  could  not  have 
been  selected.  On  account  of  the  Red 
Cross  campaign  there  were  opportuni- 
ties for  making  appeals  to  the  people 
which  otherwise  would  have  been  im- 
possible. Who  would  have  thought  of 
taking  our  little  organization  of  fifty 
people  and  bringing  to  it  the  great  or- 
ganization of  the  American  Red  Cross 
with  its  5,000  or  more  workers?  This  is 
just  what  happened  on  Sunday  evening, 
when  they  allowed  a  committee  com- 
posed of  W.  F.  Gude,  George  Shaffer  and 
myself  to  appear  before  their  mass  meet- 
ing of  probably  10,000  people.  Mr.  Gude 
presented  a  huge  basket  of  flowers  on 
behalf  of  the  florists,  with  an  appro- 
priate and  timely  speech.  I  feel  justi- 
fied in  making  the  statement,  which  has 
been  corroborated  by  many  fellow  mem- 
bers of  the  trade  and  associates,  that 
our  10-day  campaign  has  advanced  'Say 
It  with  Flowers'  week  more  than  five 
years.    All  the  florists  showed  fine  spirit 


and  put  forth  every  effort  in  this  cam 


paign.

DENVER,  COLO. 

The  store  of  the  Central  Floral  Co.,  on 
Fifteenth  street,  makes  an  attractive 
appearance  with  its  false  ceiling  of  oak 
foliage.  This  firm,  although  the  young- 
est in  the  city,  has  branched  out  by 
opening  a  stand  in  the  New  Grand  Cen- 
tral market,  on  Champa  street. 

Frank  Dykstra  is  now  with  Boldt  & 
Lundy. 

J.  L,  Ennegon,  of  the  New  York  Floral

ly installed  the  heating  system.

MOTT-LY   MUSINGS 


Conrad  C.  Gindra,  of  Poughkeepaie, 
N.  Y.,  held  a  flower  show  in  his  fine 
range  coincident  with  the  opening  of 
Vassar  College  and  was  "tickled  to 
death,"  using  his  own  expression,  with 
the  enthusiasm  shown  by  the  students 
as  they  passed  along,  noting  the  various 
attractions  and  showing  familiarity 
with  the  subject  of  floriculture.  "In 
short,"  sagely  observed  Mr.  Gindra, 
' '  we  have  to  get  a  wiggle  on  to  keep 
in  the  front  row,  or  the  fair  sex  will 
supplant  us  and  we  shall  be  transplanted 

elsewhere. ' '

.  Saltf  ord  's  Flower  Shop,  of  Pough- 
keepsie,  N.  Y.,  offers  constant  attrac- 
tions in  the  form  of  novelties  in  floral 
work,  being  the  first  to  make  the  cor- 
sage bouquet  so  popular  among  the  col- 
legians. The  usual  well  grown  stock  is 
at  the  greenhouses,  under  the  charge  of 
the  veteran  founder,  who  is  justly  proud 
of  the  orchids  and  poinsettiaa,  the  latter 
being  unrivaled  in  the  state.

Wood  Bros.,  of  Fishkill,  N.  Y.,  are 
among  the  many  shippers  of  young 
stock  that  have  been  handicapped  by 
the  condition  of  the  express  system  and 
hope  for  improvement  ere  heavy  ship- 
ments of  rooted  cuttings,  of  which  they 
grow  large  numbers,  are  ready  to  be 
made.  Taking  it  all  in  all,  things  might 
be  worse  and  assuredly  will  improve,  is 

the  opinion  of  Louis  Wood.

Henry  Hansen,  of  Catskill,  N.  Y.,  has 
no  complaint  to  register,  having  a 
steady  demand,  an  occasional  spurt  on 
funeral  work  and  good  stock,  the  result 
of  careful  attention. 


Valentin  Burgevin's  Sons,  of  Kings- 
ton, N.  Y.,  opened  the  fall  season  with 
a  flower  show,  for  which  their  fine  store 
is  well  adapted.  Commenting  upon  the 
mention  made  in  The  Review  of  carna- 
tions growing  in  England  as  tall  as  five 
feet,  George  Burgevin  realizes  that 
sturdy  growth  is  essential;  the  stockier 
the  plant  the  stronger  is  the  flower 
stem.  It  is  still  an  open  question  as  to 
which  is  more  profitable  in  the  end,  old 

or  new  soil.

The  Allen  Greenhouses,  of  Hudson, 
N.  Y.,  specialize  on  foliage  plants. 
Since  the  atmosphere  is  charged  with 
dust  from  cement  works  located  some 
distance  away,  such  stock  as  carnations 
and  roses  do  not  bloom  well.    Blooming 

plants  are  not  affected  so  seriously.

Seymour  Cunningham,  of  Cold 
Springs,  N.  Y.,  is  a  trinitarian  in  that 
he  is  a  florist,  sexton  and  undertaker. 
He  is  equally  successful  in  all  three  and 
each    occupation    is    interdependent    on 

the  others.

EESULTS. 

We  give  them.    You  get  them. 

We  both  have  them. 

More  buyers  are  looking  for  sellers 
than  sellers  for  buyers  this  season. 

Florists  who  leave  it  to  others  in  th« 
trade  to  break  in  new  help  feel  th«  la«k 
of   capable  employees  most  keenly. 

Several  cities  have  felt  shortages  of 
stock  this  month  that  were  reminiscent  of 
last  season 's,  in  effect,  not  in  cause. 

"If  it  is  worth  selling,"  reads  the 
latest  poster  in  the  express  companies' 
campaign,  "Pack  it  Right;  Mark  it 
Right. ' ' 

Increased  production  will  not  benefit 
the  trade  unless  accompanied  by  steadily 
rising  quality.  There  always  is  too  much 
poor   stock. 

AViTH  152  pages  and  cover,  this  is  the 
largest  regular  number  of  The  Review 
ever  issued.  The  paper's  steady  increase 
in  size  shows  how  the  florists'  trade  is 
growing. 

C.  Engelm.\nn,  the  widely  known  car- 
nation grower  of  Saffron  Walden,  Eng- 
land, is  in  Brazil  at  present,  and  ex- 
pects to  be  in  the  United  States  before 
Christmas. 

Buffalo  expects  its  publicity  plan  to 
be  contagious  and  spread  to  other  cities. 
That  would  be  a  more  welcome  epidemic 
than  the  "flu"  and  would  far  exceed  it 
in  boosting  flower  sales. 

Apparently  it  will  not  be  long  l)i'fore 
ice  machines  will  be  as  common  in  this 
trade  as  light  delivery  cars  now  are. 
Those  who  have  installed  reliable  ap- 
paratus would  not  think  of  returning  to 
dependence  on  the  iceman. 

Those  who  deal  in  necessities  are 
classed  as  profiteers,  whatever  their 
prices,  but  the  wage-earning  public  seems 
to  pay  willingly,  boastfully,  whatever 
is  a.sked  for  luxuries.  Perhaps,  as  a 
trade,  we  might  be  able  to  make  a  little 
use  of  that  popular  idiosyncrasy. 

Babson,  the  professional  adviser  of 
business  men,  insists  that  nothing  can 
change  the  old  rule  that  "what  goes  up 
must  come  down,"  nor  the  Newtonian 
law  of  opposite  and  equal  reactions;  in 
other  words,  "the  bigger  they  are  the 
harder  they  fall."  But  Babson  does  not 
undertake  to  tell  us  when  or  where  the 
reaction  will  set  in;  his  advice  is  only  to 
"Watch  your  step." 


Habits  or  neglects  that  keep  a  dollar's 
profit  out  of  the  florist's  pocket  are  as 
expensive  as  those  for  which  he  pays  that 
much  cash. 

Easter  falls  on  April  4  in  1920.  Lilies 
to  be  forced  for  that  date  should  be 
planted  in  the  middle  of  December  and 
not  later  than  Christmas. 

Business  is  good  in  all  branches  of  the 
trade,  but  it  already  is  apparent  that 
those  who  did  not  make  money  last  season 
have  small  chance  of  doing  so  now. 

There  is  material  for  reflection  in  the 
number"  of  stores  where  flowers  are  first 
carried  as  a  side  line  and  then  crowd 
out  the  main  business  in  a  comparatively 
s^hort  time. 

Strikes  are  not  responsible  for  the 
labor  problem  in  the  florists'  trade;  the 
cause  is  the  absence  of  inducement  to 
young  men  and  boys  to  enter  the  business 
and  learn  its  ways. 

The  shortage  of  spring  bedding  stock 
l>robably  will  be  most  acute  early  in  the 
season.  There  always  is  a  lot  of  stuff 
that  comes  on  the  market  after  the  de- 
mand has  begun  to  subside.  Get  yours 
ready  in  time. 

Manufacturers  in  other  trades  find 
it  highly  profitable  to  advertise  nationally 
to  aid  retailers  in  the  disposition  of  their 
merchandise.  Flower  growers  similarly 
will  find  that  the  investment  for  publicity 
brings  returns  not  merely  to  the  retailers, 
Ijut  in  reality  just  as  strongly  to  them. 


HOPE  IN  COAL  CONFERENCE. 

Representatives  of  coal  miners  and 
coal  operators  are  at  Washington  en- 
gaged in  efforts  to  arrive  at  a  compro- 
mise agreement  which  will  be  satisfac- 
tory to  both.  While  they  are  doing  so, 
miners  in  many  districts  are  waiting  for 
the  outcome  before  returning  to  work. 
Although  the  strike  was,  through  the 
government's  injunction,  formally  re- 
scinded, many  of  the  miners  are  still 
idle. 

The  consequent  decrease  in  production 
is  viewed  with  concern  by  officials  of 
the  fuel  administration.  Figures  show 
that  during  the  first  week  of  November 
production  of  bituminous  coal  was  only 
twenty-nine  per  cent  of  the  average 
weekly  output  during  October.  This 
amount  was  mined  chiefly  in  non-union 
fields  and  districts  unaffected  by  tlu; 
strike.  Following  this  reduction  in  sup- 
ply, orders  have  been  issued  by  some  re- 
gional coal  committees  abolishing  the 
preferred  list.  Consumers  on  this  list 
must  make  application  for  their  wants, 
in  order  that  there  may  be  no  danger  of 
overconsumption  of  fuel  by  those  not 
subject  to  supervision.  Florists  should 
therefore  make  application  in  ample 
time  to  secure  their  requirements,  since 
no  early  return  of  the  miners  to  work  is 
forecast. 


SMALL  PRODUCTION  A  J" ACTOR. 

Continued  buying  is  creating  a  strong 
demand  in  lines  where  production  is  still 
small,  and  thus  making  the  shortage  a 
vital  factor  in  the  present  business  situ- 
ation. The  weekly  review  of  a  large 
wholesale  house  covers  general  store 
merchandise  as  follows: 

"Business  continues  to  increase  in 
volume  as  cold  weather  gives  added  im- 
petus to  the  movement  of  retailers' 
stocks.  Buyers  are  in  market  in  much 
larger  numbers  than  they  were  in  the 
corresponding  period  during  November, 


1918.  Collections  are  excellent.  That 
general  business  conditions  are  funda- 
mentally good  is  manifested  by  the  non- 
effect  of  strikes  and  other  events  of 
national  interest,  which  in  former  years 
might  have  immediately  depressed  the 
market.  As  long  as  demand  for  needed 
merchandise  so  far  exceeds  supply,  busi- 
ness should  move  forward  uninter- 
ruptedly. Shortage  of  production  is  still 
the  vital  factor  in  many  lines.  Many 
merchants,  realizing  the  condition,  are 
covering  their  anticipated  requirements 
far  ahead  into  the  spring." 


MONEY  EXCHANGE. 

Trade  houses  which  owe  money,  or 
soon  will  owe  money  to  correspondents 
in  foreign  countries,  are  being  urged  to 
pay  now,  if  the  bills  are  payable  in 
American  money.  On  the  other  hand,  if 
the  bills  are  payable  in  foreign  money, 
or  if  the  credit  is  on  the  American  side 
of  the  ledger,  reason  for  delay  is  found 
in  the  prevailing  rate  of  exchange.  Com- 
pared to  American  money,  foreign  coin- 
age had  last  week  the  lowest  values  ever 
known  and  the  ability  to  take  advantage 
of  them  is  important  to  a  large  number 
of  bulb  dealers  in  figuring  the  season's 
profit.  Here  is  an  approximate  record 
of  last  week's  low  point: 

Value  of  111  America 

Hritlsh    pound    $4.1250 

Freiicii   franc    0940 

German  mark 0285 

Dutch  guilder 3765 

The  dollar,  depreciated  as  we  have 
come  to  consider  it,  is  the  most  valuable 
monev  in  the  world. 


CHANGES   MIND    ON   FERTILIZER. 

An  order  forbidding  an  advance  in 
price  of  raw  fertilizer  materials  over 
prices  of  October  7  was  announced  last 
week  by  the  Department  of  Agriculture. 
Materials  affected  were  sulphate  of  am- 
monia, dried  blood,  tankage,  fish  scrap 
and  cotton  seed  meal. 

Hearings  on  the  question  of  fixing 
prices  on  these  materials  were  held  last 
month  and  the  department  finally  ruled 
that  no  maximum  prices  would  be  estab- 
lished. Since  then  prices  have  risen  and 
this  led  to  the  order  announced. 

Then  because  its  action  had  been  con- 
strued as  price  fixing,  the  Department 
of  Agriculture  withdrew  its  order  next 
day.  While  pointing  out  that  it  had  no 
authority  to  fix  prices,  the  department 
said  it  would  do  all  in  its  power  to  bring 
about  normal  conditions  and  to  prevent 
profiteering. 


READERS  COUNT. 

There  is  an  old  saying  in  the  news- 
paper and  advertising  business  that 
"it's  not  where  a  paper  is  printed,  but 
where  it  is  read  that  counts."  It  is  be- 
cause The  Review  is  read  everywhere 
that  letters  like  these  come  in: 

From  Dunkirk,  N.  Y. :  The  ad  in  The  Review 
certainly  brought  me  results.  It  appeared  only 
twice,  but  it  cleared  out  all  my  plants  and  there 
were  many  orders  I  had  to  refuse. — E.  J.  Rozum- 
alsky,  Manager  Point  Gratiot  Greenhouses,  No- 
vember 12,   1919. 

From  Cambridge,  0. :  I  consider  the  Classified 
ads  In  The  Review  the  clearing  house  of  the 
trade. — Fred  W.  Arnold,   November  8,  1919. 

From  Terre  Haute,  Ind. :  We  were  sold  out 
on  the  first  insertion  of  the  ad. — Cowan  Bros.  & 
Co..    November  10,   1919. 

From  Melrose  Park,  111.:  I  am  sold  clean, 
thanks  to  the  ad  In  The  Review. — R.  P.  Bohlan- 
der,    November  10,    1919. 

If  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.

OBITUARY 


John  T.  Shore. 

John  T.  Shore,  one  of  the  pioneer 
members  and  organizers  of  the  National 
Association  of  Gardeners  and  organizer 
of  the  Westchester  County  Horticul- 
tural Society,  died  at  his  home  in  Har- 
rison, N.  Y.,  Wednesday,  November  12, 
after  a  long  illness,  at  the  age  of  76. 
For  twenty-five  years  he  had  been  su- 
perintendent of  the  Sterling  estate,  in 
Harrison,  and  was  held  in  high  esteem 
by  all  who  knew  him.  He  was  a  charter 
member  of  the  Harrison  fire  department 
and  its  president  for  fifteen  years.  He 
was  also  a  school  trustee  and  an  elder 
in  the  Presbyterian  Church. 

Frederick  Shawyer. 

Frederick  Shawyer,  for  the  last  few 
years  head  gardener  at  Farnholme,  the 
estate  of  Miss  Mary  Sharswood,  at 
Wequetequock,  near  Westerly,  R.  I.,  was 
killed  by  an  automobile  shortly  after 
midnight  Saturday,  November  8.  He  had 
been  visiting  friends  during  the  eve- 
ning and  was  on  his  way  home  when  he 
was  struck  by  an  automobile  and  left 
dead  at  the  side  of  the  road.  He  is  sur- 
vived by  his  wife  and  four  children. 

Allen  J.  Hamm. 

Aft^r  a  prolonged  illness,  Allen  J.

he  had  been  identified  in  business  since 
leaving  school,  acting  as  manager  for 
some  time  previous  to  his  illness.  He 
was  one  of  the  earliest  victims  of  the 
Spanish  influenza  epidemic  during  the 
autumn  of  1918,  the  disease  rapidly 
developing  into  tuberculosis  of  the 
lungs.  Mr.  Hamm  is  survived  by  his 
parents,  his  brother,  his  wife^Mrs.  Stella 
Messier  Hamm,  and  a  son  and  daughter,

Mike  Bobinius. 

After  a  struggle  of  ten  months  to  re- 
gain his  health,  Mike  Robinius,  of  Paris, 
Tex.,  died  Wednesday,  November  12. 
All  the  members  of  his  family  were  at 
his  bedside  at  the  time.  Mr.  Robinius 
went  to  El  Paso  in  search  of  health  and 
returned  home  about  three  weeks  before 
his  death. 

Mr.  Robinius  is  survived  by  his  wife 
three  daughters,  Mrs.  Harry  Book,  Mrs 
L.  T.  Craigo  and  Miss  Esther  Robinius 
and  his  two  sons,  Henry  and  Charles 
The  business  at  the  Evergreen  Green 
houses  will  be  conducted  by  Mrs.  Ro 
binius  and  the  sons. 

Catholic    services   were   held    at   Our 


Lady  of  Victory  church.  Interment  was 
at  Evergreen  cemetery,  where  the  de- 
ceased was  laid  to  rest  beneath  many 
beautiful  floral  offerings  sent  by  his 
friends. 

Mrs.  John  Ralph. 

Mary  Maher  Ralph,  widow  of  John 
Ralph,  of  Saratoga  Springs,  N.  Y.,  died 
at  her  home,  on  Woodlawn  avenue,  last 
week.  She  was  born  in  Tipperary,  Jre- 
land,  in  1842.  She  went  to  Canada  and 
then,  forty-five  years  ago,  came  to  the 
United  States.  For  forty-three  years 
she  had  been  a  resident  of  Saratoga 
Springs. 

She  is  survived  by  three  daughters, 
Mary  Jane  and  Katherine  Louise,  of 
Saratoga  Springs,  and  Mrs.  Robert  Mor- 
rissey,  of  Port  Henry. 

The  funeral  was  held  at  the  late  resi- 
dence and  a  half  hour  later  at  St. 
Peter's  Catholic  church.  Burial  was  in 
St.  Peter's  cemetery. 

BRIDGEPORT,  CONN. 


The  Market. 

The  members  of  the  local  trade  were 
busy  November  15  filling  orders  for 
corsages  and  cut  flowers  for  the  Yale- 
Princeton  game.  Quantities  of  violets, 
white  carnations  and  chrysanthemums, 
in  combination  with  violets  and  yellow 
chrysanthemums,  were  disposed  of. 

Business  has  been  rather  quiet  on  ac- 
count of  the  unseasonably  warm  weath- 
er, which  has  prolonged  the  life  of  out- 
door flowers.  Fortunately,  we  have  now 
had  a  killing  frost  and  the  outdoor 
flowers  are  about  gone.  Chrysanthe- 
mums are  plentiful  at  the  present  time 
and  some  splendid  blooms  are  being 
displayed  in  the  florists'  windows.  Car- 
nations are  also  in  good  supply.  Al- 
though counter  trade  has  not  been  as 
brisk  as  might  be  desired,  funeral  or- 
ders have  been  abundant.  Weddings  are 
taking  place  daily  and,  although  most  of 
them  call  for  bouquets,  no  large  decora- 
tions have  been  furnished  recently. 

Various  Notes. 

A  new  greenhouse  range  is  now  in  op- 
eration at  Beardsley  park.  It  is  a  park 
board  project  and  cost  $25,000. 

James  E.  Beach  is  cutting  some  splen- 
did yellow  mums  and  carnations.  He 
is  also  well  supplied  with  Paper  Whites. 
There  is  a  large  assortment  of  begonias 
and  primroses  on  hand.  He  had  nu- 
merous calls  for  funeral  orders  last 
week. 

John  Keck  made  preparations  for  a 
big  day's  sales  for  the  game,  November 
15,  and  was  not  disappointed  in  the 
number  of  violets  and  chrysanthemums 
disposed  of. 

George  Pflomm  reports  an  abundance 
of  funeral  work.  He  had  also  an 
elaborate  window  decoration  for  the 
Yale-Princeton  game. 

James  Horan  &  Son  disposed  of  a 
large  number  of  violets  for  the  Yale- 
Princeton  game.  Funeral  orders  have 
been  abundant,  among  the  pieces  de- 
signed being  two  casket  covers.  One 
was  made  of  Columbia  roses  and  the 
other  of  white  and  yellow  chrysanthe- 
mums. This  firm'also  had  the  elaborate 
decorations  for  the  entertainment  and 
dance  which  the  merchants  who  have 
adopted  the  6  o'clock  closing  on  Sat- 
urday gave  to  their  employees  on  the 
first  night  on  which  the  new  plan  was 
tried  out.  This  affair  was  held  at  the 
Casino  on  State  street.  The  walls  were 
festooned    with    laurel,    while    hanging 


baskets  of  ferns  were  suspended  at  in- 
tervals. Palms,  boxwood  and  bay  trees 
were  also  used. 

The  Park  Gardens  store  is  well  sup- 
plied with  carnations,  of  which  the  firm 
is  cutting  large  quantities  daily.  Chrys- 
anthemums are  also  in  their  prime  and 
some  splendid  snapdragons  are  being  cut. 
This  firm's  share  in  the  trade  for  the 
game  was  satisfactory. 

Robert  Hawkins  anticipated  a  rush 
for  flowers  for  the  game  and  had  it.  He 
furnished  several  elaborate  table  deco- 
rations recently  and  decorated  the  ball- 
room of  the  Stratfield  hotel  for  the 
woman  suffrage  convention,  festooning 
the  chandeliers  and  encircling  the  ban- 
ners with  southern  smilax.  Pink  chrys- 
anthemums were  used  for  the  table  dec- 
orations. 

Julius  Reck  reports  that  he  is  all 
ready  for  cold  weather,  although  he  still 
has  a  number  of  bedding-out  orders  for 
bulbs  to  be  filled.  Callas  and  snapdrag- 
ons are  now  in  bloom  at  these  green- 
houses and  some  fine  chrysanthemums, 
carnations  and  Paper  Whites  are  being 
cut.  His  son,  John  Reck,  is  still  in 
France. 

The  Arcade  Flower  Shop  sold  a 
number  of  violets  and  yellow  chr/san 
themums  for  the   Yale-Princeton   game. 
Although  this  firm  has  been  in  business 
only  a  short  time,  it  reports  that  busi- 
ness is  increasing  steadily.         I.  L.  B. 


CHICAGO. 

The  Market. 

Business  is  good.  There  has  been 
some  spottiness  in  the  demand,  some 
days  being  much  better  than  others  and, 
on  busy  days,  some  houses  seeming  much 
busier  than  others,  but  on  the  whole 
there  seems  to  be  no  reason  for  dis- 
satisfaction with  existing  conditions. 
Prices  are  not  nearly  so  high  as  they 
were  a  year  ago,  but  most  of  the  whole- 
sale houses  say  that  sales  are  running 
as  good  as  or  a  little  better  than  last 
November,  so  that  the  growers  must-be 
taking  in  about  as  much  money  as  they 
did  last  year.  Probably  their  expenses 
are  higher,  but  not  enough  higher  to 
make  the  business  otherwise  than  prof- 
itable. That  the  enterprising  members 
of  the  producing  branch  of  the  trade 
look  upon  conditions  as  favorable-  is 
shown  by  the  number  of  reports  of  new 
construction  for  next  season. 

The  supply  of  stock  continues  large. 
There  are  at  least  twice  as  many  flowers 
as  were  in  the  market  at  this  time  last 
year.  Chrysanthemums  arc  distinctly 
on  the  down  grade.  Only  the  late 
varieties  now  are  in  the  market.  Bon- 
naffon  is  the  leader,  but  there  are  ex- 
cellent Chadwieks,  Seidewitz  and  Eaton. 
Although  the  market  rarely  is  cleaned 
up  on  mums,  the  sellers  are  able  to  hold 
all  good  stock  for  fair  prices.  There 
is  scarcely  any  demand  for  the  low 
grade  mums.  Pompons  are  less  plentiful 
then  they  have  been,  but  the  supply  still 
is  large  and  varied  in  character. 
Classed  with  the  pompons  are  the  semi- 
double  and  anemone  varieties.  It  is 
noticed  that  in  all  types  the  strongest 
demand  is  for  yellow,  but  that  the  call 
for  pink  is  strongest  in  comparison  to 
the  quantity  of  stock  available. 

There  is  little  change  in  the  rose  situa- 
tion. Cooler  weather  has  improved  the 
quality  with  many  growers,  but  new 
crops  are  not  yet  ready.  The  demand  is 
running  more  and  more  to  the  finer 
grades,  social  functions  consuming  a

steadily  increasing  part  of  the  supply. 
Although  Russell,  Columbia  and  Premier 
continue  the  most  popular  varieties, 
there  is  increased  call  for  red,  which  has 
brought  Milady  to  the  front. 

There  is  an  adequate  supply  of  car- 
nations, these  flowers  not  meeting  their 
strongest  demand  while  pompons  are 
so  cheap.  Violets  and  sweet  peas  have 
enjoyed  an  increased  demand  as  the 
result  of  increased  social  activities.  The 
price  of  Paper  Whites  is  easing  off,  be- 
cause of  the  necessity  for  forcing  the 
sale.  Soleil  d'Or  is  in.  Harrisii  lilies 
have  made  their  appearance  in  the  mar- 
ket in  small  quantities,  but  they  are  not 
in  active  request  because  the  growers 
say  $4  per  dozen  is  necessary  to  make 
the  crop  profitable.  The  moderate  sup- 
ply of  valley  continues  to  move  at  the 
price    asked.     Cattleyas   are    extremely 


scarce,  and  $2  per  flower  is  the  minimum 
now  asked  for  everything  that  is  mod- 
erately good.  The  retailers  protest,  but 
the  demand  takes  up  all  that  are  availa- 
ble at  the  price.  Stevia  has  come.  A 
few  snapdragons  also  are  seen.  There  is 
an  abundance  of  greens. 

Let's  '  'Put  it  Over"  Big. 

George  Asmus  is  starting  his  term  as 
president  of  the  Retail  Florists'  Associa- 
tion by  engineering  what  promises  to  be 
the  biggest  publicity  stunt  in  the  his- 
tory of  the  local  trade.  The  plans  are 
all  made,  but  help  is  needed  to  make 
it  "go  big,"  as  the  theatrical  folk  say. 

Next  week  at  the  Majestic  theater 
Miss  Frances  Kennedy,  who  has  a  large 
personal  following,  will  use  the  new 
song,  "Say  It  with  Flowers,"  as  the 
feature   of  lier  act.     In   Cleveland   and 


Detroit  it  has  been  a  hit,  and  the  Re- 
tailers' Association,  under  the  leader- 
ship of  Mr.  Asmus,  has  arranged  to 
make  it  go  big  in  Chicago.  All  retailers 
are  urged  to  specially  decorate  their  win- 
dows and  to  display  the  cards  the  com- 
mittee will  furnish,  explaining  what  is 
going  on  at  the  Majestic.  The  commit- 
tee will  decorate  the  lobby  of  the  the- 
ater, and  Miss  Kennedy  will  throw 
souvenir  flowers  to  the  audience  as  she 
sings.  It  is  planned  to  make  Tuesday 
a  special  flower  day,  a  flower  with  a 
tag  being  presented  to  each  person  who 
attends.  There  will  be  a  large  party  of 
florists  present,  the  ticket  arrangements 
being  in  the  hands  of  A.  Lange.  Apply 
to  him  if  you  want  to  sit  with  the 
bunch. 

The   flower  arrangements  are  in   the 
liands  of  A.  Lange,  L.  R.  Bohannon  and

quests for  assistance.  Mr.  Asmus  hopes 
everyone  connected  with  the  trade  will 
boost  the  act  in  every  way  possible,  as 
it  promises  to  create  piore  favorable 
talk  than  anything  ever  undertaken  to

Weiss  Buys  Another. 

Paul  Weiss  is  adding  another  to  the 
string  of  greenhouse  establishments  of 
which    he   is   the    executive    head.      To- 


gether with  associates,  he  has  engaged 
to  purchase  the  well-known  Knopf  place 
at  Richmond,  Ind.,  heretofore  owned 
and  operated  by  the  Joseph  H.  Hill  Co. 
There  is  about  75,000  square  feet  of  glass 
exposure  in  the  greenhouses,  which  are 
in  carnations,  the  Laddie  constituting 
the  largest  block  of  that  variety  in 
existence.  During  the  time  the  estab- 
lishment has  been  in  the  hands  of  Jo- 
seph Hill  it  has  been  put  into  first-class 
shape. 

Mr.  Weiss  was  at  Richmond  November 


19  to  complete  the  deal.  He  was  accom- 
panied by  C.  J.  Michelsen,  of  the  E.  C. 
Amling  Co.,  which  handles  the  output 
of  all  the  places  Mr.  Weiss  is  inter- 
ested in. 

Iiilies  as  a  Qood  Buy. 

The  prospect  for  lilies  for  Easter  is 
engaging  the  attention  of  a  good  many 
different  interests  at  present.  The  points 
of  view  are  different  and  the  opinions 
vary  widely.

that  the  price  of  bulbs,  about  18  cents 
for  7  to  9  giganteums,  or  27'/^  cents  for 
9  to  ID'S,  is  justified,  not  only  by  job- 
bers' costs,  but  by  last  Easter's  results 
for  the  forcers,  who  then  used  much 
inferior  cold  storage  bulbs. 

But  the  growers  assert  the  cost  of  the 
Eulbs  is  too  high  to  afford  much  hope 
of  profit  for  the  forcer.  Emil  Buettner 
says  he  never  has  averaged  better  than 
two  and  three-quarter  flowers  sold  for 
each  bulb  bought,  when  his  stock  was 
partly  made  up  of  the  larger  bulbs.  He 
voices  the  view  of  the  growers  who 
have  been  cutting  down  their  orders  for 
bulbs  when  he  says  the  risk  is  too  great. 
A  wholesaler's  idea  is  that  if  7  to  9 
bulbs  are  well  handled  they  will  average 
two  flowers  each,  and  that  these  can  be 
Hold  to  net  the  grower  2.1  cents  per 
flower,  or  50  cents  from  a  bulb  costing 
18  cents,  leaving  .{2  cents  for  the 
forcing.  C.  .T.  Michelsen  contrasts  this 
with  bulbs  which  cost  f)  cents  each  in 
pre-war  seasons,  and  two  flowers  at  12 
cents  each  (a  good  average)  producing 
24  cents,  or  19  cents  net  for  the  forcing. 
A.  Miller  thinks  Mr.  Michelsen 's  sug- 
gestion of  2")  cents  per  flower  next 
Easter  is  too  low,  and  that  a  much  better 
price  can  be  had  for  good  stock.  Con- 
sequently most  of  the  commission  men 
recommend  tliat  the  growers  make  the 
investment  in  bulbs. 

The  retailers  one  and  all  ])rotest  that 
lilies  were  too  high  last  Easter  and 
that  they  will  not  push  them  next  Easter 
unless  they  are  cheaper,  but  the  fact 
remains  that  they  sold  pot  stock  to  the 
public  as  high  as  $1  per  flower.

kind  he  ever  had  seen  elsewhere,  and 
that  Kansas  City  impressed  him  as  one 
of  the  best  cities  in  America  for  florists. 

Joseph  Foerster  comments  on  one 
change  in  the  market  situation  which  he 
tliinks  may  not  have  been  fully  ap- 
preciated. Whereas  in  earlier  years  city 
buyers  were  in  the  habit  of  making  the 
complete  rounds  of  the  market  each  day, 
now  most  of  the  buyers  practically  con- 
fine their  purchases  to  one  or  two  houses. 
Mr.  Foerster  thinks  considerate  treat- 
ment has  developed  a  spirit  of  loyalty 
which  is  a  valuable  asset  for  all  con- 
cerned. 

Leases  in  the  Atlas  block,  where  there 
are  sixteen  trade  tenants,  nearly  all  run 
out  May  1,  1920,  or  have  a  90-day  can- 
cellation clause.  In  view  of  what  is 
heard  with  regard  to  rent  increases  else- 
where in  the  downtown  district,  the 
annual  visit  of  the  agent  is  awaited  with 
more  than  usual  interest. 

Grading  is  in  progress  preparatory  to 
doubling  the  glass  area  of  the  Weiss- 
Spandikow  Co.  It  is  probable  that  two 
iron  frame  houses,  72  x  400,  will  be 
erected,  although  details  are  not  yet 
settled. 

A.  Miller  is  spending  the  week  in  De- 
troit, his  first  trip  since  his  return  from 
Japan. 

Bouvardia  has  proved  a  profitable  ad- 
dition to  Henry  Wehrman  's  list  of  spe- 
cialties. The  supply  on  the  market  is 
so  small  that  his  cut  usually  is  spoken 
for  before  it  reaches  his  wholesaler. 

Alois  Frey  writes  from  San  Fernando, 
Cal.,  that  he  has  had  a  strenuous  time 
getting  his  new  place  planted,  but  that 
freesias,  callas,  etc.,  now  are  growing 
nicely. 

P.  C.  Schupp's  establishment,  the  J. 
A.  Endlong  Co.,  has  come  to  be  known 
to  its  friends  as  "The  Corner  House," 
a  title  made  nationally  famous  as  the 
"Street"  nickname  of  J.  P.  Morgan  & 
Co.,  in  New  York. 

P.  J.  Foley,  who  sj)ends  a  considera- 
ablo  part  of  his  time  on  the  road,  de- 
voted tlie  afternoon  of  November  18  to 
visiting  friends  in  the  market.  He  says 
his  company  has  built  more  greenhouses 
in  1919  than  in  any  previous  year,  but 
that  1920  will  be  still  better,  bookings 
the  first  half  of  November  exceeding  the 
best  record  for  the  full  month  in  any 
other  year. 

G.  Denys,  well  known  in  the  vicinity 
of  St.  Louis,  has  joined  the  st-aflf  of  A. 
Henderson  &  Co. 

The  American  Greenhouse  Mfg.  Co. 
will  erect  a  greenhouse  for  Julius  Rosen- 
wald,  on  his  estate  at  Highland  Park. 

A.  T.  Pyfer  was  in  Des  Moines,  la., 
for  two  days  last  week,  attending  the 
Mid-West  Horticultural  Exposition.  Mr. 
Pyfer  reports  an  interesting  and  en- 
thusiastic meeting  and  an  exception- 
ally fine  display  of  flowers. 

R.  B.  Howe,'  of  the  W.  W.  Barnard 
Co.,  left  last  week  to  visit  the  eastern 
markets.  Ho  expects  to  be  absent  about 
a  fortnight. 

A.  J.  Zech  attended  tlic  show  of  the 
Indiana  and  Kentucky  florists  at  In- 
dianapolis last  week.  He  reports  a 
large  attendance  and  fine  exhibition.

A.  B.  Barber,  whose  string  of  Ohio 
stores  has  caused  his  friends  to  chris- 
ten him  "the  Woolworth  of  the  flower 
business,"  was  in  town  November  17 
and  18.  He  is  making  his  arrangements 
witli  the  idea  of  a  record  retail  demand 
in  the  next  few  weeks  and  says  he  will 
open  another  store  whenever  he  finds 
a  man  who  will  run  it  as  he  wants  it 
done. 

James  A.  Brown,  of  Brown's  Bulb 
Ranch,  Capitola,  Cal.,  was  in  town 
November    18,    visiting    customers    and 


looking  over   the   market.     He   was   re- 
turning from  an  Eastern   trip. 


PITTSBURGH. 


The  Market. 

Business  was  fair  last  week,  the 
average  amount  for  the  first  half  of  the 
month  being  far  in  advance  of  that  of 
October.  Chrysanthemums  have  seen 
their  best  days  and  fail  to  meet  the  de- 
mand, although  the  majority  of  those 
coming  in  are  of  good  quality  and  sell- 


ing for  from  $2.50  to  $o  per  dozen.  Pom- 
pons, however,  are  still  coming  in  plen- 
tifully, especially  the  bronzes,  yellows, 
and  whites;  the  pink  "babies"  are 
about  done.  All  are  still  selling  at  50 
cents  per  bunch. 

Eoses  of  all  kinds,  from  American 
Beauties  to  the  short-stemmed  varieties, 
are  scarce,  the  abnormally  warm  weather 
of  a  few  weeks  ago  being  probably  ac- 
countable for  the  present  off  crop.  For- 
tunately there  is  not  so  much  demand 
for  the  Beauties,  which  are  rated  at  $2,

$3,  $4  and  $5.  The  shorter  grades,  how- 
ever, are  much  in  demand. 

Cattleyas  are  scarce,  while  the  de- 
mand is  unusually  large.  The  wholesale 
price  is  $1  apiece. 

Flowers  of  the  later  season  are  begin- 
ning to  show  up  in  greater  or  less  num- 
bers; all  are  of  satisfactory  quality. 
Sweet  peas  are  rated  anywhere  from  $1 
to  $3  per  hundred.  Calendulas  sell  at 
$3  and  $4  per  hundred,  while  narcissi 
are  $6  per  hundred  straight.  Although 
nice  and  tall,  the  latter  are  not  much 
in  favor.  Marguerites  are  a  little  too 
short  to  be  pleasing;  $1  per  hundred  is 
asked  for  the  daisies. 

Of  the  green  stock,  boxwood,  both  the 
tree  and  the  dwarf  varieties,  is  coming 
rapidly  from  Virginia  and  Tennessee 
and  going  out  fully  as  quickly  at  $25 
per  hundred  pounds.  Winter  berries 
have  also  made  their  first  appearance 
for  the  season  of  1919-20  and  have  a 
sales  disposal  of  $3.50  per  box. 

Various  Notes. 

At  the  recent  Heinz  exhibition  at 
Greenlawn,  the  plant  of  Wells'  Late 
Pink,  said  to  carry  1,000  blooms,  at- 
tracted much  attention  in  the  chrysan- 
themum display,  as  did  also  the  collec- 
tion of  crotons.  Frank  Hasslinter  and 
August  W.  Weber  are  in  charge  of  the 
conservatory  and  grounds,  the  former 
having  come  recently  from  three  years 
at  the  Laketon  road  range  of  William 
M.  Turner,  of  Wilkinsburg.  For  some 
time  past  Mr.  Weber  has  been  on  a  farm 
on  Mount  Nebo,  near  Sewickley  Heights. 

Superintendent  George  W.  Burke,  of 
the  bureau  of  parks,  and  Foreman  John 
W.  Jones,  of  Schenlcy  park,  contributed 
the  handsome  floral  decorations  for  the 
third  World's  Christian  Citizenship 
conference  held  in  Syria  Mosque,  the 
Soldiers'  and  Sailors'  Memorial  hall 
and  Carnegie  Music  hall  during  Arm-

has  been  in  charge  of  the  Duquesne

automobiles. 

John  B.  Strayer  has  returned  from  a

partment of  the  A.  W,  Smith  Co.  At 
the  same  time  Kalph  H.  Pinner  was 
away  on  a  similar  mission. 

James  F.  Kilburn,  of  El  Paso,  Tex.,  a 
member  of  the  commercial  engineering 
department  of  the  Carnegie  Institute  of 
Technology,  is  doing  part-time  work  in 
the  sales  room  of  Bandolph  &  McCle-

sociated with  the  designing  department 
of  the  same  firm,  having  recently  dis- 


posed   of    his    business     on    Kirkwood 
street.  East  Liberty. 

The  Elliott  Nursery  Co.  has  just  re- 
ceived a  large  consignment  of  French 
bulbs,  which  were  ordered  by  the  senior 
Mr.  Elliott,  while  he  was  in  France  dur- 
ing the  summer.  The  bulbs  have  been 
held  up  at  the  New  York  dock  for  the 
last  two  months  owing  to  the  transporta- 
tion diflSculties.  The  stock  of  goods  re- 
ceived earlier  in  the  season  amounting  to 
nearly  $100,000  in  value  has  been  en- 
tirely disposed  of.  J.  Wilkinson  Elliott

LOWELL,  MASS. 


The  Market. 

There  has  been  a  continuance  of  rain 
and  dark,  cloudy  weather,  greatly  to  the 
detriment  of  everything.  Chrysanthe- 
mums have  sold  well  in  this  city,  mod- 
erate-sized blooms  bringing  $5  per  dozen. 
Large  Bonnaffons  have  reached  the  high 
mark  of  $1.25  each.  Singles  and  pom- 
pons have  been  numerous  this  season; 
they  have,  however,  found  a  ready  sale. 

On  Armistice  day,  November  11,  by 
the  governor's  proclajnation  a  general 
holiday,  the  stores  downtown  were 
closed  all  day.  Florists  mostly  were 
open  till  noon.  In  Lawrence  flower 
stores  were  tightly  closed  all  day. 

Various  Notes. 

J.  L.  Kenny,  of  Central  street,  is  re- 
ceiving some  extra  fine  chrysanthemums 
from  Wm.  R.  Nicholson,  of  Framingham. 
The  varieties  are  Marigold  and  Bon- 
naffon;  some  of  the  latter  variety  cost 
Mr.  Kenny  as  high  as  $8  per  dozen.

The  Market. 


The  market  has  tightened  up  con- 
siderably and  stock  has  advanced  in 
price  a  little.  The  demand  has  been 
good  in  general.  Chrysanthemums  were 
not  so  plentiful  and  cleaned  up  in  a 
hurry;  large  yellow  mums  were  espe- 
cially scarce.  Pompons  have  suffered 
considerably  and  yet,  after  the  morn- 
ing rush,  about  the  only  thing  to  offer 
was  pompons.  Carnations  have  been 
cleaning  up  well  at  $4  i)cr  hundred. 
Roses  have  been  scarce  since  the  cut 
has  dropped  off  considerably.  Violets 
were  in  demand,  both  single  and  double. 
Narcissi  have  little  demand.  Calendu- 
las, daisies,  marigolds  and  other  novelties 
cleaned  nj)  well.  Greens  have  been 
scarce. 

Various  Notes. 

The  sincere  sympathy  of  the  trade  is 
extended  to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  F.  Hammell 
in  the  loss  of  their  son,  Clayton  D. 
Hammell.  The  funeral  was  held  from 
their  residence,  6002  Curtiss  avenue,

The  Market. 


The  wholesale  market  last  week  was 
not  as  overcrowded  as  it  was  the  week 
previous.  While  the  demand  was  good 
all  the  week,  prices  were  not  so  high  and 
this  helped  to  dispose  of  a  great  deal  of 
surplus  stock  daily.  Chrysanthemums 
arc  still  in  greatest  demand  of  all  sea- 
sonable flowers  and  arc  now  at  their 
best.  During  the  week  ending  Novem- 
ber 15,  some  extra  fancy  show  blooms 
were  seen  in  such  varieties  as  Bonnaf- 
fon,  Dr.  Enguehard,  Turner  and  Chad- 
wick.  The  fancy  stock  cleans  up  well 
daily  at  excellent  prices,  while  in  other 
grades  the  demand  is  not  so  good.  There 
is  an  abundance  of  pompons,  with  slow 
demand  in  all  grades. 

Roses  are  of  excellent  quality,  but 
suffer  to  some  extent  in  demand  during 
the  mum  season,  though  fancy  grades  in 
Premier,  Russell,  Ward  and  Columbia 
always  sell  well.  The  lower  grades  suf- 
fer in  demand  and  price.  There  are 
plenty  of  good  carnations  and  the  same 
applies  to  them  as  to  roses.  The  En- 
chantress varieties  always  have  the  call 
in  this  market,  while  Nebraska,  Ward 
and  Beacon  are  in  favor  for  colored 
stock. 

A  few  excellent  sweet  peas  are  now 
coming  in  and  they  clean  up  daily.  Vio- 
lets, too,  are  in  better  demand  since  the 
cold  spell  put  more  color  into  them, 
with  longer  stems.  Orchids,  valley  and 
Easter  lilies  continue  scarce. 

Paper  Whites  are  becoming  more 
plentiful  each  week.  In  greens,  aspara- 
gus has  a  big  demand  and  is  short  in 
supply,  as  are  fancy  ferns.  Smilax  is 
of  fine  quality  and  sells  well  at  all  times.

new  applicants  be  elected  to  member- 
ship, the  club  would  contain  196.  Only- 
four  more  arc  needed  to  complete  the 
campaign  drive  for  200. 

On  motion  the  club  recommended  the 
name  of  W.  J.  Pilcher  to  President- 
elect A.  L.  Miller,  of  the  S.  A.  F.,  for 
state  vice-president  for  eastern  Mis- 
souri, and  the  secretary  was  instructed 
to  advise  the  president-elect  of  its  rec- 
ommendation. 

F.  C.  Weber  then  spoke  on  the  Sun- 
day closing  question  and  in  a  lengthy 
address  api>ealed  to  the  retailers,  whole- 
salers and  growers  to  close  shop  on  Sun- 
day. 

The  chair  then  appointed  Messrs. 
Bourdet,  Grossart  and  Beyer  to  judge 
the  exhibition  and  report  after  a  recess 
of  five  minutes.  J.  S.  Carter,  head  of 
the  Nicotine  Mfg.  Co.,  gave  an  interest- 
ing talk  on  the  work  of  the  Red  Cross 
Society  in  St.  Louis. 

A  rising  vote  of  thanks  was  extended 
to  Messrs.  Schaeffer  and  Steitz  for  their 
afternoon's  entertainment.  It  was  also 
voted  to  send  all  cut  flowers  on  exhibi- 
tion to  decorate  the  office  of  Mr.  Wilkin- 
son, head  of  the  store.  Treasurer 
Smith 's  report  pleased,  as  it  showed  a 
big  gain  in  the  club  's  finances.  A  vote 
of  thanks  was  also  extended  the  exhib- 
itors. 

After  adjournment  the  members  were 
served  with  refreshments,  which  were 
much  enjoyed  by  all  present. 

Various  Notes. 

The  publicity  committee  held  a  meet- 
ing November  9  at  Bourdet 's  to  con- 
sider plans  for  Thanksgiving  advertis- 
ing. Vernon  Stiels,  who  sings  ' '  Say  It 
with  Flowers,"  was  present  and  sang 
the  song  for  the  benefit  of  the  members. 
He  explained  the  great  amount  of  pub- 
licity he  was  giving  the  florists  in  every 
city  in  which  he  sings  the  song.  He 
said  that  St.  Louis  was  the  first  city  in 
which  the  song  was  introduced,  while 
Chicago  would  have  it  the  week  follow- 
ing. It  was  decided  by  the  committee 
to  send  500  roses  to  each  performance, 
to  be  distributed  by  the  ushers  during

Of  What  and  How  Made.  It  includes  a 
strong  cardboard  foundation  the  outside  of 
which  is  covered  with  best  Quality  Water- 
proof crepe  paper  with  fiber  ribbon  ties  at 
top  and  bottom,  and  all  firmly  put  together 
with  improved  metal  fastenings. 

Low  of  Cost.  It  is  supplied  at  low  enough 
prices  to  allow  of  gratis  disposal,  as  the  im- 
proved appearance  of  the  plant  justifies  ad- 
vanced pricing  that  more  than  offsets  its 
cost. 

A  Time  and  Money  Saver.  Compared 
with  trimming  pots  specially,  with  papers, 
mattings  and  the  like,  itfreely  saves  flower 
store  workers'  time  and  avoids  the  cost  of 
high-priced  materials. 

For  adapting  with  the  varied  colors  and  tints  of  blossoms  and  foliage  these  covers 
are  regularly  supplied  in  the  lollowing  four  standard  colors,  viz.:  GREEN,-  WHITE,

supplies.  They  report  business  good  in 
all  lines. 

James  M.  North,  on  Easton  avenue, 
near  the  city  limits,  reports  that  early 
next  year  he  will  wreck  the  present 
store  and  build  a  large  show  house  with 
an  attractive  front. 

Pierre  Schneider,  who  recently  built 
a  new  range  at  Clayton,  has  started  cut- 
ting carnations  and  sweet  peas,  which 
are  of  fine  quality. 

Visitors  during  the  last  week  were 
Julius  Dilloff,  of  Wertheimer  Bros.,  New 
York;  George  Madsen,  Alton,  111.;  M.  F. 
Widmer,  of  Highland,  111.;  Gust  Gros-

wardsville.  111.;  Charles  G.  Johann,  Col- 
Hnsville,  111, 


Edward  Steitz,  who  has  charge  of 
the  bulbs  at  Vandervoort's  floral  depart- 
ment, says  the  sales  last  week  were 
larger  than  any  year  since  the  opening 
of  that  branch. 

Ernest  Henchel,  for  the  last  ten  years 
foreman  for  Sanders  Nursery,  has  re- 
signed his  position.  Edgar  Sanders, 
who  recently  returned  from  China, 
where  he  served  in  the  navy,  and  his 
brother  Frank  will  have  charge  of  the 
greenhouses  and  Oliver  K.  will  be  man- 
ager of  the  retail  store,  on  Clara  avenue. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Gust  W.  Grossart,  of 
Belleville,  were  visitors  at  the  city 
greenhouses'  mum  show  during  the 
week.  Their  son,  Arno,  who  manages 
the  retail  end  of  their  establishment, 
reports  trade  excellent  in  all  lines. 

Every  Wednesday   night   finds   a   full 


attendance  of  florist  bowlers  at  the 
alleys.  November  12  the  Carnations 
surprised  all  by  winning  three  games 
from  the  strong  Sweet  Peas,  who  gave 
them  a  30-pin  handicap,  and  the  Daisies, 
with  a  25-pin  handicap,  won  the  odd 
game  from  the  Roses.  The  standing  of 
the  teams,  including  last  Wednesday's 
bowling,  shows  the  Carnations  and 
Sweet  Peas  in  a  tie  for  first  place,  with 
the  Roses  only  one  game  out  of  first 
place  and  the  Daisies  trailing  the 
league.  New  alleys  have  been  selected 
and,  beginning  November  19,  the  teams 
will  bowl  at  the  northeast  corner  of 
Compton  and  Shenandoah  avenues, 
where  better  bowling  is  looked  for.

For  Thanksgiving  Day 

we  expect  to  have  a  large 

SUPPLY  OF  GOOD  MUMS 

Our  growers  will  be  cutting  Chrysanthemums  in  quantity 
for  that  day.  We  will  be  very  strong  in  such  varieties  as 
Chadwick,  Bonnaffon  and  Seidewitz. 

POMPONS 

This  is  another  item  we  expect  to  have  in  quantity  and 
large  selection  of  varieties, 

CARNATIONS 

will  be  in  good  supply  and  you  can  depend  on  us  for  some 
very  good  stock. 

Thanksgiving  will  be  a  busy  day  this  year  and  you 
should  not  neglect  to  place  your  order  early. 


BoxwooJ 

We  are  now  booking  orders 
for  Boxwood  for  immediate 
and  later  delivery.  There 
was  a  shortage  last  year 
and  the  supply  will  not  be 
any  larger  this  season.  Make 
sure  of  your  requirements 
and  place  your  order  now. 

The  Boxwood  we  handle 
is  the  best.  We  sell  more 
of  it  every  year.  This  is 
the  best  ndication  that  we 
have  the  right  kind  of  stock. 

Lycopodium 

The  supply  of  Lycopodium 
is  limited.  It  is  cleaned  and 
put  up  in  bunches.    You  will

The  Market. 

The  cut  flower  market  is  full  of  activ- 
ity. The  close  of  the  outdoor  season  and 
the  cold  weather  have  put  snap  into 
business.  Prices  have  commenced  ad- 
vancing, but  it  is  for  quality  that  higher 
figures  are  paid;  low  grade  flowers  sel- 
dom are  wanted.  Fancy  chrysanthe- 
mums have  gone  up  to  $5  per  dozen, 
carnations  to  $5  per  hundred  and  vio- 
lets to  $1.50  per  hundred. 

All  the  cleverest  chrysanthemum 
growers  are  sending  in  their  best  stock 
now.  Eaton,  Chadwick  in  two  colors, 
Dean,  Bonnaffon,  Rager  and  Chieftain 
are  among  the  leading  varieties.  Pink 
is  hard  to  get.  Many  more  of  that  color 
are  asked,  but  not  given.  Pompons  are 
selling  decidedly  better.  Th?  name 
pompon  is  now  supposed  to  include  also 
the  singles,  semi-doubles  and  anemone 
flowers,  much  in  demand  for  decorating 
the  center  of  the  festive  board.  Many 
of  the  carnations  are  hardly  so  good  as 
usual  at  this  season,  but  there  is  some 
excellent  stock.  Laddie  looks  particu- 
larly well.  Some  of  this  variety  are 
bringing  $6  per  hundred. 

Roses  are  not  plentiful  and  will  not 
be  so  for  a  while.  Long  Beauties  are  60 
cents  each.  Fancy,  long-stemmed  flow- 
ers of  other  varieties  bring  15  to  25  cents 
each.  There  are  few  of  them.  Red 
roses  are  scarce.  Ophelia  is  fairly  plen- 
tiful. Columbia  probably  is  uext."^  Both 
orchids  and  valley  are  scarce  and  likely 
to  remain  so.    Stevia  has  come.

paid  to  the  greenhouses  of  a  noted  rose 
grower  to  see  his  Premier.  With  pleas- 
ure at  the  earliest  opportunity — only  first 
let  this  bo  clearly  understood,  that  the 
paragraph  expressing  the  opinion  that 
Russell  was  ahead  for  that  part  of  the 
season  now  past,  the  warm  weather 
period  of  late  summer  and  early  fall, 
had  nothing  whatever  to  do  with  the 
growing  abilities  of  the  two  varieties. 
It  was  a  market  report,  pure  and  simple, 
based  solely  on  the  selling  records  of  the 
two  varieties  as  received  in  this  mar- 
ket. Whether  Premier  is  a  better  cold 
weather  rose  and  whether  our  growers 
know  yet  how  to  grow  it  arc  different 
questions,  that   will  be  decided  later. 

Statice. 

The  enterprise  of  Sydney  II.  Baycrs- 
dorfer  has  brought  here  a  flower  once 
well  known,  that  lias  been  absent  for 
four  ye.ars.  Mr.  Bayersdorfer  went 
abroad   in  July   to   secure   some   of   the 


things  our  florists  like  and  have  not  had 
since  commerce  was  interrupted.  Among 
them  was  the  pretty  white-flowered 
statice  so  much  used  in  making  up 
wreaths,  Mr,  Bayersdorfer  says  that 
the  statice  he  got  is  good,  just  as  good 
as  he  has  ever  seen  it.  As  he  held  up  a 
spray  in  his  hand  last  week  he  expressed 
the  hope  that  his  florist  friends  would 
use  it. 

An   Evil. 

Every  stage  of  progress  in  an  indus- 
try is  marked  by  bad  points  as  well  as 
good.  There  is  an  evil  in  the  plant  in- 
dustry today  that  is  serious  and  ought 
to  be  stamped  out.  I  refer  to  the  send- 
ing out  of  plants  that  are  below  grade. 
This  evil  is  most  conspicuous  in  those 
plants  that  are  most  difficult  of  cultiva- 
tion and  in  the  novelties.  It  is  due  to 
the  scarcity  of  stock  and  to  the  craze 
for  novelties.  It  is  most  frequently  seen 
in  the  plants  sent  out  from  small  pots.

Of  these  many  are  jjut  back  into  pots 
from  which  they  were  taken  and  then 
nursed  for  weeks  before  health  and 
vigor  are  secured.  Many  are  put  back 
into  the  cutting  bed.  Many  die.  Few 
can  stand  more  room  for  their  roota  at 
once.  This  means  that  stock,  after  be- 
ing sold  at  a  high  price,  is  not  worth  the 
price  asked  and  accepted.  It  is  not  of 
standard  size.  It  is,  therefore,  a  dis- 
honest plant.  The  recipient  of  such 
stock  ought  to  send  it  back,  but  does 
not,  for  two  reasons.  First,  because  he 
wants  the  stock  and  hopes  to  get  it  into 
shape.  Second,  because  sending  it  back 
will  probably  insure  its  partial  or  total 
loss. 

The  remedy  is  a  higher  standard  of 
business  morality  for  all  of  us.  We 
should  send  out  only  what  is  fit.  We 
should  accept  nothing  that  is  unfit.  We 
should  see  that  the  stock  is  exactly  as 
represented.  When  this  is  done  our 
business  will  have  taken  a  step  forward.

note  and  point  out  the  latest  improve-

was  the  practical  test  applied  by  the

single  leak,  a  unique  and  pleasing  ex- 
perience even  in  a  perfectly  good,  new 
house.  The  house  is  70x600  feet,  a  gem 
of  its  kind,  strong,  light,  well  ventilated, 
a  house  to  delight  the  heart  of  a  grower. 
.Tames  W.  Heacock,  president  of  the 
company,  is  much  pleased  with  it. 

There  are  other  distinctly  modern 
things  about  this  house  besides  its  con- 
struction. Take  the  time,  for  instance. 
It  was  built  in  the  summer  and  fall  in- 
stead of  in  the  spring.  No  effort  to 
rush  it  through  and  plant  it  in  quick 
time,  with  the  result  of  neglecting  the 
rest  of  the  place.  No  planting  late, 
with  the  effect  of  missing  results  the 
first  season. 

Half  of  the  new  house  is  being  used 
for  sweet  peas,  calendulas  and  callas. 
The  other  half  will  be  fitted  with  tem- 
porary tables  and  used  for  young  rose 
plants  in  214 -inch  and  later  in  3-inch 
pots.  These  benches  will  give  way  to

The  Market. 

After  the  latest  season  on  record  we 
have  had  killing  frost.  There  was  a 
light  frost  November  5,  but  it  did  little 
damage.  The  first  real  frost  came  No- 
vember 14,  when  the  thermometer  regis- 
tered as  low  as  18  and  20  degrees  in 
some  places.    This  put  an  end  to  outside 


stock  and  immediately  trade  began  to 
pick  up.  This  is  the  first  time  dahlias 
were  ever  known  to  bloom  themselves 
out.  As  a  rule,  frost  gets  them  before 
the  crop  is  over. 

Roses  are  scarce  and  small;  other- 
wise there  is  plenty  of  good  stock.  Car- 
nations are  becoming  better  and  more 
plentiful  every  day.  Chrysanthemum 
season  promises  to  be  long  drawn  out 
this  year.     It  might  be  said  that  they

are  still  at  their  best.  Such  varieties  as 
Seidewitz,  Chieftain,  White  and  Pink 
Frick,  Dolly  Dimple  and  others  are  now 
in  strong  evidence.  Tliere  is  a  good  crop 
of  orchids,  which  have  been  used  to 
good  advantage  for  parties  during  the 
week.  Cut  narcissi  are  beginning  to 
make  their  appearance. 

Various  Notes. 

A.  H.  Dailey  is  cutting  some  choice 
sweet  peas  and  some  good  chrysanthe- 
mums. 

A.  J.  McNutt  has  a  fine  prospect  for 
roses.  The  crop  is  rather  light  just 
now,  the  stock  having  been  cut  back  for 
Christmas.  He  goes  in  rather  strongly 
for  Ophelia,  Columbia  and  Kaiserin.  He 
has  some  choice  pepper  and  cherry 
plants  that  will  soon  be  ready  for  the 
market. 

At  the  greenhouses  of  Chas.  W. 
Crouch  the  chrysanthemums  attract  at- 
tention by  the  vigorous  growth  of  the 
plants  and  the  large  blooms;  among 
them  are  such  varieties  as  Seidewitz, 
Chieftain,  White  and  Pink  Frick,  Har- 
vard and  Patty.  There  is  a  good  house 
of  Columbia  roses  and  a  house  of  sweet 
peas  that  have  just  begun  to  bloom.  H. 
Brockway  Crouch  has  been  in  charge  of 
the  greenhouses  for  the  last  year  and 
has  made  a  number  of  marked  improve- 
ments. 

C.  U.  Baum  has  had  much  funeral 
work  during  the  last  week  and  a  heavy 
demand  for  flowers  for  parties  and  re- 
ceptions. Some  fine  orchids,  chrysan- 
themums and  carnations  are  being  cut. 

A.  E.  Weaver,  of  the  Rhea  Floral  Co., 
Greencville,  Tcnn.,  was  in  Knoxville

The  Market. 


The  market  last  week  was  in  good 
condition.  All  outdoor  stock  has  been 
killed  off  except,  ))erhaps,  some  chrys- 
anthemums. Medium-sized  mums  were 
not  so  plentiful  as  they  might  have 
been,  but  there  is  as  fine  quality  stock 
to  be  had  as  has  ever  been  seen  on  this 
market.  There  is  the  usual  amount  of 
pompons,  but  as  these  seem  to  stand 
more  frost  than  other  varieties,  those 
from  outside  are  hurting  the  sale  of  the 
indoor  ones.  Roses  and  carnations  are 
in  fair  supply,  quite  enough  for  ail  pur- 
poses while  the  mum  rush  lasts.  Sweet 
peas  are  still  scarce,  as  are  also  violets. 
VoT  the  next  week  or  two,  tiie  market 
will  be  principally  a  chrysantliomum  one

Club  Meeting. 

The  regular  meeting  of  the  Florists' 
Club  was  held  November  10,  with  the 
new  president,  William  F.  Ekas,  in  the 
chair.  As  required  Jiy  the  by-laws,  one 
of  liis  first  duties  was  to  appoint  the  en- 
tertainment and  membcrsiiip  commit- 
tees. Eobert  L.  Graham,  Jr.,  was  made 
chairman  of  the  entertainment,  and 
William  E.  McKissick  of  "the  member- 
ship committee.  These  committees  are 
composed   largely   of   young  and  active 


members  and  with  two  such  leaders 
these  committees  should  be  heard  from 
this  winter.  One  feature  of  the  meet- 
ing that  was  quite  noticeable  was  that 
it  was  a  young  men's  meeting,  there 
being  more  of  the  younger  members 
present  than  have  been  seen  at  any  meet- 
ing in  several  years.  From  the  time  the 
president's  gavel  fell  till  the  meeting 
adjourned,  there  was  not  a  dull  moment. 
Four  new  members  were  elected  and 
these  were  all  young  men.  There  are  any 
number  of  young  men  who  are  connected 
with  the  business,  but  who  are  not  mem- 
bers, so  that  the  new  membership  com-

judging  from  the  way  this  new  admin-

Such  men  as  J.  J.  Perry,  William  E.  Me- 
Kissick,  Claymor  Sieck  and  James  L. 
Towner  all  seemed  to  lean  towards  the 
Double  White  Killarney,  with  Columbia 
a  close  second.  This  would  seem  to  in- 
dicate that  the  most  popular  rose  is  the 
one  that  is  most  salable.  Growers  like 
Isaac  H.  Moss  and  retailers  like  Robert 
L.  Graham,  Jr.,  Albert  Fiedler  and  Will- 
iam J.  Johnston  were  strong  for  Ophelia. 
All  had  their  reasons,  but  then  they  are 
all  good  and  all  popular. 

Flowers  in  a  War  Window. 

The  getting  away  from  custom  in  any 
line  of  endeavor,  that  is,  not  doing  a 
certain  piece  of  work  along  prescribed 
lines  simply  because  others  do  it  in  that 
way,  was  well  demonstrated  on  Armis- 
tice day  by  a  window  decoration  at 
Mary  .Johnston  's.  Robert  Johnston  has 
been  studying  this  window  ever  since  he 
returned  from  overseas.  To  harmonize 
the  im])lements  of  Mars  and  anything  so 
peaceful  as  flowers  required  months  of 
study  and  thought  and  when  the  decora- 
tion was  completed  it  was  demon- 
strated that  Mr.  Johnston  had  evolved  a 
scheme  of  successful  harmony.  The 
central  thought  in  this  decoration  was 
lasting  jteace.  This  was  symbolized  by 
a  pillar  in  the  center  of  the  window- 
draped  in  a  silk  American  flag  sur- 
mounted by  a  dove,  which  carried  in  its 
bill  a  white  ribbon  bearing  the  inscrip- 
tion, "Peace  to  All  the  World."  He 
had  on  either  side  at  the  base  a  jar  of 
Bonnaffon  mums  labeled  the  armistice 
flower,  while  in  front  of  all  this  w-as  a 
grim  reminder  of  what  this  peace  had 
cost  this  country.  This  he  had  worked 
out  by  using  the  complete  equipment  he 
had    worn    for   eigliteen   months   on   the

a  collection  of  souvenirs  taken  from  the 
enemy.  Then  there  was  a  bulletin  board, 
on  which  were  placed  the  copies  of 
forty-two  individual  citations  of **  mem- 
bers of  the  unit  of  which  he  Wa/s  a 
member,  the  U.  S.  Army  Ambulance 
Corps  of  the  First  Division.  This  win- 
dow attracted  a  great  deal  of  atten- 
tion, and  Mr.  Johnston  received  a  lot  of 
commendation  for  the  manner  in  which 
he  had  worked  out  the  idea.     '    Tate. 


DETROIT,  MICH. 


Tlie  Market. 

Several  decorations  of  note  occurred 
last  week  which  moved  some  of  the  sur- 
plus in  the  market,  but  large  quantities 
still  remained.  Business  picked  up  a 
bit  compared  to  the  previous  week,  but 
it  is  not  yet  equal  to  the  increased  cuts 
of  several  of  the  larger  mum  growers. 
It  must  be  remembered  that  Detroit' 
retailers  buy  a  good  amount  of  stock 
from  out  of  town,  so  that  it  can  be  said 
that  more  stock  is  being  sold  in  Detroit 
than  was  the  case  last  year. 

American  Beauties  are  of  high-grade 
quality;  their  demand  was  a  bit  slow 
the  first  part  of  the  week,  but  the  latter 
part  of  the  week  they  \Vere  all  marked 
sold  for  one  order  going  to  the  De- 
troit soldiers  who  died  in  Eussia  and 
whoso  bodies  reached  Detroit  Sunday, 
November  16.  The  short-stemmed  Beau- 
ties are  in  a  glut.  Premiers  continue 
high  grade,  meeting  a  poor  demand,  but 
as  they  are  short  in  supply  they  usually 
find  a  buyer.  Columbias  are  fair  in  qual- 
ity, short  in  supply  with  the  demand 
good,  all  grades  clearing  each  day. 
Ophelia  is  also  short  in  supply,  but,  as 
there  are  more  Ophelia  growers,  there  is 
a  larger  supply  of  Ophelia  than  of  any 
other  variety.  Sunburst  is  inclined  to 
be  small  in  bud  and  weak  stemmed,  but 
as  it  is  short  in  sui)ply  it  finds  the  buyer. 

Carnations  are  becoming  better  in 
quality,  with  large  quantities  of  all  col- 
ors. The  demand  is  only  fair,  while  the 
supply  keeps  increasing.  At  times 
even  the  best  grades  are  inclined  to  glut. 
Mums  are  in  profusion,  in  all  grades  of 
quality  and  variety  of  color.  Large  white 
and  yellow  Turners,  all  beautiful  speci- 
mens, are  to  be  had,  the  demand  being 
about  equal  to  the  supply.  Bonnaffons 
of  fair  quality  are  plentiful.  Eatons  are 
of  fine  quality,  also  Chadwicks,  and  are 
readily    disposed    of.      The    first    Patty 


mums  of  the  season  made  a  big  hit  with 
the  buyers,  being  of  strong  stem  and 
large  in  bloom.  Mums  are  clearing  each 
day,  excepting  white,  which  are  slower 
to  move.  Pompons  find  the  market  wait- 
ing for  them,  and  many  boxes  are  moved 
each  morning.  Only  a  small  amount  of 
the  poorer  grades  is  inclined  to  stock  up. 
Mum  plants  are  in  good  supply,  with  a 
poor  demand. 

Sweet  peas  are  on  the  increase  and 
are  quickly  disposed  of,  being  of  espe- 
cially high  quality.  Violets  are  improv- 
ing in  quality  and  find  a  brisk  demand. 
Calendulas  are  plentiful  and  help  to  fill 
in,  being  of  good  quality.  Paper  Whites 
are  increasing  in  supply,  but  as  yet  the 
demand  is  poor.  Calla  lilies  also  are  in- 
clined to  go  to  waste.  Greens  of  all 
kinds  are  abundant.

Various  Notes. 

Sunday,  November  16,  tlie  dead  of  the 
.'?.31)th  Infantry,  composed  of  Michigan 
boys  who  served  in  Russia,  returned  to 
this  city  and  were  placed  on  army  trucks 


at  the  Michigan  Central  depot,  whence,     ] 
with  proper  escort,  they  were  taken  to'      ' 
the  Detroit  armory.     The  line  of  mar-  h       ■ 
was    lined    with    school    children    wlio      | 
threw  bouquets  of  flowers  on  the  flat;-       I 
covered  caskets.     The  armory  was  elc-      " 
gantly  decorated  with  flowers.    The  De- 
troit  florists  sent    wreaths    of  flowers, 
enough  for  each  casket,  and  many  others 
for  decoration.    Many  florists  had  large 
orders  for  the  dead  soldiers.    One  order 
called  for  nineteen  sprays  of  American 
Beauties,  from  three  to  four  dozen  long- 
stemmed  Beauties  to  a  spray.     Several 
stores  had  impressive  window  displays 
in  honor  of  the  boys.     The  window  of 
John  Breitmeyer's  Sons'     Park  Flower 
Shop  had  800  long-stemmed  Beauties  on 
display    in    connection    with    flags    and 
memorial  wreaths. 

The  annual  mum  show  opened  at  the 
Belle  Isle  conservatories  under  the  su- 
pervision of  Robert  Flowerday,  with  a 
display  of  3,500  mums  of  all  colors  and 
varieties.  Among  the  large  varieties  are 
Glenview,  Daily  Mail,  Nagirroc,  Golden 
Wedding  and  Nerissa.  A  freak  flower 
developed  by  Mr.  Flowerday  last  year 
is  a  shaggy  Japanese  variety  in  mixed 
colors.  Four  huge  hanging  baskets  filled 
with  trailing  varieties  of  the  smallest 
pompons  completed  the  show. 

The  Detroit  Florists'  Club  held  its 
regular  meeting  Tuesday  evening,  No- 
vember 18,  at  the  Statler  hotel. 

Tom  Browne,  of  Greenfield,  Mich.,  is 
cutting  quantities  of  the  best  mums 
grown  in  this  vicinity.  His  Patty  is  of 
wonderful  quality,  measuring  six  inches 
and  more  acros.s. 

R.  Y.  Leslie,  of  the  Detroit  Green- 
houses, Redford,  Mich.,  is  cutting  sweet 
peas  of  good  quality  in  the  long-stemmed 
Spencer  varieties. 

Fred  Breitmeyer,  of  Mount  Clemens, 
is  cutting  a  fine  lot  of  Bonnaffon  mums, 
also   pompons. 

The  Mount  Clemens  mum  growers  are 
experiencing  some  difficulty  in  shipping 
their  mums  so  that  they  arrive  in  good 
condition.  The  flowers  are  slightly 
marred  as  if  from  the  print  of  the  news- 
papers with  which  some  are  covered  or 
else  from  the  vibration  of  the  motor 
trucks  that  bring  them  in  each  day. 

Peter  Papes,  of  the  Central  Flower 
Co.,  has  returned  from  Chicago,  where 
he  has  been  for  the  last  three  weeks. 

H.  Wells,  formerly  of  the  Michigan 
Cut  Flower  Exchange,  is  now  with  the 
Peter  Eeuss  Co.,  on  Broadway.    H.  T.

Buying  BillBoards. 

The  flnt  complete  order  for  a  bill- 
board sign,  that  is,  an  order  accom- 
panied by  a  check  covering  the  pricf , 
$50,  was  received  from  the  Springfield 
Floral  CJo.,  Springfield,  N.  J.;  the  sign 
is  to  be  installed  on  the  company 's  prop- 
erty along  a  much  traveled  highway. 
Florists  ordering  billboard  signs  are  re- 
quested to  observe  the  requirement  of 
our  committee  that  cash  accompany  the 
order.  The  reason  for  this  is  obvious. 
Tinder  the  terms  of  our  contract  with 
the  manufacturers  of  the  billboards,  we 


are  obliged  to  make  prompt  payment  of 
all  invoices  in  order  to  get  the  specially 
low  price  on  our  quantity  liability  and, 
if  our  requirement  were  not  met,  we 
should  have  to  face  the  temporary  neces- 
sity of  meeting  the  liability  from  our 
fund,  which  would  not  be  right,  for  it 
would  tend  to  impede  our  publicity 
work.  A  billboard  purchased  individu- 
ally would  cost  $95  at  the  factory,  while 
we  supply  them  under  our  contract  for 
$50,  delivered  at  any  railroad  station  in 
the  United  States.  We  have  orders 
pledged  covering  100  of  the  billboards, 
some  of  the  pledges  covering  four  bill- 
boards each.  Our  committee  is  anxious 
to  get  500  of  these  splendid  publicity

NATIONAL  PUBUCITT  CAMPAIGN. 


Bnylng  BillSoards. 

The  first  complete  order  for  a  bill- 
board sign,  that  is,  an  order  accom- 
panied by  a  check  covering  the  pric#, 
$50,  was  received  from  the  Springfield 
Floral  Co.,  Springfield,  N.  J.;  the  sign 
is  to  be  installed  on  the  company 's  prop- 
erty along  a  much  traveled  highway. 
Florists  ordering  billboard  signs  are  re- 
qaested  to  observe  the  requirement  of 
onr  committee  that  cash  accompany  the 
order.  The  reason  for  this  is  obvious. 
Under  the  terms  of  our  contract  with 
the  manufacturers  of  the  billboards,  we 


are  obliged  to  make  prompt  payment  of 
all  invoices  in  order  to  get  the  specially 
low  price  on  our  quantity  liability  and, 
if  our  requirement  were  not  met,  we 
should  have  to  face  the  temporary  neces- 
sity of  meeting  the  liability  from  our 
fund,  which  would  not  be  right,  for  it 
would  tend  to  impede  our  publicity 
work.  A  billboard  purchased  individn- 
ally  would  cost  $95  at  the  factory,  while 
we  supply  them  under  our  contract  for 
$50,  delivered  at  any  railroad  station  in 
the  United  States.  We  have  orders 
pledged  covering  100  of  the  billboards, 
some  of  the  pledges  covering  four  bill- 
boards each.  Our  committee  is  anxious 
to  get  500  of  these  splendid  publicity

ter  slogans  of  their  ovm.  One  such  per- 
son quite  recently  applied  for  the  privi- 
lege of  using  it  in  connection  with  pub- 
licity for  candy.  He  proposed  to  use 
it  in  the  following  way: 

"Say  It  with  Flowers." 
"Prove  It  with  Candy." 

Needless  to  say,  our  committee  does  not 
approve  of  a  proposition  of  this  kind. 
Our  slogan  has  cost  too  much  to  get  be- 
fore the  public  to  permit  its  use  in  the 
interests  of  other  industries.  Expert 
publicity  men  concede  that  its  value  to 
us  is  not  less  than  $1,000,000  as  an  in- 
vestment. Our  friends  are  asked  to  keep 
on  the  lookout  for  any  misuse  of  it.  Let 
us  also  suggest  that  florists  who  are 
using  it  be  sure  to  use  it  in  the  script 
form  adopted  for  all  our  publicity. 
While  printers  as  a  rule  cannot  duplicate 
the  form  from  ordinary  type,  our  promo- 
tion bureau  provides  at  small  cost  elee- 
trotyped  lines  in  a  variety  of  sizes  and

adaptable  for  any  purpose.  They  malce 
a  wonderful  difference  in  the  appear- 
ance of  the  slogan. 

Now  won't  you,  Mr.  Non-subscriber, 
wake  up  to  the  importance  of  immedi- 
ately subscribing  to  the  campaign  fundf 
You  are  receiving  the  benefit  of  our 
publicity — we  cannot  prevent  that,  even 
if  we  should  wish  to  do  so.  Our  cam- 
paign is  conducted  on  broad  lines,  as  it 
ought  to  be — but  who  should  pay  for  the 
publicity  if  not  those  who  receive  bene- 
fit from  itt  He  must  have  a  heart  of 
flint  who  will  not  contribute  his  mite  to 
the  fund.  Our  committee  works  hard  to 
make  every  dollar  count  in  the  publicity 
— and  the  detail  work  in  connection 
with  it  is  costing  much  less  than  such 
work  has  cost  most  other  campaigns. 
There  is  no  wastage,  not  a  penny  goes 
astray,  nor  is  likely  to  under  the  sharp 
eyes  of  the  gentlemen  who  are  directing 
the  campaign  and  are  prominent  con- 
tributors to  the  fund  themselves. 

Don't  let  another  week  pass,  but  sit 
down  at  once  and  send  off  your  check  to 
the  secretary.  The  amount  need  cause 
you  no  anxiety — send  whatever  you 
think  you  can  afford.

dings  last  week  made  a  demand  for  val- 
ley, which  retails  at  $4  per  dozen.  There 
was  a  great  demand  for  poppies  for  Ar- 
mistice day  and  anything  that  looked 
like  a  poppy,  though  artificial,  was  dis- 
posed of  quickly  and  many  hundreds 
more  could  have  been  sold  if  stock  had 
been  procurable.  Pompons  are  good 
property  and  the  stock  is  good  in  both 
size  and  color.  The  first  appearance  of 
the  Mensa  varieties  came  last  week  and 
the  beautiful  daisy-like  flowers  find  a 
ready  sale.  Greens  are  plentiful  and 
galax  leaves  are  a  big  factor  in  design 
work  at  this  time  of  the  year.

Matthew  Schiltz,  of  the  Ove  Gnatt  Co.,

ingly good;  he  is  booking  many  large

Here  we  are  in  the  midst  of  a  chrysan-  i 
themum  season,  a  time  when  stock  is 
usually  plentiful,  fighting  for  a  supply. 
It  is  a  surprising  fact  that  we  have  a 
shortage  of  stock  equal  to,  if  not  more 
severe  than,  the  one  a  year  ago  during 
the  epidemic.  Armistice  day,  chrysan- 
themums which  could  be  had  for  $10  per 
hundred  a  year  ago  brought  $12.50  and

at  that  there  were  not  enough  of  them 
to  go  around.  Some  are  inclined  to  be- 
lieve that  the  extensive  advertising 
campaign  carried  on  in  the  News  and 
the  Courier  bore  fruit.  At  least  one 
thing  is  a  fact,  that  the  investment  in 
publicity  has  already  brought  returns, 
and  many  are  enthusiastic  about  carry- 
ing on. 

In  a  market  such  as  we  have,  with 
only  one  wholesale  house  and  over  a 
half  million  population,  demand  and  sup- 
ply are  readily  noticeable.  A  slow  day 
or  two  will  cause  an  accumulation  and  a 
good  demand  will  cause  a  shortage  over 
night.  In  such  a  busy  city  as  this  it  is 
strange  that  there  is  not  a  single  range 
devoted  to  roses.  At  least  two-thirds 
of  our  supply  must  come  from  distant 
points.  As  for  orchids,  they  are  rarely 
seen  at  the  wholesale  house.  A  few  are 
grown  by  one  retailer  for  his  own  trade.

State  Florists  Meet. 

The  November  meeting  of  the  Min- 
nesota State  Florists'  Association  was 
held  at  the  Minneapolis  park  green- 
houses November  11.  About  twenty- 
five  florists  were  in  attendance. 

After  the  inspection  of  the  chrys- 
anthemum show,  a  regular  business 
meeting  of  the  organization  was  held. 
Reports  of  the  summer  meeting  of  the 
Society  of  American  Florists,  at  De- 
troit, were  given  by  Hans  Rosacker,  of 
Minneapolis,  and  Le  Roy  Cady,  of  St. 
Paul.  Interesting  accounts  of  the  Buf- 
falo meeting  of  the  F.  T.  D.  Association 
were  given  by  O.  J.  Olson,  of  St.  Paul, 
and  Calvin  Kinsman,  of  Austin,  Minn.

BBAMPTON,  ONT. 


The  Market. 

Business  is  still  on  the  increase  and 
signs  already  indicate  that  florists  are 
making  their  arrangements  well  ahead 
for  an  exceptionally  busy  Christmas. 
The  chrysanthemum  season  is  nearly 
over  and  it  can  hardly  be  said  that  re- 
sults are  up  to  last  year 's  standard. 

Various  Notes. 

At  the  exhibition  held  at  Toronto  last 
week  by  the  Ontario  Horticultural  Asso- 
ciation, the  chrysanthemum  blooms 
showed  to  good  advantage  in  their  group 
effect,  but  there  was  no  outstanding 
specimen  to  suggest  that  anything  un- 
usual had  been  accomplished  by  any  of 
the  growers  during  the  war.  In  the  eir- 
eumstances,  perhaps  this  was  only  to  be 
expected.  Carnations  made  a  good  show* 
ing.  The  way  in  which  the  Toronto  Flo- 
rists' Association  joined  forces  with  the 
Ontario  Horticultural  Association  to 
bring  about  this  exhibition  demon- 
strated that  the  Toronto  association  is

an  organization  to  be  reckoned  with. 
Their  ' '  Say  It  with  Flowers  * '  campaign 
week  before  last  in  the  interests  of  the 
various  hospitals  of  Toronto  was  unique 
in  its  way  and  made  such  an  appeal  to 
the  public  that  the  principal  motion  pic- 
ture houses  responded  by  showing  a  de- 
scriptive and  entertaining  film,  which 
should  have  far-reaching  effects  on  the 
minds  of  flower  lovers.  The  Dale  Estate 
made  a  dozen  entries  in  the  Toronto  ex- 
hibition and  was  awarded  ten  firsts  and 
two  seconds. 

J.  E.  Cooper^  assistant  manager  of  the 
Dale  Estate,  returned  November  14 
from  his  honeymoon  trip  to  New  York. 

E.  B.  Hamilton  visited  this  town  on 
his  way  back  to  London,  Ont.,  from  the 
Toronto  exhibition.  He  appears  to  have 
revitalized  some  of  the  forces  at  work 
in  the  interest  of  the  C.  H.  A.  and  is  con- 
tinuing the  process  of  inoculation.

The  Maxket. 

Mums  are  fairly  plentiful  now  and 
are  in  prime  condition,  but  there  is  de- 
mand for  every  one  being  cut,  as  there 
is  for  all  other  stock,  the  variety  of 
which  is  limited.  Carnations  are  com- 
iiijr  in  a  little  better.  Killarney  and 
White  Killarney,  Ophelia  and  Ward 
are  from  $6  to  $10  per  hundred.  Eus- 
sell,  Premier,  Columbia  and  Milady 
range  from  $10  to  $20.  As  usual  when 
mums  are  at  their  best,  there  is  a  short- 
age of  roses.  Growers  are  getting  their 
crops  in  shape  for  Christmas.  Pom- 
pons are  the  same  as  last  week,  50  and 
7.")  cents  a  bunch.

was  the  biggest  college  event  of  the 
year,  bringing  hundreds  of  visitors  from 
nearby  states.  The  Missouri  colors  are 
orange  and  black  and  this  caused  a 
lieavy  demand  for  yellow  mums.  • 

Because  the  wrecking  company 
wanted  to  begin  tearing  down  the  old 
building,  Ed  A.  Humfeld  moved  into 
his  new  store  a  few  days  earlier  than 
he  had  intended  and  b?fore  the  build- 
ing was  cpiite  complete  in  the  way  of 
heat  and  light,  but  it  will  be  finished 
in  another  week.  The  new  store  is  on 
Admiral  boulevard,  opj)osite  the  Paseo, 
where  Mr.  Humfeld  has  owned  property 
for  a  number  of  years.  The  store  is  of 
white  stucco  with  a  green  roof,  unlike

attractive,  in  keeping  with  the  location.

arc  in  prime  condition,  but  there  is  de- 
mand for  every  one  being  cut,  as  there 
is  for  all  other  stock,  the  variety  of 
wliich  is  limited.  Carnations  are  com- 
iiiii'  in  a  little  better.  Killarney  and 
White  Killarney,  Ophelia  and  Ward 
aic  from  $6  to  $10  per  hundred.  Eus- 
scll,  Premier,  Columbia  and  Milady 
range  from  $10  to  $20.  As  usual  when 
mums  are  at  their  best,  there  is  a  short- 
ajii'  of  roses.  Growers  arc  getting  their 
crops  in  shape  for  Christmas.  Pom-

Business  was  quite  poor  all  last  week, 
with  the  exception  of  the  opening  day. 
It  had  been  hoped  that  the  flower  cam- 
paign with  the  "Say  It  with  Flowers" 
slogan  would  boost  business,  but  buy- 
ing fell  flat  and  results  wiU  follow  a 
little  later.  Chrysanthemums  overtop

quantities,  the  leaders  being  Rager, 
Major  Bonnaffon,  White  Bonnaffon,  Dr. 
Enguehard  and  Boman  Gold.  Pompons 
and  singles  have  been  somewhat  weak 
and  sold  sluggishly.  Big  local  football 
games  did  not  bring  the  usual  business 
to  flower  sellers,  who  in  former  years 
have  been  able  to  sell  large  quantities 
of  mums. 

Carnations  are  of  fine  quality,  but,  in 
common  with  other  flowers,  sell  slowly. 
One  of  the  notable  exceptions  is  Laddie, 
which  is  of  fine  quality  and  readily 
wholesales    at    $8    per    hundred    while

Boses  are  not  so  abundant.  We  have

$2,000  had  been  subscribed  by  members 
of  the  Florists'  Association  and  others 
as  a  campaign  fund  to  help  popularize 
flowers  and  push  their  sale.  Automo-

«engers  of  good  cheer  to  the  sick  from 
the  florists  of  Greater  Boston  and  the 
newspapers  gave  them  much  credit  for 
their  work.  All  stores  were  well  dec- 
orated and  carried  handsome  displays 
for  the  week  and  it  seemed  as  though 
the  "Say  It  with  Flowers"  sign  met 
one  at  almost  every  turn. 

That  the  flower  campaign  week  did 
not  immediately  bolster  up  prices  and 
create  a  bull  market  caused  some  to 
feel  disgruntled,  but  those  who  had 
planned  the  affair  were  not  anticipating 
this  so  much  as  they  were  to  set  people 
talking  about  flowers  and,  this  being 
accomplished,  increased  sales  are  bound 
to  follow  as  a  natural  sequence.  All 
honor  is  due  those  who  inaugurated  this 
movement.  May  it  become  an  annual 
affair  and  gain  momentum  as  it  grows 
older! 

Horticultural  Society  Meets. 

The  annual  meeting  and  election  of 
the  society  was  held  November  15.  The 
officers  elected  were:  President,  W.  C. 
Endicott;  vice-president,  C.  S.  Sargent; 
trustees  for  three  years,  E.  B.  Dane,  A. 
C.  Burrage,  E.  S.  Webster,  F,  A.  Wilson; 
trustee  for  two  years,  A.  H.  Fewkes; 
nominating  committee,  Oakes  Ames, 
William  Anderson,  J.  K.  M.  L.  Far- 
qnhar,  S.  J.  Goddard,  John  E.  Thayer. 

An  appropriation  of  $7,500  for  prizes 
for  1920  for  six  exhibitions  was  ap- 
proved, also  $1,000  donated  by  Miss 
Case  for  four  additional  shows. 

Douglas  Ecclestone,  gardener  to  A. 
C.  Burrage,  showed  Lseliocattleya  Alice 
Burrage  (Lseliocattleya  Luster  x  Cat- 
tleya  Rubens),  which  was  awarded  a 
silver  medal.  The  same  exhibitor  re- 
ceived a  similar  award  for  a  beautiful 
group  of  choice  cypripediums  in  over 
fifty  varieties,  including  such  varieties 
as  C.  insigne  Sanderse,  Harefield  Hall, 
Leeanum  giganteum,  Boltonianum, 
Olivia,  Sir  Redvers  BuUer,  Reginald 
Young,  Maudise,  triumphans,  Lord

Crown,  Tityus  and  aureum  Ixiom. 

Among  the  Growers. 

The  W.  W.  Edgar  establishment  at 
Waverley  is  one  of  the  best  known 
plant  factories  near  Boston.  In  spite 
of  labor  difficulties  and  other  draw- 
backs, a  lot  of  fine  stock  is  to  be  seen 
here.  There  are  several  thousand  be- 
gonias,   Melior    being    seen    in    largest

mens  are  another  specialty.  Most  of 
the  plants  are  in  5-inch  and  6-inch  pots. 
A  splendid  batch  of  15,000  seedlings  in 
flats  was  noted.  Large  batches  of 
primulas,  solanums,  oranges,  ferns,  ge- 
nistas, poinsettias,  rubbers,  etc.,  were 
seen  and  thousands  of  pots  of  lilies, 
tulips,  narcissi,  hyacinths  and  other 
bulbs  were  in  frames  or  below  benches. 
In  addition  to  quantities  of  Purity 
freesia,  5,000  bulbs  of  the  colored  varie- 
ties were  coming  along  in  pans. 

In  carnations  Matchless  and  Rosalia 
and  in  mums  Bonnaffon,  Bager  and 
Boman  Gold  were  most  in  evidence.  A 
splendid  batch  of  Euphorbia  jacquiniee- 
flora  in  pans  and  benches  should  make 
a  big  hit  for  the  holidays.  Recent  im- 
provements here  include  a  new  roof  on 
the  commodious  storage  shed,  which 
holds  great  numbers  of  bulbs,  hydran- 
geas, bay  trees,  etc.  Herman  H.  Bartsch, 
the  genial  and  efficient  manager,  uses 
every  foot  of  space  to  good  advantage. 

Frank  Edgar  has  some  large  and  up- 
to-date  houses  at  his  range  in  Waverley. 
One  is  entirely  devoted  to  cyclamens. 
There  are  about  4,000  of  them  in  pots, 
varying  from  5-inch  to  9-inch,  and  a 
truly  wonderful  lot  of  plants  they  arc, 
with  grand,  tough  foliage  and  flowers 
coming  up  on  them  in  uncountable  num- 
bers. No  mite  is  to  be  seen  here.  Every 
plant  is  the  picture  of  health  and  the 
house  is  a  joy  and  inspiration  for  any- 
one to  look  over.  Another  large  house 
is  devoted  to  begoniaa,  Melior  being  the 
favorite,  with  smaller  lots  of  Cincinnati 
and  Mrs.  Peterson.  Ferns  are  grown 
in  large  numbers.  Verona  is  a  special 
favorite,  while  Scottii,  Boston  and 
Roosevelt  are  also  grown.  A  splendid 
house  of  mums,  including  Bonnafifon, 
Rager  and  Roman  Gold,  was  alone 
worthy  of  a  visit.  There  are  also  large 
batches  of  well  grovra  poinsettias,  free- 
sias,  cinerarias  and  solanums  and  nu- 
merous frames  contained  thousands  of 
hydrangeas  for  Easter  and  Memorial 
day,  all  in  the  finest  of  health. 

Wollrath  &  Sons,  Waltham,  are  noted 
as  cyclamen  growers  and  their  plants 
are  of  such  size  and  quality  that  they 
must  be  seen  to  be  appreciated.  When 
plants  can  wholesale  at  $200  per  dozen, 
it  i»  evident  that  they  must  be  of  re- 
markable quality  and  there  are  several 
thousand  splendid  plants  here  in  several 
sizes.  Excellent  poinsettias,  oranges, 
solanums,  rubbers,  dracaenas.  Rex  be- 
gonias and  other  pot  plants  are  to  be 
seen,  while  of  flowering  begonias  many 
sorts  are  grown,  including  Melior,  Cin- 
cinnati, Turnford   Hall,  Flora   Roland,

January  and  in  that  short  time  have 
accomplished  wonders.  Taking  this 
large  range  of  glass  over  without  a  soli- 
tary plant  in  it,  they  now  have  it 
stocked  to  repletiou  and  almost  entirely 
with  pot  plants.  A  large  house  of 
cyclamens  here  shows  splendid  culture 
and  there  are  thousands  of  fine  begonias, 
mostly  Melior.  Poinsettias  in  pans  are 
remarkably  good.  Primulas,  rubbers, 
Verona  and  Boston  ferns  are  all  well 
done.  A  batch  of  11,000  young  cycla- 
mens show  great  vigor  and  thousands 
of  hydrangeas,  roses  and  bulbs  are 
waiting  for  the  passing  of  the  Thanks- 
giving and  Christmas  crops.  Special 
mention  must  be  made  of  the  wonder- 
fully berried  ])lants  of  Cleveland  sola- 
num,  the  finest  I  ever  have  seen.  Chrys- 
anthemums, sweet  peas,  carnations  and 
snapdragons  are  the  principal  bench 
crops,  but  they  occupy  but  a  small  space 
comjiared  with  tlie  pot  plants. 

Various  Notes. 

Charles  Evans,  of  Watertown,  has 
twenty  varieties  of  the  best  pompons, 
which  fill  two  roomy  houses,  and  they 
are  of  such  quality  that  they  sell  out 
quickly. 

W.  D.  Howard,  of  Milford,  makes  a 
great  hit  in  the  market  with  his  fine 
new  crimson  carnation,  Bernice.  He  also 
has  fine  Matchless,  Ward,  Pink  Delight 
.and  Benora.  All  of  these  show  the 
highest  culture. 

Billie  Bartlett,  the  well  known  mes- 
senger at  the  Flower  Exchange,  had  a 
jilcasant  surprise  when  he  celebrated 
his  sixty-second  birthday  last  week. 
His  many  friends  amojig  the  growers 
and  salesmen  had  "chipped  in"  and  pre- 
sented him  with  a  new  hat,  gloves, 
sweater,  soeks,  slippers,  tobacco,  pipe 
and  other  necessary  and  welcome  ar- 
ticles. Billie  was  almost  speechless  as 
gift  after  gift  rained  upon  him,  but 
finally  gained  courage  to  thank  his 
friends  for  their  kindness  and  thought- 
fulness.

Bay  City,  Ore. — H.  W.  Gooch  has  bo 
bad  a  case  of  inflammatory  rheumatism 
that  he  cannot  fill  the  orders  he  receives. 
It  is  impossible  to  secure  proper  help, 
and  so  he  will  return  to  California 
shortly  if  he  does  not  improve. 

Pasadena,  Oal. — On  the  page  of  the 
Pasadena  Evening  Post  headed  "Pasa- 
dena's Smart  and  Exclusive  Shops"

November  8,  with  particular  mention 
of  Siebrecht's  House  of  Flowers. 

Anaheim,  Cal. — Howard  E.  Gates,  in 
the  Anaheim  Daily  Herald  for  Novem- 
ber 4,  achieves  publicity  on  four  differ-

the  Garden, ' '  conducted  by  him,  through 
advertisements  and  through  brief 
write-ups  referring  to  the  ads. 


LOS  ANGELES,  OAL. 


The  Market. 

Several  light  frosts  have  occurred  and 
have  had  the  effect  of  shortening  up 
stock  and  of  raising  prices.  The  daJhlias 
have  been  destroyed  at  several  estab- 
lishments and  all  carnations  under 
cloth  were  injured  even  worse  than 
those  in  the  field.  If  further  frosts  oc- 
cur, everything  will  be  short  for 
Thanksgiving,  but  if  warmer  weather 
intervenes  there  will  be  no  shortage,  as 
the  plants  are  not  hurt  so  far.  Violets 
took  a  big  jump  and  are  short  in  supply. 
Chrysanthemums  are  passing  and  the 
quality  is  not  so  good  as  it  was.  Stock 
for  local  sales  may  be  fairly  plentiful, 
but  flowers  that  will  carry  over  a  long 
distance  are  scarce.  Eoses  are  in  bet- 
ter demand;  the  supply  is  better  and 
the  quality  is  also  improved,  so  that  the 
rose  situation  can  be  said  to  have  im- 
proved all  around. 

Regarding  poinsettias  for  Thanks- 
giving, the  growers  are  still  in  hopes 
of  a  crop  being  ready,  but  here  as  else- 
where the  weather  during  the  next  few 
days  will  be  the  deciding  factor.  Should 
warm  weather  come,  the  pompon  chrys- 
anthemums will  be  over,  so  that  the 
prospects  for  cheap  flowers  on  the  holi- 
day are  not  good.  Small  flowers,  with 
the  exception  of  violets,  will  probably 
be  equal  to  the  demand.  Plumosus 
growers  have  put  their  prices  up  with  a 
view  to  holding  stock  for  Christmas  and 
the  new  year  and  everything  in  this 
line  will  probably  be  higher  from  now 
on.  Potted  plants,  outside  of  ferns, 
cyclamens  and  palms,  are  still  scarce. 

Various  Notes. 

By  a  rearrangement  of  the  shipping 
room,  Murata  &  Co.  have  almost  doubled 
the  size  of  this  department,  a  change 
made  necessary  by  the  increase  in  busi- 
ness. 

Harold  Gates,  of  Anaheim,  Cal.,  is 
working  along  the  lines  of  educating 
the  public  not  only  to  buy  flowers,  but 
also  to  buy  plants  and  shrubs  and  to 
grow  flowers.  His  articles  in  a  local 
journal  bring  him  publicity  for  his  own 
business  and  make  many  friends  for 
him  among  amateur  growers  and  gar- 
deners. He  is  considering  taking  more 
ground  near  Center  street  for  display 
purposes  and  going  farther  out,  where 


land  is  not  so  valuable,  for  his  growing. 
Since  the  death  of  his  mother,  Mr. 
Gates  has  run  the  entire  business  him- 
self. 

The  Fancher  Creek  Nurseries,  of 
Fresno,  Cal.,  of  which  George  C.  Boed- 
ing  is  the  well  known  head,  have  sold 
their  holdings  at  La  Habra,  but  will 
continue  to  grow  stock  of  citrus  under 
contract  in  this  place,  the  land  and 
climate  being  especially  suited  to  this 
class  of  stock. 

T.  D.  Eobertson,  of  FuUerton,  Cal., 
reports  business  as  good.  In  a  recent 
visit  the  writer  noted  that  he  is  selling 
avocados  (miscalled  "alligator  pears") 
from  the  trees  in  his  nursery  at  a  pretty 
good  price.  It  looks  like  good  business 
to  grow  the  trees  and  sell  the  fruit  at 
the  same  time.  H.  E.  Eichards. 


SAN  FRANCISCO,  CAL. 


The  Market. 

The  first  frost  of  the  season  hit  the 
chrysanthemum  acreage  in  the  vicinity 


of  Eedwood  City  and  Palo  Alto  the 
early  part  of  last  week,  but  compara 
tively  small  damage  was  done  to  th.? 
blooms  except  in  several  instance:: 
where  no  protection  for  the  plants  was 
provided.  Prices  for  the  large  mums 
are  still  on  the  rise  and  a  number  of 
growers  anticipate  a  stiff  price  by 
Thanksgiving,  for  by  that  time  all  the 
stock  will  be  grown  either  under  cloth 
or  under  glass.  The  pompons  and 
Chinese  mums  are  still  in  good  condi- 
tion and  in  strong  demand,  both  with 
local  florists  and  for  shipping  trade. 

Violets  are  plentiful  and  moving  well. 
They  are  in  good  shipping  condition 
now  and  the  eastern  demand  is  strong 
enough  to  clean  up  the  market  in  good 
shape  every  day.  Eetail  prices  in  San 
Francisco  are  maintaining  a  satisfac- 
tory level,  with  the  demahd  normal. 

The  rose  stock  is  still  improving. 
While  blooms  of  fine  appearance  have 
been  in  the  market  for  several  weeks, 
they  were  hardly  of  a  quality  to  ship 
satisfactorily,  but  the  buds  are  more 
solid  now,  on  longer  stems,  and  the  ship-

proved  in  quality.  It  is  estimated  that 
the  call  for  stock  of  this  sort  will  be 
quite  heavy  this  yeaTj  as  there  was  com- 
paratively little  of  first  quality  to  be 
secured  during  the  last  holiday  period. 
The  first  California  holly  has  made 
its  appearance,  looking  well  with  bril- 
liant foliage  and  bright  red  berries,  the 
severe  frosts  in  the  foothill  section  hav- 
ing brought  the  coloring  out  rather 
early.  Madrona  berries,  too,  are  to  be 
had,  the  decorative  qualities  of  the 
shrub  making  it  particularly  popular  for 
all  sorts  of  work. 

Various  Notes. 

The  Western  Evergreen  Co.  had  on 
hand  last  week  some  heavily  budded 
eucalyptus  foliage,  in  addition  to  a  fair 
supply  of  madrona  berries. 

L.  Picetti,  of  the  Chas.  Navlet  Co., 
has  been  greatly  rushed  since  the  ar- 
rival of  the  Dutch  bulbs,  filling  a  large 
quantity  of  orders  which  have  been  in 
for  some  time  and  getting  the  stock  into 
shape.  He  states  that  the  demand  is 
just  about  double  that  of  last  year  and 
consequently  he  is  looking  forward  to 
an  early  clean-up  on  the  stock. 

The  staff  of  the  E.  W.  McLellan  Co., 
Inc.,  is  extremely  busy  with  shipping  or- 
ders, filling  a  consistently  large  demand 
for  chrysanthemums.  The  McLellan 
nurseries  at  Burlingame  are  just  start- 
ing the  cutting  of  the  good  rose  stock 
and  Henry  Avansino,  manager  of  the 
Bush  street  depot,  states  that  the  rose 
shipping  will  commence  in  earnest  with- 
in the  next  week  or  two.  Even  now  he 
is  sending  out  some  fine  Shawyer  and 
Ophelia. 

The  United  Flower  &  Supply  Co.  re- 
ports an  exceedingly  large  Thanksgiv- 
ing business.  The  mum  crop  is  lasting 
well  and  this  stock,  together  with  the 
rapidly  maturing  rose  crop,  will  nicely 
hold   up   the    shipping   business   of  the

firm.  One  of  the  members  of  the  com- 
pany stated  that  they  are  endeavoring 
to  get  the  orders  for  holiday  stock  in 
as  early  as  possible,  in  order  that  a 
choice  selection  be  given  their  custo- 
mers. Even  at  the  present  time,  he 
said,  it  is  difficult  to  meet  the  demand 
on  account  of  the  number  of  orders  al- 
ready on  the  books.  This  concern  has 
a  rose  crop  which  will  be  ready  for  cut- 
ting in  about  one  week.  It  is  in  fine 
condition  now  and  the  growers  antici- 
pate a  stock  of  first-rate  quality. 

The  long  awaited  shipment  of  Kyogfi 
mats  has  arrived  at  the  store  of  Eno- 
moto  &  Co.  and  the  force  is  getting  out 
the  orders  as  fast  as  possible.  Violets, 
too,  are  a  large  item  with  this  firm  and 
Mr.  Enomoto  is  sending  out  some  fine 
stock.  He  reports  a  strong  Eastern  de- 
mand for  woodwardia,  which  is  meet- 
ing with  popularity  all  through  the 
country  this  year.  In  addition  to  these 
greens,  his  holly  and  pepper  berry  ship- 
ments are  of  considerable  volume. 

Mrs.  Darbee  reports  all  the  business 
she  can  handle.  With  the  gradual  clos- 
ing of  the  mum  season  she  is  filling  in 
with  woodwardias  and  calendulas,  both 
of  which  are  wanted  by  many  eastern 
florists.  Mrs.  Darbee  is  also  pleased 
with  her  violet  crop  this  year.  She  says 
that  in  spite  of  the  large  acreage 
planted  to  violets,  there  will  not  be 
any  too  much  stock  to  meet  the  ship- 
ping demand.  After  a  honeymoon  of 
several  weeks  spent  at  Guerneville, 
Cal.,  Mrs.  Stamatis,  nee  Gregory,  has 
resumed  her  duties  at  Mrs.  Darbee 's 
shop,  on  Hyde  street. 

Other  news  pertaining  to  matrimony 
is  the  reported  engagement  of  Miss 
Blanche  Green,  of  the  oflSee  force  of  the 
MacRorie-McLaren  Co.  A  Mr.  Kellogg 
of  this  city  is  the  fortunate  man.  Miss 
Green  has  been  one  of  the  mainstays  of 
the  MacBorie-McLaren  office  for  a  num- 
ber of  years  and,  while  her  associates 
wish  her  all  possible  happiness,  they  are 
looking  forward  with  regret  to  the  day 
when  she  relinquishes  her  responsibili- 
ties with  the  firm. 

The  Palace  stand  had  a  busy  week 
with  the  annual  charity  ball,  which  was 
held  November  11  at  that  hotel.  While 
there  were  no  special  decorations  for 
the  ball  itself,  numerous  dinner  and 
supper  parties  were  decorated  and  an 
enormous  amount  of  corsage  work  kept 
the  staff  busy  until  late  in  the  evening. 

The  first  winter  assembly,  which  took 
place  the  early  part  of  last  week  at  the 
Fairmont  hotel,  was  attractively  deco- 
rated by  one  of  the  local  fiorists  in  the 
Halloween  manner.     The  ballroom  WM

city  recently.  A  particularly  attractive 
conceit  which  was  greatly  admired  was 
a  hand-painted  bamboo  hat  box  filled 
with    Columbia    roses    and    delphinium,

The  Market. 


Flowers  are  getting  scarce  as  busi- 
ness is  increasing.  Marigolds  and  zin- 
nias are  small  and  chrysanthemums  are 
almost  gone,  except  for  a  few  late  va- 
rieties. Carnations,  indoors  and  out- 
doors, are  getting  better.  Cattleya 
labiata  is  equal  to  the  demand.  Two 
first-class  weddings,  a  large  funeral  and 
a  big  navy  ball  were  the  chief  business 
of  the  week. 

Various  Notes. 

Walter  Ollestad  has  discarded  his 
greenhouse  carnations  and  has  planted 
roses  instead.  He  considered  it  too 
much  work  and  too  expensive  to  replace 
carnations  every  year.  He  keeps  his 
roses  going  three  years. 

George  F.  Otto  reports  good  business, 
especially  in  decorative  plants. 

Miss  A.  M.  Rainford  had  charge  of 
the  decorations  of  two  of  the  largest 
weddings  of  the  season. 

Boyle  &  Darnaud  furnished  1,000 
roses  for  the  navy  ball.  At  the  store, 
funeral  work  keeps  the  staff  busy. 

The  Bird  Rock  Florists  have  moved 
iuto  attractive  new  quarters  on  Broad- 
way. A.  D.

The  Market. 

The  market  condition  remains  about 
the  same  as  for  the  last  two  or  three 
weeks.  -  ■     - 

Chrysanthemums  are  the  strong  fea^ 
ture  and  are  meeting  with  a  ready  sale. 
Stock  is  first-class,  but  some  of  the  flo- 
rists  are  still   having   stock   shipped  in 
from  California. 

Ferns  are  in  good  demand  and  hard  to 
get. 

There  seems  to  be  a  large  supply  of 
home-grown  violets  and  they  are  selling 
well,  being  cleaned  up  every  day. 

Potted  plants  are  somewhat  scarce. 
A  few  fine  cyclamens  are  being  shown

President,    ID.    0.   Dnngan,    PhUadelpbU;    Pa,; 
«»CTetmrylr»'a«urer.  C.  E.  Kendel.    riPTeland.   O. 

High  prices  are  creating  surpluses  in 
some  stocks  by  curtailing  the  dejnand.- 

The  Wholesale  Seedmen's  League  held 
its  annual  meeting  at  Detroit  November 
19. 

Despite  the  reputed  shortage,  ther^ 
seems  to  be  a  small  surplus  of  Paper 
Whites.  ■ 

' '  Any  seed  dealer  who  is  putting  up  a 
new  building  that  he  figures  on  using  for 
the  next  fifty  years, ' '  says  Robert  'Nichol- 
son, "should  keep  in  mind  the  necessity 
for  a  good  landing  place  for  his  custom- 
ers' airplanes." 

"The  only  crop  insurance  we  know," 
says  Beckert  's  Seed  Store, ;  Pittsburgh, 
"  is  to  patronize  a  reliable'  seedsman  and 
pay  his  price.  Eeliable  seeds  cannot  be 
produced  cheaply,  nor  can  those  who  de- 
pend on  crops  to  make  a  living  afford  to 
take  chances  with  cheap  seeds." 

Soy  beans,'  or  soja  beans,  have  been 
grown  in  China  and  Japan  since  ancient 
times.  Although  introduced'  into  the 
United  States  as  early  as  1829,  they  at- 
tracted little  attention  until  the  early 
eighties  and  again  in  1900,  when  the 
United  States  Department  of  Agriculture 
began  to  introduce  large  numbers  of  vari- 
ties  from  the  Orient.  Since  then  their 
popularity  as  a  feeding  crop  has  gradually 
increased  as  their  value  became  mOre  evi- 
dent, due  largely  to  the  introduction  of 
varieties  better  suited  to  the  wide  range 
of  soil  and  climatic  conditions  found  in 
the  United  States. 


•  •  SEEDS  AND  WEEDS. ' ' 

The  British  government  proposes  a 
new  "Seeds  and  Weeds"  act,  which,  in 
brief,  will  provide:  "(1)  Every  pur- 
chaser of  seeds  to  be  given  an  account 
of  the  particulars  of  the  variety,  purity 
and  germination  of  the  seeds  sold,  and 
all  seeds  exposed  for  sale  must  be  so 
marked.  (2)  Authorized  government  in- 
spectors to  be  allowed  to  enter  trade 
premises  and  take  samples  for  testing 
without  payment.  (3)  Official  testing 
stations  are  to  be  set  up  and  from  the 
government  decision  there  is  no  appeal 
to  an  independent  testing  station.  (4) 
Special  penalties  for  offenses  under  the 
act.  (5)  Publication  of  results,  with 
name  and  address  of  seedsman." 

"Dearie  me,"  as  one  of  the  British 
seed  trade's  proponents  is  fond  of  re- 
marking, we  have  had  such  a  law  in 
America  for  so  long  it  is  an  old  story 
and  the  only  harm  it  has  done  has  been 
due  to  some  reputable  seedsman 's  mo- 
mentarv  carelessness. 


A   BIO   SEED   MARKET. 

Possibly  no  other  district  of  equal 
size  consumes  so  many  seeds  as  does 
the  Imperial  valley,  in  California. 
County  Horticultural  Agent  F.  W. 
Waite  inspected  and  passed  the  follow- 
ing items  into  Imperial  county  during 
the  month  of  August:  968  sacks  pata- 
toes,  171  sacks  onions,  75'  sacks  spinach 
seed,  39  sacks  lettute  seed,  78  sacks 
English  pea  seed,  300  sacks  barley  seed, 
12  sacks  milo  maize  seed,  3  sacks  alfalfa 
seed,  1  sack  tomato  seed. 

From  the  importations  of  various  seeds 
it  would  seem  that  there  is  to  be  an  in-

creased  acreage  in  Imperial  county  dur- 
ing the  coming  fall  and  winter  in  prac- 
tically all  of  the  kinds  of  winter  vege- 
tables grown  in  this  community.  The 
importation  of  spinach  and  pea  seed 
has  been  unusually  large. 

Imperial  valley,  comprising  413,000 
acres  under  cultivation  on  the  American 
Bide  of  the  border  and  80,000  acres  on 
the  Mexican  side,  produced  crops  worth 
a  total  of  $47,832,292  during  1918,  ac- 
cording to  data  compiled  by  the  South- 
ern Pacific  railway.  It  required  18,682 
cars  to  move  this  crop.  It  represents 
produce  worth  approximately  $600  for 
every  man,  woman  and  child  in  the  val- 
ley. Twenty-one  thousand  tons  of  cot- 
ton, worth  $10,625,000,  was  the  largest 
single  item.  Other  products  contribut- 
ing $5,000,000  or  more  to  the  total  value, 
in  order  of  importance,  were  alfalfa, 
live  stock,  milo  maize  and  cantaloupes, 
with  combined  winter  vegetables  fol-

CALIFORNIA  SWEET  PEA  SEED. 

During  the  decade  in  which  California 
sweet  pea  seed  was  slowly  but  surely 
gaining  dominance  of  the  world's  mar- 
ket, it  was  the  habit  of  our  British  cous- 
ins to  decry  its  quality.  For  the  last 
couple  of  years  the  British  have  been 
80  glad  to  get  our  seeds  that  we  heard 
little  of  their  complaints,  but  the  story 
has  not  been  forgotten,  as  witness  the 
following  from  an  open  letter  in  their 
leading  trade  paper: 

"I  cannot  imagine  that  the  general 
run  of  retail  seedsmen  and  market  grow- 
ers are  calculating  on  squaring  the  high 
cost  of  some  lines  by  a  low  price  on 
sweet  peas.  Certainly  the  sweet  pea 
enthusiast  is  not  going  to  be  led  away 
by  low  prices.  After  all,  it  is  not  a 
question  of  how  cheap  but  how  good,  and 
I  am  sure  that  Spencer  sweet  peas  at 
12  shillings  per  pound  in  these  days  can 
have  no  claim  to  goodness.  The  general 
run  of  growers,  who  bought  seed  by  the 
pound  last  season,  at  rates  ranging  any- 
where between  15  shillings  and  £2,  will 
admit  that  a  pure  stock  was  a  rarity. 
The  supposition  that  the  mix-ups  were 
due  to  shortage  of  skilled  labor  hardly 
counts,  for  the  real  explanation  is  Cal- 
ifornian  stocks. 

"Surely  those  who  buy  seed  by  the 
pound  have  a  right  to  know  just  what 
they  are  getting,  or  must  one  assume 
that  nothing  matters  but  price  t  If  such 
is  the  case,  then  we  shall  see  a  decline 
rather  than  increase  of  sweet  pea  grow- 
ing.

sweet  peas  fully  realize  what  they  are 
up  against,  for  what  they  fail  to  grow 
they  go  without,  rather  than  take  any 
wholesale  offering.  One  might  almost 
assume  that  an  effort  is  being  made  to 
crush  out  the  home  grower  altogether, 
for  certainly  no  one  can  hope  to  com- 
pete against  the  wholesale  quotations 
with  reliable  stocks. 

"Considering  the  fact  that  America 
has  its  own  labor  difficulties  and  high 
living  expense,  one  may  at  first  wonder 
how  seed  can  be  grown  and  shipped  here 
to  sell  at  10  to  12  shillings  per  pound 
for  up-to-date  varieties  like  President, 
etc.  Personally,  I  imagine  it  is  another 
case  of  averaging.  All  over  the  U.  S.  A. 
and  Australia  there  is  a  big  and  increas- 
ing demand  for  early-flowering  varieties, 
and  a  declining  call  for  ordinary  sorts. 
The  prevailing  wholesale  prices  for  ear-

pound.  These  are  'some'  figures,  com- 
pared with  what  ordinary  varieties  are 
offered  here  at.  It  appears  to  let  day- 
light on  the  subject. 

"The  recent  statistics  of  the  U.  S.  A. 
flower  seed  industry  show  473  acres  of 
Spencers,  ordinary,  against  eighty-two 
of  Early  Spencers.  Those  eighty-two 
acres  would  be  worth  while  at  prevailing 
rates.  The  rest  would  not  get  much  at- 
tention, hence  could  be  sold  cheaply,  and 
maybe,  to  make  the  bulk  larger,  quite 
a  lot  of  standard  mixed,  plus  grandiflo- 
ras — and  there  are  over  1,000  acres  of 
these,  mind  you — fall  in.  At  least  the 
samples  I  grew  this  season  suggest  it, 
and  to  help  the  home  producer  out  of 
business,  merchants  over  here  handle  it.

Two  catalogues,  Nos.  195  and  196,  botii  printed 
In  the  compact,  clear  and  accurate  style  that  is 
characteristic  of  the  Perry  publications.  No. 
1»6  is  a  16-page  "Special  Offer  of  Irises  and 
Bulbs."  No.  196,  just  double  the  size  of  the

SAN  FRANCISCO  NOTES. 

[Concluded  from  page  104.]

pansiea  attached  to  the  sides  of  the  box 
in  the  manner  of  handles. 

Frank  Pelicano,  of  Pelicano,  Eossi  & 
Co.,  is  busy  now  with  his  catalogue  of 
dahlia  bulbs.  Each  year,  Mr.  Pelicano 
states,  the  business  assumes  larger  pro- 
portions and  at  the  present  time  his  or- 
ders are  so  numerous  that  he  anticipates 
a  complete  clean-up  on  his  stock. 

T.  E.  Mabee,  manager  of  the  Fancher 
.  Creek  Nurseries,  of  Fresno,  Cal.,  was  a 
visijior  in  San  Francisco  last  week. 
Others  of  the  trade  who  recently  paid 
this  city  a  visit  were  Harry  Short,  of 
Napa,  Cal.,  and  Frank  Smith,  of  Modes- 
to, Cal. 

At  the  store  of  Mrs.  Copeland,  on 
Sutter  street,  was  seen  a  most  attrac- 
tive window  last  week.  A  handsome, 
Korean,  camphor  wood  chest,  elaborate- 
ly decorated  in  the  brilliant  oriental 
reds,  was  filled  to  overflowing  with 
masses  of  madrona  berries,  carrying  out 
the  color  note  to  perfection.  Mrs. 
Copeland  states  that  she  is  shipping 
large  quantities  of  colonial  bouquets  of 
strawflowers  to  many  eastern  cities, 
where  they  have  met  with  instant  popu- 
larity. They  are  also  on  sale  at  the 
shop  here,  where  the  demand  is  con- 
stantly growing. 

A  new  store  has  been  opened  at  1006 
Bush  street  under  the  attractive  name 
of  the  Band  Box.  The  store  is  con- 
ducted  by  Mrs.  V,  van  der  Meerch  and 
Mrs.  E.  Davenport.  Both  ladies  are 
comparatively  recent  arrivals  in  San 
Francisco,  but  both  have  had  experi- 
ence in  the  business  before — Mrs.  van 
der  Meerch  in  the  east  and  Mrs.  Daven- 
port at  Spokane,  Wash.  The  shop  is 
attractively  finished  in  pale  green  with 
striped  green  hangings  decorated  with 
multicolored  flower  motifs.  As  it  is 
located  in  the  heart  of  the  Bush  street 
apartment  house  section,  it  is  thought 
that  a  quite  substantial  business  can  be 
built  up. 

The  annual  convention  of  the  Cali- 
fornia Nurserymen's  Association  was 
opened  November  10  at  Chico,  Cal.;  its 
sessions  continued  through  the  week  un- 
til Friday,  November  14.  Among  those 
locally  known  who  spoke  at  the  con- 
vention were  H.  A.  Hyde,  of  Watson- 
ville,  Cal.,  and  H.  Plath,  of  San  Fran- 
cisco. Mr.  Plath 's  address  was  entitled 
"Ferns  for  Outdoor  Garden  Ferneries." 

The  land  which  has  been  used  during 
the  last  season  by  the  Silva-Bergtholdt 
Co.,  nurserymen,  at  Lincoln,  Cal.,  has 
been  released  and  will  be  planted  again 
this  winter.  M.  M.

Do  You  Believe 

in  Gambling? 

You  can  buy  Lettuce  seeds  at  $1.00 
per  pound,  but  it  is  a  gamble/  Good 
seeds  of  known  vitality  and  purity  can- 
not be  produced  cheaply.  It  costs  us 
thousands  of  dollars  each  year  to  study 
the  behavior  of  our  strains  in  our  trial 
grounds,  but  we  consider  it  a  good 
investment  because  it  saves  our  cus- 
■  tomers  money  and  gambling. 

XXX  Grand  Rapids 

is  a  special  strain  of  proven  merit,  in 
connection  with  which  repeated  tests 
have  eliminated  the  gamble.  Extra 
curly,  extra  fine  color  and  every  plant 
a  true-to-type  specimen.  We'll  stake 
our  reputation  that  it  will  please  the 
most  critical.  Oz.  20  cts.,  "4  lb.  55cts., 
lb.  $2.00.  (Special  price  on  5  and  10 
pound  lots.) 

Please  let  us  Quote 

on  your  requirements  for  next  season. 
It  will  not  obligate  you  to  buy.  but 
will  afford  us  a  chance  to  further  ac- 
quaint you  with  our  methods  of  taking 
the  gamble  out  of  gardening.

The  office  of  the  new  executive  secre- 
tary of  the  A.  A.  N.,  John  Watson,  is  at 
400  Nassau  street,  Princeton,  N.  J. 

R.  C.  Meneray,  one  of  the  veterans  in 
the  trade,  has  bought  the  nursery  of  the 
L.  H.  Smith  Nurserv  Co.,  at  Council 
Bluffs,  la. 


IMPLIED  WARRANTY. 


In  Sale  of  Nursery  Stock. 

A  decision  of  the  California  District 
Court  of  Appeal  in  the  case  of  Elmer 
Bros.  vs.  Carpenter,  183  Pacific  Re- 
porter, 566,  denies  plaintiffs'  right  to 
recover  the  full  amount  of  two  notes 
given  for  the  price  of  fruit  trees  sold 
to  defendant.  The  decision  leaves  out 
of  consideration  a  claim  by  defendant 
that  there  was  an  implied  warranty 
that  the  trees  were  in  sound  condition, 
proceeding  uj)on  the  theory  that  de- 
fendant was  entitled  to  defeat  liability 
on  the  notes  on  the  ground  that  there 
was  an  express  warranty,  which  had 
been  broken. 

The  suit  was  brought  on  two  promis- 
sory notes  given  to  cover  the  price  of 
1,200  fruit  trees.  The  trial  judge  found 
from  the  evidence  in  the  case  that  the 
notes  were  wholly  without  considera- 
tion, excepting  as  to  $.")2.60  which  de- 
fendant received  from  third  i)arties  on 
a  resale  of  part  of  the  stock  and  for 
which  the  court  gave  ])laintiffs  .judg- 
ment; that  consideration  for  the  notes 
failed  because  the  trees  were  sold  to 
defendant  without  previous  opportunity 
for  inspection  and  under  misrepresenta- 
tion that  the  trees  were  good,  sound  and 
healthy,  and  not  diseased,  and  that  the 
stock  delivered  was  diseased  with  a 
black  rot  and  was  condemned  under 
the  statutes  of  California  as  being  un- 
merchantable. Plaintiff  appealed  from 
this  judgment  to  the  District  Court  of 
Appeal,  but  that  tribunal  has  affirmed 
the  decision  of  the   lower  court. 

Question  of  Warranty. 

On  appeal  tlie  principal  points  made 
by  the  attorneys  for  the  plaintiffs  was 
that  the  trial  judge  erred  in  finding  that 
there  was  an  implied  warranty  in  the 
sale  of  the  trees.  Disposing'  of  this 
question   the  appellate  court  says: 

"Appellant  then  proceeds  to  argue, 
with  quotations  from  certain  cases,  that 
the  facts  are  not  sufficient  to  show  an 
implied  warranty,  the  point  of  conten- 
tion being  that  "the  general  rule  is  that 
there  is  no  implied  warrantv  in  a  mere 
contract    of    sale     (section"  1764,    Civ. 


Code),  and  that  the  evidence  does  not 
show  the  case  to  be  within  the  excep- 
tion provided  in  section  1771  of  the 
same  code,  as  follows: 

"  'One  who  sells  or  agrees  to  sell 
merchandise  inaccessible  to  the  exami- 
nation of  the  buyer,  thereby  warrants 
that  it  is  sound  and  merchantable.' 

"The  matter  is  discussed  because, 
among  the  conclusions  of  law,  the  trial 
court  stated:  'That  there  was  an  im- 
plied warranty  that  the  fruit  trees  sold 
by  plaintiff  to  defendant,  for  which  said 
notes   were   given,   were   merchantable.' 

Consideration  for  Notes  Failed. 

"But  it  is  clear  that  this  may  be  en- 
tirely ignored  without  affecting  the  in- 
tegrity of  the  judgment.  The  court 
fully  found  the  facts  as  we  have  shown, 
from  which  the  conclusion  necessarily 
follows  that  the  consideration  for  the 
notes  failed,  except  as  to  the  said  $52.60, 
and    that   plaintiff   was   entitled   to    a 


judgment  for  only  that  amount.  In- 
deed, from  the  facts  the  court  properly 
concluded: 

"  'That  the  consideration  for  said 
notes  failed  by  reason  of  the  unmer- 
chantable character  of  the  trees  sold, 
except  to  the  extent  of  $52.60,  value  re- 
ceived by  said  defendant;  that  plain- 
tiff is  entitled  to  judgment  in  the  sum 
of  $52.60   without  costs.' 

Express,  Not  Implied,  Warranty. 

' '  The  force  and  validity  of  these 
findings  are  not  affected  in  the  least  by 
the  erroneous  inference  that  there  was 
an  implied  warranty,  instead  of  stating 
it  to  be,  as  it  was,  an  express  warranty. 

"We  may  add  that  as  to  this  objec- 
tion urged  by  appellant  there  is  evi 
dence  in  the  record  to  the  effect  that 
when  the  trees  were  purchased  they 
were  not  accessible  to  the  examination 
of  respondsrrt,  as  that  term  should  be 
applied  in  a  case  like  this,  and  the  court

The  Market. 

Business  has  had  a  decided  slump  on 
account  of  street  car  conditions  and  the 
outlook  for  car  service  is  not  encourag- 
ing. A  few  of  the  local  florists  ran  their 
delivery  trucks  on  Sunday  with  these 
slogans  on  their  wind-shields,  "Eide 
Free  with  Me ' '  and  ' '  Say  It  with  Flow- 
ers." A  great  many  took  advantage  of 
their  offer. 

Stock  is  still  plentiful.  Single  violets 
coming  from  California  are  good  only 
in  appearance.  The  later  varieties  of 
large  mums  and  pompons  are  arriving  in 
good  quality  and  large  supply.  Pepper 
plants,  Jerusalem  cherries  and  mum 
plants  are  selling  easily  at  good  prices. 

Various  Notes. 

The  regular  meeting  of  the  Eetail 
Florists'  Association  was  held  at  Jack 
Helmer's  store  Tuesday  evening,  No- 
vember 18.

kel will  continue  only  in  the  cut  flower 
and  house  plant  business;  he  opened 
his  new  store  November  8  in  the  room 
formerly  occupied  by  the  Eed  Cross  in 
the  Brazil  Trust  Co.  building.  The  in- 
terior of  the  store  is  attractively  fin- 
ished in  tan  and  white  enamel.

The  Florists^  Review 


NOVEMBEB    20.    1919. 


DAVENPORT,   R.   ISIiAND,  MOLINE. 


The  Market. 

There  was  a  decided  improvement  in 
business  last  week.  Chrysanthemums 
in  all  sizes  and  colors  took  the  lead  and 
pompons  sold  well.  While  there  is  an 
abundance  of  stock  of  good  quality, 
there  will  be  enough  lute  stock  for  the 
Thanksgiving  trade.  Roses  are  none 
too  plentiful,  Kussell  being  the  leader 
at  present  with  other  varieties  in  rather 
short  supply.  Carnations  are  also  on 
the  short  side.  Tliere  are  not  enough 
greens,  smilax,  plumosus,  etc.,  for  the 
needs  of  the  trade. 

Club  Meeting. 

The  regular  meeting  of  the  Tri-City 
Florists'  Club  was  lield  at  the  residence 
of  C.  O.  E.  Boehm,  Davenport,  Tuesday, 
November  11.  It  was  an  afternoon 
meeting.  A  tour  of  the  Vanderveer 
park  conservatories  showed  the  usual 
high  standard  of  flowers,  of  which  there 
were  about  5,000  on  exhibition;  the  ar- 
rangement was  particularly  pleasing. 
President  Goos  called  the  meeting  to 
order.  In  the  absence  of  Secretary 
Knees,  the  chair  appointed  W.  C.  Wil- 
son secretary  pro-tern.  The  names  of 
N.  A.  Larson  and  Victor  DeLescaille, 
of  Davenport,  were  proposed  for  mem- 
bership and  a  committee  of  recommen- 
dation appointed  in  each  case  to  report 
at  the  next  meeting.  Chrysanthemums 
were  the  topic  of  discussion  presented 
by  Ludwig  Stapp,  whose  talk  proved 
interesting  and  instructive.  Then  sup- 
per was  served.  After  extending  a  vote 
of  thanks  to  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Boehm  for 
their  hospitality,  the  club  adjourned  to 
meet  at  the  residence  of  Joe  Tuckis, 
Thursday,  December  11. 

Various  Notes. 

Henry  Staack  is  seriously  ill  with 
typhoid  pneumonia  at  his  home. 

Mrs.  P.  G.  Pearson  is  at  a  local  hos- 
pital suffering  from  a  nervous  break- 
down, but  shows  improvement  that 
gives  hopes  of  a  speedy  recovery. 

C.  J.  Reardon  is  in  Des  Moines  at 
present  in  charge  of  some  landscape 
work. 

Henry  (iaethje,  P.  G.  Pearson  and 
William  (Joos  attended  the  fall  flower 
show  at  Des  Moines.  W.  G.

The  Market. 

Florists  whose  shops  are  near  ceme- 
teries are  beginning  to  get  orders  for 
winter  decoration  of  graves.  Lack  of 
frosts  and  of  extremely  cold  weather  has 
made  the  season  somewhat  late  in  this 
respect,  as  there  have  been  flowers 
blooming  in  the  cemeteries  practically 
up  to  the  present  time. 

Carnations  still  show  a  tendency  to 
"go  to  sleep"  easily,  but  with  the  ad- 
vent of  colder  weather  it  is  expected 
that  this  condition  will  be  speedily 
eliminated.  The  mums  now  coming  into 
the  market  are  of  excellent  quality  and 
the  quantity  is  sufficient  for  the  de- 
mand. Bulbs  are  still  selling  well,  since 
many  persons  outside  the  trade  are  pur- 
chasing for  home  gardens. 

Essex  Florists  Meet. 

The  November  meeting  of  the  Essex 
County  Florists'  Club  was  held  Thurs- 
day evening,  November  13,  at  Kover 
hall,  Elizabeth  avenue,  Newark. 

A  committee  was  appointed  to  consult 
with  the  license  committee  of  the  city 
government  regarding  push  cart  ped- 
dlers of  flowers.  Members  of  the  club 
reported  that  their  business  was  greatly 
injured  by  these  street  venders,  who 
tell  on  the  street  when  flowers  are  plen- 
tiful, but  quit  when  prices  go  up.  Peo- 
ple seeing  the  low  price  charged  by  the 
street  peddlers,  and  not  taking  into  con- 
sideration the  low-grade  flowers  sold, 
think  the  florists  are  robbing  them 
when  they  charge  a  reasonable  price  for 
good  flowers. 

The  club  has  elected  new  officers,  as 
follows:  President,  Edward  Perrson; 
secretary,  William  Connelly;  treasurer, 
D.  A.  Murphy.  R.  B.  M. 

Boundup,  Mont. — E.  Burton,  manager 
of  the  Flower  Store,  is  enthusiastic 
about  the  business  outlook,  having 
lately  had  to  move  to  larger  quarters. 
The  coal  strike  has  caused  business  to 
become  rather  quiet,  as  1,200  miners  in 
this  field  are  out,  and  the  situation  looks 
grave.

Greenhouse  Heating 


Subscribers  are  invited  to  write  the 
editor  of  this  department  with  regard  to 
any  details  of  greenhouse  heating  that 
are  not  understood.  When  information 
is  desired  regarding  the  capacity  of  boil- 
ers, or  the  amount  of  radiation  required 
for  a  greenhouse,  the  needed  temperatures 
should  be  stated  in  the  inquiry,  as  well 
as  the  amount  of  glass  in  the  side  walls, 
and  the  dimensions  and  general  arrange- 
ment of  the  greenhouses.  It  is  often  help- 
ful, also,  to  have  a  sketch  showing  the 
location  of  the  houses. 


HEATING  A  FLORIST'S  BEDBOOM. 

Will  you  tell  me  the  best  way  to  ar- 
range the  coils  in  a  bedroom  which  I 
intend  to  heat  with  steam?  The  room  is 
9x12,  with  a  height  of  eight  feet  to  the 
ceiling,  and  is  lighted  by  two  windows. 
I  have  a  lot  of  iy2-inch  pipe  and  ells 
which  I  wish  to  use.  G.  S. — N.  J. 

In  order  to  make  an  accurate  estimate 
of  the  number  of  square  feet  of  radia- 
tion required  for  heating  a  sleeping 
room,  it  is  necessary  to  know  the  area 
of  the  glass  in  the  windows,  the  amount 
of  exposed  wall  surface  and  the  temper- 
ature to  be  maintained. 

If  the  room  described  does  not  have 
more  than  twenty  square  feet  of  glass 
and  has  only  two  of  its  walls  exposed, 
about  thirty  square  feet  of  radiation 
will  be  required  to  maintain  a  temper- 
ature of  60  degrees  in  zero  weather. 
This  will  be  furnished  by  sixty  linear 
feet  of  iy2-inch  pipe.  We  would  sug- 
gest that  a  flow  pipe  be  run  around 
three  sides  of  the  room,  with  the  return 
pipe  underneath.  While  we  would  pre- 
fer to  connect  both  flow  and  return 
directly  with  the  boiler,  it  will  answer 
if  they  are  joined  to  a  iy2-inch  pipe 
running  to  the  boiler  or  to  the  main. 

HEATING  WITH  TWO  BOILEBS. 

We  have  a  greenhouse  which  has  no 
protection  except  from  the  east  side, 
where  we  propose  building  a  potting 
shed  right  away.  We  have  purchased 
two  upright  steam  boilers  of  ten  and 
twelve  horsepower  respectively.  One 
has  a  steam  outlet  of  one  and  a  half 
inches  and  the  other  of  one  and  a  quar- 
ter inches.  We  propose  to  bring  these 
up  to  two  inches  just  after  they  leave 
the  boilers  and  cross-connect  them.  We 
want  to  maintain  60  degrees  with  an 
outside  temperature  of  30  degrees  be- 
low zero.  We  have  thought  of  running 
a  main  overhead  on  the  supports,  tak- 
ing ofE  drops  of  one  inch  and  returns 
running  back  to  the  boiler.  The  water 
line  in  the  boilers  will  be  about  twelve 
inches  below  the  level  of  the  greenhouse 
floor.  Is  this  sufficient  to  prevent  the 
water  from  backing  up?  We  are  per-

even-span,  with  sashbars  thirteen  and 
a  half  feet  in  length,  and  that  the  south

but  whether  there  is  glass  in  the  north

Heat   Your   Houses   with 
Kroeschell    Boilers 

YOU'LL   BE    HAPPIER 
YOU'LL    BE    RICHER 

TO  THE  MAN  WHO  NEEDS  A  BOILER 

"The  customer's  interest  first"— is  the  basis  of  the  KROESCHELL  standard.  This 
principle  makes  the  KROESCHELL  Policy  the  most  liberal  of  all  in  the  Green- 
house Boiler  business.  The  great  variety  of  boilers  that  we  make  places  us  in  a 
commanding  position.  It  is  the  KROESCHELL  principle  to  supply  only  the  type 
of  jboiler  best  suited  for  the  conditions.  For  this  reason  we  always  furnish  the 
most  efficient  boiler  unit  in  every  case.

The  KROESCHELL  has  proven  its  worth  in  many  of  the  large  establishments  in 
this  country.  It  has  frequently  been  selected  by  the  most  careful  buyers  in 
competition  with  all  other  types  of  boilers.  Its  efficiency  and  capacity  are  com- 
pletely beyond  any  other  boiler. 

KROESCHELL  BOILERS  have  no  bulky,  soot-accumu- 
lating surfaces— you  avoid  the  disagreeable  work  and 
trouble  indispensable  to  cleaning  boilers  with  compli- 
cated and  tortuous  back  and  forth  fire  passages. 


The  superiority  of  our  boilers  has  resulted  in  the  removal  and  abolishment  of 
hundreds  of  cast  iron  sectional  boilers— in  every  instance  KROESCHELL  BOILERS 
give  more  heat  with  the  same  piping  with  less  fuel.

The  Florists'  Review 


NOVEMBEB   20,    1919. 


we  cannot  give  a  direct  answer  regard- 
ing the  radiation  required,  the  size  of 
the  mains,  or  the  required  drop  from 
the  returns  to  the  water  level  in  the 
boiler. 

If  the  house  is  not  more  than  100  feet 
long  and  if  there  is  glass  in  all  walls,  we 
should  consider  the  two  boilers  of  ample 
capacity  to  heat  the  house  when  it  is  30 
degrees  below  zero  outside;  one  of  the 
boilers  would  do  the  work  in  mild  weath- 
er. However,  we  should  by  far  prefer 
one  boiler  of  twenty  to  twenty-five 
horsepower,  as  the  work  of  keeping  up 
steam  would  be  materially  lessened. 
Careful  attention  to  the  firing  of  the 
boilers  will  be  necessary. 

By  increasing  the  size  of  the  mains 
at  the  boilers  to  2-inch  and  connecting 
each  of  these  with  a  2%-inch  main 
leading  to  the  greenhouse,  satisfactory 
results  can  be  secured. 

We  would  run  the  214-inch  main 
through  the  house  three  feet  below  the 
ridge,  and  connect  it  with  return  coils 
below  the  benches  by  means  of  1^4 -inch 
pipes.  There  should  be  sixteen  li4-iiich 
pipes  in  the  four  coils,  with  five  or  six 
pipes  in  the  coils  under  the  outside  beds 
and  two  or  three  under  each  of  the 
beds  in  the  middle  of  the  house. 

If  there  is  no  glass  in  the  north  wall 
one  less  return  may  be  used  under  the 
north  bench.  In  case  the  house  is  only 
fifty  feet  in  length  the  main  need  not 
be  larger  than  2-inch. 

When  possible,  it  is  desirable  to  have 
the  lower  end  of  the  return  four  feet 
above  the  water  level  of  the  boiler, 
but  in  short  houses  fairly  good  results 
can  be  secured  if  there  is  a  difference 
of  two  feet,  provided  that  the  line  of 
the  returns  is  carefully  graded.  In  the 
present  case  we  would  give  the  returns 
about  one  inch  of  fall  in  fifteen  feet  and 
would  carry  them  one  foot  above  the 
level  of  the  greenhouse  floor  at  the  low- 
er end,  if  this  does  not  bring  the  returns 
within  six  inches  of  the  bottom  of  the 
benches  at  the  highest  point.  Bottom 
heat  is  helpful  in  growing  most  crops, 
but  when  the  pipes  are  less  than  one 
foot  from  the  bench  bottoms,  there  is 
great  danger  of  the  drying  out  of  the 
soil,  which  often  results  in  serious  harm 
to  the  crops,  unless  more  than  usual  at- 
tention is  given  to  the  watering.  The 
surface  may  appear  to  be  too  wet,  while 
the  soil  at  the  bottom  of  the  bench  may 
be  dust-dry.

GROWERS,    ATTENTION! 


THE  new  Kost  pulverizer  is  giving  sat- 
isfaction everywhere.  A  florist  can 
grow  plants  much  better  with  thor- 
oughly ground  up  sods  and  fertilizers.  It 
releases  plant  food  elements  you  can't 
utilize  by  old  methods.  This  pulverizer 
will  grind  up  sods,  barnyard  manure,  leaf 
mold,  ashes,  oyster  and  clam  shells,  burnt 
lime-rock  and  other  materials  used  for  good 
soil.  This  pulverizer  will  save  you  a  lot 
of  work,  grow  better  crops,  and  its  cost  is 
very  reasonable  for  a  first-class  pulverizer.

"The  Skinner  System  of  Irriga-

I  have  ever  heard  of." 

This  is  what  Mr.  R.  Scheffler,  of

The  Market. 

Business  was  quiet  the  first  part  of 
last  week,  but  the  latter  part  was  ex- 
tremely busy,  riowers  have  been  plen- 
tiful, owing  to  favorable  weather  con- 
ditions, although  there  have  been  some 
light  frosts. 

The  dominant  flower  has  been  the 
chrysanthemum.  There  has  been  a  good 
sale  for  Dr.  Enguehard,  Yellow  Bon- 
naffon  and  Mensa.  Pompons  have  been 
in  great  demand  for  table  decorations. 

Ophelia,  Shawyer,  Mrs.  Bussell  and 
Hoosier  Beauty  are  chiefly  in  demand 
among  roses.  There  is  a  good  sale  for 
both  double  and  single  violets.  There 
was  a  great  demand  for  poppies  for  Ar- 
mistice day  and  a  good  business  would 
have  been  done  if  the  stock  had  been  ob- 
tainable. Carnations  have  been  plenti- 
ful. Calendulas  have  also  been  plenti- 
ful, with  the  demand  brisk. 

Various  Notes. 

At  the  greenhouses  of  Knecht  & 
Freese  they  have  been  cutting  some  un- 
usually fine  Columbia  and  Bussell  roses, 
also  some  Major  Bonnaffon  and  Eaton 
mums. 

The  Blossom  Floral  Co.  had  a  number 
of  large  baskets  for  the  opening  of  the 
Busy  Bee,  a  new  confectionery  store

Ten  employees  of  the  Flick  Floral  Co. 
were  entertained  at  a  dinner  party

At  the  store  of  Edgar  Wenninghoff, 
some  Chinese  narcissus  plants  have  been

CHARCOAL 


equalizes  water  in 

Sandy  Soils 

Charcoal  has  the  wonderful  power  of  absorbing 
excess  moisture,  purifying  it  and  yieldinK  it  up 
as  required  by  the  plant.  So  that  in  sandy  soils 
otherwise  excessive  drainage  is  equalized  to  the 
plant  by  charcoal. 

Long  experienced  and  successful  gardeners  are 
practically  unanimous  in  favoring  charcoal  as 
an  absolute  necessity  in  all  soils. 

One  bushel  of  charcoal  (extra  fine,  size  20) 
should  be  mixed  with  sixteen  bushels  of  earth 
in  general  soil  preparation  and  an  inch  or  more 
of  size  1  (nut)  should  be  placed  at  the  bottom  of 
all  pots  and  beds.

Bonnaffon  and  Eager  are  the  best  sell- 
ers among  the  latter. 

E.  &  J.  Farquhar  &  Co.  report  a  heavy 
landscape  business  this  fall.  The  wet 
summer  and  fall  has  induced  a  remark- 
able growth  on  rhododendrons  and  kal- 
mias  at  their  Cape  Cod  nurseries.  These 
plants  have  made  two  growths  and 
ripened  both  well.  With  so  much  mois- 
ture at  their  roots,  all  evergreens  should 
winter  remarkably  well. 

Inquiries  at  the  various  seed  stores 
show  that  Dutch  bulbs  are  well  cleaned 
out.  There  is,  as  usual,  a  fair  surplus 
of  Paper  White  narcissi.  Giganteum 
lilies  are  selling  well  and  promise  to  be 
soon  cleaned  out.  W.  X.  C.

At  the  regular  meeting  of  the  New- 
port Horticultural  Society  Tuesday  eve- 
ning, November  11,  announcement  was 
made  that  the  first  in  the  series  of  lec- 
tures will  be  given  Tuesday  evening, 
November  25,  by  Louis  Graton,  of  Whit- 
man, Mass.  He  will  speak  on  strawber- 
ries, to  the  culture  of  which  he  has 
devoted  a  large  part  of  his  life,  and  con- 
cerning which  he  is  a  recognized  author- 
ity. The  lecture  will  be  open  to  the 
public.  The  members  of  the  Newport 
Garden  Club  and  the  Home  Garden  As- 
sociation have  been  invited  to  attend. 

The  society,  on  invitation  of  Miss 
Mason,  president  of  the  Home  Garden 
Association,  voted  to  cooperate  with  thai 
organization  in  its  work.  A  number  of 
exhibits  were  made  and  the  members 
engaged  in  a  general  discussion  of 
various  subjects.

PKOVIDENOE,  R.  I. 

The  Market. 

Stimulated  by  the  annual  chrysan- 
themum exhibition  of  the  Rhode  Island 
Horticultural  Society,  which  was  held 
in  the  parlors  of  the  Narragansett  hotel 
last  week,  business  for  that  week  has 
shown  a  substantial  improvement  over 
the  two  preceding  ones.  Mums  are  far 
more  active  than  for  a  number  of  years, 
there  being  an  increasing  demand  for 
the  big  single  blooms  that  bring  50 
cents  to  $1  apiece.  Those  retailing  at 
$2.50  to  $6  per  dozen  move  readily  and 
there  is  also  a  good  demand  for  the 
smaller  flowers  in  sprays. 

Roses  are  in  far  better  quantity  and 
quality,  while  carnations  are  consist- 
ently improving.  There  has  been  an 
increased  demand  for  palms,  ferns, 
decorative  foliage  and  blooming  plants 
at  satisfactory  prices.  Funeral  work  is 
about  normal  for  this  season,  but  wed- 
ding and  pre-nuptial  demands  show 
considerable  improvement.  There  is  an 
unusually  good  supply  of  all  kinds  of 
plants  and  flowers  for  the  Thanksgiving 
period. 

Various  Notes. 

Mrs.  James  A.  Foster,  of  the  War- 
wick Greenhouses,  left  Tuesday,  Nov- 
ember 11,  with  a  party  for  a  10-day 
automobile  trip  to  Canada. 

T.  O'Connor  had  several  wedding 
decorations  last  week,  at  which  he  used 
principally  chrysanthemums. 

Charles  Smith^^  the  Eastern  Wreath 
Co.,  has  returned' from  a  business  trip 
through  southeastern  New  England. 

Alexander  H,  Johnson,  of  George 
Johnson  &  Son,  was  appointed  sergeant- 
at-arms  of  the  American  Legion  con- 
vention at  Minneapolis,  Minn.,  last 
week. 

Noel  T.  McCarthy,  son  of  the  late 
Timothy  McCarthy,  and  for  many  years 
superintendent  of  the  Swan  Point  ceme- 
tery, was  married  November  12  at  the 
SS.  Peter  and  Paul  cathedral  to  Miss 
Madeline  M.  Fox.  Mr.  McCarthy  was 
attended  by  his  brother,  Joseph  Mc- 
Carthy, as  best  man. 

The  sudden  death  by  accident  of 
Frederick  Shawyer,  for  the  last  few 
years  head  gardener  at  Farmholme,  the 
estate  of  Miss  .Mary  Sharswood,  at 
Wequetequock,  near  Westerly,  is  re- 
corded in  this  week's  obituary  column.

•'?'?•- 


In  all  our  experience  and  investieation 
we  had  never  found  a  preparation  for 
bulbing  over  the  outside  of  a  greenhouse 
that  was  quite  satisfactory,  until  we  ran 
across  PERMANITE.  This  was  about 
four  years  ago .  At  that  time  we  set  about 
investigating  the  merits  of  PERMANITE 
and  proceeded  to  watch  the  results  of  its 
application  to  greenhouse  roofs. 

Last  year  we  were  entirely  convinced 
of  its  high  quality  and  durability,  and  ac- 
cepted the  western  agency  for  the  sale  of 
these  goods. 

We  applied  PERMANITE  to  hundreds 
of  greenhouse  roofs,  over  almost  every 
part  of  the  United  States. 

The  results  obtained  were  highly  satis- 
factory indeed.  Glass  roofs  of  all  kinds, 
both  old  and  new,  were  made  water-tight 
and  air-tight,  saving  thousands  of  plants 
from  being  spoiled  by  water  dripping  on 
them  and  saving  many  hundreds  of  tons  of 
coal  by  making  the  roofs  proof  against 
the  wind  and  storms  of  winter. 

We  give  PERMANITE  our  unqualified 
endorsement  and  recommend  it  highly  for 
all  kinds  of  glazing. 

We  have  a  very  large  stock  on  hand 
in  our  warehouse  and  can  ship  imme- 
diately.

Troubled  with  glass  blowing  off? 

If  you  are — here  is  a  letter  from  Mr.  Elliott,  proprietor  of  John  Bader 
Company,  at  Pittsburgh,  which  will  interest  you: 

"I  want  to  make  a  little  statement  about  your  Permanite  Glazing  Cement.  We  used  this  on  sixteen  old 
houses  several  years  ago;  greenhouses  were  in  such  condition  that  every  little  wind  storm  would  blow  the 
glass  off  and  we  would  have  some  time  repairing  them,  Since  using  your  Permanite  I  do  not  believe  that 
one  light  of  glass  has  ever  been  blown  out;  we  now  have  it  on  all  of  our  houses  excepting  three  which  were 
just  built  this  year,  and  we  will  put  the  Permanite  on  these  houses  next  season.  It  is  certainly  a  boon  to 
people  with  old  houses;  I  would  not  be  without  it  if  it  cost  five  times  what  it  costs  today." 

If  an  old-timer  like  Mr.  Elliott  comes  forth  with  a  statement  like  this,  surely  there  must  be  a  reason 
and  that  reason  is  Permanite;  let  us  know  if  you  are  interested  in  having  further  particulars  and  we  will 

gladly  send  you  full  data  without  any  obligations 
whatever.

ORNAMENTAL  SHADE  TREES 
We  are  offering  the  following  stock  for  ship- 
ment, fall  of  1919  or  spring  of  1920.  The  Hack- 
berry  we  are  offering  is  the  northern  type,  per- 
fectly hardy  as  far  north  as  you  would  wish  to 
plant  it;  is  free  from  disease  and  insects;  is  a 
clean,  strong  and  desirable  tree  for  all  purposes. 
It  has  light  gray  bark,  slender  branches,  light 
green  leaves  and  will  make  a  perfect  shaped  tree 
with  less  pruning  than  any  other  northern  shade 
tree.  The  other  trees  are  too  well  known  to  need 
description.     Boxing  or  baling  extra  at  cost.

Build  your  next  benches  of 
concrete  and  save  money 


For  precisely  the  same  reason  that  wood  has  been 
replaced  by  concrete  in  the  construction  of  build- 
ings, so,  too,  is  wood  being  replaced  by  concrete 
in  the  building  of  greenhouse  benches.  Concrete 
benches  are  the  most  sightly,  most  efficient,  most 
economical  for  every  grower's  use.  Repairing  is 
never  necessary — they  save  time  and  money — prove 
an  ever  paying  investment.] 


This  bench  has  been  widely  accepted  as  the  stand- 
ard. Growers  over  the  entire  country  have  regis- 
tered pleased  expressions.  Benches  built  under  the 
"Ready-Set"  system  cost  but  slightly  more  than 
those  made  of  wood  and  they  put  your  bench  ex- 
pense at  an  end.  Build  your  own  benches  —  save 
the  contractor's  profit  —  save  20  per  cent  lumlier 
waste— and  considerable  labor  cost. 


Our  method  for  building  concrete  benches  permits 
you  to  make  the  parts  during  spare  moments  —  you 
can  assemble  the  units  into  benches  of  any  length, 
width  or  height  when  desired.  It  is  the  practical, 
easy,  inexpensive  way  to  build  everlasting  benches. 
It  incorporates  features  that  are  exclusive. 


You  may  not  have  in  mind  the  building  of  benches  for 
three,  six  or  twelve  months  to  come — so  much  more 
reason  why  you  should  let  us  submit  an  estimate  on 
the  cost  to  build  benches,  under  the  "Ready-Set"  sys- 
tem, NOW.  We  base  our  estimate  on  the  time  in 
which  you  have  to  build.  No  great  outlay  is  required. 


"Ready-Set"  stands  for  the  best 
and  most  simple  and  inexpensive 
in  concrete  Ere$Db«use  benches. 
Asklthose^ho  use  them. 


"Ready-Set" 
Concrete  Benches 


The  asking  for  an  estimate  and 
"Ready-Set"  information  in  no 
way  places  you  under  obligation 
— just  tell  us  you  are  interested.

A  glance  won't  do 

You'll  simply  have  to  study  this  illustration  detail  by  detail  to  realize 
that  you  are  looking  at  the  most  wonderful  structure  ever  erected  by 
a  greenhouse  manufacturing  company. 

And  while  you're  studying,  bear  in  mind  that  this  greenhouse  is  hundreds  of 
feet  above  the  street,  and  that  THE  WIND  IS  BLOWING  A  GALE  almost 
continuously.  But  no  one  worries  about  THAT— There's  no  danger  of  any- 
thing's  breaking,  bending,  coming  loose  or  collapsing.  It  can't,  for  the 
WHOLE  STRUCTURE  IS  AGMCO  BUILT. 

That's  your  cue  for  1920.     «/  ,  j     *.     *   ii,       ,  o

Setting  You  Straight 

on  Our  Semi-Iron 

and  Pipe  Frame  Houses 


OF  course  we  furnish  materials  for,  or  erect  Pipe 
Frame  and  Semi-Iron  Houses. 

Don't  think  for  a  minute  that  because  we  build  so 
many  Iron  Frame  houses,  it's  the  only  kind  we 
build. 

Some   Reasons 

There  are  at  least  three  reasons,  however,  why 
we  build  more  of  the  Iron  Frame  ones  than  the 
others. 

1.  Been  building  the  Iron  Frame  longer  than  any 
other  builder,  because  we  were  the  first  to 
i)Uild  it.  Logically  we  know  how  it  should 
best  be  built. 

The  Iron  Frame  idea  was  originated  by  Mr. 
Burnham  and  first  used  by  us  over  4(»  years 
ago. 

2.  The  higher  cost  of  materials  and  labor,  due  to 
the  war,  makes  the  difference  in  cost  betvi'een 
the  Iron  Frame  and  the  Semi-Iron  Frame  so 
slight,  that  most  growers  prefer  to  pay  that 
slight  difference  and  get  the  better  house. 

3.  The  proven  economy  of  wide  houses  and  tlie 
demand  for  as  few  columns  as  possible,  makes 
the  Iron  Frame  the  best  proposition. 


Columns  or  Rafters 

Wide  Semi-Iron  Houses  are  of  course  built,  but 
they  have  a  regular  forest  of  columns  in  compari- 
son with  our  Iron  Frame  houses  of  the  same  width. 
The  roof  must  have  a  certain  amount  of  support. 
If  you  don't  have  iron  rafters,  you  must  have  an 
equal  support  in  columns.  When  you  add  rafters 
and  trussing  you  can  reduce  your  columns. 

Lighter,   Lasts  Longer 

It's  been  proven  over  and  over  again  that  the  iron 
rafter  construction,  as  we  construct  it,  makes  a 
far  lighter  house  than  the  Pipe  Frame. 

Likewise,  lasts  longer. 

In  fact  no  one  knows  how  long  they  will  last,  be- 
cause none  of  us  have  yet  lived  long  enough  to 
know. 

Whichever  You  Want 

We  are  glad  to  sell  you  whichever  construction 
you  want;  but  whichever  you  decide  to  buy,  am 
sure  you  will  welcome  facts  and  figures  concern- 
ing each  wiiich  our  construction  experts  will 
gladly  send  to  you.

The  Florists^  Review 


December  Flowers 

When  the  days  are  short  and  there  is  very  little  sun 
is  the  time  w^hen  the  supremacy  of  Home-Grown  Flow- 
ers show  their  greatest  advantage.  They  are  fresh 
cut,  not  24  to  48  hours  old  on  arrival  in  this  market, 
and  their  attractive  appearance  and  keeping  qualities 
at  once  draw  the  attention  of  the  buyer. 

Our  stock  is  all  grown  in  our  own  greenhouses  and 

brought  to  our  store  three  or  four  times  per  day.    We 
guarantee  their  quality  and  freshness. 

We  are  rose  specialists  and  are  now  cutting  roses 
from  245,000  rose  plants,  all  in  one  big  range  of  glass.

The  Tw^o  I 


Crusader 


We  ever  have  offered 


CRUSADER.  (Montgomery.)  A  big. 
strong-growing  variety,  robust  and  rugged 
in  every  characteristic.  The  growth  is  heavy 
and  the  flower  stems  are  strong  and  heavy^ 
producing  very  little  blind  wood.  It  is  free 
growing  and  free  flowering,  and  the  blooms 
are  truly  characteristic  of  the  variety — big 
and  double,  and,  in  color,  a  rich,  velvety 
crimson.  These  large,  heavily  petaled 
blooms  open  perfectly  and  are  amply  sup* 
ported  by  the  strong-necked,  heavy  flower 
growths.  Crusader  takes  water  well  and 
will  keep  under  almost  any  conditions.  The 
plant  is  free  from  canker  and  does  not  show 
any  tendency  to  die  at  the  union  of  scioti  and 
stock.  It  breaks  freely  from  the  hard  wood 
and  is  a  strong-growing,  free-flowering  red 
Rose. 

If  you  Mrant  a  real  ^vinner  you 
should  buy  Crusader  NOW.

Never    have    all   the   Florists,   Seedsmen    and    Nurserymen   of 
America    had    greater   cause    than    today   for    Thanksgiving 


THIS  year  the  autumn  cele- 
bration instituted  by  the 
Pilgrim  Fathers  to  give 
thanks  for  the  abundance 
of  the  season  carries  a  real 
and  sincere  meaning  for 
the  florists ',  seed  and  nurs- 
ery trades.  A  year  ago  the 
florists  received  larger  re- 
turns than  ever  before,  but 
the  chief  cause  of  that  prosperity,  the 
influenza  epidemic,  had  a  saddening 
rather  than  an  elating  influence.  This 
season  there  is  no  such  bitter  taste  in 
the  cup  of  rejoicing.  The  demand  which 
is  felt  so  strongly  this  year  is  the  result 
of  the  public's  desire  to  spend  for  flow- 
ers some  of  the  money  which  it  possesses 
in  greater  amount  than  ever  before. 

For  this  inclination  to  add  to  the 
trade's  coffers  there  is  no  reason  for 
aught  save  rejoicing  unalloyed.  Not  only 
is  it  not  dependent  on  some  abnormal 
occurrence,  which  is  to  be  deplored 
rather  than  welcomed,  but  it  represents 
a  real  growth  in  the  public's  use  and 
desire  of  this  trade 's  products.  In  such 
steady  and  constant  increase  there  is 
strength  and  indication  of  continued 
progress,  which  are  as  much  causes 
for  thanksgiving  as  the  tangible 
financial  gains  from  such  prosperity. 

Trade  Growth. 

Without  the  shadow  of  doubt,  flo- 
rists have  greater  reason  for  satisfac- 
tion in  the  growth  made  by  the  trade 
in  the  course  of  the  last  year  than 
in    the    pecuniary    reward    they 
may  have  derived  in  that  period. 
Whereas  the  latter  are  temporary 
returns,  the  former  represents  an 
investment  that  is  permanent  and 
will  itself  be  productive,  giving 
greater  yields  as  time  passes. 

One  of  the  phases  in  trade 
growth  during  the  year  has 
been  the   increase  of  coop- 
erative effort   in  pixblicity. 
The  progress  is  to  be  cred- 
ited under  two  heads,  one 
to    the    advertising    ac- 
count and  another  to  the 
trade    fellowship   or    co- 
operation account.    For, 
while  the  greater  amount 
of  publicity  that  is  given 
to  flowers  is  a 
matter  of  satis- 
faction, the  in- 


crease in  the  spirit  of  union,  of  the  de- 
sire to  get  together,  is  more  important 
still,  since  it  augurs  larger  achievements 
yet.  Therein  lies  the  basis  for  state- 
ments by  trade  leaders  that  the  profes- 
sion has  advanced  more  in  the  last  year 
or  two  than  in  the  previous  ten  or  fif- 
teen years,  statements  made  in  sincere 
calculation  of  results  obtained  and  not 
in  boastful  enthusiasm  over  present  en- 
terprise. 

Strides  Forward. 

One  of  the  most  emphatic  forward 
steps  that  have  been  taken  is  the  wide- 
spread adoption  of  Sunday  closing.  In- 
dividual florists  and  certain  commu- 
nities have  closed  on  Sunday  in  years 
past,  but  the  trade  in  general  had  not 
adopted  the  practice.  During  the  last 
summer,    however,    many    florists    shut 


their  doors  on  Sunday  of  their  own  ac- 
cord, and  in  many  towns  and  cities  the 
various  members  of  the  trade  united 
in  agreements  to  make  no  sales  on  the 
Sabbath.  The  way  to  unity  and 
cohesion  was  not  easily  won,  but  in  the 
many  communities  where,  despite  diflS- 
culties  and  temporary  setbacks,  the  best 
sentiment  ultimately  prevailed  the  feel- 
ing of  trade  solidarity  which  has  re- 
sulted has  prepared  the  way  for  still 
further  accomplishment. 

Similarly  the  cooperative  movement 
for  advertising  has  won  its  way  with 
the  florists  in  various  localities.  Growers, 
wholesalers  and  retailers  have  united  to 
encourage  and  urge  the  greater  use  of 
flowers  by  the  public.  The  growers  have 
come  to  the  support  of  the  retailers, 
recognizing  that  they,  as  well  as  the 
members  of  the  trade  who  deal  imme- 
diately with  the  public,  have  a  great 
deal  to  gain  by  the  larger  demand  to  be 
created  by  advertising.  The  enthusiasm 
with  which  these  elements  of  the  trade 
have  combined  for  the  purpose  of  multi- 
plying flower  sales  is  a  matter  for  re- 
joicing. 

No  less  to  be  commended  are  the 
splendid  efforts  which  the  florists  in 
various  cities  have  shown  in  the  first 
"Say  It  with  Flowers"  week.  This 
idea  spread  from  one  city  to  another 
almost  as  soon  as  it  was  contemplated 
in  Washington  and  the  immediate  re- 
sults were  truly  surprising.  Another 
year  much  more  is  confidently  expected. 

Bright  Future. 

And  while  the  unity  of  purpose 
and   action   exhibited    during   the 
last    year    gives    real    reason    for 
thanksgiving,  there  is  equal  cause 
in   the   actual    business   condition 
present.      Sales    kept    up    re- 
markably well  through  the 
summer    and    gluts    in    the 
markets    were    few.      Since 
the  arrival  of  cold  weather 
reports    are    common    that 
sales  are  up  to  those  of  a 
year     ago,     though     the 
trade     had     not     antici- 
pated   anything    of    the 
kind.

trade  is  quite  acceptable  as  a  curtain- 
raiser  for  Thanksgiving.  Predictions 
for  the  latter  holiday  have  been  rosy, 
for  this  year  it  is  a  real  Thanksgiving 
day  to  the  public.  Though  the  armis- 
tice had  been  signed  before  Thanksgiv- 
ing a  year  ago,  the  boys — over  2,000,- 
000  of  them — ^^were  still  in  France,  and 
another  2,000,000  in  the  training  camps. 
Many  of  those  abroad  had  been  absent 
for  two  Thanksgivings.  So  this  year 
the  festal  board  weighs  heavy  before 
them — and  some  of  the  weight  is  of 
decorations  from  the  florist. 

For  Christmas  no  one  makes  predic- 
tions, for  everyone  confidently  expects 
to  be  sold  out.  The  only  fly  in  the  oint- 
ment  is   that   there   are  not   sufficient 


supplies  of  stock  to  satisfy  demands. 
The  absence  of  Belgian  azaleas,  in  ad- 
dition to  the  unusual  demand,  causes 
plants  to  be  a  thing  more  sought  after 
than  obtained  for  holiday  sales. 

Nor  will  prosperity  stop  at  Christmas. 
It  is  certain  to  continue  not  only  into 
another  year  but  for  several  seasons. 
Production  has  not  yet  caught  up  with 
demand  and  the  publicity  campaigns, 
local  and  national,  are  steadily  increas- 
ing the  demand.  Never  was  there  a 
time  in  the  trade  when  hard  work  won 
a  surer  reward  and  the  industrious  flo- 
rists who  are  doing  their  utmost  to  in- 
crease stocks  will  celebrate  in  prosperity 
another  Thanksgiving.

NEW  HOLIDAY  HELPS  TRADE. 


Proportionate  to  Effort. 

While  returns  to  the  florists  varied  in 
different  cities,  there  was  considerable 
impetus  given  to  flower  sales  by  Armis- 
tice day,  November  11.  In  some  states 
it  was  declared  a  holiday  and  the  greater 
observance  was,  of  course,  to  the  trade 's 
advantage.  In  other  localities  less  at- 
tention was  paid  to  the  occasion  in  a 
generally  public  way  and  florists  in  such 
places  found  little  benefit.  All  in  all, 
however,  the  gain  was  considerable. 

That  old  truism,  "As  ye  sow,  so  shall 
ye  reap,"  proves  its  verity  on  an  occa- 
sion such  as  this  holiday.  Where  the 
trade  made  strong  efforts  to  boost  the 
day  as  an  occasion  for  flowers,  the  re- 
sults were  marked.  Buffalo  combined  its 
"Say  It  with  Flowers"  week  and  Ar- 
mistice day  advertising  campaigns, 
using  in  the  Courier  two  full  pages  Sun- 
day, November  9,  besides  deriving  pub- 
licity from  other  floricultural  matter  in 
the  same  issue.  As  the  result  of  that 
drive,  flowers  brought  unusual  prices 
and  the  market  was  cleaned  of  stock. 

South  Celebrates. 

Similar  effort  was  rewarded  in  other 
sections.  B.  C.  Kerr  writes  from  Hous- 
ton, Tex.: 

"Without  the  question  of  a  doubt 
Armistice  day  far  exceeded  our  expec- 
tations. The  Mothers  of  the  Army  and 
Navy  recommended  that  floral  offerings 
should  decorate  the  flagpole  and  re- 
quested every  firm  and  organization  in 
Houston  to  send  a  floral  tribute.  They 
also  advocated  the  wearing  of  flowers  in 
eommemoration  of  the  boys  who  lost 
their  lives. 

"Among  the  floral  offerings  that  were 
sent  was  one  from  the  Houston  Horticul- 
tural Society  in  memory  of  E.  E.  Stone, 
a  member  of  our  organization. 

"The  governor  of  the  state  and  the 
mayor  of  Houston  declared  Armistice 
day  a  holiday  and  recommended  that 
flowers  should  be  used  in  commemora- 
tion of  the  boys. 

"If  the  florists  throughout  the  coun- 
try will  get  busy,  there  is  no  question  in 
my  mind  that  this  day  can  be  made  one 
of  our  big  days.  Our  business  was  al- 
most as  large  as  Mothers'  day.  We  were 
much  gratified  with  the  result  and  feel 
that  next  year  will  be  even  greater,  pro- 


vided we  lay  the  proper  foundation  for 
the  work." 

Ne^  England  Has  Holiday. 

The  governor  of  Massachusetts  de- 
clared Armistice  day  a  holiday  and  busi- 
ness houses  generally  were  closed  No- 
vember 11.  Boston  florists  were  pushing 
their  "Say  It  with  Flowers"  week  and 
they  celebrated  the  holiday  in  a  way 
that  caught  the  public  eye  by  virtue  of 
the  large  space  devoted  to  it  in  the  pub- 
lic press.  The  Boston  Globe  on  the  fol- 
lowing da^  ran  the  following  beneath  a 
3-column  illustration  of  the  long  line  of 
loaded  flower  trucks: 

"Say  It  with  Flowers,"  and  100  members  of 
the  Florists'  Association  of  Boston  spoke  yester- 
day when  they  dispatched  thirty-five  automobile 
deliyery  wagons  with  approximately  25,000 
blooms  and  1,000  potted  plants  to  the  patients 
in  the   various  hospitals  in   Boston. 

To  the  sick,  the  maimed  and  the  convalescent, 
Armistice  day,  as  it  did  to  the  rest  of  America, 
meant  peace  and  rejoicing  that  the  war  was 
over.  But  it  remained  for  the  florists  to  think 
of  the  unfortunate  hospital  patients,  and  yes- 
terday they  inaugurated  a  practice  that  it  is 
hoped  will  grow  with  each  succeeding  year  until 
Armistice  day  and  floral  gifts  will  be  synonymous. 

Early  yesterday   morning   the\members  of   the 


Florists'  ABSociation  of  Boston  and  their  em- 
ployees gathered  at  the  Boston  Flower  E^xchange, 
on  Otis  street,  and  prepared  immense  boxes  of 
flowers  for  distribution  among  the  patients. 
Growers,  commission  men  and  retail  florists  con- 
tributed great  quantities  of  cbrysantbemums, 
roses,  carnations,  sweet  peas  and  other  season- 
able blooms  and  plants  in  order  that  the  day 
might  be  made  brighter  and  more  cheery  for 
every  hospital   patient  in  the  city. 

The  great  flower  boxes  were  packed  wltb  ap- 
proximately 150  blooms  each  and  into  each  of  the 
thirty-five  cars  six  of  these  boxes  and  several 
potted  plants  were  packed.  Each  package  con- 
tained a  card  denoting  that  the  contents  were 
presented  by  members  of  the  association,  and  at 
10:15  the  parade  of  cars,  in  single  formation, 
across  the  windshield  of  each  being  pasted  the 
national  slogan,  "Say  It  with  Flowers" — and  the 
information  that  the  machines  were  assigned  to 
the  various  hospitals  by  the  Florists'Association 
of  Boston — started  on  their  missions  of  mercy 
with  the  blowing  of  auto  horns  and  the  ringing 
of  bells. 

Upon  the  steps  of  the  Boston  Flower  Bx- 
change,  their  faces  wreathed  In  smiles  of  sat- 
isfaction, the  members  of  the  organization  and 
the  officers,  President  Henry  Penn,  Vice-presi- 
dent William  H.  Blliott,  Secretary  B.  S.  Oorney, 
Financial  Secretary  Frank  Bdgar  and  Treasurer 
William  C.  Stickei,  watched  the  cavalcade  move 
away. 

The  machines  moved  through  the  downtown 
streets,  along  Boylston  street  to  Copley  square, 
where  the  unique  parade  disbanded  and  the  ma- 
chines   departed    for   their   various   destinationg. 

Yesterday's  innovation,  it  is  hoped,  will  be 
more  generally  observed  next  year.  Chrysan- 
themums of  every  color  and  species  predominated 
among  yesterday's  contributions,  and  plans  are 
already  afoot  to  have  New  England's  November 
flower,  symbolic  of  Thanksgiving,  take  its  place 
as  the  Armistice  day  favorite  of  the  future. 

Let  US  hope  Mr.  Kerr's  and  the  Bos- 
ton Globe's  expectations  of  next  year's 
holiday  will  be  fulfilled. 


HELPING   THE   PUBLIC   DECIDE. 

The  effect  of  suggestion  is  being  in- 
creasingly recognized  as  an  important 
consideration  in  salesmanship.  So  many 
possible  flower  buyers  do  not  know  ex- 
actly what  they  want.  But  if  there  is 
an  attractive  window  display  to  draw 
them  into  the  store  and  awaiting  them 
inside  an  adequate  stock  of  the  season's 
best  offerings,  arranged  where  anyone 
can  see  them  without  having  to  think  of 
names  or  ask  questions,  then  sales  are 
much  more  easily   accomplished. 

The  accompanying  illustration,  show- 
ing the  interior  of  the  Louise  Flower 
Shop,  Washington,  D.  C,  suggests  what 
may  be  done  in  store  displays.  In  the 
background  of  the  picture  is  shown  the 
window  space  wherein  Miss  Louise 
Daugherty,  sole  owner  of  the  store,  has

recently  featured  some  notable  win-

have  shared.  Most  of  the  illustration, 
however,  is  occupied  by  the  profusion  of 


chrysanthemums  and  other  seasonable

WHAT  IS  AHEAD 


mwMmm^^i^^^rimmim 


jHEEE    is   no    doubt   in    my 
mind  that  the  coming  season 
will  be  a  most  satisfactory 
one.     Your  share  of  what- 
ever prosperity  is  in  store 
for  us  will  be  in  proportion 
to  the  eflfort  that  you  have 
put  forth   to  produce  it.     The  law  of 
compensation   is    not   likely   to   permit 
you  to  share  to  a  larger,  extent. 

Some  people  look  to  the  government 
to  cure  all  social  unrest  and  business 
disturbances.  The  experiment  in  most 
cases  has  been  a  sad  failure.  We  wel- 
come any  legislation  of  a  constructive 
nature,  but  we  should  resent  government 
interference  with  business.  Unfortu- 
nately, the  people  are  still  sending  poli- 
ticians to  Washington  to  manage  our 
national  affairs,  instead  of  business  men, 
who  are  better  qualified  to  understand 
the  needs  of  the  country. 

Who  Will  Stop  First? 

We  hear  much  about  the  profiteer  and 
everybody  denounces  this  selfish  mon- 
ster; yet,  while  everybody  condemns  the 
profiteer,  nearly  everybody  continues 
profiteering.  Everybody  is  doing  his 
share — the  manufacturer,  the  jobber,  the 
retailer  and  labor — each  is  not  missing 
an  opportunity  to  grasp  a  share  of  the 
spoils.  From  every  side  we  hear  that 
profiteering  must  stop,  but  where  shall 
we  begin  and  who  will  make  a  begin- 
ningf  No  one  is  willing  to  sacrifice 
even  a  trifle,  lest  his  neighbor  should 
profit  ever  so  little  by  the  good  one 
might  do  for  the  benefit  of  any  general 
cause,      '^i. 

Thrift  4id  increased  production  are  to 
overcome"fhe  high  cost  of  living.  That 
is  what  %e  are  told,  not  only  by  the 
statisticians,  college  professors  and  the 
self-styled  public  advisers,  but  by  the 
government  itself.  And  while  Uncle 
Sam  is  preaching  thrift  to  his  people, 
they  are  working  overtime  at  Washing- 
ton to  find  ways  and  means  to  collect 
more  taxes  and  spending  the  money  in 
an  almost  reckless  fashion.  Every  tax- 
payer is  trying  his  utmost  to  make  the 
other  fellow  help  pay  his  taxes.  The 
high  rate  of  taxes  has  increased  the 
high  cost  of  living  as  much  as  anything 
else.  Who  will  be  the  first  one  to  prac- 
tice thrift!  Who  is  willing  to  help 
increase  production  and  work  ten  hours 
a  day  instead  of  six  or  eight!  Again 
we  find  a  condition  where  most  of  the 
people  can  see  danger  ahead,  but  no  one 
is  willing  to  take  the  initiative  to  clear 
the  road. 

Uplifting  the  Business. 

A  similar  condition  confronts  us  to- 
day in  our  business  pursuits.  Through 
the  trade  organizations,  such  as  the 
Society  of  American  Florists,  the  Flo- 
rists' Telegraph  Delivery  Association 
and  many  local  clubs,  we  have  aimed  to 
create  a  more  favorable  understanding 
among  the  members  of  the  trade  and

the  different  branches  of  our  business. 
It  has  been  their  endeavor  to  procure 
closer  cooperation  and  undoubtedly 
much  good  has  been  accomplished.  The 
F.  T.  D.  has  probably  accomplished 
more  in  that  direction  than  any  other 
effort;  for  the  reason  that  the  benefits 
derived  are  traceable  to  actual,  visible 
results.  When  an  F.  T.  D.  florist  re- 
ceives a  telegram  in  the  morning  for  a 
$25  order,  there  is  no  question  in  his 
mind  that  the  F.  T.  D.  is  a  good  insti- 
tution and  a  business  producer.  Not 
much  is  left  to  his  imagination;  the 
actual  facts  are  in  evidence. 

There  has  been  a  great  deal  of  dis- 
cussion about  the  uplift  of  our  busi- 
ness, how  to  increase  sales,  improve  the

working  conditions  and  a  hundred  other 
subjects.  Who  is  going  to  right  all  the 
wrongs?  Who  is  the  big  leader  among 
us  that  will  be  our  standard  bearer 
and  show  the  way!  Is  there  such  a 
man  in  our  profession!  I  say,  yes,  thou- 
sands of  them,  if  only  each  and  every 
one  of  our  profession  will  see  his  duty 
to  himself,  to  his  neighbor  and  his 
business.  Everybody  should  set  his  own 
house  in  order  and  the  rest  would  be 
comparatively  easy. 

Individual  Action  Needed. 

The  great  trouble  is,  we  complain 
because  nothing  is  being  done.  What 
are  you  doing  to  help  build  your  own 
and  your  neighbor's  business!  What 
are  you  doing  to  elevate  our  profession, 
to  make  it  more  attractive  for  the  young 
men  and  women  who  will  carry  on  our 
business  in  the  future!  What  are  you 
doing  to  make  our  business  bigger  and 
more  profitable!  You  have  the  oppor- 
tunity every  day  and  every  minute  of 
the  day.  Doing  your  duty — that  is  the 
solution. 

Cooperation  means  nothing  unless 
you  personally  are  cooperating.  An  ad- 
vertising campaign  misses  its  mark  com- 


pletely unless  you  are  a  part  and  par- 
cel of  the  campaign.  Unless  the  public 
can  see  a  reflection  of  the  national  ad- 
vertising campaign  in  your  store,  you 
are  losing  all  of  the  benefits  of  the  ad- 
vertising. 

The  S.  A.  F.,  our  national  publicity 
campaign,  can  do  nothing  for  you  un- 
less you  are  willing  to  do  something 
yourself.  Sometimes  we  hear  an  argu- 
ment that  only  the  big  retail  stores  are 
being  benefited  by  national  publicity. 
Admitting  that  they  are  being  benefited, 
it  is  only  to  the  extent  that  they  are 
taking  advantage  of  the  opportunity 
which  exists  for  all  alike.  Every  florist 
or  group  of  florists  should  do  some  local 
advertising,  and  if  the  local  effort  is 
linked  with  the  national  publicity,  there 
are  bound  to  be  satisfactory  results. 
Every  florist  in  the  country  should  be  a 
subscriber  to  the  national  publicity  cam- 
paign, but  that  is  not  sufficient.  You 
must  work  along  with  the  publicity 
campaign.  Any  collective  movement 
only  gives  you  an  opportunity  to  partici- 
pate in  its  benefits,  but  unless  you  take 
advantage  of  that  opportunity  yon  can- 
not  expect  to  accomplish  anything. 
The  Essential  Fact. 

All  this  argument  points  to  one  es- 
sential fact:  You  must  do  your  part. 
You  must  do  your  duty.  You  must 
grasp  every  opportunity  to  improve  our 
business. 

The  retailer  who  keeps  a  careless 
shop,  who  does  not  deliver  the  goods 
in  quality  or  value,  one  who  lacks  cour- 
tesy, one  who  is  not  aggressive,  is  not 
an  asset  to  our  business. 

The  grower  who  produces  an  inferior 
quality  of  flowers,  who  places  them  on 
the  market  in  a  careless  manner,  may 
the  flowers  be  good  or  bad,  is  a  detri- 
ment to  our  business.  Poor  flowers  in- 
terfere with  the  sale  of  the  good  ones. 
If  you  do  not  pay  close  attention  to 
the  small  details  of  growing — water- 
ing, ventilating  and  a  hundred  other  de- 
tails that  enter  into  the  growing  of 
flowers — and  for  that  reason  produce 
stock  that  lacks  quality  or  keeping 
ability,  you  are  doing  an  injury  to  our 
business. 

If  you  want  the  business  to  grow  and 
expand,  you  should  render  100  per  cent 
efficiency  in  your  establishment  and  the 
rest  is  simple.  You  are  the  one  to  be 
benefited  and  you  are  the  one  that  must 
make  the  effort.  No  movement  of  any 
nature,  either  through  the  S.  A.  F.  or 
a  local  effort,  will  produce  good  results 
unless  you  personally  do  your  share. 
Before  you  criticize  or  condemn,  always 
ask  yourself  the  question, ' '  Have  I  done 
my  part!"  Not  until  you  can  answer 
that  question  in  the  affirmative,  will 
you  derive  the  full  benefits  of  any  na- 
tional or   local   movement. 

Greater  Advertising. 

Look  over  the  list  of  the  subscribers 
to  the  national  publicity  fund  and  you 
will  find  nearly  all  the  progressive  flo- 
rists in  the  country.  Unfortunately, 
some  of  them  do  not  subscribe  to  the

extent  that  they  should.  The  S.  A.  F. 
should  for  next  year  ask  every  sub- 
scriber to  double  his  subscription  and 
I  believe  over  ninety  per  cent  of  them 
will  do  it  gladly.  Some  men  condemn 
national  advertising,  yet  the  first  pur- 
chase they  make  is  a  nationally  adver- 
tised article,  which  they  never  would 
have  known  had  it  not  been  for  adver- 
tising. 

We  often  hear  the  remark  that  we 
must  educate  the  public  to  the  use  of 
flowers.  But  first  of  all  let  us  educate 
ourselves  to  the  point  where  we  thor- 
oughly understand  our  own  business. 
Some  years  ago  I  expressed  a  thought 
that  the  S.  A.  F.  should  start  on  a 
campaign  of  education  among  the  re- 
tail florists.  Have  three  days'  sessions 
at  some  central  point  and  bring  all  the 
florists  from  the  neighboring  cities  to- 
gether for  an  educational  session.  Show 
them  by  actual  demonstrations  how  to 
link  the  national  publicity  campaign 
with  their  own  business.  Teach  them 
anything  new  in  the  business,  the  cor- 
rect margin  of  profit,  the  value  of  lo- 
cal advertising,  or  any  problem  that 
may  be  brought  up  for  discussion.  A 
great  deal'  of  good  could  be  accom- 
plished. The  distribution,  or  rather  the 
selling,  of  flowers  at  retail  is  the  all- 
important  feature  of  our  business  that 
needs  development.  The  production 
will  take  care  of  itself.    I  will  leave  it 


to  the  progressiveness  of  the  grower  to 
keep  up  with  any  effort  made  by  the 
retailer. 

Do  Your  Duty. 

In  my  talk  I  have  wandered  some- 
what from  the  main  point  that  I  wish 
to  emphasize  most  strongly;  that  is, 
no  one  can  help  you  unless  you  are 
willing  to  do  it  yourself.  Our  business 
is  in  a  healthy  condition.  The  last  sea- 
son was  undoubtedly  one  of  the  best 
we  have  ever  had,  and  the  coming  sea- 
son looks  promising  to  me.  If  we  could 
only  arouse  every  one  of  our  craft  to 
realize  fully  the  wonderful  opportu- 
nities that  exist  today,  greater  oppor- 
tunities than  we  have  ever  had  in  the 
past,  and  urge  every  man  to  do  his  share 
100  per  cent,  our  business  would  grow 
in  leaps  and  bounds.  Doing  your  duty 
— that  is  the  final  answer. 

Only  the  wise  and  experienced  or  the 
extremely  young  and  inexperienced  are 
ready  to  express  themselves  with  con- 
fidence on  any  point.  You  may  favor 
a  peace  treaty  today  and  have  a 
changed  opinion  three  minutes  hence. 
You  may  be  against  prohibition  today 
and  you  have  the  privilege  of  changing 
your  views  over  night. 

But  there  can  be  no  change  of  opin- 
ion or  difference  of  opinion  in  reference 
to  the  fact  that  doing  your  duty  is  the 
sure,  short  and  quick  road  to  success. 


NEW  CEATE  SPECIFICATIONS. 


For  Vegetable  Plants. 

New  specifications  for  crates  used  in 
shipping  cabbage,  tomato  and  sweet  po- 
tato plants  were  agreed  upon  at  a  con- 
ference between  manufacturers  of 
crates,  plant  growers  and  shippers,  ex- 
press officials  and  members  of  the  Bu- 
reau of  Markets  at  Washington  a  few 
days  ago,  which  change  specifications  is- 
sued by  the  American  Railway  Express 
Co.  some  time  ago.  The  express  com- 
pany had  required  plant  crates  to  be 
constructed  of  sawed  lumber  instead  of 
veneer,  of  a  minimum  thickness  of  five- 
sixteenths  of  an  inch  instead  of  three- 
sixteenths,  but  at  the  conference  the 
shippers  and  manufacturers  prevailed 
upon  them  to  accept  the  lighter-weight 
veneer  crate  for  a  six  months'  trial  be- 
ginning November  1,  the  crates  to  be 
strapped  or  wired.  At  the  end  of  that 
time,  if  the  express  company  continues 
to  find  objections  to  the  crate,  another 
conference  will  be  held  and  another 
agreement  made.

fects, which  weaken  the  strength  of  the  ma- 
terial. 

Marking — Crates  must  be  legibly  marked  with 
two  strong  card  tags — one  on  each  end.  E^ch 
tag  must  be  tacked  on  with  not  less  than  five 
tacks.  Tags  must  be  legibly  marked  with  name 
of  consignee  and  destination,  and  shipper  and 
shipping  office. 

Exceptions — On  account  of  the  fact  that  cab- 
bage plants  grown  in  different  sections,  and 
those  grown  in  the  same  sections  at  different 
seasons,  sometimes  vary  in  size,  shippers  will 
be  permitted  to  change  the  height  of  heads 
and  centers  of  the  crates  to  fit  the  plants,  pro- 
vided material  of  same  strength  and  thickncHs 
as   provided    for    in    these    specifications   Is    used. 

Crates  for  1,000  plants  are  the  same 
except  in  dimensions,  which  are  eight 
inches  deep,  twelve  and  three-quarter 
inches  long  and  sixteen  inches  wide,  in- 
side measurement.  Crates  for  2,000 
plants  require  a  center  as  well  as  two 
heads  and  in  dimensions  are  eight  inches 
deep,  sixteen  inches  wide  and  twenty- 
five  and  one-eighth  inches  long,  inside 
measurement. 

Express  Company  Dissatisfied. 

The  express  company's  representa- 
tives were  not  satisfied  with  the  con- 
rlusions  reached.  The  str.apping,  as  pro- 
j)0sed,  with  wire  or  metal  tape,  it  is  be- 
lieved will  secure  the  slats  to  the  heads 
and  middle  of  the  crates,  but  does  not 


strengthen  the  slats  themselves.  The 
crates  would  be  wholly  acceptable  to  the 
express  company  were  the  slats  of  great- 
er thickness,  i.  e.,  %-inch  instead  of 
3/16-inch. 

The  shippers  proposed  that,  inasmuch 
as  a  large  supply  of  crates  is  in  stock, 
they  will  strap  them  as  set  forth  in 
the  specifications  and  that  in  consider- 
ation of  the  express  company's  accept- 
ance of  these  crates  the  shippers  will 
hold  the  express  company  harmless  from 
all  claims  at  points  of  origin  and  desti- 
nation which  result  from  the  use  of 
these  crates. 

It  was  further  agreed  that  the  first- 
class  rates  are  to  be  charged  on  all 
crates  containing  shipments  which  do 
not  meet  with  the  specifications  above 
mentioned  and  that  no  veneer  crates  are 
to  be  offered  or  accepted  by  the  express 
company,  of  stock  now  on  hand,  that  are 
not  strapped  with  wire  or  metal  tape. 


MOTT-LY  MUSINQS. 

'•The  publicity  idea,"  observed  Fred 
Goldring,  of  Slingerlands,  N.  Y.,  "is, 
like  all  big  movements,  progressing 
slowly.  It  is  noteworthy,  however,  that 
the  slogan  has  penetrated  even  into  the 
remote  villages.  It  has  become  inval- 
uable. ' '

Alfred  Goldring,  of  Cobleskill,  N.

as  a  rule,  but  worthy  of  notice.

COMMERCIAL  OHBYSANTHEMUMS 


Their  Treatment. 

The  chrysanthemum  (Greek:  Golden 
Flower)  includes  many  of  our  peren- 
aials,  which  we  will  exclude  and  only 
deal  with  our  two  favorites,  the  large 
mum  and  the  pompon. 

The  last  twenty  years  have  produced 
wonders  in  the  mum,  thanks  to  such 
men  as  Mr.  Pockett,  E.  G.  Hill,  Chas.  H. 
Totty,  Elmer  D.  Smith,  A.  Herrington 
and  one  in  our  own  locality,  C.  W.  John- 
son, at  Morgan  Park,  111.  Others,  too, 
have  done  great  work  and  are  doing  it 
yet,  but  the  above-named  men  have  put 
dollars  in  the  pockets  of  all  mum  grow- 
ers, regardless  of  where  they  live. 

Care  of  Cuttings. 

Let  us  begin  with  the  single-stemmed 
mum.  Start  propagating  in  February 
and  March  from  plants  cut  back  the 
previous  fall  which  have  been  growing 
in  flats  or  on  a  bench  during  the  winter 
in  a  cool,  airy  house.  Use  only  good, 
strong  cuttings.  I  have  found  it  prac- 
tical when  making  cuttings  to  dip  them 
in  a  nicotine  solution  with  a  little  soap 
added.  If  the  cuttings  are  not  clean 
when  placed  in  the  sand,  the  result  is  loss 
of  cuttings  and  stunted  plants,  which 
are  sure  to  give  dissatisfaction  the 
whole  season.  A  good  batch  of  rooted 
cuttings  means  an  even  crop,  all  one 
size,  with  no  "deadheads"  on  the 
bench.  Keep  plenty  of  stock  plants,  so 
that  you  can  get  as  many  cuttings  into 
the  sand  at  one  time  as  you  need  of 
each  variety.  On  some  fast-growing 
varieties  I  take  my  cuttings  when  the 
plants  are  done  flowering  and  place  them 
in  sand  at  once.  In  that  way  I  don't 
have  to  bother  with  stock  plants.  How- 
ever, I  do  not  believe  this  to  be  prac- 
tical with  a  slow  grower. 

I  prefer  2i/^-inch  pots  for  my  cuttings, 
instead  of  flats,  as  the  plants  are  taken 
fare  of  for  a  long  time,  and  when  the 
pots  are  filled  with  roots,  liquid  manure 
can  easily  be  applied,  which  proves  quite 
beneficial  to  the  young  plant. 

Benching  the  Plants. 

When  Memorial  day  has  passed,  get 
ready  to  bench  out  your  mums.  Several 
methods  are  used;  some  growers  plant 
♦^ight  inches  apart,  some  six  inches, 
'»thers  seven  inches.  The  latter  I  believe 
ideal  for  commercial  purposes,  as  I  get 
fine  foliage  and  fine  blooms  when  the 
plants  are  set  this  distance  apart.  At 
«ix  inches  a  strong  grower  has  not  much 
>'hance.  When  the  young  plants  are 
established,  stake  them  at  once;  when 
they  fall  over,  they  lose  vitality,  and 
as  a  rule  these  are  the  first  to  get  red 
spider  and  black  spot,  two  things  hard 
to  conquer  at  the  same  time. 

A  paper  read  by  Hans  Jepsen  at  the  nipeting 
"f  the  Commercial  Flower  Growers'  Assodfltion 
"'  riiicago   November  20. 


For  spot  on  mums  I  believe  the  copper 
ammonia  solution  the  best;  for  spider, 
good  water  pressure.  When  aphids  make 
their  appearance,  I  believe  fumigating 
to  be  the  most  efficient  remedy,  as  the 
fumes  reach  down  into  the  crown;  be- 
sides, butterflies  and  millets  are  also 
killed  by  the  fumes. 

When  spraying  is  done,  I  like  to  start 
about  2  p.  m.  and  lower  the  vents  to 
about  three  inches,  as  this  helps  to  keep 
the  odor  in  the  house.  In  Denmark 
much  fish-oil  soap  with  nicotine  is  used 
for  spraying  and  is  effective  and  harm- 
less. Hydrocyanic  acid  gas  is  good,  but 
dangerous.  I  do  not  care  to  recommend 
it,  but  use  it  myself  when  it  is  necessary. 

Spraying  Important. 

In  summer  I  spray  my  mums  overhead 
three  or  four  times  daily.  Insects  can- 
not live  where  there  is  sufficient  mois- 
ture in  the  air.  We  have  passed  through 
a  dry,  hot  summer,  and  my  mums  have 
had  but  one  fumigation  and  are  per- 
fectly clean.  They  have  never  been 
syringed  and  have  no  spider. 

Spraying  daily  early  in  the  season 
will  do  away  with  much  labor  when  the 
mums  come  into  bud.  When  grass- 
hoppers and  leaf  rollers  make  their  ap- 
pearance, I  use  arsenate  of  lead.  I  do 
not  favor  Paris  green;  it  burns  too  easily 
on  a  hot  day.  When  August  comes 
around  I  apply  a  mulch  of  either  cow  or 
sheep  manure;  both  are  good.  Remem- 
ber the  mum  is  a  gross  feeder.  From 
August  on  the  plants  are  active  and 
need  much  food.  In  Europe  we  used  a 
great  deal  of  night  soil  and  guano,  these 
two  being  cheap  years  ago. 

It   takes   a   strong   plant   to   produce 


a  first-class  flower;  when  the  bud  is 
about  half-grown  the  plant  will  need 
more  food,  and  when  the  petals  com- 
mence to  loosen,  raise  the  temperature 
to  52  degrees  at  night  to  give  the  flow- 
ers the  right  color  and  size.  When  the 
blooms  are  matured,  cool  off  a  few  days 
before  cutting. 

Taking  the  Bud. 

Do  you  know  that  some  growers  lose 
out  when  it  comes  to  the  time  to  take 
the  bud?  I  have  known  men  to  say: 
"We  will  take  the  next  bud;  we  are  too 
busy  now."  In  most  cases  the  crown 
bud  is  the  best;  in  some  the  terminal 
bud  is  used.  There  is  a  big  difference 
between  the  two.  A  crown  bud  is  the 
third  bud  and  the  end  of  a  season's 
growth.  A  terminal  bud  is  borne  on 
a  growth  coming  from  beneath  the 
,crown  bud  when  not  disbudded.  When 
crown  buds  are  wanted,  be  on  the  job 
and  be  extremely  careful,  lest  in  a  few 
days  the  terminal  buds  get  the  best  of  it. 

I  believe  you  have  all  read  articles 
about  packing  in  our  trade  papers.  It 
is  brought  up  every  year  and  is  most 
important.  There  are  too  many  flowers 
coming  to  the  market  spoiled  in  packing. 
Putting  too  many  in  a  box  is  poor  policy. 
Mums  should  be  handled  less  than  any 
other  flower,  but,  it  seems,  get  the 
most  abuse. 

Pompons. 

Pompons  are  treated  like  the  large 
mums  while  young,  with  the  exception 
that  one  must  keep  on  pinching  to  get 
as  bushy  a  plant  as  possible  by  July. 
After  that  let  them  go,  and  they  will  do 
the  rest.     When  spring  comes,  my  pom-

pons  are  planted  outdoors  until  July, 
when  I  bring  them  in  and  push  them 
along  as  I  do  the  large  mums.  Cultivate 
them  freely,  give  them  plenty  of  mois- 
ture overhead  and  watch  your  pompons 
go  ahead.  I  don't  want  to  go  into  de- 
tails about  varieties;  each  market  has 
its  favorites  and  few  growers  agree  on 
any  one  variety. 

Let  us  work  toward  the  day  when  we 
can  truthfully  say  that  we  have  the 
mum  up  in  line  with  the  rose.  There  is 
no  reason  why  it  can't  be  done.  A  man 
devoting  his  time  to  growing  mums 
should  receive  as  much  for  his  labor 
and  his  investment  as  a  rose  grower. 
But  he  does  not — simply  because  he  is 
not  so  careful  as  the  rose  grower. 


MUMS  FOB  ALL  TASTES. 

Effort  to  satisfy  the  varying  de-

Mr.  Montgomery's  statement  that  he 
has  the  new  fancy  mums  as  well  as  the

COLLEGE  MEN. 


Wallace  B.  Pierson. 

Forced  to  enter  the  greenhouses  upon 
completion  of  the  ordinary  high  school 
course,  the  writer  has  often  envied  the 
fortunate  young  man  who  began  his 
business  career  with  the  inestimable 
advantage  of  a  college  training.  Com- 
mercial floriculture  is  a  dignified  pursuit 
and  it  is  fitting  that  its  devotees  should 
possess  cultivated  faculties.  Many  self- 
made  men  are  inclined  to  disparage  the 
practical  value  of  advanced  study,  be- 
lieving it  unessential  to  success,  but  un- 
doubtedly those  same  men  would  have 
achieved  earlier  in  life  a  more  notable 
degree  of  prosperity — to  say  nothing  of 
the  greater  pleasure  derived  from  their 
business — had  they  started  out  with  the 
broader  equipment  such  as  the  college 
course  alone  imparts. 

In  this  line  of  thought  the  names  of 
a  number  of  florists  come  perforce  to 
mind,  prominent  among  them  being  that 
of  "Wally"  Pierson,  than  whom  there 
are  few  better  known  young  men  in  the 
trade.  We  always  admired  this  stanch 
young  New  Englander,  because  he  is 
known  to  possess  the  courage  of  his  con- 
victions. Trade  cooperation  receives 
his  best  support  and  he  is  ever  ready  to 


assist  in  the  solution  of  the  big  prob- 
lems. He  is  one  of  the  workers  who  can 
always  be  relied  upon  to  do  his  share. 
Forceful  in  argument,  tolerant  in  de- 
bate, the  constructive  impress  of  his 
personality  is  felt  at  all  trade  gather- 
ings. Let  us  hope  that  many  more  busi- 
ness men  of  his  ilk  will  be  evolved 
within  the  ranks  of  the  trade  as  the  pro- 
fession advances. 

Bobert  Pyle. 

When  Bobert  Pyle,  fresh  from  Swarth- 
more,  elected  to  make  the  florists'  busi- 
ness his  life  work,  there  was  added  to 
the  fold  a  man  of  the  most  eminent 
abilities  and  splendid  ideals.  And  al- 
though Mr.  Pyle  has  been  a  successful 
florist,  the  writer  cannot  escape  the 
feeling  that  the  same  devotion  to  busi- 
ness in  countless  other  commercial  fields 
would  have  won  for  him  greater  re- 
wards. Since  he  is  fond  of  flowers,  there 
is  little  doubt  that  the  aesthetic  side  of 
the  business  appealed  strongly  to  him. 

During  the  last  twenty  years  Mr. 
Pyle  has  done  much  to  popularize  his 
favorite  flower,  the  rose.  In  addition  to 
the  lavish  use  of  printers'  ink,  he  has 
labored  zealously  upon  the  platform  to 
create  in  the  bosom  of  the  public  a 
greater  love  of  the  beautiful  as  exempli- 
fied   in    flowers.      "A    rose    for    every 


home ' '  is  his  slogan.  That  his  ,work,  as 
well  as  the  work  of  other  unselfish  men 
of  similar  ideals,  has  borne  fruit,  is 
indicated  by  the  unprecedented  sale  of 
flowers  within  recent  years.  Bobert 
Pyle's  activities  in  the  American  Rose 
Society,  of  which  he  is  now  president, 
have  been  untiring  and  are  thoroughly 
characteristic  of  the  man.  He  truly 
loves  his  work  and  from  its  performance 
derives  his  greatest  pleasure.  This, 
after  all,  is  the  truest  gospel  of  life. 

J.  W.  Qrandy. 

A  dozen  years  or  so  ago  there  came 
to  West  Grove,  Pa.,  a  young  man  desir- 
ous of  supplementing  his  college  course 
in  horticulture  by  some  practical  ex- 
perience in  a  commercial  greenhouse  es- 
tablishment. He  had  chosen  the  florists ' 
business  for  his  life  work.  After  a  few 
years  of  preparatory  effort,  combined 
with  study  of  the  successful  methods  em- 
ployed by  various  up-to-date  florists, 
this  young  man  opened  a  modern  retail 
flower  store  in  his  native  city,  Norfolk, 
Ya.,  and  today  Grtmdy  the  Florist  is 
one  of  the  best  known  members  of  his 
profession  in  the  country. 

The  secret  of  J.  W.  Grandy's  signal 
success  is  that  he  prepared  himself  for 
his  work.  In  addition  to  securing  prac- 
tical training  before  embarking  in  busi- 
ness, he  was  able  to  bring  to  bear  in  his 
chosen  field  the  enlarged  view,  the  dis- 
ciplined mind  and  the  developed  person- 
ality typical  of  the  successful  college 
man.  The  business  of  the  up-to-date  re- 
tail florist  is  transacted  with  people  of 
the  better  walks  of  life.  His  clients  are, 
for  the  most  part,  men  and  women  of 
taste  and  refinement,  which  makes  it  all 
the  more  to  be  desired  that  he  be  a  man 
of  more  than  average  culture.  When 
competition  is  keen  and  when  merchants 
are  put  to  their  wit's  end  in  devising 
new  ways  of  moving  their  wares,  the 
college-trained  man  has  everything  in 
his  favor.  The  notably  successful  flo- 
rist of  the  future  will  be  the  man  who 
takes  up  his  commercial  career  with  a 
broad  general  education. 

Mark  Palmer. 

There  is  better  organization  in  the 
business  world  today  than  at  any  pre- 
vious time  in  history.  It  is  vitally  es- 
sential for  the  achievement  of  progress. 
The  old  competitive  idea  is  obsolete  and 
cooperation,  instead  of  competition,  is 
the  life  of  the  trade.  What  was  once 
left  to  the  uncertain  solution  of  person- 
al initiative  is  now  being  solved  by  the 
concerted  action  of  trade  bodies,  the 
constructive  influence  of  which  is  now 
recognized  in  all  branches  of  the  flo- 
rists' profession.  To  sustain  this  great 
work,  leadership  must  be  forthcoming. 

It  is  extremely  gratifying  to  note  the 
active  part  taken  by  that  talented  young 
man,  Mark  Palmer,  of  Buffalo,  in  the 
trade  affairs  of  his  city.  Blessed  by  a 
pleasing  personal  presence  and  favored 
by  a  natural  aptitude  for  leadership, 
he  will  doubtless  develop  into  a  strong 
creative  force  in  the  local  councils  of 
the  organized  trade.  It  is  a  well  known 
fact  that  for  several  years  the  best 
young  men  have  been  drifting  away 
from  the  calling  of  their  florist  fathers, 
apparently  finding  greater  remuneration 
and  encouragement  in  other  lines  of  en- 
deavor. Now  that  the  war  has  substan- 
tially proved  the  florists'  business  to 
be  one  of  dignity  and  stability,  there 
is  no  reason  for  the  boy  to  fear  follow- 
ing in  the  course  of  his  parents.     The

profession  has  been  raised  to  a  higher 
plane,  oflfering  favorable  working  hours 
and  compensation  comparable  with  that 
of  other  industrial  pursuits.  For  young 
men  of  brains  and  ability  the  commer- 
cial flower  business  now   offers  better 


opportunities  than  ever  before.  And 
it  is  to  be  hoped  that  many  more  able 
young  men  like  Mr.  Palmer  will  embrace 
these  opportunities  by  adopting  the 
business  for   their  life  work.

TEACHINO  THE  PUBLIC. 


Unconscious   Education. 

There  is,  perhaps,  no  business  that 
has  made  the  same  rapid  strides  in  the 
last  fifty  years  that  the  retail  florists' 
business  has  made.  When  we  go  into 
the  history  of  the  growth  of  this  branch 
of  the  trade,  we  find  it  a  romance  in 
which  "Say  It  with  Flowers"  has 
played  the  leading  role. 

In  a  recent  article  it  was  my  endeavor 
to  bring  out  the  importance  of  educa- 
tion among  the  growers.  While  talk- 
ing this  matter  over  with  a  retailer,  we 
compared  the  number  of  retail  stores 
doing  business  in  a  large  city  twenty- 
five  years  ago  with  the  number  engaged 
in  a  like  calling  today.  Of  course,  as  the 
inhabitants  of  a  city  increase  the  num- 
ber of  stores  naturally  increases.  But 
the  retail  florists '  business  has  increased 
on  much  greater  proportion  than  the 
population  in  the  cities  of  this  country. 
Now,  the  reason  for  this  is,  I  think,  that 
the  florists  themselves  have  been  uncon- 
sciously sowing  among  the  public  the 
seeds  of  education,  which  are  now 
springing  into  life  and  bearing  fruit  a 
thousand-fold. 

Common  Efforts. 

The  object  of  this  article  is  to  bring 
out  the  fact  that,  if  the  education  of  the 
public  has  been  the  gp-eatest  factor  in 
the  miraculous  advance  the  business  has 
made  in  the  last  fifty  years  without  any 
well  defined  plan,  its  possibilities  in  the 
next  fifty  years,  with  all  who  are  en- 
gaged in  the  business  working  together 
with  this  object  in  view,  are  yet  greater. 
The  first  point  to  be  considered  is  the 
best  means  of  gaining  the  ear  and  the 
eye  of  the  public  and  in  no  better  way 
can  this  be  accomplished  than  by  every- 
one connected  with  any  branch  of  the 
business  or  its  allied  trades  getting  to- 
gether, for  the  more  flowers  that  are 
used,  the  more  supplies,  ribbons  and 
everything  of  this  description  that  goes 
to  make  up  the  retail  business,  will  be 
consumed. 

Let  everyone  get  behind  the  national 
advertising  campaign;  let  him  feel  that 
this  campaign  is  a  vital  part  of  his  own 
business  and  that  as  it  progresses  his 
individual  business  will  progress. 

Indeed,  both  the  publicity  campaign 
and  the  F.  T.  D.  are  fast  taking  such  a 
hold  upon  the  public  that  they  will  do 
more  for  the  florists'  business  in  the 
future  than  any  of  us  can  estimate  at 
the  present  time.  Both  of  them  have 
gone  beyond  the  experimental  stage; 
they  have  both  proved  themselves  to  be 
sound  business  propositions.  We  are  all 
familiar  with  the  fact  that  once  an  en- 
terprise gets  into  a  position  where  it 
pays  good  dividends,  its  stock  will  soon 
advance. 

Let  each  florist  feel  that  every  ad- 


vertisement in  the  magazines,  every 
billboard  and,  in  fact,  every  appearance 
of  the  slogan,  "Say  It  with  Flowers," 
is  his  personal  advertisement.  Conduct 
your  business  as  though  you  were  alojie 
responsible  for  it,  as  you  are  to  a  great 
extent,  to  the  customer  who  perhaps 
through  reading  somewhere  determines 
to  "Say  It  with  Flowers."  Let  your 
goods,  your  attention  and  your  skill  go 
to  make  one  whose  first  experience  it  is 
in  saying  it  with  flowers  realize  what  a 
perfect  way  it  is. 

New  Customers  and  Converts. 

This  is  what  the  practical  educator 
would  term  personal  work.  While  all 
that  goes  before  is  most  important,  it 
is  the  personal  work  that  finally  clinches 
all  that  the  advertising  campaign  has 
started  and  gains  a  convert  to  the  great 
army  who  on  every  occasion  will  "Say 
It  with  Flowers." 

In  handling  telegraph  orders,  personal 
work  is  most  important.  The  florist  re- 
ceives an  order  from  a  distant  city. 
It  may  be  for  a  funeral,  or  perhaps  a 
box  of  flowers  or  a  plant  for  some  happy 
occasion,  to  be  delivered  to  someone 
of  whom  you  have  never  heard  before. 
Consider  for  a  moment  the  possibilities 
in  such  a  case.  Perhaps  the  recipient 
has  never  had  occasion  to  buy  flowers 
before.  Cannot  you  readily  see  how 
important  it  is  that  your  wire  order 
should  be  better  than  satisfactory!  The 
novelty   of   your   order   being  sent   by 


someone  out  of  town,  probably  living  at 
a  great  distance,  will  have  its  effect  and 
in  every  case  we  may  depend  upon  the 
sender  being  near  and  dear  to  the  re- 
cipient. This  will  make  your  order  at- 
tract more  attention  than  any  other  re- 
ceived and  a  note  will  be  made  of  where 
it  comes  from;  in  nine  cases  out  of  ten, 
you  have  made  a  new  customer  and  at 
the  same  time  a  convert  to  flowergrams. 
Let  us  all  remember  that  in  our  edu- 
cation we  are  only  beginners.  Great 
things  are  ahead  of  us,  but  above  all 
things,  let  us  remember  that  no  one  who 
was  not  educated  ever  imparted  an  ed- 
ucation; there  is  only  one  way  to  ac- 
quire an  education  and  that  is  through 
constant  application   and  study.

E.  H.  Kunze,  proprietor  of  the  New- 
ton Floral  Co.,  Newton,  Kan.,  has  a 
fine  new  carnation,  which  has  the  ear- 
marks of  a  winner.  It  is  a  sport  from 
Supreme,  salmon  pink,  measuring  four 
inches,  and  has  a  stiff  stem,  good  calyx 
and  heavy  foliage.  Mr.  Kunze  points 
to  it  with  considerable  pride  and  says 
he  will  have  some  for  the  trade  next 
spring. 

According  to  Chas.  P.  Mueller,  of 
Wichita,  Kan.,  the  coal  situation  is  not 
so  bad  in  that  state,  though  he  himself 
is  installing  oil.  Mr.  Mueller  is  an 
authority  in  his  community,  being  active 
in  all  local  public  enterprises.  He 
states  that  within  a  few  days  the  agi- 
tators, not  miners,  will  be  moved  out 
by  the  governor  of  Kansas  and  once  the 
agitators  are  eliminated  the  miners  will 
return  to  work.  Most  of  the  miners,  he 
says,  want  to  return  to  work  and  the 
operators  will  treat  with  the  miners  in- 
dividually, to  their  mutual  benefit.  Mr. 
Mueller  has  added  another  delivery  car, 
a  Hudson  Supersix,  making  eight  cars 
in  use  for  his  two  successful  stores  and 
his  greenhouses.  Mr.  Mueller  is  presi- 
dent of  the  school  board,  head  of  the 
local  Botarians  and  at  the  head  of  the 
Civic  League.  J.  A.  L.

INSURANCE  TANGLE  GBOWS. 


Lawyers  Working  On  It. 

That  the  Indiana  florists  who  under- 
took to  straighten  out  the  affairs  of  the 
American  Mutual  Cyclone  &  Hail  In- 
surance Co.,  of  Muncie,  are  finding  their 
task  rather  more  difiicult  than  they  ex- 
pected is  shown  by  a  letter  sent  out  in 
printed  form  over  the  signature  of 
President  Dillon  Myers.  Apparently 
it  went  to  all  the  members  outside  the 
state  of  Indiana  and  it  puts  them  in 
doubt  as  to  their  status,  because  they 
previously  had  been  notified  that  they 
were  out,  simply  dropped.  Now  it  ap- 
pears legal  opinion  is  that  these  "for- 
eign" members  could  not  be  so  sum- 
marily disposed  of,  but  that  member- 
ship is  held  to  be  a  liability  instead 
of  an  asset. 

Here  is  the  case  of  a  Michigan  florist. 
He  took  out  membership  in  1918,  re- 
ceiving a  policy  for  $2,000.  In  the 
spring  of  1919  an  assessment  of  $70  was 


paid.  Shortly  after,  notice  was  received 
that  the  policy  was  void,  because  the 
company's  charter  did  not  permit  it  to 
write  insurance  outside  the  state  of 
Indiana.  The  florist  did  not  know  where 
he  was  "at"  and  did  nothing. 

Still  a  Member  and  Liable? 

Now  comes  the  following  letter  from 
President  Myers: 

We  are  trying  to  reorganize  the  American 
Mutual  Cyclone  &  Hail  Insurance  Co.,  of  Mun- 
cie, Ind.,  and  find  that  our  charter  does  not 
permit  the  carrying  of  risks  outside  of  the  state, 
but  that  all  properties  to  be  insured  "must  be 
located  within  the  state  of  Indiana."  To  con- 
tinue to  carry  such  risks  outside,  or  other  than 
in  Indiana,  would  mean  the  forfeiting  of  our 
charter  by  the  auditor  of  the  state,  who  has  wo 
informed  us. 

We  employed  an  attorney,  who,  after  thorough 
investigation,  informs  us  that  these  certificates 
of  membership,  or  so-called  policies,  are  binding 
on  all  parties  concerned  (members),  and  that  in 
a  final  settlement,  such  as  would  be  made  by  a 
receiver,  should  one  be  appointed  to  wind  up 
the  affairs  of  the  company,  these  certifi- 
cates of  membership  or  so-called  policies  would 
be  assessed  and  that  these  assessments  could  be 
collected  and  that  the  best  way  to  completely 
cancel  same  is  for  the  assured  to  sign  the  at- 
tached release  blank,  which  will  be  accepted  by 
the  company  and  placed  on  file.

This  will  cancel  your  membership  and  relieve 
you  from  any  future  liabilities,  as  under  the 
charter  each  member  is  liable  for  ten  per  cent 
of  the  total  amount  of  the  insurance  in  force, 
for  each  loss  if  needed,  and  as  the  certificates 
of  membership  or  so-called  policies  outside  of 
the  state  are  not  many,  and  your  assessment 
was  rather  a  high  one  the  last  time,  you  can 
see  that  it  will  be  to  your  interest  to  be  released 
from  any  future  obligation. 

We  regret  very  much  to  be  compelled  to  ask 
this  of  you,  but  in  order  that  we. may  save  our 
charter,  for  the  owners  of  Indiana  greenhouses 
who  have  assumed  the  complete  management  of 
the  company,  for  Indiana  exclusively,  we  would 
ask  you  as  Man  to  Man  to  help  us  in  this  way, 
by  signing  the  attached  blank  (release)  and  mail 
It  to  us  at  once,  in  the  enclosed  stamped  ad- 
dressed envelope,  which  will  be  greatly  appre- 
ciated,   we  assure  you,   and   oblige. 

The  blank  enclosed  was  a  mutual  re- 
lease, the  assured  releasing  the  company 
from  all  indemnities  or  claims  for  such 


and  the  company  releasing  the  assured 
from  all  further  dues  and  assessments. 

The  Present  MaJiagement. 

The  present  management,  which  took 
hold  of  the  concern  last  spring,  lies  in  a 
board  of  directors  all  of  whom  are  flo- 
rists in  Indiana.  They  elected  Dillon 
Myers,  of  Bluffton,  as  president,  but 
retained  as  secretary,  Janies  F,  Hilde- 
brand,  who  had  been  the  active  manager 
of  the  company  before  its  reorganiza- 
tion, receiving,  according  to  President 
Myers,  twenty-three  per  cent  of  the 
membership  fees,  including  those  of  the 
florists  outside  the  state.  •   '

F.  H.  B.  vs.  National  Interests. 

"We  are  unable  to  grasp  the  reason- 
ing of  official  or  scientiflc  minds,  which 
ignore  commercial  or  national  inter- 
ests," write  McHutchison  &  Co.,  New 
York.  "If  the  members  of  the  Federal 
Horticultural  Board  were  doctors  they 
would  confine  all  human  beings  to  their 
houses  for  fear  they  might  contract 
some  disease  if  allowed  to  run  loose,  and 
common  sense  shows  that  we  would  then 
soon  have  no  homes  or  sidewalks  or  in- 
tercourse with  others."  Their  attitude 
is  fully  apparent  from  their  response  to 
a  letter  addressed  to  the  board  by  Mc- 
Hutchison &  Co.  regarding  plant  im- 
ports bonded  to  Canada  coming  through 
United  States  ports.  The  inquiry  read 
as  follows: 

By  request  of  several  of  our  Canadian  custom- 
ers we  have  received  prices  from  them  upon 
Holland  nursery  stock,  consisting  for  the  most 
part  of  Azalea  mollis,  rhododendrons,  magnolias, 
boxwood,  roses,  etc.,  which  Canadian  laws  do 
not  prevent  Canadian  florists  from  importing  to 
•timulate  their  own  commerce,  as  our  United 
States  laws  do. 

These  nursery  stock  items  are  mostly  balled, 
1.  e.,  with  earth  about  the  roots.  In  one  of 
your  recent  letters  you  advised  that  such  stock 
cannot  come  through  United  States  entry  ports 
when  earth  is  about  the  roots,  even  though  they 
are    bonded    through    to    Canadian    ports. 

You  will  see  how  your  regulations  work  to  the 
disadvantage  of  American  trade.  Such  ship- 
ments will  have  to  be  forwarded  via  English 
and  Canadian  ports,  thus  driving  commerce  away 
from  American  ports.  It  will  also  be  a  dis- 
advantage to  the  Oanadian  importers,  as  they 
will  get  Blower  service  at  an  increased  price. 

Before  issuing  our  quotations  we  suggest,  as 
patriotic  Americans,  that  you  reconsider  the 
matter.  As  these  shipments  are  not  unpacked 
in  the  United  States,  there  is  not  the  slightest 
danger  of  introducing  insect  pests  or  plant  dis- 
eases in  the  United  States  through  them,  and 
we  do  not  think  it  is  your  intention  to  drive 
commerce  away  from  the  United  States  without 
adequate  reasons. 

In  quoting  to  Canadian  firms  we  must  either 
say  that  the  shipments  can  come  in  bond  through 
New  York  ports  as  usual,  or  that  we  can  book 
orders  only  when  the  Importer  makes  arrange- 
ments for  shipments  to  come  via  English  and 
Canadian  ports;  so  we  trust  you  will  give  proper 
consideration  to  the  matter  and  advise  us  of  your 
final  decision  as  soon  as  possible.  We  are  re- 
ceiving almost  daily  requests  from  chambers 
of  commerce  and  other  commercial  bodies  to 
boost  foreign  trade,  but  so  far  as  our  business  is 
concerned,  your  regulations  block  any  efforts 
•we  could  make.     Yours  truly, 

McHutchison    &    Co. 

How  remote  is  the  possibility  of  the 
F,  H.  B,  reconsidering  its  decisions  and 
now  firmly  their  present  ideas  are  es- 
tablished is  indicated  by  the  following 
reply  to  the  above  letter: 

In  reply  to  your  letter  of  November  13.  1 
would  say  that  although  our  regulations  prohib- 
iting the  importation  into  the  United  States  of 
plants  with  sand,   soil   and   earth  on   their  roots 


even  for  transmission  in  bond  do  work  some  dis- 
advantage to  American  brokers,  they  are  de- 
signed to  act  to  a  far  greater  advantage  to  the 
growers  of  plants  in  the  United  States.  One  of 
the  most  important  sources  of  foreign  insects 
which  have  come  into  the  United  States  and  have 
attacked  our  nursery  crops,  far<n  crops  and  wild 
and  ornamental  trees  has  been  the  balls  of 
earth  about  the  roots  of  imported  plants.  Many 
insects  spend  their  lives  buried  in  the  soil  and 
emerge  from  this  soil  to  attack  our  plants.  Even 
though  the  soil  is  tied  up  In  sacks  and  packed 
in  boxes,  these  insects  may  emerge  and  fly  away 
from  a  package,  thus  gaining  entry  into  this 
country.  It  is  therefore  one  of  the  very  neces- 
sary safeguards  of  this  Immediate  transporta- 
tion In  bond  that  the  plants  shall  not  have  sand, 
soil  or  earth  on  their  roots  and  that  bulbs  shall 
not  be  packed  in  sand,  soil  or  earth,  except  such 
sterilized  soil  as  is  provided  for  in  amendment 
1  to  Regulations  Supplemental  to  Notice  of 
Quarantine  37,  a  copy  of  which  I  enclose.  Very 
truly  yours,  R.   Kent  Beattie,

USINGEB'S  UTTERANCES. 

The  funeral  work  of  the  trade  in  De- 
troit, Mich.,  was  stimulated  recently  by 
the  arrival  of  the  bodies  of  the  fallen 
heroes  of  the  war  from  the  Russian  bat- 
tle fields.  Those  viewing  the  parade 
which  was  given  in  honor  of  these  sol- 
diers would  probably  prefer  that  the 
70,000  fallen  heroes  who  lie  in  France 
should  remain  there,  as  it  is  not  a  pleas- 
ant sight  to  see  a  city  in  mourning,  as 
would  happen  if  their  bodies  were  all 
brought  back  to  the  United  States.

At  the  Statler  hotel,  Detroit,  Mich., 
Tuesday  evening,  November  18,  the 
Florists'  Association  of  Detroit  held  in 
connection  with  its  regular  meeting  a 
small  but  complete  mum  show.  For  the 
variety,  color  and  size  of  the  mums  ex- 
hibited it  was  unbeatable.  The  feature 
display  was  one  by  private  growers,  who 
exhibited  the  largest  and  finest  exhibi- 
tion mums  ever  seen  here.  Elmer  D. 
Smith,  of  Adrian,  Mich.,  was  present 
and  had  a  collection  of  new  unnamed 
varieties  in  both  large  chrysanthemums 
and  pompons.  After  a  short  talk  on 
the  history  of  the  chrysanthemum,  Mr. 
Smith  discussed  the  merits  of  the  newer 
varieties,  a  subject  of  great  interest. 
He  also  showed  us  some  new  bushy  pot- 
grown  pompons,  which  he  promises  will 
be  a  possibility  in  a  year  or  two  in 
plants  of  the  4-inch  and  5-inch  pot  size. 
This  was  easily  the  most  interesting  of 
the  new  things  ofifered.  A  vase  of  the 
new  pompon.  Sunshine,  was  shown  by 
J.  B.  Goetz  Sons,  of  Saginaw,  Mich. 
The  Ruth  Baur  carnation  was  also  ex- 
hibited by  Baur  &  Steinkamp,  of  In- 
dianapolis, Ind.,  Mr.  Steinkamp  being  a 


guest.  W.  J.  &  M.  S.  Vesey,  of  Fort 
Wayne,  Ind.,  had  a  vase  of  Dolly  Din- 
pie  which  was  admirable.  And  Thomjis 
Browne,  Greenfield,  Mich.,  had  several 
vases  of  exquisite  mums,  beautifully 
grown.  A.  Miller,  of  the  American  Bulb 
Co.,  Chicago,  gave  an  interesting  talk  on 
Japan  and  showed  a  number  of  good 
pictures,  taken  during  his  visit  to  the 
land  of  Nippon.  The  meeting  was  well 
attended,  the  ladies  coming'in  for  their 
share,  and  was  concluded  with  a  vote 
of  thanks  to  the  speakers  and  to  those 
who  so  kindly  displayed  their  product's.

A.  H.  Evans,  of  Detroit,  was  passing 
around  the  cigars  last  week.  It's  a  boy. 
It  is  not  often  a  florist  has  the  good  for- 
tune to  travel  all  over  the  world.  Mr. 
Evans,  at  the  early  age  of  9,  was  learn- 
ing the  florists'  business.  The  wander- 
lust got  hold  of  him;  so  he  went  out  in 
search  of  romance  in  the  four  quarters 
pf  the  world.  After  many  years  of 
travel  and  work  in  foreign  countries, 
he  landed  in  Detroit,  liked  the  place, 
and  has  been  a  florist  there  ever  since. 


DXTLUTH,  MINN. 


The  Market. 

There  was  a  great  change  in  the 
weather  last  week,  changing  from  ex- 
treme winter  to  something  more  like 
spring,  and  consequently  business  ha* 
increased  wonderfully.  Counter  trade 
saw  a  marked  increase,  which  is  likely 
to  continue.  There  was  a  plentiful  sup- 
ply of  good  stock  for  Thanksgiving 
day.  The  local  cut  of  chrysanthemum.* 
is  at  its  best  this  week,  which  is  a  great 
advantage  to  the  florists  here,  for  noth- 
ing bruises  so  much  in  packing  as  the 
incurved  varieties  of  chrysanthemums. 
The  local  cut  includes  such  varieties  as 
Enguehard,  Bonnaffon,  Marigold,  Turn- 
er and  Oconto.  Roses  are  a  big  factor 
in  the  Thanksgiving  trade  and  fancy 
stock  is  in  plentiful  supply.  Carnations 
have  been  improving  right  along  and 
some  excellent  stock  has  been  seen  this 
week;  they  still  retain  their  good  prices 
There  was  a  glut  of  single  violets  last 
week  and  many  have  to  be  used  up  in 
funeral  work  to  get  rid  of  them,  while

double  violets  are  scarce.  There  is  a 
good  supply  of  potted  plants,  including 
Primula  obconica,  cyclamens  and  chrys- 
anthemums. Out-of-town  business  is 
increasing  right  along  and  a  great  deal 
of  stock  is  being  shipped  daily  to  the 
towns  on  the  Iron  Bange. 

Varioiis  Notes. 

The  Superior  Floral  Co.  had  the  elab- 
orate decoration  and  bouquets  for  the 
eruption  wedding.  A  canopy  of  south- 
ern smilax  was  made,  under  which  the 
wedding  took  place.  The  fireplace  was 
banked  with  palms  and  ferns,  with 
southern  smilax  entwined.  The  chande- 
lier was  decorated  with  lily  of  the  val- 
ley and  asparagus,  with  bows  of  white 
chiffon.  The  bride's  bouquet  consisted 
of  valley,  sweet  peas  and  cattleyas.  The 
bridesmaids'  bouquets  were  made  of 
My  Maryland  roses,  white  pompons  and 
gypsophila.  The  matron  of  honor  wore 
a  corsage  of  violets  and  cattleyas  and 
the  maid  of  honor  wore  a  corsage  of 
Shawyer  roses.  At  the  greenhouses  the 
carnations  are  just  coming  into  crop 
and  will  be  in  fine  cutting  for  Christ- 
mas. Victory,  White  Wonder  and  Pink 
Enchantress  are  varieties  that  are  doing 
exceedingly  well.  This  firm's  cut  of 
chrysanthemums  will  be  over  by  the  end 
of  the  week.  In  potted  plants  prim- 
roses and  cyclamens  will  be  in  good 
shape  for  the  Christmas  trade. 

F.  C.  Ashby,  of  the  Tower  Floral  Co., 
Superior  street,  had  a  large  decoration 
for  a  reception  banquet  given  for  the 
MeKellar  wedding  at  the  Gitchi  Nidji 
Club.  Two  long  tables,  at  which  were 
seated  100  guests,  were  set  under  a 
canopy  of  southern  smilax  with  small 
art  baskets,  which  were  hung  from  the 
arches,  filled  with  Killarney  roses  and 
tied  with  small  bows  of  white  chiffon. 
There  was  also  a  large  basket  filled 
with  chrysanthemums  hanging  from  the 
center.  The  fireplace  was  banked  with 
palms  and  ferns  and  yellow  chrysanthe- 
mums. Mr.  Ashby  says  that  business 
has  been  satisfactory  during  the  last 
month,  since  he  has  been  able  to  clean 
up  most  of  his  stock  each  day  without 
much  waste. 

O.  J.  Eichen,  of  the  Duluth  Floral 
Co.,  went  to  Chicago  on  a  buying  trip

MILWAT7EEE,  WIS. 


The  liarket. 

Last  week  saw  the  end  of  surplus 
stock.  Saturday  the  market  cleaned  up 
in  a  thorough  manner,  which  has  not 
happened  before  during  this  season. 

Aji  unusually  large  number  of  mums 
were  grown  this  year,  and  as  their  sea- 
son comes  to  an  end  the  grower  of  other 
flowers  comes  into  his  own.  There  is 
no  reason  to  believe  that  prices  will  soar 
to  the  height  of  last  year,  but  prices 
will,  no  doubt,  be  firm  for  a  long  time. 

A  large  number  of  Paper  White  nar- 
cissi were  on  the  market  last  week  at 
poor  prices  and  moved  slowly.  Good 
stevia  is  here  and  sells  readily,  because 
there  has  not  been  an  overabundance 
of  it.  Sweet  peas  are  arriving  slowly 
and  lack  quality,  but  sell  at  good  prices. 
Violets  are  still  scarce,  of  good  quality 
and  firm  in  price.  Calla  lilies  are  be- 
coming more  numerous  and  are  in  good 
demand.  Carnations  are  short  in  sup- 
ply and  the  crops  seem  slow  to  throw 
heavy  cuts.  All  roses  have  been  plen- 
tiful except  red  roses  and  Beauties.

STRIVING  to  tell  why  E.  G.  Hill  is  in  the  "Who's  Who"  of  the  trade  is  akin 
to  painting  the  lily,  carrying  coals  to  Newcastle  and  similar  vain  undertak- 
ings. Particularly  is  it  so  now,  when  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Hill  have  just  completed  their 
own  ' '  swing  around  the  circle ' '  and  met  face  to  face  fellow  florists  in  many  cities. 
Their  tour  was,  judging  from  this  snapshot  at  Seattle,  more  beneficial  than  the  late 
presidential  one;  Mr.  Hill  admits  he  gained  ten  pounds  and  says  the  trip  did  both 
him  and  Mrs.  Hill  a  world  of  good.  The  western  call  has  always  been  strong  in 
Mr.  Hill;  he  started  life  at  Rochdale,  England,  September  11,  1847,  but  three  years 
later  reached  Geneva,  N.  Y.,  and  in  1870  got  to  Richmond,  Ind.,  where  he  has  taken 
firm  root.  Although  the  American  Rose  Annual  credits  him  with  thirty-five 
varieties,  Mr.  Hill  expects  to  raise  more  roses,  some  as  good  as  the  famous  Columbia 
and  Premier,  even  if  he  has  passed  three  score  and  ten.  No,  he  doesn't  look  it 
and  he  doesn't  act  it. 


Advertising  Club's  Booth. 

A  booth  was  maintained  November 
20  to  25  by  the  Florists'  Advertising 
Club  at  the  Food,  Household  and  Music 
exposition  held  in  the  Auditorium.  A 
large  sign  in  the  background,  a  fac- 
simile of  the  S.  A.  F.  slogan,  "Say  It 
with  Flowers,"  easily  caught  the  eye. 
Visitors  were  shown  inexpensive  ways 
in  which  to  arrange  flowers  in  their 
homes.  The  booth  was  arranged  as  a 
dining  room,  with  table  and  buffet 
trimmed  for  a  festive  occasion.  Numer- 
ous vases  of  mums  were  also  shown. 
Ladies  were  in  charge  to  give  informa- 
tion to  the  public  regarding  prices  and 
combinations  of  flowers  which  could  be 
readily  procured  from  any  florist  at  lit- 
tle cost.  The  baskets  and  centerpieces 
shown  were  all  under  $5  in  retail  value. 
Keeping  in  mind  the  class  which  would 
be  expected  to  show  interest  in  a  house- 
hold show,  the  Advertising  Club  kept  its 
displays  moderate  in  cost  and  there  is 
no  doubt  that  a  great  deal  of  good  re- 
sulted. 


Various  Notes. 

The  new  store  of  Baumgarten,  Inc., 
which  opened  Tuesday,  November  25,  at 
93  Wisconsin  street,  gives  evidence  by 
its  artistic  appointments  of  the  good 
taste  of  Mrs.  Ida  Baumgarten,  who  is 
the  active  head  of  this  firm.  As  Mrs. 
Baumgarten  puts  it,  "Success  has  led 
us  to  this  location,  where  we  can  more 
fully  provide  our  patrons  with  the  lit- 
tle niceties  added  to  each  order  which 
are  so  much  appreciated."  Many 
friends  in  and  out  of  the  trade  were 
present  at  the  opening  to  wish  them 
well. 

A  meeting  of  the  board  of  directors  of 
the  Florists'  Advertising  Club  was  held 
November  18  at  the  Blatz  hotel.  Money 
was  appropriated  for  December  and 
January  advertising,  to  cover  car  cards 
and  newspaper  work. 

Mrs.  Mazey,  of  Minneapolis,  Minn., 
and  Julius  Schaeffer,  with  Scruggs- Van- 
dervoort-Barney,  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  were  in 
the  city  last  week,  attending  to  Christ- 
mas purchases.  A.  H.  M.

Ck)NsiDERATiON  of  the  viewpoint  of  the 
person  on  the  other  end  of  a  sale  or  pur- 
chase will  give  one  a  business  insight  that 
is  exceedingly  valuable. 

One  express  company  received  over 
300,000  shipments  at  its  nineteen  "no 
mark  bureaus"  last  year.  Surely  the 
"Pack  it  Right,  Mark  it  Right"  cam- 
paign was  needed.

for  several  days  by  a  fine  vase  of  a  new 
pompon  mum,  Seedling  No.  10,  from  B. 
E.  Moss,  Vinita,  Okla.  The  large,  full, 
snow-white  flower  has  excellent  keeping 
quality. 

It  is  with  pleasure  that  The  Review 
greets  the  reappearance  of  its  contempo- 
rary, the  Florists'  Exchange,  with  its 
Rochester  date  line,  after  the  suspen- 
sion by  the  printing  trades  in  New  York 
city.  We  hope  that  it  may  soon  be  is- 
sued regularly  again  from  its  own  print- 
ing plant,  which  long  has  been  a  model 
of  its  kind. 

The  publishers  of  The  Review  can  look 
back  to  the  time  when  one  man  did  most 
of  the  typesetting,  and  in  a  few  hours. 
But  those  days  are  past.  Now  the  com- 
position is  a  real  problem.  It  is  impos- 
sible to  provide  enough  men  to  set  all  the 
type  in  the  day  or  two  preceding  the  hour 
of  going  to  press;  composition  must  go 
on  all  through  the  week.  It  is  the  cus- 
tom of  weekly  trade  papers  in  other  lines 
to  close  the  next  issue  as  soon  as  the  pre- 
ceding one  has  gone  on  the  press,  thus 
getting  a  week  for  the  typesetting,  but 
The  Review  can  hold  its  forms  open  until 
the  night  before  an  adition  goes  to  press — 
can  hold  open,  that  is,  if  its  friends  do 
not  throw  too  much  of  the  work  into  that 
last  day.  Mail  copy  to  reach  Chicago  Fri- 
day or  Saturday  when  you  can. 


"IN  FLANDEBS  FIELDS." 

Nearly  all  retail  florists  felt  the  call 
for  poppies  for  Armistice  day,  but  could 
not  profit  by  it. 

In  a  large  number  of  places  there  was 
concerted  effort  to  make  of  November 
11  another  general  flower  day,  but  the 
measure  of  success  for  the  first  attempt 
was  not  such  as  to  arouse  sanguine  ex- 
pectations. The  only  real,  spontaneous 
call  was  for  poppies,  the  flowers  that 
blow  in  the  Flanders  fields  of  the  verses. 

We  can  make  November  11  a  poppy 
day  without  half  trying.  Is  it  worth 
while? 

In  this  connection  it  is  worth  noting 
that  a  British  seed  house,  Baker's,  of 
Codsall,  Wolverhampton,  is  introducing 
a  novelty  called  Sunbeam  poppies.  The 
disseminator  says:  "In  color  they  re- 
semble the  well-known  Iceland  poppy, 
but  in  length  and  strength  of  stem,  size 
of  flower,  robust  habit,  they  are  so  far 
in  advance  as  to  justify  their  b^ing  con- 
sidered a  new  type.  Flowering  from 
May  to  October,  makes  them  an  ideal 
plant  either  for  the  hardy  border  or 
bedding  work,  while  for  cut  flower  pur- 
poses we  predict  they  will,  when  known, 
be  used  as  universally  as  the  sweet 
pea, ' '  The  Sunbeam  poppies  were  given 
an  award  of  merit  by  the  Royal  Horti- 
cultural Society  July  19  and  may  be  just 
what  we  want  for  Armistice  day. 


FXaUBES  ON  BIO  BXJYINO. 

To  the  florist  who  wishes  to  compare 
the  advance  in  his  sales  over  other  years 
with  the  much  discussed  increase  in  buy- 
ing in  merchandise  lines,  the  figures  of 
last  week's  trade  report  of  R.  G.  Dun 
&  Co.  offer  these  statements: 

"Retail  business  is  fifty  to  seventy- 
five  per  cent  larger  than  in  November 
of  last  year.  Mail  order  houses  are  do- 
ing thirty  to  forty  per  cent  more  busi- 
ness than  in  last  November.  These 
figures  mean  new  high  record  totals  for 
business  in  the  current  month  and  offer 
the  best  explanation  possible  for  the 
pressure  on  the  wholesale  markets  which 
is  constantly  forcing  prices  upward. 

"Quotations  on  merchandise  in  many 
cases  are  already  considerably  higher 
than  the  highest  of  war  times  and  there 
is  no  evidence  of  either  the  satisfying 
of  demands  or  the  exercise  of  restraint 
on  the  part  of  buyers. 

' '  Indications  are  that  the  approaching 
holiday  trade  will  be  limited  only  by 
the  difl5culty  of  obtaining  sufficient 
goods  with  which  to  meet  demands. ' ' 


COAL  MEN  IN  DEADLOCK. 

After  the  operators  made  propositions 
which  the  coal  men  turned  down,  Secre- 
tary of  Labor  Wilson  suggested  an  in- 
crease amounting  to  31.61  per  cent, 
which  was  approved  by  the  miners  but 
rejected  by  the  operators.  The  latter 
desired  the  administration's  agreement 
to  an  increase  in  price  to  the  consumer 
to  cover  the  added  wages,  but  the  gov- 
ernment officials  declare  the  mine  own- 
ers have  drawn  enormous  profits  of  late 
and  can  stand  the  wage  increase  with- 
out suffering  a  loss  of  profits  of  a  proper 
percentage.  So  a  deadlock  on  three 
sides  holds  up  production. 

In  the  meantime  state  governors  are 
taking  steps  to  seize  the  mines  and  en- 
force operation.  And  not  too  soon,  for 
in    many    localities    the    public    utility 


companies  are  suffering  from  shortage 
of  fuel  and  industrial  establishments 
are  commencing  to  close.  Though  the 
latter  are  few  now,  the  number  may 
grow  rapidly  in  the  course  of  a  week  or 
two,  say  many,  for  the  fuel  adminis- 
tration cannot  administer  fuel  if  no 
one  will  mine  it.  Action  of  some  sort  is 
expected  daily  to  reasw  productive  ac- 
tivity. 

Florists  who  have  their  coal  are  pro- 
ceeding serenely.  Others  are  hoping 
for  the  deadlock  to  be  broken.  In  that 
lies  their  only  hope,  for  even  firms  on 
the  preferred  lists  no  longer  can  expect 
to  secure  supplies  of  coal.  Even  street 
cars  are  cold  and  city  electric  lights 
fail  to  flicker.  The  shortage  is  increas- 
ingly acute  and  may  become  dai'gerous 
if  the  conference  at  Washington  does 
not  reach  an  early  decision. 


SPBEADING  THE  GOOD  WOBD. 

"Our  stuff  is  the  best  of  its  kind 
in  America,"  said  a  man  to  us  the  other 
day.  ' '  Don 't  doubt  it  a  bit,  if  you  say 
it,"  said  we,  "and  that  being  the  case, 
how  splendidly  it  would  pay  you  to  hire 
an  advertising  man,  because  right  now 
the  trade  thinks  one  of  the  other  fellows 
sets  the  pace  in  your  line!  "  "Yes,  and 
it's  the  ads  that  have  made  most  of 
them  think  so,"  chimed  in  a  prospec- 
tive customer  of  our  friend.  It's  like 
this: 

Review  ads  sure  get  the  business. — Aubrey 
A.  Hart,  Hart  Floral  Co.,  Blackwell,  Okla.,  No- 
vember  18,    1919. 

If  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.

and  superior  because  It  is  the  best  of  its  color 
to  date;  commercially  valuable  as  a  bud,  half 
expanded   flower   and   full   flower.

OBITUARY 


Daniel  Sidney  Bro\7n. 

Daniel  Sidney  Brown,  well  known  for 
years  in  the  trade  as  a  collector  of 
orchids,  died  at  his  home,  5221  Wash- 
ington boulevard,  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  No- 
vember 17,  from  a  stroke  of  apoplexy, 
at  the  age  of  66  years.  Mr.  Brown's 
collection  of  orchids  was  considered  the 
finest  in  the  country  and  was  recently 
given  to  the  Missouri  Botanical  Gar- 
den. A  blanket  of  the  finest  orchids 
from  this  collection  was  sent  by  "the  di- 
rectors of  the  garden  and  covered  the 
casket. 

Alexander  Common. 

Alexander  Common,  of  412  Grand 
Eiver  avenue,  Detroit,  died  Friday, 
November  21.  He  had  been  in  the  trade 
in  Detroit  for  twenty-two  years.  He 
retired  last  spring  on  account  of  ad- 
vanced age,  being  over  60  years  old.  He 
was  buried  at  Gault,  Ont.      J.  A.  L. 


DETKOIT,  MICH. 


Tbe  Market. 

With  warmer  and  brighter  weather, 
which  brings  on  the  stock,  all  growers 
were  cutting  in  large  quantities.  The 
first  part  of  last  week  there  was  plenty 
for  all,  but  in  the  latter  part  stock  was 
scarce.  Business  has  been  increasing, 
with  occasionally  a  big  job  coming  in, 
which  would  clear  the  market  of  what 
happened  to  be  on  hand. 

Mums  are  in  large  supply,  but  the  de- 
mand seems  to  have  no  limit.  All  the 
varieties  clear  each  day  with  the  ex- 
cption  of  white  mums.  Yellow  Eaton 
and  Golden  Chadwick  are  the  best  yel- 
lows which  the  market  affords  and  buy- 
ers have  to  be  in  the  market  early  to 
get  any.  They  are  large  in  bloom  and 
with  long,  straight  stems — really  speci- 
men stock.  Patty  is  high-grade  stock, 
but  it  has  a  tendency  to  wilt.  However, 
many  boxes  of  them  are  soon  disposed 
of.  Enguehard  is  of  large  flower,  but 
the  bloom  is  a  bit  too  heavy  for  its  stem. 
However,  they  bring  a  good  price  and 
have  no  trouble  in  finding  the  buyers. 
Chas.  Bager,  a  beautiful  white,  is  in 
good  supply,  but  the  demand  does  not 
incline  toward  the  white  varieties. 
White  Chadwicks  are  few  and  of  won- 
derful quality;  the  buyer  feels  fortunate 
to  get  them.  Boman  Gold  is  smaller, 
second-grade  stock  and  the  market  has 
plenty  for  sale.  Bonnaffons  are  medium 
in  size  and  with  short  stems;  they  are 
always  in  demand  even  if  they  are  poor 
keepers.  There  are  a  few  novelties  to 
be  had,  such  as  Harvard,  a  beautiful 
red,  and  Barbara  Davis,  a  bronze  col- 
ored mum.  They  are  short  in  supply. 
Maud  Deans  are  high-class  in  quality 
with  a  good  supply  in  the  market;  their 
demand  is  fair. 

Pompons  are  a  bit  short  in  supply, 
except  in  the  poorer  grades.  Bronze 
and  yellow  are  most  favored  by  the 
buyers.  Mrs.  Frank  Wilcox  (known  as 
Mrs.  Beu)  is  in  crop,  but  it  is  quickly 
disposed  of,  also  Golden  Climax. 

Roses  are  plentiful  in  the  market,  but 
the  growers  are  not  cutting  large  quan- 
tities. Premiers  are  the  leaders  and  are 
of  high  quality.  They  sell  slowly,  bring- 


ing a  high  price,  but  the  supply  usually 
is  well  distributed.  They  are  of  good 
color  and  size  with  long,  straight  stems. 
Columbias  are  also  high-class,  with  the 
supply  a  bit  short  for  the  demand. 
Ophelias  are  of  all  grades  and  qualities. 
The  high-colored  buds  are  just  equal 
to  the  demand  and  bring  a  fair  price 
considering  the  high  quality,  but  the 
lighter  colored  ones  have  the  appear- 
ance of  having  been  kept  too  long  by 
the  grower,  being  partly  open  and  faded 
in  color.  Hoosier  Beauties  are  short  in 
supply;  those  to  be  had  are  of  good  size 
and  stiff  stem.  The  other  roses,  such 
as  Shawyer,  Sunburst,  Killarneys  and 
Eussell,  are  fine  stock  and  clear  slowly 
each  day.  Wards  are  plentiful  and  are 
nice,  sturdy  buds;  hence  the  supply  is 
not  in  overabundance.  White  roses,  like 
the  other  varieties,  are  of  good  quality 
with  a  steady  cut,  but  they  are  in  de- 
mand one  day  and  off  the  next.  Bon 
Silenes  are  off  crop,  with  only  a  few  to 
be  had.  Sweethearts  are  being  cut  too 
ripe,  which  depreciates  their  value  to 
the  retailer. 

Carnations  are  coming  finely.  All 
colors  are  to  be  had,  of  good  stock.  The 
demand  is  poor  and  it  is  a  good  thing 
that  they  are  not  in  heavier  crop. 

The  other  flowers  in  season,  such  as 
calendulas,  sweet  peas,  bouvardia.  Paper 
Whites,  snapdragons  and  violets,  are  all 
to  be  had,  but  are  not  appreciated  by 
the  buyers  or  the  public. 

Plants  are  off  crop,  only  cyclamens 
and  mum  plants  being  available  and 
those  in  too  small  quantity  to  allow 
choice,  so  that  the  demand  is  poor.  The 
supply  of  asparagus,  maidenhair  ferns 
and  smilax  is  heavy. 

Club  Meeting  and  Flower  Show. 

The  Detroit  Florists'  Club  met  at 
the  Hotel  Statler,  Tuesday  evening, 
November  18,  in  connection  with  an  ex- 
hibition of  roses,  mums  and  other  flow- 
ers. A.  Miller,  of  the  American  Bulb 
Co.,  Chicago,  addressed  the  club  on  his 
recent  trip  to  Japan  and  his  observa- 
tions of  the  large-scale  lily  bulb  grow- 
ers of  that  country.  The  next  speaker 
was  O.  E.  Steinkamp,  of  Baur  &  Stein- 
kamp,  Indianapolis,  Ind.,  who  dis- 
cussed the  Ruth  Baur  carnation  and 
then  extended  a  welcome  to  all  to  at- 
tend the  F.  T.  D.  convention  in  Indian- 
apolis next  year.  Philip  Breitmeyer,  of 
John  Breitmeyer 's  Sons,  called  atten- 
tion to  the  beautiful  exhibits  and  com- 
plimented the  growers  on  their  contri- 
butions to  the  success  of  the  show. 
Albert  Pochelon,  secretary  of  the  F.  T. 
D.,  spoke  highly  of  the  careful  way  in 
which  the  mums  were  packed  and  urged 
that  commercial  packing  should  be 
brought  up  to  the  same  standard. 
Finally,  Elmer  D.  Smith,  of  Adrian, 
Mich.,  gave  an  interesting  and  instruc- 
tive talk  on  chrysanthemums  and  the 
problems  of  the  development  of  new  va- 
rieties; his  talk  was  illustrated  with 
two  boxes  of  sample  mums. 

Among  the  exhibits  were  the  follow- 
ing: Collection  of  new  varieties  of 
mums,  by  Elmer  D.  Smith,  Adrian, 
Mich.;  vases  of  Golden  Chadwick  and  of 
Patty  mums,  by  Thomas  Browne,  Green-

Saginaw,  Mich.;  Madame  Butterfly,  a 
sport  from  Ophelia,  but  deeper  in  color, 
by  the  Joseph  H.  Hill  Co.,  Richmond, 
Ind.;  Frank  W.  Dunlop,  a  seedling  of 


the  Russell  type,  but  larger  and  heavier, 
by  John  H.  Dunlop,  Toronto,  Ont.;  Ruth 
Baur,  by  Baur  &  Steinkamp,  Indian- 
apolis, Ind.,  and  Glory  of  Wandsbek 
cyclamen,  by  the  Geo.  Wittbold  Co., 
Chicago.

George  Doemling  bowled  the  high

his  3-game  average  is  also  high  for  the 
season,  being  199. 

Various  Notes. 

Albert  Winkler,  of  John  Breitmeyer 's 
Sons,  was  at  Bay  City,  Mich.,  for  three 
days  working  on  a  wedding  decoration. 

Alex  Common,  of  Grand  River  avenue, 
died  November  21.  Further  account  ap- 
pears in  the  obituary  column  this  week. 

Philip  Breitmeyer  has  returned  from 
New  York.  His  views  on  the  trade  and 
market  of  eastern  cities  are  optimistic, 
but  for  Detroit  growers  he  has  many 
compliments  for  their  stock  as  com- 
pared with  that  in  other  markets. 

E.  A.  Fetters  has  been  ill  with  the 
grip,  which  accounts  for  his  bowling 
less  than  180. 

Walter  Taepke,  of  Gratiot  avenue, 
had  all  hands  busy  with  a  large  decora- 
tion for  the  Knights  of  Columbus  last 
week. 

Wayne  MacLaughlin,  of  John  Breit- 
meyer's  Sons,  is  on  a  trip  to  Kansas 
City  and  will  visit  other  cities  en  route. 

Beard  Bros.,  of  Fort  street  west,  has 
a  fine  lot  of  cyclamens  in  bloom. 

Thomas  Browne,  of  Greenfield,  Mich., 
is  cutting  mums  in  large  quantities. 
His  white  and  yellow  Chadwicks  are 
indeed  fine  stock.  He  is  also  cutting 
fine  pompons  in  large  quantities. 

The  Breitmeyer  Floral  Co.,  of  Mount 
Clemens,  Mich.,  is  cutting  Major  Bon- 
naffons in  great  quantities.  This  firm 
is  also  bringing  stevia  into  the  market. 

The  Doemling-Schimmel  Co.,  of  Mount 
Clemens,  Mich.,  is  cutting  a  fine  grade 
of  Columbia  and  Hoosier  Beauty,  also 
Ward  buds.  H.  T.

The  Market. 


Activity  increased  steadily  as  Thanks- 
giving approached  and  prices  improved 
with  the  demand,  so  that  it  is  the  gen- 
eral report  that  conditions  have  been  ex- 
cellent during  the  last  few  days.  In- 
deed, many  of  the  wholesalers,  both 
growers  and  commission  men,  are  able  to 
report  that,  except  for  a  few  days  in  the 
middle  of  the  month,  November  sales

have  been  running  steadily  ahead  of  last 
year.  This  has  been  in  spite  of  much 
lower  average  prices  and  in  spite  of  an 
almost  total  absence  of  funeral  work,  in 
notable  contrast  to  the  tremendous  call 
for  funeral  flowers  a  year  ago.  The 
quantity  of  stock  handled  has,  of  course, 
been  much  greater  than  last  November. 
While  it  is  impossible  at  this  writing 
to  give  anything  more  than  a  rough 
survey  of  the  Thanksgiving  demand,  it 
is  evident  that  in  quantity  of  stock 
moved  and  in  aggregate  sales,  it  has 
eclipsed  all  previous  records  for  the  Chi- 
cago market.  There  has  been  an  enor- 
mous business.  While  prices  were  not 
high  enough  to  awaken  any  special  de- 
gree of  enthusiasm  in  the  growers,  they 
were  firm  enough  so  that  retailers  felt 
confidence  in  the  stability  of  the  mar- 
ket and  bought  freely. 


Chrysanthemums  occupied  the  center 
of  the  stage  for  Thanksgiving,  as  they 
have  all  through  November.  Those  who 
feared  a  scarcity  found  their  apprehen- 
sions groundless.  There  was,  however, 
a  shortage  of  strictly  first-class  stock;  a 
large  percentage  of  the  mums  this  year 
have  looked  as  though  they  were  a  catch 
crop,  a  space  filler,  and  had  received 
insuflScient  care.  It  is  the  general  re- 
port that  the  Chicago  market  has  had 
more  mums  this  season  than  ever  be- 
fore and,  from  the  growers,  that  there 
has  been  no  money  in  them.  Perhaps 
the  explanation  is  to  be  found  in  the 
large  proportion  of  low-grade  flowers, 
for  the  well-grown  stock  certainly  sold 
well  for  Thanksgiving.  Pompons  were 
moved  in  great  quantities.  The  prices 
were  not  nearly  so  high  as  last  year, 
but  were  the  best  of  the   season.     It 


develops  that  the  supply  of  bunch  mums 
will  hold  out  another  two  or  three  weeks 
and  that  there  are  several  growers  who 
have  houses  of  Chadwick,  Nonin  and 
Frick  still  to  cut.  A  stiff  market  is 
expected  from  now  on. 

The  Thanksgiving  call  for  roses  did 
not  run  to  the  longer  grades.  The  peo- 
ple who  buy  flowers  for  the  family  table 
do  not  ask  for  the  highest-priced  flowers 
and  the  call  for  the  longest  roses  wa* 
limited  to  social  uses.  Beauties  are  not 
in  large  supply,  are  mostly  long-stemmed 
and  sold  at  what  were  Christmas  prices 
in  the  years  just  before  1918.  Bussell 
is  less  of  a  factor  than  earlier  in  the 
season;  it  is  without  a  peer  as  a  summer 
rose,  but  Premier  now  is  coming  into 
its  own.  Columbia  has  not  lost  any 
friends.  White  is  in  small  supply  and 
there  are  not  many  red  at  present.

Carnations  moved  up  for  Thanksgiv- 
ing, but  their  time  will  not  come  until 
the  pompons  are  gone.  Violets  turned 
unexpectedly  scarce.  Telegrams  to  the 
Hudson  river  growing  district  brought 
the  information  that  the  New  York 
market  had  come  to  life  and  that  violets 
were  bringing  $3  there,  resulting  in  di- 
verting most  of  the  shipments,  Cattle- 
yas  are  in  such  concentrated  control 
that  November  22  the  price  was  pushed 
as  high  as  $3  per  flower.  Of  course,  only 
a  few  can  be  sold  at  such  a  figure.  Dark 
weather  has  limited  the  sweet  pea  sup- 
ply. There  is  enough  valley,  usually, 
at  the  price.  Lilies  will  be  scarce  until 
late  January. 


Paper  Whites  have  come  down.  Their 
action  has  been  a  disappointment  to 
many  people  and,  unless  conditions 
change,  it  presages  a  much  reduced  de- 
mand for  the  bulbs  next  season.  If  the 
flowers  do  not  net  the  grower  6  cents 
this  season,  nothing  but  hope  will  keep 
him  at  it  next  year. 

The  growers  have  been  complaining 
in  chorus  the  last  few  weeks.  To  hear 
them  tell  it,  none  of  them  is  making 
anything.  All  their  costs  have  risen, 
especially  for  labor,  and  undeniably  the 
price  of  flowers  is  much  lower  than  last 
year.  But  there  is  a  general  feeling 
that  prices  will  improve  as  the  mums  go 
off.     The  quantity  of  stock  which  has 


been  sold  shows  the  retailers  as  a  body 
are  having  a  big  season  and  it  is  be- 
lieved by  many  that  the  gravy  will 
now  be  passed  to  the  producers. 

Lord  &  Bumliam  Qet  Contract. 

The  addition  to  the  range  of  the 
Weiss-Spandikow  Co.,  Maywood,  re- 
ferred to  in  The  Eeview  for  November 
20,  has  since  then  been  put  under  con- 
tract. It  is  with  the  Lord  &  Burnham 
Co.  and  calls  for  four  iron-frame  struc- 
tures, each  70x400.  Two  are  to  be  built 
at  once  and  two  are  optional,  to  be  sub- 
ject to  call  when  wanted. 

These  will  be  the  first  of  this  type  of 
house  to  be  built  within  easy  motoring

Miss  Kennedy  Sings  Our  Song. 

Three  hundred  florists  and  their 
friends,  probably  the  largest  party  of 
our  trade  which  ever  attended  a  show 
in  a  body,  gave  Miss  Frances  Kennedy 
an  ovation^  welcome  at  the  Majestic 
theater  Tuesday  evening,  November  25. 
A.  Lange  had  placed  over  200  of  our 
people  in  a  group  on  the  main  floor  and 
there  were  at  least  100  more  scattered 
through  the  house.  The  song,  "Say  It 
with  Flowers,"  the  singer  and  the  floral 
decorations  were  a  hit. 

After  the  show  there  was  a  lively 
supper  party  at  the  Hotel  Morrison, 
with  Miss  Kennedy  as  guest  of  honor. 
All  the  florists  and  their  families  had 
been  invited  to  participate,  a  special 
room  had  been  engaged  and  the  whole 
affair  made  a  fine  start  for  the  admin- 
istration of  President   Asmus. 

The  management  of  the  Majestic  is 
playing  up  the  act,  taking  advantage  of 
tlie  trade's  cooperation.  The  lobby  is 
profusely  decorated.  Monday  and  Tues- 
day the  decorations  were  by  the  Bo- 
hannon  Floral  Co.,  Wednesday  and 
Thursday  by  A.  Lange;  Friday  and  Sat- 
urday they  will  be  done  by  Andrew 
Chronis,  of  the  Alpha  Floral  Co.,  with 
J.  L.  Easke  decorating  for  the  big  Sun- 
day crowd. 

Christmas  Greens. 

With  the  passing  of  Thanksgiving, 
Christmas  greens  come  into  the  fore- 
ground. All  the  conditions  point  to  a 
big  demand  this  year. 

Lycopodium,  known  by  various 
aliases,  is  and  probably  will  continue 
scarce.  It  is  said  to  be  selling  freely  at 
16  cents  per  pound.  Eeport  has  it  that 
one  house  holds  most  of  the  visible  sup- 
ply, the  result  of  being  the  early  bird 
and  equipping  its  buyer  with  cash 
money.

unable  t©  leave  their  places  at  night,  it 
waa  considered  advisable  to  meet  dur- 
ing the  daytime  in  the  future,  and  a 
trial  will  be  made  of  the  next  meeting, 
which  will  be  held  at  the  Eandolph  ho- 
tel December  11  at  2  p.  m. 

Secretary  Otto  H.  Amling  says  that 
in  order  to  stimulate  the  demand  and 
thereby  get  better  average  returns  for 
flowers,  the  growers  are  considering  re- 
sorting to  publicity.  This  will  be  the 
special  subject  for  discussion  at  the  next 
meeting. 

Various  Notes. 

There  have  been  unusual  quantities 
of  exceptionally  good  chrysanthemum 
plants  in  the  retail  stores,  where  they 
have  sold  well,  this  month.  Poehlmann 
Bros.  Co.  and  Frank  Oechslin  have  been 
principal  sources  of  supply,  but  many 
other  growers  have  had  smaller  good 
lots.  Cyclamens  of  excellent  quality  for 
80  early  in  the  season  appeared  in  time 
for  the  Thanksgiving  trade. 

F.  M.  Johnson  says  the  growers'  inter- 
ests come  first;  that  prosperous  growers 
mean  prosperous  retailers,  wholesalers, 
supply  dealers,. bulb  merchants  and  trade 
papers.  Furthermore,  Mr.  Johnson  says 
he  has  come  to  the  conclusion  that  cut 
flower  prices  are  largely  a  state  of  mind, 
meaning  that  if  we  think  of,  say,  the 
carnation  as  a  4-cent  flower  we  consider 
prices  high  or  low  as  they  exceed  or 
fall  short  of  that  figure;  but  if  we 
thought  of  it  as  a  6-cent  flower  it  would 
be  as  easily  sold  on  that  basis. 

The  golf  bug  has  bitten  A.  Henderson. 
It  gives  him  the  outdoor  exercise  he 
needs  and  takes  his  mind  off  the 
troubles  of  bulb  merchants. 

J.  8.  Ricketts  has  joined  the  refriger- 
ator and  store  fixture  department  of  the 
A.  L.  Randall  Co.,  as  draftsman,  to  as- 
sist W.  Abrahamson. 

C,  L.  Washburn  says  he  is  fully  con- 
vinced that  quality  is  the  only  thing 
that  will  pay  in  the  florists'  business  in 
future.  The  records  kept  by  Bassett  & 
Washburn  show  conclusively,  he  says, 
that  the  only  varieties  that  pay  are  the 
ones  that  produce  uniformly  good  qual- 
ity. Poor  flowers  are  valueless  in  a  well 
supplied  market.  E.  B.  Washburn  has 
returned  to  the  Sierra  Madre  palm  fac-

two-thiidp  the  number  of  lilies  usually 
planted  for  this  market.  He  recom- 
mends the  purchase  of  bulbs  as  risking

ments  in  mums  crowded  the  wholesale 
market  almost  daily.  The  excellent  de- 
mand for  mums  hardly  left  an  impres- 
sion when  the  morning  sales  were  over. 
Shipping  trade  in  cut  flowers  has  in- 
creased greatly  this  season  in  this  mar- 
ket. The  wholesalers  have  plenty  of 
advance  orders  for  this  week  for  any 
flowers  that  are  in  season. 

In  anticipation  of  Thanksgiving, 
prices  went  up  on  all  cut  stock  and  a 
great  cut  was  expected  in  mums  of  all 
kinds,  as  every  grower  consigning  to 
this  market  has  doubled  his  mum  crop 
this  year.  This  week  we  noticed  fine 
blooms  of  T.  Eaton,  Golden  Wedding, 
white  and  yellow  Chadwick,  Seidewitz, 
a  fine  pink,  and  Dr.  Enguehard.  In  pom- 
pons there  are  many  and  all  varieties 
are  in  favor  this  year. 

The  rose  crop  is  off  and  hardly  enough 
came  in  last  week  to  supply  the  demand, 
according  to  our  local  growers.  The 
shortage  in  roses  will  be  large  for  this 
week.  Premier  is  having  the  call  over 
Russell  this  season,  only  that  Bussell 
is  more  plentiful.  Premier  cleans  up 
daily  and  no  doubt  our  local  growers 
will  stock  up  on  Premier  next  season 
in  place  of  Russell.  Columbia  sells 
well  for  light  pink  and  any  variety  in 
red  has  a  good  demand.  White  Killar- 
ney  is  the  only  white  to  be  had  at  pres- 
ent. Carnations  seem  off  crop  and  con- 
signments were  not  nearly  enough  for 
demands.  With  plenty  of  funeral  work, 
as  reported  by  the  retailers  last  week, 
all  light  colors  had  the  call. 

The  shortage  in  carnations  and  roses 
should  assist  the  growers  in  dispos- 
ing of  the  especially  big  crop  of  mums 
that  will  be  consigned  to  this  market 
this  week.  Violets,  too,  have  been 
somewhat  short  of  the  demand.  This 
cool,  bright  weather  should  be  beneficial 
in  producing  a  large  crop. 

Sweet  peas  are  still  in  light  supply, 
but  each  week  should  improve  the  sup- 
ply and  from  reports  of  our  local  grow- 
ers there  should  be  the  largest  crop  in 
years  this  season.  Orchids  have  been 
more  plentiful  this  week  and  the  de- 
mand good  at  $18  per  dozen.  Valley 
and  lilies  continue  scarce  in  this  mar- 
ket.    Narcissi,  both  white  and  yellow,

The  members  of  the  St.  Louis  Asso- 
ciation of  Gardeners  should  not  forget 
the  meeting  of  the  association  which 
takes  place  Wednesday  night,  Decem- 
ber 3,  at  the  municipal  greenhouses, 
5800  Oakland  avenue.  The  discussions 
on  park  management  by  Ernest  Strehle 
and  the  park  floral  displays  by  John 
Moritz  will  be  interesting  and  a  large 
attendance  is  looked  for. 

Frank  Gorly,  of  Grimm  &  Gorly,  and 
Albert  Gumz,  of  the  Windier  Wholesale 
Floral  Co.,  visited  the  county  growers 
last  week.  While  on  the  road  out  Mr. 
Gumz's  machine  got  into  a  smash-up, 
but  no  one  was  hurt.  Another  machine 
was  soon  at  hand  and  they  proceeded 
on  their  way  and  spent  a  most  pleasant 
day  among  the  growers. 

The  chrysanthemum  show  at  the  Mis- 
souri Botanical  Garden  is  now  at  its 
height  and  great  crowds  are  in  attend- 
ance daily.  After  the  mum  season,  be- 
ginning December  15,  there  will  be  an 
exhibition  of  poinsettia  plants  and  of 
the  garden's  rare  collection  of  orchids. 
This  exhibition  will  be  in  charge  of 
George  H.  Pring. 

The  St.  Louis  County  Growers'  As- 
sociation will  hold  its  last  meeting  in 
the  old  year  on  Wednesday  night,  De- 
cember 3,  at  the  Eleven  Mile  House. 
Secretary  Deutschmann  says  there  are 
some  important  matters  to  be  disposed 
of  and  he  looks  for  a  large  attendance. 

Visitors  last  week  were  Adolph  Niel- 
sen, of  Pana,  111.;  Mr.  Florentine,  of 
the  A.  L.  Bandall  Co.,  Chicago;  Ove 
Gnatt,  of  the  Ove  Gnatt  Co.,  La  Porte, 
Ind.;  J.  J.  Karins,  representing  Henry 
A.  Dreer,  Inc.,  Philadelphia,  and  Wil- 
liam Montgomery,  Santa  Cruz,  Cal.  All

Mrs.  N.  E.  Kelly,  of  luka,  HI.,  spent 
a  few  days  here  last  week  calling  on 
friends.  Mrs.  Kelly  reports  a  splen-

The  publicity  committee  is  placing

they  expected  their  biggest  Thanksgiv- 
ing business  this  year,  judging  from  the 
way  advance  orders  were  coming  in. 

Carr  &  Eichardson  put  in  another 
big  week  on  large  social  decorations, 
with  four  large  ones  booked  for  this 
week.     Business  is  booming  here. 

Mrs.  Smith,  bill  clerk  for  the  W.  C. 
Smith  Wholesale  Floral  Co.,  has  resigned 
her  position  and,  beginning  December  1, 
will  manage  the  store  of  the  F.  J.  Fos- 
ter Floral  Co.,  703  Olive  street.  Mrs. 
Smith  is  not  related  to  the  head  of  the 
firm  whose  service  she  is  leaving. 

Martin  Moran,  chief  clerk  in  the  seed 
department  of  the  St.  Louis  Seed  Co., 
is  back  attending  to  his  duties  after  a 
two  weeks'  lay-off  with  a  lame  arm, 
caused  by  an  attack  of  rheumatism. 

Charles  Young,  head  of  the  C.  Young 
&  Sons  Co.,  says  that  while  fall  bulbs 
were  in  heavy  supply  this  year,  the 
firm  was  so  fortunate  as  to  hav6  big 
mail  orders  which  will  clean  them  up 
well.  This  firm  is  having  the  best 
season  in  years. 

Henry  L.  Muskopf,  of  Muskopf  & 
Irish;  Charles  Fullgraf,  L.  ^aumann 
and  John  Houlihan,  landscape  garden- 
ers, say  the  fine  weather  of  late  has 
kept  them  busy  in  their  line  of  work 
and  that  this  year  business  is  far  ahead 
of  that  of  any  previous  year.

The  change  in  alleys  made  by  the

was  for  the  better,  as  great  improvement 
was  made  in  scores  at  the  bowling 
meeting  November  9.  The  Sweet  Pea 
team  again  went  down  in  defeat,  los- 
ing three  games  to  the  Daisies;  that  is 
the  ninth  straight  defeat  of  the  Sweet 
Peas  and  puts  them  in  third  place.  As 
the  Koses  won  the  odd  game  from  the 
Carnations,  these  two  teams  are  now 
tied  for  first  place,  with  the  Sweet  Peas

Various  Notes. 

George  Comley  had  a  large  decorating 
job  last  week.  He  also  reports  that  he 
has  a  large  number  of  weddings  booked 
for  this  month. 

Fred  Leapley  has  been  busy  with  fu- 
neral work  in  addition  to  several  im- 
portant   weddings.      He    has   taken    on 


more  help  in  order  to  assure  his  custom- 
ers prompt  service.  He  is  also  growing 
some  fine  ferns. 

F.  H.  Kramer's  palm  garden  is  at- 
tracting unusually  large  crowds.  It  is 
highly  spoken  of  by  all  of  the  florists 
as  well  as  by  its  many  patrons. 

George  Shaffer  had  two  important 
weddings  November  22.  They  included 
a  large  amount  of  decorating  work  at 
the  homes  and  churches.

John  Sharper  is  catting  some  fine 
mums.  Some  of  the  finest  mums  on  the 
market  come  from  his  range. 

The  Louise  Flower  Shop  had  a  num- 
ber of  important  weddings  last  week 
and  it  also  has  had  several  large  casket 
covers  of  late.  Miss  Daugherty,  of  the 
Louise  Flower  Shop,  has  been  receiving 
many  compliments  on  the  quality  of  her 
work  at  the  British  embassy  during  the 
visit  of  the  Prince  of  Wales. 

The  Leo  Niessen  Co.  was  busy  last 
week  with  out-of-town  orders.  It  re- 
ports a  good  increase  in  business.

The  Market. 

Last  week  the  market  showed  consid- 
erable improvement,  the  demand  being 
much  more  satisfactory  than  it  has  been 
for  some  time  previous.  While  in  some 
measure  this  was  due  to  a  rather  stren- 
uous week  of  entertainments,  including 
the  reception  of  the  Prince  of  Wales, 
the  horse  show  and  many  house  parties, 
the  fact  remains  that  the  demand  from 
trade  unaflfected  by  the  doings  of  so- 
ciety was  better  than  at  any  other  time 
this  season. 

Chrysanthemums,  which  are  in  large 
supply,  are  meeting  a  good  demand,  and 
there  is  little,  if  any,  waste.  Bonnaffon, 
Chadwick,  Eaton,  Seidewitz  and  Chief- 
tain arc  leaders  among  the  standard 
sorts  and  there  are  many  fancy  varie- 
ties, among  which  bronzes,  crimsons  and 
wine-colored  sorts  are  prominent.    Pom-

pons  and  singles  move  well,  especially 
varieties  providing  sprays  with  long 
stems,  such  as  Wilcox. 

Violets  have  again  met  a  heavy  de- 
mand, owing  to  another  football  game, 
between  Harvard  and  Yale,  and  brought 
as  much  as  $2.50  per  hundred. 

Roses  are  moving  well  and  are  of  good 
quality.  American  Beauty  is  becoming 
a  little  irregular  in  supply  and  the  price 
of  specials  last  week  reached  $75  per 
hundred.  Francis  Scott  Key  has  been 
in  good  demand,  with  really  an  insuffi- 
cient supply.  This  beautiful  rose  is  in- 
creasing in  popularity  and  in  the  near 
future    will    likely    be    more    generally 


grown.  Among  the  hybrid  teas,  Colum- 
bia, Premier  and  Prima  Donna  are  es- 
pecially fine  in  quality  and  bring  top 
prices  in  all  grades.  Bed  roses  arc 
scarce. 

Carnations  are  not  overplentiful  and 
prices  have  advanced,  the  best  Mrs.  C. 
W.  Ward  bringing  $8  per  hundred,  and 
top  grades  of  other  varieties  $6.  The 
cooler  weather  is  making  for  better 
quality,  which  will  be  welcomed. 

The  supply  of  orchids  is  short  and  the 
market  price  high  in  consequence.  Most 
of  the  available  stock  is  sold  before  ar 
rival  at  $2  and  more  for  select  flowers. 
Gardenias  are  also  short  in  supply  and

Easter  lilies  continue  in  limited  sup- 
ply; in  fact,  they  are  now  hardly  a 
commodity  and  the  supply  of  rubrums  is 
much  diminished.  There  is  suflBicient  lily 
of  the  valley  to  meet  a  small  demand, 
at  prices  ranging  from  $4  to  $20  per 
hundred.  Eetailers  generally  are  not 
pushing  valley  and  only  purchase  it 
when  needs  are  exacting.  White  bou- 
vardia,  which  all  along  has  been  used  as 
a  substitute  for  valley  in  wedding

Various  Notes. 

Among  the  important  functions  of  last 
week  was  the  dinner  at  the  Waldorf- 
Astoria  given  by  Henry  P.  Davison  in 
honor  of  the  Prince  of  Wales.  J.  H. 
Small  &  Sons  had  the  decorations,  which 
were  quite  lavish.  Among  the  cut  flow- 
ers used  were  1,000  long-stemmed  Amer- 
ican Beauty  roses.  Palms  and  decora- 
tive plants  were  used  in  great  profu- 
sion, severely  taxing  the   resources  of 


for  similar  work.     Callas  are  bringing 
$2  to  $3  per  dozen. 

There  is  an  abundance  of  Paper  White 
narcissi,  which  command  50  cents  per 
dozen  for  the  best.  Snapdragons  in 
limited  quantity  are  available  at  50 
cents  to  75  cents  per  bunch.  Stevia  is 
making  an  appearance  in  some  quanti- 
ty, but  is  too  green  to  be  inviting.  Ca- 
lendulas, sweet  peas  and  pansies  are  in 
good  supply  and  move  well.

News  of  the  death,  in  Cincinnati,  of 
Douglas  Brown,  who  for  several  years 
had  been  the  official  reporter  ©f  the  con- 
ventions of  the  S,  A.  F.  and  kindred 
organizations,  was  received  with  regret 
Saturday,  November  22,  He  had  been 
quite  ill  for  some  time  with  stomach 
trouble. 

The  Von  Tilzer  song,  "Say  It  with 
Flowers,"  was  well  received  at  the  Pal- 
ace theater  last  week.  G.  E.  M.  Stumpp, 
provided  most  of  the  flowers  and  bou- 
quets used  in  the  presentation  of  the 
piece,  and  it  made  a  hit  with  the  audi- 
ence. 

The  Brooklyn  florists  last  week  fea- 
tured "Say  It  with  Flowers"  week, 
with  liberal  advertising  in  the  local 
papers  and  gifts  to  hospitals  and 
churches. 

The  executive  committee  of  the  Amer- 
ican Rose  Society  had  a  meeting  Thurs- 
day, November  20,  at  which  cooperation 
in  the  International  Flower  Show,  to  be 
held  in  the  Grand  Central  Palace  next 
March,  was  discussed. 

Fred  Thieler,  lieutenamt  to  George 
Hildenbrand,  of  John  Young  &  Co.,  is  re- 
ceiving congratulations  on  his  marriage, 
which  occurred  November  19. 

The  New  York  Cut  Flower  Co.  is  ar- 
ranging to  install  one  of  the  "Say  It

display  one  on  the  site  he  has  at  South-

The  Market. 

Martin  Gannon  has  never  known  such 
a  Thanksgiving  since  he  has  been  in 
the  business.  That  statement  of  Mr. 
Gannon's  pretty  accurately  describes 
market  conditions  at  the  close  of  busi- 
ness on  the  Saturday  before  the  holiday. 
Flowers  are  surprisingly  scarce.  There 
ia|  enough  business  to  use  them  all  at 
pftces  that' are  advancing.  The  strength 
of  the  market  is  the  shipping  business, 
which  has  been  heavy  all  week,  carry- 
ing off  quantities  of  fine  stock.  Late 
chrysanthemums  have  done  exception- 
aHy  well.  A  large  number  are  sold  at 
$4  and  $5  per  dozen  and  a  few  even 
ati$6  per  dozen,  usually  in  fancy  values. 
Pompons  have  ascended  to  50  cents, 
75'  cents  and  even  $1  per  bunch.  Per- 
ha  )s  the  most  interesting  advance  is  in 
cii  nations,  where  the  pink  novelty,  Lad- 
dL ,  has  gone  from  $6  to  $10  at  a  bound, 
leaving  the  cream  of  the  standards  at 
the  former  figure.  There  really  seems 
no'limit  to  the  prices.  Take  the  cypripe- 
dium,  for  example.  That  modest  flower 
':a  bringing  25  cents  on  insigne  and  50 
•,ents  on  Sanderas.  Cattleya  Trianae  has 
come  and  gone  right  up  and  so  have  gar- 
denias. White  lilac  is  also  here,  with 
promise  of  staying  for  six  months. 

In  roses  it  is  noticeable  that  the  buy- 
ers want  medium-grade  flowers.  The 
fancy  stock  is  sold  out,  but  there  is  not 
the  keen  demand  for  it  that  marks  the 
demand  for  mediums. 

Beauties  have  advanced  again;  so 
have  Russell  and  Ophelia.  Wards  go 
well  and  all  the  pinks,  but  white  is 
quiet.  Eeturning  to  carnations,  white 
is  poor  stock;  so  are  Paper  Whites. 
Violets  are  popular.  There  are  a  few 
more  sweet  peas.  _^^ 

The  Question  of  Prices. 

It  chanced  that  there  were  two  lots 
of  the  late  single  chrysanthemum  Mrs. 
E.  G.  Godfrey  side  by  side  on  the  conn-

ter.  They  came  from  two  different  grow- 
ers. The  bunches  in  each  lot  contained 
exactly  six  sprays.  Yet  how  different 
was  their  appearance!  The  bunches  in 
one  lot  were  large,  with  an  abundance 
of  perfect,  well  colored,  shapely  flowers, 
borne  on  long,  strong  stems  clothed  with 
deep  green  foliage.  The  bunches  in  the 
other  lot  were  small,  the  flowers  were 
pale  and  watery  in  appearance,  the 
stems  were  short  and  rather  weak,  the 
foliage  was  meager.  The  wholesaler, 
John  Berger,  of  Berger  Bros.,  said  that 
the  first  lot  brought  75  cents  a  bunch 
and  that  the  second  lot  were  harder  to 
sell  at  three  bunches  for  $1.  Verbum 
sapient! . 

Carnation  Mrs.  O.  E.  Akehurst. 

There  were  stories  floating  about  of 
a  certain  good-looking  house  of  carna- 
tions that  were  shaping  well  for  De- 
cember.    So   it  was  with   pleasant  an- 


ticipations that  a  cordial  invitation  to 
come  and  see  was  received.  The  house 
was  all  that  could  be  desired.  It  was 
filled  with  clear,  even  plants  filled  with 
buds,  the  foliage  of  that  deep  blue  that 
suggests  perfect  health  and  is  the  col- 
oring of  the  Colorado  blue  spruce.  The 
variety,  there  was  just  one  in  that 
house,  was  evidently  not  a  cropper.  It 
was  of  the  cut-and-come-again  type  so 
satisfactory  in  winter.  It  was  an  early 
bloomer  and  it  had  good,  stout  stems. 
The  flowers  were  of  excellent  size,  fra- 
grant and  of  that  popular  shade  of  pink 
that  is  neither  light  nor  deep,  but  that 
has  life  in  the  shade.  The  variety  was 
Mrs.  C.  E.  Akehurst.  The  grower,  Emile 
H.  Geschick,  said  that  he  bought  Mrs. 
Akehurst  when  it  was  flrst  sent  out,  that 
he  bad  been  against  it  when  it  was  in 
the  field,  but  that  he  had  decided  to  take 
a  chance  and  had  benched  it  in  the 
greenhouses  when  bringing  in  his  other

of  the  plants  had  shown  disease,  but 
that  he  had  used  great  care  in  propa-

Tlie  Andorra  Nurseries. 

There  is  an  interesting  feature  of  the 
Andorra  Nurseries  that  is  not  well 
known  to  the  ordinary  visitor  who  goes 
to  see  trees  and  shrubs.  It  is  an  in- 
creasingly important  department  that  is 
now  seen  at  its  best.  This  is  the  propa- 
gating department.  It  is  located  in  a 
couple  of  small  greenhouses,  exceed- 
ingly neat  and  clean,  that  are  filled  to 
overflowing  with  nursery  stock.  The 
method  is  much  the  same  as  you  or  I 
would  use,  but  there  are  a  few  features 
of  it  that  are  interesting.  The  propa- 
gator is  extremely  skillful.  His  suc- 
cess is  attributed  to  great  care  in  the 
selection  of  the  wood.  Year  after  year 
he  successfully  roots  something  like 
ninety-five  per  cent  of  his  cuttings. 
When  they  are  rooted  and  potted  off, 
the  cuttings  are  grown  a  few  days  in 
the  greenhouse  and  then  put  outside 
in  heated  frames,  where  they  are  car- 
ried through  the  winter.  The  aim  is 
to  propagate  all  the  desirable  rare  va- 
rieties, increasing  their  number  as  rap- 
idly as  possible,  leaving  to  others  the 
varieties  that  are  grown  in  vast  quan- 
tities.

Bats. 

Nearly  every  florist  has  trouble  at 
this  season,  when  cold  weather  first  com- 
mences. The  greenhouses  and  sheds  are 
attractive  and  when  corn  and  oats  and 
bulbs  are  to  b.e  had  it  means  heaven  to 
the  rats.  How  to  get  rid  of  them  when 
busy  is  the  problem.  There  are  any 
number  of  different  ways — all  good.  The 
thing  to  do  is  to  follow  up  the  plan 
selected  systematically  until  well  rid  of 
them  and  never  to  use  bare  hands  in 
setting  the  trap  or  spreading  p-'son  on 
food.  Bats  and  mice  do  not  like  the 
smell  of  human  hands.  Use  gloves  when 
setting  a  trap.  Use  a  knife  and  fork 
when  preparing  their  food.  It  is  the 
hunter's  idea  regarding  wild  beasts 
carried  into  our  daily  life. 

Bichard  Lange,  of  Boxborough,  firmly 
believes  in  Maurer's  rat  paste.  Mr. 
Lange  says  that  he  thoroughly  cleaned 
out    his    place    when    it    was    overrun

Various  Notes. 

William  Berger  's  Sons  had  one  of  the 
handsomest  wedding  orders  of  the  sea- 
son November  22.  They  decorated  the 
church  and  the  club  house  where  the 
reception  was  held  with  chrysanthemums 
and  wild  smilax.  The  bride's  and 
maids'  bouquets  were  of  orchids  and 
ferns,  exquisite  in  their  delicacy. 

Harry  Crawford  is  now  with  the  Rob- 
ert Craig  Co.  Mr.  Crawford,  who  did 
his  bit  over  there,  has  the  best  wishes 
of  many  friends  in  his  new  position. 

Joseph  Goetter  is  sending  some  grand 
Chadwicks  to  the  Leo  Niessen  Co. 

David  Anderson,  of  Garrettford,  has 
fine  White  Killarney. 

Charles  H.  Grakelow  had  a  select  lit- 
tle lunch  party  at  the  Manufacturers' 
Club  one  day  recently.  His  guests  were 
Philip  Breitmeyer,  of  Detroit,  Commo- 
dore John  Westcott  and  Alvah  R. 
Jones. 

Edward  Reid  urges  that  florists  push 
what  their  wholesaler  advises  rather 
than  take  orders  for  flowers  that  tney 
know  are  difficult  to  obtain. 

Robert  Q.  Shoch  returned  from  the 
south  November  22,  remarking  that  he 
had  had  a  fine  trip,  and  with  a  jolly 
laugh  said  that  cotton  was  $3  a  pound. 

Leo  Niessen  announces  the  arrival 
of  white  lilac.

The  Market. 

Cut  flower  business  is  much  improved 
under  the  stimulus  of  Thanksgiving  buy- 
ing. The  market  began  to  take  a  decided 
brace  November  20  and  the  improvement 
continues  this  week.  The  Harvard-Yale 
football  game  created  a  good  demand 
for  flowers,  red  roses,  mums  and  carna- 
tions with  violets  being  given  a  decided 
boost.  Boses  are  in  much  reduced  sup- 
ply and  prices  have  advanced  sharply, 
with  short-stemmed  stock  cleaning  up  at 
$6  to  $10  per  hundred  and  a  proportion- 
ate advance  in  other  grades.  Nearly  all 
growers  are  off  crop  at  present  and  at 
this  time  it  looks  as  though  hybrid  teas 
would  realize  high  prices  for  the  holiday. 
Carnations  are  doing  much  better.  Bed 
and  crimson  flowers  made  $8  to  $10  per 
hundred  for  the  football  game  and 
present  quotations  are  $5  to  $8,  with 
fancies  higher. 

Chrysanthemums  are  cleaning  up  well 
at  from  $2  to  $6  per  dozen.  For  pom- 
pons there  is  also  an  excellent  demand. 
Bonnaffon,  White  Bonnaffon  and  Bager 
are  now  more  in  evidence  than  any  other 
varieties.  Violets  readily  sell  at  $2.50 
to  $3  per  hundred  and  are  not. in  large 
supply.  Some  nice  sweet  peas  are  com- 
ing in.    These  sell  well  at  $2  to  $3  per

Nearly  everything  in  this  line  is  higher  cost;  labor,  transportation,  etc.  How- 
ever, we  anticipate  a  good  demand  and  suggest  that  our  Florist  friends  buy 
liberally  and  early. 

Our  prices  are  exceptionally  low  for  the  quality  we  supply. 

Prices  are  net  and  subject  to  change.

Club  Meeting. 

There  was  a  large  and  enthusiastic 
attendance  at  the  meeting  of  the  Gar- 
deners' and  Florists'  Club  November  18, 
no  less  than  120  members  being  pres- 
ent. One  new  member  was  admitted. 
Exhibits  were  numerous  and  of  grand 
quality.  The  A.  N.  Pierson  Co.  had  fine 
vases  of  the  new  roses,  Crusader  and 
Pilgrim.  The  former  received  a  report 
of  merit  and  the  latter  one  of  highest 
merit.  From  the  same  exhibitors  came 
a  fine  lot  of  chrysanthemums,  including 
Barbara  Davis,  Volunteer,  Charter  Oak, 
Hilda  Canning,  Katherine  Harley, 
Frank  Wilcox,  Western  Beauty,  Helen 
Andre  and  Dusky  Maid.  Peter  Arnott, 
gardener  to  E.  S.  Webster,  had  magnifi- 
cent specimen  plants  a  yard  across  of 
Begonias  Optima,  Rosalind,  Elatior  and 
Exquisite,  awarded  a  cultural  report  of 
merit.  The  W.  W.  Edgar  Co.  showed 
Begonias  Melior,  Cincinnati,  Mrs.  Peter- 
son and  Optima.  H.  H.  Bartsch  spoke 
in  the  highest  terms  of  the  last  named 
and  considered  Melior  ahead  of  Cincin- 
nati. 

A.  Leuthy  Co.  had  a  table  of  palms, 
ferns,  begonias  and  other  plants.  W.  N. 
Craig  showed  vases  of  Chrysanthemums 
Mensa,  Godfrey's  Perfection  and  Mrs. 
Wilcox,  also  two  dishes  of  quinces.  S. 
J.  Goddard  had  vases  of  Dorner's  new- 
est seedling  carnations.  Pompon  Chrys- 
anthemum Sunshine  and  a  yellow  cosmos 
from  the  Philippines  which  proved  val- 
uable for  cutting,  Henry  Stewart  had

naught,  Actaeus  Boehrsiana,  Maudise, 
Boltonianum,  Actaeus  var.  Majestic, 
Lord  Wolmer,  Marne  var.  of  Alwyn  Har- 
rison and  unnamed  seedlings,  awarded  a 
cultural  report  of  merit.  George 
I'Ansen,  the  lecturer  of  the  evening, 
covered  two  large  tables  with  splendid 
photographs  of  unusual  and  valuable 
orchids 

Nominations  of  officers  for  1920  were 
made  as  follows:  President,  Herman 
H.  Bartsch;  vice-president,  William  H. 
Judd;  secretary,  W.  N.  Craig;  treasurer, 
S.  J.  Goddard;  executive  committee,  P. 
W.  Burke,  Andrew  Christensen,  George 
W.  Hamer,  Walter  H.  Golby,  Andrew  K. 
Rogers,  J.  P.  A.  Guerineau,  George  W. 
Butterworth,  John  L.  Hussell,  John  E. 
Ness,  Donald  B.  Sutherland  and  Harold 
A.  Ryan. 

George  I'Ansen,  orchid  grower  at  the 
celebrated  A.  C.  Burrage  estate,  Beverly 
Farms,  delivered  the  address  of  the 
evening  on  "Orchids."  Mr.  I'Ansen, 
before  coming  to  America,  had  charge 
of  noted  collections  with  such  firms  as 
Veitch's,  Low's  and  Charlesworth 's  and 
knows  his  subject  thoroughly.  He 
showed  over  100  slides,  made  by  him- 
self, of  new,  rare  and  useful  orchids.  In 
the  resultant  discussion  the  question  of 
feeding  orchids  came  up.  The  lecturer 
did  not  approve  of  anything  more  than 
rain  water  and  said  even  in  the  case  of 
terrestial  orchids,  like  calanthes,  phaius, 
cymbidiums,  etc.,  only  weak  liquid  ma- 
nure was  advisable  or  ultimate  injury 
would  result.  J.  T.  Butterworth  also 
considered  rain  water  all  the  food 
orchids  needed,  and  he  had  never  given 
stimulants  to  any  of  his  plants.  Other 
speakers  took  an  opposite  view  and  in- 
stanced remarkable  oncidiums,  dendro- 
biums  and  cattleyas  which  were  regu- 
larly   given    stimulants.

erine  Lyons;  secretary,  Miss  Susan 
Davan,  The  association  will  mutually 
benefit  the  members  and  those  who  are 
Bick  or  in  need  will  receive  special  at- 
tention. Penn's,  so  far  as  I  am  aware, 
is  the  first  flower  store  to  have  its  em- 
ployees organized  in  this  way. 

The  next  meeting  of  the  Boston  Flo- 
rists' Association  will  be  held  at  the 
Parker  House,  December  2,  when  mem- 
bers will  have  an  opportunity  to  join  in 
a  full  discussion  of  publicity  and  the 
general  problems  of  the  hour. 

Among  recent  visitors  were  John  Can- 
ning, Ardsley,  N.  Y.;  E.  J.  Cardarelli, 
Cromwell,  Conn.;  A.  A.  Rosin,  Rochester, 
N.  Y.,  and  J.  L.  Howell,  Lansing,  Mich. 
The  last  three  attended  the  club  meeting 
November   18. 

R.  G.  Chamberlain,  of  Dedham,  sailed 
for  England  for  a  three  months'  visit, 
on  the  Leyland  S.  S.  Winifredian,  No- 
vember 18. 

H.  S.  Rogers,  of  Hamlin 's,  states  that 
business  is  good  and  steadily  improving. 
Theater  trade  is  particularly  satisfac- 
tory. 

The  Boston  Cut  Flower  Co.  reports 
an  encouraging  fall  business  and  is  busy 
preparing  for  Thanksgiving  and  Christ- 
mas trade.  Edward  J.  Welch,  at  one 
time  with  Welch  Bros.  Co.,  is  now  to  be 
found  here. 

John  McFarland,  of  North  Easton, 
lost  his  brother,  George,  November  21. 
He  dropped  dead  on  the  street  in  Quincy 
near  his  home.     He  was  badly  injured

JONES,  THE  HOLLY  WREATH   NAN,  Milton,  Delaware 


The  Budlong  Eose  Co.,  of  Auburn, 
R.  I.,  is  sending  in  some  fine  Columbia, 
Stanley,  Ophelia  and  Double  White 
Killarney  roses.  A  number  of  varieties 
are  at  present  oflf  crop.  They  are  grow- 
ing one  house  of  carnations  this  season. 
Some  years  ago  they  devoted  a  large 
area  of  glass  to  them. 

B.  A.  Snyder  &  Co.  report  that  in 
spite  of  prevailing  high  prices  there  is 
a  good  demand  for  flowers.  They  antic- 
ipate a  heavy  call  for  both  Thanksgiving 
and  Christmas. 

M.  E.  Moore,  of  Arlington,  one  of  our 
largest  vegetable  growers  under  glass, 
is  installing  crude  oil  heaters.  Other 
vegetable  growers  are  seriously  consid- 
ering doing  the  same  and  so  are  a  num- 
ber of  florists. 

Some  of  the  finest  specimen  chrysan- 
themums which  have  come  in  this  season 
are  from  W.  R.  Nicholson,  Framingham. 
He  had  some  superb  crimsons  for  the 
Harvard- Yale  game,  which  realized  $12 
per  dozen,  the  highest  wholesale  price 
recorded  here  for  some  years. 

William  H.  Elliott  had  some  good 
Hadley  roses  November  21  and  22,  and 
these  sold  readily  at  $35  to  $50  per 
hundred.  He  has  had  a  most  successful 
season  with  pot  mums,  which  are  now 
Hearing  their  close. 

H.  M.  Eobinson  &  Co.  received  large 
advance  Thanksgiving  orders  and  are 
showing  an  extensive  line  of  baskets 
and  other  Christmas  material.

range  of  Amos  N.  Eohrer,  where  Ward, 
Belle  Washburn,  Matchless,  White  Won- 
der and  Supreme  carnations  are  grown, 
the  general  neatness  and  up-to-date  busi- 
ness methods  were  a  valuable  object 
lesson  for  the  visitors.  J.  Wade  Gay-

Decorative  Evergreens,  Fern  Roots,  etc.

Charles  B.  Herr,  Crystal  "White  is  giv- 
ing a  particularly  good  account  of  it- 
self. Mr.  Herr  is  not  only  a  flower 
grower  but  a  pigeon  fancier  and  has 
some  rare  varieties  of  this  bird. 

In  the  evening  forty  guests  sat  down 
to  a  bountiful  dinner  prepared  by  the 
ladies'  auxiliary  of  the  Florists'  Club 
in  the  directors'  room  of  the  Y.  M.  C.  A. 
building.  A  genuine  surprise,  particu- 
larly to  T.  J.  Nolan,  was  a  handsome 
angel  food  cake  presented  in  honor  of 
Mr.  Nolan's  birthday,  its  sixteen  can- 
dles symbolizing  his  perennial  youth. 
The  speakers  of  the  evening  were  Ar- 
thur Niessen,  of  Philadelphia,  who  dis- 
cussed "The  Outlook  of  the  Florists' 
Business,"  and  Mr.  Therkildson,  for- 
merly of  the  Burpee  Co.,  Philadelphia, 
and  now  with  the  Ayer  advertising  firm 


EVERGREENS 

If  you  are  looking  for  Galax  and  Ferns  that  are  as 
good  as  grow,  fresh  from  the  FOREST,  we  have  them. 

If  you  want  cold  storage  stock,  you  will  have  to  get 
it  elsewhere,  as  we  do  not  handle  it. 

Prices  reasonable,  give  us  a  trial  order  and  be  convinced. 

Special  attention  given  to  orders  from  retailers  and 
consumers.

It  was  decided  to  hold  the  next  meet- 
ing of  the  club  in  the  Brenneman  build-

The  decorations  for  the  dinner  were

The  Market. 

Business  was  somewhat  quiet  last 
week,  as  it  usually  is  preceding  a  holi- 
day. Stock  is  plentiful  and  mums  are 
in  perfect  condition.  Roses  are  abun- 
dant enough  for  all  wants,  although  be- 
ing held  for  Christmas  trade,  and  car- 
nations are  good  and  plentiful. 

Numerous  advance  orders  were  re- 
ceived for  Thanksgiving  and  florists  pre- 
pared for  a  big  day.  Ordinarily  this 
is  not  much  of  a  flower  day,  but  local 
dealers  have  succeeded  in  making  the 
principal  holidays  amount  to  more  in  a 
business  way  each  year.  A  great  many 
dinner  parties  and  dances  had  been  ar- 
ranged and  even  the  informal  home 
dinner  now  calls  for  a  few  flowers  on 
that  day. 

Preparations  for  Christmas  are  also 
well  under  way.    Wreaths  and  baskets

Various  Notes. 

Thomas  J.  Cane  is  now  able  to  be 
about  and  attend  to  business,  after  a 
long  siege  of  illness. 

Miss  J.  E.  Murray  had  earlier  Thanks- 


giving orders   this   year   than   ever   be- 
fore. 

The  Muehlebach  Flower  Shop  had 
several  parties  last  week  and  has  sev- 
eral scheduled  for  this  week.  Hugo 
Neff,  manager,  says  he  has  had  heavy 
sales  of  strawflowers  as  well  as  of-  reg- 
ular  stock.

The  Big  Day  of 


Week 


The  Florists  Association,  of  Boston  have  set  aside  this  week  as  a  special 
floral  week,  particularly  emphasizinj;  Tuesday,  Nov.  11th,  as  "Armistice  Day." 

The  joyful  occasion  which  this  first  anniversary  celebrates  can  best  be 
expressed  with  flowers. 

Flowers  in  the  home,  floral  gifts  to  war  heroes,  floral  remembrances  to 
mothers  and  sweethearts  and  those  who  "kept  the  home  fires  burning"  —  all 
form  a  part  of  the  observances  for  this  day  and  all  of  next  week. 

The  Boston  Florists  have  adopted  a  program  for  this  week,  including 
specially  arranged  displays,  in  which  Penn  the  Florist  heartily  joins. 

See  our  "Armistice  Day"  windows.  Flowers  ordered  from  Penn  this 
week  (as  at  all  times)  mean  the  choicest  and  freshest  selections  that  the  growers 
can  produce. 


Penn's  Flowers  are  known  and  appreciated 
by  every  Newspaper  Reader  in  Boston

Choice  Flowers  and  Protnot  Service. 

Hcity  campaign.  The  legion  of  florists 
in  our  own  United  States  who  have  not 
yet  subscribed  to  the  fund  should,  to 
use  a  slang  expression,  sit  up  and  take 
notice — then  sit  down  and  write  their 
checks  for  the  contributions  which, 
surely,  they  intend  to  make.  There  is 
no  room  for  doubt  as  to  the  beneficial 
effect  of  our  campaign.  A  year  or  more 
ago  some  might  have  been  of  the  opinion 
that  a  shortage  in  production  of  flowers, 
through  lack  of  fuel  and  war  conditions, 
was  the  cause  for  a  general  clean-up  of 
market  stock  at  inflated  prices.  Such 
conditions  have  long  since  passed,  but 
today  we  find  the  markets  cleaning  up 
as  never  before,  in  spite  of  increased 
values.  Why?  Simply  this,  the  public  is 
buying  more  flowers.  Flowers  are  going 
regularly  into  homes  where  before  their 
use  was  only  occasional.     Anniversaries

are  being  more  generally  remembered 
with  the  "Say  It  with  Flowers"  spirit. 
The  sick  are  being  cheered  with  bright 
flowers  continually  and  the  sending  of 
flowers  to  hospitals  is  now  practiced  on 
a  much  larger  scale.  New  uses  for  flow- 
ers are  being  suggested  every  day  and 
the  florists  are  reaping  the  benefit  aris- 
ing from  the  new  demand.  The  glut 
point  in  our  markets  is  no  longer  a 
dread;  the  ash  barrel  has  become  a  poor 
customer  indeed.  If  our  campaign  is 
not  in  great  measure  responsible  for  this 
change,  what  is?  Our  committees  have 
gone  the  limit  with  their  resources.  To 
continue  the  work  means  that  we  must 
have  more  support.  We  cannot  expect 
the  liberal-minded  men  who  have  con- 
tributed to  bring  our  work  thus  far  to 
shoulder  more  of  the  expense,  even 
though  some  may  be  willing  to  do  so. 
Our    committee    is    now    urgently    in

In  the  Theaters. 

The  Von  Tilzer  song,  "Say  It  with 
Flowers,"  has  proved  to  be  a  hit  at 
the  theaters  where  it  has  been  present- 
ed. In  new  York  last  week,  at  the  Pal- 
ace, crowded  houses  greeted  it,  and  it 
became  quite  a  feature  as  rendered  by 
Miss  Grace  LaRue.  The  setting  of  the 
song  was  helped  by  local  florists,  who 
supplied  flowers  and  gave  other  assist- 
ance. In  Cleveland,  where  Miss  Frances 
Kennedy  exploited  the  song,  about  200 
florists  attended  the  theater  on  the  first 
evening  and  they  supplied  about  1,500 
corsage  bouquets  for  the  ladies  in  the 
audience  as  souvenirs  and,  besides,  used 
banners  on  their  delivery  wagons  and 
special  window  trims.  Chicago  also  pre- 
pared to  give  the  song  presentation 
every  support.  In  the  weeks  of  Decem- 
ber 7,  14  and  22,  Louisville,  Ky.;  Cin-

ARE  YOU  LOYAL? 

Some  women 's  idea  of  a  good  husband 
is  one  who  can  carve  without  getting 
spots  on  the  tablecloth.  It  reminds  me 
of  the  florist  who  thinks  he  is  doing  his 
duty  when  he  helps  along  a  local  pub- 
licity fund  and  forgets  the  national  cam- 
paign, which  is  helping  all  local  cam- 
paigns, but  depends  wholly  on  florists 
generally  for  its  support.     And  it  will

display  its  true  worth  if  you  will  con- 
tinue in  its  support. 

Your  committee  has  many  important 
plans  in  store  for  further  success,  pro- 
vided the  funds  can  be  furnished,  which 
will  raise  the  standard  of  the  slogan, 
"Say  It  with  Flowers,"  to  a  still  higher 
level. 

Many  a  man  complains  that  things 
are  not  coming  his  way  when  it  is  really 
the  fault  of  his  way. 

This  publicity  campaign  ought  to  put 
you  on  the  way  to  doing  things,  so  that 
all  will  continue  in  the  prosperity,  if  we 
may  call  it  such,  that  other  lines  are 
having.  And  if  you  analyze  these  par- 
ticular lines  you*^  will  find  advertising 
plays  an  important  function  toward  that 
end. 

Now,  if  it  is  good  for  all  other  com- 
modities, who  will  deny  its  application

up  by  frost.  As  is  usually  the  case  at 
this  time,  the  market  last  week  was 
short  on  all  lines  of  stock.  There  had 
been  a  large  quantity  of  the  poorer  out- 
door mums  used  in  the  cheaper  grades 
of  funeral  work  and,  as  the  demand  for 
this  grade  of  work  holds  strong,  other 
stock  had  to  be  used.  This  kept  the 
commission  houses  well  cleaned  up. 
Much  complaint  is  heard  of  the  inabil- 
ity to  get  medium-sized  stock  in  mums 
again  this  season;  it  would  seem  that 
there  should  be  more  of  these  grown,  as 
experience  has  proved  that  there  is  al- 
ways a  good  demand  for  stock  that  will 
sell  at  from  $10  to  $15  per  hundred.    In

fact,  since  I  have  been  watching  the 
market   the   supply  has   never  equaled 
the  demand,  and  there  is  no  doubt  that 
they  pay  as  well  as  the  larger  varieties. 
There  is  a  fine  supply  of  the  larger  sizes 
to  be  had  and  these  clean  up  well  each 
day. 

Roses,   while  not   so  plentiful,  have 
taken  a  jump  in  price.  Short  white  stock 
was   at    a   premium   the   early   part   of 
last  week.     Long-stemmed  stock  of  all 
varieties  was  only   in  fair  supplj^  and 
cleaned  up  well.    Carnations  are  in  the 
same  class  with  roses;  those  coming  to 
the  market  are  of  good  quality  and  the 
supply  is  such  that  there  has  been  no 
congestion.     Sweet  peas  are  still  short, 
but  what  are  coming  are  of  good  qual- 
ity.    Violets  are  to  be  had,  but,  like 
other  winter  stock,  are  hardly  counted 
a  factor  in  the  market  as  yet.     Snap- 
dragons are  in  the  same  class  and,  per- 
haps because  of  their  scarcity,  the  de- 
mand seems  larger.    I  mean  by  this  that 
when  one  wants  them  for  a  special  pur- 
pose,   he    inquires    for    them    at    every 
available  place,  which  gives  the  erro-

possessed  by  the  retailer  in  times  of 
emergency.  Mr.  Fiedler  has  had  heavy 
funeral  work  to  contend  with,  so  much, 
in  fact,  that  at  times  it  was  impossible 
to  secure  sufficient  stock.  Yet  orders 
had  to  be  taken  care  of  and  it  was  neces- 
sary to  educate  his  patrons  along  such 
lines  that  he  would  be  able  to  procure 
the  stock  to  fill  their  wants.  For  in- 
stance, one  morning  last  week  he  had 
twelve  dozen  mums,  which  cost  him  $4 
or  $5  per  dozen  wholesale.  These,  of 
course,  had  to  be  made  into  sprays  and 
helped  him  out  on  his  design  work.  But 
the  public  in  South  Baltimore  has  plenty 
of  confidence  in  Albert  Fiedler  and  a 
suggestion  from  him  is  all  that  is  neces- 
sary.

napolis  road  is  about  to  be  started  up 
again  as  a  modern  establishment  for  pro- 
ducing cut  stock.  This  place  has  been 
closed  down  since  shortly  after  Walter 
Erdman  died.  A  Mr.  Rome,  of  Wash- 
ington, who  has  been  investing  in 
agricultural  property,  has  secured  it. 
He  has  made  arrangements  with  C.  M. 
Wagner,  who  will  manage  it  and  will 
conduct  an  up-to-date  range  for  grow- 
ing flowers.  Mr.  Wagner  has  had 
much  experience;  his  last  place  was 
with  Fred  Bauer  and  previous  to  that 
he  was  with  James  Hamilton,  of  Mount 
Washington. 

Erdman  &  Ulrich  have  a  fine  crop  of 
late  mums.  Five  houses  of  Chadwick, 
which  are  now  almost  ready  to  cut,  are 
as  fine  as  one  would  wish  to  see.  Seide- 
witz  is  to  be  seen  at  this  range  in  all 
its  glory.  This  is  a  color  that  is  always 
in  demand  and  they  have  it  as  well  done 
as  any  I  have  ever  seen.  Out  at  this 
range  they  will  have,  in  a  short  time, 
a  fine  lot  of  snapdragons.  Their  plants 
are  clean  and  in  a  good,  healthy  state. 
If  signs  do  not  fail,  they  will  have  a 
fine  cut. 

On  a  recent  visit  to  the  S.  S.  Pennock 
Co.,  I  found  the  company  had  just  re- 
ceived a  consignment  of  the  celebrated 
"58-endorsement"  variety  of  magnolia 
leaves.  This  was  the  largest  shipment 
of  these  leaves  that  I  had  ever  seen. 
I  asked  Mr.  Perry  if  the  company  was 
buying  them  in  carload  lots,  but  he  re- 
plied: "Not  quite.  The  leaves  of  the 
Dr.  H.  Dux  Co.  are  the  only  line  of  these 
we  handle;  so  we  are  getting  in  a  stock 
at  this  time  that  will  carry  us  for  a 
while." 

Mary  Johnston  has  added  to  her  fleet 
of  automobile  trucks  one  of  the  most 
attractive  cars  I  have  seen  for  a  long 
time.     It  is  a  decided   departure  from

Wednesday  afternoon,  November  19, 
with  a  luncheon  at  the  Seventh  Avenue 
hotel.  President  Ira  C.  Harper  presid- 
ed and  there  was  a  general  discussion 
on  the  two  subjects  of  "Say  It  with 
Flowers"   and  Sunday   closing. 

This  session  of  the  organization  was 
preliminary  to  a  banquet  to  be  held  at 
the  Seventh  Avenue  hotel  at  6:45  on 
the  evening  of  December  4,  when  these 
same  important  subjects  will  be  thor- 
oughly threshed  out.  A  large  attend- 
ance is  expected  at  this  meeting,  the 
majority  of  the  members  throughout 
western  Pennsylvania  having  signified 
their  intention  to  be  present. 

Various  Notes. 

With  the  resumption  of  social  activ- 
ities, Randolph  &  McClements  are  hav- 
ing the  busiest  season  in  the  history 
of  the  firm,  with  a  large  number  of  debu- 
tante teas,  receptions,  luncheons,  dinners 
and  weddings.  A  particularly  handsome 
dinner  decoration,  supervised  by  Edward 
Weaver  for  this  firm,  was  for  a  bridal 
party  and  guests  numbering  sixty  peo- 
ple at  the  old  Pitcairn  mansion,  Cairn- 
carquc,  Ellsworth  and  Amberson  ave- 
nues, Shadyside.  The  hollow  table  en- 
closed a  garden  scene,  in  the  midst  of 
which  was  a  large,  electrically  lighted 
fountain.  Maidenhair  ferns  and  gor- 
geously colored  autumn  leaves  formed 
the  groundwork,  which  was  rounded 
out  with  large  Galloway  jars  filled  with 
specimen    chrysanthemums.

rying  approximately  3,000  blooms,  which 
is  to  be  sold  for  charity.  The  plant 
was  grown  on  the  Shields  estate  of  Mrs. 
James  B.  Oliver  for  the  recent  flower 
show  of  the  Sewickley  Horticultural  So- 
ciety, but  unfortunately  matured  too 
late  for  the  exhibition.  P.  G.  Anderson, 
after  four  years'  service  in  the  British 
army,  is  now  at  work  in  Mrs.  Williams' 
store.  Prior  to  entering  the  war  Mr. 
Anderson  was  on  a  large  private  estate 
in  Scotland.  He  succeeds  Norbert  Hut- 
tinger,  who  had  returned  to  his  old  po- 
sition with  Mrs.  Williams  following  his 
discharge  from  the  navy  some  time  ago. 
Eecently,  however,  Mr.  Huttinger  de- 
cided to  try  outside  salesmanship  and 
to  this  end'has  joined  the  force  of  the 
A.  L.  Kandall  Co.,  of  Chicago. 

After  twenty-three  years  at  its  pres- 
ent location,  at  3  Graeme  place,  the  I. 
W.  Scott  Seed  Co.  is  preparing  to  move 
shortly  to  500  Liberty  avenue.  This  lat- 
ter location  is  almost  identically  the 
site  occupied  by  the  firm's  old_build- 
ing,  which  was  burned  May,  1897.

Clear,  cool  weather  with  an  occasional 

snowfall  marked  last  week  as  the  open- 
ing of  the  winter  season.    Although  the 
Victory  Loan  campaign  has  just  come 
to  a  close  and  London  with  its  60,000 
of  population  raised  $10,246,000,  there 
has  been  no  slump  in  sales.

LOWELL,  MASS. 


The  Market. 

There  was  a  good  demand  for  cut 
flowers  last  week  and  now,  since  chrys- 
anthemums are  less  plentiful  than  a  few 
weeks  ago,  there  is  no  oversupply  of 
stock.  Pompons  and  single  mums  are 
almost  gone.  Bonnaffon,  Marigold, 
Seidewitz  and  December  Gem  appear  to 
be  the  principal  varieties  at  present  and 
even  these  are  not  numerous.  Mums 
have  not  been  so  low  in  price  before 
at  any  time  this  season.  Most  growers 
in  this  district  have  been  troubled  with 
a  disease  affecting  the  variety  Seide- 
witz. In  many  cases  the  plants  have 
died  completely.  Commencing  at  the 
roots  or  the  stem  close  to  the  ground, 
the  plants  would  turn  yellow  or  black 
even  after  they  were  in  bud.  The  wet, 
cloudy  weather  may  be  the  chief  cause, 
since  the  trouble  is  greater  when  they 
are  grown  in  solid  beds  than  when  they 
are  on  benches.  This  variety  usually 
does  well  in  pots.  Ordinarily  this  is  a 
fine  bloomer. 

Business  continues  fairly  good  in  all 
lines,  especially  in  funeral  work.  There 
is  still  some  business  being  done  in 
nursery  stock.  Fall  business  this  year 
has  been  remarkably  good  for  all  kinds 
of  hardy  stock,  evergreens  being  in 
great  demand  among  ornamentals. 

Various  Notes. 

Harvey  B.  Green  recently  purchased 
a  small  nursery,  chiefly  for  the  spruce 
growing   thereon,   which   he  intends  to

use  for  his  Christmas  trade.  Mr.  Green, 
in  addition  to  his  interests  in  this  city, 
is  connected  with  a  retail  establishment 
near  the  cemetery  at  Cambridge,  Mass. 
Harvey  B.  Green  spent  three  spring 
seasons  pressing  and  gathering  flowers 
in  Palestine,  where  he  made,  with  the 
assistance  of  native  helpers,  large  col- 
lections of  wild  flowers,  twelve  varieties 
of  which  are  pressed  in  a  beautifully  ar- 
ranged book.  The  flowers  are  named 
with  the  common  and  the  botanical 
name.  With  each  flower  there  is  an 
appropriate  scriptural  verse  or  verses, 
with  an  artistic  illustration.  They  have 
found  a  ready  sale  at  50  cents  each. 
Many  thousands  of  them  have  been  dis- 
posed of.  E.  E.  E. 

CINCINNATI,  0. 


The  Market. 

Last  week  saw  a  sudden  shortening 
up  of  stock  and  most  of  the  retailers 
were  compelled  to  look  to  neighboring 
cities  to  obtain  supplies  sufficient  to 
meet  the  demand. 

Mums  are  on  the  short  side;  White 
Chadwick,  Eaton  and  Yellow  Eaton  are 
the  best  of  the  large  ones.  Pompons 
are  good,  but  not  sufficient  in  quantity 
to  supply  everyone.  Orchids  are  more 
plentiful  and  selling  well. 

The  large  number  of  debutantes  last 
week  kept  the  retailers  busy  making  up 
the  dainty  arrangements  so  attractive 
to  the  new  social  "buds." 

Varlotis  Notes. 

Que  affair  worthy  of  special  iiiention 
took  place  at  the  Country  Club,  over 
100  different  arrangements  being  noted. 
Nearly  every  florist  was  represented, 
but  most  of  the  arrangements  were  the 
work  of  Julius  Baer,  T.  W.  Ilardesty  & 
Co.,  C.  J.  Jones  and  H.   W.  Sheppard. 

Wm.  Schumann,  of  Newport,  Ky.,  an 
expert  on  poinsettias  for  Ciiristmas  use, 
says  that  his  stock  is  nearly  all  spoken 
for  and  never  looked  better.  Primula 
malacoides  is  a  specialty  with  him  and 
some  fine  cyclamens  can  be  seen  at  his 
store. 

Schumann  &  Wahlers  have  a  fine  stock 
of  ferns  and  cyclamens  for  the  holidays. 

William  Rutenschroer  has  a  fine  stock 
of  Mme.  Hecker  begonias.  Carnations 
and  mushrooms  are  also  leaders. 

Edith  Kyrk,  of  Avondale,  has  neat 
window  displays,  usually  consisting  of 
specimen  novelty  ferns  and  blooming 
plants.

awards  were  made:  T.  McDougall,  as- 
sistant to  John  W.  Evcritt,  first;  Arnold 
Gatacre,  assistant  to  Peter  Smith,  sec- 
ond; Alex.  Marshall,  assistant  to  George

LOS  ANGELES,  GAL. 


The  Market. 

There  has  been  another  sharp  rise  in 
the  price  of ,  mums  and  growers  are 
holding  their  stock  higher  than  at  any- 
time since  the  earliest  flowers  were 
over.  While  the  nights  are  cool,  the 
days  are  hot  and  it  will  be  hard  to 
keep    flowers    in    good    condition    for 


tie  while,  but  the  snow  was  drifted  into 
the  roads  up  there,  making  them  im- 
passable for  hunters  that  were  getting 
good  sport.  Other  people  could  get  by 
all  right.  The  head  of  the  Superior 
Nursery  Co.  said  he  ' '  had  a  swell  time. ' ' 
Frank  says  he  did,  too,  but  next  trip 
he  is  going  to  take  precautions  and 
have  an  extra  gas  tank  along.  About 
six  miles  is  as  far  as  any  car  can  be 
expected  to  run  without  either  tank  or

Thanksgiving.  The  stems  are  harder 
now  and  do  not  take  water  so  freely, 
which  is  also  a  disadvantage.  Carna- 
tion growers  are  also  holding  out  for 
higher  prices,  but  the  quality  of  the 
flowers  is  better.  Indoor-grown  stock 
is  scarce.  Roses  are  coming  in  nice  con- 
dition, the  foliage  clean  and  the  flowers 
of  good  substance.  Brunners  are  plen- 
tiful in  the  cheaper  grades,  but  first- 
class  stock  is  still  hard  to  get.  Sweet 
peas  are  practically  oflf  the  market,  only 
a  few  bunches  being  seen.  Orchids  are 
scarce  and  high  in  price.  All  small 
flowers  are  good  for  the  season,  owing 
to  the  early  rains  and  the  bright,  open 
weather  since.  Judging  by  the  way  in- 
quiries are  coming  in,  there  is  going  to 
be  a  great  shipping  business  for  Thanks- 
giving, wholesalers  reporting  that  their 
customers  are  already  doubling  up  on 
their  orders. 

Local  retailers  say  business  is  good 
and  that  their  customers  are  spending 
more  money  than  formerly.  Funeral 
work  of  higher  price  is  the  rule  and 
basket  and  box  trade  is  good.  Several 
large  decorations  have  been  carried  out 
that  helped  to  clean  up  a  lot  of  stock. 
Taken  altogether,  business  is  quite  sat- 
isfactory. 

Various  Notes. 

For  the  last  few  weeks  there  have 
been  a  good  number  of  prominent  men 
missing  from  their  business,  but  they 
are  returning  in  ones  and  pairs.  F. 
Lichtenberg  and  C.  Gutting  blew  in 
from  the  Owens  lake  country  the  end 
of  the  week,  with  a  big  bag  of  ducks. 
They  had  been  expected  for  quite  a  lit- 


gas  and  not  on  too  steep  a  grade  at 
that. 

At  the  Broadway  Florist  store  large 
funeral  orders  are  reported,  both  local 
and  from  out  of  town.  A  large  and 
handsome  wreath  being  delivered  caused 
a  sensation  on  Broadway  recently,  the 
piece  being  about  eight  feet  high  and 
quite  out  of  the  ordinary. 

Mrs.  W.  Clark,  wife  of  W.  Clark,  now 
with  C.  J.  Groen,  at  Montebello,  is  se- 
riously   ill    at    their    home    at    Boyle 


Heights.  At  the  time  of  writing  Mrs. 
Clark  was  feeling  a  trifle  better  and 
more  cheerful.  All  their  friends  hope 
she  is  on  the  way  to  a  speedy  and  com- 
plete recovery. 

J.  Dieterich  is  under  the  care  of  the 
doctor,  suffering  from  hemorrhage  and 
discharge  of  blood  from  nose  and  mouth. 

T.  Wright,  of  Wright's  Flower  Shop, 
has  returned  from  a  short  hunting  trip 
to  the  mountains. 

Nic  Zweifel,  formerly  of  North  Mil- 
waukee, Wis.,  is  enjoying  the  southern 
California  sunshine  and  at  the  moment 
of  writing  I  hear  that  E.  C.  Amling, 
of  Chicago,  also  called  this  morningj 

H.  R.  Richards. 


SAN  FRANCISCO,  CAL. 


The  Mai^et. 


The  market,  both  wholesale  and  re- 
tail, was  exceptionally  busy  last  week. 
Shippers  were  rushing  to  get  out  Thanks- 
giving orders,  which  were  heavy  this 
year.  The  first  of  the  late  varieties  of 
mums  are  coming  in  nicely  and  a  fair 
number  of  Wells'  Lake  Pink,  Helen 
Frick,  Col.  Appleton  and  Nonin  were 
seen  the  early  part  of  the  week.  The 
prices  are  keeping  up,  well  on  this  stock 
and,  in  addition,  the  pompons  and 
smaller  mums  are  in  good  condition,  with 
prices  rising  a  little.  The  early  varieties 
of  large  chrysanthemums,  Turners,  Bon- 
naffons,  etc.,  are  practically  gone,  the 
few  remaining  not  being  in  first-class 
shape.  The  rose  crop  is  improving  and 
a  larger  selection  is  now  available. 
Ophelia,  Columbia,  Hoosier  Beauty  and 
Ward  are  the  main  varieties  in  the  mar- 
ket. Cecile  Brunner,  too,  is  being  cut  in 
fairly  good  quantity,  but  the  crop  is  by 
no  means  at  its  largest. 

The  demand  for  greens  is  keeping  just 
iibout  one  jump  ahead  of  the  supply. 
Most  of  the  growers  are  getting  a  larger 
amount  of  this  stock  now  than  they  had 
several  weeks  ago  and  are  getting  it 
ready  for  the  holiday  season.  Eastern 
orders  continue  heavy  on  woodwardia, 
plumosus,  etc.     Kentias  are  still  rather

Searce,  but  a  number  of  local  growers 
state  that  a  good  supply  will  be  ready 
ahortly.  Boston  ferns  are  a  little  more 
plentiful  and  in  strong  demand. 

Orchids  are  reported  hard  to  get.  The 
call  for  them  in  local  retail  establish- 
ments is  far  ahead  of  the  present  sup- 
oly  and  many  substitutes  have  been  used 
on  orchid  orders.  Gardenias  are  fairly 
plentiful.  They  are  good  this  year  and 
are  bringing  good  prices.  Carnations 
were  in  better  shape  last  week  and  more 
plentiful  than  they  have  been  for  some 
time.  The  large  amount  of  funeral  work 
is  keeping  the  market  fairly  well  cleared 
of  this  stock. 

Potted  plants  are  commencing  to  ar- 
rive from  the  nurseries,  only  in  small 
numbers  as  yet,  but  growers  state  that 
they  expect  a  good  business  in  this  line 
/or  the  holidays.  Cyclamen  plants  and 
a  few  azaleas  are  the  main  varieties, 
rhe  violet  crop  is  in  fine  condition,  but 
growers  are  anxious  for  some  rain  be- 
fore Christmas.    An  enormous  quantity

of   the   flowers   is  being   shipped   right 
^°"^-  Various  Notes. 

The  United  Flower  &  Supply  Co.  is 
one  of  the  big  violet  shippers  and  a 
member  of  the  firm  said  that  this  year 
the  violet  demand  is  exceptionally  large. 
This  concern  expects  to  have  a  large  sup- 
ply of  kentias  in  soon,  as  well  as  cycla- 
men plants. 

Domoto  Bros,  are  busy  with  violets, 
the  daily  shipments  being  large.  The 
Domoto  rose  crop  is  showing  up  nicely 
and  Mr.  Domoto  is  well  pleased  with 
Premier.  He  prefers  its  productive 
quality  to  that  of  Bussell  and  says  that 
the  color  is  well  liked.  The  new  baby 
rose  grown  by  this  firm  is  much  admired 
in  San  Francisco  and  has  also  proved  its 
popularity  with  eastern  buyers,  Mr. 
Domoto  says.  He  is  of  the  opinion  that 
its  superiority  to  Cecile  Brunner  is 
shown  in  its  more  vivid  coloring,  its 
more  lasting  quality  and  its  productive- 
ness for  winter  use,  as  it  can  be  grown 
in  the  same  temperature  as  other  roses. 
The  company  also  expects  to  have  a  late 
supply  of  mums,  as  the  varieties  now 
coming  in  show  promise  of  long  bloom- 
ing. A  few  azaleas  grown  by  this  con- 
cern were  seen  in  the  market. 

Enomoto  &  Co.  received  many  large 
Thanksgiving  orders  and  Mr.  Enomoto 
states  that  the  mat  orders  are  coming 
in  splendidly. 

The  McLellan  rose  crop  is  gradually 
strengthening  and  H.  Avansino  states 
that  a  big  cut  will  be  ready  for  shipment 
next  week.  The  varieties  which  are  to 
be  cut  are  Russell,  Ophelia,  Columbia, 
Beauty,  Ward  and  Cecile  Brunner.  The 
HcLellan  depot  had  a  large  assortment 
if  mums  last  week  and  finished  the  sea- 
son's chrysanthemum  shipping  with  a 
number  of  big  Thanksgiving  orders. 

H.  Kooyman  is  back  at  his  place  of 
business  on  Bush  street,  after  a  week's 
illness.  An  attack  of  the  grip  kept  him 
confined  at  home  for  several  days,  but  he 
is   much    better    now. 

Gen.  A.  J.  Gooch  states  that  he  is  well 
satisfied  with  his  start  in  the  new  storie. 
Orders  are  coming  in  steadily  and  he 
states  that  he  is  cleaning  up  in  good 
shape  daily.  He  has  leased  another 
store,  on  St.  Anne  street,  opposite  the 
California  Flower  Market,  and  will  move 
there  immediately  after  the  holidays. 
So  far,  he  has  been  too  busy  to  use  any 
time  in  changing  the  location  of  the 
business,  but  he  feels  that  the  St.  Anne 
street  depot  will  be  an  improvement  on 
the  present  store.  Mrs.  Gooch  is  travel- 
ing through  the  east  at  present  and  is 
sending  in  numerous  orders.

J.  A.  Axell  states  that  the  shipping  is

been  obliged  to  add  another  helper  and 
looks  forward  to  a  rushed  holiday 
season. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  H.  G.  Helmer,  of  Santa

last  week. 

Mark  H.  Ebel,  of  Sacramento,  has  been

there.  A  new  Kissel  car  is  a  recent  pur-

Frank  Sarti,  who  was  connected  with 
Bosaia  Bros,  for  some  time,  was  a  visitor 
last  week. 

A  float  entirely  made  up  with  chrys- 
anthemums was  entered  in  the  San 
Mateo  county  Armistice  day  parade  by 
a  number  of  the  Colma  growers  and 
brought  forth  many  exclamations  of  ad- 
miration as  it  made  its  way  through  the 
various  towns  of  the  county. 

Podesta  &  Baldocchi  are  doing  a  large 
business  with  coming-out  parties  and 
have  made  up  a  great  many  baskets  for- 
these  affairs.  One  party  alone,  Mr. 
Baldocchi  said,  was  the  occasion  for 
orders  for  sixty  baskets.  Orchids  have 
been  popular  for  this  class  of  work,  but 
their  scarcity  has  been  somewhat  of  a 
handicap. 

Julius  teppstein,  the  St.  Francis  hotel 
florist,  was  busy  with  the  second  St. 
Francis  assembly,  for  which  chrysanthe- 
mums and  greens  were  chiefly  used.  The 
pompon  varieties  of  mums  and  roses  are 
more  popular  just  now  than  any  other 
blooms. 

The  Art  Floral  Co.  reports  plenty  of 
decorative  work.  Mr.  Matraia  states 
that  the  force  is  kept  busy  making  up 
baskets,  etc.,  in  addition  to  the  usual 
amount  of  funeral  work. 

The  MacRorie-McLaren  Co.  is  ship- 
ping a  good  deal  of  heather  from  the 
San  Mateo  county  nursery  and  Mr. 
Bertram  spoke  of  several  large  land- 
scape contracts  now  on  hand.  A  white 
and  yellow  wedding,  decorated  by  this 
firm,  was  held  at  the  Clift  hotel  last 
week.  Chrysanthemums  and  greens, 
with  a  number  of  large  palms,  were 
used. 

Bertha  Cohn  is  no  longer  connected 
with  F.  C.  Jaeger  &  Son. 

The  flower  shop  of  Miss  Eecardie  Lee 
Murray,  at  894  Geary  street,  has  been 
sold  to  Celia  Luprecht,  who  will,  for  the 
present,  conduct  it  under  the  same  name. 

The  Albert  O.  Stein  force  was  par- 
ticularly busy  last  week  with  work  for 
the  funeral  of  Anton  Schoembs,  Jr.,  a 
well  known  local  detective  who  was 
killed  while  on  duty.  M.  M.

There  is  plenty  of  good  stock  and  a

greenhouses  of  Joe  Koida  found  his  vio- 
lets blooming  in  fine  condition  outdoors. 
The  blooms  are  large,  with  long  stems 
and  good  fragrance.  The  chrysanthe- 
mums are  as  fine  as  any  we  have  seen; 
the  principal  varieties  are:  Mrs.  J.  Gib- 
son, large  pink;  Powerth,  lavender,  and 
Wm.  Rigby,  yellow. 

Martin  &  Forbes  are  showing  a  quan- 
tity of  sweet  peas  which  are  good  for 
the  first  showing.  They  also  have  a 
fine  lot  of  orchids.  Their  window  dis- 
play attracts  a  great  deal  of  attention.

The  Market. 

Stock  has  been  scarce  for  Thanks- 
giving. The  warm  weather  of  the  last 
two  weeks,  with  an  outdoor  night  tem- 
perature of  56  and  58  degrees,  helped 
to  weaken  mums  and  carnations.  Local 
mums  are  coming  in,  but  not  enough  to 
supply   the   trade   and    California  ship- 


ments continue  daily,  with  fairly  good 
stock.

The  big  Shriners'  ball  at  the  state 
armory  Tuesday  night,  November  18, 
and  the  entertainment  of  the  Prince  of 
Wales  Wednesday  at  the  Country  Club 
called  for  hundreds  of  roses  and  chrys- 
anthemums. 

Nearly  all  downtown  stores  had  fu- 
neral work  for  the  soldiers  killed  at  Cen- 
tralia,  Wash.,  by  the  I.  W.  W.  The 
mothers  of  members  of  the  coast  artil- 
lery of  this  city  sent  several  large 
pieces. 

The  Smith  Floral  Co.,  on  Broadway, 
is  altering  its  store.  Business  at  this 
store  is  good  and  stock  is  cleaned  up 
every  night.  Fred  Smith  took  a  trip 
over  to  Seattle  last  week  to  see  some 
of  his  friends  in  the  trade. 

Jos.  W.  Milton  has  returned  from  his 
trip  to  California  and  reports  a  fine

florists  in  San  Francisco  and  Los  An- 
geles. 

C.  Malmo,  of  the  Malmo  Nursery  Co.,

The  sale  of  cut  flowers  seemed  to  lag 
during  the  first  part  of  last  week, 
though  the  funeral  work  was  fairly 
heavy.  Wednesday,  however,  the  de- 
mand for  floral  pieces  was  unusually 
heavy,  the  bulk  of  which  was  shipped 
to  Centralia,  Wash.,  for  the  funerals  of 
the  soldiers  who  died  at  the  hands  of  the 
I.  W.  W.  during  a  raid  on  the  hall  of  that 
organization  on  Armistice  day.  Stock 
is  plentiful.  Local  mums  are  exception-

for   all.     Carnations    greatly    improved

last  week,  but  the  cut  of  roses  is  de- 
creasing, as  is  customary  in  this  section 
of  the  country  at  this  time  of  year. 

Various  Notes. 

The  Orpheum  Floral  Co.  has  a  fine 
showing  of  white  and  yellow  Mensa  and 
Klondyke  mums.  This  firm's  Hadley 
roses  with  long  stems  make  a  fine  show- 
ing in  its  window.  These,  with  other 
fine  stock  in  potted  plants,  such  as  cycla- 
mens, begonias,  Whitmanii  and  Boston 
ferns,  are  grown  at  the  firm 's  Woodland 
Park  estate,  which  is  operated  in  con- 
nection with  the  store.  This  firm  in 
the  near  future  will  be  known  ^s  the 
Woodland  Park  Floral  Co.  S.  Poolraan 
and  Mr.  Deitchler,  who  own  this  busi- 
ness, say  that  they  will  have  some  good 
sweet  peas  for  the  trade  at  Christmas. 
They  will  also  have  a  cut  of  about 
20,000  Maud  Dean  and  Chadwick  mums 
for  the  holidays.  George  T.  Kelley,  re- 
cently discharged  from  an  overseas 
draft  and  formerly  with  the  Bellingham 
Floral  Exchange,  has  joined  the  force 
of  the  Orpheum  Floral  Co.,  as  has  also 
a  Mr.  Potts,  of  this  city. 

Rosaia  Bros,  report  cut  flower  sales 
quiet  the  first  part  of  last  week,  but  re- 
ceived several  large  orders  for  the  sol- 
diers' funerals  in  Centralia  and  the  force 
was  kept  busy  for  the  rest  of  the  week. 
Their  large  window  display  of  cycla- 
mens attracts  much  attention  from  the 
passers-by.  Mr.  Rosaia  has  no  difiiculty 
in  selling  the  finest  specimens  at  as  high 
as  $6  and  $7,  when  made  doubly  attrac- 
tive with  mats  and  ribbons. 

The  Hollywood  Gardens  are  receiving 
ample  stock  from  the  greenhouses  to 
meet  the  demands  of  the  trade. 

The  Woodland  Flower  Shop  had  an 
unusually  heavy  demand  for  funeral  de- 
signs for  shipment  to  Centralia,  Wash. 

C.  E.  McCoy,  the  Burns  Floral  Co.  and 
Felix  Rosaia  also  received  a  goodly 
share  of  business  last  week. 

Frank  Cherunka,  of  the  Butte  Floral 
Co.,  Butte,  Mont.,  was  a  visitor  in  town 
last  week;  he  has  charge  of  the  green-

Lambert  E.  Pedersen,  of  the  West 
Queen  Ann  Floral  Co.,  visited  his  friends 
in  the  trade  last  week.  He  reports  that

November  21.  The  hotel  was  elaborate-

Hollywood  Gardens.  The  hotel  lobby 
was  decorated  with  large  fir  trees  and 
festooning  of  southern  smilax,  with  here 
and  there  large  clusters  of  Bonnaflfon 
mums.  The  mezzanine  floor  had  bas- 
kets of  yellow  mums  and  festoons  of 
southern  smilax.  The  main  dining  room 
was  transformed  into  a  ballroom;  large 
silver-colored  baskets  full  of  yellow 
mums  filled  its  spacious  windows,  while 
the  lights  were  covered  with  shades 
drawn  together  at  the  end,  to  which  was

At  the  executive  committee  meeting, 
which  was  held  November  20  at  Detroit, 
with  a  full  attendance,  it  was  decided  to 
hold  the  next  convention  of  the  Amer- 
ican Seed  Trade  Association  June  22  to 
24,  1920,  at  Milwaukee,  Wis.  A  tenta-

tion. 

There  has  been  considerable  complaint 
in  the  United  States  because  of  the  ex- 
cessive packing  charges  on  this  year's 
imports  of  Dutch  bulbs,  but  ih  England 
the  charges  are  looked  on  as  so  out  of 
reason  that  the  council  of  the  Horticul- 
tural Trades  Association  has  been  in- 
structed to  take  the  matter  up  officially 
with  the  Dutch  Bulb  Growers'  Associa- 
tion. 

The  German  government  has  taken  a 
hand  in  the  valley  pip  market.  Export  li- 
censes are  required.  The  main  object  of 
the  control  is  to  secure  the  best  possible 
prices  abroad.  The  Ministry  for  Economy 
is  guided  by  advice  it  receives  from  special 
unofficial  bureaus  which  have  been  set  up 
for  each  industry  for  the  purpose  of  mak- 
ing recommendations  to  that  ministry. 
These  bureaus  recommend  prices  which 
should  be  demanded  before  export  li- 
censes should  be  granted,  and  also  recom- 
mend the  quantities  of  various  articles  and 
material  whiQh  should  be  licensed  for  ex- 
port,

resignation  of  Howard  M.  Earl,  of  the 
J'erome  B.  Hice  Seed  Co.,  Cambridge, 
N.  Y. 

The  meeting  was  well  attended  and  in 
addition  to  the  members  there  were 
present  a  number  of  invited  guests. 
Conditions  in  general  were  discussed. 
While  there  are  shortages  in  a  number 
of  lines,  such  as  peas,  many  thought 
that  there  was  a  moderate  supply  of 
garden  seeds,  sufficient  possibly  to  take 
care  of  the  extraordinary  demand  that 
is  being  anticipated  for  next  spring's 
planting.  There  is  a  feeling  in  the 
trade  that  a  great  deal  of  gardening  will 
be  done  in  the  spring  of  1920  to  help  re- 
duce the  high  cost  of  living. 


NEBRASKA'S  SEED  CBOPS. 

Some  of  the  Nebraska  vine  seed  crops 
have  been  harvested  and  delivered, 
mostly  cucumber  and  muskmelon,  but 
not  many  of  them  are  cleaned  and  tested 
as  yet.  Most  cucumbers  are  making  fair 
yields,  but  a  few  kinds  are  small  yields, 
according  to  William  Emerson,  of  the 
Western  Seed  &  Irrigation  Co.  Musk- 
melon shows  small  to  fair  yields,  with 
only  a  few  kinds  up  to  average  yields. 
Pumpkin  and  squash  are  being  harvest- 
ed and  delivered  to  date.  The  out- 
turn is  hard  to  estimate,  but  nearly  all 
are  less  than  the  average  yields  and 
some  are  total  failures. 

Sweet,  field  and  flint  corn  are  fair 
yields,  but  nearly  all  are  less  than  aver- 
age as  to  quantity.  Quality  is  spotted, 
good  in  some  localities  and  fair  to  poor 
in  others,  on  account  of  drought  check- 
ing growth  and  late  rains  causing  sec- 
ond growth,  with  late  setting  of  ears  in 
many  cases  and  possibly  immature  ears 
in  some  crops.

needed.     The  company  plans  to  employ 
150  men. 

Following  the  resignation  last  month 
of  seven  employees  of  the  Dickinson  con- 
cern, Charles  Dickinson,  vice-president, 
placed  an  advertisement  in  the  Econo- 
mist   offering  $10,000   reward  for   evi- 


dence of  a  conspiracy  against  his  com- 
pany. The  reward  offer  expired  at  noon 
Monday,  October  27,  without  the  desired 
information.  .  i 

The  president  of  the  new  concern  is 
Charles  A.  Heath,  who  was  connected 
with  the  Albert  Dickinson  Co.  for  thir- 


ty-seven years  and  who  disposed  of  his 
stock  in  that  concern  seven  years  ago 
for  $180,000.  The  vice-presidents  are 
A.  E.  Reynolds,  of  the  Crabb,  Reynolds,

is  Harold  A.  ABbbtt,  president'  of  the 
American  Feed  Manufacturers'  Associa- 
tion, with  the  Dickinson  concern  for 
twenty-one  years.  The  treasurer  is  Arch. 

C.  Johnson,  with  the  Dickinson  concern 
twenty  years  as  a  specialist  in  field  seed. 

D.  W.  Hales,  of  the  Hales  &  Edwards 
Co.,  and  0.  U.  Snyder,  one  of  the  largest 
operators  in  feeds  and  molasses,  are  di-

HASTINGS  BUYS  1,500  ACRES. 

The  H.  6.  Hastings  Co.,  Atlanta,  6a., 
recently  purchased  four  adjoining  tracts 
of  laud  aggregating  about  1,500  acres, 
in  Clayton  county.  This  land  will  be 
used  chiefly  for  growing  seeds  and  nurs- 
ery stock  and  raising  new  plants,  with 
much  space  for  experimental  work.    The 

Purchase  is  advantageous  because  of 
oth  the  commercially  valuable  location 
and  the  good  soil  conditions.  The  tracts 
are  twenty-five  miles  from  Atlanta  and 
are  crossed  by  two  important  highways 
and  by  the  Central  of  Georgia  railroad, 
being  between  the  Lovejoy  and  Jones- 
boro  stations.  Nearly  two-thirds  of  the 
land  is  either  entirely  virgin  soil  or  at 
least  untouched  since  the  Civil  war. 


EUNDEBD'S   BIO   BULB    SALE. 

A.  E.  Kunderd,  of  Goshen,  Ind.,  re- 
ports the  sale  of  all  the  surplus  gladio- 
lus bulbs  of  his  entire  catalogue  list  for 
this  season  and  will  not  issue  a  catalogue 
for  1920.  The  sale  of  the  stock  was 
made  to  Albert  W.  Henn,  president  of 
the  National  Acme  Co.,  of  Cleveland,  O., 
for  a  consideration  of  $60,000.  This  is 
the  largest  single  gladiolus  bulb  sale  on 
record.  Mr.  Henn  is  the  owner  of  ex- 
tensive farms  near  Painesville,  O.,  where 
he  raises  the  highest-class  pedigreed 
stocks  of  farm  animals,  as  well  as  high- 
class  farm  seeds,  etc.  The  management 
of  the  bulb  and  seed  department  is  under 
the  supervision  of  Ealph  E.  Hunting- 
ton, of  Painesville,  O.,  the  well  known 
nurseryman  and  bulb   specialist. 

The  gladiolus  is  Mr.  Henn's  favorite 
flower  and  he  has  grown  most  of  the 
finest  varieties  of  the  leading  specialists 
for  years.  During  the  season  just  past 
he  grew  about  200  of  Mr.  Kunderd 's 
named  varieties,  which  were  a  revela- 
tion to  him  and  a  great  attraction  to 
tourists  on  the  main  line  of  the  National 
highway  between  Buffalo  and  Cleveland, 
not  far  from  the  Garfield  home  at  West 
Mentor,  O.  It  is  Mr.  Henn's  intention 
not  to  resell  any  of  the  bulbs  the  pres- 
ent season,  in  order  to  be  able  first  to 
grow  on  larger  quantities  to  supply  the 
demand  from  seedsmen  and  the  cata- 
logue and  nursery  trade. 

It  may  be  remarked  in  passing  that 
Painesville  is  the  home  of  the  Storrs  & 
Harrison  Co.  and  a  number  of  other  well 
known  nurseries.  In  all  about  17,000 
acres  of  nursery  stocks  are  grown  in 
this  vicinity,  making  it  perhaps  the 
largest  section  where  nursery  stock  is 
grown  in  America,  if  not  in  the  world. 

PAINESVILLE,   O. 

Fletcher  Bohlender,  of  Tippecanoe 
City,  O.,  made  a  business  visit  to  the 
many  nurseries  here  last  week. 

T.  B.  Norman  &  Sons  are  building  up 
a  high-class  trade  and  doing  an  excep- 
tionally good  business. 

C.  Merkel  &  Son  and  the  Carl  Hagen- 
burger  Co.,  of  Mentor,  O.,  have  been 
busy  shipping  plants  and  flowers  to  the 
Cleveland   market  for  the  holidays.

The  Rorists*  Review 


NOVBMBIB  27.  1919. 


The  high  prices  received  for  fruit  have 
'greatly  stimulated  the  demand  for  fruit 
trees  this  fall.  Many  nurserymen  are 
sold  out. 

The  greenhouses  of  the  Plender  Nurs- 
eries, Philadelphia,  Pa.,  for  the  last  half 
century  on  Twenty-sixth  street,  near 
Girard  avenue,  are  being  torn  down  to 
make  way  for  a  garage  building. 


OAUFOBNIANS  ELECT. 


Annual  Meeting  at  Ohlco. 

At  the  convention  of  the  California 
Association  of  Nurserymen  at  Chieo  No- 
vember 13  to  15  J.  E.  Bergtholdt,  of 
New  Castle,  was  elected  president;  H. 
A.  Hyde,  of  Watsonville,  vice-president; 
W.  R.  Wood,  of  San  Dimas,  second  vice- 
president;  L.  H.  Elmer,  of  San  Jose, 
third  vice-president;  James  Mills,  Jr., 
of  Hamilton  City,  fourth  vice-president; 
George  C.  Roeding,  of  Fresno,  fifth  vice- 
president,  and  Henry  W.  Kruckeberg, 
of  Los  Angeles,  secretary-treasurer. 

The  directors  for  the  coming  year  are 
J.  E.  Merriweather,  of  Ontario,  chair- 
man; B.  M.  Teague,  of  San  Dimas;  Leon- 
ard Coates,  of  Morganhill;  W.  T.  Kirk- 
man,  Jr.,  of  Fresno,  and  H.  J.  Shearer. 

The  next  convention  will  be  held  at 
Fresno. 

The  most  important  action  taken  by 
the  nurserymen  was  the  organization  of 
a  $100,000  corporation  to  raise  select 
nursery  stock.  A  committee  composed 
of  George  C.  Roeding,  of  Fresno;  M.  J. 
Crow,  of  Gilroy;  William  T.  Kirkman, 
J.  E.  Bergtholdt  and  H.  A.  Hyde  was 
named  to  meet  in  San  Francisco  next 
month  and  perfect  the  organization. 
The  corporation  was  the  suggestion  of 
William  T.  Kirkman,  Jr.,  the  retiring 
president. 

The  Japanese  question  came  in  for 
discussion  in  connection  with  a  tele- 
gram from  Senator  Phelan,  and  a  resolu- 
tion was  passed  urging  the  calling  of  a 
special  session  of  the  legislature  to  con- 
sider the  Japanese  question.  It  was 
pointed  out  that  Japanese  nurserymen 
are  competing  with  members  of  the  as- 
sociation. It  was  proposed  by  Senator 
Phelan  that  a  boycott  against  the  prod- 
ucts of  Japanese  labor  be  established, 
but  this  suggestion  was  not  acted  upon. 


MAHONIA  AND  THE  QUARANTINE. 

In  The  Review  of  October  30,  under 
the  head  of  Usinger's  Utterances,  men- 
tion is  made  of  Mahonia  Aquifolium  as 
a  dangerous  barberry.     As  the  natural 


habitat  of  this  shrub  is  the  Pacific  coast, 
where  it  is  highly  priced  in  landscape 
plantings,  the  writer  would  like  to 
knots-  wherein  it  is  dangerous.  Maybe 
your  correspondent  has  confounded  it 
with  Berberis  vulgaris,  the  host  of  the 
wheat  rust,  I  believe.        D.  M. — Ore. 

The  item  was  as  follows: 

L.  R.  Taft,  of  the  Michigan  Agricultural  Col- 
lege, is  looking  up  stray  plants  of  the  dangerous 
barberry,  Mahonia  Aquifolium,  In  Bay  City  and 
Saginaw,  Mich.  He  found  a  few  In  both  cities. 
Professor  Taft  says,  "The  state  of  Michigan  Is 
quickly  getting  rid  of  this  dangerous  shrub.  The 
state  department  has  the  hearty  co-operation  of 
the  people  In  this  work,  and  except  In  Isolated 
districts  the  work  Is  almost  over." 

While  mahonias  are  not  so  subject  to 
the  attack  of  the  black  stem  rust  as 
are  some  other  species  of  barberries, 
they  are  a  host  of  this  disease,  the  flow- 
ers and  fruits  in  particular  being  subject 
to  attack.  It  is  true  that  the  disease 
is  seldom  if  ever  serious  enough  to  cause 
any  great  injury  to  the  mahonia  itself, 
but  even  though  the  rusted  spots  are 
no  larger  than  the  head  of  a  pin,  the 
cluster  cups  may  contain  thousands  of 
spores  which  will  spread  the  disease  to 
the  grains  and  grasses. 

The  persons  who  assert  that  the  com- 
mon barberry  only  is  covered  by  the 
prohibitions  are  mistaken.  Last  spring 
the  Federal  Horticultural  Board  had  a 
hearing,  at  which  it  was  established 
that  certain  species  of  mahonia,  as  well 
as  about  thirty  species  of  barberry 
proper,  are  attacked  by  this  disease,  and 
at  the  recommendation  of  the  board 
Secretary  of  Agriculture  Houston  gave 
notice  of  a  quarantine  (Quarantine  No. 
38,  dated  April  15,  1919)  against  the 
movement   of  such  barberries  and  ma- 


honias from  the  eastern  and  southern 
states  into  the  north  central  states,  in 
which  an  attempt  is  being  made  to  erad- 
icate the  barberries  and  mahonias. 
The  preamble  of  the  quarantine  notice 
reads  as  follows:  "The  fact  haa  been 
determined  by  the  Secretary  of  Agricul- 
ture and  notice  is  hereby  given  that  the 
common  barberry,  Berberis  vulgaris, 
and  its  horticultural  varieties,  as  well 
as  other  species  of  berberis  and  ma- 
honia, are  capable  of  harboring  the 
black  stem  rust  of  wheat,  oats,  barley, 
rye  and  many  wild  and  cultivated 
species  of  grasses."  The  quarantine 
notice  specifically  mentions  the  follow- 
ing species  of  mahonia  as  included 
among  those  which  are  subject  to  at- 
tack: Mahonia  Aquifolium,  M.  diversi- 
folia,  M.  glauca  and  M.  repens.  This 
shows  the  opinion  of  the  experts  of 
the  Department  of  Agriculture,  who 
have  made  a  special  study  of  the  mat- 
ter. 

In  Michigan  the  law  provides  for  the 
destruction  of  Mahonia  Aquifolium 
and  such  other  species  as  are  subject  to 
the  attack  of  the  black  stem  rust.  Sev- 
eral of  the  other  states  also  have  quar- 
antines against  barberries  and  ma- 
honias. In  Illinois,  the  eradication  no- 
tice which  covers  the  common  barberry 
excludes  the  Japanese  barberry  and 
mahonias,  unless  actually  infected  with 
the  rust.

CHRISTMAS  STOCK 

CYCLAMEN  -   POINSETTIAS  -  CHRISTMAS  PEPPERS  -  FERNS 

Give  the  ordering  of  your  Cbristmap  requirements  prompt  attention.  You  will  find  good  stock  is  going  to  be  scarce  this 
year.    Our  stock  of  Cyclamen  is  the  best  and  largest  around  Philadelphia. 

The  Poinsettias  are  unusually  fine.  Many  of  our  customers  say  they  are  the  best  they  have  seen.  The  Christmas  Pep- 
pers are  beautiful,  filled  with  fruit  and  flowers.  ^i' 

When  possible  we  will  be  pleased  to  have  you  call  and  look  our  stock  over  before  purchasing.

HENRY  I.  TAUST, 


Mention  The  Review  when  yon  writt. 


varieties  are  still  available,  including 
Seidewitz,  Chadwick  in  white  and  yel- 
low, Whittier,  Minnie  Bailey,  Eaton, 
Hamburg  Late  White,  etc.  Some  good 
pompons  in  Baby,  Golden  Climax,  West- 
ern Beauty  and  Hilda  Canning  and 
anemone-flowered  varieties  are  in  the 
market.  The  great  abundance  of  pre- 
vious weeks,  however,  is  gone  and,  as  a 
consequence,  prices  are  stiffening. 

Boses  are  not  quite  so  plentiful  and 
have  been  clearing  quickly  at  prices 
ranging  from  $4  to  $16. 

Carnations  are  meeting  with  ready 
sale  and  are  in  fair  supply  at  from  $3 
to  $5.  Calla  lilies  are  available  in  lim- 
ited supply  at  $1.50  and  $2  per  dozen. 
A  few  sweet  peas  are  seen,  but  are  as 
yet  rather  rare. 
^  Potted  plants  are  good  property,  but 
the  variety  of  choice  is  rather  meager. 
Jerusalem,  cherries,  begonias,  ferns, 
chrysanthemum  plants  and  primroses 
compose  the  assortment. 

Business  has  continued  good.  Chrys- 
anthemums have  sold  unusually  well 
this  fall,  while  other  stock  has  not  suf- 
fered as  in  previous  years.  Prices  have 
been  fairly  high. 

Various  Notes. 

J.  E.  Hitz  and  David  Kelly,  of  Frank- 
lin, Ind.,  were  visitors  last  week. 

Edwin  M.  Nelson,  who  has  recently 
returned  from  France,  is  now  with  E.  E. 
Temperley. 

The  next  meeting  of  the  Indiana 
State  Florists'  Association  will  be  held 
December  9  instead  of  the  first  Tuesday 
in  the  month  as  usual.  The  Indianapolis 
party  will  go  on  the  train  leaving  at 
7:30  a.  m.  and  arriving  at  New  Albany 
about  11  o'clock. 

O.  E.  Steinkamp  attended  the  last 
meeting  of  the  Detroit  Florists'  Club, 
which  was  held  at  the  Statler  hotel,  De- 
troit. He  exhibited  Baur  &  Stein- 
kamp's  new  carnation,  Euth  Baur. 

Eolf  Zetlitz,  of  Dayton,  O.,  visited 
here  last  week. 

Guy  C.  Sharp,  of  Noblesville,  Ind.,  is 
shipping  some  good  sweet  peas  and 
chrysanthemums  into  this  market. 

Baur  &  Steinkamp  had  a  good  Thanks- 
giving cut  in  Seidewitz,  Dolly  Dimple, 
Fall  Beauty,  Hamburg  White  and  pom- 
pons and  seedlings. 

The  Indiana  State  Florists'  Associa- 
tion is  beginning  to  make  preparations 
for  the  meeting  of  the  F.  T.  D.,  which 
will  be  held  in  Indianapolis  next  Octo- 
ber. E.  E.  T.

The  Market.  J 

Trade  is  as  good  as  we  can  hope  for 
at  present,  with  stock  a  little  on  the 
decUne.  Mums  are  pretty  well  cleaned 
up;  while  there  have  been  great  quan- 
tities of  them  here,  they  have  about  all 
found  a  ready  market.  For  a  few  -days 
there  was  a  little  glut  on  the  market,  but 
outside  of  that  they  went  readily.  Car- 
nations are  arriving  in  fair  quantities, 
with  quality  good  as  a  rule;  stems  are 
getting  better. 

Boses  are  a  little  shy  at  present  and 
there  is  no  surplus  at  any  time.  Bussell 
is  improving  in  quality  and  other  varie- 
ties are  good.  The  warm  weather  of  a 
short  time  ago  brought  on  a  heavy 
cut  and  it  will  be  difficult  for  some  of 
the  growers  to  figure  out  another  crop 
for  Christmas. 

Sweet  peas  move  well,  but  there  has 
been  no  great  quantity  so  far.  Violets 
move  well  and  the  quality  is  improving 
as  the  season  advances.  Greens  are 
scarce  and  likely  to  be  increasingly  dif- 
ficult to  obtain.  There  are  some  fine 
cyclamens  to  be  had  and  they  have  been 
moving  well  considering  the  date.  There 
is  also  some  good  Primula  obconica  com- 
ing in.  It  looks  as  though  the  market 
here  will  not  have  to  depend  on  out-of- 
town  stock.  Poinsettias  are  looking 
promising  for  Christmas. 

Various  Notes. 

T.  J.  Ludwig  reports  good  business, 
with  stock  a  little  scarce. 

S.  F.  Stephens  &  Son  are  cleaning  up 
their  stock  of  mums  as  they  are  ready 
to  cut  and  it  takes  a  great  many  for  their 
cemetery  trade. 

Herman  Kropp  reports  business  good, 
especially  on  funeral  work. 

James  McEellar  was  laid  up  a  week 
with  a  touch  of  the  grip,  but  is  on  deck 
again.  He  has  with  him  now  his  brother, 
Oliver,  who  has  been  in  the  army  six 
years  on  the  Texas  border.  J.  M.

The  Market. 

When  a  market  has  to  send  out  S.  O. 
S.  calls  for  stock  during  a  chrysanthe- 
mum season,  it  is  safe  to  say  that  there 
is  something  doing,  and  the  growers 
ought  to  take  the  hint.  Such  was  the 
case  last  week — especially  the  week-end. 
The  principal  shortage  existed  in  white 
wedding  roses  and  Ophelia. 

Last  month  there  existed  a  condition 
in  the  market  which  ought  to  be  noted 
as  remarkable.  In  the  line  of  wedding 
flowers  the  trade  has  been  called  on  to 
furnish  some  costly  bouquets  to  shop 
laborers.  In  fact,  some  are  reported  to 
be  at  such  prices  that  they  would  be 
unthinkable,  even  for  the  wealthy.  It 
is  difficult  to  imagine  orchids  and  lily 
of  the  valley  at  today's  prices  for  a 
workingman 's  wedding,  yet  such  is  the 
ease. 

The  existing  shortage  is  extended  to 
all  lines  of  cut  flowers.  Chrysanthe- 
mums, pompons,  carnations,  violets  and 
narcissi  are  all  selling  clean.  Carna- 
tions have  advanced  to  $6,  narcissi  have 
lowered  to  $5  per  hundred.  In  regard 
to  narcissi  the  retailers  agree  that  it  is 
difficult  to  sell  them  above  the  $1.50 
per  dozen  mark. 

Advertisiiig. 

Much  has  been  said  and  thought  of 
our  advertising,  of  what  it  has  done, 
what  it  will  do  and  what  it  might  do. 
In  the  minds  of  those  who  have  spent 
any  amount  of  their  hard-earned  cash, 
the  word  "might"  does  not  exist,  for 
they  know  what  advertising  WILL  do, 
if  carried  on  as  started.  Our  local  chry- 
santhemum show  two  weeks  ago  im- 
pressed chrysanthemums  on  the  minds 
of  at  least  half  of  the  city's  population 
and  those  who  saw  it  did  not  only  think 
chrysanthemums,  but  talk  them.  This 
proved  a  wealth  of  advertising  for  little 
cost  to  the  trade.  Wallace  Eiss  rounded 
out  the  opinion  of  men  who  know  that 
advertising  pays  when  he  said:  "Be- 
lieve me,  boys,  if  we  go  into  this  thing 
right,  we  aren't  going  to  be  able  to 
supply  the  demand  for  flowers, and  that 
is  what  we  want — a  trade  that  wants 
more  than  we  can  furnish. "      F.  P.  A.

(Polystichaiii  coriaccnm) 

Last  season  we  sold  stock  of  this  sterling  novelty  to  more  than  300 
florists  in  the  United  States.  We  did  not  receive  a  single  complaint, 
but,  instead,  many  letters  of  commendation. 

It  is  one  of  the  most  beautiful  ferns  in  cultivation  and  undoubtedly 
the  most  valuable  one  for  cutting.  If  you  do  any  floral  work  at  all 
you  should  certainly  grow  this  fern.  It  will  prove  economical  and 
add  class  to  your  design  work.  Also  a  good  subject  for  pots,  tubs 
and  window  boxes.  A  few  thousand  strong  divisions  now  ready  at 
same  old  price:  $10.00  par  100;  25,  poatpaid,  for  $3.00.

GOLDEN  QUEEN 

A  novelty  of  distinctive  merit,  which  should  sell  on  sight.  The  deep  golden  yellow  berries,  which  are 
produced  as  profusely  as  on  the  best  red-berried  varieties,  make  a  beautiful  contrast  with  the  green  foliage 
and  red  or  green  pot  cover.     Get  some  of  these  for  your  customers  who  want  "something  different." 

We  have  a  fine  lot  of  well-berried  plants  in  5-inch  pots  at  35c  each*  or  $4<.00  per  doz.,  plus 
5  per  cent  for  packing.

fireenhoBse  Heating 

Subscribers  are  invited  to  write  the 
editor  of  this  department  with  regard  to 
any  details  of  greenhouse  heating  that 
are  not  understood.  When  information 
is  desired  regarding  the  capacity  of  boil- 
ers, or  the  amount  of  radiation  required 
for  a  greenhouse,  the  needed  temperatures 
should  be  stated  in  the  inquiry,  as  well 
as  the  amount  of  glass  in  the  side  walls, 
and  the  dimensions  and  general  arrange- 
ment of  the  greenhouses.  It  is  often  help- 
ful also  to  have  a  sketch  showing  the 
location  of  the  houses. 


IS  HE  HEATING  ECONOMICALLY? 

Will  you  kindly  tell  me  whether  or 
not  I  am  burning  too  much  coal?  The 
average  coal  consumption  in  my  houses 
is  16.65  pounds  per  square  foot  of  glass. 
Half  the  houses  ate  kept  at  a  night  tem- 
perature of  60  degrees,  the  other  half  at 
45  to  50  degrees,  with  the  outside  tem- 
perature sometimes  as  low  as  18  degrees 
below  zero.  Some  of  my  neighbors  tell 
me  I  am  burning  too  much  coal;  others 
Bay  I  am  heating  with  more  than  ordi- 
nary economy.  What  would  be  a  fair 
estimate?  F.  E.  K. — Mo. 


The  inquiry  does  not  state  the  kind  or 
quality  of  coal,  the  size  of  the  range  or 
the  condition  of  the  glazing,  all  of  which 
would  have  an  appreciable  effect  on  the 
amount  of  coal  used.  We  infer  that 
some  form  of  soft  or  bituminous  coal,  of 
the  run-of-mine  grade,  is  burned.  In 
that  case,  we  would  consider  that  the 
heating  is  fairly  economical  for  a  range 
of  not  more  than  5,000  square  feet,  using 
steam  heat.  With  hot  water  the  con- 
sumption of  coal  should  be  reduced 
twenty-five  per  cent,  and  a  slight  sav- 
ing should  also  be  made  in  larger  ranges. 

HOT  WATEB  IS  PREFERABLE. 

I  am  thinking  of  putting  up  a  green- 
house, about  25x50,  and  should  like  a 
little  advice  from  you.  My  residence  is 
26x26  and  is  heated  by  a  one-register, 

gipeless  furnace  in  the  center  of  the 
asement.  Would  it  be  practical  to  in- 
stall a  steam  or  hot  water  boiler,  ar- 
ranging it  to  take  the  place  of  the  pipe- 
less  furnace  without  changing  the  hot 
air  register  or  the  cold  air  intake?  My 
plan  would  be  to  utilize  the  heat  raaiat- 
ing  from  the  outside  of  the  furnace  for 
the  residence,  while  conducting  the 
steam  or  hot  water  to  the  greenhouse, 
which  will  be  immediately  south  of  the 
residence.  I  do  not  suppose  such  a 
boiler  would  furnish  enough  hot  air 
through  the  one  register  to  heat  the 
residence,  but  it  is  my  idea  that  this  ar- 
rangement might  be  sufficient  in  mild 
weather  and  that  a  steam  or  hot  water 
radiator  could  be  installed  for  addi- 
tional heat  in  severe  weather. 

Is  it  essential  that  a  greenhouse  run 
east  and  west,  or  would  one  of  the  size 
mentioned  be  satisfactory  if  run  north 
and  south?  On  account  of  other  build- 
ings, more  space  will  be  available  if  the 
house  is  run  north  and  south.  Which 
system,  steam  or  hot  water,  will  be 
preferable?  C.  R.  D. — Ind. 

It  will. not  be  feasible  to  use  a  steam 
or  hot  water  heater  in  the  place  of  the 

Eipeless  hot  air  furnace.  While  some 
enefit  would  be  secured  from  the  radia- 
tion furnished  by  the  outer  wall  of  the 
boiler,  it  would  not  be  more  than  the

Kroeschell  Tubeless  Boilers 


It  will  pay  you  to  consider  the  advantages  of  KROESCHELL 
BOILERS  for  Hot  Water  or  Steam  no  matter  how  large  or 
small  the  size  of  your  establishment. 

The  superiority  of  our  boilers  has  resulted  in  the  removal  and 
abolishment  of  hundreds  of  cast  iron  sectional  boilers— in  every 
instance  KROESCHELL  BOILERS  give  more  heat  with  the 
same  piping  with  less  fuel. 

KROESCHELL  BOILERS  have  no  bulky,  soot-accumulating 
surfaces— you  avoid  the  disagreeable  work  and  trouble  indis- 
pensable to  cleaning  boilers  with  complicated  and  tortuous  back 
and  forth  fire  passages.

The  high  safety  factor  of  KROESCHELL  BOILERS  eliminates 
the  danger  of  cracking  and  break-down  risks. 

Successful  greenhouse  owners  everjwhere  insist  upon  KROE- 
SCHELL BOILERS  because  they  are  dependable  and  economical 
—you  get  better  and  longer  service — you  can  reduce  your  heating 
costs  by  burning  the  cheapest  grades  of  soft  coal. 

It  is  a  sign  of  scientific  management  to  own  a  KROESCHELL 
—a  business  management  that  insures  a  responsive,  efficient 
and  profitable  heating  system. 

The  supremacy  of  KROESCHELL  BOILERS 

is   proven    by    their  countrj-wide    adoption.

Help  Save  the  "White 
Coal  of  Industry" 


The  boiling  hot  water  resulting  from  condensation  in 
your  steam  lines  is  worth  money.  You  have  paid  for 
it  in  terms  of  coal.  It  contains  valuable  heat  units. 
It  is  the  "White  Coal  of  Industry*'— it  should  not 
be  wasted. 

And  it  need  not  be  wasted.  The  Morehead  Back-to- 
Boiler  System  will  save  it  for  you  by  returning  it  to 
the  boiler  at  temperatures  as  high  as  400  degrees 
Fahrenheit.  It  reduces  coal  consumption  an  average 
of  20%.  At  the  same  time  your  steam  will  be 
"drier"  and  more  efficient;  your  production  speeded 
up  and  profits  increased. 

Write  today  for  facts  and  figures  on  what  the  More- 
head  System  will  do  in  your  plant.

equivalent  of  fifty  square  feet  of  hot 
water  radiation,  while  fully  200  square 
feet  will  be  required  to  heat  the  dwell- 
ing and  twice  as  much  will  be  needed 
in  the  greenhouse.  It  would  be  possible, 
of  course,  to  place  a  hot  water  coil  in  a 
hot  air  furnace,  but  even  this  would  not 
supply  more  than  fifty  square  feet  of 
radiation. 

Under  the  circumstances,  we  would 
leave  the  hot  air  furnace  in  place  and 
put  in  a  small  hot  water  boiler.  If  the 
greenhouse  is  to  be  heated  to  60  de- 
grees, the  boiler  should  have  a  rating  for 
600  square  feet.  In  the  greenhouse  we 
would  use  three  2%-inch  flow  pipes  and 
twelve  2-inch  returns.  In  case  a  boiler 
is  put  in  to  heat  both  residence  and 
greenhouse,  it  should  have  a  rating  of 
approximately  900  square  feet.  For 
places  of  this  size  we  prefer  hot  water 
to  steam.  While  the  house  could  be 
run  in  either  direction  without  mak- 
ing any  great  difference,  we  ordinarily 
prefer  to  have  even-span  houses  run 
north  and  south.

A  Prominent  Carnation  Grower  Says  This 
About  the  Standard  Recording  Thermometer 


ORDER  NOW 
$35.  OO 


Lancaster,  Pa. 
Standard  Thermometer  Co.,  Boston,  Mass. 

Gentlemen:  Please  send  me  25  record  plates 
like  the  enclosed  sample,  and  I  want  to  say  that 
the  machine,  bought  a  good  many  years  back, 
is  keeping  up  its  good  work  right  along.  I  think 
it  a  very  useful  adjunct  to  good  plant  growing, 
and  it  should  be  in  every  greenhouse,  as  refer- 
ence to  it  may  often  tell  what  is  wrong  with  a 
batch  of  plants.       Very  truly  yours, 

Albert  M.  Herr. 

The  actuating  element  of  the  Standard  Record- 
ing Thermometer  is  of  lamina  metal,  which,  be- 
sides being  extremely  sensitive  to  temperature 
changes,  is  practically  indestructible.  Record 
charts  are  furnished  either  daily  or  weekly,  and 
the  whole  mechanism  is  contained  in  an  attractive 
metal  case  fitted  with  lock  and  key,  which  insures 
the  record  from  being  tampered  with. 

The  clock  movement  is  of  extremely  high  grade; 
everything  about  the  instrument  is  up  to  the  high- 
est possible  standard  of  manufacture.  ..«.        t,,^

The  new  quality  of  our  product  has  more  than  doubled  our  output  in  six  months.  Our

Tlie  Market. 

Stock  was  scarce  last  week  and  ad- 
vanced in  price.  Eetailers  report  counter 
trade  fair.  Eoses  have  shortened  up 
considerably  and  it  has  been  impossible 
to  supply  large  quantities.  Carnations 
are  none  too  plentiful  and  clean  up  well 
at  $4  per  hundred.  Chrysanthemums 
are  about  cleaned  up  and  many  of  the 
varieties  used  for  Thanksgiving  in  other 
years  were  cut  two  weeks  earlier.  Pom- 
pons are  arriving  in  large  quantities  and 
are  about  the  only  flowers  to  offer  after 
the  morning  rush  is  over.  Violets  have 
been  clearing  well.  Calendulas  are 
in  demand.  Daisies,  sweet  peas  and 
other  novelties  clean  up  well.  Aspara- 
gus and  adiantum  are  in  demand.  Box- 
wood is  available  in  large  quantities.

FOBT  WAYNE,  IND. 


The  Market. 

Business  was  brisk  last  week,  with 
funeral  work  and  several  large  decora- 
tions. The  Shriners'  initiation  Friday, 
November  21,  increased  the  demand. 

Some  fine  Premier,  Columbia  and 
Shawyer  have  been  coming  in  and  bring 
prices  of  $3  to  $6  per  dozen  retail. 
Chrysanthemums  are  still  on  the  market 
and  the  demand  is  great.  Some  fine 
Dolly  Dimple  and  Mensa  mums  were  on 
the  market  last  week.  Sweet  peas,  ca- 
lendulas and  Paper  Whites  have  been 
snore  than  plentiful. 

Flower  Show. 

Last  week  the  retail  florists  held  an 
exhibition  of  flowers  such  as  Fort  Wayne 
had  never  before  seen.  It  was  held  at 
the  Anthony  hotel,  November  22  and  23. 
The  Flick  Floral  Co.  had  an  unusual 
display  of  Dolly  Dimple,  William  Turner, 
Golden  Chadwick  and  Eaton  mums. 
This  firm  featured  specially  brides' 
bouquets  and  corsages.  Many  choice 
roses  were  displayed. 

Balph  H.  Tinkham's  display  was  dis- 
tinctive. It  was  a  garden  of  flowers.  In 
the  rear  of  the  display  there  was  lattice- 
work covered  with  southern  smilax  and 
pompon  chrysanthemums.  Baskets  of 
Premier  and  Russell  roses  and  DoUy 
Dimple  and  Chadwick  chrysanthemums 
were  artistically  arranged.  One  beauti- 
ful basket  of  cattleyas  produced  a  won- 
derful effect,  together  with  the  picket 
fence,  which  was  also  covered  with 
smilax  and  mums. 

The  Doswell  Floral  Co.  featured  some 
unusual  basket  arrangements  of  chrys- 
anthemums, calendulas  and  roses.  Some 
especially  fine  Cleveland  cherry  plants 
and  poinsettias,  which  were  the  first  of 
the  season  to  be  shown  here,  were  also 
on  display. 

E.  G.  Wenninghoff  had  a  handsome 
display  of  chrysanthemums  and  snap- 
dragons. 

The  Blossom  Floral  Co.  featured  table 
decorations  and  corsages. 

A.  J.  Lanternier  &  Sons  exhibited 
some  fine  Eaton,  Tekonsha,  Mensa  and 
single  Buckingham  mums,  Richmond, 
Ophelia,  Columbia  and  Shawyer  roses 
and  excellent  cyclamen  plants. 

W.  J.  &  M.  S.  Vesey  displayed  some 
unusually  fine  Dolly  Dimple  mums  and 
cattleyas. 

Various  Notes. 

The  Shriners  held  their  initiation  in 
this  city  Friday,  November  21.  The 
florists  all  decorated  their  windows  with 
flowers  of  the  Shriners'  colors  and  dis- 
played the  Shriners'  emblem.

By  its  facility  to  absorb  carbon  dioxide,  nitro-

Dead  soils  properly  prepared  with  charcoal  have

newing by  the  addition  of  other  fertilizing 
agents  or  even  of  charcoal  itself. 

The  best  known  charcoal  for  such  purposes  is 
'OLE  PIT.  A  genuine  hearth-burned  hardwood 
charcoal,  pure,  clean  and  of  full  chemical 
Qualities.

The  Florists'  Review 


NOVEMBEB    27,    1919. 


YOU  WILL  MAKE  NO  MISTAKE 

in  placing  the  order  for  your  next  year's  greenhouses  now.  The  best 
grade  of  the  old  genuine  Louisiana  Red  Gulf  Cypress  is  scarce  and  will 
be  more  so  next  spring,  while  the  cost  of  labor  will  be  higher  than  it 
is  now. 

Our  patent  LEAK- PROOF  locked  gutter  has  proven  a  success.    If 
you  are  not  using  the  same  as  yet,  do  so  on  your  next  houses  and  we 
7 r"  '        know  we  can  add  your  name  to  our  list  of  satisfied  customers.

GREENHOUSE   MATERIAL  GREENHOUSE  HARDWARE 


KANSAS  OITT  NOTES. 

[Concluded  from  page  64 .  ] 

E.  A.  Humfeld  had  a  blanket,  4x7 
feet,  of  Ophelia  roses  and  violets,  with 
a  center  of  orchids,  for  the  funeral  of 
Mrs.  Francis  M.  Black,  November  22. 
After  tiresome  waiting  for  materials, 
Mr.  Humfeld  has  at  last  completed  three 
new  houses  near  Independence,  Mo.,  and 
they  are  now  in  running  order.  One 
house  will  be  used  for  sweet  peas,  an- 
other for  Easter  lilies,  hydrangeas  and 
ferns  and  the  third  for  sweet  peas  and 
snapdragons.  Mr.  Humfeld  is  devoting 
most  of  his  time  now  to  planting  Hol- 
land bulbs  for  indoor  growing. 

The  Pinehnrst  Floral  Co.  has  ordered 
more  glass  for  the  pot  plant  house  at 
Pleasant  Hill,  which  is  nearly  com- 
plete. This  firm  had  7,000  cyclamen 
plants  at  the  beginning  of  the  season 
and  has  sold  2,000  thus  far. 

Herman  Fisher,  of  Marysville,  Ean.; 
J.  W,  Stokes,  Springfield,  Mo.;  O.  O. 
Boston,  Tulsa,  Okla.,  and  L.  H.  Archias, 
Sedalia,  Mo.,  were  visitors  last  week. 

The  W.  L.  Eock  Flower  Co.  reports 
a  busy  week,  with  plenty  of  nice  stock 
in  the  way  of  mums,  pompons  and  anem- 
ones and  some  especially  good  plants. 
Although  roses  are  being  held  back  for 
Christmas,  there  is  a  fair  supply  of 
these  also. 

Mrs.  T.  J.  Noll  has  as  her  guest  for 
this  week  her  niece,  Miss  Doris  Dag- 
mar,  who  is  leading  woman  in  a  sketch, 
"The  Flattering  Word,"  on  the  Or- 
pheum  circuit,  playing  in  Kansas  City 
this  week. 

A.  Newell,  Samuel  Murray,  Adolph 
Mohr  and  H.  R.  Fisher  motored  from 
Kansas  City  to  Pleasant  Hill,  Mo.,  No- 
vember 21,  to  visit  the  Pinehurst  green- 
houses. 

Miss  Hayden,  of  Samuel  Murray's, 
lays  there  is  a  great  demand  for  arti- 
ficial fruit  baskets  and  baskets  of 
strawdowers.  The  fruit  is  new  here  this 
season  and  has  taken  a  great  hold  on 
the  public  fancy,  but  strawflowers,  while 
selling  in  the  past,  have  grown  in  favor 
of  late. 

Florence  L.  Gooch,  representing  Gen. 
A.  J.  Gooch,  wholesale  florist  of  San 
Francisco,  Cal.,  called  on  the  trade  last 
week. 

Henry  Kusik  &  Co.  ordered  175,000 
mums  for  Thanksgiving, 

T.  J.  Noll  &  Co.  are  receiving  choice 
lots  of  mums  from  their  growers  and 
have  a  fine  lot  of  perfect  specimens 
in  their  own  greenhouses.         J.  E,  K.

The  Market. 

Business  increased  considerably  last 
week,  there  being  a  good  demand  for 
almost  all  stock,  but  chiefly  for  chrys- 
anthemums. There  has  been  a  larger 
numbar  of  funerals  and  weddings  lately 
and  these,  with  the  social  affairs,  give 
the  florists  plenty  to  do. 

Boses  and  carnations  are  quite  plenti- 
ful and  of  good  quality.  Calendulas  are 
appearing  on  the  market.  There  are 
many  mum  pot  plants,  also  Paper  Whites 
in  pans. 

Vaiions  Notes. 

Theodore  Kuebler  has  opened  a  store 
at  420  Fourth  street.  The  opening  was 
Saturday,  November  22.  He  had  the 
store  profusely  decorated  with  mums 
and  carnations,  also  potted  mums,  be- 
gonias, Paper  Whites  and  ferns.  He 
gave  flowers  as  souvenirs.  His  store  is 
on  the  street  where  market  is  held  three 
times  a  week  and  thousands  of  people 
pass  there. 

Julius  Niednagel  &  Sons  are  cutting 
fine  large  mums,  pompons,  calendulas 
and  bouvardia. 

The  Wm.  Blackman  Floral  Co.  is  cut- 
ting roses,  carnations  and  mums.  The 
store  is  tastefully  decorated  with  plants 
and  flowers  of  various  kinds  at  all  times. 
Widter  Laut,  of  this  firm's  force,  has 
left  for  a  few  days'  fishing  at  Footes 
lake,  over  on  the  Wabash  river. 

Earl  Zeidler  has  gone  on  his  annual 
trip  as  cook  for  the  hunting  crowd  which 
goes  each  year  at  this  time.  They  went 
down  into  Louisiana  for  a  two  weeks' 
stay.  His  sons  are  taking  care  of  the 
business  and  say  that  trade  is  much  bet- 
ter than  it  was  a  week  ago.  Their  mums 
will  soon  be  gone. 

Mrs.  J.  0.  Elspermann  completed  her 
rebuilding  by  the  addition  of  a  new 
workroom  with  a  concrete  floor.  Her 
establishment  is  now  in  good  shape  for 
the  season. 

Wm.  Halbrooks  &  Son  have  planted 
their  two  houses  in  lettuce. 

The  Evansville  Nurseries  are  doing  a 
large  landscape  business  all  over  the 
dty, 

O.  8.  Smith  is  cutting  some  fine  large 
mums  and  pompons. 

Boyston  &  Fenton  have  a  batch  of 
about  2,500  Easter  Oreeting  pelargoni- 
ums for  December  delivery,  out  of  2%- 
ineh  and  3-inch  pots. 

C.  L.  Niednagel  is  cutting  fine  Ward, 
BoMelL  Premier  and  Columbia  roses.

Cut  Down  the  High  Cost  of  Heating 

With  coal  all  fired  hard  to  get  and  high  priced  as  well,  what  are  you  going  to  do  about  keeping  your 
houses  agoing  all  winter? 

You  can't  afford  to  close  up— you  don't  know  how  this  coal  situation  will  turn  out— so  what  are  you 
going  to  do? 

Oar  advice  is  to  use  Permanite. 

We  recommend  the  use  of  Permanite— the  ORIGINAL  Asbestos  Glazing  Cement— because  it  makes  and 
keeps  your  houses  absolutely  air-leak-proof,  keeps  the  heat  in  and  the  cold  out  and  in  this  way  saves  your  fuel. 

With  Permanite  on  the  job  you  can  afford  to  let  the  other  fellow  do  the  worrying— you  will  know  that 
you  are  on  the  safe  side  because  Permanite  will  keep  your  houses  snug  and  tight,  will  give  you  maximum 
efficiency  at  minimum  expense,  and  it  will  take  less  money,  time,  coal  and  labor  to  do  it. 

If  you  want  to  know  how  and  why— drop  us  a 
postal.    We  will  gladly  tell  you  more  about  it.

KNOXVTLLE,  TBNN. 


The  Market. 

With  ideal  weather  for  last  week,  busi- 
ness was  good.  There  was  a  good  sup- 
ply of  stock,  but  owing  to  the  heavy 
demand  there  has  not  been  a  surplus. 
There  are  plenty  of  chrysanthemums  for 
Thanksgiving.  Dolly  Dimple  is  now  in 
bloom  and  it  is  indeed  fine.  It  is  no 
trouble  at  all  to  get  $1  per  bloom  for 
it.  The  cut  of  roses  has  improved  won- 
derfully, but  owing  to  the  unusual  de- 
mand for  them  there  is  a  scarcity.  The 
carnation  crop  is  also  improving.  There 
is  a  good  crop  of  orchids  and  the  demand 
for  them  is  good;  they  bring  from  $1.50 
■  to  $2.50  per  bloom.  Narcissi  are  coming 
in  and  are  unusually  fine  this  season. 
Bulb  trade  remains  good,  despite  the 
lateness  of  the  season. 

Various  Notes. 

Miss  Edna  Coram,  saleslady,  at  Baum  's 
,Home  of  Flowers,  met  with  an  accident 
November  19  resulting  in  her  removal 
to  the  Eiverside  hospital  for  an  opera- 
tion. Her  left  foot  was  accidentally 
caught  in  the  closing  door  of  an  icebox, 
.  with  the  result  that  the  heel  tendon  was 
severed.  She  is  progressing  nicely,  but 
will  not  be  able  to  return  to  work  for 
some  time.  B.  E.  M.

The  Market. 

Better  business  was  reported  for  last 
week.  There  was  cohsiderable  funeral 
work,  some  wedding  work  and  an  in- 
crease in  decorations  for  social  events. 
Counter  trade  has  increased  slightly. 
The  pH*0''lif  chrysanthemums  is  still 
mtfaer'lii^h^  but  other  flowers  are  reason- 
able in  pti^e. 

VVarlous  Notes. 


A.  Strobell,  931  Broad  street,

Armstrong  Nurseries,  of  Ontario,

"We  grow  on  one  acre  as 
many  plants  and  get  bet-

on  five  acres  of  land  under 
the  furrow  system."

A  Glazing  Putty 
of  Real  Value 


In  all  our  experience  and  inyestigation 
we  bad  never  found  s.  preparation  for 
bulbing  over  the  outside  of  a  greenhouse 
that  was  quite  satisfactory,  until  we  ran 
across  PERMANITE.  This  was  about 
four  years  ago .  At  that  time  we  set  about 
investigating  the  merits  of  PERMANITE 
and  proceeded  to  watch  the  results  of  its 
application  to  greenhouse  roofs. 

Last  year  we  were  entirely  convinced 
of  Its  high  quality  and  durability,  and  ac- 
cepted the  western  agency  for  the  sale  of 
these  goods. 

We  applied  PERMANITE  to  hundreds 
of  greenhouse  roofs,  over  almost  every 
part  of  the  United  States. 

The  results  obtained  were  highly  satis- 
factory indeed.  Glass  roofs  of  all  kinds, 
both  old  and  new,  were  made  water-tight 
and  air-tight,  saving  thousands  of  plants 
from  being  spoiled  by  water  dripping  on 
them  and  saving  many  hundreds  of  tons  of 
coal  by  making  the  roofs  proof  against 
the  wind  and  storms  of  winter. 

We  give  PERMANITE  our  unqualified 
endorsement  and  recommend  it  highly  for 
all  kinds  of  glazing. 

We  have  a  very  large  stock  on  hand 
in  our  warehouse  and  can  ship  imme- 
diately.

The  Florists^  Review 


Decbmbbb  4,  1919. 


The  side  truss  member  runniriK  be< 

tween  column  and  post  is  double 

bolted  to  the  gusset  plate. 


This  truss-joining  'plate  holds  'the 
four  truss  members  rigidly  in  ex- 
act place.  The  two  bolts  prevent 
any  twisting  or  turning. 


The  gable  purlins  are  fastened  to  the  gable 

rafters  by  double  angle  knees  with 

double  purlin  bolts. 


"Vibration."  "Give-and-take."  "Conie-and-go." 
call  it  what  you  will,  it's  the  very  thing  you  don't 
want  in  your  greenhouse. 

With  it  your  glass  loosens. 

Without  it,  it  doesn't. 

We  buildlthe  house  that  doesn't. 

The  2-bolt 'method  is  one  reason^why. 

You  Ican't   make  a  framing  joint'  of  two  or  more 
members,   and  make  that  joint  rigid  by  using  only 
one  bolt  on  each  side  of  the  Joint. 
No  matt/!-  how  tight  you  strew  it  up.  there  will  be 

some  "give." 

"Gives"  never  grow  less. 

We  are  dead  against  "Gives." 

Every  important  framing  joint  or  connection  on 
our  Iron  Frame  house  has  two  bolts  on  at  least  one 
side— sometimes  on  both. 


.Making  twice thenumberof  boltholes  costs  money 

Using  twice  the  number  of  bolts  costs  more  money. 

Which  would  you  rather  do.'pay  lessinioney  for  less 
bolt  holes  and  bolts  and  have  loo.sened  glass,  or 
pay  more  and  have  your  glass  stay  tight? 


Our  stay-tight  way  may  cost  a  bit  more  to  start 
with,  but  a  lot  less  to  end  with. 

The  cost  of  a  house  is  not  just  what  it  costs  to  buy. 
but  what  it  costs  to  buy.  in  addition  to  what  it 
costs  to  keep  it  bought. 


Ever  think  of  it  just  thatlway? 


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

SPECIAL  OFFER 


§ 


Dock  strikes  and  freight  embargoes  prevented  early  deliveries  of 
some  orders  we  held  for  our  customers.  A  few  canceled,  thus  depriv- 
ing themselves  of  the  opportunity  of  having  Bulbous  Stock  for  their  trade 
for  the  spring  season.  But  it  gives  us  a  chance  to  offer  a  Bargain  to  those 
who  can  still  use  a  few  Bulbs.  In  order  to  dispose  of  these  Bulbs,  which 
we  guarantee  will  be  in  first-class  condition  when  they  reach  you,  we  will 
prepay  all  charges,  with  a  special  15  per  cent  discount  on  all  orders 
mailed  us  or  sent  by  wire. 

This  offer  is  subject  to  stock  being  unsold  at  time  vre  receive  your  order.

ber, our  entire  cut  of  roses  from  245,000  plants  is  all  Home-

will  contribute  to  the  ad- 
vancement of  his  craft.  So  it  is  not 
too  much  to  expect  him  to  do  the  un- 
usual, the  startling,  the  bizzare,  in  his 
effort  to  lure  the  lucre. 

The  recent  completion  of  the  sky- 
garden  on  the  roof  of  the  Hotel  Penn- 
sylvania, New  York's  newest  and  most 
elaborate  hostelry,  lends  a  flavor  to  the 
foregoing  remarka  that  lingers  in  a  re- 
flective mind.  Time  was  when  a  florist 
could  establish  himself  in  a  street-level 
store  and  cultivate  assidu- 
ously whatever  genius  he 
had  in  arranging  window 
displays  and  making  profit 
commensurate  with  his  in- 
vestment. But  with  the  in- 
creasingly forbidding  main- 
floor  rentals  in  the  con- 
gested office  building,  hotel 
and  department  store  sec- 
tions of  the  city,  his  orien- 
tation b^omes  relatively 
complicated. 

Lure  Aloft. 

The  whole  thing  resolves 
itself  into  a  question  of  ob- 
jective. What  is  the  cali- 
ber of  the  game  he  is  after t 
If  it  is  small  fry,  his 
troubles  are  virtually  at  an 
end,  for  he  can  retire  to  a 
basement  or  an  upper  floor 
and  keep  the  wolf  from  the 
door.  If,  however,  he  is 
after  something  worth  while 
in  the  way  of  customers,  he 
finds  himself  under  the  ne- 
cessity of  maintaining  an 
elaborate  establishment  on 
the  street  level  or  of  find- 
ing an  equally  advanta- 
geous location  elsewhere. 

And  right  here  the  sky- 
garden  comes  in,  for  what 
is  more  natural  than  that 
he  should  make  capital  out 
of  his  quandary  and  retire 
to  the  roof,  where  with  a 
well  stocked  sky-garden  he 
has  every  bit  of  human 
psychology  working  for  in- 
stead of  against  him!  The 
advantage  of  light  and  fresh 


air  is  all  on  his  side.  The  lure  of  an 
always  fascinating  panorama  constantly 
draws  buyers.  In  fact,  he  is  right  on 
top  of  hundreds  of  possible  customers, 
whether  his  greenhouse  tops  a  hotel  or 
an  office  building.  Then,  too,  it  has  the 
added  attraction  in  the  eyes  of  the  big 
game  of  being  out  of  the  path  of  the 
rabble.  Moreover,  from  such  a  vantage 
point  the  attention  of  the  patrons  would 
not  be  divided  by  some  object  foreign 
to  the  main  issue. 

Sky-Oarden  Worth  Study. 

The  structure  topping  the  Hotel  Penn- 
sylvania is  worth  study,  altogether 
apart  from  the  possibilities  this  erection 
has  suggested.  The  main  greenhouse  is 
60  X  90  feet,  of  what  the  engineers  style 
the  3-hinged  arched  construction.  It 
was  figured  to  support  a  dead  weight 


Greenhouse  atop  New  York  Hotel  may  route  Retailers  Ambitions 


of  ten  pounds  per  square  foot  plus  a 
wind  pressure  of  twenty-five  pounds  per 
square  foot.  And  when  one  considers 
tnat  it  is  a  steel  and  glass  structure, 
that  it  stands  300  feet  above  the  street 
level,  that  it  passed  the  test  of  the  lynx- 
eyed  engineers  of  the  bureau  of  build- 
ings of  the  borough  of  Manhattan,  it 
seems  like  a  postulation  to  say  that  its 
builders,  the  American  Greenhouse  Mfg. 
Co.,  have  contributed  something  notable 
to  greenhouse  architecture.  The  ma' 
greenhouse  is  connected  by  a  smp'  r 
one  at  right  angles  to  it,  18  z  45,  ^d- 
ing  to  the  big  roof  garden  dinin'  oom. 
The  original  purpose  of  E.  M.  otatler, 
the  famous  hotel  proprietor,  in  erecting 
this  sky-garden  was  to  have  a  prome- 
nade for  banqueters,  a  place  where  they 
might  stroll  through  majestic  palms  and 
strange,  exotic  flowering  plants,  undis- 
turbed by  the  vulgar  noises 
of  the  street.  However,  as 
the  work  of  the  erection 
progressed,  the  plans  of  the 
hotel  management  became 
more  elaborate.  The  idea 
was  conceived  of  lighting  it 
by  electric  bulbs  in  the 
shape  and  color  of  butter- 
flies, modeled  and  tinted 
as  nearly  like  nature  as 
possible,  and  Butterfly 
Conservatory  was  suggest- 
ed as  a  most  appropriate 
name. 

Versatile  Structuro. 

Whether  the  greenhouse 
will  be  merely  a  conserva- 
tory for  the  enjoyment  of 
the  hotel's  patrons,  or 
whether  the  Hotel  Pennsyl- 
vania will  follow  the  lead 
of  a  number  of  other  hotels 
and  establish  a  florists' 
business  in  connection  with 
it,  is  not  yet  certain.  The 
opportunity,  however,  is 
there  for  some  enterprising 
florist  with  a  big  vision. 
Not  only  there,  but  every- 
where. For  in  cities,  as  on 
the  proverbial  ladder,  there 
is  always  room  at  the  top, 
and  as  everything  else  obeys 
a  natural  impulse  to  go  up 
these  days,  why  not  the 
florists?

residential  buildings  in  New  York. 
Three  large  buildings  are  now  Sunder 
construction  in  which  provision  for 
gardens  is  being  made:  Holbrook  Hall, 
at  100  West  Fifty-fifth  street;  the  Pre- 
sada,  at  50  Central  Park,  west,  and  the 
Town  House  Club,  at  the  corner  of  Cen- 
tral Park,  west,  and  Sixty-seventh 
street." 

Description  of  Greenhouse. 

There  are  two  buildings  composing 
the  greenhouse.  The  main  building 
covers  one  of  the  four  south  wings  of 
the  hotel  and  is  about  60  x  90  feet.  The 
other  building  is  18  x  45  feet  and  covers 
a  bridge  which  leads  to  the  roof-garden 
restaurant  on  the  Eighth  avenue  side 
ef  the  hotel. 

There  are  no  interior  columns  in 
either  of  the  buildings  and  the  entire 
space  is  clear  and  free.  The  height  of 
the  main  building,  from  floor  to  roof 
peak,  is  thirty  feot  and  the  height  of 
the  sides  is  twelve  feet.  The  bridge 
house  connects  into  the  curved  side  of 
the  main  building  and  is  provided  with 
a  removable  partition  at  this  point,  so 
that  it  can  be  closed  off  as  desired. 

The  walls  are  of  pressed  brick  and 
the  floor  of  red  tile.  Above  the  brick- 
work is  a  series  of  French  windows, 
glazed  with  plate-glass  and  fitted  with 
adjustable  casement  stays  that  hold 
the  Sash  in  any  position  desired.  Above 
these  are  wall  vents  glazed  with  ca- 
thedral glass  and  operated  with  me- 
chanical sash  operators. 

The  roof  is  semi-curvilinear  and  is 
glazed  with  heavy  ribbed  glass  laid  in 


for  awnings  and  draperies  for  summer 
use  and  this  framework  is  left  in  place 
during  the  winter. 

Engineering  Problems. 

The  height  of  the  site  for  the  green- 
house brought  up  the  problem  of  wind 
pressure.  The  New  York  building  de- 
partment was  consulted  as  to  their 
views  and  two  "well  known  engineering 
firms,  one  in  New  York  and  one  in  Chi- 
cago, were  asked  to  go  over  the  de- 
signs for  tho  steel  frame.  It  was  an 
easy  task  to  design  a  steel  frame  to 
carry  the  load,  but  to  get  one  that  was 
suitable  for  greenhouse  work  and  that 
would  be  light  and  attractive  was  a 
horse  of  another  color.  The  first  de- 
sign was  finally  accepted,  with  slight 
modifications.  The  steel  frame  for 
these  buildings  had  to  be  sixteen  times 
as  strong  as  the  ordinary  greenhouse 
steel  frame. 

To  meet  the  rules  of  the  city  build- 
ing department,  no  wood  could  be  used 
in  the  structure;  so  each  piece  of  wood- 
work had  to  bo  patiently  covered  with 
kalameined  metal.  The  copper  work 
for  cornice  and  drainage  work  had  to  be 
insulated  from  the  steelwork  to  prevent 
electrolysis.  The  result  of  electrolytic 
action  of  copper  •'o  steel  in  the  Atlantic 
coast  salt  air  would  be  the  quick  de- 
struction of  the  building. 

Where  the  main  conservatory  adjoins 
the  central  portion  of  the  hotel,  it  was 
not  possible  to  use  a  column  to  support 
the  roof  of  the  building.  To  carry  this 
roof  for  such  a  span  on  a  horizontal 
plane  required  a  steel   I-beam  twenty- 


Ample  Spac!  for  Storiag  Stock  is  in  this  Skyscraper  Greenhouse  60x90  feet. 


special  putty.  Ventilators  are  used  on 
the  roofs  similar  to  the  ones  in  an  or- 
dinary greenhouse  and  mechanically 
operated  from  convenient  stations.  The 
heating  system  is  a  vacuum  steam  sys- 
tem, made  up  with  radiators  and  pipe 
coils  around  the  walls. 

There  is  a  balcony  outside  of  the  main 
building  and  this  is  decorated  with 
shrubs  and  plants.  Staging  is  pro- 
vided all  around  the  sides  for  plants  in 
pots  or  beds.     Provision  has  been  made 


four    inches   wide    and    weighing   4,800 
pounds. 

The  steel  columns  used  to  support  the 
great  roof  of  the  conservatory  arc  ten 
in  number,  but  only  eight  of  these  are 
anchored  into  the  hotel  structure,  the 
other  two  being  the  end  columns,  which 
are  separately  supported.  The  eight 
columns  are  anchored  in  the  roof  of  the 
building  and  connected  with  two  24-inch 
I-beams,  having  a  total  weight  of  160 
pounds  per  foot.  The  weight  of  the  steel 


frame  in  the  big  house  is  about  150,- 
000  pounds.  .' 

Feats  in  Building. 

The  connecting  fittings  for  the  great 
arches  at  the  ridge  each  weigh  420 
pounds.  It  was  a  feat  to  get  these  up 
in  place  and  join  the  five  arches  and 
the  steel  ridge  girder  together.  The 
bolts  used  here  were  turned  to  an  ac- 
curate fit  on  an  engine  lathe  and  are 
two  inches  in  diameter.  In  some  of  the 
ridge  connections  the  metal  is  one  and 
one-half  inches  thick. 

The  only  available  means  of  getting 
material  up  on  the  roof  was  the  hotel 
elevators  and  they  could  accommodate 
nothing  over  fourteen  feet  long,  or 
weighing  over  1,100  pounds.  The  raft- 
ers called  for  a  length  of  nearly  forty- 
six  fset  and  weight  about  two  tons! 
How  could  it  be  done!  To  put  up  a 
stiff-legged  derrick  and  hoist  the  steel 
from  the  street  would  take  too  long  and 
be  too  costly  and  to  build  a  scaffold 
hoist  alongside  the  building  from  side- 
walk to  roof,  300  feet,  was  out  of  the 
question.  The  problem  was  solved  by 
moving  the  steel  shop  up  on  the  roof  and 
there  putting  all  the  necessary  pieces 
together,  fabricating  most  of  it  and 
riveting  it  into  one  rigid  frame  right  on 
the  spot.  And  so  it  was  with  the  sash- 
bars  and  the  giant  hip  rafters.  The 
tinsmith  and  his  shop  moved  to  the 
roof  and  there  he  worked  and  wrought 
until  the  building  was  done. 


BELGIAN  GLASS  PRODUCTION. 

The  inability  of  glass  manufacturers 
in  this  country  to  meet  the  present  de- 
mand has  caused  prices  to  advance  so 
that  quotations  have  lately  been  with- 
drawn in  many  cases.  Should  the  ad- 
vance in  price  continue,  importations 
of  Belgian  glass  may  become  a  factor 
in  the  market,  particularly  at  the  fa- 
vorable exchange  rates. 

All  the  window-glass  plants  in  Bel- 
gium are  now  in  full  or  partial  opera- 
tion and  production  is  proceeding  at  the 
rate  of  1,500,000  square  meters  per 
month,  as  compared  with  a  pre-war 
production  of  3,750,000  square  meters 
per  month.  Exports  have  been  resumed 
to  the  extent  of  about  10,000,000  francs 
per  month,  as  against  annual  exports  of 
about  50,000,000  francs  before  the  war. 
The  high  value  of  current  exports  is 
partly  due  to  the  fact  that  wholesale 
prices  are  from  five  to  six  times  the 
pre-war  quotations. 

Cost  of  production  is  not  an  important 
factor  at  present,  because  of  the  ex- 
tremely heavy  demand.  While  it  is 
difficult  to  estimate  the  probable  whole- 
sale prices  which  will  prevail  after 
normal  production  is  resumed,  there  is 
no  doubt  that  they  will  continue  to  ex- 
ceed greatly  the  pre-war  quotations.  At 
the  present  time  labor  costs  have  in- 
creased approximately  110  per  cent 
since  1914;  the  price  of  coal  for  the 
ovens  has  risen  about  500  per  cent  and 
other  raw  materials  have  advanced 
from  100  to  200  per  cent.  Most  of  the 
Belgian  factories  have  not  yet  adopted 
blowing  machinery  and  this  under  pres- 
ent labor  conditions  will  make  it  diffi- 
cult for  them  to  compete  with  Ameri- 
can plants.  Blowers,  who  are,  of  course, 
highly  skilled  workmen,  are  now  re- 
ceiving 950  francs  per  month  and  the 
wages  of  gatherers  and  flatteners  have 
also  been  largely  increased.

FIGHTING  FERN  FOE

FLORIDA  FERN  OATEBPILLAB. 


Devotes  Itself  to  Ferns-  Only. 

The  Florida  fern  caterpillar  is  a  na- 
tive of  Florida  and  tropical  America. 
But,  alas,  greenhouse  conditions  any- 
where are  suflBciently  tropical  to  suit  it 
to  a  nicety  and  it  makes  itself  thorough- 
ly at  home  in  northern  fern  houses, 
causing  great  loss  to  the  growers,  as 
several  of  The  Eeview's  subscribers  re- 
cently have  testified.  Ten  or  fifteen 
years  ago  it  appeared  in  large  numbers 
in  the  more  northerly  latitudes,  notably 
in  the  District  of  Columbia,  Ohio  and 
Illinois.  One  grower,  after  a  disastrous 
experience  with  the  pest,  pronounced  it 
the  fern  grower's  worst  enemy  and  ad- 
vised that  the  introduction  of  the  insect 
be  sedulously  avoided  by  using  extreme 
care  in  the  purchase  of  ferns. 

The  fern  caterpillar  seems 
to  be  fastidious  in  this  one 
respect,  that  it  usually  will 
eat  nothing  but  ferns  and 
it  prefers  the  tenderest  of 
the  leaves,  especially  the 
growing  tips  of  young 
fronds.  The  entomologists 
of  the  United  States  De- 
partment of  Agriculture  say 
that  the  depredations  of  the 
insect  "are  apparently  re- 
stricted to  ferns.'-' 


doom  the  plants  unless  the  swiftest  and 
most  effective  remedies  were  used. 

Many  experiments  have  been  tried  in 
the  effort  to  find  a  satisfactory  means 
of  combating  this  pest.  One  authority 
states  that  "the  regular  burning  of  to- 
bacco papers,  about  twenty-five  sheets 
to  a  house  30x100,  will  destroy  the  moths, 
which  fly  only  at  night. ' '  He  also  states 
that  the  same  treatment  will  kill  some 
of  the  smaller  worms,  but  that  the  larger 
ones  must  be  hand-picked. 

How  One  Firm  Conquered  It. 

Albert  C.  Oelschig,  of  Savannah,  Ga., 
related  some  weeks  ago,  in  The  Eeview, 
how  the  pest  was  completely  subdued 
by  his  firm.  "For  a  number  of  years," 
said  Mr.  Oelschig,  "we  found  it  prac- 
tically impossible  to  grow  ferns,  on  ac- 
count of  the  fern  caterpillar,  which  was 
brought  to  our  place,  we  think,  on  some 


<<f 


Its  Destructiveness. 

But  it  is  a  glutton  in  re- 
gard to  its  one  article  of 
food.  Nay,  it  is  worse  than 
a  glutton,  for  it  habitually 
"bites  off  more  than  it  can 
chew."  The  entomologists 
say  again:  "Though  not 
closely  related  to  the  true 
cutworm,  it  has  the  same 
habit  as  cutworms  of  cut- 
ting or  severing  portions  of 
the  fern  plants,  apparently 
destroying  more  than  it  re- 
quires for  food."  So  it  is 
true  to  its  name;  its  United 
States  headquarters  are  in 
Florida  and  its  food  is 
ferns. 

The  Latin  name  of  the 
insect,  according  to  government  ento- 
mologists, is  Eriopus  floridensis.  It  is 
also  known  as  Eriopus  elegantulus  and 
Callopistria  floridensis,  and  it  is  fre- 
quently referred  to  as  the  southern  fern- 
cutworm.  The  larva — that  is,  the  cater- 
pillar itself — varies  in  general  color  from 
apple  green  to  velvety  black,  and  when 
full-grown  it  is  comparatively  large  and 
conspicuous,  being  about  one  and  three- 
eighths  inches  long.  Its  parent,  the 
moth,  ia  about  half  an  inch  long  and 
has  a  wing  expanse  of  one  and  one- 
eighth  inches. 

It  is  stated  by  some  growers  that 
when  a  greenhouse  is  badly  infested 
with  this  caterpillar,  its  presence  can 
be  detected  by  means  of  a  peculiar, 
heavy,  sweetish  odor,  which  permeates 
the  entire  atmosphere  of  the  house.  But 
it  is  certain  that  so  noticeable  an  odor 
would  indicate  that  the  insects  were  ex- 
tremely numerous — so   numerous   as   to 


The  g^reatest  enemy  the 
fern  grower  has,"  is  the  way 
one  grower  characterizes  the 
Florida  fern  caterpillar.  ''One 
experience  will  satisfy  him 
that  an  ounce  of  prevention 
will  save  hundreds  of  plants  if 
used  at  the  right  time." 


Boston  ferns  obtained  from  Florida.  But 
at  length  we  discovered  a  real  remedy. 
We  found  that  we  could  clean  up  this 
pest  by  simply  spraying  with  nicotine 
extract  to  which  fish  oil  soap  had  been 
added.  Our  method  is  to  dissolve  seven 
or  eight  pounds  of  the  fish  oil  soap  in  a 
barrel  of  water.  Then,  in  diluting  the 
nicotine  to  the  proportions  prescribed 
on  the  can,  we  use  one-fourth  soapy 
water  from  the  barrel  and  three-fourths 
clear  water.  When  we  spray  this  on 
the  plants,  the  soap  makes  the  nicotine 
stick  and  it  does  the  business.  This  is 
another  case  in  which  prevention  is  bet- 
ter than  cure.  Now  we  spray  our  fern 
houses  every  week  or  ten  days,  even 
though  there  are  no  fern  caterpillars 
there.  The  spray  will  destroy  the  pests 
only  in  certain  stages  of  their  life  cycle. 
Hence,  when  a  greenhouse  is  badly  in- 
fested, repeated  applications  are  neces- 
sary to  clean  them  out," 


Several  years  ago  the  United  States 
Department  of  Agriculture,  after  con- 
ducting a  series  of  investigations  on  the 
subject,  issued  a  bulletin  which  con- 
tained a  detailed  description  of  the 
Florida  fern  caterpillar  and  suggestions 
about  the  control  of  the  pest.  The  gov- 
ernment entomologists  seemed  inclined 
to  give  their  verdict  in  favor  of  hand- 
picking,  but  added  that  fumigation  with 
hydrocyanic  acid  gas  might  be  effective 
if  properly  performed.  The  latter  form 
of  treatment,  however,  does  not  appear 
to  have  been  fully  tested. 

The  moth  of  this  pest,  says  the  gov- 
ernment bulletin,  belongs  to  a  group  of 
noctuids  in  which  the  forewings  bear  at 
the  sides,  above  the  middle,  a  project- 
ing area  or  tooth.  The  hind-wings  are 
rather  broad  and  well  rounded  at  the 
sides.  The  thorax  and  abdomen  are 
wide,  the  latter  especially  so  in  the  fe- 
male. The  color  of  the  fore- 
wings  is  pale  brown,  marked 
with  white  scales,  forming  a 
peculiar  and  attractive  pat- 
tern. The  hind  legs  are  dull 
buff,  edged  with  dusky 
brown;  the  lower  surface  is 
paler. 

Would  You  Recognize  It? 

The  larva,  or  caterpillar, 
the  bulletin  continues,  is 
slender,  with  forelegs  and 
prologs  normal  and  well  de- 
veloped. The  head  is  small, 
wider  than  long,  greenish  in 
life,  or  pale  yellow  in  in- 
flated specimens,  with  the 
V-mark  strongly  marked. 
While  this  species  is  ex- 
tremely variable  in  general 
color,  there  is  one  charac- 
teristic mark  which  extends 
transversely  across  the  an- 
terior border  of  the  thorax 
in  a  blackish  line  and 
abruptly  backward  under 
the  spiracles  to  the  second 
thoracic  segment,  and  some- 
times nearly  to  the  anal  seg- 
ment. The  thoracic  plate  is 
about  twice  as  wide  as  long, 
and  not  strongly  marked. 
The  general  color  varies  from  yellow 
to  bright  green  to  dark,  nearly  black. 
In  the  palest  form  the  thoracic  border 
may  extend  nearly  to  the  third  joint  of 
the  thorax  and  then  cease,  or  reappear 
in  short,  longitudinal  dashes  just  below 
each  spiracle.  In  the  forms  which  are  a 
little  darker  these  lines  are  more  pro- 
nounced, and  similar  transverse  dashes 
mark  the  dorsal  surface  of  the  last  three 
abdominal  segments.  In  the  more  strong- 
ly marked  form,  these  transverse  bands 
are  of  a  maroon  color  and  quite  conspic- 
uous. In  most  forms,  and  especially  in 
the  dark  ones,  there  is  a  conspicuous 
longitudinal  white  line  just  above  the 
stigmata  or  spiracles.  This  is  almost 
lacking  in  the  entirely  grown  forms. 
These  two  extreme  color  variants  are  so 
different  that  if  observed  separately 
they  would  not  naturally  be  associated

TATE'S  TIPS 


BEGINNING  IN   BUSINESS. 


Lessons  in  Others'  Experience. 

Ill  ^atlierinjj:  duta  for  tliis  column  last 
woc'k  imieli  material  was  jirocunnl  which 
woiilil  be  most  helpful  to  those  who  are 
beginners  or  who  anticipate  starting  in 
the  retail  florists'  business.  The  facts 
that  appear  in  this  article  arc  all  the 
results  of  dearly  bought  exjierience.  In- 
deed, I  am  convinced  the  best  jtrepara- 
tion  anyone  could  liavc  who  anticipates 
launching  out  on  his  own  account  in 
the  retail  florists'  business  would  be  to 
act  as  corresjiondent  for  The  Review 
in  one  of  our  large  cities.  Of  course, 
when  I  say  this  I  do  not  mean  this  would 
be  all  that  is  required,  as  actual  ex- 
]>erience  is  the  only  thing  that  is  ever 
going  to  make  a  florist.  What  I  do  mean 
is  that  such  a  representative  will  hear 
the  experiences  of  any  number  of  flo- 
rists, which  will  be  most  useful  when  it 
comes  to  conducting  one's  own  business. 

Now  to  begin  at  the  beginning,  the 
first  thing  to  consider  is  just  what  class 
of  trade  you  wish  to  cater  to.  A  well 
defined  plan  along  these  lines  is 
essential.  There  was  a  time,  not  so  long 
ago,  when  the  wealthy  or  aristocratic 
class  was  thought  to  be  the  only  class 
that  bought  flowers.  But  today,  in  any 
of  our  large  cities,  you  will  find  retail 
stores  which  cater  to  the  middle  class  or 
the  wage-earning  class  and  would  not 
exchange  with  their  more  exclusive 
neighbors.  There  is  no  doubt  that  this 
is  a  new  feature  of  the  business  and  one 
which  should  be  encouraged  and  worked 
upon.  Education  in  buying  flowers 
should  be  carried  right  home  to  this 
class  of  trade. 

Determining  Ijocation. 

After  determining  what  class  of  trade 
you  are  going  after,  of  course  the  next 
step  is  to  secure  a  suitable  location.  A 
good  business  street  as  near  to  a  resi- 
dential section  as  possible  experience 
has  proved  to.  be  the  best;  one's  own 
judgment  in  this  will  be  the  best  guide. 
Rut  it  will  be  well  to  study  the  loca- 
tion thoroughly  before  you  decide,  for 
a  good  location  is  half  of  the  battle. 

Now,  assuming  that  you  are  well  lo- 
cated, the  next  step  is  fitting  up  the 
store,  and  this  is  a  most  important  step. 
Let  good  taste  be  displayed  in  every 
feature.  Your  business  is  looked  upon 
as  an  artistic  one;  let  this  be  displayed 
in  your  surroundings.  Do  not  affect 
anything  that  will  look  cheaj)  and 
gaudy;  let  what  you  may  lack  in  store 
fittings  be  made  up  by  your  stock  in 
trade  until  such  time  as  you  can  get 
what  j'ou  desire.  In  one  starting  with 
limited  capital  this  will  require  patience 
and  perseverance.  Have  nothing,  how- 
ever, but  the  best  and  you  will  find  it 
will  repay  you  in  the  eml. 

Securing  Salespersons. 

You  are  now  ready  for  business  and 
will  need  help.  Again  experience  has 
demonstrated  that  the  best  one  to  han- 
dle the  sales  end  of  a  retail  business  is 
a  woman.  The  first  and  most  natural 
impulse  is  to  look  around  and  try  to  get 


one  who  has  been  for  a  long  time  with 
some  established  firm,  one  who  with  her 
experience  may  bring  some  patronage  to 
the  new  venture.  'This  is  a  dangerous 
move,  one  that  sometimes  proves  suc- 
cessful, but  more  often  a  failure. 

There  are  three  good  reasons  why  a 
new  venture  does  not  want  the  services 
of  such  a  person.  The  first  is,  such  a 
person  would  demand  a  larger  salary 
than  a  beginner  could  afford  to  pay.  In 
the  next  place,  if  it  is  possible  for  you 
to  entice  her  away  from  her  former  em- 
ployer without  her  having  good  and 
suflficient  reasons  for  the  change,  she 
will  be  no  more  loyal  to  the  new  busi- 
ness than  she  was  to  her  former  em- 
ployer. In  the  last  place,  such  a  person, 
if  she  has  the  experience  and  commands 
the  patronage,  would  be  foolish  not  to 
start  on  her  own  account. 

The  better  plan  in  securing  a  sales- 
woman is  to  look  about  and  get  a  re- 
fined and  ladylike  person,  even  if  she 
has  not  had  the  practical  experience. 
You  will  find  that  most  women  have  a 
natural  instinct  for  handling  flowers. 
Develop  this  and  if  she  is  taking  an  in- 
terest in  your  business,  don't  discourage 
her.  Remember  that  while  you  may 
have  had  experience,  she  is  a  beginner 
and  may  make  mistakes.  But  if  you 
will,  in  a  kind  way,  show  her  any  mis- 
takes, they   will  seldom  happen   twice. 


At  the  beginning  of  your  career  in- 
stall a  system  and  see  that  this  is  car- 
ried out  to  the  letter.  At  first  it  may 
seem  that  your  business  does  not  war- 
rant this,  but  let  your  system  grow  up 
with  the  business.  You  are  not  always 
going  to  be  small,  and  never  was  the  old 
adage,  "It  is  hard  to  teach  an  old  dog 
new  tricks,"  more  true  than  in  the  case 
of  a  business  which  becomes  large  and 
tries  to  install  a  system.  Have  system 
in  collecting  and  paying  your  accounts; 
system  in  buying  and  handling  your 
stock;  system  in  making  deliveries;  in 
fact,  systematize  everything  about  your 
establishment.  You  will  find  it  just  as 
easy  to  fall  in  with  a  system  as  it  is  to 
do  business  in  a  haphazard  manner. 

One  of  the  hardest  things  a  beginner 
will  have  to  contend  with  is  carrying  a 
stock.  Flowers  are  perishable  and  if 
they  are  not  sold  will  be  a  loss,  yet  a 
new  store  must  carry  stock  every  day 
until  it  becomes  established.  Care 
alone  can  guide  you  in  this,  but  in  these 
days  you  are  in  close  touch  with  the 
wholesale  houses  and  can  get  what  you 
require  in  a  short  time.  Thousands  have 
been  successful  and  anyone  who  will 
work  and  persevere  can  do  the  same. 

In  closing  let  me  give  the  experience 
of  one  of  the  most  up-to-date  florists  in 
the  city  in  which  he  lives.  About  thirty 
years  ago  he  and  his  wife  decided  to 
open  a  store — they  already  had  two 
small  greenhouses.  They  had  just  $15 
in  cash  to  start  on,  but  each  had  youth, 
health  and  courage  to  put  into  the  busi- 
ness. Today  it  is  a  model.  What  one 
has  accomplished  another  may,  and  con- 
ditions are  better  today  than  they  were 
thirty  years  ago.  Tate.

HOW  THEY  GOT  THERE. 

I  have  had  the  pleasure  of  reading 
many  interesting  articles  in  The  Review 
regarding  the  jiacking  and  shipment  of 
cut  flowers  and  would  like  to  relate  a 
little  stunt  that  I  have  found  success- 
ful. 

Having  a  small  shop  in  San  Francisco, 
not  being  a  member  of  the  F.  T.  D.  and 
building  up  a  shipping  business  secured 
through  a  sign  in  the  window  reading 
• '  We  pack  and  ship  cut  flowers  to  all 
parts  of  the  U.  S.  A.,"  I  had  a  customer 
ask  me,  "What  condition  are  the  flow- 
ers in  when  they  get  there?"  and,  to 
tell  the  truth,  I  didn't  know. 

The  more  I  thought  of  this,  the  more 
I  resolve<l  to  find  a  way  to  know,  for  if 
I  was  accepting  money  at  this  end  for 
goods  to  be  sent  away,  of  all  people  con 
cerned  I  was  the  one  who  should  know. 

T   had   printed   on   flowered    canls   the 

following: 

Wf  tiiki'  crciit  ciirt'  ill  the  imckiiii;  of  nit 
flowers  for  sliiiniifiit  iind,  tluiiiuli  our  rcs[Knisi 
bility  ceasfs  wlicii  tlit-.v  leave  mir  store,  our 
interest  in  tliein  still  remains.  WiniM  .vmi 
kitifU.v  inferm  lis  on  tlip  attaclied  iKistal  as  to 
tlie  cdiiclitioii  in  wliieli  these  Mowers  were  re- 
i-eiveij '! 

This  card  I  attached  to  a  self-ad- 
dressed jiostal  ami  enclosed  it  in  the  l)ox 
of  flowers.  I  also  d  ted  the  card  in  the 
ujiper  left-hand  corner  with  a  date  staniji 
;iiid  keyit  track  of  all  shiimients.     It  was 


surprising  how  promptly  the  cards  were 
returned  and  the  words  of  gratitude 
written  showed  me  that  the  public  really 
does  appreciate  service. 

Besides,  I  was  al  le  to  tell  "how  they 
got  there"  and  that  certainly  is  an  im- 
portant matter  with  such  perishable 
goods  as  fl  wers. 

1  firmly  believe  that  any  florist,  whole- 
sale or  retail,  who  sends  flowers  any  dis- 
tance, owes  to  himself  and  his  custom- 
ers enough  interest  in  his  wares  to  tell 
just  exactly  the  condition  in  which  his 
goods  are  received  and  this  plan  I  have 
found  inexpensive,  to  the  point  and  good 
advertising.  W.  D.  McMullen. 


FLOWERS   FLEW   IN    TEXAS,    TOO. 

We  noticed  in  The  Review  of  Novem- 
ber 20  an  item  about  airplane  deliverv' 
of  flowers  at  Toronto,  Ont.,  as  being  the 
first  on  record. 

We  had  the  jileasure  of  selling  several 
orders  of  cut  flowers  last  year  to  cus- 
tomers who  came  forty  miles  in  an  air- 
]daiie  to  get  them.  We  had  a  store  at 
Waco,  Tex.,  where  Camp  MacArthur  was 
situated,  and  we  enjoyed  a  considerable 
patronage  from  the  oflicers,  so  that  oc- 
casionall.v  our  stock  ran  quite  low.  As 
our  greenhouses  were  situated  in  another 
town  forty  miles  distant,  it  was  hard  to 
get  stock  in  a  hurry.    One  day  a  captain

of  the  air  force  suggested  fetching  the 
flowers  from  the  greenhouse  if  he  would 
have  the  order  telephoned  to  the  house; 
he  got  there  about  the  time  we  got  the 
call. 

Then  it  used  to  happen  that  whenever 
they  would  have  a  dance  at  the  camp 
one  of  the  pilots  would  come  down  Id 
the  greenhouse  for  tlic  flowers  in  order 
to  got  them  fresh  cut.  It  got  to  be  a 
regular  occurrence  with  us.

PHILADELPHIA  CLUB  MEETING. 

At  the  dinner  of  the  Philadelphia 
Florists'  Club  at  the  Adelphia  Hotel 
Tuesday  evening,  December  2,  there  were 
about  fifty  persons  present.  It  was  fol-  « 
lowed  by  a  fair-sized  meeting.  Charles 
H.  Grakelow  opened  the  evening  by 
urging  the  loyal  support  of  everyone 
for  the  publicity  campaign  here.  A.  L. 
Miller,  of  New  York,  president-elect  of 
the  S.  A.  F.,  spoke  on  the  results  to  be 
accomplished  by  getting  together. 
Frank  H.  Traendly  and  Eugene  Daille- 
douze,  of  New  York,  also  spoke.  The 
meeting  clesed  with  a  discussion  of 
the  use  of  oil  for  fuel. 

From  Buffalo  the  W.  F.  Kasting  Co. 
sent  an  exhibit  of  Hamburg  Late  Pink 
chrysanthemums.  Henry  I.  Faust,  of 
Morion,  Pa.,  exhibited  cyclamens, 
})oinsettias  and  ferns.  William  K. 
Harris  had  a  display  of  foliage  plants 
and  Edward  Towill  showed  a  seedling 
rose.  Phil. 


ADVERTISING  AT  LOW  COST. 

In  the  celebration  of  "Say  It  with 
Flewers"  week  in  Washington,  D.  C, 
the  father  of  this  movement,  Z.  D. 
Blackistone,  gave  further  proof  of  the 
fertility  of  his  brain  by  his  methods  of 
securing  advertising  in  behalf  of  the 
florists'  week  at  cost  so  out  of  propor- 
tion to  the  gain  that  it  was  insignificant. 
The  two  illustrations  on  this  page  show 
two  ideas  of  Mr.  Blackistone.  One  is 
the  basket  of  chrysanthemums  which 
Mr.  Blalkistone  describes  as  the  "first 
big  gun  of  'Say  It  with  Flowers' 
week."  It  was  presented  at  a  mass 
meeting  of  10,000  Red  Cross  workers  at 


Z.  D.  Blackistone  and  Basket  Presented  to  Red  Cross  Workers. 


Liberty  Hut  at  the  opening  of  the  week 
and  linked  up  the  florists'  campaign 
with  these  workers'  activities.  The 
presentation  speech  was  ably  made  by 
Wm.  F.  Gude,  who  was  followed  on  the 
program  by  General  Pershing.  The 
value  of  this  basket  of  chrysanthemums 
to  the  florists'  week  campaign  was  many 
times  its  actual  cost. 

In  the  other  illustration  is  shown  Z.  I). 
Blackistone 's  store  as  it  apj>cared  dur- 
ing "Say  It  with  Flowers"  week.  Mr. 
Blackistone  said  the  exterior  decoration 
was  done  at  a  cost  of  $2~)  and  lasted  two 


weeks.  He  further  states  that  it 
was  one  of  the  best  pieces  of  advertis- 
ing he  has  made.  In  the  windows  were 
exhibited  displays,  staged  by  G.  N. 
Prokos,  for  a  Tom  Thumb  wedding, 
which  constantly  drew  crowds  of  wit- 
nesses. 

On  Thanksgiving  day  Mr.  Blackistone 
contributed  still  another  advertising 
idea  to  the  local  florists'  cause,  that  of 
sending  flowers  to  the  sick  children  in 
various  hospitals  of  Washington  by  the 
Boy  Scouts. 

The  publicity  gained  by  such  ideas  as 
these  is  extensive,  whereas  the  cost  is 
small,  extremely  small  if  one  compares 
it  with  the  returns. 


RUST  ON  SNAPDRAGON  PLANTS. 

Is  there  any  known  remedy  or  preven- 
tive for  rust  on  snapdragon  plants?  At 
jiresent  our  jilants  are  free  from  rust, 
but  last  year  most  of  our  stock  was  lost 
because  of  it.  P.  F.  ('.— I'a. 


Exterior  Store  Decoration  Proved  Excellent  Advertising  at  Low  Cost. 


The  best  and  perhaps  the  only  way  to 
keep  snapdragon  plants  free  from  rust 
is  the  use  of  clean  cultural  methods. 
Grow  the  plants  well  in  a  clean,  light, 
well-kept  house,  giving  plenty  of  ven- 
tilation on  every  favorable  occasion. 
Avoid  as  much  as  possible  any  tendency 
toward  a  close,  stuffy  atmosphere.  Do 
not  syringe  the  plants  and,  when  water- 
ing, water  at  the  roots  only.  Pay  par- 
ticular attention  to  keeping  the  insects 
in  check  by  vaporizing  with  the  nicotine 
extract  regularly  about  once  every  two 
weeks,  since  the  green  fly  is  especially 
troublesome  on  snapdragon  plants.  As 
the  plants  are  now  free  from  rust,  there 
ought  not  to  be  any  trouble  from  it  this 
season  if  reasonably  clean  culture  is 
given  them.  M.  P.

MERCHANT   PRINCES. 


Max  Schling. 

The  career  of  the  self-made  man  is 
always  intensely  interesting.  The  hum- 
ble beginning,  the  privations,  the  lean 
years  o:^  close  and  constant  application, 
followed  by  a  goodly  measure  of  well 
merited  success,  lend  hope  and  inspira- 
tion to  them  whose  course  is  just  begun. 
No  other  experience  is  so  capable  of 
developing  the  finer  qualities  of  char- 
acter or  nourishing  the  nobler  attributes 
of  the  human  heart.  Without  this  broad- 
ening influence  it  is  practically  impossi- 
ble to  become  a  master  in  the  walks  of 
men. 

In  this  crucible  was  formed  the  life 
of  the  nationally  known  Fifth  avenue 
florist.  Max  Schling.  Success  cameij  to 
the  tenlperamental  Max  simply  because 
it  could  not  elude  him;  he  had  chosen 
the  right  calling  and  hard  work  with  in- 
telligent direction  did  the  rest.  His 
origiijalitj.  and  fertility  in  evolving 
new  idea*'-  give  him  distinction.  He 
loves  his  calling  and  derives  his  great- 
est pleasure  from  pleasing  his  countless 
patroiiS  He  is  an  -ind«f  atigable  worker 
and  expects  his  assistants  to  perform 
nothing  that  he  is  unwilling  to  do  him- 
self. The  phenomenal  growth  of  his 
business  is  the  logical  result  of  the  well 
coordinated  efforts  of  an  able  man.  The 
memory  of  the  distinctive  personal  qual- 
ities and  kindly  hospitality  of  Max 
Schling  lives  long  after  other  features 
of  a  visit  to  the  financial  capital  of  the 
world  are  forgotten. 

H.  H.  BaUles. 

Those  present  at  the  F,  T.  D.  meeting 
in  Buffalo  last  October  will  lopg  remejn- 
ber  the  tribute  paid  to  this  prominent 
Philadelphia  florist  by  the  eloquent 
Charles  H.  Grakelow.  We  know  not 
whether  H,  H.  Battles  has  heard  of  the 
justly  good  things  said  of  him  at  this 
gathering  by  his  gifted  fellow  towns- 
man, but  we  do  know  that  the  tradesmen 


assembled  were  given  a  true  and  splen- 
did impression  of  the  man. 

Somehow  or  other,  we  must  admire 
the  man  who  gives  himself  exclusively 
to  the  exactions  of  his  business.  The 
world  is  full  of  men  who — often  to  the 
detriment  of  their  interests — give  liber- 
ally of  their  time  and  attention  to  other 
affairs,  but  the  man  who  has  built  his 
business  upon  the  ideal  of  service  and 
by  untiring  personal  effort  has  ad- 
vanced it  to  a  state  where  he  doos  not 
wish  for  more,  is  a  distinguished  excep- 
tion and  well  worthy  our  regard.  Trade 
organization  is  indeed  a  great  product- 
ive force  for  good,  but  its  burdens  must 
be  borne  by  men  to  whom  the  work  is 
congenial.  All  should  contribute  of 
their  substance,  of  course,  which  is  gen- 
erously done  by  H.  H.  Battles.  The 
striking  success  of  this  man  in  the 
retailing  of  flowers  furnishes  a  splendid 
example  of  what  may  be  accomplished 
by  a  strict  and  undivided  attention  to 
business. 

S.  A.  Anderson. 

The  attention  of  the  entire  trade  has 
been  directed  to  Buffalo  by  the  marked 
enthusiasm  of  its  florists  upon  the  sub- 
ject of  publicity.  A  superb  degree  of 
cooperation  exists  there  at  present; 
broad  plans  for  the  increase  of  business 
by  advertising  are  formulated  and 
funds  in  support  thereof  are  being  sub- 
scribed with  a  liberality  truly  admir- 
able. That  the  florists  of  the  Queen 
City  and  its  environs  firmly  believe  in 
the  merits  of  greater  publicity  for  their 
product  is  amply  borne  out  by  the  gener- 
ous amount  of  the  proposed  annual  fund. 

One  of  the  reasons  for  this  activity 
is  that  Buffalo  is  the  home  of  S.  A.  An- 
derson, who  is  justly  reputed  to  be  an 
exceedingly  live  wire.  A  successful 
business  man  is  he,  having  the  vision  to 
see  even  better  times  ahead  for  his  pro- 
fession, a  man  of  action  and  of  the 
constructive  type  rare  among  florists. 
That  every  institution  is  the  lengthened 
shadow  of  a  man  is  proved  by  a  visit  to

his  places  of  business,  which  are  models 
of  neatness  and  efficiency. 

Out  of  the  100,000,000  people  in  Uncle 
Sam's  dominions  only  comparatively 
few  are  accustomed  to  the  refining  in- 
fluence of  flowers.  Education  is  needed 
and  this  can  be  supplied  alone  by  pub- 
licity. It  is- the  means  of  tapping  the 
vast  reservoir  of  public  sentiment,  that 
augmented  streams  of  gold  may  flow 
into  the  waiting  coffers  of  the  florists. 
Buffalo  florists  reason  in  this  manner. 
There,  as  in  every  other  community, 
successful  men,  well  worthy  of  emula- 
tion, point  the  way  and  the  interest  of

PiaSKIN  AIDS  COLLEGE  SHOP. 

Opening  their  shop  in  a  college  town 
in  time  for  the  football  season  this  fall, 
the  three  college  men  who  compose  the 
BluMaize  Blossom  Shop,  at  Ann  Arbor, 
Mich.,  have  had  a  most  auspicious  be- 
ginning. After  the  names  of  the  three 
men  on  the  firm's  letterhead  appears  the 
alma  mater  of  each:  Alex.  Lurie — Cor- 
nell; W.  S.  Wells— Miami;  H.  W.  Haw- 
kins— Michigan.  Alex.  Lurie  is  well 
known  to  the  trade.  While  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Maine  he  organized  the  Maine 
Florists'  Society.  He  was  trustee  of  the 
St.  Louis  Florists'  Club  while  he  was  8J-' 
perintendent  of  the  Missouri  Botanical 
Garden  in  that  city.  W.  S.  Wells  was 
also  at  one  time  with  the  Missouri  Botan- 
ical Garden  and  was  instrumental  in  or- 
ganizing the  Missouri  State  Florists' 
Association  in  1916,  acting  as  its  first 
vice-president  and  later  as  its  secretary. 
He  resigned  his  position  as  superinten- 
dent of  the  medicinal  garden  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan  to  open  the  flower 
store. 

For  the  close  of  the  football  season 
the  BluMaize  Blossom  Shop  made  thor- 
ough preparations  for  the  big  crowd's 
demand  and  used  the  opportunity  to 
stage  an  F.  T.  D.  window  display,  which 
is  shown  in  the  accompanying  illustra- 
tion. The  annual  football  game  be- 
tween the  University  of  Michigan  and 
the  University  of  Minnesota  drew  thou- 
sands of  visitors  to  Ann  Arbor.  The 
apparently  inexhaustible  supply  of  yel- 
low mums,  chiefly  Bonnaffon  and  yellow 
pompons,  was  disposed  of  so  rapidly  that 
many  of  the  late-comers  were  forced  to 
do  without  flowers,  much  to  their  dis- 
gust. Pompon  corsage  bouquets  were 
snatched  up  as  fast  as  they  were  made 
and  many  people  were  turned  away 
either  from  lack  of  material  or  the  time 
to  make  the  bouquets.  The  day  was 
perfect  and  all  the  florists  enjoyed  a 
splendid  business.  The  BluMaize  Blos- 
som Shop  got  a  large  share  by  its  clever 
and  extensive  local  advertising.  Its  F. 
T.  D.  business  is  constantly  growing.

lo  Automobile  Time  200  Machines  an  Hour  Pass  This  Sign  on  the  National  Highway. 


On  this  highway  the  automobile  traffic 
in-  season,  states  Bertermann  Bros.  Co., 
ranges  up  to  200  machines  per  hour. 

The  scene  is  here  set  for  the  growth 
of  any  amount  of  publicity.  If  we  sup- 
pose averages  of  four  passengers  per 
machine  and  only  180  machines  per  hour 
for  ten  hours  per  day  and  150  days  in 
the  year,  then  for  that  minor  portion  of 
the  year  1,080,000  people  read  "Say  It 
with  Flowers"  in  conjunction  with  the 
firm's  name  and  address.  Add  to  that 
the  result  of  the  diminished  traffic  in 
the  rest  of  the  year  and  the  much  larger 
figures  for  the  passengers  on  the  two 
railroads  and  the  annual  total  would 
be  well  over  3,000,000.  Many  of  these 
readers  and  potential  buyers  are  resi- 
dents of  that  region,  going  to  or  from 
Indianapolis;  they  would  patronize  the 
local  store.  Others  are  travelers  from 
a  distance;  they  might  easily  become  F. 
T.  D.  patrons. 


l^AIR  BOOTH  BBINGS  TBADE. 

One  of  the  most  successful  of  the 
booths  at  the  farm,  home  and  school 
festival  at  MankatO,  Ean.,  last  month 
was  that  of  the  Kramer  Greenhouse. 
These  booths  were  sold  to  various  busi- 
ness firms  for  the  display  of  their  goods 
or  products.  That  of  the  Kramer  Green- 
house seemed  to  be  a  point  of  interest 
and  many  words  of  commendation  were 
heard.  The  people  evidenced  a  great 
desire  to  learn  more  of  flowers  and 
plants,  and  occasion  was  taken  to  re- 
mind them  of  birthdays  and  wedding  an- 
niversaries of  friends  and  other  times 
when  the  sending  of  flowers  was  appro- 
priate. 

In  regard  to  the  display,  L.  H.  Caw- 
thorn,  manager  of  the  Kramer  Green- 
house, says:  "Ours  was  the  first  flo- 
rists' booth  ever  displayed  at  this  fes- 
tival or  fair  along  with  other  lines  of 
business.  I  think  this  idea  a  good  one, 
inasmuch  as  it  shows  that  the  florists' 
business  is  one  with  which  the  public  is 
beginning  to  deal  as  with  other  lines  of 
business.  Doubtless  I  can  make  the  idea 
plainer  by  saying  that  wherever  there 
is  a  trades '  or  merchandise  or  products 
display  of  a  general  nature,  such  as  the 
fairs  offer,  there  the  florist  must  be  with 
his  display  and  his  talk  of  flowers.  In 
this  way  the  public  can  be  taught  that 
the  flower  business  is  one  they  can  pat- 
ronize every  day  the  same  as  any  other 
business. 

"I  have  no  quarrel,  mind  you,  with 
the  so-called  mum  shows,  horticultural 
shows  and  the  various  flower  society 
meetings  and  exhibitions;  they  are  ex- 
cellent and  should  be  supported  by  all 
means,  as  occasionally  the  florist  or 
grower  should  occupy  the  entire  stage. 
But  they  do  to  some  extent  exclude  a 


certain  part  of  the  public  and  give  an 
erroneous  idea  that  cut  flowers  and 
plants  are  expensive  and  a  luxury  to  be 
indulged  in  only  on  widely  separated  oc- 
casions. Mixing  and  showing  with  other 
lines  of  business  will  have  a  tendency 
to  do  away  with  this  shyness  of  a  part 
of  the  public  toward  the  florists'  busi- 
ness. ' '

of  all  sizes  and  grades  was  so  plentiful 
that  the  shortage  on  roses  was  not  gen- 
erally noticeable  and  most  of  the  deal- 
ers came  through  with  satisfactory 
clean-ups.  There  were  a  large  number 
of  small  weddings  that  called  for  a  big 
lot  of  flowers,  while  family  gatherings 
created  an  active  call.  Medium  and 
small  individual  mums  found  the  most 
demand,  while  sprays  and  clusters  were 
quickly  moved.  Reports  already  re- 
ceived indicate  that  Thanksgiving  busi- 
ness this  year  exceeded  that  of  any 
previous  year.  One  noticeable  condi- 
tion that  has  been  becoming  steadily 
more  and  more  apparent  is  the  custom 
of  wearing  orchids.  The  demand  for 
them  at  the  downtown  stores  is  said 
to  have  more  than  doubled  this  fall.

BUD-ROT  or  OABNATIONS. 

Some  of  my  carnation  buds,  when 
beginning  to  show  color,  rot  in  the  cen- 
ter. Can  you  tell  me  what  is  the  cause 
of  this!  The  trouble  has  appeared 
^"If'iC*^®  Matchless,  Enchantress 
and  White  Enchantress  and  is  confined 
to  stock  that  was  shipped  in.  There  has 
been  a  great  deal  of  cloudy  weather 
during  the  last  six  weeks  and  the  plants 
are  not  growing  as  they  should.  I  am 
syringing  them  on  bright  days  about 
twice  a  week.     Is  that  often  enough! 

H.  L.  U.— Kan. 

Your  carnations  are  troubled  with 
what  18  known  as  bud-rot.  This  is  due 
to  a  tiny  insect,  which  causes  the  petals 
to  stick  and  rot  during  periods  of  slow 
development.  Toward  spring,  when  the 
buds  develop  faster,  this  pest  will  not 
give  much  trouble.  Cut  oflf  and  burn  all 
buds  which  are  in  this  condition.  Then 
spray  or  fumigate  regularly  with  one  of 
the  nicotine  preparations.  Make  semi- 
weekly  applications  until  the  trouble 
disappears,  after  which  one  application 
each  week  will  suffice.  Frequent  syrine- 
ing  would  aggravate  the  trouble:  there- 
fore. If  there  are  no  signs  of  red  spider, 
1  would  dispense  with  syringing  for  a 
time  or  at  least  reduce  it  to  once  a  week 
and  be  sure  to  select  a  bright  day.    A

BUDS  INJUEED  BY  PEOST. 

Under  separate  cover  we  are  mailing 
you  a  sample  of  our  carnations,  which 
are  badly  affected  with  some  disease. 
We  should  like  to  know  whether  there 
18  any  remedy  for  it.  We  rebuilt  two 
houses  in  the  fall,  but  failed  to  get  the 
glass  m  before  a  hard  frost  came  Both 
the  houses  were  open  and  the  plants  ex- 
posed, with  the  temperature  down  to 
10  or  12  degrees  below  freezing  point 
for  two  nights,  so  that  the  plants  on 
the  entire  seven  benches  were  iniured 
more  or  less.  Our  cut  for  October  and 
r^lovember   was   not   more   than   ten    to 

ySr'  On'tif '''*    °^-  '^^K  "^    P^«^i«"« 
years.    On  the  mornings  after  the  frost 

we  sprayed  the  plants  thoroughly  with 

cold  water  before  sunrise,  to  take  the 

frost   out       We   had   fire   in    the   boiler 

during    the    night,    but    this    did    little 

good,  owing  to  the  absence  of  the  elass 

B.  F.  &  S.  C.-Ore. 

There  is  nothing  you  can  do  to  re- 
suscitate these  blooms,  which  have  been 
severely  frosted  in  the  bud.  Their  con- 
dition seems  to  be  entirely  due  to  the 
freezing  I  would  suggest  that  you  cut 
away  all  the  stems  on  which  the  buds 
had  reached  any  size  at  the  time  of  the 
frost.  Those  which  were  quite  small 
might  develop  into  good  blooms.  If  the 
iJants  were  in  vigorous  condition  at 
that  time,  it  will  not  require  a  great 
while  for  them  to  come  into  crop  again 


Do  not  go  to  extremes  in  applying  fer- 
tilizers or  heat  for  the  purpose  of  hurry- 
ing them  along.  Rather  the  reverse 
treatment  would  be  preferable.  A 
thorough  application  of  Bordeaux  mix- 
ture might  prevent  an  attack  of  leaf- 
spot,  which  might  result  from  the  ordeal 
the  plants  have  passed  through.  The 
Bordeaux  would  do  no  harm  in  any 
event.  A.  F.  J.  B. 


ly  proves  that  there  is  nothing  seriously 
wrong  with  your  soil  and  that  probably 
the  trouble  is  due  to  the  shipping.  Per- 
haps the  plants  were  dug  during  an  ex- 
tremely dry  spell,  or  they  may  have 
heated  in  the  boxes.  Possibly  they  did 
not  get  the  extra  care  required  by  plants 
that  are  shipped.  I  would  hesitate  to 
condemn  the  shipper,  unless  you  noticed 
that  they  were  not  right  when  you  re- 
ceived them.  His  control  over  them 
and  his  responsibility  cease  when  he 
delivers  them  in  good  condition  to  the 
transportation  company.  There  is  little 
you  can  do  with  plants  in  this  condi- 
tion. They  will  give  you  practically  no 
returns  during  the  winter  months  and 
you  could  probably  get  much  more  out 
of  the  space  by  replanting  with  some 
other  crop.  Snapdragons,  benched  now, 
will  give  you  a  fine  crop  in  early  spring 
and  until  midsummer.       A.  F.  J.  B. 


PLANTS  MADE  POOR  START.  TEMPERATURE  FOR  CARNATIONS. 


I  am  enclosing  some  foliage  from 
carnations  which  I  purchased  from  a 
well  known  firm.  They  have  been  plant- 
ed about  two  months,  but  I  am  unable 
to  do  much  with  them.  It  seems  that  a 
person  should  have  some  redress  or 
grounds  for  damage  against  firms  that 
send  out  this  kind  of  stock.  In  the 
same  bench  I  have  plants  that  were 
grown  by  myself  and  some  that  I  bought 
from  other  firms,  and  all  of  these  are 
doing  well;  the  disease  does  not  seem  to 
spread  to  them.  Can  you  tell  me  what 
the  trouble  is  and  how  to  remedy  itt 
C.  A.  R.  &  S.— O. 

Your  carnation  plants  do  not  seem  to 
be  suffering  particularly  from  any  dis- 
ease. The  plants  seem  to  have  failed 
to  take  hold  for  some  reason,  after  being 
benched.  It  is  not  at  all  strange  that 
plants  of  your  own  growing  should  have 
started  off  well,  whereas  these  shipped 
plants  failed  to  take  hold.     That  mere- 


How  warm  should  one  keep  his  green- 
house in  order  to  grow  good  carnations  f 
What  is  the  usual  temperature!  What 
is  the  reason  that  the  shoots  on  my  car- 
nation plants  do  not  break,  or  only  with 
difficulty!  C.  T.— Ont. 

Carnation  houses  are  usually  kept  at 
a  temperature  of  50  to  52  degrees  at 
night,  with  a  rise  of  6  degrees  on  cloudy 
days  and  15  to  20  degrees  on  bright, 
sunny  days.  You  are  not  quite  explicit 
in  the  other  part  of  your  inquiry.  If 
the  young  leaves  curl  and  unfold  with 
difficulty,  this  condition  is  probably  due 
to  excessive  nitrogen  in  the  soil.  Until 
the  plants  get  to  growing  freely,  the 
trouble  will  probably  continue.  It  is 
not  serious  and  will  disappear  in  time 
if  you  will  follow  a  moderate  course  in 
your  culture.  Give  abundant  ventila- 
tion when  weather  conditions  permit. 
Water  carefully  and  apply  no  fertilizers 
for  a  time.  A.  F.  J.  B.

Old  Boreas  swept  down  the  Mohawk 
valley  Thanksgiving  eve,  playing  havoc 
with  transportation  and  consequently 
causing  loss  and  disappointment  to  both 
shipper  and  receiver.  The  trolley  sys- 
tem was  practically  put  out  of  business 
and  flowers  transferred  to  automobile 
trucks  suffered.  It  remains  to  be  seen 
who  will  pay  the  bill.  There  is  evidence 
that  the  retailer  delays  to  the  last 
moment  in  placing  definite  orders  with 
the  wholesaler,  who  in  his  turn  does  his 
level  best  to  accommodate  and  there- 
fore feels  that  the  risk  really  does  not 
rest  with  him.  In  no  other  line  of  busi- 
ness is  the  necessity  for  cooperation  and 

reciprocity  so  evident.

choice  stock.  Owing  to  the  sharp 
weather,  extra  care   was   essential   for 

safe  delivery.

Sambrook  Bros.,  of  Troy,  N.  Y.,  note 
that  choice  stock  sold  far  ahead  of  any- 
thing else,  which  proves  that  quality 
and  not  quantity  is  the  desideratum.

J.  G.  Barrett,  of  Troy,  N.  Y.,  observed 
that  extra  help  is  exceedingly  difiScult 
to  get  at  this  time.

A.  D.  Carpenter,  of  Cohoes,  N.  Y., 
gave  the  usual  chrysanthemum  show 
preceding  Thanksgiving  and  had  one  of 
the  best  periods  in  the  history  of  this 
time-honored  business.  The  venerable 
founder  is  still  able  to  share  in  the  con- 
genial work.  W.  M.

The  Market. 

Business  continues  to  be  brisk.  Pro- 
duction has  been  retarded  somewhat  by 
lack  of  sunshine,  but  demand,  too,  has 
been  hindered  by  the  disagreeable 
weather.  If  we  should  have  a  week  of 
ideal  weather,  a  hunt"  for  stock  would 
fltill  be  in  order. 

The  general  report  for  Thanksgiving 
is  that  a  fij^isfactory  amount  of  trade 
was  done  "hjr  all.  While  the  chrysan- 
themum supply  appeared  short  at  first, 
it  proved  P>  be  ample  for  everybody. 
The  plant  tjade  was  good,  perhaps  bet- 
ter than  ever  before,  and  about  the 
only  thing  short  of  the  demand  was 
roses.  The  rose  supply  at  this  time 
is  off. 

Various  Notes. 

F.  J.  Baum  has  the  best  batch  of  aza- 
leas in  the  city. 

C.  .T.  Guenther's  chrysanthemum, 
Hamburg  Late  "White,  is  a  wonderful 
success  for  Thanksgiving  and  later 
flowering. 

The  coal  shortage  will  not  menace 
local  growers,  since  most  of  them  are 
well  stocked.  F.  P.  A. 


NEWARK,  N.  J. 


The  Market. 

Practically  all  of  the  florists  report  an 
excellent  Thanksgiving  business,  many 
of  them  cleaning  out  their  stock  entire- 
ly. Prices  were  high,  but  people  paid 
them.  Chrysanthemums  cost  $8  and  $9 
a  dozen  wholesale  and  retailed  at  $1  per 
bloom.  Roses  and  carnations  were 
scarce  and  high-priced;  they  are  off  crop 
now,  due,  it  is  reported,  to  the  fact  that 
the  early  part  of  the  season  was  so 
warm  that  the  buds  developed  earlier 
than  usual.    As  a  rule,  as  soon  as  mums 


MRS.  BTJTH  DAY. 

BREAKING  precedents  last  July,  the  Pacific  Coast  Association  of  Nurserymen 
chose  as  its  president  a  woman — one  might  say  a  girl,  since  she  is  but  24 — 
Mrs.  Ruth  Day,  manager  of  Overman's  Nursery,  Spokane,  Wash.  The  selection 
seems  less  unusual  when  one  considers  her  ancestry  and  experience.  Her  mother's 
uncles,  Nathan  and  Cyrus  Overman,  founded  the  Mound  Nursery,  in  Canton,  111., 
over  fifty  years  ago  and  Cyrus  Overman  was  president  of  the  Illinois  State  Horti- 
cultural Society.  Her  uncle,  Leigh  Overman,  had  been  in  the  nursery  business  for 
twenty  odd  years  when  she  and  her  mother  moved  to  Spokane  from  Pasadena, 
Cal.,  where  she  had  been  born  March  13,  1895.  She  at  once  went  to  work  in  her 
uncle's  oflSce.  Although  not  yet  17,  she  soon  became  his  first  assistant  and  after 
his  death,  four  years  ago,  she  took  over  the  business,  retaining  the  old  firm  name. 
She  married  Mr.  Day  four  years  ago  and  for  the  last  two  years  he  has  been  her 
copartner  in  the  business.     There  are  three  "little  Days,"  aged  3,  2  and  1  years. 


begin  to  disappear  there  is  a  good  crop 
of  carnations  and  roses  to  take  their 
place.  Some  rose  growers  who  are  cut- 
ting but  little  now  report  that  they  will 
have  other  varieties  arriving  in  time 
for  the  Christmas  trade  and  will  have 
more  still  later  in  the  winter.  A  larger 
supply  of  carnations  is  expected  later 
in  the  season  also. 

"Various  Notes. 

Charles  E.  Maillard,  516  Orange 
street,  reports  a  fine  Thanksgiving  busi- 
ness, notwithstanding  the  high  prices. 
He  states  that  business  has  been  good 
all  the  fall,  though  there  has  been  no 
rush  at  any  time. 

Charles  Trauth,  Orange  street,  reports 
that  the  Thanksgiving  trade  cleaned  out 
his  stock  entirely.  Business  since 
Thanksgiving  has  been  better  than  he 


expected,  as  usually  there  is  a  little  dull 
spell  following  a  big  holiday  trade. 

Harry  I.  Stein,  proprietor  of  the  Pub- 
lic Service  Terminal  flower  store,  sees 
some  danger  in  the  present  high  prices 
of  flowers.  With  such  high  prices  many 
people  who  at  other  times  are  steady 
customers  purchase  flowers  only  on  spe- 
cial occasions.  Under  such  conditions 
it  is  harder  to  plan  purchases.  It  is  also 
harder  to  use  up  stock  that  is  a  little 
past  its  prime.  A  steady  trade  at  some- 
what lower  prices  is  a  healthier  business 
condition,  he  thinks.  R,  B.  M. 


Windsor,  Ont. — The  store  of  Charles 
R.  Tuson,  former  mayor  of  Windsor,  at 
46  Ouellette  avenue,  has  been  sold  to 
the  Bank  of  Hamilton  for  $80,000.  An 
office  building  and  bank  will  be  bailt 
on  the  site.

MIDGE  ON  MUMS. 

"We  are  sending  you  some  mum  cut- 
tings.   Please  tell  us  Whdt  is  the  trouble 
with  them  and  what  is  "the  remedy  for 
.    tjhe  trouble.     Will  they  do  for  cuttings 
for  next  year?  M.  &  B.— N.  C. 

The  chrysanthemum  cuttings  are  so 
badly  infested  with  midge  that  the  best 
thing  that  I  can  suggest  is  to  destroy 
'  the  plants  and  purchase  clean  stock 
from  some  reliable  grower.  These  are 
harsh  measures  to  advise,  but  to  propa- 
gate cuttings  from  this  stock  will  mean 
more  trouble  next  season  and  greater 
'     toss.  M.  P. 


AQAIN  MIDGE  ON  MUMS. 

We  are  sending  you  the  stem  of 
one  of  our  chrysanthemums,  which  are 
affected  with  some  disease  that  we  have 
had  no  experience  with  heretofore.  We 
grew  them  on  ground  benches  this  year, 
contrary  to  our  usual  custom.  Will  you 
please  inform  us  what  the  trouble  is 
and  whethor  it  will  be  advisable  to  use 
any  of  the  stock.  K.  M.  J.— Wis. 

The  chrysanthemums  are  badly  af- 
fected by  midge,  which  when  once  it 
gets  into  the  stock  is  difficult  to  cxt-^r- 
minatp.  I  would  advise  destroying 
this  stock  and  making  a  fresh  and  clean 
start  bv  purchasing  plants  from  some  re- 
liable grower  and  isolating  them  from 
the  chrysanthemum  plants  you  now 
have  on  the  place,  giving  them  a  clean 
house  and  fresh  soil.  Do  not  treat  them 
to  any  forced  conditions.  M.  P. 

PINK  MUMS. 

Please  tell  me  the  name  of  the  true 
pink  mum  that  is  on  the  market  and 
that  blooms  about  the  same  time  as 
Chieftain  or  Turner.  O.  R.— la. 

I  am  unable  to  say  just  what  variety 
is  referred  to.  There  is  a  lovely  pink 
mum  which  is  being  sold  in  the  stores 
today  and  which  is  simply  Wm.  Turner, 
the  white  variety,  dyed  pink.  This  is 
done  by  dissolving  a  package  of  pink 
dye,  made  for  flowers  only,  in  water  and 
allowing  the  bloom  to  stand  in  it  ten  or 
twelve  hours  and  take  up  the  water 
through  the  stem.  In  this  way  the  pink 
dye  runs  up  into  the  flower  and  a  beauti- 
ful, clear  pink  bloom  is  the  result.     In 


fact,  in  many  places  they  were  selling  it 
as  the  "new  Pink  Turner."  This  may 
be  what  you  refer  to. 

This  year  there  is  a  fine  pink  sport  of 
Wm.  Turner,  which  will  be  distributed 
in  the  spring  of  1920.  This  variety 
would  come  into  bloom  at  the  same  time 
as  Wm.  Turner  and  is  known  as  Mrs.  J. 
Leslie  Davis.  Other  good  commercial 
pinks  that  bloom  at  the  same  time  are 
Nerissa  and  Elberon,  both  of.  which  are 
excellent,  and  if  you  have  not  grown 
them  you  should  investigatje- them.

SOLANUMS  DO  "NOT  FRUIT. 

I  grew  1,000  Cleveland  cherries  from 
seed  sown  in  February  and  shifted 
them  to  4-inch  pots  later.  The  plants 
grew  nicely,  but  did  not  have  many  ber- 
ries. They  have  been  in  the  house  for 
some  time  and  the  blooms  that  have 
come  have  dropped  off.  I  have  been  told 
that  the  plants  should  have  been  set 
out  in  the  field  first  and  potted  after 
having  the  berries.  Kindly  advise  me 
in  this  regai^.  W.  C.  H. — Pa. 

All  the  solanums,  or  Jerusalem  cher- 
ries, as  they  are  more  popularly  called, 
will  grow  and  fruit  much  better  if  plant- 
ed out  during  the  summer  and  then  lift- 
ed and  potted  about  the  middle  of  Sep- 
tember. Any  flowers  which  might  set 
on  your  plants  at  this  late  date  would 
be  of  little  value.  I  have  tried  pot- 
grown  solanums,  but  have  obtained  so 
much  better  results  when  they  are  grown 
outdoors  from  May  15  to  September  15 
that  I  have  entirely  restricted  myself 
to  field-grown  plants  for  some  years. 
Give  the  plants  a  soil  not  too  rich,  or 
they  will  become  of  unwieldy  size.  My 
outdoor  stock  always  has  berried  heavily 
and  a  little  shade  and  spraying  after  lift- 


WESTERN  UNION   USES   WINDOW. 

The  EUicott  Square  office  of  the  West- 
ern Union  Telegraph  Co.,  in  Buffalo,  has 
been  taken  for  a  florist's  shop  of  late, 
on  account  of  the  display  staged  in  its 
window.  Thousands  of  passers-by,  it 
is  said,  have  stopped  to  watch  the  big 
circular  bas-relief  map  of  the  United 
States  and  Canada  slowly  revolve,  send- 
ing along  wires  strung  between  cities 
thereon  tiny  yellow  cardboards  labeled 
telegrams. 

This  map  was  the  invention  of  Mark 
Palmer,  of  W.  J.  Palmer  &  Son,  which 
won  the  second  prize  in  the  window  dis- 
play contest  of  the  F.  T.  D.  at  the  time 
of  its  convention  last  October.  The 
local  manager  of  the  Western  Union 
Telegraph  Co.,  who  sought  permission 
from  W.  T.  Palmer  &  Son  for  the  use 
of  the  display,  is  enthusiastic  about  its 
educational  value  and  says,  "This  is, 
without  a  doubt,  the  most  novel  idea  to 
show  the  speed  of  telegraphy  that  has 
come  to  my  notice." 


DAVENPORT,  R.  ISLAND,  MOUNE. 


The  Market. 

Thanksgiving  trade  lacked  the  spirit 
and  snap  of  a  year  ago  and,  though  a 
f  ow  of  the  trade  reported  good  business, 
on  the  whole  it  was  disappointing,  espe- 
cially with  the  retailers.  The  whole- 
salers fared  somewhat  better.  There 
were  plenty  of  flowers.  Chrysanthe- 
mums and  pompons  were  in  big  supply 
and  of  good  quality,  with  ei^ough  roses 
for  the  demand,  while  carnations,  sweet 
peas  and  Paper  Whites  were  to  be  had. 
Potted  plants  were  slow  sellers.  The 
average  for  the  month  was  satisfactory 
and  showed  a  good  volume  of  business.

to  grow  flowers  for  the  Eochester  mar- 
ket, also  vegetables  and  plants  in 
season. 

Anderson,  Ind. — William  Klus  recent- 
ly suffered  a  loss  estimated  at  $3,500 
when  the  heating  system  in  his  green- 
house failed  to  work  and  thousands  of 
mums  were  frozen. 

Willlamsport,  Pa.  —  The  Collins- 
Bhoades  Co.  has  been  organized  by  H.  C. 
Collins  and  B.  D.  Bhoades  and  has  taken

the  Williamsport  Floral  Co. 

Helena,  Mont. — During  the  "Say  It 
with  Flowers"  week  in  this  city  No-

ucts to  his  raising  of  cattle  and  hogs. 

Lincoln,  Neb. — Frey  &  Frey  report 
that  business  has  been  excellent  from 
the  start  of  the  season,  with  prospects 
for  a  big  Christmas,  as  all  growers  here 
have  fine  lots  of  plants  and  promise  for 
good  cuts  of  roses  and  carnations. 

Blackwell,  Okla.— The  Hart  Floral  Co. 
recently  had  a  disastrous  "fire,  which  de- 
stroyed the  office  and  most  of  the  busi- 
ness records,  the  workroom  and  part  of 
a  greenhouse,  together  with  about  half 
the  stock.    Reconstruction  is  under  way. 

Minneapolis,  Minn.  — The  Lakewood

Dunbarr,  has  been  improved  by  the  in- 
stallation of  two  new  pressure  boilers 
and  by  the  tearing  down  of  two  small 
houses  to  make  room  for  one  house  of 
modern  construction. 

Sioux  City,  la.— The  Growers'  and  Re- 
tailers' Association,  of  which  A.  Albert, 
superintendent  of  the  J.  C.  Rennison 
Co.,  is  president,  will  hold  its  next  meet- 
ing December  15.  This  association  was 
formed  October  20  of  this  year  at  the

to  bring  about  better  growing  condi- 
tions and  closer  cooperation  within  the 
trade.

G.  Albrecht. 

Anderson,  Ind. — J.  S.  Stuart  &  Son 
gave  their  thirty-first  annual  flower 
show  November  13  to  15.  The  plants 
and  mums  exhibited  were  excellent. 
The  weather  was  favorable  and  the  at- 
tendance large.  Both  visitors  and 
hosts  were  well  pleased  with  the  show. 

Darby,  Pa. — The  dwelling,  store  and 
greenhouses  of  Mrs.  J.  Carroll,  Eleventh 
street  and  Cedar  avenue,  were  destroyed 
by  fire  November  19.  The  store  was  on 
the  first  floor  of  the  2-story  brick  dwell- 
ing, to  which  were  attached  the  two 
greenhouses;  in  one  of  these  the  fir<?  is 
believed  to  have  started. 

Madison,  N.  J. — John  F.  Piper,  fore- 
man for  the  C.  H.  Totty  Co.,  saileil

diploma,  and  other  large  firms  where  he 
served  his  apprenticeship. 

Mansfield,  O. — This  is  proving  an  ex- 
ceptionally good  season  for  Stuhldreher 
Bros.  At  the  greenhouses  at  Cline  street 
and  Lexington  avenue,  where  George  H. 
and  Leo  D.  Stuhldreher  are  busy,  stock 
is  coming  along  nicely,  but  not  fast 
enough  to  meet  all  the  needs  of  the  store 
at  32  West  Fourth  street,  where  Clar- 
ence H.  Stuhldreher  is  manager. 

Akron,  O. — A  3-story  building  with  a 
conservatory  is  being  erected  at  283 
South  Main  street,  for  Grossberg  & 
Cahill,  who  are  soon  to  open  an  up-to- 
date  retail  flower  store,  the  opportu- 
nities for  another  florist  being  thought 
better  here  than  in  any  other  manufac- 
turing city  in  the  United  States.  A 
contract  has  been  made  with  the  A.  L.

merly operated  by  Mr.  Souder  in  the 
Rorabaugh-Wiley  ouilding.  Mr.  Souder 
will  confine  himself  entirely  to  growing 
flowers,  most  of  his  output  being  used 
by  Mr.  Smith.  A  joint  advertisement 
of  more  than  two-thirds  of  a  page  an- 
nounced the  change  of  ownership  in  the 
Hutchinson  News  November  11. 


Charleston,  S.  C. — T.  T.  Bolger  has  re- 
cently been  featuring  in  his  store  an 
attractive  display  of  large  chrysanthe- 
mums, brought  there  from  the  flower

where  he  is  starting  business  under  the 
name  of  the  Westmoreland  Greenhouses. 
J.  W.  Scharfenberg  is  manager  and 
Nettie  C.  Giddings  is  store  manager  and 
designer. 

Grinnell,  la.— The  Kemble  Floral  Co., 
which  has  a  chain  of  stores  and  green- 
houses in  various  Iowa  towns,  has  been 
making  extensive  improvements  in  the 
Hazelwood  Greenhouse.  Paul  Kinsman, 
who  is  in  charge  of  the  Hazelwood 
Greenhouse,  was  with  the  Kemble  Flo-

MIDGE  ON  MUMS. 

We  are  sending  you  some  mum  cut- 
tings. Please  tell  us  what  is  the  trouble 
with  them  and  what  is  the  remedy  for 
the  trouble.  Will  thev  do  for  cuttings 
for  next  year?  M.  &  B.— N.  C. 

The  chrysanthemum  cuttings  are  so 
badly  infested  with  midge  that  the  best 
thing  that  I  can  suggest  is  to  destroy 
the  plants  and  purchase  clean  stock 
from  some  reliable  grower.  These  are 
harsh  measures  to  advise,  but  to  propa- 
gate cuttings  from  this  stock  will  mean 
more  trouble  next  season  and  greater 
loss.  "^'  ■^' 


AGAIN  MIDGE  ON  MUMS. 

We  are  sending  you  the  stem  of 
one  of  our  chrysanthemums,  which  are 
affected  with  some  disease  that  we  have 
had  no  experience  with  yretofore.  We 
grew  them  on  ground  bonehcs  this  year, 
contrarv  to  our  usual  cnstoni.  Will  you 
please  inform  us  wlirft  the  trouble  is 
and  whether  it  will  be  advisable  to  use 
anv  of  the  stock.  K.  M.  J.— Wis. 


The  chrysanthemums  are  badly  af- 
fected by  niidgo,  which  when  once  it 
gets  into  the  stock  is  difiicult  to  ext-^r- 
minato.  I  would  advise  destroying 
this  stock  and  making  a  fresh  and  clean 
start  by  ])nrcliasing  jilants  from  some  re- 
liable grower  and  isolating  them  from 
the  chrvsantlienium  plants  you  now 
have  on 'the  place,  giving  them  a  clean 
house  and  fresh  soil.  Do  not  treat  tliom 
to  anv  forced  conditions.  M.  P. 


PINK  MUMS. 


Please  tell  me  the  name  of  the  true 
pink  mum  that  is  on  the  market  and 
that  blooms  about  the  same  time  as 
Chieftain  or  Turner.  0.  R.— la. 

I  am  unable  to  say  just  what  variety 
is  referred  to.  There  is  a  lovely  pink 
mum  which  is  being  sold  in  the  stores 
today  and  which  is  simply  Wm.  Turner, 
the  white  variety,  dyed  pink.  This  is 
done  by  dissolving  a  package  of  pink 
dye,  made  for  flowers  only,  in  water  and 
allowing  the  bloom  to  stand  in  it  ten  or 
twelve  hours  and  take  up  the  water 
through  the  stem.  In  this  way  the  pink 
dye  runs  up  into  the  flower  and  a  beauti- 
ful, clear  pink  bloom  is  the  result.     In 


fact,  in  many  places  they  were  selling  it 
as  the  "new  Pink  Turner."  This  may 
be  what  you  refer  to. 

This  year  there  is  a  fine  pink  sport  of 
Wm.  Turner,  which  will  be  distributed 
in  the  spring  of  1920.  This  variety 
would  come  into  bloom  at  the  same  time 
as  Wm.  Turner  and  is  known  as  Mrs.  J. 
Leslie  Davis.  Other  good  commercial 
pinks  that  bloom  at  the  same  time  are 
Nerissa  and  Elberon,  both  of. which  are 
excellent,  and  if  you  have  not  grown 
them  you  should  investigate-  them.

SOLANUMS  DO  NOT  FRUIT. 

I  grew  1,000  Cleveland  cherries  from 
seed  sown  in  February  and  shifted 
them  to  4-ineh  pots  later.  The  plants 
grew  nicely,  but  did  not  have  many  ber- 
ries. They  have  been  in  the  house  for 
some  time  and  the  blooms  that  have 
come  have  dropped  off.  I  have  been  told 
that  the  plants  should  have  been  set 
out  in  the  field  first  and  potted  after 
having  the  berries.  Kindly  advise  me 
in  this  regard.  W.  C.  H. — Pa. 


WESTERN   UNION  USES   WINDOW. 

The  Ellicott  Square  office  of  the  West- 
ern Union  Telegra])h  Co.,  in  Buffalo,  has 
been  taken  for  a  florist's  shop  of  late, 
on  account  of  the  display  staged  in  its 
window.  Thousands  of  passers-by,  it 
is  said,  have  stopped  to  watch  the  big 
circular  bas-relief  map  of  the  United 
States  and  Canada  slowly  revolve,  send- 
ing along  wires  strung  between  cities 
thereon  tiny  yellow  cardboards  labeled 
telegrams. 

This  map  was  the  invention  of  Mark 
Palmer,  of  W.  J.  Palmer  &  Son,  which 
won  the  second  prize  in  the  window  dis- 
play contest  of  the  F.  T.  D.  at  the  time 
of  its  convention  last  October.  The 
local  manager  of  the  Western  Union 
Telegraph  Co.,  who  sought  permission 
from  W.  T.  Palmer  &  Son  for  the  use 
of  the  display,  is  enthusiastic  about  its 
educational  value  and  says,  "This  is, 
without  a  doubt,  the  most  novel  idea  to 
show  the  speed  of  telegraphy  that  has 
come  to  my  notice." 


DAVENPORT,  R.  ISLAND,  MOUNE. 


All  the  solanums,  or  Jerusalem  cher- 
ries, as  they  are  more  popularly  called, 
will  grow  and  fruit  much  better  if  plant- 
ed out  during  the  summer  and  then  lift- 
ed and  potted  about  the  middle  of  Sep- 
tember. Any  flowers  which  might  set 
on  your  plants  at  this  late  date  would 
be  of  little  value.  I  have  tried  pot- 
grown  solanums,  but  have  obtained  so 
much  better  results  when  they  are  grown 
outdoors  from  May  15  to  September  15 
that  I  have  entirely  restricted  myself 
to  field-grown  plants  for  some  years. 
Give  the  plants  a  soil  not  too  rich,  or 
they  will  become  of  unwieldy  size.  My 
outdoor  stock  always  has  berried  heavily 
and  a  little  shade  and  spraying  after  lif t- 


The  Market. 

Thanksgiving  trade  lacked  the  spirit 
and  snap  of  a  year  ago  and,  though  a 
fow  of  the  trade  reported  good  business, 
on  the  whole  it  was  disappointing,  espe- 
cially with  the  retailers.  The  whole- 
salers fared  somewhat  better.  There 
were  plenty  of  flowers.  Chrysanthe- 
mums and  pompons  were  in  big  supply 
and  of  good  quality,  with  enough  roses 
for  the  demand,  while  carnations,  sweet 
peas  and  Paper  Whites  were  to  be  had. 
Potted  plants  were  slow  sellers.  The 
average  for  the  month  was  satisfactory 
and  showed  a  good  volume  of  business.

Lovell,  Wyo. — Mrs.  John  A.  Green  has

being  erected.

The  weather  was  favorable  and  the  at- 
tendance large.  Both  visitors  and 
hosts  were  well  pleased  with  the  show. 

Darby,  Pa. — The  dwelling,  store  and 
greenhouses  of  Mrs.  J.  Carroll,  Eleventh

better  here  than  in  any  other  manufac- 
turing city  in  the  United  States.  A 
contract  has  been  made  with  the  A.  L.

EESULTS. 

We  give  them.    You  get  them. 

We  both  have  them. 

Pot  plants  for  Christmas  are  snapped 
up  when  and  where  available. 

Peophbtic  vision  is  not  needed  to  see 
large  profits  in  the  coming  holidays. 

One  of  the  necessary  qualifications  of  a 
florists'  helper  now  is  ability  to  drive  a 
ford. 

Production  costs  prohibit  liberal  mar- 
gins and  careful  management  is  needed  to 
return  an  adequate  percentage  of  profits. 

Collections  are  not  so  hard  as  they 
have  been  in  some  other  seasons,  but  they 
will  Dear  systematizsd  watching  just  the 
same. 

Lack  of  fuel  and  the  customary  holi- 
day pressure  will  reduce  train  service 
after  mid-December.  Supplies  for  the 
holidays  should  be  obtained  now. 

Novelties  are  slow  in  appearing  after 
war-time.  Perhaps  two  or  three  years 
will  be  required  for  resumption  of  raising 
new  varieties  on  the  former  sc-ale. 

C.  L.  Washburn  says  that  the  trade  as 
a  body  has  learned  the  power  of  adver- 
tising just  as  it  becomes  necessary  to  re- 
double our  efforts  to  sell  our  merchandise. 
We  predict  that  the  volume  of  florists' 
advertising  will  increase  for  many  years. 

The  October  number  of  the  S.  A.  F. 
Journal  has  been  delayed  by  the  printers' 
strike  in  New  York  city.  The  issue, 
which  has  now  been  sent  to  members, 
contains  the  third  installment  of  the 
Detroit  convention  proceedings  and  pub- 
licity campaign  articles. 

It  is  asked  by  those  responsible  for  the 
advertisement  of  the  song,  ' '  Say  It  with 
Flowers, ' '  which  appeared  in  The  Review 
for  November  27,  that  it  be  stated  that 
the  name  of  the  publisher  should  have 
been  Artnuisic,  Inc.,  instead  of  Broad- 
way Music  Corp.,  as  the  ad  writer 
made  it. 

Most  florists  have  their  Christmas 
boxes  now  in  stock,  but  will  be  compelled 
to  replenish  the  supply  right  after  the 
rush.  They  may  find  difficulty  in  getting 
what  they  want  and  are  almost  certain 
to  find  prices  higher,  because  one  of  the 
first  effects  of  the  coal  strike  has  been 
to  close  the  boxboard  mills.  Manufac- 
turers of  boxes,  of  course,  have  more  or 
less  stock  on  hand. 


HOLIDAY  HAS  BUMPER  SALES. 

Thanksgiving  business  is  generally 
reported  to  have  surpassed  previous 
records  for  the  holiday.  Here  and  there 
florists  state  that  sales  were  not  up  to 
expectations,  but  from  others  come 
glowing  assertions,  such  as  that  Thanks- 
giving sales  exceeded  those  of  previous 
years  by  fifty  per  cent,  that  they  rivaled 
Christmas  and  Easter  records  for  other 
seasons,  that  the  limit  of  business  was 
imposed  by  the  supply  of  stock  rather 
than  the  ability  to  sell  it.  As  The  Re- 
view predicted,  the  people  of  the  United 
States,  in  celebrating  a  prosperous" 
Thanksgiving,  spent  more  liberally  than 
before  for  flowers. 

To  the  forehanded  florist  there  is  a 
tip  in  these  reports,  for  they  augur  what 
is  in  store  for  Christmas  and  New 
year's.  "If  I  had  anticipated  such 
business,"  says  a  florist,  "I  could  have 
been  prepared  and  made  more  money." 
Post-mortems  are  not  profitable  in  the 
business  world  unless  they  supply  a 
lesson  to  be  heeded  in  future.  The  moral 
of  the  Thanksgiving  sales  is  that  florists 
should  form  preparations  fully  adequate 
for  the  coming  holidays.  Buying  in 
luxury  lines  is  heavy;  Christmas  will  be 
extravagantly  celebrated  this  year; 
flowers  will  be  in  strong  demand. 

OET  YOmt  SUPPLIES. 

Paradoxical  as  it  may  sound,  the  coal 
shortage  may  affect  retailers  more  se- 
riously than  the  growers.  The  latter, 
as  a  whole,  have  adequate  stocks  of  coal 
to  insure  continued  production  of  flow- 
ers despite  the  miners '  absence  from  the 
pits.  The  former,  however,  face  pros- 
pects of  further  rising  of  already  high 
prices  on  supplies  and  even  the  possi- 
bility of  curtailment  altogether. 

Manufacturers  of  the  supplies  the  re- 
tail florist  needs  to  carry  on  business 
are  not  held  "essential  to  the  urgent 
needs  of  the  people"  when  the  fuel  ad- 
ministration doles  out  coal.  Makers  of 
box  board  used  for  florists'  paper  boxes 
have  closed  down,  and  increased  prices 
on  these  are  predicted  as  the  supply  on 
hand  diminishes. 

Other  manufacturing  lines  may  be 
compelled  to  cease  operation  also  as 
conditions  become  more  serious.  The 
critical  state  of  each  industry  varies 
with  location.  Some  states  are  taking 
urgent  measures  regarding  coal  restric- 
tions now.  The  retailer  will  do  well, 
therefore,  to  inquire  as  to  the  continued 
availability  of  his  various  lines  of  sup- 
ply-  

COAL  RESTRICTIONS  TIGHTER. 

Closer  application  of  the  revived  war- 
time rules  regulating  the  distribution  of 
coal  to  industries  followed  the  secession 
of  the  miners'  representatives  from  the 
conference  at  Washington.  The  four- 
teen per  cent  increase  in  wages  proposed 
by  the  administration  was  regarded  by 
the  strikers'  leaders  as  the  last  straw. 
So  they  returned  to  their  homes  to  carry 
on  the  fight  for  their  demands  by  means 
of  the  strike. 

In  some  cities,  such  as  Indianapolis 
and  Kansas  City,  strict  rules  are  now  in 
force,  curtailing  the  number  of  hours 
stores  and  offices  may  be  open  and  other- 
wise affecting  the  trade,  particularly  the 
retailers.  Such  limitations  are  being 
applied  in  other  communities,  where  the 
closing  of  theaters,  clubs,  schools  and 
churches  will  seriously  reduce  the  pur- 
chase of  flowers  for  social  activities. 


Growers  who  have  not  their  necessary 
supplies  of  coal  face  a  severe  situation. 
Already  various  industries  have  been 
crossed  from  the  list  of  those  who  may 
obtain  coal  when  their  present  supply  is 
exhausted.  Of  course,  the  greenhouse 
owner  confronted  with  the  possibility 
of  losing  his  whole  investment  by  freez- 
ing will  no  doubt  be  able  to  secure 
enough  coal  from  the  fuel  administra- 
tion to  avoid  such  loss.  Should  present 
supplies  decline,  however,  to  the  point 
that  public  utilities  need  to  be  restrict- 
ed, there  will  be  little  chance  of  pri- 
vate industries  securing  fuel. 

There  is  a  ray  of  hope  in  the  calcula- 
tions of  government  officials  that  coal 
production  is  increasing.  Last  week 
was,  they  stated,  nearly  flfty  per  cent 
of  normal  in  bituminous  fields.  Should 
the  administration's  measures  to  oper- 
ate the  mines  meet  with  increased  suc- 
cess, the  crisis  may  not  be  so  severe  as 
at  present  anticipated. 


BUILDINa  SUPPLIES  SOABOE. 

The  steel  strike  and  the  present  coal 
miners'  strike,  added  to  the  difficulties 
under  which  most  industries  labor  now, 
have  shortened  the  available  supplies  of 
greenhouse  building  materials  seriously. 
The  fact  that  the  scarcity  comes  at  the 
winter  season  renders  it  less  critical 
than  it  might  be  at  a  more  active  period 
of  the  year.  It  is  hoped  that  the  condi- 
tion is  only  temporary  and  will  alter 
soon. 

Prices  have  been  withdrawn  by  the 
manufacturers  of  glass  and  the  steel 
makers.  The  former  have  been  produc- 
ing under  difficulties  for  some  time,  on 
account  of  the  scarcity  of  capable  work- 
ers and  other  industrial  hindrances.  The 
steel  fabricators  have  not  yet  recovered 
from  the  strike.  The  mills  are  now 
operating  at  from  fifteen  to  twenty  per 
cent  below  the  average  capacity  when 
the  men  went  out.  One  reason  for  this 
is  that  thousands  of  men  during  the 
period  of  enforced  idleness  sought  occu- 
pation in  other  fields  and'  cannot  be 
readily  replaced.  -It  is  hoped,  however, 
that  the  high  wages  paid  by  the  mills 
and  fabricators  will  in  time  lure  them 
back. 

The  fuel  question  at  present  is  more 
vital  and  is  causing  considerable  appre- 
hension. If  a  shortage  of  coal  necessi- 
tates a  rationing  of  supply  to  the  indus- 
tries, it  will  mean  a  serious  curtailment 
of  production,  and  many  thousands  of 
men  will  be  thrown  out  of  employment. 
All  efforts  are  being  made  to  avert  the 
possibility  so  far  as  possible. 


WORKING  OVERTIME. 

You  hear  a  lot  of  talk  these  days 
about  industrial  slackers,  about  those 
who  "lie  down"  on  the  job,  just  be- 
cause skilled  help  is  scarce,  but  Review 
Classified  Ads  still  work  early  and  late 
— no  44-hour  week  for  them.    Like  this: 

In  reply  to  yours  of  some  time  ago  in  regard 
to  a  display  advertisement,  will  say  that  it  looks 
like  I  will  not  have  much  excuse  to  advertise 
at  all,  as  the  little  Classified  advertisement  of 
a  year  ago  seems  to  be  working  overtime  to  beat 
the  band.  I  am  practically  sold  up  on  gladiolus 
bulbs  by  getting  increased  orders  from  last  year's 
customers  and  also  some  new  ones  who  must  have 
referred  back  to  last  season's  copy  of  The  Re- 
view.— C.  M.  Grossman,  Petoskey,  Mich.,  Novem- 
ber 28,    1919.      • 

If  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.

WASHINGTON,  D.  0. 


The  Market. 

The  market  has  been  brisk  since 
Thanksgiving  and  everyone  reports 
business  good.  The  mum  supply  has 
been  good  and  there  is  a  demand  for  all 
stock  available.  Stock  is  all  bringing 
fair  prices.  Out-of-town  business  has 
shown  a  large  increase  in  the  last  two 
weeks. 

Various  Notes. 

All  of  the  local  florists  are  busy  pre- 
paring for  the  Christmas  rush.  They 
have  placed  many  orders  already,  to  be 
sure  that  the  stock  arrives  on  time. 

Fred  Leapley  is  booked  right  up  to 
Christmas  with  wedding  orders.  The 
store  is  attractively  decorated  and  he 
has  a  large  variety  of  seasonable  flowers 
in  stock.  Mr.  Leapley  has  a  fine  icebox, 
which  is  attracting  much  attention;  it 
was  designed  and  built  by  him. 

The  Louise  Flower  Shop  has  adopted 
a  quite  unusual  way  to  deliver  near-by 
orders.  It  is  a  small  automobile  which 
is  propelled  by  the  driver  and  can  carry 
a  number  of  orders  at  a  time.  It  is 
brightly  painted  and  attracts  much  at- 
tention while  making  its  daily  deliv- 
eries. 

J.  A.  Phillips  has  gone  out  of  the  flo- 
rists'  business  and  he  and  his  wife  are 
preparing  to  go  south. 

George  H.  Cooke  has  been  doing  a 
large  amount  of  funeral  work  and  also 
has  booked  a  number  of  go&d  Christmas 
orders. 

George  Prokos,  of  Z.  D.  Blackistone 's 
force,  is  carrying  out  his  plans  for  a 
series  of  impressive  window  displays 
and  the  public  has  been  greatly  inter- 
ested in  the  clever  arrangement  of  his 
work.  Z.  D.  Blackistone 's  store  is 
crowded  most  of  the  time  and  he  has  a 
large  amount  of  work  on  hand. 

George  C.  Shaffer  took  on  extra  help 
to  cope  with  the  Thanksgiving  rush.  He 
has  booked  a  number  of  large  weddings 
for  this  month,  in  addition  to  the  large 
amount  of  funeral  work  which  he  has 
been  doing.

NEW  YORK. 


The  Market. 

Last  week  was  an  eventful  one  for 
the  florists.  The  Thanksgiving  day 
business  was  especially  heavy,  the 
volume  being  much  greater  than  ever 
before  for  this  day,  and  the  prices  of 
flowers  in  all  lines  advanced  materially. 
The  market  was,  with  the  exception  of 
one  or  two  items,  liberally  supplied, 
but  the  clean-up  was  quite  satisfactory. 
Some  late  arrivals  on  Wednesday  after- 
noon fared  less  favorably  than  the 
early  morning  arrivals,  with  a  decline 
in  price,  affecting  particularly  carna- 
tions, which  early  brought  10  cents  to 
12  cents  and  went  down  to  6  cents. 
TherOfWas  also  a  decline  in  violet  prices, 
which  had  been  strong  at  $2.50  to  $3 
per  hundred. 

This  week  opened  with  arrivals  rather 
light  and  prices  strong.  Chrysanthe- 
mums are  shortening  in  supply  and 
prices  are  firm  at  $2  to  $12  per  dozen. 

Boses  are  not  so  abundant  as  they 
have  been  in  the  last  few  weeks  and 
short-stemmed  grades  show  a  marked 
advance  in  values.  American  Beauty 
is  much  less  plentiful  and  the  best  spe- 
cials bring  as  much  as  $1.25  each,  with 
cheaper  grades  in  proportion.  Teas 
and  hybrid  teas  are  also  short  in  supply 
and  prices  much  advanced  in  conse- 
quence; the  shortest  grades  bring  $5 
per  hundred.  Two  or  three  days  of  dull 
weather  have  not  helped  the  rose  situ- 
ation. 

Carnations  are  also  on  the  short  side 
in  point  of  supply  and  the  best  of  to- 
day's arrivals  are  bringing  $10  to  $12 
per  hundred.  The  quality  of  stock  is 
improving  and  some  really  fine  flowers 
are  available. 

Orchids  continue  quite  scarce  and  the 
best  cattleyas  command  $2  each,  with 
some  of  tpe  hybrids  bringing  50  cents 
more.  Spray  orchids  are  especially 
scarce.  Cypripediums  are  fairly  plenti- 
ful, the  insigne  variety  bringing  $4  per 
dozen,  with  Sanderaj  $6. 

A  few  Easter  lilies  are  to  be  had,  the 
price  running  from  $20  to  $25  per  hun- 
dred. Rubrum  are  much  shorter  in 
supply  and  the  price  of  the  best  has 
gone  up  to  $10  per  hundred.  Albums 
are  plentiful  and  hard  to  move  at  $5 
per  hundred  and  less.  Lily  of  the  valley 
is  scarce  and  50  cents  per  spray  is  being 
asked  and  obtained,  although  buyers 
are  vigorously  protesting.  Gardenias 
are  in  good  demand,  but  there  are  not 
enough  to  go  around;  such  as  are  avail- 
able bring  $1  each  and  most  are  sold 
before  arrival. 

White  bouvardia  is  almost  out  of  the 
market,  but  a  good  deal  ef  the  pink  is 
arriving.  Paper  Whites  are  plentiful, 
but  move  well  at  35  cents  to  50  cents 
per  dozen.  Stevia  is  selling  well  at  25 
cents  to  30  cents  per  bunch,  with  select- 
ed stock  as  high  as  50  cents.  Snap- 
dragon arrives  in  small  quantities  and 
brings  25  cents  to  $1  per  bunch.  Sweet 
peas  are  abundant  at  $1  to  $2.50  per 
hundred  sprays.  "Violets  today  move  at 
75  cents  to  $1  per  hundred. 

Various  Notes. 

The  next  meeting  of  the  New  York 
Florists'  Club  will  be  held  Monday 
evening,  December  8,  in  the  club's  new 
quarters   in    the   Engineering   Societies' 


building,  25  West  Thirty-ninth  street, 
between  Fifth  and  Sixth  avenues.  It 
will  be  election  night  and  an  unusually 
large  attendance  is  expected.  A.  M. 
Henshaw  and  I.  S.  Hendrickson  are 
candidates  for  the  office  of  president 
and  the  contest  should  prove  quite  in- 
teresting. 

The  flower  show  committee  will  hold 
a  joint  meeting  with  a  committee  from 
the  American  Eose  Society,  December 
8,  at  the  New  York  Florists'  Club's 
office,  1170  Broadway.  Details  of  co- 
operation on  the  work  of  the  spring 
show  wiU  be  settled  at  this  meeting. 

A.  Kottmiller,  of  426  Madison  avenue, 
had  the  decorating  of  the  ballroom  for 
the  ball  given  November  24  by  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  H.  H.  Rogers.  Oak  trees  of 
considerable  height  were  a  feature  of 
the  decorations.  Chrysanthemums  were 
chief  among  the  floral  adornments  of 
the  big  room,  while  orchids  were  promi- 
nent in  the  centerpieces  provided  for 
the  tables  in  the  supper  rooms. 

Charles  Thorley's  store,  both  interior 
and  exterior,  was  featured  last  week  in- 
a  film  at  the  Broadway  theater,  where 
Elsie  Janis  was  the  star  in  "A  Regular 
Girl." 

A  page  advertisement  in  the  New 
York  Tribune  November  22  and  26  was 
carried  by  the  Associated  Retail  Florists 
of  New  York. 

Miss  Grace  LaRue  is  singing  "Say  It 
with  Flowers"  at  the  Alhambra  this 
week.  C.  C.  Trepel,  of  Bloomingdale 's, 
is  assisting  in  the  floral  decoration.

CHICAGO. 


The  Market. 


Summing  up  the  Thanksgiving  busi- 
ness at  the  end  of  last  week  was  a  most 
satisfactory  process.  Never  in  the  his- 
tory of  the  Chicago  market  has  there 
been  so  great  a  demand  for  flowers  for 
the  feast  day.  Nor  has  there  ever  been 
so  large  a  supply  of  stock.  Almost  with- 
out exception,  every  wholesale  house 
which  caters  to  the  shipping  demand 
had  total  sales  exceeding  last  Thanks- 
giving, and  every  other  Thanksgiving. 
In  many  cases  the  increases  were  phe- 
nomenal. But  it  was  due  to  the  tre- 
mendous supply  of  stock  rather  than 
to  high  prices.  The  supply  turned  out 
to  be  much  larger  than  had  been  ex- 
pected. Where  all  the  flowers  came 
from  is  a  mystery,  especially  because 
nearly  everything  was  of  first-class 
quality.  There  was  so  large  a  supply 
that  it  held  prices  down,  even  though 
the  demand  was  so  great.  Nowhere  in 
the  list  was  there  a  shortage  which  jus- 
tified a  material  increase  in  prides  and 
on  the  whole  values  were  much  below 
those  of  last  year,  perhaps  one-third 
below  on  the  average.  The  greatest 
difficulty  was  experienced  in  getting 
fair  prices  for  the  pompons.  Thanks- 
giving never  saw  half  so  many  of  these 
flowers  in  any  other  year.  They  were 
so  abundant  that  some  of  the  growers 
actually  peddled  their  stock  from  store 
to  store  instead  of  shipping  it  to  a 
commission  house.  The  result  was  that 
the  prices  realized  varied  widely;  on 
this  item  there  was  no  market  basis  to 
guide  either  seller  or  buyer.

"Watch  Us  Grow'* 

'"  The  past  month  was  much  the  largest  November  in  the  history  of  this  organization,  exceeding 
by  about  25%  the  wonderful  record  of  November,  1918.  These  large  and  steady  gains  in 
business  are  possible  only  for  one  fact — 

We  have  the  stock— Quality  and  Quantity 

Day  by  day  new  buyers  are  finding  out,  by  trying  us  out,  that  we  speak  the  literal  truth  when  we  say 
there^is  nothing  to  lose  and  much  to  gain  by  making  this  house  your  steady  source  of  supply.

Mention   The    Review   when   yon   write. 


On  the  rest  of  the  stock  conditions 
were  much  better.  While  the  supply 
was  extremely  large,  the  demand  was 
great  enoufiii  to  take  nearly  everything 
that  was  offered  without  sending  prices 
either  up  or  down.  The  extra  call  was 
least  for  the  longest  grade  of  roses  and 
these  in  many  cases  had  to  be  sold  be- 
low their  true  value.  When  the  ship- 
ping orders  had  gone  out  the  market 
xn  general  was  well  cleaned  up.  City 
trade  did  not  prove  to  be  as  strong  as 
had  been  expected,  probably  largely 
due  to  bad  weather,  and  wholesalers 
who  depend  principally  on  city  buyers 
were  disappointed;  the  call  Thanks- 
giving morning  was  much  less  than  had 
^een  expected  in  view  of  the  great  ac- 
tivity in  the  preceding  days  of  the 
week.     Consequently,  when  the  market 


closed  for  the  holiday  there  was  a  con- 
siderable quantity  of  unsold  stock. 

Most  of  the  retailers  report  a  record 
business  for  Thanksgiving,  in  spite  of 
the  fact  that  many  of  the  wholesalers 
were  disappointed  in  the  volume  of  late 
city  buying.  The  market  conditions 
were  much  more  favorable  for  the  re- 
tailers than  they  were  a  year  ago.  Good 
flowers  were  abundant  and  could  be  had 
at  prices  which  the  trade  has  grown  to 
consider  moderate.  At  the  same  time, 
the  public  was  buying  freely  and  pay- 
ing first-class  prices. 

Since  Thanksgiving,  business  has  con- 
tinued fairly  brisk,  interrupted  by  a 
cold  wave  and  blizzard,  but  comparing 
favorably  with  last  year.  The  supply 
of  chrysanthemums  and  pompons  is  the 
largest  ever  known  after  Thanksgiving. 


While  many  growers  are  cut  out,  others 
will  be  able  to  prolong  the  supply  till 
Christmas.  Beauties  are  not  abundant, 
but  are  fine.  There  is  so  large  a  supply 
of  roses  that  prices  are  maintained  with 
difficulty.  The  longest  blooms  are  most 
difficult  to  sell  if  an  attempt  is  made  to 
realize  their  true  value.  Short  roses 
are  least  abundant.  Practically  every- 
thing else  is  equal  to  the  present  de- 
mand, though  that  is  large.  Carnations 
are  in  greater  request  now  that  the  sup- 
ply of  pompons  is  smaller.  The  price 
has  moved  up  a  notch.  Paper  Whites, 
yellow  narcissi  and  stevia  are  abundant. 
\'iolets  continue  scarce,  but  the  cur- 
tailment of  consignments  from  New 
York  has  drawn  California  stock  here 
in  small  quantity.  There  arc  only  a 
few  sweet  peas  of  good  quality.     Cat-

November  Business. 

At  the  end  of  last  season  few  were 
80  sanguine  as  to  believe  that  it  would 
be  possible  in  1919  to  duplicate  the 
sales  records  of  the  autumn  of  1918. 
But  it  has  been  done.  Quite  a  number 
of  wholesale  houses  did  more  in  Oc- 
tober than  in  the  month  last  year.  No- 
vember has  turned  out  even  better. 
Nearly  all  the  houses  which  cater  spe- 
cially to  the  out-of-town  trade  have 
enjoyed  a  record  business  for  Novem- 
ber. Prices  were  not  nearly  so  high  as 
last  year,  but  the  quantity  of  stock  has 


more  than  made  up  the  difference,  the 
out-of-town  demand  being  the  greatest 
ever  known  during  chrysanthemum 
time. 

The  Fuel  Situation. 

Tiio  serious  turn  in  the  fuel  situation 
has  resulted  in  many  unfounded  rumors 
concerning  the  growers;  none  of  tiiem 
seem  actually  to  be  in  want. 

Nearly  all  the  growers  heeded  the 
many  warnings  last  summer  and  filled 
up  all  covered  storage  space,  while  some 
erected  huge  piles  in  the  open.  At  Plant 
B  of  Poehlmann  Bros.  Co.,  Morton 
Grove,  there  is  a  supply  sufficient  to 
keep  the  whole  place   going  from  two 


to  three  months.  If  cars  stop  coming 
to  Plant  A's  sidetrack,  the  big  6-ton 
truck  will  haul  coal  back  over  the  route 
it  carried  it  last  summer.  Bassett  & 
Washburn  liave  a  month's  supply 
stacked  in  the  open. 

Nearly  all  the  growers  who  had  cars 
in  transit  last  week  have  failed  to  r  - 
ceivc  them;  they  are  not  confiscated, 
but  merely  held  up  awaiting  develop- 
ments. Charles  Bond,  the  Naperville 
orchid  profiteer,  was  in  town  December 
1  looking  for  means  of  getting  a  car  re- 
leased, although  not  yet  in  need,  but 
could  find  no  one  who  would  agree  that 
cattleyas  at  $3  per  bloom  are  an  essen- 
tial.

Amid  all  the  talk  of  confiscation, 
there  seems  little  probability  that  any 
coal  which  has  been  unloaded  will  be 
taken  away  and  it  looks  as  though  all 
the  large  growers  are  safe  for  a  month 
or  two. 

Wliere  There's  a  Will  There's  a  Way. 

November  26  every  express  pick-up 
man  in  Chicago  was  supplied  with  a 
copy  of  the  following  notice: 

EMBARGO  ON  DETROIT. 
Embargo  all  business  for  Detroit  except  per- 
ishable food  products,  live  stock  where  service  is 
arranffed  ahead  of  time,  seeds,  nursery  stock  in 
lota  of  not  ever  300  pounds,  drugs,  medicines  and 
surgical  supplies.  M.  P.  Rugowski. 

When  it  is  considered  that  Detroit 
is  one  of  Chicago's  largest  customers 
for  cut  flowers,  florists'  supplies,  bulbs 
and  plants,  the  importance  of  such  an 
unexpected  order,  on  the  eve  of  Thanks- 
giving, can  be  realized.  The  embargo 
was  maintained  strictly  for  three  or 
four  days,  but  then  its  severity  grad- 
ually was  relaxed.  In  the  first  four 
days  considerable  quantities  of  stock 
were  shipped  to  Ypsilanti,  where  they 
were  met  and  carried  to  Detroit  by 
motor  truck.  When  a  florist  wants  flow- 
ers he  gets  them. 

Ferns  Are  Spoiling. 

There  is  consternation  in  the  ranks  of 
the  storers  of  ferns — much  of  tKft  stock 
put  in  the  warehouse  in  October  already 
is  in  such  condition  that  it  scarcely  is 
worth  picking  over.  A  wholesaier  who 
last  spring  dumped  235^000 'spoiled 
ferns,  after  paying  storage  on^hem  for 
nearly  six  months,  says  the  present  ex- 
perience leads  to  the  belief  that  it  is 
time  to  stop  taking  such  risks,  because 
the  shippers,  having  had  their  pay,  re- 
fuse to  share  the  responsibility  and 
even  seem  to  imply  that  the  losses  are 
exaggerated  in  the  telling.  That  the 
condition  is  not  local,  however,  is  shown 
by  the  condition  of  some  of  the  cases 
now  coming  from  the  first  hands — they 
show  that  they  have  already  been  picked 
over. 

The  probability  is  that  good  ferns  will 
be  worth  real  money  before  spring.

Where  is  there  a  Greenhouse 


establishment  that  successfully  grows  40  to  50  varieties  of 
plants  to  cut  from?  Yet  that  is  just  what  the  CHICAGO 
MARKET  offers  every  day,  IN  and  OUT  of  SEASON,  to  fill 
orders  for  the  retail  florists  in  Chicago  and  in  other  cities. 

The  QUANTITY  and^QUALITY  of  the  stock  is  beyond 
comparison. 

The  EXPRESS  SERVICE  from  CHICAGO  is  the  BEST. 

It  is  because  of  our  large  supply  of  cut  flowers  with  that 
of  the  larger  supply  in  the  market  as  a  whole  that  thousands 
of  retail  florists  operate  a  Retail  Store  without  the  invest- 
ment and  expense  of  operating  a  greenhouse  of  their  own. 

CHICAGO  rightfully  claims  the  distinction  as  THE

Our  OWN^facilities  provide  for  every  emergency.

ployees  of  north  side  growers  have  been 
trying  to  organize  a  union.  The  leader- 
ship has  been  of  the  amateur  variety 
and  without  connection  with  the  recog- 
nized labor  organizations  in  the  vicin- 
ity. Within  the  last  two  or  three  weeks 
there  have  been  several  small  outbursts 
which  have  revealed  the  fact  that  the 
majority  of  the  employees  are  content 
and  have  not  joined  the  "union." 
Where  complaints  were  just,  the  men 
have  been  met  in  a  friendly  spirit,  but 
where  the  aim  seemed  merely  to  take 
advantage  of  temporary  conditions,  the 
agitators  simply  have  been  told  to  move 
on.  As  some  of  them  lived  in  the  em- 
ployers' houses,  moving  proved  less 
simple  than  it  sounded. 

Mr.  Anunann  to  Speak. 

The  Commercial  Flower  Growers  of 
Chicago  will  meet  Thursday,  December 
11,  at  2  p.  m.,  at  the  Randolph  hotel. 
Several  vases  of  the  new  roses  to  be 
introduced  to  the  trade  in  1920  will  be 
on  exhibition.  The  special  subject  for 
discussion  will  be  publicity.  President 
J.  F.  Ammann,  of  the  S.  A.  F.,  and  other 
speakers  of  note  will  address  the  meet- 
ing. All  members  will  find  this  meet- 
ing exceedingly  interesting  and  in- 
structive, and  by  President  Kohout 
and  Secretary  Amling  are  urgently  re- 
quested to  attend. 

November  Weather. 

The  first  part  of  November  was  un- 
usually warm  and  sunny,  so  the  cold, 
stormy  weather  of  the  closing  days  of 
the  month  only  brought  the  mean  tem-

still  three  points  above  normal.  Ex-

the  end  of  the  month,  November  was 
unusually  favorable  for  cut  flower  pro- 
duction. 

Why  Wedding  Work  Is  Booming. 

Many  comments  are'  heard  on  the 
continued  strength  of  the  call  for  wed- 
ding work  and,  particularly,  on  the  way 
florists  in  the  factory  districts  are  buy- 
ing 20-cent  valley  and  3-dollar  orchids. 
But  the  marriage  license  clerk  in  the 
county  building  explains  it  by  offering 
this  record  of  licenses  issued: 

Year                                              Octolx^r  Novem'ber 

1917 2,755  2,848 

1918 1.961  2,080 

1919 3,489  3.600 

"I'll  tell  you  how  it  is,"  said  Joseph 
Stastny,  who  writes  and  stamps  wedding 
permits  from  dawn  till  dark.  "We 
used  to  call  them  'poor  people'  or  the 
'masses.'  Believe  me,  if  the  wealthy 
people — the  millionaires,  the  brokers 
and  bankers — could  see  the  'poorer  peo- 
ple' lining  up  in  front  of  my  window 
every  day  they  would  rush  from  their 
mahogany  offices  and  learn  a  trade. 

"It's  the  working  people  who  are 
lining  up  out  there  and  the  working 
people  today  are  wealthier  than  ever 
before.  Most  of  them  are  young — boys 
from  21  to  25  and  girls  from  18  to  23— 
but  they're  getting  married  and  they 
laugh  when  you  mention  high  cost  of 
living." 

Various  Notes. 

A.  M.  Anderson,  chief  of  the  pur- 
chasing department  of  the  A.  L.  Ran- 
dall Co.,  who  spent  April,  May  and  June 
of  this  year  on  a  trip  to  England,  France 
and  Italy  (Germany  was  not  then  open), 
says  it  will  be  many  years  before  Eu- 
rope can  again  compete  with  America 
on  the  general  line  of  florists'  supplies. 
"There  are  some  natural  products,  like 
ruscus  and  immortelles,"  says  Mr.  An- 
derson, "on  which  Europe  has  a  mo- 
nopoly, but  the  manufacturing  progress 
made  in  America  during  the  war  puts 
the  florists 'supply  trade  in  a  self-reliant 
position;  our  goods  are  moderately 
abundant,  superior  in  quality  and  not 
higher  in  price.' ' 

The  E.  Wienhoebcr  Co.,  on  Elm  street, 
reports  the  best  November  in  the  his- 
tory of  the  concern,  made  so  by  the 
number  of  debutante  affairs  in  the 
neighborhood  of  the  store.     It  is  said

R.  B.  Howe,  of  the  W.  W.  Barnard 
Co.,  has  returned  from  a  fortnight's 
trip  to  the  eastern  holly  district.  He 
says  he  can  see  nothing  to  justify  sell- 
ing holly  below  $7.50  to  $8.  Not  only 
does  it  cost  more  than  ever  before,  but 
the  supply  is  small  and  there  is  a  pos- 
sibility of  a  freight  embargo  which  will 
tie  up  shipping  without  notice. 

Bassett   &   Washburn   have   an   inter- 


esting record  going  back  many  years, 
showing  the  amount  of  space  given  to 
each  variety  of  rose  on  the  place  and 
the  annual  income,  figured  from  the 
total  down  to  the  foot.  With  such  a 
system  the  old  varieties  have  short 
shrift  when  something  better  offers. 
Killarncy  wont  long  ago  and  Brilliant

here  long  after  it  disappeared  from

followed    Richmond    into    the    discard; 


the  only  red  here  now  is  Hoosier  Beauty. 
Shawyer  could  not  stand  the  income- 
per-foot  test  and  White  Killarney  is  in 
danger.  Russell  is  the  leader,  Columbia 
and  Ophelia  following.  Premier,  plant- 
ed for  trial  only,  is  doing  so  well  that 
all  the  wood  will  now  be  used  for  prop- 
agating.

The  Florists^  Review 


Dbcbmbeb  4,  1919. 


Henry  Wietor  has  two  of  them,  so  there 
are  five  good  men  who  can  turn  a  hand 
to  anything  at  the  greenhouses,  when- 
ever a  hand  is  needed. 

O.  A.  &  L.  A.  Tonner,  who  are  con- 
servative in  everything  they  do,  say 
they  count  on  1920  being  an  even  better 
year  than  1919  has  been  for  florists. 

The  American  Bulb  Co.,  having  dis- 
posed of  most  of  its  giganteums,  un- 
loaded two  cars  of  hardy  lilies  Decem- 
ber 1. 

A.  T.  Pyfer  &  Co.  report  the  arrival, 
in  time  for  Thanksgiving,  of  the  first 
pussy  willows  of  the  season. 

Leonard  Kill,  Mrs.  Kill  and  Miss 
Elizabeth  are  with  Henry  A.  Zeuder 
and  family,  adjoining  the  Reinberg 
greenhouses,  until  they  can  get  into  a 
new  home  of  their  own.  After  Mr. 
Kill's  absence  of  ten  years,  his  old 
friends  are  glad  to  see  him  back  in  the 
market. 

Those  who  have  made  the  rounds  of 
the  market  in  years  gone  by  encounter 
a  landmark  when  they  visit  the  new 
Weiss-Spandikow  range  at  Maywood.  It 
is  the  big  refrigerator  which  held  the 
stock  in  the  former  store  of  Percy 
Jones,  Inc.,  now  used  for  cooling  the 
rose  cut  before  shipment. 

W.  W.  Barnard  Co.  received  400  cases 
of  giganteums  from  Japan  December  2. 

The  first  1920  calendar  to  reach  The 
Review  is  that  of  Andrew  Koike,  who 
has  built  up  a  nice  business,  especially 
in  pot  plants,  at  5442  North  Western 
avenue.  His  calendar  carries  a  repro- 
duction in  colors  of  Frank  H.  Desch's 
well  known  painting,  "When  Peggy 
Goes  to  Town." 

Visitors. 

T.  M.  Cahill,  of  Akron,  O.,  was  a 
Thanksgiving  visitor  here.  He  is  of  the 
firm  of  GroBsberg  &  Cahill,  who  are 
about  to  add  zest  to  competition  in  the 
flower  business  in  Tire  Town,  opening  a 
new  store  at  283  South  Main  street. 
Mr.  Cahill  purchased  fixtures,  furniture 
and  supplies.  He  is  well  known  in  Chi- 
cago, having  worked  for  a  number  of 
leading  retailers  here. 

Albert  Barber,  who  has  come  to  be 
known  as  the  Woolworth  of  the  florists ' 
trade,  arrived  from  Cleveland  Decem- 
ber 1,  in  quest  of  things  he  can  sell  in 
his  chain  of  stores. 

Blaine  Wilcox,  of  J.  F.  Wilcox  & 
Sons,  Council  Bluffs,  appeared  in  the 
market  December  1. 

Paul  M.  Palez  is  here  this  week,  look- 
ing as  though  prosperity  extends  at 
least  as  far  as  Little  Rock. 

Martin  Reukauf,  of  Bayersdorfer  & 
Co.,  is  here,  returning  from  the  west. 
He  says  that  if  business  was  any  better 
it  would  be  bad  for  all  of  us. 

J.  W.  Davis,  of  Terre  Haute,  Ind., 
was  a  recent  visitor. 

Ralph  M.  Ward,  who  has  located  at 
Lawrence,  Kan.,  was  here  a  few  days 
ago  and  placed  an  order  with  the  Lord 
&  Burnham  Co.  for  two  iron-frame 
houses  each  40  x  200,  to  go  up  as  soon 
as  possible.

specimen  flowers  in  all  varieties.  Bon- 
naffon  was  in  greatest  demand,  with 
Seidewitz,  Chadwick,  Eaton  and  Dr. 
Enguehard  next  in  order.  All  pompon 
varieties  sold  with  a  rush  at  prices  not 
out  of  reason. 

TheTe  was  a  big  shortage  in  roses, 
although  the  supply  was  good,  consid- 
ering that  the  local  growers  were  off 
crop.  The  many  weddings  caused  a 
heavy  demand  for  white  roses,  which 
were  in  shorter  supply  than  the  colored 
varieties.  The  clean-up  on  these  was 
noticeable  early  both  Wednesday  and 
Thursday.  Carnations  are  also  off  crop 
with  the  local  growers  and  the  demand 
was  much  greater  than  the  supply.  The 
shortage  in  these  helped  to  clean  up 
the  big  supply  in  mums.  The  growers 
expect  to  be  in  full  crop  again  in  roses 
and  carnations  at  the  end  of  the  mum 


season.  Fancy  violets  brought  as  high 
as  $2  per  hundred ;  these,  too,  were  short 
of  the  demand.  Sweet  peas  were  in  big 
demand  and  the  wholesalers  had  not 
enough  to  fill  advance  orders.  Sweet 
peas,  too,  promise  big  crops  after  the 
mum  season. 

There  was  a  good  supply  of  Paper 
Whites,  snapdragons,  stevia  and  calen- 
dulas. Pot  plants  of  any  variety  in 
bloom  sold  well  at  high  prices.  Be- 
gonias, cyclamens  and  mums  were  the 
only  plants  offered;  ferns  did  not  at- 
tract buyers  to  any  extent.  There  was 
a  great  demand  for  wild  smilax  during 
the  whole  week  and  asparagus,  smilax, 
adiantum,  in  fact  anything  in  the  green 
line,  had  a  big  call. 

A  Record  Thanksgiving. 

The  leading  west  end  florists  say  they 


never  experienced  a  better  Thanksgiv- 
ing than  this  year's.  F,  C.  Weber, 
Joseph  Witek,  F.  H.  Weber,  Sanders 
and  John  Boren  had  admirable  window 
displays,  which  repaid  in  good  sales  at 
good  prices.  M.  S.  Newman,  Wald- 
bart's  and  the  Ayres  Floral  Co.  all 
had  a  busy  Thanksgiving. 

Mullanphy  Florists,  Grimm  &  Gorly 
and  Fred  Foster  had  all  they  could  han- 
dle with  an  extra  force. 

Windier 'a  Flowers,  the  Schoenle  Flo- 
ral Co.,  the  Eggeling  Floral  Co.,  the 
Bergstermanu  Floral  Co.  and  Carl  Beyer, 
in  the  south  end,  also  experienced  a 
great  run  of  trade  in  all  lines. 

Vandervoort's  floral  department  dis- 
posed of  an  immense  stock,  as  did 
Young's  and  Ostertag  Bros.  So,  judging 
from    these    satisfactory    reports,    this

The  Market. 

A  street  merchant,  a  courteous  chap, 
stopped  Phil  in  the  wholesale  district 
to  ask  from  whom  he  could  get  violets 
in  California.  When  told  that  the  flow- 
ers would  be  dead  when  he  received 
them,  he  replied,  not  at  all,  that  they 
lasted  fifteen  days  and  that  he  knew 
because  a  man  at  Thirteenth  and  Mar- 
ket streets  had  250  bunches  of  these 
wild  violets  from  California.  Whether 
the  story  was  true  or  whether  it  wasn't 
is  not  the  point.  It  is  told  merely  to 
show  the  condition  of  the  cut  flower 
market.  The  out-of-town  shipping  or- 
ders and  the  orders  from  the  local  stores 
are  using  all  the  flowers,  good,  mediocre 
and  poor,  at  good  prices.  There  are  none 
left  for  the  street  merchants.  All  last 
month  the  chrysanthemums  were  the 
mainstay  of  the  market.  The  mainstay 
is  being  withdrawn  and  there  is  nothing 
to  take  its  place  and  winter  is  here.  To 
make  the  market  condition  even  clearer, 
it  may  be  added  that  many  florists  and 
others  who  have  been  producers  are  now 
consumers.     They  helped  load  the  mar-

cut  out;  so  are  the  pompons,  although 
there     will     be     some     chrysanthemums 
and   some   pompons   for    two    weeks    to

good  florist.  He  often  worked  from  5 
a.m.  to  10  p.  m.,  with  short  intermissions 
for  meals.  He  kept  the  books,  in  addi- 
tion to  his  work  in  the  greenhouses.  He 
received  $1  a  day  and  supported  a  wife

that  the  ordinary  stock  brought  50  cents 
:a  hundred. 

.   --  Now. 

It  is  Frank  M.  Boss  wh6  is  speaking. 
He  is  one  of  our  most  progressive  flo- 
rists of  today.  Better  listen  to  what  he 
is  saying:,  ^'We  have  been  doing  more 
business  this  fall  than  we  did  last  fall, 
in  spite  oi  the  fact  that  last  fall  had 
the  extraordinary  demand  of  the  flu 
and  that  this  fall  we  have  been  rebuild- 
ing one  of  our  three  stores.  People  have 
money  and  they  are  spending  it.  "We  are 
now  buying  fancy  roses  that  we  must 
flell  at  $7.50  per  dozen  and  we  are  sell- 
ing theiii.  Two  years  ago  buying  such 
stock  would  have  been  suicidal.  I  think 
that  the  next  three  months  will  witness 
the  greatest  shortage  of  stock  that  the 
flower  business  has  ever  seen.  No,  I 
do  not  think  that  high  prices  will  se- 
riously hurt  the  business.  We  have  a 
sign  in  our  stores  that  reads,  'Quality 
Is  Remembered- When  Price  Is  Forgot- 
ten.' I  believe  this  and  aim  to  give 
people  a  good  article.  I  think  that  the 
Florists'  Telegraph  Delivery  will  be  a 
great  thing  in  five  or  six  years.  I  ex- 
pe«t  to  keep  right  on  at  it  even  if  I  do 
so  at  a  loss  at' first.  'Few  things  pay  at 
vonce. ' ' 

The  Park  Show — Not. 

Tliere  was  a  trolley  block  that  caused 
fl  long  delay,  so  it  was  almost  dark  be- 
fore Horticultofal  'hall  was  reached, 
away  out  on  BeMontroad — ^so  dark  that 
the  hall  should  have  been  closed,  but 
the  regular  hour  of  5  o'clock  was  still 
thirty  minutes  away.  There  was  no 
show  as  in  pre-war  days.  It  was  just 
light  enough  to  see  that  the  chrysan- 
themum flowers  stood  out  from  among 
the  dark  green  ioliage,  the  whites  and 
yellows  quite  clearly  displayed  in  the 
twilight  gloom.  Many  people  were 
there,  strolling  around  the  big  building 
with  the  same  unconcern  they  would 
have  shown  in  the  daytime,  apparently 
.enjoying  themselves.  Evidently  war 
.economies  had  not  affected  the  big  40- 
year-olders  planted  out  in  the  beds. 
•They  looked  to  be  in  robust  health. 
.Only  the  absence  of  that  wealth  of 
bloom  plainly  told  that  there  were 
, reasons.  The  crowd  showed  as  plainly 
that  a  show  was  desired. 

The  headline?    Why,  it  is  in  the  style 

.of   a   chap   who   always   puts   the   word 

"not"   after    each    sentence   he   utters, 

.conveying    his    meaning    in     negatives. 

(How  do  you  like  it  ? 

The  Rose  Premier. 

E.     Gurney     Hill     usually     selects     a 
^rosarian  of  note  in  this  district  to  test 
Jiis   introductions.      He    is   called    upon, 
:  shown  the  blooms,  invited  to  liichmond, 
Ind.,  to   see  the   novelties  growing  and 
induced  to  plant  them  largely.     The  re- 
.quirements  for  such  a  rosarian  are  that 
:he  be  a   commercial  grower  of  unques- 
tioned ability,  that  he  have  confidence 
-in  the  introducer  and  in  his  introduction 
;  and  that  he  have  nerve  to  take  a  quan- 
tity.    Joseph    Heacock    held    this    posi- 
;tion  of  trust  for  years.    His  mantle  now 
.  appears  to  have  fallen  on  Stephen  Mor-

summer  and  look  aa  though  they  would 
make  a  splendid  record  for  themselves 
by  New  Year's.  From  all  appearances, 
Premier  is  the  most  free-blooming  rose 
of  the  size  ever  introduced.  Its  draw- 
backs— every  rose  has  its  drawbacks — 
appear  to  be  that  it  takes  spot  easily 
and  that  it  is  not  a  good  shipper. 

Mr.  Mortensen  is  to  be  congratulated 
on  the  way  he  has  handled  this  remark- 
able novelty. 

The  rest  of  the  place  looks  well.  Co- 
lumbia is  doing  finely.  One  house 
planted  a  year  and  a  half  ago  is  still 
producing  freely.  It  has  not  been  rested. 
This  variety  is  highly  esteemed.  Had- 
ley,  Russell  and  Ophelia  are  excellent. 
Hadley  is  thought  to  be  at  its  best  in 
its  first  and  second  years,  declining 
after  that.  The  Killarneys,  pink,  White 
and  Brilliant,  are  being  closely  watched. 
They  may  be  dropped  for  some  of  the 
newer  sorts.  They  have  done  well,  but 
every  dog  has  his  day. 

The  orchid  house  and  the  little  cyp 
house  are  features  of  the  place  at  South- 
ampton that  are  extremely  interesting. 
When  Mr.  Mortensen  talks  about  them 
time  has  wings,  so  absorbing  are  the 
accounts  of  their  doings,  their  habits 
and  their  history. 

Various  Notes. 

Joseph  Beavis  &  Son,  of  Limekiln 
Pike  and  Hanes  street,  have  the  most 
wonderful  crop  of  Killarney  roses  for 
Christmas  that  has  ever  been  seen  here. 

Ludwig  P.  Vollers  was  married  to

callas  on  his  place  at  Berwyn. 

Clarence  U.  Liggit  has  been  joined

of  sales  and  prices  it  went  well  ahead 
of  a  year  ago,  even  though  the  influenza 
scourge,  with  its  attendant  death  roll 
and  call  for  flowers,  made  a  large  de-

steady  rain  falling  from  the  evening  of 
November  25  until  Thanksgiving  morn-

dark  and  gloomy.  Chrysanthemums 
were  easily  the  leading  flowers  and  never

Prices  are  well  maintained  since  the 
holiday.  Chrysanthemums  are  rapidly 
waning.  Good  flowers  make  $16  to  $32 
and  a  nice  supply  of  pompons  and  sin- 
gles is  available.  Eoses  continue 
scarce  and  prices  equal  those  made  for 
Thanksgiving.  Carnations  also  sell  well 
at  an  average  of  $6^  some  whites  lower 
and  fancies  higher.  Violets  continue 
scarce  and  those  who  have  sweet  peas 
can  dispose  of  them  at  fancy  prices. 
Bouvardia  is  fine  and  meets  with  a  quick 
sale.  Snapdragons  are  scarce.  Some 
good  mignonette  is  arriving  and  sells 
at  $6  to  $10  per  hundred. 

Yellow  marguerites,  bachelor's  l)ut- 
tons  in  several  colors,  calendulas,  cos- 
mos and  French  marigolds  are  among 
miscellaneous  flowers  coming  in.  Stevia 
is  more  plentiful  and  there  is  a  fair  sup- 
ply of  Paper  White  narcissi.  Callas  sell 
quickly  and  lilies  are  scarce.  Cattleyas 
are  becoming  quite  scarce  and  command 
$18  per  dozen.  Asparagus  and  adiantum 
have  sold  well  of  late. 

An  abundance  of  fine  pot  plants  is  be- 
ing offered,  such  as  cyclamens,  which 
are  easily  the  leaders,  begonias,  so- 
lanums,  oranges,  ericas,  primulas  and  a 
fine  assortment  of  ferns  and  foliage 
plants.  ' 

Orchids. 

A.  C.  Burrage,  of  Beverly  Farms,  is 
rapidly  acquiring  fame  as  an  orchid 
specialist.  On  a  recent  visit  I  found 
several  houses  filled  to  their  limit.  Sev- 
eral new  ones  were  nearing  completion 
and  founrlations  were  being  laid  for  still 
more.  There  arc  already  22,000  plants 
here  and  the  number  is  being  steadily 
increased.  Special  houses  are  devoted 
to  cypripedinms,  odontogloss'ums,  phalse- 
nopsis,  cymbidiums  and  seedlings,  in 
addition  to  the  cattleyas.  Of  these  lat- 
ter there  are  some  magnificent  big 
specimens  and  all  are  in  the  best  of 
health.  Seedling  raising  is  being  gone 
into  heavily  and  within, two  years  15,000 
of  these  will  be  potted  off,  all  crosses 
being  of  the   best  varieties   and   types. 

In  the  near  future  this  promises  to 
be  not  only  the  most  extensive  but  the

choicest  collection  of  orchids  in  Amer- 
ica, and  it  is  worthy  of  note  that  noth- 
ing is  commercialized,  all  flowers  not 
used  by  the  owner  and  his  friends  being 
donated  to  charitable  institutions.  In 
March,  1920,  at  Boston's  big  orchid 
show  the  entire  lecture  hall  of  Horti- 
cultural hall  will  be  filled  with  orchids 
,,,^  this  collection.  Douglas  Ecclestone 
is  superintendent  here  and  such  noted 
growers  as  George  I 'Anson  and  J. 
Pocock  are  included  in  the  slaff. 

A  Plant  Grower. 

The  most  noted  plant  factory  near 
Boston  is  that  of  Thomas  Boland,  of 
Nahant.  There  are  always  eye-openers 
to  be  seen  here,  and  just  now  there  are 
thousands  of  wonderful  cyclamens, 
grandly  flowered,  with  superb  foliage 
just  in  the  pink  of  condition  for  the 
holidays.  It  i.s  a  revelation  to  see  house 
after  house  of  these  grandly  grown 
plants  of  the  finest  Christmas  colors  in 
the  pink  of  perfection  for  the  coming 
great  holiday.  In  one  house  were  to  be 
seen  many  thousands  of  thrifty  young 
seedlings  in  flats  for  1920.  Several 
houses  are  devoted  to  begonias,  princi- 
pally Melior  and  Lorraine,  with  some 
Mrs.  Peterson  and  other  varieties. 

A  house  of  heavily  fruited  orang?a 
showed  how  well  these  popular  Christ 
mas  plants  can  be  grown  at  Nahant. 
Large  numbers  of  Cleveland  cherries 
were  heavily  fruited.  The  newest  and 
largest  house  is  almost  entirely  filled 
with  ericas,  large  quantities  of  beauti-

Triana'  were  in  bud  or  sheath  and  a  fair

which,  in  a  year  or  two,  will  give  Mr. 
Boland  an  imposing  lot  of  these  lovely 
fall  bulbous  subjects.  In  coldframes 
and  elsewhere  were  thousands  of  ram- 
blers and  other  roses,  hydrangeas  and 
other  stock,  which  will  soon  take  the 
space  now  occupied  by  Christmas  plants. 
No  one  interested  in  pot  plants  should 
fail  to  visit  Nahant  and  see  the  grand 
houses  of  plants  Mr.  Roland  has. 

Various  Notes. 

The  Welch  Bros.  Co.  reports  a  much 
larger  Thanksgiving  trade  than  a  year 
ago.  It  is  receiving  large  consignments 
of  roses  and  other  flowers  from  A.  N. 
Pierson,  Inc.,  for  which  firm  it  is  sole 
Boston  agent.  Columbia  and  Premier 
both  prove  popular,  as  well  as  the  newer 
Crusader  and  Pilgrim.  A  fine  lot  of 
cyclamens  from  R.  &  J.  Farquhar  &  Co. 
were  also   noted  here. 

Thomas  Capers,  of  Wellesley  Hills,  is 
sending  in  some  handsome  giant  mig- 
nonette. He  has  a  large  house  of  car- 
nations, principally  Enchantress  Su- 
preme, Matchless,  Benora  and  Beacon. 

Louis  E.  Small,  of  Tewksbiiry,  always 
has  some  flowers  out  of  the  beaten 
track.  He  has  been  a  great  specialist 
in  bachelor's  buttons  under  glass  and 
now  has  fine  flowers  of  these  in  several 
colors.  In  addition  he  has  calendulas, 
French  marigolds,  yellow  marguerites 
and  other  interesting  flowers. 

John  A.  Nelson,  of  Framingham, 
never  had  his  carnation  houses  in  finer 
shape  at  this  season  than  now.     He  has

The  Boston  Horticultural  Club  will 
hold  its  December  meeting  at  the 
Parker  House,  with  an  illustrated  lec- 
ture by  the  president,  E.  H.  Wilson. 

At  the  next  meeting  of  the  Gardeners' 
and  Florists'  Club,  December  16,  in  ad- 
dition to  the  lecture,  the  annual  election 
of  oflficers  will  take  place.  There  will 
be  exhibits  of  Christmas  plants  and 
other  features.  The  club  is  planning 
to  hold  a  midwinter  flower  show  in 
February,  and  its  annual  banquet  dur- 
ing the  same  month. 

A  heavy  motor  truck  plowed  into  one 
of  the  greenhouses  of  W.  W.  Tailby,  of 
Wellesley,  November  26,  having  failed 
to  make  a  proper  turn.  Being  driven  at 
a  high  speed,  it  continued  on  its  way 
through  a  good  portion  of  the  house. 
Mr.  Tailby  estimates  his  damage  at 
$3,000. 

Paul  F.  Brigham,  of  Westboro,  had 
the  finest  Seidewitz  mums  I  saw  for  the 
Thanksgiving  trade.  He  is  also  cutting 
an  excellent  sweet  pea  crop. 

A.  M.  Beckwith,  of  South  Sudbury, 
is  our  newest  carnation  specialist,  this 
being  his  first  season,  and  he  certainly 
is  making  good.  He  has  25,000  plants, 
chiefly  Ward,  Matchless,  Beacon,  Pink 
Delight  and  Benora. 

Donald  Carmichael,  of  Wellesley,  in 
addition  to  his  staple  crop,  carnations, 
has  some  handsome  mignonette  this 
season. 

Alexander  J.  Montgomery,  of  Natick, 
keeps  up  the  record  of  his  late  father, 
Robert  Montgomery,  as  a  successful  rose 
specialist.  He  has  unusually  fine  Rus- 
sell, Columbia,  Double  White  Killarney, 
Hadley  and  Ophelia  and  thinks  Premier 
will  also  make  good. 

November  proved  to  be  a  mild  month. 
The  closing  day  with  a  maximum  of  68 
degrees  was  the  warmest  and  the  mini- 
mum for  the  month  was  20  degrees. 
Rain  fell  on  eleven  days  to  an  amount 
far  in  excess  of  normal.  There  were 
thirteen  clear,  seven  partly  cloudy  and 
ten  sunless  days. 

Harold  A.  Ryan,  of  the  Mount  Au- 
burn Greenhouses,  Cambridge,  is  a  suc- 
cessful grower  of  Strelitzia  Reginaj,  the 
bird  of  paradise  flower,  as  it  is  com- 
monly called,  and  has  a  fine  crop  of 
flowers  at  present.    He  has  fifty  tubs  of

The  Market. 

The  weather  turned  much  colder  two 
days  before  Thanksgiving  and  con- 
tinued cold  all  through  the  week;  con- 
sequently plants  and  cut  flowers  took 
a  great  deal  more  packing  to  keep  out 
the  frost  and  to  get  them  in  first-class 
condition  to  the  customer.  The  Thanks- 
giving trade  was  good,  the  heaviest  day 
being  Wednesday,  although  Tuesday 
was  heavy  on  shipping  orders.  The 
chrysanthemum  stock  was  excellent  and 
sold  well.  Enguehard  was  especially 
fine,  but  the  flower  seems  too  heavy  for 
the  stem  and  easily  breaks  when 
handled.  Yellow  and  white  Chadwick 
■were  fine  specimen  blooms  and  brought 
a  much  better  price  than  any  other  va- 
riety. The  yellows  and  pinks  were  the 
best  selling  lines  and  a  little  lagging 
was  seen  in  the  whites,  owing  perhaps 
to  the  oversupply  of  white  varieties. 
Pompons  in  all  colors  were  plentiful  and 
sold  well.  Koscs  were  good  stock,  with 
no  trouble  to  make  sales.  Long-stemmed 
Russells  were  in  nice  condition  and 
brought  good  prices.  Columbias  and 
Beauties  were  fine  stock.  Cecile  Brun- 
ners  wore  ]'Oor  stock  and  soemed  to  have 
no  color  in  tlifin;  consequontly  Wards 
were  used  more  for  corsage  work.  Single 
violets  were  plentiful  and  a  great  many 
were  used  in  corsages  worn  at  the 
Thanksgiving  festivals.  Carnations 
were  fairly  good  stock,  though  sales 
are  not  so  large  while  pompons  are  to  be 
had.  Good  flowering  plants  were  scarce. 
The  few  cvol.'imciis  and  primulas  that 
were  to  be  had  were  not  much  in  bloom. 
The  few  ])ompons  in  pots  sold  well.  The 
supply  of  greens  was  plentiful.  Paper 
White  narcissi  and  Grand  Soleil  d'Or 
are  nice  stock  and  give  a  little  more 
variety  when  making  bouquets. 

Various  Notes. 

Tlie  Duluth  Floral  Co.  made  a  large 
casket  cover  for  the  Fay  funeral;  it 
was  composed  of  many  hundred  Ophelia 
roses.  With  this  firm  the  Thanksgiving 
trade  was  excellent  and  extra  help  was 
hired.  Many  large  orders  were  shipped 
to  the  range  towns,  which  kept  the  staff 
busy  Tuesday  and  Wednesday;  the  re- 
tail trade  was  (piite  satisfactory.  Fu- 
neral work  was  brisk  all  last  week. 

Business  was  good  with  J.  J.  Le 
Borious  for  Thanksgiving.  His  cut  of 
chrysanthemums  was  at  its  best  and  he 
supplied  most  of  the  florists  in  Duluth 
and  Superior  and  many  mums  were 
shipped  to  the  range  towns.     His  retail

business  was  about  double  that  of  last 
year  and  nothing  is  left  of  his  chrysan- 
themums but  one  house  of  late  varie- 
ties, which  are  not  yet  ready  to  cut. 
He  is  cutting  a  lot  of  Paper  White  and 
Grand  Soleil  d'Or.  Poinsettias  are 
showing  color  and  will  be  in  fine  shape 
for  Christmas. 

William  Japp,  of  the  Lester  park 
greenhouses,  did  a  large  business  in 
potted     plants    for     Thanksgiving     and 


could  have  sold  many  more  had  his  cyc- 
lamens been  more  in  bloom.  He  is  a 
little  too  far  out  of  town  to  expect 
much  retail  business;  consequently  he 
has  to  depend  upon  the  wholesale  trade 
of  Duluth  and  Superior. 

The  Alpha  Florist  made  a  good  show- 
ing of  chrysanthemums  and  roses  for 
the  Thanksgiving  trade.  He  has  large 
show  windows,  in  which  he  made  a  de- 
cidedly effective  display.  J.  E.  S.

NATIONAL  PUBLICITY  CAMPAIGN. 


Aided  Thanksgiving  Trade. 

Reports  generally  as  regards  Thanks- 
giving day  business  are  to  the  effect 
that  it  was  of  record  character.  Never 
before  was  the  volume  so  great.  He 
would  be  dull  indeed  who  would  not 
give  our  publicity  campaign  credit  for 
being  a  factor  in  the  promotion  of  this 
condition.  Our  magazine  advertising 
was  timed  just  right  and  millioas  of 
people  saw  the  splendidly  illustrated  ad- 
vertisements  pertaining   to   Thanksgiv- 


ing. The  importance  of  flowers  in  the 
general  observance  of  the  day  was  em- 
phasized in  the  text  embodied  in  the 
advertisements:  "Let  flowers  express 
your  thankfulness  for  those  friendships 
you  hold  dear.  Send  Thanksgiving  day 
greetings  of  flowers.  Chrysanthemums 
were  never  so  gorgeous,  such  glowing 
tokens  of  prosperity  and  peace,  as  this 
year.  In  fact,  all  flowers  seem  to  antici- 
pate this  season's  wonderful  message." 
Flowers  were  not  cheap — they  were 
really  much  higher  than  usual  at  this 
season — yet  the  public  bought,  and  lib- 
erally.

JOHN   G.    HEINL   &    SON 

All  who  give  thought  to  this  publicity 
are  ready  to  admit  that  it  is  wonderful 
work  we  are  doing,  with  equally  won- 
derful success  resulting,  and  their  prayer 
is  that  we  may  be  able  to  keep  it  up. 

Plans  for  Christmas. 

The  approaching  holiday  season  is 
cared  for  in  the  same  way,  but  on  a 
somewhat  larger  scale.  By  means  of 
colored  pages  and  display  advertise- 
ments the  desirability  of  flowers  and 
plants  for  Christmas  presents  is  sug- 
gested. It  is  something  of  a  new  idea 
for  the  public.  "Say  Merry  Christ- 
mas with  Flowers,"  the  advertisements 
read,  "The  Sweetest  Gift  of  All.  What 
a  world  of  peace  and  good  will  to  all  is 
expressed  in  that  age-old  phrase!  Es- 
pecially when  you  say  it  with  flowers! 
For  every  heart  thrills  to  the  message  of 
radiant  blossoms.  And  their  exquisite 
fragrance  lingers  as  memory's  chief 
charm.  No  thought  so  tender  but  that 
flowers  will  add  to  its  beauty.  No  gift 
so  rare  but  that  flowers  are  more  appro-

priate."  Every  advertisement  carries 
a  paragraph  to  remind  readers  that  de- 
liveries of  flowers  in  distant  cities  and 
towns  are  easily  made  through  the  tele- 
graphic delivery  system  in  vogue  among 
florists  generally. 

Now,  isn't  work  of  this  kind  worthy 
of  your  support,  Mr.  Non-subscriber  I 
Can't  you  see  that  the  more  we  accom- 
plish, the  more  you  benefit?  You  may 
say  to  yourself,  "Well,  conditions  are 
better  and  the  business  would  have  come 
anyway."  Then  on  sober  reflection  you 
must  come  to  the  conclusion  that  you 
are  merely  "kidding"  yourself.  Our 
publicity  is  working  for  you  and  to  your 
great  advantage.  Then  why  should  you 
not  contribute  to  the  cost?  You  are  not 
asked  to  give  more  than  it  is  known  you 
can  afford.  If  every  florist  in  the  coun- 
try were  to  contribute  but  $5,  we  could 
place  our  business  where  it  ought  to  be. 
That  slogan  of  ours,  ' '  Say  It  with  Flow- 
ers," is  invaluable.  What  if  we  were 
obliged  to  stop  its  promulgation?  We 
should  have  something  to  mourn  over.

not  large,  brought  from  $3  upwards. 
Stevia  is  making  its  appearance.  Paper 
White  narcissi  were  to  be  had  for  sev- 
eral weeks,  but  they  did  not  find  a  ready 
sale. 

The  college  football  games  for  several 
weeks  have  created  a  demand  for  mums. 
At  the  Harvard-Princeton  game  blooms 
of  this  popular  flower  sold  for  $2.50  each 
and  were  in  great  requisition. 

Various  Notes. 

There  ai)pcars  to  be  a  general  inclina- 
tion among  the  florists  to  curtail  the 
number  of  hours  which  the  stores  are 
open.  Several  are  in  favor  of  closing 
all  day  Sunday  now  that  they  are  open 
Saturdays  till  9:30  p.  m.  Mr.  Morse,  of 
Morse  &  Beals,  says  that  for  a  consider- 
able period  his  firm  was  only  open  suffi- 
ciently long  to  get  out  stock  that  was 
actually   ordered. 

James  .T.  McManmon  says  that  he 
would  be  happy  to  have  cooperation 
amoMg  tke  florists  to  regulate  prices  of 
stock,  business  hours  and  all  matters  for 
the  general  good  of  all  concerned,  also 
for  th»  iori.sts  of  this  city  to  meet  at 
certain  periods  for  social  evenings. 

Ilarvoy  B.  Green  had  the  decorations 
for  a  large  banquet  held  in  Lowell  last 
week.  This  called  for  the  greatest  num- 
ber of  flowers  that  lias  been  used  for  a 
considerable  time.  This  firm  was  well 
prepared  with  stock  for  Thanksgiving. 
The  greenhouses  are  equipped  with  hot 
water  and  steam  boilers;  in  moderate 
weather  the  hot  water  is  sufficient  and 
can  be  left  for  a  longer  time,  whereas  in 
severe  weather  both  boilers  are  used.

FIGHTING   FERN   FOE. 

[Continued  from  a  previous  paKo.l 
senting  a  decidedly  velvety  appearance. 
The  pupa  is  robust,  of  the  usual  shin- 
ing mahogany-brown  color,  the  posterior 
apex  ending  in  two  minute  outcurved 
spines.  The  wing-pads  are  prominent. 
The  length  is  five-eighths  inch,  and  the 
width  about  half  that. 

Its  Life  and  Habits. 

July  10,  1907,  this  caterpillar  was  re- 
ported as  a  pest  in  the  vicinity  of  Or- 
lando, Fla.,  where  it  was  attacking  the 
fronds  of  potted  maidenhair  ferns.  It 
was  rioticed  that  the  larvaj  usually  fed 
at  night,  although  sometimes  found 
feeding  during  the  day.  They  concealed 
themselves  in  the  daytime  at  the  base 
of  the  ferns  or  were  found  resting  low 
on  the  stems,  and  they  appeared  to  have 
a  habit  of  crawling  up  the  stem  and 
eating  oflf  several  leaflets  on  one  side, 
thus  spoiling  the  beauty  of  the  plants. 
The  larva;  observed  began  to  transform 
to  pupa;  August  1. 

During  September  of  the  same  year 
several  growers  at  Anacostia,  D.  C. 
made  complaint  that  this  caterpillar  was 
injurious  to  several  species  of  ferns  in 
greenhouses.  September  24  a  govern- 
ment entomologist  was  detailed  to  ob- 
tain additional  specimens  and  make  ob- 
servations on  the  habits  of  the  insect 
and  the  conditions  of  the  greenhouses 
Larva;  were  obtained  in  different  stages

chiefly  between  half-grown  and  nearly 
grown  specimens.  They  were  feeding  in 
the  afternoon  on  the  upper  surface  of 
the  leaves.  The  usual  method  of  attack, 
as  observed,  consisted  in  biting  off  the 
midrib  leaf  one-half  to  one-third  the 
way  up.  Maidenhair  or  adiantum  ferns 
were  attacked  either  by  biting  off  the 
leaflets  at  the  tips  of  the  fronds  or  by 
biting  off  the  entire  frond  about  one 
inch  above  the  ground.  The  majority  of 
the  larvae  observed  were  resting  either 
near  the  tip  of  the  frond  of  the  midrib 
or  were  concealed  in  the  stems  at  the 
base  of  the  plant. 

An  All-the-Year  Pest. 

An  entire  house  of  adiantums  had  been 
completely  stripped  of  the  leaves  by  the 
larva;,  and  one  grower  stated  that  his 
fern  crop  had  been  damaged  to  the  ex- 
tent of  $1,000.  It  was  stated  that  the 
larvaj  would  cut  the  plants  entirely  bare, 
and  each  new  leaf  would  be  attacked  by 
two  or  three  larvae  as  soon  as  it  ap- 
peared. The  same  grower  stated  that 
these  worms  had  troubled  his  ferns  the 
previous  year  and  that  larva;,  pupae  and 
imagos  were  seen  throughout  that  win- 
ter and  preyed  on  the  ferns  the  whole 
year. 

The  larva  spins  a  loose  cocoon  by 
drawing  together  dead  leaves  and  parti- 
cles of  earth  next  to  the  ground.  It  some- 
times draws  together  green  leaves  to  spin 
the  cocoon.  Though  not  strictly  a  noc- 
turnal feeder,  it  shuns  bright  light  and  is 
most  often  found  feeding  exposed  in  the 
early  morning. 

The  moth  is  seldom  seen  by  day  and 
when  aroused  it  usually  flies  down  under 
the  benches  to  seclude  itself.  Thus 
many  moths  are  caught  in  spider  webs 
that  abound  in  dark  corners  in  the  green- 
houses. 

The  caterpillars  seem  to  do  the  great- 
est damage  early  in  the  year,  especially 
during  May,  but  owing  to  the  uniformly 
warm  temperature  of  the  greenhouses, 
winter  as  well  as  summer,  there  is  no 
time  when  they  are  scarce  enough  to  al- 
low the  ferns  "to  put  out  a  full  head  of 
fronds.  They  attack  the  tender  leaves 
especially  the  growing  tips  of  young 
fronds,  thus  checking  any  attempt  on 
the  part  of  a  plant  to  replenish  the  dy- 
ing fronds  with  a  new  growth,  and  so 
far  stunting  it  as  to  render  it  of  no  com- 
mercial value.

TWO  STORES [ 

SPLENDID  SERVICE 


From  larvae  obtained  in  September  the 
moths  began  to  issue  October  26,  con- 
tinuing to  emerge  until  November  19. 
The  pupal  stage  was  ascertained  to  be 
iu  three  cases  twenty-three,  twenty-five 
and  twenty-seven  days,  respectively,  in 
cool  October  weather. 

Tests  "With  Various  Poisons. 

In  January,  1910,  the  caterpillar  was 
reported  to  be  a  serious  pest  on  green- 
house ferns  in  Illinois.  The  twenty- 
seventh  report  of  the  state  entomologist 
of  Illinois,  dated  1912,  mentioned  in- 
jury to  ferns  near  Chicago,  and  stat- 
ed what  had  already  been  learned, 
that  arsenicals  can  not  be  applied  to 
ferns  in  sufficient  strength  to  kill  this 
so-called  cutworm,  because  they  are 
likely  to  adhere  to  the  surface  in  such  a 
way  as  to  make  it  difficult  to  handle  the 
plants. 

Many  remedies  were  tried  by  the  grow- 
ers at  Anacostia.  Naturally,  says  the 
frovernment  bulletin,  some  of  these  reme- 
dies, which  were  not  advised  by  ento- 
mologists, did  not  produce  the  "desired 
efifect. 

One  grower  sprayed  his  entire  crop 
with  a  strong  decoction  of  hellebore. 
This  was  successful  in  driving  away  the 
larvfp,  but  it  scalded  the  foliage  of  the 
ferns  so  badly  that  many  of  the  plants 
died.  He  was  advised  to  use  arsenate 
of  lead.  This  same  grower  employed  a 
bait  of  poisoned  bran  and  molasses, 
about  as  advised  for  cutworms,  but  with- 
out material  effect,  the  caterpillars  pre- 
ferring the  ferns. 

Fumigation  with  carbon  disulphide 
was  tried,  but  was  said  to  be  of  no  avail 
in  the  destruction  of  this  pest.  In  the 
same  greenhouse,  strips  of  cloth  were 
saturated  with  carbon  disulphide  and 
placed  on  the  ground  about  the  plants,

but  although  this  remedy  -nas  sometimes 
.successful,  it  was  iiot  eutirely  reliable, 
since  the  caterpili.ars  had  necessarily  to 
be  where  they  would  receive  the  fumes 
if  they  were  to  succumb. 

Controlled  by  Hand-Picking. 

The  laboriou.s,  but,  if  j)roperly  pur- 
sued, effect ive  remedy  of  combating  the 
insect  by  hand  measures  was  employed 
by  numerous  growers.  One  of  these  re- 
ported that  the  numbers  of  the  cater- 
pillar ha<l  been  materially  reduced  by 
hand-picking  and  poisoning.  Another 
grower  made  a  practice  of  going  over  the 
ferns  every  day  and  picking  off  all  the 
caterpillars  that  could  be  seen,  thus 
reducing  the  numbers  of  the  pest  in  liis 
greenhouse.  It  seemed  to  be  the  general 
opinion  that  the  average  grower  would 
obtain  the  best  success  by  hand  methods, 
one  of  the  best  methods  consisting  of 
shaking  each  individual  plant  over  the 
ground  and  trampling  upon  the  cater- 
pillars as  tliev  fall. 

Arsenate  of  load  was  advised,  and  a 
government  entonudogist  was  detailed  to 
an  infested  greenliouse  where  this  rem- 
edy was  employed,  to  determine  the  ex- 
tent of  injury  and  to  advise  measures 
for  the  possible  extermination  of  the 
worms.    On  his  arrival  he  was  informed

that  several  thousand  had  been  hand- 
picked  from  the  ferns  a  day  or  two  be- 
fore and  that  over  200  had  been  picked 
from  a  space  only  five  feet  square.  The 
plants  had  also  been  sprayed  with  ar- 
senate of  lead  at  the  rate  of  two  and 
one-half  pounds  to  fifty  gallons  of  water, 
applied  twice,  but  the  final  result  was 
not  reported.  Some  of  the  growers  com- 
plained that  lead  arsenate,  when  used  in 
a  solution  strong  enough  to  kill  the 
caterpillars,  would  at  the  same  time 
leave  a  white  deposit  on  the  plants 
which  destroyed  their  commercial  value. 
Owing  to  the  delicacy  of  ferns,  a  spray 
of  Paris  green  strong  enough  to  kill  the 
caterpillars  would  also  burn  the  foliage. 
Paris  green,  properly  combined  with 
Bordeaux  mixture,  should  not  produce 
this  effect. 

Some  of  the  local  growers  were  ad- 
vised by  a  government  entomologist  to 
fumigate  with  hydrocyanic  acid  gas,  but 
it  was  not  tried,  so  far  as  can  be  learned. 
If  fumigation  by  this  method,  says  the 
entomologist,  were  employed  several 
times  at  about  the  time  when  the  insects 
are  hatching  from  the  egg,  or  undergoing 
their  molts,  it  should  assist  materially 
in  reducing  the  numbers  of  the  pest. 


BALTIMORE. 


The  Market. 

The  market  last  week  was  short  on  all 
lines  of  stock.  Mums,  which  had  been 
the  mainstay  of  the  market  for  several 
weeks,  were  scarce,  even  in  the  best 
varieties.  Medium-sized  stock  was 
quite  scarce  and  small  stock  was  not 
any  too  plentiful.  The  Thanksgiving 
rush  was  responsible  for  this,  as  every 
wholesale  house  was  up  on  everything 
it  could  get  for  the  holiday. 

Roses  are  still  off  crop  and  now  that

the  mum  crop  is  nearing  an  end  more 
could  be  used.  Those  coming  to  the 
market  are  of  fine  quality.  Double 
White  Killarney  is  especially  fine,  as  are 
also  Premier  and  Columbia.  Carnations 
are  still  on  the  short  side  and,  owing  to 
the  general  shortage  of  stock,  are 
cleaned  up  as  fast  as  they  conic  in. 
Sweet  peas  and  violets  were  ,it  a 
l>remium,  owing  to  the  demand  for  cor- 
sage work.  In  this  line  the  demand  was 
much  greater  than  the  supply;  in  fact, 
when  we  sum  up  the  market  for  last 
week  the  demand  in  all  lines  of  s;ock 
was  greater  than  tlie  suj>ply.  But  this 
condition  will  be  only  temporary,  as  the 
mum  crop  is  pretty  well  over  and  other 
lines  which  were  being  held  back  on 
their  account  will  now  be  [lushed  for  all 
they  can  stand,  so  that  the  market  will 
in  a  short  time  be  normal.

with  a  dance  by  the  Harmony  Circle  at 
the  Belvedere  hotel.  This  was  the  first 
function  the  society  has  held  since  be- 
fore the  United  States  entered  the  war. 
This  is  the  occasion  for  their  young 
women  to  make  their  debut.  There  was 
a  large  attendance,  and  it  was  a  most 
successful  affair.  The  floral  decorations 
were  especially  elaborate,  many  palms 
and  cut  flowers  being  used.  Although 
there  were  not  so  many  bunches  used 
at  this  as  at  the  Bachelor's  Cotillion, 
which  was  held  December  1  at  the  Luric, 
every  florist  was  busy  with  bunches  and 
corsage  work.  The  dinner  was  served  at 
small  tables,  the  decorations  being  pink 
and  yellow.  For  these,  great  masses  of 
mums,  roses  and  sweet  peas  were  used. 

A  visit  to  the  retail  stores  Thanksgiv- 
ing eve  found  everyone  going  to  ca- 
pacity; advance  orders  were  reported  by 
everyone  to  equal,  if  not  exceed,  pre- 
vious years.  At  W.  J.  Halliday's  the 
only  complaint  to  be  heard  was  scarcity 
of  stock.  This  store  makes  a  leader  of 
orchids,  most  of  which  are  procured 
from  their  own  range,  and  as  these  were 
not  in  crop  they  found  it  hard  to  secure 
sufficient  to  meet  their  requirements. 

At  John  Cook's  one  heard  the  same 
complaint,  "Good  stock  is  scarce." 
Tills  firm  also  produces  most  of  its  own 
stock.  Since  roses,  carnations  and,  in 
fact,  all  lines  of  stock  which  they  grow 
had  not  as  yet  struck  their  proper  gait, 
it  was  hard  for  them  to  keep  up  with 
tlie  demand.  As  I  stood  talking  to  Miss 
Cook  our  conversation  drifted  to  prices. 
I  asked  if  the  proper  advanced  prices 
were  being  obtained  for  stock  and  if 
there  was  any  trouble  in  securing  them. 
Miss  Cook,  who  is  most  practical,  gave 
me  a  demonstration  which  was  more 
convincing  than  anything  I  have  heard

FRANK  H.  FORD,  Greenhouses 


for  some  time.  There  was  a  large  vase 
of  fine  Seidewitz  mums  near  where  we 
stood.  She  said,  "We  have  sold  many 
finer  flowers  than  these  for  $3  per  dozen 
in  the  past  and  at  that  time  thought  we 
were  receiving  a  good  price.  Now  we 
are  getting  $12  per  dozen  for  these 
mums.  This  is  a  fourfold  increase  and 
the  significant  point  about  it  is,  have 
you  seen  any  of  this  quality  go  to  waste 
this  faUf  Or  take  medium-sized  mums; 
there  have  been  times  when  they  were 
impossible  to  get  and  the  increase  in 
price  has  been  in  proportion  to  these 
larger  flowers.  When  we  get  into  the 
matter,  chrysanthemums  are  only  an  ex- 
ample of  an  lines  of  stock."  Thanks- 
giving was  a  happy  day  in  the  Cook 
home,  for  the  doctors  let  Mrs.  Cook,  who 
has  been  ill  for  some  time,  come  down 
to  her  old  place  at  the  foot  of  the  fam- 
ily table  to  enjoy  dinner  with  the  rest 
of  the  family. 

At  Samuel  Feast  &  Sons'  evervone 
had  all  he  could  attend  to.  This  firm  had 
a  fine  collection  of  blooming  begonias 
and  they  certainly  made  an  attractive 
window  among  ferns  and  jtalms.  In  a 
few  minutes'  conversation  I  managed 
to  get  with  Mrs.  Hill,  she  told  me  that 
between  the  dance  at  the  Belvedere  and 
the  holiday  their  sales  were  beyond  any- 
thing she  had  ever  experienced  on 
Thanksgiving. 

At  Mary  Johnston's  I  was  told  busi- 
ness was  just  a  repetition  of  previous 
years,  except  that  stock  was  scarce  and 
the  Harmony  dance  made  it  harder  to 
meet  all  demands. 

As  I  went  from  place  to  place  and 
heard  about  the  same  thing,  I  could  not 
but  feel  how  like  this  Thanksgivin^r  was 
to  every  occa.sion  where  there  is  alaree 
demand  for  flowers.  Yet  one  never 
heard  of  a  time  when  florists  failed  to 
take  care  of  all  the  business  that  came 
their  way.  But  as  one  goes  about  the 
retail  stores  from  week  to  week,  he  can- 
not  help  seeing  the  rush  is  on.  Christ- 
mas 13  less  than  a  month  off  Stock 
may  be  more  plentiful  for  this  flower 
day  than  it  was  for  Thanksgiving 
There  is  no  doubt  that  increased  demand

TUCSON,  ARIZONA. 

The  Howe  Flower  Shop,  in  the  Stein- 
feld-Pizzini  building  on  North  Stone 
avenue,  reopened  its  doors  Saturday 
evening,  November  15,  after  a  four 
months'  suspension  of  business  to  give 
time  for  extensive  alterations.  Delay 
in  the  receipt  of  building  material  had 
postponed  the  reopening,  which  had 
j  been  scheduled  for  the  middle  of  Sep- 
I  tember.  The  floor,  wainscoting  and 
stairs  have  been  tiled  in  ivory  and  the 
I  upper  walla  and  ceiling  have  been  fin- 
ished in  the  same  tint.  A  circular 
fountain,  with  a  pool  containing  gold- 
fish, is  a  feature  of  the  main  room,  the 
east  end  of  which  is  entirely  occupied 
by  the  glass-fronted  refrigerators  and

The  Market. 

AH  the  trade  is  well  satisfied  with 
Thanksgiving  business.  Retailers  and 
growers  all  cleaned  up.  Business  wjis 
better  than  last  year's.  Good  mums 
will  be  scarce  for  a  few  days,  until 
(Jhadwick  and  otiier  late  varieties  come 
in.  Pompons  are  still  in  quantity  in 
good  selling  varieties.  "Wliite  roses  for 
Thanksgiving  were  scarce,  owing  to  tlie 
number  of  weddings,  wliicli  were  well 
distributed  among  tlit  trade.  White 
niums  were  used  instead. 

Various  Notes. 

George  Bayer  made  a  sliij)meiit  last 
week  to  Detroit  of  6,(t()0  Boniiaffnns  and 
oOO  bunches  of  pomjions.  Kvery  mum 
was  perfect  and  of  good  size. 

Street  cars  are  still  tied  up,  and  in 
the  snow  and  sleet  and  wind  here  the 
last  throe  days  and  the  congested  con- 
dition of  traflic,  several  of  the  trade's 
cars  have  b?en  in  smash-ups.  The  de- 
livery system  .just  now  is  a  problem  with 
some  of  the  florists. 

Max  ypanner  worked  until  3  a.  m. 
Sunday,  November  3U,  so  as  not  to  con- 
flict with  the  Sunday  closing  rule.  Sev- 
eral of  the  other  florists  gave  him  a 
hand.

At  Amherst,  Mass. 

The  winter  course  at  the  Massachu- 
setts Agricultural  (College,  Amherst, 
Mass.,  begins  December  30  and  con- 
tinues for  a  period  of  ten  weeks.  The 
course  offered  in  floriculture  is  designed 
to  furnish  those  who  have  not  the  time 
to  devote  to  a  longer  course  with  the 
theoretical  and  practical  considerations 
essential  to  success  in  floricultural  work. 
The  course  covers  as  thoroughly  as  time 
will  permit  those  aspects  of  the  work 
which  are  of  especial  interest  to  the 
commercial  florist.  Some  of  the  topics 
considered  are  greenhouse  construction, 
greenhouse  management  and  methods 
used  in  growing  important  commercial 
crops.  Part  of  the  course  will  also  be 
devoted  to  a  consideration  of  garden- 
ing and  garden  flowers.  Special  trips 
are  taken  to  inspect  various  ranges  in 
Massachusetts.  Courses  in  soils,  plant 
diseases  and  insect  pests  accompany  the 
work  in  floriculture. 

Further  information  concerning  the 
course  may  be  obtained  by  writing  for 
an  announcement   either  to  the  depart-

The  Market. 

Thanksgiving  brought  splendid  busi- 
ness, probably  surpassing  that  of  any 
previous  season  in  tlio  history  of  the 
trade.  While  a  few  of  the  smaller  firms 
did  not  find  trade  quite  up  to  their  ex- 
pectations, these  minor  disappointments 
were  undoubtedly  duo  to  the  weather 
for  two  days  before,  whicli,  because  of 
a  steady  downpour  of  rain,  could  not 
have  been  worse.  Prices  lield  firm  and 
have  continued  so. 

Chrysanthemums  are  just  about  done, 
but  there  are  plenty  of  tlie  later  blooms 
to  take  their  j)lnfe.  Paper  White  nar- 
cissi of  fine  <)uality  are  coming  in  and 
selling  quickly  at  $6  i)er  hundred.  Here 
and  there  the  retail  trade  is  handling 
the  so-called  Christmas  flowers,  primulas, 
cyclamens  and  the  earlier  pink  Mexican 
poinsettias. 

Various  Notes. 

In  the  heart  of  downtown  Cincinnati 
the  McCallum  Co.  has  established  a 
branch  store,  which  is  under  the  man- 
agement of  Frank  T.  Smith.  Mr.  Smith, 
who  was  formerly  in  the  paper  box  busi- 
ness in  Cincinnati,  was  coached  by 
George  C.  McCallum,  who  wont  there 
for  the  purpose. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Charles  F.  Edgar,  who 
have  been  on  the  road  for  the  McCallum 
Co.  for  the  last  two  months,  have  re- 
turned to  the  city  to  remain  until  after 
the  holidays.

year  or  more,  was  quietly  married  to 
George  W,  Bentley  Tuesday,  November 
18,  at  the  home  of  the  bride's  mother, 
Mrs.  Anne  E.  Houtz.  The  young  cou- 
ple expect  to  go  into  housekeeping 
shortly,  although  Mrs.  Bentley  will  re-

H.  Z.  Malo  was  a  recent  visitor  in  the 
city,  representing  Leo  Heuman,  the  Chi- 
cago importer  and  mills  agent. 

John  Murchie,  of  Sharon,  was  a  wel- 
come visitor  in  town  last  week,  calling 
upon  trade  friends  with  whom  he  has 
been  associated  during  the  last  forty 
years.  Although  Mr.  Murchie  has  been 
active  in  business  for  sixty  years,  it 
has  been  by  no  means  a  life  of  all  work 
and  no  play,  and  his  real  object  in  com- 
ing to  Pittsburgh  last  Saturday  was  to 
see  the  big  football  game. 

James  J.  Higgina  is  arranging  to  es- 
tablish a  center  for  the  A.  L.  Randall 
Co.,  of  Chicago,  at  Harrisburg  the  first 
of  the  year,  and  to  this  end  will  add  two 
assistants  to  his  staff,  which  now  com- 
prises Norbert  Huttinger  and  Hugh  Pot- 
ter. 

Randolph  &  McClements  had  a  most 
effective  wedding  decoration  for 
Thanksgiving  eve,  with  white  and  nile 
green  as  the  dominating  color  note.  The 
bride's  bouquet  was  formed  of  cypripe- 
dium,  dendrobium  and  vanda  orchids, 
lilies  of  the  valley  and  Farleyense  ferns, 
caught  with  white  satin  and  maline.  In- 
stead of  the  customary  shower  attached 
to  the  ribbon  was  a  cluster  of  cypripe- 
diums,  nile  green  and  silverine  ribbon.

her  daughter  and  son-in-law,  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  John  A.  Zuck,  902  James  street,

day morning.  Mrs.  Harvey,  who  died 
Thursday  night,  November  20,  was 
9G  years  of  age.  She  was  the 
widow  of  Walter  S.  Harvey,  who  for 
many  years  was  active  in  business  cir-

years  ago  he  was  identified  with  Ludwig

KNOXVILLE,  TENN. 


The  Market. 

Thanksgiving  business  was  the  best 
ever  experienced,  being  over  fifty  per 
cent  better  than  that  of  any  previous 
year.  Thanksgiving  trade  is  getting  to 
be  as  large  as  that  of  Christmas  and 
Easter  of  a  few  years  ago.  There  was 
a  shortage  of  stock,  or  sales  would  have 
been  even  better  than  they  were.  There 
seems  to  have  been  a  shortage  over  the 
entire  country,  as  it  was  impossible  to 
get  stock  anywhere.  Everything  that 
looked  like  a  flower  was  sold,  even  such 
stock  a.s  usually  goes  into  the  trash  box. 
There  was  a  good  demand  for  plants 
and  every  one  that  could  be  obtained 
was  sold.  There  wore  a  fow  good  cycla- 
mens, bi'gonias  and  pdmpon  chrysanthe- 
}iium  jilants.  Tiic  supjiiy  of  chrysan- 
themums was  good,  but  tlie  demand  for 
them  was  better;  Dolly  Dimjjle  was  the 
leader  and  sold  as  high  as  $1  each  for 
the  best  blooms.  Koses  were  scarce  and 
the  few  that  were  in  stock  moved  quick- 
ly at  good  j)riccs.  Tlie  demand  for  car- 
nations also  exceeded  the  siipjily.  There 
was  a  good  crop  of  orchids,  and  owing 
to  the  heavy  demaiid  for  eorsage  bou- 
quets tliey  .sold  fast  at  good  j)rices.  Fu- 
neral work  lias  been  heavier  during  the 
week  than  at  any  time  during  the 
season.

Last  week  saw  a  sudden  shortage  of 
stock  and  most  of  the  retailers  had  to 
buy  in  other  cities  in  order  to  meet  the 
great  demand  for  flowers  for  Thanks- 
giving day;  the  trade  for  that  day 
showed  a  fifty  per  cent  increase  over 
last  year.  The  greatest  demand  was  for 
chrysanthemums,  which  were  scarce. 
The  charity  cabaret,  given  by  the

with  the  demand  brisk. 

All  of  the  mums  are  gone  with  the  ex- 
ception of  a  few  Dolly  Dimples

fine  Columbia,  Russell  and  Premier  roses 
have  been  coming  into  the  market. 
Paper  Whites  and  carnations  have  been 
plentiful.  In  plants  Chinese  narcissus

few  poinsettias  are  coming  in  and  re-

Thursday  morninfj  found  everyone 
scurrying  .iround  for  enough  .stock  to 
fill  belated  orders.  Some  retailers  had 
an  unfortunate  experience  in  receiving 
out-of-town  shipments  at  noon  on 
Tliursday,  too  late  to  be  of  much  use, 
except  for  the  following  day. 

Mums  dropped  out  suddenly  and  the 
unexpected  jump  in  price  to  the  retailer 
was  the  cause  of  much  explanation  to 
prospective  customers.  Roses  of  all 
grades  sold  out  early,  short-stemmed 
stock  being  in  unequal  supply  to  the 
demand  for  corsage  stock.  The  loss  of 
the  shipments  of  carnations  from  the 
Joseph  H.  Hill  Co.  to  this  market  was  a 
great  inconvenience  to  the  trade  and 
necessitated  shipments  being  sent  here 
from  other  points  to  meet  the  demand. 
A  large  per  cent  of  these  shipments  ar- 
rived in  an  unsalable  condition.  Pick- 
ling may  be  all  right  for  immediate 
home  consumption,  but  it  is  bad  busi- 
ness when  the  stock  is  shipped  out  of 
town. 

Among  the  miscellaneous  stock,  calen- 
dulas, baby  primroses  and  sweet  peas 
were  quickly  disposed  of  at  good  prices. 
In  blooming  plants  begonias  and  cycla- 
mens sold  unusually  well.  Taken  as 
a   whole,    business   was   a   little    better

than  last  year.  A  year  ago  we  had  the 
flu  and  flu  prices,  so  there  ought  not  to 
be  any  cause  for  complaint  now. 

Various  Notes. 

C.  E.  Crilchell  reports  business  the 
best  in  tlie  history  of  the  firm,  with 
many  shipping  orders  cut  in  lialf  on  ac- 
count of  the  scarcity  of  stock. 

The  Wm.  Murphy  Co.  handled  large 
quantities  of  rose  stock,  also  mums  and 
Xelrose  snapdragons,  which  sold  out 
quickly. 

T.  W.  Hardesty  &  Co.  were  rushed  to 
capacity  with  holiday  business  and 
debutante  work. 

Julius  Baer  reports  a  heavy  run  in  all 
lines  of  stock.  Begonias,  cyclamens 
and  Cleveland  clicrries  are  moving  fast. 

Robert  Kelly's  store,  opposite  the 
Hotel  Sinton,  attracted  many  customers 
;iiid  caused  much  favorable  comment  by 
timely  window  displays. 

11.  W.  81iepi)ard  finds  this  year's  busi- 
ness even  ahead  of  last  year.  This 
firm  is  having  many  opportunities  to  dis- 
play its  artistic  resourcefulness  and 
originality  in  arranging  baskets,  cor- 
s;iges  and  old-fashioned  bouquets  in  the 
lainbow  shades.  H.  E.  K. 

E.  A.  Forter  has  returned  from  a  hunt- 
ing trip  in  Alabama.  While  there  he  and 
his  jtarty  went  through  some  of  the 
steel    mills    at    Birmingham,    Aln.      Mr.

The  Market. 

Thanksgiving  day  this  year  was  one 
of  the  most  satisfactory  that  florista 
have  ever  recorded.  Had  the  weather 
not  changed  Wednesday  night  to  a  cold 
rain  followed  by  sleet  and  freezing  tem- 
perature Thursday,  it  is  probable  that 
retail  business  would  have  been  heavier. 
Wholesalers  cleaned  up  completely  and 
most  of  the  retailers  cleaned  up  on 
mums,  which  were  plentiful.  Growers 
were  prepared  for  an  emergency  this 
year,  profiting  by  the  demands  of  last 
fall,  and  some  had  more  than  twice  the 
number  of  plants  they  had  in  1918. 
There  was  such  a  large  crop  of  mums, 
in  fact,  that  a  survey  of  the  greenhouses 
early  in  October  caused  some  dealers  to 
fear  there  would  be  losses  later  un- 
less everything  went  just  right.  For- 
tunately, these  fears  were  not  realized,

for  everything  did  go  just  right.  Busi- 
ness has  been  good  for  two  months. 
Mums  are  finer  than  they  have  been  in 
years  and  Thanksgiving,  considered  the 
opening  of  the  real  flower  season,  was 
a  big  day.  The  mum  crop  will  be  good 
for  fully  two  weeks  to  come.  Prices 
were    not    advanced   for    Thanksgiving, 


because  there  was  plenty  of  stock. 
Mums  range  from  $3  to  $5;  pompons 
sell  at  50  and  75  cents  per  bunch;  car- 
nations are  going  at  $5  and  $6.  The  bet- 
ter grades  of  roses  are  from  $8  to  $20 
and  other  grades  from  $6  to  $12.  Nar- 
cissi are  coming  in  and  will  be  in  greater 
demand  as  soon  as  pompons   are  gone.

The  Market. 

Thanksgiving  day  this  year  was  one 
of  the  most  satisfactory  that  florists 
have  ever  recorded.  Had  the  weather 
not  changed  Wednesday  night  to  a  cold 
rain  followed  by  sleet  and  freezing  tem- 
perature Thursday,  it  is  probable  that 
retail  business  would  have  been  heavier. 
Wholesalers  cleaned  up  completely  and 
most  of  the  retailers  cleaned  up  on 
mums,  which  were  plentiful.  Growers 
were  prepared  for  an  emergency  this 
year,  profiting  by  the  demands  of  last 
fall,  and  some  hud  more  than  twice  the 
number  of  plants  they  had  in  1918. 
There  was  such  a  large  crop  of  mums, 
in  fact,  that  a  survey  of  the  greenhouses 
early  in  October  caused  some  dealers  to 
fear  there  would  be  losses  later  un- 
less everything  went  just  right.  For- 
tunately, these  fears  were  not  realized,

for  everything  did  go  just  right.  Busi- 
ness has  been  good  for  two  months. 
Mums  are  finer  than  they  have  been  in 
years  and  Thanksgiving,  considered  the 
opening  of  the  real  flower  season,  was 
a  big  day.  The  mum  crop  will  be  good 
for  fully  two  weeks  to  come.  Prices 
were    not    advanced    for    Thanksgiving, 


because  there  was  plenty  of  stock. 
Mums  range  from  $3  to  $5;  pompons 
sell  at  50  and  75  cents  per  bunch;  car- 
nations are  going  at  $5  and  $6.  The  bet- 
ter grades  of  roses  are  from  $8  to  $20 
and  other  grades  from  $6  to  $12.  Nar- 
cissi are  coming  in  and  will  be  in  greater 
demand  as  soon   as  pompons  are   gone.

Coal  Orders  Strict. 

The  following  orders  were  made  by 
the  local  fuel  administration  to  go  into 
effect  in  Kansas  City  at  midnight  Sun- 
day, November  30: 

1.  Motion  pictures,  tlieaters,  dance  lialls, 
pooi  parlors  and  all  places  of  amusement  must 
dose. 

2.  All  stores,  whether  wholesale  or  retail,  and 
all  office  buildings  must  open  at  9  a.  m.  and 
close  at  4  p.  m.  Grocery  stores,  restaurants  and 
drug  stores  open  for  the  filling  of  prescriptions 
are  excepted. 

3.  Public  meetings  of  every  description,  in- 
cluding clubs  and  lodges,  must  be  discontinued; 
also  weekday  services  in  the  churches,  funerals 
excepted.  ^.^       ^  ^, 

4.  All  schools  in  greater  Kansas  Citv,  Iwth 
public  and  private,  day  or  night,   must  close. 

5.  In  the  homes  only  those  rooms  necessary 
to  health  should  be  heated  and  only  such  lights 
as    are    absolutely    necessary    should    be    burned. 

"These  rules,"  states  C.  H.  Mark- 
ham,  of  the  fuel  administration,  "apply 
to  everyone  and  they  must  be  obeyed. 
Otherwise  all  electric  current  and  all 
coal  will  be  shut  off  from  violators. 
Many  persons  believe  they  can  operate 
after  hours,  provided  they  do  not  use 
light  or  heat.  They  cannot.  I  appre- 
ciate that  it  seems  unfair  to  them,  but 
if  one  does  it  the  rest  will  insist  upon 
doing  it  and  the  effectiveness  of  the  or- 
der will  be  destroyed." 

Florists,  of  course,  like  all  other  busi- 
ness men  and  women,  will  come  under 
the  ruling  of  the  above  order.  The  coun- 
try clubs  have  been  closed  for  two  days, 
and  orders  for  table  decorations  for  va- 
rious affairs  have  been  canceled.  No 
ruling  has  as  yet  been  made  concerning 
greenhouses,  most  of  which  have  still 
sufficient  coal  to  run  for  a  month  or  two. 
One  or  two  have  coal  enough  on  hand 
to  carry  them  through  the  entire  winter, 
a  few  burn  oil  and  one  grower  has  gas 
on  his  property.  Just  how  these  will  be 
affected,  whether  the  coal  will  be  taken 
to  supply  families  who  have  no  fuel 
whatever,  or  how  the  situation  will 
work  out,  remains  to  be  seen.  Growers 
hope,  however,  that  they  will  be  pro- 
tected and  that  the  strike  will  soon  be 

settled. 

Various  Notes. 

T.  J.  Noll  &  Co.  handled  a  little  over 
60,000  mums  Thanksgiving  and  the  day 
before.  So  completely  did  they  sell 
out  that  they  had  no  stock  to  ship  on 
wire  orders  Friday.  *     a   i.

crop  now. 

The  Muehlebach  Flower  Shop  has  re- 
ceived a  large  quantity  of  fancy  china 
.and  art  ware  and  has  sold  a  number  of 
Christmas  orders  from  these  lines.  This 
firm  sold  1,500  mums  November  26  and 
27  and  had  a  big  decoration  Friday 
night. 

J.  G.  Eggleston  has  started  to  build  a 
new  house  for  petunias,  of  which  he  will 
make  a  specialty  next  spring.  He  has

varieties.  J.  E.  K.

LOS  ANGELES. 


The  Market. 

A  rain  just  before  Thanksgiving 
made  it  difficult  to  get  stock  dry  enough 
to  ship  and  wholes^ers  had  a  good  deal 
of  trouble  with  their  long-distance 
orders.  Every  year  sees  a  decided  in- 
crease in  shipping  business  for  Thanks- 
giving and  this  year  was  no  exception. 
At  the  moment  of  writing  it  is  too 
early  to  say  how  all  the  retailers  fared, 
but  there  is  every  indication  of  a  good 
holiday.  Roses  shortened  up  unaccount- 
ably just  as  they  were  needed,  the  out- 
door stock  being  badly  bruised,  owing 
to  high  winds,  and  the  indoor  being  off 
crop.  Indoor  carnations  were  about 
level  with  the  demand,  but  more  good 
field  stock  could  have  been  sold.  One 
grower  was  in  with  some  fine  late  Hunt- 
er mums,  but  otherwise  these  flowers 
were  in  poor  condition,  the  season  being 
past.  Appleton  was  the  only  yellow 
that  was  at  all  worth  while  as  a  shipper, 
J.  anne  Nonin  the  only  good  white. 
Small  flowers  are  plentiful  with  the  ex- 
ception of  sweet  peas,  which  are  scarce. 
A  large  demand  is  found  for  straw- 
flowers  and  other  everlastings  for  east- 
ern shipments.  Plumo^us  is  short  and 
higher  in  price.  Other  greens  are  about 
as  last  reported.  In  plants  there  are 
good  cyclamens,  poinsettias,  begonias 
and  primulas,  but  with  the  exception  of 
cyclamens  they  are  not  plentiful.  Ferns 
are  of  better  quality  and  more  plentiful. 
Stevia  is  in  fine  supply.  Orchids  are 
still  scarce. 

Frost  on  Thanksgiving  night  reduced 
the  supply  of  stock  here  considerably. 
No  severe  damage  was  done  to  crops  in 
general,  but  prices  are  much  higher. 

Various  Notes. 

Another  horticultural  landmark  has 
been  gwept  away  in  the  march  of  prog- 
ress. A.  F.  Borden,  of  the  Redondo 
Floral  Co.,  has  sold  his  property  at 
Hollywood,  having  first  removed  the 
greenhouses.  This  is  the  same  range 
that  was  formerly  run  by  Mr.  Borden 
and  Mr.  Dekema,  the  latter  previously 
of  Jensen  &  Dekema,  carnation  grow- 
ers, in  Chicago.  Bassett  &  Wash- 
burn also  used  the  greenhouses  here  for 
a  time  for  propagating  purposes  and 
growing  small  kentias  in  preparation 
for  their  Sierra  Madre  place.  But  the 
property  had  been  much  too  valuable 
for  these  purposes  and  Mr.  Borden 
wears  a  broad  smile  when  he  thinks  of 
the  big  addition  to  his  bank  balance. 

Oscar  Paishman,  formerly  with  Mor- 
ri«  Goldenson  and  more  recently  with 
Miss  Hosp,  of  Riverside,  has  been  out 
of  the  business  for  some  time,  but  is 
coming  back.  He  intends  opening  a 
store  in  a  new  building  now  being  built 
in  Long  Beach,  the  largest  in  town  and 
centrally  located.    He  should  do  well. 

P.  J.  Miller  &  Co.  have  their  place 
fitted  np  in  nice  shape  now  and  report 
good  business,  necessitating  an  addition 
to  the  staff  already. 

S.  Murata  &  Co.  are  busy  with  the 
shipping  end.  Mr.  Murata 's  little 
daughter  is  in  trouble  with  her  eyes, 
but   all    hope   it   is   not   serious.     Miss 


Rohr  is  back  at  her  place  here,  but  etill 
walks  with  a  slight  limp. 

J.  Dieterich  has  got  over  his  troubles 
and  although  not  looking  at  his  best, 
yet  is  around  the  place  attending  to 
business. 

Shipping  business  has  been  heavy 
with  the  L.  A.  Floral  Co.,  several  orders 
for  long-distance  work  having  to  be 
turned  down  owing  to  scarcity  of  stock 
fit  to  ship.  It  is  the  policy  here  to  turn 
down  orders  when  the  stock  is  not  like- 
ly to"  carry  well.  Several  carloads  of 
humus  were  shipped  last  week  and  this 
material  is  gaining  favor  wherever 
tried. 

T.  Yakas,  formerly  of  Oakland,  helped 
with  the  Thanksgiving  rush  at  the  store 
of  the  Broadway  Florist.  Mr.  Yakas 
intends  locating  here  and  will  probably 
open  a  retail  store  in  the  near  future. 

A  fine  cut  of  Beauties  is  coming  to 
W.  Armacost  &  Co.,  and  the  demand  is 
good.  The  new  store  arrangement  is 
perfect  and  everything  is  running 
smoothly  now. 

The  Superior  Nursery  is  getting  out 


large  -quantities  of  ]»lantB  and  C.  Gut- 
ting, back  from  his  hunting  trip,  is 
working  like  the  proverbial  Trojan.  The 
stock  of  cyclamens  is  excellent  and  good 
blocks  of  such  stock  as  Fieus  pandurata, 
crotons  and  others  are  grown. 

Frank  Lichtenberg  was  in  San  Fran- 
cisco last  week  purchasing  stock.  At 
the  store  a  great  display  is  made  and 
all  are  busy.  A  wedding  order  last 
week  wherein  American  Beauties  and 
pink  mums  were  leaders  ran  into  big 
figures. 

Paul  Ecke  reports  that  his  poinsettias 
were  not  damaged  by  the  frost  Thanks- 
giving night.  His  stock  is  coming  along 
well.  H.  R.  Richards.

Active  demand  and  plenty  of  stock

J.  A.  AXELL, 


WHOLESALE  FLORIST 
461  Bush  Street, 


San  Francisco 


for  several  days  before  the  holiday  and 
the  local  demand  was  sufficiently  strong 
to  effect  a  close  clean-up  of  supplies 
after  out-of-town  business  was  taken 
care  of.  There  were  many  more  or  less 
elaborate  dinner  parties  planned  for  the 
holiday  and  unusual  liberality  was 
evinced  in  preparing  the  decorations  in 
conjunction  with  many  of  them.  As  far 
as  business  is  concerned,  the  local  flo- 
rists had  much  to  be  thankful  for  on 
this  Thanksgiving  day. 

Stock  was  all  that  could  be  desired. 
There  were  plenty  of  roses,  carnations 
and  a  big  supply  of  violets,  as  well  as 
other  seasonable  stock,  and  a  nice  show- 
ing of  chrysanthemums.  Owing  to  the 
lack  of  rain  and  the  little  frost,  chrys- 
anthemums are  having  an  unusually 
long  season.  Some  years  they  are  off 
the  market  before  Thanksgiving,  but 
this  year  they  figured  prominently  iu 
the  special  displays  for  this  holiday  and 
with  a  continuation  of  mild  weather 
much  good  stock  will  continue  to  arrive 
for  some  little  time.  Hopes  are  even 
entertained  that  San  Francisco  will 
have  chrysanthemums  for  Christmas. 
Large  mums  demand  high  prices,  as 
does  good  stock  generally. 

A  nice  shipment  of  cut  poinsettias  ar- 
rived from  the  southern  part  of  the 
state  for  Thanksgiving  and  found  ready 
purchasers  at  the  local  stores. 

In  potted  plants  some  nice  azaleas 
were  offered  from  near-by  nurseries  and 
begonias  and  cyclamens  made  a  fine 
showing.  Plants  had  a  good  call,  as  well 
as  cut  flowers.  Large  quantities  of 
California  red  berries  and  pepper  ber- 
ries were  shipped  out  of  the  city  on 
Thanksgiving  orders  and  the  local  de- 
mand took  care  of  its  full  quota.  These 
items  show  good  quality  this  year. 
Greens  are  plentiful,  but  not  in  excess 
of  the  demand. 

About  the  only  stock  shortage  at  pres- 
ent is  in  orchids.  These  choice  blooms 
are  still  hard  to  get  in  large  enough 
numbers  to  fill  the  requirements  of  the 
trade.  Their  scarcity  is  reflected  in  a 
particularly  strong  demand  for  gar- 
denias, the  latter  being  more  plentiful 
than  orchids  and  of  particularly  good 
quality. 

Various  Notes. 

One  of  the  busiest  mornings  on  fu- 
neral work  the  local  florists  have  had  for 
some  time  came  Wednesday,  November 
26,  when  former  State  Senator  C.  M. 
Belshaw,  his  wife,  J.  D.  Sherwood,  of 
Spokane,  Wash.,  and  his  wife,  all  of 
whom  met  death  together  in  an  automo- 
bile   accident    Sunday,    November    23,

Mrs.  Teresa  Avansino,  in  whose  family 
are  several  florists,  died  at  her  home  in 
this  city,  November  23,  leaving  the  fol- 
lowing sons  and  daughters  to  mourn  her 
loss:  Louis,  David,  Henry,  J.  R.  and 
John  Avansino,  Mrs.  Kate  Antonini, 
Mrs.  Mary  Capurro  and  Mrs.  Lena 
Orero.  Funeral  services  were  held  Nov- 
ember 26  at  her  late  residence  on  Green 
street,  thence  to  Sts.  Peter  and  Paul 
church.  Mrs.  Avansino  was  a  native 
of  Italy. 

The  growth  of  J.  A.  Axell's  new

ing. A  lease  has  been  secured  on  the 
remainder  of  the  ground  floor  of  the 
building  at  461  Bush  street,  part  of 
which  is  already  occupied,  and  the  ad- 
ditional space  has  just  been  made  ready 
for  occupancy.  This  gives  the  Axell 
business  a  floor  space  of  30  x  125  feet.

ness  was  all  that  could  be  desired  at 
this  establishment,  a  success  which 
augurs  well  for  the  year-end  holidays, 
according  to  Mr.  Axell.  Mrs.  Axell's 
services  have  been  recalled,  owing  to 
the  rush  in  business  and  lack  of  time  to 
break  someone  in. 

The  day  before  Thanksgiving  Joseph  'a 
had  a  rush  of  funeral  orders  in  addition 
to  the  extra  holiday  business.  This  firm 
made  two  orchid  palls  for  a  man  and  his 
wife  that  morning.  George  Wagner, 
decorator  for  this  firm,  received  many 
compliments  upon  a  banquet  decoration 
which  he  arranged  in  the  Italian  room 
of  the  St.  Francis  hotel,  during  the  re- 
cent convention  of  Shriners  in  this 
city.  The  guest  of  honor  was  from 
Pennsylvania  and  Mr.  Wagner  took  as 
his  theme  for  the  centerpiece  the  sign- 
ing of  the  treaty  in  that  state  between 
the  Quakers  and  the  Indians.  Quanti- 
ties of  large  bronze  chrysanthemums 
were  used.  Joseph  Thomas,  formerly 
identified  with  the  trade  in  Oakland, 
Cal.,  and  more  recently  with  the  Mac- 
Eorie-McLaren  Co.  in  this  city,  has 
taken  a  position  with  Joseph 's. 

A.  J.  Rossi,  of  Pelicano,  Rossi  &  Co., 
says  there  is  plenty  of  good  stock  and 
plenty  of  business. 

Domoto  Bros,  are  bringing  in  some 
fine  specimens  of  azalea  plants  and  ex- 
pect to  have  a  nice  lot  of  potted  poin- 
settias,  cyclamens,  heather,  etc.,  for  the 
Christmas  season.  They  are  filling  a 
big  demand  for  a  new  baby  rose  which 
was  produced  at  their  range  and  is 
proving  popular  on  account  of  its  rich 
pink  color. 

The  United  Flower  &  Supply  Co.  has 
just  received  a  large  new  stock  of 
baskets  and  other  florists'  supplies  for 
the  holiday  season.  Shipping  business 
continues  brisk  at  this  establishment. 

Mrs.  Copeland  has  been  busy  with 
Thanksgiving  decorations  and  funeral 
work.  The  first  poinsettias  of  the  season 
attracted  much  attention  at  her  store 
in  Sutter  street. 

The  E.  W.  McLellan  Co.  reports  a 
splendid  Thanksgiving  shipping  busi- 
ness. Henry  Avansino,  manager  for 
this  company,  was  away  on  account  of 
the  death  of  his  mother  and  his  force 
was  rushed  just  that  much  more  in 
taking  care  of  the  orders. 

A  new  catalogue  has  just  been  issued 
by  the  H.  A.  Hyde  Co.,  of  Watsonville, 
Cal.  The  book  contains  a  full  list  of

Patent  applied  for 


Florists'  Club  the  table  decorations  were 
unusual,  being  the  famous  Glenrose 
Greenhouse  beans,  which  have  now 
reached  the  size  of  vegetable  marrow. 

Peters  &  Sons,  of  Hillyard,  Wash., 
have  lost  their  boiler  house  by  fire.  Sev- 
eral of  the  greenhouses  were  burned  on 
the  ends,  but  owing  to  the  mild  weather 
no  damage  was  done  to  the  growing 
stock.  At  present  they  are  moving  a 
large  crop  of  lettuce,  which  is  grown  as 
a  side  line. 

Mr.  Lozier,  of  E.  S,  Eugene's  store, 
reports  large  sales  of  the  Lozier  flower 
basket. 

Miss  Sadie  Mclnnis,  formerly  with 
Donart's  House  of  Flowers,  has  accepted 
a  position  with  the  Hoyt  Bros.  Co. 

The  remodeling  of  Donart's  House  of 
Flowers  is  completed  and  A.  Boehning 
is  expecting  big  business. 

A.  J.  Burt  reports  much  funeral  work. 

.Tack  Burt,  of  Jack  Burt's  Flower 
Shop,  has  had  a  fine  display  of  mums. 

Harry  Saunders,  of  Donart  &  Louis, 
Coeur  d'Alene,  Ida.,  has  been  calling  on 
the  trade.  His  firm  has  recently  been 
shipping  some  fine  blooms  of  white  and 
yellow  Turner. 

H.  E.  Reimers  has  had  many  sales  of 
the  concrete  flower  pot  machine.

The  Market. 

The  market  conditions  are  all  that 
could  be  desired.  There  is  a  large  show- 
ing of  first-class  flowers  and  the  demand 
for  th(*m  cleans  them  up  about  as  fast 
as  they  arrive.  We  have  never  seen  a 
finer  lot  of  first-class  stock  at  this  time 
of  the  year  than  is  being  shown  now. 
Chrysanthemums,  especially,  are  the 
finest  that  have  ever  been  shown  in  this 
market.  Possibly  business  will  not  come 
up  to  that  of  last  year,  on  account  of 
the  influenza  epidemic,  which  swept 
over  the  country  last  year  and  which 
required  everything  in  the  way  of  flow- 
ers for  funerals,  but  business  is  a  great 
deal  better  than  it  was  two  years  ago. 

Among  the  potted  plants  being 
offered    are    primroses,    cyclamens    and

Seed  Trade  News 


AMXaiOAM  8XKD  ZSASS  ASStOXATION. 
Ptwident.    H.   O.   Dnnnn,   Philadelphia,    Pa.; 
Mcretary-treaaarar.  C.  u.  Kendel.  Gleyeland.  O. 

Many  seed  houses  find  the  Dutch  bulb 
season  tailing  over  into  the  month  devoted 
to  Christmas  greens. 

The  giganteums  are  cleaning  up  rap- 
idly. There  will  be  few  for  cold  storage, 
or  for  forcing  on  a  partnership  basis. 

Pending  the  establishment  of  a  wages 
board,  British  seedsmen  may  formulate 
standards  of  pay,  in  order  to  anticipate 
government  action. 

It  looks  like  a  clean-up  for  the  Dutch 
bulbs  in  spite  of  the  delay  on  the  dock. 
Those  who  have  advertised  their  surpluses 
to  the  trade  have  found  prompt  takers. 

"Whenever  you  come  across  a  man 
everybody  likes,  you  will  usually  find  a 
glass  cover  over  Lis  face  and  floral 
wreaths  in  the  room, ' '  says  Robert  Nichol- 
son. 

The  Missouri  Seed  Dealers '  Association 
held  a  meeting  at  Jefferson  City  Novem- 
ber 24.  President  D.  I.  Bushnell,  of  St. 
Louis,  presided  over  the  meeting,  during 
which  many  important  matters  were  dis- 
posed of. 

It  was  the  seed  season  of  1917 
that  Patrick  O  'Mara,  general  manager  of 
Peter  Henderson  &  Co.,  offered  the  opin- 
ion that  it  had  set  a  record  which  wUl 
stand  until  there  has  been  a  material  in- 
crease in  the  population. 

If  wages  are  so  high  that  they  have 
increased  absenteeism  to  a  point  never 
known  in  the  history  of  American  indus- 
try, why  should  it  be  expected  that  men 
who  will  not  work  for  money  will  bend 
their  backs  over  beets  and  beans? 

The  fall  in  the  price  of  most  kinds  of 
seeds  has  not  solved  the  problems  of  the 
commission  box  people.  After  having  de- 
cided to  go  back  to  the  5-cent  packet  they 
find  the  rising  cost  of  doing  business, 
particularly  of  labor,  is  upsetting  their 
calculations. 

From  the  British  seed  firm,  Hurst  & 
Son,  London,  comes  the  report  of  a  season 
favorable,  on  the  whole,  to  harvesting 
operations.  "Most  descriptions  of  seeds 
have  been  well  saved  and  are  in  good 
condition,  although  in  some  cases  defi- 
cient in  quantity." 

The  firm  of  Segers  Bros.,  Lisse,  Hol- 
land, one  of  the  most  widely  known  bulb 
growers,  is  being  turned,  January  1,  1920, 
into  a  limited  liability  stock  company 
under  the  name  of  Segers  Bros.,  Ltd.  A. 
Schravendeel  will  represent  the  concern 
in  America,  arriving  this  month. 

The  end  of  the  printing  trades'  strike 
in  New  York  did  not  come  a  day  too  soon 
for  the  seedsmen  who  look  to  that  center. 
Not  a  few  of  the  books  usually  produced 
there  have  been  placed  in  open  shops  in 
other  cities,  but  making  a  catalogue  in 
a  print  shop  that  doesn  't  know  the  trade 's 
language  is  not  wholly  a  joy. 

In  a  front-page  announcement  in  the 
London  Times  the  British  Horticultural 
Trades  Association  warned  the  public 
against  purchasing  cheap  bulbs  and  seeds 
from  unknown  Dutch  or  British  adver- 
tisers. "For  its  own  protection  against 
fraud,"  read  the  notice,  "the  public  is

seedsmen  and  nurserymen  only."  The 
editor  of  the  Times  commented  on  the 
advertisement  in  the  news  columns. 

An  increased  number  of  seed  cata- 
logues will  price  everything  by  weight  for 
1920.  The  cental  system  has  justified  its 
adoption. 

There  will,  of  course,  be  a  big  seed 
season  in  1920,  but  to  figure  on  a  record 
demand  is  to  fail  to  recognize  the  fact 
that  people  fully  employed  at  high  wages 
do  not  garden  strongly. 

Vilmorin-Andrieux  &  Co.,  Paris,  have 
given  notice  that  H.  Frank  Darrow  Co., 
New  York,  no  longer  represents  the  French 
house  in  America.  It  was  a  connection 
of  more  than  twenty  years'  standing. 


NO  CONCESSIONS  OBTAINABLE. 


Plant  Quarantine  Inflexible. 

"While  chambers  of  coMtnerce,  mer- 
chants' associations  and  other  progress- 
ive bodies  are  trying  to  boost  foreign 
trade  as  a  means  of  insuring  prosperity 
for  the  American  people,  such  autocratic 
government  boards  as  that  at  present 
controlling  horticultural  commerce  are 
doing  their  best  to  kill  the  business — at 
least  so  it  seems  to  those  most  vitally 
interested. 

As  an  example  of  the  inflexibility  of 
the  regulations,  McHutchison  &  Co.,  New 
York,  recently  addressed  the  following 
letter  to  the  representative  of  the  Fed- 
eral Horticultural  Board  in   their  city: 

FollowinK  the  vissit  of  our  Mr.  C.  H.  Knick- 
man,  we  stnte  the  situiitioii  in  writing  and  re- 
quest that  .von  lav  the  facts  before  Washington 
and  advise  us  of  dfcision  as  six)n  as  jiossible. 
The  facts  are   tlicse: 

Owing  to  tlie  sinlviMf  of  the  S.  S.  Yoten  Maru 
oflf  Yokohama,  whicli  was  brinninK  our  earfiest 
large  consignment  of  lily  t>iill)s  to  New  York 
via  Panama  canal  rente,  and  tlie  hoMing  back 
of  1,000  cases  in  Seattle  due  to  lack  of  refriger- 
ator cars,  we  are  sliort  of  lily  bulbs  here,  and 
the  8  or  10  carloads  now  en  route  cannot  arrive 
in   time. 

Yon  can  understand  that  this  will  be  a  big 
loss  to  us.  But,  on  the  other  hand,  we  have  a 
small  surplus  in  Tendon,  Ont.,  Canada,  which 
we  would  like  to  bring  to  New  York  by  express, 
but  your  regulations  prevent  this  being  done- - 
imless  you  are  willing  to  strain  a  point  to  meet 
the   sit\iatlon. 

The  Canadian  shipment  went  through  in  bond 
from  Yokohama  to  I/)ndon  via  Vancouver,  and 
while  we  have  not  yet  received  sliipping  docu- 
ments from  Japan,  we  assume  that  no  certificate 
of  Inspection  is  attached  to  the  documents,  nor 
health  certificates  or  sterilization  certificates  on 
the  cases — as  these  are  not  required  by  Cana- 
dian laws.  This,  of  course,  is  merely  conjec- 
ture on  our  part,  but  we  must  assume  there  are 
none.  What  we  would  like  to  bring  from  London 
are  the  following  cases: 

.50  oases   I^ilium   Ciganteum,   7  to  9-inch. 

10  case»  IJlium  Giganteum,   8  to  10-lnch. 

25  cases  I>ilium  Giganteum,  9  to  lOinch. 

As  the  soil  in  which  tliese  are  packed  comes 
from  the  side  of  a  mountain  taken  many  feet 
from  the  surface,  there  can  be  no  danger  of 
Insect  pests  or  plant  diseases  being  Introduced 
through  this  medium;  but  we  are  willing  to  con-

fliip  sliipmonts  to  points  around  Now  York,  so 
timt  yoii  can  arrange  for  tlio  dispuHition  of  the 
soil  used  as  packing  material  if  you  so  desire. 
Kindly  take  up  tbis  matter  promptly  with 
Washington,  for  we  expect  to  receive  at  least 
1,.">00  ciLses  witliin  three  weeks,  so  that  there 
would  be  no  advantage  in  getting  this  small  lot 
from  Canada  unless  we  could  get  tliem  in  by  ex- 
press ahead  of  tlie  freight  shipments  en  route. 
'I'hanl<ing  joii  in  advance  for  your  decision,  we 
ri'muin. 

The  reply  came  from  Harry  B.  Snow, 
pathological  inspector  in  charge,  room 
30.J  Custom  House,  New  York,  as  fol- 
lows: 

Reference  Is  made  to  your  letter  of  the  19th 
instant,  in  regard  to  shipments  of  lily  bulbs 
from  Japan  which  have  been  routed  to  a  Cana- 
iliiin  point  and  whicli  you  surmised  to  liave  been 
paciied  in  unsteriiized  soil  because  the  shipper 
was  under  the  impression  that  they  were  Intend- 
<'<I  for  the  Canadian  marlset  and  not  for  that  of 
tlio  United  States.  In  reply  to  your  query  ns  to 
wlietlier  the  board  will  allow  sucli  bulbs  to  t)o 
sliipped  into  the  United  States.  I  have  to  advise 
.von  that  the  l)oard  considers  it  impossible  to 
permit  the  entry  of  su<'h  l)ullis  into  this  coun- 
try and  that  strict  compliance  with  tlie  soil 
sterilization  requirements  must  he  insisted  upon. 
Doiihtless  yon  will  be  nlile  to  dispose  of  the  bulbs 
in    Canada. 

Apparently  no  assistance  can  bo 
looked   for   from   tlin   authorities   unless 


it  can  be  shown  that  the  proposed  im- 
portation is  for  the  purpose  of  estab- 
lishing American  production. 


INYESTiaATIONS  OF  SEEDS. 


Se«d  Importations. 

Activities  regarding  investigation  of 
seed  supplies  last  year  are  described  in 
the  recently  issued  report  of  the  Bureau 
of  Plant  Industry  of  the  Department 
of  Agriculture,  as  follows: 

"During  the  last  year  comparatively 
few  lots  of  seed  have  been  offered  for 
entry  which  did  not  comply  with  the 
requirements  of  the  seed  importation 
act.  The  most  striking  exceptions  have 
been  certain  lots  of  Canadian  alsike- 
clover  screenings  which  have  been  im- 
ported for  the  purpose  of  recleaning. 

"Of  those  seeds  covered  by  the  act 
the  imjjortations  during  the  fiscal  year 
1919  liave  been  few  as  compared  with 
1917  and  tlie  preceding  year,  with  the 


exception  of  alsike-clover,  of  which 
7,000,000  pounds  were  imported,  as  com- 
pared with  3,500,000  pounds  last  year 
and  4,500,000  pounds  the  previous  year, 
these  three  years  being  those  of  largest 
importation  of  this  kind  of  seed.  It  is 
evident  that  practically  this  entire  quan- 
tity of  alsike-clover  seed  was  put  into 
consumption,  so  there  will  be  little,  if 
any,  carry-over  of  the  seed  imported  dur- 
ing the  fiscal  year. 

' '  There  was  a  remarkable  falling  off 
in  the  quantity  of  rapeseed  imported, 
639,000  pounds  this  year  as  compared 
with  more  than  11,250,000  pounds  last 
year,  both  years'  importations  coming 
principally  from  Japan. 

Seed  Testing. 

"During  the  year,  18,820  samples  of 
seed  were  received  for  test  at  the  Wash- 
ington laboratory  and  10,252  at  the  five 
branch  laboratories  maintained  in  co- 
operation with  state  institutions. 

"Following  a  conference  with  seeds-

The  Florists^  Review 


Decembeu  4,  1919. 


men  in  the  summer  of  1917,  representa- 
tives of  the  seed  trade  associations  and 
a  large  number  of  individual  seedsmen 
agreed  to  label  all  lots  of  field  and  for- 
age-crop seeds  sold  in  quantities  of  ten 
pounds  or  more  with  the  percentage  of 
pure  live  seed,  the  date  of  the  germina- 
tion test  and  in  certain  cases  the  coun- 
try of  origin.  In  the  spring  of  1918 
seeds  of  redtop  and  red  clover  were  pur- 
chased and  examined  to  determine  to 
what  extent  this  agreement  was  kept. 
This  examination  showed  that  only  ten 
per  cent  of  the  lots  of  seeds  purchased 
were  found  to  be  fully  labeled  in  accord- 
ance with  the  agreement. 

' '  Practically  all  of  the  larger  seed 
dealers  now  have  facilities  for  testing 
seeds  and  know  the  quality  of  the  seeds 
they  are  handling,  but  apparently  most 
of  them  are  not  passing  on  to  the  farmer 
this  information,  which  is  of  vital  im- 
portance to  him. 

Congressional  Seed  Distribution. 

"During  the  fiscal  year  1919  there 
were  distributed  on  congressional  and 
miscellaneous  requests  8,072,791  pack- 
ages of  vegetable  seed  and  883,136  pack- 
ages of  flower  seed,  or  a  total  of  8,955,- 
927  packages,  each  containing  five  pack- 
ets of  different  kinds  of  seed.  There 
were  also  distributed  12,122  packages  of 
lawn  grass  seed  and  10,368  packages  of 
imported  narcissus  and  tulip  bulbs.  The 
seeds  and  bulbs  were  purchased  on  com- 
petitive bids,  as  heretofore.  Each  lot 
of  seed  purchased  was  thoroughly  tested 
for  purity  and  viability  before  accept- 
ance by  the  Bureau  of  Plant  Industry 
and  tests  of  each  lot  of  seed  were  con- 
ducted on  the  trial  grounds  of  the  De- 
partment of  Agriculture  to  determine  its 
trueness  to  type." 


TROUBLE  BBEWINO. 


Demand  for  Warranty  of  Seeds. 

"In  the  majority  of  cases  it  is  un- 
doubtedly far  cheaper  for  the  garden- 
er to  buy  his  vegetable  seed  than  to 
attempt  to  grow  it,"  said  E.  R.  Bennett, 
of  Boise,  Ida.,  at  a  recent  convention  of 
veteran  truckers..  "It  is  probable,  too, 
that  the  average  garden  seed  sold  by 
seedsmen  is  from  better  stock  and  more 
carefully  rogued  than  is  home-saved 
seed.  Notwithstanding  this  fact,  it  is 
believed  there  are  great  possibilities  for 
improvement  in  crops  for  the  man  who 
understands  plant  breeding,  in  growing 
his  own  seed.  One  of  the  large  market 
gardeners  of  New. England,  who  grows 
his  own  onion  seed,  told  us  that  he  could 
buy  tlie  seed  for  less  than  half  the  cost 
to  grow  it,  but  that  because  of  the  un- 
certainty as  to  the  variety  and  quality 
of  seed  bought,  he  did  not  care  to  take 
the  chance. 

A  Claim  for  Damages. 

*'A  more  recent  case  is  still  more  to 
the  point.  A  gardener  in  Idaho  with 
whom  we  have  been  in  rather  close 
touch,  experienced  a  severe  loss  last 
season  from  securing  poor  seed.  One 
and  one-half  pounds  of  cauliflower  seed 
v.cre  planted  on  about  two  acres  of 
fjround.  The  plants  started  well,  but 
soon  began  to  diverge  in  type  and  habit 
of  growth.  We  saw  this  field  in  early 
August.  At  that  time  the  grower  had 
great  hopes  of  a  profitable  crop,  al- 
though we  called  his  attention  to  the 
fact  that  the  plants  were  not  uniform 
and  at  least  a  large  percentage  of  them 
were  off  type.    Later  we  were  called  up-

The  Florists^  Review 


DaCBHBBB  4,   1919. 


on  to  make  a  written  statement  as  to  the 
conditions  as  we  saw  them.  The  crop 
eventually  not  only  proved  to  be  oflf  type, 
but  was  a  total  loss,  as  there  was  hardly 
a  head  of  cauliflower  in  the  whole  field. 
The  seed  alone  cost  $75  and  this  was 
only  a  small  part  of  the  loss,  as  the  crop 
was  expected  to  bring  at  least  $1,000 
per  acre,  which  it  would  have  done  had 
it  been  high-grade  Snowball  cauliflower 
as  represented.  This  case  may  have 
been  the  result  of  an  error,  but  it  looked 
much  more  like  crooked  work  somewhere 
along  the  line,  as  the  product  of  the  seed 
ranged  all  the  way  from  cauliflower 
through  brussels  sprouts  and  caobage  to 
kale. 

"In  such  cases  there  should  be  some 
way  of  fixing  the  responsibility  and 
punishing  those  guilty  of  the  fraud; 
As  it  is  practically  impossible  for  the 
gardener  to  produce  his  own  cauliflower 
seed,  the  only  safe  procedure  is  to  secure 
such  seed  from  firms  who  are  reliable 
and  responsible  in  case  of  mistakes." 

SEED-TESTING    IN    CANADA. 

The  Dominion  of  Canada  seed  branch, 
with  laboratories  at  Ottawa,  Winnipeg 
and  Calgary,  reported  over  35,000  seed 
tests  for  the  year  ending  June  30.  The 
growth  of  seed  testing  in  Canada  is  in- 
dicated from  the  fact  that  only  5,775 
samples  were  reported  in  1909.  The 
great  bulk  of  the  work  in  the  seed  lab- 
oratories is  done  between  September  and 
June,  when  each  laboratory  may  handle 
up  to  200  samples  per  day.  Only  ten 
samples  are  tested  free  of  charge  for 
any  farmer  or  seed  merchant  during 
the  season.  Over  this  number,  the  serv- 
ice is  charged  for  at  cost. 

Official  seed  testing  is  the  basis  of 
government  seed  control,  which  in  older 
European  countries  is  rated  as  a  leading 
government  service  to  agriculture.  The 
Canadian  system  is  frequently  referred 
to  in  other  countries  as  being  the  most 
practical  and  efficient.  It  is  now  being 
required  that  imported  seeds  be  not  re- 
leased from  bond  until  they  have  been 
approved  at   the   seed  laboratories. 


Money  invested  in  Beckert's  seeds 
also  buys  Beckert's  Service,  which 
stands  for  that  minute  attention  to  de- 
tails necessary  to  safeguard  the  cus- 
tomer's interest.

The  Florists'  Review 


DpcaifBBB  4,  1910. 


The  nursery  trade  never  had  a  better 
fall  business,  but  the  quantity  of  stock 
stored  for  spring  is  not  so  large  as  would 
be  liked. 

British  nurserymen  are  required  to 
pay  a  certain  standard  of  wages  accord- 
ing to  the  law  by  which  they  are  grouped 
with  agricultural  industries. 

"The  Orchards  of  France"  will  be 
the  subject  of  an  address  by  Lloyd  C. 
Stark,  of  Louisiana,  Mo.,  at  the  Tennes- 
see State  Horticultural  Society's  meeting 
at  Nashville  December  9. 

At  a  recent  joint  meeting  of  the  agri- 
cultural and  forest  preservation  commit- 
tees of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  of  Law- 
ton,  Okla.,  it  was  decided  to  plant  40,000 
seedlings  in  the  2%-acre  plot  of  land 
given  by  the  city  for  a  nursery  in  North 
Addition. 

It  would  seem  that  conditions  in  the 
trade  justify  a  further  advance  in  nearly 
all  lines  of  nursery  stock.  Prices  are  not 
up  to  the  level  of  other  commodities,  but 
production  has  been  so  reduced  by  labor 
shortage  that  first-class  stock  should  be 
salable  at  a  fair  profit. 

TENNESSEE  NUBSEBYMEN. 

The  Tennessee  State  Nurserymen's 
Association  will  hold  its  annual  conven- 
tion at  Nashville  December  10,  with  its 
headquarters  at  the  Hotel  Hermitage. 
It  will  be  called  to  order  by  President 
George  W.  Poague,  of  Graysville,  who 
will  deliver  the  address  of  welcome  and 
the  president's  annual  message,  fol- 
lowed by  the  report  of  Secretary-Treas- 
urer G.  M.  Bentley,  of  Knoxville. 

The  program  of  addresses  to  be  pre- 
sented before  the  convention  is  as  fol- 
lows:

TAOKLINa  PROBLEMS  ON  COAST. 

Mrs.  Buth  Day,  president  of  the  Pa- 
cific Coast  Association  of  Nurserymen, 
who  appears  under  the  heading  ♦  *  Who 's 
Who  in  the  Trade  and  Why"  on  an- 
other page  this  week,  says  regarding 
the  work  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Associa- 
tion: 

"We  hope  to  accomplish  big  things 
this  coming  year.  Our  biggest  problem 
has  been  and  still  is  to  obtain  coopera- 
tion among  the  nurserymen.  They  are 
almost  as  hard  to  unite  as  the  farmers, 
but  we  have  made  great  strides  in  the 
last  few  years  and  feel  much  encour- 
aged. 


"The  biggest  current  problem  we 
have  to  tackle  is  publicity.  This  has 
been  sadly  neglected  by  the  nursery 
trade  in  the  past,  and  we  have  to  take 
our  hats  off  to  the  florists  for  realizing 
the  value  of  it  in  advance  of  us,  or 
rather,  putting  their  realization  into 
practice.  The  campaigri  they  have  so 
successfully  carried  on  the  last  two  yean 
has  been  an  eye-opener  to  the  nursery- 
men. 

"Our  work  in  this  line  will  be  founded 
upon  education,  for  lack  of  it  regarding 
trees  and  plants  is  the  cause  of  much 
disaster  to  the  average  planter.  We 
shall  aim  to  teach  the  public  the  best 
methods  of  planting  and  caring  for 
nursery  stock  after  purchased,  as  well 
as  the  wise  selection  of  varieties  and 
location;  how  to  beautify  the  home 
grounds  with  a  moderate  expenditure

HENRY  I.  FAUST,

when  it  is  necessary,  and  to  clear  up 
many  points  about  tree  and  plant  life 
which  have  been  mysterious  to  the  lay- 
man. We  expect  to  accomplish  this 
through  cooperation  of  our  state  agri- 
cultural colleges,  lectures,  newspaper 
and  magazine  articles  and  possibly  mov- 
ing pictures. 

"There  is  much  preliminary  work  to 
be  done  before  we  can  make  any  defi- 
nite announcements  of  our  program,  but 
we    hope   to   report   progress   shortly." 


REDUCING  UST  OF  VARIETIES. 

Leading  in  the  movement  to  reduce 
the  number  of  varieties  grown  by  nurs- 
erymen, Harrison's  Nurseries,  Berlin, 
Md.,  are  pruning  the  list  in  their  cata- 
logue, making  extraordinary  efforts  to 
weed  out  the  varieties  superfluous  and 
unprofitable  to  nurserymen  in  the  gen- 
eral run.  In  their  special  price  list  of 
fruit  and  ornamental  trees.  Senator  Or- 
lando Harrison  makes  this  statement: 

During  the  last  few  years  my  brother,  George 
A.  HarrlBon,  and  my  son,  G.  Hale  Harrison,  as 
well  as  myself,  have  visited  most  of  the  fruit- 
growing sections  of  the  United  States.  The 
purpose  of  these  journeys  was  to  secure  first- 
hand knowledge  of  the  varletlps  and  of  the  larg- 
est  and  most  profitable  orchards. 

At  various  times  we  have  visited  the  peach 
orchards  of  Maryland.  Pennsylvania,  Texas,  Mis- 
souri, New  York  and  other  large  fruit-growing 
sections.  In  all  of  these  places  we  found  that 
four  varieties  stood  first  and  foremost — Carman, 
Hiley,  Belle  of  Georgia  and  Elberta.  Of  course, 
we  found  a  few  other  varieties,  but  these  seem 
to  be  sorts  with  a  local  reputation,  and  in  no 
case  did  a  grower  have  large  plantings  of  these 
without  regard  to  the  variety. 

Nor  is  the  choice  of  apples  much  wider.  In 
West  Virginia,  Maryland,  Maine,  in  the  Atlantic 
coast  states  and  in  the  extreme  west  a  limited 
number  of  varieties  furnish  the  great  crops.     In

The  Rofists^  Review 


Deciubeb  4,  1919. 


thcM  MctionB  the  principal  varieties  grown  are 
Orimea,  Mclntoali,  Jonathan,  Stayman  Wlneaap, 
Wineaap,  Wealtliy,  Yellow  Transparent,  Wfl- 
Uams,  Oldenburg,  Northwestern,  York  Imperial 
and  Delicious. 

These  InTestiKatioDs  conflrmed  the  tests  in  our 
orchards  in  and  around  Berlin,  where  we  have 
oTer  1,000  acres  of  fruiting  trees  about  equally 
divided  between  apples  and  peaches.  We  have 
the  "Big  Four  Peaches"  and  our  fifth  is  the 
Bay.  Likewise  we  have  the  chief  varietiea  of 
apples. 

we  know  the  varieties  that  are  the  money- 
makers in  commercial  orchards  and  the  desirable 
■orts  for  home  planting;  and  from  now  on  we 
purpose  to  propagate,  to  recommend,  to  sell  only 
such  varieties. 

Other  sorts  may  be  valuable  in  certain  sections, 
and  we  shall  continue  to  propagate  and  sell  auch 
local  varieties,  but  let  me  emphasize  the  fact 
that  the  twelve  varieties  of  apples  and  the  five 
varieties  of  peaches  listed  above  are  unquestion- 
ably  the  cream  for  most  sections. 


IMPORTATION  OF  SEEDLINGS. 

With  regard  to  the  importation  of 
ornamental  seedlings  under  Quarantine 
No.  37,  the  Federal  Horticultural  Board 
has  ruled  as  follows: 

"The  admission  of  fruit  stocks  and 
certain  rose  stocks  under  regulation  3 
of  Quarantine  No.  37  has  led  to  inquir- 
ies as  to  the  possibilities  of  admission 
of  similar  stocks  of  ornamentals.  These 
inquiries  have  reference  chiefly  to  seed- 
lings, i.  e.,  lining  out  stock  to  be  im- 
ported and  either  grown  to  salable  sizes 
and  then  sold  or  used  as  stocks  for  bud- 
ding or  grafting,  the  plants  thus  pro- 
duced to  be  sold.  Such  importations  are 
entirely  distinct  from  plants  imported 
to  furnish  buds,  scions  or  other  needs 
of  plant  propagation  and  not  for  the 
sale  of  the  plants  actually  imported, 
provision  for  the  entry  of  which  when 
not  available  in  the  United  States  has 
already  been  made  in  regulation  14. 

"Importers  are  advised  that  the  im- 
portation of  ornamental  seedlings  for 
the  purposes  indicated  is  not  permitted 
under  Quarantine  No.  37.  It  is  expected 
that  such  ornamentals  will  be  ultimately 
produced  in  this  country  to  meet  essen- 
tial needs  and  provision  is  made  in  the 
quarantine  for  the  entry  of  seeds  of 
such  plants  both  for  direct  production 
and  to  supply  necessary  stocks  for  graft- 
ing, etc.     This  may  mean  in  some  in-

stances  a  delay  of  a  few  years  before 
adequate  supplies  will  be  made  avail- 
able, but  in  the  meantime  the  essential 
needs  of  this  country  can  be  met  by  the 
substitution  of  other  and  American- 
grown  plants.  It  should  be  noted  that 
finished  fruit  trees,  namely  grafted  or 
budded  plants,  and  finished  rose  plants 
are  placed  in  the  same  class  with  orna- 
mentals and  are  not  permitted  entry.  _ 

"One  exception  may  be  made  to  this 
ruling,  namely,  if  it  should  become  ap- 
parent that  any  ornamental  for  which 
there  may  be  a  substantial  horticultural 
need  can  not  be  successfully  grown  in 
this  country,  from  seed,  the  board  is 
willing  to  give  special  consideration  to 
such  cases  and  if  such  condition  is  dem- 
onstrated to  the  satisfaction  of  the 
board  and  confirmed  after  experimenta- 
tion or  otherwise  by  the  experts  of  this 
department,  entry  under  regulation  14 
of  a  reasonable  quantity  of  such  seed- 
ling plants  may  be  authorized. 

"The  provisions  for  the  importation 
of  new  varieties  and  propagating  stock 
not  available  in  this  country  for  re- 
production purposes  are  detailed  in  a 
circular  letter  of  this  board  (HB-105), 
and  in  the  form  of  application  for  spe- 
cial permit  under  regulation  14  (HB- 
107).  These  documents  will  be  supplied 
on  request." 


NEW  FEUIT  STOCKS. 

' '  One  of  the  big  problems  of  American 
fruit  growing,"  states  the  report  of  the 
Bureau  of  Plant  Industry  of  the  Depart- 
ment of  Agriculture  for  the  last  year, 
"is  that  of  stocks  resistant  to  diseases 
and  insects  and  suitable  for  our  wide 
range  of  soil  and  climate.  Promising 
new  stocks  of  pear,  apple,  peach,  cherry 
and  plum  have  been  assembled  from  for- 
eign countries,  chiefly  the  orient.  Nearly 
150  pounds  of  seed  from  pear  trees  sup- 
posed to  be  resistant  to  fire-blight  have 
been  secured  through  exploration  in 
China.  Seedling  stocks  are  being  grown 
at  widely  separated  places  and  distribu- 
tions are  being  made  to  nurserymen  and 
others  in  order  to  determine  their  dis- 
ease resistance,  congeniality  and  adapta- 
bility to  varying  soils  and  climates. 
About  75,000  new  pear  stocks  have  been 
distributed." 


Englewood,  N.  J.  —  The  Meadow 
Brook  Nurseries  has  been  incorporated 
in  1919  as  successor  to  John  M.  Hunter 
&  Son,  who  established  the  flower  and 
J)lant  business  in  1870.  The  officers 
are:  President,  E.  M.  Carman;  vice- 
president,  Robert  F.  Greene;  secretary 
and  treasurer,  B.  T.  McGill.  The  com- 
pany provides  anything  wanted,  from  a 
bride's  bouquet  to  plowing  a  field  or 
building  a  road.  The  headquarters  are 
at  275  Grand  avenue.

A  novelty  of  distinctive  merit,  which  should  sell  on  sight.  The  deep  golden  yellow  berries,  which  are 
produced  as  profusely  as  on  the  best  red-berried  varieties,  make  a  beautiful  contrast  with  the  green  foliage 
and  red  or  green  pot  cover.     Get  some  of  these  for  your  customers  who  want  '  'something  different. ' '

Greenhouse  Heating 

Subscribers  are  invited  to  write  the 
editor  of  this  department  with  regard  to 
any  details  of  greenhouse  heating  that 
are  not  understood.  When  information 
is  desired  regarding  the  capacity  of  boil- 
ers, or  the  amount  of  radiation  required 
for  a  greenhouse,  the  needed  temperatures 
should  be  stated  in  the  inquiry,  as  well 
as  the  amount  of  glass  in  the  side  walls, 
and  the  dimensions  and  general  arrange- 
ment of  the  greenhouses.  It  is  often  help- 
ful also  to  have  a  sketch  showing  the 
location  of  the  houses. 


MAINS  IN  HOT  WATER  SYSTEM. 

I  am  building  two  houses,  21x75  and 
25x75,  to  be  heated  by  hot  water.  The 
houses  run  east  and  west  and  are  well 

Protected  on  all  sides  from  the  wind, 
he  boiler  is  a  large  tubular  boiler  and 
has  three  outlets,  one  4-inch,  one  3-inch 
and  one  2-inch,  and  two  returns,  a  4-inch 
and  a  3-inch.  I  have  on  hand  about 
forty  feet  of  4-inch  pipe,  160  feet  of 
8-inch  pipe  and  fifteen  feet  of  2% -inch 
pipe.  I  have  also  four  runs  of  seventy- 
five  feet  each  of  2-inch  pipe  and  twenty- 
six  runs  of  seventy-five  feet  each  of 
1%-inch  pipe.  The  temperature  desired 
is  55  to  60  degrees  and  the  outside 
temperature  seldom  drops  below  zero 
for  any  length  of  time.  I  had  planned 
to  use  the  4-inch  pipe  for  a  main  flow, 
feeding  two  3-inch  pipes  which  would 
hang  under  the  ridge  in  each  house. 
Then  on  each  side  wall  I  had  planned 
to  place  the  2-inch  pipe.  Then  the  1%- 
inch  pipe  was  to  be  used  under  the 
benches.  I  hardly  think  it  will  take 
all  the  pipe  that  I  have  listed  above. 

Please  tell  me  how  to  pipe  the  houses 
with  the  pipe  that  I  have  on  hand,  not 
using  any  more  than  is  necessary.  I  in- 
tend to  build  on  each  side  of  these  houses 
some  day  and  wish  to  take  that  into  con- 
sideration in  piping  these  houses. 

W.  G.  L.— Colo. 

The  sketch  accompanying  the  letter 
shows  that  the  houses  are  built  side  by 
side  and  that  the  wider  house  has  four 
feet  of  glass  and  five  feet  of  siding  in 
the  exposed  wall.  Whether  there  is 
glass  in  the  wall  of  the  other  house  is 
not  indicated. 

The  piping  on  hand  will  provide  about 
what  is  required  in  the  way  of  radiation 
and  the  plan  suggested  for  installing  the 
system  would  in  the  main  be  found 
satisfactory. 

The  principal  change  we  advise  is  in 
regard  to  the  mains.  We  should  not 
attempt  to  beat  both  houses  with  a 
4-inch  main,  but  should  use  this  to  sup- 
ply the  larger  house.  A  3-inch  over- 
head flow  pipe  will  answer  fairly  well 
for  the  smaller  house,  but  will  not  give 
the  desired  results  in  the  house  twenty- 
four  feet  wide.  Run  the  4-inch  main  to 
where  the  3-inch  flow  would  be  taken 
Off  and  then  reduce  to  2-inch  pipe  and 
run  this  as  a  flow  on  the  plate  of  the 
outer  wall.  With  this,  feed  a  coil  of 
three  1%-inch  pipes  placed  upon  the 
wall.  At  the  farther  end  of  this  house, 
connect  the  oveibead  3-inch  flow  pipe 
with  three  coils,  each  containing  three 
IV^-inch  returns,  placed  under  each  of 
the  5-foot  benches,  and  with  a  eoil  of 
two  2-inch  returns  on  the  inner  wall  of 
the  house. 

While  a  3-inch  flow  pipe  connected 
direetly  with  the  boiler  will  supply  the

Kroeschell  Tubeless  Boilers 


It  will  pay  you  to  consider  the  advantages  of  KROESCHELL 
'BOILERS  for  Hot  Water  or  Steam  no  matter  how  large  or 
small  the  size  of  your  establishment. 

The  superiority  of  our  boilers  has  resulted  in  the  remoyal  and 
abolishment  of  hundreds  of  cast  iron  sectional  boilers— in  every 
instance  KROESCHELL  BOILERS  give  more  heat  with  the 
same  piping  with  less  fuel. 

KROESCHELL  BOILERS  have  no  bulky,  soot-accumulating 
surfaces— you  avoid  the  disagreeable  work  and  trouble  indis- 
pensable to  cleaning  boilers  with  complicated  and  tortuous  back 
and  forth  fire  passages. 


NOT 
CAST 
IRON 


The  high  safety  factor  of  KROESCHELL  BOILERS  eliminates 
the  danger  of  cracking  and  break-down  risks. 

Successful  greenhouse  owners  everywhere  insist  upon  KROE- 
SCHELL BOILERS  because  they  are  dependable  and  economical 
—you  get  better  and  longer  service— you  can  reduce  your  heating 
costs  by  burning  the  cheapest  grades  of  soft  coal. 

It  is  a  sign  of  scientific  management  to  own  a  KROESCHELL 
—a  business  management  that  insures  a  responsive,  efiScient 
and  profitable  heating  system. 

The  supremacy  of  KROESCHELL  BOILERS 

is  ^proven    by    their  country-wide    adoption.

pipes.  Altogether,  six  1%-inch  returns 
will  be  needed  in  these  coils  if  there  is 
no  glass  in  the  outer  wall,  while  eight 
should  be  used  if  there  is  four  feet  of 
glass. 

In  arranging  the  return  mains,  care 
should  be  taken  to  provide  approxi- 
mately  the  same  capacity  as  that  of  the 
flow  pipes  which  supply  them. 

As  outlined  above,  in  addition  to  using 
the  run  of  3-inch  pipe  and  three  runs  of 
2-ineh  pipe  in  one  house  and  one  run  in 
the  other  house,  there  wiU  be  twelve 
nuis  of  l^^ineh  pipe  in  the  wide  house 
and  either  twelve  or  fourteen  runs  in 
the  other  house.  With  the  4-inch  pipe 
and  the  2% -inch  pipe  used  for  the  flow 
and  return  mains,  this  will  use  prae- 
tieally  all  of  the  pipe  on  hand  and  may 
require  a  few  feet  additional  of  3-ineh 
and  2-inch  pipe,  if  the  flow  and  return 
mains  are  run  as  suggested. 

FBOM  COAL  TO  CSUDE  OIL. 

I  have  a  house  32x154,  with  flve  runs 
of  pipe  and  three  lines  of  pipe  in  each 
nm,  making  fifteen  2-inch  lines  of  pipe 
in  the  house.  If  I  were  to  substitute 
crude  oil  for  coal,  would  it  be  practica- 
ble and  economical  to  heat  each  section 
of  pipe  as  per  enclosed  diagram  with  a 
manifold  representing  a  miniature  boil- 
er, thus  having  five  manifolds  and  heat- 
ing only  the  water  in  the  pipes,  not 
what  is  in  the  5-inch  mains  nor  the  vast 
amount  that  is  in  the  boiler f  Coal  is 
a  serious  problem  and  the  night  man  is 
liable  to  walk  off,  leaving  me  in  the 
lurch.  I  shall  have  to  put  in  a  large 
tank  for  oil  storage.  What  kind  of 
burners  could  be  used  and  how  much  oil 
would  be  needed  to  heat  each  line  of 
pipe  for  sixty  hours,  keeping  the  water 
at  176  degrees?  My  reason  for  wishing 
to  heat  each  run  separately  is  that  we 
have  much  mild  weather  and  I  could  use 
three  runs  of  pipe  many  nights,  instead 
of  Iiaving  them  all  attached  and  heat- 
ing the  big  pipes  at  the  end  where  they 
eonnect. 

I  read  in  The  Review  a  few  weeks 
ago  about  one  man's  method  of  taking 
eare  of  the  fumes  from  his  oil  burner, 
and  I  had  that  plan  in  mind.  Will  the 
oil  burn  by  gravity  or  will  a  forced 
blast  be  necessary t        B.  J.  P. — Pa. 


What  is  proposed  is  to  substitute  five 
small  boilers,  to  be  heated  with  crude 
oil,  for  the  present  large  boiler,  heated 
by  means  of  coal.  There  seem  to  be 
several  objections  to  this  plan,  aside 
from  the  cost  of  making  the  installation. 
We  doubt  whether  it  will  be  possible  to 
arrange  anything  in  the  way  of  a  "  man-

"We  can't  do  without  it."— 

F.  J.  Hendershot  &  Sons.Ogden,  Utah. 

The   Standard    Thermostat 

is  the  best  business  partner  and 
friend  you  can  have.  It  protects 
your  growing  crops  from  ruin  by 
sudden  changes  in  temperature.  It 
is  infallible,  inexpensive  — more  re- 
liable than  a  night  fireman. 

The  Standard  Thermostat  will 
rintf  a  bell  whenever  .your  green- 
house temperature  rises  or  falls  to 
the  danger  point.  Place  the  bell 
at  your  bedside  or  anywhere  you 
please. 

This  is  a  word  to  the  wise— a  buy 

word  to  the  wise  grower.  Sudden 

temperature  ups  and  downs  ruin 

thousands   of    plants  every  year. 

Protect  yours!    Install  a  Standard 

Thermostat    now.    It    costs  only 

$15;00.  .Write  toda.v.

MILWAUKEE,  WIS. 


The  Market. 

Market  conditions  both  before  and 
after  Thanksgiving  day  have  been  bene- 
ficial to  all  the  trade.  The  growers 
were  able  to  cut  a  good  quantity  of 
stock  for  the  holiday.  While  prices  re- 
mained but  fair  on  ordinary  stock,  the 
retailer  had  thus  a  chance  to  offer  his 
patrons  flowers  on  a  holiday  without  the 
usual  sharp  advance  in  price. 

There  was  an  especially  heavy  cut  of 
mums,  both  large,  medium  and  pom- 
pons. Boses  were  in  fair  supply  and  of 
excellent  quality.  Violets  were  scarce 
and  prices  advanced  about  fifty  per 
cent.  A  few  poor  sweet  peas  brought 
more  than  they  were  worth.  Carnations 
are  still  scarce  and  there  appears  to  be 
no  likelihood  of  a  heavy  cut  till  after 
Christmas. 

The  day  following  Thanksgiving 
found  the  retailers  eager  to  buy,  show- 
ing that  a  good  clean-up  was  made  on 
heavy  purchases.  The  market,  however, 
was  about  depleted  and  ruling  prices 
were  higher  than  those  before  the  holi- 
day. 

There  was  not  a  steady  run  of  funeral 
work  in  November,  nor  has  there  been 
an  abundance  of  large  work  in  any  line. 
The  market  has  afforded  an  abundance 
of  stock  throughout.  Bad  though  some 
growers  may  feel  in  comparing  this 
with  last  year's  returns,  they  have 
reason  rather  to  feel  grateful,  for  the 
wholesaler  has  labored  under  a  heavy 
market.  Those  who  cut  flowers  in  the 
next  thirty  days  will  be  fortunate.

DETROIT,  MICH. 


The  Market. 

The  colder  weather  has  had  its  effect 
on  the  market,  both  in  decreasing  pro- 
duction and  in  increasing  prices.  In 
the  latter  part  of  last  week  incoming 
stock  by  express  was  stopped  by  the 
embargo.  Thanksgiving  stock  was  a  bit 
scarce,  although  large  quantities  were 
moved.  The  retailers  report  that  busi- 
ness was  the  best  they  have  ever  known, 
with  chrysanthemums  the  only  flowers 
that  sold  in  large  quantities. 

Chrysanthemums  arriving  are  quick- 
ly cleared,  being  a  bit  short  in  supply. 
Dolly  Dimple  leads  in  quality.  Some 
stores  colored  the  Eatons  pink,  which 
helped  to  sell  them.  Chadwick  and 
Golden  Chadwick  are  about  over.  Pom- 
pons have  shortened  up  in  supply,  as 
the  Thanksgiving  business  used  ujp  all 
those  that  could  be  cut;  those  to  be 
had  now  are  of  second  quality. 

Boses  are  of  good  quality  and  at  times 
a  bit  scarce.  Premier  is  the  best,  with 
Bussell  and  Columbia  close  behind  but 
clearing  more  easily  because  somewhat 
cheaper;  Wards  are  scarce.  Carnations 
are  of  fine  quality  and  sell  well  in  all 
colors.  Sweet  peas,  calendulas  and 
snapdragons  find  a  good  demand  and  the 
supply  is  short.  Stevia  and  Paper 
Whites  are  plentiful.  Violets  and  or- 
chids have  been  scarce,  because  of  in- 
creased demand. 

Various  Notes. 

The  storm  hit  this  city  Saturday, 
N'ovember  29,  and  did  considerable 
damage,  blowing  in  the  windows  in  the

Brown. 

As  a  result  of  the  storm,  Thomas 
Browne,  of  Greenfield,  Mich.,  had  his 
force  working  all  day  Sunday  closing 
up  the  broken  glass;  he  also  had  difi&- 
culty  in  pumping  water  into  the  boilers. 

Sidney  Beard,  of  Beard  Bros.,  sus- 
tained extremely  serious  injuries  when 
the  smokestack  was  blown  over,  crash- 
ing through  his  home,  hitting  him  and 
breaking  his  back  and  head.  He  was 
taken  unconscious  to  Harper  hospital. 
Charles  Plumb  had  the  men  at  the  range 
working  to  save  the  stock  from  frost. 

J.  Evans,  of  Hamilton  avenue,  passed 
the  cigars  last  week;  the  trade  con- 
gratulates him.  H.  T.

Use  Permanite — Save  Your  Coal! 

Whether  your  coal  bin  is  full  or  not — consider  these  facts: 

Through  every  leaky  sash,  through  every  broken  glass  up  gees  the  heat— down  conoes  your  coal  pile. 
You  will  need  every  pound  of  coal  you  can  lay  your  hands' on  as  it  is,  so  you  simply  can't  afford  to  go  at  the 
glazing  proposition  in  an  iidiffereut  way. 

Cut  down  your  coal  bills;  in  doing  so,  you  can't  aflford  to  experiment.  Keep  the  heat  in  and  the  cold  out 
and  save  that  coal  pile  of  yours  by  using  the  one  and  only  original  Asbestos  Glazing  Cement— Permanife. 

There  is  no  guesswork  about  Hermanite,  because  the  results  are  guaranteed.  When  the  job  is  done  you 
are  finished  -  no  more  puttering  around  every  now  and  then— you  are  through  for  years  to  come,!becauselPer- 
manite  lasts  three  to  four  times  as  long  as  putty  and  never  hardens. 

No  more  broken  lights,  do  more  unexpected  leaks  in  your  sash  with  Permanite  on  the  job;  Permanite 
seals  all  the  holes  and  cracks  absolutely  air-tight,  keeps  the  cold  where  it  belongs  and  makes  a' uniform 

degree  of  heat  with  a  minimum  amount  of  icoal. 

If  you  want  to  be  on  the  safe  side— order  your 
supply  of  Permanite  TODAY.

CHARCOAL 

is  the  best  thingr  for 

Muck  Soils 

The  thick,  heavy,  impervious  soils  reauire 
considerable  ventilation  which  charcoal  pro- 
vides better  than  anythinK  else.  It  also  acts 
as  a  liberator  of  many  plant  growth  essentials 
in  such  soils  which  are  otherwise  unavailable 
to  the  plants. 

Charcoal  lishtens  such  soils,  assists  in  their 
drainage  and  provides  an  absorbent  for  their 
excessive  moisture. 

'OLE  PIT  Charcoal  (extra  fine,  size  20)  will  be 
found  the  most  valuable  for  such  purposes,  since 
it  is  genuine  hearth-bumed  hardwood  charcoal 
and  has  full  chemical  Qualities.

CLEVELAND,  O. 

The  Market. 

The  market  has  been  cleaning  up 
well.  Business  for  Thanksgiving  was 
better  than  that  of  the  previous  year. 
Chrysanthemums,  of  which  there  were 
fine  Golden  Wedding,  Dolly  Dimple  and 
Bonnaffon,  were  short  of  the  demand. 
Pompons  were  plentiful  and,  after  the 
rush,  were  about  all  there  was  to  offer. 
Boses  were  far  short  of  the  demand  and 
realized  from  $6  to  $25  per  hundred. 
Carnations  cleaned  up  well  at  $6  per 
hundred.  Stevia  met  a  ready  sale, 
being  some  of  the  first  in  this  market. 
Violets  were  short  of  the  demand  and 
many  rose  and  pompon  corsages  were 
substituted.  Narcissi  cleaned  up  well 
at  $6. 

Various  Notes. 

Mr.  Baebel,  of  the  Canton  Landscape 
Co.,  Canton,  O.,  visited  this  city  re- 
cently on  business. 

F.  Hammell  has  sold  his  lease  of  his 
store  at  East  Fifty-fifth  street  and 
Payne  avenue  and  intends  to  open  a 
store  elsewhere. 

The  Park  Flower  Shop  has  had  great 
success  in  the  sale  of  its  new  line  of 
fruit  baskets. 

George  Semonnes  has  added  a  new 
delivery  car  to  his  service  for  the  re- 
tail store  of  the  J.  M.  Gasser  Co.  Mr. 
Semonnes  has  been  giving  the  florists 
good  service  in  the  city  and  near-by 
towns. 

All  the  wholesalers  closed  for  Thanks- 
giving day,  giving  their  employees  a

their  families.  W.  F.  B.

TORONTO,  ONT. 


The  Market. 

The  demand  for  flowers  has  assumed 
the  proportions  which  existed  before  the 
war.  The  people  appear  to  have  money 
and  are  spending  it  freely;  also  they 
are  giving  a  large  number  of  receptions 
and  dances.  While  the  amount  of  flow- 
ers purchased  for  each  dance  may  be 
comparatively  small,  the  aggregate 
amounts  to  a  great  deal.  The  florists 
are  benefiting  by  this  in  the  number  of 
corsage  bouquets  they  are  now  called 
upon  to  make  up. 

A  visit  to  some  of  the  greenhouses 
reveals  a  fair  outlook  for  Christmas 
stock.  At  the  present  moment  it  is 
scarce  and  is  probably  being  held  for 
the  larger  Christmas  demand.  The 
prices  have  already  advanced  and  a 
further  advance  may  be  expected  be- 
fore Christmas. 

Various  Notes. 

The  regular  business  meeting  of  the 
Toronto  Eetail  Florists'  Club  will  be 
held  in  its  rooms  December  8.  The  grow- 
ers have  been  invited  to  attend.  It  is 
hoped  that  the  growers  may  be  per- 
suaded to  cooperate  with  the  retailers 
for  the  betterment  of  the  trade  in  gen- 
eral. 

C.  L.  Vis,  of  the  firm  of  Van  Meeuwen 
ft  Tegelaar,  Holland,  wholesale  bulb 
merchants,  was  in  Toronto  last  week 
calling  on  the  trade. 

The  late  Herman  J.  Simmers  left  an 
estate  valued  at  $156,813.  This  is  left 
to  the  widow,  his  sister,  his  nephews 
and  niece.  The  estate  was  chiefly  real 
estate,  including  shares  in  property  on 
Yonge  street  and  King  street  and  an  in- 
terest i>  J.  A.  Simmers  &  Sons,  Ltd. 

During  the  mum  season  there  were 
some  gorgeous  window  displays,  but  at 
the  present  time  the  demand  is  so  great 
that  flowers  are  made  up  just  as  soon 
as  they  are  received.  As  a  result  the 
window  displays  have  been  suffering 
and  there  have  been  no  outstanding  dis- 
plays recently. 

J.  J.  Higgins  has  a  new  truck..  It  is 
finished  in  blue  enamel,  with  his  name  in 
the  usual  signature  script  and  "Say  It 
with  Flowers"  below. 

The  park  commissioner  of  Toronto  is 
planning  a  civic  nursery.    The  land  will 
cost  $35,000   and  will   probably  be  ler^ 
cated  near  Brampton.  J.  J.  H.

CYPRESS  BY  TEST. 
SUBSTITUTES  BY  TALK. 


Is  there  value  to  you  in  an  endurance  test  of  50  years  in  greenhouse  sashf  It  is  reported  to^  us  that 
sash  made  of  heart  Cypress  by  a  prominent  greenhouse  contractor  in  Chicago  and  placed  in  position  in  a 
greenhouse    at  Des  Plaines,  111.,  in  1868,  are  still  doing  service. 

Jacob  Pries,  Bethlehem,  Pa.,  has  Cypress  sash  that  have  stood  the  racket  for  30  years  and  are  still  on 
the  job.  And  these  are  not  isolated  cases — they  represent  no  more  than  a  fair  test  of  "The  Wood  Eternal" 
for  greenhouse  use. 

It  will   serve  you  as  well  and  save  you  the  nuisance  and  expense  of  repairs  and  replacements. 

The  argument  backed  by  such  facts  cannot  be  answered  by  mere  talk.  Ask  the  manufacturer  or  con- 
tractor who  wants  to  give  you  a  "substitute"  for  Cypress  to  cite  you  to  an  endurance  test  of  30  or  50  years 
to  the  credit  of  the  so-called  "substitute." 

That  is  no  more  than  a  fair  precaution  on  your  part — good,  ordinary  business  sense. 

If  he  -would  meet  the  Cypress  record  with  more  talk,  and  no  test,  then  there's  a  "nigger  in  that  wood- 
pile."   Y»xi  know  you  would  better  pass  up  the  "substitute"  and  stick  to  the  real  article,  which  is  Cypress. 

"PEOKY"  CYPRESS.  You  greenhouse  men  know  how  common  it  looks  and  how  uncommon  it  lasts. 
The  U.  8.  Govt.  Bept.  (Forest  Service  Bui.  95)  says — "That  the  disease  (which  produces  the  'peck')  has 
been  a  loag  time  preying  upon  Cypress  timber  is  apparent  from  an  examination  of  Cypress  logs  dug  from 
alluvial  deposits  many  feet  below  the  present  level  of  the  Gulf  of  Mexico.  Some  of  that  prehistoric  timber 
is  pecky,  though  it  has  been  buried  during  a  period  estimated  at  no  less  than  30,000  years.  .  .  .  The 
effect  of  the  disease  (known  as  'Pecky')  .  .  .  is  believed  to  act  as  a  preservative  .  .  .  and  to 
hinder  decay." 

Is  30,000  years'  "hindering  of  decay"  long  enough  for  YOUE  greenhouse f  ,  . 

There  is  no  known  record  of  rotten  "Pecky."    Use  nothing  else  for  benches  and  bench  standards.     It  is  cheap,  too. 

A  postctl  will  do.  a  letter  Is  better— eltber  brings  a  booklet  or  two  from  the  famous  CYPREiSS  Pocket  Library  (a  strictly 
authoritative  reference  work).  Vol.  3  is  all  about  "GREENHOUSES."  It  Is  FRE3E.  Send  for  it.  Also  ask  for  Vol.  2,  on 
•Pecky"— a  money-itaver.  Take  no  hearsay.  GET  THE  FACTS.  Then  ACT.  Vol.  4  is  the  Barn  Book;  Vol.  20  is  "All 
Farm  Needs  Book"  ;  Vol.  86  is  the  "Carpentry  Book,"  in  which  a  dozen  hard  Jobs  of  carpentry  are  made  easy,  and  Vol.  37

BSTDGEPOST,  CONN. 


Tbe  Market. 

Now  that  Thanksgiving  is  over,  every- 
one is  devoting  his  energy  to  preparing 
lor  the  Christmas  trade.  Some,  good 
eyelamens,  begonias  and  primroses  are 
to  be  seen.  Chrysanthemums  are  still 
abundant.  Carnations  are  not  so  plen- 
tiful as  they  were  a  week  ago.  Some 
eallas  are  to  be  had.  Good  snapdragons 
are  being  displayed. 

The  Thanksgiving  sales  were  quite 
satisfactory  and  in  some  cases  more 
than  met  all  expectations.  There  are 
numerous  calls  for  funeral  designs.  The 
ealls  for  wedding  flowers  are  not  so 
numerous  as  a  week  ago,  but  some  of  the 
trade  report  small  orders. 

Various  Notes. 

Julius  Beck  reports  a  scarcity  of  car- 
nations. They  are  used  up  as  soon  as 
they  bloom.  His  chrysanthemums  are 
exceptionally  good  this  year.  He  has 
some  varieties  on  hand  that  will  not 
bloom  until  later.  Funeral  work  still 
keeps  up.  He  is  getting  ready  for  the 
Christmas  trade  and  has  some  good 
poinsettias,  primroses  and  cyclamens 
on  hand. 

Victor  Carwardine  has  received  sev- 
eral funeral  orders  lately  and  wedding 
work  is  also  plentiful.  He  used  large 
•quantities  of  laurel  roping  and  numer- 
ous bay  trees  and  palms  in  decorating 
for  an  affair  given  by  the  Union  Metal- 
lic Cartridge  Co.  recently. 

The  Arcade  Flower  Shop  had  good 
sales  for  Thanksgiving.  Most  of  the 
sales  were  cut  flowers.  This  firm  is  be- 
ginning to  decorate  some  of  the  stores 
for  Christmas. 

Bobert  Hawkins  says  that  the  rainy 
weather  which  we  had  on  the  day  before 
Thanksgiving  made  the  florist  rather 
gloomy,  as  the  outlook  for  counter  trade 
was  not  promising.  However,  he  more 
than  made  up  for  this  on  Thanksgiving 
morning  and  reports  that  the  results 
were  decidedly  satisfactory. 

James  Horan  reports  that  general 
trade  has  improved  greatly  in  the  last 
few  weeks.  Large  quantities  of  cut 
flowers  and  a  good  number  of  flowering 
plants  were  disposed  of  for  Thanks- 
giving. This  firm  made  a  blanket  of 
pink  chrysanthemums  and  violets  re- 
cently. !•  L.  B.

Bloomington,  HI. — ^Frank  A.  Harder 
has  recently  returned  from  military 
service  and  is  again  taking  up  h^s  busi- 
ness, which  was  idle  during  the  war. 

Temple,  Tex.— The  Bell  Floral  Co.  re- 
cently took  advantage  of  the  inspiration 
of  its  bookkeeper  and  sent  out  to  its 
friends  and  customers  several  thousand 
copies  of  a  letter  which  she,  or  possibly 
he,  had  written  and  which  suggested 
in  enticing  language  various  reasons 
why  one  should  "Say  It  with  Flowers," 
•ither  locally  or  by  a  flowergram. 

Baclne,  Wis. — Harry  Benz  and  Joseph 
Eehl,  trading  as  Benz  &  Rehl  and  The 
Flower  Shop,  are  branching  out.  They 
have  leased  a  downtown  store  nearly  four 
times  as  large  as  the  one  now  occupied 
and  have  contracted  with  the  A.  L.  Ran- 
dall Co.,  Chicago,  for  complete  outfit  of 
new  fixtures,  including  a  display  refrig- 
erator of  large  size,  probably  to  be  han- 
dled by  a  refrigerating  machine.

Put  a  ''Hot  Spot"  on  Your  Ford' 


A  Red  Spot — the  Hot  Spot  for  Ford  cars  and  Ford  trucks — will 
keep  your  Ford  car  or  delivery  truck  on  the  road  and  out  of  the 
repair  shop.  Heats  and  thoroughly  vaporizes  the  gasoline  mixture,

every  drop  of  gasoline  you  put  in  the  tank. 

Saves  2  to  4  Gallons  Gasoline 

out  of  every  ten;    saves   oil,    repair  bills  and   carbon   trouble. 

Makes  Starting  Easy 

The  Red  Spot  consists  of  only  three 
parts.  No  adjustment.  Can't  get  out 
of  order.  Gives  your  Ford  engine  that 
smooth,  decisive  power  that  handles 
any  load  on  any  road.  Sold  with  a 
money-ttack  Guarantee  on  ten-day  trial. 
Price  only  $5.00,  delivered  anywhere.

Three  sturdy  AGMCO  pipe  frame  houses,  36x300 
feet,  and  a  fourth  (hidden  by  the  service  build- 
ing) 29x100  feet. 

This  money  mill  was  built  at  Addison,  III.,  last  summer,  for  Fred  C.  Meyer, 
well  known  to  the  trade  as  the  senior  member  of  tHe  firm  of  Meyer  & 
Dramm,  Elmhurst,  111. 

You  can  easily  see  that  these  houses  bear  the  hall  marks 
ofjall  AGMCO  houses  —  long,  clear-cut  lines  —  clean,  fin- 
ished appearance.  You  can't  hide  these  features  of  the 
AGMCO — they>re  always  outstanding  and  standing  out — 
telling  the  world  that  |here  is  an  up-to-the-second,  pro- 
gressive greenhouse  plant. 

Now  is  the  time  to  get  those  figures  and  plans  for 
the  houses  you're  going  to  build  next  spring.

Sounding  Some  Sound  Sense 


SUPPOSE  you  had  right  now,  10  to  35  thousand  dollars  of 
ready  money  to  invest,  how  would  you  invest  it  ? 

Isn't  it  so,  that  regardless  of  how  many  investments  you  have 
cleverly  made,  you  sun  must  "be  shown"  before  you  put  a  cent 
into  any  stocks,  bonds  or  enterprise  of  any  sort. 

You  comb  the  facts  down  to  the  last  possible  point. 
You  wouldn't  be  much  of  a  business  man  if  you  didn't. 


Some  of  you  go  at  it  the  same  way  when  investing  your  money 
in  a  greenhouse. 

Some  of  you  don't. 


Submit  an  estimate  and  specifications  to  some  growers  and  the 
first  thing  they  do  is  turn  over  to  the  last  line  of  the  last  page 
and  see  what  it  costs. 

Then  they  compare  the  cost  on  other  estimates. 
After  which  they  compare  a  tew  of  the  bigger  points  about  each 
construction;  take  another  look  at  the  estimate  and  give  the  or- 
der to  the  lowest  one. 


Then  again  there  are  others  who  comb  over  every  detail. 

They  are  the  ones  that  discover  that  our  truss  plates  are  double 

and  have  two  bolts  to  others'  one. 

They  look  into  the  size  glazing  nails  we  use. 
They  find  out  what's  in  our  priming  paint. 


They  lookiat  the  gable,  and  figure  out  whether  it's  stiff  enough 
so  the  wind  thrust  against  it  won't  be  carried  to  the  roof  fram- 
ing, and  cause  the  glass'.to  loosen. 


They  compare  the  size  of  roof  bars;'  the  size  of  rafters;  the  size 
of  every  piece  of  metal. 

Then  they  go  carefully  over  the  method  of  framing  and  bracing  to 
see  if  in  reducing  the  number  of  posts,  an  equal  in  strength  has 
been  put  into  the  roof  framing. 


Then  they  visit  a  number  of  houses  built  by  the  different  con* 
cerns  and  see  how  they  are  standing  up  after  several  years'  time 
test. 


If  possible  they   secure   comparative  crop  figuresrand  cost  of 
heating. 


With  all  these  facts  before  them  they  turn  again  to  the  figures 
and  nine  times  out  of  ten  decide  to  put  their  money  into  the 
house  that  is  the  best  investment  in  the  long  run. 


A.  S.  Burns,  of  Spring  Valley,  N.  Y.,  buys  his  houses  that  way. 
Which  more  than  likely  accounts  for  his  buying  our  houses. 


When'you  are  ready  to  talk  house,  say  when  and  where  and  we'll 
be  there.

Wholesale  prices  on  Gladiolus  cut  flowers  were  highly- 
satisfactory  last  season  and  wise  florists  will  find  a  good 
investment  in  making  a  liberal  planting  of  bulbs  for 
forcing. 

Considering  the  large  increases  in  cost  in  all  other  mer- 
chandise, Gladioli  have  increased  but  little. 

Write  for  our  full  descriptive  trade  list  on  Gladioli, 
which  offers  a  selection  of  the  most  suitable  varieties  for 
forcing.

Our  Mr.  Miller  Inspecting  a  Field  of  Cultivated  Rubrum  Lilies  in  Japan 


HARDY  LILIES 


A  few  cases  planted  now  come  in  very  handy  and  bloom  at  the  time  when  flow- 
ers are  scarce.  These  flowers  last  longer  than.any  other  flowers  you  can  use  for  a 
floral  piece.  They  improve  the  character  of  the  floral  piece  when  used  with  other 
flowers. 

We  offer  for  immediate  shipment  the  following  varieties: 

Rubrum^  Alburn^  Magnificum^  Auratum 

Sizes  7/9,  8/9,  9/10,  9/11,   10/11,  11/12 

The  quality  of  our  Lily  Bulbs  cannot  be  surpassed.  We  positively  assure  you 
that  these  Bulbs  have  been  properly  cultivated  to  produce  the  best  Bulbs  for  flo- 
rists' forcing.  This  type  of  Lily  grows  wild  in  Japan,  but  the  bulbs  must  be  culti- 
vated to  give  the  results  florists  demand.  During  the  war  very  few  were  cultivated 
for  export  purposes.  When  our  Mr.  Miller  arrived  in  Japan,  knowing  of  the  scarcity, 
he  immediately  purchased  fields  that  have  been  cultivated. 

To  produce  a  good  Hardy  Lily,  it  is  necessary  to  gather  the  Bulbs  in  the  moun- 
tains, where  they  grow  wild,  and  then  cultivate  them  for  a  season  or  two  in  open 
land.  This  method  improves  the  quality  and  has  been  long  practiced  by  the 
Japanese  growers.  Very  few  cultivated  bulbs  are  available  this  season,  so  you  can 
expect  many  uncultivated  Lily  Bulbs.  In  trusting  us  with  your  order,  you  assure 
yourself  of  the  best  cultivated  stock.

Our  business  doubled  this  year 


WE  did  twice  as  much 
business  this  year  as 
we  did  during  any  other  year 
in  our  history. 

This  shows  that  merchants 
realize  more  than  ever  before 
that  they  should  get  their 
store  records  quickly  and  eco- 
nomically by  machinery  in- 
stead of  by  the  slow,  expen- 
sive hand  method. 

It  shows  in  the  best  way  pos- 
sible that  up-to-date  National 


Cash  Registers  are  helping 
merchants  solve  their  prob- 
lems most  satisfactorily  to 
themselves,  their  clerks,  and 
their  customers. 

It  is  the  very  best  evidence 
that  our  efforts  to  build  a 
labor  and  time-saving  ma- 
chine are  appreciated  by  mer- 
chants everywhere.  It  shows 
that  up-to-date  National  Cash 
Registers  are  meeting  the 
needs  of  retail  stores  in  every 
country  in  the  world. 


Up-to-date  National  Cash  Registers  are  a  business

Many  a  florist  who  hesitated  about  buying  a  truck,  found  that  his  first  Stewart 
not  only  paid  for  itself,  but  brought  in  new  business  besides. 

Stewarts  perform  their  work  quickly  and  economically,  keep  running  and  save 
many  dollars  for  their  owners. 

$200  to  $300  is  saved  to  begin  with  on  the  purchase  price,  for  Stewarts'  sim- 
plified design  dofs  away  with  hundreds  of  needless  parts  that  add  nothing  to 
strength  or  durability.     This  is  a  big  advantage.     It  means — 


The  Truth - 

Less  dead  weight 

Less  gas  and  oil 

Less  wear  on  tires 

Less  time  out  for  repairs 

Less  wear  and  tear  from 

poor  operation 

The  proof — 


Our  Model- A  Stewart  Truck  is  now  five  years 
old,  and  actually  looks  as  good  today  as  it  did 
three  years  ago. 

We,  of  course,  have  spent  a  litOe  money  in 
keeping  up  the  appearance  of  the  car,  but  we 
believe  the  car  is  very  worthy  of  this  expense. 

This  Truck,  for  a  light  delivery  car,  is  surely 
a  good  investment  for  any  business,

Let  Our  Watchword  be  "Preparedness" 


N  VIEW  of  all  the  eircum- 

I  stances  connected  with 
this  year 's  Christmas 
trade,  the  keynote  of  the 
situation  is  preparation — 
immediate,  watchful  and 
active  preparation.  The 
heavy  demand  at  Thanks- 
giving, coupled  with  other 
favorable  indications,  gave 
assurance  of  an  immense  Christmas 
business.  Now  that  the  miners'  strike 
is  nearing  a  settlement,  there  is  an 
abatement  of  our  fears  about  coal 
scarcity  and  the  consequent  government 
restrictions,  the  insufficient  means  of 
transportation  and  other  untoward  con- 
ditions. Any  remaining  uncertainties 
serve  to  confirm  the  one  fact  as  to  the 
need  of  a  "forehanded"  course — serve 
to  accentuate  the  necessity  that  our 
watchword  be  "Preparedness." 


Preparedness  and. 

Of  course  it  is  vitally 
general  rule,  that 
we  endeavor  also  to 
increase  the  volume 
of  business,  by  such 
means  of  publicity 
as  are  available. 
Other  things  being 
equal,  the  prosperity 
of  a  man's  business 
is  in  exact  propor- 
tion to  its  publicity; 
his  success  depends 
upon  the  amount  of 
effort  that  he  makes 
to  draw  attention 
to  his  merchandise. 
That  is  a  self-evi- 
dent fact,  a  mere 
truism.  But  it  seems 
proper  at  this  time 
to  place  the  empha- 
sis not  so  much  on 
publicity  as  on  pre- 
paredness, since  the 
extent  of  each  flo- 
rist's Christmas 
trade  will  be  gov- 
erned to  an  unusual 
degree  by  the  ade- 
quacy or  inadequacy 
of  the  stock  and  fa- 
cilities that  he  pro- 
vides. The  retail 
florist's  present  task 
is  not  so  much  to 
create  a  demand  as 
to  be  fully  equipped 
to  cater  to  the  de- 
mand   that    already 


PubUcity. 
important,  as  a 


exists.  In  street  parlance,  "it's  up  to 
us"  to  make  our  stores  lively,  attractive 
and  "going"  concerns,  in  spite  of  any 
difficulties  caused  by  the  miners'  strike. 
Moreover,  some  of  the  best  methods 
of  preparing  for  business  may  also 
serve  as  a  means  of  increasing  busi- 
ness. Preparedness  and  publicity  are 
closely  related.  The  nearness  of  their 
relationship  will  be  indicated  to  some 
extent  in  one  or  two  of  the  following 
paragraphs,  and  can  be  more  fully  dem- 
onstrated by  the  readers  themselves. 

High  Prices  No  Hindrance. 

There  is  one  circumstance  which, 
though  at  first  thought  it  might  sewn 
unfavorable,  is  really  a  reason  for  en- 
couragement; that  is,  the  high  level  of 
prices.  The  everlastingly  troublesome 
question  of  Christmas  prices  should  ac- 
tually be  less  troublesome,  less  of  a 
bugaboo,  than  in  almost  any  previous 
year.  There  is  much  truth  in  the  argu- 
ment  that   undue   raising  of   prices   at 


1 

1 

kT 

^\ 

Artbtic  Basket  Arrangements  are  Popular  and  Profitable  at  Christmas. 


special  seasons  like  Christmas  is  detri- 
mental to  the  business.  But  that  argu- 
ment is  less  applicable  at  present  than 
in  almost  any  previous  year.  In  the 
first  place,  a  few  varieties  of  stock, 
on  account  of  the  more  normal  condi- 
tions of  the  source  of  supply,  will  not 
be  so  scarce  and  high-priced  as  they 
were  a  year  ago,  and  it  will  be  well  to 
push  the  sale  of  these  plentiful  items. 
Moreover — and  there  seems  to  be  need 
of  saying  this  again,  however  fre- 
quently it  has  been  said  before — people 
have  become  thoroughly  accustomed  to 
rising  prices.  Scarcely  anything  else 
in  our  daily  life  seems  so  fully  expected, 
so  inevitable,  so  much  a  matter  of 
course,  as  the  skyward  movement  of 
prices.  Daily  price  rises  seem  as  natural 
and  certain  as  sunrise.  If  one  article 
does  not  soar  in  price,  another  does, 
thus  keeping  the  record  of  ascents  un- 
broken. 

Convincing  a  Customer. 

Yet  flowers  have  not  advanced  in  price 
in  proportion  to 
most  other  com- 
modities. It  should 
not  require  a  great 
deal  of  skill,  then,  to 
convince  a  customer 
that  the  charges  for 
flowers  are  reason- 
able. Under  pres- 
ent circumstances, 
there  is  not  likely 
to  be  any  valid  ex- 
cuse for  not  receiv- 
ing fairly  profitable 
prices.  No,  not  nn* 
fairly  profitable; 
there  is  no  intention 
here  to  advocate 
profiteering. 

One  phase  of 
preparation,  that  of 
ordering  suitable 
stock  early  or  mak- 
ing definite  ar- 
rangements to  ob- 
tain it,  is  so  impor- 
tant that  it  deserves 
more  than  the  casual 
reference  already 
made  to  it,  and  yet 
is  so  indisputable 
that  it  scarcely 
needs  to  be  dis- 
cussed at  length. 
Every  florist  is  more 
or  less  aware  of  the 
necessity  of  study- 
ing in  advance  the 
probabilities  of  the

Christmas  demand.  He  knows  that, 
after  the  fashion  of  the  weather  prog- 
nosticator,  he  must  combine  present 
facts  and  figures  and  indications  in 
such  a  way  as  to  make  as  clear  a  men- 
tal picture  as  possible  of  the  Christmas 
market,  and  must  then  make  provision 
accordingly.  This  precaution  is  par- 
ticularly needed  this  year,  on  account 
of  the  precariousness  of  transportation.

easiest  course,   in  a  general  way,  will

Obtaining  Advance  Orders. 

One  of  the  best  methods  of  prepara- 
tion, practiced  by  numerous  florists  to 
a  greater  or  less  extent,  is  to  secure 
as  many  advance  orders  as  possible,  thus 
lightening  the  labor  of  the  last  day  or 
two,  increasing  the  total  volume  of  busi- 
ness and  making  it  possible  to  attend 
to  it  all  without  confusion  and  vexation.

be  to  promote  the  sale  of  the  com- 
paratively plentiful  and  low-priced 
classes  of  stock.  It  is  frequently  prof- 
itable thus  to  follow  the  path  of  least 
resistance,  if  that  policy  does  not  be- 
come too  confirmed  a  habit.  On  the 
other  hand,  there  is  sometimes  great 
advantage,  both  prestige  and  profit,  in 
presenting  for  sale  the  rarer  articles 
of  stock,  which  other  florists  may  not 
be  able  to  offer.  For  the  shrewd  florist 
there  are  infinite  possibilities  in  fore- 
casting the  future  conditions  of  the 
market  and  planning  to  "hit  it"  just 
right. 

Of  course,  we  all  realize  the  neces- 
sity of  finding  substitutes  for  azaleas 
and  for  some  other  plants  which  here- 
tofore have  been  principally  of  foreign 
origin.  We  are  all  aware  how  the  world 
war  almost  demolished  this  semi-foreign 
department  of  the  trade,  and  how  the 
Federal  Horticultural  Board  then  came 
along  and  completed  the  work  of  de- 
struction by  hurling  Quarantine  No.  37 
at  the  devastated  region.  Any  florist 
who  has  succeeded  in  saving  a  few 
azaleas  from  the  wreck  deserves  his 
reward.  But  there  seems  to  be  a  fair 
supply  of  other  seasonable  plants^ — for 
him   who   orders   early   enough.     Cycla- 


early  and  the  orders  have  been  placed 
on  file,  the  final  task  of  wrapping  and 
sorting  and  routing  and  delivering  is 
greatly  simplified.  And  one  of  the  best 
expedients  for  obtaining  these  advance 
orders  is  to  mail  to  a  selected  list  of 
customers  and  prospective  customers,  as 
early  as  December  15  if  possible,  a  neat- 
ly printed  card,  stating  the  benefits — 
especially,  of  course,  the  benefits  for  the 
customer— to  be  derived  from  early  or- 
dering. Attractive  cards  for  this  pur- 
pose are  supplied  by  some  of  the 
publicity  specialists. 

Since  such  a  form  of  preparedness  is 
also  a  means  of  publicity,  this  is  one  of 
the  instances  in  which  the  close  rela- 
tionship of  preparedness  and  publicity 
is  obvious. 

Planning  for  a  Clean-Up. 

It  is  evident,  then,  that  these  ad- 
vance orders  are  advantageous  to  the 
florist  in  several  ways,  expanding  his 
business,  lessening  the  intensity  of  the 
eleventh-hour  rush  and  improving  the 
quality  of  the  service  he  renders.  But 
another  advantage,  and  perhaps  the 
greatest  one  of  all,  is  the  clue  that  the 
advance  orders  give  to  the  florist  in 
regard  to  the  stock  that  he  will  need  for 


the  holiday.  If  many  of  his  customers 
have  already  given  their  orders  for 
Christmas  and  have  thus  given  some  in- 
dication, also,  of  the  general  trend  of 
popular  fancy  and  desire,  surely  the  flo- 
rist is  better  informed  in  regard  to 
the  required  stock  than  he  otherwise 
would  be.  He  need  not  buy  blindly,  to 
have  his  temper  and  his  profits  spoiled 
later  by  grievous  surpluses  and  short- 
ages. He  can  buy  intelligently,  with  a 
reasonable  prospect  of  the  devoutly  de- 
sired result — a  clean-up.  "Oh-h-h,  Boy! 
Ain't  it  a  gr-r-rand  and  glor-r-rious 
feelin'?" 

The  time  is  short  and  our  action  must 
be  prompt.  Let  our  watchword  be  '  *  Pre- 
paredness ' '  and  let  us  practice  what  we 
preach. 

HOLIDAY  PLANT  ARRANGEMENTS. 


Some  Good  Sellers  Illustrated. 

There  is  no  great  variety  in  the 
Christmas  plants — the  number  of  kinds 
is  limited  to  a  comparative  few  and 
they  are  practically  the  same  from  year 
to  year,  but  there  is  infinite  variety  in 
the  accessories  by  whose  use  the  capa- 
ble retailer  can  provide  an  assortment 
of  stock  rich  in  artistic  attractiveness. 
This  issue  contains  a  number  of  illus- 
trations of  the  popular  style  of  plant 
combination. 

While  there  is  an  excellent  sale  for 
single  plants  in  simple  form  with  the 
pots  concealed  by  infxpensive  covers, 
the  effort  of  the  flqwst  should  be  to- 
ward beter  things;  toward  those  items 
of  stock  which  give  liini  opportunity  to 
make  a  charge  for  his  artistic  skill  as 
shown  in  the  arrangement.  When  a 
sale  consists  of  a  plant  with  nothing 
but  a  piece  of  crepe  paper  around  the 
pot  there  is  no  opportunity  to  charge 
for  the  florist's  knowledge  of  his  busi- 
ness. One 's  experience  in  the  trade  can 
only  be  represented  in  the  price  when 
artistic  combinations  of  plaivts  are  of- 
fered. It  is  not  necessary  that  these 
plant  combinations  be  large  or  expen- 
sive- It  is  possible  to  make  up  artistic 
combinations  in  small  baskets  to  sell 
at  moderate  prices  and  yet  bring 
more  money  than  the  plants  would  be 
worth  without  the  addition  of  the 
baskets,  ribbons  and  artistic  qualities. 

It  is  not  in  every  store  that  big  mixed 
baskets  of  plants  can  be  sold,  but  every 
store  can  do  business  with  small  baskets 
filled  with  a  variety  of  material.  The 
small  baskets  call  for  small  plants,  but 
a  number  of  them  can  be  used.  If  the 
baskets  are  provided  with  metal  liners 
and  the  combination  is  carefully  plant- 
ed, the  keeping  qualities  are  excellent 
and  one  sale  leads  to  another. 


BRIEF  ANSWERS. 


R.  O.  W.,  Ind.— Before  attempting  to 
grow  sweet  peas  outdoors  "in  a  large 
way"  for  market,  consult  the  market  as 
to  the  varieties  and  quantities  wanted. 

J.  P.,  Mich. — Clean  the  mealy  bug  off 
the  coleus  by  means  of  a  fine,  strong 
spray  of  clear  water.  You  can  use  con- 
crete blocks,  but  a  solid  concrete  wall 
would  be  more  desirable  for  a  green- 
house. Hot  water  is  preferable  for  a 
small  house. 

C.  M.  W.,  Tenn.— There  is  nothing 
harmful  either  in  the  paraffin  or  linseed 
oil.

CHRISTMAS  PLANTS 

SOME  OF  THE  MOST  SALABLE  VARIETIES,  WITH  TIMELY 
SUGGESTIONS  ON  MAKING  THEM  READY 


SPLENDID  STOCK  AVAILABUS. 


To  Fill  Becord  Demand. 

Business  in  plants  for  Christmas  a 
year  ago  was  far  beyond  all  expecta- 
tions. That  it  will  be  better  for  the 
conoing  great  holiday  admits  of  no  doubt. 
Cut  flowers  experienced  a  few  weeks  of 
rather  dull  trade  in  some  sections  when 
the  chrysanthemum  wave  was  at  its 
crest,  but  this  happens  every  year  and 
is  expected.  From  Thanksgiving  on- 
ward we  have  seen  a  robust  market, 
and  all  inclinations  point  to  a  record- 
breaking  Christmas  sale  of  plants.  Prices 
have  advanced  all  along  the  line  and 
now  average  about  double  those  of  pre- 
war times,  but  this  is  not  too  much  when 
one  considers  how  labor,  fuel,  flower 
pots,  twine,  boxes,  paper  and  all  other 
incidentals  of  the  trade  have  jumped. 

It  has  been  a  good  growing  season  on 
the  whole.  During  the  summer  there 
were  fewer  torrid  days  than  usual. 
While  fall  has  had  more  cloudy  days 
than  clear  ones,  the  temperature  has 
been  above  normal.  Except  in  some 
western  sections,  winter  has  not  yet 
been  felt  to  any  great  degree.  This  is 
particularly  fortunate  when  fuel  sup- 
plies are  falling  dangerously  low.  It  is 
also  an  advantage  to  have  plants  grown 
with  as  little  artificial  heat  as  possible, 
especially  where  growers  have  to  ship 
considerable  distances. 

Cyclamens  Replace  Azaleas. 

One  familiar  Christmas  plant  will  be 
conspicuous  by  its  absence  this  year, 
viz.,  the  azalea.  Even  in  1918  a  fair 
number  of  Mme.  Petrick,  Firefly  and 
other  early  sorts  appeared,  but  this  sea- 


son they  will  be  practically  nil.  The 
plant  which  will  in  great  measure  take 
the  place  of  this  one-time  stand-by  is 
the  cyclamen.  The  cult  o  of  this  is 
becoming  well  understood  commercially 
and  never  did  the  leading  plant  fac- 
tories contain  a  grander  lot  of  plants 
than  at  present.  The  dreaded  "mite" 
has  been  little  seen.  It  is  becoming 
recognized  that  when  a  grower  has  a 
bad  attack  of  this  he  will  not  secure 
immunity  unless  he  drops  their  culture 
for  a  season,  for  while  fumigating, 
spraying  and  sterilizing  may  all  work 
wonders,  if  any  host  plants  are  retained 
of  this  popular  plant,  there  is  great 
danger  of  its  being  carried  over  on  them. 
Only  a  year  or  two  ago  we  imported  all 
our  cyclamen  seeds.  Now  a  great  pro- 
portion are  American-grown,  and  some 
of  our  largest  and  best  growers  claim 
the  domestic  are  superior  to  the  Eu- 
ropean seeds.  Certainly  in  beauty  of 
foliage,  size  of  bloom  and  richness  of 
colors  the  plants  leave  nothing  to  be 
desired.  That  retailers,  who  at  one  time 
thought  $60  per  dozen  a  stiff  price  to 
pay  for  cyclamens,  are  willing  to  pay 
double  the  price,  and  in  special  cases 
treble  and  quadruple,  goes  to  show  that 
the  cyclamen  has  become  a  popular 
plant  when  well  cultivated.  When  we 
take  into  consideration  their  beautiful, 
symmetrical  foliage,  above  whicn  stand 
numerous  salmon,  scarlet,  pink  or  white 
flowers,  with  swarms  of  buds  below  the 
foliage,  and  consider  the  fact  that  this 
plant  is  an  ideal  one  for  the  store  win- 
dow and  that  if  given  reasonable  care  it 
will  flower  for  weeks  or  even  months  in 
the  average  home,  where  can  we  find  a 


plant  which  will  surpass  or  even  equal 
it? 

Begonias  Next  in  Favor. 

Begonias  come  next  in  favor  to  cycla- 
mens and  are  now  to  be  had  in  consid- 
erable variety,  but  most  of  them  are  in 
one  color,  pink.  It  looks  at  this  time 
as  though  it  would  be  a  close  race  for 
supremacy  between  the  popular  Glory  of 
Cincinnati  and  the  newer  Melior,  with 
its  more  cup-shaped  flowers.  Personally, 
I  prefer  Melior  commercially,  but  admit 
that  when  it  comes  to  growing  specimen 
plants  Cincinnati  has  it  beaten.  The 
dark  foliaged  and  flowered  Mrs.  Peter- 
son has  a  large  call,  and  makes  a  good 
Christmas  plant.  For  basket  work  I  pre- 
fer it  to  any  of  the  other  begonias.  Some 
growers  have  entirely  dropped  Lorraine, 
as  it  does  not  hold  its  flowers  so  well  as 
other  sorts  already  named.  I  think,  how- 
ever, it  is  well  worth  retaining,  and 
small  plants  in  from  2% -inch  to  4-inch 
pots  prove  specially  valuable.  It  also 
makes  a  beautiful  basket  subject.  The 
white  Turnford  Hall  variety  does  not 
sell  well;  in  fact,  no  white  flowers  go 
well  for  the  holidays. 

The  new  Eliglish  race  (to  us)  of  be- 
gonias with  socotrana  blood  in  them  are 
worth  watching.  The  private  estates 
grow  beautiful  specimens,  and  our  wide- 
awake florists  are  beginning  to  see  great 
possibilities  in  them.  Their  flowers  are 
as  large  as  those  of  the  tuberous-rooted 
begonias  and  are  abundantly  produced. 
The  colors  embrace  crimson,  scarlet  and 
orange,  the  finest  possible  Christmas 
colors.  Another  point  to  consider  is  that 
this  race,  popular  for  over  twenty-five 
years  in  Europe,, will  withstand  the  arid

conditions  of  the  home  vastly  better 
than  the  small-flowered  varieties  now 
in  common  culture.  So  nly  advice  would 
be  to  watch  these  begonias  and  stock  up 
with  them  in  even  a  small  way  if  you 
possibly  can. 

Folnsettias  Have  Real  Ohilstmas  Color. 

Coming  down  to  the  real  Christmas 
color  in  flowers,  we  cannot  well  dis- 
pense Mrith  poinsettias.  They  are  finicky 
subjects  and  many  fail  with  them,  espe- 
cially when  it  somes  to  holding  foliage 
on  them.  They  are  also  extremely 
tender,  and  when  we  get  a  Christmas 
cold  wave,  as  occasionally  occurs,  they 
suffer  badly.  There  is,  nevertheless, 
nothing  to  equal  them  in  brilliancy  of 
coloring.  A  good  many  Eastern  grow- 
ers are  this  year  trying  the  California 
poinsettia,  which  seems  to  be  a  better 
grower,  branches  more  freely  and  makes 
a  better  pan  than  the  form  of  puleher- 
rima  we  have  been  growing.  Planted 
out  in  beds  or  benches,  the  plants  will 
hold  their  foliage  beautifully,  and 
bracts  up  to  twenty-four  inches  across 
can  be  grown.  These,  if  cooled  off  some- 
what before  being  cut  and  the  ends  of 


or  asparagus  planted  in  to  hide  the  soil 
and  bare  stems.  Be  sure  to  wrap 
poinsettias  up  warmly  when  sending 
them  out,  remembering  that  they  are 
more  easily  injured  by  cold  than  any 
other  Christmas  plants. 

Oranges   and  Ardlsias  Not  Abundant. 

There  appear  to  be  rather  fewer 
oranges  and  ardisias  than  usual.  These 
two  plants  are  of  slow  growth  compared 
with  solanums  and  must  therefore  com- 
mand a  much  stiffer  price.  Both  are 
splendid  plants  for  the  store  windows 
and  last  a  long  time  in  fine  condition  in 
the  home.  The  clusters  of  scarlet  ber- 
ries on  the  ardisias  will  stay  on  the 
plants  for  a  year  or  more,  something  we 
cannot  hope  for  from  the  more  every- 
day solanums  and  peppers. 

Cleveland  Cherry  Making  a  Hit. 

Fruiting  plants  are  numerous  this 
season,  and  the  new  Cleveland  cherry 
is  making  a  great  hit.  This  is  the  finest 
form  of  Solanum  capsicastrum  yet  in- 
troduced, and  many  thousands  will  be 
sold  this  month.  You  cannot  afford  to 
grow  this  plant  through  the  summer  in

The  Cyclamen  is  Among  the  Bijjgest  Sellers  in  Christmas  Plants. 


the  stalks  seared  or  scalded  as  soon  as 
they  are  cut,  will  stand  up  well  if 
plunged  in  deep  jars  or  vases  of  water 
and  held  in  a  temperature  of  about  45 
degrees. 

Poinsettia  plants  cannot  be  kept  cold 
or  the  foliage  will  become  yellow  and 
the  bracts  wilt.  Neither  can  they  be 
carelessly  watered;  let  someone  water 
them  who  understands  this  important 
operation  and  not  extra  holiday  help- 
ers, whose  knowledge  of  plants  and  their 
needs  is  generally  quite  elementary.  I 
do  not  think  there  is  any  finer  Christ- 
mas plant  than  a  well-grown  pan  of  this 
brilliant  flower,  with  some  ferns,  cyperus 


pots.  Plant  it  out  in  good  soil  about 
May  20,  pot  up  about  September  1,  and 
you  will  have  plants  which  will  be  big, 
heavily  fruited  and  will  need  pots  from 
six  to  eight  inches  in  diameter,  accord- 
ing to  whether  you  sow  seeds  early  in 
February  or  late  in  March.  The  yellow- 
fruited  solanum  sent  out  by  Carl  Hagen- 
burger  also  is  good,  but  will  not  sell 
as  a  holiday  plant  as  well  as  the  scarlet 
sort. 

Hard-Wooded  Plants  Gain  Favor. 

Hard-wooded  plants  are  rapidly  com- 
ing back  into  favor,  and  a  number  of 
these  may  be  had  at  Christmas.     The 


most  prominent  of  these  is  Erica  melan- 
thera.  A  few  other  varieties  may  be- 
seen,  but  melanthera  is  the  holiday 
heath  par  excellence.  All  the  erica» 
need  cool  culture,  but  I  do  not  know  of 
any  plant  which,  if  carefully  watered,, 
will  hold  its  flowers  as  long  as  E. 
melanthera  in  a  steam-heated  home.  As- 
all  the  heaths  have  fine,  hair-like  roots,, 
it  must  be  remembered  that  once  the- 
roots  get  dust-dry  the  plants  are  as  good 
as  dead. 

Camellias  are  already  flowering  well. 
and,  while  their  numbers  are  few  com- 
pared with  those  of  the  ericas  and  their 
flowers  are  liable  to  drop,  they  appeal 
to  critical  buyers.  Be  sure  to  keep 
both  camellias  and  ericas  cool  while 
awaiting  sales,  and  ask  purchasers  to- 
give  them  a  cool  location  if  they  want 
to  enjoy  them  long. 

Primulaa  Sell  Well. 

The  finest  Primula  obconica  I  have 
seen  this  season  were  grown  in  benches- 
in  a  cool  greenhouse  and  lifted  and 
potted  late  in  October.  The  plants  far 
exceeded  in  size  and  vigor  any  pot- 
grown  ones,  and  seeing  them  three- 
weeks  after  potting,  one  would  never 
know  that  they  had  not  been  pot-grown 
all  summer.  There  are  now  some  grand,, 
large-flowered  obconicas  and,  while  some 
prejudice  exists  on  account  of  their 
poisonous  properties,  they  sell  well  each 
season,  much  better  than  P.  sinensis.  The 
newer  P.  malacoides,  the  most  graceful 
and  decorative  of  the  family,  is  not 
seen  at  its  best  for  Christmas.  It  is 
far  better  from  the  end  of  January  on- 
ward, and  with  Easter  coming  early  next 
season,  a  good  many  vrtll  be  held  until 
that  date. 

Other  Attractive  Plants. 

Many  miscellaneous  plants  seen  in 
smaller  batches  than  the  plants  already 
named  are  worthy  of  note.  ' '  What  have 
you  new  this  Christmas  ?"«is  a  constant 
refrain.  While  I  have  seen  little  new,, 
here  are  some  interesting  and  useful  va- 
rieties which  are  being  offered:  Helio- 
tropes in  standard  form  and  nicejy  flow- 
ered; pans  of  the  brilliant  Euphorbia 
jacquiniaeflora,  an  old  friend  and  an  ex- 
cellent holiday  plant,  excellent  for  cut- 
ting; Nemesia  strumosa  Suttonii  in  pans, 
from  seeds  sown  early  in  August,  in  some 
charming  colors,  which  I  have  not  seen 
before  for  Christmas;  Freesia  Purity,, 
plants  in  pots  and  pans  of  this  sweet 
and  pretty  bulbous  subject  should  com- 
mand a  good  sale;  chrysanthemums,  a. 
few  nice  pots  of  late  pompons,  especially 
of  bronze  shades,  are  pleasing,  but  peo- 
ple are  getting  tired  of  mums  at  this 
date;  cypripediums,  the  old  insigne  and 
the  golden  yellow  sport  Sanderse  will 
appeal  to  "classy"  buyers  and  certainly 
the  flowers  of  these  plants  have  re- 
markable lasting  qualities.  Where  a  tall,, 
graceful  and  deliciously  fragrant  plant 
with  white  flowers  is  wanted,  nothing 
can  equal  Buddleia  asiatica.  Eacemea 
of  this  beautiful  flower  were  open  a» 
early  as  December  1  this  year  in  a  tem- 
perature of  50  degrees  at  night.  In  more 
every-day  plants  there  are  some  good 
zonale  geraniums  and  cinerarias  and  the 
dwarf  stevia  makes  a  really  nice  pot 
plant. 

There  are  other  flowering  plants  than 
those  named  and,  of  course,  in  crotons,. 
dracffinas,  pandanus,  ficus,  palms,  ferns,, 
selaginellas  and  other  foliage  subject* 
a  wide  variety  is  available.    Taken  aJl

Begonias  of  the  Lorraine  Type  Never  Lose  their  Popularity  with  Chrislmas  Flower  Buyers. 


in  all,  while  we  still  miss  azaleas,  our 
growers  have  risen  to  the  occasion  and 
given  us  such  good  substitutes  that  we 
shall  hardly  feel   their  absence. 


PBEPASATIONS    FOB    THE    BUSH. 


Plenty  of  Wrapping. 

It  is  always  well  to  prepare  for  cold 
weather  at  Christmas  and  not  to  try  to 
economize  on  wrappings  for  plants.  Be 
prepared  with  an  ample  supply  of  wrap- 
ping paper;  it  may  mean  unfrozen  plants 
and  pleased  customers,  which  are  surely 
better  than  the  reverse.  Paper  comes 
high  these  days,  but  we  must  have  it, 
and  be  sure  that  you  have  newspapers 
in  abundance.  The  more  expensive  oil, 
tissue  and  various  wrapping  papers  we 
can  no  doubt  cut  down  on,  but  in  news- 
papers we  cannot  afford  to  economize. 

The  need  of  clean  pots  all  florists  now 
understand.  It  is  nothing  less  than  an 
insult  to  a  customer  to  offer  him  or  her 
a  well  grown  plant  in  an  unwashed  pot. 

Attention  to  Watering. 

Now  about  the  need  of  watering.  It 
must  be  remembered  that  watering  is  a 
good  deal  of  an  art  and  one  which, 
naturally,  the  growers  understand  vastly 
better  than  those  who  are  retailers  only. 
Some  growers  are  also  retailers,  and  in 
such  cases  plants  in  the  stores  are  most 
likely  to  receive  proper  care.  I  have 
been  struck  many  times  with  the  care- 
less and  almost  ignorant  way  in  which 
Bome  store  employees  water  plants.  The 
man  who  understands  watering  is  a 
jewel,  a,nd  I  would  advise  either  grower 
or  retailer  to  hold  on  to  such  a  man 
when  he  gets  him. 

Impress  upon  customers  the  need  of 
watering,   particularizing    those   plants 


which  need  the  most  abundant  supply. 
The  card  tied  on  plants  by  some  retailers, 
"Water  this  plant  every  day,"  is  good 
so  far  as  it  goes.  Some  plants  would  be 
speedily  ruined  by  a  daily  watering, 
while  in  the  often  overheated  living 
room  not  a  few  need  it  twice  a  day.  In 
reality,  two  or  three  tags  are  needed  to 
cover  watering  properly.  Rubber  plants, 
palms,  aspidistras,  dracsenas,  crotons, 
Boston  ferns,  unless  in  small  pots  and 
near  radiators,  need  not  be  watered  more 
than  thrice  a  week.  Cyclamens,  be- 
gonias and  berried  plants  will,  on  the 


average,  need  it  daily.  Poinsettiaa  keep 
in  better  shape  if  a  little  on  the  dry 
side,  while  recently  made  up  pans  of 
mixed  plants  need  far  less  water  than 
those  matted  with  roots.

HOLIDAY  TELEGBAPH  OBDEBS. 

Care  should  be  exercised  in  the  ac- 
ceptance of  orders  from  customers  to 
telegraph  to  other  parts  of  the  country 
for  holiday  delivery.  At  this  time  more 
than  on  ordinary  occasions  the  varia- 
tions in  prices  and  in  stock  available  in 
different  sections  should  be  kept  con- 
stantly in  mind.  Should  the  customer 
specify  a  certain  variety  or  even  a 
certain  flower,  the  florist  who  takes  the 
order  should  make  sure  that  the  amount 
will  pay  for  good  stock  of  that  kind  in 
the  place  where  the  order  is  to  be  deliv- 
ered. If  the  sum  is  not  enough,  the 
florist  who  receives  the  order  is  forced 
either  to  deliver  another  kind  of  flower 
or  a  low  grade  of  the  blooms  named — 
unless  he  is  willing  to  fill  the  order  at  a 
loss,  which  is  not  what  he  is  in  business 
for. 

The  safe  course  is  for  the  retailer 
when  he  takes  the  order  to  advise  the 
customer  to  leave  the  filling  of  it  to  the 
florist  at  the  other  end  of  the  wire,  giv- 
ing assurance  that  such  a  course  will 
result  in  the  most  satisfaction  and  pleas- 
ure to  the  recipient  of  the  flowers.  He 
can  explain  the  variation  in  prices  and 
kinds  of  stock  available  if  the  customer 
needs  such  explanation.  If  retail  prices 
were  supplied  for  the  various  sections- 
of  the  country,  the  taking  of  holiday 
telegraph  orders  would  be  simpler.  A 
dozen  florists  of  Los  Angeles,  Pasadena 
and  Santa  Barbara,  Cal.,  use  two  page*

nounce their  holiday  prices.    In  the  ab-

sence  of  prices  from  other  localities,  the 
retailer  must,  as  suggested  above,  leave 
some  leeway  to  the  florist  who  fills  the 
order. 


AFTER  EFFECTS. 


To  the  observance  of  "Say  It  with 
Flowers"  week  in  Washington,  D.  C, 
Z.  D.  Blackistone  attributes  a  Thanks- 
giving day  order  of  a  unique  character. 
A  group  of  Boy  Scouts  gathered  at  his 
store  Thanksgiving  morning  to  carry 
boxes  and  baskets  of  flowers  to  sick 
children  in  Washington  hospitals. 

"These  boys,"  says  Mr.  Blackistone, 
"imbued  with  the  idea  of  spreading 
cheer  and  sunshine,  hit  upon  the  idea, 
'Say  It  with  Flowers.'  They  raised 
among  their  organization,  in  contribu- 
tions ranging  from  10  cents  to  $1,  the 
sum  of  $45  and  came  in  and  ordered 
the  baskets  and  boxes  of  flowers  for 
that  sum.  One  leading  point  in  this 
is  that  they  got  the  idea  of  giving  flow- 
ers from  the  '  Say  It  with  Flowers ' 
campaign  which  we  had  here  not  long 
ago.  After  the  boys  had  made  their 
visits  to  the  different  hospitals  and  dis- 
tributed their  flowers,  I  made  it  a  point 
to  visit  Mr.  Shaw,  the  local  secretary 
of  the  organization,  and  he  assured  me 
that  everyone  was  most  gratified  with 
the  response  which  the  flowers  received. 

"Thanksgiving  day,  in  the  general 
thought,  is  an  occasion  of  the  bountiful 
feast,  but  antedating  this  comes  the 
thought  that  man  cannot  live  on  bread 
alone.  This,  you  see,  opens  up  a  new 
channel  of  thought  for  those  who  make 
flowers  their  business  and  pleasure." 


MUELLER   SHOWS   SYSTEMS. 

Instead  of  sending  to  members  of  the 
F.  T.  D.  a  card  or  something  similar 
to  ask  them  to  send  their  Wichita  orders 
to  Chas.  P.  Mueller,  Mr.  Mueller  is  send- 
ing to  members  copies  of  two  of  his 
forms  which  have  done  good  service  in 
his  store. 

One,  a  ruled  form  5x8,  printed  on 
bristol  board,  takes  the  place  of  a  ledger 
account  with  the  various  florists  with 
whom  he  does  individually  but  a  com- 
paratively small  amount  of  business. 
These  cards  are  filed  according  to  cities. 
There  is  a  card  for  every  member  of 
the  F.  T.  D.  and  for  every  other  firm  to 
whom  he  has  sent  or  from  whom  he  has 
received  an  order.  At  a  glance  he  can 
tell  just  how  the  "balance  of  trade" 


stands  between  each  other  firm  and  his 
own.  At  the  top  of  the  form  appear 
the  city,  florist's  name  and  street  num- 
ber, whether  he  is  a  Eotarian  or  member 
of  F.  T.  D.  or  other  organization,  and 
what  his  telegraph  rate  is.  Below  are 
columns  in  which  are  made  entries  each 
time  an  order  is  sent  or  received.  They 
are  headed  "Date,"  "How  Ordered," 
"Item,"  "To  Whom,"  "Address," 
"Outgoing,"  "Incoming,"  "Date 
Paid,"  "Amount,"  "Check  No."  Such 
a  system  simplifies  the  problems  of  tele- 
graph business  greatly. 

Another  form  which  Mr.  Mueller  has 
found  useful  in  preventing  extra  trips 
of  the  delivery  man  is  a  tag  which  can

man  time  and  enables  the  florist  to  make 
a  direct  delivery  of  the  flowers  in  good 
condition. 


WILL  READERS  REPLY? 

The  writer  would  like  to  have  the 
views  of  any  readers  who  have  had  expe- 
rience that  bears  on  the  following: 

He  is  about  to  lease  his  greenhouse 
range  for  a  term  of  ten  years.  It  con- 
sists of  ten  greenhouses,  about  30,000 
feet  of  glass.  It  is  in  an  indifferent 
state  of  repair.  About  one-third  is  old 
and  in  ordinary  times  would  soon  have 
to  be  torn  down  and 'rebuilt,  but  it  is 
still  in  use  and  with  reasonable  repairs 
can  probably  be  used  for  several  years. 
The  rest  is  in  fair  to  good  repair.  The 
boilers  also  are  old,  though  they  still 
pass  inspection  and  as  far  as  can  be 
seen  may  last  years.  The  piping  is  in 
none  too  good  shape  and  will  have  to  be 
renewed  before  long. 

We  propose  to  have  a  valuation  placed 
on  the  whole  and  the  rental  is  to  be  on 
a  per  cent  basis.  The  question  is,  what 
per  cent?  How  should  repairs  or  re- 
building be  arranged?  The  only  way 
we  can  see  is  to  have  each  building  ap- 
praised separately,  and  if  one  is  thrown 
out  of  use,  to  take  it  off  the  valuation, 
or  if  rebuilt  by  owner,  to  add  to  the 
rent  for  cost  of  same.  We  think  a  new 
valuation  should  be  made  at  least  every 
three  years. 

Again,  should  this  valuation  be  based 
on  the  present  price  of  material  or  nearer 
original  cost  of  itf  Suppose  in  the 
course  of  two  or  three  years  the  entire 
heating 'plant  should  have  to  be  re- 
newed, by  whom  should  this  expense  be 
borne?  How  should  the  ordinary  wear 
and  tear  be  accounted  for,  such  as  paint- 
ing the  benches,  etc.? 

Any  suggestions  along  these  lines,  to 
help  us  out  in  our  dilemma,  will  be 
greatly  appreciated.  C.  C.  S.

ISSUE  RULES  AS  STBIEE  ENDS. 


Curtail  Country's  Biisiness. 

On  the  same  day  that  the  proposal  of 
President  Wilson  to  end  the  bituminous 
coal  strike  was  made,  Fuel  Administrator 
Garfield  issued  orders  for  the  conservation 
of  coal  more  drastic  in  effect  than  any 
promulgated  during  the  war.  Factories 
and  manufacturing  plants  of  all  kinds 
are  limited  to  three  days  of  operation 
per  week,  shops  are  limited  to  six  hours 
of  lighting  a  day,  and  offices  are  dark- 
ened at  4  p.  m.  Coming  as  they  do  just 
at  the  opening  of  the  Christmas  trade, 
the  orders  are  regarded  by  florists  as 
a  peril  to  what  was  otherwise  one  of 
the  best  holiday  businesses  they  have 
ever  enjoyed. 

Already  the  closing  of  industrial 
establishments  in  various  localities  had 
threatened  the  prosperity 
of  the  florists  who  derived 
their  business  from  the 
workers  employed  in  such 
factories.  But  the  antici- 
pation of  an  early  ending 
of  the  strike  and  the  con- 
sequent resumption  of  nor- 
mal business  led  them  to 
hope  their  difficulties  would 
have  passed  by  the  time 
the  holiday  buying  was  due 
to  begin  in  force. 

Bestrictlons  Tighter. 

Instead  of  such  allevia- 
tion the  end  of  the  strike 
was  accompanied  by  re- 
strictions more  drastic  than 
those  made  locally  before. 
And  they  are  not,  accord- 
ing to  statements  published, 
issued  for  a  few  days  only, 
but  may  last  weeks. 

The  orders  were  issued, 
notwithstanding  the  antici- 
pated settlement  of  the 
strike,  to  assist  the  country 
in  recuperating  from  the 
loss  of  35,000,000  tons  in 
coal  production  for  which 
the  strike  was  responsible. 

Officials  pointed  out  that 
settlement  of  the  strike 
cannot  bring  production  back  to  normal 
for  several  weeks  and  that  further  con- 
servation is  absolutely  necessary. 
Therefore  the  railroad  administration 
was  given  power  to  enforce  the  re- 
strictions  of   the   fuel   administrator. 

After  Dr.  Garfield  had  empowered 
the  railroad  administration  to  curtail 
coal  consumption,  it  issued  the  follow- 
ing order: 

"On  December  1  the  fuel  administra- 
tion gave  out  a  statement  urging  the 
conservation  of  coal  and  suggested  that 
local  authorities  adopt  regulations  and 
put  them  into  effect  to  carry  out  this 
purpose. 

"A  careful  survey  of  the  coal  situ- 
ation indicates  that  even  if  there  is  a 
prompt  settlement  of  the  coal  strike,  it 
will  take  some  time  to  adjust  the  coun- 
try to  a  normal  basis,  and  that,  there- 
fore, certain  restrictions  will  have  to 
be  placed  on  the  consumption  of  bitu- 
minous   coal    and    of    light,    heat    and 


power  derived  therefrom,  so  that  ur- 
gent domestic  needs  may  be  cared 
for,  the  necessary  foodstuffs  produced, 
and  really  essential  light,  power  and 
heat  supplied. 

~  * '  Already,  in  many  parts  of  the  coun- 
try, restrictions  as  to  the  use  of  coal 
and  coke  for  lighting  and  heating  pur- 
poses and  for  production  of  electricity 
and  power  for  such  purposes  have  been 
adopted." 

Uniform  Tbrougliout  Country. 

In  pursuance  to  such  needs  restric- 
tions were  placed  in  force  which  will 
operate  throughout  the  entire  country. 
The  most  far-reaching  of  these,  so  far 
as  the  florists'  trade  is  concerned,  are 
those  summarized  in  the  box  on  this 
page.  The  details  of  these  are  well 
known,  since  they  have  been  reprinted 


RESTRICTIONS   WHICH   PERIL 
FLORISTS'     HOLIDAY     TRADE 

All  stores  may  be  lighted  only  during  six 
hours  a  day. 

Office  buildings  must  cut  off  lights  not  later 
than  4  p.  m. 

Advertising  signs  and  show  windows  may 
not  be  lighted. 

Electric  railroad  and  street-car  service  must 
be  cut  to  the  bone. 

Factories  will  be  furnished  coal  sufficient  for 
operation  only  three  days  a  week. 


in  the  daily  newspapers  and  commented 
upon  in  the  light  of  local  effects. 

Retail  florists  will  find  it  difficult,  if 
not  impossible,  to  handle  anything  like 
the  anticipated  business  for  the  holi- 
days under  the  restrictions  imposed. 
Of  course,  recourse  is  had  to  all  sorts 
of  improvised  lighting  and  heating  de- 
vices which  do  not  consume  coal.  But 
even  with  lanterns  and  candles  and  oil 
stoves  there  is  question  whether  busi- 
ness approximating  that  anticipated 
can  be  done. 

The  real  point  that  concerns  the 
florist  is  whether  the  public,  under  the 
conditions  which  are  the  result  of  the 
fuel  orders,  will  spend  its  money  for 
flowers,  even  at  Christmas.  There  has 
been  an  appreciable  drop  in  sales  in 
localities  where  the  lack  of  coal  re- 
sulted in  the  closing  of  factories.  How 
tight  the  public  will  pull  the  purse- 
strings  at  the  Yuletide  season  under 
such     circumstances     is     the     question 


which    governs    the    florists'    state    of 
mind  as  to  the  holiday  prospects. 

In  the  larger-sized  communities  the 
restriction  governing  transportation 
will  be  particularly  felt  in  its  limitation 
of  shoppers.  Buying  will  be  curtailed, 
particularly  if  the  weather  is  cold,  as 
the  forecasts  of  the  weather  prophets 
indicate.  Similarly,  the  closing  of  the 
theaters  two  performances  a  week  and 
other  diminution  of  social  festivities 
will  affect  the  sale  of  flowers.  At  this 
season,  when  they  usually  are  numerous, 
their  absence  will  be  felt  the  more. 

The  sole  glimmer  of  hope  that  comes 
to  the  trade  in  its  outlook  on  Christmas 
business  is  that  the  ending  of  the 
miners'  strike  will  bring  about  a  re- 
sumption of  normal  working  hours  in 
most  cases  at  least  till  after  the  holi- 
days. For  the  drastic  restrictions  is- 
sued affect  not  only  florists 
but  all  the  lines  of  busi- 
ness which  are  aided  so 
largely  by  the  holidays  at 
the  year's  end. 

Hope  in  Strike's  End. 

If  the  miners  resume 
operations  promptly  and 
production  is  immediately 
increased,  there  is  hope 
that  the  public  would  not 
be  so  strongly  inclined  to 
curtail  their  Christmas 
purchases  and  even  a  pos- 
sibility that  some  of  the 
severe  features  of  the 
orders  would  be  eliminated 
in  view  of  the  fact  that  a 
fuel  famine  was  averted. 

But  operating  against 
the  expectation  of  a  quick 
return  to  normal  production 
is  the  miners'  custom  of 
laying  off  entirely  from 
Christmas  eve  until  after 
New  Year's.  Whether  this 
practice  will  be  observed 
this  year  is  a  matter  that 
is  now  debated.  At  a  time 
when  every  day's  produc- 
tion counts,  that  question 
will  be  one  of  some  effect 
on  other  industries.  In- 
deed, 90  many  factors  count  in  the  pres- 
ent situation  that  it  is  difficult  for  flo- 
rists to  estimate  accurately  what  an- 
other week  will  bring. 

Growers  are  given  concern  by  the 
orders  for  fuel  conservation  because 
they  are  not  sure  of  their  ability  to 
obtain  the  supplies  needed  to  replenish 
the  piles  rapidly  disappearing  under  the 
ravages  of  zero  weather  in  various  lo- 
calities. Though  most  greenhousemen 
provided  amply  for  the  winter  under 
ordinary  circumstances,  they  did  not 
stock  up  last  summer  as  fully  as  they 
did  during  war  times,  partly  because 
labor  was  so  difficult  to  obtain  and 
partly  because  the  coal  was  not  always 
easy  to  get.  The  fuel  secured  then  will 
tide  over  many  till  January,  when  con- 
cern will  give  way  to  anxiety.  Cars 
on  the  way  have  been  confiscated  en 
route  and  growers  are  forced  to  seek 
help  from  the  fuel  administration. 
These   officials  will  doubtless   see   that

florists  secure  enough  coal  to  insure 
them  from  total  loss  by  freezing.  How 
much  more  they  are  able  to  obtain  de- 
pends upon  the  local  needs  and  the 
speed  with  which  production  is  re- 
sumed by  the  miners.  The  developments 
of  the  next  few  days  will  mean  much 
to  the  trade  in  the  solution  of  the  prob- 
lems it  faces. 

A  Pinch  at  Omaha. 

Eeports  have  reached  Chicago  which 


indicate  that  the  most  severe  situation 
thus  far  confronting  the  trade  is  in  the 
Omaha-Council  Bluffs  district.  The 
general  situation  there  seems  to  be 
worse  than  elsewhere  and  the  florists 
are  hard  pressed  to  get  fuel  as  their 
stocks  run  low.  The  two  largest  places 
are  those  of  J.  F.  Wilcox  &  Sons,  Coun- 
cil Bluffs,  and  Hess  &  Swoboda,  Omaha, 
both  of  whom  are  reported  to  be  so  near 
the  end  of  their  stocks  that  they  are 
closing  down  some  of  their  houses. 


FORTUNE  IN  FOBESIGHT. 


Holiday  Hovers  Ahead. 

In  about  ten  days  from  the  time  the 
majority  of  the  readers  of  The  Review 
have  read  this  article  they  will  be^  in 
the  midst  of  one  of  the  greatest  Christ- 
mas rushes  the  florists'  business  has 
ever  experienced.  This,  of  course,  is 
only  a  prediction,  but  it  is  one  based 
upon  facts.  There  is  a  well  known 
proverb  which  can  be  applied  and  one 
which  I  think  everyone  will  agree  is 
most  fitting  to  demonstrate  my  predic- 
tion, viz.,  "Coming  events  cast  their 
shadows  before." 

Wherever  you  may  find  two  or  more 
florists  together,  in  fact,  everywhere 
you  turn,  you  hear  the  same  thing: 
"There  will  be  more  flowers  used  this 
Christmas  than  ever  before."  Now 
let  us  consider  this  for  a  moment  and 
see  if  this  statement  is  based  on  sound 
business  facts. 

Retail  Pace  Unprecedented. 

In  the  first  place,  such  commercial 
agencies  as  Dun's  report  unprecedented 
retail  business  and  that  there  is  more 
money  in  circulation  today  than  has 
been  known  of  for  many  years,  or  per- 
haps was  ever  known  before.  It  seems 
all  clsisses  have  money  and  are  spend- 
ing it,  which  naturally  increases  circu- 
lation; they  are  not  holding  their 
money  back,  causing  a  congestion. 

Look  over  your  business  since  Sep- 
tember 1,  compare  it  with  the  same 
time  last  year,  when  business  was  ab- 
normal, and  you  will  find  the  difference 
is  not  great,  if  any.  And,  last  but  not 
least,  consider  the  scarcity  of  stock 
there  has  been  this  fall;  what  is  the 
reason  for  this?  I  have  made  it  my 
business  to  scrutinize  the  market  close- 
ly and  my  personal  observation  has 
shown  that  it  has  not  been  the  scarcity 
of  production  that  has  caused  the 
shortage.  I  feel  safe  in  saying  that 
production  this  fall  has  been  normal, 
compared  with  other  seasons,  and  am 
convinced  that  the  shortage  has  been 
entirely  due  to  increased  demand. 

The  Governing  Law. 

There  is  a  law  that  governs  this,  and 
that  is  cause  and  effect.  May  it  not  be 
possible  that  the  publicity  campaign  is 
gradually  getting;  away  from  us?  Any- 
one who  is  in  the  habit  of  perusing 
these  columns  carefully  cannot  but  see 
that  this  increased  demand  is  by  no 
means  local,  but  is  from  one  end  of  the 


country  to  the  other.  "Say  It  with 
Flowers"  is  to  be  seen  or  heard  some- 
where every  day,  and  the  sooner  we 
make  up  our  minds  to  the  fact  that  the 
slogan  is  the  cause  of  the  shortage  of 
stock,  the  sooner  production  will  be 
increased. 

The  publicity  comniittee  has  done  its 
work  well;  you  are  going  to  see  more 
of  the  effect  of  advertising  this  Christ- 
mas than  ever  before — it  is  now  up  to 
the  retail  florists  to  do  their  part.  If 
you  have  not  already  engaged  all  of  the 
stock  you  will  need,  get  busy,  and  re- 
member how  you  had  to  close  your  doors 
early  in  previous  years  because  you  did 
not  have  sufficient  stock.  Almost  every- 
one I  interviewed  last  year  after  the 
holiday  told  me  how  he  was  obliged 
to  close  the  doors  in  order  to  keep  the 
public  out.  Now,  there  are  just  two 
causes  responsible  for  such  an 
emergency — insufficient  stock  or  in- 
ability to  handle  the  public  because  of 
insufficient  help.  "Of  all  sad  words  of 
tongue  or  pen,  the  saddest  are  these: 
'It  might  have  been.'  " 

Prepare  for  Action. 

Another  important  thing,  look  over 
your  stock  of  accessories.  Do  it  today; 
there  may  be  something  you  are  short 
on.  Your  time  is  becoming  more  lim- 
ited each  day.  The  supply  houses  will 
be  up  to  their  eyes  in  business,  but  if 
you  need  anything,  use  the  telephone 
or  telegraph  and  perhaps  if  you  are  a 
good  customer  they  will  strain  a  point 
to  take  care  of  your  order.  Have  every- 
thing about  the  store  ready;  have 
plenty  of  boxes  made  up.  But  it  seems 
useless  to  go  further  into  detail,  as 
everyone  who  reads  this  article  will 
know  what  I  mean,  or  perhaps  a  fa- 
miliar story  will  serve  as  a  good  illus- 
tration: 

Admiral  Dewey,  after  he  had  issued 
orders  to  clear  decks  for  action  at 
Manila  bay,  then  issued  orders  to  serve 
breakfast  to  the  various  crews.  After 
breakfast  was  finished  he  turned  to  his 
chief  of  staff  and  said,  "Commence 
firing  when  you  are  ready,  Gridley." 
Gridley  was  ready  then;  he  commenced, 
and  we  all  know  the  result. 

Make  Ten  Days  Tell. 

We  have  about  ten  days  to  put  the 
final  touches  on.  Spend  these  in  seeing 
that  every  detail  is  perfect;  it  will  make 
the  actual  work  lighter  and  will  be 
more  satisfactory  to  you  and  your  cusi 
tomers.  Plan  to  have  the  Christmas 
spirit  about  all  of  your  work.    For  in- 


stance, be  prepared  to  tie  all  packages 
with  red  tape,  and  have  holly  cut  in 
convenient  sizes  so  that  a  piece  can  be 
slipped  on  the  outside  of  each  box  after 
it  is  wrapped.  This  will  make  the 
package  more  attractive  and  add  the  ' 
Christmas  spirit.  Look  the  delivery 
trucks  over;  this  will  be  a  bad  time  to 
have  one  of  them  go  wrong. 

Bemember  stock  will  be  expensive; 
put  only  the  most  experienced  and  care- 
ful help  you  have  at  packing  boxes  and 
making  up.  You  will  have  extra  and  in- 
experienced help;  let  them  take  charge 
of  the  plants  and  stock  that  can  be 
plainly  marked;  this  will  not  only  be 
an  asset  to  you,  but  also  to  customers. 
You  will  find  it  profitable  to  have  a  sort 
of  rehearsal  for  extra  help  some  eve- 
ning during  the  next  week;  drill  them 
into  your  system,  especially  as  to 
charge  accounts. 

These  are  only  cited  to  you  to  serve 
as  reminders.  Every  man  knows  how 
to  run  his  own  business  best.  But  above 
everything  else,  be  prepared. 

A  prosperous  Christmas  to  everyone, 
is  the  sincere  wish  of  Tate.

OREETINGS  FOR  CHRISTMA& 


Tear  of  Accomplislunent. 

The  Canadian  Horticultural  Associa- 
tion has  through  its  executive  accepted 
an  invitation  to  hold  its  1920  convention 
at  Hamilton,  Ont.  The  steps  now  being 
taken  to  make  arrangements  leave  no 
room  for  doubt  as  to  proper  provision 
for  the  meeting.  A  strong  committee 
has  been  formed  and  aU  signs  portend 
the  most  important  convention  in  the 
horticultural  history  of  Canada.  Presi- 
dent E.  B.  Hamilton  has  just  put  in 
another  strenuous  week-end  at  Hamil- 
ton conferring  with  some  of  his  fellow 
officers  and  others  on  important  C.  H.  A. 
matters.  Following  is  a  copy  of  his 
Christmas  message  to  members  of  the 
association: 

GREETINGS  PROM   PRESIDENT  OF   C.    H.  A. 

As  the  Yuletlde  approaches  I  wish  to  express 
mj  deep  appreciation  of  the  earnest  cooperation 
of  the  officers,  committees  and  members  of  th* 
C.  H.  A.  to  give  to  it  the  standing  originally 
desired  by  the  fathers  of  the  association. 

"The  Call  to  Service"  at  the  close  of  the  con- 
vention In  August  has  been  loyally  answered  by 
all. 

It  affords  me  much  pleasure  to  inform  you  that 
his  excellency  the  Duke  of  Devonshire,  K.  O. 
C.  M.  G.,  has  graciously  consented  to  favor  ua 
with   his  patronage. 

The  coming  convention  at  Hamilton  next  Au- 
gust  promises   to   be   a    great   one. 

The  enthusiasm  with  which  the  various  com- 
mittees are  workini;  out  the  year's  program  can 
spell  nothing  but  success,  and  with  the  continued 
united  efforts  of  all,  1920  bids  fair  to  be  the  red- 
letter  year  in  the  history  of  the  association. 

One  cannot  but  feel  it  an  honor  and  privilege 
to  serve  as  your  president. 

I  thank  you  for  your  loyal  support  and  wish 
.vou  all  a  Happy  Christmas  and  a  Prosperous 
New  Year.  Emery  B.  Hamilton. 

The  president  find  officers  appreciate 
deeply  the  hearty  cooperation  they  are 
receiving  from  fellow  workers  across  the 
line,  and  feel  sure  that  a  still  further 
development  of  this  spirit  will  tend  to 
the  mutual  advantage  of  florists  both  in 
the  United  States  and  Canada. 

The  association  is  congratulating  it- 
self in  having  secured  as  patron  the 
governor  general  of  Canada,  his  excel- 
lency the  Duke  of  Devonshire.

^/svii/s\ir/svir7S<(irrSYir«vir/s\ir)«\ir/svir«tir^>(ir^r^r/SYirirs^ 


lURING  the  summer  of  1913 
the  attention  of  the  flori- 
culture department  of  the 
University  of  Illinois  was 
first  called  to  a  rust  on 
antirrhinum  growing^  in  the 
region  north  of  Chicago. 
This  rust,  although  it  was  thought  at 
the  time  to  be  of  little  or  no  economic 
importance,  has  since,  by  virtue  of  its 
having  spread  into  other  states,  affect- 
ing seriously  the  snapdragon  crops  of  a 
considerable  number  of  growers,  come 
to  be  regarded  as  a  serious  pest  by  all 
florists  who  depend  upon  the  popular 
antirrhinum  for  a  part  of  their  revenue. 

History  and  Distribution. 

Prior  to  the  summer  of  1913,  the  rust 
had  been  reported  but  from  two  western 
coast  states,  California  and  Oregon.  In 
1895  it  was  determined  as  a  new  species 
by  Holway,  an  American  botanist,  and 
named  Puccinia  antlrrhini  (Diet,  and 
Holw.)  However,  within  a  month  after 
the  station  was  apprised  of  the  presence 
of  the  rust  in  the  region  north  of  Chi- 
cago, four  new  areas  of  infection  had 
been  located  within  a  radius  of  fifty 
miles  from  the  point  at  which  the  dis- 
ease was  first  reported. 

Then,  in  September,  1914,  the  writer 
learned  that  snapdragons  growing  on  a 
private  estate  in  northern  Ohio  were 
suffering  an  attack  of  the  disease.  The 
report  was  substantiated  by  the  receipt 
of  a  quantity  of  diseased  material  from 
that  locality  at  the  station.  Later  two 
new  areas  of  infection  were  located,  one 
about  a  mile  from  the  infection  just 
mentioned  in  Ohio  and  the  other  in  the 
western  part  of  central  Indiana.    From 


So  many  Inquiries  for  Information  concern- 
ing inapdragon  rust  bare  been  received  that  The 
Review  has  exhausted  Its  supply  of  the  issue 
carrying  the  following  article  and  therefore  re- 

grlnts  this  report  on  "The  Bust  on  Antirrhinum,"

Agricultural  Bxperiment  Station,  University  of 
Illinois,    Urbana,    111. 

all  that  could  be  learned,  the  rust  in  In- 
diana and  Ohio  was  noticed  on  the  an- 
tirrhinum for  the  first  time  during  the 
latter  part  of  August,  1914.  One  grower 
in  the  northern  part  of  Indiana  report- 
ed the  loss  of  6,000  cuttings.  It  has 
also  been  reported  that  a  rust  quite 
similar  to,  if  not  the  same  as,  Puccinia

Fig.  2.— Badly  Infected  Antirrhinum. 

antirrhini  has  been  found  on  the  wild 
Linaria  vulgaris,  commonly  known  as 
butter-and-eggs.  This  linaria  is  quite 
closely  related   to   Antirrhinum   majus. 

Description. 

The  disease  is  easily  recognized  and 
each  grower  of  antirrhinum  owes  it  to 
himself  as  well  as  to  neighboring  grow- 
ers to  examine  his  plants  and  cuttings 
thoroughly  for  any  traces  of  infection. 
Within  ten  to  thirteen  days  after  a  plant 
has  been  exposed  to  the  rust,  numerous 
grayish  white  areas  the  size  of  a  pin's 
head  will  appear  on  the  under  sides  of 
the  lower  leaves.  From  three  to  five  days 
later  characteristic  rusty  brown  pus- 
tules begin  to  replace  these  spots.  (See 
Figure  1.)  These  pustules  continue  to 
increase  in  number  until  practically 
every  leaf  of  the  plant  is  attacked.  The 
stem  also  furnishes  a  foothold  for  the 
disease. 

At  this  stage  the  plant  begins  to  wilt; 
its  period  of  usefulness  has  passed  and 
in  a  short  time  it  is  dead.  Figure  2 
shows  well  the  condition  of  a  plant  two 
weeks  after  the  infection  had  estab- 
lished itself.  The  plant  was  taken  from 
the  house. 

Cuttings  have  also  proved  themselves 
to  be  quite  susceptible  to  attacks  of  the 
disease.  Taken  at  a  time  when  their 
vitality  is  at  its  lowest  point,  the  cut- 
tings fall  an  easy  prey  to  the  rust.  The 
disease  appears  on  the  cuttings  as  it 
does  on  the  older  plants,  grayish  white 


spots  appearing  first,  followed  by  the 
rusty  brown  pustules.  However,  where 
the  cuttings  are  taken  from  diseased 
plants  in  the  field,  the  pustules  may 
show  up  on  the  upper  leaves  as  soon  aa 
they  do  on  the  lower  ones.  The  reason 
for  this  is  obvious,  as  the  disease  was 
already  established  on  the  plants  in  the 
field  from  which  the  cuttings  were 
taken. 

Cause  of  Spreading. 

Two  theories  have  been  advanced  to 
account  for  the  presence  of  the  rust  in 
these  widely  separated  localities.  One 
is  that  the  rust  spores  might  have  been 
introduced  on  cuttings  shipped  in  from 
an  infected  territory.  The  other  is, 
since  the  rust  has  recently  been  report- 
ed  on  the  linaria,  butter-and-eggs,  that 
the  disease  might  easily  be  carried  over 
from  year  to  year  on  this  wild  host, 
which  is  so  common  in  the  United  States 
and  which  is  closely  related  to  the  an- 
tirrhinum. Under  these  conditions  the 
linaria,  growing  wild,  would  furnish  an 
excellent  medium  for  the  transportation 
of  the  infection  to  the  extreme  limits 
of  its  habitat. 

The  discovery  of  the  teleutospore,  or 
winter  stage  of  the  rust,  on  the  material 
from  Indiana  permits  the  conclusion 
that  the  disease  is  carried  over  from 
year  to  year  in  the  field  by  these  spores, 
which  establish  themselves  during  the 
early  fall  on  the  stalks  of  the  snap- 
dragon.    (See  Figure  3.) 

A  Warning. 

It  is  hoped  that  this  article  will  serve 
to  place  every  grower  of  antirrhinum 
on  his  guard  against  the  ravages  of  the 
rust,  which  gives  every  indication   of

causing  alarming  loss  it  allowed  to  go 
unchecked. 

After  studying  this  problem  and  after 
having  observed  the  infection  in  a  num- 
ber of  localities,  it  would  seem  advis- 
able to  observe  the  following  precau- 
tions: 

(1)  Cover  with  straw  and  burn  all 
dead  plants  that  were  left  in  the  field. 
Even  though  these  plants  show  no  signs 
of  the  disease,  this  precaution  should 
be  taken. 

(2)  Examine  carefully  the  cuttings 
and  plants  growing  in  the  house.  Pay 
particular  attention  to  the  lower  leaves 
of  the  older  plants,  as  the  heavy  mois- 
ture on  these  leaves  makes  conditions 
ideal  for  the  germination  of  rust  spores. 
Bemove  at  once  and  burn  all  plants 
showing  the  slightest  signs  of  infection, 
keeping  well  in  mind  the  description  of 
the  rust  as  given  in  this  article.  Dis- 
eased plants  should  be  removed,  roots 
and  all,  and  burned  with  great  care,  as 
the  spores  will  "fly"  upon  the  slightest 
provocation,  and  in  this  way  neighbor- 
ing plants  are  infected. 

(3)  As  heavy  moisture  on  the  leaves 
makes  germination  easy  for  all  rust 
spores,  it  would  seem  advisable  to  dis- 
continue all  overhead  watering.  Water 
only  from  below,  and  should  the  soil  drv 
out  too  rapidly,  mulch  the  bench  well. 

(4)  Do  not  propagate  from  a  plant 
showing  the  slightest  signs  of  the  rust 
or  from  a  plant  that  has  in  any  way 
been  exposed  to  the  disease.  The  selec- 
tion of  cuttings  from  diseased  plants 
has  already  played  too  active  a  part  in 
the  spread  of  the  infection. 

If  every  grower  of  antirrhinum  will 
take  these  precautions  the  chances  of 
artificial  as  well  as  natural  infection 
will  be  greatly  reduced.  By  so  doing, 
the  spread  of  the  disease  can  at  least 
be  checked.

LAMBERT'S    LOCALS. 

Incorporation  papers  were  filed  De- 
cember 5,  with  capital  stock  of  $50,000, 
for  the  Lakewood  Floral  &  Nursery  Co., 
of  Atlanta,  Ga.  The  officers  are:  Presi- 
dent, A.  G.  Rhodes;  vice-president,  J. 
G.  Rhodes;  secretary  and  treasurer,  S. 
F.  Gibbs;  general  manager,  V.  E.  Lam- 
bert. The  new  firm  has  acquired  100 
acres  of  fertile  land  at  Lakewood  for 
the  purpose  of  growing  nursery  and 
floral  stock  for  wholesale.  The  firm  has 
under  construction  two  houses  and  has 
completed  one  house,  which  is  used  for 
propagating.  It  is  the  purpose  to  begin 
active  business  January  1. 

G.  M.  Murphy,  for  four  years  in  the 
jobbing  end  of  the  nursery  business  at 
Atlanta,  Ga.,  has  a  well  appointed  store 
and  is  handling  a  complete  line  of  nurs- 
ery stock,  plants  and  cut  flowers.  Mr. 
Murphy  reports  business  good.  He  uses 
as  his  slogan  the  words,  "Everything 
that  grows. ' '  His  firm  name  is  the  Em- 
pire Nursery. 

M.  W.  Stallings,  formerly  manager  of 
the  floral  department  of  the  Nunnally

BETSCHEB  BLAMES  BAD  FALL. 

Twenty-two  days  of  rain  in  October 
and  weather  nearly  as  bad  in  Septem- 
ber and  November  hindered  the  digging 
of  gladiolus  bulbs,  reports  C.  Betscher, 
of  Dover,  O.,  and  some  stocks  are  still 
undug.  The  handling  of  peonies  was,  he 
says,  out  of  the  question.  Ohio  peony 
growers  could  only  get  out  part  of  their 
orders,  while  the  demand  was  heavy. 

The  problem  of  help  has  been  worse 
than  during  the  war,  says  Mr.  Betscher, 
that  which  can  be  had  being  much  less 
reliable  and  capable.  Wages  in  all 
branches  of  the  horticultural  trades  and 
especially  for  workers  under  glass  must 
go  up  materially,  he  thinks,  in  order  to 
secure  men  who  are  of  value.  Sunday 
labor,  long  hours  and  other  conditions 
must  be  changed.  In  the  end  price*  will 
go  higher,  much  higher,  in  his  estima- 
tion. 

Gladiolus  bulbs  are  in  heavy  demand. 


Prices  will  rule  higher,  for  the  crop  is 
relatively  short,  some  varieties  particu- 
larly so.  Geraniums,  as  a  result  of  the 
wet  fall,  damped  off  in  large  percentage 
and  what  promised  to  be  a  surplus  in 
many  hands  proved  to  be  a  shortage. 
Good  cyclamens  will  not  be  abundant 
for  Christmas.

The  Market. 

Trade  conditions  are  such  throughout 
the  Dominion  today  that  no  fine  stock 
coming  on  for  Christmas  can  be  spared. 
The  demand  seems  greater  than  ever 
and  all  growers  appear  unable  to  cope 
with  the  ever  increasing  demand  for 
stock. 

The  florists  generally  are  congratu- 
lating themselves  that  they  have  at 
last  come  into  their  own  since  the  high 
prices  have  made  it  impossible  for  the 
drug  stores  to  interfere  with  their  week- 
end sales  and  prices  of  stock  are  so 
well  maintained  that  there  is  nothing  of 
a  cheap  nature  going  today.  Conse- 
quently the  cut  flower  departments  in 
the  drug  stores  in  cities  like  Montreal 
and  Toronto  have  found  it  difficult  to 
get  along  under  present  conditions. 

Various  Notes. 

The  Dale  Estate  greenhouses  narrow- 
ly escaped  destruction  by  fire  during 
the  heavy  wind  storm  Sunday  morning, 
November  30.  The  fire,  which  origi- 
nated from  some  source  that  has  not 
yet  been  ascertained,  began  at  the  cor- 
ner of  the  well  seasoned  lumber  pile 
immediately  at  the"  rear  of  the  large 
coal  shed.  The  wind,  which  blew  at  the 
rate  of  over  eighty  miles  an  hour,  car- 
ried sparks  across  the  roof  of  the  boiler 
house;  the  sparks  caught  the  attention 
of  the  men  who  were  stoking  at  the 
time.  In  a  few  minutes  the  fire  brigade 
responded  to  the  call  for  help  and  aiter 
three  hours  of  work  managed  to  quell 
the  flames.  At  one  time  it  was  thought 
that  the  coal  house  itself  was  doomed; 
if  the  roof  of  the  boiler  section  ad- 
joining had  given  way,  there  is  no  doubt 
that  the  boilers  would  have  been 
put  out  of  commission  and  the  fire 
would  probably  have  caught  the  green- 
houses as  well.  During  the  storm  the 
two  large  sections  of  the  new  wall, 
twenty-two  inches  thick,  at  the  heating 
plant  in  course  of  construction  were 
blown  down  by  the  heavy  wind.  It 
was  hoped  that  the  heating  section 
would  be  completed  and  in  operation  by 
the  end  of  the  year,  but  this  setback 
will  hardly  admit  of  this,  although 
strenuous  efforts  are  being  made  to 
house  in  the  boilers  in  such  a  way  that 
there  will  be  a  certain  amount  of  steam 
available  before  the  extremely  cold 
weather  begins.  Further  building  opera- 
tions will  be  deferred  until  spring. 

W.  G.  Peacock  recently  returned  from 
a  trip  to  Montreal. 

Mr.  McHajdy  has  just  taken  over  the 
Mclntyre  greenhouses  here,  having 
bought  them  from  the  proprietor  for  the 
sum  of  $40,000.  The  business  has  been 
run  for  the  last  seven  years  by  W.  G. 
Mulliss  and  Mr.  McHardy  intends  to 
cultivate  a  similar  quality  of  mixed 
stock.  W.  G.  P.

CARNATION  LEAT-SPOT. 

I  bought  a  large  number  of  carnation 
plants  in  September  from  a  Chicago 
firm  and  they  looked  like  fine,  large 
plants.  I  planted  them  the  same  day 
they  arrived  and  have  given  them  every 
care  possible;  all  at  once,  the  Good 
Cheer  variety  started  to  go  down.  They 
seem  to  be  affected  with  some  kind  of 
black  spot,  which  affects  the  leaves 
first  and  goes  on  down  into  the  plant. 
I  have  picked  off  all  diseased  foliage 
and  worked  in  a  little  lime  in  the  soil. 
What  else  can -I  do?  I  am  sending  you 
some  of  the  foliage  to  examine. 

A.  L.  C— Tenn. 


Your  plants  are  affected  with  the 
disease  known  as  carnation  leaf-spot. 
This  disease  is  usually  started  by  too 
much  moisture  on  the  foliage  and  takes 
on  its  most  virulent  form  during  ex- 
treme heat.  These  plants,  having  been 
transported  from  a  cool  northern  cli- 
mate to  yoHr  much  warmer  climate  at 
a  time  when  growth  is  rapid  and  soft, 
were  naturally  susceptible  to  this  dis- 
ease. I  have  found  Good  Cheer  more 
prone  to  lose  its  foliage  after  being 
benched  than  most  varieties,  but  it  al- 
ways took  hold  and  started  off  growing 
well.  Extremely  large  plants  would 
probably  be  more  susceptible  to  this 
disease  than  medium-sized*  and  better 
matured  plants.  Pick  off  all  the  spotted 
leaves  you  can  find  and  then  spray  the 
plants  thoroughly  with  Bordeaux  mix- 
ture. Keep  the  atmosphere  in  your 
houses  slightly  charged  with  the  fumes 
of  sulphur  by  painting  one  of  the  steam 
pipes  in  each  house  with  a  mixture  of 
lime,  sulphur  and  water,  using  equal 
parts  of  the  lime  and  the  sulphur.

BRANCH-BOT  ON  HERAIJ}. 

We  are  sending  you  one  Herald  car- 
nation plant  and  should  like  to  know 
what  is  wrong  with  it  and  what  to  do 
for  it.  The  trouble  affects  only  the 
Herald  variety;  other  varieties  receiv- 
ing the  same  treatment,  soil,  etc.,  are 
doing  especially  well.  A  few  leaves 
turn  yellow  on  a  branch  and  in  a  short 
while  the  entire  branch  is  affected  and 
dies;  one  by  one  the  branches  die  until 
the  entire  plant  is  dead.  We  should 
like  to  plant  something  in  place  of  the 
plant^  that  die  out.  We  are  wholesale 
florists.  What  would  you  recommend 
us  to  plant  and  what  treatment  should 
we  give  it?  Will  soil  that  has  been 
used  in  the  greenhouse  during  the  past 
season,    well   manured  and   plowed,   be 


all  right  to  put  back  in  the  greenhouse 
this  coming  season;  if  not,  what  would 
be  best  to  plant  or  sow  in  that  soil 
to  put  it  in  first-class  shape  for  green- 
houses? S.  B,— 111. 


Herald  was  always  more  or  less  sus- 
ceptible to  the  branch-rot  disease, 
which  is  destroying  your  plants  now. 
There  is  little  to  be  done  to  counteract 
it.  After  it  once  destroys  a  branch  of  a 
plant,  the  whole  plant  usually  goes 
sooner  or  later.  Sometimes  one  can  cut 
away  the  affected  branch  and  save  the 
plant,  but  not  often.  If  a  large  per- 
centage of  the  plants  have  died  out,  it 
would  probably  be  advisable  to  tear 
out  the  balance  and  replant  with  some- 
thing else.  To  fill  in  the  spaces  where 
plants  have  died  out  would  not  prove 
satisfactory,  as  more  plants  will  die  and 
you  would  have  a  ragged  looking  bench 
all  the  time.  There  are  a  number  of 
crops  you  could  replant  this  space  with 
to  good  advantage.  Snapdragons  will 
yield  a  good  return  if  your  market  will 
take  them.  Calendulas  will  also  come 
along  quickly  if  you  will  procure  good, 
strong  plants  at  once.  Ten  weeks' 
stocks  and  fever-few  will  pay  well  and 


PROPAGANDA 


last  year  we  saw  some  candytuft  that 
sold  at  a  good  profit.  Delphinium 
may  be  planted  in  now,  will  produce  a 
crop  of  good  quality  in  April  and  May, 
and  always  sells  well.  You  will  prob- 
ably need  some  room  for  your  young 
carnation  stock  a  little  later  and  it 
might  pay  you  to  keep  the  Herald  going 
until  you  need  the  room  for  potting  up 
your  young  stock,  even  though  the  yield 
may  be  somewhat  reduced.  If  you  will 
thoroughly  cleanse  the  bench  after 
taking  out  the  soil,  no  harm  should  be- 
fall the  young  plants.  That  would  pay 
better  than  to  plant  with  one  of  these 
other  crops  and  then  later  on  tear  out 
perfectly  good  carnations  to  make  room 
for  the  young  stock.  A.  F.  J.  B. 


FAIRY  RING  ON  CARNATIONS. 

Please  tell  me  what  is  wrong  with 
the  carnation  shoots  which  I  am  sending 
you;  also  what  the  remedy  is.  Thenan- 
thos  is  the  only  variety  affected.  The 
trouble  seems  to  start  in  cloudy,  fall 
weather  and  continue  until  the  follow- 
ing spring.  I  had  a  similar  case  last 
year,  which  I  attributed  to  a  check  in 
the  growth,  but  now  I  am  certain  that 
that  was  not  the  trouble,  as  these  were 
especially  strong  plants,  some  carrying 
twenty-five  shoots  when  they  were 
housed  in  July  and  August.  I  use  Nico- 
fume  and  Nicoticide  for  spraying  and 
also  sprayed  once  with  salt;  I  hardly 
think  that  could  be  the  cause  of  the 
trouble,  since  only  a  few  plants  are  as 
yet  affected.  I  have  not  been  able  to 
discover  any  worm  or  borer  of  any  sort.

Your  Thenanthos  plants  are  affected 
with  fairy  ring.  There  were  also  some 
red  spiders  on  the  leaves.  You  have  a 
rather  peculiar  condition  in  that  you 
have  the  red  spider  on  account  of  lack 
of  syringing  and  you  have  the  fairy 
ring,  which  usually  comes  from  too  much 
moisture  on  the  foliage  or  in  the  atmos- 
phere. It  comes  generally  during  a 
warm,  humid  spell.  Probably  you  did 
not  use  the  salt  freely  enough.  One 
thorough  application  each  week  should 
keep  the  plants  clean  without  any  addi- 
tional syringing.  Overhead  watering 
should  be  discontinued  after  the  plants 
are  established  on  the  benches. 

The  fairy  ring  is  the  more  serious  of 
the  two  troubles  and  should  be  at- 
tended to  first.  Pick  off  as  many  of  the 
affected  leaves  as  possible.  Then  syringe 
with  all  the  force  at  your  command,  di- 
rectly from  the  faucet.  Use  no  salt.

Bepeat  the  Bordeaux  treatment  every 
week  or  ten  days  until  you  have  the  dis-

MEN  OF  ACTION. 


Charles  H.  Qrakelow. 

The  character  of  the  oratory  heard  at 
the  conventions  of  our  national  trade 
bodies  compares  favorably  with  that  of 
business  men  in  other  fields  of  endeavor, 
except,  of  course,  those  professions  in 
which  elegant  diction  is  an  essential  re- 
quirement. It  is  a  pleasure  indeed  to 
hear  many  of  our  leading  florists  dis- 
course at  length  upon  topics  peculiar  to 
their  trade.  They  know  their  subjects 
well  and  upon  questions  nearest  their 
hearts  frequently  speak  with  fervor, 
force  and  feeling,  regaling  the  senses 
of  their  hearers  and  stirring  to  action 
fellow-workers  given  to  apathy. 

Alone  and  in  a  class  by  himself,  in 
this  respect,  stands  Charles  H.  Grakelow, 
with  whose  splendid  elocution  we  are  all 
familiar.  It  matters  little  what  the  oc- 
casion; before  an  audience  this  wizard 
of  the  spoken  word  never  fails  to  acquit 
himself  in  a  manner  typical  of  the  mas- 
ter. Without  apparent  effort  his  fancy 
soars  to  noble  heights  and  without  dif- 
ficulty comes  the  subtle  phrase  that 
clothes  his  winged  thoughts.  The  most 
commonplace  topics  are  imparted  dig- 
nity by  his  creative  faculty  and  dull- 
ness is  changed  to  entertainment  by  his 
scintillating  wit.  We  know  not  from 
what  source  was  derived  the  wonderful 
eloquence  of  this  brilliant  man,  but, 
united  with  his  mastery  of  the  art  of 
public  speaking  and  his  willingness  to 
serve,  it  is  a  vast  and  constructive  in- 
fluence in  the  advancement  of  his  and 
our  profession.  With  a  soul  filled  to 
the  brim  with  beautiful  images,  it  is 
peculiarly  fitting  that  flowers  are  found 
in  the  hands  of  Charles  H.  Grakelow. 

Paol  KUngspom. 

Caring  little  for  the  man  that  falls 
by  the  wayside,  the  business  world  is 
always  vitally  interested  in  the  man  that 
makes  good.  Men  of  action  are  never 
failures;  they  may  receive  temporary 
setbacks,  which,  their  mettle  true, 
serve  only  to  increase  their  efforts. 

Taking  the  immortal  Greeley's  advice, 
a  number  of  years  ago  Paul  KUngspom 
went  west,  locating  in  that  greatest  of 
truly  American  cities,  Chicago.  By 
trade  a  florist,  he  continued  in  his  call- 
ing, advancing  steadily  by  dint  of  hard 
work.  Today  he  is  one  of  the  best  known 
and  most  successful  wholesale  florists 
in  the  great  central  market.  Not  long 
ago  the  Chicago  Florists*  Club  by  nomi- 
nating him  for  its  president,  which  office 
he  declined,  showed  the  same  apprecia- 
tion of  merit  as  did  the  S.  A.  F.  last 
August  in  electing  him  to  its  directorate. 
His  efforts  in  behalf  of  the  parent  or- 
ganization certainly  entitled  him  to  that 
distinction. 

That  it  is  impossible  to  keep  a  good 
man  down  is  proved  by  the  success  of 
this  energetic  young  man.     The  way  is 


open  to  all,  its  successful  course  being 
dependent  upon  untiring  and  intelligent 
application ;  the  reward  is  well  worth  the 
effort.  The  career  of  Paul  Klingspom 
supplies  encouragement  to  the  young 
florist  who  has  lost  hope  by  reason  of 
the  absence  of  opportunity  in  his  com- 
munity. The  country  is  large,  the  trade 
is  prosperous  and  it  is  merely  a  ques- 
tion of  the  lack  or  possession  of  initia- 
tive and  ability  as  to  whether  he  stays 
in  the  rut  or  emerges  progressively 
from  it. 

Vincent  Gorly. 

At  the  F.  T.  D.  meeting  in  Cleveland, 
1918,  Vincent  Gorly  won  the  esteem  of 
many  fiorists  present  by  reason  of  his 
zealous  advocacy  of  the  Adoption  of  a 
uniform  language  of  flowers.    Although 


his  measure  met  with  the  disapproval 
of  the  meeting,  he  was  himself 
thoroughly  convinced  of  its  merit. 

Again  at  Buffalo,  last  October,  before 
the  same  body,  he  presented  a  carefully 
devised  plan  for  associating  a  certain 
seasonable  flower  with  each  individual 
month  of  the  year.  He  championed  his 
plan  with  his  customary  zeal,  but  it  was 
not  accepted — a  result  that  did  not-  in 
the  least  weaken  his  conviction. 

We  are  not  dealing  with  the  intrinsic 
worth  of  either  proposition  here;  we 
mention  them  merely  to  emphasize  our 
belief  that  Vincent  Gorly  is  a  business 
man  of  practical  and  constructive  ideas. 
Progress  depends  upon  the  creation  of 
new  outlets  for  our  wares  and  the  man 
capable  of  evolving  novel  ideas  in  this 
direction  and  presenting  them  in  a  con> 
vincing  manner  to  his  fellow-florists  is 
indeed  an  asset.  Since  one  of  the  prin- 
cipal objects  in  holding  trade  conven- 
tions is  the  interchange  of  ideas,  it  is 
to  be  desired  that  many  more  men  of  the 
type  of  this  progressive  St.  Louis  retailer 
be  heard  from  at  the  annual  assem- 
blages. We  are  willing  to  risk  our  fair 
fame  as  a  prophet  by  hazarding  that  Mr. 
Gorly  will  have  one  or  two  novel  and 
meritorious  ideas  to  present  to  the  In- 
dianapolis meeting  of  the  F.  T.  D.  next 
year.  James  McLaughlin.

MB.    MABLATT'S    STOBY. 


F.  H.  B.  Beport  on  Quaxaatlne  37. 

To  the  trade  there  is  the  interest  of 
the  other  person's  version  of  a  tale  in 
the  account  of  Quarantine  No.  37  em- 
bodied in  the  report  of  the  Federal  Hor- 
ticultural Board  for  the  year  ending 
June  30.    Mr.  Marlatt  says: 

"The  need  of  additional  restrictions 
or  prohibitions  with  respect  to  the  entry 
of  various  classes  of  nursery  stock  and 
other  plant  and  seeds  was  referred  to  in 
'the  report  of  the  Federal  Horticultural 
Board  for  last  year,  and  also  the  hold- 
ing of  a  public  hearing  at  this  depart- 
ment May  28,  1918,  at  which  the  whole 
subject  was  fully  discussed  with  all  the 
interests  concerned. 

"Following  the  hearing  the  subject 
was  further  studied  by  the  experts  of  the 
Bureau  of  Plant  Industry  of  the  depart- 
ment, including  a  field  examination  of 
the  conditions  throughout  the  country, 
to  determine  the  essential  needs  as  to 
future  plant  importations.  The  results 
of  these  extended  investigations  were 
einbodied  in  a  tentative  plant  quaran- 
tine order  which  was  sent,  August  29, 
1918,  to  plant  trade  journals  and  re- 
lated societies  and  to  individuals  who 
had  manifested  an  interest  in  this  sub- 
ject, either  by  attending  the  hearing  or 
by  correspondence,  with  the  request 
that  the  proposed  quarantine  be  given 
careful  consideration,  with  a  view  to  a 
conference  later  to  discuss  and  deter- 
mine the  desirability  of  the  proposed 
restrictions.  This  conference  was  held 
October  18,  1918,  and  the  quarantine 
was  amended  in  minor  details  and  pro- 
mulgated by  the  department  November 
18,  1918,  to  take  effect  June  1,  1919. 

Criticisms  and  Answers. 

"This  quarantine  aroused  wide  criti- 
cism and  protest,  much  of  this  being 
based,  however,  on  misrepresentation 
and  particularly  on  the  charge,  which 
was  directly  contrary  to  the  facts,  that 
the  quarantine  would  prevent  the 
United  States  from  receiving  the  new 
plant  creations  of  Europe  and  other 
foreign  countries  and  that  America 
would  therefore  be  forever  deprived  of 
all  such  additions  to  its  horticulture 
and  floriculture.  These  protests  also 
found  large  support  on  the  part  of  im- 
porters whose  business  was  necessarily 
restricted  as  a  result  of  the  quarantine. 
On  £he  other  hand,  this  quarantine  re- 
ceived substantial  indorsement  from 
the  great  body  of  the  producing  nursery- 
men of  the  country. 

"In  answer  to  various  criticisms  and 
to  correct  certain  misrepresentations, 
the  board  has  issued  several  explana- 
tory memoranda  and  statements,  the 
most  important  being  a  memorandum 
dated  February  1,  1919,  giving  a  gen- 
eral discussion  of  the  quarantine  and 
of  the  conditions  which  led  to  its  pro- 
mulgation. A  f  'ther  explanatory 
statement  was  issued  by  the  Secretary 
of  Agriculture  as  a  result  of  a  confer- 
ence March  1  with  a  committee  repre- 
senting the  New  York  Florists'  Club, 
the  Society  of  American  Florists  and 


the  American  Association  of  Nursery- 
men. The  statement  of  the  secretary 
is  based  on  an  impartial  investigation 
which  he  had  made  of  the  whole  subject, 
the  report  of  which  fully  supported  the 
quarantine.  These  two  documents  have 
been  published  in  trade  journals  and 
used  liberally  in  correspondence  with 
respect  to  the  quarantine. 

"The  chairman  of  the  board,  on  in- 
vitation, has  attended  during  the  year 
important  annual  meetings  of  nursery- 
men and  florists  to  discuss  federal 
plant  quarantines  and  particularly 
Quarantine  No.  37.  These  meetings  in- 
cluded the  Pacific  Coast  Association  of 
Nurserymen,  at  Riverside,  Cal.,  in  May; 
the  American  Association  of  Nursery- 
men, at  Chicago  in  July,  and  the  Society 
of  American  Florists,  at  Detroit  in 
August.  The  discussion  at  these  meet- 
ings directly  and   through   the   reports

PESTS  THAT  COME   IN. 


Or,  Wliy  the  Lid  Went  Dowil 

A  record  has  been  kept  since  the  or- 
ganization of  the  Federal  Horticultural 
Board  of  all  the  interceptions  of  for- 
eign plant  pests  and  diseases  on  im- 
ported nursery  stock  and  other  plants 
and  plant  products.  "  As  a  result  of  the 
requirement  of  the  federal  plant  quar- 
antine act  as  to  foreign  inspection  and 
certification,"  one  reads  in  the  board's 
report  for  the  year  ending  June  30, 
"practically  all  of  the  foreign  coun- 
tries which  are  doing  a  commercial 
trade  of  any  importance  in  such  prod- 
ucts with  the  United  States  have  in- 
stalled adequate  inspection  service  and 
for  the  most  part  it  is  undoubted  that 
these  countries  are  probably  giving  as 
good  inspection  service  as  human  skill 


and  science  can  afford.  The  result  of 
this  service  has  been  a  tremendous  im- 
provement in  the  sanitary  condition  of 
the  plants  and  plant  products  imported 
into  the  United  States.  The  infesta- 
tion has  been  reduced  to  probably  as 
near  a  minimum  as  is  humanly  possible. 
Nevertheless,  the  records  referred  ^  to 
indicate  that  in  spite  of  this  inspection 
and  the  foreign  certifications  accom- 
panying importations,  large  numbers  of 
injurious  insects  and  plant  diseases  are 
still  coming  into  the  United  States  on 
imported  plants.  Inasmuch  as  one  of 
the  principal  arguments  of  objectors  to 
foreign  plant  quarantines  is  that  proper 
inspection  will  eliminate  these  evils,  it 
is  opportune  at  this  time  to  call  attention 
to  a  summary  of  the  conditions  actually 
shown  by  the  inspection  records  of  the 
last  seven  years  as  to  the  plant  imports 
from  the  principal  exporting  countries. 
With  respect  to  insects,  these  records 
indicate  that  there  have  been  received 
from  Holland  during  this  period  1,051 
infested  shipments,  involving  148  kinds 
of  insect  pests;  from  Belgium,  1,806  in- 
fested shipments,  involving  sixty-four 
kinds  of  insects;  from  France,  347  in- 
fested shipments,  involving  eighty-nine 
kinds  of  insects;  from  England,  154  in- 
fested shipments,  involving  sixty-two 
kinds  of  insects;  from  Japan,  291  in- 
fested shipments,  involving  108  kinds  of 
insects;  from  Germany,  twelve  infested 
shipments,  involving  fifteen  kinds  of  in- 
sect pests.  Many  of  these  intercepted 
insects  are  not  known  to  be  established 
anywhere  in  this  country  and  numbers 
of  them,  if  established,  would  undoubt- 
edly become  important  farm,  garden  or 
forest  pests. 

What  Inspection  Did. 

"During  the  fiscal  year  1919,  possibly 
as  a  result  of  the  let-down  due  to  war 
conditions,  there  was  an  exceptional  in- 
crease of  infestation  of  imported  nurs- 
ery stock  with  gipsy  and  brown-tail 
moth.  In  the  previous  years  under  this 
quarantine  shipments  thus  infested  had 
been  so  reduced  that  for  the  entire 
period  of  seven  years  only  sixty-three 
infested  shipments  had  been  discovered, 
whereas  prior  to  the  passage  of  the 
quarantine  act  such  instances  of  infes- 
tation ran  up  to  several  thousand  an- 
nually. Altogether  123  species  of  in- 
sects were  intercepted  on  various  plants 
and  plant  products  during  the  fiscal 
year  just  ended.  In  addition  to  gipsy- 
moth  egg  masses  and  brown-tail  moth 
nests,  the  more  important  interceptions 
were  pink  bollworm-infested  cotton  seed 
from  Brazil  and  China,  European 
Lackey  moth  from  Holland,  fruit  fly 
larvse  from  Cuba,  Oriental  moth  from 
Japan,  gold-tail  moth  from  France,  seed 
weevils  infesting  cherry  seed  from 
France  and  a  number  of  injurious  scale 
insects  on  miscellaneous  plants.  Soil 
insects  were  collected  on  several  oc- 
casions, including  the  European  mole 
cricket,  earwigs,  Otiorchynchid  larvae, 
wireworms  and  white  grubs  from  Hol- 
land. 

"With  respect  to  plant  diseases  in- 
tercepted during  the  fiscal  year  1919, 
270    distinct    disease    organisms    were

Many  Fine  Exhibits. 

The  exhibits  were  fine  and,  as  ar-

created  quite  a  handsome  appearance. 
Most  interesting  were  five  vases  of  roses

Aaron  Ward  and  Ophelia,  and  the  qual-

gards Mock,  finer  flowers  never  having 
been  seen  hereabouts.  The  awards 
committee  voted  the  exhibit  a  silver 
medal. 

W.  A.  Manda,  Inc.,  South  Orange, 
N.  J.,  exhibited  a  number  of  plants  of 
the  new  Juniperus  Mandaiana,  an  inter- 
esting half  hardy  evergreen,  appearing 
to  have  commercial  value  and  shown  in 
sizes  designed  for  Christmas  use.  The 
variety  was  awarded  a  first-class  cer- 
tificate. The  same  exhibitor  showed  a 
group  of  Dracsena  Rothiana,  which  was 
awarded  a  cultural  certificate;  a  display 
of  Sericographis  Ghiesbreghtiana,  an 
old  plant  resurrected,  well  flowered 
plants,  flowers  yellow  and  said  to  be 
borne  in  profusion  for  a  period  of  two 
months,  for  which  honorable  mention 
was  given;  a  display  of  Aspidistra  lu- 
rida,  which  won  a  cultural  certificate, 
and  a  display  of  wreaths,  of  spruce  and 
other  greens,  which  gained  a  vote  of 
thanks. 

Philip  F.  Kesaler  exhibited  a  splendid 
vase  of  Chrysanthemum  Christmas  Gold, 
a  vase  of  Antirrhinum  Ruth  Brewster 
and  a  seedling  antirrhinum,  white 
blushed  pink,  for  which  he  was  awarded 
a  vote  of  thanks. 

A.  Sauter,  Nyack,  N.  Y.,  was  given  a 
vote  of  thanks  for  a  vase  of  mignonette 
and  similar  awards  were  voted  to 
Stumpp  &  Walter  Co.,  New  York,  for 
a  vase  of  Calendula  Orange  King,  and 
to  A.-  N.  Pierson,  Inc.,  Cromwell,  Conn., 
for  a  vase  of  Chrysanthemum  Margaret 
Waite. 

W.  D.  Howard,  Milford,  Mass.,  ex- 
hibited a  handsome  vase  of  Carnation 
Bernice,  crimson,  which  was  scored 
eighty-four  points,  one  point  less  than 
the  number  required  for  a  certificate. 

C.  T.  Guenther,  Hamburg,  N.  Y., 
showed  Chrysanthemum  Hamburg  Late 
Pink  and  Henry  Schnockpeper,  Glen- 
dale,   L.   I.,   a  pink   sport   of   Chrysan- 


themum E.  A.  Seidewitz;    each  exhibit 
was  given  a  vote  of  thanks. 

Miscellaneous  Matter. 

Charles  H.  Totty,  for  the  flower  show 
committee,  reported  progress.  A  joint 
meeting  of  the  committee  with  a  com- 
mittee from  the  American  Rose  Society 
had  been  held  that  afternoon,  he  said, 
at  which  arrangements  had  been  com- 
pleted for  the  A.  R.  S.  to  hold  its  an- 
nual exhibition  in  connection  with  the 
international  flower  show  next  spring. 
Arthur  Herrington  invoked  the  assist- 
ance of  the  club 's  members  in  boosting 
the  show  and  Secretary  Young  pre- 
sented copies  of  the  final  schedule  of 
premiums.  Wallace  R.  Pierson  made  a 
special  plea  to  rose  growers  to  prepare 
to  make  the  best  exhibits  possible  at 
the  show. 

Resolutions  were  passed  conveying 
the  sympathy  of  the  club  to  the  fam- 
ilies of  Thomas  Bunyard,  father  of 
Harry  A.  and  Alfred  T.  Bunyard;  Oscar 
Hauschild,  brother  of  Otto  Hauschild, 
and  Emil  Zeller,  brother  of  Alfred 
Zeller. 

Wm.  H.  Siebrecht,  Jr.,  reported  that 
the  club's  charter  was  in  course  of  amend- 
ment as  required  by  the  club. 

The  following  were  elected  to  member- 
ship: T.  B.  Bourne,  S.  H.  Skidell,  Henry 
C.  Holpp,  Fred  von  Lum,  Alphonse  Rigo, 
Michael  Durso,  Joseph  Heiman  and  Rich- 
ard T.  Broderick.  Messrs.  Bourne  and 
Herman,  being  present,  were  formally  in- 
troduced to  the  gathering,  as  also  was  J. 
H.  Bockman,  elected  at  the  last  meeting. 

Sam  Seligman,  239  Fourth  avenue.  New 
York;  Edward  I.  Brenner,  103  West 
Twenty -eighth  street.  New  York;  David 
Bielefeld,  11  East  One  Hundred  First 
street,  New  York;  A.  I.  UnderhUl,  Baby- 
lon, N.  Y.,  and  Robert  Johnston,  Ardsley, 
N.  Y.,  were  nominated  for  election  at  the 
next  meeting.  Matthew  Sampson  was 
reported  as  having  taken  out  a  life 
membership. 

An  appropriation  of  $100  to  the  fund 
for  the  Brooklyn  "Say  It  with  Flowers" 
week  was  confirmed. 

A  resolution  was  passed  directing  the 
secretary  to  make  application  for  the 
club's  representation  on  the  executive 
board  of  the  S.  A.  F. 

The  secretary  reported  that  he  had  re- 
ceived a  letter  from  Patrick  O'Mara  to 
the  effect  that  he  was  slowly  recovering 
his  health,  and  thanking  the  club  for  its 
gift  of  fruit  and  flowers. 

The  Election. 

Election  of  officers  for  the  ensuing  year 
occupied  considerable  time.  Roman  J. 
Irwin,  the  only  nominee  for  vice-presi- 
dent, retired  in  favor  of  C.  W.  Knight,  of 
Oakdale,  L.  I.,  who,  he  said,  deserved 
this  recognition  by  the  club  as  a  reward 
for  his  services,  and  whose  name  hsrd 
escaped  the  nominating  committee,  Much 
applause  followed  this  graceful  act.  F.  H. 
Traendly  was  judge  of  election  and  An- 
drew Scott  and  J.  B.  Nugent  were  tellers. 

The  new  president  and  vice-president 


and  tlje  secretary  made  short  addresses 
appreciative  of  their  election.  A  tele- 
gram from  Treasurer  Rickards  was  read, 
expressing  regret  at  his  enforced  absence 
in   Chicago. 

It  was  arranged  to  hold  a  ladies'  night 
in  connection  with  the  next  meeting,  Jan- 
uary 12. 

Visitors  included  Thos.  Roland,  Nahant, 
Mass.,  and  W.  D.  Howard,  Milford,  Mass.

The  Market. 

Last  week  showed  a  slight  falling  off 
in  business;  this  decrease  had  its  good 
side,  since  it  made  the  demand  equal  to 
the  supply.  The  shortage  of  violets 
necessitated  the  shipment  of  stock  from 
the  coast.  They  arrived  in  good  con- 
dition and  when  left  in  the  original 
papers,  well  moistened  and  put  right 
on  the  ice,  they  keep  in  salable  condi- 
tion for  days.  Mums  are  about  through, 
but  some  good  pompons  may  still  be  had, 
such  as  Godfrey  in  pink  and  Mrs.  Beu 
and  Wilcox  in  the  bronze  type,  also 
Christmas  Gold,  an  unusually  late  va- 
riety of  the  yellow  button  type.  Paper 
Whites  are  more  plentiful  now  and  not 
especially  profitable  to  the  growers, 
when  those  that  come  blind  are  taken 
into  consideration.  Premier,  Columbia 
and  Mme.  Butterfly  roses  are  in  better 
color  and  sell  out  clean. 

The  coal  shortage  has  caused  some  un- 
easiness, but  up  to  December  6  no  re- 
strictions had  been  ordered  in  this  dis- 
trict and  as  a  result  business  did  not 
feel  the  shrinkage  that  would  have 
taken  place  if  the  public  had  become 
ultraconservative.  Short  business  hours 
for  the  retailer  with  Christmas  in  sight 
and  a  scarcity  of  good  help  to  handle 
the  rush  to  be  waited  upon  in  the  lim- 
ited space  of  time  would  make  for  a  con- 
dition long  to  be  remembered. 

Various  Notes. 

Gustav  Adrian,  Price  Hill,  has  a  fine 
stock  of  the  white  mum,  Mistletoe,  that 
will  be  in  good  condition  for  Christmas 
business.  Mr.  Adrian  has  also  a  large 
bench  of  Christmas  Gold,  from  which 
he  is  cutting  daily. 

Herbert  Greensmith  &  Son,  landscape 
gardeners.  West  Price  Hill,  report  good 
business  in  hardy  plants  and  shrubs, 
but  they  have  been  seriously  handi- 
capped by  the  heavy  rains. 

Mrs.  E.  H.  Fries,  Fort  Thomas,  Ky., 
has  a  fine  stock  of  carnations,  from 
which  a  good  crop  is  being  cut  at 
present. 

Edward  Forter  had  the  house  and 
church  decorations  for  the  Shillito  wed- 
ding. 

Louis  H.  Kyrk,  wholesaler,  who  has 
been  seriously  ill  for  the  last  two  Weeks, 
is  improving  rapidly  now  and  will  soon 
been  in  normal  health  again.  Mr.  Kyrk 
is  handling  a  fl^e  grade  of  stevia  and 
boxwood,  which  meets  with  ready  sale.

W.  C.  Schaefer  has  been  sending  some 
excellent  stevia  and  Paper  White  nar- 
cissi to  C.  E.  Critchell.  The  cut  is  from

HOME-aEOWN   MANETTI    STOCKS, 

We  have  a  quantity  of  Irish  Manetti 
growing  on  our  place.  The  plants  are 
four  feet  or  more  in  height.  Would 
there  be  any  demand  for  plants  grown 
from  these  and  what  is  the  method  of 
getting  stock  plants  in  shape  suitable 
for  grafting  purposes?      B.  F.  C. — Ga. 


The  tops  of  the  Manetti  in  question, 
made  into  cuttings  eight  or  ten  inches 
long  and  placed  in  the  ground  in  late 
winter  or  early  spring,  should  make 
suitable  stocks  for  grafting  the  follow- 
ing November.  It  is  best  to  remove  the 
eyes  from  the  cuttings,  except  the  upper 
two  or  three;  this  is  the  method  prac- 
ticed by  the  growers  in  Europe.  A  not 
too  rich  soil,  preferably  a  sandy  loam, 
is  best  suited  for  the  purpose;  a  too 
rich  soil  causes  too  much  growth. 

There  will  be  no  question  about  the 
demand  for  Manetti  at  fair  prices  for 
the  next  few  years.  Drought  and  war- 
time disarrangement  of  help  have 
caused  the  price  of  Manetti  to  mount 
unprecedentedly  this  year,  but  Manetti 
will  always  bring  a  good  price.

HAEDY  CLIMBINa  BOSEa 

What  climbing  roses  are  hardy  in  the 
vicinity  of  Chicago  and  New  York, 
especially  among  the  rambler  type,  as 
Tausendschoen?  Are  the  Banksise  ab- 
solutely hardyf 

This  may  seem  a  simple  question  to 
you,  but  as  our  experiences  have  been 
mostly  in  California,  where  all  roses 
are  hardy,  we  wish  to  be  certain  in 
regard  to  the  matter.  I.  J. — Cal. 


There  is  a  considerable  difference  be- 
tween the  climatic  conditions  of  New 
York  and  Chicago.  In  the  vicinity  of 
New  York  and  along  the  Atlantic  sea- 
board a  great  many  roses  can  be  grown 
that  will  not  do  well  around  Chicago. 
This  we  believe  to  be  due  to  dry  sum- 
mers, drier  atmosphere  and  lack  of 
moisture  in  Chicago  as  compared  with 
the  eastern  states.  The  middle  west 
also  sometimes  has  severe  winters,  ac- 
companied by  piercing  winds  and  little 
snow,  which  is  not  good  for  outdoor 
roses.  But  most  of  the  rambler  roses 
are  hardy  and  do  well  around  Chicago 
when  given  special  attention  in  the  form 
of  pinching  back  the  strongest  growths 
duri»g  the  early  summer  and  mulching 
the  beds  well  so  as  to  protect  the  roots 
from  the  extreme  heat.  This  pinching 
back   of   the  shoots   throws   the  plants 


back  into  bush  shape  rather  than  con- 
duces to  climbing  form,  but  when  well 
cared  for  they  make  a  splendid  showing. 
The  dwarf  ramblers  and  polyantha  va- 
rieties are  satisfactory  around  both  Chi- 
cago and  New  York  if  protected  with 
covering  during  the  winter  and  given 
early  attention  in  the  spring,  being  un- 
covered before  they  have  made  any  new 
growth  and  the  dead  wood  cut  out.  But 
it  would  be  folly  to  expect  to  see  climb- 
ing roses  around  either  Chicago  or  New 
York  to  compare  with  those  of  Cali- 
fornia or  the  other  Pacific  coast  states. 
Once  in  a  while  we  have  seasons  when 
the  roses  around  Chicago  and  New  York 
compare  favorably  with  those  of  more 
fortunate  localities,  but  we  cannot  count 
on  this  for  every  season. 

The  variety  Tausendschoen  will  stand 
our  winters  with  slight  protection;  much 
of  the  wood  will  freeze  back,  but  when 
cared  for  will  make  fine  bushes.     The 


Banksise  roses  will  not  stand  the  winters 
north  of  Philadelphia. 

All  the  types  of  Wichuraiana,  the  Dor- 
othy Perkins  type,  including  American 
Pillar,  Dr.  Van  Fleet  and  Silver  Moon, 
are  perfectly  hardy  in  the  vicinity  of 
New  York  city. 

ROSES  FOB  SPBINO  HOLIDAYS. 

When  should  tree  roses  with  hybrid 
tea  heads  be  started  in  a  carnation  tem- 
perature to  have  them  in  bloom  for  Eas- 
ter and  for  Memorial  day? 

E.  A.  E.— 111. 

For  Easter  start  your  roses  ten  weeks 
in  advance  of  that  date.  In  a  tem- 
perature of  60  degrees  a  shorter  perioC 
is  needed.  For  Memorial  day  keep  the 
plants  as  near  dormant  as  possible  in  a 
cold  pit  or  cellar  and  move  under  glass 
early  in  April.  As  soon  as  the  Easter 
stock  is  out  of  the  way,  give  them  the 
space  that  stock  has  occupied.       C.  W.

do  you  calculate  for  the  Easter  pinch  t 
When  is  the  best  time  to  give  them

they  make  their  break  or  when  they

Pinch  Killarney  and  Ophelia  about 
October  22  for  a  Christmas  crop  and 
about  seven  weeks  before  to  have  a

THBIPS  CHIEF  TEOUBLE. 

We  would  much  appreciate  it  if  you 
could  give  us  any  idoa  of  what  is  the 
trouble  with  our  mums  this  season  and 
how  it  might  have  been  avoided.  We 
are  sending  a  few  roots  showing  a  pe- 
culiar growth  which  affected  many  of 
the  plants.  There  was  also  a  mite 
which  infested  the  leaves  of  many  of 
them,  as  you  will  see. 

The  soil  was  a  light,  sandy  bottom- 
land soil,  taken  from  the  edge  of  a 
friend's  grain  field  and  but  a  few  feet 
from  the  river's  edge.  This  was  com- 
posted with  one-half  as  many  loads  of 
mixed    fresh    and    half-rotted    manure 


(both  cow  and  horse)  about  August  15, 
1918.  October  15  this  was  all  cut  down 
and  piled  over,  and  it  was  shoveled  over 
again  December  24.  The  first  week  in 
June  we  put  about  an  inch  of  thorough- 
ly rotted  manure  into  the  benches;  this 
we  finely  pulverized  and  on  it  we  put 
the  soil,  about  five  or  six  inches  deep. 
Early  in  the  spring  we  engaged  our 
mum  plants  to  be  shipped  out  of  2V^- 
inch  pots  June  15.  June  30  we  received 
a  check  from  the  grower,  saying  that  he 
couldn't  furnish  them. 

We  then  got  busy  and  picked  up, 
wherever  we  could  find  them,  sufficient 
to  fill  our  benches.  Some  were  ap- 
parently splendid  plants,  others  were 
weak  and  spindling  and  still  others 
were  hard  and  woody.  Many  were  cov- 
ered with  livestock  of  various  kinds 
and  descriptions.  Practically  all  were 
dipped  in  a  strong  nicotine  solution  as 
they  were  set.  This  cleared  them  of 
everything  but  this  mite.  He  grows 
fat  on  nicotine  and  really  seems  to  en- 
joy hydrocyanic  acid  gas. 

While  some  of  the  plants  did  fairly 
well,  there  are  some  that  are  no  larger 
today  than  when  set.  All  were  given  a 
thorough  soaking  as  soon  as  set  and 
then  left  to  get  fairly  dry  and  again 
soaked.  This  course  was  followed  the 
entire  season,  with  the  top  of  the  soil

stirred  usually  about  once  a  week. 
Nevertheless,  they  never  seemed  to  get 
hold  of  the  soil  and  when  lifted  the 
roots  wouldn't  have  filled  the  2i4-inch 
pots  they  were  taken  from  originally. 
Fearing  an  acidity  in  the  soil,  we  made 
a  litmus  test,  but  found  scarcely  a  trace. 
Notwithstanding  the  test,  we  gave  one 
bench  a  good  application  of  air-slaked 
lime,  with  no  results.  One  bench 
seemed  to  start;  so  we  pinched  the  tops 
out  about  two  weeks  after  setting  and 
these  pretty  nearly  refused  to  break  at 
all.  These  were  given  a  liquid  applica- 
tion of  nitrate  of  soda,  but  we  could 
never  see  that  it  did  any  good. 

Our  blooms,  even  on  these  mite-in- 
fested plants,  have  been  of  good  sub- 
stance, form  and  color,  but  oh,  so  small; 
a  4-inch  or  5-inch  bloom  being  a 
whopper,  while  many  we  bunched  and 
sold  like  pompons.  Our  assortment, 
picked  up  here  and  there  as  it  was,  pre- 
sented a  motley  array  in  varieties  and 
it  is  a  toss-up  which  did  the  best,  or 
the  worst.  And  the  fact  that  my  pom- 
pons, of  a  dozen  varieties,  both  pot 
and  bench,  did  the  same  way  and  are 
similarly  affected  and  infected  makes 
it  all  the  more  puzzling,  particularly  as 
vegetable  plants  set  in  this  same  soil 
last  spring  did  splendidly  and  my 
cinerarias  now  growing  in  it  are  fine. 
Any  information,  suggestions  or  advice 
you  can  give  will  be  gratefully  re- 
ceived. R.  G. — HI. 


The  chrysanthemum  plants  were  bad- 
ly infested  with  thrips,  which  I  think 
was  the  principal  cause  of  the  trouble. 
The  leaves  also  showed  traces  of  red 
spider.  I  am  of  the  opinion  that  the 
plants  when  received  were  too  hard 
and  woody  for  you  to  be  able  to 
make  much  out  of  them  and  accord- 
ing to  the  method  of  culture  followed 
the  plants  did  no*  receive  enough  mois- 
ture. During  their  growing  season  in 
particular,  chrysanthemums  growing 
under  glass  require  a  liberal  amount  of 
moisture  both  at  the  roots  and  overhead 
and  if  not  given  it  they  are  bound  to 
become  stunted  and  infested  with  thrips 
and  red  spider.  M.  P.

The  Market. 

Business  during  the  last  week  has 
been  somewhat  irregular,  with  a  good 
supply  of  seasonable  stock  at  the  whole- 
sale markets.  Calls  from  outside  points 
have  been  strong  and  good  shipping  or- 
ders have  been  reported.  All  stock  con- 
signed to  this  market  during  the  week 
was  of  excellent  quality.  Prices  were 
high.  There  are  still  plenty  of  mums 
coming  in  daily  and  they  have  the  call 
over  any  of  the  other  seasonable  cut 
flowers.  All  the  late  varieties  are  in 
and  the  fancy  stock  cleans  up  every  day, 
especially  the  Bonnaffons  and  Eatons. 
All  pompons  sell  well  and  the  market 
has  ample  supply  in  these. 

Boscs  are  coming  along  nicely  and  the 
crop  shortage  was  noticed  all  the  week. 
Premier,  Bussell  and  Ophelia  are  of 
excellent  quality;  extra  fancies  bring 
as  high  as  $30  per  hundred.  White 
roses  have  had  an  exceptionally  big  call, 
owing  to  the  many  weddings  of  late. 
Carnations,  too,  are  much  short  of  the 
demand  and  have  been  for  the  last  two 
weeks.  A  good  crop  is  expected  for 
Christmas.  The  dark  days  last  week  did 
not  help  the  crop.     Orchids  have  been 


in  fair  supply,  but  high  in  price.  The 
same  may  be  said  of  lilies  of  the  valley. 
No  lilies  to  be  had  in  this  market.  Few 
callas  are  coming  in  at  present. 

Excellent  stevia  and  fine  calendulas 
are  in  good  supply.  A  fine  cut  of 
bouvardia  was  in  last  week  and  sold 
well.  Sweet  peas  are  not  as  many  as  the 
trade  would  like  and  the  few  coming  in 
sell  at  sight.  Paper  White  and  yellow 
narcissi  are  in  plenty.  White  snap- 
dragons are  equal  to  the  demand.  The 
sales  of  greens  have  been  large,  as  the 
demand  for  almost  anything  green  has 
been  strong.  Wild  smilax  and  boxwood 
had  large  demands  all  the  week  and  will 
have  all  this  month. 

Various  Notes 

The  St.  Louis  County  Growers'  Asso- 
ciation, at  its  regular  monthly  meeting 
December  3,  discussed  some  interesting 
questions.  Among  them  was  that  of  the 
coal  situation,  which  brought  out  the 
fact  that  the  majority  of  the  members 
present  had  laid  in  a  good  supply  dur- 
ing the  summer  months.  Discussion  of 
Thanksgiving  business  and  the  Christ- 
mas crop  brought  out  some  interesting 
points.  The  meeting  was  not  so  well 
attended  as  was  expected,  but  the  few 
present  spent  a  most  enjoyable  evening. 
At  the  first  meeting  in  the  new  year, 
January  7,  the  attendance  should  be 
large. 

The  St.  Louis  Association  of  Gar- 
deners had  a  large  attendance  at  the 
meeting  held  December  3  at  the 
municipal  greenhouses.  President  Jen- 
sen presided  over  the  meeting.  The 
discussion  on  park  management,  led  by 
Ernest  Strehle,  superintendent  of  parks, 
was  interesting  throughout.  This,  with 
a  discussion  of  park  floral  displays  led 
by  John  Moritz,  head  of  the  municipal 
greenhouses,  held  the  members  until 
late,  as  both  were  interesting  and  edu- 
cational. Secretary  Schaff  says  meet- 
ings of  this  kind  bring  out  the  mem- 
bers. At  the  January  meeting  will  be 
other  discussions  which  should  bring  a 
good  attendance  for  the  first  meeting 
in  the  new  year. 

The  trade  extended  their  sympathy  to 
Henry  G.  Berning  last  week  in  the  loss 
of  his  father,  John  Berning,  whose  death 
is  reported  in  the  obituary  column  this 
week. 

Frank  X.  Gorly,  of  Grimm  &  Gorly, 
is  spending  a  few  days  in  Chicago  this 
week  looking  up  stock  for  the  coming 
holidays.  Business  is  reported  excel- 
lent at  this  store. 

Henry  Ostertag,  head  of  Ostertag 
Bros.,  says  he  will  take  a  trip  to  Cali- 
fornia after  the  holidays  for  the  benefit 
of  his  health.  His  son,  Charles,  will  be 
in  charge  in  his  absence.  They  have 
booked  a  number  of  good-sized  deco- 
rations for  this  month. 

Al  Gumz  and  W.  A.  Rowe  returned 
from  their  hunting  trip  early  the  last 
week  and  brought  back  125  rabbits,  so 
many  in  the  trade  had  rabbit  dinners 
during  the  week. 

Vandervoort's  floral  department  has 
a  wonderful  display  of  Christmas  goods. 
Mr.  Schaeffer  says  they  expect  one  of 
the  best  Christmas  businesses  in  years  if 
advance  orders  count  for  anything. 

The  state  fair  premium  committee 
held  a  meeting  at  the  board  of  educa- 
tion December  4,  which  was  presided 
over  by  H.  C.  Irish,  chairman.  All  were 
in  attendance  and  a  large  and  attracti\ffe 
premium  list  was  prepared  for  floricul- 
ture at  next  year's  state  fair. 

As  Chairman    Georgre   Asmus,    of  the 


national  flower  show  committee,  will  bo 
in  the  city  this  week,  Chairman  Jules 
Bourdet  says  the  local  national  flower 
show  committee  will  meet  with  him  and 
transact  such  business  as  is  laid  out 
for  them. 

The  local  rose  growers  expect  to  be 
in  crop  for  Christmas.  A.  S.  Cerny  is 
cutting  some  fine  Premier,  W.  J.  Pilcher 
excellent  Bussell,  and  John  Steidle  good 
Ophelia.  Otto  Bruenig  has  a  fine  cut 
of  both  Premier  and  Ophelia  and 
Werner  Bros,  good  Ward,  Killarney  and 
Columbia. 

Phil  Goebel,  Jr.,  of  Webster  Groves, 
as  usual,  is  in  with  a  fine  cut  of  Major 
Bonnaffon  this  season  and  a  large  cut 
of  other  varieties.  He  says  the  coal 
situation  has  no  terrors  for  him,  as  he 
is  supplied  for  the  season. 

The  publicity  committee  has  been 
doing  good  work  since  the  season 
opened.  The  large  and  small  daily  ad- 
vertisements in  all  daily  papers  have 
been  attractive  and  the  retailers  have 
commended  them  highly,  as  their  cus- 
tomers have  been  "Saying  It  with 
Flowers"  for  all  occasions.  This  com- 
mittee met  December  9  and  those  in 
charge  submitted  several  prepared 
copies  for  the  approval  of  the  mewibers 
of  the  committee. 

The  floral  displays  at  the  Missouri 
Botanical  Garden  and  the  municipal 
greenhouses  this  week  consist  of  Christ- 
mas blooms  and  the  attendance  at  both 
places  has  been  large.  These  displays 
educate  the  public  what  to  buy  for 
Christmas. 

The  bowlers  who  compose  the  "Say 
It  with  Flowers"  League  had  a  great 
time  December  3,  when  the  Carnations 
won  three  games  from  the  Daisies  after 
giving  them  a  35-pin  handicap  and  the 
Eoses  won  three  games  from  the  Sweet 
Peas.  The  Eoses  got  a  1-pin  handicap. 
It's  a  great  race  for  first  place.  The 
Eoses  and  Carnations  each  have  won 
sixteen  games.  The  Sweet  Peas  are 
four  games  out  of  first  plape  and  the 
Daisies  within  five  games  of  the 
leaders.  J.  J.  B. 


NEW  YORK. 


Tlie  Market. 

With  supply  and  demand  about  equal 
as  far  as  clearances  are  concerned,  the 
market  is  strong.  While  a  few  items 
in  supply  are  on  the  scarce  side,  the 
movement  of  others  in  abundance  is 
accelerated  in  consequence.  Prices 
show  a  tendency  to  advance  as  supply 
shortens  and  buyers  are  speculating  as 
to  prospects  when  the  chrysanthemum 
supply  is  ended.  The  outlook  for  the 
Christmas  supply  of  cut  flowers  favors 
the  growers,  there  being  every  indica- 
tion of  a  shortage  in  the  holiday  cut. 
In  some  lines  pre-war  holiday  prices  are 
already  in  evidence. 

The  supply  of  chrysanthemums  is 
diminishing.  Standard  varieties  are 
showing  good  quality,  and  top  grades 
bring  75  cents  per  bloom,  with  exhibi- 
tion sorts  at  $1.  Singles  and  pompons 
are  in  good  demand  at  from  50  cents  to 
$1  per  bunch.  There  is  a  good  deal  of 
stock  of  the  bench-clearance  quality 
available,  and  no  difficulty  is  experi- 
enced in  its  movement. 

American  Beauty  roses  are  not  plenti- 
ful, but  there  is  suflicient  stock  to  go 
around.  Prices  continue  about  the  same 
as  last  reported,  $75  to  $125  per  hundred 
for  the  best  specials,  the  latter  figure

a] 'J living'  1(1  s<  1o<-1(mI  stock.  Tlic  supiily 
oi  liybrid  teas  is  not  at  all  heavy,  and 
after  early  iiiorniii<T  sales  are  made  little 
stock  is  left,  and  this  easily  clears  out  at 
the  prices  for  the  day.  The  short  grades 
are  not  plentiful,  and  the  demand  for 
them  keeps  prices  up  to  a  jioint  above 
normal.     The  quality  is  generally  good. 

There  is  a  larger  supply  of  carnations, 
and  the  demand  for  them  has  increased 
with  an  improvement  in  the  quality  of 
the  offerings.  The  range  of  prices  is  $6 
to  $10,  the  latter  figure  being  for  Mrs. 
C.  W.  Ward  and  Benora. 

Cattleyas  continue  scarce  and  high  in 
price,  and  there  is  little  prospect  of  a 
change  in  these  conditions.  Cypri- 
pediums  are  plentiful  and  move  rather 
slowly  at  times,  at  $4  to  $6  per  dozen 
according  to  the  variety.  Spray  orchids 
are  quite  scarce  and  arrivals  are  taken 
freely  at  prices  hardly  quotable.  A  little 
lilac  has  come  in,  but  it  is  not  yet  an  im- 
portant item.  There  is  still  a  scarcity 
of  gardenias,  and  the  best  of  the  arrivals 
bring  $9  per  dozen,  with  a  few  selected 
flowers  as  high  as  $1  per  bloom.  The 
supply  of  Easter  lilies  does  not  seem  to 
increase;  apparently  this  staple  can  no 
longer  be  reckoned  on  as  in  daily  sup- 
ply. The  situation  as  regards  lily  of  the 
valley,  too,  is  unchanged,  the  extremely 
small  supply  commanding  almost  prohib- 
itive prices.  A  few  rubrums  continue 
to  arrive  and  bring  $G  to  $10  per  hun- 
dred. 

Sweet  peas  are  in  fair  supply  and  the 
quality  is  better  than  it  has  been  for 
some  time;  they  move  well  at  from 
$2  to  $')  per  hundred  sprays.  Violets 
are  in  good  supply  and  are  taken  freely 
when  of  good  quality,  at  prices  ranging 
from  75  cents  to  $1.50  per  hundred. 
Paper  Whites  at  50  cents  per  bunch  and 
the  yellow  Soleil  d'Or  at  50  to  75  cents 
per  bunch  move  fairly  well,  as  do  also 
snapdragons  at  50  cents  to  $1.50  per 
bunch.  Calendulas,  yellow  daisies,  pink 
bouvardia,  wallflowers,  mignonette  and 
stevia  are  also  available  and  clean  \i\> 
well. 

Various  Notes. 

The  re<M'nt  death,  in  Havana,  Cuba,  of 
George  M.  Bradt  brings  to  mind  the 
famous  variegated  carnation  which  was 
named  for  his  wife  about  twenty  years 
ago. 

The  Von  Tilzer  song,  "Say  It  with 
Flowers,"  was  rendered  before  the  Ki- 
wanis  <'lul)  at  the  Hotel  McAlpin 
Wednesday,  December  10.  The  imblishcr 
of  a  similar  song,  which  was  a  feature 
of  the  entertainment  at  the  president's 
reception  during  the  Detroit  convention, 
Meyer  Cohen,  died  last  week  in  Detroit. 

Malmaison  carnations  are  being  fea- 
tured in  the  window  displays  in  Fleisch- 
man's  store  at  Fifth  avenue  and  Forty- 
second  street. 

The  final  schedule  of  prizes  for  the 
international  flower  show,  to  be  held  in 
the  Grand  Central  Palace  next  March, 
is  being  distributed  from  the  secretary's 
office,  1170  Broadway.  The  schedule 
contains  the  cut  flower  premiums,  an- 
nouncement of  which  has  usually  been 
made  later. 

A  collection  of  gas  in  the  conduit  sys- 
tem along  Broadway  exploded  Friday 
night,  December  5,  putting  the  electric

Twenty-eighth  street  out  of  commission

Schneider  &  Noe,  the  carnation  grow-

time  been  using  a  method  of  fastening 
their  shi{)piug  boxes  which  has  proved 
satisfactory  and  does  away  with  the  use 
of  roping.  They  use  a  broad  strap  with 
encircling  straps  sewni  on  at  the  ends 
and  the  middle,  with  buckle  fastenings. 
This  "harness"  looks  much  like  two

have  been  devoted  to  western  and  cen- 
tral China  and  three  more  to  Japan  and 
its  outlying  imperial  possessions  and  to 
Korea.  A  part  of  the  results  of  this

ROCHESTER,  N.  Y. 


The  Market. 

As  is  quite  customary  after  a  period 
of  big  business  such  as  was  seen  in  this 
city  for  Thanksgiving,  trade  has  fallen 
off  considerably.  Practically  every- 
thing that  was  in  sight  was  picked  for 
that  event  and  consequently  the  market 
was  not  at  all  crowded  with  flowers  last 
week;  perhaps  fortunately,  the  demand 
has  been  slower.  Chrysanthemums, 
which  have  been  quite  plentiful  this 
fall,  are  slowly  diminishing  in  sup- 
ply and  only  a  few  reach  the  market 
each  day.  They  are  the  Bonnaffons  and 
some  white  and  pink  varieties;  these, 
being  the  last  of  the  season,  are  not 
specially  good.  Several  varieties  of  pom- 
pons are  seen  and  sell  readily.  The  daily 
shipments  of  roses  arrive  in  fine  condi- 
tion and  are  of  excellent  quality.  Colum- 
bia is  in  good  supply  and  long-stemmed 
stock  brings  good  prices.  The  medium 
grade  is  in  the  best  demand.  Ophelia, 
Ward,  Sunburst,  Kussell,  Maryland  and 
the  Killarncys  are  also  in  good  demand 
and  are  bringing  winter  prices.  Excel- 
lent Hoosier  Beauties  are  seen,  but  are 
not  in  large  supply;  however,  the  out- 
look for  Christmas  is  quite  encouraging. 
The  supply  of  carnations  is  good,  but 
not  overlarge.  They  arrive  chiefly  in 
pink  and  white.  Prices  continue  good. 
Paper  Whites  and  yellow  narcissi  are 
on  the  market,  but  not  in  heavy  supply. 
Violets,  both  the  Californian  and  those 
from  the  eastern  growers,  are  not  sell- 
ing so  readily  as  they  might,  although 
their  quality  is  good.  Cypripediums 
arrive  in  large  supply  and  are  of  high 
quality.  These  sell  fairly  well.  Sweet 
peas  are  not  seen  frequently  in  this 
market  and  lilies  are  also  scarce.  There 
is  a  good  supply  of  stevia  arriving,  and 
the  market  for  it  is  good.  Smilax,  As- 
paragus plumosus,  boxwood  and  other 
greens  are  plentiful.  There  is  a  slim 
showing  of  good  potted  plants,  but  the 
growers  promise  good  stock  for  the 
holidays.  Some  of  the  Christmas  greens, 
such  as  ground  pine,  laurel  roping  and 
boxwood,  are  arriving  daily  and  are  sell- 
ing well. 

Florists'  Association. 

The  Eochester  Florists'  Association  is 
facing  calamity  unless  some  strong  ef- 
fort is  put  forward  to  save  the  life  of 
this  once  active  society.  In  order  that 
a  good  representation  of  its  members 
should  be  present  at  a  meeting  to  decide 
on  its  continuance  or  otherwise,  the  com- 
mittee arranged  among  themselves  a 
dinner  and  put  on  a  boxing  match  at  the 
Osborn  House  Wednesday  evening,  De- 


cember 3.  Over  100  members  attended 
and  an  especially  pleasant  evening  was 
spent.  Vocal,  elocution  and  trick  artists 
were  also  in  attendance.  The  question 
of  changing  the  place  of  meeting  was 
taken  up  and  is  being  favorably  con- 
sidered, since  a  good  room,  well  car- 
peted, heated  and  lighted,  is  offered  by 
the  manager  of  the  Osborn  House  at  a 
reasonable  rent.  The  next  meeting  will 
be  held  Friday,  January  9,  1920. 

Various  Notes. 

Among  the  visitors  who  called  on 
the  local  tradesmen  last  week  were 
Charles  Felton,  of  the  Felton  Flower 
Shop,  Buffalo,  N.  Y.;  Manuel  Oppen- 
heim,  of  Olean,  N.  Y.,  and  Harry  H. 
Brandt,  of  Wertheimer  Bros.,  New  York. 

Horace  J.  Head,  representing  George 
B.  Hart,  has  just  returned  to  the  city, 
having  had  a  successful  business  trip 
in  the  provinces  of  Quebec  and  Ontario, 
Canada. 

The  Utica-Rochester  Floral  Co.  has 
recently  moved  to  109  North  street.  The 
store  is  lighter  and  considerably  larger, 
and  is  better  adapted  to  the  firm's 
needs.  Business  is  goo^,  having  been 
exceptional  for  Thanksgiving. 

All  the  downtown  stores  are  making 
preparation  for  the  big  rush  which  will 
soon  be  upon  us.  Baskets  of  artificial 
flowers  and  Christmas  greens  are  seen 
on  every  hand,  while  strawflowers 
worked  up  into  artistic  creations  are 
seen  in  all  flower  stores.  Sales  for  these 
are  good.  H.  J.  H. 


LOWELL,  MASS. 


Tlie  Market. 

The  weather  has  for  several  weeks 
been  dark  and  cloudy,  which  has  cur- 
tailed production  and  depressed  qual- 
ity. For  the  last  few  days,  however,  it 
has  been  bright  and  sunny,  with  a  night 
temperature  about  20  degrees  above 
zero.  Flowers  are  not  numerous  here 
cither  in  quantity  or  in  the  number  of 
varieties. 

At  Tewksbury. 

The  M.  A,  Patten  Co.,  Tewksbury, 
Mass.,  has  already  got  a  large  amount 
of  carnations  rooted  and  in  soil.  This 
firm  expects  to  propagate  considerably 
more  than  it  did  last  year;  one  order 
alone  calls  for  100,000  to  be  delivered 
at  various  periods.  Mr.  Patten  con- 
siders the  two  varieties.  Aviator  and 
Belle  Washburn,  especially  profitable,  as 
they  are  abundant  croppers  and  have 
good-sized  blooms.  A  good  white  is  the 
variety  Benora;  in  many  respects  it  is 
superior  to  Matchless,  since  the  former 
remains  pure  white  all  through  the  sea- 
son, while  the  latter  kind  comes  with 
pink  streaks  and  often  a  good  many 
singles.  Harold  Patten,  for  the  last 
five  years,  except  when  he  was  with  the 
army,  has  taken  care  of  the  propagat- 
ing end  of  the  business  at  this  estab- 
lishment. 

This  firm  has  a  fine  bench  of  God- 
frey callas,  of  which  there  are  over 
4,000  plants  in  pots  and  which  have 
bloomed  remarkably  well  this  fall  and 
are  still  blooming.  The  Californian 
maidenhair  fern  is  in  good  shape  and  is 
a  profitable  variety  to  grow.  Many 
cypripediums  were  noticed  to  be  bloom- 
ing freely.  ' 

Wilbur  Patten  went  November  25  by

to  Lakeland,  near  Tampa,  Fla.,  at  which 
town  Mr.  Patten  has  an  orange  grove. 


which  he  purchased  about  a  year  ago; 
he  has  built  a  residence  there  with  the 
intention  of  making  that  his  permanent 
home,  as  the  climate  agrees  with  him. 
M.  A.  Patten  intends  eventually  to  dis- 
pose of  the  range  at  Tewksbury,  to  en- 
able the  family  to  be  together.  In  addi- 
tion to  building  a  range  of  large  and  up- 
to-date  houses,  workrooms,  etc.,  with 
twenty  acres  of  land,  this  firm  has  an 
enviable  reputation  as  growers  of  choice 
stock.  It  has  a  large  quantity  of  bego- 
nias of  the  variety  Mrs.  M.  A.  Patten,  in 
both  pans  and  pots.  This  is  a  fine  Christ- 
mas variety.

GREEN  CALLA  BUDS. 

We  are  sending  you  under  separate 
cover  three  calla  lily  buds.  You  wUl 
notice  that  these  buds  are  green  in  color 
and  our  entire  stock  of  callas  is  like 
this.  When  they  are  opening  they  seem 
to  bind  in  the  center  and  when  in  full 
bloom  there  is  a  green  tinge  to  them. 
We  had  the  same  trouble  last  year,  but 
thought  the  bulbs  were  chilled  before 
they  were  brought  into  the  greenhouse. 

he  plants  have  a  vigorous  growth  and 
are  in  a  good  clay  loam,  well  fertilized. 
We  shall  appreciate  any  information 
you  can  give  us  regarding  them. 

Q.  C.  F.  S.— Mich. 


The  cause  of  the  trouble  with  these 
callas  is  a  puzzle,  since  I  have  never 
met  with  a  similar  experience,  but  I 
am  inclined  to  believe  that  you  are 
not  giving  them  enough  heat  or  that 
they  are  affected  by  escaping  gas  or 
fumes  of  some  kind.  I  should  advise 
raising  the  temperature  for  them  and 
watering  more  liberally  at  the  roots.

Economy  of  fuel  frequently  has  tw« 
merits;  it  not  only  saves  its  cost  but  it 
results  in  a  better  quality  of  output. 

Both  bouquet  green  and  holly  are  in 
smaller  supply  than  in  many  years,  with 
prices  the  highest  in  the  history  of  the 
trade. 

As  a  trade,  florists  should  be  anxious 
for  the  continuation  of  high  wages.  Good 
pay  for  the  people  means  prosperity 
for  us. 

John  Young,  the  trade's  greatest  sec- 
retary, will  be  51  years  of  age  Decem- 
ber 17.  He  has  served  the  New  York

The  annual  meeting  of  the  Illinois 
State  Florists'  Association  will  be  held

nation Society's  meeting  and  show.  The 
state  organization  is  making  a  drive  for 
life  nieml>ors  in  its  ranks  and  the  S.  A. 
F.  together  at  the  combined  rate  of  $35 
before  January  1,  striving  for  the  100 
members  needed  to  put  the  president  on 
the  executive  board  of  the  S.  A.  F. 

Modestly  refuting  a  correspondent's 
statements  in  The  Review,  Charles  P. 
Mueller,  of  Wichita,  Kan.,  states  that 
while  he  is  on  the  Iward  of  education,  a 
Rotarian,  director  of  the  board  of  com- 
merce and  interested  in  many  other  civic 
institutions,  he  does  not  aspire  to  the 
head  of  any  of  them.  The  only  leader- 
ship Mr.  Mueller  claims  is  a  trade  one — 
that  he  is  the  largest  grower  of  cut 
flowers  in  the  state  of  Kansas.  Mr. 
Mueller  regards  the  coal  situation  in  his 
state  so  seriously  that  he  is  installing  oil 
burners  in  order  to  save  his  stock. 


There  seems  to  be  nothing  which  leads 
more  frequently  to  dissatisfaction  than 
do  dealings  in  rooted  cuttings  of  gera- 
niums.

for  reference. 


THE  BIQOEST  CHBISTMAS. 

After  enjoying  a  Thanksgiving  busi- 
ness which  broke  all  records  for  that 
holiday  and  also  for  some  holidays  pre- 
viously considered  more  important, 
florists  are  preparing  for  Christmas 
sales  which  will  be  the  biggest  in  the 
trade's  history.  Just  as  the  various 
impediments  of  industry  this  season  have 
failed  to  hinder  the  sale  of  flowers,  so, 
some  believe,  will  the  difficulties  of  the 
present  situation  fail  to  restrict  holiday 
sales.  How  veracious  is  such  prediction 
is  yet  to  be  seen,  but  the  trade  has  not 
hesitated  in  its  preparations  for  un- 
precedented business  at  this  time.  Fears 
are  more  often  expressed  by  farsighted 
individuals  that  preparation  will  prove 
insufficient  than  that  it  will  have  been 
overdone. 

Certainly  this  issue  of  The  Review  re- 
flects the  trade's  belief  in  a  holiday 
business  that  will  surpass  all  previous 
ones.  For  this  week's  issue  exceeds  in 
size  not  only  all  previous  Christmas 
numbers,  but  all  previous  regular  or 
special  numbers  of  The  Review  as  well. 
There  never  has  been  so  large  an  issue 
published  before  in  the  history  of  the 
florists'  tralde.  "niough  the  growth, 
like  that  of  the  trade,  is  everywhere,  an 
important  part  of  it  is  in  the  Pink  Sec- 
tion, which  this  week  fills  forty  pages, 
or  twenty-five  per  cent  more  than  it  ever 
occupied  before.  It  is  a  matter  of  satis- 
faction to  its  readers  and  advertisers 
that  the  growth  of  The  Review  keeps 
pace  with  that  of  the  trade. 

HOW  DOES  THIS  ONE   SUIT? 

One  of  the  chief  compensations  for 
the  work  of  publishing  The  Review  is 
knowledge  that  so  many  members  of  the 
trade  watch  this  paper's  progress  with 
friendly  interest.     Like  this: 

About  a  dozen  years  ago,  in  renewing  my  sub- 
scription, I  congratulated  the  editor  on  the  great 
strides  the  paper  was  making,  from  the  first 
•  dltion,  of  thirty-six  pages,  If  I  remember  right, 
to  the  then  ninety-six  pages,  and  I  said  I  would 
soon  be  looking  for  150  pages  or  even  200  pages 
in  the  not  distant  future.  Well,  the  150-page 
weekly  is  here — no  doubt  about  that — the  last 
few  issues  prove  it.  Now  please  hurry  up  with 
tliose  other  pages,  for  I  want  to  see  a  200-page 
issue  l)efore  I  die.  I  have  been  a  subscriber 
from  the  start  and  I  do  not  see  how  it  would  be 
Iiossible  for  any  florist  to  get  along  without  The 
Review. — John  Beimford,  Norton,  Kan.,  Novem- 
ber  28,    1919. 

Because  of  the  number  of  readers  who 
have  shown  interest  in  the  paper's  prog- 
ress. The  Review  talks  about  itself  more 
than  it  otherwise  would  and  this  seems 
an  opportune  time  to  say  that  further 
increase  in  the  number  of  pages  will 
depend  on  the  ability  to  procure  adver- 
tising copy  further  in  advance  of  the 
date  of  publication.  When  a  publica- 
tion grows  to  a  size  of  150  pages,  or 
more,  each  week  it  is  impossible  to 
maintain  a  force  capable  of  setting  the 
type  in  one  or  two  days.  Composition 
must  go  on  continuously  through  the 
week. 

At  present  the  bulk  of  the  advertis- 


ing copy  for  each  issue  of  The  Review 
comes  to  hand  Monday  and  Tuesday. 
The  composing  room  is  "buried"  then 
and  highly  expensive  overtime  is  neces- 
sary to  maintain  the  prompt  service 
which  has  been  given.  There  are  two 
simple  ways  of  meeting  the  situation: 
The  one  adopted  by  trade  papers  in 
other  lines  is  to  require  all  advertising 
copy  to  be  in  far  enough  ahead  to  leave 
comfortable  time  for  the  typesetting 
(the  Saturday  Evening  Post  requires 
copy  six  weeks  in  advance  of  publica- 
tion), in  which  case  an  adequate  force 
of  typesetters  can  be  continuously  em- 
ployed. But  this  slowing  up  of  the  serv- 
ice can  be  avoided  if  advertisers  will 
make  it  their  general  practice  to  place 
copy  in  the  printers'  hands  Thursday, 
Friday  or  Saturday;  then  the  way  can 
be  kept  open  to  take  care  of  the  patron 
whose  instructions  are  unavoidably  de- 
layed to  Monday  or  even  Tuesday — the 
first  forms  go  on  the  presses  Tuesday 
evening. 

OIiASS  PKECES  UP  FABTHEB? 

' '  One  of  the  largest  producers  of  win- 
dow glass,  representing  a  big  percent- 
age of  the  entire  production  of  window 
glass  in  this  country,  withdrew  from 
the  market  until  further  notice  a  few 
days  ago,"  states  a  commercial  journal. 
"At  the  end  of  the  present  manufac- 
turing season  factory  stocks  will  be 
small  and  poorly  assorted.  Jobbers' 
stocks  will  be  in  like  condition.  Re- 
sumption of  operations  in  glass  fac- 
tories will  begin  early  in  January,  1920, 
and  a  more  evenly  balanced  production 
is  looked  for  in  the  next  manufacturing 
season,  as  well  as  an  increased  produc- 
tion over  the  1918-1919  period.  As  stocks 
decrease  and  cutting  of  larger  sizes  be- 
comes necessary  to  meet  the  unexpected 
market  conditions  at  this  time  of  the 
year,  consumers  may  expect  prices  to 
increase  proportionately."  , 

IT'S  UP  TO  YOU. 

In  every  large  city  there  is  one  recog- 
nized Classified  medium,  rarely  two. 
Everybody  knows  that  the  same  ad  in- 
serted in  the  Classified  section  of  two 
or  three  newspapers  will  produce  widely 
varying  results,  a  pack  of  answers  from 
one  and  little  or  nothing  from  the 
others.  It  is  enough  that  the  people 
of  the  community  understand  the  fact; 
they  care  nothing  for  the  reason. 

That  the  same  conditions  exist  in 
trade  paper  fields  is  only  partially  ap- 
preciated. Of  course  there  are  hun- 
dreds, even  thousands,  who  recognize  the 
pulling  power  of  Classified  ads  in  The 
Review,  but  there  are  other  hundreds, 
especially  in  the  extreme  east,  who  have 
not  applied  that  knowledge.  They 
might,  as  well  as  not,  have  for  them-

OBITUARY 


Lyman  H.  Potter. 

Lyman  H.  Potter  died  suddenly  at  his 
home  in  Waukegan,  111.,  Sunday  after- 
noon, November  30,  at  the  age  of  QQ~ 
years.  Death  followed  a  slight  stroke  of 
paralysis,  which  came  while  he  was  wa- 
tering plants  in  the  greenhouse  the  pre- 
vious Monday.  He  had  seemed  to  re- 
cover, but  his  heart  was  not  equal  to  the 
strain. 

Mr.  Potter  was  born  in  New  York 
state,  but  lived  a  large  part  of  his  life 
in  Waukegan,  where  for  the  last  twenty- 
five  years  he  had  conducted  a  green- 
house on  the  corner  of  Oakley  avenue 
and  Center  street.  His  son,  Harold,  has 
been  associated  with  him  in  the  business 
under  the  name  of  L.  H.  Potter  &  Son. 

He  is  survived  by  two  sons  and  two 
daughters:  Harold;  Claude,  of  Lacon, 
111.;  Mrs.  Lena  Potter,  of  Waukegan, 
and  Mrs.  Amanda  Thompson,  of  North 
Chicago.  The  funeral  took  place  Tues- 
day, December  2,  followed  by  interment 
in  Millburn  cemetery.  After  the  regu- 
lar services,  the  Masons  took  charge, 
since  Mr.  Potter  had  been  a  member  of 
that  order  for  many  years,  belonging 
to  the  Blue  Lodge,  Royal  Arch  and  Com- 
mandery. 

William  F.  Haima. 

William  F.  Hanna,  for  many  years 
in  the  trade  in  Cleveland,  0.,  succumbed 
to  cancer  December  4.  He  had  been  ill 
for  the  last  six  years  and  the  last  two 
and  a  half  years  he  had  been  at  home 
constantly.  He  leaves  a  wife  and  a 
daughter. 

Mr.  Hanna  was  born  in  Cleveland  in 
1861  and  was  one  of  Cleveland's  oldest 
florists.  He  received  his  schooling  with 
Harris  Janes,  at  the  Opera  House  block, 
when  18  years  of  age  and  was  in  busi- 
ness for  himself  for  thirty-three  years 
at  East  Ninety-third  and  Union,  where 
he  had  greenhouses  and  a  store.  He  was 
well  known  among  the  Cleveland  trade 
and  was  liked  by  all  who  knew  him 
either  in  a  business  way  or  as  a  friend. 

The  funeral  was  held  from  the  home, 
on  Union  avenue,  Saturday  afternoon, 
December  6.  W.  F.  B. 

John  Beming. 

John  Beming,  father  of  Henry  G. 
Beming,  the  St.  Louis  wholesaler,  died 
November  30  at  the  age  of  81  after  a 
lingering  illness.  Mr.  Beming  was 
known  to  all  in  the  trade  in  St.  Louis 
as  Daddy  Beming  and  all  were  his 
friends.  The  funeral  took  place  Decem- 
ber 2  and  was  attended  by  many  in  the 
trade;  beautiful  floral  emblems  filled  the 
room.  Six  employees  of  his  son's  whole- 
sale establishment  acted  as  pallbearers. 
The  remains  were  laid  to  rest  in  St. 
Marcus  cemetery.  J.  J.  B. 

Sidney  Beard. 

Sidney  Beard,  of  Beard  Bros.,  Detroit, 
Mich.,  died  at  the  Harper  hospital,  De- 
troit, as  the  result  of  injuries  to  his  back 
and  head  sustained  when  the  smokestack 
of  his  range  blew  over,  crashing  through 
the'  roof  of  his  home,  during  the  severe 
storm  November  29.  Mr.  Beard's  back 
was  broken  by  the  falling  stack.  He 
was  taken  to  the  hospital  unconscious 
and  did  not  recover. 


OHICAOO. 

The  Market. 

Anyone  who  is  short  of  flowers  can 
get  stock  in  the  Chicago  market;  get 
stock,  that  is,  unless,  perchance,  he  calls 
for  only  the  few  scarce  items. 

The  week  has  been  one  of  the  most 
remarkable  in  the  history  of  the  Chi- 
cago market,  comparable  only  to  the 
times  of  the  heatless  Mondays  and  the 
days  of  the  big  snow  blockade  two  years 
ago.  It  has  been  a  matter  of  much  sur- 
prise that,  under  all  the  circumstances, 
business  has  been  extremely  heavy.  The 
demand  has  been  principally  from  out 
of  town,  most  of  the  local  retailers  re- 
porting a  sharp  reduction  in  their  sales 
as  the  result  of  the  severe  weather  and 
the  subsequent  orders  to  reduce  light 
and  heat.  It  has  been  the  shipping  trade 
which  has  saved  the  market.  Time  after 
time  it  is  demonstrated  that  the  security 
of  the  growers  who  send  their  stock 
here  rests  on  the  wide  distribution  ob- 
tained by  the  enterprising  wholesalers. 

It  was  December  5  that  the  State  Pub- 
lic Utilities  Commission,  as  a  means  of 
meeting  conditions  growing  out  of  the 
coal  strike,  ordered  the  electric  light 
company  to  turn  off  the  current  of  all 
factories  and  stores  which  did  not  ob- 
serve the  reduced  hours  prescribed  by 
the  commission.  Several  times  since 
then  the  orders  have  been  changed  in 
the  attempt  to  make  the  short  hours 
fit  the  convenience  of  the  greatest  num- 
ber, but  florists  in  general  have  main- 
tained practically  the  customary  hours. 
The  heatless  Mondays  taught  the  trade 
how  to  carry  on  under  such  a  handicap. 
In  many  cases  the  2-year-old  equipment 
was.  brought  out  and  in  other  cases  new 
means  of  partial  illumination  was 
found.  The  wholesalers  were  able  to 
take  care  of  all  business  that  came  their 
way,  even  if  some  of  it  was  done  in  a 
half  light,  but  the  retailers  have  greatly 
reduced  their  purchases  and  most  of 
them  report  their  business  seriously  af- 
fected, even  though  their  stores  are  open 
the  usual  number  of  hours. 

President  George  Asmus,  Secretary 
John  G,  Wittbold  and  J.  L.  Baske,  rep- 
resenting the  Retail  Florists'  Associa- 
tion, had  an  early  conference  with  Sec- 
retary Evans  of  the  Public  Utilities 
Commission.  They  sought  to  ascertain 
the  exact  status  of  flower  stores  under 
the  commission's  short  hour  orders.  It 
was  pointed  out  to  them  that  the  com- 
mission had  no  power  to  prescribe  the 
hours  of  business  in  any  such  establish- 
ment, but  that  it  had  authority  to  order 
the  public  service  companies  to  cut  off 
light  during  certain  hours  of  the  day. 
The  florists  were  told  that  they  were 
at  liberty  to  keep  their  places  open  as 
long  as  they  pleased  provided  they  did 
not  use  gas  or  electric  light  outside  the 
limitations  put  on  all  business.  They 
were  asked  to  reduce  heating  to  the 
minimum.  The  hours  for  the  use  of  light 
in  retail  stores  in  general  were  fixed  at 
from  noon  to  6  p.  m.  and  practically  all 
the  stores  in  the  city  made  these  their 
business  hours.  The  result  has  been 
that  flower  stores  did  practically  no 
business,  even  if  they  were  open  with- 
out lights  in  the  forenoon,  and  business 
practically  ceased  at  dark. 

Under  such  conditions  a  big  out-of- 
town  demand  did  not  serve  to  clear  the 
market.  There  has  been  an  abundance 
of  stock  in  nearly  all  lines.  The  heaviest 
supply  has  been  of  long  roses,  because 
nearly  everyone  wanted  short.  The  re- 
sult   has    been    that    short    roses    have 


brought  relatively  better  prices  than 
medium  stems  and  long  roses  relatively 
lower  prices  than  the  medium  grades. 
Not  within  the  memory  of  the  oldest 
inhabitant  have  chrysanthemums  been 
so  abundant  in  the  first  decade  of  De- 
cember. There  has  been  a  good  demand 
for  fancy  stock  and  first-class  prices 
have  been  readily  obtained  for  fancy, 
big  blooms,  because  most  of  the  supply 
was  of  the  ragged  character  which  is 
characteristic  of  the  end  of  the  season. 
Pompons  are  slowly  dwindling  in  supply, 
but  there  are  as  yet  more  than  the  de- 
mand will  take  at  steady  prices. 

There  have  not  been  too  many  of  the 
other  items  of  seasonable  stock,  but 
prices  all  along  the  line  have  been  held 
down  by  the  abundance  of  roses  and 
mums.  There  are  so  few  violets  and 
sweet  peas  that  their  prices  would  go 
to  the  level  reached  some  time  ago  by 
valley,  orchids  and  lilies  if  it  were  not 
possible  to  buy  long  roses  below  their 
real  worth.  Carnations  are  moving  well, 
but  the  price  is  held  down  by  the  same 
influence.  Paper  Whites  accumulate  for 
lack  of  demand,  and  there  are  too  many 
yellow  narcissi. 

In  general  the  quality  of  flowers  is 
excellent.  One  scarcely  could  ask  for 
finer  roses.  Most  of  the  growers,  heed- 
ing the  warnings  given  that  coal  will  be 
hard  to  get  when  present  supplies  are 
exhausted,  have  been  reducing  their  tem- 
peratures, a  process  which  seldom  does 
any  harm  to  the  quality,  no  matter  what 
it  may  do  to  the  quantity  produced.  At 
the  time  this  issue  of  The  Review  goes 
to  press  it  looks  as  though  the  coal  strike 
is  in  a  way  of  being  settled,  but  that 
the  severe  weather  in  November  and 
now  again  prevailing  has  caused  such 
great  inroads  on  the  reserve  stock  of 
fuel  that  business  hours  will  be  limited 
for  some  time  to  come.  There  is  some 
apprehension  as  to  the  result  on  the  local 
Christmas  business. 

Club  Meeting. 

It's  always  dry  weather,  now,  when 
good  fellows  get  together  and  it  has  not 
in  the  least  increased  the  attendance 
at  the  meetings  of  the  Chicago  Florists' 
Club.  Even  for  the  annual  election  of 
officers,  December  4,  at  the  Hotel  Ran- 
dolph, only  twenty-five  turned  out.  The 
election  proved  a  surprise.  Both  Paul 
KlingSporn  and  Otto  H.  Amling  de- 
clined to  stand  for  the  presidency,  leav- 
ing the  club  without  nominees.  Reopen- 
ing the  matter  resulted  in  naming  and 
electing  the  following  slate: 

President— T.  E.  Waters. 

Vice-president — A.  T.  Pyfer. 

Treasurer — Paul  Weiss. 

Secretary — Fred   Lautenschlager. 

Trustee,  for  three  years,  to  succeed 
himself — W.  J.  Keimel. 

The  principal  discussion  of  the  even- 
ing, after  the  election  had  been  dis- 
posed of,  concerned  the  coal  strike  and 
the  situation  of  the  trade  in  view  of  the 
restrictions  on  the  use  of  fuel  and  light. 
It  appeared  that  no  grower  was  known 
to  be  perilously  short  of  coal  and  that 
the  fuel  administration  will  see  that 
anyone  who  is  careful  to  conserve  fuel 
is  kept  from  freezing  out.  As  for 
wholesalers  and  retailers,  they  were  ad- 
vised to  comply  literally  with  the  short- 
hour  orders,  on  pain  of  having  their 
light  shut  off  and  receiving  undesirable 
publicity.  C.  L.  Washburn  is  chairman 
of  the  club's  coal  committee  and  all  re- 
quiring the  club 's  assistance  were  re- 
ferred to  him.

There  was  an  attractive  little  exhibi- 
tion of  Christmas  accessories  and  novel- 
ties, staged  by  A.  L.  Bandall  Co.  and 
Poehlmann  Bros.  Co.  From  far-oflf  Cal- 
ifornia came  an  erica,  grown  outdoors 
in  the  nursen^  of  MacRorie-McLaren 
Co.,  at  San  Mateo.  George  Ball,  Glen 
EUyn,  showed  King  of  Plumes  chrysan- 
themum and  Hans  Jepsen,  of  Maywood, 
staged  disbudded  blooms  of  Chrysanthe- 
mum Sunshine,  the  Goetz  anemone-flow- 
ered variety.  Gould  Bros.,  of  Wilmette, 
sLowed  well-grown  cyclamens  and  prim- 
ulas. 

Retailers    Adopt    "Milwaukee    Plan." 

The  Betail  Florists'  Association  de- 
cided, at  a  meeting  held  at  the  Morrison 
hotel,  December  9,  to  make  an  attempt 
to  organize  the  trade  in  Chicago  along 
the  lines  of  the  "Milwaukee  plan"  for 
community  advertising.  This  will  call 
for  a  subscription  by  every  retail  florist 
on  the  basis  of  his  purchases  and  by 
every  grower  on  the  basis  of  his  sales. 


Considering  the  zero  weather,  there 
was  a  large  attendance  at  the  meeting, 
a  number  of  retailers  who  do  not  usu- 
ally lend  their  personal  support  being 
present.  President  Asmus  went  straight 
to  the  point,  introducing  President  J.  P. 
Ammann  to  tell  what  the  S.  A.  F.  is  try- 
ing to  accomplish,  Secretary  H.  J.  Seel 
to  tell  of  the  methods  and  exeprience 
of  the  Milwaukee  Florists'  Advertising 
Club  and  W.  C.  Zimmermann  to  speak 
for  the  results  obtained  in  that  city. 
When  the  three  guests  had  finished,  A. 
Lange  said  the  time  for  action  had  ar- 
rived and  made  a  motion  that  those 
present  be  given  an  opportunity  to  sign 
a  pledge  to  go  into  such  a  plan  as  has 
proved  so  profitable  in  Milwaukee.  Six- 
teen retailers  signed. 

The  Commercial  Flower  Growers'  As- 
sociation will  take  action  on  the  matter 
at   a  meeting  December  11. 

President  Asmus  read  to  the  retailers 
the  paper  on  store  management  and  pric- 
ing prepared  for  the  F.  T.  D.  by  H.  P. 


Knoble  and  originally  published  in  The 
Review  of  October  4,  1917.  He  com- 
mended it  to  the  consideration  of  all 
retailers  who  de  not  find  their  profit* 
satisfactory. 

Christmas  Prospects. 

Everyone  in  this  market  feels  sure 
the  Christmas  demand  will  break  all 
records,  just  as  Thanksgiving  did.  There 
also  is  the  belief  that  the  distribution 
of  the  Christmas  Number  of  The  Re- 
view will  be  followed  by  the  biggest  run 
of  early  orders  ever  known,  because  in- 
quiries received  indicate  that  the  buy- 
ers realize  this  may  be  a  year  in  which 
delay  is  dangerous.  It  is  figured  the 
bulk  of  the  orders  will  come  in  early 
this  year  and  that  shipping  will  begin 
heavily  one  day  earlier  than  usual.  Most 
of  the  shipping  houses  are  planning  to 
keep  open  Sunday,  December  21.  The 
big  shipping  days  will  be  December  22 
and  23. 

It  is  the  consensus  that    the  rose  will

There  is 

No  Larger  or  Finer  Supply 

of  Stock 

For  Christmas 

We  urge  all  our  customers  and  the  trade  in  general  to  order  early 


be  the  riost  abundant  flower,  that  short 
roses  will  not  be  equal  to  the  demand  at 
pretty  stiff  prices,  but  that  orders  may 
be  taken  with  safety  for  roses  at  from 
35  cents  to  75  cents.  Beauties  will  be 
in  small  supply.  Carnations  ar ;  so 
backward  this  year  that  it  is  not 
thought  possible  there  can  be  an  ade- 
quate supply  for  Christmas.  Violets  and 
sweet  peas  will  not  be  available  in  quan- 
tity. There  will  be  a  lot  of  poinsettias. 
Chrysanthemums,  while  in  market,  will 
be  too  nearly  gone  to  cut  much  figure. 

There  are  only  small  supplies  of  holly 
and  bouquet  green,  but  boxwood  is 
more  abundant  than  ever  before,  al- 
though some  jobbers  are  well  sold  up. 

The  local  supplies  of  pot  plants  are 
extremely  small  and  limited  in  variety. 
Poinsettias  predominate.  Cyclamens  are 
not  to  be  had  in  quantity. 

In  a  general  way  it  is  considered  that 
the  supply  of  stock  is  mucl*  less  than  it 
should  be  to  conform  to  business  condi- 
tions and  that,  the  same  apparently  b-"- 
ing  more  or  less  true  of  the  whole  middle 
west,  a  clean  sweep  is  expected.  It  is 
believed  that  not  even  the  coal  strike 
and  a  continuance  of  heatless  days  can 
stop  the  public's  buying. 

The  "Strike"   at  Wletors*. 

About  a  month  ago  a  representative 
of  the  section  men  employed  by  Wietor 
Bros.,  addressing  N.  J.  Wietor,  requested 
a  readjustment  of  terms  of  employment, 
covering  wages,  a  six-day  week,  extra 
pay  for  Sundays  and  holidays  and  for 
overtime.  An  accommodation  was 
reached  and  things  went  on  smoothly 
for  two  weeks.  November  29  the  orig- 
inal demands  were  renewed  and,  consid- 
eration being  refused,  ten  of  the  sec-

tion  men  quit  in  a  body.  The  helpers 
stayed.  The  members  of  the  Wietor  fam- 
ily took  off  their  coats  and  prepared  to 
work  in  the  greenhouses  until  such  time 
as  the  vacancies  could  be  filled.  During 
the  first  week  several  new  men  were 
hired  and  four  of  the  "strikers"  asked 
for  their  places  back.  With  things  run- 
ning systematically  again,  further  ap- 
plications from  the  former  employees 
were  declined. 

Everywhere  in  the  trade  wages  have 
been  advanced  more  than  the  average 
wholesale  price  of  flowers  has  gone  up, 
although  it  is  hard  for  some  of  the 
workers  to  believe  it. 

"The  Liyes  of  Great  Men." 

All  the  Christian  world  celebrates  a 
birthday  in  December,  making  one  of 


the  biggest  flower  days  in  the  year.  But 
there  are  other  birthdays  in  December 
which  are  worth  noting,  as  they  include 
the  names  of  some  of  the  trade's 
leaders: 

Birthday  December        Year 

A.    L.    Randall 7  1880 

A.   Henderson    9  1875 

A.  J.  Zech 9  1884 

Bmil    Buettner     14  1856 

George   StoUery    ir.  1867 

Ernst  Wlenhoeber  21  1851 

Anton  Then  25  1854 

As  Longfellow  teaches,  there  is  a 
lesson,  as  well  as  a  friendly  interest,  in 
the  lives  of  those  who  make  an  impress 
on  the  sands  of  our  trade  affairs.     * 

Various  Notes. 

Mrs.  Joseph  Kohout,  wife  of  the 
president  of  the  Commercial  Flower 
Growers'  Association,  was  operated  on, 


December  5,  at  the  Garfield  Park  hos- 
pital for  the  second  time  in  a  few 
months.  At  Thanksgiving  she  returned 
home  after  a  slow  convalescence  from 
the  previous  illness,  only  to  be  hurried 
back  to  the  hospital  within  a  week  for 
a  still  more  serious  operation,  an  abscess 
having  developed  back  of  one  of  her 
ears.  While  she  rallied  well  from  the 
operation,  the  doctors  held  out  slight 
hope  of  her  recovery. 

As  an  indication  of  the  way  things 
are  being  done  these  days,  when  the 
Johnson-Bandall  Co.  took  over  the  Trav- 
erse City  refrigerator  factory,  July  29, 
it  had  one  employee,  a  watchman.  Now 
there  are  124  and  a  large  addition  to 
the  building  is  going  up.  Besides  mak- 
ing refrigerators,  with  an  output  soon 
to  exceed  100  per  day,  the  manufacture

of  baskets  has  been  started.  Mr.  Mil- 
ler, well  known  in  the  basket-making 
community  at  Burlington,  la.,  went  to 
Traverse  City  a  few  weeks  ago  and  is 
teaching  the  art  to  the  workers  there 
with  gratifying  success. 

W.  J.  Keimel,  president,  and  Paul 
Weiss,  secretary  and  treasurer,  of  the 
Bichmond  Greenhouse  Co.,  were  at  Kich- 
mond,  Ind.,  December  5,  to  look  over 
their  newly  acquired  property.  C.  J. 
Michelsen,  who  was  in  Cleveland  De- 
cember 4,  joined  them  at  Richmond. 

Cleaning  the  glass  with  the  regular 
greenhouse  force  usually  results  in  burns 
from  the  muriatic  acid  and  other  acci- 
dents or  injuries.  So  H.  N.  Bruns  last 
week  had  the  work  done  by  a  concern 
which  makes  a  specialty  of  such  clean- 
ing. 

"William  A.  Hansen,  of  the  E.  C.  Am- 
ling  Co.,  is  swinging  around  the  circle 
of  the  company's  customers  in  Kansas 
City,  Louisville,  Pittsburgh  and  inter- 
mediate cities.  He  will  be  away  ten 
days. 

That  the  season  of  1920  will  break 
all  previous  records  in  greenhouse  build- 
ing is  the  belief  of  M.  C.  Wright,  west- 
ern sales  manager  for  the  Lord  &  Burn- 
ham  Co.  Mr.  Wright  further  believes 
that  the  next  few  years  will  see  a  change 
from  the  narrow,  ridge-and-furrow  type 
of  house  heretofore  ubiquitous  to  the 
detached,  wide  iron-frame  houses  re- 
cently built  in  numbers  in  the  east. 

This  will  be  Ed.  Enders'  thirty-second 
Christmas  with  C.  A.  Samuelson. 

A.  T.  Pyfer  &  Co.,  to  fool  the  storage 
box  in  their  store,  have  for  some  months 
operated  a  one-ton  McClellan  refriger- 
ating machine.  It  is  the  only  one  of 
its  kind  in  the  market.  It  operates  on 
the  ammonia  principle,  is  simplicity  it- 
self and  is  giving  good  satisfaction. 

John  PoehMann  shortened  his  work- 
ing hours  last  week,  not  because  of  the 
fuel  restrictions,  but  because  of  trouble 
with  his  teeth  which  took  him  to  the 
dentist  daily. 

B.  Zalinger,  who  formerly  ran  the 
flower  store  in  the  rotunda  of  the  In- 
surance Exchange  building,  now  covers 
three  states  for  the  A.  L.  Randall  Co. 

C.  L.  Washburn  is  an  advocate  of 
high  wages.  He  says  high  wages  in  other 
lines  make  it  possible  for  people  to  buy

Joseph  Foerster  says  it  is  two  years 
since  his  concern  has  wired  special  of- 
fers to  out-of-town  buyers  when  the 
market  was  heavily  supplied.  In  his 
opinion  the  practice  results  in  nothing 
except  lowering  returns  to  all  the  grow-

Repair  that  Leaky  or  Cracked  Boiler 

Without  Shutting  Off 
the  Heat 


EVERY  greenhouse  man  who  has  ever  had  a  leaky  or  cracked  boiler 
knows  what  a  lot  of  time,  trouble  and  money  that  means. 
Yet  all  the  fuss  and  worry  attendant  upon  the  old-fashioned 
method  of  repairing  is  now  entirely  unnecessary. 

"X"— the  MTonderful  Boiler  Liquid  -will  do  $200.00  worth  of  repair 
work  for  $10.00;  and  do  it  in  about  half  an  hour. 

"X"  Is  a  Scientific  Process  of  Repairing 
Without  Dismantling  or  Welding 

"X"  is  an  absolute  liauid.  It  is  simply  poured  into  the  boiler  and 
instantly  combines  itself  with  the  water.  In  sizzling  out  through 
the  leak  or  crack  the  "X"  is  changed  by  the  atmospheric  oxygen  into 
a  metal-like  solid,  making  a  permanent  repair.  This  repair  is  gradu- 
ally hardened  by  the  heat  in  the  boiler,  so  that  it  stands  a  pressure 
of  over  one-Quarter  of  a  ton.  ^.     ,,      . 

The  surplus  "X"  that  remains  m  the  water  automatically  stops 
all  new  leaks  due  to  expansion  or  other  causes.  In  this  way  "X" 
Liauid  makes  the  boiler  (and  in  a  hot  water  system,  the  entire  sys- 
tem) absolutely  LEAKPROOF. 

Makes  Boilers  Rustproof  and  Scaleproof 

Saves  Coal 

The  chemical  composition  of  '"X"  Liquid  is  such  that  it  absorbs 
all  free  oxygen  in  the  water.  This  prevents  the  metal  from  Rusting. 
"X"  also  prevents  the  lime  and  other  scale-forming  elements  in  the 
water  from  depositing  layers  of  Scale  on  the  walls.  '"X"  keeps  the

"X"  does  not  evaporate  or  lose  its  strength  with  age.  When  new 
water  is  added  it  combines  itself  with  this  water  and  performs  its

"X"  contains  no  cement,  powder  or  other  injurious  ingredients. 
It  cannot  clog  the  air  valves;  in  fact  it  makes  frequent  repacking  of 
valves  unnecessary. 

A  Strong

You  take  no  chance  in  using 
"X"  Liquid  It  is  uncondition- 
ally guaranteed  to  make  good.  If 
it  fails  you  get  a  new  can— or 
your  money  back. 

But  your  greatest  guarantee 
of  the  value  of  "X"  is  the  fact 
that  it  is  used,  sold  and  recom- 
mended by  99  per  cent  of  the 
manufacturers  of  boilers  and 
radiators.  It  is  used  by  the  U.  S. 
Government. 

If  your  boiler  cracks  or  leaks 
this  Winter  you  don't  have  to 
worry  about  your  greenery  —  if 
you  keep  a  can  of  'X"  Liquid 
handy,  .lust  get  a  can  of  "X"

The  Market. 

The  market  has  been  kept  well 
cleaned,  but  this  is  not  due  to  the  de- 
mand. Carnations  and  roses  are  both  off 
crop  and  few  are  in  the  market.  Coun- 
ter trade  has  been  rather  dull  and  what 
little  floral  work  there  has  been  was 
taken  care  of  with  small  effort.  There 
are  few  chrysanthemums  in  the  market 
and  what  do  arrive  clean  up  readily.  A 
few  pompons  are  still  offered.  Violets, 
locally  grown  singles  and  doubles,  have 
been  far  short  of  the  demand;  Cali- 
fornia singles  are  offered  with  little  suc- 
cess. Stevia  is  arriving  in  quantity  and 
cleans  up  well  at  $2  and  $2.50  per  hun- 
dred. The  demand  for  narcissi  has  been 
good  and  they  realize  $6  per  hundred. 
Daisies,  calendulas,  wallflowers  and 
other  novelties  clean  up  well.  The  mar- 
ket is  well  supplied  with  greens,  of 
which  adiantum  is  in  most  demand. 
Boxwood,  princess  pine  and  laurel  are 
clearing  well.  Christmas  novelties  for 
baskets,  wreaths  and  other  decorations 
are  having  a  heavy  demand;  there  is  a 
variety  of  these  exceeding  other  years.

Repair  that  Leaky  or  Cracked  Boiler 

Without  Shutting  Off 
the  Heat 


EVERY  greenhouse  man  who  has  ever  had  a  leaky  or  cracked  boiler 
knows  what  a  lot  of  time,  trouble  and  money  that  means. 
Yet  all  the  fuss  and  worry  attendant  upon  the  old-fashioned 
method  of  repairing  is  now  entirely   unnecessary. 

"X"— the  wonderful  Boiler  Li(juid-willdo$200.00  worth  of  repair 
work  for  $10.00;  and  do  it  in  about  half  an  hour. 

"X''  Is  a  Scientific  Process  of  Repairing 
Without  Dismantling  or  Welding 

"X"  is  an  absolute  liauid.  It  is  simply  poured  into  the  boiler  and 
instantly  combines  itself  with  the  water.  In  sizzling  out  through 
the  leak  or  crack  the  "X"  is  changed  by  the  atmospheric  oxygen  into 
a  metal-like  solid,  making  a  permanent  repair.  This  repair  is  gradu- 
ally hardrned  by  the  heat  in  the  boiler,  so  that  it  stands  a  pressure 
of  over  one-quarter  of  a  ton. 

The  surplus  "X"  that  remains  in  the  water  automatically  stops 
all  new  leaks  due  to  expansion  or  other  causes.  In  this  way  "X" 
Liauid  makes  the  boiler  (and  in  a  hot  water  system,  the  entire  sys- 
tem) absolutely  LEAKPROOF. 

Makes  Boilers  Rustproof  and  Scaleproof 

Saves  Coal 

The  chemical  composition  of  '"X"  Liquid  is  such  that  it  absorbs 
all  free  oxygen  in  the  water.  This  prevents  the  metal  from  Rusting. 
"X"  also  prevents  the  lime  and  other  scale-forming  elements  in  the 
water  from  depositing  layers  of  Scale  on  the  walls,  "X"  keeps  the 
boiler  Rustproof  and  Scaleproof. 


"X"  does  not  evaporate  or  lose  its  strength  with  age.  When  new 
water  is  added  it  combines  itself  with  this  water  and  performs  its 
functions  again  and  again. 

"X"  contains  no  cement,  powder  or  other  injurious  ingredients. 
It  cannot  clog  the  air  valves;  in  fact  it  makes  frequent  repacking  of 
valves  unnecessary. 

A  Strong 
Guarantee  I 

You  take  no  chance  in  using 
"X"  Liquid  It  is  uncondition- 
ally guaranteed  to  make  good.  If 
it  fails  you  get  a  new  can— or 
your  money  back. 

But  your  greatest  guarantee 
of  the  value  of  "X"  is  the  fact 
that  it  is  used,  sold  and  recom- 
mended by  99  per  cent  of  the 
manufacturers  of  boilers  and 
radiators.  It  is  used  by  the  U,  S.

and  do  the  repair  job  yourself.

NATIONAL  PUBLICITY  CAMPAIGN. 


The  Slogan  Song. 

The  publicity  being  given  to  the  Von 
Tilzer  song,  "Say  It  with  Flowers,"  is 
quite  gratifying  to  our  committees.  The 
song  is  a  pronounced  "hit"  and,  besides 
the  presentations  of  it  in  the  big  thea- 
ters of  our  leading  cities  arranged  for 
by  its  publishers,  it  is  being  presented 
in  minor  cities  by  artists  outside  of  the 
"headliner"  circle,  who  quickly  take 
hold  of  anything  which  becomes  a  suc- 
cess in  the  theaters  of  the  larger  cir- 
cuits. A  correspondent  who  happened 
to  be  in  the  city  of  Lowell,  Mass.,  last 
week,  writes  us  that  its  rendition  in  a 
theater  there  came  as  a  surprise  to  the 
florists,  one  of  whom  immediately  had 
flowers  sent  in  to  the  singer,  who  used 
them  to  advantage.  Any  assistance  the 
florists  can  render  in  the  presentation 
of  the  song  is  sure  to  result  to  their  ad- 
vantage locally.  This  week  Buffalo  has 
a  presentation  of  it  at  Shea's  theater, 
by  Miss  Emma  Stevens,  a  well-known 
vocalist.  New  Orleans  is  also  to  have 
it  featured  for  several  weeks  in  a  "Re- 
vue" at  one  of  its  leading  places  of  en- 
tertainment. It  is  quite  likely  that  it 
will  be  heard  in  all  cities  in  the  country

Thk  Most  Modern  and  Artistic  Home  of  Flowers  in  New  England 

A  VERITABLE  crystal  palace  of  flowers  is  the  Penn  salesroom,  the  daily  scene  of  the  greatest 
activity  in  the  Boston  retail  flower  trade.  The  tiled  floor  is  in  soft  buff  colored  stone  and 
walls  of  Ivory  Caen  stone.  In  the  rear  is  the  crowning  scenic  feature  of  all— "The  Fountain  Court." 
In  the  center  plays  a  wonderful  Italian  fountain,  the  work  of  a  Boston  sculptor.  The  Court  is  sur- 
rounded by  eight  marble  pillars  and  each  top  with  an  ornamental  frieze,  while  above  is  a  steel  and 
leaded  glass  ceiling  which  lights  the  Court  day  and  night,  for  at  night  there  are  electric  fixtures 
sculptured  and  modeled  by  a  famous  Italian  artist  in  the  purest  of  alabaster  marble  above  the  ground 
glass  to  take  the  place  of  the  sun.

For  all  Points  in  Central  Louisiana 

the  signs  and  proposes  to  make  an  ex- 
tensive planting  of  flowering  and  ever- 
green shrubs  around  each,  with,  perhaps, 
vines  trained  around  the  framework — 
an  excellent  idea  and  one  worthy  of  gen- 
eral adoption. 

The  Campaign  Fund. 
Our  campaign  fund  is  not  nearly  big 
enough  to  enable  our  committees  to 
carry  to  completion  their  plans  for  gen- 
eral publicity.  They  find  it  no  cinch  to 
arrange  campaign  plans  with  simply  an 
expectancy  of  funds  being  available  to 
allow  of  such  plans  being  put  into  effect. 
Support  in  their  work  cannot  be  too 
strong — at  present  it  is  not  even  reason- 
able. The  florists  have  given  liberal 
supj)ort  to  various  drives  in  the  last  two 
or  three  years,  but  are  sadly  neglecting 
to  support  their  own  drive,  one  which 
promises  so  much  benefit  to  them.  It  is 
true  that  a  goodly  number  of  our  craft 
are   cooperating  to   provide   a  working

fund,  but  in  number  they  represent  little 
more  than  one-tenth  of  the  trade.  If  the 
remaining  nine-tenths  are  not  wholly  in- 
different to  the  movement,  they  are 
mighty  slow  to  respond  to  the  appeal 
constantly  made  to  them.  Their  atti- 
tude is  almost  unbelievable.  It  was 
never  thought  that  a  florist,  usually 
classed  with  the  best  fellows  on  earth, 
would  withhold  assistance  to  a  project 
which  promised  so  much  for  him  indi- 
vidually and  was  calculated  to  extend 
his  opportunities  for  doing  business.  It 
is  still  hard  to  believe  that  such  is  the 
case — it  is  not,  cannot  be.  It  must  be 
sheer  forgetfulness.  The  matter  of  the 
amount  of  the  subscription  need  worry 
nobody — it  can  be  increased  at  any 
time.  If  $10  is  all  that  can  be  con- 
tributed, send  it.    If  less,  it  will  be  just

MR.  JOHN  T.  MUIR, 

4647  Grand  Blvd.,  City. 
Dear  Mr.  Muir: 

It  mig:ht  be  of  interest  to  you  to  know  hov;  much  the  officers  of  this 
bank  appreciated  the  admirable  taste  v/hich  you  displayed  in  the  arrangement 
of  the  design  and  the  beautiful  flowers  used  in  the  floral  piece  furnished 
by  you  at  the  time  of  Mr.  Lamport's  funeral. 

It  was  an  occasion  on  which  v/e  felt  that  the  best  was  none  too  good 
and  we  were  very  much  gratified  at  your  efforts  in  that  direction.  It  was 
also  spoken  of  by  Mrs.  Lamport  afterwards  as  being  the  most  wonderful 
assemblage  of  flowers  that  she  had  ever  seen. 

Feeling  confident  that  you  would  be  pleased  to  know  of  these  favorable 
comments,  I  have  taken  the  liberty  of  writing  you  this  letter. 

Very  sincerely,

everyone  was  able  to  take  care  of  all  his

Roses  are  arriving  in  fine  quality  and, 
now  that  the  mum  season  is  pretty  well 
over,  they  are  cleaning  up  well  each  day 
at  advanced  prices.     This  advance  may 


be  only  temporary,  as  the  increased 
demand  for  the  cotillion  always  has  a 
tendency  to  boost  prices,  but  it  looks  as 
if  the  demand  is  going  to  continue,  since

Christmas  season  will  be  here,  so  that  it 
seems  about  as  well  to  keep  customers 
accustomed  to  the  prices  it  will  be  nec- 
essary to  charge.  Tlie  public  is  now 
well  aware  of  tlie  fact  that  it  will  be

everything  else,  tliis  winter.  Anyone

nothing  hut  the  remark,  ''Business  is

himself,  can  draw  only  one  conclusion, 
which  is  that,  in  spite  of  the  advance(i

ity.  The  same  might  be  said  of  sweet 
peas.  Violets  are  to  be  had,  mostly  sin- 
gle. There  were  a  good  many  double 
violets  used  last  week,  but  the  majority 
of  these  came  from  out  of  town.  Or- 
chids are  quite  scarce  and  the  price  of 
these  is  almost  prohibitive.  There  are 
some  Paper  Whites  and  stevia  seems  to 
be  plentiful.  To  sum  up,  the  market  is 
in  a  most  satisfactory  condition. 

The  Bachelors'  Cotillion. 

The  Bachelors'  Cotillion  held  their 
first  dance  at  the  Lyric  December  1, 
when  forty  debutantes  were  presented 
to  society.  This  alone  assures  Balti- 
more of  a  gay  social  season.  The  dance 
was  one  of  the  largest  and  most  suc- 
cessful ever  held  by  this  club.  The 
decorations  were  again  in  charge  of 
Black  Bros,  and  this  firm  outdid  itself. 
The  Lyric,  when  it  is  to  be  arranged  for 
a  dance,  is  certainly  a  difficult  proposi- 
tion for  a  florist  to  handle.  "With  the 
orchestra  covered  with  a  floor,  the  stage 
all  thrown  into  one,  not  a  piece  of 
furniture  in  the  whole  building  and  the 
galleries  barren  and  empty,  it  takes 
some  thought  and  skill  to  transform  it 
into  the  scene  it  presented  on  this  occa- 
sion. But  Black  Bros,  have  done  this 
often  and,  though  it  is  different  on  each 
occasion,  they  do  not  mind  it. 

Large  lattice  screens  draped  with 
southern  smilax  hid  the  galleries  from 
view  and  the  stage  was  arranged  as  an 
oriental  tea  garden,  in  which  many 
palms  were  used.  One  of  the  most 
striking  features  of  the  entire  decora- 
tion   was    an   original    idea    of   George

Black.  Along  the  entire  tier  of  boxes, 
which  were  used  by  the  chaperons,  he 
had  heavy  festoons  of  southern  smilax. 
As  the  debutantes  arrived  they  placed 
their  bouquets  in  these  festoons,  so  that 
by  11  o'clock  the  front  of  these  boxes 
around  the  entire  dance  floor  was  a 
solid  bank  of  American  Beauties,  Pre- 
mier, Columbia,  Ophelia  (these  were  the 
most  conspicuous),  together  with  or- 
chids, violets,  sweet  peas  and  some  few 
chrysanthemums. 

Various  Notes. 
The  scene  at  the  Bachelors'  Cotillion, 
where  all  was  enjoyment  and  pleasure 
and  everything  went  off  without  a  hitch, 
was  in  sharp  contrast  with  a  different 
scene  in  the  retail  stores  during  the  day, 
where  everything  was  work,  bustle 
and  confusion;  indeed,  some  of  the  flo- 
rists were  obliged  to  put  in  the  better 
part  of  Sunday  in  order  to  get  ready. 
And  be  it  remembered  that  this  special 
Sunday  was  the  one  that  a  grand  jury 
and  the  police  department  had  selected 
on  which  to  enforce  the  "blue  laws," 
so  that  it  was  necessary  for  some  of  the 
florists  to  get  special  permits.  I  was 
a  little  afraid  there  would  not  be  enough 
stock  to  meet  the  demand,  but  a  visit 
to  those  stores  which  furnish  the  major

part  of  this  great  mass  of  flowers,  found 
them  all  happy,  though  busy;  in  some 
cases  they  could  not  furnish  what  their 
customers  wanted,  but  everyone  was 
reasonable  and  took  something  else.  At 
every  store  I  made  it  a  point  to  ask  how 
orders  compared  with  those  of  former 
seasons  and  in  every  case  the  reply 
was  the  same — orders  were  as  heavy  as 
two  years  ago,  the  last  time  a  compari- 
son could  be  made. 

At  John  Cook's  everything  that  could 
be  obtained  was  used  up.  One  bouquet 
made  up  by  this  firm  was  new  to  me 
and  was  one  which  I  think  will  come 
into  prominence.  It  was  a  large  bunch 
of  five  dozen  Mrs.  John  Cook,  with 
Sweetheart  roses  above  those  that  the 
bouquet  was  made  of;  thus  the  Sweet- 
heart roses  were  worked  in  much  the 
same  as  finer  flowers  would  be  worked 
into  a  funeral  design.  I  do  not  mean 
that  it  had  anything  like  the  appear- 
ance of  a  funeral  design,  but  it  was  a 
novel  piece  of  work  with  Sweetheart 
roses  tied  to  the  ribbons.  Another  bou- 
quet made  by  this  firm  was  one  of  fif- 
teen orchids  and  maidenhair  fern.  Each 
orchid  cost  $4,  which  gives  some  idea 
of  how  the  increased  cost  of  flowers  was 
paid.

have  been  ahead  of  what  they  were

I  have  told  in  detail  about  the  cotil- 
lion, but  space  will  not  permit  me  to 
tell  of  the  many  "before  the  cotillion 
dinners"  the  florists  had  to  contend 
with.  It  is  enough  to  say  that  a  dinner 
was  given  in  honor  of  each  of  the  forty 
debutantes.     The  first  big  flower  event

verti.sing  of  the  florists'  "Say  It  with 
Flowers"  is  having  a  welcome  effect 
and  the  people  are  finding  money  to  buy 
in  larger  quantities. 

The  trade  is  beginning  to  worry  over 
the  coal  situation.  It  is  doubtful  if  any 
growers  will  be  affected  for  a  time,  but 
should  the  situation  be  prolonged  it 
will  be  disastrous  to  the  business. 

The  present  wholesale  prices  of  roses 
such  as  Columbia,  Hoosier  Beauty  and 
Sunburst  are  $25,  $20,  $15  and  $10,  de-

many  of  the  growers  are  worried  for 
fear  of  losing  all  of  their  Christmas 
stock.  Christmas  greens  are  beginning 
to  be  used  extensively  for  decorating, 
even  at  this  early  date. 

Flowers  have  been  scarce,  although 
there  has  been  more  of  a  variety  of 
them.  There  are  still  a  few  Dolly  Dim- 
ple, Eaton  and  Chadwick  mums  on  the 
market.  Sweet  peas  and  violets,  both 
single  and  double,  are  being  used  exten- 
sively in  corsage  work.  There  are  a  few 
daisies  and  some  mignonette  on  the 
market. 

In  roses,  Premier,  Hoosier  Beauty, 
Columbia,  Aaron  Ward  and  Double 
White  Killarney  take  the  lead  and  bring 
fancy  prices.  Orchids  and  Sweetheart 
roses  are  scarce.  Narcissi  retail  at  $1.50 
and  $2  per  dozen.    In  plants,  cherries.

high  quality  of  its  exhibits  the  resump-

Coal  and  the  Market. 

In  common  with  all  other  lines,  the 
flower  business  has  felt  the  effects  of 
the  coal  shortage  in  this  territory.  Al- 
though the  coal  miners  in  this  district 
had  been  on  strike  for  several  weeks 
and  it  was  generally  known  that  it  was 
a  diflScult  matter  to  get  coal  from  any 
dealer,  the  seriousness  of  the  situation 
was  not  felt  until  the  sudden  cold  spell 
that  came  Thanksgiving  day.  The 
thermometer  kept  dropping  for  several 
days  and  the  city  has  been  covered  with 
Bleet  and  snow  for  more  than  ten  days, 
with  a  temperature  ranging  from  20  de- 
grees above  to  5  degrees  above,  accord- 
ing to  government  readings,  and  even 
colder  outside  the  city.  The  severe 
weather  brought  such  heavy  demands 
for  coal  that  the  fuel  administration 
was  forced  to  take  charge  of  the  situa-

tion.  Members  of  the  administration 
and  about  1,000  retail  and  wholesale 
merchants  held  a  meeting  Sunday,  No- 
vember 30,  and  decided  to  limit  the 
hours  for  business  for  the  week.  The-

open  stores  at  9  a.  m.  and  close  at  4

The  Market. 

The  cut  flower  market  has  eased  a 
f  trifle  since  .Thanksgiving  week.  There 
>  have  been  good  days  and  there  have 
been  day«  that  were  quiet.  The  supply 
is  hardly  equal  to  the  demand.  Chrysan- 
themums are  almost  over.  Bonuaffon, 
of  low  grade,  Chadwick  and  Nonin,  of 
•good  grade,  nearly  make  up  the  assort- 
■''menli.  There  will  probably  be  a  few  for 
another  week,  maybe  even  until  Christ- 
mas, but  for  all  practical  purposes  this 
week  finishes  them  for  the  season.  Car- 
nations and  roses  increase  slowly.  Both 
are  getting  into  winter  form.  The  mis- 
cellaneous flowers,  useful  in  giving  va- 
riety, are  in  fair  supply.  They  all  sell 
well  except  stevia,  which  lags.  Prices 
have  remained  about  the  same  as  a  week 
ago,  excepting  in  a  few  instances,  where 
advances  have  been  made  owing  to 
scarcity. 

Good  judges  of  the  market  believe 
that  the  supply  will  increase  with  the 
approach  of  the  Christmas  holidays,  that 
it  will  not  keep  pace  with  the  demand, 
that  prices  will  be  about  the  same  as 
last  year,  possibly  higher  on  a  few 
things. 

It  is  generally  conceded  that  Beau- 
ties, which  have  formed  an  important 
part  of  the  Christmas  business,  will  not 
be  nearly  so  plentiful  as  usual,  owing 
to  the  high  fall  prices  and  to  the  cloudy 
October.  Hadley,  Kichmond  and  red  car- 
nations wil  be  in  small  supply.  There 
will  be  some  Russell  and  Premier. 

There  is  a  great  uncertainty  regard- 
ing orchids.  The  question  is  whether 
they  will  be  in  time  for  Christmas.

Those  who  attended  the  December

is  just  one  thing  to  be  done.    That  thing 
earnestly  done  is  bound  to  succeed.     A 
representative  of  the  committee  should 
see    each    retailer   and   ask    his   or   her 
hearty  support.     To  employ  an  outsider 
to  do  this  would  be   a  waste  of  time 
and  money.    It  would  simply  mean  fail-

Frank  M.  Eoss  has  about  completed 
rebuilding  his  store  at  136  South  Fifty- 
second  street.  It  is  one  of  two  build- 
ings that  present  a  decidedly  pleasing 
appearance.  The  door,  placed  at  an 
angle  on  the  side,  adds  to  the  effect  of 
space  given  on  entering  and  also  leaves 
the  fine  show  window  in  undisputed  pos- 
session of  the  front.  Frank  P.  Gaul,  the 
manager,  called  attention  to  the  lightness 
of  the  store.  It  is  finished  in  white  and 
has  rear  as  well  as  front  light.  The 
workroom  is  in  the  store,  but  this  may 
not  be  permanent.  The  icebox  is  large 
and  well  appointed.  Electric  lights  are 
used  throughout.  The  whole  appearance 
of  the  store  is  most  attractive.

away  down.  John  Aschmann  and  his 
son,  Edward  Aschmann,  had  just  finished 
that  personal  care  that  all  of  us  put 
at  some  time  or  other  on  the  heating 
system  to  see  that  all  is  well  before  win- 
ter. The  flu  had  knocked  out  last  fall's 
visit  to  the  Godfrey  Aschmann  range, 
so  that  it  was  with  especial  interest  that 
the  greenhouses  were  seen.  The  range 
was  familiar,  yet  different.  The  houses 
were  unchanged.  The  varieties  grown 
were  the  same  in  general  character,  but 
differed  in  personnel.  The  strict  regard 
for  the  value  of  space  was  as  evident  as 
of  yore.  John  Aschmann  appeared  to 
be  meeting  the  changing  business  con- 
ditions with  courage.  He  was  planning 
ahead  carefully  and  said  that  he  knew 
good  stock  and  made  it  a  rule  not  to 
send  out  anything  that  he  would  not 
like  to  receive.     The  general  quality  of 


the  stock  in  the  houses  was  good.  Were 
a  specialty  each  in  the  foliage  and  flow- 
ering classes  to  be  named,  they  would 
be  ferns  and  cinerarias;  both  are  nicely 
done  and  both  are  numerous — sure  signs 
of  popularity. 

Various  Notes. 

Eobert  B.  Bragg  took  that  beautiful 
rose  seedling  of  E.  Towill's  back  to  Ed- 
ward Eeid's  after  the  December  meeting 
of  the  Florists'  Club  on  the  roof  garden 
of  the  Adelphia.  The  following  morn- 
ing Mr.  Bragg  sent  most  of  the  flowers 
to  Pennock  Bros.  A.  B.  Cartledge  was 
pleased  with  them  and  had  them  put  in 
the  big  show  window.  A  few  of  the 
blooms  went  to  Mrs.  Ehret,  to  grace  her 
window  on  Fairmount  avenue.

different  methods  employed  in  the  vari- 
ous nurseries.

BOSTON. 

Tlie  Market. 

There  has  been  a  lack  of  snap  in 
business  for  the  last  week  and  values 
have  declined  somewhat.  This  is  the 
customary  lull  before  the  great  holiday 
demand  sets  in.  There  is  no  glut  of  any 
kind  and,  while  we  have  had  much  colder 
weather,  the  skies  have  been  clear 
and  this  has  been  decidedly  favorable 
for  the  growers.  Arrivals  are  not  heavy 
and  will  continue  relatively  light  until 
a  few  days  before  the  holidays.  Eoses 
have  not  moved  so  well  and  have 
dropped  in  price  so  that  short-stemmed 
stock  is  now  down  to  $4  and  other 
grades  have  taken  corresponding  slumps. 
The  clear,  cool  weather  is  favorable  for 
roses  and,  while  supplies  are  not  large 
now,  an  extra  good  Christmas  crop  seems 
assured.  Specially  good  Beauties  sell 
at  $9  to  $12  per  dozen.  Among  the 
hybrid  teas  Columbia  ranks  perhaps  first 
in  popularity,  with  Ophelia  a  close  sec- 
ond. There  is  only  a  small  supply  of 
Hadley  and  other  reds  coming  in.  The 
novelties,  such  as  Crusader,  Pilgrim  and 
Premier,  sell  remarkably  well. 

Carnations  have  held  up  better  than 
roses,  and  the  bulk  sell  at  $4  to  $6. 
"Violets  are  not  at  all  plentiful  at  $2.50 
to  $3.  Pansies  are  insufficient  for  the 
demand  and  sweet  peas,  while  more 
abundant,  sell  easily.  Chrysanthemums 
are  still  seen  in  fair  numbers.  Seidewitz 
and  Mistletoe  are  both  good,  and  some 
of  the  old  Chedwick  and  Maud  Dean  are

Whites  and  marguerites  there  are  mod-

Bouvardia  is  fine  and  sells  better  than

poinsettias  and  practically  everything 
usually  seen  at  Christmas,  but  cycla-

Florists'   Association, 

There  was  a  good  attendance  at  the 
monthly  dinner  and  meeting  of  the  Bos- 
ton Florists'  Association  at  the  Parker 
House  December  2.  On  the  tables  were 
arranged  some  fine  Mistletoe  chrysan- 
themums, from  Harold  A.  Ryan,  and 
Bernice,  W.  D.  Howard's  new  crimson 
carnation.  The  question  of  holding  a 
dance  ladies'  night  or  a  banquet  was 
discussed  by  some  of  the  fun-loving 
members,  but  after  Mr.  Gibbs,  of  Lynn, 
had  frowned  on  these  schemes  and  had 
spoken  of  the  important  work  ahead  of 
the  association  a  lively  and  interesting 
discussion,  participated  in  by  W.  H.  El-

were  coming  on  in  flats.  Chrysanthe- 
mums were  mostly  cut;  they  had 
proved  profitable  this  season.  Quantities 
of  lilies,  hydrangeas,  Dutch  bulbs,  etc., 
were  ready  to  fill  the  space  they  oc- 
cupied. Governor  Herrick  was  blue  with 
flowers,  while  a  bench  of  Princess  of 
Wales  was  almost  flowerless.  Mr.  Byan 
likes  the  former  for  funeral  work.  Its 
stems  are  short  and  it  is  lacking  in 
odor,  but  its  free-blooming  qualities 
commend  it.  A  fine  lot  of  large  strelitzias

the  proprietor,  E.  S.  Webster,  member 
of  the  noted  firm  of  Stone  &  Webster, 
and  under  the  auspices  of  the  Massa- 
chusetts Horticultural  Society,  the 
greenhouses  on  this  estate,  located  in 
the  Chestnut  Hill  section  of  Brookline, 
were  thrown  open  to  the  public,  the  spe- 
cial attraction  being  the  collection  of 
winter-flowering  begonias.  The  many 
who  took  advantage  of  the  invitation 
had  a  rich  treat.  The  English  type  of 
winter-flowering  begonias  developed  by 
Veitch  's  and  Clibrans  occupied  one 
house,  being  arranged  in  groups  of  one 
variety  with  suitable  foliage  plants 
interspersed  to  show  up  their  beauty. 
Out  of  a  large  number  of  sorts,  Exquisite 
stood  head  and  shoulders  above  all  oth- 
ers in  its  glorious  colorings,  with  im- 
mense flowers  equal  to  those  produced 
on  the  finest  summer  tuberous  begonias. 
Optima,  as  a  commercial  variety,  stands 
high  and  showed  up  splendidly,  as  did 
Moonbeam,  Fireflame,  Rosalind,  Winter 
Cheer,  Mrs.  Heal,  Matchless  and  other 
sorts.  All  these  plants  were  grandly 
flowered.  Another  house  contained  large 
specimens  of  Melior,  Cincinnati,  Mrs. 
Peterson,  Turnford  Hall  and  Lorraine  in 
pans  and  baskets.  The  carnation  house 
had  splendid  batches  of  Doris,  White 
Wonder  (here  preferred  to  Matchless  as 
being  a  better  winter  bloomer),  Pink 
Delight,  Rosalia,  ;,Iiiaddie  and  Enchant- 
ress Supreme.  There  were  splendid  lots 
of  cyclamens,  poinsettias,  orchids  (in- 
cluding thrifty  odontoglossums),  ericas, 
roses,  gardenias,  cinerarias  and  other 
plants.  A  fine  new  plant  range  has 
just  been  completed  here  and  is  now 
filled  with  thrifty  stock.  Everything 
here  reflects  the  highest  credit  on  Peter

New  England  florists  are  probably  as 
well  stocked  up  with  fuel  as  those  in 
any  other  section  of  the  country  and 
except  in  rare  cases  are  not  yet  worry- 
ing over  the  fuel  situation.  The  possi- 
bility that  stock  now  held  may  be  seized 


The    Florist   Demands 
Many  Years  of  Service 

McCray  Refrigerators  are  used  by  many, 
many  florists— and  the  reason  is  that  the 
McCray  gives  years  and  years  of  service. 
"Life-time  service"  is  the  McCray  watchword. 

McCray  Refrigerators  stand  the  test  of  time  because  they  have 
true  quality  inbuilt  in  them.  True  quality  is  more  than  con- 
venience and  design  —  it  is  these  plus  materials,  construction  and 
workmanship.

Florist  Refrigerators 


satisfy  from  the  standpoints  of  flower  conservation  and  display  of 
goods.  Bear  in  mind  that  the  handsome  appearance  of  the  McCray 
will  add  to  the  attractiveness  of  your  store.  The  McCray  is  a  fine 
display  case  as  well  as  a  refrigerator.  It  will  help  sell  your  flowers 
as  well  as  stop  the  waste  from  spoilage,

oy  the  fuel  administrator  is  being  dis- 
cussed. This  might  prove  serious.  Shut- 
downs of  factories,  etc.,  are  now  of 
daily  occurrence,  as  coal  intended  for 
New  England  is  being  diverted  to  more 
needy  sections. 

A.  E.  Kunderd,  the  gladiolus  special- 
ist of  Goshen,  Ind.,  was  a  cairer  last 
week.  He  visited  some  of  the  gladiolus 
growers,  although  he  has  no  surplus  for 
fiale  this  season,  and  also  spent  some 
time  at  the  Arnold  Arboretum. 

The  New  England  Nurserymen's  Asso- 
eiation  will  hold  its  annual  convention 
in  Boston  January  27  and  28.  This  is 
one  of  the  most  active  and  progressive 
bodies  of  men  we  have  in  New  England, 
and  their  meetings  are  always  full  of 
interest  from  start  to  finish. 

Among  those  sending  in  sweet  peas  of 
fine  quality  at  present  are  R.  P.  Peter- 
son, Saxonville;  Anderson  Bros.,  Wo- 
burn;  E.  S.  Cummings,  Woburn;  J.  A. 
Nelson,  Framingham,  and  Andrew  G. 
Mitchell,  North  Sudbury. 

The  Waban  Rose  Conservatories, 
which  for  some  time  disposed  of  much 
of  its  output  of  roses  at  retail  at  the 
Shepard  stores,  Boston,  has  dropped  this 
department  and  will  hereafter  stick  to 
the  wholesale  field. 

A  young  lady  walked  into  Penn's  one 
day  last  week  and  said  that  she  wanted 
to  announce  her  engagement  and  wished 
to  "Say  It  with  Flowers."  She  finally 
decided  on  bunches  of  pansies  to  go  to 
her  friends  and  baskets  to  her  imme- 
diate relatives.  This  is  a  pleasing  inno- 
vation and  one  which  we  hope  many  will 
copy. 

A  strong  effort  is  being  made  to  con- 
tinue daylight  saving  for  Massachusetts 
in  1920.  The  Boston  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce is  leading  the  movement  and  has 
called  a  conference  of  numerous  or- 
ganizations to  meet  December  11.  I  feel 
certain  an  overwhelming  proportion  of 
our  population  would  favor  a  con- 
tinuance of  daylight  saving,  if  train  and 
other  schedules  can  be  made  to  suit 
workers,  milk  deliveries,  etc. 

'J'he  meeting  of  the  Gardeners'  and 
Florists'  Club  for  election  of  oflScers 
comes  December  16.  The  principal  con- 
test is  for  executive  committee,  there  be- 
ing eleven  candidates  for  five  positions. 
There  will  be  a  talk  on  crude  oil  for 
heating,  also  short  talks  by  several  mem- 
bers on  annuals  for  forcing.  There  will 
be  exhibits  of  Christmas  plants  and  the 
coming  midwinter  flower  show  and  ban- 
quet will  also  be  discussed.  A  large  at- 
tendance is  looked  for. 

A  series  of  union  meetings  of  various 
horticultural  and  agricultural  bodies  in 
Massachusetts  is  being  arranged  for  the 
week  of  January  19,  1920,  in  Horticul- 
tural hall.  The  meetings  drew  such 
large  attendances  last  year  and  the  ex- 
hibits were  so  numerous  and  attractive 
that  it  has  been  determined  to  liave  a 
yearly  get-together.  The  Gardeners' 
and  Florists'  Club  and  the  Massachu- 
setts Nurserymen's  Association  are 
among  the  cooperating  societies. 

R.  &  J.  Farquhar  &  Co.  have  a  fine 
lot  of  Christmas  plants  in  their  Dedham 
greenhouses.  Cyclamens  are  extra  good; 
flo  are  begonias  in  variety,  primulas, 
heliotropes,  geraniums,  solanums,  ar- 
disias  and  other  seasonable  stock.  They 
have  a  large  amount  of  landscape  orders 
on  hand  and  spring  prospects  are  bright. 

Frank  Edgar  had  a  superb  house  of 
cyclamens  this  season.  He  originally 
had  8,000  plants,  and  he  reports  these 
as  nearly  all  sold,  a  good  many  going 
to  New  York.  W.  N.  C.

was  a  week  ago,  a  chance  of  the  strike 
being  setted  in  the  near  future  and  the 
sun  shining  brightly  for  the  first  time  in 
seven  or  eight  days,  everybody  is  feel- 
ing better.  The  spirit  of  cooperation 
shown  by  everyone  in  the  trade  and  by 
business  men  generally  and  the  opti- 
mism that  has  prevailed  through  a  try- 
ing week  have  been  admirable.  There 
has  not  been  a  complaint  heard  on  any 
side  regarding  the  restrictions  placed 
by  the  fuel  administration  or  for  any 
other  cause  and,  while  all  Christmas 
work  has  been  put  back,  there  is  not 
one  in  the  business  but  feels  that  every- 
thing is  coming  out  all  right  and  that 
the  holidays  will  bring  orders  enough  to 
make  up  for  all  that  has  been  lost  in 
the  past. 

There  has  been  so  much  cloudy  weath- 
er in  the  last  ten  days  that  stock  has 
been  retarded,  which  has  not  been  a 
bad  thing  with  the  quiet  business 
brought  about  by  strike  conditions. 
Roses  are  from  $8  to  $20,  carnations  $6, 
sweet  peas  $1.50  and  narcissi  $5  per

Various  Notes. 

Ed  A.  Humfeld  had  been  so  busy 
trying  to  get  his  new  retail  store  and 
greenhouses  finished  before  cold  weather 
set  in  that  he  had  not  time  to  get  in  a 
great  supply  of  c^al  and,  finding  him- 
self rather  short  when  the  crisis  arose.

well  equipped  department  to  handle  this

Club  Meeting. 

The  regular  meeting  of  the  Pitts-

was  held  in  the  basement  of  the  Carne- 
gie library,  north  side,  Tuesday  evening, 
December  2,  and  there  was  a  good  at- 
tendance. The  Wm.  F.  Kasting  Co.,  of 
BuflFalo,  N.  Y.,  exhibited  a  vase  of 
Chrysanthemum  Hamburg  Late  Pink, 
which  was  highly  commended  by  all  the 
mum  growers  present  for  its  lateness, 
color,  form  and  sturdy  habit;  from  re- 
marks heard  one  could  gather  the  fact 
that  this  variety  will  be  seen  in  the 
houses  of  our  Pittsburgh  growers  next 
year.  William  Malbranc,  of  Johnstown, 
Pa.,  showed  a  vase  of  specially  good 
Mrs.  Charles  Russell  roses  and  some 
large,  well  grown  Genista  canariensis  in 
pots.  Roderick  Ross,  of  Dixmont,  by  re- 
quest brought  in  a  long  flower  spike  of 
Aloe  arborescens,  together  with  a  small

num.  Capsicastrum  var.  Cleveland,  ex- 
cepting the  color  of  the  berry.  John 
W.  Jones  intends  to  propagate  from  the 
best  of  these.  A  large  print,  three  and  a 
half  inches  in  diameter,  of  the  Japan- 
ese persimmon,  Diospyros  Kaki  var. 
Hyakume,  grown  outdoors  in  Tennessee, 
was  shown  by  John  W.  Jones;  the  presi- 
dent then  became  reminiscent  of  Aus- 
tralian days  in  the  early  eighties,  when 
this  fruit  was  first  introduced  from 
Japan  by  Geo.  Brunning  &  Son,  Brigh- 
ton road,  St.  Kilda,  Melbourne,  Vic- 
toria. E.  M. 


Retailers  Besume  Meetings. 

The  first  regular  meeting  of  the  Ee- 
tail  Florists'  Association  of  the  Pitts- 
burgh district  was  held  Thursday  eve- 
ning, December  4,  with  a  get-together 
dinner  at  the  Seventh  Avenue  hotel  in- 
stead of  the  customary  luncheon  of  pre- 
war times. 

This  session  also  marked  the  resump- 
tion of  the  meetings  which  were  dropped 
during  the  war  on  account  of  so  many 
other  interests  and  was  characterized 
by  a  more  representative  attendance  of 
western  Pennsylvania  florists  than  any 
meeting  before  the  war.  Because  of  the 
approaching  holidays,  no  scheduled  pro- 
gram had  been  arranged,  the  evening 
being  devoted  to  general  discussion  and 
plans  for  the  coming  year's  work.  The 
old  officers — Ira  C.  Harper,  president; 
Gilbert  P.  Weaklen,  vice-president,  and 
Orville  Christman,  secretary — have 
been  retained  in  order  to  spur  on  in- 
terest and  enthusiasm. 

Various  Notes. 

Louis  B.  West,  who  was  seriously  in- 
jured some  eighteen  months  ago  in  an 
elevator  accident  in  the  Farmers'  Bank 
building,  now  is  giving  every  evidence 
of  great  improvement  and  is  expecting 
soon  to  be  again  at  his  old  post  of  busi- 
ness in  the  salesroom  of  the  A.  W. 
Smith  Co. 

The  Diamond  Flower  Shop,  adjoining 
the  Harris  theater,  on  Diamond  street, 
which  came  into  being  about  six  months 
ago,  has  more  than  justified  the  ex- 
pectations of  its  proprietors,  who  have 
recently  enlarged  and  improved  the 
quarters  in  anticipation  of  additional 
business  during  the  coming  year. 

Louis  M.  Minsky,  manager  of  the 
erstwhile  Grand  Flower  Shop  in  the 
corridor  of  the  Grand  Arcade,  has  gone 
into  another  line  of  business. 

Mrs.  Thomas  J.  Cavanaugh,  of  J.  M. 
Johnston's  Braddock  store,  is  not  con- 
valescing so  rapidly  as  had  been  hoped 
for  and  will  probably  remain  in  Florida 
until  spring  instead  of  returning  home 
for  the  holidays  as  she  had  expected. 
Mrs.  Cavanaugh  is  still  at  Bradentown, 
where   she   went  in   the   early  autumn.

connection  with  the  Alpha  Floral  Co.,  on 
Penn  avenue,  East  Liberty — one  of  the 
Kronis  brothers'  enterprises — and  has 
returned  to  his  home  in  New  York  city. 
Mr.  Kleinberg  came  to  Pittsburgh  some 
time  before  the  war  and  returned  last 
summer  following  his  extended  over- 
seas experience. 

Last  week  Mrs.  E.  A.  Williams  had 
elaborate  decorations  for  the  McKnight 
and  Christy  balls  at  the  Pittsburgh  Club 
and  the  Lyon  tea  at  the  family  home  on 
Eidge  avenue,  north  side.  Mrs.  Williams 
furnished  orchid  and  American  Beauty 
designs  for  the  funeral  of  H.  C.  Frick, 
on  the  order  of  the  family  and  of  corpo- 
rations with  which  Mr.  Frick  had  been 
associated. 

The  McCallum  Co.  has  eliminated  all 
Christmas  greens  from  its  stockroom  this 
year.  Earl  Tipton,  head  of  the  cut 
flower  department,  left  Saturday  night, 
December  6,  for  a  three  or  four  days' 
business  trip  to  Philadelphia. 

The  Pittsburgh  Florists '  Supply  Co.  is 
handling  some  exceptionally  fine  roses  in 
variety,  the  products  of  out-of-town 
consignors.  Manager  Carney  left  Sun- 
day morning,  December  7,  for  a  business 
trip  through  Ohio,  expecting  to  be  away 
the  greater  part  of  the  week.  Michael 
Frank  Stafford  has  discontinued  his 
flower  shop  on  Smithfield  street  and  has 
associated  his  interests  with  the  whole- 
sale firm. 

G.  P.  Weaklen  &  Co.  furnished  a 
hsiiidsome  wreath  of  200  cattleyas, 
wltich  was  the  tribute  of  the  Frick 
faitiily  and  the  only  floral  piece  appear- 
in||  on  the  casket  of  Henry  Clay  Frick, 
t^  coke  and  steel  magnate,  during  the 
fi&eral  services  Friday,  December  5,  at 
hi^*  Pittsburgh  home,  Clayton,  on  Penn 
autJ^  Homewood  avenues.  Mr.  Weaklen 
a4i|i8t«d  Superintendent  David  Eraser, 
of  Clayton,  in  the  arrangement  and 
disposal  of  the  flowers  received  for  the 
occasion  and  was  one  of  the  few  Pitts- 
burghers  who  viewed  the  remains. 

E.  E.  S. 


Eandolph  &  McClements,  feeling  the 
need  of  a  downtown  store,  are  reported 
to  have  leased,  for  occupancy  next 
spring,  the  Gregg  building,  on  Wood 
street  opposite  McCreery's  store,  for  a 
term  of  years.

The  Market. 


Business  generally  has  been  good. 
There  has  not  been  a  superabundance  of 
anything,  but  rather  a  general  cleaning 
up  each  day.  Little  anxiety  is  felt 
among  the  growers  because  of  the  coal 
strike,  as  most  of  them  have  a  fair  sup- 
ply on  hand  to  last  them  several  weeks. 
Some  handicap  is  feared,  however,  from 
the  threatening  curtailment  of  train 
service,  especially  as  the  shipments  of 
potted  stock  for  the  Christmas  holidays 
will  begin  to  put  in  an  appearance  in 
about  ten  days.  Providence,  for  the  first 
time  in  several  years,  will  have  to  de- 
pend almost  entirely  on  outside  growers 
for  potted  plants  for  the  holidays 
this  year.  But,  as  the  dealers  have  got 
their  orders  all  placed,  there  seems  to  be 
no  cause  for  alarm. 

Last  week  carnations  were  quoted  at 
$6  to  $8  per  hundred,  with  fancy  ones 
bringing  $10  per  hundred.  Paper  Whites 
moved  easily  at  $4  to  $6;  sweet  peas  at 
$2  and  mignonette  at  $4,  $6  and  $8  per 
hundred.  Boses  were  in  demand  at  all 
the  way  from  $6  to  $i6  per  hundred,

Charles  Monro,  55  Broad  street,  West-

The  Budlong  Rose  Co.,  Auburn,  is  cut-

Boston  market. 

William  E.  Chappell  had  the  decora- 
tions for  two  large  Masonic  affairs  re-

The  Market. 

Business  was  good  last  week  and 
Christmas  orders  now  are  coming  in  fast. 
The  supply  of  California  violets  has 
shown  a  good  increase,  but  the  demand  is 
greater  than  the  supply.  With  Christmas 
coming  on,  there  is  much  artificial  stock 
to  be  seen  on  the  market  and  all  of  the 
florists  are  getting  in  supplies  to  meet 
the  demands  of  their  customers.  Sweet 
peas  are  a  little  more  plentiful  and  the 
supply  of  Paper  Whites  has  been  good. 
There  has  been  a  large  demand  for  car- 
nations, which  are  bringing  $8  per  hun- 
dred. The  plant  trade  has  been  satisfac- 
tory. There  is  a  fine  supply  of  ferns, 
cyclamens  and  other  miscellaneous 
plants.  The  supply  of  plumosus  has  in- 
creased. 

The  Flower  Dance. 

At  the  dinner  party  which  was  held  by 
the  local  florists  October  27,  one  of  the 
speakers  called  attention  to  the  fact  that 
it  would  be  helpful  in  many  ways  if  the 
members  of  the  trade  could  be  brought 
together  more  often  on  similar  occasions. 
Arthur  Shaffer  and  Gl«orge  N.  Prokos, 
being  energetic  and  deeply  interested  in 
the  welfare  of  their  fellow  members  of 
the  trade  as  well  as  the  business  in  gen- 
eral, decided  to  take  the  matter  up  and 
hold  a  daace,  which  they  named  the 
Flower  Dance.     They  worked  hard  to

carry  out  their  plan  and  got  as  many 
friends  as  possible  to  attend  the  dance, 
which  was  held  Wednesday  evening, 
December  3.  The  dance  was  a  remark- 
able success  and  they  both  feel  well 
paid  for  their  time  and  hard  work.  The 
hall  was  highly  decorated  and  every  per- 
son who  attended  the  dance  wore  a 
flower.  They  engaged  one  of  the  finest 
bands  in  the  city  and,  as  Mr.  Prokos 
puts  it,  "the  music  just  made  the  people 
dance."  Mr.  Shaffer  was  in  charge  of 
the  refreshments  and  Mr.  Prokos  was 
director  of  the  dancing. 

Mr.  Prokos  was  a  dancing  master  for 
eight  years  in  Washington  and  Atlantic 
City  and  won  prizes  on  many  occasions. 
It  was  through  his  originality  in  dancing 
that  he  met  his  present  wife.  When  the 
war  started,  he  gave  up  dancing  for  more 
essential  work;  later  he  was  employed  by 
Z.  D.  Blackistone  and  he  is  now  manager 
of  Mr.  Blackistone 's  store. 

Various  Notes. 

Z.  D.  Blackistone  had  an  attractive 
window  display  for  Thanksgiving.  It 
consisted  of  a  table  spread  with  a  fine 
Thanksgiving  dinner,  which  included 
glasses  containing  several  varieties  of 
fine  wine.  There  was  an  unusually  large 
crowd  of  spectators  on  hand  and  they 
all  left  with  a  smile  on  their  faces, 
thinking  of  the  good  old  times.  Many 
people  took  special  pains  to  go  in  and 
ask,  "Is  it  real?" 

Fred  Leapley  is  taking  timely  steps  to

and  a  grill,  renewed  old  acquaintances 
in  the  market  this  week. 

Frank  X.  Gorly,  of  Grimm  &  Gorly,  St. 
Louis,  was  in  the  market  December  8, 
looking  over  the  prospects  for  good  stock 
for   Christmas. 

Swan  Peterson,  of  Decatur  and  Gib- 
son City,  was  here  December  8  on  one 
of  his  frequent  visits. 

William  T.  Usinger,  of  the  McCallum 
Co.,  spent  a  couple  of  days  in  Chicago 
this  week  on  his  way  home  to  Pitts- 
burgh after  a  trip  in  the  northwest. 

Among  the  weeks'  visitors  have  been 
V.  J.  Davis  and  W.  J.  Bailey,  of  the 
Greenwood  Floral  Co.,  Fort  Worth,  Tex. 
This  is  a  concern  of  recent  organization. 
Started  last  year,  it  has  three  Lord  & 
Burnham  houses  41  x  150.  Material  has 
been  ordered  and  partly  shipped  for  an- 
other Lord  &  Burnham  house  80  x  300, 
the  erection  of  which  will  begin  early 
in  the  new  year.  Business  has  started 
so  well  that  rapid  expansion  of  the  fa- 
cilities for  taking  care  of  it  seems  neces- 
sary. 

Warren  G.  Matthews,  of  Dayton,  O., 
spent  December  5  in  the  market.  He 
was  buying  for  Christmas,  but  said  he 
was  moving  cautiously  because  of  the 
uncertainties- resulting  from  the  fuel  sit- 
uation. 

Mr.  Heffron,  of  the  Heights  Flower 
Shop,  Cleveland  Heights,  O.,  was  here 
last  week.  He  buys  only  first  quality 
merchandise.

Olympia,  Wash. — S.  E.  Sanford  has 
leased  the  Capital  City  Greenhouses 
from  Conrad  Klam.  and  is  now  manager 
of  them. 

Capltola,  CaL — James  A.  Brown,  man- 
ager of  the  Brown  Bulb  Banch,  recently 
has  returned  from  one  of  his  semian- 
nual business  trips  to  the  Atlantic  coast. 
He  was  absent  about  seven  weeks  and 
was  accompanied  by  Mrs.  Brown.  His 
father,  who  has  been  president  of  a 
bank  in  Indiana  for  many  years,  is  clos- 
ing up  his  business  there  with  the  pur- 
pose of  coming  to  Capitola  to  take 
charge  of  the  office  of  the  bulb  ranch. 


LOS  ANGELES,  CAL. 


The  Market. 

The  weather  has  been  bright  but  cold 
during  the  week  just  past,  making  it 
pleasant  but  not  conducive  to  rapid 
growth;  consequently,  stock  of  all  kinds 
is  constantly  getting  shorter  in  supply. 
Carnations  are  about  the  best  thing  on 
the  market,  but  the  growers  are  holding 
the  stock  so  high  that  they  check  busi- 
ness, especially  in  out-of-town  ship- 
ments. Indoor-grown  carnations  are 
higher  in  price  than  they  have  been  for 
a  long  time  and  the  demand  is  fair. 
Boses  are  still  scarce,  but  those  coming 
from  inside  are  of  good  quality.  Beau- 
ties are  scarce  and  high.  Mums  are 
about  over.  Wholesalers  say  that  their 
advance  orders  for  the  coming  holidays 
are  much  heavier  than  usual  and  there 
is  no  doubt  that  scarcity  and  high  prices 
will  prevail.  Growers  are  still  holding 
back  in  their  plumosus  with  a  view  to 
higher  prices  later,  but  this  will  prob- 
ably have  the  effect  of  lessening  the 
demand  considerably.  Plants  are  scarce 
and  likely  to  be  higher  in  price. 

Various  Notes. 

Roy  F.  "Wilcox  probably  did  not  suffer 
from  indigestion  after  his  Thanksgiving 
dinner.  At  any  rate  he  had  plenty  of 
exercise.  There  was  every  indication 
of  a  sharp  frost  in  the  afternoon,  so 
Mr.  Wilcox  got  busy  with  a  staff  of  men 
and  smudge  pots  to  keep  the  air  warm 
in  the  big  lath  house  at  Montebello.  It 
must  have  meant  a  big  outlay,  but  it 
had  the  desired  effect  and  the  report 
was  that  absolutely  no  damage  was 
done  to  the  firm's  stock  of  kentias  and 
other  valuable  plants.  Another  instance 
of  the  value  of  eternal  vigilance. 

E.  H.  Daschbach,  coast  representative 
of  the  A,  L.  Bandall  Co.,  of  Chicago,  has 
just  returned  to  his  headquarters  here 
after  a  successful  northern  trip. 

A  visit  at  the  establishment  of  Bas- 
sett  &  Washburn,  af  Sierra  Madre, 
shows  great  strides  being  made.  The 
propagating  houses  are  working  full 
blast  and  the  small  seedlings  are  com- 
ing up  apparently  by  the  million.  As 
far  as  could  be  seen,  not  a  leaf  of  any 
of  the  kentias  of  any  size  had  been  in- 
jured in  the  recent  cold  snap  and  every- 
thing about  the  place  speaks  of  progress. 

W.  Armacost  has  been  on  the  sick  list 
for  a  few  days. 

Arthur  Gleave,  of  Gleave's  Flower 
Shop,  Santa  Barbara,  has  been  in  town 
for    a    few    days,    looking    up    holiday 


stock,  and  he  intends  going  from  here 
to  San  Francisco  with  the  same  end  in 
view.  Mr.  Gleave  said  his  Thanksgiv- 
ing trade  was  a  winner  this  year. 

Alois  Frey  is  building  a  residence  on 
his  San  Fernando  property.  He  has  sev- 
eral acres  of  freesias  promising  well, 
the  growth  being  about  six  inches  high 
now. 

E.  Amling,  of  Chicago,  is  looking 
about  for  suitable  land  in  this  section 
with  a  view  to  a  large  growing  plant. 
Several  relatives  of  his  are  here  or  are 
coming  to  get  acquainted  with  the  hang 
of  things  before  making  the  start.  There 
is  always  room  here  for  good  people. 

A  rather  hurried  look  around  the 
Wright's  Flower  Shop  greenhouses,  at 
Moneta,  shows  everything  in  finest 
order.  With  the  recent  additions,  about 
50,000  rose  plants  are  grown  in  all  the 
popular  kinds  and  a  healthier  lot  of 
stock  would  be  difficult  to  find.  Mr. 
Wright's  plan  with  roses  is  to  have  a 
continuous  cut  of  medium-length  flowers 
the  year  around  rather   than  to  pinch 


for  extra  long  stems  around  the  holi- 
days, the  store^  of  course,  having  to  be 
taken  care  of  at  all  times.  Some  benches 
are  pinched  for  extra  long  flowers,  these 
consisting  of  Premier,  Columbia  and 
Ophelia  principally,  and  the  flowers  and 
foliage  superb.  Bunches  of  the  pretty 
little  Mrs.  Aaron  Ward  are  attractive, 
the  flowers  l>eing  much  in  demand  for 
corsage  work.  The  Beauty  section  is 
also  flne.  About  2,000  plants  of  cat- 
tleyas  in  all  the  popular  kinds  are  grown, 
the  Trianses  bristling  with  flower  buds 
now.  A  number  of  these  plants  were 
purchased  at  Pasadena  and  many  extra 
fine  types  are  included.  The  phaleenop- 
sis  plants  here  are  surely  a  marvel  of 
good  culture.  P.  Schilleriana  is  grown 
in  large  cork  baskets  and  cork  blocks 
and  the  long  slate-colored  roots  have 
simply  covered  these.  The  foliage  is 
excellent — long  hard  leaves  of  great  sub- 
stance and  a  forest  of  strong  flower 
spikes.  Yet  Mr.  Wright  says  no  par- 
ticular care  is  given  them  and  it  seems 
to  be  just  a  case  where  the  right  invest-

ment  and  a  suitable  house  have  led  to 
such  fine  results.  A  large  number  of 
cyclamens  are  grown  strictly  for  cut- 
ting, but  besides  these  there  are  several 
thousand  fine  specimens  in  all  sizes  from 
small  stock  for  working  up  in  baskets 
to  large  finished  specimens  and  every 
plant  shows  the  same  high  culture. 
There  are  also  about  1,000  azaleas  that 
will  be  ready  for  the  Christmas  and 
New  Year's  business.  A  house  of  gar- 
denias is  a  little  late,  but  is  making 
splendid  progress,  the  plants  being 
benched  in  soil  to  which  a  liberal  addi- 
tion of  humus  has  been  made.  Evident- 
ly this  material  is  right  for  gardenias 
and  also  for  ferns,  since  the  house  of 
various  adiantums  is  looking  fine,  es- 
pecially Glory  of  Mordrecht,  or  glorio- 
sum,  as  it  is  misnamed  locally.  The 
fronds  on  these  plants  are  as  good  as 
those  of  well  grown  Farleyense.  The 
whole  place,  in  short,  is  in  perfect  order 
and  it  is  a  pleasure  to  visit  it. 

The  Redondo  Floral  Co.  store  is  a 
busy  place  these  days.  Funeral  work, 
especially,  keeps  the  whole  staff  on  the 
jump. 

Still  more  novelties  are  arriving  at 
Darling's  Flower  Shop  and  there  is  a 
wonderful  display.  Some  of  the  Italian 
glassware  is  strikingly  beautiful  and  al- 
together it  is  an  exhibit  worthy  of  the 
highest  praise.  It  looks  as  though, 
with  the  scarcity  of  plants,  there  will 
be  a  big  demand  for  these  art  objects 
and  Mr.  Darling  will  surely  be  prepared. 
Some  excellent  azaleas  are  also  being 
shown  this  week. 

Large  orders  for  wild  cherry  and 
desert  holly  wreaths  are  being  sent  out 
from  the  L.  A.  Floral  Co. 

The  City  Nurseries,  of  Eedlands,  have 
a  fine  stock  of  cyclamens  again  this 
year  and  Mr.  Collett  reports  a  brisk  de- 
mand for  the  plants.

The  Market. 


A  slight  lull  was  noticeable  in  both 
wholesale  and  retail  business  immediate- 
ly after  Thanksgiving,  but  December  1 
found  business  again  coming  up  to  the 
high  mark  which  has  characterized  it 
during  the  greater  part  of  1919.  The 
holiday  just  past  was  the  occasion  for 
a  great  number  of  social  affairs,  prac- 
tically all  large  dinners,  providing  a 
goodly  amount  of  work  for  local  decora- 
tors. 

Of  the  cut  flowers,  roses  are  now  tak- 
ing the  lead  in  both  quality  and  quan- 
tity. Some  fine  cuts  are  in  the  mar- 
ket and  continue  to  bring  exceptionally 
good  prices.  Russell,  Ophelia,  Columbia 
and  one  or  two  of  the  red  varieties  are 
the  popular  sellers  and  are  in  demand 
for  shipping,  due  to  their  present  firm 
condition. 

A  recent  wind  storm,  general  over  the 
state,  did  considerable  damage  to  the 
chrysanthemum  stock  on  the  peninsula. 
The  growers  located  in  protected  spots 
were  fortunate,  for  the  blooms  growing 
out  in  the  open  were  badly  whipped  by- 
the  gale,  which  reached  a  velocity  of 
over  fifty  miles  an  hour  in  many  places. 
It  was  estimated  that  at  least  twenty- 
five  per  cent  of  the  crop  was  lost.  In 
spite  of  this  prank  played  by  the 
weather,  mums  are  enjoying  an  unusual- 
ly long  run.  The  small  varieties  are  still 
plentiful  and  look  good,  while  there  is 
atill  a  fair  amount  of  the  larger  blooms 
to  be  had.     Long-distance  shipping  of

these  though,  has  practically  ceased,  and 
most  of  the  growers  are  devoting  par- 
ticular attention  to  roses  and  violets  for 
the  shippers.  During  the  storm,  a  great 
many  of  the  violet  plants  were  burned 
by  the  wind  and  the  blossoms  shriveled, 
but  the  rain  which  occurred  a  few  days 


afterward  was  of  such  benefit  to  the 
fields  that  the  damage  will  be  fairly  well 
offset. 

Shipments  of  poinsettias  from  the 
south  continue  to  arrive,  the  quality 
improving  steadily.  Few  of  the  potted 
blooms  have  been  seen  as  yet,  however.

OUR  SHIPPERS  HAVE  HAD  20  YEARS' 
EXPERIENCE 


NURSERYi 
San  Lorenzo,  Calif. 


A  few  of  the  early  spring  flowers, 
freesias  and  narcissi,  made  their  first 
showing  last  week  and  especially  nota- 
ble is  the  first  cut  of  daffodils,  which 
were  brought  in  by  a  San  Francisco 
grower.  He  quickly  disposed  of  the  ten 
dozen  at  $1  per  dozen  and  retailers  are 
getting  from  $1.50  to  $2  for  a  dozen 
blooms.  The  bulbs  from  this  early  crop 
are  from  the  Kooyman  stock  and  both 
Mr.  Kooyman  and  the  grower  are  well 
pleased  with  the  success  of  the  early 
planting. 

Greens  of  all  varieties,  red  berries, 
redwood  branches  and  other  Christmas 
decorating  material  are  arriving  in 
larger  and  larger  quantities  at  the  local 
market.  In  addition  to  the  uncultivated 
stock,  which  is  secured  in  the  surround- 
ing foothill  country,  shipments  of  Eng- 
lish holly  are  coming  in  from  the  north, 
as  well  as  autumn  leaves. 

Potted  plants  are  getting  in  good 
shape  for  the  holidays.  Azaleas,  cycla- 
mens and  begonias  were  seen  in  fairly 
large  quantity  last  week,  but  the  quality 
of  most  of  the  stock  can  stand  improve- 
ment. 

It  is  thought  by  a  number  of  the  flo- 
rists that  potted  ferns,  palms  and  stock 
of  that  character  will  be  scarce  this 
season.  So  far  none  of  the  growers 
have  given  any  evidence  of  having  more 
than  enough  barely  to  tide  them  over — 
in  fact  a  number  of  them  have  advised 
the  retailer  to  pay  particular  attention 
to  his  orders  for  the  holidays.  All  are 
advocating  early  buying. 
Various  Notes. 

L.  Piccetti,  of  the  Chas.  C.  Navlet  Co., 
states  that  the  rain  of  last  week  will 
undoubtedly  stimulate  the  purchase  of 
rose  bushes  and  ornamental  shrubbery 
of  all  sorts.  A  particularly  dry  fall  has 
held  most  of  the  planting  back,  but  now 
the  ground  will  be  in  good  planting  con- 
dition. This  firm  has  a  good  supply  of 
rose  bushes  and  anticipates  cleaning  up 
nicely  on  the  stock  on  hand.  Mr.  Pic- 
cetti also  commented  on  the  number  of 
advance  orders  which  he  is  receiving, 
due  to  the  fear  of  shortage.  He  says 
that  this  season's  prices  have  made  no 
difference  so  far  in  the  amount  of  buy- 
ing. 

The  stock  of  potted  plants  which  E. 
James,  of  Elmhurst,  is  bringing  in  is 
excellent.  His  new  begonia  is  handled 
by  Pelicano,  Rossi  &  Co.  and,  according 
to  reports  from  that  firm,  the  variety  is 
growing  decidedly  popular. 

The  E.  W.  McLellan  Co.  is  busy  with 
rose  shipments.  The  Burlingame  nurs- 
eries are  cutting  excellent  blooms  and 
H.  Avansino  is  keeping  his  staff  busy 
with  this  work.  Russell  is  particularly 
fine,  with  Ophelia  running  a  close  sec- 
ond in  the  matter  of  popularity.

special  note  was  shown  at  Joseph's 
shop.  A  huge,  flaring,  gilt  basket  was 
filled  to  overflowing  with  seasonable 
fruits — brilliantly  colored  apples,  pome- 
granates, persimmons,  etc.  The  handle  of 
the  basket  was  entwined  with  small 
pompon  chrysanthemums  in  bronze  and 
gold  tones  and  gilded  grapes.  A  suit- 
able background  of  flowers  following  the 
general  color  scheme  provided  the  fin- 
ishing touch  to  the  whole. 

The  arrival  of  the  Imperial  Potentate 
of  the  Mystic  Shrine  from  Philadelphia 
was  the  occasion  for  much  festivity 
among  local  members,  who  left  nothing 
undone  to  entertain  the  distinguished 
guest.  The  decorations  for  one  of  the 
dinners  given  in  his  honor  at  the  Hotel 
St.  Francis  were  done  by  the  MacRorie- 
McLaren  Co.,  and  were  greatly  admired 
by  the  dinner  guests.  In  the  center  of 
a  huge,  U-shaped  table,  occupying  1,300 
square  feet  of  space,  was  the  Shrine  em- 
blem worked  out  in  colors.  The  arrange- 
ment of  ..the  emblem  was  suggestive  of 
a  sunken  garden,  for  it  nestled  in  a 
fragrant  forest  of  azalea  trees,  cyclamen 
plants,  palins,  etc.  The  star  was  red, 
the  crescent  white  and  the  keystone  red, 
white  and  blue,  while  a  California  Teddy 
bear,  dressed  to  represent  a  Shriner  of 
the  Golden  State,  stood  in  the  center  of 
the  mammoth  star,  holding  fast  to  the 
rope.  The  work  was  personally  superin- 
tended by  Manager  Fred  Bertrand,  who 
also  attended  the  dinner  in  the  capacity 
of  Shrine  member.

^e  Market. 


Thanksgiving  day  trade  left  most  of 
the  greenhouses  sold  out  of  many  vari- 
eties of  chrysanthemums,  but  still  there 
has  been  a  good  supply  of  Bonnaffon 
and  Turner.  Carnations  are  more  plen- 
tiful now  than  at  any  time  since  the 
crop  came  in.  The  demand  for  them  is 
not  brisk,  for  the  November  flower  is 
certainly  the  queen  of  the  market  at 
present.  The  supply  of  roses  is  in  keep- 
ing with  the  demand.  Ophelia  especially 
is  of  good  quality  and  continues  to  be 
the  favorite  with  the  public. 

Thanksgiving  business  for  all  the 
trade  was  better  than  ever  before.  Stock 
of  good  quality  was  offered  and  there 
was  an  unusual  demand  for  the  higher- 
priced  flowers.  Turner  took  the  lead 
and  a  great  many  more  could  have  been 
sold  had  they  been  in  the  stores.  Some 
fine  Yellow  Eaton  was  seen  and  brought 
as  good  a  price  as  Turner. 

Various  Notes. 

The  city  greenhouses,  at  Manito  park, 
are  one  bower  of  bloom  from  geraniums 
to  chrysanthemums.  In  winter  the 
greenhouses  are  always  full  of  blooms 
and  in  summer  the  sunken  gardens  are 
constantly  attractive.  Thousands  of 
tourists  spend  a  day  at  Manito  park, 
which  has  also  many  local  visitors.  It 
is  a  great  asset  to  the  trade,  as  it  makes 
more  people  want  to  buy  flowers  and 
grow  them. 

There  ii  a  notable  increase  in  the  de- 
mand for  corsage  bouquets.     The  war

The  builders  of  uncompleted  seed  cata- 
logues are  burning  the  midnight  oil. 

Belated  arrivals  indicate  that  there 
will  be  some  surplus  of  giganteums  to  go 
into  cold  storage. 

If  the  Yoten  Maru  had  remained  afloat, 
what  would  have  been  the  condition  of 
the  giganteum  bulb  market? 

The  fall  bulb  catalogue  of  the  J.  M. 
McCullough'B  Sons  Co.,  Cincinnati, 
reached  The  Review  December  9. 

Fred  Howlyn  Hunter,  of  the  Hunter 
Seed  Co.,  San  Francisco,  welcomed  the 
arrival  of  Fred  Hathaway  Hunter  at  his 
home  November  12. 

Southern  seedsmen  report  an  unusually 
early  awakening  of  the  demand,  proba- 
bly due  to  the  desire  to  get  early  vege- 
table crops  onto  the  high  northern  mar- 
kets. 

Several  of  the  seed  trade  from  New 
York  city  were  in  attendance  at  the  con- 
vention of  the  New  York  State  Canners' 
Association  at  Rochester  December  10 
and  11. 

W.  F.  Therkildson,  now  associated 
with  N.  W,  Ayer  &  Son,  after  years  as 
advertising  manager  for  W.  Atlee  Burpee 
Co.,  Philadelphia,  called  on  Chicago  seed 
trade  acquaintances  this  week. 

Consignments  of  seed  on  the  Maas- 
dyk  from  Rotterdam,  which  reached  New 
York  December  3,  were  152  bags  for 
Stumpp  &  Walter  Co.,  twenty-two  for 
Peter  Henderson  &  Co.  and  seven  for  H. 
F.  Darrow.  Nine  cases  of  bulbs  were  also 
on  the  boat. 

On  the  steamer  Jacques  Cartier,  which 
reached  New  York  from  Havre  Decem- 
ber 3,  were  4,150  bags  of  seed,  of  which 
200  bags  were  consigned  to  the  Crabb, 
Reynold,  Taylor  Co.,  150  to  the  Equitable 
Trust  Co.,  200  to  Lunham  &  Moore,  3,000 
to  the  American  Express  Co.  and  600  on 
order. 

The  Papendrecht  brothers,  formerly 
connected  with  the  bulb-growing  firm  of 
Van  Zonneveld  Bros.  &  Philippo,  of  Sas- 
senheim,  Holland,  have  gone  into  the 
bulb  business  on  their  own  account,  under 
the  name  of  Papendrecht  Bros.  G.  Pap- 
endrecht will  be  the  firm 's  American  rep- 
resentative, with  his  headquarters  at  59 
Adsit  street,  Hornell,  N.  Y. 


FIBST  VAIiLEY  PIPS  ARRIVE. 

The  first  lily  of  the  valley  pips  to 
reach  the  United  States  this  year  was  a 
shipment  of  eighty  cases  from  Rotter- 
dam, Holland,  on  the  steamer  Maasdyk, 
which  arrived  at  the  port  of  New  York 
December  3,  consigned  to  McHutchison 
ft  Co.,  New  York. 

Arrival  of  pips  from  Germany  will 
follow  shortly,  for  the  steamer  Abraham 
Lincoln,  which  left  Hamburg  November 
18  for  New  York,  carried  a  consignment 
of  eighty-eight  cases  for  H.  N.  Bruns, 
Chicago,  and  200  more  for  the  same 
consignee  followed  on  a  vessel  which 
sailed  November  28. 

Predictions  are  that  the  supply  of 
valley  pips  will  soon  be  back  at  the  pre- 
war level.     The  supply  from  Germany,

which  has  been  cut  off  for  four  years,  is 
again  available  and  in  addition  the 
stocks  which  Holland  and  Denmark  have 
been  offering  will  continue.  It  is  said 
that  German  growers  of  valley  have 
maintained  their  plantings  and  were 
aided  by  the  demand  for  these  flowers 
when  shipments  of  other  blooms  from 
Italy  and  southern  France  were  cut  off 
by  hostilities.  Florists  in  many  German 
cities  continued  to  do  business  all 
through  the  war  and  since  they  could 
no  longer  secure  flowers  from  the  Med- 
iterranean coast,  they  were  forced  to  fall 
back  on  native  production,  of  which 
valley,  of  course,  was  the  principal  item. 
Encouraged  by  this  demand,  the  grow- 
ers of  valley  pips,  it  is  said,  continued 
the  plantings  at  the  former  size.  How 
severely  they  have  been  affected  by  the 
war's  drainage  of  male  labor  from  the 
fields  is  not  stated.  However,  women 
were  largely  employed  in  the  production 
of  valley  pips  and  perhaps  were  able  to 
make  up  for  the  lack  of  men  when  the 
latter  went  to  the  front. 

In  addition  to  the  German-grown  val- 
ley will  be  also  supplies  this  season  from 
Denmark  and  Holland,  which  have  fur- 
nished what  pips  have  been  received  the 
last  two  seasons.  To  what  extent  these 
sources  of  supply  will  be  maintained  is 
not  certain,  but  they  will  contribute 
somewhat. 

The  price  of  valley  is  not  expected  to 
desdend  at  all  rapidly.  Pips  will  be  high- 
priced,  compared  to  before  the  war. 
German  growers  are  asking  for  cash  in 
advance,  to  avoid  losses  in  case  of  inter- 
national commercial  difficulties.  Some 
of  them  also  are  asking  payment  in  dol- 
lars instead  of  marks,  to  avoid  losses  in 
exchange.  Of  course,  those  exporters 
who  sell  for  marks  are  increasing  the 
price  in  German  coin  to  avoid  loss  in 
exchange. 

These  are  the  conditions  which  will 
affect  the  valley  supply  and  price.  What 
they  actually  will  be  depends  upon  the 
shipments  which  arrive  in  the  next  two 
months. 

BULBS  INSPECTED  AT  POSTS. 


Buling  Facilitates  Distribution. 

In  future  seasons  the  importations  of 
bulbs,  which  this  year  were  inspected 
by  state  authorities,  necessitating  the 
sending  out  of  many  notices  of  ship- 
ment by  bulb  importers  to  their  cus- 
tomers, will  be  held  for  inspection  at 
the  port  of  entry.  The  inspection  will 
there  be  made  by  authorized  representa- 
tives of  the  Department  of  Agriculture. 
After  approval  of  them,  the  bulbs  may

to  the  interior.  There  should  be  dis- 
tinct advantage  to  the  importers  in  this 
ruling. 

Statement  by  Board. 

The  statement  by  the  Federal  Horti- 
cultural Board  in  this  matter  reads: 

To  facilitate  the  entry  and  distribution  of  the 
importations  of  bullM  at  the  principal  ports 
throngh  which  such  material  enters  the  United 
States,  the  board  has  recently  ordered  that  when 
such  shipments  are  entered  at,  or  may  con- 
veniently pass  through,  any  of  the  ports  listed 
in  regulation  6  and  New  Orleans,  La.,  end 
Tacoma,  Wash.,  now  added  to  the  list,  all  the 
requirements  of  the  regulations  must  t>e  met  at 
such  ports.  This  order  applies  both  to  ship- 
ments of  bulbs  which  are  offered  for  final  entry 
at  such  listed  porta  and  to  shipments  which 
may  be  passed  through  these  iwrts  under  imme- 
diate transportation  order  in  bond  to  interior 
ports. 

At  the  ports  of  entry  enumerated,  inspection 
and  apm-oval  for  entry  of  bulbs  by  inspectors 
of  the  Department  of  Agriculture  has  been  au- 
thorized by  the  several  states  as  meeting  the 
conditions  of  notification  and  inspection  of  ship- 
ments provided  for  in  regulation  11  under 
Quarantine  No.  37,  and  this  carries  with  it  regu- 
lation 12  as  to  marking  of  Interstate  shipments 
prior  to  inspection.  After  such  inspection  and 
liberation  of  bulbs  by  an  insi>ector  of  this  de- 
partment, such  bulbs  may  be  8hlpi>ed  by  the 
importer  or  his  agent  without  further  restric- 
tions tmder  Quarantine  No.  37. 

This  action  with  respect  to  bulbs  at  these 
listed  ports  has  been  taken  because  it  is  im- 
practicable In  many,  if  not  most,  instances  for 
state  inspectors  to  follow  up  the  hundreds  of 
lots  into  which  a  large  shipment  of  bulbs  is 
often  broken  before  the  elements  of  the  ship- 
ment reach  final  destination,  and  should  i>rove 
to  be  of  distinct  advantage  to  Importers,  inas- 
much as  it  will  eliminate  the  necessity  for 
hundreds  of  notices  of  shipment,  and  often  of 
reshipment,  of  such  bulbs,  before  the  bnlbs 
reach  ultimate  destination,  or  are  inspected  and 
passed  by  a  proper  official  of  a  state,  terri- 
tory or  district  of  the  United  States. 

This  order  applies  to  the  importation  of  bolbs 
only.  As  noted  above,  all  other  nursery  stock, 
plants  and  seeds  imported  under  regulation  3 
must  meet  the  conditions  of  regulations  11  and 
12,  as  must  also  all  bulb  shipments  for  which 
permits  have  been  issued  for  other  exterior 
ports  of  entry  or  which  must  pass  through  such 
ports    to  InterlOT  i>orts  of   entry. 

With  respect  to  the  entry  of  bnlba  at  the 
listed  ports,  the  board,  under  date  of  Septem- 
ber 20,  issued  substantially  the  following  In- 
stmctlons  to  its  inspectors  at  these  ports: 

"Hereafter  the  inspectors  of  the  board  at 
the  ports  of  Boston,  New  York,  New  Orleans, 
San  Francisco  and  Seattle,  together  with  the 
collectors  of  customs  at  such  ports,  will  be 
provided  with  copies  of  permits  Issued  for  the 
entry  of  bulbs.  The  notices  of  arrival  called 
for  in  regulation  10  must  be  submitted  by  the 
permittee  to  such  inspectors  In  accordance  with 
the  general  provisions  of  that  regulation. 

"All  bulb  permits  will  be  stamped  'Must  be 
held  for  Inspection  at  port  of  arrival.'  The 
permittee  will  be  required  to  keep  the  importa- 
tion together  on  the  dock  until  it  has  been  re- 
leased by  the  inspector  of  the  board.  The  in- 
spector of  the  board  will  examine  the  ship- 
ment at  his  earliest  convenience  for  the  pur- 
pose of  determining  its  agreement  with  the  per-

ORDER  YOUR 
ASTER  SEED  NOW 


Hart  &  Vick 


Rochester  N,  Y. 


Six  Reasons  for  Ordering  Early 

1— At  the  time  we  have  a  good  stock  of  new  seed  in 
the  varieties  and  colors  we  list  here. 

2— From  general  Aster  crop  reports  we  believe  there 
will  be  a  shortage  of  new  seed. 

3— At  this  season  of  the  year,  before  our  spring  rush 
begins,  we  can  give  every  order  prompt  and  per- 
sonal attention. 

4— Have  your  new  Aster  seed  on  hand,  ready  to  use 
when  you  want  it. 

5— Early  in  the  season  every  item  on  your  order  can 
be  sent  to  you.  Later  some  varieties  may  be  gone. 

6— Our  aim  is  to  give  you  complete  satisfaction.  Or- 
dering early  will  make  this  possible. 


Our  Aster  Seed  is  new.  It  is  from  healthy,  1919  stock,  ab- 
solutely free  from  stem  rot  and  other  diseases.  Florists  may 
be  confident  of  uniformly  good  results  in  buying  Aster  Seed 
passed  on  by  Mr.  Charles  H.  Vick,  who  introduced  the  first 
Large  Flowered  American  Aster,  Vick's  Late  Branching.

UBQES  CANNEBS'  SEED  TBIALS. 

Speaking  on  the  "Seed  Pea  Situa- 
tion" at  a  recent  trade  convention,  A. 
A.  Lau,  of  Hartford,  Wis.,  urged  the 
necessity  of  trials  of  seed  stocks  to  ef- 
fect further  improvements  in  those  used 
by  the  canners  of  the  country.  On  this 
subject  he  said: 

"While  great  quantities  of  the  peo- 
ple's money  have  been  spent  (and  right- 
ly so)  in  the  development  of  field  corn, 
wheat,  oats  and  livestock,  and  innumer- 
able bulletins  have  been  published  and 
farmers'  institutes  conducted  to  advise 
the  farmers  of  the  improved  methods 
thus  developed,  there  has  been  little 
along  the  line  of  development  of  the 
seed  stocks  required  by  the  canner  and 
which  are  employed  directly  in  the  pro- 
duction of  food  for  human  consumption. 
It  is  my  firm  opinion  that  the  govern- 
ment experimental  station  in  this  state 
is  the  proper  agency  with  which  to  act 
and  that  our  state  association  should  ap- 
point a  committee  at  once  to  cooperate 
with  the  agricultural  experimental  sta- 
tion and  secure,  if  possible,  the  use  of 
trial  grounds  for  necessary  experiments 
and  possibly,  to  some  extent,  for  the  pro- 
duction of  canners'  stocks.  These  trial 
grounds  should  be  located  near  some  can- 
ning factory  and  the  particular  seed 
taken  up  for  trial  should  be  adapted 
particularly  to  the  latitude  of  the  trial 
grounds.  Such  trial  grounds  would  be  a 
valuable  asset  to  our  industry.  Here 
would  be  a  source  of  information  to 
which  the  canner  would  always  go  with 
confidence  when  problems  should  arise 
as  to  the  selection  of  seeds  or  the  choice 
of  a  strain  for  some  particular  purpose. 
Here,  also,  official  tests  could  be  made 
of  the  canners'  seeds  as  to  growing 
quality,  upon  which  the  buyer  and  seller 
could  both  rely  with  confidence,  and  here 
problems  of  plant  disease  could  be 
worked    out,   such    as   pea  blight,   pea

louse,  etc.  The  queBtion  presents  itself, 
should  each  canner  establish  an  experi- 
mental farm  of  his  own  and  spend  the 
time  and  money  necessary  to  ascertain 
facts  necessary  to  the  intelligent  pur- 
chase of  his  seed  stocks  or  should  there 
not  be  certain  public  and  reliable  sources 
to  which  he  may  freely  go  for  the  in- 
formation required? 

"The  canner  must  have  the  best  seed 
stocks  that  can  be  produced,  not  only 
true  to  type  and  disease-resistant,  but 
seed  stocks  that  are  bred  to  the  highest 
power  of  maximum  production.  The 
state  and  national  government  should 
come  to  our  aid  in  this  necessary  work. 
The  modern  canner  cannot  tolerate  the 
least  sign  of  inefficiency  to  creep  into  his 
factory  organization  or  to  affect  his  fac- 
tory equipment,  and  why  should  we  al- 
low it  to  enter  the  domain  of  our  seed 
supply?"

The  Siebenthaler  Co.,  Cincinnati,  O., 
has  been  incorporated  with  a  capital  of 
$1,000  to  engage  in  the  nursery  business. 

A  DOUBLE-ACTING  slogan  is  that  of 
Overman's  Nursery,  Spokane,  Wash.,  of 
which  Mrs.  Euth  Day,  president  of  the 
Pacific  Coast  Association  of  Nursery- 
men, ,ia  manager.  It  reads  at  the  left  of 
the  letterhead,  "If  It  Grows — ^We  Have 
It,"  and  at  the  right,  "If  We  Have  It 
— It  Grows." 

Unprecedented  demands  upon  the 
nurseries  of  Fresno  county,  California, 
for  all  vines,  citrus  and  deciduous  fruits, 
have  caused  an  acute  shortage  never 
before  experienced  among  the  nursery- 
men of  the  county.  Though  the  planting 
season  has  not  commenced,  practically 
all  vines  and  trees  have  been  sold.  If 
the  nurseries  had  the  stock,  the  planting 
this  year  would  have  amounted  to  fifty 
per  cent  more  than  in  any  preceding  year. 
One  of  the  principal  reasons  for  the  lack 
of  nursery  stock  has  been  the  shortage 
of  rain  in  the  last  year.  Farmers  who 
planted  their  own  stock  were  forced  to 
let  them  die  on  account  of  all  available 
water  being  used  for  the  producing  trees. 
This  has  thrown  the  burden  of  supply 
upon  the  nurserymen,  who  are  entirely 
unable  to  take  care  of  the  present  ab- 
normal demand. 


BUREAU  FOR  FINDING  STOCK. 

In  a  bulletin  just  sent  out  to  members 
of  the  A.  A.  N.  plans  are  given  for  the 
establishment  of  a  bureau  for  finding 
stock.  In  it  President  J.  Edward  Moon 
explains  the  project  as  follows: 

"Every  day  Mr.  Watson  is  receiving 
requests  for  knowledge  of  where  this 
or  that  plant  may  be  found.  To  give  the 
information  now — even  though  he  pos- 
sessed it — would  be  unfair  to  members 
whose  stock  he  has  no  personal  knowl- 
edge of.  In  these  requests  are  oppor- 
tunities for  sales — so  the  American  As- 
sociation of  Nurserymen  hastens  to 
provide  its  members  with  the  facilities 
to  secure  this  business. 

"List  the  stock  you're  'long  on'  or 
any  items  you  wish  to  sell — 1  or  5000, 
it  makes  no  difference — upon  standard 
3  X  5-inch  filing  cards,  one  variety  to  a 
card,  the  number  and  size  you  have,  the 
date  and  your  name  and  address. 

"Send  these  cards  in  at  any  time  to 
Executive  Secretary  Watson's  office — 
they  will  be  filed  under  the  name  of  the 
variety  in  cabinets  provided  by  the  as- 
sociation. 

"When  inquiries  are  received  for  a 


variety  of  plant,  the  reply  from  Mr. 
Watson's  office  will  merely  mention  the 
name  and  address  of  every  member  list- 
ing the  variety  inquired  for.  It  will 
give  only  the  information  you  provide, 
without  additional  comment  of  any  kind. 
Prices  and  references  to  quality  will 
not  be  furnished. 

' '  If  sufficient  members  list  their  stock, 
the  bureau  may  be  advertised,  that  it 
may  become  a  clearing  house  for  nursery 
stock  generally.  The  information  of 
what  is  for  sale  will  be  given  anyone, 
but  the  privilege  of  listing  stock  is  for 
members  only.  Information  as  to  quan- 
tities will  be  given  only  to  members. 

"In  order  to  have  cards  filed  uni- 
formly, use  the  official  code  of  standard- 
ized plant  names  as  prepared  by  the 
American  joint  committee  on  horticul- 
tural nomenclature  and  adopted  by  the 
association  as  standard,  or  otherwise 
your  stock  may  be  filed  differently  and 
lost  track  of  in  the  association  files, 
when  being  inquired  for.  Cards  may  be 
filed  or  withdrawn  singly  or  in  quanti- 
ties at  any  time  you  wish." 


BARBERRY  ERADICATION. 

* '  The  campaign  for  the  control  of  the 
black  rust  of  wheat  through  the  eradi- 
cation of  the  common  barberry,"  states 
the  recent  report  of  the  Bureau  of  Plant 
Industry  of  the  Department  of  Agricul- 
ture, "is  in  active  operation  in  thirteen 
north  central  states,  namely,  Colorado, 
Illinois,  Indiana,  Iowa,  Michigan,  Minne- 
sota, Montana,  Nebraska,  North  Dakota, 
Ohio,  South  Dakota,  Wisconsin  and 
Wyoming.     State  laws  requiring  the  re- 


moval of  common  barberry  bushes  have 
been  enacted  in  all  these  states  except 
Indiana,  Ohio  and  Wyoming.  The  cam- 
paign has  been  conducted  in  each  state 
by  widespread  publicity  through  many 
channels. 

'  *  The  first  problem,  naturally,  is  to  lo- 
cate all  bushes  resulting  from  intentional 
planting  and  induce  their  owners  to  re- 
move them. 

"The  second,  and  perhaps  the  most 
difficult  problem  in  the  campaign,  is  to 
locate  bushes  running  wild.  The  number 
of  localities  in  which  wild  bushes  are 
found  is  immensely  larger  than  was  be- 
lieved at  the  beginning  of  the  campaign. 
Through  many  decades  since  barberries 
were  first  planted  in  these  states,  the 
seeds  have  been  sown  in  large  numbers 
in  thickets  and  woodlands  by  wild  birds. 
The  difficulty  of  locating  such  bushes  in 
rough  and  broken  timberland,  often 
amid  thickets  and  underbrush,  will  be 
appreciated  by  anyone  who  undertakes 
it.  It  is  essential,  however,  that  such 
bushes  be  located  and  removed.  In  most 
cases  they  are  not  far  distant  from 
grain  fields,  and  in  any  case  rust  spreads 
readily  from  them  to  grain  fields  by  way 
of  wild  grasses  in  their  vicinHy.  Fur- 
thermore, if  they  remain  .undisturbed 
their  numbers  will  continue  to  increase 
by  the  action  of  birds  throughout  the 
years  to  coidc. 

"The  third  problem  is  to  insure  that 
every  bush  located  is  removed  by  the 
owner  or  agent  and  so  thoroughly  and 
completely  removed  that  sprouts  vfill  not 
develop,  or,  failing  this,  to  insure  that 
sprouts  which  do  appear  will  be  de- 
stroyed.

"Already  the  number  of  bushes  lo- 
cated and  destroyed  runs  into  the  mil- 
lions. More  than  half  a  million  have 
been  destroyed  by  nurserymen  in  a  sin- 
gle state.  Naturally,  as  the  campaign 
progresses  the  number  of  bushes  located 
each  month  becomes  smaller.  However, 
they  are  still  being  found  by  the  tens 
and  hundreds  of  thousands.  From 
March  to  July,  1919,  inclusive,  more 
than  16,000  bushes  were  located  in  Il- 
linois. Nearly  40,000  were  located  in 
Iowa  during  the  spring  and  early  sum- 
mer of  this  year.  Up  to  May  30,  1919, 
Nebraska  had  found  63,000  bushes. 
About  94,000  plants  have  been  removed 
from  private  premises  in  Wisconsin,  in 
addition  to  large  numbers  taken  out  of 
public  grounds.  No  serious  outbreak  of 
black  stem  rust  occurred  this  season,  al- 
though many  bushes  undoubtedly  remain 
undiscovered. ' '

Ito  a  consumption  entry  at  the  port  of  arrival. 
MtructloDB   will   be    issued   later  with   respect

SiTo  determine  the  need  of  such  disinfection,  all

lar   be   entered  under   regulation   3   and

ove,  even  though  given  a  permit  for  final  entry 
an  interior  port,  must  be  held  at  such  listed 
»ort  of  arrival,  where  the  Inspector  will  also 
determine  whether  the  shipment  complies  with 
HBgulations  7  and  8.  Except  when  disinfec- 
tion is  required,  this  action  will  not  materially 
Interfere  with  the  prompt  movement,  under  Im- 
mediate transportation  in  bond,  of  shipments  to 
tbe  port  of  final  entry  where  the  condition^  of 
eegulatlons  11  and  12  must  be  met  by  the  im- 
porter or  his  agent. 

Shipments  for  which  permits  havfe  been  issued 
for  exterior  ports  of  entry  other  than  those 
listed,  or  which  must  pass  through  such  other 
ports  to  interior  ports  of  entry,  must  meet  the 
full  conditions  of  entry  under  the  regulations 
at  the  final  port  of  entry. 

As  to  importations  through  the  listed  ports, 
copies  of  permits  already  issued  under  regula- 
tion 3,  and  copies  of  all  future  permits,  will  be 
jent  to  inspectors  at  these  ports.  The  permits 
covering  trans-Pacific  importations  will  be  sent 
to  the  inspectors  both  at  San  Francisco  and  at 
Seattle,  and  the  permits  covering  trans-Atlantic 
importations  will  be  sent  to  the  inspectors  at 
New  York  and  Boston.  Imiwrtations  through 
Newark  vdll  be  taken  care  of  by  the  New  York 
Inspector.  Permits  for  importations  for  Interior 
ports  which  may  arrive  through  New  Orleans 
will  be  sent  to  the  inspector  at  New  Orleans. 

The  customs  oflJcers  at  these  ports  of  first  ar- 
rival also  will  be  furnished  with  copies  of  the 
permits  already  Issued,  as  well  as  with  copies 
of  all  future  permits,  of  shipments  which  will 
presumably  pass  through  their  ports.  The  cus- 
toms officers  at  ports  of  final  entry  also  will 
be  notified  of  this  actios  and  will  receive  as 
formerly  copies  of  the  permits  issued  for  their 
ports. 

Due  to  exigencies  of  traffic,  shipments  under 
permits  issued  for  Seattle  may  arrive  at  Sah 
lM|iclsco  or  vice  versa.  In  such  cases  the  pro- 
Mdnre  herein  authorized  may  be  carried  out

Carnation  Morning  Glow 

Has  now  been  on  trial  in  the  Boston  Market  for  4  years  and  has  made  good. 
It  is  there  considered  one  of  the  "bread  and  butter"  Carnations. 
The  grower  likes  it  because  it  is  an  easy  doer. 
The  seller  likes  it  because  it  is  a  splendid  shipper  and  keeper. 
The  ladies  like  it  for  its  ro^y  morning  glow  shade. 
MORNING  GLOW  is  early,  free,  with  a  good,  strong  stem.  It  has  no  tricks 

about  it. 
While  not  one  of  the  largest,  it  is  probably  the  most  profitable  of  all  Carnations. 
Sold  by  the  originator.  Booted  cuttings. 

$7.00   per   100;    $65.00    per    lOOO.

JERUSALEM  CHERRY 

ORANGE  QUEEN 

A  novelty  of  distinctive  merit,  which  should  sell  on  sight.  The  deep  golden  yellow  berries,  which  are 
produced  as  profusely  as  on  the  best  red-berried  varieties,  make  a  beautiful  contrast  with  the  green  foliage 
and  red  or  green  pot  cover.     Get  some  of  these  for  your  customers  who  want  "something  different." 

We  have  a  fine  lot  of  well-berried  plants  in  5-inch  pots  at  35c  each 9  or  $4<.00  per  doz.,  plus 
5  per  cent  for  packing. 

BAUR  &  STEINKAMP 

3800  Rockwood  Ave.  INDIANAPOLIS,  IND. 


SALT  LAKE  CITY,  UTAH. 


^, 


The  Market. 


jatest  reports  on  Thanksgiving  show 
that  the  business  was  the  laest  ever  ex- 
perienced, long  roses  being  the  only 
thing  that  did  not  clean  up  entirely. 

Business  last  week  continued  to  be 
good  and,  while  not  quite  so  good  as  the 
same  week'  last  year,  reports  are  more 
than  pleasing.  Wholesale  prices  on 
roses  have  not  advanced  since  October 
15  and  the  stock  is  moving  well  at  the 
following  prices:  Columbia  and  Hoosier, 
$8,  $15  and  $20  per  hundred;  Ophelia, 
Shawyer,  White  Shawyer  and  other  va- 
rieties, $6,  $12  and  $15  per  hundred. 
Carnations  are  in  great  demand,  select 
stock  selling  as  high  as  $8  per  hundred, 
while  shorts  and  splits  bring  $4  and  $5. 

Some  good  snapdragons  are  coming  in 
and  find  a  ready  market.  A  few  sweet 
peas  are  making  their  appearance,  but 
it  is  feared  that  the  supply  of  these  will 
be  limited  for  Christmas. 

Various  Notes. 

One  of  the  most  artistic  window'  dis- 
plays ever  seen  in  this  city  was  viewed 
at  the  store  of  E.  A.  Lambourne  during 
Thanksgiving  week.  Prepared  grasses, 
oak  berries,  grape  and  cat-tails  and  a 
few  suitable  pot  plants  were  used. 

C.  A.  Huson  and  J.  C.  McBain,  for- 
merly with  the  State  Nursery  Co.,  at 
Helena,  Mont.,  stopped  in  this  city  last 
week.  These  gentlemen  are  on  their 
way  to  southern  California  to  spend  the 
winter. 

L.  B.  Westholder,  of  Evanston,  Wyo., 
visited  the  trade  last  week.  Mr.  West- 
holder  is  the  owner  of  two  stores  in 
Wyoming.  He  expects  the  largest  busi- 
ness for  Christmas  that  he  has  ever 
known,  if  the  coal  strike  does  not  cause 
too  much  trouble  in  his  territory. 

G.  J.  B, 


Manistee,  Mich. — Ralph  J.  Souther- 
ton,  the  successor  to  Joseph  Clarkson, 
on  River  street,  recently  had  a  chrysan-

Dbcbhbeb  11,  1919. 


GreenhoBse  Heating 

BuBSOBiBEBS  are  invited  to  write  the 
editor  of  this  department  with  regard  to 
any  details  of  greenhouse  heating  that 
are  not  understood.  When  information 
is  desired  regarding  the  capacity  of  boil- 
ers, or  the  amount  of  radiation  required 
for  a  greenhouse,  the  needed  temperatures 
should  be  stated  in  the  inquiry,  as  well 
as  tlLd  amount  of  glass  in  the  side  walls, 
and  the  dimensions  and  general  arrange- 
ment  of  the  greenhouses.  It  is  often  help- 
ful also  to  have  a  sketch  showing  the 
location  of  the  houses. 


OIL  BXJBNEBS. 

Please  furnish  us  with  data  on  oil 
burners  and  oil  as  fuel  for  our  boilers. 

C.  B.  C— Pa. 

When  either  fuel  oil  or  kerosene  is 
used  for  heating  purposes,  it  is  neces- 
sary to  vaporize  the  liquid  and  mix  it 
with  air  before  it  is  burned.  In  the  case 
of  la^ge  boilers  it  is  customary  to  use 
either  steam  or  compressed  air  for  va- 
porizing the  oil,  but  in  heating  and  cook 
stoves  and  for  the  smaller  forms  of  boil- 
ers and  furnaces,  the  oil  is  heated  and 
vaporized  in  the  burner  itself.  On  leav- 
ing the  btirner  it  is  mixed  with  hot  air 
from  the  air  drum. 

The  comparative  heat  obtained  from 
oil  and  from  coal  depends  upon  the  grade 
of  each  fuel  used;  in  general,  it  has 
been  found  that  from  sixty  to  100  gal- 
lons of  oil  are  required  to  equal  a  ton  of 
hard  coal.  The  use  of  oil  for  heating 
purposes  has  come  into  quite  general  use 
on  the  Pacific  coast,  where  the  oil  seems 
to  be  especially  adapted  for  the  purpose 
and  where  its  cost  is  low,  while  good 
coal  is  especially  high  in  price.  While 
on  the  side  of  oil  as  fuel  may  be  put 
forward  the  expense  of  firing,  removing 
ashes,  etc.,  when  coal  is  used,  the  man 
who  would  burn  oil  must  have  a  large 
storage  tank  and  a  tank  wagon  for 
hauling  the  oil,  and  must  procure  and 
install  a  special  burner  for  the   oil. 

Geo.  W.  Fisher,  47  Eandolph  avenue, 
Poughkeepsie,  N.  Y.,  manufactures  the 
Begal  burner  for  either  kerosene  or  fuel 
oil.  It  is  especially  adapted  for  stoves 
and  small  boilers.  The  S.  T.  Johnson 
Oil  Burner  Co.,  1337  Mission  street, 
San  Francisco,  Cal.,  and  the  Eotary  Oil 
Burner  Co.,  159  Twelfth  street,  Oak- 
land, Cal.,  are  among  the  other  firms 
which  sell  oil  burners. 


PIPING  DAHIilA  HOUSE. 

Please  tell  me  how  to  pipe  a  green- 
house, running  the  pipes  under  the 
benches,  so  as  to  keep  a  temperature  of 
60  degrees  when  it  is  zero  weather  out- 
side. The  house  will  be  exposed  on  all 
sides  and  will  be  used  for  the  propaga- 
tion of  dahlias.  It  will  be  16  x  40  feet, 
with  three  feet  of  concrete  and  two  feet 
of  glass  in  the  sides,  three  feet  of  con- 
crete in  one  end  and  the  balance  glass, 
and  a  height  to  the  ridge  of  ten  feet. 
The  house  is  to  run  from  east  to  \^est. 
Steam  heat  is  to  be  used. 

G.  W.— N. 


Although  the  house  described  cgm  be 
heated  to  60  degrees  by  using  160  gquare 
feet  of  steam  radiation,  it  would  be 
advisable  to  install  a  boiler  with  a 
rating  at  least  fifty  per  cent  greater 
than  this;  if  another  house  is  likely  to

It  will  pay  you  to  consider  the  advantages  of  KROESCHELL 
BOILERS  for  Hot  Water  or  Steam  no  matter  how  large  or 
small  the  size  of  your  establishment. 

The  superiority  of  our  boilers  has  resulted  in  the  remoTal  and 
abolishment  of  hundreds  of  cast  iron  sectional  boilers— in  every 
instance  KROESCHELL  BOILERS  give  more  heat  with  the 
same  piping  with  less  fuel. 

KROESCHELL  BOILERS  have  no  bulky,  soot-accumulating 
surfaces— you  avoid  the  disagreeable  work  and  trouble  indis- 
pensable to  cleaning  boilers  with  complicated  and  tortuous  back 
and  forth  fire  passages.

The  high  safety  factor  of  KROESCHELL  BOILERS  eliminates 
the  danger  of  cracking  and  break-down  risks. 

Successful  greenhouse  owners  everywhere  insist  upon  KROE- 
SCHELL BOILERS  because  they  are  dependable  and  economical 
—you  get  better  and  longer  service— you  can  reduce  your  heating 
costs  by  burning  the  cheapest  grades  of  soft  coal. 

It  is  a  sign  of  scientific  management  to  own  a  KROESCHELL 
—a  business  management  that  insures  a  responsive,  efficient 
and  profitable  heating  system. 

The  supremacy  of  KROESCHELL  BOILERS 

is,; proven    by  itheir   country-wide    adoption.

place  an  air  valve  at  the  lower  end  of 
each  of  the  coils.  For  a  house  of  this 
size  it  would  be  desirable  to  use  a 
gravity  system,  placing  the  top  of  the 
boiler  at  least  two  feet  and  preferably 
four  feet  below  the  lower  ends  of  the 
coils. 

PIPINa   A    SMAU.  HOUSE. 

My  new  greenhouse  is  10x25  feet, 
with  16-inch  wood  side  walls  and  two 
glass  gable  ends.  The  benches  are  of 
earth,  the  path  being  sunken.  It  is 
seven  feet  from  the  bottom  of  the  path 
to  the  ridge.  Over  the  benches  the  glass 
pitches  from  sixteen  inches  on  the  low 
side  to  four  feet  on  the  high  side.  The 
house  is  roofed  with  sashbars  and 
16x18  double-strength  glass.  The 
boiler  pit  is  in  the  center  of  one  of  the 
side  benches  and  the  stack  passes  di- 
rectly up  through  the  roof.  Will  a 
1-inch  flow  pipe  running  overhead  and 
connected  with  four  half-inch  return 
pipes  running  around  three  sides  of  the 
house  heat  it  enough  for  pansies  and 
geraniums  during  weather  10  degrees 
below  zero!  If  not,  what  should  I 
have?  E.  B.  K— Mich. 

I  am  not  sure  how  it  is  proposed  to 
run  the  pipes.  If  the  flow  pipe  goes 
from  the  boiler  to  one  end  of  the  house 
and  the  four  half-inch  returns  run 
around  the  house  from  that  point  to 
the  boiler,  leaving  half  of  one  side  and 
half  of  one  end  of  the  house  without 
radiation,  there  would  be  a  little  less 
than  forty  square  feet  of  radiation. 
Under  proper  conditions  this  would 
keep  out  frost,  except  perhaps  along 
the  side  where  there  is  no  radiation; 
this  side  might  be  used  for  pansies. 

I  should  advise  piping  the  house  with 
the  idea  of  maintaining  40  degrees  in 
zero  weather,  although  32  to  35  degrees 
would  answer  for  stock  geraniums  and 
even  less  would  do  for  pansies.  For 
propagating  the  geraniums  in  the  spring 
it  will  be  advisable  to  have  a  minimum 
temperature  of  50  degrees. 

The  principal  objection  to  the  plan  of 
piping  proposed  is  that  even  in  a  small 
house  half -inch  pipe  is  too  small  to  be 
used  with  hot  water  heat.  I  should 
advise  running  a  l^/^-inch  pipe  from  the 
boiler  to  a  point  just  under  the  ridge 
and  then  with  a  slight  slope  to  the  end 
where  the  door  is  located.  From  there, 
run  one  coil  of  two  1%-inch  pipes 
around  the  wall  to  the  heater  and  an- 
other coil  of  two  1^-inch  pipes  from 
the  door  direct  to  the  heater,  thus  plac- 
ing a  coil  completely  around  the  house

Mums  are  beginning  to  pass  for  this 
season,  although  there  is  still  a  limited 
supply  in  the  market.  Carnations  ase 
still  somewhat  scarce,  but  growers  hope 
to  have  a  more  plentiful  supply  within 
two  or  three  weeks.  The  supply  of

YOU  WILL  MAKE  NO  MISTAKE 

in  placing  the  order  for  your  next  year's  greenhouses  now.  The  best 
grade  of  the  old  genuine  Louisiana  Red  Gulf  Cypress  is  scarce  and  will 
be  more  so  next  spring,  while  the  cost  of  labor  will  be  higher  than  it 
is  now. 

Our  patent  LEAK- PROOF  locked  gutter  has  proven  a  success.  If 
you  are  not  using  the  same  as  yet,  do  so  on  your  next  houses  and  we 
know  we  can  add  your  name  to  our  list  of  satisfied  customers.

The  Market. 

All  last  week  a  shortage  prevailed  and 
other  markets  were  called  on  to  help 
out.  With  this  condition,  naturally 
prices  have  been  firm  and  in  many  in- 
stances they  advanced.  The  supply  of 
carnations  has  shown  no  increase  and 
little  improvement  in  quality;  rather 
they  are  weaker  in  stem  and  of  poor  sub- 
stance. A  fancy  grade  is  not  to  be  had, 
but  the  best  arriving  bring  $7  per  hun- 
dred, seconds  $6  and  shorts  $4.  Boses 
are  holding  out  well  in  quality.  During 
the  week  Double  White  Killarneys  have 
been  more  plentiful;  some  of  these  are 
all  that  could  be  expected  in  quality  and 
readily  bring  $20.  Columbia  is  an- 
other best.  Ophelia  and  Sunburst  are 
not  what  they  should  be  in  either  flower 
or  stem.  American  Beauties  of  the 
second  grades  and  shorts  are  more  plen- 
tiful; fancy  Beauties  are  scarce.  Some 
chrysanthemums  are  still  to  be  had,  but 
they  have  lost  their  importance  in  the 
market.  During  the  week  there  were 
some  good  pompons.  The  best  of  these 
have  brought  $1.25  per  bunch,  the 
bunches  containing  from  six  to  eighteen 
sprays.  F.  P.  A.

Cold  weather  still  prevails  and  for  two 
or  three  days  the  thermoaieter  stood  at 
20  degrees  below  zero.  Chrysanthemums 
are  good  stock,  with  white  and  yellow 
Chadwiek  in  the  lead.  Boses  are  in  first- 
class  condition,  with  the  supply  equal  to 
the  demand.  Single  violets  have  been 
scarce,  owing  to  a  heavy  wind  storm  in 
California.  A  few  double  violets  are 
coming  along,  but  many  of  them  get 
frozen  en  route.  Funeral  work  was 
heavy  all  the  week;  consequently  stock 
was  cleaned  up  in  fine  shape.  A  number 
of  large,  elaborate  weddings  are  booked 
up  for  the  first  two  weeks  in  January. 
Flowering  plants  are  scarce,  with  no  sign 
of  improvement  for  the  Christmas  trade, 
and  no  doubt  many  will  have  to  be 
shipped  from  other  markets.  Christmas 
greens  are  beginning  to  arrive  and  the 
stores  are  decorated  with  bright  Christ- 
mas colors.  Many  orders  are  being 
booked  for  Christmas  and  every  florist 
is  anticipating  the  best  year  yet  expe- 
rienced.

Make  your  greenhouse  weather-tight  with  Asbestfalt,

peels  in  cold  weather  or  runs  in  hot  weather.  $1.25  a

With  the  scarcity  of  coal  and  its  high  prices,  the 
careful  application  of  Asbestfalt  will  more  than  pay 
for  itself  by  keeping  your  greenhouse  air-tight.

A  Good  Combination! 

EVERTITE 

GLAZING  CEMENntll!  ''OH  BOY''  Automatic  Glazmg  Gun 

Evertite  Glazing  Cemenf  remains  elastic  at  all  times— forming  a  waterproof  and  air- 
tight joint  over  the  sashbar.  Evertite  Glazing  Cement  will  stand  the  extreme  expan- 
sion and  contraction  that  a  greenhouse  is  subject  to  and  will  not  check  or  crack—  nor 
will  it  harden. 

You  know  what  putty  will  do.  Just  think  how  vastly  superior  Evertite  Glazing 
Cement  is  to  putty. 

Evertite  Glazing  Cement  applied  with  a  new  "Oh  Boy"  Gun  (see  cut  above)  makes 
an  ideal  combination.  This  gun,  which  is  the  last  word  in  glazing  guns,  allows  Evertite 
Glazing  Cement  to  flow  in  a  uniforni  consistency  all  the  time.  Note  the  ease  with  which 
this  gun^can  be  handled.  Think  of  what  you  have  used  and  draw  your  own  conclusion.

The  SCarket. 

Business  is  excellent,  with  plenty  of 
flowers  to  supply  the  demand.  Prospects 
for  a  good  Christmas  stock  of  flowers 
and  plants  are  good. 

The  coal  situation  here  is  serious  for 
those  who  have  only  a  small  quantity  on 
hand.  The  weather  is  mild,  so  that  it 
might  be  much  more  serious  than  it  is 
now. 

Various  Notes. 

Miss  Hester  Blackman,  daughter  of 
Edward  Blackman,  was  married  Novem- 
ber 29  to  Harlan  Foulke,  a  gifted  mu- 
sician of  this  city.  The  happy  couple 
left  for  a  two  weeks'  stay  at  8t.  Louis, 
Mo. 

Earl  Zeidler  has  returned  home  from 
his  trip  to  Louisiana  with  a  hunting 
party  and  reports  a  g^eat  time.  The 
party  killed  eight  deer,  besides  mai^ 
squirrels  and  quail.  Mr.  Zeidler  hals 
plenty  of  coal  on  hand. 

The  Blackman  Floral  Co.  is  cutting 
some  of  the  best  roses  it  ever  produced. 
During  November  the  cut  was  about 
30,000  blooms.  Business  is  good.  This 
firm's  coal  supply  is  low,  but  it  is  get- 
ting enough  to  keep  going. 

Niednagel  &  Sons  are  still  cutting 
some  fine  mums  and  pompons  and  also 
having  a  nice  cut  of  carnations  and 
other  flowers.  This  firm  has  a  good 
supply  of  coal  on  hand. 

The  Lockyear  Floral  Co.  has  only  a 
small  amount  of  coal  on  hand  and  is 
worried  as  to  the  outcome. 

Mrs.  J.  C.  Elspermann  also  has  only 
a  small  supply  of  coal  on  hand. 

Theodore  Euebler  says  he  has  about 
enough  coal  t6  last  till  January  1. 

Boyston  &  Fenton  have  enough  coal 
to  run  them  till  about  February  or 
March,  depending  upon  how  cold  it 
gets. 

Ernest  Lentz,  of  Lentz  &  McConnell, 
of  Boonville,  was  a  visitor  Sunday,  No- 
vember 30.  He  says  that  he  has  no 
trouble  getting  plenty  of  coal.  He  has 
the  new  houses  planted  in  lettuce  and 
as  soon  as  the  crop  is  cut  he  will  stock 
up  for  the  spring  trade  in  plants  and 
cut  flowers.     He   says  he  planted  two

"Perhaps  we  feel  the  value

Your  Coal  Pile  Coming  Down  7 

Winter  will  soon  be  with  us  once  more;  whether  you  will  have  enough  fuel  to  keep  agoing  all  Winter 
depends  chiefly  on  yourself;  a  leaky  house,  a  house  less  than  100%  air-leak-proof  will  waste  your  fuel;  a 
heuse  permanently  permanited  with  PERMANITE  will  save  your  fuel. 

Consider  a  house  glazed  with  putty;  after  a  short  period  the  putty  becomes  as  hard  as  brick  and  falls 
off;  that  leayes  a  leak  in  your  sash— out  goes  the  heat;  pu'tty  is  not  elastic— cannot  give  with  the  expansion 
of  your  house— and  that  means  more  broken  glass;  some  more  leaks— out  goes  the  beat. 

Not  so  with  PERMANITE;  Permanite  is  elastic  and  stays  elastic,  does  not  harden  and  therefore  cannot 
fall  off.  Being  elastic,  PERMANITE  giyes  with  the  expansion  of  your  houses,  keeps  them  in  perfect  air- 
leak-proof  condition  with  no  chances  for  the  heat  to  escape;  that's  where  you  save  fuel;  no  more  broken  glass 
with  PERMANITE  on  the  job;  again  you  save  fuel— and  glass. 

More  and  more  florists  all  over  the  country  are  realizing  that  PERMANITE  is  not  merely  a  glazing 

cement,  but  also  a  big  fuel-saver.  Our  latest  fold- 
er on  PERMANITE  shows  how  and  why— write 
for  your  copy  today.

INDIANAPOLIS^  IND. 


The  Maskei.  *'•    .,..<. 

The  market  is  short.  Every wliere 
there  is  a  clamor  for«tock.  A  few  sti'ag- 
gling  chrysaathemumB •  are,  all  that  is 
left  in  this  line;  large  ones  are  prac- 
tically nil,  but  a  f  e\^'  pom{)dns  linger. 

Eosbs  are  in  good  demand  and  clear 
rapidly  at  $4  per  hundred  and*  up.  The 
most  conspicuous  varieties  are:  Russell, 
Ophelia,  Premier,  Columbia,  Milady  and 
Hoosier  Beauty.  Although  there  is  a  fair 
supply  coming  into  the  market,  a  short- 
age of  all  other  flowers  makes  them  un- 
usually popular  and  the  supply  seems 
meager. 

Carnations  are  scaxce,  because  of  the 
recent  dark  weather.  Good  stock  ranges 
from  $5  to  $8,  although  poorer  flowers 
are  available  at  $3  and  $4  per  hundred. 
Carnations  are  especially  good  property. 

Other  miscellaneous  stock  includes 
sweet  peas,  which  are  not  yet  here  in 
large  quantity,  narcissi,  calla  lilies, 
calendulas,  a  few  violets  and  some 
stevia.  Lilies  are  limited  in  supply  and 
sell  at  $2  per  dozen.  •  Narcissi  are  of 
good  quality  and  move  at  $5  per  hun- 
dred. ' 

A  few  poinsettias  mark  the  coming 
of  the  Yuletide.  Potted  plants  are  be- 
ing offered  in  cyclamens,  Jerusalem 
cherries.  Chatelaine  begonias,  narcissi, 
obconica  primroses,  ferns  and  a  few 
poinsettias. 

Various  Notes. 

Bert  Hitz  has  been  cutting  a  large 
number  ;of  marigolds. 

H.  E.  Bach,  of  the  A,  L.  Randall  Co., 
Chicago,  was  a  visitor  last  week.  He 
has  the  territory  formerly  covered  by 
D.  L.  Fern  and  will  call  on  the  Indian- 
apolis trade  from  now  on. 

The  December  meeting  of  the  Indiana 
State  Florists'  Association  was  held  at 
New  Albany  Tuesday,  December  9. 

Abe  Martin  -recently  said  in  the  In- 
dianapolis News,  "O'  course  it  costs 
money  t'  'Say  It  with  Flowers,'  but  it's 
well  worth  th'  difference,  if  you  don't 
use  good  English. ' '  This  helps  to  prove 
that  "it  pays  to  advertise"  and  that 
the  public  has  learned  the  slogan.

Pulverized  Sheep  Manure 

For  nearly  fifteen  years  the  florists'  stand- 
ard of  quality — always  uniform  ami  always 
reliable.  A  quick  acting,  powerful 
NATURAL  fertilizer,  absolutely  free  from 
chemical  treatment  or  mixture.  Order  by 
name  and  be  sure  it's  WIZARD  BRAND. 
Don't  accept  a  substitute. 

Remember,  WIZARD  BRAND  SHEEP 
MANURE  is  packed  in  extra  quality  25-lb. 
and  50-lb.  bags,  and  attractively  printed 
5-lb.  and  10-lb.  cartons  for  your  retail  trade. 
There  is  nothing  better  you  can  offer  for 
lawn  and  garden  fertilizer. 


Shredded  Cattle  Nannre 


Makes  the  best  kind  of  mulch.  Maintains 
uniform  moisture  and  temperature  in  the 
benches.  Can't  be  beat  for  young  stock — 
keeps  it  growing  strong  and  vigorous.  It 
is  carefully  selected,  extra  quality,  pure  cow 
manure.  Concentrated  and  completely 
sterilized  at  high  temperature.  No  mixing 
and  no  chemicals — safe  and  sure — and 
mighty  convenient  to  have  in  a  storeroom 
for  every  kind  of  use  about  the  place. 

Always  ready — easy  to  handle — a  time 
and  money-saver. 


Look  for  the  WIZARD  BRAND  Trademark  tagged  or  printed  on  every  bag. 
If  it  is  not  there,  you  are  not  getting  WIZARD  BRAND  protection  for  your 
crop  and  pocket-book. 

Your  dealer  can  get  WIZARD  BRAND  for  you  if  you  insist,  or  we  will  quote

TB0X7BLE  WITH  SNAPDRAGONS. 

Kindly  give  me  the  following  infoi"- 
mation  regarding  a  disease  on  snaps: 
M7  plants  are  grown  in  one  solid  and 
one  raised  bench  at  a  night  tempera- 
ture of  50  to  52  degrees.  The  soil  is 
kept  in  a  moderately  moist  con- 
dition. The  plants  grow  well  until  the 
spikes  reach  a  height  of  about  eighteen 
inches;  then  the  tops  begin  to  hang, 
wilt,  and  dry  up.  There  are  no  insect 
marks  to  be  seen  and  no  rust  on  the 
plants.  What  remedy  could  you  advise 
to  overcome  the  disease,  as  the  plants 
will  not  pay  for  the  room  while  thus 
affected  f  The  place  is  located  at  an 
altitude  of  about  7,500  feet  above  sea 
level.  H.  H.— Colo. 


Snapdragons  will  wilt  in  the  way  de- 
scribed following  a  fumigation  with 
hydrocyanic  acid  gas,  but  I  have  not 
hitherto  experienced  this  trouble  except 
sporadically,  and  in  those  cases  merely 
portions  of  plants  will  die,  I  would 
suggest  lowering  your  temperature  at 
night  to  48  degrees.  Air  as  freely  as 
possible.  Run  the  plants  a  little  on 
the  dry  side  now  that  the  nights  are 
80  much  cooler  and  avoid  giving  any 
stimulants.  If  the  plants  are  well 
established  and  need  feeding,  better 
give  it  in  the  form  of  a  light  top-dress- 
ing of  old,  well  decayed  manure.  Avoid 
syringing  the  plants  at  all  times  and 
wet  the  foliage  as  little  as  possible 
when  watering.  Snapdragons  from 
seed  are  the  most  vigorous  and  free 
from  disease,  but  of  late  years  all  are 
more  subject  to  rust,  fungoid  affections 
and  stem-rot  than  formerly.  Tour  alti- 
tude should  not  be  detrimental,  but 
rather  the  reverse,  to  the  plants,  as 
snapdragons  do  best  in  a  cool  climate 
and  comparatively  low  temperature.  .

You  are  still  considering  the  all-important  question  of  the  houses  you  MUST  build  next  spring  to  enable  you  to 
cash  in  on  the  big  business  falling  to  the  lot  of  every  florist  who  is  ready  to  handle  it,  so  why  not  build  houses  like  this? 

The  design  speaks  for  itself  and  tiie  excellence  of 
the  workmanship  is  evident  at  a  glance. 

Of  course  you're  busy  now.  That's  why  we  make  the  suggestion— it'll  save  your  lime.  And  it'll 
be  a  relief  to  have  plans  and  estimate  to  study  when  the  rush  is  over  and  you  have  a  moment  in  which 
to  relax. 

It'll  only  take  a  moment  to  send  us  a  letter,  for  pen  and  ink  are  handy. 

Can't  you  get  it  in  the  mail  today?

A  Model  Pot  Plant  i^an^c 


,^  Built  for  the  Naumann- Heepe  Company,  at  Cleveland,   Ohio. 

Here  is  a  range  of  our  newest  type  pipe  frame  houses,  built  this  Fall. 

All  supporting  members  are  bolted  together,  no  chance  for  anything  to  slip  oflf  and  tumble  about  your  head. 

Anyone  can  tell  you  they  build  a  strong   house.    Just  ask  him   to   prove  to  you  that   supports  are  bolted 
through  the  pipe  and  fittings.     The  John  C.  Moninger  Co.  is  the  only  one  that  does  this. 

The  Heating  is  Moninger  Vacuum  System. 

The  Water  Supply  is  Moninger  Pressure  System. 

The  Service  Building  is  47  ft.  wide.    Note  the  self-supporting  steel  arches. 

A  wonderful  range,  wonderfully  built.

The  Greenwood  Floral  Co. 
Are  Making  Big  Strides 


Until  a  few  years  ago  the  "long  horned" 
cattle  of  Texas  had  been  the  pride  of  the 
plains.  Their  owners,  however,  realizing 
that  as  an  investment  they  did  not  yield  as 
much  as  the  "short  horn"  brand, which  were 
better  beef  producers,  gradually  disposed  of 
them,  until  now  they  are  practically  extinct. 

Just 'as  the  "short  horn"  cattle  have  taken 
the  place  of  the  "long  horn."  so  has  the 
modern.  Iron  Frame  Construction  green- 
house taken  the  place  of  the  cheaply  built 
"short  lived"  house. 

IniyiTwesold  the  Greenwood  Floral  Com- 
pany, of  Fort  Worth.  Texas,  three  Com- 
mercial Iron  Frame  houses,  each  11  feet  ;• 
inches  by  150  feet. 

They  are  just  a  forerunner,  too.  of  wliat  is 
yet  to  come. 

Mr.  Davis,  General  Manager,  was  so  satisfied 
with  these  houses,  and  so  proud  of  them, 
that  he  just  dressed  them  up  a  bit  at  the 
entrances  with  i)ergolas  and  evergreen 
planting,  which,  of  course,  lends  a  touch 
ofjdistinctiveness. 


Mr.  Bailey  and  Mr.  Davis,  owners  of  the 
Greenwood  Floral  Company,  sure  are  rust- 
lers, and  last  July  they  ordered  another 
house  79  feet  5  inches  by  300  feet. 

Each  gable  of  this  house  is  to  have  2  sets  of 
triple  doors,  with  a  line  of  ventilating  sash 
over  the  doors. 

They  intend  to  make  a  specialty  of  roses, 
and  the  new  house  is  to  be  entirely  devoted 
to  them.  Mr.  Davis  says  that  conditions 
are  decidedly  favorable— plenty  of  ground, 
good  soil,  sufficient  water  for  irrigation 
purposes,  and  Quantities  of  fertilizer,  and 
that  if  this  house  proves  a  success,  another 
will  follow. 

With  the  completion  of  this  last  house,  the 
Greenwood  Floral  Co.  will  have  one  of  the 
most  up-to-date  ranges  in  Texas. 

You  can  ha\e  the  most  up-to-date  range  in 
your  section  but  don't  hesitate;  don't  let 
the  other  fellow  get  ahead  of  you. 

We  are  at  your  ser\  ice.

Our  Mr.  Miller  Inspecting  a  Field  of  Cultivated  Rubrum  Lilies  in  Japan 

HARDY  LILIES 


^ 


A  few  cases  planted  now  come  in  very  handy  and  bloom  at  the  time  when  flow- 
ers are  scarce.  These  flowers  last  longer  than  any  other  flowers  you  can  use  for  a 
floral  piece.  They  improve  the  character  of  the  floral  piece  when  used  with  other 
flowers. 

We  offer  for  immediate  shipment  the  following  varieties: ., 

Rubrum,  Album,  Magnificum,  Auratum 

Sizes  7/9,  8/9,  9/10,  9/11,  10/11,  11/12 

For  four  weeks  we  have  had  485  Cases  of  these  Lilies  in  our  possession,  or  in  our 
customers'  hands.    The  unsold  portion  of  this  shipment  is  in  storage  awaiting  your  order. 

The  quality  of  our  Lily  Bulbs  cannot  be  surpassed.  We  positively  assure  you 
that  these  Bulbs  have  been  properly  cultivated  to  produce  the  best  Bulbs  for  flo- 
rists' forcing.  This  type  of  Lily  grows  wild  in  Japan,  but  the  bulbs  must  be  culti- 
vated to  give  the  results  florists  demand.  During  the  war  very  few  were  cultivated 
for  export  purposes.  When  our  Mr.  Miller  arrived  in  Japan,  knowing  of  the  scarcity, 
he  immediately  purchased  fields  that  have  been  cultivated. 

To  produce  a  good  Hardy  Lily,  it  is  necessary  to  gather  the  Bulbs  in  the  moun- 
tains, where  they  grow  wild,  and  then  cultivate  them  for  a  season  or  two  in  open 
land.  This  method  improves  the  quality  and  has  been  long  practiced  by  the 
Japanese  growers.  Very  few  cultivated  bulbs  are  available  this  season,  so  you  can 
expect  many  uncultivated  Lily  Bulbs.  In  trusting  us  with  your  order,  you  assure 
yourself  of  the  best  cultivated  stock.

BRINGING  BUYERS        <^ 
s^  INTO  THE  STORE 

Creating  fioivcr  buyers  out  of  the  prosperous  ivage-caniers  who  have 
never  bought  blooms  before  is  a  problem  that  is  occupying  much  attention 
in  the  trade.  The  solution  has  yet  to  be  found,  but  here  is  a  device  that  is 
making  customers  for  a  live  retailer  in  Buffalo.

T  ONE  time  or  another 
people  are  led  by  their 
own  needs  or  desires  into 
the  store  of  the  grocer,  the 
butcher,  the  baker,  into 
the  drug  store,  the  hard- 
ware shop,  or  the  drygoods 
emporium.  Their  daily 
life  impels  them  to  pur- 
chase at  these  places  at 
least  occasionally  and  these  occasions 
engender  familiarity  that  brings  the 
buyer  back  again.  Only  the  florist  is 
lacking  in  a  natural  need  that  propels 
possible  patrons  into  his  establishment. 
The  death  of  a  friend  or  relative  neces- 
sitates funeral  flowers,  but  such  occa- 
sions are,  ordinarily,  years  apart.  And 
the  florist  today  is  seeking  to  cultivate 
business  aside  from  funeral  work.  He 
cannot  depend  on  this  item  alone  to 
bring  in  customers  and  he  has  not  the 
natural  wants  of  ordinary  life,  such  as 
the  other  stores  have,  to 
attract  patronage.  The 
florist  is  compelled  to  de- 
vise by  his  own  ingenuity 
means  of  inducing  passers- 
by  to  enter  his  shop.  The 
success  with  which  he 
draws  buyers  into  his  estab- 
lishment is  dependent  upon 
his  own  wit  more  than  in 
.uiy  other  trade. 

Especially  at  Present. 

Need  for  methods  of  ere- 
.ating  flower  buyers  is  par- 
ticularly felt  at  present. 
High  wages  have  brought 
prosperity  to  a  class  of 
people  who  have  not  been 
in  the  habit  of  buying 
flowers  and  whose  environ- 
ment and  education  have 
not  inculcated  in  them  any 
latent  longing  for  flowers. 
The  salaried  class,  formerly 
the  genus  of  the  general 
flower  buyers,  has  felt  the 
high  cost  of  living  most 
keenly,  for  while  wages 
have  jumped  skyward,  sal- 
aries have  only  ascended 
slightly  and  slowly.  So 
this  one-time  support  of  the 
florist  has  weakened  as  the 
increasing  prices  of  neces- 
sities have  compelled  sal- 
aried folk  to  curtail  other 
items  in  order  to  meet  the 
rent  and  the  butcher's  and 
grocer's  bills. 

How  to  awaken  in  the 
prosperous  wage-earners  the 
desire  for  flowers  is  a 
j>roblem   florists  have  cudg- 


eled their  brains  over.  The  natural  de- 
sires of  such  people,  once  they  have 
money  to  spend,  seem  to  be  food  and 
adornment.  Herein  lies  the  reason,  say 
economic  experts,  that  j)rices  have 
climbed  most  markedly  in  these  two 
classes  of  commodities.  Expensive  food 
and  expensive  clothes  sell  more  easily 
and  in  greater  quantity  than  ever  be- 
fore. But,  retail  florists  say,  these 
])eople  do  not  buy  flowers  in  propor- 
tion. 

Is  There  a  Way? 

So  the  minds  of  florists  alive  to  this 
situation  have  grappled  with  the  prob- 
lem of  making  flower  buyers  out  of  this 
new  class  of  money  spenders.  The  op- 
jiortunity  open  to  the  one  who  can  de- 
vise an  effective  means  to  this  end  has 
appealed  vividly  to  many  of  the  trade. 
Hilt  \\\o  way  is  not  easy  to  find.  Flower 
buyers    are    usually    the    product    of    a

life's  environment  and  education. 
Whether,  by  printers'  ink  or  some  other 
powerful  agency,  the  process  formerly 
so  long  can  be  reduced  to  so  short  a 
I)eriod  as  to  be  profitable  to  the  trade, 
is  still   a  matter  of  conjecture. 

Though  no  general  means  for  doing 
this  has  been  found,  various  retailers 
have  been  conspicuously  successful  in 
devising  ways  of  attracting  the  public 
into  the  flower  store.  Once  that  is 
done,  much  is  gained.  A  large  number 
of  persons  who  buy  flowers  only  at 
Easter,  Christmas  and  Mothers'  day 
are  deterred  by  the  prices  they  must 
pay  on  such  occasions  from  visiting  the 
florist  at  other  times.  Many  others 
passing  a  flower  store  and  seeing  ex- 
j)ensive  pieces  of  floral  art  in  the  win- 
dow imagine  everything  inside  is  priced 
above  their  means. 

To  draw  such  ]ieo])le  as  these  in- 
side the  store,  even  if  it  is  only  for  a 
small  purchase  at  first,  is  an 
object  that  has  occupied 
many  ret.'iilers'  minds.  One 
<if  the  devices  that  has  been 
the  result  of  such  mental 
effort  is  that  illustrated  on 
this  page.  The  Delaware 
avenue  store  of  W.  J. 
i'almer  &  Son,  in  Buffalo, 
is  one  of  the  most  elaborate 
in  the  country.  Its  large 
plale-glass  front,  wide  ex- 
panse of  rug-covered  floor, 
tables  of  artistic  pottery, 
vases  of  long  -  stemmed 
flowers  and  fountain  and 
conservatory  in  the  rear 
are  not  calculated  to  pro- 
duce an  appearance  of 
clie.'ipness  in  tlie  passer's 
mind.  Indeed,  it  is  located 
to  cater  to  the  automobile 
traflic  which  f)asses  on  the 
boulevard.  Trade  from 
pedestrians  is  small.  Yet 
Mark  Palmer  conceived  that 
it'  the  persons  going  by  on 
foot  couM  be  induced  to 
enter  the  store,  there  would 
be  just  that  much  added  to 
the  sales. 

Starting  Small. 

So  he  devised  the  self- 
serve  flower  stand.  In  de- 
sign and  construction  it  is 
simjde,  the  illustrations  of 
it  almost  explaining  it  suffi- 
ciently. A  coin  box  such  as 
is  used  in  a  street-car  is 
the  first  thing  to  be  ob- 
tained. This  is  set  on  a 
wooden  box,  into  which  the 
money    falls.      Around    the

outside  of  the  box  are  glass  test  tubes, 
which  can  be  cheaply  bought  at  drug- 
gists' or  chemists'  supply  stores.  These 
tubes  are  held  upright  in  a  wire  frame. 
In  them  may  be  placed  carnations  or 
roses  or   other  short-stemmed  stock. 

On  a  summer  day  passers  are  attract- 
ed by  the  sign,  "Help  Yourself.  10 
Cents  Each,"  and  drop  a  coin,  putting 
a  flower  in  his  buttonhole  or  pinning  it 
on  the  front  of  her  dress.  Mr.  Palmer 
states  that  during  the  five  summer 
months  during  which  the  stand  stood 
outside  the  store  it  averaged  forty- 
seven  customers  a  day,  or  $4.70  for  each 
day  of  the  five  warm  months.  He  says 
he  believes  that  on  a  street  where  there 
are  more  pedestrians  the  average 
would  easily  be  tripled. 

Better  Than  MoneT 

But  better  than  the  actual  returns 
in  money  was  the  missionary  work  that 
the  stand  did  out  on  the  walk  in  front. 
On  rainy  days  passers  missed  the  stand 
and  went  into  the  store  for  their  flow- 
ers. When  winter  came  the  customers 
who  had  patronized  the  stand  during 
the  summer  came  into  the  store  and 
made  purchases.  This  is  the  way  Mark 
Palmer  puts  it: 

"From  the  time  we  opened  our  new 
and  beautiful  store  on  Delaware  avenue, 
I  always  had  a  feeling  that  the  average 


buyers  into  the  store  and  creating  cus- 
tomers by  slow  degrees  of  education. 
The  trade  can  use  such  devices  to  its 
permanent  advantage.  Perhaps  there 
are  others  of  which  it  should  hear. 


DUMSEB'SDATA. 


Paul  M.  Halbrooks,  Newark,  O.,  cut 
his  last  mums  two  days  before  Thanks- 
giving and  within  twenty-four  hours 
had  the  same  benches  planted  to  snap- 
dragons. He  is  a  firm  believer  in  keep- 
ing benches  working  all  the  time. 

Fred  W.  Arnold,  Cambridge,  O.,  has 
not  been  bothered  by  the  shortage  of 
coal  or  by  the  miners  going  on  a  strike. 
He  had  valuable  experience  during  the 
war  and  ^aa  opened  a  mine  on  his 
twenty  acres  adjoining  the  greenhouses, 
so  that  he  does  not  have  to  buy  coal. 

Fischer  &  Burkland,  Youngstown,  O., 
have  been  carrying  two  houses  of  mums 
for  Christmas,  but  their  trade  calls  for 
them  every  day;  so  they  are  well  satis- 
fied. 

The  J.  Kiel  Co.,  East  Liverpool,  O., 
has  a  large  call  for  funeral  work  and 
regrets  not  building  50,000  feet  of  glass 
before  the  war,  as  the  20,000  feet  does 
not  supply  their  requirements. 

McFarlands,  Akron,  O.,  have  a  fine  lot 
of  cyclamens,  some  with  forty  to  sixty 
blooms  and  many  buds,  on  well  shaped

person  who  passed  by  and  perhaps  had 
the  desire  to  buy  a  rose  was  afraid  to 
come  into  the  store.  So  I  went  outside 
to  them.  The  result  is,  when  winter 
comes  and  we  do  not  have  the  flower 
stand  out  in  front  the  customers  who 
have  patronized  it  during  the  summer 
come  inside." 
This  is  one  way  of  bringing  possible 


plants  averaging  twenty-eight  inches 
across.  They  say  the  local  trade  will 
buy  all  of  them. 

Geo.  B,  Watkin,  Zanesville,  0.,  re- 
ports his  November  sales  this  year  far 
in  excess  of  the  same  month  last  year. 
His  benches  are  well  filled  for  Christ- 
mas. 

Harry  Miller,  Alliance,  O.,  has  closed 


a  deal  for  a  5-year  lease  on  a  store  at 
the  busiest  corner  in  town.  It  is  being 
fitted  up  in  modern  style,  with  plenty  of 
mirrors.  -  He  believes  that  the  best  loca- 
tion is  cheapest. 

Chas.  Betscher,  Dover,  O.,  is  having 
his  first  vacation  in  twenty  years.  He 
is  serving  on  the  grand  .iury.  He  says 
this  is  the  first  thing  in  twenty  years 
that  has  taken  him  away  from  his  work, 
but  he  enjoys  his  compulsory  vacation 
at  $2  per  day.  D.  W.  D. 

MILWAUKEE. 


The  Market. 

Conditions  have  not  been  so  favorable 
during  the  last  two  weeks.  Cuts  have 
declined  considerably,  due  to  the  ex- 
tremely cold  weather,  which  is  the  only 
factor  that  has  helped  to  keep  the  mar- 
ket from  getting  overloaded. 

Mums  are  about  out  of  the  market.  A 
few  of  medium  size  and  some  poor 
bunches  remain,  but  the  demand  is  not 
strong.  Boses  move  fairly  well  at  me- 
dium' prices.  Their  quality  is  good  and 
they  are  worth  better  prices.  Carna- 
tions, which  have  not  been  plentiful  at 
any  time  this  season,  still  are  scarce  and 
bring  from  $4  to  $8  per  hundred.  Sweet 
peas  are  coming  in  more  heavily,  some 
being  of  good  quality,  others  being 
short-stemmed  and  poor  in  color.  Vio- 
lets move  as  fast  as  they  come  to  the 
market.  The  crop  is  apparently  quite 
short  and  the  demand  good.  Few  or- 
chids are  available  and  those  marketed 
bring  a  good  price.  Calendulas  are  in 
fair  supply  and  sell  readily.  Some  callas 
and  a  few  rubrum  lilies  are  coming  in. 

The  wholesale  houses  are  busy  dis- 
tributing their  supply  of  boxwood,  win- 
ter berries,  wreaths  and  miscellaneous 
Christmas  supplies.  The  demand  is  good 
and  the  retailers  are  preparing  for  a 
large  holiday  business. 

The  growers  are  well  booked  with 
plant  orders.  Practically  every  plant 
grown  for  Christmas  sale  is  assigned  to 
someone  and,  while  the  variety  this  year 
is  not  great,  the  quantity  is  normal. 

Various  Notes. 

Restrictions  on  coal  for  lighting  and 
heating  have  caused  the  stores  to  oper- 
ate only  seven  hours  per  day  since 
December  4.  This  has  had  a  tendency  to 
slow  up  business  to  some  extent,  ac- 
cording to  opinions  noted.  Normal 
hours  were  resumed  December  15  and 
the  psychological  effect  is  apparent. 

Mrs.  M.  O.  Seeman  has  been  seriously 
ill  for  the  last  three  weeks. 

Herman  Hunkel  says  there  were  but 
two  local  orders  for  Christmas  plants  at 
the  greenhouses  the  Monday  following 
Thanksgiving.  On  Wednesday  of  the 
same  week  they  were  practically  sold 
out. 

Someone  made  a  bit  of  money  last 
year  on  stevia.  This  year  every  grower 
has  some  and  no  one  will  make  any- 
thing. This  happens  every  year  with 
the  item  that  had  the  strong  call  the 
year  before. 

Walter  Maas  has  a  new  Dodge  deliv- 
ery car,  also  a  motorcycle  with  side  car 
for  specials. 

Biehard  Lietz,  who  suffered  a  broken 
rib  while  moving  a  case  of  bulbs  into 
his  store,  is  getting  along  nicely  and  will 
be  fit  for  the  Christmas  rush.    A.  H.  M. 


Kansas  City,  Mo. — H.  C,  Pfeiffer, 
proprietor  of  the  Gladstone  Floral  Co., 
has  acquired  the  St.  Mary  Greenhouse,

THE  HIGH  COST  OF  FLOWERS. 


Wliat  Is  the  Advance? 

The  questions,  "If  the  grower  is 
obliged  to  pay  100  per  cent  more  for 
everything  that  is  used  in  the  produc- 
tion of  flowers,  what  must  he  demand 
for  his  product!"  and  "If  he  demands 
a  legitimate  return,  what  effect  is  this 
going  to  have  on  the  retail  store?"  were 
the  subjects  for  discussion  at  a  recent 
florists'  club  meeting.  After  a  lengthy 
debate,  the  only  phase  of  the  problem 
that  was  clearly  established  was  the 
fact  that  production  had  advanced  100 
per  cent  in  the  last  five  years;  indeed, 
there  were  some  who  made  the  claim 
that  100  per  cent  would  not  cover  it. 
There  is  no  end  of  discussion  as  to 
what  the  proper  advance  in  the  price 
of  flowers  should  be,  or  just  how  much 
advance  the  public  is  going  to  stand 
before  they  will  stop  buying  flowers. 

Going  back  to  pre-war  conditions,  let 
us  see  just  how  much  the  cost  of  flow- 
ers has  advanced  during  the  last  five 
years.     As  I  write  this  I  have  before 
me   a   price   list,   dated   November    16, 
1914,  issued  by  one  of  the  most  reliable 
wholesale  firms  of  an  eastern  city.     A 
comparison  of  the  prices  quoted  in  this 
with  a  price  list,  from  the  same  city, 
published  in  The  Eeview  November  13, 
1919,  will  give  us  a  clear  idea  of  what 
the  advance  has  been  in  the  wholesale 
market.     It   might  be  well   to  remind 
readers  that  the  dates  of  the  price  lists 
we  are  considering  are  at  the  time  chrys- 
anthemums   are   at    their   height,   thus 
causing  the  prices  of  roses  in  both  years 
to  be  below  normal,  with  such  varieties 
as  Premier  and  Columbia  missing. 
Prices  Before  and  After  War. 
We  will  start  with  American  Beauty. 
The  1914  list  has   five   grades  quoted, 
viz.:    Special,  $22.50;  fancy,  $20;  extra 
$15;   first,  $10;   second,  $8.     The   1919 
list  has  two  grades:  Long,  $50  to  $60; 
short,    $12    to    $20.      The    figures    for 
mums,  which  controlled  the  market  dur- 
ing  the   weeks   quoted,    are,    for    1914, 
$10,  $12  and  the  best  at  $15  per  hun- 
dred;   in   1919,  fancy    are   $25   to    $30, 
select   $15   to   $20,   ordinary    $5   to   $8. 
Cattleyas   in    1914   were    $40   per    hun- 
dred; "in  1919,  $100  to  $150.    Space  will 
not   permit   more    figures;    anyone   who 
files   his  price   lists    for   reference    can 
easily   make    comparisons.      The    above 
figures  show  that  a  substantial  increase 
has  been  made.  . 

Now,  taking  these  figures  as  a  basis, 
is  it  not  reasonable  to  assume  that  the 
growers'  profits  are  as  great  in  1919, 
with  the  increased  cost  of  production, 
as  they  were  in  1914!  These  figures 
seem  to  indicate  that  the  increased  cost 
of  production  has  been  taken  care  of 
and  any  florist  who  finds  that  with  the 
prevailing  quotations  of  today  he  is 
unable  to  meet  his  cost  of  production, 
with  a  fair  profit  besides,  would  better 
look  elsewhere  for  the  reason. 

Keep  Cost  Down  and  Quality  Up. 

The  florists'  business  has  now  ad- 
vanced to  a  point  where  efficiency  in 
production  is  just  as  necessary  as  in  any 


manufacturing  business.  Both  grower 
and  retailer  should  remember  that  it  is 
their  duty,  through  efficiency  in  produc- 
ing and  distributing  their  product,  to 
put  it  into  the  hands  of  the  consumer 
at  as  reasonable  a  cost  as  will  be  con- 
sistent with  quality.  The  public  ex- 
pects to  pay  more  for  flowers,  just  as 
it  does  for  everything  else,  but  we 
should  remember  there  is  a  limit  and 
should  make  it  a  point  to  study  the 
consumers'  interests  as  well  aa  our 
own. 

Another  point  we  should  remember  is 
that  flowers  are  not  an  absolute  neces- 
sity, in  the  sense  that  they  cannot  be 
done  without,  but  the  same  can  be  said 
of  every  automobile  built  for  pleasure. 
Take  any  of  the  large  automobile  fac- 
tories and  you  will  find  that  they  have 
efficiency  experts  whose  business  it  is 
to  keep  the  cost  of  production  down 
and  the  quality  of  the  machine  up.  Com- 
petition compels  them  to  do  this.  And 
the  time  has  come  when  the  fiorists 
must  consider  these  two  important 
points. 

WJll  the  PubUc  Pay? 
Let  us  look  for  a  moment  at  the 
second  question  quoted  at  the  beginning 
of  this  article,  "What  effect  will  this 
have  on  the  retail  stores!"  This  can 
mean  but  one  thing — ^will  the  public 
pay  the  advanced  price  the  retailer  is 
obliged  to  charge!  Several  who  spoke 
on  the  affirmative  side  of  this  subject 
said  they  were  unable  to  get  all  of  the 


stock  they  required.  I  have  been 
around  to  a  number  of  growers  and 
there  is  certainly  no  part  of  their 
ranges  idle  and,  as  far  as  I  can  see,  there 
are  as  many  flowers  produced  today  as 
there  ever  were.  The  wholesale  houses 
are  well  cleaned  up  at  all  times.  Then 
is  it  not  reasonable  to  assume  that  there 
are  as  many  flowers  being  sold  today  as 
ever!  Any  retailer  will  tell  you  that 
business  this  fall  has  equaled  that  of 
last  year.  Is  not  this,  when  you  take 
into  consideration  the  epidemic  of  flu, 
an  indication  that  business  is  improv- 
ing! 

There  is  just  one  point  I  want  to  call 
attention  to,  and  my  reason  for  doing 
it  is   that  I  have  heard  it   quoted   so 
often.      It    is   this:      An    old    customer 
wUl  often  come  in  and   ask  the  price 
of  a  certain  article.     When  he  is  told, 
he  will  say  it  is  ridiculous  and  some- 
times  wUl   go   out   without   making   a 
purchase  or  will  be  compelled  to  take 
something  else^.     I  believe  this  is  the 
greatest  cause  of  the  uncertainty  that 
exists   today   among   the   florists.     Re- 
member    your     business     is     passing 
through  a  process  of  change;  people  are 
buying  flowers  today  who  never  bought 
them  before.     Be  guided  by  the  gross 
business  you  transact  and  not  by  the 
complaint  of  an  individual,  no  matter 
how  good  a  customer  he  may  be.     Of 
course,  it  is  well  to  try  to  educate  such 
a  customer  and  in  most  cases  you  will  be 
able  to  reason  with  him.    Every  retailer 
has  the  same  conditions  to  contend  with. 
Be  firm,  though  courteous,  and  you  will 
win  out. 

To  sum  up  on  the  question,  I  believe 
that  the  grower  is  now  getting  for  his 
product  sufficient  to  meet  the  advanced 
cost  of  production  and  that  the  retail 
branch  of  the  business  has  never  been 
in  a  more  healthy  condition.        Tate.

BUSINESS  WOMEN. 


Hester  A.  Oetz. 

One  of  the  most  salutary  signs  of  the 
times  is  the  increasing  part  being  played 
by  women  in  fields  formerly  regarded  as 
the  exclusive  province  of  men.  Perhaps 
the  realm  of  politics  supplies  the  most 
striking  examples.  The  business  world 
of  today  is  replete  with  instances  of 
the  widow  assuming  the  burdens  of  the 
prematurely  departed  husband  and  bear- 
ing them  with  signal  success,  and  of  the 
young  woman  who,  after  thoroughly 
training  herself,  initiates  a  business  of 
her  own,  to  say  nothing  of  the  wife  or 
assistan';  to  whose  guiding  hands  the 
success  of  many  captains  of  industry 
may  justly  be  attributed.  The  florists' 
business  offers  no  exception;  on  the  con- 
trary, it  is  a  pursuit  in  which  sex  plays 
little  part  and  one  in  which  women  are 
preeminently  fitted  to  succeed. 

In  Cleveland  Hester  A.  Getz  has 
proved  beyond  cavil  that  a  woman  can 
make  good  in  the  business  of  retailing 
flowers.  Her  best  friends  are  her  patrons, 
acquired  and  kept  by  the  scrupulously 
exacting  manner  in  which  their  orders 
are  executed.  Miss  Getz  employs  no 
men  upon  her  selling  staff;  she  flnds 
women  better  adapted  to  the  needs  of 


her  business.  Personality  and  refined 
taste  pervade  her  shop,  in  which  lovers 
of  choice  flowers  delight  to  linger,  the 
effect  being  a  generous  loosening  of  the 
purse  strings.  Each  succeeding  year 
finds  her  business  increasing  in  volume 
as  well  as  in  profit.  She  is  an  enthu- 
siastic member  of  the  F.  T.  D.  and  regu- 
larly attends  the  conventions  in  quest 
of  new  ideas,  and  her  belief  in  the  mer- 
its of  publicity  is  attested  by  her  con- 
tributions to  both  the  local  and  national 
funds.  Hester  A.  Getz  is  a  type  of  the 
new  business  woman  destined  to  play 
an  important  role  in  the  future  of  the 
commercial  flower  business. 

Helen  M.  Schlnraff. 

Those  who  know  this  energetic  woman 
cannot  help  admiring  her  because  of  the 
degree  of  success  she  has  achieved.  The 
manner  in  which  she  has  pushed  aside 
obstacles  and  forged  her  way  to  the 
front  would  be  a  credit  even  to  members 
of  the  sterner  sex.  Hard  and  intelligent 
work,  united  with  a  determination  to 
succeed,  is  responsible  for  the  enviable 
standing  of  Helen  M.  Schluraff,  at  Erie, 
Pa.,  in  the  florists'  business  today. 

It  is  an  acknowledged  fact  that 
women  get  closer  to  their  business  and 
give  greater  attention  to  detail  than  do 
men;    such    traits    inestimably   qualify

The  Florists^  Review 


December  18,  1919. 


them  to  win.  In  the  conduct  of  a  re- 
tail flower  business  the  little  things 
are  of  prime  importance  and  their  neg- 
lect simply  means  greasing  the  chute 
by  which  the  florist  readily  glides  into 
bankruptcy.  Since  the  greater  number 
of  flower  buyers  are  women,  it  is  meet 
that  they  come  into  contact  with  mem- 
bers of  their  own  sex  in  having  their 
floral  wants  supplied.  Aside  from  ac- 
tual necessity,  the  love  of  one's  work 
regulates  the  degree  of  energy  applied 
to  it  and  the  effort  so  prompted  is  the 
most  productive.  Knowing  well  her 
work  and  equally  resolved  to  prosper, 
Helen  M.  SchlurafP  has  achieved  a  suc- 
cess which  might  serve  as  an  inspiration 
to  all  women  aspiring  to  a  business  ca- 
reer. 

B.  S.  Feam. 

It  has  been  justly  observed  that 
women  florists  give  closer  attention  to 
the  appearance  of  their  stores  than  do 
male  members  of  the  profession.  This 
is  particularly  true  in  the  smaller  cities. 
Stepping  into  the  Elyria  Flower  Shoppe, 
of  which  B.  S.  Feam  is  proprietor,  at 
Elyria,  O.,  one  accustomed  to  visiting 
flower  stores  is  immediately  impressed 
with  the  force  of  this  assertion.  A 
woman  of  refined  taste  rarely  fails  to 
appoint  her  place  of  business  in  a  hand- 
some manner.  This,  with  a  discriminat- 
ing nicety  in  handling  orders,  is  an  asset 
which  women  bring  to  the  profession. 

B.  S.  Feam  entered  the  florists'  busi- 
ness because  she  was  intensely  fond  of 
flowers  and  succeeded  in  it  by  reason 
of  her  devotion  to  its  needs.  She  insists 
upon  personally  opening  her  store  in  the 
morning  and  closing  it  at  night.  Scores 
of  patrons  go  regularly  to  her  place  of 
business  feeling  assured  that  their  or- 
ders will  be  given  the  proprietor's  per- 
sonal attention.  Service  is  the  watch- 
word and  its  practical  application  brings 
the  inevitable  reward,  increased  busi- 
ness. An  electrical  * '  Say  It  with  Flow- 
ers ' '  sign  in  front  of  her  shop,  visible  a 
great  distance  by  reason  of  its  prom- 
inence, supplies  evidence  that  B.  S. 
Feam  fully  appreciates  the  advantages 
of  publicity  and  is  profiting  by  its  intel- 
ligent use.  What  was  formerly  an  ordi- 
nary flower  store  has  been  changed  to  an 
up-to-date  and  prosperous  business  by 
the  enterprise  of  its  present  proprietor, 
which  is  proof  positive  of  her  ability  as 
a  business  woman.

The  Market. 

The  market  opened  at  the  beginning 
of  last  week  with  a  fair  amount  of  ac- 
tivity and  continued  so  throughout  the 
week.  The  retail  stores  are  more  and 
more  festive-looking,  most  of  the  down- 
town stores  being  now  decorated  for 
the  approaching  holiday. 

Cut  flowers  are  not  plentiful  and 
prices  are  approaching  those  of  previous 
years.  The  chrysanthemum  season  is 
practically  at  an  end,  save  for  a  few 
late  varieties  which  are  showing  up  in 
small  quantities  each  day.  These  are 
bringing  good  figures  and,  owing  to  the 
scarcity  of  other  flowers,  are  much  in 
demand.  Pompons  are  also  seen,  but  the 
supply  is  quite  limited.  Good  cattleyas 
and  cypripediums  are  on  the  market, 
but  prices  on  the  former  are  quite  high 
and  the  demand  is  somewhat  slow.  Good 
mignonette  is  seen  and  moves  well.  Pa- 
per   White    narcissi    reach    us    now   in 


heavier  supply,  but  are  not  any  too 
plentiful  as  yet.  Tliey  are  of  good  qual- 
ity and  sell  freely. 

There  is  a  satisfactory  supply  of  roses 
reaching  the  market  each  day  and,  since 
there  is  a  steady  demand,  no  surplus  is 
left.  The  demand  is  chiefly  for  the  me- 
dium grades,  but  there  is  no  difiiculty 
in  disposing  of  both  long  and  short 
stock.  Fine  Columbia  is  reaching  us  at 
this  time  and  is  especially  well  received. 
There  promises  to  be  a  good  supply  of 
red  stock  for  the  holidays.  Violets  sold 
better  during  last  week  and  the  quality 
is  good.  Single  violets  do  not  move  so 
readily.  Calla  lilies  are  reaching  us  in 
small  quantities  and  sell  well.  Bouvar- 
dia  in  pink  and  white  arrives  in  small 
quantities  and  is  of  good  quality.  Snap- 
dragon is  also  seen. 

Christmas  greens  are  arriving  in  ex- 
cellent shape  and  there  is  a  splendid 
supply  of  laurel  and  laurel  roping  on 
hand.  Boxwood  this  season  is  excep- 
tionally good  and  the  demand  is  good. 
Ground  pine  is  also  selling  readily.  Mis- 
tletoe is  in  good  condition.  Winter 
berries  and  j5artridge  berries  are  of  spe-

Various  Notes. 

George  F.  Boucher  has  both  his  East 
Main  street  and  his  East  avenue  win- 
dows filled  with  Christmas  baskets  of 
helichrysums  and  other  dried  flowers 
and  foliages,  the  production  of  Arthur 
M.  Newborn.  They  are  artistically  ar- 
ranged and  attract  considerable  atten- 
tion. 

Alberts  the  Florist  has  an  attractive 
window  arrangement,  in  which  fancy 
vases,  ferneries  and  .iardinieres  are  seen 
in  large  quantity,  all  nicely  filled  with 
strawflowers,  berries  and  artificial  flow- 
ers. He  is  doing  a  fair  business  in  holly 
and  pine  wreaths. 

The  Rochester  Floral  Co.,  of  9  North 
street,  has  recently  installed  a  new  elec- 
tric sign  bearing  the  word,  "Flowers." 
The  sign,  which  is  set  at  an  angle,  is 
clearly  seen  from  the  main  street;  since 
the  word  is  of  ordinary  block  letters,  it 
is  easily  noticeable.  This  store  reports 
good  business  so  far  this  month  and  the 
outlook  for  Christmas  is  promising. 

E.  R.  Fry,  of  West  Main  street,  re- 
ports a  large  amount  of  funeral  work 
recently.     He  is  making  good  prepara- 


tions for  the  holiday  and  his  store  is 
especially  attractive  in  its  decorations 
and  Christmas  novelties. 

James  Macgregor,  of  Parsells  avenue, 
is  doing  a  good  business  in  that  section 
of  the  city.  He  is  making  up  a  lot  of 
Christmas  novelties,  including  a  large 
number  of  gourds  which  he  is  filling 
with  helichrysums,  etc. 

Visitors  to  the  trade  last  week  were 
B.  Kimball,  of  Syracuse,  N.  Y.;  S.  W. 
Morgan,  of  Le  Roy,  N.  Y.;  Mrs.  Percy 
Patrick,  of  Auburn,  N.  Y.;  R.  W.  Mer- 
rill, of  Sayre,  Pa.,  and  the  manager  of 
the  Exchange  Flower  Shop,  Geneva, 
N.  Y. 

George  B.  Hart  is  growing  some  fine 
ferns  and  palms  at  his  greenhouses  in 
Fairport,  N.  Y.;  they  will  be  in  good 
shape  for  the  Christmas  rush. 

George  Cramer  has  been  busy  during 
the  last  three  months  making  up  birch 
bark  baskets  of  all  sizes  and  shapes.  He 
is  about  through  now  and  expects  to 
leave  town  in  a  day  or  two  for  Buffalo 
to  assist  one  of  the  florists  during  the 
holidav  season.  H.  J.  H. 


PAINESVIIiU!,  O. 

Beginning  the  first  of  the  year,  the 
firm  of  T.  R.  Norman  &  Sons  will  run 
their  nursery  on  a  profit-sharing  basis 
with  all  employees  who  have  been  in 
their  employ  two  years  or  more. 

R.  A.  Hacker,  probably  one  of  the 
most  successful  propagators  of  shrubs, 
roses,  etc.,  in  northern  Ohio,  reports  a 
highly  prosperous  season. 

H.  P.  Knoble  and  Shep.  Norris,  of 
Cleveland,  motored  to  Painesville  on  a 
business  trip  Saturday,  December  13. 
Mr.  Norris  is  superiiitendent  of  the 
Friedley  Co.  greenhouses. 

Joseph  Martin  started  in  business 
for  himself  recently.  Mr.  Martin  has 
ten  acres  well  stocked  with  nursery 
stock,  perennials,  etc. 

Carl  Schmidt,  foreman  for  the  Carl 
Hagenburger  Co.,  West  Mentor,  O.,  has 
reason  to  be  proud  of  a  house  of  cycla- 
mens grown  by  him.  Some  of  them 
measured  two  feet  across.  They  met 
with  ready  sale  to  the  Cleveland  retail 
trade.    There  were  2,000  plants  in  all. 

Kallay  Bros,  have  enlarged  their  seed- 
room  and  have  also  built  a  new  collar 
and  packing  house  for  nursery  stock. 

The  nurserymen  in  this  section  say 
that  fruit  trees  are  scarce  and  will 
double  in  price.  Plums  will  be  hard  to 
get  at  any  price. 

C.  C.  Hallinan  says  he  has  had  an 
exceptionally  good  demand  for  peren- 
nials, shrubs,  etc.,  this  fall. 

The  Carl  Hagenburger  Co.,  at  West 
Mentor,  O.,  sends  its  Packard  truck  on 
two  trips  daily  to  Cleveland.  This  not 
only  saves  express  charges,  but  also  gets 
the  shipments  to  customers  in  first-class 
condition. 

E.  H.  Schultz,  manager  of  the  Way- 
side Gardens,  Mentor,  O.,  says  that  1919 
has  been  the  banner  year.  With  many 
orders  already  booked  for  spring  deliv- 
ery, the  coming  season  promises  to  sur- 
pass all  previous  ones. 

Wilson  the  Florist  has  had  a  beautiful 
window  display  of  Christmas  flowers.

Akron,  0. — Recently  the  Heepe  Co. 
received  a  $1  order  for  flowers,  to  go, 
according  to  the  order,  "to  the  Akron 
Chamber  of  Commerce,  in  appreciation 
for  getting  us  some  coal."  Narcissi  to 
the  value  of  $1  were  immediately  sent 
to  the  chamber's  office.

FIGHTINa  FERN  CATEIIFILI.AB. 

I  noticed  with  considerable  interest 
an  article  in  The  Eeview,  December  4, 
regarding  a  worm  which  works  on  ferns 
and  the  trouble  which  numerous  florists 
are  having  with  this  pest. 

Our  firm  had  considerable  trouble 
with  this  worm  some  time  ago  for  about 
two  years  before  we  exterminated  it 
after  a  loss  of  several  thousand  dollars. 
It  is  no  trouble  at  all  to  get  rid  of  this 
pest  if  you  have  the  right  remedy,  but 
it  took  us  two  years  to  find  it.  We 
sent  samples  of  this  worm  to  the  state 
entomologist,  Purdue  University  and 
the  University  of  Illinois,  with  no  re- 
sults. We  found  a  number  of  remedies 
which  would  kill  the  worm,  but  which 
if  used  strong  enough  would  kill  or  ruin 
the  ferns  also,  and  consequently  we  did 
not  have  a  salable  fern  for  more  than 
two  years. 

Through  the  courtesy  of  J.  D.  Eisele, 
of  Henry  A.  Dreer,  Inc.,  we  were  ad- 
vised to  use  pyrethrum,  a  form  of  insect 
powder,  blowing  it  on  about  once  a 
week.  After  several  applications  we 
exterminated  this  pest  entirely.

FERNS  HAVE  WEAK  FRONDS. 

Kindly  tell  us  the  cause  of  fronds 
on  Boston  ferns  getting  weak  near  the 
root.  The  fronds  seem  healthy,  but  for 
some  reason  they  grow  brown  and  get  so 
weak  that  they  cannot  hold  their  own 
weight.  We  cannot  determine  whether 
it  is  caused  by  the  condition  of  the  soil 
or  whether  it  is  a  disease.  Kindly  give 
us  any  information  you  can. 

W.  S.— Utah. 


Without  seeing  the  ferns  in  question, 
it  is  not  easy  to  say  just  what  the 
trouble  is,  but  it  is  quite  possible  that 
an  alkaline  soil  has  something  to  do 
with  it.  I  would  suggest  giving  a  light 
top-dressing  of  lime,  or  mixing  some 
ground  limestone  in  the  soil.  This  would 
do  the  ferns  no  harm  and  would  cor- 
rect the  aciditv  of  the  soil  if  such  exists. 

W.  H.  T. 


ADIANTUMS  TURN  BROWN. 

In  September  I  transplanted  some 
adiantums  from  one  bench  to  another. 
They  had  been  doing  finely  up  to  that 
time,  but  now  the  new  growths  turn 
brown  as  fast  as  they  are  formed.  The 
adiantums  are  planted  in  black  sod  loam, 
mixed  with  sand,  well  rotted  manure 
and  leaf-mold,  all  thoroughly  incorpor- 
ated. Among  forty  plants,  there  arc 
only  two  that  are  doing  well. 

H.  L.  W.— Kan. 


So  far  as  may  be  judged  from  the 
description  of  the  condition  of  the 
ferns,  this  would  seem  to  be  a  case  of 
giving  too  much  food.  It  is  probable 
that  too  much  manure  has  been  mixed 


with  the  soil,  and  the  plants  may  also 
have  been  overwatered.  This  combina- 
tion would  check  the  root  action  of  the 
plants;  consequently  the  young  fronds 
would  fail  to  mature.  Try  keeping  the 
soil  somewhat  drier  until  the  plants  get 
established.  "         W.  H,  T.

Club  Meeting.  ~     "  ' 

The  annual  meeting  of  the  Nassau 
County  Horticultural  Society  was  held 
in  Pembroke  hall,  December  10,  at  7  p. 
m.  President  Joseph  Adler  occupied  the 
chair.  James  Barlow,  James  Allison, 
Simon  Garden,  Oscar  Olson  and  John 
Henderson  were  elected  members  and 
five  petitions  for  membership  were  re- 
ceived. 

President  Adler  appointed  Henry 
Gaut,  James  MacDonald  and  William 
Preston  to  judge  the  monthly  exhibits, 
and  their  awards  were:  Pot  Paper 
White  narcissus,  James  McCarthy,  first; 


three  heads  of  celery,  James  McCarthy, 
first;  twenty-five  Brussels  sprouts, 
Thomas  Henderson,  first. 

Since  the  last  meeting,  D.  S.  Smithers, 
an  honorary  member,  had  died  and  the 
secretary  was  directed  to  write  a  letter 
of  sympathy  to  Mrs.  Smithers.  The 
treasurer  read  his  annual  report,  which 
shows  this  society  to  be  in  a  strong 
financial  position. 

President  Adler  appointed  John  D. 
Johnstone  chairman  in  charge  of  elec- 
tion, and  Henry  Gaut  and  John  West- 
lake  as  tellers.  Thomas  Twigg  was 
elected  president  and  Mr.  Millstead 
vice-president.  Edward  Harris  was  re- 
elected secretary  and  C.  J.  Brown  treas- 
urer. Joseph  Adler  was  elected  trustee 
for  three  years  and  Arthur  S.  Cook 
corresponding  secretary.  Messrs.  West- 
lake,  Henderson,  Watson,  Frampton, 
Smith,  Young  and  Carter  were  elected 
on  the  executive  committee. 

Mr.  Popp  made  a  few  remarks  on  the 
assistant  gardener  and  offered  a  prize 
for  the  best  decorated  basket  of  flowers, 
to  be  competed  for  at  the  June  meeting 
by  assistant  gardeners. 

Maurice  Fuld  made  a  few  interesting 
remarks  on  the  work  the  Garden  Club 
of  America  has  planned  to  do  in  the 
coming  year. 

There  was  a  record  attendance  at  this 
meeting  and  a  motion  was  made  and 
carried  that  the  secretary  put  in  the 
minutes  the  attendance  of  each  meeting. 

Exhibits  for  the  January  meeting  will 
consist  of  twelve  carnations,  twenty-five 
freesias  and  three  poinsettias.

EXPERIMENT   WITH   SOIL. 

I  have  two  benches  in  my  carnation 
house  where  I  expected  to  bench  snap- 
dragons, but  I  couldn't  get  any  when 
I  was  ready.  What  can  1  put  in  there 
that  will  give  the  biggest  returns? 
What  about  gladioli? 

The  soil  proposition  is  the  worst 
thing  I  have  to  contend  with  here.  I 
have  to  haul  black  mountain  soil  about 
twenty  miles.  The  soil  here  is  adobe 
and  full  of  alkali;  so  I  tried  an  experi- 
ment, using  two-fifths  mountain  soil, 
two-fifths  pure  gypsum  and  one-fifth  rot- 
ten cow  manure  in  one  bench.  The 
rest  is  all  mountain  soil.  (This  moun-

The  Florists^  Review

out  next  summer,  if  cut  back  and 
planted,  bloom  in  the  fall  in  the  gar- 
dent  Or  would  it  be  better  to  start 
early  cuttings  and  plant  them  out? 

D.  F.  C— Colo. 


You  will  find  over  a  column  of  snap- 
dragon advertisements  in  the  Classified 
section  of  The  Eeview.  If  your  market 
will  absorb  the  cut  from  a  bench,  they 
will  probably  pay  you  better  than  any- 
thing else  you  could  bench  now.  Ca- 
lendulas, too,  would  give  a  splendid  cut 
within  a  short  time  if  you  will  buy 
plants  from  3-inch  or  larger  pots.  The 
best  strain  obtainable  will  be  the  most 
profitable  in  the  end.  Gladioli  would 
do  well  if  planted  soon.  Do  not  try  to 
force  these,  or  failure  will  surely  re- 
sult. We  find  50  degrees  just  about 
right  for  them.  Keep  the  temperature 
right  and  guard  against  red  spider, 
their  worst  enemy  in  the  greenhouse. 

Carnation  plants  which  have  bloomed 
all  season  do  not  make  ideal  stock  for 
planting  out  for  blooms  during  the  sum- 
mer or  fall.  Young  plants  grown  from 
early-struck  cuttings  will  give  better 
results.  Probably  the  best  results 
would  be  obtained  from  late-propagated 
plants,  potted  into  3-inch  or  4-inch  pots 
in  the  fall  and  carried  over  in  cold- 
frames  until  spring,  at  which  time  they 
could  be  planted  out,  blooming  by 
early  summer.  If  your  climate  is  not 
too  severe  to  carry  them  through  the 
winter  in  coldframes,  this  would  be  the 
ideal  plan. 

Your  local  growers  or  your  state  ag- 
ricultural experts  could  give  you  better 
advice  on  the  soil  question  than  I. 
They  are  familiar  with  your  local  con- 
ditions, while  I  am  not.  However,  if 
you  find  something  that  gives  better 
results  than  what  you  are  using,  lose 
no  time  in  substituting.  That  is  the 
way  to  progress.  A.  F.  J.  B. 

FBOM  HANSEN'S  HANGAB. 


Kansas  City,  Mo. 

The  Pinehurst  Floral  Co.  has  been 
spending  about  $300  a  day  getting  wood 
for  the  greenhouses.  Twenty  men  are 
employed  to  cut  timber  at  $4  a  day  and 
the  loading  and  unloading  is  a  large 
item. 

Kansas  City  business  has  been  cur- 
tailed on  account  of  all  amusements  be- 
ing discontinued  during  the  coal  crisis. 

St.  IjOuIs. 

Considering  the  shortened  hours 
lately  prevailing,  the  spirit  of  the  flo- 
rists is  wonderfully  brilliant.  Prac- 
tically everyone  is  looking  forward  to  a 
big  Christmas  business.  St.  Louis  uses 
many  orchids,  both  cattleyas  and  cyp- 
ripediums,  as  well  as  vandas  and  other 
spray  orchids.  Beauties  are  seldom  seen 
here.  There  is  a  good  supply  of  local 
violets. 

The  St.  Louis  Wholesale  Cut  Flower 
Co.  has  probably  the  finest  appearing 
wholesale  store  in  the  country;  the  front 
is  decorated,  the  finishing  inside  is  green 
and  the  tables  are  polished. 

Joseph  Witek,  at  4748  McPherson 
avenue,  is  a  good  way  from  the  center 
of  the  town,  but  his  location  enables 
him  to  handle  not  only  large  quantities 
of  cut  flowers  of  the  usual  grades  but 
also  much  fancy  work. 

Memphis. 

Memphis  stores  occupy  little  space. 
When  one  enters  a  place  such  as  Nell's 


Flower  Shop  the  adage,  "Good  things 
come  in  small  packages,"  enters  one's 
mind.  There  is  true  harmony  here. 
Flowers  come  from  the  Chicago  market 
principally. 

Louisville,  Ky. 

There  are  many  fine  stores  here,  but 
the  store  owners  do  not  have  glass  of 
their  own  as  a  rule. 

Edith  V.  and  David  Walker,  formerly 
with  their  father,  William  Walker,  have 
opened  a  store  on  the  opposite  side  of 
South  Fourth  street. 

David  Weller  is  active  manager  of  the 
William  Walker  Co. 

It  is  peculiar  to  note  that  the  Ward 
rose  is  quite  popular  down  here. 

Indianapolis. 

Indianapolis  stores  have  peculiarities 
of  display  novelties.  The  Circle  Flower 
Store,  on  Monument  place,  has  an  elab- 
orately tiled  floor,  in  the  center  of 
which  there  is  a  pond  with  goldfish. 
A.  Wiegand  'a  Sons  Co.  has  a  window  of 
alligators;  they  number  fifteen.  H.  W. 
Rieman's  store  contains  one  of  the 
finest  collections  of  birds  to  be  found 
anywhere  in  this  part  of  the  country. 

Bertermann  Bros.  Co.  has  a  wonderful 
array  of  palms  and  ferns  under  glass 
in  a  section  adjoining  their  store,  which 
is  always  beautifully  decorated.  The 
Bertermanns  have  made  themselves  fa- 
mous by  hard  work,  and  any  visitor  to 
their  store  is  able  to  feel  the  radiance 
of  activity  that  prevails  there.

CHBISTMAS  IN  NEW  YOKE. 

Under  date  of  December  16,  Max 
Schling,  Inc.,  sent  the  following  letter 
to  2,000  florists  with  whom  orders  are 
exchanged: 

The  wholesale  prices  of  flowers  In  New  York  are 
steadily  increasing.  We  are  now  paying  for  the 
best  American  Beauties  $1.25  each,  for  long- 
stemmed  Hadley  roses,  60  and  75  cents  each. 
Short-stemmed  roses  range  from  15  to  20  cents 
each,  carnations,  12  and  15  cents  each;  violets 
vary  between  $2  and  $3  a  hundred;  orchids,  $2 
to  $2.50  each. 

These  are  wholesale  prices.  What  will  they 
be  at  Christmas? 

Therefore  my  personal  advice  to  m.v  brother 
florists  is  that  when  taking  orders  for  small 
sums  of  money  we  must  bie  careful  what  we 
promise.  Irrespective  of  the  present  high  cost, 
we  must  give  our  customers  satisfaction;  we 
must  consider  that  we  need  these  customers  not 
only  for  Christmas,  but  all  the  year,  and  have  to 
take  care  of  them,  especially  of  those  who  can- 
not spend  more  than  $4.  $5  or  $6,  and  satisfy 
them  the  same  way  as  those  who  spend  $25  and 
more.  To  enable  us  to  take  care  of  them  prop- 
erly, please  do  try  to  take  all  orders  for  $4 
$5  and  $6  open  to  our  selection,  so  that  we  can 
plve  them  either  a  plant  or  flowers  which  not 
only  represent  the  value  of  the  mone.v  spent, 
but  which  will  also  show  to  the  best  possible 
advantage. 

Every  order  filled  should  be  a  credit  to  us  and 
satisfactory    to    the   customer. 

The  same  policy  applies  with  equal 
force  to  other  cities;  orders  should  be 
of  sufficient  value  to  cover  the  overhead 
costs  and  good  quality  flowers,  else  they 
would  be  better  not  sent,  and  so  far  as 
possible  selection  should  be  left  to  the 
one  who  fills  the  order. 


ST.  LOUIS,  MO. 


The  Market. 

The  zero  weather  the  first  part  of  last 
week  taxed  the  capacity  of  the  boilers 
of  our  local  growers,  and  the  cloudy 
weather  did  not  help  the  market  as  to 
supply.  But  as  there  seems  to  be  some- 
thing of  a  lull  among  the  retailers  just 
previous  to  the  Christmas  rush,  the  de- 
mand has  been  moderate  and  just  about 


enough  to  clean  up  the  supply  of  good 
stock  that  came  in  daily. 

Prices  will  undoubtedly  rise  greatly 
by  the  end  of  this  week  if  the  supply 
is  still  short  of  expectations.  Now 
that  the  coal  ban  has  been  lifted,  the 
growers  can  use  coal  more  freely  than 
they  have  for  the  last  two  weeks  and 
that  should  help  the  production  greatly. 
In  looking  over  the  various  local  whole- 
sale markets  last  week,  we  found  there 
was  still  a  large  supply  of.  late  mums 
coming  in;  among  them  a  lot  of  extra 
good  fancy  Bonnaffons,  both  white  and 
yellow.  But  the  end  of  the  mum  season 
is  close  at  hand.  Boses  are  coming 
along  well,  and  with  a  week  of  clear 
weather  the  crop  should  be  large  for 
Christmas,  as  our  local  growers  have 
been  off  crop  almost  a  month.  Premier, 
Bussell,  Columbia' and  Ophelia  of  extra 
quality  were  noticed  during  the  week. 

Carnations  are  expected  to  be  in  crop 
for  the  coming  holidays.  The  advance 
prices  show  that  they  will  be  high  on  all 
fancy  stock.  Violets  are  not  any  too 
plentiful  at  present,  but  as  the  weather 
is  just  right  for  them  a  good  crop  is 
expected  for  Christmas.  Sweet  peas 
are  slow  this  season  and  only  a  few 
are  coming  in  from  our  local  growers; 
prices  have  been  exceptionally  high  on 
the  few  coming  into  this  market.  Val- 
ley and  lilies  are  scarce.  The  market 
is  almost  clear  of  them  at  present. 

Among  the  miscellaneous  stock  com- 
ing in  daily  are  bouvardias,  Paper 
Whites,  yellow  narcissi,  calendulas, 
mignonette,  stevia  and  snapdragons,  all 
of  which  have  a  good  demand.  Orchids 
have  been  in  fairly  good  demand  all 
the  week,  with  prices  up  to  $24  per 
dozen  for  choice  cattleyas. 

There  is  not  enough  asparagus  and 
long  smilax  coming  for  the  demand. 
Adiantum  and  common  flat  ferns  are 
in  large  supply,  while  the  demand  for 
galax,  boxwood  and  leucothoe  has  been 
excellent  all  the  week. 

Florists'  Club  Meeting. 

The  last  meeting  in  the  old  year  of 
the  St.  Louis  Florists'  Club  took  place 
Thursday  afternoon,  December  11,  at 
2  p.  m.,  in  parlor  A,  Planters*  hotel. 
The  attendance  numbered  fifty  when 
President  Hummert  called  the  meeting 
to  order,  with  all  the  officers  present. 
After  disposing  of  the  general  opening 
business,  the  chair  called  upon  all  com- 
mittees for  reports. 

The  state  fair  premium  committee  re- 
ported that  the  next  state  fair  would  be 
held  at  Sedalia,  Mo.,  beginning  August 
7,  and  that  the  committee  had  offered 
to  fiorists  for  plants  and  cut  flowers 
$643  and  to  amateurs  $64.  The  reports 
were  accepted,  and  the  committee  dis- 
charged with  thanks. 

George  Asmus,  of  Chicago,  who  was 
present,  offered  the  society  medals  for 
premiums  at  the  state  fair  and  his  offer 
was  accepted  by  the  committee. 

Chairman  Bourdet  made  a  pleasing 
report  of  the  work  of  the  publicity 
committee  and  the  amount  of  money 
being  spent  for  advertising  the  sale  of 
cut  flowers  and  plants.  Mr.  Little,  who 
has  charge  of  all  the  committee's  ad- 
vertising, was  present,  and  also  advised 
the  members  on  advertising. 

A  letter  was  read  from  President-elect 
A.  L.  Miller,  of  the  S.  A.  F.,  which  in- 
formed the  members  that  he  had  ap- 
pointed W.  J.  Pilcher  as  state  vice-presi- 
dent of  the  S.  A.  F.  for  eastern 
Missouri,  to  succeed  himself,  which 
pleased  the  members  exceedingly.

The  Florists'  Review 


21 


A  letter  was  read  from  President  J.  F. 
Ammann,  of  the  S.  A.  F.,  regretting  his 
inability  to  be  present  at  this  important 
meeting,  as  he  was  addressing  the  grow- 
ers'  association  in  Chicago  the  same 
(lay,  and  saying  that  George  Asmus,  of 
Chicago,  would  address  the  St.  Louis 
meeting  on  publicity  work  from  the  re- 
tailer's standpoint. 

There  were  forty-three  applications 
for  membership  ready  for  ballot,  being 
read  for  the  second  time.  On  report  of 
a  committee  of  five  that  they  were  not 
ready  to  report  on  the  applicants,  and  on 
motion,  all  were  laid  over  for  the  next 
meeting  of  the  club. 

The  chair  then  called  upon  George 
Asmus,  president  of  the  Chicago  Eetail 
Florists*  Association,  for  a  talk  on  pub- 
licity. Mr,  Asmus  responded  in  his 
usual  happy  manner  and  told  the  re- 
tailers what  good  the  publicity  commit- 
tee is  doing  them  in  helping  them  to 
advance  in  business  and  how  they 
should  get  in  line  with  this  work.  Mr. 
Asmus  consumed  almost  an  hour  in  one 
of  the  best  talks  the  members  have 
ever  listened  to,  and  the  local  com- 
mittee will  greatly  benefit  from  Mr. 
Asmus '  talk.  At  its  conclusion  a  rising 
vote  of  thanks  was  given  Mr.  Asmus. 

The  new  state  vice-president,  W.  J. 
Pilcher,  was  present,  and  reminded  the 
members  that  this  month  was  their  last 
chance  to  become  life  members  of  the 
S.  A.  F.  for  $25,  and  that  beginning 
January  1,  1920,  the  life  membership 
will  cost  them  $50 — ^just  double. 

Treasurer  Smith's  report  was  pleasing, 
as  it  showed  a  healthy  balance  on  hand. 

The  meeting  then  adjourned  and  the 
trustees  announced  that  lunch  would  be 
served;  it  was  much  enjoyed  by  all 
present. 

State  Horticultural  Society. 

The  Missouri  State  Horticultural  So- 
ciety held  its  annual  meeting  at  Spring- 
field, Mo.,  December  9  to  11  in  the 
Chamber  of  Commerce  building.  Prof. 
H.  C.  Irish,  of  St.  Louis,  attended  the 
meeting  and  reported  that  it  was  one 
of  the  most  interesting  and  well  at- 
tended meetings  of  the  society  and  that 
the  feature  of  the  meeting  was  a  talk 
on  "The  Farmer's  Wheel  of  Progress," 
by  Dr.  Harry  R.  McKeen,  of  the  Cham- 
ber of  Commerce  of  St.  Louis. 

At  the  banquet,  held  Thursday,  De- 
cember 11,  Mr.  Irish  acted  as  toast- 
master.  The  election  of  officers  resulted 
as  follows:  President,  L.  T.  Connett,  of 
St.  Joseph;  vice-president,  H.  C.  Irish, 
of  St.  Louis;  second  vice-president,  F. 
B.  Mumford,  of  Columbia;  third  vice- 
president,  E.  L.  Beal,  of  Republic;  hon- 
orary vice-president,  C.  H.  Durcher,  of 
Warrenaburg;  treasurer,  D.  Lowmiller, 
of  Parkville,  and  secretary,  H.  S.  Way- 
man,  of  Princeton. 

All  apples  on  exhibition  that  were 
found  worthy  will  be  sent  to  Columbia 
to  be  exhibited  at  the  Farmers'  week 
apple  show,  January  19  to  23,  1920. 

Various  Notes. 

December  11  Chairman  Bourdet,  of 
the  local  branch  of  the  national  flower 
show  committee,  held  a  meeting  with 
George  Asmus,  chairman  of  the  na- 
tional flower  show  committee,  at  a  din- 
ner at  the  Planters'  hotel  to  talk  over 
prospects  of  holding  the  show  in  St. 
Louis  in  1921.  St.  Louis  can  have  the 
show,  said  Mr.  Asmus,  but  we  must  pro- 
vide a  hall  containing  at  least  180,000 
square  feet  of  space.  There  were  pres- 
ent, besides   the  guest  of  honor,  Jules

J.  D.  OABMODY. 

INVENTIVENESS,  in  both  wit  and  mechanics,  has  characterized  the  long  career 
of  J.  D.  Carmod.v,  or  Colonel  Carmody,  now  84  years  old,  whose  bright  speeches 
at  S.  A.  F.  conventions  are  perhaps  as  well  known  as  the  Carmody  hot  water  boiler 
and  the  Carmody  ventilating  machine.  Colonel  Carmody  was  born  May  31,  1835, 
at  Utica,  N.  Y.  His  parents  died  during  his  early  childhood.  He  served  during 
the  Civil  war  and  was  discharged  from  the  army  at  Fortress  Monroe;  there  he  met 
Miss  Connor,  whom  he  married.  They  moved  to  Evansville,  Ind.,  where  they  estab- 
lished a  millinery  store;  that  proved  successful  and  Mr.  Carmody  started  in  the 
florists'  business  on  Water  street,  later  moving  to  Hull's  Hill.  About  1890  he 
sold  his  business  to  Julius  Niednagel  and  William  Halbrooks.  His  inventions, 
made  at  this  time,  were  developed  by  men  whose  ability  lay  more  in  the  business 
field  than  did  his.  He  was  a  charter  member  of  the  S.  A.  F.  and  the  first  president 
of  the  Indiana  State  Florists'  Association.  His  wife  died  twenty  years  ago  and 
his  adopted  daughter,  Miss  Bessie  Long,  lias  been  in  recent  years  his  constant  aid. 
The  trade  lately  received  with  welcome  the  news  that  Mr.  Carmody  was  again  in 
health  after  having  been  critically  ill  for  some  time  in  the  liospital. 


Bourdet,  A.  H.  Hummert,  A.  S.  Cernv, 
Oscar  Ruff,  L.  P.  Jensen,  W.  C.  Smith, 
W.  J.  Pilcher  and  J.  J.  Beneke.  Dur- 
ing the  evening  the  prospects  of  holding 
the  show  in  St.  Louis  in  1921  were  fully 
discussed,  and  it  will  be  up  to  the  S. 
A.  F.  executive  committee  at  its  next 
meeting  to  decide. 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Guy  Reburn,  of  Chi- 
cago, were  guests  at  a  birthday  party 
given  by  Mrs.  F.  W.  Bruenig  December 
5,  at  her  home  on  Gravois  avenue.  Out- 
side of  the  two  guests  it  was  a  family 
affair. 

L.  P.  Jensen,  president  of  the  St. 
Louis  Gardeners'  Association,  says  the 
membership  of  the  society  now  numbers 


12.").  He  reports  that  he  is  now  con- 
nected with  the  Missouri  Botanical  Gar- 
den and  divides  his  time  between  the 
botanical  garden  and  the  Busch  estatOj 
of  which  he  is  head  gardener. 

The  Siebel  Floral  Co.,  on  Labadie  ave- 
nue, has  branched  out  and  has  opened 
a  retail  store  at  1508  Cass  avenue  un- 
der the  name  of  Driemeyer  &  Siebel. 
Many  years  back  this  same  store  was 
run  by  Grimm  &  Gorly. 

Most  of  the  members  of  the  publicity 
committee  failed  to  report  at  the  meet- 
ing held  December  9,  owing  to  zero 
weather;  only  five  out  of  seventeen 
members  braved  the  cold  night  and 
transacted   such   business   as   came   be-

fore  them.  The  placing  of  several  large 
advertisements  in  the  daily  papers  for 
the  holidays  was  approved  of.  No  more 
meetings  of  this  committee  will  be  held 
until  the  second  Tuesday  in  the  new 
year. 

Contracts  were  let  this  week  for  the 
remodeling  of  the  4-8tory  building  at 
712  Washington  avenue,  which  will  be 
the  new  home  of  Grimm  &  Gorly  and 
into  which  they  will  move  the  latter 
part  of  January,  to  be  open  for  busi- 
ness in  the  nfiw  place  February  1,  1920. 
The  exterior  of  the  building  will  be  re- 
modeled, with  huge  cement  flower  boxes 
in  tiers  running  parallel  to  each  floor. 
They  will  be  filled  the  entire  year  with 
seasonable  plants  and  flowers.  A  canopy 
of  bronze  and  glass  will  project  over 
the  doorway.  The  first  two  floors  will 
be  used  as  salesrooms  and  will  be  dec- 
orated with  plastic  reliefs,  crystal  chan- 
deliers of  distinctive  design  and  floors 
of  French  tile.  A  large  display  of  wicker 
ware  and  sun-room  decorations  will  be 
shown  on  the  second  floor. 

C.  Young  &  Sons  Co.  furnished  the 
floral  decorations  for  the  opening  of  the 
new  Night  and  Day  bank  in  the  Odd 
Fellows'  building  on  Olive  and  Ninth 
streets.  Many  floral  baskets  were  sent 
by  friends  of  the  bank  and,  as  usual  at 
openings  of  this  kind,  it  looked  like  a 
flower  show. 

Guy  Eeburn,  of  Chicago,  who  spent  a 
week  here  calling  on  the  local  trade, 
says  he  never  experienced  a  more  pros- 
perous business  week  than  he  did  here. 
M.  C.  Wright,  of  the  Chicago  office  of 
the  Lord  &  Burnham  Co.,  and  Martin 
Eeukauf,  representing  H.  Bayersdorfer 
&  Co.,  Philadelphia,  also  called  on  the 
trade  last  week  with  excellent  results. 

All  the  wholesale  houses  that  handle 
supplies  say  their  shipping  and  local 
trade  this  year  is  away  beyond  expec- 
tations. Red  frieze,  red  ruscus  and 
made-up  magnolia  wreaths  have  the 
greatest  call,  and  the  supply  is  running 
low.  Judging  from  advance  orders, 
Christmas  demand  for  cut  stock  will  be 
larger  than  ever. 

The  Florists'  Bowling  League  held  a 
fine  bowling  session  December  10  on 
the  new  alleys.  During  the  evening 
the  Carnations  met  the  Sweet  Peas  and 
suffered  defeat  in  two  of  the  three 
games,  while  the  Roses  won  the  odd 
game  from  the  Daisies,  thus  breaking 
the  tie  for  first  place  with  the  Carna- 
tions. Frank  Plotz,  of  the  Sweet  Peas, 
was  high  man  with  621,  an  average  of 
207  per  game.  After  this  week's  bowl- 
ing the  league  will  not  bowl  again  until 
the  first  Wednesday  night  in  the  new 
year.  J.  J.  B. 


NEW  YOEK. 


The  Market. 

There  is  little  change  to  be  reported 
in  the  flower  market  this  week.  The 
supply  of  flowers  is  barely  sufficient  to 
meet  the  demand,  which  is  not  more 
than  normal.  The  heavy  supply  of 
chrysanthemums,  which  has  been  a  fea- 
ture of  the  market  for  many  weeks,  is 
no  longer  to  be  reckoned  with  and  the 
supply  of  other  seasonable  and  staple 
items  does  not  seem  to  balance  the  situ- 
ation; consequently,  the  market  faces 
a  shortage  which  will  be  hard  to  over- 
come. 

Poinsettias  are  beginning  to  arrive, 
but  thus  early  they  are  moved  only  for 
window  display.  The  quality  is  fine  and 
,later  there  will  doubtless  be  a  good  de- 
mand for  them. 

Roses  are  not  overplentiful  and  in  the 
short  grades  there  is  hardly  sufficient 
stock  to  meet  requirements.  American 
Beauty  is  in  fair  supply  and  moves  well, 
even  at  prices  which  might  be  consid- 
ered at  the  holiday  point,  the  best  spe- 
cials bringing  $125  per  hundred.  Hybrid 
teas  are  active  in  movement,  although 
top  grades  require  a  little  pushing,  the 
supply  of  these  being  much  larger  than 
of  the  other  sizes.  The  quality  gener- 
ally is  of  high  order. 

Carnations  are  not  plentiful  and  prices 
continue  high,  sales  ranging  from  $10 
to  $12  per  hundred  for  the  best,  with 
$15  being  asked  for  selected  stock  of 
Mrs.  C.  W.  Ward  and  the  reds.  It  is« 
quite  evident  that  the  production  of 
these  popular  flowers  is  much  curtailed 
this  season. 

Orchids  continue  scarce  and  high  and 
no  change  in  this  condition  is  looked  for 
in  the  near  future.    Cattleyas  are  bring- 
ing   $2    and    more,    and    are    quickly 
snapped  up.     Much  of  the  stock  avail- 
able is  sold  before  arrival.     The  same 
condition    applies   to    gardenias.      It    is 
rather  a  question  on  the  buyer's  part  of 
"How  many  may  I  have?"  than  of  the 
wholesaler's     "How     many    will     you 
take?"      The    price    for    good    flowers 
seems  to  be  $1  each,  with  75  cents  for 
culls   and    imperfect   flowers.     Cypripe- 
diums   sell  fairly  well  at  $3   to  $6  per 
dozen. 

There  is  a  small  supply  of  Easter 
lilies,  which  command  25  cents  per  bud 
and  flower,  meeting  ready  sale  for  wed- 
ding work.  Rubrums  bring  $6  to  $12 
and  albums  $6  to  $10  per  hundred.  Lily 
of  the  valley  is  scarce,  the  price  range 
still  being  about  20  cents  to  30  cents  per 
spray,  with  selected  sprays  as  much  as 
40  cents. 


DELATED  DELIVERY. 

The  postal  service,  once  the  pride  of  the  people  of  the  United  States, 
suffered  seriously  during  the  war.  It  never  came  all  the  way  back.  Mod- 
erately prompt  handling  of  letter  mail  was  attained,  but  at  the  expense  of 
publishers,  who  are  charged  three  times  the  pre-war  rates  for  a  vastly  in- 
ferior service. 

Disruption  of  train  schedules  because  of  attempts  at  fuel  conservation, 
coming  during  severe  weather  and  at  the  time  of  the  Christmas  rush,  has 
completed  the  disorganization  of  publishers'  mails.  Posted  each  Thursday 
with  the  greatest  regularity,  the  delivery  of  The  Review  to  its  subscribers 
has  passed  wholly  beyond  the  publisher's  control. 

Because  the  next  two  mailing  days  fall  on  Christmas  and  New  Year's,  The 
Review  will  be  printed  one  day  early  and  mailed  on  Wednesdays  for  the 
next  two  weeks. 

By  the  time  the  succeeding  issue  goes  into  the  mails,  January  8,  it  is 
hoped  conditions  will  be  more  nearly  normal  and  that  some  degree  of  prompt- 
ness and  regularity  in  delivery  can  be  maintained. 


Sweet  peas  are  only  in  moderate  sup- 
ply, the  dark,  muggy  weather  causing 
a  wholesale  dropping  of  buds.  With 
many  growers  of  peas  the  Christmas 
supply  is  likely  to  be  quite  short.  The 
price  range  is  $2  to  $6,  the  latter  figure 
for  long-stemmed  sprays. 

There  is  a  small  supply  of  snapdrag- 
ons, mostly  short-stemmed  stock,  at  $1 
to  $2  per  bunch.  Callas  are  a  little 
more  plentiful  and  move  fairly  well  at 
$2  to  $4  per  dozen.  Calendulas,  wall- 
flowers, a  few  pansies,  forget-me-nots, 
mignonette  and  pink  bouvardia  are 
among  the  offerings,  and  clean  up  well. 
Stevia  is  in  good  supply;  the  average 
price  is  $1  for  three  bunches. 

Christmas  greens  are  plentiful,  with 
the  exception  of  lycopodium,  which  is 
extremely  scarce.  A  shipper  in  town 
recently  stated  tJiat  he  cannot  get  pick-  / 
ers  even  at  15  cents  per  pound,  about 
three  times  as  much  as  is  usually  paid. 
Holly  is  bringing  $7  per  case  and  Christ-  ^ 
mas  trees  are  offered  at  $1.50  per 
bundle. 

Various  Notes. 

Bassi  Freres  have  opened  a  retail  store 
at  202  Main  street.  New  Rochelle.  The 
building  is  new,  of  green  granite  and 
white  marble,  three  stories  high,  and  the 
store  appointments  are  quite  up-to-date. 
The  American  Greenhouse  Mfg.  Co., 
Chicago,  is  erecting  a  greenhouse  for 
show  purposes  in  connection  with  the 
store. 

C.  C.  Trepel,  at  Bloomingdale's,  last 
week  featured  the  Von  Tilzer  "Say  It 
with  Flowers"  song,  a  rendition  being 
given  eight  times  daily  by  a  lady  vocal- 
ist, accompanied  by  an  orchestra  of  six 
pieces.  Miniature  reproductions  of  the 
title-page  of  the  song,  with  a  score  of 
the  chorus,  were  distributed  generously 
and  the  piece  made  a  considerable  hit. 

There  were  two  or  three  mettings  of 
wholesale  florists  last  week  to  consider 
projects  for  the  housing  of  the  various 
interests.  One  project  was  the  leasing 
of  a  large  portion  of  the  ground  floor 
in  one  of  the  abandoned  department 
stores  on  Sixth  avenue,  but  it  is  not 
learned  that  any  definite  action  has  been 
decided  upon. 

A.  L.  Young  has  commenced  work  on 
the  basement  of  the  Coogan  building, 
which  he  will  remodel  to  meet  require- 
ments to  accommodate  three  or  four 
wholesalers. 

George  E.  M.  Stumpp  has  been  elected 
president  of  the  Associated  Retail 
Florists  of  New  York.  The  organiza- 
tion holds  weekly  meetings  at  the  Penn- 
sylvania hotel. 

It  seems  likely  that  the  ladies'  night 
of  the  Now  York  Florists'  Club  will  be 
held  on  a  date  different  from  the  one 
decided  upon  at  the  last  meeting  of  the 
club,  the  business  of  the  club  on  the 
night  selected  making  the  change  im- 
perative. J.  H.  P. 


CHRYSANTHEMUM  SOCIETY. 


Work  of  the   Committees. 

An  examining  committee  of  the  C. 
S.  A.  has  submitted  a  report  on  a  new

and  in  the  same  proportions.  With 
either,  great  care  should  be  taken  in 
handling  it  and  the  fumes  should  not  be 
inhaled. 

If  your  local  druggists  do  not  carry 
either  sodium  or  potassium  cyanide, 
they  should  at  least  be  able  to  procure 
the  former  from  some  wholesale  house 
in  Chicago  or  St.  Louis.  Care  should 
be  taken  to  obtain  a  grade  that  is  nearly 
chemically  pure.  L.  E.  T. 


BIOABD  QEBANIUMS. 

We  are  sending  you  a  sample  plant 
of  Eicard  geraniums,  or  such  we  believe 
it  to  be.  We  have  been  shipping  it  with 
the  Eicard  label  for  several  years  and 
yesterday  had  a  complaint  that  it  was 
not  true  to  name.  We  are  also  sending 
its  flowers.  They  are  all  from  2-inch 
stock  and  consequently  small. 

V.  V,  G.— 0. 


If  the  geranium  is  not  Alphonse  Eic- 
ard it  closely  resembles  it,  but  the  speci- 
mens were  so  dried  up  when  received 
that  it  was  almost  impossible  to  tell 
what  variety  it  is.  I  would  suggest 
that  V.  V.  G.  buy  a  few  Eicards  from 
a  geranium  specialist  and  compare  them 
with  the  stock  he  has  on  hand. 

The  variety  Decorator  greatly  re- 
sembles Alphonse  Eicard  and  is  often 
substituted  for  it.  M.  P. 


SCAU)   ON  GERANIUMS. 

I  am  sending  you  some  leaves  and 
stems  of  ivy-leaved  geraniums.  Please 
tell  me  what  is  the  trouble  with  them 
and  what  the  remedy  is.  These  have 
been  growing  in  the  same  house  where 
other  geraniums  and  many  other  plants 
are  growing  without  any  trouble. 

K.  G.— Pa. 


The  leaves  and  stems  of  the  ivy-leaved 
geraniums  have  every  appearance  of  be- 
ing affected  with  some  kind  of  scald, 
such  as  would  come  from  the  action  of 
the  bright  sun  on  the  plants  after  a  pe- 
riod of  dark  days  and  excessive  mois- 
ture. Also,  if  the  plants  are  standing  on 
coal  ashes,  the  action  of  the  sun  on  the 
wet  ashes  will  cause  a  gas  to  rise  from 
them,  affecting  the  plants  in  the  same 
manner  as  were  the  specimens  sent.  I 
have  seen  a  similar  trouble  stop  when 
limestone  screenings  were  used  in  place 
of  coal  ashes  for  the  plants  to  stand  on. 

M.  P. 


GBUBWOBMS  AND   GERANIUMS. 

Please  tell  me  some  way  to  kill  grub- 
worms  in  outdoor  flower  beds.  Gera- 
niums were  planted  in  the  beds  and  were 
eaten  off  at  the  roots.  Too  much  fresh 
manure  was  mixed  with  the  soil,  but 
this  is  the  second  year  and  the  worms 
were  as  bad  this  year  as  last. 

M.  G.  A.— Kan. 


About  the  only  thing  to  advise  for 
these  grubs  at  this  season  of  the  year 
is  to  work  up  the  beds  well,  if  you  can, 
and  allow  them  to  remain  open  all  win- 
ter, then  when  spring  comes,  give  an- 
other working  up,  paying  close  atten- 
tion to  catch  any  grubs  or  May  beetles 
that  are  found  when  turning  over  the 
soil.  If  the  beds  are  surrounded  with 
sod,  that  is  the  place  where  a  great  many 
of  the  grubs  will  be  found.  Sometimes 
it  becomes  necessary  to  remove  the  sod 
directly   around    the    beds    and    replace 


with  fresh  sod  before  the  grubs  can  be 
got  rid  of. 

It  will  not  do  any  harm  to  give  the 
beds  a  dressing  of  fresh  lime  before 
working  them  up.  If  it  can  be  done,  it 
would  be  well  to  change  the  planting 
to  some  other  plants  than  geraniums  for 
a  season  or  two.  M.  P. 


OBTAINING  CYANIDE. 

Where  can  we  obtain  cyanide  at  a 
reasonable  price  for  fumigating  pur- 
poses? S.  &  W.— Mo. 


Potassium  cyanide  has  been  difficult 
to  obtain  during  the  last  three  years, 
but  sodium  cyanide  answers  the  same 
purpose  and  is  generally  available.  It 
is  used  the  same  as  potassium  cyanide 


THOMASVILLE,  GA. 

Mrs.  W.  A.  Wells  has  erected  a  green- 
house on  Smith  avenue.  She  has  recent- 
ly joined  the  F.  T.  D.  Association. 

P.  J.  Hjort,  who  has  for  twenty-one 
years  conducted  the  Thomasville  Nurs- 
eries, has  taken  into  partnership  his 
son,  S.  C.  Hjort.  They  are  preparing  to 
do  an  increased  retail  business. 

George  and  Jack  Willis  have  erected 
two  greenhouses  two  miles  east  of 
Thomasville  and  will  grow  flowers,  veg- 
etables and  nursery  stock.  The  new 
firm  will  be  known  as  the  Cottage  Gar- 
dens. 

The  nurseries  of  B.  W.  Stone  and  the 
Southern  Nut  Tree  Nurseries,  both 
growers  of  papershell  pecan  trees  ex- 
clusively, report  unusually  heavy  sales; 
already  many  sizes  and  varieties  are 
sold  closely.  S.  C.  H.

POLLINATING   TOMATOES. 

We  should  like  to  know  if  there  is  an 
artificial  way  to  carry  pollen  on  toma- 
toes under  glass.  In  other  words,  how 
can  we  make  them  set?     B.  B. — Mich. 


From  November  until  March  toma- 
toes set  better  if  given  some  artificial 
pollination.  This  is  accomplished  when 
only  a  small  number  of  plants  are  grown 
by  using  a  camel 's-hair  brush,  rabbit's 
tail  or  piece  of  cotton  wool  tied  on  the 
end  of  a  stick  and  lightly  brushing  it 
over  the  open  flowers.  The  pollen  masses 
will  be  carried  in  this  way  from  flower 
to  flower.  Where  quantities  of  plants 
are  grown,  if  the  plants  are  shaken  well 
about  noon  (on  clear  days,  if  possible), 
pollen  will  be  scattered  and  fulfill  the 
same  purpose.  Tomatoes  need  a  dry 
atmosphere  and  will  not  set  well  un- 
less a  minimum  of  60  degrees  can  be 
maintained  in  winter.  C.  W. 


there  is  little  danger  of  burning  the 
tips  of  the  foliage.  The  formula  for 
this  gas  has  been  frequently  given  in 
The  Eeview  and  I  would  recommend 
you  to  try  it.  A  second  application  may 
be  necessary  if  you  find  any  worms  alive 
a  few  days  after  the  first  one.  Hydro- 
cyanic acid  gas  is  deadly  and  must  be 
used  with  the  greatest  care.        C.  W. 


WORMS  ON  LETTUCE. 

I  am  sending  a  small  box  containing 
worms  which  I  find  on  my  lettuces  in 
the  greenhouses.  They  have  eaten  all 
the  plants  on  one  bed  and  are  also  on 
the  other  beds.  Can  you  tell  me  what 
to  use  to  get  rid  of  them?  I  always 
find  them  on  the  under  side  of  the 
plants.  I  have  tried  tobacco  smoke, 
tobacco  juice,  weak  formaldehyde,  etc., 
without  results.  N.  F.  C— O. 


SCORCHED    LETTUCE. 

I  am  sending  you  under  separate  cover 
two  lettuce  plants.  The  leaves  of  more 
than  half  of  my  plants  have  turned 
brown,  as  in  the  case  of  the  samples. 
I  started  to  paint  my  hot  water  pipes 
with  a  tar  paint  recommended  by  a 
paint  manufacturer,  but  then  I  noticed 
in  The  Eeview  that  tar  paint  should 
not  be  used  and  consequently  stopped 
after  about  fifty  feet  of  pipe  had  been 
covered.  Every  time  I  fire  up,  the  paint 
can  be  smelled.  Could  that  be  the  cause 
of  the  trouble  and,  if  so,  how  can  it  be 
remedied?  S.  H.— O. 


The  worms  were  pretty  well  dried  up 
when  received  and  I  could  not  identify 
them.  The  only  remedy  which  would  be 
likely  to  completely  clean  out  these 
pests  would  be  hydrocyanic  acid  gas. 
When   carefully    used   in    cool    weather 


The  foliage  shows  every  appearance 
of  having  been  scorched  and  there  is 
little  doubt  that  the  paint  you  used  is 
responsible.  The  best  thing  to  do  is  to 
secure  some  paint  remover  and  clean  off 
the  cause  of  the  injury  as  promptly  as 
possible.  As  a  preservative  for  your 
pipes,  I  would  suggest  coating  them 
with  lampblack  and  linseed  oil,  heating 
the  pipes  well  in  order  to  dry  it  before 
planting  your  crops.  Lampblack  will 
scorch  fronds  on  adiantums  and  some 
other  plants  when  houses  arc  closed  up 
tightly,  but  not  where  ventilation  is 
provided  for  a  few  days  after  the  lamp- 
black has  been  applied.  C.  W.

RESULTS. 

We  give  them.    You  get  them. 

We  both  have  them. 

It  will  be  a  merrier  Christmas  with 
the  coal  strike  settled. 

Many  are  the  reports  of  plantsmen  who 
are  already  sold  out  for  Clu-istmas. 

Publicity  is  changing  the  flower-buy- 
ing season  from  a  3 -month  interval  to  an 
all-year  period. 

Put  Paper  White  narcissi  in  the  Christ- 
mas corsages  of  violets  where  you  for- 
merly put  valley. 

Scarcity  of  fuel  has  limited  the  pot 
manufacturers  to  such  an  extent  that 
there  is  a  serious  shortage. 

Dark  days,  zero  weather  and  fuel  re- 
striction have  combined  to  check  cut  flow- 
er production  this  month. 

Trade  prognosticators  see  in  the  scar- 
city of  sugar  and  consequent  diminution 
of  candy  supplies  a  stimulus  for  flower 
sales  at  Christmas. 

Those  who  last  summer  postponed 
building  more  glass  on  account  of  the 
high  prices  are  coming  to  the  belief  now 
that  it  would  have  been  money  well  in- 
vested. 

Growers,  following  the  lead  of  other 
sorts  of  manufacturers,  find  advertising 
valuable  to  stimulate  general  demand  for 
their  products.  Hence  their  enthusiasm 
for  the  cooperative  campaigns. 

President  J.  F.  Ammann's  project  of 
a  national  association  of  growers,  which 
received  much  favor  upon  its  proposal  at 
Detroit,  will  be  launched  at  the  time  of 
the  American  Carnation  Society's  meet- 
ing in  Chicago,  January  21  and  22, 

The  changes  in  rules  regarding  the 
packing  of  express  shipments  which  went 
into  effect  last  week  do  not  affect  the 
trade.  Briefly,  the  provisions  are  that 
shipments  weighing  over  twenty-five 
pounds  shall  be  packed  in  containers  of  a 
requisite  strength. 

The  notice  sent  out  by  the  Illinois  State 
Florists'  Association  set  the  date  of  its 
meeting  in  Chicago  as  January  29,  which 
is  just  one  week  too  late.  The  dates  of 
the  meeting  and  exhibition  of  the  Ameri- 
can Carnation  Society,  with  which  the 
state  meeting  will  be  held,  have  been 
changed  to  January  21  and  22,  to  avoid 
conflict  with  the  automobile  show  and  ob- 
tain better  hotel  accommodations  therebv. 


Is  the  trade's  publicity  outdistancing 
its  production? 

When  prices  are  up  the  rest  of  the  year, 
there  is  no  complaint  from  the  public  of 
high  prices  at  holidays. 

There  seems  to  be  small  chance  of  an 
adequate  supply  of  stock  for  the  spring 
trade.  It  wiU  be  in  line  for  every 
grower  to  propagate  industriously,  to 
produce  all  he  can. 

It  is  to  its  friends  The  Eeview  is  in- 
debted for  its  continuous  growth  in  cir- 
culation. For  several  years  most  of  the 
new  names  have  gone  on  the  list  because 
some  reader  has  recommended  The  Re- 
view to  his  neighbor. 

There  is  a  general  report  in  the  trade 
that  wealthy  people  are  inclined  to  curtail 
expenditures  and  that  the  recent  increase 
in  flower  buying  is  due  to  the  activities  of 
wage-earners,  who  have  not  heretofore  had

of  fuel  cut  off  the  wage-earners '  income. 
There  the  trade  finds  business  not  so 
good.  Yet,  the  country  over,  bumper 
holiday  sales  are  expected. 


FLORISTS  WILL  GET  FUEL, 

The  grave  situation  of  the  greenhouse 
industry  was  realized  by  the  fuel  au- 
thorities when  they  lifted  the  restric- 
tions which  had  previously  confined  the 
delivery  of  coal  to  governmental  insti- 
tutions and  offices  and  to  public  utilities. 
When  additions  were  made,  the  green- 
housemen  were  placed  sixth  upon  the 
list,  ahead  even  of  manufacturers  of 
food  products.  The  industries  were 
designated  in  the  following  order: 

(1)  Railroads;  (2)  army,  navy  and 
other  departments  of  federal  govern- 
ment; (3)  state  and  county  depart- 
ments and  institutions;  (4)  public  util- 
ities; (5)  retail  dealers;  (6)  green- 
houses; (7)  cold  storage  plants;  (8) 
meat  packing  establishments;  (9)  cream- 
eries and  other  manufacturers  of  perish- 
able food  products;  (10)  grain  eleva- 
tors; (11)  beet  sugar  plants;  (12)  manu- 
facturers of  news  print  paper;  (13) 
manufacturers  of  yeast. 

Florists  whose  cars  of  coal  were 
seized  in  transit  and  now  find  their  piles 
low  will,  it  appears,  have  the  assistance 
of  the  fuel  committees  in  securing  their 
requirements. 

COAL  AND  CHRISTMAS. 

The  return  of  the  coal  miners  to  their 
work  and  the  removal  of  the  fuel  re- 
strictions turned  a  gloomy  outlook  for 
Christmas  into  a  much  brighter  one. 
It  is  for  some  not  so  bright  as  it  was 
before  the  fuel  shortage  occurred,  for 
lowered  temperature  delayed  stock  so 
that  it  will  now  miss  the  holidays.  This 
hardship  operates  only  in  a  few  locali- 
ties and  in  individual  cases,  for  most 
growers  were  sufficiently  supplied  wdth 
coaL  The  absence  of  this  stock,  how- 
ever, will  aggravate  the  scarcity  that 
has  been  anticipated  for  Christmas.  In- 
ability to  secure  stock  to  fill  orders  is 
the  matter  that  is  giving  retailers  most 
concern  as  the  Yuletide  nears.  Both 
plants  and  cut  blooms  will  be  sold  out, 
it  is  expected,  ere  the  rush  is  ended. 

But  such  conditions  are  greatly  to  be 
preferred  to  the  possibility  of  doing 
business  under  the  handicap  of  short- 
ened hours,  dimly  lit  and  chilly  stores 
and  curtailed  transportation,  which  flo- 
rists faced  a  week  ago.  The  public, 
relieved  from  the  hardships  it  contem- 
plated so  shortly  since,  is  purchas- 
ing for  Christmas  more  freely  than  ever, 
except,  of  course,  in  those  communities 
where  the  closing  of  factories  for  lack 


PINK  PART  JUST  TWO. 

The  Pink  Part  celebrates  its  second 
birthday  this  week.  The  retailers'  de- 
partment of  The  Review  made  its  first 
appearance  on  rosy  tinted  paper  Decem- 
ber 20,  1917.  But  my,  how  it's  grown! 
On  that  first  appearance  it  was  sixteen 
pages  in  size  and  included  310  florists. 
Last  week,  when  it  completed  its  second 
year,  the  Pink  Part  tightly  filled  forty 
pages  and  included  563  florists.  The 
increase  in  space  occupied  was  150  per 
cent.  And  the  increase  in  number  of 
florists  was  253,  or  roughly  eighty  per 
cent.  This  week  the  Pink  Part  again 
fills  forty  pages  and  has  five  additional 
names,  or  a  total  of  568  retailers  who 
advertise  their  ability  to  handle  tele- 
graph orders  through  The  Review.  The 
growth  of  the  trade  and  the  growth  of 
the  telegraph  delivery  business  is  well 
reflected  in  this  birthday  comparison, 
for  The  Review  is  the  paper  that  grows 
with  the  trade. 


GENERAL  AVERAGE. 

Perhaps  the  highest  commanding  gen- 
eral on  the  staff  of  business  in  war  or 
peace  is  that  important  figure  "General 
Average."  The  individual  in  the  ranks 
who  strives  to  go  contrary  to  the  dic- 
tates of  that  old  warrior  usually  finds 
he  has  little  success.  General  average 
rules. 

This  idea  is  a  serious  one  for  the 
grower  who  sends  stock  to  the  whole- 
sale market.  If  his  blooms  are  of  uni- 
formly good  quality,  his  general  aver- 
age in  returns  will  be  high.  But  if 
amid  flowers  of  the  better  sort  are 
mixed  culls  and  cripples,  the  price  per 
flower  will  be  lower.  And  not  slightly 
lower,  but,  so  the  grower  thinks,  much 
lower. 

Though  the  culls  and  cripples  count  in 
number  on  the  production  books,  they 
do  not  count  in  the  returns — except  as 
they  count  against  the  one  who  sends 
them  in.  Retailers  do  not  buy  them; 
they  pay  for  good  stock  and  ask  for 
that  in  bunches  that  are  uniformly  of 
liigh  quality.  Culls  and  cripples  lower 
the  general  average  of  the  growers'  re- 
turns; if  he  left  them  out  his  produc- 
tion count  might  shrink,  but  the  gen- 
oral  average  would  be  higher. 


BUSINESS    EMBARRASSMENTS.

who  formerly  conducted  the  flower  shop 
in  the  Muehlebach  hotel,  filed  a  petition

December*  5,  He  has  126  creditors,  to 
whom  he  owes  $7,731.70.  His  total  as- 
sets are  $1,240.55. 


STRONG  WORDS. 


When  a  man  of  known  conserva- 
tism uses  strong  words,  they  become 
even  stronger  than  usual.     Like  this: 

The  results  we  have  obtained  through  our  re-

burgh Cut  Flower  Co.,  by  T.  P.  Langhans,  secre- 
tary,   December  5,   1919. 

If  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.

OBITUARY 


Mark  F.  Kyle. 

Mark  F.  Kyle,  one  of  the  oldest  flo- 
rists and  gardeners  in  the  middle  west, 
passed  away  December  12,  at  Chicago. 
Mr.  Kyle  was  83  years  of  age.  He  was 
born  in  Scotland  and  came  to  America 
in  1861,  locating  at  St.  Louis.  After 
a  short  time  he  removed  to  Chicago  and 
was  for  many  years  with  John  Good  & 
Co.,  afterwards  Andrew  McAdams,  the 
business  now  conducted  by  William  La 
Grotta.  During  his  later  active  years 
he  had  charge  of  the  Charles  Eeisig 
place  at  Riverside.  He  retired  in  1912 
to  make  his  home  with  his  only  son, 
William  P.  Kyle,  5435  Lake  Park  ave- 
nue, Chicago,  where  he  died.  The 
funeral  was  held  December  15,  inter- 
ment being  at  Mount  Greenwood  ceme- 
tery. Among  the  pallbearers  were 
Charles  Klehm,  William  La  Grotta  and 
William  Kidwell.  There  were  many 
flowers,  attesting  the  high  esteem  in 
which  the  deceased  and  the  family  are 
held. 

John  Kent. 

John  Kent,  of  Knoxville,  Tenn,,  one 
of  the  oldest  florists  and  gardeners  in 
the  state,  died  December  8  at  the  age  of 
87  years.  He  was  born  in  Harnston, 
Lincolnshire,  England,  in  May,  1832, 
and  came  to  this  country  early  in  life. 
For  many  years  he  was  manager  of  the 
Island  Home  Gardens,  near  Knoxville, 
later  joining  the  growing  staff  of  the 
C.  W.  Crouch  Co.  During  the  later 
years  of  his  active  life  he  held  a  posi- 
tion at  the  greenhouses  of  Baum  's  Home 
of  Flowers.  He  retired  from  active 
service  about  five  years  ago  and  since 
then  had  spent  most  of  the  time  in 
Florida.  At  the  funeral  services  Decem- 
ber 10  there  were  some  beautiful  floral 
tributes  from  friends  in  the  trade  and 
others.  R.  E.  M. 

John  J.  Wade. 

John  J.  Wade  died  at  his  home  in 
Carbondale,  Pa.,  November  6,  at  the 
age  of  66  years.  Mr.  Wade  had  been 
in  business  in  Carbondale  for  the  last 
thirty  years.  He  is  survived  by  his 
wife,  four  sons  and  three  daughters, 
who  will  cooperate  to  continue  the  busi- 
ness. 


WASHINGTON,  D.  C. 


The  Market. 

Stock  was  scarce  last  week  and  prices 
advanced  on  all  kinds.  Carnations  are 
bringing  from  $10  to  $12  per  hundred 
and  orchids  are  selling  at  from  $1.75  to 
$2  each.  Business  has  been  good  and  all 
available  stock  was  cleaned  right  up  at 
good  prices.  From  present  indications, 
stock  will  be  tight  for  some  time.  Out- 
of-town  orders  for  Christmas  are  coming 
in  fast.  The  orchid  situation  has  im- 
proved somewhat,  but  the  outlook  for 
Christmas  is  not  bright.  Sweet  peas 
have  shown  a  decrease  and  there  has 
been  a  large  demand  for  violets. 

Various  Notes. 

The  Louise  Flower  Shop  has  an  inter- 
esting and  attractive  display,  which 
puts  the  ability  of  the  F.  T.  D.  Associa- 
tion right  before  the  eyes  of  the  public. 
Miss  Daugh3rty  has  had  a  complete  tel- 


egraph outfit  installed  by  the  Western 
Union  Telegraph  Co.  to  connect  two  min- 
iature cities  which  she  has  arranged  in 
her  window.  The  outfit  consists  of  an 
instrument  in  each  city  and  is  connect- 
ed up  ready  for  immediate  use.  The 
display  is  complete  in  every  detail,  in- 
cluding the  wiring  and  small  telegraph 
poles  between  the  towns.  At  night  the 
little  towns  are  brightly  illuminated  and 
when  the  instruments  are  working  the 
exhibit  shows  how  the  orders  are  flashed 
from  one  part  of  the  country  to  another 
in  a  short  time.  Large  crowds  are  on 
hand  most  of  the  time  to  view  and  study 
this  unusual  display. 

George  C.  Shaffer  had  large  decorat- 
ing jobs  at  the  Merchants'  Bank  of  this 
city  and  at  the  Washington  Club.  He 
has  a  large  amount  of  funeral  work  on 
hand  and  was  busy  last  week  with  sev- 
eral distinguished  weddings. 

It  has  not  been  mentioned  in  this  col- 
umn that  the  Oehmler  Floral  Co.  made  a 
corsage  which  was  worn  by  the  Queen 
of  Belgium  while  she  was  in  this  city. 

Albert  Schnell,  manager  of  Leo  Nies- 
sen's  Washington  store,  is  getting 
things  in  shape  to  cope  with  the  Christ- 
mas rush.  Large  quantities  of  fine  arti- 
ficial stock  as  well  as  all  other  kinds 
are  coming  in. 

F.  H.  Kramer  reports  business  good. 
His  palm  garden  is  visited  by  hundreds 
of  people  daily.  G.  V.  S. 


Gude  Bros.  Co.  ran  a  decidedly  effec- 
tive page  advertisement  in  the  local 
press.  "Say  It  with  Flowers"  appeared 
in  script  repeatedly  and  around  the  elo- 
quent copy  of  the  advertisement  ran  a 
border  of  telegrams  received  and  sent 
by  this  firm  from  and  to  all  parts  of  the 
country,  as  well  as  a  written  order  to  a 
London  firm. 


DETROIT,  MICH. 


The  Market. 

Last  week  'a  business  was  below  par. 
There  was  the  usual  sale  of  dried  flower 
Christmas  novelties  and  also  the  usual 
number  of  pricers — customers  looking 
around  and  comparing  prices.  The  sale 
of  fresh  flowers  has  been  slow,  but  fu- 
neral work  has  been  a  little  better  than 
normal  and  has  helped  to  move  the 
supply  along. 

Roses  are  in  oversupply  because  of 
the  high  prices  in  this  market,  since 
the  retailers  arc  taking  advantage  of 
the  out-of-town  growers.  The  local 
growers  seem  to  overlook  the  fact  that 
they  have  out-of-town  growers  to  com- 
pete with  or  else  they  are  preparing 
the  buyers  for  the  high  Christmas  prices 
to  come.  American  Beauties  are  poor 
in  quality,  but  they  manage  to  find  buy- 
ers. Ophelia  and  Shawyer  are  moving 
most  successfully. 

Chrysanthemums  continue  to  come  in, 
but  they  do  not  amount  to  much.  Car- 
nations of  high  quality  are  coming  in 
and  bringing  top  prices.  Paper  Whites 
find  the  demand  slow,  but  they  clear 
each  day,  since  the  supply  is  limited. 
Stevia,  calendulas,  snapdragons  and 
English  wallflowers  are  coming  to  the 
market.  Violets  are  uncertain  from  day 
to  day,  in  both  quality  and  quantity. 
Sweet  peas  are  meeting  what  is  only 
a  fair  demand,  considering  the  fine  qual- 
ity. The  market  is  well  stocked  with 
greens.

Various  Notes. 

The  Detroit  Florists'  Club  held  a 
meeting  at  the  Hotel  Statler  Tuesday 
evening,  December  16.  Professor  C.  P. 
Halligan,  of  Michigan  Agricultural 
College,  Lansing,  Mich.,  gave  an  inter- 
esting address  on  "The  Principles  of 
Plant  Growth  and  the  Chemical  Ele- 
ments in  the  Soil, ' '  and  Elmer  D.  Smith, 
Adrian,  Mich.,  who  presented  an  ex- 
hibit of  late-blooming  chrysanthemum 
novelties,  continued  his  helpful  discus- 
sion of  their  culture  and  production. 
Harry  Smith  read  an  article  on  mums 
which  he  had  first  read  to  the  club 
twenty-five  years  ago.  After  the  talks 
the  members  discussed  preparations  for 
the  Christmas  trade.  A  feature  of  the 
meeting  was  a  display  of  Hamburg 
Late  Pink  mums  by  the  Wm.  F.  Kasting 
Co.,  Buffalo,  N.  Y. 

John  Klang  has  a  new  Dodge  delivery

CHICAGO. 


The  Market. 


There  has  been  a  radical  change  in 
market  conditions  since  last  report. 
Even  before  the  heat  and  light  restric- 
tions were  canceled  the  market  had  be- 
gun to  stiffen  and  the  present  week 
opened  with  a  sharply  reduced  supply 
and  with  prices  on  the  up  grade. 

At  length  the  chrysanthemum  season 
seems  actually  to  be  passing.  Of  course 
there  still  are  quite  a  few  large  mums  ' 
and  many  pompons  still  in  the  market, 
but  the  quantity  is  so  much  less  than  it 
has  been  during  the  last  two  months 
that  the  weight  of  the  load  no  longer 
is  felt.  Also,  those  among  the  out-of- 
town  buyers  who  have  been  using  their 
own  chrysanthemums  evidently  have 
cleaned  them  out,  because  they  have  in- 
creased the  orders  sent  to  Chicago.  The 
shipping  trade  really  is  phenomenal. 
Heavy  as  were  last  season 's  shipments 
at  this  date,  the  present  volume  of  ship- 
ping is  running  ahead  of  all  previous 
records  and  the  word  comes  from  all  the 
cities  and  towns  served  by  this  market 
that  the  flower  business  never  has  been 
so  active  as  now.  It  is  not  the  same  in 
Chicago.  The  local  retailers  have  not 
been  breaking  records  during  the  first 
half  of  December. 

No  doubt  one  of  the  reasons  why  sup- 
ply  is   reduced    this   week   is   that    the 
growers  are  holding  back  for  Christmas.

Another  reason  is  that  they  nearly  all 
reduced  their  temperatures  last  week  in 
harmony  with  the  general  movement  for 
fuel  conservation.  Still  another  factor 
is  that  we  are  having  genuine  midwinter 
weather,  zero  night  after  night,  which 
always  tends  to  restrict  production.  An- 
other fact,  and  one  which  bears  strongly 
on  the  prospect  for  Christmas,  is  that  a 
number  of  rose  growers  are  going  off 
crop,  the  unseasonably  warm  weather 
early  in  November  having  set  their 
crops  ahead  to  a  point  which  will  result 
in  small  Christmas  cuts  for  them. 

With    this    combination    of    circum- 
stances, it  is  impossible  to  supply  all  the 


short  and  medium  roses  that  are  being 
called  for.  It  still  is  possible  to  furnish 
as  many  as  are  wanted  of  the  higher 
priced  grades,  for  the  simple  reason  that 
not  so  many  buyers  are  in  position  to  use 
quantities  of  the  more  expensive  grades. 
The  quality  of  roses  generally  is  excel- 
Jent  and  the  growers  now  are  sanguine; 
they  feel  that  for  the  first  time  this  sea- 
son they  are  about  to  realize  prices 
which  are  in  harmony  with  the  present 
cost  of  production. 

The  supply  of  carnations  has  not  in- 
creased. Production  is  so  light  that  it 
is  thought  growers  cannot  accumulate 
Christmas  stock  and  prices  are  advanc- 


ing. Nearly  everyone  has  come  to  the 
conclusion  that  the  supply  of  carnations 
for  Christmas  will  be  much  less  than 
the  demand  and  prices  are  being  pushed 
up  on  that  account. 

Among  the  most  plentiful  items  in  the 
market  this  week  are  Paper  Whites  and 
yellow  narcissi.  These  have  not  en- 
joyed any  great  demand,  though  most 
retailers  are  using  a  few  each  day. 
Calla  lilies  now  are  in  daily  supply  and 
selling  at  nearly  double  the  price  of 
other  years  because  of  the  absence  of 
Easter  lilies.  Stevia  is  much  less  abun- 
dant than  in  other  seasons.  Sweet  peas 
are  to  be  had,  but  not  always  on  late  or-

Tlie  Christmas  Outlook. 

It  is  almost  the  unanimous  report  that 
the  Christmas  orders  are  coming  more 
heavily  than  ever  before.  It  seems  to 
be  generally  recognized  that  the  supply 
is  not  likely  to  equal  the  demand,  espe- 
cially on  short  and  medium  roses.  So 
numerous  are  the  orders  for  these  grades 
that  many  of  the  wholesalers  have 
adopted  the  policy  of  declining  orders 
for  the  shorter  grades  except  where  a 
proportionate  quantity  of  long  stock  is 
taken  at  the  list  prices.  It  is  the  same 
with  carnations;  most  of  the  dealers  are 
making  the  bright  colors  sell  the  white 
for  Christmas.  Poinsettias  do  not  seem 
to  be  in  special  request  and  it  seems  that 
this  is  one  item  on  which  a  retailer 
could  push  with  success.  Sweet  peas 
and  violets  will  be  in  small  supply, 
though  one  or  two  commission  houses 
expect  heavy  shipments  of  violets  from 
the  Rhinebeck  district. 

Confidence  is  general  that  this  Christ- 
mas will  break  all  records  in  the  matter 
of  money.  In  the  matter  of  satisfac- 
tion, much  depends  on  the  supply  of 
stock  and  on  the  character  of  the  service 
given  by  the  express  company.    Except

for  one  interval  during  a  zero  spell,  the 
express  service  recently  has  been  quite 
fair.  Everybody  hopes  it  will  not  break 
under  the  strain  of  the  holiday  rush. 

Christmas  Greens. 

There  never  has  been  a  Christmas  for 
which  such  huge  quantities  of  artificial 
material  have  been  bought  as  is  the  case 
this  year.  The  reason  is  the  high  price, 
low  quality  and  general  uncertainty 
with  regard  to  Christmas  greens.  Flo- 
rists generally  have  bought  large  quan- 
tities of  boxwood  because  it  was  avail- 


able, staying  off  in  the  matter  of  order- 
ing holly  because  they  had  no  assurance 
as  to  quality,  price  or  delivery.  The 
market  is  practically  bare  of  hoUy. 
Some  districts  put  an  embargo  on 
freight  shipments.  This  happened  to  the 
W.  W.  Barnard  Co.,  which  has  been  get- 
ting eastern  holly  in  car  lots  by  express. 
In  some  sections  express  shipments  were 
limited  to  five  cases.  The  eastern  Ten- 
nessee district  has  been  flooded,  so  that 
no  holly  could  be  cut.  In  the  zero 
weather  many  shipments  have  been 
frosted.  Prices  have  varied  widely, 
from  $6.50  to  $10  per  case,  and  it  was

Growers  Favor  Cooperative  Campaign. 
Interest  already  aroused  in  a  coopera- 
tive advertising  campaign  in  Chicago 
was  stimulated  by  the  address  of  J.  F. 
Ammann,  president  of  the  S.  A.  F,,  at 
the  meeting  of  the  Commercial  Flower 
Growers  of  Chicago  at  the  Hotel  Ean- 
dolph  Thursday  afternoon,  December 
11.  At  its  conclusion  the  organization 
voted  to  appoint  a  committee  to  con- 
sider a  plan  and  present  it  for  adoption 
at  the  next  meeting.  President  Kohout 
named  on  this  committee  Paul  Weiss, 
W.  J.  Keimel  and  Secretary  Otto  Am- 

President  Ammann 's  stirring  remarks 
were  followed  by  a  talk  by  Fred  Lau- 


tenschlager  on  the  same  subject.  Dis- 
cussion brought  forward  an  appeal  for 
immediate  action  from  Paul  Weiss,  who 
has  been  one  of  the  most  ardent  advo- 
cates of  the  project.  Upon  explanation 
of  the  plans  in  use  in  Milwaukee,  St. 
Louis  and  Buffalo  by  President  Am- 
mann, W.  J.  Keimel  moved  a  committee 
be  appointed  to  decide  upon  the  one 
best  adapted  to  Chicago's  needs. 

About  thirty-five  members  were  in  at- 
tendance. J.  H.  Davis,  of  Fort  Worth, 
Tex.,  was  a  visitor  and  won  the  atten- 
tion of  the  meeting  when  Mr.  Ammann 
described  his  work  in  growing  roses  in 
the  Texas  climate.  New  members  elected 
at  the  meeting  were  Wendland  &  Keimel 
Co.,  of  Elmhurst;  M.  Weber,  5332  Bow- 
manville  avenue,  and  Xavier  Wojt- 
kiewicz,  of  Niles. 


On  the  tables  were  blooms  of  Chrys- 
anthemum Sunshine,  grown  by  Hans 
Jepson,  of  Maywood,  and  a  vase  each 
of  the  new  roses  of  A.  N.  Pierson,  Inc., 
Cromwell,  Conn.,  Crusader  and  Pilgrim, 
from  plants  grown  by  the  A.  F.  Amling 
Co.,  Maywood.  Specimens  of  the  rose, 
Frank  W.  Dunlop,  were  expected  from 
J.  H.  Dunlop,  Toronto,  but  did  not  ar- 
rive in  time  for  the  meeting. 

The  meeting  next  month,  it  was  de- 
cided by  vote,  is  to  be  held  in  the  after- 
noon at  2  o'clock. 

Paul  Weiss  and  Otto  Amling  went 
to  the  home  of  W.  J.  Keimel  December 
15  for  a  first  meeting  of  the  committee 
appointed  to  deal  with  the  publicity 
matter.  It  was  decided  that  no  plan 
offers  such  assurance  of  success  ai  does 
the  one  tested  in  Milwaukee.    The  com-

with  the  idea  of  securing  practically 
unanimous  support  for  the  joint  com- 
mittee to  be  put  in  charge. 

Various  Notes. 

H.  D.  Schiller,  from  boyhood  asso- 
ciated with  the  florists'  business 
founded  by  his  father,  has  joined  the 
staff  of  M.  C.  Wright,  western  sales 
manager  for  Lord  &  Burnham  Co. 

G.  M.  Beburn  has  returned  from  a 
trip  of  several  weeks  south,  southwest 
and  west  within  the  contiguous  states. 
He  says  he  found  florists  almost  without 
exception  reporting  business  as  good  aa 
last  year,  or  better.  It  was  the  excep- 
tion to  find  one  who  was  not  getting 
profitable  prices  and  doing  a  first-class 
trade.  Mr.  Eeburn  says  it  has  taken 
the  smaller  city  florists  some  time  to 
realize  that  they  could  get  paying  prices 
if  they  asked  them,  and  by  no  other 
method.  He  says  they  know  now  and 
are  making  money.  With  Mrs.  Reburn 
he  leaves  December  21  to  spend  the  holi- 
days at  his  old  home  in  West  Grove,  Pa, 

In  getting  out  of  his  automobile  De- 
cember 11,  Otto  Wittbold,  6319  Louise 
avenue,  Edgebrook,  stepped  in  front  of 
another.    His  leg  was  broken. 

Harold  Amling,  who  is  studying  at 
Culver  Military  Academy,  left  Decem- 
ber 17  to  spend  the  holidays  with  his 
father  and  mother,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  E.  C. 
Amling,  at  Orange,  Cal. 

Emil  Buettner  says  he  seldom  has  cut 
so  few  roses  for  Christmas  as  will  be 
the  case  this  year.  He  says  the  warm 
weather  in  October  and  early  November 
brought  his  crop  ahead  of  time. 

At  last  reports  Mrs.  Joseph  Kohout 
was  convalescing  at  Garfield  Park  hos- 
pital in  spite  of  the  fact  that  her  case 
is  one  in  which  few  recover. 

P.  C.  Schupp  has  sent  the  customers  of 
J.  A.  Budlong  Co.  one  of  the  handsomest 
calendars  of  the  season.  It  is  the  paint- 
ing of  the  "Orchid  Lady,"  reproduced 
in  colors. 

C.  L.  Washburn  says  the  commission 
dealers  have  had  the  advantage  of  the 
wholesale  growers  so  far  this  season,  be- 
cause increased  production  has  brought 
to  the  commission  houses  enough  stock 
to  more  than  counterbalance  the  lower 
prices  which  have  prevailed.  This  has 
not  been  possible  for  many  of  the  indi- 
vidual growers.  But  Mr.  Washburn  ex- 
pects a  change  with  Christmas  and  the 
new  year.  He  looks  to  see  a  good  many 
houses  short  of  roses  for  the  next  six 
weeks.

The  death  of  Mark  F.  Kyle,  father  of 
W.  P.  Kyle,  is  recorded  in  this  week's 
obituary  column. 

There  is  a  good  opportunity  for  some- 
one with  capital,  the  establishment  of 
the  Kenwood  Floral  Co.,  on  East  Forty- 
seventh  street,  having  been  closed  since 
the  death  of  Henry  Hilmers,  who  had 
run  the  place  many  years. 

Paul  Klingspom  and  Frank  Schramm 
spent  December  11  at  Lincoln,  111.,  to 
see  what  is  being  done  this  season  at  the 
big  establishment  of  GuUett  &  Sons. 

Over  300,000  gladiolus  bulbs  already 
are  in  the  store  of  the  American  Bulb 
Co.,  grown  in  Indiana  for  this  concern. 

George  V.  Wienhoeber  has  not  been 
well  of  late,  but  is  preparing  for  a  big 
Christmas. 

A.  T.  Pyfer  says  the  mum  season  of 
1919  will  not  end  until  1920. 


George  H.  Pieser  has  joined  the  stafE 
of  Johnson  &  Chronis,  where  the  big 
store  is  full  of  palms  and  other  plants 
and  business  never  seems  to  slacken. 

Weiss  &  Meyer  Co.,  Maywood,  never 
approached  Christmas  with  as  large  a 
cut  as  this  year.  Ophelia  is  in  specially 
heavy  crop. 

Sam  Pearce  is  cutting  narcissi  in 
great  quantities. 

Frank  Oechslin  is  sending  a  crop  of 
cut  poinsettias  to  the  Chicago  Flower 
Growers'  Association. 

J.  E.  Pollworth  has  it  "doped  out" 
that  a  dry  New  Year's  eve  will  help  the 
flower  business.  His  observation  leads 
him  to  believe  that  flowers  seldom  grace 
the  tables  of  restaurant  revelers  but 
nearly  always  do  those  of  celebrations 
in  the  homes.  Without  wine,  Mr.  Poll- 
worth  thinks,  large  numbers  of  watch 


parties  will  be  transferred  from  public 
to  private  surroundings,  to  the  trade's 
benefit. 

Visitors. 

Joseph  H.  Hill,  of  Eichmond,  Ind., 
was  here  last  week,  in  conference  with 
manufacturers  of  greenhouse  building 
material.  He  plans  to  put  up  new  glass 
to  house  25,000  carnation  plants,  but 
has  not  decided  what  type  of  house  to 
build. 

H.  Welke,  of  the  E.  Welke  Co.,  Mil- 
waukee, visited  the  market  December 
12,  hunting  supplies  to  care  for  the  in- 
creasing business  in  the  new  store  occu- 
pied by  the  "House  of  Eoses." 

Philip  Breitmeyer,  of  Detroit,  has 
been  here  this  week  placing  orders  for 
Christmas  stock.

was  in  the  market  December  15.  He 
says  Kansas  City  will  have  the  greatest 
Christmas  business  on  record;  the  sup- 
ply of  stock  will  not  be  enough  to  go 
around  without  considerable  help  from 
this  market. 

William  Dittman,  son  and  successor 
of  the  pioneer  New  Castle  Beauty 
grower,  was  here  December  13,  introduc-

PEOVIDENCE,  R.  I. 


The  Market. 

During  the  last  week  business  has  con- 
tiflwed  about  normal  and  the  supply 
has  been  sufficient  to  meet  all  demands. 
Indications  are  for  a  banner  Christmas 
trade  already,  the  shops  having  begun 
to  take  on  a  holiday  appearance,  and 
early  orders  seem  to  point  to  a  more 
general  giving  of  flowers  than  ever  be- 
fore. It  is  believed  that  prices  will 
reach  the  top  notch. 

Funeral  work  is  brisk,  some  of  the 
firms  having  had  unusually  large  orders 
for  this  work  last  week,  and  small 
weddings,  with  pre-nuptial  affairs,  keep 
all  cut  stock  well  cleaned  up. 

Various  Notes. 

At  the  December  meeting  of  the 
Rhode  Island  Horticultural  Society 
President  E.  K.  Thomas  will  report  on 
the  proposition  of  the  society's  joining 
with  the  Rhode  Island  Fruit  Growers' 
Association,  the  Rhode  Island  Poultry 
Society,  the  Market  Gardeners'  Asso- 
ciation and  the  State  Corn  Growers'  As- 
sociation for  a  combined  exhibition  of 
fruit,  flowers,  poultry,  corn  and  ag- 
ricultural products  at  the  State 
Armory,  this  city,  November  13  to  16 
next  year.  Mr.  Thomas  wa,s  elected  at 
the  joint  meeting  of  representatives  of 
the  various  organizations  a  member  of 
the  executive  committee,  representing 
the  Horticultural  Society. 

Ed  Brooke,  of  T.  J.  Johnston  &  Co., 
made  a  business  trip  through  Connecti- 
cut and  southern  Massachusetts  last 
week,  looking  for  potted  stock. 

Peter  S.  Byrnes,  of  the  Homogansett 
Greenhouses,  has  been  appointed  chair- 
man of  the  committee  on  annual  fair 
and  dance  of  the  Narragansett  Veteran 
Firemen's  Association,  of  Wickford. 

Charles  Smith  was  in  Massachusetts

Johnston  Bros,  had  several  large  de- 
signs for  the  funeral  of  a  prominent 
mill  man  last  week. 

T.  J.  Johnston  &  Co.  had  a  big  wed- 
ding decoration  Monday  evening,  De- 
cember 8,  in  which  several  hundred 
roses  were  used.

INDIANAPOLIS,  IND. 


The  Market. 

Stock  is  exceedingly  close.  Last  year 
at  this  time  everyone  proclaimed  it  the 
"worst  ever,"  but  it  is  even  worse  this 
year.     Everything  is    short. 

Eoses,  in  limited  supply,  are  to  be 
had  at  $10  and  up.  Carnations  sell 
quickly  at  $6  to  $15.  As  usual,  red 
ones  are  in  big  demand  and  are  "as 
scarce  as  hen's  teeth."  A  few  chrys- 
anthemums are  still  to  be  seen — pom- 
pons in  pink  and  white,  seedlings  and 
a  few  Christmas  Eve  and  Patty. 

The  most  plentiful  flowers  again  this 
year  will  be  poinsettias  and,  although 
most  of  the  florists  have  grown  consid- 
erably more  of  these  than  usual,  the 
supply  will  be  inadequate.  These  always 
sell  well  and  the  scarcity  of  other  flow- 
ers will  make  them  sell  even  better. 

Potted  plants  will  also  be  limited. 
The  variety  is  the  same,  but  the  quan-

State  Association  Meets. 

The  December  meeting  of  the  Indiana 
State  Florists'  Association  was  held  at 
New  Albany,  Ind.,  Tuesday,  December  9. 

To  the  disappointment  of  all,  the 
weather  was  especially  unfavorable  and 
caused  many  who  had  intended  to  go  to 
remain  at  home.  Dark,  cloudy,  rainy 
weather  in  the  morning  changed  to 
freezing,  with  a  drop  in  temperature  of 
over  40  degrees  by  evening.     But,  the

weather  notwithstanding,  the  small  dele- 
gation that  did  go  had  a  splendid  time 
and  regretted  that  the  others  missed  it. 
Leaving  Indianapolis  early,  they  arrived 
in  plenty  of  time  for  lunch,  which  was 
bounteously  provided  at  Mr.  Basmus- 
sen's  establishment.

committee  to  look  over  and  audit  the 
books  was  named  as  follows:  Oscar 
Carlstedt,  William  Eoepke,  Fred  Kiel 
and  Frank  Rieman. 

The  association,  having  gone  "over 
the  top"  in  its  drive  for  members  in 
the  S.  A.  F.,  is  now  entitled  to  a  place 
on  the  board  of  directors  of  the  national 
society.  A  petition  was  drawn  up  to 
send  to  the  S.  A.  F.,  requesting  Mr.  Eas- 
mussen's  membership  on  this  board. 

After  the  business  meeting,  the  guests 
visited  around  in  New  Albany.  Mr. 
Rasmussen's  range  is  in  fine  shape  and 
is  producing  some  splendid  roses.  Co- 
lumbia is  especially  good.  He  also  has 
a  large  crop  of  lettuce  planted. 

F.  H.  Hustedt  's  range  was  planted  all 
to  carnations  and  looked  promising. 
Louis  Gueltig  has  not  been  in  posses- 
sion of  his  range  long  and,  although  it 
looks  good  now,  planted  in  miscel- 
laneous stock,  his  intentions  are  to 
plant  it  all  to  roses.  He  had  some  fine 
bouvardias,  good  poinsettias,  carna- 
tions, etc. 

The  weather  being  disagreeable,  the 
trip  over  into  Louisville  was  abandoned. 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Rasmussen  entertained  the 
guests  at  dinner  in  their  home  that 
evening. 

The  next  meeting  of  the  association 
will    be   held   in    Indianapolis   January 

13  in  the  rooms  of  the  Independent 
Athletic  Club.  This  will  be  the  annual 
meeting,  and  at  it  will  occur  the  election 
of  officers  and  the  competition  for  the 
Indiana  rose  and  carnation  trophies. 
The  secretary  requests  any  raisers  of 
novelties  to  send  in  a  sample  shipment 
at  this  time.

The  Market. 

It  is  funnj:  Carnations  are  bring- 
ing more  than  roses. 

That  is  the  feature  of  the  market.  It 
is  due  to  a  short  crop  of  carnations, 
to  the  beginning  of  the  holiday  crop  of 
roses  and  to  the  fact  that  the  buyers 
have  not  yet  met  the  changing  condi- 
tions. The  market  is  taking  easily  the 
flowers  offered.  The  buyers  say  there 
is  no  business,  but  they  continue  to 
take  all  the  flowers  in  sight.  White 
has  been  somewhat  plentiful,  but  as  the 
week  closes  that  seems  to  be  past.  Pink 
roses  are  rather  scarce,  particularly  in 
the  shorter  grades.  Columbia  affords 
few  shorts.  What  remains  of  Killarney 
is  mostly  cropped  for  Christmas. 
Ophelia  is  the  most  plentiful  rose  to- 
day. 

Boses  have  always  been  the  main- 
stay of  the  market  at  Christmas.  This 
year  they  promise  to  be  more  impor- 
tant than  ever.  There  are  fewer  carna- 
tions, fewer  violets  and  sweet  peas  are 
showing  that  unhappy  tendency  toward 
bud-dropping,  their  bane  in  early  win- 
ter. Not  much  is  expected  of  snap- 
dragon. There  will  be  orchids  for  those 
who  can  afford  them.  There  are  lots  of 
poinsettia,  stevia  and  Paper  Whites. 

A  Florist's  Story. 

"My  wife  went  shopping  the  other 
day.  She  likes  to  go  early;  the  stores 
are  less  crowded,  so  the  service  is  bet- 
ter. She  arrived  about  8:30  that  morn- 
ing. She  went  to  the  glove  counter. 
There  she  was  asked  $4.50  a  pair  for 
exactly  the  same  gloves  that  had  cost 
$2.50  a  pair  a  year  ago.  As  she  turned 
away   the   saleswoman   remarked   that

those  gloves  had  been  $3.50  a  pair  last 
week.  In  another  department  store  she 
saw  tags  being  changed  from  $2.50  to 
$3,  others  from  $3  to  $3.50.  That  eve- 
ning she  was  indignant  about  it.  I  told 
her  there  was  another  side  to  it,  most 
likely.  The  stock  of  gloves  waa  growing 
short  and  could  not  be  replaced  except 
at  an  additional  cost  of,  say,  60  cents  a 
pair. ' ' 


The  Plant  Market. 

Never  in  the  history  of  the  plant  mar- 
ket have  indications  been  brighter. 
There  are  still  plants  for  sale,  lots  of 
them,  but  the  novelties  and  specialties 
are  gone  and  the  market  generally  is  in 
the  condition,  December  12,  that  it  or-

and  Mr.  Pepper  has  laid  down  no  ulti- 
matum, so  it  seemed  a  chance  to  see 
the  wholesale  district  in  the  world's 
greatest  flower  mart  for  the  first  time. 

Everybody,  blessed  with  any  imagi- 
nation at  all,  forms  a  mental  picture  of 
what  he  is  going  to  see.  My  mental 
picture  was  two-sided — a  scene  of  ter- 
rific bustle  and  activity  and  human 
machines  trading,  not  men.  In  both  I 
was  disappointed.  The  market  was  quiet 
that  morning.  It  was  raining  and  so 
foggy  that  horns  and  bells  were  in  con- 
stant use  on  the  river.  It  was  said  that 
9:30  a.  m.,  with  the  early  rush  over, 
was  too  late,  but  I  strongly  suspect  this 
statement  was  due  to  local  pride  and 
that  coming  over  on  the  sleeper  would 
not  have  made  much  difference  that  day. 
The  men  who  control  the  destinies  of 
the  New  York  market  are  by  no  means 
trading  machines,  but  a  most  human 
lot  of  fellows,  well  worth  cultivating.

York  cut  flower  market  is  its  size.  This 
impression  is  heightened  by  the  way 
business  is  done.  A  great  number  of 
small  places  are  ranged  side  by  side 
on  both  sides  of  the  street  for  a  block. 
Most  of  their  stock  is  laid  out  on  the 
counter  in  plain  view  from  the  street. 


so  that  except  in  the  case  of  some  fancy 
flowers  put  in  the  iceboxes,  it  is  hardly 
necessary  to  go  in  and  ask  whether 
this  or  that  variety  is  on  hand.  The 
method  of  trading  resembles  that  of 
the  stock  exchange.  The  words  "ac-

favor,"  are  nearly,  if  not  quite,  mean- 
ingless here.  The  law  of  supply  and 
demand  is  recognized.  A  maxim  here 
is,  "Watch  the  supply;  that's  what 
<50unts, "  Bookkeeping  is  reduced  to  a 
«cience;  no  unnecessary  figures  appear. 
The  returns  are  in  bulk.  The  sales  are 
for  cash  or  short  time.  A  detail  that 
was  a  surprise  was  the  delivery.  Out- 
side of  New  York  it  is  currently  re- 
ported that  flowers  are  never  delivered. 
The  buyer  always  takes  them.  This  is 
incorrect.  Orders  are  delivered,  though 
ev«ryone  does  as  little  of  it  as  possible. 

The  appearance  of  the  wholesale  com- 
mission houses  on  Twenty-eighth  street 
led  us  to  the  belief  that  the  best  stock 
sold  best  at  this,  as  it  probably  does  at 
every  other  season  of  the  year.  The 
low  grade  appeared  to  drag,  while  the 
choice  stock  sold.  The  price  paid,  with 
the  size  of  some  of  the  transactions,  was 
surprising.  It  showed  the  possibilities 
in  the  production  of  flowers.  It  also 
showed  the  danger  of  getting  false 
ideas  of  values.  Given  a  flurry  in  the 
New  York  market  and  prices  out  of  all 
reason  are  obtained.  Given  a  slump  and 
the  cost  of  production  is  far  above  the 
price  realized  on  the  stock. 

The  thought  on  leaving  was  one  of  ad- 
miration for  the  brains  of  the  men  who 
operate  on  the  New  York  wholesale  cut 
flower  market.

BOSTON. 

The  Market. 

The  supply  of  cut  flowers  diminished 
considerably  during  the  last  few  days. 
Dark  weather  has  probably  reduced  pro- 
duction in  some  degree,  but  many  grow- 
ers are  now  holding  flowers  back  for 
the  holidays,  as  in  former  years.  While 
supplies  are  much  reduced,  prices  have 
advanced  sharply.  The  demand  at  pre- 
vailing prices  is,  however,  compara- 
tively small.  In  the  case  of  roses  the 
cut  is  not  large,  but  growers  hope  to 
have  a  large  Christmas  crop.  Short- 
stemmed  stock  has  advanced  to  $8  to 
$10,  with  other  grades  running  up  to 
$25  and  $30,  and  some  fancies,  like  Had- 
ley,  Columbia,  Russell  and  Premier,  a 
little  higher.  The  call  for -whites,  which 
was  quite  strong  for  some  weeks,  has 
dropped  off  and  this  color  is  now  in- 
clined to  drag  in  its  sales. 

Carnations  are  coming  into  their  own 
and  have  more  than  doubled  the  prices 
of  a  week  ago,  $10  to  $12  being  present 
quotations,  with  $16  and  $20  as  probable 
Christmas  figures.  Matchless  is  more 
in  evidence  than  any  other  variety  and 
does  not  move  at  as  lively  a  gait  as 
the  colored  varieties.  Violets  are  being 
mostly  held  back  for  the  holidays  and 
are  sold  at  $3.  Pansies  sell  quickly, 
with  fancies  realizing  $4  to  $5.  Callas 
sell  readily  at  $24  to  $32  per  hundred. 
Lilies  are  not  seen  at  all.  There  are 
larger  offerings  of  Spencer  sweet  peas, 
but  the  demand  is  good  at  $2  to  $4  per 
hundred.  Yellow  marguerites  are  not 
plentiful.  The  best  sell  at  $4  to  $6  per 
hundred,  with  bachelor's  buttons  at  $2. 

A  little  cosmos  still  comes  in,  but 
moves  slowly.  Paper  Whites  sell  at  $6 
and  stevia  is  now  offered  abundantly 
at  35  to  50  cents  a  bunch.  Small  lots  of 
freesias  are  expected  next  week,  but  no 
Dutch  bulbous  stock  is  likely  to  appear 
until  after  the  holidays.  Small  lots  of 
late  mums  sell  at  $24  to  $30  per  hundred 
and  pompons  are  easily  sold. 

Lily  of  the  valley  is  offered  at  $20 
per  hundred.  White  bouvardia  is  less 
plentiful  and  sells  out  quickly.  Cat- 
tleyas  are  decidedly  scarce  and  dear,  but 
there  are  fair  supplies  of  cypripediums 
and  some  zygopetalums  and  Lselia  an- 
ceps.  The  abundance  of  stevia  tempo- 
rarily affects  the  sale  of  asparagus. 
There  is  a  large  call  for  holly  and  other 
greenery.  Holly  is  Well  berried,  but  in 
comparatively  small  supply.  Trade  in 
pot  plants  with  the  retailers  is  good  and 
"wholesalers  are  already  well  sold  out  of

Various  Notes. 

William  R.  Morris,  of  Wellesley,  who 
used  to  be  a  leading  rose  specialist, 
started  carnation  culture  a  year  ago  and 
now  grows  them  exclusively.  It  is  safe 
to  say  that  no  finer  flowers  come  into 
the  Boston  market.  His  plants  now 
average  over  a  yard  in  height  and  are 
of  uniform  excellence.  His  varieties 
are  Beacon,  Benora,  Doris,  Matchless 
and  Pink  Delight.

?iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiii"i''iiiiiiiiiiiii"iiiiiiiiii»iii"'iii"»iiiiiini"iiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig 


At  the  monthly  dinner  and  meeting  of 
the  Horticultural  Club,  held  at  the 
Parker  House  December  3,  E.  H.  Wilson, 
of  the  Arnold  Arboretum,  the  newly 
elected  president,  gave  an  illustrated 
lecture  depicting  vegetation  and  scenes 
in  China,  Japan  and  Formosa.  Thomas 
Roland  sent  some  handsome  cyclamens 
for  table  decoration,  and  "William  An- 
derson, superintendent  for  Mrs.  Bayard 
Thayer,  exhibited  a  large  vase  of  Lilium 
regale,  from  bulbs  which  he  had  kept 
in  cold  storage  and  potted  early  in  Sep- 
tember. The  bulbs  were  4  years  old 
from  seed,  ajid  the  spikes  carried  several 
handsome  flowers,  each  showing  their 
value  commercially  and  otherwise. 

The  Welch  Bros.  Co.  is  receiving  the 
finest  cut  poinsettias  I  have  seen  this 
season.  It  is  practically  the  only  firm 
here  having  lily  of  the  valley  in  quan- 
tity for  the  holidays.  One  of  its  win- 
dows is  devoted  to  fine  specimens  of 
Begonia  Melior,  for  which  it  has  a  good 
demand.  P.  Welch  fears  that  prevailing 
high  prices  may  tend  to  reduce  shipping 
trade,  which  has  been  good  this  season. 

Louis  E.  Small,  of  Tewksbury,  the 
local  bachelor's  button  king,  has  three 
houses  devoted  to  this  flower  at  pres- 
ent. He  has  some  fine  yellow  marguer- 
ites, the  best  realizing  $6  per  hundred 
at  wholesale. 

Wollrath  &  Sons  have  sold  out  prac- 
tically all  their  fine  specimens  of  be- 
gonias, cvclamens,  poinsettias,  etc.  They 
filled  one  $11,000  order  from  Connecti- 
cut for  cyclamens  last  week.

made  good.  Both  -winter  and  summer  it 
sells  well  here  and  holds  its  color  re- 
markably. 

Robert  Dougherty,  of  "West  Medway, 
is  making  a  decided  hit  with  his  fine 
shipments  of  Spencer  sweet  peas,  han- 
dled by  E.  J,  Rogean. 

Lured  by  high  prices  in  the  metropo- 
lis, some  of  our  leading  carnation  spe- 
cialists have  made  large  shipments  there 
during  the  last  week. 

The  many  friends  of  Alexander  Mont- 
gomery, St.,  of  Hadley,  for  many  years 
manager  of  the  Waban  Rose  Conserva- 
tories, Natick,  will  be  relieved  to  learn 
that  he  is  successfully  recuperating 
from  an  operation  for  gallstones  at  the 
Holyoke  hospital,  performed  December 
11.  Mr.  Montgomery's  hosts  of  friends 
wish  him  a  speedy  recovery. 

B.  A.  Snyder  &  Co.  state  that  the  pre- 
vailing high  price  of  flowers  has  not 
checked  the  demand  at  all.  Their  ship- 
ping trade  is  excellent  and  everything 
indicates  a  splendid  Christmas  business. 

At  Hamlin  the  Florist's  store  in  the 
Little  building,  Mr.  Rogers  reports  busi- 
ness as  steadily  improving.  The  store 
is  charmingly  arranged  for  the  holiday 
season  and  as  it  becomes  better  knov^m 
will  soon  be  in  the  front  rank  of  re- 
tailers. 

Norris  F.  Comley,  of  Burlington, 
grows  roses  in  large  quantity.  At  pres- 
ent he  is  cutting  Ophelia  and  "White 
Killarney  heavily,  but  he  has  a  fine  lot 
of  Spencer  sweet  peas. 

Light  and  heat  restrictions  made  by 
the  fuel  administrator  affected  all  the 
retail  stores.  At  first  hours  of  business 
were  set  from  11:30  to  4:30,  but  after  .a 
large  delegation  had  been  at  "Washing- 
ton a  modification  was  made  and  hours 
were  changed  to  from  9:30  to  4:30,  with 
an  additional  two  hours  on  Saturdays. 
It  is  unfortunate  that  this  reduction 
should  come  just  when  Christmas  buying 
is  at  its  height,  but  all  took  the  change 
cheerfully  and  are  now  pleased  that  the 
restrictions  on  light  and  heat  were  re- 
moved December  16. 

Thomas  Roland's  several  houses  of 
high-grade  cyclamens  are  already  com- 
pletely sold  out.  From  Revere  he  re- 
ceives an  average  of  5,000  roses  daily, 
chiefly  "Ward  and  Ophelia.  He  will  have 
a  heavy  cut  of  these  and  other  varieties 
for  the  holidays. 

Adolph  E.  E.  Koch,  of  Nobseot,  is 
sending  in  fine  shipments  of  marguer- 
ites.    He  also  has  an   excellent  lot  of

The  Florists^  Review 


Decbmbbb  18,  1919. 


Pacific  Coast  Department 


Colma,  Cal.— The  S.  Eosaia  Co.  is 
shipping  violets  from  the  west  coast 
nearly  to  the  east,  with  notable  success. 


LOS  ANGELES,  CAL. 


The  Market. 

While  the  fine  weather  last  week 
helped  to  bring  on  stock,  there  is  still 
a  scarcity  and  at  the  rate  that  Christ- 
mas orders  are  coming  in  there  will  be 
a  record  rush  for  all  kinds  of  flowers. 
Wholesalers  report  an  unprecedented  de- 
mand for  this  time.  As  a  general  rule, 
the  last  two  weeks  before  Christmas- 
time are  not  good,  but  this  year  has 
beaten  all  records.  The  rose  scarcity  is 
passing,  but  the  high  prices  that  grow- 
ers have  to  ask  may  check  the  demand 
somewhat.  When  the  high  cost  of  labor 
and  of  all  kinds  of  material  is  consid- 
ered, the  reason  for  the  higher  prices  is 
at  once  apparent,  but  unfortunately  this 
is  not  always  taken  into  account  by 
flower  buyers. 

Carnations  are  in  good  condition,  but 
the  greenhouse-grown  crop  will  be  ex- 
tremely limited  and  only  half  the  orders 
will  be  filled.  Poinsettia  growers  are 
watching  the  weather  anxiously  and 
hoping  for  the  best.  A  storm  has  been 
threatening  and  rough  weather  would 
be  fatal  to  good  shipping  stock. 
Heather  is  arriving  of  better  color  than 
last  year's,  owing  to  the  recent  rains, 
but  personal  observation  of  the  grow- 
ers' stock  seems  to  indicate  that  the 
long  sprays  so  plentiful  last  year  will 
be  nearly  absent  this  year.  The  reger- 
minans  types,  while  attractive,  do  not 
seem  to  meet  with  the  same  favor  as 
melanthera,  which  is  always  in  demand. 
In  favored  sections  the  baby  zinnias  are 
still  flowering,  though  many  of  the 
patches  were  injured  by  the  recent 
frost.  Violets  are  still  on  the  scarce 
side  as  compared  with  the  orders. 
Brunner  roses  are  scarce,  some  of  the 
indoor  growers  being  off  crop.  There 
will  not  be  enough  cattleyas  to  go 
around,  even  at  the  high  prices  asked, 
and  sweet  peas  are  almost  out  of  the 
market. 

The  "sold  out"  signs  are  on  the 
azaleas  and  cyclamens  and  the  poin- 
settias  are  going  fast.  There  is  little 
else  in  pot  stock.  The  demand  for 
Christmas  greens,  wreaths  and  gar- 
lands is  quite  without  precedent,  while 
the  express  service  is  not  of  the  best. 
Reports  of  deep  snow  in  the  northern 
woods  have  stiffened  prices  and  every- 
thing points  to  a  scarcity.  Desert 
holly  is  not  plentiful,  owing  to  the 
difficulties  of  transportation.  Greens 
are  high  in  price  and  likely  to  remain 
so  from  now  on. 

Various  Notes. 

Tassano  Bros,  have  taken  large  tem- 
porary quarters  at  714  South  Spring 
street  for  the  holiday  season;  there  they 
will  be  centrally  located  to  fill  orders. 

T.  Wedderburn,  of  the  Quality  Brands 
Co.,  Cleveland,  O.,  has  been  a  business 
visitor  in  this  city.  This  firm's  glazing 
specialties  were  used  on  the  new  green- 
houses of  Walter  Armacost  &  Co. 

The    H.    N.    Gage    Co.    is    sending   in 


forced    Roman    hyacinths    in    pots    and 
also  the  earliest  daffodils. 

A  most  attractive  "Say  It  with 
Flowers"  sign  is  being  shown  by  the 
Broadway  Florist.  A  small  electric 
motor  revolving  a  light  behind  glass 
gives  the  impression  of  running  water, 
the  different  colors  of  the  flowers  shown 


breaking  up  into  various  tints  and  ap- 
pearing as  moving  waves  of  color.  This 
firm  has  recently  added  a  Dodge  de- 
livery car  to  its  equipment. 

C.  E.  Morton,  of  Phoenix,  Ariz.,  is

on  the  old  location. 

A  shipment  of  several  tons  of  desert 
holly,  just  received  by  the  L.  A.  Floral

The  Market. 

Both  potted  plant  and  cut  flower 
stock  is  short  and,  according  to  all  in- 
dications, will  continue  so  for  the  rest 
of  the  year.  Prices  are  considerably 
higher  than  they  have  been  for  some 
time;  in  fact,  many  of  the  retail  prices 
of  last  year  on  potted  plants  are  the 
wholesale  prices  this  year. 

What  stock  there  is  in  the  market, 
however,  is  in  good  condition  and  sell- 
ing well.  A  brisk  demand  for  holiday 
goods  is  keeping  shipping  establish- 
ments busy,  eastern  orders  being  par- 
ticularly active  just  now. 

Violets  are  getting  back  into  condi-

been  a  longer  chrysanthemum  season. 
The  first  crop  was  unusually  early  and, 
while  the  stock  is  scarce  now,  there 
probably  will  be  chrysanthemums  sold 
up  to  the  first  of  the  year.  An  extreme- 
ly heavy  frost  December  9  just  about 
cleaned  up  the  Chinese  mums  growing 
in  the  open,  but  there  are  still  cuts  of 
the  large  blooms  grown  under  protec- 
tion and  quantities  of  the  small  pom- 
pons arriving  in  the  market. 

So  far  the  poinsettia  shipments  from 
the  south  have  arrived  in  good  condi- 
tion. A  number  of  northern  growers 
have  potted  poinsettias,  but  practically 
all  the  cut  stock  comes  from  Los  An- 
geles and  vicinity. 

Carnations  are  scarce  and  high.  What 
stock  arrives  is  in  good  shape  and  in 
demand  on  account  of  funeral  work, 
which  always  increases  during  the 
rainy  weather. 

Roses  are  none  too  plentiful.  The 
cuts  are  excellent,  however,  making  it 
easier  to  secure  the  price  that  is  necea-

Nevraumont,  has  cleaned  up  nicely  on 

[Continued  on  page  110.] 
SPOKANE,  WASH. 


The  Market. 

The  unusually  cold  weather  for  thi» 
time  of  the  year  has  seriously  affected 
the  trade.  Of  course  there  is  always 
plenty  of  work  on  hand  making  Christ- 
mas wreaths,  baskets,  etc.  Funeral 
work  has  been  about  normal.  The  mar- 
ket is  well  supplied  with  all  seasonable 
flowers.  The  growers  are  now  booking 
Christmas  orders  and  expect  to  be  able 
to  fill  all  demands  except  for  red  carna- 
tions and  roses. 

Various  Notes. 

H.  L.  Olsson  is  well  satisfied  with 
the  products  of  his  rose  house  planted 
last  summer  with  Ophelia,  Russell,  Had- 
ley,  Killarney  and  White  Killarney. 
The  cut  from  2,700  rose  plants  from 
September  1  to  November  1  was  30,000 
blooms.  He  also  has  some  fine  speci- 
mens of  cyclamen  and  pepper  plants. 

E.  Sinclair  finds  that  it  pays  to  re- 
build. His  greenhouses  he  found  to  be 
too  low  to  grow  roses  successfully;  so 
last  summer  ho  rebuilt  two  of  his 
houses  and  plans  to  rebuild  the  remain- 
der. His  main  crop  is  roses  and  to  get 
the  best  results  he  found  it  necessary 
to  give  them  the  right  greenhouse  con- 
ditions. 

Eugene's  Flower  Shop  has  been  busy 
with  a  large  Christmas  decoration  order 
from  the  Crescent  department  store. 

The  Florists'  Club  meeting  had  to  be 
postponed  this  month,  as  so  many  of  the 
growers  found  it  necessary  to  watch 
the  thermometer  instead  of  attending  a 
meeting.  H.  H.

BOSTON  NOTES. 

[Concluded  from  page  62.] 
a  consequence  they  are  obliged  to 
run  on  short  time  and  are  endeavoring 
to  keep  customers  supplied.  So  keen  is 
the  demand  for  pots  that  they  are  load- 
ing them  on  trucks  practically  as  soon 
as  they  arie  baked. 

December  has  given  us  some  variable 
weather  and  of  late  rain,  fog  and  over- 
cast skies  have  had  the  ascendency.  Cold 
waves  have  mostly  petered  out  before 
reaching  here  and  the  temperature  has 
not  yet  fallen  to  zero.  December  13  a 
maximum  of  61  degrees  was  recorded.

NOTICE 

Due  to  the  adverse  conditions,  we  have  in  sight  for  the  holidays 
comparatively  few  cut  flowers  of  our  own  growing,  and  being 
unable  to  obtain  satisfactory  stock  from  outside  sources  of  supply,  we  regret  that  we  will  be  unable  to  fill,  at 
that  time,  any  orders,  other  than  for  plants,  sent  us  by  our  florist  friends  and  others.

TOBONTO,  ONT. 


The  Market. 

Flowers  have  taken  another  advance 
this  week  and  yet  another  is  in  sight 
for  Christmas  week.  The  prices  for 
Christmas  are  in  general  twenty-five  per 
cent  ahead  of  the  Christmas  prices  last 
year.  In  fact,  the  wholesale  prices  are 
80  high  that  few  if  any  of  the  florists 
are  carrying  any  violets. 

The  demand  for  flowers  is  on  the  in- 
crease and  dealers  are  doing  a  bigger 
business  than  ever  before  in  the  history 
of  Toronto  florists.  It  is  expected  that

Retail  Florists'  Club. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Toronto  Retail 
Florists'  Club  held  Monday,  December 
8,  one  dealer  showed  a  window  card  he 
was  using,  stating  that  because  the 
growers  were  charging  such  an  unneces- 
sarily high  price,  no  violets  were  being 
handled.  Other  dealers  liked  the  idea 
and  stated  that  they  intended  to  follow 
suit. 

"^he  growers  are  to  be  invited  to  an 
oyster  supper  the  first  meeting  in  Jan- 
uary, when  the  club  will  make  several 
recommendations  to  them  and  will  dis- 
cuss with  them  questions  for  the  bet- 
terment of  the  trade  in  general. 

The  club  has  had  a  piano  installed  in 
its  rooms  and  it  is  expected  that  the 
instrument  will  add  to  the  enjoyment 
of  the  social  evenings.  There  will  be  no 
social  meeting  this  month. 

The  annual  dance  of  the  club  will  be 
held  in  February.  A  committee  is  at 
present  searching  for  a  large  enough

NOTICE 

Due  to  the  adverse  conditions,  we  have  in  sight  for  the  holidays 
comparatively  few  cut  flowers  of  our  own  growing,  and  being 
unable  to  obtain  satisfactory  stock  from  outside  sources  of  supply,  we  regret  that  we  will  be  unable  to  fill,  at 
that  time,  any  orders,  other  than  for  plants,  sent  us  by  our  florist  friends  and  others.

TORONTO,  ONT. 


Tlie  Market. 

Flowers  have  taken  another  advance 
this  week  and  yet  another  is  in  sight 
for  Christmas  week.  The  prices  for 
Christmas  are  in  general  twenty-five  per 
cent  ahead  of  the  Christmas  prices  last 
year.  In  fact,  the  wholesale  prices  are 
so  high  that  few  if  any  of  the  florists 
are  carrying  any  violets. 

The  demand  for  flowers  is  on  the  in- 
crease and  dealers  are  doing  a  bigger 
business  than  ever  before  in  the  history 
of  Toronto  florists.  It  is  expected  that 
the  Christmas  trade  will  be  a  record 
one,  but  on  account  of  tlie  large  increase 
in  wholesale  prices  the  profits  will  be 
less.  A  visit  to  the  greenhouses  of  the 
growers  sliows  that  there  is  every  ])ros- 
pect  of  a  fair  supply  for  Christmas 
trade,  but  not  sufficient  to  take  care  of 
the  entire  holiday  demand.  One  dealer 
has  rented  an  adjacent  store  to  hanille 
parcels  for  delivery  and  shipment.

Success  and  the  Slogan. 

As  we  approach  the  close  of  the  year, 
the  committee  looks  back  upon  the  work 
accomplished  with  a  great  deal  of  sat- 
isfaction. Our  publicity  campaign  has 
certainly  produced  wonderful  results, 
results  in  which  the  whole  trade  has 
shared.  The  movement  of  flowers  and 
plants  has  been  most  active.  No  gluts 
have  been  reported  in  our  markets  and 
the  demand  for  our  products  has  been 
greatly  increased,  in  spite  of  a  higher 
range  of  prices  which  has  all  along 
existed. 

Our  slogan^  "Say  It  with  Flowers," 
has  gained  the  strong  approval  of  the 
people  and  is  being  quoted  liberally 
outside  our  own  field.  It  is  being  fea- 
tured by  our  literary  men  and  women 
and    is    being   sung   by   concert    artists

campaign,  as  laid  out,  has  seen  many 
departures  from  its  plans.  We  have 
got  only  half  as  far  as  was  intended. 
Those  whose  subscriptions  have  made 
the  work  possible  are  unanimously  of 
the  opinion  that  the  money  spent  has 
been  a  most  excellent  investment  and 
there  has  been  abundant  evidence  to 
warrant  such  an  opinion. 

Invest  Tour   Christmas   Profits. 

But  it  would  be  interesting  to  know 
what  the  vast  army  of  non-subscribers 
think  about  it  all.  Do  they  ever  think 
of  the  benefit  which  this  great  cam- 
paign is  producing  for  them!  Are  they 
willing,  are  they  desirous,  that  a  cer- 
tain body  of-  generous  men  of  their  own 
eraft  should  provide  this  benefit  for 
them!  Are  they  content  to  see  their 
business  conditions  improve  through 
the  expenditures  of  others,  whom  they 
have  for  many  weary  months  been  in- 
vited to  joint 

We  put  these  questions  to  all  non- 
subscribers  at  this  time,  this  glorious 
Christmas  time,  when  good  will  is  so 
strongly  accentuated  and  the  better 
selves  of  all  of  us  respond  to  the  ap- 
peals of  conscience.  Why  not  resolve 
to  donate  a  small  percentage  of  your 
Christmas  profits  to  the  campaign  fund

SOCflETY  OF  AMERICAN  FLORISTS. 


A  Ten  Days'  Opportunity. 

Practically  only  ten  days  remain  in 
which  to  take  out  life  memberships  in 
the  society  at  the  old  rate  of  $25.  At 
the  Detroit  convention  it  was  unani- 
mously voted  to  increase  the  annual 
dues  from  $3  to  $5,  and  the  life  mem- 
bership fee  for  members  in  good  stand- 
ing from  $25  to  $50,  the  increases  to 
take  effect  January  1,  1920. 

The  advantage  in  life  membership  at 
the  present  rate  is  obvious — in  five 
years  a  member  will  have  paid  in  an- 
nual dues  what  can  now  be  made  in 
one  payment,  forever  relieving  the 
member  from  the  payment  of  further 
dues,  besides  removing  the  necessity  for 
keeping  track  of  annual  subscriptions 
and  the  bother  of  making  remittances. 
Many  members  consider  it  an  honor  to 
be  on  the  life  membership  list  and  point 
with  pride  to  the  handsomely  framed 


and  most  impressive  certificate,  or 
diploma,  which  is  issued  to  each  life 
member. 

Trade  Life  Insurance. 

Look  at  the  matter  in  the  light  of  an 
investment  and  send  me  your  check  for 
$25,  if  in  good  standing;  if  not  in  good 
standing,  add  your  dues  for  1919,  mak- 
ing the  check  $28.  New  members  com- 
ing in  as  life  members  must  pay  $30,  the 
difference  being  the  amount  of  initia- 
tion and  first  year 's  dues. 

If  you  are  not  already  a  member  and 
are  not  interested  in  life  membership, 
why  not  start  the  new  year  right,  by 
sending  in  your  check  at  once  for  $5t 
This  will  cover  your  initiation  fee  and 
dues  to  January  1,  1921. 

Life  memberships  nominally  are  de- 
signed to  increase  the  funds  in  the 
hands  of  the  treasurer,  to  permit  of 
more  effective  work  in  the  interests  of 
the  trade.  Almost  700  life  membership 
certificates  have  been  issued  this  year. 

Some  of  our  state  vice-presidents  and 
others  are  doing  laudable  work  in  the 
direction  of  increasing  our  life  mem- 
bership list,  notably  0.  J.  Olson,  St. 
Paul,  Minn.,  who  has  sent  in  fifteen 
applications,  and  W.  J.  Pilcher  of  St. 
Louis,  Mo.  W.  F.  Gude,  Washington, 
D.  C,  and  A.  F.  J.  Baur,  Indianapolis, 
Ind.,  have  also  done  good  service. 


Oertiflcates  and  Buttons. 

Owing  to  the  large  influx  of  life 
members,  some  little  delay  has  been 
experienced  in  engrossing,  framing  and 
dispatching  certificates,  but  we  are 
catching  up  with  the  work  as  fast  as 
possible. 

A  new  supply  of  life  membership 
buttons  has  just  been  received;  these 
are  being  furnished  at  75  cents  each 
and  are  mailed  on  receipt  of  this  amount 
at  the  secretary's  office.

NEW  OPPORTUNITIES. 


Are  You  Finding  Them? 

Has  the  slogan  "Say  It  with  Flow- 
ers" taken  hold  of  you  to  the  extent 
that  it  has  developed  new  thoughts 
and  suggestions  for  the  extension  of 
your  business  f 

Have  you  noticed  how  well  the  floricts 
of  several  parts  of  the  country  carried 
out  the  suggestion  of  Z.  D.  Blackistone, 
of  Washington,  D.  C,  in  regard  to  a 
"Say  It  with  Flowers"  weekf 

And  now  comes  the  new  song,  "Say 
It  with  Flowers,"  making  a  big  hit 
wherever  it  is  sung. 

Those  who  have  tied  up  to  these 
plans  have  already  benefited  by  their

adoption  and,  as  the  field  of  endeavor 
has  hardly  yet  been  scratched,  we  may, 
in  the  near  future,  expect  other  good 
ideas  for  strengthening  the  campaign, 
both  national  and  local.  And  can  you 
not  see  in  the  week  and  the  song  the 
enthusiasm  emanating  from  out  na- 
tional campaign,  which  has  been  the 
inspiration  for  both  actions  f 

More  Pep,  More  Profits. 

Opportunities,  more  than  we  yet  real- 


ize, exist  in  our  business  and  the  more 
"pep"  we  can  put  into  our  campaign 
the  larger  will  be  the  results. 

Who  doubts  that  florists  generally 
feel  proud  of  the  effect  of  our  campaign, 
as  yet  but  two  years  old?  Can  you 
conceive  the  outcome  of  several  years' 
action,  both  in  results  and  in  instilled 
energy  as  well? 

Advertising  men  have  argued  for 
years  that  the  door  to  economical  mar- 
keting is  opened  by  advertising  and  a 


concrete  example  of  this  is  the  expe- 
rience of  a  firm  which  began  advertis- 
ing thirty  years  ago  a  camera  which 
took  a  21/^ -inch  picture  and  which  sold 
for  $25.  Today  this  firm  makes  a  far 
better  camera,  which  sells  for  $10, 
simply  proving  that  by  continuous  ad- 
vertising it  not  only  improved  the 
camera,  but,  by  making  and  selling 
more  cameras,  it  was  also  able  to  lower 
the   price,   and   this   in   the   face   of   a

developing  more  uses  for  flowers,  help- 
ing at  the  same  time  the  grower  to 
maintain  a  higher  market  price,  to 
which  he  is  justly  entitled.  This  can 
be  accomplished  if — and  here's  the 
"if" — IF  we  all  back  up  our  campaign 
fund  to  the  extent  that  we  can  spread 
our  message  before  the  American  public 
often  enough  so  that  flowers  will  be 
used  more,  talked  about  more,  yes,  and 
now  sung  about  more.  And  if  the  funds 
which  arc  now  necessary  to  conduct  thia 
campaign  come  in  their  proper  amounts, 
your  returns  will  be  many,  many  times 
your  original  investment. 

Now,  a  word  to  those  who  have  not  as 
yet  contributed:  If  there  is  a  doubt, 
or  shadow  of  a  doubt,  as  to  why  you 
should  contribute,  ask  your  neighbor, 
and  if  he  cannot  tell,  ask  any  of  those 
who  have  already  given. 

La  Rochefoucauld  once  said  that 
"narrowness  of  mind  is  often  the  cause 


of  obstinacy;  we  do  not  easily  believe 
beyond  what  we  see."  If  such  be  the 
case,  look  around  you  and  see  who  the 
contributors  are,  and  do  your  share.

PITTSBURGH. 


The  Market. 

The  dark,  cloudy  weather  which  has 
characterized  the  last  few  weeks  con- 
tinues to  make  the  supply  inadequate 
for  the  demands  made  upon  the  "fash- 
ionable florists,"  who  for  several  weeks 
past  have  had  a  capacity  business  on 
account  of  the  renewed  ardor  of  social 
activities.  Naturally,  this  season's 
debutante  set  is  made  up  of  "buds"  of 
the  three  seasons  of  1917,  1918  and  1919, 
whose  friends  apparently  are  trying  to 
make  up  for  lost  time,  if  one  may  judge 
by  the  large  quantities  of  rare  and 
beautiful  blooms  thus  demanded.  On 
the  other  hand,  the  larger  body  of  retail 
florists  who  maintain  a  more  general 
business  are  complaining  of  business  be- 
ing a  little  slow. 

On  the  whole,  prices  continue  just 
about  the  same  as  they  were  a  year  ago, 
notwithstanding  the  abnormal  demands 


at  that  time.  Roses  vary  from  $6  to 
$30  per  hundred,  while  carnations  are 
$8  straight.  The  supply  departments, 
both  wholesale  and  retail,  are  busy  in 
making  ready  for  the  Christmas  trade. 

Various  Notes. 

Although  J.  M.  Johnston  is  having 
the  best  season  in  the  history  of  his 
afliliated  McKeesport,  Braddock,  Home- 
stead and  Duquesne  stores,  he  is  giving 
them  only  secondary  attention,  since 
both  he  and  his  manager,  F.  D.  Mc- 
Millen,  are  largely  busy  with  the  new 
MdKeesport  gas  boom,  promoting  and 
selling  leases  in  the  gas  belt.  Harry 
Koehbar  has  been  temporarily  trans- 
ferred from  the  McKeesport  store  to  re- 
place Mr.  McMillen  in  the  Braddock 
store. 

Fred  Burki,  president  of  the  Pitts- 
burgh Cut  Flower  Co.,  and  his  wife,  who 
with  their  children,  Roma,  Grace  and 
Albert,  left  early  in  October  for  Cali- 
fornia, have  returned  temporarily  and 
have  been  spending  the  last  three  weeks 
in  and  around  the  city.  Their  intention 
is  to  leave  again  Saturday,  December 
20,  for  the  Pacific  coast,  where  they 
have  purchased  a  beautiful  bungalow  at 
Hollywood  and  expect  to  spend  the 
greater  part  of  each  year.    Fred  Kocher,

The  Market. 

The  market  was  again  short  last  week 
on  all  lines  of  stock.  The  cause  for  this 
is  quite  evident — the  growers  are  hold- 
ing it  back  for  the  holidays  and  higher 
prices.  Koses  were  scarce;  there  was  a 
good  demand,  but  not  enough  stock  to 
satisfy  it.  The  same,  or  perhaps  a  lit- 
tle worse,  condition  existed  in  regard  to 
carnations.  Sweet  peas  were  in  the 
same  category  and  violets  were  hardly

Club  Meeting. 
Monday    evening,    December    8, 


the 


Florists'  Club  held  one  of  the  liveliest 
and  best  meetings  it  has  had  for  a  long 
time.  The  president,  William  F.  Ekas, 
presided.  This  was  decidedly  a  young 
men's  meeting,  there  being  more  of  the 
younger  members  present  than  had  ever 
before  been  seen  at  a  meeting. 


At  7  o'clock  Roliert  L.  Graham,  Jr., 
had  a  meeting  of  the  entertainment 
committee,  at  whicli  jilans  for  the  com- 
ing winter  were  outlined,  and  to  hear 
those  boys  making  tlieir  plans  was  an 
inspiration.  Every  meeting  during  the 
vdnter  has  been  provided  for.  William 
F.  Feast  is  a  member  of  this  committee 
and  he  is  certainly  the  right  man  in 
the  right  place.  Among  other  things 
suggested  by  Mr.  Feast  and  adopted  by 
the  committee  was  a  theater  week,  when 
the  club  will  hold  a  theater  party  at 
which  "Say  It  with  Flowers"  will  be 
well  boosted.  Like  everything  else  that 
Mr.  Feast  is  connected  with,  this  is  to 
be  on  broad  lines;  that  is,  not  only  the 
evening  of  the  theater  party  is   to  be 


taken  care  of,  and  the  house  in  which 
it  is  to  be  held,  but  the  five  principal 
theaters  of  the  city  as  well.  This  will 
mean  work,  but  the  committee  is  one 
that  is  not  afraid  of  work.  "Say  It 
with  Flowers ' '  being  sung  in  five  differ- 
ent theaters  for  six  nights  should  bring 
the  slogan  to  a  goodly  number  of  people. 
There  is  no  doubt  that  this  com- 
mittee means  business.  It  is  composed 
of  a  lot  of  young  hustlers  who  will 
make  things  hum  for  the  club  this  win- 
ter. 

At  the  same  time  that  plans  were 
being  made  for  the  entertainment  this 
winter,  William  E.  McKissick  had  his 
membership  committee  in  another  part 
of  the  hall.    This  committee  has  made

a  census  of  those  engaged  in  the  busi- 
ness who  are  not  members  of  the  club 
and  it  is  the  committee's  intention  that 
these  shall  be  members  within  a  short 
time.  Seven  of  this  number  were  pro- 
posed at  the  meeting,  even  before  the 
committee  had  got  down  to  work.  A 
■ignificant  fact  was  that,  of  the  seven 
members  proposed,  only  one  was  over 
40  years, of  age.  The  committee  has 
adopted  for  its  slogan,  "Go  get  'em." 
John  Nuth,  who  is  a  veritable  wizard 
when  it  comes  to  seedling  chrysanthe- 
mums, had  on  exhibition  a  vase  of  pom- 
pons that  attracted  lots  of  attention. 
The  exhibition  committee  was  of  the 
•pinion  that  these  were  as  fine  a  col- 
lection  of  seedlings  as   they  had  ever 


been  called  upon  to  judge;  they  award- 
ed the  club's  certificate  of  merit. 

Various  Notes. 

One  of  the  most  pleasant  features  of 
the  meeting  of  the  Florists'  Club  was 
the  presence  of  our  old  friend,  Robert 
Halliday,  formerly  with  the  I.  H.  Moss 
Co.  Mr.  Halliday  has  been  on  the  sick- 
list  for  seven  or  eight  months,  but  his 
recovery  is  now  complete  and  he  is 
looking  as  well  as  he  ever  did.  His 
phj'sician,  however,  has  ordered  him  to 
be  in  the  open  air  for  the  next  year  or 
two,  80  he  has  taken  the  agency  for 
Baltimore  and  vicinity  for  the  Henry 
F.  Michell  Co.,  of  Philadelphia.  Now,  if 
any  of  you  want  anything  that  is 
handled  by  this  house  and  will  call  np 


Homewood  1867-J,  you  will  find  Bob  at 
the  other  end  of  the  wire,  ready  to 
take  care  of  your  requirements,  or  a 
postal  card  to  2310  North  Calvert 
street  will  bring  him  to  you.  We  all 
wish  him  success  in  his  new  venture. 

We  have  been  reading  much  of  late 
about  the  enthusiasm  displayed  by  Buf- 
falo florists  in  local  advertising.  They 
had  better  look  to  their  laurels,  as  Balti- 
more has  become  infected  with  the  same 
germ.  Jaseph  S.  Merritt,  the  young 
fellow  who  talks,  eats  and  dreams  "Say 
It  with  Flowers,"  is  chairman  of  the 
local  publicity  committee,  whose  busi- 
ness is  to  have  this  slogan  placed  in 
every  available  place  in  the  city.  The 
committee  is  composed  of  five  young 
men  who  do  not  know  how  to  take  "no"

get  it  there  at  once,  or  if  you  have  not

business  all  ove»  the  world  just  wait-

Andrew  Anderson  has  a  fine  lot  of 
poinsettias  in  pans  that  will  be  just 
right  for  Christmas.  Out  at  this  range

the  outlook  is  fine  for  Christmas;  as 
fine  a  lot  of  poinsettias  as  one  would 
wish  to  look  at  for  cutting  is  to  be

DULUTH,  MINN, 


The  Market. 

Tho  weatlier  continues  cold  with  not 
much  prospect  of  any  change.  The  cut 
flower  trade  has  been  a  little  slow  since 
Thanksgiving  and  stock  of  all  kinds  is 
plentiful.  There  are  still  a  few  good 
chrysanthemums  on  the  market  in 
white,  yellow  and  pink,  which  retail  at 
good  prices.  Pompons  are  good,  al- 
though only  in  moderate  supply,  and 
are  useful  both  as  a  cut  flower  and  for 
body  work  in  funeral  designs.  Stevia 
is  good  stock  and  when  used  in  com- 
bination bouquets  is  light  and  effective. 
Carnations  are  in  moderate  supply  and 
are  fairly  good  stock. 

There  is  an  abundance  of  roses  in  all 
grades.  Russell,  Columbia,  Ward, 
Ophelia  and  Sunburst  are  of  high  qual- 
ity, especially  blooms  in  the  medium 
grade,  which  are  the  best  sellers.  Amer- 
ican Beauties  are  scarce  and  high  in 
price,  although  this  does  not  affect  the 
sale,  as  people  expect  to  pay  a  good 
price  for  Beauties  at  this  season  of 
the  year.  Killarney  and  White  Killar- 
ney  are  coming  in  well.  Cecile  Brun- 
ner  is  scarce. 

Paper  White  and  yellow  narcissi  are 
plentiful  and  sales  are  slow.  There  is 
quite  a  demand  for  Easter  lilies  for 
wedding  decorations,  but  there  does 
not  seem  much  chance  of  an  adequate 
supply  as  most  growers  say  that  there

are  no  lilies  in  sight.  Valley  and  cat-

Double  violets  were  a  little  better  last 
week. 

Funeral  work  was  brisk  all  last  week. 
For  the  last  two  weeks  all  the  stores 
have  had  large  displays  of  artificial 
stock  which  will  now  be  replaced  by 
the  Christmas  plants  and  baskets.  Be- 
cause of  the  fuel  situation  the  hours  of 
the  retail  stores  were  limited  last  week 
to  from  12  noon  to  6  p.  m.,  but  the  re- 
strictions were  lifted  at  the  beginning 
of  this  week. 

Various  Notes. 

J.  J.  Le  Borious  had  a  large  and 
elaborate  decoration  for  the  Mullen 
wedding.  It  took  the  form  of  an  altar 
arrangement  of  palms,  ferns  and  Ophe- 
lia roses.  The  fireplace  was  banked 
with  ferns  and  Ophelia  roses.  The  din- 
ing room  was  decorated  with  Ophelias 
and  the  table  was  showered  with  Cecile 
Brunners.  The  bride's  bouquet  con- 
cisted  of  white  roses  showered  with 
Cecile  Brunners  and  the  maids  carried 
Ophelias. 

The  Duluth  Floral  Co.  was  kept  busy

What  the  florists  would  like  better 
than  anything  else  just  now  is  a  week 
or  more  of  clear,  sunshiny  weather. 
There  has  been  so  much  cloudiness  the 
last  two  months  that  holiday  stock  has 
been  held  back  and  at  this  time  it 
seems  that  everything  will  be  late, 
plants  as  well  as  cut  flowers.  Sweet 
peas  are  especially  in  need  of  sunlight, 
as  the  plants  are  in  good  growth  and 
the  buds  are  forming,  but  there  has  no^ 
been  the  crop  that  there  should  be  for 
cutting  now.  Carnations  are  also  show- 
ing the  effects  of  dark  weather  in  a 
short  supply.  There  are  a  few  white 
narcissi  and  a  little  stevia  in  this  mar- 
ket now.  Mums  are  holding  on  well. 
Some  growers  are  still  cutting  good 
pink  ones  and  also  white. 

Business    has    picked    up     somewhat

since  the  coal  miners  and  operators  have 
come  to  a  settlement  and  the  mining 
of  coal  has  been  resumed.  Fuel  restric- 
tions have  been  gradually  removed  by 
the  fuel  administrator  and  Monday 
morning,  December  15,  all  lines  of  busi- 
ness returned  to  their  normal  hours  of 
opening  and  closing.  The  shorter  busi- 
ness day  and  the  ban  on  social  gather- 
ings worked  a  greater  hardship  on  the 
downtown  retail  florists  than  on  any 
others,  as  all  decorating  was  cut  off 
and  persons  who  bought  flowers  on 
their  way  home  stopped  at  the  outside 
dealers,  because  the  weather  was  so 
cold  that  they  were  afraid  the  flowers 
would  freeze  on  a  long  trip.  The  out- 
side dealers  also  lost  heavily  on  the 
short  day,  however.  With  some  of 
these,  cash  sales  are  usually  heavy  from 
5  until  8  o'clock  in  the  evening  and 
when  5  o'clock  was  the  latest  closing 
hour  permitted  the  outside  shops  were 
closed  by  the  time  the  home-bound  per- 
sons reached  there. 

Funeral  work  has  been  the'  main  part 
of  the  flower  business  the  last  two 
weeks  and  this  has  kept  everyone  fair- 
ly busy.  There  have  also  been  a  good 
many  hospital  orders.  Shipping  busi- 
ness has  been  good  all  the  week.

to  be  prudent  on  their  advance  orders 
for  Beauties  at  these  figures.  Prices 
have  not  varied  much  in  the  last  few 
v^eeks.  Eoses  are  from  $6  to  $20,  carna- 
tions $6,  narcissi  $5,  stevia  $2  per  hun-

T.  J.  Noll  &  Co.  have  been  busy  every

and  have  been  short  on  stock  on  some 
orders,   owing  to  weather  conditions.

at  the  range  of  the  Pinehurst  Floral

the  miuiug  district  all  last  week.  The 
regiment  was  callL'd  out  by  Governor 
Gardner  Monday  morning,  December  8, 
when  a  force  of  volunteers  reported  for 
■work  at  the  Missouri  mines.  Mr.  Car- 
ter was  mess  sergeant  at  a  camp  near 
Oskaloosa,  Mo.  His  company  was 
quartered  in  a  church  and,  according  to 
a  letter  from  him  a  few  .lays  ago,  quite 
comfortably   situated. 

James  Mus«<>  lias  sold  his  cut  flower 
business  in  the  Woolworth  5  and  lu- 
cent store  to  Price  E.  Payne  and  Meyer 
Lieberman. 

An  oak  tree,  said  to  be  200  years  old, 
was  recently  cut  down  in  the  yard  of 
the  J.  C.  Egelhoff  home,  2700  Main 
street.  For  the  last  two  years  the  tree 
has  not  seemed  to  be  in  a  healthy  con- 
dition, but  members  of  the  Egelhoff 
family  who  had  played  around  the  tree 
as  children  were  reluctant  to  have  it 
cut  down.  A  consultation  recently  re- 
sulted in  the  decision  that  the  tree  was 
dead  and  when  it  was  estimated  that  it 
would  yield  several  cords  of  wood  at 
.$1.5  a  cord  it  was  decided  to  cut  the 
tree  down.  The  wood  will  be  burned  in 
the  large  open  fireplace  of  the  home.

lost  an  orchid  in  two  weeks.  Hugo  B. 
Neff  says  that  orchids  and  violets  have 
been  the  favorites  for  corsages  lately 
and  he  has  sold  more  in  the  last  few 
days  than  for  weeks  previous.  Friday 
he  had  orders  for  three  corsages  at  $10 
each,  two  for  $12  and  one  for  $15. 

Mrs.  T.  A.  Moseley  uses  oU  for  fuel 
in  her  greenhouse.  The  burners  were 
installed  a  year  ago  this  winter  and 
have  been  highly  satisfactory. 

R.  S.  Brown  &  Son  are  preparing  for 
a  big  Christmas  trade  and  have  a  good 
stock  of  plants. 

Mrs.  E.  L.  Biel,  Beloit,  Kan.,  and  L. 
H.  Archias,  SedaJia,  Mo.,  visited  this 
city  last  week.  J.  E.  K. 

Xenla,  O. — C.  L.  Fies,  formerly  of  Chi- 
cago, has  bought  land  about  seven  miles 
east  of  Dayton  and  expects  to  erect  two

Business  was  quieter  last  week,  doubt- 
less the  calm  before  the  storm. 

Carnations  are  selling  well  at  $1.25 
per  dozen;  the  somewhat  brighter 
weather  has  caused  the  quality  to  im- 
prove. Boses  are  in  fair  supply  and 
meet  with  ready  demand.  Most  of  the 
other  flowers  are  in  short  supply.  Poin- 
settias,  both  for  cutting  and  as  potted 
plants,  will  be  difficult  to  get,  since  the 
gprowers  have  already  received  orders 
for  most  of  the  stock  on  hand.  Present 
signs  indicate   that    there   will   be   no

surplus    for    Christmas,    but    a    jjreater 
demand. 

No  doubt  the  scarcity  of  trained  help 
is  responsible  for  the  smaller  supply  of 
stock.  Much  has  been  said  regarding 
tlie  increase  of  wages  paid  to  skilled 
florists,  especially  growers,  but  the  in- 
creases have  not  been  in  proportion  to 
the  higher  prices  received  for  green- 
house stock.  Consequently  men  con-

Business  has  been  good  for  the  last 
two  weeks  and  it  has  been  a  hard  mat- 
ter at  times  to  find  enough  good  stock 
to  fill  orders.  However,  the  supply  of 
stock  has  greatly  improved  during  the 
last  few  days  and  there  will  be  a  heavy 
crop  from  now  untU  after  the  holidays. 
Some  fine  roses  are  being  received  and 
find  ready  sales  at  good  prices.  Among 
these  are  Russell,  Columbia,  Hoosier 
Beauty  and  Premier  with  stems  from 
three  to  five  feet  in  length.  These  bring 
from  $6  to  $12  per  dozen.     If  nothing

happens  there  will  be  a  heavy  crop  of 
roses  for  Christmas.  The  carnation  crop 
is  far  below  the  usual  standard  for  this 
season  of  the  year,  as  to  both  quantity 
and  quality  of  blooms.  Owing  to  the  late 
summer  and  fall,  with  so  much  warm 
weather,  the  crop  has  been  almost  a 
failure.  The  Christmas  crop  of  carna- 
tions will  be  only  about  fifty  per  cent 
of  that  of  former  seasons.  There  is  a 
good  crop  of  Paper  Whites  and  there 
will  be  a  heavy  cut  of  these  for  Christ- 
mas. These  retail  readily  at  $2  per 
dozen,  while  there  is  a  strong  wholesale 
demand  for  them  at  $8  per.  hundred. 
Mistletoe  chrysanthemums  are  in  strong 
evidence,  and  there  will  be  a  good  crop 
for  the  holidays.  There  is  a  big  de- 
mand for  them,  and  it  is  no  trouble  to 
get  $10  and  $12  per  dozen  for  the  best 
ones.  There  is  a  good  crop  of  orchids, 
with  indications  of  a  large  Christmas 
crop. 

The  Christmas  situation  is  looked  for-

ward  to  witli  more  or  less  anxiety  by 
the  trade.  Tliere  will  be  about  the  usual 
supply  of  stock,  but  the  indications  are 
that  trade  will  be  a  great  deal  heavier 
than  at  previous  Christmases.  Several 
reasons  are  advanced  for  this  increase 
in  the  demand  for  flowers,  among  which 
are  these:  First,  the  national  publicity 
campaign  is  doing  much  toward  educat- 
ing the  public  and  increasing  the  de- 
mand for  flowers;  second,  there  is  a 
candy  shortage,  which  will  naturally  in- 
crease the  demand  for  flowers;  third, 
the  Knoxville  florists  are  not  asleep 
when  it  comes  to  a  matter  of  placing 
their  merchandise  in  an  inviting  way 
before  the  public,  which  is  learning  fast 
to  "Say  It  with' Flowers."

tions  are  coming  to  this  market.  Vio- 
lets ETC  not  to  be  had,  except  California 
stock,  which  arrives  in  satisfactory  con- 
dition. Paper  White  narcissi  are  plen- 
tiful and  seem  to  clean  up  daily.  Soleil 
d'Or  is  coming  on  again  and  sells  well. 

Various  Notes. 

The  coal  problem  does  not  seem  to  be 
as  serious  here  as  in  some  cities.  Nearly 
everyone  has  a  good  supply  and  with 
the  miners  back  at  work  the  first  days 
of  winter  ought  to  show  a  considerable 
improvement  in  heating  conditions.  The 
retail  merchants  of  Cincinnati  are  al- 
lowed full  business  hours,  but  they  are 
asked  to  shut  off  all  electric  signs,  show 
windows  and  show  cases  when  the  store 
closes  at  the  end  of  the  business  day. 
The  streets  present  an  unusually  dismal 
appearance  after  6  o'clock,  but  every- 
one seems  satisfied  with  the  new  condi- 
tions. 

The  Cincinnati  Florists'  Club  met  at

of  routine  business  little  was  done,  be-

cause  of  small  attendance,  probably  due 
to  everyone  being  busy  with  Christmas 
work.  After  the  first  of  the  year  no 
doubt  everyone  will  do  his  part  and 
keep  up  the  high  standard  of  the  club. 

E.  G.  Hill,  Richmond,  Ind.,  was  a  vis- 
itor last  week.  Mr.  HUl  was  on  his  way 
home  from  the  Indiana  State  Florists' 
Association  convention. 

Gustav  Adrian,  Price  Hill,  will  be  in 
good  crop  for  Christmas  with  white 
Mistletoe  mums,  Christmas  Gold  pom- 
pons and  stevia. 

F.  C.  W.  Brown,  of  the  J.  M.  Gasser 
Co.,  Cleveland,  was  a  visitor  last  week. 

W.  Sundermann  will  have  a  good  cut 
of  Mistletoe  mums  in  a  few  days. 

William  Taylor,  Price  Hill,  has  some 
fine  poinsettias  in  pans  in  perfect  condi- 
tion. 

R.  Witterstaetter,  Price  Hill,  has  the 
finest  yellow  and  white  Mistletoe  mums 
in  this  market.  His  Christmas  Gold 
pompons   are   exceptionally    good.

L.  W.  Wheeler,  of  Gilroy,  Cal.,  was 
born  December  20,  1868,  at  Cherry 
Creek,  near  Jamestown,  N.  Y. 

Eugene  Schattel,  of  Vilmorin-An- 
drieux  &  Co.,  Paris,  was  in  Chicago  De- 
cember 15  and  16,  his  first  visit  since  1915. 

Trade  offers  from  Germany  are  being 
received  with  increasing  frequency.  WU- 
helm  Pfitzer,  of  Stuttgart,  sends  prices 
on  begonia  seed  for  1920. 

During  the  quarter  ended  September 

■/      30,  1919,  exports  of  bulbs  from  Amster- 

J\      dam  to  the  United  States  totaled  $161,- 

953,   being   fifth   in   importance   in  this 

trade,  diamonds,  hides,  rags  and  artificial 

silk  preceding. 

Every  indication  points  to  higher 
prices  on  Paper  Whites  at  Ollioules. 
Where  the  "skindcate"  once  held  them 
up,  the  Holland  and  American  buyers  now 
bid  them  up.  The  Englishman  stands 
back  with  his  hands  up. 

The  official  roster  of  the  Jerome  B. 
Rice  Seed  Co.,  Cambridge,  N.  Y.,  is: 
President,  Jerome  B.  Rice,  Jr.;  vice-pres- 
ident and  treasurer,  C.  E.  Smith;  secre- 
tary, John  L.  Hunt;  auditor,  H.  S.  Hoard. 
The  business  was  established  in  1832  and 
incorporated  in  1886. 

German  seedsmen  who  send  price  lists 
to  former  American  customers  are  quoting 
in  dollars  and  asking  payment  through 
bankers  in  advance,  the  former  in  order 
to  avoid  loss  through  low  exchange  and 
the  latter  to  protect  themselves  against 
seizure  of  their  accounts  in  case  of  interna- 
tional financial  or  political  difficulties. 

The  California  Certified  Seed  Potato 
Growers'  Association  has  been  organized 
at  Los  Angeles,  with  (Jeorge  Peters  as 
president.  The  state  legislature  of  Cali- 
fornia has  appropriated  $10,000  to  pro- 
mote the  improvement  of  seed  potatoes. 
The  new  association  will  cooperate  with 
state  officials  in  developing  state-grown 
seed  potatoes,  so  that  shipments  from 
other  states  will  not  be  required. 

Charles  L.  Atlee,  for  twenty-nine 
years  manager  of  the  mail  order  division 
of  the  W.  Atlee  Burpee  Co.,  Philadelphia, 
has  taken  a  similar  position  with  the  John 
A.  Salzer  Seed  Co.,  La  Crosse,  Wis.  The 
personnel  of  this  firm  is  as  follows :  Presi- 
dent, John  P.  Salzer;  vice-president, 
Kenneth  E.  Salzer;  secretary,  Carl  Rau; 
general  manager,  W.  D,  Weedy.  Since 
1868,  when  John  A.  Salzer  founded  this 
business,  it  has  g^-own  steadily  until  now 
it  employs  more  than  500  people  and  its 
warehouses,  offices,  etc.,  occupy  more 
than  seven  acres  of  floor  space.  The 
latest  addition  to  these  buildings  is  of 
tapestry  brick  and  has  numerous  im- 
provements, including  washed  air  and  an 
automatically  controlled  heating  system. 

VALLEY  FROM  HOLLAND. 

Though  no  receipts  are  yet  here  from 
Hamburg,  since  the  steamer  Abraham 
Lincoln  has  not  arrived,  several  ship- 
ments of  valley  pips  have  reached  New 
York  from  Holland.  The  first,  of  eighty 
cases  for  McHutchison  &  Co.,  was  an- 
nounced last  week.  On  the  steamer 
Zuiderdyk,  from  Rotterdam,  which  ar-

Tbe  Need  For  Tested  Seeds. 

"  'As  ye  sow,  so  shall  ye  reap.'  The 
truth  of  this  text  is  universally  ac- 
cepted in  theory  and  has  been  since  the 
dawn  of  history.  In  practice,  however, 
many  planters  either  fail  to  grasp  its 
truth  or  believe  that  congenial  growing 
conditions  can  be  made  to  overcoi  '^  the 
influences  of  heredity  in  seed,"  sail  E. 
E.  Bennett,  of  Boise,  Idaho,  at  the  vege- 
table growers'  conference  at  R'verside, 
Oal.,  last  summer. 

"To  discuss  this  question  intelligent- 
ly, we  must  first  define  what  is  meant 
by  good  seed.  Good  seed  from  the 
planter's  standpoint  is  seed  of  a  given 
variety  of  good  viability,  from  high- 
yielding,  healthy  plants,  true  to  type 
and  free  from  the  influences  of  poUeniza- 
tion  from  other  varieties  or  undesirable 
strains  of  the  same  variety.  All  these 
characteristics  are  invisible  and  so  in- 
tangible that  it  is  easy,  to  forget  their 
importance  and  to  trust  to  luck  in  secur- 
ing seed  stock  for  planting. 

Where  Heredity  Counts. 

* '  By  far  the  larger  part  of  the  experi- 
ments and  literature  on  the  subject  of 
gardening  pertains  to  the  culture — en- 
vironment— rather  than  to  the  heredity 
of  the  plants  with  which  we  work.  To 
say  which  of  these  two  factors  in  truck 
growing  is  more  important  is  to  bring 
up  the  perennial  question  of  heredity 
versus  environment.  Anyone  who  cul- 
tivates a  garden  realizes  the  necessity 
for  providing  the  proper  fertility,  mois-

which  every  seed  contains,  which  has 
been  carried  from  generation  to  genera- 
tion, and  which  determines  whether  the 
flesh  of  a  cantaloupe  will  be  salmon 
color  or  green,  although  not  seen  in  the 
seed,  is  of  vital  importance  to  the 
grower. 

The  Age  of  Seeds. 

"Not  infrequently  growers  attribute 
crop  failures  to  the  age  of  the  seed 
sown.  For  many  years  we  have  been 
told  by  gardeners  that  the  tendency 
of  root  crops  to  go  to  seed  the  first 
year  was  due  to  the  fact  that  the  seed 
sown  was  old — meaning  that  it  was  more 
than  one  year  old.  We  have  found  no 
evidence  that  this  is  necessarily  true. 
In  the  case  of  celery  our  experience  has 
been  that  failure  to  make  a  crop,  or 
seeding,  was  more  likely  to  be  the  re- 
sult of  poor  cultural  methods.  A  check 
in  the  growth  of  the  plants  will  cause 
celery  to  seed,  and  the  same  may  be  true 
of  the  root  crops  also. 

"There  is  no  question  that  the  age

of  the  seed  is  an  important  factor  in 
successful  gardening.  We  believe,  how- 
ever, that  this  is  largely  a  matter  of 
viability.  Many  vegetable  seeds  will 
fail  to  grow  when  more  than  one  season 
old,  and  possibly  some  of  those  that  do 
grow  may  be  so  weakened  as  to  fail  to 
produce  as  would  fresh  seeds.  It  is  a 
.  peculiar  fact  that  some  species  that  it 
would  seem  should  retain  their  vitality 
will  become  worthless  after  one  season, 
while  other  seemingly  more  tender 
plants  retain  their  viability  for  long 
periods.  The  onion  seems  to  hold  the 
record  for  inability  to  retain  life,  while 
the  cucurbits  may  grow  even  after  a 
lapse  of  eight  or  ten  years. 

Use  Seeds  From  Sno-wn  Sources. 

"Unquestionably  the  safe  plan  for 
the  trucker  is  to  use  only  such  seed  as  is 
known  to  be  new,  or  at  least  this  system 
should  be  followed  so  far  as  is  possible. 
Every  gardener  realizes  the  importance 
of  good  seed  and  there  seems  to  be  a 
growing  tendency  among  the  better 
growers  to  produce  their  own  seeds  so 
far  as  is  practicable.  Where  this  is  done 
intelligently,  with  a  view  to  improving 
the  variety  or  strain,  the  work  is  un- 
doubtedly profitable.  We  shall  hardly  be 
able  to  dispense  with  the  professional 
seedsman,  however.  It  is  to  him  that  we 
must  look  for  the  greater  part  of  the 
seeds  used,  as  well  as  for  much  of  the 
standardization  and  improvement  of  our 
-vegetable  crop."

The  retail  end  of  the  business  is  running 
along  smoothly,  Mr.  Nevraumont  states, 
and  he  is  looking  forward  to  an  excep- 
tionally good  spring  business. 

C.  C.  Morse  &  Co.  are  practically 
cleaned  up  on  Holland  bulb  importa-

volume  of  future  dahlia  orders,  a  line 
which  the  firm  has  been  particularly 
interested  in  for  the  last  three  years. 

Mr- Hallawell,  of  the  Hallawell  Seed

The  Florists^  Review 


DBCIMBIK  18.   Idl9. 


better  than  he  expected.  The  recent 
rains  have  stimulated  the  purchase  of 
rose  bushes  and  ornamental  shrubs. 
Due  to  the  scarcity  of  stock  of  this 
character,  most  of  the  retailing  nurs- 
erymen expect  an  early  call  for  it. 

The  potted  plants  from  the  Cottage 
Gardens  Co.,  of  Eureka,  are  coming  in. 
This  stock  is  about  a  month  ahead  of 
the  Belgian  stock  and  is  said  to  be  in 
first-rate  condition. 

The  C.  Kooyman  Co.  is  receiving  reg- 
ular shipments  of  poinsettias  from  the 
southern  part  of  the  state  and  Mr. 
Kooyman  reports  a  fairly  large  demand 
for  the  blooms. 

The  staff  of  Enomoto  &  Co.  is  exceed- 
ingly busy  with  eastern  orders  for  Cali- 
fornia     red       berries,       woodwardias, 
thistles,  etc.,  in  addition  to  the  usual 
violet  trade,  which  is  quite  good  this 
''    year.     The  violets  are  much  improved 
I     over  those  of  last  week,  some  of  which 
*    were  damaged  by  the  severe  wind  storm. 

Domoto  Bros,  are  shipping  large 
orders  of  violets  both  to  the  east  and 
the  northwest.  Their  violet  stock  is 
much  improved  since  last  week.  Some 
fine  azalea  plants  have  been  taken  from 
the  nurseries  already  and  Mr.  Domoto 
says  that  there  will  be  a  good  supply 
of  poinsettia  plants  ready  for  the  holi- 
days. 

A  splendid  showing  of  ferns  was  seen 
at  the  United  Flower  ft  Supply  Co. 
store,  on  Bush  street,  last  week.  This 
concern  has  a  good-sized  stock  of  potted 
plants,  including  cyclamens,  begonias, 
Boston  ferns,  palms,  etc.  In  addition, 
the  company  has  a  good  stock  on  hand  of 
dried  Japanese  lotus  seed  pods,  which 
are  greatly  in  demand  by  florists  for 
decorative  work. 

The  E.  W.  McLellan  Co.  is  moving 
large  quantities  of  violets  just  now  and 
is  busy  keeping  up  with  rose  ship- 
ments. The  cutting  of  American  Beau- 
ties has  commenced  at  the  nurseries 
and  Henry  Avansino,  manager  of  the 
Bush  street  store,  states  that  the  de- 
mand for  Beauties  promises  to  exceed 
that  of  last  year. 

.  J.  A.  Axell  is  busy  getting  settled  in 
the  enlarged  quarters.  The  store  now 
has  a  main  entrance  of  its  own  at  463 
Bush  street,  which  will  add  greatly  to 
the  convenience  of  handling  trade. 

W.  A.  Moore,  of  the  Hollywood  Gar- 
dens, of  Seattle,  was  in  San  Francisco 
last  week,  calling  on  the  trade  and 
doing  some  holiday  buying  in  the  line 
of  gift  novelties,  fish  aquaria  and  the 
like. 

Mrs.  Meldrum,  of  the  Meldrum  Floral 
Shop,  at  Sacramento,  Cal.,  was  another 
visitor  last  week. 

-Top  Varsi,  of  Richmond,  has  been 
commissioned  to  do  the  holiday  street 
J.-oArations  for  the  Merchants'  Associa- 
tion of  the  Richmond  district.  He 
plans  to  use  redwood  garlands  and 
wreaths  and  California  red  berries. 

The  Nelligan  Sisters  report  a  home 
wedding  order  in  which  chrysanthe- 
mums, azaleas  and  pink  roses  will  be 
used. 

For  a  wedding  of  considerable  size, 
held  December  13,  the  decoration  was 
provided  by  A.  O.  Stein.  The  room  in 
which  the  ceremony  was  held  had  a 
background  of  redwood,  with  yellow 
and  gold  chrysanthemums  for  the  main 
color  note.  Poinsettias,  arranged  not 
too  prominently,  gave  the  holiday  at- 
mosphere to  the  affair.  The  bride's 
bouquet  was  of  orchids  and  gardenias. 
This  shop  will  also  decorate  a  wedding 
which  is  to  be  held  in  the  Empirn  room

Pressure  of  business  has  kept  nursery- 
men from  their  usual  attendance  at  state 
and  sectional  trade  meetings  this  fall. 

Officers  of  the  Waxahachie  Nursery 
Co.,  at  Waxahachie,  Tex.,  are:  President 
and  manager,  J.  E.  Mayhew;  secretary, 
G.  H.  Bladimon.  The  company's  capital 
stock  is  $92,500. 

Elmer  Rice,  of  Springdale,  Ark.,  de- 
livered 135,000  apple  trees  this  season. 
He  had  orders  for  twice  that  total,  but 
was  unable  to  fiU  them.  It  is  estimated 
that  500,000  trees  have  been  sold  in  that 
locality  this  fall,  most  of  them  being  4- 
year-old  trees. 

The  owners  of  the  Austin  Nursery, 
Chicago,  Henry  J.  Stockman  and  Robert 
Barton,  have  leased  250  acres  of  land, 
known  as  the  Utica  Black  Ball  Cement 
Farm,  just  east  of  La  Salle,  111.,  and  ex- 
pect to  employ  thirty  to  fifty  men  in  grow- 
ing small  nursery  stock,  mushrooms  and 
French  endives. 

The  "Western  Association  of  Nursery- 
men will  hold  its  next  annual  meeting 
January  28  and  29  at  the  Hotel  Baltimore, 
Kansas  City,  Mo.  The  present  officers 
are:  President,  Earl  D.  Needham,  Des 
Moines,  la.;  vice-president,  E.  P.  Bemar- 
din.  Parsons,  Kan.;  secretary-treasurer, 
Gteorge  W.  Holsinger,  Rosedale,  Kan. 

As  the  result  of  recent  court  action, 
L.  J.  Miner,  of  Upland,  Cal.,  was  pre- 
vented from  collecting  on  the  note  of 
J.  Frank  Hollenbaugh,  a  local  rancher, 
for  $140,  alleged  to  be  due  on  the  pur- 
chase or  citrus  nursery  stock.  Judge 
Gteorge  Crane  held  that  the  stock,  pur- 
chased two  years  ago,  was  diseased  and 
that  the  defendant  had  already  sustained 
heavy  loss,  having  planted  the  trees  and 
worked  on  them  for  two  years,  only  to  be 
obliged  to  pull  them  out  and  replant. 


SXTMMEB    PLANTING. 


An  Income  the  Tear  Around. 

Don't  all  say  at  once,  "Impossible." 
I  forgot  whose  definition  it  was,  but 
somebody  defined  impossible  as  some- 
thing difficult  for  the  ancients.  Sum- 
mer planting  is  not  only  possible,  but 
the  biggest  asset  to  any  nurseryman's 
business.  Bare-rooted  trees  cannot  be 
transplanted  after  the  sap  has  come  up, 
but  when  trees  are  taken  up  with  a  ball 
of  earth  intact  around  the  roots,  they 


A  paper  on  "Summer  Planting  and  a  Year- 
Around  Income,"  read  by  W.  C.  Grifflng,  Port 
Arthur,  Tex.,  before  the  Southwestern  Associa- 
tion of  Nurserymen  at  Deniion,  Tex. 


can  be  handled  at  any  time  of  the  year, 
it  matters  not  what  the  season. 

Most  of  us  are  familiar  with  balling 
and  burlappingj  as  this  process  is  called. 
For  the  benefit  of  those  who  are  not,  I 
may  say  that  it  is  one  of  the  most  won< 
derful  adventures  in  the  nursery  and 
landscape  business.  A  tree,  shrub  or 
plant  is  dug  without  disturbing  the 
roots.  Growth  continues  just  as  though 
that  tree  or  plant  had  never  been  moved 
from  the  earth  in  which  it  originally 
grow.  The  surrounding  earth,  which  is 
litted  intact,  yields  nonrishment  and 
S'3rve8  as  protection  for  the  roots  until 
the  tree  or  shrub  is  transplanted. 

No  Closed  SeaBon. 

"We  used  to  think,  as  many  do  now, 
when  we  were  digging  stock  bare- 
rooted  and  getting  from  15  cents  to  25 
cents  for  a  peach  tree,  that  when  the 
sap  went  down  we  could  commence  dig- 
ging and  that  -when  the  sap  came  up  in 
the  spring  our  season  was  closed.  We 
would  then  let  half  or  more  of  our  office 
and  field  forces  go,  in  that  way  losing 
trained  help,  and  stop  planting  until  the 
following  November,  being  compelled 
then  to  break  in  a  new  set  of  workers. 

The  nursery  business  is  divided  into 
departments,  fruit,  ornamental  and  so 
on.  And  there  are  different  methods  in 
selling.  Some  sell  through  direct  mail- 
order trade  and  some  through  salesmen 
on  the  road;  then  there  is  a  general  line 
of  landscape  planting  locally  that  every 
nurseryman  and  florist  has  to  take  care 
of.  Summer  planting  applies  principally 
to  the  ornamental  department  and  to 
those  who  have,  or  should  have,  a  land- 


scape department  connected  with  their 
establishments. 

•  We  are  looking  to  the  moneyed  man 
for  our  long  profits  and  not  to  the  old- 
time  buyer,  who  planted  four  peaches 
in  his  back  yard  and  three  sycamores 
on  his  front  walk.  The  big  man's  fan- 
cies come  and  go  over  night,  and  when 
he  gets  the  home  bee  in  his  bonnet, 
then  is  the  time  we  want  to  reach  out 
and  be  of  service  to  him  in  improving 
his  surroundings,  even  though  it  is  the 
first  part  of  August. 

You  may  come  back  at  me  and  say 
that  there  is  something  in  the  atmos- 
phere or  climate  of  the  gulf  coast  coun- 
try that  permits  us  to  move  this  stock 
at  this  time  of  year,  but  that  is  far  from 
being  true.  We  move  our  stock  directly 
from  the  field  to  the  yard  with  hardly 
any  losses.  In  the  event  that  it  is  a 
failure  with  you,  try  the  next  best  way

— defoliate  about  one-half,  place  in  the 
packing  shed  and  keep  damp  from  one 
to  three  weeks  until  new  roots  form  in 
the  ball  of  earth.  Another  good  method 
is  to  ball  and  burlap  the  stock  prior  to 
the  months  of  April  and  May  and  place 
this  stock  in  a  lath  house  or  packing 
shed,  heeled  in  shingletow  or  hay;  the 
tops  should  be  kept  well  sprinkled. 
Then,  just  do  enough  planting  on  your 
jobs  to  cinch  them  and  keep  your  labor 
busy  and  your  customer  happy. 

lAidsummer  Jobs  and  Mutual  Joy. 

When  stock  is  handled  in  this  way, 
the  plants  go  to  your  customer  with 
leaves  on  them  and  he  likes  that  imme- 
diate effect  in  the  appearance.  He  feels 
much  better  about  the  spirseas,  althaeas, 
crepe  myrtle  and  many  other  of  our  de- 
ciduous shrubs  than  he  would  if  they 
were  put  out  in  the  winter  months 
without  a  leaf  on  them.  And  there  is  a 
great  advantage  in  planting  evergreen 
trees  and  shrubs  in  summer,  for  they 
will  live  much  more  readily  when 
planted  in  the  warm  ground.  By  the 
time  you  get  your  customer's  job  fin- 
ished in  January  that  you  started  in 
July,  the  bushes  that  have  already  been 
put  in  have  made,  under  the  increase 
of  water  and  attention  given  them,  a 
good  growth  and  they  are  in  a  much 
better  position  to  stand  the  following 
spring's  drought  than  if  they  had  been 
planted  during  the  winter  months.  Con- 
sequently your  man  immediately  be- 
comes interested  and  the  result  is  that 
he  thinks  he  has  done  as  much  towards 
the  building  and  beautification  of  his 
place  as  you  have  and  there  is  an  in- 
terest manifested  that  makes  him  happy. 

Better  than  Side  Line. 

I  believe  that,  if  a  commercial  sales- 
man could  lay  before  you  something  as 
a  side  line  that  would  care  for  your  la- 
bor situation  in  the  summer,  most  of  you 
would  be  willing  to  incur  an  expendi- 
ture of  $1,000  to  $5,000  in  enlarging 
your  business  to  take  it  on.  Now,  I  have 
a  far  different  proposition;  your  packing 
sheds  are  built,  your  help  is  already 
lined  up,  your  trees  and  bushes  are 
grown  and,  instead  of  investing  that 
$1,000  to  $5,000,  let  us  get  on  the  job 
with  a  little  close  observation  and  give 
it  a  thorough  and  fair  trial.

FOUR 

VARIETIES 

That  Fill  a  Gap 

While  the  "Mum"  season  is 
still  fresh  in  your  memory,  run 
over  your  list  of  pink  varieties. 
Have  you  anything  good  that 
blooms  between  Unaka  and 
Chieftain?  We  offer  these  four 
varieties  to  fill  this  gap.  The 
first  two  compare  favorably 
with  your  varieties  in  other 
colors  blooming  at  the  same 
time,  while  the  latter  two  will 
rank  with  the  best  midseason 
sorts.  Being  easy  doers,  and 
giving  a  full  percentage  of  per- 
fect blooms,  they  will  find  a 
place  among  the  commercial 
varieties.

Our  prettiest  yards  are  planted  in  mid- 
summer and  people  think  us  strange  and 
wonderful,  for  a  few  years  back  they 
could  not  conceive  the  idea  of  planting 
a  large  bush  or  tree  even  in  the  winter, 
to  say  nothing  of  the  summer.  I  used 
to  feel  as  if  I  wanted  to  carry  my  cata- 
logue in  my  inside  pocket,  because  I 
did  not  care  to  have  some  people  I  saw 
know  that  I  was  in  the  nursery  busi- 
ness. But  today  is  different.  People  are 
traveling  and  seeing  excellent  plantings; 
they  are  a  topic  of  conversation  at  tea 
parties,  and  the  Ladies'  Home  Journal, 


the  Home  Beautiful  and  other  papers  of 
their  type  are  devoting  from  one  to  five 
pages  to  them.  Ours  is  getting  to  be  a 
real  profession. 

Know  More  tlian  Your  Customer. 

The  average  old-style  tree  salesman 
cannot  go  out  and  interest  a  man  in  a 
$2,500  planting.  For  these  reasons,  it 
is  up  to  us  to  put  our  whole  hearts  and 
Bouls  into  the  business.  We  ourselves 
must  study  and  also  teach  our  employees 
in  open  discussion.  Teach  them  to  speak 
of  the  aucuba  as  a  pretty  little  plant 


from  the  Himalaya  mountains  in  Asia, 
and  of  the  Cedrus  Deodara  as  the  cedar 
about  which  Kipling  writes  so  many 
pleasing  stories,  and  so  on.  For  you 
<know  as  well  as  I  do,  and  the  fact  has 
never  been  different,  that  if  you  do  not 
know  more  than  your  customer,  you 
stand  a  mighty  poor  chance  of  getting 
his  attention. 

Comparatively  speaking,  there  are  as 
jet  only  a  few  landscape  gardeners  and 
nurserymen  who  have  adopted  the  prac- 
tice of  summer  planting.  But  it  is  rap- 
idly coming  to  the  front.

NEWPOET,  R.  I. 


Horticultural  Society. 

At  the  annual  meeting  of  the  New- 
port Horticultural  Society,  held  at 
Music  Hall,  Tuesday  evening,  Decem- 
ber 9,  the  fund  for  the  greenhouses  at 
Wallum  Lake,  the  state  sanatorium  for 
the  treatment  of  tuberculosis  patients, 
received  substantial  additions.  There 
was  a  fine  exhibition  of  mushrooms  by 
William  Gray,  gardener  for  W.  B. 
Leeds,  and  he  was  awarded  besides  the 
society's  cultural  certificate  a  gratuity 
of  $5. 

The  annual  reports  of  the  president, 
secretary,  treasurer  and  executive  com- 
mittee were  read,  showing  the  society 
to  be  in  an  excellent  condition,  financial- 
ily  and  numerically,  while  the  work 
accomplished  during  the  last  year  at 
exhibitions  and  regular  meetings  had 
been  highly  satisfactory.  Notice  was 
also  given  of  an  illustrated  lecture, 
"New  Plants,"  to  be  given  January 
13  by  Professor  Jack,  of  the  Arnold 
Arboretum. 

The  following  of&cers  were  elected 
and  installed:  President,  Arthur  W. 
Potter,  Jr.;  first  vice-president,  Andrew 
J.  Dorward;  second  vice-president, 
Charles  Philpot;  recording  secretary, 
Frederick  P.  Webber;  financial  secre- 
tary, William  Gray;  treasurer,  Richard 
H.  Gardner;  sergeant-at-arms,  William 
F.  Smith;  executive  committee,  officers 
ex-officio,  with  Andrew  S.  Meikle, 
Bruce  Butterton,  John  B.  Urquhart, 
William  MacKaye,  Frederick  Carter, 
Alexander  MacLellan,  William  F. 
Smith  and  James  Robertson;  auditing 
committee,  Herbert  Bliss,  Bruce  But- 
terton and  Andrew  S.  Meikle;  entertain- 
ment committee,  Herbert  Bliss,  An- 
drew J.  Dorward,  Parker  Thurston, 
Howard  G.  Ward  and  Robert  Dunn. 

Various  Notes. 

Edward  J.  Hass  has  accepted  a  posi- 
tion as  head  gardener  at  Imlian  Spring, 
the  Bush  estate,  recently  puri-liasfd  l)y 
J.  Francis  A.  Clarke. 

Everybody  reports  good  business,  with 
an  unusual  number  of  orders  for 
wreaths  and  greens  for  Christmas.  In- 
dications are  for  a  busy  holiday  trade.

Carnation  Morning  Glow 

Has  now  been  on  trial  in  the  Boston  Market  for  4  years  and  has  made  good. 
It  is  there  considered  one  of  the  "bread  and  butter"  Carnations. 
The  grower  likes  it  because  it  is  an  easy  doer. 
The  seller  likes  it  because  it  is  a  splendid  shipper  and  keeper. 
The  ladies  like  it  for  its  rosy  morning  glow  shade. 
MORNING  GLOW  is  early,  free,  with  a  good,  strong  stem.  It  has  no  tricks 

about  it. 
While  not  one  of  the  largest,  it  is  probably  the  most  profitable  of  all  Carnations. 
Sold  by  the  originator.         Rooted  cuttings. 
$7.00   per   100;    $6S.OO    per    1000.

County  Florists  Meet. 

The  Lancaster  County  Florists'  Club 
held  its  monthly  meeting  December  11 
in  Brenneman  hall,  Lancaster.  The  fol- 
lowing oflScers  were  nominated  for  1920: 
President,  M.  J.  Brinton;  vice-presi- 
dent, B.  F.  Barr;  secretary,  Albert  M. 
Herr;  treasurer,  Harry  K.  Eohrer.  The 
club  went  on  record  as  being  in  favor 
of  the  S.  A.  F.  proposed  publicity  pro- 
gram for  St.  Valentine's  day.  The 
next  meeting  of  the  club  will  be  held  in 
the  rooms  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce 
Thursday,  January  15,  1920,  when  an 
illustrated  lecture  on  "Holland"  will 
be  given  by  B.  F.  Barr 's  new  landscape 
gardener. 

After  the  business  meeting  a  social 
session  was  held.  Among  the  card- 
players,  the  first  prize  in  the  game  of 
"500"  was  won  by  Mrs.  B.  Frank 
Barr;  the  second,  by  Mrs.  Elmer  J. 
Weaver,  and  the  third,  by  Mrs.  A.  F. 
Strickler.  The  winners  in  the  men's 
classes  were  Charles  B.  Herr,  of  Stras- 
burg,  Ira  H.  Landis  and  A.  F.  Strickler. 
At  bowling  some  high  scores  were 
rolled.  Mr.  Dyer  won  the  rake  and 
Albert  M.  Herr,  the  hoe. 

A  buffet  luncheon  was  served  and, 
altogether,  a  decidedly  pleasant  eve- 
ning was  spent  by  all.  The  affair  was 
arranged  by  A.  F.  Strickler,  L.  S. 
Landis  and  H.  K.  Eohrer. 

Various  Notes. 

Continued  cloudy  weather  forecasts  a 
short  cut  of  flowers  for  Christmas  week. 
The  numerous  geranium  rooting  estab- 
lishments around  Lancaster  have  had 
considerable  losses  in  rooting  cuttings, 
because  of  unfavorable  weather  condi- 
tions. 

Five  of  the  Lancaster  county  florists 
have  taken  life  memberships  in  the  S. 
A.  F.  H.  K.  B.

of  glass  and  two  feet  of  ventilators  in 
the  north  side.  The  house  is  of  pipe- 
frame  construction.  How  many  flows 
and  returns  shall  we  need  on  either  side 
and  in  the  middle? 

House  No.  4  will  be  connected  with 
the  new  house.  We  intend  to  run  mains 
through  the  door  leading  to  No.  4,  then 
drop  one  and  one-half  feet  to  get  under 
the  7-foot  gutter;  this  would  allow  us 
a  1-foot  drop  to  every  fifty  feet  of  heat- 
ing pipe  on  the  south  side  and  approxi- 
mately a  10-inch  drop  to  every  fifty  feet 
in  the  middle  and  on  the  north  side.  Is 
this  sufficient,  or  would  it  be  better  to 
build  a  lean-to  on  the  west  end  of  the 
new  house?  Running  the  main  through 
in  this  way  would  give  two  feet  more  of 
drop. 

We  now  have  a  Kroeschell  boiler, 
size  3,  which  heats  the  four  old  houses. 
What  size  of  boiler  shall  we  need  to  heat 
the  entire  range,  including  a  lean-to, 
5x50  feet,  on  the  west  end  of  the  new 
house?  The  latter  is  to  be  used  as  a 
cold  house.  The  heat  required  is  60 
degrees  at  10  below  zero. 

P.  B.— N.  y. 


Although  the  letter  does  not  state  how 
much  heat  will  be  required  in  the  old 
houses,  I  infer  that  an  average  of  60 
degrees  will  answer.  The  sketch  shows 
that  these  houses  are,  respectively, 
20x100,  18x71,  18x71  and  15x69  feet. 
In  house  No.  1  there  is  two  feet  of  glass 
in  each  of  the  side  walls,  but  the  others 
all  have  wooden  walls.  About  5,000 
square  feet  of  radiation  will  be  required 
for  the  range,  including  the  new  house, 
but  it  would  be  best  to  use  a  boiler 
rated  at  about  6,000  square  feet  of  hot 
water  radiation  or,  better  yet,  two 
boilers  of  about  3,000  square  feet  each. 
In  mild  weather  one  boiler  will  furnish 
the  heat  needed,  while  the  other  can  be 
held  in  reserve  for  use  in  severe 
weather  and  in  case  repairs  are  needed 
in  the  other  boiler. 

About  one-half  of  the  above  radiation 
will  be  needed  in  the  new  house.  Either 
five  3-inch  or  six  2V^-inch  flow  pipes 
should  be  used.  These  should  be  con- 
nected with  a  main  at  the  west  end  of 
the  house,  the  main  to  be  carried 
through  the  lean-to  as  suggested.  One 
of  the  flow  pipes  may  be  placed  on  each 
of  the  side  wall  plates  and  the  others 
may  be  supported  on  purlin  posts,  or  sus- 
pended from  the  purlins,  in  case  a  truss 
roof  is  used. 

For  a  house  of  this  length  it  will  be 
advisable  to  use  2-inch  pipes  for  the  re-

It  will  pay  you  to  consider  the  advantages  of  KROESCHELL 
BOILERS  for  Hot  Water  or  Steam  no  matter  how  large  or 
small  the  size  of  your  establishment. 

The  superiority  of  our  boilers  has  resulted  in  the  removal  arid 
abolishment  of  hundreds  of  cast  iron  sectional  boilers— in  every 
instance  KROESCHELL  BOILERS  give  more  heat  with  the 
same  piping  with  less  fuel. 

KROESCHELL  BOILERS  have  no  bulky,  soot- accumulating 
surfaces— you  avoid  the  disagreeable  work  and  trouble  indis- 
pensable to  cleaning  boilers  with  complicated  and  tortuous  back 
and  forth  fire  passages. 


The  high  safety  factor  of  KROESCHELL  BOILERS  eliminates 
the. danger  of  cracking  and  break -down  risks. 

Successful  greenhouse  owners  everywhere  insist  upon  KROE- 
SCHELL BOILERS  because  they  are  dependable  and  economical 
— yon'get  better  and  longer  service— you  can  reduce  your  heating 
costs  by  burning  the  cheapest  grades  of  soft  coal. 

It  is  a  sign  of  scientific  management  to  own  a  KROESCHELL 
—a  business  management  that  insures  a  responsi\e,  efficient 
andlprofitable  heating  system. 

The  supremacy  of  KROESCHELL  BOILERS 

is   proven    by    their  country-wide    adoption.

turns.  About  twenty-one  will  be  re- 
quired. Four  will  be  needed  on  the 
south  wall  and  three  or  four  should  be 
placed  on  the  north  wall.  The  remainder 
should  be  distributed  either  under  the 
benches  or  in  the  walks  if  solid  beds 
are  used. 

It  is  not  necessary  to  give  a  slope  to 
the  pipes  in  order  to  secure  a  good  cir- 
•'ulation  of  the  water.  A  slope  is  only 
necessary  in  order  to  allow  the  air  to 
escape  when  the  pipes  are  filled  with 
water.  For  this,  one  inch  in  twenty 
feet  will  generally  answer  and  even 
less  will  suffice  if  the  pipes  are  care- 
fully graded  and  supported,  thus  pre- 
venting any  sags  in  the  line.  In  order 
to  secure  a  rapid  circulation  of  the 
water,  the  returns  should  be  placed  as 
high  above  the  boiler  as  possible.  Par- 
ticularly when  small  flow  pipes  are 
used,  it  is  advisable  to  slope  them  away 
from  the  boiler,  since  the  circulation 
depends  upon  the  relative  weight  of  the 
water  on  either  side  of  the  highest 
point  in  the  system.  For  this  reason, 
it  is  advisable  to  arrange  the  system  in

Gentlemen:  Please  send  me  2j  record  plates 
like  the  enclosed  sample,  and  I  want  to  say  that 
the  machine,  bought  a  good  many  years  back, 
is  keeping  up  its  good  work  right  along.  I  think 
it  a  very  useful  adjunct  to  good  plant  growing, 
and  it  should  be  in  every  greenhouse,  as  refer- 
ence to  it  may  often  tell  what  is  wrong  with  a 
batch  of  plants.       Very  truly  yours,

The  actuating  element  of  the  Standard  Record- 
ing Thermometer  is  of  lamina  metal,  which,  be- 
sides being  extremely  sensitive  to  temperature 
changes,  is  practically  indestructible.  Record 
charts  are  furnished  either  daily  or  weekly,  and 
the  whole  mechanism  is  contained  in  an  attractive 
metal  case  fitted  with  lock  and  key,  which  insures 
the  record  from  being  tampered  with. 

The  clock  movement  is  of  extremely  high  grade;

cooling  of  the  water  until  it  has  passed 
the  highest  point  in  the  system.  This 
arrangement  also  makes  it  possible  to 
dispense  with  the  use  of  air  valves,  as 
the  expansion  tank  should  be  connected 
with  the  highest  point  in  the  system. 


PIPINO  A  UBAN-TO. 

I  have  a  lean-to  greenhouse,  10x20 
feet,  that  I  want  to  use  for  tomato  and 
cabbage  plants,  starting  February  15. 
I  have  a  Wilks  hot  water  boiler  and 
should  like  to  know  whether  I  can  use 
1^-inch  pipe  for  the  flow  and  1-inch 
pipe  for  the  returns.  Those  are  the 
only  pipe  sizes  for  which  the  boiler  is 
tapped.  The  lean-to  runs  east  and  west, 
having  a  building  on  the  north  side  and 
three  feet  of  glass  in  the  other  three 
sides.  If  I  can  use  the  1-inch  pipe  for 
returns,  how  many  should  go  on  each 
side?  F.  D.  W.— O. 

V.  il      

A  Wilks  hot  water  boiler  with  a  grate 
14x30  inches  is  sufficiently  large  to  heat 
a  greenhouse  several  times  as  large  as 
the  one  described,  especially  if  it  is  not 
to  be  used  until  after  the  middle  of 
February. 

The  method  of  arranging  the  heating 
pipes  will  be  determined  to  some  extent 
by  the  location  of  the  doors  in  the  house. 
While  1-inch  pipe  may  be  used  for  the 
coils  in  a  house  as  small  as  the  one  de- 
scribed, provided  the  lowest  part  of  the 
coils  is  above  the  top  of  the  heater,  1%- 
inch  pipe  would  be  preferable  for  the 
flows  and  returns.  This  can  be  used 
for  the  boiler  described  by  connecting 
the  flows  and  returns  by  means  of  re- 
ducing couplings  or  ells.  Eun  the  flow 
pipe  along  the  rear  wall  of  the  lean-to 
and  run  part  of  the  returns  back  along 
the  rear  wall.  The  others  could  be  car- 
ried along  the  end  of  the  house  and  the 
outside  wall  to  the  heater.  About  300 
linear  feet  of  1-inch  pipe  will  be  re- 
quired for  the  returns.  This  can  be  used 
in  a  coil  of  six  pipes  on  the  back  wall, 
with  the  same  number  of  pipes  in  the 
coil  running  along  the  end  and  the  outer 
wall  of  the  house.  In  case  the  coils  do 
not  run  across  the  end,  there  should  be 
fifteen  lines  of  1-inch  pipe  in  the  coils. 
By  connecting  a  mercury  generator  to 
the  system  it  will  be  possible  to  reduce 
the  number  of  the  returns  about  one- 
third.

SALT  LAKE  CITY,  UTAH. 


The  Market. 

Large  numbers  of  Christmas  orders 
are  coming  in  and  the  largest  Christmas 
business  in  history  is  looked  for.  Heavy- 
snow  and  wind  storms  combined  with 
weather  as  cold  as  12  degrees  below 
zero  make  the  outlook  for  a  good  cut 
anything  but  promising,  but  good 
weather  soon  enough  will  make  a  great 
difference. 

Prices  this  year  are  considerably 
higher  than  last,  the  best  roses  being 
quoted  at  $5  per  dozen  wholesale. 
Hoosier  Beauty  and  Columbia  are  the 
leaders,  the  quotations  on  these  being 
$12  per  hundred  for  short,  $25  for  me- 
dium, $35  for  long  and  $5  per  dozen  for 
select,  other  varieties  will  sell  at  from 
$10  to  $40  per  hundred. 

Carnations  are  scarce  and,  though 
some  growers  are  asking  $12  per  hun- 
dred for  the  best,  the  supply  will  not 
nearly  meet  the  demand.  Sweet  peas 
will  be  scarce  at  $3  and  $4  per  hundred. 
Extra  good  poinsettias  may  be  had  at 
$2  to  $8  per  dozen  wholesale.  Paper 
Whites  may  be  secured  in  small  amounts 
at  8  to  10  cents  each. 

The  pot  plant  business  will  be  espe- 
cially heavy  and  the  stock  is  larger  and 
of  a  better  quality  than  that  of  last 
year. 

Various  Notes. 

J.  Ginsburg,  of  the  American  Floral 
Shop,  has  opened  a  branch  store  in 
Idaho  Falls,  Ida. 

The  Miller  Floral  Co.  has  at  its  green- 
houses 6,000  of  the  l)e8t  cyclamens  ever 
seen  in  the  state.  The  plants  are  espe- 
cially fine  and  the  entire  crop  is  already 
sold  and  will  be  moved  this  week.

DON'T  TURN  YOUR  PROFITS  INTO  LOSS. 

A  lot  of  florists  will  either  have  to  pay  top-notch  prices  for  coal  this  winter— or  do  without  it. 

If  your  houses  are  air-leak-proofed  with  PERMANITE  —  don't  worry;  the  chances  are  your  coal-pile 
will  carry  you  through  the  Winter  because  there  isn't  a  chance  in  the  world  for  the  cold  to  come  in  and  the 
heat  to  get  out. 

But  if  your  houses  are  not  air-leak-proofed  with  PERMANITE— then  it  is  high  time  to  do  it  right  NOW; 
PERMANITE  will  not  enable  you  to  heat  your  houses  without  coal,  but  it  will  certainly  help  you  to  do  so 
with  a  whole  lot  less  coal  than  you  could  otherwise. 

PERMANITE  will  make  and  keep  your  houses  absolutely  air-tight;  it  will  keep  up  the  temperature 
without  continuous  cooling  off  from  the  outside  and  in  this  way  keep  down  your  expenses  to  a  minimum. 

Don't  turn  your  profits  into  loss— use  PERMANITE,  get  maximum  efficiency  at  minimum  expense  and 
save  your  coal-pile  as  well.

The  Market. 

Supply  and  demand  were  just  about 
equal  last  week.  It  has  usually  been 
necessary  to  call  on  the  outside  markets 
to  supply  a  good  part  of  the  stock,  but 
this  was  not  the  case  last  week.  Trade, 
while  it  has  been  fair,  has  not  shown  the 
briskness  of  recent  weeks.  It  is  sur- 
prising to  note  that  we  have  gone 
through  the  fall  and  part  of  the  winter 
without  experiencing  a  glutted  market. 
Once  or  twice  it  seemed  as  if  we  were 
going  to  be  swamped  with  stock,  but  it 
usually  wound  up  with  a  shortage  be- 
fore prices  had  a  chance  to  drop.  It  is 
reported  that  this  market  has  never  ex- 
perienced such  steady  times  and,  from 
present  indications,  even  plants  are  go- 
ing to  be  scarce  for  Christmas,  This 
1  shortage  may  not  prove  so  acute,  be- 
cause the  retail  trade  is  expecting  high 
prices  and  stock  will  readily  be  turned 
to  any  make-up  the  retailer's  art  may 
present.  Already  there  are  considerable 
displays,  ranging  from  tiny  baskets  of 
strawflowers  to  bouquets  of  prepared 
stock  in  colonial  style.  At  least  it  is 
true  that  the  one  who  expects  to  sell 
plants  as  they  are  is  not  going  to  find 
Christmas  trade  especially  profitable, 
because  plants  that  are  readily  salable 
are  not   to  be  had  in  large  quantities. 

Various  Notes, 

The  Quality  Flower  Shop,  incorporat- 
ed some  time  ago,  has  opened  a  shop  on 
Chippawa  street,  near  Main  street. 

It  is  worthy  of  note  that  the  Buffalo 
Courier's  flower  department  is  taking 
up  much  more  space  than  the  beauty  de- 
partment. 

The  outside  decorations  at  S.  A.  An- 
derson's store  are  attracting  a  lot  of 
attention.  Drapes  of  lycopodium  roping 
lead  from  a  window  box  of  Christmas 
greens  at  the  third  story  to  attractive 
wreaths  at  each  side  of  the  store. 

Karl  Butz,  of  Lockport,  N,  Y.,  paid 
his  friends  a  visit  during  the  week.  He 
reports  a  new  baby  girl  at  his  home. 

G.  E.  McCoy,  representing  the  A.  L. 
Randall  Co.,  Chicago,  made  his  rounds 
last  week.  Mr.  McCoy  reports  espe- 
ciallv  heavv  selling  of  ruscus.

The  Florists^  Review 


Decbmbbb  18,  1919. 


There  are  a  number  of  times  when  you  need  a 

FITTING 

for  some  particular  purpose,  but  right  at  that  time  you  do 
not  remember  where  you  can  get  a  Fitting  that  will  meet 
just  this  requirement.  Tomorrow  you  see  another  place 
where  a  Fitting  of  some  kind  should  be  used  and  prevent 
further  depreciation.  And  so  it  goes,  from  day  to  day, 
knowing  that  you  really  need  these  things  but  not  ordering 
because  you  do  not  know  where  you  can  find  Fittings  that 
will  answer  the  purpose.        /     /    ,        /    ,       ;    ;       /     ;        /

Let  Your  Eyes  Tell  You 


You're  an  experienced  greenhouse  man.     You've  seen  good  ones  and  bad 
ones.    You've  learned  by  experience  what  to  look  for  m  a  greenhouse. 

You  know  that  when  a  greenhouse  falls,  it  almost  invariably  falls  endwise. 

Now,  g:et  this — It's  money  to  you — AGMCO  houses  never  fall,  because 
they  can*t.     Look  at  this  illustration  and  let  your  eyes  tell  you  why. 

Here  you  have  scientific  gable  bracing,  and  a  scientilically  constructed  gable  that  has  been  designed  to  stand  every 
bit  of  stress  and  strain  that  will  ever  be  put  upon  it,  plus  a  wide  margin  of  safety. 

Why   not  have  gables  like  this,  with  this  kind  of  bracing,  in  your  next  houses?

WILLIAM  SPANDIKOW 


Weiss-Spandikow    Co. 
Orders   Two    Big    L.  &  B.    Houses 


TT  goes  without  saying  that  we  always  like  to  sell  green- 

■•■   houses. 

There  ai-e,  however,  some  to  whom  we  particularly  like  to 

sell. 

Like  to.   because  of  their  beins  acknowledged  leaders  in 

their  particular  section  of  the  country. 

When  the  Weiss-Spandikovv  Co.  be«an  sending  their  roses 
to  the  Chicago  luiirKet.  they  were  at  once  recogni/ed  as 
top-notchers. 

The  word  promptly  went  out,  to  "Keep  .\our  eye  on  tliat 
man  Wei.s.s,  he  is  a  comer." 
He  i.s  no  longer  a  coiner. 
He  is  an  arrivcr. 

Those  of  you  who  ha\e  seen  that  range  of  four  ridge-and- 
furrow  houses  at  .Maywood  111.,  with  its  splendid  packing 
shed  and  power  plant,  knew  that  more  houses  must  follow. 

Seeing  the  wonderful  stock.  .Mi-,  Spandikow,  the  grower, 
was  producing,  you  also  well  knew  that  he  would  not  be 
content  witii  a  four-house  limit. 

Knowing  some  of  the  big  men  who  are  ilirectors  of  the 
company,  you  likewise  knew  they  worv  money-makers  and 
would  exentually  put  their  mone.v  in  liouses  which  would 
make  the  most  money  for  them. 

Make  it.  not  ;ilone  foi-  a  few  short  M-ars,  but  for  .\cirs 
to  come. 

They  soun  Iji'-mi  to  scr  ihul  it's  not  »h:il  a  house  costs 


to  start  with,   that  counts;  it's  what  it  keeps  on  cost- 
ing that's  the  big  thing. 

They  began  to  realize  that  it's  possible  to  build  green- 
houses that  arc  a  permanent  investment. 

Of  course  they  knew  the.v  would   have  to  pay  more  for 
such  houses. 

But  they  also  convinced  themselves  such  houses  would, 
in  the  end,  pay  them  a  lot  more  for  what  the.v  paid. 

Pay  a  lot  more,  because  less  would  be  paid  in  repairs. 
Just  naturally,  neither  Mr. Weiss  nor  Mr.  Spandikowcame 
to  these  conclusions  in  a  huri-y. 

Furthermore,  when  they  did,  it  was  noti  any  easy  thing 
to  at  first  convince  the  directors. 

That  they  are  convinced  beyond  all  argument  is  evidenced 

in    the    order  placed  with   us  for    two  of   our    big   iron 

framers. 

Two  .separate   houses  each   70  x  I0().   covering    practicall.v 

the  same  uround  as  their  first  four  connected  houses. 

Our  standard  construi'tion  is  to  be  used  throughout. 

Not  a  thing  is  of  an  experimental  nature. 

Every   feature  .of  the   construction    has   been   tried  and 

proven. 

These  two  houses  will  be^completed.'by  May  first, 
Kvery  unue  in  a  while  as  tlie  work  progresses  we  will  show 
photographs  and  tell  you  interesting  facts. 
So  be  on  the  lookout.

Why  Pay  for  a  Truck 
Three  Times? 

1.  The  Purchase  Price. 

/   ^  The  initial  cost  of  an  ordinary  truck  is  but  one  item         /   / 

A   ,  in  the  price  you  pay.    Inferior  quality  must  be  paid    v    ^V 

for  time  and  again  after  the  truck  is  put  into  opera- 
tion. WHITE  quality  costs  money  to  produce,  but 
saves  money  in  the  long  run.  Its  cost  comes  but 
once  in  the  life  of  a  truck. 

2.  The  Operating  and  Maintenance  Expense. 

A  constant  charge  against  the  truck's  earning 
power.  The  poorer  the  truck  the  more  it  costs  for 
fuel,  oil,  renewals  and  repairs.  WHITE  Trucks 
operate  with  the  utmost  economy.  They  are  known 
money  savers. 

3.  The  Cost  of  Idleness. 

The  largest  item  of  all.  Loss  of  earning  power 
for  a  day  makes  a  serious  inroad  on  profits;  a  three- 
day  lay-up  may  easily  equal  a  month's  operating 
cost.  That  is  the  direct  loss.  The  indirect  loss,  due 
to  halted  and  delayed  operations,  may  be  far  more 
serious. 

IN  White  Trucks  the  purchase  price  is  your  total 
investment.  The  operating  item  is  absorbed  in 
high  earning  power.  The  loss  item  is  little  or  nothing. 
White  Trucks  have  the  staymg  power  to  keep  going. 
They  do  the  most  work  for  the  least  money.     •

ALEXANDER'S  DAHLIAS 

For  Florists  and  Seedsmen 

Alexander's  New  Florists'  Dahlias  Lead  the  World 


If  you  are  looking  for  something  good  for  your  florists' 
business,  try  my  new  cut  flower  varieties  offered  below.  I 
highly  recommend  them.  "\^     j 

MAUDE  ADAMS.  (New  Show  Dahlia.)  A  pure  snowy  white, 
very  daintily  overlaid  and  suffused  the  sweetest  shade  of  rose-pink 
imaginable.  It  is  the  best  of  my  introductions  for  florists'  use,  and  a 
variety  I  can  highly  recommend.  "Maude  Adams"  is  the  most  free-flowering 
Dahlia  of  its  color,  being  more  than  twice  as  prolific  as  either  "Nymphaea"  or 
"Sylvia." ,  It  has  good  stems  and  is  an  early  Dahlia  to  blossom,  continuing 
throughout  the  entire  season.  It  has  the  necessary  features  that  make  it  stand 
shipping  well,  and  makes  up  good  in  all  kinds  of  work.  It  has  already  been 
tested  out  in  all  parts  of  the  country,  Raymond  Champe,  of  Minnesota,  finding 
it  his  best  commercial  variety.  I  can  furnish  strong  divisions  at  $330  per 
dozen,  $20.00  per  lOO;  and  clumps  at  $8.00  per  dozen,  $38.00  per  lOO. 

FRANK  A.  WALKER.  (New  Decorative  Dahlia.)  A  charming 
shade  of  lavender- pink,  with  long,  stiff  stems,  making  it  first-class  as 
a  cut  flower  Dahlia.  This  new  variety  won  the  flrst-class  Certificate 
of  Merit  at  the  North  Shore  Horticultural  Society,  at  Manchester,  for  the  best 
seedling  in  the  show.  It  produces  its  flowers  in  great  abundance,  and  is  an  ex- 
ceptionally early  bloomer.  Good  divisions,  $3.80  per  dozen,  828XM>  per  lOO; 
clumps,  $8.00  per  dozen. 


Field  View  of  Dahlia  Maude  Adams. 


TFie  F*lorists'  Best  DstlllidS.  including  the  very  finest  and  best  of  recent  introduction; 
'  varieties  that  are  still  new  and  high  in  price,  but  so  far  su- 
perior to  the  average  florists'  dahlia,  that  they  deserve  a  place  in  every  florist's  garden.

When  inclined  to  he  despondent  about  the  results  of  Quarantine  No. 
37,  we  may  find  encouragement  m  con  templating  the  wonders  that  have  re- 
cently been  performed  by  some  American  hybridizers  in  providing  improved 
varieties  of  stock.    Note,  for  instance,  the  success  of  our  canna  specialists.

HEBE  is  no  need  to  go  back 
over  a  quarter  of  a  cen- 
tury to  call  attention  to 
what  was  embraced  in  this 
class  of  bedding  plants 
before  M.  Crozy  devel- 
oped the  wonderful  dwarf, 
free  -  flowering  type  of 
which  Mme.  Crozy  was 
one  of  the  first  to  be  in- 
troduced. The  old  varieties,  useful  in 
tropical  bedding  only  because  of  their 
luxuriant  foliage,  have  passed  out  of 
commerce.  Many  of  the  varieties  that 
have  sprung  from  the  crossing  of  the 
French  type  with  the  various  older 
forms  give  us  the  same  values  in  foliage 
with  the  addition  of  plenty  of  flowers.

sequently there  are  few  Tpl^^^^ui  the 
country  where  they  do  not  adapt  them- 
selves and  prove  to  be  superior  bedding 
plants.  Their  popularity  has  increased 
with  the  realization  of  this  fact  and 
the  immense  progress  in  the  improve- 
ment of  varieties. 

Our  Debt  to  the  French. 

In  this  field  we  are,  of  course,  par- 
ticularly indebted  to  the  French,  who 
in  the  early  nineties 
first  produced  the  type 
from  which  the  mod- 
ern canna  was  devel- 
oped. Many  excellent 
varieties  have  followed 
the  first  one  of  that 
class  from  France.  The 
later  French  introduc- 
tions, however,  have  not 
possessed  some  of  the 
particular  qualifications 
that  would  entitle  them 
to  a  permanent  place  in 
our  commercial  collec- 
tions. 

Probably  the  most 
remarkable  French  in- 
troduction of  recent 
years  is  the  variety 
Firebird,  which  is  fully 
entitled,  because  of  the 
immense  size  of  its  flo- 
rets, to  all  the  public- 
ity accorded  it.  Un- 
fortunately, it  has 
failed,  however,  to  find 
favor  in  many  locali- 
ties, because  of  impor- 
tant characteristics 
which  it  lacks. 

The  canna  of  today 
must  be  a  vigorous, 
healthy  grower,  a  free 
bloomer  and  a  good 
keeper,     Sfze  of  flower

is  important,  but  really  secondary,  be- 
cause, in  bedding,  an  abundance  of 
smaller  blossoms  will  prove  far  more 
effective  than  a  few  of  unusual  size  or 
even  of  great  beauty. 

The  break  toward  varieties  that  more 
nearly  fill  the  requirements  for  mass 
bedding  was  strongly  noticeable  in  a 
number  of  German  and  Hungarian  in- 
troductions within  the  last  generation. 
In  red,  these  included  J.  D.  Eisele, 
Feuermeer  and  Fanal,  the  last  men- 
tioned still  being  one  of  the  most  de- 
pendable varieties;  in  yellow,  Goethe 
and  Gustav  Gumpper,  both  with  cer- 
tain shortcomings,  but  unusually  effec- 
tive;   in   pink,   Hungaria   and  Lahneck. 

Older  Sorts  That  Still  Lead. 

Hungaria  is  probably  the  most  popu- 
lar pink  canna  at  present.  While  it 
lacks  substance,  there  is  a  refinement  in 
its  wonderful  coloring  that  will  make 
it  difficult  to  supersede.  To  Italy  is 
credited  the  creation  of  King  Humbert, 
unqualifiedly  the  most  popular  canna  of 
todav.     It  is  not  the  sole  survivor  of  its 


Field  of  The  Gem,  wHh  some  Uhlberg  In  Left  Foreground* 


type,  but  many  of  the  earlier  so-called 
orchid-flowered  varieties  are  losing 
ground,  while  King  Humbert  remains 
firmly  entrenched  in  its  position  of  lead- 
ership. 

In  thus  discussing  the  foreign  intro- 
ductions, my  object  is  to  give  credit 
where  it  is  deserved.  What  I  am  about 
to  say  about  American  cannas  would  not 
be  possible  if  our  friends  across  the 
pond  had  not  ' '  started  something. ' ' 

Nor  are  there  any  other  lines  with 
which  I  am  familiar,  except  cannas  and 
dahlias,  where  the  challenge  of  the 
European  hybridizer  has  been  so  suc- 
cessfully accepted  by  American  enthusi- 
asts. The  best  cannas  and  dahlias  for 
our  purposes,  introduced  in  recent 
years,  have  been  of  American  origin. 
In  dahlias  the  work  can  be  credited  to 
a  number  of  capable  hybridizers.  In 
cannas,  however,  the  credit  falls  large- 
ly to  one  individual,  whose  vision  and 
perseverance  have  placed  in  our  hands 
material  which  makes  us  independent  of 
further  European  importations. 

A  Few  of  Wintzer's  Winners. 

Why  Antoine  Wintzer,  of  West  Grove, 
Pa.,  has  accomplished  all  this,  may  not 
have  been  a  matter  of 
great  concern  to  thou- 
sands who  find  pleas- 
ure in  viewing  his 
creations.  Judging 
others  by  myself,  I  be- 
lieve that  Mr.  Wint- 
zer's enthusiasm  was 
first  aroused  by  the  ac- 
cidental discovery  of 
the  possibilities  in  se- 
curing variations  in 
cannas. 

Initial  success  was 
like  the  implanting  of 
a  germ,  which,  once  es- 
tablished, continues  in 
its  development  until 
it  overruns  its  entire 
field.  With  the  first 
success  the  imagination 
was  aroused,  and  the 
ambition  and  deter- 
mination to  master  the 
problems  have  enabled 
him  to  create  a  large 
proportion  of  the  most 
useful  cannas  in  Amer- 
ican   commerce. 

As  proof  of  what 
Mr.  Wintzer  has  ac- 
complished, the  follow- 
ing alphabetical  list 
of  a  few  of  his  most 
notable  introductions  is 
submitted :

Flowers  of  Wiatzet^s  ColossaU  in  Foreground^  are  what  the  Name  Implies. 


City  of  Portland — Altliougli  not  so 
thoroughly  disseminated,  this  wonder- 
ful rosy  pink  is  probably  of  greater 
value  than  Mrs.  Alfred  Conard. 

Flag  of  Truce — In  the  effort  to  create 
the  ideal  white  canna,  Mr.  Wintzer 
evolved  this  excellent  bedding  variety. 
Although  he  has  produced  purer  whites, 
none  of  these  have  seemed  to  possess 
the  freedom  of  growth  and  flowering 
required  to  insure  their  permanence  in 
popular  favor.  Flag  of  Truce  is  a  happy 
grower,  an  early,  free  bloomer,  and  its 
large  florets  are  white  in  effect. 

Gladiator — For  many  years  a  stand- 
ard yellow. 

Golden  Gate — A  unique  orange  yel- 
low, whose  flowers  shade  to  a  delicate 
rose   in  the  sun. 

Jane  Addams — An  early,  free  yellow. 

Lafayette — A  grand  red,  possessing 
in  a  marked  degree  all  the  essentials  of 
a  good  bedder. 

Meteor — One  of  the  best  deep  red 
varieties. 

Mrs.  Alfred  Conard — A  masterpiece, 
being  of  vigorous  growth,  with  a  new, 
unique  shade  of  salmon  pink  and  a 
flower  of  unusual  substance.   . 

Mrs.  Karl  Kelsey — One  of  the  few 
really  good  varieties  of  the  Italian  type. 

Mrs.  Woodrow  Wilson — A  magnifi- 
cent flower  of  excellent,  deep  rose  col- 
oring. 

Olj'mpic — Strong  and  vigorous  in 
growth  and  free-flowering.  The  immense 
blooms  are  a  strong  carmine. 

Panama — Unique  deep  orange,  mot- 
tled yellow. 

Pocahontas  —  Bronze  foliage,  sur- 
mounted by  great  trusses  of  carmine 
rose  flowers. 

Rosea  Gigantea— A  free,  large-flow- 
ering rose  pink. 

Snow  Queen — Practically  a  pure 
white,  with  immense  florets. 

The  President. — Mr.  Wintzer 's  latest 
masterpiece;  a  real  achievement.  When 
Firebird  failed  to  prove  satisfactory, 
he  succeeded  in  crossing  with  a  strain 
that  injected  more  vigor  and  perfect 
health  and  thus  he  produced  a  variety 
with  flowers  as  large  and  bright  as 
those  of  Firebird,  with  ideal  growth  and 
foliage. 


Wintzer 's   Colossal — The    flowers   are 
all  that  the  name   implies.     True,  they 
are   flabby^  but   their   freedom   permits 
the  plant  to  make  a  magnificent  show- 
ing. 

Wyoming  —  Bronze  foliage,  with 
bright  orange  flowers  on  tall,  vigorous 
stalks. 

The  foregoing  are  only  a  few  of  Mr, 
Wintzer 's  excellent  productions,  which 
have  become  popular  through  rieal  merit. 
Some  that  are  omitted  have  not  im- 
pressed me  as  being  superior.  Others 
have  been  superseded  in  the  natural 
course  of  progress,  frequently  by  varie- 
ties of  Mr.  Wintzer 's  own  production. 

Foreign  Varieties  Still  in  Use, 

Among  the  varieties  of  foreign  origin 
that  still  merit  our  attention  may  be 
mentioned  the   following: 

Dr.  E.  Ackerknecht — Has  distinct 
bronze  foliage;  is  of  vigorous  growth 
and  free-flowering;  color  of  flowers  a 
clear  carmine  rose,  of  much  the  same 
shade  as  Proserpine  tulip. 

Fanal — Bushy,  free  grower,  with 
green  foliage  and  erect  heads  of  deep 
red  flowers. 


Goethe^Bright  orange  flowers,  high 
above  green  foliage. 

Hungaria — a  charming  clear,  bright 
rose,  free  and  compact. 

J,  D.  Eisele — Free-flowering,  bright 
red. 

King  Humbert — Too  well  known  to 
require  description. 

Lahneck — Much  the  color  of  Hun- 
garia, but  a  taller  grower  and  with  a 
broader  margin  of  cream  upon  the 
petals. 

Louis  Eeverchon — Foliage  a  bronzy 
green;  flowers  good  size,  orange  red 
and  freely  produced  well  above  the 
foliage. 

Uhlberg — A  free  bloomer,  rosy  red 
with  yellow  border. 

Varouna — A  wonderfully  deep  or- 
ange, on  bronze  foliage. 

By  observing  the  foregoing  lists  it 
will  quickly  become  apparent  that  Mr. 
Wintzer 's  creations  alone  easily  sur- 
pass all  European  introductions,  with 
the  one  outstanding  exception  of  King 
Humbert. 

But  the  subjoined  list  of  American 
creations  from  other  sources,  embrac- 
ing some  of  the  most  valuable  acquisi- 
tions as  bedding  plants,  completely  con- 
firms the  contention  that  we  in  America 
have  developed  the  canna  to  a  far 
greater  degree  of  usefulness  than  our 
respected  foreign  competitors. 

Other  American  Cannas. 

A  few  of  the  really  excellent  sorts 
are  selected  for  emphasis: 

Carmine  Beauty — A  deep  carmine, 
producing  great  branching  trusses  over 
vigorous,  dark  green  foliage. 

Cheerfulness  —  A  mass  of  bright 
orange  gold  flowers. 

Dazzler — 'An  orange  scarlet  of  most 
vigorous  habit  and  wonderfully  daz- 
zling color. 

Eureka — A  white  variety  that  pos- 
sesses the  vigor  and  strength  of  the 
best  of  any  color.  The  best  commercial 
white  to  date. 

Fairy  -Queen — A  dainty  dwarf  pink 
and  gold  variety,  which  is  a  mass  of 
bloom  throughout  the  season. 

Favorite  —  The  yellowest  yellow. 
Though  it  is  marked  with  small  carmine 
dots,  the  effect  is  yellow  and  more  pene- 
trating than  any  other  of  this  color. 

Golden  Eagle — A  refined,  clear  yel- 
low of  great  promise. 

Harmony — A     dwarf,     free,     round- 


Rosea  Gigantea  is  the  Flower's  Description  in  Latin.

trussed   carmine    red,    on    clean   bronze 
foliage. 

Orange  Bedder — Remarkably  bright 
•orange,  of  vigorous  habit. 

Poppy — Green  bronze  foliage,  sur- 
mounted by  great  trusses  of  bright  red 
flowers,  showing  an  orange  cast. 

Remarkable — A  tall  grower,  throwing 
stalks  of  deep  red  flowers  six  to  eight 
feet  high,  over  excellent  bronze  foliage. 

The  Gem — Wonderfully  free  cream- 
•colored  flowers,  dotted  carmine,  are  pro- 
duced in  great  branching  clusters  over 
the  bright  green  foliage. 

Yellow  King  Humbert — A  true  sport 
of  the  popular  bronze-leaved  variety. 
Produces  great  trusses  of  yellow  flow- 
ers dotted  with  orange  over  bright 
green  foliage.  Its  only  fault  is  its 
tendency  to  revert  to  the  type. 

In  writing  this  article  I  have  as- 
sumed that  the  information  most  de- 
aired  was  regarding  the  selection  of  va- 
rieties. Practically  every  reader  should 
be  familiar  with  the  care  and  culture 
of  cannas.  I  might  add  that  we  find 
many  customers  who  still  call  for  such 
old  varieties  as  Florence  Vaughan,  Paul 
Marquant,  Venus  and  Philadelphia,  all 
of  which  and  dozens  more  have  been 
superseded,  as  before  indicated,  by  su- 
perior varieties  of  American  origin. 


PLANTS    FOIL    OABPET   BED. 

We  wish  to  plant  the  word  "Spar- 
tana"  in  a  carpet  bed  6x25  feet.  We 
have  been  advised  that  the  altcrnan- 
thera  is  the  best  plant  for  this  purpose. 
Kindly  tell  us  how  many  plants  will 
actually  be  required,  how  many  should 
be  prepared  as  a  margin  of  safety  and 
whether  there  is  any  better  plant  to  use 
than  the  alternanthera. 

M.  P.  &  C.  C— O. 


If  the  eight  letters  of  "Spartana" 
are  made  six  feet  long  and  are  prop- 
erly spaced,  they  will  require  1,250 
plants,  provided  they  are  set  out  three 
inches  apart  each  way,  in  order  to  give 
a  good  immediate  effect.  The  interme- 
diate spaces  will  call  fqr  1,150  additional 
plants.  If  you  prefer  to  make  letters 
only  four  feet  long  and  of  proportion- 
ate width,  it  would  call  for  900  plants 
for  the  letters  and  1,500  as  fillers.  If 
you  want  to  get  along  with  fewer 
plants  and  space  four  inches  apart  each 
way,  the  total  number  of  plants  can  be 
reduced   to   1,350.     I  should,   however, 


prefer  the  closer  planting,  as  it  would 
give  a  good  immediate  effect.  It  would 
be  better  to  plant  on  the  level  or  raise 
the  letters  only  a  few  inches.  If  you 
decide  to  raise  them,  allow  a  few  more 
plants  for  the  purpose. 

Alternantheras  would  be  decidedly 
the  most  satisfactory  plants  to  use  for 
the  bed.  Brilliantissima  or  parony- 
chioides  major,  red,  could  be  used  for 
the  letters,  and  aurea  nana,  yellow,  for 
the  intermediate  spaces  or  the  colors  can 
he  reversed  if  desired.  C.  W. 


FRENCH    HYDRANGEAS. 

I  have  received  a  shipment  of  5-inch 
French  hydrangeas  in  bud  and  bloom. 
From  some  of  them  the  old  blooms  were 
cut  off.  I  supposed  these  were  ripened 
plants  ready  for  blooming  next  spring. 
Will  these  plants  bloom  again  on  the 
same  stems  or  branches  next  spring?  I 
wanted  them  for  Easter  and  Mothers' 
day.  I  have  always  thought  hydran- 
geas had  to  be  cut  back  after  blooming 
and  the  new  growth  grown  and  ripened 
all  summer  before  blooming  again. 

A.  D.  S.— N.  D. 


not  break  and  flower  next  season,  but 
the  unflowered  shoots,  if  there  are 
enough  of  them,  should  make  you  sal- 
able plants.  These  hydrangeas  have  a 
knack  of  flowering  heavily  in  late  sum- 
mer and  all  flowers  should  be  cut  out 
as  fast  as  they  show.  It  would  be  un- 
fair for  any  firm  to  ship  you  plants  at 
this  season  containing  little  but  flower- 
ing shoots,  as  they  would  produce  little 
next  spring.  Pot  your  plants,  remove 
all  flowers,  protect  them  from  frost,  give 
them  plenty  of  sun  and  run  the  plants 
more  on  the  dry  side  as  the  weather 
becomes  colder.  Keep  the  plants  in  a 
cold  greenhouse  or  light  cellar,  from 
which  frost  is  excluded,  until  time  to 
start  for  Easter.  C.  W. 


It  is  too  early  to  expect  the  wood  to 
be  ripened  on  the  French  hydrangeas.

MOBE  HOOSIER  CY0I.ONE. 


Insurance  Tangle  Clearing. 

The  latest  installment  in  the  tangled 
story  of  the  affairs  of  the  American  Mu- 
tual Cyclone  &  Hail  Insurance  Co.,  of 
Muncie,  Ind.,  is  given  in  the  largely 
self-explanatory  letter  just  received 
from  Dillon  Myers,  president  of  the 
company.  The  letter  comes  in  response 
to  the  article  entitled  "Who's  in  the 
Hoosier?"  in  The  Review  November  27 
and  is  as  follows: 

"When  the  present  management  took 
over  the  company,  we  understood  that 
the  policies  of  members  outside  the  state 
had  been  canceled  and  did  not  know 
anything  different  until  the  article  ap- 
peared in  The  Review  about  them.  We 
then  held  a  meeting  of  the  board  of 
directors,  and  the  secretary  and  I  went 
to  Indianapolis  and  engaged  an  attor- 
ney to  investigate  the  whole  thing.  His 
report  covers  several  typewritten  pages. 
He  decided  that  these  contracts  with 
persons  outside  the  state  were  'ultra 
vires'  contracts;  that  is,  they  were  be- 
yond the  power  of  the  company  to  make, 
because  they  were  outside  the  state,  and 
the  law  under  which  the  charter  was 
granted  clearly  states  that  the  property 
to  be  insured  must  be  within  the  state 
of  Indiana.  Therefore,  these  contracts 
could  not  be  legally  made  without  vio- 
lating the  charter  conditions.  But  the 
attorney  decided  also  that,  as  these  con- 
tracts were  entered  into  in  good  faith 
by  both  parties,  they  were  legal  con- 
tracts as  long  as  the  insured  met  any 
assessments  that  were  levied. 

* '  Now,  we  were  willing  to  carry  these 
policies  until  they  expired,  but  the  state 
auditor  of  Indiana  said  that  we  could 
not  and  should  not  levy  any  assessments 
on  them  and  even  instructed  the  state's 
attorney  at  Muncie  to  investigate  pre- 
paratory to  instituting  proceedings 
against  the  company  if  we  tried  to  col- 
lect assessments.  So  that  you  see  our 
hands  were  tied  fast. 

"Then  we  were  granted  permission  by 
the  state  auditor  to  send  out  the  letter 
which  was  published  in  The  Review  No- 
vember 27.  Over  half  of  the  outside 
policy-holders  signed  the  releases  and 
returned  them  to  us. 

Contracts  Bind  Insured. 

"Now,  the  attorney  further  states 
that  these  contracts  are  just  as  binding 
on  the  insured  as  on  the  company  and 
that  these  assessments  could  be  levied 
and  collected  by  a  receiver  if  one  should 
be  appointed  to  wind  up  the  affairs  of 
the  company.  In  order  to  get  around  this 
and  to  straighten  things  out,  we  asked 
the  members  outside  the  state  to  sign 
the  release,  as  it  would  be  cheaper  for 
them  to  do  so  than  to  be  liable  for  an  as- 
sessment if  it  should  come  to  that.  Some 
do  not  understand  tliat  those  a-ssess- 
ments  are  only  levied  to  meet  the  losses 
that  have  already  occurred,  that  they 
are  a  legal  debt  and  that  no  member  can 
drop  out  until  he  has  paid  all  assess- 
ments levied  against  him.  Consequently, 
that  Michigan  member  who  spoke  about 
the  $70  assessment  only  paid  what  was 


his  share  of  the  losses  up  to  that  time 
and  nothing  in  advance.  He  would  be 
liable  to  another  assessment,  should  a 
receiver  have  to  be  appointed  to 
straighten  things  out.  I  am  certainly 
sorry  that  we  cannot  carry  those  mem- 
bers, but,  as  you  see,  our  charter  rights 
will  not  allow  that.  In  order  to  get 
that  right,  we  should  have  to  reorganize, 
deposit  $10,000  with  the  state  and  rein- 
corporate. This  we  cannot  do  at  pres- 
ent and  therefore  we  ask  these  outside 
members  to  help  us  out  of  a  tangle  that 
we  did  not  get  into  ourselves,  by  re- 
turning these  releases  and  thereby  giv- 
ing the  greenhouse  owners  of  Indiana  a 
chance  to  continue  their  insurance. 

' '  In  conclusion,  I  will  say  that  the 
board  of  directors  is  now  working  out  a 
plan  to  change  the  insurance  from  a  dol- 
lar rate  to  a  square  foot  insurance  and 
that    when    these    outside   members   are 


USINGER'S  UTTERANCES.

GOVEBNMENT-GROWN    BULBS. 


Supplied  Congressional  Needs. 

Regarding  the  experiments  in  bulb 
culture,  the  report  of  the  Bureau  of 
Plant  Industry  of  the  Department  of 
Agriculture  for  the  year  ending  June 
30,  1919,  said: 

"During  the  year  one-half  of  our  bulb 
stocks  have  been  removed  to  the  new 
bulb  farm  at  Bellingham,  Wash.  Ow- 
ing to  a  shortage  of  labor,  the  other  half 
was  left  undug  on  rented  ground.  The 
total  excess  production  for  the  year  was 
about  350,000  bulbs,  or  one  minimum 
carload,  which  supplied  the  entire  quota 
of  the  congressional  distribution.  These 
stocks  proved  to  be  fully  up  to  the 
standard.  The  narcissi  were  especially 
commented  upon  as  of  superior  quality. 
Of  the  minor  lists  of  stocks  not  before 
handled,  the  Dutch  irises,  branching 
tulips,  our  native  camassias  and  some 
of  the  newer  narcissi  have  done  espe- 
cially well.  The  propagation  of  the  lily 
is  promisinc  Manv  snecies  grow  read- 
ilv  in  this  region  by  simply  drilling  the 
seed  in  open  ground  in  autumn.  Even 
such  a  speciQ.s  as  Lilium  washington- 
ianum  is  now  promising  under  prac- 
tically open-ground  conditions,  most  of 
tlie  plants  not  appearing  above  ground, 
however,  until  the  second  spring. 

How  Bulbs  Increase. 

' '  The  preservation  of  bulbs  taken  out 
of  beds  after  flowering  has  proved  to  be 
thoroughly  practicable  this  season.  Some 
20,000  or  more  tulips  and  narcissi  from 
the  department  grounds  will  give  eighty 
per  cent  of  flowering  bulbs,  besides  an 
average  increase  of  160  per  cent  of  small 
bulbs,  which  are  just  as  good  planting 
stock  as  can  be  secured  anywhere.  One 
year  will  bring  the  eighty  per  cent  of 
flowering  stock  to  first-class  condition 
and  half  of  the  small  stock  to  flowering 


size.  This  class  of  conservation  is  to 
be  encouraged  and  no  doubt  will  be 
practical  now  that  bulbous  stocks  have 
doubled  in  price. 

"It  has  been  demonstrated  that  the 
beautiful  Palestine  irises  can  be  grown 
satisfactorily  in  the  Sacramento  valley 
and  probably  in  the  other  interior  val- 
leys of  California.  Our  experiments 
show  that  a  reproduction  of  three  and 
one-half  fold  may  be  expected  the  first 
two  years  after  importation;  also,  what 
is  known  as  the  Juno  group  succeeds 
well  here.  In  general,  these  groups,  al- 
though in  some  respects  the  most  at- 
tractive of  the  great  iris  family,  have 
not  been  considered  successful  in  this 
country   up  to   this   time." 

Easter  Lilies. 

The  investigations  of  Easter  lilies 
conducted  at  Arlington  Farm,  near 
Washington,  have  revealed  a  number  of 
things  of  importance: 

(1)  Our  spedliiiK  stocks  aftpp  two  years  give 
a  reproduction  of  biilblets  which  Is  ample  for 
all  purposes  of  propagation.  This  means  that 
once  a  seedling  strain  has  been  developed  a 
stock  can  be  worked  up  rapidly  by  vefretative 
methods  and  tliese  same  metliods  will  serve  to 
<-<>ntinue   the   Increase. 

(2)  Stem  bulblets,  which  form  in  the  axils  of 
the  leaves  near  the  surface  of  the  ground,  are 
six  to  twelve  in  number  under  ordinary  condi- 
tions.* and  several  of  them  will  give  one,  two  or 
three  flowers  the  first  year  and  grow  to  good 
flowering  size  with  one  year's  cultivation. 

(3)  An  increased  bulblet  propagation  can  he 
secured  by  plunging  the  pots,  by  hilling  up 
around  the  plants,   or  by   layeripg   the  stems. 

(4)  Seed  dined  for  two  or  three  months  ger- 
minates in  a  shorter  time  than  that  which  is 
sown   immediately   upon   its   maturity. 

(H)  Home-grown  bulbs  three  to  six  and  one- 
half  inches  in  circumference  average  three  to 
five  flowers  to  the  stem  when   forced   for  Easter. 

(6)  A  few  flowers  are  secured  in  one  year  from 
seed. 

(7)  Seed  sown  in  .Tuly,  when  carried  on  in 
pots,  will  produce  bulbs  which  can  be  forced 
for   the  second   Easter  following. 

(8)  These  facts  enable  growers  to  produce  their 
own  Easter  lily  bulbs  from  seed  in  one  year's 
time,  the  seedlings  being  carried  in  pots.  After 
flowering,  the  bulbs  not  disposed  of  can  be  car- 
ried outdoors  south  of  Philadelphia  and  will  be 
ready  to  force  again  after  one  year's  recuper- 
ation. 

(9)  Stocks  thus  produced  are  free  from  disease.

|HESE  sug^gestions  on  the 
combating  of  snapdragon 
rust  will  serve  as  a  supple- 
ment or  sequel  to  a  report 
written  by  Charles  C.  Eees, 
of  the  agricultural  experi- 
ment station  at  Urbana,  111., 
and  printed  on  page  35  of  The  Review 
of  December  11,  with  illustrations 
showing  the  ravages  of  the  disease.  It 
is  unnecessary  here  to  describe  the  dis- 
ease or  to  give  an  account  of  its  origin 
and  distribution,  as  that  part  of  the 
subject  was  fully  treated  by  Mr.  Reea. 
The  present  article  consists  chiefly  of 
excerpts  from  a  bulletin  prepared  by 
George  L.  Peltier,  who  is  also  connected 
with  the  Urbana  institution. 

Some  of  Mr.  Peltier's  statements, 
based  on  the  results  of  experiments, 
will  be  noted  with  special  interest.  He 
reaches  the  conclusion  that 
the  ordinary  fungicides  are 
of  no  avail  in  the  treatment 
of  snapdragon  rust,  and 
that  two  of  the  best 
methods  of  resisting  the 
disease  are  to  avoid  syring- 
ing and  to  use  stock  grown 
from  seed  in  preference  to 
that  grown  from  cuttings. 
His  testimony  in  favor  of 
seedlings  is  strong  and  ex- 
plicit, with  the  one  reserva- 
tion that  the  plants  may 
not  come  true  from  seed, 
since  "few  strains  are 
fixed." 


percentage  of  leaf  infection  was  lower 
than  in  any  of  the  sprayed  sections  ex- 
cept one.  In  other  words,  this  treat- 
ment was  just  as  effective  in  the  con- 
trol of  rust  as  were  Bordeaux  and  am- 
moniacal  copper  carbonate  when  ap- 
plied every  week.  In  house  No.  2  prac- 
tically the  same  results  were  obtained, 
except  that  the  infection  was  not  so 
great  or  so  uniform,  because  natural 
infection  only  was  used.

Important  Inferences.

■'./ 


From  the  results  of  these  experi- 
ments, then,  it  may  be  concluded  that 
the  fungicides  used  will  neither  pre- 
vent, check  nor  control  snapdragon  rust 
in  the  greenhouse;  it  can  be  further 
concluded  that  by  watering  the  soil 
only,  in  the  bench,  and  avoiding  all 
syringing,   the    disease   can   be   held   in 


Failure  of  Fungicides. 


POINTS  IN  PREVENTION. 

The  use  of  Bordeaux  or  ammoniacal  copper  carbonate 
can  neither  prevent,  check  nor  control  snapdragon  rust 
in  the  field  or  in  the  greenhouse. 


Mr.  Peltier  relates  how  a 
north  bench  in  each  of  two 
houses  was  planted  with 
stock  of  several  leading 
varieties  of  snapdragon, 
for  purposes  of  experimen- 
tation. The  principal  dif- 
ference in  the  treatment  in 
the  two  houses  was  that  in 
house  No.  1  the  plants 
"were  inoculated,  or  arti- 
ficially infected  with  rust 
spores  for  two  or  three 
days  after  each  spraying," 
while  in  house  No.  2  "nat- 
ural infection  was  depended  on,  that 
house  having  been  used  the  previous 
season  in  the  rust  work."  Each  of  the 
two  benches  was  divided  into  ten  sec- 
tions, separated  by  double  cheesecloth 
curtains,  and  the  sections  were  sub- 
jected to  various  forms  of  experiment. 
Some  of  the  sections  were  sprayed 
periodically  with  Bordeaux  mixture; 
some  were  sprayed  with  the  Bordeaux 
and  also  with  ammoniacal  copper  car- 
bonate. In  two  sections  of  each  bench, 
used  as  "checks,"  no  fungicide  was 
applied,  but  overhead  watering  was 
used  in  one  of  these  sections,  while  in 
the  other  the  soil  alone  was  watered. 

The  results  in  house  No.  1,  says  Mr. 
Peltier,  show  that  all  the  spraying 
treatments  were  ineffective  in  the  con- 
trol of  the  rust.  The  largest  amount 
of  infection  naturally  occurred  in  those 
sections  in  which  the  plants  were 
watered  from  overhead.  Where  only  the 
soil    in    the    sections    was    watered    the 


The  use  of  snapdragon  cuttings  or  seedlings  where 
rust  is  present  may  mean  a  complete  failure  of  the  crop. 

Syringing  is  an  important  factor  in  the  prevalence 
of  the  rust  in  the  greenhouse.  It  is  a  means  of  dis^ 
semination  of  the  spores,  and  it  produces  cq^ditions 
favorable  for  the  germination  of  the  spores  and  the 
rapid  infection  of  the  plants. 


which  are  the  first  indication  of  the 
disease,  do  not  become  evident  until 
some  time  after  infection  has  taken 
place.  Cuttings  from  such  plants,  carry- 
ing the  disease  in  the  incipient  stage, 
may  thus  become  centers  of  infection 
for  an  entire  bench  of  cuttings. 

Two  important  conditions  favorable 
to  the  development  and  dissemination 
of  the  rust  in  a  bench  of  cuttings  are 
shade  and  syringing.  For  a  week  or 
ten  days  after  the  cuttings  are  placed 
in  the  sand  the  usual, procedure  is  to 
syringe  the  cuttings  frequently  and 
keep  them  under  shade  in  bright 
weather.  Such  conditions  are  most  fa- 
vorable for  the  germination  of  the  rust 
spores  in  that  the  necessary  degree  of 
moisture  is  maintained.  The  fungus 
will  mature  rapidly,  new  spores  will  be 
produced,  and  soon  the  entire  lot  of 
cuttings  will  show  infec- 
tion. 

Syringing  is  practiced 
also  for  the  control  of  small 
insects,  such  as  the  red 
spider.  When  syringing  is 
practiced  in  an  infected 
house,  the  development  and 
spread  of  the  rust  are  rapid. 
Syringing,  then,  not  only 
favors  the  development  of 
the  rust,  but  it  actually 
carries  q^nd  spreads  the 
spores  to  other  plants. 
Where  no  syringing  is  done, 
the  rust  spores  are  less 
likely  to  germinate,  and 
consequently  less  infection 
results. 


Watering  the  plants  from  below  only,  so  as  to  avoid 
wetting  the  foliage,  is  a  means  of  checking  the  rust. 

Snapdragon  rust  is  not  carried  on  the  seeds.  The 
disease  can  therefore  be  avoided,  or  eliminated  in  time, 
by  the  propagation  of  plants  from  seed. 


Habit  of  Plant. 


check  better  than  by  the  use  of  fungi- 
cides. 

Cuttings  arc  extremely  susceptible  to 
rust,  both  in  the  cutting  bench  and 
after  they  are  potted.  Mr.  Peltier 
states  that  he  has  seen  1^,000  cuttings 
infected  with  rust  and  killed  in  three 
weeks'  time.  He  has  also  seen  a  large 
number  of  young  plants  lost  just  after 
being  potted.  Great  care,  therefore, 
must  be  exercised,  he  says,  to  prevent 
infection  of  cuttings.  Such  infection 
may  be  initiated  in  the  cutting  bench 
either  by  the  introduction  of  spores  or 
by  the  use  of  cuttings  made  from  in- 
fected plants.  A  single  diseased  cut- 
ting may  mean  the  loss  of  nearly  all 
the  cuttings  later.  It  is  extremely  diffi- 
cult to  select  cuttings  free  from  the 
disease  in  a  house  or  field  where  the 
rust  has  been  prevalent.  Certain 
plants  may  appear  to  be  free  from  rust, 
Ijut  cuttings  from  these  plants  may 
lead  to  disappointment,  for  the  pustules. 


The  form  of  tlie  plant  is 
an  important  factor  in  the 
(lestructiveness  of  the  rust. 
The  ideal  plant  should  fork 
low  and  not  have  more  than 
five  or  six  stems.  Such  a 
plant  is  less  liable  to  de- 
struction by  the  rust  than 
a  bushy  plant  with  dense 
foliage.  This,  of  course,  is 
true  where  syringing  is 
practiced.  The  reason  is 
obvious;  the  plant  with  few 
stems  growing  out  from  the  center  will 
dry  off  quickly  after  syringing,  while 
several  days  may  be  necessary  for  the 
center  of  a  bushy  plant  to  dry  out.  As 
the  rust  spores  require  from  twenty-four 
to  forty-eight  hours  for  germination, 
the  evaporation  of  the  water  during 
the  day  will  kill  the  germinating  spores 
and  so  prevent  infection.  Where  the 
water  does  not  evaporate  for  several 
days,  rust  will  invariably  develop.  The 
habit  of  the  plant,  then,  is  of  some  im- 
portance in  checking  the  spread  of  rust 
in  the  greenhouse. 

An  attempt  to  control  the  rust  by 
pinching  off  and  destroying  the  in- 
fected leaves  was  practically  a  total 
failure,  although  partial  success  was 
obtained  during  the  winter  months, 
when  the  development  and  spread  of 
rust  was  slow. 

Experiments  were  also  conducted  in 
an  effort  to  determine  whether  rust  can 
be  carried  on  the  seed.    Seed  represent-

ing  thirty-six  commercial  varieties  was 
obtained  from  various  sources.  From 
this  seed  about  1,800  plants  were 
grown  to  maturity  without  a  single 
pustule  of  rust  developing.  Again,  seed 
gathered  from  badly  infected  plants  in 
the  field  and  in  the  greenhouse,  sown 
and  grown  in  the  usual  manner,  de- 
veloped no  rust  whatsoever,  even 
though  seed  was  taken  from  pods  on 
which  rust  pustules  were  present. 

It  can  be  safely  stated  that  rust  is 
not  carried  6n  seed  nor  propagated  by 
seed.  Although  seeds  of  the  snap- 
dragon do  not  carry  the  rust  from 
season  to  season,  and  seedlings  are  not 
easily  susceptible  to  infection,  propa- 
gation by  seeds  has  a  disadvantage  in 
,  the  fact  that  few  strains  are  fixed,  and 

/  selection  must  be  practiced  in  order  to 

'  have   desirable    strains.      However,   the 

4  use   of  seedlings   makes   it   possible    to 

;  ^-  eliminate  the  rust.  If  in  a  rust-in- 
fected house  or  field  all  infected  plants 
are  burned,  and  after  a  lapse  of  a  year 
or  two  a  new  beginning  with  seedlings 
is  made,  clean,  healthy  plants  will  re- 
sult. From  such  plants  good  strains  can 
then  be  developed  by  means  of  careful 
selection. 

Outdoor  Snapdragons. 

JiJxperiments  with  snapdragons  in  the 
field  led  to  the  same  conclusion,  with 
reference  to  the  ineffectiveness  of  fungi- 
cides, as  in  the  indoor  tests.  In  the 
majority  of  cases  rust  is  propagated 
from  season  to  season  in  the  green- 
house and  is  carried  from  there  to  the 
field.  During  rainy,  cloudy  seasons  in 
the  field,  rust  will  completely  kill  the 
plants  just  before  blooming  time  and  by 
fall  the  whole  planting  will  be  dead. 
It  is  important,  then,  to  use  only  clean 
plants  in  the  field;  this  means  that  the 
grower  must  eliminate  entirely  the  rust 
from  the  greenhouse  before  he  can  be 
sure  that  he  is  using  clean  stock  in  the 
field. 

A  few  florists  grow  snapdragons 
throughout  the  year,  but  the  majority 
prefer  to  plant  in  August  for  an  early 
winter  crop  or  else  reserve  them  to 
follow  the  early  or  midseason  chrysan- 
themums. Plants  are  used  from  both 
seeds  and  cuttings.  If  plants  are  rusted 
when  benched,  they  rarely  reach  ma- 
turity or  produce  salable  spikes.  When 
clean  plants  are   benched,   little   or   no 


rust  develops  until  in  the  early  spring, 
when  it  spreads  rapidly.  Temperature 
is  of  importance  in  the  development  of 
rust;  it  has  been  observed  that  the 
spread  of  rust  is  checked  in  the  house 
by  a  uniformly  low  temperature.  High 
temperatures  are  favorable  to  the  rapid 
spread  of  the  fungus.

Stenson  &  McGrail,  Uniontown,  Pa.,

that  the  people  preferred  them  to  cut 


flowers,  as  the  cut  flowers  were  hot  sat-

Mr.  Thompson,  manager  at  the  green- 
houses of  W.  E,  Barton,  Uniontown, 
Pa.,  says  that  the  pot  plants  helped  out 
well  for  Christmas,  as  the  weather  had 
been  too  cloudy  to  bring  the  roses  and 
carnations  into  bloom. 

Jas.  E.  Schell,  Connellsville,  Pa.,  has 
a  fine  lot  of  Boston  ferns  in  5-inch  and 
6-inch  pots  and  finds  a  ready  sale  for 
them.  He  is  still  cutting  mums  and 
finds  that  the  really  late  ones  pay  well, 
since  the  cloudy  weather  is  holding  back 
the   carnations. 

Warrick  Bros.,  Washington,  Pa.,  were 
well  prepared  for  the  Christmas  trade 
with  a  good  line  of  pot  plants  and  a 
fair  cut  of  carnations. 

Mr.  GriflSth,  of  Crall's  Greenhouse, 
Monongahela,  Pa.,  says  that  since  the 
government  has  reduced  the  express

no  improvement  soon  they  will  change 
their  line  to  pot  plants  and  ferns,  of

Joseph  Haube,  Charleroi,  Pa.,  finds 
that  the  coal  and  steel  strikes  have

Western  Pennsylvania  growers  com- 
plain of  having  more  than  their  share

There  are  now  so  many  fine  strains  of

to  suit  the  purpose  of  bedding  out  that 
I  am  somewhat  out  of  touch  with  the 
named  varieties.  I  used  to  have  several 
similar  in  color  to  the  flower  sent,  so 
that  it  is  almost  impossible  to  give  its 
proper  name,  but  it  closely  resembles  a 
variety  known  as  Beauty  of  Oxford.

taken  from  these  plants  would  be  trou- 
bled the  following  year;  probably  not. 
Neither  do  I  know  whether  the  cyanide 
would  destroy  the  galls  on  the  roots,  al- 
lowing the  plants  to  resume  a  normal 
growth.  Your  entomologist  will  prob- 
ably become  interested  enough  to  work 
^out  these  various  phases.  Unless  you 
treat  your  soil  in  the  field  or  change  to  a 
field  that  is  not  infected,  you  will  have 
a  recurrence  of  this  trouble  each  season.

CABNATION  PLANTS  ABE  DYINO. 

Under  separate  cover  we  are  mailing 
you  a  sample  of  soil  and  one  dead  car- 
nation, over  which  we  shall  thank  yoU' 
to  hold  an  autopsy.  "We  thought  the 
trouble  was  stem-rot,  but  you  will  note 
that  the  stem  is  sound,  while  the  roots 
are  rotten.  The  plants  were  fine  and 
were  benched  last  month.  There  has 
been  a  great  deal  of  rain  and  cloudy 
weather.  The  soil  consists  of  bottom 
land,  leaf-mold  and  manure  and  was 
used  last  season,  but  was  dumped  out 
and  exposed  to  the  weather  all  summer. 
The  soil  was  limed  a  few  days  ago. 
Some  of  the  buds  are  eaten  out,  but  we 
have  been  unable  to  find  any  worms. 
"We  shall  greatly  appreciate  your  opinion 
and  advice.  Y.  F.  C. — Tex. 


Your  statement  that  the  soil  was  used 
last  year  probably  answers  your  query 
as  to  the  cause  of  your  troubles.  "When 
soil  is  used  a*  second  season,  carnations 
do  not  take  hold  of  it  as  readily  as  if  it 
were  new  soil  and  there  is  more  danger 
of  root-rotting  unless  extreme  care  is 
exercised  during  the  period  of  reestab- 
lishment.  Adding  manure,  lime,  etc., 
has  never  been  known  to  make  new  soil 
out  of  old  and  a  few  months'  exposure 
to  the  weather  is  not  sufficient.  It  is 
too  late,  now,  to  make  a.  new  start  and 
you  will  just  have  to  make  the  best  of  a 
bad  beginning.  "Water  carefully,  but  not 
stintingly.  Give  all  the  ventilation  that 
weather  conditions  will  permit  and  keep 
the  temperature  as  near  50  degrees  as 
possible.  The  buds  are  probably  eaten 
by  one  of  the  common  cutworms.  These 
are  sometimes  difficult  to  detect,  as  they 
feed  mostly  at  night.  A  poison  mash 
made  of  bran,  molasses  and  Paris  green 
will  get  them.  A.  F.  J.  B. 


EOOT-OALL  ON  CAENATIONS. 

I  am  sendieg^you  under  separate  cover 
a  carnation/plalJt  which  has  some  kind 
of  knots  on  it.  I  would  be  pleased  if 
you  will  give  me  any  information  as 
to  what  is  the  matter  with  the  plant. 

In  digging  my  carnations  out  of  the 
field  last  year  1  found  about  500  out  of 
over  10,000  plants  were  thus  infected. 
These  were  burned.  I  would  like  to 
know  how  to  get  rid  of  the  trouble.  The 
first  time  I  sa\v  it  was  two  years  ago, 
on  some  Begonia  Erfordii;  I  destroyed 
them  on  seeing  it.  My  soil  is  good  black 
sandy  material.  "Will  the  plants  be  af- 
fected if  planted  in  the  same  field  as 
last  year?  I  have  rye  on  the  ground 
now.  My  plants  are  not  much  aJffected 
now  and  I  do  not  want  them  to  be. 

"W\  E.  P.— Okla. 


The  root  galls  on  your  carnations  are 
probably  similar  to,  if  not  identical  with 
those  which  at  one  time  caused  great 
loss  to  rose  growers.  We  have  come 
across  a  limited  number  of  cases  of  this 
trouble  in  the  last  few  years,  mostly  in 
the  southern  states.     I  know  of  no  rem- 


edy for  it.  Several  theories  were  ad- 
vanced by  rose  experts  at  the  time  it 
was  causing  them  trouble,  but  it  was 
not  eliminated  until  about  the  time 
grafting  on  Manetti  was  adopted  by  the 
growers  of  forcing  roses.  "Whether  they 
have  any  connection,  I  am  not  sure.  The 
United  States  Department  of  Agricul- 
ture has  been  using  cyanide  for  destroy- 
ing insect  life  in  the  soil  with  good  re- 
sults and  if  these  root  galls  are  caused 
by  eelworms,  as  in  the  case  of  roses, 
cyanide  may  be  the  means  of  ridding 
your  soil  of  them.  Inquire  of  your  state 
entomologist,  who  will  be  able  to  get 
the  necessary  data  from  "Washington  and 
who  will  inform  you  how  to  apply  cyan- 
ide properly.  Cyanide  ^s  dissolved  in 
water  in  certain  proportions  and  the  soil 
is  thoroughly  saturated  with  it.  It  is 
supposed  to  destroy  all  insect  or  animal 
life  in  the  soil  without  being  injurious 
to  the  plants,  if  used  at  the  proper 
strength.  Usually  plants  that  are  at- 
tacked will  become  stunted  and  worth- 
less.    I  do  not  know  whether  cuttings

POINTERS  ON  PANSIES

PANSIES  KEPT  TOO  WET. 

October  23  we  set  500  pansy  plants 
in  black  muck  soil,  mixed  with  about 
one-third  sand  and  treated  with  lime 
and  acid  phosphate.  The  plants  when 
set  were  large,  healthy  and  in  bud  and 
bloom.  "We  have  kept  the  ground  on 
the  wet  rather  than  on  the  dry  side. 
They  are  in  a  greenhouse,  well  venti- 
lated and  kept  at  an  average  of  55  de- 
grees. They  have  stopped  blooming. 
The  larger  leaves  turn  yellow  and  die. 
New  ones  grow,  but  also  turn  yellow 
and  the  plants  do  not  gain  any.  They 
are  free  from  aphis.  "What  is  the  trou- 
ble, and  how  can  we  remedy  it?

but  stopped  watering  them  and  most 
of  them  recovered  by  spring  and  had 
a  few  flowers.  Yet  I  considered  them 
a  dead  loss.  So  I  think  if  your  plants 
are  bad,  you  had  better  chuck  them  out 
and  plant  something  else.  The  next 
time  you  plant  pansies,  keep  them  drier. 
There  is  a  wrong  impression  about 
pansies.  Some  people  seem  to  think 
they  can  stand  and  want  any  amount 
of  water,  but  that  is  erroneous,  as  I 
have  seen  them  get  sick  from  too  much 
rain  when  growing  in  the  field,  in  light 
soil  at  that.  Although  they  do  best  in 
a  cool,  moist  situation,  the  watering  can 
be  overdone,  particularly  in  the  green- 
house. Chas.  Frost. 


It  seems  to  me  that  your  pansy  plants 
have  had  too  much  water.  Of  course, 
the  soil  might  have  too  much  lime  or 
phosphate.  I  have  not  had  any  experi- 
ence growing  pansies  in  muck  soil,  so 
I  cannot  say  anything  about  that.  I 
saw  some  pansies  last  fall  in  a  green- 
house; a  man  was  going  to  show  me 
how  to  grow  pansies.  As  they  were 
from  some  of  my  seed,  I  was  interested 
in  them  and  went  to  see  them.  They 
were  fine  plants,  coming  into  flower, 
but  I  told  him  they  were  too  wet.  He 
said,  "Pansies  want  plenty  of  water." 
Some  time  after  he  said  they  were  all 
turning  yellow.  They  were  the  sor- 
riest looking  lot  of  pansies  I  ever  saw, 
not  a  green  leaf  on  them.  I  advised 
him  to  pull  them  up;  he  did  not  do  so, 


PANSIES  FOR  SPRING  SALES. 

Please  tell  me  if  pansy  seed  can  be 
sown  now  in  flats  in  the  greenhouse,  the 
seedlings  to  be  transferred  to  flats  or 
pots.  At  what  stage  should  they  be 
planted  in  the  coldframes,  to  be  ready 
for  the  spring  sales?  How  much  should 
the  sashes  be  covered  in  hardening  off? 

J.  K.  H.— Pa. 

Pansy  seed  can  be  started  in  the 
greenhouse  and  the  plants  put  in  flats 
or  benches  and  planted  in  the  cold- 
frames  as  early  as  possible  in  the 
spring;  it  can  be  done  in  March  if  the 
frames  have  been  covered  up  through 
the  winter.  It  would  hardly  pay  to  pot 
them.  Pansy  plants  are  grown  this  way 
in  some  places  where  people  will  pay  a

good  price  for  small  plants,  but  they 
are  not  generally  profitable  when  grown 
in  pots.  The  sashes  ought  to  be  enough 
covering  for  them  and  should  be  taken 
off  early  or  else  the  plants  will  be 
drawn.  The  best  selling  plants  are  from 
seed  sown  July  10  to  20.  Large  plants 
with  five,  six  or  more  blooms  are  what 


people  want.  Those  planted  in  frames 
bring  about  5  cents  each  and  those  from 
the  open. ground  as  low  as  IY2  cents  each 
in  the  latter  part  of  the  season.  Al- 
most every  trucker  or  flower  grower 
around  Kenilworth,  in  northeastern  New 
Jersey,  grows  from  half  an  acre  to  sev- 
eral acres  of  them.  Charles  Frost.

MAKING  NEW  FLOWER  BUYERS 


In  tlie  Wage-Earning  Class. 

~  Since  the  beginning  of  the  late  war  a 
new  prospect  has  presented  itself  for 
the  serious  consideration  of  the  florist. 
The  prospect  I  refer  to  is  the  increased 
number  among  the  wage-earning  class 
who  have  become  regular  purchasers  of 
flowers.  These  could  be  greatly  in- 
creased by  education  and  soliciting.  If 
such  a  prospect  were  to  present  itself 
in  any  of  the  large  mercantile  lines,  the 
sales  agent  would  follow  it  up  until  the 
business  was  well  in  hand,  but  in  that 
instance,  however,  it  would  be  simply  a 
case  of  individuals  having  use  for  a 
certain  line  of  goods  and  the  salesmen 
could  work  on  them  all  the  time.  With 
regard  to  flowers  it  is  an  entirely  diflfer- 
ent  proposition;  the  need  for  flowers 
by  those  referred  to  comes  only  at  stated 
times  and  in  the  majority  of  cases  at 
times  of  bereavement.  To  solicit  busi- 
ness at  such  a  time  requires  much  deli- 
cacy, discretion  and  tact,  yet  in  every 
large  city  of  the  country  much  of  this 
is  done.  This  is  looked  upon  by  many 
as  not  ethical. 

After  giving  this  subject  much  study 
and  thought,  I  am  thoroughly  convinced 
that  the  manner  of  approach  of  the 
solicitor  is  the  reason  that  this  form  of 
soliciting  business  is  looked  upon  as  un- 
professional by  those  engaged  in  the 
florists'  business. 

Is  There  a  Legitimate  Way? 

Is  there  not  some  diplomatic  wav  in 
which  to  approach  a  bereaved  family, 
so  as  not  to  add  sorrow  to  the  family 
at  such  a  time?  In  fifty  per  cent  of 
such  cases  the  business  is  there,  and 
often,  at  such  times,  flowers  are  not 
thought  of  until  some  one  reminds  the 
family  of  them.  In  many  cases  it  is 
the  first  time  they  have  had  occasion 
to  use  flowers,  and,  consequently,  they 
have  no  particular  i)lace  to  purchase 
them,  even  though  they  think  of  them. 
Here  is  the  opportunity  to  develop  busi- 
ness and  to  make,  by  courteous  treat- 
ment, a  new  customer. 

I  have  known  florists  who  looked 
down  upon  this  mode  of  doing  business, 
but  who  would  not  hesitate  to  pay  an 
undertaker  a  good  commission  to  do 
it  for  him.  Surely  a  florist  could  offer 
better  suggestions  than  an  undertaker. 
I  have  known  florists  who  would  have 
their  solicitors  at  the  newspaper  offices 
when  the  first  copy  of  the  paper  came 
off  the  press,  to  go  over  the  death  list 
and  be  at  the  house  of  bereavement  be- 
fore daylight.  This  jiractice  gained  for 
them  the  sobriquet  of  "crape  puller," 
yet  in  this  crude  way  they  have  built  up 
a  large  and  lasting  business.  One  of  the 
things  which  did  much  to  harm  this  mode 


of  soliciting  was  the  fact  that  it  opened 
the  door  for  unreliable  florists;  that  is, 
persons  who  were  after  the  money  and 
nothing  more. 

We  will  assume  there  is  much  business 
to  be  had  in  this  field;  let  us  look  into 
the  matter  and  see  if  there  is  not  some 
legitimate  way  to  go  after  it. 

Discretion  and  Dignity. 

To  do  this  the  morning  papers  must 
be  your  help.  You  will  have  to  get  out 
early  to  obtain  a  copy  of  the  first  issue. 
You  must  have  a  good  form  letter  pre- 
pared. In  writing  this  letter,  let  it  be 
strictly  a  business  one  and  remember  the 
one  who  will  receive  it  is  in  deep  sorrow. 
Have  good  stationery,  giving  your  busi- 
ness address  and  telephone  number;  say 
you  specialize  in  funeral  offerings,  and 
that  a  call  on  the  telephone  will  bring 
your  agent  to  their  home  with  a  line  of 
samples  to  select  from.  Don  't  nmke  your 
letter  too  long,  but  have  it  to  the  point 
and  remember  it  is  to  give  you  the  op-' 


portunity  you  desire.  This  is  all  going 
to  take  work,  but  no  business  ever  suc- 
ceeded without  work. 

When  you  have  addressed  your  letter 
from  the  early  issue  of  the  paper,  mail 
the  letter  at  the  postoffice,  as  it  should 
go  out  in  the  first  delivery.  In  most 
cases  it  will  be  received  while  the  family 
is  at  breakfast.  This  will  bring  the  sub- 
ject of  flowers  to  their  attention.  If  you 
get  a  response,  send  a  good,  discreet 
salesperson,  with  an  album  of  designs,  to 
call.  Above  all,  after  an  order  is  pro- 
cured, let  it  be  everything  that  was 
promised. 

Now  that  you  have  an  opening,  I  would 
suggest  that  a  folder  of  some  sort  be 
mailed  at  regular  intervals.  Flowers 
will  be  wanted  for  the  cemetery  and 
often  flowers  will  be  required  on  happiej;; 
occasions.  Indeed,  I  know  of  no  better 
way  to  reach  this  new  class  of  possible 
flower-buyers  than  this.  A  death  in  a 
family  is  the  only  means  of  your  getting 
this  business,  but  once  you  have  secured 
the  business,  it  will  be  your  own  fault 
if  you  do  not  hold  the  patronage  of  this 
family.  Tate.

MOTT-LY  MUSINGS 


"Judging  from  present  appearances, 
we  shall  have  a  record-breaking  holiday 
trade,"  observed  A.  J.  Binley,  of  Glens 
Falls,  N.  Y.,  "taxing  our  equipment 
and,  we  hope,  filling  the  exchequer." 

•  •    •    • 

Crandall's  Flower  Shop,  of  Glens 
Falls,  N.  Y.,  made  a  specialty  of  made- 
up  baskets  for  the  holidays.  It  is  an 
excellent  way  of  working  up  plants  that 
will  not  catch  the  eye  as  single  speci- 
mens.

W.  W.  Hannell,  of  Watervliet,  N.  Y., 
had  a  good  stock  of  cyclamens,  which 
sold  freely  at  $5  apiece,  in  striking 
contrast  to  a  few  years  ago,  when  50 
cents  was  the  limit;  one  of  the  strongest 
evidences  of  advancement  both  in  cul- 
ture and  appreciation  of  values.  Be- 
gonia Glory  of  Cincinnati,  poinsettias 
and  heather  were  also   in  large  supply.

Sambrook  Bros.,  of  Troy,  N.  Y.,  fea- 
tured combination  baskets.  A  few  sam- 
ples made  up  around  Thanksgiving 
started  the  ball  rolling,  so  to  speak,  for 
sales  have  been  steady  since  that  time. 

•  •    •    • 

Jas.  G.  Barrett,  of  Troy,  N.  Y.,  has 
been,  as  usual,  busy  with  funeral  work, 
and  anticipated  a  banner  holiday  trade, 
having  a  fine  general  stock  to  meet  the 
demand. 


Henry  Bensel,  of  Ballston  Spa,  N.  T.,

The  Market. 

Shortage  of  stock  was  expected  for 
the  Christmas  trade,  which  is  not  at  all 
surprising  when  one  considers  the  fact 
that  there  has  been  practically  no  sun- 
light for  eight  weeks. 

Prices  last  week  were  higher  natu- 
rally, almost  as  high  as  those  quoted  for 
this  week.  Carnations  sold  at  wholesale 
for  $12,  while  roses  varied  from  $12  to 
$14  per  hundred.  American  Beauties 
ranged  from  $9  to  $12  per  dozen  and 
were  quoted  at  $18  straight  for  the 
holiday  trade. 

Boxwood  is  practically  cleaned  up,  the 
southern  shippers  having  failed  to  get 
in  their  late  shipments.  Those  who 
failed  to  get  part  of  the  early  shipments 
skirmished  to  get  the  crumbs  of  the 
trade. 

Various  Notes. 

William  A.  Clarke  recently  said  that 
a  local  woman  of  cosmopolitan  social  ex- 
perience told  him  that  the  floral  deco- 
rations for  the  numerous  debutante  en- 
tert^nments  in  Pittsburgh  were  the 
n'ost  artistic  she  had  seen  anywhere  in 
this  country  or  Europe.  While,  per- 
haps, one  or  two  other  cities  now  and 
then  did  something  on  a  larger  scale, 
the  latter  somehow  lacked  the  results 
gained  by  the  master  hand  at  the  re- 
cent Pittsburgh  entertainments.

HEBMAN  P.  KNOBLE. 

EXACTLY  thirty-three  years  ago,  on  Christmas  day,  Herman  P.  Knoble,  with  his 
mother,  two  brothers  and  one  sister,  arrived  at  Castle  Garden,  New  York,  from 
Ehrenstatten,  Germany,  where  he  was  born  October  9,  1880.  The  first  thirteen 
years  in  this  country  the  family  spent  mainly  at  Huron,  O.,  where  Herman  worked 
at  odd  jobs,  notably  for  a  Dr.  Woessner,  and  the  medicinal  properties  of  plants  and 
Dr.  Woessner 's  botany  book  were  the  first  links  in  the  chain  that  led  to  flowers. 
Later  he  gained  a  business  training  from  six  years'  work  in  the  Mcintosh-Hunt- 
ington Co.,  a  Cleveland  wholesale  hardware  firm;  at  the  end  of  this  period  he  was 
in  charge  of  the  mail  order  department.  Just  then,  in  March,  1906,  a  welcome  offer 
came  from  Mr.  Greiff,  president  of  the  Ohio  Floral  Co.,  Cleveland,  to  operate  its 
retail  store  as  the  Ohio  Cut  Flower  Co.  He  accepted  and  six  weeks  later  took 
into  the  business  his  brother.  Otto.  In  1913  Herman  Knoble  bought  out  his 
brother's  interest  and  conducted  the  business  alone  until  July  1,  1919,  when  he 
took  in  his  half-brother,  Frank  J.  Ritzenthaler;  operating  under  the  firm  name  of 
Knoble  Bros.  Co.  Last  August  he  was  elected  a  director  of  the  S.  A.  F.,  having 
become  nationally  known  in  the  trade  from  his  energetic  and  progressive  work  in

;   Aa  Done  In  Southern  England. 

It  is  hoped  that  this  article  may  con-" 
tain   suggestions   that   will   be   helpful 
J  to  commercial  grape  growers  in  general, 

/  though  the  writer  does  not  unaertake 

to  give  instructions  that  would  be  uni- 
1  veTsally  applicable,  but  merely  describes 

/""-—:  the  cultural  methods  that  are  followed-, 
with  great  success  in  one  locality — ^in 
the  neighborhood  of  Worthing,  a  seA- 
side  resort  in  Sussex  county,  in  south-^ 
eastern  England.  That  locality  istid- 
mirably  adapted  to  the  culture  of  this 
delicious  fruit.  The  climatic  conditions 
and  the  soil  are  ideal  for  the  purpose. 
The  varieties  principally  grown  at 
Worthing  are  Black  Hamburgh,  Black 
Alicante  and  Muscat  of  Alexandria. 
The  latter  two  are  used  for  autumn  and 
winter  crops.  Black  Alicante  is  grown 
in  preference  to  Muscat  of  Alexandria, 
as  the  Muscat,  after  a  few  years  of 
cultivation,  is  susceptible  to  a  diseased 
condition  which  causes  what  is  termed 
"shanking,"  or  shriveling  of  the  ber- 
ries. 

Preparing  the  Vines. 

Some  of  the  vines  are  started  into 
active  growth  the  first  week  in  Novem- 
ber, and  other  sections  of  the  houses 
are  started  in  succession.  Previous  to 
starting  the  crops,  each  vine  is  sub- 
jected to  a  thorough  process  of  clean- 
ing. The  vines  usually  are  cut  back  to 
one  eye,  though  some  growers  prefer 
two.  Each  vine  is  hand-cleaned,  espe- 
cially at  the  joints,  where  the  red  spider 
is  likely  to  find  a  hiding  place.  A  prep- 
aration consisting  of  sulphur,  soft  soap 
and  clay,  thoroughly  mixed  with  water, 
is  painted  on  the  vines,  well  rubbed 
into  the  joints  and  allowed  to  dry,  so 
aa  to  leave  a  coating  of  the  ingredients 
to  smother  the  red  spider. 

Prior  to  the  opening  of  the  season, 
all  the  walls  of  the  greenhouses  are 
carefully  coated  with  a  lime  wash,  to 
"nsure  cleanliness.  The  vine  borders 
receive  a  good  mulch  of  decayed  ma- 
nure, spaded  or  forked  in  lightly,  so  as 
to  avoid  injuring  the  fibrous  roots. 

Timing  the  Successive  Crops. 

The  first  part  of  November,  as  already 
mentioned,  is  the  time  usually  chosen 
for  starting  the  early  crop,  which  will 
be  ready  for  cutting  by  the  latter  part 
of  March.  Black  Hamburgh  is  the  most 
popular  variety  for  this  crop,  as  it  is  the 
best  forcer  and  is  a  great  favorite  in 
the  markets,  having  a  most  delicious 
flavor.  In  December  and  January  other 
houses  are  started,  with  Black  Ham- 
burgh still  as  the  main  dependence. 
For  the  crops  started  in  February  and 
later,  Black  Alicante  and  Muscat  of 
Alexandria  are  used.  Black  Alicante 
is  a  prime  favorite  on  account  of  its 
remarkable  keeping  qualities,  which  are 
largely  due  to  the  thickness  of  its  skin. 

It  is  possible,  also,  to  keep  the  vines 


of  this  variety  in  a  dormant  condition 
after  the  close  of  winter,  thus  prolong- 
ing, the  grape  season.  To  maintain  this 
dormant  state,  the  greenhouses  are 
heavily  shaded,  the  interior  is  kept  dry 
and  t^^  ground  and  borders  are  covered 
with'  4ty  straw.  By  the  use  of  such 
means.  Black  Alicante  vines  have  been 
kept  dormant  until  well  into  spring, 
with  the  result  that  grapes  are  obtain- 
able in  the  markets  almost  the  year 
around. 

In  Connection  with  Catch  Crops. 

Each  vine  is  carefully  studied  and 
reflated  with  respect  to  the  quantity 
of  fruit  it  should  be  allowed  to  bear. 
Some  growers  prefer  two  bunches,  and 
some  prefer  one,  on  each  of  the  laterals 
or  side  shoots.  The  younger  vines,  if 
unrestrained,  produce  an  enormous  crop. 
Thinning  the  grapes  is  another  impor- 
tant operation,  which  usually  takes  place 
before  the  berries  become  tight  or  a  few 
weeks  after  stoning;  that  is,  when  the 
pip  of  the  grape  is  formed.  Everything 
pertaining  to  catch  crops  is  removed,  so 
as  to  permit  the  thinners  to  have  free 
access  to  the  vines. 

In  connection  with  the  grapes,  catch 
crops  are  grown  to  a  considerable  ex- 
tent in  the  Worthing  district,  before 
the  foliage  of  the  vines  becomes  too 
dense  to  permjt  such  use  of  the  space. 
One  of  the  early  catch  crops  consists 
of  bulbous  stock,  such  as  daffodils,  nar- 
cissi, etc.  Callas  in  pots,  adiantums, 
Asparagus    Sprengeri,    and    batches    of 


National  Publicity  Campaign 


cypripediums  which  have  been  growing 
outside  in  pits,  are  brought  in  and 
placed  under  the  vines  when  the  grape 
crops  are  over.  Early  chrysanthemums 
also  are  used  extensively  for  this  pur- 
pose. 

Extent  of  the  Business. 

It  is  apparent,  therefore,  that  every 
available  foot  of  space  is  used.  One 
grower  makes  a  big  hit  with  pot-grown 
beans,  another  with  pot-grown  straw- 
berries. 

All  this  vast  and  varied  quantity  of 
produce  finds  its  way  to  the  great  mar- 
kets, principally  to  London,  Manchester, 
Liverpool  and  Glasgow.  In  July  the 
output  approaches  the  nature  of  a  glut. 
Two  trains,  called  the  fruit  trains,  are 
made  up  every  other  day.  Tons  of 
grapes,  shipped  mostly  in  12-pound  bas- 
kets, thus  find  their  way  all  over  the 
British  Isles. 

About  150  business  men  operate  this 
particular  branch  of  greenhouse  culture, 
and  the  Worthing  Gazette  states  that 
their  greenhouses,  if  put  end  to  end, 
would  reach  about  fifty  miles  in  length. 

The  writer,  who  was  a  grower  in  the 
Worthing  district  for  a  considerable 
time,  was  credibly  informed  that,  when 
grape  growing  under  glass  was  in  its 
infancy,  as  much  as  $5  per  pound  was 
received  for  the  fruit  in  the  London 
market.  William  Day. 


MILDEW  ON  DAHLIAS. 

Many  of  my  dahlia  plants  are  badly 
affected  with  mold  or  mildew.  Two 
years  ago  my  plants  were  touched  with 
this,  but  they  were  grown  sixty-five 
miles  from  my  present  location.  I  used 
the  roots  of  the  affected  plants,  but  last 
year  did  not  see  any  of  this  trouble.  It 
has  appeared  more  on  some  of  the  plants 
I  bought  in  the  spring  than  on  the 
plants  from  the  old  roots.  The  foliage 
of  the  plants  is  covered  with  something 
like  a  white  mold.  The  upper  branches 
and  leaves  seem  free  from  it.  More 
than  half  my  plants  are  affected.  The 
soil  is  just  good  garden  soil  and  the 
cultivation  the  same  as  I  have  used 
successfully  for  many  years.  This  sum- 
mer has  been  unusually  hot  and  dry  and 
after  the  buds  appeared  I  watered  the 
plants  freely  with  the  hose.  Can  you 
tell  me  what  is  the  matter  and  what 
temedy  to  use  so  that  I  shall  not  have 
to   discard  and  destroy  my  roots? 

J.  B.  A.— N.  C. 


Abe  Martin  Say*: 

0'  course  it  costs  money  t'  "Say  It  with 
Flowers,"  but  it's  well  worth  th'  diflfer- 
ence  if  you  don't  use  good  English. 


Dahlias  are  attacked  by  both  white 
mold,  which  attacks  the  stems  and  later 
causes  plants  to  wilt  and  eventually 
die,  and  mildew,  which  seems  to  be  what 
your  plants  have  suffered  from.  Causes 
of  mildew  are  cold  nights  following  hot 
days  and  watering  with  the  hose  or 
sprinklers  on  the  evenings  of  hot  days. 
Of  course  there  are  other  causes,  but 
the  two  named  are  responsible  in  great 
measure  for  outdoor  attacks  of  mildew. 
In  your  particular  case  I  would  blame 
the  hose,  especially  if  the  water  was 
sprayed  over  the  foliage.  Dusting  with 
sulphur  and  using  a  spray  of  Sulphocide 
or  Fungine,  used  as  soon  as  the  mildew 
appears,  are  the  best  possible  remedies. 
Do  not  be  discouraged  at  your  failure 
this  season.  Try  again.  Do  not  use 
any  fresh  manure  in  your  soil,  as  plants 
growing  in  this  will  fall  an  easier  prey 
to  mildew  than  any  others.  Persistent 
cultivation  of  the  soil,  or  mulching,  is 
preferable  to  watering  even  in  extreme- 
ly dry  weather.  C.  W.

The  Florists^  Review 


MILDEW  ON  SWEET  PEAS. 

Please  state  what  is  the  best  remedy 
for  mildew  on  sweet  peas  and  tell  us, 
also,  what  cultural  methods  should  be 
used  in  order  to  prevent  future  recur- 
rence of  the  trouble.  S.  F.  C- 


Sweet  peas  are  especially  liable  to  be 
attacked  by  mildew  in  late  fall,  if  they 
are  subjected  to  cold  drafts,  or  if  the 
temperature  and  general  atmospheric 
conditions  are  not  closely  watched.  Di- 
rect drafts  or  a  sudden  drop  in  temper- 
ature, with  a  damp  atmosphere  and  no 
artificial  heat,  will  spread  the  trouble 
fast.  A  suitable  temperature  is  45  de- 
grees at  night  until  the  flower  buds  show. 
After  that  the  heat  may  be  increased  to 
50  degrees,  with  a  rise  of  8  or  10  de- 
grees on  cloudy  days  and  10  to  15  de- 
grees on  clear  days.  Besides  regulat- 
ing the  temperature  and  ventilation 
carefully,  it  may  be  necessary  to  apply 
sulphur  to  the  heating  pipes  as  a  means 
of  checking  the  disease,  but  an  exces- 
sively strong  dose  of  sulphur  will  injure 
the  flowers. 


TO    PREVENT    BUD-DROPPING. 

I  have  a  house  of  sweet  peas  that  are 
dropping  all  their  buds.  Is  there  any- 
thing that  I  can  do  to  stop  this?  Last 
fall  I  had  no  compost  and  so  used  good 
top  soil,  mixing  in  a  liberal  amount  of 
sheep  manure  and  bone  meal.  When 
they  began  to  grow,  I  gave  them  an 
occasional  dose  of  sheep  liquid.  They 
have  grown  well  and  are  six  or  eight 
feet  tall,  perfectly  clean  and  with  long 
flower  stems,  but  the  buds  turn  light 
yellow  and  drop  off.         A.  H. — Conn. 


Your  sweet  peas  are  dropping  their 
buds  for  either  one  of  two  reasons,  pos- 
sibly both.  You  may  have  given  them 
an  excess  of  nitrogenous  manure,  which 
produces  a  heavy,  soft  growth  that  does 
not  hold  buds  in  the  winter.  Or  the 
dropping  may  have  been  due  to  a  pro- 
tracted period  of  cloudy  weather.  Three 
to  five  days  of  such  weather,  unless  the 
growth  is  well  hardened,  will  drop  a 
crop  of  buds.  Experiments  have  shown 
that  by  running  the  plants  quite  dry 
at  the  roots,  beginning  early  in  the  fall, 
it  is  possible  to  harden  the  growth 
to  the  point  where  it  produces  short- 
stemmed  flowers  continuously  until  the 
end  of  February.  Long-stemmed  flowers 
and  vigorous  growth  are  to  be  had 
only  at  the  expense  of  some  bud-drop- 
ping, even  in  normal  winters.  When 
the  sun  fails  to  show  itself  for  three 
or  four  days,  some  growers  begin  to 
drop  the  temperature  until  it  gets  to  45 
degrees  at  night.  Keeping  the  air  cool 
overcomes  to  some  extent  the  weaken- 
ing effect  of  the  dark  weather,  allow- 
ing the  plants  to  conserve  their  energy. 


During  favorable  weather  the  day  tem- 
perature is  kept  at  60  degrees  on  cloudy 
days  and  65  t<y  70  degrees  in  sunshine. 
The  further  you  get  into  winter,  the 
less  water  should  be  applied. 


TREATMENT  OF  SWEET  PEAS. 

My  sweet  peas  are  dying  at  the  roots. 
They  shrivel  up  and  turn  brown  where 
the  stalk  comes  through  the  ground.  Do 
you  think  that  some  worm  might  be  at 
the  roots?  W.  C.  H.— Pa. 


have  been  dying  off;  some  die  when 
small  and  some  after  they  have  grown 
four  or  five  feet  high  and  have  bloomed. 
Please  tell  us  what  is  the  matter  with 
these  plants.  S.  F.  C. — O. 

The  plants  as  received  show  no  trace 
of  disease.  The  growth  appears  to  have 
been  checked  through  lack  of  moisture 
at  the  root.  If  a  large  proportion  of  the 
plaints  are  in  this  condition,  they  should 
be  thrown  out,  for  no  amount  of  treat- 
ment will  bring  them  into  profitable 
growth.  Early  sowings  must  be  care- 
fully watched  to  prevent  their  getting 
into  this  condition.  The  large  plants 
should  grow  along  vigorously  at  this 
date;  if  grown  on  a  solid  bed,  be  sure 
the  soil  is  moist  to  a  depth  of  eighteen  or 
twenty  inches.  If  they  continue  to  die 
off  during  the  winter,  the  soil  should 
not  be  used  next  season  for  early  sowing.

This  trouble  with  your  sweet  peas 
may  be  due  to  some  worm,  but  more 
probably  to  an  unsuitable  condition  of 
the  soil.  If  the  soil  is  at  all  sour,  I 
would  suggest  scattering  some  air-slaked 
lime  along  the  rows;  scratch  it  over  the 
surface  and  water  it  in.  This  will  also 
act  as  a  deterrent  to  soil  pests.  Do  not 
keep  your  plants  too  warm;  45  degrees 
at  night  is  about  right  until  the  flowers 
are  ready  to  open;  then  advance  to  50 
degrees.  Ventilate  freely,  but  avoid  cold 
drafts.  On  dark  days  let  the  tempera- 
ture run  up  to  56  or  58  degrees  before 
ventilating.  To  fill  the  blanks,  sow  more 
seeds  in  sand  or  small  pots  and  trans- 
plant them.  C.  W. 

SWEET  PEAS  TOO  DRY. 

We  are  sending  under  separate  cover

^'-^       SHASTA  DAISIES.       ^  «.— ..^ 

When  should  field  clumps  of  Shasta 
daisies  be  planted  in  a  carnation  tem- 
perature to  have  them  in  bloom  for 
Easter,  also  for  Memorial  day. 

E.  A.  E.— 111. 

I  have  not  found  Shasta  daisies  a  suc- 
cess for  Easter,  but  if  you  try  them, 
the  clumps,  left  outdoors  until  they 
have  had  several  good  freezings,  should 
be  lifted  and  stored  in  a  coldframe 
or  pit.  Place  the  clumps  in  your  carna- 
tion temperature  about  January  10  and 
water  carefully  to  prevent  damping  off. 
They  will  do  better  in  a  raised  bench  if 
you  have  it.  For  Memorial  day  start  the 
plants  about  March  15.  You  are  fairly  ■ 
certain  to  get  a  nice  crop  from  Shastas 
started  at  this  date,  but  I  do  not  con- 
sider that  Shasta  daisies  are  at  all  com- 
parable with  yellow  and  white  mar- 
guerites, planted  in  benches  or  beds,  for 
a  Memorial  day  crop.  You  can  secure, 
should  you  wish,  cuttings  of  the  latter, 
planting  them  out  in  January  or  Feb- 
ruary if  you  have  any  vacant  bench 
space.  C.  W.

Legdi  Decision: 


F.  O.  B.  CLAUSE  IMPORTANT. 

The  law  is  well  settled  that,  as  be- 
tween the  seller  and  buyer  of  goods  to 
be  shipped  by  rail,  the  risk  of  freezing 
or  other  deterioration  in  transit  is  to 
be  borne  by  one  or  the  other  according 
to  any  express  or  implied  agreement  as 
to  where  delivery  was  to  be  made.  A 
sale  f.  0.  b.  place  of  shipment  imposes 
the  risk  on  the  buyer  unless  there  is 
special  agreement  to  the  contrary.  A 
sale  without  mutual  understanding  as 
to  where  delivery  is  to  be  made  is  pre- 
sumed to  have  been  made  under  in- 
tention that  shipment  to  the  buyer  as 
consignee  should  pass  title,  the  carrier 
being  regarded  as  his  agent  and  not  the 
shipping  seller's.  A  sale  f.  o.  b.  desti- 
nation places  the  risk  on  the  seller,  noth- 
ing appearing  to  the  contrary  in  the 
agreement. 

But,  elementary  as  these  legal  prin- 
ciples are,  the  courts  are  still  daily 
called  upon  to  adjudicate  cases  involv- 


ing them.  For  example,  just  the  other 
day  the  Appellate  Division  of  the  New 
York  Supreme  court  passed  upon  a  case 
where  perishable  goods  were  sold  f.  o.  b. 
Chicago  for  shipment  to  New  York.  The 
buyer  received  and  retained  the  bill  of  , 
lading,  but  when  the  goods  arrived  and 
were  found  to  have  been  frozen  in  tran- 
sit, he  returned  the  bill  of  lading 
to  the  seller  and  refused  to  re- 
ceive or  pay  for  the  goods.  The  court 
holds  that  title  had  passed  to  the  buyer 
and  "such  deterioration  in  transit  fol- 
lows the  title  in  the  consignee." 

But  the  rule,  that  a  delivery  to  a  rail- 
way company  at  the  place  of  shipment 
passes  title  to  the  buyer  where  the 
agreement  does  not  manifest  intention 
of  the  parties  that  the  seller  is  to  deliver 
at  the  destination,  carries  with  it,  by  im- 
plication, an  understanding  that  the 
seller  is  to  properly  bill  and  pack  the 
goods.  He  will  be  liable,  ordinarily,  for 
losses  due  to  improper  or  insufficient 
packing,  etc.  8.

Mekry  Christmas. 

The  time  is  not  in  sight  when  the  pro- 
duction of  plants  will  catch  up  with  the 
demand. 

Give  the  other  fellow  credit  for  mo- 
tives as  good  as  your  own ;  sometimes  they 
might  even  be  better. 

Many  a  bench  now  will  be  filled  with 
gladiolus  bulbs  instead  of  being  per- 
mitted to  stand  idle  this  winter. 

Produce  plenty  of  spring  bedding  stock 
— yes.  But  produce  it  of  good  quality. 
Prices  will  repay  the  extra  care. 

What  the  trade  needs  is  quality — there 
are  too  many  growers  who  seek  maximum 
jiroducfion  witliout  regard  to  the  quality 
of  their  stock. 

There  seems  to  be  no  surplus  of  any- 
thing this  season,  except  work ;  there  is 
plenty  of  that  to  go  around  among  all 
who  are  capable  of  doing  it. 

A  well-known  publicity  man  calls  the 
growers  "a  tongue-tied  trade."  Yea, 
verily,  but  they  are  getting  over  it,  and 
how  the  florists'  business  will  boom! 

So  strong  has  been  the  resi)onse  to  Sec- 
retary Young's  appeal  for  life  members 
in  the  S.  A.  F.  while  the  low  rate  lasted 
that  the  stock  of  engraved  certificates  ha.s 
been  exhausted.  The  new  ones  ordered 
will  not  be  delivered  until  after  the  holi- 
days. 

It  is  an  extremely  bad  ha])it,  when  over- 
sold on  a  batch  of  plants,  to  hold  orders 
until  the  next  lot  is  ready.  And  the 
worst  part  of  it  is  that  this  usually  is 
done  with  the  orders  that  were  accom- 
panied by  remittances.  To  casli  a  man's 
check  and  not  ship  his  order  for  anywhere 
from  two  to  twelve  weeks  is  not  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  golden  rule. 

The  editor 's  desk  is  decorated  with 
chrysanthemums  this  Christmas.  The 
variety  is  Hamburg  Late  Pink,  a  sport  of 
Maud  Dean,  which  appeared  a  number  of 
years  ago  at  tlie  establishment  of  C.  T. 
Guenther,  Hamburg,  N.  Y.  It  is  liked  so 
well  in  the  vicinity  of  Buffalo  that  it  has 
been  decided  to  disseminate  it  next  spring, 
through  the  Wm.  F.  Kasting  Co.  The 
flowers  sent  to  The  Review  were  excellent 
and  evidently  might  have  been  left  on 
the  plant  still  later  if  desired. 


When  you  help  the  other  fellow's  busi- 
ness you  help  your  own. 

Empty  benches  are  the  most  costly 
things  in  any  greenhouse  establishment. 

The  dealer  who  complains  about  the 
business  methods  of  another  might  check 
up  his  own  mothoda  first.  , 

Without  question,  growers  would  re- 
ceive more  for  their  flowers  if  those  in 
charge  of  the  selling  could  get  out  of 
their  heads  the  old  idea  of  oflfering  reduc- 
tions in  prices  the  moment  stock  begins 
to  accumulate. 

An  advertisement  which  asks,  "Write 
us  on  your,  letterhead,"  follows  the  as- 
sumption that  business  stationery  gives 
an  indication  of  the  firm's  character. 
Even  when  printing  costs  are  mounting, 
money  paid  for  properly  printed  letter- 
heads, billheads,  etc.,  is  well  spent  by  the 
man  who  is  building  a  permanent  busi- 
ness. 


THE  TRADE'S  CHRISTMAS. 

The  days  before  Christmas  gave 
ample  evidence  how  extensive  would  be 
the  sales  for  this  holiday.  No  one  had 
doubt  that  every  flower  and  plant 
would  be  sold  when  florists  sat  down 
to  their  Christmas  dinners'.  And  though 
prices  this  autumn  were  high,  the  usual 
holiday  increase  occurred,  carrying 
figures  up  to  marks  that  few  thought 
possible.  Just  how  high  they  would  go 
could  only  be  seen  at  the  eleventh  hour, 
but  buyers  were  bidding  strong  in  their 
desire  to  get  wanted  stock  when,  the 
week  opened  and  their  determination 
gave  evidence  of  still  stronger  offers 
later. 

So  closes  an  autumn  which  has  been 
the  most  successful  and  most  profitable 
in  the  trade's  history.  Without  an  in- 
fluenza epidemic  to  create  demands  on 
stock,  prices  have  held  high  and  sales 
have  continued  strong  since  cool  weather 
began.  How  much  of  such  sales  is  due 
to  the  general  prosperity,  how  much  to 
greater  trade  publicity  and  how  much 
to  other  causes,  is  difficult,  if  possible 
at  all,  to  determine.  Until  trade 
analysts  sav  which  cause  is  most  im- 
portant and  which  is  less,  florists  will 
be  satisfied  with  the  knowledge  that  the 
results  are  what  they  have  been  and, 
winding  up  with  a  record  holiday  sale, 
celebrate  their  most  prosperous  Christ- 
mas.  , 


CONSIDER    THE    OTHER    FELLOW. 

Tn  a  trade  that  deals  in  perishable 
commodities  consideration  of  the  man 
at  the  other  end  of  a  sale  is  more  desir- 
able and,  indeed,  necessary  than  in 
otlier  lines  of  business.  Wlien  differ- 
ences of  opinion  develop  in  transac- 
tions concerning  goods  which  are  not 
affected  by  delays  and  weather  condi- 
tions, the  leisurely  progression  of  the 
courts  of  law  will  settle  the  matter  and 
one  or  the  other  of  the  parties  concerned 
will  take  ultimate  possession  of  the 
merchandise  without  its  having  suffered 
materially  in  the  meantime.  It  is  quite 
otherwise  in  the  florists'  trade.  When 
a  person  receives  a  shipment  of  plants 
or  bulbs  or  other  stock  which  is  not 
up  to  the  standard,  according  to  the 
buyer's  mind,  or  perhaps  had  been  dam- 
aged by  weather  conditions  or  improper 
packing,  the  consignee  cannot  re.iect 
them  summarily.  He  may  be  the  loser, 
and  perhaps  legal  redress  would  not 
compensate   him   for   the   loss.     Perhaps 


legal  action  is  prevented  by  some  tech- 
nicality of  which  he  has  never  heard. 
Yet  if  he  accepts  the  shipment,  there 
are  still  other  questions  that  make 
doubtful  his  ability  to  recover  dam- 
ages. By  the  time  a  court  hears  the 
case,  only  testimony,  not  the  goods 
themselves,  remains  as  evidence,  and  the 
outcome  is  doubtful  to  any  but  a  keen 
legal  mind. 

The  buyer,  when  he  places  his  order, 
can  by  definite  shipping  directions  aid 
the  shipper  to  give  him  the  best  service. 
And  the  seller,  by  thought  of  the 
buyer's  interest  in  the  transaction,  can 
remove  a  large  share  of  possible  trouble. 
It  is  to  his  interest  to  do  so,  for  nothing 
serves  to  build  a  business  so  fast  as 
reliable  service.  Low  prices  are  of 
value  only  as  an  introduction;  no  prices 
are  so  low  that  a  buyer  who  has  not 
been  satisfied  a  first  time  will  come 
again.  No  individual  can  make  money 
by  selling  to  each  customer  but  once. 
Success  comes  in  selling  to  the  same 
buyer  time  and  time  again.  The  basis 
of  such  repeat  orders  is  mutual  satisfac- 
tion, which  comes  of  consideration  for 
the  man  at  the  other  end  of  the  deal. 


WHO    KNOWS    ABOUT    THIS? 

We  have  heard  that  some  of  the 
growers  in  eastern  Pennsylvania  and 
New  York  are  using  cast-iron  radiators 
for  heating  instead  of  pipe.  We  should 
like  to  be  put  right  on  the  subject  and 
to  know  the  names  of  one  or  two  firms 
that  are  using  cast-iron  radiation,  if 
the  rumor  is  true.  We  are  interested.

STOCK  FROZEN  IN  TRANSIT. 

The  present  cold  weather  makes  of 
timely  interest  a  decision  handed  down 
the  other  day  by  the  North  Dakota  Su- 
preme court  in  the  case  of  O.  J.  Barnes 
Co.  vs.  Northern  Pacific  Railway  Co. 
(173  Northwestern  Reporter,  943),  con- 
cerning the  liability  of  railway  com- 
panies for  freezing  of  freight  in  transit. 
The  gist  of  the  court's  decision,  which 
seems  to  state  sound  law,  applicable 
throughout  the  country,  is  as  follows: 

Where  a  railway  company  receives 
perishable  goods  for  shipment  at  a  sea- 
son when  it  is  reasonable  to  expect  freez- 
ing temperature,  and  where,  following  a 
delay  in  transportation,  the  goods  are 
damaged  by  freezing,  the  perishable  na- 
ture of  the  goods  is  to  be  taken  into 
consideration  in  determining  whether  or 
ftot  there  was  an  unreasonable  delay  in 
delivery. 

Where  goods  are  shipped  under  an 
option  in  the  shipper,  as  against  the  rail- 
way company,  whereby  the  shipper  as- 
sumes the  risk  of  the  goods  being  dam- 
aged by  heat  or  cold,  the  company  is  not 
relieved  from  liability  for  such  damage 
if  the  same  is  caused  directly  by  a  delay 
in  transportation. 

Nor  can  a  railway  company  escape 
liability  for  freezing  of  goods  on  the 
ground  that  the  damage  was  caused  by 
an  act  of  God,  where  the  freezing  might 
well  have  been  foreseen  as  a  direct  re- 
sult of  the  carrier's  failure  to  make  rea- 
sonably prompt  delivery.  S.

The  Horists'  Review 


Enud  Gimdestrup. 

Knud  Gundestrup,  seedsman  and 
onion  set  operator,  died  at  his  home  in 
Chicago,  December  18,  after  a  brief  ill- 
ness. Mr.  Gundestrup  was  52  years  of 
age.  He  was  a  native  of  Denmark, 
where  he  grew  up  to  a  knowledge  of 
agricultural  seeds  and  the  export  seed 
trade.  His  first  business  venture  on 
his  own  account  in  America  was  under- 
taken in  1904,  but  after  some  years  he 
returned  to  the  Scandinavian  countries, 
where  he  spent  three  and  one-half  years. 
Returning  to  (Chicago  in  1915,  he  at  once 
re-established  himself  in  the  seed  trade, 
with  a  store  on  Milwaukee  avenue,  in 
the  Jefferson  Park  district  of  Chicago, 
making  a  specialty  of  supplying  market 
gardeners'  seeds  and  wholesale  dealing 
in  onion  sets. 

The  funeral  was  held  at  the  Jefferson' 
Park   Congregational    church   December 
22,   interment   being   at   Mount   Olivet. 
There  was  a  large  attendance  and  many 
flowers. 

Mrs.  Aurena  Humfeld. 

Mrs.  Aurena  Humfeld,  wife  of  W. 
H.  Humfeld,  of  the'  Humfeld-Orear 
Floral  Co.,  Kansas  City,  Mo.,  died 
December  17  at  her  home,  3126  Chest- 
nut avenue,  after  a  short,  illness.  She 
was  62  years  of  age  and  had  lived  in 
Kansas  City  thirty  years.  She  is  sur- 
vived by  her  husband,  a  brother,  Her- 
man Braumecker,  Cincinnati,  O.,  and 
five  daughters,  Mrs.  L.  M.  Orear,  Kan- 
sas City;  Mrs.  P.  J.  Newman,  Manhat- 
tan, Kan.;  Miss  Sammai  Humfeld,  Pitts- 
burgh, Pa.,  and  Miss  Emma  W.  Hum- 
feld and  Miss  Viola  May-  Humfeld,  of 
the  home  address.  Funeral  services  were 
held  at  the  home  Friday  afternoon,  De- 
cember 19,  followed  by  interment  in 
Forest  Hill  cemetery. 

QeoTge  T.  Schuneman. 

George  T.  Schuneman,  of  Rockville 
Center,  N.  Y.,  died  at  his  home  Decem- 
ber 22,  from  pneumonia,  following  an 
illness  of  three  days.  Mr.  Schuneman 
was  at  one  time  a  large  grower  of  vio- 
lets and  later  became  one  of  the  pioneer 
growers  of  winter-flowering  sweet  peas. 


NEW  YORK. 


<  The  Market. 

The  eve  of  the  Christmas  holiday 
found  the  market  short  in  supply  and 
the  demand  less  than  might  have  been 
expected.  If  the  demand  had  been  nor- 
mal, some  difficulty  might  have  been  ex- 
perienced in  meeting  it.  It  was  quite 
evident  that  growers  in  some  lines  were 
holding  stock  as  long  as  possible  for 
late  sales.  Prices  in  most  lines  aroused 
much  criticism  among  retailers  and 
hand-to-mouth  buying  was  general. 

Plantsmen  generally  report  being  sold 
out,  with  the  biggest  trade  ever.  Deal- 
ers in  green  goods  also  report  a  good 
business,  although  stock  has  all  along 
been  plentiful,  with  the  exception,  per- 
haps, of  lycopodium,  which  is  hardly 
})rocurable.  Holly  in  case  lots  is  mov- 
ing freely,  but  many  florists  prefer  to 
buy  wreaths  ready-made,  asserting  that 
it  no  longer  pays  to  bother  making  them 
up. 


Roses  before  Christmas  were  plentiful 
only  in  the  longer  grades,  which  required 
considerable  effort  to  effect  a  movement. 
Sales  of  extras  were  made  last  week  at 
prices  little  in  advance  of  No.  2  grades,- 
so  much  out  of  proportion  was  the  sup- 
ply. The  zero  weather  experienced  De- 
cember 18  did  not  seem  to  curtail  ship- 
ments and  little  stock  arrived  in  frozen 
condition.  American  Beauty  specials 
moved  at  up  to  $150  per  hundred  and 
promised  to  go  higher,  since  the  supply 
in  sight  was  not  believed  to  be  large. 

Carnations  were  on  the  short  side  in 
point  of  supply,  and  little  stock  was  to 
Ije  had  at  less  than  $10  per  hundred;  $12 
was  the  price  for  best  grades,  with  as 
much  as  $15  for  selected  flowers. 

The  supply  of  gardenias  was  better 
only  because  the  price  asked  affected  the 
demand  for  them  and  the  severe  weather 
had  prevented  outdoor  use  of  corsage 
bouquets.  Prices  ranged  from  75  cents 
to  $1  each.  Cattleyas  were  affected 
for  the  same  reasons,  and  much  stock 
was  carried  over  each  day.  Cypripe- 
(^iums  were  plentiful  and  moved  fairly 
well  at  $4  to  6  per  dozen. 

Easter  lilies  were  short  in  supply,  and 
the  quality  of  arrivals  was  nothing  to 
boast  of  at  $25  per  hundred.  There  was 
a  fair  supply  of  rubrums  and  albums, 
the  former  bringing  $6  to  $15  and  the 
latter  $6  to  $10  per  hundred.  Lily  of 
the  valley  was  in  much  greater  supply, 
but  was  not  active  in  movement  at  the 
prices  asked,  15  to  30  cents  per  spray 
for  the  best.  Violets  were  not- in  heavy 
supply,  the  growers  shipping  much  stock 
to  the  west.  "When  good,  these  flowers 
brought  $3  per  hundred.  Some  good 
myosotis  was  availabje  in  small  quanti- 
ties and  moved  at  $2  per  bunch.  Paper 
White  narcissi  were  plentiful,  the  best 
moving  at  as  high  as  75  cents  per  bunch. 
Sweet  peas  were  not  plentiful,  the  crop 
having  been  cut  down  through  bud-drO'p- 
ping  on  account  of  weather  conditions. 
The  Christmas  supply  of  these  flowers 
was  short.  The  tail  end  of  the  chrys- 
anthemum cut  included  mostly  Chad- 
wick,  Bonnaffon  and  Nonin,  with  a  good 
supply  of  singles  in  long  sprays.  Stevia 
was  quite  abundant  at  15  to  35  cents 
per  bunch.  Daisies,  pansies,  calendulas, 
pink  bouvardia,  wallflowers  and  snap- 
dragons were  among  the  miscellaneous 
offerings  and  all  moved  freely. 

Market  arrivals  were  light  December 
23.  Top  prices  for  Beauties  touched  $2. 
Cattleyas  were  $3.  Carnations  brought 
15  to  20  cents  each  and  sales  were  made 
for  the  day  before  Christmas  at  25  cents 
apiece  for  red  varieties. 

Various  Notes. 

It  is  definitely  settled  that  Ladies' 
night  of  the  Florists'  Club  will  be  held, 
as  previously  arranged,  on  the  night  of 
January  12,  in  the  club's  quarters  at 
the  Engineering  Societies'  building.  The 
January  meeting  of  the  club  must  nec- 
essarily take  place  on  the  same  evening, 
but,  with  the  meeting  called  to  order 
promptly,  it  is  not  expected  that  the 
proceedings  need-tbe  of  an  extended  na- 
ture. The  house  committee  has  arrange- 
ments well  in  hand,  and  the  cuisine  will 
be  in  the  hands  of  a  first-class  caterer. 

Among  the  state  incorporations  an- 
nounced last  week  was  the  Burnham 
Boiler  Corporation,  of  Irvington,  N.  Y., 
with  a  capital  of  $1,000,000.  H.  L.  Van- 
derbilt,  C.  H.  Seifert  and  O.  F.  P.  Karb 
are  incorporators. 

The  death  occurred  December  20,  at 
the     Postgraduate     hospital,     of     Mrs. 


Helen  K.  S.  Pitcher,  wife  of  James  R. 
Pitcher,  of  the  old  firm  of  Pitcher  & 
Manda,  Short  Hills,  N.  J. 

Fifth  avenue  and  Broadway  florists 
displayed  for  the  holiday  trade  artificial 
plants  decorated  with  ribbon,  and  quite 
handsome  in  appearance.  Small  made- 
up  plants  of  retinispora  sprays  were  also 
seen  and  were  a  novelty. 

A.  L.  Miller,  Jamaica,  N.  Y.,  presi- 
dent-elect of  the  S.  A.  F.,  has  been  quite 
busy  of  late  with  the  appointments  he 
is  to  make  at  the  beginning  of  his  ad- 
ministration, and  which  are  to  be  an- 
nounced January  1. 

Samuel  Redstone,  recently  with  the 
Beechwood  Heights  Nurseries,  Bound- 
brook,  N.  J.,  is  now  with  the  Julius 
Roehrs  Co.,  Rutherford,  N.  J. 

A.  M.  Henshaw,  president-elect  of  the 
New  York  Florists'  Club,  h-^s  been  con- 
-fined  to  his  home  for  some  days  with 
a  severe  cold. 

The  Kottmiller  store,  426  Madison 
avenue,  has  had  a  rush  of  business  lately, 
chiefly  decorations  for  debutantes'  par- 
ties. The  crop  of  society  debutantes 
this  year  seems  to  be  unusually  large. 

The  sudden  cold  snap  of  last  week 
caught  several  florfsts  badly  and  result- 
ed in  the  loss  of  much  stock. 

The  next  meeting  of  the  flower  show 
committee  will  be  held  at  Secretary 
Young's  office,  1170  Broadway,  Monday 
afternoon,  January  12.  At  this  meeting 
the  designs  submitted  in  the  poster  con- 
test will  have  consideration. 

At  the  last  meeting  of  the  New  York 
Florists'  Club,  John  Canning,  of  Ards- 
ley,  was  depressed  with  a  presentiment. 
He  hastened  home,  and  on  arrival  found 
a  baby  daughter  awaiting  him.  Both 
mother  and  daughter  are  doing  well.

CHICAOO. 


The  Market. 


Monday  of  this  week,  December  22, 
set  a  new  record  for  the  Chicago  market. 
It  was  the  biggest  day  in  the  history 
of  the  trade  in  Chicago. 

With  this  issue  of  The  Review  going 
to  press  a  day  ahead  of  the  usual  sched- 
ule, it  is  impossible  to  give  more  than 
a  summary  of  the  Christmas  trade;  the 
details  must  wait  until  the  report  of  the 
final  day's  business  can  be  included. 
Business  increased  steadily  during  the 
week  before  Christmas,  while  the  supply 
of  stock  as  steadily  went  down.  Old- 
timers  in  the  market  have  become 
accustomed  to  what  is  called  the  lull 
before  the  storm,  but  this  year  the  trade 
encountered  nothing  in  the  nature  of 
a  calm.  December  19  the  market  was 
well  cleaned  up  and  December  20  scarce- 
ly a  flower  of  shipable  character  re- 
mained in  the  wholesalers'  iceboxes. 
December  20,  if  not  considered  as  with- 
in the  holiday  period,  will  rank  as  the 
best  Saturday  this  market  ever  has 
known. 

Christmas  shipping  began  on  Sunday. 
There  was  a  sufficient  volume  of  long 
distance  shipments  to  keep  most  of  the 
wholesalers  busy  all  day.  Much  effort 
also  was  put  on  drawing  in  from  the 
greenhouses  the  greatest  possible  quan- 
tity of  stock  for  Monday,  because  the 
accumulated  Christmas  order*  largely 
concentrated  on  December  22  and  it  wnf 
apparent  that  unusual  effort  would  be 
necessary  to  obtain  the  quantity  of  stock 
needed  to  fill  the  advance  orders.  For

elsewhere,  but  there  surely  are  none  finer  and  our  supply 
is  so  large  we  expect  to  be  able  to  fill  all  orders. 

Carnations  again  are  in  fair  supply  and  we  shall  be  able  to  take  good 
care  of  some  new  customers  for  New  Year's  and  in  the  New  Year.

davs  many  of  the  wholesalers  had  been 
declining  orders  for  the  shorter  grades 
of  roses  and  brighter  colors  of  carna- 
tions. Several  other  items,  like  violets, 
sweet  peas  and  valley,  also  were  short, 
but  the  orders  were  principally  for  roses 
and  carnations. 

The  number  of  orders  shipped  Decem- 
ber 22  probably  was  not  greater  than  at 
some  previous  "^  special  flower  days,  like 
Easter  and  Memorial  day,  but  thoaver- 
age  value  of  the  flowers  was  the  h'ifehest 
ever  known.  This  was  not  the  case(.>Hth^ 
some  of  the  miscellaneous  items,  but 
it  was  notably  true  of  roses.  Compared 
to  the  demand  for  them,  there  were  ex- 
tremely few  short  roses.  Not  many 
orders  were  accepted  below  10  cents  and 
several  houses  had  nothing  to  oflfer  be- 
low 12  or  15  cents.  While  the  heavy 
shipping  was  in  progress  it  was  impos^ 
sible  for  one  wholesaler  to  buy  roses  of 
another  for  less  than  25  or  30  cents.  At 
from  35  cents  to  $1  per  flower  roses 
could  be  had.  The  Christmas  market 
never  has  been  so  strong  on  long  roses. 
To  begin  with,  the  modern  varieties  give 
longer    stems    than    did    the    sorts    dis- 


placed. In  the  second  place,  the  early 
autumn  market  was  so  low  that  nearly 
all  growers  gave  at  least  a  part  of  their 
plants  an  extra  binch,  with  the  idea  of 
substituting  a  lo)ig-stemmed  Christmas 
crop  for  the  shorter  crop  which  might 
have  been  cut  at  the  earlier  date.  Beau- 
ties were  in  such  small  supply  that  $18 
easily  was  realized  for  first-class  long 
stems. 

It  was  found  that  many  houses  had 
overbooked  on  carnations  and  could  not 
fill  the  orders  they  had  taken.  Under 
such  circumstances  local  retailers  had 
only  one  chance  to  buy  stock  for  unex- 
pected funeral  work  and  they  proceeded 
to  bid  the  carnation  market  to  heights 
comparable  to  the  pinch  of  last  year. 

Shipping  continued  heavily  December 
23  and  there  were  many  additional  or- 
ders by  telegraph  to  strengthen  the  mar- 
ket. At  the  time  this  report  was  pre- 
pared it  seemed  impossible  that  the  mar- 
ket could  break  on  Christmas  eve.  So 
large  a  part  of  the  available  stock  must 
have  been  drawn  in  from  the  growers 
that  there  cannot  be  much  stock  in  their 


hands  to  be  dumped  on  the  market  after 
the  opportunity  to  use  it  is  gone. 

The  confidence  of  the  retail  dealers 
has  been  remarkable.  Never  before  have 
they  taken  hold  of  high-priced  stock, 
with  so  little  hesitation.  Also,  the  qual- 
ity of  stock  is  worth  a  special  mention. 
There  have  been  quite  a  few  chrysanthe- 
mums which  evidently  should  not  have 
been  held  for  Christmas  and  there  have 
been  a  good  many  overripe  carnations, 
but  the  roses,  the  big  item  of  the  Christ- 
mas market,  have  been  unusually  fine. 
There  will  be  complaints,  of  course,  but 
on  the  whole  the  market  never  has  had 
better  stock  or  a  better  demand. 

Mr.  Campanlni  and  the  Flowers. 

"It  never  rains  but  it  pours,"  and 
so  it  frequently  happens  that  when  the 
trade  is  busiest  with  a  holiday  rush  there 
comes  an  unusual  demand  for  funeral 
flowers.  It  was  so  in  Chicago  at  the 
beginning  of  this  week.  The  funeral  of 
Mr.  Campanini,  director  of  the  opera, 
created  a  call  for  flowers  greater  than 
anything  known  here  in  years.

Order  of  Randall 


New 


Flowers 


We  expect  this  market  will  have  a  rather  short  supply  for  a 
day  or  two  after  Christmas,  but  that  Randall's  will  have  a 
fine  lot  of  flowers  again  in  time  for  the  New  Year's  trade. 


/     ; 


Roses  and  Carnations 

Randall's  will  have  large  cuts  of  fine  quality  in  time  for  the  New  Year's 
shipping  orders.  Prices  will  be  quite  moderate  on  the  longest  grades  of  Roses 
— use  them  wherever  you  can, 

Your  New  Year's  Violets 

Our  growers  assure  us  of  a  large  supply  and  good  quality,  but  as  the  demand 
is  sure  to  be  strong  we  suggest  ordering  riglit  now  to  cover  your  needs.

tion  paid  an  unusual  compliment  to  a 
florist's  skill  by  sending  for  Victor  Berg- 
man to  take  charge  of  decorating  the 
Auditorium  for  the  memorial  service 
held  Sunday  afternoon.  Mr.  Bergman 
is  no  longer  in  the  retail  florists'  busi- 
ness, but  in  the  years  he  was  connected 
with  leading  retail  establishments  he 
had  done  much  satisfactory  decorating 
for  the  McCormick  family.  So  when  an 
unusual  order  was  to  be  given  Mr.  Mc- 
Cormick sent  for  Mr.  Bergman. 

For  the  service  the  stage  was  set  with 
the  temple  scene  in  Parsifal.  The  shaft 
of  light  in  the  center  of  the  stage  cus- 
tomarily illuminates  the  Holy  Grail,  but 


this  time  it  fell  upon  the  casket  on  its 
carpet  of  asparagus  and  white  carna- 
tions. The  casket  cover  was  one  of  the 
most  gorgeous  ever  made  in  Chicago. 
The  entire  top  of  the  casket  was  covered 
with  cattleyas.  Anyone  who  tried  to 
buy  such  flowers  during  the  last  month 
knows  what  effort  was  required  to  get

taking  all  that  were  offered  at  $3  each. 
Mr.  Bergman  bid  $4.  The  pendent  sides 
of  the  blanket  were  of  single  violets, 
with  an  edging  of  lily  of  the  valley.  At 
each  front  drop  there  was  a  tall  vase  of 
roses,  100  American  Beauties  in  one, 
100  longest  Kussells  in  the  other.     The 


other  flowers  used  on  the  stage  were 
seven  enormous  wreaths,  none  less  than 
six  feet  high  on  its  easel,  sent  by  friends 
and  associates  of  Mr.  Campanini.  They 
made  a  semicircle  as  far  back  of  the 
casket  as  they  could  be  placed  and  be 
within  the  scene.  Larger  and  finer  de- 
signs are  not  at  present  within  the  abil- 
ities of  the  florists'  trade,  but  unfortu- 
nately the  lighting  was  too  concentrated 
to  show  the  flowers  to  best  advantage. 

The  orchestra  pit  seats  more  than 
sixty  players.  Mr.  Bergman  was  asked

and  big  woodwardia  fronds,  sloping  both 
from  the  front  and  from  the  sides  to- 
ward the  upstanding  desk  on  which  lay 
a  sheet  of  music  and  a  baton.  A  few 
of  the  designs  from  friends  were  used 
in  the  decoration,  but  most  of  the  flow- 
ers were  chrysanthemums  in  radiating 
lines  to  carry  the  eye  to  the  faintly  il- 
luminated desk.  Several  boxes  in  the 
theater,  including  the  one  Mr.  Campa- 
nini  habitually  occupied  when  not  con- 
ducting, were  filled  with  floral  pieces- 
There  was  no  person  on  the  stage  during 
the  service,  which  was  entirely  of  music 
from  behind  the  scenes,  but  there  were 
many  thousands  in  the  theater  who  were 
appreciative  of  a  most  impressive  event 
in  which  flowers  bore  a  conspicuous  part. 
The  funeral  service  was  held  Decem- 
ber 22  and  there  were  hundreds  of 
wreaths  and  other  designs  in  addition  to 
those  which  had  arrived  in  time  for  the 
Sunday  memorial.  The  demand  for  this 
great  quantity  of  high-grade  work  was 
felt  by  practically  all  the  first-class 
stores  and  it  brought  many  large  tele- 
graph orders  to  those  represented  in  the 
Pink  Part  of  The  Review  during  the 
last  two  weeks. 

Coal  Prices  Oo  Up. 

Don 't  always  believe  what  you  read 
in  the  daily  papers.  About  a  week  ago 
we  learned  from  that  source  how  the 
government  had  settled  the  coal  strike 
— for  which  we  all  were  glad — on  the 
basis  of  fourteen  per  cent  advance  in 
wages,  to  come  out  of  the  operators ' 
profits,  prices  to  the  public  to  remain 
the  same.  Well,  perhaps!  Leastwise, 
we  are  not  of  the  public;  we're  the 
goats.  It  now  transpires  that  in  the 
contracts  for  the   season's  coal  supply

signed  last  summer  by  most  of  the 
larger  growers  there  was  a  neat  little 
clause  snuggled  down  in  the  middle 
Avhich  now  stands  out  like  a  gardenia 
in  the  center  of  a  corsage  of  violets. 
It  provided  that  should  there  be  a  re- 
adjustment of  miners'  wages  during 
the  life  of  the  contract  the  contract 
price  paid  for  the  coal  was  to  be  re- 
adjusted on  the  same  basis.     Promptly 


last  week  when  coal  began  coming 
through  again  the  price  was  advanced 
28  cents  per  ton.  The  only  ray  of  light 
lies  in  the  fact  that  the  coal  is  still 
being  obtained  at  about  50  cents  per 
ton  below  the  market  price. 

While  the  pinch  was  on  a  number  of 
growers  obtained  coal  front  the  fuel 
administration.  To  get  any  kind  of  low 
grade    central-fields    stuff    they   had    to 


put  up  cash  at  the  value  of  the  best 
Pocahontas.  Some  day  they,  or  their 
estates,  will  receive  a  rebate  in  accord- 
ance with  the  value  of  the  coal  actually 
released  to  them.

interest  is  held  by  Theodore  W.  Mar- 
quardt.  Rudolph  Bleski  is  his  associate 
and  the  active  manager.  There  are  three 
and  one-half  houses  mostly  in  roses,  but 
with  a  few  sweet  peas.  The  stock  now 
is  handled  by  the  E.  C.  Amling  Co. 

W.  W.  Barnard  Co.  reports  still  an- 
other embargo.  This  time  it  is  on  ship- 
ments of  sphagnum  moss  from  the  Wis- 
consin swamps.  The  supply  of  moss  in 
this  market  is  extremely  small.  Most 
of  the  dealers  here  bought  early  in  the 
season  and  so  low  that  it  has  been 
difficult  for  them  to  get  delivery  in 
the  face  of  steadily  rising  prices.  The 
result  is  that  the  embargo  threatens  to 
starve  the  market. 

There  are  twice  each  season  when 
everyone  gets  special  pleasure  out  of 
chrysanthemums,  according  to  A.  J. 
Zech.  He  says  the  first  time  the  mums 
give  delight  is  when  they  come;  the 
second  time,  when  they  go.  Christmas 
saw  the  end  except  for  a  few  small  lots. 

John  Poehlmann  believes  the  time  has 
come  when  the  smaller  growers  must 
insist  that  flowers  be  sold  at  prices  in 
accordance  with  present  costs  of  pro- 
duction. 

Frank  M.  Johnson  says  the  last  three 
months  of  1919  have  made  a  wonderful 
record  for  the  A.  L.  Randall  Co.  De- 
cember 20  an  odd  lot  sale  was  held  for 
the  benefit  of  the  local  trade  and  many

eastern  retailers  who  find  the  combina-

Emil  Buettner  frequently  forces  as 
many  as  .30,000  giganteums,  mostly  for 
Easter.  This  year  he  cut  his  order  to 
12,000  bulbs.  'He  has  not  yet  decided 
how  many  will  be  forced  for  Easter. 
He  flowers  them  in  time  if  planted  by 
New  Year's. 

Sam  Pearce  will  cut  his  first  jonquils 
during  the  last  week  of  the  year. 

MacRorie-McLaren's  ericas  were 
everywhere  early  this  week.  Evidently 
they  had  sold  like  hot  cakes,  to  the 
retailers,  because  Christmas  plants  were 
shorter  than  ever  before. 

Poehlmann  Bros.  Co.,  at  the  city  store, 
worked  all  night  December  21  and,  on 
entering  the  orders  in  the  morning, 
found  there  were  more  than  when  they 
started  packing  the  evening  before. 

George  Wienhoeber's  Christmas  win- 
dow was  of  foliage  plants  in  baskets. 
Crotons  were  largely  used. 

A.  E.  Shaw,  of  Springfield,  Mass.,  has 
taken  space  with  George  Reinberg  and 
hung  out  a  shingle,  "Shaw,  the  Fern 
Man."     He  says  he  has  come  to  stay. 

A.  Miller  spent  a  portion  of  last  week 
at  Cleveland  and  Toledo.  He  reported 
the  trade  in  a  high  state  of  activity.

Christmas  trees  were  a  glut,  in  sharp 
contrast  to  nearly  everything  else  any- 
body wanted. 

P.  C.  Schupp  says  the  last  quarter  of 
1919  has  confirmed  his  belief  that  the 
out-of-town    trade    is    worth    the    extra

who  were  in  the  market  December  2'2. 
There  was  not  enough  stock  at  home  to 
meet  the  demand,  so  they  came  to  Chi-

out.    Among  them  were  M.  Kocklin,  of

BOSTON. 


The  Market. 


A  severe  cold  wave  last  week,  with  a 
minimum  temperature  of  6  degrees  be- 
low zero  in  the  city  and  much  lower 
readings  outside,  restricted  trade  con- 
siderably, especially  iu  pot  plants,  but 
the  present  week  opened  with  clear 
skies  and  a  more  balmy  atmosphere. 

Roses  were  in  fairly  good  supply,  but 
made  a  further  advance  during  the 
latter  part  of  last  week.  Special  Amer- 
ican Beauties  were  offered  at  $18  to 
$24  per  dozen  and  $12  was  asked  for 
special  Hadleys.  Columbia,  Russell, 
Premier,  Ophelia,  Crusader,  Pilgrim  and 
other  favorites  sold  at  $15  to  $50. 
Whites  dragged  somewhat,  as  usual, 
but  all  colored  roses  were  in  good  de- 
mand and  short-stemmed  stock  of  the 
more  common  varieties  sold  at  from  $10 
to  $12  per  hundred  upward.  Colored 
carnations  sold  at  $12,  with  a  tendency 
to  rise.  White  carnations  were  a  little 
slower.  Fancy  varieties  like  Laddie 
made  double  the  prices  of  those  quoted. 

Violets  sold  mostly  at  $3.  A  few  were 
asking  $4,  but  it  was  paid  grudgingly. 
8weet  peas  were  in  good  supply  and  of 
fine  quality  at  $3  to  $6  per  hundred. 
Some  nice  Bonnaffon,  Seidewitz  and 
other  late  chrysanthemums  sold  at  $3  to 
$6  per  dozen.  There  were  no  longiflorum 
lilies,  but  a  few  colored  spcciosums 
were  seen.  Callas  were  quickly  sold  at 
$4  to  $5  per  dozen.  Marguerites  were 
in  active  demand  at  $3  to  $6  per  hun- 
dred. Paper  Whites  sold  at  $6  to  $8. 
Stevia  was  rather  overdone  and  moved 
slowly  at  lower  ])riccs. 

There  was  a  good   call    for   such    mis-

The  Rorists'  Review 


December  25,  1919. 


Club  Meeting. 

In  spite  of  severely  cold  weather,  there 
was  a  good  attendance  at  the  meeting 
of  the  Gardeners'  and  Florists'  Club 
December  16.  Seven  new  members  were 
elected.  It  was  voted  to  offer  prizes  of 
$15  and  $10  for  twelve  bunches  of  sweet 
peas,  twenty-five  sprays  of  each,  at  the 
exhibition  of  the  American  Sweet  Pea 
Society  in  Boston  in  July.  It  was  an- 
nounced that  A.  Herrington,  Madison, 
N.  J.,  would  represent  the  club  as  a 
lecturer  at  the  big  union  meeting  of 
agricultural  and  horticultural  societies 
to  be  held  in  Horticultural  hall  Febru- 
ary 20  to  23.  A  recommendation  from 
the  executive  committee  to  hold  a  prize 
exhibition  of  carnations  and  other  sea- 
sonable flowers  preceding  the  annual 
carnation  meeting  February  10  was 
adopted  and  $50  voted  toward  the  prize 
fund.  It  was  voted  not  to  hold  a  regu- 
lar banquet  as  in  previous  years,  but  to 
try  a  buffet  lunch,  entertainment  and 
dance  in  its  stead  February  18. 

The  committee  on  the  flower  show 
appointed  was:  S.  J.  Goddard,  chairman; 
Harold  A.  Ryan,  H.  H.  Bartsch,  Duncan 
Finlayson  and  W.  H.  Golby.  It  was 
unanimously  voted  that  the  club  place 
itself  squarely  in  favor  of  daylight  sav- 
ing for  Massachusetts  in  1920.  It  was 
also  voted  to  send  resolutions  to  the 
Federal  Horticultural  Board  demanding 
a  hearing  for  orchid  men  to  see  if 
arrangements  cannot  be  made  to  remove 
the  embargo  from  their  importation. 
The  name  of  James  F.  M.  Farquhar  was 
proposed  for  honorary  membership  in 
the  club. 

The  annual  election  of  officers  re- 
sulted as  follows:  President,  H.  H. 
Bartsch;  vice-president,  William  H. 
Judd;  secretary,  W.  N.  Craig;  treas- 
urer, S.  J.  Goddard;  executive  commit- 
tee, Andrew  K.  Rogers,  Patrick  W. 
Burke,  Walter  H.  Golby,  John  L.  Rus- 
sell and  John  R.  Ness. 

There  was,  as  usual,  a  fine  lot  of 
exhibits.  William  Sim  showed  twenty 
vases  of  splendid  carnations,  embracing 
the  following  varieties:  Rosette,  Pink 
Delight,  White  Delight,  Benora,  White 
Benora,  Laddie,  Aviator,  Matchless, 
Harold,  Rosalia,  Nancy,  Belle  Wash- 
burn, Ethel  Fisher,  Enchantress  Su- 
preme and  a  number  of  seedlings,  in- 
cluding Kiltie  (variegated),  Gay  Gor- 
don, No.  5,  Fairy  and  Romeo.  Gay  Gor- 
.  don  and  Romeo  received  honorable  men- 
tion, and  a  cultural  report  of  merit  was 
awarded  to  the  collection,  one  of  the 
best  ever  staged  here.  Mr.  Sim  stated 
that  all  his  carnations  are  grown  under 
glass  from  start  to  finish,  the  bulk  be- 
ing planted  out  in  May.  He  grows  100,- 
000  of  them  and  has  proved  that  they 
give  far  superior  results  to  field-grown, 
lifted  stock.  They  have  been  grown  in 
the  same  soil  for  three  seasons.  He 
tried  one  house  with  new,  specially  pre- 
pared compost,  but  results  were  not  so 
good  as  in  the  old  soil.  His  soil  is  about 
two  feet  deep  and  has  been  growing 
Buch  crops  as  violets,  tomatoes  and 
sweet  peas  before  carnations  for  some 
eighteen  years.  Many  plants  now  stand 
four  feet  high. 

W.  H.  Golby  showed  Golden  Mistle- 
toe and  Hamburg  Late  White  mums, 
also  a  large  specimen  of  Begonia  Cin- 
cinnati, awarded  honorable  mention. 
W.  N.  Craig  showed  the  tall  form  of 
Stevia  serrata.  E.  B.  Dane  had  pure  cul- 
ture mushrooms.  James  Wheeler  had  a 
nice  pink  sport  of  Matchless  carna- 
tion.     The    William    F.    Kasting    Co.,

Mr.  Arnold,  of  the  Fess  Rotary  Oil 
Burner  Co.,  gave  a  most  interesting  and 
practical  lecture  on  "Fuel  Oil  Heating 
for  Greenhouses,"  which  was  listened 
to  with  the  closest  attention.  The 
speaker  answered  many  questions  and 
the  subject  evidently  had  been  well 
thought  out  by  a  good  number  of  the 
members,  some  of  whom  expect  to  try 
this  heating  at  an  early  date.  It  was 
announced  that  there  would  be  a  ladies ' 
night  for  the  annual  installation  of 
officers,  the  date  being  January  13.  Mrs. 
"W.  H.  Judd  received  a  hearty  vote  of 
thanks  for  furnishing  the  refreshments. 
It  was  an  unusually  late  hour  when  the 
meeting   ended.

on  sales  of  pot  plants  and  cut  flowers 
and  in  several  stores  plants  were 
frozen.  It  was  fortunate  that  the  cold 
did  not  come  nearer  Christmas,  or  the

more  serious.

plants  and  has  always  marketed  his 
flowers  at  the  Boston  Cooperative  Mar-

John  J.  O'Brien,  of  Beacon  street, 
displayed  a  superb  lot  of  pot  plants  for 
Christmas.  I  noted  several  hundred 
beautifully  fruited  Otaheite  oranges  and 
a  large  batch  of  ardisias.  Some  poin- 
settias  in  large  pans,  six  feet  high  and 
carrying  24-inch  bracts,  were  splendidly 
grown.  Among  other  plants  noted  were 
acacias,  camellias,  azaleas  (some  of 
large  size),  ericas,  magnificent  cycla- 
mens and  many  other  finely  grown 
plants.  Tlic  trade  here  calls  for  high- 
grade  stock,  the  store  being  right  in  the 
exclusive  Back  Bay  section. 

A.  C.  Johnson,  of  Woburn,  is  cutting

Carnations,  wliich  have  by  no  means

it  looks  at  this  time  as  if  the  reds, 
which  are  so  much  in  demand  for  Christ-

scarcity  and  the  prohibitive  price  asked

The  William  W.  Edgar  Co.  had  a 
splendid  Cliristmas  trade  and  was 
cleaned  out  of  almost  everything  sal- 
able. Among  other  varieties  this  firm 
had  fine  batches  of  Euphorbia  jacqinia;- 
flnra  and  Frecsia  Purity. 

Jamcis  Wheeler,  of  Natick,  has  gone 
in  for  \jrodfrey  callas  heavily  this  sea- 
son and,  judging  from  the  way  he 
flowered  them  last  season,  they  should 
prove  a  paying  crop.

fallen  off  in  j)ro{)orti()ii.  There  is  one 
point,  however,  to  he  noted;  what  stock 
is  coming  to  the  market  these  days  is 
mostly  of  gooil  quality.  Koses  are  ex- 
ceptionally fine;  the  stems  are  long  and 
stiff  and  the  foliage  good  and  clean. 
Carnations,  wliich  have  by  no  means 
struck  their  gait,  are  of  splendid  quality. 
It  looks  at  this  time  as  if  the  reds, 
which  are  so  much  in  demand  for  Christ- 
mas, will  not  be  much  used,  owing  to  the 
scarcity  and  the  prohibitive  price  asked 
for  them.  Sweet  peas  are  still  scarce 
and  are  cleaned  up  each  day.  Local 
violets  were  scarce. 

There  was  a  fair  supply  of  all  miscel-

making  up  baskets.  Many  crotons  and 
4-inch  ferns  were  sold.  There  were 
more  made-up  baskets  and  boxes  this 
year  than  ever  lief  ore.  These  were 
made  up  to  sell  at  all  prices  and  there 
were  more  to  sell  at  popular  prices  than 
had  ever  been  known  before. 

Don't  you  think  it  is  about  time  for 
us  to  stop  talking  high  prices  and  pay 
more  attention  to  production?  It  seems 
strange  to  nie  to  hear  people  complain- 
ing of  high  prices  in  one  breath  and 
in  the  next  fretting  because  they  cannot 
get  stock  at  any  price. 

Various  Notes. 

Erdman  &  T'lrich  liad  a  fine  lot  of 
cyclamens  again  this  year,  also  prim- 
roses and  flowering  begonias,  and  had 
no  trouble  in  cleaning  up  on  everything 
they  had.  Anything  in  bloom  sold  this 
year;  if  it  could  not  be  sold  a.s  a  single 
plant  it  could  be  used  in  baskets. 

James  Glass  had  a  fine  batch  of  pep- 
pers and  poinsettias,  the  latter  both  in 
pans  and  for  cut  stock. 

Fred  Bauer  had  a  nice  assortment  of 
blooming  plants  this  year.  His  peppers, 
cherries  and  begonias  were  exceptionally 
fine. 

Lohr  &  Fritze  had  just  their  regular 
cut.  They  do  not  believe  in  forcing 
much  for  Christmas.  Their  idea  is  to 
have  a  good  regular  cut.  There  may 
be  wisdom  in  this,  for  when  everyone 
is  timing  a  crop  for  a  given  date,  stock 
naturally  is  scarce  for  a  period  before 
that  time  and  scarcity,  we  all  know, 
makes  good  prices,  and  so  they  have  the 
advantage  of  a  good  average  price  to- 
gether with  an  average  supply.  Their 
Double  White  Killarney  is  especially 
fine  just  now.

PHILADELPHIA. 


The  Market. 

Last  week  was  rcriiiirkahlc.  Tiic  ques- 
tion at  the  close  of  business  Saturday, 
December  20,  was,  "Can  we  get  the 
flowers  to  fill  the  orders?"  "Whereas 
the  question  on  the  ])rovious  Saturday 
had  been.  "Can  we  get  the  orders  for 
all  the  flowers?" 

The  weather  had  ii  great  deal  to  do 
with  this  change  in  the  situation.  It 
was  58  degrees  Falirenheit  December  13; 
it  was  zero  December  IS,  followed  by  a 
snow  storm  with  high  winds.  This  early 
winter  weather  cut  down  the  supply  and 
increased  the  size  of  the  advance  orders, 
buyers  being  afraid  their  later  orders 
might  be  cut  or  canceled. 

The  market  was  in  good  shape  all 
week.  Prices  steadily  advanced.  The 
principal  trading  was  in  roses.  The 
short  and  medium  grades  were  active; 
the  fancy  grades  were  dull.  Carnations 
advanced  farther,  or  perhaps  it  would 
be  more  accurate  to  say  that  the  ad- 
vance of  a  week  earlier  became  an  es-

tal)lishod  fact.     Carnations  continued  to 
bring  a  higher  price  than  short  roses. 

The  recei])ts  were  not  heavy.  Paper 
Whites  jumped  from  $4  to  $6.  There 
was  no  demand  for  them  during  the

tlu'v  were  in  active  demand.  The  supply 
was  light.  There  was  much  activity  in 
jioinsettias,  mostly  in  advance  orders  for 
Christmas.  Indications  last  week  were 
that  Monday,  December  22,  would  be 
the  big  shipping  day.  It  looked  as 
though  the  market  would  be  so  com- 
jdetely  stri])ped  of  everything  worth 
liaving  on  that  day  that  flowers  would 
not  become  plentiful  again  before  next

The  Dinner  at  Kugler's. 

The  banquet  room  at  Kugler's  pre-

evening,  December  23.  It  was  the  occa- 
sion of  the  annual  dinner  given  by  H. 
Bayersdorfer  &  Co.  to  their  entire  force. 
Everybody  was  asked  and  there  were 
mighty  few  regrets.  This  Christmas 
party  is  extremely  popular.  The  aflfair 
was  arranged  by  Sydney  H.  Bayersdor- 
fer, who  gave  every  detail  his  personal 
attention,  aiming  that  everyone  should 
have  a  good  time.  Promptly  at  seven 
the  guests  sat  down  to  dinner.  The 
long  table  seated  the  firm,  Harry  Bay- 
ersdorfer, Paul  Berkowitz  and  Sydney 
H.  Bayersdorfer;  the  heads  of  the  de- 
partments, nine  in  number,  including  the 
chiefs  from  Telford  and  New  York,  and 
who  all  made   speeches,  and  the  sales-

were  Martin  Reukauf  and  I.  M.  Bayers-

The  other  room  was  filled  with  small 
tables  whereat  were  seated  clerks  and 
stenographers,  counters  and  packers, 
basket  makers  and  painters,  drivers  and 
errand  boys — everybody,  girls  and  boys, 
women  and  men,  who  is  for  the  House 
of  Bayersdorfer,  to  the  number  of  125. 

It  was  a  jolly  party,  full  of  fun.  The 
hit  of  the  evening  was  a  song.  It  was 
about  everybody  who  was  there.  It  was 
sung  by  everybody  who  was  there.  It 
was  composed  by  Stephen  D.  Green,  aid- 
ed by  Sydney  H.  Bayersdorfer.  Stephen 
D.  played  the  accompaniment  to  his  own 


song.  There  was  a  vaudeville  show  and 
everybody  was  sorrv  when  it  was  time 
to  go. 

The  LUy  Situation. 

Alfred  M.  Campbell  is  speaking.  It 
is  about  Japanese  lily  bulbs.  Here  is 
something  worth  hearing.  Come  and 
listen:  ' '  Statistics  show  that  somewhere 
in  the  neighborhood  of  10,000,000  lily 
bulbs  were  imported  annually  into  this 
country  from  Japan  for  several  years 
before  the  war.  The  war  interrupted 
importations,  so  that  there  were  no 
bulbs  last  year.  This  year  the  crop  is 
short.  It  is  thought  that  somewhere 
in  the  neighborhood  of  4,500,000  were 
shipped  to  this  country.  Of  this  num- 
ber 1,000,000  were  lost  at  sea,  leaving 
3,500,000     Japanese     lily     bulbs     that

reached  Seattle  in  safety.  Keen  com- 
petition among  the  importers,  the  short 
crop  and  the  fact  that  the  Japs  learned 
from  our  papers  the  prices  that  lily 
flowers  brought  in  this  country  last 
Easter,  ran  the  prices  up  to  an  un- 
dreamed-of extent.  Bulbs  that  a  few- 
years  ago  brought  an  average  price  of 
$45  per  thousand  are  now  being  sold  at 
$183  per  thousand.  They  would  prob- 
ably have  all  been  sold  at  these  extraor- 
dinary prices  but  for  one  weak  link 
in  the  chain.  The  importers  were  un- 
able to  make  delivery.  True,  the  bulbs 
reached  Seattle  on  time,  but  here  the 
trouble  began.  They  are  shipped  east 
in  refrigerator  cars,  to  avoid  freezing 
in  transit.  There  were  no  refrigerator 
cars  to  be  had.  The  hurry-up  orders 
were  received  to  ship  by  express.  Never 
mind  the  cost — get  them  there.  The 
express  was  held  up.  There  were  rail- 
road strikes.  Finally  the  bulbs  arrived 
in  the  east,  but  not  until  this  month. 
That  is  too  late  according  to  the  old  rule 
for  forcing  green  bulbs  for  an  early 
Easter.  That  rule  called  for  twelve  to 
fourteen  weeks.  While  the  bulbs  were 
still  coming  east  many  of  the  growers, 
alarmed  by  the  coal  strike  and  by  the 
lateness  of  the  bulbs,  canceled  their 
orders.  The  result  is  that,  despite  the 
small  crop,  there  are  a  great  many  bulbs 
in  cold  storage.  Now  that  the  time  for 
starting  for  Easter  has  passed,  the 
price  is  declining.  I  think  that  lilies 
will  be  plentiful  in  Philadelphia  next 
Easter,  because  there  are  several  large 
growers  here  who  got  their  bulbs,  but 
that  they  will  be  scarce,  extremely 
scarce,  nearly  everywhere  else  in  this 
country."

salers to  furnish  the  growers  with  cards 


to  be  filled  out  with  their  prospective 
Christmas  crops.  Sales  are  made  from 
these  cards. 

Franklin  Ely,  of  the  Henry  F.  Michell 
Co.,  says  advance, flower  seed  orders  are 
coming  in  freely. 

Edward  Reid  was  agreeably  surprised 
by  one  of  his  growers  adding  1,500  roses 
to  his  pre-holiday  figures. 

A.  M.  Larson  had  a  crop  of  sweet 
peas  for  Christmas. 

Happy  New  Year!  Phil.

week.  Prices  were  high,  as  follows: 
American  Beauty  roses  from  $9  to  $18 
per  dozen;  roses  such  as  Mock,  Eich- 
mond,  Columbia,  Premier,  Russell,  the 
Killarneys,  Hoosier  Beauty,  Hadley  and 
Ophelia,  were  $25  to  $75  per  hundred; 
carnations  were  $8,  $10  and  $12  per 
luindred;  calendulas,  $4  and  $5  per  hun- 
dred;  poinsettias,  $35  to  $75  per  hun- 
dred; calla  lilies,  $3  and  $4  per  dozen; 
sweet  peas,  $5  and  $6  per  hundred,  and 
stevia,  extra  fine,  $4  per  hundred. 
Roses  and  carnations  have  been  in  fair 
crop,  but  failed  to  meet  the  demand  this 
week. 

There  were  quantities  of  blooming 
plants,  but  not  enough  to  go  around. 
Cyclamens  were  selling  at  from  $2  to 
$4  at  wholesale;  poinsettia  pans,  at  from 
$2  to  $6  per  pan  wholesale;  begonias, 
$1.50  to  $6  each;  primroses,  50  cents  to 


$1,  and  araucarias,  extra  fine,  at  $4  and 
$5  per  hundred. 

Various  Notes. 

The  Gude  Bros.  Co.  was  exceptionally 
busy  last  week  with  some  fine  dinners, 
weddings  and  debutante  parties,  as 
were  many  of  the  other  florists  around 
the  city.  This  firm  is  installing  at  the 
northeast  range  under  one  of  its  large 
boilers  a  water  grate  culm-burning 
apparatus  at  a  cost  of  nearly  $3,000  for 
one  boiler.  If  this  apparatus  does  what 
it  is  said  to  do,  it  will  save  many  thou- 
sand dollars  per  annum.  W.  F.  Gude  is 
still  serving  on  the  grand  jury  and  was 
agreeably  surprised,  at  the  adjournment 
on  the  Friday  before  Christmas,  when 
the  jurors  presented  him  with  a  token 
of  esteem  in  the  shape  of  a  gold  pen- 
knife. 


The  feature  of  the  week  was  "Say 
It  with  Flowers,"  sung  by  Vernon 
Stiles  at  Keith's  theater.  This  was  sung 
at  both  matinee  and  evening  perform- 
ances. Mr,  Stiles  threw  flowers  to  the 
audience  while  singing  ' '  Say  It  with 
Flowers"  and  the  ushers  distributed 
flowers  to  the  patrons  of  the  theater. 
Every  day  about  1,000  flowers  were  used 
in  this  way,  which  was  a  heavy  drain 
on  the  florists,  but  it  was  surely  worth 
the  price.  Not  only  does  Mr.  Stiles  sing 
the  song,  but  he  asks  the  people  to  buy 
flowers  when  language  fails  them.  Fri- 
day evening  at  an  entertainment  of 
about  500  people  at  the  local  Rotary 
Club,  Mr,  Stiles  sang  "Say  It  with 
Flowers."  For  this  occasion  there 
were  prepared  red  roses  with  a  "Say  It 
with  Flowers"  card  attached  to  each 
for  every  lady.    These  were  distributed

as  he  sang.  This  is  surely  effective  ad- 
vertising and  should  be  encouraged  in 
every  city  where  Mr.  Stiles  appears.  It 
is  tiie  biggest  advertisement  yet  and 
costs  little,  comparatively  speaking.  It 
is  to  be  hoped  that  the  trade  in  every 
city  where  Mr.  Stiles  sings  will  lend 
him  every  assistance  possible  by  the 
donation  of  flowers.   He  will  do  the  rest.

The  Market. 

All  early  signs  foretold  a  record- 
breaking  Christmas.  The  opinion  of  re- 
tail merchants  in  general  seemed  to  be  a 
unit  as  to  the  volume  of  business  ex- 
pected. 

Laurel  roping  is  to  be  seen  decorating 
fifty  per  cent  of  the  stores.  Interiors, 
espociallv,  were  unusually  lavish  this 
vcar.  Little  things  like  this  give  the 
people  the  flower-buying  sfnrit  and  few 
things    arc    better    advertising    for    the 

florist. 

("liristiiias  ])rii'es  in  tlie  retail  stores 
were  the  higliest  on  record  in  this  re- 
spect. Tlie  best  American  Beauties 
brought  $:50  per  dozen  and  in  some  in- 
stances even  higher  figures  were  re- 
conlcd.  Fancv  rose  slock  sold  well  and 
brought  from'  $10  to  $1")  ])er  dozen. 
Kxtra  sj.ecial  soM  out  at  $18  to  .$20  per 
<lozen.  Short  roses  were  in  great  demand 
for  corsage  work,  also  the  miniature  va- 
rieties, such  as  Baby  Doll,  Nesbit  and 
Cecile  Brunner.  These  in  combinations 
with  sweet  ])ea.s,  violets  and  baby  prim- 
rose were  prime  favorites  with  flower 
buvers.  Carnations  that  retailed  at  $3 
])er  <lo7.en  one  week  before  Christmas 
were  easily  sold  at  $.'5  to  $6  per  dozen. 

The  scarcity  of  this  stock  was  a  source 
of  great  worry  to  the  commission  men, 
who  could  not  begin  to  fill  their  orders 
with  satisfaction  to  their  customers. 
Calendulas  were  unequal  to  the  demand, 
especially  Orange  King.  Sweet  peas,  a 
scarce  article,  brought  unheard-of  prices 
and  were  of  good  quality.  Violets  have 
been  out  of  this  market  this  winter  so 
far,  but  a  fair  supply  reached  here  from 
the  coast  in  good  condition.

Orchids  and  valley  were  perhaps  the 
rarest  things  of  all;  .$60  for  a  dozen 
cattleyas  seems  .a  lot  of  money,  but  it  is 
j)aid.  Valley  at  $5  to  $6  per  dozen  is 
a  new  high  mark  for  this  flower,  but  this 
price  has  been  standard  for  some  months 
past. 

Holly  was  bringing  $11  per  case  in 
the  market,  but  sold  somewhat  cheaper 
the  last  few  days.  Two  carloads  were 
badly  frozen,  being  twenty-four  hours 
(III  a  siding  during  a  cold  spell. 

Taking  everything  into  consideration, 
the  growers  and  commission  men  were 
well  pleased  as  to  prices  and  volume  of 
business.  The  retailers  all  report  a  heavy 
increase  in  advance  business;  a  great 
factor  tliis  year  has  been  the  telegraph 
delivery.  The  volume  of  business  du6  to 
telegraph  orders  has  been  enormous.

TORONTO,  ONT. 


The  Market. 

The  Christmas  orders  piled  up  last 
week  until  the  florists  began  to  worry 
about  getting  the  large  orders  filled 
and  delivered.  Last  week  the  weather 
was  considerably  below  zero,  some- 
thing unusual  for  Toronto  at  this  time, 
and  the  florists  were  preparing  for  extra 
wrapping  of  the  plants,  but  fortunately 
the  weather  moderated  considerably  and 
relieved  the  fears  of  the  retailers,  who 
saw  extra  delivery  troubles  ahead  of 
them. 

The  florists  who  handled  Christmas 
trees  did  a  big  business.  Prices  ranged 
from  35  cents  to  $6.  There  was  an  ample 
supplv  of  trees,  with  a  big  demand.  A 
charge  of  25  cents  was  usually  made  for 
the  delivery  of  the  tree. 

The  prices  this  Christmas  were  un- 
usually high  and  some  dealers  had  the 
experience  of  having  customers  walk 
out  without  buying,  but  usually  they 
were  persuaded  to  buy  plants,  in  which 
a  great  trade  was  done.  In  some  cases 
plants  were  handled  to  the  exclusion 
of  cut  flowers.

last  week  removed  all  displays  from  all 
windows  along  tiie  different  fronts  and 
filled  the  windows  with  flowers.  The 
effect  of  the  display  on  the  four  streets 
was  especially  striking.  The  window 
displays  of  the  trade  were  fine.  The 
downtown  stores  were  not  alone  in  hav- 
ing Christmas  window  effects.  The 
smaller  dealers  realized  that  the  win- 
dows are  the  eyes  of  the  store  and  be- 
gan to  make  greater  use  of  them  in  at- 
tracting people  into  the  store  and  money 
into  the  cash  register. 

Several  retailers  have  had,  in  addition 
to  window  displays,  tiers  of  shelving  ar- 
ranged to  carry  quantities  of  plants  and 
ferns. 

The  retailers  will  hold  an  oyster  sup- 
per in  January.  The  growers  have  been 
invited  to  it  to  talk  over  matters  for  the 
betterment  of  the  trade. 

In  February  the  Florists'  Club  will 
hold  the  annual  dance.  This  is  one  of 
the  big  events  of  the  year  and  last 
year  it  was  attended  b}'  nearly  500  per- 
sons. A  committee  is  now  looking  for 
a  larger  hall  to  accommodate  the  antici- 
pated crowd  at  this  season's  event. 

The  Canadians  wish  to  extend  best 
wishes  for  a  happy  and  prosperous  new 
year  to  the  friends  in  the  trade  south  of 
the  border.  ,T.  .T.  TT.

Oapltola,  Cal— The  Brown  Bulb 
Banch  has  built  its  business  in  bulbs 
and  seeds  on  the  basis  of  personal  con- 
tact with  its  customers.  Manager  James 
A.  Brown  makes  two  trips  a  year  to  the 
Atlantic  coast  and  says  that  of  the 
concern's  1,400  customers  he  personally 
has  called  on  1,110,  covering  all  the 
states  in  the  Union  except  three. 


LOS  ANGEI^ES,  CAL. 


— ^  The  Market.    -     — 

The  increased  number  of  wholesalers 
apparently  enlarged  the  Christmas  busi- 
ness, for  all  were  busy.  There  was  a 
general  worry  as  to  where  the  stock 
would  come  from  to  fill  the  orders. 
Greens  of  all  kinds  and  the  different 
hollies  were  scarce  and  private  grow- 
ing establishments  were  drawn  on  to 
help  out.  Poinsettia  plants  were  espe- 
cially good  this  year.  Heather  helped 
somewhat  to  fill  in  the  cut  flower  short- 
age. 

Various  Notes. 

George  Allan,  of  Prescott,  Ariz.,  has 
sold  out  his  business  to  A.  W.  Smith 
and  is  at  present  staying  at  Long  Beach. 

The  sympathy  of  his  many  friends  is 
with  C.  W.  Bates,  of  Eagle  Eock,  in  the 
death  of  his  daughter  last  week. 

The  mother  of  George  Eischen  died 
suddenly  last  week  at  South  Bend,  Ind. 
After  the  death  of  her  husband,  Mrs. 
Eischen  went  east  to  Duluth,  Chicago 
and  other  cities,  visiting  friends;  the 
last  word  that  her  sons  and  daughters 
had  from  her  indicated  that  she  was  in 
her  usual  good  health.  Her  body  was 
brought  to  Los  Angeles  by  her  son  and 
the  funeral  services  were  held  Decem- 
ber 16. 

The  death  of  Mrs.  Morton,  which  oc- 
curred at  the  Clara  Barton  hospital  in 
this  city  December  17,  was  a  sad  blow 
to  her  family,  although  expected  for 
some  time.  Mrs.  Morton  was  the  mother 
of  C.  E.  Morton,  of  Phoenix,  Ariz,,  for- 
merly of  Los  Angeles  and  Chicago;  Hu- 
bert Morton,  formerly  of  Long  Beach; 
Will  and  two  sisters.  Her  death  was 
from  cancer  of  the  stomach.  Mrs.  Mor- 
ton was  70  years  of  age  and  was  born 
in  County  Meath,  Ireland.  She  had  been 
a  widow  for  many  years.  The  sympathy 
of  their  many  friends  in  the  trade  will 
be  with  the  bereaved  family,  all  of 
whom  were  most  devoted  to  their 
mother. 

A  fine  specimen  of  the  sago  palm, 
Cycas  revoluta,  has  fruited  in  the  Home 
of  Peace  cemetery,  on  Stephenson  ave- 
nue, where  Oscar  Wuhlenberg  has 
charge.  While  the  flowering  of  the  male 
plants  is  not  unusual,  the  seed-bearing 
ones  seldom  fruit  and  it  is  interesting 
to  watch  the  protective  bracts  fall  back 
from  the  showy,  red  seeds  as  they  de- 
velop. Mr.  Wuhlenberg  has  several 
choice  plants,  the  flowering  of  which  is 
an  event  of  importance. 

J.  Austin  Shaw  asks  me  to  send  his 
Christmas  greetings  to  his  old  friends 
of  The  Keview  and  to  wish  them  all  a 
happy  and  prosperous  New  Year.  He 
says,  "California  is  God's  wonderland, 
but  there's  only  one  New  York."     His 


home  is  still  in  Hollywood,  a  place  he 
much  likes.  H.  E.  Richards. 


SAN  FRANCISCO. 


'     The  Market. 

Wholesalers  and  shippers  have  been 
facing  a  real  problem  this  month  in  re- 
gard to  meeting  the  demand  for  cut 
flowers,  particularly  violets  and  carna- 
tions, with  a  stock  which  is  far  too 
small.  Recent  weather  conditions  have 
resulted  in  considerable  damage  to  the 
local  violet  crop.  There  were  several 
days  of  extremely  cold  wind,  followed 
by  a  rain  none  too  warm  for  growing 
purposes  and  finally  by  an  unusually 
severe  frost,  which  laid  its  damaging 
finger  on  practically  all  outdoor  stock. 
For  this  reason,  shippers  in  San  Fran- 
cisco have  been  forced  to  cut  nearly  all 
present  violet  orders  and  it  is  probable 
that  this  condition  will  exist  until  after 
the  holidays.  Carnations,  too,  are  badly 
wanted  in  the  east  and  for  the  present 
it  is  impossible  to  ship  full  orders. 


In  fact,  there  is  a  noticeable  scarcity 
of  all  kinds  of  cut  flowers  with  the  ex- 
ception of  roses.  This  season's  rose 
crop  is  said  to  be  particularly  fine,  of 
a  quantity  and  quality  that  have  not 
been  seen  for  a  good  many  years."  Be- 
cause of  this  it  has  not  been  difficult  to 
get  the  prices  which  have  been  made 
necessary  by  various  conditions  arising 
in  the  trade.  The  principal  cuts 
have  been  of  Russell,  Ophelia  and  Co- 
lumbia, with  a  fair  amount  of  Shawyer 
and  reds;  the  last  mentioned  were  in 
fine  condition  for  Christmas  week. 
American  Beauties,  while  scarce  and 
high  last  week,  are  more  plentiful,  al- 
though no  lower  in  price.  Orchids 
have  been  hard  to  get  hold  of.  The 
gardenia  crop  is  a  little  off  in  quality 
just  now.  A  few  large  blooms  were 
seen  in  one  or  two  shops  last  week,  but 
the  majority  of  the  stock  is  undersized. 

The  scarcity  also  extends  to  potted 
stock  of  all  kinds,  particularly  cycla- 
mens, begonias,  azaleas,  etc.  The  prices 
on  these  are   a  great   deal  higher  this

year  than  last.  Good  azalea  plants  are 
bringing  a  retail  price  of  from  $10  to 
$15  each,  while  the  smaller  plants  and 
those  of  different  varieties  are  cor- 
respondingly high. 

Local  florists  have  been  disappointed 
in  regard  to  English  holly  from  the 
northwest.  A  crop  which,  a  few  weeks 
ago,  gave  every  evidence  of  abundance 
was  almost  ruined  by  frosts,  so  that  the 
shortage  of  holly  was  severely  felt  in 
San  Francisco.

dinner  party  which  was  given  at  the 
Hotel  St.  Francis  in  honor  of  the  tenth 
wedding  anniversary  of  Thomas  Pierce, 
head  auditor  for  the  hotel.  The  table 
was  laid  for  twenty-four  covers,  with 
the  pink  and  blue  tones  predominating 
in  the  centerpiece. 

C.  A.  Stappenbeck,  of  the  American 
Florist 's  store,  on  Polk  street,  put  in 
an  enlarged  stock  of  favors,  novelties, 
etc.,  for  the  Christmas  trade.  The  roses 
which  were  grown  j>articularly  for  this 
tirm  arrived  in  fine  condition.  Mr.  Stap- 
penbeck expected  to  have  j)lenty  of 
potted  jiiants,  in  aildition  to  his  large 
cut  flower  stock. 

All  of  the  florists  reported  u  large 
amount  of  funeral  work  last  week, 
which  ke]it  the  business  up  to  tlie  mark 
(hiring  tlie  period  of  Christmas  shopping. 

A.  O.  Stein  had  much  funeral  work 
during  the  early  jiart  of  last  week. 
Omar  Kiiayyani,  the  highly  and  right- 
fully treasured  Persian  tabby  belong- 
ing to  Mr.  Stein,  is  the  proud  j)OSsessor 
of  a  blue  ribbon  won  at  the  cat  show 
which  was  held  December  12  and  33  at 
the  Palace  hotel. 

A  fine  display  of  azalea  plants  was 
seen  at  the  store  of  Pelicano,  Rossi  & 
Co.  last  week.  Mr.  Keegan  stated  that, 
in  spite  of  the  high  price,  they  were 
going  fast. 

B.  M.  .Joseph  states  that  he  notices 
a  larger  F.  T.  D.  business  than  usual 
this  year  and  he  attributes  a  good  part 
of  it,  as  far  as  he  is  concerned,  to  local 
daily  paper  advertisements,  which  he  is 
jdacing  twice  weekly,  informing  pa- 
trons of  the  merits  of  the  telegraph 
service  in  remembering  eastern  friends

Julius  Eppstein,  the  St.  Francis  hotel 
florist,  has  opened  a  temporary  shop  in 
the  St.  Francis  hotel  building,  in  ad- 
dition to  his  regular  stand  in  the  main 
corridor  of  the  hotel.  The  new  store 
can  be  entered  either  from  Powell  street 
or  from  the  corridor  of  the  hotel  and  is 
stocked  with  a  complete  selection  of  both 
cut  and  potted  flowers  and  ferns.  Mr. 
Eppstein  decorated  the  hotel  for  Clirist- 
mas  week,  using  garlands,  wreaths, 
holly,  etc.,  throughout  the  lobby,  dining 
rooms  and  corridors.  Miss  Crosswaithe 
states  that  she  had  no  trouble  what- 
ever in  selling  all  the  orchids  procurable 
at  $2  each.  Recently  she  made  a  number 
of  sales  of  a  half-dozen  or  dozen  blooms 
to  a  single  customer.

materials  used  are  the  natural  redwood 
bark,  pine  cones  and  rustic  twigs,  which

several  months,  in  order  to  have  a  suffi- 
cient supply  on  hand  for  the  holidays, 
and  is  now  rewarded  for  his  work  by  the 
popularity  of  the  idea  and  the  many  ex- 
pressions of  appreciation  of  the  orig- 
inality displayed  in  the  designs. 

The  nursery  stock  of  the  MacKorie- 
McLaren  Co.  was  about  depleted  in  the 
way  of  potted  plants  for  the  Christ- 
mas trade.  Due  to  the  lateness  of  the 
heather,  there  was  more  of  this  on  hand, 
but  eastern  shipments  were  fast  clear- 
ing out  the  potted  heather,  Fred  Ber- 
tram, manager  of  the  Powell  street 
store,  states  that  there  will  be  a  cut 
of  heather  a  little  later,  both  for  local 
consumption  and  for  eastern  shipping. 
The  nursery  at  San  Mateo  was  entered 
by  burglars  on  December  16  and  was 
robbed  of  plants  and  flowers  valued  at 

^     about   $150.     As   yet   no   trace    of   the 
/   thieves  has  been  found. 

,J\  Mr.  Enomoto,  of  Enomoto  &  Co., 
states  that  the  shortage  of  flowers 
brought  on  by  the  recent  cold  weather 
made  it  difficult  to  supply  the  constantly 
growing    eastern    orders  M.  M. 


SEATTLE,  WASH. 


The  Market. 

The  sale  of  cut  flowers  dropped  off 
considerably  last  week,  although  the  de- 
mand for  funeral  flowers,  the  many 
Christmas  decorations  and  the  prepara- 
tions for  the  holiday  trade  kept  all  hands 
busy,  including  the  extra  help.  Stock 
was  so  plentiful  last  week  that  it  was 
not  likely  that  there  would  be  a  scarcity 
this  week;  a  shortage  of  roses  would  be 
made  up  from  the  heavy  California  ship- 
ments. All  potted  stock  was  high;  cy- 
clamens of  good  quality  seldom  brought 
less  than  $2.50  wholesale. 

Betailers  Meet. 

At  the  special  meeting  of  the  Seattle 
Retail  Florists'  Association  November 
18  W.  H.  Paulhamus,  president  of  the 
fair  association,  spoke  to  the  members 
on  advertising  through  displays  at  the 
Puyallup  fair,  which  takes  place  during 
the  month  of  October.  At  this  meeting 
a  committee  was  appointed  to  investi- 
gate and  decide  on  what  type  of  build- 
ing should  be  erected  on  the  fair  grounds 
for  the  use  of  the  florists.  The  fair  as- 
sociation is  willing  to  meet  the  whole 
cost  of  erecting  such  a  building  as  may 
be  chosen  by  this  committee,  which  is 
composed  as  follows:  Mr.  Clark,  P.  F. 
Rosaia,  H.  A.  Crouch,  Mr.  Hulmes  and 
George  Antoney.  At  the  last  meeting 
of  the  association,  the  chief  topic  of  dis- 
cussion was  pool  advertising.  A  good 
suggestion  offered  by  P.'F.  Rosaia  was 
that  of  advertising  collectively  every 
week  in  the  leading  paper  in  the  form 
of  a  story  about  a  particular  flower,  tak- 
ing a  different  flower  each  week.  In 
that  way  people  could  be  taught  the 
meaning  of  the  names  of  different  flow- 
ers and  thus  could  be  more  easily  per- 
suaded to  "Say  It  with  Flowers." 

Various  Notes. 

Stuber  &  Richardson  have  had  a  heavy 
cut  of  Maud  Dean,  Chadwick,  Golden 
Chadwick  and  Marigold  mums.  They 
have  also  been  cutting  carnations,  at

richness  of  color  and  clean  foliage.  A 
fine  display  of  orchids  and  gardenias 
was  to  be  seen  at  their  store  last  week; 
many  of  these  flowers  were  ordered  for 
Christmas  delivery.  They  were  also 
wholesaling  poinsettias,  cyclamens,  pri- 
mulas and  other  potted  plants;  their 
poinsettias  and  cyclamens  were  in  espe- 
cially fine  condition.  This  firm  had  an 
attractive  Christmas  decoration  for  the 
T.  S.  Graham  Co.  The  tops  of  the  store's 
pillars  were  encircled  by  wreaths  of  red 
frieze,  from  which  hung  streamers  of 
cedar  roping  caught  up  under  the  lights 
and  fastened  with  large  red  cones  and 
poinsettias.  Baskets  of  holly  and  trees 
of  red  ruscus,  wreaths  of  red  frieze,

The  Florists^  Review 


Dbcember  25,  1919 


LOWELL,  MASS. 


The  Maxket. 

There  are  still  a  few  nrnms  to  be  had, 
chiefly  such  varieties  as  Bonnaifon  and 
Seidewitz,  in  small  blooms,  and  also  baby 
pompons. 

Potted  plants  moved  so  well  that  it 
seemed  scarcely  likely  there  would  be 
sufficient  to  meet  the  demand  expected, 
for  they  were  not  plentiful.  Ordinary 
grades  of  carnations  are  being  quoted 
by  the  wholesalers  at  $10  per  hundred, 
while  for  red  varieties  $20  to  $25  is 
being  asked. 


No  azaleas  have  been  seen  or  heard 
of  and  it  appears  to  be  generally  con- 
sidered that  the  cyclamen  will  be  the 
Christmas  favorite  from  now  on.  Judg- 
ing by  the  beautiful  and  shapely  speci- 
mens grown  in  Massachusetts,  they  will 
easily  hold  a  first-rank  position. 

Various  Notes. 

Kenny,  Florist,  185  Central  street,  last 
week  had  a  dainty  arrangement  in  his 
show  window,  consisting  of  coleus,  red 
begonias,  cyclamens  and  baskets  of  foli- 
age, red  berries,  etc. 

James  J.  McManmon  visited  Boston 


December  10,  looking  for  implements  for 
his  farm  and  buying  holly.  This  firm 
was  in  good  shape  for  Christmas  trade, 
being  well  supplied  with  all  kinds  of 
potted  plants,  including  a  splendid 
batch  of  cyclamens  and  a  good  crop  of 
carnations. 

C.  Eobinson,  of  the  H.  M.  Robinson 
Co.,  was  optimistic  regarding  the  prices 
stock  would  bring  for  Christmas  and 
regarding  the  amount  of  business,  say- 
ing that  people  would  readily  pay  the 
higher  prices.  E.  E.  R.

The  Market. 

Stock  was  decidedly  scarce  last  week 
and  prices  were  extortionate.  Roses 
•were  in  short  supply  and  ranged  from 
$6  to  $:i5  per  hundred.  The  former 
were  unusually  short-stemmed.  Red 
roses  were  almost  out  of  the  question. 
Carnations  were  scarce  in  all  colors  and 
sold  readily  at  from  $8  to  $15  per  hun- 
dred. Red  ones  were  held  almost  at  a 
premium. 

Cut  poinsettias  were  in  excellent  de- 
mand, selling  at  $2  and  up  per  dozen. 
These  were  of  good  quality  and,  al- 
though in  fair  quantity,  were  inade- 
quate for  the  demand.  On  account  of 
the  closeness  of  the  market,  all  stock 
showing  color  was  eagerly  sought.  Poin- 
settias are  always  the  leader  of  the  mar- 
ket and  attractive  pots  and  pans  of  it 
were  offered  at  35  to  50  cents  per  bud 
and  bloom. 

Cut  narcissi,  in  limited  supply,  could 
be  obtained.  Calendulas  were  attract- 
ive in  various  displays,  but  were  not 
seen  in  abundance.  Violets  were  in  de- 
mand, but,  like  almost  everything  else, 
were  hard  to  procure.  Sweet  peas  sold 
at  $2  per  hundred.  Calla  lilies  at  $2  per 
dozen  were  in  good  demand  for  funeral 
work  in  order  to  save  other  cut  stock. 
Stevia  was  snapped  up  upon  appearance. 

Potted  plants  were  fine  property. 
Cyclamens  were  good  at  from  $1.50  to 
$3.  .Jerusalem  cherries  were  in  fair 
supply  and  moved  readily.  Other  potted 
plants  included  primroses,  begonias  and 
ferns.  Christmas  greens,  although  high- 
er in  price  than  ever  before,  sold  well.

NATIONAL  PUBLICITY  CAMPAIGN. 


Advertising  for  Cliristmas. 

The  florists  throughout  the  land  have 
probably  without  exception  in  the  last 
few  days  been,  to  use  a  common  expres- 
sion, doing  a  ' '  land-oflSce  business. ' '  The 
magazine  advertising  of  our  publicity 
campaign  was  timely  for  this  season  and 
was  calculated  to  arouse  interest  in 
flowers  and  plants  as  Christmas  gifts. 

A  page  carrying  a  beautiful  group  of 
flowers,  painted  from  nature  and  repro- 
duced in  actual  colors,  appeared  in 
World's  Work,  Munsey's,  Eeview  of  Re- 
views, Scribner's,  Atlantic  Monthly, 
Century  and  Harper's.  A  well  arranged 
panel  of  text  conveyed  the  message: 

"For  the  Christmas  and  New  Year 
greetings  let  the  heart  speak  through 
flowers.  Radiantly  lovely  and  alive 
with  the  holiday  spirit,  they  convey 
every  thought  and  sentiment  with  a 
sweetness  surpassing  mere  words." 

In  the  Metropolitan  for  December  was 
a  whole  page  advertisement  in  colors 
and  located  facing  a  solid  page  of  edito-

WHAT  THE  LEADERS  IN  THE  TRADE  ARE  DOING 


nSH   riLL   FLORIST'S  TILL. 


Helping  the  Hobbies  at  Home. 

More  and  more  florists  are  realizing 
that  goldfish  kept  in  the  home,  partic- 
ularly the  home  where  there  are  chil- 
dren, are  a  never  failing  source  of 
pleasure  and  an  inspiration  to  nature 
study,  and  that  consequently  the  de- 
mand for  them  is  sure  to  increase  as 
their  value  is  more  generally  ap- 
preciated. It  is  but  natural  that  the 
seller  of  plants  and  flowers  for  the 
home  should  also  be  able  to  provide 
fish  and  aquaria.  Goldfish  have,  too,  a 
commercial  value  as  side  exhibits  in 
stores  and  as  parts  of  elaborate  decora- 
tive designs.  An  example  of  the  lat- 
ter use  was  described  in  The  Review 
for  August  14,  in  connection  with  an 
illustration  of  a  dinner  decoration  de- 
signed by  Albert  Pochelon.  It  showed 
a  table  encircling  a  tank  sixteen  feet 
in  diameter,  containing  500  fish,  to- 
gether with  a  lighting  display  and  other 
decorative  features.  But  such  demands 
are  usually  met  by  the  fish  raiser  or 
perhaps,  as  in  this  case,  by  a  loan  from 
the  city  aquarium.  The  fish-keeping 
florist  caters  above  all  to  the  home  de- 
mand. 

No  Gold  In  Small  Goldfisb. 

While  there  is  no  great  profit  in  the 
common,  small  goldfish,  there  is  enough 
to  pay  for  handling  them.  The  smallness 
of  the  profit  is  due  to  the  fact  that  5 
and  10-cent  stores  sell  this  kind  for  10 
cents  each,  making  it  impossible  in 
some  loaalities  for  florists  to  sell  such 
fish  for  more  than  15  or  20  cents,  or  per- 
haps 25  cents  in  the  case  of  especially 
large  and  fine  fish.  At  15  or  20  cents 
there  is  a  profit  of  from  5  to  8  cents  per 
fish,  where  one  has  to  buy  the  fish  in 
the  first  place.  If  one  can  raise  his  own 
fish,  there  is  a  little  more  profit,  but  also 
much  more  work. 

The  real  profit  in  goldfish  is  in  the 
fancy  kinds,  such  as  the  fan  tails, 
nymphs,  telescopes,  ribbon  tails,  comet 
tails,  lion  heads,  etc.  These  bring  ex- 
cellent prices,  sometimes  with  a  profit 
of  $1  per  fish,  though  of  course  such 
sales  are  comparatively  few. 

Fish  That  Are  Fish  Hooks. 

One  florist,  Charles  Trauth,  Newark, 
N.  J.,  installed  a  tank  with  goldfish  in 
his  store  a  few  years  ago,  principally 
for  his  own  pleasure  in  watching  and 
caring  for  tlicm,  but  he  has  since  de- 
veloped a  considerable  business  in  them. 
During  the  fall  he  sells  about  500  fish  a 
week;  during  the  rest  of  the  year  the 
number  sold  weekly  falls  somewhat 
short  of  this,  even  as  low  as  200  a  month 
in  the  summer  dull  season,  but  still  the 
returns  are  enough  to  pay  well  for  the 
comparatively  small  time  it  takes  to 
care  for  the  fish.  He  finds  that  where 
fancy  varieties  of  goldfish  are  kept, 
some  people  will  come  in  regularly  for 
them,  sometimes  as  often  as  once  a 
week.    Their  drawing  power  is  so  great 


that  he  calls  them  "fish  hooks."  A 
good  profit  is  also  to  be  found  in  the 
sale  of  fish  globes,  fish  food,  water 
plants,  snails,  polliwogs,  etc. 

Give  Him  Air — or  Oxygen. 

One  important  problem  to  be  consid- 
ered in  the  care  of  fish  in  a  small  aqua- 
rium is  the  supply  of  air  or  of  oxygen 
for  the  fish.  This  may  be  solved  either 
by  putting  in  the  aquarium  plants  which 
will  generate  oxygen  or  by  some  me- 
chanical means  for  aerating  the  water. 
The  Eeview  printed  July  31  a  list  of 
thirty  plants  suitable  for  aquaria  and 
referred  to  the  way  in  which  the  oxy- 
gen given  off  by  the  plants  was  utilized 
by  the  fish,  which  in  turn  exhaled  car- 
bon dioxide,  a  plant  necessity.     When

the  proper  plants  are  provided,  fish  will 
live  even  in  tightly  covered  aquaria. 
But  some  people  may  think  the  attrac- 
tiveness of  water  in  motion  a  sufficient 
reason  for  using  the  mechanical  method. 
One  example  of  this  is  provided  in  Mr. 
Trauth 's  aquarium,  which  is  a  glass 
tank  about  three  and  a  half  feet  long 
by  two  and  a  half  feet  wide  and  twenty 
inches  deep;  the  bottom  of  the  tank 
is  covered  with  pebbles  and  the  water, 
which  is  about  a  foot  deep,  contains 
water-weeds.  Water  is  supplied  to  the 
tank  by  a  pipe  that  runs  underneath 
and  up  through  the  center  to  a  point 
about  ten  inches  above  the  surface  of 
the  water.  Two  arms  about  eight  inches 
long  run  off  from  the  main  pipe.  When 
the  water  is  turned  on,  it  spurts  down 
from  these  two  arms  with  considerable 
force  into  each  end  of  the  tank.  The 
force  of  the  falling  water  creates  many 
bubbles,  which  are  forced  beneath  the 
surface  of  the  water,  thus  aerating  it. 
The  water  can  be  drained  off,  when  de- 
sired, by  a  small  pipe  from  the  bottom 
of  the  tank.     When  this  method  of  me- 


chanical aeration  is  not  used,  it  is  well 
occasionally  to  take  out  a  cupful  or 
dipperful  of  water  and  pour  it  back 
from  a  height  of  about  ten  inches,  re- 
peating this  several  times. 

Snails,  Bass  and  Polliwogs. 

The  tank  need  be  cleaned  thoroughly 
only  once  a  year.  If  snails  are  kept  in  / 
it,  they  will  eat  off  the  green  growth 
that  forms  on  the  pebbles  and  the  sides  1 
of  the  tank.  Since  those  who  keep  fish 
in  their  homes  occasionally  ask  •  for 
snails  for  this  purpose,  it  is  well  to  keep 
some  on  hand  for  sale.  They  can  be 
bought  for  a  nominal  sum  from  those 
who  catch  them  and  sold  for  about  10 
cents  apiece.  Small  rock  bass  may  also 
be  sold  for  10  cents  apiece  and  make  a 
pleasing  variety  with  goldfish  in  a  large 
glass  globe. 

In  their  season  polliwogs  are  in  great 
demand.  They  cost  wholesale  $1  per 
hundred  and  sell  readily  for  10  cents 
each.  Those  which  Mr.  Trauth  pur- 
chases are  raised  on  a  New  Jersey  farm 
which  makes  a  specialty  of  raising  large 
green  frogs  for  frogs'  legs,  which  are 
sold  to  hotels.  The  ordinary  polliwog 
develops  his  legs  in  a  few  weeks'  time, 
but  this  special  kind  remains  a  polliwog 
for  nearly  a  year.  When  this  is  ex- 
plained to  prospective  customers,  a  sale 
quickly  follows. 

Fish  for  Pleasure  and  Profit. 

The  fish  which  Mr.  Trauth  raises 
himself  are  bred  in  tanks  in  his  back 
yard.  For  ten  days  after  they  are 
hatched  they  eat  no  food.  Then  they 
must  live  on  live  food,  which  is  pro- 
vided in  the  form  of  small  insects  which 
are  caught  by  the  thousand  in  the  marsh 
meadows  near  the  city  by  means  of 
small  nets  made  of  cheesecloth.  When 
the  fish  are  older,  the  prepared  fish  food 
is  sufficient  for  them. 

Some  florists  think  that  the  keeping 
of  goldfish  lowers  the  tone  of  the  store, 
but  that  certainly  need  not  be  true  if 
the  fish  are  kept  in  first-class  condition 
in  a  clean,  artistically  arranged  aqua- 
rium. And  they  act  as  a  drawing-card 
for  many  customers,  besides  providing 
pleasure  and  real  profit  to  the  florist 
who  keeps  them.  K.  B.  M. 


DRUGGISTS  EYE  FLOWER  TRADE. 

Perhaps  the  popularity  of  the  slogan 
has  aroused  their  minds,  or  perhaps  they 
think  the  florists'  trade  is  enviably  pros- 
perous; at  any  rate,  druggists  see  some- 
thing in  the  flower  business  that  arouses 
their  business  thoughts.  An  article  on 
"The  Druggist  as  the  Florist's  Agent" 
in  The  Druggist  occupies  three  columns. 
The  following  paragraphs  from  it  will 
interest  florists: 

Flowers  are  dainty  things.  A  drugman  ought 
to  carry  only  dainties,  you  know.  At  any  rat», 
that  U  what  most  of  us  hare  been  educated  to. 

I  know  one  druggist  who  took  on  a  florist's 
agency  three  years  ago.  He  has  developed  a 
business  which  pays  him  good  money.  It  is  la 
a  town  outside  of  Detroit  where  fresh  flowers 
used  to  be  bard  to  get  bold  of.

in  winter  time.  He  sells  lots  of  flowers  of  for- 
eign growth  at  all  times.  One  of  bla  front  win* 
dows  he  keeps  continually  trimmed  with  cut 
flowers. 

There's  good  profit  In  selling  cut  flowers  and 
no  Investment.  You  simply  act  as  agent  for  K 
reliable  florist — take  orders  and  mall,  wire  or 
phoue  them  in — the  commission  is  all  yelvet. 

Cut  flowers  fit  in  well  with  the  drug  store, 
just  the  same.  They  are  dainty  enough  to  do  it. 
If  they  weighed  several  tons  and  were  coarse, 
they  might  not  harmonize  so  nicely  with  th« 
drug  business.  Another  thing  Is,  if  a  druggist 
naturally  deals  out  perfumes,  they  are  mad* 
from  flowers. 

Another  way  to  view  it  is,  you  can  tramp  for 
miles  and  miles  in  'most  any  city  v^thout  coming 
upon  a  florist;  but  you  won't  tramp  very  far 
and  not  run  against  the  green  and  red  signs  of 
a  drug  store.  One  reason,  I  believe,  why  more 
people  do  not  buy  more  cut  flowers  Is  because 
they  are  so  unhandy  to  get. 

People  usually  have  to  glim  a  sight  real  often 
to  get  enamored  of  it.  They  don't  see  cut  flow- 
ers very  often.  They  would  run  against  the 
good  sight  did  our  drug  stores  carry  cut  flowers. 

Folks  call  on  the  florist  for  cut  flowers  alone, 
mostly.  They  have  to  make  a  special  trip  to 
the  florist.  They  don't  often  do  so,  either.  Not 
enough  of  them  do  it,  at  any  rate.  Let  the 
drugman  put  in  cut  flowers,  then.  People  have 
to  come,  anyhow,  to  his  store.  The  druggist 
will  sell  many,  many  flowers  to  folks  who  didn't 
think  before  they  wanted  flowers.  Flowers  will 
soon  become  a  more  usual  vision  to  them.  As  it 
is  now,  flowers  are  something  out  of  the  ordi- 
nary to  most  folks. 

Young  chaps  In  love  generally  make  the  best 
flower  customers.  Bit  them,  then,  at  a  time  they 
are  after  a  smoke  in  the  store.  Speak  to  them 
with  flowers.  Make  flowers  more  common.  You 
can  readily  get  your  hooks  Into  these  young  peo- 
ple if  you  show  them  flowers  in  the  store.  They 
feel  a  mite  backward  about  entering  a  florist's 
shop,   for  the  florist  sells  only  things  flowerllke. 

Ix>ts  of  folks  buy  cut  flowers  and  lots  more 
would  do  it  were  they  easier  to  get — without 
tramping  the  town  half  over  for  a  florist's  shop. 

The  very  same  kind  of  people  who  visit  the 
florist's  also  visit  the  drug  store.  You  have  a 
better  chance  to  get  your  hooka  into  their  gills 
than  has  the  florist. 


ANOTHER  PENN  PBODUOT. 

The  design  shown  in  the  accompany- 
ing illustration  is  a  good  exemplification 
of  the  individual  treatment  in  funeral 
work,  that  new  notion  of  using  some  cir- 
cumstance in  the  career  of  the  decedent 
as  the  motif  of  the  piece.  In  this  case 
the  deceased  was  a  member  of  the  civil 
service  commission  of  Massadhusetts 
and  the  floral  tribute  was  from  the  em- 
ployees of  his  department.  The  designer 
at  Penn's,  Boston,  chose  the  state  seal 
of  Massachusetts  for  floral  representa- 
tion. The  plaque  was  made  of  Killarney 
Brilliant  roses  and  sago  palms.  The 
"seal"  was  formed  of  blue  and  yellow 
Immortelles,  with  the  "Indian"  in  red 
and  yellow,  white  carnations  serving  as 
the  background. 


FLOOR    AIDS    WINDOW    DISPLAY. 


Special  Coverings  Easy  and  Cheap. 

Retailers  who  devote  much  care  to 
their  window  displays — and  most  re- 
tailers do  nowadays — have  come  to  real- 
ize that  the  floor  of  the  show  window 
is  worth  consideration.  Some  have 
tried  various  experiments  and  others 
have  shelved  the  whole  problem  because 
they  were  too  busy  making  sales  to  de- 
vote the  time  necessary  to  reach  a  satis- 
factory solution. 

A  good  floor  adds  to  the  beauty  and 
effectiveness  of  the  setting.  It  shows 
off  the  merchandise  to  greater  advan- 
tage. There  is  reason,  therefore,  in  the 
efforts  to  increase  the  share  of  this  do- 
tail  in  the  attractive  quality  of  a  win- 
dow display. 

There  are  a  number  of  ways  in  which 
the  floor  of  the  window  may  be  made 
to  add  to  the  effect  of  the  display.  One 
that  has  been  used  by  some  florists  is 
a  layer  of  colored  hearth  tile  to  cover 
the  wood  flooring  of  the  window.  If 
one  can  get  the  tile  at  a  low  enough 
price,  this  is  a  means   of  acquiring  a 


floor  that  is  permanent  and  artistic. 
One  can  buy  various  colors  and  effects, 
which  will  blend  well  with  a  number  of 
settings.  The  tile,  however,  is  rather 
expensive,  particularly  at  present. 

Composition  Board. 

Composition  board,  now  used  in  con- 
struction work  quite  widely  and  em- 
ployed in  building  window  settings  for 
department  stores  and  specialty  shops 
in  large  cities,  has  many  possibilities 
for  floors.  It  may  be  cut  in  squares 
of  various  sizes  and  each  size  painted  a 
different  color.  By  painting  some  of 
the  blocks  one  color  and  some  another, 
designs,  such  as  found  in  tile  or  marble 
floors,  may  be  carried  out. 

Odd  shapes  will  form  pleasing  de- 
signs. One  may  use  goemetrical  de- 
signs, hexagons,  triangles  and  motifs 
composed  of  a  circle  with  adjusted 
shapes  about  it  to  fit  in  uniformly  with 
the  surrounding  floor.  Various-sized 
square  blocks  used  together  will  also 
make  a  pleasing  design. 

Almost  any  block  floor  is  somewhat 
of  a  Chinese  puzzle  to  set  together,  but 
much  of  this  can  be  overcome  by  draw- 
ing to  scale  the  exact  size  of  the  win- 
dow to  be  covered,  using  a  scale  of  one 
inch   to    the    foot.     After   getting   the 


outline  of  your  window,  find  the  center, 
by  drawing  a  perpendicular  and  a  hori- 
zontal line  which  bisect  where  tho  di- 
agonal lines  from  corner  to  corner  in- 
tersect. By  starting  at  this  center  and 
drawing  your  design  about  it  you  can 
make  the  required  sizes  of  blocks  to 
reach  the  front  of  your  window.  The 
blocks  at  the  sides  of  the  window  may 
be  less  than  a  full  block,  but  this  does 
not  matter  as  long  as  the  design  is 
symmetrical  and  so  long  as  the  front 
comes  even. 

After  drawing  the  design  in,  it  can 
be  colored,  and  you  will  then  have;  a 
definite  idea  of  the  arrangement  when 
finished,  or  during  the  process  of  lay- 
ing. It  will  save  waste,  too,  as  ypu 
will  know  exactly  how  many  blocks  of 
the  various  shapes  you  will  require. 

The  most  satisfactory  way  to  cut 
square  blocks  is  to  send  your  composi- 
tion board  to  a  job  printing  shop,  where 
they  will  cut  it  with  their  cutting  ma- 
chines to  any  size  you  require.  In  the 
larger  shops  they  have  machines  large 
enough  to  accommodate  the  4-foot  width 
of  board.  It  is  not  dilficult,  however, 
for  one  to  do  the  cutting  himself. 

Covering  the  Blocks.

with  12-inch  blocks.  There  'will  be 
twenty-four  seams.  Fold  the  fabric 
back  and  forth  twenty-four  times, 
clamp  and  measure.  We  will  say  it 
measures  two  inches.  Multiply  this  by 
two,  because  there  are  two  thicknesses 
at  each  seam  (the  one  wall  seam  not 
counted,  making  the  thickness  of  the 
first  wall  seam  double  also),  and  we 
have  four  inches.  One  seam  would  take 
up  one-twenty-fourth  of  four  inches— 
one-sixth  of  an  inch.  All  blocks,  then, 
must  be  cut  one-sixth  inch  shy  of  the 
foot.  This  looks  like  a  small  amount, 
but  on  twenty-four  feet  it  would  throw 
your  measurement  oflF  the  four  inches 
and  your  blocks  would  not  fit. 

Good  Materials. 

To  cover  blocks  some  good  materials 
for  fall  floors  are  monk's,  friar,  or  nor- 
mandie  cloth,  which  comes  in  light  and 
dark  brown,  green  and  natural.  A  floor 
of  two  colors,  brown  and  natural,  would 
be  excellent.  Felts  are  also  good,  there 
being  a  variety  of  colors  in  felts.  Rep 
is  another  good  material  to  be  had  in

several  shades.  Satins  and  velours 
could  be  used  if  one  w^ere  making  an 
exceedingly  elaborate  and  pretentious 
display.  Any  of  these  materials  can  be 
stenciled  with  oil  if  desired.  The  plain 
shades  are  preferable  to  patterned  ma- 
terials. Chased  leathers  can  be  had  in 
a  variety  of  grains  if  one  wishes  such 
a  finish  on  his  window  floor. 

Another  effective  floor  can  be  had  by 
using  veneer  wood  blocks  for  a  par- 
quet border  and  placing  a  large  mat  of 
composition  board  covered  with  fabric 
as  a  center.  Indeed,  there  is  no  end 
to  the  possibilities  which  this  form  of 
floor  design  presents  to  the  ingenious 
window  decorator.  And  the  expense 
may  be  as  little  or  as  much  as  the  in- 
dividual florist  wishes. 


A  TEAVELINQ  GEEENHOUSE. 

There  is  now  such  a  thing  as  a  green- 
house whose  location  can  be  changed  at 
will.  To  quote  a  writer  in  the  Popular 
Science  Monthly,  it  is  "like  a  setting 
hen  that  will  move  from  nest  to  nest 
when  each  batch  of  eggs  is  hatched." 


The    greenhouse,    similarly,    will    move 
from  bed  to  bed  when  each  batch  of 
-plants  no  longer  needs  protection.    We 
read: 

"Of  course  it  doesn't  move  of  its  own 
accord;  but,  although  it  weighs  twenty 
tons,  it  can  be  moved  by  a  small  boy. 
In  fact,  the  same  small  boy  can  move  it 
even  when  it  is  weighted  down  with 
an  additional  fifteen  tons  of  men.  The 
greenhouse  is  raised  on  wheels  that  run 
on  tracks  placed  about  six  feet  apart. 
To  move  it,  the  boy  turns  a  wheel.  In- 
side the  greenhouse  are  pipes  and  a 
boiler  for  heating  it,  a  cold  water  sup- 
ply, ventilating  apparatus  and  every 
other  greenhouse  necessity.  When  it 
has  sheltered  one  batch  of  plants  until 
they  are  sufficiently  strong  to  battle 
with  the  elements,  the  hinged  eaves  of 
the  greenhouse  arc  lifted  up  and  fas- 
tened in  place  until  the  moving  to  a 
younger  bed  is  finished.  Thus  it  passes 
easily  over  the  taller  plants.  This  green- 
houiie  measures  100  feet  in  length,  and  it 
was  invented  by  A.  Pullen-Burry,  of 
Worthing,  England." 

This  English  invention  is-  not  entirely 


new,  for  in  1911  four  houses  were  built 
on  wheels  for  Albert  Stahelin,  at  Red- 
ford,  Mich.,  to  move  on  and  off  the  car- 
nation beds  at  will.  Perhaps  in  its  de- 
tails, including  complete  heating  equip- 
ment and  the  hinged  sides  of  the  houses, 
the  Englishman's  idea  may  be  novel, 
but  American  greenhouse  builders  ante- 
dated the  portable  structure  by  eight 
years. 

FOE  THE  TRADE'S  GOOD. 


Some  Suggestions. 

We  have  no  suggestions  for  the  bet- 
terment of  The  Review.  It  is  good  as 
it  is,  and  we  consider  The  Review  the 
mainspring  in  the  whole  florists'  works 
and  hope  it  stays  there. 

But  there  is  room  for  improvement 
among  some  of  the  florists  themselves, 
some  growers,  wholesalers  and  retailers. 
It  is  up  to  the  grower  to  cultivate  only 
the  best  varieties  of  cut  flowers  and 
plants  there  are  in  the  market.  They 
do  not  require  more  labor,  nor  do  they 
take  up  more  room  in  the  greenhouses,

but  they  are  more  profitable  to  growers 
and  retailers,  besides  giving  better  satis- 
faction to  the  trade  and  steady  custom- 
ers. 

There  are,  especially  among  chrysan- 
themums, a  number  of  poor  varieties 
grown,  which  add  to  the  burden  of  the 
retailer.  He  is  not  willing  to  sell  them 
to  his  trade,  knowing  there  will  be  a 
loss  of  his  customers'  patronage  if  he 
does.  At  the  same  time  he  knows  the 
grower  has  used  his  time  and  valuable 
space  to  produce  this  poor  variety,  and 
cannot  afford  to  go  uncompensated.  So 
there  should  be  propaganda  and  en- 
couragement among  the  growers  to  pro- 
duce only  the  best  varieties,  not  alone 
to  give  good  satisfaction  to  the  trade, 
but  to  back  up  the  great  advertising 
campaign  going  on  at  this  time.

HENRY  R.  COMLEY.  Florist,     6  Park  Street 

60  years'  experience  in  the  florist  bosiness  gftiAranteea 
efficiencv  to  take  care  of  af '  orders.    20  per  cent  allowed 

As  for  the  wholesaler,  after  the  best 
cut  flowers  and  plants  are  growTi,  it  is 
his  duty  to  handle  them  in  the  best 
possible  way,  by  experienced  sorters, 
packers  and  shippers.  Only  too  often 
are  beautiful  flowers  handled  in  such 
a  shameful  manner — broken,  bruised 
and  stripped  of  their  fine  foliage — that 
it  is  impossible  to  offer  them  to  the 
trade.  This  should  be  the  wholesalers' 
main  object,  to  get  the  flowers  into  the 
hands  of  the  retailer  in  perfect  con- 
dition. 

Now  as  to  the  retailer.  He  is  the 
man  of  many  trials  and  tribulations,  a 
man  of  artistic  sentiments  and  pleas- 
ing disposition.  Yet,  one  might  say, 
he  is  in  the  first-line  trenches,  exposed 
to  all  attacks  and  complaints  the  pub- 
lic has  to  offer.  Often  they  are  not 
his  fault,  but  in  many  cases  he  is  obliged 
to  make  good  if  he  expects  to  remain 
in  the  game  and  especially  if  his  trade 
is  of  tlie  particular  class. 

Retailer  Earns  Rewards. 

The  retailer  surely  is  entitled  to  all 
rewards  the  florists'  trade  has  to  offer. 
There  is  much  that  is  expected  of  a 
retail  florist.  He  must  give  advice  re- 
garding the  care  of  plants,  how  to  sow 
seeds  and  how  to  have  success  with 
thorn,  how  to  arrange  a  decoration  in 
a  house  which  he  has  never  seen  and 
how  to  ]ilan  a  table  docoration.  Yes, 
tlie  retailer  is  a  sort  of  floral  diplomat. 

I    would    suggest    tliat    some    of    our

most  experienced  and  older  florists  get 
up  some  sort  of  folder,  under  the  title 
of  "Floral  Hints,"  in  it  to  be  sugges- 
tions as  to  the  uses  and  purposes  of 
cut  flowers  and  as  to  the  proper  care 
of  plants.  This  could  be  made  cheap 
enough  so  that  each  florist  could  afford 
to  distribute  hundreds  among  his  dif- 
ferent customers.  In  this  way  people 
would  be  encouraged  and  educated  in 
the  use  of  flowers — for  their  own  enjoy- 
ment as  well  as  for  special  occasions. 
Only  too  often  the  effect  of  a  beautiful 
bunch  of  roses  is  ruined  because  the 
proper  vase  or  basket  was  not  used,  or 
a  plant  is  spoiled  because  of  insufiScient 
moisture  or  nourishment. 

There  are  many  suggestions  which 
would  help  better  our  trade,  one  of  the 
oldest,  best  and  most  interesting,  a 
trade  working  in  harmony  with  nature, 
we  might  say.  The  beauty  of  flowers 
is  nature's  art;  our  art  is  in  the  ar- 
rangement of  flowers.

ful girl  of  the  Mary  Pickford  order, 
whose  countenance  gave  unmistakable 
evidence  of  pleasure  in  the  possession  of 
gifts  of  flowers  and  plants.  The  text

Funds  for  Spring  Campaign. 

There  is  little  room  for  doubt  tliat 
this  publicity  has  caused  a  greater  de- 
mand for  flowers  and  plants  at  this  fes- 
tive season  than  ever  before.  Before 
the  war  we  always  counted  upon  extra 
business  at  Christmas,  but  never  such 
a  volume  as  this  year.  Many  days  be- 
fore this  issue  of  The  Keview  went  to 
press  plantsmen  generally  were  entirely 
sold  out  of  salable  stock,  evidence  that 
the  public  intended  to  "Say  It  with 
Flowers. ' ' 

Our  publicity  committee  is  in  urgent 
need  of  more  funds  to  carry  along  the 
campaign  during  the  spring  months.  St. 
Valentino's  day  and  Mothers'  day  are 
to  be  featured  strongly  in  the  magazine 
advertising  and  contracts  for  sjiace  in 
the  periodicals  of  large  circulation  must 
be  quickly  completed.  It  is  hoped  that 
the  large  body  of  florists  who  have  not 
yet  subscribed  to  the  fund  will  see  the 
desirability  of  helping  themselves  by 
helping  the  campaign.  The  response 
made  by  the  public  to  our  slogan,  "Say 
It  with  Flowers,"  is  surprisingly  large. 
Help  us  make  it  larger;  help  us  to 
perpetuate  it.  We  can,  with  the  help 
we  believe  to  be  owing  to  us,  make  the 
slogan  more  popular  than  any  yet  es- 
tablished. It  means  more  and  has 
greater  applicability  than  any  phrase 
ever  adapted  to  trade  purposes. 

Begin  the  new  year  well,  and  sec 
that  your  name  goes  on  the  honor  roll 
of  the  campaign.

ers  would  be  heavily  bought.  Orders 
come  in  so  strongly  that  there  was  a 
possibility  that  there  would  not  be 
stock  enough  to  take  care  of  them  all. 
Prices  were  unusually  high.  Russell, 
Columbia  and  red  roses  were  from  $30 
to  $75,  Ophelia,  Sunburst  and  Ward 
from  $15  to  $20,  Killarney  and  White 
Killarney  from  $15  to  $20.  Carnations 
were  $15  per  hundred,  poinsettias  $4 
per  dozen,  narcissi  $6  and  $8  and  ste- 
via  $3  per  hundred,  California  violets 
$3  per  dozen  bunches.  Sweet  peas  were 
$4  and  $5  per  hundred. 

The  dark  weather  was  hard  on  the 
carnation  crop  and  they  were  scarce. 
Some  growers  had  to  burn  wood  while 
coal  was  low  and  this  kept  roses  from 
coming  on  as  they  would  have  done 
under  normal  conditions.  If  it  had  not 
been  for  the  coal  strike  there  w.uld 
have  been  big  supplies  of  roses.  Beau- 
ties were  especially  scarce.  Retail 
prices  were  $25  to  $35  per  dozen.

J.  G.  Eggleston  had  a  fair  supply  of 
carnations  and  a  good  crop  of  sweet 
peas  for  Christmas.  He  had  not  the 
supply  of  plants  that  he  would  have 
liked  to  have  with  the  promising 
business  in  view,  for  some  of  the  green- 
house men  were  afraid  to  stock  up 
heavily  on  plants  early  in  the  season, 
owing  to  the  coal  situation,  and  Mr. 
Eggleston  was  one  of  these.

business  in  strawflowers  and  fancy  bas- 
kets. Mr.  Newell  originated  for  this 
city  a  clever  little  coat  bouquet  with 
colonial  paper  holder.  He  has  sold 
every  one  in  stock  and  could  sell  500 
more  if  he  had  them.  They  have  taken 
immensely. 

Fred  Fromhold  recently  filed  a  peti- 
tion in  voluntary  bankruptcy.  He  list- 
ed his  liabilities  at  $7,731.70  and  his 
assets  at  $1,240.55.  Mr.  Fromhold  for- 
merly conducted  a  flower  store  on  Bal- 
timore avenue  and  later  moved  to  the 
Argyle  building,  Twelfth  and  McGee 
streets,  where  he  closed  out  his  business 
several  weeks  ago. 

W.  F.  Tredup,  representative  of  the 
A.  L.  Randall  Co.,  Chicago,  in  this  terri-

The  Market. 

The  local  wholesale  market  was  in  a 
splendid  condition  last  week.  While 
the  supply  was  quite  large,  the  demand 
was  heavy  and  cleanup  sales  were  re- 
ported on  everything  that  came  in. 

The  weather  was  fine  all  week.  Plenty 
of  sunshine  produced  a  good  supply  of 
everything  seasonable  for  Christmas. 
Prices    were    quoted    high    in    advance

price  lists  of  the  local  wholesalers. 
Usually  in  previous  years  the  advance 
prices  have  been  high  and  the  market 
has  broken  the  day  before  Christmas, 
vv^hen  the  big  supply  came  in  at  the  last 
moment  from  growlers  who  held  back, 
but  this  would  not  happen  this  year,  the 
leading  growers  asserted;  they  said 
stock  would  be  scarce,  even  with  plenty 
of  clear  weather. 

Roses  last  week  were  of  the  best  qual- 
ity, especially  in  Premier  and  Ophelia. 
Russell  and  Columbia  sold  well.  Prices 
on  the  choice  stock  advanced  greatly, 
especially  on  Premier  and  Russell,  which 
are  up  to  $75  per  hundred.  There  was 
a  big  call  for  White  Killarney.  Red 
roses  were  scarce  and  the  price  on  Mi- 
lady was   high   and   the   demand   large. 

Carnations  had  the  biggest  demand 
in  years,  especially  from  outside,  show- 
ing plainly  that  carnations  are  scarce 
all  over  the  countrvi  Advance  orders 
at  all  the  wholesale  markets  were  more 
than  the  supply  would  be. 

Mums  were  in  better  supply  than 
was  expected.  Many  of  the  late  va- 
rieties were  held  back  for  Christmas. 
Among  them  were  Chadwick,  Nonin 
and  Golden  Wedding.  There  was  a  fine 
sui)ply  of  pompons  for  Christmas,  as 
many  fine  late  yellows  were  in,  many 
of  these  having  been  saved  for  Christ- 
mas cutting. 

In  the  miscellaneous  class  the  market 
had  a  good  supply  for  Christmas,  in- 
cluding Paper  Whites,  A-ellow  narcissi, 
sweet  peas,  calendulas,  stevia,  extra 
long  poinsettias  and  mignonette.  Val- 
ley was  scarce,  but  a  good  supply  of 
orchids,  both  cypripediums  and  cat- 
tleyas,  was  looked  for. 

In  greens,  flat  ferns,  adiantum,  smi- 
lax,  leucothoe,  galax,  Mexican  ivy  and 
Asparagus  plumosus  and  Sprengeri  had 
a  big  call.

a  fine  lot  of  poinsettias  for  both  cut

cleaned  up  early  this  year,  as  blooming 
]ilants  were  scarce  here. 

August  Hummert,  of  the  St.  Louis

such  a  rush  for  Christmas  goods  as  this 
year.  Their  Verybest  brand  of  holly 
was  cleaned  out  early  to  the  local 
trade.  Eed  frieze  and  ruscus  had  one 
of  the  largest  demands  in  many  years.

The  J.  F.  Ammann  Co.,  of  Edwards- 
ville,  111.,  sent  to  C.  A.  Kuehn  a  fine 
cut    of    Premier,    Columbia   and    Ward. 

H.  Blixen,  of  the  Woodlawn  Co.,  of 
Edwardsville,  also  sent  to  C.  A.  Kuehn 
a  nice  cut  of  roses. 

Frank  Gorly,  of  Grimm  &  Gorly,  re- 
ported that  from  the  looks  of  things 
there  would  be  a  clean-up  for  Christ- 
mas and  that  by  the  time  they  opened 
their  new  store  at  712  Washington 
avenue  they  would  need  a  complete  new 
lot  of  supplies.

short  of  the  demand  this  year,  espe- 
cially the  two  latter.  The  little  mis- 
tletoe that  did  come  in  was  badly  fro- 
zen in  transit,  while  holly  was  exceed- 
ingly fine  and  well  berried. 

Windier 's  Flowers,  the  Eggeling  Flo- 
ral Co.,  the  Schoenle  Floral  Co.,  Berg- 
stermann  and  Beyer,  South  Grand  avenue 
florists,  had  great  attractions  for  the 
shoppers,  with  fine  Christmas  window 
displays.  All  looked  for  a  record-break- 
ing Christmas  business  this  year. 

Henry  Berning  said  there  was  a 
heavy  shipping  demand  for  cut  stock  of 
all  kinds.  The  demand  for  carnations 
was  away  beyond  anything  in  previous 
years.  The  local  demand,  too,  was 
heavy  all  the  week. 

Meetings  for  the  first  two  weeks  in 
the  new  year  are  as  follows:  St.  Louis

grave  decorations. 

E,  W.  Guy,  now  retired,  of  Belleville,

18,  doing  Christmas  shopping.  It  was 
Mr.  Guy's  sixty-third  birthday,  though 
he  doesn't  look  it. 

The  florists  bowled  their  last  games 
in  the  old  year  December  17  and  some 
extra  good  bowling  was  done  by  all 
the  teams.  The  Roses  defeated  tlic 
Carnations  in  three  games,  giving  them  a 
lead  of  four  games,  while  the  Daisies 
were  taking  the  odd  game  from  the 
Sweet  Peas.  The  standing  of  the  teams 
now  is:  Roses,  first;  Carnations,  sec- 
ond; Sweet  Peas,  third,  and  the  Daisies 
last.  The  next  bowling  session  will  be 
January  7.

NAMING  FLORISTS'   FLOWERS. 

Confusion  from  duplicate  names  for 
new  varieties  of  flowers  calls  forth  the 
following  from  the  reader  of  a  British 
horticultural  .iournal: 

"The  naming  of  florists'  flowers 
leaves,  in  some  cases  at  least,  much  to 
be  desired.  A  prolific  source  of  trouble 
is  that  tlie  same  name  is  sometimes  used 
for  different  plants  of  one  genus.  To 
some  it  may  appear  a  matter  of  small 
account,  but  it  has  many  times  been  a 
source  of  great  worry  to  me.  For  a 
number  of  years  I  was  engaged  in  a 
nursery  establishment  where  new  and 
choice  soft-wooded  plants  were  a  spe- 
cialty. The  trouble  was  that  the  same 
names  were  often  given  by  different 
raisers  to  their  own  productions,  the 
choice  generally  falling  upon  some  no- 
tability of  the  time.  Thus,  speaking 
from  memory,  the  name  Prince  of 
Wales  crops  up  about  half  a  dozen  times

among  pelargoniums,  while  Princess  of 
Wales  is  just  as  often  used.  A  favorite 
name  for  pelargoniums  is  Achievement. 
This  appellation  has  been  applied  to  at 
least  two  distinct  show  pelargoniums, 
one  ivy-leaved  pelargonium,  one  tri- 
color pelargonium  and  one  zonal- 
loavod  pelargonium.  I  well  remember 
some  forty  years  or  so  ago  being  taken 
severely  to  task  for  supplying  fuchsias 
not  true  to  name.  The  trouble  arose 
through  two  varieties  bearing  the  name 
of  Avalanche  being  sent  out  in,  I  think, 
the  same  year  by  ?].  G.  Henderson  A 
Son,  St.  .John's  Wood,  and  F.  A.  Smith 
&  Sons,  Dulwich.  They  were  both 
double-flowered  varieties.  Henderson 's 
was  a  good  dark  variety,  while  the 
flowers  of  the  other  had  a  white  corolla. 
Now  that  newer  kinds  of  all  sorts  of 
flowers  are  being  raised  from  seeds,  it 
seems  to  me  that  it  would  be  a  good 
plan  to  register  names  of  novelties  with 
some  central  authority  in  order  to 
avoid  duplications  such  as  are  referred 
to  above.  Coming  to  more  recent  times, 
I  believe  I  am  correct  in  saying  that 
the  gold  medal  of  the  National  Rose 
Society  has  been  awarded  to  two   dia-

start  lupines  under  glass?     H.  J. — 111. 

Lupines  are  among  the  most  useful  of 
our  annuals  for  forcing.  Their  long, 
graceful  spikes  of  pea-shaped  flowers  in 
combinations  of  red,  white,  yellow  and 
blue  are  gorgeous  and  the  flowers  last 
extremely  well  in  water.  I  have  had 
good  success  with  tho  annual  pink 
lupines  started  in  August  and  blooming 
from  Thanksgiving  to  Christmas.  Sow

SEATTLE  NOTES. 

[Concluded  from  page  61.] 

The  Woodlawn  Flower  Shop  recently 
had  a  fine  display  of  Maud  Dean  mums; 
some  of  the  blooms  were  fully  fourteen 
inches  in  diameter.  H.  A.  Crouch  said 
that  they  sold  easily  at  ^  high  price. 

The  Hollywood  Gardens  received  some 
fine  stock  in  roses  and  mums  from  their 
greenhouses.  Last  week  they  were  cut- 
ting between  2,000  and  3,000  carnations 
a  day.  Mr.  Meyers,  in  charge  of  the 
range,  has  wholesaled  some  fine  poin- 
settias  and  cyclamens  to  the  local  trade 
at  good  prices.  This  firm  had  an  ex- 
tensive decoration  in  the  new  store  of 
the  Frederick  &  Nelson  Co.;  Christmas 
trees  massed  around  the  pillars,  pine 
festooning  and  a  generous  use  of  elec- 
tric lights  of  various  sizes  were  the  chief 
elements  in  the  decoration. 

The  Fremont  Floral  Co.  had  a  fine  lot 
of  cyclamens,  which  they  sold  outright 
to  Felix  Rosaia.  P.  T.  C. 


Emporia,  Kan. — Mr.  and  Mrs.  Frank 
M.  Keeler  have  bought  the  Congress 
street  greenhouse  from  George  Spear 
for  $9,000  and  with  Joe  Keeler,  Charles 
Keeler  and  Ora  Bindom  have  formed 
the  Riverside  Garden  Co.  Joe  Keeler 
will  have  charge  of  the  Congress  street 
house,  while  Mrs.  Keeler  will  continue 
to  manage  the  store  on  Commercial 
street. 

Beading,  Pa. — At  a  recent  meeting  of 
the  Reading  Florists'  Association,  held 
at  the  home  of  Ferdinand  Heck,  Wyo- 
missing,  the  following  officers  were 
elected  for  the  ensuing  year:  Presi- 
dent, H.  C.  Huesman;  vice-president, 
Jacob  C.  Bauder,  and  secretary-treas- 
urer, Wilbert  N.  Abel.  A  discussion  of 
the  supply  and  demand  of  Easter  lilies 
showed  it  to  be  the  general  opinion 
that  there  will  be  a  great  scarcity  of 
these  blooms  for  next  Easter.

tensive decoration  in  the  new  store  of 
the  Frederick  &  Nelson  Co.;  Christmas 
trees  massed  around  the  pillars,  pine 
festooning  and  a  generous  use  of  elec- 
tric lights  of  various  sizes  were  the  chief 
elements  in  the  decoration. 

The  Fremont  Floral  Co.  had  a  fine  lot 
of  cyclamens,  which  they  sold  outright 
to  Felix  Rosaia.  P.  T.  C, 


Emporia,  Kan. — Mr.  and  Mrs.  Frank 
M.  Keeler  have  bought  the  Congress 
street  greenhouse  from  George  Spear 
for  $9,000  and  with  Joe  Keeler,  Charles 
Keeler  and  Ora  Rindom  have  formed 
the  Riverside  Garden  Co.  Joe  Keeler 
will  have  charge  of  the  Congress  street 
house,  while  Mrs.  Keeler  will  continue 
to  manage  the  store  on  Commercial 
street. 

Beading,  Pa. — At  a  recent  meeting  of 
the  Reading  Florists'  Association,  held 
at  the  home  of  Ferdinand  Heck,  Wyo- 
missing,  the  following  officers  were 
elected  for  the  ensuing  year:  Presi- 
dent, H.  C.  Huesman;  vice-president, 
Jacob  C.  Bander,  and  secretary-treas- 
urer, Wilbert  N.  Abel.  A  discussion  of 
the  supply  and  demand  of  Easter  lilies 
showed  it  to  be  the  general  opinion 
that  there  will  be  a  great  scarcity  of 
these  blooms  for  next  Easter.

The  Holland  bulb  salesmen  in  consid- 
erable nximber  are  spending  the  holidays 
in  the  United  States. 

The  early  bird  of  the  1920  Holland 
bulb  catalogues  is  that  of  Gt.  Van  Wav- 
eren  &  Kruyff,  of  Sassenheim,  Holland. 

If  the  Japanese  do  not  get  more  money 
for  their  lilies  in  1920  it  will  be  because 
American  and  English  buyers  stand  pat 
on  whatever  offer  they  make. 

The  official  roster  of  the  Louisville 
Seed  Co.,  Louisville,  Ky.,  is:  President, 
George  E.  Hays;  vice-president,  Harvey 
D.  Hays;  secretary,  Owen  T.  Watts;  treas- 
urer, Joe  D.  MarshalL  ^'^^_         \ 

The  Holland  bulb  exporters  are  dis- 
tributing their  1920  catalogues.  They 
show  little  reduction  in  the  number  of 
varieties  listed,  but  prices  are  quite  a  lit- 
tle above  those  at  which  1919  shipments 
were  invoiced. 

The  seedsmen  whose  catalogues  are 
not  "on  the  fire"  are  burning  the  mid- 
night oil.  Late-comers  are  finding  print- 
ing facilities  well  employed  and  estimates 
of  cost  run  from  twenty-five  to  fifty  per 
cent  above  those  of  last  year. 

As  regularly  was  the  case  while  he  was 
publicity  manager  for  the  Livingston 
Seed  Co.,  Adolph  Kruhm,  now  secretary 
for  Beckert's  Seed  Store,  Pittsburgh,  is 
the  early  bird  in  the  matter  of  the  1920 
general  seed  catalogue.  His  book 
reached  The  Review  December  19.  It  is  a 
McFarland  job. 

Officers  of  the  recently  formed  North- 
west Pacific  Seedsmen's  Association  are 
as  follows:  President,  Frank  Leckenby, 
of  the  Chas.  H.  Lilly  Co.,  Seattle,  Wash. ; 
secretary-treasurer,  L.  C.  Barrett,  of  the 
Spokane  Seed  Co.,  Spokane,  Wash. ;  direc- 
tors, John  Anderson,  of  the  Inland  Seed 
Co.,  Spokane;  F.  E.  Barkemeyer,  of  the 
Barkemeyer  Grain  &  Seed  Co.,  Great 
Falls,  Mont.;  C.  H.  Leslie,  of  Darrow 
Bros.  Seed  &  Supply  Co.,  Twin  Falls, 
Idaho,  and  Greo.  S.  Reed,  of  the  Portland 
Seed  Co.,  Portland,  Ore. 

CoNSULAE  advices  report  an  increasing 
demand  for  seeds  in  the  Sao  Paulo  dis- 
trict, Brazil.  The  United  States  is  get- 
ting a  larger  share  of  the  business,  al- 
though Italy,  Portugal  and  Uruguay  are 
admittedly  the  chief  suppliers.  In  1918, 
1,048,115  pounds  of  seeds,  bulbs,  and 
roots  were  imported  through  the  port  of 
Santos.  The  Brazilian  customs  tariff 
provides  that  vegetable,  flower  and  field 
seeds  for  agriculture  in  general  shall  be 
admitted  duty  free.  American  seeds  are 
considered  of  excellent  quality,  since 
plants  grown  from  them  do  well  in  the 
Sao  Paulo  district,  where  the  climate  is 
similar  to  that  of  the  southern  United 
States.

These   German    shipments    are   being

Under  present  circumstances  a  certifi- 
cate of  inspection  could  not  be  obtained 
in  the  country  of  origin,  as  is  done  with 
shipments  from  other  countries.    There- 
fore the  federal  inspection  authorities 
must  examine  the  pips  to  see  if  they 
conform  to  regulations.    If  so,  they  will 
be  passed  almost  immediately.    If  not, 
they   will  be   held  for  fumigation,  in 
order  to  free  them  from  whatever  con- 
tamination the  authorities  find  on  them.

Cold  Killfl  Cabbage. 

lientloa  The  Rerlew  when  jroa  write. 

One  of  the  results  of  the  unusually 

cold  weather  has  been  the  practical  de- 
struction of  the  1920  cabbage  seed  crop 
of  the  state  of  Washington.  This  crop  is 
valued   close  to  a  million  dollars,  and 
from  all  appearances  now  the  loss  will 
be  from  seventy  to  ninety  per  cent. 

It  takes  two  years  to  grow  a  crop  of 
cabbage  seed,  the  first  year  being  used 
to  produce  heads;  these  are  kept  over  the 
winter    and    seeds    are    produced    from 
these  heads  during  the  second  season. 

Owing  to  the  unusually  dry  and  back-

far  advanced  this  year  as  usual.    These 
heads  all   have  to  be   selected  before 
being  covered  for  the  winter  and  on  ac- 
count of  the  backward  season  this  selec- 
tion   and    consequent    protection    was 
being  left  as  long  as  possible,  so  that  the

The  Florists^  Review 


DiCBUBBB  25.  1919. 


judged  at  the  present  time  all  of  the 
crops,  none  of  which  have  been  covered, 
have  been  so  thoroughly  frozen  as  to 
be  a  complete  loss. 

In  the  section  around  Chehalis,  where 
the  thermometer  has  dropped  in  the  last 
few  days  to  10  degrees  below  zero  and 
where  none  of  the  turnips  have  been 
covered,  there  will  imdoubtedly  be 
nothing  left  worth  caring  for. 

Altogether  the  seed  industry  of  the 
state  of  Washington,  which  experienced 
such  an  increase  during  the  last  few 
years,  especially  during  the  war,  has 
received  a  severe  setback,  especially  with 
regard  to  those  crops  which  take  two 
years  to  produce  seed,  such  as  cabbage, 
turnip,  rutabaga,  kale,  beet,  mangel, 
etc.  Only  a  few  of  the  older  and  more 
experienced  farmers  have  saved  their 
/    crops. 

Frank  Leckenby,  of  the  Chas.  H.  Lilly 
f^,)  Seattle,  states  that  beets  and 
<  inangels  have  been  fairly  well  taken 
care  of,  probably  half  of  them  being 
pitted  and  covered  sufficiently  to  have 
been  protected,  but  on  account  of  the 
unusually  backward  season  a  large  pro- 
portion of  the  cabbage  had  not  been  cov- 
ered, and  what  was  not  covered  will  be 
almost  a  total  loss,  so  far  as  can  be 
judged  at  present. 


SUING  A  SEEDSMAN  JOINTLY. 


Mxist  Have  Common  Interest. 

The  Alabama  Supreme  court  has  re- 
versed judgment  in  favor  of  plaintiffs 
in  the  case  of  Boykin  et  al.  vs.  Winter- 
Loeb  Grocery  Co.,  82  Southern  Reporter, 
437,  in  a  suit  in  which  plaintiffs  seek 
recovery  for  damages  for  claimed 
breach  of  warranty  by  defendant  in  the 
sale  of  certain  seeds  warranted  to  be 
Texas  Bibbon  cane  seed,  but  consisting 
of  a  mixture  of  cane  and  broom  corn 
seed.  The  opinion  permits  a  new  trial 
in  the  lower  court,  reversing  the  original 
judgment  on  the  ground  that  the  trial 
judge  improperly  prevented  the  jury 
from  passing  upon  the  question  whether 
all  the  plaintiffs  were  parties  to  the 
contract  of  sale  in  such  sense  as  to  make 
it  proper  for  them  to  sue  jointly.  The 
salient  parts  of  the  decision  on  appeal 
are  as  follows: 

Joint  Vendees,  Joint  PlaintiiTs. 

"It  is  unquestionably  the  law  that  in 
order  for  two  or  more  parties  to  join  in 
an  action  upon  a  contract,  there  must  be 
community  interest;  that  is,  they  must 
be  parties  to  the  same  and  jointly  in- 
terested therein,  though  their  interest 
need  not  necessarily  be  equal.  It  is 
also  settled  in  this  as  well  as  many  other 
jurisdictions  that,  if  Boykin  made  a 
contract  with  the  defendant  for  himself 
and  the  other  plaintiffs  jointly,  they 
may  join  in  an  action  for  the  breach  of 
same,  notwithstanding  the  defendant 
was  ignorant  of  any  interest  the  others 
had  in  the  contract.  In  order,  however, 
for  these  plaintiffs  to  maintain  this 
joint  action,  the  contract  that  Boykin 
made  must  have  been  made  by  him  for 
himself  and  as  agent  for  the  other  plain- 
tiffs,  and  not  for  himself  only,  with  the 
expectation  of  advancing  or  reselling 
some  of  the  seed  to  the  other  plaintiffs. 
In  other  words,  the  other  plaintiffs  must 
have  been  parties  to  the  originnl  pur- 
chase and  joint  vendees  with  Boykin. 
If  these  other  plaintiffs  were  not  original 
vendees  of  the  defendant,  but  Boykin 
was  the  real  and  sole  vendee  of  the 
Winter-Loeb  Co.,  and  the  other  plain-

with  it  an  implied  warranty  that  the 
seeds  to  be  delivered  were  the  kind  of- 
fered and  were  not  to  be  mixed  with 
other  kinds  of  seeds. 

Seed  Fuxlty  up  to  Jury. 

"The  trial  court,  however,  erred  in 

?iving  the  general  affirmative  charge 
or  the  plaintiffs,  as  it  was  a  question 
for  the  jury  as  to  whether  or  not  all  the 
plaintiffs  were  parties  to  the  eontraet 
of  sale  so  as  to  authorize  this  joint  ae* 
tion.  True,  Boykin  testified  that  he 
j  purchased  the  seed  for  himself  and  these 
I  various  parties,  but  it  was  open  for  the 
';  jury  to  infer  that,  while  he  intended 
'  supplying  them  with  seed  for  plant^Ji^ 
I  purposes,  they  were  not  parties  to  the 
purchase,  and  that  Boykin  purchased  the 
t  samo  upon  his  own  account,  expecting 
j  to  supply  the  others  himself.  While 
!  Boykin  t''8tified  that  he  bought  the 
!  seeds  for  himself  and  the  other  plaia* 
tiffs,  he  also  testified  that  he  used  a 
:  part  of  the  seeds  and  '  sold  to  these  other 
i  plaintiffs.'  Moreover,  it  was  a  question 
I  for  the  jury  as  to  the  species  of  seeds 
!  delivered,  as  no  one  examined  the  seeds 
I   and  proved  that  they  were  not  the  kind 

■  bargained  for,  and  the  only  proof  that 
:  they  were  not  was  based  upon  the  na- 
'  ture  and  character  of  the  crop  grown 

upon  the  land  where  thp-"^  were  planted 
I   and  which  showed  a  mixture  of  other 
products  such  as  Johnson  grt.sB,  broom 
I   corn,  sorghum,  etc.,  and  while  this  was 
relevant  and  may  have  been  quite  con- 
i   vincing  evidence  that  the  seed  as  de- 
livered was  mixed,  it  was  not  entirely 
;  conclusive  that   the  other  growths  re- 
'   suited  from  the  sowing  of  'the  seed  ob- 
i  tained  from  the  defendant.    Indeed,  it 
;  is  a  matter  of  common  knowledge  that 
i   Johnson  grass  and  broom  com  are  quite 
'   common    in    this    count- y,   and  prolific 
'    crops  of  same  are  often  grown  without 
j    the  necessity  of  planting  every  season; 
''   and,  from  aught  that  appears  from  this 
i    record,   these    lands   might   have   been 
given  to  the  previous  growth  and  pro- 
duction of  the  other  things  found  mixed 
with  the  Texas  Eibbon  cane.     It  would 
have   been   proper,  no   doubt,   for   the 
plaintiffs  to  have  shown  the  nature  and 
character  of  the  crops  of  others  using 
the   same   kind    of   seed   and   procured 
from  a  similar  source,  and  for  the  de- 
fendant  to   have    done   likewise.  _    The 
trial  court,  however,  did  not  err  in  de- 
clining to  admit  proof  that  the  dealer  in 
these  seeds  received  no  complaint^  from 
others    to   whom   he   had    sold    similar 
seeds. '  *  8.

vividly  expressed  in  this  cancellation 
of  an  order  received  from  the  United 
States  by  the  retail  plant  department 
of  the  firm  of  Kelway  &  Son,  at  Lang- 
port,  England: 

Acting    upon    your    siiggestlon    received    ioine 
time   ago,    I   made   application   through   the  con- 
gressman from  our  cUy.   whom  I  know  well,   t» 
;     secure   a    permit   for   me    to   Import    some   •tocK 

•  from  you  which  was  due  me  on  last  year  ■  order. 

He    sent   me   a    lengthy   form   and    appUcatlffii 
'    to  fill  out,  which  binds  me  now  and  forerer  by 

•  bond    and   otherwise    and    lots   of   other   foollsh- 

■  ness,  with  a  lot  of  Information  that  neither  yon 
nor    I    nor    anybody    else    can    furnish,    and    for 

-  that  reason  I  hare  decided  to  forego  importing 
any  stock  for  the  benefit  of  the  general  public 
as  well  as  myself  nntU  such  time  as  we  can  get 
an  administration  down  at  Washington  that  has 
somewhat  the  people's  interests  at  heart  rather 
than  the  politicians'.  Signs  of  the  times  point 
to  the  fact  that  the  people  are  sick  of  the  way 
their   Interests   are  handled. 

In  order  that  you  may  know  the  red  tape  and 
other  things  that  it  Is  necessary  for  me  to  go 
through  to  import  this  few  dollars'  worth  of 
St«ck,     I    am    sending    you    the    correspondence,

SnOABrBEET    SEED    PSODUCTION. 

Bevised  estimates  of  sugar-beet  seed 
produced  in  the  United  States  in  1919 
show  a  total  production  of  approxi- 
mately 6,700,000  pounds  on  a  total  acre- 
age of  11,100  acres,  with  an  average 
yield  of  600  pounds  an  acre.  Earlier 
estimates,  based  on  reports  of  growers, 
indicated  a  total  production  of  7,500,- 
000  pounds.  It  developed,  however, 
that  the  average  yield  per  acre  in  Idaho 
and  Michigan  was  much  smaller  than 
was  anticipated  by  the  growers.  Con- 
siderable acreage  in  Idaho  was  reported 
to  be  a  total  failure. 

The  1919  production  still  is  800,000 
pounds  greater  than  the  total  produc- 
tion in  1918,  1,620,000  pounds  greater 
than  in  1917,  and  1,160,000  pounds 
greater  than  in  1916.

A  TABLE  of  importations  of  nursery 
stock  during  the  year  ended  June  30,  1919, 
appears  in  this  issue  on  page  18. 

The  officers  of  the  United  States  Nurs- 
ery Co.,  which  operates  1,062  acres  at 
Roseacres,  Miss.,  are:  President,  John 
M.  Good;  vice-president,  Frank  E.  Good; 
secretary  and  treasurer,  Edwin  S.  Houck; 
general  manager,  S.  W.  Crowell. 

Nathaniel  F.  Webb  is  the  manager  of 
the  nursery  department  of  the  North  Shore 
Landscape  Architects,  who  have  opened 
their  office  in  the  Hoybiirn  building,  Ev- 
anston,  111.  Benjamin  E.  Gage  is  the 
landscape  adviser  and  C.  Dudley  Wag- 
staff  the  landscape  architect. 

Last  year  about  4,000,000  fruit  seed- 
lings were  produced  in  the  Yuba  river  bot- 
toms, California.  This  year  about  2,- 
000,000  are  being  shipped,  the  decreased 
production  being  due  to  difficulties  in  pro- 
curing material  and  help.  Yuba  county 
growers  found  field  mice  a  problem  in 
growing  apple  and  pear  seeds,  but  they 
obtained  relief  by  the  use  of  a  poison  rem- 
edy furnished  by  the  state  horticultural 
commission. 


TENNESSEE    NUBSERYMEN. 


r  Meet  at  Nashville. 

'  The  convention  of  the  Tennessee  State 
Nurserymen's  Association,  held  at  the 
i  same  time  as  those  of  the  Tennessee 
;  State  Horticultural  Society  and  the  Ten- 
•nessee  Beekeepers'  Association,  at  Nash- 
,  ville,  December  9  to  11,  was  a  success 
I  from  start  to  finish.  The  attendance 
I  was  large,  the  meetings  were  interest- 
i  ing,  the  discussions  were  lively  and  great 
'  good  resulted. 

The  banquet  held  by  the  three  associa- 
'  tions  Tuesday  night,  December  9,  at  the 
•  Hotel   Hermitage,   the   headquarters  of 
'  the  associations,  was  a  brilliant  affair. 
John    R.    Watson,    executive    secretary 
of  the  American  Association  of  Nursery- 
men, spoke  for  the  nursery  trade. 

One  striking  thing  about  the  conven- 
tion just  concluded  is  that  practically 
everyone  on  the  program  was  present 
and  came  with  a  message  both  timely 
and  important.  The  only  exception  was 
S.  W.  Crowell,  of  Roseacres,  Miss., 
who  was  kept  at  home  by  sickness.  Ex- 
cellent addresses  were  delivered  by 
Robert  Pyle,  president  of  the  Conard  & 
Jones  Co.,  West  Grove,  Pa.,  and  John 
R.  Watson,  executive  secretary  of  the 
American  Association  of  Nurserymen, 
Princeton,  N.  J. 

Delegates   from  commercial   clubs   of 


Chattanooga,  Memphis  and  Johnson  City 
gave  invitations  and  strongly 'presented 
inducements  for  the  convention  to  be 
held  in  their  respective  cities,  but  it  was 
unanimously  voted  to  hold  the  1920  con- 
vention in  Nashville. 


COUNT  YOXTE  COSTS. 


Wliat  Makes  Trees  So  High? 

In  the  present  day  of  high  prices  it  is 
not  ■  at  all  unreasonable  to  expect  the 
price  of  nursery  stock  to  keep  pace  with 
other  products;  yet,  at  the  same  time,  we 
hear  our  customers  exclaim,  "My,  what 
makes  trees  so  high?"  They  do  not 
stop  to  consider  that  almost  the  entire

cost  of  nursery  stock  is  made  np  of  la- 
bor, which  has  doubled  and  trebled  in 
cost  in  the  last  few  years,  and,  if  we 
base  our  selling  price  on  the  cost  of 
production,  we  must  either  raise  the 
price  or  go  out  of  business. 

Fortunately,  most  of  the  buyers,  hav- 
ing got  used  to  the  H.  Q.  of  L.,  take  the 
rise  good-naturedly  and  pay  the  price,

Unlike  the  staple  food  products,  nurs-

is  true  that  the  products  of  the  trees  are 
coming  to  be  considered  more  of  a  neces- 
sity than  formerly,  yet  trees  are  not  in

themselves  a  necessity  and  the  buyer  of 
nursery  stock,  particularly  fruit  trees, 
must  be  considered  in  the  same  light  as 
the  dealer  in  any  other  products.  He 
does  not  buy  because  he  has  to  have 
them,  but  rather  as  a  speculation.  He 
sees,  or  thinks  he  can  see,  a  profit  to  be 
made  on  his  investment.  He  figures 
(not  always  correctly,,  of  course)  that 
the  price  of  the  fruit  will  pay  him  a 
reasonable  income  on  the  coat  of  the 
trees,  plus  the  cost  of  bringing  them 
into  bearing.

less  independent.  In  no  case,  however, 
is  he  going  to  pay  a  price  so  high  that 
Ms  investment  will  become  too  large  for 
him  to  hope  to  make  a  reasonable  in- 
come. I  do  not  mean  seven  or  eight  per 
cent,  for  that  is  not  enough  margin  for 
either  the  orchardist  or  the  nurseryman, 
both  of  whom  take  long  chances  and  are 
entitled  to  a  margin  of  profit  commen- 
surate with  the  risk.  I  think  that  most 
of  us  nurserymen  would  prefer  to  invest 
our  money  in  Liberty  bonds,  if  we  had 
any  to  invest,  rather  than  try  to  grow 
nursery  stock  on  a  margin  of  seven  or 
eight  per  cent,  for,  notwithstanding  the 
fact  that  many  times  we  do  not  realize 
that  much,  yet  we  have  visions  of  a 
much  greater  margin. 

The  Future  of  the  H.  C.  of  K 

~  Fortunately,  at  the  present  time  prices 
of  nearly  all  fruits  are  such  that  the 
grower  feels  safe  in  paying  a  good,  stiff 
price  for  his  trees,  but  what  of  the  fu- 
ture? How  long  is  the  h.  c.  of  1.  going 
to  continue?  If  we  knew,  we  should  all 
be  either  planting  all  of  the  stock  that 
we  could  get  in  or  else  getting  out  from 
under  as  fast  as  possible. 

Figuring  from  a  strictly  cost  basis,  it 
looks  as  if  prices  would  continue  to  soar, 
but  there  must  be  a  limit.  Sooner  or 
later,  as  in  climbing  a  lofty  mountain 
peak,  we  must  reach  the  top  and  begin 
to  descend.  There  will  be  no  stopping 
at  the  summit;  we  must  either  go  up 
or  go  down.  The  descent  will  begin 
when  some  vital  product,  or  commodity, 
exceeds  the  demand.  Labor  may  be  that 
commodity,  if  it  continues  to  exact 
higher  pay  and  shorter  hours  until  there 
is  no  profit  left  for  the  employer. 

Prosperity's  Purchasing  Power. 

Anything  that  tends  to  affect  the  pur- 
chasing power  of  a  large  number  of  our 
people  and  forces  them  to  live  on  small- 
er incomes  will  cut  down  the  demand 
for  many  of  the  things  that  people  now 
think  they  must  have  and  lower  the  de-

mand  for  the  necessities  of  life,  but  just 
as  long  as  times  are  good  and  people 
have  plenty  of  money  they  will  buy  to 
the  limit  not  only  the  necessities  of  life, 
but  everything  else  that  goes  to  increase 
their  happiness  and  comfort,  including 
the  products  of  the  trees. 

And  as  long  as  the  present  condition 
prevails  there  is  no  reasonable  increase 
in  the  price  of  nursery  stock  that  is  go- 
ing to  deter  people  from  planting.  How- 
ever, I  do  not  think  that  we  should  ap- 
ply the  old  rule  of  charging  all  the 
traffic  will  bear,  for  by  so  doing  we  tend 
to  stimulate  the  planting  of  nursery 
stock  and  at  the  same  time  decrease  the 
demand  for  stock  to  a  certain  extent, 
thus  again  changing  the  balance,  so  that 
prices  will  drop  to  a  point  below  the 
cost  pf  production. 


V 


Labor  Cost. 


The  matter  of  cost  is  getting  to  be  a 
serious  problem,  for  when  we  take  into 
consideration  the  fact  that  labor  con- 
stitutes the  principal  expense  in  the 
production  of  a  tree  and  the  fact  that, 
not  only  has  labor  doubled  or  trebled  in 
cost,  but  along  with  each  increase  its 
efficiency  has  decreased,  we  are  con- 
fronted with  a  greater  expense  than 
simply  the  increase  in  the  price  of  labor. 
I  think  it  safe  to  say  that  the  average 
day's  work  today  is  little  more  than 
half  of  what  was  considered  just  a  good 
day's  work  a  few  years  ago.  On  this 
basis  the  labor  cost  of  growing  a 
now  is  about  four  times  what  it 
then. 

The  Brush  Pile. 


tree 
was 


Then  we  must  take  into  consideration 
the  brush  pile,  which  is  ever  present  in 
the  nursery  business.  No  matter  how 
strong  the  demand,  there  are  always 
some  varieties  that  will  not  sell.  They 
may  have  been  the  best  sellers  last  year, 
or  the  year  before,  but  no  one  wants 
them  now.  Price  cuts  no  figure.  No 
one  will  have  them  at  any  price  and 
they  must  go  to  the  brush  pile.  Then 
there  are  the  culls,  bad  roots  and  dis- 
eased trees;  all  go  the  same  way  and 
the'  cost  of  all  of  these  is  just  the  same 
as  for  those,  we  sell,  four  times  what 
they  used  to  cost. 

All  of  this  must  come  out  of  the 
profits  or,  in  other  words,  must  be  added 
to  the  cost  of  the  trees  sold.  Some  of 
us  in  the  past  have  not  taken  this  fea- 
ture of  the  business  into  consideration,

Carnation  Morning  Glow 

Has  now  lieen  on  trial  in  the  Boston  Market  for  4  years  and  has  made  good. 
It  is  there  considered  one  of  the  "bread  and  butter"  Carnations. 

The  grower  likes  it  because  it  is  an  easy  doer. 

The  seller  likes  it  because  it  is  a  splendid  shipper  and  keeper. 

The  ladies  like  it  for  its  rosy  morning  glow  shade. 
MORNING  GLOW  is  early,  free,  with  a  good,  strong  stem.  It  has  no  tricks 

about  it.  ^ 

While  not  one  of  the  largest,  it  is  probably  the  most  profitable  of  all  Carnations. 

Sold  by  the  originator.  Rooted  cuttings.

Greenhouse  Heating 

BuBSCBiBKBS  are  invited  to  write  the 
editor  of  this  department  with  regard  to 
any  details  of  greenhouse  heating  that 
are  not  understood.  When  information 
is  desired  regarding  the  capacity  of  boil- 
ers, or  the  amount  of  radiation  required 
for  a  greenhouse,  the  needed  temperatures 
should  be  stated  in  the  inquiry,  as  well 
as  thd  amount  of  glass  in  the  side  walls, 
and  the  dimensions  and  general  arrange- 
ment of  the  greenhouses.  It  is  often  help- 
ful, also  to  have  a  sketch  showing  the 
location  of  the  houses. 


FIVE   NEW,    CONNECTED   HOUSES. 

We  have  just  built  five  connected 
greenhouses,  each  25x150,  with  a  height 
of  seven  feet  to  the  gutters.  We  wish 
to  maintain  a  temperature  of  60  degrees 
in  zero  weather,  using  a  steam  boiler. 
We  have  plenty  of  2-inch  and  3-inch 
pipe,  and  we  wish  to  use  3-inch  pipe 
for  the  main  and  2-inch  for  the  flows 
and  returns.  How  many  coils  will  be 
needed  and  how  many  pipes  in  each 
coil!  G.  W.  R.— Can. 


Although  it  is  stated  that  a  steam 
boiler  is  to  be  used  for  heating  the 
houses,  from  the  fact  that  the  coils  are 
to  be  of  2-inch  pipe  we  are  not  sure  that 
hot  water  will  not  be  the  heating  me- 
dium. With  hot  water  we  would  use 
three  3 -inch  flow  pipes  in  each  of  the 
houses,  with  nine  2-inch  returns  in  the 
inside  houses  and  ten  in  those  which 
have  one  outer  wall  exposed.  If  there 
is  more  than  two  feet  of  glass  in  these 
walls,  an  additional  return  should  be 
put  in.  If  the  houses  are  to  be  heated 
with  steam,  we  would  use  one  3-inch  flow 
pipe  and  seven  2-inch  returns,  with  one 
Additional  return  in  the  houses  with  one 
exposed  wall.  The  coils  may  be  either 
tinder  the  benches,  on  the  walls  or  on 
the  supporting  pipes  over  the  benches. 

STEAM  FOR  A  200-FOOT  HOUSE. 

What  size  of  steam  boiler,  as  indi- 
cated in  horsepower,  would  be  required 
to  heat  an  even-span  greenhouse,  33x200 
and  seven  feet  high  to  the  eaves,  main- 
taining a  temperature  of  50  degrees  in 
aero  weather!  How  many  runs  of  pipe 
will  be  needed!  Could  2-inch  pipe  be 
used  for  part  of  the  system!  We  under- 
stand that  in  the  state  of  Ohio  a  licensed 
fireman  must  be  employed  for  a  boiler 
of  over  thirty  horsepower.  Is  this  cor- 
rect! F.  &  S.— O. 


While  a  considerably  smaller  boiler 
would  answer,  we  would  advise  the  use 
of  a  boiler  of  about  twenty-five  horse- 
power. In  case  one  or  more  houses  are 
to  be  added,  it  would  be  well  to  provide 
boiler  capacity  for  any  likely  to  be 
erected  during  the  next  two  or  three 
years.  For  two  houses  use  a  BO-horse- 
power  boiler  and  allow  about  the  same 
amount  of  added  horsepower  for  each 
additional  house. 

Two-inch  pipes  will  answer  well  as 
flow  pipes  in  the  houses,  but  it  will  be 
better  to  use  1%-inch  pipes  as  returns. 
We  would  suggest  the  use  of  three  2- 
inch  flows  and  ten  1^/4 -inch  returns, 
provided  each  side  wall  contains  four 
feet  of  glass.  If  there  is  more  or  less

Mpption   The   Review  wbpp  you  write. 

In  case  the  present  price  of  pipe  seems 
prohibitive  and  there  is  on  hand  plenty 
of  2-inch  pipe  for  the  returns  as  well  as 
for  the  flows,  it  will  be  entirely  feasible 
to  substitute  seven  2-inch  returns  for 
the  ten  l^^^-inch  return  pipes.  Use  three 
of  the  114-inch  or  two  of  the  2-inch 
returns  on  each  side  wall  and  distribute 
the  others  under  the  benches  or  along 
the  sides  of  solid  beds.

Help  Save  the  "White 
Coal  of  Industry" 

The  boiling  hot  water  resulting  from  condensation  in 
your  steam  lines  is  worth  money.  You  have  paid  for 
it  in  terms  of  coal.  It  contains  valuable  heat  units. 
It  is  the  "White  Coal  of  Industry"— it  should  not 
be  wasted. 

And  it  need  not  be  wasted.  The  Morehead  Back-to- 
Boiler  System  will  save  it  for  you  by  returning  it  to 
the  boiler  at  temperatures  as  high  as  400  degrees 
Fahrenheit.  It  reduces  coal  consumption  an  average 
of  20%.  At  the  same  time  your  steam  will  be 
"drier"  and  more  eflficient;  your  .production  speeded 
up  and  profits  increased. 

Write  today  for  facts  and  figures  on  what  the  More- 
head  System  will  do  in  your  plant.

a  license  is  only  required  where  con- 
siderable steam  pressure  is  carried,  mak- 
ing it  unnecessary  to  have  a  license  for 
ordinary  heating  boilers  where  a  low- 
pressure  system  is  used.  At  any  rate, 
the  boiler  need  not  be  over  thirty  horse- 
power in  this  case,  unless  to  be  used  for 
more  than  two  houses.  We  would  sug- 
gest a  letter  to  the  secretary  of  state, 
Columbus,  asking  what  the  requirement 
is. 


PIPING  FOB  HOTBED. 

We  have  three  greenhouses,  each 
V  25x75,  and  on  the  south  side  have  built 
a  hotbed,  12x75  feet,  using  hotbed 
sashes  for  the  roof  and  12-inch  sides 
made  of  2-inch  planks  and  banked  with 
earth.  We  wish  to  heat  it  with  pipe 
from  the  greenhouse,  taking  off  a  1%- 
inch  pipe  from  the  main  at  the  far  end 
of  the  house  and  using  this  to  feed  the 
•:  coils  in  the  hotbed.  The  bed  we  want 
:  to  keep  suitable  for  lettuce  and  hardy 
.  plants,  simply  keeping  out  the  frost  in 
zero  weather  or  less.  It  seldom  gets 
colder  than  15  degrees  below  zero  and 
then  only  for  a  short  time.  The  houses 
are  well  protected  by  hills  on  each  side. 
I  have  two  small  hot  water  boilers,  a 
Boynton  No.  70,  ser.  B,  and  a  Giblin  No. 
70,  ser.  100.  Each  house  has  two  2%- 
inch  mains  and  they  are  used  as  lettuce 
houses.  To  keep  them  at  60  degrees  in 
cloudy  weather,  it  is  necessary  to  keep 
the  water  in  the  boilers  at  150  degrees 
when  the  outdoor  temperature  is  20  de- 
grees above  zero.  We  have  planned  to 
use  one  2-inch  pipe  in  each  side  of  the 
bed  and  three  lV4-inch  pipes  in  the  cen- 
ter of  the  bed.  Would  this  be  enough! 
Shall  we  have  enough  boiler  capacity! 
We  have  a  No.  3  mercury  generator 
with  this  system  and  probably  enough 
coils  in  each  house,  but  as  we  have 
never  run  these  in  severe  weather  we 
should  like  your  advice  before  putting 
in  extra  piping  for  the  bed. 

S.    &  W.— Mo. 


I  have  not  the  catalogues  of  the  Gib- 
lin and  Boynton  boilers  at  hand  and  do 
not  recall  the  ratings  of  the  different 
sizes.  To  heat  the  three  houses  and  a 
hotbed  12x75  feet,  it  would  be  best  to 
use  two  boilers  rated  at  about  1,200 
square  feet  of  hot  water  radiation  each. 
Ono  of  these  will  heat  the  houses  and 
hotbed  in  mild  weather. 

The  piping  suggested  for  the  hotbed 
will  be  practically  correct  so  far  as  the 
amount  of  radiation  is  concerned,  but 
it  would  be  preferable  to  use  either  five 
1^-inch  or   four  2-inch  returns.

The    Standard    Thermostat 

is  the  best  business  partner  and

your  growing  crops  from  ruin  by 
sudden  changes  in  temperature.  It 
is  infallible,  inexpensive  — more  re- 
liable than  a  night  fireman. 

The  Standard  Thermostat  will 
rlntf  a  bell  whenever  your  green- 
house temperature  rises  or  falls  to 
the  danger  point,  flace  the  bell' 
at  your  bedside  or  anywhere  you 
please. 

This  is  a  word  to  the  wise— a  buy 

word  to  the  wise  grower.  Sudden 

temperature  ups  and  downs  ruin  ■ 

thousands   of    plants  every  year.

COUNT  YOXTE  COSTS. 

CCoDcluded  frum  page  112.] 

but  we  must  now.  It  should  be  consid- 
ered as  a  fixed  expense,  for  the  brush 
pile  will  always  be  a  part  of  the  nurs- 
ery business,  at  least  until  we  become 
blessed  with  a  foresight  that  will  en- 
able us  to  look  into  the  future  and  fore- 
cast conditions  and  the  state  of  the 
planter's  mind  a  few  years  in  advance 
of^our  planting. 

Beplacements  Add  to  Expense. 

The  item  of  replacements  is  another 
cost  that  many  of  us  do  not  take  into 
consideration  and,  while  it  is  something 
that  should  not  enter  into  the  business 
on  account  of  its  abuse,  it  has  become 
a  custom  to  make  replacements  under 
certjJn  conditions  and  in  many  in- 
BtShces  it  is  carried  to  extremes.  How- 
ever, whether  great  or  small,  it  is  a 
cost  that  must  be  charged  against  either 
the  growing  or  the  selling  of  the  stock. 

In  years  gone  by  these  items  did  not 
appear  to  be  worth  bothering  with,  but 
with  the  increased  cost  of  production 
they  must  be  taken  into  consideration, 
as  they  may  mean  the  difference  be- 
tween success  and  failure. 

The  point  I  wish  to  make  in  bringing 
out  these  matters  is  that  many  of  us  do 
not  know  what  our  stock  costs  us.  If 
we  did,  we  should  either  go  out  of  busi- 
ness or  grow  less  of  those  varieties  that 
are  the  most  hazardous.  Not  many  of 
us  would  grow  stock  that  we  knew 
would  not  sell  for  more  than  20  cents 
under  the  best  conditions,  if  we  knew 
that  it  was  going  to  cost  us  that  much 
to  grow  it;  but  when  we  fool  ourselves 
into  believing  that  it  is  only  going  to 
cost  us  10  cents,  we  go  blindly  ahead, 
thinking  that  we  are  going  to  make  100 
per  cent  on  our  investment.

KAHLER  REAL  RED  POTS 

The  new  quality  of  our  product  has  more  than  doubled  our  output  in  six  months.  Our 
experience  has  proved  the  necessity  for  a  TOUGH,  "REAL  RED,"  yet  very  POROUS 
flower  pot.    Allow  us  to  prove  our  statement  by  expressing  to  you  samples.

many  florists  had,  none  in  stock  and 
those  who  succeeded  in  getting  one  or 
two  dozen  plants  ponsidered- themselves 
fortunate.  These  j'plants  sold  at  $5  and 
$6  each.  Begonia<i  were  of  high  quality 
and  sold  at  from  $2  up.  Cyclamens  were 
also  excellent  and  ranged  in  price  from 
$3  to  $10.  Boston  ferns  sold  at  from  $2 
to  $12  each.  Cincinnati  red  cherries  and 
Jerusalem  cherries  sold  in  considerable 
quantities. 

Roses  were  scarce  and  high-priced. 
No.  1  roses  cost  at  wholesale  $15  per 
hundred  and  extras  were  $20  per  hun- 
dred. Carnations  were  also  high  in 
price,  retailing  at  from  $2.50  to  $5  per 
dozen.  Sweet  peas  sold  at  10  cents  per 
bloom  or  $2.50  for  a  bunch  of  twenty-five. 
Because  of  the  high  prices  of  cut  flowers, 
dealers  reserved  the  right  to  substitute 
plants  on  telegraph  orders,  if  the  flowers 
could  not  easily  be  obtained  or  if  the 
price  proved  prohibitive. 

Various  Notes. 

Growers  in  this  part  of  New  Jersey 
are  breathing  more  easily  since  the  set- 
tlement of  the  coal  strike.  "While  there 
was  no  actual  curtailment  of  the  coal 
supply,  there  was  danger  for  those  who 
only  had  a  small  supply  on  hand,  had 
the  strike  continued. 

Philips  Bros.,  938  Broad  street,  had  an 
excellent  Christmas  trade,  with  a  heavier 
sale  of  plants  than  of  cut  flowers. 

Henry  A.  Strobell,  931  Broad  street, 
found  azaleas  especially  scarce,  but 
poinsettias  and  many  other  potted  plants 
more  plentiful  than  a  year  ago. 

Fred  Wolfinger,  883  Broad  street,  had 
a  notably  attractive  Christmas  window 
display.  R-  B.  M.

A  STITCH  IN  TIME  SAVES  NINE 

If  you  haven't  gptten  your  houses  in  shape  for  the  Winter— now  is  the  time  to  do  it;  a  house  permanently 
permanited  with  PERMANITE  will  stand  the  wear  and  tear— it  will  be  on  tihe  job  even  though  it  may  be 
below  zero— and  the  temperature  on  the  inside  will  always  be  the  same.     < 

There  is  a  reason  for  this— and  you  kno^  it;  PERMANITE  is  elastic;  no  matfey  how  strong  the  wind 
may  be,  PERMANITE  will  giye— and  in  this  way  prevent  breakage  of  glass.  No  matter  how  cold  the 
weather  may  be— PERMANITE  does  not  harden;  cannot  fall  off  and  consequently  stays  wherever  it  has  been 
applied. 

All  in  all— PERMANITE  is  theideal„the  most  dependable  and',  after  ^11,  the  one  and  only  original 
Asbestos  Glazing  Cement  on  the  market— always  has  been  and  always  will  be  the  best  of  its  kind;  Winter 
or  Summer,  hot  or  cold,  PERMANITE  remains  unchanged,  never  hardens  and  is  guaranteed  to  outlast  putty 
three  to  four  times. 

Our  latesti  folder  on  PERMANITE,  which 
has  just  come  off  the  Press,  will  give  you  further 
information;  write  for  your  copy  today.

An  Elastic  Cement  That  Expands 
and    Contracts    With    the   Weather 

Make  your  greenhouse  weather-tight  with  Asbestfalt, 
the  elastic  cement  that  never  gets  hard,  cracks  or 
peels  in  cold  weather  or  runs  in  hot  weather.  11.26  a 
gallon. 

You  can't  get  anything  better  no  matter  how  much 
more  you  pay.  The  ingredients  are  of  the  purest; 
weighs  but  10  pounds  to  the  gallon. 

With  the  scarcity  of  coal  and  its  high  prices,  the 
careful  application  of  Asbestfalt  will  more  than  pay 
for  itself  by  keeping  your  greenbouse  air-tight. 


To  insure  best  results,  apply  Asbestfalt 
with  our  Liquid  Putty  Machine,  price 
$2.00.  With  every  barrel  purchase  of 
Asbestfalt,  one  machine  free.

DiCBUBBB  25.  1919.         ,      ->, 


CLEVELAND,  O. 


Tbe  Market. 

Last  week  stock  brightened  up  con- 
siderably. The  weather  was  cold  but 
bright,  which  helped  the  growers.  The 
general  line  of  holiday  wreaths,  baskets 
and  novelties  moved  well  and  many 
articles  cleaned  up  early.  Boses  were 
good  but  scarce.  Stevia  and  narcissi 
cleared  well.  Calendulas,  daisies  and 
other  novelties  were  in  demand.  Plants, 
especially  poinsettias,  cleaned  up  well. 
Boxwood,  pine  and  other  wreathing  was 
in  good  demand.  Holly  was  good  and 
what  there  was  of  it  cleaned  up  readily. 
Mistletoe  was  especially  scarce.  The 
market  was  well  supplied  with  greens. 

Various  Notes. 

A  truck-load  of  plants  from  Lorain, 
O.,  for  A.  M.  Albrecht  was  frozen  in 
transit. 

C.  B.  Knuth,  of  Euclid,  is  still  cutting 
mums  and  pompons  in  considerable  quan- 
tities. 

William  Kramer,  of  Bocky  Eiver,  is 
cutting  large  quantities  of  good  stevia.

DUIiUTH,  MINN. 


Tta0  Market. 

The  trade  of  last  week  was  mostly 
shopping  and  advance  orders  for  Christ- 
mas delivery.  Chrysanthemums  are  al- 
most over.  Boses  were  not  at  all  good 
last  week;  evidently  the  growers  were 
keeping  the  best  of  the  stock  for  the 
Christmas  trade.  There  has  been  a  good 
supply  of  stevia,  violets  and  greens.  In 
potted  plants,  the  market  has  had  a 
large  number  of  cyclamens,  poinsettias, 
ericas,  primroses,  solanums  and  peppers, 
which  sold  well.  Holly  and  boxwood 
wreaths  have  been  selling  well.  The 
holly  is  well  berried  this  year. 

Various  Notes. 

Charles  Stahbrodt  has  been  bringing 
in  some  fine  cinerarias  and  primulas.

Jab  Market. 

Last  week  this  city  was  in  the  grip 
of  one  of  the  severest  spells  of  cold 
weather  experienced  in  several  years. 
THe  thermometer  registered  as  low  as  18 
degrees  below  zero  and  many  green- 
house men  were  up  the  greater  part  of 
tfifi  first  two  or  three  nights  of  the  cold 
spell  in  order  to  keep  up  enough  heat 
in-Hheir  houses.  No  reports  have  come 
indicating  that  any  suffered  any  par- 
ticular loss  from  freezing.  Business 
lyas  not  so  active  as  in  other  years, 
presumably  because  of  the  severe 
weather.  Snow  flurries  have  been  fre- 
quent. Many  shipments  of  flowers  ar- 
rived late  and  many  were  badly  frozen, 
thus  fairly  crippling  the  market  and 
causing  much  disappointment.  Stock 
was  otherwise  in  excellent  shape  and 
good  prices  were  obtained. 

Boses  were  excellent.  There  has  not 
been  much  demand  for  American 
Beauties  of  late.  Cecile  Brunner  had 
a  small,  but  steady,  demand.  Cattleyas 
and  cypripediums  were  in  good  supply 
and  sold  fairly  well.  Carnations  were 
plentiful  and  of  good  quality.  Violets 
arrived  in  fair  quantities  and  sold  more 
freely  than  in  the  previous  week. 
Paper  White  narcissi  were  of  good  qual- 
ity, but  were  limited  in  supply. 
Bouvardia  was  seen  occasionally.  Calla 
lilies  were  in  fair  supply  and  sold  read- 
ily. Holly  was  disappointing,  arriving 
late,  with  few  berries  and  in  bad  condi- 
tion. Other  Christmas  greens  were  good. 
Poinsettias,  cherries,  peppers  and  other 
Christmas  plants  were  in  good  demand. 

Vaxious  Notes. 

E.  R.  Fry,  of  West  Main  street,  made 
a  specialty  of  Christmas  novelty  baskets 
and  wreaths.  He  has  had  a  heavy  de- 
mand for  funeral  work  also. 

H.  E.  Wilson,  of  88  East  Main  street, 
has  recently  opened  a  candy  depart- 
ment in  connection  with  his  store,  and 
has  an  elaborate  case  just  inside  the 
doorway.  He  says  that  he  finds  the  side 
line  quite  profitable,  for,  when  a  nice 
box  of  flowers  is  sent  to  a  customer, 
often  a  box  of  candy  is  included. 

J.  B.  Keller  Sons'  window  was  most 
artistic  in  its  Christmas  novelties  and

CALLA8 

WHITE  CALJUA  BULBS.  Clean,  aound  bulbt 
of  Calla  Aetliiopica,  the  popular  white  Calla, 
all  with  crown  shoots.  Figure  a  little;  suppose 
you  plant  1000  bulbs,  6  inches  each  way  and 
get  6  flowers  to  a  plant  (a  fair  average),  you 
are  making  $750.00  gross  on  250  square  feet  of 
bench  space  even  if  you  sell  the  flowers  as  low 
as  $1.50  per  dozen,  and  you  have  your  bulbs  to 
use  year  after  year.

— and  yours  will  look  like  this 


With  ridge  line,  header  line,  purlin,  eave  and  gutter  lines  and  glass  lap  lines 
mathematically  straight — with  interior  supports  and  cross  braces  giving  a  perfect 
illustration  of  perspective. 

And  here,  corab;ued  with  a  maximum  of  strength,  yuu  have  a  maximum  of  the  lightness 
and  brightness  so  essential  to  your  growing  success.  All  these  things  are  inherent, 
inseparable  and  integral  in  AGMCO  houses  of  whatever  type. 

Ponder  these  facts  — they   mean  money   to  you,   but  don't  ponder  too 
long,  for  the  building  season  is  almost  upon  us. 

You'll  have  your  plans  and  figures  sooner  if  you  write  today.

The  Florists'  Review 


Dkcembeu  25,  1919. 


Is  the  Steelwork  in  Your  Greenhouse  Riveted  Together? 

Most  likely  it  is  only  put  together  with  bolts.  These,  as  you  know,  can  never  be  drawn  up 
as  tight  as  rivets,  nor  can  they  be  drawn  up  evenly  tight.  Did  you  ever  think  what  would 
happen  if  some  of  these  bolts  loosened  up,  especially  in  a  wind  storm  ? 

The  above  cut  shows  men  in  our  own  factory  Aof-riveting  steel  trusses.  Our  steelwork  is 
all  made  that  way.     No  wind  can  ever  make  it  come  apart. 

It  is  not  a  bit  too  early  to  get  estimates  on  your  building  operations.     Just  drop  us  a  line.
