Hamiltun, Ont. — A local paper states
that the recently incorporated Robert
Evans Seed Company, In order to start
in with fresh stock, cremated the seeds of
the old concern on December 28. The In-
ventory of the goods thus destroyed
footed up $3,685.22.
Cincinnati Seed Trade.— In some
kinds of seed, says the Enquirer ,Cincinnati
handles more than any otlier point,
though 1 I others this market is exceeded.
Taken all together, however, Cincinnati
lays claim to being the largest market
for all kinds of seeds In the country next
after Chicago. After Cincinnati will come
St. Louis, and then the other cities of im-
portance. It is ea y to see how this con-
dition of affairs is brought about. In
the first place, the three cities of Chicago,
Cincinnati and St. Louis are in such loca-
tion* as to be the points to which the
seed that is raised is naturall.v tributary.
In the handling of blue grass, red top
and orchard grass Cincinnati leads the
country, and, indeed, the world. In the
handling of timothy and flax seed Chi-
cago will lead, and Toledo Is recognized
as the market for clover seed. In the
handling of other kinds of seeds Cincin-
nati will follow Chicago and lead .St.
Louis, as already stated, so that this
rank will be kept up when the total busi-
ness Is taken Into consideration. The
principal business of the local seed deal-
ers Is in the handling of the following
kinds of seeds, they being named about
in the order of their importance as to
quantities: Clover, timothy, blue grass,
red top, orchard grass, meadow fescue,
sunflower, popcorn, onion sets, all kinds
of garden seeds and flower seeds. Of
clover seed, 30,000 bags of 2'/^ bushels to
the bag, and at an average price of f5..50
per bag, were handled here last year;
about60,000bagsof timothyseed: 100,-
000 bushels of blue grass seed; 150,000
bushels of red top; 80,000 pounds of or-
chard grass seed; 3,000 bushels of mea-
dow fescue. There are five houses exten-
sively engaged in the business, and a Cin-
cinnati man (Albert McCullough) Is pres-
ident of the American Seed Trade Asso-
ciation, elected for the second time.
San Fi^ncisco.
At a recent meeting of the State Floral
Society It was decided to call a floral
congress lo meet in this city next .Spring
simultaneously with the holding of the
__regular .Spring exhibition. Delegates will
— be Invited from all parts of ihe State,
^and for the first time in her history Call-
— fornla will be given an oi porturiity to
tell what she Is doing along the lines of
■*flower cultureand development, in which
-•she has attained a world-wide celebrity.
^ A report received from the committee
in charge of the Fall flowershow demon-
strates that thisexhibltlon will turnover
a neat balance of cash to the society's
credit.
(1) Removing^ Stains ifrom] Cro-
ton Foliage. — Sponge the leaves occa-
sionally with soap and water, syringing
them afterwards with clear water.
(2) Backwardness of Violet.s. —
Violets are backward all over this year.
The Fall has been unusually mild and
warm, and the plants have made plenty
of large, soft growth, but have produced
few flowers. Violets, to bloom well, need
cool, clear weather.
(3) Nicoticide.— The manufacturers
inform us that one of the chief virtues
claimed for this substance Is, while It is
most deadly to insect life, it is perfectly
harmless to the most delicate blooms
and foliage.
Will some of our readers who have used
Nicoticide oblige us with a brief account
of the results obtained.
(4) Yield of American Beauty. —
Under favorable conditions how many
American Beauty roses can be cut daily
from a house containing 3,000 plants"?
It 500 werecut per day, with a market for
them all, don't you think it would be well
to raise American Beauty exclusively?
—If the American Beauty plants are
well taken care of, they might average
somewhere between 75 and 125 blooms
per day, taking the whole season
through. The idea that they will average
500 flowers per day is outside all bounds
of reason; that would mean that each
plant would produce five flowers per
month, which is utterly Impossible.
(5) liime Water for Roses. — What
strength should lime water be used for
rose ijlants infested with worms? Has
any remedy been discovered that will de-
stroy the pest without injury to the ruse
plants?
— .\o damage will arise from using the
lime water too strong forthe roses. The
water will only absorb a certain quan-
tity of lime anyway. Place a peck or so
of unslaked lime in a barrel, then fill up
with water. Next day the water can be
taken out without disturbing the lime In
the bottom, and the barrel refilled with
water, to be used on the following day.
A peck of lime is good for 50 gallons "of
water.
(6) Expansion Tank.— Please say
if one expansion tank would work all
right, placing it above a flow pipe 2 feet
from a boiler, and be as satisfactory as
four tanks, for 13 runs of 2-iuch pipe, 7,5
feet long, in my two greenhouses? I
should like to have the expansion tank
in shed if possible. — Subscriber.
— One tank will give as good results as
four, but It will need to be slightly higher
than the most elevated point In the sys-
tem. If the flow pipes run uphill there
should be an air cock or vent-pipe wher-
ever needed to let out the air. When they
run down hill, and the expansion tank Is
connected with the highest point in the
system, no air-cocks are required. — L. R.
Taft.
(7) Spiraeas for Memorial Day. —
Immerse the rootsin water for a few ino-
raents, so as to wet them clear through,
then pot into 7 or 8-lnch pots, using any
ordinary potting soil. Place the pots
under a bench, in the coolest house at
command; give them a good watering
and let them remain there until the first
of March. If a cool place under some of
the benches is not available, the pots had
better he put Into a shed from which
frost Is excluded; then they may be
placed under a bench by the first of Feb-
ruary, and remain there three or four
weeks, afterwards being given full light.
In either case, get them on the benches
by the beginning of March, and they will

out any undue forcing.
(8) Heating.— Please inform me if
the steam boiler, as below described, is
large enough to heat five houses, each
100 by 20 feet, 10 feet to ridge pole, all
full span, running east and west, 4-foot
double boards with tar felt between.
Houses are all together, temperature re-
i|nired 55 to 60 degrees; outside temper-
ature Bini'times goesaslow as 18 below
/■ TO. It I? i>n upright boiler, height 8
f •i, dinnutcr 3 feet 3 Inches, 76 2-Inch
fli'ps. I Hch Hue 5 feet 6 Inches in length;
2'/>inch II )" , and 11/2 return; 20 horse
po'.vcr.— F. <:. r.
—The ai'u.il horsepower required to
lie.'t the fi''e houses is about 25, but a
'iiiil-rol tliiw size would require frequent
.'ttentlon, and it will be economy in
lal>.»r to "pe a boiler five or ten horse-
power larger. The upright boiler de-
sci-i'ierl is probably slightly over-rated,
and although It would answer In mild
weather, it is not mmh more than one-
half as large as Is needed for the best re-
sults.—L. R. Taft.
I intend to change my heating system
next Summer. Am now using hot water,
in 2-inch pipes. Would llketo know how
many 2-Inch pipes It would take to heat
a house 26 x 120 feet, five-foot walls and
one house 18 x 100 feet, and Joining each
other with wall between. Will heat to
60 degrees, with temperature outside
occasionally at 15 below zero. — S. N.
Pentecost.
— The number of pipes required will be
varied slightly by the amount of glass in
the roofs, and as this cannot be deter-
mined accuratel.v bythe^lata furnished,
the answer must be merely approximate.
For the wide house the number of pipes
will probably he either 17 or 18, while
12 or 1.3 should answer for the narrow
house. A good rule to go b.v Is: Use one
pipe more than one-half the number of
feet in the roof measured over the ridge
from plate to plate.— L. R. Taft.

Christmas Trade Report.
Good weather helped to make the
Christmas business go pleasantly: on
Thursday It was mild, enabling all the
stores to fill up with plants without
much trouble. Friday wa« very cold:
Saturday, Sunday and Monday. coniTju-
atlvely mild, so that plants curld Ic
easily boxed. Trade was away abend of
that of other years; I would say 30 per
cent. The olderestabllshraents sold con-
siderably more than last ,vear, and
Wright, our new florist, had all he could
do. All had large and good stock of
plants, each with some line especially

Sowing Seeds of Varieties. — Notic-
ing a friend of mine gathering up acorns
from his tree of Quercus robur fastigiata,
I was led to say to him what I will re-
peat to your readers, viz., that such
acorns cannot be depended on to repro-
duce fastigiate trees. In an experiment
some years ago where quite a lot of such
acorns were sown, there were some, but
not a great many, which would pass for
the true fastigiata. Some were partly
fastigiate, others not at all. This is a
law with all varieties to a more or less
extent, and no nurseryman sows weeping
birch, weeping beech and like trees with
theexpectationot raislnga stock of weep-
ers. But they do sow seeds of the blood-
leaved beech and gain results worth
while. Barely are the seedlings of as
deep a purple as the parent, and here and
there may be one almost green, but usu-
ally there Is enough color to make tbe
seedlings very useful for selling as copper
beech. In many nurseries this, in fact,
is the distinction. The purple beech is a
grafted plant from a rich purple; copper
beeches are seedlings. The true purple
beech is not at all a close grower when
young, such as the common European
(sylvatica) is. The copper beeches are
more bushy than the purple, approach-
ing the common green one in this respect.
Those who have seeds of such trees as
touched upon should sow them, for the
interest attached to watching the varia-
tions in seedlings.
Nurserymen's Tying Willows. — In
large nurseries where thousands ot bun-
dles of shrubs and trees have to be tied
In a season, the question of what mate-
rial to use for the purpose is an Impor-
tant one. Judging from what one sees of
the bundles sent out by different firms,
the willow is the favoriteforthe purpose.
There is really nothing more satisfactory
than this. The one mostly used is For-
bayna, a species which will twist and
bend in almost any way without break-
ing, though there are quite a number of
others which are as good. One thing
which particularly recommends this wil-
low is that it makes a good length with-
out a thick stem, while having all the
strength desired. The names of willows
are in such confusion that it is hardly
possible to say with certainty what
certain sorts may be, unless it be some
with marked characteristics, such as
pentandra, Japonica and some others of
distinctive foliage or wood. In nurseries
embracing a damp piece of ground, there
is an ideal place for willows, but they
may be planted in any out-of-the-way
place and they will yield a nice lot ot
young tying shoots ever.v year. The
practice is to cut the tops clean off every
.Spring, that a fresh lot may be ready
the next season. Where water Is atcom-
mand, the whole lot is as wpII cut at
once and stood in water and used as
wanted, hut where this cannot be done
cutting them as required will do. only
do not miss cutting off the whole lot,
used or not, before the time for fresh
growth arrives. Cuttings of willow
made in Winter and set out in early
Spring rarely fail to grow.
Sequoia Gigantea, the Big Tree of
California. — Inquiries often come to
nurserymen for the mammoth tree, Se-
quoia gigantea, and as these requests are
usually fruitless, it has led to the com-
mon belief that this beautiitul tree is not
hardy here. This supposition is incor-
rect. At least, speaking for this vicinity,
eastern Pennsylvania, and also for
Rochester, N. Y., it is perfectly hardy.
The trouble has not been from lack of
being able to stand the climate in Win-
ter, but a fungus attacks the lower
branches of the tree, destroying them,
and leaving but a tuft of green branches
at the tops. At least this has been our
difficulty. Occasionally a tree would be
exempt from it and would flourish, such
as one, a notable exception, on the bat-
tle ground of Germantown. This is a
pretty specimen, about 25 feet high. It
would have been a much larger tree than
it is but lor its being crowded liy other
large trees, many of historical interest,
which the owner naturally does not wish
to disturb. There is another tree prom-
ising to make a good one in time, not
a great distance from that mentioned.
For many years it suffered annually the
loss of its lower branches by the disease
spoken ot, but the owner took to spray-
ing it with Bordeaux mixture, which
effected a complete change. To-day, in-
stead of but a tierortwo of live branches
at the top, all that have been made for
fiveor six years are alive, and give prom-
ise of remaining so. This rare and
gigantic growing evergreen would be
planted on all fair-sized estates, were it
known that it is but a question of spray-
ing and not of hardiness. It has the
reputation of being rather difficult to
transplant, but there have been so few
attempts at cultivation on account of
the difficulty of obtaining the trees, that
there can be but little practical knowl-
edge on the subject in the East.
All the Californlan nurseries keep this
sequoia, and a few plants procured and
grown in pots, so as to Insure their
transplanting in safety, would doubtless
find a ready sale. Of all evergreens I can
think of at the present time, this sequoia
more nearly resembles Cryptomeria ja-
ponica than any of the others.
Borers in Trees. — The keeping of
trees uninjured by borers is something
that all gardeners wish to accomplish,
and therefore the remarks of your corre-
spondents, L. K.C.Bailey Co., in a recent
Issue, are very interesting. The tenor of
the article is that prevention Is better
than cure, to which we all agree. The
plan proposed by them, viz.— the placing
ot paper around the trees— is quite effica-
cious. It is one of the oldest means em-
ployed for the purpose in these parte,
and not only is it good to prevent the
borer getting to the liark, but if smeared
with something greasy it will keep
rabbits from gnawing the bark as well.
Almost anything greasy will also pre-
vent thedepredations of both. Even axle
grease has been used b.v many to good
purpose, but some havedeclared that the
tar in it is injurious to the trees. Con-
sidering everything, the bandaged look
of a tree with paper tied around its base,
and the undesirability of grease or ill-
smelling washes, such as carbolic soap,
applied to it, many a one, in fact most
every one here, relies on going the rounds
twice a year and cutting out with a
sharp-pointed kinfe and a piece of wire
any borer that may have found a lodg-
ment in tbe bark. When this plan is
adopted it is a paying work to mound up
slightly about trees supposed to be In
peril early in Spring. The borer lays its
eggs at about the surface of the ground,
sometimes slightly below it, so that by
raking aside thelittlemoundat examina-
tion periods, tbe grubs, if any, will be
found at a height above the ground,
easier to get at than the proper surface.
There are quite a number of trees at-
tacked by borers. As I write there comes
to mind among fruits, quince, cherry
when on mahaleb, peach and plum; and
among ornamentals, flowering peacb,
plum and almond, mountain ash, Euro-
pean linden, blood beech, hawthorns of
the European class, besides maples,
birches and other trees, which, so far,
have been injured to a lesser degree than
those particularly mentioned. Not all
gardeners know that all the trees named
are in peril. Quite old hands are some-
times surprised to learn that hawthorn
and purple beech are included in the list.
The hawthorn is attacked at the base,
as the L. C. K. Bailey Co, say, as are all
fruit trees practically, but the beech will
be bored far up from the ground, so that
papering would be impracticable. Man.v
gardeners and nursery foremen do, and all
should, keep a memorandijm book in
which work to be done CO noted, and
among others should be i jiaKt of t c^es to
be examined in early a'is. ite ^sj imer

Planting Street Trees.
The planting and care of street trees is
a subject of more than passing interest.
Few appreciate the transformation in
residential districts, both In urban and
suburban communities, by the proper
development of well-planted streets. The
results in improved appearance, general
attractiveness and comfort during the
Summer season are most favorable and
out of all proportion to thecomparatively
small cost. This has been especially
marked in Washington, Minneapolis and
other cities where a comprehensive sys-
tem of street planting has been carried in-
to practical effect. Paris and some of the
other foreign cities also furnish striking
examples of the beauty and benefit to be
derived from municipal undertakings of
this kind.
There is no reason why the planting
and care of street trees should not be pro-
vided for under requisite municipal au-
thority, plain and suitable direction, the
same as other street improvements.
The magnificent lines of street and
avenue trees on almost every residence
street in Washington have been planted
and cared for by a commission, created
as a branch of the District government,
having full authority over all street-
planting matters in the city. In Minne-
apolis and some other cities this power
is vested in the Park Commission, with
authority to plant, protect, prune and
otherwise care for the trees, and In some
cases to levy assessments against abut-
ting property tor the cost of the trees as
assessments are usually levied for street
improvements.
The success resulting where general
systems of street tree-planting are being
carried out have been so pronounced and
the general benefits so great, it is strange
that similar action is not being more
rapidly taken in all growing communities,
where such improvements are as a rule
more readily appreciated.
Under an act of the Legislature, ap-
proved March 28,1898, New Jersey has al-
ready the requisite legislation enabling
any city, township, borough orvillage to
inaugurate a street tree-planting system
as a part of the municipal function.
The method of application as well as
the provisions of this law are readily
understood, easily applied, direct and
comprehensive In effect.
The city of Passaic was one of the first
of the cities to adopt the law, and sev-
eral thousand trees have already been
planted there by the commission ap-
pointed under the act. Other cities and
towns have also taken proceedings under
the law for the proper planting of the
public streets, which action has met with
general approval.
Perhaps one of the most favorable
features of this law isthatunderits oper-
ation any or all streets can be planted
uniformly with a consistent continuous
treatment, rather than the hit-or-miss
" hodge-podge" planting that is invaria-
bly carried out (owing to the diversified
tastes and ideas of different property
owners) in the absence of a comprehen-
sive plan of dealing with a street as a
whole. — F. W. Kelsey in the New York
Tribune.
Ithaca, N. Y.— Christmas trade here
was fully 33 per cent, larger than last
year's, and doubtless would have shown
a greater increase had not cut flowers
been so high and the supply equal to the
demand. Long weeks of dull weather
preceding Christmas kept everything
back, although last week was more like
Easter In temperature; still we were fa-
vored with few bright days. The market
was flooded with holly, much of that
offered by grocers and others being of
poor quality. The florists were more
fortunate and, as a general rule, had
good berried stock, which was sold out
clean. There was a noticeable falling off
in the call for palms and araucariaa.
Flowering plants, such as azaleas, bego-
nias, hyacinths, cinerarias, narcissus,
primulas, etc., sold well. Fern dishes,
too, were in good demand. Incut flowers
roses had first call, and the supply fell far
short of the demand. Carnations also
were much sought for, but the demand
could not be supplied. The prices of
flowers were : Roses, $2 to $5 per dozen :
carnations, 60c.; Paper Whites, 75c.; lily
of the valley, 75c. ; hyacinths, 50c.— H. Y.

Please find enclosed my additional orders for seeds. The
seeds I bought of you early this season have come up extra
fine. I am certainly much pleased with them. I will give

Identical with the above in general habit,

BRIEFS FOR BUSY FLORISTS.
Carnations. — The propagtion ot stock
for the coming year should begin now.
It is a mistake to wait until Spring ap-
proaches, so that all the stock needed
can be put into the sand at one time.
Commence taking cuttings at this time,
and take only those from sound, healthy
plants. By pursuing the principle of
careful selection for cuttings, the next
year's stock is sure to be as good, if not
better than that of the present year, but,
if careful selection be not carried out, a
lot of weak plants next Fall that are not
worth planting in the greenhouse will
result. Never take cuttings from the
plants when the latter are at all dry.
Have the sand in the propagating bed
thoroughly clean, and insert the cuttings
quite firmly. Excessive bottom heat is
unnecessary, yet it is better to have some
of it, otherwise too long a time is re-
quired in the process of rooting. If a
sand temperature of 65 degrees can be
maintained, no trouble will be experl-
Ienced in rooting. Thecuttings need some
shade from the sun when first put in the
sand; this can be afforded by either lay-
ing paper over them, or tacking some
thin muslin or cheesecloth to the sash
bars directly overhead. If paper be used,
it should be removed every evening, and
replaced in the morning.
Primula obconica. — Although these
plants are already flowering, they may
be given another shift into larger pots
and their period of usefulness be therebil
grealty extended. Use a good rich soy
and be sure to provideplenty of drainage
in the bottom of the pot. If this plant
once becomes water-logged, it rarely gets
over it.
Alternantheras.— Give these a posi-
tion as near the glass as possible, and,
if it is desired to get them growing
quickly so as to produce cuttings, give
them a warmer housethan that In which
they have been since brought in In the Fall.
Do "not attempt to take cuttings until
they are about a couple of inches in
length; there is nothing gained by tak-
ing them when they are almost too
short to handle.
There are some seeds that may be
sown at any time now, particularly ver-
bena, gloxinia, centaurea, canna, musa,
lobelia and pansy. The canna and musa
seed should have a soaking in warm
water, or, have the hard shell just broken
with a saw flle, then they will germinate
In much less time than if sown without
being so treated.

Some Interesting Climbers.
The genus clematis comprises some
climbers that recommend themselves
both by neat growth and by a profusion
of rich and often fragrant bloom. The
range in these respects is sufBcient to
meet most demands for plants suitable
for training to veranda pillars, as well
as tor screens to clothe unsightly walls
or to hide other undesirable features In
the view. The Kansas Experiment Sta-
tion has had the more important plants
of this group on trial for several years,
and the following notes upon the beha-
vior of some of ttiem in that locality are
presented as of interest to growers.
Clematis Jackmanni, a hybrid form,
with reasonable care, is fairly hardy and
satisfactory. Its flowers are four to six
rayed, of a rich velvety purple, and when
well grown measure four to six inches
across. They are produced abundantly
upon green wood of the season's growth,
either from buds on old wood or from
the crown of the plant after the old
wood is killed back by the Winter. It is
best grown with an eastern or north-
eastern exposure, and wherever placed
should be given a good bed of rich, black
while somewhatlessneat in growth than
the preceding, is greatly improved under
cultivation, and deserves a place in every
collection. Its flowers are single, bell-
shaped, about an inch in length, and of a
dull purple color, followed by conspicu-
ous silky seed-clusters. It is perfectly
hardy.
Clematis flammula, the European fra-
grant " Virgin's-bower," has shown itself
with us a very desirable wall plant. The
growth is strong and in prutected situa-
tions nearly or quite hardy, furnishing,
in average seasons, its pure white, star-
shaped, fragrant flowers in great profu-
sion throughout late Summer. The foli-
age is of a healthy rich green, the leaves
remaining on the plant until midwinter.
After flowering the plant is still conspicu-
ous by reason of the abundant feathery
seed-clusters.
Clematis panieulata,a Japanese species
much like the foregoing, is apparently
still more vigorous and hardy, and on
account of the large flowers also more
beautiful. Since its introduction it has
become a great favorite as a veranda or
wall climber, and it may be seen in good
condition in many city and country
places in eastern Kansas. Tlie flowers

loam, with Winter protection for the
roots in the form of a heavy mulch ol
well-rotted manure. The wood some-
times lives through the cold weather
without serious injury, but it is better
to lay down the vines and protect them
with a good covering of clean soil, leaves
or hay. Upon replacing the vines in
Spring all weakened parts should be cut
off, and for the largest flowers the sound
branches should also be cut well back.
This is the most satisfactory of the hy-
brid clematis varieties.
Clematis Henryi, another hybrid, bear-
ing Mix or seven rayed flowers, creamy
white, and of the largest size, is a free
bloomer and a striking plant, but has
stiown itself much less hardy here than
the preceding, under the same treatment.
Its general growth and cultural require-
ments are the same. Its showy and
abundant bloom render it worthy to be
grown in large pots or tubs tor veranda
decoration, the plans being removed dur-
ing Winter to a cool cellar, to prevent in-
jur.v by frost.
Clematis viticella, a species native to
southern Europe, is grown with fair suc-
cess. It is moderately vigorous, with
lilac or purple flowers, four-rayed,
spreading about two and one-halt
Inches. Where variety is desired this spe-
cies may be admitted, but for display it
isquite inferior to its hybrid, Jackmanni,
and Is little superior to it in hardiness.
Clematis viorna, the " leather flower,"
native to the eastern United .States,
varies in the Southwest into the more
Ijeautiful red-flowered form coccinea.
The form is a slender vine of neat growth,
with solitary bell shaped flowers about
an Inch in length. When well grown the
plant attains a height of eight feet, and
by its clean habit is well adapted to the
purposes of pillar a plant. It is only of
moderate hardiness, demanding a favor-
able situation and Winter covering.
Clematis Pitcheri, growing wild in
copses throughout eastern Kansas,
being produced upon new growth, the
best results are produced by close prun-
ing where the wood survives. This spe-
cies and the flammula do well when fully
exposed to the sun if their roots be in
soil rich, deep and cool. Where but a
single clematis can be grown, the panicu-
lata will prove the most satisfactory in
ordinary treatment.
Clematis virginiana, or "Native Vir-
gin's-bower," grows wild in some of the
eastern counties of this State, forming a
strong woody vine of rampant growth,
perfectly hardy In good soil. It is useful
as a screen plant, though in beauty much
inferior to the two preceding. Its abun-
dant flowers are small and creamy white,
and are followed by numerous feathery
seed-clusters. It spreads naturally by
layering, and may soon be brought to
covera largespaee, appearing to greatest
advantage in the less formal parts of the
lawn, as on a rocky slope or against a
rough wall. From such a base It will
climb upward into the lower branches of
an overhaning tree, when its true use
and beauty are fully apparent.

Saved by a Portable Engine.
On Sunday morning, December 16, the
60 horse power boiler bursted in the
establishment of Ant. C. Zvolanek, Grand
View. N. J., which comprises some
10,000 square feet of glass. By the
prompt and willing assistance of his
many friends, an engine such as is used
b.v farmers for threshing grain was pro-
cured, and by 4 o'clock of the same day
steam was "being supplied through a
1-lnch pipe running from the dome of the
engine and connecting with the large
main of the greenhouses which furnishes
the entire place. The main return was
disconnected from the damaged boiler to
allow the exhaust steam to pass out.

the second engine was obtained, and by
means of the two 55 to 70 degrees was
kept up. The engines were In use for five
nights, or until the damaged boiler had
been repaired. C. W. C.

West Hoboken, N. J.— The West
Boboken Bowling Club met as usual
Wednesday night, but the fact of its
being thie nightafter New Year had some
effect onthe scores, as will be seen below.
Several of the members, viz., Englin,
Fischer, Dietz, Stelnhoff, Kogge, Kornlch
and Lehnig, did not show up at all. As
for Hillebrecht, his absence will be ac-
counted for later. Poodles were rather
more in evidence than usual, but having
frankfurter tor supper may account for
that. Outside of several disputes as to
the numberof pins at theendof thealley,
the game passed of with the usual good
fellowship. After wishing each other a
Happy New Year and pledging ever-
lasting friendship, they decided to roll
one game. The score follows :

THe f=I-ORlSTS* EXCHHISGE.
Lynn, Mass.— As a whole the Christ-
mas trade was somewhat better than in
former years. The weather was fine, no
coverius being required.
Plants were even soid from a wagon
on the streets. Cut flowers of all liinds
soid out clean. Carnation took the lead,
especially red varieties. A great many
more could have been disposed of; 75c.
to f 1.25 was the ruling price. Violets
also sold well at $2 to $2.50 per 100.
Ruses were in good demand. . Not very
much bulbous stock was about, but all
sold well.
Plants are gaining in favor each year;
flowering stock sold best. Cyclamen,
primroses and Begonia Gloire de Lor-
raine were the leaders. Small palms and
Boston terns were also in favor. Fern
dishes were in good demand; no novel-
ties were noted. Holly and evergreen
sold in about the same quantities as last
year. There is very little money In hand-
ling this stock, as every grocer.v and fruit
store sells it. Church decorations show
no improvement over other years; the
church people seem to be afraid of the
florists at Christmas. Our city will not
stand any fancy prices, but plants and
flowers at a reasonable figure will con-
tinue to be in great demand.— J. M.

William Toole, Baraboo, Wis., has been
elected president of the Sauk County
Horticultural Society.
The new century is giving a new impe-
tus in many directions; let its force be
lelt in our florists' club attendances
throughout the whole country.
There recently were exhibited before
the scientific committee of the Royal
Horticultural Society, England, some
branches of a chrysanthemum plant,
showing a pendent, or weeping proclivi-
ty. Eleven seedlings were obtained from
a cross of Eva Knowles and Viscountess
Hambleden, each of which showed the
peculiarity named.
Among the good resolutions which you
are making for the new century and New
Yea? Include the following: To subscribe
for Tbe Florists' Exchange; to become
a member of your local florists' club or
society, also of the S. A. F. O. H. These
are all steps necessary to be taken in the
best interests of every up-to-date florist,
be he grower, wholesaler, or retail
merchant.
Chris Hansen sued the St. Paul Gas
Light Company for $20,000 damages,
caused to his greenhouse stock by gas
escaping from the main. The gas com-
pany demurred and its position was sus-
tained by the district court. The supreme
court, however, reversed the order sus-
taining the demurrer.
John Spalding, the veteran florist of
New London, Conn., celebrated his i?6th
birthday on Christmas. Mr. Spalding's
eyesight has seriously failed him within
a few years past; and although able to
walk about his greenhouses, he is unable
to leave the conttues ol his property un-
attended.
What's the matter with Boston? Only
one florist's club meeting a year; witb a
decision to increase the number of gath-
erings to four per annum; and that, too,
for the Hub of the universe and the cen-
ter of culture! Fie, lie, gentlemen!
There's " something for each of you still
to do" in club matters. Get together —
oftener. Really, what is the matter with
Boston?
At Quincy House, Boston, Dec. 27, the
Horticultural Club had its annual busi-
ness meeting, followed by dinner. About
20 members were present. President
Jackson Dawson presided. The annual
election resulted in the re-election o( Mr.
Dawson as president; T. S. Davis, secre-
tary, and M. H. Norton, treasurer. After
the dinner a paper on "The Shrubs of
New England" was given by President
Dawson.
In the schedule of the American Rose
Society, for Its forthcoming show to be
held.in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, New
York, in March next, great encourage-
ment is given to exhibitors of rose plants
by the excellent prizes provided. The
sparsity of rose plants at last year's ex-
hibition was remarked; and it is to be
hoped that our rosarians will take ad-
vantage of the grand opportunities
afforded this year, and add to the attrac-
tiveness of the display by exhibiting
plants in goodly numbers. Copies of the
premium list can be obtained of Secre-
tary Barron, 136 Liberty Street, New
York.
In some remarks on the past Christmas
trade in New York City, appearing in
our contemporary, American Gardening,
the writer seems to have gone awry in
his statistics. He says the volume of
trade, for that day, in Greater New York
amounted; at retail, to three-quarters of
a million dollars; and commenting on
the sales of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine
aud ericas, mentions that possibly 100 -
000 of the former and 20,000 of the latter
were disposed of. According to the fig-
ures given two-thirds of the value repre-
senting the total amount of the Christ-
mas business done would be constituted
by the sales of these two staples. As a
matter of fact, less than one-tenth of the
stated number of Begonia Gloire de Lor-
raine was disposed of in the metropolis,
and it is a question whether 100,000
plants of this begonia were sold or avail-
able in the whole of the Duited States for
the Christmas holiday. The number of
ericas sold, as given, is also wide of the
mark.

Sn.NBEAM, light pink. Thislsan entirely
new shade of wliat is generally called
flesh pink. Flowers of good form; size
averaging three inches, borne on stiff,
wiry stems from 24 to 30 inches long;
free from disease and a very strong,
healthy grower. Produces more blooms
per plant and bench space than any
other variety known, regardless ol color.
Bon Homme Richaed, white. This
Bower has a fine form and at times will
show the faintest flush of light pink on
the petals, which fades out entirely as the
flower matures; even when discernible
It detracts none from Its beauty.
Blooms will average three inches, on
strong, wiry stems, two and one-half to
three feet long. The habit of the plant Is
such that plants in our benches with
from 30 to 35 buds on, and flower spikes,
stand very comfortably in the model wire
support. It will produce 50 per cent,
more blooms than White Cloud aud
command the same price when grown
under the same conditions.
Nydia, variegated. The ground work
ol the flower is pure white, striped with
light salmon, which with its splendid
form gives an extremely beautiful effect
in a vase for decorative purposes. A
grand keeper, Improving as the flower
ages. Not as large as Mrs. George M.
Bradt but will produce twice the number
of blooms. Stems are very strong, from
20 to 26 inches in length; aud the health
and habit of the plant are of the best.
Pkolifica, cerise pink. A shade deeper
than Mrs. T. W. Lawson, average size ol
blooms three to three and one-hall inches,
with strong, stiff stems, from two and
one-half to three feet in length. An idea
as to its freedom can be had from the
fact that a representative of the trade
papers counted on the original plant
three .seasons ago 16 open flowers, 14
large buds, and an abundance of new
spikes showing below.

Fumigating Violets witli
Hydrocyanic Acid Gas.
The following Item appeared in a the is-
sueol the Baltimore Sun, of December20,
also a summary of same in the American
Agriculturist:
"The florists in Baltimore City and
over a wide area of the United States
have been having great difiBcu Ity recently
with a small black Insect— the black fly,
or aphis — on violets in greenhouses,
which has destroyed thousands of plants
this season. The subject was discussed
at the last meeting of the Baltimore Gar-
deners' Club, and Prof. W. G. Johnson,
State Entomologist, requested thatsome
member permit him to experiment In a
house infested with these insects. Thos.
H. Patterson granted the use ol one ol
his large greenhouses at Waverly. On
Saturday Prof. Johnson, with Prof.
To wnsend, State Pathologist, fumigated
the greenhouse, which was so overrun
with insects that the plants were almost
ruined. In less than an hour the entire
house had been fumigated and every
creature destroyed. Hydrocyanic acid
gas was used and the plants were ex-
posed to its fumes for 32 minutes.
"Mr. Patterson said the experiment
was of great value to him and that in the
future he would certainly have no ditfi-
culty in keeping his violets free from this
Insidious pest. John M. Rider and the
Lehr Bros., florists, of Brooklyn, Md.,
who witnessed the experiment, also ex-
pressed great satisfaction at the results.
The entire cost of the fumigation of this
house, which is 65 x 10 x 9 feet, was less
than 40 cents for the chemicals used. The
rapidity with which the gas is generated
and its insignificant cost make this one
of the most valuable remedies for insects
of this nature ever discovered.
" Prof. Johnson said that no florist need
have his plants overrun and ruined by
this pest. The gas is a very deadly poi-
son and must of necessity be handled
very carefully, but there is no danger
whatever If the proper precautions are
taken. It was generated in this instance
at the rate of fifteen-hundredths of a
gram of cyanide per cubic foot of space
inclosed. The entire house on this basis
required only 19 ounces (by weight) of
cyanide, about 30 ounces (Hquid measure,
of commercial sulphuric acid and 45
ounces of water."
At our request. Prof. Johnson kindly
furnishes the following supplementary
details regarding this experiment and
the value of hydrocyanic acid gas, as an
insecticide, generally:
Later developments have shown that
a few of the liceescaped the deadly fumes
of this gas. We have arranged to refu-
migate the house some time during the
first week in January. However, such a
very large percentage of the insects were
destroyed by the first fumigation, the
plants have made a new start and the
chances are now that they will become
a source of profit before Spring; they
were in such a serious condition that the
owner, Mr. Patterson, had given up any
hopes of handling them for any purpose
whatever.
Talking recently with Dr. Albert F.
Woods, Chief of the Division of Physiol-
ogy and Pathology, Dnited States De-
partment of Agriculture, and one of his
assistants, Mr. Dorsett, I was informed
that they could not grow violets in any
instance in this vicinity, without regu-
larly fumigating them with hydrocyanic
acid gas. They fumigate regularly each
house about once a month, or as occa-
sion demands, as the insects develop
slowly when the fumigation is carried on
at regular intervals. Mr. Dorsett stated
that about six weeks had elapsed since
the last fumigation of his house, in which
he has a large number of violets grow-
ing. He says the plants are in fine con-
dition at this time. This is in striking
contrast to the violets grown under
glass, in the vicinity of Baltimore and
Washington this season, where no fumi-
gation has been followed up in a system-
atic manner.
Persons using this gas on violets should
be careful, using it, as a rule, notstronger
than at the rate of fifteen hundredths
(.15) of a gramme per cubic foot ol
space enclosed. This is particularly true
of the double varieties; the single violets
are more or less sensitive to gas of this
strength and should be handled rather
cautiously. The time of fumigation
should vary from 20 to 30 minutes. In
our work we have seen no bad effects
upon the plants themselves, and the very
quick diffusion of the gas in the house
and the ease and simplicity with which
it is handled, make it one of the very best
and most Important insecticides that we
have ever used under glass, and in many
other enclosures. The United States De-
partment of Agriculture has erected a
house with a view of continuing their ex-
periments under glass, under the immed-
iate direction of Dr. B. T. Galloway, the
Chief of the newly-created Division of
Plant Introduction, which now embraces
the Divisions of Gardens and Grounds,
Vegetable Physiology, Pathology and
Pomology.
The results of the work already done
by Dr. Galloway and his able assistants
has had a far-reaching influence and is
widely appreciated both from the scien-
tific point of view and from the practical
side.
The writer has had considerable expe-
rience with this gas, also using It for the
destruction of insects infesting mills, ele-
vators, warehouses and even dwellings,
and in all cases has met with decided
success wherever the gas has been intro-
duced. Recently one of the largest cigar
manufacturing firms in the South called
upon us to assist them In the destruction
of a small Insect which was doing serious
injury to the leaf tobacco and even to the
manufactured cigars; 60ca8e8of tobacco
of 500 pounds each, and over 60,000
cigars in boxes were infested with the
adult, and larvee of what Is known as
the cigarette beetle, Lasloderma serri-
corne. The entire building, a five-story
brick structure with basement, was suc-
cessfully fumigated with hydrocyanic
acid gas, using it at the rate of twenty-
flve hundredths (.25) of a gramme per
cubic foot of space enclosed, and In all,
about 75 pounds of potassium cyanide
was used in this one experiment, the re-
sults of which were very gratifying and
warrant us in making the statement that
it is the most useful material yet em-
ployed for the destruction of Insects under
such conditions in enclosures of this
nature.
The exceedingly dangerous nature of
this gas and even the cyanide from which
it is generated, has kept many a person
from using it on an extensive scale, espe-
cially within thickly established and set-
tled cities. In the instance cited above,
however, we will state that the fumiga-
tion took place in the very heart of the
business center of one of our largest
southern cities, thus demonstrating be-
yond all question of doubttbe safety and
practical utility of this gas, even where
used in the center of thickly settled busi-
ness blocks. The gas was generated
about 7 o'clock In the evening, after busi-
ness hours, and by carefully arranging
an outlet from the fifth story windows,
the building was aired thoroughly,
shortly after 12 o'clock at night, and no
trace of the gas whatever could be de-
tected in the street below.
I merely cite this instance as a matter
of record, showing that practical demon-
stration has been made along these par-
ticular lines. I could give other illustra-
tions, where, during the past year and a
half, we have successfully fumigated ex-
tensive mills, warehouses, etc., with
gratifying results in every instance.
The writer would be very glad to give
any other details regarding Ills experi-
ence with this material not clearly set
forth in this brief letter.

Alarket Notes.
The twentieth century is here, and
it is to be hoped that during its course,
there will be as many improvements in
the florist business as in any other trade
or profession. The past century has been
productive of many peculiar things in the
florists' line, chief among which is a race
of carnations that will go to hleep while
standing up. If we can now find some
means whereby we can wake up the car-
nations, after they have slept long
enough, we shall be making real progress.
There has been much talk about sleepy
carnations in this city since the Christ-
mas holidays, and it something is not
discovered to do away with such condi-
tions, especially among the high-priced
varieties, the retailers will turn them
down at every opportunity.
During this, the flrst week of the year,
business in cut flowers has been fairly
good. There has not been any excess in
the supply, excepting of violets, and the
demand has been such as to clear out at
respectable prices. Business on New
Year's day was about the same as that
of an ordinary Saturday, and any at-
tempt to advance prices was frowned
down, and failed.
The supply of violets is becoming enor-
mous. This is only to be expected as the
area of glass for their cultivation was
aboutdoubled last year. From thepres-
eut outlook, we should judge that high
prices for violetsare over for this season,
and from now on the street venders must
be depended upon to unload most of the
crop upon the buying public.
Fancy carnations as well as the ordin-
ary grades have dropped in price some-
what, still there is no reason to find fault
with the ruling values. Roses are clear-
ing out in good shape. Of Bridesmaid
there does not seem to be enough to go
around. Lily of the valley is not so plen-
tiful, and clears out well. Some of a spe-
cial grade have realized $5 per 100.
Cattley as are to be had in abundance. C.
Trianfe goes at 50c., and C. Percivaliana
at 25c. each.
Roman hyacinthsand Paper White nar-
cissus have undergone no change in
value. Some Trumpet Major narcissus
are coming in, but are comparatively
small yet and take but poorly.
Courtney & Uutcher, of Sparkill, N. Y.,
are bringing in supplies of sweet peas
regularly, which sell at 25c. per bunch.
White lilac is on the market continu-
ously now, and brings from $1 to $1.50
per bunch.
Harrisii lilies are becoming more plenti-
ful; the demand for these so far this sea-
son, has been quite good. From now on
a lowering in the price is to be expected.

A Model Philadelphia Seed Store.
Dining tbe past Summer mention
was made in tliese columns of extensive
alterations being carried out in the seed
store of Henry F. iMichell, 1018 Market
Street, Philadelphia. These improve-
ments have been completed, and the
entire store is now a model one in every
way, with every new convenience in-
stalled and in use.
Commencing in a small way in 1889
Mr. Micbell has gone steadily along, gain-
ing ground each year. His present store
has five floors and basement the entire
depth of the property, 190 feet, making
22,800 square feet of floor space.
The first floor is laid out much in the
manner of most seed stores. On entering
fi-om the street, to the left are the flower
^eed counters; next to these the vegeta-
ble seed counters; and back of these, the
customary shelves for innumerable sun-
ilries, insecticides, plant foods, jardin-
ping clerk and well laid out spaces for
packages and boxes when ready for ship-
ment; the space being marked for the vari-
ous railroads, steamers, etc. The freight
elevator is at tbeextremerear end of this
room, and a sliding door opens from the
elevator to the sidewalk of the back
street, so that goods are easily handled.
There are three sets of stairways from
the main floor, leading up to all the
upper floors. The building is lighted by
electric light, incandescent arc lights in
the store, and the smallerlamps through-
out the buildirg. On each floor there are
switches which control a given number
of lights for night service of the watch-
man, these being independent of the
lamps in daily use. All the electric wires
are run in insulated tubes, which not
only make a neat appearance, but also
conduce to greatnr safety. Ventilation
is also carefully arranged, there being a
large ventilator chamber leading from
the basement up through all the floors.
To this connections are made frcm all
water closets, etc., and all rooms con-
taining fertilizers and insecticides.
The basement of the building, usually
assortment being required to fill the de-
mands of the florists' trade; also on this
floor are the lawn mowers, stock of
bulbs, plant stands and flbreware; while
the rafters are used for the large stock of
watering pots.
At the front of the fifth floor is tbe
stock of onion sets, arranged so that per-
fect circulation of air is insured; also a
large stock of hot bed mats, mostly
Palmer's. The main part of this floor
holds the immense stock of grass seeds.
At the rear is the mixing room, entirely
partitioned oft from the rest of the floor,
equipped with scales, measures, ietc.
All the floors are built very substan-
tially, as also are the stairways, in fact,
both are much heavier than usually
seen.
Mr. Michell deserves great credit for
bringing thisestablishmentup to so high
a standard, and for the splendid reputa-
tion he has made with his business rela-
tions. It is a pleasure to visit this store,
for no matter how busy the proprietor
may be, he always finds time to say a
pleasant word and make you welcome.
David Rust.

Interior Views of Seed Store of Henry F Micheli, Philadelphia.
itire:!, etc. To tbe right, at front of the
store, is a book case in which are kept
the leading horticultural books now
offered for sale; next to this are cases for
thermometers, knives, etc., then come
the small tools, syringes, pruning shears,
trowels, hose menders, etc. On the floor,
in front of these, are bins tor vegetable
seeds, and bulbs in season. In the center,
on the right, is an electric elevator, used
to convey customers to all the upper
floors. .Near this is the desk of the man-
ager of the store, the headquarters of all
gardeners who come in to give their or-
ders rtnd others who come annually and
some biennally to seek s tuations. Then
on the wall, to the right, are tool racks
systematically arranged so that every
article is in full displa.v and easy of selec-
tion. In front of this is open floor space
used for the display of goods in season
and this latter space is always madS
good use of. The entire flrst floor is
Htteil with Walker's pivotal seed bins and
with another great convenience — the
La'tison electric car cash service connect-
ing'with all counters. There is also a
store telephone connecting with all the
floors.
The back of the store is taken up with
the offices.
The shipping room occupies the back
part of the flrst floor and Is well arranged.
There is an enclosed oSice for the ship-
so unsightly, is here arranged so well
that everything in it is always in place,
the floor being kept neat and clean. In
the front is a room for insecticides and
fertilizers, another for stoclc of twines,
and another for plant tubs and flower
pots. Then comes a space for the steam
lieater. Back of this is the main part of
the basement, cool and dry, where are
seen lily bulbs, fertilizers, plant stakes,
raflia, moss, etc. At the rear is a shute
from the back street, for barrels, cases,
etc.
On the second floor are kept the stock
of vegetable seeds, mushroom spawn,
flower seeds in bulk, and a room fitted
up with spacious shelves for the stock of
stationery and seed bags.
The third floor, at the front, contains
a private offlce, a splendid arrangement,
where Mr. Michell can retire when work-
ing on catalogues, and when the mall is
large, so that no one can interrupt him.
He has telephone connection with the
main offlce, and finds this a great con-
venience. On this floor, also, are the
large stock of implements, and poultry
supplies, all the racks being of iron pipe,
and adjustable, fitted witli the .lennings
flttings. Wire pUint stakes are also kept
here, and on racks as above, also a full
line of cut Bower boxes.
Most noticeable on the fourth floor, is
a very large stock of rubber hose, a large
Use of Shrubs in Cemeteries.
Reail by Mr. O. C. SImonds, Chicago, belhre
tbe American Association of Cemetery Su-
perintendents.
The reports of our meetings show that
during recent years the subject of shrub-
bery has been neglected. In fact, judging
from many of the cemeteries which our
^.Association has visited, one would think
that the shrubs themselves were very lit-
tle appreciated. Undoubtedl.v, the re-
moval of fences, hedges and railings, and
the substitution of grass walks for those
of other materials, is a movement in the
right direction, but in conflning the feat-
ures of a cemetery to grass, trees, roads,
and monuments, is there not danger of
producing an effect of baldness and mo-
notony? We have been in some burial
places where the whole area included
within the boundaries could be seen at a
glance, and a multitude of stones would
obtrude themselvps on our attention,
and then the naked trunks of trees would
flll the view with vertical lines. Some
low foliage, hiding p irttons of the road-
way and at least nine-tenths of the monu-
ments, would have made wonderful im-
provement in the appearance of the
grounds.
We come here to learn how to make
cemeteries beautiful. Nothing will help
us more than an abundance of good
healthy-looking green leaves. Foliage
adds as much to the beauty of a land-
scape as plumage does to the beauty of a
bird. To make a cemetery attractive
and interesting in appearance, the atten-
tion must be confined to one object at a
time by shutting other objects out of
view. By so doing, the changingof one's
position brings new features into sight.
In this way we are attracted from one
object to another, and our interest in
what we are looking at is maintained.
It follows, therefore, that masses of
shrubbery, covered with foliage reaching
from the ground to points above the eye,
are exceedingly useful in producing the
desired effect. It sometimes happens
that trees with foliage coming to the
ground serve the same purpose as masses
of shrubs, but in too many cases the
lower branches of the trees have been
cut away. The hiding of certain objects,
however, is not the most useful purpose
served by shrubs. They are beautiful in
themselves. What is more pleasing to
the sense of sight and the sense of smell
than a great mass of lilacB when in
bloom? How delicate in color and fra-
grance are the pink and white flowers of
the Tartarian honeysuckles ! How grace-
ful the curving branches of some of the
spirseas when weighed down with a pro-
fusion of clusters of white flowers. But
I think the beauty of the various shrubs,
although surpassing one's powers of de-
scription, yields in importance to the
part which they serve In making artistic
compositions. They make the most
pleasing boundaries of lawns, forming
a background in one place, carrying a
point of foliage forward In another, so
as to give a prominent point of light in
contrast with deep shade, and every-
where varying the outline so thatit Is as
beautiful as the margin of a Summer's
cloud. "The effect of shrubs as seen in
moonlight, when their color Is for the
most part lost, shows their fundamental
value, but a strong light which brings
out the variety of color, helps to com-
plete the picture.
I have spoken of masses of shrubs, but
we sometimes see them dotted about
upon the lawn in a way to weaken the
general effect. And even in masses, too
great a variety is frequently used. A
large group of one kind of shrub is gen-
erally very satisfactory in appearance,
and if two kinds are used they should
not be mixed so as to produce a spotted
appearance, but each kind should pre-
dominate in its own part of the group.
Only such shrubs should be planted as
prove hardy in thelocallty in which they
are used. I have read that there Is no
country more abundantly supplied with
shrubs than tbe United States and none
where the climate is more favorable to
their growth. We certainly have enough
native shrubs to make any locality as
beautiful as the fairest park. I have seen
prairie roses make a ravine in which they
were at home more beautiful even than
the "Wooded Island." How attractively
the elderberries fill out the corners of a
rail fence, and how beautiful are the
viburnums and dogwoods, to say noth-
ing of the evergreen shrubs of New Eng-
land and the Alleghanies. All shrubs
which make the country so beautiful are
certainly appropriate In a cemetery.
It is sometimes said that there Is not
space enough for shrubs in a cemetery,
and I have even known rules to be adopt-
ed prohibiting their use, but there Is
room enough for anything that people
like. People wish to place their dead
among most beautiful surroundings, and
with those who can choose, the general
effect is the first consideration, rather
than a given amount of space. 'The peo-
ple who spend fortunes in erecting ugly
stone tombs, would not hesitate In secur-
ing all the space required for any tree or
shrub, or any combination of such beau-
tiful objects, if they could fully appreci-
ate them. Shrubs can usually be placed
along the boundaries of cemeteries, the
margins of ponds, and In acute angles of
lots or sections without taking any space
that is valuable for other purposes.
Sometimes they can be placed about the
trunks of trees with good effect. I know
of no reason why they should not occa-
sionally be allowed to grow directly over
a grave. We might think of them as
reaching out their branches to protect a
spot that is sacred. They would form a
place of refuge for the birds whose music
would continue to bring chcerfuinesB
each Spring for a period longer than a
granite monument will last.
A group of shrubs should form a com-
plete ground covering, that is, the foliage
should meet the lawn, and no attempt
should be made to grow grass under-
neath the branches. Usually no trim-
ming should be done after the plants are
once established. It is a mistake to trim

up ebnibs. If they get too high, or too
broad, the lougest branches ehould be
cut at the grounil. It this treatmeut
produces a bush that is too straggling,
perha[is the wholeshrub should be cut to
the ground andallowed to sprout again.
It is also a mistake to rake the leaves
from underneath a group of shrubs. The
fallen leaves always look better than the
bare ground during the late Fall, Winter
and early Spring, and in Summer they
are not seen. They preserve moisture
and furuish plant food. They will also
protect certain early Spring flowers
which naturally And a home near shrubs,
out of reach of chilling winds, such as
annually, and by an automatic arrange-
ment that passes the coal to the boilers
a saving of several thousand dollars in
labor is effected. Another feature is a
carrier for conveying the ashes 200 feet
away to a laue, where they are dropped
into a wagon.
AH the leading varieties of roses are
grown, and the excellent quality of the
stock produced has become so well
known that it needs no further mention
here. Besides roses, carnations, lilies,
smilax and asparagus arecultivated and

Canada. The duty of 25 per cent, is not

snowdrops, , crocuses,, bloodroots, ery-
throniums, trilliunjs, and hepaticas.
Frequenlly the .greater portion of the
shrubs needed for boundaries and mar-
gins of ponds can be taken from the sur-
rounding country. The paulcled dog-
wood, with its rich foliage and white
berries on little red stems, the red-
branched dogwood, the witch hazel, the
viburnums of different kinds, the com-
mon hazel, the elderberries, both the red
and the black-berried species, llie spirieas
of different kinds, the chokeoerry, the
different sumachs, varying in size from
the small aromatic to the staghorn,
which is almost a tree, the prairie,
Bwamp, and meadow roses, and the New
Jersey tea, are examples of attractive
shrubs that arefound almost everywhere
In the northern states. In favored locali-
ties the evergreen shrubs, including the
rhododendrons and laurels, make a beau-
tiful addition to the list. But, .of course,
we should take advantage of the beauti-
ful shrubs that come to us from other
countries. The forsythlas, covered in
Spring with a profusion of yellow Bowers,
the Japan quince following with bright
red flowers, tlie honeysuckles, lilacs,
eyringas, spiraeas, virbunums, roses, bar-
berries, etc., that till our nurseries, are
all delightful, and should beused in abuu-
dance.
If I should make but one suggestion for
beautifying our cemeteries, it would be
to use more of these smaller woody
plants which clothe the ground so attrac-
tively, and feast the eye with a profusion
of flowers, leaves and fruit, and which
even in Winter time soften the outlines of
a landscape, and often catch and hold
the snow iu a delightful way. They are
as important iu the real pictures which
we try to form as children are in the
family. Let us use them with boldness,
creating broad, quiet effects, and by so
doing make the cemeteries more truly
resting places.

To Eliminate the Violet Disease.
Editor Florists^ Exchange.
Living iu the cool, mountainous re-
gions of upper South Carolina, and hav-
ing for years grown violets both for
pleasure and profit, I have never yet seen
a diseased plant of any variety. I have
sent off and received weakly plants,
which, after being carefully planted, In a
short time started off into vigorous,
healthy growth, leaving not a trace of
former weakness. I feel confident, after
much careful reading, and more recently
from a perusal of "Commercial Violet
Culture," by Professor Galloway, that to
Insure healthy stock is to grow it in any
section favorable to violet culture out
of doors. I do not believe that violets
can be grown in health over two seasons
where the conditions are obtained by
artificial means or the use of glass. It is
an easy thing to ship stock South annu-
ally (Fall being the best time) to have
the plants attain enormous size. A luere
slip stuck in the ground, in three to four
weeks begins to show giowth, and by
February, our greatest violet month, the
plant is a sheet of bloom. As a proof of
this, in 1895 I had a friend give me 11
small, unrooted runners of the hardy
Russian violet. The phenomenally large
flowers, long stems and vigorous growth
blinded me to the great lack of odor;
and, as Galloway says, " nobody wants
a violet without fragrance." I find that
such violets are a drug in the market.
My 11 plants in three years produced
over 30,000, every available spot being
planted with them. The soil was kept
iooseaud fiiable to enable every runner
to root. As soon as rooted the runners
were cut off and replanted. In one sea-
son the show of flowers was worth a
trip to see — blooms that could cover a
quarter dollar and stems 8 to 12 inches
I, with similar results, cultivated the
double varieties Marie.Louise, Swanley
White, Farquhar, etc., small rooted run-
ners growing into large field '.clumps,
from 10 to 15 inches in diameter.
The cool, vigorous, growing climate
of this region, contiguous to the foothills
of the Blue Ridge Mountains, seems emi-
nently adapted to violet culture, the
nights being cool throughout the year,
with rare exceptions, and having refresh-
ing dewsalmostallthe Summer through,
except in cases of drought. I believe it
would pay any violet grower to have his
plants cultivated in such a climate. I
have, as before stated, never seen a dis-
eased violet, although fully 57 years old
now. It is a rare sight to see long bor-
ders of violet plants, one sheet ol pur-
ple Bowers, in open air in midwinter,
iiundreds of flowers being obtainable
from a few feet of ground.

CHRISTMAS TRADE.
LATER KEPOHT8.
Camden, N. J.— The writer, who re-
cently erected a model floral establish-
ment in a very prominent part of the
city, had an unprecedented sale of trees,
blooming plants, cut flowers, etc. As fur
as learned, all Camden florists were eatis-
fied with the results. Carnations, which
were in greatest demand, brought from
oOe. to $1.25; tea roses, $2 to «3;
American Beauty, J4 to $9; narcisfcus,
75c.; Romans, 00c. : smilax, oOc. per
string. Azaleas sold well, also Begonia
Gloire de Lorraine. — C. W. Tuhnley.
Kansas City, Mo.— Coneideiing that
two days of rainy weather preceded
Christmas, it is doubtful if there has ever
beenabetterdemaud forblooming plants
than was experienced by the growers of
this section. The lucky one was he who
struck it right on azaleas, which were
cleaned out at$3to$4per plant. Samuel
Murray reports a cropof 200; also some
fine specimen azaleas whith brought %'2h

nations and roses were the reigning cut
Bowers, and we could not supply the de-
mand. Carnations realized $1.25 per
dozen, roses $2.50 per dozen, hyacinths

There was an increased demand for
plants this year, a great run being expe-
rienced on Boston fern, rubber plants and

better than last year. Primroses and
cyclamen v(ere not on the market. The
advance In "green goods," holly included,
was about 50 per cent.
In the cut-flower line American Beauty
took the lead at $20 per dozen for the
best. Violets were very scarce at $1.50
perbuuch (jf 25. The supply of Brides-
ninid and Bride was about equal to the
demand at $3 per dozen. Meteor were
scarce; narctssuB and Romans were pleii-
titul at $1.25 and $1.50 per dozen. The
call for valley was slow.— D.

Spokane, Wabh.— Christmas trade beat
all records; everythiug sold. Owing to
12 weeks ot dull weather roses and car-
nations were not plentiful. — Rose
Weight.
WoHCESTER, Mass.— Christmas trade
in general was very good. Kvei'green
stock was pretty well cleaned up the
Saturday before Christmas. Holly was
in great demand, nearly double the quan-
tity ot any previous years being sold.
Mistletoe also sold well, especially for
such a staid old city as Worcester. Potted
plants were in great profusion, with
cyclamens, begonlasaud primroses in the
lead, followed by palms and ferns.
The demand for plants in bloom at
Christmas time is rapidly increasing.
The cut flower trade was of course re-
served until the day before Christmas
aud Christmas day. The volume of busi-
ness done was large, notwithstanding
the high prices. Violets were scarce and
retailed at from $3 to $4 per hundred.
Carnations, also, were scarce, selling at
7oc. and ;$! per dozen; none going as
low as 50c. per dozen. Roses were more
plentiful and brought from $2 to $4 per
dozen. Lily of the valley aud mignonette
were in good demand, also Roman hya-
cinths. A few Liiiium Harrisii were seen
here and there, but they were not plenti-
ful. A great saving of time and labor
was experienced, owing to the mild
weather, which was appreciated by us
all.— W. E. S.
Syracuse, N. Y. — Trade here was very
good indeed, far in advance of that of
previous years. The florists were all
heavily handicapped by dull, dismal
weather for a month, but Christmas
week was nice and bright. The market
here, like elsewhere, was overstocked
with holly, much of which was of poor
quality and worthless.
The store windows of P. R. Quintan,
H. Burt and H. Morris were made very
attractive with azaleas, poinsettias, hy-
acinths, etc. No novelties worth men-
tioning were shown. Home-grown vio-
lets were very scarce, Meneilly being the
only one who had a supply. There was
a heavy callfor cut flowers in spiteot the
high prices. Carnations were most
sought for and sold at from 75c. to
f 1.50 per dozen. American ISeauty roses
sold well at from $9 to $18 per dozen;
other roses brought from $2 to $5 per
dozen. Lily of the valley and Paper
White narcUsus brought $1; hyacinths,
75c.; violets, $3 to fS per 100. Kay,
Bartholomew, Bannister Bros, and
Meneilly had a good trade in cut flowers
and potted plants.— H. Y.
Trade showed a marked increase over
last year's. In cut flowers carnations
led, with roses second and violets third.
The flrst-named sold at $1 to f 1.50 per
dozen; roses brought $2 to $3, and vio-
lets $3.50 per 100. In plants, Boston
ferns and palms sold well, also azaleas.
The stock of flowering plants was inade-
quate to supply the demand.— -L. E. M.
Hartford, Con;;. — Christmas trade
was all that could have been expected.
The weather was very favorable, and
plants could be taken out without being
wrapped. Plants, especially blooming
kinds, sold much better than ever before.
Cyclamen met with good demand and
sold at from $1 to $2 each. But few
azaleas in bloom were to be had; those
obtainable were rather small, and the
majority of them white; they sold readily
at $1.50 and $2 each. IJegonia Gloire de
Lorraine went fairly well at $1 each.
Quantities of small primroses were dis-
posed of at from 25c. to 50c. each; they
proved to be the best selling blooming
plants in the market. There were also
a few lily plants in flower, which met
with good demand. Palms, Boston ferns,
and rubber plants also sold well.
In cut flowers carnations led; they
were very scarce. The best varieties
brought 75c. and $1 a dozen, while com-
mon Sorts sold at 50c. Some very nice
Bride and Bridesmaid roses were in the
market, but not enough to supply the
demand. The prices asked for these were
from $1 to $3 a dozen. Yellow roses
were but little called for, and red ones
could not be had at any price. There
were very few chrysanthemums for sale;
these brought $2 to $3 a dozen. A goad
supply of violets was on hand, about
equal to the demand; they realized from
$2 to $2.50 a 100. Never before was as
much holly offered for sale here. Holly
wreaths sold much better than last year.
There was a scarcity of bouquet green,
consequently a shortness of roping and
wreaths made of this material. Mistle-
toe sold about as last year, and more
Christmas trees than usual were disposed
of; in fact, there was more business done
than at any other Christmas.
Miss Eunice Belcher, formerly of Bos-
ton, is now with John Coombs.
Mr. Greenlaw, representing N. F. Mc-
Carthy & Co., Boston, was in town.

Colorado Springs, Colo.— The holi-
day season opened up brisk here and held
out well; making a gain of 25 per cent,
over last year. Holly sold unusually
well, and the gaining popularity of
flowering plants for Christmas was
more noticeable than ever; azaleas and
poinsettias being in great demand at
good prices, cyclamen, primroses, etc.,
also coming infortheirshare of apprecia-
tion. Colorado Springs can rightfully
claim a population, educated to appre-
ciate the beautiful, as was shown by the
quantity of American Beauty roses sold
during the past week atfrom $12 to $18,
other roses bringing $3 and $4, carua-
tions $1 to $3, violets $4, and valley and
hyacinths $1 per dozen.
The trade was especially grateful for
the lavish supply of sunshine bestowed
upon thiscity duringthe 24th andChrist-
mas day. Plants were delivered all day
in open wagons, without wrappings of
any kind, although Pike's Peak and the
ing. Several matches are in sight tor this
month, among them being retailers vs.
growers; associate team vs. regular
team, and Friday night association vs.
Jenkintown.
Death of E. Lucking.
The members ot the trade were
greatly surprised on Saturday to learn
of the sudden death ot Edward Lucking.
No one appears to have known that he
was sick. He was 31 years ot age, and
greatly respected in business circles.
Much sorrow has been expressed at his
early death. He conducted a retail busi-
ness at Fifth Street and Falrmount Av-
enue, to which he succeeded only two
years ago, on the death of his mother.
A special meeting ot the club was held on
Monday last, when suitable resolutions
were adopted. The funeral was held
Wednesday morning.
Among Growers.
The establishment of Joseph Hea-
cock at Wyncote, Pa., is well worthy of
a visit at all times. He has a grand lot
of palms, all in splendd condition, and of
robust growth. Moat noticeable among
this large stock iethe splendid lot of ken-

neighboring mountain tops were white

William Clark, the day following Christ-
mas, drove a party of six, composed of
Messrs. G. H. Barr, F. Hadyen, C. Apple-
gate, C. Swayger, L. D. Lane and N.
Hayden (employees), through the Gar-
den of the Gods (near Manitou), and
called upon S. Clark, who has lately
arrived from England, to assume charge
of the private greenhouses and extensive
and magniflcent grounds surrounding
the home of General William J. Palmer,
known as Glen Eyre. These grounds em-
brace several huud red acres of well tim-
bered and parked land, and are a special
point of interest to the hundreds of tour-
ists visiting this city every year.
J. Smith, owner of Ivywild green-
houses, south of Colorado Springs, re-
ports a good season. He picked 10,000
violets to the house, in two days.

The Market.
The New Year started out well for
the florist trade. Business on Tuesday
at the retail stores, was quite brisk; in
fact, during the wtiole week trade has
been good. Everything is now in full
swing, there being several large balls
every week, and these will be kept up
until Lent.
Cut flowers have not been very plenti-
ful since Christmas, but are commencing
to arrive in large quantities now. Choice
carnations are not yet in sufficient supply
to fill all demands, so that the very best
flowers are still selling at good prices.
The New Year at the Club Rooms.
New Year's day was well kept at
the club rooms. The bowling alleys
were in full swing, afternoon and even-
tias. Plants of K.Belmoreana in 6-inch
pots are the best seen in a long time.
Kentia Forsteriana are also as good — all
hardy, with perfect foliage. There is,
too, a grand lot of arecas. The 10-inch
pot stock is well furnished; also a flue
lot in 8-lnch pots, which are very service-
able, and some useful plants in O-inch
pots. AH palms have done wonderfully
well on this place. Cocos have been
grown on to 6-Inch, and found good sale,
during the holidays.
Roses, as usual, are looking very well
here; and a good cut was obtained tor
Christmas. Great credit is due Mr. Hea-
cock tor the systematic way in which the
establishment is run, everything being In
splendid order, and all the houses kept
clean and perfect. To the trade outside
of this city, Wyncote may sound as be-
longing away up the state; butlt is only
10 miles from the Reading Terminal at
Twelfth aud Market Streets; with the
best ot railroad accommodation. The
station is Jenkintown; on the right side
of the depot is Jenkintown, and on the
left Wyncote. This Information may
seem out ot place to local readers, but
will be welcomed by the trade living at
a distance. David Rust.
Grand Rapids.
Christmas Trade.
The weather tor Christmas was
fine, there being just enough snow on the
ground to make it seasonable. Trade
was better than expected, with a larger
supply ot flowers to draw from than last
year. There was the ouptut of at least
25 per cent, more glass than before, be-
sides. Carnations and roses were pretty
well in crop at the right time. A short-
age ot American Beauty and Meteor roses
was experienced also ot red carnations,
orders tor the latter being often filled
with bright pink instead.
Shipping trade was excellent, more fre-
quent and larger than heretofore. Fune-
ral orders were plentiful all the week and
helped to shorten up the supply using up
lots of flowers that otherwise could not
have been sent out in a fancy box order.
The flowers most plentiful were white
carnations, pink and white roses. The
call for Roman hyacinths and Paper
White narcissus, which were in good |
supply, was light; most ot the stock was |
used iu shipping orders. 1
Very few flowering plants were offered
and these were cleaned up close. The
greatest demand was tor palms, ferns
and other decorative stock.
Holly was universally used, wreaths
tied with a scarlet bow of ribbon being
hung in windows all over town. The
holly and greens trade is last being com-
pletely monopolized by the commission
men and seed stores who handle the
stock by the car load.
An increase of 20 per cent, in total
sales, over last year is a very conserva-
tive estimate to put on this year's busi-
ness over the record-breaking Christmas
ot 1899. Prices were about the same as
last year. Violets, 25c. to 35c. per dozen;
carnations 75c. to $1 ; roses $2 to $3 per
dozen, from 20c. a piece for shorts to
$1.50 lor very fine and longed stemmed
flowers. The quality of the stock, as a
rule, was superior to that ot last season,
very little pickled flowers being In evi-
dence. G. F. C.

Christmas Rrport.
The principal feature the past
Christmas was the ideal weather prevail-
ing. Trade was very good; all good
plants were easily sold at remunerative
prices. Poor stock was not wanted at
any price.
Plants, as usual, were the leaders, and
this year tor the first time the azalea had
to step down from its proud position as,
the leading staple; poinsettias taking its
place, and in these, dwarf plants had first
preference. The high water mark for
azaleas has been reached, and for some
time to come it is not probable that the
number grown will show much increase.
The azalea came second inpopulartavor,
aud after that, probably dwarf plants of
Euphorbia jacquinseflora, these being
especially popular in baskets with a
ground work of maiden hair fern. Cycla-
men were decidedly popular, as were
Bolanums, pot plants of Roman hya-
cinths and primroses. In cut flowers
carnations were indisputably the favor-
ites, colored varieties being preferred;
followed by pink roses,violets, white and
yellow roses, narcissus and Roman hya-
cinths in the order named.
Stocks ot carnations were short. Roses
were in fair supply, white ones being
especially plentiful, the time of year con-
sidered. Violets were very scarce, but
those seen were ot extra quality. Ro-
man hyacinths and Paper White narcis-
sus were plentiful. Mignonette was in
short supply, but sold readily.
All local supplies ot cut flowers were
this yearvery fine, and It is tor these that
the highest prices quoted were mostly
obtained.
Wilshire Bros, report that their deco-
rated baskets and artistic pot covers
were in as great demand as ever.
Prices obtained varied slightly with
the locality. For extra American Beauty
$18 per dozen was obtained; flrsts, $12;
poorer stock at much lower rates. Bride,
Bridesmaid and Liberty roses brought
$2.50 to $6 per dozen; but $3 to $4 were
the ruling prices. In carnations a tew
extra Lawsons realized $2.50; ordinary
stock, flrsts, $1.25 to $1.50; seconds,
75c.; violets $1 to $1.50. Paper White
narcissus, 75c. to $1 ; Roman hyacinths,

Newark, N. J.— Ohristmas trade was
ae good as any previous year, if not bet-

blessing;, enabling us to send out plants

also flowering plants, such as azaleas,
heaths, cyclamen, and poinsettias.— ft.
&G.
Fall River, Mass.— Christmas trade
was all thatcould be desired; everything
sold out clean. Violets and roses were
in shortest supply. Stock was not as
good as last year, but prices were better;
a big demand for plants in bloom was
experienced and the supply was short;
greens did not sell as well as last year,
owing to the large quantities brought in
by the farmers; good holly went for "a
song." — C. Warburton.
Fhedericton, N. B.— Christmas trade
was all that could be desired. In cut
flowers we had roses, carnations, valley,
violets, chrysanthemums, Roman hya-
cinths, Trumpet Majordnffodils. Of roses
and carnations we could have sold more.
In potted plants we had azaleas, cycla-
men, Chinese primroses, Roman hya-
cinths and golden daffodils. Holly and
mistletoe sold well.— G. Bebbington &
Sons.
London, Ont. — Now that the rush is
over, a little time can he spared to glance
over our boolis and look around the
houses. On comparison with last season
we can report an increase in total sales.
The individual percentage has not been
quite so large as in some previous sea-
sons, but with an increase of one-third in
competition we arestill able to write op-
posite Christmas week an increase of 1.5
per cent. The weather could not have
been better; there was no snow and just
enough frost to keep it hard under foot.
The demand for carnations and roses
could not be supplied. The latter sold
at from .ll^'iO to $.3 per dozen: carna-
tions at from 60c. to |l per dozen; vio-
lets brought 2,5c. to 35c. per dozen.
While flowering plants sold well, there
was no noticeable increased demand.
Gammage & Soni was the only firm to
offer liegonia Qloire de Lorraine: these
sold quickly at »t for plants in 414-inch
pots. Azaleas, Begonia incarnata and
primulas were disposed of in large quan-
tities, with a decided revival in the de-
mand tor fern pans.— W. G.
Kalamazoo, Mrr-H. — Christmas trade
proved satisfactory to our local men,
stock being sold out clean, although no
shortage of any account, except, per-
haps, violets, wa"" noted. Prices ranged
about as usual. Roses, per dozen, $1.50
to S-S; carnations. perdozen, 50c. to 75c.,
with some specials a little higher: vio-
lets, 25n. per dozen, chioflv Lady Hume
Caraphell. Pot plants sold fairly well at
satisfactory prices. Christmas greens
were moved off qiiite clean, but as this
stock Is also handled by every grocery,
the business in it to the florist is hardly
worth the tro\ihle it takes in handling,
though, of course, he must have the
stock. Van Bochove & Bro. had a nice
stock of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine,
which sold readily at satisfactory figures.
(This was the "nlvreal novelty in plants
here.) A good line of poinaettlas, primu-
las, cyclamen, etc., was carried by the
nunklevCo.,as wellastheVan Bochoves.
W. C. Cook, of the Kalamazoo Nursery
and Floral Co., had a splendid batch of
late chrysanthemums and quite a large
cut of violets, which were mostly shipped
out of town. He reports local trade
quite satisfactory, too, considering the
concern has been started only a few
months. The weather was very favora-
ble the few davs before Christmas, mak-
ing it easy to deliver and also helping
out the cut.
The prospects for a good business the
remainder of the season look good at
present, although indications would
tend to discourage any further increase
of glass area in this vicinity.— S. B.
Buffalo.
Business Bifcs.
Trade kept up nicely in most quar-
ters following Christmas business:
though at some places a sort of dullness
seemed to he on. At others, a New Year's
trade for all the good blooms available,
and at good prices. existed. A summing
ui) of the entire holiday trade, indicates
a general increase over a year ago, rang-
ing from 15 to 20 per cent. Wholesale
and shipping trade for New Year's
showed a comparative dullness, with
some bulbous stock continuing plentiful.
Prices havedropped a peg or two From
the extravagant limit reached a week
ago.
A good call was made for lunch deco-
rations on Tuesday. Smilax was liber-
ally used, and bright colored flowers.
J. H. Rebstock continued his " annex"
through last week, in the interest of
plant sales.
Miss Kate Beyer, of Anderson's, has
the sympathy of the craft locally, in the
death of her widowed mother on Sunday
last.
A very noisy, horn-tooting, and red
lighted demonstration ol the Incoming
of 1901, was held at the opening hour of
the year, but flowers werenot considered
a necessity. The weather has been
pleasantly mild of late, with general ab-
sence of rain or snow.
J. Austin Shaw was in town.
Arthur E. Beyer, practically the "deco-
rator" of Palmer's establishment, has
had his hands full continuously for sev-
eral weeks. I hope later to give some
details of some of theelaborate jobs done.

The Christmas Business,
Christmas weather started in at
the last moment with traces of snow and
a temperature not too cold for prompt
delivery. The weather before the holi-
days was hard on all cutflowers, making
them soft, and shipped stock came in
mostly In poor shape. Pickled stock as
usual was much in evidence. How some
reputable houses can send out such mis-
erable stuff and then claim that it left
them in good condition is beyond our
understanding!
The undue increase in the price of roses
and other stock is also a question which
must soon have attention, as the plant
trade has superseded the cut flower sales
to a great extent during holiday times.
Azaleas, poinsettias, ferns, palms, cycla-
men, begonias, combination flats and
arrangementsinbasketsof blooming and
foliage plants, and flowers were exten-
sively sold. Violets and carnations were
in great demand , the first named being in
short supply. Home grown violets were
backward in blooming, and are yet very
scarce in this neighborhood. Bulbous
stock could only he used in boxes of
flowers; some narcissus sold well, also
lily of the valley. All report a good
trade, being satisfied to sell their own
stock, and not depending on high priced,
pickled goods from the commission
houses. Plant sales were unusually brisk
and the favorable weather made delivery
easy.
The green goods business is now exclu-
sively in the hands of the seed houses,
and 'some commission stores. Lots of
holly was handled, also laurel wreath-
ng in place of lycopodium, which was
too higli in price and scarce. Mistletoe
was hard to get; there seemed to be lit-
tle of it all through the middle West.
Taken all around, theholiday trade for
1900 was very satisfactory: prices about
the same as last year's. Business for New
Year's was about as usual. While active,
there is no regular rush like in years
gone by.
Association meeting.
The fifteenth annual meeting of the
State Florists' Association of Indiana,
will be held at the Agriculture Rooms,
State Capital Building. Tuesday, .lanu-
ary 8. An exhibit of novelties and choice
flowers will be made. A great deal of
routine business will be transacted and
the election of officers will follow. An
entertainment after the meeting is on the
program. W. B.
Baltimore.
The weather conditions have been fa-
vorable for the cut flower and plant
traffic ever since Christmas, but trade
has been quiet. The prices have been
kept well up. Romans and some narcis-
sus may now be seen in every store, but
are apparently not very popular.
New Year's day had little effect on the
trade. T. E.
Cincinnati.
New Tear's Trade.
New Year's business, like that of
Christmas, was a record breaker, and all
good stock moved readily at satisfactory
prices. All report a cleaner business with
better profits than at Christmas. Vio-
lets were short of the demand, and while
many thousands were sold, more could
have been used. Bulbous stock of all
kinds went slowly. The supply of car-
nations was equal to the demand, but
the quality was far from being up to the
standard.

Business has continued good. Stock
at Christmas was cut so close and well
sold, that although we have had several
bright days since, flowers are still scarce,
and prices at wholesale have changed
but little as yet. They will, however, be
somewhat lower before the end of this
week. The bright weather has improved
the quality of both roses and carnations.

E. B. Warden has sold out his place at

Christmas trade turned out very satis-
factory indeed. The weather was quite,
ideal for making deliveries. There was
a complete clean up in flowers, and a
good supply was on hand. E. Walker
had some good Liberty roses; they seem
to find a ready market, at good prices.
Plants were in good supply and sold
quite as well as last year, some reporting
a decided increase. A nice lot of early
azaleas came in and retailed readily at
$1.25 to $1..50 each. A large increase in
the call for filled tern dishes was noticed.
A very few Begonia Gloire de Lorraine
were seen, enough, however, to prove
that the plant will be a good seller.

Holiday Trade.
Christmas trade this year far ex-
ceeded in volume anything before known
to local florists. The weather, for a weeli
or ten days previous to Christmas Day,
was mild and made easy work of hand-
ling plants and flowers.
Many large orders for decorations
were booked early in the season and early
indications of a shortage in choice flowers
compelled the decorators to engage their
supply of cut bloom at an early date.
This, of course, left a short supply to
draw upon, when the heaviest demand
came, and, in consequence, there was a
completecleaning upamongthe growers.
Prices were advanced early and held
firm during the entire holiday period,
but values throughout were practically
the same as in previous seasons.
Plant sales were heavy. Flowering
plants of all kinds were the best sellers,
and many of the retail stores could have
disposed of larger stocks had they been
available. Azaleas in particular were
much sought after, and in some eases,
choice plants commanded exorbitant
prices. In foliage plants there was a
brisk moveraeutand fern pans were great
favorites. The largest demand, however,
was fur Boston (urns, and these seemed
to shut out the sale of palms.
The shortage iu Christmas greens was
quite pronounced, and resulted in nearly
cleaning up of everything available in
this line. When the supply of bulk mate-
rial was exhausted an unusual cail for
made up decorations soon used up all
that local dealers had to dispose of. The
demand was far in excess of the supply.
Holly seemed to be entirely used up by
the 2-lth, and even commission merch-
ants, who some seasons have large
quantities left on hand, reported a com-
plete cleaning up. The trade in Christ-
mas trees was unusually large and high
prices obtained. Large quantities were
handled, but the supply was tar too
small, and thousands who had put off
their Christmas tree purchases until the
last day, were compelled to go without.
The following Is a schedule of prices
ruling through the holiday period.
These rates have held firm since the 2(Jth,
but from indications at this writing,
January 2, there will soon be a decline:
American Beauty retailed at $5 to $8 per
dozen, for short stemmed flowers, and
$12 to $18 for extras. Liberty rose
brought $5 and $6 per dozen, and Me-
teor, Bride, Bridesmaid, Perle, etc., $3
and $3.50 per dozen. Wholesale prices
varied from $5 to $15, according to
grade.
Carnations retailed at from 60c. to
$1.50 per dozen, the wholesale prices for
ordinary stock being $3 and $4 per 100.
Extra stock of G. H. Crane, White Cloud
and Mrs. George M. Bradt, brought as
high as $7.
Paper White narcissus and Roman hya-
cinths are coming in freely, and $3 and
$4 are ruling prices, retailing at 75c. per
dozen.
Violets find ready sale; these move at
$2.50 and $3 for best stock, and retail
at $4 to $6 per 100. Lillum Harrisii,
from eastern growers, retail at $4 per
dozen.
Poinsettias are seen in considerable
quantities, but these are from out-of-
town growers. There is not much sale
for this stock here, but a list of Christmas
quotations in band, published by a local
wholesale establishment, quotes them at
$25 to $35 per 100.
Notes.
W. H. Beaumont, who has operated
a retail flower store in this city for sev-
eral years, is now re-established at 150
Prospect Street.
Someof the most elaborate decorations
ever seen in Cleveland have been executed
within the past fortnight. Among these,
was the decoration at the Colonial Club
on Monday evening, the occasion being
a " coming out " party in honor of the
Misses Chisholm, daughters of Mr. and
Mrs. Wilson Chisholm. Another was the
decoration of the Chamber of Commerce
banquet and reception hails, on Tuesday
evening, January 1, the occasion being a
"coming out" of Miss Ruth Hauna,
daughter of Senator Banna. No expense
was spared in either case, and many new
and novel ideas in arrangement of
flowers were brought out by the decorat-
ors. Smith & Fetters. Hundreds of cat-

The Market.
Business quieted down directly
after the Christmas rush, and during the
latter part of last week little was going
on except funeral work. By Thursday
stock had begun to accumulate a little,
and to move more slowly, but there was
no great surplus except in Paper White
narcissus and Roman hyacinths, espe-
cially the latter. On Monday of this week
flowers were much more plentiful but a
little extra demand was experienced on
account of New Year's, though this day
does not amount to much in the flower
business here.
By Wednesday the market had got
pretty steady again and now presents
anti-Christmas conditions.
American Beauty roses move well at
from $5 to $7 per dozen for No. 1 stock,
a few extra specials going at $8 and $9
per dozen. Quantities of smaller grades
sell at from $1 to $4 per dozen. Bride
and Bridesmaid, too, are coming very
good, and do pretty well at from $16 to
$20 per 100. tor extra special grades. No.
1 go at $12.50 and seconds at $8 and
$10. Liberty do not appear very fast;
the few good ones arriving clean up well
daily at $2.50 to $4 per dozen, with
extra fine No. 1 at $2 and smaller grades
at from $4 per 100 to $12.50.
Carnations are In pretty good supply,
and the finer grades hold up in price.
Good grades of ordinary sorts make $.3
per 100, a few extras $4, and a limited
supply of fancies, $5 per 100.
The supply of bulbous stock increases
daily. Jonquils arelmproving in quality.
Roman hyacinths and Paper White nar-
cissus are druggy. A few Proserpine
tulips have been brought in. but they are
very short stemmed, and little sought
for. Lilies are becoming quite plentiful
and begin tomovemore slowly at $12.50
per 100. Good callas fetch the same
figure, the supply being very short.
Violets are inpretty good supply again,
and sell better now that the price has
lowered. Good violets bring $1 per 100;
extra stock and fancies going at $1.25
and $1.50 per 100.
Valley continues plentiful, at usual
prices.
Clab News.
The regular meeting of the Garden-
ers and Florists' Club was held Tuesday
evening with quite a good attendance,
and the enthusiasm displayed predicts a
new lease of life for the Club, in which the
members had been losing interest, until
it was found advisable to hold but one
meeting a year. It was voted that four
meetings a year would be held to try and
arouse greater interest among members.
F. R. Mathison, E. M. Wood and G. A.
Sutherland were elected to membership,
and the election of oflJcersfor the ensuing
year resulted as follows: President, War-
ren Ewell; vice-president, J. A. Petti-
grew; secretary, William E. Fischer, and
treasurer, Edward Hatch; executive
committee, William Donald, W.W.Edgar,
Alex. Montgomery, E. J. Welch and M. H.
Norton.
George A. Sutherland is now making
preparations for the removal of his
wholesale department to the new store
at 34 Hawley Street, where he will locate
permanently about April 1. Mr. Suther-
land is well satisfied with his Christmas
trade, and says that the reports of the
holly which he shipped so heavily are
very gratifying; in fact, his salesman, T.
E. Waters, who happened in from a West-
ern Massachusetts trip, brought orders

The Retailers* Christmas Trade.
We have yet to hear of one retailer
who ha« uot a good word for trade done
generally the past Christmas. High
prices of flowers, as usual, was a com-
mon complaint even among the best re-
tail stores, with buyers objecting to the
advance made necessary by the whole-
sale rates. Plants were pushed wher-
ever possible, and would have been so to
a greater extent, had the right liinds
been obtainable in greater quantities.
Samuelson & Smythe had bought freely
ol Begonia Gloire de Lorraine. Its ten-
dency to drop its flowers was greatly
against it. WeinUoebet bought moder-
ately, using the plants mostly for dinner
table and party use. He found no fault
with it on this score. Wittbold was much
pleased with it. Azaleas sold well, but
were not over plentiful. Retzer & Co. had
a nice lot and did a good trade generally.
Wittbold sold lots of plants, but found
flowers equally extensively called for.
This Arm used quantities of birch bark
basliets; these, when zinc-lined are very
useful. Kern pans in various styles were
quite a feature. Ribbon and other dress-
ing was not glaiingly used. Many more
dwarf pohi».ettiaa in small pots could
have been utilized to brighten up the lias-
kets; for wiiut of better material prim-
roses were largely employed. Cyclamen
were scarce. A few ardisias (not well
colored) and dwarf solaoums were seen
around. Charles Neiglick sold quite a
number of heaths, but none of these
plants being grown lncall.v, the price is
not favorable to large 'sales. Praciena
terinlnalis and Pamlauhs Veitchii were
used for expensive outfits.
Stores iu the central part of the city, as
the Central Floral Co., Mangel, Lange,
Anderson, .Schubert, Hauswirth, etc.,
for want of room, make' little pretention
to a plant trade, hence push the flower
part, as well as greens in various st.vles.
The greens Dusineas, taken as a whole
throughout the city, formed a very im-
portant feature of the trade— as it should
do. Holly was the prime favorite, on
account of scarcity of bouquet green,
but those who had secured a good sup-
ply of the latter, found easy sale for it.
Ca|)e flowers and immortelles were much
used with this green. The winterberry
was also a favorite for color in made-up
work. Mistletoe was fn good supply,
and finds increasing sale. Lots of fancy
wreaths with red ribbons, the ground
work of bronze galax leaves, were made
up. and sold well in the principal stores.
The cut-flower trade must have been
heavy judging from the quantity sold.
Not enough of strictly fancy stock could
be obtained.
As to business since, a large number of
funerals have made white flowers scarce.
For two days alter Christinas not
much stock came in, but each day since
shows an increase. American Beauty is
In full crop, and long stem stock is down
to $G and $8 per dozen. Top price for
teas is $10 to $12. Carnations bring $5
to $6 for fancy, $2 to ^4 for standard;
stock has a tendency to accumulate.
In my last notes Red Bradt was said
to sell readily at $18 per 100; read $8.
Ainong^ S. Evan^ton Growers.
Weiland & Risch, in their old houses
containing 48.000 feet of glass, grow
roses exclusively. The stock consists of
8,000 Beauty, 2,300 Bridesmaid, 2,000
Hride, 1,000 Liberty and 1,000 Golden
Gate. Half the number of Liberty is
grafted, and half on own roots. Those
grafted grow much the stouter, but the
fl.iwers come more single. Own root
stock has furnished the best blooms so
far. The flrm, however. Jays some fault
to the soil, which it is proposed to rectify
another year. Five acr(^s of land have
been bought expressly for the purpose of
furnishing sod. Their new plant covers
.'ifi.OOO feet, and is devoted to carna-
tiotis, in all about 21,000 plants. More
houses will be added ue.\t year. Ernest
Marland, an expert carnationist, has
been engaged to take charge of the car-
nations. A white sport of G. H. Crane,
looks as though it was worth saving,
also a white seedling from Mrs. G. M.

Trade Xotes.
The excellent Christmas business,
noted in our report ot last week has kept
up very satisfactorily. All stock comini:
in has been used up, with a shortage of
some things, particularly good roses.
Prices of these have been well maintained.
Carnations, at no time really scarce,
sold at 3c. to 6c. and were in good demand
New Year's Day. The same can be said

of all colored stock. Quite a few Ameri-
can Beauty roses are seen; they bring
good prices. Violets are in good supply,
with good demand.
New Year's trade was good; quite a
call was experienced for red carnations
and poinsettias.
We have with us just now the first spell
of Winter weather.
Notes on Christmas Business.
Carl Beyer found azaleas the best
selling plants, with palms following.
Greens sold better than usual. In cut
flowers, roses had first choice, with car-
nations next. Mr. Beyer had a very large
decoration for a reception on December
21, in which he used great quantities of
American Beauty and plants. Resold
roses at $2.. 'iO per dozen; carnations at
T.'jc. to $1 per dozen.
Fred C. Weber, in plants, found azaleas
the first choice, poinsettias next. He says
plants sell better every year. Made up
baskets of small palms, etc., when the
price was not over $10 were also excel-
lent sellers.
(Jeorge Waldbart reports an excellent
trade. In plants poinsettias sold best
with him, and more could have been dis-
posed of. While he had a stock of three
or fcjur hundred azaleas on hand it was
not sufficient for the demand. Plants of
stevlH sold well, also palms. Violets
were too high; he had to charge $4 per
100 for California, and more for some
fine doubles. He had a large call for
American Beauty. His largest order. and
probably the largest single order for a
Christmas present ever given in this
town for flowers was for six dozen
American Beauty at $24 per dozen: these
were sent to Hot Springs, Ark. He got
$3 to $5 for ordinary roses, and f 6 to
$24 for Beauty; carnations sold at $1 to
$1.50 per dozen. In quality his stock
was very much better than the average.
Ostertag Bros, made a specialty ol
Christmas green and holly, and did a
larger business than ever. They issued
a price list and got it into the hands of
the merchants; the consequence was a
great sale of stock for store decoration,
hall, and public buildings. They doubled
their last year's sales in cut flowers, of
which, thfy say, the quality was extra
fine Chicago stock, in fact, that city
seems to supply all our largest buvers.
They had some Liberty and got $6 per
dozen for them. Other roses sold at from
$3 to 94 per dozen; Beauty. $6 to $24;
carnations $1 to $1.50 forVed. A good
trade in palms and jardinieres was also
done.
Wm. Schray & Sons do both a whole-
sale and retail business and report trpde
fully equal to last year's, they sold all
they had in the plant line. They did a
good business in assorted boxes of cut
flowers, which is one of the best ways to
sell to an advantage.
We think business, as a whole, was,
perhaps 20 to 25 per cent, better than
last year's, with the qualit.v and quan-
tity of stock much better. Less trouble
was experienced in selling, and it was
easier to get a good price than formerly.

New Orleans, La.
Cliriatmas Trade.
Holiday trade here was very good;
fully 50 per cent, better than last year's.
Almost every florist sold out of every-
thing in the way of cut flowers and
flowering plants. Trees, holly and wild
smilax also sold well. Many of our large
dry goods stores this year were decora ted
with holly and wild smilax. Good roses
wew scarce as a rule. Bride and Brides-
maid sold at$3 per dozen; carnations at
$1.50 per dozen. A great deal of the
stock shipped here was poor: many of
the carnations could not be used. Some
think this is due to the fault of the ship-
pers; others blame the express compa
nies. A movement is on foot among the
florists to approach the express compa-
nies and ask that the.v look better after
the flowers. Sometimes the packages are
placed in the car close to the hot stove,
then, again, they are exposed to the cold.
If this trouble can be overcome, no doubt
many flowers would arrive in much bet-
ter condition.
D. J. Virgin had a display of large
ferns, and a few azaleas in fancy baskets
that sold well. M.Cook & Son had a nice
show of plants, including a few of Bego-
nia Gloire de Lorraine. This plant sells
on sight, wlien well grown. In damp
houses its foliage soon goes wrong. It
wants a light house; plenty of sun, and
to be kept close to the glass. If we could
only get a stock ot it, the same as of
other begonias, it would be a paying
plant to grow. The J. Steckler Seed
Company had the largest display of
Christmas trees; Mr. Steckler said trees
never sold so well as this year. C. W.
Eicbling & Co. had a good display of
trees and plants; tbeiroallasand azaleas
were extra fine. W. Ehem had some nice
pink chrysanthemumsand azaleas. Chas.
Eble says business was good with him;
he could have done much better if his
flowers had arrived in good condition.
Mr. Eble intends putting his new violet
on the market this year. J. H. Menard,
F. Faessel, R. E. .Simon and P. Choppin
all report good trade.
There still is a good sprinkling of
flowers in the gardens; some nice roses
and chrysanthemums are yet to be seen
in some places. We have had a very open
Winter— no frost to do any damage up to
date.
Business in general here seems better
than in many years, not only with the
florists, but with all other classes of
trade. This we may put down to the
good price of cotton, rice, etc. When cot-
ton ia high everything in the South goes
well.
Superintendent E. Baker, of .\nder6on
Park, is just now ver.v bus.v making ex-
tensive improvements in the large hall by
putting in additional piping and radiat-
ors. The system of heating was not suffi-
cient to keep up the temperature in cold
weather. The stock has never looked so
well as this year, and everything in the
park shows great improvement under
Mr. Baker's supervision. He is doing
away with many of the large common
plants, replacingthem with choice ones.
A portionof the park is almost complete,
according to the plans of Mr. Olmsted.
Planting will shortly commence. In
looking over the list of plants given b.y
that gentleman, I doubt if many of them
will give much satisfaction here. What
ia wanted here are plants indigenous to
the South.
J. Steckler bought out his partner, C.
Bartholomew, the first of October last.
The firm will continue under the same
name with J. Steckler, R. Steckler and
Miss Mary Frotschcr, as members.

trade was good. We sold in the three

sand American Beauty roses at from $2

Although we offer this stock at greatly reduced prices,
it is not at the expense of quality which is first-class in every respect.
We guarantee that stock will give entire satisfaction.
We can supply the three varieties used for Easter forcing:

European Notes.
The customary rush to complete ship-
ments before January 1 is fairly over-
whelming us just now, and, like every-
thing else in the unhappy year, is at-
tended with disappointn ents.
At the ports of Antwerp, Genoa, Ham-
burg, Havre and London strikes have
been or are the order of the day, and
as a consequence shippers are continu-
ally subjected to the most vexatious
delays.

As the weather still keeps mild and
moist, practically nothing can yet be
done in the way of seed threshing and
dressing; and as It will need fully 10
days of bright dry. weather to get things
into proper shape, deliveries are bound
to be very late before completion.
Most annoying shortages crop up
every day. Among those that surprise
and trouble ns are parsnip and some of
the finer grades of mangel. Sweet peas
are reported short both in Germany and

A Beautiful ratalogue.
At all times interesting and most in-
structive are the annual catalogues issued
by the firm of James M. Thorhurn & Co ,
New York City, but the 1901, or "Cen-
tury Catalogue,"' of the concern now
being distributed, eclipses ail previous
efforts. In addition to the host of gen-
eral Information usually found in the
yearly catalogue, there are furnished this
year some 28 plates, hnlf-tone reproduc-
tions of photographs of various special-
ties handled by the firm, printed on super-
fine paper, thus showing the subjects to
best advantage. A portrait of Grant
Thorburn, the founder of the house, ap-
pears as a frontispiece. He first laid the
foundation of the now immense enterprise
in 1802, when New York City contained
but 60,000 inhabitants. That the solid
priniiples upon which he built were con-
served by his successors, may be readily
accepted in view of their continued suc-
cess in a business that implies to a pecu-
liar degree the confidence of its clients.
Grant Thorburn retired in 1835, and the
subsequent firm names represent the in-
terest of his son and grandson, George C.
Thorburn and James M. Thorburn, re-
spectively. It was in 1849 that F. W.
Bruggerhof, president of the company
since its incorporation, and for many
years previously its actual head, began
his 50 years' connection with the house.
The remaining officers of the firm are E.
E. Bruggerhof, vice-president and treas-
urer; R. R. MacKenzie, secretary.

Free Seed Distribution.
A further circular on this subject has
just been issued by Burnet Landreth,
Secretary of the Wholesale Seedsmen's
League, and is, in part, as follows :
"In lSi16 the Iree seed distribution amount-
ed to ten millione of packets, wlilch has risen
by gradatione, until now, under the contract
signed by Secretary Wilson. December 14, to
twenty-four millions of packets, an increase
of 140 per cent, in six years
"These twenty-four millions of packets of
seeds, if sold at their normal retail value of
five cents, represent a value of $1,200,000
taken out of the business of the seed mer-
chants. If this thing goes on, it will not be
long before the annual free distribution
amounts to fifty million packets, worth
?2, 500.000.
"The Department of Agriculture, not sat-
isfied with the free distribution. Is now
delilierately going regularly into the seed
business, by requiring tlie con tractor to grow,
by special contract wlih seed farmers, the
required two million pounds of seeds These
seeds are contracted for by the government
contractor in big (lots, consequently at ex-
tremely low prices, and are grown entirely In
excess of normal quantities required by *the
regular seed trade The growing of "these
seeds does not profit the seed merchant to
the extent of one cent, and the seed farmer Is
forced to grow them at starvation prices, so
very low that no assurance can possibly
exist as to their reliability. If the govern-
ment seeds were thrown upon the market, no
reputable seed merchant would purchase
them at an.v pri e, for the reason that every
reputable seed merchant well knows that the
government seeds are likely to be entirely
mislabeled as to variety," as well as im-
pure tn quality.
"The Government lends its credit to the
contractor by giving him a signed contract
in advance of the growing of the seeds.
"This active competition by the Govern-
ment with an established branch of financial
business is radically In opposition to tlie
spirit of the Ship Subsidy bill. Intended to
foster anotlier branch of commerce. There Is
a want of consistency: it fosters one and de-
presses another.
"Seed dealers are found In ever.v town and
hamlet of the land, and they should not be
iu'erfered with any more than dealers in
other farm necessities.
"A distinct line of argument against the
free seed distribution is the cost put upon
the Post-Ofiice Department in the transpor-
tation of two million pounds of free matter
and, additionally the vast labor put upon
post-office employees
" What the seed trade wants is the aboli-
tion of the Congressional distribution as ap-
plied to sorts of seeds obtainable at every
seed store, and la lieu of this an earnest
effort by theGovernment to search out in the
undeveloped portions of Asia. Africa, South
America and the Pacific isles the many
thousands of valuable plants yet unlntro-
duced. Burnet Ija"ndreth.

With the advent of January nursery-
men are compelled to think of the com-
ing Spring. Trees have to be trimmed
up, stock counted, preparations made for
advertising and cataloguing, and list of
prospective customers looked up. The
larger nurseries find Iiardly any respite
from business from Fall to Spring. Early
Summer is the nurseryman's vacation
time.
Already agents of the foreign nurseries
are on their rounds, working for the im-
port trade, as they have to, to get stock
here by the close of March.
Mr. Beard, of the Shady Hill Nurseries,
was in Philadelphia recently. He speaks
in a confident tone of the outlook for a
good Spring business.
Hard-Wood Cuttings ot Shrubs. —
The season has now arrived when nurs-
erymen are busy gathering together
shoots of shrubs from which to make
cuttings later on. Though there are ex-
ceptions, most all shrubs can be increased
from hard-wood cuttings. After New
Year's finds all shoots hardened up and
in good condition tor cutting. Where
many are to he made, as is the case in
large nurseries, it is the practice to do
the cutting of the shoots on favorable
days following New Year's, under shel-
ter, in a shed or cold greenhouse. The
shoots to be cut are those of the past
season's growth. If regard be had for
the flowering of the shrubs, do not cut
away all the young shoots, or no flowers
will appear, as two-year wood does not
flower, nor doshoots of the same season,
unless It be of late-blooming shrubs, such
as Hydrangea paniculata grandiflora. In
which the new shoots give the best
flowers. After the shoots are taken In-
side they are cut into lengths of about
from six to nine inches, tied together in
bundles, labeled and buried up in boxes
of damp sand, in a cool cellar or build-
ing, where they will not dry out, there
to remain till Spring, when they are to
be planted out at the first opportunity.
The cuttings are set in rows, deep in the
soil, leaving above ground but about
two eyes. If the work can be done early,
before the warm weather sets in, but few
of those known to root well under this
system will fail to grow. Almost all of
the best known kinds do well, such, for
instance, as splrtea, weigela, golden bell,
privet, Persian lilac, mock orange,alth8ea,
hydrangea, and the like. Some of the
exceptions are Japanese snowball, the
various viburnums of the dentatum and
pruniolium type, Judas tree, white fringe,
etc. But those not experienced should
try some of all kinds to be had, experi-
ence being better than knowledge gained
in any other way, iMany of the hardy
roses can be rooted in like manner. The
prairie roses, including the type setigeraj
also the Bourssultand other good climb-
ers have been increased in this way.

over, and its flowers are rarely seen, Is
tbe reason that It is so rarely met with In
collections of slirubs at the North. It la
hardy as can be certainly as far north as
New Vork City and further up the coast,
it is closely In alliance with culycantbus;
Indeed It has been known as Calycanthus
priecox. The small yellow flowers open
after a few warm days in late Winter,
and should a week or two of weather
tree from freezing prevail, the blossoms
will perfect themselves. These flowers
possess a delicious odor, one only emit-
ting enough to fairly Bll a room. It is
dltflcult to think of an odor as sweet and
powerful, unless it be that of the Olea
fragrans or the Magnolia fuscata, two
other plants highly esteemed for their
fragrance. Many gardens In the South
possess a plant of the chlmonanthus, and
Id the catalogues of the southern nurs-
erymen It Is to be found.
The best place for It out of doors Is
either lu a quite cold northern exposure,
where its buds will not be enticed out
early, or against a dwelling or fence
where protection could be given Its
flowers, were they to be forced open In
weather likely to be succeeded by cold.
As a pot plant this shrub should find a
ready sale. There Is no particular show
of Bowers, nothing striking, but the per-
fume, as well as its flowering in Winter,
would be a strong recommendation. It
would require but little management to
bring some of the plants In flower at
Christmas and others at Easter.
Vines in Pots.— One of the things
which nurserymen find it pays them to
do is to keep on hand a good supply of
vines in pots. Yes, and florists as well
find a steady demand for such plants.
The pot plant can beset out at any time,
and this of Itself insures many a sale.
A prominent nurseryman once told the
writer that he would be astonished if he
knew the number of persons applying for
wistarias In the month of May. They
see their neighbor's vine in flower, and
post away atonce tothenearest nursery-
man or flurist's to try to buy a similar
one. II there is a pot plant on hand it
Is disposed of at once, but it not, the
order may or may not be given tor one
to be delivered in the Fall. Besides those
who desire to possess a like plant to
what they have seen elsewhere, there are
late plantings to be attended to, of which
there are always a surprising number.
Indeed, not only vines, but trees and
shrubs could be made to pay by the land-
scape gardener. A customer who desired
his place fixed, and who had room tor.
Bay, 100 evergreens, would not be over
particular as to kinds, and the one who
had 100 plants to sell would be pretty
sure to dispose of them to the anxious
one.
Of the very many vines used nowa-
days, the following are the most called
for and would sell well in pots: Akebia,
Virginia creeper, Japanese ivy (Veitchli),
Dutchman's pipe, trumpet vine, clematis,
Carolina jasmine, honeysuckle, passion
vine, variegated grape, common jasmine
and wistaria. These are all hardy vines,
though three of them — the Carolina jas-
mine, passion vine and common jasmine
— are more at home south of Philadel-
phia than north of it. These vines may
be potted at any time when dormant,
preferably lu the Fall, as they then get
solidly settled In their pots before Spring.
A trouble that may arise and which
must be guarded agaiust Is that If
housed in Winter vines push Into leat too
early to be planted out when other plant-
ings are going on, say In April. What I
mean is that trees and shrubs from a
nursery are dormant then, and in order
to complete a planting vines may be re-
quired to beset outat thesametime. Cold
winds, snow or a light freeze may come
and not hurt the trees and shrubs, but
a vine in full luxuriance of foliage would
lose it all. It is, therefore, better to keep
them entirely free from artlflcial beat.
The best place is an open pit, with the
pots entirely covered with tan, sawdust,
hops or some material to keep the plants
from freezing and cracking.
The akebia, honeysuckle and Virginia
creeper, as well as A. Veitchli, start with
very little heat; even that of the open
pit advances them slightly, but not
enough to prevent their being set out as
early as desired. When there Is no choice
but a greenhouse, planting out cannot
be attempted until outside vegetation is
in full leaf. Joseph Meehan.

Polnsettias at Christmas.
Editor Florists' Exchange-
Home 32 years ago I remember going
with a fellow employee to see the sights
on Christmas eve, more especially the
floral displays in one of the suburbs of
London, England, Nottlng Hill, where
Reeves Bros, had their flower store.
Their leader was the Poinsettia pulcher-
rima. This remarkable and magnificent
plant, the distinct character of its bracts,
the size of the heads as produced by this
firm, and the marvelous brilliancy of
color made an Impression on my young
mind that 1 shall never forget. The
Messrs. Reeves at that time had two
greenhouse plants, one at Nottlng Hill,
the other at Acton. The plants raised
at the latter place were very brilliant In
color, while those grown in the former
location were of a rose color. Mr.
Reeves said the difference was altogether
due to light and temperature, as the
plants were all produced from the same
stock.
New York has, it would seem, now
found out that the brilliant poinsettia is
worthy of a Hrst place tor Christmas
decoration, and our florists areinthut
respect just 32 years behind the London
florists.
This reminds me of another circum-
stance. When I started here in Frederic-
ton some 25 years ago, I had one lean-to
greenhouse filled with such stock as
stevia, eupatorium, bouvardia. etc., and
of course some flue, show.y polnsettias.
I sold my surplus flowers to the leading
florist of St. John, our sister city. After
they arrived I received a message from
the lady, "not to send those red things;"
they were no good to make bouquets of.
This so dampened my ardor that I
dumped my stock ot polnsettias, as 1
wanted to grow only what « ould sell.
The poinsettia is a native of Mexico
and is ot easy culture. After flowering,
cut back to two buds ot the old wood.
Place the plants to rest In a moderate
greenhouse, laying the pots on their
sides until Spring. When the plants begin
to show signs of growth, bring them to
the light for a tew weeks, and when all
danger of frost is over, in the Spring,
they may be potted and plunged and
cuttings taken as they grow. Or the old
matured stems may be cut in pieces, put
In sand round the side ot a 6-inch pot,
and with proper treatment they will
make nice plants. About September they
must be housed. The temperature should
not fall below 50 deurees. The poinset-
tia likes moisture. When the bracts be-
gin to expand have the temperature at
night 60 degrees, and 70 to 80 degrees
by day, the plants that get too leggy
can be cut. The secret is to keep them
from losing their lower leaves. The
Loudon florists used to run the bare stem
round the ball of earth, and supported by
a neat stick tied with moss, so that the
support was scarcely noticeable.

Gentiemen: It gives me great pleasure
to be able to say a good word for your new
rose. Rjbert Scott. I am very favorably
Impressea wltb It, because It 1b of that deli-
caie plok color which was always a favor-
ite of mine, and Its free blooming quali-
ties aa seen a abort time agoatyourgreen-
houees Indicate that It will be a profltable
variety for ihe grower, and being of large
size of the regulation bybrld remoncaut
shape. In addition to Its beautiful color,
will make It popular with flower buyers la
general.
I congratulate you most heartily on
your good fortune in the poBseselon of
such a roBe, and the public at large is also
entitled to congratulations In having a
newoomer among roses which will be a
desirable change among pink roses from
the few varieties, now offered for sale to
be selected from.
Very truly yours,
EDWIN LONSDALE.
Produces a 5ure Crop of Pink
Hybrid Roses for Christmas
SEEDLING from Merveille de Lyon crossed with Belle Sie-
brecht, retaining the size, form, color and growth of the
Hybrid Perpetual, with the everblooming qualities of the
Tea Rose. This new rose is practically an Everblooming
Hybrid, and the first o£ a type that will not only flower
profusely during the spring and summer, but will flower
during the winter. It has no tendency to go dormant
during the winter, and every shoot has a flower bud. The habit of growth is
strong and vigorous, with bright green foliage. The buds are of large size,
and are produced on stiff stems with the heavy hybrid foliage almost up to
the bud, like its parent. Merveille de Lyon. The open flower is of immense
size, very douWe, and is almost as beautiful as the half-expanded bud. The
color is new in everblooming roses, and is only seen in the Hybrid Perpetual
class; clear rosy pink, shading to flesh color on the outer petals. Robert
Scott will not only be a very welcome addition to our small list of forcing
roses, but is everybody's rose.
AWARDED HONORS WHEREVER SHOWN. Certificate of Merit and
Silver Medal by Pennsylvania Horticultural Society. Preliminary Certificate
of Merit by American Rose Society. Certificate of Merit in Ireland.
ALL RETAIL FLORISTS ADMIRE ROBERT SCOTT ROSE, and want

ture until morniDg. This is
ONE OF THE FEATURES
of our boilers
as is fully
EXPLAINED BY THE FOLLOWING
letter.
W. D Snill, NewTlUe, Herkimer Co., N. T., Jan. 2(1, 1931, says :
" I wish to expreis my thoroogh Batlefactlon with the No. 70 Standard Sectional
•team boiler wtilch I placed In my KreeabouBes early In December last year. I bave
three bouses, 20x65, located side by elde, witb Klass Id roofs and gables. The boueea
are built of glaes and wood, and contain Id all about 5000 equare feet glass surface.
I have Id use about 2000 f "et one-inch pipe, or about 700 equtire feet of radiation. I
carry a temperature of about 50 degrees at Dlght, but have had no difficulty In Ret-
ting any h'gber temperature desired. I find that the boiler will ran ten hours
wlinout attention. I attend to It about nine o'clock at night and It will run with no
further attention until eeveo o'clock In the morning. The draft I have Is not a good
one, yet not wItb standing this objection, I have no difficulty In getting the fire up
and getting as much steam as I deolre.
''I can thoroughly recommend the boiler and will be glad to have you refer
to me any one that wants further Information."

OBITUARY.
Fred S, Walz.
It is my painful duty to report the
deatli of Fred S. Waiz, of Cumminsville,
Cincinnati, O., which occurred Friday
morning, January 4. He was stridden
with paralysis Saturday evening, Decem-
ber 29, followed on Monday night by a
second stroke, just as the twentieth cen-
tury was dawning. From this stroke he
never rallied. He was in his fiftieth year.
Mr. Walz was born in the Isle of Bour-
bon, South Africa. At the age of 12 he
went with his parents and family to
Switzerland, where they remained about
two years. Coming to America in 1865,
he located at the present residence. The
early years of his life were spent on his
father's coffee plantation in Africa. On
reaching America he commenced in the
florist's business, in which he has been
very successful.
The trade owe thanks to him for the
chrysanthemums The Queen, H. L. Sun-
derbruch, Bettie Fleischman, and Mrs.
Potter Palmer, which set he introduced
in 1890 and 1893. Hewasaman always
cordial and had a pleasant word for all;
was a devoted father and a kind hus-
band. He leaves a widow and five chil-
dren, two sisters and one brother to
mourn his loss. His eldest son, Ired A.
Walz, Jr., is in charge of the city green-
houses under Superintendent Critehell.
The funeral services took place at the
German Lutheran Church, Cummins-
ville, Sunday afternoon, and was largely
attended by the craft. Interment was in
Spring Grove Cemetery. The floral trib-
utes were many and beautful.

The annual meeting ot the Dutchess
County Horticultural Society was held
January 2.
The exhibition committee's report that
the violet award should remain as de-
cided by the judges was accepted. A
resolution was passed changing the hour
of meeting from 1:30 to 4 p.m.; also
that the society meet monthly instead
of quarterly, as it had been doing the
past year. It was decided to hold the
annual dinner on the evening of February
6. The committee appointed to arrange
for the dinner consists of Messrs. Clar-
ence Reynolds, William Schickle, and
Robert Good.
The secretary's report showed the
number of active members in good stand-
ing to be 94; honorary members, 2G;
life member, 1; total, 112. Fifteen new
members were added during the year,
and 17 were either lost sight of, dropped
from the roll, or resigned.
The election of officers for the ensuing
year resulted as follows: President,
James Blair; vice-president, William G.
.Salttord; treasurer, Charles Mitchell, and
secretary, W. G. Gomeraail.
A resolution was passed changing the
by-laws so that the treasurer should re-
ceive the members' dues and other monies
direct, instead of through the secretary.
It was decided to accept the invitation
of Mr. Lyman Brown, and meet at his
residence. No. 33 Fifth Avenue, Pough-
keepsie, on February (5, at 4 p. m.

The Market.
There has been a lull in the retail
business this week sufficient to cause
flowers to accumulate in the wholesale
houses, although the supply is not large.
Orders for dinners, balls, etc., and theater
trade have constituted the bulk of the
business going. Funeral work has also
been very extensive.
In most ot the decorations this week
plants only were used, plenty of azaleas
heng now on band. Hugh Graham had
a large hall decoration at Horticultural
Hall on Tuesday last, at which quanti-
ties of pink azaleas and Begonia Gloire
de Lorraine were employed.
Clab Meeting:.
There was but a slim attendance
at the meeting Tuesday evening; no
doubt many had forgotten about the
meeting, owing to it being a week later
this month. E. Hemming read an excel-
lent paper on " Herbaceous Plants for
Florists' Use," which will appear in full
in next issue. The subject for the next
meeting will be " The Best Ferns lor Flo-
rists and Why," by C. W. Cox.
News Items.
Stephen Mortensen is sending to S.
S. Pennock some grand Liberty roses,
which are selling at $6 per dozen. They
are the best yet seen here, and clearly
demonstrate that this rose is a good one
and can be done well.
Aldrich Pennock maintains his reputa-
tion as a grower of first-class valley.
He uses an extra quality ot pips, and has
no difficulty in getting a high price; $5
per 100 is the present figure. At Christ-
mas this valley sold at $8 In New York,
In spite of the wholesalers there saying
it could not be obtained.

Brooklyn, N. Y
The driver of Hicks & Crawbuck'steam
had a narrow escape from a serious acci-
dent on Monday morning last. The
driver, with his horse and wagon, was
on his way to Hoboken to meet the roses
from Jersey, and whllecrossing Brooklyn
Bridge a runaway team came up behind
and dashed into the wagon, upsetting it
and almost throwing the driver over the
parapet of the bridge. A trolley car hap-
pened along at the same time and could
not avoid the niix-up. The sideof the car
caught the wagon of Hicks & Crawbuck
and dragged it and the horse, which was
down at the time, tor a considerat)le dis-
tance. The horse, wagon and harness
were considerably damaged, but it was
fortunate that nothing more serious
occurred.
Madison, N. J.
The Morris County Gardeners and
Florists' Society held its annual "smoker"
on Wednesday evening, January 9.
About 70 people enjoyed the entertain-
ment provided
As a preliminary, a short business meet-
ing was held. The reports of the secre-
tary and treasurer were read, being of a
very gratifying nature. The treasurer
reported a cash balance on the right side
amounting to f449.57, and the secre-
tary's report announced a membership
of 57 In good standing.
A. Herrington, on behalf of the mem-
bers of the society, in a few well-chosen
words presented a handsome gavel to
President W. A. Duckham. The speaker
implied in his remarks that as Mr. Duck-
ham had been reelected to the office of
president so many times, and although
he had always filled the office with such
perfect satisfaction to all concerned, see-
ing that he (the president) had been sug-
gesting new year resolutions to them,
perhaps a new gavel would help him to
enforce his ideas with more rigor, though
that seemed hardly possible.
Mr. Duckham was taken completely hy
surprise, and thanked the members briefly
lor their appreciation. A vote of thanks
was given the members who helped to
win the $100 prize at the convention ex-
hibition in New York in August last, after
which the smoker commenced in earnest.
Cigars, coffee, sandwiches and sherbet
were handed around, and a vaudeville
entertainment provided by local talent,
assisted b.v H. Lester, a professional en-
tertainer from New York. Among the
visitors were .Tohn N. May, J. E. Lager
and H. Hurrell from Summit, N. J.; J.
Hayes, M. McRorie and George Smith,
from the New Jersey Florlcultural Socie-
ty, and several friends Irom New York.

The program of the WorcesterCounty,
Mass., Horticultural Society for 1901
has been issued. The subjects to be dis-
cussed during the year include the Rais-
ing of Orchids from Seed, by E. O. Orpet;
Jamacia, by John Farquhar; Marlset
Gardening, etc.
Treasurer Edgar Sanders, of the Chi-
cago Galveston Relief Fund, reports re-
ceipts of $15 on behalf of the fund from
the Kentucky Society of Florists, through
E. H. Kunzman, its treasurer. This
amount brings the Chicago total up to
?57.3.10.
We shall begin in next issue the publi-
cation of the series of plans entered in
our Home Grounds Competition, tor-
gether with the descriptive text, and Mr.
Warren H. Manning's commentaries
thereon. These will be found of great
value not only to the original designers
of the plans, but to the florist and nurs-
ery trade in general.
Representatives of the horticultural
and entomological departments of sev-
eral Eastern and Northern Central States
met Friday, Jan. 4, at thePalmer House,
Chicago, for a conference concerning
the methods and objects for the horticul-
tural inspection vpork under legislative
authority. This meeting resulted in the
formation of a national society of horti-
cultural Inspectors, of which Prof. S. A.
Forbes, State Entomologist of Illinois,
was elected president. The society will
hold its next meeting in connection with
the annual convention of the colleges and
experiment stations. All persons officially
connected with the inspection of nurseries
ind other horticultural property in the
United States or Canada are eligible to
membership.
The custom of providing members with
a number corresponding to that appear-
ing in the badge book is becoming quite
popular among our large horticultural
societies. By this means identification
of individual members is rendered easy,
and an informal introduction accom-
plished. As indorsing a previous sugges-
tion along these lines, why not number
each member of the S. A. F. O. H. in the
proceedings, and provide each with a re-
printot such membership list amended to
date at convention time, along with a
badge corresponding to that number,
with the object of easy introduction in
view?
A German horticultural journal is offer-
ing a prize of 10,000 marks to the indi-
vidual who procures a blue rose. The
color must not be obtained through arti-
ficial means, but must be natural. It
must not be of the red bluish shade as
that found in the variety Reine Marie
Henriette, but the blue of the Italian
sky or that of the ocean. La Semaine
Horticole says " it is easy to offer a large
prize for an improbable product, and it
is possible that rosarians will not take
the matter seriously."
The smooth leaves of a species of holly
(Ilex aquifoiium Hendersonii) and the
scarlet fruit clusters of Crattegus pyra-
cantha Lelandii were largely used in Lon-
don the past season in the making of
bright Christmas wreaths.
The friends and admirers of Mr. E. T.
Miller , of Bracondale, Ont., recently ten-
dered him a banquet in recognition of
the interest he has taken in township
matters, and also to show appreciation
of his services to horticulture.
Publishers' Notice.
The publishers call attention to a num-
ber of changes in the prices of carnation
cuttings in advertisement of Peter Rein-
berg, page 35 of this issue, as there
were some mistakes in the printing last
week. Attention is also called to the addi-
tion of several prices per thousand In ad-
vertisement of George Reinberg on same

Realism in Funeral Designs.
For the obsequies of a commercial
traveler and former electric railroad man
of Bangor, Me., Carl Beers, florist, sup-
plied some realistic funeral designs.
The one moat in evidence was the re-
production of an electric car, sent by the
employees of the Bangor Street Railroad
and friends. The dimensions of the car
were 3x4 feet; it was made on the lines
of an ordinary street car, the body being
composed of Bride roses, lily of the valley
and violets Interlaced with maidenhair
fern. The car stood on two rails raised
from a plateau, or bank, of pink, white
and dark red carnations. Appropriate
lettering marked the design. A trolley
rose from the car and was made of hya-
cinths on a green bed, and from which
was suspended a silken cord of white.
Another design represented the emblem
of the Commercial Travelers' Union and
consisted of a large half clrcle"or crescent
from which was suspended by two chains
a traveler's grip; the whole piece being
made of Bridesmaid roses, lily of the val-
ley, hyacinths, violets and maidenhair
fern.
Complimentary Dinner to
President S. A. F. 0. H. O'Mara.
Thursday evening, January 10, was a
proud night for the genial and able presi-
dent of the S. A. F., Patrick O'Mara, of
New York City, when about eighty of
his confrSres assembled in the St. Denis
Hotel to express, in the very tangible
form of a complimentary dinner, their
great appreciation of the valuable serv-
ices rendered by Mr. O'Mara to the cause
of American floriculture, and as a token
of the high esteem in which he is held by
the craft the whole country over. As a
slight remembrancer of the joyous occa-
sion, Mr. O'Mara was also presented
with a gold scarf pin, containing an
emerald surrounded by diamonds. The
tables were beautifully decorated with
cut flowers. Among the gentlemen from
a distance were Wm. C. Barry, of Roches-
ter, ex-Presidents S. A.F. O. H. Wood, of
Boston, and Gude, of Washington; Vice-
President Wm. F. Kasting, of Buffalo;
John Burton, Wm. P. Craig, and George
D. Clark, of Philadelphia; J. F. Hush,
Lenox, Mass., and others.
Mr. Charles B. Weathered acted as
toastmaster and was in his happiest
vein. He said that he had been selected
after having been examined as to his
qualifications for a toastmaster on a
scale of points, and having scored 95 the
job was assured to him. Alter touching
upon the fact that those present were
assembled " to do honor to one who by
his indefatigable and well-placed labor
In the last decadehad done more for hor-
ticulture than any one man," he called
upon William J. Stewart, of Boston, to
respond to the toast, "Our Honored
Guest."
Mr. Stewart said: "When by the neces-
sities of organization and order it be-
comes our duty to select men to fill posi-
tions of authority and trust, we choose
from among our number those that we
regard as capable and worthy of the
honor we have to bestow. The only last-
ing honor, however, that can come to
the individual thus singled out is largely
due to the fidelity, the ability, and indus-
try that he brings to the responsibilities
that are intrusted to him. Then, when
we have put him to the test, and have
got the full measure of the man, when
problems have been met and solved, when
the fight has been made and the victory
won, when the record has been written
and we find it clean — then It is that an
occasion such as this to-night is appro-
priateand significant. [Hear! hear! and
applause.] We have come from the north,
from the south, the east and the west
around this festal hoard, all actuated by
the same impulse — to honor and to testify
as best we can in this very pleasant so-
cial manner our esteem for a man whom
we have proved to be worthy of it all,
and to speak to him those sublime words
of approbation, ' Weil done, good and
faithful servant.' [Applause.] And in
thus honoring him we ail agree we are
benefiting ourselves, for the world offers
no greater, no better Incentive to enter-
prise and manly effort than the infiuence
of a good example. Such gatherings as
this, with such an object in view as we
have to-night, but sweeten and ennoble
our lives, strengthen our courage, cement
our friendships and lead us to better and
more successful ambitions in every way.
I do not wish to take up your time by
trying to recount to you, his life-long
friends, who know and feel so much better
than I can express, the gratitude we owe
to Mr. O'Mara, for what we know to
have been perhaps in the record of the
New York Florists' Club and in Ameri-
can horticulture, the grandest year that
we have as horticulturists seeu in this
country. [Applause.] You know bet-
ter than I can express the enduring lus
ter that he has given to the New York
Florists' Club, by the tactful, wise ad-
ministration of its affairs during the
past year under his leadership as presi-
dent. With intuitive tact and remarka-
ble wisdom he has brought together and
harmonized divergent elements, rallied
his forces, and with them he has gone
over and through obstacles that would
have frightened many men, and here we
stand on the threshold of another year,
calling him to greater responsibilities
and pledging him our fealty for the days
that are to come." Turning to the
guest, Mr. Stewart continued: "Mr.
O'Mara, that is why we are here to-night.
You are surrounded by your friends, and
that you may not forget this very pleas-
ant occasion, they have asked me to pre-
sent to you this little pin. It comes from
the heart of every man in this room, and
of many more who would have liked to
have been here. May its little green
stone ever remind you of the untold
love, the ever-green and never-dying
esteem in which you are held bj' the hor-
ticulturists of America." [Long- con-
tinued applause.]
At th'ii point letters of regret of inabil-
ity to be present were read by Secretary
Young from the following parlies, all ex-
pressing the high esteem in which they
lield the guest of the evening, and testify-
ing to Ills ability and genial spirit :
Messrs. William R. Smith, Wai-hington;
Messrs. Ewell, Norton, Welch, Cotter
and Mathieon, of Boston; Benjamin
Durfee, E. G. Hill, W. N. Rudd. William
Scott, who is sick with the grip; Samuel
Thome, Daniel B. Long, Judge Hoitt,
William Falconer, Alex. MacLellan, W.
W. Coles, Philip Breitmeyer, Dr. Britton,
Francis Brill, W. Atlee Burpee, J. F.
Cowell, H. A. Slebrecht, A. T. De LaJ
Mare and G. C. Watson.
Mr. O'Mara, on rising to respond, re-
ceived a grand ovation. That he keenly!
appreciated his position was very evi-l
dent, but during the tryingordeal which f
he faced his native humor never forsook!
him, and his remarks were punctuated!
with roars of laughter from the enthu- '
siastic audience. After referring to his
Inability to voice the feelings which ani-
mated him at seeing this splendid tribute
of the affection and regard in which he
was held by his fellow craftsmen, Mr.
O'Mara disavowed that he had deserved
It, but he claimed that each man should
do, when the tiniecomes, what his fellow
men call upon him to do. "It is only
his duty, it is only his right, it is only
what he owes to the age in which he
lives, what he owes to the spirit of prog-
ress, what he owes to the time in which
he is makinghls pilgrlmageon this earth,
to put forth his beat effort, to forget
for the moment himself and his littleselfish
surroundings, and to do, as God has given
him strength, all in his power to aid his
fellow man, to aid his nation, and
whatever movementmay begoiugalong.
That is the spirit that has actuated me
at all times; that is the spirit which I
trust in God will continue to actuate me
until six feet of clay stands over me. I
hardly know what to say. At all events,
I wish to state that no matter what
tribute you may lay at my feet, meta-
phorically speaking, you will be sure of
one thing — that while I appreciate it at
Its highest, you will always find me, in
season and out, when work has to be done,
the same old ' Pat.' [Loud applause.]
Touching on the work of the S. A. F.,
Mr. O'Mara briefly recounted its history
and the good work it has accomplished,
work that had been marvelous beyond
the dream of the men who first formed
the society. He was proud to have as-
sisted in some of its most important
movements, as that in obtaining a re-
duction of express rates and other legis-
lative subjects. He spoke of the great
good resulting to civilization througli the
concessions obtained from the Govern-
ment in the matter of reduced postage on
seeds, etc. Mr. O'Mara predicted one of
the grandest meetings in Buffalo this
year, and referred to the Pan-American
Exposition, at which he believed more
time, more study, more thought to the
development of horticulture would be
given than at any other exposition ever
held.
Speaking of the work of tlie New York
Florists' Club, Mr. O'Mara urged the
necessity of every member endeavoring
to make the forthcoming exhibition In
the Madison Square Garden a grand suc-
cess. "The whole country looks to New
York to make such an exposition, and it
is what the florists of the city and sur-
roundings owe to the public. In closing,
Mr. O'Mara said: "I fully appreciate the
honor you have bestowed upon me this
evening. It shall remain with me as long
as I live. It shall be the incentive to
further action on my part to promote
the Interest of horticulture." [Loud ap-
plause.]
Mr. W. C. Barry responded to the toast
"Our Country." He said he had come
from Rochester to pay his respects to
Mr. O'Mara, for he felt that when a man
who had done for horticulture as much
as the guest had done, he deserved at
least at the hands of American horticul-
turists some token of esteem and ap-
preciation. Mr. Barry spoke in glowing
terms of the work of American horticul-
turists, which ranked second to none in
the world, and would still reach a higher
standard through the earnest coopera-
tion of those engaged in the work.
Speaking more directly to the toast, he
said tliat the other nations of the world
were now beginning to know that our
country amounted to something; it took
a few battles to convince them of this,
but It was done. [Loud applause.]
The toast " Our Profession " was
handled by Mr. May in his usual able

manner. He touched upon the wonder-
ful strides made by those engaged in
florists' worlc in the past, and predicted
that some of the greatest attainments
now evident would be forgotten in the
next decade, as flowers ami plants far in
advance of those now seen would be
secured within that period. He spoke
also ot the spread of the work of the
landscape architect, which was now
more largely in evidence all over the
country.
Ex-President S. A. F. O. H. William F.
Gude, of Washington, replied to the
toast "Our Societies." After paying a
compliment to Mr. O'Mara, he said the
Society of American Florists and Orna-
mental Horticulturists was in the role
of the Roman mother introducing her
children with the proud expression,
" These are my jewels." The offspring
of the national body were her jewels,
and in proportion to their strength
and vigor was the pride of the
mother. Their activity, growth, and
and success were inexpressibly advanta-
geous to the advancement of the main
organization, and there sliould never be
a time in the history of our absorbing
work that these suljordinate and spe-
cialty branches of the subject should not
receive most hearty recognition and en-

couragement. The speaker then went on
to teff of the grand results achieved by
the vfi^ious auxiliary societies. His re-
mapkff^ere greeted by loud applause.
Among other toasts that followed
were "Our Literature," responded to by
James W. Withers, of American Garden-
ing. He said that American literature
led the world, and spoke feelingly of the
men, past and present, who had contrib-
uted to that successful culmination.
"Our Past Times" wasreplied toby Alex.
S. Burns. He believed that " all work
and no play make Jack a dull boy." If
the boy did not indulge in pastimes be
would be dull in business. The speaker
counseled, "When you are at business, set
your whole mind on business, and when
at recreation, set your whole mind on
recreation," although he advised modera-
tion In all things. He claimed that in
responding to the toast he was acting as
a substitute tor one of the best orators
in the country, William Scott, of Buffalo,
and that that applause which would
have been extended to that gentleman
be now given to the present speaker.
[Laughter.]
Ex-President Wood, of Boston, re-
sponded to "The Ladles" in a very grace-
ful manner. Samuel Henshaw replied for
"Our Gardeners." William Kasting made
a few remarks on behalf of the Pan-
American Exposition and the S. A. F.
meeting in Buffalo in 1901, and assured
all of a most instructive time on that
occasion. Alex. Wallace replied for the
"Trade Press," and Walter F. Sheridan,
who was received with loud and contm-
ued applause, made a few brief remarks
on behalf of the committee, feeling It an
honor to succeed as president of the Flo-
rists' Club the guest of the evening. The
midnight hour had been reached before
the jovial party dispersed, with the sing-
ing of "Auld Lang Syne."
The committee consisted of Messrs.
John N. May, A. T. De La Mare, W. F.
Sheridan, John Young, 0. B. Weathered,
Alex. Wallace, John I. Raynor, William
J. Stewart and Lawrence Hafner, to
whom great credit is due for the grand
success attending the affair.
New York.
The Market.
The cut-tlower trade assumed a
rather (julet tone at the beginning of this
week, and with the rainy, disagreeable
weather experiened on Thursday the last
straw seemed to have been reached, and
business actually became dull.
Flowers along nearly all lines are In-
creasing In numbers daily, and values
must suffer accordingly.
A notable feature of the market this
week has been the fall In price of fancy
carnations; these, through some cause
or other, havemet with a pronounced re-
buff. There is an Impression abroad that
these fancy blooms are allowed to stay
on the plants too long, the flowers thus
completing their growth fully before
being cut. In the meantime the stems of
the flowers have become hardened, or rip-
ened, as it were, and will not admit a
sufficient amount ot moisture to pass up-
ward, thereby curtailing materially the
keeping qualities ot the flower. Be that
as it may, the price of fancy carnations
has decreased considerably, and the
grower who bet a Knox silk hat that the
variety Mrs. Thomas W. Lawsou would
sell at $6 per dozen at wholesale before
Easter, stands a remarkably fine chance
of losing the hat.
Roses are not In very heavy supply,
yet there is enough for all demands.
Some low prices have been recorded as
far down as $1 per 100.
Tulips have begun to arrive and bring
from 35c. to 50c. per dozen. The stems
are rather short as yet. Roman hya-
cinths. Paper White narcissus and Trum-
pet Major narcissus are the flowers that
are most in excess of the demand. Some
new crop lily of the valley Is coming in;
It is rather scant of foliage yet and, of
course, brings the lowest quoted price.
The supply and demand of orchids is
pretty evenly balanced, and no change
in values is noted.
Violets are quite plentiful; a few of the
specials reach the stores at reasonable
figures, but the great majority find their
way into the hands of the peddlers at
extremely low prices.
Harrisii lilies clean out quite well when
they are good. Callas seem to go only
slow.
Among the Betailen.
The Rosary Co. (J. H. Troy, mgr.)
did the elaborate decorations at the
grand ball given by W. C. Whitney at
his city home, 68th Street and Fifth Ave-
nue, on Friday, the4th Inst. The princi-
pal features of the decorations were the
large amount of costly fiowers and plants
used, the flowers consisting mainlyof cat-
tleyas and American Beauty roses, and
the plants, in basket form only, of Bego-
nia Gloire de Lorraine. In the ball room
the electric light shades were covered
lightly with asparagus, and bunches of
cattleyas were then fastened among the
vine. In the conservatory were hung
many large plants of Begonia Gloire de
Lorraine, and where the walls would
permit. Southern smilax and asparagus
were used. For the luncheon tables cat-
tleyas and American Beauty were used;
the favors also consisted of cattleyas. Al-
together it took several thousands ot
these flowers to fill the requirements.
Jotting!.
The first meeting of the year of the
New York Florists' Club, at which the

evening, January 14, in the Elk Rooms,
corner of 27th Street and Broadway, at
8 o'clock. The Bowling Club will meet In

J. L. Dillon, of Bloomsburg, Pa., was
in town this week, also Benjamin Dor-
rance, of Dorranceton, Pa.
"I don't think these here free govern-
ment seeds is much," said the gentleman
with the horny hands and BtrHg^ling
beard. "You don't?" retorted the gen-
tleman of slmllarcharacterlstics. " W'y,
look here, I raised so many different
kinds of new weeds from the last batch
of government seeds that enough college
professors come to the place to study
'em last Summer to payfer a new barn."

The Pl-Orists' Exchkngb.
Greenhouses on a Side Hill.
The Establishment of J. L. Dillon,
BLOOMsenRG, Pa.
In answer to your request I will try to
gic^e yon a description of our side hill
greenhouses (of which I inclose a photo-
graph), and the advantages and disad-
vantages which we have found after
eight years' use.
Our houses are situated on a hillside,
facing the southeast, with a slope of
about 23 feet to the 100.
Our sub-soil is a sandy loam which
gives us perfect drainage, while in our
fields adjoining the greenhouses we have
a superior quality of soil. Three hundred
feet up a ravine, on the east side, we
liave a well, 19 feet deep, from which we
have been able to pump 12,000 gallons
of water a day.
When we purchased this piece of
ground we considered it the ideal spot
for greenhouses, and we made our plans
to build the houses in such a way as to
eave all the labor possible. We first laid
out our boiler house so that the ashes
from the boilers could be wheeled out on
the level and dumped over the bank. We
arranged our greenhouses so that the
lowest end of our steam pipes for radiat-
ing purposes were five feet above the
water line in our boilers, thereby return-
ing our water quicliiy to our boilers. We
gave our greenhouses a slope toward our
boiler house of 2 feettothe 100 (one foot
would have been sufficient); this insures
perfect drainage in our return steam
pipes, in our walks and in our gutter
plates. We made our posts of concrete
(stone, sand and cement). They are 4
feet high, and the rise in the ground from
one row of posts to the other is 5 feet.
This allows us to have all our walks and
benches, except the front one, on the solid
ground.
The greenhouses are 22 feet wide and
200 to 300 feet in length; the short span
to the north is (i feet and the long span to
the south 18 feet. Those benches on the
south side of some of the houses, which
would be shaded, we raised up near the
glass, and use them for propagating,
grafting and the growth of potted stock.
We made no partition between the
houses, and found that by putting a lit-
tle extra piping in the lower house we
had no trouble in heating all of them per-
fectly. We grow carnations in these
lower houses and roses in the upper
house very successfully.
Our first houses were built with iron
rafters and purUns, but the last houses
erected have been made entirel.vof wood;
they arecjieaperand justas satisfaetor,y.
Ourglass is butted, 10 xl-l and 10 x l.'j
sizes being used, and is perfectly satisfac-
tory. We use on top of our sash bars
a zinc strip made of No. 9 zinc, IV2 inches
wide, which not only holds the glass in
place, but protects the sash bars from
the sun and weather, thereby saving
paint and painting and prolonging the
lite of the sash bars.
We would here give a word of warning
to those who live in dusty or smoky
places, not to butt their greenhouse
Our steam heating is done in such a
way as to best heat all the air in the
houses, and have the heat where it is
needed most; the 21/2-inch supply pipe
running about 18 inches under the ridge
and the 114-inch return pipes distributed
in the manner shown in the accompany-
ing sketch.
We have our steam so arranged that
our fireman at the boiler house can, when
he has 25 pounds of steam, put the steam
tiirough all the houses by opening two
valves and drain all the air and cold
water out of the pipes and discharge it
outside in 10 minutes. When the steam
is distributed through the greenhouses
he returns the condensed water to the
boilers without leaving the boiler house.
Ventilation is obtained by 3 x 6 hot-
bed sash placed every two feet at the
back of the houses, with a continuous ven-
tilator on the south side of the ridge.
This gives us perfect ventilation in the
hottest days of Summer.
The side walls of all our solid beds are
made of concrete (one part cement and
five parts anthracite coal ashes from our
boilers) four inches thick. This makes a
lietter wall than brick and is very much
cheaper.
We have on our place, planted with car-
nations, 13,000 square feet of sub-water-
ing beds, a description of which we shall
leave for another article.
We have two reservoirs on the top of
the hill above our greenhouses, one for
clear water and one for manure water,
into which we pump water from our
well. We have a steam pump, but we can
use either reservoir, whenever necessary,
without running the pump.
The only disadvantage which we have
found in this situation for greenhouses is
the going up and down hill, especially
when there is something to carry; but
when we compare this trouble with that
in greenhouses on the level, where it is
necessary to have them separate and
there is a longer distance to travel, we
question where a greater amount of
energy is expended. To make the walks
easier and reduce the grade, we made
the ends of the houses up the hill on an
angle, as will be seen in the photograph.
Among the advantages of these side-
hill greenhouses are the following:
Labor is saved in handling coal and
ashes.
Perfect circulation of steam, and labor
saved in putting it through the houses.
Perfect drainage of every steam pipe in
the houses, and no clicking in the pipes.
Direct sunlight on all our beds, even in
the dull days of December.
All roses and carnations on the solid
bed are near the light, so that we have
all the advantages of raised benches.
The ventilation is perfect; no side
draughts on the lower beds.
Slight danger from Are, there being
no woodwork, except in the outside of
houses, the sash bars and gutter plates.
Posts and sides of the solid benches are
almost indestructible.
The houses being connected, they are
much easier to heat than it detached,
and there is a large saving of coal.
The cost of building side-hill green-
houses is much cheaper than if they were
built on the level and detached.
Bloomsburg, Pa. J. L. Dillon.
As is well known, Mr. Dillon is a very
successful grower of roses, carnations,
verbenas and other stock. He is now
placing on the market a new and very
promising white carnation named Queen
Louise, the habit and florlferousness of
which are well shown in the picture.
(11; Fungus in Violet Bed.—
Lakeview. — The growth which you
transmitted is Peziza versiculosa, one of
the so-called cup fungi. It is very com-
mon in manure and very probably was
introduced through it into the violet
bed. As in the case of mushrooms, it
grows from spawn and will continue to
appear in the bed until the strength of
the spawn is expended. So far as known
it is not a parasite, and Is not likely to
Sketch Showing J. L. Dillon's Heating System.
(9) Sheep Manure for Carna-
tions.— Would pulverized sheep manure
be a good fertilizer for carnations as a
top-dressing? If so, at what rate should
it be applied ? The beds were planted be-
ginning of Setember. Compost contains
one-sixth manure and a small quantity
of bone meal.
—The pulverized sheep manure will
make an excellent top-dressing for the
carnations, but it must be used carefully.
Mix the manure with any good soil, using
equal proportions of both. .After thor-
oughly mixing together, spread It on the
benches, about half an inch thick.

glass, as the dust will make its way be-
tween the glass and shade the underside,
unless frequently washed off, which is
quite a job.
As stated, our houses are from 200 to
300 feet long, and we have wide doors
at each end, so that we can drive a two-
horse team through; haul in the soil
direct from the field and carry back the
old soil to take its place. We do this by
using two or three teams and two gangs
of men, one in the field aud one Jn tSe
bouse,
In this style of houses there is very lit-
tle wood wf)rk to rot out, and the cost
of. repairs, except for painting, is very
little.
The natural drainage of the hillside
cilrries away the water from heavy rains
quickly and gives no trouble.
The cemented reservoirs on the hill are
cheaper and bettor than wooden tanks,
and they cost less.
B.v driving through the houses when
we haul our soil in and out, we save one^
hall the labor.
Flowering. — What is thereason my Cali-
fornia violet plants do not bloom? The
plants were field-grown and planted in
the beginning of September. They are
perfectly healthy and are full of buds, but
these do not seem to grow.— Soscbiber.
—The reason why the violets do n.ot
flower freely, seeing that they are per-
fectly healthy, is hard to determine. Per-
haps the soil is too poor. We would
suggest a watering with weak liquid
manure.once every 10 daye,
prove at all serious. It is advisable to
gather the fruits and burn them, other-
wise the spores they produce will reseed
the soil. It would hardly be practicable
so late in the season to try to rid the soil
of the fungus, as this can be done only
by steam sterilization. — Albekt F.
Woods, rjnited States Department of
Agriculture.
(12) Water Cress in July and Au-
gust.—Can you tell me how I can furnish
watercress through July and August?
1 have a fine lot, but every season when
it is time to cut, it is always in " blow."
Must it be kept cut, and will that stop it
from blooming?— P. J. S.
—To have water cress fit for cutting
during July and August, the preceding
crop must be cut away by the middle of
June. If the cress is grown where the
water can be turned aside when the last
crop in June is taken, cover the bed
about an inch deep with well-rotted cow
dung, then allow the water to overflow
again, and a supply of water cress dur-
ing July and August will be assured.
(13) Heating. — Inclosed you will
find a rough sketch of two houses we are
to build this year. We wish to use hot
water for heating, and don't know any-
thing about piping the houses, or how
much pipe, or how to locate expansion
tank, etc. We have on hand 400 feet of
lii-inch pipe, 300 feet of 1 i/4-inch pipe,
100 feet of 21/2-inch pipe, which we desire
to use in house No. 2. In house No. 1 we
wish to use 2-ineh pipe; the pipe in both
houses, except the flows, to be hung on
the walls. Please tell us how the piping
should go in, expansion tank, etc., also
where to place the valves so that we can
shut off part of the radiation. We have
had considerable experience in steam fit-
ting, but don't know whether that will
help us nut or not. We are abdut 40
miles south of Indianapolis and 100
miles north of Louisville.- Rott.
—House No. 1 is 100 by 20 feet, even
span, with 12 feet in each slope. The
south wall is 5 feet high, including 16
inches of glass. The temperature desired
is .'jO degrees. The boiler shed is at the
west end, but the east end is exposed.
House No. 2 is three-quarter span, 90 by
18 feet, with slopes of 12 and 7 feet. This
house is built against the other, and has
an office at the east and a potting shed
at the west end. The north wall is 6 feet
high. The temperature desired is 58 de-
grees. House No. 1 can be heated with
two 2Vl-inch flows and eight 2-inch re-
turns. The flow on the south side can
be close up to the plate, where it will not
obstructthe light. If properly supported,
a slope of an inch in 20 feet will free it of
air, which Is all that is required. The
other flow may be on the north wall, but
it will give a more even distribution if it
is carried on the center posts 30 tncbei

below the ridge. The pipes In house No.
2 should consist of two S'/o-inch flows,
lour 2-lneh, three 11/2-inch and four 114-
Inch returns. The arrangement of the
flow pipes can he thesame asln the other
house, and In each house five of the
2-lnch returns should be placed on the
south wall, and the others on the north.
If the bollerhasbut a single port a 4-inch
pipe will be needed tosupply both houses,
while If a flow and return lead from each
house to the boiler, they can be 3-inch.
The main pipes can run along the end
of the houses and connect with the pip-
ing. Especially if any of the pipes are
run overhead it will be well to have the
main flow pipe or pipes rise at once to
a height about 18 inches lower than the
ridge of the highest house, and at the top
connect with the expansion tanii with a
114-inch pipe. The tank can be of heavy
galvanized Iron, and should hold about
20 gallons. About six inches from the
top of the tank there should be a 1-inch
overflow pipe. From the point where
the expansion tank isconnected, the pipes
should have a slight fall through the
houses and back to the boiler. No air
valves will be required, but a valve upon
each of the 2i/^-inch flows or returns, or
both, will be desirable. While the expan-
sion tank may be close down upon the
top of the flow pipe, it will be better to
have it elevated 5 to 10 feet. In case
there are two main flow pipes, both
should be connected wth the tank.— L.
R. Taft.
I Inclose a drawing of a system which
I propose to use in heating my green-
house. I would thank you to examine it,
and if not entirely practicable ask you
to make such suggestions as will be nec-
essary. The nature of our soil here pre-
cludes digging a pit to any great depth,
on account of water, and I wish to set
the heater not more than two feet below
the level of the floor of the house. There
will be times when very little heat will
be necessary, and then I wish to shut off
with valves as indicated, and regulate
the heat in this way. — Maupin, Va.
—The plan shows the boiler sunk two
feet below the surfaceof the ground, with
a flow pipe from the top, connecting with
two 2-incb flows under the greenhouse
bench, and these are joined at the farther
end with two 2-inch returns. The flows
are just above the level of the Are door of
the heater, while the returns are slightly
below (he level of the door. The pipes
rise from the heater, and the expansion
tank Is connected to the returns. It can-
not be told from theplan whether the re-
turns are beneath the flow pipes or are
Hauling In and Renioving Soil in One of J. L. Dillon's Greenhonsesr
brought back on the other side of the
house. If the arrangement shown is to
be used, it would be advisable to carry
the flow pipe to the height of four or six
feet above the heater, and connect the
expansion tank at that point. Then ex-
tend the flow pipe and connect with the
pipes under the bench, which should run
down-hill. This will do away with the
need of air valves.
When the boiler is placed at or near the
surface, it is desirable to have the run as
short and as direct as possible, and a
better plan than theone proposed would
be to run a flow pipe about two feet
under the ridge, and at the farther end of
the house connect with the returns under
the benches. Without knowing the size
of the house and thetemperature desired,
the number of pipes that will be required
cannot be determined.— L. R. Taft.
BRIEFS FOR BUSY FLORISTS.
P01NSETTIA8. — These plants are becom-
ing greater favorites each year, as the
holiday season just passed has proven;
they have sold equally well whether
marketed as plants oriu a cut condition,
and we shall not make any mistake if we
increase the number grown tor next
Christmas. Plants that have been cut
down should be left in the pots, and these
laid on their sides, under a bench in a
warm greenhouse, forthenextfew weeks,
where they will dry down. Do not
shorten back the plants any more just
now; wait until they are partially dried
down, then cut them back and use the
canes forcuttings. Make these with two
eyes and give a good bottom heat, and
they will root easily.
.V.fPARAGi's I'l.ii.Mosus NAM'S .and A.
Sprengeri are indispensable nowadnys
for use among cut flowers or for draping
in decorations. Smila.x used to be the
principal feature for such purposes, but
aside from funeral work, smilax is being
relHgated to the rear by the better lasting
and more decorative asparagus. Seeds
of either oi the varieties of asparagus
named, if sown now, will make nice
plants, fit for the benches the coming
Summer, and from which sprays can be
cut next Winter. The seed should be
procured as fresh as possible, and it it is
soaked fur three or four days and then
sown, every seed will germinate. Sow
the seed in pans or flats; press the seed
moderately firm into the soil and cover
lightly; keep the pans in a house where
the temperature does not fall below 60
degrees at night.
BouvAnniA.— Where thisplant is grown
on benches for cut flowers, the cuttings
for next year's supply can be taken now.
Root cuttings are the best; these can
easily be obtained by locating a medium-
sized root close to the plant and taking
it out carefully. Cut the roof into short
pieces and lay these close together In a
pan filled with SHndy soil; then cover
with sand and press firmly. Place the
pan in the warmest part of the propa-
gating house, and keep the cuttings con-
tinually moist, .\fter they begin to irrow
and are large enough to handle, pot them
off singly into 2-inch pots.
Boston Fern.— Prepnrea bench of good
rich soil in the fern or palm house, and
set out a tew plants of this fern. These
willturnish a good stock of young plants
for the coming seawon, with the least
possible attention. If the old plants are
spreading, and seem to reijuire too much
room, put a stout stick beside each plant
and tie up the frond.i to it, taking care
not to tie them too tightly, just enongb
to liold thefronds in unuprlght position.

THE QUEEN OF WHITE CARNATIONS. A seedling of Mrs.
Fisher, now in its fifth year. During this time it has been the most
satisfactory white we have ever grown. Notwithstanding its large
size, it is a profuse bloomer. Its keeping qualities are unsurpassed. Its
length and strength of stem are little short of perfect. It possesses an
extraordinarily strong constitution, is very free and rapid in growth and pos-
sesses a delicious odor. It has the requirements of a first-class money-
making commercial carnation, and as such we are pleased to recommend
it to every grower. It is a good thing, which is worth your while to push
along. It is the white you have. been looking for all these years. Our
order book is now open. Stock is apt to be e.\hausted before close of
the season.
Price of the Above Two Varieties, $1.50 per Doz
p A RICH SCARLET CRIMSON. We have at last the pleasure to an-
^ /\ nounce to the trade that we have a dark carnation which possesses
yfy the important points in which all other crimsons up to date have
^•m been lacking, viz., long, strong stems, excellent keeping qualities and an
yJ. exquisite spicy odor. It also possesses an extra strong, vigorous constitu-
\l/ tion, and is a good producer. Can be had in good flower by November ist
ik'd to 15th. When well established will average three inches in diameter.
yK Commands the highest price on the market. Its color, which is similar to
\f/ General Jacq. rose, makes it very popular with flower buyers. Every
l^'lf grower will need it. Place your order at once. Crimson carnations are
selling better every year.

conscientiously say that it never equaled Genevieve Lord. We realize that this is a
strong statement, but a trial under favorable circumstances will convince the most
skept'.cal. In a word, it is the greatest commercial pink carnation ever offered. Rely on
Genevieve Lord for the bulk of your pink carnations; tdhers for variety's sake. Our stock

Trade Notes.
A calm after the holiday hustle is
giving the florists plenty of time to rest
and reflect. Business has been dull for the
last weeli. Though a number of green-
houses are off crop, there is nevertheless
a surplus of flowers on the market, which
will no doubt go to waste. The most re-
markable glut seems to prevail in greens,
and especially In smilax. A number of
houses, which were intended for Christ-
mas sales are left uncut, leaving the
grower in doubt whether it would be
best to throw the stock away and grow
a second crop or wait and risk it to
spoil. Southern greens have sold well,
and next to them Asparagus plumosus
has been in demand. A. Spreogeri has
not won so many friends as might have
been expected. Ouly two or three stores
can handle it regularly and in large
quantity. A pretty feature is the well-
berried branch of it. and especially if the
green fades into yellow, heightening the
contrast with the red berries. Adiantum
fronds do not sell at all any more, while
hardy ferns are all the more la demand.
Growing greens for the wholesale mar-
ket has alwavs been an uncertain enter-
pflse in Baltimore, and this season has
up to now been all but encouraging To
judge from the quantity of Asparagus
plumosus planted this year, we may look
for an abundant supply for the next sea-
son; but as most of the houses so planted
do not allow of more than 6 or 8 feet of
length to the string, we shall probably
Bee a iot of home-grown asparagus go to
waste, while long strings are imported
from out of town. The cause of the evil
seems to be that so many growers take
up greens as a convenient side issue, cul-
tivating more or less of it according to
the space which is not taken up for the
regular crops.
Carnations havethelastfew years been
taken up on a much larger scale than
roses, and the consequence is that the
carnation trade is rather overdone, while
many of the retailers have to rely on the
out-of-town markets for their supplies
of roses. Carnations are probably the
more profitable to grow, but we are sure
to see an overproduction in Baltimore
-before long. Nearly everywhere the car-
nation crop Is late this ye»r, owing to
the unfavorable Summer; still the mar-
ket has been nicely supplied so far. The
outlook for the next three or four months
is for quite twice or three times the pres-
ent cut and a severe reduction of prices.
Good roses have sold well but as for
all informal occasions carnations are gen-
erally chosen, the best quality of roses
only is in demand. The majority of rose
growers had a good crop before and dur-
ing the holiddjs, and as a whole the
plants look line and promise a good crop
again to begin in a week or 10 days. Of
the newer varieties, Golden Gate is a fa-
vorite with all. Liberty has not been
sufflclently tried, but the opinions upon
it, reluctantly given, are not oversau-
guine. The general complaint is elow
growth and not enough flowers. Maid
of Honor has been a thorough failure; 60
per cent, at least of all Its flowers come
malformed.
Among; Growers.
Wm. B. Sands has his place in ex-
cellent order. Young Bridesmaid are in
good shape, as are American Beauty and
Golden Gate. Perle have yielded a big
crop and are breaking freely. Carnations
are very late, but beginning to give a
fine crop now. America and G. H. Crane
are both doing well. There is not a ves-
tige of disease or insectpest on the whole
place.
Buxton Floral Company (Wm. Fraser)
grow roses exclusively. The stock is in
good shape, but mostly off crop. Perle
show remarkably flue growth. Mr.
Fraser reports a lively landscape trade
for the past Fall, with a busy Spring in
view.
Mr. Madson's place in Govanstown
looks as good as ever. Beauty, Brides-
maid and Bride are his standard crops.
A three-year-old solid bed of Bridesmaid
is at present a sea of buds and new
shoots.
Mr. Anderson is the boss Beauty
grower now; he had a fine crop in fur
Christmas and still cuts a good many
flowers.
Fred Bauer looks contentedly on his
fine carnation, mignonette and violet
crops. He started in business only a
couple of years ago and has been very
successful. There is not a corner in his
house unoccupied, and everything is in a
thriving condition.
Isaac H. Moss, as reported last Fall,
has increased his new place to 25,000
quare feet of glass of the most modern
onstructiou. His new houses are 30 x
200 feet, with steep roof and a Furman
steam plant. Carnations are his spe-
cialty; he grows Scott, Mack Richmond,
Flora Hill and White Cloud for quantity,
and a fine lot of fancy varieties. All the
plants look uniformly well, healthy and
clean. Of the new varieties Mr. Moss
prefers The Marquis. Though his plants
are small, they have produced the most
perfect flowers in color, fragrance, calyx
and stem. Ethel Crocker appears a fine
floriferous variety here. The Ked Bradt
looks a rich deep scarlet, perfect in form
and stem. Olympia is decidedly a finer,
more elegantflowerthanthemore robust
Mrs. George M. Bradt, but hardly more
productive, according to Mr. Moss' opin-
ion, and not likely to replace the latter.
A little lot of Estelle look promising; the
scarlet color is very brilliant and the
flower of good form. On the oldplaceMr.
Moss has another block of houses devoted
to caruations equally well grown and
two houses in roses planted with Ameri-
can Beauty, Bridesmaid, Bride, Golden
Gate and Liberty. They look excellent,
indeed. Mr. Moss is stocking up his 20-
acre nursery with finer evergreens and
other ornamentals to facilitate his ex-
tensive landscape business.
The nursery business has been very
satisfactory, with an ever-increasing de-
mand for the finer ornamental plants.
Privet is very scarce. Messrs. Corse &
Sous report a very good demand for the
finer shrubs and conifers. T. E.
Buffalo.
Trade Items.
Business conditions have dropped
down to the quiet and uneventful, with
a fair trade doing In every-day business
that recently included some good funeral
orders. Blooms of going kinds are fairly
plentiful, volets being now In good sup-
ply, at moderate price. Open, mild
weather, some days sunny, has nicely im-
proved quantity and quality of locally
grown caruations. At Scott's Cold
Spring store we noticed the arrival of a
Corfu-grown cut of these blooms, con-
spicuous among which Mrs. Thomas
W. Lawson stood first for finish, beauty
and strength of stem. The Marquis is
fair, too. Mr. Scott says that with him
the former variety proves the most pro-
lific. Victor looks well for a utility sized
bloom.
The mild weather Is a factor of merit
for building operations at the Pan-
American Exposition, where notable
progress continues apace dally. ViDl.

state of Trade.
Stock is accumulatiug in thecora-
missioD lioases, and no longer gets
cleared oH witli the vim experienced dur-
ing and directly after tbe lioildays. This
means a lowering o( prices on all grades,
witb the coraoion stoelj dangerously
near the fakirs' Bgure. Owingto funeral
work white stock is in demand. Colored
flowers are draggy. In roses, Auierican
Beauty are not quite in such heavy sup-
ply, but sufficient to bring down tbe price
of tbe best to 1$5 and $6 per dozen, other
grades being correspondingly low. Bride
and Bridesmaid, excepting of extra tine
grade, do not go above $8, with good
stock as low as $5 and f 6.
Tbe price on carnations has also been
lowered. These flowers are hard to clear
off. The quality is excellent now, and it
looks as though carnations will be
cheaper yet, as big crops come in. Few
now sell above $4 and $o for fancies; $2
to $3 for improved standard quality;
common, $1. Lilies are neither plentiful
nor good. Callas are fair and bring $2
to J2.50 per dozen for the best.
Some short red tulips (Proserpine)
are showing up, but are hard to dispose
of at any price. Violets are rather abun-
dant.
Club Doing:8.
Not a very large attendance greeted
the first meeting of the new year on
January i. Walter Kreitliug sent in bis
promiaed paper on some of the woes of
the retail florist. The three questions he
touched upon are certainly live ones, and
are often on the tonguesof retailers; but
the query is liow to remedy the undoubt-
ed evil.
John Reardon also read a paper on the
management of plants for private green-
houses.
Tbe next meeting, January 18, will be
a carnation night, and the club is mak-
ing its usual preparations for a big
show. A paper will be read by James
Hartshorne in the evening. The Chicago
Carnation Company tendered, through
IMr. Hartshorne, a free excursion to their
establishment at Joliet the same day,
which the club accepted. The train leav-
ing tbe Rock Island depotat 11:45 a. m.
will have a special coach attached lor the
use of tbe visitors. All florist visitors
are cordially invited. Exhibits of new
carnations and other meritorious flowers
are solicited.
Packages should be sent, prepaid, to
E. F. Winterson, secretary, 49 Wabash
Avenue, to reach here not later than
Friday morning, January 18. The exhi-
bition and meeting are expected to take
place in the Altas Block, in which are
located nine of the wholesale florists.
The club has now about 125 members
on its roll and a respectable surplus in
its treasury.
Around Town.
Oechslein Bros., West Madison .Street,
who make quite a specialty of growing
plants for retail trade florists, say their
sales for Christmas were very satisfac-
tory. Their opinion is that Begonia
(iioire de Lorraine should not be too
ripe or full.v flowered, and should be
given a couple of weeks' cooler tempera-
ture at least, to harden off the plants, in
order to give satisfaction. They find
callas in every way more profitable than
Harrisii lilies. They buy the largest calla
juibs and grow the plants in pots.
Nearly every bulb has already furnished
two good flowers.
Charles Frauenfelder reports an ex-
cellent Christmas trade.
E. R. Tauch has gone to Marquette,
Mich., to take charge of the greenhouses
of Mrs. L. H. Stafford.
E. G. Hill and Robert Craig were visit-
ing the principal growers here the past
week.
C. W. Scott, of Vaughan's seed store, is
out again and hopes shortly to start on
his customary trip.
Wietor Bros, are cutting a fine lot of
their pink sport of Armazindy carnation,
which they have named ".Sport." It is
a splendid flower.
John Pierson, who recently conducted
a retail store on Rush Street, is now on
the road for the George Wittboid Co.
J. C. Vaughan is preparing to re-
arrange his Randolph Street store, and
furnish a new set of seed boxes, bins,
counters, shelving and furniture through-
out, ready for a big Spring business.
Quite a number of the fraternity are
sick with the prevailing ills.
Annual Meeting of Horticultural Society.
The annual meeting of this society
was held January 8, E. G. Cihlein, vice-
president, in the chair. Four new mem-
bers were elected, including Mrs. A. M.
Schaeffer, a florist of BowmanviUe. The
old oflicers— W. H. Chad wick, president;
E. G. Uihiein, first vice-president; H. G.
Selfridge, second vice-president; E. Wien-
hoeber, third vice-president; three of the
executive committee, J. C. Vaughan, G.
L. Grant and O. P. Bassett— were re-
elected. The election of the secretary,
treasurer, and board of directors was
held over until next meeting. Edgar
Sanders was appointed a committee of
one to draw up suitable resolutions on
thedeathof Nathan M. Freer, who passed
away at Pasadena, Cal.. and of P. D.
Armour, who died this week, both of
whom were good patrons of the society
and greatly interested in all horticultu-
ral pursuits.
Welter & Thill is a new firm, this being
its first season in the growing of flowers,
carnations only. Nick Welter grew vege-
tables under glass, but took Mr. Thill in
partnership to run the flower part.
They have about aO.OOO carnations, and
certainly all are in the finest possible
shape. Their principal sorts this year
are Triumph, Flora Hill, Evanston,
(very fine), Mrs. Frances Joost, equally
so; Mrs. G. M. Bradt, and Lizzie Mc-
Gowan. These are in nine houses, each
150 X 26 feet. A month ago Mr. Welter
finished a new range of five houses 150 x
26 feet each, using the Garland gutter,
and iron posts. These houses are in
radishes and lettuce. Steam heat is used,
flows above, and returns below.
N. K. Welter also grows vegetables
and carnations. He has 16 benches of
carnations altogether. The crop is
shipped to Holton & Hunkle, Milwau-
kee, Wis. Ess.
Omaha.
Holiday Trade.
The Christmas trade here was very
much like that of other years in every re-
spect. Most noticeable was the passing
of the holly and mistletoe trade from the
florist's to the grocer's hands. In former
years each downtown florist sold from
two to five or seven caues of holly,
while this yearonecase generally sufliced.
The greatest demand was for roses and
carnations. The former, in most cases,
were as good as last year, and carna-
tions were much better. Although vio-
lets were cleaned out, they did not go
with a swing as did roses and carna-
tions; buyers fought shy of violets,
probably because of the price. The de-
mand for blooming plants was sharp. It
was noticeable how few higher-priced
plants sold compared with other years.
The stock of flowering plants was very
limited, embracing azaleas, primroses, a
few cyclamen and Paper White narcissus
in pots. These latter could not be called
a howling success, as they very seldom
are.
Lewis Henderson reports his business
as having been about tbe same as last
year, with an increased stock and a trifle
lower prices. Miss Cassie Arnold, for J.
W. and E. E. Arnold, had a splendid busi-
ness, with an increased demand for flow-
ering plants and palms. S. B. Stewart
says he had a most excellent trade, a
slight increase over last year, with a
greater call forplants. Mr. Stewart pre-
dicted the decline of violets as Christmas
flowers unless they become cheaper. A.
Donaghue, Jr., reports his trade as about
the same as last .vear. The quality of his
roses and carnations was very flne. He
flnds the call for Roman hyacinths and
narcissus falling oft each year.
Hess & Swoboda had very pretty win-
dows, with azaleas and poinsettias as
the background. Rudolph J. Mohr, of
Shaw's Garden, St. Louis, has been visit-
ing Omaha for the past two weeks. He
says he likes our cold weather.

The Market.
There is now no great rush of busi-
ness, though a steadiness to it is felt
which keei)8 all going. .Stocli, though
not very plentiful, seems to be coming in
faster than it sells; even flrstclaps flowers
are moving very slowly. American
Beauty of very good quality go fairly well
at figures about as reported last week.
Very good Bride and Bridesmaid are
coming in; the latter meet with some lit-
tle demand, while the former move more
slowly, being desired almost exclusively
forfuneraipurposes, for which the smaller
grades are generally used. .Special grade
now make $16 per 100; extras, $12 50
andSl-t; and .No. Is, $8 andf 10perlOO_
Liberty continue scarce; the few good
ones received sell quickly at $20 to $25
per 100, but the majority are of sizes
which bring from $4 to $8 per 100, a
few medium making $12.50 and $16.
Mrs. Pierpont Morgan are coming in
short-stemmed, meeting with quite a lit-
the demand, at from $?, to $10 per 100.
A few Bon Silene are still on the market
and clean up well at $3 and $4 per 100.
Carnations have become more plenti-
ful, consequently prices have been cut
this week. First stock of ordinary varie-
ties now averages $2 per 100, specials
of these kinds making $2.50. The very
fancy varieties, such as The Marquis,
Elhel Crocker, G. H.Crane, etc., make $3
to $4 for good stock, and a few extras
of these and Mrs. George M. Bradt of
special grade have been held at $5.
The bulbous stock supply is getting
heavier every day. Tulipsof two or three
kinds and Campernelle narcissus have
been added to the list this week. The for-
mer, though short-stemmed, do fairly well
at $2 to $2.50 per 100, while Campernelles
make $2 per 100. Komans and Paper
White narcissus are druggy. Harrisli
lilies are very plentiful. Callas, in good
supply, make $8 and $10 per 100.
Violets have now become much more
abundant, and prices have fallen. Good
violets I ow make 75c. per 100 for double
and 50c. to 6 )c. for single. Fancies of the
former gu u/ $land of the latter to 75c.
Lilv of thevallev continues very plentiful
at $2 to $4 per 100.
Welch Bros, are now handling regular
shipments of Bon Silene rose, whicli
seems to maintain its old-time populari-
ty. The Queen of Edgely at this place is
making a good impression on all who
see it.

to New York on a business trip Saturday.
William Nicholson left Sunday for New
York, whence he and Eugene Dailledouze
will go to visit some of the carnation
groovers at Cincinnati, Richmond and

Those who saw Norris Comley leave
the flower market In such a hurry a week
ago Tuesday morning will not be sur-
prised to learn that he was presented
with a new-century baby on the morning
of January 1.
On Saturday last week an ice wagon
backing down Chapman Place broke a
plate glass window in the store of J. M.
Cohen, also doing slight damage to the
stock near the window.

At the business meeting of the society,

inducted. On report of the Committee
on Constitution and By-laws, which re-
port embodies quitea few radical changes
from the old constitution, there was
quite a debate. The question of its
acceptance will he voted on in October.

Christmas Trade.
As far as reports have been received,
Christmas trade was about 25 per cent,
better than last year's, and the greater
partof thisincrease wasin cash business,
which is decidedly encouraging. The
supply of r-oses was ample and the retail
prices ranged from I^L.^iO to $.'!per dozen.
American ISeauty were rather scarce and
sold at from $!'> to $12 per dozen.
While the supply of carnations whs
large enough, I do not think the i|nalify
was quite equal to the standi! nl of pre-
vious years. They brought from 75c.
to $1 per dozen.
Paper Whitenarclssusand Roman hya-
cinths were plentiful and sold at 50c. and
75c. per dozen.
Violets were the scarcest article In the
market, and $:i per 100 was easily real-
ized for those received. Some sweet peas
brought fancy prices.
There were extra good polnsettias to
be had, and they sold at $3 to $4 per
dozen.
There was an increased sale of holly,
the quality of which was excellent.
Ground pine garlanding did not move as
well as in previous years. Wild smliax
and other Southern greens sold readily.
Mistletoe was scarce, of rather poor
qualit.v, and no trouble was experienced
In getting rid of the good stock at satis-
factory prices.
Wood & Stubbs, the local seedsmen, re-
port the sale of holly as decidedly satis-
factory. F. Walker & Co., who also whole-
saled greens, report a clean sale of holly,
but that there was somewhat of a drag
to ground pine, owing, no doubt, to high
prices. Mrs. C. B. Thompson was well
satisfied with her holiday trade. Wm.
Walker did the largest business yet. Mrs.
C. W. Reiniers had an excellent stock ol
polnsettias and had no trouble In dis-
posing of same. Nanz & Neuuer had
extra fine stevia and roses, also some
nice plants of Camellia japonica, which
attracted much attention. Jacob Schulz
made a fine display of Christmas plants;
especially fetching were his pans of helio-
trope, azaleas, rlmdodendrons and bego-
nias. He also had several orchitis In
bloom, which attracted much notice. C.
H. Kunzman brought in some extra fine
Triumph carnations. Wm. L. Korb, an
amateur, was theonly one who succeeded
in having sweet peas for the holidays.
George Thompson's Sons had the mis-
fortune to have a Are attack their place
January 1, but as .vet I have not ascer-
tained the extent ol their losses. J. S.

The market.
At the advent of a new century the
florist lias much to be thankful for. Busi-
ness in all branches is flourishing; more
stock is being grown and better prices
are realized for same than were ever
known before. New carnations are sell-
ing for fabulous values, and all strictly
first-class stock never goes begging.
The Christmas and New Year's busi-
ness was far in advance of that of any
other year. The grower seems to have
awakened from his long sleep and gone
to work with a determination to make
some money during thisera of prosperity.
While adding to his glass, he is giving
more attention to growing better stock,
for experience has taught him that the
time has passed when any old thing will
sell, and that he must grow superior
flowers it he expects to keep up with the
procession.
(lur i-etall stores are doing a nice busi-
ness, and of course when they are busy
the wholesaler Is bound to have his share
of trade.
The !8I5,000 Carnation.
The event of the aOth century here
was the sale, on New Year's Day, of the
scarlet carnation Adonis to Hill and Craig
for a sum exceeding $5,000. This new
variety started with Mr. Witterstaetter,
in 1892, in a cross of Buttercup and W.
F. Dreer, a deep carmine pink. This
cross produced No. 50a, a scarlet named
H. L. Sunderbruch, which never was dis-
seminated. This was in 1895. Then a
cross was made with the Stuart and
No. 50a, producing No. 334a, which was
named President Sunderbruch, a scarlet
similar in form, stem and colorto Adonis.
President Sunderbruch also was never
disseminated, for the reason that it was
a Spring bloomer. It was used as the
final pollen parent in 1897 with a seed-
ling No. 308c, scarlet, originated from
AdelaideKreskenandThe Stuart in 1896,
with very vigorous early and free-bloom-
ing qualities, but being off color was not
disseminated. From this last cross was
produced No. 525a, or Adonis, which
bloomed the first time in August, 1898.
Such is the history of this wonderful new
$5,000 carnation. The variety will be
exhibited at the American Carnation So-
ciety's meeting at Baltimore on February
21 next.
At this writing Eugene Daiiiedouze and
Wm. Nicholson are at Mr. Witterstaetter's
looking over the many new seedlings
that are to be seen at this place.

MOISTURE GAUGE
THIS Moisture Gauge tells
■■■ you the difference be-
tween dryness and dam neas
Inyourgreenhouses. Wehave
been teetlngtwoof these mois-
ture gauges several months
and find they are more Indla-
pens*hle than the thermome-
ter If you keep this moisture
eauge at 70 degrees you will
have □elth'-r mildew nor red
solder In your rose houses If
you keep It at 8i) degrees you
will not have rust nor red spi-
der In your carnation houses.
If vou keep it at 85 degrees
you will never hav fungus In
your rootPd cutting houses If
you keep it at 75 degrees you
wUl not have decayed leaves
In your geranium houaes; and
If you have a moisture ganee
In every house lOO fee-^^ long
and keep It at above figures
you will make at least $100
more per year from each
house. Who wants to buy
mildewed roses or rusty car-
nations?
To operate this moisture
gauge It Is essential to wet the
walks In order to gettheprop-
er dampness. If your houses
are too damp In wlnter.ftre up a llttle.and In the summer time open your ventilators. This has been obtained only
by years of experience Now you can tell your greenhouse hands to keep It at 70 or 8u degree", as you want It,
juBt the same as you tell your flreman to keep the temperature In such a house at 6^ dpgf'ees. We never had any i
intention to sell moisture gauges, bur. they are dolne us so much good wi h'lvft obtained some we can sell at J2 50
each, but we think you will want more. These moisture gauges are made In Germany and France. The French
macnlnes come at $10 00 each; they are quite an ornament and no cheap truck. We will give one of the $2 50 1
machines free for a $20 00 order for plants, or rooted cuttings, or unrooted cuttings, from ou 1901 catalogue, or I
irom our ads In the trade papers; or we will send you one for 13.50, and after 10 days' trial. If , ou do not like It J
you may return It and get your money back. Address

HOME GROUNDS COMPETITION.
Class B.
Paper and Plan by J. A. Flemcr, Niirinif-
fiekl, N. J.
Thejilanof the F.& F. Nurseries' Home
Grounds, herewith shown, is plotted on
a scale ot one-fortieth ol' .-in inch to the
toot.
The roads and paths ai-e made of
crushed blue stone, and the buildings are
all framestructures. Three photographs,
which accompany the plan, show the
generarappearance of these home grounds
as seen from two diHerent points or sta-
tions. Figs. 1 and 2 are adjacent views,
and they foi-m a part ot the pano-
rama as seen from the upper-story win-
ilow in the northeastern corner of the
office. Fig. 3 shows .the office, to-
gether with the northeastern entrance to
the home grounds. This view was
taken some time ago from a station at
the eastern side of this road entrance,
and a little to the north of the large elm
shown on the plat and on the left of the
picture. The traces of these three pic-
tures are indicated on the plan.
The three large trees on Morris Avenue
are American elms, while the two smaller
trees are sugar maples. A fourth large
American elm is southeast from the
southeastern corner of the residence, just
east of cistern and pump.
The two large trees on the east side
of the west entrance roadway, near
residence, are ash trees. Close to the
ofHee (shown in Fig. 3) and near the
Arbor vita> hedge is a large red maple.
Another large red maple is in the Califor-
nia privet hedge which forms the east
boundary of the home grounds, just
north of specimea bed. Morris Avenue
being from two to four feet lower than
these home grounds, the privet hedge
along that road is only about 18 inches
high, and serves merely to delimit the line
between highway and the grounds.
A hedge of Norway spruce runs from
the south side ot the oftlce toward the
packing sheds and cellar. This hedee
forms the east boundary of the home
garden. The westerly line of home
grounds, garden and orchard is fixed by
a hedge of Arbor vit.v. This hedge sepa-
rates the home grounds from that part
ot the nursery grounds which borders on
Morris Avenue.
The main lawn has two specimen beds
of evergreens and .lapan maples, in elon-
gated form. One bed is near the road
(Morris Avenue) and is shown in Fig. 2;
the other is between the residence and
office, shown in Fig. 3. These beds are
surrounded with low hedges of berberry.
The groupings on this main lawn east
of residence and north of office are as
follows:
In the southern rounded part a bed of
.lapan maples, and close by Pinus
uiughus, linden (American and English),
American elm, magnolia, maple (silver
and Norway), white birch, lilac, Ameri-
can holly, hemlock (weeping), larch, Nor-
way spruce, etc. To the north of the
evergreen bed, near the office, are three
Japan snowballs, a weeping beech and
weeping dogwood. .Justeast of the resi-
dence are six evergreens: dwarf pine,
dwarf hemlock, spruce, flr and retino-
sporas. North ot these is a Magnolia
conspicua and three atropurpureum
Japan maples. In the northwest part ot
this lawn, southeast of the west entrance
to grounds, are six evergreens: Mughus
pine, Colorado blue spruce, white pine,
Nordmann's fir, umbrella pine and hem-
lock. To the north of residence, between
two vases and hedge, tamarix, weeping
dogwood, fir and weeping mountain ash.
Between the east vase and the northeast
corner ot residence, Mughus pine and
.Magnolia Soulangeana. The three trees
shown on the east side of the east road
entrance, just north of specimen bed, are
dogwoods (red flowering, common and
weeping). The two evergreen trees
shown in the northeast corner of main
lawn are Abies polita and A. invert
Kast of the office is a Catalpa Bungeia,
n dwarf catalpa and a mountain ash.
They are followed to the southward bv
a weeping mulberry a Magnolia Soulan
geana and a weeping mountain ash.
A specimen bed of dwarf evergreens is
southwest from the southwest corner ot
stables: however, only the north end
of this bed is visible on the plan. 'Jhe
specimen bed (still incomplete) east of
the office close to California privet hedge
contains retinosporas, junipers, yews,
pines, hemlocks, spruces, rhododendrons'
kalmia,box,etc. The sugar maple, weep-
ing beech, etc., were there before this
bed was laid out and planted. South of
this bed is a grouping ot ten evergreen
trees: Hemlock, Scotch pine, pyramidal
Arbor vit.e, Siberian Arbor vine, dwarf
pine, English silver flr, Nordmann's fir and
white pine.
South of the residence are plantations
of eulalia grasses and shrubs, partly
screening the woodhouse and outhouses
shown on plan. On eastside of the porch
of the office are clematis, and English ivy
are on the northeast corner of the office
building.
The plantations on the north and west
sides of the carriage house are composed
of weigelas, deutzias, syriugas, eulalias,
etc. Tho.se to the north and west ot the
bam and stables are ealycanthus, spi-
i.-i"as, euonymus. etc.
The four symmetrical plantings at the
entrances to the home grounds are in-
closed by rubble stone walls toward
Morris Avenue and the entrance roads,
and by barberry hedges toward the
lawns. The principal plants in these
beds are yuccas, eulalia grasses, euonv-
mue, mahonias, etc.
The corner beds at either side ot the
porch on north side ot the residence
contain azaleas: they are hedged with
barberry. The beds between the bay
windows of the residence are hedged
with barberry .and contain bulbous
plants (tulips, hyacinths), geraniums,
etc. The beds on north side of the
office at either side ot the porch contain
rhododendrons. A hedge of barberry
fringes the east side of the path leading
from the basement of the office toward
the stables.
Commeuls by Mr. Warren H. Manning-.
One of the plans inCla.ssB— that of the
F. & F. Nurseries, Springfield, N. J., sur-
veyed and plotted by J. A. Flemer— is a
first-class example of painstaking and '
.skillful draughting.
The general design ot the grounds is
sensible, simple and good. The office and
working buildings of the nursery are
grouped together conveniently with am-
ple yard room about them, and a direct
and independent approach which does
not break into the lawn area unnecessar-
ily. The house and its outbuildings are
located far enough away from the work-
ing structures and from the tilled ground
to give all necessary seclusion and ample
yard room at the back. The house en-
trance road gives convenient access,
takes a minimum amount of space in the
lawn and is connected conveniently with
the working grounds. I can only take
exceptions to the formal beds in the
lawn. The symmetrical beds at the en-
trance are justified by the formality of
the lines at these points and along the
highway, but in general the plan is an
informal one, and it would be more con-
sistent to have all plantations, especiall.y
at the back and sides of the lawn,
arranged in an informal manner, as the
existing individual lawn, trees and
shrubs in the lawn, and the bed east ot
the road, are now disposed. It hardlv
seems desirable to introduce stones iin
the beds as they have been introduced,
for they are not in themselves attractive,
and are ot no assistance in promoting
the growth of the plants about them.
Apparently the common error has been
made of locating large growing ever-
greens so near the edge of drives as to
ultimately interfere with the latter and
necessitate the cutting of lower branches.

The Alexander .Seed Co., of Augusta,
Ga., have received nn orderfrom the Cape
Town government for 1,500 bushels of
rust proof oats. Richmond County oats
will be sent.
A local newspaper savs that it costs

clusive ot the labor of mailing.
The House Committee on Agriculture,
January 8, gave a hearing to the whole-
sale seedsmen, who argued against the
free distribution of seed by the Govern-
ment. They contended that the Govern-
ment was interfering with private busi-
ness.
In an action for damages by a pur-
chaser of seed guaranteed to be good, but
which proves to be entirely worthless,
the New Orleans Democrat says the Su-
preme Court of North Carolina, in the
case of Reiger vs. Worth Company (37 S.
E. Rep., 217), liolds that the measure of
damages is the amount paid for the seed,
the amount expended in the preparation
of the soil for the crop, and also reasona
ble rent for the land.
The opinions of those of our seedsmen
who are opposed to the Government's
paternalism as Illustrated by the indis-
criminate free distribution of common
seeds have proved very interesting read-
ing. None the less so would the views
held by those seedsmen — the contractor
and those, fortunately but few, who
made a bid for the job — the grounds upon
which they consider they are benefitiug
the trade or the country generally by
assisting the Governmentlucarrying out
a practice of which their fellow trades-
men so loudly complain and as loudly
condemn. May we hope to be favored
with the views ot the gentlemen who
favor tlie free seed farce?
Illinois is to have a seed-corn insjiector
who will visit ali the reliable seed-corn
growers of the .State and make report of
the work done. This work will be under
the supervition of the Illinois Seed-Corn
Growers' .\sBociation and will be most
tliorough and effectual in every respect.
The inspector will among other' things
decide for each grower how mucli tirst-
class, reliable seed corn he hasin hiscribs
and give liim suggestions as to its mar-
ket condition and seed value. Ata recent
meeting in Champaiga of the Illinois
Seed-Corn Growers' Association, the ap-
pointment of an inspector was consid-
ered, and A. D. Shamel. instructor In
farm crops at the university, was chosen
for the work.

Bed Clover Seed.— In a circular issued
by ttie.Division of Botany of tlie Depart
ment of Agriculture, the foliowlng infor
matlon is furnislied: " Eeporta coming
from various sections of tlie Dnited States
sliow that a large amount of adulterated
seed is offered, and .that where buyers
are not sufficiently' careful or well In-
formed much is actually sold. The clover
seed crop for 1900 has not been up to the
average in. either quantity or quality,
especially in the States that furnish the
higher grades. This has resulted in a
further increasein price, and to-day really
first-class .red clover seed commands a
higher price than it has for many years.
" European dealers are offering seed in
America, and, although much of this is
doubtless American seed that was ex-
ported during times of low prices, it is
possible that some seed of the European
variety may find its way to America.
Such seed has been offered to American
importers this year, and under certain
conditions of the market some may come
to the Dnited States. The use of Euro-
pean clover seed would undoubtedly
prove disappointing to the American
farmer, since the plant seems to be ill
adapted to the climate prevailing in the
clover growing sections of the United
States. The variety has not been exten-
sively tried in America, owing to the
high price the seed usually commands at
home, but so far as trials have been made
it is clearly unfit for planting in the lati-
tude of Washington, D. C. Until further
tests, at present planned by the Depart-
ment, shall have been made, it will at
least be unwise for American consumers
to use European seed."
Ettropean Notes.
The opening days of the new year find
us still contending with difficulties that
are most disheartening. The whole of
western and southern Europe Is stlii
n]oying (?) a warm bath of the most
epressing and enervating description.
A few rough towels in the shape of cold
drying winds would be most acceptable.
Reports from central Germany to hand
this morning state that Winter has set
in with unusual severity, accompanied
with heavy falls of snow round Hanover
and Cassel and through Westphalia and
Thuringia.
A general survey of the condition of
plants at the beginning of the new year
is very far from being encouraging.
Everything standing in the open ground
is full of sap and In a forced condition.
As this includes cabbages, borecoles, tur-
nips, rutabagas, parsley, parsnips, and
the plants of beets, carrots and mangels
that were too small to be stored, the
risiis from such a visitation' are very
great. The forced and unhealthy condi-
tion of these plants is also causing us
considerable losses, particularly among
the early turnips, for while these roots
naturally contain about 90 per cent, of
water, they object to being compelled to
take more during the Winter season.
Early conical cabbages, being more
matured, are looking fairly well at pres-
ent, but the flat-topped varieties are in
many cases looking very sickly, while
some of the best varieties, such as All-
head and Early Summer, have already
gone under.
Market and bird seeds remain station-
ary with little business doing. In view
of an anticipated limited demand, pole
beans have declined In value, but dwarf
varieties remain firm.
W. H. Dunnett, one of the partners in
the firm of Garter, Dunnett & Beale, died
on December 29, aged 74. He was well
known in the trade, and those of your
readers who have had the pleasure of en-
joying the hospitality dispensed by him
at Dedham will regret to learn of his
decease. Mr. Dunnett had ceased to take
any active part In the London business
tor many years and had always identi-
fied bimsell more especially with the
growing department.
The cold wave has Just arrived In the

can hardly be attempted at Beverly,
notably Magnolia grandlflora, Euonv-

Rose Gloirede Dijon. — All old world
gardeners know the Gloire de Dijon rose,
and those of England, especially, as It is
there the most popular climbing tea rose
known. Nearly every cottage has its
Dijon rose, and gloriously it bedecks the
buildings, often reaching the second-story
windows, and giving a succession of its
lovely flesh-colored, sweet-scented blos-
soms from June to Christmas. I have
seen it used there in connection with the
Clematis montena. a white flowered, vig-
orous growing kind, which it is a sur-
prise not to And offered by our own
nurserymen. Besides its use about dwell-
ings, the Dijon rose Is also used to form
boundaries to cemetery lots. One is
planted on each of the four sides of the
lot, and trained espalier shape. I hap-
pened once on some of these so trained,
when just in their flush of first bloom, in
June, and the lovely sight 1 think I shall
never forget.
This Is a rather lengthy preface to what
I wish to call attention to, which Is, that
in the Eastern part of Pennslyvania this
rose Is quite hardy. Further than this,
there is no other tea climbing rose which
lives out. About my own porch I have
had this rose unprotected for six years
or more, and It is to-day as thrifty as
ever, and flowers from June to freezing
weather. Many of my friends have
planted this rose on my recommendation,
and all findit hardy. Probably it would
not stand out muchfurthernorth of this,
hut there are numerous readers of The
Florists' Exchange in these parts, as
well as further South, who would find in
this rose a hardy and desirable sort.
Scotch Heather and Other Heaths.
— I was reminded of Mr. Frederick W.
Kelsey's notes on the Scotch heath in a
recent issue of The Florists' Exchange
by coming upon quite a number of these
plants recently in pots In a florist's
greenhouse. In answer to my inquiry,
he said he really had no particular object
in growing them in that way. He had a
few plants which had been growing out
of doors for years, and one day had cut
off a batch of cuttings, nearly all of
which had rooted. Hehad potted them,
and flnding they seemed to enjoy the
greenhouse atmosphere, had kept them
growing by placing them in larger pots
from time to time. Certainly the plants
were very nice, and apparently had en-
joyed their treatment. As there is no
doubt of the hardiness of this plant, it
suggests its use to a much greater extent
than has yet been attempted here. Those
who have seen it in Europe know how it
clothes the barren places there, keeping
close to the ground and forming little
bushes of a few feet In height in time.
When visiting England some eight years
ago, I saw it clothing such places in the
commons near Southampton, also on
the downs across the Solent, in the Isle of
Wight. In these places It was doing
what It would be difficult to find any
other plant to do as well in the way of
providing cover for game. It Is a very
hardy plant In the sense of holding on
where once It gets a foothold, and there
Is lots of room for such a plant here.
I have spoken before of two ericas, E.
vagans and E.stricta, which are perfectly
hardy with us, and no doubt there are
many others, natives of southern Europe,
which would be as hardy here as those
named are. It Is possible for our land-
scape gardeners to use many heaths In
the large operations so many of them
are now engaged in. What Is needed is
further experiments in the way of testing
for hardiness, using some of the sorts
with comparatively large and beautiful
flowers, of which thereare a great many.
Heaths will not thrive In heavy soil, as
all gardeners know, but must have
sandy, gravelly, or that of a peaty
nature. Joseph Meehan.

An Institate Meeting.
The chiel event of the week was the
Institute meeting in connection with the
Department of Agriculture of Pennsylva-
nia; the meeting was a great succesa.
The first paper of the afternoon session
was one by Edwin Lonsdale on " Plants
for the Home." He gave a splendid lec-
ture, laying great stress on the fact that
all retail florists should take plants to
theirown homesforexperlment, and thus
be better able to advise customers as to
the method of treatment. He exhibited
a croton that had been in bis own house
two years, and a Begonia Gioire de Lor-
raine that had been there since Christ-
mas, with flowers and leaves all intact.
Professor L.A.Clinton, of Cornell, made
addresses on nature study and potato
crops. This young man was a good
talker and made a favorable impression.
The question box was well patronized
and brought out some interesting discus-
sions. The meeting was well attended.
Horticnitaral Society.
The Pennsylvania Horticultural
Society held a short meeting on Tuesday
night for routine business only, as the
Institute meeting was then in progress.
Prizes were awarded as follows: For
cyclamen, offered by Henry A. Dreer, to
George Robertson, gardener to Mr. C. U.
Newbold, Jenkintown; for mushrooms,
offered by Henry F. Michell, to Charles
Utfler, gardener to Mr. George H.McFad-
den, Roeemont; for begonias to Francis
Canning, gardener to Mr. Samuel T.
Bodine. Villa Nova, Pa.
Resolutions were passed at this meet-
ing establishing astanding committee to
examine new or choice plants, flowers,
fruits and vetgetables; all exhibits to be
staged by 3 p. m. on the date of the regu-
lar meeting each month, so that the
judges can inspect them by daylight
and make better repofts. This action by
the society will fill a long-felt want, and
should give much satisfaction to intro-
ducers of novelties.

OBITUARY.
Dean Davis.
Dean Davis, florist, Fall River, Mass.,
died at his home Saturda.y, January 5, in
his sixtieth year. He had been a life-long
resident there, and enjoyed the esteem of
a wide circle of friends tor his sterling in-
tegrity.
Messrs. B. M. Wichers & Co. send us a
photograph of their "new climbingchrys-
anthemum." They say the plant is per-
fectly hardy and blooms from October
to January. It originated with the firm
about four years ago, and will be placed
on the market next Fall. We regret the
picture is not sufficiently clear for repro-
dactlon, to show the habit to advantage.
Lawrence, Mass.— Wm. F. Regan has
opened a flower store here at 504 Essex
Street.
Dallas, Tex.— Otto Fehrlln, formerly
of Galveston, Tex., a sufferer by the late
flood, has gone South again, and expects

team, consisting of Asmus, Baliuff, Deg-
nan, Hansen and Winterson, and got
badly left, as the following totals show :
12 3
Florists 738 764 709
Kreitlings 561 626 548
A large number of spectators was pres-
ent to witness the fun, including many
ladies.
During the stop-over of the Chicago-
ans at Richmond, Ind., a game was
gotten np for their benefit. The score is
given below, which shows no all star
bowlers. But then the alley was poor
and the balls worse. An attempt was
made to bribe the scribe to add a figure
1 to each score, but it could not be done.
At Kokomo, there being an hour or
two to spare before train time, three
frames were rolled, in which W. W. Coles
won out.

Pan-American Progress.
Winter has arrested almost all work
in the Horticultural Department. All
shrubs, roses, herbaceous plants and
bulbs have been amply protected. The
lily ponds were allowed to form 4 or 5
inches of ice. which they quickly did dur-
ing the cold spell in December. They
were then covered with 6 inches of leaves,
and on that were spread hemlock boughs.
The protection given to everything in
the Horticultural Department, as well as
that of the Department of Works, in-
sures the best results in the Spring. The
Horticulture Building is complete, and
the decoration on the interior will soon
begin. This is the most handsome of
the man.v magnificent buildings on the
grounds. The conservatories are also
complete; steam heating is being in-
stalled,and by the early part of Februar.v
the conservatories will be ready for oc-
cupancy.
Two ver.y large heated sheds have been
erected with ample light and heat for the
wintering of many large plants destined
for the adornment of the grounds. In
the greenhouses a great amount of prop-
agating is going on, and hundreds of
thousands of bedding plants will be
needed, for in no place where flowers or
color can enhance the beauty of the
ground will the.v be omitted.
Horticulture is perhaps considered a
small part of this wonderful exposition,
at least, perhaps, by those who take a
special interest in electricity, ethnology,
manufactures, etc., yet to all visitors the
beauty and adornment of the grounds
must appeal greatly and add to their en-
joyment of the ^vhole.
The Electric Tower has reached its full
height and the wood work and staff cov-
ering are nearl.T completed. The tower
stands now .37.5 feet high, and there is
still a noble statue to crown its summit.
I would not pretend to tell you how
much electricity will gleam from this
great structure, but I do know that
there are 300,000 incandescent electric
lights on the buildings and grounds, ex-
clusive of the Electric Tower.
The buildings are all roofed in and the
interiors are fast nearing completion.
The Machinery Building, the first large
one erected, is ready to receive exhibits.
The electric current from Niagara Falls
was turned on a tevf nights ago, and
those who had the good fortune to see
this magnificent building illuminated
could form some idea of what the whole
scene will be when completed.
The Midway features are quite distinct
from horticulture, yet all members of the
profession, from the professor down, like
to be amused, and in good, clean, novel
and striking features, this Midway will
eclipse all that has ever gone before. The
picturesque and costl.v structures erected
by concessionaires constitute a city in
themselves. While mud has been more
of a hindrance to work than frost, the
Winter on the whole has so far been
most favorable. Work on the buildings
has gone right along, and ground work
and road making have continued with
little interruption. William .Scott.
Providence, R. I.
Tradri Notes.
There has been a lot of business for
all since the first of the new year. In-
auguration, parties, balls, etc., consti-
tute the bulk of work done: several
funerals of prominent people have also
called for extensive work.
Prices of Howers rule high and there
seems to be plenty of stock, except vio-
lets and good American Beauty roses.
The growers of the former are onl.v gath-
ering hundreds where they formerly
picked thousands. Carnations bring
from $1.50 to $3 per 100; roses *8 to
S;10; daffodils and tulips have made their
appearance in the market, selling at $3
per 100. Harrlsll lilies find a ready sale
at J15 per 100. The R. I. Greenhouses
are bringing in the best blooms. They
have an exceptionally fine lot this year.
Roman hyacinths and Paper White
narcissus are somewhat of a glut.
American Beauty roses find a good
sale, selling at retail at $18 per dozen for
best quality.
The News.
Providence was visited by a rain and
sleet storm last week, doing considerable
damage. Among the unfortunates were
J. B. Canning, a large limb of a tree fall-
ing on his greenhouses and breaking a
quantity of glass.
The greenhouse of Mrs. M. O'Connor,
on Beacon Avenue, was sold a few days
ago to F. A. Fairbrother.
The annual meeting and supper of the
Florists and Gardeners' Club was held
Thursday, January 10. William Hill, on
behalf of the members of the club, pre-
sented to the retiring president, Mr.
James Hockey, a gravel suitably in-
scribed, in recognition of his efliclent
services.
William E. Chappell acted as toast-
master and was well qualified for the
position. There was a good attendance,
and the first meeting of the new century
was pronounced a success by all.
A number of local florists and S. J.
Renter, of Westerly, visited N. D. Pierce's
place one day last week to inspect his
seedling carnation Beau Ideal. All pro-
nounced it a wonder and worthy of rec-
ognition. M. A.
Ancborag-e, Ky.
The infant son of George Razner, florist,
died January .3, from the result of In-
juries received through his dress having
caught fire from a stove. Mr. Razner is
a member of the Anchorage Rose Co.,
and has the sympathy of the craft in his
sad bereavement.

more bloom than Ethel Crocker and eight other vari-
eties under the same conditions. On some 3000 plants
not a single split calyx, where Crocfeer and some others
have split badly. Flowers as large as Scott, very fra-
grant; a fine shade of light rose-pink. After five years'

THE QUEEN OF WHITE CAR-
NATIONS. A seedling of Mrs.
Fisher, now in its fifth year.
During this time it has been the most
satisfactory white we have ever grown.
Notwithstanding its large size, it is a
profuse bloomer. Its keeping qualities
are unsurpassed. Its length and strength
of stem are little short of perfect. It
possesses an extraordinarily strong con-
stitution, is very free and rapid in growth
and possesses a delicious odor. It has
the requirements of a first-class money-
making commercial carnation, and as
such we are pleased to recommend it to
every grower. It is a good thing, which
is worth your while to push along. It is
the white you have been looking for all
these years. Our order book is now
open. Stock is apt to be exhausted
before close of the season.
EGYPT.
A RICH SCARLET CRIMSON. We
have at last the pleasure to an-
nounce to the trade that we have
a dark carnation which possesses the
important points in which all other crim-
sons up to date have been lacking, viz.,
long, strong stems, excellent keeping
qualities and an exquisite spicy odof. It
also possesses an extra strong, vigorous
constitution, and is a good producer.
Can be had in good flower by November
ist to 15th. When well established
will average three inches in diameter.
Commands the highest price on the
market. Its color, which is similar to
General Jacq. rose, makes it very
popular with flower buyers. Every
grower will need it. Place your order
at once. Crimson carnations are selling
better every year.
Price of the above two varieties, $i.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100 ; $75.00 per iOOO.
DELIVERY FEBRUARY 15th.
GENEVIEVE LORD.
IN the short space of one season Genevieve Lord has won her way to the front in
a manner most pleasing. It has demonstrated our every claim for it, and
many growers say more. We grew Wm. Scott in the heyday of its prime,
and can conscientiously say that it never equaled Genevieve Lord. We realize
that this is a strong statement, but a trial under favorable circumstances will
convince the most skeptical. In a word, it is the greatest commercial pink carnation
ever offered. Rely on Genevieve Lord for the bulk of your pink carnations; others
for variety's sake. Our stock is gilt-edged and ready now. If you haven't room
now, make sure of your stock and order at once, to be shipped any time you say.
Price, $6.00 per 100; $50.00 per 1000.

Trials and Tribulations of EIetailerb 62
The Vick Magazine, issued by the Vick
Publishing Company, Rochester, hsis been
purchased by Frank C. Owen and Charles
E. Gardner, of Dansville, and D. D. Cotrell,
of Cohocton. The new firm took possession
January 15. Messrs. Gardner and Owen
will move to Rochester. They have been
connected with the Teachers' Improvement
Company of Dansville, publishers of the
Normal Instructor.
Some of the florists of Cincinnati have
been victimized by bogus checks given
by a well-dressed man about 25 years
old, weighing 160 pounds, light mus-
tache and hair and wearing a black suit,
brown overcoat, and black stiff hat, who'
represented himself to be John Clayton.
He would order a wreath delivered and
would tender a check tor $30 in pay-
ment. The checks were signed "W. A.
Collier," and were made on the Cleve-
land National Bank, but found to be
worthless.
Her Britannic Majesty's consul at
Philadelphia, Mr. W. Powell, January
14, by command of the Queen, as con-
veyed to him in a note from theSecretary
of Foreign Affairs, the Marquis of Lans-
downe, delivered a letter from Her Maj-
esty to Mr. D. Fuerstenberg, president
of the Floral Exchange Inc., thanking
him for the Christmas box of the new
rose Queen of Edgely sent to England
December 15 on the steamer Lucania,
and which arrived at Osborne Castle in
time for the Christmas festivities.
Mr. Powell was good enough to add
that the gift gave great pleasure not
only to Mer Hajesty, but to the British
public as well.
The letter reads as follows:
" Osborne.
" The Private Secretary is commanded
by the Queen to thank the president of
the Floral Exchange tor the beautiful
roses which the corporation have been
good enough to send to Her Majesty,
and with which theQueen is well pleased.
*' The roses arrived in good condition,
and are greatly admired by Her Majesty,
who has desired this expression of her
thanks and pleasure to be conveyed to
the Floral Exchange corporation for
their gift."
In the annual report of the New York
Botanical Garden, the director, Dr. N. L.
Britton, reports the collection of 12,000
herbarium specimens gathered by five of
the garden's exploration and collection
parties in Colorado, northern Idaho, the
New England coast, the delta of the Mis-
sissippi, and eastern Wyoming. Ot the
$10,0110 authorized by the Board of
Managers to be raised for the stocking ot
the great conservatories, ?2,115 was
subscribed in answer to a circular letter
sent to all members of the garden, and
plants to the minimum value of $10,000
were contributed. In the past year ac-
cessions to the amount of nearly two
hundred volumes were made to the li-
brary, and many hundred specimens of
mosses, fungi, seeds and conservatory
plants from all over the world. The gar-
den 's exploration and collection this year
will include a visit to Kew Gardens, for
the purpose ot acquiring by exchange
specimens from the Calcutta Herbarium,
and a botanical expedition to the West
Indies.
A very appropriate popular name tor
the calceolaria, says Meehan's Monthly,
is mentioned by a writer in Lippincott's
namely, "fisherman's basket." The pe-
culiarly formed flower resembles such a
basket as closely as naturecould makeit.
[Another expressive name given to the
calceolaria flower, one which brings back
memories ot childhood, is "granny's
pouch" (grandma's pocket), and which
appellation many Scotch gardeners may
recall. This pocket, shaped like the cal-
ceolaria, flower, was one of grand-
mother's constant companions, and had
lots ot fascination tor the bairns, for
here the old body stored her candy re-
wards bestowed for good behavior or
to soothe a youngster in distress.— Ed.]
A bulletin (No. 85, October; 1900) on
the subject ot chrysanthemum rust, pre-
pared by Dr. J. C. Arthur, has just been
issued by the Purdue University Indiana
Agricultural Experiment Station. It
says that care to keep out the disease
and hand picking, with total destruction
ot badly diseased plants when it does
appear, should be effective in wholly
evading the disease or in eradicating it
within a year or two. Spraying all
plants in a house frequently with Bor-
deaux mixture or sulphide of potassium
will doubtless assist in keeping the dis-
ease in check.
Next week we shall begin the publica-
tion ot a series of articles on the subject
of "Store Management," contributed by
someof our most successful retail florists.
These articles will be accompanied with
illustrations ot a very practical and sug-
gestive nature, with especial reference to
decorations. We solicit from our retail
readers photographs of work done by
them along this line tor reproduction in
our columns.
In the issue of La Semaine Horticole of
December 29, 1900, M. Lucien Linden
announces his withdrawal from the edi-
torial management ot that journal. He
has been connected with the Belgian
horticultural press for a period ot 25
years. M. Linden will devote his time
to the supervision ot his large establish-
ment, I'Horticole Coloniaie.
S. A. F. 0. H.
To the Officers and Members of the So-
ciety of American Florists and Orna-
mental Horticulturists.
Greeting: The society ot which you
are honored members fittingly closed the
nineteenth century with the grandest and
most comprehensive exhibition and con-
vention in Kew York last August ever held
in this country, an exhil)iiion which, in
the opinion of many competent judges,
was equal to, it it did not actually surpass,
anything ever shown in any country. We
enter the i wentieth century stronger as a
society than ever before in our history.
We have accomplished much, but there is
yet much to be achieved. A national
charter is one of the objects aimed at.
Closer relations beween the parent society
and special trade societies is desired. Tije
development ot oar natural resources for
the production of much which we now im-
port is essential. The collection and dis-
semination of facts which bear on a higher
development of our products is necessary.
A more active aid from national and State
experiment stations is needed. These and
many other valuable advantages may be
secured; but united, active support of
oflScers and committees is necessary. A
large increase in membership wasobtained
the past year, but there are hundreds, yes,
thousands outside the fold who should be
in, and can be brought in by earnest in-
dividual effort. Solicit your friends and
neighbors to join the society. Impress
upon ihem the advantages of cooperation.
The society has obtained cheaper postage,
cheaper expressage, cheaper freight; has
obtained valuable legislation. It bas cre-
ated a trnde press which disseminates val-
uable information and provides a medium
whereby we can buy and sell at an advan-
tage unknown before its establishment.
Tlie trade cannot afford to stand by idle.
They may lose, we all may lose some of the
advantages gaint^d unle s we present a
solid and gradually extending front. With
a growth in membership our powers will
increase, our influence widen.
Don't iforget your State vice-presidents.
Send them reports of what is doing in hor-
ticulture in your neighborhood. It your
State Legislaiure is considering measures
bearing on your business, get your State
vice-president to take the matter up and
then support him in his efforts. If exist-
ing State laws can be amended for your
benefit, do likewise. Send suggestions for
the improvement of the society to the sec-
retary, who will bring them before the
Exf cutive Committee in due season. Take
a lively interest in the society's affairs at
all times; it will pay you to do so. Become
life members. In this prosperous year
celebrate the opening of the new century
in that way. It is saving time and money
and establishing the society on a firmer
basis. Last but not lea«t, prepare to at-
tend the convention in B ffalo next Au-
gust. The horticultural department of
the Pan-American Exhibition will sur-
Eass anything of the kind ever seen. Show
y your presence that you appreciate the
effort.
Wishing all a happy and prosperous new
year and soliciting your hearty coopera-
tion, we remain for success.
Fraternally yours,
Patrick O'Mara Pres.
Wm J. Stewart, Sec'y.
Some Hsindsome Catalogaes.
BuBPKE's Farm Annual (Quarter Cen-
tury Edition).— The firm ot W. Atlee Bur-
pee &Co.,ot Philadelphia, has been estab-
lished 25 years, and the present Farm
Annual gives a very fair conception ot
the concern's extraordinary development
within the period mentioned. The first
catalogue of the firm, issued in the Cen-
tennial year ot 1876, contained but 48
pages; the Quarter Century Farm An-
nual embraces some 220 pages, and
these replete with a mine of information
ot exceptional value, not the least in-
structive ot which is the outline of the
work done by this house in the improve-
ment ot vegetable, flower and other
seeds during the past 25 years, a record,
surely, to be proud ot. Excellent exterior
and interior views ot the extensive Bur-
pee Building, 475 and 477 North Fifth
Street, Philadelphia, are presented, to-
gether with a brief, but modest sketch of
the firm's annual growth from its incep-
tion to the present time; a very full and
complete list ot novelties, and colored
plates reproduced from nature ot the
New Matchless muskmelon. Quarter Cen-
tury tomato. Caprice nasturtium, dahlias
Magnificent, Harlequin and Salmon
Queen; besides innumerable illustrations
ot vegetables, flowers, etc. The firm be-
gins " the twentieth century full ot the
spirit ot progress. Who shall venture to
set limits to the possibilities ot the next
25 years?" And echo answers " Who?"
Garden Calendar, Henry A. Dreer,
Philadelphia, Pa.— The 1901 calendar
comes to us in a most attractive and
beautiful dress. The front cover shows
an excellent embossed representation, in
color, ot the anemone Queen Charlotte,
the back cover being devoted to colored
specimens of Koyal Sweet Sultans; the
firm name and address handsomely em-
bossed in gold lettering— a very artistic
combination. The catalogue is fully up
to the standard ot its predecessors, rank-
ing in the van of similar publications
Issued. Full lists ot novelties and spe-
cialties are enumerated, and the collec-
tions of general stocks comprise some
not found in other catalogues, particu-
larly in the line ot plants. Profusely
illustrated.
Everything for the Garden.— Peter
Henderson & Co., New York.— Here we
have another most beautiful catalogue
In its handsome dress of green and
gold. The lite-like portraits ot the old
gentleman with his basket ot choice
vegetables and the little maiden with
her vase of roses, all in colors, lorming
the cover pictures, are unique concep-
tions, artistically carried out. In addi-
tion to the very numerous illustrations
there are colored plates ot new pea Keli-
ance, Crimson Cushion tomato, Immen-
sity lettuce, Henderson cucumber. Crim-
son Globe beet. Improved Henderson
Bush Lima bean. Giant Mottled and
Giant Bullied pansies. Scarlet Dragon
salvia, Crystal Palace Collection of sweet
peas. Empire Collection ot hardy ever-
blooming roses, including Liberty, Bur-
bank, Solell d'Or; also Henderson's
"Captivating" Collection of geraniums.
The title ot the catalogue expresses just
what one can find enumerated in the con-
tents—" Everything tor the Garden,"
and that of the newest and best. The
price of the pamphlet is 20 cents.
New York Florists' Club.
The first meeting ot the year, held on
Monday evening, January 14, was fairly
well attended. Retiring President
O'Mara, in handing over the responbi-
bilities ot the chair to his successor,
Walter F. Sheridan, reviewed briefly the
work accomplished by the club during
the past twelvemonth and thanked the
members tor their hearty cooperation.
Adverting to the show to be held In
Madison Square Garden at the end ot
October next, Mr. O'Mara said that he
believed the club would prove equal to
the occasion, and as a result a great
horticultural exhibition would be held in
New York City every year. The present
prosperity ot the club went to show that
when each of the members bad somettiiug
to do the club will be in better shape
than when dealing solely with routine
matters. It was that idea that impelled
the officers ot the club to hold a horticul-
tural exhibition. He asked tor his suc-
cessor the same loyal, earnest, active
and energetic support that bad been ac-
corded to himself, and predicted, It that
be forthcoming, the club would prosper
the present year as it had done the past
one.
Mr. Sheridan, on taking the chair, was
received with loud applause. In the
course of a tew introductory remarks,
alter paying tribute to the earnest work
ot his predtccssor, he pointed out the
necessity ot establishing a committee on
membership, whose work would be to
distribute literature in the locality of
each member thereof, setting forlli the
objects and value ot the club. He also
advised that a Summer outing be held
by the members. Themembership of the
club had increased from 169 to over 200
members in good standing, and the In-
debtedness to the club tor back dues had
very considerably diminished Irom that
ot last year. Mr. Sheridan suggested the
appointment of a committee on nomina-
tions, so as to better facilitate the nom-
ination and election ot ofiicers of the
club; also that a committee be appoint-
ed to revise the rules and regulations
governing exhibits made before the club
with a view to these rules being made
less stringent and more conducive to
largerexhibitionsthan was thought pos-
sible under present conditions. His re-
marks had special reference to thea ward-
ing of certificates by the club, regarding
which the present rules are very rigid.
He also suggested a freer use ot the Ques-
tion Box, touching on the generosity ot
the club members, who stood ready and
willing at alltimes to aid a brother seek-
ing information or advice, and intimated
that he would like to see moremembers
get on their feet when any subject was
under discussion.
The various officers were then intro-
duced and promised taithtui work during

A letter was read from Mr. William
Plumb, acknowledging receipt of the

and wishing the club every prosperity

Mr. U'Mara, in accordance with the
suggestion of the president as to chang-
ing the by-laws referring to nominations,
offered the folio wing amendment: "Strike

the following: The president shall ap-
point, not later than the July meeting, a

The sum ot $1 50 was voted to the En-
tertainment Committee to provide the
necessary social features for the coming

Mr. Wallace suggested that the next
meeting, in February, be a " carnation
meetiug," and that the Committee on
Entertainment be asked to provide for
that night a speaker on the subject ot
carnations, and also to endeavor to
secure as many exhibits, particularly of
novelties, as possible. This the commit-
tee will do.
The Starin resolutions, beautifully en-
grossed, were on view and ordered to be
suitably tramed and sent to Mr. Starin
at an early date.
Richard Vincent, Jr., ot White Marsh,
Md., was present, and entertained the
members with a brief accountot his early
experiences In America, touching feelingly
on the hearty reception he met with dur-
ing the convention season last year. He
extended a hearty invitation to the mem-
bers tocometoBaltimorenext month for
the Carnation Society's meeting. The
Baltimoreans were preparing to give a
grand reception to all the delegates.
They woulil hHve carnations from the
top of the Allegha>ule8 like great big fruit
trees, and something was wanted there
in competition with these.
They also wanted to learn all that It
was possible to learn about the divine
flower. A vote of thanks was passed to
Mr. Vincent tor his enjoyable remarks.
Mr. O Mara stated that any sugges-
tions or amendments to the schedule, tor-
warded either to Mr. Withers or himself,
would receive careful consideration, and
that every member ot the club should feel
that it was his duty to aid the commit-
tee with suggestions and advice in the
preparation ot the premium list. The
chairman announced the names of J. H.
Troy and Patrick O'Mara as additional
members to the Exhibition Committee.

meet with the Ways and Means Commit-
tee and the Exhibition Committee at the
club rooms, Monday, January 28.
During the evening refreshments were

The Market.
There has been a liberal demand tor
flowers the past week and a general stif-
fening ot prices in nearly all lines. A
marked shortage was noticeable particu-
larly in roses of all kinds; the plants of
almost every grower seem to be off crop.
There is much conjecture among the
trade as to why roses are so scarce just
now. At this time ot the year they are
usually very plentiful in the market. Es-
pecially does this apply to those of the
shorter grades. Whether the present
dearth is due to some peculiarity of the
weather conditions or that there is a
lesser number of rose plants under culti-
vation this year thau last, we are unable
to say.
The shortage ot roses is having a good
effect on carnations; these are moving
much better than they did a week ago,
and a marked advance in price is noted.
Lily of the valley was at a low ebb the
beginning of the week, but did better as
the week advanced. We saw this stock
offered on the sidewalks in quantity by
the peddlers at 10c. per bunch.
Violets are plentiful, but clear out at
fair prices considering the large supply
coming in. The weather has been mild
and favorable torthe street venders' traf-
ficking, and as long as this condition pre-
vails there is an assured outlet tor
almost any quantity of violets, though,
of course, high prices are out of the ques-
tion. There have been instances within
the last few days where single violets
brought a higher price than some of the
double varieties.
Tulips, lilacs, daffodils and sweet peas
are coming in, but only in limited quanti-
ties as yet. Paper White and Trumpet
Major narcissus are selling freer than
they were, as also are Roman hyacinths.
Lilies, when good, move all right, but
the same cannot be said of the interior
blooms. Callas are always on hand, and
the demand Is somewhat erratic.
Bouvardia and mysotiscome in irregu-
larly, aud of such varied qualities that
no standard prices obtain. The demand
tor smilax, asparagus and adiantum is
about equal the supply, and no cnange
in values can be noted.

THE REIAIL TRADE.
Modern Christmas Decorating;.
The recent advanciug use of electric
ligbts for augmeutiug show effects in
fiorists' decorating brings about almost
or quite a changed condition of opera-
tions iu orders that call for pretentious
work.
As showing theadaptableextent of the
use of this new element or accessory, and
for giving to the readers the leading
features in a ball decoration of a Christ-
mas character, the constructed parts of
which wereoutof the ordinary, it pleases
us to describe a job recently done by
Palmer & Sou, florists, of Buffalo.
The occasion was that of the annual
ball given by the Buffalo Club in its ele-
gant clubhouse of ample dimensions on
Delaware Avenue, on the night of Decem-
ber 21, 1900.
Efforts were made by the committee in
charge of this affair on behalf of the club
to eclipse any former attempt in the
decorati g line. Palmers were given
practically a carte blanche order, with
the finished result of theflneetand
most effective ball decoration to '
date here.
Strictly a "Christmas effect"
was sought for. High-priced
flowers were used but little, and
besides greens, the live cut mater-
ials employed were limited to
Meteorroses, poinsettiasand Har-
risi liilies, with their foliage. Un-
usual attention to details of
arrangement of the materials
employed was given, however,
that demanded much careful aud
patient work.
The ample, 30-foot-wide vesti-
bule, where the guests entered,
was hedged on its two sides with
spruce trees and canopied with
ground pine roping, liberally
used. The furnishing of the spac-
ious main hall of the house, in
which the guests were received,
includes three large fireplaces and
mantels. The openings of the
former were filled in withpoinset-
tias, whiletheshelves were banked
or trimmed well toward the high
ceiling with Boston ferns and long-
stalked Harrisii lilies, standing
out from and above their feathery
green.
At the end of the hall, oppo-
site the entrance, a canopy was
arranged extending forward eight
feet with a length of ten feet,
first treated in the rough with
greens, this was liberally trimmed
with Meteor roses, supplemented
by 3fi red electric lights and a
30-inch suspended bell of ground
pine, finished with a red light
tongue. The railing of the grand
stairway leading from this main
hall was garlanded with ground
pine, looped up with bunches of ^___
holly and bows of red ribbon.
The effectiveshowof thisbright-l'ghted
large reception hall, brought about by
tho combiuatiou of deep livini; coloring
against green, modified by the white of
the lilies on the mantels, could but pro-
duce a vivid and pleasing first Impre-slou
on the senses of the incomer.
A 14-foot-loug hallway, thateonneeted
the house parlor proper with the billiard
room (this lust used for dancl g), was
completely transformed into an arbor.
From the floor up it was lined in every
part with wild smilax fastened to a wire
netting foundation. This was inter-
twined with paper morning-glory flowers
and foliage in vines, and the full blooms
of which werecHutered with a tiny electric
light. Fully 300 such were employed in
this small feature, which, hough extrav-
agant, was unmistakably brilliant.
The club billiard room, about 35 feet
square, with a ceiling 13 feet from the
floor, was transformed into a dancing
parlor. Each of the five large chande-
liers was bedecked with a suspended
(hree-foot spread of mistletoe, inter-
spersed with red electric lights. Theceil-
ing beams of this room were treated
with wild smilax in a drooping effect
that this material so gracefully lends
itself to. Fourlargecolumns weretwined
with the wild smilax, and the doorways
also were decorated with it.
Wild smila.x and mistletoe only were-
used In the lighter decorating of this
room, but though simple, as employed,
it resulted In a pleasing effect. Besides,
as mentioned, in this room the base of
the fireplace, which shows a spread of 15
feet, was banked with palms, ferns and
poiusettias, and similar materials were
employed in the arrangement on the
mantel shelf, the same being built up close
totheceiling. This mantel-trimmed effect
proved almost a flower show in itself.
The large gymnasium room of the club
was reached by a hallway which, was
arbored In ground pine, with a two-foot
bell of the same material added. This
room, in dimensions of 40 by 60 feet, was
also turned into a dancing parlor. As
regards the decorations, it was treated
in the most profuse and elaborate
manner.
The scheme here employed, new to us,
and we understand original of concep-
tion, was strong of outline and bold.
It called for carefull.v studlfd-out plans
and method of operaling, and resulted
in strictly decorating a large space so
thati' was not i>ver-decorated, neithnr
lacking in expression and finish. More-
over, the materials employed were
arranged to stand out 1 ■ free display,
hence to economical use. The adopted
plan included the pacing of six arched
forms radiating from so many equi-dis-
tant points on thetwo sidesof the room,
and meeting at the ceuter close to the
ceiling. The arcs of these arches described
a curve that dropped slightl.v lower at
this center point. This resulted in grace-
6 to 15 feet. In the decoration of this
room and recess, the bells made use of as
referred to approximated 400 in num-
ber. They were constructed on simple
wire frames and paper lined by piece-
work. A temporary use of fabrics and
hangings was employed in covering sup-
ports and necessary fastenings, aud also
lor producing a gala appearance.
At loss of the color features, the pho-
tographed view of this room, and as
shown looking toward the recessed end,
gives a partial idea of this scheme of
decorating as worked out. The settees
shown give some idea of dimensions.
The clubhouse " plunge," or pool, was
trimmed about its Hides so as to repre-
sent a miniature lake. A fountain was
playing in it, while it also was spanned
by a floral bridge. The mere adjustment
and placing of the floral part of this j(3b
required the steady work of four experi-
enced men, besides superintendence, for
a period of five days, that included much
extra or over time to insure completion.
Three electric- ight men were also em-
ployed during the same period, and spe-
cialists in drapery lines arranged and
placed the fabrics used.
This order was all done under the direct-
ing superintendence of Arthur E. Beyer,
Christmas Decoration of Buffalo Club-House.

'ul outlines iu the form or bend of these
arches. The arches proper rested on, or
started from six-foot-high wooden ped-
estals, evrrgieen covered. The length of
each arc from these foundation point to
the center of the ceiling represented 40
feet. The needed shapes used were li-by-
6-inch sawed out wood forms. In ad-
dition to the bottom end and center
fastenings, the use of suspending sup-
ports from the ceiling was also carried
out. These wood forma were first cov-
ered with spruce foliage, that gave a
good body for freely attaching wild smi-
lax in a loose and graceful, drooping
style. Hanging in turn among this
foliage. In regular arrangement of
suspended iengtlisanddistancefrom each
other, six-inch diameter Christmas bells
of deflned form, inside green paper cov-
ered, with tongue of electric light and
finished outside with wild smilax, were
added in seemingly endless numbers. A
liberal looping of heavy laurel garland
further supplemented this open overhead
effect.
A part of one end of this room includes
a raised 12-foot-deep recess, or sort of
balcony, which was used as a retiring or
view-point adjunct. It was freely treated
with and also divided into a number of
so-called "boxes" by wild smilax in light
droops, and among which the same elec-
tric-tongued bells as employe! on the
arches were freel.v used. The front, or
railing, of this recess was looped with
laurel and wild smilax attached to a
temporary placed cloth-draped front un-
derneath. The musicians' space was
screened from general view by a hedge of
spruce trees, these varying in height from
a young Buffalo florist who has achieved
some distinction k)cally as a decorator.
The leading features employed In it and
the planning of the working details which
consummated in such an auspicious
finish, receiving the unanimous approval
of the ilisceruing members of this club,
were largely of hi.s conception and reflect
favorably on his energetic ability.

Trials and Tribulations of Retailers.
Read hv W-ilter Kri'itlin^ hffore the Chicago
Florists' Club, January 4.
The position of the legitimate store-
keeper is beset with many difficulties, and
from his staudpnint he thinks a more
satisfactory business basis or method
ought to he estahlisbed. For illustra-
tion, lhe hgiiinioti- storekeeper looks
upon the street merchant as a very great
factor in disturbing the bufiness of the
former, from the fact that the latter is at
so little expense to conduct his. He has
but very little rent to pay and no outlay
for lighting, packing or delivery, and no
extra help to pa.y in the busy seasons.
The street r rrcbant ought to pay his
legitimate share, either by rental or by
license, of those expenses neceesaril.v per-
taining to the business of the legitimate
storekeeper.
The legitimate storekeeper has another
insidious enemy to contend with, and
that is the crape chaser. To suggest a
remedy for this evil is seemingly very
hard Indeed, and how to proceed or what
course to pursue so as to check the crape
chaser is a problem that may well be
taken up and thoroughly discussed and
investigated.
The storekeeper fetls that he has
another and greater grievance, and one
that is more injurious than either of the
others or all of them combined — namely,
the wholesale flower dealers and com-
mission firms who sell to actual consum-
ers any of their goods at the same prices
as they sell the same goods to practical
and responsible storekeepers. .Some
houses even solicit such business, and
many funeral designs are made and de-
livered to private individuals by the
wholesalers at a lower price than they
can be purchased b.v the legitimate store-
keeper and at a figure that would be
ruinous to retailers. It is only afew days
since a prominent storekeeper was tele-
phoned for aud requested to come aud
arrange flowers for one of his patrons,
who coolly informed him that he hail
found a wholesale house where he could
buy his flowers at just about half the
price charged by the retailer. Now, seem-
ingly, this should not be done, and the
line ought to be drawn somewhere so
that we would have a chance to make a
fair profit on all the goods we handle,
at least a living profit, without bemg
handicapped by those from whom we
purchase goods. Therefore, it seems ad-
visable that we thoroughly discuss these
evils, aud endeavor in some manner to
remove, or at least lessen, the difficulties
with which we have to contend In doing
a legitimate business.
BRIEFS FOR BUSY FLORISTS.
PjEONIes intended to be forced into
flower for Easter should be taken out of
the ground now and potted or boxed
up. Where the clumps are very large,
they can be easily divided. Pot them
into model ately stiff soil, and place in a
rather cool house, one, say, of about 50
degrees night temperature, until the
plants show signs of growing, when the
temperature may be raised gradually to
58 or 60 degrees at night. After they .
once start to grow, keep the plants well
supplied with water at all times.
Tuberous Begonias and Gloxinias.—
Where tuberous beironias aud gh)xlniu8
are grown from the bulbs, it is about
time to lie getting them into pots. Wheu
potting, use one justlargeenough to take"
in the bulb nicely; a three-Inch pot Is
plenty big enough in most cases. Leave
the " nose" of tlie bulb just in sight, and
give one good watering after the opera-
tion is finished. Place the pots on a
bench where moist sand is kept for them
to stand upon, then the bulbs should not
be watered again until growth com-
mences. It water be given them continu-
ally betore growth starts, the bulbs
will rot away instead of growing. When
the roots begin to move freely the plants
will need repotting, as they must not be
allowed to become root bound until the
flowering size pots has been reached.
Dutch hyacinths can be depended
upon to flower reasouably well from
now on, and small batches should be
brought in at intervals, so that a con-
tinuous supply may be had.
Pots of lily of the valley can also
be had with fair success; but the foliage
is apt to lie a little shy yet, and unless
there is likely to be a good demand, it
will be betterto waittwo or three weeks
before bringing this stock on in any
quantity.
Fern Balls.— If these have not yet
been started, they should be got into the
house as soon as possible. All they need
la to hang them to the rafters, syringe
daily, and once in three orfour days take
them down and dip them overhead in a
pail of water. As a Summer plant, either
for store or hitting-roora, fern balls have
proved among the best subjects. As they
can be grown hung from the rafters in
the greenhouse, they take up no valua-
ble room, and their treatment while
growing is so simple that there is no
reason why every florist, however lim-
ited his greenhouse capacity, should not
grow a few of these ferns for Summer
trade.
Carnations —A light mulch of well-
rotted manure applied at this time will
prove beneficial; or the mulch may con-
sist of sheep manure and soil, in equal
parts, put on about half an inch thick.
Where red spider appears, keep it down
by syringing the plants forcibly every
day. Should there be no red spider,
ayringlng is unnecessary.

A Succession of Plants to
Keep Greenhouse Benches Full.
Read by Jnliu Ri'anloii bi-rore the Cbicago
Florists' Ctrih, January 4.
The gentleman that Introduced this
subject must have had in mind the days
of .^0 J ears ago, when it meant some-
thing to have a succession of plants to
keep greenhouse benches full.
The practice of late years has been to
plant permanently. I am glad to see
some of the good old plants coming to
the front again. In a paper of this kind
It is impossible to name all the plants
that are required by a florist'to lound
out his year's work. Our trade papers
cover the ground accurately and fully.
The up-to-date gardener must antici-
pate six months ahead what he will keep
his benches full with and whether he wi 1
raise his plants from seed or cuttings.
The 1st of October ought to find all
available space occupied. The chrysan-
themum house will be the first empty,
and what a wreck you quickly make here.
I pity the florist that has not made pro-
visions to fill this house. It may be that
the florist who has the material to fill
the empty benches is not always the one
in most need of the money. This may
sound funny, but it's true. (Gentlemen,
kindly pardon me if I don't hew closely
to the lines of my subject.)
There is a difference of two months or
more between the early and late chrys-
anthemums; it requires some knowledge
of your varieties to plant the house right.
On the south bench plant the early varie-
ties and it possible commeote cutting at
the east end of the other benches. By so
doing you never have much of the benches
empty at any time, and your chrysanthe-
mums don't throw any shade on the
plants you fill up with. For a succession
of plants I would suggest primroses,
cinerarias, Roman hyacinths. Paper
White narcissus, azaleas of early varie-
ties, stevia, heath, and, if possible, bou-
vardla, cyclamen, begonias, and poin-
settias. Wholesale growers fill up with
Liliums longiflorum and Harrisii for
their Winter and especially for their
Easter trade.
As you dispose of your stock have
something always to take its place.
Christmas trade has left us with some
empty space. Bring In tulips and Dutch
hyacinthsand Von Sion narcissus. Keep
a sharp lookout now for what you want
for Spring bedding plants. The propa-
gating bench must be kept busy. Keep
up the succession with lilies, azaleas,
Astilbe japonica, calceolarias, acacias,
heaths, rhododendrons, genistas, hya-
cinths, tulips, hydrangeas, hybrid per-
petual and Crimson Rambler rotes and
fuchsias. These are theplants you want
for Easter trade.
The 1st of March Is a very busy time
for the gardener sowing seed, propagat-
ing and repotting. Keep the greenhouse
benches full with geraniums, cannae and
the thousand other plants that go to
make up a florist's stock for his Spring
and Summer trade. Don't forget you
may want to plant the chrysanthemum
house again; haveplenty of stock. Keep
the houses looking as well as possible
through the Summer. This can be done
with gloxinias, gesnerias, achimenes,
Meyenia erecta. Rex begonias, and fancy
caladiums.
I said I was glad to see the plant trade
reviving again. When 1 see the heather
brought down from the mountain after
a sleep of 20 years, can you wonder that
the younger gardeners do not know how
to treat old Rip? I do believe there is a
good business awaiting the man that
will go into this feature of the plant
trade near Chicago. What grower round
here hes made as much money at Christ-
mas time as the Chicago retail florists
sent Kast for their plant trade?
It may not be out of place for me to
mention a few good old plants coming
to the front again. Mahernia odorata.
Euphorbia jacauinipflora, chorizema,
Poinsettia pulcherrima. The epacris and
Rose-Growing: Under Difficulties.
Rudolph Asmus, of New Durham,
N. J., whose extensive greenhouse estab-
lishment is chieHy devoted to the cultiva-
tion of roses, is working under such ad-
verse conditions in trying to produce
fine quality blooms as probably never
tell to the lot of any other member ot the
craft. In close proximity to his green-
houses there is a large rubber manufac-
tory where soft coal is burned. There

that was unwashed, demonstrating how
the plants here are under a continual
shade.
Previous to 1807 the factory was
under different management, and hard
coal only was used; since that time,
however, the management passed into
other hands, and a change in the kind
of coal employed has resulted in the big-
gest nuisance that a rose grower could
be subjected to.
ericas, known as heath, are grand plants,
and are as easy to propagate as carna-
tions and can be had in bloom from
Christmas to Easter. Bouvardias, jas-
mines and camellias. The azalea always
held its own, but how maltreated it is in
most florists' liands to-day ! I have often
thought and wished that the source of
supply of this plant was cut oft tor a tew
years in order that florists would appre-
ciate and take better care of this, the
grandest ot all our Spring flowering
plants.
In conclusion, I may say If you don't
grow chrysanthemums, grow the list of
plants I lierewlth present to you, grow
plenty ot them, and you will always have
abundance of stock to keep your green-
house benches full.
are tour smokestacks that emit liuge
volumes of black smoke, both night and
day, and the grime and soot tliat settle
on'the glass keep the greenlioutes under
continual shade. Every intelligent
grower knows that to produce good
roses undershiidlngof any kind Is utterly
Impossible, and Mr. Asmus, whose
skill as a grower is unquestioned, finds
that as time advances his crops are
gradually dlmlidshing in (luautity as nell
as deteriorating in quality.
Our illustrations show the cause of the
nuisance, and also give some idea ot the
dirticultles under which Mr. Asmus is
compelled to labor. The picture ( Kig. 2)
shows where a piece ot white caniboard
was tacked underneath a pane of glass
that had been washed clean and one
(14) Roses lor Easter.— How long
before Easter should roses be disbudded
to insure a good crop for that iestival?
The house is plan ted to Bride and Brides-
maid.—B.
—Easter Sunday comes on April 7, and
the disbudding should be done not later
than March 1.
(15) Ground Mice Eating Carna-
tions.— Use Rough on Rats. Spread it
on buttered bread; cut the bread into
small piecesand lay it about on the beds.
Or if poison is objected to, introduce a
good cat into the houses. The latter
method is perhaps the better where the
houses contain only carnations.
(16) Lilium Harrisii for Easter. —
What temperature is necessary to get
Lilium Harrisii in bloom for Easter?
The plants are 6 to 8 inches high now.
— Keep the night temperature at 60
degrees, with a rise of from 8 to 12 de-
grees higher in the daytime. The buds
should be in sight by the first day of
March to be about right for Easter,
which this year falls on April 7.
(17) Red Spider on Carnations.
— Can you give me a remedy for red
spideroncaruatious? I have hot water,
and with a steam pump have plenty ot
water pressure, butit will notkeep down
the pest.— D. H. M. .
—A good force ot pure water is the^best
remedy for red spider. If the attack is
very severe, however, we would advise
syringing late in the afternoon for three
consecutive days; the moisture thus left
on the plants over night would soon set-
tle the spider. This would only have to
be done when absolutely necessary, as if
continued it would produce a soft, weak
growth.
(18) Flowering Shrubs for Easter.
—Could you suggtst the proper time and
tempirature required tor forcing flower-
ing cherries and wistaria tor Easter?
— Bring the wistarias into the house
about February 15 and maintain a
night temperature of 60 degrees. The
cherries should be brought In about the
1st of March and grown under the same
temperature. Syringe freely every day
after the plants have been placed in the
greenhouse, as that helps materially to
hasten them along. When the flowers
liegin to show, the syringing must be
discontinued.
( 19 ) Roses and Carnations in Flue-
Heated Greenhouses.— Is it possible
to grow good roses and carnations in
greenhouses heated by the old-style hot-
air flue? I would like to know who is
using this system, and with what suc-
cess.— A. T. S.
— In answer to the above, we may say
that it is possible to grow good roses
and carnations in Hue-heated green-
houses, but the cure that a flue requires
to maintain anything like an even tem-
perature both night and day is so great,
and as other and better methods ot beat-
ing have been found, there is no reason
on earth why weshould go back to anti-
quated methods. Oood flowers can be
grown under the old system, but better
Howers can bo obtained and more of
them under modern conditions. We do
not know the addresses ot any up-to-date
growers who are using the Hue system.
Perhaps some ot our readers can furnish
such.
(20) Ijaok of Fragrance in Violets.
— I^lease let me know why my violets are
not fragrant. I grow the varieties Lady
Hunje CHmpheli, California anil i'rincess
ot Wales. I u-C(l us a mulch horse
manure that wasn't as well rotted as It
might have been. Would this fact be re-
spoueible tor the lack of fragrance'.'— F.
W.

Thb F=l.orists* Exchange.
;"— Violets will lose their fragrance from
su many causes that it is rather ditUcult
to determine from what source the trou-
ble arose in the present case. We do not
chink the fragrance has been lost through
the use of the horse manure, though if
the manure had been employed when
quite green, it would probably aHect the
Howers for a few days, but its ill effects
would soon wear away. We would ad-
vise that every part of the house be
thoroughly cleaned and plenty of fresh
lime be sprinijled around and under the
benches; also to give a sprinkling of lime
over the mulch of manure on the benches.
We would also advise that the flowers
be always picked as soon as they are
ready. To leave them too long on the
plants is one of the greatest causes of
violets losing their fragrance.
(21) Are Greeiihoases Personal
Property? — Kindly inform me whether
you have any knowledge of any decisions
of the courts as to whether greenhouses
can be held as personal property of a
mortgagor or against a mortgagee in the
event ot a foreclosure, the houses having
been erected by the mortgagor subse-
quent to the giving of the mortgage. If
so, will you kindly favor me with cita-
tloni of the cases, so that 1 may refer to
them? An early reply will be greatly
appreciated.
— This question comes under the law
of fixtures. Articles that may assume
the character of realty or personalty,
according to circumstances are flxtures;
things substantially alBxed to the soil,
though in their nature removable.
" In determmingas between mortgagor
and mortgagee whether or not things
are fixtures, the same rule applies as be-
tween grantor and grantee" (15 Misc.,
15y), and the rule is: " Give him all that
was regarded as realty when he accepted
the sec-urity, and anything added after
giving a mortgage that becomes a sub-
stantial part of realty will pass to the
mortgagee on foreclosure" (Kice on Real
Prop. p. 44). " Hop poles used in a hop
yard planted subsequently to the making
of a mortgage held part ot the real es-
tate and pass to the mortgagee on fore-
closure" (11 N. y., 12a).
"Manure upon land about a barnyard
will pass under a conveyance of the land
and to the mortgagee" (2 Hill, 142).
Although articles may have been an-
nexed to the land for the purpose of
trade, it makes no difference, they pass
as part of the freehold; 12 N. Y., 170
holds that permanent erections and im-
provements made by the mortgagor
after the execution ot a mortgage, upon
the laud mortgaged, become a part ot
the realty and are covered by the mort-
gage. A statue erected as an ornament
to grounds may be a part of the realty,
although it is not fastened to the base
on which it rests, and can be removed
without fracture.
The intention of the person making the
erection often exercises a controlling force,
and Its connection with the land is looked
at principally for the purpose of ascer-
taining whether that intent was that
the thing in question should retain its
original chattel character, or whether it
was designed to make it a permanent
accession to the land. In the case of the
erection of greenhouses by the mortgag-
or, the latter would seem to be the intent,
and the act ot placing greenhouses upon
the land would give the clearest evidence
ot the intent. A purchaser ot the prop-
erty with the greenhouses upon it would
have the right to inter that the green-
houses went with the land. I have been
unable to find any case mentioning a
greenhouse. However, thefollowlDgcases
are to the point and practically decide
the question:
Sawmill with steam engines attached
for the purpose of running the mill and
erected by the owner ot the freehold pass
by a sale of the latter (7 Watts, lOG).
Stills set in brick work used for distil-
ing whisky pass as realty (9 East. 125).
Doors, windows, keys, etc., pass as
part ot realty, being constructively
annexed to house.
Fences ou country farms can never be
considered other than part ot the realty.
The following cases bear on the sub-
ject: Snedeker vs. Waring (12N. Y.,170);
Vorhees vs. McGlnnis (48 N. Y., 278);
Smith vs. Benson (1 Hill, 176); Sheldon
vs. Edwards(35 N. Y.,279); Tiftvs. Hor-
tOD (53 N. Y., 377); Murdock vs. Gif-
ford (18 N. Y., 28): Vanderpoel vs. Van
Allen (10 Barb., 157); Potter vs. Crom-
well (40 N. Y., 287). A greenhouse ot
its very nature teems to be real property,
being fastened solid and firmly to the
ground, and this would show that it
was the owner's intention to make a
permanent structure ot it.
There is no doubt that the greenhouses
are a part ot the real property, and
would therefore pass to the mortgagee
upon foreclosure, and could not be held
by the mortgagor as personal property.

Among Western Carnationists.
The " banks of the Wabash " and other
Indiana localities seem nowadays the
Mecca of florists. To be in the swim the
writer, along with Anton Then, and
Fred Felke, two Chicago growers, andC.
M. Dickinson, of E. H. Hunt, a commis-
sion man, recently made a flying trip
there, taking in what sights we could in
a three days' journey. Fred Dorner &
Sons Co., at Lafayette, was our first
stop. Here, arriving almost at the same
time as ourselves, came from the tar
East William Nicholson, of Framing-
ham, Mass.; Eugene Dailledouze, of Flat-
bush, N. Y., and Kichard Wittersttetter,
ot Cincinnati, who has now both fame
and fortune to his credit, with another
boost for the divine flower.
A well-flowered house of carnations of
one color only is certainly an attractive
sight; but a house with 1,800 pedigree
yearlings, the selection, for further trial,
of 6,000 seedlings, comprising all colors
that the carnation shows, is wondrously
so. How many out ot this year's selec-
tion of varieties will stand the critital
test ot Mr. Dorner, time ran only tell.
They certainly are a fine lot. There is a
white, at present very promising, with
huge flowers; several scarlets, pinks of
various shades ot the Mrs. Thomas W.
Lawsontype, apparently much more per-
fect in shape; also a shell pink of the style
of Olympia, very large and distinctly
mottled in the center of each petal.
There are likewise true yellows, and
.\lr, Dorner yet hopes for the nearest ap-
proach to blue possible in the carnation.
The varieties which it is expected will
be sent out next year are a promising
lot. Among them is a true yellow. No.
18, '98, from Gold Nugget, and another
seedling which is expected to outdo all
yellows so far; another, No. 88, ol '97,
with yellow ground, of picoteestyle. No.
72, ot '98, is an Immense snow white; its
pedigree can be traced back to old Uinze's
White and Silver Spray.
Among thevariegatedonesare those • f
the Mrs. ileorge M. Bradt style; others
with quite distinct heavy tracings of
color; Lorna, a white now beingsentout,
is growing here side by side on benches
with White Cloud, and is certainly a fine
thing. The plants of Mermaid, the sal-
jnou pink, were all cut down for propa-
gating purposes at the time of our visit.
As a rule, plants for cuttings here are
not expected to furnish both flowers and
cuttings at the same time. The cutting
benches are constructed on the sub-
watering plan, and the Dorners are de-
lighted with the results obtained. A sub-
watered bench is also utilized for grow-
ing purposes, but Mr. Dorner claims it is
too expensive for general use.
After a bounteous luncheon, to which
Massachusetts, New York, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois florists sat down, a start
was made for Indianapolis. Only an
evening visit was made here, and to the
Bertermann Bros.' store. The Urm was
then busy preparing decorations for the
inauguration of the governor and legis-
lature.
Here John Bertermann decided to join
U8. Then " On to Kichmond " and E.G.
Hill & Co.'s great manufactory ot roses,
carnations and plants generally. It Mr.
Hill does not shortly vary the monotony
of the three or four sorts of roses only to
be met with in the American markets, it
will not be tor want of trial. Prepara-
tions were just making for grafting 125,-
000 to 150,000 roses ou Manetti stocks.
A new 200-foot iron construction house
is filled with roses of new kinds. From
a batch of 3.000 seedlings 300 are now
under trial. Many new ones have also
Leau imported. There is a seedling of the
La France type with a flower as big as
that ot American Beauty; a white as
large as a tree pseony flower, with faint
blush, of the old Devoniensls tint;
another of a peculiar shade of pink; one
from Papa Uontier showing the fine bud
form of that rose; but the variety he calls
his crown jewel is No. 7, the largest hy-
brid perpetual seen. Another is of the
Kaiserin class ot color; one named Ameri-
can has been recognized as worthy of its
high name. General Jacqueminot is the
parent of one of a continuous flowering
habit and with the color of the type.
Sunrise is here, of course, with its strik-
ing foliage and deep orange yellow
flowers. White Lady is the gold medal
rose of England; every shoot throws a
flower ot monstersize. Marquis de Litta
was just off crop, but looks promising
for another. Liberty was also in a simi-
lar condition. But Mr. Hill believes his
solid low benches are not favorable for
best results. Two of Dickson's, named
Lady (JIanmoris and Lady Corry, are on
trial. One of the seedlings, named Kich-
mond, is satin pink, and one of which
Mr. Hill may well be proud.
Last year's English gold medal new
rose, Bessy Brown, is also here. Duchess
ot Albany is another variety that pro-
duces an immense flower. Tliere is a red
Hermosa of great promise; in fact, roses
are Air. Hill's hobby, and he deserves to
meet with success.
In carnations Mr. Hill is no less an en-
thusiast. He has many of his own seed-
lings, and everything good or promising
of other growers. Mary Wheeler, a pink,
and Elma, also pink, are much thought
of, as is Avondale, the sport of Arma-
zindy. Peru gives great promise here.
Genevieve Lord is doing finely, but, like
others ot its class, it needs a little shade.
The Marquis also finds a place. Sievers'
California Gold is a great producer.
Among other features, begonias are
here grown in enormous quantities, in-
cluding many new importations, among
them Caledonia, the white Glolre de Lor-
raine. Geraniums are also raised in enor-
mous numbers, embracing a lot of new
ones of great merit. Mr. Hill has a veri-
table rubber planttactory, and can never
produce enough of these plants. Several
houses of palms, etc., are also interesting.
We were shown an imported hot water
boiler called the Scotch Marine circular
boiler, 14 feet long, 54 inches in diameter,
with 34 4-inch return flues, which the en-
gineer claims is a great fuel saver. He
also claims that covering the boiler with
asbestos saves eight degrees ot heat.
Many women are employed on this
place, there being 22 hands in all.
Our next visit was to E. T. Grave, the
home of carnation Dorothy and other
long-stemmed varieties. Dorothy has
been in full cut since September; only a
small part is now in flower, all the others
being used for cuttings only. Not many
varieti s are grown here, those that are
being well done. White Cloud is a pic-
ture; even the Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson
producing larger stems here. We should
judge the houses are kept cool all through,
and we noted a slight mulch was used.
Kokomo.the home of W. W. Coles, was
our next stop. Th s place is noted for
large roses. The Kaiserin Augusta Vic-
toria, planted in solid bench in 1893, in its
season throws enormous blooms. The
same may be said ot other teas. This
establishment is also famous for Ameri-
can Beauty, but the plants are now off
crop.
F. B. Tinker, Peru, has a very neat re-
tail place, well handled. He sent out the
carnation Peru. This variety wants to
be grown cool, and is of no use as a Sum-
mer carnation. It originated from a
seedling ot 1895, from Fred Dorner X
Chester Fray.
At each place visited every courtesy
was shown us, and a right royal time
experienced. Ess.
Exhibition at Cincinnati.
Saturday, January 12, was exhibi-
tion day at the Flower Market, violets
being the special exhibits. Jos. R. Gold-
man captured first prize for a table deco-
ration. He had everything complete, mak-
ing a very fine show. In addition to this
he had a violet basket and several vases.
The varieties were Princess of Wales and
Marie Louise. Corbett & Wilson were
second with a very creditable display.
The varieties shown by the firm were
California, Princess of Wales, Marie Louise
and Imperial.
In roses the first prizes for white, pink,
red and yellow vrere taken by Albert
Sunderbruch with Bride, Bridesmaid,
Perle and Liberty. The last-named va-
riety was only of fair quality, its sub-
stance being very poor. In fact, this
rose has not been doing very well with
growers hereabouts.
In carnations W. K. Partridge took
everything in sight. He made an extra
good display, staging nearly all of the
newer varieties, among them being White
Cloud, Ethel Crocker, Mary Wood, Ameri-
ca, G. H. Crane, The Marquis, Mrs.
Frances Joost, Mrs. George M. Bradt,
Peru, Glacier and Estelle. Mr. Partridge
says of Glacier that although it comes
with very short stem, the flower is large
and pure white, and as it is very prolific,
he thinks it will pay the grower to have
some of it. Ol Estelle too much cannot
be said. Every one who has it thinks
well of it. The rooted cuttings will be in
great demand, and there will be but few
of them, as Mr. Wltterstietter, the intro-
ducer, sent out only 10,000 last year.
Mr. Partridge was awarded speciai'meii-
tlon for best display of carnations. He
also staged Bride and Bridesmaid roses.
He would have captured first on the
Bride, but through an oversight 14 roses
were in the vase, the rules calling for 12.
E. Witterstffitter exhibited Enquirer,
which was in fine shape. He also dis-
played Elenora, a white, and a new
white seedling which will be heard from
in time. A vase of red seedlings deserves
special mention.
George & Allen were conspicuous by
their absence. This is the flrst time they
have not made an exhibit in many
months. I hearthat most everybody on
their place is suffering from la grippe.
Perhaps this explains their absence.
The special prize offered by J. Chas.
McCullough for best six American Beauty
was not awarded, no exhibit being
deemed worttiy of it.
I neglected to mention that among Mr.
Partridge's carnations was a vase of
Morning Glory. This is a very good
variety. The flower may be a trifle
small, still it is much better than that of
Daj break. The plant is a fine grower,
throwing long, wiry flower stems. The
only objection I know to this variety is
that it takes too long a time for the
flowers to open out fully.
On January 10 I received some seed-
ling carnations from W. E. Hail, of Clyde,
O. Several were scarlets and some of them
looked quite promising, although a little
under size. One,numbered 46, wasby far
the best; In size, form and stem it very
much resembled Mrs. George M. Bradt.
It is a white, moderately penciled with
pink, and next to the variety named, it
is the best variegated carnation I have
seen. Mr. Hail tells me that this is its
third year, and that it is just as strong
and;lree_a8;Mrs. George M. Bradt.

The Market,
The cut-flower trade has been much
more satisfactory the past week, although
the supply aud demand have hot re-
gained the uice equiiibrium of two or
three weelts ago. Roseo have occasion-
aily beeu short, especially American
Beauty. The weather is exceedingly fine.
Club NtWB.
The club meeting was well attended
and the principal business, the organita-
tion of the carnation convention, was
quiciiiy disposed of, thanks to the highly
satisfactory reports of the working com-
mittees. It has arrived at that stage of
perfection which guarantees a successful
consummation.
Professor Townsend, of the State Agri-
cultural College, gave a highly interest-
ing talk on vegetable pathology, which
he promises to continue at future meet-
ings. After a few introductory remarks.
In which he dwelt on the habit of life of
the different classes of fungoid enemies—
viz , the slime-molds, bacteria, molds and
toadstools — he discussed at some length
the carnation stem rot and calla rot. As
to the former, Professor Townsend has
been able to closely study and cultivate
the fungus which causes the troublesome
disease. It grows in the tubes of the
cells through which the liquid passes
from the roots to the leaves, and while it
absorbs the food matter, it will so fill
these tubes as to choke them up and thus
cut off the food supply. The peculiar
growth of the fungus, which generally
follows the tubes from root to stem, ex-
plains how very often a part of the plant
may be entirely destroyed before the rest
shows any sign of weakness. The fundus
will continue to grow even on dead dr.v
plants and thereon ripen its spores; it
is therefore of great importance for its
suppression that infected plants be care-
fully broken up and burned. Moreover,
the spores will retain their vitality for
.vears, and start Into growth when cir-
cumstances become favorable, even
though no sign of them has been observ-
able for a long while. The selection of
the very strongest plants for propagat-
ing stock therefore commends itself all
the more where the stem rot has ap-
peared. In a recent number of a French
horticultural paper, the same question
was discussed and reference made to the
severe ravages which the stem rot had
caused in the carnation fields of the Medi-
terranean coast. The observations of
the French pathologist coincide with
those of Professor Townsend. and the
most discriminativeselection of the prop-
agating material was recommended, as
prevention of the spread of the disease is
as yet the only means of fighting the
fungus.
The calla rot can be mastered and the
attacked bulbs saved by timely atten-
tion. Professor Townsend has found
that the trouble is caused by a fungus
which attacks the bulbs and from them
grows into the roots and leaves. It ma.y
thus spread from one plant to the other
when the rootsand leaves come into con-
tact. Whenever the presence of the rot
is detected, not only the decayed part
must be cut off and destroyed, but a thin
layer of the healthy part must also be
scraped or cut off, for it Is in the still
healthy-looking part In which the fungus
lives; it grows onward as the decay sets
in. A sprinkling of air-slacked lime and
sulphur over the wound, to dry it out,
prevents a renewed attack. If a number
of bulbs have been attacked, they should
be carefully examined when taken out of
the soil in Summer, the affected parts cut
out, and the bulbs packed away in lime.
By this process a calla grower here has
been able to effectively check the disease.
Professor Townsend was elected an
honorary member of the club.
Mr. Moss staged a couple of vases of
fine carnations and roses, which were
much admired b.v ail— Golden Gate, Bride
and Liberty. Mr. Price, head gardener
of Mrs. Harrison Garrett, showed a large
bnnch of White Cloud carnations of high-
est perfection.
Hydrocyanic Acid Gas on Violets.
Mr. Patterson, In whose violet
house the cyanide fumigation was
carried out by Professor Johnson two
werks ago (see report in No. 1, Vol.
XIII.). says that every vestige of black
aphis has disappeared, and that the
plants are starting to grow very satis-
factorily. He does not think that a sec-
ond fumigation will he necessary — a re-
sult which more than bears out the opti-
mistic opinion of Professor .lohnson. It
may be of some interest to relate the sim-
ple way In which the operation was car-
ried out. Professor Johnson emphasized
the necessity of using every precaution in
the handling of the deadly poison. If the
lungs get once filled with Its fumes, they
may cause instant death, aud the small-
est quantity of itcoming in contact with
wounds or into the mouth may have
fatal consequences. Mr. Johnson, there-
fore, furnishes the potash in sealed paper
packages from his laboratory, and thus
It should be procured from the druggist.
Mr. Patterson's violet house is a narrow
house, with a central walk and a violet
bed on each side. Professor Johnson
placed two water jars, lb which the requi-
site sulphuric Bcld and water had been
mixed. In the walk, each some !.'< or 20
feet from the two doors. Above the jars
he laid a lath across the walk from one
bench to the other, and over it he passed
a string to the nearest door. To the
string he attached the packages of pot-
ash, in such a way that they hung verti-
cally above the jar; then when he had
passed out of the house the packages
were lowered into the water by means of
the string from the doors, these being
now closed. The sulphuric acid will
quickly destroy the paper, and the gas
develops very rapidly. After 25 minutes
the ventilators were raised from the out'
side (the necessary arrangements had, of

Jottings.
The Florists' Exchange of Balti-
more has just closed another year of
profitable business. It has become the
Indispensable wholesale cut-flower mar-
ket. Alex. Scott has mar aged Its affairs
for the last five years to the satisfaction
of consignors and buyers. His post is
not a sinecure, for it requires rare tact
and discernment to arbitrate between
growers and dealers.
Carnations at Holllday Bros.' are at
their best. A number of new varieties
are largely planted. As a producer of
quantities of flowers Genevieve Lord has
here proved its merits. The flowers are
quite from '2V2 to 3 inches across, and
are borne on fine long stems. If there Is
any fault to be found. It Is perhaps In
the rather pale pink color. This is all the
more apparent If compared with the fine
colorof theflowersof Ethel Crockerlnthe
perfection which these attain on the same
place. Indeed, the latter seem to be per-
fect, though not so very productive.
Mrs. Thomas W.LawsonIs of good habit
of growth, the flowers are of fine color
and very large, but In form the Ethel
Crocker carnation excels. Mrs. George
M. Bradt and Olymiila are a sight not
easily to be forgotten. General Gomez
shows a very free habit of growth and
produces good-sized flowers on fine
stems. T. E.

Trade Notes.
Trade since the new year has been
rather dull, and there is now plenty of
stock for all purposes. This dullnet's has
been especially noticeable in the plant
trade. The demand for colored flowers
hasalso fallen off, but the high mortality
caused by the extreme prevalence of la
grippe has created a steady demand for
whitestock. Retail prices havedecreased
considerably from the hollda.v level, but
wholesale rates are still very high.
Jottings.
Joseph Bennett is showing a lot of
ver.v fine cyclamen in 0-inch lialf pots,
forwhicli herei>orts« very good demand.
The treatment of these iiiaiiti^wnsbrlfll.v
as follows: The seed was son'n early in
Februar.v in a box and kept close to the
light until April, when the plants were
transplanted, 4 Inches apart, on the side
bench of a rose house, in a couple of
inches of a mixture of leaf soil and nshes,
with another Incli of ashes underneath
for drainage, kept glowing in full sun-
light until September, when they were
lifted carefully and potted in theirflower-
ing pots, watered and shaded from direct
sunlight. These made si)londid plants
for Christmas.

Tom McHugh has some magnificent
Gloire de Lorraine begonias in 5-inch
pots. He says: Use nothing but the
shoots springing from the roots for
propagation. Keep the plants fairly
warm, near the light, and on the dry
side. Fred C. Smith, another very suc-
cessful local grower, Indorses this, and
adds, strike the cuttings in June.
It has been thought here that single
poineetUas were the best for commercial
purposes for Christmas trade, being ear-
lier. McHugh says the doubles are just
as early and far more showy. The two
sorts in his greenhouses a few days after
Christmas fully corroborate his opinion.
Club Notesi
This Sebms to be a growing titne.
Old members who had forsaken us for
years are returning to the fold, and new

The wedding of Alfred G. Vanderbilt
and Miss Elsie French, of this city, on the
l-lth inst. has been the absorbing topic
of interest herethe past week. The deco-
rations at the church where thecereniony
was performed and at "Harborview,''
the home of the bride, were executed by
the Rosary Co, of New York, J. H. Troy,
manager. At both places the decora-
tions were quite extensive and carried
out in good taste, not being overdone,
as Is often seen in cases of the kind.
At the house, holly and wild smilax
were used in large quantities in draping
the rooms, hallways, etc., and the prin-
cipal flowers used were orchids, roses
and poinsettias. Thedining room, which,
by tiie way, is one of the finest in New-
port, was given a good share of atten-
tion, large specimen palms being shown
to good advantage with their festooning
of asparagus and orchids. The wedding
brealsfast was served on small circular
tables, in the decoration of which poin-
settias were conspicuous. On the large
circular table about which the bridal
part.v sat the floral decorations were
most artistic, and consisted of rose

Bride roses and large hanging baskets
of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine did effect-
ive service; the latter, never having been
seen in such quantities in a decoration
here before, were quite a feature.

bride was of orchids and ill.v of the val-

The fifteenth anoual meeting of the
State Florists' Association was held in
the horticultural rooms of the Indiana
State Capitol, afternoon and evening,
Tuesday, January 7. Owing to ths meet-
lug of the Agriculture Board of Indiana
at the same time, the exhibits were
crowded in thesmall room, and the meet
ing proper had to be held in another part
of the building. The attendance was
satisfactory. E. G. Hill, W. W. Coles,
Herbert Heller and Dr. Haugh were vis-
itors from outside of Indianapolis. The
exhibits were few, but good. The New
Castle Floral Co. showed a vase of fine
Bridesmaid roses; Stuart & Haugh, a
vase of Avondale carnations; John
Hartje, a vase of Golden Beauty chrys-
anthemum. This latter is a sport of H.
W. Rieman and is a splendid late bloomer.
The stock has all been bought b.y E. G.
Hill & Co. Bauer & Smith showed vases
of America, Jubilee and Mrs. Frances
Joost carnations, all good. H. W. Rie-
man had a table arranged with fine Be-
gonia Glolre de Lorraine, cyclamens, cy-
pripediums and other plants, also Perle
and Meteor roses. Bertermann's table
showed some well-grown poinsettias,
ericas, primroses, azalean, cypripediutus
and cyclamens, the latter extraordinary
plants; this firm also showed a lot of
new Excelsior lily of the valley and a
large vase of assorted carnations. E.G.
Hill & Co. displayed some surprise vases
of the new rose White Lad.v. The
flowers were grand, rathershort in stem,
but the blooms were \ erfect, a full, large,
showy flower, color white, slightly
shaded to ivory. New rose Sunrise is
a dream in colors, an improvement on
.Sunset. The same firm also had a vase of
Liberty and three vases of carnations
which attracted attention. The varieties
of carnations were The Marquis, Elma
and Avondale, the lattercoming near the
ideal flower. Thisvariety received a cer-
tificate, as did rose White Lady.
President Haugh in his address drew
attention to the favorable condition of
the trade, and made some good remarks
as to using only the newest and best ma-
terial In building greenhouses. Secretary
McKeand reported the membership dur-
ing the .year as satisfactory, and that
most of the meetings had been well at-
tended. An invitation from the New
Castle Floral Co. to visit their place on
Februar.v l.^> was accepted. Arrange-
ments will be fully made at the meeting
on February 5, which will be held at E.
A. Nelson's.
The holding of a chrysanthemum show
was freel.v discussed, and a proposition
made by .John Bertermann that with the
assistanceof fourflorist firms, and proba-
bly six merchants of Indianapolis, a
working guarantee committee shall be
formed, to take full charge, pa.v all pre-
miums and expenses and, of course, give
the society privileges in making the pre-
mium list and other details, was pre-
sented. After considerable discussion
this proposition was accepted, and a re-

An invitation from the Columbia Club
was accepted to look through its beauti-
ful new building. After adjournment
this was done. The dining ball, where
some days ago such men as ex-President
Harrison, Senators Fairbanks and Bev-
eridge. Poet Whitcomb Riley, Lew Wal-
lace and others made addresses, was
much admired.
At 6 p. m. most all adjourned to the
English Hotel, where refreshments were
served.
The society, by a full vote, extended
an invitation to the American Carnation
Society to hold its next meeting in In-
dianapolis. E. G. Hill was instructed to
present a personal appeal at the meeting
in Baltimore.
The cut fiowers on view were given
in charge of a committee to be presented

The weather is most unfavorable —
cloudy, with some rain. Many cases of
la grippe are developing.
No wonder violets were scarce in De-
cember. The Weather Bureau's report
is 5 clear days, 11 partly cloudy and 15
cloudy days. W. B.

Not much change in business con-
ditions can be noted. The Winter so far
keeps mild, which always means a good
deal of foggy, cloudy weather, hardly
favorable for best results in the cultiva-
tion of flowers. American Beauty are
now scarcer and the quality not so good.
No advance in prices from those of last
week is noted. Bride is now of good
quality. Bridesmaid only fair. Some
good Meteor are in the market, with
lots below par.
Carnations are in big supply ; stock is
good and gets cleared off fairly well.
Lily of the valley is plentiful and good.
Paper White narcissus and Roman
hyacinths are abundant, and prices rule
low. Callas are scarce. The supply of
Harrisii is increasing, and is sufficient
for the demand. Some white lilac and
double daffodils are appearing; also a
few freesias, the latter selling well at $3
and $4.

The greenhouse and rabbitry of
T. F. Keenan, of 6122 Wentworth

night last, who stole 50 Belgian hares,
valued by the owner at $850. When the
burglars departed tfie.v left the door
open, and some tramp dogs entered and
destroyed 20 of the remaining animals
before they were frightened away by the
appearance of Mr. Keenan.

Matters floral are running even and un-
eventful at present. Weather that inclined
to be dark, as a rule, and decidedly mild
and unseasonable now exists. It somewhat
inclined to reduce the quantity of bloom
again, which is not over plentiful. A very
fair call for funeral flowers has been made
on some days lately, and with some recent
moderate functious trade has some life
about it. S. A. Anderson, on Wednesday
of last week, did a pretty wedding decora-
tion, and Palmer had a moderate affair at
Irving, a lake shore suburb, on Tuesday
this » eek.
H. J. Wise, grower. East Aurora, last

Trade irotea.
Elualness has been tety quiet here
toi- a Week past, dile largely to the
very disagreeable weather experienced.
A few dluners and dancing parties are
going on, but the floral part of the deco-
rations has not been very heavy. The
wholesalers, however, have been kept
very busy, mostly with shipping business.
The market is in good condition, with
a noticeable scarcity in roses, especially
colored ones. Bridesmaid have been eell-
iug very well, but there are very small
cuts from all the rose growers just now.
So. 1 stock brings $16 per 100, with
fancies at $20, and smaller grades any-
where from $i to $12.50. Bride, though
short, do not sell quite so readily, but
the prices hold almost equal, grade for
grade, with those for Bridesmaid. The
supply of American Beauty, too, has
shortened up, more especially in the
larger grades; theT do pretty well at
about last week's figures. The shorter
grades are more plentiful, but are still
far from being abundant. Meteor are in
lair supply, but Liberty are still short, as
are Mrs. Pierpont Morgan.
Carnations are becoming more plenti-
ful, but move fairly well. Best qualit.v of
ordinary varieties averages $2 per 100,
while tor the newer sorts $2. .50 and $3
are ruling figures, extra stock and fancies
going to $.S..50 and $4 per 100.
Paper White narcissus and Roman hya-
clnthscontlnuevery plentiful, and though
many are disposed of, there is usually a
large surplus. Trumpets and daffodils
are In fair supply and sell well, cleaning
up daily at from $2 to $4 per 100. Tu-
lips are coming in in greater variety, but
they are still short-stemmed, and do not
move very fast, though the light supply
generally cleans up at an average of $2
per 100. Freesia is a little more plenti-
ful, but the stock arriving Is not yetsufll-
cient to meet the demand.

ling, of Trenton, N. J., (H. T.Clinkaberry,

num and variety boxalli, for which a

Mrs. W. H. Elliott, wife of our well-
tnowD grower, met with a painful acci-
dent on .Sunday last at Natick, where
she and her husband had been visiting.
On returning Mrs. Elliott tripped ovep
a wire at a railroad track and fell, strik-
ing her head on the rail, inflicting a pain-
ful cut just above the e.ve. At present
writing Mrs. Elliott was much improved,
and is expected to be able to sit up this
week. F. J. N.

January 15 the first meeting of the
year ot the Gardeners and Florists' As-
sociation took place. The meeting was
an open one.
The annual meeting ot the Horticul-
tural Society was held Wednesday last.
The secretary -treasurer reported that
the society was in debt about $26, and
some of the members rather sharply crit-
icized the Board of Directors for this
state ot affaire; but the board found sev-
eral warm defenders and the report was
adopted with only one dissenting voice.
The ofBcerselected were: President, Thos.
Manton ; first vice-president, E. Cop-
ping; second vice-president, Mr. Mc-
Hardy : directors, Geo. Mills, Dr. Orr,
Mr. Slater, H. Simmers, Mr. Book, Mr.
Tyrrell, Mr. McPherson Ross and Mr. E.
Collins. Mr. Tyrrell and Dr. Orr were
elected delegatesto the Industrial Exhi-
bition, and E. Uttley and E. Cooper, au-
ditors tor the year. C. E. Chambers was
reelected secretary-treasurer.
The election of councilor tor York
Township was a very close one. F. C.
Miller, of Bracondale, now stands
elected. T. M.

Business Items.
Up to the present time the florists'
trade lor the new century has been fairly
good, but perhaps not up to expectation
in some cases. Stock after the holidays
was scarce and rather high priced, but at
present it is more plentiful, commanding
good figures. Boses are doing nicely, being
not too abundant. American Beauty are
in good demand; Meteor and Liberty also
go well.
Carnations are coming in freely and in
fine shape; prices are from $2 up per If 0.
Roman hyacinths and Paper White nar-
cissus are too plentiful. Of tulips, Pros-
erpine is the on y one to be seen, and being
short stemmed it does not sell well, except
ing in pots or pans. Violets are abundant
and are still in good demand at fair jjrices.
The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. handle some
very fine ones, both double a' d single.
The mild weat her favors plant trade con-
siderably; palms and ferns sell well; fern
pans particularly have been in great de-
mand all Winter.
Club News.
After trying for several months to
get a quorum together, the Florists' Club
has at last succeeded and the January
meeting was quite a success. A lively dis-
cussion took place on roses, particularly
about the variety Liberty, of which Mr.
Burki spoke very highly and gave lots ot
information regarding its treatment. Be-
ing asked which of the two roses. Liberty
or Meteor, was the better commercially,
he thought there was very little difference,
and we need them both. Liberty was not
as prolific, but the blooms b' ought double
the price of those of Meteor. The latter
variety is good almost all through the year,

Market Items.
Owing to considerable cloudy
weather in the early part of the week,
receipts of stock lightened up very mater-
ially; in con8e<iueuce thedemandandeup-
ply have kept about equal. Funeral orders
have made business pretty steady, and
prices are firm on everything but single
violets. A large crop of these is now in,
and values have gone down to 60c. per
100. The low price sells the flowers,
however, and very few are going to
waste. Roses are a little scarce, the best
bringing as high as 8c., do wn to 4c. for the
commonest. Very few American Beauty
are in the market. The supply of carna-
tions is fully equal to the call; the best
bring 4c., medium grades 2c., and even
lees in large lots. Bulbous stock is plen-
tiful and cheap.
Notes.
Fred H. Foster, a florist at Eighth
and Olive Streets, has opened a saloon
on Garrison Avenue and Chestnut Street.
It is said he will probably quit the flo-
rist's business later.
E. W. Engelbert, formerly with Vaug-
han's Seed Store, has connected himself
with the Plant Seed Co. of this city.
John M. Hudson, who recently opened
up a store at 1220 Olive Street, has given
it up, and is now lying very ill with an
attack of Brlght's disease.
A floral store on Grand, near Finney
Avenue, going under the name of the
Vale of Cashmere Co., has been closed,
and fixtures offered for sale.
Frank M. Ellis, our latest wholesale
man. Is now permanently located at
1316 Pine Street. He has an elegant
large store and plenty of ice-box room,
and is now fully prepared to meet the
demands of his rapidly increasing bus-
iness.
Club Meeting— A Carnation Show.
The regular monthly club meeting
took place on January 10. The magnet
that drew out the largest crowd in a
long time was the annual carnation ex-
hibit. Thanks to the outside firms men-
tioned and our local growers, we had a
flnedisplay of that popular flower, which
was fully appreciated by all present.
Looking over the exhibits in a general
way, no doubt a vase of 60 Mrs. Thomas
W. Lawson was by tar the most attract-
ive. This was shown by the Chicago
Carnation Co., and was pronounced by
the committee of judges the flnestvaeeof
carnations ever seen in this city. This
committee consisted of H. G. Ude, J. W.
Dunford and F. J. Fillmore, and their
report on the various kinds was as fol-
lows: To the exhibit of W. J. & M. S.
Vesey, which consisted of some extra
well -grown stock of Mrs. George M.
Bradt, Ethel Crocker, Mrs. T. W. Law-
son, G. H. Crane and Glacier, special
mention.
Exhibit of Norway by H. Weber & Son,
Oakland, Md., a certificate of merit. This
variety is a very fine white, with all the
good qualities; also for Egypt, a very
dark and fragrant kind, an improvement
on Maceo. Fred Dorner & Sons Co.
showed Lorna, an extra good white, and
received a certificate of merit. The firm
also displayed vases of Morning Glory
and a new variety called Admiral Cer-
vera, which were much admired. In the
Chicago Carnation Co.'s display we
think the new one, named Bon Homme
Richard, was the best; it is a good
white, with an almost abnormal growth
of stem. It was awarded a certificate of
merit, as was .Mrs. Higinbotham. No. 78
was declared an improvement on Mrs.
George M. Bradt, and Sunbeam worthy
of mention. Chicot was mentioned as a
good white, and Mrs. J. J. Shed a very
promising red. The exhibit of this com-
pany was a splendid one, and James
Hartshorne gave the staging his per-
sonal attention, besides supplying many
interesting points on carnations to his
willing listeners. J. L. Dillon, Blooms-
burg, showed Queen Louise, but it was
considered no improvement on White
Cloud. The pink variety staged by
Crabb & Hunter, called Irene, was
thought to be no better than .\rgyle.
A vote of thanks was extended the ex-
hibitors for their generous and instruc-
itlve displays.
The prizes of $5, |.3 and $2 offered by
the club for the best 50 cnrnatlons
brought out five entries. The first prize
was awarded to John Steldel for a very
fine mixed vase. Fred Amman was
second, and Mr. Emmons, of Belleville,
with a vase of very fine White Cloud,
third. Messrs. Hartshorne, Ude and
Ellis were the judges.
Dr. Haistead, of Belleville, read a very
good paper on " New Carnations from a

Commercial Standpoint," finishing with
an original poem on the flower, which
was well received. Our former president
then read his essay on "How to Grow
Perle Roses." In this paper he very
clearly stated all that seemed necessary
to be known In order to grow this rose
as well as he does. His flowers have the
reputation of being the best in the mar-
l£et. A vote of thanks was extended the
essayists.
The balance of the evening was taken
up with various matters, among them
the question as to whether we will give
a chrysanthemum show next Fail. There
seems a disposition on the part of some
to try it again, though many favor giv-
ing up the aflair. The matter was laid
over until next meeting. F. C. Weber
and J. J. Beneke are booked for essays
at the next meeting. The members who
tail to attend these gatherings are miss-
ing good things. C. C. S.

Trade Notes.
There is still quite a lively trade
doingin the retailflower stores and there
is an unusually large demand lor funeral
work, and this, with many decorations
that are In hand, use up the greater part
of the cut flower stock offered by the
growers. Wholesale dealers report a
good movement in almost all kinds of
cut flowers. Roman hyacinths seem to
he about the only stock that is too
abundant, and present holdings are
large, both with growers and store-
keepers.
Roses are quoted at $3 to $8 per 1 00;
a few American Beauty are coming in
and bring 10c. to 15c. for ahort-stemmed
flowers and 25c. to .S5c. for the best.
Carnations, ordinary varieties, realize
$1.50 and $2; extra stock, $3 and $i.
Roman hyacinths bring $1.50 to $3, ac-
cording to quality. Paper White narcis-
sus go at about ?3. Tulips have been
coming in for some time, but are still
short in stem, and do not bring over $2
and $3 per 100. Callas fetch 10c. per
bloom and are offered in limited quan-
tities.
Notes.
F. M. Smith, of Smith & Fetters,
left the city on Monday evening for (Chi-
cago, where he will spend the balance of
the week.
Fire completely destroyed the boiler
shed connected with the greenhouses re-
cently erected by Reep Bros., at Coe
Ridge, Ohio, on the night of January 1.
The greenhouses were also badly dam-
aged and the entire stock practically
destroyed ; what did not suffer from
smoke was killed by frost, as the fire oc-
curred on one of the coldest nights we
have had this Winter. Realizing the un-
fortunate circuuistanies in which this
new firm has been left by the almost
total destruction of their establishment,
many of the local florists arealdlngtheni
in every way possible. A sulmi'iiption
list is now in circulation, and from the
liberal money subscriptions alread.v made
we believe the efforts of the tradcHmen
here will go a long way toward helping
the firm out of its present dlflioultles.
Much credit is due the neighbors of
Messrs. Reep for their prompt action in
flghting the fire, and their quick work In
erecting a temporary boiler shed and
reglazing the burned bouses.

On Saturday last we had the heaviest
SDOwfall of the year, hut as the weather
sincp has been bright itis all right. New
Year's trade was away ahead of that of
former years and cleared out all classes of
stock.
Business is fair, but needs the presence
of Parliament to start it up.
Flowers are now plentiful. R. Wright
has been cutting some good flowers of
Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson and The Mar-
quis carnations. Carnation plants are
good all around. The violet crop seems
to be in with all of us. Roses are none
too abundant. Speikingof carnations,
Evelina, which has given a great crop up
to the present and promised to go
through the season in healthy shape,
seems to be preparing for a collapse.
Flora Hill hardly holds its own this year,
not comparing with White Cloud and
Glacier. E.

Free Seed Distribution.— In a com-
munication to the Evening Post, Fred'k
W. Kelsey says:
"The Injury to the seed merchants and
those directly engaged in the seed indus-
try is not by any means the most objec-
tionable feature of this free distribution,
but rather the underlying principle, and,
in a free government, the always Inimi-
cal condition of taxing the many for the
benefit of the comparatively few. It is
special legislation pure and simple. It
encourages an evergrowing tendency to
use the public treasury for personal and
political ends. The system favors gov-
ernmental ' paternalism ' and appeals
directly to the unpatriotic impulse of
seeking special favors through legisla-
tion at public expense. An enlightened
public sentiment must sooner or later
dispose of thisphaseof class legislation."
Editor Florists^ Exchange:
In your Issue of January 13, I note an
article regarding the " Free Seed Distri-
bution," and, if you will allow me the
space, I should like to continue the dis-
cussion, which may possibly lead to some
good results.
I do not understand why the seedsmen
of this country do not meet and form
some line of action to resist the dih^trlbu-
tion of free seeds. As a class of merch-
ants, we contribute as largely for taxes,
duties, revenues, freight, express, sala-
ries, telegrams and postage as almost
any other Hue of business in this country,
and that we should be singled out to be
preyed upon by our own government,
which we are all paying taxes to sup-
port, without making a vigorous pro-
test, seems ridiculous.
Let the seed companies of the United
.States agreee not to buy, sell, or trade
in any manner with any man who con-
tracts, sells to, or bids on a contract for
the Free Distribution of Seeds. Let them

This would call the attention of the
people in so forcible a manner that we
should, at least, receive justice, and it
might bring about results that would be
highly beneficial to the trade in general.
In all kinds of business or branches of
trade there should be a " war committee"
and a "peace committee." We have ex-
hausted our peaceful means and it is now
time for us to get up and support a good
"war committee" on this matter, and
see to it that any man or company that
sells to or contracts with the Govern-
ment for any of its supplies, should be
given to understand that he does so at
the peril of losing every dollar's worth
of trade he now gets from the seed
merchants. If other lines of business
were encroached upon in like manner,
they would have adopted similar tactics
as those here suggested long ago.

European Notes.
The attempt on the part of the Weather
Bureau to scare us with a threat of a
prolonged and severe Winter turns out
to have been only a game of bluff. With-
in four days the supply was exhausted,
and we were back in the damp and dirty
mugglness once more.
Although it was very severe while it
lasted, and the winds were sufficiently
keen to cripple any weaklings in our
plantations, a plentiful fall of snow
effectually sheltered thesmalller seedlings,
which are our chief concern. It ie not
likely that much damage has been done.
Eekford is again to the fore with his
novelties in Giant sweet peas for 1901.
They are Coccinea, cerise self; Hon. Mrs.
E. Kenyon, giant primrose, as large
again as Mrs. Eekford and a deeper color;
Miss Willmott, deep orange pink; George
Gordon, crimson and rosy purple; Lady
M. Ormesby Gore, pale buff tinted pink.
Eekford appears to be getting quite
American in his ideas, as in all the de-
scriptions a strong point is made of the
long, stout stems and giant flowers.
The price, 5 francs ( $1.25 ) the set, with a
packet of Sadie Burpee thrown in, is a very
significant way of carrying out the deter-
mination " to place the newest introduc-
tions within the reach of every one."
The cheap sneer of last year aimed at
foreign-grown seed is again repeated, as
18 also the emphatic declaration that
" the trade are not supplied." The trade
does not appear to be much the worse for
it at present. Judging by the lengthy list
of varieties which still appears in all the
catalogues that have as yet been issued,
the conference has signally failed to ac-
complish one of the main objects for
which it was held. European Seeds.

Nursery Stock for Canada. — An
order In council has been passed that ex-
emptions from the San Jos6 scale act are
authorized for nursery stock to be entered
only at St. John, N. B., St. Johns, Que.,
Niagara Falls, Windsor and Winnipeg,
between March 15 and May 15 and Oc-
tober 7 to December 7, and at Vancouver
from October 13 to March 15. All ship-
ments made except in accordance with
the above wili be entirely at the risk of
owners or shippers, and the packages
must be so addressed as to enter at one
of the ports mentioned above. The route
by which they will be shipped must also
be clearly stated on each package. As it
is well known that well-matured and
thoroughly dormant nursery stock may
be safely treated, but that there is dan-
ger of serious injury to the trees if fumi-
gated in the Autumn before the buds are
thoroughly dormant, or in the Spring
after the buds have begun to unfold, all
stock which when received is immature
or too far advanced for safe treatment
will be refused entry and held at the
shipper's risk.
Articles of incorporation of the Mutual
Horticultural Insurance Association of
Iowa, were filed for record with the
county recorder January 12. The pur-
pose of the company is to insure fruit
trees, vines and plants against loss from
hail and wind. The directors and incor-
porators are P. L. Fowler, W.S. Tedrick,
W. S. Richards, A. M. Parker and W. F.
Gormley of Des Moines.
The Jewell Nursery Co. of Lake City,
Minn., founded by Dr. P. A. Jewell in
1868 on ten acres of land, and with one
horse and a cultivator, is now the largest
concern of the kind in the Northwest. J.
M. Underwood, Dr. Jewell's foreman. Is
now president of the company. The
establishment has entirely rebuilt its
greenhouses, and they now have about
6,000 feet of glass devoted to palms,
ferns, begonias, roses, carnations and
other popular plants, for which there is
an increasing demand. Besides this, a
large amount of space is devoted to the
propagation of bedding plants for lawns.
Government statistics show that the
country people are continually gravitat-
ting toward the cities. Nurserymen, it
seems, find attractions there also, many
of them having offices in the center of
large cities. Philadelphia already has
several of them, and another is to be
added, It being announced that Hoopes
Bros. & Thomas are to open an office
in the Stephen Girard Building, under
the management of Charles L. Cattell.
For many years Mr. Cattell was in a
similar position in this city under the
well-known firm of R. G. Chase & Co.
Berry-Bearing Trees and Shrubs. —
In Spring and Summer, when there are
many trees and shrubs in flower, those
displaying bright-colored berries are but
little sought for. But in late Fall, when
hardly a tree or shrub is In blossom, the
case is reversed, and then it is we have
to rely on the berries to give the attrac-
tion the flowers afforded earlier. My pur-
pose now is to name such subjects as dis-
play their berries as the very last thing
in Autumn, omitting those whose dis-
play is over. In this vicinity those I am
about to name were in full display in De-
cember, In spite of some severe freezings,
and in January, when these notes were
written, quite a number of the plants
were in fair display. The list is as fol-
lows: Cornus florida and varieties, Kho-
tinia villosa, Pyrus americana, Pyrus
Toringo, Berberis Thunbergii, Callicarpa
purpurea, Crataegus cordata, Co toneaster
in variety, Crataegus pyracantha,El!Eag-
nus umbellata, euonymus in variety,
particularly Sieboldianus, Prlnos verticil-
latus, (^yrus arbutifolia and varetiies,
Rhamnus caroliniensis, Rosa rugosa, R.
villosa, R. Carolina and H. luclda, Sym-
phoricarpus vulgaris and S. racemosus,
Lycium chineuse, Ceiastrus scandens and
other species. These occur to me as I
write, and doubtless thereareothers, but,
as already stated, I do not include those
whose display is past, such, for instance,
as the English hawthorn and varieties,
and our own lovely species, Crataegus
coccinea. Though all the plants enumer-
ated la the list may be relied on, there
are a few particularly desirable ones, of
which I would like to say a few more
words. Rhotinia villosa is not a com-
mon shrub. I say shrub, as it makes a
bush shape, though growing to a tree
size, almost. Besides the abundant
bright red berries of Fall, there are the
clusters of white flowersin Spring, which
are of great beauty. Ela^agnus umbellata
is not well known. Its wood is a good
deal like that of the better-known E.
longipes, but it ripens its berries the last
thing in October. They are of a light
salmon color, and often are so thickly
set along the stem as to cause the
branches to bend toward the ground.
Crataegus cordata is a native, and of the
many species I am familiar with, this
both flowers and ripens its fruit the last.
The beautiful clusters of scarlet fruit are
in perfection in early November. The
various cotoneasters, such favorites in
Europe, are rarely seen here. Why, I do
not know. C. obtusa,C. SImonsii and C.
Wheeleri, which I have tiled, are quite
hardy, and doubtless C. microphylla and
other old favorites would be also.
The same may be said of the grand old
pyracantha thorn, Crataegus pyracantha.
The large orange-red berries beautify it
well into Winter, and cold does not hurt
it.
More could be said in eulogy of other
subjects, but this must suffice for the
present. By planting a selection from
the list given, these would be an attrac-
tion on the lawn when positively not
a flower could be had on tree or shrub.
Shade in Winter for Evergreens.—
It is timely now to revert to the sub-
ject of shadiag evergreens from the
sun in Winter, especially those of a
broad-leaved nature, as now that
January is here, the time approaches
when injury, it any, is sustained. Al-
ready we have had the mercury as low
as 14 degrees twice, but there is not a
trace of injury on Euonymus japonicus.
Magnolia grandiflora and other ever-
greens of like nature. But when the days
lengthen, the sun getting higher and
stronger, those same evergreens will
surely show marked injury should the
mercury fall as low. The bright light
causes transpiration to go on more rap-
idly than the foliage can stand, and in-
jury results. Within a stone's throw of
where I write there is a very flue speci-
men of the Magnolia grandiflora, about
15 feet high and 25 feet circumference of
branches. It stands entirely alone and
has been unprotected in any way for
many years. The warm side — viz., the
southern — is always more or less hurt
every Winter — that is, the foliage becomes
badly "scorched;" the east and west
sides to some extent; the cold side, the
north, not at all or very slightly, unless
an unusually severe Winter sets in.
Neither cold weather nor high winds
hurt this evergreen magnolia here; it is
the sunlight, always. Keep the plant
in darkness and it is all right.
I have had outdoors for two years,
planted near my house, the English
laurel, Cerasus lauro cerasus, and near
my fence, Cerasus lusltanlcus and Laurus
nohilis, none of which was protected
more than the liouse or the fence gave it,
excepting that I placed a board or two
in front of all of them to keep the sun
from them. Not a leaf was hurt, but
dogs killed the Portugal laurel for me
during the Summer.
I would strongly urge the readers of
The Florists' Exchange who have such
evergreens as mentioned which have
heretofore been injured in Winter to try
shading the sunny side. This and keep-
ing the soil unfrozen give more satisfac-
tory results in the preservation of ever-
greens of all kinds than anything else I
know of.
Pruning Shrubs. — The nurseryman
who prunes his shrubs which are for sale
nas but in mind the making of them into
shapely specimens. He does not consider
the flowering part at all, hence prunes
in Winter usually, as the shoots which
are cut away make excellent cuttings.
If he has a sample ground or, better, a
home ground, surrounding his dwelling,
he prunes the shrubs which may be there
with an eye to their flowering, and in
this case does very little pruning in Win-
ter. The principlesof pruning haveoften
been reverted to, I am aware, and to
man.v of your readers are fully under-
stood. But young men are coming Into
the horticultural fold all the time and
new names are being added to the sub-
scirptlon list of The Florists' Exchange,
and to these folks a few hints on the
proper way to prune shrubs will likely
be valuable.
In the vicinity of all large cities are a
class of menknownas jobbing gardeners,
on whose shoulders fall the lot of trim-
ming shrubs in small gardens. Many of
these men are excellent tree planters,
their long experience making them com-
petent for such work, but in the matter
of pruning shrubs properly they know
but little. This statement is made after
observing for a number of years the gar-
dens referred to after these men have fin-
ished their work, which is usually about
■Spring. The average idea is that the
ball shape is the proper one to adopt,
though occasionally an original char-
acter will appear among the workmen
who shears the topsflatand broad, leav-
ing the shrub somewhat of the shape of
an inverted cone. But it is time to say
that a properly pruned shrub is one
showing a large number of last year's
shoots on it, as it is to these shoots we
look for flowers. Any system of pruning
which takes from a shrub a largenumber
of these shoots is wrong. Keeping this
in mind, hardly a better time for pruning
exists than immediately after flowering
in Spring. Cut out old shoots then, and
in other wa.ys cut back to cause a quan-
tity of young shoots to be made. 'There
is no harm in pruning these later, in a
slight degree, to shapen the shrubs, and
perhaps to thin some out. and this work
can be done any time alter growth for
the season is over. It is early to mention
Spring pruning, but it is made now more
to prevent improper Winterpruning than
for any other reason, and while doing
this, it seemed in order to say when and
how it should be done.

Ag'ain thie has proven the most prolific and profitable
variety we ever grpw, giving- us su far fully 76 per cent,
more bloom than Ethel Crocker and eight other vari-
eties under the same conditions. On some 2[K10 plants
not a single split calyx, where Crocker and some others
have split badly. Flowers as large as Scott, very fra-
grant; a fine shade of light rose-pink. After five years'
trial it hEis proved the best all-around variety we have ever grown. Have discarded Scott.

NORWAY.
THE QUEEN OF WHITE CAR-
NATIONS. A seedling of Mrs.
Fisher, now in its fifth year.
During this time it has been the most
satisfactory white we have ever grown.
Notwithstanding its large size, it is a
profuse bloomer. Its keeping qualities
are unsurpassed. Its length and strength
of stem are little short of perfect. It
possesses an extraordinarily strong con-
stitution, is very free and rapid in growth
and possesses a delicious odor. It has
the requirements of a first-class money-
making commercial carnation, and as
such we are pleased to recommend it to
every grower. It is a good thing, which
is worth your while to push along. It is
the white you have been looking for all
these years. Our order book is now
open. Stock is apt to be exhausted
before close of the season.
EGYPT.
A RICH SCARLET CRIMSON. We
have at last the pleasure to an-
nounce to the trade that we have
a dark carnation which possesses the
important points in which all other crim-
sons up to date have been lacking, viz.,
long, strong stems, excellent keeping
qualities and an exquisite spicy odor. It
also possesses an extra strong, vigorous
constitution, and is a good producer.
Can be had in good flower by November
ist to 15th. When well established
will average three inches in diameter.
Commands the highest price on the
market. Its color, which is similar to
General Jacq. rose, makes it very
popular with flower buyers. Every
grower will need it. Place your order
at once. Crimson carnations are selling
better every year.
Price of the above two narietles, $1.50 per doz,; $10.00 per 100 ; $75.00 per 1000.
DELIVERY FEBRUARY 15th.
GENEVIEVE LORD.
IN the short space of one season Genevieve Lord has won her way to the front in
a manner most pleasing. It has demonstrated our every claim for it, and
many growers say more. We grew Wm. Scott in the heyday of its prime,
I and can conscientiously say that it never equaled Genevieve Lord. We realize
that this is a strong statement, but a trial under favorable circumstances will
convince the most skeptical. In a word, it is the greatest commercial pink carnation
ever offered. Rely on Genevieve Lord for the bulk of your pink carnations; others
for variety's sake. Our stock is gilt-edged and ready now. If you haven't room
I now, make sure of your stock and order at once, to be shipped any time you say.
Price, $5.00 per 100; $40.00 per 1000.

Japanese Fern Bails.
Editor Florists' Exchange;
We read a remark in the last week's
Isaue ot your papei- regarding Japanese
tern balls arriving in more or less broken
condition. As ttiis might give a wrong
impression to growers who have never
handled them before, we would like to
state that the fern balls you probably
refer to are uot damaged at all, but the
condition they are in is only natural.
They have been grown one or two years
already in Japan. Some of the old roots
die off and this might leave a bare spot.
Nevertheless these well estabhshed balls
give much more satisfaction than newly
made ones, as they make moreand longer
fronds than do those of the first year.
The fern balls are so new in the market
that growers who have not handled
them before might be afraid they would
not turn out well; but growers with ex-
perience will always prefer the established
fern balls, even it they are not so nicely
shaped and evenly made up as new ones.
It should be recommended to private
people to keep these ferns well watered
during the hot and dry Summer months,
and not expose them too much to the
hot sun. They should be soaked thor-
oughly twice a week and the leaves
watered every morning. In the Fall,
when these leaves turn brown, less water
is required; but care should betaken
tnat the rootsdo notdry out altogether.
In Japan, where the fern balls are kept
mostly outside in shady places, nnder
trees, etc., they always keep nice and
green without any particular care, as
the great humidity in the air prevents
them getting too dry. We think these
few remarks would be welcome to some
ot your readers who would like to give
the plants in question a trial.

Ladies' Nlglit at the Florists' Club.
The fourth annual" Ladies' Night,"
held on Wednesday evening, was a great
success. Upward of 200 were present
and a very pleasant evening was spent.
Many familiar faces of active members
were missed. The associate members at-
tended in numbers, (iames commenced
at 8:30 p. m.; at 10 p. m. refreshments
wereserved. A large number of stewards
did the waiting on the ladies, and al-
though one steward got half a pound ot
butter instead of a block of ice cream,
and another a cake of soap, the venture
was voted a success. The bowling was
In charge of Chas. Eimerman, Dr. Wen-
dell Reber and George C. Watson, the
contestants being allowed nine balls, a
full frame for each ball. First prize was
won by Miss Nicholson; second by Mrs.
Cummings; third by Miss Gardner, and
the booby by Mrs. Patterson. The
shuffleboard games were in charge of
Uobert Kilt and Daniel V. Allen. The
game was eight points. The first prize
was won by Miss Kiuggold; second by
Miss Stuart; third by Mrs. Haupt, and
the booby by Mrs. Allen. The prizes
were presented at 11:30 ii. m. by ex-
Mayor William B. Smith in his usual
felicitous manner.
Trade Notes.
There has not been any material
change in business the past week. All
the stores appeared to have a good
amount of work on hand. Balls and ban-
quets are very numerous, keeping the dec-
orators busy. Hugh Graham had a very
unique decoration at the (Jnion League
on Wednesday, the occasion being the
annual dinner of the Kettle Club, which
Is iu reality the Hod and Gun Club of the
league. The table was oval. The cen-
ter, being hollow, was arranged to rep-
resent a lake, the banks made up of
flowers and foliage. In which small elec-
tric lights were interspersed. The rest
ot the table was covered with flowers
and foliage, through which were scat-
tered all kinds of real game— wild duck,
pheasants, grouse and quail, also a few
shotguns. Thechandelier was decorated
with wild smilas, out of which projected
flshing rods and lines. Hanging from
the chandelier were all kinds ot real flsh.
The decoration was a very diflicult one,
but was carried out with correct effect.

H. Bayersdorfer & Co. have never been
busier in January than this year, the
reason being the numerous orders for
goods pertaining to funeral work. The
wheat-sheaf department has been work-

lor this class of goods. New things seen
at this establishment are waterproof
crepe paper and wheat sheaves made up

Trade Notes.
Retail florists are quite busy with
funeral orders, but aside from this there
is not much doing. Occasional orders
for decorations for society affairs may be
noted, and a liberal transient trade in
cut flowers as well. Stock seems to be
pretty well picked up, especially in the
better grades, and a shortage in some
kinds of flowers is quite noticeable.
Prices are quite as firm as they have been
for some time, and growers do not have
any difliculty in placing the bulk of their
product.
Roses show a slight advance in price,
particularly theextra grades, which now
bring as high as$12and $12.50 per 100.
The short-stemmed stock holds at pre-
vious quotations, viz., $3 and J4. Carna-
tions show no change, except that the
quantities coming in are smaller than a
week ago. This is undoubtedly due to
the cloudy weather of the past few days.
American Beauty roses are in short
supply and local offerings are very
limited.
Tulips are becoming more plentiful,
and some very flne blooms, in both pink
and yellow flowers, are seen. Growers
realize $3 per 100 for the best stock.
Valley is pretty closely used up, and pres-
ent stocks are small; funeral and wed-
ding work uses up about all that local
growers offer.
Bate Bros, are bringing in the first of a
new crop of violets; these bring $1 per
100.
J. .\I. Gasser Co. displayed their first
cut ot lilac on Wednedsay; this stock
brings 50c. per spray at retail.
News Notes.
S. N. Pentecost has just completed
two new greenhouses, each 26 x 120 feet,
and a lean-to for propagating purposes
11 X 74 feet, all heated by steam, a tubu-
lar boiler being used. As soon as the
weather permits, Mr. Pentecost expects
to remodel and remove the old i-ange of
houses and connect them with the two
large ones just built.

la grippe.
At the annual meeting of the Rhode
Island Horticultural Society the follow-
ing officers were elected: President, J. E.
C. Farnham; vice-presidents, R. H. 1.
Goddard, Royal C. Tatt, Joseph D. Fltts;
secretary and treasurer, (Jharles W.
Smitli; librarian, Christopher R.Drowne;
botanist, Prof. W. Whitman Bailey.
Our twentieth-century essayists, espe-
cially those dealing with carnations, seem
to be afflicted with malady Poetria dog-
gereiiana. We beg to call the serious at-
tention of our plant doctors to this fact.
A preventive against the spread of the
trouble is a desideratum; otherwise the
florist poet laureate's occupation, like
Othello's, Is gone.
The Floral Exchange intend sending a
box of Queen of Edgely roses to the exhi-
bition of the Royal Horticultural So-
ciety in London, February 12 next, hav-
ing received a request from England to
do so. The firm's gift to the late Queen
has aroused a great deal of interest in
England, and the people there are desir-
ous of seeing the new rose.
In next weelj's issue we shall begin the
publication of a series of articles by Mr.
F. Schuyler Mathews, on the subject of
"The Question of Color Relative to
Flowers." The object of Mr. Mathews
will be to show the need of a recognized
authoritative color standard for use by
catalogue makers and others, and so do
away with the confusion consequent
upon the prevalent haphazard de-
scriptions of colors of flowers which
only lead to contusion and disappoint-
ment. The articles in question will be
suitably illustrated by diagrams; they
will name the colors now attached to va-
rious flowers that should be abolished,
and how the building up of a nomencla-
ture founded on the simple range of pris-
matic color may be effected.
A writer in the Gardeners' Chronicle
says of the great Parisian market,
" Halles Centrales," thatitdoes not com-
pare with Covent Garden, London. The
general aspect of the passageways and
principal thoroughfares is one of super-
fluous dirtiness, and would not be toler-
ated anywhere in London. The present
market was designed by Baltard, and car-
ried out under his direction from 1854 to
1868 at acost of 12,000,000 francs over
and above the cost of 249 houses pulled
down to make room for it, which
amounted to 27,000,000 francs. Each
of the ten pavilions is 120 x 100 feet and
contains 250 stalls, for each of which a
charge of about a franc per day is paid
to the city. On the last day of December,
1900, the "Halles" received 5,320 bas-
kets of flowers— the weight of each bas-
ket varying from 3 to 5 kilogrammes, a
kilogramme being equal to about 2%
pounds. France herself supplied the lion's
share of the cut flowers of the "Halles
Centrales," although large consign-
ments arrive from Italy, Holland and
Belgium.
The Revue Hortlcole of .Tanuary 1,
gives a colored picture of Rosa Wlchurai-
ana rubra, the result of a cross from
Rosa Wichuralana by Crimson Rambler.
Seeds taken from the new variety have,
it is said, reproduced the varietal charac-
ters almost exactly.
A Tribute to Frederick L. Olmsted.
The Boston Park Commission, in giv-
ing the name of Olmsted Park to a large
portion of the park system of that city,
has paid a high tribute to Frederick L.
Olmsted, America's most foremost land
scape artist. Boston owes a special debt
of gratitude to Mr. Olmsted, who laid
out and had much to do with the parks
which surround the city and has given
Boston a park system which Is unrivaled
in this country.
Mr. Olmsted's work has by no means
been confined to Boston. He first came
into prominence in 1856, when Central
Park in New York was projected, and he
planned and laid out that attractive area
in the great city. His work there at-
tracted great attention, and he was in-
duced to undertake to provide Brooklyn
with Prospect Park, one of his best ex-
amples of a purely natural park. Alter
the war he made designs which were
later carried out in constructing Golden
Gate Park in San Francisco. He was
later supervising architect of Fairmount
Park in Philadelphia, and South Park
in Chicago, and In 1875 began the laying
out of Boston's park system. He has
also planned the parks of Buffalo, Tren-
ton, Louisville, Wilmington, Del., Roches-
ter, N. Y., Bridgeport, Conn., and Mon-
treal; the State reservation at Niagara
Falls, the grounds of Leiand Stanford
University at Palo Alto,Cal., the Capitol
grounds at Washington and the magnifi-
cent estate of Mr. George W. Vanderbilt
at Biltmore, N. C, and has been super-
vising or consulting architectfor the lay-
ing out of many private estates. He
took the bare stretch of lake front at
Chicago and developed it into the beau-
tiful World's Fair grounds, placing all
the buildings. His designs contributed
materially to the success of the fair and
much to its architectural beauty.
The Boston Herald, commenting on
the action of the Park Commission and
Mr. Olmsted's work, says; "Mr. Fred-
erick Law Olmsted, who has thus been
given one of the mostenduring and most
beautiful of monuments In the shape of
one of his own creations, will take rank
as one of the great figures In the history
of his country."
To Incorporate the S. A. F. 0. H.

occasion goes without saying. The true
merit of a society of this nature, how-
ever, is not measured by the number of
years it hasroundedout, but by the bene-
fits accruing from the work it has ac-
complished during the period of its exist-
ence. That being so, we think we are
safe In making the assertion that the
American Carnation Society stands to-
day well In the forefront among the
associations organized for the weal of
the florist trade, and that the results of
the society's labors have been more far-
reaching and helpful than those ot any
similar institution.
Founded in 1891; the American Car-
nation Society chose as the objects to
which its attention should be directed
the following: " To Increase the general
Interest in the cultivation and consump-
tion of the carnation; to Improve the
standard of excellence of the flower; to
improve the methods of cultivation and
the methods of placing It on the market;
to Increase its use as a deeoratve flower;
to improve the methods of growing root-
ed cuttings and plants as well as market-
ing the same; to infuse into the grower
a more thorough understanding of the
general rules of successful business man-
agement; to properly supervise the
nomenclature; to stimulate the growing
of new seedlings and crosses by a system
of exhibitions and awarding valuable
prizes."
A faithful carrying out of the policy
outlined has been adhered to, and the
advancement secured along certain lines
most phenomenal, particularly as regards
the stimulation of Interest in the cultiva-
tion and consumption of the carnation
and in the growing of new seedlings.
The improvement made in the standard
of excellence of the flower can best be
measured If we recall for a moment the
varieties presented before the first meet-
ing of the society at Philadelphia, in
1891, among which were such kinds as
Anna Webb, Pride of Kennett, Golden
Gate, Louise Porsch, Grace Wilder, Por-
tia, Lizzie McGowan, Daybreak, Lam-
born, etc., and compare these varieties
with those which will be placed on exhi-
bition at Baltimore next month. This
grand result has arisen largely from the
persistent work of the officers and mem-
bers of the American Carnation Society,
through the information (the brain
efforts of the best available men) it has
disseminated in Its annual reports, and
to the encouragement given to carnation
growers to put forward their utmost
endeavors in reaching out to greater
achievements. The much-maligned and
often-crltlclsed certificate of the society
has no doubt been a great factor in the
case.
At the beginning of a new century, and
also at the threshold of another decade
of its existence, the society starts out
under very favorable auspices, and by
continuing along similar lines — ever
searching for and adopting that which
will aid In the successful attainment of
its objects— the end of the next decade
will surely present as great an advance-
ment, if not greater than has marked the
first ten years of the society's life. But
to that end and for the better fulfillment
ot Its purposes. It should have the sup-
port of every carnation grower in the
country. Let this support be freely
given.
Diseases of Antirrhinum.
The New York Agricultural Experi-
ment Station, through Its Long Island
branch, has been making some experi-
ments with respect to an anthracnose
and stem rot of the cultivated snap-
dragon, Antirrhinum majus, and the re-
sults are given In Bulletin 179, November
1900, by Professor F. C. Stewart. In
his summary Mr. Stewart says:
" The cultivated snapdragon suffers
severely from a fungous disease in which
the stems and leaves are covered with
elliptical or circular sunken spots. This
disease is called anthracnose and is
caused by a fungus new to science. The
fungus is fully described and figured and
given the nameColletotrichumantlrrhini.
"In an experiment made on Long
Island, plants sprayed once a week wllli
Bordeaux mixture remained entirely free
from the disease, while unsprayed plants
under parallel conditions were completely
ruined by It.
"It is recommended that cuttings be
taken only from healthy plants and that
the plants be sprayed with Bordeaux
mixture, commencing as soon as the cut-
tings are rooted and continuing at inter-
vals of from one to two weeks until the
plants are put into the greenhouse in the
Fall. If later treatments are reqvhircd
ammoniacal solution of coppercarbonate
should be substituted for the Bordeaux.
The plants should be given good ventila-
tion and the foliage wet as little as
possible.
"Stem rot Is another fungous disease
of less Importance. It attacks the succu-
lent shoots, causing them to suddenly
wilt and die. The diseased stems are
covered with thepycnidia of a fungus be-
longing to the genus Phoma, and it has
been shown by inoculation experiments
that this Phoma Is the cause of the dis-
ease. Although no experiments have
been made, it is probable that stem rot
may be prevtnted by spraying with Bor-
deaux mixture as for anthracnose."
Mr. E. S. Miller, of Floral Park, N. Y.,
says: " The remedy given may be of in-
terest to antirrhinum growers. It was
very beneficial to us when we grew the
plant."

William Hammond, one of Newport's
pioneer gardeners, died at his residence
there on the 21st instant at the ripe age
of 75 years. He was born at (.Jueens-
town, Ireland, in August, 1825, and re-
ceived his early training with Smith
Barry, at Fortbey, near his home. At
the age of 28 he emigrated to the United
States. Reaehlug New Yorii in August,
1818, he readily found employment on
the JenuiQgs estate, on the East River,
later takiug charge of tlie grounds of
George JoDrs,at his country residence at

"Are you the society editor?" asked
the large woman.
" No, madam,' said the one addressed,
" I am only the court reporter."
"Really, 1 am surprised, but perhaps
yon will do. Your paper said in the ac-
count of the affair at my house that the
floral decorations 'lent beauty to the
scene.' I wish you would have your
paper state that the floral beauty was
not lent. Everything was paid for."—

Market Notes.
The shortage felt In roses Is not
nearly so marked as it was one week
ago. Shipments are slightly on the in-
crease, while the demand is not quite so
good. Deformed buds are cummun
among American Beauty, and although
the number of special blooms is limited,
there seems to be plenty to meet all re-
quirements. A few Ulricb Bruuner are re
ceived daily by Traendly it Schenck;
these are the only blooms of this variety
coming in as yet. Very limited quanti-
ties of l^iberty are received. Apparently,
but lew growers have been able to make
this rose flower at allfrecly. No material
change has been experienced in the mar-
ket price of roses during the past week,
but if the apathy manifest among the
buyers the past day or two ccntinues,
we shall in all likelihood hear of prices
dropping.
There has been a decided weakening in
carnations; values on ordinary varieties
have fallen about 25 per cent, and fancy
blooms have done little better.
Lily of the valley moves fairly well; a
limited supply of special grade stock is
around and realizes -Ic, otherwise from
$2 to *3 per 100 rules.
Tulips are on the market now in sev-
eral varieties, but short in stem. When
tbe stem is ot a reasonable length, $-1 per
100 is obtainable. Freesias are arriving
daily, and bring from 15c. to 20c. per
hunch. Harrisii lilies, when good, sell
easy; the best of these bring $2 per
dozen. When diseased or otherwise in-
ferior, they bring only moderate prices.
Narcissus Golden Spur has been added to
the list of bulbous flowers this week.
Cattleyas are in fair demand and there is
no change in their value.
The price of violets has a downward
tendency, and $1 Is now a good flgure
for. specials; ordinary blooms are un-
loaded to the street men at ail kinds of
prices, ranging anywhere from 30c. to
50c. per 100. A few white violets are
received occasionally at the different
wholesale houses.
Among th« Retailers.
The many bulbous flowers coming
in, together with the forsythia and
bougainvillea that are on the market,
help to make very pretty window dis-
plays.
The engagement of Hermann Waren-
dorf, a Madison Avenue florist, to Miss
Annette Black, was announced through
the daily press a tew days ago.
W. Burns, 840 Sixth Avenue, has re-
cently made great improvements in his
store. A large plate-glass window has
been installed in the place of the two
smaller ones that heretofore were used
for display. The interior has also been
remodeled and handsomely decorated.
Frederick Stewig, who now owns what
was formerly the Fred. Donahue store,
at 940 Sixth Avenue, has put in new fix-
tures and other embellishments, and
otherwise made the store very attractive.
Jas. Mailons' Sons, the Brooklyn flo-
rists, furnished some beautiful floral bas-
kets and bunches on Saturday morning,
the 19th Inst. The occasion was the de-
parture to Florida ol the prominent
Brooklyn politicians. The decorating of
the special car in which the party trav-
eled was also done in an elaborate man-
ner by the same well-known firm.
Mrs. Edward Bogan, wife of the Third
Avenue florist, has been seriously ill for
some time, but Is now on the way to
recovery.
After an illness of six weeks, Alfred T.
Bunyard has so far recovered as to be able
to leave the hospital. He is now conva-
lescing at Short Hills, N. J.
Last Sunday evening, January 20, fire
broke out in the greenhouses at the
House of Refuge on Randall's Island.
One-third ot the greenhouses, witli their
contents, were destroyed, also the dwell-
ing house occupied by James Scott, in-
structor in the school ot Horticulture.
The partial loss on greenhouse property
will, it is thought, cause temporary
suspension of the school of horticulture.
The Eastern New York Horticultural
Society will hold its fifth annual meeting
ou Wednesday and Timrsday, Februarv
13 and 14, at the American Institute
rooms, 19 and 21 West 44th Street. A

man Company, lately carrying on a re-
tall business in this city, has declared n
dividend to the creditors of 22 1-5 per
cent.
Visitors this week included E.M.Wood,
Natick, Mass., and Carl Jurgens, Jr.,
Newport, R. I.
According to the annual report of the
Tree Planting Association theie was an
increase of more than 100 per cent. In the
uumljerof trees set out during 1900 in
this city. It is suggested that gardening
as a school course, which is so success-
fully taught abroad, might also be at-
tempted here and give a practical and
valuable turn to our present Arbor Day
exercises and nature study lessons.

and reds sell at 75c. per dozen and
higher, costing $4 per 100. Harrisii
lilies are not very plentiful as yet, and

store Management.
Bv Wm. G. Berteemann, Indianapolis.
This 18 a matter that varies widely,
and to give it the proper scope would
take more space than it is possible in
this article.
The holldav trade for 1900 having just
passed, it might be well to say a few
words in regard to the impressions from
it left with me. Of course, to be prepared
for the rush must be the aim of the store-
keeper, and in this much speculation and
risk are entailed. Past experience has
taught many to be careful in laying in a
stock of high-priced flowers, in many in-
stances pickled stock. Customers have
also become cautious, and are looking
for something more substantial than
formerly, selecting combination baskets
of foliage and blooming plants. While
temperatures for handling plants and
flowers.
Deliveking Stock.
This is and always will be a question
of importance during extreme cold
weather. We have used warmed boxes,
coal oil stoves, patent heaters, etc., and
still have trouble at times. We find quick
action by employing extra help a safe-
guard, especially during holiday times.
A. large wagon, with a good coal oil
stove, manned by three men, gives us
excellent service. Busy da.ysin a florist's
establishment are trying days. No mat-
ter how much help one has, how many
iron-clad rules are made, those that have
certain duties to perform are diverted
from these, and then it is mistakes occur.
But is there a place where no mistakes
occur? All we can do is to watch care-
fully and have employees understand
their duties and keep them doing these
as far as i>ossible.
Where a great deal of decorating is
letter and bill heads are all necessary.
Some have found street-car advertising
profltable. The Florists' Mutual Delivery
system since it started has done some
good in advertising theflorists' business;
It should be more generally taken up and
pushed. It will pay.
Window Displays.
This is right in line with the previous
item. Nothing advertises a business
more than tine window displays. Many
business houses are spending much money
and valuable material to make their
show windows things of beauty. Flo-
rists' shopsin Europe are generally much
smaller than those in this country, but
the windows are large and always at-
tractive: in fact, nearly the whole of the
retail florists' stock is there displayed.
Some have vases fllled with seasonable
cut flowers well arranged as to color,
effect and variety; others have baskets
or some other neat arrangements fllled
Dining-Room and Table Decoration for a Wedding, by Bertermann Bros., Indianapolis
boxes of flowers and cut blooms are still,
of course, greatly in evidence, it is, how-
ever, clear that high prices have reduced
the demand for cut flowers during holi-
day periods. The retailer is glad at these
times to get cost price out of his bought
flowers, and those storekeepers are fortu"-
nate who can command stock over and
above their own production and well-
made contracts for the season from relia-
bleand sensiblegrowers. Many growers
are misled by occasional buyers offering
higher prices than are then prevailing in
the market; and at other times, when
stock is plentiful, buying where they can
get the cheapest. The regular buyers
from the grower and commission houses
are paying high prices during certain
sedsons, when fakirs and others are able
to purchase at nearly half the price.
These are the times when the store men's
hearts ache to see dollars and cents go to
the dumps. The store men are not always
treated fairly by the grower andcommis-
sion men. They are compelled to pay
the highest values in and out of season.
Of course they are given the first choice,
but the trouble is the first choice is some-
times below the average. This is the
time when justice in prices should be
given the regular purchasers.
The past season's holiday trade has
been most favorable all over thecountry.
First of all, this can be attributed to the
splendid business prosperity ; then the
somewhat limited supply of cut flowers
on account of warm, unfavorable
weather during November and part of
Pecember, also the extremely favorable
done, and principally where conservato-
ries or greeenhouses are connected with
the store, a man must be kept to send off
and receive plants and other materials
used in decorating. Another competent
clerk or young man must have charge,
along with his regular work, of all the
delivery. This is important during busy
days. Before closing this item I would
like some one of inventive mind to de-
vise a practical means for heatins; de-
livery wagons during cold weather.
Advertisements.
Should a retail florist advertise? Some
say this is not necessary. The choice
flowers, tlie special decorations, the win-
dow displays, etc., must do the work.
I think, however, that a lot of advertis-
ing must be done during the .year by a
live Arm. It is really needed for the good
of the whole florist business. Just as
shows and exhibitions keep the business
and the use of flowers before the public,
so it is of great value to the individual firm
to keep its business before the people.
The greatest bother, and, I may say, evil,
is the floating advertisement; it is al-
ways with us and we cannot shake it
off very well. I mean the program of
the church, lodge and society socials,
festivals, musicales, the obscure periodic-
als and newspapers and other methods; o
course some exceptions must always be
made. Altogether this trouble is not so
bad as it used to be. Some good legiti-
mate newspaper advertising, the printing
and distribution of a neat circular from
time to time, and good original printed
with plants and flowers, and some have
choice foliage and blooming plants, the
whole finished with taste, most always
pleasing to the eye. While we in this
country can command choice long-
stemmed flowers, the European brethren
have more variety and use it to good
effect. Orchids are more in evidence there
than with us.
We have found special displays of color
effect the best. However, if plenty of win-
dow space is available and if it is con-
venient, a studied massing of daily sup-
ply of flowers, excepting roses, which are
kept in the ice boxes, is a great attrac-
tion. On a busy day, certainly, the dis-
play gets disarranged, but you can al-
ways find spare moments for another
grouping, a continuous change during
the day.
During the holidays the store front
should be one of the first to bedecorated
with the best of greens, some novelty
being added. The inside decoration
should be simple, but effective. As the
best stores are most always redecorated
and painted every Fall, very few other
decorations are required to make the
store attractive on the inside. Very im-
pressive work is now done in electric
light effects. Get one of your young men
interested in this line, and let him work
out his ideas; he will be of great assist-
ance when you have some large decora-
tion to carry out.
Economy And Waste.
This is a strong point and needs
judgment in buying material, the right
place to keep surplus stock ; good even
temperature in your store room ; good
air and ventilation; good clean water;
a convenient place to clean vases; ice
boxes must be of the right kind and
away from direct heat; good shears, a
dry place for your wires, a good conven-
ient tool box, a separate room If possible
for packing. Always have a few spare
boxes on hand, for express orders; a
good dry place for your moss, which
should always be kept dry until used.
Where a big business is done there is al-
ways more or less overbuying. This is
not always serious, as occasions arise
when much surplus material can be util-
ized. Of course, a small business cannot
afford to run these risks, and must lay its
basis on a certain quantity, and quality.
At limes the best arranged plans fail, the
stock on hand, I mean plants and cut
flowers, accumulates, and some loss
occurs, sometimes a very heavy one. It
may be from bad or warm weather:
very little funeral work, which always
helps to clean up second-class stock; dur- j
ing Lent, or other causes. It Is a ques-
tion which is the better plan, to always
carry a good-sized stock, or keep a lim-
ited supply, and refuse orders when a
rush comes? Of course, where commis-
sion houses are handy a large stock is
not needed. Then, again, in a small
town where trade is limited. It is advisa-
ble to go slow, but generally a good-sized
stock is the best principle to carry out.
To make grades of flowers is always
a good thing; but I would not advise,
if stock is inferior, to sell at high prices.
This is what many commission houses
are guiltv of, and it should he stopped.
The retailer has troubles of his own,
enough without being compelled to pay
for something he does not get.
To prevent waste, have a place for
everything; bu.v carefully, but not too
carefully; try to secure the best help and
keep it. Advertise only in reputable
newspapers and publications of value. It
is a bad policy, in our line of business, to
reduce prices from the normal because
the market is at times overcrowded.
As regards economy, much, of course,
can be said in its favor, but too rigidly
performed, it is not always good policy
in these times.
Credit.
We all wish we could do without the
giving of credit, but this is impossible.
We may dream of some future time when
some invention other than books shall
prevail, but at present we shall keep
right on hanging another charge on the
credit book: and the past holidays cer-
tainly reached a high point in that re-
spect. The small accounts are what
make the trouble. What is the trouble.
What is the remedy ? We can only keep
down the number of accounts. Ask cash
when goods are sold over the counter.
But what about the telephone orders,
the C. O. D. orders, parties not being at
home, etc. To have a credit man is a
good system, but that does not prevent
the small accounts accumulating. The
only remedy that I can see Is to be as
careful as possible and every flrst of July
mark off the " deadbeats " and be done
with them.
Male or Female Help.
The store men, I think, are nearly
equally divided on this point, leaning
more to the male side. We prefer male
help altogether, because they can jump
in at anything, it may be dirty plant
work, packing, window arranging, etc.
Of course, where a business justifies the
holding of a saleswoman behind the coun-
ter to attend to floral and ribbon work
and possibly to the oflice work that is
all right. There are some women of ex-
traordinary capabilities who know how
to go at things about the flower store,
but the majority would not suit and I
prefer to educate young men in this trade
and let the women perfect themselves in
the art of housekeeping.
Sentiment and Impression of the
Public.
I have heard the following remarks
many times from visitors to the exhibi-
tions and stores: "Oh, isn't this a de-
lightful business! How I should like to
be in your employ and work among the
flowers ! " It te a beautiful business, but,
oh, m.v, there are so many things which
bring it down to the level of many others
— mean competition, which, fortunately,
is not so bad in many places, failures of
crops, storms and hail, blizzards, new
help, and other little pleasantries. How
would it be to send one of these enthusi-
asts to someof those small growers, who
live in their greenhouses or sheds, have
coal, dirt, and utber rubbish piled all

round them, part of their greenhouse
beucbes in ruin, and, when looking for
posies, be unabie to gather even one
bunch.
Then, again, go to a metropolitan flo-
rist. "Sentiment" he says "Is out of
place with me. I am In the business for
the money that is In it." Sentiment
should and must be a part of the retail
tlorlst's stock in trade; it must be im-
parted to the clerk and assistant, for it
goes very well with politeness. You
must give the impression to people of
moderate means that a few flowers sent
to a house of sorrow are as acceptable
as a big design. If the people at the
house are sensible they will certainly ap-
preciate the small token in the spirit in
which it Is given. This may not be
strictly business, but followed out we
will not see so many "No flowers" an-
nouncements at the end of mortuary
notices. It is the overbuying of some
' ' sen timen tiess ' ' person with 11 ttle money
who wishes to make a show which
brings opposition to floral displays at
funerals.
Introducing Novelties.
The retail florist, of course, must do
this; but It is sometimes at a loss to him-
self, especially if the stock offered is too
limited to have always a supply ready
lor the next customer who asks for it,
and who wants nothing else but the new
thing. It Is best for a retailer not to
offer a novelty unless he can supply a
good many customers, who surely will
come to want it. Some stores have built
up a reputation by handling novelties
and special specimen flowers of staple
varieties.
Closing of Stores.
1 recommend a certain hour for closing
in Winter and Summer. It is somewhat
hard to think how many dollars are lost
by this custom, but by and by it is no-
ticed that the loss is only imaginary, to
some extent, and that the feat can be
accomplished easily. In the Winter sea-
son, say from September 1 to June 15, 8
p. m.; Sundays at noon; Summer, from
June 15 to September 1, 6 p. m.; Sun-
days at noon. Holidays — Christmas, New
Year's, Easter, Thanksgiving, at 2 p. m.:
Fourth of July, all day, or keep open only
a few hours in the morning. Of courseon
Saturday evenings the general custom
among all stores is to keep open until 10
o'clock.
What's in a Name?
Firm names should be as short as pos-
sible. Short titles fall on the eye the
quickest and can be made attractive on
your sign and printed matter. If your
name is long and cannot be clianged, do
the best you can with it, but leave off all
unnecessary additions.
Our Illustration.
The picture shows a decoration of a
dining-room table and arrangements for
a wedding, executed by Bertermann
Bros., of Indianapolis. Pink and white
sweet peas were employed. On the table
were the Initial letters of the bride and
bridegroom, the whole beingln a running
garland. A low mound in the center was
loosely arranged with asparagus. The
firm was much complimen led on the effect-
iveness and completeness of the whole
ar a igement.
BRIEFS FOR BUSY FLORISTS.
Fancy Pelargoniums.— Do not allow
the young plants to become root bound
while in the small-sized pots. Pot them
along whenever the roots reach the side
of the pot: then there will be no check
and nice flowering plants will result. If
allowed tobecomepot-bound before they
are shifted, the plants are most sure to
stop growing for a while and part of the
foliage will be lost.
Fuchsias.— Where this old-fashioned
plant is grown, all available cuttings
should be put in now. In sheltered nooks
the fuchsia makes an admirable plant for
urns and such like receptacles, when
mixed collections of plants are used, and
as the fuchsia can be grown so cheaply
there should be a few varieties cultivated
In every establishment doing a general
retail trade.
Dedtzias.— For store- window effect at
Easter time, forselllng as a cheap flower-
ing plant, or to be used for cutting pur-
poses, the deutzias are always most use-
ful, and as they are so easily brought into
Bower, a limited number of them is
always found profitable. They will do
well either forced out quickly or brought
along slowly in a medium temperature,
and they can be grown in almost anj'
part of the greenhouse. Plants procured
now, potted up and kept in a cool house
or shed for three or four weeks will force
easily for Easter; or a few at a time
could be brought in and flowered in the
meantime.
Heliotrope.— Thestock plants are now
full of cuttings and thislsthetimetotake
off a goodly portion and put them in the
sand. Where a general plant trade is
conducted, a well-flowered heliotrope in
a 5-inch pot is always a good seller,
and by taking a batch of cut ings now
they can be had in that shape when the
Spring plant trade begins to move.
Fancv-leaved oaladiums are among
the best of our Summerdecorativeplants,
and they may be started at any time.
Use plenty of leaf soil and sand when
potting the bulbs; place them where
they will have a good strong bottom
heat, and after the first watering be sure
they are dry before any more is given.
The greatest danger in their cultivation
arises from over-watering and too low
temperature. Keep the plants at GO de-
grees at night, with careful watering,
and their culture is easy.
only the few come to the front as shining
lights; while some are born to high posi-
tion, like the rose and carnation, yet
they all had common ancestry.
It Is very evident to any one conver-
sant with the florist's business that nov-
elty is one of the trump cards of the suc-
cessful florist, and when you consider the
numerous varieties of roses, carnations,
chrysanthemums, etc., on the market, it
hardly seems possible to hope for very
striking novelties in that direction. With
the general public a new carnation or
chrysanthemum has to be labeled " This
is new " before It will attract attention.
Where will the novelties be recruited
from? I should say that most of them
will undoubtedly come from the hardy
herbaceous perennials. There is certainly
a vast field for work to improve and
adopt the most promising for the flower
market.
If there is one genus of plants that
offers a more promising field for success
than another it is the wild aster, misera-
ble weeds as they are considered by
many. They certainly contain all the
elements required to produce a race of
florists' flowers eqnal to the chrysanthe-
mum—robust constitution, good habit,
good range of color, and it responds
readily to good cultivation, besides pos-

Hardy Herbaceous Plants
Suitable for Florists'
Use.
I'.ipiT Reail ItPliirr tbf Floruit if Vliih ofl'liihi-
(IflphiR, Jauunry S, 1001, by Ernest Ilcni-
Jiijng, of Tbns, Meehun <C' Sons.
I believe this is the first meeting of the
Philadelphia Florists' Club of the new
century. I feel honored at being allowed
to prepare a paper, and although the
subject is deserving of better treatment
than I can possibly give it, it is a subject
that could not have been better chosen
for the occasion. It seems prophetic of
the tendency of the art of floriculture in
the new centu ry — the tendency to broaden
out and compass every possible branch
of that art that doth improve nature.
It would appear from the title of this
paper that hardy herbaceous perenni-
als are a separate class of plants from
those usually grown by florists, yet two,
if not three, out of the plants most com-
monly grown certainly belong to the
hardy herbaceous perennials. These are
the carnation, violet and chrysanthemum;
and if you will only stop to consider their
origin and compare the beautiful race of
carnations now grown with its progen-
itors, Dianlhus caryophyllus and frutico-
sus, the chrysantheum with the original
species, Chrysanthemum indicum, anil
note the improvement in the violet, you
will readily see how ambiguous the title
is.
The hardy herbaceous perennials stand
in the same relative position to the flo-
rists' flowers as the common masses of
people do to the leading men of the day.
While all are necessary to our economy,
sesslng a natural grace and beauty and
a lengthy Howerlug season.
There are already a considerable num-
ber of hybrids and Improved varieties of
the different species. I counted 17 cata-
logued by one nurseryman of Aster novi
belgii, four of nova; anglhi', besides Im-
proved forms of other species, but I am
sorry to say they are mostly of foreign
origin.
When we consider that the aster Is in-
digenous to the New Woild,and therefore
comparatively new when compared with
the carnation and chrysanthemum, that
have been under the care of the horticul-
turist for ages, its futureusefulness seems
almost assured.
With the general run of hardy herba-
ceous perennials, time of flowering Is one
of the most important considerations to
the florist, and forconvenieneesake I will
divide them into three sections — Spring,
Summer and Fall bloomers.
The early Spring flowering perennials
seem to be the most useful to the florist,
owing to the fact that most of them can
he forced into bloom before flowers are
pentUuI outside, such as Sjiirii'as astil-
boldes and inultiflora, Primula veris and
vulgaris, German iris, iberls, doronlcnm,
heuchera, lily of the valley, peonies, dl-
centra, and many others. These, along
with the Spring flowering bulbs, force
very readily, and are well known to the
florist trade. As regards this section, a
very good rule to go by Is: All plants
that bloom in the open by May, either In
herbaceous plants or shrubs, can be
forced, with more or less success, and it
Is useless to attempt to force any ol the
Summer or Fall blooming plants. Suc-
cess rather depends on the condition of
the plants in the Fall than their treat-
ment in early Spring, because the flower
buds are to a more or less extent formed
at that time, and I should strongly ad-
vocate that they be established la pots
the Fall previous and stored in frames,
with sufficient protection from the frost
to keep the pots uninjured until It is de-
sired to bring them in.
Sd.mmer Blooming Plants.
There are many beautiful subjects
among this section, and I have often
heard florists remark: " If I could only
have a house of so-and-so about Christ-
mas there would be money in it." And
doubtless there would, but it seems well-
nigh impossible to completely change
their flowering season from midsummer
to midwinter, and I do not think It has
ever been done in a practical manner.
Yet from observation I think it Is possi-
ble. Take, for instance, that section of
plants more of a biennial nature, such as
hollyhocks, digitalis. Campanula media,
Polemonlum coeruleum, and others. I
have noticed that they have a tendency
to bloom theflrst year from seed when the
season is a good one. It seems possible
that if they were sown in early Spring
and kept growing all Summer so as to
have them established in pots, then be-
fore the cold weather comes taking them
inside, there can be nothing to pre-
vent them from flowering without their
Winter rest, as they differ from the Spring
blooming plants by not having their
flower buds developed during the Win-
ter's rest. Of course it is only a theory,
and given rather as a suggestion to those
interested enough to work on those lines.
Fall Bloo.ming Plants.
As regards the Fall blooming plants,
j there does not appear to be much scope
j for controlling their flowering season,
{ and their value to the florist rather de-
; pends on their improvement. Among
this section comes the asters already
mentioned.
If I may be allowed to express an opin-
ion on such matters, I think the tendency
of popular taste is toward natural
beauty ; this Is plainly seen by compar-
ing the floral work of the present with
that of the past. The waning of the
popularity of the big show dahlias and
chrysanthemums, with the Increased
popularity of the cosmos and sweet pea
and the eliminating of all formal design
in landscape gardening, seem to conflrm
my views. Such being the case. It be-
hooves all progressive florists to keep an
eye on the hardy herbaceous perennials.

The Florists* Exchange.
American Carnation Society.
The exhibition to be held in Baltimore,
February 21 and 22, will be the great-
est event ever held by the society. About
200 of Baltimore's best ladies will act as
patronesses of the show. The hall, which
is a handsome one tor the occasion, will
be appropriately decorated, and the
abundant space at our disposal will ena-
ble us to display any and all of the car-
nations that may be sent or brought.
The liberal premiums offered should
bring out a good exhibition of the stand-
ard sorts, and every grower who has a
new variety of merit makes the mistalse
of his life if he does not bring it to this
show.
Carnation men will please make a
mental note of this. Any one desiring a
premium list can secure same by apply-
ing to the secretary, Albert M. Herr,

Carnation Sliow at Cliicago.
These yearly exhibitions given by the
Florists' Olub, are becoming of Increased
importance. The show this year took
place on .January 18, in the Atlas block,
right In the wholesale district. The ex-
exhibition was free to all.
The display was not quite so extensive
as last year's, especially of new carna-
tions, and miscellaneous exhibits, but
fully equal to it in market kinds, and a
striking lesson in the way of demonstrat-
ing the enormous advance made in the
quality of the carnations now to be met
with in the markets of the city.
Another great attraction this year was
the visit to the Chicago Carnation Co.'s
extensive plant at Jollet. James Harts-
horne was on hand with transportation
facilities, and 105 people availed them-
selves of the privilege.

two, 20 X 100 feet, and the new model
iron bouse of Lord & Burnham construc-
tion and heating, 30 x .300 feet, making
some 60,000 square feet of ground, cov-
ered with glHSS, all built within thr^e
years, with ofHces, packing sheds, boiler
and cooling rooms, in the best style of
building, devoted to carnations alone,
and representing an expenditure of $500,-
000.
An unusual large number of the firm's
own seedlings is grown here. Their " Big
Four" — Sunbeam, a flesh pink; Nydia,
variegated salmon stripe; Proliflca,
cerise pink, and Bon Homme Richard are
of the money-making class, continuous
flowers; and while bringing a cent below
the larger flowers arelar more profitable
in the end. Others likely to be heard of
hereafter, are Mrs. A. K. Robinson of the
Mrs. George M. Bradt type, but lighter,
with good, long stout stems; No. 78 of
same type, a cross between Mayor
Pingree and Mrs. George M. Bradt; No.
101, a grand white, stem and habit fine,
flower large; Mrs. Milward Adams, light
pink, (always brings fancy prices); J. J.
Shed, a red; Mrs. Potter Palmer, grand
red, with fine stem, a well built flower;
Mrs. Higinbotham, light pink, best of its
class; Chicot, of the Armazindy type, a
great bloomer; Dragon, a very bright
red. A bouse of General Maceo.and Gen-
eral Gomez, was a grand sight. Mrs.
Thomas W. Lawson was in the best of
condition. The Marquis also was doing
flnely, and Ethel Crocker was worthy of
note; in fact all the marketable varieties
could be seen here at their beet. Three
houses are used exclusively for stock pur-
poses, and cuttings in vast quantities,
are benched and in process of striking.
While the visitors were away at Jollet,
E. F. Winterson, assisted by C. Balluff,
had prettily decorated theexhibition hall
and staged the exhibits.
R. Witterstaetter Sedamsville, Ohio,
exhibited Enquirer and Elinora; Weber
& Sons. Oakland, Md., had their large
white Norway, Egypt, dark, and Gene-
Wausau, Wis., exhibited a model of a new
carnation support.
The evening meeting was well attend-
ed. Thomas Archer, St. Joseph, Mich.,
and John P. Risch, were elected mem-
bers. The treasurer reported sending
$15, from Louisville, (Ky.) florists to
the Galveston sufferers. 'The final report
was accepted and the committee dis-
charged.
President McAdam congratulated the
club on the exhibition made and the
tbanks of the meeting were given for the
enjoyable trip to Joliet. James Harts-
borne read a paper on " The New Carna-
tions." Thomas Dale of Brampton, gave
a very interesting account of how they
do things in Canada, and Charles Knoft
and E. T. Grave, Richmond, Ind., told
how theygrew long-stemmed carnations,
E. R. Gesler, J. T. Anthony, John Wei-
land and Anton Then were among the
other speakers.
Two exhibits unfortunatel.v did not
arrive in lime for the show. These were
Dailledouze Bros.' Prosperity, which
came in fine shape, and was exhibited
in the window of Vaughan's seed store.
It certainly is a phenomenonally large,
conspicuous flower. The other exhibit
was C. W. Ward's Governor Roosevelt.
This variety was first placed on view in

A Talk on New Carnations.
Bj^ James llartsbonie. before the Cbicago
Florists' Club January 18, 1901.
You have asked me three quite impor-
tant questions. First, Is the bottomless
pot a success? Second, What new varie-
ties of the season givethe most promise?
Third, Is early lifting In Summer prefera-
ble? I can only state my own experience,
and should it not coincide with your
views, there will be all the more chance
for discussion of the subjects herein men-
tioned.
To begin with, I can say very little for
or against bottomless pot culture of car-
nations, as I have not tried the method
myself, but I have seen it in use where
the variety Mrs. Frances Joost was used.
At planting time the thriftiest plants
were selected for the pots; the next best
were planted out on the same bench in
the ordinary way. The same treatment
has been given both lots, and at the
present time both batches look alike, so
that would lead most of us to believe
that there was no special advantage In
the bottomless pot for carnation cul-
ture. But the way it appeals to me, it
should be a good thing, as it keeps the
plants and foliage from resting on the
beds, affording a better circulation of
air through and underneath the plants,
causing less stem rot, and keeping the
plants in a healthier and stronger condi-
tion, thus enabling them to take up more
stimulants. I do not for a moment be-
lieve there is enough in its favor to ever
warrant a large grower to adopt its
use entirely, but if I had a small place I
think it would be worth a fair trial, for
if I could grow only a trifle better grade
with it, it would be quite a feature In en-
abling me to hold my own with the
growers who have a large amount ol
glass. I was informed a day or two ago
that Dorner is using it very successfully
and is well pleased with his experiment
so far.
What new varieties of the season give
the most promise? The question, as I
understand it, refers to introductions of
1900. I am notin as good a position to
answer this as one would be who had
speculated In all the novelties in equal
proportion. I settled the question In my
own mind last Spring, as every grower
should aim to do. I place Mrs. Thomas
W. Lawson at the head of the list. The
Marquis next, and a toss-up between the
others. We are growing those two by
the thousands, while we have the others
by the hundreds only, in quantity per-
haps hardly large enough for us to say
much in regard to them. I believe Morn-
ing Glory to be a very good commercial
sort in its color, a very pale pink. As I
have seen it, it is a very free bloomer,
and those are the ones that make the
money when grown by the average flo-
rist. The Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson 1
always thought, and am now thor-
oughly convinced, is the best carnation
ever offered to the trade, and when other
growers have mastered its peculiarities
as we have, there is not the least doubt
lu my mind butthatthey will agree with
me. I predict for it a great future and a
longer standing than any other now in
commerce. The Marquis, too, is a most

beautiful color, large, well-formed flow-
ers, and ie a money maker, I believe, as
we grow It.
It iB perhaps too early for any one to
pick the positive winner of the others,
though 1 must say Genevieve Lord is the
best warm-weather carnation I ever
grew.
Is early lifting in Summer preferable?
There Is no doubt of it. Most every one
Is planting earlier than formerly. Even
growers who never planted before Sep-
tember are now planting In .luly or first
part of August. Why? Because they
saw their competitors too far ahead of
them. Since they have adopted the new
method they are right in it forhighpiices.
There are certain hard-wooded varieties,
Mrs. T. W. Lan-son.tor instance, and any
variety that is slow to estaWisii roots in
the greenhouse must be planted early to
Insure success. It has been generally
understood, and I think conceded, by in-
door growers that a large number of
blooms can be produced from late-plant-
ed stock, but I'm inclined to thiuli that
even that point will not be conceded
when we become more accustomed to in-
door growing or early planting. We
have a large quantity of stock that was
planted late last Fall that will not give
anywhere near the number of blooms as
stock of the same varieties planted in
July; even if It should, the first crop was
short-stemmed, and sold for just a verse
of a ragtime song. The second was cut
in time for the holidays, and it we get the
third. It will be so late in the season that
we cannot expect fancy prices, whereas
we can always demand a fair price for
blooms of stock planted early, andean
depend upon a more even supply through-
out the year. I don't think it is abso-
lutely necessary to plant in before August
first, but as soon after as possible, and
if all the plants are housed by that date,
so much the better. If we have unfavora-
ble carnation weatheroutdoors, to better
advantage will the indoor stock show
up; If favorable, then the difference will
not be so marked.
Like Silas Wegg, he then dropped into
poetry with the following strain:
Of carnations new, I've r.-iieed a few,
Though none perhaps to beat old Jnbe.
Otlier srowers have ilone the same,
But tliey'll have to try again.
AVe hear it said we want a red.
Tlie other^fellow shakes his he.nd.
We've reiie enough, no more l)luff,
Of red carnations we've enougli.
We need a wliite ; it beats my life
The number that has come to light
Only to stay a year, or say —
We've dropped them 'cause they wouldn't
pay.
White Cloud is good, so's Flora flill.
But many swear by McGowan still.
If you're .all the same as me
You'll try Norway, liorna or Bon Homme.
At a casual glance we've pinks galore,
But nothing wonderful, and what's more,
If we had, they wouldn't suit
Every blithering big galoot.
Should I call Marquis "all right,"
Rome one sure would want to figlit.
A year ago we all bad one to beat
Tlie Lawson bad.
But it's ne'er materialized.
Though you may laud ic to the skies.
Should you think so any more.
Ship It down to Baltimore.
That's the place to try the test,
For the judges there dr) their best.
A 8 far as exhibitions go you'll surely
Get what credit's due.
The trouble with us all is that
We want a bloom as big as -a hat,
A plant to give a hundred at least.
Where will It come from, West or East?
And so it goes from year to year.
Some one sends out another peer.
The one supposed to beat them all
Generally takes the heaviest fail.
FIRES.
Laramie, W'yo. — Fire in the green-
house of the university here on .lanuary
9 did damage to the extent of $.^00.
Kingston, N. Y. — Damage amounting
to $2,000 resulted from a fire In the
greenhouses of D. B. Stow on January
12. The buildings were insured for
«1,600.
Winchester. A'a.— Fire early in the
morning of January 12 wrecked the
greenhouses of Ardern & Pearson, flo-
rists, inflicting $300 damages. The fire
caught from the furnace. There was no
Insurance.
Hartford, Conn.— A fire in the green-
house estahiishnient of G. w. McClunie,
January 19. did damage to the extent of
over $:i00. Theblaiewascaused through
a patentdamper becoming reversed. The
damage was confined chiefly to the boiler
room and contents.
(22) Tips of Harrisii Lilies Dis-
eased.—The Lilium Harrisii are evidently
affected with the ordinary disease to
which this lily is subject. The only thing
to be done is to Isolate the plants affect-
ed or, if there are but a few of tnem,
throw them away.
(23) Disea.se<l Carnations.- The
carnation shoot is afflicted with bacte-
riosis, probably the result of wrong
treatment— too high temperature and
too much moisture in the house. Cut off
all affected parts; give a dusting of air-
siacked lime over both the plants and
the surface of the benches; give air on all
favorable occasions and keep a night
temperature of from 48 to 50 degrees.
Continue to treat the plants carefully
along these lines and they will outgrow
the trouble.
(24) Bottom Heat for Carnation
Cuttings. — 1 would like to know how
much bottom heat carnation cuttings
require. Do soft cuttings need more heat
than those that are more hardened off?
Also, is it necessary to have as much bot-
tom heat by night as by day? — A Sub-
scriber.
— Carnations will root well in a bot-
tom heat ranging anywhere from 60 to
65 degrees. The heat must be maintained
both day and night. Take the cuttings
when they are ready for the purpose,
aud they will be neither too soft nor too
hard.
(25) Cyprlpediums After Flower-
ing.— Kindly advise us as to the treat-
ment of cyprlpediums after flowering. —
J. M. G.
—Do not attempt to dry down the
cypripedium plants, but keep them sup-
plied with water all the year round.
When they are through flowering, there
should be no change whatever in their
treatment. In the Summer, when they
are making their growth, a light syring-
ing occasionally is beneficial. There are
few plants grown that require less care
and attention than cyprlpediums.
(26) Flower of Liberty Rose Turn-
ing IBlack. — We send you by mall a flower
of Liberty ro>e and would like to ask if
you can tell us what caused It to turn
black. We sold this rose, along with
others, a few days ago, and it was re-
turned. The party returning it says:
"All the other blooms, especially the
Liberty, are beautiful up to this time, but
this particular one turned black and
shriveled up the same day on which it
was received, the foliage remaining in
good condition until taken outof water."
— Y.
— Seeing that only one flower turned
black, we think the trouble came from
some local cause. Probably while the
flowers were being arranged this par-
ticular one was pinched near the calyx,
and the stem being soft and tender was
bruised so that the flower, receiving no
sustenance from being placed In water,
dried up and the petals turned black.
(27) Ball-nosed American Beauty
Rose. — I have sent you some flowers of
American Beauty rose and would like to
now what makes them come bull-nosed.
I cut good flowers from the same plants
during November and December. Strong
shoots are producing bull-nosed flowers,
the same as weak ones. The foliage is
nice and green; no mildew and very lit-
tle black spot. I have applied liquid
manure several times. I fumigated with
cyanide of potassium. Curling of the
young leaves was observed, but nothing
was noticed wrong with the flowers
until now, which is some three weeks
after the fumigating wa done. — J. M. G.
— American Beauty roses will come
bull-nosed through a lack of sunshine
or by being kept at a too low tempera-
ture; but from the flowers submitted
we do not think the trouble has arisen
from either of the above-mentioned
causes. Although we cannot be positive,
yet we think the check in the develop-
ment of the buds has been caused by the
fumigation; the leaves have been curled
slightly, and any buds that were just set-
ting at the time the fumigating was
done would be likely to be affected, see-
ing that the foliage suffered somewhat.
(28) Rose La France for Summer
Blooming. — We have a number of I-a
France rose plants in the field, and would
like to use them inside for blooming dur-
ing the coming Summer. How shall we
handle them to the best advantaee?
—If the plants are wanted for Summer
blooming, it will beunnecessary to bring
them Indoors, as they will flower just as
well where they are. They may, of
course, be brought indoors and flowered,
and for that purpose they will have to be
planted in the greenhouse while the.v are
dormant. As soon as frost is out of the
ground (so that they can be lifted) will
be the right time to bring in the roses.
Plant them firmly in the best and richest
soil obtainableandkeep allartlHoial heat
out of the house. The tops may be short-
ened a little for convenience in handling,
but do not prune them down until they
are about ready to start into growth;
then the weak canes may be cut bacii
close, and the strong ones shortened back
a little and tied down so as to get several
breaks from each cane. Until the plants
commence to grow very little water will
be needed. Have the soil reasonably
moist when the.v are planted in, and put
on a mulch of hay or stable litter; then
no water will be necessary until they
start to grow, when they should have a
good watering and be kept growing.
(20) Cutting Back Marechal Niel
Rose.— When and howmuch should I cut
back the wood of Marechal Niel rose, to
have it bloom soon. Marechal Niel was
budded on White Lamarque over a year
ago. The canes are from 10 to 35 feet
in length and full of wood.
— AS the writer of the question does
not state whether or not the rose is at
present dormant, we must assume that
such is the case, and also that the plant
is overcrowded with wood, seeing that
such long growths have been made in one
season. When pruning, cut out all the
soft and half-ripened wood. This will be
formed of the lateral shoots and they
should be pruned down to two eyes.
With themaln stems, the amountof room
at command and the condition of the
wood must decide how close to do the
pruning. Cut far enough back so that
on the wood that is left there will be no
bare stem showing after growth starts.
It there be lateral shoots from the main
stems, cut down to within a few e.ves
from them, then there will be no danger
nf bare stems, as every eye will break.
Where the shoots are long and have no
lateral branches, thev ought to be cut
back about one third at the least, and
should they be not well ripened at that
distance. cutback furtherthan that even.
The period at which to do the pruning
is any time after the rose has been in a
dormant condition two or three weeks,
providing a steady heat can be main-
tained after growth starts.
(30) Trouble with Latanias.— We
send you to-day by mail a latania palm
leaf. Kindly tell us what is the matter
with it. We have been growing palms
for years, but this disease gets the best
of us. The leaf was cut from a palm in a
6-inch pot; all the other leaves are green
and healthy. This is not one of the bot-
tom leaves, but about the fifth or sixth
from the bottom, .\bout 10 percent, of
our plants are affected In a similar way.
— Ma:;n & Brown.
—We regret that it is Impossible to tell
from the leaf sent what is causing the
trouble in the palms. In the leaf there
are no signs of any fungus disease, nor
do insects seem to have injured it. It is
possible that lower down on the plant
there may be some fungus trouble, but
this cannot be determined from the leaf
alone. It would be neiessary to know
about the previous treatment of the
plants, as well as their present condition,
before it would be possible to decide the
cause of the injury. — Albert F. Wooiis,
Chief of Division of VegetE ble Physi-
ology, Washington.
(;il) Perennial Pea, Bouvardia,
Lily of the Valley, Primulas.— Please
tell me If white perennial pea. will come
true from seed? Also how to manage
my bouvardias that are going out of
flower. The plants are not very large.
Ought I to cut them back, or had 1 bet-
ter get some young plants. Also how to
treat lily of the valley, for forcing, when
received from the store; should they be
put right in. and in what temperature.
When should I sow Primula sinensis to
get them in bloom by Christmas. —
.\BRA.M Ci.EMO.
— The perennial peaacan be relied upon
to come true from seed.
Do not cut back the bouvardias; cut
away the old flower stems only. All the
shoots now making will soon each
throw a flower head. Keep them In a
good growing temperature, of about 60
degrees at night, and they will produce
plenty of bloom again shortly.
— The roots of the lily of the valley are
usually shortened back enough to admit
of their being planted easily into the bed,
though the shortening back is done, not
because it is necessary, but to save hav-
ing such a depth of soil or sand In which
to plant them. Use a bottom heat of 80
degrees, with the top temperature 19 de-
grees lower.
Primula sinensis for Christmas should
be sown the latter part of April.
(.•'2) A Help Problem.— I would like
to ascertain, through the Question Box
of your valuable paper, the number of
men necessary to manage and care for a
greenhouse plant of the following size:
One house 20 feet wide, 100 feet long, de-
voted to roses; one house 25 feet wide,
190 feet long, also devoted to roses; one
house 25 feet wide, 135 feet long, devoted
to carnations; one house 25 feet wide,
91 feet long, also devoted to carnations;
asparagus and fern house 20 feet wide,
25 feet long; one lean-to house 6 feet
wide, 92 feet long, devoted to mignon-
ette; one lean-to house 11 feet wide 50
feet long, for stevia and young stock in
Spring; one propagating house 14 feet
wide; one connecting corridor 8 feet
wide, 11 feet long, with two side benches
planted with Asparagusplumosusnanus;
another corridor 9 feet wide, 1 1 feet long,
planted with swainsona — in all about
21.000 squarefeetof glass surface heated
by hot water. Which is the proper way
to And the area of a greenhouse plant —
by measuring the ground surface covered
or the square feet of glass surface?
— The best way to get the area covered
by glass is to figure the space under cul-
tivation lacking what is taken up by the
paths. The glass area of the place men-
tioned contains less than 15,000 square
feet, and, with the crops mentioned, it
should be maintained in good shape by
two growers and a good boy helper.
(33) Bulbs for Easter Flowering.—
Kindly inform me what treatment should
be given to bulbs that are planted in the
following manner in order to have them
in bloom for Easter. I havealarge num-
ber of narcissus potted up since the first
of January; they are rooted already and
about 3 inches in height. I have them
in a carnation house, under the bench
where there is no piping, and have them
covered to a depth of 5 inches with ashes.
Do you think I can hold them In this
manner until the time comes to take
them out and force them? Also let me
know the proper time to take them out.
I have tulips, Roman and Dutch hya-
cinths in the same place. How shall I
treat them for Easter flowering? I have
also the same kind of bulbs outdoors.
When is the proper time to bring them in
for forcing? Also let me know the time
to plant freesia bulbs to have them in
bloom for Easter.— P. W. C.
— It was a mistake to put the bulbs in
a carnation house when they were not
wanted to come in to flower before Easter.
They should either have been buried out-
doors or kept in a shed that was about
frost proof only. The only thing to do
now is to remove them from where they
are. and put them into a cool cellar or
shed where there is only partial light.
Look them over every few days, and any
that show sigi s of flowers, bring them
in o the greenhouse, grow along and try
to sell them. To attempt to hold them
all bacii for Easter might result in the
loss of the greater part of them, whereas
by bringing a few at a time into flower
they might all find a profitable market;
for if they are 3 inches high now,
there is IHtle hope that they can be held
back until the 7th of .Xpril.
The bulbs that are outdoors will be all
right for Easter if broughtin by thelOth
of March, or a few days before.
The freesias should be planted at once.
After planting, place the pots or flats
directly on thegreenhouse bench. covering
the top with a sheet of paper until
growth starts; then remove the paper
and keep the plants growing briskly.

trade was at least 25 per cent, greater
tliuu last year's. Especially was this
true of holly and other (^hristmas greens.
Plants sold well, as they were scarce,
particularly blooming plants. Bulbous
stock did not take well. The supply of
roses was equal to the demand. Carna-
tions were short and of poor quality.

Chattanooga, Tenn.— .John Harsten
reports a large largelncrease iu busineea.
Roses are his specialty; his Bride, Brides-
maid and Perle particularly are well
grown. He has still a good call for set
pieces in funeral work, and turns out
very light, artistic designs.
Memphis, Tenn.— Olaf .Johnson reports
satisfactory business; his roses are very
fine, particularly I,a France.
The Memphis Floral Co. has made
radical changes in its big store, lining it
with mirrors. The firm reports an in-
crease in the mailing department, and
has orders for several thousand stocks,
chiefly roses, which they grow exten-
sively.
Knoxville, Tenn.— Charles Baum has
a seedling carnation that is identical
with Guardian Angel; it is very popular
and sells at sight.
C. W. Crouch is very successful with
roses grown on the ground; both Ameri-
can Beauty and teas are looking equal to
the best bench-grown stock I have seen
in the South, l^lberty is as fine as any ;
a new house is being devoted to it. Ow-
ing to the extremely hot Summer violets
and carnations were late in taking hold.
They will be grown in the houses next
Summer as an experiment.
Nashville, Tenn.— Joy &Son are hav-
ing great success with the Liberty rose.
They could not get their patrons to ad-
mire Meteor, but cannot supply the de-
mand for the new favorite. Apart from
a little black spot it is everything thev
can wish for. Bride, Bridesmaid and
Kaiserin, Augusta Victoria are looking
fine. Carnations suffered during the Sum-
mer; they will be grown entirely under
glass in future onthesub-irrigation plan.
G. H.Craue, Triumph, White Cloud, Flora
Hill and Glacier are their stnndtjys.
New Oeleans, La.— Up to time of
writing, January 13, no sign of frost has
been observed; every thing is in full bloom.
Valdejo has some fine blooms of Papa
Gontier and Satrano rotes, fully twice as
large as when grown under glass. 1
noted a fine plant of the bottle brush
(metrosideros) in full flower.
U. J. Virgin is busy with decorations,
of which he has the largest share iu
town. M. Cook & Son are also busy in
the same line.
Jules Fonta has returned from a visit
to his native laud. He spent one month
at the Paris Exposition. His descrip-
tion of the horticultural section is
most interesting. At the '■ battleof flow-
ers "orchids were used lavishly. .Some
of the grandest specimens of ferns were a
pair of mammoth stag horus(Platycer-
ium grande) placed on either side of
the entrance.
At Audubon Park the most attractive
feature is the big bank of Alsophila aus-
tralis and Adiantum Lathaini, of which
Mr. Baker, the superintendent, is justly
proud. He considers this the finest va-
riety of the maidenhair family. W. M.

Trade News.
At present trade in the stores may
be called moderate. Some festive deco-
rating ot a minor character has been
done recentl.v, so the general scarcity of
blooms that seems to exist has not been
serious in effect. In exception to the
above violets are quite plentiful and ot
good quality, while carnations seem
almost the scarcest. The weatHer came
on severely cold with a bit of snow some
days ago, only to turn warmer and soft
again.
A ITnique Window Display.
Palmer & Son have an unusual
window display this week. Though the
space is small tor the purpose, a good
effect is shown of a wedding rail-and-
altar arrangement, as may be made in a
parlor for a home affair. It includes a
center arch of wild smilax, fitted in with
a stained-glass effect, flanked by two
open arches. The pre dieu, with a series
of laurel-wound bronzed pillars to give a
distance effect, help out the scheme. Bed
roses and paper rosettes, with the whole
affair freely interspersed with electric
lights, furnish a finish that begets the
admiring attention of the passers by.
Jottinsrs Around Town.
On Wednesday evening ot last week
a prearranged meeting of the bowling
contingent took place at the German-
American alleys on Main Street. The
attendance was light, but marked by the
men ot brawn and high score records.
Though formal organization was de-
ferred, an engaging of the alleys for
Wednesday nights was entered into. Lo-
cally it is felt that a prestige, even at
home, needs be defended this Summer.
It is given out that George Troup,
Forest Lawn Cemeter.v superintendent,
has purchased the Webb greenhouse
plant at Corfu, N. Y., and has installed
one ot his sons as manager, assisted by
Aleck .Scott, of Buffalo.
John G. Plckelman has again entered
business in a retail line in the Washing-
ton Market, where a timely fitted-up
stall shows temptingly attractive to
would-be patrons.
Arnold Ringier, of Chicago, was a busi-
ness visitor on Tuesday. Vidi.

The Market.
Business is moving along steadily
and witb a very light market. Except
for Roman hyacinths, Paper White nar-
cissus and violets, the demand about
cleans up the daily supply, and in some
instances much more stocls could be han-
dled. Roses especially have been short;
extra and special Beauty are now seen
in small numbers only and sell well at
$60 to $75 per 100. The smaller grades
are a little more plentiful; still there are
not enough to meetthedemand and they
are generally well cleaned up early in the
day. The prices realized the past two or
three weeks still prevail.
Bridesmaid, too, are much sought for
and not abundant enough to meet the
demand. Bride are also in short supply
and sell well, though they do not meet
with the demand experienced by the col-
ored sorts. The Queen of Edgely, which
is handled exclusively by Welch Bros, in
this city, sells very well at $20 to $25
per 100. Liberty, Mrs. Pierpont Morgan
and Meteor are only in fair supply and
generally clean up.
Carnations are now quite plentiful,
especially Scott and those near that
shade. Good ones are very scarce, and
the finer kinds are generally well disposed
of. Best quality of common varieties
make $2; the newer kinds bring $2.50
and $3, while fancies realize $4.
Jonquils and daffodils are in pretty
good supply and sell well, the former
bringing $2.50 and $3 per 100; the lat-
ter $4. Tulips are mure abundant, but
most of them are yet very short-stemmed.
Lilies are very plentiful and move slowly
at $8 per 100. Lily of the valley is iu
good supply. Freesia has become quite
plentiful, and sells well, averaging $2 per
100 for good stock, a few extra sprays
making $2.50.
Violets aremoving slowly. Mignonette
is still rather scarce and makes $2 to
$2.50, with extra stock selling at $3 per
100.

The Market.
Business during the past week has
been extra good. The death of several
prominent citizens created a great call
for funeral work, and much of that sent
out was of a very high quality. A good
many fine Cattleya 'Trianfe were used.
All our stores have been showing fine
flowers; carnations have been especially
good. Dunlop had a carnation window
last Thursday, and showed most of the
new varieties in fine condition. Jay &
Son and Fred Brown are also showing
especially good stock.

A Tote on Carnations.
A small gathering of carnation
growers assembled at Dale's, Brampton,
on Tuesday last, to discuss the usefulness
of the newer carnations. J. H. Dunlop
acted as chairman, and all present gave
their experiences and opinions frankly
and freely. On the table was a fine lot
of blooms, and as all of them were good,
an opportunity was afforded of judging
what may be done with the varieties.
Dick, of London, had especially fine El-
dorado grown indoors ail Summer, Liz-
zie McGowan, also inside-grown, Victor,
G. 11. Crane, and a good white seedling
named Expectant. Gammage had fine
flowers of Mary Wood, Mrs.C. H. Lippin-
cott. Glacier and Mrs. Frances Joost, the
latter being, he says, the most prolific
variety he has. Dunlop showed some
good .Melba, Morning Glory, Glacier, The
Marquis, G. H. Crane, Ellnora and Es-
telle. Dale had fine G. H. Crane (this
variety comes with a very bright color
on tljis place). The Marquis, White Cloud,
Glacier and Morning Glory.
In ail of the collections were Mrs.
George M. Bradt, G. H. Crane, Glacier,
White (^loud and Oiympla. Other varie-
ties shown were Lady Minto, Lady Van
Home, Cerise Queen, Genevieve Lord,
Melba, Ethel Crocker, Daybreak, Jubilee,
Triumph and General Gomez.
After all had given their experiences
with the different varieties, a vote was
taken as to which are the best commer-
cial kinds in each color. In pink. Morn-
ing Glory was the favorite; In scarlet,
G. H. Crane; in white. Glacier and White
Cloud were the winners. Glacier getting
rather the best of It; fancy, Mrs. George
M. Bradt, and for a dark variety, Maceo
was the favorite. The meeting was a

The Market.
Trade the past week has been gen-
erally quite Batistaetory ; the wholesale
men have had no trouDle in cleaning up
nearly every day. There has been no
particular shortage, excepting, perhaps,
in roses, which toward the latter part
ol the week were rather scarce. Prices
have held their own In consequence.
Carnations have been in full supply,
but at no time over-plentitui, except
Scott, which piled up a little; values on
this particular variety werealittle lower.
Violets are plentiful at $1 per 100.
Notes.
On a visit to B. Frow's place lately
we noticed in particular the carnation
Glacier, which here is in splendid shape.
It is perfectly healthy, Is flowering freely,
and has been ever since it was housed.
To the square foot of bench, there can be
no doubt but this variety, as grown by
Mr. Frow, will produce by far the great-
est number of bloBm of any white carna-
tion. The flowers are a pearly white,
of fair size; the stem is very stiff, and the
plaut seems to need no tying. Consid-
ering the fact that Mr. Frow's place is
downtown and hemmed in by buildings,
his stock looks remarkably well. He
finds the growingof caruationsas prolit-
able and satisfactory as anything he can
put his glass to.
The big establishment of Wm. Schray
& Sons is overflowing with a choice
assortment of everything likely to be
called for, and it all looks well, especially
batches of primroses, cyclamen and lilies.
The firm has disposed of a large quantity
of small ferns at a profit this year, ferns
being one of their specialties. Their roses
are in excellent shape, as are the carna-
tions. Some very flue blooms of The
Marquis were noticed here. This firm
also carries a large line of palms and
other decorative stock.
Mr. Foster says that the report in last
week's issue that he will retire from the
florist's business la a mistake, and adds
that he is in it to stay. C. C. S.
Cincinnati.
A Scarcity of Stock.
Stock in this market has been un-
usually scarce the past week, especially
roses. The supply of carnations has
been nearly equal to the demand, but the
quality is not what it should be, al-
though improving somewhat. We liave
had some wintry weather the past few
days, and with a little more sunshine
shall soon have plenty of stock. Violets
are coming in more plentifully, but the
demand has lessened, and it is now hard
work to move them at ^1 per 100, many
going for much less. Bulbous stock goes
slow.
Jotting!*
Mr. Walker, of Youngstowu, Ohio,
was in the city during the week, looking
up the new carnations.
Mr. WitterstiBtter tells me that he will
not be able to nearl.v fill his orders for
Estelle. I do not wonder at this, as so
far this season Estelle has proven to be
the best scarlet carnation onthis market.
As the time draws near for the Ameri-
can Carnation Society's meeting at Bal-
timore, more interest is manifested. We
expect to liave six delegates from Cincin-
nati, and will no doubt be joined by
others in this vicinity. Our delegation
will travel over the B. & O. R.R.,as this
will give us the privilege of stopping off
at Oakland, when returning, to visit H.
Weber & Sons. This part of the trip is
looked forward to with a great deal of
interest, as these peoplecome pretty near
knowing how to grow carnations. As
to rates, we have been able to make very
satisfactory arrangements.

state of Trade.
The main feature in trade circles is
a siiortage of roses and an advance in
prices again. Good long-stemmed Ameri-
can Beauty bring $6 to $8 per dozen;
extra teas, $8 to $10 per 100. Bride is
in demanil above the supply. Golden
Gate roses are selling well.
In carnations whites are fairly well
cleaned up, but colored stocii is draggy
and hard to dispose of. Fancies are
quoted at $8 to $4, but many more sell
at $2 to $3, and really good flowers go
at from $1.50 to $2; common at 75c. to
Lily of the valley is plentiful at $3 to
$5. Callas sell at $2; Lilium fiarrisii at
same figure. Tulips are coming in of
better quality; the best bring $3 to ?4.
Lilac fetches $1 to $1.50 per dozen.
Violets are abundant, singles realizing
75c.tofl; double8,$lto$1.25; mignon-
ette is good at $.'t to $.'). Home trade
appears to be improving; shipping busi-
ness Is only fair.

The first Issue of the year 1901 of the
Gardeners' Chronicle, London, is the
"Diamond Jubilee Number" of that
journal. A supplement shows a repro-
duction of the first page of the initial
isdue of the Chronicle, together with por-
traits of the founders. An interesting
rfeumfi of the work accomplished in hor-
ticulture during the past century forms
part of the week's contents.
R. J. Groves, the florist of Atchison, is
next to the oldest man in that bUHiuess
in theStateof Kansas. The oldest florist
in the State is Mr. Margrave, of Hiawa-
tha. Mr. Groves started in business in
1865 on a capital of 10 cents. His first
year's sales of flowers amounted to $2.25.
He is now one of Atchison's well-to do
citizens, having a nice residence on the
north side and considerable land. Mr.
Groves has had a constant helper during
his lite work in his faithful wife.

Dunkirk, N. Y. — James L. Drohen has
purchased J. M. Hackett's stock In the
South Shore Seed Company and is now
sole owner. The business name will be
changed to James L. Drohen's Seed Com-
pany.
Owensboro, Ky.— H. B. Phillips is
making preparation to erect a two-story
brick business house on Daviess Street,
in the rear of the big store of the H. B.
Phillips Company. It will be a handsome
structure, 30 feet wide and 13G feet long,
and will be occupied with an immense
stock of seeds and agricultural imple
ments.
St. Paul. — The catalogue business just
now beginning another season bids fair
to be one of the very best on record. It
is too early, however, to predict any-
thing, though early orders would indi-
cate a good demand for everything and
good-sized orders would denote good
times in farming sections. In the whole-
sale line mail orders are coming in very
freely much earlier than usual, which
shows that country merchants are hav-
ing early and heavy demands in all lines.
Looking over several of the leading
catalogues, there seems to be a wide vari-
ation in retail prices, especially on onion
seed. One well-known Arm quotes onion
at 90c. by mail, while another equally
well-known and reputableconcern quotes
the same variety at JL.'iO per pound.
Those on the inside, who know the cost,
can readily figure how much more seed
the 90c. man will have to sell in order to
make the same amount of profit as the
other. In the rapid extension of the
wholesale trade and the retailing of seed
by at least 75 per cent, of the grocery-
men in the country, as well as by drug-
gists, hardware merchants, department
stores and many others, some long-headed
seers in the trade claim that the death-
knell of the catalogue business has been
sounded. We hope this is not true, but
tlie history of the catalogue trade the
past five years is far from encouraging.
Lester C. Morse and C. P. Brnslau, of
California, and Mr. Hunter, representing
the Cox Seed Co., were recent callers.
L. L. May was a recent visitor to To-
ronto, being called there by the death of
a brother. Veritas.
The Situation. — Trade has fairly com-
menced in some lines, particularly with
those doing a large export business; the
prospects are for asuccessful season. The
more conservative see an opportunity
to do a profitable trade, and to getprlces
that will give a fair profit on the capital
Invested and the risks run. The scarcity
In many lines would warrantan avdance
on all. The scarcity of nearly all the
brasslcas and root crops Is being plainly
(elt, as well as with most varieties of
peas and beans. Of the latter the short-
age is far greater than last year, but
prices are at least SI per bushel less. This
seems strange, and shows only too
plainly the keen competition that exists
everywhere.
The Wholesale Seedsmen's Leag:ue Is
earnestly at work in trying to fix prices
for all seeds at rates which will make
I their business a paying one, which Is com-

mendable. Their printed Uets read well,
but the prices on paper are by no means
those the small dealers pay for their
stocks. And our truckers are offered
seeds at much less than quoted rates.
This Is a matter that will regulate itself,
and the efforts made to build up trade
will in time bear good fruit.
The great drawback to the trade are
the adventurers who agree to sell, for
the sake of establishing trade, at prices
that impoverish. On many lines the
figures offered the Long Island farmers
are much below market gardeners' prices.
The farmers have not yet settled upon
what they are to grow. The pea aphis
will keep many from planting other than
the early sorts, and the early potatoes
have sold so poorly the past year that
farmers are in doubt as to planting
another season. They seem greatly dis-
couraged, but with a certain class there
is method in their madness; they have
found out that they can buy cheaper
by not being in a hurry and are work-
ing on those lines. One of our largest
farmers told the writer, after going over
the situation carefully, the result will be
that the farmers will grow the same
quantity as formerly when the time
comes, as they have nothing else to do.

The East Tennessee Nurserymen's As-
sociation has named a committee headed
by N. W. Hale, of Knoxville, to prepaie a
bill to bepresented to the Tennessee Legis-
lature, now in session, creating the ollice
of State entomologist and to prevent the
introduction oi dissemination of noxious
insects or infectious or contagious dis-
eases of trees, vines, shrubs or plants
grown in the State or imported from
other States or countries. The bill pro-
vides that the entomologist is to be
selected by the trustees ol the Dniversity
of Tennessee, and to work in connection
with the agiiculturul experiment station.
He shall inspect all nurseries whenever
he deems it necessary and shall publish
the resultsof bisinspection. It prohibits
the shipping of nursery stock into the
State tliat does not bear a state or gov-
ernment Inspector's label. A violation
of any of the provisions of the bill im-
poses a fine of from ;|fo to $25.
The Eastern Association of Nursery-
men at a meeting in Rochester, N. Y.,
last week, elected the following officers:
President, William C. Barry, Rochester;
vice-president, C. H. Hawks, Rochester;
secretary-treasurer, William Pitkin, Roch-
ester; Executive Committee, Irving
Rouse, Rochester; Wing R. Smith, Syra-
cuse; George A. Sweet, Dansville; Charles
,J. Brown, Rochester; Charles W. Stuart,
Newark.
The Rochester (N. Y.) nurserymen are
making strenuous efforts to defeat the
passage of the Phipps Bill, in the State
Legislature, calling for the fumigation of
all plants and trees.
At the recent meeting of the Western
New York Horticultural Society at Roch-
ester, after a somewhat heated discus
son on the subject of the bill now pend-
ing in the Legislature dealing with the
fumigation of nursery stock, the fruit
growers who favored the bill and the
nurserymeu who were against it effected
a compromise, agreeing to wait another
year tu see whether the pest abates, and
should this not be the case the nursery-
men will unite with the fruit growers in
asking for the law to compel fumigation.
An additional appropriation of $25,000
is to be asked to makeinsiiection of nurs-
ery stock for the San Jos6 scale more
thorough. The membership of the so-
ciety now numbers 800.
Legislation recommended to-day by
the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society
at its recent meeting iu Harrisburg calls
for an appropriation of $147,000 for the
erection and equipment of a building at
State College for placing the instruction
in horticulture and dairying upon a basis
commensurate with the importance of
the interests to the State, and for con-
tinuing the publication of the nature
study leaflets issued by the college; a
bill, as prepared by Professor John Ham-
ilton, " to prevent diseases of fruit trees
and pests thataffectthe same," and"the
establishment of a division of horticul-
ture and pomology in the Department of
Agriculture, to be administered by the
Secretary of Agriculture, and the appoint-
ment by the Governor of a commissioner
of horticulture and pomology, at $2,500
per annum, with a clerk at$l,500." The
exhibit of fruit included pears, apples and
several varieties of oranges. Among
other carnations was a vase of the new
pink Edna, originated by Lewis Moore,
of Unionville, Chester County. A collec-
tion of the Mrs. Southey geraniums
was shown by J. D. Breuneman. The
officers for the ensuing term are: Presi-
dent, Howard A. Chase. Philadelphia;
vice-presidents, Calvin Cooper, Bird-in-
Haud; W. T. Creasy, Bloomsburg, and
M. C. Dunleavy, Carnegie; secretaries,

a big lot of planting the coming season.
Z Transplanting Wistarias. — It is
quite common for nurserymen to have
customers complain that wistarias fail
to do well. While true that this grand
climber does not transplant well, it is
equally true that it is hard to kill
Perhaps it is better to say that it larely
dies outright when transplanted. If
moved in Spring, it may linger for two
months before leafing out, yes, it may re-
main dormant the whole season, not
making a leaf in all that time. Naturally,
when it behaves in this way it is deemed
dead, and many dig it up and throw it
away. Instead ol this, were it well
pruned it would probably push out the
same season. It should be well pruned
always when transplanted, and a plant
should never be thrown away while pick-
ing the skin discloses green bark, as this
proves there is life. Wistarias left to
themselves make but one or two long,
tough, leather-like roots, and these are
usually cut in digging. Small plants
should be transplanted often— every two
years or so — cutting off the ends of the
long roots. In this way plants could be
had forselling which would surely satisfy
customers.
This vine is easily raised from seed, and
a lot grown In pots would surely give
satisfaction.
Sassafras.— The beautiful sassafras is
often denied a place on a lawn because
of the fact that under some conditions it
has a great tendency to produce suckers.
Quite an extensive observation leads me
to say that the tree very rarely suckers
unless the roots are injured by being cut
or broken. It is a tree which grows
readily from pieces of root, as does the
ailanthus, aralia and other trees, but all
these, and especially the sassafras, may
stand on a lawn without fear of sprout-
ing if the roots are undisturbed. In the
vicinity of Philadelphia there are some
monstrous sassafras trees, standing by
themselves along fence rows and also
on private grounds, and around many
of the trees suckers are never seen. The
ground about a chopped-down tree will
soon be alive with suckers, let it be any
of the genus mentioned above, but this
need not be feared with the trees intact
and roots undisturbed. This tree is such
a beautiful one in every way, and so un-
like any other one in character, that it
should be more largely planted. The
dark green leaves and their peculiar
diversified lobing, together with the
character of growth, make the tree strik-
ingly different from any other. The late
Jean Van Volxen, an eminent Belgian
nurseryman and horticulturist, was en-
raptured with the trees he saw growing
about Philadelphia on the occasion of a
visit here, and assured the writer that in
his country they esteemed the sassafras
as among the most ornamental of trees.
For many years the sassafras went under
the name of Laurus sassafras, but Sassa-
frBs officinale, as per Index Kewensis, is
now the name adopted.
Transplanting Large Trees.— There
is no better way to transplant a tree
than to dig it up with all the roots it
has, and with as little disturbance as
possible, resetting it in its new position
as quickly as may be, to prevent drying
out ol the roots. Trees get too large in
time to make it practicable to remove
them with roots intact, and if there be a
number of the roots lost in the removal,
the chances are against the success of
transplanting. Another case where
trouble is often met with, is that where
it is desired to transplant a tree which
has stood in one position a long time,
and has but a strong tap root, and per-
haps a few others. Such, trees as these
can be handled with a fair degree of suc-
cess, treated as follows: Root prune
them a year in advance, doing it some-
what in this way : supposing the tree to
have a butt of about four inches diame-
ter at a foot from the ground. Dig a
trench around the tree at a distance of
three feet from the trunk making a circle
of six feet diameter. Dig down about
three feet, cutting off clean, all the roots
met with in the circle, the excavation
being about the width of the spade.
Also get under the tree somewhat, to
reach roots there, though if a fair lot aro
met with In the circle, It Is not of so muc_

importance to seek for more under the
tree. Fill in the trench with gooil soil,
alter the cutting of the roots is accom-
plislied, and then rest for a year, or even
two years. By that time wherever a
large root had been cut many smaller
ones will have appeared. By digging
around the tree at a rather wider circle
than before, these new made roots are
preserved, and when the tree is placed in
its new position it has these to call on to
help it along. Joseph Meehan.

Thb F=L-0RISTS* Exchkngb.
(34) Pern for Name.— The fern sent
Is Nephrolepis tuberosa.a synonym of N.
cordifolia.
(35) Sweet Pea for Name.— The
sweet pea sent resembles Dolly Varden
as much' as any other variety I can call
to mind.— H. M. E.
(36) Time to Sow Smilax Seed.—
When is the right time to sow smilax
seed? I want to house the plants next
November. — Subscriber.
—Sow the smilax seed as soon as pos-
sible.
(37) Glazing Greenhouses.- Would
it be worth while to put glass the wide
way? The panes are 14 x 18, double
thick.
—The 18 X 14 glass will do all right if
laid crosswise. The house will be lighter,
as there would be fewer sash bars needed.
(38) Marguerites.— Under what name
In th« catalogues is "marguerites"
found? Do they come from seed, and
where can the true stocii be obtained?—
A. B.C.
—Marguerites are sometimes called
Paris daisies, at other times by their cor-
rect name, (Jhrysanthemum fruteseens.
They can be grown either from seed or
by purchasing young stock from dealers.
Write to some of the advertisers in this
paper if young stock is wanted.
(39) The Best Fertilizerfor Carna-
tions.—What is the best fertilizer for or
best method of feeding carnations to ob-
tain exhibition blooms such as are shown
by growers of novelties or to get best
general results in plenty of good flow-
ers?— A. D.
—The best fertilizer for carnations is
good rotted barnyard manure. Applied
as a mulch, mixed withthesoil and given
in liquid form — used in any or all of these
ways, there is no fertilizer that can beat
it. To feed the carnations at this season,
we would give liquid manure about once
a week.
(40) ToRootGazanlaSplendens.— I
am having bad luck in rooting Gazania
splendens. The cuttings dry or wither
up after being put in the sand, and do
not strike. I take the shoots from last
year's growth, they being strong-looking
and healthy. The parent plant is grow-
ing well and blooming all the time,
throwing plenty of side shoots.— A. B. C.
—Instead ot taking the last years
shoots for cuttings, the young and ten-
der side shoots should be used. Take
these and put them in the sand; then in-
close them in a temporary frame to keep
them close, and they will root easily.
(41) Root Galls on Violet Plants.—
The roots of my violets are badly infested
with galls. Can you suggest some pre-
ventive for next year's stock? The plants
are grown in solid beds, 16 inches deep.
I intend to put on one more board to
raise the beds 7 inches high, leaving the
old soil. I do this for convenience to care
for them. Would there he any objection
to so doing? I also intend to procure
new stock of cuttings, so as to have clean,
healthy material to start with, and, of
course, new soil. — A Subscriber.
— The root galls, or nematodes, are not
considered detrimental to the vielet,
unless they are allowed to become too
numerous, which condition can be
brought about by using the same soil
year after year. In view of the fact that
the soil in your solid bed is badly infested
with nematodes, it would be folly to in-
troduce new soil on the top ot the old, as
the whole bed would soon be filled with
them and, similar or worse conditions
would prevail next year. Rather than
add another board to the sides and raise
the bed, we would throw out all the old
soli and replace It with new. This woold
mean perhaps a little extra cost and
labor, but the results would be surer and
more proQtable. Procure a new stock of
plants by all means; selection of stock
is the chief point toward success. To
propagate from weak or diseased plants
would give no satisfaction whatever.
But be sure the stock you do buy is bet-
ter than your own.
(41) Heating Capacity of Weathered
Boiler. — Please let me know how many
feet of y-inch pipe two Weathered No. .5
boilers will take care of. They are put
up so that one or both can be used. Is
12-inch pipe large enough for a smoke-
stack ?
—Two No. 5 Weathered boilers, double
dome, will take care of 3,000 ftet ot 2-
inch pipe It properly arranged, the piping
having proper grade and mains being
ample. All mains to be figured as heat-
ing surface and deducted from the 3,000
feet above mentioned.
Twelve-inch pipe is large enough for
smoke-stack if carried up about 25 feet
above the smoke outlet of boiler.-
Samuel Burns, of Thos. W. Weathered's
Sons.
(42) Trouble with Fuchsias and
Mignonette. — I herewith inclose sam-
ples of plants that I think are diseased;
one is ot a fuchsia, the other of mignon-
ette. I burn wood iu my heater; keep a
night temperature ot 45 degrees; venti-
late when possible and waterfrequentiy.
Are the spots on the mignonette due to
water? My house has on several occa-
sions been filled with smoke; is the trou-
ble the result of that"' I also have a
small bed of parsley that is affected with
the spot. What can I do to prevent it?
—J. W. V.
— By some oversight ttie diseased fuch-
sia leaves were omitted from the letter,
only thediseased mignonette leaves being
sent. The latter do not show signs of
any fungus, so that the spotting cannot
be due to a fungous disease. It seems
probable that the production of the
spots was due to the wood smoke, which
the correspondent's letter states occasion-
ally fills the house. Smoke of all kinds
is injurious to plants it they are exposed
to it long enough. With regard to the
fuchsia and parsley, it is possible that
they too are affected by the smoke, al-
though without specimens we cannot be
sure ot this point.— [Professor] Albert
F. Woods.
(43) Sowing Fern Seed.— Sow fern
seed as soon after it is gathered as possi-
ble. To be successful in raising ferns
from seed use 5-inch pots. First fill them
about two-thirds full with any rough
substance, such as broken clinker from
the ash-heap or broken sandstone. Over
this place some coarse sittings of soil,
then flu up with fine soil. If leaf soil can
be had, use it half and halt with ordi-
nary soil. Then water the mixture, and
after it has stood an hour or so sow the
seed, pressing it lightly, but do notcover
with soil. Cover the pot with paper to
exclude the light and never water the
pot on the surface. To keep the soil
moist, just hold the pot in water so as to
allow the rough material in the bottom
to becotne wet through the hole iu the
bottom of the pot. Do this daily and the
soil receives all the moisture necessary,
without having any water poured on the
surface. When the seed germinates, it
willappparas a green scum on the sur-
face ol the soil. As soon as it seems thick
enough to hang together, prepare shal-
low flats and transplant the seedlings.
To accomplish this, do not handle the
youugternswiththeflngers; use a rather
blunt-pointed knife, and lift them in
pieces about the size of a 10 cent coin
ancl press them on to thesoil in the flats.
They can again be divided in a similar
manner when they get large enough.
Keep them in a rather high temperature
— 65 degrees at night if possible — and be
very careful in watering, never allowing
them to become dry, and at all times
keep a moist atmosphere by sprinkling
the paths, etc.
(44) Heating. — We are building a
greenhouse 20% by 40 feet, 4i/i-toot walls,
double boards and paper between, 11
feet to ridge, even span. How many runs
ot 4.inch wrought iron pipe under side
benches and across rear end to expansion
tank in center will it take to heat the
house to 50 or 52 degrees iu zero weather ?
We wish to use one (low to two returns.
Or if we use one 2-inch flow to one4-
inch return, how many runs ot each
does ittake to heat to that temperature?
— H. B. & S.
— If the heater is ot suitable size there
should be no troublein heating the house
with one flow and two returns on each
side. If one 4-inch return is used on each
side of the house, three 2-inch flows will
be required foreach return, or two 2-inch
flows and two 41nch returns on each
side may be used. Instead of using 4-
inch pipe, it will be better to use five 2
inch pipes on each side, ot which either
one or two may be flows.
h. R. Taft.
I wish to build two greenhouses 90 feet
long, 20 feet wide, each 12 feet to ridge,
even span, wooden walls, no glass in side
walls. One house is to be used for grow-
ing roses and the other tor carnations.
They must run eastand west on account
of the location of the ground, though
there is room to build running a little to
the south. Would tlie house on the north
side be shaded too much by the other?
Theground being level, would it be better
to build only one house, say 125 feet long,
20 feet wide, %-span ? Could such a house
or the two connected, even span, be heated
by a coil boiler? I can go only about 4
feet under the level for the heater, on ac-
count ot reaching water. How should
the two houses connected and the three-
quarter-span house be piped to give a tem-
perature ot 60 degrees in zero weather?
I would preferto use 2-inch pipe for flows
and returns.- J. F.
— There will be some trouble from the
shade ot the south house, but it will be
lessened if it is built only 11 feet high,
while it will be desirable to have the
walks alongthewailsof the north house.
Another method is to have a space of 12
feet between the houses. If other houses
are to be built, it would be advisable to
have them at least 125 feet long, but two
houses will be better than one it both
roses and carnations are to be grown.
A coil boiler can be used it desired and
with overhead flow pipes will give good
results. Any of the housescan be heated
to 60 degrees by means ot 14 2-inch
pipes, of which three or four should be
Hows. If but 50 degrees are desired in
one house, 10 pipes will be sufficient.

Again this has proven the most prolific and profitable
variety we ever grpw, giviog^ ussj far fully 75 percent,
more bloom than Ethel Crocker and eight other vari-
eties under the same conditions. On some 2HJ0 plants
not a single split calyz, where Crocker and some others
have split badly. Flowers as large as Scott, very fra-
grant; a fine shadeof light rose-pink. After flveyears^
trial it has proved the best all-around variety we have ever grown. Have discarded Scott.

nation ot $2.5,000 to Wellesley College by
H. H. Hunnewell for the endowment of
a department of botany.
Photographs of made-up work, floral
decorations for weddings, etc., of win-

Cornelius Van Brunt, samples of whose
beautiful photographic work, colored by
Mrs. Van Brunt, were thrown on the
screen during Dr. Britton's lecture at the
New York convention of the S. A. F. O.
H., has been appointed Honorary Floral
Photographer lor the New York Botan-
ical Garden.
CoFFespondents and those making
inquiries to be answered througti the

minded that no attention will be paid
to anonymous communicatious.
There is no earthly reason why any
one should be afraid or ashamed tu
attach his name to his letter — not nec-
essarily for publication, but as an evi-
dence of bona fides.
The Executive Committee of the Amer-
ican Seed Trade Association, at a meet-
ing ou January 28, voted to hold the
niueteenth annual convention ot the as-
sociation at Rochester, N. if., June
11-13, 1901. The hotel is notyet chosen,
that being left with Mr. W. J. Mande-
ville to select. Members who expect to
attend should at ouce write Mr. Mande-
ville to engage rooms, as tney are al-
ready being rapidly taken.
In an article appearing in the London
Garden ol January 19 last dealing
with the subject of the" Origin ol the Hy-
brid Nympbeas," V. W. Burbidge makes
the following rather startling announce-
ment: "So lar as 1 know but few, it any,
seedlings are raised in America from
American-sown seed, and there is a won-
derful Marliacean ' look ' or appearance
about some of the so-called American
seedling water lilies." Mr. Burbidge
evidently needs some enlightenment, and
this our water lily experts are no doubt
in a position to supply.
To break the dullness of barrack life
the French authorities have decided to
provide, in the case ot regiments recruited
mainly from the agricultural districts,
familiar lectures on agricultural and hor-
ticultural topics. Tne soldiers are under
no obligations to attend these meetings,
but at the end of the course they visit
agriculturalexperimentstations or other
establishments to seecarried out in prac-
tice what they have been told In the class
room, and wnere also they may have the
opportunity of practicing for themselves
the art of grafting, whicn is of so much
importance in the vine-growing districts.
Books, pictures, diagrams aud lantern
illustrations are supplied.
Patrick O'Mara was not reappointed
as one of the trustees to manage Mrs.
Byler's school when a vacancy occurred
which would have made itpossibie to re-
store him to the board. He was juggled
out of the reorganized board last year by
what pure politeness permits to be de-
scribed as a bunco game. That the .State
School for Girls is in a better condition
to-day than it has been in years is due to
the work which Mr. U'Mara did while he
was in that board. If there is ever a
Democratic Governor of this State, he
will probably honor the best appointee
a RepubUcan Governor ever put in that
place. — Jersey City Evening Journal.

was born In Gratfield Paris, county
ot Suffolk, England, April 10, 1816.
He learned the business of a gardener

Flowers at Queen Victoria's
Funeral.
In the royal borough of Windsor black
and purple drapery is beginning to cover
the antiquated houses. A small crowd
gathered Wednesday afternoon to view
the wreaths sent from Osborne and
placed around the ancient cloister adjoin-
ing St. George's Chapel. The display
ranges from masses of flowers, made up
In crosses and crowns, and rare blossoms
that are the gifts of royal personages,
down to bumble pieces sent in by chil-
dren. Several thousand floral pieces, in-
cluding tokens from members of the aris-
tocracy, clubs, cities, societies, regiments,
inmates ot workhouses, and even the
smallest nosegays, are laid out tor public
view. Some of the flowers are fading,
but every express brings fresh additions.
The hospital ship Maine has sent a
beautiful shield, the design being the
American colors in violets, geraniums
and white Sowers, surmounted by an
eagle in deep violets, the whole being 12
feet high. The American Society in Lon-
don has sent a bouquet ot lilac and lily
ot the valley. An Indian rajah has sent
an order to London tor a wreath to cost
anything up to £200 ($1,000).
Wreaths have been arriving so unceas-
ingly that it was found necessary to ex-
clude visitors from the Dean cloister,
where the wreaths are being displayed
as the increasing Inflow of visitors inter-
fered with the work ot unpacking and
arranging the tributes.
Lady Henry Somerset sent a beautiful
wreath, bearing the inscription, "In be-

Market Notes.
We have had very disagreeable
weather the past week, which has had a
tendency to curtail somewhat the de-
mand tor flowers. More particularly has
this been felt with regard to violets. The
supplies comingin aremoderately heavy,
and on days when the weather was too
stormy tor the street venders to operate,
the stock accumulated in the hands of
the dealers, consequently there has been
a decided tall In prices. The quantity o(
roses is increasing slightly ; still not near
thenumber is arriving thatusually comes
in at this time ot the year. The demand
for them is anything but what it ought
to be; there seems to be no vim to the
trade in roses compared with what It
was two or three weeks ago. Ot course,
prices are held pretty stiff, and retailers
can hardly be expected to speculate
heavily with values ranging around the
15c. mark tor Bride and Bridesmaid.
Some specially fine blooms are received,
for which 20c. and 25c. is asked. These
are of a select grade and are not to be
classed with those usually termed spe-
cials, as they are far above the specials
sent in by nine-tenths of rose growers In
general. Top grades ot American Beauty
clear out much easier than the shorter-
stemmed stock; the supply, however, is
only limited. Golden Gate bring from
15c. each down, according to quality.
President Carnot fetch from 10c. down
to 4c.
Carnations move only fair; good Wil-
liam Scott will bring $2 per 100, but
there are plenty coming in that only real-
ize $1 or less. The Marquis and Ethel
Crocker when good fetch $4 and $5 per
100.
Cattleyas are meeting with a good de-
mand just now. Dendrobium tormosum
is not so plentiful as it was, and brings
from $3 to $4 per do/.en.
Lily ot the valley realizes from $1.50
to $3, special stock sometimes reaching
$4. In the prices of the general run of
bulbous stock such as tulips, narcissus
and Roman hyacinths, there has been no
apparent change since last week.
Lilies are a somewhat scarce article
and the perfect blooms find ready sale.
The disease seems to bemuch worse than
It was last year; many growers who ex-
pected to be cutting heavily by this time
have been sadly disappointed at the
manner iu which the bulbs have failed to
produce results. Lilac is on hand at sev-
eral wholesale houses, and the prevailing
price of It is from $1 to $1.25 per bunch.
Mignonette is becoming rather draggy,
aud ordinary spikes have gone down as
low as $1 per 100. A few very choice
spikes, however, remain at the top figure
quoted.

Things in General.
The local journal chroniclers refer
to the present as " betweeu-times in so-
ciety." This condition is actual as re-
gards the lack of festive orders among
tne craft. The calls for funeral flowers
have also been light, so business is quiet.
Flowers show up in quantities sutHcient
for every-day demands. The weather
has taken on a more wintry tone, with
light snows, but is comparatively mild
withal.
Pan-American Notes.
Beginning Friday next, a half price
admission fee of 25c. will be charged at
the Pan-American Exposition. On all
recent days that were not actually in-
clement, the sight-seeing crowds there
have been large. The growing appear-
ance of progression produces impres-
sions of a favorable nature, and new en-
thusiasm on the prospective beauty and
fascination features that this affair in its
ample proportions must attain natu-
rally takes fresh hold of the senses. The
Horticultural Building proper now looms
up large in every way. Two mammoth
foyers or vestibules of gracefully curved
outlines and connecting this building
with other structures, glass roofed in
large part and steam heated, will serve
as conservatories, and are already occu-
pied by a showing of Southern growths,
mostly tub and large box stock, (or later
out-door ornamentation. The happy
effects of the vari-coloringol all the build-
ings becomes more striking as the.v pro-
ceed. As a decided departure in the
treatment of the like, the strength and
delicacy of colors that must here come
as a result of the carefully applied effects
of noted artists in this line can only be
comprehended when seen In the flnisli.
While everywhere flowers, foliage and
grass, fountains, Niagara's electricity ad
libitum, and midways, as never before
even dreamed of, will all contribute to a
tout ensemble that will do credit to this
nation.
Visitors.
On Sunday last quite an influx of
visiting craftsmen favored us with a call.
It was a crowd headed from Chicago,
that included J.C. Vaughan, Kred Kanst
and M. Barker, accompanied by H. B.
Beatty.of Oil City. Messrs. Vaughan and
Beatty tarried less than a day, looking
over the Exposition, while Barker and
Kanst went to Toronto. Benjamin Dor-
rance, of Dorranceton, Pa., who spent
several days here this week, speaks en-
thusiastically about rose-growing in

Newport, R. I.
The Newport Horticultural .Society's
annual ball takes place February la, and
at the meeting to be held on March 6
John K. M. L. Farquhar, of Boston, will
read a paper on "China" (illustrated).
To this meeting members and invited
guests only are to be admitted. This
step has been found necessary owing to
the limited seating capacity of the meet-
ing room (Sanborn Hall).
Easter lilies with most of our growers
are making a very irregular growth, but
happily, so far, show very little signs of
disease.
Caruations are proving very unsatis-
factory, many plants having given out
entirely, owing to stem rot, the white
varieties being most affected. For this
cause one grower has been compelled to
close up two houses entirely. The hot,
dry Summer and late benching are given
as the probable causes of the trouble.
Henry J. Hess has moved his flower
store from No. 234 Thames .Street, to
more modern quarters at No. 196 on the
same street.
David Gordon, formerly of Newport,
l)ut at present established at James-
town, R, I., has made an assignment.

Market Report.
Business the past week has been
all that could be desired. The wholesale
liouses cleared out early oT a very fair
quantity of stock; this, of course, indi-
cates a good retail trade. In some lines
there has been a shortage, notably in
white flowers, especially white roses.
Prices have not changed to any great ex-
tent. The best still bring 8c. American
Beauty are not plentiful, and bring $4
per dozen. Carnations are in full sup-
ply, ranging In price from IVic. to 3c. A
few Uarrisii lilies are seen, and sell at $2
per dozen. Violets are very plentiful at
40c. per 100. Bulbous stock is in good
supply, with rather a low price on same.
Notwithstanding a very open and sun-
shiny Winter, roses in this section seem
to have run poorer in quality and pos-
sibly less In quantity than usual. This
is no doubt partly accounted for by the
large amount of glass formerly devoted
to rose-growing being given over to car-
nations. We would not be surprised to
see these conditions reversed before long.
Notes.
The St. Louis Real Estate Exchange
has organized a tree-planting bureau,
patterned somewhat after the New York
one. Printed matter has been ciiculated,
block committeemen appointed, and sev-
eral streets assigned to different nursery-
men to canvass, with a view of trying to
get the property owners to fill up all
vacant spaces with trees. Size and kinds
will be left entirely to the property own-
ers, the main object of the exchange and
the projectors of the scheme being to get
trees planted. We hope the idea will be
a success, as this city can very well stand
a lot more trees.

Tbe Market.
Thedemandforstock the past week
was rather unusual, and several times
the supply was not suflicient to meet it,
particularly of roses and carnations.
The volume of trade was fair, there being
quite a lot of luneral work. Prices are
stiff. Hoses bring from $6 to $ir> per
100. American Beauty roses are mighty
scarce. Carnations realize about $5 for
good ones, although lots are sold at 50c.
per dozen in the markets. The quality
is very good. Tulips seem plentiful, sell-
ing at from 75c. per dozen up. Paper
White narcissus are very abundant and
hard to dispose of. Sweet peas and Hlacs
have been on the market tor a few weeks,
but are high in price. Harrlsii lilies are
still coming in slowly. The disease seems
to be as bad as ever it was with some
growers, the loss therefrom being very
great. Lilium longiflorum look all right,
and a great many ^ill be ou the market
in due time.
News Notes.
The last wteek we experienced some
wintry weather, not too severe, but it
checked plant trade somewhat.
W. C. lieckert, the Allegheny seedsman,
accompanied by his wife, left for New
York, and will sail on the Augusta Vic-
toria, January 31, for an extended trip
to the Mediterranean and the Orient.
They expect to be gone for three or four
months.
The Klopters, on Spring Hill, Allegheny,
have quit the greenhouse and florist busi-
ness. The greenhouses were lately torn
down and sold.
J. E. Rolker, of New York, was a vis-
itor the past week; Arnold Ringier, of
Chicago, also spent several days in town
on business.

The Market.
January just ending has been a re-
markable month as regards the weather.
With 30 clear days and the temperature
ranging from 26 to 40 degrees, why
should stock be so scarce'? Roses selling
at $10 per 100 wholesale and carna-
tions at $4 ought to be an Inducement
for some man of means to Invest in this
line. The local growers have not pro-
duced more than 20 per cent, of the stock
demanded this month; and the 10 retail
stores found It necessary to draw on the
commission bouses of Chicago and St.
Louis.
The interest In carnations increases,
and it is pleasing to bear the customers
call tor the best. The most successful
growers in this locality have been hold-
ing to the varieties Triumph, G.H. Crane,
Flora Hill and Mrs. George M. Bradt for
main crops. At one establishment we
noticed several houses of carnations
planted on solid beds as an experiment.
This maybe all right, but wefound good
stems topped by flowers IV^ inches In
diameter. The grower blamed the soil
for his small blooming, but this seems
rather an expensive manner in which to
test the productiveness of soil.
Harrlsii lilies have given cause for com-
plaint this year by their stubby growth.
This may be due to the presence of the
disease, but seemingly is not so in all
cases, for in some establishments the
stems are of good length and plants still
affected. More Harrlsii lilies are being
grown this season than in 1900.
In Roman hyacinths, narcissus, daffo-
dils and Dutch bulbs the stock laid in
was from 25 to 30 per cent, of an in-
crease over last year. The demand for
and stock of narcissus is better than in
many years, and the quality is excellent.
In this section the hyacinth is the staple
for design work. The stock of tulips
seems to be about equal to that of last
year. Those on the market now are of
poor quality. It Is the old story of forc-
ing them along to get a few sorry blooms.
The prospects tor a good supply of
plants for Easter are excellent. D.

The Question of Color Relative to Flowers.
BY F. SCHUYLER MATHEWS.
PART I.
What is such and such a color and
what is the best name for it? This is a
constantly recurrinjj question in both
social and business conditions o( life, and
it must be admitted that it is a pretty
difficult one to answer so far as the gen-
eral public is concerned. But I think the
florist meets with the greatest difficulty
when he faces the problem, and the bot-
anist is not far behind him. In both
these professions, it is apparent that a
man is brought face to face with an in-
finite variety of hues among flowers, and
he has nothing — no principle, no stand-
ard of measurement, no tangible means,
in fact — whereby he may accurately de-
termine what a color is and properly
name it.
This is a sweeping assertion, no doubt,
but I do not think it is necessary for me
to demonstrate the truth of it by many
facts. These tacts, 1 am persuaded, will
become apparent as we progress in the
investigation of the subject. We must
remember that much depends upon the
Fig I— a spot of color thrown on white paper
by a prism.
point of view. I have said that there is
no standard of measurement at our dis-
posal. It would be nearer the truth to
say there is no acknowledged standard
ia universal use. Let me illustrate the
state of the case. I take a sample of red
which I have ascertained to be the nor-
mal, absolutely pure red by scientific
analysis, and show it to an artist; he
calls it lake. I show the same color to
an ornithologist — he calls itcardinal; the
florist (thinking of his p>r?ox) says scar-
let; the botanistsays crimson; the dress-
maker, intense cerise; the chemist, aliza-
rine; the color manufacturer, carmine.
There are points of view enough to
spread dire confusion among the general
public regarding the name of one color
alone.
The proper n»me for the color ought
tobepurered. But I know of no univer-
sally accepted standard which would
make that name law. There are enough
of color charts in this country and Eu-
rope to satisfy the most eager sludent
who has a predilection for that sort of
thing, but it does not appear that all, or
even many of them, agree, and so long
as they do not agree, as standards they
must signally fail.
Now, if we begin with some simple fun-
damental principle of color which every-
body can understand and put to a prac-
tical test, we will adopt the wisest
method of solving the color problem,
until it is ultimately settled by arbitra-
tion in some convention of competent
judges. It is my hope that before long

the Society of American Florists will
adopt a comprehensive standard of color
which shall be formulated by a specially
appointed committee of its members.
Meantime let us turn to the prism as a
fair starting-point for a nomenclature of
color, a sort of optical demonstration to
back It up. Any onecan possess a prism;
every prism will show the same colors
under allconditions. Fig. 1 is a diagram
of a splotch of color thrown on white
paper in some darkened corner; nearly
halt the splotch, you see, Is violet, almost
a third is green, and the balance is red.
The tout ensemble is, then, violet, green,
and red. It is hard to put your tiuger on
blue or yellow; they e.'clst as mere lines
of color separating the other three. But

Fig 3 — Eight colors founded upon the prisma-
tic hues each of which except green is repre-
sented by a flower.
if we have three colors with certiiinty,
it will not be so difficult to reach two or
even a dozen more. A close examination
of the yellow line which merges into red
on one side and green on the other
shows a color resembling that of a
lemon-skin. The intangible blue mergel
between green and violet resembles sky-
blue. In Fig. 2 we record the colors thus
obtained in anideal diagram of five hues.
But we detect one additional fairly well-
located hue in our splotch of prismatic
color which we can justly call red-violct;
we might as well call this purple, for cer-
tainly purple is a redder hue than violet.
Not, one very familiar simple hue is miss-
lug in our prismatic demonstration —
where is the color to match the orange-
skin? It is missing, and we must supply
it, together with a gold color. We do so
in Fig. 3, and obtain eight colors which
are a fair groundwork for a colornomen-
clature, bearing in mind that these are
approximately pure colors— generic ones.
Suppose, now, we substitute flowers for
the colors obtained; here is the result:
Pure red equals carnation (match Home va-
riety with the prismatic red).
Pure orange equals eschecholtzia and mari-
gold (dcepe^t hued).
Pure gold equals calendula, or sunflower.
Pure yellow equals evening;: primrose
(UCaothera biennis)).
I'ure green equals the pigment called Paris
or emerald green.
Pure blue equals forget-me-not, but it is
dilute blue.
Pure violet equals English violet, but it is
dilute violet.
Pure purple equals cineraria, reddish-violet
tone.
Cinerarias also show purest violet.
Phlox Drummondli gladioli and poppies
pure red, and pausies pure purple. But
we will find no difficulty as we proceed
in identifying colors both pure and mixed
among flowers, and giving them correct
names. The question is. How are we to

reduce the Infinite number of names the
majority of which are absolutely useless?
In the first place, we must settledefinitely
upon a certain range of pure, unmixed
colors, and upon these as a basis build
as many specific names as we please.
These unmixed orpurecolors are generic;
all others are specific. Fig. 4 enlarges
the scheme of generic hues, leaving out
green and its juxtaposed hues, which are
hardly present in flowers. Golden-yel-
low is the commonest of all yellows, and
it is the prevailing hue of sunflowers.
Golden-orange and orange-scarlet pre-
vail in the nasturtiums, scarlet in can-
nas, crimson, magenta, and purple in
cinerarias, ultramarine in larkspur and
scilla. Blue is the rarest color of all in
flowers.
In the next article we will endeavor to
sweep away the rubbish of unsuitable
names, and confine ourselves to a scien-
tific buildingup of a nomenclature found-
ed on the simple rangeof prismatic color.
Field Mice Vegetarians.
Editor Florists^ Exchange.
In a recent issue of your paper I ob-
served an inquiry in the" Question Box"
relating to ground mice in the carnation
house, the remedy given being "Rough
on Rats" and bread and butter.
Now, no self-respecting, well-regulated
ground mouse will condescend to partake
of such plebeian fareas that. Sincehe left
thegreenhouse last Spring he has been rev-
eling in the sweetest of nature's produc-
tions—wild flowers. Hesampled the first
flowers of Spring, and has been having
his choice of the best in wood or field
until Jack Frost sent him into the green-
house again. And you expecthim to eat
bread and butter. Bread and butter,
forsooth ! when he can extract the elixir
of life from the calyx of Mrs. Thomas W.
Lawson or Genevieve Lord, and, if he
wishes, a stronger brand of nectar from
the calyx of William Scottas a nightcap.
Remember, this variety of mouse has evo-
luted far enough to be minus the most of
the caudal appendage. Let this unso-
phisticated carnation grower procure a
can of the choicest green peas and mix
these with a little Rough on Rats or
strychnine and scatter them broadcast
on benches and under benches, and he
will get rid of all kinds of mice, besides
snails and sow bugs, also chickens, his
own or his neighbor's. John Biknie.
Poinsettias at Christmas.
Editor Florists'" Exchange:
"Oh, wad some poo'er the giftie gie us
To see oorsels as ithers sets us.
It wfld frae mony a blunder free us,
And foolish notion."
I was forcibly reminded of Burns' oft"
(luoted lines, written about 120 years
ago, when reading Mr. Bebbington'svery
interesting letter on my old acqnantance,
the poinsettia. In Thk Florists' Ex-
change of January 12; and with all due
respect to a brother gardener's well con-
sidered and instructive remarks, I would
like to be permitted to state some facts
about " thatremarkableand magnificent
plant" which your correspondent seems
to have overlooked or was not ac-
quainted with. Poinsettia pulcherrima
and I were introduced to the gardening
world the same year, the former by Mr.
Poinsett, from whom it derivesits generic
name, who discovered it during his trav-
els in Mexico, a country not so well
known to botanists or naturalists then
as now. My first personal acquaintance
with the plant in question was when I
went as anunder gardener to Largo gar-
dens, Scotland, in 1852, where it had
been grown for some years before that
date by Thomas Blair, head gardener
there, who has occupied a similar posi-
tion at Shrubland Park, England, for
many years past, his skill as a veteran
horticulturist and plantsman being well
known to British gardeners on both sides
of the Atlantic. The nomadic life of a
young gardener took me to England in
18.54, where at the Royal Botanic Gar-
dens, Kew, I found two species of poin-
settia, one with yellowish bracts, but it
never was such a favorite for decorative
purposes as P. pulcherrima has asserted
itself to be.
I began business us a retail florist in
New York City in 186;^, under the firm
name of Beattie& Foulis,and it is rather
amusing to he told by Mr. Bebbington
at the beginning of this twentieth centu-
ry that we are still 32 years behind the
London florists so far as the poinsettia
is concerned. I wonder If that is a jocu-
lar remark on the part of that gentle-
man, or does he really believe it ? If this
had been said about country towns, such
as Philadelphia, Chicago or Boston,
there might be some truth in it; but to
tell New Yorkers, denizens of the second
city in the world as to population, but
first as to progresssive enterprise, that
they are 32 years or any space of time
behind dear old foggy, smoky London,
except for sunrises and sunsets, will be
news indeed to many of your readers.
Why, Mr. Editor, 38 years ago we
dreaded the consignments of poinsettias
sent in for Christmas and New Year's
work, the supply, as a rule, far exceeding
the demand. We got rid of our surplus
stock by cutting the bractsinto sections,
UHing them witn other foliage tor edging
large baskets of flowers. The decorative
part of the plant showedasskillful treat-
ment, and was quite as well developed
then as I have seen it of late years.
Our commercial growers now devote
their time, their capital and their skill
more to the production of orchids, roses,
carnations, violets, etc., placing tliem on
the market for the holidays in a style
and profusion that it would be impossi-
ble tor London florists to emulate, unless
theirmidwiuter sun has got to be a good
deal brighter and wanner since I lived
there.
The late Robert Buist, of Philadelphia,
sent out a double poinsettia in 1870, but
it never was a favorite with the trade
and could not displace the old showy P.
pulcherrima. 1 saw the former plant
growing on the late Isaac Buchanan's
place at Astoria, but regarded it more as
a curiosity than a commercial acquisi-
tion.
Notting Hill can scarcely be rated as a
suburb of London, but Acton, some six
miles further west, will continue to be
one until the great city swallows it up.
I thank Mr. Bebbington for his letter. It
recalled many reminiscences of my seven
and a halt years of gardening life in Eng-
land and Wales, and sunny memories of
the many tine young fellows with whom
I was associated during that time.

Nicoticide.
Editor Florists' Exchange.
In your Issue of January 5, under the
heading "Question Box," we note your
reply to a correspondent who wishes to
know something about Nicoticide. We
have not seen any further answer from
users of this compound, in your paper as
invited by you, but we take the liberty
of sending you a copy of a letter which
appeared in American Gardening of Janu-
ary 12, and which appears to us to
answer your quei ist most fully.
We have not the pleasure of knowing
Mr. Craig, but he seems to have made a
very careful and intelligent test of our
compound, and we need hardly say that
we appreciate very highly his public
spirit in making this entirely disinter-
ested report.
The Tobacco Warehousing and Trad-
ing Co., by A. E. Kei.k, Director.
Copy Of Letter Referred To.
Some inquiries having been lately ad-
dressed asking if I could recommend the
use of the recently introduced fumigating
extract "Nicoticide," the following par-
ticulars are offered: We first tried it at
the advertised strength on a house of
gardenias; all the mealy bugs and aphis
were killed. We placed some tender
plants In the house to note its effect, and
found that young fronds on Adiantums
cuneatum and Farleyense sustained in-
jury; no other plants suffered at all. We
next tried it on two dormant lean-to
graperies which bad figs on the back
walls. The latter harbored some mealy
bugs, but we have not found a living bug
since the fumigation. Our only other
trial wason a houseof violetswhlch con-
tained a little red spider and green aphis.
Both of these were killed outright, while
plants were uninjured.
So far as our experiments have gone,
mealy bug, black and green aphis, and
red spider have been killed, and the only
injury done was to theadiantum fronds
named. Nikoteen "Aphis Punk," while
safe to use on almost all classes of plants,
will injure adiantums somewhat.
We believe " Nicoticide" will prove a
valuable addition to our fumigating
compounds. Of course further experi-
ence is needed, but it Is cheaper and much
safer to usethan hydrocyanic gas, which
has recently found much favor as an in-
sect destroyer. W. N. Craig.

Borers in Trees.
Editor Florists' Exchange:
In the article on "Borers in Trees" (Jan-
uary 5) appears the following : " The haw-
thorn is attacked at the bnse." I have
never seen cratjegus attacked by Saptrda
Candida or any other borer at the base; but
the beautiful little Saperda Fayll is quite
plentiiul here, attacking the branches.
Paper, building or tar preferred, put on
apple trees an inch underground and 4 to

will not prevent the seven other species of
borers (rom attacking the trunli and
branches of the apple tree. One of the
most destructive borers and one hard lo
And in time to prevent loss from its depre
dations is the hard maple borer, Clytus
speciosus, which attacks both trunk and
branches. As the forests disappear the
insects, like the farmers' boys, go to the
city. There is a beautiful little moth,
Nephoteryx(Pinipe.st)s)Zimmermani,with
a taste for turpentine, as it lives on pine,
which is so destructive as to be a great
nuisance in our nurseries, attacking nearly
all varieties. The knife is the best remedy.
I have also found a parasitic fly which
may in time keep it in check. The moth
is about an inch in length, of a reddish
brown and gray color, imitating the shade
of young pine bark scales so closely as to
require good eyes to discover the pest in
July and August. The exuding gum
readily designates the lay of the larvas.
There are about sixty species of borers on
pine, twenty-five on oak, ten on maple,
thirty on hickory, etc.

BRIEFS FOR BUSY FLORISTS.
Carnations. — As the days are gradu-
ally becoming longer, wecan afford more
ventilation — that Is, we can keep the
ventilators open for a longer period dur-
ing the day. We can also be more llDeral
in the matter of feeding. Where forcing
for the holidays was not practiced, the
plants are making strong growth and,
at the same time, are throwing plenty of
flowers; a light mulch of well-rotted
manure (It it has not already been given)
will help greatly In sustaining the plants.
Cuttings should be taken at every oppor-
tunity until the requisite number has
been rooted. Select only the best and
strongest, and take tbera from those
plants that have shown a disposition to
be floriferous, if possible. With regard
to the treatment of the cuttings after
they are rooted they can be taken care of
equally well In flats, or potted up singly.
Where there is a likelihood of disease of
any kind showing among the plants, the
potting method is to be preferred, as
there is then notso great an opportunity
lor the trouble to be transmitted from
one plant to another. IE no disease is
apparent and the stock is to be i)Ianted
in the field at theflrstfavorable moment,
then the flat method is just as good and
saves a great amount of labor, as well
as bench space, until the plants go out-
doors. Should a part of the stock be in-
tended for indoor culture through the
Summer, the plants must be potted and
given a shift into larger-sized pots when
that becomes necessary; as when once
they become root-bound in the small
pots they receive a set-back that takes
them a long time to overcome.
KosEs.— The propagating of stock for
next season should be pushed along as
fast as possible. Do not hesitate to use
blind wood lor cuttings. Such cuttings
make just as good plants as those from
any other wood. The removal of the
blind wood from the old plants is, in a
great measure, beneficial, letting in more
lightandairamong the crowded benches.
A mulch of good cow or stable manure
should be applied to all the rose beds
unless systematic feeding with liquid ma-
nure is adopted; in the latter case the
mulch is hardly necessary. Where feeding
with lUjuid is the rule, the best results
will follow when theliquid is given weak
and often, instead of in strong doses at
long intervals.
YoiTNG PALMS for growing on while in
the small stage are to be bad so cheap
that every one who has greenhouse room
at disposal through the Summer months
could, if desired, grow a large portion of
his own stock of plants needed for next
Winter's sales. Stock procured now and
potted along, then plunged in some mate-
rial such as spent hotbed manure or
hops, on the greenhouse bench, and kept
in abriskgrowing tempera turefrom now
on right through the Summer, will make
good salable plants for next season.
Lilies.— The main points now should
be to keep the lilies free from aphis by
constantly Ugbtlugthepestwlth tobacco
and to have the plants showing buds by
the first week in March. Watch these
two things and the lilies will be all right
for Kaster.
.Some of the seeds that should be
sown now. If not already done, are petu-
nias, pyrethrum, lobelia, salvia, double
sweet alyssum and Draciena indlvlsa.
Ulahiolub. — When forcing these for
eari.v flowering, it is well to bear in mind
that the white, or light colored varieties
only are wanted In any (juaulity. Where
part of a bench can be devoted to them,
they can be planted quite close together,
and can be made a very profitable crop.
Smilax. — This is the time to sow a
good batch of smilax seed. While it is not
absolutely necessary to replant the smi-
lax bed every year, it is advantageous to
have a portion of the bed filled with new
plants each season. By sowing seed
now, nice young stock will be on hand
when the time for renovating the smilax
bed arrives.
Pandanus Sanderi.
When, on Jan. 4. I bade Mr. Kisele of
Dreer's, Riverton, N. J., bon voyage on the
eve of his departure for Europe, I won-
dered what that far-away expression

upon bis face betokened. All speculation
is setat rest by his return wlthacasccon-
taining,not a gold brick, but specimens of
the new golden pandanus {P. Sanderi),
o1 which he has secured the entire stock.
At first sight of this glorious production
of the tropics one stands, as it were, spell-
bound, and the first thought is. Is this
real or artifleial? Could nature produce
such a wonder? The beauty of the plant
grows upon one, as it were. The soft
golden glow pervading it ajipeals to the
finest sense of color. This sheen, con-
spicuous in the smallest sucker, gradually
becomes stronger, attaining a mellow
tint of charming richness. A remarkable
feature in this plant is that while this
golden hue is strongly evident in the
t.vpe, yet no two plants are similarly
variegated, thus giving us a distinct form
nndclassof variegated decorative plants.
Placed side by side with a perfectly
grown specimen of Pandanus Veitchii,

beautiful coloring, a distinctive advan-

tage, its it retains this color even in the
old leaves, while, as is well known, P.
Veitchii has a tendency to lose Its varie-
gation.
The style of growth of P. Sanderi is
all that can be desired, as will be seen in
the accompanying picture. It combines
both a spiral and recurving habit. Its
hardy constitution is vouched for, and
its desirability asa decorative plant was
one of the magnets that attracted the
attention of .Mr. Eisele, who feels positive
that under our strong light the plant
will attain even greater perftction in
color and form, if such be possible, than
has been accomplished by Messrs. Sander
& Co.
P. .Sanderi has been elaborately de-
scribed by the principal European horii-
cultural journals. One of these, Moller's
Deutsche Giirtner Zeitung,in a well-writ-
ten article, expresses my opinion exactly,
excepting that by way of contrast the
writer compares the superior coloring of
Draciena Linden! to that of D. Alassan-
geana, whereas, to my mind, the coloring
of the variegated pineapple (Ananassu
sativa var. ) would be more apijropriate.
Highest awards have been given it at
the Paris Exposition and by the Royal

Hardy Herbaceous Plants
for Florists.
(Conrtmlrtl I mm i>;i^c SI.)
Among the kinds that would be likely
to prove useful for the general florist to
plant and be allowed to bloom in their
natural season, taking them In the order
of flowering, are Pironla tenuirolia.
ofiicinalis and the Chinese section. Pieo-
nies are an exception to the general rule.
In the matter of replanting, the longer
Ibey are left undisturbed, with an occa-
sional top-dressing, the better they
flower; while most herbaceous perennials
come to their best the second and third
.vear after planting, and then gradually
become weedy and poor.
Iris. — When speaking of the Iris I always
have a tendency to become enthusiastic
in a way that would he liable to make
the average florist tired. Irises are un-
doubtedly beautiful, and possibly the
(iermanica section Is the most desirable
for the florist. Their one great fault Is
that they do not last, and are very poor
subjects to handle when cut.
Primulas. — When I first saw the Baby
primrose in the florists' stores the
thought came to me, 1 wonder it this is
not the advent ot many inoreot the same
family. Recausetherearebetween TOand
80 species, many ot them very beautiful
and adapted to florists' use, and yet very
few are known to the florists' trade.
H2
THB F'LORISTS' EXCHKNGE.
Iris K^mpferi.— While the Japanese
irises are in bloom other hardy perenni-
als must takea back seat. Like the Ger-
man Irises, their flowering season is brief,
but the style of beauty is so distinct that
if an Oriental style of decoration is de-
sired, no other flower could be used that
is so characteristic. While they thrive in
almost any locality, wet ground is neces-
sary to produce them to perfection.
Campanulas.— There is more than suffi-
cient material about this genus of plants
to form an essay of itself. The numer-
ous little alpine species are ideal subjects
for pot culture, but whether they will
ever become of real commercial value to
the American florist will only be known
by trial. The larger growing kinds, such
as Campanula grandiflora, Maresii, per-
sicifoiia, and vareties latlfolla and glo-
merata, are undoubtedly good subjects
tor cutting during the Summer.
Delphiniums.— The prevailing color ot
this genus alone should be sufiicient to
attract the florist. The commonest spe-
cies, with their varieties, are perhaps the
most useful. Delphinium formosum.escul-
ata and chinensis, sown early in
Spring, flower the first year from seed,
so that there is a reasonable possibility
ot flowering them during the Winter. In
fact, I have succeeded in doing this in
isolated cases; but if you have snails in
your establishment don't attempt it.
Phlox Decussata or Paniculata. —
This is undoubtedly a florists' flower,
and could it be flowered in Winter would
vie with the chrysanthemum in its use-
fulness. As it is. Its merits are winning
an increased popularity, as the many and
new varieties attest. A good many of
us think of it only as the old fashioned
phlox of pinkish purple and white. Now,
in good collections, can be seen a splen-
did range of form and color— from the
palest pink to the brightest crimson, and
from the delicate shades of violet and
lavender to the darkest purple. Very
pretty pot plants can be grown by
striking the young shoots as soon as
possible in Spring and growing them in
much the same manner as you would
a single-stemmed chrysanthemum, and
flowermg them in a four or five-inch pot.
When the retailer sells them he will have
the additional privilege of truthfully tell-
ing his customers that they are perfectly
hardy.
Japanese Anemones. — If there is area-
son why these beautiful Fall (lowering
plants should not be grown by the florist
I should like to hear it. With the possi-
ble exception that they bloom a little
ahead ot the activity of the flower mar-
ket, they are very little earlier than the
chrysanthemum. To be grown profita-
bly, the cut blooms will have to com-
mand a good price, as the production of
the Individual plant is limited. I have
found that the main points in the most
successful method of growing them are to
put in root cuttings aboutone inch long
during February or March and pot on as
required, shading them in hot weather
during the Summer, giving them abun-
dance of water, with good. drainage, and
being sure to look out for the blister
beetle during July.
The above are perhaps the best-known
and mostshowy of the hardy perennials,
but by no means represent all of those
useful to the florist. Such kinds as Lobe-
lia cardinalls, gaillardlas, pentstemon,
digitalis, Pyrethrum roseum and uligi-
nosum, Rudbeckia "Golden Glow," and
the speelosa section, Helianthus multi-
florus, Maximiiiani and orgyalls, are all
worthy of attention if there is any spare
ground around the establishment.
So far I have only written of the use-
fulness of those suitable for cut flowers
and pot culture, but there is a very large
trade done by florists in the way of rais-
ing plants for bedding purposes in the
Spring, and this is where the plants will
become most useful to the florist. The
want In the future ot the suburban home
will be a flower garden on natural lines,
and the florist will undoubtedly be called
upon to flll that want, either directly or
indirectly, as a substitute for the stereo-
typed Summer bedding plants of the
present day. For this purpose, the most
convenient way to handle the majority
of perennials is in pots, for obvious rea-
sons; they require less space, can be
packed and shipped to greater advan-
tage, and replanted almost at any time.
This applies moreespecially to the smaller
growing kinds. In nearly all cases it is
necessary to grow them one year from
seed or cuttings to bring them to flower-
ing size and fit them for the florists' mar-
ket. But no rule can be given to cover
them all, as they differ from each other
in BO many ways. With a wider knowl-
edge of them will come a more extensive
use.

pink, a little deeper than Daybreak; ex-
ceedingly tree flowering, with good
strong stems averaging 2i Inches. Size
of flower 2% to 3 inches. Grown under
same conditions as William Scott and
Lizzie McGowan, it has tor two seasons
produced more flowers than either from
an equal space. By Geo. W. Binstead,

Carnations at Dailledouze Bros.
If one wants to get a line upon the
progress that is making toward reach-
ing the ideal carnation, he could not do
better than pay a visit to the large
establishment of Dailledouze Bros, at
Fiatbush.N. Y. Hereare to be seen many
of the introductions of last year, also the
best up-to-date standard varieties, and
all cultivated with that care and skill
that are only attained after long experi-
ence and close study.
Of the older varieties grown in quanti-
ties and which will be retained as stand-
ard sorts are Cerise Queen, William Scott,
White Cloud, Flora Idill, General Maceo,
General Gomez, Eldorado, Mrs. George
M. Bradt and G. H. Crane.
Among varieties of last year's intro-
duction, there are two that do not find
favor here. Whether it is a question of
soil or location, or what, is hard to say,
but Ethel Crocker and The Marquis will
be discarded, as they have not proved
good enough. The former throws too
few perfect flowers, and the latter is too
tardy in coming into bloom. Mrs.
Thomas W. Lawson is doing finely, and
as a cerise pink, it is a jewel. Enquirer
is a beautiful soft pink, but is guilty of
bursting its calyx to a greater or less ex-
tent. Elinora is a good clear white, of
good size, the flower being carried on a
long stem. The petals are also eyeniy
fimbriated, adding much to the beauty
of the bloom. Genevieve Lord has proved
a good variety; while theflowers are not
large compared with some of the fancy
kinds, there is plenty of them, and its
nice color keeps it among the best of
sellers.
In the fancy class Prosperity is in ex-
cellent condition, and from the appear-
ance of the 35,000 cuttings that are
slowly rooting in the propagating house,
there is not the slightest doubt that
plenty ot prosperity, in the strictest sense
of the word, will be attendant on the
dissemination ot this wonderful variety.
The care with which this stock is being
propagated is worthy of more than pass-
ing mention. Every cutting that is put
in Is perfectly sound in every particular,
and the propagating house temperature
is kept normal, so that four weeks' time
is taken to establish roots. The brothers
are determined that every plant that is
sent out shall be a plant, and that not a
single weakling shall be perpetuated by
rooting the stock too quickly. The
flowering plants of this variety are send-
ing out immense, long-stemmed blooms.
They have passed their record ot last
year in length of stem by three or four
inches, and from our point of view, the
coloring in the petals has become more
Intense, adding, if that were possible, to
its effectiveness.
It is in the seedlings from this variety,
however, that much interest is centering.
There are some monster creations that
are of good color and form, as well as
being free from bursting the calyx. One
is a pure white, a child of Prosperity
and Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson, possessing
the form and size of both parents, with
a distinctcolorof its own. There are also
pink and scarlet colored flowers from
Prosperity that show great promise,
but, as the boys say, "you cannot tell
what they will amount to until tried a
second or third year." One that has been
so tested and will be an eye-opener when
put on exhibition, is an offspring from
Prosperity, and a counterpart of that
variety except in color, which is a bright
deep scarlet. No name has yet been
assigned to it, and It goesunderthe num-
ber of 33.
There are also three varieties that have
sported from Mrs. George M. Bradt
which seem worthy of notice, and stock
from them will probably be worked up.
One has the same markings as the parent,
but instead of the ground color being
white, it is pink; another one is a flower
of a delicate blush white, while the other
is a pure white.
No. 3 is another seedling that has been
watched with great Interest for the past
five years. Under the name of Blush, it
has becomea favorite with the New York
retailers, and it Is now being grown In
quantity. Its delicious clove fragrance
and beautiful shell pink coloring make
it, in our estimation, an almost ideal
carnation, and that others share the
same view was apparent when it took
the silver cup ottered by the Chicago Car-
nation Co. at Buffalo last February.
Delightis thenameof a nice pink variety;
not large enough to be called a fancy,
but of fair average size, and a great pro-
ducer.
In addition to carnations there is one
bouse devoted to sweet peas, several
houses to Easter lilies and marguerites.
Indianapolis.
Association Meeting,
The regular monthly meeting ot
the Florists' Association of Indiana will
be held Tuesday evening, February 5,
at E. A. Nelson's. The promoters of this
year's chrysanthemum show will report,
and a premium list on plants and cut
flowers, amounting to over $1,000, will
be handed to the society tor indorsement
or change if found advisable. The State
Fair people have requested the associa-
tion to go over the floriculture list and
make changes and additions if these are
deemed necessary.
The Fall Show,
The Executive (Committee in charge
of the Indiana Floral Festival and Chrys-
anthemum show held an important
meeting January 25. The committee,
as flnally constituted, consists of the fol-
lowing prominent merchants ot Indian-
apolis and well-known florists of the
State: President, Fred L. Mayer, of In-
dianapolis; first vice-president, H. P.
Wasson, Indianapolis; second vice-pres-
ident, J. S. Stuart, Anderson; secretary,
William G. Bertermann; treasurer, Wil-
liam F. Milholland ; directors, Fred Ayres,
E. K. Chapman, H. T. Hearsey, John
Bertermann, H. W. Rieman,all of Indian-
apolis; Fred Dorner, Sr., Lafayette, and
E. G. Hill, Richmond.
This committee will have full charge of
the festival, and a subscription list of a
good size is assured. All members of the
Indiana Florists' Association in good
standing will be admitted free to the
show. The second week in November,
5th to 9th, is the date decided on.
The Merchants' Association of Indiana
will oflScially indorse theinvitatlon given
by the Florists' Association to the Ameri-
can Carnation Society to meet in Indian-
apolis in 1902.
Recent Visitors.
Several parties on trips ot investi-
gation stopped oft in this city lately. A
Chicago flock, headed by our genial friend
Edgar Sanders, with Chas. Dickinson.
Anton Then and F. Felker, taking John
Bertermann from herewith them. They
came from Lafayette and headed for
Richmond and other places. It seems
their "grip" was too much for our friend
Gurney, as he felt the trouble coming on
the next day, and was confined to the
house for some days afterward. R.Wit-
terstietter, with Eugene Dailledouze and
William Nicholson, also stopped oft here
on their way to Lafayette. Mrs. Chas.
Eickholt of Galveston, Texas, was a
caller. This lady enjoys the traveling
and Is out to learn wherever she goes.
J ottings.
The Smith & Young Co. are cutting
some beautiful Marie Louise violets.
They have some 4,000 plants and a big
stock of young plants. This violet Is the
best yet; Its color and substance cannot
be beaten.
Baur & Smith have improved the old
Fohl place in such manner that every-
thing looks now like business. They are
branching off in the carnation cutting
trade.
Funeral and otherfloral work has been
plentiful of late, with good flowers in
roses and carnations scarce. Violets are
coming in ii large quantities.
Harrisii lilies are backward; they are
forcing very Irregularly this season. Bul-
bous stock is arriving and is used up
clean on account ot funeral work.

Trade Report,
The national bereavement over"
shadows everything; social functions o'
every description are posptoned ludefl-
nitely, and trade is demoralized. There
is absolutely no business doing. Satur-
day, February 2, has been proclaimed a
day of public mourning, and the request
ot the civic authorities that citizens con-
tribute floral decorations for the statue
of her late Majesty, will no doubt cause
a demand for white flowers and probably
also violets.
Club Notes— The Annaal Heetlng.
The annual meeting was held in the
club room on Monday evening, January
28, President Robinson in the chair.
There was an average attendance of
members.
The secretary-treasurer's report was
read by the assistant secretary (Secre-
tary-Treasurer W. Horobin, although
present, was unfortunately incapacitated
by a severe attack of la grippe), and after
a series of deficits, the report was most
gratifying, showing, as it did, a surplus
on every item on the club's list, with
the exception of the chrysanthemum
show, amounting In all to about $50,
the whole reflecting the greatest credit
on the energy displayed by the president
and secretary during the past year.
Eight new members have joined the club
during the past year, and several old
members have rejoined. Twelve very in-
teresting papers have been read at the
meetings. Theattendanceatthe monthly
meetings has been over 50 per cent, of
the total number good on the books, and
at the executive meetings the attendance
has been 75 per cent.
The election of ofl^icers tor the ensning
year resulted as follows: President,
George A. Robinson, rci^lected by accla-
mation; first vice-president, W. Hender-
son ; second vice-president, R. W. Whiting;
secretary-treasurer, W. Horobin, reelect-
ed by acclamation; assistant secretary,
W. Hall; Executive Committee. J. Walsh,
J. McKenna, J. Eddy, A. Pinoteau, J.
Pldduck, and C. A. Smith. During the
year three certiflcates of merit had been
awarded to Thomas McHugh; two to
W. G. Pascoe; one each to C. A. Smith
and F. C. Smith.
A resolution of condolence was ordered
dratted and sent to the club's honorary
president. Lord Strathcokia, High Com-
missioner for Canada in Great Britain,
for transmission by him to the proper
authorities, expressing the club's deep
sorrow at the death of our gracious sov-
erign Queen Victoria, and expressing the
club's inviolate loyalty to her late Majes-
ty's successor. King Edward VII. A
suitable floral emblem was ordered made,
and the members will meet at the club
rooms on Saturday morning, 2d Inst.,
and proceed in a body to Victoria Square
to place the same on her late Majesty's
statue.
A resolution ot condolence was also
ordered senttothe family of the late Mrs.
John McDougalI,one ot the club's hono-
rary members. After votes of thanks to
the retiring officers, and the various com-
mittees for the services during the past
year, the meeting adjourned. ft.

Koses Are Scarce.
The principal topic this week has
been the scarcitv of roses. All growers
just now are cutting but few lirst-quality
blooms. White has been in great demand.
Other cities must be in a similar condi-
tion, as outside orders are coming in
every da.y. Long-stemmed American
Beauty roses are very scarce; $9 per
dozen is asked for first-quality flowers.
The best teas are selling at from $12 to
$18 per 100.
(irowers attribute the non-flowering
of roses to the great humidity during
last Oetobercombined with recent cloudy
weather. In many establishments where
the plants could not look better very few
buds are in sight. Everything points to
a large cut later on, but there are iew
dollars in sight now.
There are plenty of carnations, except-
ing white varieties, and these are in brisk
demand, caused by funeral work. But
with this scarcity it is very ditflcult to
sell Roman hyacinths or narcissus. The
sales of this class of stock are smaller
each year.
News Items.
The trade in this city were very
sorry to hear of the loss sustained by
.John Kuppert, plant salesman for Henry
A. Dreer, through the death of his wife,
who died of pneumonia, on Tuesday
morning, after only one week's illness.
Much Interest is now being taken in
bowling at the club room. A few weeks
ago a challenge was sent out tor a HO-
man team match with auy club in Phila-
delphia. Thischallengehas been accepted
by the Century Wheelmen and it Is ex-
pected that the match will be played on
I'^ebruary 21i, provided some neutral
alleys can be secured.
Robert Kitt reports increased business
in his Fairy Cut Flower Vases. He Is
busy filling orders, and is uow getting
up more designs.
The seed tradeis pleased with the pros-
pects for this year. Early orders are
coming In, and in such numbers as to
give great encouragement.

Baltimore.
Tbe Market.
Weather conditiona have been un-
favorable during the last two weeks,
and the supply of cut flowers has fallen
off considerably. Roses, even though the
demand for them has been comparatively
much smaller than for carnations, are
scarcest of all. The latter are still be-
tween crops, and many flowers that come
'n now show signs of fatigue, caused
either by too much forcing for the holi-
days, or by the continued cloudy weather.
Violets areavailable In good quality, but
prices rule low. Mignonette continues
to be scarce. Bulbous stock is neither
very plentiful nor much in demand. Pa-
per White narcissus seem to be wasting
in some houses. Some very pretty lily of
the valley may be seen in the stores, but
hardly any is offered at wholesale.
American Carnation Society Arrange-
ments.
A club meeting was held last Mon-
day night with President Halliday in the
chair and a good attendance. The ar-
rangements for the coming Carnation
Society's convention were discussed, and
very satisfactory committee reports sub-
mitted. Secretary Uerr, who Is In con-
stant consultation with the officers of
the society in Baltimore, expresses the
most sanguine expectations as to the
success of the approaching meeting, a
sentiment which is con8rmed by every
member of the club who has had occa-
sion to meet or correspond with out-of-
town carnatlonists. There is every rea-
son to expect that the coming conven-
tion will witness an assemblage of car-
nation devotees far exceeding in number
that of any previous meeting. But the
most remarkable incident and an elo-
quent proof of the usefulness of the socie-
ty will be the quality of the flowers that
will be put on exhibition.
The exhibition, though not open to the
general public, will be free to all who
secure a card of Introduction, either from
the members of the Carnation Society or
the Gardeners' Club of Baltimore. The
club has iiad a liberal number of cards
printed and N. F. Flitton. supt. of Clif-
ton Park, is now ready to distribute
them in any number required to the
members of the above-named societies
OQ demand. Of course visiting members
may receive cards tor their friends at the
exhibition hall if they neglect to apply
for them beforehand.
While preference will be given to exhib-
its of the members of the Carnation -So-
ciety and to carnations, an.v other flowers
and plants or objects of a decorative
character orotherwise of interest to hor-
ticulture will be admitted as far as the
available space will permit.
As to the cup of the society, it has been
decided that it shall be awarded to any
floral decoration made up of carnations
with their own or other foliage which
the judges may deem most worthy of the
prize. The exhibitor may select any
shape or form he likes— a vase, wreath,
a table decoration or anything else.
The show will be opened at 2 p. m. on
Thursday, February 21, by the Mayor
of Baltimore. There will thus be plenty
of time in the forenoon to arrange the
exhibits, and the committee will take
every possible step to insure the prompt
delivery of goods shipped by the express
companies. A preliminary meeting will
probably be held In the morning of the
opening day, and the Gardeners' Club
will entertain the visitors at a banquet
on Friday night.
The Baltimore public is quite enthusi-
as ic over the opportunity to welcome
the cultivators of their favorite flower.
Man.v promlnentladies have been enrolled
as patronesses of the carnation jubilee,
and some substantial tokens of their
sympathy with the object of the society
are expected.
Richard Vincent, Jr., gave an interest-
ing chat on his late visit to New York, of
the cordial hospitality of the New York
Florists' Club, and the wonderful flowers
he bus seen around the metropolis. Of
Mr. Ward's (Cottage Gardens) carnations,
he speaks with genuine admiration, and'
he could not have brought more pleasing
news to his audience than the promise of
several prominent New York growers
that they will be on hand at the conven-
tion and bring their best flowers along.

The Market Notes.
Business is now moving along fairly
well. There is no great rush among the
city retailers, but the wholesalers are
kept very busy with shipping trade, and
stocks are cleaning out daily. The sop-
ply does not increase materially, except
possibly iu bulbous stock, which is now
in greater variety. In roses American
Beauty are yet very scarce, especially the
large sizes. Special grades hold at $9
per dozen with fancies and No. 1 at $5
and S6. The smaller grades are a little
more plentiful, principally those selling
at from $2 to $4 per dozen. Bride and
Bridesmaid are in supply far below the
demand, as are Meteor, Liberty, Mrs.
Pierpont Morgan— in fact, all roses. Spe-
cial Bride and Bridesmaid realize $25
per 100, with extras at $16 and $20.
No. 1 bring about $12.50 and other
grades from $4 to $10.
Carnations, too, are in short supply,
excepting, possibly, William Scott and
others of about that shade of color.
Good white. Daybreak and bright and
dark red. also all the fancies, are selling
very well. Ordinary grade stock brings
$2 to $2.50, while the better flowers of
common varietiesmake$3. Fancies and
the newer sorts of flue quality fetch $4
and $5 per 100.
In bulb stock, Paper White narcissus
and Roman hyacinths are very plentiful
at $1 to $1.50 per 100. Daffodils are in
only fair supply and realize $4 to $5 per
100. Trumpet narcissus are short and
sell well at $a to $4. Campernelles are
in pretty good supply and bring $1.50
per 100. Tulips are now coming In with
better stems. Due Van Thol are rather
short-stemmed as yet, and make $2 to
$2.50, while Keizerskroon, Yellow
Prince and others of the longer stemmed
sorts bring $3.50 and $4. Warren Ewell
brought in the first Yellow Prince on
Tuesday, and Mr. Lassman has been cut-
ting Keizerskroon ot pretty good quali-
ty for a week or more.
Valley has not been very plentiful nor
good for a week past, the foliage being
sparse and of a poor color. Lillum Har-
risil are shortening up in supply and
bring $10 and $12.50 per 100. Callas
are fairly plentiful at $6 to $10 per 100.
Violets have become very abundant
and move slowly, many selling at from
30c. to 50c. per 100. Extra stock brings
75c.
Azaleas are now coming in fast, and the
stores are making large displays of these
and bulbous stock.

state of Trade.
TUe notable feature of tlie market
the past week auil up to the time of
writiug is the^ coutiuuouH shortage of
roses. Plants of all j^rowers seem to be
off crop at one aud the same time. So
(ur as wecau learn, this condition is Jikely
to remain until toward the middle of
February. The man who happens to
have even a fair cut of roses just now
has no reason to complain of prices, as it
hardly matters of what (luality the
dowers may be, they are sure of sale.
.Short American Beauty are the most
plentiful ; long-stemmed and medium
sorts beiug in very short supply. Of
bride and iirldesmaid there is not half
enough to go round.
In carnations, white are rather scarce;
colored blooms are in quantities to meet
all calls, aud are the only Uowers, except-
iug bulbous stock, usually seen on the
counters after early morning. The sup-
ply of lilies is increasing, but so far it is
not beyond the demand. Fewer callas
than last year are received aud are easily
disposed of.
Lily of the valley is plentiful enough
for all calls. Daffodils are yet poor In
quality, singles being most plentiful.
Koman hyacinths aud Paper White nar-
cissus are In abundance and hard to
clear. Violets also are plentiful and
often have to be sacrificed. The dark
kinds are the best sellers; light blues do
not seem to be wanted in this market.
Uattleyas from the East are coming in
of good (luality, realizing from $5 to Jfti
per dozen.
Hardy ferns seem poor just now, al-
though they areavery important article.
The News.
John Blanck, retail florist, 160
43d Street, had the misfortune to have
his stock frozen, Thursday, January 2i,
through the bursting of a pipe that con-
nected a sectional boiler for heating his
store and five greenhouses. While there
were two other boilers iu the pit, it is
claimed they were unworkable. The
heating was by natural gas. The store
and greenhouses were on rented land, on
which was a .fSOU mortgage, with '20
months' lease to run.
This week i\lr. Blanck is in the United
States Bankruptcy Court, scheduling his
liabilities at $2,"J00 and estimating
assetsat $3,200. At this writing the sale
of assets has been postponed by the court.
George Bp.rtholomew, grower. May-
fair, is also in the Bankruptcy Court.
Mrs. C. Eickholt, dorist, of Galveston,
Texas, has been spending the week
among the florists of this city. She re-
turned home .Saturday via St. Louis.
lioman hyacinths aud Paper White
narcissus are too much in evideuce to be
protitabie to the growers, and now alli-
ums come along to swell the chorus.
The George Wittbold Company is plac-
ing on the marketcut froudsof the firm's
Nephrolepis Wittboldli. These seem to
take very well among the retail florists
who do fine work.
J. C. Vaughan left for Buffalo and New
York on Saturday. He expects to attend
the Carnation Society's meeting at Balti-
more before returning. A red sport of
Tidal Wave carnation, named Mrs. L.
Ine, raised at the Bohemian Cemetery,
in this city, will soon be on the market.
Anton Then is trying to make arrange-
ments to take in the Baltimore meeting.

last; object, bowling, etc. If reports are
true they had a grand old time, some 25
of the Cream City boys turning out to do
the honors. The scores will he found in
another column.

Market News.
Business remains good. Roses are
still scarce. The supply of carnations
has also slackened up, and at this writ-
ing is not equal to the demand; prices
remain firm. In the absence of anything
else, bulbous stock sells, but people are
not crying for it. Lily of the valley still
brings 4c., while Roman hyacinths and
narcissus can be had at 2c. and 3e. Vio-
lets go at 75c. to $1 per 100, with a lit-
tle coaxing.
Club Meeting:.
The meeting of the (Cincinnati Flo-
rists' Society occurs February 9. The
principal exhibits will be roses, and if any
of the craft have something new or old
to exhibit, we shall be glad to see it. Ad-
dress all exhibits to George Walker,
Superintendent of the Flower Market,
and they will have proper attention.

violets in theseparts; an excess of cloudy

The matter of protecting beds from

in a previous Issue, met with a griater

Trade News.
Owing to the mild and changeable
conditions of the weather, trade in most
lines has suffered this Winter, but the
iloriste' business lieeps up under all con-
ditions and has been very satisfactory.
Owing to an unusually dark mouth, with
scarcely any sunshine, roses, carnations
and violets have suffered, and have not
been up to the usualstandard of quality,
liesides beug deficient in quantity. Roses
have been fairly plentiful, there being a
(leHciencyin good American Beauty. On
account of heavy demands for funeral
work, white roses have been somewhat
scarce atintervals. Golden Gate is quite
iicipular, though it will never supplant
the Bride. Liberty is grown with vary-
ing success, and no one condemns it yet.
Lady Dorothea is a grand rose and will
liiost likely be planted quite extensively
another season.
Carnations have not been up to the
average in either quality or productive-
ness The dark weather has most likely
bad much to do with this discouraging
cmditiou. Of the newer varieties, Mrs.
I'homas W. Lawson is easily the leader.
<!. H. Crane and White Cloud are the
favorites in their respective colors.
Violets are very late again this season,
but few good ones having been picked.
Buds are plentiful, and a few days of sun-
shine will bring an abundance of bloom.
At Swanson's tulips and single Von
.Sion narcissus are quite prominent.
When these flowers appear. Spring seems
not very tar distant. .
Country trade seems ever on the in-
crease, and is one of the surest monitors
of trade conditions. Chris Hansen seems
to be coining money in the business, as
he is now erecting a brick block on one
of the business streets. It is built to rent
and not as a wholesale floral emporium,
as one might suppose. Veritas.

The Seed Industry in Germany. —
Seed-growing, says Dr. Wittmaek la Gar-
tenflora, has always been an important
Industry In Germany. Erfurt and Quedlin-
burg have long been famous for their
seed-growing establishments. Flower
and vegetable seed raising, both in the
open and under glass, are the principal
occupations of Erfurt growers; Quedlin-
burg growers supplement these with
farm seeds, including sugar-beet seed and
wheat. The largest firm In Quedlinburg,
Dlppe Bros., have 2.910 hectares* set
aside exclusively forthegrowingof seeds,
of which 1,050-1,^00 hectares are
planted with sugar beet, 500-600 hec-
tares with lettuce and onions, 60-70 with
cress and spinach, 60-70 with leek, corn
salad and chervil, 40-50 with peas, 120-
130 with beans (of which 25-30 hectares
are planted with string beans), 25-30
with head cabbage, 40-50 with parsley,
and 100-150 hectares with flowers. Of the
total land devoted to flowerseeds, asters
are allotted from 25-30 hectares, mign-
onette 12-18, phlox 2-3, Viola tricolor 5,
Lathyrus odoratus 10-12. Three hun-
dred thousand pots of Summer stocks,
50.000 Autumn and Winter stocks, 25,-
000 wallflowers, 20,000cinerarla8, 8,000
calceolarias, .5,000. carnations, 60,000-
80,000 Primula sinensis are grown ex-
clusively tor seed. The area of all the
greenhouses amounts to 4,880 square
meterst; that of the manure beds, 9,620
square meters. The buildings, without
contents, are Insured for three million
marks. Employment Is given to 230 gar-
den hands, 20 apprentices, 1,600 ordi-
nary workmen and workladles; 220-240
horses are necessary; oxen, to plow,
340; sheep, for the manure, 6,000-8,000.
Three dynamos, each of 110 volts and
1,200 ampSres. supply the electric power
to light 2,100 incandescent and arc
lamps, as well as run the 12 electric mo-
tors of from 1 to 12 horse power neces-
' sary to operate elevators and threshing
land cleaning machines. Besides these
: there are 11 gas motors of from 2 to 12
horse power.
In Erfurt, asters, balsams, pansles, ver-
benas, zinnias, phlox. Summer carna-
tions, and mignonette take the first place
as outdoor plants, and cover innumera-
ble acres of land. Toward the end of
August, when these immense fields are in
tuU flower, Erfurt Is the Mecca of thou-
sands of travelers, both native and for-
eign. One million pots of stocks are
grown, of cornflowers 100,000, wall-
flowers 100,000. Four hundred thou-
sand persons are employed, and from
one million to two million catalogues are
sent out yearly. One firm, Ernst Benary,
grows alone, in pots, 100,000 stocks,
40,000 primulas, 35,000 petunias, 20,-
000 cornflowers, 5,000 calceolarias.
Further, 1,500 coleus. In two green-
houses; 5,000 gloxinias, in eight green-
houses; 3,000 tuberous begonias and
Fuchsia hybrlda, in two greenhouses —
all exclusively for seed. There are 6,000
sash with an area of 9,000 square meters.
There is a total of 16 large firms in Er-
furt, for which the majority of the 50
smaller firms work in turn. To obtain
such seeds as will not ripen in the Ger-
man climate, the larger firms have their
own growers and collectors in southern
Europe, Algiers, North America, and the
tropics.
• A hectare equals 2.471 acres.
fOae square meter equals 11. 9G square feet.
European Notes.
Only In Germany does Winter hold Its
own at present. There has practically
been no break in the Intense cold which
has prevailed for several weeks. So tar
as its effect on plants is concerned. It can
hardly tall to be very destructive, as al-
though snow has fallen in considerable
quantities, It has been blown Into drifts
by the keen Siberian winds, and the cen-
ter ot the fields looks exposed and bare.
Visitors to Germany, especially the
Quedlinburg district, will have noted the
absence of the hedge rows so common in
England and France, which, while they
reduce the size of the fields, afford most
valuable shelter In the Winter season.
In western Europe the weather re-
mains just sufficiently cool to check pre-

large acreage has been plowed up al-
ready. Mangel-wurzel holds its own.
The land generally Is much too wet for
us to commence our Spring sowiuge for
annual crops. The low prices being real-
ized for grain render the placing of these
crops, with the solitary exception of rad-
ish, (luite easy this season, and the
breadths of peas, beans, cress, mustard,
and spinach will be larger than they
have been for several years past. Kadish
is giving us trouble, as growers of this
article desire to recoup themselves for
last year's failure out of the higher prices
to be paid -this season. Consequently
their notions of prices are quite out of
reach, but it is just possible that a little
later In the season they may be willing
to " take a little water in their wine,"
but this, of course, means later sowings
and a later harvest. Prices for this arti-
cle have not been remunerative for some
time past, and as the French Government
does not subsidize the culture of radish,
as it does the culture of hemp, the prices
must rise or the culture will be discon-
tinued.
The market for heavy farm seeds is be-
coming more active, with the result that
red clover is advancing in price on ac-
cunt of a very short crop in England.
Aleike, white clover, mustard, rape, and
hemp are firm, while rye grass, both the
Italian and perennial varieties, has ad-
vanced considerably in value during the
past seven days. European Seeds.
Peter Barr on Daffodils.
The veteran Peter Barr, during his so-
ourn in the antipodes, is doing much to
popularize there his favorite flower, the
ddtfodil.and to enlighten Australian hor-
ticulturists thereon. We have just re-
ceived from Mr. Barr a copy of a pam-
phlet entitled" A Chat on Daffodils," pub-
lished under the auspices of the Horticul-
tural Association of New South Wales,
and containing papers read before that
body by Mr. Barr on " Ancient and Mod-
ern Datfodiis," "Distinguishing Charac-
teristics of Datfodiis," and " The Raising
of New Daffodils." Through these arti-
cles an immense amount of valuable in-
formation on the subjects dealt with is
imparted, and cannot fail to beget an iu-
terest in this beautiful class of plants.
Occasionally we come across bits of that
dry Scotch" humor so characteristic of
the author, as, for example, the follow-
iug; Speaking of Sweet, the botanist,
he says: "Sweet died in a luualic asy-
lum, and his friends say it was owing to
his having paid his old friend, Eliicomb,
a visit when the daffodils were in bloom,
and got so confused with the number
and variety that on his return to London
he had to be put under restraint. Often
when working on the daffodil, friends
solicitous of my well-being used to re-
mind me of poor Sweet, and to see X did
not go the same way. My answer was,
'1 grow a bed of Helleborus autiquorum
closeathandas a corrective.' The Greeks
used to send their lunles to an island in
the Archipelago where this plant grew
to eat the roots of it."
Again, when talking on the subject of
raising new datfodiis, he says: " A young
aspirant to fame, I think one of my audi-
ence, asked me if it were possible to get
a red daffodil. (I have seen one, but it
was in a dream.) I think a red trumpet
could be attained with yellow and per-
haps whitepetals; but it means patience,
as you would, so to speak, unmake and
then remake a flower. Were I to go tor
this 1 would take the pollen of Incom-
parabills J. C. Backhouse, a hybrid, and
put it on Santa Maria, the most orange
yellow of trumpet daffodils. This, 1 sus-
pect, would modify the form. Then,
when theseedlings flowered, 1 would put
their pollen on Santa Maria uniil 1 had
again a perfect Santa Maria intensified
in color. "This might occupy 20 years,
but what is time when you have an ob-
ject to attain? And if you raise seedlings
annually, the time will slip away won-
derfully fast."
We hope to give other extracts from
the chapter on "Raising New Daffodils"
in a future issue.

the association, J. W. Clay, Belle Vue

Mr. James Robinson, a well-known

Jiinuary 31, aged 94. He was a native
of Scotland.
Lamar, Mo.— January 26 last Charles
H. Fink died in this city, aged 89 years.
For several yearshe was ownerand man-
ager of Lamar Nurseries, laid out several
ailditions to the city, and served one
term as presiding judge of the County
Court. He came here in 1869.
Aususta, Ga.— The close of the old
year foundP.-J. BerckmansCo. shipping
a consignment of trees and plants to
t'outh Africa. It was an unusually large
order, taking 30 men 10 days to execute
it. This was a fltting wind-up to a most
prosperous Fallbusiness. Roses and the
handsome Biota aurea nana head the
list for record sales. More than 20,000
of this prettv conifer were shipped from
these nurseries the past season, and as
evidence of its popularity, more orders
are on file than it is possible to fill just
now. Some 75,000 in various stages of
growth are coming along, so there is no
danger of the stock becoming extinct
for a while. A. new biota (B. japonica
filiformis) will become very popular. It
has a spiral and spreading habit, of a
filmy nature, most graceful, fn newligus-
trutiis I noted L. marginata aurea
macrophyila.and excelsum superbum, all
very fine, the last named particularly so—
large foliage, well and evenly marked. It
is doubtful if these plants are hardy north
of Washington, although L. amoreusis,
which wasconsidered a half hardy plant,
is doing well as far north as Newport,
R. I. Citrus trifoliata is increasing in
favor as a hedge plant: itis proof against
the attacks of any animal; one introduc-
tion suffices. As I gazed at a noble speci-
men of the green holly which was liter-
ally smothered in scarlet berries, I pic-
tured it in some of our .New York stores.
What a furore it would create! This
grand old tree has stood in the same spot
for 45years, and is the pride of its foster
parent' P. .J. Uercknians, .Sr. The new
century was ushered in with consign-
ments to Cuba and Porto Kico.alsoa big
shipment to Bombay, India. Among the
varied assortment was every kind of nut
tree,' largely pecans. Home trade is not
overlooked in the rush. At time of my
visit Robert Berckinans was leaving for
Charleston, S. C, to see about pliinting
165 acres which wilLform.the exposition
grounds. The stoneless peach is in hig
demand. At the fruit farm, situated a
few lu lies southwest, close upon 40.000
trees of this on*" kind are planted out.
Before closing these notes, I must not
forget to mention the climbing Soupert
rose, which is a fine thing. The flower is
similar to the old variety, but the plant
blooms freer and in clusters, the habit
being very rampant. That pretty bou-
vardia-like plant, Pentos lanceolata,
stands the hot sun here, and blooms freely
throughout the entire Summer. Swain-
sona galegifolia has proven hardy here
during the past Winter. W. M.
S. Mendelson Meehan, who has returned
to Germantown from his three weeks'
trip South, reports meeting a brother
nurseryman, Mr. Davis, of the firm of
Franklin Davis & Co.. of Baltimore, in
the wilds of Florida. Mr. Meehan thinks
a trip to Florida such as he made more
interesting from its dissimilarity to
Northern scenes than from any natural
beauties of the route at this season of
the year and from its delightful climate.
Many of the orange growers of Florida
have taken precautions against antic-
ipated freezings by various devices. In
one Instance he saw a grove entirely
under anarborof lath, both as a security
against frosts and to afford shade, the
shade in Summer being thought benefi-
cial. Then the Californiau idea of smoke
and heat for frosty nights is entertained,
and provision made to produce it by
placing heaps ot wood throughout the
grove, to be set on fire should the mer-
cury fall dangerously low. However,
there was no appearance of frosts while
he was there; ou the contrary, it was so
warm while at Palm Beach that he
found the surf-bathing most delightful;
hut this noted place is far in southeast
Florida.
An Assortment of Magnolias. — It
would be difficult to overpraise magno-
lias. They make beautiful trees for orna-
mental planting, and a few of them are
available as street or avenue trees. The
leaves of almost all are dark green and
large; the tree kinds white or yellowish
white. Those of the shrub sorts are of
various colors, and most of them are
sweet-scented. Then there is to be added
the large seed pods, mostly of a rich car-
mine color. The M. tripetala and M.
hypoleuca are particularly striking in
til is respect.
Nearly all collections ot trees and
shrubs contain some magnolias. More
would contain them but for the mistake
often made of planting the magnolias in
Autumn. Spring is the only time in
which plantings should be made, unless
it may be In the South. Neither the mag-
nolia nor the tulip tree will succeed
planted in Autumn. Both have rather
fleshy roots, and as experience of many
years shows, these trees cannot stand
disturbance at that season of the year.
It undisturbed, such as would be thec-ise
S"t out from a pot, no harm results, but
dig the magnolia up and in all proba-
bility it will die.
Of the tree kinds, M. tripetala, M. Fra-
seri, M. macrophylla, M. acuminata and
M. hypoleuca are the best known. All
hut the last named are natives— that is,
Japanese. Of shrub sorts or kinds of
shrub-like growth, though of almost tree
height as many are, the following are
known to be good: M. stellata, M. obo-
vata, M. gracilis, M. glauca, M. Lennei,
M. conspicua, M. Soulangeana and M.
Kobus.
If confined to a choice of two tree sorts,
I would sleect M. tripetala and M. Fra-
seri- The former has large, tropical-look-
ing leaves, though not as large as those
of M. macrophylla, and in late Summer
is a sight to see when Its bright carmine-
colored fruit pods are in full display. It
is not an overlarge tree, while making a
shapely outline. The M. Fraseri I would
take becauseof its canary -colored, sweet-
scented flowers. They are not as sweet
as those of the famed M. glauca, but ap-
proach the latter nearer than any other.
The odor is pleasing and delicate. In
size, this magnolia attainsto the propor-
tion of a large tree. Its pods, too, are
very pretty.
The shrub kinds are in great variety,
but for a list of six, set them out in this
order: M. Soulangeana, M. stellata, M.
conspicua, M. glauca, M.obovata and M.
Lennei. M. Soulangeana is extremely
strong and vigorous of growth, and is
the one witli pink buds, white inside
when expanded, the flowers coming in
advance of the leaves. The latter char-
acter belongs to all the shrub sorts ex-
cepting M. glauca. M. stellata is thelittle
low-growing, semi-double one, the flrst
of all to flower In the Spring. The blos-
soms are of a lightplnk in the bud, white
when expanded, and slightly fragrant.
M. conspicua is the well-known Chinese
white; M. glauca, the sweet-scented
swamp; M. obovata, the old purpurea,
renamed obovata, and M. Lennei, the
purplish pink, with cup-shaped flowers.
Many of these can be made into trees
if grown to a singlestem, but allowed to
grow as they will they form a bushy
habit.
I should say something of M.grandi-
flora before closing, as it is hardy as tar
north as Philadelphia. This is the ever-
green magnolia of the South. It is better
to cut off every leaf when transplanting
It, unless from a pot, when this would
not be necessary.
Be careful not to let the roots of mag-
nolias become dry when transplanting,
and prune severely. In fact, though a
magnolia is counted a hard customer to
transplant, if cut down almost to the
ground at the time ot removal, those
that do not grow will be but few. J. M.

NOTES BY THE WHY.
Savannah, Ga.— A. C.Oelschig reports
an unusual demand tor palms, and has
been kept very busy filling funeral orders.
John Wolt is progressing finely and
adding rose houses. He has success with
La France, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria
and Perle, grown in the same house. He
greeted the new century with a life part-
ner snugly ensconsed in a new home as
evidence of prosperitj'.
George Wagner has handed over hia
business to his son, who has been associ-
ated with him for several years. The
young man is doing well, and it is to be
hoped the rest will be beneficial to Mr.
Wagner, who has been indisposed for
some time.
Atlanta, Ga.— Wachendorff Bros, re-
port an increase in decorations. Charles,
the senior member of the firm, took a life
partner on January 16 and has been
kept busy acknowledging a host of con-
gratulations.
C. A. Dahl Co. are rebuilding and add-
ing to their extensive plant. Mr. Wil-
liams, the able manager, reports a de-
cided increase in business since moving
uptown.
The West View Floral Co. have to va-
cate their store, owing to the building
coming down. Speaking with Mr. Law-
rence on the eve of his departure on an
Eastern trip, he considers this the best
season they have had. Roses have been
very fine. Mr. Burford is renowned as a
grower of American Beauty.
AugustGuien hasgoneout of business;
his greenhouses are demolished and the
land offered for dwelling houses.
Knoxville, Tenn.— Chas. W. Crouch is
very successful in growing Mrs. George
M. Bradt carnation. America is his best
scarlet.
Charlotte, N. C— E. I. Bush is hav-
ing good success with roses this season.
Carnations are second only to the fine
stock grown by Henry Steinmetz, of
Raleigh.
Wilmington, N. C— Miss Johnson has
been very busy with decorations. Owing
to the mild climate there is not the risk
in sending out valuable plauts in mid-
winter, as is the case with our less fortu-
nate friends in the North.
Mrs. Henry Rehder rejjorts a good sea-
son. A feature is the shipping of wild
smilax, for which she has a commission
to supply the White House for the inau-
guration of the President on March 4,
one of the largest orders ever placed.
Richmond, Va. — W. A. Hammond was
away on a gunning trip when I called—
just a little recreation after the holiday
rush which t understand was heavier
than in formeryears. Hisstock is in cap-
ital condition.
Mann & Brown are cutting some first
class roses, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria
that would take Brstpremium anywhere.
J. Moosmillerreportseneouraging busi-
ness since locating downtown. He was
formerly engaged in market gardening,
but has added carnations. His son has
charge of the store.
New London, Conn.— It was noted re-
cently that that grand old veteran John
Spalding was losing his eyesight. 1 regret
to state it has failed him completely. It
is a pathetic sight to see this noble-
hearted octogenarian feeling his way
among his pets, which have bepu to him
a source of pleasure and profit for so
many years. His memory is as bright as
of yore, aud his buoyancy under tuch
affliction remarkable. W. M.

RUSSELL
Again this has proven the most prolific anri profitable
variety we ever gr^'w, giving us so far fully 76 per cent,
more bloom than Ethel Crocker and eight other vari-
eties under the same conditions. On some SHiQ plants
not a single split calyx, where Crocker and some other
have split badly. Flowers as large as Scott, very fra-
grant; a fine shade of light rose-pink. After five years'
trial it has proved the best all-around variety we have ever grown. Have discarded Scott.

Origin of Hybrid Nymphaeas.
Editor Florists^ Exchange:
Under this caption F. W. Burliidge, In
the London Garden of January 19 last,
makes some sarcastic remarks, charging
American growers and raisers of hybrid
nympheeas with distrust and dishonesty.
He states: "So far as I know, but few,
if any, seedlings are raised in America
from American sown seed, and there is a
wonderful Marliacean look or appearance
about some of the so-called American
seedling water lilies."
I challenge Mr. Burbidge to prove any
single instance and to name such a varie-
ty disseminated by any grower or raiser
in the Dnited States to be anything else,
where such is stated, than purely Ameri-
can, obtained from American grown and
sown seed. If not American, what is It?
If hybrid seed can be secured anywhere
in Europe, why does not Mr. Burbidge
purchase it and raise Irish hybrid lilies?
The idea thataulnteliigent man, work-
ing on strict lines toward a desired end
with a set purpose, would trade the prog-
eny in an embryo state Is absurd, and
when a man has to depend on his
labor and skill for his living, is it likely
that he will divulge his secret until he
has been repaid for that labor and skill?
Such products cannot be protected or
patented, and right here, as Mr. Burbidge
guesses that a side light is shed on the
probable parentage of so many of Mar-
llac's varieties, I may say that he or any
one else Is at perfect liberty to manipu-
late with all the varieties in question,
and prove to his and others' satisfaction
the parentage of this and that variety,
instead of indulging In mere speculation
and wailing over the grievous loss sus-
tained from a scientific standpoint. Imag-
ine Mr. Burbidge, or his friend, journe.v-
ing to the south of France, visiting M. B.
Latour-Marllac'scelebrated aquatic gar-
dens, with the express purpose of finding
out that gentleman's secret. The wily
Frenchman well knew that he might
possibly sustain a more grievous loss iu
the matter of francs, which is very much
more to him than all that science might
lose by his silence, and as long as he
reaps such a revenue he will doubtless re-
main dumb. From an American's busi-
ness point of view this knowledge is his
stock in trade.
From the above quotation one may
jump at the conclusion that American
seedling water lilies lately disseminated
are nothing but Importations from
Europe, renamed here. Florists of Ameri-
ca, will you keep silent under such a base
and false accusation! This same charge
has been made before, presumably
through Jealousy, and I contend that it
is slanderous and affects the fioriats' busi-
ness at large. Many florists in America
are eye-witnesses to the fact that many
nymphsea seedlings are raised annually
in our nurseries, and several Europeans,
Including reliable London nurserymen
and their representatives, have visited
our nurseries and have seen these seed-
lings also.

Editor Florists^ Exchange:
For the edification of F. W. Burbidge,
I append a listof somehybrid nymphaeas
raised in America and from American
seed. It is a pity that Mr. Burbidge
did not inquire a little more into the
subject of American water lilies before
writing the statement quoted by you in
your issue of the 2d Inst., page 108. The
work done in this line by our hybridizers
will bear the closest inspection, and 1
would suggest to Mr. Burbidge that he
get acquainted with the varieties men-
tioned below as soon as possible.
I can assure him he will not need a mi-
croscope to distinguish the difference
between them, aswould be required in the
case of some of the European varieties.
I only enumerate varieties known to
every grower of this class of plants here
and those that have been on the market
for two years or more. No doubt, if Mr.
Burbidge is not satisfied with the num-
ber, it can be easily doubled by some
growers more familiar with the later
hybrids than mvself.
Washington, D. C. P. Bipset.
Hardy Nymphaeas: N. odorata carollana,
N. odorata Luciana, N. tuberosa rosea, N.
tuberosa Richardsoni.

The Verbena.
We olmerve that some parties recom-
mend the raising of verbenas from seed
instead of from cuttings, saying they are
just about as good. I am of the opinion
that such advisers have never seen the
verbena growing to perfection. I would
like them to visit me in the hot dry days
of August, when the verbena Is at its
height, and look over the field In which
we grow the choice named varieties in
rows 1,000 feet in length and 3 feet
apart. The plants almost cover the
ground, and are loaded with hundreds of
thousands of blooms, so that at a dis-
tance they look like one solid mass of
color, varying In all the shades of thisin-
estimable plant— beauty that in the sun-
light no artist with paint and brush can
portray, equaled in brilliancy only by
the colors in the rainbow; a richness of
color and a variety unsurpassed in any
other bedding plant.
Why is it that theverbena has declined
iu'popular estimation as a bedding plant
and as a favorite with the masses? Sim-
ply because we try to grow it too cheap.
It we grewit asweshould.in at leastSi^-
inch pots, space it out and keep It strong
and stocky, and grow it for sale with
several blooms, charging a price to make
t pay, our sales would soon surpass our
expectations and the verbena would
again be a popular flower. The selected
verbena will cover more space, give more
flowers and bloom for a longer season
than almost any otherplant. And as to
seedlings, how many thousands of pink
kinds would you grow before you had
one Beauty of Oxford, or purple ones be-
fore you had a Negro, or scarlet sorts
before you had a Glow Worm, or whites
before you had one to match that grand
new white, Mrs. McKinleyV Or where
will the seed come from to give you the
grand mixture you have in the named
varieties which are the pick of millions of
seedlings? By propagating you can have
every plant of the best and just the color
you want. Stock verbena plants and
rooted cuttings are now grown and sold
as free from disease and verbena mites
as seedlings; and there is no more excuse
tor growing a lot of rubbish of thever-
bena than there is of growing a similar
class of roses and carnations.

Chrysanthemums. — The stock plants
must not be neglected If good results are
desired during the coming year. II the
plants are being kept In a cool house by
themselves, where the temperature Is
at about 45 degrees, they are all right
yet; but it no such place Is at command
and the plants are in a warm house and
spindling growth is started, it would be
well to take cuttings at once. From
these a quantity of cuttings can betaken
later to supply the number of plants
needed to fill the benches. If specimen
pot plants are intended to be grown,
those cuttings taken and rooted now
will make just the stock required forthat
purpose. If it Is not intended to carry
any plants In pots through the Summer,
the first lot that was rooted may be
thrown away, as plenty of cuttings will
be available from the second batch that
Is taken and will still be in good time to
plant on the benches. If the stock plants
are keeping in good condition, however,
there is no need to commence propagat-
ing yet, except where specimens are to
be grown.
Speciosum Lilies. — These" make good
subjects tor pot work for early Summer,
and they deserve to be grown more ex-
tensively for that purpose than they are.
Bulbs potted up now and put under a

nicely. No attempt at forcing should be
practiced. After growth starts, just keep
them In a moderately cool temperature,
and let them come along slowly.

HOME GROUNDS COMPETITION.
Class B.
r!;in :nul Iii'siTiptiini hy /). n'm. BrainarJ,
TIntrnpson ville. Coon.
Our "("ommereial Home Grounds" are
located at the corner of Pearl and Peaee
Streets iu Tliompsonville, Conn. The
grounds were first laid out three years
HSO, and each year a different design has
been followed in planting, though the
last two seasons the general plan has
been much the same, owing to the intro-
duction of the driveway.
The wallis are all three feet in width
and the driveway seven feet. The
grounds are in a prominent place, the
electric cars passing on the Pearl Street
side; and while the grounds are laid out
with an idea of advertising, yet such
varieties of plants are used as will be
most profitable to our business during
the .Suuijuer, and furnish the necessary
stcKk and cuttings for the Fall and
Winter.
The driveway was bordered on both
sides with Centaurea gymnooarpa with
the single exception of bed No. 5, which
had a border of heliotrope. Geraniums
were used in large nuniiiers both in indi-
vidual beds and as borders. Bed No. l.^i
contained 100 plants of Mrs. S. A. Nutt.
The bonier beds. No. ^n and No. 26, had
tour rows of plants each, the two center
rows being geraniums— in No. 25 Mrs.
!■:. G. Hill, 100 plants, and in No. 26 to
a point opposite the walk between No.
1") and No. 16, mixed geraniums, 150
plants. From the point opposite the
walk to thefence coieus plants were used.
The outer row in these two border beds
and also on beds No. 6 and No. 27 was
Mnie. Salleroi geranium, taking over 200
plants. The iuner border on No. 26 was
begonia Vernon, and on No. 25 dwarf
blue ageratum Cope's Pet. Bed No. 7
was bordered with Mme. Salleroi gerani-
ums, excepting the driveway side, and
aside from the star of aiternanthera, No.
24 was planted with new varieties of
geraniums. A single deep pink geranium
was used as a border on No. 12, south
and west sides, and semi-double red gera-
niums on the uorth side of beds No. 14
and No. 17. In bed No. 6 were used
about 75 double white geraniums. Mme.
Salleroi geraniums were used as a border
on the east side of No. l,and in the south
halt of bed No. S were five rows of mixed
geraniums and three of pelargoniums.
In this bed. No. H, the point "C" was
double nasturtiums, and between these
and the pelargoniums were Defiance
balsams. The entire border of this bed
was Cuphea piatycentra. The center of
the crescent, ,Vo. 10, was artillery plant,
or pilea, with a double row of Echeveria
seeunda glauca for an edging, a very
pretty combination. A single clump of
canna Mme. Crozy was used in the space
near the crescent, No. 28. Abutilons,
mostly the variegated sort Souvenir De
Bonn, were used in bed No. 9 with a
border of assorted coieus. Coieus were
also used tor borders on the west side of
beds No. 11 aud No. 13, and also in the
point 27 at the end of the driveway.
Six beds were devoted to asters, No. 11
to Giant Comet, white. No. 12 and No.
14 to Seinple's, white and shell pink prin-
cipally, a few lavender. No. 2 to white
Victoria and No. 4 pink Victoria; No. 5,
with the exception of about five feet
across the east side, was devoted to
white and pink Queen of the Market. On
the east side of this bed were four rows
of Mme. Hoste roses from 6-inch pots, 50
iu number. They were quite satisfac-
tory, giving a large number of fair quali-
ty blooms. No. 17 was mixed verbenas
and No. 16 gladiolus, all light colors,
part of them the gladiolus May. Cala-
dlum esculentum were used in No. 23 to
good effect. This one bed of tall plants
in the center of the several beds of dwarf
plants was very pretty Indeed. Bed No.
3 was heliotrope with a border of artil-
lery plants, and no one thing excited
mote favorable expression than the mag-
nificent heads which this bed produced.
The two border beds on the east side,
Nos. 21 and 22, had tour rows of plants
each, the two center rows being salvias
and the two outer rows Golden Feather
(P. A. selaglnoides). Salvia splendens
was used in No. 22 and salvia Silverspot
in No. 21 . During September and well
Into October this border was a blaze of
scarlet, making a handsome background.
Salvia splendens showed the finest
flower and the best spikes of blooms, but
the variegated ftdiage of S.. Silverspot at-
tracted a great deal of attention.
Bed No. l.S IH strawberries, and Nos.
19 and 20 are cold frames, each i\ b.v .30
feet. No. 20 has a liot-water pipe run-
ning into it from the greenhouse and is
planted with parsley for Winter use. The
Home Grouods of D. \A/ni. Hrainard, Thompsonville, Conn.
circular bed No. 24, in which a star
was defined, was 6 feet in diameter.
Two varieties of aiternanthera were
used, the star being A. paron.vchoides
major, and the balance of the circle filled
in with A. aurea nana. They were planted
very close, not over 41/2 inches, aud were
kept closely trimmed during tlie Sum-
mer. Two large banana plants, Musa
ensete, and two century plants, encircled
by about three dozen cannas, made an
elective tropical arrangement in the east
corner of No. 1, nearest the driveway.
In this division were also plunged 300
Dracajna indivisa in 5 and 6 inch pots,
and tour rows of Stevia serrata. The
dracoenas occupied about half of the divi-
sion, commencing at the north side.
The north half of No. 13 was set with
Vinca variegata, which made a fine
growth and were lifted and potted in
September. In the other hall of this bed
were several rows of various bedding
plauts: four rows of feverfew Little
Gem, two of Vinca rosea, three of phlox
Star of Quedllnburg, and also a row of
a very promising semi-double scarlet
geranium of ourown origin and of which
we are developing a stock.
The walks between No. 1 and No. 5
and No. 4 and No. 5 were bordered with
begonia Vernon. Too much cannot be
said ot this beautiful begonia for outside
bedding. It stands our Summer per-
fectly, and several of my customers class
It next to the geranium. On the borders
of the walk between No. 1 and No. 2 was
Cuphea piatycentra, and between No. 2
and No. 3 and No. 3 and No. 4 artillery
plant. The bed of Mrs. S. A. Nutt gera-
nium. No. 15, was edged with lantanas,
and No. 11, excepting the west side, with
double sweet alyssum. Heliotrope was
used for borders on the north sides of
No. 12 and No. 13, and on the south and
west sides of No. 14; also on the north
and east sides of No. 5. The small circu-
lar bed No. 29 was planted very early
with pausles and later with coieus. On
the south side ol the lot there Is a strip
of grass, " A, "four feet In width between
border bed No. 25 aud the sidewalk, and
on the west, or Pearl Street side, •' B,"
10 feet between the border bed and the
sidewalk.
While a large number of plants Is re-
quired to set these grounds, yet a great
(leal of it is surplus stock, and b.v keep-
ing the cutting beds full until the end ot
Ma.v a large amount of stock can be pro-
duced at small expense and which can be
used to excellent advantage. The ex-
pense of laying out and caring for the
grounds is, of course, t|uite an item, l)ut
we have never had reason to dout)t that
the grounds were a pa.ving investment.
.Vside from the excellent advertisement
It affords aud the large quantity of
flowers available at almost any time
during the .Sumnii'r, you have, if proper
foresight be used in planting, all the
necessary stock tor propagation iu the
Fall.
Comments by Mr. Warren H. Manning.
The problem presented hy this plan Is
an interesting one because it represents
conditions that are to be found in very
many establishments in towns and cities
where the available planting space is so
limited on account of the cost of land
appearance of being a jumble of inde-
pendent Ideas thrown together promiscu-
ously. I show one or two formal
arrangeuients to illustrate this. In each
case there is a central point or vista to
which all the side Ijeds relate. In some
cases the central point would be a bed of
high plants, like the cannas, with other
kinds gradually decreasing in size to iow
beds on the outer edge, with a repetition
of the same varieties or plants having a
similar appearance in habits, foliage or
color of flowers in the beds that corre
Design for Fornnal Gardening, Suggested by Mr. Warren H. Manning.

that it is necessary to use practically all
of it tor plauts. Under these circum-
stances a lawn and large shrubs or any
trees are ciuite out of the ((nestion. Turf
can only be used in narrow strips for
borders or turf walks, where they are not
likely to be much used. Such grounds
usually have straight boundaries ancj
are more or less rectangular. A dlstlnctl.v
formal treatmentlsalinostthe onlysalls-
tactor.v one that can be adopted under
these clrcu instances.
My objection to this plan is that it is
neither distinctly Intornial nor sym-
inetrlcall.v formal In character. There Is
an opp*>rtnnity to make a dlstlnctl.v for-
mal and symmetrical desigu that will be
far more attractlvethan the presentplan
ever can be made, it should be always
kept in mind that the real beauty of a
place depends upon the plan rather than
the planting. The planting is to a large
extent a detail, just as walks aud beds
are details. They should all be arranged
to give emphasis to the leading motive
of the plan. They should not have the
spond with each other in position an<
size. Or the central point nia.v be ai
aquatic pool in which low pad foliagi
would predominate and the planting li
the surrounding beds w^ould gradually in
crease in size from the low center to higl
plants on the outer edge. Or it may In
desirable to keep the center low through
outtheleugthot the bed, especially wher.
there are Important objects to be seen ai
theendsot the garden, with plaiitsgradu-
ally increasing in height 011 the two
sides. These arrangements do not pre
elude the use ot a large varlet.v of plants.
A certain unity will bo given to the
whole design by thesymmetricalarraiige
ment of the beds and walks and by the
bordering of the beds, which should be
generall.v of the same material through-
out the whole or throughout the sets of
correspondlig beds. A very important
consideration In selecting plants for such
plantations Is to avoid inharmonious
combinations of color, such as would
occur with the combination of a salmon
and bright scarlet geranium.

The Executive Committee of the S. A.
F. O. H. will meet on Tuesday, March 5,
at the Genesee Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., to
consider and act upon such plans as may
be presented for the society's welfare, to
so systematize its work as to confer the
greatest possible benefits upon American
horticultural industries and to perfect
arrangements for the coming convention
in the I'an-American city.
Suggestions on the above lines are re-
quested and will be welcomed and given
careful consideration by the committee.
Commun. cations may beaddressed toany
member of the Executive Committee, to
your State vice-president or to the secre-
tary's office, 79 Milk Street, Boston.
The members of the Executive Committee
are as follows: Patrick U'Mara, New
York, N.Y.; Edmund M. Wood, Natick,
Mass.; W. F. Kasting, Buffalo, N. Y.; U.
B. Beatty, Oil City, Fa.; W.J.Stewart,
Boston, Mass. ; C. W. Ward, Queens, N. Y. ;
J. F. Cowell, Buffalo, N. Y.; Lawrence
Cotter, Dorchester, Mass. ; J. F. Sullivan,
Detroit, Mich.; A. B. Cartledge, Philadel-
phia, Pa.; J. D. Carmody, Evansviile,
Ind.; Alex. Wallace, New York City; Emil
Buettner, Park Kidge, 111.; and R. Witter-
stsetter, SedamsvlUe, O.
All indications point to a continuance
of the great wave of prosperity which the
national society has enjoyed for the past
two years, and from the widespread In-
terest already manifested on all sides it
is evident that the Buffalo convention
will fully equal, if indeed it does not ex-
ceed, the record for attendance and mem-
bership accessions at the successful De-
troit and New York meetings.

S. A. F. 0. H. Incorporation Bill.
The Committee on the Judiciary of the
Houseof Representatives has reported on
the bill to incorporate the S. A. F. O. H.
They make oneortwo amendments, chief
of which are the insertion ot the words
"within the District of Columbia," after
the words "are hereby created a body
corporate and politic," and tlie striking
out of the proviso calling on the society
to report its proceedings from time to
time to the Secretary of Agriculture.
The committeeunanimously recommends
that the bill pass, when amended, and
adds: "There are many precedents for
legislation of this character. 'The useful-
ness of such a corporation cannot be
doubted."

The Seed Trade in
the 20th Century.
The great and important changes for
the betterment of mankind that shall
come to pass during the next one hun-
dred years, will mark the twentieth as
the red-letter century Of all time, for the
most of these changes shall consist in
effect in the fulfillment of ideals, in con-
nection with which the nineteenth cen-
tury has simply been a course of prepa-
ration foreshadowing the grandeur of
what shall transpire later on.
Prognostication on these coming
events being the order of the day, one
who has spent several decades of his life
in the garden seed business will under-
take to express his views on the proba-
ble outcome of the seed trade in the
United States in the twentieth century,
and when the term seed trade is used by
him in that connection, garden seeds only
are referred to.
The first thought that presents itself
is concerning the stupendous growth in
volume ot seed trade that shall naturally
follow with the country's great rise in
population (estimated -100,000,000 in
2001), the further development of its rich
and varied resources and the increase in
the use of vegetables, for poverty being
abolished in the twentieth century, as has
been predicted by certain writers, the
people, as a whole, will be much better
fed, and will consume more vegetables
per capita than they did in the nine-
teenth century.
The magnitude of the seed business,
therefore, in 2001 will be such that he
who shall be writing in that year on this
same subject will look back upon the
seed business in 1901 as having been in
a stage of infancy, just as much so as
the seedsmen of 1901 by comparison
look upon the status of the seed trade in
the Dnlted States in 1801.
Then, with a population of 5,000,000,
in this country there were only a half
dozen small seed establishments, shops
mostly, whose combined capital did not
exceed $25,000, if it actually amounted
to that much. Now, in 1901, with a
population of 75,000,000, we find more
than 1,000 seedsmen in the Union,
employing a capital of upward of $10,-
000,000. The number includes seed
growers as well as what are designated
dealers or merchants. While the popu-
lation of the country has increased fif-
teen fold, it will be observed that the
capital engaged in the seed trade has in-
creased four hundred fold, the use of seeds
having kept pace with multiplied wants
of mankind in other directions, due to
the wonderful progress in science and
civilization.
The next thought that comes is, along
with the great growth in the volume of
business, what shall we hope for in the
line of improvements with respect to
methods of seed growing and the con-
duct of seed selling ?
In 1801 few or no seeds were grown in
this country; those that were handled by
the seedsmen of that day were imported
from Europe. But in 1901, although
there is still a considerable importation
of seeds, the great bulk of what is used
is grown here, and as we are finding out
the adaptability of this or that section
or State or this or that climate or soil
to a particular class of seeds, the grow-
ing of seeds in the United States is as-
suming tremendous proportions, and it
goes without saying that the twentieth
century shall witness America turning
the tables on Europe and suoplying her
with most of the garden and flower seeds
that she will need.
The ideal seed grower of the twentieth
century will be one who is in love with
his business. He will be an educated and
by nature a scientific man, for there is a
higher art in the growing of vegetable
and flower seeds than there is in plain
farming. He will be one who will ex-
periment and constantly endeavor to
improve and originate varieties. In
short, he will aim for the same goal that
breedersof animalsarestriving for. Both
professions are, comparatively speaking,
in their infancy as to what shall yet be
accomplished in each line, though greater
advances have been made already in ani-
mal breeding than there have been in
seed growing, but the dawn of the
twenty-first century promises such a
great improvement over our present
vegetables, and flowers, too, for that
matter, in size, beauty and quality, that
the varieties of to-day will pale into in-
significance by comparison.
The practice which toward the closing
years of the late century had become the
vogue In seed growing, of confining the
operations of a single grower to a spe-
cialty, will be elaborated upon during
the twentieth century, and certain fixed
laws or rules shall be evolved for the suc-
cessful guidance of all who follow that
profession. Specialization, in fact, shall
oe the order of the times in all avoca-
tions. It is by resolute concentration of
mind and effort on a specialty, what-
ever it may be, that the best results are
sure to be attained and perfection, if pos-
sible, reached. The effects of specializa-
tion will be seen in the seed trade to such
an extent that in all our large commer-
cial centers there shall exist, perhaps not
before so many more years, extensive
wholesale seed houses that will carry
stocks only of specialties, instead of a
full line as is to-day the case generally.
As to the conduct of seed selling, the
tw entieth century will see the consumer
or planter protected by legislation
against adulteration, misrepresentation
and imposition of any natuiein the seeds
he buys, just as the close of the past cen-
tury has seen the tendency by national
law to pi-otect the consumer against
similar offenses in relation to food prod-
ucts.
The State shall also require the seeds-
man of the future to specify with every
sale of seeds the year of the crop and the
vitality, subject to penalty lor failure to
comply.
The seedgrowerwillnotbe overlooked,
but his crops will be under rigid Stat* In-
spection for the protection of those with
whom he contracts.
The retail seed trade of the future will
be localized exclusively. The home or
nearest local seedsman will be up to date
in all particulars, and the best and latest
varieties will be obtainable from him at
reasonable prices. The consumer will
also realize by that time what he seemed
to have been too benumbed to see In
1900, that one cent expended tor a pack-
et of seeds will purchase only a penny's
worth, and not Ave cents' worth for a
penny. The twenty-first centurist will
wonder in amazement as he reads of the
then extinct race of Barnum's man who
was bound to be humbugged or buncoed.
The localization of the letail seed trade
will have its influence upon the distribu-
tion of the seed catalogue of the coming
years. The folly of 1900 will be avoided,
whereby it was not unusual for an indi-
vidual to receive unsolicited, by mall,
from 50 to 60 catalogues from as gany
different seed houses. The distribution
of catalogues will be restricted by seeds-
men respectively to near-by localities,
and instead ot an expensively gotten up
catalogue with profuse reading matter,
a simple list will be considered as a rule
to sutfice. There will continue to be, of
course, sensational descriptions as of
yore, but they will be truthful, as the
State, as presaged above, will frown
upon misrepresentations and stratagems
which have been planned to deceive the
unwary in the matter of seeds, as well
as in everything else.
These reflections are supposed to cover
the ground generally as to the future of
the garden seed trade in this country,
and may present snggestions for others
to follow with additional views, though
in connection with the subject, it should
not be out of place to touch upon a
matter which has affected the seed trade
of the United States injuriously in the
last years of the nineteenth century, and
that is the competition, so to speak, that
is needlessly exhibited by the Govern-
ment by means of its annual farcical, in-
discriminate distribution, free of charge,
of millions of packets of seeds comprising
common everyday varieties such as are
to be found on sale at every seed store in
the land . However, the twentieth century
will not be so many years old before
Uncle Sam will consent to drop all other
business, for a day at least. In order to
give this free seed distribution question
his serious consideration, and suddenly
he will wonder how it was possible for
him tor so many years to have thought
it right to give away seeds for nothing,
and yet not have thought It right to
furnish the public with their postage
stamps free of charge. It will not tale
him long then to declare the act uncon-
stitutional.
The original suggestor of the scheme,
whom tradition asserts spelled cabbage
with a " K," meant well, no doubt, but
the trouble was he did not know how.
His ideas will be revived and someone
better qualified to do so will formulate
the system Into better shape, and from it
will be evolved a plan whereby the De-
partment of Agriculture will experiment
on its own botanical gardens with the
plant life of this and other countries, and
the Government will make appropria-
tions lor a similar purpose to the vari-
ous State experimental stations. If it
finds anything good and worthy of in-

troiiuctlon it will give public notice in
the newspapers, and the seedsmen of the
country will cater to the demand, as
they should, or, if theGovernment should
regard It necessary to do so, it will sup-
ply the seed ItseK at reasouable prices,
but the seeds shall not be given away
gratuitously. As an incentive, the (iov-
rnment will offer liberal prizes In cash
to originators of Improved varieties of
agricultural or horticultural plants,
and the awarding of these prizes will
share, in honorij* and public estimation,
equally with the granting of a subsidy
by Congress to a ship owner or the vot-
ing of a gold sword studded with dia-
monds to a hero. Ohio.
Packing: Queen of Edgely Rose.
The Floral Exchange (Inc.) having
received so many inquiries about the
manner In which they packed the flowers
of this rose when shipping to Europe,
they decided to pacli a (ew blooms and
ma&e a test. Everything was done ex-
actly as on the occasion referred to. The
(lower stems were put In water in glass
tubes with rubber caps, then wrapped
In tissue or wax paper, afterward in cot-
ton batting, with an outside wrapping
of paper, then securely packed in a box.
This box was placed in the flower cool
room. This room is, we believe, usually
kept at about 40 degrees. The box was
not opened until the twelfth day, when the
flowers were taken out and brought into
the city by band, to the store of Joseph
Kitt & Son. The writer saw the package
opened, and the roses were in perfect
condition, the buds being about two-
thirds opened, perfect in color and fra-
grance. The dowers have now been on
exhibition two daysinthestore window,
and look like lasting another three days
before tailing. Thisexperimentlscertaiuly
remarkable and speaks well for the keep-
ing qualities of this new rose.

C. W. Ward, of Queens, N. Y., has re-
ceived the foUowing acknowledgment
of a box of clothing sent by him for dis-
tribution among theGalveston sufferers:
Last Thursday we divided the box of
clothing you so kindly sent. It would
have done you good to have witnessed
the distribution. Everybody went away
pleased, and you have been the direct
means of lightening the hearts of a few
mothers who scarcely knew how to pro-
vide for Christmas, and you have glad-
dened the hearts of not a few little ones.
The trying on of the different garments
was as good as any theater performance.
Thanking you on behalf of the Galveston
florists for your renewed and extreme
generosity, and wishing you and your
family a happy and prosperous New
Year, 1 beg to remain.
Yours Respectfully,
F. G. Laeverenz, Secretary.

The market.
We have had seasonable weather
this week and one would naturally think
that the flower business would liave been
benefited therel)y, but as facts prove, the
trade in cut flowers seems to be suffering
a steady decline. While it cannot be said
that stock Is over plentiful for the time
of the year, the demand is only such that
a continued depression is apparent along
all lines, excepting, possibly, cattleyas
and Dendrobium formosum. American
Beauty roses of special grade have
dropped from 7.'ic. to 50c. or less, and the
price of other grades has fallen in pro-
portion.
Bride and Bridesmaid are similarly
affected, and the top notch for specials is
12e. Number twos and threes have been
sold as low as $1.50 and $2 per 100;
straight slips have gone at $4 per 100.
The cold weather has seriously affected
the violet trade, and a large quantity of
stock has to be held from day to day.
Prices consequently are at a very low
ebb.
For fancy carnations $5 per 100 seems
to be about the top figure. Mrs. George
M. Bradt and Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson
varieties bring 6c. when of extra quality,
but the majority go at the former men-
tioned price, or less. Ordinary carna-
tions are held at from 75c. to *1.50 per
100, according to quality.
The percentage of diseased Harrisii
lilies coming in seems to be on the in-
crease. There has been a marked fail in
price of the good flowers during the last
few days, while sales of diseased stock
have been recorded as low as 50c. per
dozen.
Lilac is moving very slowly and the
bunches are offered at 75c. each.
Bulbous flowers of all kinds are meet-
ing with but indifferent success. Short
tulips go beggiug at from $1 to $2 per
100, though forextra grown yellow ones
$4 is sometimes realized.
Among the Retailers.
J. H. Small & Sons executed the
very elaborate decorations at the ban-
quet and reception given by Mrs. Clarence
Mackay at the Waldorf-Astoria on Fri-
day, February 1. Cattleyas were used in
profusion, as were also large, well-flow-
ered plants of bougainvillea.
The owners have decided to discontinue
the florist store known as the Gallatin
at No. 491 Fifth Avenue.
Brevities.
The New York Cut Flower Co. has
decided to change Its salesroom from
23d Street to the newly erected build-
ing corner 26th Street and Sixth Ave-
nue. The third floor of the new buiding
will be occupied by the company, and
possession will betaken probably during
May next.
George Saltford and Charles Millang
have formed a partnership and will con
duct a general wholesale and commis-
sion cut-flower business at No. 50 West
29th Street. This is the same address at
which both the gentlemen have been lo-
cated for some time. Mr. Saltford has
hitlierto confined himself strictly to the
handling of violets, and has built up a
very extensive trade in that specialty.
Mr. Millang has an established trade cov-
ering the whole gamut of greenhouse
productions. The combining of the two
will undoubtedly result In a busy and
prosperous firm. Mr. Saltford will still
have special supervision of the violet
shipments, assuring growers the same
degree of carefulness in the future as has
been displayed in the past.
The regular monthly meeting of the
New York Florists' Club will be held In
the club rooms 19 West 27th Street,
near Broadway, on Monday, February
11, at 7:30 p.m. There Is plenty of busi-
ness to come before the members, and it
is to be hoped that a large attendance
will materialize. The Ways and Means
and Exhibition committees will meet at
the rooms 30 minutes previous to the
lime of the regular meeting.
The beefsteak dinner, which takes place
to-night (Saturday), Is to be a grand
affair, and we expect to see the club
room crowded. Every member should
be on hand to take part in the jollifica-
tion.
A goodly array of new and rare carna-
tions is expected to be on view at the
meeting on Monday night, and the re-
marks of John H. Taylor will be of great
interest to every member.
The .New York Florists' and the Flat-
bush Florists' bowling teams will meet
for the final games In their friendly
match, on Thursday evening, the 14th
Inst., on thealleysof the latter mentioned
club.
The fiower, fruit and vegetable show
of the American Institute will bfe held
Wednesday and Thursday of the coming
week at the Berkeley Lyceum building.
West 44th Street. The Eastern New
York Horticultural Society will hold Its
fifth annual meeting on the same dates
In conjunction with the exhibition.
The employees of Hitchings & Co., hor-
ticultural architects and builders of New
York and Jersey City, announce that
their grand annual ball will be held at
Columbia Hall, Ocean and Cator Avenues,
Greenville, Jersey City, on February 18.
Judging by the success that attended the
preceding balls given by the employees of
this company, this should be a ver.v en-
joyable occasion, and the.v wish toextend
a hearty invitation to all their friends to
participate in same. Music will be furn-
shed by Prof. Begg's full orchestra.
In the rectory of the Church of the
Holy Apostles, Ninth Avenue and 28th
Street, Saturday, February 2, John
Dowsett was married to Miss Marlanna

IBE JEIAIL TRIIDE.
Store Management.
By E. a. Seidewitz, Baltimore.
The first consideration in store man-
agetneatis to discover the desires of your
customers. As some one has said: "It
is easy enough to malse a new customer,
but hard to Iseephim." Any one starting
out to pieaseeverybody will find it rather
up-hill work. Don't do it. Please those
whom you want to please, and please
them so well that they will make others
satisfied.
Knowing your customers, the second
consideration is to get for them what
they want, and do it in the very best
manner possible. If your trade is the
ultra fashionable or wealthy, you know
as much about store managementas'any
writer can tell you, for you have secured
what you wanted, and it is needless to
take into consideration the methods. Of
those whohaveuot this "ultra superba"
trade I would ask: Do you want it?
Why do you want it. " There's money
in it," you say. Is there? How many
have tried to serveit and failed, and that
notwithstanding window decorations,
Ice boxes that seemed a dream, and uni-
forms that were creations k la Worth !
And why have they failed? Simply be-
cause they overreached themselves: they
went beyond their ability, theircapacity.
There is entirely too much aping in our
modern flower stores. We all seem to
follow one line, and that is to cater to
" the smart set." Is this good judgment?
ludividuallty is thefundamental principle
of success; energy, ability and opportu-
nity make up the balance.
Know your customer and make him
believe in you. Yea, make him swear by
you. There are large circles of people
who have views and tastes that are
similar, and if you have an aflSnity for
any one of these, cultivate him and he
will do the rest.
Male oe Female Help.
Women are, to my mind, the ideal
flower store assistants. They have more
patience, more taste, more honesty and
more manners than the average .young
flower male artist. The latter is all
right as a decorator, but keep him away
from the customers, except 'it be in a
fakir establishment or crape-chasing
concern.
Window Displays.
Window displays are the main attrac-
tions for the mass of people. Show in
.your window what you can do, if you
can do anything. The question of plac-
ing prices on your goods depends on the
class of people you are catering to. It
your trade is large enough and modern
enough, contract with some grower to
take a certain quantity of his products,
always keeping him in reserve. By doing
tills you can get your stock at Christ-
mas at a lower price, thereby being in a
position not to charge your customers
too outlandish prices.
If y lUr trade is such where the price of
flowers is a secondary matter I have no
advice to offer.
Waste.
There is always much waste about a
flower store, and to me it is the greatest
problem we have to solve. The tempta-
tion to use flowers which have the
shadow of a past week ujion them is
great, in order that there should be no
waste. If you Iiave heart enough to do
it, throw the old flowers on the floor,
tread upon them— do anything with
them, to get them out of sight. Above
all, don't make a poor inmate of a hospi-
tal unhappy by sending him or her some
faded flowers; these blossoms by their
short duration can but remind the recipi-
ent that he or she might soon share the
flowers' fate. Sell them to the fakirs?
No. Don't have the poor, sweet flowers
cussed at by some one who purchases
them because they are cheap. Have no ,
stale flowers. Stand the waste; if you
can't, get out of the business.
Credits.
Wh.v is it that people will buy flowers
o 1 Tedit? Flower bills are bad bills to
collect. Don't encourage credit; sell
low and do a cash bosiness, like the
average department store, and you will
find it to work well.
It is a bad business principle to encour-
age credit among the flower-buying pub-
lic. My experience has been that you
lose nothing In trade by discouraging
credit sales.
Packages and Deliveky.
Packages and boxes should be distinct.
Here again one's individuality should
predominate. There are a dozen ways
in which a package can be made up dif-
ferent from that of your competitors;
not alone in the color, but the shape of
the parcel and the mode of tying can be
features.
We have always preferred messengers
for delivery. While uniforms are to be
looked upon as more of an advertisement
than o herwise, if not overdone they are
good things, but beware of extremes.
Interior Eijuipment of Store.
The interior equipment of a flower
store should above all be inviting, but
The Best Commercial Ferns.
Read beftire the Philadelphia Florists' Club
by C. IV. Cox, February 5, 1901.
Your Essay Committee has selected me
to read a paper on " The Best Commer-
cial Ferns." From my own point of view
I think they have made a grave mistake
in this matter in selecting a grower to
tell you which ferns keep best in the
stores, which last longest in the ferneries
under adverse circumstances, and on
which varieties they realize from two to
three hundred per cent, proflt. Therefore,
it I tail to come up to your expectations,
the vote of censure is on the committee.
Ferns when well grown are indispen-
sable and possess peculiar attractions.
As their management gets better under-
stood their popularity increases, and the
now almost universal use of plants, and
especially of cut fronds, intermixed in
floral decorations, has led to the produc-
tion ot a few of the most suitable species
in immense quantities. As regards ferns.

not so grand that it will repel your cus-
tomer, except you have a line of custom
that necessitates this. As I have said
before, there is altogether too much simi-
larity in the modern flower stores. I can
recall a flower store, if it can be consid-
ered as such, which was really a parlor,
neatly, but not extravagantly turniahed.
Every opportunity was afforded to show
one's abilit.v todecorate a room, and the
party managing this place made a grand
success of her business; for that party
was a woman. She had customers who
freely spent their money with her, being
tempted more by the quality of the
flowers and her personal magnetism
than the interior arrangement of her
store.
We are, above all, or at least should
be, artists. Our work is more of a mis-
sionary nature. While It be true that the
proflt-and-loss account should be closely
watched, we must not think that this
alone will conduce to the success or fail-
ure of a concern. It is the man or woman
who throws his or her whole energy into
the work who succeeds; it is the concen-
tration of energy that tells to-day.
it may reasonabl.v be assumed that al-
though hundreds of thousands are now
grown where hundreds only were to be
found a few years ago, many good and
often most beautiful sorts are becoming
scarcer cver.v successive season. The rea-
son assigned for this state of things is
that kinds adapted to the purpose of
decorating are comparativel.v few in
number, and the demand for such being
yearl.v on the increase, it is only natural
that florists should devote more space to
these kinds to the exclusion of many
others which, however beautiful in them-
selves, are unsuitable for indoor decora-
tions.
A few ot the ferns may be called more
curious than beautiful, sue*! as the plat.v-
ceriums or stag horn ferns, of which 1 will
speak later.
1 have selected a few of the best varie-
ties that I consider most suitable for
growing as specimen decorative plants.
Adiantum Farleyense, queen ot maiden-
hairs, makes a fine specimen plant when
well grown. A.rhodophyllum is another
plant worthy ot notice, of compacthabit,
producing beautifully colored fronds.
This fern will be used largely in the future
as a substitute for A. Farleyense, as it is
of a more hnrdy nature. A. decorum is
another free-growing useful variety of
strong habit that will stand hard usage.
A. gracilis, a most elegant fern with
light graceful fronds, makes a novel speci-
men plant, and its fronds might be more
used with flne cut flowers. A. elegans, a
beautiful maidenhair, with light spread-
ing fronds, is much grown for cutting in
preference to A. cuneatn«i. A. Lathamii
is a beautiful variety, with spreading
recurved fronds, and "makes a flne pot
plant. A. Ghlesbreghtil, or scutum, a
very handsome fern which is most used
in Europe, makes a flne specimen and
ought to be more generall.v grown. A.
Kochfordianum. a most valuable fern of
a darker green color than Acuneatum, is
valuable to grow asa pot plant. A. cune-
atum, the old variety, is perhaps better
known and more cultivated than any
other maidenhair fern, probably because
It Is one of the most graceful and useful
of all the known species; indeed, nothing
can surpass the elegance of Its foliage for
general use among cut flowers.
Asplenium bulbiterum Is rarely seen In
this country, but is grown in large quan-
tities for the London market, and con-
sidered one of the most important ferns
for house decoration. A. laxum pumi-
lum, a beautiful species with finel.v cut
fronds of pale glaucous green, makes a
flne table plant. Clobtlum Schiedei,
though it appears soft, has been found to
stand well in decorations, and the large
fronds are remarkably handsome — a
very quick grower and profitable plant.
Cyrtomium falcatum, commonly called
the holly fern, remarkable for the thick
leathery substance of the fronds, makes
a good, useful plant for decorating when
grown in 6 or 7 inch pots. Da vallia fijien-
sis plumosa has large spreading fronds,
very finely divided, and makes a splendid
plant when grown in pots or pans.
D. Mooreana is undoubtedly one of the
handsomest decorative ferns known, with
large-spreading pale green fronds, and is
a free grower. U. hirta cristata (com-
monly called microlepia) is a beautiful
fern, with rather large green finel.v divid-
ed fronds, which spread over and termi-
nate with a beautiful tasseled crest. It is
destined to become a profitable plant
when well grown torspecimens. Lomaria
gibba ought to be more generally grown
than It is. I consider it a very useful
plant for decorating, as it makes a splen-
did specimen from fourtofive feet across,
and being so regular in growth Is per-
fectly distinct from all other ferns.
Nephrolepis is a most beautiful genus;
raan.v of the species have large drooping
fronds they are particularly adapted for
growing in elevated positions. N. bos-
toniensls is too well known to need any
comment. N. davallioides furcans is an
elegant variety w ith long arching pinnn te
fronds, the apices ot the pinnce being
forked and crested and the fronds ter-
minating In a branching crest. It makes
a noble specimen plant. N. WIttboldii
is a new variety, and from the few plants
I have seen it promises to become a very
useful tern.
Platycerlum alclcorne, stag horn fern,
is a very curious and interesting one,
which seems to be growing in favor for
decoratingconservatories.etc. It makes
a first-class novelty mounted on blocks,
finding ready sale. P. grande Is consid-
ered an improvement on the old variety,
being a stronger grower.
Polypodium aureum, a coarse-leaved
tern, but one that makes a very fine speci-
men in 6 and 7 inch pots, is well adapted
tor room decoration. A 2-inch pot plant
can be grown into a fine specimen in the
space ot a year.
Polystichum coriaceum is a most de-
sirable fern tor all purposes, on account
ot its strong leathery texture, and it will
stand rough usage.
The genus Pteris includes a greater
number of species and varieties than any
other family ot ferns and isalsn remarka-
ble for Its beautiful variegated and crest-
ed forms, the latter being ver.v numerous.
P. Mayli is beautifully crested and I con-
sider it one of the best to grow tor deco-
rations in 5 and 0 inch pots. P. Wim-
setti makes a fineplant for the same pur-
pose. P. Drinwkaterii is also a promis-
ing sort for growing into a good-sized
specimen. P. argyrsea creates a pretty
eHect when grown two and three plants
together In an 8-lneh pan. P. tremu'a
Smithiana, a very fine crested variety,
has the free, vigorous habit of the type,
each frond being divided into several dis-
tinct frondlets, and makes a nice specimen.
The great feature ot P. cretica-nobilis
is its bold, not to say stately habit, the
crested, light-colored fronds standing up
so well as to render a comparatively
small specimen exceedingly ornamental.

The Florists' Exchkngb.
135
There are several other varieties of
ferns that are usetui as specimea plants,
but I consider the above the most service-
able and proUtabie.
There seems to be a growing demand
for small ferns for planting in ferneries
and jardinieres. 1 consider well-grown
plants in <i-inch pots the most useful
for that purpose.
1 have selected a few species that I deem
the best, namely: Aspidium tsussimense,
Cyrtomium falcatum, C. Fortunel, C.
caryotydeum, I.astrea aristata varie-
gata, L. chrysoloba, L. opaca, Nephrole-
pis cordata compacta, Polypodium
aureum, I'oiystichum coriaceum, P. seto-
sum, Pteris hastata, P. Vlctoriie, P. no-
bills, P. nobilis variegata, P. Wimsetti,
P. densa nana compacta, P. serrulata
major, P. Mayii.
The foregoing list of small ferns is
worthy of special attention. When well
grown they ought to at least command
is per 100 to pay the grower. It has
been suggested to me on more than one
occasion by some of our leading Uorists
to make aspeolalty of such plants. Now,
it is a question whether these parties are
willing to pay that price for such stock
when they can purchase commoner kinds
at from !f 2 to ^6 per 100. Some of our
leading growers sell 5,000 for $100 in 2
to 2(/2 inch pots. Gentlemen, my advice
to you in this matter Is to grow sweet
alyssum at $2.50perl00; there is money
in it for you instead of growing ferns at
that price. It would be like a Guffey oil
well in comparison.
It is evident that the number of plant
growers have greatly increased, and the
collection of the plants they cultivate is
a proof that their conception of the beau-
tiful is not couflned to brilliant colored
flowers alone; but that they are able to
appreciate the elegance of our noble ferns
Independent of bloom, which has been for
so many years the sole aim of the florist,
who looked forward to the development
of these, in ;many instances short-lived
flowers, as the sole reward of a whole
season's labor. How it was that we
were so long in learning to love these
highly ornamental ferns it is difficult to
say, but we are becoming thoroughly
alive now to the noble beauty and grace-
fulness displayed by some of our valua-
ble ferns.
Let us state distinctly, however, that
great as our love for ornamental ferns
may be, we do not wish to exalt them to
the exclusion of the flowering plants, for
although the well-grown ferns are highly
ornamental when grouped together, we
are fully persuaded that a judicious selec-
tion from both classes, according to the
space at our disposal, is the surest way
of producing a gay and cheerful effect
throughout the entire year.
The cultivation of ferns is much eafier
than that of plants grown entirely for
the beauty of their flowers. To produce
plants profusely adorned with flowers,
close attention in resting and starting
into growth, etc, at the proper season
must be given. But the plants now under
consideration have to be treated upon
quite a different principle, for as their
beauty is to be sought in the foliage, the
object should be to make them grow as
vigorous as possible from the earliest
stages, so that their characters may be
seen at any early period of their exist-
ence.
Now, it is time, taking into considera-
tion the growing demand for ferns, that
the growers and retailers should get to-
gether and establish a system of regulat-
ing prices of well-grown good varieties,
so that the growercanmake a living out
of them, which we must admit he is not
doing at the present time at the prevail-
ing prices.
Among: the Growers^
Emerson McFadden, Short Hills, N. J.,
has the larger portion of his glass area
devoted to ferns and asparagus.
The crop of seed on the Asparagus
plumosus nanus has been very larve
this season. A. Sprengeri is used on side
benches chiefly, and on the center
benches of several houses young plants
of Boston ferns haverecently been put in.
Besides the young stock there are several
houses containing specimen plants. The
demand for this fern increases annually
and it does not seem as though one can
grow too much of it.
Mr. McFadden has a few plants of a
new variety of nephroiepls, raised from
one that sported from N. bostoniensls a
little over a year ago. The fronds are
not quite so heavy as those of the type,
but they have a pendulous habit which
gives the plant a most graceful appear-
ance.
In palms kentias are grown mostly;
there are about 50,000 on hand at pres-
ent that have been sown on the place.
A goodly portion of them are already in
5-inch pots; the rest are in the smaller
sized pots. Tiiere is also a large stock
of Areca lutescens in small sizes.
Five thousand Harrisii lilies are being
forced tor Easter. There has been little
disease apparent among the plants, and
they look strong and vigorous.
Adiantium Farleyense has one bouse
to itself, the stock consisting chiefly of
plants in 5-inch pots.
One house only is planted to carna-
tions. Out of 15,000 plants in the field
last Summer, through the effects of stem
rot only enough [jiants were saved to All
one house.
Anderson & Christenseu havethe range
of glass that formerly constituted the
orchid range of the Pitcher & Manda
concern. This embraces 15,000 square
feet and is devoted to the culture of ferns
only, Adiantum Farleyense being the
principle feature. Of this fern 10,000
plants are grown, and the stock is in
niaguitlcent shape. fjBst Fall a new
house was erected, 2+ x 110 feet in di-
mension, for the sole purpose of growing
this ndinntum. The output is disposed
of both as cut fronds and as plants, the
prominent retailers ot New York City
being the principal consumers.
This firm has also made a specialty of
Boston ferns grown in rustic boxes with
(45) Nitrate of Soda in liily Cul-
ture.—The use of nitrate of soda would
not in any way help force the longiflo-
rum lilies. It is a good fertilizer when
employed in conjunction witli other ma-
nures, but there is nothing to be gained
by using it on the lilies, as good ordinary
soil provides all the nutriment needed for
bulbous flowers.
(40) Temperature for Carnations.
— Please let me know the proper tempera-
ture for carnations during the day, with
cloudy weather and snow falling. Is 48
degrees sufficient on such a day for Day-
break ?
— A temperature of 48 degrees is too
low through thedaytirae; from 55 to 58
degrees will do much better in such
weather.
(47) Fertilizers for Carnations. —
In making up a compost lor carnations,
and by making the cuttings from the
half-matured wood.
(4'J) Flowers of Bride Rose De-
formed.— 1 send you flowers of Bride
rose, deformed, typical of a large percent-
age now opening, the deformity starting
in very suddenly last week. I fumigated
about 10 days ago with tobacco extract,
need undiluted on hot water pipes; after-
ward I fumigated with tobacco stems,
but noticed the deformed buds appeared
previous to that fumigation. The great
number of deformed flowers is certainly
the result of unnatural causes. What is
the trouble? — Subscriiieb.
— There seems to be much trouble just
now with roses coming deformed, the
weather conditions undoubtedly being
the cause in a great measure. In the
present instance we are inclined to believe
that there has been excessive feeding dur-
ing the short days when there has been
little or no sunshine, and the trouble
will not be seen on the next crop ot
flowers.
(50) Dalilias forSummerCut Flow-
ers.— Can dahlias be grown from seed for
cut flowers tor Summer blooming, to
bloom this season, or had I better get
plants or dry roots? — E. A. P.
— Dahlias can be grown easily from
seed and they will bloom the first sea-
son. Sow the seed as soon now as pos-
House of Adiantum Farleyense, grown by Anderson <& Cliristensen, Short Hills, N. J.
wires attached, so as to be used suspend-
ed from ceilings, etc. Another fern grown
extensively is a pteris, witii a very palm-
like frond, and for which they hud a good
demand. They call this variety P. ken-
tiana.
Besides the sorts mentioned many
thousand Adiantum cuneatum are
grown, and the stock is exceedingly
good. Mixed small ferns for fern dishes
are raised by the hundred thousand.
These are grown from the firm's own
saved seed. One house at the present
time is filled with flats containing the
newly transplanted seedlings, the esti-
mated number of which is over a quarter
of a million.
The Short Hills Hose Co. is the firm
name of .lohn Wilson and W. II. Miller.
The partnership was formed about three
years ago, and their glass area is about
28,000 feet. Uoses only are grown, and
one third of the establishment is planted
with Meteor. Tlie rest of the space is
occupied with Bride ami Bridesmaid, ex-
cepting one narr(tw l)ench, where Liberty
is being given a trial. The results so far
with Liberty have offered no inducements
toward reducing the numt)er of Meteor
to be grown for another year. Tiie entire
place was in full crop for Christmas, and
the firm was highly pleased with the re-
turns from the holiday trade. All plants
are carried over and grown a second sea-
son, one-half of the stock being replanted
each year.
what is the best material to use where
cow manure cannot lie obtained? I have
well-rotted horse manure, bone ashes,
sheep manure, etc., but can get no cow
manure. — Subsckibek.
— To make up the compost for carna-
tions use at the rate of four loads of soil
and one load of the rotted horse manure.
The bone ashes are not necessary, and
the siieep manure we would save for use
as a mulch on the beds when the plants
are growing.
(4.S) Propajjjitinff Crini.son Haiii-
l>ler Hose. — Kindly advise as to the best
method to pursue to propagate large
quantities of Crimson Rambler rose cut-
tings during the Summer months?
I have a quantity of two and three-
year plants that have been cut back to
eight inches of tlie ground: also some
young plants. Which are the l)etter for
the purpose? Can best results be ob-
tained from plants grown In the green-
house or fleUl 7 Do the cuttings require
bottom heat during the Summer'.' — Cen-
tral fiEORUIA.
—To propagate the Crimson Kanibler
rose througli the Summer months we
ilpoHid advise growing the stock In the
greenhouse throughout, until the requi-
site number of cuttings had been ob-
tained. The older plants will furnish
the most cuttings, therefore they are to
be preferred. The best results will be
obtained if a little bottom beat be used
sible, and keep the plants growing in
pots until time to plant outdoors. If cer-
tain varieties and colors are wanted, the
surest plan will be to procure dry roots.
Start them the middle of this month;
make cuttings frf)m the young growtlis
and plant outdoors when the weather is
warm enough.
(51 ) California Privet.— Last Fall I
planted a hedge of California Privet on
low ground, and now,. 'ifter ji lieavy rain,
two weeks ago, followed liy zero weather,
the plants are standing in about two to
three inches of ice. Will this kill the
plants, and is there anytliing I could do
to save them'.' — Chr. Hash.
—The probability is that the privet
will suffer no injury from the ice, no more
than it would from frozen soil. Neither
Is beneficial to plants not over hardy.
When the ice thaws, take measures to
drain off the water. If treni'lies were
(lug, one on each siile of tlie hedge, the
soil from them tlirown ngainst tlie
plants, to be raked off in Spring, it would
keep the water from tlie plants in case o
further overflows. From your descrip-
tion of the locati n. It is not a good one
for privets. Should water stand nliout
them in Winter, it Is not as Injurhius as
It would be In Spring or when they are
growing. Dorniiint plants will stand
being In water tor some time without in-
jur.y, but when growing, are soon killed
by It.— J. M.

The F^lorists* Exchkngb.
(50) Site forGreenhoases.— All rose
growers will say that greeuhouses hav-
ing a wet or a clay bottom are the most
susceptible to mildew conditions. We all
know, too, that a dry, sandy site is con-
daeive to good plant health. But I can
count up any number of my neighbors
who have each one or more houses with
a long tank ot water under the middle
benches; and these parties will all
promptly tell you that their tanked
houses never have mildew as readily
as any of their other houses Now,
what is wetter than solid water? If
we've got to work for a dry site for a
greenhouse, why are these houses with a
permanent puddle extending their whole
length so exempt? — Perplexed.
— Where roses are grown on raised
benches, it matters little to the experi-
enced rose grower whether the houses
are built on a wet clay bottom or upon
a sandy bottom, as he has the means to
keep tberootsat a properdegree of mois-
ture, and can also regulate the heat and
humidity of the temperature. As for the
puddle under the center benches— as the
tank Is called— it can do very little good
or harm. Being there constantly it re-
mains at about the same even tempera-
ture; and if it were not tliere, the grower
wiiuld wet the ground it occupies every
time it got dried out, in order to bring
about the same moist conditions under
tbe bench that prevail all the time when
the tank is there.
(51) Diseased Liilium Harrisii.— I
send you a few leaves taken from some
plants of Harrisii lilies I am forcing,
which show a defect that I have not seen
before. The whole lot is affected more
or less, as the samples. I should like to
learn through your columns, if possible,
what the trouble is, the cause and
the remedy, if any.— A. A. Y., Jr.
— The Harrisii lily leaves were severely
frosted when they reached us, but this
probably occurred in transit. I presume
the trouble to which Inquirer refers is
the browning and the dying of the tips
of the leaves. This is very apt to occur
on plants which have been forced rather
too rapidly, and which do not have
strong root action. The browning and
death are brought on by wetting the
foliage, especially underconditions where
it does not dry off quickly. When water
is sprayed on theplant with a force of 15
to 20 pounds, or even thrown from a
hose with considerable force, as is occa-
sionally done In watering, the water
passes through the epidermis of the
leaves, filling the spaces between the cells
and giving the leaves a water-logged ap-
pearance. Unless this water dries out
within 24 hours, the tissues ot the leaves
will slowly suffocate and die. The tex-
ture of the leaves is too delicate, which
indicates that they have been grown
under conditions rather too moist. The
browning of the upper leaves is not likely
to continue further than the tips, though
the lower leaves are apt to droop and
die. It the plants are less than a foot
high the temperature ot the house, the
moisture of the air, and the heat may be
very gradually reduced. The plants will
harden up somewhat and show less of
the trouble. A sudden change, however,
would bedisastrous.— Albert F. Woods'
United States Department ot Agriculture]
(52) SlirabsnearSaltWater.— I am
going to plantsome shrubs on a cliff. fac-
ing the salt water, sloping to the West.
Will azaleas and rhododendrons answer,
or what other kinds will do in such a
place?— A., Conn.
—We do not think a cliff facing to the
West a good situation for rhododen-
drons, unless they were well sheltered by
other shrubs. The sun in Winter would
surely destroy most ot their leaves. Aza-
leas might do very well. The proximity
of salt water has but little to do with
the well-doing ot plants. Anywhere
along our coasts, also the coasts ot
Hurope, where the soil is good, trees and
shrubs hug almost the high water mark.
In your own state, along Long Island
Sound, may be seen many examples of
this. Winds are usually to be feared and
salt spray, but there are some shrubs
that do not mind these things. Along
the New Jersey coast, the beautiful ever-
green, or almost evergreen, Myrica ceri-
tera, flourishes grandly, so does Baccharis
halimitolia, Prunus americana and P.
raaritima, Cratasuus crus-galli, Clethra
alnitolia and holly; and not far inland
the following: Magnolia glauca, Ame-
lanchior canadensis, variousandromedas
and vaeciniums, azaleas, laurel (kalmia),
Ceanothus americanus, red cedar, sweet
fern, Carolina rose and varieties of vibur-
nums. To these mightbeadded Virginia
creeper, honeysuckles, Rhus typhina and
I{.aromatica,Tamarixafricana,T.indica,
the former flowering in Spring, the latter
in August, Cephalanthus oceidentalls
privet in variety, snow berries and the
Scotch heather. These will thrive there,
provided, of course, they find ample soil
and moisture.
There are many tall growing peren-
nials that would be at home there —
marsh mallow and foxglove for instance,
and such a situation is the home of the
sea pink, Armeria maritima and Lotus
cornicuiatus, two dwarf growing peren-
nials.— J. M.
(53) Green Centers in Violet Flow-
ers.— Our violet plants are now growing
nicely and are free from disease, but many
ot the flowers show green centers. What
causes this'— A. B. C.
— Green or white centers in violet
blooms are not uncommon, and under
favorable conditions may cause serious
loss. There are at least two forms of
this trouble, the most common of which
might be taken tor the true bull-headed
or green-centered flowers. This latter is
due to the presence ot immense numbers
of bud eel worms in the flower buds be-
tween the petals, and the only remedy
known is to grow plants free from this
pest. The true bull-head or green center
in violet blooms has not, in the writer's
judgment, been satisfactorily accounted
for, notwithstanding the many theories
that have been advanced. Some claim
that it is due to an over-supply of availa-
ble nitrogen in the soil, which forces a
too rapid growth ot the vegetative parts
ot the plants; others believe it is the re-
sult of an unbalanced physical condi-
tion of the plants; while still others at-
tribute it to the temperature at which
the plants are growing, some claiming
that it is most prevalent when the tem.
tom heat. As soon as they are rooted,
pot into 214-inch pots, taking care that
they are not left in the sand after roots
have formed.
By the middle of March take the old
plants from under the bench, shake them
out of the pots and repot into good fresh
soil. They will go into much smaller
sized pots than those from which they
are taken, as a large portion of the roots
are of no further use and will fall away
when shaken out. After potting, start
the plants In a warm house, but be care-
ful they do not suffer from over watering.
After the first watering a light syringing
daily will be almost all that is needed
until growth starts. When the young
shoots that will be made are large
enough, take and use them for cuttings,
always leaving one eye of the young
growth so that they will break again
and furnish other cuttings later. When
these green cuttings are put in the sand,
shade them well and keep wet all the
time, potting them in the small pots as
soon as rooted. Keep the old plants
growing as long as additional cuttings
are needed, taking the last batch not
later than the first of August. The later
struck plants make excellent subjects for
putting several plants together in pans.
The main feature of the poinsettla is to
have it well furnished with foliage near
would do the work. Also how the bouses
should be piped to heat them to the dif-
ferent degrees as noted on plan; how
deep I would have to make theboilerpit.
Also state what size pipe should be used.
— F. E. C.
— The plan shows three houses running
north and south and four new houses
that run east and west. Two of the old
houses are 18 x 62 feet and 12 feet to the
ridge, and one of them has two feet of
glass in the south wall, while the other,
as well as house No. 3, is built against
other houses. These houses are to be
heated to 56 degrees. No. 3 is 12 x 56
feet and 8 feet to the ridge and is to be
heated to 50 degrees. The four new
houses are 18 x 110 feet and 12 feet to
the ridge. House No. 4 of this range has
two feet of glass in one wall. No tem-
perature is given for these houses. "The
houses will need abont4,400 feet of radi-
ation, and this can be supplied by a 50-
horse power boiler, but it will require
much less attention if it is ot a larger size.
The new houses that are 18 feet wide
and are to be heated to 56 degrees can
be supplied by three 2%-inch flows and
eight 2-iDch returns, except where there
is glass in the side wall, when another
return should be provided. It only 50
degrees is desired inany ot the new houses
the piping can be reduced by one flow

perature is too high and others when It
is too low. These theories, however,
would hardly hold, in view ot the fact
that the same plant frequently throws
perfect blooms and blooms with white or
green centers at the same time. So far
as the writer has observed, the trouble is
most common in the Fall and early Win-
ter, its development appearing to be fa-
vored, especially in Swanley White and
the Marie Louise and its several strains,
by the variation in temperature, the
shorter days, the comparatively small
amount of sunlight during this period,
and the transition of the plants from the
vegetative to the flower-forming period.
I would give very much to know the
views of some of the older and more ex-
perienced growers of violets in regard to
this phenomenon, and if it is possible
would like to see them published in the
columns of The Florists' Exchange.
My reply to A. B. C. in The Florists'
EX0H4NGE of December 29, 1900, covers
practically the same ground as the fore-
going in regard to true bull-heads or
green-centered blooms, but in the former
I did not distinguish between the similar
injuries. P. H. Dobsett.
(54) Poinsettias. — I would like to
know through the Question Box of your
valuable paper if it would pay to grow
poinsettias for the wholesale market.
What is the right time to start them;
what kind of soil do they require to keep
them in good growing condition; how
am I to keep them through the Summer
and later until they are finished? Would
like to have them ready for the Christ-
mas trade. — E. C.
— Poinsettias are usually very profita-
ble when had in good condition for the
Christmas holidays, and more particu-
larly so when grown rather dwarf and
sold singly in pots or several together in
pans. When bench-grown and allowed
to get tall, they sell fairly well as cut
specimens, but there Is, we believe, more
money in them when grown in pots or
pans and marketed in that form. The
old plants are presumably at the present
time resting under a bench in a warm
greenhouse. About the middle ot Febru-
ary shorten back the canes so as to get
a batch ot cuttings in at that time. Cut
the canes to two eyes and put the pieces
in the sand where there is a good bot-
to the edge ot the pot, and to this end
plauts must be kept growing right along
without any check whatsoever. Pot into
larger sizes when necessary, using a soil
composed of two-thirds loam and one
third well rotted manure. In Summer
time, put them out doors where they will
get tbe full sun and be sheltered from the
wind. Plunged in a deep frame is the
right place for them. Never allow the
poinsettla to get dry enough at the roots
to wilt the foliage. Bring the plants
back Into the house at tbe first approach
ot cool nights. See that they are potted
into the flowering size pots before Octo-
ber, and as these pots get filled with
roots, commence feeding with liquid ma-
nure. The temperature must be kept at
60 degrees at the lowest, a tew degrees
higher will be better even.
(55) ConditionofPipesand Boilers.
— Is it advantageous to keep hot-water
pipes In greenhouses free from rust and
dirt? If so, how clean should they be kept,
and what is tbe best method for remov-
ing the rust? Will 2-lnch pipe that has
been "dipped" In aspbaltum give as
much heat as new or second-hand pipe
that has not been so treated? Should
the boiler and pipes be kept full of water
when not In use during the Summer
months?— C. W. H.
— When pipes are thickly incrusted with
rust they give off less heat than new or
clean pipes. Before the plpesare in place
the rust can be removed by burning and
pounding, but afterward a stiff wire
brush can be used. A thick coat ot as-
phalt acts in the same way as a crust of
rust, and besides this it should never be
used on theoutside ot pipes employed for
greenhouse beating, as it injures the
pi nuts.
The oxidation of the interior of the
pipes is caused by the action of the air in
water. Most ot this has been given off
from the water during the Winter, and
the Injury will be less than when the
water Is drawn off during the Summer
and the pipes refilled In the Fall. — L. R.
Taft.
(56) Greenhouse Heating. — I In-
close a rough drawing of proposed new
greeuhouses that I wish to build. I would
like to know through the Question Box
the size of boiler required to heat same,
and It a lOO-horse power tubular boiler
and one return. In the 12-foot house
two 2-Inch flows and four 2-inch returns
will be suflicient. As the boiler Is located
opposite the middle of the north side of
this house, it will be best to supply these
houses by means of a 4-inch pipe, carried
just underground across the middle of
the houses, and then take off the small
flow pipes and carry them in either direc-
tion.
If this Is done each end of the old 18-
toot houses win need two 2-inch flow
pipes, and house No. 1, with the glass in
the side wall, will require 11 2-inch re-
tarns, while house No. 2 will be heated
with only 10.
Tbe boiler should, it possible, be low
enough to bring the top below the level
of the walks in tbe houses.
The new houses are built west of the
boiler bouses and are so located that the
partition wall between the two middle
houses Is opposite the boiler. A 3!4 or
4 inch pipe may be taken off to supply
each ot the houses, or two 5-lnch pipes
may be used, each of which will supply
two houses, and these can be reduced
after the first house Is taken off. The
flow pipes can be carried above the
benches either on the purlin posts or on
the plates, and the returns can be dis-
tributed under the benches and on the
side walls. Where solid beds are used
some ot the returns may be attached to
the sides of the benches.— L. R. Taft.

N. J. Floricultural Society.
After a short buBlnesse eession oT this so-
ciety on Wednesday evening, theprincipai
feature of which was the election of two
new members, those present adjourned
to a near by hotel to partal^e of their
sixth annual dinner. The generous hos-
pitality of this society Is so well known
that no comment upon the viands pro-
vided is necessary here. On the tables were
many choice specimens of the gardeners'
art, the chief of which were some very
excellent cyclamens grown by Secretary
George Smith. President John Hayes
thanlied the visitors for their presence,
and called upon the secretary to say a
few words regarding the society. Mr.
Smith gave a brief rfeumfi of the worii
done during the past year, mentioning
particularly the distribution of plants to
children in the Spring, and the exhibits
of the children's efforts that had been
held in the Fall. There were 989 entries
for tills show and the amount of good
done by the enterprise cannot be esti-
mated.
President O'Mara spoke for the S. A.
F. O. H. lu the course of his remarks,
he stated that the National Society had
a niche for each and every individual con-
nected with horticulture, and he hoped
that more private gardeners would be-
come members of that body.
Dr. Ward, spoke for the State Horticul-
tural Society, saying that an appropria-
tion of J3,000 would be asked to enable
the State to be properly represented at
the forthcoming Pan-American Exposi-
ton. W. A. Duekham followed with a
few remarks on the Morris County Socie-
ty, after which Dr. Kitchen gave a brief
r^sumt of his experience among orchids.
The doctor also spoke about a fuel saver
which lie is having patented. The device
is attaclied to thesmoke pipeand aceom-
plislies a saving of one-third in the coal
bill.
J. W. Withers spoke on the fraternal feel-
ing that ought to be more universal
among gardeners. John N. May pointed
out the many benefits accruing from chil-
dren's flower shows, such as the society
had held last Fall. Wni. J. Stewart
treated the subject of the horticultural
press in his usual versatile manner, aud
W. Barthoiomte responded for the New
York Gardeners' Society.
The subject " Our Sister Societies" had
been assigned to Alex. Wallace, who, not
being able to attend, sent a few remarks
on the subject, which were read to the
members. J. B. Davis responded for the
ladies, and handled the subject as only a
theorist can. M'leic on the cornet and
violin was rendered at intervals by Mr.
Taylor and Mr. Hayes, the latter a son
of the president.
Midnight broughtthe happy gathering
to a close. Among visitors who were
present were W. A. Duekham, C. H. At-
kins, and C. Totty from Madison; John
N. May and H. Hurreii, Summit, and P.
O'Mara. Wm. J. Stewart, W. Bartholo-
m!E,and S.S. Butterfleld from New York.

Trade Notes.
Dull wintry weather has had a
somewhat depressing effect on the flower
business generally, and practically all
that is doing at this time is In funeral
work with a limited trade in cut flowers.
Society affairs seem to be rather quiet.
The supply of choice flowers is not large
and Ib at times inadequate to fill de-
mands. The dark, cloudy weather of
the past two weeks has shortened up the
supply of roses and carnations; good
stock of either is much sought and prices
of both are very firm at the same rates
as last quoted, viz. : Carnations, $2 for
ordinary and $.'i to $4 for select; roses,
$4 and $5 for short-stemmed flowers
and $8, $10 and $12 for the best. Bride
and Meteor are very small, but some
good stock of Bridesmaid is seen.
Dutch bulb stock is more plentiful than
it has been at any previous writing and
is improving in quality. Tulips are quite
abundant and are much longer in stem;
the best flowers bring $3 per 100. The
principal varieties are Yellow Prince and
La Reine. Some of the later scarlet sorts
are coming in and are still a little short
m stem, showing also the effects of hard
forcing. Dutch hyacinths are offered in
limited quantities.
Violets are on every hand and in good
quantities. These find a brisk 8ale--Cali-
fornla at $1 and best grade of doubles
at $1.50 per 100. G. A. T.
Montreal.
Trade Notes.
Business here is still decidedly glow
and stock of all sorts is plentiful for all
demands. Colored flowers, with the ex-
ception of daffodils, aredragging heavily.
Daffodils both single and double have
been in under supply, as there were but
very few on the market. The insufliciency
is now remedied, and plenty of both sorts
can be obtained. The continued ravages
of la grippe and pneumonia have caused
a demand for white flowers, and this has
in a measure redeemed what would have
otherwise iieen a black fortnight. Tulips
and Dutch hyacinths are iningoodquan-
tity and very fair quality, but there is
little demand. Good mignonette sells.
Paper White narcissus and Roman hya-
cinths are useless lor any thing but made —
up work. Freesias are fine and get their
share of patronage.
Wholesale rates keep up out of all pro-
portion to the prices to be obtained here,
and considerable grumbling Is heard
among the retailers.
Jottings.
There Is anapparently well-founded
rumor that a local man who has hither-
to been very little heard of In the whole-
sale line is to build an extensive plant
this coming Summer lor cut-flower
growing.
The wreath sent by the club to deco-
rate our late Queen's statue was a most
artistic piece of work. It was over 5 feet
in diameter and was composed princi-
pally of white orchids, cypripediums
and violets, with clusters of lilies, roses,
heather and shamrock, to represent the
four predominatlngnationalities. That,
together with an immense star represent-
ing the order of the Garter, made by Jos.
Bennett for the students of the McGlII
University, were the most admired of the
whole decoration.
The weather since Christmas has been
fairly bright, but very cold. Only once
or twice has the glass risen above the
freezing point, and then only for an hour
or two in the middle of the day. Night
temperatures have invariably been be-
low zero, sometimes falling to 20 below.

BusiDesB remains good and stock
scarce. We have been having dark, cloudy
weather, with occasional snow. .Sunday
eveuins a severe thunder storm accom-
panied with hail passed over this section,
but so far I have heard of no damage.
Saturday, in company with William
Murphy and Thomas Wlndram, the writer
went out to I^ockiand to see W. K. Part-
idge and his four new houses, 200 feet
long. Ail but one house is planted in
carnations of the newer varieties. Con-
siderlnK the late start they had the plants
are looking well His rose house is en-
tirely off crop, but he is no exception in
this "respect, as everybody else is in the
same predicament. I am sure that with
this fine range of houses and another
new range going up this Spring he will
have the model establishment in this
section.
The report reaches me this morning,
February ,5, of much damage done by
tbe storm that passed over this section
Sunday evening at about 9:;i0. Ed.
Murphy's greenhouses were demolished.
There were three of them, each 100 feet
in length. A sash house on the west side
was picked up bodily and went clear
through the other houses. A smoke-
house and au outhouse, standing some
distance away, were also thrown upon
the houses. His wagon shed and two
new wagons were destroyed. The storm
was accompanied with severe hail, thun-
der and lightning, and, of course, a high

Trade Notes.
With the exception ot little spurts
in funeral work on some days, in most
quarters store trade is decidedly light
and quiet. Though not really severe,
weather conditions that may be termed
decidedly cold are with us, accompanied
with a foot ot snow and good sleighing.
Such conditions incline the growers to
hibernate, and while the supply of flow-
ers is a bit better than along back, it
still continues light in most lines.
Rebstock has some good showy
azaleas in his window display. Between
well grown primroses of a pleasing
quality and character, augmented by
delicate paper trimmings, Anderson
affects a "pink effect." Palmers are
making a wreath display, composed in
large part of the chocolate-color-finished
magnolia leaves. Some Liberty roses
here seen may be called specimens as re-
gards beauty and quality. Vidi.

Ottawa.
Trade News.
The death of Queen Victoria placed
Ottawa in mourning, which to the flo-
rists means much. All entertainments
were discontinued, and to a certain ex-
tentthis will hold all Winter. There has
been an extra demand for funeral flowers
the past two weeks. Though we have
had lots of snow storms, the weather,
on the whole, has been bright; stock la
good, with an over-abundance of violets.
Carnations are fairly plentiful; roses fair;
lily of the valley extra good. Bulbous
stock moves slowly, with the exception
of hyacinths.
About Caruations.
We are again awaiting the carna-
tion convention for our annual supply
of pointers as to the best varieties to
grow. Some facts about carnations
strike one in reading the trade journals.
For instance, the decline of enthusiasm
over The Marquis, the steady way in
which Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson holds its
own, and the difference of opinion over
Ethel Crocker. The last named with us
has fine qualities — grand stem, a clean
grower, a fine flower, with remarkable
keeping qualities, and a good propagat-
or. A fact that surprises one is that in
looking over the carnation advertise-
ments, hardly one mentions Glacier.
Now, with us, this season, I think Gla-
cier has been the most profitable of all,
even moreso than White Cloud; notwith-
standing in the forepart of the season
the stems were not long enough for very
fancy trade. Yet the strength of the stem
makes it preferable to such as Flora
Hill, etc. I see a similaropinion holds in
Toronto; anyway, it seems to be too
good a carnation to leave out of lists
G. H.Crane in Ottawa has done finely;
hardly any stem rot and giving good
flowers. America we have had no chance
to judge, as from the moment of bous-
ing rust fastened on to it and completely
ate up the plants. In our houses it is
Hanked on either side by General Maceo
and G. H.Crane, perfectly rustless. Day-
break has held its own with us under
cold treatment. Flora Hill has bten
poor, seemingly not so vigorous as for-
merly. White Cloud has been fine and
very healthy. Melba has a beautiful col-
or and is a good 'grower, but hardly
large enough. I have a fancy for the
nameEorna, and shall watch the appear-
ance of that variety at the convention.
It has points in advance of White Cloud.
It must be a good one.
Mr. McHuldenson was in town last
week looking up his palm, azalea and lily
of the valley orders. His stock of th9
latter has been very fine this year. E,

Trade Notes.
Business Is now moving along
fairly well, with the market much better
supplied than it has been for the past
two or three weeks. Roses, which have
been in very short supply, are now in
quantities more than equal to the de-
mand. Carnations also are much more
abundant.
American Beauty roses, however, are
still scarce and maintain their price. Val.
ues on other varieties have weakened
somewhat, owing to the increased quan.
tity. The limited supply of the Queen of
Edgely is cleaning up dally at prices
about even with those for American
Beauty of corresponding grades. Prices
on carnation have also weakened on all
but the fancies, which hold out pretty
well at $i and $5 per 100. Finer grades
of other carnations average $2.50 per
100.
In narcissus daffodils are now quite
plentiful and sell pretty well at $3 per
100. PrlncepsandTrumpetsmake $2. ."50.
Cam pern el les a re in goodsupplyat $1.50.
Tulips are coming along quite fast
and average $3 per 100 for single white,
pink, red and yellow, Keieerskroon mak-
ing $3.50 and $i per 100. Double white
realize $4 and are not very plentiful yet.
A few Dutch hyacinths have been brought
in. Lilies are not so plentiful, and sell
pretty well at $12.50 per 100. Callas
make $fi to $10. Lily of the valley is a
little more abundant, but much of it is of
rather poor quality. Violets are very
plentiful and are going hard.
Warren Ewell Is bringing in some fine
lily of the valley in pots, which sells well.
The News.
A special meeting of the Gardeners
and Florists' Club has been called for
Tuesday evening, February 12, at which
it Is hoped a large attendance will be
present.
It is reported that Mr. H. Pfatf has
purchased the well-known Francis B.
Hayes estate at Lexington, and contem-
plates extensive planting in the Spring.
To-day (Saturday, February 9) George
A. Sutherland gives up his store at 07
Bromfleld Street which was the oldest
established commission flower store in
Boston. He goes to a much more com-
modious place at 34 Hawley Street,
where he will be better able to handle his
Increasing trade. The business of late
years had outgrown the limits of the old
store, and the thought of removal had
loug been under consideration, having
been made final by the sale of the Horti-
cultural Hall nuilding.ln the basement of
which Mr. Sutherland's store waslocated.
William J. Stewart, who has had his
office In connection with Mr. Sutherland's
store for years, has taken offices at the
corner of Federal and Milk Streets.
Norris F. Comle.v is now bringing in
some of the finest Lady Hume Campbell
violets seen in the Boston market.
Massachusetts Horticultural Society.
At the meeting .Saturday last six
new members were admitted. Avery in-
teresting display .was made at the sched-
uled exhibition. Oakes Ames staged a
magnificent collection of orchids in va-
riety, which included several choice and
rare sorts. C. G. Roebling sent in a fine
plant of Cypripedlum tesselatum var.
Harrislanum, for which a certificate of
merit was awarded. In plants prizes
were offered for freesias, but only a sec-
ond prize was awarded, H. Dumaresq
winning it. Mrs. B. P. Cheney showed a
dozen nice plants of Primula obconica
and R. & J. Farquhar staged a collection
of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine var. nana
compacta, for which a silver medal was
awarded. The plants were in excellent
shape and in full bloom. In cut flowers
prizes were awarded for orchids, violets,
carnations and camellias. Oakes .\mes'
collection of orchids before mentioned
easily carried off first prize. For violets
Norris F.Comley had everything his own
way, showing some excellent blooms in
six varieties. In carnations M. A. Pat-
ten staged the finest lot. James Comley
and J. W. Howard showed some very
well-grown camellias. W. J. Clemson ex-
hibited freesias. F. J. N.

Club Meeting:.
Not many turned out to the meet-
ing on Tuesday evening. The night was
very cold and with a strong wind blow-
ing, so most all felt it proper to stay
home and watch the greenhouses. C. W.
Cox read an interesting paper on ferns.
He told the retailers plainly that to have
the best varieties of ferns they must pay
a good price tor them, otherwise the
grower could not afford to raise them.
John Burton said he saw there were
some growers yet worseoff than the rose
growers. American Beauty at this time
of year at $9 per dozen was bad enough,
but ferns at $4 per 100 was worse.
George C. Watson said these growers tell
us what varieties of plants to grow, but
they always omit saying how to grow
them; he thought that was not the
proper spirit, and hoped in future to see
it changed.
At the March meeting of the club Wil-
liam P. Craig will prepare and read a pa-
per on the carnation convention. It has
been arranged to have a smoker at the
next meeting. The business will be started
promptly, thus allowing lots of time for
members toenjoy themselves. The House
Committee will have a good supply of
refreshments on hand.
Cut-Flower Notes.
The retail stores are doing a good
business, and from present indications
the next two weeks will be a busy time.
There are yet many social affairs to come
off and Ash Wednesday is near at band.
Receptions, dinners and a few weddings
have kept all busy this week. The sup-
ply of cut flowers has been larger. Roses
are rather more plentiful; the demand
for white flowers is yet in excess of the
supply, however. Violets are very plen-
tiful and not quite up to the quality of
the past few weeks; $1 perlOOis the best
price obtained for violets just now.
Carnations are selling very well; white
are still in strong demand. Smilax is
being used very freely ; good strings are
selling at 20c. David Kust.

Market Conditions.
The death of our Queen has cast
such a gloom over the city that general
cut-flower business has been dull. The
deaths of several very prominent citizens
created a trade in white flowers, and
stock has not been so over plentiful.
Some of the designs sent out lately have
been of very high standard— a great con-
trast to those used a few years ago. Fine
roses, lily of the valley and violets are
around, also white carnations.
A Carnation ShoTr and Meeting:.
Arrangements have been made to
hold a carnation meeting on the fith
or 7th of next month. There isno doubt
that It will be the best ever held in To-
ronto. Nearly all the promincntgrowers
both in the United States and Canada
have promised to send exhibits. The
show will be held in one of our best
buildings and will be free to the public.
Growers from all over Ontario have sig-
nifled their intention to be present, and
we expect to have many visitors from
the United States also. The Hortcultu-
ral Society is helping with the arrange-
ments.

The shortage in roses and lilies
helps other classes of tlowers, iucluding
tulips and other bulbousstoek generally.
Carnations are more plentiful, excepting
white varieties. Pink and red sorts of
standard grades drag somewhat. It is
the general impression that there will be
greatly increased cuts very shortly, and
some predict low prices, especially 11 rosea
also once get in crop. Tulips are coming
In with longer stems, and, like other
flowers, get used la place of roses. Vio-
lets are still at the bottom of the heap so
far as the call Is concerned. Lilies, so
far, are very disappointing this year,
Uarrisii particularly so. Even the longi-
florums are not what they ought to be.
There seems to be a bad mixture; few
benches show even clean growth of Har-
risli; often not half the crop comes any-
thinglikesatistactory. Somegrowers will
not get the cost of the bulbs out of the
product. The general talk is that so far
a smaller number will be planted another
year. This should help the old standby,
the calla, which it might be well to bear
in miud, as large white flowers of some
kind are indispensable lor funeral work.

Club Doinga.
The regularmeetingwasheld in the
club rooms February 1,G. L. Grant act-
ing as secretary pro tern. George H.
Hartungwas elected to membership. The
question as to whether the club wished
to do anything this year relative to the
cooperative purchase of coal by grow-
ers was brought up by W.N.Rudd. Some
discussion was had on the matter, and
Messrs. Rudd, Risch, Welter, Reinberg
and Wittbold were appointed a commit-
tee. A communication was received in-
viting the club to participate lu the
American Carnation Society's meeting
and exhibition to be held in Baltimore
this month. G. L. Grant, P. J. Haue-
wirth andE.S. Winterson were appointed
a committee on transportation and other
matters relative to the club's attendance
at the meeting of the S.A. K. O.H.at Buf-
falo next August.
The subject of discussion for the even-
ing being an Important one and han-
dled by two prominent members, brought
out quite a good attendance. W. W.Coles,
of Kokomo, Ind., was present and took
part in the discusson that followed.
The first paper read was by W. N. Rudd
on "Iron Construction versus Wood;"
the second on ".Saving .Space in Green-
house Construction by Using 1 ron Gutters
and Iron Posts," by George A. Garland,
Desplaines, 111. Both gentlemen received
a hearty vote of thanks.
Jottinga.
Peter Reinberg and his nephew,
Peter Weiland, expected to leave for In-
diana this Monday morning, to select
laud for greenhouse building there, but
the heavy snow storm may delay their
departure. They will, as a first essay,
build 10 houses, each 30 x 300 feet, Ave
for roses and five for carnations, al-
though one house may be built for as-
paragus. Mr. Weiland says bulbs may
also be grown. Mr. Reinberg had secured
1,500 boxes of glass before the late rise
in price, but It will take another .'JOO
boxes to complete the job. Peter Weiland
win be the manager, and the stock will
be soldatMr. Relnberg's wholesale store.
William Johnson, a well-to-do Board
of Trade man, residing at Hinsdale, has
purchased 10 acres of land close to Bas-
sett & Washburn's, where it is said he
will build greenhouses and grow carna-
tions.
J. A. Budlong will build two new
houses, a5 X SOU feet, adjoining the range
erected last year. Hereafter he proposes
growing onl.v American Beauty and Me-
teor roses, depending upon consignors lor
other stock. This will give him eight big
houses for American Beauty and I*i for
Meteor.
Hugh Harmon ,with E. H. Hunt, left
this week on a Southern trip in the inter-
ests of the firm. He will go as far as New
Orleans.
J. C. Vaughan's store windows are just
now very gay with azaleas.
H. C. Freese has given up his retail
flower store, at 72 State Street, owing
to a breakdown in health. The store
will be run by A. Seifei until May 1.

Trade Notes.
The supply of stock is still away
below the den^and. This is especially no-
ticeable In roses, which are very scarce.
Price remains at 8c. for the best, which
are not anythingexra generally. Values
ou carnations havestiffened the past few
days; good tiowers bring 3c. Bulbous
stock has been used up cleaner with a
somewhat better price, in sympathy with
theshortage In other etocks. Vloletshave
come lu freely, and all seem to he cleaned
out early in the day at $1.50 per 100.
Canipernells sell at $1 per 100.
Business is good In all lines; the only
trouble Is to get stock. The weather
here has been a little more wintry in
character, still i>ot real cold so far.
Notes.
J. S. Wilson, of Vaughan's, is here on
a lew days' visitto his relatives, aud will
iucldentally do a little business.

Weather and Trade Conditions.
Wintry weatherseemsto have come
for good. The thermometer hovering
between 10 and 20 degrees has had the
effect of shorteningup stock considerably
and keeping up prices at good flgures.
Bulbous stock is rather abundant. Tu-
lips are coming in better and in more va-
riety. Harrisii lilies are yet scarce. Vio-
lets are plentiful; mignonette is very fine,
also pot plants of lilac, but these are not
in great demand. Yellow narcissus go
fairly well. Pot plants of Dutch hya-
cinths are scarce yet, being later than
usual. Sales of decorative plants, palms,
etc., have been rather slow the past few
weeks.
Great activity is noticeable in the seed
trade at W. C. Beekert's, in Allegheny.
The last month was a very busy one, far
better than last year at the same time.
(Julte a number of visitors were In
town the past week, iucluding M. Itcn-
kauf, of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., B. Ewch-
ner, of M. Rice & Co., of Philadelphia,
and Robert Greenlaw, of N. F. McCarthy
& Co., of Boston.
The t'ebruary meeting of tbe Florists'
Club takes place Thursday, February 14,
at the I'ittsburg Cut Flower Co.'s store
room. Election of officers for the year
and a talk on palms by John Bader are
on the program.

Farmers Condemn Free Seed Dis-
tribution.— The New York State Grange
at its meeting in Pougbkeepsie last week
passed a resolution condemning the free
distribution of seeds by the Government.
The grangers say that the seeds seldom
grow, and they consider it a waste ol
public money to send them out.
Through the courtesy of Mr. Burnet
Landreth. secretary of tbe Wholesale
Seedsmen's League, we have received a
copy of the condensed report of the result
of two visits to Washington by seed
merchants in an effort to Sf cure the abo-
lition of free seed distribution by the
United States government. The injustice
done to the seed trade by this distribu-
tion and other points were Very forcibly
laid before those in authority but, the
report adds, "The committee does not
feel that It has accomplished anything

A new course of procedure has been sug-
gested with respect to 1903, details of
which will be further considered and re-
ported upon.
" Another view suggested to the com-
mittee is that of employing an able con-
stitutional lawyer, like Senator Ed-
munds, to argue the case before the
Supreme Court on the basis of unconsti-
tutionality."
The seedsmen who made this effort
fought a battle for the entire seed trade
of the United States. Their houses have
put themselves on record as outspoken
champions in a good cause, and though
defeated they retired In good order. The
visiting seedsmen were given much per-
sonal confidence and collectively given a
high standing before the Agricultural
Committee of the House, by the active
support rendered through letters and
telegrams to Congressmen from seedsmen
who could not individually join the seed
delegation.
The end of the whole thing is that the
24,000,000 of packets to be issued next
year will in five years, perhaps sooner,
be increased to 50,000,000^ and the flat
packet business of seedsmen will dwindle
to small proportions unless very radical
measures are adopted.
Old Store Seeds.— There is a distinct
tendency on thepartof the Northern seed
dealers and other venders, says the Flor-
ida Agriculturist, to work off on the re-
mote States of the South and West time-
worn and otherwise stale goods. Per-
haps this is not confined to these States;
the cross-road States, or even older com-
munities, are the recipient of much of this
doubtful patronage. Old and worthless
seeds — worthless from the loss of germi-
nating power — are almost as conspicuous
a part of the stock in trade as the cracker
box or the syrup barrel. We would not
single out these rural mercantile estab-
lishments for special denunciation; their
desire to enlarge their trade is natural
and laudable: but they should exercise
more care in investigating the quality
and age of seeds offered to them to sell
on commission, lest they may lend them-
selves to the perpetration of a serious
wrong upon their customers. And this
wrong will return upon them to their
own injury, for worthless seeds signify
defective crops and defective crops signify
reduced purchases of dry goods and
groceries.
A Southern seed dealer cannot with
any safety purchase seeds of some of the
wholesale dealers in the North; they will
furnish him inferior stock to destroy his
reputation and eliminate his competition.
The only absolutely safe plan for a
Southern seedsman is to have his stock
of seeds grown for him by contract, each
variety in that section of the North
where it is produced in its greatest per-
fection.
We do not believe the great majority
of country storekeepers intentionally
wrong the growers in the matter of seed.
It is an established system; these sealed
packets of seed put up in boxes are sent
out to thousands of merchants all over
the country. The people ask for them,
the people purchase them. Very few
merchants can be found who will not
keep what the people demand.
The growers themselves must break up
this business of dealing in superannuated
seed. Let them send by mail to reputa-
ble dealers who make it a special business
to handle fresh seed true to name. There
is no more danger iu sending money by
mail, with proper precautions, than in
handing it over the counter. There are
crooked seed dealers, but there areenough
honorable ones to supply the demand.
European Notes.
A fairly sharp spell of Winter prevails
throughout the western seed-growing
districts, but as other conditions are fa-
vorable, we do not anticipate that any
serious damage will be done except to
the weaklings (and they are many)
among our cabbage plantations.
The acreage which has survived thus
far is so limited that we are naturally
very anxious for its safety.
The early Spring exhibitions usually
Introduce to our notice anything new in
the way of primulas, but thus far nothing
of any importance has appeared. King
of the Blues is a good deep color, but the
blue nemophila tint is still lacking. A
large, loosely built double flower of a
pale pink tintisfull of promise, but hardly
fit to be offered at present.
A lovely salmon-tinted pink form of
Cyclamen persicum giganteum from the
Bush Hill collection is worthy of special
mention. It is robust, very floriferous
and of a perfect habit. It will form a
fitting companion to the C. persicum gi-
ganteum roseum, which is our most
popular and useful variety.
A double white form of Primula stellata
has been shown during the present week,
but it is hardly worthy of notice.

The Central Michigan Nureery Co. of

Montclair in May.
As usual, the city of Pittsburg, Pa.,
advenised for bids for furnishing the
nursery stock required for this Spring's
planting on its flne and extensive park
system. The bids were by sections, and
when they were opened on the 4th it
was found that Thomas Meehan & Sons,
of Germantown, Philadelphia, Pa., were
the most successful. The amount of the
orders placed through these bids aggre-
gated about $2,.50(), and the German-
town firm secured over half of this, which
was more than double what the next
most fortunate bidder obtained.

Geneva, N. Y.— The Times of February
8 prints a story that there is a split be.
tween the nurserymen and fruit growers
of the State which will likely prove na-
tional in its effects. The fruit men favor
the compulsory fumigation bill for the
extermination of the San Josfiscale, while
the nurserymen bitterly oppose the bill.
It has developed that the recent session
of the Western New York Horticultural
Society at Rociiester was a stormy one.
There the split began, and as a result
the men who favor the legislation have
called a meetingatSyracuseforFebruary
27, when a new society will be formed.
This means a bitter fight over the fumi-
gation bill on the part of the nurserymen
and the fruit growers of the State.
Evergreens. — Four of the eh iceet
evergreens for lawn specimens or for gen-
eral usein ornamental planting are Nord-
man's fir (Abies Nordmanla.na, from
western Europe, and the Crimea, Cepha-
lonian fir (A.cephalonica),from themoun-
tains of Greece, Eastern Spruce (PIcea
orientalis), from theCaucasus, Asia Minor
and northern Asia, and Colorado Blue
Spruce (Abies pungens), from the Rocky
Mountains. These are all very hardy in
Pennsylvania, very symmetricallu habit,
very beautiful and desirable where some-
thing choice is wanted. They furnish a
pleasing variety In shades of color, mak-
ing an effective group when planted to-
gether. They are seldom attacked by
disease or insects and have no objection-
able traits. While young the plantsgrow
rather slowly, but after they get to .5 or
6 feet high they grow fast enough, re-
taining thelrcompact, symmetrical form,
densely clothed with a heavy mass of
foliage from the ground to summit, until
they are 40 or 50 years old. It is sel-
dom that one of these species deeds any
trimming, unless by accident a leading
shoot or a terminal bud is injured. When
this happens to Nordman's fir, it requires
care and sometimes patience to get a
new leader started properly, while East-
ern Spruce is apt to start several leaders,
and these should be all removed but one,
or a double-topped tree will result. Good
plants of these varieties are always
scarce, and the country is not likely to
ever become overstocked with good
specimens of them. S. C. Moon.
Rhododendrons in Pots. — Rhodo-
dendrons in pots when in bloom are very
salable plants, especially at such holi-
day times as Easter. Not only are they
beautiful objects then, but they are still
of full value for planting out doors in
permanent positions, if of the hardier va-
rieties. There are some most exquisite
colors among those having a good deal
of the R. ponticum in their blood, but,
unfortunately, many of these are not
hardy enough for planting out in the
Northern States, while making grand
pot plants. Plants of about 18 inches
are of a good size lor potting. If bushy,
as they often are, such plants carr.v as
many as a dozen fiower buds each. It is
usual for florists to obtain their plants
before oraboutChristmas, pot them, and
set them in a cool greenhouse, such as is
often used for the storing of plants. The
plants become settled in their pots in a
month or two, ready for pushing along
later for Easter blooming or any other
occasion. About six weeks of heat will
be required to bring them into flower in
a temperature of, say, 65 degrees in the
daytime and 55 degrees at night. These
plants like moisture at such times, both
at root and top. Should the buds com-
mence to open and fullexpansion appear,
probably at a too early day, less heat
may be given, with no injury to the
plants. When the flowers open keep the
plants from the sun, which will result in
prolonging the display of flowers.
The following list of a dozen sorts is
quite hardy in this vicinity, and embraces
white, rose, crimson and lilac colors: Al-
bum elegans, B. W. Elliot, Blandyanum,
Everestianum, Puchees of Bedford, John
Walter. Minnie, Michael Waterer, Perspic-
uum, Pictum, Queen andRoseum elegans.
Whether the plants be kept in pots or are
planted outin April, the seed pods, which
form after flowering, should be removed,
otherwise they take from the plants nu-
trition for a useless purpose.
Rhns Typhina— Bearded Sumach.
— Among what may be termed large
shrubs the Rhus typhina occupies a
prominent position as a most useful sub-
ject in thehandsof a landscape gardener.
This is one of several shrubs which
quickly spreads, soon forming a good-
sized clump from a single plant. It Is
known to many as stag's horn sumach,
particularly in Europe, the shape of its
large compound leaves suggesting this
name. And it is because of its spreading
habit and beautiful foliage that it is in
such demand for planting. There are
man.y situations where such a shrub is
just the one required. I have in mind
more than one situation in Fairmount
Park, Philadelphia, where this subject is
wild, and other places where it has been
introduced. In most cases the positions
are semi-wild ones; and this sumach is
mostly on the borders of large woods or
here and there in groups by itself. The
large compound leaves, combined with
the numerous reddish hairs which thickly
clothe the stems, make a pleasing picture
all Summer long. But this is as nothing
beside the glow of the whole mass which
here greets us in Autumn, the gorgeous
scarlet color of the leaves which those of
this sumach assume in common with
most all others of the genus.
When let alone this species makes a
small tree. I have seen it 20 feet in tree
shape. While handsome in this shape,
its chief use is in grouping, that the effect
of its compound leaves and crimson Fall
color may be had. When grown in this
way an excellent plan is to cut plants
down almost to theground occasionally,
as numerous young shoots spring up at
once in the growing season, and as these
are clothed with leaves from the ground
to the top of the shoots, the displays
spoken of are much more pronounced.
Besides the merits already mentioned,
the large red seed pods in Autumn form
another attraction which must not be
overlooked. Joseph Meehan.

Trade Conditions.
All the stores have had a busy
week. Pennock Bros, had a large wed-
ding at Ardmore, and in spite of the
severe weather very few plants out of
several loads were damaged.
Cut flowers are more plentiful and
prices are easier. American Beauty have
dropped to $7.50 per dozen for the best.
Teas are now gelling at $10 and $12 per
100 for superior grades. Carnations go
very well at from $2 to $4 per 100. Vio-
lets are still plentiful with prices lower.
Wm. Crawford is back again in Phila-
delphia, having accepted a position with
J. J. Habermehi's Son. The store he had
in Washington did not prove a success.
Among Growers,
The establishment of Henry A.
Dreer, at Riverton, N. J., is just now in
splendid condition. Prospectsfor Spring
trade are very good, and there is a large
stock in all branches ready for the rush
when the weather opens.
The visits to Europe of J. D. Eisele
have been productive of good results, as
seen by the many new things around the
place. Among these we notice Actfea
japonica (.Japanese baneberry). This
plant produces 30-inch spikes of white
flowers in September, and lasts well into
October. It should be a good thing for
florists' use. The various types of the
Gioire de Lorraine begonia are grown in
quantity, and as Mr. Eislele says, they
are all good and will be in great demand.
Another very important novelty is Cam-
panula isophylla Mayii. This is styled a
plant for everybody, can be easily grown
as a pot subject in a halt shady situa-
tion. When staked properly hundreds
of flowers are open at one time. In color
they are a shade of lavender blue.
Several additions have been made to
the already large stock of pompon chrys-
anthemums, which are coming more into
favor. Cactus dahlias are also receiving
much attention, being used more by flo-
rists every year. Some of the new addi-
tions are Cinderella, bright purple; Count-
ess of Lonsdale, rich salmon; Kingfisher,
bright carmine; Mr. Moore, rich cherry;
Queen Wllhelmina, dark velvety crimson!
Sparkier, bright crimson. Twelve new
varieties are offered. These have been
personally selected from the best collec-
tions in Europe.
Two new deutzias were seen — D. gra-
cilis rosea and D. venusta. Both are
good, not only for the outdoor garden,
but also as pot plants for forcing.
In ferns, Adiantum Charlottte is a grand
acquisition, being entirely distinct, and
more graceful than A. gracilltmum, the
fronds being erect, whereas those in the
latter variety droop. Another good
plant for florists in Summer is Montbretla
germania. This variety has been under
the observation of representatives of this
flrm for the past four years; and being
sanguine of its value in this country, the
entire stock was purchased. The flowers
are large, of a rich, glowing scarlet, shad-
ing to orange, the throat being blood
red. The plant grows SMi feet high, is
sturdy inhabit, and well branched. Poly-
gonum baldschuanicum is a recent Intro-
duction, a hardy climber growing to a
height of 10 to 12 feet, every branchlet
terminating with a panicle of white
flowers, and blooming from July to Sep-
tember.
Some large additions have been made
to the list of primroses the best of which
is a new chance hybrid, having the
growth of a polyanthus, the color of
the flower and fragrance being identical
with those of the English primrose. In-
dividual IJowers measure over one-inch
across, the trusses being over six inches
in diameter. Thisis named Primula veris
superba, and being perfectly hardy, is
sure to take, as the plant forces well.
Yucca filamentosa bicolor is being
largely grown. This variety is varie-
gated, the leaves being longitudinally
striped with white. It creates a very
pretty effect.
Too much cannot be said of the recent
acquisition of this flrm, Pandanus San-
deri. This is certainly a grand plant,
and the more one sees it, the more It
grows in favor. The rich golden varie-
gation is very pleasing, and is well main-
tained on the lower leaves of a large
plant; whereas, in other plants, the
lower leaves usually turn green. Placed
side by side with a well-grown plant of
P. Veitchii, one sees only P. Sander! ; the
other is, as it were, completely oversha-
dowed. Whentheplantshavebeen grown
a few months in this country, the color
will no doubt be brighter yet, after get-
ting the advantage of the clear light and
sunshine of this climate. At present
there are only a few plants at Riverton.
The entire stock ■will be sent over when
the Winter weather is over.
This firm has recently published an
English catalogue of American novelties,
prices being in English money, and all
orders are sent prepaid to destination.
Already this catalogue has brought
many responses, and no doubt Is the be-
ignning of a large business that is likely
to develop from the experiment.

Trade Notes.
Business seems to have slackened
up a little this week. Trade In general is
not so bright as It should be at this time.
Stock is now fairly plentiful in all lines.
Roses are moving more slowly. American
Beauty are coming in a little faster, but
move pretty well, the prices holding about
the same. Bride and Bridesmaid are
plentiful.
Carnations are in pretty good supply
and do well, prices holding up very satis-
factorily on good stock. Bulbous stock
is now very abundant and values are
weakening. Lilies are now in fair sup-
ply, but do not move very fast. Callas,
however, meet with (]Ulte a good demand.
Violets continue on the Increase.
Paul Richwagon's house at Needhara
wasdestroyedby fire .Saturday last week.
Quitealittle interest Is being manifested
by carnation growers in the coming con-
vention of the American Carnation So-
ciety, at Baltimore. Mr. Nicholson has
obtained a reduced rate to Baltimore by
any line, with return to New York, of
$12.75; the tickets goodfor 12days from
the day of starting, Wednesday, February
20. It would be well for others intend-
ing to visit Baltimore at this time to
communicate with Mr. Nicholson.
A special meeting of the Gardeners' and
Florists' Club was held Tuesday evening,
President Ewell In the chair. Ten new
applicants for membership were pro-
posed.
Wm. Nicholson Is now cutting a few
Harvard carnations, a new one of a very
pleasing shade of crimson.
A. Roper had a bunch of a seedling
somewhat resembling Prosperity, the
flowers averaging 4-V2 inches In diameter,

A^aln this has proyen the moat prolific and profitable
variety we ever grpw, giving us so far fully 76 per cent,
more bloom than Ethel Crocker and eight other vari-
eties under the same conditions. On some 2n00 plants
not a single split calyx, where Crooker and some other
have split badly. Flowers as large as Scott, very fra-
grant; a flne shade of light rose-pink. After five years*
trial it has proved the best all-around variety we have ever grown. Have discarded Scott.

cultural Society has been issued. The fol-
lowing amounts have been appropriated
for prizes and gratuities: Plants, $2,000;
flowers, $2,500; native plants, $175;

dens, greenhouses, etc., $500 — a total of

President Harry C. Harris, of the Ei
Paso County Horticultural Society, Colo-
rado Springs, Coi., sends us a clipping
from a local paper containing the full re-
port of this society for the past year, in-
cluding financial statement, list of do-
nors, members, etc. Mr. Harris adds:
"It appears to me that the necessity of
making these statements, showing the
application of funds raised by contribu-
tion and to a purely public organization,
is not sufficiently appreciated by those in
charge. These satisfactory reports deepen
and strengthen the confidence in the
management, and this is the first requi-
site of success."

OBITUARY.
James Minton.
James Minton, perhaps one of the best
known of the old time florists of Boston,
died, February 10, at the Carney Hospi-
tal. Captain Minton was the pioneer
florist of Boston, first opening a store on
Warren Street, Roxbury. Later he went
into the employ of Hovey's Nurseries at
Cambridge. His next step was back to
the retail trade, with John Galvin,
whom he left after quite a long period
of service to join Bowditch & Logan. He
was superintendent of the Public Gar-
dens for some years, leaving there to
enter the employ of Norton Bros., where
he remained for about four years.
During the years Mr. Minton was in
the retail trade, he had the reputation of
being foremost for designing and deco-
rating, having that natural taste for
arrangement inborn. The funeral was
held at his son's residence, Tuesday
morning. F. J. N.
James Elmer Black.
James Elmer Black, Grove City, Pa.,
died February 5, aged 42 years. He was
a member of the Board of Trade. A
widow and three children survive him.
New Yorit Florists' Club.
The meeting on Monday night. Febru-
ary 11, was a most interesting one and
fairly well attended, President W. F.
Sheridan in the chair. The schedule of
premiums for the Madison Square Gar
den Show was read and considered, and
preliminary schedules ordered printed for
distribution. It is possible that the
Chrysanthemum Society of America will
assist this exhibition in some tangible
form, and the matter will be discussed
at a meeting of that society to be held
at Baltimore next week, at which meet-
ing Messrs. May, O'Mara and others will
be present on behalf of the club. It was
reported that the majority of the certifi-
cates and medals awarded in connection
with the horticultural exhibition in Au-
gust last, had now been distributed to
the recipients.
Quite a discussion ensued on the pro-
posed change of by-laws providing for
the appointment of a nominating com-
mittee of seven at the July meeting to
submit a list of candidates for the various
olfices at the meeting in November, to be
balloted on in December. The motion
carried with an overwhelming majority.
A legislative committee, consisting of
Messrs. May, O'Mara and Burns, was ap-
pointed to watch the interests of the flo-
rists in connection with the pending legis-
lation in Albany relative to the fumiga-
tion of nursery and other stock. It was
announced that this legislation would
very likely affect the florist.
The Exhibition Committee will meet in
the club rooms Monday evening, Febru-
ary 18, and the Ways and Means Com-
mittee on the night of February 25.
John H. Taylor related his experience
with the carnations disseminated in
1900, and was tendered a vote of thanks
for his interesting remarks.
Refreshments were served by the Essay
and Entertainment Committee.
The March meeting will be devoted to
the subject of roses, on which an essay
will be read There will also be an exhi-
bition.
The Beefateak Dinner.
Saturday evening, February 9,
1901, will be remembered as the date
on which was held the first annual
old-fashioned beefsteak dinner of the
New York Florists' Club, the feast be-
ing shared in by about sixty-five
members. That it was thoroughly en-
joyed was evidenced by the prevailing
good humor, and the dispersal of the
company was attended with as much
decorum as any nunc demitUs. Not
the least mirth-provoking feature o(
the entertainment were the pat quo-
tations (no pun) on the printed pro-
gramme. The first, from Euripides,
was as follows: "I had fourteen
boarders and a dog in the family, and
so help me God, on a Saturday night
the dog was the decentest one of the
lot." Moral: Get on to the dog;
don't let him get on to you. The
"Score of the feed," presented sherry,
steak, ale, beer, chops, soft stuff, hard
stuff, celery and cigars. The "dis-
turbance" was furnished by artists
from the Actors' National Protective
Union, S Union Square. Of these Tom
Flynn, Irish comedian, created a good
deal of merriment by his original song,
"The Flowers on Hogan's Grave," the
refraiffli of which may interest the
modern floral artist. Here It is:
"That's the kind of flowers that they
sent to poor old Hogan;
That's the kind of tokens of respect
to him they gave.
It looked more like a junkshop or a
dynamite explosion;
When they gazed upon the flowers
that were strewn on Hogan's
grave."
Secretary Young, in the garb of a
French garcon, ^never showed to better
advantage. It was a jolly night, and
Julius Lang and his fellow commit-
teemen were congratulated on the re-
sult of their endeavors. Wm. R.
Smith came all the way from Wash-
ington to participate in the fun.

HOME GROUNDS COMPETITION.
Editor Florists^ Exchange:
I was very much pleased with the
reproduction of the plan of the Home
Grounds of the P. and F. Nurseries in
the Florists' Exchange, Vol. XIII.,
No. 3.
Mr. Warren H. Manning's remarks
on the plan, submitted by me, are in-
structive, perfectly fair and even flat-
tering. Still, in justice to that gentle-
man's comments as well as to my
brother's work in laying out these
home grounds, I wish to make the fol-
lowing qualification to my paper,
which was written rather hurriedly,
to get it into the hands of the commit-
tee before the 31st of October.
There are no stones within the four
symmetrical beds flanking both sides
of the two road entrances to the
home grounds, as Mr. Manning has
evidently been led to believe from my
notes.
The straight sides of these beds are
formed by rubble-stone walls, about 18
inches high, as seen in view No. 3,
and they really are nothing more than
small retaining walls, serving to keep
these beds in shape and to character-
ize the entrance openings in the low
privet hedge. These beds are slightly
elevated above the surrounding ter-
race and slope toward the barberry
hedges.
The formal beds in the lawn are
really nothing more than specimen-
beds of dwarf evergreens and Japan
maples, the geometrical and well-
defined outline having been adopted to
show the effect of massed groupings of
these plants, as well as the effect of a
barberry hedge, both in the defensive
or protective and in the ornamental
sense, especially in the Fall, when the
bright and vivid coloring of the bar-
berry hedge contrasts so pleasantly
with the contents of the beds.
The latter do not form a part of
the general planting, but are "speci-
men-beds," placed where they are
most likely to be noticed, and serve
to advertise some of the general orna-
mental nursery stock to visitors to the
office as well as to passers-by.
All evergreens near the roads are of
dwarf habits and will not interfere
with a free and untrammeled use of
these roads as means of communica-
tion.
I should have given the individual
trees and shrubs a symbol, letter or
number on the plan, and could then
easily have supplied the names and
varieties, corresponding to each letter
or number in a separate list.

Foreign Exhibits for Pan-American.
Editor Florists' Exchange;
Inactingasthe receiving agents In New
York for the Pan-American Exposition
for the taking care of and forwarding
plants and articles of thisnature arriving
from foreign countries, we are asked to
furnish the names of likely foreign ship-
pers at points at which the Red "D"
Line steamships touch. This steamship
company, whose general managers are
Boulton, BHsB &, Dallert, 135 Front
Street, New York, have notified the Pan-
American Exposition that they will carry
live plants, trees, vines and all growing
things consigned to the Pan-American
over their lines free of charge.
We think if you were to make mention
of this in your paper foreign shippers
might take advantage of it, and all
goods arriving in New York could becon-
slgned to ourselves and we would give
them the proper care.
This could be taken advantage of as
well by shippers of economic plants of
this class suitable for the division of
foods and their accessories, for which
there is a separate department, and of
which, no doubt, there will be a separate
exhibition made tor plants suitable for
this purpose.

Pandanus Sanderi.
Editor Florists^ Exchange:
On page 921 of the American Florist a
correspondent, " L.," takes exception to
an expression made by me in my descrip-
tion of this beautiful plant given in The
Florists' Exchange. His criticism is
open to question and which I do not
propose to discuss, but asli him to see
the plant for himselt and then give the
craft the benefit of his opinion, which I
am sure will be read with interest.
Viator.
Editor Florists^ Exchange :
Your contemporary's correspondent
" L." Is nothiugif not natural, and there-
fore no one needs wonder at his taking
exception to that lovely pandanus, F.
Sanderi, being eulogized in the artificial
manner of which " L." so indignantly
complains. But it was unnatural of "L."
to cite the worst form of artiliciaiity as
his basis of comparison; rather should
he have taken its highest form, which
surely oftentimes begets amazement,
where the real thing would fall ignomin-
iously to do so.
His protest brought to mind the story
told by the Very Kev. Dean Hole in his
latest book, "Uur Uardens," and which
I quote. The eminent divine says:
" I remember an under gardener who
carved Bowers with his pocket knife out
of turnips, chiefly the ranunculus, the
camellia and the tulip, and colored them
with stripes and spots of the must gor-
geoushues; and I recalladay when, pass-
ing by the potting shed in which he was
exhibiting his splendid achievements to a
friend, I heard him say; 'They whacks
natur', don't they, Dobbs?' and Dobbs
replied, ' They whacks her ea-sy.' "
Probably your own correspondent had
in mind some such artlBciality where na-
tur' was " whacked," when he penned
these "Oh how lame" words; "Is this
real or artificial?" censured so forcibly
by the gentleman who stands solid for
the natural only. R. Tyfeeshal.
The Marquis Carnation.
Editor Florists'' Exchange:
Much has been written pertaining to
carnations this Winter, and of some of
the newer kinds with much indifference,
especially The Marquis.
The general complaint regarding this
variety seems to be that it comes in
bloom so late In the season. From my
own experience and from statements of
other growers hereabouts, it will be
grown more extensively next season. It
has from October to the present time
carried more flowers and buds than some
of the other kinds, such as G. H.Crane,
White Cloud, Mrs. Frances Joost, Ethel
Crocker, etc., and for clean growth,
strong stem and exceptionally fine
flowers it is hard to beat. So I would
advise not to discard it, as this variety
can be grown to flower as early and con-
tinuously as some of the other so-called
crackajacks. Having stock from which
to select one's own cuttings means not a
little for better success the second season.
It would considerably help the grow-
ers, especially the smaller ones, if the
originators would, with their new crea-
tions, put a printed slip of cultural direc-
tions with every batch of cuttings sent
out. For Instance, we have but recently
been informed that Mrs. Thomas W.
Lawsou thrives much better in a night
temperature of 55 degrees, but it has been
grown much lower and in consequence
has produced many bursted calyces.
t)t course, thecarnatlonist of many years'
standing could tell at once, "noting the
very strong constitution of Mrs. T. W.
Lawson," that it would stand a higher
temperature, but where one would be
observant of this fact nine would not,
so cultural directions are very essential,
and would bring more success to the
grower as well as many more happy days
to the disseminator.
It is well worth a journey to Syracuse
to see The Marquis in all its glory— show-
ers of buds and blossoms.
Utica, N. Y. Harry S. Mathews.
The Raleigh (N. C.) Chrysanthemum
Association was formed February 2, and
officers elected as follows; Prof. Geo. D.
Meares, president; .Mrs. L. B. Pegram,
vice-president; T. B. Eldridge, secretary
and treasure. The officers, together with
Prof. A. Rhodes and Miss Nixon were
constituted an executive committee.
This committee was entrusted with the
duty of drawing up rules for the govern-
ment of the asBociation and making reg-
ulations forthe holdingof annual shows,
preparation and publication of premium
Ustg, etc.
New York.
The Market.
Severe weather is still with us.
Happily so far there has been little or no
delay in the transportation of flowers,
though the rivers on each side of the city
have been blocked with ice floes on sev-
eral days, and traffic has been impeded
to some extent. The express companies,
however, have been able to get ship-
ments to the dealers with but little de-
lays, and excepting in one or two in-
stances no flowers were frozen in transit.
With the present quiet condition of
business in general, it is self-evident that
there is a little over-supply along nearly
all lines of stock. The market is com-
pletely in the buyers' favor, and straight
slips of Bride and Bridesmaid roses have
been purchased at as low a figure as $;]
per 100. American Beauty are at several
prices, and while 50c. has been obtained
tor the choicest grades at times, there
have also beenoccastons when the flowers
have had to be sold at S5e. and 40c.
Golden Gate is becoming a popular rose,
and when good always brings a good
price. This week they have realized 10c.
tor extras.
Carnations seem to go a little easier
than they did. The supply is not quite
so heavy, which fact is no doubt respon-
sible for their moving off better.
Roman hyacinths, narcissus, daffodils,
tulips and freesias are ttie greatest drug
in the market. Lilac seems to be wanted
only in very limited quantities. Lily of
the valley moves fairly well, with $3 per
100 as the top figure.
Owing to St. Valentine's Day there was
a little extra demand for violets on
Wednesday and Thursday. Too much
stock was on hand, however, to attempt
any material advance in price and if the
present cold spell lingers we must expect
violets to accumulate rapidly, as it is im-
possible for the street peddlers to handle
them when the weather is so cold. Sml-
lax is good stock just now; the supply
has shortened up considerably and an
advance in values has resulted. Callas
are plentiful and move spasmodically,
depending chiefly on the amount of fune-
rai work on hand.
The News.
The Eastern New York Horticul-
tural Society held its fifth annual meet-
ing in the Berkeley Lyceum building on
Wednesday and Thursday. A motion to
indorse tlie views of the Western New
York Horticultural Societ.v with respect
to legislation on the inspection of fruit
trees, etc., was lost, while one that called
for compulsory fumigation by every
nurseryman carried with a large ma-
jority.
At theflower, fruit and vegetable show
of the American Institute, Eilwanger &
Barry had a very extensive display of
apples and pears. Henry Siebreeht &
Sou staged a group of flowering plants
in nice condition. The same firm also
had a curiosity in the shape of the iufio-
resceuce and flower pod of the palm At-
talea Cohune. from their Trinidad nurs-
ery. They also showed some splendid
vases of roses. Lager iS- Hurrell, Summit,
N. J., were the only exhibitorsof orchids.
Their collection consisted of about 25
very fine specimens, all in flower.
H. Weber <fc Sou, Oakland, Md., had a
vase each of their new carnations Nor-
way and Egypt. C. W. Ward, Queens,
L. I., had bunches of Governor Roose
velt. Novelty and Golden Beauty carna-
tion. H. Spavin, Mount Kisco, showed
his new seedling red carnation Mrs.
James Wood.
T. Talbot, gardener to Levi P.Morton,
Rhinecliff, N. Y., displayed a vase of Bride
roses and Wm. Turner, gardener to Mr.
Wm. Rockefeller, a fine bunch of Brides-
maid roses. Violets were exhibited by (!.
T. .Schuneman, Baldwins, L. I. ; .1. C. Wil-
liams, Montclair, N. J.,and Duncan Hhind,
Cauandalgua, N. Y.
Jottings.
Lager & Hurrell, Summit, N. J., have
just received an importation from their
own collector of a new type of Cattleya
.Schrodera".
Wm. Plumb will sail from Liverpool on
the steamer Teutonic on the 20th inst.
Crowe cSc Co., Utica, N. Y., sent their
first shipment of Bridesmaid roses for the
season on Wednesday to Young &
Nugent.
The carnation meeting of the Florists'
Club was a great success. Now let us
have a rose meeting for March.
The carnation meeting of the New York
Gardeners' Siiciety, wlilcli was to have
been held last Saturday, has been
postponed for one month.
There will be a union meeting of the
Executive Committee of the American
Rose Society and the Ladles' Executive
In the Waldorf-Astoria on Tuesday next,
February 19, to conclude arrangements
for the forthcoming show, which takes
place March lit, 20 and 21. The final
list of special prizes has not yet been pub-
lished, hut should be ready in a few days.
Wm. Turner, who has tor the past seven
years acted as head gardener with so
much acceptance for Mr. Wm. Rockefeller,
of Tarrytown, N. Y., is now open for an
engagement in a commercial or private
place. Mr. Turner's ability has often
been demonstrated in the excellent stock
shown by him at our exhibitions.

Connecticut.
Stafford Springs.
The growing of carnations is a broad and disputable
question, but we name below the varieties we are rais-
ing and what we think of them.
For white we grow White Cloud and Flora Hill; up to
date we have found none better. White Cloud is the best
with us, and always brings fancy prices— that is, till late
In the Spring. It Is a money-malser througli the dark
months and is very productive. It is a mistalie to grow
it wet. What we mean by wet is over-watering it at
times. We find it does better on the dry side— that is,
never allowing the soil to get soaking wet. Flora Hill
gives a good Uower, extremely large, but its stem is too
weak through the Winter months, although at this date
(beginning of February) it has already started to stiffen
up with us. Other years it did not stiffen up until March.
After March it is the best white we can And and brings
fancy prices, giving excellent long, stiff stems. We are
growing this variety very dry this year, which probably
accounts for it stiffening up quicker than in previous
years.
For pink we grow Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson, Ethel
Crocker, The Marquis, Genevieve Lord, Liberty, Day-
break and William Scott. There are so many good pinks
that it is difflcult to name the best. We will, at any rate,
plant next season more Mrs. T. W. Lawson, Genevieve
Lord and Liberty. We find the first named a good
grower, and if cultivated a little dry the calyx will not
split so much. The stem is too short early in the season,
but after Christmas it is all right, and brings the highest
price. It is very prolific. Ethel Crocker we are not stuck
on; either we cannot grow it or it is a poor keeper. It
Is not very prolific with us; we get good flowers, but
few of them. It grows strong and is very clean. The
Marquis we have not given a fair trial, but from the
little we have seen of it, we will grow it another season.
Genevieve Lord is all right with us. We will grow it
extensively next year and cut down our quantity of Wil-
liam Scott and Daybreak. It is all that was claimed for
It. Liberty is a good carnation and brings fancy prices.
It is a wonder to us that it is not grown more exten-
sively. The variety is not an early bloomer, although
this year we brought it in for Christmas. But after
Christmas and during Spring it is good. We have had
no flower that could hold its own with Liberty for size
In late Spring and midsummer. We have it long after all
the others are too small to pick, and of good size. The
color is a dark pink, or rather a salmon pink, and the
flower sells for either a red or a pink. It is a good
strong grower and free bloomer after Christmas, but is
subject to stem rot more than any other variety we
have.
Daybreak is still a favorite with us, although it is hard
to keep it clean. To grow it successfully it must be care-
fully watched, as red spider and rust seem to love Day-
break. We planted a few plants of Daybreak and William
Scott together, to see whether Scott would rust from
Daybreak, and we found that the latter had to be cov-
ered with rust before Scott would show any signs of it.
We did this to convince ourselves that Daybreak was
susceptible to rust, and found such to be the case. But
withal we grow it successfully and clean, but it takes
continual picking to keep the rust down.
For red we grow G. H. Crane, Bon Ton and General
Maceo. We shall grow next season more G. H. Crane
and less Bon Ton. The former is a free bloomer, clean
grower, a large flower with long stems, bringing highest
price. Bon Ton also realizes good prices; we always
bring it in for Christmas, when red colors are most
needed. We will grow it anotherseason on that account
only.
General Maceo is all right; dark maroon flowers are
more in demand every year. It beats all I ever saw for
free bloomiug qualities, and gives a fair-sized flower.
The stem is a little short, but the color and quantity of
bloom makeup for that detect. It is a clean, easy grower
with us, requiring little care.
For variegated we grow Mrs. George M.Bradt, Mayor
Pingree and Old Glory. Next year we shall discard Old
Glory ; its flower is too small and It throws too much
grass. We shall continue to grow a few Mayor Pingree,
but it bursts too much to suit us and takes rust very
easily.
We also shall try most of the 1901 novelties.
I would like to give my opinion on heat for carnations
in a few words. We read different opinions on this sub-
ject every day. Some writers stick to the idea that 52
degrees is the proper temperature; others tell us that
some varieties do better at 48 and 50 degrees. Where
you want flowers keep the heat at 56 to .^8 degrees, or
rather 60 than below 56. I have tried all sorts of tem-
peratures, and have satisfied myself that 58 degrees is
the best average. Stafford Floral Co.,

"yj^n\'|findard varieties in white I find Flora Hill and
iaJVTi}j;e Cloud the most profitable with me, although the
cslast named does the best as a mone.v-maker, take it the
tSfeeason through. It is also the best keeper, but needs to

In pink, Mrs. Frances Joost is ahead of anything that
I grow, and is what I call the ideal pink commercial car-
nation, and I think will take the place that William Scott
has held so long. In red I grow Portia, which does
well with me. In dark pinks I grow New York and
am going to grow it right along. Subjoined 1 send you
a record for three months from 100 plants of New York.
I get the finest stems onthesecarnations— from 18 to 25
inches In length, flowers 21/2 to 3 inches, and they always
sell well at a good price: New York — November, 300;
December, 390; January, 350.

We continue to use Mephisto, our own seedling, for
scarlet. Saxon has proved an exceptionally free bloomer
and easy grower, and we shall increase our stock of this
variety. It is fringed, fragrant, of more than medium
size, very prolific, and of a deep fiery color.
In white, Luna, a seedling originated by Heacock,
proved most profitable. It is a large, clear white, very
proliQc, healthy and exceptionally fragrant.
Another year shall see us growing almost exclusively
our own seedlings, simply carrying the new varieties for
fertilizing purposes. American Kobe Co.

We will plant this year at least eight, and possibly
more, houses of Mrs. Leopold Ine, a red carnation Intro-
duced by Mr. Leopold Ine, of the Bohemian National
Cemetery. It is a sport from Tidal Wave and is very
similar to Evanston, except that it has a color
about the same as that of G. H. Crane. It is remarkably
free, and will do very nicely to take the place of G. H.
Crane when that variety to some extent stops bloom-
ing. There is no doubt but that it is the best money-
making carnation to befound. Wewillalso grow largely
Guardian Angel, a pink sport from Armazindy which
has been very favorably commented upon wherever seen.

The Mitting family comprises three new carnations
grown by the Morris Floral Co. for 1901. A. Mitting
is a seedling by Dorner; it Is a clear, light cream, having
a similar habit to Mary Wood, free blooming, with
flowers 3 to 31/2 inches in diameter. Mrs. A. Mitting is a
clear pink, the closest to a self pink we have ever seen.
It is a seedling from G. H.Crane, of similar habit to that
variety, and as free, giving a little better stems, but 3'/2"
inch blooms. De Roo Mitting is a clear fringed white, a
seedling from Mary Wood and G. H. Crane, the finest
habit, we think, in a white; 3-incb flower, a continuous
bloomer and extra fine keeper.

We still consider White Cloud and Flora Hill the two
best whites. If the best qualities of both could only be
combined, we should have an ideal sort. It seems to us
that at presentevery florist needs both kinds — Flora Hill
for early and especially for late and White Cloud tor
midseason. Flora Hill carries better than White Cloud,
for unless the latter is packed with unusual care, the
edges show the rubbing. Peru Is on trial this year, and
we consider it decidedly promising. In form it is much
like Flora Hill, Is large and long-stemmed. We shall in-
crease our quantity of it next year. Where a long stem
is not a necessity. Glacier is flne. Its purity of color is a
joy to the eye, and while it has not the exquisite form of
White Cloud (which is perfection), it is nearly as regular
in its own way and is a nice grower.
In our estimation, Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson will be
the leader in pinks for some time to come. It has not
done as well with us as with Mr. Fisher last year, but
we don't think it the fault of the variety, and we are
sure enough of its doing splendidly next year to plant
an increased quantity of it. It looks like an "athlete"
among carnations, and we can forgive a medium length
stem early in the season. Genevieve Lord is freedom it-
self; its color is dainty, and we predict popularity for it.
It Is not an exhibition bloom in size, but has enough
good points to give it high rank. The Marquis is a
ruffled and ' fluted court beauty. There is no prettier
" pink" in the whole family. It will pay every grower
to study its requirements until he can grow it success-
fully. The form of the flower is as perfect in a different
way as is White Cloud; the arrangement of the petal is
so full and flowing that it is very decorative, especially
in fiat arrangements, where the effect produced can be
got from no othercarnation. Its color is a shade of pink
universally admired; it is free, a good healthy grower.
Its faults? Well, it was late this year— just after Christ-
mas, but our plants were small when housed. Its size
now attests its quick, strong growth. Another fault is
a brittle stem when grown in a too cool temperature.
It will do to keep, however.
Few varieties have been so lauded and so plentifully
"cussed" in the same season as Ethel Crocker. The
shade of pink is very distinct— a true peach-blow. The
growth is rapid, grass fine and hard, stem good, lights
up brilliantly under gaslight, and yet in certain soils it
fails to bloom at all or to bring perfect flowers, while
with others it is profusion itself. When thefournew pink
varieties were offered last year, many a grower won-
dered what was the use; it would take a practiced eye
to tell them apart. But if each had been a different color
of the rainbow, they could not have been more dissimi-
lar; and if only we were able to make a "composite" of
the four, then what a fine variety we would have!
Another pink variety that is becoming popular is Morn-
ing Glory. We hear good reports of it on many sides.
With us, like Daybreak, it will not grow and "bloom.
Something in our soil fails to suit these two sorts. Mrs.
Frances .loost is deservedly popular, has every good
point, but lacks in size.
One of the prettiest pinks on our place is Avondale, the
sport from Armazindy. Where the latter does well
Avondale will be a great favorite, for it is a mass of
bloom throughout the season. The color Is the highest
shade of light (yellowish) pink, and in Indiana soil it is
a fine grower. It runs almost entirely to bloom.
G. H. Crane is the scarlet carnation of the present day
with the majority of growers. Its liability to stem rot
is its most serious defect. America is fine in all points
except color. Estelle has the color, certainly ; dazzles the
eye to look at it. Early in the season it throws a good
many single flowers, but later makes up in the profusion
of bloom. It is very scarce, as only a limited quantity
was sent out last year, and it has proved a pleasant sur-
prise to nearly every one who has grown it, hence it Is
in demand with small supplies in sight.

Of the older whites we consider Flora Hill and White
Cloud the best; they are the only standard whites we
are growing. The former is exceptionally early and
very free, as well as very large in size. It's two bad
points are: weakness of stem in midwinter and an in-
clination to burst at this time also. Taking it all
through, we consider it a profitable carnation. White
Cloud makes a smaller growth in the field than Flora
Hill, but after being housed it makes up for lost time.
As a midwinter bloomer it supplies what Flora Hill
lacks, as Winter is its best season. It is not a good
early bloomer, nor is it a good Summer bloomer. In
size it is quite equal to Flora Hill, and in form, color
and stem, superior. The two together make a very good
team, and will usually furnish an unbroken supply.
For the bulk of our pink carnations we rely upon Gene-
vieve Lord. This variety has behaved in a magnificent
manner with us, and as a money-getter it has outdone
every other pink we have ever grown. It combines earll-
nesB and free rapid growth with good color, large size and
productiveness. Its keeping qualities are one of Its best
features. Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson is proving a most
excellent variety, and to those who give liberal culture
and are In a position to ask a good price, it will be most
profltable. It is a little late in getting into good shape,
the first flowers being rather short-stemmed. Its con-
stitution seems to be especially strong and vigorous;
growth very healthy and quite free. Flowers all aver-
age large, and it has proved an excellent seller. Its
deep pink is not a competing color with such varieties
as Mrs. Frances Joost, The Marquis, Genevieve Lord
and Ethel Crocker. It has one other fault besides com-
ing a little late, and that Is a slight inclination to burst;
there will be no trouble from this source, however, if ex-
tremes are avoided in temperature and condition of the
soil. The Marquis has an exquisite color, large size and
beautiful form, and is fragrant. A tendency to come late
is one fault, and an inclination to produce its flowers in
crops is another; both of which may be eliminated to a
greater or less extent by careful growing and selection.
As a producer it bide fair to be quite satisfactory. Like
Daybreak, it has an attraction for red spider, which may
prove to be a drawback. Ethel Crocker, for some reason
or other, has done poorly with us, although we hear
very good reports of it from many prominent growers.
Coming off color and a tendency to stem rot are the bad
features most in evidence here. We could not judge this
variety fairly from our experience with it thus far.
We consider G. H. Crane as the best standard red. It
is never ucropper, has good color, nevercoming off, good
strong stems and large flowers. It is productive enough
to be classed easily a profitable variety. With us its
worst fault is a tendency to develop spot in the field
and a little shy in growth, although we believe this
latter condition is not common with other growers gen-
erally. America is not quite as deep in color as G. H.
Crane; under artificial light it is scarcely noticeable.
With us this season it has been giving larger flowers, of
better form than those of G. H. Crane, and quite as free;
it has also been more vigorous in growth. We consider
it a good, profltable variety. It is not quite as early as
G. H. Crane, but will average longer stems, and seems
to be quite free from spot. When well done there is no
scarlet which can compare with Hector. To get best
results, it should begiven plenty of room, cuttings started
by February 15, liberal culture afforded after established
and extremes in temperature and condition of soil
avoided. Taking it all the year through, we flnd it a
better producer than any other scarlet; while In color
and form it is unapproached. Esteile we consider a
most promising variety. It is early and free, flower not
only large, but of a rich, dazzling color. In habit and
growth it is most excellent. Stems are of medium length
and strong. We believe this variety will prove a money-
maker, and It is likely to dispute first honors with the
older reds.
Mrs. George M. Bradt continues the leading varie-
gated carnation. We consider it a great variety, a true,
ever-blooming sort as yetunequaled. J. Whitcomb Riley
is quite a disappointment. In color and marking It Is
beautiful, but its inclination to burst is a very unprom-
ising feature. As regards Olympia, from our experience
with this variety we feel that we are not in a position to
judge its merits properly, our stock not being in good
condition.
Buttercup Is still our standby in yellow, and is the
only variety we are growing In this color. We grow it
indoors entirely In a heavy loam well enriched. In color
it is unapproached by any other yellow, and as a pro-
ducer will hold its own with any other yellow, being far
ahead of most of them.
Among new varieties Norway, a white, is far superior
to any we have ever grown. Its distinct points of merit
are its free, rapid growth, excellent habit, free, ever-
blooming nature, the uniform large size of its flowers,
and exquisite odor. The stems are of good length and
strong throughout the season, meaeuiing up to modern
requirements. It is an early bloomer as well as a good

good culture blooms will average three inches and over.
It will also be grateful for a little more heat than the

Our experience is somewhat limited as to numbers of
standard varieties, as we grow but few sorts commer-
cially, though we give most of the new kinds introduced
each year a trial. In quantities, we grow but two white
ones. Flora Hill and White Cloud, which, up to the pres-
ent time, seem best adapted to our soil and climate, and
are much more profitable to us than an.v other whites
we have trieJ. With us Flora Hill does best .In a night
temperature of 56 degrees, with plenty of air, and 68 to
72 degrees on clear days. With .the above treatment
Flora Hill gives us 95 per cent, of good flowers with
good strong stems from early Pall till late in Spring.
White Cloud does well in several degrees less heat both
day and night; does not bloom quite as early in the
Fall as Flora Hill, but gives lots of flowers on good,
long stems from November to early Spring. The flowers
are not quite so large as those of Flora Hill, and the
plants soon succumb to the hot sun in Spring; but it is
a grand white and a paving one with us.
For pink we grow William Scott, Triumph and Mrs.
James Deau. William Scott is a paving carnation, and
we shall not discard this variety until we flud one of its
color that is its superior. Triumph glvesagrand flower,
but is a rather straggly grower with us. Airs. James
Dean is a very fine light pink variety, but comes into
flowering too late^to make it profitable.
We are trying a few pinks of last year's introduction;
so far we are well pleased with Ethel Crocker and The
Marquis.
In yellows we grow Gold Nugget and Mayor Pingree
The former we consider the best yellow. In variegated
kinds Mrs. George M. Bradt and Olympia are the best
two with us.
In scarlet G. H. Crane is one of the very best of its
color. The only dark red we grow is a seedling of ours.
No. 17. It is very promising, is more prolific and has a
much stronger constitution than William Scott. The
flower has a very long, strong, wiry stem, with a none
bursting calyx. The plants start quickly after trans-
planting; begin to bloom in September and contlnu-
throughout the season.
We expect to exhibit our seedling No. 17 at the Balti-
more carnation show. Chas. Akehurst & Son.

As ours Is strictly a local businpss and we grow but
about 2,000 plants ot caruatious, our operations are
hardly on a large enough scale to be of much Interest ex-
cept to retail growers like ourselves.
In pink our Hrst choice Is Mrs. Frances Joost, both for
proflc and satisfaction of our self respect. Mrs. Thomas
W. Lawson does well and we shall grow more of it next
year. William Scottand Daybreak will be dropped from
our list, substituting Morning Glory for the latter.
For red we find there is nothing equal to G. H. Crane.
Chicago is a " dead one" witn us after this season. No
stem rot on G. H. Crane as yet.
In dark red we grow General Gomez and Sebec. The
latter is extra free and the most fragrant variety we
have, but with a very long and weak stem. For yellow
we have Gold .Vuggetand a yellow sport of Mrs. Frances
Joo3t, ot which we only have a few plants.
We have no really satisfactory white variety. We
grow Flora Hill, White Cloud and Freedom. They all
have serious " outs." There is need of a white that will
be equal to G. II. Crane in stem and freedom of bloom,
and of good size.
For fancies we have Mrs. George M. Bradt, Mrs.
Thomas W. Lawson, and one or two of our seedlings.

Having only invested lightly In some of the carnation
novelties of 1900,1am not in a position to express a
decided opinion regarding their merits or defects. Be-
sides, it is not wise or just for any one to score a variety
as worthless simply because he has not succeeded in
growing it satisfactorily. The cause of failure may be
due to soil, general treatment, or defective stock. By
defective I mean cuttings taken from the base of the
plant, which are, I am sorry to say, too often sent out
by the originator, because the demand has exceeded the
supply of flowering stem cuttings. It would pay better
to stop distribution the first season of introduction
when all proper stock was sold. There would be less
disappointment to the trade in general; a much better
report as to commercial value and a heavierdemand the
second season would result, which would more than off-
set the loss from lack of stock the first season.
In pink The Marquis made a very irregular growth in
the field, developed bacteria badly, and was subject to
attacks from red spider vfhile outdoors. Many of the
plants are still far from satisfactory. Some two to
three dozen out of 5(»0 have done well: the balance are
very irregular, due, in my opinion, to stock being taken
from the base of ttie plants. With another year's test it
will, I feel sure, be more satisfactory from flowering
stem cuttings.
Ethel Crocker produced some excellent blooms iu the
Fall. It has now "stooled," with little prospect of
another crop for some time. The variety has also devel-
oped stem rot. In the variegated class Olympia made
fair growth in the fleld,and the Urst crop of flowers was
of good quality. With us its worst fault is lack of stem
to support the flower. It has also developed considera-
ble canker. Mrs. George M. Bradt is still the most profit-
able in its class (of varieties in commerce). It has done
extra well, and is now full ot buds and blooms right
along.
For scarlet G. H. Crane is the only variety grown here
this season. It has kept up a continual supply of high-
grade blooms ot uniform excellent quality. Its Inclina-
tion to stem rot is its worst defect; otherwise It is
superb.
In crimson General Maceo has tried (ineffectually ) to
exhaust Itself by blooming since early Fall. Though a
little dark in color it sells readily, and is a wonder for
productiveness.
Among the new varieties originated here and not yet
exhibited are Governor Wolcott, a pure white; flowers of
fine form, with a uniform average of 3 inches and over in
diameter, boroe on long, wiry stems 2 to 3 feet in length.
The plant Is extremely free, healthy, and ot excellent
habit. It Is much admired by all who see it. A splendid
propagator. The blooms also ship and keep well. It
Is easily our best white to date. Governor Wolcott may
be disseminated in the Spring of 1902.
Eastern Star Is a pure white, flowers deeply fringed,
of perfect form, with high, full center, but does not burst.
Average size of bloom 2'/2 to 3 Inches, borne on stiff,
wiry stems. It resembles Lizzie McGowan in growth, is
of splendid habit and very productive. A splendid keeper
and shipper. Only a limited stock is offered this season
and Is engaged before the stock Is ready, a prett.v good
Indorsement from growers who have been watching It
for the past four seasons.
Nos. 130 and 190 are variegated varieties of excep-
tional promise, ground color being pure white, with
pencllings of Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson shade of pink.
No. 270 might be termed a "pup "of Prosperity, being
similarly marked; blooms 3 to 31/2 inches in diameter.
The plant is an early and continuous bloomer. In color
the ttoweris of purest white until the dull daysot Winter,
when it is deeply shaded with pink, becoming pure white
again in Spring. It promises to be a grand .Summer
bloomer.
No. 194 is a deep carmine of exquisite form, with high
rounding center, grand stem and calyx. It blooms all
the time, being another good Summer or Winter sort,
producing long stems in the Beld.
;; No. 170 is a pure Daybreak shade of color, deepening
toward the center. In form it resembles a rose. It is
a very early, free, and continuous bloomer, producing
flowers of grand form and substance, 314 Inches and
often close to 4 inches In diameter, with splendid calyx,
on strong stems 2 feet and over In length. The plant is
of upright growth, like Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson (one of
its parents), but producing longer stems and larger
blooms.
Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson, If the celerity with which
local growers are engaging and taking stock along with
them when they call is any indication, still holds its
own. Of course, you may say I " have an axe to grind,"
so better call and judge for yourself.

I am growing in all about 30 varieties of carnations
this Winter. For white Flora Hill has given perfect
Batisfaction, except for Its habit of bursting Its calyx in
midwinter.
The plants have been entirely free from stem rot and
bacteria. The stock of this variety was propagated
from the most healthy and vigorous plants, and grown
on ground that never had carnations on it before, and
also in a new house on new soil. Nivea has proved too
poor to grow. I shall drop it.
For pink .VIrs. Frances Joost has given the most
blooms per square foot of space of any color. The
plants have shown a forest of buds and blossoms since
October. I think so highly of it that I shall house next
Fall four times as many, dropping Victor and several
other pink shades. Side by side with The Marquis, it has
produced four blooms to one of the latter, and of same
size. The Marquis is a fine variety; plants are healthy,
butnot as free as Mrs. Frances Joost. Ethel Crocker has
not given satisfaction at all. The plants were received
in the Spring from one of the most reliable firms In the
country, yet of first shipment in May, 95 per cent, of
them died ot stem rot and 90 per cent, of the second
shipment died from same cause, the only variety show-
ing stem rot out of all the kinds grown. Genevieve Lord
has done finely, the stem, growth, etc., being first-class.
Emeline, Progress, Daybreak and Melba have all done
well. Progress is about three shades deeper than Mrs.
Frances Joost. nearly as free, but does not produce quite
so large a blossom. The color makes it a quick seller.
Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson has given perfect satisfaction.
There is only one fault that I can find with it, the short
stems during Fall and the first half of Winter, though
the stems are now coming 18 to 20 inches In length and
as rigid as wire. Victor has not done as well as usual.
I shall drop it as well as Triumph.
In variegated kinds Olympia has surpassed everything
in size, even Mrs. George M. Bradt. In Boston they
tell me that Olympia will bring the same price as the
latter, and as It Is more free in bloom, produces plenty
of cuttings (which strike as easy as those of Mrs.
Frances Joost), also gives a longer stem than Mrs.
George M. Bradt, I am inclined to think it will take
the place of that variety. Mrs. Bradt had a cranky spell
in the Fall, when no amount of persuasion, even to read-
ing the riot act, could induce it to produce long-stem
flowers.
In yellow Gold Nugget and Eldorado have given
good results. Plants of Gold Nugget were extra fine this
year. ":!i^.
For reds, Bon Ton, G. H. 'Crane and Jahn's Scarlet
have done as well as usual, but G. H. Crane is so far
ahead in quality ot any red that I shall grow It in place
of the others.
For crimsons I have Empress, General"Maceo, Anna
Webb, and General Gomez. Empress gives good satisfac-
tion it the cuttings are all struck before February 1.
General Maceo and Gomez have done much better than
last year; they turn out flowers of better quality than
does Anna Webb, so that 1 shall drop the last named.
Forseedlings I have a numberintheirsecond and third
year, but It will need another year to tell whether they
are worth growing in quantity or not.
I aim to run the houses of carnations at a temperatui'e
of 50 degrees at night, fi." degrees In daytime if pleasant,
60 degrees if cloudy. The soil is a heavy yellowish loam,
which if seeded to grass would produce a crop too heavy
to cure on same land. Albert H. Brown.

We make a specialty of growing carnations for cut
flowers, wholesale and retail, and for rooted cuttings for
the trade, and therefore test the new varieties as fust as
they are sent out.
Our soil is rather light, slightly mixed with clay, and
most of the varieties are grown at a night temperature
of 50 degrees.
Among the kinds sent out last year we found some
which we Hke very much, and of the 30 or more varieties
introduced this year, we hope there will be some "cake
winners."
White Cloud, Flora Hill and Glacier are a splendid trio
of white varieties. each having a placeof Its own. White
Cloud gives us the largest flowers, the longest stem and
is the best midwinter bloomer. Flora Hill Is earlier and
a good commercial variety. The lowers are large, but
during the dark days of Winter are inclined to burst.
Glacier also is early, its flower of flne from and never
bursts its calyx. Elm City and Peru are on their first
year's trial and have good points.
In pink Daybreak still leads for the lightest shade.
Morning Glory is a shade darker, and is a grand acquisi-
tion to the light pinks. Genevieve Lord, an entirely dif-
erent shade of i)ink from either Daybreak or Morning
Glory, is a little deeper in color, of good size, and very
productive. Genevieve Lord fades badly on the edges of
the petals. The Martiuis we esteem highly and grf)w It
extensively. Its color Is a rich, clear pink, flower ex-
tremely large and of good form. We believe it will take
a foremost place. .Mrs. Bertram Lipplncott, a trifie
lighter than The Mar(iuis, of good size and very strong
stem, is another promising variety of last year's Intro-
duction.
We feel well repaid for our cultivation ot Melba. Its
flf)wer is not so large as that (tf some varieties, and the
stock has to be carefully made to avoid bacteria, to which
tills variety is subject. Madame Cha|iman seems to be
an improved Victor, also a sport from Daybreak, with
all of that variety's good qualities, differing only in color,
which is a clear, bright pink. Mrs. Frances Joost Is well
named the " pink money-maker." The flower is of a fine
clear pink color, the plant very productive and of ideal
habit. William Scott is still a profitable variety to grow
when proper precautions are taken in selecting stock.
Ethel Crocker is not altogether satisfactory with us,
still we shall give It further trial. Mrs. Thomas W. Law-
son, ".the celebrated," we think will prove valuable In
the deep pink shades. It has size, stem and robust habit
in its favor, but is somewhat inclined to burst its calyx.
In red carnations we find Estelle the cream of last
year's introductions. It has a rich, glowing, deep shade,
is large and of perfect form. Its stem is not quite so long
as that of G. H. Crane, but the plant Is extremely pro-
ductive and an early and continuous bloomer. The only
fault that we can possibly find with it is its suscepti-
bility to rust. G. H. Crane is also a grand scarlet varie-
ty, with longer stem, but not so brilliant in color as
Estelle. America is a fine companion tor the other two
scarlets; is lighter in color; flowervery large, plant being
early and free. An occasional flower comes oft color,
but on the whole we like America. Chicago, the red
sport from Mrs. George M. Bradt, Is perhaps the largest
red carnation in cultivation. Wefind a great drawback,
however, in Its habit of bursting Its calyx. These four
varietes we grow for our scarlets; they are all different
and all desirable.
General Maceo and General Gomez are a fine pair of
crimson carnations. We like them both, and do not feel
as if we could do without either one. General Maceo is
the darkest red we have iu cultivation, and makes a
beautiful combination with Daybreak. It is of good size,
has a fine form and a peculiarly rich, glowing, crimson
color. General Gomez, an Intense crimson, Is a little
lighter than General Maceo and resembles William Scott
in habit.
Mrs George M. Bradtis our best variegated carnation,
Armazindy and .lames Whitcomb Riley falling behind it
in size, but excelling it in productiveness and length of
stem. They are also not so heavily marked as Mrs.
Bradt. Olympia is a very large variegated variety, but
has not proven altogether satisfactory with us.
Gold Nugget is the only yellow we are growing now,
having discarded all others for it. We trust the new
yellows this year will give us something better stiU.

White Cloud is still the .best white. It has a fine large
flower, stiff stem, and produces heavily when in crop.
As about 30 per cent, of the flowers come with the calyx
bursted, it leaves lota of room for Improvement. It can
be had in full crop at the holidays, which is a desirable
quality. Flora Hill Is earlier and ranks next. Although
the flower is not as well shaped as that ot the former
variety and it has a weak neck in Winter, yet its size and
freedom ot bloom render it desirable as an all-the-year-
round white. John Young is too small and too slow.
We shall discard it. Mary Wood gives a very large, stiff-
stemmed bloom, but it Is too shy to make it profitable
except one has a fancy trade. Freedom is no good and
will be discarded. Evelina this Winter comes too badly
bursted and crinkled to be longer tolerated, even if it Is
tree. Glacier is the best of whites aaldefrom White Cloud
and Flora Hill. It produces a fine flower, is free, but it
takes too long a time to make a satisfactory stem. For
aretailer it Is just the thing. Its calyx doesnot burstand
every flower comes perfect. However, the white we like
the best ot any, and the one ot which we shall plant all
the stock we can get from the plants we have, is White
Daybreak. With us it does finely, is tree blooming, does
not burst as badly as Daybreak, and seems to have a
better constitution than its parent. Like the latter, it is
subject to a little rust, but rust is so trifling on any va-
riety these days that practically no attention is paid to
it. Peru is troubled with stem rot; It produces a good
flower, but is entirely too shy and cannot compare with
White Daybreak.
Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson Is the finest bright pink, an
extra large flower, strong, stiff stems, desirable in every
way, but it is not free enough to be profitable except at
a fancy price. The Marquis gives a magnificent flower,
with a large, strong stem, makes no grass, is a free
bloomer, but the calyx is slightly inclined to burst. This
variety is a little shy in flowering around the holidays,
otherwise it is a long way ahead of existing pinks. Gene-
vieve Lord Is the freest, most continuous blooming light
pink of all, consequently the most profitable to grow.
The flowers are large, well formed, of pleasing color, and
good for any purpose.
Morning Glory is fine, and were it a larger flower
might displace the old standby Daybreak. The plant is
very tree and should be largely grown. Ethel ("rocker ia
a fine pink, a large flower, with long, stiff stem, but needs
to be grown In a warm house for the best results, and
planted early, or it is not much good. We planted one
batch the tore part of August, and the plants have done
well. Those we planted in October have not yet pro-
duced a single perfect flower. All carnations originated
in so warm a climate as California will net similarly, and
should invariably be given a warmer temperature than
varieties originated in a milderclimnte. Daybreak is the
same as it ever was, ever in demand, and we must still
grow what is naked tor by the public. William Scott is
growingsmailerand less satisfactory each year: weshall
drop it. Governor Griggs. Melba, Mrs. James Dean and
New York are now so completely outclassed that we
shall discard them all. Madame Chapman, the Grand
Itaplds sport of Daybreak and similar to Victor, Is
largely planted in this vicinity, and Is giving such good
satisfaction that It Is to-day the main pink grown. It
is as free as Daybreak, the calyx doesnot burst as badly,
and the plant seems to be a stronger grower. Mrs.
Frances Joost Is no good this season and will be dropped.
.lubilee has not done well with us this year, too many
flowers coming single, and those that are double come
wrinkled. We have seen no good Jubilee In this section

bloomer, but not as tree as could be desired. Every
flower comes perfect, and by long odds it is tlie best
Bcarlet to date. We shall plaut nearly all G. U. Crane
lor next year's red. Estelle is tbe best red in color, with
good, strong stem, but in the fore part of the season its
calyx bursts badly. It it bad been as good and free at
(Jhristmas as it Is now it would be better than G. H.
Crane. We shall give it a more extended trial next sea-
son. America, light red, Is a good bloomer, a clean
grower, but is a little too slow in the rail. Evanston is
a cerise red, but too shy a bloomer; it will be dropped,
as will Red Jacket. Firefly will be discarded also, yet for
a retailer where a small flower will go for red. Its free-
dom of bloom makes it a very desirable variety.
Mayor Plugree in yellow is altogether too shy; it is a
fancy flower, and all right could a fancy price be obtained
for it. Gold Nugget has a better color, strong stems,
and is freer than Mayor Pingree, and the best to grow.
Eldorado grown in poor soil is a freer bloomer than
either of the two former, but the flower is not so large.
General Maceo gives a nice, deep, blood-red flower, a
color that sells on sight; it is as free as any variety we
grow — a decided acquisition. The flower of General
Gomez is lighter in color and longer in the stem than
that of General Maceo, is not asdesirable, being a smaller
bloom; otherwise it is good.
Mrs. George M. Bradt is still the largest, best varie-
gated carnation to-day, superior in every respect to
Olympia. Saginaw and Psyche are outclassed and will
be dropped.
In seedlings we have several fine pinks, but only one,
Irene, tested long enough to note its fixed characteristics.
This is a cross between Daybreak and Albertini, possess-
ing the rich clove fragrance of the latter and the free-
blooming qualities of the former. It is an Albertini
flower, of good substance, with strong, stiff stems, aclose,
compact grower, making no grass. It blooms continu-
ously from October to July, is an unexcelled keeper, and
does not burst the calyx. Irene is the most proHtable
variety we have on the place. It was at its best at the
holidays. We shall plant more of it next year; in fact,
it will be the only dark pink planted. We have several
each of Hrst-class red, pink, white and crimson seedlings,
but it will be next Winter before we can determine their
commercial value. „ G. F. Cbabb.

In white carnations we are growing Glacier, Flora
Hill, and White Cloud. We are. very much surprised not
to hear more of Glacier; it certainly is a good flower.
The stem, though short, is stiff, and gives good support
to the very last bloom. We consider it one of the very
best white carnations for the retail florist. Flora Hill is
the standard white; it does the best with us so tar, but
to have it right it should be gi-own in a house by itself.
and about 5 to 10 degrees warmer at night, say from 55
to 60 degrees. White Cloud is a grand variety, but it is
too much ol a cropper. Still it pays to grow it. This
variety is one of the best keepers we have, and delights
in a ver.v heavy clay soil. In pink we grow Mrs. Frances
Joost, Daybreak, Mme. Chapman, and last, but not
least, William Scott. We are trying Mrs. Frances Joost
and are very favorably impressed with it. We believe we
shall make it one of our standard sorts. Mme. Chapman
is still the leading pink in our establishment, as well as
many others in this vicinity. We are growing three seed-
ling pinlss. While we think they are well worth growing,
we do not claim anything extraordinary for them. This
is their third year. One is of the Daybreak color, finely
fringed, about 18-inch stem, and a good-sized flower.
Another is a dark pink on thest.vle of Tidal Wave or
Cerise Queen, flower 2'/2 to 31/2 inches in diameter; a
most prolific bloomer.
In reds Jubilee is the leading variety with us; it surely
is a money-maker. We are trying America; it is fine,
and we shall grow it extensively hereafter. The old reli-
able Emily Pierson, though a back number, is grand in
our soil; we could not do without this sort.
By referring to our varieties you will see that we do
not grow very many of the new sorts. I would like to
ask where are all of these new varieties which were ad-
vertised so extensively last year? All that are left you
can count on one hand. We are very much afraid
that the good qualities of most varieties are over-esti-
mated by the respective raisers. We are still looking for
the ideal white, red, striped and yellow, so there is plent.v
of room for the carnation seedling raiser to work in;
the ideal in pink has been reached, we believe. There are
quite a few varieties which may be said to be just what
ever.v one desires; for instance, Ethel Crot'ker is the peer
of ail. Then come Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson and (Jene-
vieve Lord. Of course, the difference in soil and locality
will affect these, but considering everything we seem to
have all that is desired in a pink carnation, unless it
might be in the Daybreak color. Quite a number of this
color h«ve been sent out; but Daybreak itself still leads
them all with many growers.
We shall build the coming Summer three houses, 150
feet long, one for red carnations and two for violets.

So far over 5 per cent, of our flowers (per plant I
mean) have come from our seedling Russell. We are
growing other kinds in a small way only, say 100 to 200
plants each of such varieties as Etiiel Crocker, White
cloud, America, General Gomez and G. H. Crane. These
plants did not get as strong as they should in the field,
although under the same conditions as three or four of
our seedlings, so that they have not given much bloom
as yet, while our seedlings, with very strong plants, have
been giving us a good cut for some time. Especially is
this tlie case with Russell. Our sport from Lizzie Mc-
Gowati has given us a fair cut, although the plants were
email when put in about September 20.
We are not professional growersand do not come up in
culture to many who give their whole attention to this
matter, but we grow fair stock. I am fully aware that
soil and treatment have much to do with the success or
failure of new productions. What we want for our own
growing is a good, strong, healthy plant that will with
ordinary treatment give us early and late an abundant
crop of good blooms. This, I think, is the condition of
many others in the trade. We have grown William .Scott
with good success for several years, but we have had
better success with Russell.

In white Lizzie McGowan is our most profitable varie-
ty. Flora Hill is topheavy, and with us full of all the
ills carnations are heir to, while White Cloud seems to be
adapted to some other locality. In pink so far William
Scott has paid us best, but Mrs. Frances Joost has
rivaled it. Melba is flue and does well with us. The
Marquis is O. K. and the picture of health, but evidently
is a February bloomer. The blooms are running from 3
to 3 V2 inches in diameter. Mrs. T. W. Lawson is another
February special, and looks as though it will be a suc-
cess in this locality. We have had blooms 3% inches in
diameter. We will discard C. A. Dana after this year.
For red Bon Ton is our best variety. America is good,
but Meteor is good lor nothing. General Maceo is fine.
Leslie Paul and Dr. Lewis will be discarded on account
of being shy bloomers.
In variegated varieties Elsie Ferguson doesn't bloom
and Psyche with us is worthless.

In whites Glacier is too short in stem and rather late
in coming into bloom. Good for the local florists with
a home trade. White Cloud is doing well with us,
though a little later than usual this season in getting
into full flowering; still it is a good all-around variety.
Peru has produced some fine flowers and appears a
steady bloomer, with good stem. The stock is too lim-
ited to compare it with others as to paying quality.
Seedling No. 2,972, in its third year, is much the best-
paying white we grow, being a much larger flower than
anv other we have ever grown and exceedingly free.
For scarletG. H.Crane is still a good variety, and since
Christmas has been producing an excellent lot of fine
flowers. Its only drawback Is its lateness in coming
Into full bloom. Estelle with us has up to date returned
us about 15 per cent, more money per foot occupied. Its
advantages over the other are that it comes early into
flower, produces a good steady supply of blooms, some-
what larger and of better color, with good strong stems
of fair average length.
Among pinks Ethel Crocker has produced a good
steady crop from November 1 onward, with but very
few damaged flowers. Up to date it has paid us as well
as any pink we grow. The Marquis was very late,
but has been in full flower since Christmas, and is pro-
duciug good-sized blooms of excellent form and color.
It has considerable to make up yet before it will pay as
well as either Ethel Crocker or Genevieve Lord. This lat-
ter has a very nice color in any form; is a good, steady
producer, with good stem and vigorous constitution.
One of the best-paying varieties.
Melba is the most pleasing shade of pink of any we
grow, a steady producer, flowers of medium size with
good stem and" healthy constitution.
The first flowers of Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson were very
short-stemmed, but of fair size: now the stems are of
good average length and stiff; flowers large, but a little
coarse for some tastes; it has paid so far about equal
to the best of the above, but not equal to some of our
seedlings.
Seedling -1,112 is very similar in color to the Mrs.
Lawson, sells equally well, and up to date has produced
more than double tne number of blooms per foot. It be-
gan flowering six weeks before Mrs. T. W. Lawson.
Seedling 2,209 is a verj- large flower, similar in color
to William Scott. It has been very profitable and sells
well in the market.
In variegated Lily Dean, white ground with delicate
pink markings, is an exceedingly free producer and a
money-maker for us, and always has been. Olympia is
still extra flue with us and up to date has paid us fully
equal to the best variety we grow. Many who purchased
this variety last season are very much pleased with it;
others complain that it has not done well for them. To
all I say come and see it for yourselves, either going or
returning from Baltimore. John N. May.

For pink I grow William Scott, Mrs.JFrances Joost
and Ethel Crocker. William Scott will have to take a
back seat for Ethel Crocker, also Mrs. Frances Joost.
Ethel Crocker produces more flowers than Mrs. Frances
Joost and the price obtained is also better. I shall
plant Ethel Crocker extensively. In light pink Daybreak
is still the best with me.
In reds Lady Emma pays me best, all things consid-
ered. Red Jacket leaves nothing to be desired; has fine,
healthy growth, long stems and solid flowers.
For white Flora Hill is improving every year, and
Lizzie McGowan is not halt as profitable with me. I
shall have to let the latter go now.
Here I will say a tew words about tr.ving new varie-
ties. Three years ago I had about 50 plants of Flora
Hill. Though 1 liked the flowers well enough, there were
not enough of them. Last year I set out 100 plants
with some improvement. This year I have 300 of this
variety, and I wish the number was 3,000.
For cerise I grow Von Leeuwen and Maude Adams.
While the former is a good producer, something larger is
needed. Maude Adams is a good variety; there is no
trouble to get a satisfactory flower with long stem, pro-
viding the plant is afforded a warm place and ample
moisture. In the variegated class Mrs. George M. Bradt
is satisfactory with me.
I also have on trial Peru and Roslyn. The latter
should be better known. While not giving as large a
flower as does Ethel Crocker, it is a great producer, with
the habit of Lizzie McGowan, the color being a pleasing
shade uf pink. Why this carnation never was sent out
I cannot understand. Many a variety has been dissem-
inated with high pedigree that cannot hold a candle to
Roslyn. Chas. Lenker.
Queens.
In pink carnations Mrs. ThomasW. Lawson has proved
a very good variety with us. It came a little eliort in
the stem at first, and during the month of January had
quite a few bursted flowers. We think it rather the best
of the lot sent out last year. Ethel Crocker has done
poorly, died off badly with us, and flowers have been few
and not of a very good quality. Genevieve Lord has
done very well with us; it is comparatively free and I
think it will prove a good commercial sort. Morning
Glory has done much better this year than last; it is
very prolific and a steady bloomer — undoubtedly a fin&
commercial variety, as it has no rival in its color. The
Marquis lifted poorly with us and was very late. I
hardly think it will pay us to grow it.
In scarlet G.H.Crane has not done so well with us this
year as last; it suffered severely during the hot weather
in September and October. This variety does not seem
to stand early lifting, and I think it should be left out-
side until the cool weatherof September. Governor Bliss
has done remarkably well; stood the early lifting and
the hot weather without injury; is very free, habit very
much like Scott.
Forcrimson Governor Roosevelthas done much better
with us this year than last, and has proved a freer
bloomer than last year. The flower is not quite so large
fn the early part of the season, due probably to the in-
tense heat which we had in September and October.
General Maceo is fully as proliflc as ever; flower inclined
to be a little smaller than last year. The color is also
darker. General Gomez has not done well with us this
year; the flower is small and many of them burst.
Harry Fenn has done remarkably well; it seems to be
quite an improvement on General Gomez, a larger flower
and much fuller; stem is fully as long as that of Gomez
and strong enough for the flower. It is rather more free
in bloom than the latter.
In yellow Golden Beauty has done better this year
than last, giving fine large flowers on good stiff stems.
It comes into flower in December and seems to continue
pretty well through the Winter season. Novelty is very
prolific, with a habit resembling that of General Maceo;
fiower very curious and attractive. Should not be
planted largely, as it is chiefly valuable as a novelty.
Dorner's 88, '97, is one of the best yellows we have, mag-
nificent in color, with a grand stem and quite a free
bloomer.
Among the variegated kinds Mrs. George M. Bradt has
done fully as well with us as in former years. Light
Bradt, a sport from the original flower, is fully as large,
with the same habit as the type. The groundwork is
snow white, and the markings are much lighter than
those of the type, about the same marking as that of
Helen Keller. No. 25, '97, is a seedling from Mrs. George
M. Bradt, with fine large flowers and very large stem.
It has done first-class with us. Olympia has done very
well with us indeed. The plant is in perfect health and
a comparatively free bloomer. It is not as free as Mrs.
Bradt up to date, and some of the flowers open defect-
ively, giving the bloom a sleepy appearance. The
flowers do not keep well with us. I regret exceedingly
that these features have developed in this flower. If we
could only grow it to perfection and have the bloom
keep a reasonable length ot time without going to sleep,
it would prove the best of the variegated sorts.
I can have very little to say about white varieties this
year, having lost nearly our entire stock, owing to its
being planted just before the hottest spell of weather
that we had iast Fall. Dorner's Lorna survived the
ordeal the best of any of the white sorts, and we con-
sider it superior to White Cloud. The Hill sport suffered
severely and we shall have to plant it another year in
order to determine whetherit will remain with us or not.
Queen Louise is doing very well with us; it is quite
free with a large flower, but the stem is inclined to be a
little weaker, resembling Alaska with us.
We are not prepared to pass judgment on Prosperity
for thefollowing reasons: After planting it on the bench,
.we cut back all of the leading shoots in order to destroy
the thrip with which the plants were infested. This
seems to have set the plants back so severely that we
shall not get many flowers until toward Spring. So far
as I can judge this variety is similar to the old Hinze's
White in habit, and must be grown in about the same
manner. I do not think it will stand late cutting back.

I put Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson at the head of the list
of varieties ot 1900 introduction. It is a fine large
flower and very tree with me. Ethel Crocker does not do
so well; it is a flne flower and of good color, but Is not
free enough. I think it needs a lighter soil. The Mar-
quis is too late. My crop will not be in until March,
although I had a few very flne flowers right along ot
beautiful color and with good stem. Olympia is good,
but the variation is very light up to January. The
flower is larger than that ot Mrs. George M. Bradt, but
not so strong, and the plant is not any freer with me.
Peru is not as good with me as White Cloud. My
plants of this variety were not in a very good condition
when housed, and this fact ma.y make a difference.
Ot older varieties I grow G. H. Crane for red. It does
fairly well with me, but I think it would do better in a
lighter soil. I discarded .\merica as being too single and

Jubilee for Riving too many off-colored flowers. Flora
Hill I consider the beet white for Spring and Summer
flowering. It is very shy with me in midwinter. My
soil is too rich and heavy for it. White Cloud is my
beat Winter flowering white, but it is no good as soon
as hot weather arrives. We need an ail-around good
white. I hope some of this year's introductions will All
the bill.
Triumph, Daybreak and Mrs. George M. Bradt are my
best-paying carnatloua; my soil seems to suit them ex-
actly. It is a rich, heavy, black limestone soil. I have
acquired latelv some property with a light sandy lime-
stone loam w'hich I shall try on some varieties next
year. According to my observation, Mrs. Lawson, White
Cloud, Triumph, Daybreak and Mrs. George M. Bradt
do best in the former, whilel believe Ethel Crocker, Flora
Hill and possibly G. H. Crane will do better in the latter.

In pink Mrs. Lawson easily leads. It is A No. li
strong, tree and healthy, with finestem and large flower.
Ethel Crocker I place second. It has fine, large flower,
good stems, the plants being free from disease, a good
bloomer.
The Marquis in color is the very flnest; flower large
with good stem .Not as tree as the foregoing, but I think
by taking good healthy cuttings this variety can be im-
proved so that it will rank with the best.
Genevieve Lord is a fine, healthy grower, gives a fair-
Ized flower with strong stem and very free. Morning
Glory with me will take the place of Daybreak. It is a
good grower, strong and healthy, fine stem, and a free,
continuous bloomer. Daybreak I will not grow any
more. Mrs. Frances Joost is very good, but there are
better, so I shall discard it.
In whites Flora Hill is losing ground with me; I shall
not grow it again. Mary Wood, it planted early, is a
continuous bloomer, with fine stems and large flowers,
which very seldom burst. White Cloud is very flne as
grown by some in this district, but it is no good with
me. Glacier I shall discard this season.
Among reds G. H. Crane is very free; a good grower
with fine stem— the best all-around scarlet. Red Bradt
gives flue large flowers, with good stems; is a good
grower; not so free as the last named. It is the largest
red we grow.
Estelle gives flne large flowers, is a free bloomer; of
nice color; good stem, but rather short. ;A good red tor
side benches.
General Gomez is the best dark red. There is nothing
lacking In it, except that the bloom could be larger.
General Maceo is too dark to sell In quantity.
Mrs. George M. Bradt still leads in the variegated class.
It seems to Improve every year— a large flower, strong
stem, is fairly free and good seller. Olympia gives a large
flower, with good stem. It is a shy bloomer, and in-
clined to burst. It showed much stem rot with me.
Elsie Ferguson is a strong, healthy grower; good stem
and flower and quite free. Carl Hagenbuuger.

I am pleased to submit the following, giving the good
as well as the bad qualities of each and my opinion as
to the profitableness of each. They are all accorded the
same general treatment, hence I may differ from others.
Where special treatment is given to some particular kinds,
different results may be obtained. I hope that all may
be benefited by having the merits of existing varieties
discussed.
In white Flora Hill and White Cloud are the only
kinds grown. The former is decidedly the best and most
profitable. It blooms from the time it iS planted in the
house until thrown out thefollowing year; rather weak
In the stem early in Fall, but produces good large Howers
at all times. It is very much subject to stem rot, from
which I never suffered any loss until the present season.
White Cloud makes an exceedingly strong growth, very
strong stems, is late coming into flower, bursts badly,
and by no means will the flowers average as large as
those of Flora Hill, although you can get occasionally
one equal to the best Flora Hill.
In red we grow our own seedling Rosemont in quan-
tity. It does well at all times, never bursts, has good
stem, though not quite as strong as some others. On
account of the pleasing shade is our best seller. If you
can persuade people that America is a red carnation, it
is a good free-blooming, strong-growing, all-round satis-
factory variety, and certainly makes the necessary num-
ber of blooms to entitle it to rankas a profitablekind to
grow. Its weakest point is its color.
Pink is the color 1 want; one-half ot my stock consists
of the different shades of , pink, and I class the varieties
1 grow as follows:
Triumph is the best free-flowering, early, strong-grow-
ing variety on the place. If it can be transferred to the
bench from the field successfully, it will make more large,
long, strong-stemmed blooms than any other pink, new
or old. It is subject to bacteria and hard to manage,
but it you succeed with it you can cut 30 flowers per
plant belore New Year's, as I have done. William Scott
has always been reliable, late as well as early, perfectly
healthy, will burst occasionally, but is so free you can
afford to lose a few flowers, and it will still rank high as
a producer. Size is more important now than a tew
years ago, and itls here deficient ascompared with some
of the newer kinds. Mrs. Frances Joost fB a pleaslDg
shade of pink, a medium-sized flower, will not quite
equal William Scott in productiveness, but I never have
seen an imperfect flower from this variety. The stem Is
better than that ot William Scott, the flower a trifle
larger it not cut too soon, and it will bring a better price.
It is profitable to grow. Daybreak and Victor I shall
drop. Melba will be substituted for the former. This
latter variety has done remarkably well this season. It
has good stem, good-sized flowers, is a good grower and
perfectly healthy and easily managed variety.
Mrs. George M. Bradt and Mayor Pingree both pro-
duce good flowers, but not enough ot them to pay for
the room the plants take up.
Of the 1900 varieties I have 50 each of Ethel Crocker
and The Marquis. Mrs. Lawson, Olympia, and Gene-
vieve Lord I sampled by the dozen. Not a very large
stock; enough, however, to give one an idea for another
year. I secured them all in pots, received them all the
same day, except The Marquis, which came very late, as
rooted cuttings. Ethel Crocker has made the best
plants, given the most flowers and probably averages
the largest bloom, but will burst. It is also very early,
flowering in October. Genevieve Lord has made the
largest individual bloom, the longest stem, but has not
attained the size of plant nor produced theuumberot
flowers per plant that Ethel Crocker has, nor has it
bloomed as early. Olympia has not proved as good as
Mrs. George M. Bradt. Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson, al-
though late, has recently made some remarkable flowers
on very strong stems, and looks like doing much better
from now on. The Marquis, also late, has the nio3t
desiralile color of any ot the 1900 pink class; gives only
medium-sized flowers, and has been just as hard to man-
age as Triumph noted above. It has not equaled this
latter variety either in size ot flower or productiveness.
John J. Connelly.

White Cloud is an ideal flower, but neither early nor
constant enough with me, although as productive as
most varieties. Peru, at Its best, is a good thing; tine
large flowers on long, stiff sterns; plant not so healthy
as might be desired. Elm City is a good flower on the
type ot Flora Hill, but with stronger stem and in color
similar to old Hinze's White; an early and constant
bloomer and quite free.
In striped kinds between Mrs. George M. Bradt and
Olympia the former has the preference, although I would
hate to live off the income derived from either. For crim-
son Generals Maceo and Gomez are pretty evenly divided,
the former being the better bloomer and General Gomez
the readier seller.
In scarlet G. H. Crane is the best ot its color, and one
that has nearly all the good points requisite in a carna-
tion.
For dark pink Leslie Paul is inclined to be a bit late,
but when it comes it is a good one to have and produc-
tive enough to make it pay.
In the pink class with me Ethel Crocker is so far ahead
of every other one that I would not be a fair jurigeof the
others. They are producing an abundance ot Howers, 05
percent, of which are bringing me $6 per 100 and over
since early in the season — a fact that tells more than I
could possibly say. Albert M. Herr.
Philadelphia.
In white varieties we are gradually drifting back to
Lizzie McGowan. This variety, although producing a
rather slender stem, is the most productive and suffers lees
from stem rot than either Flora Hill or White Cloud. In
the labyrinth of pink varieties westill hold on to William
Scott of the older kinds, and among the newer sorts
Ethel Crocker has proven to be the best for commercial
purposes; it makes a healihy growth in the field and
when housed shows no sign ot stem rot. It is also the
most productive. It a florist has a dozen different pink
varieties displayed on his counter for sale, his patrons
will always select Ethel Crocker flrst and willingly pay
more for it.
We have been promised so many ideal scarlet varieties
by the introducers, and have tried nearly all of them, that
we are almost tempted to say with the Western florist
poet, " Ot red carnations we have enough." Why do so
many growers still cling to Portia and Thomas Cart-
ledge? Ot the newer scarlets G.H.Crane is about the
best, commercially.
With the exception ot Eldorado, the less said about the
other yellow variegated varieties the better. A good
pure yellow is a long way off yet. We have had about
half a dozen pure yellow seedlings under cultivation, but
their growth was invariably very poor and they were not
worthy of introduction. C. EtsELE.
Waynesboro.
We have no new varieties of our own origin; luck is
against us. Of last year's introductions we have Olym-
pia, Ethel Crocker, Genevieve Lord, Mrs. Thomas W.
Lawson. Mrs. La wson and Ethel Oocker are superior
to our standard kind and will be grown on a larger scale.
Genevieve Lord is too small and Olympia too weak.
The latter two were diseased Al cuttings when we got
them, and The Marquis was almost dead on arrival.
But we bought them second-hand— I mean not direct
from the originators. Ouradviceis,buy your stock only
from the originator, and expose iiim if his stock is con-
sumptive.
Ot standards we grow G. H. Crane for red ; Mrs. George
M. Bradt for fancy; Flora Hill and Evelina for white;
Daybreak, Mrs. Frances Joost and Triumph for pink;
General Maceo for maroon. We shall add Ethel Crocker
and Mrs. T. W. Lawson to our standard sorts.
We consider March 1 too late for distribution of seed-
lings, and predict an earlier date after this year.

White Carnation Queen Louise.
Your readers maybe interested in knowing how Queen
Louise is doing on our place. We have in your advertis-
ing columns and in our circular chown cuts taken from
photographs every two weeks, but this does not convey
the number ot flowers picked, etc. Queen Louise, if any-
thing, is better this year thau last. Our flrst house was
planted September 10 to 15, and is 110 feet long by 22
feet wide. We picked up to November 1 more than 6,000
flowers. A large number of these were short-stemmed,
owing to the very dry weather we had during the
Summer. During November we picked 6,000 flowers,
Decembers, 872, and in January 6,647. These carnation
flowers have averaged us during December and January
over $4 per 100, bringing at the holidays in New York
as high as $8 per 100.
Queen Louise is not only a good bloomer, as shown In
the photographs, but is also a very large flower, the
average being about three inches when left on the plant
until fully developed. One feature will recommend it to
the retail florist, and that is tie fact that it wiil keep
longer on the plant than any other carnation. It is
always pure white; we have never tound a single flower
with a streak of color in it. J. L. Dillon.

My Experience with Carnations
Disseminated in 1901.
Read by John H. Taylor beforetbe New York
Florists' Club, February 11, 1901.
The century closes with a distinct ad-
vancement In the quality of the carna-
tion. In fact, the new century is heralded
in by what may prove to be an entirely
new class ot the divine flower approach-
ing more and more to the Malmaison type,
for how can we compare anything pre-
viously grown in this country to t|iat
splendid flower Prosperity? Here we
find size, shape, vigor, constitution, and
with it all freedom of bloom. Seedlings
from this carnation already show in a
marked degree their parentage, and I
have no doubt something very tine will
be forthcoming from this variety.
Boston has finally consented that the
spokes and the rim of the universe shall,
after paying due toll, enjoy with the Hub
that grand flower, Mrs. Thomas W.
Lawson. This is another carnation that
stands in a class by itself. This Fall,
however, owing to its short stems, it has
proved rather disappointing. This may
have been due to the season or treat-
ment, as I have seen it very fine in the
Fail in Boston. For a large flower it is
very prolific, a good keeper and very
popular with the flower-loving public.
It requires very little tying, as the stems
are very stiff and strong and are now of
good average length. These two carna-
tions mark a period of great advance-
ment In carnation culture and come up
very nearly to John Thorpe's prophecy
of the " 4-inch flower."
We nowcome to fourcarnations which,
although they cannot be classed with the
two just mentioned, have great individ-
ual merits and may prove good paying
carnations. The only one so far to show
itself a winner is Genevieve Lord. Like
one of its parents, William Scott, It is a
strong grower, a flower of most beauti-
ful pink, a free bloomer, with strong
stems, requiring but little support, in
color a most delicate pink shading to
almost white. As a market bloom it
flnds instant favor, showing the public
appreciates its good qualities. Its prin-
cipal fault is the size of the bloom. With
me it is no larger than Scott. As a com-
mercial variety I should consider it one
of the best.
Ethel Crocker. Here most of us have
been badly disappointed. Whether it is
due to soil, hot Summer, or dull Winter,
we cannot tell. So far it has proved itself
a dismal failure. The flowers when per-
fect are beautiful, but the larger propor-
tion come split, are one-sided and poorly
colored. With me it is also very late and
very shy; in fact, altogether too modest
to give us the benefit of her charms.
The Marquis, a noble name and a very
large and perfect flower, lacking, how-
ever, so far the necessary qualities to
make it valuable as a commercial bloom.
In constitution I have found it delicate.
It is of a very retiring disposition and be-
lieves in short hours and halt years of
work.
Olympia, a beautiful flower, is delicate
inconstitution thissea8on,aud so tar has
shown itself to be very loath to impart
its favors.
These varieties, I believe, comprise the
cream of this season's introductions.
They are of an advanced type and may
next year prove to be all that is claimed
for them by their introducers. To give
an Illustration of howlittlecan be judged
by one year's trial of a novelty which as
a rule is weakened by over propagation,
we will take Mr. Ward's General Gomez.
Most carnation growers discard it In
favor of General Maceo, and even Mr.
Ward has only a small bed ot it now.
Yet If Mr. Ward should never give us
another carnation he would deserve the
thanks ot all lovers of carnations, espe-
cially the grower. Here we have what
is badly needed, a crimson carnation,
with good constitution, size, a prolific
bloomer, and one ot the best sellers. It
Is therefore wise, gentlemen, not to be in
too much of a hurry to decide on the
merits of new favorites. Study their
habits and find out, if possible, the con-
ditions best suited to their taste in order
to bring out their best qualities.
In concluding, I think, from what little
I have observed since going back to car-
nation growing, that the varieties we
now grow are like the thoroughbred
horse, dog or any other animal brought
to great perfection. They need good
shelter and the most intelligent great
care. If weakened by improper culture
they are easily attacked by all forms of
disease; in other words, they cannot
stand rough usage, neglect, or too much
forcing. Give them good care in the
propagating bed and In their treatment
before planting, and do not lift or plant
them as if they were so many weeds.
The carnation of to-day will pay you
well if properly handled. I liave no
doubt in a few years the plan of growing
carnations will follow that ot the chrys-
anthemum and the violet.
In the discussion which followed Mr.
May said he had seen The Marquis in full
flower on December 5 last, and the
grower was realizing $6 per 100 on the
blooms. At the speaker's establishment
the variety did not come into flower
until the 20th ot December, since which
date he had been cutting continuously.
He considered The Marquis a good va-
riety, only it did not flower early enough
with him, which went to prove that
every soil does not suit it. Genevieve
Lord had not produced the number of
flowers that Ethel Crocker did.
Mr. Taylor mentioned that Ethel
Crocker was seen by him in splendid
shape at Robert Craig & Son's, but re-
sults similar to those obtained in Penn-
sylvania could not be got on Long
Island. In reply to a question Mr. Taylor
said his plants of William Scott, grown
under glass all Summer, were taken out
ot the propagating bed and placed in soil
at the same time (In May) as other car-
nations were put in the lot; In fact, the
houses that these plants occupied had
a good-sized clear white, scored 85 points.
Mr. May also had on exhibition a flne
bunch of Olympia.
Honorable mention was also awarded
to Cressbrook, a deep pink flower of the
Mrs. George M. Bradt type, being a seed-
ling ot that variety and William Scott,
sent in by C. Warburton, Fall Elver,
Mass. Henry Kindsgrab, Hempstead,
L. I., had a seedling of William Scott and
Lizzie McGowan, a striped flower on a
white ground. lid. W. Weimar, Mount
Vernon, N. Y., showed a halt dozen seed-
lings, among which were some very
promising kinds. There were not enough
flowers ot each, however, for the judges
to pass upon them, which is to be regret-
ted.
The Committee on Awa^ds,P.Schwein-
fu^th, Carl WflBiner and John Birnie,
called in|theespertservlcesot Paul Daille-
douze to help judge the varieties sub-
mitted.

been used for young stock. He com-
menced cutting about the 25th ot July
and had continued ever since. No stem
rot on the plants had shown itself. He
had obtained better and more flowers
than from the plants that were lilted.
Even to-day they will hold their own
fairly well with some of the best of the
newer varieties — not as exhibition
blooms, but commercial flowers grown
for their money value. Too large a
bloom or a plant that does not produce
enough does not pay. Varieties were
wanted where one did not have to wait
until Spring before they eamein to flower.
The display ot carnations was very
creditable, there being many new and
commendable varieties. DailledouzeBros.
showed a vase ot Prosperity, and John
H. Taylor exhibited a flne bunch each of
General Gomez and William Scott. The
latter were from plants that had been
grown indoors all Summer, and were ex-
cellent both for color and length of stem.
All these were awarded honorable men-
tion. E. R. Sherwood, Norwalk, Conn.,
sent a vase ot the new striped variety
Laura Sherwood, which scored 76 points.
H. Weber & Sons, Oakland, Md., showed
their two new ones— Norway, a large
white which scored 87 points, and
Egypt, a crimson variety that scored 7-i.

Jagger, Westhampton, L. I., sent In two

No. 4, a pink, 80 points. John N. May,
Summit, N. J., had several very flne varie-
ties. Maid of Honor, a beautiful light
pink, scored 78 points; No. 2,209, a large
bright pink, made 89 points; No. 4,112,
a cerise pink, scored 75, and No. 2,972,
furnishes the following particulars re-
gardingit: " The color is pink, ot Scott
shade. Flower large and symmetrical,
built out nicely In the center. The calyx
is strong, never bursting. The stems are
long and stiff, but not ungraceful; the
flower is very fragrant. The plant is of
the easiest culture, never having been
affected with disease of any kind. It is
wonderfully prolific, coming in bloom
very early and continuing in full flower
the entire season. Its keeping and ship-
ping quaHties are unexcelled."
The blooms of Norway and Egypt car-
nations, from H.Weber & Sons, Oakland,
Md., shown in our illustration, were pho-
tographed after considerable delay in

A Royal Wreath.
Our illustration Is reproduced from a
photograph ot the wreath placed on the
statue ot her late majesty Queen Vic-
toria in Montreal by the Gardeners and
Florists' Club ot that city. The wreath
was made of flowers donated by the
members, and every place in the vicinity,
private and commercial, contributed
something. Many flne cattleyas and
cypripediums were used. There were
bunches of lilies, roues, heather, and
shamrock, representing the four different
nationalities. The completed wreath
was five feet six Inches in diameter and
was the work ot Messrs. Jos. Bennett,
Jas. McKenna and A. C. Wilshire. The
continued cold has kept theflowersfrozen.

BRIEFS FOR BUSY FLORISTS.
Dahlias. — To work up a stock of these
for planting in the garden, thedry tubers
may now be started by placing them on
a warm bench and lightly covering them
with soil. Keep the soil slightly moist
and they soon start to send out shoots,
which, when large enough, should be'
taken as cuttings and rooted in the prop-
agating bed, potting them along as re-
quired until the time arrives to plant
them outdoors.
Cannas. — The old stools will require
some attention about this time, and If
a bench be at disposal where they can
be placed and covered with soil, It will
be a good plan to treat them in that
manner. It, however, no bench is availa-
ble, the cannas can wait for two or three
weeks; but in the meantime the stools
must be gone ever, and any that have
started to grow can be put in boxes and
stood in some corner where they will at
least get a little light, so as not to be-
come drawn and useless. If good-sized
plants are wanted by the beginning of
the season, it will be advisable to start
them now. Do not attempt dividing
them until the eyes have made a good
start; then break them apart and pot
them. They can, of course, be first cut
up into separate eyes before being put
in the soil, but we have always found
that they start quicker and better If
allowed to do so before being separated.
Hydrangeas desired in bloom nicel.v
for Easter are just showing their flower
heads, and an application of weak liquid
manure occasionally will be ot great
benefit to them. There is plenty of side
growths making along the stems ot the
plants, and as soon as these are suffi-
ciently large, take them off for cuttings
to furnish next year's supply of plants
for early forcing.
Cyclamens. — Plants that were sown
last Fall and have since been transplant-
ed into flats are about ready to be
potted up separately. Do not try to
crowd them into too small pots; give
each plant whatever size pot the roots
demand, and in potting use only leaf
soil and a little sand.
Crimson Rambler and H. P. Roses in-
tended for Easter sales will stand more
heat and water as their foliage devel-
ops. Be persistent in the syringing of
such plants, as they can be so easily
spoiled should red spider get among
them. Fumigatingmust also be followed
up regularly to keep down green fly. Try
to have the plants budded nicely by the
first week in March, when the.v will be In
prime condition for Easter without any
undue forcing.

Maatlon th* Hctlsta' mxdiaai* whan wnttoc.
(57) Sawdust is better kept out of
the manure; it lias no mauurial properties,
and owing to the presence of acetic acid
it is at any time liable to cause trouble.
(58) Seedling Carnation. — Thecarna-
tion was quite faded upon its arrival
here, and asitisthe first flower produced,
it would be lietter to wait until other
blooms show, and submit a few of them
later.
(59) Choice of a Location. — In what
part of the Uuited .States would you ad-
vise a person to start a florist business,
he being well posted ingrowing and in
the details of a retail trade? — P. R.
— This is a knotty problem, the best
solution of which might be obtained by
a careful study of the florist business
through the means of the trade press.
(60) Dielytra Spectabilis, Spiraea
Japonica and Lilacs for Easter. —
The dielytra, spireea and lilacs should ail
go into a warmer house this week to be
in time for Easter. Give the plants a
night temperature of CO degrees, and
when the flowers begin to show, place
the plants in a cooler house to harden
them off as it were, so astoinducelonger
keeping qualities in the flowers.
(61) Begonia Manicata from Leaf
Cuttings. — Please tell me if you can raise
Begonia mauicata from leaf cuttings, or
what is the best way to raise them?
What heat is required? — A Subscriber.
— Begonia manicata can be propagated
from leaf cuttings, but it is much quicker
to take cuttings of the tips of theshoots.
These, in a temperature of Go degrees,
will root readily and make plants in one-
third of the timerequired by leaf cuttings.
(62) Pseonies for the AVholesale
Market. — When is the best time toplant
out pieonies, and which varieties are the
most profitable for the wholesale mar-
ket?—0. B.
— The best time to divide or transplant
piEonies is in the Fall, preferably in the
month of October. They can, however,
be moved in the Spring, but flowering
will not be so sure if the transplanting
is done at that time. P. ofBciualie and
its varieties are considered the best for
commercial purposes.
(63) Crown and Terminal Buds on
Chrysantliemunis. — The terminal buds
on a chrysanthemum always come in
clusters, and when all these are taken oft
excepting the one which appears to be
the strongest, the remaining one is the
terminal bud. The crown bud is the bud
that forms flrst and is not surrounded
by any other flower buds. Where the
terminal buds are to lie taken, it means
that the crown buds that show must be
rubbed off when they appear; a cluster
of terminal buds will then follow very
quickly at the end of the same shoot on
which the crown bud formed.
(64) Propagating California
Privet from Hardwood Cuttings. —
California privet is propagated from cut-
tings taken in the Winleror earlySpring,
before growth commences. Thecuttings
are made about t inches in length and
planted in rows almost 5 inches apart,
as early in the Spring as possible. They
aregenerally allowed to calUius, although
near the seashore they can be planted at
once if not cut until Spring, as they grow
readily. It is common to cultivate the
growing plants the first year by hand,
and when this is done, as they are in
rows, it will be seen that a great many
plants can thus be raised the flrst year
on one acre.
(65) CryiJtomeria Japoniea. — What
is the best way to grow Cryptonieria ja-
ponica in Winter? I have kept the plants
in about 50 degrees and they have turned
black.— Subscriber.
— Cryptomeria japonica is almost
hard.v, and should be kept in a very cool
house through the Winter. If the tem-
perature had been maintained anywhere
between 40 and 45 degrees the" plants
would havestood the Winter much better.
The best thing to do now would be to
put them in a cooler house and give
water only when actually necessary,

(66) Rose Wood Running Blind.—
MoBt all uew wood breaking from tbe
baB« of iny Bride and Hridesinaid rose
]>laut8 i8g:rowlnp;vij^oronHly,l)iit branch-
ing out thick and blind at top. Can you
suggest a cause and a remedy? The
plants were rooted from blind wood last
Winter. I am unable to procure cow
manure, ("an you give me a substitute
to use iu composting for rose Boil?—
Puzzled.
— It is generally understood that the
throwingof blind wood from roses is the
result of an impoverished soil, and we
would advise that a liberal dressing of
manure be applied to the benches. We
would also recommend that liquid ma-
nure be given once a week at the least.
Taking the cuttings from blind wood
does not tend to produce blind wood by
any means; this has been proved conclu-
sively time and again.
If c<tw manure cannot be obtained,
horse manure that is well rotted will
answer every purpose in making up the
compost.
(67) Trouble with Roses. — I send by
mail a ro.se bud and leaves; please say
what is the trouble with them. I bought
800 plants last Fall, potted them In
4-inch pots, affording good drain-
age, and kept them watered when the
soil looked dry. They were potted in
common soil.a little clayey; but I waited
for a better irrowth before applying liquid
manure. The plants were attacked with
mealy bug. green aphis, and a round
black bug found in the axils of the leaves
when received. These insects have been
got rid of now, but to do this has taken
plentyof hibor. ,\ew growth hasstarted,
and oti the outside edges of the leaves
there forms a white substance, the leaf
curls up, and after a. while turns brown.
Theoutsidepelals of the buds turn %vhite.
I want the roses for salein.Spring: would
like some also for cut bloom. — X. Y.
— The roses seem to have been in bad
shape last Fall, suffering from the many
iiiseclsas noted. Potting them in com-
mon soil, using 4-inch pots, and then
keeping them in a w-arm temperature
through the Winter, giving water only
when they looked dry, has resulted, as it
only could, in a very poor, half-starved
growth. Those plants that are wanted
to produce cut flowers should be planted
out on the greenhouse bench. Prepare
the soil for them by mixing together four
parts good soil and one part well-rotted
manure. This should be done immedi-
ately. The plants required for pot sales
should be repotted, using soil the same
as th;it mentioned for the benches. Syr-
inge them regularly to keep down the
red spider, and when the roots begin to
push into the new soil give weak liquid
manure once a week.
(68) Heating.— Please tell me what you
think of the following method of hen ting
greenhouses? I am to build two houses,
each 11x60 feet, for the purpose of raising
lettuce and radishes. The houses will
have a three-foot wall, 2 feet in the
ground and 1 foot above the ground.
They will run noith and south, with
packing shed at north end. Now, do you
think that they can be heated by a Are
box, similar to those used for ordinary
flues at the north end, with pipe the
same as stove pipe, but made of No. 12
Russian iron: the pipe to be about 6
inches in diameter, and run from the Are
box at north end up each side of house
to the chimney at the south end, two
distinct pipes, one on each side of house?
My idea is to run this pipe 1 foot from
bench and 1 foot from top of wall of
house— the top of bench, I mean.— A. S. C.
— The plan proposed would not g've
satisfaction. It is a difficult matter to
get a singlefiue to draw well in a 60-foot
house, and when there are two, one will
draw poorly, It at all. It will be better
to build the house .35 or 40 teet long and
IS or 20 feet wide, thus securing about
the same area as if 11 by 60 feet, and
then run .i 10-iuch tlue around the house
and back to the chimney, which should
be built over the arch or furnace. For a
number of feet it should be of fire brick,
inside measurement being 8 by 12 inches,
but the remainder can be of 10-inch
glazed sewer i)ipe. The flue may run
either under the sidebenchesor under the
middle bench. Of course, it will be neces-
sary to uneraised benches, at least where
the Hue is located, and care should be
taken that the wood Is at least six inches
away from the flue, especially for the
first 30 feet,-L, R, Taft,

The Market.
We are now passing through the
first of our genuine Winter weather,
and this, too, with very little sun-
shine. The season for good roses is
with us, but since the first of the year
we have seen very few good blooms.
Still we have no particular trouble in
disposing of what we get. Carna-
tions are more plentiful, but the stems
in most cases are weak and the ca-
lyces split. The fancy flowers received
from Mrs. E. T. Grave sell very
readily at 4c. and 6c. By the way, you
ought to see White Cloud, Dorothy.
America, Leslie Paul, and others as
they are grown at this place; it would
be a revelation to a whole lot of grow-
ers. Next time you visit Richmond,
go and see these for yourselves.
A Rose Show. j
Saturday afternoon, Feb. 9, was
rose day at the club rooms. Sunder-'
bruch & Meyers swept the boards for
best vase ot Bridesmaid, fifty blooms,,
although they had no walk over, as
Max Rudolph and J. R. Goldman were
hot on their trail. George & Allan
won out on best twenty-flve Brides-
maids, Meteors and Perle. Max Ru-
dolph took first for best twenty-five
Bride. The South Park Floral Co., of
Newcastle, displayed a vase each of
Bride, Bridesmaid and Marquis Litta.
Mr. Heller had one very handsome
American Beauty with him which was
not entered for a prize, but was much
admired. E. G. Hill had a fine vase
of Sunrise, White Lady and Queen of
Edgely roses, also a vase of Avondale
and Gaiety carnations. The latter is
on the order of Mrs. George M. Bradt,
but is said to be much more prolific.
Avondale is a clear pink, not a large
flower, but a good commercial sort,
having a fine stem and good calyx.
White Lady Rose is a blush pink, a
very delicate shade, large in size and
is certainly a novelty of no mean
value. Sunrise is a decided novelty
and is a fine seller over the counter. I
predict quite a future for this rose
after it becomes known. L. X. Jen-
nings by his grower, Mr. Hensley, had
a fine lot of Bride and Bridesmaid
roses and Jubilee carnations for exhibi-
tion only.
Taking the exhibit as a whole, it
was the best rose display we have
ever had here. Visitors were E. G.
Hill and Mr. Grave, Richmond; Mr.
Heller. New Castle; Messrs. Eschner
and Renkauf, of Philadelphia.
Business still holds up well, with
plenty of funeral work to keep all the
stores busy. E. G. G.

Association Mfetingf.
The February meeting of the
Florists' Association ot Indiana was
held at B. A. Nelson's otBce Tuesday
evening, February 5. Over thirty
members were present — by far the
largest meeting held in some time.
President Haugh, of Anderson, pre-
sided; E. G. Hill and John A. Evans of
Richmond, were the outside members
present. Several new names were
placed on file and one member elected.
Wm. G. Bertermann, as secretary
and representative ot the Executive
Committee having this year's Floral
Festival and Chrysanthemum Show in
charge, reported and explained what
had been done so tar by the commit-
tee. He flled an agreement as to the
privileges of the association during the
show and reported that over $1,000 had
been appropriated tor the regular
premium list. Subscription lists have
been started and a good substantial
amount is assured, the merchants per-
sonally attending to this part of the
work. Printed premium lists are now
ready and can be had by addressing
Wm. G. Bertermann, secretary, 241
Massachusetts avenue, Indianapolis.
Some opposition to the new committee
seemed to be prevalent among the
members of the society, but as many
did not understand the purpose and
advantages of the plan, after due ex-
planation the opposing forces drifted
into space. A prepared premium list
was gone over, section by section, and
with few changes was accepted. Al-
together it is a well prepared list.
A committee was appointed to revise
the State Fair premium list.
Anthony Wiegand gave a talk on his
travels through the South and Cuba.

After the business had been trans-
acted every one was invited to partaike
of an elegant luncheon served by Mrs.
Nelson and assisting ladies. A very
enjoyable time was had. A vote ot
thanks was tendered the hosts. Every
one present was presented with Nel-
son's new carnation blooms. This
carnation is one ot the best pinks yet
seen by the writer. It is of the Scott
color, slightly fringed and will be on
the market in another year. Mr. Nel-
son will attend the Baltimore meeting,
and no doubt will have some good
flowers to show there.
The excursion to Heller's, New Cas-
tle, Ind., has been postponed until
March.
On a recent visit of the writer to
Lafayette he found our genial friend
Dorner, Sr., among his seedling carna-
tions. Everything was in flrst-class
shape,' as usual. Several fine seedlings
of great promise were seen, especially
in striped varieties. Purplish shades
are slowly coming into prominence.
Lorna, the new beautiful white;
Morning Glory, the light pink, and
many others were in their glory. Fred
Dorner, Jr., will attend the Baltimore
meeting.
Trade Items.
Roses and carnations are keeping
very scarce, with trade rather brisk
on account of much funeral work, wed-
dings and dinner parties. The weather
is very changeable — too many cloudy
days.

The F=i-orists' Excht^nge.
Chicas:o.
state of Trade.
Heavy snow etormB and 'some real
wintry weather are in part responsible
tor a decided accumulation of roses.
American Beauty are iiardiy so good in
quality, with lots of shorts, which in some
cases have been sold in thousand lots at
very low prices. The same is true of
Bride and Bridesmaid, more of these
beingsoldat$6 and below than at higher
figures. Fancy Meteor fetch a good price,
us they are none too plentiful.
Carnations are in sufficient supply for
all demands, and, like roses, may now be
seen on the counters of the commission
houses long after the morning sales are
over. As the big wholesale growers send
in two consignments a day, the tendenc.v
is to clean out at some price in the morn-
ing, ready for the afternoon shipments.
Uome retailers complain somewhat of
business not being so good this year as
last, except in funeral work, which ac-
counts for white stock still being in
greatest demand.
The end of this week should make
things brisk, as the extra call for Mardi
Gras at New Orleans will then bein order.
Bulbous stock of all kinds is now get-
ting very plentiful. Lilies are of poor
stock and calias are rather too abun-
dant. Both range from 51.50 to $2 per
dozen.
Among Growers.
M. Weiland, Evanston, sells most
o( the stock grown here locally, and
often buys in the Chicago wholesale mar-
ket. Roses, as in other places, are mean-
time off crop. The product of Liberty
has hardly paid for the plants, and while
healthy looking, they have failed so far
to push good wood and flowers. Carna-
tions are largely and very successfully
grown. Genevieve Lord, The Marquis,
and White Cloud are doing well; Evans-
ton also is in good shape, as are Mrs.
George M. Bradt and Mrs. James Dean.
(t. H. Crane is a failure here. Argyle is
too weak in the stem. At retail, fancy
stock sells 50c. per dozen; other varieties
ROc. to 40c. Harrisii Hies are very poor;
at least 50 per cent, are diseased or
worthless. LongiQorums are doing bet-
ter, but even these are not without some
trouble, stock being apt to come uneven
and stunted in growth, with a feathery
crown of poor foliage. Peter Weiland, the
son, although but a young muu, is man-
ager, but now contemplates starting lu
business in some Indiaua town with his
nncle, Peter Eeinberg.
The Kroescliell Bros.
The Kroeschell hot water boiler is
a household word among ihe trade in
Chicago, liundreds being in use by florists
and vegetable growers hereabouts. Your
eorrespondent was shown through the
immense boiler works of the concern the
other day by the elder brother, who is a
student in the iineof boilermaking. The
game workmen are employed, the same
grade of flange steel plate, and the very
best charcoal iron in the tubes used tliat
are necessary in the most powerful $5,000
steam boiler, of which they have several
in process of construction now, even
though no high pressure is needed in sim-
ple hot water boilers. Powerful machin-
ery is employed to lathe and bore the
plates, so as to bring them to the great-
est exactitude, with the highest guaran-
tee of lasting quality. The firm reports
last year as the best in all their long
years of business experience, and so far
as inquiries go, the present season bids
fair to be equally prosperous. They ad-
vise their customers, however, that steel
plate may advance, owing to combina-
tions, hence those likely to want boilers
would do well to get their orders in on
time. We see they make boilers in sizes
from No. 1, having a heating capacity
of 6,000 feet of glass surface, with 2,000
feet of 4-inch pipe, up to No. 12, with a
heating capacity of 30,000 square feet of
glass, with 12,000 feet of pipe.
Wliolesale Changes.
By the first of May the large room
at the corner of Wabash Avenue and
Randolph Street, in the Atlas Block,
now occupied as a saloon and restaurant,
will be fitted up for a wholesale florists'
place. On the Wabash entrance Weiland
& Risch will move into a flne commodi-
ous store. The Randolph Street entrance
will lead to three smaller divisions. It is
expected that F. E. Benthey will take one
of these and John Muno will start in
another to sell his own cut. When all
are fitted up, this will make 10 whole-
salers in one building.
Roand About.
Weitor Bros, claim the most profit-
able caroationa with tbem this year are
Sport, Triumph, G. H. Crane, America,
Flora Hill, White Clond and The Marquis.
Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson has not been a
great success.
The Central Floral Co. used a carload
of wild SQiilax in a decoration in the
form of a German summer garden for
the Chicago Athletic Club on Wednesday,
February 6.
The wife of Julius Fulle, grower at Des-
plaiues, died February 5, after a severe
illness.
J. C. Vaughan has returned from his
Eastern trip. Ess.
St. Louis.
The Market.
Since our last report we have had
considerable snow, rain and sloppy
weather, which had a rather depressiug
effect on business. Stock has become a
little more plentiful, though not at all
too abundant. Prices remain about the
same as last quoted: Best roses, 8c.; car-
nations, 2 to 4c. A few American Beauty
roses are in and sell for $4.50 per dozen
down to 5c. eacli. Roman hyacinths are
a glut and cannot be moved at any price.
Smilax is rather scarce at 1.5c. Violets
bring 50c., with prospects of 60c. to 75c.
for St. Valentine's Day. Freesia is plen-
tiful, and the pure white stock, if good,
sells at 4c., but there are a good many
yellow or off-colored flowers that won't
bring 2c.
Notes.
Mr. Rolker, of New York, is in
way South. He reports
isfa-ctopv.
town and on his way Sout-. — ^ .!,,,„• .
business very satisfactory.
A. W. Hoyle, florist, of Spencer, Mass
is also here visiting local growers.
C. C. S.
Bnffalo.
Trade Netrs.
The weather keeps dccideldy win-
try, though not extreme. Local supplies
of flowers are hardly tip to the demand,
and more distant sources seem less ready
than common with quantities. Conse-
quently nothing is now being wasted.
The supply of violets has decreased from
that of a week ago, and St. Valentine's
Day no doubt will see them sought for.
Jottings.
William Scott visited Hartford,
Conn., last week, on Pan-American busi-
ness.
John Barclay, of New York, was in
town last week, and H. J. Wise, the Au-
rora, (N. Y.) carnationist, called on
Thursday last.
Not much excitement has been mani-
fested thus far about attending the Bal-
timore meeting of the American Carna-
tion Society next week. As so many
railroads lead from Buffalo a nice quota
of delegates will, however, beyond a
doubt, be in evidence. Vim.
Pittsbnrc.
Tbe Market.
The past week's trade was fair.
The supply of good stock is fully equal
to the demand, although the cold
weather, which still prevails, holds back
stock considerably. Funeral work was
rather plentiful and caused a little
scarcity in white flowers, which made
Paper White narcissus and Roman hya-
cinths move better. Roses are of the best
quality, selling at from 8c. to 12c. Car-
nations dropped a little from $1.50 and
up. Tulips bring about 4c. for good

Cliris. Hotfmeister, of Seattle, Wash.,
paid a Tislt to ills old home the past
week, the first time since he lelt here,
about 10 or 12 years ago. He was much
surprised at the many changes that have
occurred during that time. I^e was
formerly n the florist business near this
city, aui is now doing very weU in
Seattle.
Henry Hartman, of Warren, O., for-
merly of Allegheny, spent a few days In
town.
S. S. Skidelsky, of Philadelphia, was a

The market.
The cut-flower market bas been very
satisfactory for the growers aud dealers.
There is a brislj demaud tor all good
flowers and the supply from local sources,
which is disposed of at good prices, is
altiigether inadequate to meet the call.
Pliiladelphia and Washington are niak-
in)x up the shortage in our market, while
some of our growers send their best pick
out of town. Few Harrisii lilies are as
yet to be seen; but the stock tor Easter
trade is well in hand with most growers.
Disease is somewhat unevenly distributed
among the different lots; a tew are badly
affected, while others show no more than
5 to 6 per cent, of sick plants. The uni-
versal complaint is the dwarfish growth,
by which the plants lose considerable of
their decorative value. Most growers
think that the stock is somewhat slower
in growth: this is so in a marked degree
with even slightly diseased plants. Some
Dutch hyacinths may beseen on the mar-
kets, but they are as yet of poor quality.
Tulips are coming in more freely and are
very pretty. Lily ol the valley Is very
fine and perhaps a bit scarce. The price
obtained seems barely profitable, though .
Fine flowering plants may now be seen
in all the stores and azaleas seem to be
the favorites. E. A. Seldewitz has fine
lots of primulas and cyclamen. The latter,
though the plants are somewhat smaller
than usual, show an excellence of varie-
ty, which proves that continued careful
selection is worthy of greatest attention.
Symmetry of the flowers and broadness
of the petals are the desiderata in cycla-
mens.
Club Notes.
The club met on Monday, February
11." Arrangements for the carnation con-
vention were again the principal business
before the large attendance. The work-
ing committees submitted brief reports.
They have found such hearty support on
the part of the club members aud out-
siders that they are looking forward to
the realization of their plans with the
equanimity of men who are perfectly sure
of success. Indeed, the Baltimore florists
are worked up to a fine pitch of enthusi-
asm. Never were the merits or demerits
of carnation flowers more eagerly dis-
cussed and more intense interest shown
for new seedlings.
A committee of tour ladies has been ap-
pointed to receive the visiting ladies.
Mrs. Fred Burger is acting as chairman
of the committee.
Mr. Macnab's experiments with chemi-
cals as fertilizers and insecticides have for
years been of great interest to the Balti-
more growers. It Is to be regretted that
his business obligations as manager of
two of the most important chemical
works here, have lately taken up all his
time, and that he had for a time to aban-
don his most useful researches. Mr. Mac-
nab had rented his greenhouse plant in
Catonsville for the last few years, but
since last Fall the place has been idle,
much to the regret of his customers, who
up to a few years ago were wont to get
as fine roses from him as have ever come
to the Baltimore market. We all remem-
ber his fine La France, and knowing that
chemical fertilizers were scientifically
used in their cultivation, this heightened
our interest in them.
Speaking of basic slag, which Is so ex-
tensively used in Europe, he does not be-
lieve that it is of so much value as is gen-
erally claimed, unless the soil contains
enough natural acids to dissolve the re-
verted phosphoric acid of the slag. The
theory of the European experts, as is
well known, is that the rootlets emit
suflicient acid to make the phosphoric
acid available.
Mr. Macnab has made very satisfac-
tory experiments with sulphurated hy-
drogen as a means to destroy rose and
aster bugs. Properly diluted this insec-
ticide is perfectly harmless, at least to
outdoor roses and herbaceous plants, and
very etiectlve. The sulphurated hydro-
gen Is a by-product, or rather a residual
product, obtained in the manufactuie ot
barytis as a substitute for white lead,
and could no doubt be obtained from
any such factory at a very small price.
It should be boiled in water for 10 min-
utes and then the clear liquid drawn off.
This liquid before it is used has to be
diluted with water to 1 degree B. and
can then be applied with a syringe. It is
perfectly clear and odorless, hence very
convenient to use. Attention must be
paid that it is no stronger than men-
tioned, as otherwise It may spot the
leaves.
To destroy ants Mr. Macnab uses bi-
sulphide of carbon, and finds it as con-
venient as it is eflicacious. A few shallow
holes should be made around the ant-hill
and a teaspoonfulot the chemical poured

The bisulphide ot carbon generates a gee
ivhieh is heavier than the atmosphere
aud therefore permeates the soil in a
downward direction. It is deadly poison
to the auts.
Among the Growers.
The two big rival carnation grow-
ers ot Baltimore. Halliday Bros, and I.
Moss, have their houses in fineshape.aud
both will undoubtedly exhibit largely at
the convention exhibition. .Some time
ago I read in The Exchange that the Red
Bradt was n. g. Mr. Moss thinks the
contrary, and his flowers, from 3V2 to 4
inches across, support his good opiuion.
Mr. Moss grows exceedingly fine Melba
and thinks it the most profitable ot all
his varieties. Mrs. George M. Bradt with
him is perfection. Esteile seems to burst
its calyx too much.
Halliday Bros, have Mrs. Bradt and
Olymplaside by side, audit is a toss-up to
decide which Is the better. Both are per-
fect lu their way. Olyrapla looks some-
what the more aristocratic. Genevieve
Lord has made its mark here and will
be grown as " the" pink. Ethel Crocker
and Mrs. T. W. Lawson are considerably
larger, but not so profitable, at least not
in large quantities in a place like Messrs.
Hallidays', where the flowers are grown
for their own store trade. For large
decorations where a cheaper pink is
wanted Genevieve Lord fills the bill ad-
mirably, while the finer varieties come in
for special center-pieces, vases, etc., and
therefore are not needed in such large
numbers. General Gomez is in fine shape
and quite productive.
At the last club meeting White Cloud
and Flora Hill each had their advocates
as the "best white." Flora Hill f^eenis
to have a tendency to attacks of thrip
and red spider, and White Cloud is rathir
late and a cropper. At present White
Cloud outshines its rival in stem, and
especially in good form ot tlie flower.
Newer white varieties have not been
tried.
As to red varieties Mack Richmond is
the favorite. Grown on a good bench it
comes as fine as G. H. Crane and Is much
more floriferous; in fact, it is considered
the most productive carnation ot all.
Seedling No. 69G ot the Cottage Gar-
dens has tor a couple of years found a
home in Baltimore, and its friends claim
it to be twice as productive as William
Scott. It is a medium sized, soft pink.
Mrs. Frances .Toostisconiing in fine now;
it certainly is superior to William .Scott
in fancy color, size and stem. Mr. Selde-
witz is its chief promoter here.
Personal.
Prof. Johnson, formerly State Ento-
mologist of Maryland, has taken uii his
residence in New York and his editorial
duties with the American Agriculturist.
Hlsdcparture is much regretted liy the til-
lers of the soil, but recently he %vas unani-
mously eiecteti honorary member of the
Gardeners' Club ol Baltimore, and the
members hope that he will often Ami the
opportunity to attend the meetings and
to give his valuable advice.
Henry Fisher is building a new carna-
tion house, 36 X 100. He needs this ad-
ditional space to test his seedlings the
next season.', T. E.

Free Seeds. — A motion to incrense the
appropriation for seed and seed distribu-
tion from $170,000 to $270,000 pasi-ed

to 22.
Ottawa, Can. — .\n order in council has
been passed which provides for there-

European Notes.
The sharp touch of Winter reported
last week has continued until today,
when it appears to be breaking up. As
there have been somefalrly heavy falls of
snow during the week, little harm has
l)een done to vegetation that concerns
the seed dealer. It has, however, pun-
ished the florist and fruiterer somewhat
severely, particularly in soul hern Kurojie,
where iaipe branches of olive and otiier
fruit trees havebeen broken don n l)y the
weight of frozen snow.
The Krench bulbs, including Roman
hyacinths, narcissi and freeslas. can
hiiniiy have escai)ed, and the uiiward
tendency of the i)rlce8 of these «lll be
streugtiiened bv this unusual occurrence.
In the north "the failure of the earlier
kinils of turnip still continues, aud is
causing us some ai].\iety.
The i)rlce lists of agricultural seeds
which are now being Issued contain
some very startling Hj;un s, h hicli enable
us to realize the destructive effects of
drought and blight in the cloblng year of
the nineteenth century.

Size of Herbaceons Plants. — Ernest
Hemming, who recently delivered an
essay on herbaceous plants before the
Philadelphia Florists' Club, thinks it
would be a most desirable thing if the
leading flriushandling such plants would
have some understanding as to what
would be considered a plant. One of the
commonest questions customers ask is,
" What size clumpsdoyou give? Whatdo
you call a plant?"
When pots are used for growing plants
there is no trouble, from 2-inch pots,
3-inch, etc., giving an idea at once of what
to expect. With those field grown a cus-
tomer can judge only from experience
what he will get, whether but one shoot to
n plant or a half dozen. It would be fair
to a customer that the catalogue he re-
ceives should indicate about what the
plants are to be. Most every one would
expect plants purchased to consist of
more than a single eye, except in cases of
rare plants or those which did not In-
crease by stolons or side shoots. Nurs-
erymen of late .years have made their

catalogues much more comprehensive
than before. Besides, height, whether
bushy or not, is given, also the caliper
and whether seedlings, cuttings or trans-
planted stock. Besides being to the ad-
vantage of the customer, it is to the sell-
er's as well, as visits to the nursery are
not really required, and the order goes
by mail, saving a lot of time to both
buyer and seller. .Something like this
Heeds to be douewith herbaceous plants,
which iu some degree would be in line
with Mr. Hemming's suggestion.
Yuccas.— Plants which arequlte hardy
anil yet are well suited for growing in
jiiits are very desirable. There nre a
i[uniberof such among shrubs and ever-
greens, and just nowtberecomes to mind
tlin family of yuccas. The one common
ill all gardens is Yucca filamentosa, and
till- fact that it is common proclaims its
licsirability.
This and its varieties, V.varlegata and
a narrow-leaved form.arecoiisldered har-
dy anywhere iu the .Middle -States. Then
we have the Ilocky Mountain species, Y.
angustifolia, this too being quite hardy.
These sortsare all considered acauiescent,
though Y. augustifolia does lift itself a
little off the ground in the course of time.
There are two arborescent sorts hardy
with us, Y. glorlosa and its variety Y.
recurvifolia. The type gloriosa has broad
stiff leaves, growing in shape much like
the .\merican aloe. It does not form a
smnll tree, as It does in Europe. With us
it flowers when but of two or three
years' growth, and as flowering ends the
progress in the height of the shoot which
bore the flower, it Is not common to see
them over l.S inches to two feet high.
The variety recurvifolia is a mostgraceful
grower, and this one more than any
other makes a graceful pot plant. As its
name indicates, the foliage recurves, and
besides adding to the grace of the plant,
there is not the sudden jumping away
from it which often follows a careless
approach to gloriosa, the leaves being
sharp-poiuted, as are those of the aloe.
Those who grow these, either gloriosa
or recurvifolia, can safely say that the
former has stood all the cold weather
Philadelphia has seen for the past 2(i
years and recurvifolia for four years.
1 think it not unlikely that Yucca nloi-
folia would thrive if stout plants were
tested, loncetried a half dozen two-year
seedlings, covering them with leaves.
All had disappeared Ijy Spring, but from
two of them weak shoots started from
below ground late iu Summer.
Yucca fllamentosa is a great attraction
when in flower, but it often is an eyesore
afterward. As soon as the flowering is
over the spike as well as the shoot that
bore It should be cut away completely.
It will flower no more, that duty devolv-
ing on the shoots which are alwaj'S visi-
ble about the base.
Canoe Birch.— The European white
birch and its variety, the cut-leaved
weeping birch, are not doing as well gen-
erally as they have been. Time was when
these trees were just as sure to thrive as
any kind that could be planted, but such
is not the case now. tJoraplaints come
in that either a fungus or borer is de-
stroying the trees; some claim both are
responsible for it. To add to the list, the
common native white birch, Betula popu-
litolia, is said to suffer as well. Attacks
of this kind come and go, as many exam-
ples in past years demonstrate; let us
hope that this enemy will disappear. So
far as observed the lovely native canoe
birch is exempt, not a case of a loss hav-
ing been reported or observed. This is
the birch of the Eastern States and of
those near the great lakes, where it
makes a tree of good size. Save that it
does not weep, it is preferable to the cut-
leaved weeping sort, and I prefer it to
the European B. alba. Having just as
white a bark, it combines with it good,
shapely growth, large foliage, and all the
desirable qualities of a good shade tree.
So long as neither fungus nor borer in-
terferes with it, we shall not feel the
want of a good white birch, if not the
best of the white ones. •
White birches are sometimes seen sadly
out of place. I have in mind one fine tree
standing near a house, and as the build-
ing Is of a light color, the beauty of the
tree is quite lost. Another one which
seems well in keeping with its surround-
ings springs, as it were, from a mass of
low shrubbery, and is backed by large
oaks, wild cherries and other trees, the
whole forming a most pleasing contrast.
This tree is the canoe birch, which, by
the way, is also called paper birch and
Michigan birch, and it tits the position
exactly, which the weeping one would
not. This, the weeping, does not com-
bine well with upright growers, as a rule,
but is better by itself iu the center of a
group of trees and shrubs not as tail-
growing as it is.
Foreins Shoots of Shrubs. — Few
flowers give more delight than those
which appear Hrst in .Spring. The first
shrub to bloom to make a grand display
is the golden bell forsythia, which is rep-
resented by two or more species, the old
F. viridissima and the newer^in cultiva-
tion— F. Fortune!. When in sheltered
places we get the pretty golden blossoms
often too early, and many a time I have
seen bushes full of open flowers destroyed
by late frosts. ^Vhat I wish to say at
this time is that the shoots of golden
bell are extremely easy to force; in fact,
the operationcSn hardly becalled forcing.
Cut them of whatever length desired (12
to l.S inches is a good length), place thera
in a jar of water in a moderately heated
room, and it will be but a few days be-
fore the buds will be noticed to have in-
creased in size, and no longer than two
weeks will be required to have expanded
flowers- a little more or less time, ac-
cording to the temperature. 1 have in
mind a lady who every year for many
years past has had a tew of these shoots
flowering in her window in early March,
deeming it such a treat to her family to
have this advanced promise of Spring.
The stronger shoots are not usually
the best for the purpose, as they rarely
carry as many flowers as those of more
twiggy growth.
It was my intention to confine my re-
marks to the golden bell, but I will also
name another early flowering shrub
which can be similarly treated and give
the same satisfaction. Thisis the Corne-
lian Cherry, so called — Cornus mas, one
of the European dogwoods. This, too,
has yellow flowers, not so large as those
of the golden bell, but very abuudant, so
much so as to make a nice display. As
with the golden bell, it is impatient tor
.Spring, and the flowers oi>en quickly in-
doors.
Our florists find a moderate demand
for these forced shoots, and, as in other
cases, no doul)t the demand would grow
it an assured supply were in view.

Pan-American.
W. R. Nutting, of Fresno, Cal., has been
arranging with Superintendent Taylor,
of the Horticultural Department, in reler-
ence to the California exhibit. This will
occupy a large space on the west side of
the Horticultural Building. The Mon-
mouth County (N.J.) Horticultural As-
sociation have applied for 400 square
feet of space in the conservauories, which
they propose to keep filled throughout
the season with foliage plants. The
Texas State Horticultural Society, at a
meeting on February 12, decided to send
an exhibit to Buffalo, and a committee
was appointed to arrange plans for col-
lecting horticultural products for this
purpose.
(09) Stocks to be well in bloom for
Memorial Day should be sown at once.
(70) Hydrangea Otaksa.— At what
temperature should Hydrangea otalisa
be kept at night to get the plants in
bloom for Easter? The budsatthisdate,
Februar.v 15, are just beginning to show.
— W. B. P.
— Give the hydrangeas a temperature
of 00 degrees at night until the flowers
begin to show color; then reduce the
temperature graduall.v t® 50 degrees, so
as to thoroughly harden the plants.
(71) Gas Escaping in Greenhouses.
— Has any reader of The Florists' Ex-
change been unfortunateenough to have
illuminating gas escape in the green-
houses, and what are the chances of re-
covering damages for loss of plants aris-
ing from such a cause? The gas was flrst
detected coming through a stone wall
that had been broken to admit of flues
for boiler being placed. There are no
service pipes running from the mains to
the greenhouse, but my idea is that the
gas worked its way through the soft
ground under the frozen surface. — M.
(72) Stubborn Harrisii Lilios. —
Last Fall, about the flrst of September, I
procured my usual number of Easter lily
bulbs, potted them into 5 or 0 inch pots,
placed in a frame and covered with 6
inches of old strawy manure. In about a
month or more the.y were taken into a
cool house and set beneath the benches.
One third of thebulbsstarted and rooted ;
the others kept in a dormant state. I
removed those not started to a cool cel-
lar; they are still not rooted. I shook
them out of the pots, repotted them in
new soil and placed them back in a cool
house in a temperature of 45 degrees
night. What is the trouble? Is it the
fault of the bulbs or the treatment? —
P. R.
— The failure of the bulbs to start is no
doubt due to the bulbs themselves, and
not to the treatment to which they have
been subjected. Just what the troubleis
we are unable to say. It frequently hap-
pens that a few bulbs will fail to make
growth, but to have a percentage of one-
third act in that way would justify an
explanation from the dealer.
(7.^) Trouble with Carnations.—
The leaves of the carnations that were
sent appear to have been taken from the
base of the plant. If such is the case, all
that need be done is to pull away all
affected leaves, as they are the oldest on
the plants and have died a natural death.
I send .vou under separate cover some
blooms of lAzzie McGowan carnations,
which seem to come imperfect, as though
they were old flowers. In mostevery In-
stance the plants that produce such
flowers look perfectly healthy. A mulch
of rotted cow manure was api)lled in No-
vember, and about a month ago I gave
the soil a good sprinkling of lime. I
don't mean that all the flowers are like
those sent, but about 15 or 20 per cent,
of them.
They are in a modern house. I keep
them at 55 to 00 degrees night and GO
to 05 degrees in the daytime. A plant
may have a poor flower and also a good
one at the same time. Would you advise
changing the stock ? In the Fall, Novem-
berand December, I had ver.v flue flowers,
most of them measuring 2iA or 3 inches.
Does Lizzie McGowan need mulching at
all?— D. H.C.
—The carnation flowers have been ar-
rested In their development through
some local cause or other. It will not
be necessary to change the stock, seeing
that the plants remain in a perfectly
healthy condition. As the days become
longer, more ventilation can be given
and the trouble will disappear. We have
seen carnations similarly affected by
being syringed during the latter part of
the day, causing the moisture to remain
on the flower buds all night; also by
being overfed with artificial manure.
Just what was the cause in the present
instance is hard to tell — probably too
much moisture in the house through the
night.
(74) Sample Violet Blooms. — I have
sent you two dozen of Imperial violet
flowers and would like to know if there
is any better flowers coming into New
York.
— The violets received were certainly
very fine and areaway abovetheaverage
of the ordinary violets that come to New
York markets.
There is, however, a special grade of
flowers received In this market which
are quite as good as the sample sent us,
but these are never very plentiful.

Again this has proven the most prolific and profitable
variety we ever grew, giving ub so far fully 75 per cent,
more bloom than Ethel Crocker and eight other varl-
eties under the same conditions. On some 3000 plants
not a single split calyx, where Crocker and some other
have split badly. Flowers as large as Scott, ve^y fra-
grant; a fine shade of light rose-pink. After five years'

American Carnation Society,
TENTH ANNUAL MEETING,
Baltimore, Md., February 21 and 22, 1901.
The Monumental City was the scene
ot the American Carnation Society's
labors for the opening year of the new
century and the tenth year of the so-
ciety's existence. The proceedings
opened in Lehmann's Hall on Thursday
forenoon, February 21, under the most
. favorable auspices, including- bright,
sunshiny weather and a large attend-
ance from all points of the compass,
even as far west as Colorado. The ex-
hibition also equaled, if it did not
eclipse, all former efforts, and the high
standard reached in the carnation cul-
ture of to-day was demonstrated in its
utmost perfection.
A preliminary meeting was held about
noon Thursday for the election of
judges. President Halliday in the chair.
The following are the gentlemen elected
as judges: For the seedling classes, Pat-
rick O'Mara, William Scott, William
Nicholson; general classes, S. J. Reuter,
M. A. Patten. Charles H. Allen.
Resolutions to the Judg:es.
The following set ot resolutions to
judges in the seedling classes were sub-
mitted by the committee and accepted:
"All judging in these classes shall be
by comparison with existing varieties
only.
"Color (25 points). The variety under
judgment shall be compared with the
best variety of its color extant and be
awarded points proportionate to its
color value.
"Size (20 points). The variety shall
be compared with the largest existing
variety, regardless of color, and be
awarded points proportionate to its
size.
"Stem (20 points). The strength of
the stem should be sufBcient to carry
the flower erect, and the length should
be sufRcient to display the flower to the
best advantage. It is desirable that a
stem should be provided with numer-
ous and broad leaflets, as giving better
effect when the flowers are arranged in
bunches. The variety should be com-
pared with that existing variety which
best combines these requirements.
"Form (15 points). Comparison shall
be had with such existing variety as
shall show the best form. Detective
form, due to bursted calyxes, shall be
considered under this head.
"Substance (10 points). Comparison
shall be made with the exisUng variety
having the greatest substance.
Calyx (5 points). The standard of
comparison shall be that variety extant
having a calyx which most securely
and regularly supports the petals and.
from its general characteristics, shows
the least liabillity to burst.
"Fragrance (5 points). Comparison
shall be had with the most fragrant
variety extant.
"Explanatory.— In case any new va-
riety under consideration shall be equal
to or exceed the standard in any of the
foregoing comparisons, it shall be given
the full number of points allowed to
the attribute in question. If the variety
under judgment shall show in its attri-
butes a marked departure from exist-
ing types and it, in the opinion of the
judges, such departure from existing
types shall give the variety unusual and
exceptional merit value, the judges
shall be authorized to award a certifi-
cate on the ground of 'novelty,' al-
though the variety in question may not,
under the regular scale, score points
enough to entitle it to such award. It
is not contemplated that such action
will be taken by the judges save in ex-
ceptional cases and, when taken, their
report shall specify the number of
points scored under the regular scale
and shall give a full explanation of the
reasons for such extraordinary award."
All awards made by the judges shall
be subject to the approval of the So-
ciety. -'^11 certificate awards shall give
the full number of points scored by
each variety under each separate head-
ing.
Richard Vincent, Jr., and E. G. Gil-
lett acted as tellers.
A luncheon was served to the dele-
gates on the platform of the Exhibition
Hall, and President Halliday an-
nounced that a banquet would be given
Friday evening at 8.30.
Mayor'd Speech.
Mayor Hayes, ot Baltimore, formal-
ly opened the exhibition at 4 o'clock,
the hall being then crowded with visi-
tors. He said: It gives me great
pleasure to welcome the American Car-
nation Society to Baltimore. We ot
Baltimore think, and quite rightly, that
we have a great city here. One of the
distinct characteristics of our great
city is that we love to have strangers
in the midst of us. Baltimore is a
hospitable city, and I really think, if I
know the people, and I think I do,
there is nothing they enjoy more than
the extending of that hospitality to the
stranger within our gates. Among the
many other things that are character-
istic of our people is that you cannot
find a Baltimorean who does not love
and enjoy flowers. We highly appre-
ciate the honor your society has done
us in selecting Baltimore for your an-
nual meeting. I desire to say to the
members that they want to enjoy Bal-
timore while they are here. We have a
city that is attractive to visitors. We
have. I think, one of the prettiest parks
in the world. Our park is a place
where is presented the prettiest dis-
play that it is possible to enjoy, and
where you can see most beautiful com-
binations of flowers.
Our people are distinctly a home peo-
ple: they live in their own homes and
delight in extending their hospitality
to the stranger who comes in our
midst. I may also say to the members
of this Society, if they have not al-
ready discovered the fact, that we Bal-
timoreans think we have in this city
the prettiest women that ever lived
(Applause and merriment). To the
gentleman of the Carnation Society I
want, as the Mayor, to extend to you
the freedom of the city; I want you
to enjoy the beauties ot our city while
you are here. I hope, also, you will
call upon the Mayor to render you any
service you desire. I want you to feel
during your stay that you are welcome.
I want you to understand that you
have the genuine freedom ot Baltimore
(Applause).
Responses.
William Fraser responded on behalf
of the Gardeners' Club, of Baltimore.
He spoke of the work of the Carnation
Society and of the great services ren-
dered to growers by the safeguarding
of their Interests in the matter of dis-
semination ot varieties. He thanked
the lady patronesses for their kindly
support, and described the ladies as the
flower ot womanhood — woman divine.
(Applause),
Robert Oaig replied on behalf of the
American Carnation Society. After
thanking the Mayor and the Garden-
ers' Club for their kindly welcome, he
said: "His Honor has remarked that
it was a matter ot pride to the citi-
zens of Baltimore that it was a city
of homes. Its reputation in that di-
rection is well known. I may say that
I can think of nothing that would
bring more brightness and happiness
into a home than a bunch of carna-
tions placed on the table." Mr, Craig
then praised the work of the society,
and referred to the great value of its
distributed literature. He added: "I
may say right here that the society
is anxious to obtain amateur mem-
bers. I hope that some of you who
love the carnation will join the society,
in order that you may thereby get the
benefits ot its literature. I feel very
happy to represent the society in this
capacity. We have all heard often of
Baltimore hospitality; we have already
had examples of your open-hearted-
ness. and can corroborate all that your
Honor has said. You will notice that
both of the previous speakers thought
it necessary to refer to the beautiful
women of Baltimore. They need not
have done that. We all know your
women are beautiful, and they only, in
the way of beauty, can supersede the
carnation." (Loud applause.)
Thursday Evening.
Professor Albert F. Woods delivered
his illustrated lecture in the evening,
the meeting hall being filled. (See
pages 188 and 189 ot this issue.) A very
lengthy discussion took place on the
cause of stem rot and other diseases
of the carnation. The use of lime was
suggested as a preventive, to some ex-
tent, of stem rot, also rotation of
crops, never growing the plants in the
same fields in succession. Mr. Woods
gave a very lucid explanation of the
effects of diseases caused by the at-
tacks of insects. The discussion was
participated in by Messrs. Craig, Dil-
lon, Ward, May, Esler and Crabb, and
will appear in next week's issue. The
lecturer was awarded a hearty vote of
thanks.
Friday's Proceedings.
The Friday morning session opened at
10:30 o'cloclj. President IJalliday read
his address to a iair attendance.
President's Address.
The wonderful progress made In late
years, the rapid strides to popular favor
made by the carnation, at whose shrine
we are worshiping to-day, is not a
craze, for as long as flowers exist, this
beautiful creation of the old-fashioned
pink will have its place in the heart of
every flower lover, and deservedly so.
That stateof perfection at which it has
already arriyed should make every
grower, every introducer of a new va-
riety feel a pardonable personal pride,
for not only has his work been well done,
but It is still growing, and there is yet a
wide field in which to work.
When we stop to think of the possibili-
ties wrapped up in this symphony ot
loveliness, it is with a keen delight and
all-absorbing interest that we walk into
tlie seedling house in the morning and
note the development of the opening
flower, whose label is only marked with
the hieroglyphics of the hybridizer. With
all its trials and disappointments, it is
still fascinating beyond compare to the
true carnationist.
CJan you tell me of a flower that re-
sponds so kindly to generous treatment?
(From a grower's standpoint it le a
Ihreadwinner when properly handled.)
Can you mention a flower that will give
as much pleasure to your customer, that
will keep the same length of time in
water when cut, that has the diversity
of color, or can fill a room with such a
pleasing spicy odor, that Insidious per-
fume known to the carnation alone — can
you name a flower its equal at the same
price ?
It has been our privilege this season to
arrange several decorations made up of
nothing but carnations, with no other
foliage than that of their own graceful
feathery green, and I cannot remember a
more pleasing effect. From the beautiful
rose shade ot the Genevieve Lord to the
dark crimson maroon of the General
Gomez, each with its accompanying green
foliage, we have produced some exceed-
ingly attractive table effects. Ethel
Crocker in all her majesty has adorned
the dinner table of many of old Mary-
land's most prominent homes, and so in
our own small way we can note, and
with much pleasure, the growing demand
of this most popular flower.
.Some years ago we stopped growing
roses and started in to push the carna-
tion, thinking it was to our best interests
to buy our roses and if possible grow all
the carnations sold over our counters.
Our friends thought at the time that we
were making a very foolish move, but
time has proved its wisdom; bouse after
house we planted, until our whole plant
is now devoted to carnations alone for
cut flowers only, consequently, we are
now in a position to guarantee our cus-
tomers good fresh cut flowers, and flow-
ers that will not grow tired and sleepy
in three or four hours.
What a pleasure It is to have the society
leader come back to you and say that
" her ten dozen Gomez lasted six or seven
days, and she even then hated to throw
them away," so let me ask you growers,
is it not much to your advantage to
have the retail customers receive good
strong, fresh stuff and flowers that will
keep several days? Give your store man
a chance, send him your flowers direct,
don't let the blooms hang so long for the
sake of size that they are almost past
when you put lliem in the shipping box;
remember that good flowers will sell
themselves.
Like my distinguished friend, Mr. Wil-
liam P. Craig, and I quote him when I
say that " our judges and our growers
do not pay enough attention to the last-
ing and keeping qualities of the carna-
tion, for it is most essential to your cus-
tomer and your store man," then throw
out your poor keepers, for they will not
increase your business, uor will they
boom the carnation.
I hear the cry from all over the country
—we are badly in need ot a good white—
and I sincerely hope that this exhibition
will bring out one of sterling merit. Give
us a Flora Hill flower on a White Cloud
stem, and the flowering qualities of a
William Scott; we need it badly.
I have not had the pleasure of seeing
Norway, but I must say one word about
our Maryland growers, of whom I am
very proud and justly so, especially of
our representatives from Alleghany, men
who have helped push the divine flower
up the ladder of fame with an untiring
energy and perseverance wortby of the
great State that they represent; we be-
lieve that they have introduced seedlings
worthy to carry their banner the world
over and find a place in every collection.
Weherein Marylandowetoourworthy
vice-president the fact ot our being the
banner State in regard to membership;
his magnetic influence and honest opin-
ions have won many over to the shrine
of the carnation.
In conclusion, I will ask your kind in-
dulgence. 1 am a green one in the chair,
and it I have made mistakes, I trust you
will overlook them. It is not the fault
ot the heart, but of the head.
Letter from Rose Society.
A letter was read from Secretary
Leonard Barron, of the American Rose
Society, relative to a jointmeetmg of the
Carnation Society with that association.
The letter contained the following reso-
lution adopted by the ExecutlveCommit-
tee of the Rose Society:
" Owing to the date of the rose show
being fixed by the constitution, the Ex-
ecutive Committee is powerless to act In
the matter unless the Carnation Society
could arrange to have its meeting coin-
cident with that of the Rose Society, but
the committee feels that a further confer-
ence would be desirable.
" The Executive Committee of the Rose
Society would moreover be much pleased
to afford exhibition space at its forth-
coming show, March I'J, 20, and 21, for
any display of carnations that any mem-
ber of the Carnation Society might be
desirous to make."
This matter was referred to the com-
mittee already having it in hand, which
committee was continued for another
year.
Secretary Herr here read his report:
Secretary's Report.
Your secretary reports having issued
tbe proceedings of the meeting held in
Buffalo, N. Y., in due time, and having
mailed the same to all members of the
society not in arrears for dues.
"Through our stenographer not being
acquainted with floral terms the report
had to undergo numerous changes, and
the thanks of the secretary and the so-
ciety are due to Mr. Alexander Wallace
and" Mr. Richard Wittersttetter for assist-
ance in making these changes.
Through an oversight no mention was
made in last year's report of the very
kind donation made toward our perma-
nent fund bv each of the trade papers, as
follows: The American Florist. $30;
The Florists' Exchange, $25; The Flo-
rists' Review, $15. The American Florist
has made an additional donation of $10
for the current year.
Quite a number of the Individual mem-
bers of the society have contributed
toward this fund, all of which has been
properly credited to their account. The
thanks of the society are, however, due
them for their generosit.y, and also to
those gentlemen who aid the societ.v b.y
their advertisements In the premium list.
The rule adopted at the last meeting
compelling all entries to be in the hands
of the secretary four days before the
meeting has been of immeasurable ad-
vantage, and will, I hope, be made a
standing rule.
All circular matter sent out by the so-
ciety Is mailed to every member, and if
not promptly received, a postal card in-
quiry will bring a second copy.
I Both membership and registration
have steadily increased, and from your
secretary's point of view we start the
new ceatury very auspiciously.

The report of the judges was then
read by the secretary.
Marking Exhibits.
Some of the standard varieties win-
ning prizes not having been labeled, a
motion was carried that exhibitors be
furnished with uniform printed iabels
bearing the names of the varieties, and
that attachment of such labels be impera-
tive.
Those exhibitors showing novelties
will also be desired to have the names of
such typewritten or printed, so as to in-
sure greater legibility.
('ertiticates of merit having been recom-
mended by the judges to several new
roses, Mr. Ward moved that in the event
of the awardiugof suchcertiflcates being
outside the purview of the Caruation So-
ciety, the secretary be instructed to for-
ward the recommendation of the judges
to the American Hose Society, as show-
ing the good will these judges have
t ward tlie roses in question in thus tes-
tifying to the qualities of the flowers.
Treasurer's Report.
The treasurer's report showed a
credit balance of $893.11.
Next Place of Aleeting:.
Indianapolis was chosen as the
next place of meeting. Fred Dorner, Jr.,
made a neat speech, assuring the visitors
a good time and promising a superior
exhibition.
A letter was read from A. H. Langjahr,
inviting the society to meet in Brooljlyn
in 1!I02, stating that the meeting and ex-
hibition would have the support of the
Brooklyn Institute of .Sciences and Arts.
Change in Prizes.
A motion was carried that the
gold, silver and bronze medals be award-
ed for best 100 blooms, second best 100
blooms, and third best 100 blooms, re-
spectively, instead of being given for sep-
arate and distinct exhibits as now.
Incorporation of the Society.
Mr. Ward announced that it was
his intention to remember the S. A. F.
and the Carnation Society in some sub-
stantial manner in his will, either tjy be-
quest or through the medium of a life in-
surance policy, and moved that the so-
ciety take steps to become an incorpo-
rated body, so as to meet all legal re-
quirements in the matter. Tliis was
agreed to, and a committee will be ap-
pointed to further the scheme. Mr.
Ward's announcement was loudly ap-
plauded.
The secretary was instructed to con-
suit with the Traffic Association, looking
to securing reduced railroad rates for
next year's meeting. All indications
point to a large assembly at that time,
probably not less than 200.
New Officers.
The following were nominated for
office: President, William G. Bertermann,
Indianapolis; vice-president, Fred
Lemon, liichmond, Ind.; secretary, Al-
bert M. Herr; treasurer, Fred Dorner,
Jr. Nominating speeches made by E. G.
Gillett and John N. May.
Discussion on Mr. Fisher's Paper.
Peter Fisher read his paper on hy-
bridization. (Printed in full on pages
189-190.
Some discussion took place as to the
time at which crossing should be done.
L. E. Marquisee favored February or
March, in preference to October, named
by the essayist.
Mr. Fisher stated that early crossing
allowed of early ripening of seed and
securing of timely sowing, so that three-
fourths of the plants could be seen in
bloom before frost came; by later sow-
ing there was danger of losing a goodly
number of plants.
Mr. Ward corroborated Mr. Fisher,
and said he was growing iiis seedlings in
blocks of one color, crossing the same
colors witli a view to obtaining fixity in
the offspring, except where he wished to
change the habit. Heconsidered Maceo's
habit a good one, and was breeding it
into his new varieties.
R. WitterstiEtter thought about this
time of the year the best to do the cross-
ing. He also was breeding for color from
plants of the desired shade having neces-
sary qualities of constitution, habit, etc.
Such crossings had reproduced the color
of parents with very few exceptions.
Adonis came from a strain of scarlets
from four or five generations back.
Wm. Fisher believed by following out
that system fewer mixed colors would be
the result.
A vote of thanks was tendered Mr.
Fisher for Ills paper.
Friday Afternoon.
The afternoon session opened at 2:45.
JElection.
The officers nominated in the morn-
ing were elected.
Talb on Subwateriug.
J.L.Dillon gave a detailed account
of his sub-watering system as conducted
on solid beds. The cost of construction
he estimated at .30 cents per foot. Mr.
Dillon stated that he gets better plants
from this plan and twenty-five per cent,
more flowers than by surface watering.
He will add one more house for sub-irri-
gation purposes.
C. W. Ward was not in oosition to
recommend sub-irrigation to the general
florist; more care had to be exercised in
watering and also in watching the plants.
Oneadvantage was in obtaining an even
distribution of heat. Some varieties
could not be grown under the system
mentioned, particularly White Cloud and
Daybreak, but he could grow Bradt
very much better than by surface water-
ing. He did not believe the plan would
suit every locality, and was not prepared
to indorse it without reservation.
Sending Out New Varieties.
The question was asked whether it
would not be to the mutual interest of in-
troducer and buyer to have each variety
shipped from the introducer direct, and
whether March I was not too lateadate
to send out novelties. Mr. Witterstietter
believed all orders sent totheintroducers
would be filled while stock lasted. Mr.
Ward jocularly remarked if it were pos-
sible to change the constitution of the
carnation plant so that it could be
grown and put out sooner, the grower
would gladly give earlier distribution.
A committee, consisting of William
Scott, C. W. Ward, and E. G. Hill, was
appointed to revise the constitution and
by-laws looking toward incorporation,
and the provision of aciause covering life
membership. Thelatterreceived a strong
indorsement from W. J. Stewart, who
said every society should adopt it and
aim to hold real estate somewhere that
would appreciate in value.
John W.Garrett, of Baltimore, donated
$50 to be used for such premium as the
society may see fit; the gentleman re-
ceived a vote of thanks therefor.
A motion to purchase a set of vases, to
be owned by the society, suitable for
holding various exhibits, was carried.
These vases will be in charge of the secre-
tary and will be shipped to the meeting
place annually. A subscription was
taken up for the sinking fund, and in
amounts ranging from $5 to $100,
reached the sum of nearly $1,200. This
fund will be invested and interest accru-
ing used for premiums.
A rising vote of thanks was passed to
the Baltimore Gardeners' Club for hospi-
talities extended.
On motion of Eugene Dailledouze, the
convention adjourned at 4:20 p. m., to
meet in Indianapolis in 1002.
Friday Evening- Banquet.
For the banquet on Friday evening
a vei-y unique menu card has been pre-
pared.. It is graced with a picture of
a young boy, au naturel, surrounded
by carnations. The illustration is from
life, and the young fellow is the three-
year-old son of Mr. E. A. Seldewitz.
In.'jtead of the orthodox buttonhole
bouquet, a natural oyster bed, tied with
orange and Ijlack ribbons (Maryland's
colors) were substituted.
The toasts were: "Baltimore," re-
-sponded to by His Honor, Mayor
Thomas Hayes; "The Carnation," Rob-
ert Craig; "The Public,' Hon. Thos.
Clendennin, president Park Board;
"The Ladles," Wm. Christie; "The Ri-
vals," John N. May; "Telling Others
How," AVm. Scott; "A Gardener," Wm.
R. Smith; "The Trade Press," Wm. B.
Sands; "Our Troubles," L. E. Mar-
quisee; "Our Guiests," Robert Graham,
A small sealed envelope, with the
following in.scription: "Do not open
until tolti; man has no curiosity, " was
fastened to the back of the menu card.
Its contents was the vaudeville pro-
gramme, which amused the assembly
after the toasts had been responded to.
Chrysantliemum Society Meeting'.
At a meeting of the Chrysanthemum
Society of America it was decided that
the society's cup will again be ])ut up
for best 10 l)loonis of any variety, to be
competed for at the .\ew York show this
fall- John N. May announced a prize of
$100, to be awarded under the society's
auspices, and A. Herriugton, John N.
May and Patrick O'Marawereappolnted
a committee to make arrangements with
the New York Florists' Club as to the
nature of the competition.
Several new members joined the Chrys-
anthemum Society.
The Exhibition.
If the excellence of the flowers is a
criterion, the present show is a grand
success, and the arrangement of the
exhibits in groups, according to the
competitive classes, afforded the visi-
tors the long looked for opportunity of
comparing the rival varieties. More-
over, the hall, nicely filled and with a
few groups of foliage plants, presented
a gay and pleasing appearance.
The Mrs. Lawson Carnation was no
doubt the most eagerly looked for, and
it has made a splendid impression.
Such vases as were shown by Robert
Craig & Son, Peter Fisher, Chicago
Carnation Co. and others are the t>est
recommendation any carnation could
have.
Prosperity was new to the majority
of Baltimoreans. It is a strikingly fine
flower.
Witterstaetter, Sedamsville, Ohio,
showed a fine vase of Inquirer. If of
good growing habit, it should easily
become a favorite.
Hugh Graham's Mrs. Alex. Van
Rensselaer is an exceptionally bold
flower of I>aybreak pink, with im-
mense stems, fine form and very
double.
The Cottage Gardens, Queens, N. T.,
sent a beautiful lot of their newer va-
rieties. Roosevelt is a grand acqui-
sition for crimson; Golden Beauty, a
pansy yellow of great size and very
pretty sulphur color, with fine carmine
penciling; Viola Allen No. 1, ivory
white, with fine streaks of cerise, is a
%Yinning flov/er, large and beautifully
formed. Their "Novelty," a fancy yel-
low, and Governor Bliss, a bright scar-
let, were much admired, as was Morn-
ing Glory, one of the flnest light pinks.
John H. May, Summit, N. J., sent a
grand lot of Olympia and of his No.
2,209, a very beautiful soft pink seed-
ling.
Dailledouze Bros., Flatbush, N. T.,
showed, besides their Prosperity, a
very promising blush seedling of great
size and good form.
The Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet,
111., had a very interesting table. Their
flowers arrived a trifle fatigued, but
soon recovered. Their Gold Nugget is
a fine example of good cutivation;
Mrs. Higinbotham, of Daybreak pink.
is above medium size, with good
stems; Mrs. J. J. Shedd, a pretty
briglit scarlet, with exceptionally
strong and stiff stems; Mrs. Potter
Palmer made a good impression among
the best of red varieties.
L. E. Marquisee. Syracuse, N. T., ex-
hibited a grand vase of The Marquis.
It is an unique flower when in such
perfection.
H. Weber & Sons, Oakland, Md.,
showed their new white Norway in
grand form; in size and Stem it is ex-
cellent. Egypt was a very strong com-
petitor in the crimson class, and de-
seiwes special mention for good stem,
even among the elite. Their Genevieve
Lord could not have been excelled; the
only complaint against it, that the
color is not quite clear, was certainly
disproved by the fine lot of evenly soft
pink flowers.
Peter Fisher, Ellis, Mass., showed
his No. 130, a fine seedling white, with
streaks of carmine, and No. 170, a
striking flower of Daybreak color and
of largest size.
.M. A. Patten, Tewkesbury, Mass.,
sent in a fine lot of Lawson and Mar-
quis, both remarkable for dark rich
color.
Goethe, exhibited by Chris. Besold, is
among the best of the light pinks.
Several vases of Bradt were sent in,
and all of the very first quality, ex-
cepting, perhaps, the stem, which was
not always above reproach. Bon
Homme Richard is a very pretty white
with serrated petals and of good, sym-
metrical form.
L. Witterstaetter exhibited a mag-
nificent dark glowing red variety
called Adonis, a very large flower with
perfect stem; his Glacier and Estelle
were also in prime condition.
Among the aspirants for certificate
were Cressbrook, a fine dark pink from
C. Warburton, Pall River, Mass.. and
two more, unlabeled, from John Kuhn,
Philadelphia, and N. D. Pierce, Nor-
wood. R. I.
Of the Baltimore growers. Halllday
Bros, showed very fine Gold Nugget,
Maceo, Ethel Crocker in perfection.
White Cloud and their new red Mack
Richmond.
Isaac Moss had a magnificent vase
of Melba, his favorite money maker,
and very large red Bradt.
Lehr Bros, staged Crane and White
Cloud, very pretty.
Among the seedlings competing for
the Douglas prize were John Cook's
fine white variety, of grand size, but
somewhat deficient in stem.
Charles Akehurst & Son, White
Marsh, Md.. entered their new violet
crimson seedling, a variety which is
well liked in Baltimore. Form and
stem are very good.
A few very fine American Beauties
were shown. Jos. Heacock, Wyncote.
Pa., staged a gigantic vase of fifty
specimens in grand shape.
Myers & Samtman, Philadelphia,
showed another fine lot. the latter
fully equal to those shown at New
York which carried away the honors
there.
John Cook, Baltimore, exhibited his
handsome Baltimore rose and a vase
of unnamed varieties.
W. Price, gardener to Mrs. Garret,
had a fine group of Brides and Brides-
maids.
The Kift vase-holder was never
shown to better advantage than in the
min'or decoration which was entered
for the Society Cup.
A model of Hippard's new green-
house gutter was on exhibition, and
very favorably commented on.
S. S. Pennoek had a fine layout of
new things in ribbons, silks, cards,
etc., as ever up to date.
City Park Gardener Seybold exhibit-
ed quite a unique piece of carpet-bed-
ding, made up with rooted cutting;
the design represented the shield and
coat of arms of Maryland, surmounted
by crown and eagle, with inscription
of "Welcome to the A. C. S."
After 4 P. M. the show was opened
to the public, who gratefully and in
large numbers accepted the invitation
of the society.
A very useful feature, the happy
thought of SecretaiT Herr, was print-
ing all names of members on a folder,
together with number, and the issu-
ance of a badge to correspond. This
was very highly spoken of.
S. A. Baur, owing to miscalculation of
time of meeting, cut Elma too soon, but
flowers on hand showed the fin© color
and stem of the variety before going to
sleep.
E. S. Peterson, Cincinnati, had a fine
exhibit of Adiantum Farleyense.
Fred Dorner & Sons, La Fayette, Ind.,
exhibited Lorna, which arrived late.
Wm. H. Wagner, Green Spring Gar-
dens, Philadelphia, and Henry Elchholz,
Waynesboro, Pa., each showed a vase
of seedlings, not for competition.
The flowers on Friday showed the
effects of the large crowd, a good many
closing up.

BRIEFS FOR BUSY FLORISTS.
Caladium Esculentum.— Bulbs of these
should be put where they will start to
grow. The mosteonyenient method is to
place them In shallow boxes, about
three inches deep, first putting rough
soil in the bottom. Cover the bulbs with
soli, then place theboxes where they will
receive a good bottom heat. Keep the
soil continually moist and the plants will
soon startinto growth. Before the roots
become matted together in the box, the
bulbs must be taken out, potted up sepa-
rately and placed on the greenhouse
bench, where they can get plenty of light;
and if potted again when necessary, they
will make good strong plants by the time
they are to be planted in the garden.
DiCENTRA Spectabilib. — That old-fash-
ioned plant bleeding heart (Dicentra
spectabiiis) seems to be coming back
into favor for forcing purposes. Where
it can be used for home trade it is all
right, but its tender stems will always
make it a very poor subject for shipping
purposes. Where it can be grown and
disposed of locally, however, it is worth
growing, and as it forces easily and
quickly, can be made very profitable.
The growth is just about starting on
those roots that were potted and kept
under the bench, and the plants now
need to be given a place near the glass,
in a temperature of 58 or 60 degrees at
night. They must not be allowed to get
dry at the roots. Later, say in two
weeks from now, a little weak liquid ma-
nure should be given them occasionally,
unless they have been potted in good rich
compost, in which case feeding will be
unnecessary.
Alteknanthera are beginning to
make good growth, and cuttings should
be taken as soon as possible to have
young plantsof sufflcientsize for bedding
purposes in the Spring. When taking the
cuttings put them where there is a good
bottom heat it you would have them
root satisfactorily. When growing them
on later, try to rig up a hot bed covered
with sash for the young plants. They
will make better stock grown in that
way than can be had from any other
method.
Double sweet alyssum Is much more
satisfactory from cuttings than it is from
seed. This is about the time that the
principal batch of cuttings should be
taken.
Geraniums.— If it is necessary to still
further increase the stock of these plants,
go over them and take all available cut-
tings. If the stock is ample it will be
well to pinch outthe headsolsuch plants
as are becoming leggy. If it is desired to
have a few plants ready for very early
sales, select the most likely ones and pot
them along. Put them on a bench by
themselves and give them a little extra
care as regards heat and light.
Lilies to be just right for Easter
should be beginning to show their buds
this week. Fumigate often to keep away
the aphis, and if many diseased plants
show put them to one side. There is no
use in allowing them to occupy valuable
space any longer than is necessary. There
seem to be other troubles among the lilies
this year than the well-known disease,
aud these among Lilium iongiflorum. We
shall probably be able later to discover
just what the cause is. So far we only
know the effect. A large percentage of
the plants grow toaboutlO or 12 inches
in height, then cease growing altogether,
and no amount of coaxing will start
them again, and this behavior is the
source of much comment. If some radi-
cal change be not effected by bulb grow-
ers, both in Bermuda and Japan the cul-
ture of these lilies will be very much cur-
tailed in the near future.
Gouverneur, N. Y.
Isaac M. Brainard met with a distress-
ing accident on Saturday afternoon,
February 9. He was crossing the street
when he was run into by a passing team
and knocked down, fracturing one bone
of the leg just above the ankle. His age
makes such an accident all the more
painful and difficult to cure. He is doing
well at this time.

NOTES BY THE m
"'Haktfobd, Conn. — George S. Osborn
takes the premium for earnationB in tbe
entire Nutmeg State. Mrs. George ,M.
Bradt, G. H. Crane, aud The Marquis are
the envy of his less fortunate rivals —
blooms that measure 3% inches across
and cropping right along.
John Coombs takes thelead v^itb Bride
and Bridesmaid roses, but as he thinks
he hasnot theideal housesfor carnations
he will erect some next Summer, and see
if he cannot have crops when others are
out — a problem many would like to solve
just now, for with all the additional
glass going up flowers are just as scarce
at certain seasons as heretofore.
New Haven, Conn.— S. H. .Moore was
making up some tasty designs at time uf
my visit in which chiffon was used to ad-
vantage, especially in pieces for Infants.
It Is so airy and gauze-like.
Smith T. Bradley thinks highly of Es-
telle carnation; he cannot get too many
to please his patrons. He reports a
good season.
John Doughty is ensconsed in his new
place on the Boulevard. While growing
vegetables chiefly this season, owing to
his bouses not being ready until very late,
hels workiug up a stock for a retail busi-
ness. -Next season will see him in full
swing. Mr. Doughty met with an acci-
dent while building which has troubled
him quite a little. A big piece of lumber
fell upon one loot, severely bruising it.
As he facetiously remarked, had the price
fallen at same time the pain would have
been allayed somewhat.
Springfield, Mass.— Mark Aitken re-
ports a flourishing business and was
never better satisfied with the crops pro-
duced right at home. Tidal Wave and
Outcast are two of his most profitable
carnations.
Schlatter & Son usually have some of
the fluest mignonette seen in this section.
J. D. Robinson talks of increasing his
plant.
HoLYOKE, Mass.— " Every thing oft crop;
cannot account forit," was the comment
of E. H.Howland. Even Harry Sinclair's
grand seedling is oft, but he has a chrys-
anthemum that will astonish the natives
next season— a yellow Timothy Eaton.
Joseph Beach has fixed up a sung place
at South Hadley Falls. He is branching
out extensively in the nursery line.
Northampton, Mass. — H. W. Field has
had tine success this season; the new
houses are just the thing. He has plans
to add during tbe ensuing Summer.
W. M.
Delevan, Wis.— The Phoenix Nursery
and Floral Co. has been incorporated
with a capital stock of $20,000. It is
organized for the object of acquiring the
old-established nursery of F. K. Phcenix
& Co. on 33 acres, and consolidating it
with the floral business formerly the Wil-
liams Bay Floral Co. in connection with
the store and conservatory on Walworth
Avenue.
Galesburg, III.— H. F. Drury has
formed a parlinership with E. E. Gesler.
Their intention is to almost double the
present plant within tbe next tew
months.
Los Anoeles, Cal.— The Ocean Park
Floral Company has been incorporated
with a capital stock of $2.'5,000, divided
into $100 shares, of which amouut $0,-
000 has been subscribed. The directors
are E. J. Vawter, F. M. Leavitt, J. C.
Vawter, Isabelle L. Vawter, all of Santa
Monica, and E. J. Vawter, Jr., Los
Angeles.

The Principles of Vegetable Gar-
dening by Professor L. H. Bailey, Pub-
lishers, Tbe Macmillan Company, 66
Fifth Avenue, New york. Price $1.25-
This book is designed to be of service
both to the man who practices vegetable
gardening, or olericulture, tor the pur-
pose of supplying his own table only;
and also the individual who reaches out
to the more extensive work of truck
farming. The author has compiled and
presented in condensed form a wonderful
amount of interesting and instructive in-
formation on the subject, combined with
his own opinions on many of the topics
dealt with. Not the least valuable por-
tion of the work is the inventory of
books, bulletins, etc., treating on vege-
table gardening subjects, to which some
24 pages are devoted. Many of these
writings have been drawn from, and the
best thought on the subject furnished the
reader.
The book can be obtained, at the price
named, $1.25, through the publishers of
The Florists' Exchange.

white Golden Gate rose, which was
recommended a Certificate of Merit.
John N. May exhibited a new rose,
Mrs. Oliver Ames; also recommended
a Certificate of Merit.
Mrs. T. Harrison Garrett (W. C.
Price, gardener) made an exhibit of
roses which was especially commended.
John Cook's exhibit of carnation and
seedling roses was awarded Special

A Certificate of Merit was recom-
mended for the new rose Baltimore,
exhibited by John Cook, the judges
saying it would make a valuable ad-
dition to our list of roses.
Special Mention was awarded palms
from Mrs. T. Harrison Garrett, also to
a Bedding- Design from Patterson
Park.

Trade Notes.
Business has picked up recently
and prospects are now much brighter
than for several weeks past. Colored
flowers of all kinds are moving again.
The only scarcity noticeable is the white
stock; this no doubt is owing largely to
the greatly Increased quantity of funeral
work lately. It is the unanimous opin-
ion of the local men here that the quan-
tities of floral tributes accepted at Wind-
sor has stamped the seal of approval on
design work, and that this rapidly de-
creasing custom will now receive a new
and lasting Impetus.
The long held suspicion among the lo-
cal retailers that they were the victims
of a wholesalers' combine is, in the light
of investigation, developing Into a cer-
tainty, and united steps are being taken
to remedy the matter. Violets were the
first subjects of inquiry, as the $2 per
100 asked for singles was considered too
high tor this time of year. The result is
that an out-ot-tosvn grower is now ship-
ping quantities of highest grade violets
to the city at GOc. Thus encouraged,
other lines will receive attention.
A Carnation Meeting February HG.
Prompted no doubt by the enthu-
siasm engendered by the carnation show
at Baltimore, the Florists and Garden-
ers' Club decided to hold an exhibition
on their own account. Accordingly re-
quests for exhibits were sent to several
of the best-known growers, and to date
not one refusal has been received. The
list of growers other than local who
answered immediately are: John N.
May, a collection of new varieties; J. L.
Dillon, Queen Louise; Dailledouze Bros.,
Prosperity; Nathan Smith & Son, collec-
tion of new varieties; Gammage & Sons,
20 new and standard varieties; Chicago
Carnation Co., collection of new and
standard varieties; J. H. Dunlop, a col-
lection of new and standard varieties.
For the benefit of these gentlemen I
might say that the American and Na-
tional express companies run direct to
this city; close connections are also made
by the other American express compa-
nies. It will be best, however, for each
shipper to make inquiries as to time of
trains at his localofBce. Joseph Bennett,
the well-known florist, has been appoint-
ed superintendent of exhibits, and to
him all consignments must be sent care-
fully labeled as follows:
" Florists and Gardeners' Carnation
Show, care of Joseph Bennett, 130 Peel
Street, Montreal, Quebec."
Arrangements have been made with
the custom authorities, and all parcels
bearing that address will be delivered
immediately free of duty. Mr. Bennett
has modern facilities for keeping exhibits,
and no one need be afraid to ship early.
A coupleof successful American Beauty
growers making inquiries about Queen
of Edgely, the secretary was instructed
to make an effort to secure some speci-
mens. Any grower who wishes to make
an exhitjit and has received no invitation
will please make inquiries as above. The
Natural History Society Hall has been
secured for the exhibition. This will in-
sure plenty of room for visitors and the
best possible conditions for the exhibits.
Admission tickets will be printed and
distributed by the members. The associ-
ate members will also receive a supply,
as will the leading citizens. To a non-
ticket holder a small admission fee will
be charged.
Columbus, 0.
R. G. Ray, superintendent of the
City Park, has been a victim of the
grip.
Mrs. Stephens, who some time since
went to Europe to spend the winter,
surprised the folks at home by return-
ing and bringing some relatives with
her.
On the morning of February 9, fire
broke out in the potting shed of the
Livingston Seed Company's green-
house in Neil avenue. A conservative
estimate places the loss at $600. The
greater portion of this is in damage to
valuable plants. The fire is supposed
to have started from the furnace.
La grippe recently attacked E. L.
Charles and his whole family. At this
writing they are all convalescent.

OBITUARY.
Robert Veitch.
Robert Veitch, who died at New Ha-
ven, Conn., on Sunday, the 17th inst.,
was born in Peebles, Scotland, May 8,
1817. He came to this country in 1853,
and from then continued in business
under his own name until 1873, when
the firm name was changed to Robert
Veitch & Son. In 1899 the business
was reorganized under the name of
The Robert Veitch Company.
Deceased was probably the oldest
florist in Connecticut. He was a typi-
cal Scottish - American, wedded to
everything connected with old Scot-
land, but enthusiastic in everything
associated with his adopted country,
and especially interested in the anti-
slavery campaign and the election of
President Lincoln in 1860.
His knowledge of botany and the
growing and love of plants and flow-
ers could hardly be excelled. His
work was his life, and even in later
years, when the infirmities of ad-
vanced age were evident, his supreme
ambition was to work continually
among his beloved flowers. Even in
the delirium of his last illness he im-
agined himself actively at work caring
for his old-time favorites. His inti-
mate friends have comprised almost all
the flower lovers of New Haven and
vicinity for the last forty-five years.
Deceased was twice married, his first
wife dying in 1871. By the firet mar-
riage he had six children, three of
whom are living.
The second marriage was to Miss
Helen J. Davidson, of New York, in
May, 1874. The widow and two chil-
dren, Johnstone D. Veitch, of New
York, and Susan H. Veitch, of New
Haven, survive.
I. Shelby Crall.
Isaac Shelby Crall, seedsman and flo-
rist, aged 75 years, died at his home,
"The Mounds," at Monongahela, Pa.,
last week. Mr. Crall was born at Bellever-
non. Pa., November 19, 1826, and went
to Monongahela, Pa., at the age of 6
years' where he lived until the California
gold excitement in 1849. He went to
California with a number of friends from
Mouongahela, returning in a few years.
Being always a great lover of flowers,
on his return from California in 1867 he
built for his own private use and pleas-
ure the first greenhouse in the Monon-
gahela Valley. He was not allowed to
enjoy the production of the house alone,
as the demand for a few flowers was con-
stant. Realizing that he could combine
business with pleasure, Mr. Crall bought
a farm of 70 acres on the outskirts of the
city and entered into the florist business,
together with market gardening. From
the one house the plant has grown to
18 at the present time, consisting of
over 50,000 feet of glass, besides a large
amount in frames. Mr. Crall is survived
by a widow, two sons and a daughter.
The business will be continued under
the same title by the sons, who have
been active In the business for the past
few years.
Henry Haeffner.
Henry Haeffner, Hamilton, C, died of
pneumonia there on February 13, aged
()5 years. He had been ill less than a
week. Deceased was a native of Ger-
many, and for 15 years had been engaged
in the florist business in Hamilton. A
widow, two sons and one daughter sur-
vive him.

The F=i-orists' Exchmisge.
187
Newport, R. I.
To the modern florist ice is as much of
a necessity as coal; consequently the
securing of a crop of good ice is of some
importance. On calling at Carl Jurgens'
establishment a few days ago a large
force of men under the direction of Carl,
Jr., was found busy at just such worlii
and they have since succeeded in filling
the ice houses to their utmost capacity.
Lily of the valley being forced here in
quantity the year round, a cold-storage
plant tor the pips is an absolute neces-
sity. In the greenhouses roses are the
principal crop, there being a whole range
devoted to Bride and Bridesmaid. The
plants are at present off crop, but give
indication of doing better later on-
These are on own roots, and will be re.
placed next planting by grafted stocls,
the propagation of which is going on
now. Manetti is used. A house of Lib-
erty is in fine, healthy condition, but the
growth is too weak to give satisfactory
results; and until its wants are better
understood this rose is not liliely to
prove profitable. One thing is evident,
viz., grafted plants of it do much better
than those un own rooots. A few Golden
Gate are grown and these are in a healthy
condition and have done well.
For Summer use, American Beauty,
Meteor, and Kaiserin Augusta Victoria
are the principal varieties grown; these
are in solid beds and are now dormant.
Bulbous stock is also forced in large
quantities. Harrisii lilies are not han-
dled at all, but at the Mill Street branch
lily of the valley can be had any day the
whole year round.
In my last letter I spoke of the general
failure of carnations in this sectinu, but
find that at least one grower (Arendt
Brandt) has experienced no trouble what-
ever. His plants are in solid beds, the
varieties being principally Lizzie Mc-
Gowan and Albertini, there being some
15,000 plants of the latter sort, and not
an unhealthy one to be seen in the lot.
The Marquis is on trial and promises to
do well. For a red Jahn's Scarlet is used,
but this variety, Mr. Brandt says, may be
discarded in favor of G. H. Crane. A few
Mrs. George M. Bradt are grown, but
flowers of mixed colors are not much in
demand.
Annual Ball.
The Horticultural Society's annual
ball, which was held on Tuesday evening,
February 12, was one of the most sue
cessful entertainments of the kind ever
given by the society, and reflects credit
on the various committees in charge.
The hall was very prettily decorated
with Southern smilax and other greens.
Among potted plants in flower were
Harrisii lilies and cinerarias. The Com-
mittee on Decoration was composed of
Messrs. Arthur Griffin, Andrew Meikle,
Bruce Butterton, Charles D. Stack and
Robert Laurie.
As usual, James G.Kyle was floor man-
ager, his assistant being Louis Ziegler;
aids, J. K. Sullivan, Colin Robertson, J.
H. Barney, Jr., Tom Fieidhouse, Oscar
Schultz, James Sullivan, Colonel Bliss
and John F. Sullivan.
President Richard Gardner, with a
large Reception Committee, was assidu-
ous in caring for the wants of the guests.
Mac.
Grand Rapids.
The week has been a busy one, resem-
bling the Christmas holidays. The feature
of St. Valentine's Day was the number of
boxes of flowers sent out, particularly
violets.
Almost a famine exists in stock. Large
orders are sim()ly refused; smaller mixed
orders are filled as complete as the stock
on hand will permit. A few lilies are on
the market, and plenty of bulb, tulips,
daffodils and Paper White narcissus. Vio-
lets are very plentiful and retail at 15c.
to 20c. per dozen.
The warm Fall we had was a severe
test of the quality of the different varie-
ties of violets. In the dark kinds. Impe-
rial is by long odds the best. It is of the
same color as The Farquhar and Marie
Louise. It requires the same treatment,
yet It is a stronger grower, of sturdier
habit, and gives better flowers, with
longer stems. It blooms just as freely
as the others and stands more hard-
ships. In this locality it will be the only
dark violet grown next Winter.
The interest in the Baltimore meeting
has been drowned out by a rush of busi-
ness, and it looks as if Geo. F. Crabb and
Henry Smith would be the only two to
attend the convention, G. F. C.
New York.
The Effect of Lent.
The season of Lent has again come
around, and, so far as this city is con-
cerned, it can be said that it has brought
with it an almost stagnated condition
in cut-flower circles.
Usually Ash Wednesday has been a
day when an abundance of flowers has
been called for, but this year the day
was marked as an extremely dull one,
and the same condition will no doubt
prevail for the first quarter of the Lenten
season anyway; then, if we may take
the last year or two as a guide, business
will assume its ordinary proportions.
Tlie market is at present very much over-
loaded with bulbous flowers, and of
these, the worst glut is in the yellow daf-
fodils and tulips; it is not a question of
price with them; they simply are too
plentiful and cannot be cleared out at
any figure. Of course the continued cold
weather is responsible for this bulbous
stock accumulating so heavily; were it
mild weather so that the street venders
could operate there would be an outlet
tor all this surplus at some price or other.
Violets are in about the same condi-
tions, accumulating fast and waiting for
milder weather to provide an outlet, for
although the retail stores consume a cer-
tain amount daily, it is the unsold sur-
plus that pulls down the average values.
American Beauty roses have fallen down
quite a step; while a few have been dis-
posed of at .'54 per dozen, there have also
been sales made at $2.50 and J;i per
dozen. The number coming in is in ex-
cess of the present demand. Brides and
Bridesmaids are also going down in
value and do notclearoui at all satisfac-
torily, but the poorest sellers among the
roses are the red varieties. Carnations aie
also going quite cheap and there are
plenty of them ; a few of the fancy kinds
bring fair figures, but the vast amount
of ordinary gradeflowers are disposed of
at from 75c. to $1.25 per 100.
Good long lilies are not too plentiful,
but there are plenty of inferior blooms
on the market. Sweet peas are plentiful
and do not take near so well with buyers
as in previous years. Just why is hard
to determine.
Smilax, asparagus and maidenhair
fern move fairly well, and no change in
value is noted. Cattleyas and other or-
chids are in but limited supply, conse-
quently the price remains about the same.
Lilac is not over-abundant, and brings
from 50c. to 75c. per bunch.
Potted plants of violets and Dutch
hyacinths are now seen in several of the
wholesale establishments.
Among the Retailers.
Spring flowering plants are abun-
dant, making the windows of the retailers
very gay at this time.
There have been many elaborate deco-
rations recently, and that for the dinner
and ball given at Sherry's on St. Valen-
tine's Day, was one of the finest of the
season. Hodgson's, of Fifth Avenue, had
charge, and besides all other flowers,
used over 30,000 roses.
In the entrance hall palms and
other decorative plants were utilized,
while the rooms were done in flowers
and flowering plants, each room having
one predominating color. The reception
room was all pink, consisting of roses,
azaleas, etc.; pink rbbon was used ex-
tensively.
The ball room was done in yellow,
and the many bulbous flowers and
potted plants in the market made it pos-
sible to put up a very flne effect in this
color. The supper room was all roses,
with red predominating. The ceiling and
walls were first covered with a wooden
lattice-work, then the roses were ente-
vined therein, making the room into a ver-
itable rose bower. American Beauty,
Liberty and Meteor were the principal
varieties used, though other colors were
not left out altogether.
At a one-table dinner decoration done
recently by Mr. Alex. McConnell. The ta-
ble was a large one,.lU x 7 feet, built
around a kentia, 15 feet high, the palm
thus making the centerpiece of the table.
In the forks of the trunk growing plants
of Dendroblum Wardianum were hung;
these were in full flower and had their
roots hidden by .idiantum Farleyense
fronds. Along the midribs of each palm
leaf glass vases were hung In which were
held cut blooms of cattleyas. The fa-
vors were also of orchids and thedeconi-
tlons of the room consisted of forsythia,
Pyrus japonica, almonds and cherries
forced into flower, also with palms, etc.
The same florist also had an elaborate
tabledeoorationat the Murray Hill Hotel
on Monday night last. Fifteen large
centerpieces were used, each being com-
posed of roses only.
The ladies' executive and the executive
committees of the American Rose .Society
met in the Waldorf-Astoria on Tuesday,
and perfected arrangements for the com-
ing show, which is to be held in this hotel
during the month of March. It was de-
cided that Mr. Otto Bussech be manager
of the exhibition. There are going to be
special inducements that will no doubt
bring out splendid displays from the re-
tailers, notably liberal prizes for made-
up work, such as chancel and we<ldiDg
decorations, table and mantel decora-
tions and bouquets.

The f=LORISTS' EXCHHNGB.
The Carnation in
Health and Disease.
By Albert F. Woods, Chief of the Division of
Vegetable Physiology and Pathology, V.
S. Department of Agriculture, Washington,
D.C.
When your secretary requested me
to prepare a paper on carnations for
this meeting, I was tempted to ask
to be excused. The £act is, I linow
comparatively little about carnations
and that little is bound up with the
question of diseases, especially the
one formerly known as "bacteriosis,"
but now as sUgmonose or "puncture
disease." The various diseases of the
carnation, so far as they are known,
have been very ably discussed on a
number of different occasions at your
meetings. You have as a society been
very fortunate in having the untiring
efforts of such eminent botanists as
Dr. Arthur, Professor Halsted and
Professor Atkinson, as well as so many
expert growers and skilled observers
among your members. The reports
of your meetings are always of great
interest and value. I can add little
that is new on the important diseases
of carnations to what has already been
presented at your meetings and
printed in your reports.
1 shall therefore confine myself in
this paper in large part to the dis-
ease which ypu will probably recog-
nize better by its old name, "bac-
teriosis" than by its new name, "stig-
monose." I have had a good deal to
say about this disease in the past, and
I regret that my motive in saying it
has by some been misunderstood. It
was not my desire to discredit the
work of any investigator. If anything
I have said or written leaves this
impression, I hope to correct it here,
and to present more fully than I have
done before some facts regarding the
varying resistance of carnations to
this and other diseases. The distinc-
tive character of stlgmonose is the
development in the leaf of translucent
spots varying in size from being just
barely visible when examined by
transmitted light to spots 1-16 of an
inch or more in diameter. The dis-
eased plants finally become of a yel-
lowish, sickly color, are more or less
stunted in growth, and the lower
leaves die. When a plant becomes
very badly diseased it seldom entirely
recovers, though it rarely dies out-
right. Two types of the disease are
recognized; the one with circular spots
is produced by aphis punctures and
the other with elongated spots by
thrips. This difference is well brought
out in the illustrations Figs. 1 and 2.
This trouble was first described be-
fore this society by Dr. Arthur. The
honor of its scientific discovery and
description as a disease therefore be-
longs to him. The exact nature and
cause of the malady has, however,
been more or less in dispute. At the
time when Dr. Arthur and Professor
BoUey investigated the disease, it was
not known that the punctures of
aphides, thrips, and red spiders pro-
duced any far-reaching pathological
changes in the plant except to retard
growth. The clear or yellowish trans-
lucent dots which characterize the dis-
ease were suggestive of slow grow-
ing bacteria or fungi.
It was a very natural thing, there-
fore, to search for such organisms in
the diseased tissues. A microscopic
examination revealed the presence of
small bodies in the diseased cells,
markedly resembling bacteria and
which any one might easily mistake
for such. Bacteria as a rule grow
readily on various substances, as
cooked potato and gelatine, and in
dilute broths of various kinds. It is
possible in this way to obtain pure cul-
tures or colonies of any specific form.
After much work Dr. Arthur and Pro-
fessor Bolley obtained pure cultures of
a yellow bacterium associated with
the disease which grew well on arti-
ficial media under conditions similar
to those in the leaf. They now took
several plants which they believed to
be perfectly healthy and put some of
these germs on the young leaves, and
after several weeks the parts of the
leaves where the germs were applied
became diseased. One might naturally
conclude, therefore, as Dr. Arthur and
Professor Bolley did, that the bacteria
were the cause of the disease. Bacteria
require a good deal of moisture to
develop well. It was, therefore, a very
proper recommendation to keep the
foliage as dry as possible and give the
plants plenty of light and air. This
practice was said to be followed as a
rule by very beneficial results to the
health and vigor of the plants, espe-
cially when aphides were kept down, as
they were also supposed to introduce
the germs of the disease into the tis-
sues by their punctures. It had been
noticed that where these insects were
numerous the disease was bad.

Now it happened that a large house
of carnations at the U. S. Propagating
Gardens came down with a malady
which answered the description of bac-
teriosis in every particular. The plants
had been fumigated with tobacco in
the usual way to keep down aphides,
and the foliage had been kept com-
Ijaratively dry to guard against dis-
ease in general. Attempts were made
to check the trouble by spraying the
young foliage of some of the plants
several times a week with germicidal
.solutions, such as corrosive sublimate
and formalin, but none of these ap-
peared to do any good. It was there-
tore decided to force the plants as rap-
idly as possible and get what flowers
we could from them. The temperature
was raised a little abore the normal
and the plants were frequently syr-
inged. To our surprise. In the moister
air with frequent syringlngs the plants
greatly improved and showed less of
the disease. This experience led us to
examine very carefully the bacterial
theory of the trouble.
A great many sections were cut
through diseased spots of all sizes and
ages and many tests for bacteria were
made. The peculiar bodies which were
formerly thought to be bacteria were
finally shown to be the products of the
disorganizing cells. But why should
the cells disorganize in such a peculiar
progressive manner? Although bac-
teria could not be demonstrated with
the microscope they might still be pres-
ent under some peculiar condition. It
was neces&ary to examine the diseased
and healthy tissues by the so-called
culture method, that is, as I have pre-
viously explained, to put some of the
tissue in question, without contaminat-
ing it in any way from outside, into
dilute meat or vegetable broths or on
boiled potato or gelatine. If bacteria
are present they soon become apparent
by their very rapid development under
these conditions.
Diseased plants were obtained for
this purpose from most of the large
carnation centers of the country,
through growers familiar with the dis-
ease. The yellow germ supposed to be
the cause of the disease was found in
several cases, but never in the inner
tissues of the plant. In fact, in nearly
all cases no bacteria or fungi of any
kind were found in the diseased spots
of the leaves. Occasionally in the last
stages of the disease, when the sur-
face of the spot had begun to break
down, bacteria and fungi of various
kinds were found in the tissues. It
was evident, therefore, that these could
not be the cause of the disease.
However, to make sure, a large
amount of healthy, young growth of
many plants free from insect or other
injury of any kind was Inoculated
with the germ said to cause the disease,
but no cases of infection were obtained.
Other bacteria found on the surface of
the leaves were tested in the same
way, but no bacteria were found that
produced any kind of disease either
when thoroughly washed over the
young leaves or injected hypodermical-
ly into the tissues. This settled the
matter of the cause of the disease as
far as bacteria' were concerned.
The next problem was to investigate
the relation of insects to the trouble,
and, of course, the first to be examined
was the aphis or green fly. These lit-
tle pests are present everywhere In-
doors and outdoors, and I do not need
to tell you how rapidly they breed and
how difficult it is to exterminate them,
though they may be kept pretty well
under control by constant attention.
By colonizing these insects on healthy
plants it was soon found that diseased
spots were developed wherever the in-
sects punctured the young leaves, but
not in fully matured leaves. The
greatest care was taiien to exclude all
bacteria — the surface of the leaves was
carefully sterilized with corrosive sub-
limate and the aphides were kept ab-
solutely free from bacteria. Still un-
der these conditions, the disease was
invariably produced wherever the
aphides punctured the young leaves.
The spot did not become apparent in
the leaf until several days after the
puncture was made, some plants re-
acting much more quickly than others.
Young growths reacted more quickly
than older growth, and in mature
leaves, as I have stated, there was no
apparent reaction at all. Aphides
might go on puncturing a plant for a

week or so and then be killed by fumi-
gation or otherwise, and for a time the
plants would appear to be healthy,
thougrh later, perhaps after a week or
ten days, they would begin to show
disease. It is probable that the ap-
parent infections with bacteria that Dr.
Arthur and Professor Bolley obtained
were on plants which had been pre-
viously punctured in this way but
which at the time the inoculations were
made appeared to be perfectly healthy.
The question now arose, why should
the punctures of the insect produce
spots which kept on increasing in size,
finally severely injuring the plant? In-
order to get some light on this ques-
tion, aphides were suddenly killed while
they were feeding on the leaf, and sec-
tions very carefully cut, showing how
they obtained their nourishment, and
from what part of the leaf structure it
came. The next illustration. Fig. 4,
shows one of these sections. The suck-
ing apparatus of the insect is thrust
between the cells of the very center
of the leaf, there drawing from the
stores of food which the carnation
plant had made for its own use.
The insects suck this food material
from the tissues and excrete the sugar
as honey dew, forming bright, sticky
spots on the leaves. The result, of
course. Is first of all partial starva-
tion for the whole plant, which be-
comes more or less apparent by the
stunting and sometimes the distortion
of the plant, according to the quantity
of food removed (Fig. 8). The trouble
does not stop here, however. When
the insect sticks its bill into the tis-
sues it injects a gelatinous substance
which Is left between the cells after
the bill is withdrawn. The presence of
this material is easily detected by the
aid of a good microscope. The next
illustration (Fig. 5) shows some of It
stained between the cells in a very
young diseased spot (s. s. s.), extend-
ing as dark lines down into the leaf.
Gradually the cells surrounding this
material become paler and paler in
color and swell up to several times
their normal size (Fig. 6). The pro-
toplasm breaks down into minute
granules resembling bacteria, and
these finally on the death of the cells
run together Into globular masses, re-
sembling some kind of fungus, though
they are really nothing but dead pro-
trogenous reserve food materials In
these cells. This is accompanied by a
greatly increased oxidation due to a
certain enzyme or chemical ferment.
The increase in size of the diseased
cells is probably an accompaniment of
this process. In the ordinary healthy
condition of the plant, starch is made
in the green cells during the day.
It is later converted into sugar by a
chemical ferment known as diastase
and is then used tor food by the
plant as a whole, being transported to
all parts. This change from starch to
sugar is greatly retarded when the
chemical ferment that causes oxida-
tion Increases beyond the normal
amount. The food materials of the
diseased plants become very sluggish
In their movement, and are probably
very easy for the insects to get. The
plant itself suffers from a sort of in-
digestion, and soon loses in vigor, be-
coming much more susceptible to all
unfavorable conditions as well as to
insect and fungous parasites. Careful
examination has shown that when
these abnormal changes have been
once started in a plant the ill effects
continue long after the initial cause
has disappeared. If the insects are
killed or kept off such a plant the mew
growth will be free from spots, and
therefore apparently healthy. It is,
however, poor in reserve albumin and
has an excessive amount of oxidizing
enzymes, as explained above, and is
therefore In fact diseased. This mal-
nutrition becomes gradually cumula-
tive from generation to generation of
cuttings, and so far as our investiga-
tions have gone, cannot be cured.
Stimulating manures intensity the
trouble instead of correcting it.
It was noted in these experiments,
and indeed it Is a well-known fact,
that certain individual plants of any
given variety are much more suscepti-
ble than others to injury from these
causes. In fact, some plants hardly
react at all to aphis punctures, while
others become badly diseased. The
aphides do not thrive on the resistant
plants, but increase rapidly on the
plants that are not resistant. This
was found to be due to the fact that
the resistant plants were rich in re-
serve nitrogen, and did not have an
excessive amount of the oxidizing fer-
ment, and were also rich in tannin, a

toplasm. The Illustration. Fig. B.
shows the enlargement of the cells in
the punctured area and the progressive
development of the malady. The final
stage of the disease when the cells
have broken down is shown in Fig. 7.
Compare with Fig. 3, which shows a
section of a healthy leaf.
It may be that something injected
with the gelatinous material slowly
diffuses through the cells in the region
of the puncture, causing them to slowly
die.
One of the first things that may be
observed by a chemical study of the
diseased cells is a decrease of the ni-
substance which aphides greatly dis-
like. On the other hand, the plants
which the aphides thrived on were
poor in reserve nitrogen, poor in tan-
nin, and rich in the oxidizing ferment,
while at the same time they were of
slower gro%vth, lighter colored, and
the tissues less slimy when crushed
or broken than the resistant plants.
To get resistant strains, therefore, it
would be necessary to propagate only
from these resistant plants.
There is evidence, also, which Indi-
cates strongly that this diseased con-
dition of nutrition may be induced by
unfavorable conditions of growth. For
example, severe cutting back of the
plants during active growth makes
the new growth that develops very •
sensitive to insect punctures. Severe
injury to the roots In transplanting
during active growth also makes the
plants very sensitive to disease. The
tissues in these cases show the same
chemical reactions that I have before
pointed out for diseased plants. Rapid
growth induced by high moisture
content of soil and air produces tissues
showing this same sensitiveness to
injury by insects and richer in oxidiz-
ing ferment than plants grown under
much less readily. The main loss, es-
pecially in case of the two spot dis-
eases named, was during the period
that the plants were establishing
themselves in the house.
To avoid epidemics of these diseases
it Is necessary to move the plants
with as little check as possible, give
them abundance of air and not too
much water, remove entirely badly dis-
eased plants, dead and diseased leaves,
etc. After they are thoroughly estab-
lished in the houses not much damage
will be done by these diseases. The
danger of a check In transplanting

more favorable conditions. It Is evi-
dent, therefore, that unless care-
ful selection is practiced, varie-
ties which respond readily to
these unfavorable conditions would
gradually become so subject to
disease as to make them unprofit-
able. It is a peculiar tact that plants
which are most subject to insect in-
jury are also most subject to Injury
by parasitic fungi, and probably for
the same reason. j.oo much attention,
therefore, cannot be given to keep-
ing stock up to a high standard of
natural vigor by careful selection of
cuttings from vigorous plants and by
careful attention to the general needs
of the plant. If this were done the
prevalence of disease of all kinds
would be reduced to a minimum.
This, of course, is not a new propo-
sition to florists or to others who make
a business of growing and studying
plants. You know perhaps better than
anybody else that unless rigid selec-
tion is practiced, stock will run out.
In these Investigations some of the
causes of deterioration and the nature
of the changes have been determined.
In concluding this paper, I will men-
tion briefly three diseases which have
been unusually prevalent this year. The
first of these is stem rot, which is
being investigated by Messrs. Stewart
and Duggar. As a special time has
been set apart at this meeting for dis-
cussing this disease, I will not enter
into it here.
Probably the next most serious car-
nation disease this year has been the
leaf spot caused by the fungus Sep-
toria dianthi Desm. A diseased plant
from one of our own greenhouses is
shown in the illustration (Fig. 9). The
spots are usually more or less irregu-
lar in outline and bordered by a dark
purple margin. The spores form on
the lighter central area of the spot
within lli.i»e black bodies barely visible
to the naked eye.
The fairy ring spot, caused by the
fungus Heterosporlum echlnulatura
Berk, has been the cause of serious in-
jury In some cases this season. The
spots produced by this fungus are usu-
ally more regular In outline (Fig. 10),
the central area of the spot being cov-
ered by a gray mold-like growth made
up of the spores of the fungus, leav-
ing a narrow border of light brown
dead tissue, from which the name
"fairy ring" may have arisen. This
disease attacks not only the leaves and
stems, but also the flower buds.
Both of these diseases develop most
rapidly and do most serious damage to
plants that have been Injured In tran.s-
planting from the fields to the houses.
In manv sections the dry. hot weather
that prevailed last Fall during the
time the plants were being moved in
was very unfavorable. The root sys-
tems were Injured In lifting the plants
from a dry soil, and they adapted
themselves to the house conditions
could be avoided by indoor culture."
The advocates of this method claim
that there Is less loss from stem rot
and other diseases where it Is prac-
ticed.
Hybridizing the Carnation.
By Peter Fibber, Eli.is, Mass.
It is not my purpose in this paper to
go Into details as to the origin and evo-
lution of the carnation from Its primitive
stages to the magnificent varieties ot the
present day, that having very recently
been done by others, well qualified tbrougli
years of earnest and faithful application.
Some of those early workers, to whom
we owe somueh,are still with us; others
who bid fair to become mighty factors In
the improveraent of the carnation, and
who have almost reached the goal In
view, have been called away In their
prime, and so their work has been laid
aside, to be taken up b.v others and car-
ried forward toward the consummation
ot the ever-receding " Ideal " In the divine
flower.
The beginner in hybridizing or cross-
ing the carnation of to-day, with a view
to Its Improvement, does so on a ver.v
different plane from that of the worker
of ten or even five years ago; and right
here I think it would be well to remember
the debt of gratitude we owe to those
men who have gone before, breaking up
for us the "fallow" ground, so to speak,
and passing it along to us so pregnant
with fruitful possibilities. And 1 am glad
to eay that some of our must expert and
earnest workers in this cause, and who
have been successful in giving to the
trade some of the best standard varie-
ties, are not the "hermits "in our busi-
ness. Isolating themselves and sbroudlng
their methods In mystery, but they are
those who are ever willing to explain to
anyone Interested enough to Inquire, and
even submit their records, showing the
results of years of patient effort, with a
view to helping others. Such men have
the improvement of the divine flower
at heart, without a doubt.
To get the best results In hybridizing
or cross-fertllizIng the carnation means
much more, to my mind, than the mere
transmission of pollen from one variety
or species to another. It must begin
with the careful selection of desirable va-
rieties, to be used later for this purpose.
Select the cuttings with the greatest care
from flowering stems of healthy plants
only. You cannot be too particular un
this point, because n cutting of this port
alwa.ys Insures earlier and more continu-
ous blooming qualities In the parent
plant from which the pollen Is taken or
seed Is to be raised, as the case may be.
A high state of cultivation Is, to my
mind, indlspenenble all througli.frcm the
taking of the cutting to the gathering of
the seed, and ever after If you would get
out of your seedlings the best traits tliey
contain. Understanding the needs (if
your varieties and a bigh state of cultl-
190

vation is more than half of the battle, for
just iu proportion to the health and
vigor of the parents will the seedlings
develop in health, size and substance.
If the stock is well established, strong
and healthy, so will the offspring be; if
weali, diseased and sickly, they will de-
velop seedings equally faulty.
Early planting is another very impor-
tant point to be considered. Plants
housed late in July or early in August,
from which all flower shoots have been
pinched back, so that they make their
flowering stems indoors, will be well es-
tablished and in condition to use for
crossing purposes in October or early in
November, and later when only the most
vigorous and healthy plants and perfect
flowers should again be selected, either
for seed or polleu parents.
There are several advantages in early
application, as abundance of sunshine
and consequently ample ventilation,
which insure a dry condition of the pol-
len, which is also plentiful during the
early Fall months. November is a good
month in which to work, as insects are
lejs liable to be troublesome at this time,
fertihzing where you would prefer to do
it yourself. From crossings made during
this mouth seed can be ripened and sown
during the latter part of January. Crosses
made earlier or late In Spring will ripen
Seed in a shorter period, but iu the latter
ease often too late to be of service the
same season. If sown in January the
seedlings have three months' growth be-
fore planting them outdoors, and most
of them will bloom in the field, thus giv-
ing a chance for selecting only meritori-
ous varieties for further tests indoors,
and so much valuable space Is saved.
I have sown seed as late as April 2,
and had some of the plants bloom in the
field by August 15, four and one-half
months from sowing seeil. But late sow-
ing is not to be recommended, as many
of the plants have not bloomed before
frosts are due, and to house all those
that have not means a waste of much
valuable space. In fact, with very few
exceptions, where plants gotover crowd-
ed or from some other cause, I have sel-
dom found a variety that bloomed late
the first season prove of commercial
value. Early and continuous bloomers
are what we need.

food are withdrawn.
Only a few years ago it was thought
by many to be an impossibility to get
blooms of a high grade and in paying
quantities from the same plant. Eight
years ago 1 had varieties producing
blooms 3Vl> to 4 inches and over on stems
like canes that only gave an average of
eight blooms to the plant during the en-
tire season. Those varieties were of a
strong, fleshy growth, with broad foli-
age, i'lants of wiry habit with small
foliage are invariably free bloomers.
The flower runs smaller and often lacks
in substance. By a combination of those
habits, we have to-day varieties that
produce freely high-grade blooms 3 to 4
inches in diameter on long stems, from
plants of excellent habit and medium-
sized leaf and wiry growth, which are
preferable to rank, soft-growing sorts, as
they can beplanted much closer together,
thus getting a much larger cut from the
same space.
The smaller foliage also admits the
sunlight to the base of the plant, and
during the dull Winter months it is not
usually subject to attacks from insect
pests or damaged through syringing,
like soft, fleshy sorts.
The best time to apply the pollen is on
a bright sunny morning or forenoon, and
the time should be regulated by the con-
dition of the atmosphere iu the house;
but the pollen should be dry and applied
while the ventilators are opened, as the
moisture settles on the plants within a
few minutes after closing up the house,
and so is not conducive to best results in
fertilizing the flowers. If impregnation
has taken place, the bloom operated upon
will usually show it by wilting or"going

healthy carnation leaf. The vascular bundles
are darker and heavier walled than the rest of
the tissue. Five of these bundles are shown in
the seel ion (Z') and these are surrounded by a
layer of thin-walled round or globular cells (re)

to sleep" within 24 hours. The method
of applying the pollen has been so often
explained and is so simple that I need
not here describe it. It should be done
systematically, always having an aim in
view. When the flowers are iu proper
condition depends upon the varieties,
some being ready almost as soon as the
bloom expands; others take as long as
two weeks to develop their organs. This
knowledge must be attained through
close observation.
In hybridizing always strive toward
retaining an ideal habit of plant, healthy
and vigorous, of stiff, wiry growth, pro-
ducing freely fragrant flowers (it possi-
ble) of largest size and substance on
strong stems, and in shades of color that
will appeal to the public taste. But the
flower must be a ready seller. Self colors
are usually most useful from a commer-
cial standpoint, and yet there is ever a
demand for something new, both in style
and color. Indiscriminate crossing is not
to be recommended, as it lacks in interest
and is not instructive.
I do not mean to say one cannot go at
it haphazard, using the superior varie-
ties of to-day, and- get grand results.
That can be done without a doubt, and
I also believe the time is fast approach-
ing when, through the rapid improve-
ment of the carnation, seedlings will be
freely raised in this manner, unfolding a
wealth of color and of a general quality
requiring the discarding of a very small
percentage. (A house of such a strain
would be a boon to the average florist
with a good retail home trade.) I also
believe the quality of those flowers will
be as marked In the carnation as in the
pansy or gloxinia of today raised from
seed, where they also 2.5 years ago were
propagated from cuttings and leaves, to
perpetuate the best varieties.
attention of the hybridizer. He must
have a standard to work up to, and he
must raise that standard high, having
in mind the very best he knows of in ex-
existence, and his aim must ever be to
surpass it, no matter if he may already
be the possessor of the beet yet raised. ^
Keep records of each cross you make;
note carefully the results, especially of
those you find to be decided acquisitions.
It may take years before you attain the
object for which you have been striving.
There will be many disappointments, but
it is this "everlastingly keeping at it"
that brings success.
I believe by carefully and persistently
working, taking separate shades of color,
crossing white with white, pink with
pink, crimson with crimson, etc., year
after year, using the product, that mixed
colors will gradually disappear and a
very large percentage will come true to
color. It will take years to accomplish
this, but once you get this clear blood
infused into your strains, you can foretell
pretty closely what to expect from each
batch of seedlings. This is one of the
great advantages of keeping records and
a systematic method of working. With
indiscriminate crossing you commence in
the dark and continue there.
One's lack of knowledge as to the par-
entage of many of the new introductions
from year to year is often a great disad-
vantage to one who keeps a strict record.
With a knowledge of the parentage back
two or three or more years, one could
act more intelligently and much of the
mystery as to the diversity of colors in
their ofispring would be explained. And
yet this lack of knowledge has a saving
element in it, as it often infuses new vigor
where too close breeding might have a
tendency to runn ug out and weakening
of the stock. We are all working along
separate lines toward the same goal,
and who can tell what a combination of
the best results of each individual effort
may yet accomplish for the improvement
of tlie carnation of the future?
Long ago the word was passed that the
"limit" had been reached, and yet each
successive .year sees a new record estab-
lished, and soit will be for years to come.
Whether we have retrograded or pro-
gressed can ouly be ascertained by "look-
ing backward" in any calling of life, and
so with the culture and improvement of
the divine flower. As we bring this test
to bear upon the carnation of to day as
compared with those of ten or even five
years ago, no one will dispute the fact
that they loom up as a "new creation."
Yet, great as has been the advance in the
last decade, it will, in my opinion, be far
eclipsed in the next five years. I believe
that the Improvement of the carnation
is only in its infancy. We are like chil-
dren playing on the beach— here and there
picking up a pebble and yet, beyond is
the vast ocean of Nature's boundless
storeroom, from which we are trying to
coax some of her hidden treasures, and our
success will be just in proportion to the
intelligent and untiring effort put forth.

taking advantage of the natural means
put within our reach.
The last stage, but by no means the
least important part of the hybridizer's
work, is the final selection of the varie-
ties to be disseminated to the trade. Al-
ways remember that you are apt to be a
prejudiced party, and naturally so, in fa-
vor of your own productions. These
ought to be tested three or more years
before distribution. During this period
you (it expert in your business) cannot
fail to see and note the faults of each va-
riety. Compare them conscientiously
with the very best you know of in their
class. That must be your standard to
go by. You must havesomething tangi-
ble; anything imaginary is but the ever-
receding " ideal;" its size, substance and
wealth of color can only be guessed at.
If you are fortunate enough to have our
best growers visit your establishment,
note carefully their opinions. They are
often worth much— if expressed; but as
a rule the amount of interest taken in
the inspection of a variety is a pretty
sure indication of its excellence.
There is always a demand for some
new shade of color, and in trying to in-
troduce it do not forget that we are ca-
tering to the public taste. Note carefully
the opinion of lady visitors of culture as
they pass through your greenhouses.
•They are usually excellent judges. If
your pet variety is passed unnoticed, do
not take up time nursing it any longer.
If it is something that at once attracts
attention, it is pretty safe to say it will
prove a success. Last of all, take it to
the annual meeting of the American Car-
nation Society and let it be compared
with the best products of other growers.
It is pretty sure to get scored just about
where it belongs — except on general
habit and productiveness of the plant,
which the originator alone can know.
But if lie would retain the respect of his
fellow florists, let him " hew to the line,"
and If it has any bad defect in its general
character, state it frankly and do not
send it out, or do so stating the defect
plainly. Do not get the idea into your
head that you must launch a collection ot
new sorts on to the market every year.
Do not even think that the trade expects
one new variety every season. Better go
slow it you have the good of this society
at tieart. It were better to count the in-
troductions of ten years ot your best
efforts on the fingers of one hand, yes, or
even on the index finger, than send out a
host of worthless varieties to cause end-
less confusion, disappointment and loss
to your fellows.

Field Mice.
Editor Florists^ Exchange:
We are troubled more or less
every year with this pest, and
our remedy is this: Procure a
steel rat trap having a large treadle.
Reject those with small treadles, as
they are worthless. Attach with wire
a piece of chain to the trap, nailing
or securing the other end so that it
cannot be dragged away. Take a
piece of raw meat, say an inch square,
and tie it to the treadle, passing the
string through the holes for this pur-
pose. Set the trap and then with a
stick press the treadle until the slight-
est touch will spring It. Place the trap
In a box several Inches deep and just
large enough to admit the trap, then
sprinkle over It some bran or meal.
The chances are when the mouse
jumps In after the meat he will strike
the treadle and spring it. If he gets
in one side, he will commence gnawing
the meat, but If the trap Is properly
set he will not eat for a very lengthy
period. We think this preferable to
poison. F. C. CURTIS.
Harvard Carnation.
Editor Florists^ Exchansre:
In F. .1. N.'s report from Boston, Feb"
ruary 16th issue, he states that Wm.
Nicholson is cutting from a new Har-
vard carnation. Is this to be its name?
There was a new one named Harvard in
189(3, raised by the late N.Singler.ot Chi-
cago, a pure crimson; we hardly think,
however, it got a general distribution,
but it Is of record in the carnation list,
although we believe Its birth was before

Wholesalers Busy.
During the early part of laBt week
business was a little quiet In the city
among the retailers, but the wholesale
men were kept pretty busy, but with a
moderation in the temperature the last
of the week the business brisked up a lit-
tle on Friday and Saturday, and contin-
ucil very good during the early part of
this week, though it is the general opin-
ion that with the advent of the Lenten
season the usual depression will be felt;
still for the last few years this depression
has not been so severe as formerly.
There was very little change In the
market since last report until Monday of
this week, when, after rather mild
weather during Fiiday, Saturday and
Sunday, stock came in faster than for
many days. Roses, which had been get-
ting more plentiful for a couple of weeks
past, are now in good supply and the
demand has held out well, except, per-
haps, for the better grades. In all kinds
the medium to good grades sell best; In
Brides and Bridesmaids, those selling at
$0 to $10 per 100 moving much faster
than the extra and fancy grades, which
now make J14 and 10 per 100. Of course
for work the smaller grades at $3 to $i>
are selling well, and in other roses the
same conditions will be found to exist.
American Beauties are holding prices
well.
Carnations, which for some time past
have only been just plentiful enough to
meet the demand, are now in good sup-
ply and coming along regularly. Prices
up to date have not suffered much, but
there are evidences of a slight falling off
in the near future.
The bulb market is now overstocked in
daffodils, and they are moving slowly at
very low prices, some growers offering
good stock on Wednesday at 20c. per
dozen, and f2 per 100 is now outside
figure tor choicest stock of Von Sions.
Princeps fetch $2.50, Golden Spur and
Empress make ?3 to $i. A few Hors-
fieldii are about which are held at $5 per
100. Tulips, too, are very plentiful; it Is
almost impossible to clean out at a fair
price; $2 per 100 is the average, though
select grade make $2.50 and $3, a few
fine Kalserkroons making $4. Murillo
(double pink) is in fair supply at 84.
Dutch hyacinths are becoming more plen-
tiful and selling at $3 to $3.50; lilies are
in good supply, going well at $10 to
$12.50 for Harrisli; callas bring $G to
$10; lily of the valley is now much more
plentiful, and there is quite a supply of
home-grown stock. The usual prices
prevail.
Violets continue very plentiful and
much of the stock finds no outlet, while
a great deal has to be sold so low that
there cannot be much left for the grower.
New Wholesale House.
On March 1 Boston is to have
another wholesale flower store. On that
date, under the firm name of the New
England Cut Flower Co., the store at .3
Ordway Place will be opened by Law-
rence Cotter and Lawrence J. Flynn,
neitlier of whom need any introduction
to Boston florists. Mr. Cotter Is man-
ager of the Rosemere Conservatories, E.
S. Whitten's estate at Dorchester, where
for many years he has been very success-
ful In growing high-grade roses for the
Boston market. Mr. Flynn has for a
long time been manager for George A.
Sutherland, and is conversant with all
the "ins and outs" of the wholesale busi-
ness, and well acquainted with the city
florists, as well as many others through-
out New England, There should be
plenty of room for this addition to Bos-
ton's ever-increasing flower business.
Annual Exhibition at the Market.
The Boston Cooperative Flower
Growers' Association has distributed cir-
culars announcing their sixth annual
trade exhibition of novelties and stand-
ard varieties of older Introduction of
roses, carnations and violets, to be held
in the Boston Flower Market, No. 1 Park
Street, on Saturday, March 9, 1901, 10
a. m. to 4 p. m. These exhibitions In the
past have been remarkably successful,
both in the quality of flowers shown and
in bringing together florists, local and
distant, and making quite an opportu-
nity for business. At last year's exhibi-
tion flowers were shown from as far
west as Illinois, and most of last year's
novelties were seen on the tables.
The committee which have the exhibi-
tion in charge includes Messrs. William C,
Stickel, Peter Fisher, William Nicholson,
and George Cartwright, the latter being
secretary, to whom all entries should be
sent not later than March .5, and all
goods for exhibition should be sent to
arrive Friday, March 8, care of John
Walsh, Boston Flower Market. The fol-
lowing cash prices and certiflcates are
offered :
For best vase roses, 25 blooms, any
color, first, $5.
For best vase, 100 blooms violets,
single, blue, first prize $2.
For beat vase 100 blooms violets, dou-
ble, blue, $2.
For best vase 50 blooms carnations,
light pink, first $4, second $2.
For best vase 50 blooms carnations,
dark pink, first $4, second $2.
For best vase 50 blooms carnations,

In color, Scott Is the dividing line be-
tween light and dark pink. Dark pink
must be darker than that variety.
The judges reserve the right to with-

merit.
Rules governing certificates of merit
for new seedling carnations not yet dis-
seminated are as follows: The variety
must have been bloomed not less than
three years; not less than 25 blooms
must be shown; scale adopted by Ameri-
can Carnation Society to be used in
judging; to secure a certificate, a carna-
tion must score 85 points or more.
A certificate will also be awarded for
the bestcut-flowernovelty of merit other
than carnations, roses or violets.
Massachusetts Horticultural Society.
The main attraction at the hall on
Saturday last was the remarkable collec-
tion of orchids shown b.v W. N. Craig,
gardener to Mrs. F. L. Ames, of North
Easton. In the collection were 25 dis-
tinct varieties of Dendrobium nobile, for
one of which, D. nobile Backhousianum,
a silver medal was awarded, one also
being given for a fine D. Cybille witli
about 200 flowers. A silver medal also
was awarded tor the whole collection,
and certificates of merit were given for
three individual plants, D. Shroederi-
anum giganteum, D. Amesianum grandi-
florum, and D. Chrysodlscus.
Robert Cameron, gardener at the Har-
vard Botanic Gardens, sent in a fine lot
of Primula bconica and Primula stellata
and of Lachenalla Nelson!, the primulas
being very well-grown plants. Three
well-grown and finely flowered plants of
Begonia Gloire de Lorraine were shown
by Walter Angus, gardener to Hon. M.
T. Stevens, for the superior cultivation
of which first-clas certificate of merit.
James Comley made a fine display,
showing camellias in variety, violets,
rhododendrons and Laurustiums.
A few vegetables were shown, George
D. Moore staging lettuce and salsify and
Arthur Nixon showing celery, both ex-
hibits being of good quality.
Among Growers.
A visit to Thomas Roland's place
at Nahant revealed a very extensive lot
of stock plants of Begonia Gloire de Lor-
raine In 2Vi-inch pots which are excep-
tionally fine and entirely free from dis-
ease. Mr. Roland's success in growing
this beautiful flowering begonia has been
remarkable. He says that with the
demand he has had for this begonia
even after Christmas, he would not be
afraid of having a house half full of such
plants. His houses of violets Lad.v Hume
Campbell and Princess of Wales are look-
ing very well indeed, as is the carnation
house. Mr. Roland has tried many of
the newer carnations, with ver.v gratify-
ing success. Mrs. Tliomas W. Lawson
and The Marquis especially have done
remarkably well, and G. H. Crane, Gen-
eral Maceo and several others have
proved very satisfactory. The first year
with Olympla and Ethel Crocker, how-
ever, was far from successful. A bed of
antirrhinum gives promise of a good cut
shortly. Many choice varieties are in-
cluded in a great variety of color.
Thomas A. Cox, of Dorchester, Is now
cutting some of the finest treesias being
brought in to this market.
Notes.
Fred R. Mathison, of Waltham, en-
tertained a few frien<ls at a dinner at the
Qulucy House on Thursday of last week,
It being the thirty-first anniversary of Mr.
Mathison's residence in Massachusetts.
Everything was "done up" in fine style,
and Edward Hatch was a great success
as toastmaster.
William Anderson, of Anderson &
Williams, suffered a very painful accident
Saturday. While working about his boil-
ers he was severely burned on the calf of
the leg, and has been unable to be about
much since.
The Boston delegation to the Carna-
tion Society's convention started Wednes-
day, most of them going on the 9 a. m.
train; the part.v Included Wm. Nicholson,

bury and S. J. Reuter, of Westerly, R. I.
Wm. J. Stewart went on Tuesday after-
noon.

Rochester, N. Y.
H. E. Wilson is building a greenhouse
on Hudson Avenue, which in size and in
the details of construction excels any-
thing heretofore attempted by Monroe
County florists. Lord & Burnham Co.,
of New York, have the entire contract
and expect to have the house ready for
use about February 15. The house com-
plete, including brick store, will cost
about $10,000. The entire structure
covers 30 x 400 feet and runs west from
Hudson Aveuue along the north side of
PrimroseStreet — now being opened — and
connects at the west end with the orig-
inal plant. The latter, which covers
about 150 x 200 feet, runs northward
from Primrose Street nearly to Avenue'
U (tormerl.v Hayward Park), where the
family residence and main entrance to
the greenhouses are now located, The
extension to Hudson Avenue enables
visitors to reach the houses directly by
street car. The new Hudson Avenue
frontage is divided between a store and
show house. The store is a neat two-
stor.v brick building 20 x 50 feet with a
handsome front of cream-colored brick
and plate glass. It will be lijihted by
electricity and furnished with all up-to-
date appliances for handling stock, and
used as an office and as a salesroom for
visitors to the greenhouses. The upper
floor will be used for living rooms. The
show room, 15 x 50, on Hudson Avenue
and Primrose Street, is built as a lean-to
on the south side ol the store. The light
iron frame with curving roof, the wide
curvilinear glass and the decorated en-
trances make up a very handsome struc-
ture. It will be used mainly as a show
room for palms and other plants which
customers wish to select at the green-
houses.
The greenhouse proper, 30 x 350 feet, is
an even span iron frame structure. It is
divided by glass partitions into three
sections— two for roses and one for palms
and stove plants. The 10 x 24 lapped
glass is set in light wood bars which are
supported by angle iron purlins. There
Is two feet of glass in the side walls. The
continuous ventilation at the ridge is
operated by a special device of Lord &
Burnham's. The houses are arranged
with outside walks, giving four 5-foot
benches and five walks. 'The steam for
beating will be generated in one of Lord
& Burnham'snew sectional boilers, which
will be depressed but 18 inches below the
floor of the house, the condensation being
returned to the boiler by a steam pump.
A 5inch overhead main and ample re-
turns under the benches, well equipped
with valves, are expected to place the
heating under perfect control.
The plant of about 30,000 feet now in
operation includes three houses for roses,
one for palms, two for azaleas, one tor
bulbs, four for carnations, one for ferns,
one formiscellaneousplantsand a propa-
gating house. A hasty glance through
them showed the stock all In fine condi-
tion after the dark weather of December
and January. When the new house is
running Mr. Wilson expects to grow
nearly everything he needs for the down-
town store, except carnations.

Good Business Continues.
Business continues very good with
generally plenty of stock; the only flow-
ers at all scarce are No. 1 American
Beauty and Brides. Tulips, hyacinths,
narcissus, Romans, violets, lily of the
valley, mignonette and carnations are
both good and plentiful; nearly all bul-
bous stock Is very cheap. There has been
a large amount of funeral work done
which has kept white stock worked up.
The demand for flowering plants in-
creases steadily, but there is no rush for
them yet.
The Carnation Show.
The arrangements for the carna-
tion exhibition are about completed.
The show will be held in the pavilion at
the Horticultural Gardens, and no effort
will be spared to make It interesting. All
visitors from outside points will be made
welcome. Those who attend are re-
quested to register with the secretary as
soon as they arrive. The exhibition will
be held on March 7.
Horticultural Society.
Last Tuesday Dr. Fletcher, of Otta-
wa, delivered an Illustrated lecture before
the Horticultural Society. The subject
was insects and the lecturermade it very
Interesting. Dr. Fletcher Is a splendid
lecturer and thoroughly understands his
subject. There were about 150 members
and friends present and all were well
pleased. Bad weather prevented a larger
attendance.
At the recent monthly meeting of
the Horticultural Society the directors
reported that they had made arrange-
ments for a lecture by Dr. Fletcher, of
Ottawa, to be given in the auditorium
of the normal schools on March 12, and
that the mayor would act as chairman.
The lecture will be free. The president
read a very able paper by Mr. Goodall on
"Hardy Flowering Shrubs." The paper
mentioned nearly all the floweringshruba
that have been found to succeed in this
latitude, and there are agood many more
of them than most of us expected. I hope
the paper will be printed for the benefit
of the members, for the advice given will
be found very useful to any one planting
here. We hope to get a paper from the
same gentleman on"Hardy Evergreens"
before the year Is out. T. M.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y,
The regular meeting of the Dutchess
County Horticultural Society was
held February 6, A letter was received
from Messrs. Peter Henderson & Co.
offering the prize that was not com-
peted for last year, for competition for
a collection of vegetables at the new
exhibition. The prize was accepted
with thanks; also a prize of $25 from
JMessrs. Cook & McCord, Tarrytown, N.
T., of vegetables grown from the firm's
seeds. A vote of sympathy and con-
dolence was passed to James Sloan
and his family in their bereavement of
a wife and mother.
C. F. Bahret exhibited a fine bunch
of violets, and David Gindra a Blgno-
nia venusta.
The sixth annual dinner of the society
was held at the Nelson House February
12. About .'50 members and guests sat
down to one of H. N. Bains' best spreads.
Among the guests were J. H. Troy, F. E.
Pierson, Leonard Barron, J. H. Smith
and Mr. Coekburu, of the Tarrytown
Horticultural Society, and local celebri-
ties including the Hon. G. H. Hlne, mayor
of Poughkeepsie.
The dinner disposed of, the toastmas-
ter, F. B. Lown, took charge of the pro-
ceedings, and in his inimitable manner
proved himself a past master in the
work. John J . Piatt, of the Eagle, spoke
for some time in his usual intereatiug
manner. He said that once he heard a
paper read entitled the " Qualifications
of a Good Gardener," and he wished to
say that if a gardener came up to the
standard laid down in that paper heneed
take no back seat to any lawyer or
editor.
J. H. Hasbrouck, late postmaster, was
next introduced as being the only man in
Poughkeepsie who had raised a Pha>nix
dactylifera from a seed. This, it was e.x-
plained by various speakers, was a won-
derful palm, taking three years to ger-
minate, and was by others said to have

grown 10 feet in height. Mr. Hasbrouck
said he once knew a man who was ail
right except his head. The fault of the
head was that the speaking capabilities
were too large and the thinking too
small.
W. G. Gomersallcongratulated Mr. Has-
brouck upon his good fortune in being
possessed of a self-raised palm, announc-
ing that J. H. Troy had offered a silver
tea set for the best plant grown by the
exhibitor from a seed orcutting, the prize
to be competed for at the next exhibi-
tion in November. Mr. Hasbrouck, he
thought, appeared to stand a good chance
of winning that tea set.
The Hon. G. H. Hine, mayor, made a
very interesting speech, in which he an-
nounced that he would become a member
of the society, and offered a $2,5 Mayor's
prize for the best 200 violets, as last
year.
Mr. Lown next introduced "The silver
tongued orator of Poughkeepsie, Richard
Connell. Mr. Connell suggested that the
horticultural societies should endeavor
to reach theearof that great philanthro-
pist who was giving away a million a
month for organs and such like, and en-
deavor to get the trifle of a million for
flowers.
Mr. Smith and Mr. Cockburn also spoke,
threatening to come to Poughkeepsie
and take some of the trophies. F. R.
Pierson touched upon the good the hor-
ticultural society could do in this locality,
urging that theexhibitions should not be
neglected or allowed to drop, but at the
expense even of a sacrifice they should
be kept up.
J. H. Troy made a few remarks, speak-
ing highly of the last exhibition, at which
he was a judge.
The whole function passed off splen-
didly.
Carnations for decorating the tables
were sent by W. G. Saltford, Bignonia
venusta andcallas, etc.,by David Gindra,
and freesias by W. G. Gomersall.

Trade has been on the rush tor this
past week, funeral work being in the
lead. Florists generally are hampered
considerably by scarcity of stock of good
or other grades
Although the weather is very favora-
ble as to clearness, the quality of the
flowers is not all that could be desired.
Prices at retail are holding at the
highest, as seems to be the ease all over
the country, although not as high as
Chicago quotations. Best Bridesmaid,
Bride, Meteor and Golden Gate roses are
retailing at .$1.50 per dozen, with sec-
onds at $1 to $1.25. Carnations sell at
50c. to 75c., with Mrs. Thomas W. Law-
son bringing $1 per dozen. Violets are
improving steadily and bring from $1 to
$2 per 100. Hyacinths and narcissus are
plentiful and range from GOc. to 75e. per
dozen.
The first daffodils were seen during the
past week.
J. F.Wilcox, of Qouncil Bluffs, reports a
great shortage in roses and more so in
carnations.
A. Donaghue, Jr., is cutting the finest
Bridesmaid he has ever had, many of
them averaging three feet long. He re-
ports the new violet X.,a France a jewel,
superior in everj' way, but a little late.
His new store front is almost fiuished.
Hess iSc Swoboda have erected a 2i x
200 hothouse and contemplate a mate
to it, which will give them about -15,000
feet of glass.
S. B. Stewart is very busy these days
taking care of his cut-flower trade and
his new stock of seeds, which increasing
trade demands.
Peterson Bros, have a nice window of
cyclamen. B.

Lent Begins.
The Lenten season having now
started business is more quiet in the en-
tertaining line. The stores have done a
very fair business this week on regular
trade, and even on Wednesday there was
not as much of a falling off as anticipat-
ed. Flowers are more plentiful around
the wholesaleestablishments.asshipping
orders have been fewer.
Carnation Convention.
The delegation from this city to
Baltimore will not be a large one, as the
211-man bowling contest with the Cen-
tury Club, which takes place on Friday,
will keep many home who would other-
wise have attended the carnation meet-
ing. The bowling match was arranged
two months ago, and at that time the
carnation convention was not thought
of.
Ft]nn»ylvania Horticultural Society.
The meeting on Tuesday last was
well attended. The pa per by John G.Gard-
ner on Herbaceous Plants tor Lawns
aud Gardens was a good one. He divid-
ed the subject into four classes: First,
suitable plants for planting in masses on
the lawn, in connection with ornamental
grasses, etc. ; second, plants suitable to
plant in shrubberies; third, plants for
shadv places; fourth, plants for the gen-
eral "border in the open garden. Great
stress was laid on the proper prepara-
tion of the herbaceous border, and .Mr.
Gardner stated this aud the planting
also should be done by a practical gar-
dener, not by the regular lawn-mower
gardener.
Papers were also read by Francis Can-
ning on Flowering Begonias and by Geo.
Robertson on Cyclamens.
The society elected David Rust as dele-
gate to the American Pomologieal .So-
ciety's meeting, to be held in Buffalo late
in August or early in September, and it
is desired that an exhibit to represent
the society be made at that meeting ; the
fruit exhibit isexpected to be held in con-
nection with the Pan-American Exposi-
tion.
The exhibition held in connection with
the February meeting of the Pennsyl-
vania Horticultural Society was a great
success, there being about ."50 plants of
cinerarias staged and about 40 plants
of primulas. Prizes were awarded as
follows:
Primulas, Chinese— Henry A. Dreer
prize; six entries; first to .John Hobson,
gardener to Edw.A. .Schmidt, Esq., Rad-
nor.
Celery— H. F. Michell prizes; three en-
tries; first to John McCleary, gardener
to William Wcightman, Esq., German-
town; second to Thomas Holland, gar-
dener to Lincoln Godfrey, Esq., Radnor.
Violets— H. F. Michell prize; eight en-
tries: first to Chas. L'ftler, gardener to
George H. McFadden, Esq., Rosemont.
Primulas, six plants, three varieties-
Samuel T. Bodine prize; four entries;
first to Francis Canning, gardener to
Samuel T. Bodine, Esq., Villa Nova; sec-
ond to John McCleary.
Cinerarias, four plants— H. Waterer
prize; 10 entries; first to William
Fowler, gardener to Mrs. Charles Wheeler,
Bryn Mawr; second to George Robert-
son, gardener to C. B. Newbold, Esq.,
Jenkintown.
Ernest Schrieber, gardener to Wm. L.
Elkins, Esq., Ashbourne, staged a grand
lot of cinerarias not for competition and
received special mention. The following
also received special mention: John
Thatcher, gardener to Edw. Le Boutillier
Esq., Wynnewood, tor a plant of Choro-
zema varieum; John McCleary, for col-
lection ot hot house vegetables, covering
space SV> X S feet; James Hurley, gar-
dener to" James M. Rhodes, Esq., Ard-
more, tor California violets and a good
plant of begonia Paul Bruant; Charles
Urtier for roses American Beauty and
Golden Gate. Certificate for culture to
Wm. Robertson, gardener to John W.
Pepper, Esq., Jenkintown, for hot house
cauliflower. i
Special mention to Ernest Schrieber for
a good plant of RusselliaLemoinei multi-
flora.
Novel Advertising.
A. H. Lauser has adopted a novel
advertising plan at his greenhouses out
at Wayne. He has started a guessing
contest among the school children as to
how many carnation cuttings he has in
a cutting bench; the children visit the
greenhouses, look at the bench, aud place
their guess in a box. Some days there
are over 100 children present. Suitable
prizes will be awarded at the close ot the
contest. David Bust.
Providence, R. I.
Flowers oontinuescarceand great ditH-
culty is experiened in getting enough to
fill orders. There has been a large num-
ber ot social events this season, calling
tor many flowers, besides the usual plant
decorations, and the florists have to call
on outside markets to get their wants
supplied. Prices rule high on roses and
carnations. Bulbous stock finds a good
sale, for there is scarcely anything else to
be had. Violets are more plentiful and
the price has dropped to 75c. per 100.
Every day one will find the florists
busy at funeral work, owing to the rav-
ages of the grip. While there have been
no deaths among the florists, many have
been confined to their homes through the
effects of the trouble.
Among Growers.
On a visit among thegrowers I found
Farquhar Macrae potting up a strong
batch ot carnation Mrs. George M.Bradt.
He is highly pleased with White Cloud,
this being its first season here. Mrs.
Fisher and Flora Hill have held sway
here, but they will be discarded, also
Evelina. Roses are off crop, but with
the exception ot Liberty have been fair.
Pocahontas coal is burned in the Dean
boilers. Mr. Macrae says it makes better
steam than anthracite. His new houses
are well stocked. He intends attending
the carnation meeting at Baltimore, ac-
companied, most likely, by his brother
John, who may bring samples of his
grand single violets which are the talk
of the town.
Hazard Weeden Co. are picking some of
the flnest flowers ot The Marquis seen in
this locality.
Alex. Millar (li.T. Greenhouses) reports
increasing sales ot decorative stock. Many
ot his houses are devoted to the cultiva-
tion ot such plants, being found too
shaded tor roses and carnations.
William Hoffman has a great thing in
the seedling carnation Challenger, pro-
nounced by all the florists who have seen
it as being an ideal scarlet. He has also
another seedling. Twentieth Century,
bright pink, deeply fringed, that is
equal to the scarlet in point of excel-
lence. He intends going to Baltimore.
T. .J. Johnson reports good business,
having had some largeorders for decora-
tions at debutante parties. Tom is very
proud of the honor of State vice-presi-

state of Trade.
As I foreshadowed in my last, busi-
ness the past week showed up well, both
lu wholesale and retail. Shipping was
very good, partly on account of Mardi
Gras at New Orleans, and that the re-
tailers have been busy is indicated by the
hustling of the buyers in the morning.
The weather, too, helped; not," too cold,
an abundance of sun, which was respon-
sible for good stock. St. Valentine's Day
seems also to have been responsible in
part, and at last violets have had some-
thing of a boom.
There are now good roses in the mar-
ket, and extra fancy teas reached the $10
m:iik again, general stock $4 to $8;
ATiicrican.Beauties, select loug-stemmed,
.*f I to $.5 per dozen. One of the big grow-
ers has one shipping order of 4.8 dozen
lung-stemmed on the coming Thursday,
ami had no difliculty in filling the bill.
Carnations are good sellers; the bulk go
at $2 to $:H, some fancies at $4 and the
pciorer quality at $1 for cheap work.
Whites have still the call, although not
so scarce as awhile ago. Bulbous mate-
ri.il increasing in quantity; tulipsnow m
very fair shape; double daffodils are im-
prijved, but not up to fanc.v.
Hutch hyacinths, both cut and in pots,
liave increased the variety to choose
fnim; Romans and Paper Whites are
aljiiudaut. A showing of double white
feverfew are evidence of Spring time
coming.
Club Doings.
The regular meeting of the club
Filiruary 1.5 found all officers at their
posts. Edwin A. Hart, assistant super-
iiitendentof .South Parks, was elected a
member. J. A. Evans, Richmond, Ind.,
was a visitor. After disposal of the regu-
lar business of the club, EmilBuettner, of
I 'ark Ridge, gave an off-hand talk on
growing mignonette as a cut flower.
Whenever Mr. Buettuer favors the club,
tilt" originality and clever good humor of
Ills style of address is sure of a happy re-
ception. In parthe said: To grow good
mignonette, light airy houses should be
selected, and by all means good, clean
seed. The latter is of the utmost impor-
tance, and should be saved only from
greenhouse — not field-grown seed. He
uses Allen's Defiance direct from raiser,
sows in 3-inch pots in August in frames,
thinning out the plants to one or two
when large enough, shifting afterward,
as mignonette should never get pot
hound, before planting out in benches,
which he does the end of .September.
ii()od rich soil, rather heavy, is best. Mr.
I'uettner uses the same soil he grows
roses in. The plants are set one foot
apart each way; the final plant selected
iH jiiDched once, and should then furnish
four good spikes to a plant; all other
shoots should be pinched out. Some
growers, the speaker said, sow directly
Into the benches, but the pot method, for
obvious reasons, he considered prefera-
ble. He contended the Chicago market
did not pay enough to make high-grade
mignonette growing profitable, which he
considered should fetch $2 to $2.50 per
dozen wholesale, instead of half that
amount that he found nearer the returns
obtained. Machet might pay better at
low price than Defiance, as it furnishes a
succession of flowers, but he takes but
oue crop, then uses the houses for other
purposes; his crop is generally over by
end of February. Did not believe, as
some do, iu growing in a low tempera-
ture; 50 degrees was about right, except
rise in daytime. Mr. Buettuer h3s also
grown May's Giant. For pot culture he
thinks Machet the best, as did otliers in
the discussion that followed. A 5-inch
pot is plenty large enough to grow a
handsome plant of mignonette in.
Insects must be kept down, watch kept
for caterpillars and thrip is dangerous
when it gets hold. For the latter he
finds nlcoticide good.
The next subject was a paper by Ed-
win A. Kanst on what varieties of gera-
niums to grow for bedding out. This
proved a taking subject and created
some discussion as to singles and dou-
bles, this market being noted for a prefer-
encefor doubles. The paper will be given
in another column.
In a talk afterward on outside sub-
jects, Mr. Buettner gave the retailers of
this city some hard raps for not being
up to date in showing their goods off to
the best advantage, claiming they lost
trade thereby. The result of this was that
the subject is to be taken up again at the
next meeting, when others will be there
to combat him. Edgar .Sanders and Au-
gust Dressel are to talk at the next meet-
ing on the florist's business of 20 years
ago.

Round About.
George Piepgrass is around again
after a three weeks' sick spell.
J. A. Budlong is remodeling his whole-
sale store and preparing to put in a new
cooler, which will facilitate handling his
increasing trade.
Peter IJeinberg is cutting some fine
America carnations.
.John lilanck is acting as manager of
the Ilrexel Floral Co., opposite his old
I)lace of bueinces.
Nick Robs, of I':di8on Park, Niles, III.,
formerly kept a grocery, but now pro-
poses going into the growing of roses
and carnations for the Chicago market.
So far as we can learn only J. U.
Thompson, James Hartshorne, N. J.
Wieter and James E. Wilson go from this
city to Baltimore. Ess.
Buffalo.
Trade now takes on a truly quiet spirit,
though some functions that called for
bits of decorating and a moderate call
for funeral work have somewhat livened
matters. Flowers are amply plentiful
locally lu most kinds, anil window dis-
pla.vB are profuse with blooms, tulips
and daffodils doing their showy share.
A good covering of snow is on the gron nd .
It is given out, we believe reliably, that
the local craftsmen attending the Baiti
more carnation meeting will include
Messrs. William Scott, W. J. Palmer, W.
F. Kastlng and C. T. Guenther of Ham-
burg, N. Y. ViDi.
Cincinnati.
Market Notes.
Business continues good, with
flowers scarce, there being not nearly
enough to fill all orders.
All eyes are now turned toward Balti-
more, and by the time these notes reach
the readers the American Carnation So-
ciety will have climbed one more step in
the ladder of fame, and much useful in-
formation will have been Imparted to the
craft in general. W. K. Partridge, of I.ock-
land, informs me that owing tothe death
of one of his men, which occurred Sun-
day, February ii, it will be doubtful if he
can attend the convention. This will
make one less exhibit, as Mr. Partridge
would have put up a good display.
Fred Dorner, Jr., is In the city to-day
(February 12); he will join the Cincin-
nati delegation to Baltimore.
Valentine's Day this year seemed to
cut quite a figure iu the sale of flowers,
many more being used than usual. J. A.
Peterson had a very pretty window dis-
play, arranged b.v .Mr. Davis, his man-
ager, consisting of a large heart made of
red Immortelles for a centerpiece with
handsome ferns and other plants and
flowers surrounding it.
Fred Gear's new store presents a very
fine appearance and Mr. Gear says his
trade is much imi)roved by the change.
I understand that J. A. Peterson will
soon occupy a store on Walnut Street,
opposite the skyscraper, which is one of
the tiest locations in the city.
The Walnut Hills Floral Bazaar will
close their .\vondale branch.

Points and Information from seedsmen, and
all Interested In this column, solicited. Ad-
dressEniTORSEED TBADE.careof Flobists'
ElcHANOE, p. O. Box 1697, New Tork.
BattleCreek, Mich.— H. W.Landreth
has disposed of the good will and fix-
tures connected with his seed business to
Keruan Bros., 54 Division .Street.
New York. — In the interest of the
General Bulb Company, Vogelenzang
(Holland), J. C. Hillebrand, who has
just arrived in this country, will visit the
trade here this year. His address will
be careof Aug. Ehotert, 26 Barclay Street.
Kansas City, Mo. — Joseph G. Peppard,
of the Peppard Seed Compan.v, is IJaring
plans prepared tor the construction of a
monster seed warehouse. It will be
three stories high, and will be long
enough to afford switching privileges for
15 cars.
Shenandoah, la. — On February 20
the big seed corn establishment of Bater-
liin & Sons was completely gutted and
over 15,000 bushels of selected corn, to-
gether with the offices, etc., were de-
stroyed. The blaze is supposed to be of
incendiary origin.
European Notes.
Winter in a more rigorous form is with
us still, and the whole of Europe from
Russia to the Atlantic, and from Rome
to the north pole is under its irou heel.
As little snow has fallen during the past
weelt the unprotected plants in the open
appear to be suffering badly. The out-
look is certainly not encouraging.
The frozen condition of the soil checlts
tradeall round and prevents the sowings
for our annual crops. The early deliver-
ies of radish and spinach demanded by
our American friends, necessitate extra
early sowinus of the stock seed. This en-
tails considerable risk in a season such
as this; for valuable stock seed takes
many years to produceand cannot easily
be replaced. It is therefore probable that
very eaily deliveries of these articles will
be the exception next season.
The excellent work done by Cannell in
hybridizing some of the finest forms of
Primula sinensis with what is known as
" The Lady " section deserves more than
a passing notice. In Queen of Holland
white, zoned with mauve; Eucharis, a
shining pure white; Firefly, a brilliant
and effective red, and Kentish Queen, a
very large, pure white flower, of fine
form, and good substance, perfection
appears to be reached. While the forego-
ing are of special interest to florists, they
are also worthy of attention on the part
of the retail seed dealer, on account of
the ease with which they can be grown
as also the vigor of habit, and their
floriferousneess. The individual flowers
are large and well displayed; they stand
well on the stem and are thus free from
the objections that have been urged to
the stellata strain.
Anew red colored variety of the crested
or Bush Hill cyclamen has made Its ap-
pearance, but it will not be possible to
offer seed of it for two or three years.
Edropean Seeds.
Cold weather with snow prevails over
the whole of France, Italy, Germany and
Switzerland. A blizzard of exceptional
violence is raging throughout southern
Russia. Roumania is snowbound. Navi-
gation of the Rhine is difficult owing to
ice at the mouth.

The Alabama Nursery Co. of Hunts-
ville will open a branch office in St.
Louis. It will be In charge of Herbert
and Henry Chase.
Horticultural societies are too slightly
appreciated. They should be at once
recognized as agencies for the welfare of
all the people and ought to be richly en-
dowed. I would lilse to have horticul-
tural societies In every county in the
State, with buildings of their own and
holding large exhlbtions at suitable sea-
eons. The result would be to stimulate
a love for horticulture and promote the
culture of fruits and flowers. — Pres.
Farnum, R. I. Hort. Society.
A large delegation of Rochester nurs-
erymen visited Albany for the purpose of
arguing against the pending legisiatiun
to malie compulsory fumigation neces-
sary. Notwithstanding the arguments
presented, it is understood that Mr.
Phipps, chairman of committee and au-
thor of the bill, will insist upon a favora-
ble report on it, and judging from the
questions aslsed by other members, it
would seem that several of the commit-
tee coincided with him as to the expedi-
ency of enacting the bill into law. Mr.
Saiyerds, of Monroe, is on the commit-
tee, and he will fight hard against a fa-
vorable report.
Sioux Falls, S. D.— D. F. Harrington
has secured control of the seedling apple
orchard of J. G. Tyler.
Belmond, la.— S. D. Rathbun, pro-
prietor of the Rathbun nursery and one
of the pioneers of Hancock County, la.,
died at his home February 14. The
cauge of death was paralysis.
Inspection of Nurseries in New York
State. — The inspectors of nurseries while
engaged in their work of 1900 gathered
an estimate of the quantity of different
kinds of nursery stock, and the following
is a summary: Number of nurseries to
which certificates were granted, 399;
acres in same, 6,005'/2; acres in vine-
yards from which cuttings are taken for
propagation, 896. Estimated number
apple trees, 8,830,217; pear trees,
4,755,135: plum trees, 3,493,122; cherry
trees. 3,955,892; peach trees, 2,823,363;
quince trees, 718,363; apricot trees, 77,-
016; total nuraberof fruit trees, 25, 655,-
311. Estimated number ornamental
trees, 3,521,606; shrubs, 4,815,868;
currants, 4, 263,224; gooseberries, 80,-
188; grape vines, 11,793,139. Number
of acres in raspberries, 233''4 ; blackber-
ries, 80%; strawberries, ISSVi-
In addition to the above work some
attention was given to orchards and
vineyards, as follows: Number of or-
chards examined. 153; number of vine-
yards examined, 76; number of acres in
orchards, 3,063^2: number of orchards
in which San Jos6 scale was found, 46.
Total number apple trees, 42,637; pear
trees, 33,062; dwarf pear trees, 3,030;
plum trees, 21,068; peach trees, 260,875;
cherry trees, 17,590; apricot trees, 284;
quince trees, 725; currants, 872,720.
What portion in bearing, two-thirds.
Acres in strawberries, 143; raspber-
ries, 661/2; blackberries, 22; gooseber-
ries, 4V4.
Fruit Stocks. — The present season Is
witnessing the use of a very great quan-
tity of fruit stocks of all descriptions,
which is pretty good evidence of the
nurserymen's belief in the continued call
for fruit trees. When thought is given to
the vastness of our country in its extent
and to Its ever-increasing population,
there seems reason to believe that
whether good times or bad times exist,
there will always be a market for fruit.
Trees take some years to bear, and often
the ground they occupy is of no great
value, leading to the conclusion that the
planting of an orchard is as good a thing
as one could do.
The presentseason finds the inquiry for
Mahaleb cherry stock very great, but this
is because of a shortage in the crop, and
not thatmorecherriesaretobe produced.
There are particularfruit stocks mainly
produced abroad, in France, chiefly, and
others which are mostly grown here.
The Mahaleb cherry is given to Kurope,
also Myrobolan plum, pear and quince,
aa well as other stocks to a lesser degree.
Perhaps the only sort in which we lead
is the apple, of which enormous quanti-
ties are grown in the West. Quite a
quantity of plum, of both Myrobolan
and Mariana, are also produced, as well
as most all other stocks in lesser quanti-
ties. Peach seedlings are altogether a
home product. Cherries and pears are
not as much attempted, as earlier experi-
ments were not encouraging, owing to
the prevalence of blight, but this Is now
overcome by the use of spraying mix-
tures.
For two or three years past Kietfer
pear seed has been sown, and has result-
ed in producing some fine, strong seed-
lings, which resist blight very well with-
out spra.ying. The experiment of using
these seedlings for stocks tor the old class
of pears, Bartlett and the like, is a too
new one to pronounce on its adaptability.
The Le Conte, a cousin of the Kietter, as
supposed, has not proved a good stock,
but this is conceded to be because of its
lack of roots, caused by the stocks hav-
ing been produced from cuttings. Kietfer
seedlings have an abundance of roots, so
that if the union is congenial in other re-
spects good results may be looked tor.
And it would transfer much of the pear
stock industry here, as Kietter pear seed
is a home product, owing to the great
qantities of these pears now grown for
our markets.
Appearances indicate that nurserymen
may still plan for a continued call for
fruit trees.
The Banana Shrub, Magnolia Fus-
cata.— This beautiful little bush Magno-
lia fuscata is a Chinese species, which,
unfortunately, is nothardy in the North;
but in the South it is at home, and is
valued very much, as it is evergreen, and
bears brownish yellow flowers of sweet,
banana-like fragrance. A single bloom
open at a time is sufiicient to fill a room
with delightful odor. It makes a nice
pot plant, selling readily when in this
shape and In flower, as It is easily kept
in Winter, requiring a temperature but a
few degrees above freezing. In this re-
spect it is a fit companion to the Olea
fragrans, another Chinese plant, which
bears clusters of white flowers, power-
fully yet delicately fragrant. It is
claimed that this plant is hardy in Penn-
sylvania, but I have never tested it. The
tact is that many of this class of plants
from China and Japan, as well as some
from southern Europe, would live out in
favorable situations, but could not be
planted anywhere.
Mrs. Thomas A. Scott, widow of
the late Thomas A. Scott, vice-presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania R. R., died
at her city residence, Philadelphia, on
February 21. Mrs. Scott was an ar-
dent lover of horticulture, and took
great delight in her beautiful country
home on the banks of Darby Creek, near
Lansdowne, Pa. Because of this love tor
flowers and the encouragement she gave
her able gardener, Joseph McGregor, his
name was frequently met with in the list
of successful competitors at the Pennsyl-
vania Horticultural Society's exhibitions.
It is to be hoped the place will be kept
up by some of the children, of which there
are several. Joseph Meehan.

Again this has proveo the most prolific and profitable
variety we ever grew, giving us so far fully 75 percent,
more bloom than Ethel Crocker and eight other vari-
eties under the same conditions. On some 2iK)0 plants
not a single split calyx, where Crocker and seme other
have split badly. Flowers as large as Scott, very fra-
grant; a fine shade of light rose-pink. After five years'
trial it has proved the best all-around variety we have ever grown. Have discarded Scott.

EDITION Saturday, March 23
The American Carnation Society.
The tenth annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Carnation Society was not fraught
with any very startling developments,
excepting, pertiaps, the surprising rapidi-
ty with which the subscription list to
the reserve fund, headed by Dick Witter-
stiBtter's $100, swelled to the goodly
sum of $1,200, with more in sight.
This idea of having a sinking or reserve
fund is a most excellent one, and wehope
the desire of the members to see that fund
standing at the $5,000 mark will be
accomplished la the very near future.
Another step in the right direction is
the incorporation of the society. Every
association of this kind should have a
legal status, and be in a position to
accept all munihcent gifts of a character
similar to those in contemplation by Mr.
Ward. The provision for life-membership
will also add to the permanency of the
society's treasury, and will doubtless be
taken advantage of by many interested
in the association and its work.
It is gratifying to see the tangible in-
terest taken in the society by amateurs,
as exemplified by money donations to
the prize list. This feature is likely to
receive a greater stimulus when Robert
Craig's announcement that membership
in the society is open to all carnation
lovers has been fully considered. Such
practical proof of the public's enthusiasm
In the achievements of the members of the
American Carnation Society must Indeed
be encouraging to those who direct and
guide the society's affairs.
As has already been said, the standard
of quality of the flowers exhibited sur-
passed that of fhe previous year. This,
of course, is only the natural sequence of
persistent effort on the part of carnation
growers. The variety Mrs. Thomas. W.
Lawson was the acknowledged leader in
the exhibition, the flowers shown by the
originator being marvels as regards size,
stem and color. Among the newer kinds
the certiflcated varieties Dorothy Whit-
ney, Cressbrook, Norway, Harry Fenn,
and Golden Beauty will now be the sub-
jects of those frank expressions of opinion
from cultivators to which the varieties
similarly honored previously have fallen
heirs.
We believe it was a little unfortunate
that the " Instructions to the Judges of
Seedlings" went through without dis-
cussion. Those responsible tor the pres-
entation of these "instructions" have
laid down nodeflnite lines of comparison
for any attribute possessed by the flower,
still leaving very much to the knowledge,
good taste, and capabiUty of the judges.
More especially is such definiteness desira-
ble with respect to form. "Comparison
shall be had with such existing variety
as shall show the best form," says the
instructions. What is the best form? We
all have a more or less intimate and cor-
rect knowledge of an Individual color,
provided some one color is set up as a
standard. We can tell by ocular demon-
stration whether one variety is larger
than another, and whether its stem is
more rigid and longer than that of its
neighbor. Substance we can also deter-
mine. The intactness of the calyx is pos-
sible of discovery, as is also the greater
fragrance, provided in the latter case the
judges are endowed with normal olfac-
tories. Most all the foregoing attributes
can be reduced to a point beyond much
question; but in thematterof form thers
is so great a diversity of opinion that we
should have thought some explanatory
information necessary to a correct con-
clusion and judgment. The " undefined "
character of the "instructions," more
especially with respect to the attributes
of form and color, is, we think, to be re-
gretted. Doubtless the author or au-
thors of the "instructions" looked for
that discussion which did not ensue to put
the various points under consideration
on a better working basis for compara-
tive judging than that in which they
were submitted. So the scale still stands
as an " undefined standard" to judge by.
A Correction.
Editor Florists^ Exchange:
In your notes on the Baltimore carna-
tion convention I notice that you have
given Pennock Bros, credit for a ribbon
display. This is an error. We made the
display. You had it correct in one col-
umn; in another it is wrong.
Samuel S. Pennock.
Stem Rot.
Professors Duggarand Stewart, in Bul-
letin 18G, January, 1901, of the Botaui-
cal Division of Cornell University Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, Ithaca,
N. Y., present a preliminary report upon
the occurrence of diseases of plants in
America, caused by different forms of the
sterile fungus rhizoctonia. The bulletin
states that this disease is the cause of
stem rot in carnations, a fact which has
been proven conclusively by inoculation
experiments with pure cultures repeated
many times. In greenhouse benches the
disease spreads slowly through the soil
from one plant to another; but, accord-
ing to the experiments made, never
through the air, as from one bench to
another. Its principal mode of dissem-
ination is by means of affected plants
and cuttings.
This rhizoctonia is also known to at-
tack mature plants of Asparagus Spreu-
geri, China asters. Sweet Williams, Core-
opsis lanceolata, violets, phlox and pyre-
thrum; and has been found on damped-
ott cuttings of begonia, coleus, verbena,
hydrangea, hardy candytuft and mam-
moth sage.
As regards preventive measures, the
bulletin states that plants glowing
under the most favorable conditions of
moisture, temperature, and nutrition
will probably show marked resistance to
the attacks of such diseases, so that good
sanitary conditions are of the first im-
portance. An excess of moisture and the
presence of freshly decayine plant prod-
ucts in the soil will unquestionably
favor the disease. Particularly in the
propagating and forcing benches is a fre-
quent change of soil advisable. The fun-
gus grows well upon acid media, and
liming of the soil is therefore well; but
this of itself is not thoroughly effective.
If the fungus should become a serious
pest in greenhouses, it may sometimes
prove practicable to sterilize the soil
with steam or with hot water.
A Standard Nomenclature.
The scientific names of plants are a
great bother. Unfortunately they are
necessary. It is a pity that they are
always changing. No lover of plants
likes to pay good money for an old plant
under a new name. The synonyms are
endless, and the nurseryman and gar-
dener cannot always tell which name to
use. Many people blame the botanists
for the present state of anarchy. The
trouble is largely with the plants them-
selves. Botany is not an exact science
and never can be. As the knowledge of
the vegetable kingdom extends the names
of plants are bound to change. The best
that can be done is to follow the best
authority.
Until recently the best authorities for
garden purposes were Index Kewensis
and Nicholson's Dictionary of Gardening.
Now the best authority for America is
the Cyclopedia of American Horticulture,
which will be completed in 1901. Two
volumes have been published, including
A to M. At the time these volumes were
published they contained all the names
of plants known to be sold in America.
They also include hundreds of wild
flowers which one might notthink are in
cultivation. Of course new plants are
coming in and the Cyclopedia will soon
be behind in this respect, but a small vol-
ume is hoped for in which the novelties
will be described, if suflicient interest is
expressed. Such volumes will doubtless
contain a cumulative Index, so that one
need not look in more than two places
for an account of any plant cultivated in
America. It is to be hoped that all who
think such a series of annual volumes
necessary will show their interest by
urging the publishers (the Macmillan
Company) to undertake this work in
order to keep the Cyclopedia of American
Horticulture always up to date.— Cata-
logue of F. H. Horsford, Vermont.
The suggestion of Mr. Horsford is a
good one. At present the standard of
nomenclature recognized by the S. A. F.
O. H. is Nicholson's Dictionary of Gar-
dening. The adoption of the Cyclopedia
as the standard would seem worthy of
consideration by that body.
The types made it read in last week's
issue that the certificated variety Doro-
thy Whitney had scored 97 points. The
number awarded was 87.
The weather man of the United States
Department of Agriculture is turning his
attention to matters other than prog-
nostications of hail, snow, rain and wind
storms, and has devoted a portion of hia
time to the creation of a bulletin on the
subject of " Protection of Food (and
other) Productsfrom Injurious Tempera-
tures," for the benefit of farmers and
others. In the plethora of data contained
in this interesting pamphlet (Farmers'
Bulletin 125) the fulluwing information
on the storage of florists' products is
vouchsafed: "The best conditions for
the preservation of cut roses, smilax, as-
paragus and ferns is a moist tempera-
ture of 42 to 50 degrees; for carnations,
violets, sweet peas, lilies, lily of the val-
ley, a dry temperature of 50 to GO de-
grees.
" Young fruit trees, flowering shrubs
and plants are injured by temperatures
below 3() degrees.
"All tree seeds, including peach, plum,
walnut, etc., sprout better in the Spring
if frozen during the Winter. Bulbs, in-
cluding tulips, lilies and hyacinths, are
not injured if subjected to a temperature
below zero."
It is further stated that flowers
" packed in moss" in ordinary packages
unprotected may be subjected without
injury to an outside temperature of 35
degrees; in ordinary freight cars, 20 de-
grees: in refrigerator or specially pre-
pared ears, 10 degrees below zero. These
are the "lowest outside temperatures."
We wonder how many shipments ol
flowers are made in freight cars!
In the case of " shrubs, roses or trees"
in canvas or sacking, under similar
transportation conditions, the lowest
outside temperatures from which no in-
jury will result are 35 degrees, 10 degrees
and 10 degrees below zero, respectively.
The bulletin deals with the whole
gamut of perishable goods, from ginger
ale to yeast.
We congratulate Brother Ruddon hav-
ing received what may be termed a
" quasi-indorsement" of his views on
temperature matters from such exalted
authority as the United States weather
man; yet, so far as carnations are con-
cerned, as well as the other flowers men-
tioned, we believe the temperature given
in the bulletin, 50 to 60 degrees, will, on
reading, be provocative of a smile from
the practical and experienced florist, in-
cluding, of course, Mr. Rudd himself.
American Rose Society.
As the date of the rose show to be held
at the Waldorf-Astoria, New York, ap-
proaches, lively interest is manifested on
all sides. The growers are getting into
line and the public enthusiasm is at a
high pitch.
Many additions have been made to the
prize schedule and a revised edition has
been issued. Wedding decorations for
which handsome cash prizes are offered
will be made a feature of the last day.
On the second day there will be competi-
tion in table decorations, while mantel
and mirror work will be shown on the
first day.
The plans of the floor space available
for the exhibition, March 19, 20 and 21
have been distributed tointending exhib"
itors. Otto Buseck has been engaged as
the managerof the show and has opened
ofiices at 42 West 28th Street. It is
hoped that for the best results for all
concerned, intending exhibitors wiU
make early notifications of their inten-
tious. This is particularly necessary in
the present case as the most effective dis-
posal of the material exhibited is the ob-
ject of the society. If exhibitors give
timely notice they will have no reason to
complain of inadequate accommodation.
The ballroom of the Waldorf-Astoria will
be effectively laid out in the form of a
garden with allequipmentscomplete. The
boxes which have been offered at $30
each are practically all sold. It is ex-
pected that Vice-president Roosevelt will
attend on the evening of the first day.
The exhibition will be open to the pub-
lic at 3 p. m., but staging must be finished
by 1 o'clock. This arrangement of the
hours will give every possible opportu-
nity for exhibitors to complete their
staging. The rule will be rigidly enforced
and exhibits not complete by the hour
specified will have to remain unfinished.
Exhibitors will assist matters very con-
siderably by sending early notice of entry
to the secretary, 130 Liberty Street, New
York City.

OBITUARY.
John Galvin.
By the death of John Galvin, on Sat-
urday last, at his late home, 511 Wash-
ington Street, Dorchester, Mass., there
passes away the oldest florist of I5oston
and vielDity.
Mr. Galvin was born in Med way, Kent,
England, more than seventy-eight years
ago, removing to Mount Talbot, County
of Roscommon, Ireland, when little more
than two years old, at which place lie
received his education and laid the foun-
dation of the nursery and landscape gar-
dening business, which was destined to
make him famous in later life. When 18
years of age Mr. Galvin emigrated to
America, and followed up hlschosen pro-
fession as gardener in New York and
later in Boston. Whileconducting green-
houses ot his own in West Ro.^bury, the
idea of placing order boxes in the large
grocery and other stores in the shopping
district, where llower buyers left their
orders, was conceived. These boxes
were visited two or three times a week
and the orders filled. After conducting
his business in this way for some time,
Mr. Galvin saw the possibilities of a retail
flower store. He opened his store, the
flrat in Boston, on Beacon Street. Shortly
afterward, in company with a Mr.
Hogan, an extensive business was built
up in Somerville, this being about 40
years ago. In this store, at different
times, many of the prominent Boston
florists of to-day served their apprentice-
ships. Wm. E. Doyle, Thomas W.Dee and
the lateCaptain Minton were a few of the
apt pupils of Boston's pioneer florist.
The business so well carried on by the
old gentleman has been greatly Increased,
and of late years passed to his son,
Thomas F. Galvin, who now conducts a
very successful business at 12-1 Tremont
Street and at the corner ot Boylston and
Fairfield Streets.
Mr. Galvin served for many years as
city forester under eight successive
mayors — an excellent indorsement of his
abilities. Much ot the credit for placing
the PublicGarden whereit stands to-day
as one of the most beautiful public parks
iu America is due to the skill ot Mr. Gal-
vin. It was during his term as city for-
ester that operations were commenced
for laying out this park.
Personally Mr. Galvin was an excep-
tional man. Brimful of wit and good
nature, he had a pleasant word for every-
body, and was the life of any party of
whicli he was a member. He seldom
missed an opportunity to be with the
Old Guard on their outings, and if by
chance he was unable to attend, his ab-
sence was quickly noticeable. His"Mc-
Carthy-Maloney " song will long be re-
membered.
The deceased was a charter member of
the Gardeners and Forists' Club of Bos-
ton and an early member of the Society
of American Florists and the Massachu-
setts Horticultural Society, besides many
other sucleties. It will be remembered
on one excursion of the Gardeners and
Florists' Club to Rocky Point, some 1-1
years ago, Mr. Galvin met with a severe
and painful injury, caused by a platform
giving way, breaking his leg.
A short time after this accident his
many friends In the club presented him
with an elegant gold-headed cane, which
he prized hi^i'ly and always carried. At
his silver-wedding anniversary a few
years ago his friends again testified to
the esteem in which he was held by pre-
senting him with a handsome dmner set.
At the funeral, held Tuesday at St.
Peter's Church, Meeting House Hill, the
craft was well represented. The floral
display at the home was a magnificent
one. Among the many at the church the
following prominent florists and garden-
ers were noticed; E. M. Wood, F. L.
Harris, Jackson Dawson, P. Norton, M.
H. Norton, P. Welch, Lawrence Cotter,
Edward Hatch, N. F. McCarthy, J. M.
Shea, Warren Ewell, James McManus,
James Coleman, David Monteith and
Wm. Dodguo. F. J. N.
In the provisions of what is called a
" compromise bill " which was agreed
upon by the Eastern Nurserymen's Legis-
lative Committee and the Legislative
Committee of the Western Horticul-
tural Society of New York, and which,
it is said, both committees are to sup-
port at Albany next winter, provided
more nurseries are found infested with
the San tIos6 scale than wereUist, section 2
of the bill says : " The provisions ot this
act shall not apply to florists' green-
house plants, flowers and cuttings com-
monly known as greenhouse stock."

American Carnation Society.
TENTH ANNUAL MEETING,
Baltimore, Md., February 21 and 22, 1901.
Continuation of Report.
The Carnation in
Health and Disease.
Discussion of Professor Woods' Paper.
(See pp. 18S.1S9).
Robert Craig: I would like to asli
whether you thinlj these spots on the
leaves arenotsometimes caused by other
things besides aphides and thrips.
Professor Woods: They are caused by
red spider occasionally.
Mr. Craig: Not by anything else?
Professor Woods: Weil, the leaves may
be punctured by other insects. In other
plants the spots are caustd by leaf hop-
pers, and practically by all sucking in-
sects.
Mr.Craig: Thereason I asked the ques-
tion is because I have seen these spots
where there was no possibility of any in-
sect; where the plants were covered with
tobacco dust; where tobacco had been
used on the walks, the houses fumigated
occasionally, and still that spot would
appear, so I wondered whether you knew
of any other cause. The case I have in
mind is one where it would not be possi-
ble to have any insects after such insecti-
cides had been used so steadily.
Professor Woods: That brings out a
very important point which I had in my
paper, but neglected to speak of, namely,
that these spots do not appear until
some time after the punctures are made.
It is sometimes two or three weeks after
the puncture is made before the irrita-
tion is sufficient to produce the disease.
If the aphides are permitted to increase
after fumigation and the diseased foliage
cleaned off, the young growth will hate
been punctured, but it will not show the
slightest sign of the disease for a week or
ten days. Then the minutest spots will
begin to appear, and finally the disease
will appear to be developing under con-
ditions where there are no insects, and
the plants may be covered with tobacco
dust as described.
Mr. Craig: Then you think if the in-
sects are prevented entirely from attack-
Iner the leaves you will not have any dis-
ease?
Professor Woods: We never had spots
produced in any other way but by insects
spoken of and mites. It is exceedingly
difficult to keep them off plants. We
used hydrocyanic gas to kill them. To-
bacco smoke would only kill 50 or GO per
cent, of the insects; hydrocyanic acid
gas is the only thing to completely de-
stroy them. The carnation is very sensi-
tive to thisacid.so that it has to be used
with great caution. We were able by its
use, as I have said, to completely rid the
plants of all insect pests. The new
growth that developed on these plants
did not have any spot of any kind and
was perfectly free from disease. Insects
were then colonized on the plants, and
the leaves on which they were working
would always show the spot in from a
week to ten days or longer, according
to the rapidity of growth. A puncture
made in a young leaf will show quicker
than one made in a half-grown leaf. No
effect at all is produced where the insect
punctures a full-grown leaf. We experi-
mented with plants in sets of 50 to 100,
so that there might be a sufficient num-
ber of control plants in every case to in-
sure correct conclusions.
I do notsay but thatin the future some
one will find bacteria that may produce
a similar disease, but I have riever seen
eases of the disease which were produced
in any other way except by aphides,
thrips and red spider in the four to five
years we have been studyingthls disease.
Mr. Craig: Then you think it you keep
the red spider, the thrips and the green
fly absolutely away you will not have
any of this disease?
Professor Woods: You will never have
any of these light-colored spots. I feel
sure of that, because I don't know of any
insects that work on carnations under
glass in the way that these insects do.
As I stated, there is one peculiar feature
of the disease distinct from the spot, and
that is the general weakening of the
plant by the withdrawal of the reserve
nitrogenous food. The weakening of the
plant can be produced In a number of dif-
ferent ways. It can be produced by any
serious injury to the roots of tlie plant
or by cutting the plant back severely.
Whenever this starved condition is pro-
duced by a lack of reserve nitrogen ex-
cessive oxidization takes place in the
cells. A substanceknownas the oxidizing
ferment called enzyme develops in exces-
sive quantities and seriously interferes
with the normal processes of cell nutri-
tion. In fact, the cell consumes ilself.
When the plant once gets into this condi-
tion it is impossible for it to recover.
This oxidizing ferment that I speak of
destroys another ferment which the cell
uses for changing starch into sugar.
This prevents the plant from making
a proper use of its food materials, and a
general weakening sets in. The plant
does not die, and ma.v not ordinarily ap-
pear to be very much diseased. Unless
the trouble was started by insects no
so-called mosaic disease of the tobacco Is
of the same pathological nature, though
not caused by insects or parasites of any
kind. In the case of theinsect it produces
the spot on the leaf. In the case of In-
jury to the roots or cutting back it gives
a light color to the plant.
The pathology of the so-called Bermu-
da lily disease Is of the same nature as
this. The reserve nitrogen of the bulb is
not available to the growing stem. In
this case it seems to be due to trying to
force the bulb before it is mature or
under unfavorable conditions. In the
first bulletin printed on the lily disease
that point was not brought out. This
year the experiments have been com-
pleted and show conclusively that the so-
called disease is traceable directly to the
weakening of the bulbs as suggested.
These weak plants are very sensitive to
puncture by green fly, as in the case of
carnations.
It has often been said that if you handle
your plants properly and give them good
conditions of growth, they won't become
diseased. There is more in that state-
ment than appears on the surface. The
general methods of handling a plant are
sometimes more responsible for its trou-
bles than are the plant's parasitic ene-
mies. It is not the spot that is danger-
ous. It is the pathological condition of
the plant. In the case of the spot we

spots will appear. This condition may
have been started either by severe cut-
ting back, injury to the roots, or in any
other way. The plants in question will
be very much more sensitive to insects
when they are attacked ; in tact, we have
found, as I have described in the paper,
that insects will breed very rapidly on
such plants, and the spots which thev
produce will appear much quicker than
on strong, vigorous plants. If you take
a cutting from one of these weakened
plants, it will remain sensitive to insects
and other parasites from four to five gen-
erations, and will finally die or run out.
And this is so in a dozen other kinds of
plants produced by cuttings in the same
way. This pathological condition is not
transmitted through seed at all; but is
transmitted through cuttings, and the
stagnated condition into which the plant
gets it is impossible to ever overcome.
Under normal conditions there is usually
from 30 to 40 percent, of reserve nitrogen
in a healthy plant; In a diseased plant
this is sometimes reduced to 1 or 2 per
cent., and the plants are theref<ire living
upon a very narrow margin. They are
very sensitive and will succumb quickly
to almost any disease.
We have produced this weakened con-
dition artlflclaily in the case of violets,
carnMtlons and half a dozen other plants
which we have under obstrvatloD. The
simply know we have got to fight the
insects.
William Scott: We know that every
disease is traced to a specific bacillus;
even a friend I havein mind believes that
lying is produced by Bacillus prevarica-
tus. [Laughter.] I would like to ask the
professor If he can account for the ban-
ishing of the rust, which was one of the
most prominent diseases In the carna-
tion. I understand it is not a bacillus,
but a fungus. I believe I will be corrobo-
rated by a majority of the growers in
saying that rust was a great scourge
seven or eight years ago. Now we con-
sider it almost harmless. But few of us
who have had rust had any specific cure
for It; simply giving fresh air and look-
ing carefully after hygienic conditions.
Professor Woods: Well, 1 do not know
that I can. I can simply make a sugges-
tion. As Mr. Scott has said, rust is a
parasitic disease produced b.v a specific
fungus germ, the plant of which sends
out a small thread-like growth down be-
tween the breathing pores and which
gets Into the inside of the leaf. This
thread-like growth goes between the
cells all through the plant down Into the
root. It sucks sugar and other food
from the cells. When you go Into the
greenhouse and see only a few leaves that
have the rust spots appearing on them
you pinch off the leaves. If the plant
happens to be pretty strong and the fun-
gus has a hard time to steal its food, it
may not produce these spore pustules in
great numbers, and perhaps not at all in
some conditions of the plant, though the
disease is present In the tissues. Cut-
tings made from such plants would, of
course, carry the disease over, and It
would be propagated at the same time
as the carnation, and might break out
later in the characteristic pustules of
brown dust-like spores. One reason,
therefore, why there Is less rus( now than
formerly is that the growers are more
careful not to propagate from diseased
plants.
The care which is taken In keeping the
foliage dry is one of the very best means
of preventing the development of this
disease, because the spores of the fungus
have got to have moisture to germinate.
They cannot germinate on a dry leaf,
and unless the moisture is present they
cannot get inside the plant. Careful hy-
giene and treatment have prevented this
disease, as most other diseases. I do not
think that the man who gives proper at-
tention to the general health of his plants
will have any trouble with these specific
diseases. If he sees that the plants have
the right kind of soil, the right amount
of air, water and light; when he goes
Into his greenhouse and can tell how the
plants feel and correct any condition that
Is wrong, I do not believe that he will be
bothered with any of these diseases. I
think the worst of them is stem rot.
Mr.Craig: Have you any theory or
do yon know the cause of stem rot?
Professor Woods: Well, I know that
stem rot Is produced by two distinct
kinds of fungi. I ana afraid I will tres-
pass on somebody else's ground. I
understand there is to be a discussion of
stem rot here to-night.
Secretary Herr: There will be a gen-
eral discussion among the growers.
Mr. Craig : Ton need not be afraid of
them ; they do not know anything about
it. [Laughter.]
Professor Woods: The stem rot which
we know, samples of which have been
sent in to us by many florists, is pro-
duced by two distinct kinds of fungi. One
has been recently described in a bulletin
just published b.y Mr. Stewart and Mr.
Duggar, of the New York Experiment
Station, and Is known as Bhizoctonla.
It is a sterile fungus which does not pro-
duce any spores and has no way of dis-
semination through the air; It is dis-
seminated entirely through the soil and
in cuttings. This Rhizoctonia Is a root-
like fungus and grows on or near the sur-
face of the soil. It gets into the root of
the carnation through any little injury
or crack in the base of the stem or the
upper portion of the root. We have no-
ticed that the Rhizoctonia has been more
prevalent this year in certain quarters
than it has been before for some time. It
seems to be more prevalent wherever
carnations have been taken out of a dry
soil and moved into the greenhouse, and
where it took some time for the plants to
take hold of the soil. They looked sickly,
especially those plants which had evi-
dently been injured in the taking out. I
have no doubt at all but that It will
attack a perfectly healthy plant under
certain conditions, but it appears to
thrive best on weak or injured plants.
The otherdlsease Is the one that occurs
In the original home of the carnation in
the south of France, and has been very
recently described by one of the French
botanists. It is produced by a Fusarlum,
and is an entirely different fungus from
the one just spoken of, being more para-
sitic and more Inclined to attack a
healthy plant than the other fungus.
The Fusarlum disease Is not BO prevalent
in this country as is the Khizoctonla. It
does occur, however, and has been de-
scribed by Professor Atkinson. A num-
ber of cases have also been studied by
Messrs. Duggar and Stewart. Where we
get one case of Fusarium rot, we get a
dozen of the other. The Fusarium fungus
grows in the water vessels or ribs of the
leaf. It does not go out so much Into
the softer tissues until the plant is dead.
In the Rhizoctonia, or soft rot, first de-
scribed, if you take hold of the base of
the stem and twist it, the skin will
come rightoff. Theother one(FuBarlum)
does not do that. It Is a kind of dry rot.
If you break thestem yon will find a sort
of pithy, stringy condition of the tissues
In the later stages of the disease. This
form of stem rot has also been more
prevalent this year than In several years
past, probably on account of the unfa-
vorable conditions at the time the plants
were moved into the bouse in many
parts of the country.
Mr.Craig: Do you know of any treat-
ment for the stem-rot fungus?
FrofesBor Woods: When the plants

once become diseased It Is absolutely use-
less to attempt to cure them. Messrs.
Stewart and Duggar have recommended
liming the soil. The I!hizoctonia,or wet
rot, grows best In acid soils, especially
where they contain a good deal of de-
caying organic matter. The lime will
tend to correct the acidity and to reduce
the development of the fungus, if not
check it altogether.
The Fusarium, or dry-rot fungus, grows
best in a soil slightly alkaline, so that with
this form of stem rot lime, of course,
would do no good and it might do harm.
It is thereiore necessary to distinguish
between the two kinds of stem rot. The
treatment then would be, in the case of
the first type, or wet rot, to throw out
tbe diseased plauts, with the soli sur-
rounding them, and give the new soil a
liming incase the soil shows any acidity.
The second kind of stem rot, viz. dry rot,
is closely related to the fungus which is
almost drivingout the cotton industry in
N. and S.Carolina. There are hundreds of
acres of land where cotton cannot be
grown any more where this fungus is
present. We are carrying out this year
a very extensive series of experiments,
using almost the strongest fungicides,
like sulphuric acid, but we are unable to

tice to rid the soil of this fungus. Even

fungus In the soil to start the disease on
the next cotton crop. Of course, if i t were
possible to sterilize the soil with steam
at high pressure, say 1.30 to 140 pounds,
tile fungus could be killed, but this is not
practical in field culture. Under green-
house conditions, however, it could
readily be accomplished.
Mr. Craig: Is that fungus discernible
with the naked eye?
Professor Woods: It can be seen as a
white or pinkish growth at the base of
the plants very often in the late stages of
the disease both in cotton and carnations.
Mr. Craig. : On the soil ?
Professor Woods: You cannot see it
on the soil; only on the plant. The little
mold-like patches which are seen on the
decaying stem are the spores of the dry
rot fungus. Sometimes, if there is much
manure in the soil, the fungus may be de-
tected in that with the naked eye. Of
course, with a microscope it can be de-
tected in the soil. If you break the tis-
sues apart and hold them up to the light
you can see something like cobwebs.
That is the Fusarium, or dry-rot fungus,
as It appears on the plant.
Rhizoctonia, or wet rot fungus, you
can also see on the surface of the plant.
It looks like a very fine network of
minute roots growing from a dark cen-
tral mass on the surface of the plants, it
is sometimes difficult to see it with the
naked eye. Still you can detect it. I
tliink sterilization for two hours at 130
to 140 pounds pressure would kill every-
thing in the soil.
Mr. Craig: Plants very frequently die
in the Held from this stem rot before they
are taken into the greenhouses. I would
like to know if there is any way to pre-
vent them dying outside.
Professor Woods: The only thing to
do in the case of the dry rot is not to
grow carnations in the soil where the di-
sease appeared. This fungus behaves
much like the cotton fungus, and proba-
bly lives for about five years in the soil.
The only thing to do, as I say. is not to
grow carnations where this disease has
ever appeared, unless you can sterilize
that soil.
J. G. Esler: Will not sterilization de-
stroy the fertility of the soil?
Professor Woods: There may be the
danger of destroying the nitrifying or-
ganisms, but we find in the case of violet
soil that it does not seem to injure the
soil at all. In sterilized soil the violet
plants growrapidly— infact, too rapidly.
The nitrogeu becomes more available
after steaming than before, because the
sterilization helps to break up and re-
lease tile decaying organic matter. The
nitrifying organisms are redeveloped in
sterilized soil very (luickly after watering.
George F. Crabh: Will an excess of
moisture at a certain stage of the growth
of the carnation produce stem rot? We
noticed in a field were water lay nearly
two weeks in a narrow strip across that
patch stem rot was very prevalent.
Professor Woods: That would be very
favorable for the development and ac-
cumulation of the fungus in the soil.
As I stated, the fungus will grow in a wet
soil having organic matter therein. On
the one hand tlie fungus is helped and on
the other band the plant Isinjured under
such conditions. If the soil is too moist
the roots cannot get enough air; they
are greatly weakened, if not killed, by
such conditions.
Mr. Orabb said lie bad noticed In a cut-
ting bench where he had a little batch
of Estelie and The Marquis carnations,
that where a single drop of water came
from the roof in the spot where it fell the
plants were affected by bacteria, while
beyond that they were uot touched.
Professor Woods: You mean the light
spot or ring mold?
Mr. Crabb: I do not know what it is.
I call it bacteria.
Professor Woods: The conditions you
mention would favor the ring mold. An
excessive amount of moisture in the soil
favors the development of any of these
diseases, excepting the case of the trans-
lucent spot produced by insects. Syring-
ing under proper conditions will keep
down thrips, red spider and aphides.
You will therefore have much less of the
trMnslucent spotand so-called bacteriosis
than you would have if the plants are
not syringed. If you syringe the plants
it will be necessary to see to It that no
water is left standing in the axils of the
leaves, to produce purple joint and such
things as that. If water stands on the
leaves from 24 to 48 hours, the plants
will take on a sickly appearance and
the stems become water-logged and in-
jured just the sameas is the root by hav-
ing too much water. In this unfavora-
ble condition the plants become sensitive
to any of these various fungus troubles.
see, then, how the disease would become
epidemic.
Mr. Crabb: What remedy would you
suggest in such cases?
Professor Woods: The plants had bet-
ter be pulled out. Of course, spraying
with Bordeaux mixture or copper sul-
phate solution might tend to check the
disease, but the carnation foliage is very
difficult to wet so as to get any of these
mixtures to stick well. Our observation
has been that they do not do very much
good. We have never recommended
spraying carnations with any kind of
solution. Some people have found it
very beneficial to fumigate with sulphur,
but, of course, you know the danger
when sulphur catches fire. Others have
sprinkled the plants with sulphur and
this undoubtedly does some good. I
should say that where the disease is as
bad as you describe, the whole house
ought to be cleaned outt and fumigated
with burning sulphur for a couple of
hours, so as to kill ;the spores in the
cracks. The soil oughtto be thrown out
or sterilized.
Mr. May : In thecase of the cotton-plant
disease, has there ever been any improve-
ment found by rotation of crops — that
is, planting with other crops for several
years and then going back to cotton?
Professor Woods: notation has been
described, would the grass coming up
behind take up the disease also?
Professor Woods: We have never found
it so.
Mr. May: That answers that ques-
tion and also leads me to another ques-
tion I want to ask. My experience and
observation this year have been that the
worst cases of stem rot have occurred ou
land that has been plowed, seeded down,
that is, naturally seeded ground, and on
ground that has been highly manured,
either with barnyard manure or stable
manure, for several years, and brought
to a high state of cultivation. That has
been my experience, and other growers
will bear me out. A man sitting next to
me has had more stem rot than ever be-
fore on carnations planted on entirely
new soil. Some disease must have been
in that soil before the carnations were
planted. In my own case, some six or
seven years ago I plowed up a piece of
pasture land upon which carnations
never had been grown, and 75 per cent,
of the plants were affected by stem rot.
I thought for the sake of change a rota-
tion of crops would be better. I had
been growing carnations on soil which I
had slightly limed; but this I did uot
lime this year; it had been limed two or
three years before. The result was that I
got almost discouraged growing carna-
A Corner of the Exilibirion ol ilie American Carnation Sociel;), at Baltinnore.
Mr. Crabb: What course would you
pursue where you have a large portion
of these spots — that bacteria?
Professor Woods: With both of these
spot diseases caused by fungi the only
thing to do is to pick oft the diseased
leaves and pull out the badly diseased
plants, running the house rather dry. If
you get the plants started in good shape,
keeping tbe foliage dry and the plants in
good growing condition, the disease does
not become epidemic. I have been told
by successful growers that they were able
to control the disease in the way I have
stated. After the first attack they picked
off the diseased leaves and if the plant
was badly attacked they pulled it out en-
tirely.
Mr. Crabb stated that he took pretty
good care of his carnations, and that in
spite of removing the leaves the disease
continued to spread until about a whole
acre under glass was affected.
Professor Woods: There is a great dif-
ference In the sensitiveness of plants of
different varieties to all of these attacks.
Some plants are very resistant to stem
rot; some are very resistant to leaf
mold and to spot disease. Y'ou may
have a peculiarly sensitive variety and
partlculnrlv favoralile conditions for the
spread of the fiingus. It Is very easy to
tried for long periods, and while the dis-
ease is less severe where long rotation
has been practiced, the fungus lives so
long in the soil (we have determined it
lives five years without any loss of vi-
tality) that it often attacks the cotton
again after it is planted. We have there-
fore given up all attempts to rid the soil
of the fungus, either by rotation of crops
or, as I have explained before, by the use
of fungicides. There are certain very de-
sirable kinds of cotton. One of these is
called the Sea Island cotton, where we
get around the disease by selecting the
resistant strain. We found, for example,
that in a field where 90 per cent, of the
plants have been killed, some would be
standing straight up, strong and healthy,
and apparently showing no disease. We
have been selecting seed from these
plants, and have obtained strains of cot-
ton which will grow on the worst-infect-
ed soil and resist the fungus. In a bench of
carnations you will find some of the
plants resisting the stem rot; and by
propagating from these It might be pos-
sible to obtain resistnntstrnlnsof almost
any varieties subject to the disease.
Mr. May: My reason for asking that
question was to lead up to another, and
that is. If grass seed were sown liehind
any crop badly diseased with the fungus
tions. On ground where I had previously
grown carnation plants I limed it very
heavily. Some of you will be frightened
when I say that I used from 50 to CO
bushels of lime per acre, plowed it In,
and cultivated the ground well. I have
never been troubled with stem rot since,
either before or after bringing the plants
into the greenhouse. In regard to sterili-
zation of the soil, we find sterilization
the best preventive against all insect
pests and diseases. While some of my
compeers throughout the country claim
that sterilization destroys the soil, we
find It just the reverse. The plants grow
very much better in It than In soil which
has not been sterilized.
Professor Woods: The cause of stem
rot In tlie carnation of which you speak
was evidently not produced by the Fusa-
rium— that Is, the fungus like the one at-
tacking cotton. It was probably due to
the Rhizoctonia, or wet rot of carna-
tions, which seems to grow on a great
many different plants, in fact on every-
thing. It grows on beets and a dozen
other culMvated crops, and on all kinds
of organic matter. Of course you could
not provide a better condition for It to
grow upon than ou land heavily sodded
and manured. The fungus would just
revel In such conditions. Mr. May is cii-
214
Thb Plorists* Exchkngb.
tirely correct. With that condition so
favorable to the development of the fun-
gus, it attacked the grass and the organic
manure; the fungus doubtless increased
to such an extent that it also attacked
the carnations and produced the disease.
Mr. May' observation in regard to
liming is very interesting. Messrs. Dug-
gar and Stewart have found, as I stated
liefore, that lime would retard the devel-
oiiraent of the fungus. Mr. May's experi-
ment greatly strengthens the theory chat
there since the glacial period, some of
them as large as 10 x 14 x 2 in. From
these small particles are always being
chipped off and scattered, until my soil is
filled with lime. I am not a large carna-
tion grower, planting only some 18,000,
and of these I have not lost more than
ten, of Crane possibly seven or eight, one
of The Marquis, and the same number of
Ethel Crocker. I corroborate the state-
ment that lime is the best antidote for
stem rot. Mr. Palmer lives where the

the soft rot (Rhizoctonia) might be con-
trolled by heavy liming. The Fusarium,
or dry rot, however, does not grow on
other unrelated crops, so far as we know.
The same is true of the cotton Fusarium,
or dry rot. You can plant the soil in
which the dry-rot fungus grows with
any other unrelated crops, and it will not
affect them. There are, however, closely
related dry-rot fungi which will attack
other crops, but they, on the other liand,
donotattackcarnationsor cotton. Most
specific diseases of this kind have their
speciHc parasitic fungus.
J.L.Dillon: The question of how to
stop stem rot is a very important one.
Some fifLcen years ago I took in a lot of
carnations and planted some on benches
and others in pots. Nearly every one in
the benches was affected and not one in
the Dots. 1 came to the conclusion that
it resulted from the way in which the
plants had been treated. I examined the
plants, and found that they had been
planted too deep. Afterward I planted
ray carnations in ridges in the field. I
have done that for ten years, and have
only suffered loss by stem rot where
water had washed the dirt around the
plants. I saw Mr. Ward's carnations
last Summer, in August. He was having
very heavy rains, and the rains had
washed the dirt around the plants. I
told his man: "You will have a good
dose of stem rot unless I am mistaken."
I have since learned that that has been
the case. As to planting carnations on
sod, I always plow sod and have never
been troubled with stem rot from this
cause. Last season we had 40,000 plants,
and lost only a very few, I think not over
a dozen out of the lot, and these I am
sure were damaged in the cutting bench,
which caused the disease, because it
started from the bottom of the root and
ran up through the stem, instead of start
ing around the base, as does the stem rot
generally.
Professor Woods: I do not mean to
say you will find stem rot in all sod soils.
The stem rot has got to be there in order
to develop. It will not be likely to be
present in soils impregnated with lime.
Mr. Dillon: Before growing our plants
on ridges, we were troubled with stem
rot very much.
Professor Woods: There is a good
pathological reason for not planting too
deep. The stems have been developed
above the ground. If put below, they
will suffer for want of air and provide
places where the fungus or bacteria or
even a saphrophyte might work its
way in.
Mr. Scott: I would like to corroborate
what the professor has said in regard to
lime as a preventive of stem rot. My soil
is permeated with lime — large chunks of
limestone which must have been left
soil is clayey, and which locality was not
visited by the glacial period — at least he
was not there when It did visit the place.
[Laughter.]
C. W. Ward: I have listened to this
discussion with a great deal of interest,
because the first experiments with stem
rot were carried on by Mr. Stewart at
our place. I am not one of those indi-
viduals who say they never have had
these diseases. I have had stem rot some
years. One year I would have the dis-
ease; next year, with conditions exactly
the same, the plants set out in the identi-
cally same soil, I would not have it at
all. Just what causes it we are not cer-
tain. We have come to the conclusion
that the germs of the fuugus that pro-
duces the stem rot exist pretty nearly in
all soils; that thediseases, both the Fusa-
rium and Rhizoctonia, affect not only car-
nations, but a great many other plants.
We had plants upon sodded ground
where we had not been growing carna-
tions for a number of years; plants
growing where we never had any sod for
a number of years; and on ground where
we never had grown any carnations at all.
We had a little stem rot on the sod
ground; very little Indeed. We had a
good deal of it upon the soil where we
had planted carnations for a number of
years, also upon the soil where there
never had been any carnations, and also
where there never had been any sod fora
number of years. I came to the conclu-
sion this year that the conditions follow-
ing the planting in werethe causeof stem
rot; that the intense heat developed the
fungus.
Now, to illustrate: In the houses that
we planted first we lost comparatively
few plants. These were planted the lat-
ter part of July and the planting was
done after a considerable period of cool
weather. We did not lose 25 plants. A
few of our houses were planted with
Crane and a number of other varieties of
seedlings. They were planted during
cool weather, and we suffered quite
severely because of the rot from a hot
spell which lasted a couple of weeks. We
lost 40 per cent, of some varieties and 20
per cent, of others. We planted the Mrs.
T. W. Lawson last Spring, after we got
the plants, and lost 1,500 out of 5,000
from stem rot. They were potted in 2V4-
inch pots and kept in all through the
season. We expected to have a lot of
trouble with those plants of Lawson
that we benched last Fall. The work
was followed by a spell of cool weather,
so that the Lawson got hold In good
shape and we did not lose hardly any of
the plants. Last year and the year be-
fore we lost a great many Morning Olory
from stem rot; this year we did not lose
15 plants.
The period Ethel Crocker was planted
in was followed by a spell of cool
weather, and the plants took hold and
went right along. Aboutthe latter part
of September there came a period of dry
weather; we had a hot spell of several
weeks, the thermometer standing at 130
degrees. We lost at least 60 per cent, of
Ethel Crocker. We would go into the
greenhouse in the morning and take out
the diseased plants; we did the same
thing in the afternoon. They went down
like cauliflower.
When we came to plant in our white
carnations — we had seedlings, our Hill
sport. Flora Hill, White Cloud, and a
number of others — the work was followed
by an Intense hot spell, and we lost some
75 per cent, of these. We planted that
house three times andhavebut 75 plants
left to-day. I attribute our loss to the
intense heat, to the conditions following
the planting In. That was true of sev-
eral seedlings that showed an excellent
constitution the year before.
So far as I am concerned, I have come
to the conclusion that, theoriae as we
may, it is the conditions which surround
the plants at time of lifting that cause,
in large part, the stem rot after we get
the plants in the greenhouse.
Regarding stem rot in the field, I do
not know just what is the cause of it.
Six or seven years ago I saw one-third
gone on Long Island before the Ist of
September. Where we had stem rot
severely in the Summer time, we had con-
ditions that did not favor the growth of
the carnation. Last Summer, on Long
Island, we were visited by thunder
storms, sometimes having as many as
three of them during one night, so that
for a period of two months our carna-
tions were constantly, what you might
say, under water. We had a soft growth
where the constitution of the plants was
below par, rendering them liable to at-
tacks from all of these diseases, and in-
sects pests. " If you can keep your plants
healthy you won't have any disease," is
a true saying.
I have seen the golden rod, the Chinese
pjpony, the Japanese pceony. Coreopsis
janceolata, and other plants attacked
with this Fusarium. Last year we had
a spot where after every thunder storm
the water would stand about an inch,
sometimes three inches deep on the
ground. There was not a plant left in
that place about the 1st of October.
They commenced to die in July. In a
patch of sweet Williams planted along-
side of coreopsis and hardy phloxes
nearly all the sweet Williams died. You
could trace the troublemoving along the
Both were planted. We did not expect
any trouble from the soil that had been
limed. The plants in it died, and not in
the other. I do not want to say that
that is anything against the use of lime,
but it Is a fact.
J. W. Withers: It has been my custom
for several years to test the hardiness of
seeds of various kinds. Among other
things, I sowed a patch of aster seed, not
looking for anything excepting hardiness.
Of the asters sown last Fall, we did not
lose a single plant from stem rot and
the various diseases that attack the
aster. I had such a huge quantity that
I planted them around my home and
supplied them to several of my neighbors.
These Fall-sown asters were planted in
parallel rows in my experimental grounds
with Spring-sown seed; of the latter we
lost 75 per cent, easily. I was not look-
ing for the results 1 got. It seems that
it was a question of conditicn.
Mr. Marqulsee: We had a complaint
from Otlca that The Marquis was at-
tacked with stem rot. Being about 53
miles from Syracuse, I thought I would
go and see what was the trouble, and
had no difficulty in locating it. In one
house I found that the florist had planted
too deep, and had everlastingly soaked
the plants. He had not staked them;
they lay on the ground. The bench was
originally pretty low and the plants
could not get air. He happened to have
the stem rot. In another house I found
he had very fine flowers, at least three
times as good as the flowers we had
ourselves. Out of 7,000 plants he did
not lose probably a dozen. His plants
were much finer, grown better, and
seemed to be in perfect health. He had
no trouble with stem rot in the field; bis
plants were grown in a solid bed, and he
had pinched them back very closely in
the beginning, so that he had good aver-
age plants — some of them with 25 to 30
flowering shoots on them. But they
practically lay flat on the ground. I ex-
amined them and found he had planted
them too deep and watered them too
freely. Now he says to me: "I will show
you a curious thing. There is a door
which all through the Fall weather was
wide open. A certain distance from that
door none of the plants has been affected
with stem rot, but beyond that I have
lost one here, one there, and so on." I
said: "Mr. Mathews, that Is not at all
strange. You see, your plants have not
got air. They have been planted too
deep and watered too heavily. [He
ouly had ventilators on one side in the
roof.] I would advise you to takeaway

surface of the soil day by day right up
to the coreopsis. The affected parts of
the latter were cut away, and the plants
started from the bottom again. They
came up in the Fall, and in the following
Spring were just as vigorous as ever.
.So far as lime Is concerned, I am inclined
to corroborate what has been said, but
not wholly. I made a series of experi-
ments last Fall to test the value of lime.
In one case welmpregnated the soil with

some of the soil, that is too deep around
these plants, and if necessary take off
some of the lower leaves, so that the air
can get around the plants and between
them." He did that and had no further
trouble with stem rot. In another house
he had been troubled under the same con-
ditions that prevailed in theonespoken of.
Where the plants were affected, I advised
him to take away some of the soil and
withhold some of the water, and he has
not been troubled further.

Hybridizinj: the Carnation.
Disfiissiun on Mr. Flsber's Paper (see
paf:es 1<S'J-1U0).
Mr. Mariiuisee: I would like to ask oDe
thing ill regard to croBBiug. The essay-
idt Bpcaksof Octoberas a favorable time,
ile also speaks, in that counection, of
iiaviiig the plants in the best possible
iiiiidition of growth and health. They
hardly reach that during October, but
rutherdurlng February and March. Why,
then, would not February or March,
wlieu they have a better growth and
more stamina in them, and when we have
more sunlight, be a better time to cross
than in October or November?
Mr. Fisher: I find a difficulty in get-
ting pollen of various varieties to work
with, and seed saved in .Spring is often
gathered too late to be of any advantage
tur sowing thatseason; it has to be kept
over till the following Fall, when it takes
longer to germinate through being dry.
A large percentage of it also fails to ger-
minate. I believe in sowing the seed
when it is ripe, as it germinates much
quicker; aud if crossing is done in the
Fall it gives you a chance to Bee and test
your seedlings the same season. I do
not believe in keeping seed over. Another
advantage of early planting is that the
plants take a much better hold in the
Fall while there in abundant sunlight
and get well established in the soil be-
fore artiflcial heat is applied.
Mr. Ward: I would corroborate Mr.
Fisher in that. 1 do some hybridizing or
crossing with the Malmaison and some
other strains. But I find tliat I do not
get as much seed in October. The pods
are not so large; they do not fill as well
as they do later in the Spring. I have
also crossed very late; as late as the, 1st
of June, aud carried that seed over. 1
have got as many good sets out of the
seed carried over as from seed sown
when gathered. There is one advantage
iu October. The plants are, as far as
health is concerned, in Ijetter condition
than the Spring plants, provided the
Summer seasou has been favorable to the
carnation. Some seasons are not favor-
able— like the past cue. As a rule, if your
plants are lifted early, from the latter
part of July to the middle or last of Au-
gust, especially those lifted in the early
part of August, theplants are thoroughly
established and growing inside in Octo-
ber and November. Sometimes we com-
mence to cross in January or February,
and onward up to the last of March.
When we have a very dark spell of
weather the plants will not be in good
condition. You may liave large flowers;
your plants may be producing a good
quantity of bloom by artificial means;
but that is not as good a condition as
they are in in October with bright sunny
weather. We are crossing at the present
time, and quite successfully, getting very
good sets of seed. I would like to hear
from Mr. Wittersta'tter on this subject.
R. Wittersta'tter: 1 do not know that
I have anything new to say. I am just
about through doing my crossing at the
presenttime. Wiien Icaineaway Imissed
a few Adonis that I wanted to cross. We
do our crossing when the sun comes in
the Spring — within the past 12 or 15
days. We used to cross in the Fall— in
October and November, and have seed
set at that time. In fact, we find the
seed pods fill up the latter part of Octo-
ber aud the first part of November bet-
ter than at any other time. At that time
you can make any cross you wish with
good satisfaction. We carry the seed
over and sow the following January.
Mr. Fisher stated that in crossing we
could get a strain that could be repro-
duced from seed. I do not think we have
got that far yet. We have reproduced
Adonis into a crimson with good lorm,
good stem and good in other ways.
Whether this can be done again remains
to be seen another year. In crossing for
color we take the same color wherever
the plants have the appearance of the re-
quired cousitution, etc. Last year we
made a cross of Kstelle and Adonis. The
results of thatcross camecloser and finer
than with any cross I ever made. Mr.
Ward saw that batch. About half of
them were first-class cut-flower varieties.
Quite a number bursted the calyx; but
it was the beat batch of seedlings I have
gotten where we made any money out
of the flowers the first year. In working
for color, I think the best way in which
to get good varieties is by using the same
colors desired. Adonis, I think, is from
a Btrain of scarlet for the lasttour or five
generations. Estelle has about six.
From these two together we have got
but one color in the whole batch, with
the exception of one plant. It was a
burster, on the order of Prosperity, and I
do not think It came from that cross at
all.
Mr. Fisher: By working with the one
color you will by degrees eradicate the
other shades, and you will have a large
percentage come true or nearly true in
shades of scarlet, white, etc. I believe
the only variety I have seen come almost
identical to the type Is McGowan. I had
eight or nine plants from the same pod
of seed that were identical, or so near re-
productions of the parent that it was im-
possible to detect any difference.
Mr. Ward: I would say that I have
been following out Mr. Fisher's sugges-
tion tor a number of years. Our tcarlet
seedlings are from several generations of
scarlet. I have divided my crossing
into sections — yellow section, scarlet sec-
tion, crimson, white variegated, white,
light and dark pink. Our seedlings in
the seedling house aie practically now
in blocks. There were at least 25 crosses
in crimson that produced nothing but
crimson. There was not a variation in
the color; all were crimson colors of vari-
ous shades. In vellows I had perhaps
ten crosses that did not have any varia-
tion from that color. Among the yel-
lows I had a cross of one of my seedlings
and one of Mr. Dorner's of which we had
16 plants that wi?re all yellows. There
were only two singles iu the lot, and
there were 11 or 12 that were of suffi-
cient merit to take into the greechouEe
annual labors in convention assembled —
the banquet. Mayor Edwin A.Seidewitz,
of Annapolis, the genial and hustling
" Sidy," acted as toastmaster in a most
acceptable manner, and introduced the
variousspeakers with a flow of unexcelled
eloquence. The first toast was "Balti-
more." Commenting on the fact that the
Monumental City had noexteueive florist
establishments in its immediate sur-
roundings, Mr. Seidweitz said: " There is
a reason for that. We have not yet
adopted the spirit of commercialism. We
have still left within our souls the spirit
of patriotism. If you have looked
around and seen our institutionsof learn-
ing; if you havetaken into consideration
that in Maryland some of theepoch-mak-
ing inventions have first been tried, it
will prove to you that Maryland has
always been first in the matter of prog-
ress." He then introduced his honor,
the Mayor of Baltimore, as one who was
giving the city a municipal government
on business principles.
Mayor Hayes said, among other good
things, that he had learned quite a good
deal thatevening aboutflowersand their
propagation: also that the American
Carnation Society was making great and
rapid strides in the culture and develop-
ment of what, when he was a boy, were
called "pinks," and these had only two
colors. He reiterated his statement that
the people of Maryland were great ad-
Government. He believed that the infor-
mation in regard to floriculture was as
important as that pertaining to pota-
toes, rye, wheat and tobacco, because
flowers" minister to the highest a'sthetic
development of the mind, and it was neces-
sary that the soul of man be fed as well
as his body. Hepaid a high compliment
to the achievement of Peter Fisher in
securing the Lawson carnation, aud
spoke of the good work doing both by
the Carnation and Rose societies in ob-
taining new varieties, mentioning the
great diflicuity of collectors and growers
to add to the list of palms and some other
plants. Mr. Craig closed his most inter-
esting remarks with the following elo-
quent tribute to the carnation: " Every-
thing is subjecttothe law of growth and
decay. Governments and nations rise
and fall; they grow up and pass away;
and the timeshallcome when we all shall
pass away, when we no longer shall
gather around the festive board and
enjoy ourselves as weare doing to-night.
But we can comfort ourselves with this
one thought, that the power of beauty is
eternal. This power cannot wither
away. And as long as the carnation ex-
ists, as long asitremains a glorious type
of beauty, it shall hold swa.v over the
hearts and homes of men." [Loud and
continued applause.]
The next toast was "The Public," re.
spouded to by the Hon. Thos. Clenden.

on trial. The same is true in regard to
whites. So that 1 am in harmony on
the lines of using individual colors, unless
you want to change the habit when it is
well to take a variety that shows a good
habit. We have yellow, scarlet, and
white crosses with the Maceo habit: and
we expect eventually to have the Maceo
habit with nearly all of the colors.
The full discussion on sub-watering
will appear in next week's Issue.

Seldom in the history of the American
Carnation Society has so many of the
local craft graced the festal board with
their preseqce in honor of the visiting
guests as was the case iu Lehmnnn's
Hall Baltimore, on Friday evening last.
At all events, never did it happen before
that the mayors of two cities participat-
ed in what has now come to be a recog-
nized and fitting close to the society's
mirers of the beautiful, and he believed
they appreciated the men who are en-
gaged in the raising of flowers as a busi-
ness. An example of this appreciation
was seen in the election of a florist, al-
most irrespective of politics, to the may-
oralty of Annapolis. [Applause.] " I am
a great believer incultivating among the
people a fondness for flowers. I believe it
you can get the people interested in
flowers, you are accomplishing something
that is refining and elevating. I wish
very much that we could institute some
method by which we could have a public
building open to the people who could
go there and look at the flowers. I think
it would be helpful in enabling them to
understand nature's gems."
His honor then proceeded to tell of his
efforts to provide honest government for
Baltimore, and of the public's apprecia-
tion of his work along tliese lines, closing
his remarks, amid applause, by thanking
the society tor having chosen Baltimore
as Its annual meetlug place this year.
Robert Cralg was inlroduced as the
man having a great resemblance to Wm.
J. Bryau, and was asked to speak to the
toast " The Carnation." He thanked the
mayor tor his kindly interest in the meet-
ingand exhibition, and would like to ete
his example followed by the chief execu-
tive of every city in America. He spoke
of the efforts of tbe S. A. F. to secure a
national charter, thus becoming idenil-
fled with tbe Government and having
the Boclety's literature published by the
nin, president of the Park Board. He
spoke of the carnation as being a flower
that has been longer before the public
than any other flower known to-day; it
was used on regal occasions as far back
as two thousand years ago. He referred
to the great power of public opinion,
properly formed, which no man, be he
king, prelate, president or other person,
could successfully disregard. He paid a
glowing tribute to the mayor, who, it he
did not know how to raise flowers, loved
them. But "he knows how to raise a
great many other things — he knows how
to raise trouble, confusion, dismay and
defeat to his enemies. [Laughter and
applause.] He knows how to raise en-
thusiasm, belief, confldence, trust among
his friends." [Applause.]
Wm. Christie answered for "The La-
dies" ill his own chaiHctcristic way. He
lielieved the only thing the popular
president, itob Halllday, needed now was
a beautiful lady to keep him at home— a
remark that evoked roars of laughter.
"Telling Others How" was the toast
assigned to Wm. Scott, of Buffalo, who
on rising to respond received a grand
ovation. lie told of the wonderful prog-
ress making with the Pan-American Ex-
position; and advanced the statement
that he had been informed tliat in many
lines the Cliicago World's Fair would he
beaten. He invl edall to come to Buffalo
ill August with the S. A. F., and prom-
ised that good care would be taken of
every visitor.

Thb Florists' Exchange.
C. W. Ward spoke to the toast " The
Gardener," to whose Intelligence he paid
a grand compliment. He believed a
greater appreciation of that intelligence
had been brought about by the organi-
zation of societies like the S. A. F. He
made a great hit by his comparisons of
men in the trade with notable person-
ages in history in their individual pro-
clivities, likening Robert Craig to Cicero
as an orator; Wm. Scott to Chauncey M.
Depew aa a postprandial speaker (not a
ret.ailerof antiquated jokes); claseicschol-
ars revere the name of Socrates — the gar-
deners that of Fred Dorner, of Lafayette;
and so on. Mr. Ward predicted that in
20 years there will be just as many mil-
lionaires in the gardening profession as
in any other in this country, and closed
by stating that he would never place a
single obstacle in the way of his own boy
entering the profession of a gardener,
should his son elect to do so. His re-
marks were loudly applauded.
Mr. May replied to the toast " The
Rivals," speaking of the competition be-
tween the carnation and the rose. He
believed the latter would always reign
supreme as the queen of flowers.
L. E. Marquisee, who Mr. Ward had pre-
viously said was the Marshall P. Wilder
among gardeners, kept the audience in
one continued roar of laughter by his
humorous stories when replying to the
toast "Troubles."
Wm. B. Sands, in his response to the
toast "The Trade Press," supplemented
the mayor's address by citing other phys-
ical and historical attractions of the
city, and made some allusion to garden-
ing matters there. He said: In the gar-
dener's art if you justly boast of your
Brecks, Buists and Hendersons, your
Witterstsptters, Dailledouzes and Fishers,
we take equal pride in the roster which
carries the names of our Feasts and
Cooks, our Hallidays and Pentlands,and
of that great and learned man, big of
tame and big of brain, to whose memory
every cap should be doffed — gardener,
nurseryman, botanist, writer — Wm. D.
Brackenrijge.
The first American commercial cata-
logue of roses was issued from Balti-
more, its vivid descriptions of varieties
just as entrancing to the ear and as al-
luring to the buyer as the most eloquent
word paintings of the catalogue men of
to-day. Here is a copy of the modest
volume— and there sits its compiler. [Mr.
James Pentiand.]
Judge Sands continued: But to the
trade press: Some years ago a close
friend of mine, counting somewhat upon
my experience as a publisher and on the
newspaper blood in my veins, asked my
advice as to an investment in a proposed
paper designed for the florists' trade, and
received reply, " Halliday"— for it was
that splendid fellow and accomplished
gardener, whom many of you knew, the
father of .your president — "youare so sit-
uated that you must go in, but put as
little money in as circumstances will
allow, for of course it will fail." I am
glad to stand here to-night to admit that
I was a false prophet, that it did not fail,
that it was a success from the very start,
and that it survives, in usefulness sharing
the held with others just as prosperous
and profitable, all working to the same
good end— the advancement of the flo-
rists' trade, the protection of our mutual
interest, the education of our members,
the engendering of an effective esprit de
corps, the promotion of a refined taste,
and the elevation of the profession of the
gardener among other callings, which
make life more beautiful and more worth
living, ministering as it does to aisthetie
tastes, bringing wholesome pleasures to
the many as well as to the few, whose
pure delights are not elusive, but grow
by that on which they feed, and are tree
and open to all, prince and peasant, ig-
norant and learned, rich and poor. These
are the purpones, these the aims of the
trade press. Tbat it has achieved them
all, abundantly achieved them all, I call
on every man here present to-night to
testif.v. Who can say what part of the
trade's expansion of the past 15 years is
not attributable to the intelligence, enter-
prise and Real of this great instrument of
progress, seconding every forward move-
ment, taking the initiative in many, and
affording field and opportunity for the
clear heads and keen pens of the Dorners,
the Craigs, the Scotts, the Mays and the
Webers, of every section of the trade and
of every section of the country — to the
profit of us all?

OFFICERS FOR 1901-1902.
President-elect Wm. G. Bertermann.
William G. Bertermann, president-elect
of the American Carnation Society, was
born at Wilhelmshohe, near Cassel, Ger-
many, in 1857. His father was park
officer under the last Kurfurst of Kur-
Hessen, and also under King William of
Prussia, who conquered the principality
in 1866. Mr. Bertermann emigrated to
this country in 1872, and began to learn
the florist business in Columbus, O.,
under John Underwood. In 1875 he
took a position with B. J. Critchell, of
Cincinnati, and worked for the firm dur-
ing tlie celebrated exhibitions which
boomed the flower business of that city
for many years. In 1878 he took a trip
to Germany, and on his return to the
United States came to Indianapolis with
his brother John, working for G. Lange,
a business started by Lange & Bock.
Some time afterward the brothers
bought out the store interests of that
concern, and also built a few small green-
houses, using flues, but subsequently in-
stalling steam heating, the first in the
neighborhood of Indianapohs. In 1883
the store and conservatory of Thomas
Lewis were bought, and in 1885 the
greenhouses of the former firm of Lange
& Bock were purchased. Trips were
made by William across the Atlantic in
Exhibition at Hamburg, Germany, and
1891, 1897, and 1900. In 1897 heat-
tended the International Horticultural
acted as one of the judges In
a college of 125. He was
secretary of the Indianapolis
chrysanthemum shows eight
years, and acts in that ca-
pacity again this year. He was on
the Executive Committee of the
Society of American Florists for
the year 18S8, when the S. A. F.
met in New York. For the past
three years, being on the sick list
through nervous indigestion, he
has spentconsiderabletime in Cali-
fornia, Florida and North Carolina,
and these trips have very much
improved his health.
Mr. Bertermann is a bachelor;
however, he has a household, tak-
ing care of a widowed sister and
her son.
Those most intimately ac-
quainted with the president-elect
know him to be a hustler and a
most energetic worker. With the
assistance of the vice-president, Mr.
Lemon, also a resident of Indiana,
as well as that of the popular
treasurer, Fred Dorner, Jr., like-
wise hailing frorathe " banks of
the Wabash," and the cooperation
of the enthusiastic fiorists of the
State of Indiana, one may safely
predict that 1902 will be the ban-
ner year in the society's history
to date.
Vice-President-elect Fred Lemon.
The vice-president, Fred Lemon,
of Richmond, Ind., is a son-in-law
of E. G. Hill, and is a member of
the firm of E. G. Hill Co. He is a
bright, active young man, and
doubtless, guided by the wise
counsel of his honored father-in-law, will
render very material assistance in shap-
ing the society's destinies for 1902.

be perpetuated, and with equally grati-
fying results in every case.
Carnations at Montreal.
Perhaps the best place, locally, to
make a comparison of the new varieties
is at Jos. Bennett's at Lachine. Here
they are growing side by side with the
older ones, and they also luckily escaped
the damage many of the other growers'
plants received, from excessive rain
while in the field last Fall and from
which many have never wholly recovered.
No doubt the best deep pink seen here is
Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson. This variety
has thrown a continuous cutof the high-
est grade flowers the whole Winter, and
Is decidedly in advance of any older pink
grown. In the beginning of the Winter
the calyx showed a tendency to burst;
this was remedied by keeping the plants
dryer at the roots than usual. Another
very pretty pink, although not so strong
as Mrs. Lawson, is Lady Van Home
(Miller & Sons). The variety will receive
an extended trial next year. Genevieve
Lord and Ethel Crocker are liked im-
mensely. They are both better than any
of the older pinks grown here. The
cream of the whole collection is undoubt-
edly Morning Glory. As seen here this is
an ideal variety with which the old Day-
break will not bear comparison. It will
be grown extensively, probably exclu-
sively, for a light pink next year. The
Marquis has not been satisfactory; it is
too shy in blooming during the early
part of the Winter. Olympia is a beauti-
ful fiower, but as seen here the stem is
too weak to be effective.
The leading place in white is taken by
two older varieties. For early, Evelina;
for the whole season. Glacier. The latter
variety, like Morning Glory, is a peer in
its class, beside which any other white
here fades into insignificance. White
Cloud, for some inexplicable reason, is a
total failure here. In reds the honors are
with Jubilee, this erratic variety appar-
ently being perfectly at home. It will
not stand any holding back while in the
bud, this causing spotted, striped and
deformed flowers. G. H. Crane also is
very good and has the added advantage
of standing a cool treatment to enable
the grower to get in a crop of flowers for
the holidays. Generals Gomez and Maceo
arealso grown. Both varieties do finely;
the latter is probably the favorite. Good
old William Scott is getting run out and
will have to be discarded. Flora Hill,
Lizzie McGowan, Alaska, Albertini and
Tidal Wave are also varieties that here
are doomed to oblivion.
At P. McKenna & Sons the favorite In
the dark pink kinds Is Lady Van Home.
The cash receipts in proportion to space
occupied are double those of any variety
on the place. White Cloud does splen-
didly; so also does Glacier, which here
grows as strongly as the former. A bench
of Tidal Wave is a revelation and recalls
the time when thatvariety was the Ideal
pink. Mr. McKenna was unfortunate
with his new varieties. Expecting an
average Summer, he planted on low
ground; getting a very wet season, the
plants were all killed.
In this establishment was seen Vilmo-
rin's (Paris) new rose Multiflora nana.
It is a dwarf, ever-blooming variety of
thepolyantha flowered type. It comes
freely from seed, and early Spring sown
seed'makes splendid plants in 5-inch pots
for Christmas. Any one w ho has not tried
this plant should lose no time in doing
so. Mr. McKenna has selected several of
the best varieties from a very large num-
ber of plants and will propagate exten-
sively. B-
How to Drain Economically.
Etery farmer, every land owner, who
has a boggy or swampy piece of ground
may learn without cost how to reclaim
it and make it profitable at little cost.
"Benefits of Drainage and How to
Drain," a thoroughly practical and meaty
treatise on drainage, teaches how. This
little book is publishtd by John H. Jack-
son, Albany, N. Y., who will send it free
to any one in the New England or Middle
Atlantic States who is interested. The
theory of aerated soil, which is treated
with great clearness in this helpful book»
will be very interesting to tillers who
have not examined the subject. Practi-
cal experience demonstrates that tile-
drained land is made very productive
through the liberal admission of air and
the carrying off of surplus moisture. If
you have reclaimable land, write to Mr.
Jackson for this free book.

FOR
Easter Plants
BLOOMINS EASTER WEEE.
Time is money !
Lose no time I
Order your supply now !
I have an immense stock of the FINEST
and CHOICEST in the market, and in such
quantities that exceed anything that I ever
had and offered before. You would be aston-
ished if you could take a look in seven (7)
large greenhouses and an equal number of
hot beds which are filled to the fullest ex-
tent, and devoted to the entire cultivation
of Easter plants alone. Therefore I will be
prepared to fill all orders, if sent in time, as
far as the supply will reach.
AZALEA INDICA.
I am one o£ the largest importers of these choice Easter plants and have about a thou-
sand more than last year. I raised these in large houses, 20x115 feet, erected for the cul-
tivation solely of these plants. These Azaleas were selected by myself last fall on my
second trip to Belgium, and as I am agent for a large concern there it gives you a chance
to purchase your goods at first hand and not through a middleman. I have only ne'v
stock; none left over from a year ago. I can offer you plants in bloom, or buds, blooming
Easter week, 6-inch pots, 60c., 75c. and some for $1.00. Most of them Mme. Vander
Cruyssen, and some other of the best varieties which will be selected by myself. I have
some fine specimen plants, lo-ii-inch pots, 20-22 inches across, very large (Mme. Vander
Cruyssen), of good shape and full of buds, $3 00 each, easily worth $5 co. Weight, with
pots, 37 lbs. ; weight, without pots, 17 lbs.
Araucarias excelsa and srlauca, in excellent shape, 3 tiers, 5-inch pots,
60C., 75c. and $i.oD each. Very fine specimens, $1-50 and $2.00 each, worth $3 00.
Spiraeas compacta and floribundl. Fine bushy plants; my own importa-
tion; perfect jewels; 51,-6-inch pots, $3.00 per doz. Specimen plants, $4.00 per doz.
Hydrangrea (Pink). 5ii^-inch pots, $3 00 to $4.00 per doz.
Cineraria hybrida. Choice colors, 6-inch pots, $2.50 and $3.00 per doz. In bloom
now or at faster. I have a house full of them.

BRIEFS FOR BUSY FLORISTS.
BoUGAiNviLLEA.— There is a constantly
increasing demand for well-flowered
plants of bougainvilleas. If a few old
plants are at hand, take off all available
cuttings and have a batch of young
plants for another season. Take the
shoots that are showing no inclination
to flower and put them in the ordinary
propagating bed, giving them shade
whenever the sun is directly over them.
After they become rooted, pot them up
and try to keep them growing as fast as
possible, though they must not be sub-
jected to extremely higli temperature to
accomplish this. Never allow them to
become root-bound during the Summer
months, and with each potting have the
soil richer in feeding materials than the
preceding one.
Double Petunias. — If a number of old
plants have been carried over from last
Fall, there should be by this time a good
batch of cuttings ready to be taken from
them. These should be put in the sand
this week to make nice stock for Spring
sales.
POIN8ETTI4S.— Old plants that are at
present resting under the benches may be
cut down for propagating purposes.
Doing this while there is a good bottom
heat under the cutting bench will result
in a sat iefactory and quicker rooting of
the hard-wood cuttings. Do not throw
the old plants away after the cuttings
have been taken ; keep them where they
are for a month or six weeks yet; then
start them into growth and use the soft
young shoots that are then made for
cuttings. These will make dwarfer
plants than the earlier rooted ones, and -
will be suitable for growing several to-
gether in one pan.
EvEKY BIT of space in the propagating
bed must be kept utilized from now on.
Iresines, acalyphas, salvias, verbenas,
coleus and any other soft-wooded bed-
ding plants should he got in without
delay.
A SOWING OF SEEDS ot Some of the an-
nuals should also be made this week —
just enough of each kind to have a tew
early plants. The main batch ot seeds
may be sown by the 20th of this month.
Denver.
J. A. Valentine, president of the Park
Floral Co., was shot down in his store
February 17 by a fellow who had en-
tered it for the purpose of creating a dis-
turbance arising out of a case of mis-
taken identity. The bullets, two of them,
have been extracted, and Mr. Valentine
will recover.
Omaha, Neb.
The past week has been a very busy
one. During the early part the demand
was tor funeral flowers. The tiade for
St. Valentine's Day was tar bigger than
expected. Violets seemed to be in most
demand. First-class roses sold well,
however. The call was also very heavy
lor carnations, the supply being exceed-
ingly short. The latter condition has
prevailed in this neighborhood for the
past two or three weeks.
Miss Jennie Glick, formerly with Louis
Henderson, will open a store in the near
future. The location will probably be
16th and Farnam Streets.

(75) Hydrocyanic Acid Gas for Gra-
peries, etc.— Will hydrocyanic acid gas
kill mealy hug on grape vinesand nectar-
ine trees under glass? Woulil it cause tlie
buds of the nectarine trees to drop off if
done before the trees started growing?
Also would the gas injure the vine foli-
age and affect the crop in any way ? If
not, when would be the best time to use
It? Will you also give directions tor us-
ng it and the quantity required tor the
following houses: grapery, 4,200 feet;
grapery, 3,38i feet; grapery, 3,456 feet;
nectarine house, 2,448 feet; nectarine
house, 2,958 feet?
—Hydrocyanic acid gas will kill all and
everything that has life when strong
enough. When sufficiently weak or dilute
it will not Injure anything. The special
questions I cannot answer, as I have no
recent experience with mealy bug on the
plants mentioned.
My rule for its use is one weighed ounce
ot cyanide of potassium, 98 per cent., one
measured ounce of commercial sulphuric
acid, and three ounces of water for each
one thousand (1,000) cubic feet of air
space in the house. Three or four times
these amounts may be placed in one ves-
sel tor each 3,000 or 4,000 cubic feet.
The acid and the water are put together
in a glazed vessel holding two quarts or
more, and put in place, with the cyanide
near by on a paper. Just at dusk the
cyanide is dropped into the liquid and
the operator backs out at once and
closes the door, which is not to be opened
until the next morning. This strength
will kill the weaker insects and may be
repeated in greater strength after a tew
days, until all insects are killed or the
foliage shows signs of injury. On no ac-
count is the gas to be breathed.— Dn.
Jabez Fisheb.
(70) Chrysanthemnm for Name.—
The chrysanthemum flower you send
looks like Nagoya, but I would not like
to say positively it is that variety. There
is not a scrap of foliage to help identify
it by. It is, I take it, a late flower, that
has appeared after the main stem has
been cut away, and such flowers do not
generally couiorm strictly to the type of
the variety they emanate from.— C. U.T.
(77) Growing Tuberoses Outdoors
for Cut Blooms. — U. H. M, — To grow
tuberoses for cut flowers, they must be
grown in the open Held to be profitable;
therefore that is the only practical way.
The mode of cultureis very simple. Have
the land thoroughly dug or plowed, and
as soon as danger from frost Is past
plant the bulbs, three inches deep in
rows and 10 inches apart, leaving space
enough between the rows to cultivate
easily, as weeds will have to be kept
down. By planting the bulbs at inter-
vals of two weeks until the first ot July
flowers can be had until frost comes.
(78) A Liquid Fertilizer.- Is there
a liquid fertilizer in use which is not
made from manure? If so, how is it
made, how often used, and is ifot any
great value? — t'. J. H.
-Write to the Eastern Chemical Com-
pany, 620 Atlantic Avenue, Hoston,
Mass. These people sell a liquid plant
food and they will no doubt give full
particulars regarding it.
(79) Spirsea Compacta and tiily of
the Valley. — I have a lotot Spir.>ea com-
pacta and the plants are now showing
buds. Are they too early or are they on
time for Easter? It too early, can I keep
them back? It so, how ?
My lily ot the valley pips are coming
up. Are they too early tor Easter? — K. P.
— Keep the splr.'ea andlil.y ot the valley
In a cool house, with a night tempera-
ture, say ot 48 or 50 degrees, and they
will come in about right tor Easter.

Club News,
The March meeting on Tuesday
evening next is expected to be a large
one. Wm. P. Craig will read a paper re-
viewing the Carnation Society's conven-
tion. His papers are always good and
no doubt this one will prove very inter-
esting. The club room committee is
making preparations for a smoker after
the meeting. Ample refreshments will be
served, and it is hoped that there will be
a good attendance to enjoy the evening.
Those who went from this city to Bal-
timore last week speak in high praise ot
the convention. Theexhibition delighted
every one, many saying it was the best
ever seen. As regards the staging, several
think the flowers would have shown to
better advantage had the platforms been
18 inches higher.
H.Bayersdorfercelebrated the fifteenth
anniversary of his wedding Sunday last.
The whole day was given up to the cele-
bration, the company being composed of
the immediate relatives. The house was
profusely decorated with smilax and
flowers.
market Notes.
Lent was not really noticed until
Tuesday of this week. Up to that time
all the stores were very busy. Now the
demand Is lighter, and although prices
have not yet become much lower, there
is likely to be a big drop before Satur-
day, as all kinds of stock are now piling
up. So tar the street men have been sell-
ing only violets; now they have roses
and narcissus, the latter at 10c. and 15c.
per dozen. The stores have been busy
with funeral work. There has also been
considerable trade In the dinner-table line.
An unusual incident occurred this week
at a reception. The lady had ordered
fiowers, and later had so many sent to
her that she asked her florist to take
some roses back that she had bought.
This the florist consented to do. Before
the roses reached his store, they were
again sold to other parties and sent
back to the same house. David Bust.
Baltimore.
Cat-Flower Trade.
There is a slight tailing off in the
retail trade; still the wholesale market
is not over-supplied except with violets
and inferior bulbous stock. In the open
market as well as in the stores the de-
mand tor house plants is increasing, an
encouraging feature which is developing
more and more every year.
Clab Notes.
The last meeting was not so well
attended as usual. The recent convention
was the chief topic. Ot course every club
member wants to feel that the visitors
found their brief stay here useful and
agreeable. The American Carnation So-
ciety can certainly look back upon a very
successful meeting, and the Baltimore
gardeners are proud that they were
selected to play so important a part in
it. They fully appreciated the opportu-
nity offered to many to make or renew
the acquaintances of their brethren from
north and south, east and west, and to
examine the flne new varieties ot carna-
tions which were as yet little known
here. Furthermore, they did their best
to make their visitors feel at home — an
enviable task indeed, tor never was hos-
pitality more graciously accepted than
by the delegates of the A. C. S.
The only regret which was given ex-
pression at the club meeting was that
the caterer to whom the preparation of
the banquet was Intrusted sorely disap-
pointed the committee In charge. His
performances were tar below his reputa-
tion and his promises. Nevertheless it
was a jolly affair. The spirit ot good fel-
lowship soon carried the hearts to a
higher sphere, and fired by the wise
words, witty sallies and spicy anecdotes
of the si)eakers, "our troubles" were
forgotten for once, and every one could
go back to his wonted occupation a
wiser and stronger man, Imbued with
the truth that a florist's is a noble call-
ing indeed, and that it is an honor to
work with and tor such Institutions as
the A. C. S.

Newport, R. I.
■ The Newport, R. I., Horticultural So-
ciety's Spring show tor roses, strawber-
ries and other seasonable fruits and
flowers is to be held in a tent on the
grounds of Mrs. Burke-Roche. Last Fall
Mrs. Roche conceived the idea of making
the society's exhibitions popular with
the Summer people, and to that end she
offered the free use of her lawn, and will
arrange for the serving of light refresh-
ments while the show Is in progress. She
has also promised to use her influence in
other ways to make the affair a success.
The society has voted to accept Mrs.
Roche's offer. Thedate of the exhibition
has not been fixed, but the schedule has
been prepared and arrangements are in
progress which will make this the grand-
est affair yet given by the society.
H. J. Hasg Is now settled In his new
store at 196 Tbames Street. Mac.
New Haven, Conn.
There were some :iO members present
at the regular meeting of the New Haven
Horticultural .Society. Appropriate res-
olutions were passed on the death of
Robert Veitch, and they will be sent to
the family of the deceased. Resolutions
were also passed on the death of Mrs.
Leonard C. Sanford yesterday. Mrs.
Sanford was a daughter of the president
of the society, Eli Whitney. These reso-
lutions will be sent to Mr. Whitney as a
token of respect from the society.
An interesting paper was read by Mr.
Coe, of Coe & Lines, on the subject of
" Grafting and Budding." The paper
was greatly enjoyed and was very in-
structive. At the next meeting a paper
will bereadby Professorjenkins, of Yale,
on " Fertilizing and Grass Seed."
Oceanic, N. J.
The Monmouth County Horticultural
Society will make a permanent exhibit
at the Pan-American Exposition, Horti-
cultural Hall.
The fourth annual ball of the society
was held in Red Men's Hall, Friday even-
ing, February 15. Robert Beatty led the
grand march, in which i)2 couples took
part. The upper 25 of Oceanic and sur-
roundings were represented. At about
midnight, 200 sat down to supper.
Hugh Birch did the comical part to per-
fection. When the band played " Home,

Kent & Marsh's new seedling carnation
Lillian White is a fine variegated
variety somewhat after the style of Mrs.
George M. Bradt, but larger and darker.
It is a very free bloomer and does not
seem inclined to be a cropper. The firm
has not been able to supply the demand
for it. They expect to put the rooted cut-
tings on the market another season.

New York.
The Market.
Business among the wholesalers
reached a low ebb during the past week.
It is considered fortunate that Bride and
Bridesmaid roses are off crop just at this
time, for although but few are coming
in, there is sufiicient to satisfy all de-
mands. Special American Beauty also
are not over-abundant, and these, with
the two varieties mentioned, are the best
selling roses on the market. Prices are
lower than usual at this season of the
year. Short-stemmed American Beauty
and other red roses are a complete glut;
there seems to be absolutely no call for
this color. Meteor have been offered as
low as 50c. per 100.
Bulbous flowers are all toopentiful;
particularly is this apparent among the
yellow stock. Lilies are poor, very poor;
some, in fact, have been sold at 2c. each
during the past few days. Selected
flowers bring about 8c. each, but few of
them are around. There is much conjec-
ture as to the lily supply for Easter, see-
ing that there has been such a large num-
ber ot Inferior flowers obtained from the
bulbs already forced. What percentage
of flrst-class blooms will be available at
that time it Is too early to say, but or-
ders for such are being freely booked at
$10 per 100.
Violets are a drug in the market. The
cold weather and theoverproduction to-
gether are responsible for a great accu-
mulation of these flowers, and $1 and
SI. 50 per 1,000 Is a common price for
the inferior grades, with 50c. per 100 as
a top flgure for fancy stock. Smilax is
going slower than it was, and the value
has dropped perceptibly. Asparagus
and adiantum are also dragging, but no
change in price is noted. Lilac is not so
plentiful and meets with a fair demand
at from 75c. to $1 perbunch. Sweet peas
are lagging, with prices gradually low-
ering.
The Retail Trade.
Among the retailers business is
rather quiet, though there is more doing
than one would Imagine. The condition
of the wholesale market is not always a
guide to that of the retail trade. The
fact is that flowering plants are cutting
a much larger flgure in this trade than
many realize, and elaborate decorations
are being executed from which cut-flower
growers and dealers receive little or no
demand for their products. Pans of
Dutch hyacinths, rhododendrons, aza-
leas, cytisus, etc., are to be seen in the
store windows. Such stock is to be had
in quantity, and is being used for table
work at the present time, much to the
detriment ot cut flowers.
Anctlon Sales.
William Ellott & Sons will hold
their first sale of the season on Tuesday,
March 5. Cleary & Co. will also open the
season with a sale on the same day.
Jottlngl.
F. S. Peterson, formerly with Lan-
dreth's seed house, l?hiladelphia, and W.

Wm. Plumb arrived from Liverpool on

On his arrival he received a cablegram
containing the news of his father's death,
which occurred on Saturday last at
Buckden, Huntingdonshire, England.
The deceased gentleman had reached the
advanced age of 101 years.
Some changes are being made in the
plant and seed branches ot Siegel-
Cooper's big department store. Louis
Schmutz, Jr., will have the supplying of
the plants, succeeding Fritz Dressel, of
Weehawken, N. J., and the seeds and
bulbs will be furnished by A. V,. Nellis,
who will succeed J. L. Schiller, 34th
Street.
The Elizabeth Nursery Co. of Eliza-
beth, N. J., is breaking ground for six
new greenhouses, each of which is to be
20 feet wide and 150 feet ;iong. These
houses will be erected on an eight-acre
piece of property which the company re-
cently acquired. A boiler house 87 x 50
feet is under process of construction, and
when completed will be occupied by 12
boilers, this number being required to

Philadelphia. — One of the most
interesting team bowling matches ever
decided in Philadelphia was bowled by
the Century Wheelmen and Florists'
Club on Washington's Birthday. Each
club had lU men a side, and the Florists
won by the narrow margin of 182 pins.
The Century first team defeated the
Florists' first team by 101 pins. The
Florists' second team won by 4 pins,
giving the Century a lead of 07 pins in
the first half. At this stage of the game
the Wheelmen began to flourish tlieir
money, feeling very confident. The
Florists took all the money in sight, as
they had confidence in their captain and
in their finishing teams.
When the third team of Florists had
finished their game they had defeated the
Century third by 200 pins, giving the
Florists a lead of 112 pins tor the 15
men. To this lead the Florists' fourth
team added 70 pins, the Florists winning
out on the total tor 1!) men by 182 pins.
New York. — On Saturday evening
last the New York Florists' bowling
team played two tournament games
with the Gotham Juniors, winning one
and losing the other. The totals stand-
ing: Florists, 753—816; the Gotham
Juniors, 782—692.
On Monday evening the Florists met
the Ashcrotts, playing two games, losing
one and winning the other. The totals
were: Florists, 736— 834; Ashcrotts, 782
—692.

team taking part in this tournament are

Club News.
The February meeting of the Flo
rists' Club was held last week at the
storeroom of the Pittsburg Cut Flower
Co., and was unusually well attended,
considering the inclement weather. The
following officers were elected for the en-
suing year: President, William Falconer;
vice-president, E. C. Reinemau; secre-
tary, T. P. Langhans; assistant secre-
tary, J. W. Ludwig; treasurer, Fred
Burki; Executive Committee, P. S. Ran-
dolph, Fred Burki, and John Bader. The
Floral Exchange of Philadelphia sent a
nice hunch of their new rose Queen of
Edgely to E. C. Ludwig for exhibition
at the meeting. A lively discussion took
place as to the merits of this new rose,
and the general opiniou was that it
would hold its own with American
Beauty and be as extensively grown.
Albert M. Herr, of Lancaster, sent a bunch
of fine Ethel Crocker carnations to the
Pittsburg Cut FlowerCc, also for exhibi-
tion, which was greatly admired. This
carnation does not seem to do well with
any of our growers so far, The Marquis
being preferred to it. C. Blind, of Alle-
ghen.v, showed some extra fine roses —
Bride and Bridesmaid — fully equal to
any Eastern-grown; also a bunch of The
Marquis carnation. Charles Koenig, of
Bennett, exhibited a bunch of Cardinal
tulips, with fine long stems and large
blooms. A vote of thanks was tendered
to each exhibitor, and it is to be hoped
that these displays of cut blooms and
plantg will be continued hereafter at
every meeting, as they are much appre-
ciated and have a tendency to increase
the attendances.
John Bader's talk about palms was
postponed until next meeting. Ernst
Zieger's remarks about forcing tulips and
hyaciuths, as done at his father's estab-
lishment in Holland, were quite instruct-
ive, but demonstrated that it required
great rare and much attention to force
the bulbs for the Christmas holidays.
Bu-,iaesB B.ta.
Trade the week before Lent was
very satisfactory. Prices held up well,
and stock was rhoice and abundant.
Values never held up as well between
Christmas and Lent as the.y have done
this year, and as the weather is rather
more wintry like, stock will not be any
too plentiful for a little while, so prices
will not be much affected, even though
the Lenten season is upon us. Roses and
carnations are in fine condition. Ameri-
can Beauty is coming in more freely, but
many are very short-stemmed. Bulbous
stock is too abundant; tulips go best at
from $i to *5 per 100 for good pink, yel-
low and red kinds.
Fred Burki left lor Baltimore to attend
the Carnation Society's meeting. J.
Murchie and son, Sharon, Pa., went with
him. The cold spell kept a few others
from going.
Wm. Lauch, of Carrick, is happy. A
bouncing boy arrived the past week;
mother and son are doing well.
Visitors were S. S. Skidelsky, of Phila-
delphia, and J. A. Penman, of New York.
Isaac S. ("rail, of Monongahela City,
Pa., who died last week, was a man
•widely known and respected by all. Sev-
eral sons survive him and will likely
carry on the business. Mr. Crall was the
first near-by heavy shipper of carnations
to Pittsburg. At that timealltheflowers
were short-stemmed.

The twelfth annual meeting of the Cen
tral New York Horticultural Society
was held in the Chamber of Commerce
rooms, Friday evening, February 22.
The meeting was one of unusual interest.
After an entertainment, which consisted
of readings by Mrs. R. D. Jilleon, elocu-
tionist, and several very fine numbers on
the graphopone, the business part of the
meeting was taken up. Officers for the
ensuing year were elected as follows:
President, S. T. Betls; vice-presidents.
Rev. Wm. A. Beauchamp, A. D. Perrv, E.
A. Powell, J. Wm. Smith, A. C. Chase;
secretary, N. H. Chapman; treasurer,
David Campbell; Executive Committee:
S. W. Rose, C. A. Fox, Geo. Ham, Peter
Kay, F. H. Ebeling and John T. Roberts.
President Betts, in his talk to the so-
ciety during the evening, among other
things suggested the advisability of the
society giving another series of lectures,
one each to take place in March, April
and May. It was also proposed to hold
a rose show on the 6th and 7th of June
next, ntwhleh time the amateur growers
would be invited to participate in the
competition for prizes to be offered by
the society. A great deal of interest
was manifested in the plans for this ex-
hibition, and the prospects are that it
will be one of great importance to those
interested in floriculture in this commu-
nity. The society also took action to
send delegates to the second annual ex-
hibition of the American Rose Society,
which is to be held at the Waldorf-Asto-
ria, in New York C'ity, March 19, 20 and
21. President Bettsand David Campbell
were elected as delegates and A. C. Chase
and J. Wm. Smith as alternates to repre-
sent the society on that occasion. The
proposition was also to hold a chrys-
anthemum show on November 12, 1.3
and 14 next. The matter was not fully
decided, but the plans may be perfected
whereby the exhibition, under the aus-
pices of the society, may occur on the
above dates. The Central New York
Horticultural Societ.v has done a good
work in this community for a numlier of
years, and has encouraged a large inter-
est along the lines of horticulture and
floriculture. There is an earnest desire
on the part of the 80ciet.v to extend its
influence and enlarge its field of labor.
There must surely be a responsive co-
operation on the part of the general pub-
; lie to encourage the society in its educa-
tional efforts.

Trade Notes.
Business has been rather quiet dur-
ing the past week. Roses generally are
plentiful and good, excepting American
Beauty. Carnations, with the exception
of whiteones, are both good and abun-
dant. Plent.v of bulbous stock is still
around, and it moves slowly. Some very
good freesia is coming in, also good
mignonette, and lil.v of the valle.v. Fu-
neral work is plentiful and white flowers
are moving freely.
The February meeting of the Garden-
ers and Florists' Association was a very
good one, a large attendance being pres-
ent. Most of the arrangements for the
carnation meeting were made. The City
Council has given us the use of the pavil-
ion in the Horticultural Gardens, so the
meeting will be held there. A great
many florists from outside points are ex-

President of the " Carrie Nation " Society.
The writer doubts the originality
of the [ollowing joke, but here It goes. A
friend ot the president-elect telephoned
and said that he had noticed on one of
the bulletin boards downtown that the
writer had been elected president of the
national "Carrie Nation" society, and
advised him to get his hatchet in good
shape for the meeting. Rather tough on
a liberal-minded German !
E. A. Nelson returned Sunday night
from Baltimore, and says he was de-
lighted with the reception given all
strangers. He took along a choice selec-
tion of his pink seedling carnation, but
unfortunately they did not reach there
in good shape, consequently he did not
show them. The variety would have
certainly stood at the head ot the pink
class.
During the sickness of Maurice Thomp-
son, the "author," the small old city
of Vincennes by a council resolution dele-
gated a meml)er to present a floral trib-
ute to the man who wrote " Alice of Old
Vincennes." Later for the fuueral the
council atteided in a body, taking with
them a large floral offering.
Homer Wiegand, .youngest son of
Anthony Wiegand, dean of the florist
busiuess of this city, on Monday evening,
February 11, was married to Miss Esther
Van Arsdal, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.
U. Spicer. The wedding was private on
account of eickne-ss in the bride's family.
The young couple will live with Mr. and
Mrs. Anthony Wiegand for the present.
Ttie best wishes of the fraternity go with
the young people.
St. Valentine's Day business was satis-
factory, althbugb not as good as last
year. Violets sold well and not enough
could be had in time. Roses and carna-
tions are moderate in supply, conse-
quently there is no surplus. Pot plants
are selling better than ever, especially
good azaleas and cinerarias. Cheap com-
petition in decorative plants is bringing
down prices below a profit line. With
loss in cold weather and other damages,
no florist with business principles will
work for glory only.

ica of the newer varieties; is seen at H.

state of Trade.
It is the general feeling now, as
crops of flowers increase, that prices will
decline somewhat, but another factor
will soon be at work, viz., the street
men, to relieve any glut that may occur.
The top-grade rose and carnation stock
still gets fairly well cleared off, but inte-
rior flowers have a tendency to accumu-
late. Bulbous stock ot all kinds, includ-
ing lilies, is now very plentiful, Dutch
hyacinths being least so. Freesias, Ro-
man hyacinths and Paper White narcis-
sus are hard to clear off; tulips are abun-
dant and good. Callas are plentiful.
Not enough sweet peasare in the market
to create any demand for them. Violets
are abundant and sell cheap. Hardy
ferns have reached 25e. per 100; $2 per
1,000.
Some very good cut flowers of cycla-
men are In.
Chinese and other primulas, including
the Baby primrose, pans and pots of
bulbs, and cinerarias, are about all the
pot stock generally met with. Azaleas,
of course, are now quite a feature.
New Buildings.
Peter Reinberg and Peter Weiland
have purchased 18 acres of land about
three-quarters of a mile north of New
Castle, lad., and next week will send the
material there for the erection of ten
houses, each 300 feet in length. Con-
struction will begin at once. Everything
Is ready, including the iron gutters; and
the men will go from here to superintend
the work. Halt ot the houses will be de-
voted to roses, including 5,000 Marquis
de Litta, which have been ordered.
F. F. Benthey and his son-in-law, L. L.
Coatsworth, who form the firm ot F. F.
Benthey & Co., are now also in Indiana
prospecting, with a view to building
there. Either Indiana or Park Ridge,
near this city, may be selected. The site
has not been determined on at this writ-
ing. In any event, they will erect this
Spring a plant of 50,000 feet, mainly to

Roand About.
N. J. Wietor was highly pleased
with his trip to Baltimore, and has
finally decided to add Prosperity, Nor-
way, and Morning Glory carnations to
his stock. He was also greatly impressed
with Ivory, the white Golden Gate rose.
The Chicagoans generally are delighted
to heirthat Indianapolis has been select-
ed as the place of exhibition and meeting
for next year.
Bassett & Washburn add to their
fancy class Prosperity, Roosevelt, Nor-
way and Lorna carnations.
S. A. .Samuelson is displaying some
fine basket work in his show window
ready for Easter. He complains that he
cannot get a fine class ■ f suitable pot
plants, and that Mrs. Thomas W. Law-
son and The Marquis carnations go to
sleep too early. He thinks they are kept
too long on the plants.
Carl Cropp, of Vaughan's Seed Store, is
now on a trip among the Western seed
growers.
.1. C. Vaughan reports the mail trade
ahead ot last .year and prospects bright.
McKellar & Winterson are out with a
brand-new lot ot signs that "he who
runs may read."
Archie Spencer, manager (or Peter
Reinberg, reports shipments of $.50(1
worth of rooted cuttings and plants on
Tuesday, one order being for 16,000 car-
nation cuttings.
Walter Retzer has experienced a great
retail bUBiness during February. The
firm has opened a branch at Rogers'
Park.
George Wittbold's lilies are anything
but satisfactory this year, and it looks
as though they will hardly be in for
Easter.

Cincinnati.
The Cincinnati delegation arrived
home all safe Sunday morning after a
most delightful stop off at Oakland, Md.
Business is still satisfactory and not
enough good stock is f)n hand to fill all
orders. We have had (juite a spell of
winter during the past week.
Wm. Murphy and T. Windram have re-
turned from their ('hlcago trip, and give
a glowing account of the fiorist business
in Chicago.
In my notes of February 16 1 failed to
give W. K. Partridge credit for walking
off with all the "carnation prizes" at the
exhibition. Aud, by the way, our next
meeting, which is strictly a "carnation
meeting," occurs Saturday, March 0. We
trust our friends who have new carna-
tions to sell will nddress their boxes to
the Jabez Klllott Flower Market, care of
the Superlntndent, when the flowers
will have the best of care and he [jropcrly

Club Meeting.
A well-attendedj and interesting
meeting tools place on February 14,
President Guy in tlie chair. The affair
was to have been our annual rose show,
but 1 am sorry to state it was a first"
class failure, only one vase of roses being
staged for competition, and that by
Fred. Amman, of Edwardsville — a
very nice.vase of. Bride, Bridesmaid, and
Perle. He won bauds down. A vase of
exceedingly well-grown Golden Gate, for
exhibition', only, was sent by Ellison &
Tessou. ^From .what we can see and
hear, this rose is destined to displace the
time-honored Perle, which seems to be
less called for every year.
We had asked the growers of new roses
to send us specimens of these, but the
growers seemed to be short of bloom,
busy propagating, etc. Letters to that
effect were received from the E. G. Hill
Co., the Vesey Co., and others. The
crowd was disappointed for a while, but
soon became iuterested in the order of
business which was taken up. Among
otherthingswasthe subject of new roses.
Fred Amman related his experience with
Liberty. He said that he procured 100
plants last Spring and under favorable
auspices? They made a good Summer
growth and looked well, until about
Christmas, when they took a notion to
rest, and had been resting ever since, not
vvitlnetaudiug every effort to get them
growing.
Chas. Connon had a very similar expe-
rience; "lut he is of the opinion that
when the management of this variety is
better understood it will be allright,and
will prove a very valuable ruse. Mr.
Schray's experience is that the fioweis
come single and bull-headed in mid-win-
ter. He has found that the variety likes
best a temperature of OOdegreesat night.
Max Hertzog showed some grafted ruses
seven weeks old that had united and
made splendid roots for that period of
growth.
Interestingessays were read by Messrs.
Fred C. Weber and J.J. Beneke. Both
papers were fully appreciated and the
essayists received the thanks of the club.
A letter was read by our secretary from
the secretary of the Toronto Gardeners
and Florists' Association, asking how
we kept up the iuterest of our members.
This was answered, giving full details,
though vve have not much to be proud
of, as our attendance gets down pretty
low at times.
Inquiry through the question box re-
vealed the fact that from 10 to 40 per
cent, of the Harrisii lilies being grown
were diseased. L. longiUorum will be
more generally cultivated hereafter. In
reply to the question: " Are orchids be-
coming in greater demand ?" Mr. Tesson
stated that they were steadily gaining
in poijularity, but the trouble in this city
was that they could not be procured
with any degree of regularity, and conse-
quently could not be talked up aud
pushed like something that was in steady
supply. We could bear of no one who
was growiug anything that might be
placed under the category of novelties.
In a discussion as to the merits of some
ol the newer carnations, Ethel Crocker
was pronounced by several as being
worthless. Genevieve Lord has given
better satisfaction. Mrs. Frances Joost
is considered by several as the best all-
around pink in geueralculiivation. Most
ol the others have not been tried long
enough to advance an opinion on them.
John W. Kunz, a trustee, having
dropped his membership, Dr. A. F. Hal-
etead was elected to fill the vacancy.
Trade is Quiet.
As usual, with the advent of Lent
business has quieted down very consider-
ably. Most all the retail men report this
c ndition. Wholesale dealers generally
claim to sell out fairly well at prices
that are quite satisfactory. American
Beauty are worth $1.50 to $5 per dozen;
other roses, of best quality, 6e. to 8c.
High-grade carnations still bring 4c.
Tliis holding up of prices on good stock
is due to the rather limited receipts with
good demand. Callas and Easter lilies
bring 12i/.c. to 15c.; lily of the valley 4c.;
tulips sellpoorly at 2c. Violets in small
lots bring 40c. per 100, or $2.50 to $3.50
per 1,000. There is still an over-supply
of Roman hyacinths at IVoc; narcissus
sells at 21/2C. to 3c.
W. E. Jordan's delivery wagon was
lately demolished in a collision with an
electric car. Willie is unfortunate with
these cars, as he is hardly well yet from
his recent injury through a car accident.

The Question of Color Relative to Flowers.
BY F. SCHUYLER flATHEWS.
PART II.
In the previous article ou tliis sub-
ject we settled upon fourteen different
uses belonging to tlie spectrum, each of
which is well represented in the floral
world. Now to return to another ex-
periment with the prism. If it is held to
the eye as one stands in a window, one
will see another combination of hues dif-
ferent from that which was revealed in
the splotch of color thrown ou the bit of
white paper.
The paper seemed to be tinted only
with violet, green and red; the scarcei.v
discerned blue and yellow were reduced
to mere lines in width. Now look through
the prism and observe the edges of some
object. Marvelously enough, green is ab-
sent, or nearly so; red becomes scarlet;
violet Is not nearly so prominent, and
there are perfectly clear rather broad
bands of blue and yellow. What is more,
the colors are strangejy separated; blue
and violet are on one edge, yellow and
red on another; beneath the red seems
to be a substratum of yellow which turns
the former to scarlet.
Thus we now possess an oculardemon-
stration of the prismatic simple colors in
Fig. 5. Supposing we have twisted the
prism about until on some thin, bare
twig out of doors we see all of the colorH
united into one clny rainbow-like band in
the following arrangement: yellow, or-
ange, scarlet, red, crimson (rather crim-
son-pink, it Is so pale), magenta, purple,
violet, and blue. I think after this experi-
ment we may let all color-charts go, ex-
cept when we may choose to show their
weakness. With 1-t colors fairly defined,
we may safely proceed to describe some
of the specific tints and tones. Pure yel-
low in a dilute state is exactly represent-
ed by a bit of pure sulphur; golden-yel-
low diluted is exactly straw color; orange
diluted is exactly the color of salmon-
flesh; orange-scarlet diluted greatly is
equivalent to salmon-pink; pure red di-
luted is equivalent to pure pink; crimson
diluted Is crimson-pink; magenta diluted
is pink-lilac, purple diluted Is lilac; violet

I. Basic-hues. z. Diluted with wliite.
3. Greatly diluted with white.
diluted is blue-lilac, or on the other hand
violet diluted and a trifle dimmed is equiv-
alent to lavender; blue diluted is simply
pale blue; ultramarine diluted woulii pro-
duce a pale violet-blue. Turquoise-blue
never occurs in flowers, but it is a color
readily identified and therefore legitimate,
although there are greenish and bluish
examples of the stone. Crimson Is a color
absolutely without a taint of yellow In
It. Scarlet is a color suffused with yel-
low; magenta is a rich purple-crimson;
ultramarine is an intense blue bordering
on violet. Maroon is a dark brown-red;
cardinal is an Intense red bordering on
crimson, but a not very definite hue,
though a popular one. Every color with
the prefix "dark" is equivalent to that
color mixed with black; the prefix "in-
tense" precludes the possibility of black
being mixed with the color. Flesh color
is a self-evident pale salmon tint. Car-
mine is a nearly pure red; it is a trifle
modified with yellow.
Fig. 6 is a table of tints, showing the
basic color of the tint, and Fig. 7 is a ta-
ble of toned color, showing the basic
color of the tone. Beyond these names
there are evidently many popular and
legitimate ones, which we will consider
absolutely determined by pigments which
may be bought for a small amount of
change in one's pocket. It does not seem
as though Ihere is any excuse for one
who does not possess a thorough knowl-
edge of at least these 10 hues.
As for the legitimacy of the names, all
I can say is, whole ages of time have
established that without perndventure.
Hence, in view of the fact that we can
use even a limited nomenclature of color
with perfect means of IdentiBeation, I
think we can sweep away such useless
names as the following as we would so
much rubbish: Caf^-au-lait, cerise, rose-
azure, ca^rulean blue, chamois, cyan blue,
alizarine red, royal blue, terra-vert, tyri-
an purple, apricot, salmon rose, &ru, elec-
tric blue, reseda green, cherry-crimson,
etc. I might continue ludeHnitely with
Fig
-Idealized spectrum, showing colors which combined make white light. The colors
opposite each other are complementary, and harmonize perfectly.
later. At present we will find it useful
to compare a list of popular and useless
names with those which it is perfectly
plain are practical and easy of identifi-
cation.

Of the colors above named only those
marked with an asterisk can be abso-

The rest are liable to Interpretation, or.
In other words, their exact definition is
a matter of expert opinion. The artist's
color-box will determine the following
colors: Lemon-yellow, yellow-ocher,
orange-vermilion, vermilion, crimson-
lake, magenta, cobalt blue, ultramarine
blue, indigo, emerald-green. Such varia-
tions of these hues as may happen to ex-
ist are too trifling to deserve notice. We
have, therefore, ten colors which may be
a perfectly bewildering list of odd and
unnecessary names for colors, but where
would be the use? Suffice it to say a
multitude of names is confusing, and on
that account alone we ought to sweep
away useless synonyms, together with
everything else which smacks of oddity
and affectation.
But there are many names which I
have no right to disregard, although
personally I see no good reason for their
retention. These names are under the
title of useless in my list above, and I
shall have more to say about them later.
At present we are about to examine a
maze of hues and tints which require ac-
curate identification by some kind of a
title, popular or scientific, which will
prove both simple and practical.
Pan-American Progress.
In a little less than eight weeks the
gates of the Pan-American Exposition
will be thrown open to the public. The
question is asked repeatedly—-' Will it be
ready ? " The writer has never seen other
expositions till the season was well ad-
vanced and all was neatness and order,
but from what visitors and those con-
nected with other expositions say, we
are much in advance, and with the excep-
tion of the finishing touch of grass imme-
diately surrounding the large buildings,
all will be complete. The buildings are
practically all finished. Nearly all of
them have their last coat of paint, and
the shades and tints of color that adorn
the Machinery Building, the Liberal Arts,
Electricity, Horticulture, and other noble
buildings cannot be described, unless by
an artist second only to the master who
laid them on. The coloring of the build-
ings Is one of the charms of the exposi-
tion, and when lighted up by thousands
of electric lights, as was the Agriculture
Building a few nights ago, the effect is
entrancing beyond my feeble powers of
description.
The great bridge between the approach
and theGrand Esplanade, beneath which
is the marvelous grotto covering about
two acres and connecting the east and
west Mirror Lakes, Is nearlng comple-
tion. Fiom each corner there arises a
tower 100 feet high, elaborately adorned
with statuary and from which at night
a thousand electric lights will shine.
The statuary on the exterior of the
buildings is another feature which was
never befoi-e attempted on such an elabo-
rate scale, and not only on the buildings,
but In the many courts and fountain ba-
sins, the groups of statuary give the
grounds a magnificent appearance. Some
five hundred vases, most of them three
feet in diameter, are being made on the
grounds from the material known as
" staff." These will be used near many of
the buildingsand the Court of Fountains.
They will be filled by the Landscape De-
partment, some with specimen palms and
others with flowering plants and droop-
ing vines. The two large aquatic basins,
each 1^5 feet in diameter, one just south
of the Machinery Building and the other
In a corresponding position in front of
the Liberal Arts Buiding, are not only
grandly situated as an adornment to the
general plan, but are in a warm and
sheltered soot. The Victoria Eegia and
tender nympha>as are being raised in one
of the conservatories so that strong
plants can be ready for the basins by the
middle of May.
The Department of Works is at this
moment receiving carloads of trees,
which are being put in place. We have
seen seasons (notably that of two years
ago) when Winter was gone by the 10th
of March. If weshould beso blessed this
Spring, then the Pan-American will be
most assuredly complete in every detail
on the opening day. if Spring is a month
later, as it often is here, then you must
give U8 ten days extra time to cover
every necessary spot with the pleasing
grass, which soothes the eye and hides
such a multitude of sins.
The Winter here has been the most fa-
vorable for tree and shrub and hardy
plants and bulbs that we can remember,
scarcely a night below zero, but moder-
ately steady cold, and with a coating of
snow about 18 inches deep that has kept
everything well protected.
Wm. Scott.
Manchester, N. H.— It is seldom that
the fire fiend benefits the craft as it does
the clothing stores, but A. G. Hood is the
fortunate man this time. While the fire,
which originated from some unknown
cause in the boiler pit, damaged both
structures and stock, as he intends put-
ting up a new plant on another site im-
mediately the weather is favorable, and
was well insured, the accident will benefit
him. The curious part of this fire was
that while it swept through passages
and houses. It was confined inside. Mr.
Hood was from home at the time, and
his foreman, Mr. Sutherland, bewails the
loss of a handsome mustache and Van-
dyke beard as the result of his efforts to
extinguish the fire. W.M.

Weather and Trade,
Though on some days reeeatly it
has softened up a bit, we still have win-
try weather, and are now enjoying the
tenth week oJ continued sleighing. Just
at present more general business is on in
cut-flower lines than for a while back,
and so trade may be called fair, with
flowers in good supply for most needs.
Club News.
A club meeting was held on Mon-
day of this week at the Gruener Hotel.
Much routine and new business was
transacted. George Troup, superintend-
ent of Forest Lawn Cemetery, was duly
initiated as a member. Nominations for
election of officers for the next current
year, beginning on the 19th, at which
time the annual election will be held, re-
sulted as follows: For president, W. F.
Kasting and J. l.Cowell; vice-president,
W. A. Adams, Daniel B. Long and James
Braik; secretary, Wm. Legg and Daniel
B. Long; financial secretary, Emil
Broaker; treasurer, Charles W. Keitsch
and David Scott.
Charles W. Keitsch has been recom-
mended for manager of the S. A. F. con-
vention trade exhibit, subject to the ap-
proval of the Executive Committee.
The S. A. F. Executive Committee.
In all that goes with theimpressive
appearance ofatidy-lookingsetof brainy
individuals, the body honored us with
their presence on Tuesday evening, mak-
ing the Genesee their headquarters for
sessions. So many varied parts of this
country are represented by this body as
to be truly representative of many inter-
ests. Under President O'Mara's energetic
sway, business sessions were the order
early in the day. Directly after lunch the
body visited the city convention hall,
where the meetings and trade exhibit are
to be cared for. The general features of
tills hall seemed to meet with ample ap-
proval all round, the structure seeming
to include every possibly desired feature,
embracing a ground floor exhibition
space, two sides lighted, and most ample
imensions.
J. jsides the business on hand on
Wilnesday, it is intended to show the
mij nbersot the committee the Pan- Ameri-
ca as it now is, Superintendent of Flori-
cij ;ure Wm. Scott having influenced spe-
dii favored privileges. Some social
coi rtesy, under the committeeship of
AtJ ims, Scott and Keitsch as an enter-
l^ilnment committee, is also expected to
develop.
Recent visitors included T. T. Gould,
of Middleport, Paul Berkowitz and
Walter Mott, of Philadelphia. Vim.

Trade Notes.
Our florists are finding business,
since the advent of Lent, quiet. Funeral
work, however, has been heavy. Stock
is becoming more plentiful, but there is a
scarcity of white fiowers. There are so
many violets on the market that the
grower hardly gets the cost of gathering
the flowers. One department store was
selling large bunches for 15 cents last
week, while they are sold on the street
corners for even less money. Bulbous
stock finds a fair demand. Azaleas are
very much in evidence. They do not sell
as readily as informer years. The down
town stores have their windows deco-
rated tor the first time with Japanese
fern balls, which are finding a ready
demand. Ilennie & Pino report a heavy
sale of these goods, both wholesale and
retail.
Club News,
At the last meeting of the Florists
and Gardeners' Club it was voted that the
club hold a carnation exhibition on May
9. There are several very good seedling
carnations around here, and indications
point to a first class show. The next
club meeting will be held March 14, in
the rooms at 96 Westminster Street.
It is rumored on the street that Johnny
Wood will shortly retire from the firm of
Hazard & Wood and remove to Buffalo,
N. Y., where he intends going into the
flower business.
As soon as the weather permits M. J.
Leach & Sons, Pawtucket, R. I., intend
erecting a new greenhouse. 175 x 26 feet,
for the growing of carnations.
Grover & Schuyler have leased the
greenhouses of J. F. Parks & Co. and
will continue the business at 54 Olney
Street. Mr. Grover formerly belonged
in Portsmouth, N. H.
Wm. J. Critchley, dealer in florists' sup-
plies, has sold out his business and re-
moved to New York. M. A.
Philadelphia.
Business Items,
Trade in the stores has been quiet
the past week; very little work of any
kind is going on. While flowers are not
coming in so plentifully, they are accumu-
lating at the wholesale houses; shipping
orders to other cities have fallen oft very
considerably.
Jottings,
John Westcott is now busy ship-
ping material for the new clubhouse
which he is to build on his farm down at
Barnegat Bay.
Robert Kift will open a store on the
board walk at Atlantic City .next week,
temporarily from now until Easter, the
principal object being to display and sell
his Fairy vases and stands.
Milton Woodroffe has resigned from
the wholesale commission Arm of Wood-
roffe & Bernheimer.
Club Meeting,
The meeting on Tuesday last was
a great success, being the best attended
in many months. The smoker following
was the attraction, and brought out
many active members not seen at the
clubroom for some time. William P.
Craig read an interesting paper on the
recent convention of the American Car-
nation Society, and in connection there-
with invited various growers to make
exhibits of new carnations— a splendid
idea, which proved a great success.
Dailledouze Bros, sent a vase of Pros-
perity, and F. Dorner & Son a vase of
Lorna, their new white.
Hugh Graham staged four vases of
new seedlings, all promising, of good
form and habit. The varieties were Mrs.
A. Van Rensselaer, pink; Bellevue, cerise
pink, and two seedlings of the Daybreak
type, one having darker pink stripes on
the petals.
Robert Craig & Sons exhibited a grand
lot of carnations— 21 vases in all. In
this lot were Adonis and all the leading
varieties. All were well grown and first-
class flowers.
John A. Shellem staged a vase of his
new freesia, a great improvement over
the old kind, the flowers being larger and
more of them, with greater fragrance.
This is the resultof some ten years' work
in crossing. The American Rose Co.
showed two vases of their new rose Ivory
(white Golden Gate), which were much
admired. The flowers in one vase were
freshly cut and in the other were blooms
cut February 14. The latter were a
great surprise to all, showing the rose
to be a good keeper.
The Floral Exchange exhibited a vase
of the Queen of Edgely rose, also for the
first time the three silver medals won by
this rose and the original letter received
from the late Queen of England. They
also showed a few well-grown young
plants of the new rose. David Rust.
Pittsburg.
The Market.
Trade has not been very active the
past ten days. There is an abundance of
good stock of all sorts. The price of
roses and carnations has dropped a lit-
tle, also on Harrisii lilies, although the
latter are not very plentiful yet. The
demand for them is light. Bulbous stock
goes slow; too much of it is on the mar-
ket. Violets, at moderate prices, sell
fairly well.
The plant and seed trade has weakened
on account of the severe weather.
The News.
Hartman Bros., who left the city
about a year ago and went to Warren,
Ohio, have returned to Allegheny, and
are connected with John Bader's estab-
lishment.
Superintendent Falconer, of Schenley
Park, spent a few days east.
E. C. Ludwig has acquired more space
for his market stand and has now the
largest stand in the Allegheny market.
Mr. Ludwig has been rather unfortunate
of late. Last week his new wagon and
liorse slid down a steep hill, but luckily
was not much damaged, and thieves on
two occasions stole goods from his wagon
to the amount of over $50.
John Bader has sold his old residence
and moved into his new palatial house.
The March meeting of the Florists'
Club takes place Thursday, March 14, at
the storeroom of the Pittsburg Cutflower
Co. There will be a talk on palms by
John Bader, and Fred Burki and C.
Blind will tell what they saw at the Car-
nation Society'sconveutionin Baltimore.
E. C. Reineman.
Boston.
The Market.
Business remains very quiet, which,
together with a steady increase in the
supply of flowers, is causing a falling off
in values. American Beauty roses are com-
ing along in large numbers and moving
more slowly at lower prices. The same
holds true of Bride and Bridesmaid and
other roses, though the supply of white
ones has been a little short, and these
flowers in good demand.
Carnations now bring $2 a hundred,
while extras and fancies run to f 3 and
13.50. Fancy white realize $4, good
grades making $2.50 to $3 per 100.
Bulbous stock continues much too
plentiful, and growers are forced to sell
at values less than the cost of the bulbs.
Quantities of dattodils are disposed of at
eight, nine and ten dozen tor $1. Prin-
ceps holds at $1.50 to $5 per 100, as do
Posticus. Campernelles sell at 50c. per
100. Empress and Horsfieldii are now
coming in, the former making $4 per
100, the latter $5. Tulips, too, are in
excess of the demand and move slowly.
Outside of double varieties and one or
two of the best single ones, prices are
low. Murillo,Tournesol and other double
varieties make $4 per 100, and Cottage
Maid and Keizerskroon in singles $3
per 100. Most of the other singles sell
at $2 and $2.50, some going cheaper.
Hyacinths are in good supply, but are
hardly in overstock. Lilies are coming
along fast and move more slowly. Cal-
las now sell at .50c. to 75c. per dozen,
extra grade going to $1. Longiflorums
and Harrisii make $6 to $8 per 100; ex-
tras $10.
Violets are a great drug on the market.
There is absolutely no outlet for much of
the stock received. Valley is in good sup-
ply, but moves slowly. Mignonette has
become very plentiful. A few sweet peas
sell well at$1.50to $2 per dozen bunches
of 12 or 15 sprays each.

Washington, where he spent three or four
days during inauguration time.

In connection with the Rose Society's
annual show, E. M. Wood sent circulars
to the ladies of Boston's "400," asking
the privilege of using their names as pa-
tronesses in connection with the exhibi-
tion. He has received many favorable
responses, and in one instance, that of
Mrs. J. Arthur Bcebe, a check for $25
was inclosed with her reply.
Owing to a misunderstanding, I re-
ferred to Lawrence J. Flyun in my notes
in the issue of February 23 as former
manager for George A. Sutherland. This
should read "formerly with Geo. A,

Frank Poore has about retired from
the flower business. He closed up his
greenhouses last Fall and has not done
anything with them since. It is report-
ed that they are to be leased or sold. He
disposed of his retail store to Chas. Mc-
Laughlin.
George Hill reports the season thus far
as having been very good.

The Market.
The first effect of Lent was seen
during the latter part of the week, when
stock commenced to accumulate. In
order to move the large quantity it was
necessary to reduce prices somewhat, but
at this writing the scene has changed a
little and stock is moving and at better
Hgures. The outlook for Easter is good,
and I think weshall have a good supply
of stock, especially of carnations.
March came in very quietly, but by
Sunday the wind was blowing a gale and
considerable damage was done to green-
houses where the ventilators werecaught
open. Wittersta;tter and Conger are the
only ones I have heard of who lost some
glass from the above cause.
W. K. Partridge, of Lockland, Ohio,

European Notes.
Intense cold still prevails over central
Europe, and north and south of a line
stretching from Erfurt to Angers much
suow has fallen during the present week.
Round Angers for eight days past the
frost has been very severe, and the out-
look for plants in the open is cheerless in
the extreme.
Reports just to hand from Erfurt speak
of the snow lying six feet deep, but this
must, of course, be In the drifts. Similar
conditions prevail in the Hartz Moun-
tains not far from Quedlinburg, while in
Berlin on February 20 the thermometer
registered 15 degrees F. below zero. In the
Vosgf 8 Mountains, in France, 18 degrees
below zero has also been recorded during
tlie week.
In that part of England which is of in-
terest to seedsmen, not more than 18 de-
grees of frost has been recorded, but as
the plants are mostly unprotected, they
look very sickly.
In Italy the greater part of the coijntry
is covered with snow, by which the cus-
tomary earl.v sowings are retarded. The
frost has not thus far seriously Injured
biennials.
Justice in England appears to be sure,
if slow, as a swindler who some four
.years back caused a good deal of trouble
to dealers in double daffodils has just
been sent to prison for three months. He
palmed off some cheap single varieties as
the true double and fully merits his some-
what severe sentence.
Mr. Brown, of the Brown Bag Filling
Machine Co., who has been making a
lengthy trip in Europe, proposes to re-
turn to America at the end of the current
week.
Utter stagnation characterizes the
market for clover seeds. No sales are
being made, and holders of high-priced
stocks are in a state of considerable anx-
iety. Italian rye grass maintains the
sensational advance in price, and peren-
nials of all weights get dearer every day.
In bird seeds, hemp is selling freely at
higher rates, and as the growers in
France are in touch with the market,
they persist in the determination to have
higher prices for radish or to neglect it
entirely in favor of the more profitable
article. Edropean Seeds.

BRIEFS FOR BUSY FLORISTS.
I'ahter is but four weeks away and
we must spare no effort to have plenty
ot flowering plants for this occasion. One
thing easv to have in time is pansies.
These when filled into fi-inch or 8-inch
pans make cheap and effective salable
stock. The coming week Is the right time
to fix up the plants. Go over the frames
and select those plants that are showing
Howerbuds; plant these quite close to-
gether in the pans; bring them into a
light greenhouse that Is kept cool, and
they will be a mass of flowers at Easter.
Mixed colors usually sell best, though it
win be found advisable to have some of
the pans filled with those of only one
color.
Lily of the valley in pots should be
put on the bench and allowed to come
along gradually.
Tulips and Hyacinths.— By the last of
the week these may come in. .Shade them
during the middle of the day for a few
days, as they are so yellow and tender
when first brought in. If the pots appear
to be infested with worms, give a good
watering with lime water.
Car.nations.- Beds that are showing
signs of exhaustion will be all the better
if a watering with liquid manure be given
once a week. Do not disturb the surface
of the soil much when cleaning over the
beds. Rubbing them over lightly with
the fingers and cleaning away any dead
leaves, etc., with the hands is all that
need be done. It cuttings are not yet all
taken, get them as soon as possible, as
they will root easier now than later on.
Roses for Easter, such as Crimson
Rambler and others, should now be
showing their clusters of buds. Every
effort possible must be put forth to keep
the plants free from aphis and red spider,
so that when the flowers begin to open
the plants may be perfectly clean, and
there will be no necessity tor syringing
lieavily or fumigating, running the risk
of spoiling the flowers.
Fumigating: Violets In Cold Frames.
I called attention recently to the suc-
cessful use of hydrocyanic acid gas in cold
frames for the destruction of the violet
aphis. I did not give specific directions
for the use ot the gas at that time, and to
meet the demand from New England,
Michigan, Canaila, New York, Maryland
and other places tor the latest informa-
tion give the following instructions:
1. Make the cold frames as nearly air-
tight as possible, and cover them with
blankets if necessary.
2. Estimate the cubic contents of air
space inclosed, and then calculate the
amount of cyanide necessary. For ex-
ample, suppose I had a frame containing
567 cubic feet. I multiply this by 0.15,
because I want to use 0.15 gramme cya-
nide per cubic feet. Therefore, 567X0.15
equals 85.05 grammes; reduced to ounces
by dividing by 28. a5, as there are 28.35
grammes in an ounce, gives us (85.05
divided by 28. 1(5) 3 ounces, the amount
of cyanide.
This inclosure would recjuire 3 ounces
cvanide, -i'/o ounces sulphuric acid and
6'!4 ounces "water. After the cyanide is
determined it is easy to estimate the acid
and water, as I always use a half mora
acid, liquid measure, than cyanide, and a
halt more water than acid.
3. Weigh the cyanide and wrap it in
paper or a bag. Measure the acid in a
glass beaker marked with ounces on the
side, and pour it in the earthen jar or
china bowl; measure the wateraud pour
upon the acid. When everything is in
readiness drop the cyanide, paper and
all, into the liquids and close the frames
quickly.
■i. Leave exposed 20 to .SO minutes
and no longer. Do the work on a dark,
cloud.v day, or late in the evening.
5. 'I'horonghly air the frames after-
ward, and empty the residue In the jars.
6. Do not inhale the gas, and do not
handle the cyanide carelcsHly. Both are
deadl.v poison If breathed or swallowed.
7. Use fused cyanide, '.)8-'.l'.i jicr cent,
pure. Get the hestgradeconinii'rclnl sulr
pnuric acid, specific gravity 1.8.'!.- Prof.
W. O. Johnson in New Koglaud Home-

The valueof the nursery stock Imported

1900 amounted to $972,385. Nursery

was valued at $107,172.
We have received from Johannes Bafui
Skovfrokontoret, Copenhagen, Denmark,
copy of a very useful pamphlet on the
subject of "The Importance of Tree Seed
Testing," being an extract from the trqns- i
actions of the Royal Scottish Arboricul-
tural Society. Herr Rafn has treated the
matter in a most exhaustive manner, and
his conclusions are extremely interesting
and instructive.
Nursery Trade with the South. —
Within the past two years there Is notice-
able a great difference in what nursery-
men of the North call the "Southern
trade." For years and years following
the Civil War but little was done either
in selling to or buying from the South.
But at the present time there is quite a
business done both ways. Not only has
the South found customers for her prod-
ucts among the nurserymen of the
North, but she has found an opening in
the Old World, and such firms as the
Berckmans Co. and others ship largely
to Europe and Africa, as well as to the
South American countries. This Is very
gratifying indeed. The Northern nurse-
ries find in the Southern ones customers
lor fruit stocks, seeds, evergreens of the
conlferons order, herbaceous plants, vines
and general stock, and in the States bor-
dering the North there are gentlemen of
wealth who have found pleasure In beau-
tifying their grounds with trees and
shrubs culled from Northern nurseries.
From the South the North receives such
stock as the Mariana plum and Manetti
rose, as well as very many small fruit trees,
such as pear, peach, plum, etc. There is
in some minds an idea that fruit trees
from the South are not good for Northern
plantings, but there is nothing in this at
all. The peach, pear or plum of one, two
or three years' growth brought North
will do as well as home-grown stock. It
is not a case of something which has
been native of the South so long as to
take on the character of native trees.
That trees do change their character in
time in th's respect there Is no doubt;
but it takes many more than two or
three years to accomplish the change. It
has been found that in the case of some
forest trees, native alike to Pennsylvania
and Georgia, seeds from the Georgian
trees produce tender seedlings. The com-
mon hickory nuts and the sweet gum are
examples. For this reason, when it is
desired to grow shrubs or trees further
north than they are native, it is wise to
take seed or seedlings from the most
northern native trees. This Is being done
and with some success with the grand
evergreen Magnolia grandiflora. Seed-
lings from Pennsylvania trees, it is hoped,
will prove hardier than those from seeds
obtained from the extreme South, and
there are large trees flowering and per-
fecting seeds in Philadelphia.
Visitors to Philadelphia the past week
included C. W. Ward, of the Cottage Gar-
dens, Queens, N. Y. Mr. Ward had been
to the meeting of the American Carna-
tion Society at Baltimore. Being also in
love with trees and shrubs, he dropped
in to see the nursery men on his route.
Effects of the Winter on Ever-
greens.— Though too early to speak of
the resultsof thecold weather on all ever-
freens,it is timely to call attention to what
as happened to some of the broad-leaved
ones. In fact. It will be opportune to do

accords with what they may observe. I
have urged lor years the great advantage
resulting from a mulching ot some kind
to keep the ground from freezing about
the roots ot evergreens, and as well ot
trees of all kinds transplanted in the Au-
tumn. I have explained how much bet-
ter rhododendrons wintered when they
have a good covering ot forest leaves
placed over their roots for Winter. The
large leaves of these plants and evergreen
leaves of all kinds make continuous calls
on the roots in Winter to supply mois-
ture, which they are losing by transpira-
tion. These calls can be met it the roots
are In unfrozen soil, but have to be Ig-
nored when frozen soil surrounds them.
It is true nature seeks to assist the rho-
dodendron in giving it the power to roll
up its leaves in freezing weather, lessen-
ing the exposed surface; still, a very great
deal is exposed.
The present Winter up to this writing,
March 2, has been a very trying one on
evergreens. Kor six weeks past the cold,
ttiough not severe, has been continuous,
and has been accompanied with high,
cold winds. Add to this an almost entire
absence of snow and rain. Place on this
the tact thatthe Autumn wasquite a dry
one, and ail gardeners will realize what a
flght evergreens have had. The ground
being bare of snow has made the sinking
In of the frost an easy matter. The soil
is frozen below all small evergreens.
This and the dryness ot the ground has
made It Impossible to supply the leaves,
and the result is that the foliage of plants
much exposed has dried up for lack ot
moisture. It Is not a scorching of the
leaves, such as severe freezings followed
by hot suns often leave in their wake, but
a drying up, and in some cases to such a
degree that the leaves crumble up on
being taken hold of.
What I would ask is that those having
charge of such evergreens as named
should examine Into this matternow, be-
fore Winter is over, and satisfy them-
selves, in order to determine what to do
next Winter to bring their evergreens
through In good condition.
Acer Polymorphnm (Japanese Ma-
ple).— The many beautiful varieties of
Japanese maple which now adorn so
many lawns are mostly varieties of A.
polymorphum. This, the typical form, is
a good-sized shrub as it grows here, and
has an ordinary green foliage. It is fairly
well known in collections, being sought
tor because of its prettily divided green
leaves, as well as for its lovely foliage in
the Autumn. The well-known blood-
leaved maple is a variety ot this one. The
size and formof leaf are the same in each.
A. polymorphum has foliage of a slight
coppery green throughout the season,
the outer leaves being slightly more
tinged with copper than the inner ones.
Indispensable as this shrub is through-
out the Summer, it is its brilliant coloring
In the last days ot the season that I
would now refer to. In the month of
November last year, when many other
maples had given up their foliage tor the
season, the leaves ot this one were bril-
liantly colored, every leaf being ot a rich
crimson. It is really as pretty a sight
then as the blood-leaved is in Spring. At
the time mentioned almost everything
else, save oaks, was bare of foliage, mak-
ing the specimens of this maple seem pret-
tier than ever. But, I think, even had
the sweet and the sour gum and other
trees and shrubs famous for their Fall
foliage been in lull display, this maple
would have kept its place among them.
I have known this shrub for years as a
desirable one tor Summer effect, as many
others have as well, and now I claim for
it a place among the best of those ad-
mired for their rich Fall coloring.
This and all other Japanese maples are
good pot plants, having no disposition
to quickly outgrow their bounds, and in
this shape are good selling articles at any
period ot the planting season.

carrying on the experiments.
Propagfatlng: Crimson Rambler Rose.
Editor Florists^ Exchange:
In your issue of February 9 last you
recommend old Crimson Rambler plants
to propagate from. I always find young
plants, planted in the house in April, to
do better than old plants. One ot the
former will average 50 to 60 cuttings in
the season. I root them in a hot bed,
and it takes them from two to three
weeks to root. I take five crops from
them. Arthur Doebel.

Spiraea (Astilbe).
This plant la to-day and has been for
many years exclusively used for forcing
purposes, the stock being mostly im.
ported. With this, as with many other
things, the question may be asked, Why
can the plants not be grown at home? I
am satisfied that as good an artcle for
the purpose In view can be grown here
as can be produced elsewhere, as I have
tor several years grown my own stock
with satisfactory results. My mode of
procedure with forced plants is to keep
them growing after the flowers are cut
until growth is completed, then gradu-
ally harden them off until the end of
April, when they are planted in the open
ground. Taking a plant that has been
grown in a 6-inch pot, with a sharp
spade I divide it into four equal sections,
planting each of the sections as indi-
vidual plants at distances of 1V4 by 2
feet apart. The soil has been previously
prepared and moderately enriched, and
I choose, if possible, a rather moist situ-
ation, but not shady. Here the plants
are kept growing by frequent cultivation
of the soil and an occasional soaking
of water during protracted dry spells. I
have lifted and forced the plants again
the second year after planting, but prefer
to leave them till the third year, it possi-
ble, bv which time the plants are large
enough to fill a 6-inch pot. We never
lift until they have been well frozen, as
the freezing facilitates the forcing process
considerably.
When the plants are potted they are
placed in a temperature of from 40 to 45
degrees and well watered. Here they
are left until fresh roots have been made;
then the temperature is increased by ten
degrees. When growth is well started,
a temperature of 60 degrees by night
and 75 degrees by day Is maintained, the
plants being fully exposed to light and
airfreely given on all favorable occasions.
A plentiful supply of water is now essen-
tial, and after the flower spikes are well
up, frequent applications of liquid ma-
nure will materially assist their develop-
ment.
The newer variety S. astilboides flori-
bunda gives the best and largest spikes
and is most suitable for vase work, but
for making-up work the old form is still
preferred, as is also the dwarfer form, S.
compacta multlflura. All three varieties
are also grown exclusively and sold as
pot plants. Of course, when the plant
trade Is the principal issue there is not
the same chance of raising one's own
stock, still 1 am inclined to think it would
pay to sell enough cut to leave sufficient
stock on hand. Scotia.

Easter Plants
BL00IIIIN6 EASTER WEEK.
Time is money !
Lose no time !
Order your supply now I
I have an immense stock of the FINEST
and CHOICEST in the market, and in such
quantities that exceed anything that I ever
had and offered before. You would be aston-
ished if you could take a look in seven (7)
large greenhouses and an equal number 01
hot beds which are filled to the fullest ex-
tent, and devoted to the entire cultivation
of Easter plants alone. Therefore I will be
prepared to fill all orders, if sent in time, as
far as the supply will reach.
AZALEA INDICA.
I am one of the largest importers of these choice Easter plants and have about a thou-
sand more than last year. I raised these in large houses, 20x115 feet, erected for the cul-
tivation solely of these plants. These Azaleas were selected by myself last fall on my
second trip to Belgium, and as I am agent for a large concern there it gives you a chance
to purchase your goods at first hand and not through a middleman. I have only ne'v
stock; none left over from a year ago. I can offer you plants in bloom, or buds, blooming

Rose Show Plans.
Owing to the remari^able scope and
plan of the exhibition of the American
Kose Society, satisfaction to the public
and the exhibitors cannot be guaranteed
unless notice of entry is sent to the secre-
tary, Leonard Barron, 136 Liberty
Street, at the earliest possible moment.
The manager will not stage any exhibit
that has not been previously entered
with the secretary. Intendingexhibitors
will please mai£e a note of this.
The bail room will be laid out to repre-
sent a formal garden, with a pleached-
hedge, seven feet high, running around
three sides and inclosing the garden
proper. The public will have to traverse
one-half the length of this hedge before
entering the garden by a gate. At the
far end will be a pergola with 20 Corin-
thian columns, bases and capitois com-
plete, all in white, and surmounted by a
trellis work of green baclsed by a screen
of cedars. The center of the "floor will
bea stone well illuminated by electricity,
with a centerpiece of statuary, and hav-
ing fountains at worij. The design is the
suggestion of Mr. Barrett, the landscape
architect, and is constructed under the
supervision of John Kussell Pope, Esq.,
architect.
The show opens at 3 p. m. Tuesday,
March 19; afternoon tea will be served.
The price of ticitet the first day is $5 and
$1 each succeeding day. Members of the
society will be admitted at the opening
hour on presentation of the member's sea-
son tici^et, which has been already Issued
to all members in good standing. The
Executive Committee has instructed that
the membership boolis be closed during
the weel£ of the show.
American Rose Society.
A report seems to prevail that the
above society will hold a convention in
connection with the Pan-American Ex-
position, and inconsequence Mr. Leonard
Barron, the secretary, has received an
unnecessary lot of correspondence. The
Pan-American management intend to
hold an exhibition of tender roses in May
and of hardy roses in June, but not in
any way connected with the American
Rose Society, and we have heard of no
convention of the society being held here.
We trust that your readers and those in-
terested in the Rose Society will notice
this and cease bothering Mr. Barron.

bunch of my new double " twin" flower-
ing violet— thecoming violetof the twen-
tieth century and certainly a violet
well worthy of the name— as I did not
see any mention made in your issue of two
weeks ago of the fact that I surprised
everybody by showing a bunch of these
violets at the Eastern New York Horti-
cultural Society's show at the American
Institute, where 100 flowers were
awarded first piize. The flowers are
simply phenomenal. Some are close to
the size of carnation blooms. In the
bunch I send you I have on purpose put
in a few half-open flowers, so that you
can better see the flower when notquite
open. These will also give you more of
an idea as to the manner in which the
flowers grow.
To raise such blooms for market would
not pay, as the treatment and culture of
the plants require too much labor and
skill in order to produce such violets. It
shows, however, what can be done with
the sweetest of all flowers — the violet.
Geo. T. Sohuneman.
Baldwins, N. Y.
[The size of the violets is most remark-
able. The " twin " form is the result of a
fasciation, which was evident in seveial
of the flowers sent producing an Im-
mense bloom, of excellent color and
strong fragrance. The exhibit was men-
tioned in our report of the exhibition In
question, but at time of going to press
no award hud been made. — Ed.]
FIRES.
Canandaigua, N. Y.— The greenhouses
of A. W. Birch were damaged by fire on
Saturday, March 2. The loss is not
known; it was not covered by insurance.
Berlin, N. J.— A telegram received
from George J. Hughes at moment of
going to press informs us of the total
destruction of his greenhouse plant by
fire.
A Correction.
In advertisement of H. H. Berger &
Co., page 202, of last week's issue, read
Ktntia B. and F. Seed 1,000, $4.00, in-
stead of $1.00.
In the advertisement of H. Weber &
Sons, Oakland, Md.. p. 238, the price of
Norway and Egypt carnations is given as
50c. perdoz.; it should be $1.50 per doz.

Market Report.
Owing to the big demand in Wash-
ington, there was a little more life In the
business last Saturday, but this, of
course, proved only temporary. Severe
cold weather set in this week, and this
has tended to further aggravate the
glutted condition,especial1yintheca8e of
violets and some bulbous flowers. An
attempt was made to stop the flower
peddlers from plying their calling on
Broadway, and several arrests have been
made. What the outcome will be is still
in doubt.
Roses are not coming in very heavily,
and the top grades of Bride and Brides-
maid go fairly well at $8 and $10 per
100. The shorter grades, however, are
in excess of the demand, and meet with
indifferent sale at low figures. Short red
roses go even slower than the other col-
ors, many of them bringing as low as
50c. per 100. American Beauty have met
with little or no change; an effort was
made to push the specials to $5 per dozen,
but there has not been a day when they
could not be bought at $4 per dozen.
Carnations are plentiful, and prices are
various, as also are the grades. Good
ordinary William Scott bring $1.50, but
there are many coming in that cannot be
classed as good which are sold as low
as 75c. In the fancy grade8,red and crim-
son varieties are not bringing quite as
much as the pink and variegated kinds.
Orchids of any class are rather shy
just now. Violets are away down in
price, and the few cold days experienced
have tended to make them accumulate In
the hands of the dealers. Sweet peas and
mignonette do not seem to be wanted,
except in very small quantities. The
supply coming in is far in excess of the
demand, to obtain profitable returns.
Tulips, daffodils. Paper White narcissus
and Roman hyacinths are still plentiful.
The supply of these is being augmented
by shipments from the South, and the
prices on all are anything but satisfac-
tory. While a certain quantity can always
be disposed of at figures quoted, there is
usually a surplus that has to be carried
over, and then, if sold, has to go at a
much reduced figure, which pulis the
average price down considerably.
Lilies move only slowly, and the per-
centage of inferior blooms is the largest.
For the best, when picked out, 10c. Is
realized; the rest are sold at various
prices according to quality. Cailas also
hang around for several days sometimes,
and then go as low as 4c. each.
Freesia has been more popular this
season, and some fine blooms are on the
market. These sell in bunches of 12;
some are to be had at three bunches f r
25c., others fetch 25c. per bunch, such is
the difference in the quality received.
Lily of the valley Is a drug, and thou-
sand lots have been had for $15. Pan-
sies are in the market and bring 50c. per
100.
Auction Sales.
In the auction rooms of Wm. Elliott
& Sons andCieary & Co., the first sales of
the Spring season were held on Tuesday.
Spring bulbs and nursery stock were the
principal goods offered. The sales will
be continued twice a week throughout
the Spring months.
Brevities.
F. Smythe, of the firm of Wadley &
Smythe, retailers, has been appointed
purchasng and consulting architect of
the landscape department of the Pan-
American Exposition. Mr. Smythe will
make a tour of the country, purchasing
specimen palms and other decorative
plants.
The regular meeting of the New York
Florists' Club occurs Monday evening,
11th Inst., in the Elk rooms, corner 27th
Street and Broadway. This Is to be
" Rose Night," and E. G. Hill, of Rich-
mond, Ind., will read a paperon " Newer
Roses," which will surely be of interest
to every member. An exhibition of both
old and new roses will be made, and it is
hoped that all the members and friends
will make this display as attractive as
possible by sending in specimens of their
products. All flowers consigned to Sec-
retary John Young, 51 West 28th Street,
will be properly cared for and staged.
At the regular monthly meeting of the
New Jersey Floriculturai Society, held on
Wednesday evening, March 6, the subject
of pruning was introduced by J. C.
Williams.

Market and Trade Notes.
The weather is fitful; just now
there Is u blizzard on. Wind, sleet and 2
degrees below zero make a fine combina-
tion to stagnate business, but as jet it
has had butlittle perceptible etfect. Even
Lent Is not yet interfering with trade.
The bulk of the business is In funeral
work and shipping orders, although the
atter are not as large as usual. White
and Daybreak carnations are scarce;
other varieties are about equal to the
demand. Roses are plentiful, except an
occasional shortageon white; vioietsare
a glut; It is expected the demand will in-
crease as soon as this severe weather is
over. One firm threw out seven houses,
using the houses for something else, keep-
ing in one to supply regular custom.
The lily crop tor Easter is to be a dis-
appointment. L.longiflorum arrived late.
Easter is early and it looks as il there
will be plenty of lilies— right after Easter.
Every known expedient is being used to
hurry the plants along, extra piping being
put In, plants moved to a warmer house,
using hot water, extra syringings, etc.,
In the hope that not only will they grow
taller, but actually be in blossom in time.
There promises to bean awful lot of bulb
stock for Easter, large quantities of aza-
leas, hydrangeas, splrteas, etc.
There Is no change In prices and they
may remain firm until Easter. Hoses
bring $1 to Jl..')© per dozen; carnations
35c. to 50c.; caiias ^1.50 per dozen;
tulips 50c.; Von Sion, and Paper White
narcissus, 60c. per dozen; violets 15c.
Some very fine The Marquis carnation
are being cut at present, and could such
blooms be had for Christmas^the varlet.v
would be a dandy indeed. iJowever, It
will be given another chance, and cultu-
ral directions followed ver.v closely. It
must not suffer a check when planted,
and must be shaded tor two or three
weeks after planting to get a thorough
hold of the soil without wilting.
Recent visitors were George Kackham
and Frank Beard, of Detroit, and A. W.
WiUebrands, bulb agent for K. J. Kujk,
Holland. G. F. C.
Tarrytown, N. Y.
The Tarrytown Horticultural Society
held its regular monthly meeting Febru-
ary 28, President Smith in the chair,
with 30 members present. Reports were
made by the members who attended the
annual suppers given by the Westchester
County Gardeners' Association and the
Dutchess County Horticultural Society.
The delegates enjoyed a most pleasant
time. The committee reported progress
on the schedules for next Fall exhibition
and hope to have them ready for next
meeting. Wm. Turner had on exhibition
as usual a well-finished lot of carnation
The Marquis, for which the society
awarded him a certificate of merit.
J. Bradley, gardener to Mr. H. Laden-
burg, Hastings, N. Y., received honorable
mention for violets Marie Louise and
California. Mr. F. Gibson, gardener to
Mrs. Hale, received a similar award for
sprays of Begonia Souv. de Francois
Gaulaln and violets. L. A. Martin, gar-
dener to Mrs. C. C. Worthington, Irving-
ton, N. Y., was awarded a certificate of
merit for a bunch of mignonette in three
varieties, also honorable mention for vio-
lets Lady Hume Campbell.
Two essays were read, one by Wm.
Scott, gardener to J. Eastman, Esq.,
Tarrytown, on forcing lettuce, and one
by L.A. Martin on mignonette. Mr. Scott
said he preferred the variety Deacon for
forcing, that it was less eueceptlble to
disease than any other variety. He was
very careful to use only well-rotted stable
manure in his compost. He believed that
solid beds were better than raised benches.
He kept the tem[)erature at night at -tO
degrees. In the discussion Mr. Turner
said that he agreed with Mr. Scott's
methods, but had found that 45 degrees
at night was better than 40 degrees.
The variety Thorburn's Glass House
Mixture was earlier with him than any
other.
J. Bradley will lead the dlEcusslou on
violets at next meetiug. Two new mem-
bers were elected, A. Grierson, gardener
to Hicks Arnold, Esq., Rye, N. Y., and
Wm. Smith, gardener to Robert Mnllory,
Esq., Portchester, N. Y.
Some changes are going on about here
and we shall lose some of our members
shortly. I,. A. Martin.

Geraniums and
Carnations at Queens, N. Y.
The testing and iutroducing of new
varieties of geraniums as conducted by
C. W. Ward, at the Cottage Gardens,
(Jueens, N. Y., has assumed such enor-
mous proportions that several large
liouses filled with stoelt plants that are
planted in the benches are required to
provide the necessary cuttings. The
urea of glass devoted to this branch of
the business has to be added to year by
year.
As we mentioned sometime ago, the
method Mr. Ward follows in testing new
varieties while in the field during the
Summer is to keep a monthly record of
the general habit and flowering qualities
of each and every liind. It can safely be
said that such careful selection of the
lists has been made that only the cream
of the best varieties is housed in the Fall,
from which the listfor the coming season
is made and the young stock sent out.
Among the novelties in the round-
flowered section of geraniums, singles
that are specially adapted forpot culture
for the conservatory, the following stand
at the head: Mary Beaton, a pure white
with a fine large truss; Mary Stuart, a
soft red; Mary Seton, bright vermilion-
scarlet, with white blotch on upper pet-
als, and Mary Hamilton, a crimson-scar-
let, with white eye. Mrs. Chas. Pearson
is a warm orange-salmon, with a white
eye, the foliage being handsomely marked
with dark zone.
Among the novelties in single bedders
are Paul Harriot, a dwarf, bright orange-
scarlet, and Jean Aicaud, a splendid
grower with a rich crimson-purple fiower.
Roty Is a semi-double rose pink with a
medium dwarf habit.
Novelties in double bedders are Le
Soleil, a brilliant scarlet and a vigorous
grower; La Gaulois, another brilliant
scarlet.
In the single picquet section, Charles
Edmond is a delicate rose, with white
blotch on the upper petal and dotted
with brilliant carmine.
Of the large single- flowered varieties
that were introduced last year, Andrew
Lang, scarlet with white blotch, takes
the lead.
The leading standard varieties of the
singles in the round-flowered section are
Hall Caine, dwarf cherry red; Herrick,
scarlet with crimson shadings; Gertrude
Pearson, dwarf rose-pink; Ian Maclaren,
salmon color; Rudyard Kipling, crim-
son-purple, crimson blotch at base of
upper petals; Mark Twain, white dotted
with carmine, and Pink Domino, a pure
pink with bushy habit.
For bedding purposes the best single
and semi-doubles are Jean Viaud, Gran-
ville, and Millfleld Rival. For single scar-
let bedders, John P. Cleary, De La Vigne
and Chateaubriand can be relied upon.
Two of thebestsingle whites for bedding
are airs. J. M. Gaar and L'Aube. For a
good single salmon bedder the variety
C. W. Ward heads the list.
In the doublescarlet bedders we would
give tor the best three Alphonse Ric-
card, Pasteur and John Doyle; double
crimsons, Richelieu, La Fayette, Marvel
and S. A. Nutt. Double pink bedders,
Mme. Phillip Labrie, Mme. Barney and
Miss Frances Perkins. Double white bed-
ders, ICulalia and Mme. Buchner; double
carmine, CiBsar and Marquis de Mont-
mort.
Among the very dwarf and free-bloom-
ing varieties, Little Pink and Joyful are
the two leaders. In the double-flowered
salmon class may be mentioned Rena
Bazln, Mme. Landry, Mme. Charotteand
Mme. Jaulin.
Other good bedding kinds are Mme. J.
Oibiel, salmon, with white eye and white
border; Marquis de Castellane, bright
cherry red; Mme. De La Rous, bright
salmon; Mme. Chas. Molin, peach.v sal-
mon, and Thomas Meehan, a rosy pink.
In the ivy geraniums Leopard stands
out as quite distinct. Its orchid-like
flowers make it a most desirable subject
lor basket work.
Mrs. John G. Day is another variety
that Is sure to become popular; this is a
deep rose-colored flower and a very free
bloomer.
In the fancy pelargonium class Anita
is a new one with a beautiful flower. The
lower petals are pure white; the upper
ones a bright pink blotched with maroon
crimson and edged with white.
There is also a choice list of standard
pelargoniums, as well as a good stock
of those two small-flowered, well-known
varieties, Mrs. Layal and The Bride.
In carnations the most Interesting
sight is probably the seedling house. At
present this house is a m.iss of bloom,
but as each kind is known by number
only, we cannot begin to give an intelli-
gent description. That great strides are
being made toward the ideal flower is
evident on all sides. Not onl.v is the
habit of the plant and size of bloom
being bettered, but new and distinct va-
riations in color are also being produced.
Several very promising white and scarlet
varieties were noticed, and in crimsons
there are about ten kinds that will be kept
forfurthertrial,asthey all show excellent
qualities. Yellow is also well represent-
ed, there being several that give indica-
tion of being free as well as clear in color.
One strain of seed has been obtained
that is producing a purplish-blue flower,
and this is being worked upon continu-
ally with the d ^finite object of producing
a blue carnation. What the result will
be no one can tell, but Mr. Ward has got
a long way toward the blue flower in
the batch that Is blooming at the present
time.
In the houses where the carnations
are grown for cut flowers we must
30 feet wide, is nearing completion. The
Lord & Burnbam Co. are the builders.
This house is for growing carnations,
and is Mr. Ward's ideal house for the
purpose.
Among miscellaneous plants grown.
Begonia Gloire de Lorraine is a great
feature. The stock sent from here last
Christmas was of the very highest order,
and it is expected that a choice batch of
plants will be ready for the coming
Easter.
Intensive Cultivation.
The firm of Richard Vincent, Jr., & Son,
of Wliite Marsh, Md., is a familiar one to
the readers of The Florists' Exchange,
especially the senior member, who letbe
vice-president of the S. A. F, O. H. for
Maryland, and at thelrestablisbment can
be seen an excellent example of what
might well be termed "intensive cultiva-
tion." The firm are large growers of
vegetable plants under glass, in fact.
THE LATE JOHN GALVIN, BOSTON,
[See Obituary, page sir, March 2 issue.]
first mention Governor Roosevelt.
While this is strictly a fancy car-
nation, it has also proved itself to
be a heavy producer. Harry Fenn
is the name given to another crimson
variety, somewhat lighter in color than
Governor Roosevelt, and a great pro-
ducer. This sort will be disseminated
some time in the future. General Maceo
and General Gomez have become too well
known to need more than passing men-
tion. Mrs. T. W.Lawson has a house de-
voted to itself and is yielding magnifi-
cently. This variety has made a great
record here and will be grown in quanti-
ties. Morning Glory is a delicate pink
and a great producer. The Marquis and
Ethel Crocker have both proved unsatis-
factory. Mrs. G. M. Bradt is doing very
finely. There is also a descendant from
Mrs. Bradt, with very delicate lacings of
color, that is proving a success. 'This
variety will probably be named Viola
Allen. Lorna, the new white, is being
tried and more of it will be grown
another year. Golden Beauty and Nov-
elty are both doing well, the former va-
riety being one of the best yellows up to
date. Joseph H. Manley is a fine scarlet
sort and Is doing immensely.
Another new hou6e,245 feet long by
among the largest of the kind in the
country. Some idea of the extent of the
business done may be gleaned from the
following statistics relative to some of
the crops sold during the past season.
In celery plants there were disposed of
some 1,941,625; of lettuce plants, 736,-
000; of cabbage plants, 1,766,310; of
tomatoes, a little over 500,000; and
of cauliflowers, sweet potatoes, peppers
and other staple vegetables, about
110,000 each. One house, 228 x 28 feet,
is devoted entirely to the growing of
vegetable plants from seed. The seed is
sown crosswise of the benches and every
available inch of space is utilized. For
instance, between the rows of young cab-
bage celery is sown, the cabbage plants
being taken out and shipped before they
are large enough in any way to Interfere
with the growth of the celery. The same
is true with other plants, such as peppers
and eggplants. The house contains four
benches; it is heated by overhead flows
wlthreturnsunder the benches, the venti-
lating being done by Challenge machines,
only two of which are used tor this size
house, and Mr. Vincent assuresus they do
the work admirably.
Other stock, such as coleus, chrysan-
themums, geraniums, etc., are grown;
nothing is cultivated for cut flowers.
Mr. Vincent does not use any propagat-
ing house, the cuttings ot the hard- wood-
ed stock being potted immediately into
thumb pots and placed on the benches.
Soft-wooded stock, such as coleus, is
rooted in flats in a very fine quality of
sand, obtained on the premises. He has
had excellent success by this method, al-
most a full percentage ot the cuttings
striking.
A very large number of hardy pompon
chrysanthemums is raised, for which a
growing demand is experienced. Among
the varieties considered among the best
are Blushing Bride, an early light pink;
Eagle D'Or, yellow; F'red Peele, a small
light pink; Fire Ball,yellow, tipped with
white; Golden Fleece, lemon yellow;
Globe D'Or, light yellow; Golden Pheas-
ant, a deep yellow; Gold Nugget, deep
orange; Maid of Kent, white; Mrs. Vin-
cent, rosy pink; and Prince of Wales,
which is considered the best white, the
flowers being very suitable for made up
work. Others thought highly of are
Regulus, a deep brownish; Rosinante, a
late pink; Thalia, a fine white; Tiber,
an early yellow.
Cannas and dahlias are also grown in
large quantities, as well as Caladium
esculentum. Mr. Vincent considers Stella
Gurney oneof the best varieties of agera-
tum and is growing it extensivel.y. Roses
of the most popular varieties are also
raised in large numbers. Between the
rose plants, cabbage and sweet potato
plants are cultivated. All the stock seen
is in tip-top condition, showing theresuit
of careful treatment.
Mr. Vincent believes, and very properly,
that early vegetables could be profitably
grown by florists, especially tomatoes,
which are always in demand. Young
plants could be potted up and put on the
benches after the removal of the Easter
stock and brought into bearing in June.
Some of the best varieties tor this work
are Lorillard, Mayflower, and Dwarf
Champion.
The boiler house which the firm has re-
cently eonsiructed le one ot the best that
we have met with in a long time, being
Isolated from the greenhouses, and so
built as to allow of further extension of
the establishment, with consequent addi-
tional heating provision. .'Vt present
three Herendeen boilers have been in-
stalled, two of which are in constant use,
and give excellent satisfaction. The sec-
ond floor of the boiler house is used as a
workshop; the third forastorage or dry-
ing house for the caladium bulbs. The
erection of six more houses is contem-
plated in the near future.
It may be interesting to note that in
the reconstruction ot the present plant
aud the erection of some new buildings
the past year, as well as the installation
of the heating pipes, the bulk of the work
was done by Mr. Vincent's own family,
the boys having a special aptitude for
this class of work.
Wnter lilies are quite a feature here,
several large tanks inside and ponds out-
side having been provided for them.
One hundred and fifty acres are under
cutivatlon, 60 of these being used for the
growing ol vegetableplantsalone. Thne
crops in a season are obtained. Inaddl-
tion there are some 600 sash utilized tor
lettuce and cabbage plants.
The firm has first-class shipping facili-
ties, being situated in close proximity to
the Pennsylvania and Baltimore &
Ohio depots. A private wire runs from
each ot these depots to theestablishment.
Mr. Vincent has by patient industry
and perseverance, aided in later years by
his family of boys, built up a business
which extends to ever.y part of the coun-
try. Just now the Southern shipping
trade is opening up in first class shape,
and indications are for a large and satis-
factory season.

AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY.
Sub-Watering.
The following is a full report of the discus-
sion OH sub-waterint! at the recent conven-
tion of the American Carnation Society at
Baltimore:
J. L. Dillon, Bloomsburg, N. J., being
called on by President Halliday, said:
Last Beason we installed 10,000 square
teet of benches for sub- watering, and we
find the way we put it in, after we have
all our soil In the house, that it cost us,
as near as I can remember now, not hav-
ing the figures with me, about seven
cents per square foot, or about twice as
much as the ordinary benches we had
been using. We had been using 2x4
scantling lor the bottom of the benches
and then made them in the ordinary way.
We take our own plan for making the
sub-watering beds. Some 25 years ago,
when I was in the retail business, selUng
plants all over the country, I used to sell
a great man,v carnations in pots. At
that time we used to put coal ashes in
the bottoms of the pots. We told the
purchasers to place the pot in a saucer,
to put the water in the saucer, and none
on the top of the pot. In that way they
had better success with the carnation
than by watering lathe usual way. This
was simply sub-watering, although not
known by that name at that time.
When we came lo put in our beds,
which, by the way, are all solid beds, we
made concrete of one part Portland ce-
ment and five parts of the coal ashes as
they came from the boiler. We put up
boards along the sides of the beds about
four Inches apart and filled in the space
between, making a wall on each side.
We then leveled off the bottom of the bed
in sections about 16 feet in length. This
had to be done on account of our houses
being built sloping In order to carry the
water off our gutters. We run 16 feet
and then made a tank; then another 16
feet, and so on. We placed a round tile
in each one of these tanks to run the
water in, and ran a V-shaped tile across
and lengthwise of the bed so that the
water could pass quickly to all pans
of the tank. We then took ashes and
screened them and put three inches of
coarse ashes in the bottom. On the top
of this we put an inch of fine ashes. This
made four inches of ashes. I should have
said that we made this tank 8 inches
deep. We then put four inches of soil on
top and were ready for planting. We
found last year that in planting we had
to be very careful. When we first planted
we made the bed too wet, watering it
from underneath and also on top. We
found It was necessary only to water on
top at first and to he very careful and
treat the beds the same as the ordinary
carnation bed. Later in theseasou, about
November 1, we put water in below and
did not water the top. We found that
one man with two or three hose will do
the watering of about three or four per-
sons in the ordinary way. He can turn
the water in the tanks so much faster
than he could by watering in the usual
way, therefore he can do five times as
much watering. One watering will last
double the length of time when placed
underneath than when put on top. We
find benefit in theplants growing ranker,
with stronger stems and tine growth.
We this year added one more house,
showing that we are well pleased with
sub-watering, making about 13,000
square feet. We have no way of compar-
ing in the new place to see which is the
better way, the ordinary solid bed or
the sub- watered btd.
In our old place we haveone section 20
feet long In the center of one of our solid
beds, and the difference between that and
the other, where the carnations were
planted in both ends at the same time, is
very apparent and has been since No-
vember 1. We think we have had 25 per
cent, more flowers, and they are much
better. I might say here that instead of
the brick, as was advised at this conven-
tion two years ago, we used the anthra-
cite coal ashes. They cheapened the cost
very much, and they are quicker put in
and allow a better circulation of air and
a better drainage.
Mr. Pierce: Have you never used brick?
Mr. Dillon: I bought the brick for the
beds and let them lay. 1 am satisfied
that the ashes are the best.
Mr. Ward (being called upon said):
I do not think 1 have practiced sub-wa-
tering long enough to give a decided
opinion about it. I have done a little of
Webep & Son's New Carnation Egypt.
Weber & Son's New Carnation Norway,
it, and differ from Mr. Dillon radically in
some points. I consider brick quite valu-
able so far as we have used them. We
built sub-irrigation benches, but upon
quite a different principle from Mr. Dil-
lon's benches. All the Bowers we have
exhibited here have been grown on sub-
irrigated benches, with the exception of
O. H. Crane and Morning Glory. I am
not yet prepared to say that sub-irriga-
tion is better than the old-style bench.
The fiowers of Crane that we exhibit are
very much better on surface benches than
are those on sub-irrigation ones. I think
you can grow just as good carnations on
either bench; justas good flowers on the
surface-watered as on the sub-watered
benches. One point is tliat less labor is
required in connection with sub-watered
benches, but a much higher degree of skill
is necessary and much closer watching
of the plants than on thesurface-walered.
Where our benches are constructed for
sub-irrigation and the watering is prop-
erly done, it does not last doulile the
time of surface watering, and it is just
as deleterious to the soil, when too much
water is put in the bench, as is the case
under similar conditions with surface
watering. Another point we have been
careful to observe is ventilation. We
use brick and tile, and thus provide for
air by means of little canals under the
plants. We consider that this is quite a
feature. Another thing in using brick.it
is necessary to take them out and clean
the bench every Spring. If It were possi-
ble to use coal ashes and they should
prove as serviceable, you could throw
away the ashes, which would be an ad-
vantage.
Perhaps the greatest objection to the
sub-irrigation bench is the amount of
capital required to install It. Sub-irriga-
tion benches properly built cost three
times what the surface-watering bench
does. The surface-watering bench would
cost from 3.5 to40 cents per running foot,
whereas the sub-irrigation bench costs
formf 1 to $1..')0 and$1.7.T and up to $2
per running foot in some localities, de-
pending upon thecostof material, labor,
etc. I am not prepared to recommend
florists In general to adopt sub-Irriga-
tion. I may later on. Weare not disap-
pointed with it. I have produced finer
flowers of some varieties with Bull-irriga-
tion than on the old-style benches, but
there are other varieties which n e can-
not grow to advantage by that sj stem.
We cannot grow White Cloud, and 1 do
not think that Daybreak would do as
well with sub-watering. We tried White
Cloud three times under sub-lrrlgatlon,
and it was a failure every time. On the
other band, we can grow Bradt very
much better with sub-irrigation than
with surface watering. Sul)-irrigation is
something that will require considerable
study and experience — more than we have
yet been able to give it— and perhaps it
will take some little time yet before we
can determine which is the better plan.
Ou general principles, so far as natural
sub-irrigation hasbeen practiced (and it
has been practiced for many years, per-
haps tor several centuries in other parts
of the world in outdoor culture), it has
been a success. You may have remarked
that on river bottoms, on the banks
of streams and creeks in mountainous
districts, the timber is much finer and
larger than in ordinary localities. This
is due to sub-irrigation. In Kalamazoo
they grow celery by sub-irrigation. In
Saginaw, Mich., on large tracts of land
that were supposed to be valueless at
one time, all vegetables and particularly
sugar beets are grown with great profit
on sub-irrigated soil. The same is true
in European countries. In Holland per-
colation of the water through the soil by
capillary attraction takes placelua great
many localities, and this is natural sub-
irrigation. I am satisfied that in some
localities water rises from 25 to 30 feet
through porous soils, and in porous
sandy sub-soils the moisture may be
raised 60 feet by capillary attraction, and
thus nature practices sub-irrigation to a
large extent in many localities. When it
comes torecommendingflorists generally
to adopt sub-Irrigation, considering the
expense and skill and care required to
practice it successfully, I am not as yet
prepared to Indorse it without reserva-
tion.
Mr. Dillon: Our beds cost us 30 cents
a foot. The difference between the ordi-
nary solid bed which has a brick wall on
eacli side is simply thecement on the bot-
tom: that was all thecxtra expense. The
ashes cost nothing except the labor of
putting them In. We think that these
ashes are of great beneflt to the plants,
keeping the soil perfectly drained, so tlint
it cannot be over-watered unless too
much is put in. We give our men instruc-
tions while watering to allow the hot-e
to run a certain length of time, according
to the width of the bed. For instance,
we have one bed 3'/^ feet wide: we allow
thcin to waterit one minute; a four-foot
tied, one and a half minutes; anil for a
Hve-foot beii, two minutes. The beds
will require no attention afterward,
.lust before watering we look ovcrtiie
beds and find out their condlti(Ut, and
should any parts be drier than others,
we give these a watering half a minute

longer. We allow half an Inch of water,
and in live or six hours all will be Boaked
up and gone into the soil.
Mr. Ward: In reply to Mr. Dillon I
might state that we have never been
able to lay down any hard-and-fast rules
for watering, such as allowing the hose
to run one to one and a halt minutes tor
a certain width of bench. We have al-
ways done our watering according to
the condition of the soil and the proba-
ble need of the plant. We find that cer-
tain plants require very much more
water than others. Sometimes in our
benches they do not get more than an
eighth of an inch of water, in others not
more than a quarter of an inch. We also
find that when we put the water in
through our bricks it does not take over
10 to 30 minutes before the water is all
taken up by the soil. We find also that
when a surplus of water is put in the
benches (we have tested this several
times) the surplus water does not remain
on the bottom of the bench, but perco-
lates up into the soil. In other words,
it makes an effort to pass out through
the soil, which soon becomes much like
mud or perfectly saturated.
Mr. Dillon remarked that his beds
measured from SVn to 5 feet wide. The
cost was no more than 30 cents a run-
ning foot.
Mr. Ward: If you are making your
cement benches 4 feet wide at 30 cents
per running foot, you are accomplishing
considerably more than most of us have
been able to do. Our benches run from
4 feet 4 inches wide to 4 feet 8 inches
wide, and cost from f 1.25 to $1.50 per
running foot.
Mr. Dillon: The cement in the bed out-
side the labor is the greatest expense we
have.
Mr. Ward: When you come to a per-
fectly level bottom you cannot have any
unevenness such as little hiUs or valleys.
To make a perfectly level bottom the
labor cost is large. We have built our
benches very nicely. The bottoms are of
tile, and our chief cost has been rather in
the labor than in the material. The ce-
ment will cost us about ?3 a barrel— that
8, tor Portland cement. We built
benches, not solid beds, so that we might
get the air all round our plants. We have
not tried sub-irrigation with the use of
the solid beds in our section; we would
not undertake to grow carnations by
tbat method. We have heating pipes
under the benches, so that when the bot-
tom of the bench becomes warmed it re-
mains so throughout the season, and we
get a more even average bottom heat
than in the old wooden bench. I would
not be surprised if that were the chief ad-
vantage we get from the sub-irrigation
plan. Wehave tested thegrowing of car-
nations in both ways, side by side; one
by surface and the other b.v sub-water-
ing. It costs us less in labor to grow by
the sub-irrigation system, but as far as I
can judge yet, I will not now say that I
am perfectly correct in thisstatement; it
may be that this will be the chief advan-
tage gained. Possibly in the Summer
time, if the plants are grown inside dur-
ing the entire season, there may bean
advantage with sub-irrigation over sur-
face watering, but I am not as yet pre-
pared to absolutely concede that.
Professor Townsend, of the Maryland
Experiment Station, being called upon
by the president, stated that sub-irriga-
tion had been carried on at that station,
but the experiments had not gone far
enough to enable any couclusions to be
drawn from them.
Carnations at Oakland, Md.
Saturday mornmg, February 23, in
company with Wm. Weber, the Cincin-
nati delegation started for Oakland,
Md., which was reached after about eight
hours' ride from Baltimore. Oakland is
situated on the top of the Alleghanies,
2,800 feet above the sea level, and is in a
sort of a basin, which has an area of
about 25 square miles.
On arrival we were driven in a sleigh
to the Weber establishment, which eon-
tains 65,000 square feet of glass. Mr.
Weber tells me they will add 10.000 feet
more the coming Summer. The first
house we entered was 240 feet long by 28
wide. Half of this house is planted to
Norway, which is a fine grower and a
fine producer, free from disease, the
flower having a long, stiff stem, and a
perfect calyx. The balance of the house
is planted with roses, prlucipall.v Kaiserin
Augusta Victoria, which Mr. Weber tells
me does better with him than Bride or
Bridesmaid. I noticed that the firm uses
the model carnation support principally,
although the Dorner method was also
seen. Hector is the scarlet carnation
here; it seems to be a good producer.
Egypt is their new crimson; it appears
to be prolific, has a good strong stem, a
fine calyx, and is a strong grower, like
Norway. As a crimson it is a beauty.
We now come to Genevieve Lord. This
variety needs no introduction. I can only
add, as I have always said, it is a grand
carnation. But the house that makes the
greatest show is the one devoted to Mrs.
Thomas W. Lawson. Just now the
plants are coming into full crop, and pre-
sent a beautiful sight.
The propagating house, where all these
prize winners are produced, is 240 feet in
length, and at present is a very interest-
ing spot. The material used to root the
cuttings is a sandy loam of a very fine,
soft texture, and the roots seem to revel
in it. All through you can see the little
feeders reaching out for their food, and
Mr. Weber tells me not 1 percent, of
the cuttings is lost. Certainly such cut-
tings as are here seen cannot but give
satisfaction.

(80) Violets in Lean-to House. —
Can violets be grown successfully in a
lean-to house, with exposure to the
north ?— B.
— Violets will not be profitably grown
in a lean-to facing the north. The best
house for them is an even-span one, run-
ning north and south.
(81) Gladiolus.— When should gladi-
olus bloom, if planted now in a house,
with a temperature of about 55 to 60
degrees nights?— H.
—The gladiolus will flower in from 10
to 12 weeks after planting.

cannas, coleus, geraniums and begonias,
is grown, also callas and smilax.
The seedling house was well stripped
of flowers, so we did not see any of the
really new things with which the firm
will surprise us later. Three boilers for
heating this establishment are used, of
100, 125 and 20 horse power respectively.
They are all tubular. At the time of our
visit the thermometer stood at 12 de-
grees above zero. As we did not arrive
at Oakland until after four in the after-
noon, it was dark by the time we had
finished our tour of Inspection, but a
much pleasanter surprise was in store for
us, that of meeting Mr. Weber's family.
They have recently moved into their
handsome new residence, which by the
way was planned by Mr. Weber's daugh-
ters, and is surely a work of art. We
were entertained at dinner, after which
the balance of the evening was spent in
listening to instrumental and vocal music
rendered by the .Misses Weber and Miss
Agues Bullard.
Our party consisted of George Bayer,
of Toledo, O.; E. A. Nelson, of Indian-
apolis, Ind.; R. WltterstaJtter, W. K.
Partridge, Wm. Jackson and E. G. Gil-
lett. Upon arriving home we found that
they had been having quite a spell of
Winter that had diminished the coal pile
considerably. E. G. G.

of chrysanthemums, especially new va-

— Our choice of chrysanthemums for

St, Louis.
Tbb Market.
Business since last report has re-
mained quiet. There is an ample supply
of stock and a great over-production of
bulbous flowers, especially tulips, nar-
cissus and Roman hyacinths. Violets are
also a glut, selling at $1.50 per 1,000.
Six cents is the top price for roses, and
the flowers must be good to bring that
Hgure. Choice carnations bring 3c. Mini-
ature Dutch hyacinths sell for 3c. There
is no money in them at that price tor
the grower. Harrisii lilies and callas
realize 10c. to 15c.
It is rather too early to say much
about Easter stock. Lilies are in a very
tangled shape; some are too early, while
with several growers L. longiflorum will
not be in on time. C. C: S.

Harvard Carnation.
Editor Florists^ Exchange:
In reply to the Inquiry of Ess, in your
issue of February 23, I would say that
the carnation Harvard, of which I wrote
in my notes of the previous week, as
grown by Wm. Nicholson, is not the one
originated by the late N. Singler, of Chi-
cago. It is a seedling which has been
under number and has not had general
distribution; nor is it proposed to put
it on the market. Though of a very
pretty color, the flower is not large
enough to make it popular as a novelty,
and Mr. Nicholson is strongly opposed to
disseminating a new carnation, unless it
is decidedly better than the best of its
type already known.
I believe that no carnation has yet been
registered with the Carnation Society
under the name of Harvard, so on ac-
count of its true crimson color the name
suggested itself to Mr. Nicholson.
Francis .1. Norton.
Tlie Marquis Carnation.
Editor Florists^ Exchange:
In justice to the originator of The Mar
quis carnation, kindly give the appended
space in your valuable colums. This car-
nationwith ushas proved to be one of our
best investments, commencing to bloom
as early as any. It Is not a cropper, but
a continuous bloomer of large, well-
formed flowers, strong stem, and very
fragrant, with a calyx that cerer bursts.
It is certainly the most prolflc of any
variety we have yet seen. The color is
all that could be asked and just what
the trade wants. We shall devote most
of our carnation space to The Marquis
another season, as we believe there is
more money in it to the square foot than
any other carnation in existence. We
only have 1,000 plants and we wish it
were 5,000. One of our lady customers
told us that she had kept some of the
flowers in the house ten days and that
they were still in very fair condition,
showing it to be a keeper of unusual
merit. Greene & Unuerhill.

by no means exhausted their resources
in the treatment of the immense court of
the Pension Building. The members of
the craft here are unanimous in their
praise of the work, which was designed
and carried out to the smallest detail by
J. H. Small, Jr., of Washington, and Al-
bert -Small, of New York.
The entire surface decorated, including
the dome, was covered with gold. colored
challis, and on this material as a back-
ground Southern smilax was used in va-
rious ways. Suspended over the tialco-
nies and above the pillars, several hun-
dred in number, supporting the galleries,
were crimson azaleas, arranged in
placques, the woodwork hidden by
greenery. The large music stand was
appropriately treated with wreaths and
floral pieces, representing various musi-
cal instruments.
The President's room used up a large
number of orchids and Adianfum Farley-
ense. On the walls, nestling among smi-
lax, were crossed Hawaiian palm leaf
baskets, holding large bunches of cattle-
yas. American Beauty roses were very
much in evidence in the room of the Vice-
President.
Several large extra rooms were used
this time, and in these most of the large
plants were placed. The fountain l)asin
on the central floor space was a remarka-
ble sight, owing to the many perfect
specimen plants of bougainvillea used
among the tall kentias. The electric
work was on a larger scale than usual.

The Market.
Biisiuess during the past week has
been very good. Roses are coming in
now of fine quality. Wm. Lawrence and
the North Toronto Floral Co. are both
sending in some very good stocli. Carna-
tions are plentiful. Miller & Sons, of
Bracondale, are sending in some very fine
Lady Van Home and others. Daffodils,
both single and double, are abundant,
and sell at wholesale at about $2 per
hundred. Tulips are not quite so plenti-
ful this week. Violets are to be had in
almost any (juantity and tor any price.
Orchids are in good demand, but scarce.
John U. Dunlop has returned from
Baltimore. He says the carnation show
was well worth the journey. We have
been having somecold weather, and most
of the coal piles are getting very small.
The Dutchmen are coming round on
their annual visits. They all have better
bulbs than ever before, of course, and
report trade for next year as being very
good. T. M.
Ottawa.
Zero nights, with plenty of sun in the
day time, are not bad for the flowers,
but, unfortunately, add to the coal bill.
Cut flowers are fairly plentiful, violets
being beyond the demand. Single violets
seem to be the favorites this Winter. Car-
nations are very good, but hardly in
sufBcient supply for the trade. The sup-
ply and demand for roses are about
equal. Bulbousstock is of good quality,
but finds no great call. Funeral business
has been brisk.
Owing to the quietness of the season,
there is a chance of a big trade in plants
at Easter, and all the florists are busy
preparing therefor. The stock is large
and looks well, with the exception of
lilies, which are very poor. Scrim, in his
batch of some 500 Harrisii, has not by
actual count 50 salable plants. Even
L. longiflorum is badly affected with
mongrel specimens and some disease.
We will have to discover a fresh variety
or go back to old L.candidum. Hardy
roses are also showing a big proportion
of blind ones. Other stock is flne, espe-
cially azaleas.
Now that the carnation shows are
over, or nearly so, what are we to buy '
There are so many whites spoken of and
none seems to carry a majority of follow-
ers behind it, that Is among the new ones.
Although White Cloud, Flora Hill, and
one or two others of the standard varie-
ties are Al, yet they all seem to have
their bad seasons or bad locations, and
to lack the reliable qualities all round of
William Scott. Perhaps the high culti-
vation necessary to procure the grand
flowers of the day has made this impossi-
ble. It is pleasant to feel with regard to
red carnations, that if you have G. H.
Crane, you are in with the crowd. In
pink there is a large field to choose from,
and it seems, for fancy, we will have to
go Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson, although
with us Ethel (^rocker is good. But
when you are looking for something for
ordinary trade, to take the place of Wil-
liam Scott and be profitable, it almost
seems to me to be safer to choose Scott
again. B.
Montreal.
Trade Notes.
The depression in the florists' busi-
ness in this city is assuming serious pro-
portions. There has not been a single
social affair worth meutioning since the
new year, and there is not a store in
the city that is making running expenses.
Growers, too, are having a hard time.
On two days only has the temperature
been above the freezing point in the
shade since the beginning of last Novem-
ber, and the cold still continues. The
price of coal is much higher this Winter;
inquiries elicit the fact that coal hills are
from 25 to 100 per cent, above the
average.
Flowers of all sorts are very abundant
and of a high quality. Inthecase of bulb-
ous stock the supply amounts almost
to a glut; this is especially noticeable in
Von Sion narcissus, which, owing to
the heavy demand the past two years,
are extensively grown.
The plant trade is in as bad a condi-
tion as that of cut flowers.
There is considerable speculation ou the
Easter trade. From present indications
there will be sufBcient material to meet
any demand. Anyway, the Easter trade
is not what it used to be. Society goes
from here to New York to spend Easter.
One of the leading local men, speaking on
the topic a few days ago, expressed the
opinion that the utter demoralization of
The f=L-ORisTS' Exchange.
the social season here would cause this
year's exodus to be more pronounced
than ever. He held no very roseate views
on the coming Easter trade.
As regards lilies, it is lucky that local
men did not rely solely ou Harrisii, for
this variet.v is still on the downward
course. A few good plants are seen, but
they are far more than counterbalanced
by the bad ones. L. longiflorum, as far
as I have seen, is keeping free from dis-
ease, but the bulbs are badly mixed.
Thus in one lot of 1,000 there were six
distinct types, one or two of them use-
less, the majority being of a type similar
to L. Harrisii, but healthy and earlier
than the true L. longiflorum type.
Consignments of spirsea on one vessel
were very dry and got badly frozen
while unloading; consequently they are
starting badly or not at all. Few novel-
ties are seen.
Carnation Show.
After spending a lot of money to
make the carnation show a success, only
three of the many promised exhibitors
from across thebordersenttheirexhibits.
Needless to say, the committee was con-
siderably annoyed. There was a splen-
did display of standard varieties, but
what tlie growers wanted to see were
the new varieties. Messrs. Ward, Dillon
and the Chicago Carnation Co. were the
growers to whom the club was indebted
for new varieties. Mr. Ward sent Gov-
ernor Roosevelt. This variety was
awarded a certificate. The Chicago Car-
nation Co. sent several fine new sorts,
among them a vase of reds (neither
named nor numbered), the best ever seen
here. This variety was awarded a cer-
tificate consequent on its identity being
disclosed. J.L. Dillon sent Queen Louise,
awarded certificate. This variet.v has
proved a magnificent keeper, and is to-
day, March (i, 10 days after receipt, in
good condition. The keeping qualities
of all the new varieties were tested.
Messrs. Ciammage, Dunlop (awarded
certificate for general excellence of ex-
hibit), J. McKenna, BertieGraves, Joseph
Bennett, all made extensive exhibits of
standard varieties, among which Lady
Van Home, deep pink; Melba, Jubilee,
and Glacier were the favorites. The
judges were Messrs. A. C. Wilshire, Mc-
Kenna and J. ISennett. B.
New Orleans, La.
Mardi Gras kept most of our florists
very busy for one week, large balls, din-
ners, etc., ueing up quantities of stock.
Roses and carnations were shipped here
from the West; home-grown bulbous
stock supplied the demand. Never before
did we have so many visitors, many of
the Four Hundred coming from New
York; these visitors were all right, be-
cause tlie.v are used to Broadway prices.
U. J. Virgin came in for the lion's share
of the bouquets. C. Eble was kept busy
at the St. Charles Hotel, where he has a
stand.

state of Tr»de-Cold Spell.
March came in pleasant and Spring-
like, but another zero spell is now on us;
this will hardly help business. Stock of
all kinds last week was very plenty, so
much so that many o( the commission
houses failed to clear out at the morning
sales, which always means sacrifice sales.
The fakir, who had begun to hustle, will
be checked again, so that there is a pos-
sibility of lower prices this week. Ameri-
can Beauties hold their own fairly well,
except shorts; Meteors also. Brides and
Bridesmaids, good stuck now in; very
prime, may go at $7, but excellent
stock can be had at $5 to $G. Golden
Gate in good shape. Carnations abun-
dant, hard to clear, although quality
fine; not many strictly fancy seen in the
market; $2 and f3 is the ruling price;
good common. $1. Violets, 50c. to 75c.
for fancy; single and common, 40c. to
50c. Oaiias seem to be in full crop and
accumulating. Lilies in moderate supply,
f 1.50 to $2, for best quality. Bulbous
stock of all kinds over abundant, prices
lower, cut Dutch hyacinths included,
which sell at 75c. a dozen; valley
fetching only $2 to $3. Returns to bulb
growers hardly likely to be very satisfac-
tory unless there is a change for the bet-
ter soon. Single Poeticus Is in, also nas-
turtiums; sweet peas a trifle more plenti-
ful, quality not good.
Club Doings.
At the last meeting in February,
the subjects under discussion proved
drawing cards, some forty members being
present, and a lively meeting was the re-
sult. Financial Secretary ffinterson is
doing good work in his line, an import-
ant aid to the well-being of any society.
G. E. Anderson, one of Weitor Bros.'
young men, was elected a new member.
A communication from the American
Rose Co., Washington, D. C, was read,
promising an exhibit of Ivory, or White
Golden Gate rose, for next meeting,
March 7. James Hartshorne showed
some splendid flowers of their red J. J.
Mitchell carnation. Fifty Governor
Roosevelt, from Cottage Gardens, arrived
too late, and from J. L. Dillon, Queen
Louise came in bad order, hence was not
staged.
Tile first subject of the evening, "The
Florists' Business of Chicago Twenty
Years Ago and Now," was a topic easily
handled by your scribe, who gave many
points showing the wonderful strides
made in so short a time. Not one pres-
ent but himself being then ( 1 880 ) in busi-
ness in this city. August Dressel, who
was expected,did not show up. Emil
Buettner, of Park Ridge, a grower, ac-
cording to promise more fully elucidated
the point he made at the last meeting,
viz., that retail florists, as a rule, were
behind the times in this city, not display-
ing their goods in an attractive manner.
His idea was that much better results
could beexpectedif buyers were educated
through the medium of more tempting
displays of both Sowers and plants than
is generally to be seen. He admitted
there were those who made some efforts
iu this line, but the exceptions proved
the rule. He contended that, save on
occasions like Christmas and Easter, but
little was done in fixing up attractive
objects; a mass of carnations, roses and
what not was stuck before the buyer,
who was told they were so much a dozen,
while if neat bunches were arranged, with
effect, enlivened by foliage, the buyer could
see for herself how they would look and
be much oftener tempted to buy. A good
window display was a bigfeature; nicely
arranged pots and pans of plants in their
season he insisted upon.
Quitea discussion followed, entered into
by Messrs, Weinhoeber, Smith, lenders and
Robertson, of C. A. .Samuelson, Kreitling,
and others, all admitting there was
truth in .Mr. Buettner's charges, but with
a tendency to charge the trouble unto
the growers, which they, in turn, would
not stand, their place, they contended,
being to grow, the retailers to assort
and display.
H. E. Philpat, of Manitoba, Canada,
being present, was called upon by the
president. He gave a lively account of
how they do things 'way up north, the
temperature they had to contend with,
zero and ten below being called mild;
tbiu sent the sjiiverg through those prea-
eat. He also stated that In Winter, ow-
ing to the icy covering ol the glass (or

Among Growers.
A visit to J. A. Budlong's rose
houses at Bowmansviiie is a treat — the
Beauties. Bridesmaids and Brides are in
fiiie condition, and promise a grand cut
for Easter. Everything about the houses
is cleanly, with up-to-date culture. Has
a splendid lot of roses struck and now in
2-inch, to be hereafter shifted into 3-inch
pots for his own planting next year.
Mr. Budlong gives up growing Brides
and Bridesmaids to his consignors after
tliis year, devoting hie own place to
American Beauties and Meteors. He will
rebuild his 10-year-oId house to.SOx,SOO,
in order to huve it uniform with the bal-
ance of his .300 feet range, will also build
one new house, 25 x 300; these will then
all be planted (eight houses, 300 feet each)
to American Beauties, requiring about
35,000 plants. His other range will ac-
commodate some 15,000 Meteors. Alto-
gether, his own plant will then contain
some 150,000 feet. Other growers who
raise roses, carnations and other plants
for him, have as much more glass, all the
stock raised in which will be sold at his
wholesale store.
TheWeberBro8.,at Bowmanville, grow
SjOOO each of Brides and Bridesmaids,
and consign to Mr. Budlong. Their
houses are all new, and the stock just
now cannot be beaten in this city. They
also have one house of longiflorum In 5-
ncb pots, the best wehave met with yet
Just showing buds; will require some
pushing to be In time for Easter. No loai
in bulbs of any moment reported by
them. One striking feature in the growth
of the roses, was that the vigor of the
plants was shown in grand growths
from the bottom; If extra strong leads,
these were not permitted to perfect their
6r8tbud, but when the same was well
formed, the shoot was shortened back
three or four joints; this caused from
three to five vigorous branches to push
up with strength enough in the stem to
perfect as many blooms, on stems 24 to
30 inches long.

Edgar Sanders. E. C. Amiing. and

)EEDliSE Report]
Free Seed Distpibution. — Another cir-
cular has recently been issued by Secre-
tary Burnet Lan(]reth,of the Wholesale
Seedsmen's League, showing the gradual
annual increase in the appopriattion for
free seed distribution purposes from
101,000 in 1865 to $270, 000 for 1902.
The circular points out that the " Gov-
ernment has virtually gone into the seed
business in all its parts. This is a very
alarming course, as the regular seed
trade will neverknow the moment when
the Government or the contractor might
dump upon the seed market immense
blocks of seed which the Government
might decide it did not want, all being an
addition to the normal supplies already
provided for by seedsmen, and such an
addition most ruinously breaking down
values." The league asks the unquali-
fled support of every seedsman who de-
sires to see a gross wrong righted, to the
advantage of the seed trade of the United
States.
The Wholesale Seedsmen's League was
organized August 1, 1899, and incorpo-
rated August 24, 1900. Its officers are:
President, F. W. Bruggerhof; vice-presi-
dent, S. F. Leonard; secretary and treas-
urer, Burnet Landreth, Philadelphia.
Directors for the year 1900-01: F. W.
Bruggerhof,Charles H. Breck,S. M. Pease,
H. W, Wood, S. T. Leonard, Burnet Lan-
dreth, Jerome B. Rice, W. Atlee Burpee,
and Carl C. Cropp. The list of stockhold-
ers embraces the names of the leading
seed merchants of the country.
Roman Hyacinths.— Our southern
correspondent informs us of a great ex.
citement among the producers of Roman
hyacinths in the region of Toulon, Olll-
oules, Hyerfis and surroundings. Last
year we announced the formation at
Toulon of a protective syndicate of
growers. That syndicate has manipu-
lated matters so well that at the present
time there is a rise in price of 10 and even
15 francs per 1,000. The success of the
venture has added new members to the
syndicate, which this year represents
the greater part of the growers; but
there does not seem to be a perfect under-
standing among them, forln spite of fre-
quent meetings, they have arrived at
nothing deflnite. All that has transpired
from the interminable discussions has
been the maintaining of over excitement
among the cultivators, and also a deep
perturbation among buyers to such a
point that foreign purchasers, who In
former years were given Hxed quotations
by the end of January, have not secured
any indication at this date of the prices
on which to base their catalogue offer-
ings. From our private information this
state of things is due to a large number
of private Interests dominating the gen-
eral Interest in a most provoking
fashion. A minimum fixed price has been
arrived at of 60 francs per 1,000 for Ro-
man hyacinths of 12-15 cm. circumfer-
ence and 15 francs for Narcissus totus
albusgrandiflora; but there Is no guar-
antee of neither a rise nor a lowering in
price.and especially of the delivery. Our
readers will understand that In such a
contused situation It is Impossible lor
buyers to take a definite position.— Bul-
letin del'Agence des Cultlvateurset Hor-
ticulteurs, Paris, of March 1.
European Notes.
" We havemadeasudden jump from mid-
winter into the arms of Spring, and
neither plants nor growers appear to
appreciate the change. It may, how-
ever, give a much-needed stimulus to the
trade in peas and beans, for this has been
very slow of late.
Market seeds, particularly clover,
should also benefit b.v the change. So in-
active has the market been up to the
present time that some of the large hold-
ers have become very anxious about their
high-priced stocks, and a great fall in the
values of these may take place at any
moment. Samples of medium and infe-
rior qualities have been inquired for, but
mainly for export trade to your side.

of hardy herbaceous stock of roses, can-
nas, chrysanthemums aud carnations
being especially complete.
St. Albans, Vt.— George Cook is well
pleased with his investment In the Mrs.
Thomas W. Lawson carnation, which
sells at the highest figure ever yet asked
for the divine fiower. Such stock pays
better than roses, and he intends increas-
ing the area with such money-makers as
The Marquis, G. H. Crane and White
Cloud. His son Charles, who served
some time under Superintendent Doogue,
of the Boston Public Garden, Is now
associated wlh Mr. Cook In business here
Haverhill, Mass.— C, H. Kaulbach,
had a narrow escape recently by the
cracking of a boiler — of course when it
was needed most. By hustling around
he managed to keep up the temperature
and save his stock.
Peabody, Mass.— J. M. Ward & Co. say
The Marquis carnation Is very satisfac-
tory, also Argyle. Olympla Is not the
equal to Mrs. George M. Bradt. Grafted
roses are run second year and are fine,
particularly Bride and Bridesmaid. A
house of Japan lilies is in excellent show-
ing for Easter.
Salem, Mass.— McGee, Geary & Co. can-
not begin to grow a part of the flowers
required for their trade, and the early
morning fjnds their store a Mecca for
several growers in the neighborhood.
Mr. McGee handles the flowers with the
critical eye of the commleslon man^ while
Mr. Geary (who, I am sorry to note, is
sick just now) handles the plant depart-
ment. Mr. Hallahan, who Is the "Co.," Is
the designer. These gentlemen make a
great trio; nothing is too big for them to
handle.
Waverley, Mass.— W. W. Edgar has a
grand lot of flowering plants tor Easter,
including some of the flnest rhododen-
drons ever seen In Boston. Lilies are
very fine,
Ca.mbridge, Mass. — Fred Becker has
some space devoted to Kaster stock, but
says the demand for the Boston fern in-
duces him to give ail the space he can to
its cultivation. W. B. Doyle has his
houses well filled with Easter stock.
DanMurphy watches thecalendar closely,
and never fails to bring in his lilies on
time. Crimson Rambler roses are also
very promising.
Fall River, Mass.— Chatterton War-
burton was pleased with the honors his
pink carnation Cressbrook received at
Baltimore. George Smith accompanied
him to the convention.
Geneva, N. Y.— W. & T. Cass report a
full order file for Spring deliveries just so
soon as the ground opens.
Auburn, N. Y. — Alfred Patrick has
kept tab upon The Marquis, and finds
that his 250 plants have thus far aver-
aged 22 blooms to the plant and sold
tor 50c. per dozen — the best Investment
he ever made in a carnation. Estelle is
fine; General Maceo Is his best crimson.
A recent decoration composed of this
variety, with Meteor roses and lily of the
valley, in honor ol a debutante, was
much admired tor its richness. Golden
Gate Is a popular roee; it does well here.
Mr. Patrick considers Liberty has too
much h. p. blood In It to ever allow of
Its being a profitable Winter rose, and
intends resting it and trying It as a
Summer bloomer. W. M.

Visiting Nurserymen. — Nurserymen
find but little time to visit now, as at
furthest it can be but a week or two be-
fore many of them will be busy shipping.
The ground is frozen up so tight at Pitts-
burg, Pa., that E. H. Bochman took a
few days off the past week to run down
to Philadelphia. Mr. Bochman carries
on landscape gardening as well as the
handling of trees. He sees good pros-
pects ahead for the coming season's
work, the demand for his services being
quite brisk.
In all quarters appearances indicate a
continued activity in the nursery line.
Even from the South, so long without
much to do, come theencouraging words,
in letters from brother nurserymen,
" trade brisk."
Frank Bartram,one ot the Pennsylvania
"bug inspectors," has been visiting some
of the Philadelphia nurseries, by invita-
tion ot the proprietors, to inspect stock
while in its dormant state. The usual
time is September, previous to shipping;
but at this season ot the year an inspec-
tion is tar more satisfactory, as there is
no foliage to hide "San Jos6 scale or
other injurious insects." A twice a year
inspection of this kind makes a customer
have faith in a certificate, bi sides afford-
ing peace ot mind to the proprietors of
the inspected nurseries.
Daphne cneoruni. — Though the In-
teresting and beautiful Daphne eneorum
is not difficult to propagate, it is not a
common plant in collections. This is ac-
counted tor by stating that many do not
understand its requirements, and so fail
to get it to do well. This lovely little
evergreen is of a trailing nature; and
when suited in soil and location, soon
forms a mat of green, which in Spring is
overspread with a sheet ot bright pink,
deliciously sweet-scented flowers, which
are produced on the end of each shoot,
in fair sized clusters.
All daphnes that I know, save one, the
Genkwa,have sweet-scented flowers. D.
eneorum is particularly fragrant.
I haveiumind a place where I saw this
plant grown to perfection. It was near
some large trees, which gave the plants
shade the greater part of the afternoon,
yet not so close that the branches over-
spread them, nor that the roots robbed
them of much moisture. Then, as these
plants have small, iiue roots, they were
being grown in what seemed almost en-
tirely sand. But I found a good mixture
of manure and tine leaf mold and loam
with the sand, makiug a composition
which suited the plants, withoutadoubt.
There had been a dozen plants set in this
sand in the first place, at some distance

apart. These hart grown 80 well that
the whole appeared as one mass. It
llowei'S ill Spring, very soon aftergrowth
starts; and when suited, as thelot spoken
of was, some flowers are produced nearly
all .Summer, and often in Autumn there
is a display almost equaling; that of
Spring. Any one having a situation free
from the glare of all day sun and one
that Is fairly moi8t,could grow this plant.
It Is a native of Western Europe, and is
quite hardy in all places in the Middle
States. I have never heard of its being
Winter killed anywhere. No doubt its
trailing habit is a great help to It in this
respect.
It is often seen grown in pots, because
it is chiefly propagated indoors, from
cuttings or by grafting; and at other
times because its beauty when in bloom
makes it salable in this form, and sure
to live when planted. It is a plant which,
when dug up from the open ground, dis-
plays more top than root, usually —
anotnerreueon why pot plants are better.
Hardiness of Some Broad-LeaTed Ev-
ergreens.— Looking over the catalogue
of the Biltmore Nursery, North Carolina,
recently, and noticing a great many
broad-leaved evergreens listed that are
not considered hardy here, and observ-
ing, further, that in the preface to the list
it was stated that the mercury some-
times fell to 10 degrees below zero, I was
led to make inquiries in regard to these
evergreens, and am pleased to give the
reply so courteously made me. I will
state, that the reply may be more clear,
that the plants of which inquiry was
made are the following: Gardenia flor-
Ida, Photinia serrulata, Prunus lauro-
cerasus ( English laurel), I.aurus nobilis
(sweet bay), Oerasus lusitanieus (Por-
tugal laurel) and Olea fragrans. It
seemed to me that if these would stand
an occasional drop of the mercury to 10
degrees below zero at Biltmore they
might be tried here, as it is no colder than
that with us. This is the reply referred
to:
In reply to your favor of February 21 I
beg to s.ay that we have had all of the plants
•about which you inquire on the Biltmore
Nursery. Ganlenla Florida will pass through
gome winters here, but sooner or later suffi-
cient cold will come to kill them. Photinia
serrulata stands here, i)ut not well. Prunus
lauro-cerasus is pretty hardy. It has been
with us for ten years or more and preserved
agood appearance dnrin;^ our winters. Lau-
ras nobilis is badly killed b.ick every winter.
Cerasus lusitanieus is hardier tlian Prunus
lauro-cerasus and sl.andR admirably. Olea
fragrnns stands some winters — indeed has
never been killed outright. Of all of the
plants you mention I would not expect any
of tliem to thrive as far north as Boston, but
I believe you could grow in sheltered situa-
tions at 'Philadelphia Prunus lauro-cerasua
and Cerasus lusitanieus. and especially the
latter. The other forms I do not think
worthy of experiment even at Philadelphia.
C. D. Beadle.
viy own experiments lead me to say
that three of these plants have got
through Winters here fairly well. Eng-
lish laurel passed through two Winters
uuhurt, the sweet bay was frozen down
both Winters, but came up strongly from
the root in Spring. The Portugal laurel
stood a very cold Winter admirably, but
succumbed later to the combined attacks
of some vagrant dogs. Plants were in
sheltered positions and had a slanting
board placed on their southern side to
keep off the sun's rays. The reference to
Boston is caused by my stating when
writing the Biltmore folks that some
time ago I read, in The Florists' Ex-
change; I think, in a Washington corre-
spondent's letter, that Photinia serru-
lata was hardy as far north as Boston.
At any rate, as I have a plant of It, as
well as of P. glabra, both shall have a
trial next Winter.
I am firmly of opinion that many of
such nice things as named will succeed if
placed in favorable situations, and there
is hardly ajplacelargeenough lor a dozen
or two trees that has not a sheltered
nook or two— just the place for these
nice things. Joseph Meehan.

OUR SUPPLEMENT.
Cedrela Sinensis.
Itis with particular pleasure the atten-
tion of our readers is called to the illus-
tration of the Cedrela sinensis. Not only
Is the tree a beautiful one, as is the illue-
tration Itself, but it is also a rare tree tor
size and beauty. We know of a larger
tree, but It is not as nicely proportioned
as this one. Mr. Miller, thelandscapegar-
dener at Falrmount Park, Philadelphia,
knows what trees require, and the many
lovely specimens to be met with among
those under his charge fully attest his
skill in their management. This Cedrela
is a native of China, and although intro-
duced from there some 25 years ago. Is
not yetwell distributed. Excepting that
the ailantus Is never seen of such beauti-
ful proportions as this tree shows, it is
not unlike it in many respects. There
is the same look about the foliage, and
it has the clean, smooth wood of that
tree, and even the leaves, when bruised,
indicate some relationship to It. Older
botanists. In fact, did make a species of
ailantus of It, calling It Ailantus flave-
scens, but later authorities place it where
it evidently belongs, among the cedrelas.
Its Inflorescence Indicates It has not the
ailantus character. Most every one Is
acquainted with the large heads of ailan-
tus flowers, followed by even larger
heads of seeds. The cedrela flowers are
in a long, string-like pendulous raceme,
sometimes as long as two feet. Small
greenish flowers are to be seen If looked
for, followed by pods of seeds, which are
not unlike In appearance those seen on
forsythia bushes. These matters are
mentioned particularly to show how
greatly it differs from ailantus. And we
are particular to mention these things
for another reason, which Is, that many
believe this to be a coming street tree
for cities. As Is well known, large centers
of population are becoming more unfitted
every year tor trees: cement pavements
and aspha ited streets are barriers to their
well-doing. The ailantus Is well known
to thrive almost anywhere, but planters
are loath to use it in cities or near dwell-
ings, because of the vile odor of its
flowers. Now the cedrela appears to
possess all the good qualities of the
ailantus with none of its bad ones; there
Is certainly no odor to its flowers. Mr.
Wm. B. Smith, of the United States Bo-
tanic Garden, Washington, D. C, advises
that nurserymen get up a stock of It as
quickly as possible. Mr. Smith Is a
member of the Parking Commission, and
knows what Is required of a tree, and his
commendation of the cedrela as an ex-
cellent tree for city streets, we heartily
endorse. The readers of The Florists'
Exchange will notice how flttlngly the
tree is placed, as the illustration shows.
Behind it is seen a portion of a large bed
of cannas, scarlet saire and mixed plants,
while in the distance are glimpses of
some of the rare evergreens and decidu-
ous trees tor which this portion of the
Park Is famous. The height of this tree
Is a little over 30 feet, and it has a spread
of the same dimensions.
Joseph Meeban.
Syractise, N. Y.— It reads like an old
story when I write that The Marquis
was in full glory when I saw It at the
originator's, L. E. Marqulsee, on March
1, but so it was, and I understand It has
been so all Winter. It may not come in
so early a"" Morning Glory, which Is
another flrst-class variety, but every
bloom is a bloom. There Is no doubt
that this variety and its peerless com-
panion, Mrs. T. W. Lawson. have ad-
vanced the value of the divine flower;
50c., 75c.. $1 and $1.50 per dozen have
been paid this season for these carna-
tions—no doubt fully as profltable as
William Scott ever was at 25c.

Easter Plants
BLOOMlWd EASTER WEEK.
Time is money !
Lose no time 1
Order your supply now I
I have an immense stock of the FINEST
and CHOICEST in the market, and in such
quantities that exceed anything that I ever
had and offered before. You would be aston-
ished if you could take a look in seven (7)
large greenhouses and an equal number of
hot beds which are filled to the fullest ex-
tent, and devoted to the entire cultivation
of Easter plants alone. Therefore I will be
prepared to fill all orders, if sent in time, as
far as the supply will reach.
AZALEA INDICA.
I am one of the largest importers of these choice Easter plants and have about a thou
sand more than last year. I raised these in large houses, 20x115 feet, erected for the cul-
tivation solely of these plants. These Azaleas were selected by myself last fall on my
second trip to Belgium, and as I am agent for a large concern there it gives you a chance
to purchase your goods at first hand and not through a middleman. I have only new ,
stock; none left over from a year ago. I can offer you plants in bloom, or buds, blooming
Easter week, 6-inch pots, 60c., 75c. and some for $1.00. Most of them Mme. Vander
Cruyssen, and some other of the best varieties which will be selected by myself. I have
some fine specimen plants, lo-ii-inch pots, 20-22 inches across, very large (Mme. Vander
Cruyssen), of good shape and full of buds, $300 each, easily worth ^5.00. Weight, with
pots, 37 lbs. ; weight, without pots, 17 lbs.
Araucarias excelsa and s:laitcay in excellent shape, 3 tiers, 5-inch pots,
60c., 75c. and $[.o3 each. Very fine specimens, $1.50 and $2.00 each, worth $3 00.

Philadelplila.
The Market.
This city is very quiet at present; the
stores have been practically deserted the
past week. All the best flower buyers
are away at seaside or Southern resorts.
Flowers are not arriving in large quan-
tities, so that there isnogreataccumula-
tion at the wholesale establishments.
Probably there would be a glut were
the street men notso numerous. One can
daily see four or five peddlers on one
block In the shopping districts, selling
violets, lily of the valley, carnations and
narcissus. Bulbous flowers are perhaps
the worst stock the wholesalers have to
handle just now.
Sam S. Pennock is rejoicing over the
arrival of a boy, who made bis appear-
ance .Sunda.v last.
A. B.Cartiedge and J. Liddon Pennock,
who comprise the firm of Pennock Bros,
after attending the Executive Committee
meeting in Buffalo, visited Detroit, Chi-
cago, Cleveland and Pittsburg, their ob-
ject being to look up the retail business
of these cities. They had a deightful trip
and arrived home on Wednesday.
H. G. FauBt is now In the South recu-
perating from a very severe attack of
pneumonia.
Ohas. Schmidt and John Turnbull, em-
ployes of S. S. Pennock, have obtained
permission of their employer to have an
opening at the wholesale establishment
on March 27, 28 and 20, to display sam-
ples of Bowers and plants, also novelties
in ribbons, etc., for the Easter trade.
The whole place will be appropriately
decorated and kept open evenings for the
convenience of the trade on the dates
named. David Rust.

Carnation Show at Boston.
The sixth annual exhibition ot carna-
tions and novelties given by the Boston
Co-operative Flower Growers' Associa-
tion was held Saturday at the flower
market, 1 Park Street, and was a great
success, tar exceeding those of previous
years. The exhibits were staged maiuly
by local growers, not so many as usual
from outside points sending their prod-
ucts.
The display of violets, which were first
on the schedule, was very fine. Lady
Hume Campbell were shown in good
form by N. F. Comley, J. Harrigan,
Chapin & Co., J. S. Smiley and L. E.
Small, but the prize for double violets
was awarded to Chapin & Co. for Far-
quhar. Princess of Wales of excellent
quality were staged by Wm. Sim, who
captured the prize, N. F. Comley, Wm.
Spillsbury, E. S. Knight, .1. H. Newman
and C. Cummings. J. S. Smiley also
showed a bunch ot single white violets.
No roses were exhibited tor the prizes
ottered. . ^.
The classes for named colored varieties
ot carnations brought out keen competi-
tion, and it took a very fine vase of
blooms to carry away the premium. In
the class tor light pink sorts, The Mar-
quis was the winner ot first and second
prizes, being shown by George .\yer and
M. A. Patten, respectively. For dark
pink, Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson from
Peter Fisher won first, and the same va-
riety from M. A. Patten, second, both ot
whom staged excellent blooms. For
scarlet there was only one entry, that ot
Ingraham & Lynes, who showed G. H.
Crane; they staged 51 blooms where
only 50 were called for.
In white varieties M. A. Patten cap-
tured first prize with White Cloud; Peter
Fisher, second, with Eastern Star.
Wm. Nicholson had the only exhibit in
vellow and received the first prize. In
the variegated class George D. Buxton,
of Nashua, N. H., won first with Mrs.
George M. Bradt, M. A. Patten, second,
with the same variety.
The following exhibits are also worthy
ot notice: Wm. Nicholson's collection of
Mrs. George M. Bradt, The Marquis and
Genevieve Lord; M. L. Tirrell's Liberty,
Emeline and Cardinalis; Paul Richma-
gon's The Marquis; J. D. Twombley's
The Marquis and White Cloud; Donald
Carmichael's May Whitney; George D.
Buxton's The Marquis and White Cloud;
S. J. Goddard's Saxon, and a white one
marked "What is It?" from Peter Fisher.
On the seedllug table were many excel-
lent displays. Quite a little ioterest was
centered In the vase of Cressbrook. staged
by C. Warburton, ot Fall River, which
variety got such a high rating at the
American Carnation Society's exhibition
in Baltimore. Here again it showed up
exeptionally well, and scored 94 points.
Other certificate winners were:
E. A. Nelson's (Indianapolis, Ind.)
dark pink Mrs. E. A. Nelson scored 94
points.
A. Roper's No. 35, light pink, 89.
S. Littlefleld's Goodenough, white, 89.
A. Roper's No. 1, white variegated, 87.
M. A. Patten's seedling X pink, 87.
N. D. Peirce's Beau Ideal, light pink,
86.
P. Fisher's Eastern Star, white, 86.
Among the otherseedlings staged were
noticed quite a few good ones.
A. Koper staged six, known by number
only, No. i!.3, red. No. 46, also red; Nos.
101 and 24, two good white ones, and
Nos. 9 and 99, variegated, all ot which
showed promise. Donald Carmichael
showed his Eleanor Ames, dark pink,
and May Whitney, white, both ot which
he has grown with greatsuccess for some
few years. Peter Fisher's white Gov-
ernor Wolcott showed up well, as did his
No. 170, a new one ot the Daybreak
shade; C. S. Cooper exhibited his Craw-
ford, a dark variegated variety, and Cop-
ley, a dark pink. J. Tailby & Son staged
two good crimson varieties, one named
Harvard, being ot excellent color; the
other,unnamed,is really too dark to take
well.
A box ot Queen Louise was received
from J. L. Dillon, ot Bloomsburg, Pa.,
but arrived in a condition too poor to
warrant staging them.
For the best novelty, outside of carna-
tions, a certificate was awarded to S. J.
Goddard for red antirrhinum.
E. N. Peirce & Sons exhibited some very
fine longiflorum lilies in pots; and very
good mignonette was shown by M. A.
Patten, and Chas. Evans, the former
staging Allen's Defiance and the latter
Boston Giant.
Antoine Leuthy made quite a display
of palms, ferns, etc.
The exhibition was largely attended
during the day. F. J. Norton.
Carnation Show at Toronto.
The third annual carnation meeting of
the Toronto Gardeners and Florists' As-
sociation and the Toronto Horticultural
Society was held In the Pavilion on
Thusday, March 7, and in spiteot tbefact
that many of the exhibits promised did
not arrive, the exhibition was a de-
cided success. The blooms were staged
on low tables in the center of the hall
and each variety was given plenty of
room to show to the best advantage.
Several local growers contributed nice
groups of cut flowers. J. H. Dunlop
staged a large number ot vases ot the
newer varieties of carnations. W. J.
Lawrence sent some roses, lilies, mignon-
ette and carnations; W. Muston (the
North Toronto Floral Co.), carnations
and roses; Gammage, ot London, a table
ot the newer varieties of carnations;
Fred Dicks, also of London, several vases
ot well-grown stock; Mr. Jennings, of
Brampton, carnations, roses and violets;
Wm. leudley, Brampton, an exhibit ot
violets and carnations; Messrs. Jay &
Son, the Horticultural Gardens and Man-
ton Bros., exhibits ot plants. The plants
displayed were used to help decorate the
hall. A vase ot white Golden Gate rose
from the American Rose Co., of Washing-
ton, D. C, was much admired. The
blooms carried well. The stems are
strong and straight, and the rose is de-
liciously scented. A vase ot Robert Scott
rose arrived late in the evening; it also
carried well and appeared to be a good
thing.
The varieties of carnations exhibited
from the States were Queen Louise, from
J. L. Dillon; Prosperity, from Daille-
douze Bros.; Governor Roosevelt,Golden
Beauty, and Novelty, from C.W.Ward;
Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson, from Peter
Fisher; Liberty and an unnamed seed-
ling.from M. L. Terrell; Admiral Cervera
and Goethe, from C. Resold; a seedling
red from H. Spavin; Irene, from Crabb
& Hunter; Elinora and Opal,trom R.Wit-
tersta-tter: Hoosier Maid, from A. Ras-
mussen; Mrs. M. Behn, from F. Specht;
Guardian Angel, from Guardian Angel
Asvlum, Chicago (these came badly
tro'zen); White Cloud, Mrs. George M.
Bradt, Mrs. T. W. Lawson and The Mar-
quis, from Palmer & Son, Buffalo.
The judges who were asked to report
on the new varieties exhibited were
Messrs. Walter Mott, ot Philadelphia,and
Barnard Meyers, of Buffalo. I hope to
send a tullco"py ot their report next week.
Miss Annie Hallam.daughterof the late
John Hallam, presented a handsome cup
to the association to be competed tor at
this show, and the Executive Committee
decided to give the cup to the vase ot the
best carnation in the hall. Walter Mott,
C.J. Tidy and the writer were appointed
judges todecide as to its disposal. Wehad
a very difficult task, so many were good
ones. After a very careful comparison,
the cup was finallyawarded to The Mar-
quis.shownby Messrs. Palmer & Son, and
they well deserved it. It is but fair to
the newer varieties to say that they
had all traveled further, and had hardly
so good a chance as their older com-
petitors.
After the show supper was provided in
a hall connected with the pavilion, W. J.
Lawrence presiding. His worship, Mayor
Howland, and others ot our city fathers
expressed themselves as much pleased
with the exhibition, and promised their
assistance on any future similar occasion.
We had some good speakers, very good
singing, and the affair broke up early in
the morning. T. Manton.

The Newer Roses.
Paper prepared by E, G. Hill. Richmond,
Ind., and read before the New York Vlorists'
Club, March 11, 1901.
Pursuant to your very kind invitation
to address you on the subject of new
roses, 1 may preface my remarks by stat-
ing that the paper will necessarily be
somewhat brief on account of the limi-
tations incident to a close adherence to
the subject assigned me. The keen inter-
est in new roses is sufficient excuse for
presenting any facta that may be known
bearing uu the subject, and if I shall be
able tu add only a small amount of new
information on this line, it will be my
excuse for trespassing on your time.
I presume that the membersof the club
are more interested in new varieties of
roses which have promise of proving
amenable to our indoor forcing methods
as practiced In the United States and
Canada, rather than In roses of recent
origin which show suitability for the
garden or other outdoor culture. How-
ever, we shall treat of both classes and
can do so without unduly taxing your
time.
Liberty ranks first in the thought and
minds of the rose growers of America,
not that it has yet been proved an
abounding SDceesB with the great num-
ber who bought and planted the rose,
but the (luestion with the majority of
our best growers is. How can I manage
this superb variety as your fellow mem-
ber, £rnst Asmus, and a few others have
done? That is a problem for solution
with a very large number of earnest,
skillful cultivators. Liberty, at its very
best, with its startling color, its fine
form in the bud state, its ample foliage
and straight stem when well grown,
and, withal, its fine odor, challenges our
admiration as very few roses have ever
dons. This rose sold in quantity and
was planted In every section of our coun-
try, but the qualified success attending
the growing of thevariety has been some-
what disappointing to a great number
of our best cultivators. If careful study
of Its character and needs shall enable the
growers to force this rose in a successful
manner, then It will prove to be one of
the greatest values among recent intro-
ductions for Winter bloom. The Interest
Id this rose is even greater than a year
ago, and many high resolves are made
that the variety shall have still further
trial under every promising condition
that can be arranged for it; In fact,
nearly all the large rose firms are deter-
mined to make a success of growing
Liberty if success be possible.
My own individual opinion is that
being a hybrid tea. It will require special
treatment and careful management, and
that It never can be grown as a Brides-
maid or a Bride. If Bridesmaid could be
made to produce buds and bloom the
color of Liberty, then indeed would we
have the ideal red forcing rose, and It is
not too great a stretch of the imagina-
tion to hope for such a variety. It will
surely come in time and I doubt not ere
very many years.
The haphazard grower and the care-
less cultivator will never succeed with
Liberty, as he has never yet succeeded
with American Beauty.
The fine variety Marquise de Litta is
another red rose of an entirely different
character from Liberty and one which
lias great possibilities tor florists' use.
The build and shape of this rose are ideal,
and it has a most delightful odor; in
fact, it has the old damask rose scent as
well as the color, in large degree. Two
of the leading growers who have tried
this variety are Inclined to the opinion
that it will not be free enough In mid-
season. With us it has shown an incli-
nation to bloom throughout the Winter,
but even if It did not produce a single
flower from November to March it would
prove Its value commercially the re-
mainder of the year. One strong point
in favor of Marquise de Litta Is that it
is tlie most valuable hot-weather rose
ever introduced. It will come in flne form
and In its usual size during the hottest
of our Summer months, and an extensive
trial last year attested Its great keeping
value when the thermometer was in the
nineties. Your essayist Is of the opinion
that it will prove a fairly good Winter-
forcing variety, judging by the experience
of the past two seasons, quite as much
so as any variety in the hybrid tea class.
We have never tried growing this sort on
its own roots, but grafted on Manettl it
produces freely and gives a fair propor-
tion of its buds on stems 12 to 15 inches
In length. I predict that this rose will
be extensively grown when all Its re-
quirements become better known.
Sunrise is either a seedling of Perle des
Jardlns or else a well-deflned and hlgh-
cdlored sport of this old and well-known
rose. It is, however, quite distinct from
either Sunset or Lady Dorothea, and un-
like those two sports from Perle, Sunrise
is constant and true to its color, never
varying in the least. It also has a much
deeiier colored leafage and stem than
Perle or its sports. In size it does not
materially differ from Perle, but its
beauty consists in its rich warm copper,
scarlet and old gold tints. It possesses
a good vigorous constitution and Is well
worth at least a limited trial by those
desiring a novel-tinted rose.
White Lady is considered by the gener-
ality of English growers as one of the
very finest roses extant. With us It has
done finely the past two years, and we
think it has great possibilities as a forc-
ing rose. It may be remarked that per-
haps it is the largest in size among rosed
and of grand shape. The name Is mie-
leading, for it is not white, but a delicate
blush, on the order of an apple blossom.
Most growers who have visited our place
the past season have been greatly
pleased with this magnificent variety.
It forces finely, produces buds on every
shoot, and is a larger rose than Ameri-
can Beauty; its fault — and all varieties
have their faults — is that many of the
stems are short. Its other grand quali-
ties give it a claim as a forcing variety.
It is smooth wooded, with but few
thorns, and has pleasing foliage.
We have not had the pleasure of view-
ing the white sport from Golden Gate,
but we hear it well spoken of, and we see
no reason why it should not prove an
interesting and useful variety, combining
the good qualities of its parent with the
new color.
Lady Dorothea Is admired by a consid-
erable number of growers and it has cer-
tain claims to popularity, but, like Perle
and Sunset, this rose, together with Sun-
rise, has its limitations, owing to thei
disfavor which, for the present, restsi
over the Perle des Jardlns lamily, partly
on account of its size, and partly because
bright pink is the leading color of the
present day.
Rose, RobertScott. From bloomsexblb-
Ited at the Fall show of the Pennsylva-
nia Horticultural Society last Autumn
(where it was awarded a silver medal)
I was quite favorably impressed. Many
of the flowers In the vase were models of
symmetry and fine form,sho wing pointed,
well-shaped buds, but other blooms in
the same vase were inclined to be short
in the petal, and rather after the style of
an h. p. before opening. It is practically,
as Mr. Scott declares, an everblooming
h. p.. and it certainly produces its flowers
with the greatest freedom under glass.
We suppose that blooms of this variety
will be exhibited at the forthcoming ex-
hibit of the American Rose Society, when
it may be critically examined by members
of this club, so that It might be best to
await that event before trying definitely
to decide as to its status among forcing
roses.
Another rose seeking favor is the pink
sport of American Beauty, the Queen of
Edgely. Much has been said and written
regarding this rose, and as It has been
extensively exhibited In New York (jttj
and in other parts of the country, mem-
bers of the club have had quite as good,
or even better, opportunity to form a
correct judgment than has your esspy-
1st. Any sport of American Beauty car-
rying the cnaracteristics of the parent
must always be of value.
There are roses In sight, but only a
limited few, which have promise of fiiiing
our pressing need as forcing roses, but
these are at present being tested, and it
would be unwise to predict their value
at this present time. Your essayist ex-
amined with minuteness many new roses
and unnamed seedlings when in Europe,
and out of the great number inspected,
only three had any promise for our Win-
ter forcing work In America. Your essay-
ist was quite disappointed as a result of
his search, and has arrived at the con-
clusion that rose diamonds are to be^
found only by working over a large ter-
ritory, and then at long Intervals.
Many of our European friends are-
working along lines that yield quick 're-
turns—that Is, with varieties that produce
seed easily, but these are not of the type
for producing forcing roses for America.
In new bedding roses for the garden,
the variety Balduln has promise: it
flowers freely In the open air, and the
majority of its flowers thus produced are
of high color and good substance. This
rose, when forced, produces a large num-
ber of Its flowers of an unpleasing shade
of lilac pink. It Is worth a trial as an
outdoor bedder for Summer cutting; It
is large, full, fragrant, and a fine grower.

novel colored ones; a few plants exhibit-
ed in pota at the Paris Exhibition last
May showed its possibilities as a line
pot subject, and further Inspection of this
high-colored rose at l^yons would Indi-
cate that it has rare qualities as a hardy
garden rose.
Gruss an Teplitz is a beautiful tree-
growing variety of velvety scarlet color;
very fragrant, extremely free, a tine rapid
grower, one that we leei sure will sup-
plant Agripplna and Queen's .Scarlet.
Ktd Uermosa belongs in the same gen-
eral bedding class, being a cross between
Keine Marie Henriette and Uermosa. It
snows no inclination to climb, as seen by
us this year. It is compact, but free in
growth, producing flowers of the form of
Hermosa, but a tine red in color. Its
hardiness remains to be proved.
Rose Terrei des Chenes is a beautiful
French tea variety of the type of Mme.
Watteville, a delicate mingling of tints,
tree in growth, very large and line in
bloom.
In newer h.p. roses, two varieties that
will prove a delight to every rose lover
who makes their acquaintance are the
red Captain Christy and Prlncipessa di
Napoli. Words can hardly describe their
periect beauty of color, form and foliage.
There are quite a number of other
really excellent roses that have been
added the past two years, which will
prove very pleasing additions to collec-
tions, and are possessed of sterling quali-
ties for the general grower and the ama-
teur. Among them are Mrs. Mawley,
Bessie Brown, Johannes Wesselholt,
Gardenia, Psyche and Mme. Hu8son,but
those described above are the sorts of
most striking distinctiveness in their re-
spective classes so far as yet determined
by a comparatively short trial.
In the discussion which ensued, Mr. Alex-
ander Scott, of Philadelphia, who was
present at the meeting, said that he had
grown Liberty for thiee years, but had
been uuaule to produce the blooms ob-
tained Mr. Ernst Asmus. He would still
continue to grow Liberty, however.
Speaking of new roses, Mr. Scottcorrobo-
rated Mr. Hill in that he also had ob-
served nothing on the other side during
his visit there that would be suitable for
Winter forcing in America. He had only
noticed one likely variety in Dickson's
trial grounds; this rose he had brought
over, but had not got a flower of it yet.
Soleil d'Or had produced magnificent
wood with him, but no flowers. The
special trouble that he had found with
Liberty was that after it got a check it
took about four months to get over it.
The best house of the variety in question
grown by him was one where the plants
had grown right along from the time of
planting until they came into bloom.
Others had been attacked by black spot
in August and gave scrubby plants
around Christmas. Liberty requires a
lighter soil than either Bride or Brides-
maid. He believed that the hot Summer
of ti e past season had been very detri-
mental to all rose stock. The best suc-
cess with Liberty outdoors he thought
would be obtained by setting out large
plants, from, say, four to six inch pots;
such stock would give good length of
stem. He had not grown the variety in-
side all Summer, although Mr. Asmus
had had very good success with it. .Some
of the flowers outside will come single
during the Summer, but toward the end
of August they commence to get double
as the cool nights approach. In Winter
the flowers ought not to be cut until the
latter part qi October, as Liberty was
purely a Winter rose. Mr. Scott also
thought that the new variety Robert
Scott would prove a satisfactory out-
door rope as Merveille de Lyon was its
pollen parent.
Air. «.' .uuia, speaking of foreign roses,
sai<i he was notiucliued to take the judg-
ment of any one man as a finality, and
cited various instances where varieties
that were a successon the other side bad
proven the reverse when grown liere
under our conditions, and vice versa, in-
stancing Her Majesty, Mrs. Wm. J. Grant
or Belle Slebrecht, Meteor and even the
American Beauty. He believed that for
outdoor culture in the United States the
roses produced In the south of France
are much better than any produced In
England, Scotland or Ireland, becaufe
the climatic conditions in the south of
France are somewhat like those prevail-
ing here. There is less humidity, there
are brighter skies, and soil conditions are
very much like a great proportion of
those found in our Eastern States, so
that roses raised in the south of France
are more likely to do well here than any
others. Touching upon the subject of
new roses, Mr. O'Mara referred to the
grand work done by John Cook, of Balti-
more, In producing such excellent varie-
ties as Cornelia Koch, Souvenir de Woot-
ton. In previous years, and later such
varieties as Admiral Schley, Mrs. Robert
Garrett, Baltimore, and others. Mr.
O'Mara considered Admiral Schley an
improvementon Gruss an Teplitz, which
was one of the very finest red roses intro-
duced into thin country up to the present
time. Mr. took's Baltimore had been
shown very favorably, but Its value had
yet to be determined. Mr. Hill in his pa-
per was a little too modest regarding
himself. The speaker, on a visit to Mr.
Hill's place last Fall, had seen there five
or six seedlings which were already pur-
chased by some of the largest houses in
the country. Some of these seedlings
will be very suitable for Winter forcing,
and unquestionably will be of value for
outdoor growing. Mr. Hill had succeeded
in producing several La France seedlings.
The type had gradually fallen behind in
later years, o«ing to ii lack of growth,
which the speaker considered was due to
over-propagation. He believed that re-
invigoratiou of varieties that showed a
tendency to a weakening of the constitu-
tion could be secured by obtaining a fresh
supply of grafted stock. Referring to the
new variety Robert Scott, though it
would undoubtedly do well as a Winter
forcing rose, he considered that its chief
value would lie in the fact of its being a
good outdoor flower. As to the variety
Balduin, it was one of the finest dull red,
ever-t)looming roses in the country,
etandiug the hot weather excellently.
Mr. Stewart referred to the hardiness
and fine-blooming qualities of the rote
Burbank. He had found some of the tips
green on March 10 in his garden in Bos-
ton, where the Winter was pretty severe.
The plant blooms right on through the
Suinuier up to November. Mr. Scott in-
dorsed Mr. Stewart's remarks, and char-
acterized Burirank as an improved Her-
mosa. He Ijelieved the best rose for out-
door culture was the White Maman
Cochet. Some of the florists of Philadel-
phia had obtained $5 and $6 per 100 for
flowers of this variety cut from the field
in October. It leas a Summerrose what
the lirlde is as a Winter rose.
F. L. Atkins remarked that out of a
large number of varieties tested on his
Brm's grounds at Rutherford, N. J., the
best were the white Maman Cochet and
pink Maman Cochet, Marie Van Houtte,
and the Kaiser.
John H. Taylor stated that there was
no questioning the fact that a rose will
run out after a certain length of time by
over-propagation or over-forcing, and
unless the rose growers will face the mat-
ter the time will eventually arrive when
the country will be without any good
roses, ilr. O'Mara thought that that
was one of the most important subjects
for the rose grower to consider. There
was a limit to the constitution of every
rose, no matter how good it might be.
If rose growers wanted to keep Bride,
Bridesmaid and American Beauty up to
their standard of the present time it
would be very necessary to be careful
about propagating from forced wood.
No bettter method of reinvigoration, so
to speak, could be had than by import-
ing. His firm had tried growing roses
on their own grounds, importing, grow-
ing roses in the .South on theirown roots,
and the best results had been obtained
from imported pot-grown grafted roses.
The propagation would, as a rule, be a
third greater than from stock grafted
here on wood grown inside. Whether it
was that the change of climatic condi-
tions or that the propagation was done
from a different grade of wood, he knew
that the vigor of the ropes was sup>Tior.
He believed that growers niiaht find it
of advantage to have their roses grown
in the South or else import pot-grown
stock.
Mr. Atkins told of some experiments
made in grafting on dorniniit wood dur-
ing the Winter. This, he believed, would
be the only thing that would save the
roses of the future. The roses forced dur-
ing the Winter could be planted out and
UPed for the purpose. In his experiment,
the young rosestock started right away,
was strong, and the percentnge of loss
was practically nothing. Mr. O'Mara
believed the stock imported by tliem was
of the kind of which Mr. Atkins had first
spoken. Mr. Atkins had tried imported
stock, but It hail been received in such
condition that the eyes never started at
all, or, if they did, they only made weak
growth. He preferred to use his own
grown wood. Plants were left in the
field, afterward brought into cold stor-
age, and although the weather had been
cold, the wood was In plump condition.
A vote of thanks was tendered to Mr.
Hill for his very able paper, after which
the meeting adjourned.

Rose Show Preparations.
We are requested to state that all
plants can be staged Monday night after
7 o'clock. The outlook for the attend-
ance is excellent; 30 boxes have already
been sold, and over 600 tickets at the f 5
rate, tor Tuesday. The landscape archi-
tect has decided to give representations
of Persian, .Japanese and Italian rose
gardens. Two additional rooms on the
same floor as that in which the main ex-
hibition is to be held have been secured
for the overflow exhibits, and itis hardly
thought that these will afford sufBcient
space to accommodate the whole of the
displays.
The following additional premiums are
announced:
Mrs. Clarence Mackay's prize of $50,
to be awarded for mirror decoration
of orchids.
The Mushenheim prize of ^50, for
dinner decoration of roses — first day.
Mr. Samuel Burns' prize of $25 to be
awarded for a vase of Mrs. T. W. Lawson
carnation, 200 blooms. Exhibitors may
use their own vase.
Mrs. W. P. Douglas' prizp of $50, divid-
ed into $35 as Hrst prize, $15 as second
prize, for a vase of 50 Mrs. T. W. Law-
son carnations.
Mrs. C. Alexander prize of $50, divided

Society of American Florists
and Ornamental Horticulturists.
The regular Winter session of the Exec-
utive Committee was held at the Genesee
Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., on March 5 and C.
The follovvlng members were present:
President Patrick O'.Mara, ex-Presideut
E. M. Wood, Vice-President W. V. Kast-
ing. Secretary W. J. Stewart, Treasurer
H. B. Beatty and Messrs. C. W. Ward, J.
F. Sullivan, A. B. Cartledge, J. D. Car-
mody, Alex. Wallace, Emil Buettner and
R. Wittersttetter. Thereportsof secretary,
treasurer. Department of Registration
and the Legislative and Fertilizer Com-
mittees were presented. The treasurer's
report indicated receipts for 1900 of $3,-
000.45, the largest on record; disburse-
ments, $2,094.98; leaving a balance in
the general fund of $1,756.02. Additions
to the life membership fund during the
year, with accrued interest, amounted
to $369.45, making a total in this fund,
January 1, of $954.45.
The Legislative Committee was in-
structed to watch any proposed legisla-
tion regarding fumigation of nursery
stock, and to advocate the passage of
proposed laws establishing a parcels
post. The Legislative Committee, as ap-
pointed for this year, is composed of
Messrs. John N. May, Robert Craig and
Benjamin Durfee.
A telegram from ex-President Wm. R.
Smith, of Washington, announcing the
passing and signing of the national char-
ter, was received with much joy, and a
congratulatory response was sent.
The relations of the so-called auxiliary
societies to the incorporated mother so-
ciety were then considered. It was the
opinion that the best efficiency of the
various organizations might be secured
with the greatest economy of expense
and effort by some manner of federation
under the charter ot the central body,
and in furtherance of this idea a commit-
tee, consisting of Messrs. Wood, Ward,
Beatty, Stewart and Buettner, with
President O'Mara, was appointed, to con-
sider and devise ways and means wheie-
by closer relations may be established
and maintained between the .S. A. F.
O. H. and the various trade oganiza-
tions now existent, particularly to estab-
lish uniform registration of plants.
It (vas also decided that in the call tor
the first meeting of incorporators, the
Carnation, Chrysanthemum, Rose an.d
Dahlia Societies be invited to send repre-
sentatives to participate in the prelimi-
nary work of organizing the S. A. F.O.H.
under the new charter. Further consid-
eration ot the relations ot the S. A. F.
O. H. with other horticultural bodies
throughout the country resulted in the
adoption ot an order offering one silver
and one bronze medal, each to be award-
ed through 10 designated organizations
that maintain at leastone regular public
exhibition annually — the medals to be
awarded for new and meritorious plants
or flowers ot American origin.
Matters connected with the coming
convention and routine business of the
current year were then taken up. It was
decided that the meetings and exhibition
should be held at City Convention Hall,
Buffalo, N. Y., opening on Tuesday, Au-
gust 6, 1901, and continuing for flve
days. The following general arrange-
ment of the program was adopted, sub-
ject to such changes as may appear nec-
essary later on:
Tuesday forenoon, usual opening exer-
cises, reports of officers, etc. Afternoon,
judging tradeexhibitsand entertainment
of visiting ladies. Evening, president's
reception and stereoptleun lecture.
Wednesday forenoon, nomination of
officers, selection of next meeting place
and discussion on the adoption of consti-
tution and by-laws under the charter.
Afternoon, shooting tournament and
meeting of auxiliary societies. Evening,
stereopticon lecture.
Thursday forenoon, election of officers
and papers upon the following subjects:
"Flowering Plants and Their Treatment
torChristmas Sales." '"American Beauty
tor January Cut." "Results of Sec-
ond Year System with Tea Roses Dnder
Glass." Evening a paper on "Steam
Heating for Greenhouses," covering the
amount ot each kind of coal required to
evaporate a pound of water and of each
kind of coal to produce a horse power
per hour in establishments ot varied spec-
ified extent. The paper to be by a scien-
tific expert and followed by a discussion
by experienced growers.
Friday, a visit to the Pan-American
Exposition as guests ot the Buffalo Flo-
rists' Club.
.Saturday, bowling tournament.
A reciprocal arrangement regarding
the general management of the trade ex-
hibition was made with the Buffalo Flo-
rists' Club, similar to that made last
year with the New York Florists' Club.
The rule admitting plants or fiowers free
to the trade exhibition, when entered for
exhibition purposes only, wasabrogated.
Otherwise, the rules as to space, judging,
awards, etc., all remain as before.
The following appointments were
made: Botanist, Dr. N. L. Britton; en-
tomologist. Professor L. O. Howard;
vegetable pathologist. Professor A. F.
Woods; superintendent trade exhibition,
Charles H. Keitsch. Committee on
Sports, James Braik, Wm. Scott and W.
B. Scott. W. R. Smith was added to the
Committee on Permanent Home.
The Committee on i'inal Resolutions
presented the following, which was
adopted:
The members ot the Executive Com-
mittee ot the S. A. F., in meeting assem-
bled, desire to express their thanks to the
Buffalo Florists' Club for the magnificent
hospitality and many courtesies shown
during theirstay in this city, also to such
of the daily press as have liindly made
mention of our sessions in their columns.

American Rose Society.
A suggestion has been offered by the
president ot the American Rose Society
that New York be made the " permanent
home ot the society," also that steps be
taken to establish some system by or
under which local societies may become
branches of the national organization.
By the term "permanent home," and
from the tenor of President Dorrance's
remarks in a recent issue of another pa-
per, we infer that it is that gentleman's
desire that each recurring anuual meet-
ing and exhibition of the American Rose
Society take place in New York City.
From the standpoint of the society it-
self, and judging by the encouragement
and support that lias been accorded to
the association by some traders and
amateurs alike, in connection with the
exhibition to be held next week, there
seems to be a partial justification for the
president's proposition. On the other
hand, the Interests of the membership,
particularly the trade members, have to
be taken into consideration also. There
is no ground for belief that those ot the
trade who havenowso liberally contrib-
uted to the society's prize list for the
New York show, would withhold their
support were the exhibition to take place
in some city other than New York;
neither is there any reason to believe
that an effort equal to that put forth by
those In charge of the show in the metrop-
olis to obtain outside assistance, would
be lacking in the case ot others similarly
intrusted in some other city. The " para-
mount issue" so far as the trade is con-
cerned seems to be, will the florists of
America generally be beneflted to the
same extent by permanentannual exhibi-
tions held in New York, as they would
be were the annual exhibitions peripa-
tetic, as seems to have been contemplated
by the constitution ot the society, sup-
ported by a statement in the associa-
tion's prospectus in the follovping lan-
guage, viz., to " organize a system of ex-
hibitions at such times and places as this
society may from time to time decide
on"? In other words, would, for exam-
ple, a show held by the American Rose
Society in New York benefit the Phila-
delphia or Boston flower trade, similarly
to an exhibition given by the same so-
ciety in either Boston or Philadelphia?
Our own opinion is that it would not.
National shows should be and are pro-
ductive of greater interest both among
the trade and the public than are purely
local affairs. There is abundant evidence
In support of this assertion — e.g., the ex-
hibitions of the American Carnation So-
ciety and others.
In addition to this restriction of enthu-
siasm, the holding of a permanent show
such as is suggested would, too, narrow
the exhibition itself by confining it, mak-
ing It available onl.v to those exhibitors
whose flowers could be safely shipped to
the exhibition point — and that perma-
nently likewise — thereby precluding other
members at a great distance, equally
entitled to a share ot any resultant bene-
fits accruing from such a show, who
would naturally contributeexhibits were
the place ot exhibition more favorably
located to these exhibitors from partici-
pation therein.
The Rose Society will, after its show
next week, have made an impression in
New York, sufficient to establish itselt as
a beneflcial institution there, and will
have exerted an influence which can be
sufliciently maintained from time to time
by a subdivision or local organization
for some years to come. We believe its
duty to its members and to itself, so as
to conform thoroughly to .its national
character, is to make its anuual shows
and meeting ot an itinerant nature, as
seems decidedly to be the intent ot its
constitution. " It cannot betoo strongly
stated that this society is not formed in
the interests of any class, clique or sec-
tion," says the society's prospectus.
Let that assertion be supported by ac-
tions, and let nothing be done that will
impair the bona fides ot the statement.
We feel confident that other cities will
" exert themselves for the welfare of this
society" whenever called upon. Up to
the present time they have hud no oppor-
tunity, though the premium list gives
every evidence ot theinclination so to do.
The establishing ot local branches of
the society we thoroughly concur in and '
have previously advocated; but let the
influence ot the national society, as a
society, be felt in every large center. .
New York Florists' Club.
The unpropitious weather was no doubt
responsible for the rather small attend-
ance at the club meeting on Monday even-
ing, March 11. President Sheridan occu-
pied the chair. Mr. O'Mara reported that
the resolutions, elegantly engrossed and
framed, had been presented to Mr. John
H. Starln, who expressed his high appre-
ciation of the gift.
On behalf of the Legislative Committee
Mr. O'Mara announced that the provi-
sions of the bill pending in the New York
Legislature exempted what was generally .
known as "florists' stock," and that he
had received information that there
would be probably no objection to that
clause in the bill. The speaker believed ,
that the fruit growers would betterserve ,
their own ends by acting on the advice ,
which he had given the nurserymen on a ,
previous similar occasion — to let legisla-
tion alone. He was sorry that the other
florists' associations Instates affected by
these various legislative measures had
not taken up the matter with the same
vim that the New Y'ork Florists' Club
had done; in such cases the florists
should use their utmost endeavors to
protect their own interests. Mr. Kelsey
also referred to the perniciousness of the
legislation, and stated what had been
the outcome of the efforts to have such
measures put in force, namely, a divid-
ing of some of the State horticultural
societies.
It was announced that the schedule for
the forthcoming Fall show was in the
hands ot the printer, and would be ready
for distribution shortly.
A letter was read from G. T. Sehune-
mann, Baldwins, N. Y., donating $50 as ^
a prize for 500 violets to be exhibited '
under certain conditions at the October
show.
The Exhibition Committee reported
that the new rose Robert Scott had
scored 85 points judged under the scale
of the American Rose Society. After some
discussion, and with a desire to encour-
age the production of American rotes,
the club awarded a silver medal to this
variety on account ot its sterling merits.
Mr. Wallace stated that the Executive
Committee ot the S. A. F. O. H. had de-
cided to donate onebronzeand one silver
medal, to be competed tor at the coming
show ot the club. The secretary was in-
structed to return thanks tor the S. A. F.
O. H.'s donation, and to ascertain the
nature of the competition for these
medals.
The following resolutions were passed
with applause regarding the securing of
a national charter tor the S. A. F. O. H.:
Whereas, We have learned that the
S. A. F. O. H. is now a chartered society
under a law made by the Congress of the
Uuited States, signed by the President;
and
Whereas, Mr. Wm. R. Smith, superin-
tendent ot the Botanic Gardens, Wash-
ington, D. C, has labored long and earn-
estly to secure to the florists ot the United
States this unique privilege, full of great
possibilities and pregnant with beneflt
to the horticulture of the country; there-
fore be it
Resolved, That we of the New York
Florists' Club hereby gratefully acknowl-
edge our great obligation to Mr. Smith,
and voice our opinion that he has thus
been the instrument of the greatest Eood
to horticulture in his day and generation.
The paper of E. G. Hill was then read
by Mr. O'Mara. It, together with the
discussion thereon, appears in another
part of this issue.

(Sa) Asencies for Sale of Green-
house Property. — Please ^ivethe names
and addresses of different parties who
make a specialty of selling greenhouse
property in a radius of 50 miles of New
YorliCity.— J. N. S.
—J. Eeeber Sons, 409-421 East 107th
Street, New Yorii, andL. Ussing, 53 West
28th Street. New Yorls.
(86) Trouble with Tomato Plant.
— The tomato plaut sent with your let-
ter of March 5 was carefully examined.
The stem and roots appear to be healthy,
but the leaves were so dry and distorted
when they reached us that we could not
determine from them what had caused
the trouble. However, no fungi were
found on any part of the plant, and it is
quite certain, therefore, that the iujury
is not due to them. — Albert F. Woods,
Chief of Division Vegetable Physiology
and Pathology.
(87) Fertilizer for Carnations.—
Kindly give formula for a good fertilizer
for carnations that are oft crop. The
bed is not iu a very good condition, we
having talien the greenhouses late and
could not change the soil. Would nitrate
of soda be a good stimulant for the
plants? — A Subscriber.
— The best stimulant for the carnation
is liquid manure. Make this by putting
manure (cow dung if available) into a
barrel or tank, filling up with water,
then stirring the mixture considerably,
after which allow it to stand until set-
tled. Water the beds with the liquid;
then fill up the barrel until the liquid is
wanted again. After three or four doses
have been taken out, clean out the barrel
and put in tresb manure again. Give
the plants the liquid every five or six
days.
(88) Sweet Peas Not Blooming. —
Can you tell me why my sweet peas do
not bloom ? i started the seeds in pots,
and about the latter part of November
planted in benches which had been occu-
pied by chrysanthemums, planting across
the benches, about 2 feet apart, afford-
ing wire netting supports. Thevinesare
now 31/2 to 4 inches In height, but do not
show any sign of bloom. They appear
to be unusually thrifty and healthy. I
give a temperature of 48 to 52 degrees
nights, as part of the house is occupied
by carnations. The varieties are Blanche
Ferry and Blanche Burpee. Can you sug-
gest a remedy ?— J. H. K.
— We cannot see any reason why the
sweet peas are not already flowering, un-
less it be that they have been fed too
heavily. Seeing that thevines are in such
gool condition, there is no doubt they
will soon commence to bloom profusely.
If it has been the practice to feed with
liquid, it would be advisable to discon-
tiuue it until flowering begins.
BRIEFS FOR BUSY FLORISTS.
Gebanioms— Fall struck cuttings
should all be got into the 4-Ineh pots
about this time. To hold them in the 3-
inch size any longer will be of no advan-
tage, but make them of no more value
than such plants that have been rooted
since January. See that the plants are
not dry at the roots when they are
potted. Use any ordinary soil to pot
with, and do not try to make it too rich
by adding a lot of manure. About one-
eighth of the latter is plenty to use when
preparing soil for geraniums.
Genistas and Acacias should be show-
ing color nicely by this time. They may
be put into a cool house to be (luite well
harSened for Easter sales, and will give
far greater satisfaction than If sold direct
from a warm temperature.
Hydrangeas.— An effort should be
made to have the hydrangeas in a cool
house for at least one week before they
are sold. These plants are very short-
lived if not subjected to a gradual hard-
ening-off process.
Transplanting.— When transplanting
many seedlings ot annuals that are com-
In; along at this time, it will be found
better to use wooden flats in preference
to either pots or pans, because flats can
he easier handled and take up less room.
Use those 3-lnches deep and place an inch
of rough soil In the bottoms before put-
ting in the finer soil. Have a few holes
bored in the bottom of each flat to allow
the water to get away, or else, when
making the flats, leave cracks 14-inch
wide between the pieces that form the
bottoms.
CoLEUS.— The main batch of cuttings
should be taken duringthe coming week.
Take ever.v single cutting available at
this time, if nice plants are wanted dur-
'ng the latter part of May.
Cinerarias that seem a little too for-
ward can be held back comfortably for
Easter time by being Iseptln a cool house
both night and day. Care must be taken
that they are not watered too much
while being kept cool.
Lilac plants that are just bursting
their buds are all right for Easter. Syr-
inge regularly every day, as that helps
to make the plants come even.
glass will be the best possible place for
them.
Have the land where the asters are to
bloom plowed or dug very deeply,
working in a good heavy dressing of ma-
nure at the same time. As soon as all
danger from frost is over, level up the
ground with a fork or coarse rake, and
plant the earliest sown batch of plants.
Put them in rows 18 inches apart, with
12 inches between the plants. Plant the
successive batches as they become large
enough and cuftivate the ground between
the plants regularly once a week, both
for the purpose of keeping down weeds
and having the soil moist. When the
plants commence growing nicely out-
doors, keep a sharp lookout for the little
black fly, and should he appear, which
he will do if there is any dry weather,
syringe the plants thoroughly with one
of the tobacco insecticides, repeating the
treatment as often as is necessary to keep
the fly thoroughly in checls.

Asters for Market.
To the many questions received inquir-
ing about thecultlvationof asters tor the
wholesale market, we present a brief re-
sum^ of the culture of these plants which
will cover all the salient points. In tbe
flret place, a succession of blooms is de-
sirable, and to this end the sowing of
seeds should be done at intervals, tbe
first sowing taking place by the middle
of February, followed by sowings at in-
tervals until the first day of JuDe. There
are several good strains of aster peed iu
the market, and the best plan will be to
procure some of each of these, bearing in
mind that the best-selling colors are usu-
ally purple, white, and the light shade of
pink.
Sow the seed in pans or shallow flats,
according to the number of plants re-
quired, and as soon as the seedlings are
large enough transplant them into boxes
that are about three inches deep and
filled with good soil which has about
one-fifth of well-rotted manure mixed
with it. Keep the .voung plants grow-
ing on to the time they are planted out-
doors, but do not try to push them fast
in any way by keeping them in a warm
greenhouse. A cool, light house where
the boxes can be kept pretty close to the
price in New Y'ork market would be could
easily be told by looking through the
columns of The Florists' Exchange.—
probably somewhere about $2 per 100.

A Quarter-Century of Work.
"A Quarter-Century's Evolution in
American Horticulture" was the subject
of the lecture at Horticultural Hall,
Boston, February 23, last. The speaker
was Patrick O'Mara of New York, N. Y.,
President of the S. A. F. O. H. He said
in part:
The phenomenal progress made in hor-
ticulture during the past few years may
well supply a theme for the essayist, pro-
vide food for thought to those engaged
in its devfiopment, and prove an inter-
esting study for thoseeven remotely con-
nected withit. While horticulture gener-
ally has made great strides forward, the
most pronounced progress has been
made iu floriculture, particularly in the
growing of cut flowers to supply the
great cities during the Winter season. It
Is In this particular branch of floriculture
that American horticulture can justly
claim precedence over all others, and al-
though the scope of this paper is not lim-
ited to that alone, a review of it will
form the principal part. So pronounced
Is the advance in greenhouse construc-
tion, in methods of growing, in business
methods, in the varieties of roses, carna-
tions, chrysanthemums, geraniums, can-
nas and other flowering plants, that the
progress made may be well termed evo-
lution. Coincident with the advance
made in growing, and equally pro-
nounced, is the great change in the retail
stores; in fact, much of the change in the
growing must be credited to the enter-
prise of the retailer.
My first actual contact with the great
New York cut flower market was in the
Winter of 1874-75. It seems incredible
in these days that one man carrying
flowers in a basket, with a boy to help
on busy days, and the use of a horse and
wagon at Christmas and New Year's,
would dispose of about $35,000 worth
of fiowers annually, but such was the
fact. A large basket, such as was in gen-
eral use to carry cut flowers then, wouid
hold an amazing lot of flowers. Le Pac-
tole, Lamarque, Safrano, Isabella Sprunt,
Bon Silene and Douglas roses, cut with
stems about a foot long in the extreme,
didnottakeup much room; carnations
picked short and a few perhaps on stems
about six inches long; double white
primula picked short, Stevia compacta,
bouvardias, abutilons, bunches of helio-
trope, Chorozema varia, Lilium candi-
dum. Euphorbia jacqulniflora, tube-
roses, lily of the valley, eupatorium, al-
lamandas, begonias, Dutch bulb stock,
Jasminum graudiflorum, callas, violets,
sweet alyssum, mignonette, Cleroden-
dron Balfouri, Eucharis amazonica,
leaves of Cissus discolor, smilax, leaves of
pelargonium Madame Pollock, rose
geranium leaves, fern fronds, anything
and everything in the shape of flowers
could be sold in the early jiart ot the last
quarter century. The camellia was in
the market when I flrst began, but was
rapidl,v passing away. It is interesting
to note that the camellia was much In
evidence among the flowers used at the
funeral of the late Queen of England, and
that there is every evidence of a revival
of them. Thus do fashions change, and
the favoriteof to-day may bethe despised
outcast to-morrow. Orchids, with the
exception of Cypripedium insigne, Den-
drobiuni noblle, Bletia Tankervillige or
Phaius grandifolius, Peristeria elata and
zygopetalum, were practically unknown,
and only a few of these found their way
to market— mainly from private collec-
tions.
It was about 1875 that the flrst de-
cided ground swell in the coming evolu-
tion iu floriculture was felt. All eyes
were being turned toward the rose; the
varieties then being grown were far from
satisfactory, larger flowers and a better
grade were demanded, and the supply
was forthcoming. The growers of Madi-
son, N. J., began sending in Cornelia
Cook, and a great revelation it was!
(General Jacqueminot was artificially
rested and forced into flower, the buds
bringing from $1 to $2 each. William
Francis Bennett and Pierre Guillot were
tried in an effort to provide the desired
red rose in Winter and failed. Souvenir

held its own until the growers realized
tile needs of Meteor, which has since held
the field until challenged by Liberty, to
which ithas not yet relinqnished it. Sou-
venir d'un Ami was unable to hold its
place against the grand Catherine Mer-
met, and the day came when her fair
daughter, Bridesmaid, drove the parent
from the market. The Bride, another
daughter of Mermet. quickly drove Cor-
nelia Cook and Niphetos into obscurity.

before theparent. About 1885 the Ameri-
can Beauty was ushered in. This grand
rose has surpassed the most sanguine
predictions of the prophets, and up to
the present time is without a rival. One
daughter, American Belie, has passed on,
but another and fairer daughter, the
Queen of Edgeiy, has made her d(?but,
and whether she can move in the same
orbit has yet to be determined. Mme.

Morgan, Belle Siebrecht, Mme. Caroline

dent Carnot, each has had its day;
some of them are having It stili, but a
comparatively small day it is. Papa

trade; the market florist near the large
cities, who grows soft-wooded flowering
and ornamental foliaged bedding plants

decorative plants, such as palms, for the
city retail florist; and the florist in the
smaller cities and towns who supplies a
local trade almost exclusively.
The flrst-mentloned is perhaps the most
important and the most interesting.
The men engaged in it have to decide
what to take up and what to drop, and
as the majority decide, so it will be in
nine cases out of ten. The catalogue man
reaches where no florist or seedsman has
yet ventured. The development of the
catalogue has been wonderful in the ex-
treme. Twenty-flve years ago the most
ambitious in the country was a book of

-Next in importance to the rose as a cut
flower comes the carnation. The devel-
opment of the carnation in this country
is distinctively American. The varieties
in use have been raised here, the methods
of culture have been perfected here. From
Hinsdale to Prosperity; from Portia to
America, G. H. (Jrane and Jubilee: from
President de Graw to Lizzie McGowan,
Flora Hill, Alaska and White Cloud;
from La Purite to Tidal Wave, William
Scott and Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson;
from Miss Joliffe to Daybreak; from
Charmer to Mrs. George M. Bradt and
Olympia; from Astoria to Buttercup and
Gold Nugget; from Rosy Morn to
Ethel Crocker, I'heMarquisand Genevieve
Lord; from Crimson King to General
Maceo, General Gomez, Egypt and Gov-
ernor Roosevelt — theseindicate the giant
strides made, but tell little of the patient.
Intelligent efforts of the hybridizers. It
is a record of which Ameiican horticul-
turists may well feel proud.
The violet, that other important mem-
ber of the cut-flower family, has grown
In importance with the others, but its
history does not contain as much interest
as does that of the rose or carnation.
The chrysanthemum, which forms a hy-
crop in the cut-flower market, exhibits
one of the most wonderful efforts In
American horticulture to develop and
popularize a particular flower. To Mr.
John Thorpe isdue much of the credit for
this. The exhibitions in New York be-
ginning in 1880, also in Philadelphia and
Boston, the Importation from Japan of
the collection containing Mrs. C. H.
Wheeler and other good sorts, the impor-
tation in 1888 containing Mrs. Alpheus
Hardy and other valuable varieties, im-
portations from England and the conti-
nent, the rapid production of seedlings
of pronounced merit here, all combined
to set afloat on the sea of popular favor
the glorious Queen of Autumn. It is
highly creditable to our cultivators that
well among the best varieties in the
world to-day are found varieties raised
here.
;,;Now, let us glance at the evolution In
the plant trade. It is to-day divided into,
say, five sections — the catalogue trade,
•the carnation rooted cutting trade,
about 100 pages, G x !) inches, in a
plain cover aud sparsely illustrated.
This was a tremendous advance over
what was published ten years before.
To-day the leading catalogue has lO-l
pages, is a book 8V2 x I01/2 inches, has
an illuminated cover, tix colored plates,
colored photographic scenes, every page
Is profusely illustrated and ten copies are
distributed for one sent out 25 years
ago. Although I am unable to say liow
many Arms issued catalogues 25 years
ago, yet I think 100 would cover them.
To-day there are about a50 in the
I eld. In addition to these we must con-
sider the great number of foreign
catalogues sent here; the American
trade is no mean item to European
houses. Owing to the great variety of
stock carried by seedsmen, florists and
nurserymen, advertising must take the
forms of securing distribution for the
catalogue. The first, I believe, to adver-
tise a specialty as a vehicle to distribute
the catalogue was Peter Henderson,
with the celebrated moonflower in 1887.
ile first offered the plant in his catalogue
as Calonyction grandiflorum, or Even-
ing Glory, in 1879, the text dilating on
its moonlike flowers. In 1884 the name
moonflower was used in the catalcgue
for the first time; the price was 20 cents
then and up to 1887. When it was ad-
vertised in the magazines the price was
fixed at 40 cents each, and the demand
was phenomenal, about 60,000 plants
being sold, against 2,000 the previous
year. This experiment showed so forci-
bly the value o( a popular and descrip-
tive name and the use of a speclalt.y that
the plan was followed by many there-
after with varying success. The use of
the appellatloti Ostrich-Piume Chrysan-
themum for Mrs. Alpheus Hardy, and
of the Memorial Rose for Rosa Wichnr-
aiana were equally productive of results.
But man.v overshot the mark, and some
of the alleged popular names were not
descriptive and were meaningless in their
application. The offering of a money
prize for a suitable name was the natural
outgrowth of the first principle, and for
a time was a potent agent in attracting
customers. All th«'8e are interesting as
manifestations of the evolution of Ameri-
can horticulture. The catalogue trade
In plants. Influenced no doubt by the cut-
flower market, is given up largely now
to roses, chrysanthemums, carnations,
etc. Twenty-five years ago there was a
larger collection of plants offered than
to-day. Thisisscmewhattobe regretted.
The greenhouses on large private places
are mainly devoted to growing cut
flowers insteadof collectlonsof stoveand
greenhouse plants. For this reason they
are not so Interesting to visitors, nor
even to the owners, and a return to the
former vogue would be an improvement.
The period which we are contemplating
saw the rise, the climax and the partial
fall of the ornate bed, involved design,
and carpet system of outdoor bedding.
That it was carried to excess is undenia-
ble. It is questionable taste to show
prize-fighters and elephants in orna-
mental beds of plants. Butterflies could
be tolerated, flags are not so bad; but
ships thatdonot sail and railroad trains
that never go can only be regarded as
monstrosities in lawn decorations. This
school of gardening was vigorously at-
tacked in the house of its fi lends by Wil-
liam McMillan at the convention o( the
Society of American Florists in 1889. At
the World's Fair in 18'J3 it wasconspicu-
ous by its absence. The pendulum swung
too far the other way ; there the reaction
came, and we are promised some orna-
mental bedding at the Pan-American b.x-
position in Buffalo this j ear.
The Society of American Florists,
founded in 1885, brought about a con-
centration of effort otherwise impracti-
cable, if not impossible. A trade press
was established through which intelli-
gence was disseminated. The annual
meetings brought men together and ideas
were exchanged, rivalry was fostered,
and ambition received a spur. Florists'
clubs and gardeners' associations have
sprung up in all the larj^e cities. We have
the Kose Society, the Dahlia Society, the
Florists' Hail Association and the F'lo-
rists' Protective Association. New
plants are olfleially registered; printed
labels are in general use in the shipping
trade; hotels and private residences are
bowers of exotic plants; one may urder
in New York to have flowers delivered in
Paris, London or Berlin. These are a
few of the mile-stones in a quarter-cen-
tury's progress. In that period we have
seen introduced the Bermuda Illy, the
Crozy cannas and their seedlings; we
have seen roses propagated during the
Summer and distributKl by millions and
tens of millions by mail and express; we
have seen the home grower successfully
compete in budded roses with the for-
eigner; cheap and good land with energy
plus have beaten cheap labor; we have
had Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri;
we have bad the Crimson Rambler roee;
we have seen the bay trees dot our
streets; we have seen great botanic gar-
dens like the Bronx brought into being;
we have seen the wondeiful development
anthemums, roses, etc. There are other
plauts which signalize the quarter cen-
tury, but I feel that I have named enough
to show the progess made.
Cyclamen Grown for Seed.
The illustration shows a house, 12 x
100 feet, containing about 500 plants,
selected out of 14,000, which we have been
growing the past season. With cyclamen
more than any otherpiantitisabsolutely
necessary to produce a good strong seed,
if good flowering plants are expected.
The seed plants must be vigorous and
healthy aud of medium size (12 to 15 inch-
es diameter), with the foliage distinctly
marked. Theflowersmusthave a strong,
stiff stem, not too tall, but standing well
above the foliage. The blooms must be
perfect in shape, of good size, and last,
but not least, of pure, clear color. We
allow eachplantfrom lOto 25 setdpods;
additional flowers are picked off.
From now on until the seed ripens
(May and Junejihe plantsrequiie plenty
of water. It liquid manure can be given
twice a week, so much better are the re-
suits. Carnation supports are used to
hold the flowerstemsin a good airy posi-
tion, as the seeds are heavy and the
stems cannot support them. We pick as
soon as the seed pods show signs of
bursting. Each pod contains from 50
to lOOseeds, which at flrstare white, but
soon turn to their brown natural color.
•So much has been written about the
growing of cyclamen thatwe think it un-
nicessary to treat thesubject In lull here.
.Seed can be sown from the month of Au-
gust until January. Sow in boxes or
pans, having good drainage; keep well
moistened. In about six weeks the
young plants will make their appearance.
When the second leaf shows itself trans-
plant.
We often hear the remark that good
cyclamen canbegrown only In leaf mold,
which, of course, is a good thing it it can
be had; nevertheless, we have seen plants
grown without any leaf mold whatever,
and by proper care they have made exhi-
bition subjects even.
It you have good airy houses, with
modern ventilating apparatus, grow cy-
clamen therein. If not. take frames with
top and bottom ventilation. Do not
house your plants in the Fall until com-
pelled to do so by frost. Give a light
and airy house, and keep the tempera-
ture a trifle lower than that giveu carna-
tions.
As to the demand at Christmas, we
must say that although we Increase the
quantity every year, we never have been
able to fill all orders.

of the Arnold Arboretum, the Metropoli-
tan system of parks in Boston, have seen
the Back Bay Fens converted from a
swamp Into a garden; and here I desire
to say that in all which tends to the ad-
vancement of horticulture along its best
and broadest lines, the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society has played and is
playing a most prominent part. The
Boston fern has Impresseil itself on the
horticulture of the day. Begonia Glolre
de Lorraine has appeared, and this re
minds me of how nimii we owe to Le-
molne, Bruant and other foreign hybrid-
izers for improved heliotropes, syriiigas,
begonias, fuscblaB, pelargoniums, chrys-
iiriatum. A strain similar to this one has
been put in commerce by n Belgian
grower, and is called the Papillo.or Put-
terfly cyclamen. We also procured s<eds
of this strain, but hatl no results what-
ever. Two years ago we were fortunate
enough to secure some seedlings of our
own. and by gradually selecting tliise,
reduced the number ot seed plants to
seven having perfect flowers. Another
.\earwlll put us in a fiosition to offer a
U-\\ hnndreil ot these plants to the trade.
This is a decided novelty In cyclamen,
and will readily find admirers.

The Market.
During this, the mid-Leuteu season,
business is in a passive mood. There are
no severe gluts in any line, though the
supply of daffodils is too ample to keep
the price at any standard flgure. The
top grades of roses are not any too plen-
tiful, consequently it has been possible to
clear out at fairly good prices. The
shorter grades are much more in evi-
dence, and do not move so easily. The
weather has been moderate enough, so
that the street venders could use a large
quantity of the cheaper flowers, and this
has relieved the market of violets, carna-
tions, tulips, etc., to a great extent.
Mignonette is hard to dispose of; there
seems to be too much grovi-n this year.
Smilax goes well at from $1.50 to -12 per
dozen strings. Lilies are plentiful, and
they are of many grades. Callas are very
slow sellers. Orchids, such as cattley as,
go all right, but boxes of mixed orchids
are not much in demand.
With the rose show coming next week
we may expect a little more life in the
cut-flower business.
An ExMbition.
At the American Institute's rooms,
Wednesday last, there was an exhibition
of flowers. C. W. Ward showed vases of
many of his carnations. A bunch of
seedlings was very much admired, and
the two new Tarleties, Golden Beauty
and Novelty, wereeach awarded a certiti-
cate of merit. The same exhibitor also
had splendid bunches of Mrs.G.M. Bradt,
Morning Glory, Governor Koosevelt, Mrs.
T. W. Lawson, G. U. (Jrane, and Joseph
H. Manley. Wm. Turner showed a bunch
of Mrs. T. W. Lawson, that were in per-
fect form, also a vase uf The Marquis.
C. U. Allen had a flne exhibit, including
such kinds as Lizzie McGowan, G. H.
Crane, Koslyn, William Scott, Ethel
Crocker and Mrs. Frances Joost.
J. M. Hay, Stamford, Conn., sent a very
creditable exhibit, including The Mar-
quis, G. H. Crane, Genevieve Lord, Mrs.
G. M. Bradt, Melba, Olympia, White
Cloud, General Gomez and General Maceo.
G. T. Schuneman, Baldwins, L. L, re-
ceived a flrst-class certificate for .500
finely grown Marie Louise violets. H.
Clinkaberry, Trenton, N. J., showed a
large collecton of cyprlpedium blooms.
Siebrecht & Son had a nice display of
Spring flowers, including flats of tulips
and daffodils, pots of lily of the valley,
flowering cherries and lilac, also a bunch
of forsythia. At the meeting Messrs. Sie-
brecht, C. L. Allen and Professor M. G.
Kains, of the Briarchffe Manor School of
Horticulture, gave interesting talks on
bulbs and Spring flowers. C. W. Ward
spoke on carnations, and described the
methods used in cross-fertilization and
the great improvement making with the
divine flower. His remarks were listened
to with great interest.
The Horticultural Society of New York
held a meeting the same afternoon when
Professor Kains spoke on "Ginseng, its
Cultivation and Commercial Value."
The New York Gardeners' Society had
a meeting called for last Saturday night,
but there were uotenough members pres-
ent to transact any business, and the
meeting was therefore adjourned indefi-
nitely.
Entries for the rose show next week are
coming in so fast that it has been neces-
sary to engage two more rooms to ac-
commodate the numerous exhibits.

Signs of Spring are quite evident in
the reappearance of theplant and bulb fa-

and the place will be run in conjunction
with the Arm's present establishment,
until the lease of thelatter expires, which
occurs in 1902.
Wadley & Smythe have recently moved

Trade Notes.
Business is inclined to be quiet; at
the same time all good stock, be it o( first
or second grade, sells. The outlook for
Easter is aii right, with the exception of
HarriHil lilies. These will be very scarce,
owing to the fact that the disease in the
bulbs has played havoc with the bloom-
ing qualities. Carnations and roses will,
1 tniuk, be in good supply.
A Trip and a Carnation Show.
Theeventsof the week were the trip
to Newcastle, Ind., and the carnation
exhibition and meeting. The former
was taken in by Wm. Murphy Geo. S.
Bartlett and myself. We arrived at New-
castle about noon, being joined at Rich-
mond by E. G. Hill, Fred Lemon, John
and George Heinl, of Toledo, Ohio, a d
Terre Haute, Ind., and M. Barker, of
Chicago. We were met at the station by
Herbert Heller. The firm s establish-
ment is in the best of condition to throw
a crop of roses for Easter. The most in-
teresting house was one devoted to Mar-
quise de Litta rose. This variety next
year will be American Beauty's strongest
rival. Of course it has its faults, like the
rest of them. After viewing the houses
a photograph was taken of the visitors
on top of a pile of lumber. At 3 p. m.
we left, accompanied by the greater por-
tion of the party, wuo stopped over
night at lUchmond.
1 must notforget to say thatthe green-
houses of L. A. Jennings at Newcastle,
under the management of Ben Heusley,
never looked so well, one house of Bride
and Bridesmaid being especially good.
Saturday morning bright and early the
Indianapolis, Kichmond and Newcastle
delegations made their appearance in
Cincinnati, and oh, what a day! Wm.
Murphy took them in tow and the home
of Adonis was visited, and later the
carnation exhibit in the club rooms.
Flowers were here from nearly all quar-
ters. Some of the exhibits did not arrive
until Sunday morning; these were Ward's
Governor Koosevelt and Dillon's Queen
Louise, both of which were in splendid
condition, and atthis writing (March 11)
are still in fine shape.
Wittersttptter's collection comprised
Enquirer, Opal, Mrs. T. W. Lawson,
Elinore, Estelle, TJS A, and a collection
of seedlings. He took the prizes for the
best vase of seedlings, any color, with
Enquirer; for best dark pink, 25 blooms,
witu Mrs. Lawson; and, with Enquirer
for the second time, won the Evans ven-
tilator. W. K. Partridge had the larg-
est exhibit there, including Glacier, Mrs.
George M. Bradt, Chicago, The Mar-
quis, White Cloud, Flora Hill, Mary
Wood, Genevieve Lord, Ethel Crocker,
Estelle, Leslie Paul, G. H. Crane, America,
Jubilee, Daybreak, Morning Glory, Peru,
Mrs. Frances Joost and William Scott,
winning prizes as follows: Best separate
display; best 100 blooms, mixed com-
mercial varieties; 25 blooms, white, with
Glacier; 25 blooms, light pink, with
Morning Glory; 25 blooms, red, with
Chicago: 25 blooms, variegated, with
Mrs. Bradt. This was certainly a very
fine display of commercial sorts.
The prize for best vase of carnations,
any variety, 50 blooms, was won by H.
Weber & Sous.Oakland.Md., with Mrs. T.
W. Lawson. This was a very handsome
vase and attracted much attention.
Now come the seedlings. The first to
be scored was a new pink on the older of
Dorothy, and named Mrs. E. A. Nelson.
It scored as follows: Color 24, size 22,
stem 14,forml2V2, substance 9i/2,calyx5,
fragrance 41/2, total, 91'/^ poinis. It is
the property of E. A. Nelson, of Indian-
apolis, Ind. WltterstSPtter's No. 723 A
scored: Color 24, size 23, stem 14, form
lOMi, substance 7%,' calyx 3i/o, fragrance
3%, [total 86. Weber's Norway, color

Weber's Egypt, color 221/.. size 19, stem
14%, form 11, substance 9, calyx 4%,
fragrance 41/3, total 851/2.
This comprised all the seedlings entered
for a certiacate.
Mr. Kasmussen, of New Albany, Ind.,
had a tine commercial white on exhibi-
tion, called Hoosier Maid. Lorna, from
F. Uorner & Sons Co., arrived in poor
shape and couldnot be judged. This va-
riety, you all know, is a good one. G.
M. iNaumann, of Cleveland, also showed
some seedlings. Crabb & Hunter's Irene
was not so good as last year.
Thomas Jackson had a vase of callas
and some violet plants.
The American Kuse Co., Washington,
sent their new rose Ivory, the white
Golden Gate, which scored 83% points.
1 believe this to be a grand acquisition
to the rose family. The South Park
Floral Co. had a vase of Marquise de
Litta.
A lunch was served at the Gibson
House to the visitors.
President Wm. Bertermaun says mat-
ters are already shaping themselves lor
the grandest carnation show this world
has ever seen at Indianapolis in Febru-
ary, 1902.
It was the most enjoyable small meet-
ing we have ever had in Cincinnati, and
we hope to be honored soon again.

Hoosier Florists on a Tour.
On invitation of the New Castle Floral
Co. to the State Florists' Association of
Indiana, a party of 13 members on Fri-
day, March 8, visited the firm's establish-
ment at New Castle, Ind. They were met
by Meyer Heller and driven direct to the
greenhouses, where refreshments were
served. Already several Chicago pil-
grims and others were on baud, and as
the different trains arrived, many more
visitors were added, till by noon when
all sat down to dinner more than 40
were counted.
The time at the greenhouses was pleas-
antly spent viewing the many houses of
grand Bride, Bridesmaid and American
Beauty roses, also one house of the Mar-
quise de;Litta. This new rose is certainly
a great acquisition, and will have a
grand future. It wasremarked by almost
all present that they had never seen roses
so well grown, all being strong, healthy
and uniformly well budded, and the
flowers cut of excellent quality. It was
interesting to view the boiler room and
see Mr. Heller turn on the natural gas to
full force. By the way it roared, we
should think the talk of gas giving out is
not correct, but in cold weather it lets
down and many loads of wood and coal
had to help out the past Winier.
Outside, carpenters and teamsters were
busy getting the new addition in shape.
This will consist of ten houses, each 25 x
265; one house, 15 x 265, and one house
25 X 100 feet. In addition to the able
foreman, Milton Gruiler, the following
assistants are employed as florists: Gus
Wiedenhoft, James Nooack, H. F. Winter
and E. Bender. The members of the firm
are Myer Heller and Herbert Heller.
The following is a list of those attend-
ing this notable gathering: Anthony
Wlegand, Wm. Bllllngsley, Robert Mc
Keand, E. A. Nelson, Wm.G.Bertermann,
H.W.Keimau, Ed. J. Bertermann, Martin
Nelson, John (irande, Albin Schreiber,
John Hartje, Charles Volbrath,and Carl
Sonnenshmidt, of Indianapolis. Gunnar

Evans, E. G. Hill, and Fred Lemon, Kich-
mond; 0. A. Kieman, Connersville; J.S.
Stuart, Anderson; W.W.Coles, Kokomo;
W. Carnes, Aluncie; John G. Uelnl, Terre
Haute; C. E. Glllett, Lincoln, 111.;
George M. Garland, DesPlalnes, III.; Ed-
gar Sanders, E.C. Amling, Peter Weiland,
and Michael Barker, Chicago; John Lod-
der, Hamilton, Ohio; George Heinl, To-
ledo; Wm. Murphy, E. G. Glllett, and
George S. Bartlett, Cincinnati; George
W. Hall, Indianapolis, Ind.
The time until the different parties left
on their trains wasspentvery pleasantly
renewing old acquaintances, and getting
the younger material in touch with the
old experienced war horses.
A goodly number departed for Rich-
mond, intending to be present at the Cin-
cinnati carnation meeting on Saturday.
Under the leadership of Messrs E. G. Hill
and Fred Lemon, Hill & Co.'s extensive
establishment was looked through. Of
great interest was the long experimental
house of seedling, new and imported
roses. We can expectsomething unusual
the coming season. The seedling carna-
tions also showed someremarkable addi-
tions. New geraniums form an import-
ant stock, also Rex begonias and cannas.
Mr. Hill reports an extraordinary traile
all around. During the evening a few
hours were given over to enjoyment
under the the leadership of the ever-ready
John Evans; however, a good bowling
match could not be arranged. Come to
Indianapolis; we have bowling allej's
everywhere, and good ones.
Early .Saturday morning, in streaming
rain, the depot was reached just in time,
to depart for Cincinnati. A trip to Mr.
Witterstaetter's houses was a delightful
intermission. .Some of the seedlings
there showed careful work, and there is
no question but what Richard will fulfill
his promise in saying that at Indianapo-
lis, he will show a vase of carnation
flowers, the likeof which has never before
been seen. Adonis is a grand scarlet. En-
quirer was as large as ever. Some beau-
tiful crimson seedlings are very promis-
ing, and the scarlets — well, just wait.
The noon hour was spent as the guests
of the club. In the afternoon the carna-
tion show at the Cincinnati Florists' So-
ciety's rooms was visited. The display
was an excellent one. It was arranged
on three long tables, and the impression
left on our whole delegation will be a
lasting one. Mr. Partridge's and Mr. Wit-
terstietter's exhibits were excellent. E.
A. Nelson's pink seedling scored very
high, and we are glad of it, as it deserves
a place among thebestcommercial varie-
ties. No doubt your able correspondent
in Cincinnati will send you all particulars
of the great occasion.
At 6 o'clock all theflorists present were
invited to a spread at the Gibson House.
At 8:30 p. m., after the tables were
cleared away in the club rooms, the
monthly meeting of the Florists' Club
was opened. Most of the visitors were
called on for a talk and responded with a
will. George Heinl of Toledo winding up
with three cheers for the splendid way
the visitors had been treated by the Cin-
cinnati boys.
Jottings.
We had a great time, but what a tired
lot of fellows tramped through the rain
to catch their trains at midnight Sun-
day.
What should we have done without
John Evans and hisold and new stories?
Wm. Murphy as club president is all
right. Try and get the boys more to- .
gether and don't forget to bring them all
to Indianapolis in November, as well as
to the carnation convention.
New Castle, Ind., will soon be known
as a cut-flower home. The location of
the town is good, and the soil must be
" the thing."
.Some of the old boys, Anthony Wle-
gand, John Lodder, Edgar Sanders and
Jacob Schultz,are getting younger every
day.
The Jabez Elliott Flower MarketinCln-

don' t seem to like it. Why? W. B.

Madison, N. J. — Four of Charles E.
(-'ook's greenhouses were destroyed by
fire on the morning of March 7.
Berlin, N. J. — Brief mention was
made in last week's issue of the destruc-
tive flre at G. J. Hughes' place here. Mr.
Hughes informs us that the origin of the
fire is unknown. He has lost almost all
of his stock, all his books, accounts, or-
ders, etc. The entire loss will amount to
$4,000. The blow is a severe one to Mr.
Hughes, who had all his money invested
in his place. His neighbors are doing
everything in their power to assist him
to a start again, and he will greatl.y ap-
preciate any help from his brother crafts-
men which they, ;in' the goodness of, their
heart9,;may see fit to render him.

Tra«le News.
The past week's trade was a great
one; I think I can safely say the best
week so far this year. The principal
work was for funerals, keeping the florists
busy for several days and nights. The
dentil of Senator C. I^. Mageecaueed more
funeral work to be given into the hands
of the florists than any event in recent
years. Floral tributes found their way
to the bier of the dead statesman and
philanthropist from the newsboy to the
banker and manufacturer. Between five
and ten thousand dollars were spent for
flowers for this funeral. Stock wasabun-
dant. Bulbous flowers are coming in
very heavily which has resulted in lower-
ing prices. Roses and carnations hold
their own. Violets are cheap and in good
demand.
- Here and There.
Mrs. E. Williams, of theSouthSide,
intends to open another store shortly,
located on Penn Avenue, right in the
shopping district.
Visitors the past week were: Ernest
Ashley, representing Henry A. Ureer, of
Philadelphia, and Henr.v Dryer, repre-
senting Frank Netschert, of New York.

Wintry "Weather.
We have had the worst week of all
Winter; it has been below zero, followed
by a snow and sleet blizzard, then a
thaw, with rain, sleet and freezing, cov-
ering everything with ice. Business has
been fitful and as changeable as the
weather. When busy, it has been at iu-
tervals and in chunks, everybody get-
ting in their orders at once. Carnations
are scarce. Some nave plenty of roses;
others are buying, being kept short by
funeral work and shipping orders. On
an average, business is good. It is Lent,
true, but flowers are not accumulating
much.
Interest is now centering in lilies. Will
they be in in time or not? It looks as if
they will be; at least two-thirds of all
plants in blossom, but most of them are
inclined to be short. The taller ones will
go for cut flowers, the short for pot
plants.
A. L. Vaughan was a recent visitor.
Hesays^the number of sales in money
value this year exceed those of last year
by 20 per cent. G. F. C.

James C. Murray has secured the con-
' tract to supply grass seeds for the park
system of this city.
The cut flower trade is fairly good,
funeral work creating the largest de-
mand. Murray is cutting some excellent
roses and carnations, also A'on Sion nar-
cissus, tulips and other bulbous flowers.
Cole Bros, report a heav.y trade in
funeral work and have a quantity of

Trade Report.
BuBiness ise-xceedlngly good. There
IB an over-eupply or violets, and the.v are
sold at most any price, being retailed the
past week as low as 50c. and flOc. per
100. The supply of roses is about equal
to the demand and of good quality.
Good carnations are hard to get. Tulips
of all colors are selling exceptionally well
this season, while the call (or daffodils
seems to have diminished somewhat.
Azaleas are the principal decorative
plant seen in the florists' windows. Some
very good specimens are to be had; they
find ready sale at from $1 to $5 each.
Club Meeting:.
The annual meeting of the Florists'
Club, Tuesday evening, was held in the
club's new rooms in the gas company's
building and was well attended. The fol-
lowing officers tor the ensuing year were
elected: President.T. .I.McRonald; vice-
president, W. W. Hunt; secretary, J. F.
Coombs; treasurer, Theo. Wirth; board
of trustees, the ofBeers with George S.
Oeborn, John Coombs and J. F. Hues.
George S. Osborn showed Mrs. Bradt,
Mrs. LawBon, The Marquis and Red
Bradtcarnations. These blooms were all
finely grown, some of them measuring
from 3 to 3% Inches across. The.v were
b.v tar the liest carnations seen around
here this season. Mr. Osborn gave a
most interesting talk as to the best
growers, the best sellers, and the most
profitable varieties to grow. J. F. Uuss
spoke on orchids and other flowers.
Votes of thanks were extended to the
speakers.
There Is some talk among the members
of forming a bowling team, but owing
to the lateness of the season it is not
thought there will be much bowling done
until next season, unless to get in a few
practice games. J. F. C.
Newport, R. I.
Society Meeting.
At the regular meeting of the New-
port (R I.) Horticultural Society, held on
Wednesday evening, March 6, John K. M.
I>. Farquhar.of Boston, delivered a most
interesting lecture on China before a
good-sized audience, made up entirely of
the members and their families, it being
" Ladies' Night," the tirst of Its kind
given by the society. Quite a number of
the fair sex was present, together with
the .young folks, and all had a good time.
President Richard Gardner was in the
chair and introduced the ppeaker,who at
once took up his subject, bringing before
the eyes of his hearers, b.v the use of tlie
stereopticon, some excellent views of the
landscape, buildings, harbors and phip-
ping. also some of the principal aciicul-
tural and horticultural products. Among
the latter were some plants rarel.v seen
outside of greenhouses. For instanre.
there was shown a bed of fancy-leaved
caladiums which wereplanted where they
were full.v exposed to sun and wind, a
picture of health and luxuriance. Behind
them was a large bed of crotons, varie-
ties which the speaker said are common
in this countr.v, also doing finely and
with a leather.v texture of leaf not ob-
tained under our methods of cultivation,
and an arbor covered with lapagerias
and dipladenias.
Among the trees shown, none was
more striking than what is linown to us
as the silk oak Grevlllea robusta; an
avenue of these was very fine. Large
specimens of Araucaria excelsa were
thrown on (he screen. These were not in
good form, being one-sided; hut a noble
snecimen of that rarer species, Arauca-
ria Rulei.was seen.
Many of the types of gardening were
shown, and while they differ in style
from ours, vet they nffered much skill in
arrangement.
Mr. Farquhar is a strong believer in
the " open-door" pollcv in China, and ex-
pressed his belief thattliat plan, if carried
out, will be for the best interests of not
onl.v China's millions, but also of the
world.
The usual votes of thanks were passed
to the speaker, also to .lames Farquhar,
who manipulated the stereopticon, afttr
which songs and recitations were given
by Augustus H. Swan, William Dick and
John Mason, and speeches by others.
ThelOntertainment Commit tee served a
bountiriil supply '>f refreshments, and
taken altogether It was one of the most
entertaining ani harmonious meetings
in the history of the societ.v. Mac. |

Trade Not»8.
Ill the cut-tlower line stock is more
pleutitul, with trade but naturally mod-
erate and values weakening. A com-
parative noticeable feature now with a
few years afto is the absence of bulb-
grown flowers in such quantities and
offered at beggarly prices. Scarcely any
special low-priced offering of blooms of
any kind has been thus far noticed. With
some it may be a moot question as to
which conditions are best for the inter-
ests of the craft.
As regards finel.v grown flowers that
can lay claim to quality, it seems hard to
exceed or match the steady cut produced
by Palmer & Son, at their Lancaster
houses. liarney Myers, the manager of
the establishment, last week took in the
Toronto carnation display, incidentally
thinking some well-grown blooms of The
Maniuis were good enough to take along
for the show. He brought back the
"Hallam" cup, being, as we understand,
the highest award on 25 blooms of any
kind. The cup is of silver, of liberal size,
appropriately inscribed and nowadays
is an attractive and drawing card in the
Palmer window.
At the Botanical Garden.
J. F. Cowell, director of the South
Park Conservatories, is on an absence of
Borne weeks in a searching trip for good
things, botanical and floral, in the West
Indies. His assistant, Mr. Fitzgerald,
ably takes his place in the professor's
absence. Just now one of the connecting
houses is richly bright with amaryllis in
good variety, some most handsome.
This display is supplemented by a fine lot
of la'lias in flower. More modest, per-
haps, but truly fine cyclamen are grown
in small pots, only 4.inch, but show
grand flowers.
The fern house now shows a pretty
walled effect in what might be termed
lycopodium linings. Some foliage plants
include Panax fllicifolia and VIctorlEB.
Entertaining the Executive Committee.
The S. A. F. Executive Committee
received the cheering news of the acqui-
sition of a national charter before leav-
ing us on Wednesday of last week, and
further lightening their hearts at parting
with our zero atmosphere. Under rhat
condition, after the close of their duties
on Wednesday, they bravely tramped
over the Pan-American grounds, under
Superintendent Scott's leadership, even
to the very corners of the coming .Mid-
way. As with every one else, they ad-
mired and became stanch friends of the
enterprise. Later we led them to our
practicing alleys, the build of which we
boast about. Bettersuores wereeredited
to the strangers than we anticipated.
They got the strikes. The Buffalo man,
in fact, that did not gain an object lesson
In bowling must be a stupid. J. F. Sul-
livan showed a muscle roll most success-
ful of results. E. M. Wood displayed a
slow, creeping method, almost mysteri-
ous in Its deviations and strike endings.
Ward got some gutters, but strikes, too.
Wlttersta^tter gave us an exhibition of
curved movements that would hardly
score a point with carnation stems, but
here 'twas the thing. President O'Mara
rolls with the same system that charac-
terizes his other good acts. Wallace
started In shy, but later showed a be-
coming and telling boldness without
mannerisms. The urbane smile on Car
mody's features at his many strikes was
cheering. Secretary Stewart apparently
Is better posted on some other matters
than tenpins, but still has youth in his
favor.
Some of the visitors tarried over to
Thursday, when a group of them visited
Palmer & Son's place at Lancaster. A.
B. Cartledge was reeuforced by the
arrival of his business partner, Mr. Pen-
nock, the pair departing Chicago-ward
on Thursday.
B. Eschner,of Philadelphia, was a caller
on Friday of last week. Vim.

Trade News.
Business Is quiet. The warmer
weather Is bringing flowers along pretty
fast, and It is said that there was never
a more congested market on bulbous
stock and violets. Roses of all kinds are
abundant and prices have fallen. The
best American Beauty make $.5 per dozen.
Bride and Bridesmaid, too, are in over-
stock and move slowly, though the
former meet with quite a little demand,
especially the smaller grades, for use In
funeral work. Extra grades now make
*12.50 per 100, No. 1 going at $8 and
^10. Mrs. Plerpont Morgan, Meteor and
Liberty with short stems are plentiful at
f 3 to $4 per 100.
A few very good Liberty with good
stem and flower bring J12.50 and $16
per 100.
Carnations hold up pretty well In price,
ordinary grade making $1.50 to $2 per
100, while best grades of common varie-
ties go at $2.50 and fancies at $3 to $4,
the latter figure for choicest stock.
Von Sion narcissus are selling very low,
many going at 75c. to $1 per 100;
Princeps make$1.50 to $2; Golden .Spur
$n and Uorsfleldii $4 per 100. Single
tulips are in good supply at $1.50 to
.$2.50, while the double varieties sell at
$3 to $i per 100.
Lilies are now very plentiful and the
demand Is hardly heavy enough to clean
up the daily supply, l^rlces range from
$6 to $8 per 100. A limited supply of
extra quality novelties brings $2 per 100.
Lily of the Valley is in abundant supply
and moves slowly at $2 to $4.
A'liolets are very druggy and low prices
prevail.
Mr. Mcl-'arland, of North Easton, is now
cutting a tew Ulrich Brunner roses, also
Souvenir du President Carnot.
Norrls F. Comley Is bringing In very
fine lilac.
News Jottings.
Carl Jurgens and his son, of New-
port, R. I., were In town Wednesday.
The Spring exhibition of the Massa-
chusetts Hortcultural Society will be
held on Tuesday of next week, lasting
four davs, 19th, 20th, 2l8t, and 22d.
This will be last regular exhibition in the
old building, though the smaller Satur-
day shows will he held there until May
1, when the building will be vacated.
P. Welch, of Welch Bros., has leased the
property formerly owned by Herman
Lipps at Bedford, .Mass., which was ad-
vertised In these columns two or three
wteks ago, to Mr. Brazier, of Arlington,
Mass., for a term of three years.
Welch Bros, will have about Ave thou-
sand pots of longiflorums of the best
quality for sale this season. They have
introduced a special crate, which they
have had built for shipping these plants.
Each crate holds 18 plants securely, and
insures tlieir safe arrival at destination.
In express and freight charges, too, there
Is quite a saving, as the box rate only is
charged, which is much less than would
be the case without the crate.
Tim Waters, George A. Sutherland's
traveling man, has returned from a trip
through Maine, New Hampshire and Ver-
mont, and reports very successful sales
both on lily plants and cut flowers for
the Easter trade.
The Gardeners and Florists' Club met
Tuesday evening, at Horticultural Hall,
President Ewell in the chair, 32 members
being present. Several amendments to
the constitution came before the meeting.
It was decided to hold six meetings a

state of Trade.
The flower market remains inja de-
pressed eonditiou. .Choice Btock^ only
moves, and a sacriflce is the rule. Prices
are atvay down. What with shipping
trade, which is' still good, the retail de-
mand and the peddler, an enormous
ijiiautity of flowers is sold at some price,
but the general average to the grower is
bound to be low. American Beauty, ex-
cepting shorts, are not particularly plen-
tiful. Tea roses, carnations, and above
all bulbous stock, are in abundance.
Daffodils have been sold as low as f 10
per 1000 and short roses at halt that
hgure. Violets are in a similar condi-
tion; in fact, prices on these flowers this
Winter have ruled low. L.lly ol the valley
growers complain bitterly of values re-
ceived. There seems to be no pressing de-
mand for this stock.
The windows of the retail stores look
Spring-like with hyacinths, tulips and
other bulbous flowers in pots, pans and
flats.
Horticultural Society.
The Executive Committee of this
society met March 11, the principal ob-
ject being an order passed to hold the
usual i'all show. Emil Buettner, John
Reardon and \V. J.Smyth wereappointed
a special committee to revise the premi-
um list, when it willat once be published.
The Auditorium will not be tried again
as a place of exhibition, the liigh rent
being against its selection.
A Trip to New Castle, Ind.
This modern Mecca for florists is
located 195 miles from Chicago. By spe-
cial invitation your correspondent jour-
neyed thither on the occasion of the
meeting of the Indiana State Florists'
Association there on Friday, March 8.
The Ueller Brothers, of the South Park
Floral Co., were our hosts, and right
royal ones they proved.
The Florists' Exchange was espe-
ciallly well represented by W. G. Berter-
mann, of Indianapolis, and E. G. Gillett,
of Cincinnati, who will give full particu-
lars of the doings of the crowd at Kich-
mond, Ind., and the latter city.
The firm started about six years ago
with a small place, and when the houses
now under construction are completed,
they will have well-nigh 200,000 feet of
glass, so that with the Keinberg-Weiland
and Benthey new places and that of L.
A. Jennings, already there. New Castle
will have almost half a million feet of
glass, largely devoted to roses and car-
nation growing for the Chicago market.
The flue growth of the roses at the South
Park Floral Co. proved thedrawingcard.
There is promise of big crops for Easter
At the Garland Fo undry.
We took a trip out to Des Plaines the
past week to see George M.Garland's new
foundry, and how he turned out the iron
gutters. A year ago at this time he had
two orders on hand; this year ten large
orders are on the books. He is turning
out 50 pieces of 300 feet each per day,
and finds it hard work to keep up with
the orders. The castings are now of a
very superior class and everything sent
out is ready tor setting up. The day of
our visit a car load was at the depot
bound lor the Reinberg-Weiland big new
plant at New Castle, Ind. The order for
F. F. Benthey Co. is also ready for ship-
ment to the same place.
At the old Garland homestead, now
run by S. Garland, there are several large
houses in violets; sash houses, with (i x
8 glass,8ome of the sash forty years old,
remnants of the old vegetable growing
days. Other houses are modern.
On Frank Garland's place are the first
Iron gutters made and have now been In
use ten years. Some 160,000 bulbs,
largely tulips, are forced here. They are
planted in trays and kept in an above-
ground storage house, being taken out
as wanted.
Still another brother, W. S. Garland,
has a modern gutterand iron post range
of houses, all in carnations. There is
not the slightest evidence of any injury
from drip through the use of these iron
gutters, except in a very humid atmos-
phere or in intense cold weather; but
even then no harm results. Large quan-
tities of carnations are grown by all the
brothers; in fact, Des Plaines is a great
carnation center, there being half a dozen
other growers there.
Jottings.
C. M. Dickinson, manager for E. H.
Hunt, left on the 10th for a trip to
Boston.

Poehlman Brothers are cutting some
fine lilies, and expect a big supply for
Easter.
E. C. Amling lias nearly completed a
new cold-storage room, ai feet long, 8
feet wide, and t) feet high. This, with his
8 X 12 room, should give him space
enough for a time at least.
Adolph H. Poehlmann will close his
wholesale store and combine his green-
house establishment with that of his
brothers, as of old, under the firm name
of Poehlmann Brothers.
Emil Buettner returned from Buffalo
in time to entertain J. Liddon Pennock
and A. B. Cartledge, of Philadelphia,
who were in the city desirous of seeing
the best retail stores here. Edward
Wilhelm Ortmann, managerof the flower
department of Daniels & Fisher, Denver;
C. B. Whitnall, Milwaukee, and H. Ber-
ning, St. Louis, Mo., were also visitors.
Ess.
St. Louis.
Trade Is Satisfactory.
Business among the wholesale men
has been quite satisfactory; they report
early clean sales except in tlie case of a
few things. Pink roses are a little plenti-
ful, and bulbous stock is too abundant
with no priee in it. The receipts of
violets are not quite so lieavy; the sea-
son here is on the wane. The best roses
bring (ic; carnations 2c. to Mi/jc. accord-
ing to quality. Violets realize $1.50 to
?2.50 per 1000. Not many Harrlsll lilies
are in the market and indications point
to a scarcity sure enough for Easter.
Von Sion narcissus are particularly over-
plentiful; they cannot be moved at all.
Plant trade in the market.s has begun
and a number of stands are to be seen in
Union Market, filled with very good
stock. Trade in that line seems pretty
fair.
Notes.
Ostertag Bros report a heavy sale
in large b^^coralive prepared palms to
May, Sterne & Co., SI Wabash Avenue,
(jhlcago, for the opi'Uing of their new
store. Over ^iOO specimens were used in
the job, besides eight large emblems, such
as horseshoes, etc, .made of fresh flowers.
The Ostertag 1)oys have a new team of
horses for some new delivery wagons,
and propose to buv still another team.

Zizania Aqualica Seed. — A recent de-
cision b.y the board ot general appraisers
is to the effect that the seed of Zizania
aqu"tica is not dutiable as "uncleaned
rice'' under paragraph 2.S2, tariff act ot
1897, nor is it dutiable under the provi-
sion in paragraph 2.'^4 for " seeds of all
kinds, not specially provided for," but is
free of dut.v under paragraph 6.56 as a
"grass seed" not specially provided for.
" America's Oltlest Seed House." — An
interesting pamphlet has just been issued
by the seed firm of David Landreth &
Sons, of Philadelphia, giving some infor-
mation regarding the history of the con-
cern and the period of service of several
of its employees. The I.,andreth nursery
and seed business was established in
Philadelphia in 178-t. Its founder was
David Landreth, born in 17.52 near Ber-
wick-on-Tweed,sonor a Northumberland
farmer who in England had applied
himself to the business of tree growing.
He emigrated to Canada in 1781, shortly
afterward removing to Philadelphia.
About 1786 he associated his brother
Cuthbert in the business of seed and tree
culture. The first place of business was
on High Street, the exact position now
being covered by the buildings 1210-
1212 Market Street, then a location well
out in the country. The various loca-
tions of the firm's labors are also given,
together with a " roll ot honor," the lat-
ter showing 85 workers with over 25
years of service. The records of the firm
show the names of over 200 old employ-
ees of less than 25 years' service and
over 15. The Landreth firm is one of the
32 commercial establishments of the
United States forming the association ot
centenary firms — flrma tor over one hun-
dred years continuously administered by
the direct descendants ot the founder.
European Notes.
We have now had two full weeks ot
mild and moist weather and can fairly
estimate the damage done by the Winter
frost. The first ot our plants to show
the effects are the early garden turnips.
Such useful varieties as the early .Strap-
leaved and early Red Top Globe are per-
ishing In very wholesale fashion. The
plants that are still standing look very
sickly and can only produce a very miser-
able crop at the best.
While the coarser varieties ot field tur-
nips are not dying off to the same extent,
the plants, particularl.v the yellow-fleshed
varieties, look anything but promising.
Rutabagas havetailed In manyinstances,
and it, as seems probable, the stocks on
hand are exhausted this season, there
will be a big shortage again next year.
As soon as the rain clears oft we shall
open our beet and mangel pits, and shall
soon know how far they have been pre-
served. The small plants left standing in
the seed beds will not be of very much
service.
It is hardly possible for us to judge the
prospects ot cabbages and other brassi-
cas for a few weeks, but we have given
up all hope ot an abundant crop, even of
the coarsest varieties, while highly devel-
oped strains are taring very badly indeed.
The plants of biennial and perennial
flower seed have also fared very
badl.y. Campanulas, Winter stocks and
wallflowers are very badly cut up. The
stock on hand of the two latter may
enable us to pull through.
Members of the seed trade who are in-
terested in the development of florists'
flowers from primitive forms should
acquaint themselves with the splendid
work now being carried on by J. Veitch
& Sons, Chelsea, in connection with the
Cineraria crueflta. By judicious cultiva-
tion and hybridizing they have produced
a strain with blooms more than double
the size ot the parent variety, while the
graceful habit and its floriferous proper-
ties are well preserved. The strain has
been named 0. polyantha and well de-
serves the name. Another strain, named
C. polyantha corapacta, is well described
b.v the title, but is not so pleasing, as the
plants are too rigid and formal, and the
size ot the flowers is notsuflicientl.v large
to atone for the fault. It is possible that
some new and attractive feature may
present itself later on.
The departmental committee appointed
by the British Board of Agriculture to
inquire into the conditions under which
agricultural seeds are sold in England
has now completed its report. The com-
mittee come to the conclusion that the
seed trade in England is, on the whole,
well conducted, and has ot late years im-
proved with the advance of science.
Some of the committee recommended
that a testing station should be provided
in the United Kingdom forthe purpose o(
testing the purity and germinating power
of seeds sent to it for official examina-
tion.
This report not only exonerates the
seed trade from the wicked charges made
against it In many cases by interested
parties who had their own selfish inter-
ests to serve, but if its recommendation
is adopted, also enables those who desire
to submit their seeds to an official analy-
sis to do it in their own country. At
the present time all samples have to be
sent to Switzerland for this purpose.
European Seeds.
Sweet Peas.
The Rev. W. T. Hutchins, in sweet pea
notes on page 952 of your contemporary,
unfortunately repeats a lapsus calami,
which occurred in the article on sweet
peas, prepared by me for The Florists'
Exchange and which I have since cor- '
rected. Kindly allow me to again correct
this error.
Burmann, in his Thesaurus Zeylanicus,
did not list two varieties of LathyruB
zeylanicus odoratus, but simply gave the
name of the sweet pea of Ceylon as
known by him, (nobis) and also as set
forth in the Herbarium of Hartog.
As regards the other matters men-
tioned by Mr. Hutchins, am I to under-
stand that he considers tbe advertising
pamphlet prepared at the suggestion ot,
not by, Gilbert Beale, as a more reliable
authority than Burmann or Linnaeus?
The letter ot Mr. Willis is Interesting,
but by no means conclusive.

Albany, N. Y.— The Assembly Com-
mittee on Agriculture on March 7 re-
ported favorably Mr. Phipps' bill to com-
pel the fumigation of all nursery stocli
offered for sale in this State, but amended
so that its provisions shall not apply to
any nurseries that have been pronounced
tree from San Josd scale by the .State De-
partment of Agriculture. Mr. Salyerds,
the Rochester member of the committee,
told the Post Express correspondent
this morning that the amendment re-
moved the opposition of the Kochester
nurserymen to the bill, as their nurseries
have all been given a clean bill of health
by the Department of .\gricuiture. It
will be recalled that last week Speaker
Nixon gave orders that the Phipps' bill
be killed because of the vigorous opposi-
tion by Rochester nurserymen, but the
bill will probably pass now.— Rochester
(N. Y.) Express.
Golden and Bronze Foliage Ever-
gi-eens. — Among the many evergreens
available for the planters' use are a few
with golden or bronze foliage, which are
greatly admired as lawn specimens. In
this class are some which florists have
found particularly useful for cutting to
be employed in *loral work, to enhance
its beauty. Many of these evergreens are
at their height of color in late Fall, the
colors intensifying with the coming of
cold weather. This is particularly true
of some biotas and retinosporas which
come a bronze or purplish color, as it
is, to some extent, of those which par-
take of a golden color. Of those in
the iatterclass.the bestof all with which
lam familiaristhe Douglas golden juni-
per, a spreading, bush.y grower, which
in early Winter is of a deep golden color,
surpassiug anything else in this line.
Then there are two retinosporas, R.
plumosa aurea and R. pisifera aurea,
both bright golden-colored when in the
full sun, as all the evergreens mentioned
should be to get a good color. Next
come two Arbor vitses, Thuja George
Peabody and T. Meehani, both golden-
tipped. The former is the most golden,
the latter carrying the color on the
extreme tips only. Cupressus Lawson-
iana lutesceus is of a beautiful yellow,
but it does not thrive well in all situa-
tions. Next comes the variety of golden
Chinese Arbor vita' known as A. aurea
nana; and it is beautiful and valuable.
Tliere are golden yews, golden box,
golden euonymus and other evergreens
of this color, but it would seem from
their not being called for that florists
cannot utilize tliem as they do the others.
The bronze-leaved section of evergreens
is found very useful in the same way.
Many evergreens change color completely
when the frosty nights come. The com-
mon golden Chinese .\rbor vit:B is a well-
known one, bqt it is surpassed by its
variety, Rollinson's Golden. It should be
remembered that the plants must be in
the sun; they will not take on the de-
sired bronze color in the shade. It is the
sun and the cold air together that seem
esHential. These two sorts are excellent
for cutting.
Tliere are several retinosporas which
turn to an almost purple color. R. Sie-
hrddi, for one, is particularly desirable.
When thrifty and In an open place, the
dark purplecoloris singularly attractive.
Others are It. leptoelada, which is almost
iron-colored, and R. ericoides, also very
dark. Andromeda Catesba"! and Ma-
' lionia aquifolla are broad-leaved ever-
greens which become bronze-colored.
The andromeda is particuiarlycharming,
as there is scarlet ml.xed with bronze In
its foliage. This is what is sent up from
the South at Christmas time under the
name of Leucothoi.' Catesbjpi, which is
n all.v its correct name, though many
lists have it under its well-known one,
' audromeda.

Shortage of Large Evergreens. —
From all parts of the country, but espe-
cially near all the large cities, comes the
same tale— no large evergreeens to be
had, even of the commonest kinds. Gar-
deners are scouring the country for large
ones for their employers' grounds, with
IndiEtereut success. Though there is no
doubt of a medium-sized tree doing bet-
ter in the long run than a very larire tree,
the man who has a new house, with
grounds bare of trees, naturally wants
specimens of good size, even if they do
stand still a while after transplanting.
Believing, as I have expressed myself be-
fore, that the present great demand for
nursery stock will not go on without a
break, I also have faith in the future of
the business, and would not hestitate to
set out stocli of all kinds. The seventy-
six millions of people of to-day will be
represented by as manymorein 50 years;
and every year from this on will add to
the list of wealthy people who will want
to beautify their grounds. To add to
this is the undoubted fact that there is
at the present time a highl.v Intelligent
body of gardeners in this countr.v who
al)ly help along their employers' desires
to improve their grounds.
Magnoli a grand iflora as a House
Plant.— In tlie catalogue of a Southern
nurseryman before me, speaking of the
great beauty of the Magnolia grandiflora
as a lawn tree, the statement is added,
that it also is an admirable house plant
when grown in a pot. This latter re-
mark J fully endorse, having used the
plant for this purpose, and found it a
very satisfactory one. Somebody at one
time wrote of it, that it was the equal of
the rubber plantlu this respect but many
may not think so. The magnolia has
not the dark green leaves of the flcus
which give it such a desirable character.
Its leaves are of a light green; in this
respect making a contrast to those of
the rubber.
Magnolia grandiflora is easily raised
from seeds if the seeds are not permitted
to dry out after they are gathered. They
are to be kept in slightly moist sand or
soil until early Spring and then sown in
boxes or pots in a greenhouse. Though
hardy, it is better to keep the young
plants growing Inside for a year or two.
The heat and moisture are what they
like, and they show it by making twice
the height in the same time that they
would outside. Wlien two to three feet
in lieight, they are valualile house plants.
I think florists, as well as nurserymen,
would find this a good selling plant to
have in stock, both for its beauty and
because it can be sold as a hardy ever-
green.
Speaking of its hard.v character leads
me to say that It is considered hardy in
ordinary situations from Philadelphia
southward, and In protected places
further north. On account of its foliage
being apt to suffer in high, cold winds
and from hot suns lu Winter, it is better
for some protection from these injurious
agents. But b.v protection is not meant
"coddling." A few branches of cedar
placed around it, or some boards, open
at the top, or some such slight protec-
tion is the best. To entirely box it or to
tie it up in burlap is worse than no pro-
tection at all, making tlie foliage tender
aod more liable to injury from freezing, in
m.v experience.
in addition to the advantage a cus-
tomer has of being able to set out a |iot
plant at any time, is the fact that this
magnolia is not transplanted without
some risk, even in Spring, which is con-
sidered the proper time, thougli experts
agree that this risk is greatl.v lessened if
the leaves are all cut oft at the time, or
all but one or two on the ends.

All retail florists admire
Robert Scoit rose and waLt it,
for there is no other rose of a
delicate Lalng - Luizet color
that will flower in November,
December and January. All
our cut of this rose has been
purchased by Mr. H. H. Battles,
of Philadelphia. The leading
rose growers indoise It. We

oelvt^d from prominent growers
who have seen it

NEW ROSE
ROBERT SCOTT
Produces a Sure Crop of Pink
Hybrid Roses for Christmas
SEEDLING f r om Mervellle de Lyon crossed with Belle Siebrecht,
retaining the size, form, color and growth of the Hybrid Perpetual,
with the everblooming qualities of the Tea Rose. This new rose
is practically an Everblooming Hybrid, and the first of a type that
will not only flower profusely during the spring and summer, but
will flower during the winter. It has no tendency to go dormant
during the winter, and every shoot has a flower bud. The habit
of growth is strong and vigorous, with bright green foliage. The buds are of
large size and are produced on stiff stems, with the heavy hybrid foliage almost
up to the bud, like its parent, Mervellle de Lyon. The open flower is of immense
size, very double, and is almost as beautiful as the half-expanded bud. The
color is new in everblooming roses, and Is only seen in the Hybrid Perpetual class.
Clear rosy pink, shading to flesh color on the outer petals. Robert Scott will
not only be a very welcome addition to our small list of forcing roses,
but is everybody's rose. Awarded honors wherever shown. Certifi-
cate of Merit and Silver Medal by Pennsylvania Horticultural So-
ciety. Preliminary Certificate of Merit by American. Rose Society.
Certificate of Merit in Ireland.
We have decided to propagate only a limited number of plants.
Intending planters should place their orders at once. We offer both
grafted and own root plants foi- March and April delivery.

The best rose of its class Introduced. The habit of
growth is very much like Perle des Jardins, and Is a
free and continuous bloomer. In close bud form it
shows the high brilliant colors seen only in the " Aus-
trian-Copper," scarlet and yellow. As it opens the color
deepens the scarlet turning darker red, the yellow to orange and copper, the inside
of petals golden yellow. The rose is large and perfectly double. A splendid novelty
for winter forcing. We have a good stock of both grafted and own root plants, and
offer them at a moderate price.

Easter Outlook.
We are uot complaining ol busi-
nesa, still at the same time we could do
more and prices miglit remain Btiffer.
The supply of roses and carnations now
is equal to the demand.
As the time draws near for Easter in-
quiries come as to offerings. Lilies will
be scarce, but there will be some on the
market at about 15c. each. Bulbous
stock will be plentiful, and ac. ,4c., and 5c.
will be the prices on most of it. Carna-
tions, as is usually the case, will not be
sufficient to go round. The prices will
be 2c., 3c., 4c., 5c., 6c., and 8c. Itoses
will range in price from 4c., Cc, 8c., to
10c. , according to quality. Violets will
sell at $1 per 100.
Jottings.
R. A. Betz has opened a room to
make wire designs at 113 East Third
Street, and as he has all of the patterns
of the late James Griffith, he will no
doubt do a good business.
Rosconi & Meyers is the name of the
firm running the Avondale Floral Bazar.
Mr. Meyers was for years in the employ
of Walter J. Gray. Rosconi is a bulb
merchantand is well known to the trade.
Our Parks.
In company with the park superin-
tendent, B. P.Critchell,the writer visited
the greenhouses at Eden Park on Wednes-
day last. The houses are in charge of
Wm. Turner, and are now being used as
such houses should be, that is, for grow-
ing bedding stock for planting In the
parks. Thousands of cannas are started;
geraniums, coleus and other necessary
bedding plants are grown, and every
nook and corner is taxed to its utmost
to store away the large quantities of
young plants. With the advent of good
weather this Spring, 1 think the citizens
of Cincinnati will see more fine beds of
flowers and carpet bedding than ever be-
fore has been seen in this city. It is the
intention of the superintendent to beau-
tify the small parks in the center ol the
city, thereby giving the poor people who
cannot afford street-car fare the pleasure
of seeing some of the beauties of nature.
Much grading and other improvements
in the park system are being carried out,
and we can now begin to see some of the
work that Park Superintendent Critchell
Is accomplishing. E. G. G.

We are now booking orders for June and July delivery for FINE STRONG PLANTS
from 2;-' inch pots, which can be grown into Handsome Specimens (as shown in
cut), in 6 inch pots, in full bloom for CHRISTMAS SALES
PRICE, FROM 2 1-2 INCH POTS, $15.00 Per 100; $140.00 Per 1000.
T'
'HIb most striking and useful plant has been more
largely grown the present season for Christmas sales
and decorative purposes than ever before. It has
taken its place as a staple florists' plant. Its magnificent
habit, combined with its extreme profusion of brilliant clear
pink flowers, stamps it as the most unique flowering plant
up to date. Thousands upon thousands have been grown
about the cities of Boston, New York and Philadelphia for
Easter and Christmas sales, selling at the highest prices.
It has been extensively used for table and other decorative
purposes, and when combined with Adiantum Farleyense
and cuneatum it produces a brilliant, delicate, chaste effect.
We grew some 4000 specimen plants at the Cottage Gardens,
and have for propagating purposes the finest and best-selected
stock of healthy plants in the United States. Growers of
this plant have made the mistake of growing it in too
much shade and in too intense a heat, so that when first
used as a decorative plant it suffered severely from the
changes in temperature. But under more rational growing
it will now take its proper place. We shall have a large
stock of plants for delivery during the months of May, June
and July, which is the most favorable season for shipping.

CLOTHILDE SOUPERT X ROSA RU60SA ALBA,
New Century
represents a new
and distinct race of
Hardy Ever-
blooming Roses. It is a strong, upright grower of
compact appearance, and is well furnished with
bright glossy green foliage. It is very hardy and we
believe it will stand the coldest temperature in this
country and southern Canada.
NEW CENTURY FLOWERS are large, full and
double, and delightfully fragrant. The color is a rich
carmine rose, with a bright red center, and the petals
are slightly bordered with creamy white.
3 in. plants, 40c. each ; $4.00 per doz.
4 in. plants, 75c. each ; $7.50 per doz.
2-year field plants, $1.00 each; $10.00 per doz.
PENNSYLVANIA
CANNA.
The color of Pennsylvania is bright crimson. The flowers
are enormous. It has larger spikes, and is decidedly the freest
blooming of the Orchid-flowering Cannas. The foliage is green
and very fine. We have eight other new varieties described in
our new price list. The set of nine for $4.00.

The object of this fund is to invest it
permanently, and use the interest derived
therefrom for premiums, etc. Some mem-
bers hold the opinion that it would be
better to subscribe a small amount each
year for this purpose, but this has been
tried and not found practical, as the
aniountreceived wastoounct^rlain. This
fund permanentl.v invested will add
strength to the society — help to keep the
members together and give a small
annual working fund each .ve.ar.
Subscriptions can be made in any
amount, from one dollar up. State the
amount you intend to subscribe at once
to your secretary and pay the same at
your convenience between now and De-
cember ir<. Give thisniatteryourearnest
consideration, and let us have the full
amount raised in this the first year of the
new century, and relieve your society of
the annoyance of always asking for
money.

What Was ArcoMi'i-isiiKU at the
Balti.moue Meeti.no.
Rendbefon^ tht^ FInrists'Cliib of Philudeliilif.i
hy Will. I'. Crnii;.
The trade papers have alread.y given
information more complete In its details
than [ could possibly give if I wished to he
at all decent in taxing your time and pa-
tience, so I will be very brief in stating
some personal impressions received and
opinions formed during the exhibition
and meeting at Baltimore. The first
notable impression made on me was the
large attendance of members, many of
them coming from a very long distance
to see what progress had been made
along the different lines since the exhibit
and convention of one year ago at Buf-
falo. I noticed that many of these gen-
tlemen were themostexperlenced andsuc-
eessftil carnation growers. and I thought
to myself, if these our " crack" men find
it necessary to come to these meetings to
learn, how can the men that are not
quite " up-to-date" and the novice In the
business possibly afford to stay awny?
You may read the advertisements of the
new carnations as carefully as you can,
and all that you can make out of them
is that each darling mentioned is the
" best ever," but if you go to the conven-
tion and size up, lor Instance, the three
greatly advertised white ones, you can
decide, as I did, that certainly some are
better than others. It would, I suppose,
be improper for me to condemn any va-
riety shown, but even if I did go that far
I would do no more than every grower
did on his own account at that meeting.
I am sure that every grower present did
decide in regard to some varieties exlub-
ited that he had better keep his coin in
his jeans; and, on the other hand, lie
mustconclude whereother varieties were
concerned that he could not afford to
keep his money and do without them.
Moral: Do not miss the opportunity of
judging for yourself.
Now, while I feel that I cannot, with
good grace, condemn any variet.y, par-
don me if I mention several which on
their appearance and on the testimony
of experienced and reliable men at the
meeting who have had opportunity to
see them growing, are likely to be profit-
able varieties, and ones in advance of ex-
isting similar sorts. And right here I
want to say that the chief ciiarm in the
annual meetings is the certainty that
each year there will be exhibited one or
more new ones that mark an advance.
This cannot be said, thus far, about any
species of flower, with the exception of
the chrysanthemum. In roses for the
last decade there has been absolutely no
advance. We are doing all our bnainess,
or mostly all, with the Bride, Bridesmaid
and the American Beauty. We have not
been able to raise a single seedling rose
worthy to enter and maintain itself in
the commercial arena. The Bride and
Bridesmaid are "sports" from Catherine
Mermet, a European variety, and the
Beauty is also of foreign origin. l)n
the other hand, the American carnation
leads the world. It may not be known
to all of you that a number of growers
in England and in Germany are extensive
buyers of the best new American carna-
tions, which haveaiready proven profita-
ble to growers on the other side. The
type of carnation grown In Europe does
not flower freei.v in Winter, as those of us
who have tried the foreign varieties on
this side can testify. In the line of palms,
too, it really seems impossible to get any
varieties equal in general good qualities
to the kentia, the areca, the phcenix and
the latanla. Collectors have for a quar-
ter of a century been sent, at much expen-
diture of money and labor, to the utter-
most partsof theearth,and havereturned
without being able to find any fit com-
panions for those palms I have named.
If the palm men should start a society
they could not have an interesting an-
nual meeting, because there would be lit-
tle new to show the commercial men.
There have been some new palms discov-
ered In the past 20 years, but none of
them combines the good qualities neces-
sary to secure for them any popular de-
mand. On the other hand, a journe.y
among the hybridizers of carnations will
reveal the fact that there are many new
valuable varieties ready to introduce as
soon as sutBcient stock can be propa-
gated. How the standard has advanced!
I can just recollect Grace Wilder, for man.y
years the leading pink variety. It was
famous 'u\ Its day, hut would have been
passed by unnoticed if exhibited at the
Baltimore show.
One gratifying feature of the meeting
was the donation of John W. Garrett,
Esq., of Baltimore, to be used as premi-
ums at the next meeting. We do not
think Mr. Garrett will regret this contri-
bution toward the uplifting of the car-
nation. The premiums will probably be
offered for new varieties and will doubt-
less do good work in helping to stimu-
late hybridizers.
M.y "opinion of sub-irrigation, formed
after careful consideration, is that as it
has been heretofore practiced it is of
doul)tful utility.
But I must not forget that I promised
to mention someof the particularly good
things at the Baltimore show. Perhaps
Mrs. Thomas W. Lawsou was the most
striking thing there; it was shown in
goodly numbers and certainly gave a
worthy account of itself. Mr. Fisher's
vase of 100 blooms which won the Law-
son g<dd medal against all comers was,
I think, finer than we have ever seen this
variety before. Let us congratulate Mr.
Lawson on his ability to pick a winner
and hope he may be as successful with
ills /Xmerican yacht next Summer.
Ethel ('rocker on our own place has
done well, fully as well as last year, and
we shall continue to grow it; but I re-
gret to Bay that many growers, particu-
larly on Long Island and in the Eastern
States,report that it is not satisfactory.
Some growers, like our ex-club member
at Koliorao, still consider it the "real
thing." Visitors to ourplace are invited
to particularly examine this variety and
judge for themselves. We think they will
agree that wecannot afford to discard it.
Dorothy, the pink variety which is
spoken of so highly, we also had an op-
portunity of seeing. It is said to be free
in bloom and was, as we saw it at Balti-
more, of good form and stem, but was
not of a pleasing color.
Another pink variety. The Marquis,
was exhibited in its usual good form.
This variety was, we were led to be-
lieve in the early Fail, going to be a dis-
appointment. I am glad to say such is
not the case. While it is true it came
into bloom a little late, it had hy Christ-
mas time proven that it was a good
thing, and will, I feel sure, be largely
grown next year.
Mr. Graham exhibited his seedling, Mrs.
Van Rensselaer, which is of very fine
form and iargeslze. It attracted consid-
erable attention.
Although Adonis reached the show
somewhat chilled, which blackened the
edges of thepetal8,it6ecured the Lawson
silver medal and was generally voted a
good thing.
Estelle has a brilliant, rich, brightcrim-
son color, suggesting that of the General
Jacqueminot rose. This has proven to
be a variety which our modest Dick Wit-
terstiBtter might have praised much more
freely than he did when he sent it out
last year. By common consent of every
one present it was voted a decided
acquisition.
Glacier is a beautiful white, which was
sent out, I think, two years ago, with
but slight recommendation. It is of very
fine form, and many there praised its
free-blooming and other good qualities.
It has, however, only a short stem, about
one foot in length, but plenty strong
enough to hold the bloom erect.
Among the crimsons we found two
new varieties in fine shape to claim our
attention. Egypt is a laige, fine flower,
of good form and most excellent stem.
Governor Roosevelt was very much ad-
mired as a crimson and was considered
generally a valuable acquisition.
Prosperity, which has been so often de-
scribed and commented on, wasexhibited,
but not in as grand form as I have here-
tofore seen it; nevertheless, as a fancy
carnation it ranks high. Dailledouze
Bros, also exhibited a blush seedling of
good size and fine form.
Among the varieties which aspired to
certificate honors were Cressbrook, a
fine pink; Dorothy Whitney and Harry
Fenn.
I cannot at this time refrain from say-
ing a word of praise on behalf of Mrs.
Frances Joost, a variety which I con-
sider really indispensable. It is of a most
pleasing and popular color and is more
prolific than any other carnation I have
ever grown.
Genevieve Lord, the valuable introduc-
tion of last year, Is indeed a fine variety.
It has but one fault that I have been able
to observe, and that is that it fades on
the outeredges of the petals. This fault,
however, is not general, as in many
places it shows no tendency to fade.
Now, in regard to what was accom-
plished at the meeting and exhibition In
Baltimore. The growers were very much
interested and edified. All were gratified
by the sustained and increasing interest
manifested in the work of the society, and
the public seemed to be even more inter-
ested than the growers. Never before
did I see such a jam at a flower show.
The crowd was so great that the doors
had to be closed many times during the
afternoon and evening, because the hall
simply could not hold the people. And,
by the way. the benches were just a little
too low. The crowd bruised the flowers
badly. I should say the benches should
have been at least 10 inches higher; the
effect would have been (pilte as good,
with greater safety for the flowers. It
would have been a good Idea if the ex-
hibitors had renewed their blooms, espe-
cially the novelties, after the first day,for
the benefit of late comers and the general
dignity of the show.
1 think an admission fee of 25 cents
should have been charged, and I hope
this will be done at Indianapolis next
year. I think If the society would agree
to give, sav, half of the net proceeds to
some worthy charity, a number of the
leading ladies of the town would gladly
act as patronesses, with a resulting large
attendance. The coming rose show at
the Waldorf-Astoria pronilsesin this way
to be n great event: and the admission
to that show is to be, on the first day, |
$5. I have no doubt the managers of
the show next year will take all these
and other needful matters into considera-
tion, and that even the visitors from a
distance will feel amply repaid for their
journe.y.
Mrs. Tliomas W. Lawson at Home.
Having been invited to accompany the
Garden Committee of the .Massachusetts
Horticultural Society on Thursday of
last week on the occasion of their visit
of inspection to Peter Fisher's establish-
ment at Ellis, Mass., the writer passefi a
very pleasant afternoon at the birth-
place of the famous Mrs. T. W. Lawson
carnation. Mr. Fisher entered in the
competition for the prizes offered by the
society for the best house of carnations.
The house entered is a new one, 151 x 24
feet, and was in excellent condition. It
is of modern construction, glazed with
16 X 24 glass. The plants were put in
12 inches by 15 inches apart, so that the
best of conditions prevailed for their
superior cultivation. The crop of buds
in evidence gave great promise for heav.y
cutting in the future, and it seemed posfi-
ble to cut seven or eight hundred that
day.
The other half of this bouse is planted
to liastern Star, a very prettily formed
white variety with fringed outer petals,
The Marquis, Mrs. George M. Bradt, and
The Maine, the latter a Ilawson seedling,
which originated with Mr. Fisher four
years ago. It is a white Vciriety of mod-
erate size, of good, strong growth, and
apparently a very free bloomer. During
midwinter this variety comes with a pink
tint which rather becomes it; but after
another month and until the first of De-
cember it is pure white.
The house of seedlings is very interest-
ing to visitors. It is here that much of
Mr. Fisher's labor is expended, and from
tlie appearance of a few of his creations
it looks as though such labor was very
profitably spent. The committee, and
in fact all the visitors, were very much
impressed by a few of the seedlings in ths
house, but No. 170 was considered by
most of the gentlemen present the best
thing in the house. The tiower is an im-
mense one, of the Daybreak siiade, aver-
aging 3' i to 3! I inches in diameter. It
is borne on a very long, wiry, and erect
stem. Some stems measured three feet in
length. This variety had Mrs. Lawson
and Mrs. George M. Bradt forits parents.
Another, No. 270, looked very well, the
flower resembling that of Prosperity
quite a little, though Mr. Fisher said the
coloring doesnot show much until about
the first of December. His handsome
while variety, Governor Wolcott,wa8ad-
mired by all, and a great future is pre-
dicted for it as a good commercial wliite
variety. It is in great demand in this
vicinity.
(Juite a strange thing was seen at the
end of a batch of G. H. Crane, viz., a
white carnation, which might be well
named " Mystery." It seems there were
88 plants of G. H. Crane which Mr.
Fisher received, aud which he supposed
were all of the same variety, as the.v
made up the count he had ordered; but
when the plants flowered he was quite
surprised to see a fine full white bloom,
on a long stem, on a plant equal, if not
superior, in strength of growth to G. H.
Crane. Some who have seen it say it Is
White Cloud, but there are as many more
experts who dispute this, although they
do not know what the variety is. Mr.
Fisher exhibited a vase of this sort at
the recent exhibition at the Boston
Flower Market, labeled, " What is it'.' "
Mr. and Mrs. Fisher entertained the
party at lunch, after which the various
cups and medals won by Mr. Fisher with
the Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson variet.y were
admired, the cup and gold medal cap-
tured at the recent exhibition of the
American (^arnation Society at Balti-
more Ijeing included. F. J. Norton.

Jolin A. Lambert has Hied a petition for
an Injunction with Judge Lumpkin
against F'rank E. Howald. W. H. Terrell
and John Nemo, asking that they be re-
strained forever from using the name
Lambert Floral Company. A. Lambert,
father of the petitioner, need to run the
business and after his death the peti-
tioner and others. Later .Mrs. Lambert
conducted the business, and she sold to
the parties against whom the injunction
is sought. The petition alleges that the
goodwill and not the name was sold.
John A. Lambert now wants to start a
business of his own and wants the otiiers
enjoined from using the Lambert name.
The case has been set for the 23d. — At-

American Carnation Society in Baltimore. It was awarded First Prize for best
100 blooms white; Lawson Bronze Medal for 12 best seedlings, also flrst-olass
Certificate of Merit. At the end of the second day not a flower had gone to .sleep.
Stock all sold until May 1st. Its quick vigorous growth will insure large plants

It is matchless In length and strength of stem, strong, vigorous growth and
exquisite spicy odor. In good flower by November. A most pleasing variety, well
worthy of a trial.
Above two varieties, $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100; $75.00 per 1000.
GENEVIEVE LORD.
Our Stoclt is Large and Extra Fine. Ready Now.
This grand variety demonstrated anew its great keeping qualities at the recent
show in Baltimore, being perfectly fresh at the end of the second day, without a
single sleepy flower in a vase of 100 blooms, while its beautiful color was almost
universally admired. We have never grown a pink carnation that returned as
much profit per square foot as Genevieve Lord.
$5.00 per 100; $40.00 per 1000.
We can also furnish all of the new ones of this year, the best of last year,
and the best standard varieties.

I Cbe nursery Crade Outlook |
I . . . . fr
The Florists' Exchange, desirous of
ascertaining opinions relative to the
outlook for the nursery trade, as well
as an expression of views on legisla-
tive matters for the benefit of its nur-
serymen readers and advertisers, ad-
dressed the subjoined questions to a
number of the leading nursery firms of
the country, and has pleasure in sub-
mitting the following responses. The
numbers of the answers correspond to
those of the questions:
1. What are the prospects of a good
Spring business for 1901?
2. Does it at the present time look as
if the supply of all kinds of nursery
stock will be equal to the demand?
3. What kinds of stock seem to be
the most called for?
4. Is as much stock Imported from
Europe as in former years?
5. Are the returns from the nursery
business as encouraging (in the way of
profits) as they have been in the past?
6. What, in your opinion, is the best
medium for making new business — the
press, catalogues, your own drummers
or the tree agent?
7. Do you find your Southern trade
increasing over that of former years?
S. Do you consider that the legisla-
tion in force with respect to the San
Jos§ scale has been beneficial, and if
so, to what extent?
9. Do you favor a national law bear-
ing on scale and other pest legisla-
tion, as against the various State laws
now in effect covering same?
W. F. Ileikes, Huntsville, Ala.:
1. Very encouraging.
2. Scarcity of cherries. Kieffer pears,
apples and native plums.
3. Apples, cherries, Kieffer pears,
plums, peaches.
4. Yes: very large this year.
5. Yes, at present; but no great dan-
ger of over-production.
6. All are needed.
7. Yes. 8. Y'es; the benefit is largely
educational; 9. Yes.
P. J. Berckmans Company, Augusta,
Ga.:
1. Better than they have been for
years.
2. The supply of many kinds of nur-
sery stock will be inadequate to the
demand, many kinds being already ex-
hausted.
3. Peaches, pecans, roses, Kieffer
pears, Amoor River privet, palms, dry
roots of cannas and fancy-leaved cal-
adium bulbs.
4. So far as we can ascertain, impor-
tation of European stock has fallen off
in the past year.
5. The demand for nursery stock Is
decidedly on the increase, but prices
in many cases are far too low. Much
cheap and inferior stock is put on the
market, which gives a tendency to
reduce values of first-class products.
Many buyers consider prices rather
than quality.
6. Not selling through either drum-
mers or tree agents; our catalogue
gives the best returns.
7. A most decided increase, estpeclal-
ly in ornamentals.
8. Most assuredly. The entomolog-
ical department has been in existence
a little over two years in this State, and
our entomologist, Prof. W. M. Scott, is
a most efficient, hard-working and
fearless officer, and he has been the
means of saving thousands of dollars
to the farmers and fruit growers of
Georgia. Several nurseries Infested
with San Jos6 scale have been cleaned
up entirely, their entire stock having
been burned; also, in several cases
where infested stock has been shipped
into the State, such stock has been con-
fiscated and burned, thus preventing a
new spread of the San Jos6 scale. Ac-
cording to the report of the entomolo-
gist the scale in this State is being
successfully fought and is on the de-
crease.
9. We favor most heartily the nation-
al law, as against the various State
laws as now in existence.
2. At present it looks as if the supply
of all kinds of nursery stock would not
lie equal to the demand, particularly
fruit and ornamental trees and some
varieties of shrubs.
3. The demand with us to date has
been largely for a general line of stock,
but mostly for fruit trees, although we
have booked some large orders for or-
namental trees, including shrubs and
quite a quantity of evergreens.
4. We do not think there is as much
stock imported from Europe as for-
merly, particularly so since the tariff
has been restored on nursery stock.
5. The returns from the nursery busi-
ness have not been as encouraging for
the past seven years as formerly, al-
4. Cannot say, as we do not import.
5. Yes.
6. Drummers and tree agents, to sell
to the consumers (i. e., the farmer or
planter) direct. Wholesale trade, the
trade Journals.
7. No; on the contrary. Southern-
grown nursery stock is brought North
in yearly increasing quantity, in com-
petition with stock grown there; they
of the South have a very great advan-
tage in cheap labor, cheap land and a
more favorable growing season and cli-
mate.
8. Yes: inspection by competent as-
sistants has caused a thorough clean-
ing up and destruction of much bad or
infected stock.
9. Yes; the laws ought to be uniform
in all States and then enforced.
W. C. Reed, Vincennes, Ind.
1. Good. 2. Heavy; apple and cherry
will be scarce.
3. Apple and peach.
4. Usual quality.
5. Returns very satisfactory.
Phoenix Nursery Company, Bloom-
ington. 111.
1. Prospects for Spring of 1901 seem
very good.
Gymnocladus Canadensis, in Fairmount Park, Philadelphia.
though the business is looking much
brighter.
6. We consider the press and our cat-
alogue the best methods of securing
business.
7. Our Southern trade has decreased
steadily for the past ten years.
8. We consider that legislation in
force and the scare of the San Josfe
scale brought about through the press
has been very detrimental to the nur-
sery business.
9. We favor a national law governing
the San Jos6 scale and other pests as
against the various State laws now in
effect.
Quincy Star Nurseries, Qulncy, 111.:
1. Fair to good; it is a little too early
to be definite.
2. Yes; more than enough; think some
will have to be carried over to next
season.
3. Fruit trees, especially apple, peach
■ and cherry, in order named.
6. Agents: press next. 7.
8. It has helped. 9. Yes.
H. M. Simpson & Sons' Knox Nur-
series. Vincennes, Ind.
1. Flattering. 2. It does not.
3. Cherry, peach and apple.
4. Cannot say. 5. Yes. 6. . 7. No.
8. The legislation in Indiana with re-
spect to the San Jos6 scale has been
very beneficial, chiefiy by preventing
the importation from other States of
stock which was infested. Unscrupu-
lous nurserymen made the State a
dumping ground before the law was
passed, and in that way distributed the
scale over the State. These places have
been almost cleaned up now, and the
State is practically free. The outlook
for 1901 is quite flattering, and we be-
lieve the fruit Industry is on the eve
of a new era. 9. Yes.
W. H. Kaufman, proprietor, Stratford,
Iowa.
The prospects for a good Spring busi-
ness never were better.
I think that there is enough stock of
all kinds to supply the demand unless
it may be Nos. 1 and 2 cherry and
probably grape vines, currants and No.
1 apple, for which there seems to be an
increased demand. All kinds of nur-
sery stock are higher in price than for
several years, and nurserymen are very
much encouraged, as they can now get
a living profit for their stock.
Mount Arbor Nurseries. E. S. Welch,
proprietor. Shenandoah, Iowa.
1. We have every reason to anticipate
a good business for the Spring of 1901.
There is a strong inquiry, and we have
booked orders for a larger amount of
stock than usual at this date.
2. We believe most lines of nursery
stock will be cleaned up closely, with
not enough stock of many varieties to
supply the demand.
3 With us, staple articles — apple,
cherry and American plum — are In
strongest demand. Peach is also sell-
ing well.
5. The returns from the nursery bus-
iness in the form of profits, in our
Judgment, should be better on the pres-
ent year's business than they have been
tor several years past.
6. As to the best medium for making
new business, it depends on the line
you are hustling for. If for wholesale
business, the sending of trade lists and
other advertising matter direct to those
engaged in the nursery business in
some form and advertising in the trade
journals; in fact, informing buyers
what you have to sell are the best
methods we have found for getting new
business. Personal solicitation is no
doubt an effective method, but must
necessarily be expensive.
7. There has been a gradual increase
of Southern trade with us during the
past few years.
8. We believe that In most respects
the legislation in force requiring in-
spection of nursery stock has been ben-
eficial, in that it has given planters rea-
sonable assurance of the freedom of
stock from injurious insects, and no
doubt has prevented the wide distribu-
tion of infested stock in some cases.
The various State laws should be of
material benefit to both the nursery-
man and orchardist. for, with the as-
sistance of trained entomologists
throughout the country, the San Jos6
scale and other injurious insects can
lie largely held in check.
9. I am in favor of a national law
governing the inspection of nursery
stock in lieu of the various State laws
covering same.
Hawkeye N.ursery and Fruit Farm,
A. Willis, Ottawa, Kan.
1. Very good.
2. So far as I am able to obtain in-
formation, I think good stock will be
cleaned up pretty close.
3. Perhaps cherries: grapes are also
pretty good property.
4. Could not answer very definitely,
but I think the importations this year
are larger than in some years past.
D. I think the returns the past year
far above the average.
6. Our own salesman. If you want
anything, so far as I have learned, the
best way to get It Is to send a man
after It.
7. Somewhat, but not very greatly.
8. Am not sure about the value of
legislation, but think it has done good.
I think a government law, if the law Is
good and properly enforced, would be
a real and lasting benefit. Local laws
don't always fit one with another. The
Intention is good, and anything to keep
the trade awake to the danger of laws
will be a benefit.
Flansburgh & Pelrson, Leslie, Mich.
1. Good. 2. Yes; In our line.
3. Small fruits; seed potatoes. 4. .
5. No.
6. The press and catalogue for us.
7. Yes.
8. Yes; to some extent. 9. Yes.
Sarcoxle Nurseries, Sarcoxle, Mo.
1. Good for those that have apple
and two-year cherry.
2. Outside of peach there Is a notice-
able scarcity of nursery stock of all
kinds, due. as we believe, to light de-
mands and low prices for the past eight
years.
3. Cherry and three-fourths caliper
apple and two-year-olds.
4. I cannot say, but doubt if there la

much Importation, owing to low prices
here in past.
6. It will require several years to re-
cover former losses.
6. Direct catalogue to intending pur-
chaser is, we find, the best.
7. Do not find as good Southern trade
as prior to 1893.
8. No. 9. Yes.
Toungers & Co., Geneva, Neb.
1. Bright. 2. No; American plum and
cherry will not.
3. Plum, apple and cherry. 4. No. 5.
Tes. 6. Catalogue. 7. Tes. 8. No. 9.
Yes.
Charles Black, Hightstown, N. J.
1. The prospects for the Spring of
1901 are not as good as those of the
past Spring, but much better than for
a few years prior to 1900.
2. I think that there is about enough
stock to meet the demand at the ad-
vanced prices. Some varieties will run
short, as is usually the case.
3. Apples and peaches seem to lead.
4. The importation of seedlings and
stock will be much greater than for
some time prior to 1900.
5. The business is much more pros-
perous and profitable than for several
years.
6. I am not prepared to answer this
intelligently, as I never have employed
either method extensively. I made my
business by advertising, and then
treating my patrons well, so that I hold
their trade.
7. The Southern trade is decreasing,
owing to the large development of this
business south of us.
8. In some respects the laws in regard
to San Jos6 scale have been beneficial
in making the nurserymen more dili-
gent in their efforts to keep it away,
so as to enable them to procure a cer-
tificate. Outside of this the law in our
State has had no effect, as it was about
impossible to enforce it. There is only
one safeguard, as far as nursery stock
is concerned, and that is fumigation,
and eventually all nurserymen will be
forced to do it as a matter of policy,
whether compelled to do so by legisla-
tion or not. If the dread of the scale
continues purchasers will not risk
planting unfumigated stock.
9. Any law or legislation in regard to
this matter should be national to be ef-
fective.
West Jersey Nursery Co., Bridgeton,
N. J.
1. Good. 2. No.
3. Cherry and apple scarce.
4. I think so.
5. Better than the past three or four
years.
6. We wholesale mostly.
7. About same. 8. Yes. 9. Yes.
T. S. Hubbard Company, Fredonia,
N. Y.
The prospect with us is very promis-
ing for a large business the coming
Spring, and it now looks as if the sup-
ply of nearly all kinds of nursery stock
we grow will be sold before the close of
the season. We are "grape vine spe-
cialists," although we grow and sell
large quantities of other small fruit
plants. As we do not handle a general
line of nursery stock, we are unable to
answer your question as to what kind
of stock is most in demand.
There is not, in our opinion, as much
stock imported from Europe as for-
merly.
The returns from the nursery busi-
ness are more encouraging than was
the case three or four years ago, and
at present a fair profit on the capital
invested may be expected if the lousi-
ness is carefully and economically
managed.
The best medium for making new
business depends on the kind of busi-
ness done, whether wholesale or retail.
Ours being wholesale, we depend on
the press, catalogues and personal cor-
respondence, employing neither drum-
mers nor agents.
The Southern trade has increased
rapidly during the past few years and
is still growing.
The legislation with respect to the
San Jos6 scale has been beneficial, and
as a result of the thorough inspection
for which it provides it is believed
there is not now a single nursery in the
State in which the scale can be found.
In our opinion, the same thorough in-
spection and destruction of infected
trees should be extended to orchards,
to protect the nurseries from infection
by Infested trees growing in their vi-
cinity.
We decidedly favor a national law
bearing on scale and other pest legis-
lation, and it should be uniform
throughout the United States, thereby
avoiding the conflicting and annoying
provisions of the various State laws.
Jackson & Perkins Co., Newark, N.
Y.
The prospects for business this
Spring are exceedingly good. We speak
only from the standpoint of whole-
sale dealers, as we have no retail trade
whatever; but, of course, the wholesale
business is in exact proportion to the
retail trade.
The supply of certain kinds of nur-
sery stock will be exceedingly short.
The articles which are in especially
short supply are cherries, Kieffer pear
and apples. Japanese plums are by no
means abundant, either.
The kinds of stock most used run
about the same as in previous seasons.
Wo ought also to have said that some
varieties of peaches are exceedingly
scarce — notably Elberta. The sale that
this variety has had for the past four
or five years has been simply marvel-
ous. There are also some other few
kinds of peaches that seem to have
been picked up very closely already.
We do not think that there has been
nearly so much stock imported from
Europe as there was before the present
tariff laws went into effect. The duty
upon roses of 2^c. is well nigh prohib-
itory. The duties upon fruit tree
stocks of $1, plus 15 per cent, ad valo-
rem, upon pear, quince and apple
stocks, and 50c. per thousand, plus 15
per cent, ad valorem, upon cherry and
plum seedlings, has, we think, lessened
the plantings of these articles in this
country to a considerable extent. In
most of the other lines of nursery
stock commonly imported from Europe
we do not think that the duties have
lessened the importations to any great
extent, for they are mostly varieties
which cannot be profitably grown in
this country.
We are inclined to think that the re-
turns from retail nursery business are
somewhat less profitable than in for-
mer years, simply because of the
greater competition now to be met.
As to the best medium for securing
new business, our experience in the
wholesale trade is very strongly in
favor of circulars. We find that we
can make much more extensive sales
and at much less cost by this means
than through any other.
The Southern trade with us has in-
creased more or less every year, but is
not yet any very important feature.
Without doubt the legislation now
enforced with respect to the San
Jos6 scale has been very beneficial, for
without the very careful and conscien-
tious inspections which have been
made by the State officials the scale
undoubtedly would have spread to a
far greater extent.
A national law, with ample provis-
ions for more, thorough inspection,
would without doubt be far more bene-
ficial and desirable than so many and
so varied State laws. It seems to us
that national legislation upon this sub-
ject is becoming exceedingly necessary,
for nearly every State has different leg-
islation upon the subject, and it re-
quires no little care and study to keep
oneself posted sufficiently to fulfill the
various requirements in all instances.

S. Yes; cleaner stock is shipped.
9. National legislation.
John Charlton & Sons, Rochester,
N. Y.
As money seems to be a little easier,
orders are not quite so hard to obtain,
and as demand and supply are more
nearly balanced, we think that by the
time the Spring season closes our line
of goods will have had its share of
business.
While there are some items quite
scarce, we think the retail nurserymen
have governed themselves accordingly,
and only pushed the sale on such items
as are readily obtainable.
There seems to be a shortage on
cherry trees; the reaction seems to
have struck the fruit trees, and they
seem to sell more readily than in the
past two or three seasons and at an
advanced price.
Nurserymen are Importing very
largely from Europe on everything.
with the exception of apple stocks,
which are now produced in the West
satisfactorily. With the increased de-
mand, we would say that the importa-
tions were increased accordingly.
The tree agent is the way for the re-
tailer to sell his goods, but in the
wholesale trade the best results are ob-
tained through the press and cata-
logues.
We have never done much Southern
business.
There are so many conflicting laws in
regard to the San Jose scale that we do
not seem to have made great headway,
and we would welcome a national law.
Goods can be sent into this State with-
out a certificate, but one is required
for goods to go from here into other
States. Last Spring a car of apple
trees came here from Pennsylvania
without a certificate. These were ex-
amined by an inspector, condemned,
dumped out of the car and destroyed.
W. & T. Smith Company, Geneva,
N. Y.
The prospects for Spring business are
excellent.
The supply of stock is quite limited,
particularly in apples and cherries, and
quite generally in most other lines.
Lighter grades will be sold to some ex-
tent, and the rise in prices will keep
some planters from buying this season;
otherwise there would be a great short-
age.
For the past two years returns have
been fairly satisfactory, but taking the
average of years, profits have not been
in proportion to the capital and effort
expended.
As to the best medium of making
new business, the press, catalogue and
tree agents; all three are good and nec-
essary. Too little help and encourage-
ment are given the tree agent. It is an
honorable calling, and the tree agent
disposes of a very large proportion of
nursery stock which would not other-
wise find a market. I believe also that
the stock delivered by agents can gen-
erally be relied upon, and is of as good,
or better, grade than much sent out
from catalogue orders.
Legislation with respect to the San
JosS scale was necessary, and our pres-
ent law in New York State providing
for the inspection of nurseries is a help-
ful one. It is absolutely necessary that
nurserymen should keep on the lookout
and be sure that their nurseries are
free from the pest. "Eternal vigilance
is the price of liberty." Too much has,
however, been published regarding the
San JosS scale, and the public is be-
coming frightened unnecessarily. Our
State laws now in force are sufficient,
together with the co-operation of the
nurserymen, to protect the planters
from any extensive spread of the pest.
A national law would very much sim-
plify, for nurserymen, the conditions
now prevailing, by making regulations
identical in all the States, and would
constitute an added safeguard, as some
States now have no laws, and others
only imperfect ones, with respect to in-
sect pests.
J. Van Lindley Nursery Co., Pomona,
N. C.
1. The bulk of our business Is done in
the Fall, though we do considerable
shipping in the Spring, especially
North and West. Our trade in peach
trees North this Spring is better than
last Spring.
2. We do not think the supply of
nursery stock of all kinds will meet the
demand. Cherry stock is about ex-
hausted now, so far as we can see, and
we do not think there is as much sur-
plus peach and plum as a year ago.
3. The principal demand with us is
for apples, peaches, pears and plums.
4. We cannot answer this question in-
telligently, as we are not large import-
ers. As for ourselves, we are import-
ing more than formerly.
5. The returns from the nursery busi-
ness for the last two years have been
satisfactory — better than at any time
since 1890.
6. We sell quite largely by catalogue,
advertise in the press to a limited ex-
tent, and sell a great many trees
through agents.
7. The trade in the South is fairly
good, and in some lines is better than
in former years.
8. Of course such legislation as Is in
force has done good. The laws that
have been passed and enforced have
put the people to thinking, and there-
fore they have read up on diseases and
know more about them than they used
to. It at least helps to check tbe spread
of scale, and we are sure that had
not this State had restrictive laws sev-
eral years ago the scale would have
been widespread throughout the State
by this time. As it is, it has been kept
pretty well down.
9. We favor State laws.
The Albaugh Nursery and Orchard
Co., Phoneton, Ohio.
1. Good. 2. No.
3. Cherry, apple and peach.
4. No. 6. Better.
6. Our drummers.
7. Yes. 8. Uncertain. 9. Yes.
V
E. M. Beuchly, Greenville, Ohio.
1. Prospects are good for an active
trade the coming Spring.
2. Most kinds of stock will be pretty
well cleaned up, especially Kieffer peaj,
apple and cherry.
3. Cherries and ornamentals, such as
roses, seem to take the lead.
4. We are not in position to answer
this question.
5. While wholesale prices have ad-
vanced, we find it no trouble to get in-
creased retail prices to more than cover
the difference of trade rates; so we
think the outlook rather encouraging.
6. We are having best success by
sending our own personal solicitors af-
ter our business.
7. I am not making any effort to gain
Southern trade.
8. Legislation on San JosS scale has
been beneficial, inasmuch as it has
been an awakener and an educator, and
also by keeping the scale in check so
as to decrease its dissemination. We
have little confidence in ever getting
rid of the scale entirely, but we must
be on the warpath in order to keep
even with it, and we ought, in some
way, to educate the people to know this
pest when they see it. I recently found,
in a city of 80.000 population, nobody
who knew anything about this scale
when it was so bad that some trees
were entirely dead from the effects o£
scale.
9. I favor uniform regulations in the
laws affecting San Jos6 scale. If this
could be done with State laws, all right;
but if not, I think a uniform national
law would be preferable, it being em-
barrassing to the nurseryman at pres-
ent to ship stock into other States when
each one has different regulations.
The Storrs & Harrison Co., Paines-
ville, Ohio.
1. We think the prospect for Spring
business fully as good as it has been
in the past seven years.
2. The supply in most things will be
fully up to the demand, but there will
be a shortage in some things, and es-
pecially in some varieties, as there
nearly always is.
3. The inquiry appears to be about
equally divided between the fruit and
the ornamental department, but per-
haps the call for shrubbery is on the
gain.
4. We are inclined to the belief that
the importations from Europe are on
the increase as a whole, although the
present tariff has had a wholesome re-
straint on the importation of special
items — roses, for instance.
6. We have seen times in the past
when the profits from the nursery busi-
ness were much greater than at the
present time, but they are better now
than they were from 1893 to 1899.
6. There is nothing like personal ap-
plication in drumming up trade, but the
press and catalogues are factors that it
would be folly to ignore. Still one _
might advertise forever and not reach '
many that the tree agent will; so it is
necessary to employ both to obtain

8. Yes; we think that the scale leg-
islation of the various States has been
decidedly beneficial in making both
nurserymen and planters more careful
both as regards this and other insects;
still it has not been an unmixed bene-
fit either to the fruit grower or nur-
seryman, as the great fuss that has
been made over it has frightened for-
eign nations so that both fruit and
nursery stock in some cases have been
barred out. People are finding out that
it is simply another pest added that
must be taken into account by both
nurserymen and fruit growers.
9. We would favor a national law
bearing on scales and other insects-

that required trees, etc., to be exam-

Gymnocladus Canadensis,
Kentucky .Coffee Tree.
{See Illustration page 397.)
The visitor to a nursery in quest of a
tree for sbade rarely selects the Kentucky
coffee tree, tiymuocladus canadensis, un-
less he listens to the advice of the experi-
enced nurseryman, in which ease he may
change bis mind as to the value of the tree.
The prospective customer usually visits
a nureer.v when trees are bare of foliage,
and at such times he is to be excus;?d for
tbiuklng this tree of no use to him. A
fairly well-proportioned tree will present
Itself, but one absolutely bare of twigs,
as the term is understood. There are
long, strong limbs, not close together,
and not at all suggestive of affording
much shade. But let the same person see
the tree when its beautiful foliage is ex-
panded, and he would be satisfied not
only on the score of ample shade, but
also on that of beauty. The cause of the
great transformation is found in this
tree's very large compound leaves. Think
of a leaf two to three feet long and over
18 inches wide, and a good idea of what
these leaves do in the way of shade may
be gained. Why, one of them is almost
sufHcient to shade a person! The leaves
are much divided, so that in all the tree
affords suSicieut shade, without being
as dense as many maples would be. Just
what it looks like may be gathered from
the illustration, which is of a tree close
to Horticultural Hall, Fairmount Park,
Philadelphia. 1 consider it one of the
most ornamental of trees, and am pleased
to add that its great merits are well
known to the most of our prominent
planters.
As th«i tree attains some size before
flowering, many persons have never
seen the blossoms, though they appear
almost every season. But as they are
ol a greenish white color they are not
apt to be noticed, though produced in
fairly large panicles in the month of
June, and there is as well a delicate per-
fume to them at th^ir height of expand-
ing. Following the flowers are very large
seed pods, containing hard, bony seeds of
a dull black color. These seed pods are
no nuisance, as honey locust pods are by
dropping from the tree all Winter, but they
hang on and ornament the tree until
Spring, when they drop.
In Its native places, which are found
mainly In the Southwestern States, the
Kentucky coffee tree forms a very large
specimen, .50 to 60 feet high, as it does
also in cultivation.
As may be inferred, this tree belongs to
the leguminous family, and is not far re-
moved in its alliance from the i.oney lo-
cust. Judas tree, acacia, cladrastis and
aimllar trees.
The illustration well represents the
tree's .Summer character, and study of it
will suggest i Is iiro[ier position on a lawn.
It is a tree capable of fitting into many
a position. It belongs more to the up-
right section of trees than to those of
rounded outline, and could be placed In
the background of plantings where those
of lesser height are to front it. As seen
by itself on an extensive lawn, there Is
something In its outline reminding one
of the growth of a hickory. While hav-
ing the height, it has not the spread of
an oak. Josepb Mgeban,
The Climbing Roses.
Little need be said by way of introduc-
tion to the "queen of flowers." Eoses
are always popular, and it is a pleasant
fact that some of them are genuine climb-
ers. Van Dyke, in his artistic Introduc-
tion to Nature, writes that "The wild
rose — the common wild rose — growing
along the woodland road unseen by the
farmer's bo.v and the Summer tourist
(there are exceptions In the case of the
former), is a vision of loveliness beyond
all description. How many times it has
led poets to prove the poverty of lan-
guage! With the dew uponitin theearly
morning, it is the fairest, purest growth
in all the floral world." Of the native
species, the leading one of the clim'blng
In Colorado, Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Of the latter region, Professor Goff writes :
" Last Winter destroyed nearly all roses,
exceptthe Russian Rosa nigona Thunb.''
A climber with the nigofia blood intro-
duced Into It may bring a hardiness of
great value. In Washington, Professor
Balmer writes that climbing roses upon
the west side of the Cascade Range
"grow to the tops of two-story houses,
and all other roses are a great success In
that moist climate, while upon the east
side they do not thrive • * * All freeze
within a toot of the ground * * » owing
to the unripe condition of the wood.
• * • It is a case of too short a season."
For the tar South and Pacific Coast the
roses are among the most successful of
climbers. In a recent talk with a Florl-

type is the prairie rose (Rosa setigera
Michx), found generally In the central or
prairie region of our country. From It
have sprung someof thecholcestof climb-
lugrosesasthe " Baltimore Belle," "Prai-
rie Belle," " Queen of the Prairie," and
later the "Crimson Rambler." They
grow rapidly, will reach to great height,
propagate freel.v, present a satisfactory
foliage, and when In bloom the attrac-
tiveness of the vines is complete. In the
illustration is shown a si)eclmen of Rosa.

And yet roses are not at home In all
parts of the country. In reply to the
quer.v, " Do climbing rosesprove of value
for piazza screens?" there Is a " No" for
such states as Vermont, North Dakota
and Wyoming, They neeij to be covered
dian. It was gathered that the Mnrechal
NIel, when budded upon the Cherokee
rose (Rosa I.-pvi/xata Michx), climbs vig-
orously and blooms almost couBtantly.
Professor Rolfe writes for the same state
that " the Marechal Niel does so well and
Is so beautiful that it has no rivals." Of
the extent to %vhich climbing roses are
used in California many are familiar, for
they reach to the tops of the houses and
bloom perpetually in many of the most
congenial regions of that wonderfully
diversllied state.
In New Jersey there need be no lack of
climbing roses, and when trained with
honevsuckle and clematis they give a
satisfactory effect to the porch through-
out the whole growing season. Think
of a Crimson Rambler, as It may be easily
produced alongsldeot almostany piazza.
For the less favored regions combina-
tions of blood might be made between
hardy and other sorts resulting In the
production of highly-prized hybrids. —

San Jose Scale Legfislation.
Under date March 6th, 1901, Fred. W.
Kelsey, of New York, addressed the fol-
lowing communication to the Assembly
Committee of Agriculture at Albany, N.
Y.
Permit me to add to the expressions
of objection that have already been made
to you against the passage of the bill
making It obligatory to fumigate all
nursery stock before shipment. The ad-
vocates of this measure appear to have
overlooked two very important consid-
erations.
1st, that the transmission of the San
Jos6 scale Is by no means conflned to
nursery stock, but is disseminated In va-
rious other ways, including the transmis-
sion of the pest in fruit itself.
; 2d, that many of the ablest entomol-
ogists pronounce the stoppage of this
dissemination Impossible, and that the
results need not prove specially disas-
trous it proper care be exercised by those
interested in fruit culture.
The first proposition indicates clearly
enough the Injustice of the proposed bill,
advocated by one ciaee — the fruit grow-
ers, at the expense and detriment of the
other class — the nurserymen; if the bill is
correct in principle it should be made to
apply to both classes. In other words,
It comes with very poor grace for one
very dark kettle to call the other black.
The passage of such a measure would be
class legislation pure and simple, and, as
was so ably presented by representatives
of the Association of Nurserymen at a
recent hearing, would cause great loss
and injury to the nursery interest, a
very important interest of the State.
We have only to recall the excitement
and panic that have been caused by the
advent of many of the injurious insects
to realize that history Is merely repeat-
ing itself In the attempt to remedy Irre-
medial causes and effects by legislation.
There are over-zealous scientists, with a
large contingent of well-intentioned lay
men and other sincere people, who see in
the advent of every new species of de-
structive bug or fungous insect immediate
or prospective destruction of a large
part of the vegetable portion of the uni-
verse. From the locusts of ancient Egypt
down to the phylloxera, the potato bug,
the pear blight, peach yellows, and last,
but not least, the San Joefi scale — some-
thing must be done by legislation, and
that quickly, or all will be lost.
Not one of the dire predictions has
ever materialized, and we find to-day
that many who have given the subject of
the San Jos6 scale the most attention
have modified their fears of widespread
evil to the conviction that the "scale
scare is a bugaboo" that will be readily
controlled by natural and local causes,
as has been the experience from time Im-
memorial with all this class of Insect
pests.
Regarding the second proposition
above mentioned, no more convincing
statementcan bemade than that recently
given out l)y that able and practical sci-
entist. Prof. John B. Smith, State Ento-
mologist of New Jersey, who says:
"Where the San Jos^ scale is worst,
success In checking It Is greatest, because
the growers are alive to the necessity for
active operations. Crude petroleum as a
Winter application will prove the most
successful insecticide. The mechanical
mixture of kerosene and water. 10 to 15
per cent, kerosene, answers fierlectly for
Summer treatment. The damage is lo-
cally a serious matter, and has cost some
orchardists a few hundred trees, but there
is nothing that has affected the total fruit
crop. There is no prospect whatever of
extermination, but every Indication that
control will be complete.sothatnone but
the mao who Is unfit to grow fruit will
he hurt."
Here is a dlrectanswer from an authori-
tative source of unquestioned competency
and Integrity, who refutes In the most
direct and convincing manner the claim
of the adovcates of the fumigation bill
and those asking for special conBldera-
tion at the hands of the Leglslature.even
were the legislation desired not inimi-
cal to other Important interests of the
State.
What can follow, and undoubtedly will
follow, without the aid of special class
legislation. Is the application to this
problem of the great principle of self-re-
liance and self-preservation by Individu-
als whose interests are affected, and with
whom the only effectual remedy for all
these Insect evils wlU hereafter, as here-
tofore, remain.

A BORDER AT TWIN OAKS
WASHINGTON, D. C. ^jtjtj*^
The illastrations Bhown herewith give
a very good idea of the planting of the sub-
tropical borderaround thepond at Twin
Oaks.WaBhington, D. C, and by the aid
of the accompanying plan any one can
reproduce a lilie effect. The pond is al-
most surrounded by trees which give ad-,
mirabie protection from heavy wind
storms, and we rarely have the banana
leaves torn to shreds, as we so often see
elsewhere. On the southeast of the pond
are some large oaks and tulip poplars^
which afford a desirable shade for some
of the plants that would not do well in
the sun, especially tree ferns and their
allies. We have found very few plants
that will not succeed in just such a bor-
der, for we have all sorts of nooks and
corners to suit the individual wants of
each.
I firmly believe that there is a great
of downward, as in the more common C.
esculentum( Elephant's Ear), which grows
to a height of 6 feet, with leaves -i feet
by 2 feet 6 inches. Alocasia javanicum is
one of the most desirable of thecaladium
family. The leaves are from 2 to 2 feet 6
inches, and with a beautiful violet-
metallic luster, which makes it one of the
moat attractive plants. It grows 5 feet
in height.
Another one which lacks the luster In
the leaves of the former, but makes up
for it by having the most beautiful o'
violet-colored stems, is A. violacea. In
other respects it is similar to A. javani-
cum. Another beautiful one is A. macro-
rhiza variegata, the leaf of which is
green mottled and blotched with white.
We give this latter variety a partially
shady position.
Four musasthat we find very desirable
Seed of this nicotiana must be scarce, as
1 have got seed from different firms said
to be N. coioBsea, but which turned out
nothing but the common red-flowered
variety. This always proves very disap-
pointing, as one cannot be distinguished
from the other until both have made
some large leaves, and then it is too late
to make the change.
Caltbea zebrina we tried out the past
season in a shady position, and we are
more than satisfied with Its behavior.
The leaves are nearly 3 feet long,with a
beautiful combination of velvety green
barred with greenish-purple, the under
side being purplish-green. It makes a
beautiful plant. Bambusa aurea gives a
light feathery contrast that I think very
agreeable. Another plant which we es-
teem for the saraepurpose is Eulalia gra-
cillima univittata. It makes a fine sub-
ject for theedgeof the pond, with its long
narrow leaves drooping nearly to the
water. Its narrow foliage has a white
stripe running up the center. It is the
finest of the eulalias, but should never be
planted in groups, for then it loses its
beauty of form. Erianthus Ravennre
forms a noble clump, especially when in
flower. Its spikes run up to the height
We use It just at the edge of the water,
with its roots partly submerged.
We utilize a large number of the various
cannas in the front rows, according to
the height of the plants. Wherever we
can place them without crowding, they
are the plants that we depend on for
foliage effect. One of the very best can-
nas is Mrs. Kate Gray, a tall grower,
with flowers of largest size that stand
the sun well.
Of solanums we use two that we ad-
mire very much. S. Warscewiczii grows
to the height of nine feet, and has beauti-
ful divided leaves, 18 inches in width.
S. robustum grows four feet high, form-
ing a nice compact plant. The leaves
are not so much cut up as are those of
the former.
For water lilies we have a general col-
lection of hardy and tender ones. The
best four hardy kinds are Nymphseaalba
candidissima, with large pure white flow-
ers; N. Marliacea rosea is the best pink;
in yellows, N. Marliacea chromatella;
rosy carmine, N. odorata Luciana. This
latter is one of the most beautiful of
nymphfpas, free-flowering and very frag-
rant. Those four, planted in quantities,
will give flowers from the flrst of the
season until quite late.
Of nelumbinms thereis only one we can
recommend for florists' use, viz.: N.Shiro-
man. This is the only nelumbium that
has behaved well with us when grown
for cut flowers. It is a good grower,
flowers freely, and is nearly double. The
blooms are of a creamy white color.

future for such work as is here shown, and
which ought to receive more attention
from florists and gardeners who are in a
position to make such displays. All of
the plants used are easily wintered, and
most of them improve with age. Every-
thing is left out until we get a good frost
(sufficient to blacken the leaves); then
we go over the border and cut away all
leaves, lift each plant to be saved, shak-
ing oft all the soil from the roots and
putting the plants In the smallest size
pot or box into which we can get them.
We place the plants in a house where we
can keep them alive, but not to grow
much, as If allowed much heat they would
soon get so large as to prove an ''ele-
phant" on one's hands. Cannas we lift
and store lu the ordinary way.
Musa ensete is one of our most trop-
ical, and by far the best plant to use for
this work. It is a noble plant, easily
raised from seed, and in three years will
make a subject about 10 feet in height.
The one seen in the picture to the left of
the house is 15 feet in helght,with leaves
10 feet long and 2 feet wide. Colocasia
odorata Is another fine plant, with leaves
2 feet 6 Inches by 3 feet 6 inches,
and grows to a height of 10 feet. The
leaves of this colocasia point up instead
are M. sapientum, which grows to a
height of 12feet. Every Summerwe have
one or more of these plants in flower or
fruit, which makes it very interesting to
visitors. M. Dacca is a much smaller
plant, and therefore can be used well to
the front of the border. M. zebrina has
dark green leaves, blotched with purplish
bronze; it is a very beautiful plant. A
fit companiontotheformeris M. vlttata;
Its leaf is green, beautifully striped and
blotched with white. This is one of the
very finest of variegated plants. Mon-
stera dellciosa is another interesting
plant that thrives excellently planted
out. Its large perforated leaves are
always of interest to visitors. Maranta
Porteana is a nice plant for the front
row, growing 3 feet high, having green
leaves, striped white. KIcinus zanzibar-
ensis, growing 15 feet, with leaves 3 feet
from point to point, is just the plant for
the back row, where its handsome leaves
can be seen above the lower growth In
front. NIcotlaua colossea well deserves
the name, for it is certainly colossal,
growing 9 feet high, its leaves 2 feet 6
inches by 15 inches wide, clothed to the
ground. It forms a picture in Itself. It
can be raised from seed or cuttings taken
in the Fall and carried over until Spring.
of 10 feet, and are nearly equal to those
of the pampas grass. The plant is quite
hardy.
Arundo donax is another good subject,
growing to a height of 20 feet, and con-
trasting nicely with the heavier foliage
in front.
Among cannas, we like C. Ehemanni
for its height and large leaves. It grows
10 feet high, and produces drooping
flowers of a beautiful deep pink. C. gi-
ganteum grows eight feet high, has dark
leaves of large size, and Is used to form a
background for the more showy ones in
front. C. robustum is also used in a man-
ner similar to the preceding, being almost
Identical with it, except in the leaves,
which are green. Those two cannas we
use to fill up the back of the border,
where we need masses of leaves more
than fiowers, as the flowers on both are
of the smallest, and look Insignificant
alongside those of their more showy sis-
ters. The plants give us leaves larger
than any of the showy varieties, and in
subtropical work we want to get large
leaves, even at the expense of flowers.
Aralia papyrifera is another good
plant. It grows from thrpe to four feet.
The leaves are cordate, and from five to
seven lobed. Both foliage and stem are
covered with a whitish down. Papyrus
antiquorum is another plant always of
interest. It grows tenfeethigh,and need
in large clumps makes a beautiful effect.
Among tender day-fiowering lilies,
Nympha>a zanzibarensis, deep blue, still
stands at the head of its class. N. zanzi-
barensis rosea is in all respects, except
color, a counterpart of the type; it is of
a beautiful shade of deep rose.
N. gracilis is the only day flowering
white variet.v In commerce. It is a very
free-flowering nymphsea and quite de-
sirable.
But the night-blooming lilies are the
most useful of all, opening from 7 o'clock
on — just in time for dinners and recep-
tions. And the flowers certainly make a
beautiful display. The colors range from
white, through all shades of pink, to
nearly red. Nymphtea dentata is the
best white on the market. The flowers
measure from 9 to 12 inches in diameter
and are borne on strong stems. N.
O'Marana is still at the head of the pink
kinds, and always does well. N. devoni- •
ensis has rosy-red flowers, and is one of
the very freest bloomers we have. Those
three one can plant with the utmost con-
fidence. We find a pond or tank 2 feet 6
inches in depth just the right size for the
different varieties, and wherever prac-
ticable would strongly recommend them
to be planted in the bottom, as they will
give less trouble to the grower than if
planted in boxes. In recommending 2
feet 6 Inches as the proper depth, I don't
mean to say the lilies won't grow in less
water; hut In shallow pondsthe fluctua-
tion In temperature is greater than In
deeper water, hence the advantage of the
greater depth, which once heated will
keep warm very much longer than the
more shallow ponds.

Aquaticulture.
We have from time to time noted the
development of different branches of hor-
ticulture, and how much has been accom-
plished by specialists in certain lines. In
the Fall of 1895 Henry A. Dreer (Inc.),
of Philadelphia, undertook the cultlva
tion of aquatics as a specialty, with Wm_
Tricker in charge of this department. In
1896 we gave an illustration of the
ponds at the Dreer nurseries on the occa-
sion of the gardeners' picnic at Riverton,
N. J. These ponds consisted of ten each,
about 14 X 60 feet, which were then con-
sidered ample. The next year more land
was reclaimed, additional ponds made
and planted, also a large area planted
with Iris Ksempferi and a number of
Japanese bamboos. The following year
witnessed the grandestsigbt of Japanese
iris in flower ever seen at these nurseries.
Besides the ponds lor hardy water lilies,
there was also a pond for the Victorias
and tender water lilies, about 75 x lOO
feet. Suffice it to say that the enterprise
proved a complete success even during
the general depression of business
throughout the country at this period.
What has followed during the past three
or four years is well known to many of
our readers, and many have been eye-
witnesses of the superb collection of na-
tive and e.xotic nymphiPas and aquatic
plants at these celebrated nurseries.
Many new varieties have been raised
and disseminated from this emporium,
and every year witnesses new additions
in this special line. Last year some new
and choice novelties, hardy nymphicas,
strictly American production, were
offered tor the first time. These under
the prevailing climatic conditions of New
Jersey surpass the French hybrids, which
have gained a world-wide reputation.
This season is no exception to the rule.
The firm's new calendar contains a num-
ber of new varieties, both American and
French, offered tor the first time. The
superb variety N. James Brydon, which
was awarded a silver medal by the Mas-
sachusetts Horticultural Society, the
highest honor ever bestowed on a seed-
llg nymphipa, takes the lead among nov-
elties. Numerous illustrations of many
kinds of nvmphieas, nelumblums, etc.,
individual flowers and growing plants,
adorn the pages of the catalogue. The
pictures are made from photographs
taken at the nurseries.
The popularity of aquatic plants is be-
coming universal, and they are now dis-
tributed from these nurseries to all parts
of the world. So extensive has the for-
eign industry become that this enterpris-
ing firm has issued a catalogue of aqua-
tics and American-grown seeds, plants
and bulbs, quoting prices in sterling
money, all goods delivered free to the
purchaser's address. The prices include
all charges for packing, boxes, ocean
freight, and cost of carriage between Liv-
erpool and customer's address in any
part of Great Britain or Ireland. This
is certainly a new departure.
It has also been found necessary to add
more ponds to the already large number,
the original low meadow laud having all
been utilized two years ago. A plot of
about three acres of swampy ground is
being reclaimed, ponds are being dug and
will be planted in Spring. Another sec-
tion will be devoted to Japanese iris, and
a large stretch of ground bordering the
swamp is being cleared and will be
planted with rhododendrons, azaleas
and such like plants.
Tender nym[)h.i'as keep pace with the
hardy varieties and new additions are
annually made to the list. The nym-
ph.-eas are mostly propagated during the
Summer months, and as fast as the
plants arrive at maturity they are rip-
ened off and the tubers stored away until
wanted in Spring for shipping purposes
and for Summer flowering plants. At
the present time not less than 3,000 tu-
bers are on hand for the ensuing season,
and as many more plants will be needed.

have chosen only such as I am familiar
with and know to be excellent bedders.
Many geraniums that appear well under
glass make a very poor showing when
planted out. I am of the opinion that
the strong growers are usually the ones
best adapted for this purpose, or the ones
that show the most vigor in growth
rather than those which show great
abundance of bloom under glass. In
looking over our stock before planting
out in the Spring, I have often noticed
that some of the best bedders show the
least bloom, so that it will be seen that
at least a season's trial outside is neces-
sary before determining whether a gera-
nium is a suitable bedder or not. I also
believe that where the best results are to
be obtained the plants should be grown
with the idea in mind that they are to be
used for bedding purposes, and not rely
too much on the strong natural resources
of the plants to bring them into proper
condition outside.
The geranium is perhaps the most satis-
that in order to have satisfactory results
in this climate, one must give them dur-
ing the Summer nearly as much atten-
tion for a much less amount of bloom.
It has been my experience that cuttings
taken from geraniums in the Fall and
rooted will make much stronger plants
and more desirable for bedding purposes
than if grownfrom cuttingsmade during
the Winter months. Fall rooted ones,
after being kept in a dry condition, can
be started along in February and by bed-
ding-out time are strong, thrifty plants,
while those propagated in the Winterare
inclined to be weaker and smaller, owing
to InsuSicienttime to develop. Toomuch
watering in Summer time, I believe, is
often the cause of plants rotting off or
producing a small quantity of bloom.
Geraniums can stand a great amount of
drought without injury to them and pro-
duce the most flowers when in a some-
what dry condition. Over-watering
causes some to grow rank, while others
rot oB altogether.
I would not advocate setting plants
too far apart, as this causes them to
grow uneven, on account of having too
much light. For ordinary Spring grown
plants I think 14 inches is about the
right distance. This is not so wide apart

factory plant known to florists, because
it is so easily propagated and requires so
little attention. For this reason we re-
gard it as one of the commonest of
plants, though many of our parks and
private gardens would And it a hard
matter to procure a substitute for this
old-time standby. The extensive use of
herbaceous and perennial plants in con-
nection with the natural style of land-
scape gardening now so popular in this
country has done much to reduce the
numbers of geraniums used. The plant-
ing of these plants in connection with a
landscape is considered bad form, it being
claimed that their bright colors do not
harmonize with quiet and restful views;
therefore the landscape gardener has
confined them to Isolated places apart
from the landscape view. Ilowevcrthls
may be, I believe that the geranium and
many others of our most beautiful culti-
vated plants willcontlnue to be favoi-ites
with many persons after the fad of sub-
stituting liardy plants is n thing of the
past. The period of bloom witli most
lierhaceous plants is usually not longer
than a month or so, while witii culti-
vated ones such as geraniums, agera-
tums, heliotropes. etc., they are in flower
from May 21 to October 21, or until cut
down by the frost. I ilo not wish to give
the idea that I am not In favor of herba-
ceous plants, for lam; but I do maintain
but what the plants can grow together
in a short time, when they will continue
to make a uniform bed all Summer. Fre-
quent stirring of the soil is always bene-
ficial, but to avoid over watering seems
to me to be the principal point to be
bornein mind in thecareof plants bedded
outdoors.
I have selected the following varieties
as being among the best and most relia-
ble bedding geraniums, at least in this
climate at the present time. There are
perhaps many varieties known to others
at this time equally as good, but not
having had experience with these 1 am
therefore unable to give any accurate in-
formation regarding them:
Double Varieties. — .S. A. Nutt. Of
all geraniums, both doul)Ie and single, I
think this one is the finest. We are asked
the name of this variety many times dur-
ing the .Summer. Tliere must be some-
thing about its color and habit tliat at-
tracts one, and, licsides. it has such a
strong constitution. Mme. A. Chevre-

eral Grant, a very old scarlet variety,
but one that is extremely useful; Mrs. E.

and Mme. Salleroi.
Many new varieties have recently been
introduced, even more, I think, than there
has been any demand for. Of course, one
is always anxious to try new varieties,
but a wise person will hesitate before dis-
carding tlie old, tried ones tor those that
he has not given a thorough trial. And,
again, those that do well in one locality
are sometimes of little use in others.
Among the new geraniums there are sev-
eral that 1 have seen which I believe have
special merit and which I am going to
try next Summer. They are as follows:
Le Soleil, double red, lighter than S. A.

Mme. Landry, semi-doulile salmon; John
P. Cleary, single red; Due de Montmort,
double, nearly purple; Frauces Perkins,
double pink; Countess de Castris, pink;
Jeanne Viaud, semi-double pink; Clyde,
single scarlet; Ian McLaren, light sal-
mon pink, and Mme. J. Cebril, single pink
salmon.
Saving of Space and Other Bene-
fits of the Iron Gutter
and Iron Posts.
Read before the Chicago Florists' Club Febru-
ary 1 by George M. Garland, Des Plaiaes,
jn.
The ordinary method of greenhouse
construction has been so thoroughly dis-
cussed by Mr. Carmody and others that
there remains but little to be said on
that subject, but owing to the inability
of a great many to understand the ad-
vantages of the method advocated by
myself, it gives me pleasure to address
you this evening, confining myself to per-
manent construction by the use of iron
gutters and posts.
The post and gutter are the founda-
tion of the house, and also the vital part
thereof; therefore care should be taken
to supply a foundation that will not rot
out in about one-third the time the house
would otlierwise last. In my life experi-
ence in the business the necessity of con-
tinual rebuilding set me to thinking, and
as necessity is the mother of iuvention,
the iron gutter resulted from my endeav-
ors to practice economy.
With all important business enterprises
the key to success is economy. The para-
mount question with a successful busi-
ness man is not. How large is my store or
factory ? but. How much business have I
transacted and what are my profits
therefrom? So, also, with greenhouse
establishments. It is not. How much glass
have t?a8 is the usual custom of referring
to one's place, but. How much bench
space liave I and what can I realize from
the same?
In many large establishments the un-
necessary waste of room which is allowed
for shade and drips from leaky and
ill made gutters amounts to more than
several medium-sized establishments.
Nearly all the ordinary wood-construct-
ed greenhouses visited by me have an
allowance of 5 feet from the south bench
in the north house to the north bench in
south house; 2 feet allowed tor walk;
12 inches tor gutter and posts; 2 feet tor
next walk, there being a walk on both
sides of gutter posts. It is not only the
expense incurred in the erection ol non-
producing space which should be taken
iQto consideration, but the extra draft
on one's bank account tor the furnishing
of coal to heat this space through the
many Winters to come.
This fact being carefully weighed, I be-
gan the work of providing a method
of permanent construction obtainable
without increasing the cost of the same.
This was accomplished by using iron
gutters and posts, there being no leaks
from same, and drips being carried off
by drip conductor. I found the same
room could be obtained with about 3
feet less construction, or 15 per cent, of
a 20-toot house, making 3 feet less glass
to heat, or a saving of 15 per cent, of the
fuel ordinarily required.
In the American Florist of August 18,
1900, appeared the following: "In the
range which Mr. Peter Reinberg put up
this year, he was enabled by the use of
the Iron gutter to secure four benches, as
against three by his former method of
construction."
This is not all that was gained, but a
construction which, accordingto a state-
ment from one of our oldest florists in
this section, from whom I am pleased to
quote, will last three times as long, and
perhaps longer than the ordinary wood
constructions. Mr. F. Stielow, ol Nlles
Center, who was obliged to rebuild three
times, and now has iron gutters, says,
according to a clipping from the Florists'
Reivew of May 10, 1900, that he expects
his grandchildren to get just as good re-
sults from these houses as he does, and
that the houses will be new for an indefi-
nite period.
To accomplish this saving of room,
build your house 20 or 26 feet 8 inches
wide, and lay it out in 5-foot benches and
20-inch walks, starting with the first
walk along the north side of house, and
allowing 20 inches for same; then a 5-
foot bench, 20-inch walk; 5-foot bench,
20-inch walk, and a S-foot bench, allow-
ing the last bench to extend to gutter
posts, which are of 2-inch pipe, and you
will have 15 feet of bench in a 20-toot
house, and an extra bench, or 20 feet of
bench, in a 26-foot-8-inch house, or three-
quarters of your house to producing
space. The old method of construction
with wood gutters and posts is 24-inch
walk, 5-toot bench, 20-inch walk, 5-foot
bench, 20-inch walk, 5-foot bench, 24-
inch walk, and 10-lnch wood post, or 23
In selecting an iron gutter, lightness
combined with strength and durability
are essential points. These are obtaina-
ble in the V-shaped, or Garland gutter,
this shape forming a truss, giving it a
carrj'ing capacity of over two tons; the
outer edge of gutter extending down-
ward affords a means of connecting the
sash bar to gutter on a nearly perpen-
dicular surface, thereby avoiding a ledge
that would prove a catchall for slime
and dirt, which is the principal cause of
bars rotting off at lower ends.
The perpendicularsurtace being always
dry, gives an increased life to the bar.
Another advantage which should not
be overlooked is the saving of glass from
breakage by frost and ice. Iron absorbs
sufficient heat from the house to keep it
continually thawed, consequently no ice
can form on gutter, therefore no break-
age of glass occurs from that source. To
better demonstrate this point, on a cold,
icy day, when you are downtown, note
that the iron work, such as sidewalk
lights, steps, etc., on all sidewalks under
which artificial heat is supplied, is free
from ice or snow, while all similar wooden
construction is coated with ice and snow.
Immediately after a fall of snow, melt-
ing at the ridges sets in, and the water
running down to the wooden gutters
freezes fast, forming a ridge up over the
first pane of glass, and preventing the
on 300-foot houses as erected by Wietor
Brothers failed to show anything to sub-
stantiate their tears. The joints of gut-
ters are firmly bolted together, using
Portland cement between the laps, mak-
ing one continuous casting, which is so
rigid that the gutter cannot "snake"
or go out of line, thereby holding the
ridge in its original position. The uni-
form temperature maintained within the
houses prevents any appreciable fiuctua-
tious in the temperature of the iron and
thereby removes the cause of expansion
and contraction, such as iron fully ex-
posed to the action of the weather is
subject to.
To further support the frame of the
house, I have provided a means of con-
necting a No. 6 galvanized wire with
suitable screw fastening at each end,
having a one-fourth-inch hole in the
flange of gutter, through which said
screw fastenings are passed, and having
a nut in the under side of flange for tight-
ening wire. This wire is passed over
both purlins and into opposite gutter,
with similar fastenings, and not only
effectually prevents the purlin from wav-
ing in high winds, but also creates a-
means ol supporting the ridge pole with
out the use of ridge-pole posts, thereby
saving expense in construction. I recom-
mend that these wires be placed 15 feet
apart.
Tile Water Garden at Twin Oaks, Washington, D. C.
feet 2 inches from center to center of gut-
ters, or 15-toot of bench in a 23-foot
house.
The old method of steep roofs and low
gutters should be avoided. Set your
gutter 6 feet from the ground and your
houses sutflciently flat so that one does
not shade the other, giving the north
bars 28 degrees pitch and the south bars
35 degrees pitch, and in the short days
the bench nearest the gutter will be ex-
posed to the action of the bun from the
south house, the shade from ridge and
gutter falling in the center of the house
in dark or shady days, and traveling to
within six inches to one foot of post in
June, when shade is not as detrimental
as in midwinter.
For posts use 2-inch iron pipe above
ground and cast iron legging set in a
hole made with a 6-iuch post auger and
flll in with good cement, bringing the
same well above the ground, and taper
off to meet casting. I find cement an ex-
cellent preserver of iron, and all iron in-
tended tor use in the ground should be
coated with it.
Those who have used my method of
construction were able to erect 250 feet
of gutter in eight hours, using five men,
and I have known a run of 250 feet to
have been set up in flve hours. Those
who wish to know how this was done
can find out by asking Peter Reinberg.
snow from sliding down. With iron gut-
ters theconditlons are reversed, the snow
melting first in the gutter, keeping the
sides smooth, so that the snow can
readily slidedown to the gutter,and pass
off In the form of water in the coldest
weather, thus relieving the house of snow
and exposing the glass to the action of
the sun in one-third the time, which is an
important factor when sunlight is at a
premium.
The following is taken from The Flo-
rists' Exchange of March 10, 1900:
"One of the heaviest snow storms in this
locality in 16 years fell In 24 hours the
past week. It was a good test for the
Garland iron gutter, which did its work
perfectly. As soon as snow begins to fall,
thawing sets In until there is a good
stream of water flowing steadily. Mr.
I^trombach, of Lincoln Park, has his new
plant house all fitted with iron gutters
of the old Garland pattern. We saw the
snow piled up the morning after the
storm, but fast disappearing by a regu-
lar stream of water below. Mr. Strum-
bach told the writerthe second day after
that the snow had all goneoff naturally,
and no trouble whatever was experi-
enced."
The principle of contraction and expan-
sion of metals has probably caused
numerous florists to look with disfavor
on Iron gutters, but practical experience
I have advertised to provide waterway
for 4,000 feet of glass, which to some
seems incredible. Thorough examination
of the outer edge of gutter shows a rise
and depression, forming a stop for the
glass, which has ample room for putty,
making a water-tight joint allowing the
lower lights to serve as auxiliary gut-
ters, creating a gutter four feet wide In
case of emergency, which seldom oc-
curs.
Mr. Carmody, in his addressat the S. A.
F. O. H. convention at New York, like
many other florists who do not seem to
understand that greenhouses containing
an equal amount of bench can be con-
structed for less money with iron gutters
and posts than with cheap wooden
affairs, refers to iron gutters, iron pipe,
etc., as being good in their way, it one
has the money to buy them; but the
poor man willalwayscommence business
in wooden structures, of course, including
wooden gutters. After a careful study
of my method of construction, you will
find that It is especially designed for the
poor man, who must get all the bench
space possible, without extra expense for
construction and heating.
Trusting that all may see the point as
I and others do and proflt thereby. I
will terminate my paper, hoping at some
future day to more fully discuss the ad-
vantages of permanent construction.

^ Cbe 6xpennietit Stations and
the florist Crade
On several occasions some of the most prominent men in the trade have advo-
cated the establishment of "closer relations," between the experiment stations
ofthecouniry and the florist industry, to the end that such relationship might
Inure to the greater welfare of the business generally.
It is well linown that excellent work on behalf of the flower and plant indus-
try has already been accomplished by several experiment stations, the results
of which, more or less, have been presented to those engaged in the trade,
through the media of bulletins, the trade papers, and otherwise, and it was with
the view of submitting, in a condensed form, a summary of the achievements of
the station workers along this line that we procured, and herewith present ihe
following statements relative to work done, and in contemplation, from the
officers In charge.
A careful perusal of the communications subjoined will, we think, reveal the
fact that the florist trade, while receiving attention at the hands of the experiment
stations, would secure still greater assistance from this source, were the means
and conveniences available to the experiment stations wholly compatible with
the importance of the industry Itself. It seems to us that a thorough presentation
of this matter before the proper authorities, would result in larger appropria-
tions being made for work of this nature; and in view of the good already done
with the meager encouragement given, there Is every reason to believe, that with
proper support afforded, some very tangible and valuable beneSts to the trade
would ensue. Certainly the attainment of such support is worth striving for.
United States Department of Agriculture,
Division of Vegetable Pathology and
Physiology, Washington, D.C.
The Division has been endeavoring
for a number o£ years past to help solve
some of the more important problems
connected with the growth of crops un-
der glass. While we lack proper green-
house facilities tor experimental work,
we are under obligations to local and
outside florists for much valuable as-
sistance in working out a number or
these problems. It has been our aim
to concentrate our work as much as
possible on certain crops and the solu-
tion of fundamental problems relating
to nutrition and disease. What we nave
done and are doing for the florists may
be summarized under the following
heads: (1) Improvement of plants by
selection and breeding, (2) the mineral
or soil food of plants, and (3) diseases
of greenhouse crops.
(1) Improvement of Plants by
Selection and Breeding.— In this par-
ticular phase of the work the flor-
ists hold high rank, having taken the
lead in the origination of new varieties
and their improvement. We have form-
ulated, as far as possible and pub-
lished the best and most successful
methods in use. and in this connection
attention is called specially to our Tear
Book articles on Influence of Environ-
ment in the Origination of Plant Va-
rieties" (1896). "Hybrids and Their Util-
ization in Plant Breeding" (1897), "Im-
provement of Plants by Selection" (1898>.
and "Progress of Plant Breeding in the
United States" (1899), and an article in
American Gardening. Sept. 26, 1896, on
"Radish Growing Under Glass," in
which the superior value of large, as
compared with small, seed is discussed.
"Some Problems in Violet Culture," by
Galloway, in Florists' Exchange, Vol.
IX., No. 36, and "Selection of Violets,"
by Dorsett, in American Florist, Aug.
13, 1898. are concrete illustrations of
■what can be done by selection. The
selected violet plants, as stated in the
latter article, gave an average yield of
86.1 flowers per plant, the unselected
60.4 flowers per plant, making a gain of
25.7 flowers per plant as a result of se-
lection. Besides the increase in flow-
ers, there was a marked improvement
in the vigor of the plants and their
resistance to disease.
We have shown in numerous other
publications, notably Bulletin No. 14,
"The Bermuda Lily Disease," and Bul-
letin No. 19, "Stigmonose: A Disease of
Carnations and other Pinks," that in-
dividual plants vary remarkably in
power of resisting the attacks of in-
sects and fungous parasites. In fact
we have demonstrated that it Is possi-
ble to obtain immune strains of almost
every plant. We have already pro-
duced such strains in the case of Sea
Island cottons by obtaining strains of
high quality resistant to the parasitic
root-rot fungus which causes the wilt
(Bulletin No. 27, "Wilt Disease of Cot-
ton and Its Control"). Stem rot of car-
nations, a similar disease, could doubt-
less be eliminated in the same way.
Besides the practical work of producing
resistant and better strains of plants,
we are endeavoring to determine the
laws of variation so that breeders can
produce and flx valuable qualities with
greater certainty.
(2) The Mineral or Soil Food of
Plants.— Some of the most important
problems met with in the forcing of
plants are connected with feeding and
the chemical and physical nature of the
soil. As a basis for work of this kind
we have brought together, in condensed
form, in our Bulletin No. 18. "The Phy-
siological Role of Mineral Nutrients" —
all that is known regarding the part
each of the mineral nutrients plays In
the life of the plant. The bulletin also
contains much new matter that will be
of service to those cari-ying on inves-
tigations in these lines. One of the
most important of these points is the
poisonous action of magnesium in soil
when not accompanied by sufficient
lime. A special bulletin on the relation
of lime and magnesium is now ready
for the printer. Besides this general
work, many experiments have been
made with specially prepared fertiliz-
ers for such crops as chrysanthemums
(see article by Mr. Galloway in Flor-
ists' Exchange, Vol. VIII., No. 49, p.
10S3), roses and violets (see note by Mr.
Dorsett in Florists' Exchange. Vol.
VIII., No. 51, p. 1132). In this connec-
tion there should also be mentioned Mr.
Galloway's work on lettuce soils
(.Vmerican Gardening, Vol. XVI., No.
36), and the chapters on soils and fer-
tilizers in his book on "Violet Culture."
(3) Diseases of Greenhouse Crops.
—There is probably no work of more
direct importance to florists than that
of discovering the cause and means of
controlling the numerous diseases to
which greenhouse crops are subject.
This often involves the study of all the
conditions influencing the growth of
the plant, such, for example, as inher-
ent vigor or weakness, effect of soil
conditions. light, temperature and
water, and questions of nutrition. Some
of these relations are discussed in Mr.
Galloway's Year Book paper on "The
Health of Plants in Greenhouses"
(1895), and in numerous articles con-
tributed from time to time to the
Florists' Exchange and other florists'
papers by the members of the Division.
Special attention has been given to the
violet, and a book entitled "Violet Cul-
ture" was written by Mr. Galloway.
The spot disease of violets and means
of preventing it has been thoroughly
discussed by Mr. Dorsett in Bulletin
No. 23 of the Division. Some new dis-
eases of the violet were also described
by Mr. Dorsett in the American Florist,
Vol. XV., No. 591. In our work on
plants under glass we found it neces-
sary to determine a more effective
means of fighting insect pests than
those in general use. and this led to our
work with hydrocyanic acid gas for
greenhouse fumigation. The method
of fumigating with this gas has been
perfected, especially for violets, ferns,
coleus. etc., and is now widely used
for these and various other greenhouse
crops. We have published numerous
articles on the subject in the Flo-
rists' Exchange and in other florists'
papers, and a complete discussion of
this subject, as far as worked out by
by Mr. Dorsett and the writer, appears
in Circular No. 37 of the Division of
Entomology of this department. This
Division was the flrst, I think, also, to
demonstrate the value of neutral soaps,
such as Ivory, in killing insects and
mites (see article by Mr. Galloway in
Florists' Exchange, September 11,
1S97, p. 821). We have begun a careful
study of diseases of the carnation. One
of these, formerly known as "bacteri-
osis." and supposed to be due to bac-
teria, has been investigated by the
writer and found to be due to the punc-
tures of insects and red spiders. A
complete account of this work may be
found in Bulletin No. 19 of the Divis-
ion. The Bermuda lily has also been
investigated by the writer, and the re-
sults of the investigation published as
Bulletin No. 14 of the Division. Nu-
merous brief articles on other diseases
of greenhouse crops have appeared
from time to time in the department
publications and florists' papers, but it
is not possible to refer to all here.
Besides the work outlined, the Divis-
ion has been endeavoring to help the
florists by calling attention of the gen-
eral public in various ways to the im-
portance of the industry of growing
plants under glass. Mr. Galloway, in
his article on the "Progress of (bom-
mercial Growing of Plants under
Glass" (Year Book for 1899), has ex-
pressed the following sentiment re-
garding florists' work, in which the
writer heartily concurs: "Viewing the
work as a whole and considering
its marvelous development, it stands
out as one of the most striking exam-
ples of the advance of wealth and cul-
ture. The increasing love for flowers
denotes a growing refinement and a
higher appreciation of all things artis-
tic, which promises well both for the
individual and the nation."
The closer union of the Division with
Gardens and Grounds and the other di-
visions of the Department, resulting
from the recent establishment of the
Office of Plant Industry, of which Mr.
Galloway is director, will make it pos-
sible to broaden out our lines of work
for the florists. Both florists and gar-
deners will find us ever ready and will-
ing to give careful consideration to any
problem in our line which may be
brought to our attention.— Albert F.

tation in behalf of florists, I would say
that the Experiment Station in this
State does not take up any particular
work in this line; nor has there been
any particular demand for it. The col-
lege has some extensive greenhouses,
and these are used in connection with
class instruction and as a source of
supply for the plants used throughout
the grounds.

ment Station. New Haven.
The work of this station which most
directly aids the florist, or, in fact, any
cultivator of plants, talis naturally
into two divisions — (1) plant nutrition
and (2) plant diseases. In a series of
investigations extending over six sea-
sons on the use of "Commercial Fertil-
izers for Forcing House Crops," cul-
tures have been made of tomatoes, let-
tuce, radishes, cucumbers, roses and
carnations. The experiments have been
described in detail in the annual re-
ports of the station for 1895, p. 75: 1896,
p. 205; 1897, p. 275; 1898, p. 268, and 1899,
p. 219. The results of the past season's
work have not yet been pulalished. The
publications containing descriptions of
the carnation experiments are the re-
ports for 1896. p. 226; 1897, p. 293, and
1899, p. 226. Many chemical analyses
have been made from cut flowers and
plants, and some are contained in
the above-mentioned papers. The
chemical composition of violet plants
and flowers was given on page
312 of the report for 1897. Ac-
counts of the investigation and
treatment of the "stem-rot" of carna-
tions appear in the reports for 1897, p.
176, and 1899, p. 236. Several papers
embodying the results of original in-
vestigation have been read before flo-
rists's conventions.
In addition to the experimental work
much assistance in the way of advice
has been given florists through corre-
spondence and personal visits to the
forcing houses of commercial growers
of the State. This advice is usually re-
garding fertilizers or the fungous and
insect enemies of plants. For the past
twelve years the station reports have
contained miscellaneous notes on the
occurrence and treatment of noxious
insects and plant diseases, many of
which are of interest to florists. Prob-
ably work w'ill be prosecuted along sim-
ilar lines in the future.

We cannot claim to have done any-
thing tor the florist's trade, except as
our exposition of California soils and
climates may have indirectly aided
them. The trend of our horticulture is
so overwhelmingly toward fruit-grow-
ing that all our energies have been dl-
ri'cted so far in that channel. We have
nothing deflnite to promise for the fu-
ture except that we have the matter
constantly in mind. The splendid ac-
complishments of our private propaga-
tors and seed growers do, however, give

The florists' trade in North Dakota is
confined almost solely to retail busi-
ness, the stock being purchased either
in Minneapolis or Chicago. There are
probably not to exceed six persons in
the State engaged in this trade, and up
to the present time the work has not
been considered of sufficient impor-
tance to take up the attention of the
experiment station. C. B. Waldron,
Professor Horticulture and Forestry.
South Dakota Experiment Station,
Brookings.
As South Dakota is a young State,
with few greenhouses, the experiments
in the line of ornamental horticulture
at this station have been chiefly in the
line of outdoor floriculture. The ques-
tions asked by those in attendance at
farmers' institutes are not what can
be done with a greenhouse, but rather
what can be done without one. The
equipment in this line at the station
consists of two houses, one of which Is
devoted to a general collection of plants
tor the purposes of instruction, and the
other largely to plant breeding. Owing
to our climatic conditions the breeding
of the native fruits of the prairie
Northwest is made a leading feature
of the experimental work of this sta-
tion, with the hope of obtaining im-
proved hardy varieties. The past two
years over twenty - seven thousand
seedlings of native fruits have been
grown at this station. The principle
underlying the work is that "excess of
food onuses variation." For quick re-
sults I am employing florists' methods
largely and treat plants as individuals.
In ornamental horticulture consider-
able attention has been devoted to test-
ing shrubs and trees, and many rare
kinds have been imported. After the
304
Thb F^l-orists* Exchange.
severe Winter of 1898-99 we found, as a
rule, that our northern natives and
those native to Northern Europe and
Asia proved hardy, whiie those of more
southern ancestry failed to stand the
test.
This State greatly needs hardy
double roses. Hence we are endeavor-
ing to cross Rosa rugosa (the Siberian
form as secured by the writer while in
Russia) with standard cultivated
roses, especially the hybrid perpetuals.
Some choice hybrids of Rosa rugosa
imported from Europe, such as Mad-
ame Chas. Frederic Worth, have
proved hardy here, and it appears
probable that the future outdoor roses
of the Northwest will descend from a
union of Rosa rugosa with cultivated
roses. However, the native prairie
roses are not being neglected, as they
show considerable tendency to varia-
tion. Some of the native prairie flow-
ers merit attention from plant-breed-
ers, and the writer contemplates work
in that line if the needed facilities af-
forded by a "plant-breeding house" are
granted by the present Legislature.

This station has not yet done any-
thing in the line of floriculture, except
in a small way in ornamenting our
grounds, but we purpose, in the future,
taking up this line of work, and are
now constructing a greenhouse in ad-
dition to a propagating house, to do
some effective work in that line. We
would be glad to have any suggestions
that would aid us in our work.

ral Experiment Station, Univer-
sity of Illinois, Urbana.
I regret very much to say that our
facilities have been such that we have
found It impossible to give any atten-
tion to experimental floriculture. We
are, however, just now moving Into a
new range of glass houses, to be devot-
ed largely to the interests of floricul-
ture. These we recently built in con-
nection with the new Agricultural Col-
lege building, and while they were in-
tended mainly for college purposes,
they will also be used to a greater or
less extent for experimental work. We
hope shortly, therefore, to take up sev-
eral lines of Investigation which we
trust will be of great beneflt to the
florists of the State and country at
large. In our course of study at the
university we offer a year's work in the
study and management of conserva-
tory and house plants.

periment Station of Indiana,

I beg leave to submit the following
brief reply relative to the work in flori-
culture conducted by this station and
its results:
The Indiana station has carried on
more or less extensive experiments on
(1) sub-watering for greenhouses and
in special pot culture; (2) a study of a
carnation disease; (3) extended trials
on the influence of various plant nutri-
ents on roses and rose blossoms; (4)
and the same as (3) on chrysan-
themums; (5) devoted the greenhouse
one season to a study of all the varie-
ties procurable of cinerarias and cal-
ceolarias; and (6) has investigated the
rust of chrysanthemums.
The work on sub-watering has been
in continuous trial at this station for
some eight years now, being in con-
stant use in several forms, more or less
of the time in one greenhouse where
greenhouse vegetables and flowering
plants have been grown. In this same
connection plants have been grown in
pots arranged for sub-watering and
surface watering, for further investiga-
tion.
The result of this sub-watering In-
vestigation has been to demonstrate
very strikingly superior yields from
beds or pots sub-watered, while the
character of plant growth has been no-
ticeably more vigorous. The results of
this work have been brought out in our
station report for 1898-99, and in sev-
eral bulletins.
A disease of the carnation, termed
"bacteriosis" came under investigation
In 1888, and after extended observation
an elaborate bulletin on this disease
was published in 1896, fully describing
and illustrating it and offering sugges-
tions In preventing Its development by
applying water to the soil and not
moistening the plants, excepting at
considerable intervals of time. The
wetting of foliage, to so remain over
night, was regarded as highly undesir-
able.
A very extensive report on "Rose
Growing with Chemical Fertilizers"
was published in the twelfth annual re-
port of the station. This gave the re-
sults of experiments with roses cover-
ing several years of time, where vari-
ous fertilizers, singly and in combina-
tion, were used on the growing flower-
producing plants. This report was il-
lustrated with page plates to show the
development of plants under different
treatments. The results of three years
ties were studied. No report on this
work has been published.
A study of chrysanthemum rust for
some time resulted in the publication of
a bulletin on this subject in October
last year. This bulletin described the
disease and recommended the use of
Bordeaux mixture or sulphide of potas-
sium as a preventive measure, but that
all badly diseased plants be absolutely
destroyed and slightly diseased ones in
part by burning.
In November, 1898. the station pub-
lished a bulletin on "A Native White
Bedding Plant," the starry grass wort,
Cerastium arvense oblongifolium.

of experimentation showed notable re-
turns from the use of raw-bone meal,
with the most unsatisfactory showing
with dissolved bone black and rock
phosphate.
Experiments in much the same field
were conducted last year on chrysan-
themums, but no results have thus far
been published on this work.
The tests of varieties of cinerarias
and calceolarias were for the purpose
of throwing more light on the charac-
ter of the varieties of the same. Seed
was obtained from various places in
Europe and America, and many varie-
tins have occasionally been published
on floricultural or allied subjects.
This work of the station is a part
only of the investigations of the botan-
ical department, as much attention Is
also given to plant diseases, such as
potato scab and various rusts and fun-
gus developments in the cereals, etc.
A study of mushrooms and their cul-
ture has also been continued for a long
time, while greenhouse culture of to-
matoes, lettuce, cucumbers, beans and
peas, etc., under certain conditions, as
well as other topics, have received
much attention.
Dr. J. C. Arthur, the station botanist,
and Mr. William Stuart, his assistant,
have conducted this work together now
for nearly seven years, and each of
these, as well as the undersigned, is
desirous of promoting, so far as possi-
ble, the floricultural interests of Indi-
ana and the country.

Some of the chief lines of investlgatlou
carried on at the Iowa Experiment Sta-
tion which are of Interest to the florist
are as follows: Special attention has
been given to the study of plant diseases,
those found in the greenhouse and on
out-of-door plants of decorative nature.
The working out of the life history of
those of economic Importance, with a
view of providing better means of com-
bating them, has been an Important
work.
A second line is that of plant breeding to
provide hardier varieties for the North-
west. Good results in this direction have
alraady been obtained In crossing the Eu-
gosa with some of the hybrid tea rosea,
giving us varieties which are hardy, vig-
orous and with fragrant double flowers.
A third line, to which Professor J.
Budd gave special attention for years, Is
In the Importation of foreign plants. Out
of the multitude of varieties received
from many sections of the Old World we
now have a few species of measurable
value to the Northwest, such as the Eus-
elan olive, caraganas, etc.
Of minor importance may also be
mentioned the variety testa of a multi-
tude of newer varieties which receive at-
tention in the greenhouses and in the
herbaceous collection.

I am so occupied in bulletin work at
present that it will be impossible to
write what you want relative to work
we have done bearing on the florists'
interests. Most of our experiments re-
late to field crops, stock and fruits.

under glass is, however, of the sort you
are after. H. Gorman.

In regard to the work which this sta-
tion has done in the line of flowers, I
beg to say that on account of having
attached to it a large greenhouse, 600x
200 feet. In which are cultivated all of
the tropical plants and flowers, and a
yard that is devoted extensively to the
flowers which are used for ornamental
purposes in connection with the sta-
tion, but under the direction of the Au-
dubon Park Commission, we have done
but little in the way of the cultivation
of flowers. All of our friends' wants
have been supplied by the Audubon
Park Commission, and all of the work
needed to be done has been performed
by it. Wm. C. Stubbs, Director.

outline of the station work for which
you ask. Chas. D. Woods, Director.

Station, College Park.
With reference to the work that we
are doing of interest to florists, I would
say that we have considerable work in
progress that should be very beneficial
to florists, but that the work is not
sufficiently far advanced to give any
reports upon same. I may say. how-
ever, that the general line of work con-
sists of the testing of different forms of
beds and benches in greenhouse work,
different soil and compost mixtures,
sub and surface irrigation for flowers,
comparing the use of stable and com-

merclal fertilizers for flowers. Tills
means of fertilizing, so far, has
given results decidedly in favor of the
use of commercial fertilizers in this
work. The blooms and foliage pro-
duced with chrysanthemums by the use
of chemicals has been superior to that
produced by the use of cow-manure,
also being earlier.
H. J. Patterson, Director.

Yours inquiring about experiments
made by our station has just been
handed me, and I hasten to outline a
few relating to florists' or gardening
work under glass.
In Bulletins Nos. 4, 6 and 8 was re-
ported an exhaustive series of experi-
ments on the comparison of steam and
' hot water heating, in which the results
were in favor of hot water.
Previous to this I should have men-
tioned that in Bulletin No. 1, 1888, care-
ful comparison was made as to the
value of plant-bed cloth and glass on
hotbeds and cold frames. In this it
was shown that glass gave the best
protection from cold; that the heat ac-
cumulated most rapidly under glass;
that there was no danger from plants
burning under the cloth, and the cloth
was especially valuable over newly
transplanted plants.
In Bulletin No. 4, 1899, was reported a
series of tests as to the protective qual-
ities of greenhouse walls made of con-
crete, solid and hollow, brick, sheath-
ing with paper, hollow walls and those
filled with machine pine shavings. The
hollow, unfilled sheathing wall proved
the most satisfactory, and the hollow
brick better than the concrete.
In the same bulletin numerous tests
of glazing with the Gasser zinc strips
and with lapped glass were made, with
the results that the houses glazed with
the strips were more easily heated, and
the glass remained longer without slip-
ping down.
The use of evaporated sulphur was
tried under many conditions tor the
prevention and destruction of mildew
and the red spider and mealy bug. This
bulletin showed it to be wholly effect-
ual but a dangerous remedy.
In Bulletin No. 10, 1890, the results of
the use of fertilizers in the growth of
carnations, lettuce, pansies and toma-
toes were given.
In Bulletin No. 15, 1891, further re-
sults were reported in the use of fertil-
izers under glass, aJid also in the ar-
rangement of the heating pipes in
greenhouses, under and over the
benches, with the results that with the
water in the pipes over the benches, av-
eraging 126 degrees as it left the boiler,
the temperature was slightly less than
that of the house with the pipes under
the benches, while the water as it left
the boiler averaged only 120.81 degrees.
The amount of coal consumed was in
favor of the under-bench pipes.
It was also shown that almost all
plants made a better growth where
the pipes were under the benches than
where placed over them.
Since the above date the experiments
and the work of the horticultural de-
partment have been largely confined
to outdoor crops, except in a series of
experiments with hydrocyanic gas for
the destruction of mealy bug and other
insects under glass. This work was
carried on at intervals for two
years, with the result that at times
every insect in the houses was de-
stroyed and the plants uninjured,
while at others, under apparently the
same conditions, the plants, or some
kinds of plants, were badly injured.
This insecticide. If the conditions un-
der which the quantity needed to kill
the insects could be used without in-
juring the plants could be determined,
would prove of great value to green-
house managers, and perhaps this
might be done with houses filled with
only one kind of plants and the tem-
perature be carefully noted; but with
a house of mixed plants we conclude
that this insecticide is entirely unreli-
able.

In answer to your question as to the
work being done at our station touch-
ing upon floriculture, I will state that
this department's work is more largely
along those lines which concern the
market gardener. In our State there
are a large number of this class of agri-
culturists and a considerable amount
of produce is grown under glass. Our
particular line of experimentation is in
the greenhouse, with such crops as let-
tuce, cucumbers, tomatoes and occa-
sionally with other plants. We are,
however, brought into intimate rela-
tionship, through correspondence, with
many llorists concerning the diseases of
plants, and have many such abnormal
specimens to examine and suggest rem-
edies for the same. In many instances
the abnormal conditions of such plants
are due to irrational treatments, and
the only remedy in such instances is to
resort to proper hygienic conditions. In
cases where diseases have been given
thorough attention by other stations
and satisfactory methods of control
have been established, we make no at-
tempt to Investigate them, but give the
florists the results of the latest meth-
ods of treatment. Besides a large cor-
respondence with horticulturists and
agriculturists, there is a large amount
of diseased plant material examined
and Information supplied to the general
public, who manifest considerable in-
terest in the diseases of trees, shrubs
and herbaceous plants. ,
A very brief mention of some lines of
Investigation carried on here during
the last few years relating to floricul-
ture and market gardening are as fol-
lows: The study of the nemotode worm
and methods of controlling the same.
These have been studied in connection
with various plants such as cucumbers,
tomatoes, violets, phlox, etc., and
methods for their control have been
devised, (See Bulletin No. 65.) Various
experiments on fumigation with gases,
the methods of controlling thrips and
aphis have also been made with favor-
able results. Attention has been given
to the chrysanthemum rust and a bac-
teria disease of the geranium. Some
five years have been given to a study
of all of the fungus diseases of let-
tuce and successful methods of con-
trolling the same. (See Bulletin No. 69.)
Extensive Investigations are being
made at present upon the growth of
China asters, a plant with which great
trouble is being had almost every-
where. This work was begun in 1899,
but may not be completed for some
time, owing to the obscure nature of
the problem. During the last season
every obtainable form of aster was
grown— over 300 varieties in all — about
18,000 plants, covering more than half
an acre of land. This was not all In
one plot, but comprised a main bed of
the various varieties about 600 feet In
length, and many smaller lots In va-
rious situations grown in different
ways for experiment. The experience
of others in this connection will be
heartily welcomed, and we should be
glad to receive the address of any per-
son interested in growing this plant.

In the line of experiments little has
been done at our station in connection
with floriculture, for the reason that
our State is new and the demand for
such work is comparatively limited. At
the same time this line has not been
neglected. We take great pride in keep-
ing our grounds in nice shape and in
having an Interesting lot of material in
the way of decorative plants that are
Interesting to visitors and attract their
attention. We have published one bul-
letin on the subject of ornamental
plants and their behavior in this sec-
tion, being a summary of the results
obtained on our grounds and else-
where up to the time it was published.
This bulletin has been very widely
sought after, and, in fact, up to the
time it was issued, was in as great
demand as perhaps any bulletin ever
published at the station. We answer
very many Inquiries as to the best ma-
terial to use for planting out and about
the methods of combating diseases and
Insects injurious to plants in the green
houses and out of doors. Just at pres-
ent we are making a point of encour-
aging the adornment of school grounds
in this State and making them object
lessons of what can be done in this
way. which matter, it seems to me. Is
helpful in increasing the Interest In the
lines of floriculture.
In addition to this we have in our
school of agriculture a regular course
in greenhouse work, the aim being to
teach the general principles underlying
the cultivation of flowers and the prop-
agation of plants. In this course each
student is assigned a certain amount of
space in the greenhouse, and carries
on some twenty-three special object
lessons. Perhaps at some future time
you might like to hear in detail of
these lessons, which have interested
our students very much, and which
mark a new departure in educational
lines. Samuel B. Green,
Horticulturist.

Among the publications from here
that I may mention that bear directly
or indirectly upon the work of the flor-
ist are some half dozen upon spraying
for insects and fungus diseases of
plants, one on the relation of color of
plants to hardiness and methods of
winter protection, forcing and growing
asparagus (as methods employed in se-
lecting seedlings and In forcing might
be applied to certain ornamentals), and
one that is just now ready for the
printer on the results of experiments
in cutting back plants to renew them
after the severe winter injury of two
years ago.
We are taking up some work that
will Interest florists. Among the lines
of work already begun I may mention
selection experiments In the violet, in
which we started with seventeen plants
that were grown from a single seed
capsule. We have propagated from the
plant that produced the most flowers
the first year, as well as from the one
that produced the fewest. Generation
after generation we are still selecting
for few flowers In the one lot and for
many flowers in the other, until in the
last crop, which was the third genera-
tion, we got seventeen plants from one
lot for every three that were obtained
from the other lot, or a proportion of
17 to 3. We are also keeping a record of
the hardiness and blossoming periods
of a good many hardy ornamentals in
this locality for a series of years
which will show their comparative mer-
its for outdoor growing. Incidentally
we have made some observations upon
the effect of different temperatures of
water for greenhouse plants.
As the scope of our work enlarges
we hope to get better in touch with the
florists, whom we recognize as being
among the most progressive of the hor-
ticultural workers, and to take up, from
time to time, such problems as we have
the facilities for working out to better
advantage than can be done in private
places. Perhaps the main reason why
we have not done more that applies di-
rectly to floriculture is because the
florists themselves are somewhat ex-
treme specialists, and are developing to
a surprising degree the mastery of the
problems that confront them, so that at
the present time they are perhaps bet-
ter able to deal with the bulk of their
own problems as well, or better, than
we could do in most cases. We confi-
dently believe, however, that in the fu-
ture certain problems that confront the
florist may be worked out at the sta-
tions, and we will be glad to co-operate
to that end.

The Experiment Station has done
practically nothing along the line of
floriculture. Horticulture in Nebraska
is yet new. With the funds at the dis-
posal of the horticultural division of
the station. It seems best to confine the
work at present almost entirely to
work in behalf of the general farmer.
This, of course, means that our work
is principally along the line of orchard-
ing and gardening.

Our work has been quite continuous
with the diseases of ornamental plants
tor the past ten years, and almost
every subject has lieen considered. Our
bulletins and reports contain much
upon the diseases of roses, carnations,
violets, chrysanthemums, orchids, etc.
Perhaps I can do no better than to
send you a copy of a paper before the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society on
"Rusts of Ornamental Plants."
Last winter I made an address before
the American Rose Society, a copy of
which was sent you and published, I
believe. It was upon the diseases of
the rope.
I trust enough has been mentioned
herein to indicate something of the ac-
tivity of this station along the lines of
helpfulness to florists. My letters are
many from those w^ho are growing
ornamental plants.
Byron D. Halsted,
Botanist and Horticulturist.
New York Agricultural Experiment
Station, Geneva.
In compliance with your request, I
have prepared the following brief ac-
count of the work done by this station
which is of special interest to fiorists:
What little work has been done at the
New York Agricultural Experiment
Station in the interest of florists has
been chiefly along the line of plant
diseases. Considerable attention has
been given to carnation diseases. Bul-
letin 100 gives the results of some ex-
periments on the treatment of carna-
tion rust. Bulletin 175 announced the
discovery of a fungus parasite occur-
ring on the carnation rust fungus.
Carnation stem-rot and the damping
off of carnation cuttings Is now under
investigation. It has been learned that
carnation stem-rot is nearly always
due to one of two causes: (1) To a
species of fuscarium; or (2) to a species
of rhizoctonia. The latter is also one
of the chief causes of the damping off
of carnation cuttings. The widespread
notion that volutella dianthi is a com-
mon cause of stem-rot and damping off
among carnation cuttings is erroneous.
Bulletin 179, "An Anthracnose and a
Stem-rot of the Cultivated Snap-
dragon," has been published. It is de-
voted chiefly to the discussion of a
common and destructive anthracnose
of antirrhinum majus. and gives the re-
sults of an experiment in which the
disease was completely controlled by
spraying with Bordeaux mixture. It
is believed that this treatment will
prove thoroughly effective and prac-
tical.
Considerable attention has been given
to ridding greenhouses of injurious In-
sects by fumigation with hydrocyanic
acid gas. but none of the results of this

The Department of Horticulture has
done and is doing some work with
flowers and shrubs — mostly in finding
out those best suited to our climate.
About five years ago a few small arbor
vita? were secured from Arkansas and
planted out in December. It is safe to
say that 95 per cent, grew, and to-day
many of them measure over six feet in
height. The results with these arbor
vitK have been so good that it has been
somewhat of a surprise to us, as, in the
beginning, we were warned that it was
almost useless to try any of the ever-
greens in this region. Now people, see-
ing how well these little evergreens
grow, are beginning to plant them in
their j'ards.
The enonymous also grows well, and
is well suited to our climate. A very
promising evergreen for planting is the
cedrus deodora. A single specimen
was planted out in 1898 and it has
grown wonderfully well. Judging from
the growth it made last summer — a
very dry summer — and from the way
it holds its bluish-green color during
the winter, we are led to believe the
cedrus deodora will be one of the best
evergreens for planting in yards in this
section.
Roses do quite well. The hybrid per-
petual grows vigorously and blooms
profusely in the Spring and early Sum-
mer. "I'he hybrid teas are not so vig-
orous, but they seem to stand our cli-
mate better than the teas. Many of the
teas tried on the station farm have
cither died or are killed back consider-
ably every winter. However, this
trouble. I believe, can be partially ob-
viated by heeling-in the roses In the
Winter. It has been observed that
some of the finer roses blight in the
bud— Mme. J. Swartz and La France
are two that blight badly.
For two reasons we have been ex-
perimenting with violets, and the re-
sults have been quite satisfactory. It
has been found that, with little care,
violets can be grow-n successfully In
cold frames. During the Summer
the plants in the cold frames
partially shaded by means of a
whitewashed glass sash, and In
Winter the whitewash Is scraped
olT so as to admit the direct sunlight
into the plants. This Winter the plants
have been blooming since about De-
cember 20.

It has been definitely demonstrated
by the Experiment Station and by
individuals that the chrysanthemum
can be grown almost to perfection m
this reg-ion. Verbenas, too, grow well,
and, with little mulching, they stand
the Winters. Other plants that can be
grown successfully are the sweet pea—
for best results these should be sown
in the fall— gaiUardia, antirrhinum,
centaurea, poppy, larkspur and phlox.
The coarse rose-leaf geranium grows
exceedingly well and makes a very
good bedding plant, while, on the other
hand, the common geranium has prov-
en a failure for this purpose. The
canna, however, is doubtless the best
bedding plant yet tried here. Dahlias
and gladioli have not given very sat-
isfactory results. For early bloommg
the daffodils and hyacinth seem to be
very well suited to our conditions. By
March 15 they can be had In bloom, it
they have been set out in daytime.
The Experiment Station, in this line
of work, is demonstrating that many
plants which were at first thought not
to be suited to this climate grow and
do well. ,^ . ^

Tour letter to the director of the Ex-
periment Station, asking for a state-
ment of what this station has done for
floriculture, has been referred to me.
I scarcely know what kind of a report
you want. We are all the time teach-
ing floricultural matters to our stu-
dents, although we have a relatively
small plant and are handicapped for
equipment. In the way of experimental
v\ork proper, we have given particular
attention for some years to chrysan-
themums, geraniums, dahlias, the in-
fluence of electric light on the growing
of plants, and also to carnations. On
some of these subjects we have pub-
lished something, but we sometimes
feel that the influence of our work is
quite as great by making exhibitions
at a few shows and by allowing the
students to see the results of the work.
Whenever, however, results are secured
which seem to be of permanent value,
they will be published. In geraniums
we have had a very large collection,
numbering at one time very nearly
eleven hundred. This included a gen-
eral collection of the bedding and fancy
kinds. I selected great numbers of
these myself in the Old World and im-
ported them. At one time we also had
a very large collection of begonias and
gave considerable attention to them.

The North Carolina College of Agricul-
ture and Mechanic Arts— Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, Raleigh.
The Horticultural Department of the
North Carolina Agricultural Experi-
ment Station has endeavored, so far as
the limited means at its command
would allow, to do all in its power to
serve the interests of the commercial
florists, not only of this State but of
the country in general. Years ago we
began, with the first inauguration of
the station work, to study the adapt-
ability of the soil and climate of this
State for special cultures of certain
things that have heretofore been large-
ly imported from foreign countries.
Especially have we turned our atten-
tion to the cultivation of florists' bulbs.
As is well known. North Carolina has
for many years past grown the supply
of tuberose bulbs for the northern
trade and the London market. This
culture was, for a number of years, a
profitable one in a certain section of
the State, but of late years the tube-
rose has been in less demand th^n for-
merly, and the price of the bulbs has
fallen so that the culture is net so
profitable as it once was though there
are still about twelve million tuberose
bulbs grown annually.
With the purpose of adding other
bulbs to the cultivation of the men
who have been grow-ing the tuberose,
the station has experimented with a
numl>er of varieties of bulbs that are
used in large quantities for winter forc-
ing. Among these we have grown
largely are the candidum lily, the Ber-
muda lily, narcissi of various sorts, in-
cluding the Narcissus Tazetta, or Chi-
nese sacred lily, Roman hyacinths,
while Italian hyacinths and tulips of
various kinds. Owing to the fact that
the horticulturist of the station was
for years without any suitable land for
this work, there has not been the
amount of success that would other-
wise have attended the experiments.
We have demonstrated our ability to
grow the candidum lily far better than
the imported ones, and have sent to
New York bulbs of this species that
were pronounced the finest ever seen
there. The Harrisii, or Bermuda lily,
and the longiflorum have been grown
on a much larger scale and under con-
ditions less favorable to the bulbs,
since all the stock we have had to ex-
periment with, till the present season,
were bulljs that had been badly ex-
hausted by long keeping in the storage
houses in New York, and were sent to
us only after there was no longer a
chance to make sales. A year ago we
planted a large number late in Decem-
ber. These were badly sprouted in
the cases, and the long, bleached shoots
had to be buried deeply to prevent in-
jury from cold. The result was that
they made ropes of young sets, or bulb-
lets, above the original bulb, while the
bulb itself either failed to increase in
size or actually dwindled. But this ex-
periment put us in possession of an
immense stock of small bulblels the
size of a hickory nut and smaller.
These have now been planted in a far
better plot of land than we had ever
had for them before, and we feel confi-
dent that the result will be far better
than heretofore.
The various species of narcissus all
do well here, and can be grown to as
fine quality for forcing as any that are
imported. We are growing Von Sion
more largely than others, and find that
the climate is favorable to the gradual
elimination of the tendency to make
green fiowers, and our bulbs force very
well. With these, too, we have a far
more favorable location than hereto-
fore, and hope to put on the market
Von Sion bulbs next Summer that can-
not be excelled anywhere. Roman hya-
cinths we have some difficulty with.
They are almost certain to get into
bloom about Christmas, and then the
green foliage is exposed to our most
severe weather in January, and if an
unusually cold spell occurs they suffer.
We are studying their needs, and hope,
by giving them a cold exposure and
heavy mulching, with later planting,
to carry them safely through our
changeable Winters. We have grown
them as large or larger than any im-
ported ones, and they have bloomed
earlier than the latter, but, owing to
the premature ripening of the bulbs
by the sudden coming of Avarm weath-
er, the percentage of first-class spikes
was not satisfactory. We have not
given up the Romans by any means.
White Italians come to great perfec-
tion, as they are later in starting and
blooming than the white Romans. One
of our bulb growers in the eastern part
of the State, some years ago, grew the
largest white Roma.ns we have ever
seen, but, owing to inexperience in
handling them, he got them gummy in
curing, and the failure discouraged him
so that he has grown none since.
Freesias we have grown w^ith fine
success in cold frames, w'ith no cover
but the glass, and the past Fall we
planted some in the open ground. In
fact, we are really but at the beginning
of our bulb experiments, for until last
Fall we have been without the ground
we wished for the purpose. But now,
having land of the finest quality and
having devoted unusual care to the
planting, we are hoping for better re-
sults than ever, and the growers in
the eastern part of the State are
\\'atching oui- experiments with inter-
est. We have now in the ground 75.000
Harrisii and longiflorum sets and a
moderate stock of candidum. and about
10.000 narcissus, with a sprinkling of
other l^ulbs.
In other lines of floral work we have
demonstrated the fact that in our clay
soil cuttings of the hybrid perpetual
roses, set in the Fall, root well and
make plants far better fitted for pot-
ting north than those g-rown in the
sandy soils of the more southern coast
country. They make a compact mass
of roots, and not the long, ropy roots
that are made in a sandy soil: hence
there is far less loss in potting them
when sent north. For the best success
with these, however, it will always be
best to get well-ripened wood from the
north, since ours grows too late and is
not so well ripened. Tea roses we
propagate with the greatest ease with
wood from outdoor plants, and can get
good wood up to Christmas from the
open ground. In ail the propagation
of roses here I have never seen mildew
on a rose but once, and that was on
plants sent here from New York. Tea-
rose cuttings rooted here in August and
September can be well established in
small pots and packed in frames for
the Winter, and large quantities can be
produced at a small cost, since frames
are all that are needed.
We began this season to test the
capacity of our climate for the pro-
duction of some varieties of flower
seeds that are so late blooming north
that they are better grown in a warmer
climate. The season has been a most
unfortunate one, and the plants select-
ed for the experiments — Salvia splen-
dens varieties and a few other things
— were almost destroyed by the intense
heat and draught. We hope to repeat
the experiment under better conditions
another season.
We have grown a large number of
seedling cannas, but, while we have
produced many fine ones, we have not
as yet had any of such a striking char-
acter as to warrant our sending them
out with new names. There is too
much of sending out of varieties no
better than those we already have for
the stations to do anything of the sort.
Some of our seedlings, in the hands of
energetic men in the trade, would
doubtless have gone out with colored
plates. When we do get an extra fine
thing we will send it to the trade with
some confidence.
Dahlias we have great difficulty with.
Not that they do not grow well, but
our climate is too warm for them, and
they exhaust themselves in flowering
in May and June, and, when the roots
are left in the ground all Winter and
merely mulched to protect them, they
will sometimes get up and bloom in
April and make better flowers than
ever after, as the weather then suits
them. Gladiolus we have grown to a
limited extent, and have grown bloom-
ing bulbs from the seed in one season.
Amaryllis (hippeastrum) Johnsonii we
have abundant success with. During
the whole of the last hot Summer our
bulbs bloomed continually and grew to
a magnificent size, increasing rapidly
by offsets. We are getting up a stock
of these from a small start, and find
that there is no bulb that gives great-
er satisfaction in Suminer here. In a
dry soil the bulbs live over the Winter
well with a good mulch, but there is no
advantage in this to the commercial
grower, who should have his bulbs on
the market in the Fall, ready for pot-
ting for the Spring bloom.
We have grown fine bulbs of the Chi-
nese sacred lily. As a rule we have
not succeeded in producing bulbs that
compare with the Chinese, but we will
yet do it, for we find that our bulbs
bloom earlier than the imported ones
and do just as well in water.
Floriculture makes slow progress in
a commercial way in this State, and
we have been mainly concerned in in-
teresting the Northern dealers, hoping
to start the bulb industry here so that
our people can take hold of it intelli-
gently. While our success has not been
all that we hoped, we are still working
at the problem, and believe that there
are some of the commercial bulbs that
we will yet grow to perfection, as we
do the candidum lily. But my letter is
already too long, and while I might
add more suggestions they must be de-
ferred.

Wc have not been organized in such
a manner as to talce up many experi-
ments in relation to floriculture. The
most that we have done so far is in
the line of sub-irrigation, or sub-water-
ing, which was originated at th'S sta-
tion. Our first w^ork in connection with
this was with vegetables, but we-have
for two years past been giving more
attention to the growing of carnations
and roses by this plan. We have not
yet published the results of our work,
and probably shall not do so until next
season. We are finding that there are
some advantages in growing both car-
nations and roses by this method. I
sent an article to your paper a little
more than a year ago which gave some
of our results, but I do not now recall
the issue in which it appeared. We
have also made some attempts in com-
paring varieties of carnations, but we
have found unexpected difficulties in
our way in this part of the work, prin-
cipally owing to the fact that we could
not secure new varieties soon enough
to malie a trial in time to be of very
much value to the florists. Without
undertaking to speak for other depart-
ments than my own, I will say that
both the botanist and the entomologist
of this station have made studies ol
plant diseases and insects and methods
of dealing with them. Accounts of I
these experiments have appeared from *
time to time in our bulletins.

Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment
Station, Stillwater.
This station has completed practi-
cally nothing of interest to florists. We
had some work started along fertilizer
lines, but an accident in our green-
house knocked it all out. This is a
case in which we will have to be left
out, I guess, and I regret it greatly,
because I have a lively personal inter-
est in several problems connected with
the florists' business.
John Fields, Director.
Oregon Agricultural College and Ex-
periment Station, Corvallis.
Up to this time the station has per-
fectly ruled out any experiments along
the lines of floriculture whatever. The
only work done is for giving instruc-
tion to students in the cultivation of
plants, etc.
If you will write me, setting fortli
what experiments would be of service
to the trade in general, I will lay it
before the council, and they will be
pleased to do any work along the line
if they see it is wanted and you par-
ticularly wish it. I wish the trade
would make a demand for such work.
I am ready to do all I can to help it
along.

I regret to say that I cannot supply
you with any news that will be of spe-
cial interest to your readers. The force
of this station has been spent mainly
along agricultural lines. Horticultur-
ally, our work has been mainly to aid
the pomologist. We have done no
work, and have none in contempla-
tion, to directly aid the florist trade.
Geo. C. Butz, Horticulturist.
Rhode Island College of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts, Kingston.
Not much has been done here along
floricultural lines. I suspect that the
trouble is that most of us who are
horticulturists have not had the train-
ing which enables us to deal intelli-
gently with floricultural problems. Pro-
fessor Kinney, my predecessor, made
some study of the fairy-ring disease
and the rust of carnations. His re-
sults are reported in the annual report
for 1896. Since my coming we have at-
tempted to make some study of the
stem-rot of carnations, the results
being reported in the last two annual
reports. I am sorry to say that we
have not obtained any very definite re-
sults, apparently the most important
thing being to start with clean sand,
and keep the plants in soil where car-
nations have not been previously
grown. However, that may not be a
preventive in all ca.ses. At present we
are making a comparison of slate and
boards for greenhouse benches. The
direct object of this test is its effect in
the growth of lettuce; but it might also
have a bearing upon floriculture.
I should be glad to do more work
along floricultural lines. One thing
which has occurred to us is the test-
ing of plants for forcing purposes
which are not so grown to any extent
at the present time. I think we shall
try to do something of that kind, but
we are greatly handicapped from the
fact that we have no greenhouse
worthy of the name and very little
space in what we call the greenhouse.

Owing to the pressure of other work,
little has been done in the way of ex-
perimenting with flowers by this di-

publication at present. We are now
in better shape for work ttian hereto-

that will probably be of interest to you
later.
C. C. Newman, Horticulturist.

Logan, Utah.
This station has as yet done very
little to assist the florists of Utah.
There is not very much done in green-
house work in this State, and we sel-
dom have a call for help. There are a
great many problems that could be
worked out, if the Experiment Station
had the time and the means to spend
on them. There are so many different
kinds of soil, and the presence of al-
kali is more or less noticeable in neajly
all parts of the State, that the soil
problem, at least, would have to be
worked out for each locality. This is
also partially true with the water, for
it varies a great deal in the amount
of lime and alkali which it carries.
In one of the greenhouses in Salt Lake
City last year I found carnations very
seriously injured by the excessive
amount of lime in the water used.
We are always willing to assist any
one who applies to us, and only wish
we had the means to unravel the
knotty problems which florists and
others are encountering. I think one
of the reasons why we do not have
more calls for assistance is that flor-
ists do not seem to understand that
they are at liberty to write us for infor-
mation.
C. P. Close, Horticulturist.
University of Vermont and State Agri-
cultural College, Agricultural Ex-
periment Station, Burlington.
The only thing which has been done
here of an experimental nature in flori-
culture since my connection with the
station has been in the study of can-
nas and lilies. We took special inter-
est in the breeding of new cannas of
the Italia, or orchid-flowering type, and
at the time when they were being in-
troduced we took great pains to test
the new varieties and to disseminate
accurate information regarding them.
In the study of lilies we have paid
chief attention to botanical classifica-
tion, and have made some publications
along that line. These results you will
find in articles in the Botanical Gazette
of two years ago, and in the article un-
der "Lilies" m Bailey's "Encyclopedia
of Horticulture." This lily study Is
being continued, and we hope from
time to time to add something to the
fund of practical information concern-
ing new species and varieties in
America.
Tou understand that our State is not
engaged in commercial floriculture to
any extent, and that there is very
little call for work of that kind at this
station. Whenever practical questions
come up we always do our best to
throw what light we can on them.
F. A. Waugh, Horticulturist.
Washington Agricultural Experiment
Station, Pullman.
Floriculture is not an important In-
dustry in this State as yet. although it
will undoubtedly become so as our
cities increase in number and size.
Consequently, the horticultural depart-
ment of this station has not undertak-
en any definite experimental work
along this line as yet. Our aims will
be, however, to help as much as we can
in instilling the love of flowers and the
desire to grow them on the home
grounds as a part of landscape garden-
ing. Aside from this, we do not ex-
pect to take up anything else imme-
diately.
S. W. Fletcher, Horticulturist.
West Virginia Agricultural Experiment
Station, Morgantown.
The horticultural department of the
West Virginia Agricultural Experiment
Station was organized in 1892. One of
the first lines of work undertaken was
a study of the effect of incandescent
electric light upon flowers and vege-
tables. The results of this work were
published in Bulletin No. 37, "Electro-
Horticulture." This was followed by a
series of experiments to determine the
effect of sub-irrigation on plant
growth. The application of this im-
proved method of watering carnations
and violets needs no further exposition
than that made by Professor J. C.
Arthur before the American Carnation
Society, at Chicago, 1898, and that set
forth in our Bulletin No. 33, "Sub-irri-
gation in the Greenhouse." The work
with electric light has been supple-
mented by extended tests of the effect
of the incandescent Welsbach gas light
on plant growth, report of which was
made in Bulletin No. 62, issued October,
1899.
Work now in progress which has a
special bearing on the commercial flor-
ists' business is a study of the results
of the cumulative effect of continuous
propagation of roses from blind and
from flowering wood. This work has
been in progress for four years, and has
been very conscientiously carried out.
The results, when published, should
throw some very positive light upon
the long-disputed point regarding the
value of blind and flowering wood cut-
tings for commercial purposes.
Another study which was carried on
for the benefit of the trade was the
effect of several devices for drawing
the stems of hyacinth buds; these re-
sults will be published, in connection
with those from the rose work, in the
near future.
While the problems of the florists
have received some consideration here
and elsewhere, the small proportionate
claim which the industry has in any
one State, compared with other
branches of horticultural effort, make
it appear as though this Important
branch of commercial horticulture were
being neglected at the stations.
Your problems are not State prob-
lems, but national problems, and might,
therefore, well be taken up by the Hor-
ticultural Department at Washington
without in any way encroaching upon
the domain of any particular State. I
make this suggestion because I know
the limitations of the State stations
and appreciate the character and mag-
nitude of the problems confronting the
commercial florists.

Regarding Experiment Station work
as affecting the florist. I subjoin a
brief synopsis of my work here:
Experiments extending over three
years demonstrated the value of sub-
watering greenhouse plants grown on
benches. Various methods were em-
ployed and a great variety of material
used as media for the distribution of
the water. Drain tile, cinders, char-
coal and bricks were all used, but brick,
set edgewise on a water-tight bench
bottom, covered with the necessary
depth of soil, appeared to be the best
method. In order to insure a quick
and even distribution of the water, the
lower edges of the bricks should be
chipped oft. Lettuce, radishes and to-
matoes were the crops grown. The
principle is a valuable one, and will in
time be applied, in some form, by the
majority of growers. The first work In
this line was done by Professor Greene,
of the Ohio Experiment Station. Much
yet remains to be done, especially in
the line of a cheaper form of bench
construction, and the substitution of
some lighter material for the bricks.
In 1896 the principle of sub-watering
was successfully applied by me to large
foliage beds on the lawn. The soil in
the beds was excavated to a depth of
eighteen inches and a system of three-
inch drain tile laid over the bottom of
the excavation. A line of tile was laid
across the center of the bed. and at
riglit angles to this branch lines were
laid to the curcumference of the bed
and the outer ends closed with cement.
A larger section of tile, set vertically
at one end of the main, served as an
inlet to the system. Most excellent re-
sults were obtained during this year as
well as the following years. Five or
six applications of water proved to be
sufficient during the season.
A series of experiments were con-
ducted, covering a period of two years,
to determine the comparative influence
of warm and cold water on plant
growth. Coleus. tomato and other
plants were watered with warm water
(70° to 75° Fahr.); others with cold
water (46° to 50° Fahr.), and a third lot
with water at 32° Fahr. No perceptible
difference could be noted in the
gro\\'th or vigor of the plants in the dif-
ferent lots at any time. Some of the
tomato plants watered (thoroughly
soaked) with ice-water actually yield-
ed more fruit than others under like
conditions, except that they were wat-
ered with warm water. The experi-
ments were repeated many times and
duplicated outdoors. From the results
of the various experiments it was con-
cluded that ordinary garden and green-
house crops are not likely to be affected
by the temperature of any water or-
dinarily available for watering pur-
poses. Frederic Cranefield,

Replying to your recent inquiry ask-
ing for an account of what our Experi-
ment Station has done to assist the
florist, I have to inform you that noth-
ing was undertaken in that line until
a few months ago — soon after I be-
came connected with the station. The
work undertaken was with roses and
carnations, and its bearing was only
local, the intention being first, to show
the local greenhouse owners that roses
and carnations can be produced here
more cheaply than they can be shipped
in from other sections of the country,
and, secondly, to determine which of
the various kinds of soil in this locality
are best adapted to their culture. Un-
fortunately, on the day that we cut
the first carnations our greenhouse was
partially destroyed by fire, ruining the
experiment in both sections of the
building.
Tou perhaps know that the green-
house interests are very small in the
State of Wyoming, and that. In tnis
part of the State, most of the flowers
are shipped in from Denver and
Omaha.

Graphiola Disease of Palm Leaves.
Palm leaves suffer from different spot
diseases, and at least one of these Is par-
ticularly noteworthy, wide-spread and
dangerous. This disease appears in the
form of small black nodules, which are
seen on both sides of the palm leaves,
and in their immediate vicinity gradually
discolor these. The leaves become un-
Gpaphiola Phoenicis.
a. Diseased Phoenix leaf.
b. Cross section of the leaf showing numerous
columns in a fruit body.
c. d. Single columns.
e. A spore, unstringing fungus thread and
single spores,
(a, reduced, all others enlarged.)
siKhtly from these numerous spotH and
black protuberances, and tlic ])lant siinn
dies. In the early stages of the disinse
the spots, not being very numerous, are
not noticed, and In this condition plants
are often sold In open market. At this
stage the fungus has not yet begun to
spread from leaf to leaf — and from palm
to palm— but in a short time these black
nodules produce spore-bearing columns;
and the lightest breath of air carries
these spores, which appear like yellow
colored dust, from leaf to leaf, thus
spreading the disease often throughout
the whole of the palm house. The old
leaves of the palm are most liable to, be
attacked, but the disease does also
attack the young ones. The fungus is
known by the name of Graphiola I'hte-
nicis. It attacksuotouly theleavesof the
Phoenix species, but is also very preva-
lent on those of the Chama?rops humilis,
especially in the open air in upper Italy.
It has spread over every portion of the
earth, from Java to America.
Care uiust be taken that sick palms are
not placed beside healthy ones. The
diseased leaves should be cut off and
burned. Whether a spraying of the
healthy leaves with Hordeaux mixture
as a preventive of the fungus, or whether
a washiirg of the leaves with soap suds
or diluted Ljsol, will hinder the develop-
ment of the spore-forming columns, can
onl.v be ascertained by trial.
Tlie pictures show a diseased palm leaf
with the small black nodules and the
spore-forming columns. The cross sec-
tion of the leaf shows numerous spores
In the fruiting state. Pictures of the in-
dividual spores are also shown. — Ex-

A New Bureau of Plant Industry.
Near the close of the last session Con-
gress passed a measure whereby five of
the divisions of the Department of Agri-
culture are placed under the supervision
of one director, and the name under
which the new arrangement will be
known after the beginning of the new
fiscal year is the Bureau of Plant Indus-
try. This is a comprehensive title and
means not only an establishment for the
study of those plants in which the farmer
is most interested, but also those handled
by the fruit grower, nurseryman, florist
and gardener. The divisions included
in the new arrangement are as follows:
Gardens and grounds, pomology, bota-
ny, plant pathology and physiology, and
plant and seed introduction.
Secretary Wilson, who has the happy
knack of hitting the nail on the head
every time, has selected for the director-
ship Dr. B. T. Galloway, who has for
several years occupied the position of
chief of the division of vegetable physi-
ology and pathology. Our readers nill
agree with us that a gentleman more
competent to fill this important position
could not possibly have been found.
In connection with the work,, in which
our readers are directly interested, Pro
feseor Galloway Intends growing and-
testing new introductions and importa-
tions, with a view to ascertaining the
conditions most favorable to their
growth In our climate; the diseases to
which the more widely grown plants are
liable and the best methods of combat-
ing them; the best methods of propagat-
ing certain plants, such as the improved
varieties of hickory, juglans, etc. Up to
the present time this has been a subject
which has somewhat puzzled our best
propagators, and from what has already
been accomplished under the direction of
Professor Galloway, the dilticulty seems
in a fair way to tie solved.
The improvement of already existing
forms and races by selection and cross-
ing will be carried on along scientific
lines. Dr. Galloway already lias a staff
of assistants n ho are enthusiasts in their
several lines of work, and we may confi-
dently look for the same high-grade re-
sults which have made' the division of
whlch"the professor has hitherto been the
head famous.

From a Photograph
Taken
Last Summer
During
Construction
t
BY using- the Garland Iron Gutter and Iron Post construction in the above range of six houses,
each 26 feet S inches wide by 250 feet lono-, there was made a saving of $1,200.00 over wooden
gutter and wooden post construction. The Iron Gutter and Iron Post construction cost $100,00 per
house more than wooden gutters and wooden posts, but there was a gain of 750 square feet of
available bench surface in each house. This additional bench surface is worth at least 40 cents a
square foot, and therefore a total of $300.00 per house. Deducting from this the $100.00 extra
•cost of the Iron Gutters and Iron Posts, left a saving of $200.00 on each house over wooden con-
struction; and on the six houses the gain was $1,200.00. This was the saving for the first year.
In following years the full $1,800.00 will be saved annually. That the space thus gained is just as
valuable as any other in the house is attested by many of the most noted florists in the country.
Aside from the saving noted, this range of houses will last indefinitely.

" I wiBh to expreBB my thorongh latlefactlon with the No. 70 Standard Sectional
steam boiler which I placed In my greenhouses early In December last year. I have
three houeeB. 2(ixii.'i. lo(.ated side by aide, with glass in roofs and gabiee. The houBes
are built of glass aod wood, and contain In all abour T>»M'») equare feet glass surface.
1 have In use about ^iOKi reec one-inch pipe, or about 7in> square feet of radiation. I
carry a temperature of about .".u degrees at nlgbf, but have bad no dlllicalty In get-
ting any higher temperature desired. I find that the boiler will run ten hours
without attention. I attend to It about nine o'clock at night and It will run with no
further attention until seven o'clock In the morning. The draft I have la not a good
one. yer, notwithstanding this objactloo, I have no difficulty In getting the fire up
and getilng as much steom as 1 deelre.

The factory of Henry W. Gibbous, at
Bloomsburg, Pa., is practically complete,
and began operations last week, manu-
facturing greenhouse supplies.
Our Special Edition.
Our Special Spring Trade Edition this
week, the first one of the new century,
contains 64 pages and cover, and is, we
think, fairly representative of the giant
strides making in this industry of ours.
We hope our advertisers and readers
alike will be satisfied with this number.
Next week our two-colored supplement
■will consist of beautiful illustrations of
Carya tomentosa, Chinese wistaria, Ilex
crenata and FaguB sylvatica.
When Fire Insurance Tells.
The numerous disastrous fires which
have occurred throughout the country
during the past Winter, in many in-
stances leaving the owners of the green
house plants destroyed practically
stranded, are all too painful reminders of
the need of every fiorist insuring his es-
tablishment against such a contingency.
This is not a plea on behalf of insurance
companies, but simply a plain statement
of fact upon a duty that every man en-
gaged in this business owes to himself,
to his family, and to his fellows. The
fire fiend comes like a thief in the night,
sometimes in spite of the greatest vigi-
lance ; desolation and reduction to a state
of semi-poverty and dependence upon
the generosity of neighbors and friends
oftentimes follow in his train. Insurance,
to a greater or less extent, mitigates the
degree of suspense in which one must
ever live who owns or presides overcom-
bustible property with its eternal risk of
conflagration, and lessens somewhat the
force of the calamity when it does strike.
Every man, therefore, is a friend unto
himself whoowns a flre insurance policy ;
it helps him in many ways, not the least
of which is the maintaining of his self-de-
pendence. Insure your property, and
where possible, your stock likewise.
THE AMERICAN ROSE SOCIETY.
This young and energetic society has
again scored a success with its main an-
nual exhibition, as an exhibition, particu-
lars of which will be found elsewhere in
thesecolumns; and the interest manifest-
ed in the show, both by home and foreign
rosarians, augurs well for the support
and consequent future usefulness of the
association. Never perhaps in the^his-
tory of the rose has the queen of flowers
had a more gorgeous setting than was
afforded it by the accommodation pro-
vided in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel ; and
never belore has this popular blossom
appeared to better advantage. Then,
too, society was its sponsor, and right
loyally did they labor on behalf of their
favorite. It is much to be regretted that
more propitious weather did not fall to
the lot of the promoters than prevailed
during two days of the show; still it is
believed that the financial end will be as
satisfactory as was the display itself.
The arrangement innovations this
year, in the shape of formal gardens, rep-
resenting different national styles of gar-
dening, while spectacular in effect and
to some extent attractive, were only
educational in so far as they demon-
strated the defects to be avoided should
similar future efforts be made. Present
essays were provocative of conflicting
commentaries with the tendency toward
the unfavorable. It is, however, a ques-
tion whether any better presentation
could have been afforded with the mate-
rial and space available wherewith to
do the work.
Probably never at any previous time
have judges had a more difficult task
assigned them in the matter of adjudica-
tion of cut flowers of roses than was the
case at this exhibition; and it is little to
be wondered at that numerous protests
VFere afloat. Theirs is a thankless task
at best, and censure is their common
portion; yet— and we say it in all kind-
ness—the man who is not an expert
should, for the credit of the judging pro-
fession, retire from the work in cases
where he has no knowlege of the subject
judged or where that knowledge is
merely a superficial one, rather than stick
to his post and have his name coupled
with the natural consequent results. It
is doubtful whether the double judging
employed (first and second days) was
productive of anyZmore satisfactory con-
clusions' than those obtained under
what might be termed the old and usual
one-time examination. If keeping quality
was the objectaimedat, we feel sure that
outside growers are put to a great dis-
advantage by the new plan. Besides,
the keeping qualities of standard varie-
ties;of roses, some of them in commerce
for over a quarter of a century, need no
demonstration at this late day, and a
vitiated atmosphere is^hardly a fair test,
though, of course, every flower is on an
equal footing in that particular.
- Theipresidency of the society, a posi-
tion ably fllled by the incumbent tor the
past year, has now passed into amateur
circles, a step in consonance with the
ruling passion of the society. The vice-
presidency has fared similarly; and no
doubt all will now be well, as there Is
still a body of working officers from the
trade in the Executive Committee.
The selection of a place to hold the next
March show was one of the most enter-
taining features of the annual meeting,
calling forth much eloquence, wit and
humor. The discussion given in another
column shows the "direction in which
the wind is blowing," and only a master
stroke of diplomacy on the part of the
Western statesman-florist saved the so-
ciety its national name and character.
"We don't wanttobe selfish "—yet— was
the L'Aiglonic averment of those who
favored the metropolis as a permanent
place for the exhibition and meeting of
the society.
The American Rose Society has set an
example tor other specialty associations
in the matter of registration, by turning
over work of this nature, as applicable
to new roses, to the S. A. F. O. H.
The appropriation of the Bureau of
Plant Industry recently created by the
Government will aggregate about$225,-
000, and nowhere in the world will there
be such a strong organization working
in the interests of the farmer, gardener,
and fruit grower. The florists' interests
will be especially looked after,as the gen-
tleman in charge of the new bureau has
always shown much interest in this
work. Edwin M. Byrnes, for 26 years
connected with the Propagating Gar-
dens, has been made foreman of the gar-
dens and grounds, and George W. Oliver
has also been made a member of the new
bureau's force.
One of the floral designs In connection
with the funeral of her late majesty Queen
Victoria was a representation of the
Prince of Wales' feathers formed of lily of
the valley, springing from a crown of
Parma violets. The lettering of the
motto "Ich Dien" was done in dark-col-
ored violets, jeweled with orchids and
over a base of double zonal pelargoni-
ums. The design was sent by" The Prince
of Wales' Own," the 10th Royal Hussars.
There is an opinion entertained by a
great many that it would be the proper
and right thing to have the American Rose
Society and the American Carnation So-
ciety meet jointly, at a date intermediate
between the two dates now in opera-
tion.
Some one is asking whether the name
of the violet Princess of Wales, will now
be changed to that of Queen Alexandra.
No; retain the name in memory of the
most excellent lady after whom the sweet
flower was christened.

PLANTS AND FLOWERS.
Carnation El.ma. — We have received
from S. -\lfred Baur, of Erie, Pa., several
blooms of this new carnation. The flow-
ers are very fragrant, of good size and
pleasing color, a light pink. Stem and
calyx both are good. The blooms were
well packed and reached us in flue con-
dition.

Trade Items.
BusineBS in cut flowers waa quite
briBk at tlie begiuning of tiie weeli; tlie
demand for good roses and carnations
was fully equal to the supply, and stock
cleared out in good shape It proved,
however, to be only a temporary rush,
caused chiefly by an extra number of
good-sized funeral orders, and the mar-
ket has again assumed that semi-torpid
condition that has been so prevalent
since the commeucement of Lent. The
supply of bulbous flowers has shortened
up considerably, yet sufl^cient are com-
ing in to meet all requirements.
Carnations of both ordinary and fancy
grades are doing a shade better than last
week, while roses will hardly average as
well as they did, as they have accumu-
lated somewhat during the prevalent
rainy weather of the last few days. Ask-
ing prices for fresh stock have suffered
very little change, but for the flowers
that are carried over a day scarcely any
offer is refused.
Lilies are bringing from 5c. to 10c. ac
cording to quality. By the manner in
which orders are being placed for Easter
delivery, it does not seem that these
flowers are to be any too plentiful.
Violets are still overabundant, and
there is no change in values. Pansies,
mysotis, swainsona, stocks, freesias and
sweet peas are meeting with but a limited
demand.
Jotting!.
The rose show brought many of
the craft from other cities to town this
week. Among the visitors were E. G.
Hill, Richmond, Ind.; W. J. Palmer, Jr.,
Buffalo, N. Y.; Robert Craig, W.N.Craig,
Robert Kitt, Edwin Lonsdale, and Alex.
Scott, Philadephia, Pa.; W.K. Partridge,

Mass.; J. H. Dunlop, Toronto, and E.
Duggan, Brampton, Ont.; E. M. Wood,
Natick, Mass.; J.L. Dillon, Bloomsburg,
Pa.; Robert Simpson, Clifton, N. J.
R. Jahn, who has been conducting a
retail Jbusiness at 301 Flatbush Avenue,
Brooklyn, has sold out to J. D. Phillips,
Jr., a son of J. D. Phillips, the prominent
Fulton Street retailer.
R. C. Pye & Brother have secured a
greenhouse establishment at Nyack,
N. Y., and have gone into the growing
of roses and carnations.
The litigation of Thomas DeVoy & Son,
the well-known florist of Poughkeepsie,
N. Y., against the New York Cut Flower
Co., which has been in the courts for four
years and thrice decided in favor of the
plaintiffs, has finally been decided In favor
of and won by the plaintiffs— the defend-
ants giving up the flght, settling the suit
with costs. Frank B. Lawn, of Pough-
keepsie, counsel for plaintiffs; William E.
Kelly and Alfred A. Gardner, of New
York, for defendants.
The New York Market Florists' Asso-
ciation will open Clinton market, at Canal
and West Street, this (Saturday) morn-
ing.

market Notes.
The nice Spring-like weatheris bring-
ing in stock too heavily for the present de-
mand; everything is in abundance, and
it looks as if stock will be plentiful for
the Easter trade. The quality is very
good, excepting that of Lilium Harrisii.
Tbe percentage of good bulbs among our
home growers ranged from 10 to 25,
only one grower claiming 90 per cent,
good. L. longiUorum, those that were
forced rather early, are weak, averaging
about one bloom to a plant, which would
bring four or five flowers later on. Trade
was somewhat quiet the past week,
funeral work constituting the bulk of it.
Club meeting.
The March meeting of the Florists'
Club was unusually well attended, about
30 members being present. The exhibit
of cut blooms was discussed for over an
hour. The following were shown: The
American Rose Company of Washing-
ton, D. C, shipped a fine lot of their new
rose White Golden Gate, among them a
few that were cut several weeks ago, and
all in good condition. A few grow this
rose in our city and speak highly of it,
claiming it to be as good and as easy to
grow as other sorts; some claim it to be
the best of all. John N. May, of Summit,
N. J., sent blooms of his carnation Olym-
pia, which were much admired; also of
an unnamed seedling. No. 22, which did
not arrive In good condition to show to
advantage,
ired Burki exhibited carnations The
Marquis, Genevieve Lord, William Scott,
and White Cloud. The last-named varie-
ty is the best white grown in our neigh-
borhood. Mr. Burki's house of White
Cloud is said to be better than anything
seen in the East. Ernst Fisher showed
Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson carnation. He
is the only one who has brought many
blooms of this sort yet, and thinks well
of it. He also showed Bride and Brides-
maid roses from plants grown the third
year, which were fine. Mr. Nauman ex-
hibited a few plants, seedling geraniums
and several begonias.
A few of the members who attended
the carnation show in Baltimore stated
that the exhibit there was very fine and
large. Mrs. T. W. Lawson, in their opin-
ion, was the best flower of all, and Nor-
way showed up better than all other
whites.
John Bader's talk on palms was again
postponed, as the hour was late. About
ten new members were proposed. A vote
of thanks was tendered to the exhibitors
for their displays.
A. B. Cartiedge and J. L. Pennock, of
Philadelphia, paid ua a short visit last
week. J. A. Penman,of New York,is still
in the city, and was a visitor at the club
meeting.
The Easter show in the Phippa Con-
servatories in Schenley Park is almost
ready, and It will pay any one to spend a
few hours viewing it.
E. C. Reineman.
Philadelpbla.
Godfrey Aschmann, Rising Sun, reports
a brisk Easter demand, and his stock is,
as usual, in first-class shape, particularly
the lilies and azaleas. Having secured a
supply of good bulbs he has had little or
no diflicuity in getting Illy plants with
five to ten buds.
Business Difficnlties.

itors of M. E. Costeilo, florist, was called

The F=l-orists' Exch?5Nge.
(89) Nicoteen.— What quantity of
nicoteen in liquid form eliould I use to
syringe roses, foliage plants and such
things suffering from green fly, to kill
the insects without iDJuring the foliage?
— K. A.
— Nicoteen as prepared for florists' use
may be used at the rate of one-half pint
to three gallons of water.
(90) Fertilizer for Carnation
Ground.— What is the best fertilizer, and
how much should be used on a piece of
ground 60 x 60 feet in which carnations
are to be grown for Summer blooming?
Cow manure has been used for 20 years,
and I want to make a change. — Sue.
— As a change from cow manure we
would prefer to use stable manure and a
good dressing of lime.
(91) Agapanthus Umbellatus. —
What treatment should be given to Aga-
panthus umbellatus when through
blooming?—!'. & Co.
— After the agapanthus are through
flowering, gradually lessen the amount
of water given, but do not dry them
down completely. After the plants have
partially rested, as it were, for about five
or six weeks, repot and start them
growing again.
(92) Planting Home Grounds. — I
inclose a sketch of my front yard which
I want to plant this Spring so as to make
it very attractive to passers-by. Will you
please tell me what and how to plant?—
F. S & Son.
— In a small front yard like the one
shown in the sketch there is no use in
trying to work out any particular design
in flower beds. The best thing to do is
to plant the space in an informal man-
ner, making beds a few feet wide, running
east and west, and planting each bed
with only one kind of flowering plants.
Massing kinds and colors iu this way
will prove far more attractive than
would any formal plan on such a small
scale.
(93) Insects on Roses. — I am both-
ered in my rose house with a little pest in
the shape of a gray crawling insect,
which Btayson thesoil; itcan jump also,
and is about A of an inch long. Of late
there have alsoappeared little flies, small
in body, with large wings. These insects
seem to sting the tender shoots of the
roses; but the plants are doing nicely.
I used lime water once. I have carna-
tions in the same house, both doing well.
Could you give me a remedy. Ventilation
has not been strictly attended to.—
C. A. P.
— From the description of the insects
given we could not say what they are,
but it is probable they have come from
the manure that has been used. If a
good dressing of lime be put on the soil
and the plants sprayed with an.v of the
tobacco extracts a few times, the insects
will soon disappear. Ventilation must
be carefully given; a too humid atmos-
phere is just the place for such insects to
multiply and thirve in.
(94) Commercial Carnations and
Average Cut. — Which are considered the
best commercial varieties of carnations
—white, pink and red ? What is the av-
erage cut of carnations for ioo square
feet of bench.— F. S. & Son.
— What would be the best varieties in
one locality might not be the best in
another, and for information on this
subject we cannot do better than advise
inquirer to keep close watch of the col-
umns of The FLoKrsTs' Exchange, as
these will give him all the information
relating to carnations. In the vicinity
of New York, White Cloud and Flora Hill
are considered the best whites, Mrs. T.
W. Lawson, Genevieve Lord, Morning
Glory, Mrs. James Dean and Mrs. Frances
Joost pink, and G. H. Crane for scarlet.
The average cut of carnations is gov-
erned by the same rule as applies to the
question anent roses, and any figures
given would only be misleading.
(95) An Average Rose Cut.— What
is an average cut of Perle, Bride and
Bridesmaid roses on 100 square feet of
bench ?— F. S. & Son.
— So much depend* apon the cultivator
and the style of houses that no exact
figures can be given.
(96) Carnation Flowers Cohering.
—What is the cause of my William Scott
carnation flowers refusing to open? The
plants are in perfect health and have
been given a night temperature of 45 to
50 degrees. Two weeks ago they started
to throw deformed flowers. — A Sub-
scriber.
—The use of artificial fertilizers to ex-
cess is sometimes responsible for the
arresting of the development of carna-
tion flowers in a manner similar to those
sent. There is also another cause, and
one which we believe induces the trouble
in the present instance, viz., that not
enough ventilation has been afforded the
house and the temperature in the day-
time has been allowed to run too high,
making too great an extreme between
the night and day temperatures. To
provide more air in the greenhouse will,
we believe, remedy the matter.
(97) G. H. Crane Carnation Dis-
eased.—1 inclose some diseased leaves of
carnations G. H. Crane. Please state the
trouble and remedy, it has attacked my
plants all Winter, and each flower stem
is blighted from its effects.— W. A.
— The carnation leaves are covered
with the disease called "leaf spot."
This is the result of a fungus that proba-
bly attacked the plants when removed
from the field to the greenhouse before
they were established. The period di-
rectly after the plants are benched until
they become rooted in the new soil is the
most critical in the life of the carnation,
and too much care cannot be given at
that time. The only remedyathand now
would be to pick off ever.v diseased leaf,
clean the surface of the beds thoroughly,
give a dusting of air-slacked lime over
both plants and bench, and try to get a
new and clean growth. If the plants
should be very badly affected, and as the
season is so far advanced, it might be
found more profitable to throw them out
and devote the space to Spring plants of
some kind or other. This, of course, the
owner of the diseased carnations only
can determine.
(98) Cuttings of Evergreens. — I wish
to root a lot of evergreens, such as
thujas, retiuosporas,juniperus,ete. When
should they be made.in order to be rooted
iu a frame before Winter? Do they root
easily in a frame where there Is no bot-
tom heat? — A Sdbscbibek.
—Though evergreens could probably
be struck from cuttings in a frame with-
out artificial heat, but few, if any, nurs-
erymen practice this method. Instead,
the.v make the cuttings in midwinter,
placing them in a warm greenhouse,
where they root fairl.y well by Spring.
But they are generally left in their boxes
undisturbed fora whole year before being
potted or planted out. If you could get
well-ripened young shoots in midsummer
and place in a frame, keeping well shaded,
the cuttings might root before Winter.
If they did not, it is notlikely the.v would
be of much account by Spring. Try this
plan, if you cannot command a green-
house in Winter. In a greenhouse, cut-
tings made in early Winter are often
sulHcientl.v rooted to transplant by
Spring.— Joseph Meeban.
(99) Preparation of Rose Soil. —
What would be the best way to prepare
proper rose soil for use by the 10th of
June? Would good grass land, well ma-
nured and plowed two or three times,
get decayed enough for use by that date,
plowed as soon as the ground is fit to
work now?— S. S. C.
—The best way to prepare the soil
would be to cut the turf from the grass
fleld 4 or 5 inches deep, according to the
quality, cart it to some convenient place
near the greenhouse, but in an exposed
position, and there make it into a heap,
first putting down a layer of soil, then
•% layer of manure, having the latter in
the proportion of one load to four of
soil. Make the heap about 414 feet high,
6 or 8 feet wide, and the length accord-
ing to the quantity required. Round the
heap at the top, so as to shed the rain
somewhat, and let it rest four or five
weeks. Then commence at one end nnd
turn over the whole lieap, scattering a
little lime over it as it is being turned.
The heap should have another turning
in a similar manner in the course of the
following two or three weeks, hut with-
out adding more lime. While being
turned, the pieces of turf or sod will be
■easily chopped to pieces with the spade,
though no effort should be made to chop
too small. This pile, when so treated,
should be in good condition to use at the
time stated.
The grass land treated according to
the suggestion offered by the inquirer
would make fairly good soil, but the
plan of making the soil Into a pile and
turning several times as given above is
to be preferred.
BRIEFS FOR BUSY FLORISTS.
Palms and other decorative plants will
be in fair demand for Easter, and this
stock should not be neglected while get-
ting iu the rush of flowering plants.
Roses in either pots or boxes will be
much benefited by applications of liquid
manure every four or five days.
Young caenations that are well estab-
lished in the flats may be put into cold
frames, and thus make room for Easter
stock. While the carnations are in the
frames they must not be neglected, or
they will soon become worthless; look
at them every day, paying just as much
attention to them as regards watering
and airing as was done while they were
on the greenhouse bench.
The Capsicum annuum, or variegated
pepper plant, proved quite an attractive
subject and sold well in the vicinity of
New York last season. Anyone wishing
to grow a few of these should get seeds
and sow them at once Very little care
is needed in the cultivation of this plant.
Sow the seed in flats and pot the young
plants when large enough to handle; re-
pot into larger sizes before the plants be-
come root-bound, and when warm
weather arrives plant outdoors in rich
soil, where they may stay until Septem-
ber, by which time the fruit will be well
set, when they can be lifted, potted, and
brought into the greenhouse.
Lancaster, N. Y.— One of the sights at
W. J. Palmer & Son's is the white sport
of Daybreak, well named Prollflca, It
being the most prolific carnation, with-
out exception, upon this place, unless we
include the two pink sports from Day-
break, each a distinct color. Mr. Myers,
the able grower here for 17 years, feels
proud of the record made by Prolifica.
One house, 150 x 25 feet, shows a total
from time of planting up to March 1 of
20,000. and all of good commercial size.
Mr. Palmerhasdecided to distribute these
three sports this season, hoping that
others will be as fortunate with them as
he has been. Daybreak is not so satis-
factory this season, but it will not be
discarded. Mrs. Frances Joost is fine.
The Marquis is doing well. G. H. Crane,
White Cloud, General Gomez, Olympia
and last, but; not by any means least,
are Mrs. George M. Bradt and Chicago.
Roses are in excellent shape, and con-
trary to general experience Bride aud
Bridesmaid arebetteron own roots than
grafted stock. "Meteor was discarded for
Liberty," says Barney, with a knowing
look, "and we have realized fully one-
tenth less the number of blooms. I have
yet to be convinced that Meteor will not
continue to be the more profitable of the
two." A house of American Beauty is in
fine shape for Easter. Marie Louise will
be discarded for Princess of Wales, the
bestsiugle violet yet introduced. I noted
a grand lot of La Reine and other tulips,
also some immense blooms of The Mar-
quis carnation held for the show at To-
ronto, but Will Mansfield, of Lockport,
who accompanied me, thought he had
some blooms fully equal to what we saw
here, as The Marquis is doing so well
with him. His lilies are grand; lie gives
as the reason that the bulbs were grown
in a cemetery in Bermuda— so he was told
by the drummer.
Saratoga, N. Y.— T. J. Totten is cut-
ting some first-class American Beauty
roses. His seedling carnation Young
America is not doing as well as was ex-
pected, and Mr. Totten is glad he did not
send it out before giving it a thorough
trial.
Albany, N. Y.— Fred A. Danker is well
pleased with the season's business. He
found sufficient timetodistribute a beau-
tiful calendar which, being a work of art,
has brought him a host of new patrons.
H. G. Rvres issued mnrethan one thou-
sand handsome calendars, showing one
of his specialties — the double violet. He
says he neverexpectedsuch an avalanche
of inquiries, and is well pleased with the
investment.
Wilkes Barre, Pa.— Ira G. Marvin re-
ports a first-class season and has high
hopes for a big Easter business.
Binghampton.N. Y.— Mrs. M.L. Barnes
is around again after a long siege. 'I'his
lady is one of our enthusiastic members,
and has read with great interest the re-
port of the Carnation Convention as
conveyed in The Exchange which is the
next best thing to attending the show.
Toronto. — Seldom does one see, even
among the most successful growers, all
kinds of stockina stateof perfection, and
John H, Dunlop is no exception to this
rule. His only poor stock is lilies, which
is accounted for in that he failed to
secure the famous churchyard brand.
Beyond this everything is first class, and
could not fail to gratify the most crit-
ical. The new range is a model of modern
construction, and those proposed for
erection next Summer are intended to be
yet finer — trussed roofs, withoutuprights
or partitions, and tile benches. It takes
just one-half of a dty to explore this in-
teresting plant, omitting a tour around
the 400-foot houses, which I contented
myself with, looking over from an eleva-
tion and surveying a perfect forest of
buds and fidiage of Bride, Bridesmaid,
Perle, Mrs. Pierpont Morgan, and Lady
Dorothea. American Beauty were too
tall, requiring a step-ladder to overlook
them. Those who saw the errand bunch
exhibited by Joseph Heacock at Balti-
more can imagine what kind of stock
our Canadian craftsman grows, when I
state that flowers similarto those of Mr.
Heacock could easily be cut from several
houses here. Meteor also is in splendid
shape. Mr. Dunlop shows his progres-
siveness in not riding his own hobby too
hard, so when he found that his pet seed-
ling carnation Ontario was eclipsed by
thatbeautiful white Glacier, out went On-
tario, and the famous introduction from
Cottage Gardens was installed in Bret
place; just as Morning Glory and Melba
have taken theplaceof his pink seedllngp.
The wisdom of the change has been
proved. Mrs. George M. Bradt, Olym-
pia, G. H. Crane, General Gomez, John
Young. White Cloud, Genevieve Lord and
Ethel Crocker (which has done well here).
The Marquis and Mrs. Thomas W. Law-
son about complete the list.
The propagating beds contain some
75,000 healthy cuttings of these kinds,
and in addition all the new ones of merit
will be tried in the experimental houses.
Mrs. Frances Joost is the only variety
that has not the size we are accustomed
to see it have across the border. Those
at Palmer's, for instance, produce blooms
almost twice as large. Here also the
Princess of Wales violet is superseding
the double kinds, owing to its large size,
long stem and fragrance.
The grafting of roses has become quite
an important branch, and a house of
ever.v kind grown, ready tor a shift into
3 inch pots, speaks well for future supply
— clean, thrifty stock upon which one
can bank on a sure crop, other condi-
tions being as favorable. Mr. Dunlop
has had some success with Liberty, and
is prepared to give it further trial ere
passing final judgment upon it.
Brampton, Ont.— The Dale estate claim
the banner for the longest houses, and
seemingly intend to keep ahead by erect-
ing this Spring four more houses, each
840 feet in length, which will give them
eight such structures without a parti-
tion, with trussed roofs, doing awa.v en-
tirely with uprights: gutters, 7feet; ridge,
12 feet, thus avoiding practically any
shade. The tile beds, like those alread.v
built, are 16 inches from the ground, and
carry a depth of but 4 inches of soil.
Bride, Bridesmaid and Mrs. Morgan do
finely, both grafted and on own roots.
I noticed a splendid batch of young stock.
Ed. Dale tells methey made a strike of 90
per cent, with grafts this Winter.
Carnations, for some reason, have not
done so well, but violets were never bet-
ter, and have been in good demand.
Prospects for a heav.v supply of both
roses and general stock at Easter are
gratifying.
Ottawa, Ont.— Charles Scrim vies
with New York in the culture of heaths,
several houses being devoted to them.
His grower, E. I. Mepsted, has gotten
them down to a fine point and never
has an excessive supply. Violets, both
double and single, are par excellence.
tjraham Bros, are sending out a ver.v
atiractivecataloeucas usual, and report
eood prospects for the seed Irade. Stock
in the houses is fully up to the high
standard attained by these successful
growers.
London, Ont.— J. Gammage & Sons
report a decided increase in both whole-
sale and retail branches. Stock has been
good and has brought satisfactory
prices. W. M.

Remarks on Roses and Carnations.
By B iijariiin Durfce (American fioit' Co.),
Wasbin^toti, D. C, he/ore the Chieago Flo-
rists' Club, March IS, 1901.
The American Rose Co. believes, speali-
ing strictly from a commercial stand-
point, that the carnation, no matter
how earnestly promoted, can never
supersede the rose. Omitting the poetic
and esthetic side of the question, they be-
lieve that more dollars can be coined out
of roses than out of carnations. But
this return cannot be secured by sticking
to chestnuts. Novelties in roses must be
carefully and systematically brought to
light. The very difficulty of securing
them should stimulate us. It is like hunt-
ing for gold and diamonds rather than
copper and quartz.
Nesv carnations are obtained with
greatest ease, in fact with such ease that
all too soon the field of profit will be
barren. New seedliugsspriug up around
you like the blades of wheat in Minne-
sota. Premiums and medals and certifi-
cates numberless are showered down fur
their size almost exclusively. They ap-
pear at the opening of the show swollen
to their largest proportions, and scarcely
have the judges by great alacrity made
the awards, when the blooms sleep the
"sleep that knows no waking." Is it not
patent to both grower and retailer how
valueless are such tests? What grower
desires to grow a carnation that his re-
tailer cries " sleepy " on? What retailer
desires to sell his customer such goods
to be returned with the saw teeth of
temper?
But I came among you to talk about
the rose. It is fair, I think to estimate
that the average retail florist requires
in his stock fully 75 per cent, of white
flowers. This applies with full force to
roses. To-day we have in general com-
merce but two white roses — Bride and
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, the Bride
asportfrom Catherine Mermet; Kaiserin
a seedling by P. Lambert, of Germany.
We were fortunate in being one of the
pioneers in the introduction of Kaiserin
Augusta Victoria. Let us analyze the
good and bad points of these two roses:
In the Bride we have during Winter a
large, fine white bud, with fairly good
foliage and free blooming, when well
grown, but apt to come knotty and de-
formed in bad weather, and liable to
have weak stems iu the hands of any but
the most skillful growers. This rose,
however, becomes very small when the
warm weather strikes it. It is a good
shipper and a fairly good keeper, but flat
and unshapely when wide open. It is
somewhat of a cropper, but may be well
classifled among the best of the ever-
blooming teas. It must, therefore, be
supplemented by a good white Summer
bloomer, and this you have in Kaiserin
Augusta Victoria, one of the most beau-
tiful of all roses. But it is not a good
shipper, nor is it a good Winter bloomer
except in far southern climates. It has
a tendency to black spot, and it is not
quite rapid enough in its growth, nor
quite free enough of bloom.
I might possibly add to these the
White Manian Cochet, the use of which
for outdoor cut is developing in the East.
With the two roses, however, the Horist
can cover the entire year fairly well.
Consequently what the grower is in
need of is a good all-the-year-round
white rose, and this, we are convinced
from a five years' test, will be found in
the White Golden Gate.
But let me give you ourestimate of the
qualities which a rose should possess in
order to be a commercial florist's rose.
Ft is very difficult to name in order of
importance the many necessary elements;
but if it had every otherquallflcation and
was a shy bloomer, it would be utterly
worthless to the commercial grower. I
do not believe we ought to go outside of
the strictly pure tea rose unless we are
compelled to do so. Almost every hybrid
tea retains too much of the spirit of rest
which flows in the blood of the hybrid
perpetual. But the tea rose is like you
Western florists— you hustlers of the uni-
verse, you active, progressiv eelements of
our profession, to whom I have come
800 miles to make my bow. Your Kein-
bcrgs and Bassetts and Washburns, your
Wietors and Weilands, and the hundreds
of others who within a decadehave piled
more florists' glass over the earth than
can be found eastof the Alleghanies. Like
you Western florists, the tea rose never
rests, and should be your handmaiden.
But to return to our estimate of the
necessary qualifications of a white rose,
and they are freedom of bloom; good
shipping and keeping qualities; thick,
leathery petals; erect, long stems; large
flowers the year through; rapid, but not
soft growth; freedom from black spot;
strong root action; fragrance; good
color; no hybrid blood in its veins. These
are the general and most important re-
American Beauty, but that it is neither
more fragrant nor better colored, but is
simply equal to American Beauty in all
respects. I ask why those two elements
should be allotted 15 points? Why, in a
white rose, should color be assigned 20
points? This might bea correct propor-
tion of points of color in regard to pink
or red or yellow, but the line of demarca-
tion in white isnot « pronounced charac-
teristic. When the Catherine Mermet
sported into Bride what governed your
judgment? Would anybody have grown
Brifie if it had been a shy bloomer? And
.vet that quality did not figure in the
scale of points. It, therefore, seems as
though the judges should not be barred
from using their judgment, nor be com-
pelled to pro rate the percentages accord-
ing to a fixed standard.
The consideration of the Bride leads
inevitably to the great distinction that
should be made between a seedling and a
sport, especially if the sport is from a
standard commercial variety of many
years' standing whose every good and
know its qualities both good and bad.
Perhaps a few historical words about
Golden Gate, its characteristics, etc.,
may interest you. Golden Gate was in-
troduced to the trade, I think, about
1890 or 1891 by Dingee & Conard, of
West Grove, I'a. It is said to have cnme
out of Safrano crossed with Cornelia
Cook, although there are some sugges-
tions in the foliage of Niphetos blood.
The characteristics of Cornelia Cook pre-
dominate in nearly every element of
growth and bloom, although it repro-
duces much more rapidly than its parent.
It has a strong tendency to break from
the base, and these canes, if allowed to
bloom unchecked, produce enormous
flowers. For many years, however, we
have treated these growths as you would
a chrysanthemum. When the shoot has
reached a height of about 30 inches, we
disbud by breaking off about four or
flve inches of the top. From two to six
side shoots will then quickly break, as
the flow of sap is very active, and the
flowersexhibited hereof the White Golden

quirements, and they are rarely to be met
with assembled in any one variety.
.Some of the most necessary of these
(lualiflcations can only be discovered by
an investigation of the growing plant,
by personal Inspection and custody of
flower and plant for a long period of
time. Consequently in a competitive ex-
hibit the scale of points fails to cover
such vital commercial elements as the
keeping and shipping quality; freedom
of bloom; habitof growth; freedomfrom
disease.
From the commercial standpoint free-
dom of bloom would seem to be entitled
to the most points, with keeping and
shipping qualities a close second. And
this brings me to the point of emphasiz-
ing tlie necessity of close observation of
the growing plants when forming judg-
ment of a novelty rose. Take, for illus-
tration, the scale of points formulated
by the American Kose Society tor novel-
ties: Size 10. color 20, 8teml5, substance
10, foliage 15, fragrance 5, distluctive-
ness 10, total 100. As a commercial
grower of roses under glass for cut
flowers, we wlllsuppose thefact is proven
to you that a certain novelty produces
twice as many flowers during the period
from December 15 to Februrary 15 as
bad characteristic is known to the pro-
fession. In the case of a seedling many
of the defects may be concealed by the
introducer. He may succeed in winning
the whole gamut of gold and sliver
medals and certificates, and yet palm
upon the purchaser a very unprofitable
rose. The size, color, fragrance, stt^m,
form, substance, foliage, distinctiveness
may be of perfect standards, and thus
yield 100 on the scale of points, but
where will the grower be If the product
of flowers is of the smallest, or the
sleepy jade cannot be roused by any
stimulating influences in Winter, or If
black spot skins off the 100 per cent, of
grand foliage, leaving nothing but the
100 per cent, flower at the end of the 100
per cent, stem? Not so. however, with
a Bi)ort from a standard variety, such as
I have alluded to. Vou start out with a
thorough knowledge of all its traits both
good and had. Thus we know that the
Bride, like its parent, produces a very
smnll flower during themoiith of .May to
November; that it has a tendency to prod-
uce weakstemsand much blind wood, etc.
So with the White Golden Gate, it has
the characteristics of the Golden Gate
from which It 8i)orted flve years ago;
and those of you who grow Golden Gate
Gate are all from side shoots, or, as you
say in chrysanthemum I re, the terminal
buds.
Of course, when I describe Golden Gate
I describe White Golden (iate, for thetwo
are identical in every way except color.
For our commercial purposes these buds
are of ample size.
The result of disbudding, you will
readily perceive, is a very larte crop of
good, standard-sized flowers. The plants
are grown on benches in from 2V-2 to 3
inches of soli, top-dressed with a mulch
half manure, hair soil, twice during the
season, and fed after tlie first of .lanuary
with ordinary mniiure water. They are
grown (m their own roots, altltongli Mr.
lienter, of Westerly, IM.. and Mr. I'ierson,
of Cromwell, ('onn., used grafts in prefer-
ence; hut I see no need for grafted stock
when tlieown rootsareso very vigorous.
Tile Golden Gate hashad a hard strug-
gle, but to-day It stands the peer of any
tea rose incoiiinierclal use. With this fact
established, however, there must always
be a limited demand in this country of
high colors for the dainty jiorcelaln col-
oring of Ciolden Gate; but the demand
for White Golden Gate must necessarily
be enormous, as it will very (luickly dis-
place all other commercial whites.

The Pi-ORiSTS* Exchange.
The American Rose Society's Annual Meeting
and Exhibition
NEW YORK, MARCH 19, 20, 21, 22
The Becoud annual meetiug of the
Amerieau Kose Society was held in the
colonial room of the Waldorf-Astoria
Hotel, Mew York, on Wednesday after-
noon, March 20, ^'resident Benjamin F.
JJorrance in the chair. There was a fair at-
tendance, with a goodly sprinkling of
ladies, including several of the patron-
esses of the exhibition, who seemed to en-
joy the proceedings Immensely In which
they actively participated. They were
charmed by the outspokenness of the
rose men.
In his valedictory remarks the presi-
dent referred to the good work done by
the Kose Society, and congratulated
the association upon the success of the
present exhibition as a show.
Associate Membehship Abolished.
The several amendments to the consti-
tution and by-laws referring to associate
membership were discussed, and It was
finally agreed to abolish this class of
membership entirely.
A Sinking Fund.
Provision was made for a separate or
sinking fund, the interest of which only
is to be used for the purposes of the so-
ciety, to be vested in a board of trus-
tees, not less than five, to be elected at
the annual meeting. The following gen-
tlemen were elected on that board for the
ensuing year: Messrs. B. F. Borrance,
John N. May, Henry ClewB.Cari Stoeckel
and John H. Taylor.
Treasurer's Report.
The report of the treasurer , John N.
May, Summit, N. J., showed a balance in
favor of the society of over $2,500.
Secretari's Report.
Secretary Barron reported 205 mem-
bers in good standing, a gain of 36 mem-
bers during the year, with 39 life mem-
bers. The show held in June last. In
New York, resulted in a fairly satisfac-
tory display, but the attendance was
email, which, together with other con-
tingences, made the holding of a June
show in New York, under similar circum-
stances, a doubtfulproceeding. It wasln-
tended to publish in a forthcoming bull-
etin Dr. Halsted's illustrated lecture on
"Diseases of the Kose,"delivered last year.
A bulletin treating on the "Growing of
Uoses by the Use of Commercial Fertil-
izers," Issued by the Indiana Experiment
Station, had been secured for the mem-
bers of the society. Mrs. Richard Irvin
had been appointed a vice-president. It
was hoped the society's medal would be
given at the several roseshows occurring
throughout the country. The h. p. rose
Wm. McKinley had been registered with
the society, and the secretary suggested
that some action be taken with regard
to registration of new varieties, so as to
cooperate with the S. A. F. O. U.
(Later on In the course of the proceed-
ings, and after a lengthy discussion, on
motion of Mr. Taylor, it was decided that
the secretary refer all registration of
new roses to the S. A. F. O. H.)
The secretary also suggested a change
In the date of the installaton of officers,
which now occurs on the January suc-
ceeding the annual meeting. Mr. Taylor
gave notice of a motion to change the
date to the 1st of July in each year,
such motion to be acted upon at a special
meeting to be held in connection with
the society's Summer show.
Election of Officers.
The election of officers resulted as
follows:
President, F. R. Newbold, Poughkeep-
sie; vice-president, Carl Stoeckel, Nor-
folk, Conn.; secretary, Leonard Barron
(reelected); treasurer, John N. May, (re-
elected). Messrs. E. M. Wood and Robert
Craig were reelected members of the Ex-
ecutive Committee.
The Ladies Thanked.
A rising vote of thanks was tendered
to the ladies tor their arduous and suc-
cessful work In connection with the pres-
ent exhibition.
June Show at Newport, R. L
On motion of Henry A. Siebrecht, the
society is to hold its June show at New-
port, il. I., and if possible In conjunction
with the Newport Horticultural Society.
It was announced that Mrs. Burke-
Roche had kindly tendered the use of her
grounds to the Newport society for the
purposes of its exhibition; and that lady,
together with Mrs. Irvin and Mrs.Storrs
Wells, were appointed a committee to
ascertain the Newport society's views
on the subject of a cooperative show.
The March, 1902, Show.
E. M. Wood invited the society to hold
Its show next March in the city of Bos-
ton, guaranteeing all expenses and an
exhibition equal to any in the United
States. [Applause.] Quite a discussion
followed upon this invitation. We give
the discussion in full, as showing the
opinions existing among the members re-
garding the society's annual main show,
as follows :
John H. Taylor: I think this society
Is more or less In its Infancy, and practi-
cally this is the first show of any magni-
tude we have held. The officers and Ex-
ecutive Committee of this association
appreciate what It is to get certain lines
working so that we may carry out that
which we have undertaken. I think, as
long as this Influence Is around, that it
would be a mistake to accept Invitations
from outside cities before we can go
there in a way that Instead of crawling
we would be able to walk. For that
reason I think, gentlemen (and I will
makethls as a motion), that we have our
next March show In New York City.
[Applause.]
Robert Craig, Philadelphia: I was
about to second Mr. Taylor's motion. I
will take occasion to say that I think
New York City Is the place for the next
show. We appreciate, of course, the
offer of the Boston people to entertain
us there and to give us a hall for our ex-
hibition, but I cannot help thinking, and
I feel those present will agrte with me,
that we have made a grand start here in
New York, and it would be a risky expe-
riment to take the exhibition to any
other city. We have now secured the
support of very influential people here.
They have manifested a very kindly inter-
est In us, and have worked for the suc-
cess of this show ; they have made it a
great success. I think we should make
a grave error It we should go to any
other city next year. In fact, if I were
to voice what 1 believe, I would say that
New York City Is the place for a perma-
nent exhibition of this society. In Eng-
land, the National Rose Society has at-
tained great Influence; It Is a great edu-
cational institution, having a member-
ship throughout the whole of Great
Britain. They find there that they can
do better by having their rose show
every year In London, which Is thecenter
of Great Britain, as New York Is the
metropolis of this country. In any event,
whether we shall permanently stay In
New York City or not. In my opinion it
Is a question as to whether we should go
away from New York next year. 1 there-
fore hope we shall have a unanimous
vote to remain here. [Applause.]
Mr. Wood: I would like to ask Mr.
Craig If that applies with reference to
Newport. [Laughter.]
Mr. Craig: 1 look upon Newport as
simply a suburb of New York; we are
practically In New York when we go to
Newport. [Applause.]
Mr. Siebrecht: I also believe that a
permanent show should be held In New
York — that the March show should
always be held here. It seems to me
there Is nothing whatever In our consti-
tution and by-laws that prevents Bos-
ton ;or Philadelphia or any other city
tiolding a rose exhibition at about the
same time as we do; or they can vary
the date, so that we could attend under
the auspices of this society. We will, as
a society, always have to support all
these branch exhibitions. We should not
ask It all, and I am willing, and think it
perfectly feasible, that other cities hold
shows under the protection of the parent
society. I do not want our friends and
members from other cities and centers of
this great country to feel that we are
selfish in the matter; still New York is
the place to hold the show.
Mr. Wood: In speaking of Boston,
Boston Is the second largest community
in the United States [cries of "Oh! oh!
what aboutChlcago?"], taking a 50-mile
radius. It has 2,800,000 people. Its
earning capacity Is 70c. per capita; that
of all the rest of the communities Is only
40c. We have 85 per cent, more where-
with to pay for luxuries than any other
community In America. Talk about
Boston ! We can make as good a rose
show In Boston as you can in New York.
We had finer roses in the exhibition of the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society this
week than you have here in this Waldorf-
Astoria. [Applause.] Talk about New
York ! You are in it to a certain extent,
and you are not In it. We can give as
good a show next year in as good a hall,
and better than you have In New York;
and we have got the people that will pay
to come to see It. Now, you can accept
the invitation to go to Boston or you
can be selfish enough to keep the exhibi-
tion in New York. I think, however, the
latter course would be a mistake. You
may think you can make New York a
center; but If you attempt It I say you'll
make a great mistake. You have got to
go to Boston, to Philadelphia, and to
Chicago, that great, growing, giant city
of the West. [Applause.] I hope we shall
have the exhibition in Boston some time.
Of course, we have got to abide by the
majority decision.
E. G. Hill: I would say it is a
question of policy just now, not one of
expediency. What is for the best good of
this society is the thing we want to act
upon, and act on in an Intelligent man-
ner. Before I came to New York I
thought that this society should move
its exhibitions from one city to the other,
and I still think so. But I am a little like
Abraham Lincoln— I do not think it is
good policy to swap horses when cross-
ing a stream. [Laughter.] The society
is going through a crucial time just now,
and taking all the circumstances into
consideration, and looking at the mat-
ter from different standpoints, I think
we would make a serious mistake were
we not to hold the next March show In
the city of New York. I am heartily in
favor of doing so, and I hope we shall
have a unanimous vote on the subject.
There has been one thing foreshadowed.
1 don't think we ought to take action as
to the future. Mr. Craig's remarks fore-
shadowed that wemight stay In the city
of New York permanently. I think that
would be a mistake. We want to can-
vass our membership. We want to en-
thuse the people in different sections of
the country. I am of the opinion that
we could put up a pretty good rose show
in the West. A good many American
Beauty are grown around Chicago, and
the Stateof Indiana [cries: "That Is Chi-
cago!"] has gotten to be quite a noted
place for the production of fine roses, and
we would like to have you come west at
the proper time. But, as I said before, I
am in favor of holding the show next
year in the city of New York. [Applause.]
New York City was finally chosen, with
a few dissenting voices.
It was here decided to continue the
show during Friday and make the price
of admission a popular one — 50c.
Messrs. Withers, Langjahr and Wallace
were appointed a Committee on Adver-
tising.
The Scale of Points.
Benj. Durfee, of the American Rose
Company, made a few comments on the
present scale of points, showing the great
need of the American Rose Society doing
everything in Its power to further the
rose growers' Interests, so that they may
keep ahead of the carnatlonist, whose
products Mr. Durfee facetiously charac-
terized In some of their features as " bub-
bles "in comparison with the queen of
flowers. He said that judges might fairly
apply the scale to exhibits, but when
medals and certificates had been award-
ed these would carry but little weight
with the intelligent grower and retailer,
because the scale failed to take into con-
sideration the necessary conditions of
freedom of bloom, keeping and shipping
qualities, health and vigor. He thought
Some plan might be possible of accom-
plishment whereby these points could be
covered; that locality committees might
be created, the introducer paying the cost
of personal investigation at differen t peri-
ods. Or it might be practicable to have
an independent scale dealing with the
qualities in question.
Mr. May believed the society was steer-
ing a little too close on the point system,
and mentioned one particular case where
he believed injustice had been done an
exhibitor.
Paul M. Pierson considered Mr. Durfee's
proposition almost Impracticable, as It
was Impossible to ascertain exactly the
points in question. The personal factor,
the method of treatment, and other
things rendered an adequate and just
judgment on growth, vigor, keeping and
shipping qualities beyond the ability of
any set of judges. Theoretically the
suggestions were all right, but they
could not be carried out In practice.
On the suggestion of the Chair, the
matter of revision of the scale of points
was left In the hands of the Executive
Committee. The meetiugthen adjourned.
THE EXHIBITION.
The second annual show of the Ameri-
can Rose Society opened on Tuesday
last with tremendous &lat, In the Wal-
dorf-Astoria Hotel. On this day a gen-
eral admission fee of $5 was charged, and,
as may be imagined, the visitors to the
show, were mainly from the upper circles
of New York's society leaders. Several
rooms of this spacious hostelry were
used for the arranging of the exhibits.
The myrtle room contained the mirror
and mantel creations, made-up baskets
of flowers and one arbor for a wedding
decoration. There werealso a few plants
of Adiantum Farleyense from A. Herring-
ton In this room, splendid specimens of
this beautiful fern. Here also, and In the
adjoining room, the Astor Gallery, were
the exhibits of cut roses.
The competition in the American
Beauty class was keen, there being sev-
eral vases of elegant blooms staged. In
the Bride and Bridesmaid classes the
quality of the flowers shown did not
equal the high standard on display at
the corresponding show of last year. A
few grand bunches of Liberty were In evi-
dence, also a vase each of Robert Scott,
Florence Pemberton, White Golden Gate
and Sarah Nesbltt. All the roses were
staged quite near the floor; they show
to much better advantage in this way
than when tables are used.
Around the sides of the Astor Gallery
were several fine groups of decorative
plants, collections of orchids from Lager
&Hurrel and Julius Roehrs, an exhibit of
the Queen of Edgely rose, a fioral bed —
an iron bedstead, mossed and filled with
roses. The Bronx Botanical Garden had
a nicely arranged collection of cacti,
and rare plants of many kinds reaching
entirely across one end of the gallery.
W. A.Manda staged a group of decora-
tive plants, embracing many of beautiful
foliage, also some cut blooms of the
Cherokee rose.
In the west foyer was a table decora-
tion of ferns and Bridesmaid roses done
by J. H. Small & Sons, a plant of the new
Pandanus Sanderi, shown by Henry A.
Dreer, Philadelphia, also a large show-
case containing the many valuable tro-
phies competed fOB, and a mirror effect
by Robert Kift, showing his fairy vase
holders.
In the grand ball room the so-called
Italian garden was located. The center
floor space was surrounded by an irregu-
lar hedge of tall cedar trees that reached
high enough to hide much of the beauty
of the elaborate woodwork of the tier of
boxes. This "pleached hedge" was
draped at the entrance with beautiful
sprays of Bougainvillea spectabllis, and
made but a poor background for this
rich-colored flower. The center of the
inclosed space was laid out with four
beds, two of which were filled with roses,
one with hyacinths and lily of the valley,
and one with a miscellaneous lot of aza-
leas, lilies, tulips, etc. On the stage a
pagola was erected; this was In semi-
circular form. On the top of the pillars
was built a trellis work similar to an
old-fashioned vine arbor. This trellis
was plentifully hung with Southern smi-
lax, interspersed with Bougainvillea
Sanderi and electric lights. Around the
inner side of the pleached hedge were
placed beautiful pots of Crimson Rambler
roses, while in the corners were groups
of gardenias, lilac. Marguerites, double
flowering cherries, rhododendrons, aza-
leas and bougainvilleas.
The corridor formed by the pleached
hedge and the outer walls of the room
was ornamented by many fine pieces of
statuary, and where light enough was
afforded carnations were grouped. In
one corner was a miniature garden, pre-
sumably of Japanese design. This Itallo-
Perslco-Dutch garden seemed to be great-
ly admired by the society people, but the
up-to-date floral artist could learn but
little from it, from a business point of
view, to meet the requirements of his
business In this hustling twentieth cen-
tury.
From the Italian garden opened the
conservatory In which the carnation ex-
hibits were arranged. The quality of the
flowers shown here was elegant, and this
room was one of the most attractive
parts of the whole show at all times.

venient factor.
Spring Exhibition Mass.Hort Society.
The annual Spring show now (Wednes-
day) going on at Horticultural Hall is
fully up to the standard ot former years.
Just inside the entrance were two
bunches ot 100 mixed carnations, ar-
ranged in the society's large vases, one
from M. A. Patten, the other from Peter
Fisher, while farther along were two
others in the same class from F. A. Blake
and Colonel Charles Ptaff. Mr. Patten
won first prize, Mr. Blake second, and
Colonel Pfatf third. The carnations
shown in the class tor 25 blooms of spe-

been staged at the hall. Especially is
this true of a magnificent vase of Magna
Charta from Colonel Charles Pfatf. E.
M. Wood & Co. '8 roses were of a very
high quality and captured the lion's
share of the prizes. In their vase of
Bride was one of enormous proportions,
measuring when comparatively in bud
seven Inches in diameter, the petals four
inches deep, resembling more a very fine
Cornelia Cook than Bride.
Hybrid perpetuals were finely shown
by Mrs. A. W. Spencer, who won first for
]2 blooms and second for six blooms,
and by Colonel Charles Pfatf. Dlrich
Brunner were finely staged also by E. M.

Sim captured both prizes, staging some
fine blooms. N. F. Comley won the pre-
mium for any other variety with a good
bunch of Neapolitan.
James E. Rothwell captured the silver
medal tor a collection of orchids of not
less than 20 bottles.
In this lower hall quite a display of
vegetables was made.
In the upper hall the sight was gor-
geous, rendered so by the many hues of
the Spring flowers, cinerarias, cyclamen,
etc., massed.
John Barr, gardener to Mrs. B. P.
Cheney, showed a magnificent lot of cy-
clamen plants. The Bussey Institute,
Harvard Botanic Garden, Dr.C. G. Weld,
Mrs. J. L. Gardner, Wm. S. Ewell & Son
all made extensive displays of Spring
bulbous flowers, cinerarias, primulas,
cyclamen, etc.

Bayard Thayer won both first and sec-
ond prizes with a fine pair of Cattleya
TrianiB well flowered.
Among the novelties shown was an
exhibit of a new rose. Gold Ophir, from
Anson Phelps Stokes, of Lenox. The
flower was of a handsome shade of yel-
low at the center, shading to rich old
gold at the edge of the petals. From the
same place came a pan ot Asparagus
Sprengeri compacta. F. J. N.
Buffalo.
Trade Ne^vg.
On some days here a fair trade is
doing; others are decidedly dull.
The weather has been quite too vary-
ing In all degrees of style to favor any
steady outdoor movements in shopping
ways. Tuesday this week was milli-
nery opening day with a number of stores,
calling tor some loaning ot plants; and
in cases a free giving away of flowers
helped to make a certain call tor some
stock at low prices.
Here and There.
Interest in the Pan-American exhi-
bition grows apace and dally even in in-
clement weather. The carrying over win-
ter of a number of car loads of large-
sized palm stock from Calitornla is inter-
esting in its process of maintaining a
temperature below 45 degrees in tempo-
rary well overhead-lighted structures.
This stock, which is under the care of C.
H. Sierman, will ably help out the strong
ornamental outdoor effects. Brahea fili-
mentosa in plants from 0 to 10 feet
high are prominent, as also are chama--
rops and phnenix.

mer, left Monday to attend the Rose

KUMIOAXING COMF»OUND.
From " Amisbican Gardening," January 12, 1901.
To THE Editor of Ajierican Gardening:
Some enquiries liaving been latel.v adflreesed asltins it I could recommend
the use of ttie recentl.v introduced fumiirating extract " Nicoticide," tbe follow-
ing particulars are offered : We first tried it at the advertised strength on a
house of Gardenias ; all the mealj- bugs and aphis were killed.
We placed some tender plants in the house to note its effect, and found
that young fronds on Adiantums Cuneatum and Farle.yenae sustained injury;
no other plants suffered at all. We next tried it on" two dormant lean-io
graperies which had figs on the back walls; the latter harbored some menlv
bug, but we have not found a living bug since the fumigation. Our only otheV
trial was on a house of violets which contained a little red spider and green
aphis; both of these were killed outright, while plants were uninjured.
So far as our experiments have gone, mealy buir, black and green aphis,
and red spider have been killed, and the only injury done was to the a<liantum
fronds named. Nikoteen " Aphis Punk " while safe to use on almost all classes
of plants, will injureadiantums somewhat. We believe " .N'icoticide'' will prove
a valuable addition to our fumigating compounds. Of course further experi-
ence is needed, but it is cheaper and much safer to use than hydrocyanic gas,
which has recently found much favor as an Insect destroyer.
North Easton, Mass. W. N. CRAIG.
Ithaca. New York, January 29, 1901.
The Tobacco Warehousing and Traiji.ng Co.,
Gentlemen :— I received from your warehouse some time ago a sample of
"Nicoticide" (Fumigating Compound) for trial, and to report the result. I
have tried it on Coleus. with mealy bug ; killed nil the voung ones, a few <>t the
old ones not quite dead. It killed green fly on Easter i.ilies, killed white fly on
Pelargoniums, and red spider on roses.
The following plants were in the house in flower when vaporized— Cycln- ;2
mens, Primulas, Fuchsias, Begonias, also a plant of Adiantum Cuneatum — :^
without the least damage to flowers or foliage. I think if the house had been ^^
air-tight, likely all of the mealy bug would have been killed. ^S
I think it will prove a valuable insecticide, especially for those having :^
greenhouses attached to the dwellings. Yours very truly, -^

Gentlemen;— In reply to yours of the 2l8t inst., can say that we have ^
given your " Nicoticide" a complete trial, and are happy to say that we think ^m
it is the most effective and easy applied insecticide we know of. We have found _«
it does not injure the plants in the least, even if u.^ied very strong. :^
Enclosed please find check for one dozen cans which kindly send as soon as -^
possible. Yours truly, -^

Montreal. — S. S. Bain finds Golden
Gate a good rose, which is becoming
very popular; he intends growing it ex-
tensively in the new range of houses, in
which are some of the finest in the Do-
minion. Had he seen the grand white
sport of this variety as shown by the
American Rose Co. at Baltimore recent-
ly, he would doubtless form a very high
opinion of it, he being an excellent judge
and critic.
P. McKenna & Son are perpetuating a
double white polyantha or Fairy rose,
obtained from a packet of seed. It is a
fine variety for Christmas. The plant is
very tree and the flowers fragrant. Next
year we shall doubtless hear more o( it,
as others wtU try to raise some. W. M.

Pruning was tbe very seasonable topic
presented by J. C. Williams, ot tbe Chest-
nut Hill Nurseries, Montclair, before the I
Mew Jersey Floricultural Society at the i
regular monthly meeting on March ti.
The illustration by diagrams and actual
plants greatly increased the interest.
Mr. Williams selected the grape for spe-
cial discussion and the KuiBen or re-
newal method as that in more general
use. Mr. Williams said in substance: The
gardener should give a satisfactory rea-
son tor everything he does, and thus
would the haphazard and mutilating
methods of pruning be checked. Of first
Importance is the planting ot the young
vine — six to eight feet apart In good rich
soil, and securely tied to a stout stake.
All laterals should be pinched, concen-
trating growth to one stalk, and unless
the vine has made unusual growth the
first year, pinch back to two buds. At
the end ot the second season it Is ready
tor the trellis, constructed with stout
posts firmly set and well braced. The
leader from the lower bud of last year
should be tied to the lower wire, and the
other to the upper wire, and then should
be bent to a horizontal position, present-
ing a forked-like figure. The vine is now
ready tor fruiting. From these upright
or perijendiculars two shoots will start
from each bud; rub off the weaker bud.
It grown strongly cut off superfluous
growth during Summer, as this tends to
larger leaf growth and finer development
of fruit. No system can be laid down for
the oilier and neglected vine, for this is a
different matter and may require several
years to perfect. The same principles
are, however, to be observed. To keep
the vine in healthy and vigorous growth
should be the aim of the cultivator, and
various insects and other enemies muft
be understood and fought. This treat-
ment must be renewed each year. The
greatest labors, however, to the gardener
are the spraying and fighting necessary
to successfully combat the attacks ot ene-
mies, and this begins before the leaveg
start and is repeated three, tour and fivs
times through the season. Baggine
should be employed wherever possible.
Young wood is essential to good fruit.
In the pruning ot shrubs the spirfea Is
commonly cut oft like a broom — let it
alone now, but trim slightly in Summer.
(. VI r. Williams owns a spirtea 25 years old,
six feet through, whii h he values above
a thousand sheared plants.)
Mr. Williams called upon (Jeorge Smith
for his method in trimming everbloom-
Ing roses, also hybrids. Mr. Smith said
that much depended upon the strength
ot the wood; President t'arnot, left out,
dies back to the protection. Trim one-
halt or more and it will do well. The tea
roses will be found with exposed wood
all dead; remove only the dead wood,
cut according to the strength ot the
plant, and In the Spring after starling.
Discussion followed upon tree pruning
when plantiugis performed, whether tor
orchard or forest trees, many claiming
that the exposed cut is a source ot more
injury than no cutting at all, and that It
is safest to leave full length until Spring.
Mr. Williams thought it depended on
whether the roots were dormant or not
when moved.
In the business preceding the topic tor
the evening, provision was made to con-
tinue the work of the school children, so
successfully conducted last year— that Is,
to distribute plants in May and appro-
priate staging at the competitive exhibi-
tion of the society in November. Five
new volumes were added to the library
and one new member elected.

The first flower show of the Horticul-
tural Society for this year was held on
Thursday, March 14, and was the finest
ever given by the society. Primula ob-
conica were grand large plants in 7-Inch
pots. P. sinensis were also nice. The cine-
rarias were tbe best I ever saw. Cycla-
men were of the giant size, flowers over
;i inches across. Ot hyacinths, narcissus,
tulips and azaleas there were small ex-
hibits, but the flowers were first class.
A display ot nine varieties ot carnation
blooms, of glaut size, was a feature of
the show.
The next show will be held April 18.

Trade Notes.
The florists' trade has been rather
quiet for several weeks past until within
the past weels or ten days. A noticeable
improvement is now manifest, and de-
spite the inclemency of the weather since
the first of the month, good trade is now
doing, and just at this writing is stimu-
lated with an unusual amount of funeral
work. Orders in tbisline, and good ones,
too, have been coming in freely and quite
exhaust the supply of choice flowers; in
fact, everything in cut blooms finds a
quick sale, and choice stock more par-
ticularly is much sought after.
Wholesale dealers report a complete
cleaning up each day, and some days they
find difliculty in securing enough stock
to fill their orders. Cut-flower trade is
brisk, and this draws largely on the lim-
ited supply of flowers and has a tendency
to strengthen prices somewhat. Withal
trade is in a very healthy condition, and
all indications point toward a continu-
ance of these conditions right along until
Easter week.
Prices.
. Present market prices are very firm,
and while there is no immediate change
looked for, it is not at all probable that
the market will show any decline until
the Blaster period is long past. Koses
are in good condition, and f 4 to ?10 the
rates obtaining; carnations hold at $2
to $4. Roman hyacinths, tulips. Paper
White narcissus, daffodils bring $2, $3 and
$4. Violets are plentiful and fetch 50c. and
75c. perlOO; lily of thevalley $3 and $4.

Floral Tributes at ex -President Harrison's
Funeral.
A few memorable days have come
and gone lor Indianapolis. The great
statesman and ex-President lies in our
beautiful Crownhill Cemetery, his grave
hidden under many choice arrangements
of flowers. The services were very sim-
ple, the weather the most favorable, sun-
shine and balmy Spring air, streets
crowded with citizens and strangers, the
military display extraordinary on such
short notice. The church was decorated
in black and white trimmings with a few
flags and palm groups. In the State
Capitol, where the body lay one day, the
decorations were of black with a great
display of flags. Palms and other plants
were furnished by the State Institution
greenhouses and were arranged suitably.
At the house many choice cut flowers
were received continuously ; most of the
friends had their floral offerings delivered
Sunday morning, while the majority of
larger pieces were grouped about the
casket on Saturday in the Capitol. All
flowers and arrangements of same were
in charge of Walter Bertermann, assisted
by Clarence Thomas. It took considera-
ble work and good judgment to have
everything satisfactory and on time, not
mentioning the fact about what flowers
should get the place of honor, etc.
The majority, of floral tributes were
crescent wreaths, full wreaths and flat
bunches; there were also many loose
flowers. Among the larger pieces were a
broken column, with shield resting
against it; a large handle basket with
azalea plantsand Bermuda lilies; alarge
lyre with golden trumpets from the Chi-
nese Masonic lodge; alarge easel design
with a G. A. E. monogram, and a small
standing cross. Among the wreaths the
following showed up very beautifully:
one from President McKlnley, composed
of Golden Gate roses, white carnations,
and callas, large bow of lavender ribbon,
background of cycas, other palm leaves
and asparagus. Mr. Pflster sent a
wreath of laurel leaves and orchids; John
Wanamaker one of orchids, lily of the
valley and violets. Others were com-
posed of heaths and orchids. Meteor roses,
American Beauty, and violets; violets
and lily of the valley; white lilac and
violets, etc. Among the flat bunches,
one of Mrs. George M. Bradt carnations
was very elegant. In thecemetery all the
flowers were arranged over the lot and
guarded day and night, as it was with
difBculty that the thousands of people
were prevented from taking everything
in sight for souvenirs.
Mr. Pflster, of Washington, D. C, while
in the city, stayed with Anthony
Wiegand.

The Market.
Business remains very quiet. Roses
are very pientiful. Ulricli Brunner and
American Beauty are moving much more
Biowly, the best grade now malting $5
per dozen. Bride and Bridesmaid are
very plentiful aud remain at about the
game prices. Meteor and Liberty do
pretty vpell, as do Ulrich Brunner, which
are coming In ol good quality. Best
frade of the latter realize $20 to ?25 per
00, with smaller grades down to $8.
The first of the new crop of Souvenir du
President Carnot are arriving rather
light In color, but wth good stems; the
flowers sell pretty well at J-t to ?6 i)er
100.
Carnations continue a little short of
the demand, and prices hold up pretty
well. Best grade of ordinary sorts bring
$2.50, while seconds malje $1..'50, shorts
selling at $1. Fancies and good quality
of the newer varieties realize $3 to $4.
Good white liinds are in demand and
clean up early at $3 to $i per 100.
The supply of Von Sion narcissus is not
so heavy as it has been; still this stocli
is more than plentiful. Lilies are very
abundant and move only fairly well at
$8 to $10 for longiflorum. Callas bring
$5 to $$8.

Trade Notes.
This delightful weather gladdens
the heart of the florist, especially if his
Easter plants are a little behind, which
is the case with someof our lily growers.
Already fine azaleas are to be had — bet-
ter than usual at this season of the year.
Genistas, heaths, cyclamen and small
plants are abundant, and the store win-
dows are beautiful.
This is the first year L. J. Robinson,
Jr., has grown Von Sion narcissus, and
he can well feel proud of his success. A
finer lot is seldom found.
Here and There.
The B. L. Bragg Co. will remove to
Lyman Street soon. This will take the
agricultural store from Main Street,
where it has been a landmark for nearly
50 years.
Mark Aitken will rebuild his entire
range of greenhouses, beginningthe work
in June. Mr. Aitken has a seedling pink
carnation, grown by Linwood Morgan,
that promises to be all that an up-to-date
flower should be— pleasing in color, full,
and with a good stem.
C. F. Fairfield has remodeled his store,
introducing white birchwood with the
hark on with good effect.
Wm. Schlatter & Son are unusually
busy at their store, as well as at their
greenhouses. Here we see well-grown
calceolarias, not often found in this
market.
At the Eastern Avenue greenhouses
Mr. Murphy is growing some fine roses.
Buckleton & Chetham grow exclusively
carnations, which are looking fine for
Easter. Their cut is nearly all disposed
of in advance.
There is a general movement to embei-
ish the school grounds and public places
other than parks advocated by the city
forester, and the City Council has been
asked to set aside a sum of money to
carry out the work. G.
Poughkeepsie, N. Y.
The regular meeting of the Dutchess
County Horticultural Society was held
March 6. It was resolved that the Exhi-
bition Committee's report be adopted
favoring the holding of a chrysanthemum
exhibition. The committee reported
the schedule was under consideration,
and that several prizes had been offered
by patrons of the society ; also that they
i] had prepared a plan for offering prizes to
the various public and parish schools of
Poughkeepsle for the best plants grown
from a seed or cutting by a pupil dur-
ing the 12 months preceding the exhibi-
tion, the plants to be exhibited and
judged at that time. Mr. Clarence Reyn-
olds, of Poughkeepsle, offers a premium
for the best window box of plants grown
In a school window. The committee's
plan was adopted.
Lyman Brown, of the Hudson River
State Hospital, sprung a surprise upon
the meeting by nominating 5;i new
names for membership; five others were
nominated at the same time, miking a
total of 58.
The rules applying to nomination of
members were suspended, and the whole
58 members elected. A vote of thanks
was passed to .Mr. Brown. This brings
the active membershipupto 152. George
Howarth, Wappingers Falls, was added
to the Executive Committee.
A telegram was received from William
C. Russell promising his support to the
show aud also the support of C. F. Die-
terich, with $50. A letter upon the sub-
ject of the show was read from I. L.
Powell; a paper written by request was
also received from him for this meeting,
but was unavoidably held over for next
meeting. The resignation of Wm. Turner
was received and accepted. He is leav-
iug the district.
A very fine vase of Bride roses from
grafted plants was exhibited by Thomas
Talbot, gardener to Hon. L. P. Morton,

The regular monthly meeting of the
Morris County Gardeners' Society was
held in Masonic Hall, March 13, with a
large attendance of members.
The subject for discussion was "carna-
tions," introduced by John N. Ma.v, who
gave a very interesting talk on the old
and new varieties. A lengthy discussion
followed, which brought out many facts
concerning the different varieties exhib-
ited. The flowers shown were of very
fine quality. Two large tables were filled
with displays. Peter Fisher sent 100
Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson, very fine in
color, and with a stem all that could be
desired. A collection came from C. W.
Ward, among them Governor Roosevelt,
very fine fiowers on long, stiff stems.
Harry Fenn, lighter in color than the
last named, are very good. Golden
Beauty is a gem; as shown here it is a
beautiful variety, and was greatly ad-
mired. Viola Allen is somewhat after the
style of Mrs. George M. Bradt, with less
markings in it. Morning Glory has a
lovely delicate pink color, something
after that of Daybreak, with a delightful
perfume. Other varieties sent were Nov-
elty, Joseph H.Manley and The Marquis,
all very fine flowers. A seedling, No. 25,
is a very promising fancy variety. Queen
Louise came from Mr. J. L. Dillon,
Bloomsburg, Pa., who sent a very fine
vase of 100 blooms. It seems to be a
good flower, its chief merit appearing to
be free bloomng. Several vases of fine
fiowers were shown by C. Totty, the
Marquis, Olympia and Mrs. Lawson
being extra fine. Wm. Duckham staged
Glacier and Mrs. G. M. Bradt, very fine,
with several other varieties. J. N. May
brought some very good flowers of
standard varieties, also some seedlings,
which seem to be veiy promising, one in
particular, a beautiful pink, which should
certainly have a future. A vase of Brides-
maid roses was sent by J. Shannon. The
flowers bad stems 3i/& feet and were
extra large flowers, of good color and
foliage. Wm. Charlton displayed a vase
of very good Brideand Bridesmaid roses.
The meeting was one of the best ever
held here, and the flowers staged were of
the highest quality. W. D.

THE RETAIL TRADE.
Store Management.
The buying of flowers is one of the
most Important matters iu connection
with a store, more especially tor the holi-
day trade. Two things have to be con-
sidered: Tou have to avoid being with-
out flowers when they are in demand;
at the same time you do not want to
Buffer a loss from dead stoclj. In ordi-
nary business you can tell pretty nearly
what your wants are; and it you should
over buy the stock will likely be fresh
and will keep over; but tor holidays,
look carefully over your last year's pur-
chases and observe how close vou sold
out, then think out what the business
outlook in your locality seems likely to
need, always taking into consideration
it is a business that grows everj' year in
fairly prosperous times. In ordering you
must al'-ow tor this; but, at the same
time, avoid reckless buying. The stock
is perishable, the values recede immedi-
ately after a holiday, and a surplus of
high-priced stuck generally means a loss.
It.possible, always buy the best stock; it
stands repeated handling the best.
Window displays mean more and more
each year, for as our business is con-
stantly growing, so in proportion are
the number of stores increasing. Cus-
tomers each year pay less attntion to
tirm names aiid more to the display of
goods; and as the window is the first
attraction.it is necessary to have it well
done. There are several styles of doing
this; one of the best, tor ordinary occa-
sions, is to fill yonr window tastefully
with some article of which you have a
iiuflntity and of which the quality is A 1,
Tarying it witli a window artistically
arcaoged, the center having some espe-
cially good arrangement ot flowers or
ttteots. On any locally interesting occa-
sion make your window in some way to
suit such occasion. On holidays, say
Christmas, decorate your window and
store as far as possible suitable tor the
season; in fact, make your decorations
as " Christmassy " as possible, and don't
he afraid to give the outside a touch-up.
Use lots of greenery, even It you are not
making a specialty ot its sale.
Economy and Wastk.
This is of the greatest importance.
When you have a surplus of stock a good
head is wanted to classify, clean and
freshen the stock. Time spent in this
work pays. Old articles in all business
want more care to make them salable
than new ones, and flowers well looked
after can often be profitably used with-
out any dishonesty to the customer. All
proprietors or managers should look
well after this branch, and see that
young and thoughtless clerks do not be-
come too well acquainted with the recep-
tacle for rubbish. This oversight applies
particularly to green stock, as many not
familiar with the greenhouse are very
apt to put a low value on this material.
Help.
With regard to help in stores, on the
whole, 1 prefer male. I know them to be
fully as tasty and artistic in the matter
of arrangement, and, as a rule, will main-
tain a pleasant and good-tempered man-
ner with customers under the trying con-
ditions ot holiday rushes longer than
lady clerks; they are not so easily tired
out, and do not suffer from the cold tem-
perature that it is sometimes necessary
to maintain in flower stores. Men also
come much handier in the handling and
showing off of heavy pots of plants.
Ladies, 1 think, feel a little more confi-
dence in being served by men, especially
with respect to plants; at the same time
a pleasant, clever, young lady will possi-
bly please male customers better.
Credits.
With regard to credits watch carefully
your customers and get acquainted with
"their resources. Don't get too impatient
with those that are perfectly good, but
slow (this often happens to the florist),
for these slow accounts often come in
very handy. When people are found un-
reliable, they have to be told so in as
gentlemanly a manner as possible, tor
some ot them it the.v have not money
have influence, and it is better to have
them feel that though refused credit, they
are not disgraced. But, in my experience,
I have come to the conclusion tliat there
are fewer bad debts on the florists' books
than in those of most other businesses and
that, as a class, the florist makes rather
more talk about his bad debts than is
necessary.
Pack.iges.
The greatest care should be exercised
by florists to make packages as neat as
possible; it helps the first impression.
Avoid newspaper where you can. .See
that all flowers iu packages are properly
sprinkled. Do not leave packed boxes
standing on the floor longer than is nec-
essary, ana the most important; ot all is
to see that delivery men and bnys do not
shake the boxes, or at any time have
them on end, as flowers tipped will tall
against the end thus marring delicate
ones. At holiday times the delivery mat-
ter i.s ot the utmost importance. What
is wanted is a man thoroughly acquainted
with the city, whose duty, and only
duty, is to sort all packages in routes,
and see that each wagon is loaded with
a district, and that every plant is put
into bis box or boxes in the order that
it shall come out; that he is given a
card with each address on it, and in the
crder the packages come out of the
wagon. He should return this card when
of old stock is a factor in profits. Another
leak that wants watchiug.is the careless
handling of high-priced flowers. A bud
is broken off. or a flower marred — 5c. or
10c. gone. But the profits ot a business
depend, to a large extent, on the way
the books are kept. This part should he
even more carefully looked after than
anything else. Of course, large flrmsem-
ploy bookkeepers; but among florists in
smaller business, there is more careless-
ness than in any other trade in ordinary
times. Every expenditure and receipt
should be recorded, and every florist,
large or small, should at least once a
year go over it all. and get some little
idea as to how he stands. On holidays,
when money comes in by hundreds, it at
no other time, all should get a cashier for
a tew days, tor many new clerks are used
and there are lots of booking sales. The
cost of hie services is easily saved
Intkoducing Novelties.
With regard to the introduction of
novelties it all depends on your counter
hands. Many employers invest in exjien-
sive novelties; they are received and in
many cases, it not specially asked for by
A Simple House Wedding Decopation.
E-xecuted by A. Gaedeke & Co., Nashua, N. H.
he arrives home, as a reference in case ot
wrong delivery.
Cheap work.
The necessity tor cheap work in some
cities and some localities exists. AH
cities, more or less, are composed of
people not so wealthy or so extravagant
as others; these people should not be
frightened b.v having the most expensive
goods shown them, but should be shown
something cheaper, o ■ to them more rea
sonable. and which are, atthe same time,
good. It the purchase be a design, cheaper
flowers should be used, but always the
best ot workmanship. A first-class busi-
ness should at all times be ready to serve
all classes. Make no distinction when
serving your customers, whether they be
high priced or low priced, recollecting
that some ot these cheapest buyers are
liable at any time to bring you a larger
funeral order than some ot your tony
customers.
Profits.
" Profits depend more on the manager
of a store than they do on the volume
ot business done. A legitimate profit
should always be looked tor. On a few
occasions a cut in price may be prudent,
but not often. Do not be anxious to
make an exorbitant profit, when you
have a chance; it never pays in the end.
Bu.y good stock as low as you can. See
that your clerks realize what you pay
tor such, then encourage them to calcu-
late the cost ot the material that they
may use in making up a basket, a design,
or a house decoration; tor there is no
business like ours, where one feels like
putting in a fewextras, when perhaps the
doing ot this istaking away a good part
ot the profit. By this I do not condemn
the giving away of flowers when you
have an unsalable surplus, always seeing
to it that thecustomer knows it is a gift.
As mentioned above, taking good care
customers soon become dead stock. It
the clerk, on the contrary, takes an in-
terest in introducing these novelties and
uses tact he can alwa.vs sell a certain
quantity ot a first-class article. In many
cases too many are bought at once, and
before all can be sold some become shop-
worn and useless.
Finally.
One more point before I flnish. The
success ot a store business depends largely
on the help .you employ. I used to disa-
gree with the favorite remark ot a well-
known grower on this subject, viz.: "It
is very liard to get a good greenhouse
man, and when you get one you should
value him, but a store hand you can pick
up at any time." Thisianotso. Tomake
a good florist clerk, lad.v or man, requires
as much training as tor a greenhouse
hand; it also needs good intelligence,
pleasant manners, tact, patience and
best ot all, a willingness to learn some-
thing about the goods one sells, so that
he or she maybe able to talk intelligently
about flowers and plants. Dnless you
look well to these points, you will hardly
get as much out ot the business as you
should. E, I. Mepsted.

Early Closing.
The florists ot Bridgeport, Conn., met
March 5 last and agreed to close Tues-
day, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
evenings at G:aO o'clock, except two
weeks before Christmas and one week
before Easter and each evening previous
to a holiday. On Memorial Day, Easter
Sundny, Thanksgiving Day and Christ-
mas Day the stores will be open until 1
o'clock. Independence Day, July 4, the
stores will be closed all day, and on Good'
Friday they will remain open all day."
They will close all day Sunday, except to
deliver orders previously taken. They
reserve the right to deliver orders taken
previously on holidays.
It is more than likely that a floriBts'-*
club will be formed here.
The florists of New Haven, Conn. .have
also decided to close each evening at six
o'clock.
The S. A. F. O. H. Charter.
The S. A. F. and O. H., thanks to that
"grand old man" Wm. R. Smth. has at
last achieved the object ot its ambition,
namely, the acquisition of a national
charter. No more like a bachelor with-
out a home or a sailor on the trackless
ocean, the society can now settle down
to business, with a corporate existence
that allows the acquisition of projierty;
with astandlng in the courtsof the land;
with a power to contest the constitu-
tionality of bad laws when such laws
cannot be defeated by its prestige; with
a recognized standing among the horti-
cultural bodies ot the world. It there-
tore behooves the 10,000 florists of
America to make itthe strongest organi-
zation ot its kind in Christendom.
The writer has noted with pride that
the society's reserve fund has reached
nearly $1,000, and it is a matter ot some
self-gratnlation thatas anexecutive com-
mitteeman, in conjunction with Grove
P. Rawson, the Lite Membership Reserve
Fund was originally advocated by him,
and that as chairman of the Committee
on Revision of By-laws at Providence,
R. I., he had the high honor ot recom-
mending it forflual passage to the Execu-
tive Committee. And here and now the
writer wishes to remark that he believeB
the time will come when the fund will
amount to $50,000, and the interest
thereof will go a long way toward de-
fraying the expenses ot the society. Yan-
kee land, with its adopted citizens from
every quarter of the globe, can do It
now. "A long pull, a strong pull, and a
pull all together" will make the S. A. F.
a corporate body of which every florist
in America will be proud, and a power
for horticultural good In the land.

Edgar A. Higgins, ot Avoca, N. Y., the
sweet pea enthusiast, also forwards us
a copy of the classlScation, accompanied
with the following comments:
"It is expected that Rev. W. T. Hutch-
ins, or some other competent special-
ist in whom the sweet pea growers of
the country have entire confidence, will
act as judge. In the above classes none
but amateur growers will be permitted
to compete.
"At the suggestions of a number of
leading amateur growers Mr. Scott has
wisely limited the entries in the various
classes, both as to the number of sprays
and the number of varieties, so that the
smaller growers will not be compelled to
compete with those who gorw vast
quantities of sweet peas for just such
purposes. In Classes 16,17,18 and 10 an
opportunity will he given to smaller
growers to make entries for a few varie-
ties, where enough are not grown to
compete in the general collection class.
"I shall be glad to hear, throuch the
columns of The Florists' Exchanoe, the
opinions concerning the list of any sweet
pea specialists who are Interested in any
way In this great exhibition.
He Covered Himself with Glory.
" Did you ever go out on an assign-
ment?"
"Once, once only, and I covered myself
with glory, if you will allow me to say
so. I was told to get a report of a hor-
ticultural and florists' exhibit made at a
great fair that was held in the city for
some big charity. Oh! It was a huge
affair, a whole square of Philadelphia in-
closed In glass. Well, I strolled in and I
saw at once that to make an exhaustive
reportol the matter would need an extra
press In the printing department of the
paper, and a knowledge of Latin beyond
anv compositor ever born."
"What did you do?"
" I went quietly to every exhibitor and
asked him to write me a careful report
of the technical history ot his own ex-
hibit. The next day I collected my stack
ot amateur manuscripts, containing ex-
pert descriptions, and wove out ot the
mass an article so learned and complete
on the subject that a man who was sent
to report the matter tor a horticultural
paper lost his job, and they used a clip-
ping ot my report. Oh! yes, the editor
knew that I loved the country, and flow-
ers, and trees, and so on, and figured that
I was the best man to handle a horticul-
tural article."— Frank S. Stockton, in

Easter Prospects.
The question of supply and demand
for Easter again confronts us. The gen-
eral feeling among all whom we have
come across is that there will be a good
business, but at writing no one is ready
to state positively the prices that will
rule. Of course, one great factor in the
Easter trade is the lily. Time was when
the Bermuda or Lllium Harrisii was
looked upon as sure as the day, and suc-
cess by all good growers certain. Then
came the diseases of the bulbs and uncer-
tainty of crops, with hopeful prospects
that L. longlBorum, which Its Bermuda
grown ally had displaced, would again
come to the front, and in a large measure
fill the bill for Easter. Now Japan L.
longiflorum is but little morecertain than
L. Harrisii. A grower considers himself
fortunate if he can secure 50 to 75 per
cent, of the bulbs planted, with even fair
stem and flowers. Last year Easter
lilies were scarce, and we don't see how
it can be otherwisethlayear; $12 to $15
will probably be the price for first-class
lily flower8,with cripples at $1© per 100.
The big growers, such as Bassett &
Washburn, Emil Buettner, Poehlman
Bros., S. J. Pearce, August Dressel and
Weber Bros., managed to have fair sup-
plies, all in good shape, but lots of others
are not so fortunate.
" In roses the prospects are bright. The
American Beauty growers generally
have good expectations. The same is
true of Bride and Bridesmaid. Liberty
will not cut much of a figure. Some
good Golden Gate, Ferle, and, so far as
we know, few La France will be availa-
ble, but no hybrids.
Carnations, if the weather is at all
sunny the next two weeks, will be abun-
dant with white flowers the hardest to
supply, of high grade at least.
Bulbous stock generally will be plenti-
ful. We look for enormous supplies of
medium grades and smaller ones of really
fancies. Large quantities have been com_

ing in for some time past and selling at
low rates.
Violets have fetched poor prices right
along; they should do better for Easter.
As yet few sweet peasare in this market,
and there has not been much call for
them so far.
In pot plants we look for a brisk trade
in fancy stock, but there is, up to the
present time, no evidence of anything un-
usual In that line different from other
years. No big or even fair-sized estab-
lishment makes a specialty of pot plant
culture the year round. We build largely
each year, but our glass is all devoted to
roses and carnations. The azalea will
be in fair supply, although there will be
few fine large specimens. Primulas in the
several varieties will be on hand. A
short supply of cyclamen is anticipated,
with a fair stock ol cinerarias aud some
begonias. We don't hear much of B.
Gloire de Lorraine for Easter. Ail kinds
of bulbous stock in pots, pans, and the
like will be plentiful. There will be but
few cytisus, heaths, rhododendron, epa-
cris, hydrangeas and such material, and
few, if any, pot roses, except Crimson
Rambler; but even these the Chicago
growers are not over successful with as
yet in bringing them on the market.
Club Doings.
The regular meeting on March 15
proved an attractive one, and brought
out a goodly number of members. Ben-
jamin Durfee, of the American Rose Co.,
Washington, D. C, was present, with a
fine display of the new Ivory or White
Golden Gate rose, one dozen having been
cut as long ago as February 14, showing
its good keeping qualities. It was
awarded the club's certificate of merit.
Mr. Durfee also read an interesting pa-
per on the rose and carnation, giving a
history of the Golden Gate and its new
sport. A vote of thanks was tendered
him. The paper will be found in another
column. Jacob Russler, of Fernwood,
exhibited a light pink seedling carnation,
of good form and size.
"The regular subject of the evening was
the forcing of the lily of the valley, intro-
duced by H. N. Bruns and August
Juergens, both expert growers.
Mr. Bruns confined his remarks chiefly
to the stock that should be used, as this
is undoubtedly the mostimportant point
in growing lily of the valley successfully.
Not enough care is usually exercised in
procuring the right stock. Pips for early
forcing should have been grown in light,
warm soil; those from a damp, cold, or
heavy loam are only to be employed for
late forcing. Good pips for early forcing
should be strong, run even, and have
plenty of fine, long white roots. These
signs indicate careful cultivation and
such stock can be depended on, with
proper treatment, to give satisfaction.
For late forcing he uses stock grown on
heavy soil, the roots being shorter and
coarser; hut the pips also should be
strong and evenly assorted. He found
trouble sometimes, particularly when
the season had been rather moist, in that
the lower bells are too far advanced in
the pip, and fade before the flower is fully
developed. As a rule, the strongest pips
grown on heavy soil, if unevenly assorted
when received, were rather suspicious.
He stated that his shipper always kept
him informed how the different lots were
grown and how the season had been.
He considered this a very important fact
to know.
August .luergens indorsed what had
been said. He stated that as soon as
pips were received they should be care-
fully assorted and at once laid in soil in
boxes. To get good green foliage the
pips required to be grown cool, in 75 to
80 degrees, whereas to bring them in
quickly required a temperature of 80 to
90 degrees.
Around Town.
The second floor of the Atlas Block, in
which are located the two Eeinbergs,
Weitor Brothers, and the Poehlmann
Brothers, were burglarized on Friday
night, the cash drawer pried open and
about $20 in stamps and loose change
taken. Hereafter more care will be taken
with these little matters.
E. C. Amling has been receiving a fine
lot of hardy ferns lately; these are good
sellers now.
Otto Benthey, foreman for J. A. Bud-
long, leaves the end of this week for New
Castle, Ind., to superintend the construc-
tion of F. F. Benthey & Co.'s new green-
houses at that place, afterward to
assume charge of same.
Joseph Dunn, for two years past with
Budlong, takes Benthey's place as fore-
man.
John Mangel has taken a new five-year
lease of his State Street store, at an ad-
vance of $1000 per year rental, which is

I THE OITLOOH FOR EASTER STOCK. I
€'.
^^mm^^mmm^mmm^mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm^mm^mmmmmmmmmmm^-mmmm^
College Poin t, N. Y. — Anton Schul-
btie, has reason to be proud of the quality
o( his Easter stocls this year. A few days
ago we had the opportunity of going
through his extensive establishment, and
cau safely say that never before were the
Easter flowering plants so fuli of prom-
lee as they are this year.
Besides several greenhouses and a
liirj^e storage house for bay trees that
Lave been added within the past year, a
very handsome dwelling lias been erected.
This structure was completed last Christ-
mas and Mr. Sehultheis and his family
moved in at once. The interior is fitted
up in the most modern style, perfect in
every detail from the wine cellar in the
basement to the children's playroom in
the attic.
To return to the flowering plants. The
bougainvilleas are a splendid lot; there
is a very extensive quantity of the medi-
um and large sizes, all showing an abun-
dance of flower sprays. This plant is
growing more in favor every year, and
from the numberot ordersaiready placed
it has experienced a big run for Easter.
The stock of hydrangeas is more exten-
sive than ever before and plants averag-
ins; from six flower heads upward are
the rule. All are In the best possible
shape and are timed to he at their best
for Easter sales. Crimson Rambler roses
are to be seen in various forms. The
basljet-shaped plants have hitherto
proved to be the favorites, and the ma-
jority are trained in thatform. Many of
them are allowed to assume a natural
bush shape at the extreme top of the
handle instead of being tied rigidly down.
There Is alsoalargenumber in pyramidal
and bush shape. All are extremely well
budded. The moss roses in flats are also
in a similar flnecondltion. The growing
of h. p. roses in flats has been discontin-
ued, owing to the better demand for i.he
moss roses and the Crimson Ramblers.
The collection of azaleas comprises sev-
eral houses full of the best kinds and of
various sizes, comprising plants with
beads one to four feet In diameter.
Among them are such varieties as Van
der Cruyssen, Verva>neana, Professor
Wolters, pink. Dr. Moore, deep rose pink,
Beruhard Amlreas alba. Empress of In-
dia, Emperorof Brazil and 8chryveriana,
a beautiful double pink. Rhododendrons
are also plentiful and in fine condition,

Of the ericas that will be in bloom for
Easter, there are large batches of E. fra-
grans, E. persoluta alba and rosea, one
house being filled with large plants only;
also a house of E. cupressiana.
Of lilies only the Japan longiflorum is
grown, and these have turned out re-
markably well. There are several houses
of them and buds are well in sight; the
plants will be on hand in nice time with-
out undue forcing. Lilac is mostly of 9
and 10 inch pot size and has broken
freely, showing plenty of flowers.
Hyacinths, narcissus and tulips are
grown in huge quantities. Of the latter
there is a goodly proportion of the varie-
ties Couronne d'or and Murlllo. Lily of
the valley in pans is also a feature and a
good stock will be on hand for Easter.
Tarrytown, N. Y.— .\Ithough flower-
ing plants are not made a specialty for
Easter at the F. R. Plerson Co. estab-
lishment, there is an abundance of very
fine decorative plants, all in the best pos-
sible condition. Of these the Pandanus
Veltchli stand out preijminently; a stur-
dier and better colored house of these
plants could not be found. Ficus elas-
tica, in Ginch pots, are also remarkable
for their luxuriant vigor and symmetry
of form. Specimen Boston ferns are also
plentiful and in the very finest condition.
The stock of palms is an extensive one,
and being grown cool and airy, the
plants are very stocky, with that dark
green color of foliage so desirable in this
class of decorative plants.
The Bermunda longiflorum lilies of Mr.
Pierson's own importation are iu excel-
lent condition, and the disease that the
lily is heir to is conspicuous iiy its ab-
sence. This strain of bulbs is of the
broad leaved type. The plants have
made a clean, even growth, are showing
plenty of flower buds, and will be in just
right for Easter.
We must now mention a plant that
has been safely guarded for some time
and has been thecause of much comment
among those who have been fortunate
enough to see it. This is, we believe, the
most decorative fern in existence. It
originated here and has been named
Nephrolepis Plersoni. It will be dissemi-
nated as soon as sufficient stock has been
, grown, probably by next Spring. The
difference between this and the ordinary
nephrolepis can best be described by
saying that the comparison between the
two is simllartothecomparlson between
the ordinary plain parsley and the moss
curled variety. This fern is of a beauti-
ful rich green color; each one of the
pinnte is a perfect frond In miniature,
which gives It that fringed or mossy ap-
pearance. The fronds measure at least
six inches across when fully developed
and have a graceful pendulous habit.
We expect to furnish an illustration of
this fern in the near future, which will
give a better idea of its decorative quali-
ties than any words of ours can convey.
Boston.- A visit to E. S. Whitten's
greenhouses at Dorchester found Mr.
Cotter just recuperating from his sick-
ness. A tour through the establishment
revealed a very fine lot of Easier stock.
The lilies, of which about 9,000 pots will
be In condition by the 7th of April, are
an exceptionally fine and healthy-ap-
pearing lot, and will average five to
seven flowers per stem. A few of the
most backward ones, two or three weeks
ago, were taken out of the heat, and are
to be held for Decoration Day.
Crimson Rambler roses are doing very
finely at this place, and this year they
are better than ever before. Though the
trusses of flower are not so large or
heavy, yet they are more evenly distrib-
uted throughout the plant, and make a
better appearance than a few less though
larger clusters would at the top of the
plant. A new hybrid, trained in the
same st.vle as the Crimson Ramber, is
Ard's Rover. From present appearances
it should be a good thing. Mr. Cotter
has the greatest faith in and predicts a
future for it. The growth is very strong
and the foliage large and plentiful, while
the flower, which is of a brilliant car-
mine hue, will be of good size.
The rose houses are just coming Into
crop no »• and should yield a magniflcent
cut for a month or so to come. The
house of Liberty is now doing very well.
In the Fall and early Winter ail the
flowering shoots were pinched off, keep-
ing the strength In the plants, so that
when the breaks came about six weeks
ago some excellent canes were thrown
out, and nearly every shoot now appear-
ing bears a flower. The crop should be
very heavy, and blooms with stems of
from 12 to 36 inches are now being cut.
Bride and Bridesmaid are also in excel-
lent condition.
W. W. Edgar will have his usual fine los
of Easter stock. His longiflorum liliet
are the most'evenly grown batch of plants
it has ever been my privilege to see; there
does not appear to be three inches differ-
ence in height between the tallest and
shortest plants in a house; and they will
be very well flowered. Rhododendrons
of enormous size. In large tubs, are finely
done here. There are also some smaller
to medium sized plants. A flne lot of
azaleas are to be feen, also acacias and
genistas, well-shaped plants and well
flowered. Mr. Edgar will have quite a
number of metrosldero8,the bottle-brush
plant. In the palm house a magniflcent
bench of Adiantum Farleyense in pots
arrests the attention, also a very fine lot
of palms in great variety, ferns, rubber
plants and hanging baskets of Aspara-
gus Sprengeri, t>esides pandanus, dra-
Cipuas, crotons and other decorative
plants.
At E. N. Peirce & Son's can be seen
house after bouse of lilies. Allen Peirce
says that 50,000 bulbs were started, and
outside of perhaps ,"5,000, thrown out us
diseased, all will be in on time. Here,
too, the quality is very fine. Azaleas are
not handled in such large numbers at this
place this year as formerly. A very fine
lot of Ulrich Brunner roses. In pots,
should flower shortly.
William H. Elliott, of Brighton, will
have a fine lot of fieneral Jacqueminot
roses for cutting two or three days be-
fore Easter. From present appearances
these should be better than any ever be-
fore produced at their place. liberty Is
doing pretty well now.
Anderson & Williams have grown quite
a nice lot of Crimson Rambler roses this
season and their houses of Bride and
Bridesmaid should yield good cuts.
F J. N.
Cleveland, O.— It is rather early at
this time to draw conclusions as to what
the Easter trade will be this season, so
much depends upon the weather condi-
tions, but I dare say with good weather
the local florists will have a better sea-
son than ever before. They should not
feel otherwise than sanguine. We are in
the midst of a growingcommunity — the
metropolis of Ohio— which, with a popu-
lation far in excess of wliat It has ever
been before, should furnish an outlet for
the entire product of the numerous green-
house establishments In this city and
vicinity, and even more.
After many personal interviews with
the growers, we note that plant stock
will be none too plentifulfortheoccasion
in question: In fact, indications lead the
writer to believe that there will be a
heavy shortage in some of the most de-
sirable varieties of plants. Crimson Ram-
bler roses for one thing will be found
wanting. Many growers complain about
the unsatisfactory results obtained from
their plants this Winter. The plants are
not thrifty and full of bloom as they have
been In former seasons, and to those
growers who depend upon their Crimson
Rambler crop for best returns at Easter
season, the loss will be large. There is
no doubt but what bulb stock will be In
abundance, with the exception of Lillum
longiflorum. Some large growers of
these bulbs will not get their stock in on
time. On this item, as well as plant
stock, storekeepers will do well to en-
gage their Easter supply as early as pos-
sible, as there is certain to be an unusual
scarcity at the time when the stock Is
most wanted. Azaleas appear to be In
good condition, and will, without ques-
tion, be the best selling pot plant.— G.
A. T.
' Flatbush, N. Y.— Charles Zeller & Son
have, as usual, a well-grown collection
of plants suitable for Easter. The princi-
pal kinds are lilies, genistas, acacias, aza-
leas and Dutch bulbs in pans. There are
also nice batches of Erica persoluta alba,
bougainvillea. hydrangeas, etc. The III
les are timed to he just right for Easter.
Baltimore.
For Easter.
As a whole, the flowering plants
promise to be in time for the event; aza-
leas, genistas, hydrangeas and metro-
sideros are looking very well. Lilies are
disappointing; even where they don't
show much disease, the growth is so
stunted that the plants lose much of their
decorative value, especially as cut sprays.
Ericas are but little grown hereabouts;
Crimson Rambler roses are not setting
flowers so readily as usual and h. p. roses
are only forced in a few places. No doubt
a good many orders forflowering Easter
plants will have to be placed out of
town, especially for azaleas and ericas.
Sam. Feast & Son"' are growing a flne
lot of primula , Forbesi and improved
obconica.as well as the old English prim-
rose veris as pot plants. The firm finds
there are many lovers for these unpreten-
tious little flowers.
Gardeners* Club.
The annual election reinstated all
the oflScers with the exception of the vice-
president. They are: Robert Halllday,

John Wagner, librarian.
At the next meeting a smoker will be
held at the club rooms.
Trade Notes.
Lent has, as is customary, closed
the social season, and thecut-flower trade
has quieted down accordingly. Every-
thing is now plentiful; but pricesof good
material are still satisfactory, with a
few exceptions, such as violets and small
bulbous stock. Decorative plants have
once more been taken home to prepare
for the last struggle of a very busy
season. T. E.
Bangor, Me.
The exceptionally severe weather of
the past month, the thermometer often
registering from 20 to 28 below zero,
has had a tendency to lower the health
statistics so that In the period mentioned
more deaths have occurred In Bangor
than in the six months previous. Natu-
rally the death-rate being large makes an
extra demand for floral work. Such a
season has seldom been known. In three
weeks Carl Beers alone had made some
80 floral designs. Flowers are necessa-
rily scarce, owing to the large demand.
Stock for Easter forcing Is showing up
finely. For the first season in 10 years
Mr. Beers states Harrisil and longiflo-
rum lilies are entirely free from disease.
This, he thinks. Is due to change In culti-
vation from pots to large tubs. By keep-
ing these In an even temperature of from
45 to 55 degrees theplants-donotrequire
as much forcing. v.
Louisville, Ky.
Flowers of all descriptions are plenti-
ful, with only a moderate demand. Prices
remain about the same as last quoted.
F. Walker & Co. have had some extra
flne azaleas displayed in their window.
Nanz & Neuner made a fine displav of
violets for the past week. Wm. Walker
has been most successful with cyclamen
and cinerarias, and his display "of these
plants has attracted much attention.
Jacob Schulz has shown some beautiful
rhododendron and Iliac.

CLASS A
Plan and Description by Wm. Breanecke, Hempstead Gardens, L. I., N, Y.
The two acres of land which are in-
tended to be planted and improved, as
outlined by the accompanying sketch,
are situated on the southern border of a
wood-surrounded Held of perhaps 300
acres, laid out tor suburban improvement.
The ground is nearly level, so as to re-
ceive shelter from northern winds. The
greenhouses will be depressed about 12
inches and the soil so obtained used to
make a eloping bank on north and north-
eastern Bides of the greenhouses. Begin-
ning at the sidewalk and road (20), the
bank will be gradually raised until it
reaches six feet in height at the curved line
running along north of greenhouses,
reaching its greatest height near the
dwelling. This bank is to be planted
mainly with evergreens of medium height
and rather dense growth.
Being settled on the place only one
year, the only improvements lean record
are the erection of the southern halt of
work shed and two small temporary
sash houses; in plantings, the spruce
hedge (3) and white birches (5 and 6)
along the edge of sidewalk.

basin will be planted principally with
grasses such as eulalias, Arundo donax,
also tunkias, iris, etc. As a background
and to hide the barn a trellis will be
erected to support honeysuckles, both
green and yellow foliaged, and trailing
rose [Evergreen Gem.
Beds 47 to 51 will contain such sub-
jects as will give a continuous supply of
cut flowers through the open season —
lilies, pteonies, phloxes, hellanthus, achil-
lea. asters, rudbeckia, etc. Space being
rather limited, no attempt will be made
to harbor any plants which are only in-
teresting to the botanist, except a few of
a dwart nature tor edging, such as Phlox
Bubulata and santolina.
Nos. 52 and 53 will be planted with
roses. A straight row of Crimson Ram-
bler will be planted along the walk which
separates the beds from the boundary.
In front of these a row of Mme. Plantier,
interspersed with a few General Jacque-
minot, Ulrich Brunuer, Mrs. John Laing
and Baroness Rothschild roses, will give
sutflcient variety of bloom through their
season.
Between the four feet of space allowed
for the sidewalk, 67, and the road, a
strip six feet wide, slightly rounded and
leaved forms, Nos. 57 and 58, Intermin-
gled, will give background to the white
birch, 41, planted close by.

dropping seasonably early in the Fall
will permit some sunshine to enter into
and make pleasant the rooms located on
those sides of the house, and the plant
being of rapid growth will give quick
results just where these aremost wanted.
The lawn, though not very large, will,
it la believed, form a good foreground to
the windbreak of evergreens.
that can be dispensed with. The irregu-
lar curves running into straight stretches
of roads would not be convenient or at-
tractive over the short distances repre-
sented.
In a plan of this kind all working de-
partments should be arranged near to
each other. In this plan the storage yard
lor soil and manure is carried a long way
from the stable and work shed, making
it necessary to provide a road and a long
path to gain access to this yard alone,
both of which could be omitted if the
yard was located in the southwest cor-
ner close to the other working depart-
ments. There should be no objection to
this on the score of untidiness or disa-
greeable odors it the material stowed in
this yard is kept in proper condition.
With this change all roads and walks on
the east and south sides of the groundp,
as well as the gravel spaces about the

covered with grass, has been left for a
row of shade trees.
No. 54. Pin oak — Quercus palustrus.
No. 55. Beech — Fagus sylvatica.
No. 50. Birch— Betula alba.
As it will take several years to obtain
shade from the pin oaks, the birches will
give some color in Winter and fullness in
Summer to the plantation the first few
years, and can easily be hewn out when
crowded by the oaks.
In planting for decoration of the dwell-
ing I may mention that it will be a story
and attic affair, with a large window
trimmed with a single form of scroll
work on each side of the slanting roof.
The roof, covering the house and veranda
in one continuous stretch, will permit of
the attic windows being built flush with
the outer edge of the veranda. This will
allow of a good showing to be made of
Wistarias Ohinensis and var. alba.

Comments by Warren H. Manning-.
Without more complete information as
to grades than the general statement
that the ground is nearly level, one can-
not be certain that the general arrange-
ment of this plan is the most economical
one. If an excavation of oie foot is made
over the entire area of the proposed
bouses, about 850 cubic yards of mate-
rial will need to be removed, andthiscan-
not be disposed of in the banks as pro-
posed. As it is likely that much of this
would be top soil, it would perhaps be
wise to make this depth by excavating
six or eight Inches and use this material
to raise the whole surface of the lot to a
corresponding height, thus securing a
better soil condition and greater econo-
my in excavating and disposing of mate-
rial. As usual, the plan seems to be much
more complicated than the conditions re-
quire, in that it provides a considerable
amount of gravel area In roads and walks
greenhouses to the south, could be dis
pensed with and thesurface added to the
cutivated or lawn areas, with only such
walks as would be required to ma' e the
beds in these areas accessible. It should
always be kept in mind that walks are
not attractive in themselves, that they
are mere conveniences, and that they are
much more trouble to keep in order than
lawn areas or cultivated ground.
I think it will be found that the yard I
room on the westerly end of the green-
houses and about the stables is rather
too limited, and that It will be better to
enlarge it by carrying the greenhouses a
little further to the east or by moving
the stables, windmill and tank further to
the north.
In the arrangementof roads and paths i
about the house and .yard, I suggest a
separate working road to follow the
westerly boundary just Inside of the
hedge, with tanks so located as to permit
its passage behind them. At present.*

person drlviug to the house must pass
through the stable yard before turning.
1( the entrance drive Is arranKed in such
a manner that one could drive to the
frontdoor and back to the road again
without passing the back of the house, It
would be muclj more convenient and
agreeable tor visitors.
The section to the west of the house In
which it is proposed to bring together a
general collection of flowering plants
would be more attractive If the bedH
were arranged in a symmetrical pattern.
This could be done to better advantage
and more room would be secured for en-
trances it the house were located a little
further to the north and east, in order
that Its westerly line shall coincide more
closely with the westerly line of the put-
ting shed.
In the limited ornamental grounds be-
tween the houses and the street, it hardly
seems advisable to introduce so many
large growing trees, for they will ull'i-
matley close over all the turf spaces and
ruiu each other by crowding. Two or
three fine specimens of large growing
varieties with an irregular bed of shrubs
and low-growing evergreens faced down
with hardy perennials or tender plants
against the back of the greenhouses to
frame in the lawn area would be more
effective aud useful for display purposes.
The Burnham Boiler.
The " liurnbam " boiler for steam and
hot water heating, which is the subject
of our illustrations, will need no intro-
duction to the greenhouse trade, as this
boiler has been well known during the
past years uuder the name of Lord &
ilurnham Go's. Sectional Ueater. Owing
to the large demand for these boilers It
was found necessary to increase the line
and at the same time add improvements
which, no doubt, will be appreciated by
the trade in general.
One of the most important features in
the new "Burnham" boiler is themethod
of connecting the sections. This is ac-
complished by means of a cast iron nip-
ple, turned with a slight taper, the sec-
tions being bored out to correspond. As
both section and nipple are bored to tem-
plate it makes the sections interchange-
able and facilitates the erection of the
boiler, at the same time securing a per-
fect and lasting joint. The nipples and
sections are made of the same material,
thus avoiding cracking caused by une-
qual expansion and coutraction.
It can readily be seen that this boiler
has a large amount of direct fire surface,
which ciiiefly cotisists of three tiers of
triangular arms. The lowest tierof arms
is the smallest, the second larger, the
third being the largest. By this arrange-
ment the rays of heat strike all the arms
equally, thus makiug the direct surface
of high etficiency. The upward incline of
the arms toward the center and hottest
parts of the boiler insures a rapid circula-
tion to the outlet, which helps to secure
very economical results. The products
of combustion rise upward, and after
striking against and surrounding all of
the arms, pass over the fire wall section,
then downward and up between the
balfle aud rearsections. This form of in-
direct travel secures themaximum econo-
my witti the minimum of friction, as no
matter how long the boiler may be the
indirect travel Is the same, thus adapting
even the largest boilers for a lowdraught
pressure, such as usually found in green-
houses. The direct draught, which is a
great advantage when starting or forc-
ing the tire, is provided for by an opening
with damper in the battle section.
As most of the surfaces are direct and
practically self-cleaning, there remains
but little to clean, but large cleaning
doors are provided in the front and sides
of the boiler.
The grates are of the Lord & Rurnham
Co. 's patented anti-cllnker shaking and
dumping pattern and so constructed
that the airclrculates freely around every
part, thus affording the least possible
chance for warping or burning out.
Lord & Burnham Company, owing to
the large and increasing demand for their
boilers, has found It necessary to erect a

Iron Construction of
Greenhouses vs. Wood.
lirail hffiire the Clilvngn Florists' Cliih I'eliru-
iiry 1, hy Willis .V Kiiihl.
Having never had any experience with
a complete iron frame greenhouse, the
writer wishes to add a sub-title to the
aliove.as follows: What I Think I Know
and What I Guess on the .Sul)ject ( with
apologies to Mr. Carmody for infringe,
nieiit of copyright).
The first greenhouses we erected liere
we used it for purlins and supports
throughout. The result was a stiffer
roof and more light in the houses, an im-
provement over the first, but there was
still too much wood at the eaves. Our
last house is built with angle iron pur-
lins, pipe supports and angle iron eaves.
This is the strongeht, lightest and best
house we have. Unfortunately we were
unable to ise iron posts, anil I can see
trouljle ahead there.
Up to dale our experience has been tlie
more iron the better the house. Carried
to its logical conclusion, this would iiiiii-
cate that modern iron frame construc-
tion is the best. Leaving out the ques-
This it would undoubtedly do and more,
but in order to warrant the expense it
should do cousiderably more. As to how
much more it would produce or how
much more it should produce to justify
its construction, I refuse to .state, because
I don't know. My idea is that under
present Chicago conditions there Is not,
in dollars and cents in the bank at the
year's end, very much advantage in the
best iron frame house over tlie best type
of semi iron. The general tendency of
ircui will be down and wood in the future
wid increase in price, thus increasing,
from year to year, the advantage of the
iron liouse over the other.

were on Che old style, white cedar posts,
white pine roof plan, with 2iDch pine
box gutters (we got good pine those
days), pine purlins and pine supports.
They were pretty good houtes for Chi-
cago at that time. too. I have very
lively recollections of "what happened
to Jones" when we turned on steam,
having forgotten to allow for expansion
in the feed pipe. Well, we cut a piece off
from the pipe and rebuilt the end of the
house. I am pretty sure that pipe would
have kicked a hole in the side of a brick
tion of first cost, there is no one, I fancy,
who will not concede this to be the case.
Counting in the difference in cost, how-
ever, the matter becomes more compli-
cated.
'I'he last house built by us, at a time
when glass and iron were at the top
price, was 31 x 12."> feet and cost about
3i> cents per square foot of ground cov-
ered, house complete with piping, but no
service shed aud no boilers. Figures
given meliy a friend indicate the cost of a
modern iron frame structure erected last
Summer to have been about 78 cents per
S(iuare foot of ground covered. Taking
the cost of our houseat 3'.l cents per foot.

block, anyway, so ati Iron frame would
not have helped much in that dirticnlty.
Tlie supports soon rotted, and as they
gave too much shade, we replaced them
with pipe. The pipe is still there in good
condition and will be cjf use when the
houses are gone. Score one for Iron I
Having been foolish enough to i)lpe our
first houses with 1-inch pipe, when we
came to build again tiiere was a tine col-
lection of second-hand pipe on hand, and
we would have annual charges as fol-
lows: Depreciation, ."> percent.. l.^.Tcents;
interest at 6 per cent., 2.34 cents; main-
tenance, 2.40 cents; total, O..')'.! cents.
On the Iron house costing 78 cents the
depreciation at 2 per cent, would he l.Gfi
cents; interest at Ci |ier cent., 4.(').N cents;
maintenance, l.."i(icents: total, 7. 80 cents,
or a difference In favor of our house of
1.21 c^nts per square foot of ground
covered.
In other words, an iron lioiisc of the
same size w<)Uld have to pay me about
$4i> more for the year to break even.
The Baltimore Park System.
The city park department has intro-
duced a good many reforms in their or-
ganization. One of the most Important
is that the city will grow its own bed-
ding plants. Whether this will be a fea-
ture of economy has yet to be proved but
otherwise the new departure promises
good success. The construction of new
greenhouse plants In the various parks
has been completed, and the new houses
compare favorably with the best in the
land. Butted glass, with clipper bars,
are a feature to be noted. The Carmody
ventilating apparatus has been given
preference.
Park Superintendent Flitton has put
in a simple hot water-steam heating plant
in Clifton Park, and finds that with
either hot water or steam the system
works faultlessly. The highest point of
the flow pipe Is at the entrance of the
houses; thence three 2-Inch overhead
pipes run to the opposite end. To each
of these a manifold of five I'i-inch pipes
is connected, to return below the benches
to the near end of the house. A common
return piiie completes the circuit. With
the necessary valves and air cockii this
makes a simple and etiicient i)ipe system'
Ordinarily hot water is used; but in ex-
ceptionally cold weather it Is drained off
and steam is then employed. Since Mr.
Flitton has taken charge of Clifton Park
he has— as rapidly as the available funds
allowed— carried out many improve-
ments, of which a system of driveways is
the most Important. The park Is situ-
ated very high, on rolling land, afford-
lug the very best opportunity for large
landscape effects, with tine sweeping
views over the surroundings, city, farm-
land, the bay ami the hills beyond It.
Origlnall.v the park was a private coun-
tr.v seat, and tliere are many relics of the
early Introduced ornamental conifers,
which are so rarely found In the modern
"grow-up-quIck" gardens. To mention
a few there are Cr.vptomeria japonlea,
Cunnlngliamin sinesis, Tnxodlnm sinen-
sis and distlchuin, Lebanon cedars, etc..
In specimen jilnnts of 40 years and more
of age. Afr. Ftitton's plan is to preserve
the peculiar character of the park, and
all his Iraprovementsare designed with a
view to perfect and enlarge the existing
landscape scener.v. I-^ven though lie is a
Iirogressive man, he believes the spade Is
better than tlie axe. .\lnsl their virtues
are so often confounded. T. E.

Market Xews.
Rosea are looking very fine at all
the establiehmcntB and promise a good
supply for Easter. Carrnations will be
short, as some are really off crop; but
the qualty is A 1. Violets are much too
plentiful just now, but will have all they
can do to hold out for Easter. Princess
of Wales is the favorite this Winter. Bulb-
ous stock is good and plentiful. One
noticeable feature of this stock is that
the public seems to have side-tracked daf-
fodils for tulips.
Pot plants just now keep the florist
guessing. Out of 500 Lilium Harrisil
Scrim will not have 25 sound ones (no
exaggeration). It is the worst lot I have
ever seen. And to show what a gamble
the buying of these lilies is, Graham
Bros, bought theirs from the same firm,
and have a very fine lot. In Japan lon-
giflorums Scrim is not much better off;
from 30 to 40 per cent, of these are mon-
grels, stunted, small-leaved creatures,
about 6 Inches high, and at a standstill,
showing that their only use is to increase
the dump pile. Then, too, 10 per cent,
of these have the straight Harrisil dis-
ease, so altogether the lily business, in
this case at least, is anything but good
thinking. The stock of azaleas is just
right and in any quantity. Splrsea, in
most cases here, is very indifferent, in
some instances no use at all. Whether
due to stocks or climatic influence I don't
know.
Other plants are fully up to the mark.
Some small plants of bougainvillea, cov-
ered with flower, are very salable, and
from personal experience It seems to be a
very good house plant.
Business all round is very fair, and
there is an extra demand for funeral
flowers.
St. Patrick's Day was up to the record.
Everything in the shape of a "genuine
shamrock" was sold, a few plants of
oxalis, the "would-be" shamrock, being
all that was left.
J. Graham has been confined to the
house for the past week with grip, but is
out again. E.
Toronto.
Business Dull.
Business during the past week has
been generally dull, with any quantity of
stock insight. Daffodils, both single and
double, have been a glut and have been
sold at any price, though some of them
were extra fine flowers. Violets have
also been very plentiful, and no fixed
price can be quoted for them, except for
tlie most Be.ect. Carnations, too, have
also been iilundant, but the market is
stiffening up on them again.
Easter stock is not going to be over-
plentiful. In most places lilies, both
Harrisil and longiflorum, are behind.
There will, of course, be some fine plants
available, but they will bring good
prices. Dunlop has a few very extra fine
plants of Bougainvillea Sanderi, some
good azaleas, genistas and lilacs; ana
several growers have a lew lilies, h. p.
roses, etc. The North Toronto Floral
Co. has a good crop of roses in sight.
The weather, which has been generally
dull and cloudy for some weeks, has
brightened up the past day or two, and
the indications are that Spring is here.
If we have much of this warm, bright
weather, violets will not be over-plenti-
ful tor Easter; in several places they are
making long, soft foliage— a sure indica-
tion that their flowering season is nearly
over.
W. J. Lawrence, president of the Gar-
deners and Florists' Association, has
some good ideas for making our chrys-
authemum show this Fall a financial
success; and I fancy, if he gets proper
support, that he will do it.

Trade Satisfactory.
According to the report of the
wholesale meu, bueiuess has been in A No.
1 condition of late. The Bride roses are
bringing 8c.; pink, 6c.; carnations, 3c.
and 4e.. with a decided shortage just
now. American Beauty roses sell at $4
per dozen. The supply of bulb stock has
slackened up and consequently sells out
closer. Quite a lotof Lilium Harrisli are
received that sell for I2V2C. Violet re-
ceipts are not as heavy as in the past;
they brought $3 per 1000 for St. Patrick's
Day, but have gone back to $2.50 per
1000. In all, a very good Lent trade is
being done.
Club Afeeting.
A highly interesting meeting took
place on the 14th Inst. A letter was read
from the directors of the Shaw estate,
declining to give the ^500, as usual, for
an exhibition of cut flowers only, as was
asked for by the club for our annual
flower show. After much discussion we
decided to give a Fall show, even if we

The 10 per cent, of the $500 subscribed
to the World's Fair fund by the Florists'
Club is now due, and the 50 members
will be notified that a voluntary sub-
scription of $1 each is expected of them.
Several members seemed dissatisfied with
this arrangement, which was passed by
the club nearly two years ago at a
meeting when a quorum only was pres-
ent, and it is presumed they will refuse
to contribute toward the fund. Enough,
however, will be found who will sustain
the honor of the club by fulfilling its
obligations.
In the mixed flower show, Ellison & Tes-
son captured first prize, with a fine vase
of Ethel Crocker carnations; F. J. Fill-
more, second, with a vase of mixed roses
and carnations, and Dr. Halstead, third,
with mixed roses. A very fine vase of the
new rose Ivory was placed on exhibi-
tion by the American Rose Co., Washing-
ton, D. C.,and was awarded a certificate
of merit. This is a grand white rose if
It comes generally as good as the flowers
exhibited. The beat papej of our Winter

ject being the cultivation of the rose as
compared with 10 years ago. It was
heartily applauded and Mr. Tesson re-
ceived a vote of thanks. C. C. S.

Trade Notes.
Trade is a little bit dull in Lent—
simply the calm precedinj; the Easter
storm. The supply of good stock is only
equal to the demand and none is going
to waste. This condition keeps the mar-
ket active and the growers and retailers
in good spirits.
March weather is very erratic and
bright sunny mornings are apt to be
succeeded by cloudy, stormy afternoons.
This peculiarity of the weather is not
conducive to the best growth of flowers
and plants, and every day adds lo the
uneasiness and anxiety of those who are
growing stock for Easter. There will be
a good supply of azaleas for that occa-
sion, plenty of cheap bulbous stock, a
fair supply of small flowering plants,
such as cinerarias, primroses, etc. But
lilies, hydrangeas and spiraeas may be
classed as doubtful. Longiflorum seem
to grow slowly, while many of the bulbs
lack vigor and vitality to develop the
buds. In cut flowers there is a good sup-
ply of seasonable stock in view, includ-
ing roses, carnations, violets, lily of the
valley, and Spring bulbous stock.
Country trade is exceptionally good,
and funeral flowers were never used so
lavishly as now. The shipping trade
from this point covers a wide territory,
all of Minnesota, the Dakotas and Mon-
tana, and part of Iowa and Missouri are
tributary to this market. The past few
years has seen a wonderful increase In
this trade, and the future holds a still
greater expansion of the plant and
flower trade to every burg and hamlet
in the country.
An early Easter is beneficial in many
ways, especially to the grower. With
Easter stock out of the way, there is
room made tor Spring bedding plants,
and time this year to grow It before
planting out. Cannas, geraniums. coleus,
ageratum. etc., are always in good de-
mand, and are profitable to raise when
the growers maintain regular prices.
Last season some of the smaller concerns
cut values in order to sell goods, and
later in the season found themselves sold
out while the demand was good at
higher prices. Take the advice of one
who has watched the market for years,
and do not cut prices early In the season.
If necessary to reduce prices in order to
move goods, do it near the end of the
season.
As there is a growing interest manifest-
ed of late years In herbaceous and decidu-
ous shrubs, etc., our florist friends should
assist In cultivating this Interest by
growing some of this stock and calling
their customers' attention to it.
Thestoreaare beginning to put on their
Spring attire and are made bright and
attractive by flowering plants— the fore-
runners of Easter stock.

trade are common each year, however,
and one can never teli early in the season
what the outcome will be. The gratify-
ing fact remains that there is a strong
demand for ail staple articles and that
the cloBe of the season will find most all
stoclse exhausted.
Business in grass seed is opening up
fairly well. The constantly increasing
demand for Bromus Inermis proves the
value and popularity of that grass for
the arid regions of the great Northwest.
As it seems to thrive well everywhere, it
has evidently come to remain and will
become one of the staples. In the cata-
logue trade, which is always fickle and
never alike on similar two consecutive
seasons, there is a big demand for all
fleld seeds, and those who deal heavily in
these lines should reap rich results this
season. There is a good demand for
onion seed and as usual for novelties,
both in the vegetable and flower seed
line. February sales showed a heavy in-
crease over last season, while IVfarch runs
about even with last year. Veritas.
European Notes.
Cold, easterly winds over the whole of
Europe are keeping ail vegetation dor-
mant and drying the soil for the belated
.Spring sowings. As a result peas and
beans are moving off a little more freely,
and there has sprung up a slighti.v im-
proved demand for grass and clover
seeds. The European trade generally is
considerably agitated over the prices at
which turnips, Swedes and mangels, are
quoted by some of the leading retail
firms. In some cases these are not abovt
the wholesale figures quoted by the best
houses in the wholepale trade. The ex-
cuse made by the aforesaid retail dealers
is that as much of the seed now offered
by them was secured in seasons when
values did not rule so high, they are Jus-

tifled In giving their customers the bene-
fit of their own prudence and enterprise,
instead of charging prices based upon the
crop produced during the past season.
There is much to be said on both sides of
this question, but so long as the action
is prompted by a desire to deal gener-
ously with the sadl.v oppressed farming
industry and not with the hope of being
able to clear out stocks of failing germi-
nation, the farmer,at any rate, will have
no cause to complain. But the smaller
country dealers, who as a body carry
very little stock, and are thus dependent
on the season's supplies, are not likely to
coin very much profit this year.
Apropos to this 8ubject,"the following
extract from a very able and temperate
article on the proposal to establish gov-
ernment seed-testing stations in Great
Britain, which appears in the current
issue of the Gardeners' Chronicle, fairly
expresses the common-sense view of the
su bject :
"It comes to this, that a purchaser. If
he is wise, will get his seed from some
firm of established reputation, and he
will then have an assurance that the
transaction will be conducted according
to knowledge, experience and fair deal-
ing. Mistakes will no doubt occasion-
ally occur, but a firm with a reputation
to lose will allow for such mishaps and
treat its clients equitably. The govern-
ment can do little or nothing which the
farmers or seedsmen cannot do for them-
selves if they will take the trouble."
Seed merchants should note that the
variety of seakale named Lily White
forces more quickly and has a much bet-
ter appearance than the old purple-tinged
kind. From roots of both sorts planted
at the same time, the product of the first
named variety was ready for use fully 14
days before the other. As it comes quite
true from seed, there is no impediment
to its culture.
The suggested formation of a National
(why not Universal?) .Sweet Pea Society
in England has been very nearly wrecked
by the Importation into the preliminary
proceedings of considerable personal feel-
ing between the promoters and the sec-
retary of theSweet Pea Bicentenary Cele-
bration, who regarded the movement as
a slight upon the work of bis committee.
Happily wiser counsels have prevailed,
and at the first meeting, held on March
12, it was resolved, on the motion of S.
B. Dicks, that the promoters of the new
society meet and confer with the Bicen-
tenary Committee, with a view of devis-
ing some means whereby a truly national
society may be established.
It is felt that new developments of
great importance may be expected in the
near future, and that the great work
which has been accomplished in America
during the past seven years should be
thoroughly inquired into, and the later
American Introductions be thoroughly
and impartially tested unt'er European
conditions. An adjourned meeting will
be held on March 26.

Our Holland Letter.
It is now possible to venture a guess
about our next bulb crop. Some days
before Christmas many growers began
to remove the thickestcover of reeds from
their hyacinths, because these bulbs
showed their tops in the air on account
of the soft and mild weather of last Au-
tumn. The 5th of January a severe
frost set in and continued (or a fortnight.
A very soft thaw, with an abundance of
rain, drenched the ground; then followed
10 days of wild storm, throwing the thin
reed cover of h.vacinths and tulips into
ditches and canals, so that the young,
tiny plants lay naked and were exposed
to all the roughness of the season. Wet
snowflakes whirled through the air and
by violent gales of wind they formed true
blizzards. When the snow had melted
the weather became freezing again, and
the weak plants stood in the ice. It is
supposed that the young foliage will be
damaged. So the weather remained
until last week; alternately we had to
enjoy rain, frost, snow and thaw. If
next Spring passes without frost, the
prospects for the crop would not be un-
favorable, but if it be as it was a few
years before, many very sad things are
to be expected next Summer.
From Germany, England and France
we learn there will be a great demand lor
hyacinths and tulips next season, on
account of good results and a good mar-
ket, which could be hardly otherwise, as
Italy and the Riviera cannot sufficiently
supply our more northern regions with
flowers, the south of France and the
uorth of Italy being covered with a con-
siderable layerof snow. Even Rome has
been dressed in wlilte.
Last year our bulb dealers who have
their trade in America and in different
European countries constituted an Asso-
ciation of Exporters, with a view to .
obtain more mutual uniformit.v in prices,
and, if possible, to prevent financial loss.
Among the different groups which this
association covers is one for American
exporters. Each member is obliged toi
teli his disagreeable experiences with
his customers, and to list the names of
those who did not pay in due time and
of those who did not pay at all, or took
the liberty to pay only part of their bill,
keeping the balance simply as a deduc-
tion. Those florists who made a cus-
tom of this up to now will experience a
changed condition of things. They are
classed b.v the association as "chlca-
neurs,"and in futureit will be difficult to
get their orders accepted by our export-
ers. The flrst year of the association
was a great success, and the members In-
tend to struggle St rongl.v and diligently,
with all their force, against misuse in the
bulb trade.
I..ast Monday I went to Lisse. It Is a
custom among the principal growers
there to force a fine lot of their best
hyacinths every year. First I went to
Mr. G. van der Mey's place, the winner
of the gold medal at the quinquennial
show of last year, at Haarlem. Illscoi-
lectinn of 150 hyacinths in glasses was
at least as fine as that shown at the
above show. Every flower was a real
giant. Then I visited Messrs. Guidemond
& Son, who exhibited a lot of about 250
hyacinths in pots — giant fiowers displny-
itiit their finest shape and most beautiful
colors. Single blue Potgleher (a novelty
among the hyacinths still), Pleneman
with its immense liells, Grand Lilas. sin-
gle rose Rosea maxima. Moreno, t^ardlnal
WIsemnnn, single white Mme. Van der
Hoop, La GrandoHse, double white Isa-
beilu and Princess von Metternlch (also
a novelty), these and several other va-
rieties vied for the flrst place. Your
American florists never see many of
those plants; only England and Ger-
many know them. J. B.

Crape Myrtle.— Without a doubt far
too little use is made of the crape myrtle
(Lagerstroemiaindica)by nurserymen and
florists. In former days, when the old-
style house cellars were more in use than
they are to-day, the plant was oftener
met with, asit was then housed in the cel-
lar through the Winter. One thing is better
known about it to-day than in the
days spoken of, which is, that in many
cases it needs no housing at all. Tak-
ing Philadelphia as a northern point, It
is hardy from there southward. It is not
hardy enough to stand anywhere On
lawns about Philadelphia, but when It
has once good thick branches, it stands
in sheltered places. But even when cut
back by cold, it starts again from the
base; and if a plant of a few years'
growth, it will flower from the shoots
made near the ground. A good way to
insure a few feet of growth near the
ground is to dump a wheelbarrow load
of sawdust about it in late Autumn, or
even soil would do. Just across the
Pennsylvania line, in Delaware, are the
grounds of J. E. Addicks, who, as I write

tor from Delaware. There can be eeeu
some fine crape myrtles, which In late
Slimmer are the admiration of all that
see them. These are not housed in Win-
ter, but have a slight protection, which
the charm of their appearance when in
flower well repays. In the South there are
several varieties of the crape myrtle. The
type as introduced from China is of a
bright pink color. To thisis to beartded
a rose, a crimson and a white, and the
catalogues of Southern nurseries appenr
to indicate other shades of color.
When it is the desire to let the plant
take its chance outside in Winter, it
should be planted in a rather dryish place
in preference to a low one, to give its
shoots a chance to ripen well before Win-
ter. Much of a plant's hardiness depends
on this more than on the position of the
mercury in Winter. I do not think the
crape myrtle is looked on as hardy, even
In England; indeed, horticultural works
there list it as a stove or greenhouse
plant.
The crape myrtle can be propagated
from green wood in Summer in a green-
house or by hard wood in the open
ground, in Spring.
Transplanting Oaks.— When nursery-
men recommend oaks to their customers
It is almostacertalnty they will be asked,
"Are they not very hard to transplant? "
should the questioner be an amateur.
The nurseryman of to-day knows there
is no particular trouble in transplanting
these trees, let them be of reasonable
Blze,asin the case of other trees; and this
the acres of oaks owned liy many nurseries
fully demonstrate. There are a few
Monarch Orchard Sprayer.
species almost as easily transplanted as
maples; two notable ones are the palus-
tris and the bicolor. Why this should be
it can only be said that both produce
many more roots than most other spe-
cies. It is true that Mr. Stringfellow, of
Texas, thinks the fewer roots a tree has
the better, it the tops are pruned accord-
ingly, but mostpersous prefer the tree to
carry a good top, and this these two
species may be permitted to do because
of their numerous roots. This suggests
that where there arebut few roots pruu-
iog of the top must be resorted to and
this is what must be done in the case of
all other oaks save the two mentioned
and possibly one ormore of tbe Southern
ones. As a rule, but a few pronged roots
are to be found on an oak. When twice
transplanted and well fed with manure,
more small roots are produced. Surface
manuring brings out these roots. Instead
of the two or three deep ones, which
otherwise would only be produced. An
oak once or twice transplanted and then
pruned in well when planted may he safe-
ly expected togrow. Nurserymen usually
sow acornsin beds threefeetiu width, cov-
ering the seed with about two inches of
soil. These seeds rarely tall to grow.
When from two to four years old they
1 are transplanted, and tor the wholesale
trade this one transplanting is sufticient,
• as after standing two or three years the
trees will be well rooted and with good
tops. Op to a height of six feet but a
fair pruning is required; from six to eight
feet closer cutting must be done, and as
the age and height increase, so must the
severity of the pruning.
Quite early in the season is the very
best time to plant, be it Spring or Fall.
Late Spring planting is apt to subject
the trees to the great heat of a forward
Spring before there has been time for the
roots to begin work. Late Fall is almost
as bad. In either case a good mulching
about tlie ground above the roots is to
be recommended.
The two oaks named as being as easy
to transplant as a maple, the palustrls
and bicolor, are quiteunlike in character.
The former has very fine foliage and ji
drooping tendency of the lower branches,
while the bicolor is of massive growth in
all respects; even the foliage, being large
and heavy, is inthisrespectmuchlikethat
of tbe macrocarpa, or mossy cup oak. -
Planting Trees. — In the Middle and
Southern States tree planting has now
well commenced, and the same will soon
be true of more northern localities. Many
a tree planted in a slip-shod way grows,
but many others either fail to grow en-
tirely or progress in a very unsatisfac-
tory manner. Even nursery hands. If
not well overlooked, are apt to pay too
little regard to the future of a tree, and
plant it in such a way that its future
well-being is ditiicult of accomplishment.
Take an Austrian pine, for example. It
makes such a heavy top gr wth that un-
less its roots are strong and in right po-
sitions it will often blow over in heavy
gales. Yet Ave trees out of ten received
from nurseries have their roots all run-
ning in one direction. 'J'his comes from
the system of planting, which as usually
done is to open a long trench, place the
plants in it with roots all in one direc
tion. Those about to set out a lot of
pines or any evergreens would advance
their interests by taking time to properly
spread the roots of the young trees.
Besides a proper adjustment of the
roots.itisa good plan to have the bottom
of the holes dug for trees somewhat
mounded at the base. This gives a
downward direction to the roots, and
when the planting is tinished the tree
stands Brmer than it would otherwise.
An addition of good soil is a wonder-
ful help to a newly set tree, letting it
take the place of soil carted away. It
gives the tree a good send-off, and it
counts for more than one would imagine.
A little pruning is always to be recom-
mended, even when few roots have been
injured in the transplanting. There must
be some check to a tree of this kind, no
matter how carefully the work of trans-
planting is done, and this check is coun-
terbalanced by pruning away some of
the top. Very often a thinning out of
some weak shoots is sufficient, as it mat-
ters not where the pruning is done, so
that a reduction of the top is accom-
plished.
Trees and shrubs do best when planted
early. Do the work as soon as the soil
dries a little, permitting of its being
worked without clogging. When the soil
is moderately dry, it can be worked in
about the roots to better advantage;
and this is most necessary to be success-
ful. The firmer the soil is in close con-
tact with the roots, the greater the
chances of success.
Watering is rarely necessary in Spring,
especially when the planting is done
early. It needs no saying that the roots
must have moisture, and should it be a
dry time it may be necessary to water.
Though usually unnecessary in Spring
planting, it would riot be likely to cause
injury, and should the soil appear dry, it
would do no harm to give a good water-
ing.
Setting OutHonie Stock. — Oneof the
commonest mistakes of young beginners
in the nursery business, and of many old
hands, too, for that matter, is to let the
planting out of home stock be secondary
to selling. I do not mean that custom-
ers should not have every attention, as
it is clear that the raising of stock is of
no use if no preparations are made to
sell it. Rut whatisoften seen isthe whole
of the nursery force engaged in the work
of digging and deliveiitig orders, leaving
the planting of the young stock in the

nursery to the last, or until selling is
over. Lack of cash is f)ften ausweralile
for this, the proprietor feeling himself
unable to einjiloy adilitlonnl hands to do
the pluntliJg at home. This, however,
is false economy. Trees and shrubs
I)lanted just as soon as thefrost is out of
tbe ground will flourish ever so much
better than thoEc set out a month later.
The beet systematized establishments

JOSKPH Meehan.
Some Desirable Evergreens.
Editor Florists^ Exchange:
1 have been much interested in Mr.
Meehan's recent articles on evergreens in
The Flohists' Excua.nge, and have
waited expectantly for bis comments on
two or three kindsin which I have found
much pleasure, but as he semis to have
neglected them thus far, I am going to
ask you to allow meto call his attention
to them.
The flrst is the golden pine (I'inus den-
slflora aurea, formerly known as P.
sylvestris aurea), which is one of the
most beautiful of conifers, being perfectly
hardy at .New York (.:ity, stanUiug the
Winter sun well and presenting quite a
unique appearance. Another beautiful
specimen plant is the sun-ray piue(Pinus
Massoniana variegata), although I can-
not say just how hardy it is, as I have
always given some protection. The
golden form of the red cedar (Juniperus
Virgiulana variegata) is a neglected but
very showy tree and stands our climate
well — in fact, the ordinary red cedar is
the commonestevergreen treeinthis part
of the country. Biota orient alls elegan-
tissima, commonly known as Kobinson's
Arbor vit;p, also does well with us. The
new growth of Spring is of pure gold,
but as the season advances it assumes a
bronzy green, which changes again, after
cold weather sets in, to an iron-rust or
deep bronze color. It is very interesting
to watch it pass from the bronze age
into the golden age during the flrst few
warm days that come this way.
Retinospora filifera, both the green
and golden, are evergreen gems; they
withstand our Winters, and in time form
strikingly beautiful specimens. 1 have
seen a plant of the golden filifera about
25 years old, which, with its long, yel
low, thread-like branches drooping to
the ground, made a living fountain. This
quartercentury-old plant is not more
than four feet high.
Still another little beauty is the golden
juniper (Juniperus canadensis aurea). It
is hardy, and having the same open,
spreading habit of growth as its green
brother which adorns so manyoftbeNew
England hilli-ides. It has an individuality
in form as well as in color.
The last I will mention is the blue
cedar (Cedrus Atlanticaglauca),thecolor
of which is as good as that of the blue
spruce.and whose short, bristling needles
give it a ferocious aspect all its own. Of
the Picea pungens glauca 1 need not
speak, tor while it has many merits. It
also has many admirers to sing Its
praises.
If Mr. Ateehan will glance over my list
I think lie will And some or all of the
plants 1 have named worthy of a more
extended mention in your pages.

Some Good Sprayers.
The Century Sprayer, shown by the
above cut, is one of Deming & Co.'s (Sa-
lem, O.) popular orchard sprayers. This
pump is liked wherever used. It is very
durable in construction, has brass cylin-
der, brass ball valves. Deming automatic
agitator, and everlasting fabric plunger
packing, and the iiabiiity to get out of
order is reduced to a minimum. How to
spray is learned from ".Spraying for
ProHt," an illustrated 72-page book of
which the Deming Company has ptir-
chased an edition, and which readers of
oUr paper can get from them at 10 cents
percoijy. Their spray pump catalogue
will also be sent with this book on appli-
cation to the firm.
The other illustration shows the Mon
arch Orchard Sprayer, manufactured by
the Field Force Co. of Lockport, N. Y.
Its distinctive features are the storage
chamber on the front part of tlie plat-
form and the sprocket gears which oper-
ate the brass double cylinder pump
mounted on a ISO-gallon tank in the rear.
By thisarrangementpressure in the stor-
age chamber is raised to 150 pounds
while the machine is being driven from
one tree to another. The storage cham-
ber also contains 12 gallons of liquid.
The pressure generated gives enough re-
serve force to spray from five to ten min-
utes with two Vermorel nozzles. This is
ample for spraying the largest orchard
tree. A hand pump is provided, eo that
if more time is required the necessary
pressure is supplied. The working parts
of the pump are of brass. The machine
can be thrown in and out of gear. The
wagon has iron wheels and four-inch
tires. Tlie pump is provided with an
agitator and automatic tirushes for
cleaning the suction strainers.

Among Growers.
Godfrey Aschmann Is, as usual, do-
ing a very extensive business in Easter
plants. He has a very large steels of aza-
leas in sizes from 5-inch pots to large speci-
mens, all well flowered and in good shape
for Easter. Splra'as are very numerous
and well done. He has also a very good lot
of lilies, but, like many othergrowers, has
some plants which will not be in for
Easter; and these are plants which
looked the best of the lot six weeks ago.
In tulips there are a good lot of Tourne-
sol in ■i-inch pots just right. Hyacinths
are also good; some trouble has been ex-
perienced in getting some varieties to
flower well, Baroness Von Thuyl white
and Voltaire pink being the worst. It is
thought these varieties will not stand as
much cold as others, as the rest of the
varieties are flowering very well. There
are also about a thousand cinerarias
now In cold frames in full bloom — agood
lot of plants for store trade. Colors well
assorted. A batch of geranium Bruant
in full flower is also selling well; these
are in 5-inch pots and are good plants.
The majority of Mr. Aschmann's orders
are duplicates of last year's, showing
that satisfaction must have been given
then. David Rust.

Stasf-horn Ferns.
It seems strange, even surprising, that
tlie decorative importance of tlie platy-
cerlums is not more gencraliy recognized
tlian it is at the present time, as there
are few, iT any, plants better suited to
impart a rustic gracefulness to decora-
tive work. I am inclined to tbinis that
the charge of neglect cannot be laid at
the door of the decorator, as he can only
use what Is supplied to him, but to the
grower,who is apt to be too conserva-
tive in the matter of what he grows and
hard to get to depart from the general
routine of things.
The stag-horn ferns are plants of easy
culture, but the fact of their being some-
what slow of growth and of little service
in a small state has probably a good
deal to do with their not being more ex-
tensively grown. They cannot be raised
from spores, which are produced freely on
all the varieties after a certain size is at-
tained; but when stock can be procured,
the quickest method of increase is by
division or by root buds. These root
buds are freely produced on most of the
varieties, appearing between or even on
the surface of the partially decayed fertile
leaves, between which the roots are freely
layered. It is not advisable to remove
the root buds at too small a stage; but,
on the other hand, if allowed to become
too large, they cannot be removed with
sutficieut rootsadherlng wlthoutdamage
to the old plants.
They may be placed on blocks at once
if desired, but we find it more convenient
to pot tiiem first. Three-inch pots will
usually be found large enough to accom-
modate them. These pots are 8rst well
filled with crocks; over this a layer of
peat is placed, the peat being well firmed
and rounded somewhat above the level
of the pot as the plants are placed. If
kept well sprinkled, shaded and rather
close they soon begin to take to their
new quarters.
When the plants have attained suffi-
cient size to pretty well cover the surface
of the pots, they can be removed with
the peat adliering and, if desired, potted
on as before described into larger pots or
pans. But a more natural position is in
baskets or fastened on blocks of cork or
wood. In either case the only material
used should be fibrous peat, and on the
The Century's
Novelties in Azaleas
ARE
HAERENSIANA,
or Easter Lady.
The largest and most double pink
Azalea yet grown. It is a very soft
pink with white border, nicely undu-
lated. It flowers just for Easter; it
keeps longer in bloom than any other
Azalea ; is a strong, compact grower ;
has a beautiful dark green foliage
which does not drop in transit. It
does not sport or break red like Ver-
vajneana and other pink Azaleas.
2d,
Louise Cuveliers,
the mother flower of Haerensiana,
has all the merits of same, only dif-
fers in color, this being a clear white
with tew light rosy stripes.
Both varieties are offered to the trade in
nice bushy crowns, 1 0 to 1 5 in. diam.

blocks only enough need be used to retain
sulficient moisture until the roots have
got a good hold. These ferns being
largely of an epiphytal nature, sufficient
moisture and suitable atmospheric con-
ditions are the principal necessities for
their well-being.
Of the several varieties P. alcicorne,
being the hardiest. Is probably the best
for the purpose in view. This and its
variety P. a. majus will do well at a
temperature 45 to 50 degrees by night
and from 55 to (30 degrees by day during
the Winter months. The variety P.
Willinckii will also do well in a similar
temperature. The fertile fronds of the
latter assume more of a drooping form
and are displayed to best advantage
when grown on blocks.
There are several other distinct and
good varieties, but they mostly require a
range of temperature at least 10 degrees
higher than the foregoing to keep them
growing through the Winter months.

The Special Edition,
To produce the 10,000 copies of the
Special Edition, which was all mailed
out on Friday evening and Saturday of
last week, March 22 and 23, there was
consumed 80 reams of paper (512 sheets
to the ream, in all 40,960 sheets), weigh-
ing 70 lbs. to the ream, for the Inside
pages, and IOV2 reams cover, weighing
60 lbs. to the ream ; in all 6,225 pounds
(over three tons) of paper. Quite a
marked contrast when compared with
our first Special Spring Trade Edition,
issued in 1890, which consumed proba-
bly 180 pounds. Truly, the trade grows
and grows.
And The Florists' Exchange, to nil
appearance, is keeping well up with this
development.
OUR SUPPLEMENT,
Ilex Crenata (Japanese Holly) Etc.
Although this photograph is intended
more eapecially to show the Japanese
holly (Ilex crenata ), there are other sub-
jects caught by the camera of which men-
tion will be made as I proceed with my
notes. The Ilex was deemed worthy of
being photographed becauseof the rarity
of its size in this locality, and because It
will be news to many that this valuable
evergreen is quite hardy here (Fairmount
Park, Philadelphia). And as so many
Japanese trees and shrubs are hardy
much further north than this, there seems
no room to doubt this will prove equally
so. At the Centennial Exposition, in
1876, nurserymen made displays of trees
and shrubs, and we think we are right
in saving that all the collections after-
ward became the property of the park,
and that this ilex was In one of said col-
lections. Itlsnow about 10 feet in height
and of beautiful proportions. The leaves
aresmall.not unliketbose of a cotoneast-
er,and It Is a true evergreen. Wehave never
happened near it at flowering time In
Spring that its spx might be determined,
hut It Is a male form, without much
douht, as we have never seen a berry on
it. Its value will beto add another hardy
evergreen to our present very small list.
We should say that there are no spines
to the foliaare. such as so many hollies
are armed with. What is needed now is
to have the berry-bearing form imported
and propagated. Probably this plant
was raised from cuttings, as It is not
difficult to propagate In this way, and
as others may be propagated from it a
tribe of male forms will be distributed.
The opinion that all hollies were either
male or female used to prevail and may
still be held by some, but there Is ample
evidence of hollies bearing berries when
far removed from any other. The
large hickor.v. Carya tomentosa, on the
left of the picture, is the species having
very large leaves and large, round four-
angled nuts. This particular tree was a
few years ago far from being the busby
specimen it is now. Mr. Miller had It
pruned In sharply, which has greatly im-
proved its appearance. Thistreein com-
mon with thousands of others, is a na-
tive of the park. About the trunk, the
English ivy has formed a green mass. It
is belne permitted to run up many trees
here, as it greatly Improves their ap-
pearance and harms nothing, so long as
It does not encroach on the foliage of the
trees. Under the hickory will be
seen a nice specimen of the Chinese wist-
aria In" tree "shape, as It is called. This
vine q uickly forms a tree or shrub by tying
It to a stake for a few years: in time the
shoots stiffen enough to hold themselves
up without a stake, when it Is ready to
be taken from the list of vines. When in this
shape wistarias flower profusely and are
most ornamental. The Chinese(sinensl8),
which is the one before us in the picture, is
much the best of all for the purpose. The
native one, W. fruteseens. requires more
time to accomplish the same result.
The bushy shrub on the right
is the European beech, Fagus svl-
vatica, and In addition to what notice
its beauty will create.Itwili be of interest
In view of what has been said of it under
the head of the blood leaved beech. The
shining green leaf of the beech makes it
always admired; and then, large tree
though It he when full-grown, it can be
pruned constantly and kept down to
almost any size. It Is one of the most
useful trees the landscape gardener can
handle, as he may plant it either where
a small tree or a large one is wanted.
With the ilex for the center and the hick-
ory, tree wistaria and beech grouped
about it, a beautiful scene is represented
in the illustration, J. M,
The F. H, A,
The men who were primarily responsi-
ble for the corporateexistence of the Flo-
rists' Hail Association have, since 1887,
achieved considerable distinction. Wm.
M. Johnson, who drew up the act, has
since that time been twice elected to the
State Senate of New Jersey, has served as
governor of the State of New Jersey, and
is now First Assistant Postmaster-Gen-
eral of the Dnited States. The act was in-
troduced by ex-Assemblyman Peter I.
Ackerman, now president of the First
National Bank of Ridgewood, and was
chaperoned by ex-Senator John W.
Bogert, nowajudgeoftheCourtof Errors
and Appeals of New Jersey. All of these
gentlemen have always taken a friendly
interest in their prot^gfi, and quite recent-
ly when yourcorrespondentstated to Mr.
Ackerman, the legal father of the associ-
ation, that the Florists' Hail Association
was carrying nearly a million dollars'
worth of risks, he observed: "It looked
like a small thing when we passed that
act. but in the light of what has since
transpired, I feel that at least one legis-
lative act of mine has borne fruit."
AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY,
Preparing for the 1902 Meeting.
The Florists' Association of Indiana
at its meeting to be held in the Denison
Hotel, Indianapolis, April 2, at 8 p. ui.,
will make preliminary arrangements for
the annual meeting and exhibition of the
American Carnation Society for 1902.
A circular recently issued by Secretary
McKeand states: "We hope this will be
the banner meeting, and we are all ready
and willing to make the convention and
exhibition the best of them all. As this
State has been honored by the election of
three principal officers of the society. It
behooves us to do our best."
Greenhouse Heating:.
Our Question Box this week contains
numerous inquiries on the subject of
greenhouse heating and some relative to
greenhouse building. Accompanying one
of the questions were two sketches show-
ing diagrams of the structures regarding
which information was sought, and these
wehave reproduced, as models of what
we should like to obtain from other sub-
scribers who desire instruction In the mat
ter of greenhouse heating. Draw your dia-
grams neatly and to a scale that will fit
within 61/2 inches wide. Use jet black Ink.
These will be of assistance not only to
the gentleman supplying the desired in-
formation, but also to the general
reader, no doubt.
The National Rose Society of England
has insured, or is about to insure with
Lloyds, for the purpose of protecting
themselves against loss in the event of the
weather proving wet during the day on
which the show is to be held in the Temple
Gardens. A rain gauge is to beset up, and
if the rainfall is proved toexceedacerlain
amount, the society will be guaranteed
against loss. Of coursetheaveragenum-
ber of rainy days in July and the aver-
age rainfall in London In that and other
months is fairly well established, so that
the element of chance is to a considerable
extent eliminated.
An effort is making to introduce the
study of window gardening into the New
York schools. It is said the Society of
Intensive Gardening, Philadelphia, which
teaches young people how to plant and
cultivate, is planning a campaign in the
metropolis.
The governments of Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick and Prince Edward Island
are jointly founding a Maritime College
of Horticulture and Agriculture.
Adolf Ober, florist, Havana, Cuba, Is
gathering material with which to make
a Cuban tropical garden at the Pan-
American Exposition.
Sub-Tropical Gardening:.
In the list of plants printed on page"
301 of last week's issue No. 5 was given
as Alocasia macrorhiza variegata; it
should have been Colocasia odorata;
and No. 6, which is omitted in the list,
the first named.
OBTTUARY.
Julius Wolff.
Julius Wolff, one of the old-time florists
of Philadelphia, died on Saturday last,
March 23. He came to this country from
Germany in 1853, and was at one time
foreman for Henry A. Dreer. Later he
filled a similar position with Miller &
Yates, at Mount Airy. In 1872 he suc-
ceeded W. Neiison in the small nursery
and greenhouse business on RidgeAvenue,
the location being what is now Cumber-
land Street. Subsequently he bought
some ground at Ridge Avenue and Dau-
phin Street, where he built several green-
houses and had since conducted business
there. Mr. Wolff had been In failing health
for two years past. D.JR.
C. J, Power,
Charles Jackson Power, of South Fram-
Ingham, Mass., died March 25, aged
77 years. He wasborn in Boston. De-
ceased always had a great liking for
flowers, and soon after his family moved
to South Framingham, in 1860, from
Boston he estabiislied conservatories on
Concord and Clinton Streets, which he
conductedon a large scale until his health
failed him some years ago, when he re-
tired from active business pursuits.
Mr. Power was the pioneer of the
growers of bulbous stock for the Boston
market, having established this business
on a small scale In 1850. A few years
later he added quite an extensive nursery
business to his undertaking, but as the
land in his neighborhood Increased rap-
idly in value, he disposed of portions of it
from time to time, only retaining a little
outside of the greenhouses, where his
bulb trade had increased wonderfully.
About four years ago Mrs. Power, wife
of deceased, died, and he sold out the
business to J. Thomas ("Tom ") Butter-
worth, who had been his foreman for
many years, and who still carries it on
ver.y successfully. The funeral was held
on Wednesday morning. F. J. N.
John Feeney,
John Feeney, during more than 40
years oneof Newport's leading landscape
gardeners, died March 16, after a short
illness. He was foreman for Thomas
Galvin. He leaves a widow, three sons
and a daughter. Hewasoneof the most
influential members of St. Mary's Roman
Catholic Church, and ^belonged to many
Catholic societies.

"A Fool's Reverie."
^Editor Florists^ Exchange:
Wat son of toil or literary genius (?)
is lie who would burn the midnight oil to
inflict upon the editor of your esteemed
contemporary such a castigation as ap-
peared in its recent issue, under the ap"
propriate nom de plume of " The Fool"?
Is the editor starved forgood copy ? Has
Kaster shortened the harvest, that he
must needs have recourse to a " Komic
Korner"? He does not seem hungry tor,
but apologizes tor the unpilatable mor-
sel, and then swallows it whole, feathers
and all. Perhaps "The FooT' has a lit-
erary style of the rag-time impressionist
school, and, like his proverbial double,
"walks in where angels tear to tread.''
Perhaps, again, he is Irresistible. Ah me!
Assume a virtue, even it ye have it not.
But why sign " The Fool"? Are we to
take him seriously, or does he presume
his identity is lost? There is on record,
and 1 am sure our literary friend (with
due caution I say literary — you cannot
be an O. H., though possibly an H. O. or
Quaker Oats) has heard of the ass who
donned the lion's skin; but that did
not avail, for, in the parlance of Chuck
Connors," we can see your feet" — literary
feet, too, though I do not think there
was an attempt at prosiness.
Butlamdigreseing. The ear-marks and
literary style of our worthy friend stick
out in protuberances like the knots on a
gnarled oak. :,Stlll, why hide your light
under a bushel or in a mushroom cellar,
where ;the wise men cannot see to
partake ot your tree of knowledge and
drink of the cup tbatis overflowing with
your wisdom and inwardly digest it?
Why not proclaim to the horticultural
world and the "O. H.'s" and progeuy,
and appoint yourself the Mecca of Flora
and all her intricate art? Why not sound
the timbrel and megaphone to the
earth's four corners and say I am the
personification, the eureka ot business
methods as applied to her art; I have
discovered Dtopia and the philosopher's
stone; I am the Sequoia gigantea, and
not the modest violet doomed "to blush
unseen"? You, sir, do yourself an injus-
tice under the cognomen of "The Fool."
You are at once a botanist, florist, seeds-
man, landscape artist, ad infinitum,
rolled into one; a kaleidoscopB of the
very art thatlslitselt nature. Y'our motto
should be now and for all time—" Git on
to me."
Come forward, sir, or else " back to
the woods." Throw off thiscloak ot Tan-
talus, so that we, too, may learn thy in-
finite jest, thy power, knowledge and
wisdom or "forever hold thy peace, "or
anon be a beacon light to the horticul-
tural world, whose ways are beset with
thy platitudes, quotations, and omnipo-
teuce, and lastly, our own importunities.
Moral: Fools are born, not made.

Sterilizing Greenhouse Soil.
Editor Florists' Exchange:
I notice some difference of oiiinion in
regard to sterilizing greenhouse soil.
Some hold that this process destroys the
vitality of the siiil; the other side says It
Improves its quality. Who is right? I
think both are, under circumstances. If
the earth is put into a pan, a fire built
under it, and the fire made too strong,
then the vegetable matt''r contained in
the soil so sterilized is destroyed, burned
up; and soli so treated is as useless as a
body without a soul. Care should there-
fore be taken not to overdo the thing.
To destroy fungus and other germs, in-
sects and weed seeds, it is only necessary
to raise the heat to 212 degrees. This
can be done with little or no expense, as
I have pointed out in a previous Issue of
The Exchange. C. Evekding.

bns closed out his business on Merrlmac

Carnation Beau Ideal.— We have re
ceived from the Norwood Floral Co.,
Norwood, R. I., a nice bunch of their new
carnation Beau Ideal. The color is a
pleasing pink, closely resembling Day-
break, and the flower is carried on a
good stem. The introducers call it an
improved Daybreak, and the bunch of
flowers received herearecertainly worthy
ot that distinction. The variet.v is the
result of a cross between Mrs. Fisher and
Daybreak, and has been the recipient ot
several certificates of merit; also one
silver medal.
Carnation Liberty. — M. L. Tirrell,
Randolph, Mass.. sends us some blooms
of his carnation Liberty. He says:" It, I
think, is the most free-blooming carna-
tion in existence. Itneversplits its calyx,
the plants are very thrifty and perfectly
healthy, and the color is one which takes
among retailers, as it sells for either red
or pink. The size fin an average is about
21/2 inches in diameter, stem stiff and
strong, about 2 feet in length. Ithink it
will grow well with almostany kind of
treatmentin almost any kindot soil. It
has been tried in l^ennsylvanla, Connecti-
cut and .Massachusetts, withsimllar good
results."
The flowers came In good condition
and liear out Mr. Tirrell's statement as
to size, calyx and stem.
Seedling Carnations.— P. Helllg, ot
Franklin, Pa., 8ends_us albunch^of his
seedlings. No. 129-99 is a finely formed,
puie white flower, measuring 31/2 Inches,
with perfect calyx and carried on good
stiff stem. This variety has decided
merit. There is also a clear yellow that
is good. The rest of the seedlings hardly
equal existing varieties, thougli the ma-
genta and deep maroon-colored ones are
nice flowers, but the colors are undesira-
ble.

The Pruning: of Trees, Shrubs, etc.
Before the Germantosvn Horticultural
Society at its last meeting S. Mendeleon
Meehan, of the firm of Thomas Meehan &
Sons, delivered an address on the proper
pruning of trees, shrubs, vines, fruits, etc.,
the following abstract of which we are
pleased to place before our readers:
Mr. Meehan's address completely cov-
ered the essential points in the careful
pruDiDgof trees and shrubs for ornament,
shade, fruit, etc. He first cautioned his
practicable, cut out the weak ones. It is
important to keep in mindthatthegreat-
est strength of most all trees is toward
the top, because of the tendency of sap to
ascend as high as possible, therefore if
strong, low branches are desired they
should not be pruned, but rather check
the top a little in Summer. "Bleeding"
from wounds has never been shown
harmful. It is largely excess sap. In
pruning branches should be cut off
smoothly and comparatively near the
larger trunks; If stumps be left they most

Rose Society.
hearers that horticultural advice of all
kinds should be tempered with judgment
according to the case in hand and the
results to be desired. No two trees c^n
be pruned precisely alike, therefore it is
important to become familiar with the
varying characters of plants, and above
all with the functions of leaves and roots,
the growth of wood or bark, the nature
and mission of sap, the cause for decay,
etc.
To prepare the way for a more perfect
understanding of his further remarks,
Mr. Meehan gave a sketch of how new
wood is formed annually by the addition
of minute cells, resembling a honeycomb.
These cells are maintained by food per-
fected from the sap taken through the
roots. Crude sap was explained to be
largely water simply acting as a carrier.
This water, after completing its mission,
passes from the tree by evaporation
through minute pores chiefly existing in
the leaves. Returning to the cells, it was
explained that they only flourish, as a
rule, in the presence of lightandair, with-
out which the growth is at least weak
and unsatisfactory. The "heart" of a
fair-sized tree or branch contains little or
no lite, the latter being centered in the
young growing cells; but preservation
of this comparatively lifeless wood is
effected by the surrounding growing cells
and bark. While living wood requires
air and light, dead wood is subject to
fungus decay. The roots of a tree bal-
ance its top. That is to say, there is
just about suflicientroottomaintain and
increase the top, therefore if any roots
are removed by some cause, the top
growth receives a check; while a re-
moval of the top undercertain conditions
makes a surplus of nourishment in the
root which cannot be expended, and to
some degree the tree is weakened, more
particularly if it occurs in Summer,
when the roots are active.
The course of remarks was directed to
pruning as applicable to certain things,
the first considered being the pruning
of deciduous trees for shade or orna-
ment.
Chief stress was laid on the differing re-
sults of Summer and Winter pruning, the
former having the effect of strengthening
the lower and side branches, if they be
left unpruned, while the Winter pruning
allowed of the upward tendency of
growth. Summer pruning should never
be as severe as may be done in Winter;
and whenever possible it is desirable to
thin out branches entirely rather than
prune all. Wbere there are already nu-
merous strong branches and thinning is
frequently decay. A preventive of decay
is the painting of wounds with some
thjck paint or shellac to keep away air
and moisture. Some pruning is nearly
always desirable in the case of trees just
transplanted. It is impossible to dig
them without cutting a few roots and
disturbing the food-gathering fibers of all,
making them incapable of perfectly sup-
porting all the top. The planter must
judge largely by the character of the root
and top how much to cut away. In all
cases Winter pruning should be followed
the Summer afterby anexamination,and
branches too numerous thinned out and
dead stumps cut away and the wounds
repainted.
The pruning of evergreens is usually
done to keep them compact and well
clothed with foliage. Frequent pruning
is necessary, but only in moderation each
time. Most evergreens should not be
pruned so sharply as to cut into old,
weak wood; and the lower branches,
naturally weaker than the others, shoud
be left unpruned unless straggling. This
affects hedge pruning very much, and
care should be taken to prune them con-
ically instead of flat on top and sides.
Some few evergreens, like theyew,may be
pruned to great advantage in earl.v
Summer, the white pine making an excel-
lent hedge.
In Mr. Meehan's opinion "shrub
butchers" are quite as prevalent as the
well-known "tree butchers." One of the
greatest mistakes is in shearing shrubs
off in round tops, instead of thinning
out the old wood which has flowered.
Spring flowers are from buds formed on
wood of the previous year's growth, and
shrubs which flower early must be pruned
in Summer just after flowering if the
flowers are desired. By using fiowers
from shrubs for vases indoors natural
pruning is effected and the tables decorat-
ed. Fall and Summer flowering shrubs
producing flowering buds on new wood
made the same year of flowering should
be pruned in 'Winter. The sharper the
pruning the stronger the growth and
the flowers are better.
Fruit trees like apples, peaches and
plums should be pruned so as to make
low, spreading tops. Keep the top open
by thmning out the branches, thereby
admitting air and light for the p'roduc-
tion of healthy growth, foliage and fine
fruit. The pruning of fruit trees has been
reduced to a science. Trees In bearing
require especial care, as the fruit is most-
ly borne on spurs or twigs accompanying
strong branches. Therefore these spurs
mustbeencouraged. This may be induced
by a little Summer pruning or by root
pruning, being careful to avoid making
too many small, weak branches. Peach
trees, because of rank growth, are always
pruned very severely; cherry trees sel-
dom require pruning.
Grapevines should be started right,
with, say, two main lateral branches ex-
tending on the trellis in opposite direc-
tions. From these upright stems are al-
lowed to grow the following year for
fruiting. Kach Winter the fruiting later-
als are cut back to one good bud. After
fruit issetin Summer the grow this stop
ped by pinching off the young tops three
or more leaves beyond the fruit. This
method keeps the fruit low on the vines,
the wood strong and the quality of fruit
and size of bunches improved.
Raspberries and blackberries fruit on
heavy canes made the preceding year.
After fruiting they should be cut out and
the new canes will bear the next year.
As the canes are growing the tops are
pinched out when three or four feet high,
inducing laterals, which are in turna
pinched off when about a foot long.
Currants and gooseberries fruit on
wood two or more years old. Very odi
wood should be cut out and be replacd
by strong, young growth. Thebranches
should not be allowed to crowd each
other, but be thinned out perhaps annual-
ly if need be.
Eren strawberries are benefited
through keeping the runners cut off.
Dense-growing porch vines, like the
honeysuckle, should be pruned much
lower than customary, to prevent all the
growth being at the top of the trellis.
Some vines, like shrubs spoken of, bloom
in early Spring and should not be pruned
till after the flowering period. The
akebia and wistaria are examples.
Hyridb roses should be Summer pruned
to encourage very heavy canes, which
will be sure to produce the best flowers.
In closing his remarks Mr. Meehan
called attention to certain points already
mentioned as being most essential in
pruning of all character.
1. Observe carefully the flowering
season, pruning Spring flowering plants
in Summer when through flowering, and
Summer and Fall flowering ones sharply
in Winter.
2. Thin out branches where possible
rather than heading back in all quarters,
taking the weak branches and leaving
the strong, unless too strong, forgood ap-
pearance and symmetrical growth.
facts of his address in greater detail and
print it for free distribution to those ap-
plying for it. The subject is very large
and much abused In practice by those
who are not sufficiently acquainted with
the fundamental principles of pruning
and the varying character of individ-
ual trees.
BRIEFS FOR BUSY FLORISTS,
Seeds. — The main crop of all the half-
hardy annuals used for bedding and cut-
flower purposes should be sown about
this time. When the flats or pans are
filled with soil, give them a good water-
ing and then let them standtwo or three
hours before sowing the seed. This will
put the soil in the right condition to re-
ceive the seed and is far better than hav-
ing to use much water right after the
seed Is sown, as is the case when the soil
is at all dry. When sowing the seed,
cover very slightly with fine sifted soil;
press the surface gently down to firm the
sefds; then cover with a sheet of paper.
Examine the seed pans every day, and
when the surface appears dry, sprinkle
lightly with water from a rubber sprayer,
to use an ordinary watering pot for the
seeds will result in washing them away,
unless the watering potisin the hands of
a skilled workman.
The hardy phlox is gaining much In
favor, and there are now many fine varie-
ties to be had of this beautiful garden
plant. Wherever flower borders are to
be planted some of the perennial phlox
should be used, and those who do a regu-
lar planting-out business will do well to
have a stock of these plants on hand
when the season opens.
Cycas stems are beginning to arrive.
When potting them up, it Is just as well
to put them into as small-sized pots as
possible. One inch of soil around the
stem is plenty to start them in. Plunge
the pots in bottom heat and the stems
start freely. After roots have penetrated
the soil the cycas can easily be repotted,
and by using as small pots as possible
to start them in there has been a saving
of space on the bench where the bottom
heat was provided.
Easter will be here next week, and
every good flowering plant will no doubt
find a market. Try to have everything
hardened off a few days In a cool house
before being sold, and your customers

The Question of Color Relative to Flowers.
BY F. SCHUYLER AATHEWS.
In two papers previous to this we have
considered some of the simplest colors
which are found among the flowers.
They are at once recognized In the prism
as 1 have already shown: yellow, gold-
yellow, orange, scarlet, red, crimson,
magenta, purple, violet, ultramarine, and
blue— these are the A B C of colors and
color names; they are the generic terms
which we mustconsiderasa proper basis
on which to found a color nomenclature.
But before we proceed further in the maze
of color names, with an attempt to sepa-
rate the useless from the useful, it will be
wise to consult the dictionary. There
are two authorities which are immedi-
ately available in almost every public
library la the country, the Century Dic-
tionary and the Standard Dictionary
( Funk & Wagualls Company). The Cen-
tury, which is b.v all odds the most ex-
plicit and scientific in its definition of
color names, dismisses magenta without
locating it in the spectrum, and without
even dehning it as a positive purple-red;
that seems disappointing. But some of
the other definitions are quite satisfac-
tory; for Instance, yellow is described as
the color of the greatest luminosity, with
a wave length of 0.581 micron (micron
means a millionth part of ameter, or^s'inn
of an inch); it is that region of the spec-
trum bounded by scarlet on one side and
emerald-green on the other. Lemon-yel-
low is cited as pure, but I am surprised
to And sulphur-yellow defined as a trifle
greenish; that this is not true I think I
could easily demonstrate by a compara-
tive analysis of color. But we will pass
that, and accept the dictum that lemon-
yellow is a standard pure yellow. The
definitions given of purple, crimson, scar-
let, blue, and violet are unexceptionable,
and under the title of purple, the table
showing the percentage of red, blue,
black, and white for the color names —
dahlia, heliotrope, magenta, mauve,
plum, royal, etc., are excellent and useful
to one who possesses a paint box. It
would be difficult, however, for any one
to demonstrate these colors on paper
without a very careful adjustment of
pure powder colors, with admixtures of
ivory-black and Chinese white.
Now suppose we turn to Funk & Wag-
nails' Standard Dictionary. Here we will
And a color chart with 48 samples of
color, prepared with tlieutmostregardfor
truth of tint and hue. If the first color
on this chart Is Intended to represent an
absolute pure red tree from either yellow
or blue, I should sav It was all wrong;
it Is actually a scarlet. A comparison of
this color with that labeled *' pure red"
on the chart which I am responsible for
in the American Florist of August 17,
1895, will show what a vast difference
there is between colors of a certain name
on charts which are supposed to furnish
the public with accurate information.
The orange on both thesecharts happens
to be the same, and that fact, to say the
least, is staggering. Certainly It ought
to Inspire the public withsomeconfidence
as to what orange actually is. As tor
the third color, .yellow, on the Stand-
ard Dictionary chart, if what the ( en-
tury Dictionary says is true, that lemon-
yellow is pure yellow, then the " lemon "
or ;5(;th color on the " Standard " chart,
ought to be transferred to the position
which the third coloroccuples. The fact
is, the more one studies this chart, the
more one is convinced that it is not a
gnod guide. There Is too small an Inter-
val between magenta and purple; the
Halniou-plnk Is about flesh color; the
I nrry is a dilute scarlet; the turquoise
in absurdly pale and bluish; mauve is
nothing more than lilac; robin's-egg blue
id pale enough to shock the bird into a
belief that the egg is not her own; Nile
green is more properly Nile blue; and
lilac is altogether too deep. Now, in
sfjite of the fact that this chart bears
every evidence of study and care. It must
bi' admitted that it is a very poor guide
for an accurate Identification of color,
and the least that can he said is — don't
try to follow it. So far as color names
go, some of these, although popular,
ought certainl.y to be put aside aH useless.
1 allude to caf6-au-lait. ^cru, coffee, sap-
phire, mauve, dove, pearl gray, melon,
cyan-blue, and seal-brown. X see no rea
son why a thousand color names should
not be employed if as many as that
should prove useful, but it is an open
question whether a multiplication of
names does not superinduce endless con-
fusion. I am of the opinion that it does.
I see no reason why the ornithologist
should say rufous when he describes a
color identical with brown ocher, espe-
cially when he takes the trouble to say
"ochraceous buff.' Evidently he knows
what ocher is, and as ocher is an un-
changing standard pigment, the name
ought to bea standard onefor all classes
of people. There Is no excuse, tfierefore,
for such terms as rufous-brown, vina-
ceous, fuscous, and ashy. I do not care
to know what fuscous means so long as
the word brown, with all its plain Eng-
lish adjectives, exists. The Latin fusco
means to makedark, but there is no such
color in my paint box. The color chart
in Mr. Chapman's " Handbook of Birds "
Is consequently a thing to explain color
terms used by certain scientists who
have so meager a knowledge of colors
strongly influenced by a purplish tinge.
Orange greatly reduced produces salmon
yellower or redder according toadditions
of golden yellow on the one hand or
orange-scarlet on the other. Even scar-
let reduced produces a good salmon tint,
which one may justl.v call salmon-pink.
Among the reds I should call cardinal-
maroon a legitimate name, atbough red-
maroon is in no wise distinguishable
from it so far as a name can go. If the
deep rich red that ladles call cardinal Is
dulled by black, the resut is a dark red,
and maroon is a dark red. If the cardi-
nal color obtains the ascendency the
legitimate name would be cardinal-ma-
roon. Exactly the same rule applies to
red, however, and 1 prefer the name red-
maroon. So far as the generic term
" red" is concerned, I must confess that
as few people are acquainted with the
abstract name, it would certainly have
to be modified by some adjective, and the
nearest modification I can think of is
"deep cherry-red." Cherry-red I believe
to be a pure red, with neither blue nor
yellow in it; but the popular idea of the
color is moreorless connected with pink.
Pink is a color so remarkably varied

that they are unacquainted with their
names, and have to invent some to an-
swer their own needs. As for the color
names invented by the milliners and dry
goods manufacturers, the.y are legion
{as well as transitory) and consequently
do not deserve one moment's serious
consideration.
Commonplace names for colors, those
which are readily Identified by common
objects, must always possess a perma-
nent value. Ivory-white and cream-
white are both good common-sense
names; so is snow-white, or pure white;
China white has a certain cold, glazed
appearance which makes It a deserving
title for the Identification of a toneless
glassy white. Pure yellow andlemon-yel-
low are certainly synonymous terms;
but lemon-skins differ in tone according
to age, and only a fresh lemon or the
lemon-yellow of the paint box are accu-
rate standards. Sulphur-yellow is abso-
lutely pure, but dilute; the evening prim-
rose is but a trifle deeper. Straw-yellow
is altogetherdifterent; It can only be pro-
duced by diluting a gold-yellow. Corn-
color is a deeper tint produced by dilut-
ing golden orange. Huff is produced by
diluting ocher, and it varies In quality
accordingto the nature of the ocher; there
is yellow ocher, gold ocher, and brown
ocher. One may mix a hundred tints
ranging between buff and the so called
fawn and cnffau-lait, and give each one
a different name, but the basic color is
invariably ocher. Why not call it ocher'.'
Occasionali.v the color shows itself in
flowers such as the bronze nasturtium
and the Edward Otto; but the latter Is
and so common In the cultivated flower
that it requires a closeanalysls. Salmon-
pink I have already defined; pure pink,
pure red diluted, is amply demonstrated
b.v some of the magnificent recent carna-
tions; crimson pink Is pecullarl.v a rose-
pink, but roses are so very variable that
the term rose-pink is at best indetermin-
able. Magenta-pink, a tint bordering on
a lilac tone, is what many botanists call
rose-purple, a most objectionable term
because It is so meaningless; rose color
is indefinite, and purple is a deep hue un-
related to a tint. Evidently purplish
rose color Is what is meant, as a color
term coversthe ground better. Magenta-
pink Is a color strongly Inclined toward
lilac; indeed, It might as well be called a
pink-lilac. The term shell pink is possi-
bly sufficiently popular to stand; but
after all the pink liningof the conch-shell
Is nothing more nor less than a salmon-
pink, or scarlet greatly diluted with
white. Flesh pink is really the same
thing, still more reduced with white.
Maroon-pink is a dull tint not badly rep-
resented by the asthetic Louis Boehmer
chrysanthemum and flowers of nimiiar
tint. Lilac Is a dilute purple, but any ad-
dition of red to It resultsin a tint derived
from magenta; on the other hand, when
it is produced from violet It assumes a
bluish tone, anil if tinctured with ultra-
marine It no longer deserves the name
lilac, ntramarine and violet In various
stages of dilution produce abimt all the
flower colors whiili we call blue. .V blue
flower scarcely exi.'its, except in the genus
myosotls (forget-me-uot) and certain
approaches to blue In convolvulus and
gentiana. I think nearly all the so-called
blue flowers ought properly to be labeled
pale ultramarine or pale violet.
I think It isadvisable toadhere strictly
to a system of color names which will be
easily learned and remembered, and
abandon the principle of generalities. Gen-
erally speaking, asters and pansles— cer-
tain ones— are blue. But In my opinion
it would be more just to the term "blue"
to banish it altogether from both these
species. Scllla is blue — or blue enough to
be called so with a convenient adjective;
but we ought to draw the line some-
where. A jump, too, from one spectrum
color over another Is not consistent; for
instance, scarlet-crimson is a name that
is without meaning; red lies between
scarletand crimson, and therefore scarlet-
crimson Is red, and if red, as X have said,
Is about cherry color, then why not use
that term ?
In my next and final article on this
subject I will endeavor to give an extend-
ed list of Improper names of colors as I
find them in the Horists' catalogues, but
with their proper substitutes.
Carnation Show at Toronto.
Tour genial correspondent " T. M."
has given your readers a fnll report of the
carnation exhibition which was held in
the Pavilion, Toronto, March 7, and
which was a success In every way. The
crov.'d in the evening reminded me some-
what of the one at Baltimore; but our
Canadian friends next year will no doubt
pursue a different course to that adopted
this year, so as to make the exhibition
still more widely known. Scant notice
was given, and although the informa-
tion was imparted to the reporters in an
intelligent manner, a botch was made of
the matter b.v the press. Those hustlers
such as Manton.Tidy, Dunlop, Gammage,
want to see to this.
The supper, after the exhibition was
closed, had every appearance of an in-
formal banquet, perfect in detail, and
was graced b.v the presenceot the mayor,
with the whole-souled park superintend-
ent John Chambers at his right and
Win Lawrence as toastmaster. Every-
thing went off with great &lat. Talent
was In plenty and of a high order. The
song rendered by George Manton, entitled
"The Blue and the Gray," and which
brought down the house, deserves spe-
cial mention.
One of the happiest among those pres-
ent was Barnard H. iMyers, grower for
W. J. Palmer & Son, Buffalo, who cap-
tured the silver cup offered by a local
lady for the best vase of carnations.
The Marquis was perfect in every way
and carried all before it, although a vase
of White Cloud, exhibited by the same
firm, was the admiration of all who
saw it.
A grand vase of Mrs. Thomas W. Law-
son, from Peter Fisher, attracted much
attention, but the blooms were off color,
doubtless through travel. Queen Louise
arrived in good order and shared honors
with Governor Roosevelt. R. Witter-
8ta>tter omitted to consult with the
weather man, for his blooms arrived
when the thermometer was around zero,
packed lor mild weather. Many ship-
ments were snow bound, but.fortun.ately,
local growers staged an extensive ex-
hibit, so that the space was well fllled.
W.*Fendley, Brampton, staged suiierb
Princess of Wales violets and William
Scott carnation. J. Gammage & Sons,
of London, had Rosy Morn, Olympin,
Mrs. Bradt, G. H. Crane, Glacier and
Mary Wood. J. H. Dunlop excelled in
Mrs. Bradt, G. H.Crane, Melba. Morning
Glory, Glacier and The Mjinpiis. F.
Dicks, London, exhibited Rosy Morn aiui
Lady Van Home, that could not he

a miscellaneous display of carnatifuis,
roses and lilies, the latter the flnistthe

(100) Growing Roses a Second
Year. O. K.— It will not be profitable
to try and carry over the roses for
auotlier year. Plaut new stock by all
means.
(101) Forcing Bulbs a Second
Time. G. K.— It does not pay to savfe
bulbs that have been forced. They may
he planted in the garden and will do
fairly well, but they will not force two
years in succession.
(102) Edible Asparagus.— Do you
consider Barr's Mammoth asparagus as
good for market purposes as Conover's
Colossal?— R. D.
—We believe Conover's Colossal is the
better,but in planting a bed why not use
some of both kinds and sec which does
the best in your soil?
(103) Carnations in Boxes.— Will
carnations grow as well or better in
boxes, say 10 x 8 inches by 12 feet, one
row in a box, as they would on benches?
I wish to form the boxes as steps, one
above the other.— Subscriber.
—The carnations will do as well in the
boxes as if planted on a bench. Be sure
to provide good drainage by having
holes bored in the bottoms of the boxes.
(104) "Wood liice.— We mail you spec"
imens of a bug that is giving us much
trouble and would be pleased to hear,
through the columns of The Exchange,
what the insect is and how to get rid of
it. We have the pest in five small green-
houses, and it destroys cabbage plants
very rapidly. It will also eat carnation
blooms. The soil, etc., is similar to what
we have in five or six other houses, where
we have seen no insects. The houses
have wood benches, new; no rotten
wood about them. J. R. M & Son.
— The bugs sent are ordinary wood
lice, or sow bugs. Procure some of
Hammond's Slug Shot a.nduse it accord-
ing to directions printed on the packets.
(105) Worms in Potting Soil.—
Please let me know through your col-
umns how to drive worms from potting
soil. Are ashes from tobacco dust good ?
If so, how are they used ?— A Subscriber.
— Lime is the beet remedy for driving
worms from soil. Either mix the fresh-
slacked lime with the soil or water the
plants with lime water. To make the
latter, put a quantity of lime in a pall
or barrel (according to the quantity of
soil to be watered, and fill upwith water.
Wait until it settles clear, then pour off
the water and use it. The water will
only absorb a certain amount of the lime,
and there is no danger of getting the
lime water too strong.
(106) Eel Worms on Roses.— What
can I do to prevent eel worms attacking
my roses ? I am not situated to sterilize
my soil with steam. I have only one
rose house and have a fine lot of young
stock in pots. Last year I whitewashed
ray benches and gave the roses a good
heavy clay. December last the roses were
so affected with eel worms that I bad to
clean out the whole house of 1,200 strong
roses. This year I want to try my luck
again.— A Subscriber.
— The remedy for eel worms is not yet
known. Soil'infested with them should
either be allowed to freeze solid through
a Winter or be sterilized with steam.
Mixing lime with the soil tends to keep
them in check, but is not an absolute
cure. In preparing soil tor next year, try
some location other than that from
which the soil was last procured. Find
some old pasture land and take the top
four or five inches of soil; add a good
dressing of lime when mixing the soil and
manure together, and do not plant any
roses showing galls at the roots. By
taking these precautions the chances are
that you will experience little trouble
from eel worms.
(107) Flue Heating.-I contemplate
building a house 16 x 60 feet, and wish
to know whether a flue could be used to
assist in connection with hot water. My
idea would be to start the flue at the
boiler pit, running under the center bench
to the further end of the house, connect-
ing with the chimne.v. How much of a
rise should I give to insure good draft?
What obstacles would I meet should I try
the experiment? My only object in
the scheme would be to save the heat
that would otherwise go up the chimney.
— F. H.
— With a properly constructed hot-
water heater, of ample size so that the
Are will not have to be forced, there is
but little loss of heat, and the results
will be much more satisfactory than
when a flue is relied upon for a part of
the heat. At best, the draft in a flue is
none too good, and when a portion of
the heat has been taken up and used in a
hot-water circulation, it will prove very
troublesome. If a flue istobeempioyed.it
will be best to use a saddle boiler ma de by
Hitchings & Co. especially for combina-
tion flue and hot-water heating. The
flue should then enter the house and run
under one of the side benches for about
30 feet. It should then cross under the
walk and, turning on itself, ran back to
the heater along the inside of the other
walk, and enter the chimney, which
should be connected directly with the Are
Dox of the boiler. When starting the
flre, or when there is trouble with the
draft though the flue, the damper can be
so arranged as 'o give a direct connec-
tion with the chimney, and when the
Fall months when the minimum temper-
ature outside is 20 degrees with the aver-
age of our Winter months,! find that the
latter take fully 50 per cent, more fuel,
and considering the fact that the heavy
flring period is much longer where the
temperature drops to 20 below zero
than where it is only at 20 degrees above
zero, it seems safe to estimate that for
the season the fuel consumption will not
be more than one-half as much in the
latter placeas intheformer.orthatwhere
the temperature does not drop below 20
above zero, the cost of fuel to maintain
65 degrees above zero in 20,000 square
feet of glass will be from J375 to S425.
While the above statements may seem
somewhat theoretical, the data at hand
upon which the conclusions a re based are
sufficient to warrant them.— L. R. Taft.
(109) Greenhouse Building.— Please
tell me which of theaccompanying plans
is morerecommendablefor a generalforc-
ing and propagating plant, the houses
in either case to be 100 feet long and
heated by water. It would seem to me
that plan A would be somewhat cheaper
of construction, and I think in this plan
the building should run from east to
west, while in plan B I suppose north
y= /

chimney has become well warmed the
damper can be turned and the smoke and
gases of combustion will be drawn
through the flue. It will, of course, be
necessary to use a little extra pipe at the
further end of the house. In order to
secure a satisfactory draft, it will be well
to give the flue a rise of 1 foot in 30,
while more will be desirable. Aside from
the poor draft and unsatisfactory heat
secured, another serious objection to the
flue is the great danger of flre. — L. R.
Taft.
(108) Quantity of Coal.— Kindly in-
form me through your valuable paper
what amount of coal it would take for a
plant of 20,000 feet of glass, kept at an
average temperature of 65 degrees, where
the thermometeroutside descends as low
as 20 degrees above zero.- J. J. CuM-
MINGS.
— The experience of the writer has been
secured where the lowest temperature is
20 degrees below zero, rather than 20
degrees above that point, and when the
average temperature of the houses has
been nearer 55 than 65 degrees. Of
course, the cost of fuel will vary with the
efliciency of the heating system, the skill
of the fireman, the warmth of the houses
and various other conditions, but in a
general wa,y it can be said that where
tlie minimum temperature is 20 below
zero, but where the average night tem-
perature for three-fourths of the time is
20 degrees above zero, the cost of the fuel
to maintain 55 degrees in 20,000 square
feet of glass, using steam lump coal at
$2.50 per ton, will be from $550 to $600.
To maintain a temperatureof 65 degrees
under the same conditions would proba-
bly cost from $750 to $850. Comparing
the fuel consumption in the Spring and
and south would beas good as east and
west. Am I right? The small house
will be used principally for rooting cut-
tings of roses, shrubbery and evergreens,
while the forcing house we may wish to
use for cut-flower growth — carnations,
roses, or possibly a general line or mixed
assortment, and ma.v have to divide the
house to get a varied temperature. Can
you suggest any improvement in the lo-
cation of the pipes in either plan? — J. A.
Flemer, New Jerse.v.
— Plan "A" shows a three-quarter
span forcing house and a north-side
propagating house, while in plan "B"
both houses are even span. The arrange-
ment shown in plan " A" will certainly
be cheaper to construct and heat, and
especially for the rooting of shrubs and
evergreens; the north-side propagating
tiouse will be preferableto the even-span.
On the other hand, if the narrow house
were to be at any time used as a grow-
ing or forcing house plan " B " would be
more desirable. The propagating houses
are each 9 feet wide and show two
2-lnch flow pipes and four IVi-lnch returns
arranged under the benches. This should
afford the required temperature for the
plants named where the temperature
does not drop below zero. Theeven-span
forcing house has two 2-inch flows and
five I'^-inch returns, while in the three-
quarter span house there are ten IVi-inch
returns and one 3-incb flow pipe. Al-
though the radiation in the three-quarter
span house might answer for carnations
in New Jersey, it would not be sufficient
for roses, which would need two more
returns, even for 58 degrees. The piping
in the even-span house might do for vio-
lets, but it would be diflicult to keep the
temperature up to 40 degrees in zero
weather. All of the houses are 100 feet
long.and it would be better to use 2-ineh
pipe for the returns. It to be used for
roses the forcing houses should have
three 2%-inch flows and eight returns,
while two flows and seven returns will
be desirable for carnations.— L. R. Taft.
(110) Heating.— Kindly tell us how
much glass a 16-horse power upright
steam boiler will heat; boiler is in good
order, drafts good, with a good circu,
latlng fall. The houses are in good order,
on a hillside facing south and well pro-
tected. I am growing carnations. Also
kindly add if it will make much difference,
if any, if 2-inch pipe Is used in both flows
and returns.— John Stanley.
— A 16-horse power boiler should heat
4,000 square feet of glass to 50 degrees,
which will answer tor many varieties of
carnations. The capacity of the boiler
for hot-water heating will depend largely
upon the area of the grate. To find the
capacity of a boiler of this size, square
the diameter of the grate in inches, and
this will give the square feet of radiation
it will supply. Multiply this by 4 and
the product will be the area of glass in
a carnation house that it will heat in
eastern Pennsylvania. It is an excellent
plan to have both flows and returns of
2-inch plpe,but in a long housecare must
be taken not to supply too many returns
with a flow of this size. When 2-inch
pipe is used the combined radiating sur-
face of a flow and its returns should not
be more than 200 square feet.— L. E.
Taft.
Is a greenhouse 100x30feet,with4foot
wall8,boardedup tour feet in ends.balance
of ends glass, even-span house, a good
house for growing a general line of pot
plants, roses and carnations excluded? I
am to build a house this Spring, and the
figures above give the dimensions.
Can you tell me if the hot water boiler
manufactured by the Novelty Iron Com-
pany of Canton, Ohio, is a good boiler
ornot? Also whatsize boiler do I require
to keep the above house at 50 degrees at
zero weather. The walls of the house
will be double boarded, with paper be-
tween; glass butted in roof; size of glass
16 by 16 inches. What size pipe would
you advise me to use and number of feet
linear measure?— H. E. Smith.
— An even-span house answers well for
growing any kind of plants, including
roses and carnations. If to be used for
low plants the' width might be slightly
decreased to advantage, but it a general
assortment is to be grown the width is
not too great, as the tall plants can be
placed in the center of the house.
The writer is not familiar with the
boilers referred to. The boiler should
have about six feet of grate surface and
a rating of 1.350 feet, or one-third more
than the radiation required. Two-inch
pipe should be used for the coils and
either flve or six 2-inch or three or four
2iAinch flows will be needed. If all of
the pipe is 2-inch. 16 runs will be re-
quired, while with tour 2y2-inch flow
pipes, 11 2-inch returns will suffice. —
L. R. Taft.
I have a 50-horse power tubular boiler
which is now heating about 5,000 feet of
glass, 4-inch pipe, open system. I wish
to build this season a rose house 26 x 80
feet on a piece of ground across a 16-foot
alle.v, just opposite my boiler house. I
wish to heat this new house from m.v
present boiler and pipe with wrought
iron pipe. Can I plpetheflowand return
under the alley, then rise to the proper
height with my flows, place returns
under the benches, and make an expan-
sion tank of m.v windmill tank, the bot-
tom of which Is six feet above theground?
How many flows and returns and what
sizes will it require to heat the house to
60 degrees in zero weather? The walls
on sides to be 6 feet high and both
gables to he of glass, as well as half of
south walls. — B.
— There should be no trouble in running
the pipes as proposed, but it will be nec-
essary to have vents for the air at the
highest point of the piping in the house.
The main flow and return pipes should
be 4-ineh, and should be covered with
asbestos and run underground through
sewer pipe. To heat the house to 60 de-
grees in zero weather it will be well to
use three 2% Inch flow pipes, which may
be carried overhead on the posts that
support the roof, and 15 2-inch returns.
The pipe leading to the expansion can be
conected at the most convenient point.
It will, of course, be necessary to close
an.v openings in the pipe in the old houses
that are lower than the level of the
water in the tank.— L. R. Taft.

tliree feet of glass in the south wall, the
north wall being the side of a barn. At
one end ot the tirst house is a potting
shed in which tl^e boiler will be placed,
and between this and the lean-to there is
a short porch. The temperature desired
lb 60 degrees when itls 20 degrees below
zero outside. The boiler cannot be sunk
more than two feet, owing to water.— J.
T., Jr.
— In order to secure a free circulation it
will be desirable to use 2-inch overhead
flow pipes. Of these two will be needed
in house No. 1 and one pipe in the lean-
to. In addition to the Uow pipes six re
turns will be required on each side of the
even-span house, and they should extend
several feet along the end farthest from
the boiler. In the lean-to the flow
should be carried overhead to the farther
end, and there connect with a coil of
eight 2-mch pipe which should run along
the end and south side of the house to
the end nearest the boiler, where they
should be connected with the boiler with
a 2-luch return pipe. — L. R. Taft.
Exhibition of Pennsylvania
Horticultural Society.
The Spring exhibition of the Pennsyl-
vania Horticultural Society was held
March 19 to 22 at Horticultural Hall,
Philadelphia, and was a very successful
one as far as exhibits were concerned.
The quality >if all the stock shown was
very good; in fact, the bulbous plants
were the beet seen In some time. In the
center of the main hall was a group of
plants, foliage and flowering, from Fran-
cis Canning, gardener to Mr. .Samuel T.
Bodine, which was nicely arranged, and
took first prize. Near this was a table
of orchids very tastefully arranged by
Alphonse Perleat, gardener to Mrs.
George B.Wilson. Ai the other end of the
hall was a group ot plants, for exhibition
only, by John McCleary, gardener to Mr.
Wm. Weightman. On the floor of the
hall were also some fine specimen plants
of Cineraria Stella ta, from Thos. Holland,
gardener to Mr. Lincoln Godfrey; these
obtained a certiflcate for culture. Near
these were a specimen croton and a spec-
imen Boston fern, from James Hurley,
gardener to Mr. James M. Rhodes. At
each end of the hall were low tables of
cinerarias. There was a grand display
of these, some of the principal exhibitors
being Joseph McGregor, Darby, Pa., who
took the Landreth prize; George Robert-
eon, gardener to Mr. C. B. Newbold;
George Graham, gardener to Mr. Chas.
Hartshorne; and Wm. Klelnheinz, gar-
dener to Mr. P. A. B. Widener.
The Landreth prize for Primula obcou-
Ica grandiflora brought out a lot of en-
tries. John Thatcher, gardener to Mr.
E. Le Boutelier, took first. John Hob-
son, gardener to Mr. E. A. Schmidt, was
the winner torsix azaleas. John McCleary
took first for two azaleas and Wm.
Klelnheinz first for specimen azaleas.
The strongest competition occurred in
the hyacinth classes. For the Waterer
prize Joseph Hurley, gardener to Mr.
James M. Rhodes, was first; Wm. Kleln-
heinz, second. For the Landreth prize
Francis Canning took first, and lor the
Michell prize Joseph Hurley was flr?t.
Some ot the best varieties shown were
Czar Peter, Lord Derby, King ot the
Blues, La Grandesse, Charles Dickens and
Gigantea.
The display ot tulips In pans was very
good. Joseph McGregor took the Waterer
prize. The most showy varieties were
Tournesol, yellow, Murillo, Kaisers-
kroon. Cottage Maid and Yellow Prince.
There were six entries each of cyclamen
and primulas, but the flowers were past
their best. The Dreer prize for Illy of the
valley brought out strong competition.
Robert Forrest, gardener to Mr. B. Borie,
took first; John Dodds, gardener to Mr.
H. S. Hopper, second.
Competition for flowering begonias
was also very keen. John Thatcher was
first tor three plants, also for specimen
plant.
The new(iolden Pandanus Sanderil ex-
hibited by Henry A. Hreer was awarded
the silver meilal of the society.
A dwarf seedling asparagus exhibited
by Wm. Thatcher, gardener to Mrs. J.
Gardner, Boston, Mass., was awarded
the certiflcate ot the society. The new
rose White Golden Gate ( Ivory ), from the
American Rose Co., Washington, D. C,
took the prize — a silver medal for best
12 blooms ot a new rose.

will be added to the Rocky River place
so soon as the weather permits.
H. A. Hart takes the lead in Easter
stock with pot roses, which were never
finer. Crimson Rambler, Baroness Roths-
child, Magna Charta, Prairie Queen and
Baltimore Belle are the principal sorts.
Another season heexpects to have carna-
tions Mrs. Thomas Lawson and The Mar-
quis in sufScient numbers to sell as pot
plants; the demand cannot be supplied.
Adam Graham says he has not had a
flower go to waste. Ethel Crocker does
not please him; it blooms freely, but does
not open out as it should do. Peru is
very satisfactory. A house of Jubilee is
in first class shape, but G. H. Crane eclip-
ses It in the store of Smith & Fetters.
Montreal.
Joseph Bennett has a fine batch ot
Crimson Rambler roses tor Easter. The
cuttings were made last March, planted
out in Summer, lilted in October and
are having no sun at all to help the back-
ward stock. Present trade still contin-
ues very small.
Violets,
That locality was not the cause ot
Logan Glrdwood'e success with violets
is amply exemplified by his success this
year at Kensington. Despite the draw-
backs usually met with the flrst year in
a new location, Mr. Girdwood expresses
himself as perfectly satisfied with the re-
sults obtained. The health of the plants
has been excellent, and after they recov-
ered from the series ot early checks
caused by detective heating, the crop has
been continuous and abundant. At pres-
6Bt the supply is enormous. With this
season's defects remedied Mr. Oirdwood
will have little trouble in holding his
position as the local violet specialist.

Gus. A. Taepke has a house ot h. p.
roses in pots for Easter that will bring
in a little fortune, as he is the only one in
town who has such a bonanza. He hits
it every year just so, and says it is so
easy when one knows how, and that's
the secret. We may look for it in The
E.vciiANGE after the Easter rush Is over.
Saginaw, Mich. — Chas. French & .Son
have had a peculiar experience with Har-
risii lilies this season, the ."> and T size
bulbs throwing more blooms to a plant
than the larger sizes. This, I believe, is
the case with many growers, which
means that the smallet-sized bulbs are
healthier, and will be grown in preference
to the larger ones, as when a bulb cost-
ing $20 and more per 100 throws only
one or two blooms, there is not much
money in them. Do your renders think
there is'.' There is a big demand for the
churchyard brand, anc the predictions
are there will not be enough stock to go
around. If instead of reducing the price,
as the dealers are doing this season they
would insist upon the growers delivering
an article guaranteed in every sense of
the word to be pure (if that be possible),
I am sure those who have to undergo the
deep disappointment ot carrying the
trash now on the market would gladly
pay a higher price for a decent article.
Graham Bros, are cutting some fine G.
H. Crane and The Marquis.
Cleveland, O. — The J. M. Gasser Co.
are cutting American Beauty that sur-
pass anything ever seen here. I found
Isaac Kennedy disbudding a house ot 12-
heeled in in a cold shed to rest, potted up in
January in 5-inch pots. Now (February
l-l) the plants are in full growth, with
promise of being in bloom just at the
right time. The argument has been ad-
vanced that one-year-old cuttings will
not make salable plants within the year,
but here one can see the theory exploded
by Mr. Bennett's successful strike.
B. T. Graves has the finest carnations
in the vicinity. Jubilee, Morning Glory
and Glaclerare each the bestot their class
— grand stock. Glacier is the favorite
white in Canada to-day.
Easter Outlook.
The Easter situation Is as follows:
The supply of lilies will be, at the out-
side, 75 per cent, of the acreage; spiriins,
75 per cent.; hydrangeas, 50 per cent.;
Rambler rosea, 75 per cent.; hybrids,
about the average; azaleas, the avernge
or a trifle over; lily of the valley, an aver-
age; cytisua. In very small supply, with
theusualsprlnkllngot mixed stock. Bulb
ous material, both cut and as pot
plants, will be plentiful.
In cut flowers there is said to be n loial
shortage In carnations; this is also said
to apply to the Canadian west. l^pBe^
win be" plentiful and of extra quality;
violets will be abundant; mignonette «
fair average.
The weather is still wretched; the cold
has at last moderated, but every w I ere
the snow Is still iiulte thick, and theie Is
no possibility of this getting rleiired
away before I';a8ter,coiiRequenlIy Easter
delivery will be a dilHcult matter. We
a 7-foot broken column, with a shield
lying against it, sent by the Indianapolis
Columbia Club (Republican club). The
lyre and trumpets were sent by the ('hl-
nese Masonic lodge. The large handle
basket of azalea plants and lilies came
from the State officers; a blue star, with
letters " 70th lud. Reg.," was sent by the
general's old regiment. W. It.

Trade News.
A good lot of funeral work helped
things along the past week and caused
a lively demand tor flowers. The supply
is good, stock being rather too plentiful
in bulbous flowers, but a little weak in
Jilies. Prices hold up well and will likely
remain so until after Easter.
Prospects for Easter stock are bright;
with favorable weather there will be
plenty of everything, excepting lilies,
which will likely be a little short. It
looks as if the demand tor flowering
plants will be better than ever before,
and the supply promises well.
There were lots of life in the seed trade
the past week; the warm weather affected
it and kept everybody busy.
Ernst Fisher was quite painfully hurt
a few days ago, his team of horses run-
ning off and dragging him along for some
distance.
J. Bader, accompanied by E. Koerbei.of
Jeanetre, Pa., spent a few days in Phila-
delphia and New York, looking up things
for Easter. E. C. Eeineman.
St. Louis.
BusiaesB Extra Good.
Trade among the wholesale men
has been extra good, generally speaking;
tor the past week they have had good
cleau sales, with a decided shortage of
carnations, that still bring from 2c. up
to 'ic. for choice Mrs. Thomas W. Law-
son — a splendid price for this season of
the year. Roses are a trifle plentiful just
now; 8c. is top price, down to 4c. and
(jc. for common and poor stock. Lilies
sell at 12'/2C. to 15c., with a fair supply
only. Tulips are rather short in crop,
selling somewhat better than they have
been doing at 3c.
An active Easter trade is anticipated,
and all are making efforts to get stock
just right. Prospects for lilies have im-
proved, and more of this stock will be on
the market thau was expected a few
weeks back; 15c. to 18c. is the probable
wholesale price here. Other stock, such
as hyacinths, spira'as, etc., will be in fair
to good supply. C. C. S.
Omaha, Neb.
Our florists havenocomplalnt to make
as to quiet trade during the Lenten sea-
son. All along from its beginning stock
has been kei)t moving right merrily and
at times quite a scarcity has been felt.
Prospects are very brightfor an excellent
Easter business. A good many lilies
won't be in, but we will have many more
than last year.
Prices wholesale at present are roses,
ti to $6 per 100; carnations, $2 to $4
per 100: hyacinths, $2 to f 3 per 100;
jonquils, $3 to $4 per 100. Violets are
getting poor and bring 50c. to 75c. per
100; American Beauty, from 24inch up,
fetch $2.50 to $4 per dozen.

Bad AVeather Affects BusiuesB.
We have had several days of rain
and fog this week which have had a very
depressing effect on the cut-flower busi-
ness. The continued sunless weather is
very detrimental to flowers in general,
but more particularly are roses showiug
a soft condition. It is thought, also, that
mauy lilies will be so retarded as to
make them late for Easter, owing to the
cloudy weather; and it is understood
that some of the largest growers have
already begun to refuse orders for lilies in
pots. Frompresentappearaneesit looks
as though pot lilies will advance in price
before Kaster arrives, but there will be
an adequate supply of cut blooms at
10c. and 12c. per tlower. Roses of the
shorter grades are plentiful enough, but
not much special stock is coming in. The
demands, however, are not heavy, and
prices have declined slightly. Top-grade
American Beauty can be had at from $2
to $3 per dozen, and for the same grade
of Bride and Bridesmaid f 10 per 100 is
the asking figure. General Jacqueminot
roses are coming in, and have had the
effect of spoiling the sales of other red
roses. The best of the Jacqueminots
have broughtfromf 1.50 tof2 perdozen.
Carnations have not been so abundant,
and prices have remained about station-
ary; the lower grades, possibly, have
fetched a little more than they did last
week.
Bulbous flowers, especially yellow, find
slow sale, but fortunately they are not
coming in in such huge quantities as
formerly.
The violet supply is not so heavy as it
was last week, but the three days' rain
stopped the peddlers from working, and
the flowers accumulated heavily in the
hands of the dealers. On Thursday morn-
lug it was possible to clear out fresh Tio-
lets at the quoted prices, but the left-
over stock would only moveata sacrifice.
Double yellow nasturtiums are in the
market at $1 per 100; also cowslips,
both cut flowers and potted plant". The
latter are taking well as an Easter plant
this year.
Among the Retailers.
Charles Dards will move about
May 1 from his long-established premises
at 44th Street and Madison Avenue to
Fifth Avenue, between 44th and 45th
Streets.
The retailers' windows have been un-
usually gay this week with Spring flower-
ing plants, spini'as, hydrangeas, cinera-
rias, azaleas, pans of hyacinths, and lilac
forming the chief features.
Jottings.
Chas. B. Weathered is back from an
extended business trip through the South
and Middle West.
Wm. Turner, Tarrytown, N. Y., has
accepted a position with Mr. M. D. Bor-
den, Oceanic, N. J. An extensive range
of greenhouses will be erected the coming
Summer by the Lord & Burnham Co.;
26 houses will be put-up altogether; one
for fruit alone will have dimensions 20 x
254 feet. Urchids and general stock will
also be grown. The show house will be
high dome-shaped and 75 x 40 feet in
area.
In addition to the awards as published
last week, Thomas P. Higgins, gardener
to the Misses Eldridge, was awarded a
special premium for sprays of Bougain-
villea spectabilis. The awards given for
plants of Crimson Rambler rose were
withdrawn, owing to the exhibits not
conforming to the schedule, too large
pots having been used. In giving special
awards for meritorious exhibits the
judges overlooked half a dozen 8 or 10
inch pots of well-grown plants of Adian-
tum Farleyense. Anything of merit de-
serves recognition, and these ferns were
certainly very well done.

The rose show was continued one day
longer than the schedule called for, and
the exhibits of cut roses were put into
the Italian garden. This proved to be
just what the garden needed. The dis-
play of roses so completely outshone the
pleached hedge that the latter was
hardly noticed, the roses themselves being
the center attraction.
J. P. Cleary kindly gave his services to
the American Rose Society, and sold at
auction the plantsand cutflowers on the
two last nights of the rose show.
Ernst G. Asmus is in Florida taking a
holiday.
Wm. Ghormley, wholesale florist, has
taken the store at 11 West 2.«th Street,
to be used as an annex for Easter plants.
THE
ORIGINAL
Garland Valley Gutter and Drip Conductor
The Gutter is the Foundation of the House.
No bolt holes or other undesirable
connections to hold moisture
and rot off bars.
Sash bars do not have to be mutilated
and made to carry the gutters,
but vice versa.
IT has stood a ten-year test, and I can warrant that it will last fifty years longer. Will outlast one dozen
galvanized or steel gutters, as steel is the poorest material for greenhouse use. No breakage of
glass by frost or ice. Only seven inches of shade in December. :No drips from condensation when
proper humidity is maintained within. No wires to hold bars to gutter; wires are -for supporting ridge
pole without using ridge pole posts.
Simplest and easiest to erect; never sags or gets out of line. Made in my own foundry, of No. 1
Lake Superior Cast Iron. - Do not make a mistake by putting in untested devices, but get into the Band
Wagon with the successful growers who have tested the Garland Iron Gutter and Drip Conductor.

J. B. Towell, florist of Inwood-on-the-
Hudson, has been missing from bis home
since February 13. He left home on that
day to make some collections. He had
quite a sum of money in his pocket also.
Uis whereabouts IS a mystery.
Auction Sales.
Eoses, rhododendrons, evergreen
trees and Spring bulbs have been the
principal objects offered at the salesrooms
this week. Easter flowering plants will
be a large feature during the coming
week.
Visitors.
Mr. and Mrs. Richard Salter, of
Rochester, N. Y., were in the city this
week; also Mr. Buchanan, of Blowiug
Rock, N. C; A. Lindstrom, Stamford,
Conn.; Mr. Menand, Troy, N. Y.; and
Mrs. Grant-Wilson, of Cleveland, O.
Philadelphia.
The stores are now busy preparing for
Easter. Not much business has been
going on the past week. From what is
now heard there are a great many poor
lilies around, also many that will not be
ready.
Samuel S. Pennock has his place elabo-
rati ly decorated with plantsand ribbons.
The iiaster opening took place Wednes-
day evening and will continue three
days. In addition to his large cut-flower
trade, he is selling flowering plants from
several of the best growers.
Alfred D. Uoag has closed up his retail
store on Chestnut Stfeet, near 17th
Street, and has accepted a position with
the Century Flower Store, on South 12th
Street, below Chestnut Street.
W. A. Leonard, foreman for Robert
Scott & Son, has rented the greenhouses
at the Model Farm, on Penrose Ferry
Road, and will take possession after
Easter.
Wm. Monroe, foreman for T. E. Bar-
tram Lansdowne, has resigned his posi-
tion and has accepted a similar position
with Robert Scott & Son, Sharon Hill.
The growers of Easter stock are expe-
riencing considerable difliculty on ac-
count of the dirty water. That supplied
through the city mains has been muddy
now for three weeks, and there is no
sign of any improvement. David Rcst.
Astoria, N. Y.
Through the burning out of a coil
boiler on March 8, R. Pritehard lost 200
plants ready for Easter. The boiler has
lasted four years, during which time it
required considerable repairs. Mr. Priteh-
ard has decided to discontinue the use of
coil boilers, of which he had two, believ-
ing they are " no good."

A. H. Wagland, florist, has been ap-
pointed chief gardener at the Bellevue

Trade Notes.
Business is very quiet and the
marlcec pretty well stocked, except in
carnations. In roses American Beauty
are moving more slowly since Ulrlcli
Brunner became plentiiul. The latter are
doing weliatfrom ^fl.50to ?3 per dozen.
American Beauty prices hold at about
the same Ugures as last quoted. Bride
and Bridesmaid are in very good supply,
but move rather slowly; extra grade is
held at !$10 per 100, but much very good
Stock is sold at $8. Liberty are coming
In last, but only a small proportion aie
good, the majority being very short-
stemmed, selling at $2 to $4 per 100.
The large flowers make ?8 to $12.50.
Souvenir du President Caruot is received
In limited quantity, bringing $4 to $6
per 100.
Carnations continue scarce and prices
hold up very well. Extra stock brings
#3 per 100, fancies $3.50 and Ji, while
the smaller grades realise $1 .50 to $2.50.
The supply of bulb flowers continues
pieniiful. Von Sion narcissus and Trum-
pets make $1.50 per 100. Princeps
brings $2, and Uorsfleidii, Empress and
Oolden Spur $3.50 and $4. Tulips, too,
^re in very good supply. The best single
varieties make $2.50 per 100, smaller
grades go at $2, while the double ones,
which meet with a very good demand,
letch $3.50 and $4. Dutch hyacinths are
pleotlfui and move fairly well at $2 to $3
per 100. Lily of the valley is seldom
cleaned up, averaging $2 to $3 per 100,
a limited supply ol extra iargestock real-
izing $4. Lilies are very plentiful and
do not sell very fast, $8 per 100 being
the ruling price on many of them. Callas,
too, are very abundant at $5 to $8 per
100. Mignonette is in good supply at
$1 to $1.50 per 100, a limited quantity
of extra large stock going at $2.
Violets continue plentiful at same
prices as last quoted.
Here and There.
William W. Edgar, of Waverly, en-
tertained a party of Boston florists on
Tuesday. The object of the visit was to
Inspect his Easter stock, which is excep-
tionally fine this season, the lilies, aza-
leas, rnododendrons, genistas, acacias,
etc., being of a very high standard. After
the Inspection the party adjourned to M r.
Edgar's home, where they were enter-
t.iined by their host and Mrs. Edgar.
The famous "pansy punch "was liberally
dispensed.
Chas. Evans, of Watertown, has a fine
lotot hydrangea plants and Marguerites,
both yellow and white, which will be in
good shape next week.
The Waban Kose Conservatories are

roses.
Spring Show of Mass. Hort. Soc.
Owing to non-compUance with the
rule requiring exhibitors of cut flowersto
keep their displaysin a fresh and attract-
ive conditiou during thefour days of the
show, several changes were made in the
awards on Thursday. In the class for
100 mixed carnations F. A. Blake lost
his second prize, which was awarded to
Peter Fisher, who arranged a fine vase.
In the other classes for vases of 25 carna-
tions. In which Mr. Blake had been very
successful In the first awards, the prizes
• were all taken away from him. Mr.
Blake's previous awards had been two
firsts and three seconds. On Thursday
the committee awarded a silver medal
to the new rose Gold of Ophir, from Mrs.
Anson Phelps Stokes, of Lenox, Mass.
In my last week's report I omitted to
mention Mrs. Fred Ames' magnificent
collection of orchids, in great variety, in-
cluding several choice ones, which display
won ihe silver gilt medal.
Among those from out of town were
Messrs. Paiterson, Portsmouth, N. H.;
P. Donahue and Carl Lundberg, Lenox,
Mass.; Geo. Mc Williams, Whitinsville,and
Edwin Lonsdale, Philadelphia, Pa.
Among others who attended the rose
show at New York last week not in-
cluded in my list were F. R. Mathlson,
Thos. Koland and John Pritchard.
The Horticultural Club held its regular
moatbJy meeting at Quiney House,
Thursday evening, M. H. Norton presid-
ing.
Buffalo.
Trade Notea.
Some fair-weather days and
others extremely sloppy and muddy are
In order now. Enough dark weather ex-
ists to keep the local grown supplies of
flowers rather below the normal quan-
tity, usually inclined to surplus at this
time of year.
The supply of blooms for Easter looks
favorable, though not unusually large.
Some growing places about town, for
some reason, will have lighter plant
stocks than common. It is presaged
that Easter lilies in both plants and
blooms will be at a comparative premi-
um, and in stock short for the demand.
Business at present is hardly fair.
Store decorations for Spring optnlng dis-
plays have recently helped a bit.
The News,
S. A. Anderson visited his uncle, A.
N. Pierson,of Cromwell, Conn., last week.
He returned to the metropolis on Friday,
a bit late for the rose show. W. J.
Palmer, Jr., who attended that function,
speaks well o( the features of the entire
affair.
The news went out unexpectedly on
Tuesday morning of the sudden death of
Charles H. Porter, a young man identi-
fled with the craft here and who merited
much respect. The fatal ailment, of less
than six days' standing, was scarlet
fever of an unusually malignant type.
Deceased had conducted a florist business
of his own some time ago, and recently
being in the employof S. A. Anderson.
Club Matters.
Pursuant to notice two days dis-
tant from the Intended programme, the
annual meeting and election of oflJcers
tor the current year was held on the 21st
Inst, at W. F. Kastlug's oflice, the fol-
lowing named gentlemen receiving the
honors: President, W. F. Kastlng, re-
elected; vice-president, James Braik; sec-
retary, Wm. Legg; treasurer, Charles H.
Keitsch; flnaucial secretary, E. Broaker,
all reelected. William Scott, J. F. Cowell
and Daniel B. Long were elected on the
board of directors, who serve with the
flrst-named above regular officers, thus
constituting a board of seven.
As ample later excitement during this
year Is anticipated.the customary annual
banquet at election was passed by.
The important convention committee,
that of Ways and Means, is scheduled
for a meeting early this week. Club meet-
ings are postponed till after Easter.
Palmer & Son, regularly noted for fine
window displays, are preparing a pre-
Easter affair for Thursday of this week,
and which we understand is to be largely
Pan-American in character.
H. B. Cash, of Uochester, who an-
nounces his engaging in the retail busi-
ness at 172 State Street, in that city,
was in town last week making some
purchases.
C. S. Ford, Jr., of Philadelphia, was a
recent caller. Vini.
Baltimore.
The Easter Outlook.
All looks bright for Easter. There
seems to be just enough of one thing and
just a little less of others, with hardly
any surplus of anything. Owing to the
high price of Dutch stock last year, many
of the growers' importations were cut
down, although hyacinths will be plen-
tiful, because they were offered below cost
In the latter part of the I'all by jobbers
who had overstocked themselves.
Lilies are scarce; carnations are in the
same category, with little difference as
regards roses. Prices will rule high com-
pared with those of other years.
Azaleas have come blind with some ol
the growers, which is quite a loss to
them.
The News.
The club's smoker of Monday last
was, as usual, a great success.
Theo. Eckardt has taken a position at
the State Lunacy Asylum as superintend-
ent of. the landscape work which is
being done there.
Holland's representatives are coming
around with their sweet tales of bulbous
stock. Prices are much lower than last

state of Trade and Weather Conditions.
But little 8un the past week (one
good day), blustering enow storme,
rains, fogs, etc., are scarcely conditions
conducive to best results in the way of
Easter flowers. However, Winter now
seems to have departed, and the grass is
trying to push out. Buds ot all kinds
are very dormant, and the fact of having
had no extreme cold weather during Win-
ter presages an abundance of flowers on
outdoor roses, shrubs and herbaceous
plants beyond usual. The stock coming
Into this market is generally of good
quality, and considering the weather
gets fairly cleared off at about prices
usual at this season of the year. The
expected tremendous glut of carnations,
owing to increased planting, has failed
so far to materialize, and the question is
often heard, Where do the flowers all go
to? The answer is. This is a big city In
itself, with a splendid shipping trade in
all directions. Even bulbous stock usu-
all.v clears at some price, although not
always at very remunerative rates.
The lily question is the one to the fore
just now; certaiul.v there are fewer lilies
in sight for Easter than last year, and
anything like good flowers will coni-
mand at wholesale from $12 to $15
per 100, with extra fine stock possibly
going as high as $2 per dozen.
The Easter price lists will show
somewhat as follows: Some very fancy
stock may go above the figures quoted,
and old stock or that of poor quality be-
low. American Beautv, extra long stem,
*5 to $6; 24-inch, $:H. 50 to fl; 15 to
20 inch, $2 to $3; shorts,$l to 81.50 per
dozen; Bride, Bridesmaid and Meteor,$4
to $8 per 100; Perle. $4 to $G; carna-
tions, fancy, $4 to 85; standards, $2 to
$3; calias, $1.50 to $2: Eoman hya-
cinths and Paper White narcissus, $2 to
$3; daffodiIs,$2 to $3; tulips,$3 to $5;
smllax,$1.50 to $2.50; lily of the valley,
J3 to $4; Marguerites, $1, and violets,
75c. to $1.
Florists' suppliesof all kinds have been
In brisk demand both for home and ship-
ping trade which is a good indication of
a satisfactory Easter business.

Market Notes.
ConsiderinK the (act that we are
passing through the Lenten season busi-
ness is very good indeed, and with the
exception of a small portion of bulbous
stock everything sells. The outlook tor
Easter is very encouraging; plenty of
advance orders are coming In, and from
present indications there will not be
enough roses and carnations to go
round. We shall have plenty of tulips.
Paper White and Von >Sion narcissus.
Dutch hyacinths, lily ot the valley and
Llllurn Ilarrlsli will be more in evidence
than we had expected.
Carnation Mrs. E. A. Nelson.
During the past week It was my pleas-
ure to see the new yiink carnation Mrs. E.
A. Nelson, as It is grown by the raiser, E.
A. Nelson, at Indianapolis. He has one
house, about 100 feet long, planted to
this variet.v. It Is a magtiiflcent grower,
with long stiff stemsllke those of Its par-
ent, Arinazindy: and the buds are just
as thickly produced as they are by Wm
Scott, the other pareut. I am told ."500
blooms a week have been cut all Winter
long, and judging from the flowers on
the plants the day I was there, I do not
think the number is overestimated. It is
certainly a fine commercial sort, and will
readily pass for a fancy If you wish to
put it lu that class.
A call at the Bertermann Floral Co.'s
place found them bus.v as usual.
St. Patrick's Day made quite a run of
business here In Cincinnati. Some of the
stores were very nicely decorated. Fred
(lear'B window was ver.y attractive.
This window is 4 by 7 feet and was all
trimmed In green and lighted with green
electric lights. On Frlda.v he had a "red
window," lighted b.v red electric lights
and filleil with red carnations, red roses,
red tulips, red rlbbi'ns and other red dec-
orative material. His Idea of changing his
window In separate colors Is certainly a
good one and proves a flue advertise-
ment.
B. P. Critchell, park superintendent. Is
very low with pneumonia. Latest re-
ports state he Is resting easier, and the
doctors now have hopes of his recovf ry.

the opening of the trenches will show
whether there Is hope for a crop, great
or small, or total failure. And we are
compelled to sa.v that the loss from rot
is greater than in many years past. So
far as we are able to judge, fully one-halt
Is lost. Certainly this Is the case with
trenches already opened, which Is not
only a great disappointment, but a seri-
ous loss to the farmers, who can poorly
afford it. But for the fact that all other
crops rarely afford a profit, it would be
difHcult to place contracts for a 1902
crop.
The disappointment Is greater because
of the fact that the stocks were put
away in better condition than for many
years previous, and there was, conse-
quentl.v, but little anxiety about the
keeping. The strangest feature Is that
some of the stocks have escaped Injury,
not a plant being lost, while of others
in close proximity not one Is saved. As
a rule the greatest loss Is where the
greatest care w"b given to protect
against cold, which shows conclusively
that the opinion held by many Is correct,
viz., that It is not cold, but heat, that
causes rot, as in cases where the plants
had no protection, as for Instance the
surplus plants left undisturbed In the
seed beds escaped Injur.v and are now
making a fine start, while those In the
trenches and covered deeply have suf-
fered the most. Again, those grown on
very fine, sandy soil, with good drain-
age, have suffered but little.
It Is not difficult. In view of these facts,
to understand the cause of failure, which
we think wholly due to the very warm
weather In December that caused the

plants to grow in thetrenches where the
temperature was considerably above the
freezing point, and with no circulation of
air, which made the plants very soft and
succulent. Then when the excessive cold
of February came, the stems were frozen
so hard the cells were all destroyed and
rot was the Inevitable consequence. Bet-
ter by far It would have been had the
plants not been covered at all than as
they were, but better still had the heads
remained uncovered until the first of
February, which they would have been
had we known what the weather would
be.
This opinion is fully confirmed by the
way turnips have kept. The writer saw
a field of two acres of rutabagas un-
covered but a few days ago, and not one
of them was Injured by the cold, and all
the protection the roots had was a light
furrow turned over them, barely cover-
ing the tops, in the early part of Decem-
ber, and never were roots taken out in
better tondltlon. Theleaveshavealready
made considerable growth, and It all con-
ditions are tavorablefrom this time until
the harvest, the yield will be enormous.
There is an Important lesson to be
gained from this, viz., that the way to
keep these roots for the Spring market
is simply to turn a light furrow over
them, without cutting the tops, or In
any other wa.y disturbing them. As usu-
ally put away In pits, they do not come
out nearly as solid or fresh; on the con-
trary, the roots In pits have a moldy
appearance, while those left growing In
the rows are as fresh In April as In the
November previous.
Kale, which was so badly browned by
the cold in November as to all appear-
ances to be dead. Is already making a
vigorous growth, and although back-
ward, owing to the drought of last Au-
tumn, bids fair to give an abundant har-
vest. Kale is not a particle more hardy
than cabbage, and had these crops been
covered with earth, we have not the
slightest doubt but they would have been
completely killed.
Owing to the short crops of seed of all
the brassicas the past two years, the
present outlook must first fill the seeds-
men with grave apprehension, as but
few. If any, of our seedsmen will hold
over but a small proportion of what they
win require another season. The com-
mission trade, that use almost wholly
European grown seed, will be the greater
sufferers, as from all the reports that are
published there will be a greater short-
age In Europe than In this country. Most
of the trade are poorly prepared for this
condition of affairs, as owing to the
seemingly great surplus of three years
ago they did not see the necessity oif car-
rying over a year's supply, as the provi-
dent seedsman always does, and they
will be at the mercy of the few who have
profited by past experience and have
still a year's crop on band.
Another week will enable us to state
more definitely and accurately just what
the situation Is.

A. Veteran Seedsman— Fifty-three
Years in one House.— George Urqu-
hart, 68 years old, entered the employ
of Plant & Bro., seedsmen, St. Louis,
in 1847, at the age of 14. He remained
continuously with that widely known
concern until November ot last year
as employee, partner and stock-holder.
The firm was Incorporated in 1872,
with the peculiarly appropriate, yet
correct name of the "Plant Seed Co.,"
anp Mr. Urquhart became director and
vice-president and, I think, manager.
He is the picture of health to-day and
as active as ever, looking forward to
many years o activity and usefulness.
He Is now with the young and enter-
prising firm, the Schlsler-Cornell Seed
Co., which recentl.v moved Into its new
five-story store, 813 and 815 North
Fourth S reet, St. Louis, the old store
having been burned down at the same

European Notes.
The biting easterly wind mentioned In
last week's notes have alternated with
snow storms In northern Europe, heavy
rains in the south and sharp night frosts
in the west. As the mail is closing thepros-
pects are more agreeable, and In a few
days we shall know the worst and the
best about It. So far as the south is con-
cerned,the conditions are not reassuring.
In Provence many crops are grown In the
open which need protection furthcrnorth.
The weather has been exceptionally
cold during the Winter, particularly dur-
ing the month of February, and the cold
rains of the past two weeks have given
the plants ot onion, endive, chicory and
the brassicas a sickly, yellow appearance,
which bodes no good. A spell of genial
weather may do something to recover
them, but the.v can never be strong. The
carrot plant is also badly affected, but
southern grown carrot seed is lightly
esteemed In Europe. In the west, par-
ticularly the Loire valley, the night
frosts have been very destructive, par-
ticularly to beets, mangels and extra
early garden turnips. Hutabagas have
also suffered very much, and the acreage
now left standing is quite Insignificant.
The imperfectly developed condition of
carrots and cabbages has rendered them
an easy prey to disease and vermin, and
an early advent ot the most favorable
conditions Is needed to save them Irom
destruction. Crops In England are later,
and being just now practically at a
standstill must be reserved for a notice
later on.
The sweet pea bicentenary committee
having resolved at Its last meeting to
establish a National Sweet Pea Societ.v,
the project referred to in last week's
notes has been abandoned. It Is much
to be regretted that the Royal Horticul-
tural Society has not taken the matter
In hand. European Seeds.

Editor Florists* Exchange:
Under the head of " The Nursery Trade
Outlook,' in Issue of March 23, you make
me say in answer to question No. 5,
" but no great danger of over-produc-
tion." This should have been, "but in
great danger of over-production."
Alabama. W. F. Heikes,
American Hawthorna.— One of the
most Interesting and useful tasks to
which American botanical science has
ever addressed itself is the systematic
study of our American hawthorns which
has been carried on during the last few
years, centering at the Arnold Arbore-
tum of Harvard University, of which
Professor Charles S. Sargent is director.
The result of the investigation, so far,
has been to show that instead of being
weak in hawthorns, as for years has been
taken for granted, our American flora Is
exceptionally rich in them, with, Indetd,
more species, in all probability, than all
the rest of the world put together. In
1891 14 species were supposed to repre-
sent fully the genus as it exists in Ameri-
ca. Now 95 species, all of which have
been described and are already fairly
well known, are recognized; and be-
sides these, the collection of dried speci-
mens in the Arboretum herbarium shows
indications — often accompanied by suffl-
cient evidence to make possible the "pub-
lication" of the species — of not less than
150 others. But even this number by
no means represents, in all probability,
all the North American species: for there
are great regions still to be critically ex-
plored which there is reason to believe
contain many additional forms.
Professor Sargent believes that several
years of careful and sustained field work
will be necessary before It Is possible to
prepare anything like a comprehensive
monograph of these numerous forms. In
the meantime, with the assistance of
some of his correspondents, he Is describ-
ing the new species as fast as It Is practi-
cable to do so, and is bringing them Into
cultivation at the Arboretum, where
during the past two seasons about 250
different lots of seeds have been sown.
In addition to these sowings the new
species are being propagated by grafts
as rapidly as possible. Collections of all
these forms will be planted out together
in the Arboretum as soon as the plants
are large enough, and in a few years the
Arboretum ought to be the best place In
the world for a comparative study of
North American hawthorns. Moreover,
these large sowings of Crataegus seeds
will produce many more plants than can
find a permanent place In this single gar-
den, and the surplus will be used in the
IJoston parks and on private estates in
and near the city— «o that the Boston of
tlie next generation bids fair to be a
veritable paradise for those who love
hawthorns.

Visiting Nurserymen. — Harlan P.
Kelsey, of North Carolina, whose nurser-
ies are at Kawana. and whose office is
in Jloston, makes (lying trips between
the two places at times, and then his
Philadelphia friends look to see him make
a stop off. He speaks of a rather earlier
breaking up of Winter in North Carolina
than usual, and also reports good busi-
ness prospects ahead.
C. W. Ward, of the Cottage Gardens,
New York, was also a visitor.
Mr. Painter, superintendent of West
Laurel Hill cemetery, Philadelphia, is
looking forward to a good meeting of the
Association of Cemetery Superintendents,
to be held in Pittsburg, Pa., this Sum-
mer, and of which he is president.
Nurserymen's Prospects.— At the
present writing, March 30, most of
the nurserymen of the Northern States
are busier than they are at any other
time q( the year. The frost is out of the
ground in the Middle States, and this
means the utmost activity on the part of
all who have to ship trees; so many trees
and shrubs sprouting in a few weeks
after this occurs.
From ail quarters comes the same re-
port "Never so busy before." Prices are
hardly what they should be. It is said.
The leading nurseries aim to send out
good stock for the sake of maintaining
their good reputation, it (or no other rea-
son, and this necessitates an enormous
expense bill. Nurserymen's customers
rarely appreciate the cost of good
digging. It is often the half of what is
paidfora tree. Still, itisaboutimposslble
to And a nurseryman grumbling at the
present time.
The Flowering Grape. — What is
known in collections as "flowering
grape," Is a sterile form of Vitis riparla,
one of our wild grapes. In this vicinity the
wild grape exists in threedistinctspecies,
V. rlparia, V. cordifolia and V. labrnsca.
The first and second of these have com-
paratively small leaves, and they are thin
and green. The berries are quite small.
The "natives" call them chicken grapes.
It is from these that the grapes of our
market of theClintou and Delaware type
have come, ana from the V. riparla, the
"flowering grape." V.labrusca Is theone
with large, thick, woolly leaves, and
which bears the large berried grapes
known as fox grapes. Though the
"flowering grape" propagated in nurser-
ies is a form of V. riparia, there is no
reason why "flowering grapes" can not
be had from all the species. If in one's
travels through a wood he comes on a
wild grape of delicious fragrance, let him
mark It, then later in the season see if it
bearsfruit; If itdoesnot (norneverdoes).
It Is a "flowering grape." These forms
are valuable to plant where a vine for
flower and not for fruit is re(iuired.
Silver Foliaged Evergreens. — The
beautiful specimens of Picea pu ngens glau-
ea pendula which are displayed in theilius-
tratlon in The Florists' Exchange, re-
minds me to say a few words in favor of
silvery foliaged trees. The common form
of Picea pugens glauca.is certainly one of
thehaudsomest of evergreens. There are
many specimens of good size adorning
various private grounds in this vicinity,
and their remarkable beaut.y brings forth
unstinted praise from all who see them.
As planters well know, there are Picea
pungens of all grades of color from com-
mon green to sliver. The true silver is
runly produced true from seed. If one
sows a pound of seed, collected, as he is
told, from the very bluest trees, he will
not get a fourth of true blue, or silver.
,It, therefore, necessitates the grafting of
them, to keep up a supply of the true blue
sorts. In commerce, though the color is
perhaps better described as silver than
blue, this much admired tree is called the
"<'olorado blue spruce."
Some specimens of this tree which I
have seen on private grounds in this
neighborhood, and which are about 12
feet high, are lovely to look upon, and
harmonize nicely with the green of the
grass and of other tre s near them. Mr.
Koster's trees depict something which
will be in demand, as there is room tor
more kinds of evergreens than we have
of this silvery color.
One of your advertisers (Pinehurst
Nurseries), is sending out a new silver
barked Hr, Abies arizonica. Besides the
sliver color, the bark is corky. The silver
bark reminds one of a white birch. This,
should it prove adapted to these parts,
will be a great acquisition. Besides this,
the decided cork of the bark suggests a
p(j88ibllit.v of its use for the production
of cork, as there is no tree known at the
present time hardy enough for these
parts that produces cork of any value.
Borers in Hawthorns. — Readers of
The Florists' Exchange will be interest-
ed in the subjoined correspondence
relating to borers in hawthorns. I
would add that in this vicinit.y the borer
referred to troubles but the English haw-
thorn, CratfEgus oxycantha:
Mb. C. D. Zimmerman —
Dear Sik; In January last. In The Flo-
rists' Exchange, referring to an article of
mine on " Borera iu Trees." you commence
your notes by saying: "In the article on
•Borers In Trees' (January 5) appears tlie
following: 'The hawthorn Is attacked at
the base.' 1 have never seen cratiegus at^
tacked by Saperda Candida or any other
borer at the base, but the beautiful little
Saperda Fayii is quite plentiful here, attaek-
Inii' the branches."
I have lieen waiting for the ground to
thaw to get you out some of the bored haw-
thorns, and at last am able to do it, and
mail you three with this letter for your in-
spection.
Your reply, which I anticipate, I will uee in
The Florists' Excha.nge, with your per-
mission. Yours very truly,
Joseph Meehan.
Mr. Joseph Meehan — ■

Prqceedinos of Western New York
Horticultural Society. — A full report
of the proceedings of the forty-sixth an-
nual convention of the Western New
York Horticultural Society, held in
Rochester, Wednesday and Thursday,
January 2li and 2-1 last, has been pre-
pared and distributed by the secretary,
John Hall. The report forms a compact
and tasty pamphlet of over 150 pages.
This report is most gratifying to the so-
ciety, iu that it shows an unprecedented
growth in members and an equal growth
in interest in the matters for which the
society stands. Then, again, it voices the
harmonious feeling among the members
which characterized the close of a session
which promised a disruption of interests
in its early hours. This fact is one expla-
nation of the increase in membership.
Secretary Hall states in a note at the
end of the report that already the mem-
bership for 1901 has reached 800, and
that since this note was written at least
a hundred more names have been added
to the list.
The pamphlet contains full copies of
the papers read before the convention.
Tiiis book can be had only on condi-
tion of becoming a member of the society.
But that is an easy matter, for the secre-
tary, John Hall, can always be reached
at his office in the Chamber of Commerce
Building, Rochester, N. Y'.

The Florist in Public Life.
Perhaps the progressive spirit perme-
ating the modern florist and gardener
has no better exemplification than in the
nterest taiten by him in ali matters, na-
tional, state, and local, which maise for
the advancement and betterment of the
body politic; in other words, than in the
faithful performance of his duties as a
citizen of this great country. As Is
natural, this interest displays itself more
vividly in the important part played by
him in the affairs that pertain more par-
ticularly to his own municipality, and
occasionally the local newspaper fur-
nishes us with a glimpse of the good
«ork which some oneof the craft Isdoing
along this line and the reward bestowed
tor the effort put forth. But the com-
plete story of the florist and gardener In
public life has yet to be written. That
it would prove interesting to his fellow
craftsmen we doubt not, and of its ex-
JOSEPH JONES.
emplary Influence there can be no ques-
tion. With theassistance of those of our
readers who may be classed as " public
ofticials" — and there are many such — we
should like, therefore, to present from
time to time a brief sketch of their
labors for the public weal, with the end
in view that a record of faithful citizen-
ship on the part of members of the trade
may be secured and circulated among
those for whom it shall have an especial
significance. We solicit your friendly aid
toward the accomplishment of our ob-
ject.
Wappinger's Falls, N. Y., has just had
electric light installed in its streets and
dwellings. The Wappinger's Chronicle
of January 11 last, in presenting por-
traits of the town's municipal autlior-
Ities, pays the following tribute to Jo-
seph Jones, a florist and an ofiice-holder
of that place:
"Joseph Jones, the oldest member of
the Board of Trustees in point of service,
was first elected to this office in 1889.
He has been chairman of every one of the
six standing committees at various
times, and has also acted as president
on other occasions, often for long peri-
ods. When it was impossible to other-
wise straighten out a tangle in the fire
department, he consented to serve as
chief engineer for one term. His popu-
larity with all classes is very great. He
has pronounced policies on all public
questions, and was the direct means, in
his capacity as chairman of the Water
Supply Committee, of providing the pub-
lic square with a long-needed drinking
fountain. Mr. Jones' lousiness is that of
a florist, he possessing the largest and
best- managed greenhouses for miles
around. He has always been a persist-
ent advocate of a public water supply,
although his individual needs are pro-
vided for by the only windmill located
in the village. He has advocated the
establishment of the electric light, and
accomplished his full share of the work.
Lack of space forbids ua mentioning the
many public positions of honor held at
various times by Mr. Jones."
Deciduous Tree Seeds.
The percentage of germination of seeds
is largely influenced by variety and sea-
son, and very few trees, it any, produce
all perfect seed. It often appears ali
right, but may have been subjected to
some influence tiiat has injured its ger-
minating power. This is easily done
with many seeds by their becoming too
hot, dry or wet. As a general rule the
larger and heavier seeds always produce
the best plants, and should be obtained
when possible from healthy trees of good
form. The structure of the seed coat
largely determines the length of time it
takes It to sprout, and also the methods
to pursue in their management. Seeds
of willows, soft maples, poplars and elms
(except that of the red or slippery elm)
should be sown on ground that remains
reasonably moist, and as soon as possible
after gathering, as they lose their ger-
minating power very quickly. The depth
to which they are planted is important;
covering too deep is death to many kinds.
Elm, poplar, birch and elder should be
covered not more than one-half Inch;
maple, ash, box elder and basswood
from three-quarters to one inch; oak,
chestnut, butternut, walnut and hickory
from one and a half to two inches. The
black locust seems to do best when
planted almost two inches deep. It is
more convenient and economical to plant
in rows. As a rule, it is preferable to
plant Fall ripening feeds in the Fall, ex-
cept those which can be kept over with-
out danger of spoiling. Owing to the
added danger Fall-planted seeds have
to pass through, it is necessary that they
be planted a little thicker and deeper on
account of the heaving effect of frost,
washing down of soil, and ravage by
rodents. They also come up earlier, and
hence are moresubjectto damage l)y late
frosts. Those of a dry nature, such as
ash, box elder, maple, birch, linden (bass-
wood,) etc., are almost certain to grow
if kept until Spring properly. The most
common method of preserving them Is by
stratifying, that is, mixing them in layers
with sand or leaves. When only a small
amount is bandied they can be mixed
with moist sand in a box and the box
buried In the earth In some well-drained
spot; or they may be spread out on the
surface in such a place and covered with
boards. Those above mentioned may
also be preserved dry by being mixed
with leaves and hung up In sacks in some
cool, dry place. But if kept in this man-
ner they must be thoroughly soaked be-
fore planting or many of them, which
have become very dry, are liable to lie
over and not sprout until the second
season. Locust seeds are scalded, and
only the swollen ones planted. The thorn
apple, or wild thorn, and mountain ash
seed, like that of the red cedar and juni-
per, do not, as a rule, germinate until
the second season, and may be kepteither
In a stratified condition or else planted,
and the row mulched. Mulching to be
removed theSprlng of the second season.
Seeds of a fleshy covering, such as the
cherry, plum, etc., should be separated
from their pulp and kept stratified with
moist sand until planted. They, too,
like the nuts, require to bo frozen, and
may be planted in the Fall with safety;
although many hold them over until
Spring. When purchased direct from
some nearby nursery seedlings can be
obtained at a very low figure; and It Is
doubtful If in the majority of cases It
would be profitable for the average
farmer to raise them from seed. But in
many of our prairie sections, where there
is a large demand for trees for protection,
ornamental and timber planting, it will
repay him for the time and attention be-
stowed on his forest nursery, where, when
trees are needed either by himself or
neighbors, the choicest may be had direct
from the seed bed or nursery row.

Florists* Association Meeting.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Florists' Association of Indiana was
held April 2 at the Dennison Hotel. Be-
sides eight outside members over 20 city
members were present. The object of
the meeting was principally to arrange
for the convention of the American Car-
nation Society. Every one was enthusi-
astic, and if weall keep In the same spirit
great success Is assured. After consider-
able discussion an Executive Committee
of five was appointed as follows: Wm.
G. Bertermann, chairman; Fred Dorner,
Jr., H.W.IRleman, J.S.Stuart, E. G.Hill.
They were empowered to appoint all
sub-committees, and the committee have
selected the following:
Finance Committee. — H. W. RIeman,
chairman; John Evans, Meyer Heller,
Fred Dorner, Jr., George Wiegand.
Exhibition Committee.— J. S. Stuart,
chairman; Fred Lemon, E. A. Nelson,
John Bertermann, John Hartje.
Entertainment Committee. — E. G.
Hill, chairman; J. A. E. Haugh, Ed. Ber-
termann, Wm. Billingsly, Herman Junge.
Reception Committee. — R. A. Mc-
Keand, chairman; B. F. Alley, Adolph
Bauer, Fred Huckride, W. W. Coles.
In regard to the place of exhibition and
meeting, the German House will very
likely be selected. The main hall is about
40 X 80 feet, with beautiful foyer, an
auditorium below, with a seating capaci-
ty of 400 or more, committee rooms, if
needed, exclusive use of four bowling
alleys, with all accommodations, the use
of the club's privileges to all visiting mem-
bers. While the building Is not exactly
downtown, it can easily be reached from
all directions, and ia known to nearly
every citizen.
It is an up-to-date place in every re-
place. He has bought six more lota, 40
X 132 each. The new houses will be four
in number, each 2C x 132 feet; Garland
iron posts and gutters, and Challege ven-
tilating apparatus will be used. The
material will come from the ^Moninger
firm. Mr. Nelson will use considerable
space for his new pink carnation Mrs. E.
A. Nelson.
The former Meridian Conservatories
will, on June 1, move to College Avenue
and 59th Street. The firm will have six
acres of ground on which they will raise
considerable hardy stocks. They will
build four houses, each 16 x 150 feet.
The place will be known as the Bellvlew
Conservatories, P.O. Broadripple, Marlon
Co., Ind.
The outlook for Easter business is
good— plenty of lilies and other blooming
material, roses and carnations not being
so plentiful. Lots of flowering plants
a re to be seen at every prominent florist's
place. We all pray for good Spring
weather. W. B.
Baltimore.
Easter Outlook.
A temptation that few growers
can resist, namely, to salt down stock,
seems again to be presented and yielded
to, judging from the scarcity of flowers
in some quarters. Moreespeciaiiy is this
true with carnations, which have been
quite scarce. While in some instances car-
nations are off crop, such is not the con-
dition in all cases.
The weather has been far from favora-
ble for any belated stock. Those who
have late llliesand who bad depended on
a few sunny days to bring them in on
time are sadl.v disappointed.
Violets for ICaater are in great demand
in our latitude. They are nearly gone,
except with those who grow them In
The Hallam Cup, won by w. J. Palmer <fr Son, Buffalo,
at Toronto Carnation Show.
spect; ventilation Is perfect, firat-clasa
heating, no smoke, no dust from outside,
large vestibules, and a gallery in the
main ball.
At the request of President Haugh, 15
members expressed a wish to become
members of the Carnation Society. Ad-
mission to the exhibition will probably
be partly by Invitation and a charge to
the general public.
Besides a flrst-class bowling contest, a
banquet will be given on a scale In keep-
ing with our beautiful profession.
It was left to the club oflicera to select
a permanent meeting-place.
Stuart & Haugh exiilblted some excel-
lent Avondale and White Cloud carna-
tiona. E. G. Hill Co. sent some of their
new seedling roses. Other members also
showed cut flowers and plants.
The chrysanthemum show committee
reported good progress with subscrip-
tions, and a great exhibition is assured.
The president of the Carnation Society
invited the members to refreshments.
Notes.
E. A. Nelson will sbortl.7 add 17,-
000 square feet of glass to his present
frames; such as have violets will realize
a good profit.
Roses are really scarce and in many
cases off crop. Bulbous stock is looming
up everywhere; no doubt this year it
will find better sale on account of the
scarcity of other flowers.
The News.
Wm. Feast, who has been laid up
with a very heavy cold, will be about for
Easter week.
Halllday Brothers arc just right with
carnations; they will have them in
abundance.
Phillip Welsh has a fine lot of Easter
pot stock. He la a little late with his
liydrangeas, but otheratock ia exception-
ally good.
W. J. Halllday hna Juat hit It with hta
lilies, and they will be right for Saturday.
John Cook alwaysehows his ability as
a grower In the great variety of stock
he produces. Rose Baltimore showed up
fine the other day In a large vase exhib-
ited In his window on Charles Street.
Jules Tlschlnger has not entirely recov-
ered from his recent attack of paralyeie.

PLANTS AND FLOWERS.
PiNEHURST Violets.— We are in receipt
ot a bunch ot violets from the Pinehurst
Nurseries, North Carolina. The flowers
arrived here in good condition, so far as
the blooms themselves were concerned,
but the fragrance had evidently been lost
in transit. The variety has a good stem,
iB ot fair size and agreeable shade of
color, and It it produces blooms freely, It
should make a useful commercial sort.
The Bermuda Lily Industry.
lu an illustrated article appearing In
the New York Herald on Sunday last,
the writer, who has evidently been in-
quiring into the subject, throws some
light upon the inception ot the lily indus-
try in Bermuda which we do not recall
having seen before. He says: "To
James Richardson is due the honor Of
laying the foundation ot a new industry
among thecommunity whose trousers he
cut and coats he trimmed. James Hich-
ardson, of Hamilton, Bermuda, was a
tailor, but his thoughts were not eon-
fined to his thimble and goods. He loved
nature as well as his art and was an
authority on floriculture. His garden
was a local pride and his plants the envy
ot professional gardeners.
" Richardson is gone and the origin ot
the bulbs first in his possession is as ob-
scure as the origin ot lite. His secret died
with him, but the prevalent theory is
that they reached Bermuda from Japan
via London.
"The sartorial. floriculturist, however
never dreamed of the commercial possi-
bilities locked up in his bulbs. That is
altogether another story. It may be
with some inward regret, still it is with
frankness, that most Bermudans will
confess that it was Yankee shrewdness
that discovered the yellow glint on the
lily's white. They will tell you, how-
ever, that the people of the United States
were first awakened to the queenly
beauty of the flower by a well-known
Bermudan— the late Hariey Trott — who
about 1880 brought an immense plant
to New York and exhibited its extraor-
dinary bloom at a fashionable hotel.
"Just about this time it was that the
idea occurred to General Russell Hast-
ings, ot Ohio, who had spent several Win
ters in Bermuda, to raise the bulbs for
the New York market. He started in a
small way, with a very small outlay of
capital. Finding a ready sale tor the
product, he increased his acreage until
the bulbs he planted each season ran into
hundreds of thousands. When he retired
from the business, ten years later, he is
said to have been $200,000 to the good
— and all realized from his lilies."
The same writer avers that the total
output ot bulbs grown on the islands
represents an income of $80,000, and at
times almost double that amount. At
present at least 40 lily fields, ot more or
less consequence, are cultivated, to which
may be added scores of smaller patches
of land devoted to the same purpose.
The Herald's contributor also states
that when the lily bulbs seemed to be los-
ing theirvitality a tew years ago, the Ber-
muda farmer imported Japanese bulbs;
"but they did not become acclimated."
They, however, have left their Impress,
and to-day the American grower is the
recipientfrom Bermuda of the worst kind
of mixture in his bulbs imaginable. "The
cupidity ot the farmers in the islands in
" burning the candle at both ends" also
induced a disease among the bulbs which
even the scientific assistance rendered by
the British Government does not appear
able to overcome. This year the trouble
is as aggravated as it was some years
back when an appeal to the United States
Government to prevent the importation
of lily bulbs from Bermuda, was seriously
considered, and even threatened by
American growers. Reports ot losses by
lily cultivators the past season have been
frequent in our columns, and curtail-
ments ot bulb plantings from this source
are likely to ensue another year. Greed,
ignorance, carelessness and an erroneous
conception ot man's moral and commer-
cial obligations to his fellows are in a
talr way to bring about a serious impair-
ment, if not a total extinction, of what,
with changed conditions, would have re-
mained a staple and profitable industry
to the Bermuda farmer for many years
to come.
The scale ot points used in judging new
roses should be such as to guarantee the
community from being imposed upon by
a good-looking nothing, says President
Dorrance, of the American Rose Society.
To Distribute Young: Trees.
A new plan, having for its object the
distribution ot young trees throughout
the country, will be put into practical
operation by Secretary Wilson, ot the
Agricultural Department, next year.
Preparations for this work are now in
progress by the Department, and many
ot the seedlings will be propagated in the
grounds of the office here.
An investigation has been made to dis-
cover the varieties which will thrive best
in the various localities, and the distri-
bution will be made in a manner some-
what similar to that employed in the
seed distribution authorized by Congress.
Especial attention will be given to trees
ot the nut-bearing,Bhadeand lawn varie-
ty, and oaks, ash and lindens also will
constitute a prominent portion of the
distribution.
The Secretary believes the idea will
prove popular, and in view of the rapidly
diminishing forest reserves will be a de-
cided benefit to the country.— Washing-
ton Correspondent New York Times.
Weed Destrnction by Chemicals.
Much interest has been shown at a
number ot the agricultural experiment
stations in the possibility of weed de-
struction by means of chemicals. As
long ago as 1895 it was found at the
Vermont Station that the orange hawk-
weed, a serious pest in pastures and
meadows, could be destroyed without
injury to the grass by sowing salt over
the land at the rate ot 3,000 pounds per
acre. Many experiments have since been
conducted at the samestation with other
chemicals for the eradication of weeds in
walks, drives, courts, etc. Among the
chemicals tested were salt, copper sul-
phate, kerosene, liver ot sulphur, carbolic
acid, arsenic and sal soda, arsenate of
soda, and two commercial weed killers,
the active principle of which apparently
was arsenic. The weeds which it was
sought to destroy were plantains, dan-
delion, chicory, ragweed, knotweed, and
various grasses. All the chemicals were
applied in solution except the salt. As
in the case of thehawkweed experiments,
salt was found efficient in destroying all
the weeds when applied dry and in large
quantity. When salt is used tor this pur-
pose adjacent lawns should be protected
against washing, or they may be Injured.
Crude carbolic acid, one pint in tour pints
of water, applied atthe rate ot eight gal-
lons per square rod, was very efficient.
The various arsenical preparations
proved valuable as weed destroyers, and
choice between was largely a matter of
expense. All things considered, the arse-
nate of soda and the carbolic acid solu-
tions proved the most valuable chemicals
for weed destruction under the conditions
of these experiments— Bulletin 124, U.
S. Department ot Agriculture.
The foregoing may be ot interest to
"the man with the hoe," though it is
doubtful it the remedies suggested will
prove more efficacious than are his own
often and strenuously applied.

Iron Greenhouse Gutters.
Editor Florists' Exchange:
For the benefit of many florists who
think that the building of greenhouses
with Iron gutters is a new departure, I
desire to ask of my competitors the fol-
lowing questions, hoping that they will
answer them in a plain and intelligent
way, and without any attempt to mis-
lead the public:
(1) What is the difference in the life of
a gutter madeof castand one of wrought
iron, of the same weight ? Glive the time
in years.
(2) What is the difference in the life ot
a greenhouse gutter made of cast and
one ot wrought iron, set upon 2-inch gas
pipe for posts? Does a cast iron gutter
last longer than one of wrought iron
upon the same posts? I notice an adver-
tisement that leads me to think it is so
claimed.
(3) What is the known life of Nos. 14
to 18 galvanized wrought iron for green-
house material? Also give the life of cast
iron, copper and steel, ot same weight.
(4) How many gutters have you set
upon steel pipe, and do you think they
will carry your gutter for 50 years, as
the advertisement says? Steel pipe is
furnished by all dealers, unless distinctly
ordered otherwise, at a higher cost.
(5 ) Why do you condemn wrought iron
and steel, when you are using It In your
greenhouse building? Have you found
that under your way of building It lasts
longer than when other gutter men use
it?
(6) Did you not correspond with mill
men asking tohave your guttermadcout
of steel, but they told you it would cost
very much for the rolls and would be
more expensive than cast iron? Did you
think that the latter was good enough
for your gutter ? 1 dare state that it you
could get the steel gutters as cheap as
cast iron you would be selling them to-
day.
(7) Do you claim that a house built
with the grain end of thesasbbars placed
against an iron gutter held by two email
nails driven in the grain end ot the wood,
will be as strong and as durable as
others that are screwed or bolted
through the surface ot the wood by the
process of which the duplex gutter is
made?
(8) Do you believe that wood wiU
draw as much water through the sides
as in the grain, and hold it as long? The
wood Is very porous at the grain end,
and absorbs a large quantity of water.
Is that not a tact?
(9) Would you think that a small hole
made by a screw or for a bolt will ab-
sorb as much water as the full end of a
bar exposed the full size? The bolts are
dipped in a thick mixture ot mineral
paint as they are put in the bar, and are
waterproof.
(10) How is it possible to erect green-
houses and keep the posts from sagging,
in time, when the houses are lu good
order, and would a wrought Iron gutter
break as easily as a cast iron gutter?
(11) How can you prevent the dripping
from the under side ot your gutter In
cold, frost.v weather? How can you con-
trol the humidity ot a house sufficient to
grow plants and still not condense upon
the inside surface of the gutter? This is
what thousands ot us florists want to
know.
(12) You say that the gutter Is the
foundation ot the house. Is it not a tact
that when purlins are used the roof is
balanced and very little weight is upon
the gutter? Therefore, why use a gutter
weighing 13 lbs. per foot? Have you
ever seen a house with the gutters prac-
ticall.v gone, and the house standing all
right?
(13) By your adv. I am made to be-
lieve that my gutter will last only five
years, as you say that your gutter will
last 12 times longer. What kind ot ma-
terial were you thinking I was using—
paper or pressed clay ? Would you like
to put up a sum ot money for some char-
itable institution, witli my gutter
against yours? I will agree to any
amount, give both a thorough test, and
prove to you and the public that my
gutter is as good, and I claim much bet-
ter than a short-jointed cast-iron gutter.

so loiig in a greenhouse? I can show
you pipe that was in use 15 years, sold,
and thereafter used In a greenhouse lor
19 years, is to this day as good as new.
This is what the Duplex gutter is made
ol, irrespective of what others claim.

The Case of George J. Hughes.
Editor Florists^ Exthange:
On the 7th of March, this year, the
greenhouses and seed plant of George J.
Hughes, of Berlin, Camden Co., N. J.,
were totally destroyed by fire. All of
Hughes' possessions, except his clothing,
were lost. Hughes Is past middle life.
He is industrious and deserving. This
community Is helping him all they can,
but they are too poor to do much.
If the subscribers of The Florists' Ex-
change could be induced by your kind
influence to contribute seeds, materials
or money toward his reestablishment,
Hughes and his friends would ,^be most
grateful. W. A. Wescott, M. D.
BerUn, N. J.
[We respectfully submit the foregoing
I for the kind consideration of our readers,
and have every conUdence that Dr. Wes-
cott's appeal on behalf of Mr. Hughes
will meet with that generous response
so characteristic of those in the florist
trade.— Ed.]

The Market.
Weather conditions have been very
unfavorable for business during this the
ast week in Lent, and as yet there has
3een little advance in the prices of staple
lowers, though what Saturday will
jring forth we are unable to say with
my degree of certainty.
American Beauty roses seem to be right
n crop; Thursday they were selling at
f3 per dozen for the very best, and it is
;hought by some dealers that the flowers
ivill bring from $6 to $7 per dozen for
Easter. Bride and Bridesmaid roses are
lot over-plentiful; the shorter grades
lave been easier to dispose of than the
extras and specials. Twenty-flve cents
;ach for Easter, is mentioned as a possi-
)le price for the better grades of these
■OSes. They might reach that figure, but
0 do it the flowers will have to be fresh
nstead of being held over for several
lays. In red roses there is plenty of Gen-
■ral Jacqueminot and Ulrich Brunner to
lelp out the supply of Liberty and .\le-
,eor. The Jacqmeninot have been bring-
ng from 75c. to $2 per dozen, according
rO quality, while the best Brunner realize
ibout the same ttgure as American
ieauty.
Carnations have already stiffened in
)rice materially, and it is evident that a
urther advance will be made on Satur-
lay. Ordinary kinds are at 5f2.50 and
ipward and fancies are bringing from
'1 to $6 per 100, according to variety,
.^he supply of carnations is rather lim-
ted. Whether this be due to the plants
leing off crop, or the flowers being held
lack for Easter, we cannot say. Rumors
if full ice boxes at growers' establish-
ments reach the city, but we can tell bet-
er when the Saturday consignments
lave arrived.
Lilies are to be seen in profusion, and
hey are bringing 10c. and 12c. Potted
ily plants are supposed to be in short
upply and 15c. per flower, or more, is
xpected to be the asking price by Satur-
ay. Narcissus, both single and double,
re plentiful, and J2 per 100 is the top
rice realized, excepting forN. Horsfleldii,
i'hich variety fetches ?4 per 100.
Violets have been coming in rather
ght, but a plentiful supply for Easter is
xpected. If the weather prove favorable
here will be no trouble In clearing them
nt.
Orchids areanything but plentiful, and
mllax is scarce enough to be worth $2
lid upward per dozen strings. Lilac
oes not seem to be wanted very much;
unches are freely offered at 50c. and 75c.
"lips of double pink varieties are bring-
ig*5per 100.

There Is no lack of good flowers
niong the leading wholesale dealers,
ohn Young is receiving choice carna-
ons, both standard varieties and novel-
es, also orchids in selection, violets,
areissus Horsfleldii, and American
eauty and other roses. J. K. Allen has
a full line of rosea, including a good sup-
ply of General Jacqueminot. W. H.
Ghormley, besides all seasonable flowers,
has a large flst of flowering plants, in-
cluding genistas, azaleas, lilies, lilacs,
etc. George Bradshaw is showing some
fine plants of Primula obconica and vio-
lets, and in cut flowers, tulips and other
bulbous stock of high quality are on
hand. E. C. Horan, together with a full
line of ail seasonable flowers, is at pres-
ent receiving a very fine grade of sweet
peas.
Thomas Young, Jr., has annexed a
store on the opposite side of the street,
to give more room for the plant trade.
W. F. Sheridan is receiving quantities of
special American Beauty and other roses,
also lilies, callas and other seasonable
stock. Traendly & Schenck carry a full
list of commercial flowers, and are han-
dling large quantities of General Jacque-
minot and Ulrich Brunner roses.
Young & Nugent are receiving some
choice gardenias and white violets. 'This
firm is also selling the Bride and Brides-
maid roses from Peter Crowe, of Otica,
and the Dale estate of Brampton, Ont.
Blauvelt Bros., besides having Brides-
maid of the top quality, are handling
choice grades of freesia and mignonette.
A. Guttman has a good supply of all
kinds of cut flowers, and is also making
a specialty of potted heaths. Millang &
Salttord have a huge quantity of violets,
also a full line of lilies, narcissus, tulips,
carnations and rosea. Michael A. Hart
has a big atock of lilies, tulips, narcissus,
violets, carnations androses; among the
latterareconsignmentsof Ulrich Brunner
and General Jacqueminot. Wui. H. Gun-
ther has an enormous quantity of vio-
lets, also a full line of Bride and Brides-
maid roses, carnations, double flowering
stocks, etc. James McManus handles
choice orchidsand other cut flowers, also
a list of flowering plants, including
spirseaa, azaleaa, etc. Julius Lang has a
choice collection of flowering plants as
well as all the seasonable cut flowers.
Among the plantsare azaleas, hyacinths,
pans of lily of the valley, genistas, etc.
John J. Perkins has a full line of roses,
carnations, lilies, also a general assort-
ment of bulbous flowers.
S. J. Limprecht is using some natural
palm stems for made-up work in churches.
The stems are about 15 feet long and
from 7 to 10 inches in diameter. These,
with the leaves attached, make noble-
looking subjects, and are as near to the
real thing as it is possible to come for
palms of this size.
Moore, Hentz & Nash have consign-
ments of special roses, including American
Beauty and Golden Gate, also a lull line
of carnations and all bulbous flowers.
The New York Cut Flower Co. haa a
full line of standard and fancy carna-
tions and American Beauty and other
roses. At the Cut Flower Exchange the
many stand holders are showing plenty
of carnations, lilies. General Jacqueminot
roses, maidenhair fern, smilax.also bulb-
ous flowers in profusion. Frank Mil-
lang is located on the same floor, and
has a full complement of Easter flowers.
In Brooklyn, Hicks & Crawbuckare
handling a choice line of violets, as well
as roses and other flowers.
A. H. Langjahr has a fine lot of liliea,
carnations and roses, also a very large
assortment of bulbous and other Spring
blooms.
Among the retailers there is an unusually
large supply of flowerinn plants on hau<l
for Easter, and it is quite noticeable that
there is less elaborate display of fancy
pot covers and ribbons than has been the
custom heretofore.
Auction Rooms.
The plant sales were well attended
this week and evergreens particularly
brought good prices. Cieary & Co. had
a aale of floweiing plants, etc., on Thurs-
day in place of the regular Friday's sale.
Wm. Elliott & Sous had a special sale of
flowering plants on Friday.

(111) The White Ply.— The ealviaa,
heliotrope and several other plants in my
greenUouse are infested by a small white
By, which lives on the lower side of the
leaves and damages them somewhat.
Dipping in water has no effect on them,
as they are able to lie on the top of the
water and fly away at their pleasure.
How can I get rid of them ? They live
in the hottest parts of the house chiefly.
—J. Q.
— The little white fly is a species of
thrips and a very difficult subject to get
rid of. Fumigation with tobacco stems
and syringing the plants thoroughly
with some ol the tobacco insecticides are
the best remedies for this pest.
(112) Worms in Carnation Bench.
es. — We send two cuttings of carnation
Thomas Cartledge, which are attacked
by small worms that work in the base of
the plant. The cuttings rooted all right
and were transplanted, and now the
foliage gets yellow and the plants die.
There are two kinds of worms attacking
them. What can we do to eradicate the
pedts? Sometimes the worms originate
iu the sand and stop the cuttings from
rooting. The color of the pest is brown.
The worm itself is about an eighth of an
inch in length.
We used not water on some of our dirt
before setting the cuttings iu it, alter we
had discovered the worms in some other
plants that were set out, and think we
succeeded in killing all the worms there;
but will that stop others from coming?
— W. H. M. & Son.
— There were no worms on the cuttings
when they arrived here; but seeing that
worms infest both the soil and the sand
bed, there is an easy remedy. Change the
sand in thepropagatlng bed and eee that
it is kept clean. Any of these insects that
get into the sand come from allowing
dead cuttings or leaves to accumulate
upon it. The soil that was arounil the
carnations was of the poorest quality,
and it is no wonder that they become at-
tacked, as they cannot root freely and
get strong enough to resist the pest. Get
some well-rotted manure and mix it
with the soil in the proportion of one to
five, also put iu a good dusting of lime.
Transplant the rooted carnations into
such a soil, and there will be little trou-
ble from worms.
(113) Heating.— We wish to build a
greenhouse, even span, running north
and south, 16 feet wide. Owing to lay
of land, it does notseem advisable to dig
much of a cellar, or pit, for the heater;
we might possibly go down three feet.
Could we malntainfrom 50 to 5.5 degrees
(night temperature) with the boiler on a
level with the floor of the greenhouse?
Which would be the betterin such a case,
hot water or steam? How should we
pipe?— Tbe Maples Gkee.vhouse.
— For a small greenhouse hot water
will be found mare economical in fuel and
in the care required, and will of necessity
be used in all houses where the top of the
boiler is not below the level of the walks.
To heat a house 16 feet wide to 55 degrees
in zero weather, about 10 lines of 2-Inch
pipe will be required. If the house is 50
feet long, two overhead flows and eight
returns may be used, but if 100 feet long
two 2V4-inch overhead flows and eight
2-inch returns will be desirable. These
figures are for a well-built house, with
the usual slope of roof and where there
is no glass in the side walls. While a cir-
culation can be secured when the lower
end of the returns is on a level with the
grate of the heater, better results will be
secured if the boiler can be sunk two or
three feet. L. R. Taft.
Please let me know it three lines of
4-inch pipe will do the same work as four
lines of 2inch pipe; also if they will heat
as quickly. I have four rows of 2-inch
pipe under the back bench, tour rows of
2-inch pipe under the middle beds, a
similar number under the low side bench,
that I wish to take out and replace with
4-inch pipe. Would 2-inch and 4-inch
pipe work all right iu one house?
Co.NSTAfrt' Subscriber.
— Three 4-inch pipes will supply some-
thing more than three square teet of radi-
ation for each linear foot, while four
2-inch pipes supply but two and one-haK
feet. As a rule, the water in 2-lnch pipes
will be somewhat hotter than in 4-inch,
but this depends upon the arrangement
of the piping and other conditions. The
sketch submitted shows a three-quarter
span house 18 by 125 feet, with the boiler
on the north side about 50 feet from one
end. From theboilertwo flow pipes run
in either direction under the side benches
to the middle of the farther end and then
turning on themselves run back to the
boiler. There are also two pipes under
the middle bench which make a circuit of
the house. While the figures may not be
exactly correct, it is evident that in the
longer coil the water passes through
nearly 400 feet of 2-inch pipe, and with
under-t)ench piping this is altogether too
much. The substitution of a coil of three
4 inch pipes will give better results, al-
thoughthe circulation in theother 2-inch
coils will not be as good as at present,
unless they can in some way be fnvored.
It will be quite an expense to take out
the 2-inch pipes and replace with 600 feet
of 4inch, and the following change,
which will give much better results, Is
suggested: Use all of the pipes under the
side benches as returns and give them a
BRIEFS FOR BUSY FLORISTS.
Herbaceous borders should receive
some attention with respect to clearing
away the leaves and straw that have
been protecting tbe roots of the plants
through the Winter. Where any trans-
planting or dividing of clumps has yet
to be done, the sooner such work is ac-
complished the better will be the results.
When replanting this class of plants be
sure and fork into the soil plenty of well-
rotted manure. The plants usually have
to stand several years in the same place
and the soil can hardly be made too rich
for them. Fork over the ground lightly
between the established plants, working
in a little manure it it can be done with-
out disturbing the roots.
Outdoor rose beds may also be at-
tended to. First go over the plants and
prune them. The h. ps. can be cut back
quite severely, but the teas and hybrid
teas must not be cut back so hard. If a
mulch of manure has been lying on the
beds all Winter, loosen it with the fork
and then cover with an inch or two of
fresh soil. If only straw or leaves were
used as a mulch the best thing to do is

Slight fall toward the boiler, and take
out the pipes under the middle bench at
the end near the door and use the pipes
under the sides of this bench also as re-
turns, if more than 60 degrees is desired,
otherwise they would only be needed in
very cold weather. As flow pipes, run a
3-inch main on the purlin posts to sup-
ply the longer coil under the south bench
and the pipes under the south edge of the
middle bench, if they are retained; also
run a 21/2-inch main to supply the coil
under the north bench and the pipes
under the north edge ot the middle bench.
Arranged in this way the water will only
have to circulate through about 200 feet
ot 2-inch pipe, and as it will be supplied
by a large overhead flow pipe the circu-
lation should be quite rapid.

Money Orders for Canada.
An arrangement'has just been conclud-
ed between the ITnited Statesand Canada
under which all postal moneys sent be-
tween this country and Canada will go
at the domestic rate of three-tenths of
1 per cent., instead of the international
rate of 1 per cent., as at present.
It is expected that the radical reduc-
tion in the rate will treble the business.
The reduction is especially important to
business interests along the border. It
is probable that similar arrangements
will be made with the Philippines, Cuba
and elsewhere.
to clear these away, put on a coating of
manure, and fork it lightly into the soil,
taking care not to dig too deep nor too
near the plants.
TuuERO.SEs.— If It is desired to have
some tuberoses in flower early, a number
of the bulbs may be potted up singly in
4 inch pots and started on one of the
benches in the greenhouse. If this be
done now the plants will have quite a
start by the time the ground outdoors
is ready to plant them in, at which time
they can be planted out and will con-
tinue growing without any check. They
must not, however, be planted out be-
fore all danger trom frost is over.
Violets.
Paper read by Joseph Bradley, Mareh 28, be-
fore tbe Tarry town Horticultural Suriety.
I take cuttings in Februarv or the first
week in March from plants grown in a
cold frame, with just enough protection
from the cold to keep the plants alive.
IJy so doing I get stronger and more ro-
bust plants. I start the cuttings in half
sand and halt leaf mold. I find they root
quicker and make more roots than when
grown in sand entirel.v. They are left In
the violet houce until planted out. By
that time they have good, long roots,
and there is no trouble in getting them
started to grow when planted out. I
plant in three different places in the gar-
den to make sure that I get flowers .in
one place if not iu another. I plant in a
row running east and west on the north
side of a row ol cannas, or some other
tall-growing plant. This gives the vio-
lets enough shade in the hottest part ol
the day. I have planted a bed for tbe
last few years alongside of a row of lo-
cust trees, running north and south on
the west side, but each time the plants
have become diseased.
My soil is very sandy, so I find it neces-
sary to give the plants a heavy mulching.
Halt-rotted leaves are good tor this pur-
pose, as they retain the moisture in the
soil tor a long time, and violets like the
earth cool and moist. This I find a most
important thing, to get good, strong
plants. I believe In keeping the runners
picked off, and it the plants spread too
much and make too man.v crowns, 1
pinch them oft, thus getting better flowere]
from plants with one ortwocrownsthani
from those with four or five. I may not:
get as many blooms, but I get longer
and stiffer stems. It a long dry spell ol
weather should ensue, I give the plants
a good watering, enough to saturate the,
earth around them.
I have grown violets in the house and
in frames all Summer, but this plan I dc
not approve of. I find that in growing
them outside in the Summer, I can make
the beds rich enough inside to run tht
plants over Winter instead ot applying
any manure. I believe a great deal o!
harm is done by using artificial manure*
In the Winter. I utilize the soil taker
from the rose house — affording a depti
of about six inches, and spread a gooi
coating ot rotted cow manure on top
over this I put a good coating of air |
slacked lime and mix the whole well to
gether. When I have not enough rost
soil I take good garden soil, using a
the rate of two parts to one ot lea
mold, with the same treatment of ma
nure and lime as stated above. 1 hav
used new soil, the same as tor roses, bu
I cannot get as good results from it.
I plant the violets inside in September
I like them to get a good hold of the fresi
soil before thegrowing season closes, bu
am careful to keep the house open as Iodj
as possible, and allowing the plants t<
have the first few llghtfrosts. This stifi
ens them and makes them hardy. I di
not turn on the heat until I am forced to
trying to keep the temperature at abou
•12 degrees with the ventilators openec
a little. I would rather have the tern
perature at freezing point than at 50 de
grees. I keep the plants well watered
and syringe them on bright mornings
but never iu the evening.
I find it very beneficial to keep the sur
face of thesoii between theplants stirred
this I do with an old chisel. Igive twoo
three sprinklings of air-slacked lime an<
work it in with the chisel and hands
This keeps the earth sweet, for there i:
nothing so detrimental to violets ai
allowing the earth to become sour.
There are two Insects which if not kep
in check damage the plants. One is <
small green worm, or caterpillar, whicl
lodges on theunderslde of the leaves am
eats them full of holes. I use Slug Sho
for this pest, putting on the insecticidi
with a small blower. Then there is tbi
larvie of the gall fly. This insect gets 01
the young leaves as they come up tron
the crown, and causes them to curl an(
rot off. I use Ivory soap for these— one
small cake dissolved in five gallons 0 ,
water and applied either with a syring(
or watering pot. This also keeps dowi
red spider.
The eel worm is very destructive. ] '
was troubled with it until I used plenty |
of lime. I believe violets like the lime I
and there seems to be uo fear of using
too much.
Among diseases of the violet, the oni ;
commonly called spot causes the inosi 1
trouble. This, I think, arises from toii
much dampness on the foliage, couiilec 1
with a warm, muggy atmosphere. I liav( |
hadthespot for the past three years, an( 1
each time have succeeded in getting rit
of it by simply placing the plants in th<
frame or greenhouse,and putting the sasl
over them to keep off the dew, providing
alsoalively circulation ot air. In theframt
I drive a row of stakes at each end of th(
tash, having the stakes 15 Inches abov(
the frame; Ithen nail a strip on top.anr
over this lay the sash. In the house, I lift
up the sash from the bottom, thusgettinp
a good circulation otair. And herel woulc,
say never leave the sash closed one houi
when you can have them open. When s
few dull days in Winter come and th<
frames have been kept closed, I have seer
specks of disease result.
There is another form of disease whicl
causes a brown rim around the leaf
This I think comes from trouble at thi
roots, and may be caused by the soil be
coming stagnant and sour. Or it maj

be caused by artificial manure or by the
eel worm. This trouble is very hard to
get rid of. I give the plants a good
coating of air-slaciied lime, and work it
in as deep as possible without cutting
the roots; this helps the plants some-
what if they are not too badly attacked.
Then there is what is commonly called
the heart rot. This again is caused by a
too close atmosphere, and is one of the
reasons I prefer a medium-sized plant to
a large one; the foliage on the former is
not so deuse, thus allowing the crowns
to get more airand keeping them dry. I
have had more trouble from this last-
named disease, if it may be called such,
than from any of the others. I believe
this was on account of so much warm,
muggy weather so late in the Fall.
It you wish to keep violets blooming
as long as possible in the Spring, it is
necessary to shade the glass with lime
the last week in February or the first
week in March; this keeps the plants
from sending up their youngfoliage. For
those in the frame, about the last week
in March I lay on the shutters, and tilt
the sash from one side; by so doing 1
can get good blooms from two to three
weeks longer than ordinarily.

Peoria, III.— J. S. .Murray is a happy
man with a dne lot of Harrisii lilies fur
Easter — the best stock for some years
past. Henry Baer, the foreman, consid-
ers carnations G. H. Cr«ue and The Mar-
quis the most profitable of their class.
He has them in grand shape, and says
they are never out of crop here.
John H. Cox, who has charge of the
seed and nursery branch here, reports
very satisfactory business.
St. Louis, Mo.— C. C. Sanders has his
houses crowded with Easter stock; be
struck it right and has no doubt cleared
out at good prices. W. Schray and the
Michel Plant Co. had all they could at-
tend to. and John Young was busy mak-
ing a $50 Soral pall, composed of single
violets, lily of the valley and lilies, and
congratulating himeelf that it was re-
quired the Sunday before Easter, instead
of on that day. J. J. Beneke also had
one of the best jobs of the season in ma k-
ing up some ten pieces for one commis-
sion. Charlie Kuehn said he would like
to go in a trance and see what his numer-
ous growers intended shipping in tor
Easter, as the general cry is "short
stocks." Frank Fillmore's wagon is the
talk of the town; the artist has painted
a grand bunch of The Marqnis carnation
that is true to life. Frank says he has
the flowers also on the bench. Ostertag
Bros, have placed two new wagons with
spanking teams on the road for Easter,
which Henry predicts will be the best on
record. The store of George Waldbart
presents u handsome appearance, as will
be seen in the cuts which will appear in
The Exchangk at an early date.
Kansas City, Mo.— H. J. Millatt is well
pleased with the season's business. W. L.
Rock has opened another store which is
a hummer. Samuel .Murray has the best
lot of lilies in town and Colonel .Sharpe,
his grower, says the secret is that they
have been kept on the dry side. Humfeld
Floral Co. will have no surplus, while R.
S. Brown is shipping as fast as all hands
can pack. Work will begin upon the new
rangeot houses immediately after Easter.
The Rock-Heite greenhouse plant will be
constructed upon a rocky ledge within
view of the city. Arthur Newell feels too
much confined in his small greenhouse
downtown, and is looking for a desira-
ble location. Expansion is the word; the
additional cost of material seems to cut
but little figure, apparently.
Omaha.— Hess & Swoboda are adding
several thousand feet i.'f glass, and J. H.
Wilcox contemplates putting up an ad-
ditional range that will cover a hillside.
His stock is in splendid shape, and as he
says he cannot begin to supply the de-
mand, he feels encouraged to enlarge his
already mammoth plant.
Milwaukee, Wis.- The Freytag plant
is in first class shape with Easter stock
abundant. Will expects the best Easter
business on record.
Grand Rapids, Mich.— Freyllng & Men-

tions in themaket and have followed the
reports of exhibits in The Exchancje with
great interest. The new houses built last

give them every show.
Messrs. Crabb and Smith returned from
Baltimore in due course, highly pleased
with their trip. Irene shows up much

Store Managfement.
The subject of store management is one
on which there is always a great deal to
be said no matter how much good ad-
vice and instruction may have gone be-
fore. It Is safe to say that no two men
will agree on the best methods in every
particular, though, of course, essentially
there is only one best way, and that all
strive to approach, though ideas on
minor subjects and details differ. In the
following notes, therefore, may be found
much that has already been said, and no
doubt something not in accord with
everybody's way of thinking.
The lUiYEit.
Perhaps one of the most important
personages in the personnel of the up-to-
date florist's store is the buyer. The
supply tor the day depends upon his
gauge of the customers' demands in ad-
vance; he must figure on having in stock
everything that is on the market for
which there is likely to be any demand,
no matter how slight, and still figure so
as to have tbewastedecreafed to a mini-
WiNDOw Displays.
As to window displays I believe, as is
generally admitted, that they are valua-
ble advertisements, and are well worth
a special item ot expense, to keep them in
good condition at all times. The show
window is an advantageous place tor
any florist to display bis skill, in the use
of flowers and plants for decoratiie pur-
poses, and a tastily arranged window
will surely capture the view of the pas-
serby, more quickly in a flower store,
than in a dry goods or other shop, and
must necessarily bear fruit. A passer-
by, having been attracted by two or
three tasteful arrangements would, when
the first opportunity or occasion for a
bouse decoration appeared, remember
that Mr. Soand-So showed good judg-
ment and taste in his window displays
aud would feel satisHed that an order
placed in his bands would be skillfully
carried out.
Waste.
Much of the waste in a store would be
eliminated by careful buying and then
l)y careful handling ot stock on arrival.
Attention should be given to this matter
night and morning.
Delivery Wagon of Pennook Bros, 1814 Chestnut St, Philadelphia
mum. This is not always an easy task,
so unsteady is the demand, even in the
largest stores. For instance, on Monday
a very heavy callis experienced fur roses,
cleaning out the whole stock, which is
replenished and, perhaps, wit.h an in-
creased supply on Tuesday, when just as
likely as not the demand will swing en-
tirely from roses over to carnations, vio-
lets, chrysanthemums, or something else.
Of course, there must be a loss of some
stock all the time; but the successful
buyer is the one who, though having
everything seasonable in stock, and giv-
ing no cause tor a customer to go else-
where to get half or a part ot his or her
order, still has the public's wants so fig-
ured on as to reduce the necessary evil
(waste) to the lowest possible point.
Such a one Is a very valuable aciiuisition
to any store owner.
True, ot course, the good buyer must
be able to obtain first-class goods at
least at as low a price as others, in order
that selling his flowers at the same price
as his competitors, the storeman may
be left a margin large enough to work
on.
Buying for a holiday trade, such as
Christmas or Easter, is a more diflicult
problem, and one that must be very
largely conjecture, though, of course, tl]o
quantities used the year previous would
be found valuable as a basis. Most ot
the cutflowers forsuch a day are ordered
a week or so in advance. All the plants,
too, are orderf d by that time. Then in
ordering cut flowers from the grower In
advance. If the or<ler is at all large, the
buyer generally gets the answer, " Well,
I can't promise that number to you, but
I will give you as many as I can." It
can be readily seen how three or four
such answers would overthrow all pre-
vious calculations.
Help.
On the subject of help, whether male
or female, although itiegenerally allowed
that a man is of more service around a
store than a woman, still, 1 believe, that
liaving at least one woman, aside from
the bookkeeper in the store, is almost a
necessity. By that I mean one who is a
good saleswoman, and capable of wait-
ing upon women purchasers, of which
there are many, who prefer to have those
of their own sex wait upon tbeiu. Outside
of this one lady, I believe that male help is
tar preferable.
Intehior Equipment.
The interior equipment of stores is a
subject well worthy ot consideration.
One ot the prettiest ot interior fittings
can be created by white wood work with
gold trimmings, topped oft with a sky
effect In ceiling decoration. A few pretty
mirrors, well placed, greatly enhance the
beauty of both the store and the stock.
Delivery.
The delivery of packages, too. Is a sub-
ject which must be given thought. It is
all important that flowers ordered for an
occasion be delivered on time; there is
nothing so displeasing to a customer as
to have to wait a half hour or more for
flowers which she had ordered to be de-
livered at some speclflerl |)eriod. Very
often inattention to this detail has cost
a florist a very good customer on its first
occurrence.
Each florist should have a very neat
ap|>earlng box tor delivering flowers, one
either of white or some mild I'olor, not
too gaudy nor coven d with the wall pa-
Iier designs seensotieciuently a few years
ago. It seems to be a practice with 'most
florists to select some special cf)lor as his
own for boxes, one adopting white,
another pink, still another yellow, etc.
Profits.
In the matter of profits to be derived
from the sale ot flowers, most retailers, I
believe, rely on 100 per cent, or a doub-
ling of their money. Although it may be
argued that selling double the stock at
one-halt the proBts would realize the
same compensation to the dealer, and
iucrease the number ot flower buyers
materially, yet, 1 believe, as matters
stand to-day, the old 100 per cent, profit
should be derived when possible.
Introducing Novelties.
As to retailers helping the introduction
of novelties, most wide-awake floribts
will take hold of any new subject which
impresses them, ana make a show of it
in their windows, provided they can con-
trol the whole cut; l)ut a retailer does
not care to go to any expense to push a
new thing and then have his competitor
across the streethandlethe samevariety,
and be able to sellitcheaper than he cnn,
without the extra expense of advertising!
etc. 1 believe that a grower producing
a novelty necessarily having a small pro-
duct tor a year or two, would do well to
have one store handle all the cut, aud in
that way the retailer n ill do his best to
push it, and the new variety will thus be-
come well known. F. J. Norton.

Horticultural Reminiscences of My
Trip to Europe and the
Paris Exposition.
Read before the Montreal Gardeners and Flo-
rlstn' Club, by Monsieur Pinateau, Cheva-
lier de Merit de Hortleole (France) and
Superintendent of the Municipal Gardens
and Siiuares, Montreal.
[Translated from the French by M.
Pinateau.]
As the object of my visit was firstly
Paris, I will commence with the exposi-
tion. Entering the exhibition through
the monumental gate on the Place de la
Concorde, we found ourselves in an im-
mense garden, extending from the Place
de la Concorde to Le Pont des Invalides,
in the form of an incomparable arc. This
was but a part of the ground used for
horticultural purposes, and here were
grouped thousands of varieties of plants,
shrubs and ornamental trees. Each exhi-
bitor grouped his plants with that taste,
that way of interminglingand arranging
the colors which make of the gardener a
true artist. The choicest specimens were
Isolated on the lawns, those which at-
tracted the most attention being the
great collections of conifers and rho-
dodendrons, brought together from all
points of France and other countries.
Between these, gardens were laid out,
where all plants which can stand the
open air during the Summer were plant-
ed. There were splendid collections of
tuberous begonias, fuchsias, geraniums,
abutilons, etc., all kinds of annuals in
cultivation. Among these latter I espe-
cially remarked some asters and zinnias,
with blooms of surprising size and per-
fect form.
The French cannas were conspicuous
by their variety and quality and diver-
sity of coloring, ranging from deepest
scarlet to purest yellow.
Some superb seedling carnations, .S to
4 inches in diameter, were the pride of
their exhibitors. Among them a new va-
riety, Triumphe de I'Exposition, a pure
yellow of perfect form, was the delight
of amateurs. Monsieur Regnier, 44 Av-
enue de Marigny, Fontenoy-sous-bois,
was the happy exhibitor. This gentle-
man was awarded several first prizes
and diplomas for the collection.
The interior of the greenhouses was re-
served for collections of orchids, palms,
draccpnas and caladiums; in fact, a trop-
ical vegetation in all its beauty. I saw
here |a Cyauophyllum magniflcum ex-
hibited by an English grower, 15 feet high
with leaves 8 feet in length and 3 feet in
width. It Is unnecessary to say that
By the vigor of these it was easy to see
they get the most scientific treatment.
The palmorium, 100 feet in height, is
planted with palms, many of these reach-
ing almost to the roof, and in magnifi-
cent condition. A very large exotic house
communicates with this palmorium. In
this house are several small streams,
their banks planted with ferns. The sur-
face of the soil under the tall plants Is
covered with lycopodiums and plants of
dwarf growth. I may add the menagerie
here is considered one of the finest in the
world.
Paro des Bcttes Chaumont.
This park is laid out on lands formerly
used as quarries, and which had at a
time not far distant a very bad reputa-
tion. It is now well wooded, and is, in
my opinion, one of the most beautiful in
Paris. It is 50 acres in extent, and, situ-
ated on an elevation, it is very pictur-
esque and presents a wild aopearance.
From the elevation of this park a fine
panorama of Paris and the surrounding
country is obtainable. Undulating roads
and paths run among the rocks. The
architect's principal aim was to respect
nature, and his success was complete.
The lawns are magnificent; large groups
of rhododendrons are planted in all un-
Miniature Japanese Garden, constructed by M. Homer, Lansdowne, Pa , in a box 28x24x6 inches.
Other plants were disposed in large
groups, and instead of each species being
grouped by Itself, all varieties were inter-
mingled, thus presenting a charming ap-
pearance.
I shall not attempt to give you a no-
menclature of the roses; suffice it to say
they occupied a superficial area of 4,000
square yards. At the Invalide Station,
the tea, hybrid, Bourbon and Bengal
collections, whether dwarf or standard,
were formed into large clumps. At the
Palais du Trocadero they ornamented
the right side of the cascade and ex-
tended around the basin. I went to see
these roses three times, on July 3, August
4 and 26, and each time they were loaded
with beautiful blossoms, notwithstand-
ing the exceedingly hot weather prevail-
ing during that period. The exhibitors
were of all nationalities, the majority
being from the vicinity of Paris, the
Rhone valley and the Mediterranean.
The whole of this section was designated
as Class 46, and covered an area of 20,-
000 square yards, disposed at five differ-
ent pointsof theexhibition grounds, viz. :
The Champs Eiys^es, Invalides, Cour le
Heine, Champs de Mars and Trocadero.
My second visit was to Class 47, con-
sisting of hothouse plants and annuals.
Two permanent greenhouses were
erected, 300 x 115 x 75 feet in height.
these exhibits were the best efforts of the
horticultural art of Europe.
In the center of these tiouses were the
exhibits ofcutflowers,each variety shown
in its season. This was also the case
with plants in pots. Here in its season
was to be seen every variety in cultiva-
tion, and all in the highest state of per-
fection. My attention was particularly
attracted by the gladioli; their beauty
defies description. I measured some of
these specimens, which bad flower spikes
44 Inches in length. The world's best
seedsmen were also represented in this
section.
In one of the wings of these houses
were the canned and other fruit exhibits.
Our Canadian fruits, 1 am happy to say,
easily held their own, and carried off
many honors.
Time will not permit me to give a
longer description of the exhibition, but
allow me to give a few details in refer-
ence to the Parisian parks. I will begin
with the Jardin d'Acclimatatlon, situ-
ated in the center of the Bois de Bou-
logne. This park is 40 acres in extent.
It is In this garden the French Govern-
ment carrlps on trials and experiments In
both vegetable and animal acclimatiza-
tion. Numerous greenhouses of different
construction and dimensions are filled
with temperate and tropical plants.
dulations of the ground, at the base of
ledges of rock, and at the entrance to the
numerous grottoes. This park contains
a large lake, in the center of which rises
an island to a height of 150 feet, with a
chalet at its highest point, reached by
stairs cut in the rock and also by tun-
nels cut in the latter. Numerous statues
in well-chosen positions ornament the
lawns, and the art of carpet bedding is
developed to its fullest extent. .Some
beds also of single scarlet and white
geraniums and blue lobelia produced a
very pleasing effect.
Jaedin des plantes.
There Is but little I can tell you of this
garden, which you all know by reputa-
tion. Itcontains one of the finest botan-
ical collections in the world, and is much
frequented by the studious young man
and the amateur. Here nearly every
variety of plant in cultivation can be
found, carefully labeled with its botan-
ical and common name. A complete range
of greenhouses is a source of enjoyment
to visitors, and a superb menagerie is a
great attraction to the children of Paris.
.Iardin dd Luxembourg.
This is certainly the most beautiful In
Paris, by reason of its floral decorations.
Here I remarked manyveryflne tuberous
begonias planted in the open ground in
partly shaded positions. I also noted
groups of these plants in exposed posi-
tions, planted in a way which I think
could be put into practice In Montreal.
This samesystem is practiced in the parks
of London. It consists of planting stand-
ard plants, such as abutilons, roses, etc.,
three feet apart, and then planting the
begonias between. The former intercepts
the sun's rays, and thus keeps the more
delicate plants from injury. Thousands
of roses of widely different forms embel-
lish this garden and surround the Palais
du Luxembourg, where the Senate of
France holds its sessions. Magnificent
marble and bronze statues give a most
artistic effect to the whole.
PARC MONCEAU.
This park is not very large, but by its
situation in the center of the aristocratic
and elegant district is the most be-
witching. It is crossed and encircled by
driveways, which communicate with all
the avenues of the surrounding districts.
Among its distinguishing beauties are
the wrought-iron gates of its principal
entrance, the river, its grove of full-
grown forest trees, the Italian bridge,
and the number of marble and bronze
statues it contains, the work of the
masters in sculptural art. In fact, noth-
ing has been omitted to make this the
most prominent of Parisian parks. The
floral decorations are renewed several
times each year, according to the season
of the variety used. It was here I saw
the most beautilui tuberous begonias
planted in the open, but partly shaded
by Caladlum esculentum, the lower
leaves of the caladiums being removed.
Here, as in all the other parks, there is
an abundance of roses.
There are several other parks in I'aris
of which 1 would like to speak to you,
but I have already been rather long, and
will only mention the Paris municipal
gardens. These are situated not far
from Auteuil, and are known as
Jardin de la Muette.
It is there that all plants required for
the parks and squares are raised; 94
greenhouses are erected, and 300 gar-
deners are employed all the .year around.
The area of this establishment is 150
acres, of which aboutone-third is nurser.v,
where are grown trees for the parks and
streets, the remainder being ueed for the
growing of shrubs, perennials and annu-
als. The greater part of the nouses is
filled with ornamental plants which is
used for civic decorations.
Palace, Park and Gardens of
Versailles.
Versailles, the former royal residence
of France, is situated 20milesfrom Paris.
Its illustrious occupants have spent
many millions of francs on its decoration.
A great part of the magnificent palace
is to-day transformed into a national
museum, where all the glorious produc-
tions of the country are gathered to-
gether and given the greatest caie. The
gardens and parks are the finest in the
world, and 1 cannot begin to dtscribe
them. Suffice it to say the grounds were
laid out from designs by the famous Le
Notre, King Louis XIV. 's landscape archi-
tect, and the greater part of the work
was executed under his personal direc-
tion. Magnificent views can he obtained
from different points of the grounds.
Here may be seen lakes with connecting
canals, water-falls, basins, a multitude
of statues of every kind, and especially
Innumerable fountains, which produce a
fairylike effect when in full play.
The whole is kept in perfect order at
the expense of the government. No
visitor to Paris should return without
seeing Versailles, the Small and the Great
Trianon, and the gardens surrounding
the same. The orangery alone is worth
the trip. Theoranges, myrtles and pome-
granates were planted in the reign of
Louis XIII. and are therefore over 200
years old.

A Miniature Japanese Garden.
Accompanying the photograph from
which our illustration is reproduced, A.
J. Pennock, of Lansdowne, Pa., sends
the following particulars regarding this
unique specimen of the gardener's art :
The box in which the garden was
planted Is 28 inches long, 24 Inches wide,
and 6 inches deep, and is made of 2-inch
oak plank. It Is filled with sand, except
the area occupied by the miniature lake,
seen in the foreground of the Illustration.
The sand imparts very little nourishment
to the plants, yet retains the necessary
moisture; consequently the plants re-
main healthy and to a great extent

dwarfed. The garden should be watered
or sprayed the same as an ordinary
greenhouse plant.
Upon the hill and other portions of the
garden are appropriately placed thin
Blabs of stone to represent roclis, and
large bowlders, which give it the appear-
ance of having stood for ages. These
surface sections of stone were chiseled
from old weather-beaten rocks.
As mentioned before, in the foreground
is a miniature lake. It is made in irregu-
lar shape, of copper. The inner sides are
lined with thin pieces of old rock, held
together with cement. The bottom is
covered with pebbles, while in the water
are growing small aquatics. In here sev-
eral tiny goldfish have been flourishing
all Winter, and the water has remained
entirely clear, none of the green conferva
having made its appearance, as in the
glass aquarium in the same greenhouse.
Short-growing varieties of moss repre-
sent the grass. The evergreen trees in
this little garden are those grown by the
Japanese and dwarfed as they only can
do it. The one on the hill at the
right hand near the corner is about 14
years old, yet is only seven inches high.
Slirubbery is represented by varieties of
box, euonymus, etc., with here and
there small ferns, lycopodium and other
little plants.
The buildings, bridge, lanterns,etc.,are
of Japanese pottery ware, so that they
stand the moisture necessary for the
plants. With the contrast in the differ-
ent shades of green and other dull colors,
there is produced a very pretty little
landscape, which has been greatly ad-
mired by every one who has seen it.
Treatment of Winter Muskmelons.
Having been asked by the editor of The
Florists' Exchange to furnish a few
cultural notes on the growing of Winter
muskmelons, I will commence with the
sowing of the seed. This I usually sow
about the third week in August lor the
first crop, which ripens about the first
week in November. I sow the seeds in
3-inch pots, four seeds to each pot,
placing them in a temperature of from 70
to 80 degrees, covering the pots with
sheets of glass, on the top of which I
place a sheet of newspaper to prevent
evaporation. In about four days the
seedlings begin to appear through the
soil, when the glass and paper are re-
moved, and the young plantlets receive
all the sun possible. When the first rough
leaf is partly developed, I pot off the
plants singly into 3-inch pots, and from
these I plant out in the benches, two feet
apart, in a compost of loam and cow
manure, made i3rm. On all fine days the
plants are syringed, at least twice a day,
early in the morning and again in the
afternoon just before the sun gets off the
houses; at the same time closing the ven-
tilators if tlie weather has permitted ven-
tilation being given.
With regard to ventilation, I might
mention that we give a little air when
the thermometer stands at 80 degrees,
and increase it as the houses get warmer
during the day, maintaining a night tem-
perature of 65 to 70 degrees. The plants
are then staked and trained up the trel-
lis. We allow them to run 5 or 6 feet when
the points are taken out. The plants
then begin to throw the main laterals
and will show some fruit; but the fruit
should not be set on theseif a crop Is de-
sired, as only one or two flowers come
out at a time, and in setting those they
will take the lead and begin to swell,
and all the flowers set afterward will
probably swell for a little while, then
turn yellow and drop off. The main lat-
erals sliould therefore be stopped when
they liave made four or five leaves;
from the axils of those leaves they will
break and produce sub-laterals. From
these we take our crop, as we get more
female flowers out at one time than by
taking those on the main laterals.
The fruit should not be set before there
are at least four or five female flowers
out on a plant, and these should be all
set together; they will then swell at the
same time, and a much larger crop is
assured than by takiug the fruit from the
main laterals.
After the fruit is set the plants should
be stopped, about three leaves above the
fruit, the other growths stopped and tied
in as they are made.
The plants should never be allowed to
become really dry when growing, but
may be kept on the dry side (not allow-
ing them to wilt, when they are on the
turn of ripening. I think by this treatment
the fruit has a sweeter flavor than when
much water is given when the fruit is on
the turn.
When the plants are about two feet in
crossed with European, others with
American varieties, and the flavor is
equal to that of any grown In the Sum-
mer time, either outside or under glass.
There are lots of details that must be
watched when growing melons in the
Winter, which can only be gained by ex-
perience and close observation.

Orchid Culture,
At the recent dinner of the New Jer-
sey Floricultural Society, held in Or-
ange, Dr. Kitchen, in a few postpran-
dial remarks, referred to the progress
he had made during the past year in
the cultivation of orchids. He said
that he could report that in all prob-

height we place a" collar" of air-slacked
lime around theneckof the plant, extend-
ing the lime about two or three inches
from the stem outward in a circle, and
about one-half an inch thick. This pre-
vents canker, a disease that melons are
subject to, and which is the rotting of
theplant close to the soil. When water-
ing care is taken not to water on this
collar or near the stem.
For succession the seed is sown about
every month. We have three houseB,||and
from the time the seed was sown, the lat-
ter part of August, till the 25th of March,
I have picked 500 ripe melons, taking
two crops each from two of the houses,
and one from the third, the second crop
of which has not yet matured. Mylthree
houses measure, one 50 feet, one 80 and
one 25 feet by 12 feet wide. Some of the
fruit weighed close upon eight pounds,
but averaged 4 to 41/, pounds each.
I grow all my own hybrids; some
ability he had made a slight profit—
po.ssiloly not more than a one per cent,
return on his investment. He found
that in growing orchids it was some-
what the same as with fruit treesi; a
certain age and maturity had to be at-
tained before full flowering could be
expected. This was a rather discour-
aging consideration, for even under the
most favorable conditions most of the
plants increased in size and vigor very
slowly. The year's work had con-
vinced him that he had discovered the
art of nourishing orchids, and although
this was a scientific tact, the further
fact was apparent that it was difficult
to nourish orchids under the conditions
necessary to the economical manage-
ment of the large number of plants
in a commercial establishment.
The doctor also stated that his con-
viction had been confirmed that there
was no "best" method of potting or-
chids; the methods must be varied to
meet the requirements of the different
species, and of the size and strength of
the plants. Some orchid growers still
cling to the idea of attaching a numlaer
of plants to long boards inclined at
such an angle as to secure a quick
drainage of the water. So far as he
could se that plan should not be recom-
mended. He believed that every plant
should have its special receptacle or
base of attachment in order that its
individual requirements could be best
supplied. He used a horizontal block
for dendrobiums. and pans for starting
newly imported cattleyas and certain
other things that may be grown on
benches. Ordinary orchid pans six
inches in diameter and under were the
best for certain varieties when hung
up. Liarge plants of orchids did best
in wooden baskets suspended within
two or three feet of the glass. Cypri-
pedlums give satisfaction in deep pans
set in an ordinary flower pot. This
plan allowed of di-spensing with crock
drainage or other pest-harboring ma-
terials in the pot, while the double pot
acts as a pest trap.
During the year he had discovered a
valuable method of labeling plants.
This was accomplished by wrapping an
ordinary wire label to the upper part
of a long galvanized nail, the nail being
easily stuck into the soil and easily
removed from it, besides being prac-
tically indestructible .
Dr. Kitchen also stated that he had
discovered a method of applying with
safety hydrocyanic acid gas. The
preparation is in the form of a liquid
in which the cyanic gas is locked up
so tight that it requires the application
of both high heat and acid to liberate
it. The fluid is entirely safe to handle
and may even be swallowed in small
quantities without producing any
worse results than nausea and vomit-
ing. It is pnured into an evaporating
pan suspended over a lamp, or lamps,
in the houses. Sulphuric acid is added
and the apparatus is left to itself. No
gas is produced until' the fluid has be-
gun to boil. In fact, the process is one
of diffusing hydrocyanic acid gas
in an aqueous vapor that lias enough
of a peculiar odor to be easily recog-
nized, and which does not so easily
escape from the greenliouse as the
dryer gas produced by the use of
cyanide of potash and acid. The pro-
cess is effective anct is also much
cheaper than the old method.
He had becoTne more and more im-
pressed with tlie importance of giving
orchids a distinct rest during their nat-
ural resting sea.son, if they are to be
kept flowering well and in the best of
health. In order to facilitate these re-
quirements he is now having two
houses erected for the special purpose
of affording space to which plants
needing rest can be removed whenever
desirable.
The doctor also stated that he had
devised a simple combustion regulator
which can be applied to the smoke pipe
of any furnace, paving one-third of the
fuel hitherto burned in the furnace,
and also saving one-half the labor of
attending flres. It automatically pre-
vents the emission of coal gas from the
furnace or smoke flue. The mechan-
ism, though simple and inexpensive, in-
volves the application of two principles
not hitherto applied to heating appara-
tuses. It s«\'es fuel by securing a com-
plete combustion of smoke, coal gas
and all cinders and clinkers. Only one-
third of the usual quantity of ashes is
produced, and tlie combustion of the
coal can lie regulated so as to burn
equably through a long winter's night
without decline of temperature toward
morning.

Outlook for Easter.
At this writing (Wednesday) it
looks more than ever like a plant Easter.
The quantities o( plants put on the mar-
ket are enormous. Lilies have been vpell
sold at $8 to ?10 per 100 flowers, a few
extra choice ones being held at $12.50,
but when bought in large quantities the
former prices ruled. Azaleas, though not
so plentiful as In former years, are quite
la evidence in the various stores, and
some very good plants have been brought
in. The supply of bulbs in pans is quite
heavy. Genistas, acacias, hydrangeas.
Marguerites, primulas, cyclamen, and a
few ericas add to the extensive displays.
Crimson Rambler roses, too, are quite
plentiful this season, many being grown
to a shorter, more bushy, and it would
seem a more salable size than formerly.
Quite a few nice little plants have been
put on the market at $18 per dozen.
Some of the large ones bring $5 to $7
each, wholesale.
Theeut-flower market should be in good
condition. It now looks as it every-
thing, excepting, possibly, carnations,
will be In supply sufficient to meet the
demand. Prices will probably not
change much, except for carnations,
from those lastquoted. The latter stock,
however, has been " boosted up" pretty
well since Monday, $4 per 100 being ob-
tained for best quality of ordinary sorts,
while fancies and extra quality went to
$5 per 100.
Roses are now in good stock and have
only been moving fairly well. American
Beauty and Ulrich Brunner sell at $3 to
$5 per dozen for No. 1 to fancy special
grade, mediums bringing $1.50 to $2.50.
Bride and oridesmaid, too, are quite
plentiful, realizing $8 to $10 per 100 for
extra grade No. 1, and smaller ones run
from $6 down. Bulbous stock continues
very plentiful. Von Slon narcissus make
SI. 25 to $1.50 per 100; Princeps, $1.50
to $2. and Golden Spur, Empress and
Horsfleldil, $3 to $4. Tulips continue in
good supply, single ones making $2 to $.3
per 100 and double varieties $3.50 to
$4. Hyacinths do pretty well at$2 to $3.
Lilies have been very plentiful and
move slowly at $6 to $8 per 100, a few
of extra quality making $10. Callas go
at $5 to $8 per 100.
Violets are in good supply still and give
promiseof holding outfor some time yet,
though with the single ones the flowers
are coming small. .Some of the growers
have already thrown out their Princess
of Wales, which will cause a little extra
demand for double violets. Lily of the
valley is very plentiful, moving slowly
at 82 to $4. E. J. N.
John W. Duncan, who for the last five
years has been superintendent for W. H.

quent contributor to the horticultural

£agter Prospects.
Business during the past few days
has been moderately fair, with the
weather more open and assisting the
blooming of any backward Easter stock.
The prospects of trade for this annual
affair portend well. The buying class as
a rule seem to feel liberal and ready to
pay fair prices for what they want.
The signs point to a coming demand
for all the good salable stock in attract-
ive plants likely to be offered, with
quantities and kinds balancing up favor-
ably. Cut blooms promise to be in aver-
age supply as regards quantity.
In plant lines some local supplies are a
bit below those of some past seasons in
quantity. The cineraria seems to have
been almost passed by growers. While
aiming to depend ou blooming the Japan
Lilium longiflorum instead of the earlier
L. Harrisii, the latter seem freaky enough
to upset some of the best calculations,
and this stock locally will be much below
recent years. Azaleas are rather free in
supply and in quality they appear a good
percentage above the average.
A hurried call at some of the nearest
local growers showed the following va-
rious detailed conditions:
Chas. D. Zimmerman has some good
azaleas and rhododendrons. J. H. Reb-
stock's establishment, for some years
now under the control of Foreman Con-
rad Forbach,is a true floral sight— Crim-
son Rambler roses by the hundreds, pot-
grown stock, hybrids in Ulrich Brunner
and Mrs. John Laing are given much
interest. A large lot of Lilium longiflo-
rum are almost dwarfish, short, but well
timed and blooms of good quality. Aza-
leas are numerous and good; tulips poor.
W. B. Miiley has a moderate lot of cin-
erarias that look well and sell well; also
good hyacinths and some azaleas. Will
left liliums out of his series this season.
Keitsch & Son are a bit more crowded
than in some years, and take special pride
in an azalea stock, the plants of which
finished out in such flue shape as to fairly
sell themselves. Here also may be seen
the now unusual old-time showing of
pot-grown Hermosa rose in full bloom
and moderate sized plants, which flnd
ready takers.
Mrs. D. Newiauds had a batch of longi-
florum lilies that may be termed an out-
rightfailure — all diseased and few flowers.
The four new houses at this place, how-
ever, are fllled with an assortment of
other salable stock. With Gottlieb Basler
longiflorum lilies, under similar treat-
ment, are fully as early as L. Harrisii,
both being of good quality.
At Wm. Scott's place the usual well-
timed stock in fine assortment is seen.
The quantity of his last year's growing
In beautiful Rambler roses and lilies is
missed a bit in our eyes. Azaleas are
nice, also Dutch hyacinths. Tulips are
indifferent, and lily of the valley is spe-
cially fine.
Palmer &Son at Lancaster report lilies
and azaleas all right and ample in sup-
ply for their retail trade. S. B. Smiley,
of the same place, is said to have an ex-
ceptionally fine lot of L. longiflorum in
a quantity none too large.
Newbeck & Beyer have, as usual, some
good bulbous stock.
The generali.v accepted asking price for
Easter lily plants at retail is 25c. per
flower.
The stores are elaborating on window
displays more than usual. Crepe paper
and light fabric trimmed arches, freely
lighted by electric jets, are leading fea-
tures,that with theadding of a little ma
terial trim up beautifully and showy,
and adapt well as a setting for a bottom
or base effect such as a standing galax
cross of heavy proportions or a large
vase of blooms. Zimmerman, of Chip-
pewa Street, worked out a six-foot-high
Easter rabbit, of German origin as sent-
iment goes, and built,so to speak, of galax
leaves. Being too large fortheshowwin-
dow, it is given an ample setting ou the
(coming) grassy lawn adjacent to his
floral depot.
J. H. Rebstock has taken a corner
store annex, and there makes a very bril-
liant plant display. He recently made a
short trip to the Pacific coast.
Max Beatus, of Cleveland, was a caller
this week. ViDi.
St. Louis.
A Quiet Market.
The market in the early part of the
past week was inclined to be rather
quiet; later, however, business picked up
and a decided scarcity of some things
was apparent, among them roses and
white carnations. The first named range
in price from 4c. to 8c. for the best, while
carnations still bring up to 4c. Ameri-
can Beauty roses have been In heavy
crop for the past two weeks, and sell at
$5 per dozen for choice stock. It is feared
they will be mostly over for Easter.
Tulipsand Von Sion narcissus are plen-
tiful, and sell as low as 2c. in large lots.
Lilies are in lair supply, bringing 1 5c.
The store men are now hustling around
to get their stocks together. There is a
demand for nearly everything that is at
all good, with lilies the first choice and
not at all plentilul.

A Euchre Party.
Under the able management of F.
H. Weber, F. M. Ellis, Wm. Adels and
George Windier a most enjoyable party
was held on the night ot March 28.
About 150 people attended and played
for 57 prizes, donated by the different
florists. These prizes consisted of plants
and cut flowers, from a 50c. cineraria
to the capital prize of a flO palm,
donated by Fred C. Weber. All seemed
to enjoy themselves. The lateness ol
the season prevented a good man;
florists from attending who would
otherwise have been present. How the
affair turned out from a financial point
cannot be learned as yet, but the object
is a worthy one and will be made public
soon.
Walter Mott, of H. A. Dreer, is in town
in the interests of his house, and is getting
a lot of orders for Fall trade. C. C. S.

£aster Outlook,
Easter is upon us and Lent a thing
of the past. The larger retail florists
complain that the Lenten season has not
been as good as heretofore, supposedly
owing a great deal to absentees in the
South and California. There is some fear
that this condition will even affect the
Easter trade to a certain extent. How-
ever, the masses are here, and there will
be a good business done; there is no
doubt of that.
The question is. What stock will be
available? If the past week and the first
days of this one are to be taken as a cri-
terion, matters will look blue, as there
has been a visible dearth of stock of all
kinds sent in, including bulbous flowers.
But, then, one knows tliere has been a de-
cided holding back. Will it be carried
too far?
Lilies will surely be scarcer than last
year, and we expect all will sell. We hear
of some roses that will be off crop, but
look for a good supply of these, with big
demand for good whites. A lew Kaieerln
Augusta Victoria begin to show up;
American Beauty will be in fair supply.
Meteor not so plentiful, especially fine
stock. Some grand Golden Gate are on
hand, and seem to be more and more in
demand as the supplies increase. A few
Marquise Litta have been coming in, but
are provokingly short in the stems,
though the buds are fine. Liberty is
hardly worth mentioning, and there are
no hybrids except a very few La France.
General Jacqueminot is out of this mar-
ket.
Carnations will be in good supply, but
will hold up to prices quoted for stand-
ards and fancies. White sorts will be the
scarcest.
All kinds of bulbous stock will be in
liberal supply. Southern single narcis-
sus is in, but not much in demand. Sin-
gle Narcissus poeticus, home grown, is
selling well.
Neither asparagus nor smilax is very
abundant. Large supplies of wild smi-
lax are received. Hardy ferns are unu-
sually poor In quality forthis timeof the
year; fine stock will sell at $2.50 to $3
per 1,000.
As to the plant trade, it will be brisk
for all Urst-class stock. It Is quite the
thing now to use nice lily and other
plants in pots as window decorations at
Easter among the State Street stores.
This makes quite a demand, which would
be larger were good stock obtainable.
Azaleas of best quality are rather scarce.
Tuesday noon we trad a driving snow
and rain storm.
Among Growers.
Anton Then was fairly successful
with his lilies, though notall were ready
for Easter. He has his carnations tor
next year's supply potted, and now out
In cold frames to harden off. He is still
cutting good flowers. He has a good lot
of swainsonas just coming in, and a
splendid strain of Primula obconica for
Easter. His bedding geraniums are an
excellent lot; no ditliculty in selling such
stock when bedding time comes.
Fred Hills, Maywood, says roses will
be partially off crop at Easter with him.
The plants have been giving excellent re-
sults, so fiecannotcomplain. F. .Stielow,
Niies Center, reports that out of 3,000
lilies planted about 500 were practically
no good. About as many more will not
be in for Easter; the balance are fair
stock as times with these go.
Emil Buettner expects his cut of liliums
win be about 20,000 blooms. His White
Cloud carnations are in splendid crop,
giving fine flowers.
The News.
Frank Garland, grower at Des
Plalnes, has taken the store and bought
the fixtures at the A. H. Poehlmann place,
55 Wabash Avenue, and will hereafter
sell his own flowers at wholesale.
It is reported that John Brod, of Niies
Center, will after the 1st of May close
up his two retail stores and sell at
wholesale only.
W. N. Rudd. secretary of the Horticul-
tural Society of Chicago, reports a notl-
Hcatlon to the effect that the S. A. F.
O. H. will give one silver and one
bronze medal, to be awarded to new or
meritorious plants or flowers of Ameri-
can origin, exhibited at the annual exhi-
bition of the Horticultural Society next
Fall.
On Tuesday the voters of the district
in which the South Parks are located
will vote for or against the sale of
4 per cent, bonds to the amount of
$500,000 to pay tor flnishlng up Jackson
Park, where the World's Fair was held.

coming in slowly, but the end of this
week better results are expected. .Stock
is still abundant, but rather high in price.
Easter prices will be about the same as
those of last year, and the supply will
more than likely meet the demand.
There will be a good lot of llli(8, asit
appears, hut the price will be high— 15c.
to 20c. wholesale.
i'lants have been selling very well In
spite of the cool weather. Azaleas are
line and bring good prices: plenty of
these plants are on hand. Hydrangeas
arenot as good aslast year— a little late.
Other stock Is in line shape; there is
plenty of It, but It Is selling lively.

The outlook for Easter trade in this
city is very good; the growers of olanta
have done a large business, and" from
present Indications the cut-flower trade
will also be satisfactory.
Among the growers of plants the all-
absorbing question Is lilies. About three
years ago, during a discussion at a club
meeting, most of the speakers, referring
to lilies, laid great stress on the bulbs
being diseased as being the cause of so
many bad lilies. George Anderson at
that meeting said: "Mr. President, they
don't know how to grow them; it is not
the bulbs but all is In knowing how to
grow them." Now, gradually, many
growers are coming around to this opin-
ion. One thing clearly demonstrated this
year la that too much heat has spoiled
many lilies; the best have been found in
the poorest houses, where it was impos-
sible to maintain a high temperature.
On one place were seen two houses of
lilies; in the first house only 20 percent,
would be in tor Easter, and the plants
were poor. The other house contained
all good plants. On questioning this
grower it was learned that he had been
trying to force his lilies, and in the house
containing the good stock he could not
get ahigher temperature than 65 degrees,
on account of having few pipes. In the
other house the temperature ran from 70
to 7.'). The bulbs were bought for Lillum
Harrisii.and the same stock was in both
houses.
No one could wish for better lilies than
those grown by George Anderson, and
these were grown in an old house that
was of little use tor anything in the cut-
flower line.
Another perplexing thing has been that
the stock was so mixed. In a batch of
L. louglHorum, six distinct types can be
picked out; ot these there are three that
require different treatment. The broad-
leaved variety looks the best when the
buds first show, but lateron is the worst
as to flowers. The narrow-leaved sort
produces much better and more flowers.
Some say this is what the Japs call Lili-
um longiflorum grandiflorum, but with
proper cultivation the narrow-leaved
variety, with dark stem, makes the best
plant, producing the best and the largest
number of flowers. Of the whole lot this
is probably the latest and must be han-
dled accordingly.
Theie is not much change as to the
general run of Easter stock. Hydrangeas
are not so numerous this year, and on
several places are not so good. Azaleas
are more plentiful, and a much larger
quantity of small plants were grown.
Crimson Bambler roses are generally
good, and a smaller number of large
plants is seen. More lily of the valley in
pots and pans is offered this year. A
larger quantity of hyacinths in small
pans is grown; the larger pans offered
are mostly made up — three large hya-
cinths in the center, with terns around
the edge of the pan.
Among Growers.
Wm. K. Harris had a very choice
lot of plants showing good cultivation.
His bougainvilleas were very fine this
year; in addition to the large specimens
of these he grew a lot in 6-Inch pots, and
they all found ready sale. He also had
a fine lot of genistas in 12-inch pans,four
small plants to each pan. They were
well done, being d wart, and well flowered.
Azaleas were also good, but not so many
large plants were grown. Rhododen-
drons were done well, and the varieties
well selected, there being several fine
specimens of a delicate lavender shade;
also a nice lot of Deutzia gracilis, spircpa
in variety, lilacs, and Crimson Rambler
roses, lily of the valley In pots and pans,
and a grand lot of Narcissus Emperor,
the bulbs being home-grown stock.

HENRY M. ROBINSON & CO. c.^u-'r-t^Va^r.. Boston, Mass.
lI«BUsa tlM nwlita' Bxohaas* whm writing.
George Anderson, in addition to his
well-grown lilies, has the best house of
Ulrich Brunner roses seen here in some
time. The house contains 1,500 plants,
and will certainly average over three
first-class flowers to the plant.
Aldrich Pennock still retains his repu-
tation as a grower of good lily of the
valley. He has sent in a grand lot in
pots and pans, both foliage and flowers
beng strong and good. All sold quickly.
Robert Scott & Son had a grand lot of
Crimson Rambler roses tor Easter, run-
ning from small to medium sizes; also
some good lilies, but like most others,
the stock was much mixed. Two houses
ot American Beauty were just right for a
heavy crop. Liberty was in good shape,
producing lots of flowers. This variety
has paid better than American Beauty
the past season. At no time does the
house look promising like other roses,
but the plants are producing flowers
right along. From the large bouse, 200
flowers on an average have been cut
daily for March. The new rose, Robert
Scott, is doing well, and from present
appearance it is evident that longer
stems can be had as the rose gets under-
stood and the proper treatment is given
it.
Robert Craig & Son, had, as usual, a
large quantity of Easter stock, in all 70,-
000 flowers of lilies were produced, and
this did not fill all orders, some stock
had to be bought. Two car loads of
plants were sent to New York on Satur-
day last. A;new|azalea, Princess Victoria,
has been grown this year. It is some-
what like Vervseneana, but darker, and
the flower is semi-double. It requires
rather more forcing than other varieties,
but is considered a good Easter sort.
Hyacinths in pans were done very well;
small bulbs were used and made a very
pretty display; as Robert Craig re-
marked, " They were just right for the
breakfast table on Easter morning."
Hugh Graham had the best lot of aza-
leas seen in this section; all were well
flowered and were justrightto givesatis-
taction. He also had a grand lot of hya-
cinths and tulips. These were used
mostly for made-up pans. One house of
roses of La France and Kaiserin Augusta
Victoria, treated as hybrids, were just in
full crop.
Samuel S. Pennock reports large sales
of plants. His venture in selling plants
proved quite succcessfui.
The Florists' Club meeting for April
will be held on Tuesday next, April 9,
and should prove a large meeting. The
theater benefit will occur April 17. Come
In next Tuesday and get your tickets.
David Rust.
Hamilton, Ont.
There is a splendid lot of plants in sight
tor Easter. The weather was very unfa-
vorable throughout February for the
market growers who still have their
houses packed full ot blooming stock. A
nicelotof cinerariasis in sight, but hardly
as well grown,Ithlnk,asin former years.
Violets seem to be In good supply.
Roses at E. G. Brown's are looking
well, and there will no doubt be a big
cutting tor Easter. Webster Bros, have
some h. p. roses in bloom, pot grown;
not many h. p.s have been forced in late
years.
Store business hascontinued very good
for several weeks past and all look for a
large increase in Easter trade. Easter
lilies are again almost worthless in some
places.
F. G. Foster very untortunatel.v had
one ot his houses of bedding stock frozen
last week; it will no doubt cause incon-
venience.
The Robert Evans Seed Co., under the
new management, is pushing and extend-
ing business. This flrm, also Bruce &
Co., had their lithographed catalogue
cover destroyed by flre when just ready
for deUvery, and had to use hastily made
covers of more somber hues than the
originals. Beateb.
Worcester, Mass.
The prospects for Easter trade are
grand and will probably exceed other
years. Carnations are a little scarce and
sell at from 50c. to $1.50 per dozen.
As usual.azaleas will sell well tor Easter,
as will white hyacinths and white tulips.
Many violets are sold and stock is plenti-
ful, but lilies will be in greatest demand.
Most ot the lilies sold here are grown at
home; one party has 1,200 in stock.
Tarrytown, N. Y.
The Tarrytown Horticultural Society
held Its regular monthly meeting March
28, President Smith in the chair, and
about 30 members being present. The
Executive Committee reported that the
annual flower show ot the society would
be held November 5, 6 and 7. L. A.
Martin resigned as corresponding secre-
tary; his future address will be Green-
wich, Conn. On motion a vote of thanks
was tendered Mr. Martin tor his very able
services. Henry Bradley was elected to
membership, and Messrs. Alex. McClelland,
Alfred E.Cooke and Mr. Grossmann were
proposed.
Onehundred Marie Louise violetB,exhib-
ited by Joseph Bradley, were awarded a
certificate of merit. Claude Wilson and
Abel Weeks were the judges. H. J.Rayner
was duly elected as corresponding secre-
tary. Joseph Bradley read a very able
paper on " "The Cultivation of Violets;"
a discussion followed, in which Messrs.
Cockburn, Scott, Farlow and Mooney
took part. H. J. Rayner.

Trade Notes.
We are Btil) having dark and cloudy
weather with no proBpects of a change,
so you cau well imagine where the atoclc
for Easter will be. BusineBB up to thiB
time has been very satisfactory, and
with a fair supply of stock to fill orders.
Funeral work has kept the market well
cleaned up.
Jottings.
B. P. Critchell, i am pleased to re
port, is improving nicely, and with a lit-
tle care will soon be around again.
Mr. Wilson, of Corbett & Wilson, who
has been rery sick, is on the road to re-
covery. He also had a very close call.
The Rivals.
I am sorry to see that the rose
show in New York was not the success
that was expected, and also that some
of the rosarians are scared of their rival,
" the carnation." I think the paper read
by Mr. Durfee was the best advertisement
the carnation has had for a long time.
He may call the carnation " a light and
airy nothing" if he wishes, but to-day
the demand for the " light and airy noth-
ing" is quiteequalto.if not greater than,
that for the rose. We all admit that the
rose lieads the list, and probably always
will, but at the same time we must con-
fess that the carnation is a dangerous
second. As for collapsing, look well to
your rose, or the carnation will be there
when your rose has drooped its head. I
will admit, if you are gning to sell the
rose by weight, that the carnation is not
in it, but as to the fragrance, the honors
are equally divided. Who has ever seen
a carnation so large that it was painful?
I^ook at Prosperity and Enquirer! Is
there anything painful about either? If
there is it is simply because we cannot
get enough of them. lam aware that
Mr. Durfee is upholding the rose; so am
I, but we must not tread upon the car-
nation's toes; it's dangerous.

region, spreading thecoUl from the north
right over the "whole of the west of En-
rt)i)e. If the wind veens to the east it will
be worse, for an east wind will come to
ns icy cold, having passed over the cold
continent." How this will affect the
plants now growing can easily be under-
stood when westate that the ground has
been frozen solid to a depth of three
inches during the past two days. Itects,
mangels anil carrots must suffer badly.
.Vs the sun is now quite powerful in the
middle of the day, signs of tender growth
.are visible in cabbages, kales and such
lilce plants, and these cannot fail to be
badly injured. .\Itogether the prospect
is far from idiecriiig.
The National .Sweet Pea Society has
been starteil under the most favorable
auspices. The good work done in America
is recognized by the inclusion of the
names of W. .Itlee Burpee and Rev. W. T.
Hntohins in the list of vice-presidents.
R. Dean, V. M. H., is secretary and N. N.
Sherwood, Esq., V. M. H., treasurer.
The Executive Committee is comprehen-
sive in its scope and formation, all
branches of horticulture being included,
while the seed trade is represented by .S.
B. Dicks and Leonard Brown, in ad<lition
to the treasurer. The work of the socie-
ty will include a two-day exhibition in
London at the end of July, the cl.'issify-
ing of varieties already in commerce, and
the awarding of certificates to new and
meritorious introductions as they appear.
Judging by the muddle whicli now exists
the various committees will have a very
busy time. European Seeds.
Long Island Seed Crops.
Editor Florists^ Exchange:
Under the above heading your corre-
spondent tries to explain wiiy cabbage
stock has rotted so badly during the past
season. In an experience of nearly halt a
century I have known this to occur many
times. Sometimes we said it was due to
the weather being too warm, sometimes
too cold, but in years gone by rotting was
the exception and not the rule, as of late,
because farmers received prices that en-
abled them to give up land to growing cab-
bage heads, and in every way caring for
the crop. Nowadays, since the business of
contracting with seedsmen and subletting
to farmers has been take up by men who
have had but little experience, and at least
one who never grew an acre of cabbage in
his life, all cutting prices and devising
some plan to grow cheap (?) {and nasty)
cabbage seed, the stock is not produced.
Of late years it has become a custom
with many farmers to sow cabbage seed as
one would sow turnips, and partially thin
them, never transplanting : hence the
stalks grow long and thin, and there is no
body to the stem ; the heads are small and
soft, with not enough sulistance to stand
even an ordinary Winter. I notice this
Spring that good, strong, heavy, trans-
planted stock (heads) come out in far better
shape than soft half-headed, miserable
stock, grown in a slipshod, haphazard
way. The finest crop of Wakefield cab-
bage seed that grew on Long Island in
1871 (I was then alone in my glory) I sold
to J. M. Thorburn & Co. at t4 per pound.
Now if we can get $1 we think we are
doing well.
The effort to grow 25c. cabbage seed has
proved a miserable failure; farmers will
no longer be gulled They can demand
and receive better comper sation, and those
who will grow transplanted heavy stock
are the ones who will get the money.

Kalniia Latifolia (the Laurel).— A
few days ago, when sbowing a friend
some nice bushes of Kalmia latifolia, he
remarked that though he and other
friends had attempted many times to in-
troduce this evergreen to their grounds,
they could not succeed. As explained to
him, there are two prominent reasons
why many tail in the way he and his
friends do. The plant is set in the full
sun and in a stiff soil — two things which
it cannot endure. The Kalmia latifolia
is of the same nature as the rhododen-
dron; both require partial shade. In
fact, in their wild haunts they see but lit-
tle sunlight unless it be in Winter. I
would consider a situation where they
could be in the shade for the afternoon,
at least, most desirable for them.
The question of soil is an important
one. Kalmias have small hair-like roots,
in common with all ericaceous plants,
and must have a light soil. Vegetable
mold and sand is a good mixture, but
common loam and sand will answer very
well. When in soil of this nature the
plants prefer plenty of moisture, as water
quickly passes through it; on the con-
trary, should the soil be stiff, it requires
a good deal of care not to overwater
them. Many evergreens, native of dense
woods, though hardly catching a ray of
sunlight in Summer, are exposed to it all
Winter, when deciduous trees are bare of
leaves. No doubtthis extra light in Win-
ter is a benefit to the evergreens, strength-
ening the leaves and preparing the plants
to stand their exclusion from sunlight in
Summer. ' It is probable that were they
in the shade and excluded from much air
the whole season through, they would
hardly be the thrifty-looking specimens
met with to-day.

Alton, 111. — J. Sherman Brown, a
well-known horticulturist, died here
April 1 after seven weeks' illness with
pneumonia, aged 46. He had been ill
with pneumonia and was convalescent,
when a lire broke out in the hot-beds at
his place and de.stroyed them, with a
large peach orchard nearb.y. Mr. Brown
exposed himself during the fire and suf-
fered a relapse. He leaves a widow and
four children.
Puddling Roots of Trees. — The prac-
tice of puddling roots of trees before
packing them for shipment is well worthy
the attention of all nurserymen who have
not yet adopted it. In many establish-
ments the puddling is deemed as neces-
sary as damp material for packing among
the roots, the conclusion being the result
of the experience ofmany years.
A large water-tight box is set into a
hole dug for it, deep enough that the sides
of the box are on a;ievel with the ground.
This box is half filled with some stiff soil;
if partly clay, so much the better. Then
water enough is poured in to render the
soil into a thin mush, .^s the bundles of
trees arebrought in to be boxed or baled,
the roots are dipped into this mixture.
The utility of this practice undoubtedly
comes from the incasing of the surface of
all the roots in a something which excludes
air and at the same time preserves mois-
ture.
Trees and shrubs so treated are far bet-
ter prepared to stand a journey in a box
for several weeks than those not puddled.
So much better pleased are customers
with trees so treated, because of their
success with them, that it pays the nurs-
eryman many times overtotake the time
to so prepare the trees.
Japanese Snowball for Easter. —
The Japanese snowball is now well
known to most all florists, as its period
of flowering is toward the close of May,
at which time it is much called for to
meet the demands of Grand Army posts
for Memorial Day. This snowball, Al-
burnum plicatum, is vastly the superior
of the old species, V. opulus sterilis; in
habit of growth, foliage and beauty of
flowers it clearly leads it.
For some years past the flowers have
been met with at Easter from plants
forced. The present Easter saw one of
our local florists in possession of quite a
few nice plants which he had timed for
the occasion, and as the plants can be
bought at a low figure, doubtless the
effort will pay very well.
There should be but little difficulty in
timing such plants to bring them into
flower at the right time. Outdoors it
requires six weeks from the time the
buds bear evidence of pushing forth till
the flowers are in perfection. It is,
therefore, probable the florist spoken of
started his plants about the last week in
Februai'y. This shrub produces its
flowers on tbe shoots made the previous
season; therefore a pruning immedia.tel.v
after flowering, to promote the growth
of young shoots, is desirable.
"The present Easter witnesses an in-
creased call for [ilants, as was anticipat-
ed, and floiists should think of what a
lot of sill 111 IS there are, as well as herba-
ceous ijl.ints, which could be used to ad-
vantage. Herbaceous plants could be
grown in the field all Summer and
brought indoors before AVinter came.
Many hardy shrubs could be grown in
the same way; but in this case care would
be required to lift and pot them without
damaging the roots, or they would not
flower to such perfection as they should
do. They flower best when grown in
pots or tubs a season, because the roots
are then undisturbed. A great deal of
Summer care may be avoided by plung-
ing the pot or tub below the surface of
the ground all Summer.
To Distribute Yoting Trees. — The ex-
tract relating to the distribution of
young trees by Secretary AA'ilson, of the
United States Department of Agriculture,
which was noticed in the last issue (page
386) of this paper, is of more than pass-
ing interest, particularly to the nursery-
men of the countiy.
To most every one the thought will
arise, what has the Government to do
with distributing trees, seeds or other
articles of commerce? And this thought
is In the main correct. But putting this
feature aside, my own opinion is that
such distribution will do no injury to the :
nurserj' trade, rather the reverse, and
that it will be a beneflt to many of those
who receive the trees. The distribution
of these trees will place in the hands of
many something which they never would
have purchased; it will show them what
kinds of trees are suited to their locality ;
it will interest them in something whicli
they would have known nothing about,
and in the end these recipients of trees
will become good customers of the nurs-
erymen— a something which never would
have happened otherwise. That this is
no fancy picture is proved by the work
of the tree agent. The agent visits farm-
ers and country folk, as well as tbe rich
merchant, and prevails on them to buy
trees. The greater number would never
have had trees in any other way. With
the little experience with the agent,
whether it be good or bad, there is awak-
ened an interest in trees ; and in the end
the nearest nursery gets a new customer.
Several of the largest nursery firms in the
country do not employ agents, and in
their vicinity agents from other flrms are
busy, yet these flrms invariably say that
they have no objection whatever to the
agents — in fact, look on their presence fa-
vorably. This work approaches that
accomplished by horticultural and fruit
growers' societies, viz., the education of
the people in matters relating to trees,
showing them what they are and giving
them the opportunity of deciding intelli-
gently what kinds are adapted to their
needs.
The decision of iSecretary Wilson is more
in keeping with the original design of the
promoters of the Department, and from
what is known of the proposed work
now, there appears no reason whatever
to raise any objection to it if kept within
its proper limits.
Some Desirable ETergreens. — ^Under
the above heading, in a recent issue,
George H. Budke calls my attention to
some desirable evergreens, which he
names, and in connection therewith says:
"If Mr. Meehau T\-ill glance over my list I
think he will flndsome or all of the plants
I have named worthy of a more extended
mention in your pages." I have done
more than glance over his list. I have
read it carefully, and have pleasure in
joining with him in praising every one he
names. It is a flrst-class list of beautiful
evergreens. But my good friend must
give me a little time in which to take up
the mentioning of various trees and
shrubs, as the list is such a large one.
Two of those he names are mentioned
in my notes on "Golden and Bronzed
Leaved Evergreens," which appeared in
the issue of March 25. Later on the
golden pine will be mentioned in a special
note, being one of the series of plates now
in preparation for publication.
AVhile admiring greatly the golden form
of Retinospora fllifera, whfch, as Mr.
Budke says, presents the appearance of
a living fountain of gold, on account of
the drooping character of its finely com- '
pressed branches of fohage, I must admit
that the green, typical form never pleases
me, and only because of one thing, which
is that its tint of green is always of a
brownish cast. It is never of a pleasing
green, such, for instance, as the Lawson
cypress and the Thuja gigantea present.
But it is so unique in character that it
will be called for always in general col-
lections of evergreens.
There are some varieties of both ever-
green and deciduous trees the colors of
which are not pretty; but this is notthe
case with any in Mr. Budke's hst. I do
not think Finns excelsa variegata as
pretty as the normal form. The white
parts of the leaves give one the idea that
the plant has a bad attack of some scale
insect, and some shades of gold on golden-
leaved plants give the impression of sick-
ness. Joseph Meeban.

MOTES BY THE WBY.
Danville, III. — Considerable prog-
ress has been made in planting the
grounds surrounding the new Soldiers'
Home buildings. John Williams, the
superintendent, in addition to being one
of the most prominent Horist.s in town,
is also a thorough landscape gardener,
and intends making this place one of the
attractions of the West. While well
po.sted on arboriculture, he says he has
derived much instruction from the arti-
cles written in The ExcHANGKby that able
arboriculturist, .Joseph Meehan. and is
convinced that there are very many ot hers
holding positions similar to himself who
benefit by the nursery column in the p.t-
per. The colored supplements also came
in for flattering comment.
iNniANAPOLiP, IND. — Anthouy Wiegand
has returned from Cuba and his son
George from New York, both full of new
ideas which cannot but be of benefit to
their business. Mr. Wiegand thought he
could grow crotons initil he saw those
magnificent specimens in Matanzas, the
height of shade trees and of gorgeous
colors seen onl.v in the tropics. He has
options on some land where he believes
the all-impoi^ant question of raising
healthy lilies will be solved, and it re-
mains for a settled condition of things so
that a clear title ma.y be obtained, when
doubtless this industry will be started.
The firm had a fine batch of lilies for
Easter, together with an abundance of
other stock, but are convinced to be suc-
cessful a house must be entirely devoted
to their culture.
Henry Riemau has the finest batch of
L. Harrisii he ever grew, and just missed
It by a few days, thanks to old Sol. A
house of Kaiserin Augusta Victoria was
the finest in this section. He has one or
two seedling carnations that will give
the larger raisers a pretty close run for
honors.
Bertermann Bros, had a fine display of
Easter stock, and expected to clear com-
pletely out during Easter week.
Lafayette, Ind. — It matters little at
what season of the year one pays Carna-
tionville a visit, there is always some-
thing of interest to be seen. This time it
was a house of the lovely Lorua, which
at first sight appeared as though the
blooms were being kept for I'^aster; but
Mr. Dorncr assured nie tlieusual ni(_iriiing
picking hail t.nken place, and tliose left
were but partially open. This is indeed
a beautiful variety, and when better
known will become as popular as Morn-
ing Glory, which really is only now be-
coming generally known and the demand
cannot be supplied. 1 noted one-halt the
bench of Lorua was growing in the bot-
tomless pot. This is an experiment and
answers most satisfactorily. The plants
are lifted with all the soil possible, placed
in the pots and stood upon the bench,
which c<jntai!is a heavier soil, but kept
rather do', the pots only being watered
for some time. I'his avoiils all danger of
rust. Later on the beds receive atten-
tion and the pots less. Up to about
•January 1 a marked difference is seen in
favor of the pot, but after that time the
plants, both in and out of the pots, are
in the same stage. It also avoids the
danger of plantingtoo deep, which is one
cause of rot. Of the immense number of
seedlings of 1899, not one was considered
worth saving; but the product of 1900
is the best yet raised ami fidl of promise.
From the selection of 1898 there is a bril-
liant scarlet, bold and free, much freer
than G. H. Crane, which does remarka-
bly well here; a grand white; also a pink
of a shade darker than Daybreak and
claimed to be the perfect pink shade.
These three are considered the gems of
the collection and will probably make
their bow to the public next year. The
new yellow Mrs. Whitney is highly prom-
ising; a seedling. Flora Hill X Mrs.
George M. Bradt, is a fine white and the
earliest bloomer on the place.
Peru, Ind.— F. B. Tinker hopes his
many friends will not discard I'eru until
they have given it anothertrial, believing
that it "will do better with them another
season. He hardly expects it to become
as popular as The Mar<iuis, wliich is the
first carnation to bring $1 per dozen
right through the season in this town.
The cuttings were received late, but were
planted in the bench from pots and
grown inside all Summer, coming in fairly
early and outstripping all others in value.

Easter Report.
The volume of business ilone tlii.^
viwr eclipsed anything that has gone lie-
■(, lie Kevievving my notes of a few weeks
a,.' 1 1 relative to the Easter outlook, the
pre.iirti.ius thennuule were not far amiss,
aiiil altliough the weather was not all
tluit coulil he desired, trade wa.s mo.st
satisfactory and fully up to the exiiecta-
tioas of the most s.-in.uuiue. Never l)efore
were suc-li i|uantitiesot stock urownliere-
about for Ivister. Storeke..pei-s for I wo
weeks past have lieen buying freely, and
the best stock of many of the growers
was disposed of at good rotind tigures;
the growers feeling confident tliat their
stock would be wanted, helil to tirm
prices and got them. The retailers kno«--
in"- a certain demand fixed their prices
accordingly, and while good values ob-
tained we cannot say that prices were
any better in general than those reached
last year.
The weather for the week was disa-
greeable: cloudy, and with consideralde
rain, but not so cold as to prevent the
handling of plants without difiicvilty . Sat-
urday a steady drizzling rain fell all day,
and had a depressing effect on the busi-
ness, both at the stores and market
houses. Sundav the weather was cloudy,
but without storms, and delivery of
orders was not hindered at all on this
account.
The Best-Selling Plants.
Crimson Rambler roses and azaleas
■were most sought after, and very few of
either were left on hand. Hydrangeas
sold well, but the greater demand was
for moderate priced plants, especially at
the markets: and the stores report a bet-
ter sale for high-colored blooms than for
the white shades in these. Lilies sold
unusually well, but were not plentiful
and offerings were entirely cleaned up.
Hulbous stock was in good demand, and
brought good round figures, but there
was a considerable quantity of these
Howers left on hand. Hyacinths in pots
found rapid sale; tulips as well; double
daffodils were overdone, and immense
quantities were carried over. Hybrid
roses were offered in abundance, and the
manner iu which these plants moved
proved conclusively that as long as other
choice stock was available they were lit-
tle wanted. Genistas had to take a back
seat; there was little if any demand for
them, no matter the price asked. Metro-
sideros, anotlierplant that has held some
little promiui-iicc- iu I'.aster stocks in sea-
sons past, proved a poor seller; and while
but limited (luantitics were grown, tbere
was an abuiidauce of them— enough to
supply the deniand and some to spare.
Spii-Eea invariably sells well; the low
prices at which choice plants are offered
are usually conducive to heavy sales, but
this season seems to be an exception.
Even the best plants moved slowly and
prices asked were very reasonable. Of
course, large numbers were disposed of,
but from the quantity left on hand we
draw the conclusion that a much smaller
number will be grown another year.
Window Displays,
The winilow displays were numer-
ous and very attractive, and gave evi-
dence of a special effort of the designer in
evei-y instance. The Gasser Co.'s low-er
store window was one of the most at-
tractive, the principal feature of which
was a "Rock of Ages" design, executed
by Mr. Bradbury. An inimense cross was
made of white ('ape Howers, with a base
of stones. Clinging to the cross was a
female figure, holding in her arms an im-
mense bunch of Easter lilies, the whole
design being set in a deep frame, the front
of which was green moss, the sides and
background of lavender bunting. Egg-
shells, as violet cups, were used in profu-
sion.
In Smith & Fetters' window a large
cross of silver bronze galax leaves, sur-
rounded by well-arranged baskets of vio-
lets and other choice Howers, made their
display as attractive as any seen.
C. M. Wagner, Erie Street, had a huge
cross of green galax leaves, studded with
L. Harrisii blooms, set against a bank of
palms and cut flowers.
RetaU Prices.
Cut flowers sold well, and the fid-
lowing prices obtained: Roses $1 and
$1..10 per dozen for short-stem stock, $2
and SS forextra, American Beauty $."> tor
short stems, $10 and $12 per dozen for
best. Carnations averaged 75c. and $1
forordinary; forextras $1..^0was asked.
Poorer grades did not bring over .50c.
and <;0c. per dozen. Violets went at
$l..''iO and $2; lily of the valley, $1 per
ioo; iiiigiionette,'$l and ^L.^O; tulips,
75c. per dozen.
Wholesale Rates.
Roses, $5 and f8 for No. 2 grade:
best stock.SlO and S12: American Beau-
ty,$1 and$2 jierdozen for short-stemmed
stock and $3 to $5 for long-stemmed
flowers. Lilies held Arm at 15c. per
bloom; lily of the valley, $3 per 100; vio-
lets, $1 per 100. Bulb stock was abun-
dant and found slow sale at ^2 and f3
per 100.
Pot Plants.
The following rates are the aver-
age prices that were obtained for pot
plants, viz. : Crimson Rambler roses, $1
to f3 each; hydrangeas, 50c. and $1 for
small plants, $2 to $3 for large ones;
spiraea, 50c. and 75e.; hybrid roses, 7oc.
to $1.50 each: hyacinths in pots moved
well at 15c. to 25c. each. For azaleas
$1.25 was the lowest mark reached, and
extra plants brought from $2 to $5, ac-
cording to size; lilies, $1, $1.50 and $2.
The Sheriff Street Market Display.
As in former seasons, the manage-
ment offered cash prizes for the best
arranm'il di.s|)laysof Howers in the Sheriff
Street Mark.'t, and many of the growers
who liave stalls there entered the compe-
tition. .S(une notable exliiliifs resulted,
and as the annual S])riiig llower sliow at
this market is always well advertised, it
brought many thousands of people to it
despite the inclemency of the weather.
Good music was a feature of the occasion,
and was, of course, fully enjoyed by all
who attended. G. M. Nauman captured
the first jirize with a magniflcent display
of choii'e plants. arranged in the form of a
pyramid 1.'. lect higli. Fred Burger took
second prize, and i '.isiM'r .\ul was awarded
third. Other disiilays worthy of mention
were those of A. Sclmiitt, L. litzinger, R.
Gamble, and S. N. Pentecost. G. .\. T.

Kchoes of Easter.
In a sort of reminiscent way, the
past Easter is still town talk. In the
main it was up to expectations and quite
satisfactory. A leading condition of
pleasing character was the comparative
liberality of buyers, so fair prices were
readily obtained. The weather averaged
harilly good, but with misty conditions
alteriiating with some fair streaks and
a temperature that continued above
freezing, it lielped fairly.
The sales of plants seemed to lie given
the best or strongest <'lf(U-ts of the retail-
ers, and were a good bit aliead of otiicr
years.
Lilies Harrisii ami Japan longifloruni,
the latter predominating, were short of
the demand, and so sold out. The supply
seemed smaller than common, however.
A fair number was shipped in by the
Ijakeview Rose Garden of .Tamestown,
N. Y., and Palmer it Son's Lancaster
place contributed several special lots. A
general price tliat tlie consumer paid for
plants was 2.'. cents ])er bloom or bud;
in some cases a price.Ia_bit higher _was
realized.
Azaleas stood out prominent, some
credit, no doubt, being due the foreign
growers, or the conditions that assisted
the production of such good stock for
this year. The supply about fitted the
demand nicely, 10 to 12 inch head jjlants
going at $l"50 to $2; the next larger,
and the most popular all-around size,
bringing $2.50 to $3.50. Larger plants
were sold somewhat, but in small num-
bers.
Crimson Rambler roses, to our mind,
will scarcely attain a general popularity
as an Easter feature. The prices now
obtained are, however, out of proportion
to the cost of the plants, compared with
other stocks. Perhaps lower prices will
change conditions, though if a ilwarfing
process could be brought about, so a
more compact massing of a similar quan-
tity of clusters of bloom as now spreads
over the large foliage set canes was se-
cured, such, no doubt, would be an ad-
vancing step. The plants were generally
sold atr $3 up, some growers expecting
this sum for plants of but t)rdiiiary char-
acter.
Growing bulbous stock in pans and
boxes was much less in evidence than in
some past ycvirs, and did not seem to be
misseil at all sadly.
The miu'e fancy lines, such as heaths,
rhododendrons, lilacs, metrosideros,
acacias and the like, were also less nu-
merous. Some well-grown bougainvilleas
in 6-inch pots, from out-of-town points,
we understood, went but fairly. This
flower is too somber of color to meet the
popular eye.
The supply of cut flowers was good, as
were the sales, enough generally to sup-
ply the demand nicely, and about all
so'id. Some narcissus Von Sion failed to
linil outlets of demand, and a few Roman
hyacinths were left over. 'Violets were in
large (luantity, but all sold.
The following is a summarized aver.age
of run of prices at retail gotten at the lead-
ing Main Street stores on Saturday and
Sunday: .\merican Beauty roses, $<> and
$12 per <lozen, with $18 mentioned for a-
few. Bridesmaiil and Bride, $3 to $4 per
dozen; Meleoi-, !;2.."i0 to $3 per dozen;
carnations, gooil grades, $1 to $1.50 per
dozen, with fancies reaching $2; violets,
$2 to $3 per lOO; Liliums Harrisii aud
longiflorum, cut blooms, $1 per dozen.
Good lily of the valley brought $1 per
dozen; daffodils and tulips ranging from
75c. to $1.
Some funeral work was called for on
Sunday, otherwise trade this week is but
normal.
The News.
.T. F. Cowell, director of the South
Park Botanic Gardens, has returned from
his specimen collecting trip in the West
Indies. The local press has it that he
returned loaded with botanical varieties.
.T. H. Kendle, of Tonawanda, was a
caller on Monday. He reports a satisfac-
tory Easter business and generally
growing conditions in that locality, a
(luestion being, however, of an increase
of business sufhcient to encourage the
many new aspirants, each of wht>m
wants a share.
In spite of considerable wet weather,
outiloor work in finishing up of the
grouiKls at the Pau-.Vmerican progresses,
and will generally have the needed gala
look on opening day. May 1, which has
been officially decided on locally as a civic
holiday. ViDI.

Easter Trade.
"The spirit of Easter was much
dampened;" so said many. The rain
poured all day Saturday until 5 p. m.,
when it abated somewhat, after which
purchasers flocked to the stores and mar-
ket to buy a few flowers for Easter. The
market was demoralized; prices sank
lower and lower; but as the night be-
came clearer the market men stiffened
their figures very! much, and in conse-
quence were enabled to make good some
of the morning's deficiency.
Never in the history of the trade here
was there such a demand for violets:
everybody wanted this flower. In the
early part of the afternoon the supply in
the market was exhausted, and violet
buyers were turned away.
Carnation and roses, from a cut-flower
standpoint, came next in importance.
They were scarce and were soon disposed
of. Bulbous stock, with the exception of
lily of the valley, went slow. Single daf-
fodils from \'irginia came in competition
with northern-grown flowers, making
the growing of this class of stock unprof-
itable.
Every attempt was put forth by the
dealers and growers to niakc this a. plant
Easter, and every dealer vieil with the
other in making iiisstoreilisplay attract-
ive witli blooming plants, tempting the
would-lie buyer to purchase these in pref-
erence to cut Howers. How ^\'ell they
succeeded they alone know. Gorgeous
maile-up baskets with ribbon and gauze
brought out the artistic talent of the dif-
ferent store men; $5 to $35, and even $50
baskets were displayed by some to show
the possibilities of made-up gifts for Eas-
ter-tide. Window boxes, with birch bark
trimming, were shown for the benefit of
those who had imly moderate funds to
invest. Cr^pe paper covers have almost
disappeared, much to the pleasure of the
dealer. What we need is an artistic pot
covering that costs little and can be
easily adjusted on the pot.
Azaleas sold well, the larger sizes lag-
fiug somewhat; but smaller ones for
1.50 went first.
Hyacinths showed up well, and sold
better than was anticipated.
'Violets in pots were a little passf and
did not make the effect they should have
made.
.\s a whole, Easter trade was slightly
better than last year's, but not a decided
increase. The bad weather had some in-
fluence on business.
Much delay was caused by growers
bringing in their stock late.

Easter Report.
Another Easter with its worry and
hurry has passed, and, taken altogether,
the florists have no complaint to make.
The weather was very variable — cloudy
and cold on Tuesday and Wednesday,
with clear fine weather on Thursday and
Friday; only to set in with rain and cold
on Saturda.v, that caused a great many
purchasers to order by telephone, instead
of visiting the stores, thus reducing pur-
chases, besides making the cash sales
smaller, for all telephone orders are
charged. In plants, lilies took the lead,
but stock was none too plentiful. All
the retailers report plant sales as satis-
factory, with many more sales of bulb-
ous stock in pans than formerly.
B. Schroeter did a very fine decoration
for the leading dry goods firm, Newcomb
it Eudicott, decorating 5(j columns, us-
ing wild sniilax and 5,000 artificial morn-
ing glories, -tS large baskets, together
with over 400 plants of lilies, azaleas,
etc. This firm always makes an elabo-
rate decoration at Christmas and Easter.
Several of the growers failed to get
their lilies in for Easter. Among others
Raekham, of course, was in the front
with the largest number to be disposed
of after, instead of before, Easter; but
such is lite. However, he Intends to be
in it next year, for he has already started
the building of a new house that will
stand the temperature from 90 degrees
to 120 degrees, and has ordered nothing
but sound buUis, so there is hope. From
all reports this Easter was a trifle better
than last, both as regards prices and the
quantity of stock sold. RiG.

(114) Vine for a Veranda. — If a ppi-
ninnent vine is wante<l, clematis will be
about the best. If an annual plant only
is ni'edcil tlierc are several that can be
iiseil, I'obiea scnndeiis and tall nastur-
tiums bein^;' anionn the best.
(11.^) Cannas, Nasturtiums and
ZinniasasCut Flowers. — Of thefloweis
mentioned onlythe zinniaecan be utilized
as cut flowers. Any of the tall-gfowins-
mixtures soUl by the seedsmen will be
found suitable.
(116) Topping Carnations. — When
topping carnations, how many breaks
would you recommend leaving: on the
plant ? Is it best to top them before or
after the.y break? — Subscriber.
— Leave four or five pairs of leaves, ac-
cording; to the condition of the plant.
If topping isleft till theplants break them-
selves, it will be found that many will
get tall and spindl.v before the pinching
can be done; so pinch them out before
they get spindly.
(117) Pepper Plants for Chrisf-
mas. — What kind of pepper is used to sell
as a pot plant at Christmas time, when
in fruit? On what date should the seed be
so Yn to have the plants come in right?
Are they grown outside in pots or are
they liftedand potted in the Fall?— Sob-
8CRIBER.
— The name and treatment of this plant
will be found on page 316, issue of The
Florists' Exch.vnge March 23, under the
heading of Briefs for Busy Florists.
(118) Gmbsand Beetles Attacking
Asters. — Will some one give a sure reme-
dy to kill grubs ( or whatever it may be )
that attack aster plants? Also to kill the
black beetle that eats the flowers? — H.
A.J.
— As aremedy for the grubs that attack
the roots of the asters, the best thing to
do is to dig into the soil a good dressing
of lime previous to planting. After the
plants are put out give an occasional syi--
inging with some of the toban-o insecti-
cides to keep the beetle away if possilile,
as there is no cure for him after he once
gets possession.
T(119) Carnaton Cuttings. — We send
you some carnation cuttings and "n'ould
like to ask your opinion as to the way in
which they are taken. Is it a good plan,
and will they root as well as those with-
out the branch left on ? — Subsckiber.
— Your method of making carnation
cuttings is wrong; the cuttings so made
would take a long time to root, if they
rooted at all. Take the cuttings from the
Ijlants by a gentle pull downward, then
make the cuttings the same as is <lone
with any other soft-wooded plant, by
cutting back close to the first joint and
removing a few of the lower leaves if
they are too plentiful at the base. Shoukl
the cuttings be taken from the flowering
stems of the plant (and these are the
best) no trimming of the leaves will be
necessary; just shorten back the cuttings

(120) Blighted Geranium.— We send
you a plant of geranium which is dis-
eased. We had about 100 plants last
year similarly affected. They grew to
be quite large, but never bloomed, and
the leaves were blighted , like those of the
plant sent. Can you tell us the cause and
remedy, if there is one? — A. A. & Co.
— The geranium has no disease upon it.
The trouble complained of is the result of
poor selection in taking the cuttings.
Geraniums occasionally show this habit
of growth, and cuttings should never be
taken from such plants. We think it likely
that stock has been propagated from the
plants showing the deformity last year,
hence the result thlstime. Take cuttings
only from strong fiowering plants, and
the strain of such geraniums as that sent
for examination will die out.
(121) Fumigating With Rose Leaf
Extract. — I would like to ask what
method of heating the irons can be used,
when the fire in the boiler is out, in fumi-
gating with hot iron and rose leaf ex-
tract, .ilso if the so-called barrel method
of turning live steam on to the rose leaf
in a small barrel is efficacious in clearing
the house of aphis. — C.
— To heat the irons when there is no
fire in the boiler, it will be necessary to
start a fire in some other place. The sim-
plest plan would be to rig up an old stcjve
in the shed and make a fire therein ■\\'hen-
evcr the hot irons are to be used. Vapor-
izing the tobacco extract by means of
turning live steam into it can only be
d()ne when the boilers are working. When
the steam is not olitainaltle, the tobacco
extract can be vaporized cheaply by put-
ting the extract into a tin or iron vessel
fitted on the top of a small oil stove.
The flame from the oil stove will provide
all the heat needed to create a vapor
from the liquid.
(122) Rearing. — Herewith is a plan
of ho^v I think of enlarging and improv-
ing a greenhouse the coming Summer. I
would like an estimate of the quantity of
pipe necessary for each house, also en-
be set below the greenhouse, or the top
about level with the greenhouse floor. —
A. B. C.
— It will not be advisable to use a flue,
as the slight saving in expense of con-
struction will be more than counterbal-
anced by the increased danger from Are
and the poor draft that will be secure<l.
House No. 1 is 30 by 16 feet, with the
boiler at one end; while house No. 2,
Avhich is 20 by 13 feet, runs off frtmi the
farther end. forming an ell. .\ 2V'i-inch
main will siip])ly heat for both Inaises.
It should run overhead in house No. 1
until o])posite the middle of house No. 2.
It should then turn and pa.ss under the
ridge to the farther end of house No. 2,
where it should branch and feed coils under
the side benches. Each of these cfiils
should contain five 2-incli jiipes and
should follow around under the side
benches in house No. 1 to the end nearest
the boiler, when each should connect
with it by means of 2-inch pipes. From
the end of the 21/2-inch main a lV4-inch
pipe should lead into the office, and feed
wall coils which should contain about
150 feet of 1-inch pipe. The expansion
tank may be connected at any point de-
sired. The boiler should contain about
three square feet of grate surface, and if
made up of 2i/.-inch pipes, about 60 linear
feet or 4."> sqviare feet will be needed. — L.

trance. At the north end of house No. 1
^'ill be the furnace room, potting shed,
etc., extending 14 feet across the end
from west side. The flue can be placed
anywhere at the end. I was thinking of
using the flue along the west side of
house No. 1, making a boiler of 2iA-inch
pipe for the furnace, and doing the rest
of the heating by hot water. For house
No. 1 and office I have about 400 feet of
1-inch pipe I wish to use; the balance
will be either 2 or 2V^ inch ^vrought iron
pipe. There may be 12 inches of glass
under the plate on the south sideof house
No. 1 and east side of house No. 2. Back
walls of both houses are 4 feet; the other
two are three feet now. The entrance is
all wood, except on east and south sides
under plate for 3 feet. What is the best
plan of iirranging the ijii)es? I would like
expansi(jn taiilc ;il far enil of house No. 1,
or as far from furnace as possible.
Can you give me estimate fnun this
information with clear exposition how
to place the pipes? In house No. 1 a
temjierature of .55 degrees nights will be
maintained; thehouse will be devoted to
violets, carnations, primulas, etc. In
house No. 2 a night temperature of 65
degrees Avill be kept for ferns, palms, co-
lons, gei'aninins, etc.
What capacity boiler will be required,
providing tine is not built? We have 12
and 1.5 degrees below zero very of-
ten. What capacity boiler, if one is made
of Va-inch pipe for furnace? Center of
house No. 1 will be devoted to smilax
and asparagus, in beds, not bench.
I wish to put a propagating bed over
the furnace in a room oft one corner of the
potting shed. Can this be done? There
is plenty of head room. The furnace will
The Recent Rose Show.
Before the Philadelphia Florists' Club,
on Tuesday last, John N. May read a paper
telling of the results of the recent rose
show held in New York City. Mr. May re-
gretted that a larger display of old-fash-
ioned roses was not made, also that " the
most glorious golden beauty, Marechal
Niel," had practically dropped out of culti-
vation. He characterized the e.^hibition
as a success artistically, it not financially,
and stated he had come to the conclusion
that a flower show alone, without other
and more exciting attractions, cannot be
made to pay where a big rent must be dis-
bursed for halls or rooms in which to hold
the exhibition, such as is the case in New
York. Mr. May went over the subjects in
detail, pointing out the important features
of each. "There was one exhibit which
received an unlimited amount ot criti-
cism from all classes of visitors. This was
an ordinary iron bedstead made up to
represent a bed ot roses. Many of the
critics thought it was a Bowery produc-
tion ! Certainly it was out ot place where
it was shown."
Pointing out some of the lessons learned
from the e.xhibition, he said :
"The main thing now for all interested
to consider is a liberal guarantee fund be-
fore entering upon another undertaking of
a similar nature. This is the most essen-
tial part ot the whole program. That the
material and labor to produce a grand
show will always be forthcoming goes
without question, when reasonable assur-
ance is given that fair compensation awaits
the successful competitors; but no prac-
tical business man can expect any body ot
men to assume the labor, care and expense
ot making a fine exhibition, and then in
addition shoulder the burden ot a deficit,
which it seems quite reasonable to expect
as the final outcome ot any flower show, at
least in New York City.
"The one thing this show has empha
sized is that the most elaborate halls are
not the most desirable places to hold a suc-
cessful show, as the contingent liabilities
are much too great a burden. Further-
more, the public who goes to a show to see
the flowers care nothing for lace curtains,
elaborate fresco paintings, etc., etc. What
they want to see is superb flowers and
plants artistically arranged, correctly and
legibly named; yes, and ihe prize winners
duly announced with an appropriate card
fully inscribed with the exhibitor's name
and address in clear, distinct form. The
exhibition hall should necessarily be of
easy access, clean and in a respectable
neighborhood, have plenty ot light to en-
able visitors to see the distinctive qualities
and coloring ot every flower. All decora-
tions in and about the exhibition hall har-
monize much bet er with plants and flow-
ers » hen made exclusively ot green foliage,
natural flowers, mosses, etc., etc., and
lastly, ample room should he allowed tor
visitors to see everything without crowd-
ing themselves or being compelled to crush
the flowers by constantly rubbing against
them, and no show should be a repetition
of what has gone before ; each and every
succeeding show should have at least some
new and distinctive feature of arrange-
ment.
" Finally set a time that the staging of
everything must be completed, and ad-
here to that time to the letter, giving every
exhibitor equal rights and privileges and
the judges ample time to examine every
exhibit and make their awards; append the
same to the winners, and admit the public
on time."
Pougfhkeepsie, N. Y.
The regular meeting ot the Dutchess
County Horticultural Society was held at
the residence ot Mr. C. J. Reynolds,
Poughkeepsie, April 3. There was a
goodly number present and a very inter-
esting meeting was held. Mr. Reynolds
is an enthusiastic amateur gardener, and
takes great pleasure in showing his plants
to those who are interested. At this time
he had a large batch ot well-grown cine-
rarias, which would be a credit to any
professional gardener. His calceolarias,
carnations and scores ot other plants were
ve'y satisfactory and showed the careful
attention ot a lover of plants and flowers.
Eighteen new members were nominated
and elected at this meeting, 15 ot whom
were nominated by Lyman B own, the
member who nominated 50 at the meeting
previous.
The exhibition dates were fixed tor No-
vember 6, 7, 8. The Exhibition Committee
submitted the schedule for the Autumn
exhibition, which was adopted. Several
new features in premiums were added
to those ot last year. The violet prizes are
S15 tor one buiich ot 100 double violets ;
$10 tor two bunches ot .50 each ; 15 for one
bunch of 50 double violets; $25 and $10 is
offered for a group of chrysanthemums to
occupy not less than 50 nor more than 100
square teet ot floor space; foliage plants
may be used in the arrangement, the form
and manner ot which is left with the ex
hibitor. The same value in prizes and
same conditions apply to a group of orna-
mental plants. A *50 prize is offered
under similar conditions for a group of
ornamental and flowering plants, in which
orchi'is may be included and any auxiliary
used to give any effect required.
There will be no blooms on boards this
year. The 24 and 12 distinct varieties ot
chrysanthemums will be shown with li-
inch stems in glass vases. Fifty dollars
is offered tor si.x varieties, si.x ot each, and
$30 tor four varieties, six of each ; $25 for
four varieties ot roses, \i ot each ; and $10
each for 50 pink, red and variegated carna-
tions. So much time was taken up dis-
cussing the schedule that I. L Powell's
paper on carnations was not read. A very
handsome buncjh of violets «as exhibited

A Correction.
John Brod, Niles Center and Chicago,
111., writes to Inform us that the statement
in our issue of April 6 to the effect that
after the first of May he was to close up
his two retail stores and sell at wholesale
only is entirely without foundation ; that
he has made no such statement to any one
and has had no such idea in mind.
For a limited time the publishers are
offering tour new trade subscriptions,
one year, and club getter's renewal, one
year, all five for$3.75. This is an induce-
ment made mainly on behalf of employees,
and we trust to seethem profit by it. It
would be to employers' benefit to pay
for a certain number of copies for their
most deserving men. The "Inland
Printer," the representative journal of
the printing industry, has 10 subscribers
in this office, and we recognize the fact
that the study of that paper by these 10
men does much to enhance their general
Intelligence, the understanding of their
trade, and their value as employees.
Easter, 1901.
The reports presented in this issue, cov-
ering a wide territory, indicate that the
Easter business this year, despite the in-
clement weather, was, for the most part,
ahead of last year's. Boston, New York
and one or two other large centers an-
nounce a falling away in the volume of
trade done — due solely to unfavorable
weather conditions. The stock, generally,
was in plentiful supply and of good qual-
ity, with a reported scarcity of carnations
and lilies in some cases. The latter, how-
ever, showed up in larger quantities than
was at first anticipated and la a condition
better than expected. Plants were in
greatest demand all over the country No
novelties of any note were offered, and it
is observed that Crimson Rambler roses
have not, in some places, been as popular
as in other years.
The cut-flower business has also beea
satisfactory, and seems to be regaining
somewhat the status at this holiday it has
lost. Instances of salting stock are re-
corded. This custom, more, perhaps, than
exorbitant prices, will tend to keep the
sale of cut flowers subordinate to that of
plauts, and should, for the welfare of all
concerned, be abolished.
Taken altogether a satisfactory Eister
trade has resulted, and isolated cases of 35
and 50 per cent, increases over that of last
year should make those so favored, at
least, happy and contented.
Ne.xt year Easter falls on March 30,
which means additional worry and careful
calculation on the part of the grower. May
all success attend his efforts.
The Bermuda Lily.
Probably never before has the Bermuda
lily received so much attention at the
hands of the lay press as it has done the
past Easter. Column alter column has
been given up to its history, its merits
and demerits, and all dealing more or
less with the impaired condition of the
bulbs and the "scarcity" of blooms con-
sequent thereon. Among the numerous
contributions is one from the pen of
George A . Bishop, superintendent ot the
Botanical Gardens, Bermuda, appearing
in the Philadelphia Press. Mr. Bishop
gives a complete account of the lily-
growing industry in the island from its
inception up to the present time, and
the methods ot cultivation pursued. He
blames the "greed" of the Bermuda
farmer for much ot the trouble that has
fallen to the lot of the bulbs, and con-
tinues ;
"The point at issue is. Can Bermuda
save its tailing industry and regain its
supremacy as the great source of lily
supply ?
"What is thereal trouble, what is being
done to remedy it and what are the
chances of success?
"As has been briefly mentioned, one
leading cause of trouble has been the
failure to give the soil the rest it needs.
There are hundreds of acres in this over-
worked condition, and under proper
treatment they could be restored to pro-
ductiveness.
" Further, the early harvesting ot the
bulbs, cutting the blooms with a large
portion of the stem attached, the selling
of so many ot the good and healthy
tjulbs, and the planting ot the remaining
poor bulbs and the stock trash has
brought about reduced vitality and dis-
eases, both animal and vegetable.
" Until the last two years no attempt
has been made to study the chemical
properties ot the soil and to ascertain
the proportion ot the various chemical
properties necessary to plant life. My
own examination established the pres-
ence of too much iron in some soils, in
others ot too little, the lack ot soluble
lime and the presence ot too much chlo-
rine; excessive rain and drought, the
lack ot efficacious system of irrigation
and drainage and the presence ot the
euchaiis mite had further complicated
matters.
"The lily bulbs were found to be af-
fected with tusarlum, pithium and
macroeporium and the tops subject to
Ward's disease. I went thoroughly into
the question of the preparation ot the
soil, the selection and preparation of
good stock, rotation of crops, care, use
and preparation of farm yard manures,
artificial manures, spraying, immersion
ot affected bulbs and insect pests.
The work ot reclaiming the lily fields
has progressed in the face ot al-
most insuperable obstacles. The grow-
ing seasons of 1899, 1900 and 1901
have probably been the wettest in
the memory of the oldest inhabitants.
The excessive rain has considerably af-
fected the lilies, filling up the air spaces
of the soil, asphyxiating the roots and
at the same time through the fibro-vas-
cular bundles affecting the foliage, caus-
ing it to spot and curl. Yet in spite of
all these difficulties substantial progress
has been made. The much-dreaded eu-
charis mite has been practically exter-
minated, and so far this year I have not
heard ot a single instance of Its appear-
ance. Many fields impoverished and bar-
ren have been restored to fruittulnesB and
the plants have been increased in vigor
and hardihood. In spite of all this im-
provement, much remains to be done.
The quality of the bulbs shipped has
been greatly improved and strides made
toward the evolution of the perfect bulb,
but the best results will not be attained
until some conHtitutionally stronger
plant is produced. With this object in
view I have been experimenting with
many varieties and have decided that
the strongest possible combination
could be produced through the crossing
ot Lillum longiflorum with the Lilium
Harrisii. The result is a flower that is
not only beautiful, but is also hardy and
better fitted to stand shipment."
The experience ot very many American
growers this year does not bear out Mr.
Bishop's statement regarding the re-
newed vigor and improved quality of
the Bermuda lily bulbs; neither is his
further remark to the effect that "the
practice of shipping buds has been dis-
continued " in strict accord with the
tacts, as consignments ot lily flowers
have been received at the port of New
York this year, as formerly.
The American florists wish Mr. Bishop
every success in his effort to reinvigorate
L. Harrisii, or produce a substitute
equally acceptable; also in his endeavor
to get the Bermuda farmer to rest his
fields, and persuade him to take a rest
himself around Easter time. All of
which is "a consummation devoutly to
be wished."
OUR SUPPLEMENT.
Quercus Robur Lucombeana
(Pyramidal English Oak).
When it is considered how many species
of oak our country possesses, probably no
less than a dozen in the State of Pennsyl-
vania, it is with some surprise we flnd but
one species native of England, the Quercus
Robur. But this lack of species is com-
pensated for in a measure by the many
valuable varieties originating from the
one species, and which have been propa-
gated and disseminated. There comes to
mind the blood-leaved English oak, the
variegated, the golden, the pendulous,
and lastly, and certainly the most valued,
the one represented herewith, Lucom-
loeana.
As will be recognized by those familiar
with trees, this oak approaches in appear-
ance the Q. fastigiata, or, as it is some-
times called, pyramidalis, the upright-
growing form so much valued by planters.
The Lucombeana is thought to be superior
in growth to fastigiata in the way of
fullness combined with its pyramidal hab-
it. As the illustration shows, it has an
outline not unlike that of many ever-
greens ; in fact, at a distance, when its foli-
age could not be discerned, it would be
considered an evergreen from its outline.
Even as it is, it is not unlike some of the
firs and pines which loom up in the back-
ground, and this emphasizes the appropri-
ateness of its position as well. It is to the
judicious placing of trees and shrubs that
so many grounds owe much of their beau-
ty. It will be readily seen, looking at this
picture, how a broad-spreading tree would
mar the beauty of this planting.
As is well understood among gardeners,
varieties cannot be relied on to reproduce
themselves exactly, and this oak is no ex-
ception. If a lot of acorns are sown,
there will come all sorts of growths, from
some almost as good as the original to
those which are but the common Robur.
Still a good many come of fair pyramidal
shape, making it quite worth while to have
them, even if not of such a noble growth
as that of Lucombeana. Nurserymen
propagate it by grafting or inarching,
using the common English oak as a stock,
in this way keeping up a fair supply.
This particular variety, Lucombeana, I do
not remember to have seen offered by any
nurseryman here, but the Europeans offer
it, as they pay more attention to propagat-
ing worthy varieties than we do.
Mentioning, as I have, the variegat'.d-
leaved and the blood-leaved varieties, I
would say further that these are most
desirable sorts, and if importers would
offer them there should be no trouble in
selling them. The blood-leaved one is
very striking, having dark, blood-red
leaves in Storing and purplish foliage till
late in the stason. It has not been my
good fortune to see more than two or
three specimens in this country.
A good feature of the English oak and
its varieties, including the Lucombeana,
ij the dark green foliage » hich is kept up
till frost comes. It is true that our native
trees acd shrubs are valued because of the
changing hues of their foliage in Autumn.
There is hardlj' one but what loses its
green and lakes on some other color — yel-
low or red. It is because of this that the
persistent green of the English oak and
all English trees makes these f-o valued by
our landscape gardeners. Most all Eu-
ropean tiees behave the same way. Nurs-
ery customers ask for European ash,
maple, oak, linden, euonymus, elm, alder
and other trees, wishing to secure them to
plant with native trees because of the
contrast afforded. The Turkey o» k, Quer-
cus cerris, is much soueht after for the
same reason, and in addition to this it is
a tree of much symmetry of growth ; ard
then the mossy cups which hold its acorna
are very pretty.

OBITUARY.
A. D. Rohrer.
Abram D. Rohrer, one of the pioneer
florists of Lancaster, Pa., died April 4,
after a brief illness from congestion of the
brain. Deceased was born and raised in
Lancaster County, near Lancaster city. He
was in his sixty-third year. In early life he
engaged in market gardening and truck-
ing. In 1872 he went into the business of
florist and seed dealer with his brother.
Henry D. In 1894 the partnership was
dissolved, when the deceased retired, hav-
ing leased his houses to Landis & Co.
Since then he had spent his winters in
Florida. His widow a' d one son, Willis,
survive him. Mr. Rohrer had been a
member of the Society of American Flo-
rists since its organization.
Mr. Kohrer was the first florist in
Lancaster to make any attempt
at a wholesale shipping business,
and for many years sent quanti-
ties of cut flowers to various
parts of the State. His roses and car-
nations were at the time much sought
after by retail florists as being the best
grown in that section. The fine flowers
ot Hinze's White carnation that he
turned out would compare very favor-
ably with the finer products of to-day.
The weekly paper named "Justice,"
published in Botton, lives up to its name
in the treatment of an illustrated article
on the subject of the growth of thebusi-i
ness of Welch Bros., wholesale merchants |
of that city, appearing in issue of April 6
last. The firm was founded by P. Welch
22 years ago. and its business has assumed I
prodigious proportions. Justice pays the|
)ays tl
"Mr.;
following tribute to the founder
Welch, the head ot the establishment, is a I
gentleman of deep research, and while he|
has always found time to attend to his
business with assiduity, there are few men
who have devoted more attention to the
ever-changing kaleidoscopic visions of the'
floral world. Nothing is ever shown that'
Mr. Welch does not inquire into, and if a
new thing is on the market he is sure to
have it. Then his partners are the most'
pleasant gentlemen to trade with, and the .
whole transaction at any time is pleasant.,
More need not be said." I
An English author has written a book in
which he has incorporated a host of floral
conundrums, culling from popular garder
plants material for furnishing the latest
specimens. The following are samples:
Can you tell why the primrose ? Because
the China aster. Why had the fox gloves;
To let the box box. At what did the cro-
cus ? At the hellebore. Very funny, in

Great Britain is experieucing this yeai
a great dearth of young gardeners,
"Whether from the ravages of the 'khaki
fever or the disincllDation of the moderi
youth to follow a calliog offering so little
remuneration for the ability required, it Is
difficult to tell." says the Journal of Horti
culture. Should the present state of affairs
continue, it is predicted that the pay and
other privileges of the gardener will im
prove.

PLANTS AND FLOWERS.
Azalea H/ERENsiana.— The new azalea,
Htereneiana, sent out by Hivrens Bros.,
Somergem, near Ghent, Belgium, is a
beauty for Easter work and will, no
doubt, become one of the most popular
varieties when known to the trade. The
plant is a strong compact grower and is
conspicuous by its rich dark green foliage.
The flowers are double, large, of good
substance and keep excellently. The
color is a soft salmony pink ; the petals
aremany, withanarrowmargin of white
around the outer edges, and the upper
petals show a few crimson dots toward
their base.
August Rolker & Sons are the sole
agents in the United States and Canada
for the sale of this novelty.
Firms Who Are Building.
MiDDLETOwN, CoNN. — F. B. Fountain
has built a new greenhouse.
Madison, Wis.— Florist Rentschier will
add 12,000 square feet of glass.
Angela, Ind. — Powers & Johnson are
building an additional greenhouse.
Minneapolis, Minn. — The East Side
Floral Co. will construct an additional
greenhouse.
Sooth Bbainthee, Mass. — H. E. Dol-
beare is completing arrangements for
erecting a greenhouse.
Bellefontaine, O. — I'ooie & Puiilant
will build a 40-foot addition to their
greenhouse this coming summer.
Dallas, Te.k. — The Texas Seed and
Floral Co. will double the size of its
plant this season, and will also install a
new waterworks besides making other
improvements. F. W. Beach, formerly
of Richmond, Ind., is now connected
with this concern.
Philadelphia.
The £aBter Business.
All the store men appear to be well
satisfied with the amount of business done.
Very few had much stock left over that
was a loss ; most of it was used up. Al-
though some of the stores did not order as
many lilies as last year, yet a great many
were left over. The call fell off consider-
ably. AU the higher-priced plants were in
great demand. Bougainvilleas, rhododen-
drons and specimen azaleas sold early; for
well-finished plants the price seemed no ob-
ject. Two rhododendrons, bought at whole-
sale for ti each, sold retail at $13 and $20 re-
spectively. No iv, why should not the grow-
er get more out of his plants ? Profits
were in this case unequally divided, the
grower being to blame. Fancy baskets
filled with plants sold very well, as also
did the small hampers filled with plants,
with suitable ribbon attachments.
There were entirely too many azaleas
and many were too far advanced. All
other plants were in good condition. Ihe
business done in cut flowers was very sat-
isfactory, and all the stock arrived in good
condition, excepting carnations; many of
these were bad, evidently having been held
for a week or more. They met their proper
fate — the fakir or the rubbish barrel.
Some carnation growers would be better
off without a cellar.
Saturday being an awfully wet day
made it bad for toose who rented vacant
stores just for Easter business; being de-
pendent entirely upon transient trade,
they had a great many plants left over;
the people who had plants on the street
were also great losers on account of the
rain. The wet weather did not affect the
regular retail storrs to any great extent;
in fact, it helped to facilitate delivery, as
they were not bothered with so many
people, and those who did come were
buyers.
Club Qfeetiog:.
The meeting on Tuesday night last
was poorly attended. Vice-President John
Westcott presided and gave vent to his
feelings by saying it was a great shame to
see such a slim attendance after people
have gone to the trouble to prepare papers
and come a hundred miles to read them.
The members present were sorry to hear
the resignation of our old member, John
Walker, read ; but it was accepted and he
was immediately elected an honorary
member.
John N.May read his paper on "The
Rose Show in New York." This was care-
fully prepared and was full of useful in-
formation.
John H. Taylor was also present and
read a good paper, dwelling chiefly on tlie
rose past, present and future, showing
the necessity of united action of rose grow-
ers In backing up the American Rose So-
ciety to improve the rose and to create
more variety.
Benjamin Durfee likewise read a paper,
and dwelt also on the good qualities of the
rose as above those of the carnation, show-
ing why more united action should be taken
to improve the rose What the rose want^
ed was some Webers. Witterstoetters,
Dorners etc., men who would take as
much pains in hybridizing the rose as the
above named were doing with the carna-
tion. Mr. Durfee's paper was a good one
and will be given in full in a later issue.
Robert Craig said more vaiiety was
needed at the rose show, and he questioned
very much if the Waldorf-Astoria was the
place to hold the Exhibition. New York
demanded something on a large scale, and
it would undoubtedly pay to spend $30,000
to fix up Madison Square Garden for a
grand rose show, and t5H,0?0 could be taken
in Spend money freely to g-t together
the best material, aid then makeanoi.se
to bring in the people.
On motion of Mr. May, Dean Hole, the
English rosarian, was elected an honorary
member of the club, and the secretary was
instructed to send him copiesof the papers
read.
The subject for the May meeting will be
"Landscaping as a Part of the Florist's
Business," by Robt. B. Cridland.
Myers & Saratman exhibited a vase of
the rose Sunrise, the flowers being very
good. Mr. Myers stated that with them
this rose was in habit of growth like
Perle, just as free in flowering, and did
not produce any bullhead flowers.
Aug. Rolker & Son sent for exhibition
two plants of the new Azalea HiBrensiana.
.Tohn A. Shellem exhibited a new lily,
L. Harrisii X L longiflorum, with good
clean foliage and very good flower, large
and perfect.
Easter next year will be on March 30.
Lent begins February 13 David Rust.

Kaster Report.
The Easter business here was biggci'
than ever before; the stock of lilies wa.s
larger than expected, but not enough to
supply the full demand. Had all been in
that were being grown, the town would
have been white with them. Most of the
lilies offered were not up to the best
standard; many of them had poor foli-
age and others had small flowers. But
anything that was at all presentable
went. The general price at wholesale
was 12' -ji-. ]ii'r bloom and bud. A great
many azaleas were sold, but they did
not bring as much at retail as they have
done in former years: some really well-
bloomed lilacs were offered and generally
went well. There were a. few calla plants
presented, but there was but little de-
mand for them. A large number of hya-
cinths was offered, and tlioee with about
four good spikes in a six-inch pot sold
best. Large pans did not go so well.
There was not much demand for p.ilms
or tern pans. A tew nice genistas sold
well, and a limiteii number of good rho-
dodendrons. A considerable ipi.-uitity of
Primula obconica was sold, soino wall-
flowers, cinerarias, migiioiiettc, etc. Dun-
lop showed two grand plants of Bou-
galnvillea Sandcriana, several specimen
orchids and good plants of all the other
stock.
All the stores made fine displays of
plants and flowers, and each one had a,
<listinct style of its own. Tidy had Home
extra, fine P.ride and l*ridesni;iid roses.
Simmons did a splendid business, .lay ^V:
.Sons h;id ;i wry tine lot c»f ])l;nits and

THE EASTER TRADE.
Bbattleboro, Vt. — Exceedingly .iull
weather prevailed the whole of Easter
week, with a pouring rain all day Sunday.
However, sales show an increase over
those of last year, and a general satisfac-
tory sale in both cut flowers and pjtted
plants; nearly all salable stock cleaned
up. C. E. A.
Hamilton, O. — Easter trade was splen-
did. Carnations were in short supply, as
were roses. Murillo, La Reine and Cot-
tage Maid tulips sold well; daffodils and
Roman hyacinths moderately good. All
the lilies were disposed of, and pot lilies
were away short of the demand.
T. B.
Dayton, 0. — Sales exceeded those of
last year about 10 per cent, with the
prices about the same. The supply of
cut flowers was about equal to the de-
mand with the exception of cut lilies.
There was a healthy demand for email
palms and terns and bulbous plants,
with less call for lilac, etc. J. B. H.
FoxEORO, Mass.— Easter trade was fully
as good as last year's, with prices about
the same. The best selling plants were
lilies and small plants in bloom. In cut
flowers, lilies, carnations, violets — in fact,
any bloom sold this Easter, with most call
for white stock. No uovelties were offered
to my knowledge. A. F. B.
Bangor, Me. — Easter trade, consider-
ing the unfavorable weather conditions,
was very good. Cut flowers were much
in overstock. Violets were plentiful and
in small demand. Carnations sold pretty
well. Roses and tulips went slow. Lii-
iums Harrisil and longiflorum were the
best sellers. Azaleas went quite good.
Cinerarias and bulbous stock were in
abundance, but found slow sales. C. B.
Fall River, Mass.— Trade was about
the same as last year's, with prices about
as then ruling. If the weather had been
good a larger business would have re-
sulted. In cut flowers, violets sold the
best and were in short supply. Plenty
of roses and carnations were on hand.
Bulbous stock was left over in quantity.
Plants sold fairly well. The Japanese
cherry sold out clean and was the only
novelty. C. W.
Davenport, Ia.— Easter trade this
year increased largely, probably 10 per
cent, over last year; everything sold out
clean. O wing to rainy and cloudy weather
in the preceding two weeks, it looked as
though there would be a scarcity of
stock. One florist had enough Easter
lilies, but those of most of the others
were a little late. There was an in-
creased sale of plants. Prices were about
the same as last year's. The best selling
stocks were lilies, azaleas, marguerites,
callas, in the order named. J. T. T.
YouNGSTOWN, O.— This being our first
Easter in Youngstown we are hardly in
a position to tell how the Easter sales
differed from those of former years, but
we know that there has been a decided
increase in the sale of plants. This can
be accounted for by our having an un-
usually flue lot in prime condition. In
cut flowers carnations, violets, roses,
lilies, tulips and narcissus sold best, in the
ordernamed. Pot plants of lilies, spirjEa,
tulips, hyacinths. Crimson Rambler roses,
azaleas, narcissus, lilacs, also went well.
W. & McL.
Leavenworth, Kan.— Trade at Easter
was pretty fair considering the bad
weather. Roses, carnations, violets, lily
of the valley and lilies were in demand.
Hyacinths, tulips and daffodils were less
salable. Bloomiug plants were in great
demand and very scarce, owing to the
bad and cloudy weather during the month
of March. No Easter lilies were grown
in Leavenworth; only cut blooms were
to be had. Roses brought fl.50 per
dozen; carnations, 75c. to f 1 ; violets .f2
per 100; lilies, 25c. apiece. J. B.
St. Jobn, N. B.— Easter business of
1901 shows a decided improvement over
previous years. Plants of all kinds, with
the exception of pots of lily of the valley,
sold readily at good prices. Cut flowers
were plentiful and of good quality. Roses
were much better than last year, but
prices for them ruled about the same.
Carnations were short, as usual, and sold
at good prices. H. S. Cruikshank had
some Mrs. T. W. Lawson, which were
readily bought up at double the price
obtained for any of the other sorts.
H. S. C.
Fredericton, N. B. — The weather
preceding and during Easter was the
worst experienced here in twenty years.
In plants lilies, callas, lily of the valley
ericas, roses In pots, genistas, azaleas.
primroses, cyclamen and cinerarias sold
well. In cut flowers roses and carnations
led, with a big demand for the latter.
The prices were about the same as those
of last year; roses fl.50 to f 2 per dozen;
carnations, 75c. to $1; lily of the valley,
50c. Azaleas in 5 and 6 inch pots real-
ized $1.50 to .152 each. Our novelties
were white lilac and Dielytraspecto bills.
Lilies in St. John were about a week late.
J. B.&SON.
Toledo, O.— Considering the weather,
which was against us, trade amounted to
about 50 per cent, more than that of last
year. Good lilies sold readily at 25c. per
bud and blossom, plants bringing from
$1.50 to S2.50, even though the hawkers
sold lilies on the sireet corners at two for
25c. and hyacinths three plants, one in a
pot, for aSc. My sales ran mostly to
azaleas, then cinerarias, very large mar-
guerites and geraniums In Toledo there
are some florists who will always cut prices
on holidays to get a little ready money,
but they hurt nobody except themselves.
E. A. S.
Lexington, Ky. — The Easter plant
trade was the largest ever known here,
although the weather was most unpro-
pitious — a driving cold rain. The people
bought in quantities; no novelties were
offered, only the old standby plants.
Boston fern, hyacinths and Murillo tulips
in pans were among the best selling. Hy-
drangeas, azaleas and mixed ferns also
went well. Cut flowers were scarce and
high-priced; good roses brought $2.50
per dozen; carnations, $1 and $1.50.
All bulbous stock brought $1.50 and $1
per dozen and sold well. Pans of forget-
me-nots were in strong demand.
A. & W.
Marion, Ind. — Easter trade here was
about the same as last year's. The
weather was cold and cloudy and prob-
ably hampered business a little. Every-
thing in cut flowers was cleaned out and
at good prices, carnations being espe-
cially in demand, with colored stock the
favorite. "Plants sold well, too, and
few good ones wtre left over. Of lilies
there was a good supply, all locally
grown, and a few were not disposed of.
1 had a splendid lot of Kaiserin Augusta
Victoria roses in for Easter week and
cut nearly 2,000, half of which were
shipped during the week at good prices.
G. T.
Troy, N. Y.— Easter trade here beat all
records. We had a steady rain all day
Saturday, but everything cleaned out.
American Beauty roses and violets went
slow. Carnations and General Jacque-
minot roses had the lead. Potted plants
of all kinds sold well. Hydrangeas were
scarce and not much called for. Tulips
were in big demand. Lilies were pleniiful
and of good quality. Gen. Jacqueminot
brought $2 a dozen ; violets, S2.5U per 100 ;
carnations, $1 totl.50 perdozen; American
Beauty, $3 per dozen; tulips, daffodils and
hyacinths, 75c. per dozen ; lilies, S3 per
dozen. We never saw stock sell so quick-
ly The outlook the coming week is
bright. W. Bugs.
SYRAcnsE, N. Y. — Easter sales showed
a large increase. Th(re was the usual
demand for potted plants in bloom,
nearly all of which sold well, one firm re-
porting potted roses as their very best
sellers. Another reports cheaper stock,
such as cinerarias, hyacinths and tulips
in pans, as selling best. Yearly there is
an increase in the demand for plants —
owing, doubtless, to the high prices of
cut flowers. In the latter roses rather
took a back seat. Carnations were in
the forefront, with violets following
close behind. The former brought $1,
$1.50 and .$2 per dozen for fancies such
as The Marquis and Mrs. Thomas W.
Lawson. Violets went readily at $2 to
$3 per 100, with supply unequal to the
demand. M.
Newport, R. I. — The Easter trade here
was most satisfactory to all concerned,
the only drawback being thedamp,drizzly
weather, which tended to keep shoppers
at home. As it was, nearly everything
in the shape of a flower was sold out,
and with the exception of carnations,
which were higher, everything sold at
about the usual rates. Harrisii lilies
were of good quality and fairly plentiful,
yet there were none showing color left;
on hand. Azaleas of medium sizes sold
well, but the supply was not equal to
the demand. Bulbous stock in pots also
sold uncommonly well. In cut flowers
carnations led, being sold at an advance
of from 25 to 50 per cent., and the supply
was far short of thedemand. Roses were
plentiful enough. Violets both single and
double were all picked up. Gibson Bros,
handled some extra fine flowers of The
Farquhar.
Dallas, Tex. — Easter is over and
the local florists seem well pleased with
the result. The Texas Seed & Floral Co.
had a grand display. Their large double
stores were beautiftlly decorated. The
interior was a mass of Easter lilies, aza-
leas, hydrangeas and palms, all of which
found ready sales. Nothing In plants
wasleftou handatGP.M. In cut flowers
Brides and Bridesmaid roses sold freely
and a large stock was disposed of.
American Beauty also found ready sale.
Carnations led the van and thousands
were sold. Lily of the valley was scarce
and in little demand. Thesupply of bulb-
ous stock was also limited. Violets
sold well. In fact, the whole stock ot
flowers was closed out clean by 8 P. M.
There is an increased demand for good
pot plants, especially Easter lilies.
F. W. B.
Lynn, Mass. — With'arwhole week of
rainy weather, including Sunday, the
Easter trade was about the same as that
of last year. Lilies sold out clean, as
usual; there was not enough of good L.
lougiflorum; azaleas came next, but not
very many were around ; tulips, daffo-
dils, etc., sold well. Crimson Rambler
roses did not take as well as usual. Incut
flowers carnations were the most called
for, but owing to the scarcity and high
price tulips and narcissus were in greater
demand. Violets sold well, butnot up to
the average, on account of the bad
weather. Roses were rather poor and
not in great demand. Store decorations
were more in evidence; some very good
ones were seen. The churches did not do
as much decorating as last year, confin-
ing displays to lilies. Quite a demand
was experienced for ferns and palms in
small sizes. There were no novelties of
any importance. Considering the weath-
er, Easter of 1901 was as gOod as could
be expected. J. L. M.
Elmiea, N. Y. — Sales averaged good
despite unfavorable weather conditions.
It was the stormiest Easter week on
record, with a big fall ot snow a few
days before, succeeded by a pouring rain
all day Saturday and little improvement
Easter morning. Deliveries were natural-
ly handicapped, and to make bad matters
worse, the telephonesystem wascrippled.
Trade too was late, and came with such
a rush at the last minute that all orders
could not be properly attended to. Prac-
tically there was little or no shortage,
with quality exceptionally good for horae-
growu stock. Prices were reasonable.
A consignment of lilies from Philadel-
phia was so poorly packed that only a
dozen or so of the whole lot were sal-
able— and L. longiflorum at that. The
Marquis was the favorite carnation at
$1.25 per dozen. Ixias sold well; it is
an excellent decorative and durable cut
flower. Blooming plants in pots and
pans were extra good and in great va-
riety. Probably if the weather had been
decently favorable there would have been
nothing left over — if! The precocious
youngster remarks with severe intona-
tion and sarcasm — "That ar if ia a devil
ot a word, alntlt?"
Grove P. Eawson.
New Haven, Conn. — Easter trade was
very good considering it rained for four
days previously and on Saturday nearly
all day. Orders not already in were
mostly received over thetelephone. Prices
were about the same as in other years.
Fancy baskets filled with ferns and flow-
ering plants sold well; also 8-inch pans
of tulips, narcissus, hyacinths and ge-
raniums in flower. Crimson Rambler
roses were in good demand, but the qual-
ity was very poor. Very little sale was
found tor hydrangeas, also for large
flats of bulbs. Good Harrisii and long-
iflorum lilies were in great demand. All
good plants and flowers sold out early,
but nearly all florists had some stock
which they could not give away. Cham-
pion reports good sales along nearly all
hues; his worst trouble was in delivery
on account of rain. S. E. Moore had the
best Easter he ever had. His greatest
run was on violets. There was very
little demand for small orange trees. The
Robert VeitchCo.hada fine lot ot azaleas
and rhododendrons ot their own grow-
ing which sold well. There was not
enough variety in the azaleas. Monroe,
Long and F. S. Piatt were all busy.
Among growers E. J. Morse reports
heavy crop of violets. He had tar more
than he expected; in fact, he refused
orders early in the week which he might
have fllled and still have thousands left.
His carnations were not so plentiful as
they would have been 10 days later. J.
H. Sloeombe grows nothing but violets;
he also had a heavy crop of excellent
flowers. W. J. R.
London, Ont.— Was it fickle fashion or
the high price, or both combined, that
caused the falling off in the demand for
cut flowers ? That there was a falling off
in the local demand there is no question,
and I can hardly attribute it to high
prices, particularly on roses, when one
dealer had a large placard in his window
all day Saturday stating '• Roses $1 per
dozen." At the other stores more season-
able prices were obtained, roses selling at
from §1.50 to $3 per dozen. But even at
these prices the supply was more than
equal to the demand, and large quantities
of good stock were carried over. The de-
mand for carnations was a little better,
prices obtained being from 6tc. to $1 per
dozen; yet the supply was not equal to the
demand. There was little or no call
for lily of the valley, tulips or daffodils.
Taken altogether, the local call for cut
flowers was an all-around disappointment.
For Easter lilies the demand far exceeded
the supply, notwithstanding nearly all
that the growers had were brought in.
For the first time at Easter azaleas were
called for. Some very good ones were
shown in the windows and were eagerly
picked up before noon. The demand for
smaller flowering plants was not as no-
ticeable as in former years. Notwith-
standing the falling off in the call for cut
flowers, the total sales for the week showed
an increase of 10 per cent, over the cor-
responding week last season. W. G.
Rochester, N. Y. — It either rained or
snowed almost continuously in Rochester
for a week preceding Easter, which was
especially injurious to the fiower trade.
Ladies simply wouldnotventureout, and
all the fiower selling was crowded into
Friday and Saturday. The result was
that |during the last hours the crush of
buyers could not be waited on,andsothe
aggregate sales fell far below what had
been anticipated. Even with the stormy
weather, however, the florists had a satis-
factory sale. Salter Bros, say the volume
and prices corresponded very closely to
last year. Plants gained over any pre-
vious year, and the best selling cut flowers
were violets, for which there was a great
rush. J. B. Keller's Sons say they did
not notice any change from last year,
except that roses and carnations were in
brisker demand. The E. R. Fry Florist
Co. did a little more business, attribut-
able to the fact that the supply of cut
flowers was in better condition and the
demand was torthebest. Thepriceswere
also better and the cut flowers took the
lead over the plants. Mr. Fry said he
detected indications that the people are
tiring of azaleas, but are still partial to
other plants that have not become so
common. He sold all his Crimson Ram-
bler roses at good prices, fair plants
bringing $5, and says he could have dis-
posed of more if he could have obtained
them. H. E. Wilson had a tremendous
sale of both flowers and plants and had
a special demand for pans of hyacinths
with from five to ten bulbs In each. He
thought the prices and the proportion ot
cut flowers to plants were about the
same as last year. C. P. W.
Experiment Stations
and the Florist Trade.
Editor Florists^ Exchange:
Wehavebeen unable to undertake any
systematic experiments here with floral
problems on account of the more active
demand throughout this entire territory
for the investigation ot other problems,

We note in your issue of the 6th inst. a
correspondent inquires tor a means ot
getting rid ot white fly. It is evident
that he has never tried Nicoticide, as we
venture to say that he would find that
its application would quickly rid him ot
these pests. We shall be glad to furnish
him with full particulars on application.

windovv Display of George Sturwpp, New York.
Display of Easter Plants in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, N. Y,
In the Land of the Olive.
Read by Arthur Herriugton before tbe New
York Florists' Club, April 8, 1901.
It was a rapid transportation from the
rigors ot Winter at its worst to the joy
and exhilaration of Spring in its most
genial aspect — from leaden skies, still air
and a frost-bound earth to glorious
sunshine and its responsive life in tree
and flower and song ot birds. At 8 p. m. |
two travelers in Winter garb shiveringly
awaited the departure of the south-
bound "Eapide" from the Gare de I-yon,
in Paris. At 10 a. m. next day the same m
two travelers sought the shaded side ot i
the streets o( Marseilles while walking' I
out to the garden ot M. Fournter, a place
charmingly situated in the suburbs of the
city, with commanding views of the busy
seaport and the blue Mediterranean be-
yond. Here we got our first glimpses of
that wealth and variety ot vegetation
that makes the Riviera a paradise to
plant lovers, the garden spot of Europe.
Here phcenix and cocos, bamboos, mag-
nolias and camellias, grouped and massed,
show the garden possibilities, of which
more will be said anon, in the "sunny
south." But ev en Nature in her kindliest
mood as seen here tails to satisfy M.
Fournier, whose first love is for orchids,
so the houses containing them are vis-
ited. But without giving details men-
tion must be made of about 10,000 seed-
lings in various stages ot advancement,
and not a few, once again a result of
abundant sunshine, about to flower,
though less than three years old.
Leaving Marseilles by an afternoon
train
Hy6re8
was reached shortly after dark, and
the road to the hotel was through an
avenue of phcenix of great size and
beauty. The plant, flower, fruit and
vegetable Industry of Hyeres Is enor-
mous, and we made an early morning
start to see and learn something about
It.
Traversing the before-mentioned ave-
nue of palms, of which there are a double
line on each broad sidewalk, our atten-
tion is attracted by a novel tree, planted
alternately with the phcenix, a tree that
at first glance looks like a pinus, but
possessed of a slender, airy grace, foreign
to that genus, when it suddenly dawns
upon us we areconfronted by an Austra-
lian tree, and it is Casuarina tenulfolia.
Here it was a beautiful subject, shooting
up clear and straight and conical, like a
hemlock, with leafage like that ot our
white pine and the slender, plumy grace
of the tamarisk. Some of the trees were
50 feet in height. It was a singular asso-
ciation, whether by accident or design
I could not find out, but it would be a
wise thing to take away all the phoenix,
and let that avenue become one of the
most unique features of the Riviera.
Passing a number of small gardens, all
filled with oranges and the ground close
cropped with violets, anemones, Eomau
hyacinths and narcissus, we reach the
Jardin de Ville de HySies — a sort ot pub-
lic garden containing fine palms and
other exotics, all, of course, in the opeu|^
air; but its feature was its eucalyptus
trees. There will be occasion for men-
tioning this tree later on, but to this
garden must be credited the largest spec-
imen seen during the tour— a truly
gigantic tree, with a trunk girthing nearly
15 feet and an enormous branch-spread.
Yet we were assured that this tree was
only planted in 1871.
We next visited the
Jardin du Gros Pin,
which takes its name from a magnifl-
cent pine tree standing therein. This
was a purely commercial e8tablishment,iii
short, a phosnlx manufactory, where
Pha'nix cauarlensis israised in thousands
upon thousands for shipment to florists
in northern cities. The plants are raised
from seed, potted, plunged in nursery
beds, grown in full sun and watered by
irrigation. At the time we saw them
(February) they were protected by hur-
illes made of the southern heath Erica
raediterranea, laid upon a light frame
coustructlon, blocks of an acre being
covered in this way, this being sufliclent
protection for such slight frosts as occur
here, while admitting enough light and
air to the plants throughout the period
of desired protection. Doubtless many
readers are familiar with these open-alr-|
grown phoenix, which in three yearflj
make stocky plants, about two feet high,)
and are then shipped north, put underj
glass, plunged in a bed ot tan or others
warm material, and in a tew months,!
having made a new set of leaves, are onl
the market. So sturdy and hard grown'l
are these plants that for shipment north
they are packed solid in bos cars, as one

would load a car of lumber; in fact, we
were assured only by the possibility of
shipping them in this way eould profits
accrue.
Besides these small grades, about two
acres of ground was covered with a
structure made of bamboos and about
15 feet in height, filled entirely with
ph(Enix and growing bamboos by hun-
dreds, in pots and tubs — a grand lot of
stock.
A comparatively new culture, too, is
the aspidistra, grown in the same way
and with surprising results.
The nurseries of MM. Coufourier &
Burlat and M. Clin were next visited — a
repetition of the torego'ng turning out
of phcenix in prodigious quantities by
similar cultural methods.
Next we visited the establishment of
M. Delor, and were introduced to cul-
tures of a totally different character.
By way of preface it should be men-
tioned that this fertile valley of Hyfres
wasonce a greatorange grove, but when
orange culture began in Spain, Corsica
and other southern latitudes it ceased
to be profitable at Hj Ores, and the neces-
sity for othermore remunerativecultures
arose. M. Delor worked out his own sal-
vation by growing rofes, or, in strict
truth, one rose. Doubtless many of us
are familiar with the beautiful buds of
Safrano rose, abundant in the flower
markets of northern European cities from
November onward, and linow they are
shipped up from the south. M. Delor
claims to be the pioneer in this industry,
and we saw abundant evidence to sub-
stantiate his claim. After several years
of experiment he became a one-roFe
man, and that one rose Kafrano. Now
he has acres of It. But of especial nter
est was his original plantation, made 2,'«
years ago, the bushes still vigorous and
productive. The way it is profitable is
an interesting instance of adapting
methods to conditions and environment.
Safrano or any tea rose is practically
evergreen and never really dormant. In
Summer heat the flowers are full-blown
and useless in a few hours. But the
bushes are given a liard pruning early
in September, and the resultant growth
gives a crop of bloom at a time when the
days are shorter and cooler; the buds
are cut bard and shipped north packed
iu light wicker baskets. There are large
plots of this rose of different ages, all
plants on their own roots, growing in
rows about two meters apart, with
alternating rows of grapevines.
M. l^elor is a plant lover, too, and has
surrounded his house with a collection
of the choicest. You approach his place
through au avenue of Ph(enix canarieu-
sis, which was as fine as anything we
anw. They stand about 24 feet apart,
have enormous clear stems about 8 feet
high, immense heads of leaves, the tips
just touching those of the next plant;
and when we saw them all were heavy
in fruit, and the effect of the great clus-
ters of yellow fruits beneath the dense
umbrageous heads of foliage was ex-
tremely beautiful. Alternated between
the ph.enix were gigantic agaves. The
next thing to command admlra-
t.loij were his acacias, The mlmoaa of
the northern flower markets (Acacia
dealbata) was everywhere in evidence
about HySres, in full blossom, but a
group at M. Delor's made an Impression
that will never fade from memory. The
trees were about 40 feet high, though
only planted in 1882, with spread-
ing heads, branched to the ground,
and seen from a short distance in bright
sun, beneath a deep blue cloudless sky,
it was a picture of beauty to which no
words can give adequate utterance nor
artist's brush reproduce. .Several other
species of acacia were also in flower, one
particularly deserving of mention being
Acacia cultriformis, having small trian-
gular leaves, like those of A.armata, but
of a bright silvery color, the shoots ter-
minated by branching panicles of feathery
yellow blossoms.
Pittosporume, eriostemons and other
handsome Australian shrubs were noted,
and last, but far from least, we had come
all this way to see and realize the beaut.v
of an Ameiican palm, a beauty that
words fail to convey and that we in the
Eastern States know nothing of, or we
would surely have it. The palm is Brahea
(Erytha-a) edulis, and as growing in the
open ground here surpasses in beauty any
palm the writer has ever seen growing
under any condition. There were several
specimens, the best of them having nearl.v
100 leaves, in color like polished
silver. The bluest of blue spruces grow-
ing here would look dull in comparison
with this plant. Cannot we have it?
We would have to grow it in tubs, but
outside in Summer it should assume as
good color beneath our Summer sun.
Brahea (Erytha^a) Koezli was also well
grown and abundant in fruit, which we
were privileged to taste and found it
pleasant, the hard seed enveloped in a
sweet pulp.
The Villa Amelic, a private garden,
was next visited, Australian plants being
the hobb.v of the at-one-time owner; and
here again acacias, eriostemons, metro-
sideros, pittosporum.s, haakeas, and
others too numerous to mention made a
garden unique of its kind, with Grevillea
robusta as a crowning feature, and a
revelation to anyone knowing it only as
the small plants we have in pots: where-
as here was a group of trees 80 feet or
more in height, with stems girthing 3 to
4 feet, yet still possessed of all the feath-
ery grace of foliage that commends it to
our favor in a small state.
Much more of interest might be said of
HySres and its products — the acres of
bulbs, especially Roman hyacinths, the
best grown in Europe, the acres of Globe
artichokes, the vineyards and fruit gar-
dens and flelda of early vegetables.
Leaving Hyiires we were truly in the
Land op the Olive,
a tree of such a distinctive type of
beauty, as well as utility, so characteris-
tic all through this maritime district,
that after one has seen all that is fairest
and best, native and exotic, still the
olive comes back to mindasthe predomi-

nating feature of the natural flora. For
miles we pass through olive orchards,
where the tree is made subservient to
cultural methods aud its beauty gives
wa.y to utility, a system of pruning pre-
vailing which iieeps it low with a flat
head, so that its fruits can be gathered
standing on the ground. These olive
orchards abound on both sides of the
railroad till we come to

in and near to which are palatial
homes and gardens of exceeding beauty.
men of Cocos flexuosa var. Marie Rose,
with a stem about 20 feet high, sur-
mounted by a splendid head of leaves.
The silvery Brahea Roezli was seen in fine
specimens, while the massed plantings of
phcenix and washingtonias were truly of
tropical luxuriance.
As a substitute for grass beneath and
around the palms, Ophiopogon Jaburan
was used and liept as close cut as the
grass. Preparations were advanced for
the annual March display when the
Baron occupies the villa, and we were
permitted to view the slock which is
Monte Carlo Gardens.
The Formal Garden.
Casino at end of Vista.
The first place visited was the Villa
Rothschild, owned by Baron Alphonse
de Rothschild, and though comparatively
small in area, the garden is filled with
plant treasures.
A hedge of bamboo 20 to 30 feet high
makes a perfect screen from the public
streets and a fine background for the
massive plantings of palms, agaves,
aloes, etc. Near the entrance and^flrst
to attract notice is a magnificent speci-
brought into flower in a nursery garden
close by and then transferred to the beds
and borders of the villa garden when in
full flower. Five thousand hybrid per-
petual roses are forced for this Spring
display, besides rhododendrons, azaleas
and bulbousstock in enormousquantity,
the latter, of course, requiring no forcing;
but being grown in pots In frames. M.
Bans is the able gardener of this lavishly
adorned place.
Close by, in the Villa des Luynes, we
saw the finest Araucaria Bidwilliin the
south of France, an Immense tree, 50 to
60 feet high, and of great branch-spread.
We next visited the extensive domain
of Lord Rendel, a place be.vond the limits
of the town, and extending far up the
mountain side it possesses unique and
varied features. In its lay-out and devel-
opment the old olive groves and terraces,
planted with oranges, have been pre-
served and combine effectively in the gar-
den scheme. The washingtonias beside
the main drive are superb and the phce-
nix magnificent. A specimen of P. sene-
galensis was noted, heavil.v fruited and
very effective, Its fruits being of a rich
plum-purple color. Memories of many
more beautiful things seen come back,
too numerous by far to give in detail
here. From Cannes a short excursion
was made inland to
Grabse,
a quaint old city famous for its per-
fumes, and worthy of a visit, if only to
see how flowers for the perfume distil-
leries are grown. To the right and left
and below the city,which stands high on
the mountain side, are miles of narrow
terraces planted with jasmine, rosesand
other flowers, cultivated under condi-
tions that would seem absurd, only none
other are possible. Here is a beautiful
country, delightful to live in, favored
with a genial climate, and now richly
productive, but at what cost ! Those
long lines of terraces rising tier above
tier testify to efforts almost superhuman
before the steep, rocky mountain slopes
became amenable to cultivation. There
was no choice In the matter, and terrac-
ing only stops when impossible. The
largest and loveliest garden in this para-
dise of flowers is at Grasse and belongs
to the Baroness Alice de Rothschild. A
day was spent in It, but no attempt to
express in words its varied charms and
floral richness can picture it to you.
About the house are fine groups and
noble specimens of palms, dracsenas,
agaves, aloes and bamboos, and here
again Brahea Roezli stands out con-
spicuously and strikingly attractive, a
plant unique in beauty. From ^the villa
the garden extends up the mountain to
an elevation of about 1,000 feet, easily
accessible throughout by a cleverly built
winding road some two miles in length
and of easy grade. A mountain side of
olive trees has been transformed into an
immense garden by a careful association
of shrubs and flowers that make it re-
plete with interest and variety, and yet
at all times the charm of the olive Is su-
preme. At a still greater elevation .you

and here again Is noted the same clever
association of allied and harmonious
t.vpes — nature Improved by art. Here
also we saw, and only at some such ele-
vation can you see and realize, what

to visit the Villa Menier, another superb
place with a long frontage to the sea.
Its spacious grounds are well planted,
showing fine massed effects of palms and
bamboos, and there are giant trees of
Eucalyptus globulus, which were in
flower at the time. M. Riffaud, the gar-
dener, highly praised the eucalyptus for
exposed situations such as this, saying
it was rarely broken by the strongest
winds. Araucaria excelsa was repre-
sented b.v several magnificent trees 50 Jto ,
60 feet high. Adjoining is the garden of
the Villa Valetta. its most noteworthy
feature being a splendid group of Wash-
ingtonia filifera.
Les Cocottiebs
was next visited. It is a nursery, but,
as the name would imply, is named after
the cocos palms, of which It possesses a
group of trul.v marvelous specimens of
C. plumosus. They are growing at the
foot of a rocky hill, and have grand
columnar stems 20 to 25 feet high, sur-
mounted by splendid leafage, a picture of
luxuriant health. The world-famed nurs-
eries of M. Nabonnand are next encoun-
tered,and they, too, have beautiful palms,
although roses are the special culture.
A few miles more along the lovely
coast, and we come to
Antibes,
another garden spot with much com-
mercial floriculture, and having some
large, comparatively level areas and fine
facilities for extensive culture. In every
flower store throughout the trip we had
seen carnations. At Antibes we found a
growerof carnations, by name M.Cariat.
He has the largest glass establishment
we saw, and everything well grown.
Fifty houses, ranging in length from 100
to 150 feet, are devoted to carnations,
all splendidly grown and abundant in
flower; but what a disappointment
when judged by the standard of those
we have In this country. While appreci-
ating the gravity of the assertion, still it
must be asserted, every carnation seen
here was absolutely worthless for the
American market. Almost all were
bursters, and the majority of them varie-
gated in color. In hues often by no means
pleasing. The houses are cheaply con-
structed, and the only provision for heat-
ing was a little stove standing about the
center of the house, in which a small
wood fire Is lighted for a few hours when
occasion requires. The plants are set in
the ground in rows about two feet
apart. Doubtless our flne carnations
would grow as well there, for they would
have the samebrightsunshine with solar
Instead of artificial heat. Roses were
very well done. An immense block of
giassapproximatlnganacre was planted
entirely with Marechal Niel rose trained
to transverse trellises. The earliest
batch was jnst commencing to bloom,
slight artificial heat being used; but bo-
HH
beauty is in a country full of olive trees.
The scene was one that will never fade
from memory. Before us and to right
and left over many square miles of coun-
try nothing but olive trees fanned by a
gentle breeze, shimmering in sunshine,
their glistening silvery leaves, like mil-
lions of tiny mirrors, reflecting dancing
sunbeams.
Continuing along the coast from Cannes
we paused at
lar heat suffices for the two batches that
follow. Hybrid perpetual roses are forced
in immense quantities. They are first
established in the open ground and the
house erected over them when strong
enough to force. A large block of smllax
(myrslphyllum) was growing in an open
slat house, and there was a splendid lot;
but M. Cariat said even grown thus he
could not compete with northern culti-
vators. At the time of our visit he was

doubling the size of his establishment, a
six-acre tract being graded into a series
ot four Immense terraces, solely tor ruses
and carnations.
The Villa Thuret.atAntibes, was visited
next. It is a public garden of great bo-
tanical Interest, the collection consisting
of eyerything known to be hardy along
the Riviera. This garden contains the
first eucalyptus planted in the south of
France, and it is a fine tree, though not
equal In dimensions to the one previously
noted at HySres. The first Jubsea apec-
tabllls planted In the south Is here also,
and a magnificent specimen, having an
immense stem, girthing about 12 feet, Is
120 feet or more in height, with a propor-
tionate crown of leaves. PIttosporums,
acacias and other flowering shrubs and
trees are represented in great variety.
The Cap d'Antibes is a bold olive-clad
promontory, jutting far out into the sea,
and at its extremity Is the Villa Ellen-
Roc. En route we pass by a number of
little flower farms where violets, anem-
ones, ranunculus and narcissus are
being gathered, bunched and packed for
northern markets; notice also a row of
great agaves by the roadside, of which a
dozen had recentl.v flowered, ricinus of
tree dimensionsand otherfamiliar plants
large in stature and luxuriance ot
growth. A long rocky fore shore consti-
tutes the garden of the Villa Eilen-Roc,
and hours might be profitably spent there
enjoying Its wealth of plant beauty—
the aloes, agaves, opuntias, crassuias,
mesembryanthemums and hosts ot grace-
ful foliage and flowering plants that
have been naturalized in a real rock gar-
den. The congenial conditions may be
realized, for on the lawn above stand
Immense trees of Ficus macrophylla and
Oreopanaxdactylifolium. while the flower
beds were filled with Chinese primulas
and Persian cyclamen, and aspidistra
and begonia Rex were an undergrowth
and ground cover, among groups of
plttosporums.
NioB,
though' popular as a resort, is hortlcul-
turally far behind its neighboring places.
It has a town garden, however, along
the sea front that will be better with age,
and which must haveinvolved enormous
expense in the making, as it is built over
the broad estuar.v of a river that flows
into the sea at this point. The broad
" Promenadedes Anglais," too. is planted
with phoenix, and has many flower beds.
A short stay sufiices here and we hasten
on to
Monte Carlo
to see the magnificent gardens that sur-
round the Casino. They are a revelation
of beauty, and planted with such a va-
riety of things one hardly knows what
to single out for special mention. Hav-
ing climbed the steps that lead up to the
Casino from the railway station, we were
first astonished by a great mass of Aloe
ferox in flower, a hundred spikes of fiery
crimson, vividly effective. We pass
round, however, to the town side, and
note first the formal garden, which is in
reality a long vista, terminated by the
Casino. An illustration of this garden
Is given. The garden issllghtly depressed,
and the vista has been formed by a Bne
piece of planting. An avenue of washing-
tonias alone would be effective, but this
has been made lighter in effect and
doubly beautiful by alternating each
palm with an Australian tree, Brachy-
chiton popullfoiium, a tree of singular
grace and distinctiveness, having a
smooth stem, ot pyramidal tapering
growth, and gray-green leaves; in fact,
it might be called an evergreen aspen.
This avenue is well shown in the engrav-
ing, but palms and trees are now nearly
twice the size they were when the picture
shown was taken. This is the only piece
of formal gardening; elsewhere natural
arrangements prevail, and the gardens
teem with rare and choice specimens and
groups planted to the best advantage.
Amongpalms we noted Thrinax Chuco.a
rare species with a spiny stem; Pritch-
ardia nobllis, truly noble Cocos australis
in many flne specimens: Brahea Roezll
here as elsewhere wonderful In color;
Chamaeropa filifera, with leaves cut into
narrow segments ; C. Martiana.a rare and
distinct species; Cocoa Blumenavl state-
ly, tall and graceful; C. cycadlfolla, with
a slender .30-toot stem and a heavy head
of cycas-like leaves; Corypha australis,
Phienlx spinosa, Latanla borbonlca,
while an exceptionally tall date palm
gave support to a 30-foot specimen of
Cereus quadrltormis. Ficus macrophylla
was represented by a tree about 40 feet
high, with a branch-spread nearly 30 teet
in diameter. F. rublginosa, too, was a
handsometree; butqualnt, in fact unique,
was a specimen of F. Roxburgh! that
had developed aerial roots like the ban-
yan, ot which there were five masses,
having an 8 toot descension at almost
equal distances round the stem, and all
having entered the ground the tree was
certainly securely anchored.
Isolated upon the grasa waa a large
plant ot Strelitzia regina in flower, while
in more sheltered nook was a marvelous
mass of Strelitzia augusta, 30 feet in
height, half as much in diameter, with
enormous musa-like leaves. Yucca bac-
cata and Y. guatemalensis 20 feet in
height, Aralla palmata, Oreopanax dac-
tylifoilum.dasylirions, opuntias and bam-
boos of tropical stature and luxuriance
were noted. In fact, it time and space per-
mitted, much more might be said ot
many rare and choice plants, all hardy
and happily at home here.
This wonderful garden is a monument
of the most enduring character to the
capacit.y and ability ot M. Van den Daele,
who has madeit whatit Is during the 21
.veara he has had the direction ot it. Its
floral features, too, are on the same
elaborate scale. About 80.000 c.vclamen
and 40.000 primulas are raised annually,
the bulk of them planted out in the l)edB
and borders. There were some striking
beds ot lachenalias In fiower. Several
miles of terraces form a supply garden;
in fact, this portion ot the establishment
la prodigioua, and renlete with a large
and varied stock of plants. We were in-
formed that the Casino gardens have a
working staff of 200 men.
A walk round the palace of the Prince
of Monaco concluded the day. It stands
on a high promontory thrust out into
the sea, and on the extreme point, which
is covered with scrubb.v pines, were masses
ot red geraniums several feet high — in
fact, a tangled, thick undergrowth to the
pines, about the moat curious association
one could think of.
ViNTIGMILIA,
the first town in Ital.v. was the next
stoppins-place, and La Mortola.the gar-
den ot Mr . Thomas Hanbury, our desti-
nation. This garden la a series of ter-
races on a steep hillside, and is full of
rare and beautiful plants. Especially
noteworthy were some gigantic plants
ot Agave Salmlana, fourcroyaa. opun-
tias, bankslas. plttosporums and others
previously noted elsewhere. The drive
to and from the place was most interest-
ing, aa we saw miles ot terraces, manv of
them only wide enough to accommodate
a row of grapevines or a single row ot
peas, which were then in blossom. Some
of the terrace walla here were veiled in
ivy-leaved geraniums, which, planted at
the top, had grown down, completely
hiding the wall, and gay with a profu-
sion of bloom.
Continuing along the coast through
olive groves, lemon orchards and fruit
gardens carved outof the mountain aide,
looking like gigantic flights of steps, we
reached Genoa, and here all of horticul-
tural interest ceased.

The Easter Trade.
Business at Easter is reported as
having been very good with the whole-
salers, while the general report amnnt;'
the retailers is "good considering tlic
weather," The latter was entirely
against increased trade. All week long-
it rained, and to-day (Wednesday) it con-
tinues, being eight days now since we
have seen the sun.
The wholesalers cleaned up very well
on about everything excepting, possibl.v,
bulbous flowers. Prices did not change
much from those of the past two or three
weeks, except for carnations, wliicli
nearly doubled in value. The be.'^t,
varieties brought $5 and $6 per lOO
with fancies at S8, while many smaller
ones sold at $3 and $4. Anticipating a
shortage and extra demand on these
flowers, some of the growers resorted to
the old-time custom ot "salting," which
I)ractice has proven in the past to be a
failure. They met with the usual results:
stock with a "taste ot brine" on it went
at a sacrifice,
Roses maintained their usual values,
American Beaut.v .and Ulrich Brunner of
be.st grades brought $4 to $.") per liozen,
witli smaller grades at $6 and §8 per
100. General Jacqueminot were just
coming in and not plentiful; they realized
$3 tor best grades, smaller ones going at
$2 and $1.50 and $1 per dozen. Bride
and Bridesmaid ot best quality brought
$16 per 100, smaller grades at $12.50
and $10 down to $4. There were a few
food Liberty on hand which sold well at
3 per dozen, but the great mnjorit.v
were short-stemmed, realizing $4 to $8
per 100. jTcrr-:- —
_^Bulbous flowers were in good supply;
in fact, more than sufficient to meet the
demand. Von .Sion narcissus brought $2
per 100, with Princeps at $2.50 and $3,
and Golden Spur an<l Horsfleldii at $4
per 100, Poeticus made $1.50 per 100.
Tulips realized— singles $2 to $3 per 100
and doubles $4. Violets were very plen-
tiful. Best grades brought 50c. per 100,
extra singles and doubles making 60c. :
lily of the valley, too, was very abundant
at $1.50 to $4. Mignonette, in good sup-
ply, went a little slowly at $1 to $l-.50
per 100, extra grade making $2.
Cut lilies sold very well at $1.50 a doz-
en, but on Saturday afternoon, when the
supply ran a little sliort, $2 was obtained
tor quite a few. Callas brought $10 per
100,
The disagreeable weather cut off busi-
ness to the amount of from $50 to $200
a day at each store, according to the va-
rious estimates.
Among plants lilies went very well.
Crimson Rambler roses, hydrangeas, aca-
cias, nietrosideros and marguerites seem
to constitute the stock of most of the
stores this week, allot these plants going
slow. Azaleas, buli:>ous stock in pans,
sniall genistas, primiiias, violets and pan-
sies in pots, heaths, lily ot the vaiiey and
such stock sold well. Most of the retail-
ers attribute the leaning ot the demand
toward plants to the sharp increase in
tile prices of carnations. Usually custom-
ers on entering the store inquired the
price of carnations, and without going
further in cut flowers made their pur-
chases of plants.
;ltisthe same story told every Easter
and Christmas of carnation growers in-
juring tliemselves. Ot course the injury
has not l^ecome very apparent as yet, but
it can casil.y be seen by those with a little
foresight. Tliis unnecessar.v boosting of
prices on carnations is bound to result; in
a ver.y light demand for this stock at
holiday times.
Here and There.
The addition to Sutherland's store,
where the new "Koral" letter is being
made, is a very busy place now. Quite a
good-sized workshop has been fitted up,
where four ladies and a man are kepii
steadily at work all thetime making this
popular letter. The letter is made of silk,
and when arranged has more the ap-
pearance of being constructed of flowers
than anything yet put on the market.
The letters have already been made in
white, pink, lavender, purple and yellow,
and any other color desired can be se-
cured at very short notice. A fine new
wire-working shop has also been added,
as well as a nicely furnished private office.

The Easter Business.
On Thursday the wholesale houses
commenced shipping, and by 3 p. m. Sat-
urday all orders both tor shipping and
home trade, had been pretty well filled,
and witli stock that was not pickled.
The supply ot bulbous material, except
Lilium Harrisii, was equal to and more
than the demand required. Carnations
ran tar short ot the call, owing to dark
and rainy weather. Roses were in fair
supply, and when the wholesaler sums
up his business, lie will find that he is
slightly in advance of last ,vear.
The retail trade will about pull out
even, and the flower market willevidentlj'
be at least $2,000 behind. This condi-
tion is due to the weather which was
rainy and dismal, keeping many ot tiie
best bu,yersaway. The market was well
stocked witli plants and cut flowers, but
Ijilium Harrisii in pots were very scarce,
as \\ere azaleas and rf)ses. Hyacinths
nn<l tulips in pots seemed to self well, as
iliit geraniums. There was a very limited
snpjily of Crimson Rambler roses; in fact,
I i)elieve Heur.v Sciiwarz was about the
only one who had these: and I under-
stand he sold the plants at $.5 each, Ro-
bert Murphy's .Sons had a fine lot of cut
General Juciiueminot roses that retailed
at $1 per dozen. Witterstietter was get-
ting $2.50 per dozen for his fnncy'carna-
tioiis — not a bad price, either. But the
greater bulk of the plant sales was at
from 15c. to 25c, each.
Taking the weather ami the earlinesa
of Easter into consideration, I believe all
are well satisfied.
Here and There.
All the seed houses are ver.v busy,
working overtime to fill orders. .7. Chas.
McCuUough lias been on the sick list for
the past tew da.ys and really he is worn
out from overwork.
Walter .Mntt was a recent caller; as al-
ways with Waltei', tr.ade is good.
IB. P. Critchcll aiul Air, Wilson are now
able to sit up a little and are on a fair
way to recovei-y.
A. Sunderbruch's Sons, West Fourth
Street, had a very pretty electrical dis-
play in their window, representing Eas-
ter.
Peterson's "window contained a large
white cross in a setting of Lilium Har-
risii and other Easter flowers which at-
tracted much attention.
The writer, in company with .Julius
Baer, made a flying trip to Richmond,
Ind., last Tuesday, and found the E, G.
Hill Co. rushed getting out orders. The
400-foot experimental house is well worth
a trip to see, and unless I miss my guess,
the firm will have many new things to
sho^w visiting florists next February on
their pilgrimage to Indianapolis. Watch
for their new seedling scarlet and white
carnations, and their improved American
Beauty rose. E. G. Gillett.

Easter Report.
The Easter trade for a good many
years has been more profitalile than that
of other holidays, but the last few years
have demonstrated that tor all the trou-
ble connected with holida.y trade, Easter
included, and the high prices prevailing,
there is very little it any profit left for
the retail dealer, unless he manages to
dispose of all his stock, wliich has not
been the case for several years, as well as
the Easter just passed. The growers and
wholesale florists come out all right; the.y
manage to get rid of all the.y produce
and handle at good prices, because a
good many dealers order everything they
can get hold of, regardless of what they
may be able to do with it, Thehigh price
of cut flowers is no doubt the reason why
blooming plants have sold so v\'ell the
last few .years and are selling better at
tliis time at good prices. No doubt it is
quite a problem to know wliat to order
for holiilay trade, but I should think that
many ot those who have had years ot ex-
perience should know what to do.
Easter tra<le tliis year was good — I will
not say better than ever; but in most
cases satisfactory, although not in every
case up to expectation. The disagreeable
weather during the week, and particu-
larly on Saturday, when it rained al-
most the entire day, had some effect on
business. Prices of some stock were
ratlier high, such as lilies, roses and car-
nations, while bulb stock was ver.y rea-
sonable in price.
Lilies were much sought for by all deal
ers. As it was expected there would be a
scarcity, the growers got good prices,
and the dealers had more than they could
sell. From 12c. to 16c. and even better
was the wholesale figure, and at retail
from $3 to $4 per dozen was realized.
Callas were not much in demand: prices
the same as for L. Harrisii. Roses went
well, American Beaut,y at from $9 per
dozen up: Tllrich Brunner from $;^ up.
Other usual sorts brought from $2 up-
ward. Carnations sold at from 7.5c. up
per dozen, fancy stock at from $1.50 to
$2. At wholesale from $2.50 up per 100.
Bulb stock, such as narcissus, tulips, etc.,
retailed at from 75c. per dozen upward
and was ver.y plentiful. Lily of the valley
brought 75c. per dozen, Violets were in
strniig denianil and scarce.
IMaiits sold rtMiiarkably well, particu-
larly azaleas, geiiist.as. Crimson Rambler
roses and sijira^a. Lilies in pots were
scarce and much called for. Palms were
in fair demand.
The Easter floral displa.v in the Phipps
conservatories in Schenie.v Park is mag-
nificent. Moretlian 2.5,000 people viewed
the exhibition last Sunday. Every one
interested in the flower business should
not fail to see it while it is in perfection.
Tile displa.v in the Alleghen.v Park con-
servatories is also ver.y creditable, Init
on a much smaller scale than seen at
Schenley. E. C. Reineman.
An importation of plantsfrom Belgium
has juat been received at the Boston city
nui>eries. The plants are to be used lii
the displays which have been arranged
tor the Public Garden this Summer. In
the lot are 2,000 roses. An order ot
3,000 more Is at present on its way
across the ocean. In the importation
received are several hundred rhododen-
drons and azaleas. — New England

THE EASTER TRADE.
Easter of 1901 made a record that
will not be forgotten for some time by
the florists of this city, and it is to be
hoped the record made will never be
broken. We had had several rainy days
during the week preceding, and the
weather prophets of the trade took it as
a snre thing that we should have fine
weatherfor Saturday; bnt we know bet-
ter now. Rain coniiiu'iu'ed to fall at 4:30
on Saturday mornin;;. ami as the day
wore on the rain increased in volume.
The wind also increased in force, at times
nearly reaching the velocity of a gale.
It was Sunday noon before the storm
abated much, which was only the more
aggravating, as the time in which to do
business was then practically over.
It is safe to say that many thousands
of dollars have been lost to the trade on
account of the inclemency of the elements.
Plants suffered as much ns cut flowers
did. Many retailers had invested largel.v
in the former stock, knowing that the
trend of Easter business is running more
to plants each year. Transient trade
was practically nil, and what plants were
sold outside of those that had been pre-
viously ordered were disposed of at a
sacrifice. It was hardly a question of
price — the stores were packed with stock
timed to be just right for Easter; much
of it had been forced hard to be ready on
time, and cimld not last more than a day
or two at the longest in the crowrled
store, so that it was better to sell at a
sacrifice than allow the material to go to
waste, though plenty of soft stock, such
as tulips, hyacinths, marguerites, etc.,
had to be thrown away.
At the Plant Market,
To give an idea, of the wholesale
Easter trade, we cannot do better than
commence with that part pertaining to
plants only. That old dilapidated build-
ing desigi'iated as Clinton Market, locat-
ed on Canal Street, near West Street, is
still the (Movent. (Jai'den of this city, and
judging from I 111" little progress making
toward a better mart, it will continue
to be the plant market tor some years to
come. There is one consolation, how-
ever, about this old building — it is near
the ferries and convenient for the Jersey
growers; the rentcharged by the city for
the space is reasonable; two items that
cover a multitudeof inconveniences in the
eyes of the economical plant grower from
across the river. We never saw this
market so well filled at Easter time as it
was on Saturday morning. Every stand
space was taken (something unusual), b,v
4 o'clock liusiuess Avas in full swing, ami
by 5 o'clock the choicer flowering plants
were pretty well cleared out. About 50
growers were represented in the building,
and on the curbstone outside abotit 25 or
30 more growers were selling their plants
from wagons.
The class of stock offered was similar
to that of other years, with the exception
of hyacinths; these latter <lid not seem
so jjlentiful, nor was the i|uality up to
the usual standard. Ciru.ilions, gera-
niums and hydrangeas were of very good
(luality. Hybrid roses were also good,
but not to be Imd in any great (luantity.
Prices realized were about the same as
heretofore. Cinerarias brought $1.50 per
dozen; hybrid roses, $4; azaleas, from $2
to $3.50 each, according to size; carna-
tions, from $3 per dozen upward; hy-
drangeas, from fl to $1.75each; Crimson
Itambler roses, from 75c. to $3 each; spi-
r.-eas,:?4 iienlozen: geraniums.trom $1 to
gn.2."i perilnzen; camlyttdt, $1 per dozen;
marguerites, 50c. each and ujiward;
hyacinths, per dozen $1. Lilies went at
from $3.50 to $G per dozen plan ts,accord-
ing to the uumberof flowerscarried. Nice
plants of double white stocks fetched $1
per dozen, and callas $4 and upward
per dozen.
At Sltli Street Cut Flower Exchange.
The Cut Flower Exchange at 34th
Street, near the East Hiver, is where the
cut-flower business of the day commences.
At ten minutes after 6 o'clock the floor of
the flower market was packed with buy-
ers, and at the opening business looked
very promising. The rain was falling
gently outside, but there was no autici-
Ijation of it continuing all day, and the
flowers in sight were soon cleaned out at
figures satisfactory to the growers. Red
roses were plentiful, principally Ceneral
Jacqueminot; they brought S2 and up-
ward per dozen, short-stemmeil blooms
fetching $1 per dozen. Four dollars per
100 was received for the cheapest carna-
tions and many fetched $5 and $6. Cal-
las brought $1.50 per dozen; lilies from
$1 to ?2 iier dozen, according to quahty.
Daffodils in bunches of 12 went at five
bunches for a dollar; deutzia brought
.'500. a bunch; marguerites, 10c. a bunch;
maidenhair fern and smilax cleared out
well, thotigh no advance was made over
t he regular prices. Business was all over
here before M o'clock, everything had sold
well, and according to the usual state (jf
things, it augured well for a busy day in
the cut-flower trade. The weather man,
however, took a hand in the matter, the
rain came down harder, and by the time
business should have opened in the cut-
flower district, it was apparent that we
were in for a wet day, and the only thing
to do was to make the best of it.
In the 'n^holesale UiBtrlct,
Flowers began to arrive in en(u-
mous qu.a.ntities, no shortages being ap-
parent in any line. American Beauty
roses were luiusually plentiful ; never be-
fore were such (luantities thrown on the
market at any time. Orders at 50c. and
GOe. each had been taken in advance, con-
sequently there were some flowers that
were delivered at these figures; but there
was no holding these prices for the gen-
eral run of the American Beauty. Many
specials were sold at $3 and $3.50 per
dozen; there were also plenty left in the
ice boxes when Sunday afternoon arrived,
and the Easter business was over.
Bride and Briilesniaid roses were in
good supply, but attempts to obtain
fancy prices proved futile. The ruling
figure for the specials was 12e. and 15c.,
20c. being reached in a few instances;
extras brought from 6c. to 10c. ; No. Is,
4c. to 6c. and No. 2s from 2c. to 3c.
The supply proved larger than the de-
mand, and stock diil not clear out.
Ulrich Brnnner and General Jacque-
minot did notcut nitu-li figure iuthe busi-
ness. Red roses Avereiint sought after to
any extent. The last meiilicuird was the
most plentiful; 15c. each was asked for
the best grades down, to 4c. or 5e. for the
shorter-stemmed blooms.
Carnations proved a drug in the mar-
ket. This was entirely unexpected, as it
was generally understood that crops
were off. Ordinary sorts brought from
$3 to $4 per 100, fancy $G to f 10. Red
varieties were the slowest to move, and
more of them were left on hand than of
any other color.
Tulips, daffodils, single narcissus, free-
sia, miguouetti', Roman hyacinths and
daisies were all too plentiful; (juantities
of these flowers were unsold, ami no
efforts were made to advance prices
either; sweet peas also were too plentiful
for the demand, and ordinary values pre-
vailed. Violets could only be handled by
the stores, and 75c. was consiilered a
good price; some few thousands prt)ba-
bly reached a little higher than this, but
a great many went for less; and at noon-
time on Sunday there were still many
thousands in the dealers' hamls, for which
the peddlers were offering $2 and $3 per
1,000. I.ily of the valley, when sold,
brought $2 and $3 per 100, special
grades going a dollar higher. Good lilies
realized $1.50 per dozen, cut or on the
plant; callas brotight from 8c. upward,
the best reacliiug i.'>c.
It is a not ilea hie fact that buyers
iire becoming more critical ibU the time,
particularly in the matter of roses.
Among the .'American Beauty werea good
many showing spots on the outside pet-
als, looking as though they had lieen
sprinkled and left too wet over night.
Such flowers as these were cast out by
purchasers, and if sold at all it was at au
insignificant price. The wholesale houses
kept open all lught Saturday, as is their
custom at holiday times, and closed up
on Sunday afternoon with plenty of
fiowers on hand.
The shipping trade was fairl.v good
with some houses, but did not equal the
volume of former years.
Among the retailers great inconven-
ience was feltin delivering plants, etc., as
the rain was heavy, and ribbon, crepe
paper and other fancy materials soon
spoil if allowed to get wet. Stores de-
pending chiefly on a transient trade suf-
fered severdy, as plants had been bought
freely on speculation.
Tlie disphijs in the larger stores were
remarkable fortheir beauty and elegance.
J. H. Small & Sons' was a marvel. The
arrangement of plants was grand in its
effect. A bank of flowering plants
through the center of the store and
reaching from the floor almost to the ceil-
ing consisted of genistas in the fore-
ground and culminated with a magnifi-
cent plant of Bougainvillea Sanderiana.
.Around the sides of the store, and reach-
ing from the floor clear to the ceiling,
were arranged flowering plants of all the
choicest varieties. The conservatory in
the rear was a mass of lilies, etc. The
illustration accompanying this issue con-
veys a more accurate idea of the beauty
of the display than can any words of
ours.
George Stumpphad beautiful .displays,
both in the interior of his store and in
the windows. In made-up baskets some
pretty effects were created with light-
colored azaleas and adiantums. Some of
the finest Crimson Rambler roses seen in
the city were noticed here.
The view of the window presented by
the illustration shows the small ericas
in frf>nt, backed by the Crimson Rambler
roses, cytisus and lilies.
Hodgson also had a very beatitiful dis-
play. The view shown was taken from
the doorway and reveals the uianychoice
I'aster jilauts distinci euotigh so that no
nuMition of them is lu-cessary here. Alex.
McConnell had a magnificent array of
plants, including some mammoth bou-
gainvilleas. To accommodate the large
plant trade, an annex was made of a
wareroom near 44th Street and Fifth
Avenue. This, as well as every available
spot in the store, was filled with flower-
ing plants of all descriptions.
The illustration given of Wadley &
Smythe's store shows but a portion of
the interior. Lilies, botigainvilleas, aza-
leas, rhododendrons and the yellow erica,
E. Ca\'endishii, were to be seen in profu-
sion. The window display of this firm
was one of the most tasteful in the city.
Ericas, Japanese maples, flowering cher-
ries, lily of the valley, azaleas, lilies, etc.,
were blended in such an artistic manner
that it formed one of the most pleasing-
windows seen in New York this Easter.
After Easter,
Usually the few days succeeding
Easter Sunday are very busy ones with
the trade. Society folks have been fast-
ing, and a crop of weddings as well as
other social functions are dated for
Easter week. This year, however, has
proveil an exce]ttiou; although there is
evidence of several large i'\'ents for the
coming week, there has been a pronotuiced
quietness in the ti'ade up to the present.
Violets left over on .Sunday have been
disposeil of to the peddlers; many thoti-
sands have been thus cleared out at $2
per 1,000. The market at presentis clear
of accumulated stock, and as the output
seems to have diminished considerably
we may look for better results in prices,
particuhirly now as the weather is more
settled.
Roses of all descriptions have suffered
considerably in value. .Special .American
IJeaut.v are freely offered at 10c. and 15c. ;
the same grade of Bride and Bridesmaid
at 8e. No. 2 grades of all roses can be
had at $1 and $1.50 per 100; Ulrich
Brnnner of best quality at $1.50 per
dozen. Clearances of any kinds are out of
the question except at a sacrifice.
Carnations have got down to $1 and
$2 per 100 for ordinary sorts, and there is
more tluiii enough to go round. Mrs. G.
.M. Bradt and other fancy kinds are not
so iilentiful and bring about $4 per 100.
Lilies are plentiful and various figures
are quoted, some as low as 4c. and for
the best about 8c.
For maidenhair fern 7oc. will be the
sttindard value for some weeks, as plenty
of this stock has been contracted for at
that figure. Tulips, daffodils and narcis-
sus are a comjjlete drug on the market.
Lily of the valley is abundant, as also are
sweet peas, marguerites and pansies.
These are sold by the btmch at almost
any price the buyer wants to give up.
club Meeting.
But a small attendance was pres-
ent at the club meeting Monday evening
last, the majority of the members no
doubt recuperating from the arduous la-
bors consequent on Easter. The prelim-
inary schedule for the Autumu show was
distributed. Copies may be had of Sec-
retary Withers, 130 Liberty Street. The
Outing Committee hope to submit a prop-
osition at next meeting. Mr. Herring-
ton read a most interesting paper on his
recent jourueyings in southern Europe,
which w;is greatly enjoyed. .Not the least
entertaiuiug portion of his remarks were
those descriptiveof .MnuteCarlo's ('asino.
"The accompanying photographs were
also an instructive feature of his paper.
It is given in full in this issue. A vote of
thanks was tendered the speaker.
The Ways and Means and Exhibition
committees will meet in the club rooms
Tuesday evening, April 23. A full attend-
ance at this meeting is earnestly requested.
An Exhibition.
On Wednesday the regular meeting
of the American Institute was held at
the Berkeley Lyceum. Dr. F. M. Hexa-
mergave a short talk on culinary aspara-
gus, and in the course of his remarks em-
phasized the fact that applying salt to
established b.^ds was of no benefit what-
ever. C. L. Allen spoke on the small vege-
table garden, and told how and when to
sow to have a succession of vegetables
for the table throughout the season. On
the exhibition tables specimens of violets
from G. T. Schunemann, Baldwins, L. I.,
plants of cvtisus from G. Hale, Seabright,
N. J., mixed flowering plants from H. A.
Siebreeht & Son, and a few pots of the
Glen Mary strawberry from C. E. Hunn,
Ithaca, N. Y.
Immediately following the meeting of
the American Institute, the Horticultural
Society of New York convened. Secre-
tary Barron read the list of prizes to be
offered at the forthcoming show to be
held at the Bronx Park Botanical Gar-
dens on May 8 and 9. The prizes are
offered jointly b.v the Bronx I'ark Botan-
ical Garden and the Hiu'ticultural Society
of New York. A full list of them appears
in another coltimn, and on perusal they
will be found to be very liberal. The
awarding of the same will be done under
the supervision of the society, the Botan-
ical Garden authorities conceding this
privilege.
H. W. Gibb(uis read a paper on "Green-
house I'.iuldingand Equipment," illustrat-
ing his remarks with dra^wings. From
the sjieaker's statements it was shown
that the lightest house is an even-span,
running north and south. For all-round
purposes a combination of iron and wood
construction material was recommended.
Locust posts are preferable to iron. Gulf
cypress lumber is better than that pro-
cured from any other source; kiln-dried
lumber is no good, as the preservative
qualities, stich as the sap and oil, are all
lost in the drying process. Metal gutters
.should be of cast iron; 20 per cent, of
zinc should be added to paint for interior
work, as the zinc helps to keep down fun-
gus in high and moist temperatures. An
angle of 35 degrees is the best pitch for a
roof. The cost of all iron against the
iron and wood combination house is $3
more per running foot, and steam heat
can be installed 15 per cent, cheaper than
can hot water.
At the Florists' Club meeting on Mon-
day night A. Herrington, Madison, N. J.,
exhibited a bunch of the Barberton daisy
(Gerbera Jamesoni), a native of the
Transvaal. The flower resembles the
marguerite in form, but is much larger
and almost a pure red in color. The Ex-
hibition Committee decided that it was a
valuable acquisition either for private or
commercial culture, and granted acertifi-
cate of merit.
Lager & Hurrell showed a LiElio-cattleya
seedling plant in bloom for the first time.
The flowers are of a delicate pink color,
with ,1 deep II ise-pink blotch in the throat
and just the faintest tinge of .yellow nearer
the center. The plant is the result of a
cross between La'lia elegansand Cattleya
Mendelii. The committee gave this ex-
hibit an honorable mention.
Auction Sales.
The plant auctions of Wm. Elliott &
Sons and Cleary & Co. have been well
attended this week, and brisk sales have
resulted. Both hardy stock and flower-
ing plants were offered and brought satis-
factory prices.
An Orchid Sale.
Sander & Co.'e annual Spring sale
of orchids will be held in Cleary & Co.'s
auction rooms, 60 Vesey Street, on Fri-
day, April 19, commencing at 12; 30 p.m.
Many choice and beautiful species will be
offered, as well as many hybrids, Epiden-
drum vitellinum autumnalis, eattleyas,
dendrobiums, la-lias, among them L.
Yula and I... .Jongheana and others.
Also amaryllis hybrids and Dracaena
Godsefflana.
Jottings.
A. F. Schraeder, Newtown, L. I., in-
haled some of the dust while using Slug
Shot in the greenhouse, and suffered
symptoms of poisoning from the effects.
Antidotes had to be administered to re-
lieve him. He was quite sick for several
days, but is now well again.
J. H. Eisenberg, of Long Island City,
had his greenhouses burglarized and
2,000 carnations stolen from the plants
on the night of Friday, March 29. The
thief appeared again on the night of the
1st of April. Mr. Eisenberg was on the
watch and emptied Ave chambers of his
revolver at the marauder as he was es-
caping— missing him at every shot. Ei-
senberg calls himseh' a first-class April fool
for missing.
W. H. Brower & Sons, retailers, near
23d Street and Broadway, will move on
May 1 to the store No. 946 Broadway.
This is almost opposite their present loca-
tion, where the Browers have been in
business continuously for the past 38
years.
.\fter an illness of scarlet fever, Carrie,
the seven-year-old daughter of Frank H.

The Easter Trade.
Although iiothiug phenomenal,
every one seems to be well satisfied with
this "Easter's trade. A careful canvass of
the principal stores would sccui to indi-
cate that the volume of bii.^iness was H.)
to 15 per cent, better than last year, or
equal to the best of the previous Easters.
The exodus to spend the Easter season in
New Yoi'k was again very heav.y, but it
does not seem to have affected the trade
to such an extent this year as formerly,
the reason probably being that the
masses are taking up the custom, and
this will no doubt effectually deter the
classes.
The weather on Saturday was favora-
ble, as compared with the deluge of rain
which has, with the exception of that
(lay, been tailing steadily for the past
two weeks, and still continues. A very
great deal of the delivery hart to be done
by hand, many of the .streets being im-
passable for vehicles carrying flowers.
Even now many complaints oi damage
(luring delivery are reported.
The principal trade was done in plants,
of which for churches,lilies were easily the
favorites, followed by white lilacs and
spirjea.. P'or house decoration those who
had small, well-grown plants of Crimson
Rambler roses declare they were the fa-
vorites, followed by lilies and colored
jilants of azalea, pots of sjjriug bulbs,
hydrangeas and lily of the valle.y in pots.
For cut flowers colored carnations of
the finer grades were in great demand.
Ouriousl.y, whites are reported to have
sold slowly. Violets went freely; so did
cohjred roses. Here again whites did not
move as ciuickly as was expected. There
was also a brisk demand Uiv bulbous
stock of all kinds as cut flowers. Prices
were just about the average, or a trifle
below the price usually obtained at this
season.
As regards the size of plants, well-
grown specimens in 5 and 6 inch pots, or
preferably half pots, were the most
in demand; large specimens sold slowly.
The popular price would be from §1 to
$2. Jjilies were in plentiful supply, but
man.v were not of the highest grade.
Owiiig to the failure of the local supply
of L. Ilarrisii through disease and the ex-
treme cold preventing many longiflorum
from being in on time, numbers of plants
were imported. A large percentage ol
these showed signs of very heavy forcing,
staking in many cases liehig imperative.
■Spira'a was in large suiiply, the plants
being very fine. .Some stores report that
this jilant is getting a little too common,
and anticipate a decline in its popularit.v.
Azaleas were in abundance, but appar-
ently their particular season is at Christ-
mas. Lilacs were good and scarce and
sold well. Hybrid and Crimson Rambler
roses were also in under suppl.y; hydran-
geas likewise. Genistas, marguerites and
heliotriipe were also seen, and when good,
sold well. The same may lie said of
ever.\'tiiing; the g 1 stock sold on sight,
wliiie everything inf(M-i(»r was left.
Ijittle attenqit was nnide atstore deco-
ration, all available space being tilled
with plants. Genernll.A' the stores ar-
ranged the plants indiscriniinately. Uen-
nett, however, kept each variety sepa-
rate, as he considers this method facili-
tates imrchasers' choice.
New§ Notes.
\. Martin has rented the Davidson
place at Cote St. Paul, ami will com-
mence renovating the houses immediately.
Club Items.
The meeting was called Monday
night expressly for the purpose of decid-
ing the chrysanthemum show question.
An exhibition will be held next Fall as
usual. A letter of acknowledgment from
the Home Secretar.y was re.id, in answer
to the club's letter of condolence on the
death of our late Queen. A resolution of
condolence was also passed expressing
sympathy with George Copland in the
bereavement he has suffered through the
sudden death (jf his daughter. A paper
was read by .Jos. Bennett on carnations,
and also a paper by .J. Gammage & Sons,
Loudon, on the same subject. Messrs.
Gammage consider the leading varieties
to be Mrs. T. W. Lawson, The Maniuis,
Mar.v Wood, Glacier, White Cloud,
Kosy Morn and Expectant. Mr. Bennett
enipliMsizeil the remark that the carna-
tions exhibited at the late show that
had been cut from the plants lasted 50
per cent, better than the flowers which
had been broken off. George Robinson
read an interesting paper on cinerarias.
Jos. Bennett had on exhibition a vase of
Veitch's long-spurred hybrid aquilegia,
which was greatly admired. The plant
forces well and also Is perfectly hardy.

Easter Report.
Three drizzling, rainy days explain
the Easter weather, but the weather cut
no figure when it came down to business.
.\ fair estimate of the Easter trade in this
city is 3.T percent. Ji head of that of former
years. The stock of plants was very
large and appeared rather out of propor-
tion to the size of the city, but it was
not, as everything sold out. C. Scrim had
a grand lot of azaleas of all sizes, very
good roses, lilacs, rhododendrons, heaths,
etc., and some very fine hydrangeas.
Graham Bros, had a magnificent lot of
liUes, good azaleas, spiraeas and bulbous
stock. R. Wright had a large stock of
liUes and other bulbous flowers and
some fine genistas and hydrangeas.
As usual, azaleas and lilies sold far
ahead of anything else. Rosescame next
and some good rhododendrons and lilacs
were quickly snapped up. Prices were,
if anything, better than last year's, and
there was a demand for larger and better
plants. Large azaleas were soon cleared
out. The average price of azaleas was
from $1.50to|i2; large ones, $3 to $3. 50;
lihes, $1 to SI. 50; roses, 75c. to $1; rho-
dodendrons, $2.50. Genista was the
only stock that might be called slow.
In cut-flower sales there was an in-
creased demand. Carnations were the
only things scarce. In roses there was
the' largest and finest cut that we have
ever had at Easter, A 1 stock, and all of
it sold.
Prices varied from $1.50 to $2.50. Vio-
lets were in fair supply, but only second
class. More could have been sold. Lily
of the valley was in large quantities of
good quality and sold well.
To help receipts along it was quite a
funeral week.
Lilium giganteum seems to be a good
thing to depend on.
Scrim and Wright each opened a sec-
ond store for the week, and the business
done showed the move a wise one. E.

After Easter.
The rush of the Easter trade is past
and every one is glad of it. The weather
was somewhat unfavorable, being rainy
on Friday and very cool and chilly on
Saturday and Sunday ; however, it might
have been worse.
The bulk of the sales were of plants.
Azaleas, Crimson Rambler roses, lilies,
bulbous stock and most anything
sold well. Some extra fine rhododen-
drons, marguerites and combination
arrangements also went satisfactorily.
Prices ranged about the same as last
year's. Some market people complain
about lower prices, while others received
good figures. Market sales began slow
on Saturday on account of the nasty
weather, but as it cleared up business
came with a rush, and by night the best
stock was cleared out. Plants by far
outsold cut fiowers. Ver,y little stock
was shipped in. The experience of past
seasons with the commission houses made
all dealers careful. In cut flowers fewer
roses were handled. The sale of carna-
tions must have been enormous, every
grower saving up his stock for the occa-
sion. A big call was experienced for vio-
lets, with the supply limited. Daffodils
were a decided drug on the market, also
tulips to some extent.

While business can be put down as
Drst-class all around, considerable stock
was still available after the rush. If the
weather had been more propitious a bet-
ter run of prices would have prevailed
and everything would have cleaned up.
Wholesale values were kept somewhat
stiff by local growers, especially on car-
nations, the suijply not being overplenti-
ful, but stuck lirst-class.
NotliiiiK' extra can be mentioned of
church decorations; not very much in
that line is done here during Easter.
More Harrisii and longiflorum lilies
were in bloom than usual, and most all
were sold. There was not much call for

The Easter Story,
The story mn.v now bo tolil, ;uiil if
not a record-breaker all along the line, it
come? close to it. It is bard to compare
with years gone by, because greatly in-
creased glass surface means an a<l(led
■output year b.v year.
Commencing on Thursday a vast quan-
tit.y o! stock came in, increasing daily up
to Satunlay. .Vll the wholesalers had ex-
tra lielp,and needed it. Boxes came in by
.the wagon load, with buyers hustling
around to get what they wanted. On
Thursday and Friday, the big shipping-
days, work undone in the da.vtime was
carried on up to midnight. Bassett &
Washburn and many others make up
orders at their greenhouses, but none of
these orders ever appears in the open
market.
Nick Wietor says their business went
ahead ot that ot Christmas.
Prices of all good stock of roses, carna-
tions and lilies went above rather than
below those indicated in -my last week's
letter as likcl.v to rule. Saturda.v night
saw a fairly cleared Held. Even of bulb-
ous stock an enormous i|uantity was
disposeil of, but not at fanc.v prices.
Frank Garland, one of our principal
growers of tins class of stock, who has
just opened a wholesale depot, says he
took in several hundred dolhirs more
during the week than he autieipated,
knowing the quantity to come into the
market.
As compared to Christmas the advanced
season is responsible for a day, bringing
lots of buds into opeu flower. This ^vas
particularly true of belated lilies, and
even roses and carnations seemed to push
right out, to the delight of the growers.
What was not read,y for Satimlay came
in for Sunday morning, when again stacks
arrived, and what the regular tlorists did
not take tlic peildlrvs punliased.
.\notlier illnstraticin: After Chri.stmas
the houses and stoi-es ai-c li;ire for a, few
days, but Sund;iy and .Mouilay witnessed
little let-u]j. Tlieaiiini;il tlowershow of the
Common Council, with (_'arter Harrison
again in the chair to be inaugurated Mon-
day night, provided an additional outlet.
There was a big demand for American
Beauty roses of the higher grades, and
shorts of these and teas were fairly
suaijped up. Lilies in pots, of best quali-
ty were none too plentiful and sold cait
well. The same can be said of cut
stock; but lots of criiiples were in evi-
dence. These sold low and are still
around, with quantities of callas.
;;Violets were erratic; earl.y in the week
the flowers were a drug and sold on the
streets at 5q. per bunch. For all that a
prime article went fairl.y well at 75c. to
$1 per 100, probably half of all that came
in bringing as low as -tOc. to 50c. Crabb
& Hunter, of Grand Rapids, Mich., sent
in great quantities of violets in G-inch
pans, which sold readily at $20 per 100,
wholesale. Never before were so many
in this market.
Roses, after all, were in good supply,
and carnations by the tens of thousands.
Such kinds as Mrs. T. W. Lawson, The
Marquis, G. H. Crane, Mrs. George M.
Bradt, Chicago, White Cloud aiul Marv
Wood held well, $5 to $6, the best stand-
ards bringing $3 to $4, common at $1.50
to $2.
Taken all in all, the wholesalers and
growers are abundantly satisfied.
Among the Retailers,
Preparation had been made for a
big trade, and so far as we can learn at
this writing few were disapijointed.
Some depended mainly on cut flowers.
Others on plants, a. combination of both
being more general, l^lantscertaiidy are
gaining in popularit.y hei'e, from the
cheap pot of bulbs to the elaborate built-
up arrangement of baskets, staiuls, etc.
Crfpe anil rildions were used, but not be-
yond iisef\ihK'SS, in setting off the pieces.
WienhieberlLMd a grandlot of plants and
flowers. Samuels' two stores were fllled
to repletion, including some fine ('rimson
Rambler roses. .Mangel had extra large
azaleas. A aiighan's windows were given
over to plants, among tliem a, lot of nice
heaths: but these latter did not go well.
Lauge had plants insideand out. .\nder-
son made a very showy window. We
must leave others until later.

mayor and 70 aldermen, with every seat
remembered by the "const-its," with
some half a dozen set pieces to a chair, it
means a big use of flowers, a ftood clear-
ing of everything not wanted for Easter
itself, and brings grist to the florists'
mill, even if some of the pieces hardl.v de-
serve the name of works ot art. 'There
\vere some huge bunches of American
Beauty roses, the Tuscarora Club alone
sending 2't dozen; floral arches, banks,
ladders, flags, harps, stars, broom and
i-oiister, a sHiffcd gray wolf, coming out
of a lien, big baskets, horseshoes, a seven-
foot-lngil fi-aiiu' on easel, with immense
.\Ialtesi' ci-dss HI c-eutcr, sliields, scrolls,
.'J-foot hearts, Titanic inkstand and read-
ing desk, a tower to represent sti'ength,
are a few of the wonderful designs. 'I'he
chamber was certainly a bower of flowers,
jf not of beauty.
The News.
A majority vote'of the people permits
South Park to raise $500,000 in bonds
and finish .Tackson Park.
.J. W. Crisniore, taxidermLst, of Lincoln
Avenue, has gone into the preparation
of doves fi>r florists' use.
L. Co.atsworth. of F. F. Benthey & Co.,
is in New Castle, Ind., superintending the
building of the new greenhouse plant.
Carl Clropp, of ^'aughall's seed store,
has returned from his trip to the Pacific
coast.
Among Growers.
Mrs. A. Shafer, Bowmanville, h,id
a splendid crop ot carnations for Easter.
Evanston was a blaze of color at the
time of our visit. Flora. Hill is also a
great favorite here. G. H. Crane was a
forest of buds, but hardl.y in time for
Easter. Tidal Wave and Lizzie McGowan
were well in flower, but neither these nor
William Scott will be grown so extensive-
ly hereafter. She has 70,000 ready to
plant out, requiring about l.S,000 tor
housing next Fall. Of these the main
varieties will be Evanston, G. H. Crane,
Mrs. Frances .Joost, The jlarquis and
Flora Hill, with others in smaller quan-
tities. John Keding has been the grower
liere some years. Ess.
Advertising is ceasing to be a matter
of sentiment; it is business. Merehants
have quit advertising for the fun of it. or
because the fellow who solicits it is a
good fellow and needs help. They adver-
tise to get trade.— Winchester (,Ky .) Dem-
ocrat.
The foregoing statement is generally
true, though the "good fellow" who
needs "help," or says he does, while a
back number, is not entirely extinct.
Advertisers in The Florists' Exchanoe
are Bolicited tor their patronage simply
and solely on the basis ot value received;
and they get it.

WATER
If you want water only when

will do your work and cost
^^^^^^^^^^^^^Z^^^^ l^ss money than our Rider &

if you want water every day while your flowers are growing and
do not want your pump blown down when the wind blows too
hard, no pump in the world can equal ours. We have sold about
20,000 of them during the past twenty-five years, which is proof
that we are not making wild statements.
Our catalogue "X" will tell you all about them. Write

i m STANDARD DUPLEX METAL GUTTERS
TT S with our battleships and almost every other valuable invention, the
•^^A would-be and pretending all-wise offer to criticise and con-
V® demn them long before they are able to prove their efficiency.
But such wise judges are, as a rule, relegated to the deep, dark and
fathomless sea of ignorance, and are
the laughing-stock for the wiser and
truer judges.
Just so with the Duplex Gutter. It will
get its rewards by such judges long
before it will be able to prove its superi-
ority over the other makes that confront
it at present. Remember, I make a
gutter to suit the ideas of my customers
and not one of flimsy sheet steel, as you
are made to believe by some guessing
their story.
I furnish them in the following metals :
■ Steel, wrought iron, east iron, copper,
or zinc, all at nearly as low a price as
cast iron, and of some of these materials
at only half the cost of cast iron. I will
guarantee them as durable as any other
make, with more perfection and much
stronger construction. I claim nothing
for my gutter that reflects upon any
other make ; they all have certain merits.
PLEASE NOTICE THE QUESTIONS FOLLOWING: How long will
a cast iron gutter last if made in 5-foot sections, and erected upon a 2-inch
pipe made out of three-sixteenths-inch steel sheeting ? (Pipe is usually
made out of that material.)
How long will a house last that is held together with steel wire, when its
life is only five years ? (As stated in an advertisement.)
All well-informed persons know better, and will see at once that a man
who will condemn his own material to injure others is either running from
the enemy or dreadfully seared. If
my gutter is as poor as it is said
to be by competition it needs no free
advertising.
Why do we not build cast iron bridges ?
Because they would not last long enough
and because they would fall of their
weight unless on a continuous pier. We
build them of steel and iron, and still you
are informed that steel lasts only live
years.
Take a piece of steel plate one-fourth
inch thick and suspend it in your green-
house and see how long it will last.
This is the thickness of our angle gutter,
upon which the greenhouse is con-
structed.
It cast iron gutters will stand fifty
years on gas pipe, my gutter will stand
longer, when it is made of as heavy
and heavier metal, which it is, and not
in the earth as the pipe is upon which
the cast iron gutter holds its life. Think for yourselves, gentlemen, and
you can readily see where the shoe pinches.
Send for my catalogue and read common sense reasons that are
not disputable.

Oceanic, N. J.
At the ri'gulnrscnii-nionthly meeting of
the Monmouth County Horticultural So-
ciety, held on Friday evening, 5th inst.,
Ijconard r.arron, editor American Gar-
dening, addresse{l the society upon the
subject,"How to Manufacture Novelties."
The lecture proved to be one of the most
interesting an<l instructive ever given
uniler the ausijices of the organization.
The subject of hybridization was treated
from a scientific standpoint; theories
were advanced to prove that floriculture
was on the verge of becoming revohition-
izeil. Mr. r.arron useil l.uthcr P.urliank's
experiments as an ex;uni>le of the liybrid-
ization of distinct species, which was,
until the present time, believed to be an
impossibility. This brought forth such
a discussion as was never heard before in
this society. Several skeptics could not
be convinced, and they agreed that if dis-
tinct species or species that are com-
monly considered distinct were capable
of hybridization, they must have been in
time past somewhat related.
Mr. Barron was given a rousing vote
of thanks for his masterly disposition of
the subject. A fine collation was served
after the meeting.

THE
ORIGINAL
Garland Valley^Gutter and Drip Conductor
The Gutter is the Foundation of the House.
No bolt holes or other undesirable
connections to hold moisture
and rot off bars.
Sash bars do not have to be mutilated
and made to carry the gutters,
but vice versa.
IT has stood a ten-year test, and I can warrant that it will last fifty years longer. Will outlast one dozen
galvanized or steel gutters, as steel is the poorest material for greenhouse use. No breakage of
glass by frost or ice. Only seven inches of shade in December. No drips from condensation when
proper humidity is maintained within. No wires to hold bars to gutter; wires are for supporting ridge
pole without using ridge pole posts.
Simplest and easiest to erect; never sags or gets out of line. Made in my own foundry, of No. 1
Lake Superior Cast Iron. Do not make a mistake by putting in untested devices, but get into the Band
Wagon with the successful growers who have tested tlie Garland Iron Gutter and Drip Conductor.

The Government Seed Contract. —
The New York. lonrnal on April 12 pub-
lishes, on the reported authority of the
Wholesale Seedsmen's League, allegations
regarding irregularities in tlieinctliixis of
the Seed Division of the Dcpailmi'iit of
Agriculture in the carrying out of this
year's seed contract. .Short-weight pack-
ages and substitution are among the
alleged charges. The work of distribu-
tion will bo completed in about 10 days,
wlicn. we are informed, full reports from
all the otflcials charged with the work
will be demanded by Secretary Wilson,
and tlie facts presented in a report that
will go to the country.
Easter has gone and left behind it some
empty spaces on the benches, and it be-
hooves the florist who handles chrysan-
themums in any quantity to utilize "some
of thi.s space for his stock. If the stock
plants are crowded into some dark cor-
ner, you cannot expect them to produce
anything but weakl.v, long-jointed cut-
tings. You may think to ymirself lliere
isn't enough money in clir.vsaulheinnms
any more to go to mucli trouble with
them, but you will note it is generiilly
the man with the poorest stock who does
the most complaining .-iliout prices.
(iive your stock pl;\iits a good, airy
house with a temperature of about .^O
degrees, and encourage them with a light
top-dressing of good soil or a little li(|uid,
and they will respond immediati'ly,
throwing up a crop of good, healtli.v ctit-
tiiigs. If cuttings are rooted this month
they can be stopjied once, and two or
three shoots taken up as desired. Of
course, for the largest flowers single-stem
plants are the best. For ordinary com-
mercial work the cuttings are generally
taken off during May or .Tune, and for
late work even as late as August. Cut-
tings root freely in almost anything that
is gritt.y and will hold moisture, sand,
coke dust or fine screene<l aslies being
probabl.y the best media. M'e always
use sand, as it is easy to obtain and is
sure to lie satisfactory. Use only sucli
cuttings as are ready, by which I mean
cuttings from 2i/o to 3 inches in leng'th,
large enough to make plants in a short
time. .\s soon as the cuttingsare rooted
they sliDUld be jiotteil up into nice light
soil. Diin't let them stay in the sand until
they begin to grow. If you do, they will
run up weak and sjiindly right awa.v, a
condition you want to avoid if possible.
Keep the .voung plants growing vigor-
ously from the first it you would attain
the best results.
Toward the end of this month the cold
frame is the best place for young stock.
There it will, if kept properl.v sujiplied
\\itli w;tter, make clean, short-pointed,
sturd.v growth, and be in ideal condition
for planting out on the benches. A tlust-
over occasionally with tobacco dust will
keep down the black fly, which is about
the only insect that infests the chrysan-
tlienuim until the Summer is well under
A\ay, when the caterpillar and grasshop-

Mention the Flortsta' Exchange whan wrltlnc.
per and others commence to get in their
fine work.
The question of soil for the benches
should receive attention in good season.
Tlie best results are, of course, obtained
where good flbr.v sod h.is been stacked
up for a time and mixed with one-fourth
its bulk of fresh cow manure. This, when
rotted somewhat .-md turned over, is a
fine soil for chry.santheinums. If your
soil and water are deficient in lime a lib-
eral dose should be added, and if the
loam is very close and heavy, mix plenty
of good sharp sand with it. This will be
found a great help during a spell of wet
weather, when, if the soil be heavy and
wet, the rust and leaf diseases will'start
in and flourish .amazingly. Of course,
plants growing inside in benches, have a
much lietter cli.ince than those gi-Dwing
outside, Iiec-iu.se in a spell of wet weather
you can run your houses dry; but it your
soil is heavy and you get caught with
wet benches in a rain.y week, you can be
practicall.y certain that you will be losing
your bottom foliage in a few da.ys.
lORA.
BRIEFS FOR BUSY FLORISTS.
Roses. — With the coming of milder
weather and corresponding longer hours
of sunshine, the rose houses have to be
ventilated much more freely. If due care
be not taken in this respect a dose of mil-
dew is easily acquire<l about this time of
the year. To prevent mildew there is no
better plan than to have the foliage
strong and leather.y by giving plenty of
air on all possible occasions, avoiding
high temperatures and afternoon syring-
ings. Young stock for the coming sea-
son's i)lanting should bein the pots now,
.and if the plants cannot be kept near the
gl.iss in a modi'ratel.v cool house they
would be better placed in a frame out-
doors, providing regular dail.v attention
can be given as regards watering, etc.
Carnations.— The land where the
young carnations are to be grown dur-
ing the Summer shotdd be got into con-
dition as soon as the nature of the soil
and the weather will allow. Make an
effort to i>l;int out as early as possible,
so that a gciod growth can l>e made in
the field before the hot weather arrives.
The fl.'itscontainingthe plants can beput
in the frames any time now and the
glass left off, except when the nights are
likely to be frosty. IMnch the plants Iie-
fore they get too leggy, and when pinch-
ing take out only the lead. There is no
use in cutting the plant down to within
a pair of leaves of the bottom.
Scmmer-Bloomino Lilies.— For pot
work during the Summer months L. an-
ratum, Ij. rubrum, L. album and L. Mel-
pomene all make excellent subjects; and
when tliere is an.v demand for pot plants
through the Summer and early Fall a
collection of these lilies should be grown.
I'ot the bulbs and put them under a
bench until they start growing, then give
them the full light in a cool house, fumi-
gating or spi'aying occasionally with to-
bacco insecticide to keep down aphis.

The San Jose Scale.— The readers of
The Florists' Exchange, especially
those interested in trees, will appreciate
the efforts of the management to get the
opinionsofthe leading nurserymen on the
various topics of the day concerning their
business, and especially on that of the
San Jos6 scale. Following the replies
received, it is evident a universal opinion
prevails that to end the various State
laws, which are many of them confusing
and irritating, a national law should be
enacted. No doubt the subject will come
before the convention of nurserymen to
be hclrl in June, when it is to be hoped
the question of national legislation will
be a leading one and that it will beeor-
diall.T indorsed.
That the State laws have been of bene-
fit there cau be no doubt, as they have com-
pelled inspection and care to keep stock
clean, lessening the spread of the insect.
But though the scale may have been
spread from nurseries in the first place,
it has now to spread it the orchard and
ornamental trees of the country. There
are miin.v orchards suffering from the
pest in which no tree from a nursery has
l»een introduced for years, and many an
.amateur's garden boasting but a tree or
tM'o has scale on those trees.
Landscape gardeners and others who
have a good acquaintance with private
grounds tell us that the scale Is far more
common than most persons have any
idea of. From these trees outside of
nurseries the scale is continually spread-
ing, and how to reach these cases, as well
as those of nurseries, is a great question.
While believing that a national law
should be enacted compelling care in

nurseries, in order that innocent buyers
should not suffer, we have no hesitation
in stating our belief that the scale has
too groat a foothold to be kept in com-
plete check or exterminated by any law.
State or national.
There has been a good deal said about
the scale, and it has done good, getting
the knowledge before the people of what
this pest is, and it will be for individuals
themselves to use this knowledge in com-
bating the enemy should it appear. There
are lots of pests now — borers, blights,
insects, etc. — which have to be controlled,
and the San JosS scale adds one more.
Remedies for the scale are known, mak-
ing the case not nearly as formidable as
it would be otherwise. How to apply
these remedies and when will in time be-
come so well known that the pest wiU
be held in subjection as easily, perhaps,
as the florist now controls the various
insect and fungi pests which are trouble-
some to his greenhouse plants.
Borers in Dogwood (Corn us Flori-
da.)—A letter from a personal friend ask-
ing me what to do to prevent borers des-
troying his dogwood trees leads me to say
a tew words on the subject of borers in
trees. My friend tells me he has lost two
nice specimens of the red-flowered dog-
wood by "what appears to be a borer,
which encircles the bark near the
ground."
There are several ornamental trees sub-
ject to the attack of borers at the base,
among which maybementioned the dog-
wood, mountain ash, European beech,
English hawthorn and European linden.
As soon as it is known that a certain tree
is liable to attack, it should be examined
at once to ascertain if the enemy has
already been at work. Should it appear
that he has, try with a sharp-pointed
knife and piece of wire to dislodge him.
Oil convincing one's self that this cannot
be done, the prevention of attack is the
next thing in order.
Some time ago a correspondent wrote
of wrapping thick brown paper around
the stem a few inches below and a few
above ground. This is an old way, and
it's good as long as the paper lasts, which
is for a season. A little tar smeared on
the outside of the paper serves to keep
vermin away as well. It is said that in
Maryland a favorite wash to keep away
borers is made as follows:
Prepare lime as for ordinary white-
wash. To one gallon of this add half a
pint of gas tar, one pound whale oil
soap and one quart clay or loam. Mix
thoroughly and apply with a brush, re-
moving the soil from around the collar
in early Spring, and washing the trunk
from root to branch with the prepara-
tion.
Still another plan is that of a close-
meshed wire wrapped around the trunk,
with the meshes so small that the parent
borer could not reach the trunk. The
plan of washing as recommended above
seems to be the one most in favor with
fruit growers who have apple trees to
protect.
Whitewashing Trunks of Trees. —
A correspondent writes me that he has
been recommended to wash the trunks of
his fruit trees with a compound consist-
ing of lime, boiled rice and glue, which he
calls "the White Hou.se formula," and
asks me what I think of it. The white-
washing of trees of all kinds near a dwell-
ing is an old custom of Pennsylvania
farmers, the practice springing up, with-
out a doubt, from a desire to "clean up"
outside the house as well as in. The
health of trees so treated was noticeable
years ago, and it led to the pr.actice of
thus washing trees to improve their
health, as well as their appearance.
Years ago, in the horticultural writings
of the late William .Saunders, of Washing-
ton, D. C, were to be found directions for
whitewashing to kill the scale on fruit
trees; and not a great while before his
death, which occurred last year, he again
referred to the utility of the practice, not
only for the killing of the old oyster scale,
but of the newer and more pernicious San
Josf scale as well. Mr. Saunders' wash
was simply lime with a slight mixture of
sulphur, perhaps a teacupful or two to a
bucket of whitewash. He was not alone
in this practice. I myself have known
since my earliest years in a garden that
sulphur was the great antidote for fungi
of all kinds, and so has every other gar-
dener who has been brought up in teh
business. The lime closes the pores of all
insects it touches, and the sulphur kills
all mildews, .and thus there is in sul-
phured white^vash a sure remedy for the
evils that may attack the trunk of trees.

oailied by the lime brusli, and woiikl be

As to the slue and boiled rice which
he corirKpoiident refers to, while I do
lot see thiit it could cause injury, it
\(iuUl not be of as much value as iJ used
n ;t wash intended for hoards, walls or
ir.iil surfaces. It would not adhere to
I ircr trunk to remain acomplete surface.
Vs 1 rees grow, the bark expauds by the
uMition of inside layers of w^ood. This
;iusos fissures iu the bark, permitting- of
111 laying- of eggs and the harboring of
nsri-ts, which would necessitate a coat
uiiiially. There is no doubt the wash

]iciiident suggests, and there seems no
iliji-ction to it.

Mow Evergreens Have Wintered. —
I'll (lie general obsi'rverthe Winter just
lasi was thought to have been a very
;iiiiil one for evergreens, as the cold was
il nil time severe, in this vicinity the mer-
u r,\ registering no lower than 10 degrees
iliove zero. But to those accustomed to
loticing particularly the causes of injury
,0 trees in Winter, the dryness of the soil
md absence of snow^ were sources of much
mxiety. Even these men were unpre-
)ared for the great damage now^ every-
vhere visible. It has been many a year
;ince so many evergreens have been hurt
md so many totally destroyed at this
leasou. Among the kinds suffering- are
lot only sorts partly tender, but even
lative trees, such as hemlock, spruce, red
■edar. Arbor vitm and balsam fir are
)adly harmed. Many forms of Arbor
dtiP, such as Tom Thumb and heath-
eaved, are totally killed, tmless where
(rowing in low ground. English yews,
vhich are considered quite hardy here,
ire hall killed, and many other yews are
ladly hurt. The same is true of rhodo-
lendrons.
The explanation is easy and is one the
vriter has often made. Winter set in
ifter a quite dry Autumn. There was no
:now to prevent the ground freezing. The
■old, though notiutense, was continuous,
lud at times, for days together, a high,
-old wind blew. The result was easy to
oresee, though its exact nature could not
)e predicted because just how much mois-
;ure was in the ground could not be
cnown. The writerhas many times with-
n the past few years called attention to
;he evils to be expected to tullow condi-
;ions like these. In nurseries it is hardly
jracticable to mulch so many trees, as it
would be necessary to do to carry them
through safely, but in the case of every
jne of the trees injured, had a mulching
jl leaves been placed around them, in
jrder to keep the frost out of the ground
ind to maintain a little moisture, in all
probability the result would have been
lifferent. I have often referred to ttie
iase with which rhododendrons may be
wintered when they are mulched and in
<iiiue way sheltered from the wind,
(liuugh the sheltering is of less impor-
tance than the mulching.
this is a favorable time for those inter-
ested to look around and see if they do
not find matters as stated. AVith me, the
evergreens in low ground in a moist loca-
tion are iu much better condition than
are those on higher ground, and wher-
ever a rhododendron was mulched that
frost did not get to its roots, it is in per-
fect condition, while near-by plants not
so provided for have nearly all the foli-
age -' burned " off.
Among the vagaries of the Winter is
thecaseof theEuonymusjapouicus. Very
rarely do these plants pass through a
Winter withoutmore orless injury. Tliis
Spring sees them fresh and green to the
toijmost leaves. Joseph Micehan.
Too Much Light.
Daniel Gorman, the florist, of Williams-
port, Pa., who has been defendant tor
two years in a case iu eciuity growing
out of light reflecteil from his greenhouses,
which, it was alleged, annoyed the plain-
tiffs, is about to begin the construction
jof a big new greenhouse, 100 feet in
length by 50 in width, made necessary
' by his growing business. The settlement
iof the case against him was made on
I terms suggest etl by Mr. Gorman. Ashe
I does not care to build a wall or fence in
front of his projierty, he will either con-
struct another small greenhouse in front
of the one which caused the trouble,
making the angle 70 degrees — when,
according to the architect, there will be
no retiection — or he will change the pres-
ent angle of the glass roof of 45 degrees
to one of;70, thus obviating the diSiculty .
Jamestown, N. Y. — Arriving on a Sat-
urday evening, I found almost every per-
son I met wearing either a carnation or
a rose, and learned that a concern had
handed out several thousands of these
blooms, which were obtained from the
Lakeview Kose Gardens (A. N. Broad-
head, proj^rietor). Chas. H. Roney, the
manager, said such a thing would have
beeu impossible a week previous, when
around Easter the demand exceeded the
supply, although the stock was far in ex-
cess of that of last year and the quality
much improved. The new range will be
devoted to roses on the solid bed plan.
.Several of the older houses will be carried
over the Summer in anticipation of a big-
demand through the Pan-.\merican.
Bride, Bridesmaid, Golden Gate and Me-
teor are all grown on own roots and are
very vigorous. Golden Gate is destined
to become very popular. When well
grown, as it is here, it has a rich, delicate
shade seen in no other rose. The range
of carnation houses erected last Summer
aud planted late have made a good
showing. More than 100,000 square feet
will be devoted to the divine flower next
season, requiring- 175,000 plants. Mr.
Roney tells me lie has 250,000 rooted
cuttings potted oft and in the beds, so he
evidently anticip.ates a big demand. The
plants are in the i)iak of condition and
cudirarr till- popular kinds. ICsti-lli-, G. II.

The Marquis, Mrs. T. W. Lawson, Mrs.

This new block will give a vast area of
glass, but Mr. Broadhead says nothing-
short of 1,000,000 feet wiU satisfy him,
and 'tis quite a distance down to the
beautiful lake which marks the boundary
line.
Richmond, Ind.— The E. G. Hill Co. will
be heard from in the near future with a
collection of new seedling roses that will
create great Interest in the realm of the
queen of {lowers. " After years of pa-
tient manipidation and "watching, " re-
marked Mr. Hill, "I have obtained some
beautiful varieties that are desirable
both for pot and bench culture." The
gem of the collection is No. 29, a seedling
from Americixn Beauty with all the finali-
ties of the parent and minus the one fault
of fading with age. The flower is cupped,
very full and double, and deliciously fra-
grant. The color is difficult to describe,
as there is no other rose like it. That of
Ulrich Brunner is the nearest approach
to it.
A new Lord & Burnham house, 400 x
30 feet, is being built to accommodate
this and other seedling roses, .\nother
fine thing is an offspring from Litta X
General .lacqueminot, also Countess I^a
Bathe X Clothilde Soujjert, a seedling from
La France and a variety named \\'liite
Lady, which is really a lovely shell pink.
These head the extensive list.
Mr. Hill is very conservative in express-
ing himself upon untried varieties, but is
giving several of promise a thorough
trial. It is evident that he has faith in
the lasting popularity of the rose, as tliat
flower has first place in this establish-
ment, although the stock of soft -wooded
plants, particularly geraniums, is fully
up to the usual high standard. Fred
Lemon has charge of this section and re-
ports excellent business.
The new office built to accommodate
an additional staff is overcrowded, and
Miss Hill, the busy lady member of tlie
firm, is agitating for more space — a sure
sign of expansion.
KoKOMo, Ind.— "He laughs be.st who
laughs last,'' said Walter W.Coles when
a visiting coufrfrre told him his pet house
of Kaiserin Augusta Victoria would not
be in at Easter. When I called on the
5th I found him cutting magniflccnt
blooms by the armful. Mr. Coles has a
side bench of Ethel Crocker which has
beeu, next to rei-n, the best carnation lie
has had this season.
Cincinnati, O. — T. A. Peterson wished
Easter had been St. Patriclc's Day, so far
as h.vdrangeas were concerned; a fine lot,
never finer, but green, very green. All
other stock was just right ami sold well.
He intends devoting more time and space
to the cutting of foliage plants, feeling as-
sured there is a w-ide field for such in tliis
vicinity. Sunderbruch Bros., Hardcsty,
with several others, report good business,
and tlie stall holders in the market did a
land ollicc rush. lien George, of George &
-Vllan, and who has been connected here
for many years, notes a greater call for
cheap stock and iu larger quantity, al-
though doubtless had there been any
supply of American Beauty they would
have sold. W. M,

Easter Trade.
Easter week in all was very pleas-
ant. It opened fair, but on Tluirsilny a
heavy snow storm struek us, ami tlnn.i;s
Iniiked squally Friday. Saturday and
Siniday, though, were Summer days.
Trade'was about loper cent, better than
lust year's. To be sure, something was
left over, but the market was heavily
stocked. Plants took the lead and some
ver.y pretty things were seen. As was e.x-
peeted lilies turned out short, and by Fri-
day night several of the stores had to
shut down. A grand lot of azaleas was
offered and cleaned out pretty well,
about S."> being the average price, with a
tew good ones at ?.s ami >:io. Crimson
Rambler roses were c|uite abundant, bvit
only the best sold. A few good hybriils
also found ready sale. Lilacs were grand
and sold at a satisfactory price. Plant
baskets proved very popular, the iirice
ranging from $8 to 11.5.
In cut flowers a good trade was done;
they showed up in good (|uantities Satur-
day, l)Ut Sunday morning being bright
the market was well cleaned up. Ameri-
can lleant.v and violi'ts took the lead,
fanc.v carnations perliajis beiug next in
favor. Not so much bulbous stock was
offered as in other years, but I guess it
wasn't missed.
On Easter Monday the largest recep-
tion of the season was given and called
for a good-sized decoration; hundreds of
Auu'ricau Peauty, The JlarquLs carna-
tion and daffodils were used. The deco-
rations were by the I'ark Floral Co.
P. Scott.
Grand Rapids.
Echoes of Eaater.
The weather conditions the past
week were peculiar— cold uights, it being
as low as U degrees, then a bright sun-
shiny day followed by one rawand bluster-
ing, with wind and gales and rain or snow
for Saturday's weather indications. It did
rain during the night and until about 10
o'clock, when ir, cleared off for a fine day,
lacking sunshine, and making deliver.es
easy, as plants did not have to be wrapped.
Business was in volume about the same
as last year, with carnations remarkably
scarce, and many of those obtainable were
of but medium quality Koses were equal
to the demand and good, bringing 50c.
more than the ordinary best, which sold
for $1.25 to $1 50 per dozen. American
Beauty were scarce at from $1. .50 for shorts
to $7 per dozen for fine long-stemmed
flowers. Violets were plentiful, and there
was any quantity of bulb stock, which
sold well, but there was too much of it.
Hyacinths, tulips and daffodils in pans,
at 25c. to Stc. each, sold freely. Lilies
were the plants, and they just jumped.
There were not enough good lilies to go
round, and this helped the sale of small
flowered short plants with one or two-
flowers and three to Ave buds, which went
at 15c. per bud and flower. Everything
counted. As predicted, a large percentage
of the lily crop missed Easter ; in conse-
quence, there are plenty of lilies now.
Crabb & Hunter rented a downtown
store for the sale of potted plants only,
and did a heavy business. Lilies, of
course, sold best, the cut blooms realizing
$2 per dozen.
Azaleas are more popular than ever as
Easter plants, while hydrangeas and
spiraeas are not wanted at all, no matter
how fine or how cheaply offered. Palms
and ferns did not .seem to be in the usual
demand.
The volume of trade was about the same
as last year; everybody did a good business.
More good lilies could have been sold.
Roses and carnations sold out close. Cfir-
nations brought 60c. to 75c- per dozen,
while it is reported a large dry goods store
sold them at40c. perdozen. Whofur^ ished
them or what their quality was I do not
koow
Just now the weather is glorious, and
we hope tor an early Spring. G. F. C.

The Influence of Incandescent
Lights on Carnation Culture.
An interesting experiment aloii^- this
line has just terminated at tlie Michigan
Agricultural College and tlie results re-
corded in the graduating thesis of the
author of this article. Tlie results ob-
tained weresoremarkablethat the writer
is convinced that furtlier investigation
will prove profitable, and that when the
exact source of the stimulus is located
and the feeding to such plants corrected
to conform to the growth force thus de-
rived, the growing of carnations on a
commercial scale will be greatly revised.
The experiment above referred to w^as
conducted in one of the college forcing
houses, wliich was 20 x 5() feet in size,
even span, running north and south, and
glazed with l()xl4-incli glass. The house
was heated with hot water, the flow pipe
overhead and returns under the Iienches.
The bendi used was in the middle, 6 x ZH
feet by 0 inches deep in size, divided
lengthwise in the center, each h.alf sub-
irrigated, both filled with garden loam
and one fertilized witli decomposed stable
manure and leaf mold and the otlier
with commercial fertilizers. A black dou-
ble russle curtain stretched across tlie
house at night screened the north half,
whidi was liglited by two .32 c. p. lights
placed four feet aliove the bed and fitted
with porcelain reflectors (green exterior),
from the south half of the bed.
Owing to unavoidable dela.vsthe experi-
ment could not be made ready until Octo-
ber 15 last year, aiul by that time no
choice was left as to varieties to be used.
Those secured were Portia, Jubilee, Wil-
li.im Scott. Rose Queen, Daybreak, Ivory,
and ;i variegated sort (pale lemon, gently
splashed with delicate pink) of which I
could not learn the luame — it was bought
for Lizzie McGowan. The first named
predominated, but all varieties were
equally disti'ibuted between tlie dark and
lighted portions of the bed. The plants
were set in 9 x 1 2 inches.
The first notable change was observed
about two weeks after the plants had
been transplanted, at which time those in
the north end of the bed had taken root
and were busy sending up their flo'\\"er
spikes, while the others were not read.y
" to do business '' until about three weeks
later. Beginning on November 8, the
buds were carefully counted every week,
to note the proportion of increase. In
this race the plants under the lights took
the lead and merrily kept ahead through-
out the experiment by averaging 30 per
cent, more buds than the others. Al-
though there was scarcel.v a day of sun-
shine from the day the plants were set
until they bloomed, the flowers began to
appear the latter part of December, came
in considerable quantities in January and
February, and reached their climax in
March. "The weather in February and

March was more conducive to blooming
tlian tlie previous uiontlis, there being:
nuicli more sunshine. Measuring tlie
crops of sexcral successive weeks (luring
March revealed a difference of about four
inches in length of stem and an eighth of
an inch in breadth of (lower in favor of
the flowers grown under the lights. The
rigiilitv of the .stem, color, odor and
keeping (luality of the flower was neither
improved nor impaired b.v the lights.
Cuttings have beeu taken from both ends,
and the results of raising plants from
sauie will be noted next year.
Thus tar but oue part of this problem
has been solved, viz., that tlie incandes-
cent light.sincreasethc length of stem and
the size anil i|"antity of flowers. Future
research .should be made to ascertain
whether the stimulus was the action of
the light or of the invisililc electric waves
proceeding from the lamps. If it was
caused by the light itself, what colors
were beneflcial and what colors detrimen-
tal? This would be deternuned in two
ways— testing globes of the various pris-
matic colors with theircombinations and
by the reflection of polarized light trying
the effects of the ordinary and extraor-
dinar.v way. The voltage ami angle of re-
flection jiroduced by the reflector are also
factors of econondc ini|>ort.ince. Then,
again, the question arisis. Is the propor-
tion of nitrogen, potash and phos]ih(n-ic
acid assindlated the .snnu> (except the in-
creased (|uantity cousumed) under both
the old ami the new couditions? The
reader will at once see that here lies an
immense Held for investigation and that
the problem succe.ssfully solved may mean
a handsome profit to the investigator.

About Beans.
The suburban resident was examining
tlie receptacle in which his choice garden
seeds had been stored for the Winter. To
his utter chagrin he discovered that his
selected novelties had all been considered
clioice morsels by the mice and gnawed
into an indescribable mass, with the excep-
tion of a few in the bottom of the box.
"What are those seeds?" inquired his
wife, pointing to what remained intact.
" Oh, these are beans; the others, have
beens," was the repl.v.
It w'as some time before the better half
recovered herself, and when she did so she
laconically retorted: "Bein' it's you, I'll
accept the joke.''

Post-£aster Business Good.
Business at retail since Easter has
been very good; generally the demand
has been first class and the supply in
everything but violets unlimited, stock
going at till' buyers' own price. Bulbous
flowers, espiTiaily tulips, have been very
plentiful, and large quantities are sold
f(u- any figure. Lilies are abundant, aud-
like tulips, are sold for what can be ob,
tained. Quite a tew azaleas were left
over from Easter, but they are being
^\ orked off nicely.
Tlie frost is out of the ground in most
phu-es.and the bulbousstockpl;iiitcd last
Fall looks very well. Tlic 'iViiitcr has
been rather hard on herbaceous stock,
a consiilerable (luantity of it having been
kihed. This iS very generally the case
with l)ienuials, such as Canterbury bells,
hollyhocks, etc. T. M.
Pittsljurf.
Business Items,
Trade since Easter has been (piite
good, society affairs and the grand opera
causin.g a fair demand, in addition to a
good deal of funeral work. Stock is
abundant, carnations being perhaps alit-
tle scarce, which is unusual, as after
Easter these flowers generally come in
heavily. Lilies are plentiful and good,
principally L. longiflorum.
Plant trade has been slow, but the seed
trade is very active, due to the fine spring-
like weather.
Club News.
The Florists' Club held its monthly
meeting last week, with President Fal-
coner in the chair. After some routine
work and the election of about a dozen
new members, the exhibits of cut flowers
were discussed. From Schenley Park
Conservatories came alioiit two dozen
varieties of Dutch hyacinths, the best
sorts for cultivation under glass and out-
doors. Among the finest varieties were
the following; General Pelissier, deep
red: Lord Macaulay and Gertrude, pink;
King of the Blues, deep blue; Charles
Dickens, (irand Lllas and Queen of the
Blues, light blue; LaGrandesse, La Fran-
chise and Iiinocense, white. C.W.Ward,
of IJueeiis, L. I., sent a lot of fine carna-
tions, incluiling some of his seedlings.
Among them was a bunch of Governor
I'oosevelt and Harry Fenn, both good
crimsons: also Golden Beauty, Viola
Allen and other variegated sorts.
Henry H. Negley, who spent some
months in Florida, brought home several
species of wild orchids and showed them
to the members. Among them is a "palm
orchid." Avhich he siiid was very beauti-
ful .IS seen on dead trees in the mangrove
sw;inips. Mr. Negley was of the opinion
that Harrisii lilies could be .m-own better
at Miami than in the ]'.ciinud;is. The
lilies grow well and ripen early, and
wouUr perhaps outgrow the lily disease
which is so disastrous in the Bermudas.
Several members spoke of the best-sell-
ing plants for Easter, also regarding the
business thev had done. At the next
meeting, in ilay, the bedding- plant trade
will be discussed.

We wish to call attention to the bookB
advertised in this issue, all of which
should be In every reader's library.
There are, in particular, three worlds
every man should consider indispensable.
These have been written specially for the
publishers to present before the trade,
and their possession and diligent study
will yield manifold returns on the invest-
ment. We refer to "Plant Culture," by
Geo. W. Oliver; "Commercial Violet Cul-
ture," by Dr. B. T. Galloway; "The
Water Garden," by William Tricker.
The New York Fall Show.
The preliminary schedule of premiums
for the flower show to be held in the
Madison .Square Garden, New York, Oc-
tober 21 to 28 next, has been issued by
the New York Florists' Club. Liberal

means of bringing out an exhibition un-
paralleled in the country. Prizes of ilOO,

Jeet, premiums of $50, $25 and $15 will

James Dean is chairman of the Exhibi-
tion Committee, and James W. Withers,
13(3 Liberty Street, New York, secretary,
from the latter of whom copies of the
schedule can be had on application.
Encouraging Home Gardening:.
The trade will find much of interest in
the growing movement of which the Na-
tional League of Improvement Associa-
tions, with headciuarters in Springfield,
O., is the organized exponent. An im-
portant ijhase of the league's work is
the linking of special opportunities with
tho.se Avhiiliave business orother reasons
for meeting thein.
This month the league is pushing the
school garden idea as earned out by the
Home Gardening Association of Cleve-
land. One hundred thousand penny pack-
ages of seeds have recently been sold in
the pulilic schools of that city. The first
season's efforts resulted in the disposal
of 50,0iM) packages of nine varieties of
the more easily growing annuals. The
suggestion is offered florists that they
secure the cooperation of some local im-
provement association or other organized
body, so as to interest the school children
of their town in a similar movement.
The National Ijcague is prepared to sug-
gest the few necessary details and to co-
operate toward bringing the matter to
a head. If the local promoters A\ill secure
the aid of the local newspapers, attract-
ive "copy" will be supplied from head-
quarters.
A little time given to a careful cam-
paign along these lines ought to result in
a local boom in the trade, and the ener-
getic man who takes up the idea is sure
to find himself one of the best-known in-
dividuals in the community. By suggest-
ing and stimulating flower shows in dif-
ferent schools and churches the interest
will be maintained throughout the sea-
son. It a leading local photographer can
be interested in the scheme, his promise
to reproduce some of the most attractive
displays will be an added element of in-
terest. Altogether the scheme presents
much of value to the man who desires
publicity of a favorable character.
Another idea being jjushed from the
Springfield headquarters is the general
awarding of prizes for the various vine
and flower displays in front and back
yards. Andrew Carnegie, John H. Pat-
tersonand other well-known people have
approved of the scheme by the provision
of prizes in several localities. Florists
can arrange the plan so that some local
organization or a group of business men
may provide a reasonable number of
prizes to be awarded by a committee of
local judges.
This plan may be elaborated according
to the interest and resources of tlit one
who is pushing the promotion. At Day-
ton, O., the prize list lias included the
best-a.iipearing front iind back yards,
window and porch boxes, vine planting,
vacant lots, and the best care of premises
adjoining any of the steam railroads lead-
ing into the city. The plan directly in-
terests a considerable portion of the com-
munity and indirectly leads to newspa-
per agitation, so that the florists may
reap a rich harvest of public appreciation.
The National League of Improvement
Associations offers to I'cspond to all in-
quiries and to supply any needed details
in carrying out eitlier of these two plans.
The London Garden sees no great need
tor the recently organized National Sweet
Pea Society, believing that the limit as to
size in the flower has been reached, and
that the only thing that remains to be
done is a weeding out of the long list of
varieties. The Garden thinks the Royal
Horticultural Society is quite capable,
with little extra effort, of accomplishing
everything necessary in the matter of
judging cut floAvers of sweet peas, and
asks, "When so much more of jiractical
work in horticulture cries aloud to be
done," is it worth while to estalilish a
Sweet I'ea Society '? The journal in (lues-
tion has evidently no use tor the dwarf
varieties, as the following statement wit-
nesseth :
"No words can be too strong in con-
demnation of the dwarf races, that are
only a debasementof be.iutifuland grace-
ful form. A sweet pea is a climbing
plant, and it has climbed into and twined
round our hearts, an<l wedo not want to
see its character debased and destroyed
by any new shape that is quite foreign to
its nature. There will never be a whole-
some demand for these wretched dwarfs.
We earnestly hope that seed merchants
will see the wisdom of offering for sale re-
stricted collcitions of what are deter-
mined to be the best of the kinds. If this
were done and the kinds were always
clearly described as to color and general
habit, not merely by a name — such as
Mrs. Gladstone — only, amateurs would
buy with much more confldence. We
know as a fact that they complain of
the long lists, and we have also heard
complaints on the score of a flower of bad
shape much vaunted as a novelty sur-
passing everything hitherto produced,
only because it was a shade larger."
Our esteemed contemporary seemingly
has not seen the " wrctilied <lwarfs"at
their best; nor is their utility apparently
fully known to it. The advice as to re-
stricted collections is solid and should be
acted upon.
Peter Barr is " doing " Tasmania and
speaks, through the local press, in high
terms of the climate and possibilities ot
the country. Mr. Barr goes to Melbourne,
proceeding thence to Adelaide. After a
month in South Australia he will proceed
to West Australia and then to South
Africa, where he contemplates spending a
year if he flnds the climatic conditions
are such as suit him.
Our attention having been called to
some characteristic drivel in a contem-
porai^y written by an individual sorely
attlicted with (^'acoethes seribendi, we
hasten to inform the suffering party that
we shall lose no time in reading it.
"Words are like leaves; and, where they
most abound,
Much fruit ot sense beneath is rarely
found."

LITERARY NOTES.
The May issue of The Delineator, in ad-
dition to showing 80 sty les tor the month
devoted to ladies, girls, babies, men and
boys, contains much else that will be ot
interest to women of education and taste.
Among the interesting articles we can
name Seasonable Dress Fabrics, tlie mak-
ing of Wash (iowns for Summer Wear,
the H.ats of the Season, photographs of
the Inaugural Ball Dresses, (llommence-
ment-Day Dresses, the Etiquette ot Wed-
dings, Chafing Dish Recipes (illustrated).
Among the general literary articles is
thestoryot "Dickens' Unromantic Love,"

review of the ne^vest books.
The above-mentioned articles do not
by any means exhaust the offering which
The I)elineator makes to the modern

The Orchid Displays at the
New York Rose Show.
The subjoiinMl correspoDtk'uct', arising;'
out of a protest ag-aiiist the decision of
the jii(l2:es of the orchitl displays at the
recent sho^v of the American Rose Socie-
ty, are interesting- reading', as ^vell as
being suggestive along lines that are sell-
evideut:
To Messrs. Lager & Hurrell.—
DearSihb: <'(>ncerniiiy' rnnr jimlest of
March 21 with reiiMril l<> tln' ilccisinii in
Class 272, I am directed liy the Executive
Committee to inform you that at a meet-
ing held on March 22 the decision of the
judges was sustained unanimously. 1
am further instructed to inform you that
the judges duly appointed to the class
called in a secondset, and that the award
stands approved by six of the judges.
The judges in a subsequent signed report
state that the award was given for the
■ best collection of orchids: best as a deco-
rative group, best commercially for the
cut-flower value, best in actual plant
value and best for general utility. No
points were allowed for effect.
The judges further append a list of 30
species and varieties in the winning-
group.
Trusting- this will be satisfactory,
Leonari> Barron,
Secretary Americau Kose .Society.
Dear Sir: We are in receipt of your
letter of March 27 and note contents.
You say that the tlecisiou of the judges
was sustaiued unauimously by your lix-
ecutive Committee, and that the judges in
a subsequent report stated that the
award was given for the best collection
of orchids; further, that the judges "ap-
pend a list of 30 species and varieties
in the winning- group." We will now try
and show both the judges and the lixecu-
tive Committee where errors were com-
mitted.
^The award in itself is to us of secondary
importance, but the principle and judg-
ing of the kind done, taking place in con-
nection with the American Kose Society,
is a great deal to us as well as to others
in the trade.
The arguments in favor of the winning
group, you .say, were as follows:
1. Best as a decorative group. This
we admit, the winning group being- set
up lor effect.
2. Best commercially torthecut-flower
value. This is the first time we are made
acquainted with the fact that Dendro-
bium Wardianum is of more value to grow
for cut flowers than cattleyas, cypripe-
diums, Oncidium sarco<les, etc. Dendro-
bium Wardianum formed the bulk of the
winning- group-
3. Best in actual plant value. This de-
cision is so ridiculous that we are unable
to characterize it in fitting terms. There
were only two varieties in the winning
group of any particular distinctiveness
or value, viz., Dendrobium Wardianum
album;and Cymbidum Loweii eburueum.
Now, if the judges awarded the prize
on account of these two plants, they
were, to say the least, incompetent in the
particular line of judging- orchids.
4. Bestfor generaiutility. The answer
to this would be substantially the saiue
as statement No. 2, winch see.
Returning to the list of 30 species and
varieties in the winning group, we pre-
Bimie the judges were joking, for no man
witli any knowledge wliatevcrof the sub-
ject could make tli;it nnmber out of the
following, of which the group in question
consisted, viz. :
Uendrobium Wardianum, D. Wardia-
num album, U. primulinum,D. Devonia-
num, D. crassinode; Oncidium Cavendish-
ianum, O. pubes; Cypripedium callosum,
C. insigne; Cattleya Triaiue, C. Mossia-,
C. Dowiana, C. intermedia; Miltonia
Roezlii; CalantheBcgnieri: riiaiiisgi-aud-
ifolius;l.a-lia .loiigiir.nia ; * '_\nihi'liiiH Lo-
weii elniriieuni ; iOpiitendruiu it.-iiiilii.
All the foregoing were represented by
one plant of each variety and in a few
instances by two of each variety, except
the dendrobiums of which there were a
number of plants.
If 30 varieties and species can be manii-
factured out of the preceding, how many
more could have been made of the follow-
ing, of which the losing grt)up consisted:
Uendrobium \\'ardi.-nnnn, !». cln-ysoLox-
um; ('attleya Triana-, ('. T. virginalis, C.
Schroederte (nine plants in aU), C. choco-
eusis, C. speciosissima, (;. Clai-idiana
(hybrid X C. intermedia X C. Luddemau-
niana), C. Suavior ( h.vbrid X C. intermedia
X C.Mendelii); La-lia .longlieana; Cypri-
pedium Leeanum, C. villosum, C. Boxallii,
C. caluruiu, C. veuustnm, C, Sedenii can-
didulum, C. leucorrhodum, C. I.,athamia-
num; Lailia tta-va, L. cinnabariua; Odon-
toglossum Cervantesii.O. Inslayii, O.Ros-
sii; Oncidium sarcodes, O. Kra.merianum,
O. pubes; Cielogyne cristata, C. crista ta
alba; Cymbidum eburneum, C. Lowia-
num; Brassavola glauca; Epidendrum
O'r.rienianum (hybrid X E. evectum X
E. rhizophorum ) ; Lycaste Skinnerii. L.
lauipes; And>lostonia ceruua; Sophro-
nitis grandlHor.a.
In conclusion, we wish you to turn to
the schedule, which stated distinctly
" F(U- Best Collection of Orchids" (plants
and cut tlo\V('i-.-< i-nmbined). WetnUowed
the schedule to the letter, but the judges,
it appears, saw flt to judge on lines not
even hinted at in the schedule.

Remedy for Aster Beetles,
Editor Florists^ Exchange:
H. A. .1. in Question No. lis asks for a
remedy for the black beetles (probably
one of the blister beetles) which attack
his asters. We had these pests after the
asters were in bloom last Summer, aud
one appUcation of Leggett's Dry Bor-
deaux Mixture and Paris Green Com-
pound entirely cleared the plants. It was
applied with a dry-powder bellows.
If the insects are tlie flea, beetles, I think
the same remed.v will be etticacious. Or
the regulation li(|uid Bonleaux mixture
with a little Paris green added ought to
be equally as good.

New Castle, Ind.
The South Park Floral Co. has com-
pleted two new houses, 2(J0 x ().5 feet
long by 25 feet wide, which they expect
to plant in Americau Beauty this week.
They have 10 more houses Hearing com-
pletion, also to be devoted to American
Beauty. Their new rose Marquise Litta
is looking excellent, being iu full crop just
now. Mr. Heller says he ma<le very large
shipments Easter to E. C. Amling, of Chi-
cago.
Peter Weiland is here superintending
the erectiou of 18 houses :;i hi fri-l long.
Tweuty-one carloads of m-ecuhouse mate-
rial have been unloaded, and a large force
of men is at work. He expects to grow
roses and carnations only.
L. A. Jennings has ordered greenhouse
material for five large houses; his inten-
tions are to tear down his old houses and
build uew ones, using iron gutters.
Everybody seems satisfied with the
Easter trade.
Recent visitors were Messrs. Joy, of
Nashville, Teun., and A. G. Myers, Bluff-
ton, Ind. B. V. H.
Baltimore.
The Market.
There is a lull iu business after the
Easter trade. Belated lilies hang around,
droopy genistas and spira-as keeping
them company, with fading azaleas look-
ing ou. Lots of stock was left — too
much; the stores are lull of it and so is
the market. Violets areover with. Daf-
fodils are still coming up from Ilixie.
They sell, but . Carnations are ouce
again a little in over-supply. Roses are
plentiful. Really everj'thing is abundant
and prices — well, they suit the occasion.
NarciBal.
A large quantity of fancy narcissi
has been shipped to this market from a
Soutiu'rnflrm. The.\' a re beautiful flowers,
comprising- the varii'liesSir ^\'atUins, V.\n-
peror jind 1-^mpress, Princeps, and .-i ni-\v
VfH-iety, Barrii conspicnus. Tlie.v are
gr(iwn i)y a man who apparently knows
how to put them on the market in the
proper way. 'They are bunched Hat, and
fi'om all appearances have long stems.
But there is a knack in putting them into
this shape.
It is a question if this narcissus really
pays, considering the cost of the bulbs.
l-;specially is this the case with the Hner
varieties.
There is a new store on Gay Street.
Tins street isdestined to bec<uue a. second
Charles Street, if the number of stores is
any indication.
;i'.ccliling stock doesnot seem tobeovcr-
Iiienlidd this year. But no one ever
knows what the season ^\-ill bring forth.
There is a scarcity of hybri<l pi'rpotual
roses on their own roots.

Business Difficulties.
Baltimore, Md.— Edward A. Mont-
gomery, a florist on Erdman Avenue,
made an assignment April 11 for the
benefit of his creditors to James W. Long.
Bond was given in the sum of $;10,000,
which indicates his assets to be about
half that amount. The liabilities were
not stated.

Thb Plorists' Exchange.
(123) Fninigatliig Carnationa. —
How must I smoke cai-nation and rose
houses, the plants being in flower — with
tobacco stems, or is it better to use Niko-
teen ?— C. B.
— While the roses and carnations are
in flower it will be better todestroy the
aphis by spraying ^vith Nikoteen.
(124) Caterpillars — An Interested
REAnE«. — The caterpillars can be easily
exterminated by the use of Hammond's
Slug Shot. Dust the plants thoroughly,
under the leaves as well as on the upper
sides. Let this dust remain on the plants
a da.v or so, then syringe clean and appl.v
another dose if necessary. It ^vill also be
found Tteneficial to sprinkle lime freely
upon the benches and the surface of the
soil.
(12.~») Nursery Inspection in Ohio.
— I)o('s the Ulw for the inspection of
nursery stock include strawlierry plants
and greenhouse stock, such as vincas and
vines?— R. D.
— Professor F.M.Webster, diiefin.spector
of Ohio State under the law, writes as
follows: " This law includes strawberry
plants, but florists' greenhouse stock is
exempt." A cojjy of the law can be pro-
cured from Professor Webster by address-
ing him at Ohio Agricultural Experiment
Station, Woo.ster, Ohio.
(126) A Carnation Cut — This is my
first attempt atgrowing carnations, and
I woulil like to know if I am getting
what I ought to from the number of
plants from which I am cutting blooms.
I have 1,000 plants of the following va-
rieties: Victor, C. A. Dana, Eldorado,
Flora Hill, Jubilee, Evanston, Armazindy,
William Scott, and am cutting 65 dozen
flowers per week, all salable. Am I up-to-
date or a back number'? We have had
about one day's sunshine in five. — E.A.L.
— For a first attempt at carnation
growing the results ought to be very
gi'atifying; 6.5 dozen flowers a week from
1,000 l>laiits means an average of about
20 flowers to the plant for the season:
anil taking into consideration the fact
that there has been only one day's sun-
shine in five, the grower is certainly get-
ting favorable returns from the plants.
(127) Out Worms. — I have been trou-
bled for the last four weeks with a brown
cut worm eating my smilax and carna-
tions. Dozens of the worms ai'e caught
every night, but there seems to be no let-
up. I have had a little trouble every Fall
with the same worm, but it only lasted
two or three weeks. I kept them down
by hunting them after dark. I have used
liquid manure Tmade from two-year-old
cow manure, well rotted, and think the
worms came from that. I didn't use any
manure for two weeks, but the worms
increaseil rather than decreased. How
can I destroy them without hurting the
plants, and what could I use as a prevent-
ive another season? — D. H. C.
— Dust the plants infested with the
worms or caterpillar as it really is, with
Hammond's Slug Shot, taking care to
give a subsequent thorough syringing
before any smilax or flowers are cut. Do
this two or three times at intervals of
several days and the caterpillar will soon
be exterminated.
(128) Japan Longitloruin — Will you
kindly let me know the proper "way to
cultivate Japan-grown longiflorum, to
start them off quickl.v ? We, previous to
this year, grew Bermuda-grown L. Har-
risii, and always successfully. This year
we were persuaded to buy the Japan-
grown bulbs, on account of the Bermuda-
grown stock being so prone to disease.
We bought 7 — 9 bulbs, potted them up
in 3-inch pots, put them on the green-
house bench, and covered ■s\'ith jjaper to
exchide llic lightinsteadof mulching with
manure and starting the bulbs in a cold
frame as we did the L. Harrisii. The
bulbs were received on the 2.3d of Sep-
tember, potted the next day. Our first
attempt "was a dismal failure. The bulbs
first began to show above ground about
Christmas and are (April .5) just showing-
bud now: only three and four buds to a
plant. Was our mode of starting the
bulbs wrong? If so, in ^vhat particular?
Kindly let us know exactly how to go
ahead for next year with Easter a week
earlier. What temperature do the bulbs
require at night? Also give a general
idea of how to proceed successfully. — D.
H. M.
— The method followed by the inquirer
was all right, and the only reason we can
think of why the flowers were not in for
Easter is that the temjierature of the
house was kept too low or the bulbs
have been inferior. There have been some
complaints about Japan longiflorum
lilies starting poorly in some places,
through some cause or other. We would
advise trying the same variety of bulbs
again. Pot them when they arrive; place
them under the greenhouse bench and
cover with straw or paper. As soon as
growth starts put them on the bench,
and maintain a night temperature of .08
or 60 degrees. If by the middle of Janu-
ary they do not seem to be far enough
advanced, raise the night temperature
another five or ten degrees, so as to have
the buds in sight by the last week in
February.
(129) A Rose Trouble. — I send sam-
ple of potted rose cuttings which were
first-class stock when potted Februar.y
10. Half of the thousand plants have
ilone well, and are good strong plants in
3-inch 111 Its; the 1 it her ."ioo a re in the condi-
tion of tile s.imple wesend. Can you tell
us what is the trouble'.' — Subsckiber.
— There is no disease apparent either
on the rose or its roots, but the latter
appear to have been checked by some
Gerbera Jatnesoni.
Grown by A. Herriugton, Madisou, N. J.
cause or other, and have become stunted
and gradually stopped growing alto-
gether. What has caused this it is im-
liossible for us to say; but if 500 plants
have dune well and the other 500 have
turned out like the plant sent for inspec-
tion, there is no doubt that the two
batches have been treated differently, and
the grower will know in what way, pro-
viding all were under the care of the same
man. From the appearance of the roots
of the plant we think the trouble has
been done when the plant was potted, by
pressing the young plant too firmly into
the soil at its base and leaving the roots
pointing upward in the soil, instead of
having the roots pointing downward,
as they should do when rightl.v potted.
Of course this is partly conjecture, but
we would advise taking the 500 out of
their pots, repotting them at once, and
try to start them growing.
Gerbera Jamesoni.
The Barberton Daisy.
This beautiful South African plant is
slowly growing in favor and latterly has
attracted the attention of growers in this
country; but whether it will attain the
popularity it deserves or be a remimera-
tive plant to the commercial grower is
as yet, to my mind, an open question. Its
grace and beauty mark it as a striking
flower that would win the admiration of
all who see it, and were it hard.vit would
be in large demand. But it has peculiari-
ties that have to be found out and under-
stood. Althoughit hasbeenin the hands
of European growers now for the past
14 years, it has remained up till quite re-
cently a scarce and high-priced plant. A
reference to The Garclen of October 12,
1889, in which number is an excellent
colored plate of it, suiiiJlies thefnllowing:
"Gerbera Jamesoni was discmereda
few years ago by a Mr. R. Jameson in the
Transvaal at a place near Barberton. It
was introduced and flowered by Mr.
Tillet, of Norwich, England, in 1887."
It is an evergreen herbaceous plant,
having leaves like those of Francoa ra-
mosa, but a foot in length, springing up
from a hard woody root stock, and has
long, thick roots with few fibers. The
flowers are borne erect on a strong
stalk from 1 to 11/2 feet in length, are
full.v 4 inches across, and in the best types
are of a glowing scarlet color. Recent
experience, however, shows it to vary in
different plants from orange-red to deep
vermilion. I have experimented with this
plant now for the past (our years, in the
open ground in Summer and under glass
in Winter. Our original plants, now 4
years old. have never been witlmut buds
or flowi-rs xqion them thriiu.i;liiiut the
past three .vears, or since they attained to
flowering size, and owing to this con-
tinued succession of bloom one wotdd
need to have a large stock to have flowers
in fiuantity.
One would imagine a plant of this kind
ought to have some resting period, but I
cannot say our plants have ever been
really at rest. If some information could
be gleaned of its habit and behavior in its
native country, it might materially aid
us in arriving at a better umli'rst.-uiding
of its needs. A few plant.slel't in the open
border to test its lianlines.s jierished, but
it will stand some frost, as I know gar-
dens in England where it has survived
the Winter. Possibly the best way to
test it thoroughly would be to establish
it in a email house or heated frame, with
the sash removed all Summer, as owing
to its paucity of roots, plants lifted from
the open ground and planted on the
greenhouse bench or potted are slow to
recover.
By reason of its woody root stock it
cannot be readily propagated from divi-
sion, and apparently it ripens few seeds,
although we have occasionally had a
good head of seeds from a flower that
opened in Summer, and these seeds sown
immediately they ripened germinated
quickly; in fact, some that escaped our
notice and fell to the ground soon sprang
into growth around the parent plant.

White Comet Aster.
The seedsman's long list of asters con-
tains but lew, especially among the early
sorts, that are really valuable to the
florist. For several years I have been
trying to improve some of the established
varieties and to develop new ones that
should be particularly adapted to florists'
uses. The work has all been with a fixed
aim and along definite lines, but the va-
riation that bids fair to prove most valu-
able is wholly the result of Dame Nature's
interference.
The picture shows two typical flowers
of a strain of white Comet aster, in which
I have attempted to develop, along with
the size ol the Bower, the proportion of
irregularly cut and toothed tubular
florets in the center. I think the beauty
of the feathery Comet is much enhanced
by the contrasting forms of the fluBy, re-
curved outer part and the long, ragged
center florets. Unfortunately the camera
seems unable to reproduce the real effect
white Comet Aster, improved.
of a full double, pure white flower. Some
lime ago occasional plants were noticed
that were very early; but this was sup-
posed to be purely accidental. Even
when quite a large number of the plants
weio early, it was attributed to some
difference in handling in the plant boxes.
In 1900, however, seed was sown out of
doors at the same time with many other
varieties, including Queen of the Market.
Several hundred plants of Comet and of
Queen of the Market were set iu the field
the same day. When the plants came in-
to bloom about half of the Comet was
several days in advance of the Queen of
the Market. Seed from the early plants
was saved separately, and if the early
blooming feature proves to be well fixed
it will be offered to the trade next year.
There is a fascinating uncertainty
about these plant variations. A delicate
pink sport of the Comet — just the color
for design work — was nursed along for
three or lour years, and finally, through
reversion and accidental loss of seed,
dwindled back to a single plant in 1900.
A pale lavender Comet, that was evident-
ly the result of a violentcross, broke into
a bewildering variety of plants the first
.year — mostly coarse, single flowers.
Everything that gave promise of the de-
sired color has been persistently followed
up until finally a full double flower, the
color of the Countess of Radnor sweet
pea, has been thoroughly fixed. Truly,
" many are called, but few are chosen."

One-Year-Old Crimson Rambler.
The illustration herewith shows speei-
luens of one-year-old plants ot' r'rimson
RamMei* grown for Easter trade by
Joseph Bennett, Montreal. The ciittinys
from which these plants were grown
were struck in the ordinary way in March
and April, 1900, potted into 21/2-inch
l)ots, and ])lanted in the field in rows 15
inches apart, the plants heing- one foot
apart in the rows. They were freciviently
cultivated iluringthe Summer to keep the
ground in good condition. By the Fall
the plants had made from one to three
growths, each 18 inches to two feet in
length. They were allowed to remain in
the ground until after the frost had taken
off all their leaves; were then lifted and
packed closely together in boxes, care being
taken to shake^the soil firmly among the
plants to cover all roots to the depth of
three or four inches.
The boxes were placed on the floor of
the bulb houses in a temi)erature about
the freezing point, allowed to rem;iin
until the week after Christmas, when the
plants were potted into 5 and G incli
pots, sufficient plants — usually two or
three — being put togethertomakc a sym-
metrical shape,and put into a house with a
night temperature of 40 to 4.5 degrees.
In a couple of weeks the eyes began to
push. The canes were then cut back to
4 or 5 inches in length, and after a few
days were moved into a night temjiera-
tureof 50degrees, and ,igain, after a laiise
of a week, to 55 degrees, whei-e tlie\- re-
mained until they flowered. The buds on
these plants were in sight the end of the
second week in February, experience
teaching that itjtakes quite two months
inja night temperature of 55 degrees to
open the flowers from the time the buds
can be first seen. If grown in a higher
temperature the plants become spindly
and develop soft, light-colored and small
flowers.
The large trusses of tiowers in the illus-
tration run from 50 to 85 buds each.
Mr. Bennett says they sold Ijcfore ;iny-
thing else for house plants jit Easter.
This also was the exijerience of Wilshire
Bros, and Miss Murray, who hanclli'd a
few of them. These plants realized §1.2,')
to $3.50 each. Fred BENNtTT.

wanted at hotel, apartment or private
house, with or without breakfast, and
the number of persons desiring accommo-
dations together.
It will be necessary to inform the com-

several apartments for the week where
from 100 to 150 can be accommodated
iu one place.
It will be unnecessary to communicate
with .Mr. W. J. Stewart, secretary of the

Pan-American Progress.
April iu liuffalo, although it cannot be
called a cokl month, is very uncertain,
and unfortunately this April has been so
far a typical one, and a little more so. A
bright, dry Api-il would be a great bless-
ing to the progress of work on the
grounds, and that, of course, is of more
consequence than all the agricultural and
horticultural industries of this broad
land — or we think so.
The shrubs and herbaceous plants, with
few exceptions, have come through the
Winter in good shape, and the grass
seeded last year is perfect and slowly as-
suming the welcome tints which gladden
the eye. The thousands of hyacinths,
tulips and narcissus are sho^ving Avell
above the ground, and those in the exhib-
it departnient are bound to make the
Music (larden a brilliant expanse of color
during tlu' month of May. The long bor-
ders iju cK-h side of tlie Grand Basin, con-
taining L'."»0.<)00 bull)S, are also show-
ing up linely. I will pause here to
say that when every detail is finished
and these beds are gay with Summer
flowers and fountains, with the Electric
Tower filling the view to the north,
with the exquisitely tinted Music, Eth-
nology, Liberal Arts and Machinery
Buildings to your right and left., the
grand group of Government Buildings
rounding off the eastern view and the
Horticultural group the western. It will
be a scene, a ilream never before equaled.
The Aquatic Basins in the Court of
Fountains in front of the Machinery and
the Coui-t of Cypress in front of the Liber-
al Arts Building are about complete.
The one destined tor the Victoria regia
will be carefully and thoroughly heated.
The exotic nymphseas also for this basin
are being grown in the conservatories,
and are already sjjlendid plants and
growing at a lu'odigions rate. Many
exhibits of conifers and shrubs will be here
the moment the ground is sufficiently dry.
The Landscape Department is still
propagating with all possible speed, and
many hundreds of sash are now covering
hot beds that contain hundreds of thou-
sands of bedding pla-nts to be used iu the
courts, at the base of many of the build-
ings, in front of the pergolas and in every
available spot where coli)r of flower and
foliage can further embellish.
As 1 have often had occasion to men-
tion, this is no White City, but a Rain-
bow City, and the charm and delight of
the coloring of the buildings is beyond my
descriptive powers. Amherst Street, the
only paved street that crossed the ac
quired ground, would be no longer rec-
ognized by the oldest inhabitant. On
each side of it magnificent palaces ; crossed
by canals; in long stretches planked and
paved 10 feet above its old level; bor-
dered by tall Lombardy poplars; and
where the old street is still left at its orig-
inal grade, covered with a foot of soil,
which will be a tropical garden profusely
dotted with splendid statuary.
The fence dividing the acquired ground
from Delaware Park lias Iteeu removed.
Buffalo people knew the effect of this, but
the stranger whose attention was not
drawn to it would have uoidea of the
enhancement to the whole exposition.
Here are I'M acres of a true park whose
laudsca)i(' features .'u'c uusuri)assed. Al-
tlinuglielci-lricl()\nit a ins, I ■Icctric launches
and iuuuuierable lights throughout the
grounds will make it a fairy scene on
Summer evenings, great and beautiful as
is the whole design of the Pan-American,
the transition from the artificial to the
natural as you enter the park is delight-
ful, and a feature that no previous expo-
sition has had the good fortune to possess.
The schedule of theclasses for the series
of flower shows which will be held
throughout the Summer is being issued
in very tasty pamphlet form, and all
those who are interested in these exhibi-
tions who do not receive a, copy will be
gladly furnished the same by forwarding
their request to me at the Horticulture
Building, Pan-American Exposition
grounds. William Scott.
Primula Veris Superba.
I send you a photograph of a bed of
the hardy primula, P. veris superba; also
a cut of a single clump.
This bed, which had been cut over
twice within a few days before the pic-
ture was taken. Is in the open ground.
It has been in place two years, is in good
loamy soil, and was mulched the pre-
vious Summer with lawn rakings. It is
not uncommon to take from one of these
strong clumps a dozen stems a foot in
length at a single cutting.
Although the plant is rather suc-
culent, the cut flowers keen a remark-
ably long time In water, and can be han-
dled commercially. The foliage, however,
soon gets slimy from the handling which
cut flowers receive In marketing.

Evolution of Greenhouses.
Edmund M. Wood, ex-president S. A.
F. O. H., recently delivered a lecture be-
fore the Holyoke (Mass.) Horticultural
Society ou the sul>ject of evolution of
greenhouses. Mr. Wood said in part:
Many of the modern methods of con-
struction of greenhouses are the adoption
of improvements made at the Waban rose
conservatories, and upon which the first
houses were built, now over thirty years
ago. Tliese conservatories were the first
to adopt the use of large, double thick
glass 18 X 20 inches, small, light sash
bars, supported by a,n iron bracket auil
running from rafter to rafter. The sills
were beveled and set wide enough upon
a brick wall to overhang the wall on
each side one inch. Into this a groove
was cut to prevent the water working
between tlie sill and wall. Most of the

sash bars and sills are perfectly sound to-
day, after 30 years' use. There was no
plsice for water to lodge. The houses
have Ijeen kept well painted. These
houses are erected so tlie southerly side
of them faced a little I'ast of south, to re-
ceivethe early morning rays of ligltt from
the sun upon the southern face of the
houses. It was not expected these houses
could not be improved upon, but many
of the improvements then made are
adopted in the most modern construction
of to-day — such as large, double thick
glass, iron frames and supports, beveling
iron or wood work, thus giving no op-
portunity for water to lodge.
Large glass is used for a number of
reasons— it will give or bend in a high
wind instead of breaking, as will small
glass; greater economy in painting and
puttying; less danger to plants in cold
weather, fewer sash bars, and thus offering
less resistance to the snow and ice from
sliding off, while snow and ice will re-
main a week ujion roofs of greenhouses
coiisdiH-ted with small glass and the
many sash bars. Ilpon a modern con-
structed house, with large glass, it will
remain only a day or two.
Greenhouse construction commercially
may be considered under nine heads — lo-
cation, plans, grading, foundations,
framework, glazing and painting, plant
tables, veutilation, heating.
Location.
Some writers claim that when green-
houses are iutended for use in connection
with the garden they should be placed,
for convenient attendance, within tlie
garden inclosure or along its boundary.
It is said a good location for the garden
will usually be found the best one for the
greenhouse. This may or may not be
true. I will cite one of the foremost
places in America, tliat of the H. H.
Huniiewell estate in Wellesley, where the
greenhouses are located in the garden
inclosure, and where it is more or less
surrouiuled with trees. , It is impossible
to get the best results from such condi-
tions. The conservatory designed for a
private place, where specimens and plants
already In bloom are to be kept for the
pleasure of the family and friends, should
be attached to the dwelling, and while It
would be better to have a southern expo-
sure, it matters but little, and the plants
when not at their best are removed from
tlie conservatory to the greenhouse and
others substituted in their place. It is not
iiia.<le with a view to gro'w plants. The
location of greenhouses for commercial
uses, when the elements of expense and
profit are to have the first consideration,
is of great importance. It should be at
no great distance from the main line of
railroad transportation. Suitable loca-
tion is its ailaptabillty and cost of land,
suit.-ihle soil, cost of fuel delivered, ample
and iucxpiMisive water supply, and di.s-
taiice to markets. Level land having a
southerly slope is the best. Plans for the
proposed greenhouses should be made
which should provide for the largest in-
crease which can be anticipated. In this
way houses can be erected which are con-
venient and can be worked with greater
efficiency and economy. One must give
particular attention to the special pecu-
liarities of the location, exposure to the
sun, grade of ground, shape of lot, and
best location for heating apparatus.
Each house should have the proper form
of house and exposure.
It will readily be seen that in locating
a range of greenhouses and having proper
plans, to get the best advantage and re-
sults requires skill gained from long and
wide experience. It is truly said of the
past, when the architect prevails the
gardener fails; but tliere are to-day archi
tects who make a specialty of greenhouse
architecture and are very efficient, and it
is not totheamateurgardener or garden-
ers of private places that tlie commercial
man looks for advice and counsel; it is
to the specialist. It is also true that in
almost any other class of buildings the
beginner or amateur who to-day under-
takes to plan and construct his own
greenhouse, with the aid of a carpenter,
would ])ay dearly for his experience, like
the lawyer who advocated his own case
and found he had a fool for a client.
The environment of the greenhouses is
one of the most (if not the most) impor-
tant. If surrounded by dwellings or
trees, even if it obstructs the nortliern
light, it impairs not only the quality, but
tlie quantity, of product of the green-
houses. This Is the experience of the
Waban rose conservatories. A large oak
stood at the north side of a greenhouse
300 feet in length. It was a very large,
valuable tree, and when iu leaf iiiipaired
the stoclc in that house for 200 running
feet. The rose plants never recovered
their full vigor and productive power.
Of course it was removed. It would be
impossible for a commercial house with
imperfect environment to compete with
one of perfect environment so situated as
to receive both northern and southern
light unobstructed, and not to be affected
by other estates over which one has no
control.
Neither can ridge-and-furrow green-
houses compete with houses spaced 20
feet apart, as above referred to, when
the sun is traveling near the horizon.
The gi'eenhouses need the greatest
amount of light obtainable. Even snow
upon the ground Is a great help and ad-
vantage. The best and most modern
constructed houses for growing roses,
carnations, and violets are houses 20 feet
wide, three-quarters span, the angle of
tlie roof being about 33 degrees in front
and carried back so the ridge will not
sliade any of the plants on the northerly
side of the house. Spaced 20 feet apart,
for the same reason one house will not:
sliadi) the other. Experience has demon-
strated that inside the greenhouse the
plants in the south border shade the
north border, and the product in the
south border is greater than in the north
bonier. In some seasons of the year the
product is from one-third to one-half
greater. It gets more of the southern
fight, wliile the north border depends
liartly upon northern light. This has
led nie to remark that a greenhouse
of nearly half the width, with one
border so as to get both north and south
light, would produce nearly if not quite
as much as a house of present inoderu
construction with two borders.

The Market,
Contrary to exiicctatioiis, the cut-
flowei- business has not improveil any
rtnrinji' the last week. While tliei'eliave
been several social affairs calling- for
lar^e displays of flowers, etc., the quan-
tily of stock received in the wholesale
marts has been so large that a marked
decline in values of the best grades of
roses and all grades of carnations has re-
sulted. Lilies are now to be had at 3c.
and 4c., and the supply is more than am-
ple to meet the demand. Smilax is the
best-selling staple in the market; good
strings ai'e realizing $3 per dozen.
White pa'onies have begun to come in,
and $1.50 per dozen is the asking price
for them. (JladioU are also on hand in
small quantities and are bringing the
same figure.
Trailing arbutus is in, and the street
Tenders are handling this to a great ex-
tent, much to the detriment of violets.
The latter are coming in quite heavil.v
and the quality is somewhat off; large
lots have had to be sacrificed in order to
clear out, some of them going as low as
$1.25 per 1,000. Single tulips bring from
$1 to $1.25, the best doubles sometimes
going at $3, but more often at $2.
Some nice blooms of Cattle.va Mossia?
are arriving and 50c. each is the stand-
ard price for the best of them, smaller
flowers bringing a little less.
The tone of theflowertradeis anything
but cheerful at i)reKi'nt. What with the
disagreeable weather experienced and the
increased output over that of former
years, there seems to be too many flowers
on hand, though this condition might
change completely within the next few
days, as everything seems to be in full
crop at present.
The Horticultural Society's Sliow.
The initial animal show of the Hor-
ticultural Society of New York iscrr.iting
considerable attention. The whole affair
is tapping a new class of the public, one
that is not brought into contact with
the ordinar.y horticultural surface. The
Botanical Garden and the Horticultural
Societ.v are cooperating in the matter,
and in order to make the exhibition thor-
oughly reju'esentati^ f. have offered excel-
lent money jn-izes for competition. Par-
ticular attention is directed to the novelty
prize of S~'". 'I'ltis premium will, it is ex-
pected, be made an annual offer at the
society's yearly meeting.
Cornelius Van Brunt will give one of his
illustrated lectures, and opportunit.y will
be given visitors of inspecting the Botan-
ical Garden, the Museum and Laborato-
ries. Full particulars regarding the show
can be obtained from Secretary Leonard
Barron, i:!G Liberty Street.
Auction Sales.
The auction rooms of Wm. Klliott
& Sons and Clear.v & Co. have been
crowded with patrons this \N-eek. and a
vast (luantit.v of evergreens ami decidu-
ous shrubs has changed hands. At
Cleary & Co.'s, on Friday afternoon, oc-
curred the annual orchid sale of Sander
& Co., St. Albans, England.
Brevities.
A. Warendoil, retail florist of Broad-
\\ay, near 30th Street, will on the 1st
of May move to 25th Street and I5road-
way, where the business will be conducted
in conjunction with J. Fleischman's.
W. S. .\llen will change his location
about May 1. He will occupy the parlor
floor at 53 West 2Sth Street.
The New York Cut Flower Co. is now
located in its new salesroom, corner of
2i;th Street and Sixth .\ venue. The room
is on the third floor of the building, but
is easy of access, as there is splendid ele-
vator service.
The firm of Moore, Hentz & Nash, who,
besides being members of the Cut I'lower
Co., do a general commission business,
has secured additional space on the same
floor to facilitate the handling of the out-
put from the concern's consignors.
In the local bowling tournament that
has been conducted at the Arlington Ho-
tel during the last two months the Flo-
rists' Bowling Club has come out almost
at the head of the list. The Florists tied
with the T went iethCentur.y team, and the
first and second prizes, amounting to $75,
were divided between the two teams.
Seriniis injury li.isresulted among some
of the sliipnicnts of cycas stems reaching
this city on acccnint of their having be-
come heateil eu route. In some cases 30
per cent, of the stems are afferted.
The Ways and Means and Exhibition
Committee sof the New Y'ork Florists' Club
will meet in the club room on Tuesday
evening, the 23d inst. The presence of
the full complement of nn'inbers is ear-
nestly desired, as important work ^\ill be
transacte<l.
H. C. Steinhoff leaves to-day ( Saturday )
for a two weeks' trip to I'oi'to Rico.
During a quarrel over some mone.v
matters, Peter Panaretes shot and killed
George Hoompavlis in Rochester, N. Y.,
on A])ril 10. Both men were Greek flower
sellers and formerly did business in this
cit.v. The amount in dispute is said to
have been $5. Rumor has it that there
was also a woman in the case.
Lulu, the little daughter of Anton
Schnltheis, College Point, N. Y'., died
Thur.s(lay, April il, after a week's illness,
aged six years. Much sympathy is felt
for the bereaved parents.

Easter Report.
If it hadn't rained Friday Easter
trade would have been better. It we
hadn't bought so many bulbs we
wouldn't have dumped so many after-
ward. If we had purchased more violets so
many orders would not have gone un-
filled. If we had employed more delivery
rigs cu.stomers would have received their
oders on time, and so on indefinitely this
little woril"if " isalwaysemployed. The
wise florist is he who doesn't use this
word at all, but, profiting by each sea-
son's experience, tries to eliminate its u.se
in connection with his business.
While trade might have been better hail
sunny skies prevailed throughout the
week, sales were most satisfactory and
in the aggregate as large or larger "than
ever l*fore in the histor.v of the trade
here. Nature turned a clever trick by
bringing nearly all belated stock into
bloom after weeks of watchfulness ami
niiparent disappointment on the part of
the growers. Lilies were plentiful, with
sufficient stock for all orders. Hydran-
geas and azaleas were in extra good de-
mand, and more of the latter could have
been sold. There was auunustmlly good
call for spirieas and all salable stock was
closed out early. Well done hybrid roses
solil at sight, as the.v usuall.v do, but
Crimson Rambler did not move as quickly
as in former years. Hyacinths in pots
and pans met with only moderate sales,
and that in the smaller stores.
Cut flowers were all in good demand,
with prices ruling about 25 per cent,
higher than before orsince. Colored roses
ami carnations were called for oftener
than white, which denotes quite a change
in taste from a few years since. The best
fancy carnations sold at the same price
as ro.ses, $1.50 and $2 per dozen at re-
tail. American Beauty were quite scarce,
bringing S^o to $8 per dozen. Violets
were in good demand at $2 per 100. Lily
of the valley sold well, but other bulbous
stock only in assorted boxes ami for
si)ecial purjioses.
The stores were all dressed up in holi-
day attire. L. L. May & Co.'s mammotli
conservatory, in connection with their
store, was one glowing mass of color.
Holm & Olson had their store packed
with good things, the chief of which was
lilies. Swanson had an extra store for
the occasion. Lemke's windows were
resplendent with beauty, while Vogt,
Iliersekorn and all the others had fine
window dLsplays.
Chris Hansen had a very fine cut of
roses and carnations. His Mrs. Bradt
were larger than the best roses seen here,
averaging fully tour inches in diameter.
Jottings.
C. F. Haupt has opened a store in
the place occupied by the Ramaley Floral
Exchange, thus making three florist
stores in one building.
Robert Brown, foreman for May & Co.
for eight months past, has accepteil a po-
sition at Oil City, I*a. He is succeeded
here by Frank Gtistafson, who has been
in the employ of the firm for a number of
years.
Walter Mott made us a friendly call re-
cently, and Mr. Evans from Richmond
also sojourned in our midst a tew days.
There is a good demand for Spring beil-
ding stock, and the growers are hustling
to get everything potted and shifted in
time for Decoration Day trade.
Veritas.
Galveston, Tex.
The flower bu.siness in Galveston has
been much better than could have been
expected, especially when one thinks of
what we went throxigh. It seemed as if
everybody felt the.y needed something in
the way of flowers for Easter, at which
time we are used to see our gardens in
full glory. This year many a iilao' looks
bare, and people ask for those pl.-uifs
most which stood the sea water, such as
pritchardias, phtenix, Cycas revoluta,
cannas, etc. Our soil is not yet in very
good condition, and many plants of our
new stock died from the effect of salt
water. In roses, hybrid teas seem to do
much better than teas. We did not have
an.v freeze, and so were lucky to have
some flowers. Mignonette, calendulas,
]iansies, nasturtiums and sweet peas
can be found on some places. I planted
(inite a ((nantity of the extra earl.v
I'.lanche Ferr.v, which started to blooni,
but oidy slowl.v. a month ago; now they
are jilentifid. Emily Henderson is also
commencing to flower.
All bulbs ijlanted after the storm gave
satisfaction. \^'e have a. fine bed of hya-
cinths, also one of daffodils. Xarciss'us,
freesias ami oxalis were fine. The sale of
callas has been better than in any other
year, and lily of the valley sold as fast as
they could be raised.
('has. Steding h.-id some fine spir.T'as in
bloom for lOaster, and did not get left
with them, either.
Some money was spent for church and
altar decoration, but not much, as this
work is mostly in the hands of ladies,
and they try their best to get it done
cheaply, for sweet charit.v's sake.
Many an order went to the cemetery
this year, elaborate pieces, too; but tho.se
most wanted were of the finest long-
stemmed cut flowers.
It is unfortunate that Northern florists
do not seem to send fir.st-(|uality stock so
tar south as Galveston. Second and third
grade flowers are always a total loss.
Good stock will ship well and also keep
well.
From the coast country came in ;i good
deal of Spiiieaiirunifolia, also some home-
grown ro.'ies which sold like hot cakes.
Violets begin to be scarce and only a
few were in the market.
Taken all in all. the florists are satis-
fled. I don't think .Mny of them exi)ected
business to be as good as it turned out,
and if the loss onshijipedcut flowers had
not been so great, m)t as regards high
price, but poor(iuality. trade would have
been remarkably good. C. E.

EastiT Batiness.
So far as we can learn the past
Easter was the best yet in the history of
the business in this city. The wholesale
men sold out well in ever.vthing but l)ulb-
otis stock, principally Von Sion narcis-
sus. In some instances they were 2.') jj.er
cent, short on good stock. I.,ilies were
not nearly in sufficiency to supply the de-
mand, as shipments were short of prom-
ises; they averaged $15 per 100,sometew
going as high as $2 per dozen. Good
roses sold at 8c., a few fancies bringing
10c., with short supply. The top price
on carnations was 8c. for a tew Mrs.
Thomas W. Lawson; (ic. for other good
kinds.
One wholesale man reports an extra
heavy shipping trade away ahead of
Christmas.
The leading store men also report, the
heaviest Easter trade on recoi'd. Plants
sold better than ever before; good plants
of lilies sold out early, and there were not
nearly enough to supply the demand.
.\zalea.^, of which there was an tmusually
large suppl.v, sohl splemlidly; the same
can be said of Crimson Rambler roses
and rhododendr<jns.
Roses retailed at $2.50 to $3 per dozen;
carnations, 75c. to $1..50 per dozen;
American Beaut.v roses, as high as $12
per dozen for the best.
The weather was anything but good.
Fi'iday was a miserably rainy day, .Satur-
day threatening, cool and windy. Had
the weather been at all favorable at least
25 per cent, more busim^ss would have
been done.
Since Easter.
Trade since Easter has been (|uite
fair. Colored stock is very plentiful;
white in roses and carnations quite scarce.
.\ good article in white carimtions will
firing as much as a fancy G. H. Crane or
The Marcpiis, which is 3c. Best roses sell
at 5c. to fie, with whitesorts scarce. Not
many lilies are in market. A'iolets are
practically over; the few connng in are
small and ne.-irly worthless. The same
can be said of bulbous stock.
Nursery Trade.
The season here has been cinite sat-
isfactoi-y. Trade in fruit-tree lines has
been good; in local city trade, onl.v mod-
erately so. No great amount of planting-
has been done, excci)t atthe water works,
where some $700 or $800 have been ex-
pended.
There is one town in the United States
that has honored floriculture in the nam-
ing of its streets, viz., the small town of
West I'alm Beach, Florida, the business
end of a noted Winter resort — I'alm
Beach proper. The names of its streets
are as follows; Olive, Datura, Poiiiciaii;i,
Clematis, I'.anyau, Hiliiscns, Narcissus.
I think that is about all the streets it
has. C. C. S.

LABELS
When you ship a Box, Crate or Package of PLANTS or CUT FLOWERS you want a
label to place thereon — not a plain, ordinary, everyday tag, but a characteristic
card of good size, bearing a design or emblem in red ink, which will at once draw
the attention of handlers to the contents thereof, and give the expressman or carrier
to understand the nature of the goods he is handling, and that there must be no
delay or monkeying with same. We have prepared these labels in Two Appropriate
Designs, one for Live Plants, one for Cut Flowers, and offer them in five sizes, and
printed in Two Colors on various qualities of cardboard for tacking on, or of paper tor
pasting on.. We quote prices as follows, Cash with Order, F. 0. B. N. Y. :

L^TER REPORTS.
Ddbuque, Ia.— Sales were a little
larger, with greater demand for medium-
priced flowering plants than last year.
Cut flowers brought about same figures
as usual, and were fairly plentiful, with
a slight shortage in lilies. — W. A. H.
Milwaukee.— Our Easter trade was
about the same as last year's. Lilies sold
for $1 per dozen more than other stock.
Flowering plants were in good demand.
— C. Bros.
Minneapolis. — There was an unusually
large quantity of cut flowers and plants
■sold in this city at Easter. Thelargestde-
111 a ml \y;is for lilies, next spiraeas. Azaleas
and hydrangeas went slow. The supply
was e(iual to the call, but most every-
tliing was sold. All are well satisfied
with the trade. Carnations and roses
sold best in cut flowers. — E. N. & Co.
Newark, N. J.— Easter business would
have been splemlid had not bad weather
set in. Plants, as usual, sold best. Lilies
were in demand; the supply ran short,
(iood Crimson Kambler roses sold fast;
also liougainvillea and small pots of daf-
fodils, tulips; hyacinths sold weU at usual
prices. The cut-flower trade was no good
except in violets. — A. B.
Worcester, Mass.— Trade for Easter
was very good, and but for the weather
the sales would have exceeded those of
any previous year by a long way. Potted
plants were abundant with the exception
ot azaleas. Crimson Rambler roses are
growing In popularity, especially short,
bushy ones. Heaths, too, are growing in
favor. Potted lilies were cleaned up.
Bulbous stock in pots and pans sold
unusually well; cut lilies did not sell as
well as usual, most customers preferring
a plant. In cut flowers violets sold well,
as also did carnations, even the ordinary
grade bringing 75c. per dozen. Roses did
not bring as high a price as usual at
Easter time, there being a greater quan-
tity of stock on the market.— W. E. S.
Manchester, N. H.— Easter trade in
Manchester was unusually large this
year. Flowers and pot plants were in
great demand. Bulbous- stock took the
lead, and the number of lilies sold will
easily double that of last year. Twenty-
five cents a bloom was the prevailing
price. Hyacinths, narcissus, tulips and
daffodils sold readily at 50c. and 75c. per
dozen. Carnations were in great demand
and brought the usual price— 50c. to
$1.50 per dozen, according to quality.
Hybrid roses sold well at $3 to %5. The
Ray Brook Garden Co. had a fine display
of pot plants and cut flowers in their
window.
Between 700 and 800 pots of lilies were
sold, and business in general was much in
advance of last year. Ingram & Co. had
an excellent display of lilies. — L.
Kalamazoo, Mich. — Easter trade inKa-
lamazoo this year.was without doubt, the
most successful on record. Business was
first-class with evei-y florist here and
show-ed an increase over last year's in
every case. The weather was most fa-
vorable all the week for the grower and
retailer both, hastening the crops and
making deliveries easy. Roses, especially
American Beauty, were in full crop, and
with the possible exception of carnations,
plenty of stock was on hand in evei-y line
of cut flowers. Prices on these ranged as
usual, viz.: Roses, $1 to $3 per dozen;
carnations, 40c. to $1 per dozen; violets,
25c. per bunch; bulbous stock, 50c. to
75c. per dozen. Lilies sold well at from
15c. to 20c. each. Pot plants were in
abundance and cleared out well; no nov-

cities were noted, but a most satisfac-
tory trade was done in the usual line of
Easter plants. — S. B.
Washington, D. C. — We noted nothing
particularly different from other years in
this Easter's trade, having liad about as
much business as we possibly could at-
tend to. We found the azalea plant in
popular sizes the best seller, at from ^2
to $5 each. Lily plants, of which there
was plenty, sold splendidly. There was
nothing novel or new that we noted. We
did, however, have 500 short dwarf aza-
lea plants, some three or four in a pan,
which sold rapidly at $2 and $3 per pan.
Also very short azaleas in 5-inch pots
which were quickly taken up.
In cut flowers carnations seemed to sell
best, at 50c. and $1 per dozen, although
$1.50 and f 2 per dozen would not have
been excessive, as there "was not near
enough flowers to supply the demand.
Roses were plentiful and good; prices
about the same as last year's. IJulbous
flowers were better than usual and held
their ow-n at fair prices, with nothing to
waste. Violets, as usual, were wonder-
ful sellers, and the supply seemed equal to
the demand. Never before have violets
been so plentful at Easter, our firm sell-
ing 45,000 in two days.
Of the poorer selling stock, spiraea was
possibly the worst. Fine plants were
really dragging at from 50c. to $1 each.
There is nothing especially new or at-
tractive in the florist business at present,
but in this glad Easter season we are
happy in the possession of tw^o little
angel daughters, one presented to the
senior member on March 28 and the
other to the junior member on April 9.
The joy of their presence is not marred by
the usual sickness, as the happy mother's
and children are doing well. — A. GunE &
Bro.
HARTFORn, Conn.— Easter sales aver-
aged good consideringthe very unfavora-
ble weather. Dealers made preparations
for a big trade, consequently there was
plenty of stock on hand, especially in the
plant line, and some was left over. Had
the weather been less inclement every-
thing would have sold out clean, in
potted plants, azaleas and lilies sold best.
Some fine azaleas were to be had a few
days before Easter, but by Saturday only
a few good ones could be found. They
brought from $1 to $5 each. Lilies were
about equal in supply to the demand;
perhaps a few more good ones could have
been disposed of. They brought 20c. and
25c. per blossom. There was a good sale
for tulips and Von Sion narcissus in pots
and pans— a marked increase over former
years. They brought from 25c. to 50c.
per pot and from 50c. to $1.50 per pan.
Very little call was experienced for either
hyacinths or lily of the valley in pots or
pans, and most of the dealers used them
for cut flowers. Hydrangeas and rhodo-
dendrons sold fairly welt at from $2 to
$5 each.
In cut fiowers the supply was about
equal to the demand, excepting carna-
tions, which were very scarce. Some very
fine Bride and Bridesmaid roses were in
the market, and brought $1.50 and $2
per dozen. Violets were in abundance
and good in quality; they sold for $1 per
100. Roman hyacinths, tulips, daffodils
and lily of the valley all were plentiful
and sold well at 50c. and 75c. per dozen.
Tulips and daffodils met with the best
demand in this line. But few good car-
nations could be obtained ; in fact, none
of the dealers would book any orders
ahead for these flowers. Those available
sold readily at from 50c. to $1 per dozen.
Cut lilies brought $2 to $3 a dozen;
mignonette realized 75c. and $1 per
dozen. All of the Easter stock was in
first-class condition. The sales were per-
haps a little ahead of last year's, but if
the weather had been more propitious
the receipts would have shown 20 or 35
per cent, increase. — J. F. C.

Business B'ts.
Business after Easter was rather
quiet, although this weeli the horse sliow
has increased the demand for violets in
the retail stores. Still the general trade
is rather quiet. Stock is becoming more
plentiful. In roses all kinds are in supply
sufficient to meettlie demand. Many are
selling very cheap, Bride and Brides-
maid especially so, quite good roses only
realizing $1.50 and $2 per 100. The
liner grades bring up to $8 per 100; fan-
cies. S>nO; American Beautyholdat about
tlie same prices as last ipuitiMl. Ulrich
Bninner and General .Jacinu'niinot, which
are in good supply, make $1.50 to $3 per
dozen for good to special grades.
Carnations have become more abun-
dant and values have dropped. Many
good carnations can now be bought for
$2 per 100, while the finer grades make
$2.50 and $3, with fancies at $4 per 100.
Quantities of inferior grades sell at less
than $2.
The supply of bulbous flowers contin-
ues very heavy, though there are signs of
a let-up. Prices on' this stock remain
about where they have been for some feAv
weeks past. Lilies are very plentiful:
much of the belated Easter stock is com-
ing in, and $8 per 100 is the ruling figure
for No. 1 blooms. Callas, too, are in
good supply, but move pretty well at $6
and $8. Lily of the valley is plentiful,
there being lots of the smaller grades,
which sell at $1.50 and $2 per 100; the
larger ones, which are in good supply,
also, make $2 to $4.
Sweet peas sell very well at $1.50 per
100 for finest grade; $1 and $1.25 for
smaller ones.
Atuong; Groirers.
The stock of Nephrolcpis bostoni-
ensis at L. H. Foster's grccnlimiscs, King-
Street, Dorchester, is superli just imw,
and the sight of about 20,000 ferns, all
in perfect health, is a very pleasant one.
Mr. Poster's known reputation as a
grower of this handsome fern has been
fully lived up to in this year's production.
Fine kentia, cocos and latnnia palms are
also extensively grown, and the standard
of excellence niaintaineil. .V gcjod line of
bedding stock will be ready for the mar-
ket sliortly.
Here and Tbere.
At the meeting on Tuesday evening of
the committee of the Gardeners and Flo-
rists' I'liib which has in hand the
arrangenirnts for the gi'and chrysanthe-
mum promenade concert and ball in No-
vember, the project was taken up with
enthusiasm. Many sub-committees were
appointed, on which were placed members
representing all branches of the trade.
After its business had been transacted the
committee resolved itself into a club meet-
ing, and resolutions of condolence were
adopted on the death of Mrs. Robert
Cameron, wife of the superintendent of
the Botanic Gardens at i 'a iiilnirlge. The
committee adjourned till 'I'uesday even-
ing, April 30.
P. Welch is receiving the congratula-
tions of his many friends on the birth of

Market Notes.
Although the stores have been doing
a fair amount of business, there is such a
large stock of flowers on hand that the
impression that there is not much doing
is created. - Roses are very plentiful,
American Beauty and white roses being
in greatest numbers. A large quantity
of single narcissus from Virginia is now
coming in. Most of this stock goes to
the street men at $2 to $3 per 1,000.
Horticultural Society Alet-tlng.
The Pennsylvania Horticultural
Society meeting on Tuesday evening last
was well attended. Short cultural pa-
pers were read by Francis Canning on
primulas, by John Thatcher on Begonia
Gloire de Lorraine, and by John Hobson
on Primula sinensis. The exhibition
was a good one. Competition for the
prize offered by Mr. Samuel T. Bodine for
Iiydrangeas brought out five entries.
Ernst Schrieber, gardener to Mr. William
L. Elkins, took first prize, and George
Robertson, gardener to Mr. C. B. New-
bold, second. .John Thatcher, gardener to
Mr. T5. L,e Boutillier, took first for ama-
ryllis; he staged some good plants, the
flowers being very large and rich in color.
All were hybrids.
The prizes for cut blooms of pansies
offered by H. Waterer brought out five
entries. George Robertson was first, and
George Graham, gardener to Mr. Charles
Hartshorne, second. Henry F. Michell
offered prizes for the new spir^as Glad-
stone and Washington. Victor Holmes,
gardener to Mr.C. L. Borie, Jr., took first
and F. Canning second. The prize for
Cineraria stellata, offered by the same
firm, brought out some good plants.
Thos. Holland, gardener to Mr. Lincoln
Godfrey, took first with a grand plant,
it being about 31/2 feet high and the same
in diameter. This variety is rapidly gain-
ing favor and makes a fine decorative
subject.
The prizes offered by Henry A. Dreer
were for lettuce, radishes and Deutzia
gracilis rosea. They were awai-ded to
Wm. Robertson, gardener to Mr. John
W. Pepper; John McCleary, gardener to
Mr.Wm. Weightman,and Wm. Robertson,
in order given.
It has been decided to offer tour silver
medals at the November exhibition, as
follows: For the best chrysanthemum
plant,for the best fern, for the best palm,
and for the best foliage plant in the show
other than palm or fern. The awards
not to be made to unworthy exhibits.
The Society of American Florists and
Ornamental Horticulturists has appropri-
ated one silver and one bronze medal, to
be awarded through the Pennsylvania
Horticultural Society at one of its public
exhibitions for new plants or flowers of
American origin. These medals will also
be competed for at the November exhibi-
tion. David Rust.

Trade Conditions.
The festive affairs now on calling
for flowers are but minor in character,
so trade is only moderate. Flowers are
plentiful for all demands, but not in any
special excess. The weather has turned
quite pleasant, albeit still cool and com-
paratively dry.
Some of the craft locally give decided
and unfavorable expression regarding
the action of a leading local pillar in sup-
plying plants for sale to a department
store at Easter. Perhaps certain local
conditions justified such circumstance;
but in view of our city not as yet
being encroached on by the flower fakir,
it seems wrong that the bargain counter
of the ubiquitous department store
should receive any encouragement direct
by the craft.
Park Commissioner Wm. F. Kasting
has been appointed chairman of com-
mittee of the Botanic Gardens.
S. A. F. O. H. Matters.
An active club meeting was held last
week. It was devoted largel.y to reports
on coming convention details, the which
seem to be in fair progress. W.A.Adams,
479 Main Street, is chairman of the Com-
mittee on Hotels, and has taken up with
the duties of that important feature in
an indefatigable manner. Incidentallj',
no difflculty whatever in a ready placing
of all comers to their satisfaction is an-
ticipated. The expected overflow, if such
exists here this Summer, will be readily
housed in private homes, the which by
the thousands will open their doors to
guests at rates extremely modest as re-
gards charges for sleeping accommoda-
tions, while eating places promise to be
more than abundant.
J. F. Cowell gave a brief and interest-
ing recount of his recent trip to .Jamaica.
C. F. Christenseu and Geo. J. Reickert

Whether all is ready or no, the great
exposition is slated to open on May 1,
with a civic hoHday anil appropriate
accompaniments, and from peanut con-
cessions and boarding house interest to
the recent placing of a haU million of
bonds, "which was done locally in three
days, the city is fully alive and agog to
the affair. A visit to the grounds shows
a good bit of garden work still to be
done: but the finishing touches will be
executed quickly under Messrs. Ulrich and
Scott, so the same no doubt will tally up
all right. The growing tulip display is
of dimensions large enough to be itself a
veritable attraction of unusual merit. ^ ,

Trade After Easter.
\Vt' have luul a wook of nearly all
sunsliiiu' and more Spring-like weatlu'r.
Stock is abundant, with trade very quiet,
rriees have dropped; it is impossible to
hold them up. The best long-stemmed
American Beaut.v roses cannot be sold at
above $3 to $3..")0 per dozen: teas, ex-
tras, at $5 to $G: carnations, fine stock,
at $1.50 to $2: fancies, $3 to S-i, but few
at the latter figure. Lilies ami callas
are down to S.") to S6 per 100. (Juitc a.
(lUantit.v of belated stock is in the mar-
ket, so the prici' will probably stay at ?.~i
to $.S. r.ulbous tliiwi'rs are still very
abundant an<I uaturall.v i)rices on such
suffer with the rest. Southern daffodils
help swell the plethora; these will make
but poor retvnns after freight and com-
mission charges are <leducted. Mixed
flowers, like heliotrnpe, jiansies, al.vssum,
stocks, nasturtiums, forget-me-not, and
others, are now showing up. Ciiute a
few sweet peas are in the market, but
are neither good in color nor c|ualit,v;
75c. to $1 is as high as tliey will go.
Smilax is not plentiful, but there is sulii-
cient for all demands.
From this on prices will probably go
down to general Sjjring figures, with
plenty of evidence that there will lie no
lack of stock.
The season is somewhat backward as
compared to last year. Buds of lilacs,
for example, are now ti-.ving to burst. In
I'JOO rains were very mucli more fre(iuent
and heavier than we have got this year
so far. The soil is in fine condition for
planting, and the caruatiouists exiiccl
soon to begin setting out their stock.
Back from the lake a few miles buds are
already breaking, and, as usual, ahead of
those in the near lake shore region.
\'aughan's seed store is daily crowded
with customers — a pretty good indica-
tion that Spring is upon us, and busy

Trade Not* 8.
I'lUsiuess durinR- the past week was
sood in nearly all branches. Weddings
that alwa.vs follow Lent were numerons,
and stock bein;; plentiful the florists had
no trouble in filling- all orders. Roses are
('s]iiri.-ill,v good and in supply, selling at
viTv irasiiiinlplc prices. Carnations are
in (icniaiid, with scarcely enough to fill
orders; esioecially is this true o£ "white
sorts. William Scott is the only one that
drags, and is sold because no other pink
can be had in quantity.
An Exhibition,
Saturday wound up the monthly
shows atthe Flower Market. The prizes
offere<l were mostly for plants and bulb-
ous stock. George & Allan carried off
nearly all the premiums on the latter,
Gns. Adrian those on hydrangeas, and
Jlenry Schwarz those for roses and be-
gonias.
At the niccting held in the evening
much business w.-is transacted. Tlie di-
rectors of the Fall festival were present
and urged the florists to put a- float in
the trades parade. This matter was
held over, to be taken up at the May
meeting. While I know that many of the
craft are not in favor of such a float, I
feel that it would be a great mistake for
the florists of Cincinnati to ignore this
matter. We must not let this industrial
Iiaracle go upon our streets with the
tliirists uiire])resented. I hope that all
the Cincinii.-iti brethren will consider this
matter fully and come to a favorable
ilecision.
The annual outing was also up for dis-
cussion, but it was looked upon as being
rather a light matter. I believe in these
annual outings, and while the last ones
we have had have not been successes,
that was due to the elements, which were
;igainst us. If nothing else, the outings
biiiig the craft together and help more
than any other thing to promote good
fellowship.
The American Rose Co. shipped 50
blooms of their new rose Ivory on the
14th, which arrived in splendid condition
Tuesday morning. A special committee
a warded the variety a certiflcateof merit.
In its class it certainly is a good rose,
and if as prolific as it looks, there is a
I)laee for it. The first time it was exhib-
ited here it failed to score by one or two
points. This was due, I think, to the
condition of the flowers upon arrival.

European Notes.
S|)rin<;- iii a simiewliat nioditifd form is
with us at last, and beariiij; in mind the
early date <)n wliicli Kastcr felt this year,
the conditions may fairly be described as
uorniaL As the land has been thoroughly
pulverized by the recent frosts, the later
sowings of annual crops are now being
made under the most favorable condi-
tions. As a general thing, these are fuHy
three weeks later than last year. Radish
is even more behind, particularly in
France, where, as already reported, the
growers have proved quite unreasonable
in ilieir ideas of value. The mischief
wrought by the late sowings will be in-
creased later on if a dry spell sets in at
the time of transplanting, as has been the
case during the past two years.
To the seed merchant anxious to fulfill
his obligations in connection with his
contracts, the position, is both disquiet-
ing and unprofitable.
Biennial plants have improved some-
what during the past ten days, and were
the acreage twice as largo as it is we
might just manago tn pull through. This
applies to farm, flower and vegetable
seeds.
Trade in Europe keeps very quiet all
round: everybody appears to be afraid
to lay in a lieavy stock at the present
high prices, and some extra sharp dealers
who tried to create a corner ai'e now
proclaiming their folly by frantic adver-
tisements which clearly lu't ray the quality
of the goods they have loft on hand.
The brighter weather is liringing otit

Market Ne^vs.
Owing to the very unfavorable
weather business during the past week
has been very slow. On Saturday last we
were treated to unlimited snow which
mostly melted as it fell; it was really one
of the most unpleasant days we have ex-
perienced in some months, and business
suffered accordingly. Stock, excepting
violets, is yet plentiful, and as the hor.se
show will be in full swing this week, there
is no doubt the retailers will have good
trade.
Quite a large quantity of stock was in
the St. Lawrence Market on Saturday,
but sales were very slow, and a large
quantity of cut blooms was spoiled. Spi-
rteas and Harrisii lilies were much in evi-
dence; there is but little demand for them.
I fancy the spiraeas will have to be dropped
for a year or two, as the.y are certainly
not popular just now. There has also
been an over-supply of yellow narcissus
in this locality this Winter, a large quan-
tity of the blooms being sold for consider-
abl.v less than the advertised prices of the
bulbs.
Association Items,
The executive committee of the
Gardeners and Florists' Association has
prepared the prize list for the chrysan-
themum show, but it is not printed yet.
The April meeting of the Association
was devoted to the entertainment of the
ladies. We had torthe first time a" ladies'
night" and it was an enjoj'able one. The
idea had been spoken of several times, but
it remained for W. .J. Lawrence, our pres-
ent president, to carry it out. Mr. Law-
rence is a fine singer and musician; he
undertook to provide a programme of
music for the evening, and right well he
carried out his promise. Over eighty
members and their friends were present.
Light refreshments were served during
the evening. I think all enjoyed them-
selves, and that a ladies' night will now
be a regular institution. There was a flue
show of roses, carnations and tulips on
tlie tables, most of them coming from J.
11. Diinlop, W. .J. Lawrence, .Jay & Son;
also some good plants loaned by Mr.
Watkins, of the Horticultural Gardens.

lisli a new orchard of 150,000 trees.
Paiiiesville, O. — Robert Georg:e, of
Storrs *fc Ilai-rison Co., has in course of
construction a very fine dwelling' immedi-
ately opposite his present residence and
adjacent to that of J. .T. Harrison. A
large number of workmen are employed
on the work.
One hundred and ninety-three cars of
nurser.v stock h.are been loaded from the
pi'emises of the Storrs & Harrison Co.
from ilarch 1 to April 11, and the prcs-
pects are that business will improve, as
large orders are held back on account of
the weather.
A recent consular report, dated Winni-
peg, Man., states: " There is a large .and
growing demand for nursery stock in
Manitoba and the northwest territories,
and the supply, notwithstanding the
tariff, should come largely from the
United States, as trees and shrubs propa-
gated in the northwestern states are bet-
ter adapted to this climate than those
produced elsewhere.''
Nurserymen Are at Home. — At the
present time the only traveling nursery-
men are doing is about their own
grounds. This in itself is sufflcieut. Flo-
rists who go through an Easter or a
Christmas willkuow what it means when
it is said that the whole of April is to the
nurserymen one perj^etual Easter or
Christmastide, and the present April
seems to beat all records. As there is
but a. month of this rush, it is not practi-
cable to have all skilled men to do the
work, .and much of it fnllson the jiroprie-
tors themselves. What little personal
corresiiondence is being done between
nurserymen at this time reveals the fact
that all of them are exceedingly busy,
lu the Midille .States the weather has been
generally favorable, having been cool and
damp.
Importation of Nursery Stock. — The
importation of nurser.v stock is not as
large as heretofore, judging from tlie re-
plies received from our nursery corres-
pondents. While this is true of their own
experience,the agents of theforeign houses
who reside in our seaport cities tell us
that many of the European nurser.v firms
are almost cleaned out of stock by the
demaiuls from this side. Tlie.\' say that
in both frint stocks and oi-n;nni'iit;ils. an
exceedingly large business lijis hcen done.
Tariff laws have hindi-reil hut little, be-
c-vuse, as a, rule, the stock imported can-
not be produced here without a great
deal of trouble. Fruit stocks, especially
apples, are grown to some extent, but
the climate docs not suit the seedlings so
well .as does th.at of Europe. Rhododen-
<lrons, azaleas, kalmias, andromeda.s,
and I)road-Ie<aved evergreens generally
can be grown in lOurope to much better
advantage than with us. No donitt there
are many loc.-iiities hei'e as well suited for
the cultivation of these jjlants :is cnii be
found in IOuro]ii\ but ill the lat t I'r t lie ex-
act requirements of success in the grow-
ing of t1ie.se plants .are known to the
growers, h.aving been acr|iiired through
.years of observation. A tariff on these
pl.ants will h.ardly do anything to build
up the industry of producing tlieni here,
Jiiid save for revenue it is of no use.
Still, as a mere question of whether or
not it has affected importations, it may
be said, we believe, that it has not hin-
dered them in the least, there being as
many i)laiits imported as before the tiiriff
laws were enacted. The explanation
must be looked for in the general jiros-
perity prevailing, enabling the purchaser
to afford the added price made necessary
by the tariff charges.
Stocking Up for Next Season. — With
the growing dem.'ind forjilants at Easter
time, it wmild be well for flori.sts and
others iiitercsti'd to look around to see
to the getting together of such stock as
will be iiv.iilabli' for the purpose. In a
pri'vions ai-t ii-le mention was made of the
.iapanese snowball as having proved a
good forcing ]ilaiit in the hands of some
florists. The earl.v blooming shrubs are
the ones to force. The .yellow jasmine,
.lasminum nudiflorum, the golden bell,
fors.vthia, and ('ornus Mas are three yel-
low flowers which bloom outdoors short-
ly after Easter. The flowering almond
and dwarf flowering iieaches are most
beautiful when in blossom: weig'elas,
mock orange, deutzias and all such kinds
that flower before the close of May can
lie fcu'ced. The length of time from the
bursting of the buds till flowering occurs
when in a natural stnte will guide those
who propose forcing the pl.-mts.
As it is the young slio<jts which flower
if plants are obtaineil now. it will be
proper to prune them back closely, to in-
duce a nice growth of young wood. This
subject 's\'as touched on in some notes
which appeared recently in this depjirt-
ineut, but mention is iiuide of it again
as a reminder before the seiison goes b.v.
The previous notes will bc.-ir rereading
by those A\ho jiropose getting together
some of these shrubs.
.Vnother matter which will be well to
think over is the stocking uji with young
plants likely to be called for. Siiperin-
tendents of large jihices, such as parks
and cemeteries, find it useful to have a
'■ nursery," as well as maii.A' florists.
This nursery is stocked with small plants
of stock \\'anted in the future, and as
plants are required for permanent
planting or for customers the " nursery "
is called on for specimens. .\ lot of little
plants cost but a trifle, as the catalogues
of nurserymen show, and these little
plants make useful stock in .a very short
space of time. Joseph Meehan.

CliicaKO — The Howling Club for sfjuie
little tiim> li.is been rather i|uiet, but pro-
|]ii.si's by .M:iy to get into working- order
again ready for the fray at Buffalo. A
.series of games will be begun by the mem-
bers to determine, by highest scores, who
are to defend the cup already in the club's
possession, as well as to fight for supre-
macy in other contests. After the meet-
ing on Friday evening, half a dozen mem-
bers ailjourned to a new alley. The score
appended clearly shows some practice is
needed. The first issue was a game with-
out sides when Wintersoii sliowed up
with l.')l, (irant 14iS, Kreitliiig 1 1:7, Kear-
don 1-!+, McAdams 12-i, Hauswirth, low

as follows:

New York. — At the alleys on Monday
evening, April 22, there was a slight rip-
ple of excitement occasioned by L. C.
Hafuer offering a Dunlaphat to be rolled
tor by two amateurs. The match was to
be decided by the best two out of three
games, but a third was unnecessary, the
winner taking two straight.

Market Report.
Ti-iiile here has hefii quite good
since last report; iu fact, there has been
a little .shortage the past few days In
nood quality of stock. Prices keep up
A-ery well, and are about as follows:
Koses ;ie. to 6c.; carnations, 2c. to 4c.;
violets 2.")C. to S.'jc. per 100; lilies 10c. to
12c. American Beauty have been practi-
cally out of the market lately, beinft- en-
tirely off crop. Smilax is very scarce and
hard to procure in quantity.
The weather is still too cold to think
much about bedding, though people be-
gin to make inquiries, and a few have put
out plants. The thermometer has been
down to nearly freezing several times of
late. Beyond this little cold we have not
experienced any of the storm recently vis-
iting oureastern friends. Taking it alto-
gether, we have had a ver.y agreeable
Winter and Spring; almost anything
would live out the past Winter; an<l the
Spring, though late, has given nursery-
men a long season. A fine fruit crop is
assured. Peaches are just ready to burst
into bloom. H.yacinths are in flower in
the open ground.
News Xotee.
C. A. Kuehn had on exhibition some
of the new carnation Mrs. E. A. Nelson.
It attracted a great deal of attention,
and was pronounced by those who saw
it as being the bestpink out, being larger
than Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson with all
the points that go to make a perfect car-
nation.
II. F. Tesson has the sympathy of the
craft, in the death of his father, which
occurred recently. The deceased was not
identified with the florist business. He
was a very estimable gentleman, a de-
scendant of the first families, and had
hosts of friends.
Thomas Carroll, who at one time was
the most successful carnation grower in
the city , recently returned from California,
to attend the funeral of his wife. He will
probably remain here. Mr. Carroll totally
lost his eyesight several years ago. We
are sorr.y to add that he has no means of
obtaining a livelihood, and is undecided
as to the best course to pursue.

Fertilizer Chemicals in Carnation
Culture.
In I'arl III. of the Iteport of thel'on-
necticiit A^ricniturai lOx peri men t Station
Professors 10. H. .lenkins and W. E. I'.rit-
ton give the results of experiments with
some chemical fertili/.ers aiipiieii to car-
nations, chietly showing tlie effects of
lime wlien eniploved in these I'liltures.
Slaked lime in amoniits of loo, 2211 and
^UO grams was used in difl'erellt plots,
in conjunction with nitrate of soda,
ei|iiivalent nitrogen, dissolved bone
black, eiinivaleiit. iiliosporic acid, muriate
of potash and eiiuivalent potash, in asoil
composed of coal ashes and peat moss.
In a soil of compost the fertilizers applied
were nitrateof soda, equivalent nitrogen,
with the addition of slaked lime. The
conclusions arrived at are that 100
grams of slaked lime per plot gave better
results than a largerijii.-iiitit.v when used
with a soil of coal .islies and ]icat moss
and fertilizer chemicals: and that where
larger i|uantities were used the number
of flowers was considerably- decreased.
This was true, both where the fertilizer
was all mixed with the soil at time of set-
ting the plants and where doses of nitro-
gen were sulKseiiuentl.v applied. In the
compost soil the greatest number of
flowers was harvested from the plot
which received the maxininm quautit.v
of lime. The chief differences noted from
var.ying (|naiitities of lime were in the
varying number of flowers per plant
rather than in any marked difference in
the average sizeand weight of the flowers
or in the length of stem. The stiffness of
the stems was not noticeably affected by
the lime.

Eft'eots of Bad Weather.
The weather is a knotty problem,
and unle.ss we get some sunshiny days,
bedding plants will be very slow in g'et-
ting into bloom for Decoration Day.
Tliere is a, plenty of roses, but as the
demand is for good stock only, seconds
have to be used up in funeral work. (Uir-
nations are still scarce, particularly white
sorts. The scarcit,y of this flower is due
largely to brisk shipping trade. Bulbous
stock is practically out of this market,
except lilies, which still come straggling
into bloom. One tirm's experience with
1,000 L. Harrisii, is about as follows:
The plants were all to flower for the holi-
days; of the lot 400 did not come up at
all; of the GOO that did, about 300
(lowered from December 20 to .lannary
10; 200 straggled along till Easter, auil
about 100 are dead sure to come into
flower in time for next (.'hristmas.
During the bad weather the past week,
Itruinslot & Sons had the niksfortune to
have their boiler spring a leak; the ther-
mometer was down to Ki degrees and
with no fire, the geranium leaves, etc.,
were frozen stiff. The firm syringed with

Government Seed Contract for 1901.
We referred in last week's issue to cer-
tain charges made by the AVholesale Seeds-
men's League of stated irregularities in
the methods of the Seed Division of the
Department of Agriculture in the carry-
ing out of this year's contract for the free
distribution of seeds by the Government.
.So sure are the Wholesale Seedsmen's
League of their grounds that a letter has
been written by the secretary of the
League to the Secretary of Agriculture,
the Comptroller of the Treasury and the
Disbursing Officer of the Department of
Agriculture, at Washington, protesting
against the payment of cash on the
vouchers of the contractor. The letter to
the Secretary of Agriculture and the
Comptroller reads as follows:
Dear Sir: By authority of the
Board of Directors of the Wholesale
Seedsmen's League, and in the name
of that trade organization, I lodge
with you a formal protest against
the payment of cash upon the
vouchers of the New York Market
Gardeners' Association for the supply-
ing to the Department of Agriculture
of worii purporting to have been
done, and for the following reasons:
1 — The specific varieties of seeds in-
dicated in the printed specifications
of the 27tli of .January, 1900, have
not been supplied, but very common
and very cheap sorts substituted, this
giving the contractor great advan-
tages.
2— No varieties whatever are named
on the printed packets, only the
words " A selected variety," this giv-
ing the contractor great advantages.
3— The stipulated weights named
in the specifications of the 27th of
January, 1900, have not been given,
but reduced quantities — from 10 to
50 per cent, less than the specifica-
tions, this giving thecontractor great
advantages.
4 — Because of other irregularities
which can be named, giving the con-
tractor extraordinary advantages
for enormous profits.
Truly Yours,
Burnet Landeeth, Secretary.
It is beUeved that there is sufficient evi-
dence in the hands of the Seedsmen's
League to substantiate the charges pre-
ferred.
With respect to charge No. 2, to the
effect that " no varieties are named on the
printed packets, only the words ' a select-
ed variety; ' " while this is correct in the
great majority of cases, there is, appar-
eutl.v, no arbitrary condition expressed
by tlie wording of the Government's spe-
cification calling for the naming of varie-
ties contained in the packets distributed.
The stipulation relative to this matter
sent out by the Secretary of Agricul-
ture, and accompanying thespecification,
is as follows: "The seeds, together with
all material necessary to make them
ready for distribution, and all labor con-
nected therewith, the necessary printing
on seed packets relative to variety, cul-
ture, etc., also the place of conducting
and carrying on the work of distribution
are all to be at the expense of the con-
tractor. In other words, the seeds are
to be furnished all ready for mailing in
packages of five or more packets each, as
may be required, each package to show
the kind of seed contained therein, and
delivered in United States mail sacks at
the nearest postoftice, or to the mail car-
riers of the Senate and House of Eepre-
sentatives."
Those respc )nsilile tc ir tliis year's clistrilni-
tion of .seed.s liavet.iken .iilvautage (if the
loophole afforded liy the astonishingly
indefinite language of the stipulation iii
question, rendered so by the effort to give
it greater perspicuity, to use the words
" a selected variety."
On the other hand, the object of the free
seed distribution is to furnish the farmer
and cultivator with such seeds as will be
beneficial to him, and how is he to know
for future use the variety he has been
favored with by the Government, and is
growing, unless its name appears on the
package? Of what help is it to the farmer
to be thus kept in ignorance? Why should
he be asked to plant something regard-
ing which he knows absolutely nothing?
AU reputable seedsmen are not afraid
to call "a spade a spade." They
name the seeds they sell to their clients;
that name appears" on the seed pacliet,
and the naming takes the form of a
surety to the purchaser that he is
getting that for which he pays. The
United States Government has bought
certain seeds ; these are desired and re-
quired of varieties named in its specifica-
tion. Why should the firm supplying the
Government with such seeds depart from
trade usages and dub the seeds furnished
"selected variety," which means any-
thing or nothing. Is the name of the
"selected variety " unknown to them; it
so, why this ignorance?
It will be seen that to allow of this
being done at once opens up an avenue
for substitution and irregularities of the
worst kind. An explanation of what is
certainly an unnecessary proceeding
where the ordinary and correct methods
of business are in vogue should surely be
demanded.
It appears to us that the time has
arrived when Congress must take some
action in this matter. Our lawmakers
are responsible for what has been rightly
termed, " one of the most farcical and
ridiculous pieces of extravagancethat the
American people has ever indulged in,"
and if into the enjoyment of this extrava-
gance corruption hasentered,the Goveru-
meut should at once aboUsh and forever
that which can only bring it into disre-
pute, besides bringing to book those who
are profiting by such corruption. At any
rate, the charges under consideration,
coming as they do from a body of men
who know what they are talking about,
Congress, or those representing it, on
whom devolves the faithful and honest
performance of one of its enactments,
cannot afford to ignore. The standard of
farming in the Union through irregulari-
ties of the nature charged, will suffer
rather than be promoted; and the time
may not be far distant when, conducted
on the lines along which the ine.seiit car-
i^ying out of the seed contract is alleged
to be conducted, the gratuitous distribu-
tion of common seeds by the Government
will lose votes, instead of winning them,
which latter is its only virtue, and by
reason of which it is allowed to exist, to
the nation's everlasting shame and
financial loss.
Seedsmen and all florists who sell seeds
should at once call the attention of their
respective congressmen to the subject, so
that au investigation of the foregoing
charges be made forthwith.
The Modern Trend.
From Chicago come rumors of combi-
nations and counter combinations. The
retail Uower dealers of that city are com-
bining against the street peddlers of flow-
ers located there with a view to driving
them out of business, and the latter are
combining for their own protection, as
well as, it is alleged, to boycott growers
and wholesalers who do not conform to
certain requirements or against whom
the Greeks have grievances.
Chicago's effort along this line seems
to be of a perennial nature resulting gen-
erally in temporary annoyance to men
wlio are endeavoring to make a living
and the display of a narrow-mindedness
anything but commendatory. Granted
that the street men do not pay the high
rentals of the so-called "legitimate"
flower seller, but neither do rtiey obtain
his high profits, and it is a cjuestion as to
which of the two does the greater mis-
sionary work in spreading a love for the
products of the flower grower.
We would advise the Chicago retailer to
pattern after his more hberal-niinded New
York confrere, and leave the Greek alone.
The latter is filling a niche in the floral
world which so far as has yet shown, he
alone can and is willing to fill; and the
little harm he can or may do to the "legi-
timate''retailer, is counterbalanced many
times by the good he is doing to mankind
in general, and the cutflower grower in
particular. No "man has a right to en-
deavor to deprive a fellow-being of the
opportunity to earn bread and butter for
himself and his family. Any attempt in
this respect is worse than barbarous and
selfish in the extreme.
So the department store plant depart-
ment has reached Buffalo; and ju.st to
think of it, its inception is credited to
Scott. Well, such an event plainly de-
monstrates that that gentleman is pos-
sessed of all his faculties, in a commercial
sense, — to sell wherever he aan find a
market.
The sooner retail florists come to real-
ize that they have no divine right to the
total output of the growers' establish-
ments; that even if tliey had,, the supply
therefrom would be far beyond their (the
retailers) requirements, the better it will
be lor their own peace of mind. Also,
when they are better cognizant of the fact
than they seem to be to-day, that in the
large majority of cases their methods of
procedure in business tend to retard
rather than stimulate the development of
the industry, just so much more will the
flower trade flourish. Some of the more
progressive growers are fully alive to ■
this condition, and contemplate them-
selves getting nearer to the purchasing
public.
There is no set groove along which any
business can run that will make for the
enrichment of one class solely; evei-y trade
has its vagaries in this respect, and the
department store and the street peddler
appear to represent those in the flower
and plant business. Whenever it can be
shown that these institutions are a men-
ace to the well being of the trade in gen-
eral, then should a united effort be made
to suppress them. But so long as there
is need for them, so long as they prove a
help rather than a hindrance, they are
entitled to the same consideration ac-
corded to all other factors that make tor
the welfare of the bodj- politic.
OUR SUPPLEMENT.
Fagus Sjlvatica Purpurea—
Blood-Leaved Beech.
Tlie beautiful specimen of blood-leaved
beech i-eiii-eseiited in this week's colored
illustralioii is growing in Fairmouut
I'ark, I'liilailelipliia, close to the w-ell-
known Hortieiiltural Hall, one of the
buildings still representing the Centennial
Exposition of 1(S76. All beeches are use-
ful andare largely employed by landscape
gardeners, both in our own country and
in Europe. In the latter hedges of beech are
sometimes seen, the native one, Fagus syl-
vatica, being used. Though not employed
in America exactly as a hedge, it is util-
ized for much the same purpose, as it
makes an excellent screen. Its value for
this purpose arises from its bushy habit
of growth and the fact that it holds its
dead foliage all Winter, much as do some
oaks and other trees, not losing its leaves
until the sap rises in Spring. To the
European species we owe many useful
varieties, particularly the cut-leaved, the
fern-leaved, the weeping, and the indis-
pensable one shown in our illustration,
the lilood-leaved. The specimen photo-
graphed shows the well-proportioned
tree, Imt does not, of course, indicate the
lovely dark purplefoliage, itschief attrac-
tion. No one would think, looking at
this bushy ti'ee, that in its early years
this variety is anything but bushy. For
several years it is quite thin, unbke the
parent green one, which is always bushy,
in fact, so very sparse of branches is it
for a while that it takes a great deal of
confidence on the part of a uurserynian's
customer to believe it will ever make a,
bushy tree; but it will in time, assuming
just such a form as the photograph rep-
resents. We do not think this tree was
pruned at all, but represents a purely
natural growth. Almost all blood-leaved
trees and shrubs lose much of their red or
pui'iJle color as the season advances, and
this beech is no exception; but from first
to last there is no mistaking a tree of it
for a green-leaved one. The period of
deepest color is about when the leaves
have reached full development in Spring.
Then there is a period of rest, after which
tlie almost black leaves are less intensely
black, but it is a "blood-leaved beech"
until the leaves wither. The particularly
dark purple form, of which this is a repa
rcsentative, is popularly knownas Elvers'
I'urple, and is perpetuated by grafting.
What are known as copper beeches are
seedlings from the purple, and they are
rarely as purple-colored as the parent,
but more often a copper color or light
purple. Strange to say, they have far
more of the bushy habit of the common
green one than of the Rivers' Purple. A
beecli tree is not an easy subject to trans-
plant. A careful saving of the roots in
transplanting, followed by a good prun-
ing, is recommended. As the picture in-
dicates, this beech is well situated. Its
requirements are met in its having ample
.space to develop, and the white walls of
Horticultural Hall, some 100 yards
away, make a pleasing contrast.

Spraying for Profit.— The Horticul-

practical l)ooklet is now iu the press.
The author, Howard Evarts Weed, M. S.,
recently entomologist of the Mississippi
Experiment Station, presents much Talu-
ahle inlorniation on the subject dealt
with, in small compass. Numerous illus-
trations are dispersed throughout the

A Text Book of Plant Diseases — ll.v
I'rofessor (ieorge Massee, F. I>. S., princi-
pal assistant (cryptogams) Koyal Her-
barium, Kew, Eng. I'ublishcrs, the Mac-
millan Company, New York; price ^1.(50.
The aim of this book is to enable those
directly occupied in the cultivatiou of
plants', and with liut a limited timeafail-
able for study, to determine the nature of
diseases cau.s'ed liy parasites of vegetable
origin; to apply in the most approved
manner those curative and ijreventive
methods wldch experience has shown to
be most successful in combating the par-
ticular form of disease under considera-
tion; and, flnally, to include iu the daily
routine of work precautionary measures
which, without being costly, frequently
prevent a slight disease from assuming
the proportions of an epidemic.
While it is generally admitted that care
iu the cultivation of plants, coupled with
a correct knowledge of the individual re-
(pdremi-nts of each, will go a long way
toward preventing attacksof bothinsects
and diseases, yet these will come some-
times in spite of the greatest vigilance.
To be thoroughly prepared for such visi-
tations, to know your enemy and how
to check his ravages is more than halt the
battle. Professor Massee's book puts
one in this most enviable position. By
short, but lucid descriptions, combined
with numerous illustrations, the reader
is enalilcd to diagno.se the known diseases
injurioustoiilani life,and liytlie practical
remedies furnished iu each ease to pro-
vide a cure therefor. The various diseases
are set forth in plain every-day langiuige,
easily comprehensible by the average
plant cultivator; while technical descrip-'
tions are also furnished for more scientific
study.
It ought to be a source of much gratifi-'
cation to the American grower of plants
to see recorded in Professor Massee's
book the numerous references to the suc-
cessful work accomplished along these
lines by our vegetalile p.-ithologists in
this country — wmk which for ccuuprehen-
siveness and satisfactory- results sur-
passes that of most other countries, and
for which our Government deserves great
credit.
Some of the more general principles to
be observed iu thecombating of parasitic
diseases are:
Burn all diseased plants, fruit and.
bulbs, and do not throw them on the
manure Iicap, which nu'ans securing a
recurrence of the ilisease.
When a diseaseappejirs, remove the dis-
eased plants, and spray the I'emainder at
intervals with solution of jiotassium sul-
phide if growing indoors, or with dilute
Bordeaux mixture if outdoor shrubs or
trees.
Eresh or green manure should not be
used for land intended for cereals. Only
old and thoroughly rotten manureshould
he placed on the ground over the roots
of rose trees, young orchard or forest
trees, or over perennialsthat die down in
the Autumn.
Cuttings from <liseased plants should
not l)e used for propagation. Bulbs or
tubers ]>roduiM'cl by diseased iiljints per-
petuate the disease, and do so with cer-
tainty if sclerotia are jireseid. Seed
produced by diseased jiarents should not
be sown. Seedsnu-n should be required
tf) give a gnar.aidee that seetl offered for
sale was obl:iined friun heallh.v plants.
Ity carefid and continiu'd selection, dis-
ease-proof varieties<if plants maybe pro-
duced ;inil periii'lu.-iled.
Care should lie taken to prevent the
si)rea<l of ilisc-ise }iy human agency. This
too fl'eipieut l.v occurs, esiiecially in the
case of those fungi whose in.\'celium
spreads in tiie soil; also resting-sjjores
ami sclerotia. These are carried from
place to place by soil adhering to shf>es,
tools, cart-wheels, etc. Summer spores
are also diffused by adhering to clothing.
Rotation of crops ami the employment
of trap-crops are to be n'ccunmi'Udeil for
the purposeof checking ilisease, es]iecially
in those iiist.-inces where the inoculating
bodies are pi-esent in tlie foi-m of resting-
spores or si-leroti.n in tlii' soil.
It luis been suggested, iu the case of the
chrysantherunni eiiidemic. that in one
instance the disease was introduced ow-
ing to syringing the plants with rain
water supposed to contain the spores of
the fungus that had been carried from the
roof into the cistern. "So far as danger
from the use of water is concerned, this
can be obviated by adding a wineglassful
of paraffin to three gallons of water.
This proportion is suthcient to destroy
germinating spores, and will not injure,
but in reality benefit, the plants in other
ways."
We commend the following statement
to the consideration of jilantsmen;
'■ Finally, success in eradicating plant
diseases deiiends almost entirely on uni-
versal coo]icralion. It is comparatively
waste time and money attempting to
hold a parlicnl,-ir disease in check, espe-
cially in tliii.se instances where spores are
carried by wind, if your neighbor, whose
jilants are suffering from the same dis-
ease, does not exercise ordiiuiry precau-
tions."
The liook is handsomely bound and
well illustrated. Copies can be procured

We beg to call attention to a very valu-
able article by I'rofessor W. C. Sturgis,
appearing iu part III. Report of the Con-
necticut .Agricultural Experiment Station,
on the subject of ■' Literature of Plant
Diseases'' — a bibliography of the more
important works published by the I'nited
States Dep.irtment of Agriculture and the
Agricultural Stations of the United
States, friun Is.sT to 1900 inclusive, on
fungous and bacterial diseases of econo-
mic plants.
The .Journal of the New York Botanical
Garden for April, I'JOl, contains an arti-
cle from Head (iardener George V. Nash,
on the valtie of the collections of narcissi
and pa'onies recently presented to the
Ciarden by I'eter Barr. In the former at-
tention is called to Narcissus poeticusand
its relatives tor purity and brightness,
in the incomparabilis type the varieties
Frank .Miles, King of the Netherlands,
and Autocrat are specially mentioned.
Among the p.touies the sorts highly
spoken of are, of the P. officinalis type:
Rubra, rosea, tenuitolia and Northern
Glory, a variety of I', arietina, one of the
earliest liloomers. Of the single-flfiwered
pa'onies, or those iu which the flowers
are but little doubled, the most striking
and effective, indeed the most beautiful
of those which flowered last year, either
single or double, was Otto Froebel, a va-
riety of P. otficinalis; Auemoniflora rubra,
taking second place. The forms attract-
ing attention by their foliage were: P.
coriacea, P. arietina .\ndersoui,aiul Peter
Barr, the latter a form of P. anomala
insignis.

Slug: Shot.
Editor Florists' Exchange:
Referring to the item in your issue of
April i:(, where it is stated that A. F.
."^chraeder, .Newtown. L. I., inhaled some
of the dust while using Slug Shot in the
greenhouse, and suffered symptoms of
poisoning from the effects, there is a
mistake here as to cause. Slug Shot as
an article to iirodnce illness by inhaling,
or poisoning, is .-m assertion iu the face of
fully ;2(i years' use and test to the con-
trary, in our f.actory where hundreds of
people have been eni]iloyeii, slug shot
dust Hies as tiiick as flour dust in an old-
time mill. We work in it without cither
nose or mouth protection and, steadily,
for days, weeks, and months. The writer
goes farther, and says that eyery known
practical test lias been quite contrary to
the stateineiitrel'errcd lo. The only way
that ini'ouyenieiiee could come from in-
haling Slug Shot would lie to put it on
live coals and breathe the ti-ee sulphnr
fumes tliat ma.v come therefrom by vo-
latilization by direct heat. If .Mr.Schraeder
was taken ill, there was souu' cause fiu'
the illness oyier than inhaling or using

(130) Slugs in Carnation Houses.
—To exterminate snails from the carna-
tion houses use air-slacked lime. Dust
the plants, the surface of the soil and
every corner about and underneath the
benches. Whenever the lime is washed
away by w.itfviiii;-. etc., apply a fresh lot.
Lime usrd iicrsislently is death to snails.
If it cannot be had, then use Slug' Shot,
which can be procured through your
seedsman, and will prove eiiually effective.
(131) Carnations. — Kindly inform us
if the carnation we send is destroyed by
an insect and remedy for killing same?
Daybreak only is affected so far, but fully
half of the buds are spoiled by something.
We have a sood clean, lifiht house: new
soil was put in benches last Fall. — \V. B.

—The, carnations seem to he suffering
from unfavorable treatment rather than
from the ravages of any insect. This
variety does well in a lower temperature
than most carnations, and it is (luite
pos.'iilili- that the trouble arises from too
nmih heat being supplied; though we
cannot tell the cause exactly without
knowing the conditions under wliicli tlie
lilants are grown.
(132) Derormed Carnation Flowers.
— We send you some deformed blooms of
a sport from Daybreak carnations, of
whicli we grow quite a number, and
would like to know the cause of the de-
fornuty. The plants are healthy, with
strong stems, and free-blooming. They
have been"grown in ordinary tempera-
ture and since Christmas have had a top-
dressing of bone, and two or three of
wood ashes. But in the present crop of
flowers, some on the same plant will
open full and clean, and others, also on
the same plant, and at tlie same time,
will come drawn in on one side, as per
.sample sent, .\bout one-half of the flowers
are spoiled. Other varieties in the same
liouse are all right. Last year tlie flowers
behaved similarly toward Spring. Is the
trouble induced liy the treatment, or is it
in the plant, and will it pmiiagate itself
in next year's stock? During Winter the
flowers open all right. — H. .1." W.
— The deformed carnation blooms are
evidently a constitutional vagary of the
variety, and the way to overcome the
difficulty would be to jjropagate only
from iilants that threw perfect flowers.
It niiglit .-liso be advisable to try grow-
ing the plants in a higher temperature
than has hitherto been maintained.
(133) Gardenia Florida. — Please
give cultural directions for Gardenia
florida to have the plants in bloom by
April l.—M. & S.
— To have gardenias iu flower by April
1, young plants, say from one to three
years old, will be found the most satisfac-
tory for forcing purposes. 11. ilf ripened
wood should be taken in .lanuaiy or Feb-
ruary and rooted in a strong' bottom
lieat. Pot as the plants are ready, using
a light rich soil, and keep them growing
in a warm house until about the 1st of
.lune; then plant them outdoors where
they will be shielded from wind, and ,vet
enjoy the full sunshine. Keep them grow-
ing as rapidly as possible through tlie
Summer, never allowing them to liecoiue
dry enough to wilt or they will lose their
foliageand be worthless, .\bout the last
week in .\ugust lift the plants and pot
them into suitable sized pots. As soon
as potted, put them into a shaded green-
house, plunging the pots up to the rim in
hot bed material, this bottom heat being-
necessary to insure their taking hold of
the new soil quickly. Syringe the plants
once or twice a day, and when the roots
have taken hold, gradually inure the
plants to the full sunshine again; then
keep them in an ordinary greenhouse
temperature until the beginning of the
new year, when they should be started
into growth, by putting them in a night
temperature of 70 degrees. Mealy bug is
the worst enemy of the gardenia, and
must be kept down by extermination
every time he puts in an appearance.
BRIEFS FOR BUSY FLORISTS.
Carnations.— If it is intended to carry
any of the benches of plants through the
Summer for flowering purposes, the
lilants should not be allowed to become
checked in any way from a lack of nour-
ishment. I'.y clearing them of all useless
growtli, providing the soil with a good
mulch of well-rotted manure and giving
the glass a very thin shading when the
sun's rays become excessive, the plants
will produce favorable crops of flowers
for a good three months yet, providing
they liave not been forced in a high tem-
perature during the Winter.
Unsold Eastkr Stopk.— .Some plants
will have been left unsold at Kaster that
can be kept over for another ,vear instead
of being thrown away. Hydrangeas,
after the flowers are gone, may be put
under the edge of a bench or in any place
Lily of the Valley
from Home-Grown Pips.
In the gardens of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture Professor Gallo-
way has been conducting experiments in
growing and forcing lily of the valley.
"The jiLints have been in the nursery of
the Departnu'iit for several years. The
clumps which are forced get no attention
in the way of dressing beyond being put
in boxes as they are lifted from the
ground and packed at the sides with
moss. The boxes are put right into a warm
liouse, and the plants come into bloom
within 20 days after being removed from
the open ground. The most remarkable
part of the exiieriinent is the size of the
racemes, many measuring 1,5 inches in
length and jiroportionately stout in
stem. The number of flowers to each
Lily of the Valley, from Pips Grown by United States Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. C.
where they will be out of the way for the
time being. Give them sufficient water
occasionally to keep them from drying-
out completely, and when the middle of
May is here plant them outdoors in a
well-enriched spot. They will need no
further cai"e throughout the Summer ex-
cept to keep the ground free from weeds.
At the approach of frost they should be
lifted and potted and brought into the
greenhouse. Genistas and acacias n\i\y
be placed in any odd corner where there
is a good light. Water will be needed
only sparingly for two or three weeks
after the plants are through flowering, in
order that they may ripen their wood
and complete their growth. Toward the
end of Miiy or the beginning of .lune
they can lie repotted and cut back into
the desired form. Cutthem well back and
the breaks will be all the stronger. If
dense and heavy heads are wanted, the
plants can be cut back several times
through the Summer, providing always
that they are never cut back further
than within two or three eyes of thScur-
reut growth.
Azaleas. — Small plants are just as well
off planted outdoors through the Sum-
mer. Pick off all the dead flowers and
keep the plants well supplied with water
until such time as it is safe to put them
out. Large plants should be repotted, if
necessary, and kept in a house where
they can be syringed <laily, also have
plenty of light to help them start grow-
ing. Plants allowed to grow into a
natural sliape are selling- about as well
as those with formal heads; and with
such plants as are carried over for next
season, it will be found just as well to let
them grow naturally without attempt-
ing to cut them bade into any particular
shape, as the imported stock can be de-
pended upon for evenly shaped plants.
raceme will average about 17; some of
the largest had no less than 23 blooms.
The accompanying- illustration goes to
show what may be expected from lily of
the valley as a home product. It has
been contended by some writers that an
article can be produced over a wide area
in this country much superior to that
obtained from abroad, and the results
secured by the Department seem to point
that way. Another point in favor of the
honie-grciwn plants is that they need no
dressing in the way of picking- out and
l)unehing the flowering pips, at lea.st for
immediate use. The bonier in which the
plants are growing has been devoted to
the purpose for several years. Many of
the clumps as they are dug give 50
strong- flowering pips to the s(iuare foot.
The stock is evidently not so easily hurt
when put in to force as the imjiorted
article: especially does thisseemto be tlie
case earl.\- in the foi-t-ing season.
Tlie method of cidtivation out of doors
as practiced at tlie Department is an im-
portant one. The pips are planted in
rows wide enough to admit of cultiva-
tion with a hand machine. The plants
naturally show a tendency to expand
and HU the space between the rows with
the youug growths, leaving- the flower-
ing pips in the central part of the row.
This provides a very convenient oppor-
tunity for propagation. By the close of
Summer, or later, the side runners have
made and thoroughly Vipened their
growths, and these are removed with the
aid of a .sharp .spade and planted in shal-
low trenches which have previously been
prepared for them. During- the following-
Spring only a few of these will flower;
however, a year later they come into full
bloom. Each Fall a covering- of well-de-
composed manure, to a depth of at least
two inches, is spread over the plants.

Evolution of Greenhouses.
[Concluded from page 450.]
The principles which govern agriculture
govern floriculture. We do not look for
mongrels and choose any old rose or
other plant because it is cheap. It is the
<dd fogy who turns up his nose at book
education and scorns the high-bred
flowers as the farmer does foreign ciittle,
and recognizes no principle lieyoud sav-
ing- an available penny even at tlie sacri-
fice of a prospective profit. He allows tlie
blood of poor, cheap stock to mingle
with his herd — some miserable, low-bi'ed,
mongrel beast, ^vliose only power is that
of impressing upon his get a iiortion of
his own ugliness. Old fogy has saved
money for the time being, it is true, liut
the increase of his stock is of but little
value. This course is pursued for years,
when the old cow dies and her virtues are
iiU lost, -while her owner attributes the
success of others to mei-e luck. Is not ■
this sort of breeding- common? .\re there
not such iiLstances of a system found in
every town? How different from the
course of the old fogy is that pursued by
the intelligent, enterprising farmer who
knows the value of blood, who has stud-
ied the great principles of stock breed-
ing. He makes himself acquainted with
the merits and histoi-y of the best blootl
within his reach. He knows their breed,
if thoroughbred, their grade it only par-
tially bred. He selects the best stock —
that most likely to mingle with his herd
and increase their good (jnaiities. While
he has ma.ile a direct step in his work of
inipi-ovement, he feels encouraged, aiid
progresses upon those lines, thus luaking
t he herd more valuable and Ills finances
improved.
In floriculture, one of the most impor-
tant steps anil upon whicli success in the
future must lai-gely depend is the euvi-
ronmentof thegi-eenhouses. Theseshould
have unobstructed liglit at all seasons of
the year, both southei-n and mn-thei-n
light. Es])ecially is this true in Winter,
wlien the siin travels much nearer the
hoi-iz<ni than in Spi-ing. Summer and Fall
months. .Neitli<-r will the be.-^t results be
obtained if one liouse shades the other,
as they <lo in the ridge-and-furrow sys-
tem. Houses spread Is to 20 feet ajiart
would give much better ri-snlts aiidlargt'r
and finer production. Di-ainage sliould
be and must be comjilete. If one neglects
to make di-ainage jn'i-fect. it impairs the
I)i-oduction ()f all i)lants and flowers;
s(ime it destroys. It should be so coni-
]»lete that tlu* soils in the lied will not be
affected by absorption of dampness be-
low.
TnE CONSTUUCTION OI' THE BORDER.
First of all you are to determine what
you will grow. Having reached this con-
clusion and decided to be a speciali.st in
roses, you will Imild your two borders
each five feet wide .-mil tu-o feet deep, and
the house 20 feet Avide.
(] ) If you grow .\nierican Beauty you
will need to space the plants one foot
apart across the bed and 15 inches apart
lengthwise of the greenhouse.
(2) For American Beauty you will
plant them on benches. To jiroiluce the
l)est results you must graft ;\'ourtea roses
upon Manetti stock. This gives greater
strength to the flowers and the plant
produces more long-stemmed roses. A
liouse ;-iO0 feet long .-mil 20 feet wide, liav-
ing i)ro])erconstruction and envii-oiiment,
ought to produce 125,000 to 135,000
Bride and Bridesmaid roses jier annum.
Place stone six or seven inihes deep in
the bottom of the border, with smaller
stone and gravel to fill iiii the interstices.
This is done to proiierl:\' dr.-iin the house
and allow the warm air to circulate un-
derneath the plants. I'he posts shoidd
be of ;t X ;i chestnut or — better still — red
cedai- and planked with two inch board
having the posts on the inside of the boi--
dei-; fill \\-itli projier soil.
Of sui>i-enie iniport.-Hiee is the selectiiui
of projier ni.-itei-ial and the class of rose
you are to grow in tlie same. This alone,
if not properly selected .-ind made, will
defeat the ablest gardener. Some roses
require more clay in soil than others.
Watering iilants witli cle.-ii- w.-iter and .a

will readily take a great deal of liiinid or
fresh water, while at others it would de-
stroy them or impair tlu'iii so as to lose
the product. To grow .\merican Beaut.v
at their best they ought to be planted on
benches in the same class of house as
heretofore described, the only difference
being, in one the roses are grown in bor- i
ders, in the other on benches. Tea. roses

Heating.
The most modern houses are now
equipped with a steam plant, with the
I boiler set low euouj;ii so that as the
' steam condenses the waterreturns to the
boiler. It is called the continnous iiroc-
I ess. Valves to every pijje and an atteinl-
iint at nij;ht whose duty it is to re;;nlate
j them by letting:: steam into one or more
. pipes as the temperature outside falls or
I shuttinj;' off the steam from one or more
pipes as the temperature outside rises,
with a record of the heat of each house
every hour, and whose business it is to
I keep the temperature of that house as
near as the indicateil temperature of that
house is to be run. To have a check upon
this attendant, thermometers which ^ive
the highest rise and lowest fall should be
placed in each house under lock and key,
or ail electric dock should tn* used to
note that he has performed liis duty at
the time. This man should also be re-
qiiired to take the record of the jiressure
\ of the boilers each hour. The Hi'eman
shoulcl also be retiuired t^^ take the pres-
sure of steam np<ui the boiler each hour,
that there mny lie no dispute or reason
jiiven I)y the one in charge of the temper-
ature in the house, to excuse himself for
iuit correcting the temperature or .illow-
ing it to fall below the indicated tempera-
ture at which the houses are t() be run.
by stating that there was not steam
pressure (tu the boiler snflicient to heat
, the house. The building at Xatiek of two
I greenhouses 7(H) feet long, each built on
n grade oiu' foot rise in 100, developed
a great deal of criticism throughout Ihe
country abitut heating snch a house and
keeping Ihe temperature regular. l-'ive,
inch mains were placed along tin- side of
the house running to the center walk-
aiid from the center walk a 4-inch main
carried the steam the balance of distance
to the end of the house to carry the live
steam. The expansion of the i)ipe for the
whole house was seven inches, to over-
come which expansion joints were used
and proved effective, so that it matters
little how long a greeidiouse is built,
whether 1.000.2,000 or more runidng
feet; tin- iiroltlein of heating has been
solved, and we find these houses areas
easily controlled in temperature, lioth
tlay and night, as houses :100 feet in
length l)uilt upon level grouml.
. Boilers in a large establislnnent ought
to be set in batteries, vso arranged that
one or more can be shut off while the
others continue to do duty, being regu-
lated by valves.

Glazing.
Some growers build not oidy rose
houses, but carnation houses, of' e(|ual
span and wider, but it will be found that
such houses will not give the best results
in Winter. Some butt the glass and use
no putty: stuue build what they call the
short span of the house to the south. A

ling a house for himself. It was a holi-
day. He had been at work nearly all day
and was about finished. I aske<l hiiii
what he wasshingiing so to catch all the
water instead of carrying off the water.
He finally saw his mistake and threw
down his liamuu'r with an oath; but
those who build with the short si)an to
the south or butt glass are not so easily
downed, and don't give up until after
they have had three or four years' expe-
rience.
To-day the advance in the production
of flowers, both in quantity and (luality,
(twes its attainment largely, if not
wholly, to the cououereial man who has
introdueed nn'thods of business as well
as iniiirovenn'uts, both in heating and
construction, and has distaneed all gar-
deners ujton private places, so fai- as
<iuantity au<l quality are concerned,
which insures a profit upon the invest-
ment.
It will i>erhaps amaze many of you la-
ilies and gentlemen when I statethat the

in this St ate, including places of sn<-li prom-

Mr. Wood then went on to tt-ll of the

are the econonues that are occurring,
and the future establishments for the
growing of fltnvers and plants will find
not only the cold-storage sy.stem attached
to it. but also the system of electricity."'
The Waban Ilose Conservatories were
the first to uselargeglass and iron brack-
ets; one of the first to use steam: the
first to use valves tn\ each end of the
heating jiipes; the first to disbud roses,
thus giving the full strength of the plant
to one fiower upon a stem, and thereby
ol)taining finer foliage and finer flowers';
the first to import soot and mix it with
lime, so as to liberate the ammonia — the
only thing Ave ever found to kill myria-
Itods, or thousand-leg worms, which were
so numerous .ms tocover the walks anct
beds. Myriajiods ha ve numy legs, under

to adopt a three-(juai-ter-si)an house,
built so that the ridge would not shade
any of the plants.
While it may be egotistical for me to
say so. nevertln-less it is true that the
Waban Kose Conservatories have done
more to develop the ro.se and modern
methods in greenhouses than any other
establishment in America.

I forward some photos of daffodils in

of some interest. The Ard Righ 1 began

The Shinne' crop was light, and
although there are numerous small
growers and the street sellers were busy
gathering in stock from private gardens,
the demand continued to an unprece-

Harold George, of Frultvale, com-
menced shipping just as Lent began, and
had the market pretty much to himself,
with the exception of the varieties Em-
press and Barri conspicuus, which with
me bloomed at that time.
I. B, Lacy and Simmons, both rose
growers of Frultvale, have had an un-
fortunate experience this eeason, ha\ing
put In new boilers, which failed to come
up to representation, and which, besides
the cost and setting up of same, have
caused the loss of some $1,500 in each
case. The loss fell heaviest on the Ameri-
can Beauty houses. I understand both
growers have placed the matter in legal
hands.

visit the exhibition grounds in Buffalo
of the Pan-American sliow, the spirit to
make comparison l)etweeu Chicago of

but the whole is entirely different. Chi-

exquisitely bleinled; its gorgeous display

Dr. John A. Myers.
Dr. .Tolin A. Myers, deleg-ate of the
■Propasanda for Nitrate of Soda, of 12
.John Street, New York City, died Mon-
da.v, April 8, at San Francisco, Cal.
"*Dr. Mvers was born on a farm near
AA'est Liberty, W.Va., May 29, 1853. He
attended the country i)ublic school and
later the State Normal School at West
Liberty, where he prepared for college,
and entered Bethany Colleye, W. Va., in
September, 1871, graduating in 1875.
In 187(') he remained in the college as a
tutor. The college vacations wei-e spent
at work on the farm. In 1876 he was
electeil professor of chemistry in Butler
I'niversit.v, Irvington, lad., where he or-
ganized and e(inipped their chemicallabo-
ratory. In 187M he went to liuroiie and
silent three anil a half years in stmlying
tlu' applications of clvemistr.v to agricul-
ture and in travel. Upon his return from
Europe, after teaching chemistry and
physics two years in Kentucky Univer-
sity, he was elected state chemist of
Missi.'isiiipi and iirufessor of eheuirstry in
their State .Vgricultnral College. Here
he cirg.niizecl the work of the .state clieni-
ist .-nid built one of the finest labor.ito-
ries ill the South. He also oi-ganized tile
Farmers' Institute work in that State.
He reni.iined there until 1888, when he
was called to West Virginia to act as di-
rector of tlie West Virginia .Agricultural
Experiment Station and state chemist.
He continued his work here for about ten
years, organizing and equipping what
\\-as iiroiiounced one of the best experi-
ment stations in the coiintr.v. He also
organized tlie AgriculturallJnllege of West
Virginia, of which he was dean, and the
Farmers' Institute work in that .state.
In March, 1898, he was .•iiipiiiiited as
manager of the I'ropaganda fur .Nitrate
of Soda in the United States, since which
time there have been added to the terri-
tory nmler his charge Culia, Porto Rico,
tlie Sandwicli Islands and the British
I'royinces of North America.
Dr. Myers' scientific work has been pub-
lished largely in the form of reports, bul-
letins, pamphlets and articles in the
agriciilfural iiress, and li.is been received
with such f.ivor tli.it ]Hiitions of it have
been translated into (Teriuan and .lapa-
nese. His work has been preeminently one
of organization, in which he was thor-
ough, energetic and effective ; so much so
that in many cases there has been no
change necessary in .the work organized
by him in the various laboratories.
He was a Fellow of the Association for
the .Advancement of Science; a member
of the .Siieiety fur tlie Prnmotiou of Agri-
cultural Science, a nieinber and ex-presi-
dent of the ( Itficial .Agricultural Chemists'
Association, and a member of the Asso-
ciation of .American Agricultural Colleges
and Experiment Stations.
A busy man, always with some impor-
tant work on hand, he was never so busy
but that hecouldhelp a friend. His greet-
ing- was cordial, his hand-shake came
from theheart. His personality attract-
ed and held as a magnet all who inti-
mately knew him. Full of life, full of
hope, full of ambition, he inspired, he
gave cheer and he spread suulight over
all he met.

The Market.
There is a decided shortening up in
the supply of flowers just now, which is
not to be wondered at, seeing that we
have had rain every day since Frida.y
last. Besides the diminution of the sup-
ply, roses are coming in of much poorer
quality, the number of special flowers of
Bride. Bridesmaid and American Beauty
being very limited, occasioning a marked
advance in prices. Liberty shows up well
thi'ough this cloudy weather; thecolor is
everything that could be desired, and
long'-stemmed blooms are bringing 12c.
each.
Carnations are moving fairly well; the
demand about cleans np the supply.
Ordinar.v sorts have advanced in price a
J.'H. Small &'Sons'have a fine display of
flowering peaches, magnolias and, plums
in their window, arranged in a mass of
spiraea, which makes a very attractive
show.
Anctlnn Sali*a.
Ficus, ferns and flowering plants
such as geraniums, pansies, heliotrope,
etc., are now being offered in the auction
rooms of Cleary & Co., and Wm. Elliott
& Sons. Business continues quite brisk.

the same figures as last quoted.
Lily of the valley is not over plentiful,
and higher values are the rule. Maiden-
hair feru and sniilax are among- the best
selling- commodities. Lilies go slow, and
low prices prevail, many going- at 2c.
The gardenia is a favorite flower at pres-
ent, and good blooms fetch $3 per dozen,
the pborer specimens bringing 15c. each.

It seems the report that A. Waren-
dorf will move his business to .1. Flcisch-
man's establishment was not authentic,
or, if it was, the deal is off. Mr. Wareu-
dorf will move to, and continue his busi-
ness at, 9 West 30th Street. We may say
that we got the information given last
week from a large poster displayed in
Warendorf's store window. .1. Carrol,

now mauager for .1. Fleischman.

C. W. Ward, of Cottage Gardens, Queens,

The report that ^^'. (ihormley, whole-
sale florist, 28th Street, was about to re-
tire from business, is unfounded.
The Ways and Means Committee of the
New York Florists' Club met Tuesday
evening- and organized. P. O'Mara was
elected eliairmau and Alexander Wallace,
secretary. Sub-committees "were appoint-
ed, and a schedule of the "n^ork toward
carrying out the desired object, (a grand
horticultural exhibition in (Ictober) was
outlined. Thecomniittee is desirous that
every member of ^tlie^Vhib^^assist 'in^tlie
undertaking when called upon, so that
the great event will result in an un-
bouude dsuccess.
Recentl.y a report has been current that
C. H. .Joosten was going out of the seed,
bulb and plant business. Mr. Joosten in-
forms us that instead of going out of
ousiness he is working in the opposite
way, and his business will be increased.
Having- made advantageous arrange-
ments with European growers he will be
enabled with added facihties to supply
the wants of his customers.
G. W. Crawbuck, wholesale florist,

the country visited by Mr. Henshaw,
both of which he studied at close range.

Tlie Market.
Although there has not been any great
rush of business the past week everything
has been moving satisfactoril.v and the
cut flower market is in much bettershape.
The glut of roses that had been apparent
the past two weeks is for the time being
removed as all flowers are selling better.
The improved conditions are no doubt due
to the numerous weddings that have
taken place; nearly every ret.ail florist
having- had some work of this kind while
many had large decorations at church
and house besides good cut flower orders.
American Beatity is now selling at from
$1 to S4 per dozen. There is a very large
percentage of the cheaper grades at pres-
ent,long-stemmed first-class flowers being
rather scarce. Liberty continues to sell
well and there are many more first-class
flowers of it coming- in. Prices range
from $6 to $20 per 100 with a few extra
choice at $25. Golden Gate has found
ready sale the past week for bouquet
work. No rose looks better in a bouquet
intermixed with some green, and flower
buyers are now appreciating- this. Prices
range from $6 to $10 per 100. Other
good tea roses are selhng at from $6 to
$10.
Sales of carnations have been fair; no
great demand has materialized; prices
range from $1 to $4 per 1 00.
Sweet peas are selling fairly well al-
though buyers are tiring- of seeing- only
the pink varieties and are asking- daily
for lavender, red, and purple sorts. A few
white have been offered, but not so many
as ill jiast seasons. Prices have been $1
anil S1.50perl00.
Lily of t'ne valley has been in good de-
mand, but the supply being large no ad-
vance in value is noted. Sales have been
effected at from $2 to $4 per 100.
.Southern daffodils areabout done. I^i-
lac is now coming in.

Carnation Cressbrook.
Our illustration reprefents a vase of C.
Warburton'8 new carnation Cressbrook.
This variety scored 94 points at the exhi-
bition of the American Carnation Society
in Baltlinore, and a likenumber of points
at the carnation show of the Boston Co-
operative Flower Growers' AssociatioD.
It will he put on the market next year.
A Sure Death.
Then we have the rose bug, which in
some sections is a destructive little ras-
cal, coming just in time to destroy the
best of the blooms. The only way to de-
stroy these is to pick or shake them off
into'a pan of kerosene and water, which
soon finishes them. — American Florist.
This is certainly great news; iiut what

Ea.<iter trailc here was very good, con"
siileriiifi the iiastmihl Winter. LiliessoUl
well, nin.st of them beins imported. Sev-
eral of our leading floiists had a great
many plants, all about ten days too late.
Our Northern florists can evidently al-
waysget theirliliesinontime; here seldom
do we have them in any quantity to offer
at Easter. U. .J. Virgin said he handled
over 15,000 flowers of L. Harrisii. M.
Cook & .Son had a nice show of azaleas
and roses. C. W. Eichling made a disjjlay
of very fine lil.v of the valley and rhodo-
dendrons. .T. 'H. Menard, C. Eble, R. E.
Simons, F. Fassell, W. Blenn, all made
tine (lisi)la.vs in their windows. Church
decorations were verj' light this year; the
Winter having been so mild, almost every
one was able to cut flowers from his
own garden.
Trade in plants has been very good this
season. A few years ago only a few florists
were seen at the old French market; now
there are many new members, and all
seem to liring much better stock there
than formerly.
.\ great deal of interest is being taken
in the coming chrysanthemum show.

Warren, O.
This region has been visited by the
most severe snowfall in my recollection,
with the greatest strain on greenhouse
structures since I have been in business,
which dates back to 18(35. One pecu-
liarity was the extreme tenacity and
heavy quality of the snow. It struck
and stayed there, hanging on to the edge
of the root and down over the plate, 18
inches to 2 feet, like a^blanket. ;
Gaskill & Adgates, florists, (if this place,
shoveled to save theiiisclvcK, as ilid busi-
nesshouses; butyourccirrespomlent Hred
heavily Saturday until 1 ;;}0 a. m. Sun-
day morning, and did no shoveling. The
heat kept the weight of snow from off
the glass in a measure, and the pressure
upon the sash rails; and as my construc-
tion is of cypress and iron, and quite
heavy — li4-inch gas pipe purlins and
posts and on solid foundations — all I had
to do was to maintain heat enough to
keep the glass, 16 x 24 double, from being
crushed — and I had a job sure. The heat
was absorbed as fast as I made it, but

Floods in Ohio Valley.
All eyes are watching the great
Ohio riverthatat this writing has passed
thedaiiger line and is fast climbing up-
ward. Tr.nins have ceased coming into
the (iraiid Central station, and a stage of
58 feet will no doubt be reached before
Thursday morning. The florists' estab-
lisliments at Cumminsville are in danger,
but we liope the river will begin to sub-
si<le before any real damage is done.
Friday night the weather turned very
cold, and by Saturday the ground in the
carnation fields was frozen. .Sunday all
dav it snowed hard, with occasional hail.
R.Witterstietter, William Murphy and C.
C. Murphy had their stocks pretty well
planted out, and just what effect, if any,
the cold spell will have on the plants will
be seen later. Monday, in company with
E. G. Hill, I visited Mr. Wittersta-tter, but
his carnations did not seem to be dam-
aged. , His plants in the houses still look
well and Emiuirer, as usual, always has
a good showing of blooms in sight, which
is one of the characteristics of this varie-
ty. .\donis! WeU, the stock plants have
undoubtedly done good service, as they
are all cut to pieces, and the propagating
house tells the rest.
Trade Items.
Business during the past week was
fair, with an abundance of stock during
the forepart of the week that had the ear
marks of a glut. By Saturday the scene
had clianjied and by night all stock was
well cleaned up, but at low prices, which
beatseonsigningthe flowersto the dump.
.\t this writing stock is coming in slowly.
The demand is good and values are ad-
vancing.

Bad Weatber Makes Bad Basin esa.
Disasreeable weather still pr&vail.s
with no sigus o( a let up. Business has
been consequently ver.y quiet. Stock,
too, is showing the effects of the bad
weather. Koses are very plentiful, some
of the colored sorts being rather off color.
The demand for all roses is light, so that
prices are uncertain. Best American
Beanty, General .Jacqueminot and T.'lrich
Brunner bring S3 per dozen, w-ith smaller
grades at from $1 upwards. Bride and
Bridesmaid are in good supply, with the
latter in poorer condition, on account of
the dull weather, than any of the other
varieties. The supply of carnations is
only about sufficient for the demand.
No. 1 stock brings $2 to $2.50, with ex-
tras at $3, fancies going at $4, while
much of the inferior stock sells at $1..'30
per 100.
The suppl.y of bulbous flowers, though
diminishing, is still quite heavy, and
values hold at about where they have
been for some time.
Violets seem to have benefited more by
the ruling weatherthan any other flower.
The,y still hold on pretty well; some
stock being of very good quality indeed,
for the season. Prices, however, remain
unchanged.
Trailing arbutus has appeared. Sweet
peas meet with a good demand at $1 per
100.
Geraniums and polyanthus in pots,
and daisies in baskets are now coming-
in, and are selling fairly weU.
Welch Bros, are handling some ver.y
fine American Beauty and Queen of Edge-
ly roses.
The News.
Last week the library of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society was re-
moved to temporary quarters at the Tre-
mont Building, until the .Society's new

progressing sattsfactorily.

ener to Mr. Jason S. Baile.v, at West

Trade Notes.
Owing to the didl,cloud,y and rainy
weather all cut flower stock is going
slowly. People are not in the spirit to
bu.y. Roses are very soft and off color.
Ca'rnationsareconiiiig in more jilentitully
and, narcissi having ceased coming from
the south, are selling much better. Lilies,
belated Easter stock, show up now and
sell well, notwithstanding that lilies have
been before the pubUc for the past weeks
in quantit,y. Violets are now done.
Plant Trade.
The trade in plants is everything
but brisk. The rain.v, disagreeable
weather is against it. There seems to be
a brisk demand for roses. Many inquiries
are made for the best 12 ever-blooming
varieties voted on at the club and pub-
lished by the daily papers.
Nursery stock has sold well, especially
is this the case with California privet.
Tlie Parks.
Much controversy is going on in the
daily press as to the taking up of a Pyrus
japonica hedge, which was 10 years old.
The public, as a rule, is criticising the
Park Board severel.v, while others are
upholding it. It is claimed the hedge was
too high, and was keeping from view
some of the more effective gardening.
The propagation houses and the new
range of greenhouses at Clifton Park are
showing tipflnel.y. Mr. Mittonhas charge
of this park.
Hyacinths and tulips make a grand dis-
play in the different squares Madame
Van der Hoop and King of the Blues are
the leading varieties. Robert Steiger is
]>lnnted for red; the spike is not large.
.Vlba Superbissima is a good white for
bedding. Keizerskroon is the most effec-
tive tulip for bedding purposes.
There is a little mixture auKuig some
of the varieties. Belle .Vllia mi' comes blind
in too large a percentage to make it a de-
.sirable tidip for bedding purposes. L'ln-
nocense is too small. Yellow Prince
slio ws up better than Chrysolora. Cottage
Maid does well outside, withamuch finer
color than when grown inside.
The rain has spoiled some of the beds,
having beaten down many of the large
tine trusses.
Auction Sale.
The Boskoop Nursery Co., through
Mr,.To(>steuof New York, had a very good
sale IiiTc of Holland grown stock. The
City of ISaltimore was a large purchaser.

Weather and Trade.
In a warm temperature continuing
all through the recent snow storm, the
after-results are closely allied to a heav,y
rain, and the moisture was needed. It
was notably unpleasant and inconvenient
though, with a six-inch covering of heavy
slushy snow prevailing everywhere. Be-
.vond the inconvenience of floods in low
places, little direct damage was done,
barring perhaps at the Pan-American Ex-
position, a snow slide from a larger roof
crushing through one of the greeidiouses,
and creating havoc with a limited lot of
stock in pots. This storm so delayed
work generallj' at the Exposition
grounds, that though the gates will be
opened to the public on May l.the formal
"opening day" is slated for May 20.
Business has been rather (juiet (luring
the past week ; the price of flowers has
tlropped materially, and stock has be-
come qiiiteplentiful. Windowsigns offer-
ing roses at ."> cents are now common.
Some of the stores are a bit free in win-
dow displays of packets of seeds.

Since tu-o weeks before Easter, wehave
hariU.v had a day's sunshine at one time,
accordinglv good stock is rather scarce.
Roses retail at from $1 to fl.,50 per
dozen; American Beanty, $2 to $-1 per
dozen: carnations 50 cents to 75 cents
per dozen. Harrisii lilies, $2 and $3 per
dozen. Bulbous stock has nearl.y disap-
peared, as haye violets. The volume of
business done, has been satisfactory, but
owing to the scarcity of flowers, profits
have not been what they should be.

state of Trade and the Season.
Another week has jroiie, the end of
April is in sight Ts-itli scarcely any ad-
vance in vegetation. The grass is green,
but that is all; buds of trees are still
closed tight: cold, rain, east winds are
the rule. The weather is good for tree
planting purposes, but bad for a general
sowing of garden seeds, and florists don't
like to risk carnation planting, although
George Keinberg made a beginning in this
line about a week ago.
As to the cut flower trade, there is still
a plethora of stock, with low prices for
all but a small portion of the ver.v select.
Eoses continue to arrive in excellent con-
dition, and are often harder to clear out
than carnations. American I'.eaiit.v seem
to have more than the usual number of
Cripples among them, hence ver.v prime,
medium to long stock fetches J11..50 to
$3, with all sorts of prices for shorts and
cripples. The large growers are beginning
to throw out their plants, which may
help the market somewhat.
The big cuts of carnations still hold off.
Standards are selling at SI. 25 to $1..50;
the next quality at S2, with a few fancies
at $3 and $4, but very few at the latter
figure. Common kindsbring $7.iiO to $10
per 1,000.
Lilies are not quite so abundant, but
ai'e in sufficient supply for all demands:
$6 to $8 is the price for good stock.
Callas are hard to clear off and are still
abundant. A break has occurred in the
supplies of bulbous stock, but there is
plenty for all calls. Garland is trying to
keep a lot in cold cellar for Decoration
Day.
War on Street Florists.
This subject will not down in Chi-
cago. It has broken out again more
lively than ever. A petition, signed largely
by retail florists, was presented to the
common council on Monday night, and
two ordinances wereintrodnicd, cmr pro-
hibiting the use of downtown streets for
flower or fruit stands: another forbid-
ding the use of any sidewalk for flower
stands. Both were referred to the judi-
ciary committee. It will not be easy to
drive peddlers from rented stands, but the
curbstone florists may be "kept moving,"
at least for a time. There is strong op-
position to the city renting stands under
the Union loop elevated stairways to
business men, other than (loiists.
Even the peddlers, mostly (ireeks, have
begun to kick, and have orgiinized a Chi-
cago Greeks Florists' societ.v, elected
ofticers, and paid into a treasurer's hands
$5 each. Their complaint is that the
wholesale houseedonottreat them right,
considering the proportion of stock the
Greeks buy. They propose to remedy the
matter b.y the boycott method, which
has already been adopted against at
least one house, which, by the way, only
laughs at it, and well the concern ma.v,
as those outside the fold have a chance
to buy, and will not miss the chance to
do so, if prices are only low enough.
Among Growers.
A trip out to Klehm's Nursery, at
Arlington Heights, 22 miles northwest
of this city, the other day, found all hands
busy shipping and handling a Hue lot of
nursery stock. This is one of the few
places around Chicago where both a nur-
sery and a regular florists' business are
successfully combined. Henry Klehm
who, by the way, has just been elected
for the fourth time as trustee of the vil-
lage, drove me around to view all the
different blocksof stock. He says the de-
mand for fine nursery grown shade trees
was never better than now. The firm is
constantl.y increasing its suppUes in this
line. The soil here is admirable, the land
being tile-drained, so that the tinest kind
of growth is obtained. The establish-
ment l8 also noted for its suppl.v of tens
of thousands of pieonies, grown for the
Chicago market, a large number of acres
being devoted to the cultivation of this
plant. For many years now the Klehms
have proved that lily of the valley pips
for forcing can be grown equal in value
to the imported stock. Thirty to forty
thousand pips are forcetl each year, all
home grown stock. It takes three years
to get perfect pips. Klehm's lily of the
valley is well known in this market, and
the prices it brings are satisfactory to the
growers. Enough flowers of outside
growth are sold around Decoration Day
to pay the expense of growing them,
which is so much to the good.
The greenhouses are largely devoted to
roses and carnations. Some of the roses
are many years old, in solid bed, being
grown specially in crops, with rests in-
tervening. Papa Goutier is still one of
the favorites. There is a desire shown to
Increase the number of American Beauty.

Bucking the Government Free Seed
Distribution.— N. .J. Burt & Co., of Bur-
Ihigton, la., decided to meet the Govern-
ment on its own grounds and recentl.y
announced that the concern would give
away, free, any kind of garden seed, to
any person who cannot afford to buy.
Theii- tasls, of course, is hopeless; but
what can be said of a paternalism that
compels the adoption of such an extreme
measure.
Onions in New York State. — The
onion indu.stryin New York is not widely
distributed, but it is exceedingly impor-
tant in the sections suited to the crop.
In such localities onions frec(uently follow
onions on the same ground, and onion
smut is liable to become increasingly
prevalent until profitable crops cannot
be grown. The State Experiment Sta-
tion (Geneva) has been studying this
question on the onion meadows of Or-
ange County and in Bulletin No. 182 ad-
vocates remedies for the disease. Most
effective of these is transplanting the
young onions, the "new onion culture."
for the plants can be grown on soil not
infested witli the di.sease and when old
enough to transplant tliey ;u"e ]jast dan-
ger of infection. Kotaticjii of crops is also
urged, as the disease gradually dies out
of the soil if it has no onion ijlants to de-
velop ill. The main jjurpose of the bulle-
tin, however, is to report success in over-
coming the disease b.v sowing sulphur
and lime in the drillswith the seed. Five
years' experiments seem to put the prac-
ticability and economy of this treatment
beyond dispute. -All who raise onions
and have trouble with smut should send
to the station for the bulletin. It will
only cost the postal card upon which
you send your address, and may save
your crop.
Bulb Growing in California. — From
an interesting illustrated article contrib-
uted by Mr. Charles Howard Shinn to
"The Land of Snnsliinc, '' April, I'JOl,
issue, on the work of Carl I'urdy among
the native bulbs of California, we make
the following extract:
" .\t the present time the Californian
buU)s known to planters consi.st of about
145 distinct varieties and species. The
brodia-as, handsome, hardy bulbs with
showy, long-keeping flowers in umbels,
chietiy white, blue, purple, yellow, lilac or
pink in color, include about 30 species,
groujjed by I'urdy in six sections. The
calochorti, which include some of the
most graceful as well as some of the most
showy flowers in the world, consist of
about 40 species and varieties, arranged
by Purdy in three sections and a number
of minor groups and strains. This famil.y
reijresents one of the most diflicult of
known assemblages of species for the
botanist to classify, on account of re-
ni.-irkable variations resulting from natu-
ral crosses and hybrids through ages
past. It is only a tireless field botanist
who is callable of writing a monograph
on the great calochortus family with its
lovel.v 'star tulips' (once called cyclo-
bothrns); its ' sego lilies' from Utah:
its <Ui7,zling scarlet species of the desert
(('. Kennedyi); its superb yellow 'clava-
tus' forms, and its hardy and vigorous
types of the true mariposas, or ' butterfly
tulips.' These and many other forms,
growing wild, closely approach each
other li.v gradations of the most interest-
ing character, which in the end bring to
grief the mere ch)set botanist who is
always in danger of clinging too closely
to histyiie specimen. Besides these fami-
lies of bulbs, there are the camassiasi

food-bulbs of bears and Indians; the ex-
([uisite erythroniums (dog-tooth violets),
the fritiUarias, bloomerias and trilli-
ums, the fine clintonias of our redwood
forests, and many other beautiful bulbs
which are becoming favorites in distant
lands.
" The wild lilies collected by Mr. Purdy
include about 15 species, arranged by
him in four groups. Some resemble the
well-known tiger lily; some are white,
yellow or pink, and, taken collectively,
they form one of the most premising- cf
beginnings for the plant breeder. It is iu
such lilies that Luther Burbank has made
an especially interesting 'new depar-
ture.' Some of the California wild hlies,
as they grow in the mountains in locali-
ties adapted to their finest development,
form wonderful masses of color and mo-
tion. I have seen L. Humboldti at its
siilendid best on a siiring-fed mountain
slope beside the American River,wherean
acre of tall plants in full carnelian-red
splendor stood with stems a hand's
breadth apart, under giant conifers, mov-
ing, flashing in the Sierra wind and sun.
But no one has yet succeeded in finding
the wholly satisfactory kind of lil.v to en-
dure drought and trying conditions of
the average garden. Therefore years ago
Mr. Purdy and Mr. Burbank began to
work upon the interesting problem — one
l).v choosing hardiest stock and native
hybrids; the other b.v crossing and rais-
ing thousands of .'^oedlings. Finally, after
much selection from these, the best were
sent to a natural lil.v g.nrdeninthc moun-
tains between Mendocino and Lake coun-
ties, where Mr. Purely "watches and works
to improve them still further. There is
no other lily garden in the world that
holds more promise of improvement and
more hardy types than this. Color, shape
and habit of growth have all developed
surprisingly, and the end is not yet.
"It is probaDle that these two men will
here in 10 years in-odnce more new and
desirable varieties of lilies than have been
produced by all the lily growers in the
W(U-ld during the last century."
Mr. Purdy believes that nearl.v all the
profitable species of bulbs grown for mar-
ket intheolder centers of horticulture can
be grown quite as well in southern Cali-
ft)rnia as in Fmnceor Holland. "In some
respects "we have advantages over the
classic bulb-growing regions, ami Mr.
I'urdy is now growing daffodils and
other bulbs, expecting to ship the future
crop to bulb merchants abroad."
One of the largest daffodil growers in
Ciilifcjrnia is Mrs. Ivy Kersey, at Ha.v-
wards. .\laineda. County. This Uidy has
long collected tlie leading species and va-
rieties of daffodils and is also doing good
work with Spanish and Knglish irises
and other species of bulbs.
European Notes.
,\ jump intotheniiildleof Summer gives
courage to us all, ;ind W4)uld help our
st niggling plants, lint for the night frosts,
\\'hicli still remain with us. Strange to
say, there has been more destruction in
the valley of the Loire than in any other
part of F.uroi)e. Ueets and carrots have
suffered severely, and no surplus of either
is possible, iilthough every care has been
exercistnl ^vith the ijhuits.
ICxceptionally good weather in the
South is hcljiiiig on the flower seed crops,
and must also be beneficial to the French
grown bulbs. Prices for the latter still
rule high and the florists of northern
I'^iroiie are leaving them severel.v alone
at present. It can har<ll.v be possible
that such a motley combination can hold
together when the pinch comes.

Transplanting Broad-Leaved Ever-
greens.— Those who have had much to
do with the planting of evergreens, know
that they need more care in the operation
than do deciduous ones. It is a question
whether this could not be largely over-
come by more attention being given to
pruning. The reason an evergreen needs
more care is because it carries its foliage
all the time. No onethinks of planting a
deciduous tree with its leaves on. Even
in late Fall, if one has to be transplanted
before the fall of the leaf, the foliage is
stripped from it.
This leads to the suggestion, that if
some defoliating were done when the sub-
ject to be transplanted is an evergreen,
there would be but the samecare required
in the operation as is given to a decidu-
ous one. This is not a new idea at all,
at least not in the South, where so many
grand broad-leayed evergreens exist. The
catalogues of Southern nurserymen, re-
ferring to the transplanting of the Mag-
nolia grandiflora, say that unless in-
structed otherwise, the leaves will be
taken off before shipment. The several
species of cerasus and laurus are treated
in a similar way. This is the very best of
advice. Indeed, without this stripping
of the leaves the plants named rarely sur-
vive a transplanting, unless when from
pots.
These facts lead to the thought whether

coniferous trees ami shrubs could not be
handled nnieh more successfully, if a ^'oofl
■ deal of the foliase were cut away. Take
a pine, for example, say the Himalayan,
I'inus excelsa. It has Ions, drooping
needles, six inches in lensth. Why woulil
not a shearing off of these to an iiu-h or
so be a Kreathelp to it, placing' it in much
the same position as a deciduous subject'.'
I have no doubt that it would be, help-
ins' in the way the general pruning does
which many careful planters now give
these.
Evergreens with a ball of earth and
fibrous r(>ot.s, such as rhododendrons,
kalmias and audromedas mostly always
possess, are, in all respects, like a pot
plant, find need no pruning away of
leaves to make them flourish. But in the
case of all those sorts that do not carry
such a ball, a cutting away of the foliage
would certainly be boneticial.
Lack of Color in PnrpIe-Leavcd
Trees, — It is not generally known that
trees and shrubs with purple colored
leaves are rarel.v of as good a color the
season succeeding a planting as the.y are
before and after it. There is something
in the transplanting which lessens the
color. This is notably the case with the
blood-leaved beech, the .Tapan blofid nia-
ple,the piiri)le lllliert and like kinds. It is
not at all ('xcf'i)tinn.-il for nurserymen to
be liei'at.ed Ii.\- customers \\-ho believe they
have been imposed cm, and have received
sometliing of an inferior color. The best
type of purple beech will be of no better
color than the copper beech, and only
when full confidence exists will custom-
ers be satisfied that they possess the real
thing. After the tree recovers from its
transplanting the usual color returns to
its foliage. There is much to be discov-
ered concerning the coloring of leaves. In
the cases mentioned, injury to them in
transplanting lessens the intensity of
color, hut what is called Fall coloring is
increased by injuring the branches. Take
a sour gum, sweet gum, red maple, scar-
let oak or anything that colors brightly
in Autumn and injure a branch, and the
foliage on that branch will be much more
brilliant than seen on any other part of
the tree.
Khododendron maximum. — The
present season has witnessed a great deal
of interest in Rhododendron maximum,
one of our native species, and (|uite ade.
mand has sprung up for the plants. So
far as known, but few nurseries have at-
tempted to keep this rhododendron, the
demand being nearly altogether for hy-
brid sorts, so as to get a variety of beau-
tiful colors. The R. maximum is the one
native to the northern states ; and in Penn-
sylvania there are large groves of the
plant, along the Delaware and the Schuyl-
kill, where they hug the water courses
and the base of mountains, usually. The
flowers of this species are dull ' white;
sometimes there is a light pink or pur-
plish shade, especially when in bud, the
lighter color coming with the opening.
Besides being a beautiful evergreen, it
Howers later than any of the hybrids,
opening after the others are past flower-
ing.
Rhododendron catawbiense, which
grows on the highest summit of the Alle-
ghenies, as wellas R.ponticura.an asiatic
sort, haye been u.serl with R. maximum
to produce the lovely hybrid sorts now
BO general in cultivation. Some of the
varieties in which the R. ponticum blood
is well represented, while being of the
loveliest cohu's, are not of the hardiest
characler: still, llio list of sorts fairly
hardy in the North is by no means small,
and it embraces quite a variety of nice
colors.
,\nother native species, but one rarely
seen in cultivation, yet most desirable,
is the R.punctatum. It is a native of the
high lands of the Carolinas, so does very
well North. Both foliAge and flower
heads, and flowers are smaller than in
any of the others; in fact, to tliose ac-
quainted with the common forms of rho-
<lodendron8 only, this would hardly be
thought to be one. The flowers arc pink
red. It is altogether a desirable species.
It is well known generally, that to
be successful with rhododendrons they
shonhl have light, open soil and partial
shade. It isclaimed for R. maximum that
it will endure shade. It will not only en-
dure it, but likes it: but no more than
any other one. All rhododendrons like
shade, but if too much be given, they do
not flower so well as when in but partial
shade. To sum up, a rhododendron
should have a light soil, ijartial shade
and abundance of moisture. On the bor-
ders of a, fresh waterstream, where water
runs freely, is an ideal place for them.

Abies Arizonica (Merr.) var. Arg:en-
tea (Silver-Leaved Cork Fir).
Abies ai'izouica is >so far the only conifer
witli a pronouncedly corlcy and wliite
barli. The only other conifer which has
the name of a white-barked pine, Piuus
leucodermis, has neither white nor corky
bark, but it is exactly like that of any
other pine of grayish color.
The cork fir somewhat resembles Abies
subalpina, Eng. ; in tact, it is being placed
as a synonym of it by Trofessor Sargent,
who thinks both identical. Mr. George
Nicholson, of the Kew Gardens, finds
Abies lasiocarpa. Hook, (not hort.),var.
arizonica. the ccirn'ct nomenclature. Mr.
Heissner,tlie well-known i iernian author-
ity on conifers, believes that from the
material of cones and branches on hand
it is a true species, and ought to be cor-
rectl.y Abies arizonica.
It was originally found in 1889 by Pro-
fessor Merriani, of the United States Geo-
logical Survey. He met with it in an
altitude of about 8,000 to 9,000 feet, but
not reaching the limit of tree vegetation.
This region approximately efpials that of
the Hudson territory of the extreme
Northwest. The tree attains .-i height of
about .50 feet, and in every i-espect is one
of the most remarkable and interesting.
Professor Merriam describes the bark as
of a very elastic and finely grained corky
substance, of cream-white color and
velvety texture, absolutely free from any
hard substance, about one-eighth of an
inch thick and very durable. Even on
decayed trees the bark will retain its
elasticity.
The collector of the Pinehurst Nurser-
ies, Mr. Purpns, who had the grejitluek
to meet with this tree, isquite enraptured
with its beauty. He wrote that it was
simply a grand sight to perceive its
trunk, branches and even small twigs
covered with the snowy to cream-white
bark; and in the variety which he found
later even the foliage was silver-white.
Mr. Purpns says furt;her that the bark
will grow whitest on trees which stan4l
free, and it will show only after trees
reach a height of at least three feet. He
found it, together with Pojinlus tremu-
loides and in higher altitudes with Picea,
iMigi'lnianni and IMnus :i i-ist.-it a, reaching
as high as lO.OOO to tl.OdO feet.
The trees shf)W to their best advantage
when about l.T to :!0 feet tall. They
grow up as straight as candles. The
branches grow quite regularl.v around
the trunk, in umbrella shape, and are
oftentimes of a drooping habit. On the
younger trees the bark resembles the
smooth snake skin in brilliancy. The
cones are of a dark bluish color, but no
seed of any value for sowing purposes
has been found as yet.
This fir surely is uinf|ue among the con-
ifers now under cultivation, and of simply
inestimable value as a landscape feature.

(1.34) A. Geraaium Sport.— I mail
you to-day some geranium blooms taken
(135) Heating. — I intend to build
two greenhouses this Summer, and I have
a quantity of 2-inch, IV2 and 1-inch pipe.
Could I use the three sizes of pipe and
get good results ? I wish to use hot
water. How should the pipes be arranged?
I would want to keep house No. 1 at 55
degrees, and No. 2 at 65 night tempera-
ture in zero weather. I would like to put
the boiler under my office. Or, if all 2-
inch pipe is preferable, how should I place
it? Only cold spring water can be gotten
until another year. Will plants do well
with it? The brook is 10 feet lower than
houses; how can I get water into green-
house? Where will be the best place to
put the expansion tank? — R. A. M.
— House No. 1, which is to be heated to
55 degrees is 50 feet long and 12 feet
wide, while house No. 2, in which 05 de-
grees is desired, is 40 by 20 feet. The
houses are located side by side with a
passage leading from one to the other,
ally most convenient to have it connected
at some jjoint near the boiler. — L. R.
Taft.
I am about to build a three-quarter
span greenhouse 60 by 20 feet, with the
ridge nine feet high. The north and south
walls will be respectively 5 and SVa feet
and will contain no glass. How many
2-inch flows and IVa-inch returns will be
required to heat it to 55 degrees in zero
weather? How large an expansion tank
will be required and where should it be
located? Can the boiler be in the shed
which is at the east end of the house ?^
SUBSCKIBER.
—There will be about 1,240 feet of
glass and nearly 600 feet of wooden wall,
and this will require not far from 400
square feet of radiation to maintain a
temperature of 55 degrees. This will be
secured if three 2-inch mains and ten 1 1/0-
inch returns are used. Four of the re-
turns can be placed under each of the side

from a plant I found in a window in our
town. One branch of the plant has the
scarlet variegated bloom, and all the bal-
ance of the plant has only the light-col-
ored flower . I have the plant, and was
told that it is 20 years old. Am propa-
gating from the branch. Have I a plant
new and unknown to the trade? — I. V.
Kinder.
— The geranium flower submitted for
examination is not new by any means,
and if the sport could be fixed (which we
do not think possible) it would not be of
much value. Some of the old pink varie-
ties have " sported" flowers similar to
the one in question, which we presume
has come from an old plant that has been
kept for several years, and which fact
would be the probable cause of the rever-
sion.
some 12 feet from the west end of house
No. 1, at which office is located. The 2-
inch and liA-inch pipe can be used with
hot water, but it will be better to reserve
the 1-inch pipe for posts and purlins.
In house No. 1, two 2-inch flows and
six 2-inch or eight li/o-inch returns will
easily maintain the desired temperature
in zero weather. To carry the water to
and from the house No. 2, a 3-ii)ch flow
and a return of the same size should be
used. In this house there should be two
2V>-inch flows and either 14 2-inch, or 18
IVo-inch returns. If a fall of three or four
feet can be secured, the water in the brook
can be raised by means of a hydraulic
ram. The water can be used for ordinary
florists' plants without danger of injury
by its temperature. The expansion tank
can be at any point desired. It is gener-
benches and two under the center bench.
The expansion tank should be of galvan-
ized iron with a capacity of 15 gallons,
and it can be connected either to a flow
or a return pipe. If the downhill system
is used it will be well to start from the
boiler with a 3-inch pipe and connect the
flow with its highest point. There will
then be no occasion for air valves. The
tank should be higher than the highest
point in the system and it will lessen the
danger of the boiling over of the water if
it is considerably elevated. So far as can
be judged from the description the shed
will be the very place for the boiler.— L.
R. Taft.
lam building a greenhouse 40 feet wide
by 125 feet long. The average height
will be, inside 8% feet. Each side of root
will be 11 feet, sash bars. The ends of
house will average about 4% feet glass
V>y the 40 feet wide. There will be four
benches, about 0 feet wide, and the two
outside benches each 3 feet wide. I want
two flows up close to roof, and the re-
turns under benches. What size flows do
I require, and what size returns under the
benches, and how many of them; and
what size shall the.v return to the boiler
from the benches and how many for a tem-
perature of 48 or 50 degrees in zero
weather? The house runs east and west.
— A SOBSCKIBER.
— There must be some mistake in the
figures given, as sash bars 11 feet long,
each side of the ridge, will not cover a
house 40 feet wide. From thenumber and
size of the benches, it is evident that the
error is in the length of the sash bars
rather than in the width of the house.
About 1,500 square feet of radiation will
be required to heat the house to 50 de-
grees in zero weather. If two overhead
flows are to be used, they should be of 3-
inch pipe, and the remainder of the radia-
tion will besupplied by 16 2-inch returns.
Two of these can be placed under each of
the middle benches and three under each
of the others. The returns to the boiler
may be two 3-inch, or one 4-inch. The
returns under each bench may be united
into a 2Vo-inch pipe and connected with
the main returns. — L. R. Taft.
Coleus Thyrsoideus.
This is a new and beautiful flowering
species of coleus that is at present at-
tracting the attention of European grow-
ers, and from what I saw of it on several
occasions recently in England, there may
be possibilities in it as a market plant
here. In its profuse and long continued
blooming it would appear to rival the
popular Begonia Gloirede Lorraine, while
the rich nemophila-blue color of its
flowers would command admiration,
being a delightful hue and something en-
tirely new in Winter flowering plants.
I first made the acquaintance of this
new plant at a meeting of the Royal Hor-
ticultural Society in London, the last
week in .lanuary, where a fine group of
it was exhibited. The plants were in 6-
inch and 8-inch pots, 2 to -3 feet in height,
well branched and freely flowered. It has
large, ovate, deeply toothed green leaves,
and the flowers are borne on a long,
tapering, branched spike, some of the
finer ones being about 18 inches in length,
having myriads of flowers and buds to
follow. Looked at critically for the first
time one would, while admiring it, be
apt to think it perhaps a little soft for
florists to handle, but I saw later evi-
dences of its lasting qualities. The fol-
lowing day I observed a batch of it in the
niirsery of F. Sander & Co. at St. Albans,
and nearly six weeks after I saw this
same batch of plants for the second time
in just about the same condition of pro-
fuse bloom as at first.
Finally, in the house "where the flower-
ing plant displays are made at Kew Gar-
dens, I saw a pretty picture that should
be suggestive to some, especially to those
who have large conservatories to keep
gay. It was a group of this coleus, large
plants three feet or more in height, inter-
spersed with small flowering bushes of
the dwarf double cherry, and the double
white Chinese plum. The effect of this
group, arranged at the end of one of the
ground beds, was perfectly exquisite.
As a novelty among flowering plants
this coleus cannot be neglected by growers
here, and it should prove a popular plant
when its beauty and merit are seen.
In anticipation of possible inquiries I
would say I do not know if it is yet in the
trade. A. Herkington.

BRIEFS FOR BUSY FLORISTS.
Dahlias ought to be planted out as
soon as danger from frost is over. Tlie
cactus varieties can l)e used for cut flow-
ers, and every florist should plant a few.
I'Ri.MULA SINENSIS. — Seeds of Primula
sinensis should b« sown this week so as
to have good strong plants in flower for
next Christmas. Primula obconica seed
should also be sown, if this has not
already been done.
('aenations should be planted in the
field as soon as the land is fit to receive
them. New varieties, unless particularly
strong and well rooted, will be better if
put in flats and grown in cold frames for
a couple of weeks before being trans-
planted in the field.
Hanoi.ng R.^skets.— Fill a few dozen
hanging linskcts nicely with various
plants, and suspend the baskets from the
rafters of a cool greenhouse. The plants
will become well establi.shed before sell-
ing time, and prove far more satisfactory
to the customer than when the baskets
are filled and sold next day. As the soil
in such baskets is limited in quantity, it
should be made rich with fertiUzing
material.
Cyclamen. — The young plantsot cycla-
men should be put into the frames now,
and they will make a sturdier and better
growth than if left in the warm green-
house where they cannot be kept close to
the glass. When potting these plants use
leaf soil if obtainable. Where this mate-
rial canuot be had other light rich soil
may be substituted; but a heavy soil
must be avoided or tlie plants will not
prove satisfactory. Water taken direct
from the hydrant should also be avoided,
as the roots are easily chilled. Keep a
l)arrel filled with water inclose proximity
to the frames, and supply the water from
this barrel, using a watering pot instead
of giving water from the hose pipe.

Government Seed Contract for 1901.
A statement is credited to the Secretary
of Agriculture relative to the carrying-
out of the 1901 contract for the free dis-
tribution of seeds by the Government, to
the following effect: "The seeds are go-
ing out in a satisfactory way and of good
quality." In connection with that asser-
tion the subjoined letter, written by a
seedsman to the Secretary of Agriculture,
will be read with interest :
Hon. James Wilson,
Secretary of Agriculture,
Washington, D. C.
Dear .Sir: This present week a
large sack of seeds from the Agricul-
tural Department came to this office
for distribution, several packages of
which were handed me. Contrary to
the specifications the wrappers do
not show contents of same, and upon
examination of packets I find, con-
trary to specifications, that none of
the packets shows the variety or name
of seeds contained therein. On each
packet is simply printed the words,
"A .Selected Variety."
Take onion, forinstance: no one can
tell whether he is planting red, yellow
or white; and radish, whether Sum-
mer or Winter sorts, round or long;
peas, whether early or late, dwarf
or tall, and so on throughout the list.
And another serious offense is that
instead of putting in each packet the
quantity called for, It is diminished
to an alarming extent. Your list for
proposals says onions must be put
up 90 papers to tlie pound. The
samples tested show 256 papers to
the pound. For cucumbers, the pro-
posal says 80 to the pound, while
120 were used; watermelon, 80 to the
pound, 128 were put up; beans, 240
to the bushel, 295 were used.
Squash and spinach were not on
the list, but packets of these are being
distributed. Probably 80 packets to
tlie pound should have been used, but
sample tested 192 for squash and 160
for spinach.
I would call your attention to the
package of beans marked " A Selected
Variety, " which I recognized as Val-
entine's, although a miserable lot. No
seedsman of any reputation would
have offered such for sale. Seed had
doubtless been milled, but never
hand-picked. By careful separation
I found one ounce out of 3% in the
packet culls or waste — fit for hogs
only. It is very doubtful if any of
the one ounce will grow; of this I
will satisfy myself later.
With the privilege of furnishing
such disreputable stock and stock
without name of variety, and increas-
ing the number of packets to the
pound or bushel, it is not to be won-
dered at that the parties who were
awarded the contract were enabled
to underbid any one else.
Where were the government in-
spectors when these seeds were being-
put up and shipped away ?
I sincerely hope that a thorough in-
vestigation will be made, and the
guilty parties be made to suffer full
penalty.
How much longer must the tax-
payers suffer such indignities?
May I hope for a reply to this
letter? Very truly yours,
[Signed] S. M. Pease.
Cape Vincent, N. Y., April 24, 1901.
The Philadelphia Ledger of May 1
says;
Evidence is accumulating that the spec-
ifications of the contract for vegetable
and flower seeds for free distribution by
the Government have not been strictly
followed. A correspondent recently re-
ceived from the Congressman of his dis-
trict several packages containing spinach,
watermelon, lettuce, peas and cucumber
seeds. These he opened and weighed, and
found that the spinach if planted would
produce enough for a fair-sized meal for
one person. With respect to the other
seeds.he discovered that the packages of
cucumber average 64 grains, and accord-
ing to the specifications should be 87^^
grains, which makes a difference in each
packet of 23V2 grains, or on the total
quantity of 2, 737,280 packetsadifference
of 9,175 pounds. Lettuce averages 49
grains, should be 54 11-16 grains, mak-
ing a difference of 5 11-16 grains, or on
the total quantity of 2,737,280 packets,
3227 pounds. Watermelon averages 52-
grains, should be 87i/o grains, making a
difference of 35% grains, or on the total
quantity of 2,737,280 packets, 13,881
pounds. Peas average 2 2-3 ounces,
should be 3 11-15 ounces, a difference of
1 1-15 ounces, or on the total quantity
of 1,184,400 packets, 1,410 bushels.
Others who have received seeds from
the (iovernment report similardiscrepan-
cies, consequently there is basis for the
belief that the specifications were not fol-
lowed as strictly as they should have
been. Evidence of this character fully
warranted the Wholesale .Seedsmen's
League in protesting- against payment on
the vouchers of the contractor until a full
investigation is made into the manner in
whicli the contract has been filled. The
charges formulated by the league are
serious, and the evidence it and others
present appears -weighty. Thematterhas
reached the proportions of a scandal,
which seems to reflect in a measure on
the Department of Agriculture. This the
Department cannot afford to tolerate,
and it should probe the matter thor-
oughly and publicly. It is public money
that is being expended for vegetable and
fiower seeds, and citizens, since Congress
ordains the distribution, have a right to
receive the amount bargained for in the
contract. If the contractor made up
packages of a less weight than the speci-
fications called for, and did so under the
authority of the Department of Agricul-
ture, the reasons forthe change should be
officially given to the public, together
with the total number of extra packages
which would thus be made up. If,on the
contrary, the contractor supplied pack-
ages of less weight than the specifications
called for, and did so without authority,
he should not be paid until he has strictly
fulfilled his contract. Again, if it should
prove that the light-weight packages
were the exception and not the rule, that
also ought to be demonstrated for the
vindication of the contractor.
Secretary Wilson Acts.
The Secretary of Agriculture has or-
dered a thorough investigation of all
matters pertaining to the distribution of
government free seeds by the contractor
during the present year, and has delegat-
ed Professor B. T. Galloway to do the
work of investigating. Professor Gal-
loway is " required to makefuU and com-
plete report, so that it may be in evidence
when final settlement is made with the
contractor."
An announcement is also made by .Sec-
retary Wilson, to the effect that after the
1st of July,1901, " all matters pertaining
to the Congressional distribution of seed
inchicling the control of the employees of,
the .Sci'd Division," shall be in charge of
Dr. (hilloway. So long as this pernicious
paternal feature of the governmental
work obtains, we believe that its faithful
carry ing out in every detail could not have
been placed in better hands than those of
the gentleman selected by the Secretary
of Agriculture. It is to be hoped, too,
that Dr. Galloway will be instrumental
in convincing .Secretary Wilson, and he in
turn the Congressmen and Senators of the
riiitcii .Slates, of the absolute nece.s.sity
of roviilutionizing the whole seed distri-
bution plan, or, better still, of the desira-
bility of its abolition.
Dr. Galloway's New Charg:e.
By two recent orders the Secretary of
Agriculture places the entire seed work
in charge of Dr. B. T. Galloway. The
orders are as follows,and, as will be seen,
are of a sweeping character:
April 24, 1901.
General Order No. 40.
During the absence of the Secretary all
correspondence relating to the Congres-
sional distribution of seed shall be re-
ferred for attention to Mr. Beverly T.
Galloway, Director of Plant Industry,
Department of Agriculture, who is here-
by given authority to attenil to all mat-
ters relating to the final settlement of the
distribution for 1900-1901. He is re-
quired to make thorough investigation
of all matters pertaining- to the distribu-
tion by the contractor during the present
year, and especially regarding his com-
pliance with every feature of the contract
entered into with the Department of
Agriculture for furnishing, packing, and
distributing seeds through Congressmen
and the Department. He will make full
and complete report, so that it may be
in evidence when final settlement is made
with the itontractor.
[Signed] James Wilson,
Secretary of Agricultui'e.
April 24, 1901.
General Order No. 41.
It is hereby ordered that until July 1,
1901, all matters pertaining to the con-
tract for seed to be entered into with the
Phillips Seed and Implement Company,
for the Congressional distribution of
1901-1902, shall be in charge of Mr.
Beverly T. Galloway, Director of Plant
Industry, Department of Agriculture.
After the 1st of July, 1901, when the
law creating the Bureau of Plant Indus-
try goes into effect, all matters pertaining
to the Congressional distribution of seed,
including the control of the employees of
the Seed Division, shall l5e in charge of
Mr. Beverly T. Galloway, Chief of the
Bureau of Plant Industry.
[Signed] James Wilson,
Secretary of Agriculture.
By these orders practically all of the
plant work of the Department must be
brought together, with Dr. Galloway as
chief of the organization. The branches
are as follows:
Plant Physiology and Pathology:
Botany; Grass and Forage Plant Inves-
tigations; Pomology; Experimental
Gardens and Grounds; Arlington Tree
Experimental Farm; Foreign ,Seed and
Plant Introduction; Domestic Tea Pro-
duction, and Congressional Seed Distri-
bution.
The appropriations for this work ag-
gregate something over $500,000,
and the corps of investigators and other
-ivorkers will exceed 200.
OBITUARY.
James Barrows.
James Barrows, one of the oldest flo-
rists and landscape gardeners of German-
town, Pa., died on the 1st inst., at an
advanced age. He had carried on a flo-
rist's business in a moderate way for
years, combining with it the care of gar-
dens; and as his sons grew up they took
part in the business with their father.
James Barrows was known to almost
every gardener and florist in Philadel-
phia, especiall}' to the older ones. Of a
kindly, genial nature, he was the soul of
honor, and his yes or no was better than
any bond that could be given. His influ-
ence for good in this community was
very great. J. M.
N. H. Gushing.
* Nathaniel H. Cushing, of Woburn,
Mass., died at his home, April 28, of
pneumonia, aged 40 years. Mr. Cushing
was a market gardener, and for several
years a large grower of pansies. He at-
tended the funeral of his brother a few
days ago, and contracted a cold which
resulted in the sickness causing his death.
Mrs. James Frost.
Mrs. James Frost, wife of the florist at
Greenville, O., who had been an invaUd
from paralysis for about two years, died
Wednesday evening, April 17, aged 52.
The deceased lady was born in New Y'ork,
and married Mr. Frost in 1874. She
was highly esteemed by all who knew
her. The funeral, which took place Sun-
day, April 21, was largely attended, sev-
eral out-of-town florists being present.
Peter Kane.
Peter Kane died at his home in Roches-
ter, N. Y., April 25. He was born in Kil-
kenny, Ireland, and went to Rochester in
1853, where he had been employed in the
nurseries of Ellwanger & Barry for the
past 40 years. A son and three daugh-
ters survive him.
Green Arsenoid.
The manufacturers, Adier Color and
Chemical Works, 100 William Street, New
Y'ork, send us a circular regarding this
insecticide. The substance is a finely di-
vided powder (not crystalline) having all
the poisonous elements of Paris Green,
but it does not speedily settle in water,
like the latter, remaining in suspension a
long time, thereby giving a mixture of
uniform strength for spraying. Owing
to its physical properties Green Arsenoid
adheres better to the foliage than does
Paris Green, and therefore is not so
readily removed by wind and weather.
Its efficacy as an insecticide has been in-
dorsed by the horticulturists of many of
the agricultural experiment stations,
besides well-known nurserymen and fruit
growers.
The circular contains directions for
using the Green Arsenoid, as well as for-
mulie for other insecticides.

The Market.
At the beginning of this weeli we
hail balmy Spring weather and business
for a few days was quite good. By
Wednesday, however, flowers began to
increase greatly in quantity and the
weather turned cold and wet, causing
prices to go down and bringing about a
general accumulation of stock all round.
Carnations had been selling at quite
good figures, ordinary sorts bringing f 2
and $3 per;i(lO: now they are only fetch
ing $1 and $2. In the fancy grades pink-
colored sorts are moving best. The .Mar-
quis brought $."> and Mrs. Thomas W.
Lawson from Sij to $8 during the lore
part of tlie week, but each dropped a few
points Thursday.
American Beauty roses are again quite
plentiful, and although the asking prices
for fresh flowers remain about the same
as last reported, blooms held over one day
are disposed of at almost any figure
offered.
Bride and Bridesmaid are showing the
effects of the weather to a great extent,
soft flowers and mildewed foliage being
in evidence in a greater part of the ship-
ments. No. 2 grade seems to sell
readiest; these are going at from $1.50
to $2 per 100. For the special grade Sc.
is about the top figure, a few possibly
reaching 10c. when of extra length of
stem.
- Cattleya Mossise is more plentiful and
is to be had at from 35c. to 40c. each.
Lily of the valley is moving well and
brings from 3c. upward. Lilies are yet
in full supply, from 2c. to 4c. being the
ruling figures. C'allas do better and bring
4c. and 5c.
DaXodils are a drug, and extreme low
prices prevail. The same remarks are
also applicable to marguerites and Ro-
man hyacinths. Single narcissus do a lit-
tle better, though these can be had at $2
per 100.
Smilax has become more plentiful, and
the price has fallen to about half what it
was one , week ago. Outdoor lilac is in
the market; this stock comes from ^'ir-
ginia and there is a good demand for it,
the bunches selling at $i per dozen.
Auction Sales.
Flowering plants are now the main
features at the auction sales. The attend-
ance of buyers is very large.and for most
of the stock good prices are realized. At
Wm. ICIIiott & Sons' sale, standard roses
from the late Millionaire Gillman's estate
and rhododendrons in named varieties
from Bagshot, England, have been sold
this week.
•Jleary & Co. have been selling nice con-
signments of geraniums, some plants In
which brought 13c. each.

street Men to Combine.
The chief topic discussed around
the wholesale commission florists' stores
the past week was the movement of the
street flower sellers to form an associa-
tion for mutual protection. .\t present
it appears that their object isto fix prices
for flowers. Any one selling liclow the
figures decided on will be blaeklistt'cl and
the commission meu will be asked to re-
fuse to sell to such. The street meu will
also furnish each commission house with
a list of members of the association, and
ask that flowers be sold to none but
memljcr^, otherwise the commission man
will be boycotted, the aim being to keep
all out of the association who refuse to
ask a. fair profit price. The street men
say that at present there are some flower
peddlers who sell at a fair price until the
fii'st cost of the stock is obtained, when
they take an.v figure offered.
The street flower seller has been a bone of
contention for some time between the re-
tailer and the commission man, the former
claim ing the peddler hurts his business and
cheapens the prices of flowers, while the
the latter says he could not get along
without the peddler.
Most of the stock bought by the
street men is three or four days old;
when a glut exists of any certain flower
they get fresher stock. They certainly
move a large iiuantity of flowers. One
man, not long ago, bought 42,000 car-
nations at one sale, and employed three
other meu to dispose of them for him.
Their busy days are Thursday, Friday
and Saturday; and on a good Saturday
one man has been known to clear $5 to
$G for his day's work.
Bulb Display.
The hyacinths, narcissus, etc., in
Independence Square are now in full
bloom and are greatly admired. .lohn
C. Lewis, city forester, who has charge
of all the city parks or squares, has been
doing a good work by advocating the
planting of bulbs, and each year in-
creases the order. The bulbs fuitlie past
five years have been supplied by Heuiy
F. Michell.
Jottings.
Robert Kift has gone to the Pan-
American Exposition to arrange for the
installation of his exhibit of Fairy vases
and stands.
A " ladies' night " will be held at the
Florists' Club room May 15, and in order
to facilitate matters the affair will com-
mence at 4 p. m., to give the ladies an
opportunity to play their games in the
afternoon, shouhl it be more convenient
to them, thus relieving the crowded con-
dition of the alleys and shuffleboards in
the evening. David Rust.

Good Weather Helpd Business.
The fine seasonable weather pre-
vailing has a good effect on trade, which
was quite active the past week and con-
tinues so. The grand opera, several
notable weddings, and the Grant ban-
quet created a good demand; besides
there has been an unusual amount of
funeral work. The supply of good stock
is fully equal to the call. Roses shortened
up a little, and carnations are not plenti-
ful by any means; but no doubt the
warm, sunshiuy weather will bring them
on fast enough. Sweet peas are in good
demand. Violets are about over, double
ones being very scarce. Lilies are abun-
dant and price has fallen considerably.
A little outdoor stock is arriving.
Plants are plentiful in the market, Init
are selling slow. The seed trade is re-
markably active at W. C. Beckert's; the
increased force of employees have all they
can (If) to keep up with orders.
The News,
The growers are all busy planting
out stock, weather and the condition of
the ground being most favorable.
The regnl.'ir monthly meeting of the
Florists"! 'Inb takes place Thurs<lay, May
'.I, at the rittsliurg i 'utflowcr Co.'s store-
room. " liechling Plants" is the timely
topic for discussion.

The Question of Color Relative to Flowers.
BY F. SCHUYLER MATHEWS.
If there were such a tiling as a simple
standard of color acceptable to the Eng-
lish, French and German speaking na-
tions, we would experience little difficulty
in the identification of a color or the
finding of a proper name for it after it is
identified. But we liave neither a na-
tional nor an interu;ition;il slnndnrd,
and, as I have already explnineil, without
a unanimity of opinion about the dozen
or so of fundamental hues, there is no
possibility of accurately determining the
thousand-and-one colors derived from
them. The best thing, therefore, for the
florist to do is to submit the matter to a
convention of Americanflorists, who shall
determine and adopt a permanent stand-
ard and nomenclature, which shall stand
for all time as the proper American meas-
urement of color. I do not think there is
any cl.-iss of men better quaiilicd to nuvke
sucli a move than that one whose chosen
vocation is the propagation of (lowering-
plants. The flower is the purest and best
demonstration of color in the world;
pigment color is second best. A commit-
tee of experts which would respect public
opinion and adopt sound, sensible, popu-
lar names, as far as they coincide with
scientific conclusions, is what we need to
settle the question finally and for all
time.
Z My suggestion of a dozen, more or less,
simple names for simple colors is all very
well, perhaps, but it can never be authori-
tative without the acceptance or modifi-
cation of experts who are capacitated to
judge of the necessities of the case. I am
constrained, therefore, to plainl.v state
the fact and leave it for future considera-
tion with tlie florists of America.
At present it will be wise for us to ex-
amine a few .seedsuieii's catalogues, feel
our way tlirmigli tlie pu/zting maze of
color names, and find cjut wliat isu.s efid
and what is useless. It is all a matter of
opinion so long as no standard is in exist-
ence, but possibly I may convince tlie
reader that the present state of affairs is
capable of considerable improvement.
Many popular adjectives are thorough-
ly good. For instance: Velvety, satiny,
pearly, silvery, coppei'y and bronzy are
all right because they express the slieen
or the metallic tiuality of a color. Silvery
white is a g'ood name; it suggests a lus-
trous white different from simple pure
white. China and porcelain are good ad-
jectives. I understand what a man means
whenhesays"a china blue" or "a porce-
lain white." The beautiful little berry of
Chiogenes serpyllifolia (creeping snow-
bei'ry) is exactly china white; the white
of it shines like china or porcelain. The
bronze nasturtium possesses a dull, me-
tallic- (-olorlikr bniuze. .Many deep violet
pansies ai-e velvety; some bidsams are
truly silvery pink. AVe cannot take ex-
ception to these terms, as they appear
(aptly applied) in the seedsmen's cata-
logues.
But we strike snags galore among the
plnks.'aud allied tints. The term " rose"
is absolutely indefinite. I take it to mean
criiuson-piuk, but the question is whether
ever.ybody else does too. I think not. Its
application is entirely too general. Here
is a proof of the fact: in the catalogue
before me I read rosy claret, rosy car-
mine, rosy salmon, rosy blush, rosy red,
rosy crimson, dark rose, bright rose, etc.,
etc. Well, -what is rose, anyway ? How
does it differ from pink ? I challenge any-
body to answerthat question. If it truly
is what I take it to be crimson-pink,
why not use that term ? It is absolutely
accurate and it is the commonest pink
in the rose family. But when any one
tallcs about rosy salmon he talks non-
sense, for a crim.son-pink salmon is a dull
Itiiik salmon, ami I am positive that is
not what till" person means by rosy sal-
mon. He should have said pinkish
salmon.
I do not know whatrosy claret means.
If I mix a deep red-magenta (approxi-
mately claret color) with crimson-pinli, I
get a color like some of tlie cyclamens I
have seen — magenta-pink. I do not be-
lieve the catalogue compiler meant that
cyclamen color. If the nmcli-needed color
chart will identify "rose color" with
crimson-pink or di-tinitely any otherpink,
we will .-H-ccjit the term --rose;" butuntil
tills liappciis I still insist that tlie word
has no iletinite meaning, and it ought to
be replaced by pink. We can then be spe-
cific and say crimson-iiink, cherry-pink,
pure pink, scarlet-pink, salmon-piuk, ma-
genta-pink, etc.
The ditfei-ence between cherry -pink and
pure pink ought to be nominal. I should
say the former had quite a bit of orange
in its composition. Pure red is pretty
nearly intense cherry-red, or, to be more
accurate, carmine color; carmine reduced
with white must therefore be pure pink —
that is pink, without an atom of orange
in it on the one hand or purple on the
other. A girl when she blushes turns
pinkish; it is therefore senseless to use
the term blush pink. But if a white rose
was tinged at the heart or on the petals
with pink or suffused generally with a
pale, delicate pink, I see no reason why
one should not employ the popular term
blush; but where is the sense in the addi-
tion of the word pink? It goes without
saying.
The names of various reds are equally
puzzling — claret, carmine-scarlet, crim-
son-scarlet, orange-crimson, blood-red,
purplish wine, dark cherry-crimson,
orang-e-red, cardinal-maroon, etc., etc.
I am at a loss to know exactly what
blue-red; mix them and the result Is a
very dull, impure true red — i. e., true red
dulled by an admixture of orange and
blue. Cardinal-maroon -would more proji-
erly be expressed by intense cardinal.
Dark cherry-crimson is a term which
floors niecomjiletely. I will not undertake
to solve its jn-ol)lrniatic nature; it is a
combination of conti-adictions. Pui'plish
wine evidently corresponds with intense
magenta. Purplish scarlet is another
term I find in one of the catalogues before
me, and it is unnecessai-y to say it is an
anomaly. If I mix a little purple -with m.y
scarlet-vermilion the latter is effectually
dulled, that is all; there is no trace left
of purple; black would have accomplished
the dulling process quite as well.
Brownish lilac, ho-wever, is quite a
legitimate term; the Edward Otto nas-
turtiums color is exactly reproduced by
mixing a little brown with lilac. Bluish
mauve is again beyond me. I presume
its synonym should be light blue-violet,
but I am not sure. Mauve is a term
which should be banished from the color
chart; if it is, as I suppose, a light pur-
ple, we might as well say light purple.
Chrome yellow is rather an uncertain
name also; there is no peculiarity about
chrome, and the pigment is manufactured
1 ^>f>if^f/'.-

each one of these terms means. Blood-
red is an indefinite deep red at the best;
properly speaking, arterial blood ap-
proaches a scarlet-red, but in a general
way blood in quantity is that cardinal-
red commonly seen in ribbons, and if so,
the popular term cardinal is Infinitely
preferable because it is widely employed,
and its yellowish intense red quality is
c(*mparatively unvarying. Claret is a
word which should be replaced by intense
crimson-magenta, or if the latter word
is objectionable, then intense purplish
crimson. Orange-red should properly be
the color that lies between orange and
red, and that is — scarlet. Vermilion is
always scarlet, but its quality is opaque;
it is never lively; it possesses no true
depth, and it is jirelty fairl.v deinonstrat-
ed by the Madame Ci-oz.v caima. When
one says "orange-red " I have reason to
suppose the color meant is either scarlet
or vermilion; but if the quality of the
color in question is opaque, lio-w am, I to
know that and choose the specific ver-
milion instead of scarlet?
Carmine-scarlet and crimson-scarlet are
both "bad terms; the true meaning of
either ought to be carmine or pure red.
Scarlet is an orange-red and crimson is a
in all grades of intensity from lemon
chrome to orange chrome. The better
name would be deep yellow.
We may use the adjectives deep, pale,
dark, light, brilliant, bright, dull, vivid
or lustrous as we think advisable. But
we must remember that a dark color is a
blackish color and not an Intense one.
A confusion between intensity and dark-
ness is common and natural; the two
terms, however, are altogether different.
Color is reenforced by itself when it is in-
tense, but it is deadened and weakened
with black when it is dark. Maroon is a
dark red; I produce it by mixing- black
with crimson. Cardinal-red is an intense
color; I produce it by mixing an intense
scarlet with an intense pure red. A color
is shaded by .-i dark color, and some per-
centage of black is necessary. A tint is
a color greatly diluted with white; pink
is therefore a tint of red.
The confusion of adjectives modifying
color names in the catalogues before me
is certainly very great. A " light shade "
is a frequent occurrence; "dark scarlet"
is common, and I am sure what is meant
is deep scarlet. Dark scarlet would actu-
ally be deep chestnut-brown, or very
nearly that. " Blackish crimson" should
be either dark crimson or, if it is very!
blackish, maroon. "Shaded lilac "occurs!
several times; the term should be tinted!
lilac. Brownish orange maybe all right,
hut I should be inclined to substitute for
it the popular term burnt orange.
Among many good names I find laven-
der, heliotrope, currant-red, canary-yel-
low, orange-salmon, shell pink (which is
really scarlet-pink), chocolate, golden
yellow, citron, mahogany red, silver.v
gray, orange-scarlet, violet-blue, silvery
lilac, chestnut, flame color, jjinkish sal-
mon, flesh pink, bronzy maroon, primrose
yellow, sulphur yellow and indigo blue.
One may take few exceptions to such
names as these, and if the catalogue com-
jjiler keeps fully in mind the 12 tuudanien-
tal hues common among flowers — lemon-
yellow, golden-yellow, golden-orange,
orange, scarlet, carmine or cherry-red,
crimson, magenta, purple, violet, ultra-
marine blue and pure blue — I am sure the
catalogues will show some considerable
improvement before many more seasons
pass.
Meantime we will wait and see what
the .-Vmerican florists are going to do
with this question of accuracy iu color

A Well-Branched Rubber.
Our illustration shows a fine specimen
of a self-branching Ficus elastlca, grown
by Fritz Dressel, of Weehawken, N. J.
The plant is nine months old. Mr. Dres-
sel has had wonderful success in growing
this class of stock. The following infor-
mation regarding Mr. Dressei's method
of culture is taken from a recent Issue
of Moller's Deutsche Gartner-Zeltung:
"The culture of Flcus elastlca is gener-
ally carried on as a specialty, and in the
year just passed not less than 10,000 of
these popular house plants were culti-
vated. These were propagated for the
most part from top cuttings, and the rest
were Imported from Belgium as rooted
cuttings.
" These self-branched rubber trees are
propagated late in November or the be-
ginning of December, and top cuttings
with five to seven leaves are only used.
For rooting, as in the case of all flcus cut-
tings, they were placed in a growing
chamber in sand, and at a temperature
of from 75 to 80 degiees Fahrenheit.
The leaves of these cuttings are not
bound together, by which proceeding
more room or space Is needed, but the
loss by the rotting of leaves is avoided.
"After the cuttings have roofed suffi-
ciently, which generally takes place in
from three to four weeks, they are pluuted
iu not too light, but sandy soil, in pots
of a suitable size. It is very Imjiortant
that one should plant the rooted cuttings
quite solidly, and be very careful with the
watering. The plants are kept close the
first eight or ten days, then placed In a
house at a temperature of about 60 de-
grees Fahrenheit, and repotted from two
to three times during the course of the
Winter, so that by Spring they are in
pots of a diameter of 12 to 15 centime-
ters. When they are so cultivated, the
eyes of the now partially grown plants
are well developed, so that later, when
the 'rubbers' are planted out, growth
proceeds without further treatment.
"Before planting out, which takes place
the end of May, the plants are brought
into a cold house under glass and kept
there about three weeks, being slowly
accustomed to the air and sun, so that
by the time they are planted out they
are hardened oft sufliclently so as not to
require any more shade. These plants
are set out at considerable distances In
open frames, fllled with strong, heavy
earth, for which a quite sunny position
Is the best. When the plants have com-
menced to grow and the first weeds have
been removed, the earth is covered with
a layer of manure about two inches in
depth, so as to better hold the moisture.
Water is the chief requirement, and for
the further success of the plants is neces-
sary.
"The best time to pot them is the mid-
dle of August. The plants are carefully
taken out and placed in suitable sized
pots and plunged in a hot bed in the
open. During the first l-t days, until the
plants have sufficiently taken root, a
shade is necessary. Here they remain
until the weather necessitates removal,
when they may find a place in a light
and airy house. During thj Fall and
Winter the plants are kept very dry,
never sprinkled and only watered on
light and sunny days.
"In, the establishment of Mr. Dressel
no old stock plants are found. For prop-
agating purposes, young, one-year-old
plants with four to five eyesarecut back
which are sold the second year as bush
plants,"

Carnation Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson.
The illustration herewith presented
shows part of a house devoted to carna-
tion Mrs. Thomas AV. Lawson as it ap-
peared on March 14, the day of the visit
of inspection to Peter Fisher's establish-
ment at Ellis, Mass., liy the Oanlen Coni-
mittee of the Massaolinsctt.'i Horticultu-
ral Societ.v. The portion of the house
shown measures 151 x 24 feet, and forms
part of a 302-foot greenhouse, the re-
mainder of which is planted to other
varieties
Mr. Fisher kindly supplies the follow-
ing cultural information regarding' the
Mrs. Lawson variety:
Cuttings propagated any time during
February or March will make best stock
tor early planting and blooming. I!y
" early " I mean plants to be housed the
latter part of July or first week in Au-
gust. If wanted for later planting, cut-
tings taken in ."^pril, owing to the varie-
ty's rapid growth and great vitality,
make grand stock for taking indoors in
August and .September. Early stock
should be put in 2-iuch pots and repotted
along as requu'ed until in SVl; or 4 inch
pots, but it is not advisable to have the
size of the pots larger than 4-inch, as the
ball will be too large to transplant in tlie
benches where 4 inches in depth is the
limit.
As soon as danger of frost is over the
stock maybe planted out in the field, and
as the plants are to be lifted early, they
need not be planted wide apart. Usually
the distance will be governed by the
width of the Planet .Junior, or other wheel
hoe to be used in cultivation; and 6 to 8
inches apart in many cases will be suffi-
cient between the plants in the row.
The worst defect in the Mrs. Lawson
carnation is a tendency to throw short
stems on first blooms early in the season,
if the plants are allowed to make their
flowering growth in the field. To remedy
this, go over the plants, sa.v.lO days be-
fore housiug and carefully pinch back all
flowering growths, so that the flowering
shoots be made under glass. This will
insure amuch longer stem onflrst blooms,
that will keep increasing as the season
advances.
Mrs. Lawson is an early and, by reason
of its exceptional vitality, continuous
bloomer, throwing up its growths in
rapid succession, so that it comes as near
being continuous as any variety yet pro-
duced. Its productiveness is wonderful,
considering the quality of the flower:
and to stimulate this a liberal supply of
nourishment is necessary. I find an oc-
casional top-dressing of pulverized sheep
maiuire every two weeks suits the plants
admirably, commencing to give the ap-
plicationii early in November and con-
tinuing them all through the Winter and
Spring season. Should the soil appear to
be overfed, or sour, withhold the sheej)
manure and substitute a good dusting of
air-slacked lime.
Another point in the variety is a ten-
<leucy of the blooms to fade or " bleach "
around tlie edges on the sudden appear-
ance of sunshine after dull, cloudy
weather. We have little trouble in this
respect, as our houses run north and
smith, and so do not get the direct light
in Winter, which has been in our favor
with the cultivation of this variety, and
the reason why 1 have failed to wn.rn
otliers whose aspect is the reverse. We
have had no shading on our houses until
three weeks ago, when the east side was
shaded, and now we are lightly shading
the west. I would advise those grow-
ing Mrs. Lawson in houses with a south-
ern aspect to shade, say, 4 to 6 inches
down the center of each square or row of
glass as early iu the season as this trou-
ble appears, increasing the shade with
the season.
If you have any of your houses running
east and west, plant Mrs. Lawson in
them, or any house that gets partial
shade from other structures. The vari-
ety will well repay any extra care be-
stowed.
In other respects the culture of this car-
nation does not differ from that of the
average variety, only during the dull
mouths of Winter I find it beneflcial to
run the night temperature at from 52 to
'i~> ilefArees, keeping it as near the latter
:iK |](issible. This promotes a steady
growtli and prevents splitting and other
evils, caused, in my opinion, by slow or
arrested development. There is little or
no splitting in the Fall or Spring. Why
is not raising the t en jperatu re essential
to offset this trouble iti Winter'?
Carnations Around Kalamazoo.Mich.
Of the ne^ver kinds of carnations grown
around here this season, there are about
as man.v opinions as there are varieties.
Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson gives, so tar,
good satisfaction wherever cultivated,
and more will be grown next year. The
Marquis is yet a debatable kind; doubt is
expressed as to the variety being suffi-
ciently early as to be a money maker.
Ethel f'roeker with the writer has shown
more prolific than G. H. Crane, and a
pink of better grade than William .Scott,
and as good a producer. Armazindy, as
a variegated sort, is considered all right.
S. B.
Acacias.
The Australian species of acacia num-
ber several hundreds, although but few
of them are in general cultivation, but
latterly several have been growing in
favor with florists here and may occa-
sionally be seen in the market about
Easter. They are certainly satisfactory
plants to grow, and are deserving of
greater popularity. Some of the larger
growing species, like the silver wattle.
Acacia dealbata, A. melanoxylon, A. lon-
gifolia, etc., have been so freely planted
along the Riviera that a casual observer
might think them indigenous, and I be-
lieve in California and elsewhere in the
South, they have been planted as street
trees, and certainly nothingcould bemore
beautiful, combining, as they do, graceful
growth with showy, abundant bloom.
Recently when at Kew I took note of
some species flowering there that are
worthy of more attention to grow in
pots or tubs. A. armata, often called
paradoxa, is|one of the best and is known
saw along the Riviera as A. cultritormis.
Being of a rather straggling growth, it
does not make as attractive a plant as
the preceding kinds, but it is markedly
distinct, having deep glaucous foliage,
and bears its flowers in branched, spread-
ing racemes at the end of the shoots.
A. latifolia, as its name would suggest,
has broad leaves and in the axil of each
leaf is a drooping, elongated raceme,
rich, yellow, and very showy. I took
notes of a number more in flower at the
time, but those enumerated are the best
for general purposes. Two species worthy
of mention, and of great botanical inter-
est, are A. hastulata, having narrow,
prickly leaves; in fact, it looked like a
yellow epacris, with its erect shoots
thickly set with pale yellow axillary
heads of flowers. Theotherwas A.ovida,
having prickly leaves, slender shoots and
ovid heads of bright yellow flowers.

up well, and proved to be all the intro-
ducer claims for it, while with others the
reverse is the case. Leslie Paul, while not
new, is sutficiently rare to be so, has a
fine flower and habit, and a popular
color, and ought to be more largely
grf)wn, its onl.v fault being that it is
rather late. There t)ught to be a place
for Elsie Ferguson with every retail
grower, as it has a fine flower of a novel
color, is early and most productive, an
excellent keeper, and is different from any
other carnatifui I know. Iris Miller gives
a fine large flower, also of a novel color;
but th(^ v.'iricty is tof) late for profit.
Mailaine Chapnian, as grown b.v the
Kalamazoo .Nursery and Floral Co., is
worthy of special mention and ought
to become a standard.
But a good white we are still look-
ing for. Nivea has proved the best and
most profitable of all to the writer,
but with others, close by, it don't do well
at .all. By the way the Armazindy has
sported it seems as if there will soou be
one variety with a dozen different
names. .Something should be done at
(nice to correct the entanglement that
must ensue if these sports continue to
be sent out under different names.
Tlie writer has a sport from it identical
with (luardian Angel, and in tAvo other
places in town there are other sports,
and doubtless elsewhere the same thing
has occurred. Next season a single name
should be agreed upon to avoid compli-
cations.'
To sum up thecarnatlon situation here
it seems we are still looking for a good
white to beat Flora Hill, a good red
to most growers here. It is of a neat,
compact growth, has small, dark green
leaves, and round flower heads of a rich
yellow color. A. Drummondi is about
equally popular, and a lovel.v kind, Iiav-
ing tiny pinnate leaves and denscdrooj)-
ing flower spikes, about one inch in
length, and of a lemon yellow color. A.
pulchella was one specially noted at
Kew, that I do not remember to have
seen offere<l here. It makes a large speci-
men with age, but is of a neat habit of
growth, has pinnate leaves abr>ut one
inch in lengtli, and solitary heads of
flowers as in A. armata, but they are of
much larger size, and altogether brighter
in color than those of this last named
species. In fiict.it impressed uie as being
one of the most beautiful specii'S I had
seen for culture as we grow them.
A. longifolin, although a large tree
naturally, is amenable to culture under
restriction and represents a <listinct t.vpe.
having grass-like leaves 4 inches or more
in length, and drooping c.vlindrical spikes
of flowers, produced generally in p.'iirs
from the axil of each leaf. 'I'lie plants
canbegrfiwn into handsome specimens
in tubs and make magnitieent flowering
l>lants 10 feet or iiKU'e in height. ,\ va-
riet.v fit this species at Kew and named
micronata had branched I'acemes of
creamy yellow flowers.
A. obliiiua, at Kew, was a graceful
bush, thickly clothed with obovate leaves
and having round flower heads of a
rich yellow color. .\. ncinacea w;is a
charming compani<ui, somewhat similar
in growth; tlu? flowers ptaleleunm yellow.

Giiowing Lettuce with Chemical
Fertilizers, Bulletin S4, Purdue Univer-
sity Agricultural Experiment Station,
Lafayette, Ind. The results obtained
from the several experiments enumerated
seem to invite the following conclusions:
(1) That in order to stud.v the action
of the three essential elements of iilaiit
food, nitrogen, phosphorus and potas-
sium, a soil must be used that is fairl.v
delicii'iit in plant food. (2) That potash
when used in an.v considerable amount,
either alone orin connection with nitrate
of soda, produced conditions unsuitablo
to ])lantgrowtli. (:i) When phosphoric
acid was used alone orincoiinwtion with
nitrate of soda or muriate of pot;ish,
evi'ii in large amounts, a marked increase
in thi'growth of tlieiilants was obtained.
(4) 'I'lieniiiriate t)f i)ot;ish proved some-
what superior tf> the sulph;ite. The in-
crense in rm-h case being hut slight. (.">)

cation of liquid fertilizers from below liy

The fine weather brings in si)j,ht the
annual brief season of practically our
street flower fakirs, in the guise of true
American dwellr-rs, natives of near-by In-
dian reservations. Tlirse individuals ap-
pear on our street.'^ e:nly each year, first
with small buiidlo-shajH'il bunches of
sassafras bark, directly following with
bunches of wintergreen berries and foli-
age, while just now the beautiful and
sweet trailing arbutus, tied up in short-
stemmed, stiffl,y arranged bunches, be-
comes theirselling product. As salesmen
they are most modest. In absent, sober
gaze they usually stand against a build-
ing front, silent and undemonstrative,
and would-be buyers are most compelled
to seek out their offerings.
The Pan-American.
Downtown the leading feature of
demonstration on Wednesday, May 1,
the otficial "gate-opening day" to the
public, was limited to outdoor national
Hag displays. Througli an inal]iiity to
put on the finishing touches, it has been
deemed best, locally, to fix on .May 20 as
the opening day proper. This will be
made a civic holiday here. A parade
and fitting ceremonies will form a part of
the program. .\t the exposition som(^
portions are quite incomplete, but all are
progressing finely. The touches in gar-
dening outdoor effects where patches of
grass will make settings and bits of
shrubbery and foliage tit so nicely with
other features, are hardly as yet in evi-
dence. .\s compk'ti'il, however, the slop-
ing banks of the sunken b.-ise in front iif
the United States (lovernment I'.nilcling
are beautiful with pink hyacinths now
in flower, supplemented with arabesque
patterued beds of pansies in fair bloom.
Directly in front of the building itself is
a. beginning of the "cypress" effects
which are iutende<l to be leading features
of the sunken partterres. At theenti-ance
end of the grand basin a large planting
of pansies in partterre-shaped beils has
been done.
This week is scheduled as "carnation
week" in the floricultural dep.artment.

Warm Weather,
The thermometer is now standing
at 70 degrees in the shade, so you can
imagine what the carnations and roses
are doing under glass. The cut of the
former lias doubled within the past few
days, but as yet there is no glut in sight,
and business is fairly good. The retail
stores are all doing more or less business,
but tliey are not rushed by any means;
advance inquiries are coming in for com-
mencement season, and June will proba-
bly see a good trade.
Since last writing the water in the Ohio
River has done a vast amount of damage
to the market gardeners, as ^vell as to
some of our florists' establishments in the
flooded districts. The river reached 59 feet
7 inches. It has fallen about 5 feet, but
it will be a week yet before it is back in
the channel.
Notices have been sent out by the sec-
retary of the Cincinnati Florists' .Society
calling attention to the annual meeting,
which occurs May H, at 8 p.m. Elec-

The Market.
The weather has become veiy sea-
sonable, and flowers are more plentiful,
though rather the worse for quality, after
the continued cold, dull spell. The sup-
ply of flowers isa little too heavy for the de-
mand.thoug-h the latter part of lastweek
a scarcity occasioned quite an unusual
state of affairs for the last of April, it
being impossible to obtain enough stock
of some sorts to flU orders. American
lieauty and Ulricli Brunuer sell pretty
well, the best grades of the latter at
$2.50 per dozen, while extra American
Beauty make 93; smaller grades of both
range "from $2 to 75c. Bride and Brides-
maid are in good supply, though the lat-
ter are a little off color. Carnations are
more plentiful and values have dropped
somewhat, $2.50 per 100 being the high-
est figure for best of the ordinary varie-
ties, smaller grades making $2 and
$1.50, while poor stock sells at $1.
Fancies realize $3 to $4.
The supply of bulbous stock is shorten-
ing up. Von Sion narcissus now makes
$2 per 100, with tulips at $2.50 to $4.
Lilies continue very plentiful and are
moving slowly.
Violets are about over with, though a
few of pretty good quality are yet to be
had; but the flowers are all rather light-
colored. Arbutus now meets with better
demand as the violet supply becomes
lighter. Sweet peas, too, find a brisk call,
and clean up daily; in fact, more of them
could be disposed of; $1 per 100 is the
ruling figure for most of this stock,
though a limited supply of extra flowers
goes to $1.25 and $1.50. Pansies in small
bunches, marguerites, etc., also sell well
just now.
The News.
Edmund M. Wood, who has been
seriously ill for about two weeks, is on
the road to recovery, but the improve-
ment is very slow, and it will probably
be some time before he gets about again.
"Jack" Hannon, who was known to
many of the older greenhouse hands,
especially those in Dorchester, died this
week and was buried Tuesday.

Xeir Horticultural Hall.
The new building still has the cha-
otic appearance that always immediately
precedes the completion of a piece of
architecture, but there is no doubt it
will be ready for the opening exhibition,
May 29. Inside the building the ceilings
of the exhibition rooms are practically
flnished. These ceilings, with their ribs,
domes and arches of butf tile, corrugated
and laid in such . fashion that the light
striking the corrugations makes them
seem to be of two shades of buff, when,
as a matter of fact, all the tiles are of the
same color, are particularly interesting
to people who follow the latest develop-
ments of modern building. Their con-
struction is claimed to be the most thor-
oughly fireproof possible. It consists
wholly of tiles, the customary steel frame-
work being omitted. The arches, which
at first glance are purely decorative, are,
therefore, also the supports of the floor
a.bove, their strength lying in the force
by which each tile presses against its
neighbor, and so holds the whole in place
— an idea taken bodily from old Roman
architecture. Another point that excites
questions is the earth floor of the large
exhibition room. Its purpose is to ena-
ble tlae pots containing flowers to be
sunk in the earth itself, and so produce
the effect of a great garden. In the com-
ing exhibition, for example, the pots will
be treated in this manner and the ground
then turfed over. — Morning Herald.

Horse Show Helps Business.
The horse show was the most suc-
cessful of any we have had. The city has
iDeen full of visitors, and business was
very good. Cut flowers, especially yel-
low and blue, the horse show colors, were
in great demand. Yellow narcissus and
roses sold better than at any time lately.
Violets were also largely asked for, most
of them coming from Brampton.
Roses and carnations are now coming-
in freely, h. p. roses being rather too plen-
tiful. Lily of the valley has been a little
scarce.
Bulbous stock that was planted out is
looking well, and in many places the
early tulips will soon be in bloom.
There was a fine show of flowering
plants on St. Lawrence Market last Sat-
urday, and considerable business was
done. The day was fine and warm, and
a good many people were out.
Thos. Manton.
Tarrytown, N. Y.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Tarrytown Horticultural Society was
held April 25, President Smith in the
chair.
The Executive Committee reported the
following essays and dates for the bal-
ance of the year;
May 30, BuaC/Enas — Joseph Mooney.
June 27, Small Fhuitb — Uavid McFar-
land.
July 25, Useful Commercial Ferns —
.John M. Cooke.
August 29, Cyclamen— J. E. White.
September 20, Hardy Shrubs — Thomas
Cockburu.
October 31, General Propagation—
J. W. Coley.
November 28, Caenationb — William
Scott.
December, Election of Officers and
Annual Dinner.
C. E. Nossiter was proposed for mem-
bership, and Messrs. Alex. McClelland,
Alfred E. Cooke and Grossman, elected.
Two handsome Spira'a astilboides, in
7-inch pots, were shown by William Scott.
The judges, J. E. White and David Mc-
Farlaud, awarded the exhibit a certifi-
cate of merit.
The secretary was instructed to send a
letter of sympathy to Andrew Grierson.
Mr. SteveiLSonwas elected to fill the va-
cancy left in the Executive Committee
through the resignation of Wm. Turner.
John Shore, of Harrison, a member of the
Port Chester society, read an able paper
on "Where are we at?" The essayist
was loudly applauded and awarded a
vote of thanks.
Mr. Shore deprecated the disappearance
from private collections of the many
plants found there previous to the advent
of the chrysanthemum, and referred to the
similarity existing now between the prod-
ucts of the private gardener and those
of the commercial grower. He pointed
out the noticeable awakening to the need
of a change in this respect, which would
no doubt be stimulated bj' the establish-
ment of the botanical garden at Bronx
Park. The speaker also dwelt on the
advantage of the question box and the
discussion of exhibits made at our socie-
t.v's meetings, but regretted that the
paucity of the species oi plants cultivated
and shown by gardeners nowadays, pre-
cluded any general enlargement of knowl-
edge along that line. He was greatly in
favor of interchange of experiences be-
tween members of different societies, even
though the latent talent in any one par-
ticular association was inexhaustible.
H. J. Raynor.
Grand Rapids.
Since last report the weather has sud-
denly turned hot, more like July than
April. Violets are over, and the process
of stock-making for next season is in full
blast. It will take about 100,000 plants
for the replanting by the local violet
growers, and about as many more will
be propagated and potted up for sales.
Of the varieties to be planted here next
season 60 per cent, will be of Imperial
and Marie Louise, the remaining 40 per
cent of Lady Hume Campbell, with a few
Swanley White. The dark-colored violets
sell best in this market, with Lady Hume
Campbell a close second until about
February 1. The latter requires about
10 degrees more heat than the dark
sorts, consequently is a very desirable
variety to grow a little farther south.

where the climate' IsTtoo warm to culti-

r All the florists are plantiug their carna-

change to take place to rush the plants in.
Business has been a trifle quiet the past
few daj's. Shipping- orders, while still
good, are not as numerous as last week. "
It is surprising the quantity of lilies
that can be seen around town and how
cheap they can be had. Eoses are fine
and retail at $1 to $1.25; carnations,
35c. to 50c. per dozen. Bulbous stock is
over. Roses are plentiful, but no carna-
tions are going to waste.

state of Trade.
A change has come from coM east
winds to bright sunny clays, with the
thermometer at between 70 and 80 de-
crees, and on Monday morning its effect
\\ as visible in a vast quantity of roses
thrown on the market. These were in-
liiiied to open on exposure, and had to be
sold at some price or go to waste.
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria is already
Kliowing up well, and (iolden Gate is also
very conspicuous. This latter rose is in-
creasing in popularity.
Carnations are stifl good sellers. Vio-
lets ol house culture are nearing the end.
Pansies have been selling at 50c. per 100.
Sweet peas are now more plentiful and
bulbous stock is no longer unmanagea-
ble. The first Southern lilac of the sea-
son came in last week, poor at first, but
is now in better shape. Greens of all
kinds are scarce, smilax particularly so.
Lilies are still abundant; they are fairly
good, but will not bring above $5 to $8.
alias also are plentiful.
.John Mangel has expended $800 on an
inclosed double window, one side on
State, the other on Washington Street.
It is the height of the store, the ice being
placed overhead. The window is the
most effective of anything in this line in
this city.
A report is current that a very fancy
retail store is to be opened in the Palmer
House Block shortly.
New Rose Garden at WashiogtoD Park.
Fred Kanst is planting a new rose
garden to the north of the big conserva-
tories in Washington Park, in thorotighlv
prepared beds that will take between
four and Ave thousand plants. Bv a new
arrangement of the grounds in 'front of
the conservatories, where the flower gar-
den is situated, the new rose garden in
reality forms an addition thereto, all in
the shape of a sunken Hower garden,
with the elevated esplanade in front of
the conservatories as a boundary to the
east and a new elevated driveway to the
west. The flower garden proper will be
closed by an Arbor vitie hedge and the
rose garden by one of privet, with huge
vases and other accessories suitable for
a piece of dressed floral garden work.
The varieties of roses will consist largely
of those kinds that are adapted to our
climate. The stock, as far as possible,
was obtained of American growth from
Storrs & Harrison.
In the conservatories are four .\gave
americana pushing up to flower this year,
after 30 to 35 years in preparation."
Among Growers.
John Muno, Rogers Park, has one
house of Meteor, planted in January,
now making fine growth, also one house
of American Beauty planted and start-
mg up finely. His stock of vouug plants
is in the best of condition and includes
that to be used for planting the new (30,-
000-foot range now being built by Jacob
Phillip for his son Henrv. This takes
about 14,000 plants. The varieties are
Bride, Bridesmaid and Meteor. The build-
ings are being put up by Michael Wi-
nandy ; Garliind gutters and iron posts are
used. The houses are 25 feet wide, 7 feet
to gutter, with four benches to a house.
It Is expected they will be ready for plant-
ing by the middle of May.
Henry Phillip is shortly to marry Jlr.
Muno's daughter. He will consign his
flowers to Muno's new wholesale store,
to be opened on or before May 10, in the
Atlas Block, corner of Randolph Street
and Wabash Avenue.
Michael Winandy, who is a grower as
well as a greenhouse builder of long
standing around the Ridge, will also con-
sign to Muno. This will make another
strong addition to the wholesale houses
of this city.
Mr. Muno himself has 75,000 to 80,000
square feet of ground covered with glass,
a large part all modern, well-built houses.
The old range may be rebuilt and mod-
ernized later in the season. All are in
roses, save three or four hotises of carna-
tions. Among the latter he has propa-
gated all he could of The Marquis. His
varieties of roses are .\merican Beauty,
Meteor, Bride, and Bridesmaid, with a
few Liberty, in which latter he has not
lost faith yet, and expects to get into the
secret of growing it successfully.
Three Million Carnations in the Ground.
Florists are now hustling to get
their carnations planted. When the work
is done there will be tributary to this
market 3,000,000 plants in the ground.
We venture to say there are several sin-
gle growers who alone will plant more
carnations this year than the combined
growers did 10 years ago. True, there

The Market.
Business iu the cut-flower line was
quite satisfactory the past week ; ever j-
thing sold out fairly well, with no short-
age excepting possibly in Meteor roses,
which were a little scarce at one time.
Prices also range good for the .season of
the year; some very fancy roses sell as
high as 8c., while the lowest figure is 2c.,
fairly good stocli going at about .5c. Car-
nations are in good supply at IVjC. toSc,
according to kind and iiuality. Some
fine sweet peas are in, selling at $1 per
100. American Beauty are around again
in limited quantities. Some few Narcis-
sus poeticus from farther south are com-
ing in. Ferns are still scarce and of such
poor quality that they are nearly worth-
less.
Bedding out has commenced here, and
if no set-back is experienced the work will
be in full s'sving from now on, as the
weather seemsto have settled into warm,
almost hot, the thermometer running up
as high as 80 degrees the past few days.
With the advent of the bedding season
comes the trouble of prices for the goods
sold. Present indications are that stock
will be disposed of at figures lower than
is necessary. Little difticulty is experi-
enced in getting a fair price in general,
but it seems some one makes it a business
to go in and cut prices on some particu-
lar thing, and that makes it hard to ob-
tain a decent value on others. For in-
stance, a downtown seed store adver-
tises moon vines three feet high, in large
pots, at two for 25c. They might as
well get nearly that for a single plant.
Another firm seems to be strong on little
roses, and is selling good 3-inch stock at
$1 per dozen. And so we expect to hear
of these cuts until everything is covered,
when we shall be obliged to let stock go
for one-half or two-thirds of its value,
whereas it would be just as easy to ob-
tain the full price.
The nursery business is about over.
We consider it has been only fair in vol-
ume. More could have been done along
ornamental stock lines. Fruit tree busi-
ness was, no doubt, extra good.
Xotes.
Mr. and Mrs. Max Herzog will pa.r
a four months' visit to the fatherland
this Summer. We wish them a safe and
pleasant time.
The floral decorations for the recent
big banquet given b,y the World's Fair
people were executed by the Reissen Flo-
ral Co. Large quantities of the best
stock in the market were used.
Mr. Block, representing the Cincinnati
Cut I'lower Co., was a recent visitor.

Queer Behavior of Seeds.
Some surprising results have followed
the distribution of seeds by the (lovern-
ment this year. Down South, where the
planting is done early, complaints are
made that flower seeils liave yielded beds
of assorted garden truck, to the astonish-
ment and disappointment of the planters.
It is explained in Washington that an in-
crease of 60 per cent, in the distribution,
authorized by Congress, has made it im-
possible to obtain a sufficient quantity
of various kinds of seeds, and that to
meet this trouble the contractors have
been given some latitude.
'The Agricultural Department, how-
ever, seems to have done its best in
a perplexing situation. The Secretar.v
corrects a popular misunderstanding by
announcing that it is not the intention
to give away seeds enough to produce
paying crops, but only to enourage ex-
periments, so that the grower may deter-
mine what isljest adapted to his peculiar
soil, and then get his own supply of seeds.
—Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat and
Chronicle.
If the purpose of the Secretary of Agri-
culture be as stated by our contempo-
rar.v, the end he seeks to accomplish is
frustrated by allowing the distribution
of seed packets labeled "A Selected \a.-
riety," and it will be exceedingly difficult
to determine what variety of seed is best
adapted to one's soil if, for instance, he
plants what he is led to believe is onion
seed and "Mignonette, Plain" comes up,
or vice versa.
Import and Export Statistics.
The following imports and exports of
shrubs, plants, seeds, etc., are for the

seeds amounted in March, I'JOl, to
$163,378, against $180,326, the value of
the imports for March, lUOO. The dutia-
lile imports of seeds amounted to $151,-
925 in March, 1901, against $29,38-1 in

The exports of seeds to other countries
amounted to $190,481 in March, 1901,
against $352,598 in the same month ot
1900. The couiitriesto which the United
States exported seeds were the United
Kingdom, which received shipments to
the value of $43,559 in March, 1901,
against $79,627 in the same month of
1900. Shipments to France amounted
to $475 in March, 1901, against $3,310
in the same month of last year. Germany
imported seeds from the United States in
March, 1901, to the value ot $599,
against $110,390 in March, 1900.
A decrease is noted in the exports of
seeds to other European countries, the
amount for March, 1901, being $4,624,
against $10,659 in March, 1900.
European Notes.
We have now enjoyed a full week of the
most perfect Summer weather, with a
heat wave of exceptional streng:th in
England, and already its effects are very
visible in our growing crops. They have,
however, mucli leeway to make up, and
intending visitors to our shores will do
well to remember that crops are still fully
four weeks later than usual. A cold
easterly breeze that has prevailed during
the past two days will help to check any
very rampant growth.
A rush of contract orders for radish,
placed at the last moment, has proved a
very disturbing element. The effects are
likely to be somewhat unpleasant at har-
vesttime and are certain to furnish con-
genial (?) employment to the customs
offlcials of your various ports of entry.
Death of D. T. Fisb.
The venerable D. T. Fish died on
April 22 at Edinburgh. Originally
trained as a gentleman's gardener, he
rapidly attained a high degree of promi-
nence in his profession, and as a recogni-
tion ot his abilities the honorary degree
of F. E. H. S. was conferred upon him.
For many years he has been in great
request as judge and speaker at the prin-
cipal exhibitions in all jiarts ot the TTnited
Kingdom, while his c(uitributious to the
horticultural press have perhaps been
more numerous than those of any other
unattached writer.
A brief autobiography published some
years back in the Gardeners' Chronicle
was one ot the tew mistakes of a good
and useful life.
The seed trade owes liin> a debt of
gratitude tor having, by voice and pe",
extended the knowledge and cultivation
ot many useful vogctablcs and beautiful
flowers" that might otherwise have re-
mained unlinown. Euuoi'KAN Seeds.

medals for plants or groups; the latter,
Blx first prizes, two gold and six silver
medals, also for plants or groups.
In the exhibition the difference in the
stock grown by our Holland nurserymen
and those of Belgium was observed. In
our nurseries one will find many plants,
easily grown, fit for the market, and
cheap. The growing of palms, crotons,
dracaenas, orchids, etc., our nurserymen
leave to amateurs; our business men
wish to make money without running
great risk. Belgium, our southern neigh-
bor, has a record for growing Azalea in-
dica, palms, dracfenas, crotons and or-
chids.
In the hall, just opposite the en-
trance, I saw a circular bed of double
tulips, the exhibit of Messrs. .J. Schertzer
& Sons, Haarlem. It contained the finest
and newest varieties in this line, and was
awarded a gilt silver medal. Close to it
was a collection of blooming shrubs — blue
cytieus, berberis. Viburnum tinus,magno-
lia, deutzia, Prunus avino flore plena,
Cytisus laburnum, acacia, etc., every
plant being a specimen. Next to it was a
bed of Azalea indica in bud. The owner
evidently had been a little behind time,
but I had the opportunity of comparing
the methods of growing adopted by our
florists with those of the Belgian azalea
growers. It seems to me that the former
are unable to treat the azalea in such a
way as to bring about a perfectly com-
pact mass of buds or flowers, as seen in
the plants of the Belgian growers.
In the same bed the Calla rethiopica of
H. Hornsveld at Baarn, near Utrecht,
showed what can be done with these
plants; they stood in tubs, each plant
having nine or ten flowers. A very fine
lot of yellow genista and 25 finely shaped
and splendidly bloomed Azalea indica,
both lots exhibited by W. H. de Groot,
Wson, stood next. From the same grower
came a bed of white, rose and red flowered
ericas — beautiful plants. This followed a
group of decorative plants from J. L.
Draps-Dom, Establishment Horticulture,
J-aeken lesBruxelles (Belgium), the finest
I have ever seen. It consisted of cory-
phas, kentias, arecas, calamus, geonomas
and several other species.
Abed of Cyclamen giganteum from Aid.
Maarse, Aalsmeer, did not show exceed-
ingly large flowers ,but the colors were
unusual — dark red (not that common
dark violet, but really pure dark red) and
white, spotted with soft rose colors,
never seen in cyclamen.
Close by was a group of plants, sent in
by Draps-Dom, consisting of crotons,
dracfenas, ericas, cycas, araucarias, ph(p-
nix, chaniferops, marautas, an excellent
lot. From the same exhibitor came a
group of dracsnas, real jewels. These
two groups were separated by a bed of
Reseda robusta from thetirm of K. Visser
& Sons, Aalsmeer. I often have seen
resedas of that variety, but never with
such gigantic flowers as those shown
here. Every bunch was of a length of at
least eight inches. The exhibit was
awarded a silver medal.
An extraordinarily beautiful collection
of orchids was exhibited by P. W. Suto-
rius, Baarn, and gained a gilt silver
medal. Mr. Sutorius is an amateur and
he musthave a large collection of orchids,
being able to send in so many and such
fine and strongly flowering plants.
Another collection of orchids, shown by
Draps-Dom, was awarded a gold medal.
A fine group of dracfenas from Draps-
Dom and a group of conifers from Messrs.
D. & J. Keessen Bros., Aalsmeer, was
each awarded a gilt silver medal.
Many floral pieces were shown. The
finest was a wreath for cemetery pur-
poses, the exhibit of P. van den Hack,
Amsterdam. It was composed of cycas
leaves and Asparagus Sprengeri to
which were attached white hyacinth cells,
rose Gloire de Dijon, some Calla tethi-
opica, white lilac and white violets. The
piece was awarded a gilt silver medal.
On the balconies were shown some 200
designs for mosaic beds, gardens and
parks tor cottages and estates, besides a
well-assorted display of agricultural tools
and implements. The greater part of the
latter were made in the United States or
were American inventions.
Crop Conditions. — Inthebulbcountry
. between Leiden and Haarlem recent hail
showers caused much harm to tlie leaves
of the tulips. Some fields are'quite gray
or white; and now with dry east winds
and sharp sunshine we can see the mold
(fire, as we call it here) spread every day.
We expect a small tulip crop on account
of tlie damaged foliage. Hyacinths are
going on and selling very well. Many
narcissi were frozen last winter, princi-
pally double Von Sion.
Last Sunday the bulb fields were visited
by thousands of people. J. B.
Civil Service Gardeners.
Out of 22 men of the fist of 51 furnished
City Forester Doogue by the Civil Service
Commission who applied atthecity green-
houses May 1 for positions as scientific
gardeners, only one was hired after a
practical test, says the Boston Globe.
Eighteen of tlae men, who claimed to he
qualified nurserymen, were given a pair
of pruning shears and asked to trim a
tree. One man began to cut off the roots;
another, with nervous fingers, tried to
cut off the main branches of a young sap-
ling; some gave up the test in disgust.
One man was found to be fully qualified
and was at once engaged. The other 20
were told that if they were willing to
work as laborers employment would be
given them if they would return to the
commission and register as such. It is
probable that the superintendent will
now advertise for men, sending such as
may prove satisfactory to the commis-
sion to pass their examination.
How to Advertise.
One or two insertions of an advertise-
ment seldom pays. It is consecutive, con-
tinuous, persistent efforts that win in ad-
vertising, as in all other affairs of busi-
ness. The twelfth advertisement carries
part of the weight of each of the preced-
ing 11, and the fiftieth is worth 10 times
the first. The first is simply an introduc-
tion, and few people remember an intro-
(luction unless subsequent meetings serve
to impress it upon them. Friendship
ripens slowly and through constant
association. This is true in social Ufe, in
business, in advertising.
— The Opera Glass.
There are some things that an adver-
tisementshouldn'tcontain. There should
be nothing personal in it. The honest
man reads his own advertisements and
then those of the others, and says what
liars all men are. He wants to go in for the
others. Don't do it. The public will say:
That man's sales must be pinched; see
how he writhes. — Robert C. Ogden.

A Little Pruning. — Planting has
been completed in most States by this
time, and a few remarks on pruning' will
be timely. There is rarely any loss and
usually much gain from pruning freshly
planted trees. The loss "would be when a
shortening in of branches had been done
when the treeorsh rub would have grown
very well without the operatiou; even in
this case the pruning would result in a
bushier tree. lUit when it is remembered
that it is next to impossible to dig a tree,
large or small, without injuring some of
the roots, it follows that the chances of a
loss from pruning are very slim indeed.
In the case of shrubs, even, a good prun-
ing should be given. But little flower can
be looked for this season, and a good
cutting back means a nice lot of young
shoots for next year's flowering, so the
advice is to cut these back well.
In the case of trees, and shrubs, too,
for that matter, a thinning out of useless
branches is often pruning enough. It
matters not where the lessening of
branches takes place, and sometimes the
appearance of the specimens is worth
preserving. Often in the hurry of plant-
ing the soil is not packed in firmly, and
this, too, should be looked into at the
time of pruning. A good ramming in of
tlie soil when it is not too wet will often
be the means of saving the life of some
recently transplanted tree or shrub that
appears to be slow in budding out. The
pi'eseut is the time to attend to this
work, before the hot days come.
Evergreens will endure pruning as well
as deciduous stock, but do not cut below
live foliage, or new shoots may not form
at all.
Calycanthus (Sweet Shrub). — The
well-known sweet shrnlj, Calycanthus flo-
ridus, has fallen in the estimation of a
great many persons, but, I am pleased to
add, finite undeservedly. Previous to,
say, l."> years ago, the bushes of th's sub-
ject found in many old gardens bore
flowers of delicious fragrance. So sweet
were they that it was the andjition of
every young couple starting honsckeep-
Ing and owning a garden to plant a
" shrub l)nsh." All this has changed, and
numerous are the complaints coming to
nurserymen regarding the non-smelling
or ill-smelUng shrub bushes now sold.
But it is time to tell our readers the truth
in the matter. In the Southwestern States
there grows wild a so-called "sweet
shrub" whicli is not the true one at all.
The former was sent out anil is still
being sent out as Calycanthus Moridus,
which is the real old-fashioncil kind, but
after it had lieen in coninii'rre a while it
was looked up by some autlmritles and
found to be not C,floridus,butan entirely
different species— C. hrvigatus. This spe-
cies seeds profusely, while the true C.
floridus rarely seeds, making it (luite
scarce in cultivation.
The seedsof this bogus C. tloridus being
easily obtained, theshrub hasbeeu distrib-
uted far and wide under the name of C.
flori<lus, and doubtless the greater
number of those possessing it do not de-
tect the substitution.

As to the merits of C. lEeviKatus, had it
but tlie fragrance of theC. floridus it would
be superor to the latter, because of beiuK
such a free grower, and in this respect
being much the superior of the two.
While it flowers freely and possesses some
fragrance at certain stages of the flowers'
growth, it is a fragrance not equal to
that of C. flori'lus, and, in fact, to some
it has no attraction at all.
Pruning Evergreens Too Close. —
It is well known to planters of experience
that in the planting of deciduous trees
late in Spring, after the.v have pushed
into leaf, while proper to shorten in tlie
young shoots considerably and to defoli-
ate them partly, it is almost sure death
to the trees to strip oft every leaf. Some
of the foli.'igo must be left on and main-
tained I'rcsli, if jios.silile, to Ii;i\'<' .-success.
The same is true of evergi'reii trees, tliiuigli
but few give a thought to it. Evergreens
shed an annual crop of leaves in late
Summer, just as deciduous trees do. The
difference is that the evergreen maintains
a crop of leaves more than a year, so
there are always some leaves on it of a
later formation than those that fall.
There is no law governing evergreens
under which all behave in regard to the
length of time a crop of leaves is m.ain-
tained. The white pine holds a crop but
about 16 months, just long enough for a
new crop to have perfected itself; then it
drops.
Errors in pruning sometimes occur by
clipping evergreens below what is really
live foliage. In the case of the white pine,
for instance, should it be clipped in .Inly
and the growth of the same season cut
away, the operation would be really a
cutting away of all live foliage, the
needles below it being about to fall,
though perhaps still green.
An evergreen, unlike a deciduous tree,
will not make new growth from below
its live foliage to any satisfactory degree.
The leaves which fall in late Summer are
practically useless for some n>onths be-
forehand, and if all but these are cut
away the tree is destroyed, it being ren-
dered in the same condition as a decidu-
ous one stripped of its leaves in Spring.
This unwiseshearing haskilled or spoiled
many a hedge and many a choice speci-
men evergreen.

Arbor vitte hedges are sometimes seen
with patches bare of foliage, which defect
has been brought about by too close
pruning. .Some few years ago a neighbor
had such a hedge spoiled by cutting it
back about two feet, quite below a point
where any green twigs existed. The dead
stumps along the tops for several years,
until after the side shoots had grown up
and overlapped them, were a pretty good
lesson to those who nhservecl tlicni.
Young shoots of sucli e\ crgreeiis as the
Arbor vitte and retinositoras are not as
stubborn in the way of making fresh
shoots from below the live foliage as are
such conifers as pines, flrs and spruces.
Taking the pitch pine and the red pine,
the Norway and the hemlock spruces, the
flrs from the PaciUc coast and other spe-
cies, in pruning them, beware of cutting
below the live foliage.
This being the case, it follows that
Spring would be a better time to [jrune
than Autumn, by those who desire to run
no risk, as there is no foliage aljout to
fall at that time. It dro])S in .\utuuin,
at about the time the foliage of decidu-
ous trees, or perhaps a little earlier, as
an examination of such trees would
show. Joseph Meehan.
Riverton, N. J.
A few bright days at this season of the
year puts every one on the jump, as it
were, in anticipation of a brief and busy
season. This is the condition of things
at the Dreer estate. Mr. Eisele says the
demand for herbaceous plants is far and
away ahead of anything he anticipated.
The aquatic department is lending its
quota. ToquoteMr. Tricker: " Wehaveall
we can handle just now between shipments
to Europe and the I'an-American." At
tlie special request of Mr. Scott, a mam-
moth specimen of the amphibfe was in-
cluded in the shipment. Begonia Gloire
de Lorraine pronuses to be a leader this
Summer; it is in good demand. Pan-
danus Sanderi is doing splendidly. AVe
shall see it among the siglits of Buffalo
during convention week. And, by the
way, our friend •' L.," also Mr. Harris,
w-ho were ilisappointed at not seeing a
sanctified pineapple, have not yet ex-
pressed their opinions regarding this sub-
ject in your contemporary, as it was ex-
pected they would do. Viator.

NOTES BY TBE WBY.
Fall River, Mass. — The three new
houses built to acconimodate the new
carnation Cressbrook are under way.
Thos. W. Weatliereil 's Sons have the eon-
tract. Young stock is in prime condi-
tion. Chattert.on ^yarbul■tou has every
confidence that Crcssbrook will hold a
place in the front rank for some time to
come. It has many virtues: Being very
free and easy to propagate makes it a
profitable carnation for the grower of
rooted cuttings, and its early flowering
quality is one of its best features. Planted
on the bench as early as August 1 and
pinched back it will come into crop early
and continue. Tli<' habit and growth of
tlic plant are almost iilentical with tliose
of the Mrs. Thomas ^\. Lawson, but the
color of flower is lirighter under artificial
light,with no tendenc.v to show off color.
Its keeping qualities are unsurpassed.
Mr. Warburton, Sr., writes from Europe
that the box of blooms he tools over to
present to his old-time friend Lord Rob-
erts arrived in flrst-class condition, and
was a big suiiirise to " Bobs."
George .Smith thinks Spring business
rather (|uiet owing to dullness in the
print mills. He says it is no trouble to
get the mill girl elated when she has
money to spend, she being his best pa-
tron, thus illustrating her refinement,
while the refined society belle is otttimes
tar less appreciative.
Bangor, Me. — Adam Sekenger is well
pleased with the season's business. The
sliortage of carnations was evened up by
heavy crops of roses, which fact has
forced the queen of flowers into the lead
for the time being, anyhow. He keeps
three ice chests filled in so many different
towns, having branch stoi-es which are
liroHtable. Flora Hill is the best white
carnation here. Thedeiuand lor a better
white is strong, one that can show a
record from different parts of the country
similar to wliat The Marquis and Mrs.
Lawson are doing. Much is expected of
Norway and Lorna. It will be interest-
ing to note their several successes as
profitable fancy kinds.
Bath, Me.— .1. H. Ramsey & Co. report
a big business in the nursery departinent.
Paul Olin, who lias charge of the houses,
says he has no complaint to make. Tlie
call for set pieces is as stron,g as ever. A
ship 16 feet in length, with "every detail
worked out in natural flowers, was one
of his recent -works of art, and used up
several hundred of his seedling carna-
tions, which is a gem among pinks.
Hartforp, Conn. — G. S. Osborn says
he has no reason to complain. He can-
not understand the ratio of percentage
some figure out in their reports of Easter
business. If it was 20 per cent, better
than last year's, which he doubts, and
last year will be found to be better than
the preceding, and so on ad lib., where
do ^ve commence our calculations*? In
noting these remarks, I am of the opinion
that business generally was not nearly
so good as at Easter of last year, when
all records were broken. More stock was
left over and less money made, as higli
prices were paid and not realized, owing
chiefly to the unfavorable weather.
John Coombs is erecting two houses,
each 30 x 1.50 feet, of Hitchings con-
struction. He had a fine lot of azaleas at
Easter, but says Niobe proved a .Jonah.
There was an abundance of moisture. He
has a flne stock of bedding plants which
are going out at a lively rate.
Corning, N. Y. — A. H. Woeppe! wasshy
ot carnations, but his roses on solid beds
have done splendidly and proved a bo-
nanza during the Easter season. He is an
advocate of early planting, having had
his carnations out as early as April 15.
Wallingford, Conn.— G. H. Rowden
is among the fortunate ones, with a good
stock at the right time and in very fair
demand.
New Haven, Conn.— Smith T. Bradley
is laying out a .Japanese garden in the
rear of his greenhouses, with fish-pond
and collection of bamboos. He makes
his place very atti'active and is well re-
paid in the iiitere.'^t shown by his patrons.
.John Pouglity lias fully recovered from
his accident and is busy getting the
Spriii.g .stock into shape. He has a well-
grown lot of plants.
W. .J. Rowe, who formerly had charge
of the Kendall estate, is now with J. A.
Sperry.
Worcester, Mass.— C.A.Ke.ves reports
larger orders than usual for Spring, and
all that is wanting is favorable weather,
whicli is coming along and will make all
hands hustle from now on until after

Market News.
The cut-flower market is almost at a
standstill ; but little business is going on
and flowers are very plentiful. The stores
do not show much activity, as most of the
flower buyers have gone or are going out
to their country places. A few large
weddings have kept some of the retailers
fairly busy, and roses being cheap they
have been used in large quantities at these
functions.
Ciut> MeetiDg,
Only a slim attendance graced the
club meeting on Tuesday evening last.
Kvery one is busy now with the rush of
Spring work. Robert Cridland, of Thos.
Meehan & Sons, read his paper on " Land-
scaping as Part of the Florist's Business,"
and Robert Kift told about the opening
of the Pan-American Exposition.
Next Wednesday, ilay 15, will be
"Ladies' Night" at the club room. The
committee is now making preparations
for a large gathering. The affair will
begin at 4 p. m., and light refreshments
will be served at 0.30 p. m.
Here and There.
Robert Craig & Son have a house of
hybrid calceolarias now in full bloom.
The firm staged 25 plants at the club
meeting on Tuesday evening ; these were
all good and showed a large assortment of
color.
Robert Buist & Co., seedsmen, will va-
cate their present store on Market Street,
below 10th, by .July 1, owing to a change
of ownership of the buildii g. The new
owners will occupy it themselves.
D. Ijandreth t^c Sons' retail department,
at 10th and Market Streets, reports a large
increase in business over past years.
As the convention at Buffalo will be in
the first week of August, instead of the
third week as in the past, only two more
meetings of the Florists' Club will be held
before the convention, so that no doubt
matters pertaining thereto will come up
at the June meeting. David Rust.
Utica, N. Y.
A good attendance, many new names for
membership and muchenthusiasm marked
the flrst regular meeting of the Florists'
Club and seemed a good omen of the so-
ciety's future and prosperity.
The question of importance was regard-
ing the wisdom of holding a flower show,
and although all arrangements were left
until some future meeting, it was decided
that an exhibition should be held during
the coming Fall.
Baker & .Son displayed a vase of their
seedling carnation. No. 11, a very attract-
ive crossof Albertini upon Armazindy,and
the thanks of the society were tendered
J. L. Dillon, Bloomsburg, for a bunch of
his regal Queen Louise, w hich commanded
the unbouu'ied admiration of all who saw
the flowers.
Next meeting will be held Thursday,
June 6. S.

BRffiFS FOR BUSY FLORISTS.
CiiRysANTHEMUMS. — The number of
plants to be grown fortlie coming season
will have been decided upon by this time,
and young stock can be propagated at-
cordingly. After the cuttings are once
rooted they should bekept growing with-
out check until they flower, and to this
end it is best to keep them away from
extreme heat, so that they will grow
slowly but steadily, and to give them
larger pots when necessary, to avoid
their becoming root-bound.
Geranicms. — These should be in 4-inch
pots by this time. It should be remem-
bered that in addition to being one of the
most useful bedding subjects, the gera-
nium is one of the most sought after as a
pot plant for cemetery puiposes on Me-
morial Day. To meet this demand it is
a good plan to place two or three plants
together in an 8 or 10 inch pan. Taking
those of uniform size and putting tlieni
togetlier now will insure nice pans by
the .30th, and they willbring asufficleutly
advanced price to more than pay for the
extra trouble.
Palms, Ferns, etc.— As there will soon
be plenty of empty space on the benches,
by reason of the bedding plants having
been placed outdoors, one can give a
thought to such ferns and palms as are
likely to be needed next Fall and Winter.
I'urchase the small stock now and grow
it on through the Summer. By securing
young, thrifty plants now of such as
nephrolepis ferns, dractenas, kentias,
arecas, pandanus, etc., and growing them
carefully during the .Summer uionths,
they will make salable stock for next sea-
son, and will have been produced at a
limited cost — much less than they couki
be purchased for when grown to decora-
tive size.
BOUGAINVILLEA Sanderiana.— This
plant has come rapidly to the front as a
Winter and Spring flowering pot subject,
and no florist should be without it for
next year. Small plants are offered by
many large growers, and the culture of
the plants is so simple that no one need
be backward in trying a few dozen.
Potted in good rich loam and plunged
outside when the hot weather arrives,
they will make a luxuriant growth that
will be covered with beautiful flowers
when put in the forcing house next Win-
ter: or, the plants can be flowered nicely
at Easter time if brought along- in an iii-
termediate house.
A Lawn Made by White Clover.
Tliere are perhaps few things more an-
noying to the florist or gardener than to
find a piece of ground that refuses to pro-
duce a lawn. The making of a lawn
seems such a simple thing when com-
pared with the many difficult problems of
greenhouse and garden, that the ojjer-
ator hates to confess himself beaten by
so small a matter. Blue grass, Rhode
Island bent grasses and other grasses
commonly used for lawn work may make
so poor a catch that no grass at all might
lie considered an improvement. In such
cases thebaflled gardener sliould fall back
upon white clover. It will make a fairly
good carpet and will be l)y no means un-
sightly. In dry weather it will stand up
better than most grasses. It will cover
with a dense mat of creeping stems the
unsightly bare spots, and may be readily
mo^ved with a. lawn mower, more easily
and less frequently, in fact, than a grass
lawn. But the great point in its favor is
that it will improve the soil upon which
it grows by collecting nitrogenous plant
food from the air and leaving it in the
soil for the use of other plants that may
be growing among it. By starting with
white clover, giving it a dressing of pot-
ash and pliosphoric acid, and in a couple
of years planting grasses, the once obsti-
nate piece of ground may be easily made
to produce a sward. Patience is the only
thing tlie grower can rely upon; grass
must be planted a little at a time among
the clover. This method lias worked
well upon soil brought from basements
and left upon the surface by ignorant
workmen. My lawn is a case in point.

OUR SUPPLEMENT.
Aralia Splnosa,
Oneof the most beautiful of small trees,
and one but rarely seen in perfection, is
that which we have the pleasure of illus-
trating for the benefit of our readers.
And we do not think it is too much to
say that a prettier group than these
three aralias present does not exist. The
group is in Fairmount Park, Philadel-
phia, and, as can well be believed, it is
one of the charms of the grounds in the
viciuity ot Horticultural Hall, where it
stands.
Some years ago we were kindly pre-
sented with a photograph of these trip-
lets by the authorities of the park, but
lovely as it was, the one shown surpasses
it, because of being taken when the trees
were in lull display of flower.
This aralia is a native, tliough rarely
met withiQ anyquaniity. In the vicinity
of Philadelphia are one or two in a semi-
wild state; probably having sprung up
from seeds scattered by birds. An iut.-r-
estiug fact about this tree is that when
young, and especially when bereft of foli-
age, a more unpreteniious object could
not be found. The stems are prickly,
and for afewyearsno branches are made;
there is buta straight, prickly stick. On
this account it is called by some " Hercu-
les' Club," by others " Devil's Walking
Stick." Even when of good size, there is
not that about it in its dormant season
suggesting its grandeur when clothed in
Its Summer dress. As most all araUas,
hardy and greenhouse sorts alike, grow
from pieces of root, this species, when
growing on a lawn, is apt to make a few
suckers if its roots are cut or injured.
But after attaining some size, as these
have, with roots well out of the reach of
injury, no suckers appear. We are not
strangers to the park, and have never
observed suckers about these plants.
The reason why such sparse branching
trees as aralias appear so abundantly
clothed with foliage is because of the size
ot their compound leaves. When vigor-
ous, a leaf may be two to three feet In
length. This large spread of foliage
makes a splendid shade, and is a good
place under which to place a seat, always
remembering the prickles, which, how-
ever, are not as sharp on the stems ot
good-sized trees as they are on younger
specimens. The flowers ot Aralia spinosa
add greatly to the merits of the tree.
They are small, greenish white, and pro-
duced in immense heads; and, better yet,
appear In midsummer, when hardly any
other tree is in flower. As the blooms
fade the flower stalks take on a reddish
tint and green berries form. In time the
berries change to the color of the stems,
the whole forming an immense head of a
light red color. The photographer caught
tue trees illustrated just as they were in
full flower. The picture shows something
of their size, but it is no exaggeration to
say that many a single head of these
flowers would fill a half bushel measure.
The grouping of these three aralias and
the general view displayed are good les-
sons in landscape arrangement. The
trees themselves are about IS feet in
height. Glimpses of the park are seen be-
tween the trees, and beds of mixed
shrubs and plants; while on the left of
the path, which winds past, is an uncom-
monly fine specimen of the European horn-
beam, Capriuus betulus, a most useful
small tree for lawn planting. This horn-
beam Is sometimes used for an ornamental
hedge, as it bears trimming well, form-
ing a thick hedge, and though its leaves
die in Winter, It holds many of them till
Spring. There are many other genus
Closely alUed to araUa, such as dimor-
phanthus, fatsia, panax, oreopanax and
others, many of the species of which have
been called aralias by various authorities.
The common spikenard of our woods is
Aralia racemosa,and there are two other
low-growing ones, A. nudicaulis and A.
hispida. But of all the sorts known, na-
tive or foreign, there is not one, we think,
of the general value of that shown in our
illustration, the Aralia spinosa.

Home Grounds Competition.
At this late date allow me to thank you
for the supplement in connection with
the home grounds competition which was
Ijublished February 9. The out came out
finely; in fact, I cannot see why it is not
fully equal to the photograph. Allow me
also to congratulate you on your untirlLg
efforts to advance floriculture; your paper
is always ah acceptable visitor, and many
valuable suggestions have been gleaned
from its columns. D. Wm. Brainard.
Thompsonville, Conn.
The Subject of Amalgamation,
Elsewhere in this issue we present the
solicited views of Mr. C. W. Ward, of
Queens, N. Y., on the subject ot the pro-
posed amalgamation with the S A. F. of
the various exisling organizations devoted
to special branches of floriculture. As
emanating from one «ho has at heart the
best interests of the S. A. F., as well as
those of one or more of the other floricul-
tural bodies, we ask for Mr. Ward's
opinions, so frankly expressed, that they
receive the careful study and consideration
to which they are well entitled by those
most vitally interested.
There is one passage in his communica-
tion that appears to us to point a way
whereby the object aimed at by the re-
organizers of the S. A. F., who will as-
semble in Washington on Tuesday next,
may be satisfactorily accomplished. V\ e
quote it: "An alliance ot the American
floral societies upon a basis that would
give each society a representation upon the
central executive board, proportioned to
the numerical strength of its paid-up
membership roll, preserving the inde-
pendent self-government and autonomy of
each of the allied societies, would seem to
me feasible, practical and possibly de-
sirable." It seems to ua that deliberation
looking toward reconstruction of the S. A. F.
along these lines may evolve some plan or
method whereby a satisfactory airange-
ment may be arrived at that will make tor
the welfare of all concerned, which condi-
tion is assuredly the one sought.
Conundrums for Judges.
The cause of the dissatisfaction in con-
nection with awards made by judges at
some horticultural exhibitions nowadays
is not so much, perhaps, the incapacity of
those who give the decisions for a particu-
lar work in hand, as the oftentimes very
indefinite phraseology ot the schedules,
which renders a correct interpretation of
some of the stipulations governing ex-
hibits a diflScult task indeed.
The latest conundrum is this respect
that has presented itself occurs in the
schedule of premiums relative to the show
held jointly this week by the Horticultural
Society of New York and the New York
Botanical Garden, and is as follows :
Class 15— For the best Horticultural
Novelty In plant, fruit, flower or vege-
table. (That is, anything distinct and
not previously in general cultivation in
America) ^50
To give a correct and satisfactory decision
here would seem no easy matter ; in fact,
impossible, so much depending upon what
lies behind or is embodied in the word
■' best " and the possibility of comparison.
As neither "fruit " nor " vegetable " came
before the judges on this occasion, only
" plant" and " flower," their labor was of
course made less arduous ; and between a
plant and floweis of Gerbera Jamesoni, a
plant of the newgolden Pandanus Sanderi,
and three plants of tree ivies in|pots, tue
judges decided in favor of the first-named
subject, which decision was confirmed by
the council of the Horticultural Society.
In view of the information resoecting
the lucky gerbera recently imparted by
the winning exhibitor, Mr. Herringtou, in
these columns (see page 448), ne feel sure
the trade will be interested to know
wherein the points of merit of the exhibit
lay entitling it to the award. May we
hope that those responsible for the decision
will respond to our call for this informa
tion, which, supplied, will be of great
assistance to others who may be con-
fronted with a problem similar to that
which has just been solved ?
In the Conservative for May 2 the
editor, ex-Secretary of Agriculture J.
Sterling Morton, devotes considerable
space to a discussion of the governmental
tree seed matter. After complimenting
former contractors, such as Landreth &
Sons and W. Atlee Burpee & Co., on the
quality of the seeds supplied to the
Government by these firms, he says :
"The plan has been changed. The
principle of paternalism and wastefulness
has not been changed. There is no more
reason for sending seeds gratuitously to
a few citizens at the expense of all citi-
zens than there is tor sendingboars, bulls
and stallions. It Is not the business of
government to do for the people, but
merely to protect the people while they
do for themselves. The free seeds which
are promiscuously distributed by Con-
gressmen and others now frequently 'do'
theGovernment and also ' do ' thosewho
plant them. "
Reflections on Current Topics.
Mr. Editor, indisposition, through a
rather prolonged attack of my predes-
tined affliction — boils — has kept me
quiescent for many moons; but during
the intervening period my " reflectionary ' '
has not been dead, but simply dormant.
On regaining eouvalesceuce I observe
there are still many matters appearing
in the columns of the horticultural trade
papers that provoke reflection, and with
your permission I shall proceed to tell
you how some of these strike this indi-
vidual.
The first thing that hits me squarely
from the shoulder is the prevailing cour-
tesies that are being extended by you
newspaper fellows one to the other. I
rather like these amenities; they show
me just how much you think of one
another and where your weak points lie.
It looks, too, as if " dirty insinuations "
still form the choice food ot your oldest
Western contemporary. Well, sir, it's la-
bor lost endeavoring to make the leopard
change his spots. The game ain't worth
the candle.
One of the " greatest yet" in the way ot
an advertisement that has come under
my observation is the foUowing: "If you
want to get the want you want to get,
you want to get your want ad. in," etc.
That's just lovely, and reminds me of this
one: "Of all the smelts that e'er I smelt,
I never smelt a smelt that smelt as that
smelt smelt." That beats "galix.galax,
galox" for originality and euphony —
don't it?
It is a true saying and worthy of all
acceptation that "cleanhness is next to
godUness." The very acme of cleanliness
in florists' estabUshments has been dis-
covered by Nomis, who thus chronicles
the fact in a western trade paper: "La-
dies may go through the place in their
silks and satins and depart without hav-
ing their fineries [whatever these may be]
soiled or dusty." That's grand; and the
information will no doubt be hailed with
immense satisfaction hy those refined so-
ciety belles who, dressed in silks and
satins, meander through florists' green-
houses. It's something in these days to
come out of such places without spot or
blemish even in homespuu. Evidently
one florist is in a fair way to reach "yon-
der shining shore."
Can you inform me, Mr. Editor, why it
is necessary for a trade paper to ask for
the name of a subscriber in order to fur-
nish him with "seasonable news" relative
to any undertaking in which he may be
interested'? Would it not save the sub-
scriber money and bother if the trade pa-
per were to print the news if it is worth
printing, and if it is not, of what use is
it to the subscriber'? Tliis is "a dawn-ot-
the-century " conundrum.
Am pleased to note that I have not
been placed in the position of "Phil A.
Delphia" by having to call down some
other fellow for swiping my nom de
pliime and " appropriating it to his own
uses." When one has displayed so much
originality, ingenuity, etc., in covering
up his identity, and behind which he can
reflect and administer upper cuts and
solar plexus jabs ad Jib., tending to a
complete revolutionizing or regulating of
things in general horticulturally,it is tan-
talizing in the extreme to have some base
imitator step in and endeavor to deprive
one of that credit and protection. It
looks to me as if the case in question were
one .for the nomenclature committee of
the .S. A. F. O. H., for here is surely a
clear instance of wilhul duplication.
Shakespeare says: "Who steals my purse
steals trash." Is a common, every-day
noin de plume of more valuethan a pock-
et-book, or is it not'? " That is the ques-
tion."
I am to make an experiment this
year, "the results of which will be
watched with interest" — by myself. Hav-
ing been favored with some of Uncle
Sam's free seeds, among which was a
packet of "Mignonette, Plain," I am to
follow the cultural directions supplied
and sow the latter seed " where bees are
kept" — in my bee-hives. 1 wouldn't do
this, only I am told by my benefactor
that the deUcious fragrance of the
flowers " cheers the sick and the droop-
ing." That suits my case exactly, and
after the Mignonette, Plain, has' blos-
somed and lescapethe attack.s of the bees
with no greater harm than a swelled
head, I'll communicate to your readers
the effects ot this governmental bracer
on Job.

The S. A. F. and the Other Societies.
Editor florists'' Exchange:
111 response to your request for an ex-
pression of my kleusastothe desirability,
feasibility anil practioability of attempt-
ing ail amalgamation or alliance of the
various national lioricultural societies
now in existence under the charter of
the S. A, F., I beg to submit the folio wing:
The idea that the S. A. F. is now com-
ing into the iield to arrest the develop-
ment of any of the floricultural societies
now in existence and inveigle them into
a position whereby they uiay gradually
be extinguished or become subservient
must be set aside as impractical and fore-
doomed to failure.
If there is any amalgamation of the flo-
ricultural societies of America possible,
it will be only practical when every one
recognizes that the S. A. F., the Carna-
tion, the Rose and other similar societies
all stand upon the same footing. Each is
au independent, free organization; none
is a parent; none is an auxiliary; all
are principals. The fact tliat any society
was organized a few years prior to
another gives it no claim to prerogatives
which do not pertain and belong to each
and every other horticultural society in
its own particular field.
I am aware that certain of the original
framers of the S. A. F. have created the
pleasant fiction in their own minds that
because of prior organization the S. A. F.
is the parent of all horticultural organi-
zations in this country, and as such enti-
tled to dictate and control all future hor-
ticultural organizations. No greater fal-
lacy was ever promulgated. Tlie fact
that to a certain extent these same
gentlemen sought to frown down the
organization of the Hail Association
and the Carnation Societ.y seems to have
escaped memory. The Hail and Carna-
tion Societies owe nothing to the S.A.F.,
save a tardy recognition after their suc-
cess was demonstrated and their strength
developed, and any claim to tlie contrary
is pure assumption. It is true that the
S. A. F. set the example of American na-
tional horticultural organization, but it
derived the idea from other American
organizations, as well as from the exist-
ence of similar organizations in England
and other parts of Europe. So it is
e(|ually true that Massachusetts and Vir-
ginia led ill the Declaration of Independ-
ence; but in the formation of the Govern-
ment of the United States, Massachusetts
and Vii'ginia secured no greater represen-
tation than was warranted by the
numerical strength of their respective
populations.
Fortunately, the radical views as to
the parental capacity of tlie S. A. F. are
being rapidly modified and dispelled.
Even the loudest alarmists have ceased
to tlilnk and will soon cease to cry that
one and only one horticultural associa^
tion is possible in this land of eventually
200,000,000 inhabitants, and that if
all horticultural organization is not re-
stricted to one body, disaster will follow.
This is anipl,y disproved by the present
strength of the American Carnation So-
ciety and Florists' Hail Association and
the growing importance of the American
Kose Society, as well as by the flourishing
condition of the S. A. F.
There may be sophists in our ranks,
but sophistry will not prevail. There is
that wealth of hard common sense and
native shrewdness among florists that
are developed during the life experience of
all successful American bnsiiiess men,
which will in the end guide the interests
of American floricultural organizations
into safe channels, where the national
growth and development of their inter-
ests will be accentuated, expanded and
encourageil, not impeded, discouraged or
restricted.
Is not a more concentrated effort, a.
more collective cooperation desirable?
To this I Avill answer yes, provided it
can be sccnreil \\\X\i a proper and eijuita-
ble reprcseiitatiou of the various interests
proposed to be allied. No one section of
the interests sought to be allied may hope
to secure control of the new society now
being formed nnderthe charter secured in
the name of the Society of American Flo-
rists; il'it docs, itshopes will bedoomed to
disapiioiutinent, for such control would
mean the failure of the florists' best efl'ort
toward collective, organized coopera-
tion, and the sound common sense of the
fraternity of florists wiU not allow such
a movement to succeed. '\ ' *~^_
Advancement is desirable, essential,
whether made under one central head or
whether made through the efforts of a
number of special organizations, each de-
voted to the development of its particu-
lar specialty.
There should be no restriction upon the
development of American horticulture,
or upon the organization of American
horticulturists in any way for the pro-
motion of such development.
The conference at Washington on next
Tuesday may develop ideas more ad-
vanced and more comprehensive than
have yet been promulgated. It is a con-
ference full of import to American horti-
culture. If broad, advanced ideas pre-
vail, much will be accomplished — possibly
the cooperative alliance of many of the
American floricultural associations may
eventually be brought about. If, on the
contrary, uarrow-minded counsels and
wishes hold sway — if those who wish un-
due power to be given to the Society of
American Florists insist upon that
measure, no practical cooperative alli-
ance will be possible.
An alliance of the American floral socie-
ties upon a basis that would give each
society a representation upon the central
executive board, proportioned to the
numerical strength of its paid-up mem-
bership roll, preserving the independent
self-government and autonomy of each
of the allied societies, "would seem to me
feasible, practical and possibly desirable.
The stumbling-block which, I fear, will
prove a bar to the success of such a co-
operative alliance will be the determina-
tion of some of the founders of the S. A.
F. to secure tor that organization the
control of the central organization, and
the refusing to the other societies an even
representation upon the central govern-
ing board, based upon the numerical
membership strength.
The American Carnation Society has
passed far beyond an experimental stage;
it is in a highly prosperous condition. It
has been the means of encouraging a re-
markable,;advancement in the flower
whose interests it guards. The commer-
cial advancement of the carnation, coex-
istent with the growth of the Carnation
Society, serves as magnificent evidence of
the society's success and usefulness, and
is a fuU and sufficient answer to any and
all questions as to the opportuneness and
utility of its existence. There are among
its members many men of ability, keen
perception and strength of character,
who will prove amply able to discern and
weigh the disadvantages that would
accrue to the Carnation Society should it
enter into an alliance that would rob it
of any measure of its distinctive exist-
ence, or produce for it entanglements
that might impede or restrict its steady
onward march of improvement, provided
its managers keep a clear head and per-
severe in a steadfast purpose; and any
effort toward a cooperative alliance
with the Carnation Societj' must take
into account the ideas and interests of its
members, and the same will prove true
of any other society with whom the
S. A. F. may seek an alliance.
Nevertheless, with all the divergent
ideas and views that may arise, much
that is of great good and benefit will be
accomplished by the new movement, and
the foundations for the cooperative asso-
ciation of the national societies at some
future date may be laid.

PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION.
The Carnation Show.
The gates of the exposition proper were
opened to the public "at the regular 50c.
admission rate on May 1, although, as
previously reported, the formal opening
exercises will not be held until May 20,
which date has been fixed on locally for
a civic holiday and celebration of the
event.
The horticultural department is in the
hands of Fredericlv W. Taylor as superin-
tendent or manager, Wm. Scott as assist-
ant superintendent In charge of floricul-
ture, and Eudolph Ulrich in charge of the
general constructive surface an(l land-
scape gardening features as planned in
the beginning by a corps of famed land-
scape architects.
The amount of operating work and
materials handled for accomplishing this
in constructing basins, canals, roadways
and varying surfaces for ornamental ef-
fects has been extensive. A goodly number
of small trees and shrubs for temporary
effect have been planted. Quite a display
of rhododendrons is now being placed in
beds at effective points. A distinctive

VThe^StateTof ^Connecticut 'has a table
display of wild flora, in which Housto-
nia cft'rulea L. (or "bluets") is a very
floriferous and most attractive little
flower.
H. A. Dreer,Inc., have fitted up aneat dis-
play of seeds and horticultural goods, and
W. C. Krick, of Brooklyn, has an attract-
ive space filled ^vith specimens of his im-
mortelle work and plant stands and
holders.
As decorative features in this depart-
ment, Mr. Van Nieman, deputed there-
for, collected a lot of wild Florida orchids,
ferns, etc., which will show well as post
and pillar embeUishmentsin the conserva-
tories.
The large horticultural building proper
is progressing well in appointments and
installation of exhibits. It reaches an
inside height of 200 feet. The structural
framework is mostly painted white, and
under the direction of Miss Adelaide
Thorpe, of the exposition staff of color
artists, the upper portions of the interior
have been lavishly trimmed and festooned
with artificial foliage and garlanding,
bold in make up of form and colors, and
with some flowers intertwined.
Recent visitors of the craft at the expo-
feature of prospective merit is the utili-
zation of hundreds of .-Vrbor vitst, which
were brought from New Jersey last Fall
and wintered over, portable shape,
with the balls of roots, in boxes. These
are now being placed to good effect at
terminal walk points and as a setting
on each. side of entrances to the leading
buildings. They range from 10 to 20
feet in height.
With water basins and canals forming
a leading decorative part, considerable
aquatic planting has been done, which
will show to advantage in short order.
Floriculture, under Wm. Scott, was
practically ushered in by the carnation
show, opening on Wednesday, Ma.v 1,
scheduled to continue foreiglit da.vs. The
display was made in the large horticul-
tural building proper, where available
space was ample.
The number of exhibits was large. The
arrangement of tables and classes and
labehng, too, seemed a bit confusing.
Ten classes were scheduled, .^s given us
the awards passed on by J. F. Cowell as
judge are as follows:
Fifty blooms of red.— First, C. W.Ward,
with J. H. Manley; second, Chicago Car-
nation Co., with .T. J. Shedd; third, A.
Herrington, with G. H. Crane.
Fifty blooms, white. — First, E. E. Mar.
quisee, with Seedling 22; second,.!, (iani.
mage & Sons, with Mary Wood; third
Chicago CarnationCo., with White Cloud'
Fifty blooms, light pink.— First, C. T'
Guenther, with The Marquis; second, L"
The flowers kept remarkably well, fa-
vored evidently by the temperature of
the building. The blooms generally were
not at the best as earlier in the year, and
some arrived in defective sliape. The ex-
hibitors showed commendable spirit in
instances of furnishing renewing exhibits.
Notably here were H. Weber & Sons,
whose first arrival was not in prize-win-
ning shape. Their exhibit included Nor-
way, Genevieve Lord, Buttercup, Egypt
and Mrs. Thomas W. Lawson. C. W.
Ward also renewed his exhibit of Governor
Roosevelt, as did the Chicago Carnation
Co. in the varieties shown by them.
In the floricultural department Wm.
Scott is now a very busy man. He is
nicely installed, with offices and helpers, in
a well-lighted gallery room of the building.
In the conservatories the exhibits now
in place and ready include several tables
occupied with a display of named gera-
niums and pelargoniums from C. W.
Ward, Queens, L. I. A show collection
of pines donated by W. Gordon Brown,
of Hobe Sound, Fla., some of them in
fruit; 20 of these latter are in tubs and
boxes and as mauy smaller sized in pots.
Mexican cactus, aloes and succulents;
tea plants from Japan, under the auspices
of tJie " Foods" department, and a table
of George Wittbold Co.'s Nephrolepis
Wittboldi show attractively. Six speci-
men .ireca lutesceus, ranging 12 feet high
and absolutely of perfect growth, from
the Forest Lawn Conservatories, occupy
a leading central space.
sition included L. E. Marquisee, Syra
cuse, N. Y.; George Specht, of Rochester;
J. Gammage, London, Out. ; Mr. DeMute,
representing J. H. Dunlop, Toronto, and

Flooding: of Ohio River.
The photographs herewith reproduced
were taken during the recent flooding of
the Ohio River, and show how the back
water encroached upon the grounds and
even filled the greenhouses of some of the
craft. When the photographs were taken
the river stood at 59 feet 6!A inches,
which was the highest point reached this
year.
Photo No. 1 gives a general view of the
greenhouses of K. AVolf, at CumminsviUe.
The water had backed up, turning his
back yard into a lake. By building the
dam seen in the photo around his
houses, he was able to keep the water
out of these for a time: but shortly after
the picture was taken tlie dam gave way
and his greenhouses were flooded to the
depth of about 2% feet. His loss, if any,
will be small.
Photo No. 2 shows the establishment
of Ben Glins, also of CumminsviUe. His
entire grounds were one sheet of ^'ater
from 1 to 3 feet in depth. In his green-
houses the water in some places was
even with the tops of the benches.
Luckily, owing to the time of year, his
loss will be, slight. Picture No. 3 gives
one some idea of how his side yard
looked. The photos were taken from a
flat-boat, which was the only means of
getting anyway near the houses.
;The fourth photo affords an idea of
how the market gardeners In the Mill
Creek bottoms suffered. That their loss
will be great goes without question. In
the foreground were hotbed sash filled
with Spring vegetables. In the distance
can be seen a large number of beau-poles
sticking out of the water. This is but one
view of thousands that could have been
taken, as the flood extended for mile.'j, so
the total loss to the gardeners will be
very great.
These photographs were taken by^C. J.
Ohmer, an amateur, who is in the em-
ploy of E. G. Gillett. E. G. G.
Horticultural Reminiscences
of a Trip to Europe.
( Concluded from page 390. )
Belgium's Parks and Gardens.
I will now say a few words about the
Belgian parks and gardens. I spent a
week in this beautiful country, where
one would think everybody is a liorn gar-
dener and ^vliicli is really the horticul-
tural garden of Europe. Brussels has
several fine parks among others
The Bois de Lacambre,
which is certainly by its location, and
the nature of the ground, one of the finest
of the Old World. There are carriage
drives with well delineated contours, in
all directions, which charm the visltorf
a large lake in the center of which is
erected a restaurant, concert hall, gym-
nasium, etc. The floral decorations are
at the main entrance only. The predomi-
nating shrubs are rhododendrons and
azaleas. I noticed in the park several
beds of fuchsias, growing in the shape of
parasols, that were superb.
The Botanical Gaeden or Brussels
is situated almost in the center of the
city, and it is chiefly here that the art of
the Belgian gardener is skilfully devel-
oped. All imaginable floral decorations
are found there. There is a complete
range of greenhouses and a magnificent
a(|uatic house planted with Victoria
Regia. I visited the
EsTAnLISUMENTS OF L. J. DrOPS-DOM.
at Laken, a suburb of Brussels, where
101 greenliouses are devoted to the grow-
ing of palms, fancy dracipnasand orchids.
I especially went to Ghent to see the
Establishment of L. Van Houtte & Co.
One can hardly imagine the number of
plants this firm grows, chiefly azaleas,
camellias, rubbers, bay trees, palms and
araucarias, the manner in winch these
latter are treated is quite ingenious. Im-
mense arbors are constructed of iron bars
and covered with laths, under which '
these plants are sheltered from the sun.
There was one house of extra choice tu-
berous begonias, grown for seed; many I
of the flowers were over 5 inches in di-
ameter. There were also some splendid 1
gloxinias. Most of the seeds sent out by !
Messrs Van Houtte are grown on tlni
establishment.
Ghent has also a magnificent park,
containing fine lakes and groves of forest
trees. Extensive barracks occui3.y the 1
center which makes it a rendezvous for ;
nursemaids. I also visited the
Sander Establishment at Bruges.
I thought after the other fine places I
had seen there could be nothing i)ettcr,
I was mistaken, however. The r.ruges
establishment "VN'as superior in many re-
spects, to anytliing before witnessed.
Mr. Sander kindly placed his manager
at my disposal, in company with whom
I visited the place in its details. Thirty
large greenhouses are devoted to the cul-
ture of orchids (Mr. Sander's specialty)
about 100 more houses being used lor
growing palms, araucarias and bay trees.
But the azalea is the principal feature.
Over one million of these pl.nits were
growing here at the time of my visit.
The grafting season was at its height at
that time. Tlie union is made "wIk'h the
stock is about the size of a knitting
needle, and no particular ca,re is excrciscil
in the operation. The stock and grafts are
cut diagonally, tied together with ordin-
ary thread, and planted in a medium hot-
bed, or closed greenhouse with a tempera-
ture of 95 degrees until the union is com-
plete. Whea about a year old these plants

iire transferred to the open ground, being
planted in peat, and are re-transferred to
tlie liousi's for protection during the
Winter. I also visited
Antwerp,
but what interested me most liere was
the magnificent harbor.
The London Parks.
Among the last, but not the least of tlie
parks I visited were tlie immense parks
and gardens of London, England.
Unfortunately, owing to the limited
time at my disposal, I was only able to
s(>e a few.
Hyde Park,
tlie greater part of which Is used for
athletic purposes, has very wide avenues,
l)eautiful groves of trees, making it the
I'endezvous of the inhabitants of the larg-
est city in tlie world. Here stancls the
Albert Memorial, Avhich alone is worth
a trip to Loudon.
St. James' Park.
is remarkable for its floral decorations,
and its fine groups of shrubs. Last Sum-
mer it was designated as "blue park "
from the large (|ua.ntity of lobelia used
in the decorations. There was a great
<iuaiitity of carpet bedding in this park.
Battehsea Pake,
on the Thames, is, with the exception
of Versailles, oue of the finest and largest
1 saw. Everything in this park is well
arranged and the useful and ornamental
are blended. This park contains a very
large gymnasium, a superb kiosk for or-
chestra, and restaurant. A fine carriage
drive, with a parallel briille path, i)or-
ilered by fine trees and shrubs, encircle
the park. Its lawn is used as a cricket
ground. There isalso a very fine rockery
and a large nursery for park re<iuire-
ments. The floral decorations are on the
same line as those at the Buttes f 'liau-
mont and the Luxembourg. A ribbon
border of single scarlet and white gera-
niums and Idue lobelia, several hundre<l
feet in length, was very attractive. There
was some very fine sul)trniiical bedding,
and Plumi>ago capeiisis, .-liiutiUms and
fuchsias were also planted in great abun-
dance.
Kew.
The liorticultural section of this parki
tliemuseum excepted, is certainly sujierior
to the .Tardiii d' Acclimatation. The pal-
morium is a very imposing structure.
Ever.vthing inside shows the skill of the
English gardener. Superb palms of all
descriptions are growing vigorousl.y. A
number of greenhouses are filled with
Iilants from all parts of the world, one
aquatic house being especially reserved
for Victoria regia. I measured a leaf
in the house — 8 feet in diameter and
the flowers were over 14 inches. It was
the first time I have had the pleasure of
seeing this fine aquatic in perfect condi-
tion.
Sefton Park, Liverpool,
is the last I visited. I saw this park
in 1874, while in its embr.vo state. I
was much surprised at the change. There
are forests of full grown trees, lakes, and
rivers, with sinuous contours, wide,
shrub-bordered paths, and natural paths
winding among the trees. Many splendid
private residences have also sprung up
around this park.
Honeysuckles.
Along with other interesting and useful
shrul)S grown for trial ujioii the gr<)UiHi8
at the Kansas Experiment Station, for
some .years past the honeysuckles liave
attracted much attention and proven
generall.v well adapted to the comlitions
of soil and climate there ol>t;iined. The
species of this group of plants, tliough
botanically homogeneous, are for orna-
mental purposes so widely varieil as to
fit tliem for several distinct uses in lawn
planting. The list of shi-uhl)\- surt.^ pro-
vi<ies sjiecies of dense, rich and persistent
foliage, sail able for mass-ijlanting in
broad rffrrts, as well as those of charjic-
ter so refined as to render them woi't.hy
of place as single specimens in choicer
situations. Among the twining forms,
again, are those admirably suited to
cover mounds, walls, or rough terraces,
while others, under the care of ajiprecia-
tive growers, are among the most attract-
ive of trellis or iiilla.r plants. Tlie.y are
generally so hardy and so responsive to
culture withal that they deserve a wider
use in g.irdens.
The sr)rls noted in the following com-
mentary are thoseproving most satisfac-
tory, selected from the more extensive
collection under trial.
Erect Sbruba.
LoNicERA fkagrantissima. — A Chinese
species of spreading habit, the branches
curved, with yellowish bark; the leaves
numerous, broad, oval, thick, rich green,
remaining upon the plant until mid-win-
ter, the bushes at this date (December
18) being nearly as green as in Summer.
The small yellowishflowers appear quite
earlyin Spring , before the appearance of
the new fohage, and are very fragrant.
From its nearly evergreen habit and
dense foliage this hone.vsuckle is a most
useful plant for mass-planting in large
lawns or in parks. Its onl.y disadvantage
is found in a less banly wood than some
of the others. Yet this slmuld not cause
its rejection, for its finest effirts of foliage
fragrant, and produced in great abun-
dance upon the new growth. .\s in the
other sjiecies, the amber berries give later
beauty to the shrub, in this sort loading
the branches until they bend with their
burden. As the plant ages it Ijecomes
less attractive unless well-distributed
new growth is assured by some attention
to pruning.
Woody Twiners.
LoNiCERA Japonica. — This .Tapanese
species is liest represented Ijy the useful
Hall's or Halleana honeysuckle, which is
.'I vigorous grower, almost evergreen, the
somewhat downy, rich green foliage even
persisting through the Winter where pro-
tected by blown leaves or snow. The
paired flowers are produced in the axil
of every leaf in the new growth. They
are deeply cleft into two unequal lobes,
are creamy white in color, fading yellow,
and have a penetrating fragrance, agi'ee-
able to most people, though too powerful
for some. While this honeysuckle is
tractive throughout. I'"(n- its ]ierfectio
in form and. bloom it needs attention in
the way of'^an annual removal of over-
taxed wood; and the encouragement of
strong young shoots to take its place.
A very effective "way of displaying its
beauty as an e verbloomer is to grow It as
a standard, supporting it at first upon a
low pillar, shortening in, during the peri-
oil of growth, of the shoots that tend to
grow beyond proper limit. Tliis treat-
ment induces the, formation of a stout
trunk that after a.while lieconies self-siip-
liorting, and of 'a liead of flowering
branches that will give tlieir brilliant
bloom throughout the entire Summer.
.\11 of these twiners are readily propa-
gated by layers of the ripe wood put
down in Spring or of the half-ripeneil
shoots in midsummer. The shrubljy spe-
cies are easily grown from ripe wood cut-
tings, taken in the Fall, protected over
Winter in cellar or pit, and set deep in
nursery rows early in Spring.

are exhibited upon plants that are annu-
ally elose-])runed, though under this
treatment the less ornamental bloom is
sacrificed.
LoNicERA Tartaric A . — The better
known Tartarean or Kush Honeysuckle,
of Asiatic origin, is an erect, vigorous
shrtibjOf a neat habit, the branches cover-
ed with white bark. The leaves, which
appear early in Spring and are long re-
tained, are of the softest and clearest
color, and the species would well deserve
planting tor its foliage alone. But in May
an added attraction is presented in it"s
abundant Iilooin, the flowers being con-
spicuous, graeeful in form, white or pink-
red, according to the variety, and pleas-
antly, though not dccidedl.v fragrant.
Later tlu' twinned berries apjiear, coral-
red or amber-yellow, and in such profu-
sion that the hush is little less ornamen-
tal at this period than during the season
of bloom. 'I'he liesttwo varieties are the
large-Howered white (allia) and thelarge-
flowed red (grandillora), though others
are not greatl.y inferior. This sliruli
should he one of the first in a list for gen-
eral planting.
Lo.NioERA XYLOSTEUM, thc European
fly honeysuckle, a taller, more straggling
and less handsome shrub than the last,
has yet characters that are sure to at-
tract till! observer. The leaves are not
large, but are smooth and abundant, and
of different shades of green according to
their jiosition uiion the shoot, this varia-
tion giving a. most agreeable impression.
The flowers are small, yellowish white,
largely used as a. trellis or pillar plant,
.and excejit for a too luxuriant growth is
very satisfactory under such use, its
greatest beauty is shown when it is
planted where it can cover a rough wall,
or a mound, or a terrace witha dense
mat of evergreen branches. I'lider such
circumstances it is admirable at all sea-
sons, and is one of the best plants to em-
ploy for such a purpose.
LoNiCERA CAPRiFOLiUM, the European
woodbine, is reim'sented most favorabl.v
by a, variety- from Russia of Professor
Budd's iniiiortation, under the number
13S Voronesh. This hone.vsuckle has
been on trial upon the Kansas Station
grounds for 10 years, and besides prov-
ing perfectly hardy in ordinary situations
it has shown features tlint should bring
it more prominently before flower lovers.
Its growth is vigorous, the shoots long
and smooth, the foliage clean and hand-
some, tlKuigh not as abundant as in the
last. Its flowers are cream-white with
Iiinkish tubes and richly fragrant, and
are disposed so neatl.vin their abundance
that a vine properly trained upon a
piazza screen is a jo.v tti the e.ve. This
species is certainly to be recommended to
all jilanters.
LoNicERA Se.mpervirens. — Tile scarlet
trumpet honeysuckle, a well-kiuiwu fa-
vorite, is another that deserves better
treatment at the hands of the gardener.
As ordinarily grown, without pruning or
training, it is likely to luroine disagreea-
bly naked below, and liy the dying out of
tile crowded bruuches to become uuut-

Englewood, N. J.— T. W. Lydecker is
erecting four greenhouses, each 1 I7x2j feet.
They will be devoted to the growing of
Bridesm lid roses.
Utica, N. Y.— C. a. Nicholson will erect
greenhouses on a plot of ground recently
purchased at Trenton. One house will
be 200 feet iu length, work on which will
begin shortly.
Clean, N. Y.— Ground has been broken
for the ne%v greenhouse to be erected by
W.c:. Ross at the corner of West State and
Highland Avenue. The new building
will haveSO feet frontage, with three green-
houses each 200 feet long extending in
the rear.
Toledo, O.— J. J. Jackson has let the
contract to Bostwick, Braum & Co. for
215 boxes of glass to be used in the
construction of the big greenhouse to be
erected for Henry Crane & Co., of East
Toledo. Some idea of the profits of the
trusts can be gathered from the fact that
last year Mr. Jackson bought for ^f2.50
a box the glass for which he now pays
$5.60 per box. Previously to that the
glass had sold at $1.50 a box.
Cbicago to Buffalo.
The Chicago Florists' Club has in-
structed the committee appointed to
arrange for transportation to the con-
vention of the Society of American Flo-
rists at Buffalo next August, to issue an
announcement to the members and the
trade iu general that it hopes to secure
especially advantageous terms and ac-
commodations this year, and that the
larger the party the better the chances of
securing the greatest consideration from
the transportation lines.
The annual convention of the S. A. F.
O. H. and the Pan-American Exposition
combined will no doubt prove a great
drawing card, and the attendance will
unquestionably be large.
If it could be known definitely in ad-
vance just about how many will compose
the party from Chicago, so the committee
could name an approximate number with
some degree of certainty, it would mate-
rially strengthen them in their efforts to
secure the largest possible concessions.
Will you therefore notify the committee—
1st, whether you are reasonably cer-
tain of attending the convention and in-
tend traveling with the club's special
party ?
2d, whether you hope to join the party,
but are uncertain of being able to do so ?
.3d, whether you have made up your
mind that you cannot attend this year?
Please address reply to any one of the
committee as below.

Exhibition of the Horticultural So-
ciety of New York and New York
Botanical Garden.
The annual meeting of the Horticul-
tural Society of New York was held on
Wednesday, May 8, in the Museum build-
ing of the Botanical Garden at Bronx Park.
The public at large was invited, and among
the attractions, besides the meeting, were
a horticultural exhibition, for which very
liberal prizes were oflered, and an oppor-
tunity to be piloted through the extensive
greenhouses of the Botanical Garden.
These latter form a beautiful structure
and are fairly well stocked with plants, each
being correctly and distinctly labeled,
which is as it should be in all public
parks. Many of the plants themselves
look as if they had been donated to the
park by owners who had become tired of
thena, as they are certainly the sickliest
looking lot of specimens to be found in
the vicinity of this city.
The isociety's exhibition filled one of the
lower floors i.f the Museum building. The
first prize for collection of floweiing trees
and shrubs was won by the Botanical
Garden, J. De Wolf, of the Brooklyn
Park Department, taking flrst for display
of daffodils and narcissus. The premium
offered for best collection of wild flowers,
named, was taken by the Bedford Chapter
of the Agassiz Association, Bedford, \A est-
chester Co., with a very complete collection.
Siebrecht & Sons, New Rochelle, N. Y.,
were the largest exhibitors and carried off
first honors in all of the following classes:
Named collection of ferns, group of crotons,
group of palms and foliage plants, group
of foliage and flowering plants, collection
of conifers, coUectin of azaleas and rhodo-
dendrons, collection of bromeliads and
collection of nepenthes. The same firm
also took second prize in the class for six
orchids, Julius Roehrs, Carlton Hill, N. J.,
being flrst in the orchid class.
C. Weinberg, Woodside, L. I., was the
winner in the class for succulent plants,
the Botanical Garden getting second prize.
In the competition for the t50 prize for
the best novelty of either plant, fruit,
flower or vegetable, A. Herrington was
the winner with the Barberton daisy (Ger-
bera Jamesoni). The two other competi-
tors for this prize were H. A. Dreer, Inc.,
who showed their new Pandanus Sanderi,
and J. H. Troy, showing a tree ivy.
Special awards were given to H. T.
Clinkaberry, Trenton, N. J., for a display
of cypripediums ; G. T. Schunemann for
violets; A. McKenzie for a nice display
of calceolarias; and to N. Stevens for
grapes.
P. Ouwerkerk, Jersey City, staged a
flne collection of conifers; J. H. Troy a
collection of conifers, including some flne
dwarfed specimens; also a number of
plants of the hardy azalea Firefly. The
latter is a beautiful subject for outdoor
work; the flowers are of good size and of
a rich color. An exhibit of specimen palms
and cycascame from Prospect Park, Brook-
lyn.
The society feels that the show was an
unqualified success, and a rosea nd pieony
exhibition the second week in June will
be held at the same place.
At the annual meeting President James
Wood, Mount Kisco. N. Y., occupied the
chair. He spoke of the aim of the society
to make New York City the chief center of
hoiticultural interests in this vicinity, and
stated that in addition to the June show
one in October may also be given. Secre-
tary Leonard Barron reported that the so-
ciety was now composed of five life mem-
bers and 126 members in good standing.
The financial statement showed asatisfac-
tory balance in the society's favor.
The oflicers were reelected. They are :
James Wood, Mount Kisco, president;
J. Crosby Brown, F. M. Hexamer, G. T.
Powell, Spencer Trask and Samuel
Thorne, vice-presidents ; N. L. Pritton,
chairman of the council; Leonard Barron,
secretary; and Frederick C. Newbold,
Poughkeepsie, treasurer. Cornelius Van
Brunt delivered an illustrated lecture on
Spring flowers, the beautiful colorings of
the subjects shown being much appre-
ciated.

Landscaping: as a Part
of the Florist's Business.
Rend hy Robert 11. Criillanil (of the Liimls-
enpe Gurdening Department ut Thomas
Meehiiti d- Sons, Gennantowa. Fa.) before
the Fhirists' Club of Philadelphia, Tuesday
I'Veiiinii. May 7, 1001.
The lU'sire of the people to beautify
their surroundings has become more gen-
eral here within recent years than at any
other period. We have awakened from
the old stereotyped methods to realize
the possibility of design in the adjustment
of the house, roads, paths and other ad-
juncts necessary to the convenience and
comforts of the home. We may have
utility without sacrificing beauty; every
feature is considered a.s to its particular
fitness, and each arranged with regard
to the whole.
The house site is selected with c-onsiiler-
ation for health ami heaiity: exi)nsin'e
must be bright and sunny, the ;;round
properly drained, and the water supply
good. Prospect and aspect, the views to
those within and those without, must be
well pleasing to the eye. Roads must be
as direct as possible and conform to the
topography; should the grades be rolling
and steep, a circuitous <lrive will be essen-
tial to attain an easy ascent. The same
may apply to paths; when, however, the
ground is comparatively level, long-
winding roads or paths, with sharp re-
verses, are in bad taste, and we should
not condemn any one who takes to the
turf where such exist.
The entrance gates are also to be con-
sidered. These should be simple in out-
line and broad in effect; the piers set at
right angles to the drive, and where dis-
crepancies of distance from highway to
piers occur, the same should be made up
in the wing walls.
The designing of the groimds as re-
gards planting reiiuires considerable
thought. Sometimes an entirely new
scene must be created, while at others it
is only necessary to embellish that which
already exists. Vistas are to be made by
planting, or to be opened by the judi-
cious use of the axe. In either ease, a
thorough knowledge of what Nature has
used in the building of her landscape is
essential. The hills are to be explored to
ascertain the various trees and shrubs
that exist; also the lowlands and the
water's edge. On high elevations will be
found the oaks, poplars, maples, ash,
chestnuts, pines, junipers and others;
this will suggest what to use under simi-
lar conditions. Likewise the sweet gum,
red maple, magnolias, alders, with others,
will indicate whattouseon low grounds.
Close to water we find the willows of
various tints of gold and red bark, and
the variety babylonica of airy, graceful
foliage, dijjping its branches into the very
stream. This is nature's guide, and if fol-
lowed will give us harmony at least.
Ingeniousman, however, is not satisfied
with the indigenous, so the catalcij^iies
must be increased b.v numerous importa-
tions. Here is an easy channel to err.
T^ike the boy with|his first box of crayons,
we are tempted to use too many varie-
ties, scattering them throughout the
plantations, "With no more serious thought
for the combinations of colors.
The plants should be arranged in har-
monious masses, and each kicated with
regard to its ])articular beaut.v at differ-
ent seasons. Nature has given material
in the form, leaf, flower, or fruit, with
which to decorate the land.scape at all
seasons, and as the flower, of one variety
is fading another is appearing, thus it
continues until Fall, when the foliage
assumes its gayest attire. After tlie leaves
have fallen the fruit and twig still
brighten the aspect.
In arranging themassesfor color, those
at a distance should be larger than those
closer to the eye. Clumps of the same
colored Howers should not be repeated
too frequently, or it will give the appear-
ance of spottiness.
On observation we frequently see the
lack of judgment in distributing single
specimens over the lawn. liecently was
counted at least 40 plants of spira;a and
forsythia on a small place in as many
different pfisitions, and all visible from
onepoint. This, as you may imagine, was
not ver.v pleasing.
The foregoing refers to the framework
of the grounds, and touches only in the
most brief manner a few of the many
points to be considered by the land.s-
cape gardener.
Whether the work be great or small,
we must apply the same fundamental
principles, judgment and taste. .And it
would seem that the more familiar the
florist becomes with those imi)ulses
which inspire to better methods of design
in landscape gardening, the more artistic
will be those embellishments which are
within his province. Whatever we do,
let it be done with a purpose. If a tree
is to be planted for shade, place it where
it best serves that end. If the space will
not permit of planting one of spreading
habit, use one of pyramidal growth.
The planting of many large-growing
trees on small grounds is not wise, nor
should the.v be placed closer than 20 to
L'."! feet to thehouse. Neverplant a speci-
men because it is attractive unless a
suitable place can be found for it. Con-
sider ultimate size and the general ap-
pearance of the whole. It is better to
map out a scheme with system regard-
less of the rendering of the drawing. A
lay-out nia.y be depicted crudely on paper,
and yet bi' highly satisfactory when real-
ized on the ground.
Specimen plants should be isolated, as
they are not generally necessary to the
picture as a whole. In planting to screen
offensive objects, use the hemlock or
spruce. As a .Summer screen privet is
better, or vines — the dolichos being par-
ticuarly useful in making a quick screen
over a lattice.
We have learned a lesson from the wan-
ton mutilation of street trees by the tele-
graph and telephone companies, which
would suggest, where practicable, to set
the trees back of the building line. Then
the leader wiU be spared, at least, and if
cutting is found necessaryit may be done
symmetrically.
When the grounds are small and the
straight lines predominate, the flower
beds should be located in geometric fash-
ion; what is done on one side must be
duplicated on the other. The beds should
be placed close to the house or the bor-
der planting for they appear best with a
background. lirilliant colors should only
be used when they are surrounded wMth
abundance of green and dark shadows.
Planting at the base of the house is in-
finitel.v better than cutting beds in the
turf. When thus treated use only the
cleaner, free-growing sorts.
Herb;iceous plants, as a rule, are not
suitable for this purpose, and some varie-
ties are as much out of place as a coleus
bed in the woodland. These should be
scattered through the shrubberies in
borders, along the walks of the vegetable
garden, or in a flower gai'den especially
provided, where one may cut at will for
indoor decoration.
There are exceptions, however, and
perhaps all have appreciated the perfect
Iiarmou.v of the larkspur, delphiniums,
hollyhocks, pji^onies and nionkshootl
scattered in a naturalmanneraronnd the
base of a building of the old farmhouse
type. Veronicas, asters and solidagos
seem most suited to the borders of the
woods.
The demand for perennials is becoming
more popular, and in a measure these are
suiiplantiug many of the bedding plants.
Therefore it behooves the florist to fa-
miliarize himself with the best adaptation
of tliese invaluable pl.-nits. and g.iin even
gl'eater distinct ion than he ])ossessed as
the author of the pattern beds.

Market Report.
This has been an extremely dull
week in cut-flower circles, and as stock
is increasing in quantity dail.v, there will
soon be a terrible glut if the retail busi-
ness does not take a sudden turn. As it
is, prices of most everything are going
down rai)idly, and some lines are even
now sacrificed. The violet season is prac-
tically over, and it is no longer possible
to quote values on these flowers. Man.v
growers have ceased to ship on the ad-
vice of their commission agents, and they
are wise in so doing, as the stock would
not realize enough money to i»ay for the
picking and express charges to the cit.v.
Tiiking the season tlirough, violets have
held up in price very well, and those who
have produced flowers of average good
quality will, we believe, have found the
season a profitable one. With the im-
mense increase in the nreaof glass devot-
ed to violets, it was believed when the
season opened that the output would be
out of proportion to the demand. This,
however, has not been the case. Violets
have done remarkably well, and prepara-
tions are already under way along the
Hudson valley to increase still further
the production for the season of 1001 ~2.
Roses of all kinds are at anything but
a uniform price. .Vmerican I!eaut.\' are
freel.v offered at SIO per 100 in some
I)laces, while at others much higher figures
are quoted. Thesaniefiiscrepanc.vis also
noted with respect to Bride and Urides-
niaid, I.ibert.v and Meteor, which goes to
show t hat there are no reall.v fixed values,
and that the dealers are getting what
the.v can and refusing no offers.
Carnations are at the lowest ebb expe-
rienced in a long time. Fancy varieties
will scarcely average $2 per 100, while
good ordinar.v sorts are down to 75c.
and SI, and cannot be cleared out at
these figures.
Tulips jire a drug, and 50c. is a com-
mon price for them.
Cattle.vas are more plentiful and the
demand has diminished; good flowers are
freely offered at $3 per dozen. Some nice
blooms of Cypripedium Lawrenceanum
are coming in and have realized 20c.
each. Lily of the valley has got down
to $2 per 100; sweet peas are at 3c. and
4c. per bunch; marguerites, 35c. per 100.
Stocks, pansies, forget-me-nots, Narcissus
poeticus, etc., are all in profusion, and
are sold by the bunch at almost any price
the buyer will give. Smilax can be had
at|from 10c.|upward. Maidenhairfernand
asparagus remain the same as quoted
last week.

.\lfred Dimmock left this week for a
Western trip, carrying with him samples
of Sander's Automatic Hand Sprayer, a
handy appliance for use with either clear
■water or lifpiid insecticides. It is workeil
by air pressure and diffuses an even, dew-
like spray which may be directed to any
and every part of the plant.
Hermann Warendorf will open a retail
flower store in the Hotel Ansonia Build-

A small delegation of members of the
craft visited the Bronx Park and exhibi-
tion of the Horticultural Society of New
York on Wednesday afternoon.
The bulb display in Prospect Park,
Brooklyn, is at its best; the tulips par-
ticularly are extremely fine. The formal
arrangements have come out very clear
and distinct and show beautiful blend-
ings of colors. The hyacinths are not
(luite up to the standard of the tulips,
excepting the grape hyacinths; these lat-
ter are beautiful and have been planted
freel.v. The display is well worth a visit
by all flower lovers.
The lady proprietors of the Fernery,
Tucker & Babcock, are mentioned in the

in the city doing a retail flower bueiness,

The Keturn of Spring.
Spring is coming with a rush, and
after so much cloudy and cold weather
stock is suffering from the sudden change.
.Not much of the pansy season is left, un-
less a cooler spell sets in. The market is
now crowik'fl with very choice geranium
plants, but in other lines but little is
shown.
Cat carnations are more plentiful, but
the hot spell will check them materiall.y.
Some choice lily plants can be seen in the
stores, also a few cinerarias and calceo-
larias.
Considerable decorative work is doing,
and much funeral work Ims been keeping
many busy.

We found the ".ludge" in shirt-sleeves
among his roses and carnations. The
Bride and Bridesmalcl roses were In
splendid condition and showed careful
cultivation; thecuthas been satisfactory

ply perfect in growth and the plants cov-
ered with buds and flowers. Among the
best varieties were White Cloud, Mrs.
Frances Joost, Mrs. Thomas W.Lawson,
Jubilee, G. H. Crane and Triumph, with
some others also doing well, but Mr.
\esey will not again try them. Soil and
climatic conditions are certainly a great
help in this locality for the successful
growing of carnations. A general stock
of bedding and decorative plants is also
grown for the retail trade, of which, it
seemed to the visitors, much more can be
made were greater displa.v attempted.
After partaking of the kind hospitali-
ties of Mr. and Mrs. A'ese.v, a start was
made for the other greenhouse establish-
ments.
Under the leadership of Mr. Vesey we
visited Miss Flick's place. Here we found
carnations that were also of the best; in
fact, better than the visitors had seen
an.vwhere in their Winter's ramblings.
A seedling, color of Ethel Crocker, showed
good qualities, and from appearances
must be a paying variety. Mrs. George
M. Bradt was perfect, as were .lubilee ami

also good, but will not be grown further.
In this place also a general greenhouse
stock is grown. G. W. Flick is the
grower. Considerable improvements are
contemplated.
George W. Doswell's place, near Linden

degree mark several times. The weather
is also quite dry, especially for bedding
and fre8hl,v planted carnations. The
latter must be suffering badly where
water is not available.
Little can be said in regard to the cut-
flower market, except that there is a
great glut on ; large quantities of every-
thing are going to waste, and no offer Is
refused. We hear of carnntiong selling
as low as J2 per 1,000, and $5 is consid-
ered a pretty good price. I.,ilacB, narcis-
sus, tulips and other outdoor flowers are
plentiful, and the people seem to want
them as a change.
We are somewhat afraid the present
weather will shorten up the bedding
trade, as ver.v hot daysaiul plant business
never did go well together.
Business in the city market so far has
been fair. The great trouble in our city
is the lack of a decent place to show and
sell our goods, which are now disposed
of in the open air, and with the cold,
wind and dust, much of the stock Is
spoiled. There Is'talk of building a new
market place, and we have hopes that
the florists will receive some considera-
tion If the building ever materializes.
Notvs.
The Engelmann BotanlcalClubgave
a free exhibition of native wild flowers.
In which many specimens from around
the vicinity of the city were artistically
displayed. The show attracted a large
crowd. I )n Saturday next the club will
have a field day, meeting on a farm in St.

Trade Notes.
A moderate but decently fair business
in a general way is doing- in tlie stores.
Flowers are in more than medium sup-
ply, suggestive of plenty for all general
needs, but with no surplus. With the
almost passed condition of the violet, the
quality of these blooms holds up well.
Carnations still sell at good prices. Tu-
lips and datlodils of outdoor blooming ,
now appear, reducing both the interest
and value of the stock. Some funeral de-
signs of fair caliber and value have been
in recent call.
,S. A. Anderson had the decorations on
Wednesday of this week for the new
Fleischmann caffe and rathskeller open-
ing. These included a 6 x 4-foot upright
panel easel, mounted, to occupy a posi-
tion on the floor near the entrance door;
this was faced with a vase of propor-
tional size, solid in carnations of various
colors and rose filled. A loose bunch of
roses and carnations alternated on each
of the 24 tables, and palms rather freely
used about the rooms were also features.
Jottings.
W. A. Adams, chairman of the Hotel
Committee in connection with the S. A. F.
convention, is becoming a busy commit-
teeman, and e.>:pects to use the services
of a stenographer shortly. A club meet-
ing is called tor Tuesday evening of this
week, when matters vital to (3. A. F. in-
terests no doubt will receive leading
attention.
Palmer & Son are increasing thecapaci-
ty of their Lancaster, N. Y., plant by two
houses, each of 350 feet by 20 feet.
The bedding-planttradeis being invest-
ed with new interest, it being hoped that
fair prices will be asked from the start,
as all feel sure such may be obtained this
year.
Anent prices, think of 9c. per dozen
packets, which both flower and vege-
table seeds are being sold for at the de-
partment stores. Vim.
Pougfhkeepsie, N. Y.
The regular meeting of the Dutchess
County Horticultural .Society was held
at the' residence of William G. Saltford
Poughkeepsie, on May 1. There was a
good gathering- of members, who appre-
ciated the hospitality of Mrs. Saltford,
and the hearty welcome of the owner of
this model florist's establishment. The
well-grown stock of plants, especially
carnations, was much admired. That
such stock is appreciated in Poughkeepsie
is evidenced by the extensive trade Mr.
Saltford has worked up in his local store.
A business meeting washeld,much time
being taken up by the affairs of the Au-
tumn exhibition. One new member was
elected. An invitation was read from
the patronesses of the Annandale rose
show, asking the society to hold its next
meeting at Annandale in connection with
the rose show, on June 19. The invita-
tion was accepted. C. J.Reynolds prom-
ised to read a paper at that meeting enti-
tled "Some Experiences in the West In-

Trade and AVeather Conditions.
Witli t)ie thermometer above 80
degrees U>y several rlays and jjlenty of
rain, the weather is favorable for stock
outdoors, but under glass it is rather
trying, forcing stock on in abundance.
Roses and carnations are coming in
heavily at present, and the demand is
more for outdoor flowers. Lilacs are
about the main staple from the latter
source. Common violets, as the others
are about done, are selling well. Ernst
Fisher iscutting some gcxnl gUidioli with
stems over .5 feet in length, also fine
American lieauty roses. Sweet peas are
abundant and in good demand.
The plant trade is still slow, but it the
fine weather continues a change for the
better will soon take place. Nurserj'
trade has been good this season, and
landscape gardeners are all busy.
;; John Bader's shipping trade is very
satisfactory; palms are selling quite well.
Fred Burki is making good progress
with his new place, which, when com-
pleted, will be the finest establishment in
our vicinity. The houses will all be of
iron construction. From present indi-
cations there will not be many green-
houses built hereabout this Summer, as
material and labor are rather high in
price. E. C. Reineman.
Boston.
Market Keport.
Littleehange in business conditions
has been experienced during the, past
week. The market is becoming more
heavily supplied every day, and values
on most lines have dropped. Among the
retailers a falling off has been noticed,
caused by an exodus of many of tlie cus-
tomers to their Summer homes. Steamer
trade has just commenced.
The hot weather is having its effect,
too, on the condition of the flowers.
Roses are smaller and, as a rule, lighter
in color, and violets are very light-col-
ored and small, so much so that some
growers have discontinued sending in
their products.
In roses American Beauty and Queen
of Edgely are coming along fast and
moving more slowly, so that many of the
large blooms are left on the hands of the
wholesalers and have to be disposed of
at extremely low figures. Bride aud
Bridesmaid are coming smaller; $10 per
100 is the best figure obtained for finest
grade, with smallerones at $1 and $1.50.
Kaiserin Augusta ^Mctoria and President
Carnot of the new crop are now coming
better, but the call for them is light, and
prices about correspond with those for
Bride.
Carnations have become more plentiful
the past week. Good flowers can now
be bought for $1.50 per 100, while the
finest grades of ordinary sorts make $2,
fancies bringing $2..50 and $3. The sup-
ply of bulbous flowers is diminishing,
though there is still sufficient for aU de-
mands. Lilies are (juite plentiful, but
move slowly.
As stated, there are very few really
good violets, and for these the demand is
rather light; 50c. per 100 is obtained for
good stock. Trailing arbutus is very
plentiful at 10c. to 12i/oc. per bunch.
Sweet peas are in fair supply and clean
up well at $1 per 100.
Here and There.
Coolidge Bros, are bringing in some
very good violets for the season of the
year.
H. M. Robinson & Co. have just received
their first .shipment of new crop of hardy
ferns, of excellent quality.
Welch Bros, are handling the cut of R.
T. McGorum's greenhouses at Natick.
The improvement noted in Edmund M.
Wood's condition continues, and his
friends hope to see him able to sit up in a
short time.
Harlan P. Kelsey has been through
Pennsylvania on a business trip this
week.
The fixtures of the store of Lawson &
Taylor, at 987 Boylston Street, were
offered for sale at public auction on
Thursday, May 9.
The stock of the greenhouses lately run
by R. H. Kidder, at Waltham, was sold
at auction Tuesday last week.
.Tames A. Eraser, representing Peter
Henderson & Co., New York, is in town.
F. J. N.
W. H. Elliott Buys Land.
Wm. H. ElUott, of Brighton, has
just bought a large tract of land in Mad-
bury, N. H. The property consists of 180
acres, with a large brick house of 14
rooms, which Mr. Elliott is at present
husy remodeling, his intention being to
use the place as a Summer home. The
estate is situated in one of the most beau-
tiful localities in New Hampshire, and
contains about 80 acres of woodland, on
which is one of the highest hills in that
section of the country, commanding a
splendid view of the ocean, and from
which the White Mountains are visible.
The other 100 acres are rich grass land
adjoining the Boston & Maine Railroad,
which runs through the estate at three
different places. It is also adjacent to
Madbury Station, making it an excellent
location for shipping facilities. This
farm Mr. Elliott has selected from a great
number that he has seen, in order to get
the best locatii>n and soil suitnble for the
establishnit-nt ot an extensive greenhouse
plant, to Iieearriedon in fonncctitin with
his present business at Brighton, all the
business being transacted at the old
place. A portion of the farm will also be
planted with hardy flowering plants for
use in the business.
Kalamazoo, Mich.
Evidently the past season's business
has been very satisfactory to our Kala-
mazoo florists, as most of them are either
expanding or making considerable im-
provements. The Kalamazoo Nursery
and Floral Co. are so well satisfied with
their first season that they have already
built several hundred feet of cold frames,
and expect to erect this Summer a fine
range of houses, on the most up-to-date
models. They have also a large force of
men engaged on the grounds, platting
out the 30 acres, and planting the same
with choice varieties of fruit and orna-
mental trees, shrubs, etc. W. C. Cook, the
manager, expresses himself as highly
pleased with the firm's future prospects.
Van Bocliove & Bro. will erect an ad-
ditional house, 20 X 150 feet, their already
large plant not sufficing for their expand-
ing business. It will be planted to carna-
tions, as this stock is invariably short
here during the Winter season. This firm
has been remarkably successful with
American Beauty roses this season, and,
indeed, the whole place reflects great
credit on the way in which Mr. Curran
handles matters, and shows what can be
done when employers and employees
work in harmony.
The Dunkley Floral Co. expect to re-
build partly, throwing two narrow
houses into one, and making some im-
provements in their boiler department,
which, when finished, will give them con-
siderable addition to their present bench
room. Their establishment being situ-
ated in the best residential neighborhood
makes it necessary for them to have
everything kept up in good shape. Mr.
Kyle speaks well of the season's trade
and most hopefully of the future.
The greenhouses at Mountain Home
were last year walled all around with
brick, and Mr. Eraser says it has already
made a considerable reduction in the coal
bill. He does not anticipate new build-
ings, but will doubtless decorate up a bit
in due season. A new boiler was installed
last season as a reserve one — a plan to be
commended.
J ohn Calder, the East Avenue florist,
finds a difficulty in getting enough stock
to supply his increasing trade, so he is
making preparations for a new house,
120 X 16 feet, together with a new boiler
room, boiler, etc., which will give him a
nice, compact place, in a capital location
on the way to the cemetery.
Some of the smaller houses also talk of
making additions, so it shows that the
Kalamazoo florists are having their share
of the general prosperity.

Flrat Big Gluts.
After a very short Springs we have
dropped right into dog-day weather.
Leafage aud early flowers are out with a
rush. Tulips are in full glory in the
parks. Seasonable rains are among the
blessings, just right for cirnation plant-
ers aud gardening generally. Our vast
acreage of glass and the hot weather are
responsible for immense quantities of
tlt)wers being thrown on the market, and
the first serious glut has materialized,
with nothing in sight to relieve it. No
effort is made in this city to keep over
stock; it's no use — there is too much of it.
liuyers now have it all their own way;
enormous quantities of flowers are sold,
but the average value is very low.
Extreme heat is, of course, responsible
for a somewhat inferior <iuality, espe-
cially in roses and pink carnations; white
flowers of the latter are good and over-
abundant. Plenty of sweet peas .ire
now in, aud gladiolus is showing up.
Violets are all but over, frame-grown
stock being now the best; pansies are
vei-y good. Hardy ferns are scarce and
high at $3.50 per 1,000. Outside-grown
lily of the vaUey is being sent in from
Club Doings.
There was a slim attendance at last
meeting, owing to the secretary failing
to send out the usual notice. Better re-
sults are looked for on May 17, when
Paul Kopauke will read a paper on the
culture of cyclamen. J. P Sinner, a new
grower, was elected a member. Messrs.
.Sanders, Winterson and Hauswirth
were appointed a Committee on Outiugs
and Entertainments. An old-fashioned
picnic is talked of for July.
Removald and Changes.
H. N. Bruns has bought the retail
florist stand of Thomas J. Corbrej', at
1409-1411 West Madison Street. Mr.
Bruns will erect greenhouses, and have
greater facilities tor his lily of the valley
forcing another year.
C. Schneider (Central Floral Co.) has
opened temporarily at 41 State .Street,
to await the obtaining of his new site.
J. C. Schubert, Wabash Avenue, has
been reappointed smoke inspector by
Mayor Harrison.
J. 8. Wilson was elected president of
the village of Western Springs last elec-
tion day. He had served previously as
alderman.
C. A. iSamuelson, Michigan Boulevard,
has taken a long lease of 2129 .Michigan
.\ venue and given upthe adjoining store.
In its place he will erect at the rear a
fine conservatory, 24 x 40 feet, with a
wide entrance from the store.
Among Growers.
\'aughan's greenhouse establish-
ment at Western .Springs is a veritable
plant factory, everything wanted by the
gardener or florist being turned out.
.James S.Wilson, the ettlcient manager, is
a busy man these days. Everything is in
the best of order, thanks to a fine staff of
50 assistants. The packers are working
night and day, there being an admirable
packing shed and supply house, well
lighted by electricity. From three to six
big wagon loads of packages have gone
to the depot each day for the past two
months. One would not think so by the
look of the greenhouse stages, but the
secret lies in the fact that by forethought
the business is so managed here that as
fast as space is obtained through the
shipping department other stock imme-
diately fills the vacancy, and when this
is properly attended to, it is simply amaz-
iug the millions of plants 50,000 or 60,-
000 feet of glass can be made to turn out.
The big features are palms, a grand lot;
roses of all kinds, in pots and dormant;
cannas,of which there are some 250,00(t;
ferns, especially N. bostoniensis, .Vspara-
gus ])lumiisiis and .\. p. nana, begonias,
chrysanthemums, dahlias, geraniums,
coleus, clematis, especially C. panicuata,
etc.
W. N. Kudd, Mt. Greenwood, on my
visit was unfortunately absent, but from
his foreman I learned that he will grow
The Marquis carnation largely the com-
ing year, also his No. 1 pink seedling, and
No. 6, a large red. (Jeneral Maceo has
been a greiit seller, and with him is much
more prolific th;in Governor Koosevelt.
Prosperity is not satisfactory. He has a
seedling. No. 120, of the .Mrs. T. W. Law-
son type, besides others of apparent
merit, also quite a number of careful
crosses for tri.il this year. The stock of
old plants will he grown until Memorial
Bay is past, then thrown out. The Mar-
quis, at least, will go direct into benches,
a lot of plants being already in 3-iuch
pots for the purpose. G. U. Crane has
been satisfactory and is still doing finely.

General News.
In the Criminal Court of Cook Coun-
ty, George Dolinski was sentenced to be
hangeil for the murder of a fellow florist
named .\nton Lisle. The man's plea was
self-defense. lioth men worked in the
greenhouses of prominent florists here.
Kobert W. Schenk. one time retail
florist, has been appointed gardener in
charge of the city inimping stations.
I'eter Iteinberg shipped a carload of
carnations, out of pots, to New Castle,
Ind., on Tuesday, May 1.
The IjCgislature at Springfleld passed
laws the past week permitting Chicago
to spend S:i, 000,000 for small parks.
Ilenr.v Phillips, of Tonhy Avenue, was
married on Tuesday to Miss Miino. May
success attend the happy couple. Kss.
Cincinnati.
The Market
Hot, dry weather has prevailed in
this section during the past week, and
has had a telling effect upon roses and
carnations. We havehandled double the
quantity of stock, and of course i)rices
have dropped accordingly. Koses are
suffering most from the heat and open
very rapiiily. Carnations seem rather to
like warm weather, and the (piality is
much improved; especially is this true of
Portia, which is decidedly a warm-
weather variety.
The stores are all doing a fair but not
a rushing business, funeral work pre-
dominating.
In the flower market the stand holders
report good sales of bedding stock, gera-
niums going better than anything else
and at fair prices. Robert D. Uuttle, of
Covington, Ky., reports an unusual de-
mand for bedding plants of all kinds, and
in fact is buying to fill orders.
The News.
.T. A. Peterson has decided to quit
the retail store business the first of .lune,
and will sell at public auction, at his
greenhouses, on May 2.3, to the highest
bidder, his entire stock of decorative
plants. This will be an exclusive trade
sale. The reas(.)n for selling is the fact of
his wholesale trade claiming his entire
attention, and he cannot afford to spend
so muchtime away from the greenhouses.
B. P. Critchell has recovered from his
recent illness. His little daughter is now
very sick with scarlet fever, but in no
especial danger. Mr. Wilson, of Corbett
&■ Wilson, is also improving after his long
siege of sickness.
Thonms Fit 7.pa trick, in the employ of
.Julius I'.aer, was married last week; con-
gratulations are in order.

New Haven, Conn.
At a meeting of the New Haven County
Horticultural Society, tield May 7, Pro-
fessor W. E. Britton gave an interesting
talk on insects, illustrated by stereopti-
eon views. Many questions as to reme-
dies to overcome the pests injurious to
plants, both in the greenhouse and out-
side, were readily answered to the satis-
faction of those present. Mr. Britton
stated that an emulsion of one pound of
Ivory soap dissolved in eight gallons of
water, applied with a fine spray syringe
once a week, would hold in check the lit-
tle white fiy which has become so numer-
ous on some greenhouse plants. Toma-
toes, cucumbers, fuchsias and pelargoni-
ums are very badly infested with this fly
here. The soap application has had no
bad effects on the jjlants in question.
Small plants, he said, are better dipped
in the solution, as it reaches tlie under
side of the leaf, where the insects and their
eggs are, better than does syringing.
The society voted to hold a Fall exhibi-
tion of chrysanthemums and other sea-
sonable flowering plants, also of fruits,
vegetables, etc. A committee has been
appointed to prepare a schedule of prizes
to be offered.
Carnation growers are now planting
out their young stock, and the violet men
are beginning to propagate stock for
next season. A few fairly good violets
are yet to be had, but this week will
about finish them.
Carnations are flowering freely, but the
quality does not come up to the standard
of a few weeks ago. Wm. J. Howe.

The seedsmen of the country will, we
are sure, be pleased to learn that Dr. Gal-
loway of the Department of .Agriculture,
in whose hands Secretary Wilson recently
placed all matters connected with the
governmental tree distribution of seeds,
is formulating a system of distribution
which will do away with the present
promiscuous and unsatisfactor.v method,
and through which he hopes in time to
return to the original intent of the act
authorizing the purchase and distribu-
tion of seeds by the gorernment or, at
least, to bring about such a change as
wUl benefit both the seedsman and the
planter. All this will, of course, take time,
but the revolution will likely be inaugu-
rated in connection with the 190;i con-
tract, it being too late to effect any
change in the manner of the 1902 distri-
bution.

The slightest possible check to the heat
reported last week has been succeeded by
a return of the hot spell, and under its
influence turnips and cabbages are rush-
ing prematurely into bloom. The drying
winds have caked over the surface of the
ground as hard as a stone road, and the
luxurious vegetation we desire to see on
our turnip plants, is quite out of the
question. Rutabagas are at a standstill
for tlir pi-e.srnt, and sa.dly need a few
warm showers to lu'lp them along.
Some of tlir latfi- <-ahl)ages are running
blind again this season, and a very short
crop will be still further diminished.
Onion, leek and lettuce are doing ver,v
well, the same may be said of parsley, so
far as England is concerned, but as the
German crops have suffered badly from
frost, there is no prospect of a surplus.
Beet, mangel, carrot and parsnip nee<l a
few showers to give them a start.
The northeast l)reezes which have kept
up a succession of light night frosts, have
also brought the usual crop of vermin in

The Season and Business.
A great change has overspread
nattire in the short space since my last
notes. We were then in tlie throes of
Winter; now Summer is with us. The
five months of steady frost and snow
were extremely monotonous, but it was
an ideal condition for herbaceous plants
of all descriptions, the very teiiderest of
perennials wintering perfectly. Si>ring
has been continuous and very favorable,
and the season is two to three weeks
ahead of last year, ''arnations are nearly
all in the field, and are enjoying the
weather conditions, Tlie sale of betiding
plants has opened up fine, and the pros-
pects for the trade in this line are ver.v
favoralile. The supply of plants is much
larger than in the past, but the growers
think there is no danger of oversupply.
In the regular lines the stores report a
ver.v fair demand, and the same may be
said of cut flowers. Of the latter there is
sufficient, liut no surplus, and prices are
holding good. Altogether the outlook
at present is a great improvement on the
last few months.
Rumors of additional glass are heard
from several quarters, and the probabili-
ties are that there will be a very substan-
tial addition to local glass again this
Summer,

Sacramento, Cal. — B. M. Leong, sec-
retary of the State Board of Horticulture,
committed suicide. May 3, by shooting
himself with a pistol. Lelong was a
prominent member of the Order of Elks,
and a letter addressed to the president of
the local lodge, found on his person read
as follows: "To the Elks and Knights
of Pythias of Sacramento: If you are
charitable take care of my body and help
my wife and child a little, I commit this
rather than bring further disgrace upon
my wife and child. I am not responsible,
but others are." Friends of the dead man
say that he had not been quite himself for
some months. He was well liked in Sac-
ramento during his official residence of
several years, and was one of the most
enthusiastic of local sportsmen. He was
in close touch with the horticultural in-
terests of the State, and was regarded as
a first-class authority on the subject of
fruit pests and their remedies.
Asclepias Tuberosa,— Noticing an ad-
vertiser offering Asclepias tuberosa, leads
me to call attention to this lovely herba-
ceous plant as being a particularly de-
sirable one. All species of asclepias are
desirable, some being uncommonly pretty,
but this one, A. tuberosa, leads. Unlike
most all other kinds, it has a more or less
spreading habit of growth. In the South,
specimens that I have seen have a quite
spreading habit, the shoots appearing
but a few inches above ground before
taking on a horizontal growth, almost
trailing on the ground. On the other
hand, I have seen it growing on the bat-
tlefield of Gettysburg with bold, upright
shoots, two feet or more in height, but
usually, wherever found, the shoots, after
reaching a certain height, take on a more
or less horizontal growth.
The chief merit of this species lies in its
beautiful yellow flowers, which are borne
in flattish umbels toward the ends of
the shoots. When met with in its wild
state it is usually in large clumps, as it
grows from pieces of roots, and when
a root is injured in any way a new plant
usually results from the injured part.
But without this it makes a spreading
clump; and when one comes on a large
mass of it in bloom, it excites great ad-
miration.
The number of species of asclepias is
very large, no less than 20 being native
of the Northern States. A half dozen
good ones, in addition to A. tuberosa,
would be these: A. rubra, red; A. varie-
gata, white; A. quadrifolia, pale pink;
A. incarnata, light purple; A. verticillata,
greenish white; and A. purpurascens,
purple. Though all maintain their flowers
for some time, A. tuberosa keeps up the
display the best of all.
The Moss Pink, Phlox Subiilata.—

others to flower. For general usefulness
and beauty it is doubtful if there is any
early flowering perennial surpassing the
moss pink, also called mountain pink and
creeping phlox. Phlox subulata. No
doubt most of your readers know this
plant and are familiar with its haliit of
growth. It forms a compact mass, keep-
ing close to the ground, so that when
many plants are used and set not too far
apart, there is soon a carpet of green, a
mass of foliage not more than three to
four inches above the ground. This in
itself is a pretty feature, but when such a
mass as described is in flower, it becomes
an unbroken sheet of bloom — a glorious
sight.
The rich pink color is generally accepted
as the normal type, but there are varia-
tions in the flower's wild state, and many
in its cultivated one. Besides the rich
pink mentioned there are more than one
white, also lavender and a lavender pink,
and other shades. I have seen it wild in
New Jersey, in the vicinity of Woodbury,
also in Pennsylvania, at Gettysburg.
The Woodbury one was of the deep pink
color, but that seen at Gettysburg was a
pale lilac. Specimens of the latter were
taken home as memorial plants, and
these have since shown great variation.
The plants from the few brought home
have made many hundreds since, and
flowers of these vary in color from the
original pale lilac to a good pink color,
and I am wondering where they are going
to finish.
As it is such a compact grower and
keeps so close to the ground, it has been
planted a good deal in cemeteries, where
some plant of this character has been
required.
What there might be in it as a pot
plant for Easter remains to be seen.
It is easily grown in pots, and could be
had in Bower at any time at this season
of the year. As a florist's flower it
should meet with some demand, to sell it
as a hardy perennial. So many people
look for pot plants to be of an everbloom-
ing nature, which this phlox is not,
flowering but the once, in May. For the
hardy flower garden every one should
have it, both for its early blooming and
its beauty.
Iris Pumila. — The flag family has
always been a favorite one in gardens,
long before the grand Japanese sorts
made the iris still more popular. There
have been fairly early ones known in gen-
eral collections for some time, as well as
late ones, the Japanese sorts filling the
latter position. The one of which I now
wish to speak, as an extraordinary early
sort, is Iris pumila, a native of Eastern
Europe. This has been in flower since
April 25, and at this writing, May 8, a
group of about two dozen plants is a
mass of bloom. The color of the flower
is a good lilac purple. The plant is quite
dwarf, being not over six inches above
ground. No doubt as the season ad-
vances, the leaves will lengtlien some-
what, but it will be but a dwarf among,
others.
Flags are often in proper position as
edges to beds, and always seem in place
there. For a dwarf edging, no kind
would be more valuable than Iris pumila.
There are two varieties of this species,
one with yellow flowers, the other with
bright blue ones, the three making a
pleasing combination.
Periwinkle.— If we ask an old world
gardener what myrtle is he will answer
Myrtus communis; but with us myrtle is
the commonperiwiiikle,Viucaminor. The
usefulness of this common plant need not
be referred to: but is it well known that
there Is a white-flowered variety just as
free a grower as is the common one? 'The
use of the two colors together forms a
pleasing contrast. In addition to these
two, there is a double flowered one, hav-
ing purple blossoms. It is not a free
bloomer, which matters but little, in one
way, as the purple flowers do not con-
trast well at all with its greenl eaves.
One of the prettiest in its season is the
herbaceous one, Vinca herbacea. The
flowers are of light blue, and as the
young growth has a somewhat erect
habit, the blossoms are nicely displayed.
In the Summer season it is really a pret-
tier sort than V. minor; but then it is
not evergreen, which is what gives to the
other its chief value.
Lack of Hardiness in Evergreens. —
In a private letter from a correspondent
the question is asked ^vhether it would
be wise to have anything further to do
with evergreens which have been de-
stroyed or badly injured the past Winter,
proving "their lack of hardiness." To
this inquiry my answer is; Most certainly,
go ahead and use such kinds again; but
l)efore going furtlier, let me correct the
correspondent in one thing, and the main
thing, which is that the trees have not
suffered from "lack of hardiness" but
from an inability to stand drought. The
question of cold lias had but very little to
do with the matter. The injured ever-
greens would have suffered equally in
midsummer had they needed water as
badly, and been unable to get it. All well
informed gardeners know that plants
need water in Winter as well as in Sum-
mer. The sun causes great transpiration
in Summer; cold, high, dry winds do the
same in Winter. In this state there had
been but little rainfall in Autumn, no rain
Ilex Crenata Microphylla.
Parsons & Sons Co., Limited, Kissena
Nurseries, Flushing, N. Y., have distrib-
uted a circular setting forth the many
good qualities of their new hedge plant,
Ilex crenata microphylla (.Japanese hol-
ly). That the plant is perfectly hardy is
amply proven by its having been flourish-
lag in the open at the firm's establish-
ment for the past 15 years. We recently
saw a block of young plants in the nurs-
ery, and there is no other evergreen that
has withstood the Winter any better, 1
as welL Its evergreen qualities places
this ilex far in advance of the privet as a
hedge plant, though, of course, it does
not grow nearly so rapidly.
Ilex crenata has a somewhat larger
and thicker leaf than I. c. microphylla
and makes a fine specimen for lawns and
other similar purposes.
Spiraeas are grown very extensively at
the Kissena Nurseries, and thatcharming
variety S. Thunbergi was in full flower
at the time of our visit. Large blocks of
S. Van Houttei and S. flore pleno are also
included in the firm's list of spiraeas.
The magnolias were also a grand sight,
several of the varieties being in their full
Ilex Crenata.
Grown by Parsons & Sons Co., Flushing, N. Y.
nor snow in Winter, and frozen ground,
18 inches deep. The mercury was not at
all low, but the cold winds lasted for
days together. The results were partly
anticipated, but not to the disastrous ex-
tent which the Spring has developed.
It will be seen that it is in no sense a
case of lack of hardiness, and to refuse to
grow again such sorts as have suffered
would be as unreasonable as to refuse to
cultivate again a pot plant which had
died for lack of water.
It is related of the late Anthony
Waterer, the noted horticulturist of Eng-
land, that he would not admit to his
nursery collection any kind of tree which
had once been injured by the cold in Win-
ter. Whether this be true or not, I do not
know, but in any event it is not likely
he would have considered the case under
considei'ation as coming within his rule.
By all means let every one replant such
kinds as have been hurt, trusting that
thirty years, or more, may pass before
such another mishap overtakes us.
In the meantime, if we all keep in mind
what has caused the damage, and when
next Winter approaches mulch many of
our trees and shrub's, we shall be doing
the best we can to prevent a recurrence
of the injury. Joseph Meehan.
beauty,notably M. stellata, M. parviflora,
creamy white, M. Soulangeana and M.
Lenni, a very fine dark pink variety.
Otlier sorts in the block were M. cordata,
yellow; M. Norbertiana, M. couspicua
and M. hypoleuca, which does not flower
till next month and has heavy, flcus-like
foliage. Rhodoilrnilroiis are grown in
large quantities, and .ill are home grafted.
Some nice batches of Retinospora fllifera
aurea and K. obtusa nana were seen, as
also a nice lot of mahouia, or Japanese
barberry, as it is more often called.
Of Japanese maples there are 35 va-
rieties, all of nice salable size, represent-
ed in the plantation. There are also
nice groups of Piuus excelsa, Abies orien-
talis, A. pungens glauca, A. Allcockiana
and a few fine plants of A. inverta
pendula.
Across from the office buildings of the
nursery is an inclosure aiiout 200 feet
square, known to the nurserymen on the
place as "Paradise." This inclosure is
filled with noble specimens of all that is
choice in hardy plant life — acers and rho-
dodendrons in variety, abies, pinus, etc.,
and when the flowering plants are in
bloom and the many varieties of foliage
plants at their best, they must indeed be
a pleasing sight.

good reports from our customers and
not one word of complaint from either
commission men, florists or retail cus-

variety if you wish to compete with
your neighbors. On our place it pro-

Not much is to be said about tli^
cut flower market tliis weels. Eoses and
carnations have been sold at auction to
the street men, at some of the wholesale
establishments; so one can from that
form an idea of just how the market
stands.
I.adlei>' Night.
The second ladles' night of this sea-
son, at the Florists' Club room, on
Wednesday evening last, was very suc-
cessful. The trade was not quite so
largely represented as it might have been ;
but there was a good attendance, and
all had an^enjo.vabletime. The club room
was well decorated with plants and
flowers, and as business was not brisk,
donations of these were sent in by many
growers, and used for prizes. The first
prizes each for bowling and shuffleboard
was one of Kift's fairy vase stands filled
with flowers. There were very appropri-
ate and greatly pleased the recipients.
The program was arranged for the pro-
ceedings to start at 4 p. m., but up to 6
p. m., only six ladies were on hand, so
the afternoon part was a failure.
News Items,

tery, has resigned that position and

Cincinnati.
First Glut of the Season.
The past week will go down In his-
tory as being that of the Hrst real glut of
the season. Carnations came in by the
thousand; roses were not quite so plenti-
ful, but when a glut is on everything
suffers. By hard work we managed to
clean up pretty well, considering. Cloudy
weather with rain and cool niglits came
to our rescue, the cut slackened and at
this writing we are moving along beter,
with prices stiffer. Many really fine car-
nations were sold last week at $5 per
1,000 and less.
The florists in the market are still meet-
ing with good demand for all bedding
stock, and are selling out clean and at
fair prices; although they still insist on
selling geraniums at less than, $1 per
dozen, when they know that the stock
will not be sufficient to go round.
J. T. Conger, of Hartwell, is busy with
funeral work and weddings, as well as
bedding-out, and his trade is improving
so rapidly that it is impossible to grow
enough stock to go round; for this rea-
son he was obliged to give up his market
stand.
The Cincinnati Florists' Society.
Held its annual meeting and
nominated 10 members from which to
elect five directors for the ensuing year.
The subject of a floatandannual;outing
was discussed and voted down so far as
the finances of the'society wereconcerued ;
but this does not say that the florists
will not have an outing and a float also.
Due notice of both will be given later.

state of Trade,
Business in the stores lias been slow
during the last tew days, with stock still
plentiful. All the shops are showing flne
roses, carnations and tulips. There have '
been a few weddings and some funeral
work, but outside of this the cut-flower
business has been slow. The demand tor
seeds, nursery stock and perennials has
been quite lively, and dealers in these
stocks havebeen kept busy. Our weather
has been somewhat changeable, and the
demand to date for bedding plants has
been light; in fact, every year the people
are getting more careful about setting
out tender plants too early. There has
been a tangible demand for pansies; some
very good ones are being offered, and sell
freely at prices a Uttle in advance of former
years.
The Public Parks.
The beds of tulips and hyacinths In
our parks have been a great attraction,
those in the Queen's Park especially, and
both Park Commissioner Chambers and
W. Houston, who has charge of the On-
tario government's portion of the park,
are to be congratulated. These flne exhi-
bitions in the public parks do more to
educate the people into the love for
flowers than anything else I know of, and
thousands of bulbs are now sold here
when but hundreds were sold flve years
ago.
I am sorry to say that I hear the
City Council has decided to tear down
the greenhouses at Reservoir Park; this
will, indeed, be a great pity, for we have
but few really good collections of plants
in the city, and our council will find it is
much easier to destroy than it will be to
replace. In place of taking away, they
should build more, for the educational
value of a collection of plants cannot
be counted in dollars and cents, and
those of us who have watched the devel-
opment of the taste for good flowers
among our people are very sorry to see
our rulers taking a backward step, and
hope that even yet they may reconsider
their decision and let the greenhouses
remain. Thos. Manton.

New York Florists' Club.
The I'es'uliii' montlily meeting of the
ckilj was lu'ltl iu Elk's Hall last Monday
evoiiinji'- Tlic attenjance was good, and
included the presence of three prominent
craftsmen fr(jm Boston and vicinity, viz.,
Messrs. P. Welch, L. Cotter and F. K.
Mathison, who were en route tor Wash-
ing'ton, r>. C, on business connected w'ith
the national ciiarter of the S. A. F.
On the exhibition table were a bunch of
sprays of the hardy ])ink azalea A. ledi-
folium narcissiflora and ijlaiits of five
varieties of Hetlera arborea, the tree ivy,
all exiiibited by J. H. Troy from his nurs-
ery at .\ew Rochelle, N. Y. The award
committee save honorable mention to
botii the ivies and the azalea., deemin;;'
the latter as specially worthy of cultiva-
tion.
Wlien President Sheridan called for re-
ports of special committees, Mr. O'JIara,
as chairman of the Committee on Ways
anil Means, said that his committee had
or;;'anized, and as the secretary, Alex-
ander Wallace, was absent, he would read
the secretar3''s minutes of their last meet-
in*;'. Among other details contained in
the report w"as the offer of a $50 prize
from L,. C. Hafuer and also another of
same .amount from Samuel Thorne, Escj.
On motion the prizes were accepted by
the club.
Mr. Withers reported progress for the
Exhibition Committee, and, on mo-
tion of Mr. O'Mara, the secretary of the
club, Mr. .John Young, was authorized to
mail a schedule of the tortlKoininL; exhi-
bition to the officers of all tloii.-its' clubs
and horticultural societies throughout
the country.
A. H. Langjahr, as chairman of the
Outing Committee, said that he had ob-
taineil estimates on boats, refreshments,
etc., for a proposed trip to Locust Point,
L. I. On motion the committee was
empowered to arrange for tlie outing
upon the lines suggested, and, if possible,
to have the trip occur during the week
commencing ,July 8.
Mr. .John N. May, on behalf of the
Chrysanthemum Society, said that he
had talked with several members regard-
ing the coming show, but as the date
thereof was still tardistant,no promiseof
cooperation liad yet been obtained.
Two nominations for membership were
offered: E. A. Macmillan, Gutteuburg,
N. J., and F. Leutz, ('ity.
A. H. Langjahr moved that a commit-
tee on transportation to Buffalo be ap-
pointed: this motion was carried, and
Messrs. A. H. Langjahr, J. W. Withers.W.
W. Burnham, A. Herrington and S. S.
Butterfield were ajipointed.
Tlie business of the evening being now
ended, President .Slieridan called upon
Mr. L. Cotter to tell what he knew about
New York. Mr. Cotter, in a few words,
told how the magnitude of this city im-
pressed him, and was followed by Mv. P.
Welch, who explained that the New York
Florists' Club was the guiding star for
the trade of tlie whole country, and any-
thing done by it was accepted as the
proper thing. Mr. Mathison then told
what a nice place New York was to stoj)
over at; it tlid him good to see such a
large gathering, he said, and the efforts
put forth by this club last Summer, when
entertaining the S. A. F. O. H., proved
tluit the New York Florists' Club leads
them all, even Chicago.
Samuel Heushaw related a few inci-
dents that occurred during his recent
trip to the tropics, and also gave descrip-
tions of the flora of the different places
visited.
Mr. James Dean, called on, told how the
few years since he retired from business
had been the hardest to him since he was
a boy, just because he had had nothing
to do. He strongly advised against put-
ting the coat on and living at ease.
The House Committee served refresh-
ments, and songs were renilered by
Messrs. W. .J. Stewart and Wm. I'lumb,
after which a vote of thanks was ten-
dered the visitors from Boston and the
meeting adjourned.

Building, Pan-American Exposition.
The Chartered S. A. F. 0. H.
Tuesday, May 14, will go down as an
epoch-making date in the annals of
American floriculture and horticulture,
when under the shadow, so to speak, of
the Nation's Capitol, the small but faith-
ful body of men at much personal incon-
venience and self-sacrifice, demonstrated
their fealty to our common cause, by jour-
neying to Washington and there bringing
into existence the new Society of American
Florists and Ornamental Horticulturists,
which now stands unique among similar
organizations in the enjoyment of a char-
ter fromthegreat American Government.
Of the value of this instrument to the
society, of the immense possibilities the
possession of it opens up — possibilities
pregnant with inestimable benefits to
those engaged in this and kindred Indus"
tries — we can have but a taint conception
now; but that such will very materially
aid, strengthen and develop the ever-
growing business of the florist, there is
not the shadow of a doubt.
The gentlemen who perceived the ad-
vantages to accrue from a national char-
ter, who planned and labored long and
faithfully to secure it, also foresaw that
in order for these advantages to be as
far-reaching and comprehensive as possi-
ble, a federation of some sort, of all the
now existing societies working along
lines similar to those pursued by the na-
tional society , was a necessity, and they
have made ample provision for such a
federation being effected. By the provi-
sions of the constitution and by-laws the
chartered national society offers to enroll
kindred national or state organizations,
desirous of such enrollment, as "co-oper-
ative societies;" to each of these having
a membership of 50 or more, 25 of whom
are members in good standing of the S.
A. F. O. H., is granted the privilege of
electing one delegate annually to serve
one year as a member of the Executive
Board of the national society, with
rights and privileges equal to those en-
joyed by its own executive members; the
national society desires to register all
new plants raised by the members of such
co-operative societies; to bear the ex-
pense of having adjusted all matters
affecting these societies of a legislative,
botanical, pathological, or entomological
nature; the national society offers to
publish with its own yearly report, such
annual reports of these co-operative so-
cieties as may be furnished by their secre-
taries, to the S. A. F. O. H.; it offers to
assist the co-operative societies in the
holding of floral exhibitions, by dona-
tions of money for specific purposes, as
well as by special medals and certificates.
Above all it seeks not to exercise any do-
minion over these co-operative societies,
each one of which, while being partici-
pants as set forth above, can retain its
autonomy and right to self-government.
Could anything be more liberal? and
is not a society that thus imposes upon
itself additional outlay and labor, looking
to the general betterment of the craft, en-
titled to the support of every man and
woman engaged in the florist's business
in America?
And who among us but feels proud
that our industry should be thus recog-
nized by the United States Government;
and is thankful to the indefatigable,
earnest, unselfish worker, ex-President
S. A. F., Wm. E. Smith, of Washington,
whose labors made that recognition pos-
sible? With the prestige thus attained,
with the weight and influence which the
charter carries with it, the S. A. F. O. H.
will be better able to surmount obstacles
hitherto all but insuperable, to ac-
complish achievements heretofore impos-
sible of accomplishment, and that too,
not for the benefit of any part of the
trade, but for that of every branch of the
industry the society represents. But the
society's strength can be made more effec-
tive, its efforts more telling, when backed
by the support and encouragement of
those whose rights it shall strive for,
whose problems it shall becalled upon to
solve — and that means every grower of
plants and flowers in the United States.
Let the " co-operative societies" now
discuss calmly and judiciously the posi-
tion which they shall take in the matter,
the assistance they shall render in the
materialization of a condition that can
but make for the best welfare, not only
of their individual members, but through
them, of the craft in general.
A federation of annual fees and dues,
seems to us a topic 'worthy of the most
earnest consideration by all. Can this
not be brought about?
New Epoch of Floriculture.
"The King is dead. Long live the
King." The Society of American Florists
and Ornamental Horticulturists is dead
as under its old organization — but is
born again as under its National Charter,
a privilege and a franchise hitherto so
jealously guarded by Congress, that the
societies possessing these can be num-
bered on the fingers of one hand, and the
wise and statesmanlike new constitution,
adopted at Washington this week, bids
fair to become a power in the land, far
transcending in scope, importance and all
the features which, combined, create a
great and beneficial Institution, than
could possibly havebeenconeeived by the
incorporators of the old society— all
honor to them.
Particulars of the reorganization, con-
stitution and by-laws are given in another
column. As a National Society, working
under a broad and liberal charter, and
setting forth from its inception to ac-
complish work which must reflect a bene-
fit upon every one of the craft, does it not
then behoove each and every member,
but more especially the grower, to pledge
himself to the new National Society from
its inception ?
From a long experience with, and per-
sonal knowledge of the character of the
gentlemen who have in the past been
leaders of the old society, we frankly
and candidly make the statement that
they are as broadminded as is the new
charter, quick to recognize merit in any
new or old member, who cares to exer-
cise his prerogatives and talent in a direc-
tion compelling recognition; while the
present individual members, or rather
those of us who will continue member-
ship in the new-born society (and we all
intend so to do), are free from bias or
pledge, or a spirit of political following,
and quite ready to be guided where the
best men lead. Hence, it follows, that
ambition, properly directed, and with
sufficient tact and knowledge to make it
felt, has ample opportunity to cover its
possessor with honor.
The Florists' Exchange wants every
member of the trade who is ambitious to
do good unto others, as well as ambi-
tious to reap the benefits to be derived
from a membership in the new society, to
join that society before its annual meet-
ing, and wishing to do all in its power
to assist in building up a great and noble
organization, calls for the enrollment
from among its readers by August 1,
next, of 100 new members forthe Society.
Who will be the first among our sub-
scribers, to join the Roll of Honor? Re-
member, we are calling for new blood,
men who' have never been members of the
old society. Initiation fee, $5; annual
dues thereafter, $3. The fees can be paid
to.the secretary at any time before Au-
gust 1, but the sooner the better. This
act will make you a member of the most
powerful trade society in this country.
Send in your name now. Force of ex-
ample is contagious, and with a fair and
immediate start we do not doubt but
that through The Florists' Exchange
it will be easily possible to obtain the 100
names we desired.

Reflections on Current Topics.
The present agitation for the establish-
ment of a National Florist Employees
Association, which is being encouraged
and exploited by a minority of the trade
press, seems to be, hke all progressive
movements, the outcome of necessity.
Hitherto most employers have been slow
to recognize the advantage that is sure
to accrue from encouragement in the way
of intellectual and flnancial betterment
of those who serve them. However, the
time has not yet arrived, in my opinion,
when employees can make any real pro-
gress toward individual assistance by the
formation of a national organization of
the nature of that in contemplation.
While, of course, there are many intelli-
gent men in the position of employees,
the vast majority are yet far too ineffi-
cient in the work in "which they are em-
ployed for any mutual advantage to re-
sult to employer and employed, by an
association of this kind. The greatest
benefit in the meantime will follow on an
effort at individual reform, advice which
is, perhaps, as pertinent to the case of
the master, as it is to the man.
There seems no good reason why em-
ployees should feel that they are debarred
from being participants in the good that
comes from the educational and social in-
stitutions already existing in the form of
Florists' Clubs, and national floricultural
bodies; indeed, they are not, as it is
available to them, and there does not ap-
pear to be any deterrent to a full and free
discussion of the employees' interests in,
or by these organized associations, co-
equal with the interests of employers
themselves. In fact, there is a very great
necessity of the employees' side receiving
the greater consideration, so much de-
pending upon the ability and completed
work of the employed.
I believe it would pay employers to be
at the expense of the annual dues for
membership of every worthy employee
working in an establishment, in both the
local club and one or more of the na-
tional organizations, simply for the edu-
cational help that these bodies would
afford by attendance at the meetings.
While sociability is all right in its place,
it can be obtained outside of the institu-
tions mentioned if desired; but ever so
much sociability supplied and indulged
in, can never take the place of a higher
intelligence, view It from whatever point
we may.
The employee, as a general thing, has
up to this time, been allowed to flounder
In his own benighted state, without any
helping hand from those who are profit-
ing by his labor, and to the disadvantage
of both. That the time has arrived for a
change of this unfortunate and unneces-
sary condition the prevailing agitation
manifests. The nearer employer and em-
ployee can get together on every matter
of interest to both, the greater will be the
ultimate mutual good.
An educational institution, like a pub-
lic greenhouse establishment, is a place
where average intelligence regarding the
work in hand would be looked for and
should exist; yet how often is it there
found ? On a recent trip to such a place
I heard a lady inquire of an employee the
name of a specimen palm — Areea lutes-
cens; "Oh, that is a Ponderosa erecta,"
replied the "help," with a self-confident
air of having imparted knowledge of im-
mense value regarding plant nomencla-
ture; and the lady, in possession of this,
looked wise and enlightened her neighbor
accordingly.
As I have said, employees should begin
self-reform, and when, through the conse-
quent improvement, v\'hich will be assist-
ed by employers themselves taking an in-
terest in their help, and placing them in a
position for the attainment of that which
must lead to self-betterment, the intelli-
gent employee will be the rule, rather
than the exception, then, and not till
then, is the time to think of national or-
ganization ; at least, these are the senti-
ments of Job.
The decision of the judges at the Bronx
Park (N. Y.) Show, commented upon in
our last week's number, has caused con-
siderable discussion among the craft, lo-
cally and elsewhere, all of whom are
anxiously waiting for the appearance of
the judges' explanation. This, however,
has not yet been forwarded to us. Of
course it will materialize sometime either
here or elsewhere, for the judges' duty to
the horticultural world in this particular
connection is patent enough to them, no
doubt; at least, it is to be hoped so.

OBITUARY.
Herman Schiller.
Herman Schiller, one of the old florists
of Chicago, died Sunday, May 12, at
10.30 'a. m., at his residence, 82 South
LeaTitt Street. The deceased for 17
years past has been a victim of locomo-
tor ataxia and, at times, a great suf-
ferer, although with an indomitable will
he has performed work that might well
tax a healthy person. During the past
four months, however, he had failed
greatly, yet with all his intense suffering,
he was really laid-iip but some 16 days
when death ended his troubles. Deceased
was born in Pomerania, Pru.ssia, Novem-
ber 2, 1851, hence was comparatively a
young man. He cameto Chicago in 1881,
and purchased F. Stielow's half interest
in the firm of Stielow & Koskis, of Niles
Center, a business that had been started
10 years previously. Mr. Schiller later
became sole owner having, in the mean-
time, owing to his affliction, started a
retail establishment in West Madison
Street, which he has since successfully
run, and which business will now be con-
tinued by his family, a son and daughter
having of late years helped the father in
the store, with George .\smus as
manager. The Niles Center greenhouses
were sold two or three years ago to
John lirod, whose son now manages the
same. The deceased leaves a widow, two
boys and three girls, the eldest 22 and
youngest 13 years.
Mr. Schiller was one of the original
stockholders of the .\merican Florist Co.,
and, but for his affliction, would have
been a prominent factor in the florist
business, his character being above re-
proach and his ability unquestioned.
Funeral services took place on Tuesday
May 1-i, the body being taken to Niles
Center for interiiient. Many old florist
friends were present and beautiful floral
emblems surrounded the casket. Ess.
T. G. Yeomans.
"Among recent ileaths is that of T. G.
Yeomans, of Walworth, N. Y. To the
younger generation of nurserymen his
name was unknown, but to the older
ones, it was familiar. One of his special-
ties was the raising of hedge plants, in
■which, and other branches, he was very
successful. Of late years he had made
stock raising more of a feature than that
of the nursery business.

gardener, and proprietor of the Japanese
Gardens, at Mt. Tabor, died at his late
residence on Tuesday May 2, after four
weeks of illness. Mr. Wiemura came to
this country about 15 years ago; he
(luickly mastered the English language
and tlie ways of the country, and he was
well thought of among his brother flo-
rists of this city. G. S.

Editor florist's Exchange:
^I very much regret not being present
when i'our correspondent called here, as
it would have prevented his carrying
away a wrong impression, and the doing
of an injustice to the twci leading new
carnations of the year. A word of expla-
nation may set this right.
;;A small number of plants of these two
varieties werekindly forwarded to me for
test, respectively by Messrs. I)ailled<iu/e
Bi'os., and C. W. Ward. Tlicy were plant-
ed in a housewithothervarietiesin (luan-
tity. The whole house has been in bad
shape throughout the season. None of
the older varieties in the house has done
anywhere near as well as it should, and
I know that neither of the varieties in
question has produced, either in (juan-
tity or quality, anything approadiing
what it would have produced under
favorable conditions. Both varieties
have shown remarkable health of growth
and vigor of constitution under tlie cir-
cumstances, and must not be condemned
by reason of our failure with the entire
house in which they are planted. These
facts were, unfortunately, not
known to Mr. Sanders at the time.

Jttarket News.
A slight improvement in cut flower
lines over the conditions prevailing one
week ago, has been experienced. The
weather has been more favorable for
business; the flowers that are coming-
in are of better iiuality, and, on the
whole, there is a better tone to tlie mar-
ket all round.
Southern lilac has enjoyed a fair sea-
son, but will now have to compete with
the local product, which has already be-
gun to arrive, and within a day or two
will no doubt be available in unlimited
quantity. The sprays at present are real-
izing 15c. per bunch.
Sweet peas of very fine quality are on
the market, and there is a favorable de-
mand for them, with prices ruling some-
what better than those last quote<l.
Double white stocks are also in abund-
ance and bring 10c. per bunch. In nar-
cissus, Princeps and Horsfleldii are the
finest arriving; N. poetieus is plentiful
and can be had at 25c. per 100. Mignon-
ette, in large supply, is to be had cheap;
forget-me-not and pansies are also plenti-
ful and bring from 2c. to 5c. per bunch,
according to quality. There is still a fair
quantity of lilies around, and 3c. and 4c.
are the ruling figures for these. Occa-
sionally a few extra fine ones bring a cent
or two higher. On the other hand, in-
ferior flowers go at 2c. each. Cattleyas
are selling better than last week. No. 1
blooms realizing 40c. and the smaller ones
25c.
Gladiolus are coming in, though not
yet numerous; about 50c. per dozen is
what they bring. Lily of the valley aver-
ages $2 per 100, and the demand is
about equal to the supply.
Owing to the generous supplies of so
many other flowers, short-stemmed roses
are bringing very low figures; 50c. a hun-
dred being a common price. The better
grades are, however, doing fairly well.
American Beauty are clearing out much
better than they were and prices are hold-
ing quite steady, with 20c. as the top
figure. Bride and Bridesmaid of special
grade bring Oc, and, when extra choice,
Sc. is reached. There is a limited supply
of very fine Liberty for which 2(Jc. is oli-
taine<l; also somechoice Kaiserin Augus-
ta Victoria, which realize 10c. Tliis
stock is of extra grade, and the prices
named do not convey the ruling values of
the varieties mentioned.
Carnations are not moving so well as
they did at the beginning of the week.
The quantities of fancy flowers coming in
debar the possibilities of high prices, still
quite some improvement in their sales
over last week is noticeable. Ordinary
blooms bring from 75c. to SI. 50; good
William Scott being in fair demand.
Smila.K, asparagus and adiantum con-
tinue in supply equal to the demand, and
no change in values is noted.
Jotting*.
The partnership hitherto esisting
between Charles Millang and George Salt-
ford, cut flower commission dealers, was
dissolved on the 15th inst., by mutual
consent. Both gentlemen will continue
business at the same store, 50 West 20th
.Street, Mr. .Saltford making a specialty
of, and handling only violets, while Air.
Millang will handle a full line of all sea-
soiuible flowers,
J. F. Hughes, retailer, at No. 117 West
125th Street, had his house looted b.v
burglars sometime between the hours of
11 a. m. and 3 p. m., on Tuesday. The
thieves took everything of value that
was movable from the apartments.
A. Cleary, manager of the plant and
seed division in A. I. Namm'sdepartment
store, Brooklyn, reports heavy sales of
trees, shrubs and hardy roses. The sales
of prepared plant food and grass seed
mixtures have also been very extensive.
Adams A: Co., dry goods merchant s,20th
Street and Sixth Avenue, have added a
plant department to their store, and are
contemplating erecting greenhouses on
the roof of the building. L. Schunitz,
who has the plant and bulb privileges at
the Siegel-Cooper store, reports a very
good business along all lines of stock
handled. Fern balls have been especially
good sellers.
The auction rooms have been thronged
this week and stock along all linesotfered
hassold very satisfactory.
Those who went to Washington, I). C,
in the interests of the S. A. F. O. H. from
this citv were, Patrick O'Mara, James
Dean.John N. May, J. G.Esler,C.W. Ward
and Alex. Wallace. The Boston contin-
gent who spent Monday evening at the
Florists' Club meeting, also went on the
same train, leaving this city at midnight,
Monday. These gentlemen were F. R.
Mathison, Lawrence Cotter, W. J. Stew-
art and P. Welch.
President Thielmann, of the New York
Florists' Bowling Club, announces that
a meeting of all the members will be held
at the alleys, on Monday evening, the
27th inst, at 8 o'clock. Important busi-
ness relating to the coming convention
tournament and other matters will be
transacted, and it is absolutely necessary
that ever.v member be present.

(13C) Cold Pramie Covers. — Thepre-
pareil cloth used for cold fram ^ in place
of glass can be obtained fr > u Peter
Henderson & Co., Cortlandt Str t, New
York. The cloth comes in three grades
and that of medium quality can be rec-
ommended.
(187) Oil as Fuel.— Desiring to sub-
stitute oil for coal for heating, kindly in-
form me as to what change is necessary
in a tubular boiler to burn the oil. — J. C.
Co.
^Xo change will be necessaryin the set-
ting of tlie boiler itself, and the other
arrangements will depend upon the form
of burner used. Most of them have a
pipe run to the dome of the boiler, so
that steam can be used to vaporize the
oil.— L. R. Taft.
(138) Covering Single Graves. —
We would not advise the use of herba-
ceous plants for planting on graves.
There is not enough ground space to
allow of sufficient varieties being planted
to insure a succession of flowers all
through the season, and we think their
use for graves would be unsatisfactory.
— W. R. B.
(139) Perennials. — It is not yet too
late to plant the perennials advertised in
Florists' Exchange. As they are pot
grown, tbey have practically been mak-
ing the same progress in the pots that
they would have made outdoors had
they been so planted, therefore, with
ordinary care, they may be set out and
will give entire satisfaction. — W. R. B.
(140) Carnations. — In the "Question
Box" of April 20 E. A. L. claims to cut
7.S0 salable flowers a week from 1,000
caiMKit ion plants. We have about 4,000
phnits. Hill and Scott principally, and
cut, February, 4,S05, March, 4,700,
April, 6,259; considerably less than E.
A. L. We have never been able to cut as
many flowers as any of your correspond-
ents "say they do, and 1 would like to
know the reason why. We have always
had trouble with the plants dying out,
from about February on, and we inva-
riably fall liehind in our cut in February
and March. Is there anything lacking in
our soil that causes it?
We have at our disposal for fertilizers
cow manure, wood ashes and lime. Can
we use them all together "with good re-
sults, or would it be best to use them
separately? Are tobacco stems consid-
ered a good manure? Our soil is a stiff
loam, with a clay subsoil underlaid with
limestone, naturally well drained, and
we grow on solid beds. We have never
made any effort to apply liquid manure
systematically, although we have done
so to some extent at random, but we
have used pure ground bone, tankage
and pulverized sheep, separately or to-
gether, without any apparent difference
in the result. We apply a top-dressing of
either of the above about once a month,
beginning after Christmas. Should we
begin sooner? The quality of our flowers
is all right; they always rank in the XX
or XXX column when we send to a com-
mission man, and always command the
highest market price, but the quantity is
lacking. What is a good distance to set
out carnations? I think one of our
greatest faults is close planting. We
plant about 11 x 8 inches, and as our
plants are usually good and strong when
we lift them in the Fall, it crowds them
pretty well from the jump. — D. H. M.
— The inquirerisevidently insome doubt
as to the number of flowers reported as
cut by other growers who have given in
their ligures. With the two varieties he
grows, he should cut, during the season,
about 20 or 25 blooms to the plant, and
the figures given for the months of Feb-
ruary, March and April would indicate
that he was not cutting anywhere near
this number. From the descriptions of
the soil and the fertilizing material at
hand, we are confident that the trouble
is not in the soil, but comes possibly from
overfeeding, combined with too close
planting. Plants in solid beds should
improve from February on to the middle
of June, instead of commencing to die
out in February . In preparing the soil
for the beds, mix one-fifth of the cow
dung and a sprinkling of lime with the
soil when composting, and when the beds
are being filled, mix in a small portion of
the wood ashes; tobacco stems are of no
good for this purpose. As to after feed-
ing, this only can be regulated according
to the growth of the plants, and no hard-
and-fast rule can be laid down. With
snch soil as above mentioned a light
mulch of sheep manure applied in Decem-
ber would be all that is necessary until
the middle of .lanuary, then weak liquid
cow manure, given once a week, would
carry the plants through the season.
When they have made a good growth in
the field, they should have more than b
inches in the rows on the beds; 10 to 11
inches will be scant enough, and if they
are not crowded and over-feeding is
avoided, there should be no complaint
about plants beginning to die out in
February.
feet wide and 60 feet long, except "A, "
which is 100 feet in length, with the boiler
house at the southwest corner of "D."
About 1,800 square feet of radiation will
be required for the four houses, but it
will be advisable to use a boiler rated
for 2,400 feet. The main flow and return
pipes should leave the boiler as 4-iuch,
but can be reduced to 3-inch after the
second house has been connected. For
houses "C" and "D," three 2-inch flows
and nine 2-inch returns will be needed ;
"B" will require three flows and six
returns, while three flows and seven re-
turns will be desirable in "A." — L. R.
Taft.
(142) I have a house of the following
dimensions: 95 feet long, 18 feet wide,
Views of "VV. H, Elliott's (Brighton, Mass.J New Addition to Asparagus House.
I See page 547.]
(141) Heating.— I inclose you a
d' awiug'of a range of houses to be heated
with hot water. " E " is the boiler house,
which is 7 feet below the ground. The
temperature occasionally goes to 15 de-
grees below zero. The walls are 3V2 feet
high, 10 feet atcenter. "A"aud" B "have
glass in the south end to within 8 feet
of the ground. The balance has none.
Houses "A" and " B " are for carnations.
The others will be heated about 1 0 degrees
higher. The main flow and return pipes
will be run along the south end of the
houses under the ground. Of what size
should they be ? How many 2-inch flow
and return pipes will each house require?
The expansion tank will be about 6 feet
above the ground. How large a boiler
will I require? — R. M. H.
— The plan shows four houses, each 18
11 feet 6 inches to ridge, 18 inches of
glass on south side; 60 feet to the east
end is three-quarter span, 35 feet to the
west is even span; 4-foot walls, match-
boarded, double, with a 3-inch vacuum
between the boards for air space; shel-
tered on north and west by my dwelling
house, situated about 12 feet distant.
Glass in east end and shed on west end.
The house is piped as follows: BoUer 4
feet below the level of the greenhouse; a
4-inch flow leads from boiler to a 3%-
inch, which is then connected, about 6
feet from the boiler, with two 2-ihch over-
head flows that run to east end, enter on
returns; at north side, three 2-inch and
three li/o-inch returns; south side, enters
two 2 inch returns. The main flow pipe
enters greenhouse proper at 70 feet from
east, leaving 25 feet to west, which has
one 2-inch flow with returns under
benches of 4Vo-inch pipes, while the re-
turns on the east side are on the sides of
the benches. I should like to be able to
maintain a night temperature in zero
weather of 50 degrees. Sometimes we
have it 8 or 10 degrees below. My stock
consists of carnations and miscellaneous
beilding plants and bulbs.
Can you suggest an arrangement of the
piping so as to get a higher temperattn-e?
At present I cannot get more than 44 de
grees and even less in extreme cold
weather. — Man.
— If the arrangement is understood,
there are two 2-inch flows and five 2-inch
and three IVs-inch returns at one end of
the house, and one 2-inch flow and four
li/o-iuch returns in the other. If this is
the case, it is evident that the size of the
flow pipes and the number of the returns
are too small. At the east end of the
house one 3-inch or two 2VL'-iuch flow
pipes should be used, and the 2-iuch pipes
that are now being used as flow pipes
should be added to the returns on the
south side. For the west end of the
house one 2y2-inch flow and teu 2-iuch
returns will be desirable.— L. R. Taft.
(143) I am goiug!to build an even-span
greenhouse,20 by 50 teet,with glass on one
end. I would like to partition off 20 feet
of one end and have it warmer than the
balance of the house. Which end would
be better for the warm one? How many
runs of pipe, and how distributed, will be
re(iuired to give necessary temperature?
I intend to use the larger part of the,
house for carnations. Outside tempera-
ture at times reaches 20 degrees below
zero. What length of rafter will give
most desirable pitch to roof ? How many
feet of glass will be required for house?
— H. L. R.
— The warmer room should be at the
end nearest the boiler. To heat the house
there should be two 2V2-inch flow pipes
an(l ten 2-inch returns at the cool end,
with two or more additional returns at;
the other end, according to the tempera-
ture desired. The rafters should be about
12 feet long. There will be about 1,300
s(iuarefeet of glass in the house, but in
ordering it will be well to make the
amount 1,500 to allow for breakage— L.
R. Taft.
( 144 ) What kind of pipe,wrought orcast
iron, is the better for hot-water heating?
Also which size would you recommend?
— Samuel Lynes.
— Wrought iron pipe is preferable to
cast iron, as the joints are easier to make
and are less likely to leak. The size of
the pipe depends to some extent upon the
length of the houses. While IVa-inch pipe
may be used for the returns in houses
less than 50 feet in length, it will be bet-
ter to use 2-inch pipe when the runs are
50 to 150 feet long, while abovethe latter
length 21/0-inch pipe will be desirable for
the returns. The size of the flow pipes
will vary with the number and length of
the return pipes that they supply. When
the amount of radiation is 200 feet or
less, ft 2-inch flow will generally supply
it, while a 2V2-inch flow will answer for
400 siiuare feet and a 3-inch flow for 600
to 800 square feet of radiation, including
the amount in the flow pipe itself. The
<luestion still remains whether it will be
better to use one large pipe for the flow
or two or more small ones, but as a rule
it is best to use the larger sizes in the
longer houses — L. R. Taft.
( 145 ) I intend building six rose houses*
and would like some advice as to how to
build. I want the houses to be about
22 feet wide and 150 feet long, three-
(juarter span. Should each house be
built for itself, or would it be just as
well to connect all the houses and have
them open? It seems to me that one
house would shade the other, and there
would be more danger of mildew. How
much piping will each house require,
using 2-inch wrought iron flows and IV2
or 1 inch returns?— E. F. H.
— There is, of course, some loss by the
shading of one house by the other, but
the economy of space and in heating and
building will be greatest in connected
houses, and most growers prefer to build
that way. The question does not state
whether hot waterorsteam isto be used,
and as the sizes of pipes mentioned are
rather small for hot water and large for
steam, the matter is made no plainer.
For hot wateruse twelve 21/2-inch pipes.of
which either three or four may be flows,
or use four 21/2-inch flows and ten 2-inch
returns in each house, unless there is
glass in the side walls, when there should
be an additional 2-inch return for each
two feet of glass. To heat with steam

BRIEFS FOR BUSY FLORISTS.
Hydrangeas.— The young plants that
have already been rooted, to furnish next
year's supply, must be potted along as
required, as it is not good for them to
get pot-bound while in a small state,
which condition causes them to stop
growing. If instead of growing them in
pots all Summer it is intended to plant
them out, they may be planted at any
time now. They do just as well when
planted out as when kept in pots, besides
entailing much less care through the
Summer time by the former treatment.
Old plants that are to be kept over
another year had better be repotted and
stood outdoors, after cutting them back.
Crimson Rambler Roseb.— To insured
good stock of these for next Winter's
forcing procure young plants now and
plant them out in a well enriched place.
Given good liberal treatment through
the Summer they will make surprisingl.v
heavy growth, and will be far better than
can be produced by keeping the plants in
pots.
Begonia Gloirede Lorraine.— This is
a plant of which we also want plenty of
stock for next Winter, and the cuttings
should be rooted by this time. In grow-
ing them through the hot months shade
is necessary, though it must not be put
on dense enough to darken the house.
Another chief requisite is plenty of venti-
lation at all times. Perfect drainage
must be given the pots, and a dry, rather
than a humid atmosphere maintained,
avoiding particularly having the house
damp during the night. Over-watering
is to be guarded against with this bego-
nia. Keep the plants, if anything, on the
dry side, and when any syringing is nec-
essary, let it be done in the early pai-t of
the day, so that there will be no chance
of the foliage remaining wet over night.
Marguerites.— Cuttings of these should
be taken now, and rooted. If to be
flowered on benches the plants may be
set outdoors when large enough, and
then planted in the benches about the
first of September. If, however, it is in-
tended to grow them as pot plants, it
will be found most advisable to keep
them in pots right through the season,
changing then into larger sized pots when-
ever necessary.
A Famous Asparagus Rangfe.
The illustration on page .546 shows
a part of the new addition which W. H.
Elliott has just added to his extensive
asparagus houses at Brighton, Mass.
This house is now 200 feet long and 110
feet wide, containing about 000,000 cubic
feet. It is built on a side hill, anci from
the lowest point on the front to the
highest point at the back is ."lO feet in
height. This immense structure is sup-
ported by wrought iron pipe, the main
supports being IVi-inchand 114-incli pipe,
branching into "/i-lnch at the purlins.
The woodwork is cypress throughout,
and the house is glazed with Ifi x 24
glass. There are Ki betls in this house,
each about 4 feet wide, with 2-foot walks
running between. There are also 2-incli
plank walks overhead, running the whole
length of the house, every 7 feet from the
ground up; these walks help to strengthen
the structure, as well as being necessary
in training the vines. The uppermost
planks are also used for growing chrys-
antlicniunis and Asparagus Sprengeri,
the latter bring grown in long, shallow
boxes, containing 21/0 inchesof soil; these
boxes are 2 feet apart, just allowing
enough light to reach the asparagus un-
derneath, whileat the same time shading
it and keeping the house cool and moist
at the top, thus acting as a preventive of
red spider, which is one of the most de-
structive pests encountered in the grow-
ing of asparagus. The vines are trained
on linen thread, attached to wij'es made
fast to an iron trellis, about 2 feet above
the ground, 8 inches apart, and at the
top an equal cli.stancf. in order that the
strings may be as nearly straight as pos-
sible. This house is heated by steam, one
6-inch main supplying the radiating pipes,
which are distributed overhead through-
out the house. In all, there are 23,000
feet feet of pipe used in trellises, supports
and heating the house.
Pan-American Views.
The Park Bridge.
The bridge which spans the park lake
at its narrowest point, as seen in the
illustration, divides the larger sheet of
water, known as " Gala Water, " from
"North Bay." As you enter the jjark
through the grand boulevard, known as
Chapln Parkway, you soon reach the Al-
bright Art Gallery, a marble palace
erected at the cost of $500,000. It is
splendidly situated on an eminence
at the west or left of the road. To
the right or east, on a bluff overlook-
ing the lake, is the new casino or boat-
house, a splendid and ornamental struc-
ture. The main road here has a gradual
descent till it reaches the bridge. On the
north end of the bridge the road again
rises till you arrive, at a distance of
about 600 feet, at the principal entrance
of the Pan-American Exposition grounds,
or that portion which has been acquired
for exposition purposes.
Tulip and Other Bulb Dis-
plays at the Pan-American.
Peter Henderson & Co.'s display, made
under the direct supervision of .Julius
Heinrich.met with conditions obstinately
unfortunate. The matter wasilidy under-
taken and plans supposeilly linislied and
settled on seasonably last Eall. A change
in location of a good-sized building de-
manded positive use of the space first
occupied, and these conditions first com-
ing into existence in December, and too
late for the display (then advertised in
the new catalogues) to be withdrawn, a
removal of the bulbs was made late in
December under most discouraging mid-
winter conditions. A later change of
grades about the beds led to standing-
water and ice, with the result of utter
decay of many of the bulbs. The ground
occupied, on the inner bank of the
•'canal" and adjoining the Horticultural
Building, is prettily located, but out of
the line of popular traffic. The leading-
feature entered into in bulbs included a rec-
tangular space 50 by 80 feet. The plan

rounded in -turn with four round solid
color clumps of tulips in various sorts,
with a pansy fiUing-in all around; a bit
too complicated of .style.
Closely surroundingthe Women's Build-
ing, the F. R. Piei-Kon Co., of Tarrytown,
N. Y., made what was to us the most
majestic display of tulips on record. The
effect is so entrancing, in the two larger
beds especially, that one inclines to en-
tirely condone a desire to criticise the
color arrangement and selection of kinds
in their growing heights. Six beds alto-
gether are in this display. Three are cir-
cular in form and nearly or iiuite 30
feet in diameter, one arc-shaped in sur-
face measure twice as large. Two, the
largest, cut triangular shaped, so to
speak, with the ends reduced and the
inner part cut away to arc-shaped, one
measuring 40 feet, another 50 on the
shorter square sides. Each of these beds
required thousands of bulbs. The blooms
came into nice form; period of growth and
recent favoring weather assisted the for-
mation of perfect blooms which were the
apparent result of bulbs of uniform good

The first bridge over this beautiful

structure illustrated. Its cost was $50,-
000, and, like the casino anil boat-house
and all permanent improvements in that
portion of the park used by the I'an-
American Exposition, it has been built
by the city of Buffalo.
The bridge is built of white granite
and is in the form of three arches, each
representing one of the Americas. The
keystone of each arch is covered with a
characteristic Indian head, males and
females being represented. The arches
are surmounted by a, balustrade of turned
granite balusters and heavy granite cop-
ing. Over the central arch are foui- i)edes-
tals — one at each corner — upon which it
is proposed to place bronze urns or lamps.
On the land abutments are long pedestals
suitable tor handsome groups of statuary.

the total length of the bridge is 138

30 feet across, planteil with hyacinths in
segment-shaped sections and of various
colors. Kadiating from a center of the
same, diverging bands of single red Due
Von Thol tulips divided the sections of
the hyacinths. White I{oman hyacinths
were interiningle<l rather freely with the
others. A border, six feet wide, of early
yellow tulips, completed the circular
planting, which was further flanked to
the ends of the oblong space by white
Roman hyacinths. A large number of
bulbs was here employed. To o\ir mind
it was a design of merit, well-nigh t;ndt-
less as relates to arrangements of colors
and blooming tone of tlie .stock jised.aiid
the unton-ard conditionsthat practic-illy
sjioiled the design are most regrettable.
The Roman hyacinths, usually uncertain
of effect (Uit-of-doors, came out almost
best of all. Some daffodils in ailjoining
beds were almost c-onipletely rotted.

bays of good size about the plats that
contained the larger beds enhanced the
effect.

this was a gem. Tbis firm has also a
number of beds of late tulips not yet iu
bloom.
Henry F. Michell, Philadelphia.had three
10-foot circular beds, one of hyacinths;
one of single tulips, all colors, mixed; one
of late tulips, not yet in bloom.
James Vick's Sons, Rochester, N. Y.,
an oblong bed 45 x 8 feet, showed a
growth of tulips quite uniform of bloom,
in three colors, yellow in center part,
next a cup-shaped red, purple tinged
toward base of petals, white outside; to
our mind, wrongly arranged in color
scheme. A bed of La Reine tulips was
too closely planted for good effect.
O. W. Clark & Son, Buffalo, N. Y.,have
two beds of late tulips, not yet in flower.
Bulb plantings by the Exposition Com-
pany, of liberal extent, mostly single tu-
lips, are in good arrangement as a rule,
but in some cases weak in color effect,
while others in beds that surround trees
show poorly. A tulip bod, ()\'al in shape,
in dimension 60 feet long by li.ilf as wide,
adjoining the Service liuilding, is worthy
of note, being well arranged with a pur-
plish variety set in center, followed by
yellow, then white, in formal but irregu-
lar outlines, and with a broad finish of a
good red color.
To our surprise, no bulb displaysby any
Holland firms were in evidence.
A matter to us of extreme short-sight-
edness on the part of the exhibitors is the
noticed lack of labeling the names of va-
rieties of the bulbs, and this was almost
general. The list of standard and reliable
varieties is not extended, and in their
own interests the exhibitor dealers owe
it to themselves to help educate the pub-
lic, and this could so easily have been
done. This condition is truly a reflection
on methods. Vidi.

The illustrations here shown are
from photi.giaplis taken May U. The
beds were taken at their l)est, and all are
the exhibit of F. R. Pierson Co.. of Tarry-
town, who used 42,000 tulips in six beds.
The largest contained 13,000 bulbs, the
next 10,000, and the remainder in the
other four. In the whole 42,000 there
was scarcely a Indb but what was true
to name, and they must have bfien of the
highest quality, for the flowers were uni-
formly flue. They were a revelation to
all who saw them and, as a man ex-
pressed it, " It was the greatest display
of tulips ever seen outside of Holland."

set out bulbs in the Fall to know that
these were planted about the first of last
December. The ground was then verj'
wet. A blunt stick was used and the bulb
was put down about five inches. I men-
tion this because we saw other people
preparing beds at great expense; exca-
vating the soil, putting an inch of sand,
placing the bulb, and then covering with
four inches of earth. Of course the great
majority of gardeners know that this is
very old-fashioned and entirely an old
fogy notion. Late planted bulbs are
more satisfactory than earlier ones. I

efforts, his unflagging zeal and devotion,
had brought about this long-looked for
result — Mr. Wm. R. .Smith, [Anplause.]
and he doubted if there was any other
man in the ranks of the profession who
could have achieved what Mr. Smith had
done for the society. [Loud applause.]
Mr. Smith modestly replied, stating
that the whole matter to him had been a
labor of love. He had worked for seven
long years to obtain this, his heart's de-
sire, in order that the S. A. F. O. H. could
be placed in a position to accomplish
achievements still greater than those al-
ready effected. [Loud applause.]
A committee was appointed to prepare
a set of resolutions expressing the thanks
of the society to Mr. Smith, to have the
resolutions suitably engrossed and pre-
sented to him, aud also siirea<l upon the
minutes.
The articles of the constitution and by-
laws were then considered seriatim. As
set forth therein, the objects of the society
are to advance the love of floriculture
and horticultvire in America; to promote

Tbrciuuiiout the articles as submitted,
the words " auxiliar.v sections" had been
used: these were changed to read "Co-
operative Societies," aiul when the article
dealing- with such had been reached,
what seemed, at first, a difficult problem
was nicely solved through the appoint-
ment of a CJimmittee to revise the differ-
ent sections coming under this head. The
committee consisted of Messrs. Ward,
Lonsdale, Craig, Esler, and Stewart. The
following is the result of their delibera-
tions:
Co-operative Societies.
Any national or state organization
making application therefor whose aims
and purposes are in harmony witli the
charter of the Society of American Florists
and Ornamental Horticulturists may be
enrolled as a co-operative society by an
atJirmative vote of this society.
( 1 ) Delegates. — Each duly enrolled co-
operative society having a membership of
50 or more, of whom at least 25 are
members in good standing of the S. A. I''.

annually who shall serveforone year as a
member of the Executive Board with all
the rights, powers and privileges apper-
taining thereto.
(2) Registration. — All registration of
new plants by members of co-operative
societies shall be effected through and by
the office of the Secretary of the S. A. FJ
(). H., under the rules of said society. In
case of dispute as to a name, it shall be
referred to its special societ.v for settle-
ment,subject to the final approval of the
Society of .American I'lorists and Orna-

botanical, pathological, or entomological
matters, shall be referred to the regularly
constituted committees and authorities
of said society; any expense appertaining
thereto to be paid by the S. A. F. O. H.,
subject to the approval of the Executive

shall incorporate in his annual printed
report of the proceedings of this society,
such reports of saiil co-opera tivesocieties
as may be furnished anuuall.v by the sec-
retaries of saiil co-operative societies.
(3) Support of Special Exhibitions.
—The S. A. F. O. H. may pay at any
time to any co-operative society holding
a public floral or horticultural exhibi-
tion, in any part of the United States,
such sum as ma,v be voted by its Execu-
tive Board; said sum to be used in sup-
port of said exhibition; and may at the
order of said Exectitive Board contribute
siiecial meilals or ccrtiticates as awards
for new jjlants or flowers of American
origin or other products of American
skill deemed to be of special value to
horticulture.
(-t) Rights Reserved TO Co-operative
Societies.— The foregoing obligations
and privileges shall not be held as in any
way iiniiairing tlie autonomy of regu-
larly organized societies that may be-
come parties to these provisions, or re-
stricting their rights to self-government,
otherwise than as speciUed herein.
The date of the annual meeting was
fixed for the third Tuesda.v in August,
the meetingthis year, however, occurring
the first Tuesday in August, at Buffalo,
N. Y.
The officers elected to manage the
affairs of the society until the first annual
meeting are:
President, Patrick O'Mara; first vice-
Ijresident, Wm. F. Kasting, Buffalo; sec-

to be held, whenever practicable, at each
annual convention, of materials and
manufactures used in and products of
horticulture.

The Banquet.
Tuesday evening, in the Ebbitt House,
a ban(|uet was tendered to the visitors
by their fellow incorporators of the Dis-
trict of Columbia— Messrs. Wm. F. Gude,
ex-president, S. A. F. O. H., Benjamin
Durfee, of the American Rose Company,
Henry Small, of J. H. Small & Sons, and
Wm. R. Smith, of the Botanic Ciar<len.
Hon. Amos .J. Cummings, of New York,
was present as a guest. It was very
largely owing to the good work done b.y
Mr. Cummings, and the assistance ren-
dered b.y him, that the National Charter
for the Societ.v was secured. Mr. Smith
acted as toastmaster. The tables were
beautifully decorated, and on the plate of
each guest was an ivy leaf, tied with a
cluster bow of narrow ribbon of the na-
tional colors; on the leaf was inscribed
the name of the guest in gilt lettering.
The ivy from which this neat souvenir
was taken, is growing on Mr. Smith's
cottage in the Botanic Garden, the plant
having been brought over to that gentle-
man, from Melrose Abbey, Scotland, by
a granddaughter of the Scottish Bard,
Robert Burns, of whom Mr. .Smith says
" he did more to bring about a recogni-
tion of the P'atherhood of God and the
establishing of the true brotherhood of
man, than any single individual."
On the menu card were hand-painted a
picture of a bunch of some of the wild
flowers that grow In the vicinity of Wash-
ngton and the rose leaf badge of the So-
ciety, the work of a young niece of Mr.
Durfee, the whole being artisticall.v exe-
cuted. When cigars had been reached, the
toastmaster, his face radiant with pleas-
ure, told of the joy the jiresent occasion
afforded him. He considered it the
proudest moment of his life to have the
S. A. F. O. H. attain its present high po-
sition as the recipient of a charter from
the United .States Government, and pre-
dicted a great and glorious future for the
Society. "Ourtribulations are gone, and
we are free and happy as it is possible for
anybody to be." [.Applause.]
President O'Mara, after referring to th^
auspicious nature of the occasion, ten-
dered the thanks of the S. A. F. O. H. to
Mr. Smith, whose unremitting efforts had
secured the charter. There was no other
societj' in the country, connected with
any branch of human endeavor, that had
accomplished more In the same space of
time, than the S. A. F. O. H. had done,
but great as had been the Society's
achievements, these would be far
surpassed in the next 10 years and horti-
culture proportionately advanced. [Ap-
plause.]
Robert Craig congratulated his old
friend Mr. Smith on the grand culmina-
tion of his labors, which were purely la-
bors of love. Mr. Smith was not inter-
ested along commercial lines, nor in the
almighty dollar; but what he had done
had been performed because he loved the
beautiful. That had always been Mr.
Smith's feeling, and would be to the end
of his life. The acquisition of the charter
gives the S. A. F. O. H. a position it never
had before, and furnishes greater courage
to the florists to do more than they have
yet accomplished.
Mr. Gude made a beautiful little speech,
telling of the earnestness .and the hard
work of the gentlemen who had been in-
strumental in securing the charter; clos-
ing his remarks with a statement as to
the important part played by sentiment
in the business of the florist. Mr. Gude's
remarks were loudly applauded. Law-
rence Cotter followed, thanking all for
the warmth of the reception given the
visitors by the Washington boys. He
could say of Mr. Smith, what that gen-
tleman once said of the late Peter Hen-
derson, " It's an honor to have known
you, sir." [Loud applause.]
Mr. Ward, the author of the appella-
tion "co-operative societies 'spoke on the
work of these .associations. He consid-
ered there was no difference between these
bodies and the S. A.. F., and those who
thought there was, have concluded it had
been purely an imagination. At any
rate, if any difference existed , the co-opera-
tive societies will labor assiduously to do
awa.v with it. Under the constitution
and by-laws fr.amed that day, the S. A.
F. O. H. had not secured amalgamation
with these assnci.ations, but it had secured
co-operation in its fullest sense, " and,"
he added, "co-oper.ation is what .vou will
get. I do not believe there will be a sin-
gle member of any of the co-operative so-
cieties who in any sense will throw a
single straw in the way of the advance-
ment of the S. A. F. O. H.; if such therfe
be in any horticultural body with which
I am connected, I'll vote to fire him out
of the Isociety." [.Vpplause.]| He did not
wish to create the idea that the S. A. F.
O. H. needed the assistance of an.v other
society in order to itself succeed. The
advancement of horticulture in the United
States did not depend on any one society,
but upon that force that lies below the
S. A. F. and other American institutions,
that tremendous American vitality that
pushes everything forward, that stanch
American character that urges the coun-
try onward. He complimented the S. A.
F. O. H. on what it had done, and be'
lleved that the present was one of the
steps leading up to a grand comprehen-
sive movement. [Loud applause.]
John N. May followed with one of his
best efforts in post-prandial oratory
he.ard in a long time. He hoped all would
entwine and cling around the main body
th.at h<ad been formed that day, and hold
in reverent memory the name of the m.an
who had done so much for the S. A. F.
O. H. The speaker hoped Mr. Smith
would live to see the Society on the plane
where it deserved to be as the leading
horticultural association of the world.
Wm. .J. Stewart came next with one of
his neat, complimentary speeches, telling
how glad he was that the opportunity
would now be afforded him of vislthig
Washington often, and partaking of its
well-known hospitality.
Hon. Amos J. Cummings told of his
many years' acqualnt.ance with Mr.
Smith, of the latter's efforts, almostfutile,
to make him (the speaker), a botanist,
and kept his hearers in roars of laughter
by his humorous anecdotes of congress-
men who had approached him (Mr. Cum-
mings) when he acted as chairman of
what in the House w.as facetiously termed
"the bouquet committee" — the commit-
tee having in charge the ,S. A. F. charter
matter. He was amazed at the number
of roses and the extent of rose nomencla-
ture now-a-days, comp.ared with his bo.v-
hood period. .Some of the roses are like
members of committees— they show up
well, and bring the highest price.
[Laughter.] He was opposed to
the free distribution of seeds by
the Government to farmers and others.
He believed the farmer should buy his
own seeds from the seedsmen of the
country, thereby getting better seeds
than those supplied by the Government.
Fred Mathison urged that the .S. A. F.
O. H. endeavor to bring into its fold more
cemeter.y and park superintendents, as
well as the jobbing landscape gardener,
the latter of whom created a greater love
for the herbaceous garden than it was
possible for the greenhouse man to do.
Mr. Lonsd.ale also made a few remarks
speaking of the value of federation He
w.as followed by W. G. Bertermann, who
invited all to go to Indhanapolis in Feb-
ruary next, to attend the Carnation So-
ciety's convention. Mr. Buettner spoke
on sentiment in the florist's business, and
the need of suppljing with flowers the
poor as well as the rich. A rose in a gar-
den was as great a moral teacher as a
Bible on a table. P. Welch, of Boston,
quoted statistics showing the great de-
velopment of the industry during the
past decaile, and urged the necessity of
a tlomestic parcels post. He was followed
b.v Mr. Durfee, who thought the distribu-
tion of pl.ants by the Government to con-
gressmen had helped thetrade, and would
do it more so, were the gifts restricted to
10 per cent, of the total number, as the
others, and finally the whole lot would
become buyers. He later proposed a
toast " To the Congress that passed and
the President who signed the ,S. A . F. O. H .
Charter," which was drunk amid great
enthusiasm.
Songs were rendered during the even-
ing b.v Wm.. I. Stewart, and .VIex. Wallace.
Much sympathy was felt for Henry
Small, who had been suddenly called to
Atlantic t'ity owing to the serious illness
of his f.ather and youngest sister there.
Mr. Small deeply regretted his unavoida-
ble absence from an occasion in which he
had taken the deepest interest to promote.
This most pleasant .affair broke up near
the " wee short oor.iyoutthe twal " with
the singing of -Vuld Lang .Syne.

Indianapolis.
meeting of the State F. A. of Indiana.
The regular monthly meeting was
held at the Commercial Club rooms by
the State Florists' Association of Indi-
ana, May 7, at 8 p. m. As all concerned
are very busy witli the planting season,
the attendance was considered good. E.
M. Hyatt, of Anderson, and Wm. Bradley,
of Elwood, "were elected members. Spe-
cial efforts will be made the coming
months to bring in all the new members
possible from all over the State. Secre-
tary Bertermann,forthe chrysanthemum
show, reported good progress with the
subscription list, and prospects for ser-
eral lots of big show plants being raised.
In regard to the American Carnation So-
ciety meeting, notliing of importance will
be announced until Fall.
Mr. Alley drew attention to a bulletin
issued by the Purdue Experiment Station
(United States Agricultural Station) at
Lafayette, Ind , regarding several prepa-
rations described for the extermination
of all insects injurious to the horticul-
tural field. Bulletin No. 69,Vol. 9,can be
had on application.
Much discussion was created by several
fakirs appearing on our streets and dis-
posing of carnations principally, this
stock being furnished by several growers
who have sold to retailers at a high
price all Winter. Retailers claim they
should give away or destroy this surplus
instead of starting Greeks to work here.
No definite plan was decided on, but a
sentiment seems to be universal that it
would be a good thing to give hospitals
and charities the benefit of the present
surplus.
A committee was appointed to secure
some good vasesfor use during our meet-
ings. It was decided to meet perma-
nently in the Commercial Club rooms. In
regard to attending the Buffalo conven-
tion, nothing will be done until the June
meeting; arrangements for the annual
outing will also be decided upon then.
During the discussions one member
placed the florist in third place, as denot-
ing the standing of our profession:
Preacher, doctor, florist.
A committee was appointed to draw
up appropriate resolutions of sympathy
and respect on account of the death of
Mrs. J. D. Carmod.v, Mr. Carmody being
one of our most honored members and
many times an officer of our society.
The News in General.
Huber & Stilz have dissolved part-
nership, Mr. Huber continuing the busi-
ness.
Mr. W. W. Coles, of Kokomo, comes to
the city often, his wife being in a sanita-
rium here. She is getting along nicely
and he expects to take her home much
improved.
Never has there been such an over sup-
ply of carnationsas duringthe past three
weeks; in the public market thousands
can be seen on the stands and very good
flowers, too. It seems as if the plants are
making up for their Winter's shortage.
Outdoor plants have burst into bloom
so fast that many peopletake advantage
of their flowers and give greenhouse stock
the go-by.
The bedding season is opening quite
brisk ; the outlook is for a shortage in
several lines, especiall.y foliage plants.
John Hartje and Baur & Smith had
some excellent seedling carnations on ex-
hibition at the last meeting. Bertermann
Bros, showed a vase of Lawson that
were fine; it is no doubt the show flower
among carnations. W. B.

The Market.
Business remains quiet, and the
market continues to be heavily supplied;
in fact, too much so in nearly all lines.
The exceeding low figures at which many
flowers have to be sold, in order to get
rid of them at all brings down the aver-
age value pretty low. Roses are still
very plentiful and hold out remarkably
well, as do carnations which have taken
quite a drop in value. A No. 1 stock of
best varieties can now be bought for
$1.50 per 100, though many good ones
go at $1, and quantities of the poorer
grades at 50c. to 75c. per 100. A few
fancies make $2 and $2.50, which are the
e.Ktreme figures for specials.
The inside bulbous flower supply is
about overuow, most of the stock on the
market coming from out of doors. The
demand, however, is rather light.
A few good violets are still seen; they
sell at 50c. per 100. Sweet peas are more
plentiful at 50c. to SI per 100, the latter
price being for best grade stock. Pansies,
too, are very abundant, but do pretty
well at 25c. to 35c. per 100.
Baskets of pansies, English daisies and
asters are being brought in in large sup-
ply. They seU at $1.50 to $1.75 per
dozen.
Jottings.
On Monday Messrs. P. Welch, F. R.
Mathison, L. Cotter and W. J. Stewart
left for Washington, to attend a meeting
of the incorporators, under the charter,
of the Society of American Florists aud
Ornamental Horticulturists. Among
those who also expected to go were two
ex-presidents of the society — M. H. Nor-
ton and E. M. Wood. The latter was de-
tained through his spell of sickness, and
the former on account of quite a serious
accident sustained by his wife dislocating
her shoulder blade, and causing other
injuries. F. J. N.
St. Louis.
Trade Conditions— The Fakirs.
Quite a change for the better has
taken place in the cut flower market. Re-
ceipts have fallen off, and a somewhat
better demand has cleaned up the houses;
new stock is worth counting out, instead
of being lumped oft by the box as re-
ceived; indeed, even commission men re-
ported a shortage of stock. Carnations
have been sold as high as 81.2.5 per 100;
roses (Jc. to 6c., sweet peas 50c. per 100.
A few lilies that sell for 6c.; with outdoor
lily of the valley (which is reported of
little value), comprise about all that is
coming in. The glut ju.st over was one
of the worst ever felt in this city; it was
caused by a great influx of stock, and a
sudden shutting down by the mayor of
all the street fakirs, which closed an out-
let for stock, and the consequence was
the piling up of same. The iiuestion as
to whether ' this street selling at low
prices, or better prices and dumping a lot
of the surplus, is the best for the grovrer,
aud retailer, is a moot one. We are rather
inclined to favor the fakir, for in this city
there are several stores tliat persist in
selling at fakir prices, aud we might as
well have the real thing. Anyhow, we
hope the gluts are over for the present,
for weather is hot again, after a short
cool spell, and the production is sure to
lighten up.
Club Meeting.
The regular monthly meeting was
held May 9, 11 members being present,
and we were surprised to note the ma-
jority were from out of town. Mr. Frank
EUis" was appointed on the show com-
mittee; several members were dropped
for non-payment of dues. The trustees
were Instructed to make arrangements
tor a picnic in July. J. J. Beneke was ap-
pointed a committee of one to obtain
best rates to the Buffalo Convention.
Dr. Halstead tendered the use of the
rooms of the Commercial Club, at Belle-
ville, for the next meeting which, as
arranged some time previous, will be held
at different places during the Summer
months. Members will assemble at above
place for the .June meeting, at H o'clock.
Mr. Nile exhibited a seedling carnation
of the Daybreak type, with stem 52
inches long; it wasconsidered a very fine
addition to the existing kinds, and was
voted to be worthy of mention. Plants-
men are still very busy with bedding, and
the prospects for a season equal to the
average are very good. C. C. S.
Buffalo.
Getting Ready for Outdoor Planting.
With the oncoming of the Spring
season, outdoor growths have developed
into a beautiful flowery appearance.
';herry trees are in full bloom, and some
shrub flowers in fine array. The atmos-
phere for some past days has, however,
remained cool, most uncomfortably so.
The cut-fiower trade is a bit between
times, aud but moderate, with Bowers
quite ample, but not inclined to surplus.
The plantsmen are becoming busy in
preparation for.orderiilling.tlie which will
be at its height 10 days later. A good
quality of stock is in sight at most places,
with quantity everywhere taxing the
houses so a general increase is noticeable.
Wm. Scott has inaugurated a novel move,
as contrary to the usual method of flo-
rists in finishing up their own surround-
ings with left-over stock, after the close
of the season of sales. His front yard is all
a trim, the beds completely planted for
the Summer with good sized stock, the
lawn spaces fixed up, the bay trees out.
.\ proper advertisement we call it.
Wm. Legg's houses on Delaw^are Av-
enue, show a nice growth of stock in va-
riety, with a bedding plant trade promis-
ing fair. A 40-foot length of bench in
one house is given to annual larkspur,
now about to flower, and intended to
help out the usual void of bulk cut-flowers
in June.
In the greenhouses at Delaware Park
under the charge of Assistant Superin-
tendent James Braik, may now be seen
a stock of bedding plants ample in quality,
and in quantity large. All is, more ad-
vanced in size than in pastyears and will
make a fineshow'ing soon as planted out,
which will not be begun until the last
week of May; 70,000 alternantheras
alone, all in pots, and 2,000 ricinus, with
other kinds proportionate, gives an idea.
Geranium Salleroi is grown so sturdily as
to give its leaves a "Happy Thought"
look in two ways. AbutUon Savitzi,
variegated, is looked upon as a coming-
acquisition, and a stock of alocasias, also
for bedding, is to be worked up. An un-
usual sight is a specimen Cycas revoluta,
of apparently a 10-foot spread of leaves,
in flower; attractive, even if not so hand-
some. The captain says if this attraction
lasts till then, the craft may see it at the
August trade exhibit.
The Club and the 8. A. F.
A good attendance was present at the
club meeting on Tuesday of last week.
Asiile from electing three new members,
detail.-^ of the coming ctmveution received
much attention, denoting progress. Wm.
Scott, J. F. Cowell and W. A. Adams
w'ere made a. committee to work in con-
junction with Daniel B. Long for the issu-
ing of a souvenir.
Matters at the Pan-American are mak-
ing pleasing progress toward good ap-
pearances for Monday next, set as the
formal " opening day " of inaugural cere-
monies. Wm. T. Bell, of Franklin, Pa.,
is commissioned to judge the display of
cut roses. May 20.
Walter Mott, of Philadelphia, was a
visitor over Sunday last. Vidi.
Nlag^ara, Falls.
E. A. Butler's retail place on Third and
Main .Streets, wears a prosperous air; he
has a nice lot of bedding plants ready.
Hanging baskets are a strong feature
here. A pretty light pink, shaded deeper,
pelarganium, probably a sport, flowers
so early and free, with him, as to call
forth special notice. His Spring trade
has been satisfactory, with Easter trade
good, especially in the smaller and low-
priced plants. Vidi.

state of Trade.
During all last week the glut con-
tinuetl with very low prices, except for
prime stock, but as the weather has
turned cool again, there is some let-up,
with values a trifle firmer; thus business
among the retailers can hardly be called
brisk. The cool weather has kept back
the pwonias from Southern Illinois, but
the advance guard of the early pink and
red are liere, and we may expect heavy
supplies any day, which, with hlac and
other Spring flowers, will serve to cut
into sales of roses and carnati<ms. Vege-
tation has made very little progress the
past week, and the home crop of p;i?onias
will Ihardly be in this vear for Memorial
Day.
In our rounds this morning we notice<l
roses less abun^lant, some mildew show-
ing; in some lots, color a trifle better on
account of cooler weatlier; Meteor good
in color, but short in stem; Perle im-
proved; American lieauty, much stock,
still small and light in color but enough
of fairly good to fill all demand. Carna-
tions dropped off somewhat, but there
is more than enough to go round, and
standards still sell at T.'jc. to $1 per 100.
Bulbous stock is no longer troublesome.
Lilies easing up, but plenty around .vet.
Violets about over; have not noticed any
from frames this year. Forced lily of the
valley, $3 to ^-t; outdoor $1 to S2.
.Sweet peas are abundant with sales not
very brisk.
Weather yet too uncertain (thisl-tth,
a. m., down to 40 degrees) and cloudy,
to make the plant business very brisk.
Usually the parks begin l)edding out
about the 20th, but will hardly do so this
year.
Horticultural Society'^ Premium Li»t.
The premium list is at last out an<l
calls for a total of nearly $:!,O00 divided
as folhiws: Cut flowers — chrysanthe-
mums, S.594, orchids, S0(), roses S117,
carnations S-19, violets $85. Plants —
chrysanthemums ?390, miscellaneous
$801. Floral displays in various forms,
$500. The silver and bronze medals of
the Society are also offered for meritori-
ous plants or flowers of American origin,
as also are the usual silvermedalsoftheC.
H. S., for seedling chr.ysanthemums and
carnations. There are some changes in
the general make-up of the schedule; for
example the intelniatioual competition in
chrysanthemums omitted last year, is in-
cluded this. We find an inn^jvation under
rule 2.'^ which reads: " All cut flowers
shall be judged twice, viz., as soon as
ma.v be after being staged, and again on
the following da.v, and the average points
thus obtained shall determine awards.
This rule shall not apply to such exhibits
as may be specifically excepted." It does
not appear that any new flowers are to
be added the second day, so this will be
a trial of keeping iiualities, we take it.
Copies of the premium list may be ob-
tained of W. N. Rudd, secretary, 185 Dear-
born Street.

eral assortment of salable window and
Viediling ijlants. He has also built a gof)d
home trade in flowers and is often a buyer
of cut bloom.
F. S. Neigbck,210+ North Clark Street,

.Jacob Fischer, a florist employed at
Ritter's greenliouses, met with a miracu-
lous escape from instant death, May 1
during a storm. Lightning struck a
telegraph pole and was communicated
by wires leading to the office ot" Mr.
Hitter. Mr. Fischer was knocked flat to
the floor. He received an ugly cut over
the nose and one on the cheek, and for a
time was thought to be dead. The per-
son talking with Fischer was badly
stunned.

12. The exhibition will be held in the
Orange Armoiy, for one day only. Chil-
dren will be admitted fr^e, the price of
Hdniissiim fur jtdults being 10c. It hav-
ing been announced that the donations
received toward difraying the expense of
supplying the children with plants and
proper staging of same at the txhibitioii,
also th • prizes to be nwarded, was only
$ii5, the socieiy decided lo make good
any deficit occurring. Ten premiums,
langii g in valu ■ from 50c. to $5 tach,
are to be c impeted for.
A committee, consisting of George
Smith,.). B. Davis and Malcolm McKori ■,
was appointed to frame resolutions ex-
pressing the sentiments of the society
upon thewaulon deslruelion.by the tele-
phone and telegraph companies, of the
historical trees c.f the Oriinge streets.
.J. B. Davisgave a scholarly and interest-
ing talk on the colored plates from
Brooke's folio work on " The Gardens of
England.'' A discussion ensued, led by
Mr. Caswell, who had personally visited
many of the .scenes shown. A lively de-
bate occurred upon the merits of English
vs. Scotch gardening, as shown in the
estates of each couhiry. The superior
natural scenery of the latter was consid
ered iu its favor.
Wm. Duckham, of Madison, N. J., will
be the speaker at next meeting.

keting of the crop. This was decided on
at a recent meeting ol thirty-two growers
held at Goshen, Ky. Twenty-eight of
those present voted to combine and to
place tbe business in the hands ot P. W.
Hardin, of Louisville. Mr. Hardin states
that indications are for a shorter crop
this year than last, and attributes this to
thedrouthot last Fall and the decrease of
acreage, which has been made necessary
by the tiring of the laud from successive
crops. He thinks growers will receive
more than a dollar a bushel tor this
j'ear'scrop. Grcjwers claim combination
is made necessary by what they allege to
be a league among dealers to refuse to
buy seed till it is ottered at their price.

—At a meeting of the Executive Commit-
tee of the American Seed Tra'Ie Associa-
tion, held in Philadelphia, January 28,
it was voted that the next annual con-
vention be held in Rochester, N.Y'., June
ll-i;!, 1901, it being found that hotel ac-
commodations could be obtained there
to better serve the comfort ot members
while attending both the convention and
the exposition, as special trains will be
run to Buffalo at not to exceed one-half
tare. The selection ot hotel was left with
W. J. Mandeville, of Rochester. He has
secured accomomdations at Powers' Ho-
tel. Rates, $:5 to $4 per day, on the
American plan. It is very important
that members wishing to attend engage
their rooms at once, as hotel accommo-
dations will be hard to obtain later. ,\11
who expect to attend the convention and
have not secured their rooms are urged
to write at once to Mr. Manileville re-
garding the rooms they wish to engage,
and be explicit in stating just what is re-
quired.
S. F. Willard, Secretary.
The program is a most interesting one;

European Notes.
Some heavy rains have tempered the
effects of a cool spell, and, when the sun
returns to duty, prospects will brighten
considerably. Our ground seed crops are
making satisfactory progress at present
and we confidently hope that all danger
from cold is past. In the meantime, tlie
demand continues active, and this activity
.affords an opportunity tor clearing out
goods that would otherwise find their
way to tlie crushers.
If the radish seed growers were as trac-
table as present climatic conditions are
favorable for transplanting, those of ns
who have reconciled ourselves to work-
ing for nothing would rest content; but
the appetite of the growers, grows by
what it feeds upon, and their maw ap-
pears to be insatiable. Even this we
would willingly endure in the effort to
fultill honoraiile obligations, but unfortu-
nately there is no appearance of energy
in their attention to I he growers' share
of the duties. .Some day it will be the
dealers' turn, and then 'there will be the
deuce to pa.v:" in the meantime \\'e luive
to "pay and look pleasant." It all con-
ditions continue to be favorable, tliereis
no prospect of a surplus.
In market seeds, tliere is little change
to recoi'fl; transactions have been very
limited and profits small. Rape and
mustard areiuoving off rapidly and have
([uite recovered former values. The pros-
pects tor a reduction in the price ot the
former arc very remote.

Growing: Flower Seed in
the Santa Clara Valley.
I!y Lester L. Morse, before PacWe Flora
Congress.
The culture of flowers tor seed is quite
different from vegetable seed growing,
since the whole concern of the grower is
to get good blossoms and his efforts are
directed toward the development of
larger, stronger and more fragrant
flowers, as well as of a greater variety of
shades and colors. In vegetables, of
course, the color, shape or size of the
blossom is of little consequence, since at
the period of blossoming the type of the
vegetable has been determined antl the
rogueing and selecting has all been done.
In the flower, the rogueing and selecting
must be done when the plant is in full
bloom and intelligent work in this re-
quires no little experience.
A foreign flower seed grower of wide
experience remarked to me, " You have
the soil and climate in California, but you
lack the knowledge," and that is true.
Personally, I have been at work ou
flower seed growing for many years —
have experimented with a great many
different varieties and species of flowers
for seed, and am now interested in the
culture of a considerable acreage of them,
but feel that even yet I haven't that
knowledge referred to by my friend.
Seed growing in all of its branches is a
high form of horticulture — rather higher
tlian propagating nursery stock or
growing fruit ami vegetables for market;
but of all the departments ot the seed busi-
ness that ot growing flower seeds is the
most refined and difficult. It means a
great deal of detail work, from the fact
that practically all species of flowers are
found in great variety and these varieties
run in a wide variation of shades and
colors.
Growing flower seeds carefully means
that every shadeand color ot ever.v varie-
ty must be kept separate and distinct,
and even mixtures, if they are ot a high
grade, must be made up of named varie-
ties mixed togetlier — definite quantities
of each in stitticient amounts to properly
blend the whole, or to give the mixture a
well-balanced assortment of all shades.
.My knowledge of flower seed growing
in tlieSanta Clara Valley isconfined prac-
tically to my own experienci' — an experi-
ence dating from m.v bo.vliood, tor when
a school boy, part of my duties on the
farm was to look after the flower seeds.
My various experiments have included a
considerable number of kinds of flt>wers,
but many, it not most, ot these flowers
we no longer grow; in tact, many of
them never reaclieil a plane beyond expe-
riment, principally on account of their
proving to be unprofitable.
Such flowers as wehave grown for seed
in sufficient quantity to sell and can be
properly considered well tried, are repre-
sented by the following list: .Vster, sweet
alyssum, balsam, candytuft, ccutaurea,
calendula, annual chrysanlheinuin, calli-
opsis, cosmos, carnati(Ui, coxcomb, dia.n-
thus, eschscholtzia, hunnemannia, holly-
hock, helichrysuiu, marigold, mignon-
ette, poppy, verbena, zinnia, snapdragon,
marvel of Peru, gaillarda.scabiosn, phlox,
toxglove,8alpiglossis, iierennial pea, sweet
pea, nasturtium, sunflower, sweet Wil-
liam, stocks, smilax, pan.sy, moluccella,
ricinus, and nicotiana. These are items
that we have grown from time to time.
Many ot tliem we have given up, and are
not now growingmorethanh.ilf this list.
You will notice that most of these
flowers are annuals, which are the most
natural sorts for a seed grower to devote
his time to, since the demand for seed in
i|uantity would be more largely for things
th.it must bereplanled every year from
seeii and cannot be propagated from cut-
tings. The nursery business which is in-
terested wholly \n selliug plants, Is quite

distinct from the seed growing business
on this account.
Annuals, being the most easily grown,
ai'e also apt to be the least profitable,
.'Since prices are correspondingly low — as,
for instance, mignonette, which is quoted
by the foreign growers as low as l(3c. per
pound; it costs u.s_nearlythat to harvest
it here.
Biennials and perennials are always
troublesome to carry over from season
to season, since they require a certain
amount of Winter cultivation and are in
constant danger of being drowned out in
a wet Winter or killed by the frost when
the cold is very severe.
While many thingscan besown directly
i'> the field and thinned, it is better to
start all fine seeds in hot beds and when
of the proper size transplant in the field
and, when tender plants, one cap be rea-
sonably assured that all danger of frost
is over. This process of transplanting is
always expensive, representing a great
deal of hand labor; but it is important
and usually necessary, since many things
are improved by it, and the plant has
larger and better flowers in consequence.
Some things, such as poppies, do not
transplant well, and being hardy in our
climate are sownontof doors in the field.
Once in the field, next comes the hoeing
and cultivating. Since most flowers
grown for seed are more or less delicate,
there is but little opportunity for horse
work, and hand cultivating is therefore
necessary and always expensive.
Of course, practically all flowers want
deep rich soil, either naturally so, or
made so by fertilization, and they require
a great deal of moisture — in Summer as
well as Spring — either naturally moist
soil or irrigated land. One wants to get
a gociil vigorous growth to his plants to
get the most i)erfect blooms possible, as
well as the greatest quantity of them,
and the soil and climate are tlie principal
elements required to accomplish tliis.
The interesting time to the flower seed
grower is when his flowers are in bloom;
then comes the period of rogueing and
selecting and marking and note taking.
There is practically no flower in this
age of advanced scientific cultivation but
what has been developed from the wild
state by process of selection; and the
tendene.y of ail flowers is to sport,
that is, its seed will produce an occasional
plant whose blossoms are of different
shade, or size, or color, from the true
type. The sports are frequently in-
terior, since tlieir flowers are likely to
revert to the oldest or original type, and
hence, as a rule, have to be pulled up and
thrown out, a. process we call rogueing.
Not only inferior types must be rogued,
but everything untrue, and the thorough-
ness and intelligent manner of this rogue-
ing is wliat determines the merit of the
seed grower's stocks.
To illustrate, in chrysanthemum-flow-
ered sunflower, a plant is frequently much
taller than its fellows, another has fewer
flowerets and is therefore less double,
another's fringe of outside petals is too
large, and while each sport is perhaps a
desirable flower by itself, it is " oft" and
must come out. In Scarlet Defiance ver-
benas, on the other hand, there is little
<ir no difference in the flower or the size
of the blossoms on all plants, but there
is here and there a plant of different
shades of. red, all very pretty indeed, but
"oft" and every one but the true bright
scarlet of one shade must be pulled up
and thrown out. Again, there are tall
or climbing and also dwarf types of many
things, such as sweet peas and nastur-
tiums, and there must be absolutely no
mixture of the two classes, so that it one
type appears in the other it must come
out.
.Sometimes, however, it is neither shape,
size nor color, but time that determines
a rogue, as in Queen of the Market aster
for instance. This is one of the earliest
varieties to bloom and should there be
some tardy plants which fail to blossom
until after the majority of the others are
past their prime, these plants ought to
come out. .Just so with many other
kinds of flowers, or early and late sorts
are characteristic of flowers as well as of
fruits and vegetables.
This rogueing process is required to
keep tlie strains pure and true to name,
but do not always pull up and throw
away the sports. :Many of our best
varieties of flo'wers "were once sports that
were selected and propagated; and it is
only experience and observation that can
teach us which sports are to be valued
and which to be discarded. Frequently
the selection made and saved so carefully
will not come true again, that is, it will
not repro<luce itself. One of the finest
asters we ever grew, a large bright crim-
son branching t.v]ii>, never had a progeny
that was hah' its e(|ual, and the product
from the original broke into a great va-
riety of other retis and whites of inferior
shapes and sizes and showed only a few
that approached the original, while the
subsequent products of these were even
less desirable and the selection proved a
total failure, with its natura;l disappoint-
ment.
The seed grower must have every type
of th<' true .stock fixed in his mind, and
his own planting stock must be selected
with great care. He should always select
whole plants producing the greatest av-
erage of fiue blossoms and not attempt
to take a little seed from the pod of a
single flowy. He must select and re-se-
lect over and over again, and should not
use stock for his crops that is not a
selected strain, since the tendency is so
strong in flowers, as in all plants, to de-
teriorate. It is jilso a good plan to save
individual selections; that is, keep the
seed of eacli plant separate thougli there
be 20 plants selected of precisel.^' the same
thing. This method secures a strain that
will be superior, since some phuits are
better reproducers than others and the
strain secured from a plant that shows a
uniformity of color, size and vigor is
much the more desirable.
If this system be carried out, it natu-
rally means an endless detail to a busi-
ness. For instance, if one wishes to grow
10 varieties of aster, it is not a. great
assortment at all to have 20 colors of
each variety, and each color must be
grown separatel.v. It would require per-
haps that 2.5 or .'BO plants be selected tor
stock seed to get the quantity of plant-
ing stock needed, and these plants should
be harvested in separate packages and
all put under one tag. A number of these
colors will show sports that are desira-
ble, and these will have to be saved and
tried again; so that in a field of asters,
40" or .".oo stakes, and as many individ-
ual little packages of seed is not a great
stock tor a flower seed grower here;
and in Germany where thegreatest flower
seed farms are found these individual
selections probably run into several thou-
sands. Aster is simply one species; all
flowers require the same amount of de-
tail, and consequent close attention.
There has always been considerable
prejudice, some (jf which has disappeared,
against California flower siM'(ls.espt.'cially
on certain things that have found favor
in spite of opposition. Some, probably
many, still criticise California grown
pansy seed and many California people
prefer and use exclusively imported seed.
I am quite sure, however, that it is par-
ticular stocks that are in question, and
that the criticism should not hold good
against pansy seed of improved types
properly grown. My own experience
proves the latter to be just as good as
imported stocks, but I find it is an item
tliat requires more than usual attention
and more care than many of us can afford
to give it, for it is, in all respects, an un-
profitable crop with us.
As in man.v flowers, the finest and
largest produce ver.v little seed, especially
some varieties, while the smallest and
lea St attractive varieties will seed fairly
well. If one had a bed of pansies in his
garden and gathered most of the finest
blossoms during the whole of Spring, and
then in Siiininer saved the seed that had
matured, I doubt if the product of his
seed the next season would be good for
anything; it certainl.v would not do for
a seed grower, tor it is the reverse of this
proceeding that the seed grower follows.
Such plants as would naturally seed well
are very apt to be the ones that would
be pulled up, and the finest blossoms, in-
stead ot being gathered for pleasure,
would be allowed to seed if they would,
and a certain proportion of them would
produce a little seed. It is the constant
and careful selection ot the finest, per-
formed by an intelligentsystem,that will
make good flower strains, wherever
flowers can be grown, and there is no
doubt about the merit ot California flower
seeds when they are so produced.
In the first place, our climate in Cali-
iornia, especiallly in Santa Clara Valley,
is rather superior to that of any other
seed growing section. Cool nights and
warm days, tempered in the afternoon
by constant sea breezes, are ideal condi-
tions tor Summer blossoms. Then the
long dry Summers are just the thing tor
harvest, and the seed develops and ma-
tures to almost a perfect degree so far as
natural conditions are concerned.
We have a variety of soils, too, that
affords us abundant choice to meet the
needs ot all sorts of plants, and so far as
nature can help us, we are endowed in
the .Santa Clara Valley with all the gifts
that would make us the seed producing
country for the world's supply of flower
seed. We are not apt to become such,
however, since competition with the for-
eign growers is too keen, and there is ab-
solutel.v no profit tor us in growing the
majority of the long list of flowers offered
by tile forei;iii seed growers.
We are greatly handicajjped, too, in our
competition by the great want of suffi-
cient intelligent, but cheap labor, as well
as by want of a tariff, as flower seeds
are admitted tree ot duty.
The great German seed farms employ
women largely, sometimes all together,
and the wages amount to about 4.5c. to
50c. a day. The women are excellent
labor tor flower seed work — are careful
and patient as well as strong, and from
life-long experience become valuable to a
great degree, so much so that a grower's
supremacy is maintained largely by his
liold on this cheap but intelligent latior.
The foreigner's prices are based on this
labor, and consequently many things are
now too cheap to offer any temptation
to us to grow them.
We grow some nasturtium, (most ot
them, however, near Aptos on account
of the cool, foggy weather in .Summer),
but our efforts are confinetl to the higher
priced and rarer varieties, and these, too,
in limited quantities, tor no otlier reason
than a question of labor. Nasturtium
seed all falls to the ground and must be
swept up after the plants have done seed-
ing and can be pulled up. I.ast Summer
some .1 apanese contracted to gather the
seed at harvest time { after the season's
cultivation and hoeing had been done) at
10c. per pound; but after working a tew
days, they thought they weren't making
anything, so it was necessary to employ
men by the day to finish the work, and
it costs us more than 10c. a pound to
gather the seed.

The Nursery Busines.'s for Spring. —
The closing up of the business for Spring
—tor the iSth of May sees the greater
part of the business ended in most all the
states — Hnds the nurserymen a contented
lot, as a rule. .Sales have been even
heavier than those of last season, which
b.v many was thought to be the height
of the wave, and the season closes with
most of what is called good-stzed stock
cleaned out.
Besides accounting for it on the ground
of general business^prosperity, there is to
be considered the great loss of evergreens
by the dryness of the ground last Winter,
which killed all kinds of trees, native and
foreign. Nurserymen who have grown
old in the business always keep up a full
stock. As soon as a plot of ground has
been prett.v well cleaned by sales, the few
trees left are cleared off and the whole
piece re-planted, first applying a good
coat of stable manure. This, of cour-se,
the nurserymen are doing now, and much
of this work has already been accom-
plished. But these same nurserymen do
not look on a rush of sales such as expe-
rienced the past year, as assured tor the
future. The past has shown seasons of
rush and seasons of idleness. There is
this to be kept in mind, however, the
country is yearly increasing its popula-
tion and its wealth, and a good demand
for nurser.v stock in the future seems fairly
well assured.
A marked feature of late is the rivalry,
if it may be so termed, between wealthy
persons to ornament their grounds. Es-
tates are getting very large, keeping pace
with increased wealth of individuals, and
enormous sums are being expended tor
nursei-y stock to beused in thisembellish-
ment. Trees and shrubs on single orders
tire not asked for b.v the tens and hun-
ilreds, but b.y thethousands. A tew orders
of to-day will contain more stock than
the whole business called tor a few years

The question of labor is alwa.vs one of
a puzzling nature to a nurseryman. In

weeks. If his regular staff consists of 50
men he will find himsell compelled to add
double the number, or more. .Just how
to get the raw material into a profitable
shape is his puzzle. The nursery stab has

and what many try to do is to find work

of men who can superintend the raw men

Trade Notes.
BusinesB the past week in cut
flower lines has been fairly brisk, owing,
principally, to the quantity of funeral
work done. Flowers are not over-plenti-
ful and the variety !■ rather limited.
Bulbous stock is all through with for
this season, excepting a few late tulips.
Roses, carnations and sweet peas consti-
tute the extent of the stock now in the
market. Indications are that flowers
will be scarce for Memorial Day. Lilacs
are now in full bloom, but will be past by
that time. Owing to the lateness of the
season, very little outside stock will be
In flower then.
Bedding plants are moving at a lively
rate.

The prospects are that coniiderable
greenhouse building will be done in this
locality this Summer.
The Hartford County exhibit, at the

last Tuesday, and was under the auspices
of the Hartford Florists' Club. The ex-
hibit included roses, carnations, sweet
peas, callas and Narcissus poeticus.

NEPHROLEPIS WITTBOLDII ^^t^Kr
Nephrolepis Wittboldii should have preseot interest for every florist; it means money in the pocliet of every man in the
trade. Wittboldii is the Boston Fern with much wider fronds and the edges of the pinnae heavily undulated, crinkled in a most
distinctive manner ; it is much more decorative, is an even stronger grower and propagates even more rapidly, while it is just as
tough and enduring as a house plant. We are sending out strong pi ints which will at once produce runners if planted out on the
bench. Give it light soil. Neplirolepis Wittboldii is offered :
Strong plants ready for 3 in. and 4 in. pots, at $1.00 each, $10.00 a doz., $75.00 a 100.
We've received dozens of letters from growers who have tried AVittboIdii and
touching many different points.

Ottawa.
The weather has been cold, and a
week's rain has kept the planting out of
stock at a standstill, although most of
the young carnations are planted out
and looking well. The prospects are
very bright for a large Spring trade, and
the stock is in good supply and quality.
Store trade has been very satisfactory
and the supply of flowers plentiful.
C. Scrim and R. Wright are pulling
down and rebuilding several houses.
The Horticultural Society held its first
show on Tuesday; it was largely at-
tended. The pansies were very flne, but
the date was a little late for tulips, hya-
cinths, etc., owing to the very early
Spring here. E. I. Mepsted was appointed
judge of plants and flowers for the sea-
son. An announcement of great interest
to the members was made by the presi-
dent, to the effect that Lady Minto had
given $100 to be divided Into prizes for
the best kept and planted flower gardens
in Ottawa; the work solely of the owner.
Also a gold medal for the best kept gar-
den in which outside help might be em-
ployed. The idea is a good one and will
boom our small garden planting. E.
Providence, R. I.
Trade Report.
Business with the cut-flower men
since Easter has been very fair, design
work this Spring constituting most of
the trade done. There were upwards of
200 pieces at a funeral of one of our
prominent citizens recently, representing
work by nearly every florist in town.
On account of the excessive rains in
April, roses and carnations have not
been over-plentiful. Sweet peas are in
abundance and meeting with a fair de-
mand. Bulbous stock is all sold out,
excepting a few lilies. Memorial Day
being close at hand everything in the
shape of a flower will be in demand,
judging from the number of orders al-
ready booked.
The bedding plant business of this city
is almost entirely handled by market
and grocery stores now-a-days at cut
prices. The growers, however, find it
more profitable to sell to such people,
as they buy in large quantities. A city
law recently passed requiring every ped-
dler to pay a license of f 25 per annum
for horse and wagon and $10 per annum
without will have some effect in keeping
many fakirs out of the flower business.
Club News.
At the regular meeting of the Flo-
rists and Gardeners' Club there was
held a carnation and rose exhibition.
The show was a success in every par-
ticular, excepting that there was not as
large a gathering of the florists as was
expected. E. D. Clark had the best col-
lection of roses and was awarded a cer-
tiflcate. S. J. Renter and F. Macrae
received honorable mention tor their
collections. In carnations S. J. Renter
was awarded first in crimson, pink,
darker than Scott, and yellow ; F. Ma-
crae, first in pink, lighter than Scott,
and best variegated. Forbest collection,
S. J. Renter first; second prize was
awarded the Standard Greenhouses (J.
Z. Dodge, manager). F. Macrae ex-
hibited a new seedling white carnation,
which scored 92 points.
M. Macnair is having his store painted
and adding new plate glass to door and
windows.
One of the old-time fiorists, Z. R. Corp,
died here last week.
F. A. Fairbrother, I regret to say, is

On account of Memorial Day falling on
Thursday, May 30, we would ask adver-
tisers to please let us have any contem-

Wednesday, May 29, for the issue of
June 1.
The fifth annual meeting of the Ameri-
can Park and Outdoor Art Association
will be held in Milwaukee, Wis., June 26-
28 next.
Owen Thomas, V. M. H., who had been
gardener to her late Majesty, Queen Vic-
toria at Frogmore, Windsor, for the past
12 years, has retired on a pension. He
:Will be succeeded by A. Mackellar, the
King's gardener at Sandringham, Nor-
ifolk.
Alex. MacLellan, formerly of Newport,
R. 1., has gone to Lancaster, Mass., to
take charge of the gardens and grounds

OUR SUPPLEMENT.
Recent Planting: at Glrart Avenue Bridge,
Fairmount Parlt, Philadelpliia.
The scene represented in our colored
Illustration this week besides being a
beautiful one, will be of more than usual
interest to our readers, when we say that
within a very recent period the ground
ou which the trees stand was entirely un-
improved, being but a piece of waste
land bordering the Schuylkill Kiver,
which lies to the right, just beyond the
trees. The ground slopes gradually to
the water, or to the retaining wall of it.
The distance between the path shown in
the picture and the water is about 200
feet at the bridge, but it widens consider-
ably as it gets further away.
Visitors who have not been in the
vicinity for a few years, can hardly be-
lieve that the scene of beauty they now
look down on, covers the uninviting spot
of but a few years ago.
The photograph shows but a small
portion of the whole — that in proximity
to the bridge. The planting- e:stends a
great distance, the ground covered broad-
ening' as it recedes. The improvement ot
the locality was made possible by the
flUing in of the lower part by dredgings
from the river, and the building of a re-
taining wall along the river front.
The trees and shrubs have made won-
derful growtli, and when viewed from
the bridge, present a pleasing picture.
The taller trees on the right are the Ca-
talpa speclosa, which is the western spe-
cies. It is preferable to the eastern one,
C. biguonioides, for many situations, on
account of its more tree-Uke growth, rep-
resented by its straight trunK. C. biguo-
nioides is the most suitable for a situa-
tion demanding a more spreading tree.
The latter kind is native to the locality,
being usually found not far from water
courses, though it does not demaud such
a location.
As will be seen in the illustration, there
is a great variety of other trees and
shrubs used. Even a few Carolina pop-
lars have been planted here and there.
Growing fast they make a display in less
time than any other tree, and give in a
short period what every one looks for iu
■Suniiuur— shade. Often this tree is simply
placcil tiMuporarily, to betaken out when
a less rapid growing, but more valuable
subject has to take its place.
-Imong the lower growing trees and
shrubs will be noticed the t'alifornia
pi;ivet,Ligustrum ovalifoUum. This.too,
is a quick growing subject, has bright
green, shining foliage, is very nearly ever-
greeu, and quite so in sheltered places.
There are also in the collection helmock,
spruce, willow, birch, dogwood, weige-
las, tamarisk, and a general collection of
shrubs, probably comprising iu one place
a greater variety of flowering shrubs and
trees than can be found in any other por-
tion of the park.
The commissioners of Fairmount Park
are justly proud ot their work in the
proximity of Girard Avenue Bridge, as
we are sure our readers will agree they
have cause to be. The bridge is the chief
avenue between the east and the west
park, spanning the Schuylkill; and, be-
sides this, leads almost directly to the
Zoological Garden, which is immediately
in the rear of the collection of trees and
shrubs spoken of. The portion of the
park covered by these plantings promises
to become a much frequented spot, as the
trees grow to give shade, and the view ot
the river is probably the best to be had
within the park's limits.
Joseph Meehan,
The Royal Horticultural Society ot
England is on the horns of a dilemma as
to how best to celebrate its centenary,
whether by the purchase of a new piece
of ground to be used tor experimental
and trial purposes in place of the old
Chiswick Gardens, which, it is said, are
yearly becoming more and more un-
BUited for such work, or to erect a per-
manent hall and offices tor the society in
London. The latter proposition seems
to be favored the most, and subscrip-
tions amounting to £3,000 have already
been tendered. The settlement of the
subject formed a basis for a lively debate
at a recent meeting ot the council ot the
society.

bers for the S. A. F. O. H. by August 1.
Inclosed please find $5, in payment of my
membership in the society for one year.
My mother, sister and myself expect to

falo convention iu August next.
Le Roy, Hi. L. L. Fry.
The foregoing is in response to the sub-
joined call which appeared iu last week's
Exchangk:
" The Florists' ExCHANGEwantsevery
member of the trade who is ambitious to
do good unto others, as well as ambi-
tious to reap the benefits to be derived
from a membership in the new society, to
join that society before its aunual meet-
ing, aud wishing to do all in its power to
assist iu building up a great aud noble
organization, calls for the enrollment
from among its readers by August 1,
next.of 100 new members tor the Society.
" Remember, we are calling for new
blood, men who have never been mem-
bers of the old society. Initiation fee, %5\
annual dues thereafter, $3. The fees can
be paid to the secretary at any time be-
fore .\ugust 1, but the sooner the better.
This act will make you a member of the

S. A. F. 0. H. and The Other Societies.
In our summary of the proceedings ot
the Washington meeting ot the S. X. F.
O. H., published in last week's issue, we
omitted the following important state-
ment relative to exliibitions: "It (the
exhibition) shall be in charge of a super-
intendent, who shall be appointed by the
Executive Board at its preliminary meet-
ing and shall be governed by such rules
aud regulations as the Executive Board
shall adopt. Judges shall be appointed
by the president aud secretary at least
one month before the exhibition."
Also under the heading of Registration
Sec. 2, the last sentence should read:
"The secretary shall as incorporate in
the annual printed report of proci'cilings
such reports of the co-operative societies
as may be furnished officially by the sec-
retaries of said co-operative societies."
The recent action of the S. A. F. O. H.,
under its new incorporation of endeavor-
ing to amalgamate the interests of itself
and "co-operative" societies seems to me
the proper thing, and such as should
have been begun long ago. The outlines
of iuterest,etc.,seem to be on correct lines.
The wording, or grammar, in paragraph
(2) seems a bit defective or contused, and
not quite clear all through as to which
society is referred to. Dan'l B. Long.
In my opinion the constitutional
amendments regarding the co-operative
societies and the S. A. F. O. H., will be of
great beneht to horticulture \n general,
particularly section 2, dealing with regis-
tration of new plants. The article covers
any difference of opiuion which may
arise, and should be endorsed by every
member ot the society.
Philadelphia. C. Eisele.
It was undoubtedly the intention of
the incorporators toframeaconstitulion
for theS. A. F. O. H. so liberal that ri-
valry by societies devoted to a specialty
in floriculture should be unthought ot.
It is earnestly hoped, and firmly believed
that each member ot these special socie-
fies will sooner or later become a mem-
ber of the National Society, and that in
this wa.v, the co-operative societies will
domlnateand mold ilspolicy and action.
Benjamin Durtee.
In reply to your communication 1 am
not in a position to express any decided
opinions on the "closer relations" scheme
of the S. A. F. and other societies, as this
will have to be a matter decided entirely
by those societies at their regular annual
meetings. Personally, I would like to see
the S. A. F. O. H. the strongest organiza-
tion of its kind in the world; and there
are certain features that it should have
in its charge exclusive of all other asso-
ciations, such as one central head for aU
registration, tor the adjustment of diffi-
culties between shippers and carriers, and
a number of other things ot that sort.
Albert M. Herr.
Replying to your esteemed favor asking
my opinion as to the co-operation of
other societies with the new S. A. F. O. H.
I believe that co-operation is all right,
and that the other bodies will readilj' co-
operate. As a member of the American
Carnation Society I believe tliat it, as
well as the Rose Society, should stand on
its own bottom ; that each should con-
duct its own business, pay its own debts,
hold its own separate shows, and co-
operate once a year by attending the
annual meeting of the S. A. F. O. H., and
having a good time, for lieretofore that
is all the S. A. F. O. H. has amounted to;
while the American Carnation Society
has forged ahead until to-day it stands
in the lead of any other horticultural so-
ciety in .\merica. Itmakes a grand show-
ing at all its meetings, and you get value
received for attending.
The experience I have had with flo-
rists' societies makes me think that the
S. A.. F. O. H. will receive very little sup-
port from said societies, as Art. 1, says
that 2,5 must be membei s of the S. \. F.
O. H.,and I would like to know where
you will find a society that can produce
that many outside possibly of New York
and Philadelphia. Mind you, I do not
want to throw cold wateron the S. A. F.
O. H.,as I am a member of it myself; but
I do say that the great heads will have
to make a much better showing in the
future than they have done iu the past, it
they expect to gather the American Car-
nation Society inside the fold.
E. G. GiLLETT.;;
I have read the report of the proceed-
ings at Wasingtonin connection with the
incorporation of the S. A. F. O. H. with
interest, and note the attempt to estab-
iish closer relations between the S. A. F.
O. H. and the various special societies
now existing. In my opinion, however,
co-operation along the lines proposed
will not lead up to an.v very extensive
benefits to the several societies, collec-
tively or individually, because the so-
called co-operation is more imaginary
than real. If we are to have a society
organized under a national cliarter, whj'
need we, or why must we have so many
special societies? 1 have no desire to be-
little these; they have done great work
for the particular flower in the interest
of which they were organized, but even
at the risk of being thought Utopian I
would ask, is not the time opportune,
and the day near at hand, that should
witness a grand amalgamation ot the
several societies into one of truly natiouai
scope ?
It seems tome from such a unity would
be realized a power for good in harmony
with the spirit and progressive tenden-
cies of the present time. We associate our-
selves for the advancement of horticul-
ture in every aspect, therefore why not
in unity organize along the lines of great-
est strength ?
A very pertinent remark concludes the
editorial article on page 5-44, viz.: "A
federation of annual fees and dues seems
to us a topic worthy of the most earnest
consideration by all."
I have had in mind since the cliarter
was granted to the S. A. F. O. H. a
grand national (U'ganization, having, it
need be, special branches or committees
in charge of all matters pertaining to the
rose, carnation, cbrysantiieiuum, etc.,
and though sentiment is against the
amalgamation, in tact, it would be a wise
and practical change. Its accomplisli-
ment wcmid be a powerful federation of
allied interests and it would help materi-
ally to swell the roll ot membership from
among the rank and Hie of the craft in
general, mauy of whom, by reason of
circumstances, cannot atfonl to join the
several existing societies and iu con-
sequence belong to none of them.

The Journal of the New York Botani-
cal Garden for May, 1901, is at hand.
We had hoped to see therein theexplana-
tion of the awarding of the Garden prize
of f .50 "for the best horticultural novelty
in plant, fruit, flower, or vegetable," to
Gerbera Jamesoni, to which attention
has been called previously. We are dis-
appointed, however. The report ot the
exhibition, at which the premium was
awarded, appearing in the Journal, is
copied, without credit, verbatim et liter-
atim, from American Gardening, which
informs the reading public that the afore-
said prize was awarded as reported,
"after much deliberation." We still are
waiting a brief summary ot this "much
deliberation." And as this has also been
asked by at least one exhibitorin the class
in question, the information will no
doubt be forthcoming soon.

The Plants at Bronx Park.
The following; communication appeared
in a recent issue of the New York Times:
A visit to Bronx Parle will arouse the
question whether those superb new green-
houses are intended tor the purpose of
growing plants or whether they are
merely a feature in the landscape. I am
ttuite awarethat a botanical garden can-
not be managed upon the same principles
as an establishment purely ornamental
f>r purely commercial, but the melan-
choly condition of the plants in the above-
mentioned houses is so lamentable that
one cannot help wondering where the re-
sponsibility belongs.
^Apparently the living plants were being
turned into a hortus siccus suitable for
the museum, but quite out of place in a
greenhouse. In the attempt to grow
widely separated members of the same
family, close together, (as they are in
systematic botany but not in nature,) I
saw a native of the Seychelles, which had
given up the ghost in the effort to live
with its relatives from the temperate
zone, while East In<lian pitcher plants in
a light, airy, and dry location, were obvi-
ously begging for the moist, close air and
high temperature to which they are en-
titled, their plump pitchers shriveling
and their characteristic growth dwind-
ling under the unsuitable surroundings.
;1 never go through such a place with-
out longing for a Society for the Preven-
tion of t 'ruelty to Plants, and my pleasure
in the beautiful park wasquite dampened
by the thought of my suffering little
friends under glass, who can only plead
their cause by dying. Should we not
give the care of living plants to the man
who can grow them, and let the botanist
preside at the post mortem ?
Plant Lover.
[It would be very unfortunate, if, at the
outset of its career, what promised to be
the most beneDeial and educational fac-
tor in horticultural development in
America, should be crippled by the inca-
pacity of those to whom the care of the
stock is intrusted, as well as by the lack
of eSicient supervision. With the ample
and elegant structures afforded there is
really no excuse for the plants contained
therein being in the miserable condition
mentioned by the correspondent of the
New York Times, the truth of whose
assertion as regards a great many of the
plants, at least, a visit to the green-
houses in Bronx Park will convincingly
demonstrate. — Ed.]
BOOKS RECEIVED.
What is a Kinder c. arten? By
George Hansen, Landscape Architect,
Berkeley, Cal.: Publishers, D. I'. Elder
and Morgan Shepard, San Francis-
co.,
The author answers the question
which stands as a title to his little vol-
ume as follows: " The playground of the
child; the home of the mother; the bat-
tleHelil of man; the anchor ground of pa-
triotism." The work, however, deals
with the word kindergarten in its literal
rendering: " The Children's Garden," and
the plea is made for the establishment of
such an instructive and inviting spot
around every home, and in every park.
Mr Hansen enumerates the list of sub-
jects to be planted that will most interest
the child, ami in a very practical manner
accompanied with various plans for lots of
varying size,tells how the.se plants may be
dispersed and treated to appear to best
advantage. He says; " It may be taken
for granted that flowers which are not
visited by insects are of no interest to a
child," and he attaches the greatest im-
portance, for the purpose in view, to
those flowers which have faces, as it
were, such as the pansy, violet, sweet
pea, etc.
i;in these days when Nature Study in
our schools is receiving its well-deserved
consideration, the book before us will be
found of great practical assistance to
teachers; and to others who desire to ai<l
in the propaganda of a love for the
"purest of human pleasures" — garden-
ing.

Florists' Exchange. Price $1.00
The Herendeen Manufacturing Com-
pany has favored us with a copy of the

specialties.

The FLORISTS' Exchange.
Cyclamen for Seed.
(Read before the Chirasn Florists' Clab, May
1 1 , by Pa III Kopanka, )
In response to the request made by the
chib at the last meeting, I have prepared
the following notes on Cyclamen persi-
cum. lam to say something about the
culture of cyclamen for seed in an exten-
sive way. My experience is that the best
time to sow so as to get strong plants
for producing seed is duringthemonthsof
August and September.
floors in rthe7houses"shouId be 'made of
bricli.the supports of the.benches of iron,
tlie bottoms of the benches of slate. The
slate benches when watered stay longer
moist, and cool the air, so the floor when
syringed sta.vs wet longer, and also cools
the air and gives the cyclamen a more
favorable atmosphere. Give the cycla-
men the most natural cultivatiou possi-
ble. The ventilation from the top is pre-
ferred to thatfrom below. Water heating
is also preferred to that by steam.
Place the flats of plants on the slate
Fifty-foot House of Hydrangeas and Standard Crimson Rambler Rosee.
Grown by A. Schultheis, for Easter, 1901.
Sowing.
Prepare soil containing two parts of
leaf mold, one part of peat and one part
of very clean sand. Mix well and sift
through a fine sieve. Talie shallow pans,
clean tliem thoroughly, and fill to the top
with the above mentioned soil. Press
very liglitlyand evenly and .sow the seeds
evenly, but not too thiclily. Cover the
seeds with a very light layer of this same
soil by talking the sieve and sifting tlie
soil over the seeds. Press lightly again
and water with a fine rose. Put on top
of each pan a sheet of blotting paper,
and from now on water only on top of
tlie blotting paper. The blotting paper
on top of the seeds has the advantage of
lieeping the pans evenly moist; the seed-
lings will come up more evenly, and there
is no danger of overwatering or getting
green moss or fungus on the soil.
It you have first-class seeds they will
sprout in three to four weelis. Label each
pan with the name of the variety and the
(late of sowing of seed, and keep all pans
of the same variety together so that no
mistake can occur when pricking out be-
gins. Place the pans in a well-shaded
house near the glass. The temperature in
August or September is hardly controlla-
ble. Give plenty of ventilation, but avoid
draughts and be careful not to allow the
plants to get too dry. During the hot
weather examine the seedlings twice a
d ay to see whether or not they need water.
After three weeks' time take off the
l)lotting paper. By this time the seeds
will begin to have little bulbs and the
first leaf will be formed. Ite careful now
to water only with a fine rose on tlie
sprinkling can when necessary. After the
little bulbs have made two leaves, and
the bulbs are fully out of the soil, prepare
shallow fiats about two inches in depth.
Before using the flats, whitewash them.
Have plenty of holes in the bottom for
drainage, and put a very light layer of
moss on the bottom. Fill the boxes with
tlie same soil as was used in the pans,
only add one part of very old rotted cow-
manure which looks almost like earth
pressed lightly. Begin to prick out the
plantlets from the seed pans, planting in
rows one-half inch apart and have the
rows one inch apart. When all plants
are pricked out place them in a house de-
voted only to cyclamen.
Cyclamen Houses.
The houses should be low, two bench
structures, from two to three hundred
feet in length. The longer the houses the
easier it is to have good air in them. The
benches. If slate benches be not availa-
ble, put the flats on the coarse gravel
which has been placed on the other
benches. Leave the plants in the flats
until they have touched each other's
leaves and no ground can be seen. It is
of greater advantage to prick out the
young plants in flats first, and then Into
little pots, because the young plants out
of the flats are much stronger, have
larger bulbs and more and stronger roots.
When planted in 21/2-inch pots the.y will
more quickly take hold of the soil and
form a stronger bulb.
By this time the young plants will have
reached the month of October or Novem-
ber. If the temperature was below 50
degrees in October, firing should begin,
to keep the temperature at 50 degrees at
night, because August and September
being very warm, it is very easy to check
the young plants by a low temperature,
and then all kinds of diseases will take
hold as the young plants are very tender.
Keep this temperature during November
and December. On bright, sunny days
syringe the plants lightly over the foli-
age; keep the walks well dampened and
give plenty of ventilation; but avoid any
direct draughts.
About the beginning of .lanuary begin
to pot the little plants into 2V4-inch pots
with the same soil as that used in the
flats, only leaving out the peat and add-
ing one part of well rotted sods and sift-
ing through a coarser sieve. Place on the
slate benches, pot against pot; raise the
temperature to 55 degrees and water
onI.v with the watering can. Shift the
plants from a'/o-inch to .3-inch when well
rooted through.
It will now be about the month of
March. Prepare the hotbeds for the cy-
clamen out-of-doors. Make a good layer
of horse manure, let the manure get good
and hot; take off all the sash, permit all
ammonia to escape, put .on a layer of
very louse soil, about six inches tbick.and
put them close to the glass. Plunge the
3-inch potted cyclamen in rows, the space
between pots being from two to three
inches. Put on the sash, and shade the
glass by whitewashing. Very close atten-
tion to the hotbeds is now required.
When the sun is out, give plenty of air by
alternating the sash. During the dark
and damp weather give a small crack of
air. By this treatment the young plants
will make a vigorous and compact
growth, with large leaves on short stalks.
It at night heavy frost should appear,
coverall the sash with boards; if the
weather should be unsuitable in March
prepare everytliing a month later.
' When the plants are well rooted in the
.3-inch pots, repot into 4-inch with same
soil as that in the former pots, only add-
ing a very little bonemeal and coarse
saiid instead of flue sand. Plunge again
into hotbeds without any bottom lieat,
again near to the glass. Now the plants
will have reached May or June. Elevate
the sash about two feet above the plants.
Make a shade above the elevated sash b.v
drawing a white cloth from one end of
the frame to the other. From now on
you may be liberal in watering^ and if to
be carefully done use the half-inch hose.
Syringe two to three times a day, both
plants and surroundings. When again
the -i-inch pot plants are thoroughly
rooted through, shift them into 5-inch
pots with a preparation of soil of half leaf
mold , half old sods, one part old rotted
cow manure, some coarse gravel and a
little bone meal. This to be chopped up
and well mixed. But it is not necessary
to shift any more. Plunge in hotbeds as
described above, but leave oft the sash
entirely, and shade only with white cloth
from 9 o'clock in the morning to-t o'clock
in the afternoon. If heavy rain is in sight
put on the sash.
The'last shift, into 6-inch pots, will be
in October or November. Before shifting
select all the strongest and best plants
from each variety from which seeds are
to be raised. It the 5-inch pot plants are
well rooted through — I mean, if there is
no more nourishment left — shift them into
6-inch pots, so that half of the bulb is
above and the other half below the
ground. All the shitting should be done
in this way.
Be careful to insure good drainage by
putting the broken crocks in the bottom
of pots, with still the same soil as in the
5-inch pots; but adding a larger portion
of well rotted cow-manure. The nights
are now getting cold and the plants al-
ready well hardened off; it is not advisa-
ble to leave them out in frames any
longer. Before placing them in the houses
have these thoroughly clean. This being
done, begin to place the 6-inch pots on
benches, giving each pot plenty of room,
so that when the flowers form the seed-
The temperature at night will now be
40 to 45 degrees; in daytime, during dark,
cold weather, 50 degrees, with the admis-
sion of very little air. In bright, sunny
weather, syringe the walks and foliage,
but be very careful not to syringe the
flowers. The watering of the 6-inch pot
plants should be done with the greatest
care; only a watering can must be used,
and do not apply cold water. Have a
barrel or two at the end of each house
and fill the barrel at night with water,
for use the following day, so that the
water is of the house temperature. Well-
grown cyclamen plants ought to have,
when in 5 or 6-inch pots, 100 to 200
flowers per pot. Never syringe cyclamen
when in full flower.
It fumigating is necessary, it should be
done before the cyclamen are in full
bloom.
It is advisable when the weather is
warmer to partition off each variety by
drawing white cloth through the space
left between each variety, so that no in-
sects or bees get the pollen of one variety
on to that of the other, and it is a good
thing to have white cloth or mosciuito
bars over the ventilators for the same
reason. In this manner you can surely
keep each variety true.
When all the stalks and seed pods are
hanging down, help them to get the right
place aronnd the pots, and, if necessary,
elevate the pots by putting them on top
of Inverted 5-inch pots. It will perhaps
be necessary to change the temperature
a few degrees higher or lower, which has
to be judged by tlie growth of the plants.
In April or May the seeds will be get-
ting, or already are, ripe, which depends
upon the weather and sun. Watch care-
fully to see it a pod here and there is
bursting; when tliis happens the harvest
begins. Cut oft all the stalks near the
bulb, spread these on a cloth on a table
in a dry place where the sun strikes it,
and the pods will all spring open and the
seeds lie on the cloth. There ma.v be a
number which will not open by them-
selves, so help them a little by rubbing
them between the hands. Separate the
seeds from the stalks and empty pods. In

pods and begin to hang down they will
not lie on each other and commence to
rot, and that the sun can also strike all
the pods to ripen the seeds. When the
plants come in full flower and the 6-inch
pot stock is again well rooted through,
give them once each week a feeding of
dissolved guano or li<iuid manure; this
feeding will help them to develop larger
flowers andjalso larger seeds.
separating the seeds the largest ones will
be first-class, the next largest second-
class and the smallest, third-class. 1
always prefer to buy first-class seeds be-
cause they ."give the best plants.
I will speak sometime later of tlie sow-
ing of cyclamen in February instead of
August or September, and of propagat-
ing cyclamen only from eyes.

Drecr's Nurseries at Riverton, N. J.
To any one who hasnot seen the estab-
lishment of Henry A. Dreer, Inc., at River-
ton, N. J., in the past few years, the ex-
tent to wliicli it has attainerl in the inter-
vening period, both as regards the space
covered by green liouse glass, and the
acreage devoted to outdoor cultivation,
is soinetliing tndy marvelous. A visit
liere is at all times fraught with the
greatest interest: but one made during
the Spring months affords the visitor
some eouceptiiin of the amount of Inisi-
ness done by the concern. The extensive
pacliing sheds are taxed to their utmost,
and busy worliers are hustling faron into
tlie night to get out the orders.
The demand for hardy herbaceous per-
enuials has been enormous, and at this
establishment is to be found perhaps the
largest collection of these plants in the
country, and only of the choicest and
most satisfactory kinds. Aquatics, too,
have been extensively called for. To meet
the call tor these now popular subjects a
large tract of ground has been reclaimed,
and several new ponds installed. The
surrounding area has been planted with
Japanese iris, a most extensive collec-
tion, and one that will present a truly
magnificent sight when the plants are in
bloom. Hollyhocks have been in great
demand also, as well as Clematis panicu-
lata.
A few plants of the now notable Ger-
bera .Jameson! were observed. Regard-
ing this subject, Mr. Eisele's remarks, as
follows, will no doubt prove interesting:
"I have known this plant since 1897,
having first seen it in flower with Haage
& Schmidt, at Erfurt, Germany. At that
time I procured all the plants that could
be had, and have since been buying up
every plant that has been offered at a
reasonable price. I have also bought
seed, whenever It w^as offered, and have
not succeeded in getting a single grain to
germinate. I consider it a beautiful
flower, and a plant that will find a place
with the very careful amateur or private
gardener: but I doubt whether it will
ever become very popular on account of
requiring special care and treatment, and
the difllculty of propagation. Our four
years' labor has resulted in producing
"less than two dozen plants."
Inside the greenhouses the "forests"
of palms, in the healthiest possible condi-
tion, rivet the attention. Kentias con-
tinue great favorites, and the other stock
grown is also much in demand. Some
large specimens of Cocos Bonetti were
observed: these make excellent subjects
for lawn decoration, being among the
hardiest of the palms for this purpose.
A new importation of 7,000 .Vraucaria
excelsa had just been received in elegant
shape. A fern which is thought highly of
is Nidus avis multilobata.
Several new cannas are being tried, as
well as the Colens thyrsoideus.
The new golden pandanus, P. Sanderi,
continues to give immense satisfaction.
Regarding its recent exhibition at the
Rronx Park (N. Y.) show, Mr. Eisele com-
uiented in the following terms: "While,
like everybody else who has a plant to
show at an exhibition, I was disappointed
at not receiving the award, I am not in
the least discouraged. I can heartily
sympathize with the men who are called
upon to judge a class for plants which in-
cludes anything from a cabbage or a
water melon to a priceless orchid. Not-
withstanding the decision of the gentle-
men, who no doubt did their duty to the
best of their abilit.v, I do not for a mo-
ment fear but what the Pandanus San-
deri, when once placed on the market,
will receive all the support that a plant
can receive on its own merits. I think
tliat comparing Gerbera Jamesoni with
1". Sanderi was something like entering
in the same class, at a country fair, a
Yorskhire pig and a fast trotting horse.
" Pandanus Sanderi will not be placed
on the market for a long time yet: but
the florists of the country will have an
opportunity of judging of its merits as it
will be shown at all the leading exhibi-
tiions." It is when placed alongside of
P. Veitchii that the great beauty of P.
Sanderi is best demonstrated; and in this
manner it will be exhibited in the future.

tural press of America that little or
nothing has been done to improve the
Bermuda Easter lily. Unfortunately for
Bermuda, the farmers have experienced
two of the worst Winters for wind and
rain that have been known within the
memory of the oldest inhabitant, and
but tor which the great improvement

We send you by tliis mail photographs

that as so much hatl been said in the

ture, we would photogriiiih soniv of our
fields. The picture was takpii iifti*r Eas-

just as good as those shown in the pho-

made during the last three years would
have been universally known. As it is,
it is easy for anyone visiting the lily
fields to see the great strides made in
this direction.
I forward you a photograph of a field
of Lilium Harrisii, belonging to Thad-
deus Trott, of "Rockmore." The lilies
therein depicted are the outcomeof what
was one of the worst diseased stocks
three or four years ago in Bermuda: but
by carefully selecting the planting bulbs,
has not done so remarkably well with
some growers, there are others who have
been very successful with-it ; and there is
no doubt that when once understood
thoroughly, it will be the red rose for the
average florist to grow. One very suc-
cessful grower of Liberty attributes his
success to a very liberal supply of water
all through the Summer months, never
allowing the plants to get nearly so dry
as is the rule with the teas between wa-
terings. Keeping it thus on the moist

by judicious cleaning and immersing, by
spraying the growing plants and annual-
ly changing the plot for planting, he has
now one of the healthiest fields of lilies
in Bermuda. Other growers are moving
along these lines with very satisfactory
results. There are a few others indiffer-
ent as to what they plant or what they
dig. The purchasers are to be blamed

and stand still, as has been the experience
of some growers who have tried the va-
riety the past season.
Carnations. — Houses from which it Is
expected to cut flowers for a tew weeks
yet will need some extra attention. In
the first place tlie glass must receive a
sliglit shading: the plants thenisolves
must be gone over, and all unnecessary
growth reuuived; tlie .surface of the beds
must be kept clean, and reil spider kept
down. If tliese details are looked after
and all the ventilation possible be given
night and day, the plants will produce
fairly good flowers tor some time yet.
Memorial Day occurs this week and
there will be, as there always is, a grand
rush to have as much beddng as possible
done before that day. Before the rush of
planting is effected set aside all the stock
plants needed, and if they can be plante<l
in the home garden so much the better:
then there will be little danger of their
being sold. Having a good healthy lot
of stock plants in one's own garden in
the Fall ensures good plants tor another
year. This fact is so important that it
should not be overlooked. To sell the
best of everything, and save the culls to
propagate from, is to handicap one's self
very much indeed.

Florlbt.
As to the extent that the exhibits
in the horticultural and floricultural de-
partments will affect or benefit the trade,
or otherwise, it i.s a bit early to more
than forecast results. Largeexiientlitures
have been made on the part of (lie man-
agement and also b.v exhibitors, and
some telling and noticeable results will,
no doubt show, and object lessons of
value come before the observer, in some
cases, the outcome of improper judgment
in operations attempted.
In certain classes of exhibits, some un-
usual effects will be accomplished. Super-
intendent of floriculture, Wm. Scott,
states that, to his knowledge, in point of
variety, the display of conifers, hardy
trees and shrubs, is the most comprehen-
sive ever brought together, while the
showing of herbaceous plants in conjunc-
tion with shrubbery and climbers, will
be unusual. The atguatic display will in-
clude the newest hybrid nymphseas, in
an extensive showing.
Effective results in planting and use of
materials may be noticed, especially in a
new feature that now promises success,
which is in the utilization of .luniperus
Virginiana (red cedar) for display use
growing in tubs, hence in portable sliape.
Though transported some hundreds of
miles (from New .Jersey), these trees,
which range from I.') to 25 feet in heiglit,
wintered well and are holding their
foliage and vigor.
Some tulip beds, in expanses quite be-
yond the common, demonstrated the
extreme grandeur to be attained in large
niiisses <it these flowers: the two large
beds of the F. R. Pierson Co. being exam-
ples both in color displa.v and, so to
speak, the effect of vastness.
Defective featiu'es were also noticed
in the plantings. As notabl.v showing to
the best effect, the surface of tulip beds in
construction should be considerabl.v
raised or rounded above the common
contour of the surrounding lawn surface.
The pijintings made here were, almost
without exceptif)!!, on flat surfaces luit
slightly raised above the surrounding
levels.
Some otherwise good plantings lacked
effect or strength in arrangement in tlie
central ptu-tions of such beds being given
to the lighter and delicate cttlors. with
darker shades placed in the outer iiarts,
in cases even to the borders. Thus the
strong feature of effect in these flowers,
that of color, wtis notably weakenetl.
.\s in a tormall.v arrangeil bouquet of va-
ricolored flowers, for instance, the
stronger or deeiier colors rightly belong
in tlic center.
.Vlso, in that, tinlike the case with some
cliisses of bediling and other sliowy
plants, a lied of slu>wy bulb flowers as
tulips or hyacinths, placed aronmi a tree
is not jiroductive of iiarinonizing results.
'I'iie finished contour <uid effect is aiight
but graceful, and the bulb blooms seem
to lose their rouniled, showy sliape.
One ma.v notice, too, that owing to
their spikelike forms, li.vaclnthK actuall.v
need grass Iiordered settings to jirojierly
bring out tlicir beaut.v. 'i'he merit of
some extended jilantings of lliese, by the
nianagcinent, was almost wlioll.v lost
throiigli gravel walk siirroumlings In-
stead of grass.
Also, that in a lawn effect of hyacinths
In beds, especially when solid hues of all
are colors, set in grtiss bordered berls a
ileep blue or purple shows rather the
strongest and most decided effe<'t, the
azure tint against the green seeming to
emphasize the effect of both.

Exhibition of Tender Ro«oa-May 20 (Ex-
position Opening: Dayj t j 35.
The schedule included 15 classes, 12
of which called for a vase of 25 blooms
of each variety designated; an exhibit of
varieties introduced in 1900 and 1901, a
general display of teas and hybrid teas,
and the same of noisette and tender
climbing roses. The three classes calling
for Mme. Caroline Testoiit. I.ndy Doro-
tliea and La France, i\]xi] that cif general
display of noisette and dim licrs.did not fill
by exliibits.
The management incline to the method
of merit as a guage for awards, rather
than competitive displays. W. T. Bell,
of Franklin, Pa., judged the blooms, the
awards on which are not announced as
yet.
The exhibits were staged on tables cir-
cled about the large statuary group in
the center of the lldrticnltiiral building.
The group in quo.sticin has lately been
closely surrounded by a tier arrange-
ment of specimen palms and ferns, the
exhibit of Henry A. Dreer.
Exhibitors in the distinct named or
commercial variety classes, included the
following firms:
W. J. Lawrence, Mimico, Ont. : S. .1.
Renter, Westerly, R. I.; Palmer & ,Son,
Buffalo; C. T.Guenther, Hamburg, N.Y.;
Peter Crowe, Utiea, N. Y.; Lakeview
Rose Gardens, .Jamestown, N. Y.; and J.
H. Dunlop, Toronto.
In varieties introduced in 1900 and
1901, exhibits were made by the Floral
Exchange, Inc., Philadelphia-, with Queen
of Edgeley, and by the American Rose Co.,
the latter concern showing five blooms
of white Golden Gate. This variety looks
promising of appearance. The Queen of
Edgely blooms, while of general ((uality,
showed a soft center unfitting them for
mucii Avarm weather use.
The general display class was represent-
ed with liberally filled vases by the fol-
lowing exhibitors: B. Porraiice, Dor-
ranceton, Pa., with Mme. Cusin, Liberty,
Bridesmaid, American Beauty, Sarah
Nesbitt, Meteor, Bride and Golden Gate.
The quality of the blooms was good.
W. F. Kasting, Buffalo, staged seven
vases that included Meteor, Bride, Brides-
maid, American Beauty and Kaiserin .Au-
gusta Victoria, ordinai'y in (luality. The
Lakeview Rose Gardens displayed'Bride,
Bridesmaid, Meteor, .American Beauty,
Golden Gat?, quality medium. J. H.
Dunlop's stock looked quite the best in
American Beauty that may be termed
fine, or extra. Bride and Bridesmaid of
extra quality. Mme. Hoste, very good,
Mrs. .T. Pierpont Morgan good. Meteor
with fair blooms, but foliage of "off"
(|uality. His white BougSre and Mme.
Cusin were indifferent.
Of the distinct classes, 2.5 blooms of a
variety, flowers of fair quality were
shown by W. .1. Lawrence, in Bride,
Bridesmaid and American Beauty; S. J.
Reuter, in fair Bride and Golden Gate,
with American Beauty of good grade;
Palmer & Son, in Bride, Bridesmaid and
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, all of medium
quality. G. T. Guenther showed Bride,
Bridesmaid, and Kaiserin Augusta Vic-
toria, all so excellent that they might
almost be termed extra.
Peter Crowe exhibited Bride, Brides-
maid, Golden Gate and Liberty. They
looked a bit like an "oft crop " cutting,
and thin.
J. H. Dunlop's included in this class
Meteor that were only fair, Liberty and
Perle des Jardinsof good qualitv. Ameri-
can Beauty, Bride and Bridsniaid, that
could readily be termed extra, and ap-
parently the leaders In the whole exhibit.
His Souvenir de VVootton were hardly
fair.
The Lakeview Rose Gardens showed
very good Bride and Bridesmaid, and
fair blooms of American Beauty, with -t-
foot stems; Meteor of large size, strong-
stemmed, but flowers showing too much
of the " blue " tinge.
George E. Fancourt, Wilkesbarre, Pa.,
sent in a complimentary display of 100
Meteor that were remarkably good for
the time of year.
Arthur J. Frost, Toronto, exhibited a
new variety of calla, claimed to be unusu-
ally prolific.
A. Herrington, Madison, N. .!., had a
good sized holder of Gerbera Jamesoni,
(Barberton daisy) from South Africa; a
fanciful novelty or oddity in a daisy
formed flower, single, SV^ inches in diame-
ter; in color a deep yellowish red.
;The Floiham Farms, Madison, N. J.,
sent a large bunch of carnation Miss Au-
drej' Campbell — a self-colored lemon, on
long, firm stems, caly.x very firm, the best
blooms measuring 3 inches in diameter.
The Lakeveiw Rose Gardens made a
special display of commercial carnations
of very fair quality in variety, and a half
dozen vases of sweet peas in variety, in
quality most exceptional.
The very large crowd in attendance on
Monday duly appreciated the display of
roses, and it was a happy thought to
set it forward to that day.
Among exhibits out of doors in bulb
blooms, a .5-foot round bed in H. A.
Dreer's exhibit of Gesneriana, single late
tulip, in a pleasing deep red shade, is very
pretty. The flowers of the single late tu-
lip, P.outon d'Or, are a pretty yeUow in
color, but small in size. The great tulip
beds of F. R. Pierson Co., showing in early
kinds, have seen their best.
In out door effects made by the Expo-
sition proper, a pleasing sight now is the
pans.T bedding, at the south end of the
grand fountain basin. These are set in a
grass-grown strip, 75 feet wide, that half
encircles a large statuary-built fountain
of intricate design. The pansy beds are
cut out in floral and arabesque patterns.
Quite conspicuous are two eight scallop-
point forms, 16 feet across, surrounding
some cupid statue figures, the massed
portions being dark black shades, bor-
dered in turn with yellow. A number of
6 feet diameter grass-surrounded clumps
of light blue vie most strongly with any
of the mixture effects.
Cypress and bays in tubs and boxes,
are set about in the open courts in a for-
mal wa.v, and at points so treel.y as to
suggest avenues. To our mind, more
grouping of these, instead of such scat-
tered style, would be better.
In the mall mollis azaleas, a bit weak
of effect in theirlemon and orangecolors,
make a central slope setting in ivy bor-
dered beds, flanked by beds of rhododen-
drons not yet in flower.
Some bordering in cypress and rhodo-
dendrons and other evergreens set off the
sides and entrances to leading buildings,
to good effect. Vidi.
Greenwood Cemetery, N. Y.
The planting of graves in this beautiful
"City of the Dead" is more l)ackward
this year than has been known for a long
time. The florists located in the imme-
diate neighborhood are experiencing a
very dull period. Whether this is occa-
sioned by the late .Spring weather prevail-
ing or is brought about by other causes,
we cannot say. While the season is some-
what late, it is nevertheless ideal weather
for planting operations, and the ceme-
tery authorities are pushing along their
bedding out work as fast as possible. Al-
ready many beds of intricate design are
finished, and others under way.
The managers of the cemetery will this
year enforce u rule made last season, but
not early iMioiigli to apjily it, tci the effect
that no plants or cuttings shall be taken
from the grounds, after such stock has
been once planted there. Previously, flo-
rists could rely upon getting back their
stock from the cemetery when the season
vras over, and this was a great conveni-
ence to all. It seems, however, that this
privilege has been violated by parties
who have not adhered strictly to taking
cuttings from stock they themselves had
planted, and have been guilty of taKing
cuttings from that of other men's plant-
ing; sometimes not even waiting until
the season was over before doing so.
While the ruling seems rather severe, we
think that the management has adopted
a good system and that it will be a bene-
fit to the florists operating in this ceme-
tery.
One rarely sees in the cemetery any of
the newer varieties of flowering plants,
partiiularly geraniums, and on being
cpH'Stioned, florists say that to put any
new variety out would only mean the
lose of the stock, as they would never get
it back. Now that the cemetery manage-
ment is to take care of that part there
will be no danger of the stock being lost,
and florists can plant what they choose
without fear of losing it.
Located on Fort Hamilton Avenue,
and near to the entrance of Greenwood,
are thegrowing establishments of several
large florists. .lames Weir, Jr., & Sons,
have about 100,000 feet of glass includ-
ing sash, etc., under the care of Louis
Kuhne. Two large houses and a bulb
I shed, the latter 20 x 80 feet, were built
last year, and further additions are con-
templated this year. Bedding plants are
grown in enormous quantity. For in-
stance, of alternanthera upwards of 200,
000 are cultivated; of geraniums, 55,000
and about the same number of coleus.
A large cut flower business is also done,
and some of the glass is devoted to plant
growing for this purpose; .33,000 bulbs
of various sorts were forced during the
past season, and 22,000 chrysanthemums
grown.
The stock of bedding plants is in prime
condition, the batches of acalypha and
President "S'ictor Dubois geranium being
especially grand.
J. Condon's establishment is under the
charge of F. Wiltshire, and the green-
houses as well as the nursery grounds
are in good shape. As cuttings can no
longer be taken from the plants in the
cemetery, it has been necessary to utilize
more land in the nursery, and the same is
already filled with stock plants of the
various kinds.
E. Shannon's range of glass is used tor
both cut flower and plant purposes, sev-
eral houses being filled with roses and
carnations only.
Near the Fifth .\venue entrance to
Greenwood, A. Wollmer's greenhouses,
on 25th Street, are filled with well grown
plants, some nicebougainvillea being con-
spicuous in the show house.
A Unique Bouquet.
When stopping at Santa Barbara, May
10, Mrs. McKinley was offered a bou-
quet by Dr. Franceschi of the Southern
California Acclimatizing Association,
that was composed of flowers from
Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippines,
their names and the respective countries
being printed in gold on three ribbons of
the national colors. Osteomeles Anthy-
lidifolia, the "keule" of the natives, rep-
resented Hawaii; it has minute silvery
pinnate leaves and loose sprays of white,
hawthorn-like flowers, exhaling the per-
fume of vanilla. Porto Rico was repre-
sented by Passiflora ctcrulea, delicately
colored and delicately scented; the
Philippines b,y the gorgeous flowers of
Bauhinia variegata, looking much like a
bright colored cattleya, and finely scented
too. Such a tributecould be had only at
.Santa Barbara, whereplants from almost
every climate thrive to perfection to-
gether.
Experiments witli the (^'hina aster made
by the Hatch Experiment Station of the
Massachusetts Agricultural College have
revealed the fact that this plant is very
generall}' affected by a number of serious
troubles, most prominent of which is a
disease of a peculiarly obscure nature.
No organism of any kind appears to be
the cause of it, yet it has a very charac-
teristic as well as destructive effect. The
most recent results Indicate that the ab-
normal development is due to a disturb-
ance of assimilative (metobolic) functions
of the plant.

The Afsrket.
The trade in eut flowers has been
very unsatisfactory to all concerned dur-
ing the last live or six days. Lilac is
iKililin^ full sway at present, much to the
■ h'tviuii'nt of all other flowers. The
picuuiiient retail stores are using lilac for
ilionrative purposes, and the street ven-
tliirs are handling it almost exclusively.
II comes into market by the barrel or
Date. Large bunches can be had for 25c.
nr less, and a little of it goes a long
wa.Y. The lilac season is of but short
iliiration, however, and from the retail-
iis' standpoint the flowers are a very
\\ fli'ome addition to those now at com-
mand.
There is a ver.v large percentage of mil-
ilrwed foliage onthe roses coming in, and
nil tliis account some pheuonienall.v low
juices liave been recorded. Slips contain-
ing extras, number ones and twos, have
limught 50c. per 100. American Heauty,
Liberty, Souvenvir du President Carnot
and other roses have diminished in value
since our last report; in fact, the demand
is so erratic that no fixed price obtains.
(lut door lil.v of the valley is in and sell-
ing at from 50c. to 75c. per loo. The
price of carnations lias fallen and the
flowers are selling very poorly. Narcis-
sus Horsfieldii, though about over, is
hanging Are from day to day, being-
offered at 50e. per 100.
Cattleyas are down to 20c. and 30c.,
and they do not all sell at these figures.
Pausies, sweet peas, myosotis, margue-
rites and Narcissus poeticus are all very
pientiful, with but a slow demand.
Auction Sales.
Wm. Elliott & Sons havebeen selling at
auction huge quantities of bedding and
ornamental plants, also consignments of
hardy herbaceous stock. The auction
season is in full swing, and there seems
to be a, fairl.v good demand tor almost
everything offered.
At (Jeary & Co.'s rooms a quantity of
imported evergreens (the last for this sea-
son) was oflered at the Tuesday's sale;
also a full line of bedding plants, includ-
ing a consignment of the new pink gera-
nium, Paunpeck.

kept down the supply of cut flowers con-
siderably, otherwise a glut would have
resulted; for, although not so much stock
is coming in, there is too much for the de-
maud. At present it looks as if higher
prices would likely prevail for next week,
on Memorial Da.v, for all cut flowers.
There are no pieonies insight now; while
last .year there was a large quantity on
the market for that day.

Dallas, Texas.
Taste, elegance and beauty, but partly
describe the dining room of the Oriental
Hotel as arranged May .3, for the banquet
in honor of the visitors from New Y'ork,
who have almost finished their tour of
the state. Dallas did herself proud and
it is doubtful if a more successful and bet-
ter arranged feast was ever before carried
out in the Southwest. The decorations
were elaborate and complete. The tables
were beautified with rare and choice clus-
ters of American Beauty, Bridesmaid,
and Golden Gate roses, carnations and
sweet peas, the perfume of which was en-
joyed by all. Wild smilax draped the
walls, near the top of which were fes-
toons of blue and white drapery which
also extended in a graceful manner from
the center of the room so as to screen the
ceiling. Countless numbers of different
lined miniature incandescent lights clus-
tered at each chandelier and peeped forth
from a rich arrangement of ferns and smi-
lax. A series of floral displays made up of
potted plants extended from oneend of the
hall to the other and if possible increased
the effect of the whole. The decorations
were arranged by the Texas Seed and
Floral Company, F. W. Beach, superin-
tendent.

Trade Items.
Flowers of all kinds are very jilenti-
ful. Both carnations and roses are in
full crop with most of the florists, and it
the present wet, cold, raw weather con-
tinues, flowers are liable to be scarce
Memorial Day, as usual. I.,ilac and most
outdoor shrubs will be over, excepting
snowballs and pa?onies. There will be
plenty of longiflorum lilies on hand.
Carnations bring 35c., roses $1,
outdoor lily of the valley 50c., lilies
$1.25 and lilac 25c. per dozen. The
weather is holding back outside planting,
and as everything will come with a rush
it will be diflicult to get cemetery bed-
ding done in so short a time.
Eli Cross has a magnificent crop of cu-
cumbers on. He built two new houses
early in the Spring, in order to plant all
six houses to cucumbers.

Market Repoit,
Business ivmains very dull, with
little prospect of any improvemeut uutil
Memorial Day. The sujiply of stock has
lessened and from present indiuaticnis a
shorta;;e will be experienced foi- tlie occa-
sion uieiitionedon account of tlje alisouce
of outdoor Howcrs. Lilac appears to lie
the onl.\' outsidt'stock that will be .availa-
ble,and in limited quantity. ICver.vthing
from outdoors is very late.
I Of course, this shortage will make iiuite
'a heavy demand for carnations, roses,
and all other indoor flowers, and from
the appearance of the market last week,
it looked as though we should be pretty
well stocked from this source. This week,
however, the supply does not seem to be
,is heavy, though the market is sutH-
ciently stocked on all lines of flowers.
besides carnations and roses, which
are plentiful and selling- 9t about the same
prices as last quoted, (luantities of candy-
tuft, spirtca, lilies, etc., are now being
brought in, all of which will be found
very useful tor Memorial Day trade; but
■ isyetthe demand has been very light.
Aiiiong roses, Kaiserin Augusta Vic-
loiia is very plentiful and, as a rule, of
%cry good (piality, being much better
than Bride at present. The demand,
however, is light and the flowers move
hard. This holds true with respect to all
roses.
I arnations are in pretty good supply,
moving fairly well, though at times they
go slowly. Violets are about through for
the season, very few now coming in.
I Sweet peas are arriving in greater varie-
[ ty, and are much more plentiful. They
' are beginning to move harder; 50c. per
loo being the ruling figure, though a
few of extra ciuality go a little higher.
News Jottings.
Edmund M. Wood has improved

The Boston school committee has voteil
this year to revive the flower festival.
This occasion when a bouquet is present-
ed to each graduate of the grammar
school, was given up last year, and a
medal awarded instead. The festival will
be held on Saturday,, lune 2i(,at Mechan-
ics' Hall. This will be quite a little help
to the florists just at that dull season of
the year, as there will probablv be up-
wards of 3, OCX I bouquets ordered". These
orders are usually divided among a num-
ber of the craft in lots of from one to four
or five hundred.

Trade conditions in the cut flower
line the past week were about fair, with
an abundance of stock of every descrip-
tion, excepting perhaps American Beauty
roses. .Sweet peas are in over-supply, and
prices have dropped to $2.50 to .¥3.00
per 100; the quality is very good. Out-
door stock Is sold in quantities and very
cheap by market gardeners. Some fine
blue iris, for which florists ask from oOc.
and up per dozen, were offered at l."ic\
per dozen by the former. G. & J. W.
Ludwig have been receiving outdoor
daisies for several weeks, which is early.
They claim that these flowers are froiu
plants of an early variety, obtained from
German seed imported a few years ago.
The plants bloom several weeks before
our common daisy, and are just as hard v.
Lilies are in good supply, and gladiolus
is coming in freely.
Bedding plant trade is booming; good
stock is selling well— geraniums at from
$1 tf> $1.50 per dozen in 4-inch pots.
Wholesale prices in general are about the
same as those of last season.
The Florist's Club Is making arrange-
ments to give an exhibition of June roses
and other hardy flowers. A special
meeting was called last week for this
purpose. The date has not yet been de-
cided upon, as much depends on the
weather, but from present indications
the second week in June willsee in bloom
a good collection of hardy roses and
other stock. This will be the first exhi-
bition of the kind ever given by our
florists, and will be free to the public.
A good location in the heart of the city
will be secured, and the show will be
open for one day only — from noon till
late In the evening. There are quite a
number of private places In the city
where good collections of hardy roses are
grown ; these will contribute to the
show, as well as others outside of town.
Anyone who grows hardy roses can
make a display. No prizes will be offered.
All flowers will be nicely arranged and
the name of the grower attached to them.
An exhibition of this sort will give the
public a good idea as to how gardens
can be beautified with good varieties of
roses and other hardy shrubs suitable to
our climate and conditions.

Market News.
There is little news to report in
respect to the cut flower business. Plenty
of stock, such as it is, is on hand ; but
the quality, especially of roses, is not
of a high order, excepting that of .\mer-
ican Beauty, of which some very fair
flowers are to be seen. A few very small
dark red preonies arein and sell for 3c.
They will soon be plentiful, as will out-
side roses, a few of which are now In
bloom.
.Shrubs of all kinds, owing to the very
mild Winter, have bloomed extra well
this Spring, which has caused more than
usual in<iuiry by those who admire
shrubs when seeen at their best but neg-
lect to plant them at the proper time.
Spira'a Van Houttei is over; S. Reevesil,
doublets now in its prime. Philadelphus
and acacia are in full glow.
Bedding is mostly over, thotigh a few
stragglers will no doubt keep up the
trade for a week or ten da.ys. An aver-
age, or possibly a better trade has been
done, but prices have ranged no higher
than last year's. Some firms are re-
ported as practically sold out; no special
shortage can be noticed. Moonvlnes
have become quite scarce ; still there Is
enough to keep them pretty cheap.
Cut flowers are very scarce; they can
hardly be had at all at present.
Carnation The Marquis is coming In
very fine and fragrant now, but goes to
sleep almost as soon as cut.
The annual banquet given to the
directors of the .Shaw Garden was held
last Saturday, at the .Southern Hotel.
The banqueting hall was beautifully

Benthey & Coatsworth are having a
full measure of trouble, says the Tribune.
At the close of work Saturday night.
May 18, the frame of one greenhouse,
28x300 feet, was up, with rafters and
sash in place. The glaziers were to have
been on Tuesday. Sunday morningabout
9.30 a little twister in the shape of a
neighborhood whirlwind came along and
blew down every rafter. The wreck
was most complete and at the time Mr.
Coatsworth estimated the damage at
f 1,000 to ?il,200. On Monday it was
found that much of the material can be
used and about half the above sum
will cover the loss. The south wall of
the engine room, which went down the
second time. Is again being built and
stays put In to hold it.

The craft generally will sympathize
with W. W. Coles In the severe loss he
has sustained through the death of his
wife, which occurred May 15, at Indiana-
polis, whither she had gone to undergo
an operation. The funeral took place
May 17 and was largely attended. Mrs.
Coles was a prominent worker In the
Order of the Eastern Star, and her death
is greatly deplored.

The supply of roses ami earnatifms
still exceeils tliedemami; large (luantities
of g<io(l flowers eveu fiinl an outlet
tlirougli the street men. Monday uioru-
iiig: pn-onies from the south formed an
important factor in the market, at least
500 or tiOO dozen being- received. Itoth
■I. B. Deamud and the Ivenuicotts had
heavy shipments; the flowers, sf) far,
selling- at T.'')e. per dozen for the best, and
(iOc, for early red. Shrubs, including-
crab apple, and especially lilac, are now
much in evidence; and very excellent pan-
Bies, native violets and such like, help
swell the supply. Some grand parrot tu-
lips have been good sellers at $3 to f-t
per KHI — surely a good price.
(ihidiohis <'olvillei alba, from a grower
at .Morgan Park, is a feature. It seems
to g(] well at $3 to $4. Forced lily of the
valley is scarce at $8 to f.""); outside
grown stock is fairly abundant at $1 to
$2. but is not of extra fine quality as yet.
The weather is still very cool, with
niostl.v raw east winds, especially near
the lake. Some rain has fallen to gladden
the hearts of carnation growers.
ilemorial Day is near, and it looks as
though flowers will be abundant. We
don't anticipate other than fair prices.
Shipping trade is not verj' heavy, just
now.

Only a fair attendance put in ap-
pearance I'riday night, partl.y no doulit
owing to the florists being rather busy
with Spring work. .V ver.v good pajier
was read by I'aul Kopanka on raising-
c.velamen plants forseed. The discussion
that followed tended to show that the
cultivation of c.vclamen plants for this
market had retrograded, and was not
looked upon as very profitable. The
chairman of the committee on transpor-
tation to Buffalo stated he hail received
a good many replies to the committee's
circular, but would defer his regular re-
port. .\ vote of thanks was extende<l to
Mr. Kopanka for his interesting- jjaper.

stock Abundant.
We Btlll have plenty of carnatione
and rosea to fill all orders, and it now
looks as though we would have enough
stock for Memorial Day. The weather
remains unsettled, which makes trade
very spasmodic; a few weddings and
funerals keep the stores moving.
The S. A. F. O. H.
W. G. Bertermann, Indianapolis,
was a caller Sunday morning on his way
home from Washington, D. C, where he
witnessed the transformation of the old
S. A. F. into the new S. A. F. O. H. under
a charter from this great American Gov-
ernment. The next (luestion is, What
will the great heads do? Personally, I
should like to see the S. A. F. O. H. set-
tled in a permanent home, erect school
buildings and greenhouses; in other
words, install an expei'iment station,
where all newintroductionsraaybetried,
and where young men and women may
obtain horticultural education by paying
a fee for same. It seems to me work on
these lines would be the means of doing
lots of good.
Jotting ■.
The carnations planted in the field
before the freeze, of which I spoke some
time since, are doing nicely ; and at this
writiug do not show any bad effects from
the freezing.
Witterstsetter is busy building, as is
Henry Schwarz. W. K. Partridge is also
busy putting up his large range of rose
houses, which will be the finest in this
section of the country. We expect to see
some very fine stock produced at this
place duriug the coming Fall and Winter.
E. G. GiLLETT.

For the most part the weather inclines
jileasant, albeit cool. Business in the
stores iiiovesonapace, though moderate.
A bit only of trimming for Pan-American
affairs was indulged in on lMond<ay, but
calls for funeral uses have created trade
in some quarters. Flowers are ample,
though carnations are apt to be used up
almost daily.
The formal and authentic opening of
the Pan-American Exposition duly came
off, as stated, on Monday of this week.
The whole town was set agog with the
gala conditions into which the day was
turned locally with its processions, ex-
ercises, spectacles and decorations. To
enumerate these even in a general way
would be lengthy, so we shall merely
state that all passed off most favorably,
and the management is felicitous in the
accomplished record of over 100,000
recorded admissions for the day. In
large part business was suspended. The
florist.s closed their stores at noon.

Growins: Flower Seed
in Santa Clara Valley.
{Concluded from page 500.)
Now, a certain Holland seed firm offers
a very good mixture of tall and cHmbing
mixed nasturtium at 9c. a pound; and I
presume the concern gets most of the
orders. It is quite evident that it doesn't
cost them 10c. a pound to gather their
seed off tlie ground, to say nothing about
cleaning it and sacking, shipping and
taking the chances of an occasional loss.
Our flower seed growing department
began with hollyhocks, verbenas and
sweet peas, and we have continued to
grow these to a greater or less extent
ever since that beginning. Hollyhocks
find but a limited market, since they are
not easily grown, owing to the destruc-
tive rust which has proved so disastrous
in England. This rust is almost univer-
sal now and is witli us, though it can be
combated more or less, and our acreage
(if hollyhocks 'amounts to some three
acres, the stock including all colors of
double strains and the semi-double fringed
type of the Alleglieny. While verbena
seed with us is a fine, well-seasoned
sample, the amount of hand picking, as
well as the nature of the seed, renders it
one of the unprofitable things.
Of all the flowers we have grown none
has shown our California seed to have
such great preference over all others as
sweet peas, and the growth of this line
with us has been quite remarkable.
Some 50 pounds was the extent of our
crop 15 years ago; about 110 tons was
our total sales in 1900, and it lias taken
from 250 to .300 acres of land every year,
for several years past, to grow the sup-
ply. The sweet pea has proved to be the
people's flower. It is easily grown by
everybody, and the seed is cheap. Our
California sweet pea seed is vastly supe-
rior to that grown elsewhere — it has
more vitality and germinates more
readily, due to the natural conditions here
whicli allow the seed to mature well.
When "we began growing sweet peas
there were some 10 or 12 named varie-
ties; and it has been our privilege to
plant every season for many years the
new introductions from all sources as
fast as they came before the public, until
now there are some 160 listed varieties.
It has also been our privilege to be, our-
selves, the originators of 25 tall or climb-
ing varieties, which have been introduced
by prominent seed dealers, and it is grati-
fying to find that a. large number of these
novelties are popular and appear in all
critical preferred lists.
In addition to these tall or climbing
novelties, we have Ijeen the originators
of the race of Cupids or dwarf sweet
peas. In 1S94 we discovered the first
white dwarf and named it Cupid. The
next year another was discovered in pink
and white and called Pink Cupid, and
henceforth the whole race of dwarfs took
Cupid as a surname.
We began to cross-fertilize the first
dwarf with tall orchmbing varieties, and
when the second Cupid arrived we began
diligently to cross these two on one
another as well as on tall ones, and to
our great delight we were rewarded by
direct results so complete and prompt,
that in 1898 we had no less than 50 dis-
tinct shades and types of Cupids: and in
1900 or last season we had in our trial
grounds no less than 100 different shades
and colors of various markings, shapes
and sizes, fully as distinct as in the tall
sorts. Only 13 have been offered to the
public, and it will probably get the best
ones in but limited numbers for some
time, since anything is likely to be but
little appreciated when itis too common.
The type call " bush sweet pea" also
originated witii us, beginning with one
of the Gray Friar variety. It was not
put before the public until 1897, and has
not been tried sufficiently as yet to have
its value established. By cross-fertiliza-
tion and selection our results have been
almost as marked as in the case of Cupids
tor the same lengtli of time, and in 1900,
or last season, we had in our trial
grounds no less than 50 distinct shades
and colors.
The sweet pea being ourchief specialty,
it has naturall.v been favored with more
attention tlian any otlier flower we
grow; the system of careful selection
already explained has been carried on to
a considerable degree of completeness;
and in the development of new varieties
a great deal of cross-fertilization work
has been done. This crossing breaks
up the strain and causes it to sport
freely, and these sports have been the
originals of our Ijest novelties. It requires
an immense amount of detail to develop
novelties to the extent that has been
practised in the sweet pea, and frequent
disappointments are the rule.
With the exception of possibly sweet
peas and nasturtiums, the market tor
flower seeds is a very limited one, and
yields are small and orders are usuall.v
for very limited quantities. A few pounds
of verbena seed, for instance; aver.vfew
pounds of alyssum and candytuft and
balsam is the limit of business with even
the largest dealers. Many of the rarer
and higher priced flowers are quoted by
the hundred and thousand individual
seeds, and many by the ounce only.
One grower of flower seeds near Phila-
delphia told me he could carry the pro-
duct of an acre of large double petunia in
his vest pocket; and it represented a fair
crop and not a poor one.
I presume asters represent a greater
market than mostof the smaller annuals,
and the world's demand for them would
probably be represented by many thou-
sand pounds; but the market is much
greater in Europe then in America. I
doubt if America's annual consumption
is more than 5,000 pounds, though my
figure is purely an estimate.
Asters are grown here to quite an ex-
tent in spite of a persistent prejudice in
favor of the German grown stock, and
the seed, usually a better sample, can be
harvested before the Fall rains set in;
and our deliveries are consequentl.v nuicli
earlier than those from the foreign
growers.
A number of very popular flowers have
tailed to seed with us, apparently from
climatic causes. Two years in succession
we planted an acre of Japanese single
mixed morning glories and were unable
either time to get more than a few ounces
of seed from the whole acre. Cobfea
scandens, tried only once, did not seed ;
but it seems to do well farther south in
Santa Barbara and Ventura counties.
Moonflo^vers and other ipom(eas and
salvia never gave us any results, thougli
tried several times.
I am not sure that further experiments
would not reveal some fault in growing
that could be overcome, but so long as
there are other sections in this state
where these things are already being
grown successfully, we prefer to direct
our efforts to the further development of
what have already proven themselves
adapted to our particular section. There
is a vast field of experiment still unex-
plored, so far as I know, and many
flowers, still untried, can probabl.v be
grown successfully in the Santa Clara
Valley.
Just what tlie future of flower seed
growing here will be, can only be conjec-
tured. If foreign competition can be met
in some "way, and further knowledge of
methods and developments learned, there
will undoubtedly be an increase in the
acreage already devoted to flower seed
growing in the .Santa Clara \'alley.

fei'iins nortlieast wind stiil continues, anil
while the days are hotthenights are cool
and sometimes frosty. In Essex County,
England, quite a severe frost occuned,
and did very much damage to the young-
plants. The north-easterly crop of ver-
. miu is playing "Old Harry" with our
Spring sowings of brassicas as usual,
while weal<ly pieces of turnip, parsley,
jiarsnip and celery are dying off by
wholesale.
Ip to theprfsentthe destructive turnip
beetle has not visited our swede cro]is,
but it is only a pleasure (?) deferred.
Italian reports are rather more favorable
and a fairly good crop is anticipated.
The financial success of the National
Sweet Pea .Society is already assured, iit
any rale for the first year of its existence.
It is also satisfactory to report that a
strong committee has been formed to un-
derlake the work of classifying existing
varieties and awarding certificates to
meritorious novelties. The work of this
body will doubtless be of great service to
the "seed trade. The date of the sweet pea
exhibition and fair at the Koyal Aiiua-
rium, London, has been detinitel.y fixed
for July 25 and 26.

Memorial Day Flowers — .\t this
writing, a little in advance of Memorial
Day, the indications are that the G. A. R.
veterans will have to bestir themselves
to get their usual fiuantities of flowers.
In this vicinity there will not be in bloom
the customar.v variety of flowering
shrubs. Snowballs and weigelas are fa-
vorite sulijects for the purpose — the first
for its large white flowers, the second for
its long branches of bloom, both work-
ing in nicely in the bunches of flowers
which are used for placing on the graves
in the various cemeteries. Of snowballs,
the -Tapanese isthe favorite, Imt it is very
doubtful if it will be ready this year. It

weigela is liked— its flowers are on long
branches, just the thing for a background
for other flowers.
.4s a general thing, the flowers used
cost the Posts but little. Citizens are
more than willing, they are anxious to
give, and it is a pleasing sight to witness
the pleasure it affords many a child to
go to the Post room with a little handful
of flowers "tor a soldier's grave," as
many of tliem say.
It is the custom here to place a launch
of flowers and a pot plant on each grave.
The florist comes in on the last-named,
but it is generally children who buy the
plants and present them to the Posts.
.Memorial Day has become a general oc-
casion for the planting of flowers in ceme-
teries, and florists and nurserymen find it
much to their interest to have on hand
plants available for the purpose. Azalea
mollis, rhododendrons and other choice
shrubs in puts are much called for.

NEPHROLEPIS WITTBOLDII "'I^T^'
Nephrolcpis Wittbuldii should have present interest for every florist; it means money in the pocket of every man in the
trade. Witiboklii is the Boston Fern with much wider fronds and the edges of the pinnae heavily undulated, crinkled in a most
distinctive manner ; it is much more decorative, is an even stronger grower and propagates even more rapidly, while it is just as
tough and enduring as a house plant. We are sending out strong plants which will at once produce runners it planted out on the
bench. Give it light soil. Nephrolepis Wittboldii is offered :
Strong plants ready for 3 in. and 4 in. pots, at $1.00 each, $10.00 a doz., $75.00 a 100.
We've received dozens of letters from growers who have tried Wittboldii and everyone has something good to say of it,
touching many different points. SEE OUR DISPLAY
AT THE PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION.

Needle Pines. — Needle pines, wliieh
.advertisers from the .Soutli often mention,
are Pinus palustris, sometimes called
P. australis, commonly pitch pine or
long needle pine. The needles are of un-
common length, as those florists who
buy the branches for decor.ative purposes
know. This pine, as well as most all
other pines, is difficult to transplant un-
less with great care. Nursery grown
trees are presumed to have been trans-
planted, m.aking them easier to retrans-
jihuit successfully. Some of the Southern
a(h'crti.^crs mention root^pruned trees for
s;\le. 'I'll is would .add to their value very
much, as ]jines, as well as all trees, make
nioresm.ill roots when so pruned. As
the branches of this pine have been found
to sell wellat Christmas, would notsmall
plants in pots do still better? Plants of
two-year seedling size should be about a
foot high, and given greenhouse cultiva-
tion would soon make a good appear-
aiice. No doubt these plants of a fit size
for potting could; be had from Southern
nurserymen.
Japanese Maple.s. — There is no blood-
leaved tree or shnib so attractive in early
Spring as the lihMid-li'aved .Japanese ma-
ple, Acer polvuicirplinni atii>iiurpureuui.
There is a. darker purple-lciveil shrub, the
purple fill)ert, which tor <a little while is
almost black; but the color is not last-
ing, fading out to a light purple in a few
weeks after reaching its height. The
blood-leaved .Japanese maple is not pur-
ple.but red— a blood red color. Soon after
the leaves are well unfolded, the color is
intense, <and at this time customers are
to be met with at the neari'st florist's or
nurseryman's place, looking fur plants of
this subject. Though ittranspbints fairly
well, even after it has made some growth,
it is far more satisfactory to have some
plants in pots, to meet this demand.
These should be potted early in Spring or
early in Autumn. The close of Septem-
ber will be the nesX seasonable period for
potting them.
The maple mentioned, with A. dissec-
tum and its purple-leaved variety, A. dis-
sectiim atropurpureum, are the best
three. The A. dissectum forms do not
make the usual erect growth of shrubs,
but have a somewhat drooping habit, or,
at least, a horizontal growth. In this
shape they are very jiretty.
To those about to institute a collection
of these maples J would advise that they
start with the three named. These m;i-
ples may be propagated by layering in-
arching or grafting. When by either of
the two latter processes, the ordinary
from A. polymorphum is used. Experi-
ence with these maples dictates that they
be given a partly shaded phace to have
them do their best. In the midst of .a
group of evergreens, though not too near
to them, is a very good position.

Sowingr Elm and Maple Seeds.—
There are two maples, Acer riibrum and
Acer dayscarpuni, tlie red and the silver
respectively, and almost all elms, which
ripen their seeds in Spring— the latter part
of May in this vicinity. To have success
in sowinR the seeds, they require to l)e
sown very soon after being gathered.
I'nlike many other seeds, they will not
keep their vitality long, and the best suc-
cess comes from immediate sowing.
But though many failures come from
delaying the sowing, if the seeds are kept
in a cool place free f-'om air which would
dry them out, it is not impossible to have
them germinate when sown in the Au-
tumn, as a case of this kind, with red
maple seeds, came under the writer's
notice.
There are many maples which do not
ripen seed in Spring, but so far as I know
there is but one elm of all our native
sorts, viz., the Uluuis crassifolia, a Texan
one, which does not ripen until the very
last thing in Autumn.
Seeds of the early ripening kinds sown
now, give seedlings of nice size by the
time Fall comes.
Hardy Vines and Plants in Pots. —
Nurserymen who keep an assortment of
hardy vines and other plants in pots find
an increasing sale for these, and it is
worth the consideration of all who have
a good retail trade, whether it would not
be to their interest to keep in pots a still
larger assortment. It is a fact that the
nurseryman conld increase his sales
largely could he extend his selling season
by several weeks in Spring. It stops
now; notliecausethe wants of the public
are filled, but because the tree in full leaf
is not in a fit condition to plant.
In some of the southern nurseries, that
of P. J. Berckmans Co., for one, a very
large lot of entirely hardy shrubs and
trees is grown in pots. Perhaps not as
large specimens are to be had as from the
open ground, but the pot plant knows
no check, can be planted at any time,
and, in the end, outstrips the larger one,
which needs time for its recovery from its
transplanting.
Those who would cater to the wants
of the customer who comes late in the
season, would not need to have a great
assortment. Late comers are too pleased
to find their planting can be done to be
captious as to sorts; and a fair variety
of evergreens and shrubs would be suffi-
cient. It is customary now for nursery-
men to keep in pots many kinds of hardy
vines, the sales of which are satisfactory.
These sales have been increasing from
year to year because customers have
come to know the plants are to be had.
In the same way a demand could be
created for shrubs. Try the keeping in
pots of a few magnolias, mock orange,
weigelas and spiraeas, together with a
few of tlie commoner evergreens.
Ilex Crenata.— The illustration of Ilex
crenata and reference to its adaptability
as a hedge plant are timely, as bringing
to notieea useful plant of a class of which
there are too few. At the present time
there are very few broad-leaved ever-
greens thought of for hedges, because of
lack of available sorts. In the vicinity of
Philadelphia Euonynnis inpoiiiius lui-
swers thepurpose. It gets p.'u-tly winter-
killed at times, but no more so than what
acts as a good pruning to it. It is possi-
ble to use our native holly, but no one
appears to care for it. English holly is
liardy enough for hedging, so is Osman-
thus aquifolia and I.igustrum japonicum
— all true evergreens. .Some years ago,
Crata!gus pyracantha albo was pushed,
but it did not meet the requirements,
being fif a too slow growth.
Ilex crenata will make an extremel.v
pretty hedge. The small evergreen leaves
are very Ijeautiful, the growtli is twiggy
naturally, and the jilaiit stands pruning
well. <.lould the berry-bearing form be
introduced, it would add gre.atly to the
interest already existing in regard to this
ilex. It seedlings were imported from
.lapan many of tliem would, doubtless,
be berry-bearing, and from these a stock
could be raised by cuttings.
There are many shrubs and evergreen
trees which can lie made into good hedge
plants if desired. Even the Vieautitul
Magnolia soulangeana is (piite tractable
under the knife, and makes a bcnulitul
display when in flower. The beech hedges
of England are often read of, liut not till
this season did I see a beech hedge here. I
cameon onealougahighway just outside
of Philadelphia a short time ago. It was
a perfect and a very ornanuMital hedge,
especially as Its y-oung growth had just
well developed. Joseph Meehan.
Value of the Junipers.
Editor Florists'' Exchange:
If you will allot me some otherwise idle
corner of your valuable paper, I should
like to sa.v a few words in commendation
of tlie large family of conifers known bo-
tanically as juniperus. The late Winter
which has proveil disastrous to so many
ornamental evergreens in the north, has
shown' the value of the hardiness po.s.
sessed by uearly all the junipers com.
mouly found in well-stocked nurseries.
The unusual climatic conditions prevail-
ing during the Summer of 1900 and the
following Winter have left their mark on
many of the retinosporas and yews, on
not a tew of the spruces and firs, and even
on some of the pines; but nearly allot
the junipers that I have examined are
looking bright and thrifty this Spring.
Another point in favor of the junipers
is the wonderful diversity in the charac-
ter of their growth — it being scarcel.v pos-
sible to find a greater difference in form
than that which exists between the creep-
ing .Juniperus prostrata or J. squamata,
and the coluiunar Irish or Swedish juni-
pers. There are also good drooping
forms, e. g., J. yeddcensis and the weep-
ing red cedar — both Interesting and not
often seen. The common juniper of New
England (J. communis), a spreading
shrub the branches of which form a cup-
shaped clump, exhibits another distinct
form of growth.
In the matter of showing variations of
color, the junipers are perhaps equal to
any other class of evergreen trees. For
golden foliage we have Douglas's golden,
the golden form of the .Japanese juniper
and the golden form of the Chinese juni-
per, all of which are distinct and lasting
in their color. There are variegated forms
of tlie Jaiianese, Chinese and of the savin
junipers, the last being particularly de-
sirable as the white specks retain their
color all Winter. For silvery effect J.
virginiana glauca and .J. vcnusta present
themselves.
There is also a great difference in the
foliage of the various species. .1. japonica
and J. virginiana Schotti having foliage
very fine and delicate, while J. yeddcensis
is so full of "stickers "as to better deserve
the name of "Touch-me-not," than the
innocent weed that bears it.
As I have not mentioned it elsewhere,
let me add that the prostrate form of the
Chinese juniper (J. sinensis prostrata) is
one of the finest evergreen shrubs, being
now brilliant with its new growth.
Most of the junipers are small trees or
shrubs, and therefore suitable for small
lawns and cemetery lots. I have in mind
a littlecountry graveyard, which contains
a number of Irish junipers, and they cer-
tainl.v look quite as monumental as the
granitecolumnsaniong which they grow.
They are likely to burn here in very severe
Winters, however, unless the location in
which they are planted is carefully
selected. Geo. H. Buhke.

Insect Trap Lanterns.
Considerable attention has lately been
drawn to the use of trap-lanterns as a
general panacea for insect attacks, and
as a result several stations have found it
necessary to issue a general statement,
on account of a partial endorsement by
one station officer being used as an all
approving note. E. P. Felt, State ento-
mologist of New York, writes: "I wish
to state that money invested in trap-
lanternsof various forms, includingthose
which have attractive sweets or other
fluids, phosphorescent paints and the
like, apparently to make them more
effective, is a good investment only in a
very few special cases. Some of these
trap-lanterns catch many insects; un-
fortunately most of them are of com-
paratively little economic importance,
and the trouble is to get a device which
will capture large numbers of the de-
structive species.
" Expensive experiments conducted at
Cornell University have shown that the
trai)-lanteni cannot be recommended as
a practical means of controlling man.v
insect pests. Beneficial ns well as in-
jurious Insects are captured, and some
pests, like the codlln-moth, are taken
in very small numbers." — American

John H. Sievers showed the Mrs. Mc-
Kinley carnation. It is similar in shape
to the Hannah Hobart, but of a much
lighter shade of rose pink, and yet not as
pale as the Ethel Crocker variety. One
of the flowers exhibited measured tour
inches in diameter. Several beautiful
specimens of the Hannali Hobart carna-
tion were also exhibited by Mr. Sievers;
one in particular measured 4Vi inches
across.

The Detroit Florists' Club is distribut-
ing 5,000 chcysanthemum plants among
the pupils of the sixth and seventh grades
of the public schools. The Club will offer
prizes for the best-grown specimens of
these plants shown at the exhibition in
Detroit, to be held in the Light Guard
Armory, November 13 to 16. Children
whose parents are florists will not be
allowed to compete.
Professor Thomas Meehan, Philadel-
phia, has received the Veitch Memorial
Medal, a distinction granted only to men
most prominent in horticulture. Other
American Veitchian Medallists are: l"ro-
fessor C. S. Sargent, who was decorated
in 1876, and Professor L. H. Bailey,
1897.
The exhibition of the National Sweet
Pea Society (Eng. ) occurs .July 2.5, 26,
next, at the Royal Aquarium, Westminster,
London. The schedule enumerates 21
classes, seven of which will illustrate the
use of the sweet pea in floral decorations.
Non-members are required to pay an en-

Judges and Their Decisions.
; Should the grounds upon which a judge
bases his decision be promulgated simul-
taneously with the decision itself? This
question has forced itself upon us, owing
to some commentaries made with respect
to our request that the judges at the re.
cent Bronx Park (N. Y.) Show furnish an
explanation of their decision in connec-
tion with the awarding of the $50 prize
for the " best horticultural novelty,"
etc., to Gerbera Jamesouii. For our own
part, we believe that every judge called
upon to decide the inherent attributes of
ever.v exhibit made at a flower show
winning a prize, should be at the time of
rendering his decision, asked to provide
the reasons that prompthim to make his
awards. These are, or should be known
to him, and their public annonncemeiit
would demonstrate to the non-successful
exhibitors just wherein their displays fell
short. In the case of classes to which a
scale of points in judging is applicable
and in force, this information is, of course,
apparent in the respective values scored
by each exhibit entered; but there are
classes where no such scale is in opera-
tion, and where each judge uses his own
method and arrives at his ow'u conclu-
sions through the application of his own
system of judging— and it is to these in-
stances that we have more particular
reference.
Reverting to the case of the S50 award
for "the best horticultural novelty," the
subjects entered here were so dissimilar
in character, and the fairness of compari-
son thereby so completely frustrated,
that it appears to us the basis of a judg-
ment at once either so amazingly clever,
or ridiculousl.v foolish, as the case may
be, would, on the one hand, afford en-
lightenment and instruction of the high-
est standard, not only for future judges
placed in a similar position, but for the
trade in general; or, on the other hand,
•a vast amount of amusement all round.
Indeed, we believe the council of the Hor-
ticultural .Society of New York could con-
fer no greater boon on American horticul-
ture than by promulgating in the most
public manner, how it was and is possi-
ble for any set of judges or body of coun-
cillors to decide as to what is " the best
horticultural novelty." Will they do it?
A bald statement, unsupported by a
detail of the facts that prompt it, is
worthless either in law or equity.
A Word to Plant Doctors.
Plant doctors up to this time have been
too communicative, and not sufficieutly
practical. If they see a fungus they forth-
with measure its spores in fractions of a
millimetre, they compare it with other
organisms of a similar nature, and they
draw up a highlj' technical description,
which is quite unintelligible to the person
for whose benefit it is supposed to be
framed. Now, we are far from wishing
to depreciate these proceedings. For pur-
poses of scientific research the.v are ab-
solutely essential. It is likewise essential
that the fungi be cultivated by the plant
doctor and their life history accurately
studied, as upon the information so ob-
tained depend in most cases our methods
of combating disease or preventing its
onset. This cultivation takes time, and
hence it is not always possible to give an
immediate or even a speedy answer to
inrjuirers. But the details to which we
have alluded are appropriate onl.v to the
student. The busy cultivator has not
the time northemeans to make the neces-
sary investigations. He wants general
results, and specially indications for
treatment. — Gardeners' Chronicle.

from a membership in the new society, to
join that society before its annual meet-
ing, and wishing to do all in its power to
assist in building up a great and noble
organization, calls for the enrollment
from among its readers by August 1,
next, of 100 new members for the Society.
Remember, we are calling for new

S.A.F.O.H.andThe Other Societies.
As I am one of the charter members in the
national organization of the C. S. A., it
hardlj' seems advisable for me to make
any further comment on the affiliation of
the various trade organizations. What-
ever has been suggested, I believe, is for
the best. Elmer D. Smith.
Asamemberof the American Carnation
Society, I think it best that each society
should stand on its own footing, ready
to lend a helping hand to advance the
S. A. F. O. IL, and all sister societies.
Our interests are thus more concentrat-
ed; we are better able to do good work.
\Vm. Swayne.
I was very glad of the action the S. A.
F. O. H. took at Washington, in regard
to the co-operative societies. I have al-
ways held that a closer relationship
would beof advantage to all florists, and
to the trade. How much better to pull
together than to pull off in different direc-
tions! J.L.Dillon.
Secretary Esler of the Hail Association
writes :
It has hailed in Missouri, Illinois, Wis-
consin. Pigeon holefull of losses. Don't
know what anybody says about the S.
A. F. O. H. and have no time to find out.
Our firm's greenhouse business is whoop-
ing. We have no time to eat or sleep.
Can't talk or write intelligently until I
have time to discover where I am at.
John G. Eslee.
With reference to the S. A. F. O. H., Its
newly acquired chart^er, and the special
advantages to be derived from it bj' other
societies, as a result of closer union and
a willingness to co-operate for the com-
mon welfare of florists and horticultur-
ists, permit me to say that, believing we
should all be willing to work for the ad-
vancement of our profession, and gladly
assist in any work which may give us a
better standing in the eyes of the world,
I heartil.y endorse the co-operativescheme
of the S. A. F. 0. H., and believe that
more maybe accomplished by such amal-
gamation than to stand singly and alone.
I would not, however, endorse anything
whicli would tend to abrogate or dimin-
ish in any way the freedom of absolute
self-government of the American Carna-
tion Society. As I understand it, we, as
a Society, can take up the co-operative
scheme oHered by the S. A. F. O. H., and
still retain our independence as an indi-
vidual society. Wm. Weber.
I have looked over that part referring
to affiliation of co-operative societiesand
I heartily approve of all that has been
done. It seemstomethattheincorporat-
ors have brought about an affiliation
which will tend to the benefit of both the
parent society and its active offspring
without impairing the independent work
of the co-operative societies. I agree with
that clause which gives one delegate from
each society the right to act with the Ex-
ecutive Board.
These co-operative associations or so-
cieties have done an immense amount of
good work; it is from them that themost
active work and progress must be ex-
pected, and their relations to the S. A.
F. O. H. will not hamper them in the
least. There is one fact connected with
all this that iscomforting and will doubt-
less be the means of there being the hearti-
est co-operation among us all, and that
is that every good and active member of
any one of the co-operative societies is a
loyal ami good and active member of the
.S. A. F. O. H. It seems to me that the
incorporators have done good and con-
scientious work, and the fiin'al fraternity
of the whole country owes them a hearty
vote of thanks. William Scott.
The duties of the co-operative societies
will be, in the first place, to create a lively
interest in the newly chartered main
body. Of course, I take it for granted
that no hitch will occur at the meeting
in August, when the old S. A. F. O. H.
gives place to the new organization! By
the smaller societies taking more interest
in the larger body, both will be strength-
ened under the new arrangement. How-
ever, I should like to have seen the larger
co-operative societies represented by more
than one member on the Executive Board
of the S. A. F. O. H.
The duties of the co-operative societies
will, further, be to advance, in the case
of the specialists, their products; and as
regards state organizations, the inter-
ests of floriculture in their respective
states, by having good representative
meetings and exhibitions, working, in a
sense, for the good of all interests com-
bined. Special inducements given by the
main body, such as medals and other
prizes, for these exhibitions will, I think,
be of great benefit and infuse more life in-
to many dormant organizations.
I have heard many complaints by flo-
rists and others to the effect that the
drain on their pocketbooks for member-
ship in the many trade organizations is
too great. They figure it out to be an
enormous sum, when in reality it is not
so bad; 20c. a week saved from some-
thing else would cover an expense which
would be bearing interest in the future in
more ways than one.
Some suggest that the S. A. F. O. H.
should combine all separate organiza-
tions under one head and appoint com-
mittees to take charge of these. The time
for this, I am afraid, is past. The idea is
at least commendable, but somewhat
late to allow of its being carried out.
The date of meeting, August, is a poor
time for a really good exhibition, par-
ticularly of specialties, consequently other
societies have sprung up to show their
products at the proper time, and under
the proper circumstances. Exhibitions in
connection with the annual meetings are
great drawing cards and, of course, of
benefit to many in the trade, especially it
the retail florists in the vicinity have been
asked to interest themselves in making
displays and decorations.
Your efforts in getting expressions from
individuals in the different branches of
our profession are commendable, and
may lead to better things, if possible.
W. G. Bertermann.
Reflections on Current Topics.
The posted man always commands ad-
miration,and hisutteruncesand writings
are at all times refreshing and instructive.
In this category may be placed, without
quibble, the "Notes in I'assing" indited
by L., in another trade paper. An
ancient Solon has remarked that "there
is no new thing under the sun," and L.
verifies the assertion. He has unearthed
tlie fact that the common hart's tongue
fern of Great Britain, now said to be
" something new " in America is a little-
older by the matter of a century or so
than the period to which L.'s knowl-
edge of the subject extends. He forgets
to tell us how many people, if any, other
than the advertiser mentioned are grow-
ing this fern in the United States — which
is a pity. It is, though, in these days,
somewhat difficult to tell what is consid-
ered a "novelty." The Chicago Horticul-
tural Society's schedule says: The term
"horticultural novelties," may include
"well-grown specimens of some of the
niostcommo7i/i-/iDoii'zi//owers." So there
you are !
Then, again, L. wants to convey the
idea that another man claims Begonia
Erfordii to be a novelt.v, when no such
thing is expressed or Implied. To say
that a particular plant is a favorite in
any country, or to charge a high price for
such a plant does not necessarily class it
as a uovelt.y. To endeavor to create an
erroneous impression regarding a neigh-
bor's goods partakes of the nature of a
"dirty insinuation'' does it not? And
how far would a statement to the effect
that a begonia was "a favorite of
Switzerland" carry weight with Ameri-
can florists and gardeners?

Occasions are few when a man is the
"whole tiling," although they are nunier-
oiis enongli when he thinks he is; an<l
wlien an instance of the first named
nature does uutterialize it is worthy of
the greatest publicity. In speaking of
the departure of the Boston delegates for
Wnshingon, a western trade paper's cor-
respondent remarks thusly: •' They were
escorted to the train by a procession con-
sisthig of tieorge Watson." To consti-
tute the "whole bunch "is an honor of
wbich an.v individual may well be proud,
and it is no doubt appreciated to its full-
est extent in this instance.
So the .S. A. F. O. H. has organized
under its national charter, and, too, on a
broad and liberal i)lane. It seems to me
that what the Mount Greenwood sage
once termed " The Dink.y Societies " can-
not withstand'throwing in their lot with
the S. A. F. O. H., under the generous
terms offered: they have everything to
gain and nothing to lose — not even tlieir
independence. The inducements offered
to benefactors of the Societ.v — medals or
other testimonials— though different from
what they do in Great Britain, where a
man who has, by his skill and labors,
benefited horticulture in any tangible
form is made a V. M. H., as a reward
for such services, will, no doubt, bring in
many names to beinscribed in the " Book
of Fame," of the S. A. F. O. H., and when
the Societ.v is rich enough, it may follow
the example of its English prototype,
when L. and myself may then be re-
warded according to our deserts.
It is sad to read, though, that in con-
nection with the charter t'ongress has
legalized "a piece of villainous English."
If, however, it had legalized what the
party responsible for this characteriza-
tion aforetimeadvancedas thereal thing,
— " Ornamentative," for ornamental, it
would have made lawful no English at
all, for after careful search I fail to find
either in Webster or the Century Diction-
ary the word "ornamentative." It would
have been preferable, of course, had the
addendum been lopped off, as it is but a.
redundancy; but as it's retention was
a "means to an end," and that end a
national charter, and. let us hope, peace
liy federation, no great harm is done.
There are many worse examples of " vil-
lainous English" in existence, and appear-
ing from tinieto time, which are far more
blaniealile and objectionable, at least, so
thinks Joit.
OBITUARY.
William Fancourt.
William Fancourt died at the Cook
Coynty Hospital, Chicago, May 20, and
was buried in Mt. Greenwood Cemetery,
on the i24th. His father was a noted
propagator at Heuflerson's nursery,
T^ondon, in old times when propagating
was a fine art, and when the door of the
propagating house was kept locked for
fear of cowans and eavesdroppers. The
sou was no less noted in the same line
(at least, so say those who knew him
well), when he could be kept at his post
long enough. He was also noted as a
chrysanthemum grower a few years ago,
having been a season each at Lincoln
Park, Bassett & Washburn's, Vaughan s
greenhouses, in the latter capacity. It
is hard to say for whom he had not
worked in his sojourn of 25 years around
f'hicago. Many a one tried to lend him a
helping hand, but "Fan" would break
out every so often. He was born in Lon-
don, England, about 1830, and came to
America in 1SG6, working first for Kobert
Buist, Sr., afterwards for .lohn IJick in
Philadelphia. Became to Chicago about
187G, first entering the employ of John
Goode, of Hyde Park. Andrew McAdam,
then w'ith Mr. Goode, and who knew the
deceased well about those, his best times,
says there was no hard wooded plant
he could not make rt)ot; in fact, there
was no doubt about his knowledge as a
gardener. About 15 years ago, he was
badly frozen, the amputation of a limb
resulting. He must have had a rugged
constitution, for he has hail many a mis-
hap, with more downs than ups. He was
given a decent funeral by old florist ac-
(|uaintances,some of whom saw him laid
away in beautiful Mt. Greenwood.
Ess.
F. A. Fairbrother.
Frederick A. Fairbrother, the oldest
and beat known florist in Providence, R.
I., died at the home of his son, 42.T Pub-
lic St., May 2.3, from pneumonia. He
had been sick but a few days, and the
end was not looked for, as he was a par-
ticularly active man for one who had
reached the age of 72 years.
Mr. Fairbrother was a member of sev-
eral secret organizations, among them
being Amity lodge of Odd Fellows and
Oriental lodge, K. of P. His funeral was
held Monday last from the residence of his
son.
BOOKS RECEIVED.
CVCLOPETIIA OF -^MI'^RIfAN HORTICUL-
TiiRK. — The third volume of Professor
Bailey's C.yclopedia of .\meriean Horti-
culture issued by the .\Iacmillan Co., New-
York, a short time ago, is gotten up
much on the same lines as its two prede-
cessors. It would be difflcult to overes-
timate the value of this stupendous work
to florists, gardeners and nurserymen.
The cultural matter is, of course, the
most valuable, as it has been contributed
by experts in their several lines. For the
most important of the cultivated plants,
cultural methods have been treated by
several experts in different parts of the
countr.v.
The botanical descriptions and classifi-
cations, however, will hardy suit every-
one interested in an,y special class of
plants; and with regard to nomencla-
ture, the " New Nomenclature," as It has
been called, but which in reality is a res-
urrection of the oldest names by virtue
of what is known to the cult as the law
of priority, has been followed. The Cy-
clopedia adojjts the views of those bot-
anists who have decided that the original
names must stand, even though they
have not been in common use for genera-
tions. This is, of course, to be regretted,
when looked at from certain points of
view. For instance, the lovers of plants
who are not scientifically inclined, and
they are in the vast majority, will be a
little more confused than they are at
present; the nurseryman will hesitate to
offer plants under their really rightful
names, and customers on getting their
plants will think they have been deceived,
uidess explanations are maile for every
change of name. On the other hand,
there is little douot that when an oppor-
tunity arises, such as in the case of the
publishing of this monumental work, ad-
vantage shouhi be taken as far as possi-
ble to bring order out of chaos, to give
the plants their correct names no matter
what inconvenience may arise therefrom,
provided the author affords explanatory
information concerning the change. In
this connection it is much to be regretted
that botanists are not uniteil in their
views on the subject. Were they all to
agree, their writings could be interpreted
without previously having to discover to
what school the authors belonged.
We can easily see that the publication
of really great works which takes cogni-
zance of the law of priority, will gradu-
ally educate the people in the correct
nomenclature of plants, the names of
which are not household words, like fu-
chsia, geranium, petunia, nasturtium,
and crbton, etc. Although three-fffths
of these generic names are wrong as eom-
monl.v applied to the plants, it may safely
be said that they will continue to be com-
monly known as such, although the great
majority of plant lovers are cognizant of
their correct names.
Occasionally in the descriptions and
illustrations one has to guess at what is
meant. The illustration given as Papaver
Rha>as p. 1 ,208, was evidently taken from
a i)lant of P. orientale.

Field Grown Roses for the Trade.
Ee:id by John Gill, West Berkeley, Cnl., before
Pacific Floral Congress.
The culture of roses in the open ground
varies but little from that of other nurs-
ery stock. The cuttings, or rooted
stocks, are planted during the Winter or
early Spring mouths in ground that has
been prepared for that purpose. They
should be planted in straight rows, about
four feet apart, and from eight inches to
one foot apart in the row. This allows
ample room to hoe between the plants in
the row, and between the rows to plow
and cultivate. This latter operation
should be done in a most thorough man-
ner throughout the season; it not only
gives the'plants a chance to make a good
growth, but it has ft tendency to keep
out the troublesome pest, the gopher, as
he l\as very little use. for well cultivated
land.
Roses like new soil. It is a great mis-
take to try and take several crops off the
same piece of land, and it cannot be done
with good success. When raised on fresh
soil many of the stronger grown kinds
will make fine plants the first year, but
has its. I find that one variety will do
well on one stock, while only a partial
success on another, and a complete failure
on a third; and there is no wa.v by which
the rose's preference in this respect may
be found out that I know of, except by
experimenting, and this takes many
months if not years to accomplish.
I feel that many of our eastern friends
in the trade are making a mistake on the
subject of grafted roses on the manetti,
tor two reasons: First, it is an indis-
putable fact that many of the tea varie-
ties will not make a good union on it,
much preferring some other stock. This is
shown by the fact that, although the
plants often make a strong growth, they
are apt to break off where the.v are graft-
ed or budded; while if they are worked
on a stock Avhich they prefer, it is almost
impossible to break them after they have
made a union. Of course, it must be un-
derstood that this does not apply to all
tea varieties, for some of them will make
an excellent union on the manetti and for
such varieties I consider it an excellent
Stock.
Second : The manetti stock is practi-
cally dormant during the Winter months,
bud, and all the weeds carefully removed
before the buds begin to start, or there
will be great danger of breaking oft the
young buds. The ground should be thor-
ouglily worked assoon as it becomes dry
enough to permit of this being done.
As soon as the warm weather arrives
the buds will start readily and make a
very strong vigorous growth, and during
the month of May will be a sight worth
looking at and long to be remembered.
The roses so grown should have no irri-
gation whatever, but be allowed to dry
oft naturally after having made their
Summer's growth. The.v will be ready
for transplanting an.v time after the first
of Septeml)er, in fact, often before that.
The forcing varieties so grown cannot be
excelled for greenhouse culture. Flowers
may be cut from them in about six weeks
after planting; they will continue to bloom
through the season, giving the very finest
quality of flowers; in fact, they may be
carried over tor several years with excel-
lent results.
For general sales, the handling of roses
begins about the first of November, or as
soon as the wet weather commences, and
lasts till about the first of March. In
View of Boston Publiu Garden.
the slower grown varieties will take from
two to tlu-ee years to make saleable
plants. It is well also to grow them
without irrigation, as they will make
plants which will give the purchaser
much better satisfaction, being more dor-
mant than irrigated stock. They will
start much better and they can be grown
very successfully in this vicinity without
any irrigation.
Roses are mostly started from cuttings,
or from rooted stocks or seedlings im-
ported from Europe. When cuttings are
to be used they should be made from
good hard wood during the Winter or
early Springmonths,andplanted as soon
after as the ground is in condition to re-
ceive them. Imported stocks may also
be put in at the same time.
Two methods of growing roses in this
state are principally employed, namely,
on their own roots and budded. To the
latter I wish to call especial attention, as
I considertheplnutsolitaiued farsuperior
to those grown on their own roots, hav-
ing a tendency to make the weaker grown
varieties much more vigorous; being-
worked on a strong root, they will
give a great deal better satisfaction.
The principal stocks used for budding
are the manetti, De la Grifferaie, Rosa
canina or dog rose, Gloire des Roso-
maues, castilian, and the evergreen stocks.
Many of the growers have their prefer-
ences regarding the different varieties of
stocks, and I am satisfied that the rose
more so than any of the other stocks
mentioned, except the R. canina, and it
must be expected that the varieties
worked on it will be in the same condi-
tion, to a certain extent, greatly to their
detriment for forcing during the Winter
months, just the time the grower wants
flowers and must have them. It can be
readily seen that it the roses were worked
on stocks which grow freer during the
Winter months they would be a great
deal more preferable for growing under
glass. The foregoing reasons will have
the same bearing on budded stock grown
In this state, and not a small portion of
which is sold to florists to be grown in
their greenhouses for cut flow ers.
The stocks previousl.v referred to must
be kept thoroughly cultivated so as to
be ready to be budded, which should be
done between the first of .Tune and the
first of October, the buds to be inserted
close to the ground and thoroughl.v tied.
Raffia I consider the best tying material.
Great care must be taken to have the
buds well matured, as it Is a very difficult
matter to get a good stand of soft buds.
Also care must be taken in cutting the
buds not to get them mixed in any way.
After the stocks have been budded, little
else is retjuired to be done till the Winter,
save the cutting of the strings, which will
have to be done in about three or tour
weeks after buddii)g, according to the
growth of the stocks. During the Winter
the tops will require to becut back to the
handling roses care must be exercised to
give them all the roots possible, and pre-
caution must be taken against getting
the varieties mixed, for it is difficult for
one to separate them who is not thor-
oughly familiar with the looks of the
wood ; in fact, in some cases this is utterly
impossible. Care must be taken not to
expose the roots to the sun or drying
wind any more than possible, for if they
once get dried out, it will take them a
long time to recover fromthe effects of the
same. After being dug, all the leaves
should be removed as they will only
wither on the plants and give them a bad
appearance; then the plants should be
tied in bundles, carefully labeling each
bund le. After puddling the roots the plants
will be ready for packing and shipping.
In handling roses a great difference may
be seen between budded plants and those
on their own roots. The former will have
a large quantity of active roots, while
the latter will have in most cases only
two or three straggly ones, and the same
will not start for the purchaser nearly as
soon or as strong as the budded stock,
and will not give near the satisfaction for
a long time to come, if at all.
At this point I wish to speak of the
two principal objections to budded stock.
The first is suckers, but if the roses
have beeu worked on carefully prepared
stocks and properly planted, there will
be little cause to complain from that
source. The other objection is that they
do not do well, but of this we hear little.
The principal cause of tliis latter defect is
either being worked on inferior stocks or
not on the right variety of a stock, but
to this I have previously referred.
The varieties of roses grown are almost
endless in number, some of the nurseries
carrying between three and four hundred .
kinds In stock; but for many of these
there is little call. By far the heavi-
est demand is for the varieties now so ex-
tensively forced under glass which we see
so beautifully and extensively displayed
in our florists' windows, and, of course,
all lovers of flowers must have these
sorts in their .vards. The principal varie-
ties are the liride, Bridesmaid, Madame
Caroline Testout, Kaiserin Augusta Vic-
toria, American Beauty, Papa Gontier,
La France, Perle des jardins. Souvenir
du President Carnot, and Belle Siebrecht,
all of which will give excellent results
outside in this vicinity. Other very popu-
lar varieties for general planting are Sa-
frano, Rainbow, Niphetos, Sunset, White
I^a France, Marie Van Houtte, Madame
Lombard, Maman Cochet, Madame
Hoste, Emperor de Moroc, Paul Neyron,
Isabella Sprunt and Viscountess Folke-
stone; in fact, it is hard for me to bring
this list to a close, as there are so man.v
favorites. In climbers there are Marechal
Niel, La Marque, Cloth of Gold, Climbing-
La France, Climbing Niphetos, Climbing
Perle, Gloire de Dijon, Gloire de Margot-
tin, Reve d'Or, Reine Marie Henriette,
Wm. Allen Richardson, Banksia and
Beauty of Glazenwood. The last named
is a beautiful variety when it gets several
years' growth on it.
The h.y brid perpetuals and mosses I have
almost excluded from the list as the call
for them is limited. Crimson Rambler is
now used very extensively as a pot plant
for forcing for Easter. There are other
exceptionally fine old varieties which are
practically unknown to the rose lover of
to-day, and which should be in every col-
lection, such as Adam, Souvenir d'un
Ami, Eliza Savage, Bougere, La Sylphide,
Shirley Hibberd, Madame Willermoz,
Ruebens, Devoniensis and many others
that I might mention.
The demand tor field grown roses was
never greater than it is at the present
time; in fact, it is almost impossible to
get a list of any size of the popular varie-
ties from any of the principal growers late
in the season, they being sold out of most
of them. One reason for this is that the
trade, that is, I mean the retail dealers,
are fast learning that they can buy a
much larger and stronger plant for less
money than they possibly can grow it in
their small yards, to say nothing of the
better satisfaction it will give their cus-
tomers: also that the small roses grown
in the East and sent out here by mail, at
seemingly a very small price, have proven
to be anything but satisfactory, and
dear at any price, as very few of them
live, or ever give satisfaction. The gen-
eral rose buyers are fast learning that
this stock is not to be compared with
thoroughly ripened California field grown
stock. Another reason is that we can
grow any of the tender sorts here with-
out protection, which cannot be done in
any of the other states: hence our mar-
ket is not confined to this state alone,
but rose plants are shipped over the en-
tire coast; and I think the time is notfar
distant when they will be grown here in
large quantities for the eastern market;
for already many have been shipped there.
There are also a great man.v used for
greenhouse forcing to which I have pre-
viously referred.
In conclusion, I would say that in order
that the demand for field grown roses
may continue, strictly first-class stock
must be put on the market and at a fair
and reasonable figure.
Boston Public Garden,
We acknowledge receipt, from Superin-
tendent Doogue, of a copy of a handy
map and index of Boston Commf)n and
the Public Garden, showing the location
and names of the trees and the arrange-
ment of the tulips tor 1901. The publi-
cation of such an instructive and valua-
ble pamphlet was a happy thought, and
is no doubt much api^reciated by all in-
terested.
The Public Garden is a beautiful park
laid out in the landscape stylo, just south
of the Common and Charles Sti-cct, and
now has an area of 24V'i acres of land.
It was formerly known as the old"Round
Marsh " and with the exception of Fox
Hill was marshy ground and frequently'
the tide flowed around the hill. Rouud
Marsn was part of the Common.
On September 1, 179i, the town grants
ed this marsh tor the erection of rope
walks; but on February 25, 1824, the

'liarles Street, connecting there with the
■nd of r.cacon Street to the uplands of
^ewall's Point in Brookline.
Western Avenue, from Beacon Street to
Brookline, was opened as a public road
July 2, 1821.
The street on the southerly side, known
|,a,s the extension of Ilovlston Street, was
laid out August IS, 1843.
On the 11th of December, 18156, a nar-
!row strip of land was annexed to the
northern part of the garden, and the
avenue 80 feet wide now known as Arling-
ton Street was soon laid out.
In 1859 the city govei'nuient voted to
;lay out the garden, which had been tilled

PoiNSETTiAs. — Tlie old poinsettia
plants may now V)e set out of doors with
safety, where they will furnish plenty of
new shoots which can betaken and root-
ed. The cuttings thus procured will
make ideal subjects for pot specimens
next Christmas, and unless it is intended
to grow a bencli of plants for cut Hower
purposes there will be no necessity for
lifting the old plants, as those rooted
from them duringthe Summer are prefera-
ble for pot purposes, and it will be an
easy matter to get allthecuttingsdesired.
RuBfiER Plants. (FIcus elastica) —
Young plants that are well rooted may
be planted out of doors this week. Have
thoroughly incorporated with the soil a
good dressing of well-rooted manure.
(iive shade to the plants through the
main portion of the day for two weeks
or so, after which inure them gradually
to the full sunlight. They must li.'ive a
identifulsupiily of water at all times, and
also need syringing daily during hot
weather; so that if they can be planted
within reach of the hose-pipe a lot of un-
necessary labor will be saved.
DRACJ5.NA iNPivisA.— Young stock will
make much better headway through the
Summer if planted out than it will
when keiJt in the greenhouse. Give the
plants a good, rich soil within reach of

thoroughly decomposed, the providing of
ample drainage in the pots is the most
imi)ortant factor necessary to the plants'
welfare. Cse plenty of leaf soil, and pot
quite firmly. One of the chief points in
the successful flowering of the gloxinia is
the keeping of the roots at an equable de-
gree of moisture; they should never be
either too wet or too dry; and to attain
this condition it is necessary to go over
the plants each day and water only those
that require it. Gloxinias are usually a
failure where the watering is done indis-
crinnnately with the hose-pipe.

Hybrid Phalaenopsis.
Perhaps less progress has been made in
the hybridizing of phahenopsisthan with
any t'ltlier of the more popular genera of
orchids. So says a writerin an exchange.
Nevertheless, a number of natural and
artificial hybrids have at times been de-
scribed and recognized, and among the
latter is included P. Harrietts. This is a
sweet littleorchid with plain green leaves
resembling the male parent, which was
P. violacea. The seed-bearer was P.gran-
diflora. The first flowers appeared in
1887 from seeds sown in 1882. Tlie
flower is nearly 3 inches in diameter; the
petals nearly three-quarters of an inch
across, ovate, pale creamy white strained
with purple at the base, the sepals being
similar in size, but rather more acute in
form. This hybrid was raised at Chelsea,
and named in honour of the daughter of
the late Hon. Erastus Corning of .Mbany,
N. Y'., one of the best-known .American
orchidists. It may interest orchidists to
learn that Mr. Gisseliere, Superintendent
of the .\gri-Hortlcultural Society's Gar-
dens, Alipur, East Indies, has been hy-
bridizing several of this genus, and will
shortly be able to add a few new hybrids
to our existing varieties of phalieuopsis.

The Arrangement of the
Buffalo Exposition Grounds.
In Buffalo the site of tlie Exhibition is
a large, rectangular plateau, quite re-
moved from the lake and from the river
front, and touching on the south the fine
Buffalo Park, one of the most interesting
and successful creations of the elder Olm-
sted. There was nothing in the condi-
tions which suggested any free and infor-
mal treatment, no considerable inequality
in the levels of the ground, no great body
of water in sight; and the absolutely pic-
turesque character of the park seemed to
invite an(l demand a contrast in the ad-
joining exhibition. It was for these rea-
sons, and with the memory ever present
of the lesson afforded at Chicago, that an
almost entirely formal and a symmetri-
cal plan was decided upon and has been
carried out. The buildings, the courts,
the basins, are arranged upon axes,
which have been carefully preserved . Each
building orgroup of buildings has another
opposite which balances it; anil it has
been the aim to produce rather a unity of
effect in the buihlings and gardens than
a series of isolated units. — From "The

(147) Treatment for One-year
Cyclamen. — To carry over the old cycla-
men plants and have thera do well
another year, it will be necessary to take
g;ood care of them now while they are
ripening- the bulbs and approaching the
dormant stage. Withhold water gradu-
ally until all growth ceases, and the
leaves begin to fall of their own accord,
then lay the pots on their sides in some
cool corner, where the sun will not strike
tliem. Let the plants reniaiu in that con-
dition until September, when they may
be shaken out and potted into smaller
pots and started growing again in the
greenhouse, giving them the same treat-
ment as regards potting, etc., as is afford-
ed young seedlings.
(148) Carnal inns The Marqnisand
White Clond.— I have a number of The
Marquis and White Cloud carnations,
the first season I have attempted to
grow them. How often ought I to pinch
tUem back or top them? And should
they not soon show a good bush.y growth
with several shoots starting from the
base of plants? The soil is rich, sandy
loam, in a limestone region, and very
well drained. I do not intend watering;
will depend on rain entirely. Am I right
in this? How often is it necessar.v to cul-
tivate and hoe these varieties ? I expect to
loosen the soil after each rain fall. Is it
wiseand best tohoe oftener? The plants
are doing nicel.v, especially The Marquis.
They are planted about 10 inches apart.
— Beginnee.
—As regards the pinching back of the
earnati<)ns, no set time can be named for
])erforming the operation. When the
jjlants are established in the field, go over
tliem at least once a week and pinch only
those that need it. Cultivate, or hoe,
between the plants, once a week, and
watering will be unnecessary. The dis-
tance apart to p'antthem in the house in
the Fall will be best regulated by the
growth the plants make through the
Summer months.
(14'J) Thousand-legged Worms. —
The little creature which you send is one

upon tender young plants. Greenhouses
can be rid of the creature by scattering
about slices of potato poisoned with
Paris green. — Dr. L. O. Howahd.
(150) Trouble with Indoor Grown
Sweet Peas —Grower. Several growers
of sweet peas have had an experience
similar to yours the past Winter and
Si>ring; but what the reason is for the
crops being lighter than in other years
we are unable to say. The probabilities
are, that the trouble is due to deteriura-
tion of the varieties grown through unfa-
vorable conditions during the seed har-
vest, but perhaps some sweet pea special-
ist can throw some light on the subject.

Pan-American Notes.
The recent weather, so forbidding,
sloppy and dreary, has hardly been sug-
gestive of either progress or attendance.
Still, many sight seers, out-of-town peo-
ple most exclusively, are on the grounds.
Either the lateness of the season, in pa;o-
nifs, or early date of display of them is
off, to the extent that instead of the open-
ing occurring to-day, as set for, it has
been posptoned for a week or ten days.

Exhibit at Buffalo, in August Next.
The Cottage Gardens, Queens, N. Y.,
has a show that includes nearly 200
plants in G-inch pots of named specimen
geraniums and pelargoniums. AVe noted
the following in geraniums: In single
reds, Herrick is a bright warm red,
growth irregular, fair sized truss, the flo-
rets set a bit opten. .Tohn P. Gleary is
deeper colored, foliage nicely formed,
fairly filled long stemmed truss. Andrew
Lang, of medium growth, is a beautiul
soft red, center lightly shaded in white.
Hall Caine approaches a brick shade, is
of bold growtli and floriferons. Kitty,
similar in shade, has good foliage, habit
the most pleasing setting of blooms, ami
the trusses are fine, also.
In double red, S. A. Nutt shows well,
as does Pasteur. Marquis de Castellane
shows a good truss in a deep, rosy red in
foliage growing a bit uneven. Marvel is
very free of bloom, and pretty, growth
irregular. .
In single pink. Pink Domino flowers
freely, but with truss not so nicely formed ;
in this respect Millfleld Rival, proving a
rival to it decidedly. Je.an Viand furl her
bears out its past heralding in flue style.
Spite of the slender trusses, the blooms of
Gertrude Pearson captivate the eye.
Barbara Hope and also Wm. Ewing are
most delicate tinted. In a salmon with
deeper center, the growth and habit of
Ian MacLaren seem ideal for bedding pur-
poses. Mme. J. Cibiel has a handsome
truss almost globular in form.
Among double pink Thomas Meehan
has rose pink, strong growth, full truss;
Mme. Barney has specially fine foliage
growth, but does not truss up so hand-
some. The same lack is noticeable in
Frances Perkins. Chateaubriand and Due
de Montmort, on the magenta shades,
show good trusses; thelatter variety the
better of the two.
In single white, L'Aube, has nice foli-
age growth, and a fairly well set truss on
good stem.
Among Ipelargoniums, the most con-
spicuous were; Mrs. Layal, a pink type,
crimson shaded, small flower, most free;
in color combination hardly as pleasing
as some older varieties; Mme. Thibaut,
light pink, petals slightly crinkled ; Mrs.
R. Sandiford, white; Edw. Perkins, a
pleasing red; H. M. Stanley, deep rose
color, darker shaded; Anita, trl-shaded.

Wreaths Cast on the Waves.
' For the first time on this side of the
continent the countless graves of the
great deep were decorated yesterday
from the deck of the battleship Massachu-
setts, now lying at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard.
This was in accordance with the move-
ment recently set on foot in California,
and indorsed by Admirals Dewey, Samp-
son and Schley. "Strew flowers on the
ocean waves on Memorial Day," was the
watchword recently sent far and wide by
those interested in the movement, at
whose head is Mrs.A.S. C. Forbes, of Los
Angeles.
The service was conducted by Chaplain
Wright, of the Massachusetts, who spoke
briefly. A requiem hymn was then sung
by Yeoman Snyder, of the ship's company.
Several beautiul wreaths borne by the
blue jackets were now brought out to
the gangway, but before casting these
upon the water the chaplain repeated
the decoration hymn;
Cover them over with beautiful
flowers.
Deck them with garlands, those
brothers of ours,
I..ying so silently by night and by
day.
Sleeping the years of their manhood
away.
Give them the need they have won in
the past;
Give them the honors their future
forecast
Give then, the chaplets they won in
the strife ;
Give them the laurels they lost with
their life.
Lifting the first wreath, the chaplain
then said, " For our heroes," and cast it
out upon the gently lapping waves. The
second wreath was then given "for loved
ones." Finally, raising in both hands a
large wreath and saying, " In tender
memory of all God's children who have
perished at sea," he let it fall into the
water, all the heads of the ship's company
being reverently bowed.
At about half-past eleven o'clock the
ceremony closed, with taps by Trumpeter
Fuller, after which all hands marched
solemnly forward to their quarters and
broke ranks.— N. Y. Herald, May 31.

Additions to Shaw's Garden.
The area of the Missouri Botanical
CiinleDS, better linown as Sliaw's Gar-
Hen, St. Louis, is to be nearly trebled by
the addition of unimproved land lying
wi'Ht and south of the present gardens.
An addition of 22 acres, known as the
.North American tract, is now being laid
nil and planted. It is the intention of
lir. William Trelease. director of the gar-
dens, and Henry ('. Irish, his horti-
cniliural assi'-tant, to proceed without
iKiste, but the improvements will cer-
liilnly be finished and in a high state of
pel foction by the opening of the World's
Fiiir.
The North American tract, as its name
inlirates, will l)e devoted to liard.v North
AiHiTican plants, the collection of which
i\ ill be the most complete in existence.
later on, as the accruing funds from
tile Shaw estate warrant the additional
expenditure, a OO-acre meadow adjoin-
ing the North American tract on the
north will be taken into the Garden.
This may be five years hence, and it may
be ten, but the purpose of the director is
to have it done as soon as possible.
When the gardens are completed the.y
will comprise 127 acres, and with their
broad driveways, artificial lakes and
great forest trees, will give the people
nnother fine park, in addition to the
iiotanical collection, library and museum,
which Dr. Asa Gray, the famous botanist,
pronouuced "the finest institutions of
their kind in this country."
It is now proposed, in time, to erect a
series of ornamental buildings in the
tract now used as a vegetable garden,
which will be a permanent home for the
botanical library, museum and her-
barium, which are already crowded for
room.
New YorK.
The Market.
We are still having rainy weather
almost every day, and this long-continued
moist condition is having a serious effect
upon inside grown flowers, as well as on
the outdoor product. The supplies for
Memorial Day were not abundant, and
altliough a steaiiy rain fell AVednesda.v
uicirning all flowers obtainable sold
out very satisfactorily. .Judging from
the light consignments that had been the
rule for the past week, we were inclined
to think that growers of roses and carna-
tions were holding back their cuts for
Memorial Day. As the Wednesday's sup-
ply was not much in excess of that of other
days, however, it is apparent that there
has l>een little stock held back for this
holiday, and there will be few complaints
about flowers showing that "tired feel-
ing," as is usually the case at a holiday
time.
(;)n Monday and Tuesday business was
anything but satisfactory; but on
AVednesday there was a general good de-
mand all along the lineand prices took an
upward turn. Itbecnme apparent, also,
that advance orders had been taken at
lower figures than could be obtained over
the counter, a result of the supply being
smaller than was anticipated. The top
grades of American Beauty reached $3
per dozen, and Bride and Bridesmaid $(>
and $8 per loO. Special grades of Kai-
serin Augusta Victoria and President
t'arnot ran two or three cents higher
than the figure for Bride, but this stock
was onl.v to be hjid in limited quantities.
'I'he supply of carnations was liardly
eipial to the demand, and ordinary
blooms brought ^ISM an<l $2 easily, ex-
tni flowers of Flora Hill and Wm. Scott
realizing $3. Some Mrs. Thomas W.
Lawson brought $.T and $C) per 100,
I'rosperity $S, and Mrs. G. M. Bradt at
$3 and $4. Scarlet varieties went well.
V. W. Ward's new one, Joseph H. Manley,
Eight-Foot Combination Roee Riant— Faith, Hope and Charity-
Grown by Anton Schultheis
is realizing top prices whenever obtaina-
ble.
Sweet peas are generally of poor quali-
ty, owing to the protracted spell of dull
weather. The demand tor this stock was
good, and for the few nice blooms on
hand fairly Iilgh prices were obtained,
some realizing i2 perdozenbunches of 10.
The larger majority of the peas were,
however, of inferior quality, and brought
from Sc. to 10c. per bunch.
tJutdoor lily of the valley was plentiful,
though poor, as a rule. The frame grown
product is all right, but not over abun-
dant. Tulips havesuffered fromtoo much
rain and do not sell. I.ilac is selling sat-
isfactorily, and there is a big supply in
sight; this stock brings from 25c. to 50c.
per bunch according to quality.
Lilies are plentiful and are also in good
demand, bringing $r> and S8 per 100.
I'leonies are late, there being very few in
the market; these fetch $1 per dozen.
Gladiolus and iris are to be had in very
limited quantities only. Snowballs (vi-
burnum) are also late, only a very few
being on hand.
Cattleyas are meeting with slow sales.
Fanc.v mignonette is no longer obtaina-
ble. Smilax is clearing out fairly well.
Double white stocks are selling well,
bringing from 15c. to 25c. per bunch. A
few bunches of a pink variety have been
in the market, and forw^liich higherprices
were obtained.
Business at the Cut Flower Excliange
has been quite brisk, everything clearing
out in good shape.
The Clinton I'lant market has been at
its busiest during the last few mornings,
and all kinds of flowering plants have
been readily disposed of.
Auction $al«*8.
This has been an unusually busy
week in the auction rooms. The last
sales previous to Memorial Day are al-
ways the largest of the season so far as
bedding plants are concerned, and this
year has proved no exception. Both Elli-
ott & .Sons and Cleary & Co. had their
rooms crowded to the utmost capacity
with plants, the sales of which were very
satisfactory.
JottlnKB.
Among the retailers trade has been
good in certain sections, while in others
there has liecn little doing. The cause of
the dullness apparently is the continued
wet weather, which has shut off all tran-
sient trade. Where the business has been
better, tins has arisen chiefl.v from steamer
trade, which has been quite hri.sk, and
from commeucementorders that are uow
beginning to come in.

old, and his friends are uneasy over his
long absence from home.
Mtmorlal Day Trade.
Business in the wliolesale district
proved very disappointing on the morn-
ing of Memorial Day; in fact, tliere was
ver.v little call for flowers after noontime
on Wednesday, and stock that came in
Wednesday evening and Thursday morn-
ing was hardly needed, most of it being
still in the dealers' hand when they
closed up at noon Thursday.
The weather was threatening, and this,
no doubt, had much to do with the fact
that only few calls for flowers were made
at the last moment, before Jlemorial
exercises.
In the monster parade that took place
in tins city natural flowers were ver.y lit-
tle in evidence. Some few companies car-
ried emblems, but thes w re made chiefl.v
of immortelles and cape flowers. The va-
rious statues throughout the city were
decorated, principally with galax leaves.
It may be all right to honor a fiead hero
with a wreath of grc-ns, let it he either
of laurel or galax, but it is rendering the
hero a mighty cheap acknowledgement !
When flowers are not obtainable florists
are to be excused for using greens, but to
deliberately use the latter l)eeause there
is more profit to be made, and then ex-
cuse the crime by saying that the custom
is an old Roman or Greek one, and should
be followed, is, we think, a very poor pro-
cedure, even though it is calleil high-class
floral art.

The San Jose Scale.
Editor Florists^ Exchange:
Much has been said in the liorticultural
press the present Spring about wliat is
called the " Scale .Scare" also a berating
of societies in their efforts to secure state
legislation in connection with this pest.
Now, while laws will not enforce them-
selves, no one will deny that laws are
necessary. A case in point is, that when
a nurseryman finds that his stocls is so
infected with a dangerous pest to an ex-
tent that it cannot lie sold to intelligent
buyers, ties the stock in bundles and sells
it in the public square at auction for
whatever it will bring, I raise the ques-
tion. Is It not time for concerted action?

Rhododendron Maximum.
Editor Florists^ Exchange:
On page -189 of the May 4 edition of
The Florists' Excha>ge I note .Joseph
Meehan's remarks in regard to Rhodo-
dendron maximum, which are very in-
teresting, and will no doubt do good to
introduce this plant to those who wish a
broad-leaved evergreen tor massingeffect.
He states that few nurseries have at-
tempted toget this rhododendron. This
ishardiycorrect,a8l have beensuppiying
a great many nurserymen both in this
country and abroad for nearly 15 years
with thousands of Rhododendron maxi-
mum of ail sizes, although the large
collected clumps are used much more
now than a few years ago.

Editor Florists^ Exchange: I
Referring to .lob's comments in a recent ,
issue of our paper, labor tliat is paid foi
according to tlie amount of worlc done
can be organized and tlie members of
sucli organization can be satisfied easily
by tlie rulings of its officers regarding
flours of worli, wages, etc.; because
tlieir worli lias a marliet value that can
be estimated mathematically.
The work of the gardener or florist Ib
more a question of brains than manual
labor; and as it is impossible to fix i,
market value on braius it will be impoB-
sible to form good gardeners and fforistB
into a trades' union. B. S.
Cuts of Carnation Blooms.
Editor Florists' Exchange.
I have been interested in the recent,
notes and queries as to the cut of carna-J
tion blooms. In reference to the same 1 1
have by me the exact records of my cut ■
for several years past which are rflthei
interesting reading to me, after notinj;
what some growers can do. To cut tht
matter short, however, I am generallj
pretty well satisfied if I pick 350 everj
week from each 1.000 plants during th€
Winter season. This seems in compari-
son some clips pretty low, still taking all
varieties and all weather into considera-
tion, it is, with me, a fairly accurate esti-
mate. My annual average of standard
varieties shows about 37per6quarefoot,
My own experience also shows there arc
no heavy crops without correBpondinglj
long intervals of off-crops. S. B.
Free Seed; Butted Glass.
Editor Florists' Exchange:
I'orinit me to add my mite to the (lis
cussiou on the government tree distri-
bution of seeds. 1 have received a pack
age of these seeds,and instead of thenami
of the variety, every package simply bean
the legend, "A .Selected Variety." I.con
sider the seeds absolutely worthless, an(i
would not dream of planting them ex-
pecting to obtain a satisfactory return,
but may do so out of curiosity to set
what they will produce.
I was much interested in your report
of Mr. Wood's address in The Flobists
Exchange of April 20 and 27. I do not,
however, agree with him in his disap-
proval of butted glass. I have now ont
small house with butted glass and one
with lapped glass, and am arranging to
build a new house, 20 x 100, for which 1
shall use 16 x 24 glass, butted. I would
be pleased to hear some good arguments
against the use of butted glass, if there
are any.

Trade Items.
In spite of so many wet days — three
last week and four this one^business for
Memorial Day was very good. All kinds
of cut flowers were scarce, but with the
aid of outdoor stock, such asiris, achillea,
spiraeas, pa'onles, etc., orders were filled
satisfactorily. The wholesale houses were
able to supply all regular customers, but
were rather tardy in taking any orders
from new ones. Prices stiffened some-
what: but as most of the stock offered
was not extra good, it was difflcult to
ol)tain any high values. Roses were pro-
bably scarcer than other flowers, and sold
out early. What piBonies came in went
at $8 per 100; they were mostly dark red
in color.
The plant trade has been very good ;
prices have been low, as in the past few
years. Geraniums were sold at $6 per
100. but those who disposed of the plants
at that price were soon sold out ; and
then others obtained $8 and $10 per 100.
Owing to so much damp weather, it has
been difficult to keep flowering plants in
good condition, and all outdoor work
has been greatly retarded, nothing being
as far advanced as it should be.
News Notes.
Pennock Bros, report business as
very good ; in fact, rather surprising for
the'time of year. They are really doing a
Winter business yet. Among other orders
they are shipping cut flowers to Porto
Rico, and have a large wedding order for
New Orleans.
Robert Atkinson, one of the old-time
florists of this vicinity, died at his home
at Edgewater Park, last week. The fune-
ral took place on the 23rd ult.
Edw. Reid shipped .35,000 carnations,
all flrst-class stock, for Memorial Day
orders.
A Model Rose House.
The Floral Exchange have just
completed their mammoth new rose
liouse at Edgely, Pa. This house is 54 x
307 feet. It haslOsolidbedsanditisesti
mated that it will take over 10,000 roses
to plant it. The soil "was worked with a
horse, being plowed and harrowed just
as if in an open field. The house is re-
markable for its light construction. The
sash bars are 32 feet in length and are 1%
In. X 21/2 in. They are supported by seven
lines of light angle iron purlins. The cen-
ter posts supporting the ridge pole are
22 feet high, on each side are struts car-
rying the first purlins; also a strut sup-
porting a purlin under the ventilators.
Other purlins are supported by light iron
pipe posts. There are no heavy rafters,
so that the effect is remarkable through-
out; 16 X 24 glass has been used, set the
24 in. way in width. The house is well
worth a trip to see. David RnsT.

Memorial Day Trade.
Memorial Day business, up to Wed-
nesday, was reported by the wholesalers
as very good indeed. The market was
well supplied, considering the weather,
belating as it did many of the blooms
relied on from out-of-doors at this season.
The demand for roses was principally for
smallergrades which sold wellatfrom $3
to f6 per 100. The larger ones, for
which $8 or more was asked, did not
move nearly so fast.
Carnations of all kinds sold very well,
and at good figures. Extra and A No 1
stock brought $4 per 100, white medium
grades made .$3 and $3.50 and poorer
flowers 82 to .'12.50 per 100. Colored
stock sold best. Lilies were very plenti-
ful, due no doubt to the many late ones
at Easter time, and which had been held
back for the present occasion, a process
for which the weather was admirable.
Good stock sold fairly well at $5 to $6
per 100. F. J. N.

Owing to the storm of last Sunday the
opening of the new Horticultural Hall in
Boston has been postponed from May 29
until .lune 3. The storm has delayed
many of the plants that are to be part of

grown with reference to the date origin-
ally set for opening. Beginning on June
3, the exhibition will hist seven days,
ending on the evening of Sunday, .lune 9.

Alarket News.
The past week has been cold and
dreary, with the thermometer ranging
around 50 most of the time, and no sun-
shine; therefore, the cut of flowers has
diminished wonderfully, and prices have
advanced; even carnations are scarce,
and where we were selling last week at;
50c. per 100, to-day. May 28, we are get-
ting $1.50 and $2. Very little outdoor
stock is in sight, iris being the principal
flowers, and these have been more or less
damaged by the rains. P<«ponies are late
and were not ready for Memorial Day.
The cold weather has given a decided
check to the bedding trade and it will be
well into June before many flower beds
will be seen in this locality.
Jottings.
The Peterson sale of palms occurred
Thursday last, and was very satisfactory
to Mr. Peterson, although there was not
a large attendance. About $700 worth
of stock was disposed of. J. S. Wilson,
representing J. C. Vaughan, of Chicago,
and John Bertermann, of Indianapolis,
were the only out of town buyers. The
balance of the stock will be sold at auc-
tion at Mr. Peterson's Race street store
about .Tune 6 or 7. There is quite a lot
of good plants yet to be disposed of.
.John Freis, of Newport, Ky ., is building
a new range of liouses, consistingof five,
each 150 feet long, in addition to his old
range. His son Ed., who has a new range
of hbuses situated about a mile from his
father's place, containing five houses, each
100 feet long, now offers to sell, in order to
move back to take charge of his father's
range. This is a good chance for some
young man to invest in a nice business.
C. J. Jones, assisted by a dozen able lieu-
tenants, will give the florists' annual
outing at Coney Island, Thursday, July
18. At this outing it is expected to make
enough money to put a float in the Fall
festival parade.
The annual meeting of the Cincinnati
Florists' Society will occur Saturday
evening, .June 8, at 8 o'clock. All mem^
bers are requested to be present.
The carnation growers in this vicinity
have had lots of trouble keeping the rab-
bits from eating up the plants. Will and
C. C. Murphy have suffered considerably,
as also has R. Witterstivtter. The little
rabbits seem to be especially fond of Dick's
Evelina, and will travel clear across the
patch to where that particular variety is
planted.
Critchell's work in the parks is now be-
ginning to show up nicely, the landscape
gardening here is much improved. Flower
beds are scattered here and there all
through the many parks, and the poor as
well as the rich can enjoy them.

Market News.
Nearly a week of more or less con-
tinuous rainy and cloudy weather each
day, and quite cool much of this time,
has not tended to a lively outlook for
Memorial Day business. .Some trade has
been going on of late in spite of untoward
weather conditions, however, and the
store men call business fair. Aside from
its being turned into a general holiday.
Memorial Day in Buffalo seems to have
largely lost its influence in respect to
creating a large florists' trade.
With retailers who do a plant business,
it seems to make their busy times a bit
busier or more crowded for a few days.
The bedding plant growers locally,
seem to have met conditions well, and the
leading up-to-now-offered stock, viz.,
geraniums, is in nice ample supply and
good quality. \ going price to dealers
ranges from $8 to $10 per 100 for 4-iuch
pot plants, the general size. C. F. Chris-

Trade Condltioua.
Tlie early part o( last week Rluts
and low prices prevailet-I, hut on Friday
and Saturday a siiddrii diminution in the
receipts was nutieealilc. Last Monday
morningc the stiorta|;'r l)eeame more i)ro-
nouiiceil tlian ever, and it looked as if
holdinK' back was heiiiK practiced, for it
seems hardly possible that supplies
should .so suddenly cease. Prices Mon-
day morning stiffened; lor paMjnies $1
was asked for Drop White, and .50c. to
Toe. per dozen for other kinds. Roses, it
is more than probable, have suffered from
the weather and too little firing- during
the phenomenally cool days, but with
carnations such is hardly the case, and
there will be an abundance of them, if we
mistake not, when it is too late.
A few candiilumlilieshave been shipped
in friMu the South, but they arrived in
bad order. Good supplies of loiigiHornm
are around, Klehms having a nice lot;
this firm also has been sending in e.xtra
fine sprays of Charles Xlilac. Buettneralso
has had some splendid new French white
lilac.
The cold weather has put a sudden
damper on the plant trade. There cer-
tainly is qinte a revival feeling pervjiding
the city in the \va,v of gardening, cre.-tted
by the daily papers, especially the Tri-
bune, and which must help tlorists who
do a plant trade. The railroads also are
helping b.v beautifying the grounds
around their stations. The Rock Island
has engaged as landscape gardener, Mrs.
Annette Mct'rea, whohas begun her work
in earnest at many stations.
The Hilmers (.\rt Floral Vn.) report
gi'eat success this Spring with window
box trade, as well as in all kinds of out-
door orders.
The Walter Uetzer Co. are also very
busy in the same lines, having eight men
planting and preparing gardens.
This week come the Memorial Day calls,
an<l if the weather be only favorable the
business done both in plants and flowers
will be satisfactory. The G. A. R. men
see to it that the custom of decorating-
graves is well kept up here and have n<iw
listed 75 cemeteries in Cook C'ount.v that
contain 4,. ">00 of the identifleil henie.s—
Rose Hill, with it.-)(l: Graceland, Ci.'O;
Oakwoods, 600; Calvary, L'-IO; Forest
Home, 220; Waldheim, 1 l.~i, down to
single graves in village cemeteries, every
one of w^hich they propose to decoi'ate.
The first observance of this kind in this
city <iccurred the last Sunday in Mtiy,
1867. At that early day but few flowers
could becd>tainerl from greenhouses; and
iov years hundreds of bo-xes of out d(.>or
stock came from Southern Illinois; Si'iio
to $.S00 was expended by .-i eomnuttee
for the purchase of plants.' Fkirists had
little to ilo with the.se, however, but dirl
a good business in made up pieces for
wealthy i)atrons.
Growers, Parke, etc.
Charles Swanson, l!iilge .Vvenue,
has planted out 30,000 carnations. For
housing he grows largely ICvanston,
Flora Hill, White Clond, Triumjjh. Sport
and .Vrmazindy; for Summer blomning
outdoors, William .Scott, Portia and Mrs.
Fisher. He will grow some General
Gomez, and still hangs on to Lizzie .Mc-
Gowan. He has also some well-grown
S. A. Nutt, and Mrs. E. (i. Hill gerani-
ums. .John Didiei-, also on the Kiilge,
grows nothing but carmitions. The crop
of flowers for iMennu-ial Day will be ([inte
heavy. The plants are still very healthy
and well cared for. Evanston is quite a
sight in the flowers now showing. The
hard.v herbaceous plantgarden of Lincoln
Park is in fine shape this year, the past
Winter and Spring both having been fa^
vorable. The chrysanthemums are in an
unusually good condition; Gardener

The late tulips and hyaciutliB planted

vorable for late bulbs and tree planting-.
The nursery bUBincsshas been extra jX'xhI,

AVeatlier and Trade Conditiona.
After a spell of cool weather, warm
and at thnes hot waves are the rule.
I'lantinp: out is progressing i-ajridly, and
good sliK'k is becoming very scarce, cspe-
ciall.v gerauiums in bloom; thousands
have been kept back by the cloudy, cold
weather. Cut flowers tor Memorial Day
promise to be in short supply.
Wm. G. Hertermaun has returned from
attending the meeting of the S. A. V. in-
corporators at Washington. The meet-
ing was a kind of lovefeast all the wa.v
through, and with the beautiful .Spring
weather and the grand surroundings, no
key was necessary to open anybody's
heart. The ride on the trolley lines and
a trip to the ever beautiful Mouut Ver-
non, were suHicient compensation to oue
for traveling a. great distance to attend
the meeting.
In companj' with Emil Buettner, the
writer visited Gude's greenhouses, and
found the roses yet blooming in profu-
sion and of good quality. Carnations
were already getting to .Summer size, and
losing their loveliness. La I'^rauce, Ameri-
can lleaut.v and Mme. Abel Chateney are
still very tine.
One day was spent in Baltimore, where
Halliday's, Feast's and .John Cook's places
were inspected. Ilalliday still has carna-
tions of good quality, and P'east some
very good roses. At Cook's establish-
ment we were entertained by discourses
on new roses and hybridization in gen-
eral. Mr. C'ook also showed us through
the grand old Robert Garrett grounds.
The writer noticed that geraniums were
not much iu evidence and' the few seen
wei'e poor in quality all .around. It is a
delight here to see some of the fine gera-
niums that are planted out in beds as
well as window lioxes and vases. The
use of bedding plants is somewhat on the
increase in this cit.v.
.Since writing this report the weather
has turned remarkably cool, the tempera-
ture during the day being about 50 de-
gi-ees or lower. Pteonies will not be out
by Memorial Day, consequently green-
house flowers will be in dem.and.

Baltimore. Md. — A limited partnersliip
for tlie purpose of conductiug a seed busi-
ness lias been formed between Joseph O.
Ijinton and Alice Simpson, as special
partners, under the name of W. A. Simp-
son & Co.
Detroit. Mich — IClaborate prepara-
tions are being made for the marriage of
iJiss Queenie Ferry, daughter of D. M.
Ferry, of Detroit, to Avery Coonle.v, of
Chicago. The wedding is to take place
to-day, June 8. It will be a social event
in whicli society people from all parts of
the United States will be present. The
wedding will take place at the Ferry Sum-
mer residence iu Ilnadilla.
Toledo, O. — Radford h. Burge, who
has been tor years with the L.S.Churchill
Seed Company, severed his connection
with that concern on June 1 to go into
business for himself. He and F. O. Pad-
dock and .Tames Hodge will form a com-
pany, to be known as the Toledo Field
.Seed Company, with a capital stock of
f2,'>,000. The new concern will deal
strictly iu timotli.y and clover seed.
A Bean Trust in California. — The
California Cultivator is agitating a bean
trust among the growers in Ventura
County, Cal. Regarding the crop, our
contemporary remarks: Thirty-five thou-
sand acres will be planted to beans in
Ventura County. Buyers are in the field
trying to contract for the crop at 3 tents
or a fraction over. Growers are a little
chary of them and are holding for -t cents.
St. Paul. — The season's trade now
drawing to a close has been one of the
best on record. Sliortage in some lines
forced prices up and curtailed sales in
those particular items. But in general
prices have been fairly well maintained
without being extortionate. (Country
merchants have sold out nearly every-
tliing, whicli promises well for another
sciisoii'.s bu.'^incss.
The demand for corn, millet and all
grass seeds has been exceptionally good.
Trade oi)ened early on these items and
continued late, thus giving the seedsmen
a long season's business which, after all,
is most satisfactory.
Irrcsiil.ii-itic's which are reported in the
Congre.s.sicinal Free .Seed distribution will
most likely receive an airing at the com-
ing seedsmen's convention, but whether
any systematic effort to rectify the
wrongs or the pernicious system, will be
attemptcil remains to be seen.
L. L. May & Co. are starting out their
army of salesmen for another season's
campaign. S. B. Beal, their veteran sales-
man, who was laid up nearly all of last
season, has starte<l again for the south.
Allen Hood, of Iowa, starts out soon
on his tenth year for the firm.
W. Uttcrman, with the above named
firm, is away on an Inspection tour in the
pea growing district of Wisccmsin.
L. L. May and J. E. Northrup recently
made a flying trip to Sioux Citj, Iowa.
Mr. Cox, of California, was a recent
caller, also Mr. Roach of Cambridge.

European Notes.
The event of the week has been the
Temple Show of the Royal Horticultural
Society. This is not only the most im-
portant floral function of the year for
English society, but is rapidl.v assuming
an international character. All the Euro-
pean countries were well represented on
the opening day, while Canada was efti-
ciently represented by .S. E. Briggs. The
products of .Ia]i;iii made a brave display,
thevarious dcsignsof theDavallia bullata
aroused Cfuisiilerable interest. Glorious
weather favored the show, which was
one of the most successful the society has
ever held. Among other items of interest
to seedsmen may be noted: Kalanchoe
flammea (Veitch), a rather small-flowered
variety, but novel and ver.y effective in
color, which latter ma,v best be described
as a flaming salmon, shaded scarlet. Ne-
niesia strumosa Suttoni compacta had a
host of admirers; the range of coh)rs is a
wide one and the culture as simple as a
daisy.
The long spurred hybrid aquilegias can
be strongly recommended. The form and
colors are as beautiful as many of the
orchids. Sutton >t Sons led the way with
calceolarias of the giant form as devel-
oped b.v James. The same firm and .1.
Carter & Co. made a very fine displa.v of
Cineraria stellata., while the gloxinias of
Sutton were immense. In their exhibits
of tuberous rooted begonias, Laing and
Ware ran a dead heat; botli collections
were simply superb.
A new dwarf lobelia, of the same color
as Clintonia. ijulcliclbi, and a variegated
leaved form of nasturtium Tiun Thumb,
crimson, will bo offered to the trade next
season. Cannell exhibited a new culinary
pea, named King l''.<lward \'ll., which is
described as a eross^between lOarliest of
.Ml and Gradus: it bears a strong resem-
blance to the last n.'imcd variety. Another
anil somewhat similar, raised by E.
I'.e»kett, V. M. IL, is to be introduced by
Cutbnsh next season, but it is so varia-
ble in character that it cannot be recoiii-
inended.
Tutted or sweet-scented pansics were in
great form: tlie^e are very popuUir with
us just unw an<I a pure yellow variety
excited considerable interest. Sweet
peas that had been gently forced were ex-
liibited by I )obl lie and Sydenham: the first
named exhibit was the most Interesting,
as the flowers were garnished with sweet
pea foliage ahuR'. Only well-known sorts
were included iu the collections. The
]iart of tlu^ show which was of interest
to florists will tlonbtlcss be dealt with by
your plant correspondents.

insects are to be fought, and kerosene or
some other greasy compound for sucking
ones. Many trees and shrubs are liable
to fungus attacks. There come to mind
lilac, horse chestnut and plane as sub-
jects requiring spraying with Bordeaux
mixture; and the .Sequoia gigantea is
very grateful for similar assistance.
"iThe 8an Jos6 scale is quite troublesome
on many private grounds, and where it ex-
ists on choice trees these should be sprayed
with kerosene emulsion. An esteemed
correspondent wrote me recently to know
what to spray his Pyrus japonica hedge
with, stating it had become full of San
Jos6 scale. My advice to him is to chop
down the hedge, as it is doubtful if the
scale could be so completely destroyed
that it would not breed again. The in-
sect question, with that of fungi, has be-
come such an important one that the
matter of spraying has to be accepted
as a part of the regular work in a gar-
den. Gardeners always have had a hard
time in preserving their trees and fruits:
blights and insects were fought by our
fathers, and the good gardener of to-day
will no more sit down and lose his trees
and his fruits than his forefathers did.
What to spray for and how to make
spraying mixtures are <iuickly learned.
All agricultural stores have pamjihlets
relating thereto, and agriculturalcoUeges
and even the general government, through
its Department of Agriculture, will give
any one the inlormation for the asking.
A liessoQ on Distances. — What seemed
at first sight a curious order was one re-
ceived recently by a Philadelphia nurs-
eryman for someseedlingsof the Douglas
spruce, from Washington, the native
place, among others, of this noble ever-
green. But when the customer added
that, though aware that the tree was a
native of that State, it grew 100 miles
away from where he lived, it was evident
that he wasdoing bettersending here for
nursery-grown seedlings than he would
by getting wildings from his own State.
These instances show how vast our coun-
try is; a fact which even those of us
somewhat familiar with its extent some-
times do not grasp. Europeans totally
fail to realize the extent of our country.
When the writer visited England a few
years ago a lady asked him if he knew
her son, and on being interrogated as to
where he lived, replied, " Why, out there,
in America." A quite Intelligent florist
there who meditated a visit to Philadel-
phia spoke of taking a run to Chicago
to see the exposition, and was thunder-
struck to find the distance from one city
to the other was equal to a third of that
between this country and England. So
it is not strange that though we look to
Washington as the home of the Douglas
spruce, the trees are hundreds of miles
away from many in the State who may
want them.
Developing the Shape of Trees,— It
is something rarely noticed, yet quite
true, that a well developed tree has well
developed roots; in other words, if a tree
is perfectly branched on all sides, the
roots will show the same development.
Old gardeners who have paid attention
to matters like this can judge of the root
system of a tree by its top; and, in select-
ing trees from a nursery, mark those with
branches nicely developed on all sides. A
tree with strong branches on one side
only will have Its strong roots on the
same side. This is the rule. In nurseries
where observant men are employed to
dig trees, they can tell where the strong
roots are to be met with, and so use their
spades to much better advantage than
others.
As it is well understood that roots will
reach out for good food; advantage has
been taken of this fact by placing manure
on the weak side of a tree, to bring out a
good root growth, looking torthe branch
growth at top to follow.
While certainly true that the large roots
and large limbs and increase of girth of
trees are all on the same side, the devel-
oping of the weak side by giving it better
food than the other has not been much
practiced. It is, however, worthy of at-
tention by those who have trees with ill-
balanced branches. Place manure or
other fertilizers on the side of the tree
showing thin development. Roots will
reach out for this food; the small ones
near it 'will become large and strong, and
In the end the strengthening of the shoots
will tie shown in their increased growth.
There is no doubt that many a large tree
with an unbalanced top could be much
improved in appearance by this means.
The Government Arboretum. — We
clip the following from the Philadelphia
Pubhc Ledger, from the pen of its Wash-
ington correspondent:
"Secretary Wilson has decided to
placard the splendid collection of trees in
the Agricultural grounds, something
which should long ago have been done.
He has assigned the work to Mr. B. T.
Galloway, Chief of the Bureau of Plant
Industry, and the work will be done in a
thoroughly systematic and scientific
manner. It is kno^'U to but ievr persons
that there is growing in the Agricultural
grounds probably the finest collection of
trees in the world. For nearly 40 years
the late William Saunders, superintend-
ent of the grounds, occupied himself at
intervals in the collection of rare trees.
Mr. Saunders was a trained horticultur-
ist and an ardent botanist, and no better
mind could have been interested in the
task which he set for himself. With great
painstaking and persistent application
he enlisted the symjjathies of American
officials in the consular service and naval
officers, and persuaded them to secure for
him from all parts of the world the trees
which he desired to welcome into the
government arboretum."
The naming of the trees will be a great,
boon to thousands of persons. Washing-
ton is daily visited by those interested in
just such matters. It is an example that
could be well followed in many of our
large parks. We are inclined to doubt
the correspondent's statement that
"there is growing in the Agricultural
grounds probably the finest collection of
trees in the world." We doubt if the col-
lection comprises as many sorts as could
be found in many first-class nurseries in
this country, to say nothing of the bo-
tanic and other gardens of Europe. The
number of trees would be very large that
made up "the finest collection of trees in
the world."

Raffia Fiber in Madagascar.
I Rotiii, or as it is>;ouerall,v spelt, "raftia,"
js the Malagasy name of n palm whicU
furnislies a staple article of commerce,
called raffia fiber, says the .Jourual of the
Society of Arts. It isiiuiigenous to Mada-
gascar, and it is to be met with every-
where <)n the coasts, needing* neither cid-
tlvntiim nor attention of any kind. It is
not a stately palm, but sends its enor-
mous branches from near the ground; in
a fine specimen one branch is almost a
tree in itself. The rib in each branch is
as much as HO feet long, of a pearly gray
color, smooth and shiny, flat on the inner
surface, but otherwise round, without
any knobs, and so exceedingly hard. At
the base it is as large as an ordinary
ch.ampagne bottle, and tapers to a point
at the top. The inside consists of a light
pith, which can be split into layers of any
thickness. Possibly, says the 'Tnitep
States consul at Tamatave, it is this, or
an analogous production, which is used
tor making pith helmets in the east.
Naturally these ribs combine great
strength with wonderful lightness, and
are used for shafts for "filanjanas"' or
palanquins, ladders, or other purposes,
but otherwise luiTC no particular com-
mercial value. It is the pinnate leaves
which produce the raflia fiber of com-
merce. One palm frond will produce .SO
or 100 long green leaflets from 2 to 5
feet in length, like the leaves of the sugar-
cane, hut of a dark, lustrous green, and
both thicker and stiffer. These, again,
contain a round and pliant rib, which the
natives utilize for making baskef.s and
dreilges for catching .small fish and
Khrimps in the rivers after they have
stripijed off the green part which furn-
ishes the fiber. The under part of this
green leaf (which is not exposed to the
light, as it remains folded), is of a pale
greenish-yellow color and from that side
the inner skin can be peeled off in the
same manner as the skin on the outside
of a pea-pf)d, except that it peels off
straight to the tip without breaking. It
is then of the palest green, and after
being dried in the sun assumes a light
straw color.
This is the raflia fiber of commerce. It
was originally sought for by the natives
for use in articles of clothing. The men
bring in the fronds, and women and girls
weave it on hand-looms, of any coarse-
ness or fineness. Woven just as it is peeled
off from the fronds, it forms a kind of
sacking used for wrapping goods, while
the ])erfection of the art, as known by the
Hovas only, is to weave a tissue of which
the warp is raffia fibersplit very fine, anil
the weft of white silk. This gives an
article called silk lamba, which fetches
fancy prices in Europe and .America. The
coast tribes use it for clothing, but of
moderate flnenes.s, with dyed stripes of
indigo, saffron, black, and a dirty green.
It is a cold, comfortless looking material,
and refuses to adapt itself to any folds
that a sculptor woulil care to copy.
RaHia fiber is used in Madagascar by
nurserymen, gardeners, etc., for tying up
vines and flowers, and possibly for graft-
ing. It possesses the advantage of being
as soft as silk, anil is not affecte<l by
moisture or change of temperature so as
to risk cutting or wounding the most
delicate tendrils, and it does not break or
ravel when fohled or kuotteil. These
qualities bring it into use all over Europe
and consequently maintain its price. It
is virtually inexh.nistible in Madagascar,
the supply being limited only by the scar-
city of labor. For export the fiber is
merely collected in large skeins, twisted
up or plaited, and then baled like raw
cotton, Madagascar exports about l*<),-
000 bales annually.

Tra<le NoteB.
Ileviewing the trade of the past few
weeks, we can report a very satisfactory
business among the local florists, despite
unfavorable weather, a late .Spring — in
fact, one of the mt)st backward seasons,
as far as the weather is concerned, that
has been known for many years to this
section of the cijuntry. The weather for
the past several weeks has been cold and
with very little sun.shine; this has retard-
ed vegetation, and in Cfinsequence the
supply of stocks has been shortened to
such an extent that offerings were far
from adequate to fill the demand. Grow-
ers have found little difficulty in i)lacing
their entire product of cut bloom, and at
this writing the movement in all kinds of
cut flowers is brisk; in fact, we are safe
in statingthatdouble the fiuantities that
are now coming in would not overstock
the market. The most noticeable short-
age is in roses and carnations; every-
thing that is offered in these is closely
cleaned up each day and at very fair
prices. Carnations sell at $1 to S2..">0
per 100, roses $2 and $8 per 100 for
short stem stock; $5 and $G for the best.
Sweet peas are coming in in goodly <iuan-
tities, but are eagerly sought after and
find (|uick sales at the ruling price, 35c.
per 100. Longiflorum lilies l5ring $5 per
100. Paiony blooms are still in short
supply, and those offered bring $5 a. 100.
From present indications the wholesale
market will be easier from now on, as we
have promise of brighter weather, and a
few bright days increase the cut materi-
ally; but in the face of the usual .lune
business in weddingdecorationsand com-
mencement work, together with the con-
siderable amount of funeral work that is
coming in, it is not at all likely that the
prices now holding will show any change
until the middle of the month or after.
In the line of wedding decorations many
of the retailers have some very nice orders
booked, but the volume of business in
this connection will fall far short of what
it was for the corresponding month of
last year.
Memorial Day Trade.
In sirite of the long spell of dull
weather that preceded Memorial Day
there was a generally satisfactory traxle,
but not equal to what might have been
dime had the weather been more propi-
tious. Immense quantities of plant stock
had iH'cn grown on, and all that showed
bloom was [jractically cleaned ont at
moderate in'ices. But there was so much
choice bedding stock which could not be
brinight into tlower in time thatgrowers
did not realize on their stocks what they
had hoped to. Still, few are comijlaining.
The ft)rced (luiet that reigned so long
before Memorial Day afforded a very
poor outlet for the growers, and a cold
spell following that (lay shut out all late
demand, so that at this writing there are
but few growers who have not an im-
mense lot of choice stock on hand to find
a market for as soon as the weather
warms up enough to encourage itlanting
out. G. A. T.

Quite a serious clash has occurred be-
tween Fruit Inspector Brown and two ot
the prominent nurserymen of the city,
and it seems liliely that the courts will
eventually be called upon to settle the
matter by deciding on the correct inter-
pretation of the phraseology of the sec-
tion of the state law prescribing the
powers of the fruit in.spector. The nurs-
eries in question are the Washington Flo-
ral Company, conducted by Mr. .1. Holzt.
The fruit inspector stated that he would
take immediate charge, pending the set-
tlement of an appeal which the nursery-
men have taken from an order the fruit
inspector gave them to disinfect some ot
their plants within 24 hours. It is also
understood that they question his orig-
inal jurisdiction over the greenhouses of
the city, and have embodied thi.s in their
appeal,
Harrisburg, Pa.
The greenhouses of Jacob D. Breune-
man, corner of Cameron and Reily Streets,
were robbed Tuesday night, May 28, of
almost all of the Bowers which were to
have been cut for Memorial Day trade.
Very few of the plants were broken or de-
stroyed. The blossoms only were clipped
from the stalks and bushes. It is sup-
posed that the thieves got their Ijooty
out of town and disposed of it in some
neighboring city. Mr. Brenneman stated
that he could hardly estimate his loss,
but that it wasratherextensive. He has
no idea who the guilty person or persons
may be.
Kansas City, Mo.
The florists ot all this western and
southwestern country will be invited to
participate in a great floral exhibit in
convention hall next Fall. Manager Louis
Shouse of convention liall has sent letters
to many florists asking that they give
their views on such a project. It will be
carried out on an immense scale or not at
all. It is probable that premiums as high
as $500 each will be given for the finest
exhibits in particular classes.
St. Joseph, Mo.
It is probable that several of the florists
of the city will bring injunction profced-
ings against tlie Board of Tark Commis-
sioners to restrain them from distribut-
ing flowers from the parks among the
residents of the city. The florists claim
that tills practice is detrimental to their
business. Tlie florists have not yet filed
proceedings because they are not certain
as to the law in the matter. They are
consulting attorneys.

NEPHROLEPIS WITTBOLDll
HEKE is a plant of N. Wittboldii lifted from
the bench. After being photographed 40
runners were taken from this plant and
potted up. It Is even more prolifie than the well-
known Boston fern. It has not only greatly
added beauty and grace but possesses every
characteristic necessary to make it a money
maker for the small as well as large grower. It
produces with remarkable freedom, grows quickly
into a fine specimen and as a house plant is fully
as tough and lasting as N. Bostoniensis.

More carnations and short roses might
have been disposed of to advantage. In
roses tlie demand was almost entirely for
the smaller grades, and everything of this
description sold out early at from $2 to
S6 per 100, Roses, for which $8 or up-
wards was aslied, were not in such de-
mand, though the majority of these
moved pretty well. American Beauty
were held at their usual prices, and Bride
and Bridesmaid, of extra quality, made
$10, No. 1 fetching $8 and the smaller
grades as above quoted. Liberty, Me-
teor, Mrs. Morgan and such colored
stock sold vei-y well at $2 to $4 or $5,
the large majority of it being of the
smaller grades.
Carnations had been scarce all week,
and prices were gradually increased until
Thursday, when $4 per 100 was realized
for some good stock. The general aver-
age for first quality flowers, however,
was about ^.3.50 per 100, though many
sold at £.3, and some of the poorer grades
at $2 and $2,50 per 100. All were well
cleaned up.
Lilies were very plentiful, more so this
year than for some time, many of them
being from the belated Easter stocks, held
back for this occasion; $6 per 100 was
realized for best flowers, though many
had to be sold at lower figures. Spirseas,
stocks, candytuft, etc, were plentiful, the
former making $2 per 100, stocks fetch-
ing from $2 to $4, the latter price for
some extra fine flowers.
Lilac was plentiful, and with deutzia
and one or two of the earlier shrubs, like
staiihylea, etc., was the only thing from
outside in any quantity.
I'aiisies, daisies, myosotis, myrtle in
baskets, sold very well, and hydrangeas
and spira-a in pots were also in demand.
This week the market has steadied
down after the rush. Some little bu.si-
ness among the wholesalers is coming in
from out of town, for school commence-
ments, graduations and weddings. The
city trade has quieted down; an occa-
sional wedding order livens miitters up,
it being yet a Uttle early for commence-
ments here.
Roses continue of good quality, and
hold at about the same prices as above
quoted, but carnations have become more
plentiful, and values have dropped, the
best grade now making but $1,50 per
100, with fancies at $2, many very good
flowers selling at 75c. and $1 per 100.
Sweet peas are quite plentiful, but
move very well at 35c. to 50c. per 100,
and clean up daily. Pansies continue in
good supply at 25c. per 100. Lilies are
still coming in very much fasterthan they
can be used, consequently values are
lower, good flowers selling at $3 and $4
per 100, Outdoor lily of the valley is
about played out, having been spoiled by
the rains of last week, but some very
good stock from frames is brought in anil
sells at $2 to $2.50, a limited supply of
extra quality, however, making $3. The

demand just now is quite heav,y,Mune
wedding bouquets being the cause.
A fev,' very good gladioli are now in ;
the demand for such stock, however, is
not heavy.
The orders for furnishing the bouquets
for the school festival were given out
last Friday. As usual, these were divided
among many, in lots of from 100 to 400.
In all about 3,000 bouquets have been
ordered.
Among Growers.
A trip to Wm. Sim's greenhouses at
Cliftoudale, three or four days before Me-
morial Day, revealed a ver.vfine lot of
candytuft and stocks grown for this holi-
day. For some years these have been
Mr. Sim's specialties at this season, fol-
lowing Princesse de Galles violets, which
were preceded by chrysanthemums. These
three crops he works ver.v successfull.v,
together with a house of carnations.
This season Mr. Sim had two houses of
very fine candytuft, which was perhaps
the best brought in to the Boston mar-
ket, the spikes being of immense size and
very heavily flowered. Stocks, too, are
very finely grown at this place.
In his carnation house, Mrs. Frances
Joost, G. H.Crane, Mrs. George M.Bradt,
Olympia and Eldorado looked very well.
The carnations in the field, which had
only been planted a few days, were com-
ing along nicely.
Opening: of Honicultural Hall.
The magnificent new horticultural
hall was opened on Monday night with
one of the finest exhibitions ever gathered
together under one roof. This exhibition
was entirely different from the regular
scheduled shows of the Massachusetts
Horticultural Society, and was in charge
of Professor C. S. Sargent, the committees
of the society having nothing wh.ttever
to do with it. There was no judging of
exhibits, no prizes being offered, and the
various plants sent in by the several ex-
hibitors bore no card of their owners,
but were all massed together; that is,
azaleas from Professor Sargent and
from the Hunnewell Estate at VVellesley
were massed together as one large group;
orchids froiu Mrs. F. L. Ames stood side
by side with others from E. V. R. Thayer,
and so on.
Professor Sargent was one of the larg-
est exhibitors, and other plants were sent
in by C. S. Sprague, Dr. C. G. Weld and
J. H. White, of Brookline; H. H. Hunne-
well, uf ^yellesley, Mrs. F. L. Ames, of
North ]';aston, E. V. K. Thayer, of South
Lancaster, and Messrs. Eog'ers and Win-
sor, of Fair Haven. In the vestibule no
attemptat decoration was made, though
here one of the finest pairs of hay trees in
America (those from the Sprague estate)
were placed. From here the entrance to
the show was at the large room on the
Huntington .\ venue side of the building,
which is to be known as the lecture hall.
Here the first thing to attract the atten-
tion was a fine group of wistarias in full
bloom, grown in large tulis, back of
which arose some handsome specimen
palms, one reaching a height of 25 feet.
At the rightsideof the room, a handsome
lot of gloxinias was arranged with adi-
antum before a bank of palms. This ta-
ble presented a very tasty appearance,
and was cleverly arranged. Three very
fine white wistarias on this table at^
tracted considerable attention. Another
bank of pelargoniums ran the whole
length of the room. The stage was
banked with amaryllis in their brilliant
hues, against a background of longiflo-
rum lilies.
The loggia, which is perhaps six or eight
feet above the level of the exhibition hall,
was the vantage point from which to
feast the eye on a sight not soon to be
forgotten. Directly in the center of the
hall was an oval patch in which 35 aza-
lea plants were cleverly arranged, the
pots and tubs being entirely concealed by
a mound of loam and sods, the whole
giving the appearance of the plants grow-
ing in a raised bed. The two corners of
the large hall were banked in azaleas, a
solid mass of white at the right, while on
the left, in vivid contrast, was a magnifi-
cent massing of red varieties. At first
sight it was the massing of the colors
which caught the eye, but on closer ex-
amination, the many fine specimens that
created the goi-geous effect stood out.
Especially was this true of the center,
where, besides some enoi'mous plants
were four finely grown pyramidal-shaped
white azaleas, which rather relieved the
flat appearance this bed would otherwise
have presented.
.\t the extreme end of the hall, rhodo-
dendrons were banked with telling effect.
At the top of the bank were several im-
mense plants, each bearing hundreds of
trusses.
The room to the left of the main hall,
and which will be used as a smaller exhi-
bition room for the various Saturdav
shows through the season, was entirelv
given up to orchids, very tastefully
arranged with Adiantums cuneatum and
Farleyense, and palms. Here, perhaps,
one of the best collections of orchids ever
gotten together in Boston at this season
of the year was seen. Man.v of the
choicest and rarest plants in the collec-
tions at the Ames, Thayer, Rogers and
Winsor conservatories were sent m, in-
cluding some that had never before been
out of the Conservatories for any occa-
sion.
This exhibition is to be open until 10
p. m., on Sunday, June 9. From the at-
tendance the first three days, no doubt
all attendance records will be broken be-
fore the close of the show. Music is pro-
vided during the afternoon and evening,
and refreshnients are served in the base-
ment, all of which features demonstrate
the thoroughness with which every detail
was arranged b.y Professor Sargent and
his assistants.
Among those from out of town noticed
at the show were; Wm. R. Smith, of
Washington, D. C; Mr. and Mrs, Alex.
Wallace, Arthur Herrington, James W.
Withers and A. Dimmock, New York;
Timothy MciJartby, Superintendent of
Swan Point Cemeter.v: FaninliarMacRae,
Robert Hogg, and Wm. E. (happell, of
Providence, R. L; and C. D. Thayer,
Worcester. F. J. Norton.
On Tuesda.v afternoon Superintendent
Pettigrew of the Park neijartment pro-
vided a treat to a tew of the visitors to
the exhibition, in the form of a drive
through a portion of the city's extensive
parking system, and the Arnold Arbore-
tum. Mr. Pettigrew is doing some excel-
lent work in the parks here, and has com-
pleted lots of planting since he took hold,
four years ago, of what is probably the
largest system in the country. Boston
is proud of her parks, and justly so; and
she is fortunate in having as superintend-
ent Mr. Pettigrew.
In the Arboretum the fine collection of
lilacs was greatly admired. Mr. Daw-
son's new .\zalea inclica was a blaze of
color, noticeable from a great distance.
Lack of time precluded more than the
most hasty look around this grand edu-
cational institution.

the I'ennsylvania Horticultural Society to
decide as to an exhibition of outdoor
roses, cut flowers, have resolved to hold
the show on the 18th, the date of the
regular meeting. Whilethisdate will not
suit all, it was thought best for the ma-
jority. The season is a very peculiar one.
One member cut General Jacqueminot
roses, out doors, on Monday last, while
two others stated they could not cut be-
fore the 12th or 13th. Special prizes are
offered for outdoor roses, sweet peas,

OUR SUPPLEMENT.
Group of Everg:reens In
Falrmount Park, Philadelphia.
Tlie illustration presented with this
issue displays a pleasing effect, produced
by the planting of a group of evergreens
iu the foreground of some large oaks and
tulip trees. The planting was done a
good mauy years ago, when the trees
were of small size. They are now at their
best height for effect, aud in time some
may have to be removed to give others
room for full development. These views
are all lessons in planting, as indeed all
plantings are.
As one can readily see, it is the back-
ground of large deciduous trees that adds
beauty to the picture. It is in matters
like this tliat the ability of a landscape
gardener is demonstrated — to so arrange
liis planting that not only is it at once a
pleasure to the beholder, but a lasting-
one. As grow the trees in beauty, so
does tlie whole scene.
The two dwarf evergreens in the front
of the picture are dwarf mountain pines,
Pinus Mughus, while the dwarf one, of
larger growth, to the right of the others,
is a golden form of the Scotch pine. 'The
beautiful pine of conical gi-owth to the
left of the two dwarf ones is Pinus mon-
tana; the next to it, and immediately be-
hind the two dwarf pines, is the white
pine, Pinus strobus, and next to that, of
pyramidal outline, is Pinus monticola.
In the background, to the left of the pic-
ture, are some more Pinus strobus; also
some of the Himalayan pine — Pinus ex-
celsa. The deciduous trees are black oak,
Quercus tinctoria, and tulip tree, Lirio-
dendron tulipifera.
The dwarf mountain pine is a most de-
sirable evergreen for many positions, bj'
itself as well as in the front of a group;
as is also a dwarf variety of the white
pine. It is well to mention here that some
confusion ot names exists in the case of
this pine, P. montana and P. Mughus
being used indiscriminately. The best
nurseries of Europe make the dwarf
spreading one P. Mughus, and the taller
one P. montana, a distinction we think
very good. P. montana, though never
a tall pine, grows considerably taller
than does P. Mughus, which is really al-
most a creeper. Both sorts will often
come from the same packet ot seeds ob-
tained from Europe.
The white pine is recognized everywhere
when young for its great beauty, which
its silvery foliage aud style of growth
give it. This pine stands pruning very
well; and we have seen specimens skil-
fully pruned which were so dense that a
bird could hardly get through tliem.
Beautiful as is the white pine, it has to
give way in stately grandeur to the
Himalayan, which, with the silver foli-
age of the other, lias longer, drooping
needles, and a more massive growth,
being unsurpassed as a lawn tree, where
there is ample room for its full develop-
ment.
Pinus monticola is known as the Pacific
coast representative of the white pine.
Though of somewhat similar color, aud
of close alliance to the latter, the needles
are shorter and more rigid, while tlie tree
itself is of a pyramidal outline, ol much
beauty. In its home, in Northern Calfor-
nia, it reaches a height of from 75 to 100
feet.
The golden pine is one of the varieties
of theScotch Pinus sylvestris, aud besides
its beautiful golden color, it is of dwarf
growth, as shown iu the photograph.

PAMPHLETS RECEIVED.
Bulletin of the New Y'ork Botani-
cal Garden.— Volume No. 2 of this pub-
lication, containing the reports of the
various officials for 1900, has just lieeu
issued. The Director-in-chief, Dr. N. L.
Britton, in his statement says the total
number of species grown in the lierba-
ceous grounds during the year is about
2,300. The collection of species of shrubs
in the fruticetum numbers 450; aliout 40
species of willows are represented in the
salicetuni. About 220 kinds of tires are
now represented iu the Garden, exclusive
of those still in the nurseries.
In the main cciiiscrvatories the number
of species contained in the collection is
about 1,800, aud the number of indi-
vidual specimens, nearly all of which are
now in the tubs or potted, is 8,838. 'Tlie
Director states, "the wliole collection has
been broughttogether without the actual
purchase of more than $100 worth of
specimens."
In addition to the reports the volume
contains several scientitie papers, together
with numerous explanatory plates.

climbing rose Gainsborough, a sport from
Viscountess Folkestone, identical with
that variety in every way, excepting that
it is a vigorous climber. The flowers are
described as ot immense size, resembling

S. A. F. 0. H. and The O Iher Societies.
Having read the comments upon the
action of the incorporators of the S. A.
F. and O. H. in Washington, the writer
is surprised at the unity ot sentiment in
favor of their work. Except a fusilade
ot bird shot from our good brother at
Cincinnati, the tenor of the correspond-
ence is practically an indorsement ot
what has been done.
To clear the haze so that our pessimis-
tic brother from Chicago can read hie
"title clear to mansions in the skies" the
following amendment might be in order:
" Delegates from co-oiierative societies
to the S. A. F. and O. H. Executive Com-
mittee meeting must be members in good
standing in theS. A. ¥. O. H. and their
expenses must be paid by the co-opera-
tive society which they represent."
John G. Esler.
Much can doubtless be said in favor of
the closer affiliation of the various sub-
organizations with the S. A. F. O. H. It
seems, however, as though little can be
done by the larger society, more than to
be ready to meet the specialists half-way.
I am satisfied that nothing would be
gained by any attempt to coerce,or even
to hasten, these societies in any action
iu the matter. They must first be satis-
fled that their specialties will be as well
or better cared tor than underthepresent
arrangement. This, it seems to me, can-
not be done without the receipt of an
increased income by the central body.
This seems to require largermembership,
or increased annual dues; in other words,
that the S. A. F. O. H must foot the bills.
Under these conditions, as the "co-opera-
tive" societies in the first place set up in
business tor themselves, feeling that the
S. A. F. O. H. did not offer all that they
required, it would seem that the first
proposition should come from them. It
could then be seen whether or not they
would otter the necessary support to
enable the S. A. F. to maintain them
properly. Adam Graham.

Opening of Boston's New
Horticultural Hall.
On Monday evening, June 3, I'JOl, the
third hall owned by and constructed tor
the purposes of the Massachusetts Horti-
cultural Society since its inception was
formally opened by an exhibition. Dedi-
catory exercises were considered unneces-
sary, so that no account of any oratori-
cal effort, eulogistic or otherwise, shall
pass down to future generations, in con-
nection witli this very auspicious event
in the historj' ot the oldest and most pro-
gressive horticultural body iu the Hnited'
States.
The exhibition was in nowise a com-
petitive one; merely a sort of love darg,
contributed to^by several of tlie society's
most infiuential and enthusiastic mem-
bers, in order that the occasion might be
graced by the choicest ornamental plant
products existing In the city and neigh-
borhood. Each contributor's plants were
intermixed with those ot his neighbor,
bearing distinguishing tags for identiflca-
tioii purposes when tlie show should be
over; and all were grouped to the best
advantage. No prizes were awarded.
The arrangement and superintendence
ot the exhibition were in the hands of
Prote.ssorCharIesS.Sargentot the ArnoUl
.\rboretiiui, who had as an aide Miss
Beatrix Jones, the landscape artist. The
exhibition hall in its practically finished
condition presents but little attractive-
ness in tlie way of within mural decora-
tion; the great vaulted divisions, with
their sombre-colored brick embellishmente
being rather uninviting than otherwise.
It cannot be said that the interior orna-
mentation ot the structure will minify oi
neutralize the beauty ot the exhibits that
may be placed within the building; in
short, plainness iu the extreme seems ti.
have been the ruling passion of those re-
sponsible tor the creation of the building,
with respect to its interior arrangement
The lecture hall, into which the vestibuli
leads, was well lighted: and here oi
raised benches, along three sides, wen
placed collections of gloxinias, pelargo
ninms, hybrid amaryllis, interspcrec;
with palms. From among the gioxiniat
towered at intervals several handsonu
specimens ot Wistaria sinensis alba, Calln
Elliotiana forming corner groupings
.\notlier group of the lavender colored
wistaria, large, noble plants in tubs in
this room was the admiration of all, anil
deservedly so. At the entrance to the ex-
hibition hall proper stood some grand
specimens ot Rhyncospermum jasminoidet
iu pyramidal form. From the landing
here, the visitor looked down upon one
ot the most gorgeous displays of Indian
azaleas that it is possible to behold;
their beautiful and harmonious colorings
dazzling the eye witli thericliness of their
splendor, which was heightened by the
excellent light afforded. Some were in
pyramidal shape, others having a spread
rarely seen in the best specimens of this
always fascinating and useful exhibition
plant.
The floor ot the exhibition hall was
converted into a miniature garden. Green
turf covered the floor space, in which the
pots were sunk, so as to be completely
liidden, the whole creating an effect at
once natural and pleasing. At the far
end of the liuilding an extensive group of
rhododendrons reached halfway up the
brick wall, and obscured almost entirely
the great door, which gives to this por-
tion of the structure a rather barn-like
appearance. This door, however, has its
utilitarian side, tor it provides a means
of ingress and egress for wagons loaded
witli plants, .-ind cibviates lots of hand-
ling and liard work incident on carrying,
which theold linililing imposed. Iu suita-
ble places many palms and other foliage
plants were dispersed to adv.antage.
In a room off the main hall, but which
by a manipulation of several doors can
be made to form a part ot it, the orchids
were staged. This was an unfortunate
arrangement, and did much to detract
from tlie great beauty ot what was pos-
sibly the most costly and extensive dis-
play of orchids ever witnessed at an
exhibition. The light was not good;
and in some instances the magnificent
flowers were partly hidden b.y the
intermixed foliage plants. To provide a
setting and appropriate embellisliment for
the orchids, some 500 kentias and other
palms were employed; and 1,000 plants
of maidenhair tern. There were in the
orchid displa.y itself some 600 .specimens;
300 ot which were cattley as ; some ot the
best of these being C. Meudelii, Mrs. Lit-
tle, f'.^iartheuia sestivalis, C. irricolor, ('.
citrina, various forms of C. Mossia? and
Skiiinerii, C. Gaskelliana virginalis and
others. Well-grown plants were also
shown of Ljieliapurpurata Blenheimensis,

That the lioston public fully appreci-
ated the importance of the occasion and
all that it implied, was manifested by the
large audience present on the opening
night, when free ambulation was almost
impossible. The many iminiriesmadeby
the visitors regarding plant names,
showed the public's interest in the sub-
jects displayed; and, we tliink, it was an
unfortunate circumstance that proper
labeling was all but ignored.
The exhibition extended up to and in-
cluding June '.I, the Legislature having
granted special permission to keep the
show open Sunday.
course — which tends to mollify the drudg-
ery of daily toil, and remove the sourness
from our visages But to my miud the
funniest thing going on at present is your
attempt, Mr. Editor, to get those expert
judges to give away the snap as to how
one can decide what is " the best horti-
cultural novelty " barring, of course, these
reflections of JoB.
Reflections on Current Topics.
I admire your persistency in trying to
get some light shed on what has hitherto
been consioered an insoluble task — to de-
cide as to what is "the best horticultural
novelty." The reticence of those responsi-
ble for this decision precludes horticulture
from the enjoyment of one of the most in-
structive blessings that could be bestowed
upon the art. We would all like to know
how it is done.
The suggestion that judges give the
bases of their awards to the society engag-
ing them as Judges, and through it to the
general public, is a good one. Everything
connected with exhibitions should be edu-
cational, even to enlightenment on the
awards of the judges. While all can ob-
serve the completed work of a judge, not
all can divine the causes which led up to
the decision. Nothing could be more in-
structive than to furnish this information;
in fact, there is no apparent reason why it
thould be withheld. It looks like a duty
which the promoters of an exhibition owe
to every exhibitor at lea.st, and it is
astonishing why its fullillment has never
before been demanded.
On questioning some judges as to their
awards, the ansvrers one receives would
make him surmise sometimes that the
gentlemen who look wise and say "this is
best," are in the position, with respect to
the losing exhibits, of the individual re-
ferred to in that old quatrain :
I do not love you, Dr. Fell ;
The reason why I cannot tell ;
But this I know, and know full well —
I do not love you. Dr. Fell.
It doe.s seem too bad, though, that su-
perior light on any given subject — which
judgments at flower shows surely consti-
tute—should be hidden under a bushel.
It is a sign of real progress when our
trade papeis begin to publish something
that breaks away from the monotony of
the dry asdust material that greets us
from week to week, for the most part —
that ,Iohn Thomas grows good tomatoes,
or WalterWilliams has a fine bench of car-
nations, and so on ad nautntum. How
much more refreshing, for instance, it i-*
to read "Sprigs from the Spice Bu-h,"
or "Mustard and Cress" — to say nothing
of their profundity aud educational value.
Then again, what a relief it is to be regaled
with tlie discussion going on between the
"croton expert" and the semi-original
Phil, as to prior right to the latter name,
while that most entertaining of racon-
teurs "Jaggs," is at all times a delight
aud a solace. Even the weekly Boston Tet-
ter of one of your contemporaries shows
an originality that at once stamps the
writer as unique, and comical in spite of
himself; while another western trade
paper having no humorists apparently
among its own contributors, clips from
other sources side-splitting items on the
dignity of woman sewing on vagrant but-
tons for the man she loves, or doing her
own washing. While all this may not
show us how to "put money in our
pockets," it is wortliy of a place in the
columns of our great horticultural week-
lies, providing as it does that spice of life —
including that from the spice bush, of
South Manchester. — Samuel J. An
drews has opened anew store in Sullivan

The weather conditions for the ])ast
three weeks have been very unfavorable
either for growing or handling of cut
flowers. In all that time there were but
two sunshiny days. The balance were
r.ainy, cold, raw, meanly disagreeable.
The carnations, before Memorial Day,
were at last affected by the weather, and
began to mold and rot on the jilants.
The excessive moisture .'iffrcted the keep-
ing qualities of even the freshest Ilnw crs.
The supply turned out to be totally in-
(idefiuate for the demand, which was so
great, both locally and in shipping orders,
that anything, nnless positivel.v bad,
sold out clean; even more so than either
at Easter or Christmas.
Plants were much in demand and every-
thing in l)I(joui was sold, (ieraniums
were most called for.
The amount (ff ])l;iTitiiig in the ceiiu-tiT-
ies was much larger tliun last year. ( »ne
noticeable fealui-e was the beauty and
quantity of spirjea plants used. The pro-
fusion of outside fliiwers ditl not seem to
interfere a particle with the sale of green-
house stock, but really tended to create
a desire for more than ever before. Ship-
ping orders that came in late 'I'uesday
and on Wednesday were only partiall.v
filled, and many were refused, no flowers
being obtainable with winch to fill tliem.
.Mil put ."II per cent, more business was
(kme I his year than Last.
The carnations that sold for 3.'")C. per
dozen, were, as a whole, ver.v poor; a
better gra.de brought .^>0e. per dozen,
while Mrs. Bnidt, The Maniuis, < Jenevieve
Lord and Irene brought 75c., but they
were extra fine. Roses were also in full
Summer crop, and . retailed at f 1 and
$1.25 per dozen.
We believe weliave reached high tide in
Memorial Day trade for some years to
come. This opinion is based on the re-
markable crop of flowers available on
this occasion, that may not be duplicated
again soon.
It is not warm yet. .Sundny night tlie
thermometer went down to '■'<*> degrees,
and there was not a night in May th;tt
fire heat was not necessar.v for roses, and
most of the time for carnations.

James Hartshorne, of the Chicago Carua-

ment to make the carnation the national
flower.

BRIEFS FOR BUST FLORISTS.
Primulas. — Another sowing should be
made of both the P. sinensis and P. ob-
conica strains so as to have a succession
of flowering plants for next Winter and
Spring. Tlie earlier sown ones should be
in just right for Christmas, and will be
disposed of at that time; hence the ne-
cessity of sowing another lot of seed
just now.
Salvia and scarlet geraniums also form
a large part of the bedding stock.
To the extreme left of the picture are
situated the ponds containing the aqua-
tics, nearly all varieties of pond lilies
being grown. To the extreme right of
the picture Is the grotto, containing the
sulphur springs. The grotto work Is
very !beautltul In' Its arrangement, the
structure being from 75 to 100 feet In
height. In all the niches and corners are
Bidding at Soldiers' Honne, Dayton, Oiiio.
Gladiolus. — Plant another batch of
bulbs this week, and to insure a constant
supply of flowers through the late .Sum-
mer and Fall make successive plantings
at intervals of a week or 10 days until
the middle of July.
Tuberoses may be planted in the same
manner, if late flowers are wanted.
Adiantum cuneatum.— For cutting
purposes this fern can be grown in benches
to better ad van tagetlian in pots. Benches
4 inches deep are all that is necessary,
and provision for drainage must be made
by leaving the boards in the bench bot-
toms one-half inch or so apart Avoid us
lug a heavy soil when filling the bench;
and if any manure is afforded, let it be
thoroughly decomposed. To have a
bench in good shape for cutting next sea-
son, the sooner it is planted the better.
Provide plenty of shade and moisture
during hot weather, and be ever on the
alert for snails.
NErHKOLRPis. — Next to the rubber
plant the Boston fern is the most impor-
tant feature as a house plant, and the de-
mand for the latter seems to be on the
Increase every year. Where there is green-
house room at command through the
Summer, it will be found very advan-
tageous to procure stock now, and grow
it along, Instead of waiting until Autumn
and then purchasing plants of decorative
size.
Smilax. — Where new plantings are to
be made the sooner the work is done the
better. Smilax is a heavy feeder, and this
fact should be borne in mind when the
bed is filled with soil. One-fifth well-
rotted manure is about the right propor-
tion to enrich the soil.
The Soldiers' Home Dajlon, 0.
This historic spot, the property of
Uncle Sam, contains 640 acres of land,
17 acres of which are covered with arti-
ficial lakes. All the Improvements made
from .vear to year are from a fund raised
from the sale of beer to the old soldiers
exclusively, and do not cost the govern-
ment one cent.
Charles Beck, the superintendent, has
filled this position for the past 2(J years
and has grown old in the discbarge of
his duties. It was the writer's pleasure
recently to visit this Home and to spend
an hour with Mr. Beck. He Is a land-
scape gardener and an all-around florist.
and to his good tastels due the beautiful
bedding that is to be seen throughout
the grounds of the Home. The photo-
graphs hereshowQ will give some Idea of
what these look like. In the foreground
will be noticed a number of musas and,
toward the lake, numerous beds of alter-
nanthera, echeveria, coleus, caladlums,
ach.yranthes, Blsmark yellow geraniums,
white begonias and crotons, can be seen.
planted ferns and flowering plants, and
shrubbery walks lead up to winding
stairways, where, nt nearly every turn,
one is greeted by littlecascades that keep
the surroundings coaI, and add greatly
to the beauty of this romantic spot.
These stairways lead to the large con-
servatory show house, built recentl.v by
Lord & Burnham, at a cost of $10,000.
In this house is a large col lection of tropi-
cal and other plants, one latania noticed
being 30 feet '" height and over 20 inches
In diameter at the base. Hanging bas-
kets of extra lai-ge size, containing
Asparagus Sprengeri and Boston fern are
beautiful, while in the center of the house
Is built a grotto, with a miniature Ni-
agara splashing on the rocky bed below.
E. G. GlLLETT.
In the Law Courts.
Utica, N. Y.— Stephen Whitton, of the
firm of Wihtton&Sons,at 40 Green Street,
has been sued b.y Harry G. Lyons of S.yra-
cuse for $.5,000 for false imprisonment.
On April 23 Wihttonsworeoutawarrant
in the Cit.v Court of Utica for the arrest
of Lyons for issuing a worthless check.
Lyons was brought to this city, gave
bail and was later tried and acquitted.
Saturday in the Supreme Court of Onon-
daga County he commenced a suit
through his attorney, L. E. Wliittic, for
$5,000 damages. — Utica Observer, May
27, 1901.
Washington, D. C. — The suit brought
by the Syndicat des Cultivateurs des
Oignf)ns a Fleurs, of France, against C.
Strauss & Co., of this cit.y, was on hear-
ing before Justice Clabaugh and a jury in
Circuit Court No. 2, May 25. The plain-
tiff, who is represented by Messrs R. Ross
Perry & Son, seeks to recover $l,i)G7.10
for certain narcissus, hyacinth, and jou-
ijuil bulbs alleged to have been furnished
the defendants by the French company.
Attorney Alexander P. Morse appears for
the latter, an organization of growers of
flower bulbs in Southern France.
On the part of Strauss & Co. it is main-
taini'd that a certain lot of bulbs received
from thi> ])laiiitiff proved worthless, anil
that another lot, repre.sented as a very
beautiful variet.v, produced an uns.aleable
flower. The defendants claim that the.v
were left witliout flowers of the varieties
alleged to have been satisfactory, and
were forced to seek them in the open
market at the height of the season. —

Pan-American Notes.
Like other parts of the country, we
have been visited by nearly two weeks of
wet weather. It has not only kept back
attendance but retarded work. The sun
has, however, been shining for the last
two days, putting a cheerful aspect on
everything. The landscape department,
on every opportunity, has been busy get-
ting the vases filled, which has added
much to the beauty of the courts. Some
of the vases are filled with specimen
palms, splendid plants of phormium, a
number with variegated agaves, and
man,y are filled with a variety of flower-
ing plants. The great number of ever-
green trees planted in the courts has
added much to their beauty. Many car-
loads of sod have been lately laid, and
there are very few pots now but what
are completed.
In the horticulture department Mr.
Pierson has sent some more latanias,
gigantic plants, and in the very best of
order. Henry A. Dreer has added almost
a carload of plants to his group In the
center of the Horticulture Building. The
entire group now makes a very fine ap-
pearance; it consists of over 150 plants,
nearly every one a specimen. Among
them are a dozen Kentia Fosteriana, 12
feet high. Other palms are phoenix, areca,
rhapis and latanias. There are a num-
ber of dracipnas, pandanus, flcus and
araucarias. The group also contains some
splendid ferns, including cibotium, sev-
eral sorts of adiantum, nephrolepis, poly-
podium, davallia, cyrtomium, and polv-
stichum. Mr. Watkins has artistically
arranged the group, which has a diame-
ter of about 40 feet. Mr. Ward's exhibit
of pelargoniums and zonal geraniums in
the conservatory attracts much atten-
tion, and we often notice people with
their note books taking <]own the varie-
ties. The plants are in fullest flower and
it is a gay group of tables. Among the
zonals we notice A. Ricard; Clyde, a
very fine single scarlet ; Hall Caine; Her-
rick ; De La V'igne, a single scarlet with a
very large truss; Andrew Lang, a very
attractive variety; Gertrude Pierson, a
beautiful single pink; Beaute de Poite-
vine; Mme.Chas. Pierson, Ian MacLaren,
Barbara Hope, Pink Domino, and other
fine varieties. Among pelargoniums of
20 varieties very noticeable are H. M.
Stanley, Edward Perkins and Victor,
dark flowers, and Mme. Thibaut, Mrs.
Sandiford and Saudiford's Wonder, light
shades.
On the grounds, the additions to the
exhibits latel.v i-eceived are three large
beds of geraniums from C. W. Ward,
Queens, N. Y. One is filled with Le Soleil,
a splendid semi-double scarlet, Mme. Che-
rotte, a semi-double salmon pink; and
Pasteur, a fine orange scarlet. From
their appearance I should judge these are
single pink; Dryden, a cherry red of the
Mirande type; Dr. Herring, a dark red.
E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., has sent a
very fine collection of geraniums of many
new varieties.
In the center of the large group of beds
occupied by the exhibit of F. R. Pierson
Co. is a group of statuary of colossal size
representing a chariot race. Around this
are placed eight splendid sweet bays, and
between them eight large tubs of hydran-
geas, all the exhibit of the Pierson Co.
The rose garden is still very attractive
with late tulips, and a bed of Gesneriana
planted by .lames Vick's Sons is noticea-
ble for its brilliant color and size of
flower. The rhododendrons and azaleas
are also much admired.
With all the discomfort of the excessive
rains these have doubtless been quite a
benefit to the Exposition as a whole.
The many large beds of hybrid perpetual
roseswhichweretlieflrst exhibits planted
here, and set out as late as last June, will
be a great success. A bed of Crimson
Rambler, containing over 500 plants,
will be a sight, but it will be the end of
June before it is fully out.
William Scott.
Outdoor Exhibits.
We now notice some evergreen dis-
plays, mostly of hardy kinds. Wm. H.
Moon Co., Morrisville, {"a.ihave a bedded
showing informal arrangement, all of
hardy evergreens, varying from 12 inches
to 3 feet in height. Three pines are
in the center of the rectangular

plnmosa, Veitchii and plumosa aurea,
bordered with Juniperus aurea.
Across the north end and reaching
partly around the sides of the Women's
Building, F. R. Pierson Co. have a
brilliant showing of hybrid rhododen-
drons, now in full bloom. The planting
is well graded in sizes of the growths, and
makes a good appearance. Azalea mollis,
in hybrids, are here also in goodly num-
ber. The somewhat neutral tints of dull
orange and copper shades, still rather
brilliant in appearance, tend to make this
class attractive in a style peculiarly their
own. These two classes of flowering
shrubs are supplemented with evergreens,
including Retinosporas flllfera and aurea,
pines in some variety, and Arbor vitfe
globosa, the latter being quite distinctive
of form and general appearance.
Thos. Meehan & Sons, of Germantown,
Philadelphia, display a set of specimen
evergreens planted direct in the lawn, so
to speak, each tree grass-surrounded. In
size, these vary from 1 to 4 feet in height. •
The selection is truly comprehensive, ap-
parently including over one hundred dis-
tinct varieties. Distinct labeling of each

Landscape Effects.
With Landscape Gardener Rudolph
lllrich at the head of this department,
hacked by a management liberal in grant-
ing the means to attain desired ends, it
naturall.v follows that the aims of in-
tended accomplishment, or result, have
been laid out on a lavish scale.
In the structural jiortions, the change
of ground levels tliat have been made or
created, are sim]jly extensive. The la-
goous, large and small, the lily ponds,
lakes, basins, canals, islands, embank-
ments and slopes being a true surface
transformation from the original plain-
like level of the ground. Leading into
the Exposition proper from the already
finished city park section or appi'oach
setting, the formal arrangement of the
large buildings and features of ornament,
set in most cases so that one is balancecl
by another, the ffirmal Italian garden ef-
lectliere so largely empioyetl, seems in per-
fect keeping and harmony. The outlooks
from bridges, lialconies, towers and ter-
races, are made of the irregular order,
however. This has been brought at)out
by much natural planting (produced arti-
tically ) l)y the exercise of carefully planned
and energetic effort.
The first level entered on, of something
over an acre in extent, gives way to a
goodly rise, one raised side leading to the
cfiurt of State Buildings in the east, the
opposite to theso-called "Rose Gardens."
Three broad sets of stairs lead off from
each side of this level to a second balus-
traded level. The four inclosed lapping
spaces between these sets of steps are
grassed over, and given to beds of
monthly roses. A sunken lily court in
turn is next bridged over in the east, and
before reaching the rose garden, a similar
lagoon, with sides liberally treated with
herbaceous and shrubby growths, is
shown on the west.
" In a vague way the foregoing gives an
index ot the style that pervades this class
of effects <iver surfaces that include many
acres, with miles in length of lagoon, lake
and island banks treated in the most
complete manner. A spot termed " The
Island," facing the Government Building,
sometlnngover an acre in extent, is seem-
ingly "every inch planted" and which
we hope to describe in detail later. The
common cattail has been planted in very
large numbers in the water portions.
(Some truly beautiful rustic Summer
houses are seen.
In the formal effect, between the large
buildings, sunken gardens with water
basin effects are located in lf)ng parterre
spaces before the Government Buildings
on tlie east side, and the large horticul-
tural structure on the west. Fountains
and statuary are prominent, and nym-
phieas and cattails will assert their pres-
ence. Tile sodded sloping sides are em-
bellished by bright colored lieildiug. Two
other extensive open Kp;ices give place to
large basin and fountain effects. These
are not complete as yet, Init with much
shrubbery and tree growths already
placed ill conjunction therewith, a studied
attempt at the garden effect is being
worked at.
Two portions of walks in excavated
sections, set about with statuary, and
making long stretches ot sodded slopes,
studded with hediling, are features of
the Mall. Surrounding the large stadi-
um structure further bedding is in pro-
gress.
Hundreds of speciall.v made vases in
staff, in six distinctly modeled styles, are
now in course of being properly plant-
lllled to harmonize with individual posi-
tions and settings.
Large show foliage plants are here,
too, in number, and for the adaptation
of which, two styles oI"Pan-,\nierican
tree lioxes of new design are noticeable.
The stock of growtlis thus utilized, in-
cludes <i large importation ot good sized
bays, and also a large consignment ot
California growths, such as chamcerops,
plm-nix, draea'uas, orange trees, some
Brahfca fllamentosa and sabals. ;Vines,
climbers and drapers, both tender, new
grown, and hardy ones, wintered over in
boxes, are being placed at advantageous
points to enhance the Summer effects.

orre5poj/(lef?ce
standard in Nomenclature.
Editor Florists'' Exchange:
Inclosed is a clipping from your west-
ern contemporary telling us that Bailey's
(".vdopedia of American Horticulture is
to be its guide in nomenclature. I think
this au unwise thing for your contem-
porary to do. You are doubtless aware
that a few years ago some botanists got
was sometliing like this.: .Some hundred
years ago, a'nian, who certainly deserved
to be hung, esca])ed through a plea whicli
was afterwards found to be errfineous;
and the question was, Ha.ve his ilescend-
ants any right to live? It was decided
that tlieoretically they had not — but that
it would not be good policy now to put
them to death ! The earlier botanists did
^vrong, but died before their wrong could
be rigiited — but should we go through
this serious revolution to make up their
slips?"
It is common law that after a lapse ot
time an original owner loses his rights.
A.debt is uncollectable after six years; a
street is legally opened after 21 years.
And many other cases could be given to
fortify the position that these litter bot-
anists haveno rightto cliangethe names.
. The leading nursei'ymen and landscape
gardeners keep to tlie old names, as a
business right; for their customers would
not know what was talked about were
the new names to be given their pur-
chases, and many peoiile would be im-
posed on by buying under a new name
what they already possessed under the
old.
It is said the firm of Olmsted Bros. .land-
scape gardeners, had a consultation, and
decided to keep up the old names, as the
new ones would create so much confusion.
As Professor Bailey gives but plants

together and decided that m.any of tlie
old names of plants had been incorrectly
given; and these people set themselves to
overthrow the names known tor a hun-
dred years or more, and to give the
I^lants what they claim should have been
the proper nomenclature. Professor
Baile.y has adopted their views. Tlieir
work and changes are causing endless
contusion, as very many liotanists refuse
to follow them, claiming that the old
name, even though incorrectly given, is
now tlie legal one, by virtue of the time
it has existed. Here is an extract from
" .Meehan's Monthly " bearing on the mat-
ter, and which is cpnte to the point:
"Names of .\.\ieki('in Thkeh. — Modern
botanical authors Hud that the law ot
priority has not always been strictly
obe.ved by the earlier writers, and that
some fifty American trees, for well on to
a hundred years, botanists have been
calling by wrong names.
" For instance, the silver maple wliicli,
since 1781), we have been calling Acer
dasycarpum should have been during
this long time, Acer saccharinum — that
which we have, since 1787, called Acer
saccharinum, should have been Acer sac-
lia.rum — and so on. We can all admit
that it was very, very naughty in some of
these early botanists to ignore prior
names, though they themselves mostly
felt they had good reasons for so doing.
But the wi.sdom of trying to get the
whole world to change names, which
have become a part of universal litera-
ture, is doubtful. The discussion about
it reminds oue ot some debates in boys'
iyceums. Oue In the writer's recollection
what will your contemporary do about
names not in Bailey's book ?
Think of our old frinids .Sassafras odi-
cinale, Benzoin odnrilVriim ;ind i'atalpa
bignonioides being transl'ornied into Sas-
safras sassafras. Benzoin benzoin, Ca-
talpa catalpa; and the lovely .Magnolia
grandiflora into Magnolia fietida!
Our firm follows Index Kewensis — the
standard work of the world, of which
Nicholson's Dictionary isagood represen-
tative.
Your review of Bailey's book is very
got>d indeed, but in oue thing it strikes
me as being a little out — the part in
wdiicli you speak ot " I»ringing order out
fif chaos." There li;is tieen no chaos.
The nameschanged have been practically
undisputed. The chaos has been, or will
be, brought about by the work ot these
later reformers. GkowEH.
Insect Trap Lanterns.
Editor Florists^ Exchange:
Noticing tlie artlLle on "Insect Trap
Lanterns," containing the statement of
E. P. i'elt, I believe that the lantern trap
is a slow performer. But I have often
thought, on seeing the multitudes of bugs
and moths flying aron [id the electric lights,
that a device attached to these I ghts would
"electrocute" millions of insects. I could
not give you any idea as to the shape of
the device, as I am not an electrician, but
I believe a practical mechanic would .soon
construct something that, would kill the
insects immediately they come in contact
with the electric current.

I notice an article in your paper on

spondent states that a Raleigh concern
has the largest greenhouse establishment
in North Carolina. I'beg leave to call at-
tention to this article, as it leaves an
errfuieous impression. In justice to my
employers and the trade in general, I
wisli to state that the J. Van Lindley
Nursery Co. has the largest and most
modern equipped greenhouse plant in the
" Old North State," consisting ot .50,000
square feet, or more, of glass devoted ex-
clusively to theproductionot cut flowers;
and at present have under construction

a mulch would be advisable; or, in tact,
would any fine, well-rotted manure? I
have no stable manure available. The
carnations were planted without, but
bone meal was sown along the furrows
made b.v the marker. My idea is that it
woulil lie best to top-dress after the beds
had been hoed, and just before a rain, it
possible — Florist.
— When the carnation field li.as been
properly prepared by having a dressing
of manure ploughed in, there is no need
of a mulch of either sheep or other manure
being put on during the growing period.
If, however, the land is poor through not
having been properly enriched since the
last crop was grown upon it, it w-ould be
a good plan to give a light dressing of
sheep manure, not exactl.v leaving it on
the surface as a mulch, but sowing it on
the ground and usiug the hoe or culti-
vator afterwards regulaily so as to work
the fertilizer into the soil. Instead ot put-
ting on the manure after hoeing, we
would put it on before.
(15.'!) Grubs in Ro.se Soli.— Will you
kindly tell me it the little grubs sent
herewith are the j'oung ot the May bug or
cockchafer in their first year, or are they
another kind? We find them in the man-
ure in rose houses, which have just been
planted. It it is tlie cockchafer it would
mean ruin to the plants, as 10 and 12 in-
sects are in a lumpof manure as big as one's
fist. Some,you will note,are very tin.v. I
liave sent them in old manure, just as
found. What would you suggest doing
in such a case? Isthere a known remedy
for the little pest? Would it be likel.v
to do much damage the first year'.' — R. P.

following suggestions as to remedies:
" Tlie haliit of white grulis ol passing

ground and at a considerable depth ren-
ders it aniatterot difliculty to reach them
with insecticides. Against stniio forms
bisulphide of carbon, kerosene emulsion,
and poisoned baits Iiave been used with
some success. For use in greenhouses the
Ijest remedy, everything considered, is the
liolsoned baits. Ot these, one ot the best
is the bran-arsenic mash, which lias been
mentioned in connection with remedies
used against cutworms. ('I'lie bran-ar-

sugar, or a like quantity of molasses,
with six of bran, and enough water to
form a mash.) In addition to the use of
this mash, it is always advisable to pur-
sue the cleanest of cultural methods, the
same as has been advised against cut-
worms, which includes the avoidance of
fresh soil which might contain these crea-
tures, the keeping down of all grasses in
the immediate vicinity of greenhouses,
and particularly in the soil in the green-
house itself. The use of fertilizers is also
advisable, as it enables plants to resist
insect attack at the roots.
" Sterihzing the soil by means of heat
or steam is also of value.
" As manures are frequently infested by
white grubs, and some of these are at
times troublesome, it is well to exclude
such forms as experience has shown eon-
tain an excess of these creatures — as, for
example, horse manure. They can be
identified readil.y by disintegrating the
material, and chickens and other fowls
could be utilized in destroying them be-
fore the manure is used in the green-
houses."

store Manag:ement.
As everyone knows the sum and sub-
stance of business success largely depends
on good management, and it Isn't mere
" luck " as some would have it. Barring-
accident, it is the "get up and git" of
good judgment, thrift, and business en-
terprise. However, it isn't always the
largest volume of business that yields the
best returns. In plain language, the A,
B, C, business principles are, first, to be
a good buyer; second, a good collector;
third, a good seller. One certainly needs
excellent judgment and experience to buy
advantageously, otherwise sales -svill be
hampered or handicapped witli inferior
or unsalable stock; and again prices may
not be " right." Experienced buyers for
large business houses always command
good salaries.
And, what is the use of doing business
just fur the name of it'? There is so much
of credit in any established business that
collections ai'e of serious importance and
must be systematically attended to.
All bills of credit are made out at close
of day's sales, and if not personally called
for are mailed first of each month. How-
ever, the larger buyers are generally
slow pay; onceor twice ayear you get a
check for stock that may ha.ve required
cash at the time of your purchase. One
likes to be prompt with pa.ymeuts, yet
'tis not always possible — with the most
of your capital in book accounts.
Selling is an art by itself; that is, to

for the buyer. Both equations have equal

say " stuff " advisedly) grown at a high
temperature. It proves a general nui-
sance, whether it be ornamental or
blooming stock, as it won't st:nid any-
thing, and it is not at all adapted to this
work-a-day world that has no considera-
tion for weaklings. It pays better to
buy good stock at a higher price than
poor stuff at a cheap figure. As a rule,
most customers are pretty well posted
as to what's what, and don't take kindly
to chaff. Only buy at a time what stock
can be properly accommodated, and of
the kind and style best suited to your
special trade; and when any of it begins
to "go back" get it out of the way.
Faded flowers and wilted plants are a
poor background for a florist's shop,

I prefer nice blooming plants tor the

When flowers are used, some novelty
should be so arranged as to show its
special merit and possibilities. It is quite
within the limit and province of the re-
tailer to introduce flower and plant nov-
elties, and advertise himself in the skilful
use of the same. I reserve novelties for
tlie best trade, and try and control exclu-
sive stock of something good.

Economy of stock is dependent on sales-

frequently receive no more intelligent care

Philadelphia, Pa. — By steady work
through the six contests George Anderson
won the Eisenlohr trophy in the final
match of the series on the grounds of the
Florists' Gun Club at Wissnoming. Mas-
sey was his nearest competitor and was tie
with Anderson on the number of points
won up to the final shoot, but fell off in
his work in the final contest, missing four-
teen out of fifty targets.
Although the match had narrowed down
to Anderson and Massey there was an un-
usually large number of marksmen on
hand.

Market Report.
The beginning f>r this week found
business in a very satisfactory conditic^n
so far as the better grades of flowers
were concerned. The siipijly was rather
light, and the demand fairly steady. By
Wednesda.v. however, we were in the
midst of a hot spell and the cut flower
business assumed a very summery aspect.
.Stock of nearly all kinils suddenly became
<iuite plentiful, and the demand dwindled
to almost notiiing.
According to the glowing accounts in
the (lail.y press of the elaborate wedding-
decorations that are being done in and
about the cit.v.this week should have been
one of the busiest in the year. Unfortu-
nately tor the cut flower growers green-
house products constitute a very small
part of many of the .June wedding deco-
rations. There is such a wealth of ont-
side flowers and floweringshrubs availa-
ble, that makes it possible to have a ver.v
costly and elaborate wedding decoration
and yet not use $10 worth of greenhouse
stock.
Carnations are a glut, and all kinds of
prices prevail. While it is possible to
realize 3 or 4 centsfor novelties, ordinary
and fancy varieties are sold at any figure
obtainable. .Some fancy blooms have
been disposed of as low as $5 per 1,000.
The immense quantity of poeonies sud-
denly thrown on the market is in a great
measure responsible for the glut in carna-
tions. Red ])<ff)nies have become so
abundant that they are freely offered at
$2 per loo, though they did a little better
in the tore part of the week.' A fine pink
variety is coming in from the ('ottage
Gardens, and on account ot its color and
size it brings a higher figure than the red
sort.
In roses, white kinds have been the
most in demand, anil as good stock tree
from mildew is somewhat limited in sup-
ply fair prices have been the rule, .\ineri-
can Beauty have gone down several de-
grees since our last report, excepting tor
some consigntueuts ot a very special
grade; tor these the dealer has been re-
ceiving 40e. each. Ulrich Hrunner bring
from 15c. each down. General .Jac<iue-
minot are quite plentiful, and $3 per 100
is a common price tor them.
Longiflorum lilies have dropped in
value and can now be had at from 2c. to
4c. Smilax continues in good demand,
realizing satisfactory prices, though the
same can not be said of adiantums. Ger-
man and Spanish iris are in good supply,
as are also marguerites, stocks, p.vre-
thrum, cornflowers, gladiolus, etc. Lilac
is done witn so far as its being saleable;
there is a Httle still lingering around, but
nobody wants it.
Lily of the valley has sold nicely
through the week, but is now beginning
to get more plentiful. Orchids are not in
very brisk demand, though fine blooms
of Cattleya Mendelii and C. gigas are
coming in.
Sweet peas are not selling so well; the
white ones are bringing a, somewhat
higher figure tlian the colored varieties.
Aactlon Sales.
On Monday, the 10th inst., W. .1.
Elliott will sell by auction the green-
houses, office fixtures, boilers, etc., on the

In the salesrooms of both Cleary & Co-

ding plants has been quite brisk. Gera-
niums particularly are fetching good
prices.

Bad Weather Makes Bad Plant Business.
The almost incessant rains of tlie
past week have put a damper on bedding
plant trade, and very little business in
that line has been done so far, but with
bright and fine weather the rush has be-
gun. Cut flower business has been very
good, and tlie demand tor white stocli
extra; outside lily of the valley and white
lilac have sold closer than I have ever
seen them before. Most of the roses com-
ing in are of good quality: carnations
are also good. The majority of the stock,
such as violets and carnations, planted
out, has started well.
It is .almost impossible to ((uote prices
on either plants or flowers, for every
man appears to have a different idea of
value; but a few fine days will bring
plants, at any rate, to their level. The
rain has spoiled a lot of the outside cut
flowers: but I fancy there will soon be
plenty to go round.
News Notes.
The North Toronto Floral Co. is
Innlding a considerable extension to its
plant again this season. Jay & Son are
building a hne palm house.
Last week we had a number of visitors
from western Ontario in town, among
others, Messrs. W. W. Gammage and Tay-
lor, of London, and C. Iieland, of Berlin.
They all report business as being good
this Spring, and all expected a lively time
when the rain is over. Mr. Gammage
was talking convention matters, and
promises all who visit London this Fall
a good time and a good place in which
to transact the business. T. M.
Colorado Spring's, Col.
William Clark has secured the contract
from the Colorado Springs Hotel Com-
pany for beautifying the park and inte-
rior of the New Antlers Hotel. The
amount will approximate $2,000.

A Good Mtmorlal Day Trade.
Another Memorial Day has passed
and the florists have no reason to com-
plain, for the volume of trade was better
than in some years back ; although the
weather was most unfavorable, rain
every day for a week. The demand tor
cut flowers was brisk. Outdoor-grown
stock did not amount to much, as every,
thing is late. Very few pa^onies and roses
were in bloom. Everything sold well at
good prices, roses and carnations taking
the lead. Some carnations in the mar-
kets brought from 50c. per dozen up.
wards, but the regular dealers got 75c.
and bettertorthem. Roses brought from
$1.50 per dozen up; American Beauty,
.$4 and over. Lilium longiflorum and '
gladiolus were much used, also sweet
peas.
With more favorable weather the
plantsmen would have done better, for
blooming stock was scarce and sold at
high prices. In general the season, up to
date, has been as good as last year,^!!!!
prospects of a few weeks' sales yet, ag
not much could be planted out, the
ground being too wet.
In almost every line of business prices
have advanced considerably the last lew
years; everything that the florist buys
costs more, and still prices, for plants
particularly, remain thesaine, if anything
are even lower than they were. Some
few hold up values ; but these men are in
the minority. The others are compelled
to grow more stock each year to get
along. Geraniumsandcannaewereinbest
demand, alternanthera and coleus had
less call than usual, the latter being less
used from year to year.
The date of the June flower show to be
held by the Florists'Olubiscloseat hand.
Several special meetings and the regular
monthly meeting have been held and
everything seems in the best of shape. A
good exhibit is promised, unless the cool
nights retard the outdoor roses, which
are to be the main feature. The exhibit
is not a competitive one, and will be free [
to the public. It will be held in the Geiv
man Evangelical Church, corner of Sixth
Avenue and Smithfield Street — a good
location, in the heart of the city. The
date is June l.S. Any florist or grower
who desires to make an exhibit can do so,
and should have his flowers sent to the
church early In Ihe morning of the date
given.
During the past few weeks several hail-
storms have visited Pittsburg and vicin-
ity, causing some damage to plants, but
little to glass houses.

Trade Notes.
The cut flower trade is uneventtiil
and only moderate in extent. Flowers
are in fair siipi5ly only, and no surplus of
good stocks is in sight. Carnations in-
cline to be sliort for the demand, thougli
those sent in are still of good i|ualit.\ .
Memorial l>ay tliey were quickly snapped
up. Koscs lu'nin to show up a bit of the
warmer-\\ father st.vle — smaller in size.
^"Memorial Diiy trade orders called f(jr
but only tour set pieces of any size. These
were of thetraditionalcnmplicated forms
that included swords and muskets clum-
sily made up and employing- the use of
some immortelle features. It seems a pity
that more fitting- and appropriate con-
ceptions and ideas in the use of flowers
under such conditions are not employed
or entered into. With the exception of a
single family order for a goodly number
of well maile wreaths by Palmer & Sou,
the interest noted in the use of flowers by
the passing- throngs was of meagre pro-
portions.
Improved weather this week gives bet-
ter life to the Pan-American. The pres-
ence of so many in onr town this year,
and the occasional necessary affairs in
entertaining, are expected to produce
some special trade this Summer.
Goodly interest is moving apace in
S. A. F. O. H. convention matters In n
general way, and tends us to forecast this
as the banner .year in the society's career.
President I'atrick O'Mara, of New York
City, spent several days here recentl.y, and
apparently carried away an approval of
both convention and Pan-American pros-
pects and conditions.
A. .J. Watkins, of Philadelphia, is in
working charge of H. A. Dreer's exhibits
at the E.xposition.
Other recent visitors included .Tohn R.
Fotheringham, representing- F. R. Pierson
Co., and P.. L. Hart, of Rose Hill, N. Y.
Club AfeetiDg.
The club meetings are now rife in
material that occufjies a full evening-, and
in view of convention mattersin progress,
a good attendance was present at Tues-
day evening's meeting- at Kasting-'s store.
(jeo. Stafflinger, of Springville, N. Y., was
elected to membership.
Much attention was taken up with re-
ports of the various S. A. F. work com-
mittees. The exhibition committee rec-
ommended that the Buffalo Florists' Club
(tffer two silver cups, one to he awarded
in the plant, and oneincut flower classes.
This recommendation was agreed to, and
the details of conditions, etc. left to the
discretion of the committee.
The waysand means committee report-
ed a progress in that section that augured
encouraging results.
Chas. H. Keitch, of the trade exhibit
managenunit, reported the result cjf si)aci'
allotments, showing that energetic cl-forts
have been applied on his paa't, inasniuch
as the space booking includes some new
exhibitors, with an aggregate of engaged
space a bit ahead of previous records at
the same date.
The hotel committee, under chairman-
ship of W. A. Adams, seems to have this
important part in a good way. There
evidently will be no trouble whatever in
pleasing all comers as regards accommo-
dations, provided advance applications
are sent in, and naturally the sooner the
better. The New York contingent has
practically engaged quarters for 150
strong, it being intended to locate them
in the New Larkin Hotel, on Johnson
Place, which is situated among the down-
town fashionable residences, and but 10
minutes' easj walk from convention
hall.
\ meeting is to follow again on the
18th inst.

Kalamazoo, Micb.
Decoration Day trade was very large,
ever.ything in sight being cleaned out at
good prices. Flowers from outdoors
were not in bloom, and the cold, cloudy
weather causing a lighter inside cut than
usual, there was a large shortage in
stock of all kinds and many orders had
to be refused. What there was, however,
sold at good prices, which more than
made up for deficiency in quantity.
Van Rochove & Bro. have bought
George Taylor's houses and stock, and
-will remove the same to their own place.
This was the oldest established place in
town, Mr. Taylor having run it for many
years: ill-health was the reason for
selling.
A destructive hailstorm at Otsego (a
few miles off) did considerable damage
there. Florist Tozier lost several hundred
lights, besides damage to stock. Did not
learn if insured. S. B.

memorial Day Business.
.\uother milestone has been passed
in the florist trade, and Memorial Day
must hereafter be considered with Christ-
mas, Easter and Thanksgiving as one of
the big holidays in the trade. Sales this
year were of greater volume than ever
before, and every one connected with the
business in any manner was extremely
busy. In the city, orders were chiefly
confined to vase and box filling, bedding
and other plants, though there was a
brisk demand for loose cut flowers,
wreaths and other designs more or less
elaborate. On the other hand, the call
from thecountry was principally for loose
flowers, and the shipping trade exceeded
all previous records. Carnations and
roses were in most demand, though every-
thing in the way of tlowers sold well, and
many country orders had to be refused
on account of the scarcity of stock. There
was a dearth of outside flowers, lilacs
having blossomed three weeks ago, snow-
balls being- poor and falling to pieces,and
pa-onies not yet in flower.
In the line of bedding plants, gerani-
ums are easily the favorites, with a good
demand for pansies, cannas, coleus, etc.
Geraniums in i-inch pots retail generally
at $1.50 per dozen, while $6 to $10 per
100 are the ruling wholesale prices.
There seems to be a better demand for
coleus, alternantheras, etc., than for sev-
eral years past. The great call for win-
dow and porch boxes would indicate that
the work of the Civic League has not
been in vain. This League, an organiza-
tion of ladies, has for its object the adorn-
ment of the city.
\t Como Park, the beds are nearly all
planted and everything is most beautiful.
The aquatics will be put in the coming-
week, and everything done to beautify
the place for the Woodmen's National
Convention to be held here .lune 10 to 16.
The Spring here was the earliest on
record and all vegetation is now well
advanced. A slight frost about two
weeks since did a little damage, but on
the whole the weather has been most
favorable.
There is now a very brisk demand from
the country towns for cut flowers for
commencements and weddings, and stock
is reasonably scarce, though there is a
big cut at the present time. Carnations
are as eagerly sought after as roses, sell-
ing at nearly the same prices. Mrs.
Thomas W. Lawson and Mrs. George M.
Bradt are prime favorites, while White
Cloud and The iMarquisare close seconds.
Jottiners.
N. C. Hansen, on Dale Street, is
sending in some of the finest blooms of
the season in White Cloud, Triumph and
-Jubilee.
Chris. Hansen has just completed a
three-story business block on 8t. Peter
Street.
Holm &01son aredoing a rushing busi-
ness in bedding plants and report a fine
trade in all lines.
L. L. May & Co. have had a large force
working night and day to get orders
filled. Their extensive shipping busiitess
has been ver.v good, while a very large
cemetery trade has kept them hustling.
Their store trade for May eclipsed all
records, while .June starts out with a
rush.
While it is a little early to make de-
finite plans for the convention and the
Pan-American at Buffalo, I think it is safe
to say there will be a. good representa-
tion there from the Twin Cities. While
we have had no words of praise from
" Austin " as to the great beauty of the
Exposition and the invigorating climate
of the Bison t'ity, I am sure every one
who attends the convention and visits
the Exposition will feel himself well re-
paid for the time and expense of the trip.
Buffalo is a. most beautiful city, its peo-
ple most hospitable and progressive; and
located on the breezy Lake Erie, it is one

Memorial Week Trade.
As a florist's harvest-tide, the first
Memorial Day, an<I week, of the twen-
tieth century will {-o down into histor.v
as a record-breaker. There may have
been more fiowers s()l<l in seasons of a
plethora of pceonies, gardenias and other
outside stocks, but for a genuine demand
with respect to all that the greenhouses
could pour into this market, even with
our constantly inereasins ylass area, for
a clean up and prices obtaineil, the pres-
ent occasion should make the heart of
the grower glad.
The weather was no doubt responsible
for smaller cuts in roses and carnations
than were expected, although several of
the big growers had enormous supplies,
and were able to take care of all regular
customers fairly well; but all agree they
could have sold lots more had the stock
been available.
Pieonies were in very sliort supply,
caused by the cool weather south.
The present week conditions are
changed, and good stock is showing up
in quantity.
The shipping demand was extraodin-
ary from both near and far, man.v orders
being turned down, and others partly
filled. Home buyers grumbled at the
quality and the stock on hand sometimes,
also at the prices asked, but buy they
must, and everything was snapped up
at above, rather than under, list rates,
this holding up right to and including
Sunday's trade.
Clf course, Memorial Day does not mean
Christmas or Easter prices, but $5 to $6
for average tea and short American
Beauty roses was realized: $2 to $3.50
for common to standard carnations;
sweet peas at 7,5c. to $1, and not nearly
enough for the demand. Everything in
the way of pa>onie8 sold at 75c. to $1 per
dozen.
The weather at writing is still cool, al-
though a trifle warmer. Bedding out is
decidedly back ward, and rains are wanted
to start things growing . The oriental
poppies are making quite a show now in
the market.
News Notes.
The Riverside Floral Co. are doing a
good business in bedding plants and win-
dow box work this .Spring. They cut
25,000 sweet peas for Memorial Day and
could have sold lots more. They have
also a fine bench of Kaiserin Augusta
Victoria roses.
Gustav Decker is preparing to build a
range of three greenhouses, and store, at
546-550, 119th Street, West I'ullmau.
Bassett & Washburn will try thoroughly
grafted roses this year, with some 30,000
plants, including 5,000 Liberty, the bal-
ance Bride and Bridesmaid.
Weber Bros. 2408 Lincoln Avenue, are
building a carnation house, 34 x 100 feet.
Charles Wirtin, of Desplaines, will grow
Scarlet Wave carnation, one of the east-
ern red sports of Tidal Wave, very heavily
the coming year, as the returns from it
have been very satisfactory the past
Winter and Spring.
C. W. Northrup, of La Grange, is one of
the large sweet pea growers supplying
this market with fine stock.
G. Swenson, of Elmhurst, is sending in
some of the improved candytuft, which
is a fine acquisition.
Weitor Bros, have 10 houses of
American Beauty and nine of Bride and
Bridesmaid roses already planted.
The crop of new ferns is now in. Last
week these were very scarce, and sold at
10c. per bunch readily.
McKellar & Wintersonhavecleaned and
painted up their store.
Vaughan's Seed Store is doing quite a
business in raffla, which is the thing this
year in the make-up of Summer hats.

Trade la Dull.
After a considerable spell of rather
cool weather, Summer seems to have set
in in earnest. In consequence, the retail
trade is affected already by the unusual hot
weather duluess. Our retail men complain
of regular orders of cut flowers being
countermanded daily, in consequence of
patrons leaving the city; and from now on,
with the exception of school graduating
days, and the usual funeral work, we may
expect rather quiet business. The receipts
of wholesalers are about equal to de-
mand. Stock generally is of poor quality,
though carnations seem to hold up very
well and are usually sold up pretty close.
Pieonies and outdoor roses are in abund-
ance, the latter being too short in stem to
be of much use. An unusually heavy crop
of roses is with us this season.
Bedding is over, and no complaints, so
far, have been heard of the amount of
business done ; it is presumed to be up to
the average, or somewhat better.

A Scarcity of Stock.
; Never in|my short existence as a fl o wer
merchant have I known of stock of all
kinds to be so scarce on May 30 as this
year. The season is several weeks late
and only a few outdoor flowers made
their appearance. For this cause the de-
mand upon greenhouse products was
phenomenal, and we could not begin to
fill orders. Of course, the weatlier is to
blame for it all. Carnations were most
sought after, but most anything" in the
shape of a flower sold. Iris was the only
stock of which we had a surplus; still the
very fine ones did not go begging. J. A.
Peterson had some that were remarka-
bly beautiful; these sold at 5c. a spike.
Other sorts jvent at Ic. and 2c. Sweet
peas are still scarce in this market, as
are roses.
The new crop of fancy western ferns is
just coming in; the stock is a little soft,
but a few days more will harden it nicely.
Taking last month all through it has
Ijeeii far the best for business of any pre-
ceding May, and .June now looks very
favorable, as many orders for weddings
are booked in advance.
The Rose and Its Future.
I was very much interested in tlie
paper entitled" The Rose and its Future"
read by Benjamin Durfee, of Washington,
D. C, recently. I readily agree with him
that there is lots of room for improve-
ment in tbe rose, but a visit to the green-
houses of E. G. Hill, and a close inspec-
tion of that gentleman's seedlings, will
convince most any one that this flower is
not being neglected. I am also glad to
note Mr. Durfee admits that the Ameri-
can Carnation Society is the cause of thi.s
hustling in the rose ranks. Gentlemen,
we need both roses and carnations, and
there is yet lots of work to do improving
both of these grand flowers. The carna-
tion has not reached perfection. You
may have thousands of .seedlings, but to
get what is wanted is .still anutlier ques-
tion. And so it is witli tlie rose. Mr.
Hill has many truly beautiful seedlings,
but they are not what he wants. There
is one thing, however, that the rosarian
must not lose sight of in his zeal or his
love, and it is, that the carnation for dol-
lars and cents stands head and shoulders
with the rose. We cannot do without
either. Give us all the new and improved
sorts you can. It will helptoelevate our
calling, and increase the love for one of
God's greatest blessings.

American Seed Trade
Association's Annual Meeting,
The nineteenth .annual meeting of the
American Seed Trade Association was
held at Rochester, June 11, 12 and 13.
At the first session President Albert Mc-
Cullough, of J. M. McCullough's Sons,
Cincinnati, delivered an address in which
he referred to the fact that the associa,-
tion met in Rochester 16 years ago, since
when its membership and means for use-
fulness to its members had largely in-
creased. In a touching manner, he spoke
of the death of C. H. K. Breck, of Boston,
who presided over that meeting. He
urged the members to still further broaden
the usefulness, aims and purposes of the
association by aftiiated membership
with the National Board ot Trade.
Perhaps the most important business
tejiture of Mr. McCullough's address was
his review of the correspondence during
the year with the Department of Agricul-
ture, in reference to the free distribution
of packet seeds. Reputable seedsmen, ap-
preciating the great value of supplying
the trade with pure seeds, have been
greatly apprehensive that the Govern-
ment's distribution of seeds would work
much injury to the trade, because people
who receive their seeds from the Govern-
ment naturally suppose they are of the
best quality, and when this turns out not
to be tlie case, as has too frequently hap-
pened, the seeds furnished by contractors
not coming up to specifications as to
purity, the recipieuts of such seeds there-
after naturally distrust all seeds sent out
in packages. If this is persisted in by
the Government it will tend to greatly in-
jure an industry that has been honestly
built up through many years of careful
attention to tlie wants of patrons, and
an honest endeavor on the part of the
seed merchants to furnish to the public
only the very best seed. President Mc-
Cullough cougratulated the association
that tlie heads of the agricultural bureau
were Ijccouiing awakeneii to the abuses
in free seed distriliutiou,aiid to the impo-
sitions practical, and were making prom-
ises to mend matters. Many members of
Congress are beginning to see the neces-
sity of reform in this direction. They
recognize that their constituents will feel
under no gratituiie to them for having
sent them seeds that were utterly unre-
liable.
Mayor Carnahan welcomed the mem-
bers of the association to Rocliester and
the response was made by C. L. Allen,
who referred to the fact that since the
title of the FlourCity, by which Rochester
was formerly known, had now become
the "Flowfr City," it was permissible to
hear so flowery a speech as the Mayor
had just made.
.\ugust Riilker & Sons, New York; Jo-
seph Killing, Jr., Elyrla, Ohio; A. Tilton
& Son, Cleveland, Ohio; The Page Seed
Co., Greene, -N. Y.; and the Briggs Bros.
Co., Rochester, N. Y., were received as
new members.
Secretary and Treasurer S. F. Willard
presented his reports showing a balance
to the credit of the association.

When the association reassembled in
the afternoon the table of the president
was found to be adorned by vases of the
most beautiful sweet peas, of the follow-
ing varieties: Earliest of All, Blanche
Ferry, Bride, Countess of Radnor and
Lovely. These specimens wtre grown on
Mr. McCullough's own place, and were
pronounced by competent judges present
ii8 splendid cultures.
The report of (Jommittee on Postal
Laws, I'ostage on Seed Catalogues, etc.,
('has. H. Vick, chairman, was, at his re-
Muest, made verballj- by Chas. N. Page,
of Des Moines, Iowa, who presented
some valuable suggestions regarding
proposed nuidilications in present laws
1,'overniag postage on seed catalogues.
These recommendations, if put into effec-
tive shape, will be a material benefit to
not only the seed but other trades who
depend upon the mails largely. The Com-
mittee on Resolutions, in memory of Hon.
Chas. H. B. Breck, of Boston, presented
its report through T. W. Wood, of Rich-
mond, Va., which was unanimously
adopted. J. E. Northrup, of Minneapolis,
read a paper on "Inconsistencies," re-
viewing some abuses which have crept
into the trade. Alfred J. Brown's paper
on "Contracts" went quite thoroughly
into the subject and provoked an inter-
esting and spirited discussion, partici-
pated in by Messrs. Grenell, Robinson,
Allen, ('oryell. Wood, Northrup, Clark,
Mandeville, May and Dibble; and flowing
out of the discussion, on motion of Mr.
Wood, a joint committee of six, to be
selected half from the growers and half
from the dealers, was constituted to con-
fer and report not later than October
next to the Executive Committee, who
shall at their meeting next January pro-
mulgate the conclusions arrived at if ap-
proved by them.
A committee consisting of Messrs. Nor-
thrup, Brown and Schisler was named
to report on recommendations contained
in the president's address.
The following was read from the iiues-
tionbox: "What is the best method of
cleaning watermelon and cantelope and
other vine seeds? Is the use of sand in
cleaning an advantage'.'" Answered by
Mr. Robinson.
In the absence of the writer,who sent a
letter of regret at his enforced non-at-
tendance. Secretary Willard read a paper
by A. J. Pieters, of the Division of
Botany, Department of Agriculture,
Washington, I). C, which provoked con-
siderable friendly discussion, and a vote
of thanks was returned the writer. In
connection with this paper attention was
called by one of the members to the dis-
play at the Pan-American Exposition,
from the Agricultural Department. The
title of Mr. Pieters' paper was, " A Plea
for a Standard Grade of Guaranteed
Seeds."
F. H. Ebeling made a statement of cer-
tain abuses with regard to high duties
and irregular valuations in the matter of
customs on imported seeds, bulbs, etc.,
and Mr. Leonard reported that there was
promise that a remedy would be soon
found and applied, so as to place fewer
technical restrictions on the entry of seeds
from abroad.
The afternoon session adjourned at 6
o'c. until 8 o'c. when a paper was
read by C. L. Allen, of Floral Park, N. Y.,
on " Facts Pertaining to Plant Life and
Growth." Mr. Allen's paper was listened
to by many of the ladies, as well as the
gentlemen of the association, and abound-
ed in deductions from plant and vegeta-
ble life, confirmatory of the truths of re-
vealed religion. (It will appear in these
columns).
At Wednesday's morning session the
most important business was a vote to
affiliate in membership with the National
Board of Trade. This decision means
that the Seed Trade Association shall be
annually represented at the National
Board of Trade meetings by two dele-
gates who shall be appointed by the Ex-
ecutive Committee.
S. F. Willard presented a paper on
"Celery, Varieties and Sporting Habits."
He showed that there is a great ten-
dency to deteriorate, a iHfficulty that
all seedsmen experience when varieties
are taken from the section which pro-
duced them to be grown in other parts.
The cause of unsatisfactory results is very
likely to arise from improper treatment
in the seed bed. Probably no one item
that the seedsmen handle has, by varia-
tion, caused more trouble or loss. The
value of this crop is so great, both to the
seedsman and the gardener, that the at-
tention the entire trade is giving to the
matter will undoubtedly lead to great
improvement in celery stocks.
In an earnest talk,. Mr. Mandeville urged
that originators of novelties should be
given credit for them by all handlers of
the same. In the discussion following,
the speakers mostly expressed the same
view.
The Toledo Field Seed Co., and M.
('ushman & Co., of Rochester, were ad-
mitted to membersldp.
The afternoon session was of an execu-
tive character and lasted only a portion
of an hour, when an adjouiDment was
taken for a tallyho ride about Rochester-
Under the guidance of the local entertain-
ment committee, consisting of Messrs.
Vick, King, Mandeville, Grossman and
Briggs, Wednesday evening was given to
theater parties for those who chose that
method of entertainment, and for the lone
bachelors who had no wives nor knew
any ladies to take to the theater, u
smoker was an*anged at the Rochester
Club.
At the session of Thursday morning an
especially interesting and valuable paper
was presented by A. G. Trumbull, of
Kansas City, on "Kaffir Corn — How
Grown — Its Uses" that evoked a number
of queries.
The election of officers followed with
this result; President, Jesse E. Northrup,
Minneapolis, Minn.; first vice-president,
S. F. Leonard, Chicago; second vice-presi-
dent, F. H. Ebeling, Syracuse, N.Y.; secre-
tary and treasurer(re-elected), S. F. Wil-
lard, Weathersfleld, Conn.; assistant
secretary (re-elected), A. N.Clark, Milford,
Conn.; executive committee, Albert Mc-
Cullough, W.S. Galbraith, H. W. John-
son, M. S. Griffith and Mel. L. Webster;
membership committee, E.B.Clark, H.W.
Wood and H. M. Schisler.
The association voted its preferencefor
the next year's meeting very largely in
favor of Minneapolis.
There was a happy exchange of courtes-
ies between retiring President McCullough
and the members upon the presentation
to him of a very elegant cut-glass vase,
a toy for his grandson of recent arrival,
andabit of currency. Thankswerevoted
tothelocal entertainment committee, the
press, the Chamber of Commerce for the
use of its assembly room and to the re-
tiring officers for their energy and effi-
ciency.
The session was then adjourned until
2 o'clock, when all went on a pleasure
trip to a nearby summer resort where a
banquet was served and there were
short after-dinner speeches. C. P .W.
European Notes.
While the rains are confined in the main
to the cities as at present, no progress
can be reported with our growing crops.
The position as regards biennials lor
1902 harvest is very seriously jeopard-
ized. Extra early turnips, carrots and
radishes have already hardened up and
cannot make fresh growth. Rains
will, of course, help the later crops and
on these we shall have to rely.

up an extended European tour.

Misses Landreth, is now in London.

American Association
of Nurserymen.
The twenty-sixth annual convention of
the American Association of Nurserymen,
heUi at Niagara Falls, opened at 10 a.m.,
June 12, with over 200 members present.
President Theo. J. Smitli in the chair.
Wm. C. Barry, of Ellwanger & Barry, ex-
tended a welcometcj the vi.-^iting members
on behalf of the eastern nuraerj'men, to
which A. L. Brooke, of Kansas, responded
on behalf of the western nurserymen.
I'resident Smith read his annual address,
which was very brief, and referred mainly
to the future conduct of the business of
the association. The treasurer's report
showed a balance on hand of $2,232.13.
Col. Watrous, of Iowa, introduced the
subject of spraying fruit trees with Bor-
deaux mixture to protect them against
insects and fungi, and asked the advice of
the members in regard to a method of
carrying thespraying mixture. Mr. Gun-
ning, of Michigan, stated that their
spraying mixture was carried on a two-
wheeleil cart, drawn by a horse, the plat-
form being higher than the trees or shrubs
to be sprayed, and by this method fovir
rows at a time could be operated upon.
Professor L. H. Bailey, Ithaca, N. Y'.,
gave a talk on "What becomes of the
Nursery Tree'?"
A short recess was then taken for the
purpose of enabling the different states
to chose their vice-presidents for the ensu-
ing year. The following gentlemen were
so chosen: Alabama, W. F. Meyers; Ar-
kansas, G. A. Gambles; Colorado, George
J. Spear; Delaware, A. Pullen: Florida,

On account of tlie desire of many of the
members to visit the Pan-.\nierican Ex-
position in the afternoon, the meeting
was adjourned until 10 a. m., Thursday,
June 13.
The second day's sessions of the .Ameri-
can Association of Nurserymen were de-
voted to reports of standing committees
and election of orticers. The transpor-
tation committee reported having ob-
tained a reduction In theSouthern freight
rates of from 2.'» to 100 percent. Mr. Thur-
low, of -Massachusetts, recommended pay-
ing special rates to secure thei|ulck move-
ment of perishable goods. Irving Rouse
reported on behalf of tariff committee
that s])fclal efforts should be made to se-
cure fairer appraisements at ports of en-
try. Col. Watrous, chairman of the leg-
islative com mi ttce, gave details of efforts
of that committee to ward off inimical
legislation.

name as that." The lady is referring to
the picture of Aralia spinosa which ap-
peared recently in The Elorists' Ex-
change, and to its ooumionname "Devil's
Walking Stick." This name has been
given it because of its club-hke stems,
thickly Deset with prickles. I agree with
the correspondent in thLs case, and in
future will adopt a far better name for it,
found in old botanies, viz., "Angelica
Tree." Besides being a more euphonious
name,it is one under which the plant will
sell better. That names make or unmake
sales there is evidence to prove. I have in
mind a good customer of a local nursery-
man who, much as she would like to
have a Cercis japonica on her grounds,
will not take it, because of its common
name, .Judas tree. She wants nothing
with that name attached to it, she says.
While this lady is over-sensitive, the case
is mentioned as bearing on the question
of the selection of common names.
Rhododendrons. — I am glad to know
through Mr. Kelscy's note in the June 1
issue of The Florists' Exchange, that
the demand for Rhododendron maximum
is larger than I had supposed. Nursery-
men will not miss it in laying in a good
suppl.v, for besides being a good thing,
the cleaning out of the stock of hybrids
in England, as reports claim is the case,
will increase the call tor It. maximum.
No doubt there is a good stock of hybrid
rhododendrons in other parts of Europe,
if not in England; but importers should
remember that a great many kinds have
proved too tender tor our country, and
sorts not known to be hardy here are apt
to be disappointing. Some department
stores have taken to importing and sell-
ing rhododendrons, and, not knowing
that many kinds will not stand our cold
Winters, sell many plants which do not
survive the first Winter.
liigustrum japonicum, — We are in-
debted to Hiram T. Jones, of Elizabeth,
N. J.,forthefollowing notes on the hardi-
ness of Ligustrum japonicum :
Dear Sir — I notice in a recent issue of
The Florists' Exchange that you claim
Ligustrum japonicum to be perfectly ever-
green. This may be true in Philadelphia,
but my own plants during the past Win-
ter killed to the ground. They are start-
ing at the collar. They held their leaves
until about February 1, but the leaves
were badly browned before that date, so
that I can scarcely class the plant in
question with the hardy, broad-leaf ever-
greens. The only broad-leaf evergreen
that came through entirely uninjured
with me, was Andromeda floribnnda."
When the lines were penned to which
our correspondent refers, the vicinity of
Philadelphia was in mind, chiefly. Eliza-
beth, N.J. , is not so far from this city,
and I would hardly look for a great dif-
ference in the behavior of plants there.
The past Winter was one which we hope
not to see the like of for many a year.
Had there been an abundance of moisture
in the soil, many a tree would be alive
to-day, which is now on the brush heap.
In an exposed position, where high winds
made matters worse, some plants of this
privet here were depleted of their leaves
on the ends of the branches, while others
in sheltered places, and with moisture in
the ground, were perfect to their tops.
Moisture in the soil, as well as many
other things besides cold weather, are to
be considered when the (jueston of the be-
havior of a plant in Winter comes up. It
is well known that in the South the char-
acters of plants change. In a letter from
my friend. Professor Massey, of North
('arolina, a short time ago, speaking of
the f.'alitornian privet, he said it loses its
leaves there badly, more than further
north. An experience of some 10 years
or so with the Ligustrum japonicum
here assures me that it could safely be
recommended as a hardy evergreen,
though it might not pass through every
Winter unscathed.
Has Mr. Jones ever tried the broad-
leaved evergreen so popular in England,
.Skimmia japonica? It has passed
through several Winters here without in-
jury to a leaf, though the plant is but a
small one. Joseph Meehan.
Mattoon, IM. — Cassias M. Sargeant,
an expert horticulturist, died at his home
near Windsor, June S, aged S.^ years.
On Thursday, June 13, the American
Retail Nurserymen's Protective Associa-
tion met and elected the following

Secretary and Treasurer, E. M. Sherman,
Charles City, Iowa.
(154) Growing Eucalyptus at the
Sea Shore. We would like to know if
the eucalyptus plaut will grow at the
seashore. T. W. S. & Co.
— There appears no reason why the
eucalyptus would uot grow at the sea-
shore. Butif as meant, will it hveout as
a hardy tree, then the answer is "No."
By eucalyptus, is generally understood
the species globulus, as its rapid growth
and medicinal uses have brought it into
notice. This is an Australian tree and,
as with most other trees and shrubs
from there, the eucalyptus will not en-
dure freezing weather; two or three
degrees of frost kills it. Young plants
raised from seeds in early Spring and
planted in open air in May will reach a
height ol six feet by September. Where
grown tor medicinal purposes as it has
been about Philadelphia, the plants are
cut down and used in advance of an
expected freeze.
There are many species of eucalyptus,
and among them all one called Gunnii is
pronounced the hardiest. In the south
of England this one will flourish for
several years at times until an extra
hard Winter kills it. For the matter of
that, the globulus is also seen thereat
times, of good size, but sooner or later a
frost kills it too. Joseph Meehan.
(155) Trimming a California Priv-
et Hedge. What would be the best sea-
son of the year to trim a hedge of Cali-
fornia privet? What would be some of
the prettiest and best shapes tor such a
hedge? — N. A., Mass.
— The Californian privet needs two or
three trimmings a season to have it at
its best. The writer has just spent an
hour trimming a short hedge, and it will
be done twice more, once in August and
again in October. This correspondent
lives where the season is a little later
than it is here, so as a guide I would say
give the hedge a trimming whenever the
young shoots are about six inches in
length. Some folk are satisfied to give
but two cuttings— one in early July and
the other in September, but a trimming
three times keeps up a neat appearance
and thickens the hedge better than two
would do.
As to the best shape it depends alto-
gether on location. But the base should
always be slightly wider than the top,
or at least never narrower. Some-
times a square top hedge looks best; at
others a pointed one. The hedge is
somewhat intheposition of atree — while
a dwarf, rounded one would be just the
thing in one place, a tall, pointed topful
one would be properinanother.— Joseph
Meehan.
(156) A Rose Trouble.— I send you
some samples of leaves from young
rose bushes. The plants were bedded
about March 1 as I wanted them
for Summer blooming. Three weeks
ago I had to take off the glass
about half way to fix in a new
ridge. It rained nearly every day that
the glass was removed, and the nights
were cold. The plants showed no signs
of yellow leaves until the glass was put
on again. I tried to keep them at an
even degree of moisture and a little on
the dry side. I have also noticed a lot of
little white insects in the soil; these were
about the size of a greenfly and look ex-
actly the same as the greenfly except in
color. I have never seen any of them on
the foliage. Could you please tell me
through the columns of your paper the
cause of the foliage turning yellow and
advise as to what Is besttodoto remedy
the matter. I lost nearly all of my roses
last vear with eel worm, but would like
to have better luck this year. I have
some American Beauty in the same bench
as Bride and Bridesmaid from which lat-
ter the leaves sent were taken, but the
American Beauty are in first-class con-
dition. E. A. O.
—The roses have lost their foliage
through the uneven conditions that have
surrounded them since they wereplanted,
but with ordinary care they should re-
cuperate in a short time. The Insects
mentioned have probably come from the
manure; a dose of lime water will eradi-
cate them,
Baltimore.
At the regular semi-monthly meetlngof
the Gardeners' Club it was decided, ow-
ing to the enthusiasm over the proposed
trip to the Pan-American Exposition by
club members, not to have the usual
annual outing. It is said there will be
enough members who will go to Buffalo
to have a special car, if not a special
train. George O. Brown has been asked
to take charge of the excursion.
Richard \'incent, Jr., suggested that
the florist petition the next Legislature
to appropriate $3,000 for greenhouse
purposes at Maryland Agricultural Col-
lege. The chair appointed Richard
Vincent, Jr., GeorgeO. Brown and Robert
L. Graham committee on the petition.

The market.
Stock of all liinds is in abundance,
with a fair demand. June roses are in
full bloom and pa?onies are at tlieir best,
selling well at good figures- Carnations
arecominii in lieavily,yet ht)ld tlieir price
from$l..')0 up per 100. The values on
roses have dropped a little: out door
flowers are demanded, being cheap.
Sweet peas have sold remarkably well so

The plantsmen are still doing consider-
able trade: but it looks as if plenty of
stock will be left unsold.
Club News.
About 25 members atten<led the
last regular meeting of the Florists' ( 'lub,
President Falconer being in the chair.
After hearing reports from various mem-
bers regarding the flower show it was
decided to change the date to the week fol-
lowing, which will be Wednesda.v, June
19. This was necessitated by the cold
weather, wliich lias delayed all out door
blooms. Some promising e.\hibits from
owners of private places are assured. An
e.\hibit of wild flowers and ferns, accu-
ratel.v named, will be a feature, sent by
the Carnegie Museum. Attorney .lohn

rate places in the vicinity, lias promised

Mr. Falconer brought to the meeting a
fine collection of blooms of rhododen-
drons, which were much ,a<imired.
The convention of the S. A. F. O. H. in

Trade News.
Memorial Day business was very
satisfactory; flowers were very scarce,
no outdoor stock of any conseiiuence
was obtainable in this neighborhood.
Prices were, of course, higher than in
other years, especially at the public mar-
ket, where some unusuallj' high figures
were obtained, and everything was seld.
We don't remember another such Me-
morial Day, when flowers were so scarce.
Pjeonies came into full bloom the follow-
ing week, and stock of all kinds has been
overplentiful, Avitli a promise of an ex-
haustion again the coming weeks.
The weather is unusual indeed. After
a day or two of warmth it turned cold
and windy, the temperature going dan-
gerously close to the freezing point.
Baur & Smitli had some splendid Ethel
Crocker carnations for Memorial Da.y,
and Bertermann Bros, liit it right with
several thousand Lilium longiflorum.
The planting season has been very sat-
isfactory, and the call is still for good
plants, with tlie supply very short.
jottiiig:s.
Robert McKeand, the city florist,
reports all the parks planted; and he has
certainly done himself proud with most
of them. Many favorable remarks have
been made by the public; and in spite ol
the poor financial assistance afforded,
the parks make a very presentable ap-
pearance.
Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Wiegand will,
with a party of friends, visit Y'eliowstone
I'ark and the Northwest on June IS.
The Smith & Young Co. are building a
violet house 25 x 100 feet.
Tlie work on E. A. Nelson's new range
is progressing satisfactorily, and in a
short time tlie houses will be ready for
planting.
Alfred Pahnd is building a new office
and store addition to his establishment.
H, W. Rieman has been on the sick list,
but is again feeling much better and ex-
pects to canvass the field in regard to
delegates from rhis state to tlie Buffalo
meeting of the S. A. F. O. H.
Association Sleeting.
The .Tune meeting of the Florists'
Association was held at the Commercial
Club rooms, Tuesday evening, . I line 4.
Considering tlie busy season there was a
good attendance, and considerable busi-
ness transacted. Resolutions of sympathy
were reported by the committee on the
death of Mrs. .T. f). Carmody. These were
ordered spread on the minutes. The same
committee was continued and instructetl
to draft resolutions on tlie death of ISlrs.
W. W. Coles.
Win. Billingsly, Walter Bertermann and
H. W. Rieman, were a]ip(>iiited a, commit-
tee to consult the Mayor of the city in re-
gard to stopping a few Greeks from iieil-
dling flowers on the public streets.
On the subject of an outing for the club
considerable opposition was manifested;
therefore a committee, consisting of Alfreil
Baur, John Hartje and Wm. Billingsly,
was appointed tocanvass thesubject ami
report at the July meeting.
An invitation from Alliin Schreiber one
of our valued members, was received anil
accepted, asking the association to take
part in an evening's enjoyment at his
residence on Rural Street. We m,ay men-
tion on the quiet that it is a tin wedding
celebration.
In regard to the Carnation Society's
meeting nothing will be done until later
in the season, when we shall go to work
with a vim.
The subscriptions to the Chrysanthe-
mum Show fund are coming in slowly,
and soon will besutficientfor all intended
purposes. The decoration superiutendent
is already planning for snrpi'ises. Berter-
mann Bros., Baur & Smith, and W. W.
Coles had fine Ethel Crocker carnations
on exhibition. The silver and bronze
medals offered by the S. A. F. O. H. were
accepted and a committee of two ap-
pointed to take charge of them, when dis.
tributed, and instructed to have them
properly awarded during the exhibition.
Harry Balsley was a welcome visitor
to the meeting. H. H. Hatfield, one of
our oldest and most valued members,
was again present after a long siege of
rlieumatism.

A. B. Davis & Son are to close out
their retail catalogue trade, and devote
their whole plant to growing a fancy
grade of carnations for the Washington
market, and a few specialties for the
trade. The firm reports the largest ship-
ping business this Spring Itever had, both

Florists and Public Speaking.
It looks the simplest thing in the
world for a man to stand up and ex-
press himself in an intelligent and in-
telligible manner before a gathering of
his confreres, yet when many of us at-
tempt it. how seldom do we succeed to
our own satisfaction or the delight and
edification of our hearers! How most of
us, less fortunate, do admire and envy
those among us who can dilate before
the largest assemblages on the most
weighty subjects, in the readiest man-
ner possible, with an ease that accom-
panies the narration of the most triv-
ial quip or joke! While some are nat-
urally gifted in this direction — a gift
fortified by a fair amount of self-confi-
dence and aided by a complete knowl-
edge of the subject under consideration
— there are others who, like Demosthe-
nes of old, have acquired fluency of
speech only after years of patient en-
deavor, stage fright, most every one's
common portion, having had to give
way to persevering effort.
There is no doubt that many a gem
of real practical worth has remained
unuttered in our florist clubs and so-
ciety meetings simply from the sup-
posed inability of its possessor to "face
the music." An itching desire to say
something, to further elaborate a spok-
en thought or correct a misstatement,
has often seized many of us; but when
we essayed to rise, knees have trem-
bled and knocked against each other,
that "unruly member" has refused to
act its part, and we have remained
seated — and silent. However, once
freed from the trammels with which
the club-room is supposed to fetter us,
that self-same tongue will keep wag-
ging on that self-same subject until far
on into the night, at some street corner
or elsewhere, for the edification and
benefit of only a select and privileged
few.
The same hesitancy very often occurs
with respect to writing. How many
times do we hear a man. whose prac-
tical knowledge disseminated would be
of the greatest value to the horticultu-
ral world, remark: "I am no hand at
the pen. I know all about such and
such a subject, but I cannot tell it In
writing."
Now. both of these difficulties are
largely imaginary and should be over-
come. Every one gifted with the power
of speech should get up when occasion
demands and tell his story in his own
way, Irrespective of oratorical effect or
strict adherence to the rules of gram-
mar, and every one capable of writing
should indite his words as best he can,
with little or no heed as to whether
the caligraphy is of the best or Lennie
has been insulted by the sentences
written. We want the diamond in the
rough as well as polished, and horti-
cultural listeners everywhere will wel-
come the nugget of common sense and
practical advice, no matter though it
yet be wrapped in the virgin clay from
which it emanated. Let those whose
duty it is to polish it and render it
presentable to the critical and admir-
ing world, as usage in such cases de-
mands, do their part. Only do yours;
speak or write — not for the sake of
talking or scribbling, but that your fel-
low-craftsmen may be benefited.
"When you have anything to say. say
it," as the Chelsea sage remai-ks, or
words to that effect. The florists of
America, in these days, need more
grain and less chaff than what is now
offered them, and we can get it, for it
is available — were those demons, stage
fright and imagined incapability, but
relegated to the rear. And let the floor
of the club-room and the columns of
the class press be your forum.
This advice is not. of course, vouch-
safed to those who now "are glib with
the pen and tongue." They don't need
it.
BOOKS RECEIVED.
Cabbage. Cauliflower and Allied
Vegetables, from Seed to Harvest.
By C. L,. Allen, author of Bulbs and
Tuberous-rooted Plants. Illustrated.
12mo. pp. 100. cloth. Orange Judd Co.,
New York. Price 50c.
All the various types and varieties of
cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli. Brussels
sprouts, kale, collards and kohi-rabi
have sprung from one original form or
species, thus furnishing one of the
most interesting and wonderful illus-
trations of plant variation in the whole
vegetable kingdom. The author of this
book has devoted a lifetime to this
study, a.nd, living on Long Island, in
the very heart of the most favorable
cabbage growing section in the United
States, and being himself largely and
practically interested in this industry,
is probably more familiar with its va-
rious details than any. other man. Con-
siderable space is devoted to the ex-
planation of the requirements, condi-
tions, cultivation and general manage-
ment pertaining to the entire cabbage
group. After this each class is treated
separately and in detail, as indicated
in the sub-title, "From Seed to Har-
vest." The chapter on seed raising is
probably the most authoritative treat-
ise on this subject ever published, and
will be intensely interesting and valu-
able to all those engaged in this Indus-
try. Insects and fungi attacking this
class of vegetables are given due at-
tention with a view to affording the
reader the latest and most effective
means for their prevention and destruc-
tion. Very many of the horticultural
books appearing in these modern times
bear the earmarks of the compiler, but
there is a convincing and practical tone
about this entire work which at once
assures the reader of the safety in fol-
lowing the instructions given in its
pages. The book can be obtained of
The Florists' Exchange at the price
named — 50c.

The Year Book for 1000, just issued,
contains as a frontispiece an excellent
portrait of the late William Saunders, of
whom Secretary of Agriculture Wilson in
his report says: "He was a man of ster-
ling integrity, and during his long and
useful life labored constantly to advance
the cause of agriculture inall lt.s branches. ' '
Among the subjects treated in the vol-
ume, of more or less direct interest to our
readers, are the following : Smyrna

mercial Plant Introduction; Fungus Dis-
eases of Forest Trees; How Birds affect
the Orchard; Commercial Pear Culture;
Development of the Trucking Interests;
The Date Palm and its Culture; Practi-
cal Irrigation; Testing Commercial \'arie-
ties of Vegetables; The Influence of Re.
frigeration on the Fruit Industry; Our
native Pasture Plants, and a sketch of
Mr. Saunders' life and work. In addi-
tion, the Year Book contains a host of
useful information.
Under the caption " Seed Division " ap-
pears the following :
" It appears from the report of the As-
sistant Secretary on the purchase and
distribution of seeds, that of the total
appropriation for this purpose of $130.-
000 there has been expended during the
fiscal year$127,654, of which $24,293. 73
was for salaries of emplo^vees engaged in
seed distribution, and $20,000 was de-
voted as provided by Congress for the
purchase of rare and valuable foreign
seeds and plants distributed through the
agency of the Section of Seed and Plant
Introduction, and which have already
been covered in the present Report.
"The records of the Seed Division
show that apart from $2,120.91 expend-
ed for miscellaneous seeds and $1,663 for
vegetable and field seeds distributed to
sufferers by flood in Texas, there were
purchased 14,738,908 packets of seeds of
all sorts, of which 13,531,649 were dis-
tributed to Senators, Representatives
and Delegates in Congress, an excess over
the two-thirds reserved by law for Mem-
bers of Congress of 3,705,490 packets.''
OBITUARY.
Solomon Garland.
An old settler has passed away in the
person of Solomon Carland, who died at
his home in Desplaines,' near Chicago,
June 6, in his 71st year. Fm- some years
past he had been a sufferer from asthma,
and spent the Winter mouths in Florida.
He returned from there with his wife
about two weeks ago, took a cold, which
developed into pneumonia, and the end
came after a week's illness.
Deceaseil was born in New York, May
10,1830. He came to C'hicago with his
father in 1843. In .June, isiil. he pur-
chased land on the Desplaines river, and
went into the vegetable business, build-
ing a small greenhouse as early as 18(52.
For years, he and his sons as they grew up,
were very successful when vegetable rais-
ing was a highly profitable business. A
load of vegetables in boom times would
bring in $200 to $300. This was before
the railroads began to bring in the south-
ern supply. His one greenhouse grew in-
to quite a range, all at one time heated
by cord wood and old-fashioned flues,
and glazed with 6x8 glass. Twelve or
13 years ago, with his sons, he embarked
in the florists' business. S. Garland, .Jr.,
now runs theold place and, with his wife,
has resided with the old folks near by on
the homestead. Mr. Garland'sother sons,
Warren S. and Frank, have both large
greenhouse establishments, while George
M. sold out his interest to go into the
manufacture of the Garland gutter.
There are two daughters, Lily, married
to F. M. Jones, and Fanny , married to Fred
Wittbold, of the Geo. Wittbold Co. The
funeral was held at 2:30 p. m., on Satur-
day, June 8. A large display of flowers
sent by loving friends surrounded the
bier, the house being more than full of
old settlers and florist friends. The re-
mains were interred at Park Ridge ceme-
tery.
Peter J. Hiltman.
Peter J. Hiltman. for twenty-eight
years superintendent of the Salem
Fields Cemetery, in Queens County,
N. Y., died last week. On Tuesday af-
ternoon Hiltman and his wife were
buried together in one grave, in the
cemetery beside which they had lived
for so long. Their deaths occurred only
a few hours apart.
Mr. Hiltman was born in Germany,
and was seventy-three years old. Be-
fore becoming the superintendent and
landscape gardener of the Salem Fields
Cemetery, which is owned by the Tem-
ple Emanu-El, of New York City, he
was the Superintendent of Parks In
Elizabeth, N. J. He was a well-known
Free Mason, a member of Cassia
Lodge and of the DeWitt Clinton
Commandery, Knights Templars, and
also of the Arion Society, of Brooklyn.
About three months ago the old su-
perintendent's health began to fail.
Members of Temple Emanu-El urged
treatment, but he prefeired to remain
at his post. There his faithful wife
nursed him. She was indefatigable in
her attentions, and when his illness de-
veloped into pneumonia the strain
fln.nlly began to tell upon her own
health.
Mrs. John Thorpe.
Clara, wife of .John Thorpe, died at
11 :15, Saturday evening, June 8, at their
residence, 574 55th Street, Chicago. Mr.
Thorpe was away from home attending
to some landscape work, and did not
reach hishouse beforethe end came. The
burial took place at 3 o'clock Tuesday
following.
A. Lange received the sad tidings of the
death of his father in Arizona last Thurs-
day. The body will be brought to Chi-
cago for interment. Ess.

New York Florists' Club.
A very jt'ratif.ving atteiulaiu'e Avas pres-
ent at the club meeting tin Monday even-
ing last, June 10. In tlie unavoidable
absence of President .Slieriiian, who was
attending the funeral services of a friend
of his familj-, the vice-president, Alex.
Wallace, occupied the cliair, he apologiz-
ing tor errors and omissions consequent
upon a maiden effort.
Special Prizes for Fall Show.
The Ways and Means Committee
reported the distribution of subscription
blanks to each member, and these, it was
hoped, would be put to good jnirpose.
Special premiums amounting to$.'jO were
announced from Messrs. Peter Henderson
& Co., to be compoteil for in Class KiT.for
best display of table vegetables, first
prize $30, second, $20; and, through
Messrs. Young & Nugent, a prize of $20
from Peter Crowe, of titica, to be applied
at the discretion of the club. Both donors
were thanked for their generous offers.
The OutlDg to liOcnst Point.
It was reported on behalf of the
Outing Committee, that the tickets were
now on sale, and i|uite a number had
been disposed of. It was flually decided
that two tickets be sent to each member,
with the request that pa.vment for same
be made at the boat. If the tickets are
used. It is to be hoped that every mem-
ber who can will take in this— the first
outing of the club — as an enjoyable time
is promised. The date is July 8, and the
destination Locust Point on the Sound,
the trip furnishing a sail along a water-
way unsurpassed anywhere. Music will
be provided, and bowling alleysare avail-
able. Come yourself and bring your
family and a lunch basket. Refreshnients
may also be obtained on board, and din-
ner secured for those desiring such, at
Locust Point, on prior notification being
given the committee.
".Put Me off at Buffalo."
After a free discussion of the matter, the
West Shore R. R. was decided upon as the
route by which the delegates shall travel
to liuffalo in August next. The party
will go on thecertificate plan, the fare for
the round trip being $10.70. Tickets are
good from Saturday, August 3 to Tues-
day, August 13. The journey will be
made in the daytime. If the contingent
is large enough a special train having
a dining car for the purposes of the dele-
gates will be provided.
Mr. O'Mara, who had just returned
from a visit to Buffalo, spoke favorably
of the Larkin Flats as a suitable domi-
cile for the party. The terms were rea-
sonable—$1 to $1.50: restaurants were
close by , and the location o[ the Flats with-
in easy distance of convention hall. The
club recommended that the committee in
charge endeavor to secure accommoda-
tion for the New York contingent at the
Larkin Mats (appropriiitcly named, when
ire get there). Full particulars of trans-
portation and hotel arrangements will
be given later.
Death of Peter J. HUtman.
The chairman announced the death
of fellow-member Peter J. Hiltman, super-
intendent of Salem Fields Cemetery, also
that of his wife. Their deaths occurred
only a few hours apart. The club's floral
token was ordered sent to the funeral of
the deceased. A committee consisting of
Messrs. A. L.Miller, D. Y.Mellis and John
Young, was appointed to draw up suita-
ble resolutions of sympathy with the be-
reaved family.
Two new members were elected, and
several names placed in nomination.
A Well-Degerved Complliuent.
On motion of Wm.J . Stewart, the club,
b.y rising vote, elected Wm. R. Smith, of
Washinjfton, an honorary member. Mr.
Stewart spoke appreciatively of Mr.
Smith's services rendered to horticulture,
in obtaining a national charter for the
S. A. F. O. H., adding that by thus hon-
oring Mr. Smith, the club honored itself
— a sentimentthat was loudly applauded,
lllastrated Lecture on Hawaii,
The lecturer of the evening, John
K. r^. M. Fari|uhar, of Boston, was then
intro<luced, and delivered a most enter-
taining and instructive address on the
Hawaii Islands, illustrated by stereopti-
cou views. The wonderful and interest-
ing vegetation of the various islands
was charmingly described, and many
representations of it, some in natural
colors, thrown on the screen, .\mong
edible vegetables grown there, Mr. Far-
quhar spoke in favor of the soja bean,
which when cooked was exceedingly pal-
atable. He advised that some of the
.Tapanese varieties of this bean be ob-
tained and grown in this country for
culinary purposes. Thirteen varieties of
Caladium esculentum are cultivated in
Hawaii, this caladium forming one of the
most important vegetable plants of the
tropics and from which the staple food of
the natives — poi — is obtained. Musa Ca-
vendishii is largely grown ; but the lecturer
believed the M.sapientum would befound
more desirable, taking about four months
less time in which to ripen its fruit. The
great adaptability of the islands for the
growing of sugar cane was touched on,
and several of the fields Illustrated. One
of the most ilelicious fruits was the
Chinese nut, which tastes like a Muscat
grape. This plant, Mr. Farquhar believed,
should be grown by American gardeners,
as should the Japanese raspberry.
The United States Department of -Agricul-
ture should send to Hawaii some one
having a knowledge of tropical fruits,
such as cocoanuts, mangoes, grapes,
bananas, figs, dates, and sucli like plants
of economic value, in order to develop
their cultivation there; and when that is
done, there is no reason why these islands
should not become a source of supply for
these food staples, the islands being quite
as accessible to San Francisco as .la-
maica is to Baltimore, New York or Phi-
ladelphia. All the vegetables found in the
temperate zone could also be cultivated.
These were to be seen now in the mark-
ets of Honolulu.
Mr. Farquhar spoke in glowing and
admiring terms of the poincianas, the
phyllanthus, ipomuas, and especially of
the Chinese hibiscus, metrosideros varie-
ties and other flowering plants; of the
nephrolepis and other ferns, the royal
palm, Oreodoxa regia, and rubber, and
Otaheite orange trees. He mentioned
that in one collection there were 170 dif-
ferent kinds of palms, and believed the
florists of America would obtain future
supplies of palm seed from Hawaii. Vinca
rosea alba was largely used by the Chinese
in their cemeteries. There are no florists
in Honolulu, but the natives gather the
wiUl flowers, which with various seeds
they fabricate into leiis, or wreaths. A
pretty custom, and one which the lec-
turer hoped would never die out, was the
decoration with these wreaths of friends
leaving for a journe.v ; two of the wreaths
are presented to each voyager, one being
kept and the other returned to the donor,
each signifying good luck. Carnations
are cultivated to some extent by China-
men; but one of the most charming
plants is the Plumeria bicolor, which
grows luxuriantly there. Mr. Farquhar
showed pictures of some fields of Japan-
ese longiflorum lilies, which had been
grown in one of the islands at his sugges-
tion. He believed the lily industry could
be successfully engaged in there. The
seasons are practicall.v obliterated, and
there is no reason why a crop of lilies
could not be obtained any month of the
year desired. The bulbs could be trans-
ported cheaper from Hawaii than from
Japan. The expense of cultivation need
not be greater than in ,Iapan, and two
crops a year were sccurable, with the ad-
vantage of getting the bulbs at any de-
sired season. There was no disease there,
and a copious rainfall and ample drain-
age were provided. The speaker closed
his very interesting lecture with a plea
for the better recognition by the United
States Government of the great agricul-
tural value of these islands to the W'estern
States particularly. .\t the close of his
remarks a rising vote of thanks was ten-
dered Mr. Farquhar.
Nice exhibits of iris were made by W.

Hall Insurance Yet Effective.
The extensive reports of United States
Consul Covert at Lyons, France, relative
to the success of cannon firing in France
as a means of protecting orchards and
vineyards from hailstorms, and also for
the purpose of mitigating or nullifying
the effects of frosts upon vegetation, have
prompted numerous inquiries by horti-
culturists in this country as to when, if
at all, our Government would adopt simi-
lar methods of protection. Willis L.
Moore, C'hief of the Weather Bureau, act-
ing under the direction of Secretary Wil-
son, therefore has issued to the press the
following statement:
" After an examination of all that has
been published during the past two j'ears,
my conviction is that we have here to do
with a popular delusion as remarkable
as is the belief in the effect of the moon
on the weather. The uneducated peas-
antry of Europe seem to be looking for
something miraculous. They would
rather believe in cannonading as a means
of protection and spend on it abundance
of money, time, and labor than adopt
the very simple expedient of mutual in-
surance against the losses that must in-
evitably occur.
" The great processes going on in the
atmosphere are conducted on too large a
scale to warrant any man or nation in
attempting to controUhem. The energy
expended by nature in the production of
a hailstorm, a tornado, or a rainstorm
exceeds the combined energy of all the
steam engines and explosives in the
world. It is useless for mankind to com-
bat nature on this scale.
" After the experience that this country
has had during the past 10 years with
rainmakers, I am loth to believe that the
bombardment of hailstorms will ever be
practiceii or even attempted in the United
States, much less encouraged by the in-
telligent portion of the community.
Every effort should be made to counter-
act the spread of the Italian delusion,
which has been imported into this coun-

Ti.v the Ki'eatbiilk ot florists, planting is
(lefei'reil until the becUling stock is sold,
anil plantetl ont; and now that the rush
of such work is practically over, it is
hiK'h time to see about cleaning and till-
ing the houses ready tor planting the
chrysanthemums. It is to be assumed
that your young plants are in good con-
dition liy this time, and ready tor plant-
ing, though, of course, cuttings can be
rnoteil tor several weeks yet for late
work, and low side benches. It is far
better to propagate late if the bead room
is restricted, than it is to plant out good
stock in .June, and then have to bend and
twist the stems every way later on, to
keep the tlowers down from the glass.
Plants put out this month ought to be
allowed from four to five and a halt
feet ot head room, according to variet.v,
and if you have not got that space I
would say, don't plant till the first week
in.luly.
It is sometimes a source of anxiety to
a man who has not gone in for ehrysan-
thenium growing before to an.y extent,
wliether he will put his plants in a solid
bed or on a bench. If I had a solid bed
in a house, I don't know that I wouhl
trouble to change it: but if I were build-
ing a new house for chrysanthemums, I
would certainly put np benches tor the
purpose. The finest flowers I have ever
seen were grownin fourinchesof soil, and
I consider any greater depth than that
entirely unnecessary.
In growing early varieties I would al-
ways recommend benches, because one
wants to be able to control the growth
of the plants at all seasons, and particu-
larl.y at the time when the plants are set-
ting their buds. If .your earl.y varieties
are growing strongly along in the last
days of August, just when they should
be showing buds, it is possible, b.y a judi-
cious reduction of the water suppl.v, to
make them produce buds just when you
want them. This is very easy of a'ccom-
plishment, it your plants are in benches,
but not so easy it they are in solid beds;
MUd it m.akes a big difference sometimes
in the price of the flowers, whether you
can get your earlier kinds cut oft in Octo-
ber, or whether they drag on into mid-
season.
Merry Monarch, I'olly Rose, and all
these early whites, drop down out of
sight when Mrs. Henry Eobinson begins
to come in.
In jjlanting, the distance apart to put
out the plants is a question that .you
must settle tor youi'self, being guided by
the gra<leof flowers you wish to produce.
Wome growers of the highest grade
flowers plant as far apart as 10 inches,
by 10 or by 9 inches, according to the
density of the foliage In different varie-
ties. This ma.v seem a waste of space for
single stems, but it is none too much
when the plants are 4 or .5 feet high.
Other growers take threeor four flowers
from the same space, but the quality ot
the flowers is very different from that of
the first named.
In planting, keep your early varieties
all on the one bench together, then they
will be all cut away at practically the
same time, and you can utilize the space
thus obtained to good advantage in the
early Fall tor plants ot any kind that
have to come inside before the frosts get
too severe. After planting, pound the
soil over, evenly and firmly, a half brick
being a useful aid for this job, and then
give a good watering. Do not shade the
house at all, but put on all the air you
can, and leave it on day and night.
Syringe your plants overhead a time or
two a day. They will respond almost im-
mediatel.v,and begin to grow away freely,
and then you should endeavor to get
them entirely free from aphis by frequent
fumigation. If you have your plants per-
fectly clean to start with, they will often
keep clean half the Summer, whereas, if
the black and green fly are only kept
down and not exterminated, they will be
a continual drain on the plant; and the
green fly in particular, if not closely
watched and cleaned out, will seriously
injure the young, delicate foliage in the
tips of the shoots. " Prevention is better
than cure," is a flrst-class motto.
lORA.
BRIEFS FOR BUSY FLORISTS.
Chrysanthemums.— Young plants, new-
ly set out on the benches, need a little
extra attention with regarfi to watering
\intil the roots have taken well hold of
the soil. The one thing to avoid is over-
watering afterwards. When the bench is
full of roots, it is almost an impossibility
to give the plants too much water; but
at present, when the roots are just reach-
ing out into the new soil, a soggy condi-
tion of the latter is anything but desira-
ble and must be avoided. Instead of
watering the whole bench when it only
appears to be dry in spots, it is far better
to water the dry places and omit the rest.
Should the black or green fly attack the
young plants, dust over them some fine
powdered tobacco. Do this after a light
sj'ringing and the dust will adhere l)etter
to the foliage, and be just as effective.
AnnisrAS. — Young plants of these might
just as well be planted outdoors for the
next two months; they will make a bet-
ter growth and need less care than if kept
In the past the entire globe has been
searched for new plants worthy of culti-
vation, and the sending out of collec-
tors for this purpose by many of the
European houses has been given up
because ot the expense and losses attend-
ing it.
Chief among the plants of recent intro-
duction are a number ot palms, quite
new and very distinct and man,y unique.
Areca Illsemanni is one ot the most
beautiful plants I have ever seen, with
arching slender fronds. The stems are
dark chocolate red, showing in marked
contrast to the rich green leafage. One
other feature of the plant is the young
leaves appearing a bright red, and re-
taining this color for some lime after.
It is a native of the Pacific Islands.
Kentia Kusteniana is another remark-
able new palm and quite attractive, the
pinnae of which are shaped very similarly
to the dorsal fin of a shark. This palm
is quite distinct from all others and
ver.y rare. A native of New Zealand.
Kentia Sanderiana is not so rare but
NephrolepiB Wiitboldii.
Sliowing plant si.'i months old, grown from a runner.
in pots. Plants of salable sizes will be
better kept in pots; and if slat frames
are at command, that is the place tor
them.
Plenty of asters, sweet-peas and
other things to provide cut flowers will
have been put in the ground ere this and
we must look to having a continuous
supply by planting other batches at in-
tervals.
Some New Plants.
William Duckham, of Madison, N. J.,
recently addressed the New Jersey
FloricijUural Society at its rooms in
Orange on the subject of " Some New
Plants." He said in part: I myself am
a lover of plants, and consequently have
kept somewhat in touch with the chan-
nels tor learning of anything new or rare
ot recent introduction. Before taking
up the subject of new plants, I would
say what has often occurred to me, and
quite forcibly too, that we are not doing
all we might in the way of plant grow-
ing. We are neglecting some of the
most beautiful of our greenhouse plants
and following too much the strictl.y
commercial lines where "what pays",
or what is merely pretty are considered,
and which are few indeed. While roses,
chrysanthemums and carnations are in-
dispensable, even to the exclusion ot
much else, yet where room can be given,
the effort should be made to possess a
few ot the choice greenhouse plants,
some of the most effective of which are
yet the oldest of our favorites, and it is
greatl.y to be regretted that these are
not grown more. As I have remarked in
a previous talk before the society, a
young man entering our profession fails
ito know these because he seldom or never
sees them, and because the desire tor cut
flowers has displaced the choice green-
house plants.
one of the best palms there is. It really
looks more like an areca than a kentia,
but is more graceful and better in every
way than the former.
Licuala Jeanenceyi is a beautiful new
species which must certainly become
popular when better known. It retains
its foliage to the pots. The fronds are
tan shaped, much divided and square at
the ends and notched in a curious man-
ner. It is one of the best.
Linospadix Petrickiana is a distinct
and new palm from New Guinea. Unlike
most other palms, the leaves stand out
flat; the young fronds, as in Areca Illse-
manni, are a bright red color.
Salmea Lancheana is a stately new
stove plant, alhed to Carludovica, with
dark green, oblong leaves divided into
two pointed lobes, and quite distinct
from any plant I know.
Ludovia crenifolia is another beautiful
and distinct new plant, with large dark
green, leathery leaves, beautifully crenate
at the margin, attaining a height ot six
feet. Very ornamental and attractive.
Draca-na Cantlaya is a beautiful plant,
quite distinct from any other dracsena.
The leaves are very large and broad, of a
clear light yellow, with eye-like spots.
Draciena Victoria, another ver.y beau-
tiful new plant, is of strong and vigorous
growth. The leaves droop very grace-
fully, and are of a beautiful golden color,
with a little green through the center of
each leaf. This is one ot the best intro-
ductions of recent years.
One other plant which has attracted
my attention isColeus thyrsioideus. The
leaves are green, deepl.v cut, and the
flower a beautiful blue, about the shade
of that ot Salvia patens. I believe this
plant when known will become as pop-
ular as Begonia Gloire de Lorraine, as it
blooms in Winter about the time that
the begonia does. I saw this coleus in
Europe last year, very fine, where it is
being grown extensively. Someplantsot
ithavealready foundtheirwa.vover here.
When in England last Fall, I saw some
very fine new plants, but at present the
stock is so limited they will not be of-
fered for sale for some time to come; not-
ably some heliconias that were wonder-
ful in color.
The plants I have mentioned are the
best of the introductions of the past two
years, and are all worthy ot being better
known, when they are sure to be exten-
sively grown.
Mr. Duckham closed with an invitation
to all to visit, and also compete at, the
annual show ot his society at Madison
next November, and presented schedules
to each one present.
A hearty vote of thanks was given Mr.
Duckham tor his able, instructive and
entertaining discourse.
Encouraging reports were read from
those co-operating with the society in
the distribution of plants among the
school children, among others, letters
commendator.v and laudatory from the
Superintendent of Schools. Secretar.v
Smith reported the work of distribution
ns then taking place, and Treasurer Mae-
Rorie stated that additional funds had

How to Enter the Fan-American.
Some ot your readers may visit the
Pan-American Exposition early in the
season, and for that reason I write a few
words of advice. Either from indiffer-
ence, or some object not clearl.v known,
the street cars carr.v 75 per cent, of all
the visitors to what is known as the
West Amherst gate. This brings one di-
rectly to the rear ot some of the large
buildings, also the noise and hubbub of
the Midway; and it is probable you will
never see the real beauty of the whole
scene. If you do you have alread.y re-
ceived the impression that the Pan-
American is a crowded place, and little
different from any other big fair.
Now this is all wrong. I beg of you

one and all to enter the grounds from
Lincoln Parkway. To do this take the
Main Street cars that are marked " For-

conductor says, get off at I,incoln Park-
way. A walk of 200 yards brings you to
tlie grand entrance and then another 200
yards through the lovely olil park brings
you to the Triumphal (.'auseway with the
four nuijestic towers. To the right or left
the view is beautiful, but the view you
are facing is one you will never forget.
You are now entering the Grand Espla-
nade; horticulture group on the left,
Government P.uilding on the right, music,
ethnology, machinery building, liberal
arts, electricity, agriculture to the right
and left of the Grand Basin, and in the
distance the majestic electric tower
crnwned by the Goddess of Light, whose
ontstretclieil hand is 40.5 feet from the
ground. This graml court, with its set-
ting of inagnilii-ent architecture, its foun-
tains, its trees and statuary, is a picture
never yet equalled. This is the verdict
of men who liave seen all that is to lie
seen. Governor Roosevelt said so, and
so do I, and that settles it.
There are sights enough to last you a

take in the beauty of the scene first.

Facts Pertaining: to Plant Life.
J Read It.Y C. L. Allen, Floral Park, A'. Y , brfore

ter, N. Y., .Tune 11-lH, IHOI.
Life is the active principleof every crea-
tion susceptible of grfiwth or develop-
jiient. It is the sou! of being. As sucli,
plant life does not differ from that either
of animal or insectlife. otherthau in fiirni
t)r degree. To know the pl;nit we must
neeils first to underataiul tlu' jirinciples
that govern plant life, to ascertain its
pl.Mce in the economy of nature, so far as
the limit of the huiuan understanding
will permit.
Platit life is more of a stml.vthan is gen-
erally supposed. The plant as a botani-
cal study is a simple matter; that is, ifs
general external structure and appear-
ance, and the relationship of genera, spe-
cies aiul varieties. Plant analysis has
been so perfected that it is, relatively, an
easy matter for the student to tell just
where any oneof the 1.50.tKK)spi'cics that
have been described andclassilied belongs.
A natural fondness for the study, together
with a keen perception and a retentive
memory, will soon accomplish this, so
that a glance will enable thebotanistto
tell just what fruit a given plant will pro-
duce. And here let me say, the fruit of
the plant is the seed, as for instance, the
fruit of the apple is its seed, and ufit the
part we eat. The same is true witli the
peach, the plum and the cherr.y, as well
as that of all other trees and plants. The
fruit is that part of the plant that con-
tains the active principle of reproduction.
The part we eat is simply matter that is
provided for the protection of the seed in
its infant state, the same as the fibre
we know as cotton Is for the protection
of the infant gossypium.
I'.ut the plant, as a life, cannot be de-
termined by an analysis of any of its spe-
cies or varieties; it must be treated syn-
thetically. The study must be compre-
hensive— not only form and substance,
together with products and their uses,
but the purpose of its creation, and the
anakjgy that exists between a.nini.'il and
pl.ant life.
In tracing the analogy that exists be-
tween animal and plant life, some of the
most interesting, as well as the most as-
tounding and marvelous facts naturally
present themselves, some of which it will
be our pleasure to relate. Put in order to
fully understand and api)reciate plant
lite, we cannot commence with the pres-
ent, but must, of necessity, take up pre-
existing forms.
When the Creator mapped out the Uni-
verse with the golden compasses of wis-
dom and power, there was not an item
of space, or a particle of matter over-
looked, or neglected. His commands
were, that the earth, inlaid with gohl
and precious gems, should have its sur-
face clothed with all that is useful to the
animal forms. He had designed to in-
habit it.and that the beautiful, as Victor
Hugo has said, "should be as useful as
the useful, perhaps more so." Between
each ^degree, from i^iole to pole, the
two great orders of creative energy — the
gether. The importance of this lesson
will be seen later on. No species, either
plant or animal, was created until abun-
dant means of support was furnished.
Every creation was a study. Every one
of the 150,000 species of plants that have
been found, tlescribed, and classified is
the result, or the expression of a thought.
The imprint of purpose is on every leaf,
in every flower. It is manifest in the
strong fibre of the hemp and in the silken
web of the caterpillar cocoon.
The same thought impressed upon the
whale that requires an ocean to swim in,
was given to the infusoria, millions of
which can dwell in a singledropof water.
Each wears the insignia of purpose. The
tiny insect walks, crawls or flies, in obe-
dience to command; its every move is
for a purpose. The narrow blade of
grass, or the delicate little harebell that

auiiuate and inanimate, or the fauna and
flora— were adapted focnch other's neces-
sities. The plant, clireilly (U- indirectly,
supplied the animal, from the lowest to
the highest forms, with food and cloth-
ing, as well as the material for the furnit-
ure in the most luxuriant, as well as the
most humble home. While the plant re-
ceives its nourishment from the wastes
of animal life, each form lives for the other
— and upon each other. The breath of
the oxisthe food of the plant upon which
he fattens. Between the two there is a
constant exchange of the elements of vi-
tal force — of creative energy.
In ocean, lake and river, the plant was
created for the use of the animal, the fish
and the moUusk that inhabit the waters.
They live and dwell together in the most
perfect harmony, each living upon the
wastes of the other, and for each other.
No form was created until some other
form had been perfected upon which it
could subsist.
In every localit.v the fauna and flora
were adapted to the existing tempera-
ture, and where it is the same, it matters
not whether it be at a high elevation, in
the tropics, or near sea level at the north,
the same species of animals and plants
will be found, dwelling in harmony to-
lures us upthedangerdusmountaiu path,
were as noble thoughts as the lofty tree
that overshadows them. They were cre-
ated for a purpose and are essentials in
the economy of nature.
This is a slight digression from the
path we intended to follow; let us re-
turn, and note tlie evolution of the plant,
which will be a short story, but perhaps
interesting, as familiarity with the law of
development will make plain the cause of
deterioration.
The era of vegetation had its birth
when the Spring of the eartli was hero
and seeds invisible were sown by singing
winds on barren rocks, where there was
no one to watch their growth, or appre-
ciate their beauty. In the order of their
creatinn. the lichens sonn ajijieared, furn-
ished with a must coiuiiletc chendcnl ap-
p,iratus to <lisintegr.'iti' the granite and
trap. They did their work patiently and
well; slowly, but surely the surface of the
granite became an impalpable powder
which.enriched by the bodies of the lichens,
formed a home for the mosses, the next
step in the i>rder of creative energy; or,
as the modern scientist asserts, "the flrst
connecting link in the chain of evolutiim
that marks the various stages of plant
development."
" The second germ had in it the possi-
bility of the rock moss, nothing more,
but with it came the command to grow
— to grow — that the earth might be
richer, thr')ugh its life and work. Nature,
while a kind and indulgent mother, isla
strict disciplinarian, a rigid economist.
Her commands must be respected, before
favors are awarded. And here let me say
when I use the word Nature, let it be dis-
tinctly understood as defined byCowper:
" Nature is but the name for an effect,
whose cause is God.
Not a flower
But shows some touch in freckle, streak
or strain of His unrivaled pencil.
He inspires their balmy odors, and im-
parts their hues,
■\nd bathes their eyes with nectar, and
includes
In grains as countless as the seaside
sands
The forms with whicli he sprinkles all
the earth."
True to the order of their creation, the
mouses grew upon the decay of ftjrmer
creations, an<l in tiH'U became the fooil
of the ferns which in rd)edieuce to com-
mand, to grow — to grow — that the earth
might be richer because of their life and
inheritance, which was food for the grass-
es, which followed and waved their silken
tassels, bidding the shrubs appear and
partake of their decaying forms. In them
was tlie instinctive command to grow^
to grow. The forests followed witli their
great brown arinsand leat.v fingers, bear-
ing fi'uits, each after its own kin<l,for the
sustenance of theanimal forms that were
in good time to fill the places alloted in
the order of creation. .\nd when the
turf rippled into waves of green anil golil,
Man the master of the wild appeared,
breaking the silence of the desert, and
singing the story of the ages.
Created energ.v seemed exhausted by
the throes that brought forth the flora
and fauna of the wiuid.and the idea that
rest followed these great happenings, was
but a natural on. Man. who cannot
imagine acreation greater than the high-
est development of hisownorder of being,
or of environments superior to his own,
would very naturally suppose the build-
ing of a world would be a tiresome task,
and rest must inevitably follow.
No so, however, for creation, is as ac-
tive to-day .as at any time during the
earth's liistory. We cannot fully under-
stand or appreciate creatiiui until we
look into, instead of ujion wimt has been
created. We have no idea <if the jilant's
beauty by simply looking at its flowers.
The soul of beauty in the plant is the
active principle of plant life. The outer
lU' visible life of the plant, shows the
workings of the life within. Every crea-
tion susceptible of growth and develop-
ment has a soul as well as a body, and
while there is food provided for the body,
there is beauty provided for the soul.
There is notliing more pleasing to the eye
than a field of corn or wheat. We admire
because the grain nourishes, but we love
the lields of waving green and gold, be-
cause of tlu'ir beauty. We do luit value
the fiiiits of the earth so much f nun the
fact that they .sustain life, as we do their
inner life that prompts them to grow for
us.
The plant is not beautiful because it
sustains hfe so much as because it is a
life, or rather a part of the great princi-
ple we call life. lafe is a unit, each indi-
vidual is but a part of the great principle.
No onc> form is independent of another.
Neither could subsist alone, each was
made for the other. As Pope beatitifidly
expressed it; •' All are but parts of one
unbounded whole, whose body Nature is,
and Goil the sotd."
Man boasts superiority of creation:
yet hecould not live a day without many
forms, both animal aiul plant, that he
ruthlessly tramples under foot. He de-
spises flies and niosi|Uitoes,yet they were
sent to bless rather than to bore. The
fly is the constant attendant of man; it
follows him wherever he goes, anil is
never found in uniidiabited places. The
same is true with the garden plantain;
its life is attendant upon human life, and
it is eur.sed tor tilling its mission in the
economy of nature.
Nature is double all 1 hrough ; body and
soul, matter and spirit, as if the I'niverse
were a marriage of the two elenu'iits. Iii
just proportion to the fields fertility,
is ad<led lieauty in tint, in form, and color.
To the soil.theproseof the earth, is given
the flower whose beauty of tint, color,
form and fnigrance, would have existed
In vain were therenoother scuds to make
common cause with its lite and history.
To man, theprose of the earth, was given
woman, its poetry.

Rose Bud-Worms and Leaf-Tyers.
Among tlie many Insect pests which the
florist has to combat in the cultivation
of roses grown under glass are several
small species of bud-worms and leaf-
tyers, the larvo" of moths of the family
Tortricidse. Of these some of the most
important will be considered.
The Rose Bud-Worm.
(Penthina nimbatana Clem. )
KECENT IN.IURY.
During the past Summer the attention
of the writer was called to the work of
the larva of Penthina nimbatana riem.
on hothouse roses through Messrs. Erwin
F. Smith and P. H. Dorsett, of this De-
partment, .luly 8 word was first received
of injuries to roses in the greenhouses be-
longing to Mr. Alexander Garden at An-
costia, D. ('. The insect was in the larval
cou<lition when received, .Tul.v 11, and re-
mained so, feeding until .luly 13, when
one or two showed signs of approaching
transformation. The roses were being
injured by the work of the larva on the
foliage, buds and flowers, the buds espe-
cially suffering.
Rose appears to be the only known
food plant of this larva, and heretofore,
it appears, it has never been recorded as
attacking an.v portion of the plant other
than the leaves. In our Divisional notes,
however, there is a record of the rearing
of the moth, December 22, 1896, from
larvse found December 15 folding leaves
and injuring buds of roses in a hothouse
in the District.
PUBLISHED RECOEDS.
The first record that the writer finds of
the food habits of this species was pub-
lished in 1881, a note by Mr. 1). W.
( 'o(|uillett of four hues, descriptive of the
larva and its food plant, wild rose, Rosa-
lilanda (Tenth Rept. State Entom. 111.,
1881, p. 153). Mr. C. H. Fernahl in his
Catalogue of the Torticidie of North
.\merica, published in May of the follow-
ing year (Trans. Amer. Ent. Soc, Vol.X,
p. 31 ), mentions rose as a food plant. In
the same year, 1882, Mr. Coquillett, in
comparing the larva of this species with
that of ('acci'cia rosaceana Har. (11th
llept. State Entom. of 111., p. 12), states
that the.v are utterl.v indistinguishable
from each other in certain individuals,
and makes the further remark that nim-
batana was reared b.y him only from
Rosa blanda. "It binds three or more of
the terminal leaflets together for a habi-
tation, and there appears to be only one
brood produced in one season."
The next year the same writer gives a
brief description of the larva in Papilio
(Vol. Ill p. 101). Larvjr " were taken the
first week in .lune; they pupated a few
days later, and the imagos issued .Tune
20'and 21."
During the same year the late Dr. .1. A.
Lintner published a note on injuries by
this species to rose plants in greenhouses
(Count. Gent.Mar. 1,1883, p. 169). This
note was in response to inquiry from a.
correspondent, " D. .1. G.," Scarsdale,
Westchester County, N. Y., dated Febru-
ar.v 7, of that .year.
in his Fourth Report as Entomologist
of the State of New York (1888, pp. 213-
215), Dr. IJntner gives a more extended
account of this species, with illustrations
of the moth.
DESCRIPTION AND DISTRIBUTION.
The parent insect is a small moth of the
family Tortricida^. It is shown in the
accompan.ving illustration (fig. 1, a).
The general color is brownish gray, the
outer portion of the fore-wings and the
under surface of the hind-wings being
lightest. The inner portion of the fore-
wings is dark brown in color, mouled
with white, black, and light purple spots,
the prevailing pattern being about as in-
dicated in the figure. The wing expanse
is about five-eighths of an inch (iferam),
and the length of the body is about half
as long.
This species has a rather wide distribu-
tion, as the following list of localities,
based for the most part on outdoor occur-
rences, shows:
Maine; Massachusetts; Albany, Scars-
dale and elsewhere in New York; Penn-
sylvania; District of Columbia; Wood-
stock and elsewhere in Illinois; Wisconsin.
THE LARVA AND PUPA.
The earliest stages ol this species do
not appear to have been studied. The
full grown larva is shown at b of figure
1. The head and cervical shield are shin-
ing dark blackish brown, verging to
black in the outer portions, the three
pairs of forelegs and two lateral marks
on the first thoracic segment are dull
black. The remainder of the body is
rather bright, clear apple green in color,
which means that the spiracles, except
on the first thoracic segment, the piliferous
w arts, and the anal plate are all concol-
orous. The length of the mature larva
when fully extended is a little less than
five-eighths of an inch (14-15™™).
.\t fl and fl of the illustration the pupa
Is shown, c representing the empt.v chr.ys-
alis skin after the escape of the larva,
and d showing the character of the anal
segment. The length is nearly three-
eighths of an inch (8"™), and the color is
light brown.
At p of the figure the manner of work
of the larva on an unopened rosebud is
illustrated, and at f two leaves are fig-
ured as folded b.y the larva. The leaves
of the rose are joined together after the
manner of the larviE of this group of in-
sects by silken threads and the larva
lives within the case thus made, feeding
upon the leaves of which it is composed,
and later leaving it to attack others.
LITE HISTORY.
The life economy of this rose pest has
not been fully investigated. The parent
moth, according to Lintner, who has
observed the species in New York State,
and from whose writings (1. c.) the fol-
glass at least, in a climate like that o'
the District of Columbia.
As the name of rose leaf-tyer is pre-
occupied by I'enthina cyanana, which
will presently receive mention, rose bud-
worm is proposed as a suitable appella-
tion for this insect.
A PARASITIC ENE.MV.
One larva received from Anacostia was
seen to be parasitized, the parasites being
noticed in the larval condition from July
11 to 13. The adult jjarasites began to
issue .Tuly 1.5 and were identified by Mr.
.\shmead as Eulophus cyriades Walk., a
Chalcidid fly.
REMEDIES.
'i'his species is amenable to the same
remedies as the greenhouse leaf-tyer, con-
sidered in the initial article of this bulletin.
The presence of the caterpillars on roses
is so obvious as to be easily detected, and
all that is necessary in man.v cases when
the.v are found in the leaves is to crush
them between the thumb and forefinger.
If the greenhouse is not fumigated the
only remedy after the caterpillars have
attacked the buds is to cut off the buds
and burn them, or destroy them by crush-
ing under foot.

lowing account of the life history is in the
main compiled, appears in ordinary sea-
sons In the vicinity of Albany about the
middle of April. Its eggs are laid at
night and presumably on the terminal
leaves of rose bushes when they are push-
ing out from the buds. The caterpillar
or larva, after hatching, begins by bind-
ing together the margins or surfaces of a
folded leaf. With an increase of size the
leaf, partly eaten and opened out by its
rapid growth, is abandoned for another,
or the larva selects two contiguous
leaves and fastens them together. This
habitation in turn, with the more ad-
vanced growth of the creature, is deserted
for still more ample (|uarters, which it
finds among several of the terminal leaves
or in the unopened buds, as has been
shown by recent observation in the Dis-
tirct of Columbia.
Larval growth is rapid and at each
successive molt the papillie or piliferous
warts and the hairs proceeding from
them become more conspicuous. By the
end of May the larvn? have attained full
maturity, cease feeding, and are then be-
lieved to drop to the ground to undergo
their final transformations among the
dead leaves. The reason for this belief is
that the pups' have never been found
among the folded or fastened leaves on
the rose bushes.
The period of pupation is about nine or
ten days. The moth of the first genera-
tion has been observed abroad at Albany
as early as June 2. Eggs are laid for a
second generation and the new opera-
tions of the caterpillars are soon to be seen
and are extended into July. Dr. Lintner
expresses the opinion that there is possi-
bly a second generation, since the trans-
formation among insects of this class are
quite rapid and several generations are
of common occurrence in many species.
The latest date recorded near Albany was
July 25.
The fact of our rearing this insect to
the adult from larvae taken in December
would seem to indicate that there may
be three, or perhaps even four, distinct
I generations developed each year, under
Owing to the concealed manner of life
of the larva it is doubtful it insecticides
would be of much value when the insect
is found on roses in gardens, hence hand
methods must be resorted to.
The larviE of a number of other moths,
mostly Tortricidre, attack roses in much
the same manner as the rose bud-worm.
Some of the best known of these may be
briefly mentioned.
THE ROSE LEAF-TYER.
(Penthina cyanana Murtf.)
A species closely related to Penthina
nimbatana is P. cyanana, which was de-
scribed by Miss Murtfeldt in 1880 (Amer.
Ent ,Yol. Ill, pp. 11—15). The habits of
this species do not appear to differ mate-
rially from those of P. nimbatana. It is
more abundant on roses growing in the
open, but according to Mr. G. C. Davis it
also attacks roses in greenhouses. Of its
injuriesat Kirkwood,Mo.,Miss Murtfeldt
wrote that it was oeca8ionall.y so abun-
dant as to devour or mar fully 20 per
cent, of the rosebuds, especially of white
or light-colored varieties.
Among the notebook records of the Di-
vision of Entomology this is stated to
have been found by the late Dr. Rile.v in
injurious numbers on his roses at Wash-
ington during the Summer of 1879. .Tuly
6 of the next year he received rosebuds
containing larvte, which were reared to
the adult, from Mr. Henry Plumb, Pleas-
anton, Kans.
This species was found at work on
roses at Alexandria, Va., by Mr. T. A.
Keleher, of this office, in July, the imago
issuing in the middle of that month.
The recorded distribution of this spe-
cies comprises portions of the states of
Missouri, Kansas, Pennsylvania and
Michigan, and to this list may be added
the District of Columbia.
As in manner of life all these rose pests
are similar, the remedies to be applied are
the same.
THE OBLIQUE-BANDED LEAF-ROLLER.
(Cactecia rosaceana Harr. )
One oJ the most important of the le^i-
roUers, from the economic point of view,
if we consider its injuries to all Its food
plants, is Caccecia rosaceana. This is a
well-known enem.v of all sorts of fruit
crops of the family Itosacefe, as well as of
several other orders, and is treated in
most popular works on agricultural
entomology.
Specimens of pups and adults of this
species were received from Mr. S. S. Wil-
son, Libonia, Pa., with the statement
made in an accompanying letter dated
May 3, 1898, that it was received by him
in a shipment of roses from a firm in
Ohio, and that, on examining the roses,
larva; and chrysalides were found, and
many of the leaves of the plants were
eaten away.
A ROSE LEAF-FOLDER.
(Cactt'cia rosana Linn.)
This is an introduced species which at-
tacks roses, but is not, so far as the
writer is aware, particularly trouble-
some, at least in greenhouses. It is very
likely to become injurious, however, at
any time. It is figured and described as
an enem.v of currants by Messrs. Com-
stock and SUngerland (Bui. XXIII, Cor-
nell Univ. Expt. Sta., pp. 119—121), and
has been stated by Dr. Lugger to attack
also theapple, wild rose, raspberry, hazel,
hawthorn, and gooseberry (Fourth Annl.
Rept. Entom. State Expt. Sta. Univ.
Minn., 1899, p. 228).
OTHER LEAF-ROLLEES.
A short notice of injuries by the fruit-
tree leaf-roller, Caccia argyrospila Walk.,
to the buds of roses In greenhouses was
published in Insect Life (Vol. Ill, p. 19).
To this list must still be added, as a
species that are known to attack roses,
and are hence likely at any time to in-
vade the greenhouse and assume the bud-
destroying habit, several other Tortri-
cides, among which may be mentioned
the grape-berry moth, Eudemis botrana
Schiff, Platynota flavedana Clem., Tor-
trix albicom'anaClem., Cenopsis pettitana
Rob., and reticulatana Clem., as also
Lophoderus triferana Walk., elsewhere
noted as a violet insect.

Greenfield, Mass. — E. B. Reals of the
Sunny Dell greenhouses is to go to Spring-

local greenhouses, and has bought the
Eastern Avenue greenhouses in Spring-
field, and takes possession July 1. Mr.
Beals went to Greenfield when 16 years
old, and with the exception of three
years' absence has made his home there
since. He has had a varied career. He
was in the express office and bookstore
of Lewis Merrlam. Then he became a
clerk in the post-office, w here he remained
two and one-halt years, and afterward
wentto the Springfield post-office. Later
he secured a position as a postal route
agent, running from Springfield to New-
port, Vt. After returning to Greenfield
he was Buccessively in the laundry and
the news business, and for the last 20
years has been a florist. He first ran
two greenhouses on High street. Eleven
years ago the Sunny Dell greenhouses
were built by F. O. Wells, and Mr. Beals
has rented the place since that time. His
new location gives him eight connecting
greenhouses 70 feet long.

that they advertised the sale of holly,

they could fill; the charge proved a bub-

grave a charge.— Every Evening, Wil-

The market.
Market and other news are al-
most as scarce this week as the pro-
verbial hen's teeth. Summer dullness
has set in with a vengeance, and that,
together with sweltering atmospheric
conditions, has knocked the bottom out
ut the flower trade. Beyond a slight
spurt in the early morning hours, the
wholesale stores are as quiet as a rural
churchyard, and the greatest endeavor
put forth seems to be that o£ trying
to keep cool.
A fair proportion of good stock is
available, but there is a very large
quantity of mildewed n:iaterial that
has very little value. Kaiserin Au-
gusta Victoria, Mme. Caroline Testout
and Liberty are among the best roses
coming in, the quality of tlie latter va-
riety seeming to have revived with the
arrival of warn^ weather. An improve-
ment in the quality of American
Beauty has also been noticed since the
departure of those cloudy days recent-
ly experienced. Specials of the latter
range from 10c. to 20c., th number at
the higher price being limited. Some
good Bride and Bridesmaid were also
to be seen; a few specials of these
brought as high as 6c., other grades
of good quality realizing from 2c. to
3c., and straight slips have sold as low
as 50c. for ordinary stock.
General Jacqueminot from outside is
arriving in quantity, and is soon ex-
pected to ))e in over-supply.
Carnations do not seem to be in de-
mand. I,arse quantities are on hand,
and the price realized has been froni
$3.50 up per thousand. Even fancies
have not gone beyond $5 and $6 a thou-
sand.
Pfeonies are away in excess of the
demand, bringing Ic. to 3c., and a very
limited number 4c.
Cattleyas are bringing from 25c. to
40c., some C. gigas being quoted as
high as 50c.
Sweet peas are coming in in some-
what better shape, and lilies are sell-
ing slowly at Ic. to 3c. Lily of the
valley has been going pretty well at
about 3c. Smilax, in moderate supply,
cleans out fairly well at from $8 to $15.
maidenhair fern is plentiful at 50c.
per 100.
The June weddings so far have not
influenced the cut flower market, the
decorations being, to a large extent,
executed in flowering shrubs and other
out of door material.
Here and There.
The Florists' Club's outing to
Locust Point, on July 8, and the forth-
coming S. A. P. O. H. Convention at
Buffalo are absorbing themes of con-
versation these days. It is expected
that each of these affairs will be graced
by a large attendance. With respect
to the latter, inquiries as to hotels, rail-
road rates, etc., are already being
made. Full information is given in
our report of Monday's club meeting
on another page of this issue.
The time was when it was the cus-
tom among both wholesale and retail
men to close up their stores during the
dull months of summer. Changed con-
ditions prevent this being done now-
adays, although it is currently reported
that one of the latest additions to the
uptown district is seriously considering
the advisability of doing so, while its
principal patrons are out of the city.
Mr. and Mrs. Pred'k W. Kelsey will
leave on the North German Lloyd
steamer Trave, foot of Congress street,
Brooklyn, to-day, June 15, for a three-
months' trip abroad, returning about
September 20. They will visit Italy,
Switzerland, Holland, Germany, Bel-
gium and England. The trip is taken
for health and recreation, with a little
business combined.
George T. Powell, of the Briarcliff
School of Practical Horticulture, de-
livered an address on strawberries be-
fore the Horticultural Society of New
York at Bronx Park Wednesday last.
Dailledouze Bros., Flatbush, are
building two more greenhouses. Car-
nation stock here is in fine shape.
Theodore Eckardt, formerly of Balti-
more, left New York Saturday last for
San Francisco, en route to Yokohama,
Japan, whither he goes to accept
a position in the extensive nurseries of
Louis Boehmer. Mr. Eckardt will
make a special study there of the lily.
J. K. Allen expects to have his sum-
mer garden showing its wonted beauty
soon. Pressure of business to date
has prevented earlier attention to this
delightful and refreshing adjunct to
J. K.'s establishment.
Tliirtieth street is evidently consid-
ered an excellent location for a whole-
sale stand. It is rumored another
party has his eye on this street when-
ever a suitable store is available.
John Scott, of the Keap Street Green-
houses, is rejoicing over the advent of a
son. Mother and baby are doing; nicely
and John is all smiles these days.
Carl Jurgens, Sr., of Newport, and
Wm. Patterson Craig, of Philadelphia,
were among this week's visitors.
Alfred Dimmock sails for England
to-day, after, as usual, a successful so-
journ in the States.
Treasurer Weathered, of the N. T.

A. L. Don, of Weeber & Don, attended
the Seedsmen's Convention in Kochester,
this week.
P. Ouwerkerk, Jersey City, will sail for

Anctlon Sales.
The plantauctioneershave had oneof
the busiest seasons in their individual
careers. Thewet weatherhas prolonged
the sending In of consignments and it is
probable that three or more sales will
yet be held. Both Messrs Elliott and
Cleary look as if they would welcome a
vacation after their arduous labors.
Last Tuesday very satisfactory sales of
flowering stock were held. Cleary & Co,
had also a large lot of palms, and their
sale extended until six o'clock in the
evening. Next Tuesday, June 18, this
firm will have an orchid sale.
Philadelphia.
The W< athc r Changes.
At last the cry about so much cold
weather has ceased. On Wednesday last
the thermometer went up to 9.5 degrees
in the shade, and with the high tem-
perature business went down. There is
but little going on. Flowers are now
depreciating in quality every day. The
stores are flooded with out-door stock,
so that trade is in bad shape. Carna-
tions, fresh stock, are going to the street
men at from $2 to $3 per 1,000.
Pieonies have proved a great disap-
pointment this season. A few early ones
sold well, but ,f2 per 100 was about all
the majority brought; on Saturday last
pajonies were sold at $1 per 100.
A few stores have been doing work for
weddings in the suburbs, but as there is
so muchout-doorstock within easy reach
the orders were small. Thegraduations
of various colleges and schools, whilenot
bringing much cut-flower work, have
furnished quite a lot of decorating. The
Southern Industrial Convention holding
this week has also created a quantity of
work in the decorating line.
David Rust.
Toronto.
The weather has improved some-
what during the last few days, but is still
somewhat cold and unsettled. A con-
siderable amount of planting has been
done, butcoleusand other tender subjects
have suffered from the wind and cold rain.
Geraniums in bloom are still in good de-
mand. Annuals in boxes are selling some-
what slowly in spite of the exceedingly
low prices.
St. Lawrence market is crowded with
stock. A great many of the dealers have
had a very poor season, so much of their
stock having been spoiled by the bad
weather.
The demand for cut flowers has been
good, with a plentiful supply. Roses and
carnations are moving along nicely.
Pfeonies are now coming in and sell well.
There has been more thantheusual num-
ber of wedding decorations and some of
them have been quite lavish in the use of
material.
Dunlop's popular manager, Harry Dille-
meuth, was married Wednesday, June 5.
The wedding was very quiet, and but
few of the boys knew anything about it
until after the couple had departed on
their wedding trip. Harry is back to
the store again, and all wish him and his
wife a long and happy life. T. M.
Montreal.
Trade Notes.
Trade still continues to be satis-
factory. Thedemand for cutflowers has
been very fair in all lines. The local
supply of carnations, although not very
large, is of excellent quality and very
few go to waste. The demand occasioned
by the June weddings is well up to the
average.
In the plant line, outside of bedding
stock, very little is doing, but thedemand
in this line has been excellent and prices
(or good stock have held firm. First-
class geraniums in -t-inch pots are re-
ported to be very scarce, and from
present indications very little of any-
thing will be left over. George Hipton
reports a gratifying increase in his trade
in window boxes this year.
Young carnation plants in the field are
now thoroughly established and looking
better than at this time for several years
I)ast. Although favorable to carnations,
the weather has been altogether too
damp and cold for more tender subjects,
which have made but little progress.
Club News.
The meeting Monday night was, as
usual at this season, very poorly at-
tended. The promised paper did not
materialize, but the question box proved
an excellent substitute. The chrysan-
themum show committee reported pro-
gress. The president presented the
secretary, W. Horobin, with a
silk umbrella, the first prize in
the Winter game series, the convener
of the games committee, T. Martell,
taking the second, a silver mounted
pipe. The picnic committee reported in
favor of Isle Gros Bois on July 18, but
after discussion the matter was left over
until the Gith for further incjuiry, as
several members were of the opinion that
very reasonable terms could be obtained
for a trip on the s, s. " Sovereign " to the
historic home of the Monks of Oka.
At next meeting John Walsh will give
a review of his trip to the Pan-American
Exhibition, where he will spend the next
two weeks, being unable to get away
with the convention party.
Society Ittms.
The Montreal Horticultural Societ.v
will hold a rose and pansy show on the
grounds of Mrs. J. H. R. Molson on
Saturday afternoon, June 22.
The interest in the I.achine Horticul-
tural Society is still sustained. Secre-
tary-treasurer C. A. Smith reports the
paid membership already equal to the
last year's, and the money to defray the
entire cost of the year's working, in-
cluding the Fall show, is in the bank. B'
Ottawa.
Trade Items.
We have had a very cold and wet
Spring, no sun for two weeks and even
up to June 1 the thermometer has been
close around the40mark. But inspiteof
wet and cold weather the Spring bedding
trade is over. The demand for bedding
plants has been away ahead of that of
former years, and in spite of a very large
stock there wasabig shortage, especiall.v
in scarlet geraniums. The call for these
has been enormous, and thousands more
of good ■i-inch plants could have been
handled. On application to a wholesale
man out of town for them early in the
season he wrote; "Sold out; Canada a
million geraniums short." The crinkled
leaf has had something to do with it, as
one grower here lost over 1,000 by that
trouble. The con tinned wet weather also
kept the small stock back; but in spite
of drawbacks the sales all round have
been most satisfactory. There was a
decided increase in the demand for ver-
anda boxes. Cannas and caladiums
came next to geraniums in favor.
The cut flower trade has been very
good for the season, and the supply also
good. Graham Bros, in carnations and
Scrim in roses are cutting A 1 stock.
The next serious matters to think
about are conventions and the Pan
American. E.
Denver.
Cards are out announcing the mar-
riage, on June 4, of Philip Scott and
Miss Irene Simpkins. Philip came here
from his father's place in Buffalo
something more than a year ago to
take charge of the store of the
Park Floral Company. Miss Simpkins
had then been with the same concern
nearly five years. White Philip is
widely known by reason of his skill as
a liowlei". he has much more substan-
tial claims on the respect of his fellow-
craftsmen. Since coming to Denver he
has demonstrated his ability as a store
man. and has been so steady and faith-
ful that Mr. Valentine has been able
to leave the city for long trips with
perfect confidence that everything
would run smoothly. The only thing
he has against Philip is that he has
robbed him of so valuable an employee.
She was zealous in her work, and it
I will be hard to make good the loss of
her tasty touch or her charming per-
sonality. The wedding was a quiet but
enjoyable affair. Ben Boldt, the fore-
man, had been given carte blanche in
the matter of decorations, and the re-
sult was all tliat could be desired.
With some of his father's adiantum.
Billy Crowe tackled tlie bouquets, and
showed us "how we do these things in
L^tica." There was a feeling among
the employees that they wen^ all di-
rectly concerned in the success of the
affair, and their earnest wishes for the
future of the young couple were rein-
forced by numerous and valuable pres-
ents. These were mostly of a kind that
will be put to immediate use, as after
the ceremony Philip and his bride
drove to their future lionie on Irving
Street, where they will keep house in
a modest way. Tliey start out with
the best wishes of a host of friends.

Committee reported that the schedule for
the Fall show was in the hands of the
secretary, and would be priuted iu a few
days. Charles E. Nossiter was elected to

cy on the executive committee.
The next regular meeting will be held
June 20, instead of .June 27, iu connection
with which will be a rose and strawberry

Plant trade has been quite up to ex-
pectations among the plantsmeu here
this year. There was no unlooked for
demand for any one thing; everything
went with a steady swing after the
season had started, which was rather
late. Memorial Day trade was a rusher,
the principal demand being tor the
scarcest article — vlzl; carnations.

he has ever had in his line.

Buffalo.
The Market,
A noticeable harbinger of tlie close
approach of Summer temperature is the
now present California poppies, the which
in their vivid warm, brilliant red, and
large silken textured petals, nothing ex-
cels for window displays. Otherwise
Hhowy blooms are somewhat scarce,
roses being now smaller and hardly plen-
tiful, with carnations seemingly scarce-
I 'aimer & Son are just now having a cut
of nice longifiorum lilies, which help out
nicely.
.\ bit of small sized orders are on in
weddings and attendant occasions, that
help to give life to trade.
S. A. Anderson reports thatlast month
was quite ahead for May, with him.
It is actually impossible to avoid what
might be termed Pan-American absorp-
tion, and Buffalo, as a whole, is now
rapidly, and she tries to believe happily
also, becoming pervaded b.v such condi-
tions. The long back features of wet
and cold atmospheres, and an exhibition
lacking a finished-up appearance, have
given way to warmer and pleasant
weather, and the pleased faces of many
.'strangers coming and going. An every-
day attendance of above 2,000 admis-
sions is noted, and expressions of approval
are heard everywhere by the visitors.
Truly, as alittle'side affair, this Summer's
S. A. F. convention attendants have an
alluring prospect.
Capt. James Braik, assistant superin-
tendent of Delaware Park, has the plant-
ing of the many beds scattered about the
squares and parks of the city well under
progress. He is at the head of our bowl-
ers, locally, and which diversion must
next receive his earnest attention, as,
even at home, Buffalo will consider some
honors in this line as becoming due this
new centennial year.
The Nurserymen's Association is in ses-
sion at Niagara Falls this week. .T. Aus-
tin Shaw, with Mrs. Shaw, has been with
us for some days. H. B. Howard, of the
American Florist, Chicago, accompanied
hy Mrs. Howard, are sightseers at the
Exposition; also Fred Vick, of Vick &
Hill Co., Rochester. Viw.

W»ather Report.
Business conditions remain un-
changed, the city trade being rather light,
while the wholesalers find a fair call from
out of town florists. Flowers of all
kinds are coming along very fast, but are
moving slowly, and prices are away
down. In roses it is found that the me-
dium and smaller grades sell better than
do the No. 1 and extra. American
Beauty hold out pretty well, but Bride
and Bridesmaid are getting small and
thin, the latter losing their color some-
what, too. Kaiserin Augusta Victoria
are of much better quality than Bride as
a rule, and more in demand when first-
class roses are wanted.
Carnations continue decidedly in excess
of the demand, and prices are even lower
thai last quoted. Good No. 1 flowers
are selling at 75c. per 100, with some
very fair ones at 35c.to .!iOc. per 100;
while quantities have to be disposed of
at 25c. in order to move them. Of course,
fancy varieties do slightl.v better — $1 to
$1.50 being realized for this stock.
Lilies are still plentiful and sell slowly
at $i and $5 per 100. Lily of the valley
is not so abundant as it has been for
three or four weeks past, but the supply
is sufficient to meet all demands; $2 per
100 is realized for first quality, frame-
grown stock, though much of it is sold at
$1 and $1.50 per 100. Sweet peas are
more plentiful, the first of the out-door
stock now coming in, which latter is
good in color. Gladiolus is in fair supply,
but meets with only light demand, at $4
to $5 per 100. The first of the pseonies
have been lirought in, but they do not
move very fast.
The NewB.
The jingle of wedding bells may
almost be heard at the Flower Market
the e mornings. .John Clark, foreman
tor Chas. Evans, of Watertown, and
Michael Shea, witli Fred Becker, of Cam-
bridge, each took to himself a wife on
Wednesday, .June 12, while not less than
four others, in daily attendance at the
Market, are receiving congratulations on
their approaching marriages. Let the
good work continue.
Edmund M. Wood has now sufficiently
recovered to allow of his coming Into
town, where his appearane is a source of
great pleasure to his many friends.
•John S. Richards, " Dncle Dick," of
Brookline, Mass., celebrated his 90th
birthday, June 10.
The Exhibition at Hortlcaltnral Hall.
So well was the show at the new Hor-
ticultural Hall patronized last week,
that those in charge decided to continue
it for four days, in order to give all an
opportunity of visiting one of the finest
exhibitions ever staged; and from the
attendance the last few days of an ap-
preciative public, the managers have rea-
son to be satisfied that their decision was
a wise one. The convention of the Y. M.
C. A., delegates, now holding in Boston,
no doubt greatly swelled the receipts;
and the attendance of school children, for
whom a special rate of 10c. admission
was established, was a gratifying sur-
prise.
Several changes in the exhibits were
made, when it was decided to continue
the show, as some of the plants, which
were at their best last week, showed
signs of fatigue by Sunday. The collec-
tion of wistarias was removed and the
Rhyncospermum jasmlnoides, which were
in the "loggia" last week, replaced them
in the lecture hall, while for the latter
were substituted several fine specimen
bay trees. Several of the pelargoniums
in this room were replaced by fresh
plants, as were some of the azaleas in the
main hall, so that the show this week
was about as fine as that with which the
hall opened on the evening of the 3rd.
In the orchid room, quite an addition
to the already fine collection was made,
in the shape of a very fine plant of Den-
drobium thyrsiflorum, from Mrs. F. L.
Ames' conservatories at North Easton.
During Sunday and continuing this
week, 25c. admission only was charged
in the evening, the 50c. admission hold-
ing good during the day. F. J. N.

Trade Notes.
Since Memorial Day we have
had more stock than could be disposed
of to good advantage. Consequently
much has gone to waste. The cold
weather we have been having has
passed, and the thermometer is stand-
ing to-day, June 11, at 77 in the shade;
but this is the first warm spell we have
had.
The News.
Saturday evening last the Cin-
cinnati Florists' Society held its meet-
ing and elected a board of directors
consisting of five members as follows:
Albert Sunderbruch, Frank Ball, Ben
George, Gus Adrian and Henry
Schwarz. Mr. Sunderbruch was elected
president. Adrian vice-president. Ball
secretary and George treasurer.
J. A. Peterson has just closed a two
days' auction sale at his store, and the
sale resulted very satisfactorily. He
has now moved out to his greenhouses
at Westwood. Miss Critcheli, who has
been with him since Easter, has also
gone out to Westwood, where she will
look after Mr. Peterson's retail orders.
Business in general is now very quiet,
having taken a sudden drop; but the
season of rest is fast approaching, and
we shall have to begin getting in our
outstanding debts in order to attend the
summer outing at Buffalo, which, I
understand, is the "greatest show on
earth." The commencement season in
this city this year has cut very little
figure with the florist. Too many out-
door flowers are around.

state of Trade— Anuth* r Story.
We lijive t^onc from on*.' oxtrenic to
the other. MoiiiIn.y, as I last wrote,
showed some siRiis of the com in;;' trou-
ble, but conditions from Tuesday on
through tlie weeli heggar description.
The somewhat warmer weather was re-
sponsible for the tremendous receipts of
everything — roses, carnations, pjeonios,
Texas gardenias, shrubs and hardy
plantsgenerally.anil all this with a rather
light home demand, although shipping-
trade still keeps up good. The price of
carnations lias dropped to 40c. and .^Oc,
with no clearance at these figures. !'«■(]-
nies even came in fi-om far distant .Ne-
braska. The home crop is just showing
up. There is an effort made, as usual, to
check the down ward tendency of values on
these by placing in cold storage a part
of the supply for later use.
The extreme low jjrices <jf the week arc
apt to shorten supplies somewhat, but
figures will hardly advance, at this late
date, and witli the (piantity of stock in
sight, above $."> and $f! for very fancy
tea roses, down to $1 and $2: while car-
nations, if very good, may go to $:i.
Standards bring T-'jc. to fl..^O, with

.\ very few fancy I.itierty are worth as
much as American Beauty. Tlie Mar-

Some good gladiolus are in, and splen-

We had the thermometer down as low

Club Doings.
The .June meeting was held on the
7th. John Lambros and Dennis Keuna
were elected to membership. There being-
no regular work before th club, general
discussion on sundry topics was pretty
freely indulged in. Tlie Clommittee on
ricnicB reported and recommended a pic-
nic be held at Reissig's Grove, Riverside,
some time in .July. The club liy resolu-
tion so ordered this, leaving it to the
committee to designate a time, and t<i
report at next meeting, .June 21, whicli
will be the last regular meeting before
the .Summer vacation of two months.
John Hoeft, of Park Ridge, b ought up
the suljjectof the Hoard of Kdncation for-
bidding the presentation of flowers to the
school graduates at the annual com-
mencements. This subject is a livel.T one
among florists of all classes, and the
action of the Board is generally consid-
ered a questionable one, and likely to
affect seriousl.v something that has
heretofore Jieen of great importance to
the trade. After considerable discussion
it was decided that no action could be
taken by the club at this late day that
would be effective: but it behooves the
members to formulate some method so
as to make their case felt another year.
A list of delinquent members was read
and laid over for two weeks for actif)n.
The Committee on Arrangements for the
trip to Buffalo, in .\ugust,hope tf) repoi-t
at ne.Kt meeting something tangible in
regard to what they are doing.
Among: the Growers.
Joseph F. Klimmer, of Oak I'ark,
in carnations, calls The Maniuis. Gene-
vieve Lord, Kstelle and Morning Glory
his " big tour." He grows (piite a batch
of each and knows they just suit his soil.
The Marquis has been in flower since Sep-
tember 1. America and G. II. Crane he
finds good Summer bloomers, and for
white he grows Flora Flill. Afrs. James
Dean, once thonglit well of, has to go.
He claims Ethel Crocker is of no use to
him. I'^ir a grower with only 10, ()()() feet
of glass, Mr. Klimmer is always ready to
try new varieties. This year Queen
Jjouise, Norway, I-orna., Ibjosier Mai<l,
Golden Beaut.v and I'rosperity are the
novelties on trial. He finds .lean Viaud
geranium an excellent pink. Mr. Klim-
mer has a good deal of cemetery work,
hence devotes much of his space to bed-
ding plants. He is president of the Board
of Trustees of the village. The election
this Spring was a fight between florists

New York.— J. Chas. McCuIlough, of
Cincinnati, accompanied by his son Trim-
ble, left Wednesday on the St. Paul on a
trip to Europe. They will visit France,
Holland, Germany, England and Scot-
land, for recreation and a little business
combined. Trimble McCuIlough, who has
completed his school education, will now
be associated with his father in the seed
trade, 'The latter is recovering from a
severe attack of peritonitis, and is look-
ing forward to receiving much benefit in
his health from the voyage.
Louis Goeppinger, representing I'ei-
gnaux & H. Lorin, successors to Andr6
Leroy & Cie., of Angers, France, arrived
on his annual tour, Tuesday night last.
He speaks of a scarcity of vegetable seed
crops abroad, particularly radish, and
predicts that high prices will rule.
Howard M. Earl, of W. Atlee Burpee &
Co., I'hiladelphia, was a visitor this week.
European Notes.
Beyond a passing shower the drought
still persists, accompanied with heat, and
at present there are no Indications of a
change. It will be easy for .vour readers
to understand that the strong plants are
being benefited, while the weak plants
are going to the wall. In most cases the
latter cannot recover under the most
favorable conditions.
The effect of the spell of northeast
winds is now manifest in the turnip
crops, for fully 10 per cent, of the pods
are infested with maggot. The later
pods may escape. Beet and mangel look
spindly and the lower leaves are dying
off rapidly, but this crop may yet be
saved; we shall need it. Spinach is per-
ishing on the earlier and lighter land.
From Southern Europe the reports are
of a more cheerful nature. The heavy
and almost continuous rains have ceased
and the customary sunshine is helping
onions, lettuces, beans and cauliflower
along in first rate style. It we keep free
from blight, fog and mildew our crops
should be satisfactory to all concerned.
Messrs. Lem W. Howcu and Tracy, of
Detroit, are making an extensive trip
through the seed grounds of Europe.
If ordo-ed now, vou will receive them early.

it is covered well with leaves for IVinter
protection. It is herbaceous, the tops
dying back every year, and what is re-
quired is that the roots be so covered as
to be free from fro.st. Treated in this
way, it is admirablefor situations retiuir-
ing a vine of moderate growth. When
the root is once well established the
flowers are produced freely every year,
and from their beauty and the interest
the common name excites, it is a vine
every one desires to obtain. In the .South
the vine is abundant, and its fruit is
called "May pops," and considered
edible.

Cutting off Seed Pods. — Many of us
know tilings quite well, yet do not mind
our attention being called to them. On
the list, is tbe cutting oH of seed pods.
When a plant flowers it should form seed
pnd.s to perfect its mission. But Lf wepre-
fer rtowers to seed, we cut off the decayed
hhissoms, preventing the plant wast-
ing" its energies on seed producing, and
then it starts the work afresh, and more
'(lowers come. Khododendrons and aza-
leas are particularly of this class. Left to
themselves, seed pods succeed the flowers,
nnd these tax the plants heavily to per-
I'rrt them. Cut off these seed pods just
as soon as the flowers fade, and the
c Unices for good growth and bloom for
thr next year are greatly improved.
'I'.iking two plants, one so treated and
"lie not, would be an object lesson worth
noticing.
I'ropagation of Californian Privet. —
In most nurseries the propagation of the
Californian privet is accomplished rapidly
cniMigh to meet all demands by the hard
wiiod process, which consists of cutting
I'll (lie young shoots in early Winter, raak-
iim them into nine-inch lengths, keeping
tlicni in a cool cellar, in earth, till Spring,
then setting- them in rows out of doors.
But there is another way — that of Sum-
mer propagation — which permits of the
raising of a large stock. This is the soft
wood plan, which consists of using the
young growth throughout the growing
season, rooting it in a frame, or in a
greenhouse. Practically every piece put
In will root, so that as the plant grows
from .June till October an inimen.se num-
ber can be rooted in this way. Those of the
first crop to be rooted can be planted out
as soon as they have got good roothold,
and, with a little care to get them start-
ed, will make a nice growth the first sea-
son. They are better potted when taken
from the cutting bed, but should pots be
scarce, setting them in flat boxes will
answer. In this latter case, however,
more care is required in transplanting.
While on the topic of rooting this privet
from green cuttings, it may be mentioned
that tiie Hydrangea paniculata grandi-
flora is easily propagated in a similar
way.
Nurserymen are hardly alert enough to
the fact that many shrubs can be in-
creased by greenhouse propagation in
Summer; in this way, too, the green-
house is made to pay at that season, in-
stead of lying idle as is so often the ease.
Many kinds hard to propagate outside
are tractable in greenhouses in Summer.
Perennials useful for Cut Flowers. —
Passing through a collection of peren-
nials recently, it occurred to me to make
note of those forming tall flower shoots,
making them useful for cutting for the
filling of vases and for other work, be-
sides their worth for adorning the gar-
den. The date the notes were made was
.June 10, at which time the flowers were
in good display. As a guide, the height
of flower stalk as well as the color of the
flower is given, Veronica montana, 2 feet,
blue; Achillea tomentosa, 1 foot, yellow;
columbines, 2 to .3 feet, various colors;
Ansonia saIicifolia,l.S inch, lilac; Anchusa
italica,;! feet, blue; Heleniiim Hoopcsii, 2
feet, yellow; Salvia nutans, 2% feet,
blue; Hemerocallis flava, 2 feet, yellow;
Polemonnim himalayense, 2 feet, blue;
Lychnis viscaria splendens, 1 foot, pink;
Thalictrum aquilegifolium, S feet, rosy
lilac; Dictamnus alba, 2 feet, white; D.
rosea, 2 feet, red ; Hemerocallis rutilans, 1
foot, yellow; Centaurea montana, 2 feet,
purplish blue.
No doubt a similar list could be made
up very two weeks throughout tlie sea-
son, as the various sorts follow on in
their turn. During the Summer months
these flowers should be a help to the one
who has calls for cut flowers.
Seashore Trees and Shrul)s. — A
friend in the florist business writes me
that one of his customers has a cottage
by the seashore and desires to plant on
his lawn an assortment of trees and
shrubs. He asks me if it will be possible
to set out an assortment with a proba-
bility of the plants doing well, keeping in
mind that the soil is very sandy, and the
location not 20 feet from high water
mark.
This inquiry gives me the opportunity
of saying that while there is a general im-
pression that plants will not thrive near
salt water, a more erroneous one does
not exist. One has but to look around
him ahmg ourextensiveseacoasts to find
vegetation thriving right down to the
water line in many places. Long Island,
New York, the bordering Connecticut
coast, the shores of Massachusetts and
the sea coasts of Kurope, afford ample
proof of this. Sandy, poor soil, bleak
On sandy coasts the purchasers of lots
often go to the expense of getting some
ear loads of stiff loam to spread above
the sand. As the loam becomes incorpo-
rated with the sand a soil is formed In
which plants flourish very well.
The Progress of the Nursery Busi-
ness.— The great difference for the better
in both the nursery and florist business is
very noticeable to those who have been
associated with these pursuits for many
years. As with all other businesses, they
have grown with the country, and the
extent of any one of the large concerns
equals to-day the whole of those of a
quarter of a century ago. With this, too,
Robert C. Berokmans, Augusta, Ga.

winds, and salt spray are all against the
success of trees, but not the proximity of
the ocean. Close to the water in many
parts of the New .Jersey coasts, there are
no trees or shrubs, but this is because of
shifting sands as much as anything.
Where a few ampelopsis vines get hold, or
a few bushes of the wax myrtle, Myrica
cerifera, a colony of shrubs, vines and
trees soon forms. A few hundred feet
back, where the evils spoken of do not
exist, forests of trees commence and
flourish
My advice would be to go ahead and
plant whatever is desired. As the
trees and shrubs grow up, one would
protect the other, and in ft few years
good results might be looked for.
has come a decided elevation of the two
in the eyes of the community. The old-
time florist was one possessed of a half
dozen greenhouses, from which he retailed
his verbena, geranium, heliotrope, sage
and like bedding- plants, and a few there
were who kept a miscellaneous collection
of greenhouse plants. To-day, acres are
required by a single firm. The nursery
business, too, has advanced, and with
gigantic strides. Some firms there are
that iiavp combined the wholesale, retail
and florist lines all in one, others which
confine themselves to one single branch,
wholesale or retail; and one and all of
them have found that there is necessary
in the business as much talent as is re-
quired in any other line of trade. The
enlargement of the business as a whole,
and by individuals, has called into it a
class of men of means, which has resulted
in the placing of the nursery business on
a much higher plane that it ever before
occupied There are positions in it now
calling for the exercise of business talents
of a high order. The firm of to-day does
not depend on one city or state, but on
the whole country; yes, of the whole
world, for hardly a large firm in the
midst of us but has its customers in every
country of the globe.
With tlieever-increasing wealth and en-
largement of the country, there seems
ample ground for the belief that the nurs-
ery business will be classed in tbe near
future as one of the leading industries of
the country, and, let us hope, one of the
remunerative ones as well.
With the advancement of the business
to a higher plane there should come, too,
the elevation of those employed in nurs-
eries. There are too many in gardens
and nurseries, posing as skilled hands,
with no knowledge whatever of the prin-
ciples of the business, and who probably
are worth less than they are paid ; but
the trained gardener or nursery hand
who understands his business, should
have the samestanding and wages as the
best mechanic, which so far lia\e not been
accorded him. The indications are that
this change will come to pass. The en-
largement of the business will call for
men of brains and ability, who will de-
mand and will obtain the compensation
similar services receive in other lines.
Joseph Meehan.
Flower Games.
The Chicago Tribune, of .June Ki, lias
been furnishing some samples of how a
few idle hours may be spent In .Summer
with floral revels. Here are a few of the
suggestions offered ;
" Garden Seeds is an old friend with a
new face, and may be happily turned to
use during the refreshment hour or be-
tween games. Every player tells what
he planted and into what it grew, the
last being always some plant or flower
and having some connection with the
object planted by a play on words, as: 'I
planted a pair of tight slippers and they
came up cornflowers'; ' 1 planted a cane
and it came up goldenrod;' 'I planted
some milk and it came up buttercups; ' ' I
planted a little pig and it came up ma-
hogany ( my-hoR-and-I. )"
"Flower conundrums will serve the
same purpose. The hostess can prepare
these beforehand by writing them on slips
of paper and distributing them to the
guests. A few models follow^: What is
the queen of flowers? The watering can,
because it reigns (rains) over them all.
What is my favorite tree? Yew. Whaf;
did Adam first plant in the garden of
Eden ? His feet. The difference between
a rhododendron and a cold apple tart?
The one is a rhododendron and the other
is a cold apple tart. You certainly would
not wish to have a greater difference,
would you?"
Robert C. Berckmans.
The president-elect of the American Asso-
ciation of Nurserymen, Robert ('. Berck-
mans,is a son of thewell-known nursery-
man, P. ,1. Berckmans, of .\ugusta, Ga.
The young man had served on the Execu-
tive Committee of the Association for
some years. The great nursery business
that was established by P. J. Berckmans
is not only being maintained but greatly
exiianded by his sons, anil the reputation
so long enjoyed by the father as a leading
authority in matters of pomology, horti-
culture and their associate branches, bids
fair to descend worthily upon the younger
men. We congratulate Air. I!. C. Berck-
mans upon the high compliment which
has been paid him.

Trade Notes.
There is an abundance of flowers in
this marliet, but very little demand for
them. In fact, not since Memorial Day
lias business been at all rushing; at that
time a satisfactory trade was clone by
all. There was a sood supply of Indoor
stocls, such as lilies, roses, carnations
and sweet peas, which brought good
prices.
Plants that were in bloom sold well,
but there was a great scarcity owing to
tlie dark, cloudy weatlier. As a general
thing, bedding plants have not sold so
well this year; nearly every florist has a
a large surplus on hand, which are in bet-
ter condition than they were a. few weelis
ago, and can be had for half the money.
Elaborate decorations at the com-
mencement exercises at Brown University
this week gave every florist in town some
business, and served to liven trade for a
day or so. We have had our usual num-
ber of June weddings, but with few ex-
ceptions, decorations have been limited.
Clab Items.
The meeting of the Florists and
Gardeners' Club was held on .June 13.
One new member was enrolled. The trip
to Buffalo in August was discussed in a
general way, and a committee appointed
to look into the matter of transporta-
tion and to report at the regular meeting
in .luly. There was some talk about a
plan to charter a car in company with
those going from Boston points.
The Ne-wa,
Walter S. Nichol, we regret to say,
is on the sick list.
George Johnson sailed for England on
June 19. He will be gone three months
and intends visiting several places of in
terest, including the Exposition in Glas-
gow, .Scotland. This makes liis tenth
trip across.

( ITiT) Dwarf Karly Chrysaiitheiniiin
Vaiieiies — WLatvai'ieties of dwarf early
til rvsantliemums would you recommend'.'
— sl
— Seven good dwarf early varieties are
as follows: Glory of the l'aciHe,with its
wliite sport Polly Hose; Lady Fitzwy-
grani with its yellow sport; Madame
Uergmann, Primo, H. L. Sunderbruch
wliicb can be got very early by taking
the early crown bud. — C. T.
(15S) Roses for Winter-flowering-
— is it all right to plant into benches
roses from ;2i/2-iuch pots; and when
should they be planted for Winter bloom-
ing?—S.
—Plants from 21/o-inch pots are all
right, and the sooner they are pianted in
the benches the better the result will be.
If, however, the benches are not ready to
be planted, and the roses are pot-bound,
it would be advisable to pot the roses
into larger pots, so as to keep the plants
growing until the benches are ready to
receive them.
(l."i'J) Picltiiig olT Blossoms; Borers
in Dogwood.- Should the blossoms on
the sourwood tree be picked off? and the
same if there should be any on the swamp
magnolia? which I have just receive<l.
Also, can I do anything to prevent the
borers fron. encircling the bottom of tlie
trunk of the dogwooil .' — I'. A. B.
— .\ tree or shrub recently transplanteii
is much theiietter foruotbeing permitted
to bear many flowers the first season.
But you need not take all the flo« er buds
from your sourwood tree — Oxydendron
arboreum. A few racemes of its pretty
white blossoms will please you and will
tax the tree but little to produce them.
And let the magnolia bear a few dowers,
if it will.
Borers in dogwoodsare something new
to me. The question how to keep borers
from trees has agitated fruit growers for
years. A well-known grower of Dela-
ware states that lie accomplishes it by
using a mixture made as follows: Ijime
as for whitewash, to which add half a
pint of gas tar, one pouud whaleoil soap,
and one quart clay or loam. This is ap-
jilied to the trunk by a brush. Many of
those who possess trees subject to borer
attacks go overtheir collection at regular
periods every season to dislodge grubs,
should any be found, and they claim this
to be the most satisfactory way of all, in
the long run. — Joseph Meehan.
(160) Hardy Vines and Plants in
Pois. — 1 have been much interested in Mr.
Meehan's article on hardy vines and iilants
in pots in theJunelissueof theFLomsTS,
KxciiANGE. I beg leave toask for a little
more information about the size of pots
required tor shrubs, say for the hydrangea
p. g., spira'a and lilacs, and whether the
roots should fill the soil that they may
be shipped without the pots. In potting
hemlock spruce, 6 to 12 in., or other
plante( shrubs) would you recommend one
potting, or to use the smaller sizes first?
And will you kindly advise me how the
jiotted trees and plants are kept over
Winter? It generally freezes here two to
two and a half feet deep. T. W. S.
— It is a pleasure to answer this coi-
respondent's inquiry. Largs shrubs are
not necessary, and such as can be placed
in eight to ten inch pots are big enough.
If an unruly root or two are present, cut
them back to fit the pot. Shipping was
not in mind when the notes were writ-
ten, but the supplying of home trade.
Should a cellar or other cool building be
available, the potting should be done in
the Fall and the plants housed till
Spring, unless practicable to so cover
the pots outdoors that freezing, with its
attendant cracliing of the pots, could
be avoided. As ttated in the uotes re-
ferred to, the selling is after the usual
planting season is over, say through May
and later. The pot plants will hold a
ball by that time — even those potted in
Spring, holding it well enough if care be
exercised in taking the plants out of the
pots.
I would prefer to use but a sizepot called
for by the need of the plant, shifting it as
required. .Southern nurserymen, who
grow evergreeus and other things in
pots, do not keep them in that shape as
they grow large, but plant out in the
nursery such as get too large. Green-
houses, frames, etc., are filled with such
plants, much as is done in many parts of
Europe.— Joseph Meehan.

FABLES FOR FLORISTS.
The Salter wbo was Salted.
In the Days when a Bunch of AI. Beau,
ties stood for a Wad of Dough the size of
a Fakir's Nerve, a Florist who was a Re-
formed Farmer got on to the Fact that
there are more Ways than One of Salting
Stocli. Good Old Salt is all right tor the
mild-eyed Kine, but when the Crop is Off,
and you are Next to a Festive Occasion,
you don't do a thing but Pielsle Them.
The Wiclied Commission Man may sul-
phurize freely, and the Retailer may get
a Grouch, but then he Ought to be It
anyway. So thought the Saline Grower,
and as the Festive Occasion loomed up,
he Went Into the Pickle Business in a Way
that made Heinz of Pittsburg (57 kinds
including Pimolas) look About the Big-
ness of a Jersey Corporation's Soul. He
Doped Beauts and Maids, and chauncey-
depewed bulb stuff and Pickled Prosperi-
ty and Lawson, until there was Enough
Vinegar in His Atmosphere to Take the
EdgeOff a Woman'sSuHrageConvcntion.
Then He lit an Imported Imperfecto from
Second Avenue, that Ought to Have been
Served On the Side with a Slab of Corned
Beef, and Sat Down to Figure on the Re-
turns. He Reckoned he Would Plant
Down a Week at Buffalo, Put a Gilt Halo
around the Thousand Isles, and Show
the Kanucks whatit was to Get Ne-xt to
the Real Thing.
Mean Time the Commission Man,
whose Birthday was Farther Back than
Ijast Saturday, had Been Trying to take
A Little Fall out of the Salt Box Himself.
He Decided that He Rarely Appeared
among Those Who Also Ran, and if the
Public Yearned for Pickled Stock, He
would Romp in and Give 'Ihem Good and
Plenty. When the Festive Day Dawned
there wasaSlump in Florists' Stock that
Made the Octopuses of Wall Street feel
Like machine-madechicks that have been
Ruthlessly separated from the Maternal
Incubator, and Put all the Adjacent
Pickle Foundries Out of the Ring. As for
the Marks who did the Pickling their
monthly Statements contained Enough
Goose Eggs to stock Your Uncle Anse for
Two Seasons, and They Sadly Gurgle —
Never Again — until the Next Time.
Moral: There Are Others.
Amons; the Ma£:azines.
A most excellent feature in the .Jul.v
number of that always enjoyable, in-
structive and up-to-date magazine, the
Delineator, is the reproduction in colors
of several illustrations showing the
color scheme of the buildings at the Pan-
American Exposition at Buffalo. The
plates have been made directly from the
original watercolor sketches of C. V. Tur-
ner, Director of Color to the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition, and all the beautiful
effects of the originals, necessitating the
most exact register, have been obtained.
The July edition of the magazine is
025,000.

there's a certain kind o' tree that grows

OUR COLORED SUPPLEMENT.
Pinus Excelsa— Himalayan Pine.
Travelers from Europe who visit us, as
many are doing of late years, are gener-
ally disappointed in seeing so few pines
and other conifers in our collections, with
the knowledge they have of the great va-
riety native to this continent. It is with
some astonishment they learn that but
few of the large number growing on the
Pacific coast will thrive in the East, and
this is why such a limited number is to
be found in our collection. In Europe
the gardens are much enriched with our
evergreens.
Speaking for the Middle States, one
of the most desirable pines is the one
we illustrate this week — Pinus excelsa.
Horticultural works usually term it
Bhotan pine, while nurserymen more
often catalogue it as Himalayan pine, as
it comes from the Himalayas.
Nearly all pines have a stiff, rugged
nature, but in this respect the Hima-
layan is entirely different. The needles
are long, soft, almost silky to the touch.
Not to speak of its beauty, many plant
it for its soft foliage, as it admits brush-
ing against without the sharp rebuke the
Austrian, Scotch and many others give
under similar circumstances. We ourselves
confess a preference for aU soft-foliaged
conifers.
A. description of the beauty of the foli-
age and whole tree can hardly be con-
veyed with the pen. The color of the foli-
age is that of silver, even more pro-
nounced than that of the white pine,
Pinus strobus. The shoots are strong
and vigorous, and while the upper ones
are upright growing, as the lower ones
are met with they become somewhat
drooping, so that no matter the age of
the tree the branches sweep the ground.
Besides all the enjo.yment derived from
the loveliness of the tree, gardeners are
pleased to plant it because it rarely fails
to live. It is strange what a difference
there is in pines in this respect. The
Himalayan and the white pine are com-
paratively easy to transplant, while all
others we think of, native and foreign,
require very great care.
The illustration is of a typical specimen
growing in Fairmount Park, Philadel-
phia, along an avenue leading to George's
Hill. This avenue, during the Centen-
nial Exposition in 187l.>, was dotted with
buildings erected by the different states.
The one shown in the picture is the Ohio
Building, one ol a tew not taken down
when the event was over.
One of the attractions of this pine is the
cones it bears. These are often six to
nine inches in length, pendant in clusters
of three or four together, encircling a
branch; they are light brown when ripe,
and slightly curved. We think them de-
cidedly ornamental. The tree illustrated
is about of a bearing size, and perhaps
ma.v have borne some cones. On the
grounds of several of the older estates in
the vicinity of Philadelphia are some
majestic specimens of it, and these are
yearly beautified with these cones.
In its native country, it becomes a mas-
sive tree, reaching a height of over 100
feet.
As will be inferred, this grand pine is
best placed where it has room for its full
development. At the same time, as it
submits to pruning without protest, it
may be set where less room can be
afforded it, and be kept in place by an-
nual pruning.
Our illustration represents a young
tree, perhaps not 20 years old, yet it is
20 feet in height, and from the way it
thrives, promises in time to be a very
great attraction to the portion of the
park in which it is placed.

Labeling Exhibits sit Pan-American.
In the communication of our correspon-
dent dealing with Pan-American matters
this week, hecites several instances where
the labeling of varieties of roses consti-
tuting certain exhibits has been entirely
ignored. This, we think, is an unfortu-
nate condition, both for the exhibitor
himself and the public who may view the
display made. Those of the trade par-
ticularly who go to the trouble and ex-
pense of making an exhibit at an institu-
tion like the Pan-American Exposition
naturall.v expect to reap some ultimate
benefit in the way of augmented business
from among the thousands of visitors
that will attend. This consummation
will to a greater or less extent be frus-
trated if the material on display bear no
mark by which its identification is ren
dered easy of accomplishment. The dif-
fering tastes of the people in the matter
of preference tor certaiu varieties of roses
orother flowers and plants shown should
always beheld in mind byexhibitors; and
one way tending to lead to the gratifica-
tion of each individual predilection is to
familiarize the purchasing public with the
correct nomenclature of those subjects
which strike the fancy.
"nlabeled exhibits, or those improperly
named, at any ^exhibition, great or small,
lose their educational force, an<l militate
against trade interests.
A Hybridization Conference.
We observe the Horticultural Society
of New York thinks the time is ripe when
America should have a "hybridization
conference," similar to the one held in
London a year or two ago, and " has de-
cided to take the initiative in this way."
From the reports of the English confer-
ence of this character, it does not appear
that the conferees succeeded in "setting
the Thames on fire," and apparently no
great interest was manifested in the mat-
ter, outside of a few enthusiasts who
met, read papers, and finally enjoyed a
banquet where much post-prandial ora-
tory, of a more or less mutually lauda-
tory nature, was spilled. Such is Hkely
to be the case here, providing the pro-
posed conference materialize.
Of course, our infant society is to be
complimented upon its ambition to soar
into the regions of " advanced horticul-
ture," thus early in the association's
career, but it would seem that there is
enough tor it to do, for many years to
come, in working up what it set out to
accomplish— an interest in plain, practi-
cal horticulture among the denizens of
New York and vicinity, leavingsuchhigh-
falutin notions as a hybridization con-
ference to the more advanced and strictly
technical institutions, as, for instance, the
Torrey Botanical Institute, or the Asso-
ciation for the Advancement of Science.
A society organized for the benefit of the
common people should keep its workings
down to a point within the comprehen-
sive grasp of thecommon people; only by
so doing can it expect to maintain a gen-
eral interest in either itself or its work,
and, consequently, do the greatest good
to the greatest number. We do not be-
lieve that a discussion of matters c<m-
nected with hybridization will tend much
to the education or result in any in-
crease in the number of plant and flower
lovers in New York and neighborhood,
the surprisingly small number of which
was rightly deplored and made a plea tor
the need and organization of the society
in question, and to bring about an in-
crease in which was its avowed chief ob-
ject. The Society should "stick to its
last."
American Rose Society.
By vote of the annual meeting of the
society, members will support the Rose
Show of the Newport, R. I., Horticultural
Society, July 2 and 3, as the Snmmer
exhibition of roses.
Members of the American Rose Society
having blooms to exhibit will therefore
send them to reach Newport on the
morning of June 25.

Hotels in Buffalo.
For the coming meeting of the S. A. F-
and O. H., the Buffalo Florists' Club
has undertaken the arduous but never-
theless pleasant task to act as host for
all the visiting florists.
Although there were apprehensions
and rumors afloat that Buffalo would
not be able to properly lodge and house
the visiting masses, such fears have van-
ished and we now feel sure that every-
body who will come to our beautiful
Pan-American City this Summer will find
a place to go to when night comes. All
we ask, is: Tell us that you are coming,
but let us know a little beforehand and
we will see that a stopping place to your
liking will be prepared for you.
For this purpose the B. F. C. has ap-
pointed its Hotel Committee, whose duty
it is to secure options on all kinds of ac-
commodations, to which the different
visiting florists may be assigned, accord-
ing to their election.
To properly house all visitors, Buffalo
can furnish very good room accommoda-
tions, as follows:
Regular Hotels.
Mostly European, some American
plan. Price from $1 to $10 per room a
day tor one person.
Pan-Amtrican Hotels.
These were formerly apartment
houses, and being refitted for;hotel pur-
poses, furnish excellent lodging. They
are all in the residence section of the city
and well appointed. I'rice from %1 to $S
per room for one person.
Boarding Houses.
There are many good houses, andi
run in price from $1 to $2 per day ion
one person, with or without meals. "
Private Houses.
A great many private houses, alll
over the city, have been opened, to receive
Pan-American visitors, and good lodging!
can be had from $1 to 1.50 per daj' to,
one person, with breakfast for 25c. auL^
50c. extra. Restaurants and eating
houses are plenty and prices reasonable.
The following are some of the hotels
with their rates: Iroquois, $4; Titlt,
$3; Broezel, $3; Genesee, $3; Man-
sion, $3; Grueners, $1.50; Detroit, $1;
Victoria $1; Vendome, $1.50; Columbia,
$1; Niagara, $3; Lennox, $3; Statters,
$2; per day and up. All European plan.
No special rates unless for large par-
ties. There are any number ol other
hotels covered by the Buffalo Florist Clubi
letter, but the word "up" has no limit IS
crowds are good and the demand ton
hotels large. We have accommodations
for every one and any price you want.

Salt Lake Citt, Utah.— W. A. Clark;
.Tr., the son of the great Montana coppei^i
king, is to launch out in the greenhousei
business in Salt Lake, and is now having!
erected the largest establishment of that;
kind ill the intermountain country. Mr.
Clark has associated with him J. H. Mit-
chell, formerly of Butte, who for yearsi
had charge of the Columbia gardens ini
that place. Mr. Mitchell is now in the city
atwork getting the greenhouses ready for
business. It is the intention to incorpo-
rate and organize a company with a capi-
tal stock of $30,000 or $40,000, he com-
pany to be known as the Salt Lake Flo-
ral Company. The plant will be located
on two and a half acres of ground pur-
chased the l.st of May tor $3,000 from
L. S. Hills and located between State and
Main Streets below Eleventh South. Six
greenhouses are now going up, each one'
260 X 20 feet in extent. A workroom 20
X 100 feet in extent is also being erected;
this will include a boiler room. It is the
present intention of the new company
to devote all its energies to the cultiva^
tion of roses, carnations and chrysanthe-
mums for the market. Another idea that
the compan.v has in mind and one tliat
will be of considerable local interest, is a
chrysanthemum show that it will give in
November. Theplan is to give $1,000 in
premiums and in this way bring to Salt
Lake some of the most beautiful flowers
of this kind to be found in the United
States.

Butted Glass.
Editor Fbrists' Exchange :
In reference to the article on butted
glass on page 59S, June issue of The
Florists' E.xchange, our experience
leads us to state that we are decidedly
in favor of lapped glass. We have used
in the neighborhood of 1,400 boxes of
16x24 glass during the past two and a
half years on two houses, each 200x22
feet. We tried butting the glass, but
must say it was very unsatisfactory.
In the first place it is very hard to keep
rafters from springing one way or the
other, which interferes with the glass
butting evenly. Another fault that we
found was in getting the edge of the
glass uniform so as to make a nice
joint: a great deal of glass, after the
cutter passes over it, does not break off
flush, making it very hard to butt close.
Of course water will fill in the crev-
ices and act as a conductor for the
water to pass over; but at the same
time a large percentage comes into the
greenhouse, and after a spell of damp
weather the glass begins to look a little
dirty green color, and is not to be com-
pared with lapped glass. Another ad-
vantage that lapped glass has over
butted is in repairing broken panes, the
work being more easily done, with less
liability to leakage.

Richmond, Va., June 6.
Lilium Harrisii in Bermuda.
Editor Florists' Exchange:
My attention has been called to a
letter from G. A. Bishop, of Bermuda,
published in a late issue of your valu-
able paper, directing notice to certain
fields of lilies (photo of which he had
forwarded) now growing in the islands,
showing the result of intelligent meth-
ods of treatment, such as spraying,
etc. I do not for a moment believe it
was Mr. Bishop's desire or intention to
advertise any particular party at the
expense of the large body of growers
who have been and still are laboring
conscientiously in the direction of erad-
icating disease and improving their
stock, though it would so appear to the
casual reader. Mr. Bishop concludes
his interesting letter with these sig-
nificant words: "Purchasers are to be
blamed if they get hold of stock from
these latter (the indifferent ones who
care nothing for what they plant or
dig) and should buy only from reliable
dealers and growers." I would sug-
gest to Mr. Bishop, as a corollary to
the above, that he do his part for the
protection of our customers (the flor-
ists of the United Slates and Canada)
by naming the unreliable dealers and
growers, the existence of whom he
more than hints at.
To show you "there are others" who
have successfully solved the problem of
producing healthy stock, I forward tor
your inspection (and publication, if you
see fit) a field of 5-7 inch bulbs, one of
several being grown by Henry Dunk-
ley, Devonshire, Bermuda. I want to
say in reference to these bulbs that
they were planted late in November
last. They had been shipped to me for
sale here in August of last year, and,
being unsold at the end of the season,
were reshipped to Bermuda in Novem-
ber, and, I think, the stock will com-
pare favorably with that from bulbs
that have had two months' longer
growth. This photo was taken before
Easter, and shows the buds in various
stages of development, with no indi-
cations of disease or flower malforma-
tion. Jas. Kempe.

OBITUARY.
John McCallum.
John McCallum a landscape gardener,
died at his home in .Saco, Me., June 18,
aged 78 years, from Bright's disease.
He was born in Ireland, where he learned
the trade of a gardener in the efficient
manner that particularly clistinguishes
those who acquired such knowledge in
the old country. When a comparatively
young man he came to .Saco. There he
went to work at Laurel Hill cemetery.
His suggestions for beautifying this spot
were found to be so practical that his ad-
vice was always heeded, and it is due to
him in a large measure that the cemetery
presents its present handsome appear-
ance. His services were also fre<iuently
sought b.v the more wealthy people in
.Saco, in making theirlawns and beautify-
ing the ground about their homes. Many
of thetrees iibout thecity were setout by
him. His widow and a son and daughter
survive him.
Thomas S. Ware.
Thomas S. Ware, late of Tottenham,
England, died at Barnard Castle, on May
30 last, in his 77th year. The deceased,
though not brought up to the nursery
business, or in any way connected with
it in his earlier years, was a keen florist,
and, by his knowledge of flowers and
business ability, succeeded in making the
name of his Tottenham establishment a
household word among lovers of hardy
flowers .all over the globe. He retired
from active participation in the business
several years ago.
Mrs. F. M. Smythe.
It is with sincere regret that we record
the deaths of Mrs. F.M. Smythe and son,
which occurred Sunday last, about "J:30
p. m. Less than a year ago Mr. Smythe,
who is a member of the Arm of Wadley &
Smythe, New York, was married, and
the young couple have since made their
home in New Rochelle, N. Y.
The sad event came unexpecteilly, and
the sympathies of the craft will go out
to Mr. Smythe in his bereavement. Fune-
ral services were held at the home of Mr.
Robert Scott, New Rochelle, on Wednes-
day evening, and the interment took
place at Woodlawn cemetery on the fol-
lowing day.
Buffalo.
Trade News.
Among the trade the flower store
men seem fairly occupied with general
business in calls for school commence-
ments and sundry festive occasions of
moderate extent. The supply of flowers
is at present ample, carnations sharing a
tendency to a surplus, almost for the
first time during this year. With the ex-
ception of but several days that have
been decidedly warm, the weather in its
coolness has favored these blooms which
are still flnecolored and good sized. The
roses grown locally are also much better
in i|uallty than is commonly known at
this date.
The plant men are at it full force and
bedding stock Is moving rapidly.
Clnb Notes.
A club meeting on Tuesday evening
was well attended. Reports from com-
mittees indicate that active and harmon-
izing work is now being exerted in the
various features and adjuncts of the
coming S. A. F. meeting.
As regards accommodations, it is ex-
pected the interests of the largest number
ot attendants at the coining meeting will
be best served In the delegates engiigiiig
ouarters in the larger apartment .iiicl
boarding houses, and in private houses.
Under the handling ot W. A. .\diinis,
chairman of Hotel Committee, circulars
of details are ready for distribution.
Undoubtedly the city will be well occu-
pied by strangers at convention time, so
all delegates that are decided on coming
are urged in their interest to apply to
Mr. Adams, (.address 47!) Main Street)
with the view of an early eettllng on
accommodation.
The two Bilvercup8,the Buffalo Florists'
Club awards, one for a plant premium,
one for flowers, were on di^play and look
attractive enough to entice active com-
petition from exhibitors.
Bowling matters, ways and means and
entertaining were dul.v reported on by
the committees in charge.
Fred Munson, of New Haven, Conn.,
well established in all that pertains to
lithography and folding boxes, was a
visitor at the meeting.
.\ few of the florists, who already are
doing the Pan-American, get about town
to call on the craft. Included in this cl.ass
recently have been seen, ('. H. Hune, ot
Memphis, Tenn.; E. Hippard, Youngs-
town, Ohio; Mr. and Mrs. George H.
Benedict, ot Yorkville, N. Y., and Mr.
Chadborii, ot Newburgh, N. Y., who is
installing a setot Thermostat ventilators
in one of the Pan-American conservato-
ries. Vim.

Chrysantheraum Rust.
liv J. C. Akthur.
Tbe outbreak of chrysanthemum rust,
which has attracted much atteuiion in
the last two or three years, preseiitH
features ttiat are of interest nut only to
growers ot this popular dower, but to
every one who cares to be informed re-
garding a class of parasitic fungi prey-
ing upon cultivated croi)euf almost every
kind and proving exceedingly harmful
and ditiicult to control. The genuine
rusts (Uredinere) are of many kinds and
varied in their habits. All of them grow
upon the living parts of plants only, and
this intensely parasitic habit must be
borne in mind to fully appreciate their
characteristics.
A typical rust, as one may say, has
three prominent sorts of spores; {D the
jEcidiospores, usually some shade of yel-
low or orange, formed in little while
cups, just large enough to be seen fairly
well with a hand lens; (2) the uredn
spores, which are generally of a rusty yi I-
low color, and being produced in grent
abundance on the surface of leaves and
stems give a semblance of iron rust, and
hence the name, now applied to the
whole group; and (3) the teleutospores,
which generally are dark brown or
black, and for the most part serve tn
carry the fungus over Winter, being able
to withstand considerable drought and
cold or other adverse conditions. These
three forms are sometimes spoken of as
the first, second and third stages of the
fungus. The asparagus rust, now rapidly
spreading over thin country from east
to west, has all three stages, the first
stage appearing in Spring andthe others
in Summer and Autumn.
In the case ot the rust on the chrysan-
themum an unusual condition exists,
which is difficult, if not impossible, to
account for at the present time Only
uredospores have yet been found in
Europe or America As the fungus is an
annual— that is, it does not live from year
to year in the tissues of the host plant,
but dies with the falling or cuttingaway
of the leaves — it is puzzling to see what
security the fungus has against extermi-
nation during late Winter and Spring
months when chrysanthemum plants aie
latent A natural solution was to sup-
pose that the rust is identical with one
ot the forms common on many wild
plants, members ot the opposite family,
and more or less closely related to the
chrysanthemum. This solution seemed
so inevitable that mycologists at once
called the fungus Puccinia hieracli, or
Puccinia tanaceti, both names for a very
abundant rust, or probably more than
one, found on a number of the most com-
mon weeds throughout the world. But
no explanation was offered for the tact
that although chrysanthemums have
been cultivated tor a long period, yet the
rust has only recently attacked them,
and almost at once has arisen to the
proportions of an epidemic.
The rust Is easily distinguished from all
other diseases that attack the chrysan-
themum. It forms small blisters, about
the size of a pin head, or by coalescing
much larger ones, which appear on the
under surface of the leaf, and to some ex-
tent on the upper surface. These soon
break open and expose a dark brown
powder, the uredospores. On badly in-
fested plants tbe leaves are well covered,
especially beneath, with the loose brown
powder, indicating the wonderful possi-
bilities in spreading the infection to
healthy plants in the vicinity, as every
grain of this powder is capable of start-
ing the fungus in a growing leaf it the
conditions are favorable.
The rust appeared on chrysanthemums
In the vicinity ot the Indiana station in
the Fall of 1899, which was the first in-
stance of its occurrence in this State, so
far as I know. It seems to have been
observed for the first time in America at
Fitchburg, JIass.,in the Fallot '9G, doing
great datnage to the Winter stock ot
George H. Hastings, and appeared in
many widelv separated localities In the
Eastern States by the Fall ot 1898. In
England it appears to have been seen in
189.5, becoming prevalent by 1897,
Tvbile on the continent it put in an ap-
pearance a year or two later. It is now
found in France, Germany, Denmark,
America and probably other countries
where the flower is much grown. A com-
mon feature of the advent of the rust in
both Europe and America has been the
virulence shownduringthefirst season or
two, and the consequent Injury done to
the crop.
The experimental study by the depart-
ment began in November, 1899, and ex-
tended Into the Summer of 1900. The
obvious and most pressing question was
to ascertain if any truth lay in the
assumption that has been brought tor-
ward that the rust is identical with that
of certain common weeds, from which
the infection might be derived. Until this
point was settled no plan for controlling
or suppressing the diseasecould be advo-
cated with confidence. The cultures were
directed toward this end, and were made
in the greenhouse upon vigorous plants
that had been grown in pots for some
time.
The results of the work show with
abundant clearness that while the rust is
readily transferred from one chrysanthe-
mum (Chrysanthemum indicum) to
another, it cannot be transferred to dan-
delion, burdock or the ox-eye daisy.
They also show, although not in so pro-
vatlon of the chrysanthemum, and from
which Importations are still made to
provide novelties for both the European
and American markets.
In that country, as we learn in a com-
munication from Professor Miyoshl, of
Tokio, to Dr. Jacky,of Pro8kau,the rust
"is indeed very common and well
known." We further learn that it has so
tar passed under the name of Puccinia
tanaceti DC, and that the teieutospores
also occur, as well as the uredospores.
Japanese material has been examined by
Dr. .lacky and found to be identical in
the appearance ot the uredotorm wilh
the European material. The conclusions
seem to be beyond reasonable doubt that
this disease has been brought from Japan
and distributed by dealers in cuttings
and rooted plants, and that tor some un-
known reason only the least to be dread-
ed ot the two forms of spores produced by
the tuugus in its native country is rarely.
If ever, developed in the Western world!
It should be stated in this connection
that teieutospores are mentioned and
figured by Massee in his description of
the fungus, and are described and figured
by Poze in the account where he con-
cludes (without making cultures) that
the fungus is distinct from native sorts
on composite plants, giving it the name

nounced a manner as could be desired,
that the exceedingly common rust of the
dandelion, occurring over the whole
country throughout the active season,
will not grow upon the chrysanthemum.
Inshort.it is pretty evidentthat we have
to deal here with a rust which is not
identical with one that is indigenous,
although close resemblance in microsco-
pic characters has led to that belief.
These conclusions were reached some
time ago, and confirmation has recently
come in an account of cultures made
abroad during the same period of time
as our own. lu (iermany. Dr. Jacky, ot
Proskau found thattherustot the chrys-
anthemum could not be transferred to
the Marguerite, ox-eye daisy, tansy,
costmary, or wild wormwood; and in
England, Dr. Plowrlght found that it
would not grow on dandelion, giant
daisy, or orange hawkweed.
There can, therefore, be no further
question that thechrysanthemum rust Is
not the same as similar wild sorts, that
it did not find its way into the green-
house from other plants, either wild or
cultivated, however closely related, and
that it must in consequence have been
Inadvertently introduced, probably
through commercial channels, from some
region outside of Europe or America.
In seeking for the source ot the rust It
is natural to turn to Japan, the countr.y
oldest and most prominent in thecultl-
Puccinia chrysauthemi. It seems highly
probable from circumstantial evidence
that genuine teieutospores ot the true
rust were not seen by either observer,
especially as the two differ in their ac-
counts, neither are verified by other ob-
servers, and both fail to agree with ob-
servations made upon the teieutospores
transmitted from Japan. Moreover, it
may be easily explained how the errors
were unwittingly committed.
Having disposed ot the Question ot the
identity of the rust and feeling reasona-
bly certain that we have to deal with a
parasitic fungus incapable of growth
upon any wild or ordinarily cultivated
plant ot the country besides the chrysan-
themum, it will be well to ascertain, so
far as possible, in what manner It main-
tains itself from one favorable period of
growth to another. It is quite certain
that the mycelium ot the fungus does not
spread far through the tissues ot the
plant, and probably never enters the
stems, certainly not the older stems. The
disease is propagated from one leaf to
another on the same or different plants
by the spores, which are blown about by
currents of air or carried by streams ot
water. We have to deal with but one
kind ot spore, which is fortunately short-
lived; just how short-lived is not known,
no observations apparently having been
made. It is probably a sate assumption
that spores will not grow after a week
or fortnight at the most after dropping
away from the leaf. Therefore, spores
scattered aboutthe greenhouse are likely
to come to naught ii they do not speedily
find living chrysanthemum leaves on
which to vegetate. Uutsideof the green-
house it must be rare, if ever, that tlie
rust lives over Winter. One instance is
reported from Germany, where shoots
affected with the rust were exposed to
outside weather from December 1st to
the first week in February, the tempera-
ture at times dropping as low as 18 de-
grees below zero (Fahrenheit). Spores
subsequently taken from the dead leaves
proved capable of growth. This must,
however, be rated for the present as an
exceptional instance, for all other obser-
vations go to show that the spores are
not especially long-lived or resistent.
Another circumstance much in the cul-
tivator's favor is the propagation of the
disease withouttheformatiou ot custom-
ary teieutospores, or third stage. Not
ouly does this render the disease far less
persistent, but without doubt indicates
that it is less vigorous in its attacks. In
general, when a rust is confined to the
uredotorm for a number of generations,
its vitality is much reduced, and also its
power of injuring a crop. So long as the
teieutospores do not make an appearance
in this country, the careful cultivator
may feel assured that a moderate amount
ot timely effort will enable him tn rid his
establishment of the rust, if he is so un-
fortunate as to have it donated to him
by some careless florist. Observations
made by the writer and others show
that the tendency is tor the disease to
disappear of itself, to run its course in
an establishment and die out, which is
very likely to some extent due to the ab-
sence of teieutospores. Nothing has been
said about oecidiospores, or first stage of
the fungus, a still more reinvigoratiug
form than the third stage, for it has not
yet been learnedfrom Japan whether the
fungus possesses this form or not.
Having carefully reviewed the present
knowledge of the characters and habits
of the fungus, only a tew words will be
required to outline the treament tor its
suppression or control. Care should be
taken that the rust does not invade an
establishment. All purchased cuttings
or plants should be carefully looked over
tor the rust, and also closely watched
lor at least a month afterward to detect
the very beginning of the disease, should
it develop. If taken in time, removing
the diseased leaves as they appear and
burning them without scattering the
spore powder is likely to stop its spread.
Other precautions which will occur to
any cultivator, like wholly destroying
very badly infested plants, may also be
employed." Should It continue to crop
out in spite ot all such attention, every
leaf and stem above ground should be
destroyed at the end ot the flowering
period, and the young plants or cuttings
tor the next season's supply be grown in
an uncontaminated house and if possible
trom uncontaminated material. With an
understanding ot the nature of the rust
tungus there will probably be little ditfl-
culty in fully eradicating the disease by
the end of the second season at the
longest.
Spraying with a suitable fungicide to
keep the rust lu check has been recom-
mended by a number of writers. How
efficient this method will prove cannot
be definitely stated, as experimental re-
ports are lacking and the station has
not had an opportunity to make tests.
The Bordeaux mixture may be used, or
sulphldeot potassium. FortheIatter,use
one ounce to two gallons of water, and
apply weekly. No fungicide is likely to
stop the disease without hand picking,
but it rightly used will undoubtedly
prove a material assistance.
Summary.
1. The chrysanthemum rust has in-
vaded America within a half decade, and
In various places, including Indiana, has
done injury to the chrysantheum in-
dustry.
2. The rust will grow only upon the
true chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum
indicum), and not upon daisies, cost-
mary, or other allied species, or upon
more distantly related plants.
3. The Latin nameot the rust Is Pucci-
nia chrysauthemi, given to it recently by
Roze.
4. It appears to be a native of Japan,
and has been introduced into Europe and
America through commercial agencies.
5. In the Western world the fungus
produces only uredospores, which are
efficient tor spreading the disease under
favorable conditions, but not for carry-
ing it through uncongenial periods or
tor maintaining the tungus in full vigor.
6. So long as teieutospores do not ap-

pear, the disease is likely to be easy of
control, and at present none have been
found outside of the Orient.
7. Care to keep out the disease, and
hand picking, with total destruction of
badly diseased plants when It does ap-
pear, should be effective in wholly evad-
ing the disease or In eradicating It within
a year or two.
8. Spraying all plants of a house fre-
quently with Bordeaux mixture or sul-
phide of potassium will doubtlexB assist In
keeping the diseaseincheck. — Bulletin S5,

Victoria Trickeri.
This noble aquatic plant has now been
before the public forsix years, and is com-
paratively little known. Many attempts
have been made to cultivate it, but very
few liave succeeded in doing so. The
greatest hindrance to its succcessful cul-
tivation has been the mistaken idea that
it is a variety of Victoria regia and re-
quires similar treatment. Any person
who has grown hardy and tender nym-
phipas knows full well that hardy nym-
phjT?as will not grow uuderthe same con-
ditions as tlie tropical varieties, antl that
Victoria regia will not succeed under con-
ditions that are favorable for tender
nymphjeas. No amount of cultivation or
Trickeri does admirably with him in a
temperature of 7.5 degrees.
The end of June is a favorable time,
and the best, for planting out Victoria
Trickeri where no artificial heat is em-
ployed. Of course, the season has much
to do with it, also the different sections
of the country; but the present is the
right time to plant out in the Mid-At-
lantic States, also western and some
eastern sections.
All this is mere repetition of what has
been said before; but I will here state
that Victoria Trickeri grows wild in the
tributaries and the quiet bays of the
Parana River in Argentina, South .Ameri-
ca, and is also found in Uraguay. Look
up the location and draw your own con-
clusions as to climatic conditions.

no need for another heavy watering until
the seed has germinated, thus obviating

acclimatizing will makehardy nymphjeas
tender, or tender nyinph;eas hardy. Con-
ditions Uosel.vakinto that in their native
climes are necessary for success. Victoria
regia requires a temperature of 85 to 90
degrees for seed to germinate, and this
temperature Is not too high for plants
provided they have full sunshine and fresh
air — out of door cultivation, natural con
ditions, yes, and even a higher tempera-
ture. Every one knows full well that
Victoria regia is a tropical plant, even if
he does not know from experience what
tropical weather is.
Such conditions are not congenial to
Victoria Trickeri. Seed germinates freely
in a temperature from 62 to 0.5 degree's
and a good growing temperature is 7.5 to
80 degrees. These are the temperatures
of the water. Where the temper.iture of
the waterfalls below 70 degrei's. there is
danger of the plants suffering; and it the
temperature rises to 90 degrees, there is
also danger of the plants suffering. I
have known such cases in both extremes
of temperature, though these may not be
considered extremes. I have long ago
advised a temperature for Victoria Tric-
keri similar to that for a Zanzibar lily.
ProfessorCowell,|of Buffalo, says Victoria
the possibility of the seeds being washed
to one corner of the pan. Keep the seed
pans in a cool, shaded part of the green-
hou.se, covering them with a panecjf glass
to prevent thehi drying out too quickly.;
Dahlias. — In localities not visited with
very early frosts, plantings of dahlias
may be made now, and the plants will
prove most satisfactory. Last .year the
later planted stock did best of any.
Those who have a Fall traile for cut
flowers should plant a few dalilias at
this time. Some of the cactus varieties
are admirable for floral work, and a few
of them should be included in every col-
lection. Have the land preiiared for
them well enriclied, and water freely dur-
ing dry weather.
Carnations.— Those plants that were
received late and were put temporarily
into flats can be planted in the field any
time now, and they will go right ahead.
Don't allow the weeds to get a start in
the carnation field; hoe regularly, but be
careful about going in deep, close to the
lilants. The roots of the earlier planted
ones are moving freely now, and there is
danger of their being mutilated if too
deep cultivating close around them he
practiced.
Lily of the Valley; A Home Product.
The flowers of lily of the valley are ex-
tremely popular, and thousands, perhaps
millions, of the dormant plants, or pips,
are annually imported from Europe for
forcing. The imported stock generally
offered in the market are fully developed
pips containing the promise of abun-
dant foliage and one or two flower stems.
These lily of the valley pips could as
well be grown in this country, and no
doubt w ill be when the ea.sy culture
once is well understood. There is also
comparatively very little labor connected
with the cultivation of this plant, and
the preparation for market of the full
grown product.
While the plant is a native of northern
Europe's forests, our climatic conditions
do not offer any serious obstacle to its
cultivation here, as the lily (.f the valley
makes its growth during our Spring
months— April, Ma.v and June, when the
temperature is comparatively low, and
moisture abundant.
Moisture is essential to vigorous
growth; and strong growth means
strong flowering pips. .\s it has been
found that the pips reach blooming size
quicker on rich land well irrigated than
under the opposite conditions, it would
be well not to attempt the experiment
when these essentials are not at hand.
Lily of the valley will prosper in any
deep, fairly rich soil, well drained ; but for
easy culture a rather sandy loam should
be given preference to a heavy clay, prac-
tically because the wheel hoe can be oper-
ated more readily, and the rows can be
nmde closer and yet not interfere with
clean cultivating. Anyone of the Eastern
States, New England, the Middle West
and the Pacific Coast states should offer
hundreds of stretches of land well suited
for this plant.
The one great objection offered to
transplanting such cultures to our acres
is that labor costs so much more here
than abroad. This is in many cases
largely imaginary, as lias been proven in
our gladiolus, tuberose and seed fields;
and in tlie case of lily of the valley it will
not hold good either, as most of the op-
erations in lily of the valley culture can
be done by boys. However, cheaper land
and the use of the wheel hoe cultivators
vpill likely outbalance the additional cost
of labor, if labor for this purpose does
cost more here.
In the European lily of the valley fields
the plants.are generally iilanted in" beds-I
to 0 feet wide; tlie rows in tliese beds are
about C to 8 Indies apart, with from ii to
4 inches between the plants in the row.
This system will, of course, save space,
but causes an endless lot of hand labor in
weeding, as the close rows allow no
wheel hoe to be used and the nature of
the product effectually prohibits the em-
ployment of hand hoes.
I will endeavor to show a manner of
handling this plant to good advantage
commercially. To begin the enterprise
right, procure at any cost the best stock
in the market for parent plants. As these
plants vary as much as any other subject
grown extensively, several good strains
are being grown and many indifferent
ones. This matter deserves close atten-
tion. See that the pips you start with
are plump looking and fully up to the
standard in every particular. Plant the
stock in the field and note the source of
each supply, then test some from each
batch by forcingatasuitable time in Win-
ter,and note results, selecting, of course,
for your strain the best only. See that
your forced Howers meet witli the ap-
proval of a critical Horist. If thev meet
such approval, go ahead; if not, go slow
until you procure reliable stock. At any
rate, do not stop at a few dollars here;
\vhen you are selecting your "seed," re-
member this selection is the foundation
of your strain.
.\s before stated, a well drained, porous
soil, which is of such a nature that it can
be easily worked, should be given jirefer-
ence in selecting a location. However,
lily of the valley will grow as well in a
heavy soil, but operating expenses con-
nected with thelatter are greater. Have
the patch selected well enriched and as
free from weeds as possible before you
start, and then keep it so.
The pips are planted 4 inches apart in
the rows, about 2 inches under the sur-
face of tlie soil and fairly well packed
about the roots. The rows shouUl be as
closeas consist entwith the frw use of the
wheel hoe. that is, in sandy soil the rows
can be closer than in heavy soil. 'I'his
tact will beundeistood when once tried.
The best time for planting is October, or
when the ground is moist emmgh to
work properly in the Autumn. November
or December will serve first rate.
After the pips are planted and the
668
Thb Pl-orists* Exchttngb.
ground is frozen a good mulch of short
manure should be opplied to protect the
plants against the lifting influence of the
frost during the first Winter, and also to
furnish protection for the young plants
during the first Summer season after
planting.
In the Spring and Summer' seascms all
the care ueeded will be to'keep the sur-
face of the earth stirred and worlsed sutfi-
ciently to keep down the weeds. The
young plants pull out readily the first
Summer, while you remove large weeds;
therefore don't let the weeds get large.
The succeeding Winter no mulch will be
required, and through the second Sum-
mer all the work necessary is sinipl.y to
keep the field free from weeds, and in (Oc-
tober, November or December dig up the
dormant plants, cart them to a shed
where they can be sorted and trimmed.
Cut out and sort the pips with well de-
veloped flower buds, which then can be
tied in bunches of a suitable size ready
for the market. The trimmings or flower-
less pips are now trimmed up ready to
plant, which is done by removing all un-
necessary roots and all side branches,
leaving only the main bud to each plant.
The underground stem to which this bud
is attached should also be shortened
down to about 3 inches. This prevents,
in a measure, too great branching. The
effort is, under the two years' s.vstera, to
force all the strength of the plant into
this central bud, having it ready for mar-
ket after two years' growth.
When these pips are prepared as above
stated, they can then at once be plant-
ed in the field as described tor tlic jiarent
stock. If not ready to plant tln' young
pips at once, be sure to cover them with
moist sand, or earth, as the vitality is
impaired by long exposure.
A three-year system has itsadvantages
in giving less work and a greater yield of
flowering size pips, bnt an objection is,
that the matted row is harder to keep
clean. It does not pay to leave the field
undisturbed any more than three years;
but I have yet to observe any tempta-
tion in the shape of a dull market for the
European growers to leave the field in-
tact for a greater length of time, and
have not attempted the cultivation of
this plant here on a large enough scale to
definitely determine this point. For suc-
cession a new batch shoidd be planted
every year.
In summing up, I hold that the im-
portant points to watch are:
( 1 ) Get a good strain planted on a
suitable plot of ground.
(2) Keep that ground clean; give the
plants space enough and years enough
for development.
(3) And when digging and preparing
for market, select for yourcustomersonly
what is sure to bloom. If inexperienced,
get experience by dissecting a few plants
and you will soon learn to tell by a touch
which pips will bloom for certain.
This last point has perhaps more to do
with the success of the euterprise than all
the rest together. When good care is
taken, on each point, there can be no
doubt then but what the culture can as
well be carried on in America as in
Europe. A. E. W.
A Floral Inscription.
At one time I was pastor in a village
where there was a German undertaker
who ^vas always anxious to please. Be-
cause of his zeal in this direction and his
habit of so often getting things backward
he was the butt of a good many jokes,
and furnished others many a hearty
laugh. One day a customer of his asked
him to telephone the florist in a nearby
city to send a floral design representing
" Gates Ajar." He hurried to the 'phone,
and, calling up the florist, said he wished
a floral design. The florist asked what
kind. He was puzzled, but not defeated,
and after some delay said: "Oh! yes,
now I got him. Heaven wide open.
That's what they want." — The Homiletic

A California Flower Beetle
Injurious to Roses.
During the past Summer a species of
flower beetle, known as Hoplia callipyge
Lee, and native to California, has been
observed by Mr. Schwarz to be very de-
structive to roses at Fresno, Cal., and
vicinit.y. From that gentleman we have
also received specimens of the woi'k of the
insect, which show that it is capable of
quite serious injury to flowers, but is
hardly such a pest as the rose-chafer,
Macrodactylus subspinosus, of the East.
It is quite probable, since injury by this
species of Hoplia to roses has not been
given much attention by entomologists
in available enrly reports and bulletins,
that injury was not noticed until recently,
but is on the increase, and will probably
continue to multiply and spread, since
most insects which feed upon wild roses,
when they acquire a taste for cultivated
ones, prefer the latter.
This species was recorded in volume V
of Insect Lite (p. 34.3) to be doing much
damage to the young fruit buds and blos-
soms of the Muscat grape in vineyards in
Fresno County, Cal. Tlie insect was rec-
ognized as a yearly visitor, appearing in
Hoplia callipyge
Female. Four times natural size (original).
Spring, and up to the time of writing,
May 17, 18!»3, was known only as an
enemy of rose leaves, doing much dam-
age to the young buds. The beetles were
said to be very numerous, in some vine-
yards as many as hundreds to a single
vine; in one case about three acres were
completely stripped of buds. The beetles
« ere also preseut on rose bushes about
dwellings.
A second correspondent in Ihe same
county wrote of similar injury to roses
and to grapes at about the same time, a
fact which has been briefly mentioned on
page 386 of volume VII of the same pub-
lication.
This Hoplia is one of 12 described spe-
cies, all of similar size, resembling each
other more or less closely. They are ob-
long flattened beetles, with the body more
or less completely covered with flat
scales. H. callipyge belongs to a group
in which the posterior clawsarenot cleft,
and in which the anterior angles of the
thorax are obtuse, and the hairs are long-
on the thorax, elytra, and pygidium. It
is rather dark brown above and incom-
pletely covered with much lighter grayish
brown scales on the elytra. The under
surface and pygidium are densely coated
with small, pale grayish, brilliantly iri-
descent scales. The legs are reddisli and
sparsely covered on the femora with
similar scales.
The length is a little less than three-
sixteenths of an inch {7-'.)mm).
The males, as frequently happens in
this genus, differ from the females con-
siderably in appearance. They are usu-
ally smaller and so much darker as to
look like distinct species. The color of
the male is quite dark brown, and the
scales are less evident than in the female.
1'his species appears to be restricted to
California, and to be most abundant in
the southern portion of that state. The
list of localities from which we have re-
ceived this species or reports of its occur-
rence includes Los Angeles, Selma, Placer
Couuty, Fresno, Keru County, Lake
Tahoe and Sacramento.
Some interesting observations upon
this species were made by Mr. Schwarz,
who communicated a portion of them to
the writer. It appears from his state-
ment that roses are most badly injured,
from half a dozen toahundred individuals
occuring on a single flower. The insect
is rather generally known In California
as rose-bug, and even as the rose-chafer,
being mistaken by some for the Eastern
rose feeding Macrodactylus. A singular
and unaccountable fact is that the beetles
are very strongly attracted to white and
other light-colored roses, such as yellow
and pink ones, and to light reds, but the
dark reds are, according to observation,
entirely exempt from attack. The beetles
bore into and through the roses, com-
pletely destroying them. The flowers of
the calla are always destroyed,the beetles
occurring on them by hundreds. It seems
that there is something about this plant
—whether the petals or the long yellow
spadi.x — that is poisonous to the beetles,
and they die and collect with other in-
sects in decaying masses in the deep calyx
of the.se flowers. Whether or not in this
condition they furnish nourishment for
the plant remains to be ascertained. The
flowers of magnolia, olive, and of vari-
ous native plants, of which there are not
many in the grape-growing regions, are
also attacked, the list including late-
blooming willow s,lupines,and eschscholt-
zias. As a rule, this species of Hoplia
occurs too late, at least in the neighbor-
hood of Fresno, to do much injury to the
flowers of grape, and the same is true of
orange. In fact, on the latter plant it is
possible that the beetles areof some bene-
fit in reducing the surplus of blooms and
thus improving the fruiting. Figs, it
might be mentioned, because they have
no flowers, are exempt from attack.
No damage by this species in the larval
stage has been observed, and it seems
probable that, although the insects may
attack the roots and rootlets of grow-
ing vegetation, they subsist mainly
upon that which is dying or decayed,
and, to a certain extent, also upon soil
humus, which contains an excess (if de-
composing vegetable matter. In tliis re-
spect it is probable that it resembles the
habits of our eastern rose-chater, Ma-
crodactylus subspinosus, although the
habits of this latter are not perfectly
known. Mr. Schwarz observed that, in
spite of the frequent plowing to which
the ground is subjected about I'resno,
it has little effect upon the emergence of
the beetles, presumably because they pass
through their transfoimations so deeply
in the soil that the plow does not reach
them. W'here the ground is not plowed
it may often be found fairly honeycombed
where the beetles have made their exit.
The beetles have been observed to crawl
back into these holes, presumably for
oviposition, and this seems to be a natu-
ral habit. Unfortunately, the pressure of
other work at the time these observa-
tions were made prevented Mr. Schwarz
from continuing his investigations.
EEMEniES.
Until we learn more of the life history
of this species we can only suggest ob-
servations of the same line of remedial
and preventive treatment prescribed in
the case of the rose-chafer in Circular No.

For Sterilizing Soils.
R. W. Cartter, manager of the River-
dale market garden in West Springfield,
has out on the market an invention
which promises to come into general use
for sterilizing soils poisoned by the con-
tinuous growth of one kind of crop for a
number of years. It is especially appli-
cable to greenhouse plants, but may also
be applied successfully to outside soils. In
brief, the machine consists of a system of
steam pipes, which are protected from
the soil by means of sacking windings.
They are pierced with holes to allow the
steam to escape. The dirt to be sterilized
is heaped over this and the steam turned
on. It is claimed that the rapid steriUzer
subsoil and surface irrigator will steriUze
1,000 cubic feet of soil at a temperature
of 200 degrees Fahrenheit, at a cost of
$1.50, including the placing of the
machine in position, fuel and labor. Mr.
Cartter has been at work on the device
since February, when he was puzzling
over some trouble which he had experi-
enced at that time with poor soils. A
poor substitute for the present system
had been in use, and Mr. Cartter conceived
the complete idea of his present machine
by accident. He has had the Invention
patented, and expects to be very success-
ful in introducing it. Professor G. E.
Stone and Professor R. E. Smith of the
Hatch Experiment Station at the State
Agricultural College, W. W. Kawson, a
large market gardener of Arlington, and
J. A. Budlong & Sou, of Providence, all
send glowing testimonials of the entire
success of the machine. AH of these have
several in use, with the exception of the
agricultural college. The professors, how-
ever, witnessed exhaustive tests of tTasP
machine.
Mr. Cartter's machine, besides perform^
ing its primary function, is also an excel-
lent Irrigating machine, as it distributes t
the water evenly on the land where
placed. It is portable in sections, the
weight of no section exceeding four
pounds. Four machines will sterilize in
one day a greenhouse 300 feet long and
50 feet wide, producing a temperature ol
210 degrees Fahrenheit, to the depth ol I;
one foot. This method is applicable to
the following diseases: The drop rhizoc-
tonia in lettuce, the timber rot in cucum-
bers, and the stem rot on carnations,
parsleyand watercress. Thereare proba-
bly fungus diseases which can be success-
fully treated by this method, which also
succeeds in ridding the soil of many
noxious insects such as the red spider,
aphis, etc. It can also be applied to the
nematode, or eel-worm trouble of many
greenhouse plants. The efficient manner
in which the seeds of weeds are destroyed
by the heating of the soil in itself demon-
strates the practicability of soil steriliza-
tion. It is well established that steriliza-
tion of the soil has a beneficial effect upon
the growth and development of plants,
aside from any consideration of disease.
The reason of this is that humus com-
pounds are rendered more available. For
this reason the sterilization method will
probably be of value in the cultivation of
such crops as mushrooms. The chief
drawback in the application of this treat-
ment has, heretofore, been the difiiculty
and expense of applying steam to the
soil in an effective and economical man-
ner. Tobacco growers, as well as florists
are finding this system of great use in
propagating beds, in destroying weed
seeds and angle worms. Mr. Cartter
raises lettuce to a great extent, and his
experience is noteworthy. Lettuce 17
days older than lettuce grown in thesteril-
izeil soil was found to be only about one-
fourth of the size of the latter when ready
to be picked. The lettuce grown in the
sterilized soil was the size of a small cab-
bage and beautifully tender, while that
from the soil which had not been treated
was comparatively stunted.— Springfield,

G. E. Stone, of the Hatch Experiment
Station of the Massachusetts Agricultu-
ral College, at Amherst, Mass., to the
foregoing statements, and he kindly furn-
ishes an interesting communication on
the subject, which wiU appear in a future

Tbe wholesale cut flower business
D this city is this early suffering from
hat Summer feeling which does not usu-
illy occur until about the first of July.
riiVre seems to be about the usual
imount of trade gomg among the retail-
•rs, Init the backward Spring has caused
I vast (luaiitity of hardy flowers to be
ust late eniiugli to strike most of the
Tune weddings, and the limited ilemand
or the greenhouse product is a natural
■esult.
With the exception of special American
rieauty there is practically no fixed value
)n roses. A good supply ot almost all
varieties is coming in, and a fair propor-
;ion of the stock is clean and good for the
Jme of tlie year. It is impossible, how-
.'ver, to realize anything but very low
prices— $.5 per 1,000 for straight slijis is
■onsidercd a good sale and mildewed
itdck will not bring even that figure. The
ihiindunce of General .lacqueminot
roses just now is militating against the
.iiile of other kinds. This variety is so
plentiful that it is freely offered every day
at 25c. and 3oc. per 100. Tlie effect this
has on the maiket will readily be seen, as
the outdoor floweris always the favorite
when to be had.
.Although the rose sales may be said to
he in a bad way, they do not begin to
compare with the glutted conditions that
are prevailing with carnations. These are
coming in ipiite plentifully and are in the
main of good (piality, but there is abso-
lutely no demand for them. Good, ordin-
ary sorts are offered at 25c. per 100, and
where a buyer can be persuaded to take
quantities, they are given at a much
lower figure.
Kancy varieties have been disposed ot
at $5 per 1,000, and there are piles of
all grades of carnations lying around
that it is impossible to sell. Of course,
there are at times a few fancies sold that
bring a little more than the prices men-
tioned, but tliese flowers are so few in
number that they do not constitute a
drop in the bucket, when compared with
the vast quantity of carnations that are
thrown on the market every day.
t'attleyas are also feeling the effects of
the dull" market. I'lenty of them are to
be had, and good blooms are freely offered
at $2," per loO. Lily of the valley is one
of tlie staples for which there is a better
demand, and the ruling figures are from
$2 to isH according to quality. There is
also a fair call for .some of the finer varie-
ties of gladiolus, and these occasionally
bring S'i per 100; the ordinary run of
gladiolus, liowever, are fetching but 3c.
and 4c. White marguerites are at a
standstill, owing to field daisies being so
abundant just now. Yellow marguerites
are doing about as well as last week,
realizing .'')0c. per 100. Pa-onies, stocks,
cornflowers, sweet peas and Spanish iris
are abundant, and are disposed of at
whatever figure the buyers will offer,
there being no fixed market value upon
them, .\6paragus has taken a drop also,
something that has not occurred before
in a good many months. Smilax has
got down to 75c. per dozen strings, and
adiantum to 25c. and 50c. per 100 fronds.
I.ongiflorum lilies are still on hand but
are not much needed at present, and can
be bought at $1 to f 2 per 100. Callas
are bringing from $2 to $3 per 100 and
are not very plentiful.

varieties, Wm. Kleinheinz, gardener to
P. A. B. Widener, Esq., was first; Thomas
Jloran, gardener to H. P.. Rosengarten,
Esq., second; and John McCleary, gar-
dener to Wm. Weightman, Esq., third.
For three vases 12 blooms each, prize
offered by Miss Rhodes, Wm. Robertson,
gardener to John W. Pepper, Esq., was
first; Francis Canning, gardener to
Samuel T. Bodine, Esq., second.
Best eight varieties, three blooms each,
prize given by Mrs. Holstein De Haven,
Wm. Kleinheinz took first, and Wm.
Robertson sec<ind.
Dr. Robert Huey staged a collection of
roses not for competition. Among these
was Her Majesty, a variety now seldom
seen, but which is grown by Dr. Huey
fully as good as when first introduced iu
1888.
In the classes for strawberries there
were only five exhibitors, it being a tew
days late tor choice fruit around Phila-
delphia. Joseph McGregor staged some
good fruit of varieties New York and
Gladstone. Joseph Haywood, Ambler,
Pa., exhibited some grand berries of sev-
eral new varieties. Henry Clapsadle,
gardener to S. Wilson Fisher, Esq., show-
ed Parker Earle and Enormous. This
latter variety is true to name; the
berries were ugly, large, and entirely unfit
tor table use.
The prizes offered for sweet peas were
mostly .carried off by Ernest Schrie-
ber, gardener to Wm. L. Elkius, Esq.,
who staged 25 varieties, all standard
sorts, very good tor this season. All
these were started in pots and then
planted out later. So far there are no
sweet peas in bloom, that were sown iu
the open ground, in this locality.
The Marliet.
Cut flower business is quiet, funeral
work forming tbe principal part of the
trade done. All varieties of roses are of
poor quality, and are becoming gradually
smaller.
Convention talk is getting more general
every da.v. Several ot our members have
secured rooms, and prospects are for a
good delegation from this city.

Trade Conditions.
Itusiness last week was quite lively _
owing to the closing of the different
schools, which called for quite a lot of
shower bouciuets and flowers tor various
purposes. This week trade seems to
have settled down to the Summer stand-
ard. Roses are ot poor quality generally,
though some tew good ones are seen at
from 2c. to 5c. Carnations are suffering
from the intense heat; but up to this last
hot spell they had been good. They sell
at from 75c. to $1.50^ per 100. Some
ver.y nice Lilium candidum are in and sell
at $1 per dozen stalks. Sweet peas are
very plentiful, going at as low as $1 per
1,000 in large lots. Smilax is abundant
and good at 15c.
The green market is relieved again by
the arrival of new fancy terns that bring
$2 per 1,000.
Bedding is a thing ot the past; and all
liands are busy straightening up their
houses and planting roses, chrysanthe-
mums, etc.
Quite a number will probably go to the
convention, and It is certainly to their in-
terest to do so, as we are to have a
World's Fair here, and no doubt valuable
pointers can be picked up by viewing the
Buffalo exhibits.
Club Meeting.
About a. score of local florists on
Thursday last journeyed, or rather flew,
by electricity across the America bottom,
celebrated for its vast fields ot early po-
tatoes, cabbage and kindred products,
(which,bv theway,look inelegant shape)
to the thriving little city of Belleville,
111., where quite a contingent of the craft
reside, who look to .St. Louis for their
principal market, and who belong to the
St. Louis Florists' Club. These gentle-
men turned out in full force to do honor
to their St. Louis brethren, and in conse-
(luence a nice crowd assembled in the
bright and airy rooms of the Commercial
Club, kludy placed at our disposal,
through the influence of Dr. Halstead.
The reportof the chrysanthemum show
committee was received. The commit-
tee is trying hard to establish a fund to
guarantee all prizes offered, and, so far,
with a reasonable degreeof success. The
resignation of F. W. i:de, Jr., was received
with regret. Mr. Ude was considered one
of our most valued members. Dr. Hal-
stead, for the Picuic Committee, reported
they had decided to have the picnic at
Priester's Park, on July IS. This park
is on the line of one of the Belleville elec-
tric roads. All florists and their friends
are cordially invited to attend. Just
board a car and go and come when you
please.
Harry Balsley was present and gave
the club some very interesting details in
regard to chrysanthemum shows in De-
troit, and theresultsof the florists' efforts
there in creating an interest in th eexhibi-
tion among the school children. He also
spoke of the clever way they had in Indi-
anapolis in managing tlieir shows. There,
it seems, the merchants and citizens co-
operate with the fiorists and success is
guaranteed from the start.
Two essays were on the program, but
both essayists failed to materialize.
R. J. Mohr exhibited several vases of
very well grown sweet peas, and received
honorable mention for same.
Votes of thanks were tendered Mr.
Balsley for his remarks and the Commer-
cial Club for the use of its apartments.
After the meeting a number of members
adjourned to a nearby bowling alley,
where a game was rolled and a very nice
lunch served. C. C. .S.

The Market.
There lias been little or no change
in l)iisiness coQtlitions the past week.
Tlie retail city trade is very light yet,
though commencements and graduations
come along the latter part of this week
and next.
Everything is in good supply, which is
on the increase, while the general quality
is getting rather below the standai-d.
The supply of roses on the market has
been augiaented this week by a fair
quantity of General .Tacqueminot from
outside. American Beauty holds out
fairly well, as do Liberty and Kaiserin
Augusta Victoria, but Bride and Brides-
maids are becoming poor in quality.
Prices do notchange a great deal. Kai-
serin Augusta Victoria run from $2 to $8
per 100. Beauty and Liberty of special
grade as high as $20 per 100, though
many very good ones are sold at $10 and
$12.!50 per 100, which grades are really
more in demand than the larger ones.
Carnations have become very plentiful
and quotations are uncertain. In the
morning prices range from 50c. to 25c.
per 100, depending on the iiuautity and
the salesman's ability : while in the after-
noon $1 to $1.50 per 1,000 are the ruling
figures at which many are cleaned out.
Fancy carnations, of course, make better
prices— up to $1.50 for Mrs. Bradt, but
when this variety Is bought in quantity,
very ofteu lower values are realized.
PiEonies are very plentiful and move
slowly at $1.50 to $2. Sweet peas are
abundantat25c.per lOOfor best quality.
There are quantities of marguerites, core-
opsis, cornflower, etc.
Class Da.v at Harvard occurred on the
21st, occasioning quite a little decorative
work.
News Jottings.
This week another of the craft at
the Flower Market has joined the Bene-
dicts. Herman H. Bartsch, W. W. Edgar's
popular salesman, married Miss Marie
Fleischer, of Somerville, on Sunday even-
ing. Mr. and Mrs. Bartsch are now
spending their honeymoon at the Pan-
American in Buffalo.

yacht in commission again this season.
He and a few friends enjoyed the holiday
Monday aboaril, and it is said the anni-
versary of the battle of Bunker Hill was
fittingly observed.
The Boston ferns at Wm. A. Bock's
place at North Cambridge, are very flue
indeed this season. He is busy shipping
them now, also Asparagus plumosus and
A. Sprengeri, of which he has a very fine
stock. Outside a lot of General .Jacque-
minot roses are just coming in. A few
especially fine Crimson Ramblers are
throwing up immense, strong shoots.

A J une Flower Show.
The first attempt at holding a .June
flower show by the Florists' Club was a
grand success, the exhibition being well
patronized by the best class of people.
It required a good deal of hard work to
make all arrangements, but every one in-
terested in the flower trade gave willing
help.
Flowers came in from every source be-
yond the expectation of all, and the large
hall was overfilled. The following are
the names of those from a distance who
kindly sent flowers for exhibition: Wm.
K. Smith, of the Botanic Gardens at
Washington, a fine collection of hardy
blooms, roses, orchids and magnolias;

A new species of Crataegus durobioensis
came from Rochester, N. Y. G.M.I^augh-
lln sent some fine varigated jilants and
a lielia in bloom. The collection of
hardy roses grown in our vicinity was
mucli admired and many names were
noted by the visitors; in fact, the public
took much interest in the whole display.
Tlie expense of the show will be paid
by the Florists' Club, and will be consid-
erable, but good results can be expected
from the exhibition in the future.
E. C. Reineman.
Worcester, Mass.
The regular weekly exhibitions of the
Worcester County Horticutural Society
opened on Thursday last with a very
nice display of flowers and vegetables
considering that the season is fully from
two to three weeks behind, owing to bo
much cold and rainy weather. Nearly
one half of the exhibit was composed of
wild flowers and the competition was
close, there being 12 exhibitors. One
party had 90 varieties. A few tree
pseonies, azaleas, tulips, lilac, honey-
suckle and narcissus comprised the
balance of the display.
We have no settled weatheryet. Trade
was first-class Memorial Day, and every-
thing in tlie shape of good flowers were
sold. J.

The Market.
Yei-y little can be said regarding:
business. Tlie Summer dullness seems to
have struck the whole country at the
same time. Plenty o( good carnations
are to be had, but the ciuality of roses is
poor, thev being badly mildewed and
very small. Sweet peas are very fine;
but it matters not as to quality when
there is no demand. Outdoor flowers are
about done for, and this fact will proba-
bly increase the demand by the latter part
of the week.
Last week this section of the country
was visited b.T a severe hail storm which
covered a space of about one-half mile in
width. Only one florist was caught—
Adam Frank, of Westwood, who suffered
about $300 worth of damage. Many
market gardeners had hotbed sash
broken, and lots of damage was done to
potatoes and other outside crops.
Many of the florists in this section have
thrown out their roses and are busy get-
ting ready for replanting, tjuite a num-
ber are making plans to go to Buffalo,
and if satisfactory rates can be secured a
nice party will leave this city for the con-
vention. ' Of course, the regular fare of
rate and third can be obtained all right.
but it would seem that the railroads
ought to beat that rate in August to the
great Pan-American.
Ed. Lester, bookkeeper tor J. M. Mc-
Culloughs Sons, and Miss Nellie Lindsay,
formerly with the same firm, stole a
march on their many friends and are now
Mr. and Mrs. Lester. Congratulations
are in order. E. G. Gillett.
Chicago.
state of Trade.
There is no diminution in the vast
quantities of all kinds of stock sent to
this market, and very low prices rule for
by far the greater part of all that is
brought in. The pa?ony displays in
the commission houses remind one of
chrysanthemum time in the Fall. Peo-
nies are here daily by the tens of thou-
sands, plenty of fair stock going at from
$1 to $2 per 100, and lots below. Well-
handled Drop white, one variety a deli-
cate shade of pink, and the rose fragrant,
fetched from 40c. to .50c. per dozen. Mixed
lots are the ones that suffer. The late-
ness of the season is responsible for the
glut, bringing in the crop after Decoration
week. Roses show signs of the hot
weather. The best American Deauty go
at from $1..50 to $2.50 per dozen. Of
teas but tew are sold above $3 to $4;
with fair stock at $1 to $2. Very heavy
receipts of carnations are arriving. Lots
sent in are not disbudded; these goat
5c. to 10c. per bunch; the best at $1 to
$2. A few Lilium auratum are showing
up, but hardlv enough to sell well. Many
belated longiflorum lilies are seen yet.
Callas.now nearly over, have been money
makers this year. Oxeye daisies and
pond lilies add to the variety. Sweet
peas are abundant at all prices from 50c.
for the very choice down to 20c. per 100.
Smilax is of poor quality again, but the
demand is not heavy.
Henry Payne, of Hindsdale, hereafter
proposes making a specialty of aspara-
gus, smilax and adiantuni.

City Gardener I'aul IL Rajip has
aliout finished the planting of scjuares
and small parks. As there are (|Uite a

The Trade.
A review of the trade i-ouilitione for
the past Spring can be summed up In one
word — good. Notwithstanding theeold,
wet weather that has prevailed, there
has been a satisfactory demand forstock,
and in some instances the supply has been
short.
Until this year there was always a call
for coleus and other bedding plants for
the city parks and squares. As the city
undertook to grow its own plants this
demand has dropped, but this fact did
not seem to have any appreciable effect
on the market.
Cut flowers have been in good demand
right along, until the recent gluts mate-
rialized.
June Wedding.
•S. Feast & Sons had the Harrison-
Baker wedding decorations which were
very elaborate and effective. It was a
daisy wedding. The church decoration
was a very prominent feature. Columns
at each pew along the central aisle, with
large bunches of lilies and daisies, tied
with long streamers of white ribbon,
made the most telling effect. The large
palms ol this firm afforded impressive
decorations for the chancel, a framework
of roses and lilies, on the lines of the
Gothic style of the church, adding to the
color scheme of the whole. The interior
of the house was literally covered with
flowers. As oneentered the hall the stair-
case decoration along the railing was ex-
ceptionallv effective, consisting of huge
pink and white [p.'pouies. The columns
in the hall were very beautifully festooned.
Cocos plumosus and C. KomanzofBana
were employed. The tall growth of this
latter palmmade it most useful for deco-
rations of the corners in the different
rooms. Thewall decorations were formed
of pockets filled with Bridesmaid roses;
a garland effect along the sides, near the
ceiling, as a frieze, ending in the wall
pockets, gave the whole a fine finish.
The mantel in the drawing room was
adorned with Adiantum Farleyense and
Roliert Scott roses, which made a
grand combination. The bower of roses
(Bride), so arranged on a tree as to
create a natural effect of a large, grow-
ing rose tree, produced a novel decora-
tion. Rosa multiflora, in large sprays,
in the corners and over bookcases in the
library, with wild laurel, made a pleas-
ing display. The whole decoration
showed superior taste.
News Notes.
Theodore Eckardt has left for
.Japan, to take a position with Boehmer
&Co.
Very little building is contemplated
around this city this year, owing to the
great advance in the price of material.
Mr. Eilers, of St. I'etersburg, paid us a
hurried visit the other day. He was
much impressed with some of our estab-
lishments.
The boTS are getting ready for Buffalo.

Novelties.
Impromptu Adflrfss by IV. ./. Manflerille be-
fore American Seed Trade Association at
Ilocliester, June 13, 1901.
When I saw the official program, with
the heartins of "Novelties" assigned to
nie, upon which to write a paper, it was
considerable of a surprise. 1 had been
aslsed at the Executive Committee meet-
ing to suggest a topic for discussion, but
I do not believe that T covered anything
quite as broad as "Novelties"* as a
whole. It takes a man of considerable
temerity to attack thatsubject: it covers
a great ileal of ground. It may be con-
sidered from a good many different view
points. I noticed that yesterday your
Committee on Nomenclature, which prac-
ticall.v covered the ground of "Novelties,"
had been finally discharged, after being
in existence a number of .years and hav-
ing accomplished no particular results,
as naturally there could not be.
The thought that was in my mind, and
which I tried at that time to express,
was this: Concerningthe question of re-
cent introductions, is there not some
way, some agreement that can be arrived
at among the trade, by which, when a
seedsman of reputation and standing,
either of this countr.v or of Europe, has
produced a novelty, the renaming of it
b.v others can be avoided ? Within the
past two years, to my knowledge, novel-
ties have come out which have subse-
quently been listed under six or seven
names by other seedsmen, all the stock
being from one and the same original, as
was ampl.v proven upon tlie trial
grounds. Now, the question with me is,
why shoulil not seedsmen refrain from
the abuse of this practice, and be a little
more courteous one to the other? They
seem to be the only class of men that are
ready at all times to cut one another's
throats; theyare notwilling to give any
seedsman, no matter what may be his
reijutation, whethei" of this country or
of Europe, credit for his legitimate pro-
ductions. The.v want to give everything
some other than its own name, to call it
"improved," or something of that kind,
which simply misleads the public, and,
in my mind, results in no benefit to the
seed trade, while being a constant pre-
mium on deterioration of original strain.
There is another point in connection
with this, and that is. that I do not be-
lieve there is any other business in the
United States of the magnitude of the
seed business that has not some organi-
zation pulling for mutual benefit. Meet-
ings for social intercourse, or for discus-
sion of pertinent subjects, are good
things, but merely as such they do not
tend to enhance a man's business, or en-

would like to see it. But I would like to
urge the greatest courtesy among all

connection witli this matter of renaming
varieties is, whether the things produced
by reputable seedsmen of Europe and
America could not be listed by all the
seedsmen in the United .States under the
names by which they were originally
brought out; and as to novelties intro-
duced by seedsmen in this country, that
an exchange of novelties be agreed to,
you might say. Mr. Childs. for instance,
has this year a novelty which he consid-
ers of merit, and he first offers it to the
trade, provided he has stock enough; it
should then, the first year, be offered by
the trade to the public with the intro-
ducer's description. After that, if there
be anything that the seedsman getting
it desires to modify as to description, he
may ilo so; but make an exchange of
novelties in that way, giving each man
credit for what he produces. It would
seem to me that by doing this the multi-
plication of names and the necesssity for
a great deal of work being done on "trial
grounds simply to ascertain what is
beng sold, could be avoided.
We must, of course, keep up trial
grounds in the seed business, in order to
know what our stocks are, and what we
are selling, and it is also necessary to
keep track of the novelties that come out
from year to year, and prove their merit,
or otherwise. Reputable seedsmen do
not want to put anything on the market
until they know what it is; but I think
tliere is a class of men that can he trust-
ed, as I have said, when they offer some-
thing to the public— those whose reputa-
tion would be a certain guarantee of the
quality of the novelty; and that we
might rely upon their representations as
to the article. And I believe that, by the
observance of this courtesy, this mutual
exchange of novelties, and giving the in-
troducer credit, the sales of anything we
might have in that line would be in-
creased, and the buciness relations of all
the seedsmen in this way be made more
pleasant.
Thus far was my thought in the way
of "novelties.'' I submit the subject to
you, gentlemen, for consideration. I
think that the seedsmen of this body
might give the matter due weight, ami
that it may be carried further into the
Seedsmen's League, and, through com-
mittees, to those outside.
I hope to see, some time, so close a rela-
tionship among all seedsmen that they
will work togetlier for mutual benefit
and profit, and that their business may
be given the standing in the United States
which it deserves. (Applause.)

Tjate Flowers on Hydrangeas. —
Those who have a good stock of Hy-
drangea paniculata grandiflora plants
would, it is presumed, prefer to have the
tlowering season a prolonged one. This
can be accomijlished by pinching off the
ends of the young shoots now. The re-
sult of such work is to cause two or more
shoots to take the place of those pinched
off, and these plants flower later than
those not so topped. As two or three
shoots take the place of one, the flower
heads are not as large as the one would
have been, but they are some weeks later,
which is often much desired by those who
have to use flowers.
Mulberr.T Stocks. — Nurserymen's cus-
tomers frequently refer to the knotty
condition of the " stem " or stock on
which the Teas' Weeping Mulberry is
grafted. The trouble comes from the
difficult.v in getting the Morus alba, the
stock generally used, to produce a clean,
strong shoot from the base, and many of
the stocks used are two .years in reaching
the height usuall.v desired — say Ave to
six feet. This could be obviated by tak-
ing a fairly strong young tree and cutting-
it down nearly to the ground, as is done
with budded fruit trees. The result
would be a young, vigorous shoot, which
would reach the desired height in a sea-
son, and the treewouhl be free from kinks
and scars, such as a two-year shoot usu-
ally presents.
Another thing is, the Morus alba is not
nearly as vigorous a grower as some
others. Take, for instance, the Russian,
and the wild one, rubra, found in our
woods. Both are very much stronger,
and cut down in the wa.v suggested,
would give fine, straight shoots for the
purpose of grafting. While on the sub-
ject of mulberries, a word as to the
merits of the everbearing one will not be
out of place. It is a real good thing, I
have in mind the Downing's. The fruit is
very large, red, commencing to ripeu at
the close of June, and continuing until
the end of August. Some varieties of
the common Italian sort, Morus Moretti,
will do almost as well, but the fruit is of
insignificant size alongside of the Down-
ing's.
Layering Shruhs and Tree.o. — This
is the season of the year when nurseiw-
men start la.vering trees and shrubs.
To get good subjects for layering, it is
usually the best plan to cut down
to near the ground those it is desired
to layer, doing the cutting down iu
earl.v Spring, before growth starts. The
result is, that numerous shoots spring
from the base, rendering the layering of
them acomparatively easy matter. When
these fresh growths have made length
enough to layer, which they accomplish
usually by theend of .June, the work may
proceed. Some shrubs which continue
growing for a great while, making
lengthy shoots, may be layered twice.
Put the first one down now; in a few
weeks there will be length enough made
for another, and it is not uncommon to
find three or more made from such sub-
jects as hydrangea and some fast grow-
ing vines.
To those inexperienced it is recom-
mended to slit every layer, but after a
season's work it will be seen which %vili
root without slitting, as roots will be
made from other parts buried. The hy-
drangea generally roots ver.y well with-
out slitting, , as do most all running vines,
and an occasional tree and shrub.
Prejiare some good, sandy, enriched
soil, and have it handy to cover the
shoots as they are buried, as this facili-
tates rooting.
A few subjects are the better for re-
maining attached to the parent plant for
two seasons, but most ever.v kind will be
sufficiently rooted to be cut off after the
one season is ended.

Golden Yewe. — At this time of the
year, wheu the younj; g:rowth of ever-
greens is perfecting' itself, that of the
fjolden varieties is particularly charm-
ing. The contrast between the old and
the new is striking, and, in most cases,
pleasing. Golden yews are particularly
handsome now. The last year's growth
is nearly of the normal green color of
yews: the .voung growth rank a golden
yellow — a combination which is ver.y
pleasing. There is a golden variety of
the haccata and of the hibernica, a varie-
ty of tiaccata, both of which are valualile.
That of the hibernica is, I think, the bet^
ter, because of its more upright habit of
growth.
Recently I saw a pair of these golden
upright yewe in pots. They were used
one on each side of a path near a dwell-
ing, in which position they looked well in
place. It is not unusual to see the com-
mon green one so used, its columnar ap-
pearance making it very appropriate.
Were these yews grown on in pots
from year to year, there is reason to
think there would be a good sale for
them. They are not of the shape of the
trimmed up sweet bays, now so much
used, but in many cases their upright,
natural growth would be more in keep-
ing with the situation where something
is desired. To add to their value, they
are hardy; and if a customer desired to
plant one on his grounds, he could do so.

BRIEFS FOR BUSY FLORISTS.
Beoonias. — As Winter-flowering plants,
the begonias are again coming to the
fore, and with the improved varieties
that are obtainable we can have a supply
of flowering plants all Winter long, plants
that can be grown cheap enough to meet
the wantsof any class of customers how-
ever limited their means. There is no
doubt that the splendid satisfaction
afforded by B. Gloire de I^orraine, has
given new impetus to the sales of flower-
ing begonias, and one cannot do better
than devote a bench to this class of
plants to meet the demand that will
surely materialize next Fall and Winter.
If sufficient stock be not already propa-
gated, it is not yet too late to take more
cuttings; these taken now and put in the
sand and kept well shaded will root as
well as at any other time, and can be
grown into nice saleable plants for next
Winter.
Mignonette. — Where this flower is
wanted for Winter use, the beds should
be prepared now. A solid bed in a low
house is the ideal place for it; though
very good spikes can be produced on
raised benches. A good stiff soil suits
mignonette. It will not pay to try and
grow the plants in a light, loose soil.
Give the bed a good dressing of well-
rotted manure, thoroughly mixed with
the soil, and then sow the seeds where
the plants are intended to be grown.
While mignonette can be transplanted
safely, with proper care, this work can
just as well be avoided by putting two
or three seeds together, in rows 18 inches
apart each way, and when the young
plants come up, pull out all but one at
each place. When sowing the seed be
sure that you include some one of the
regular forcing varieties that are now
obtainable. It would be folly, when pre-
paring a bed for Winter flowering, to use
any seed but that of recognized merit, as
it costs just as much to grow a house of
common spikes as it does to grow the
best.
Hartford, Conn.
Trade Conditions.
Weddings and funeral work have
kept the florists busy the past week.
Good roses are scarce and hard to get.
Carnations and sweet peas, all colors, are
abundant.
The bedding plant trade is about over
and has been very satisfactory, most of
the growers having sold out almost
completely.
Club Meeting.
The Florists' Club held its regular
meeting Tuesday, at Elizabeth Park, on
invitation of Treasurer Theo. Wirth,
Superintendent of Public Parks. Two
hours were spent in walking around the
park viewing the rose beds, which are
now in their prime, making a very hand-
some showing. About 50 varieties were
seen, tliose attracting special attention
being Paul Neyron, Captain Hayward,
Fisher Holmes, Anne de Diesbach, Mar-
garet Dickson, Mme. Gabriel Luizet, Abel
Carriere, Marchioness of Londonderry
and Clio. Each variety is arranged in a
row by itself, each row being plainly la-
beled. After the meeting the club was
entertained by Mr. Wirth, and refresh-
ments were served. The afternoon was
thoroughly enjoyed. A vote of thanks
was extended to Air. Wirth.
Man MiShlng:.
Laurence T. Daly, an employe of
John Coombs, has been missing since Fri-
day, June 14, and his family and friends
are quite anxious as to his whereabouts.
He had worked for Mr. Coombs for the
past 15 years, and was a trusted and
valued employe. He is about 30 years
of age, rather stout in build, with smooth
face. When last seeti he had on his work-
ing clothes, and as he did not draw
mone.y due him when he disappeared, it
is not known whether or not he has met
with foul play. Mr. Coombs would like
to receive any information regarding him .
Notes.
.lohn Coombs will commence next
week the erection of two carnation
houses, each 150 feet long.
President T. J. McRonald and Secre-
tary .1. F. Coombs, of the Florists' Club,
returned Sunday from a week's visit to

Trade Items.
Tliere has been more or less stir iu
business the past week, due to gradua-
tions and commencements, but all of this
work will wind up with Saturday's exer-
cises, when more than 3,000 bouquets
will be given by the cit.v of Boston to the
grammarschool graduates. In roses the
demand has been principally' for hybrids
of which there is a good supply on the
market. Ulrich Brunner, General .lacque-
minot, Mme. G. Luizet, Baroness Roths-
child, Mme. Plantier, etc., are all quiteplen-
titul, and move pretty well. Of the roses
from inside Kaiserin Augusta Victoria is
probabl.v the best and meets with most
demand, though American Beauty and
Libert.vhold out remarkably well. Prices
that have ruled the past two or three
weeks are maintained.
Carnations continue very plentiful.
Good Wm. Scott make 50c. per 100, while
Mrs. Frances Joost and other good pink
varieties, and red ones, realize Toe. Good
white sorts are a little scarcer and sell
well at $1. Of course, many carnations
have to be disposed of when in large
quantities, at considerably below the
above prices.
.Sweet peas from outside are coming
along very fast, selling at 20c. to -S5c.
per 100. Pceonies are still very plenti-
ful, but are not in great demand, being
only found useful for largest decorative
work.
The various triennal reunions of Har-
vard graduates, held at the several hotels
this week, occasioned considerable table
work, at nearly all of which crimson was
the prevailing color.; Thomas Stock, of
Dorchester, had a fine lot of General .Jac-
queminot roses at class day and two or
three days before, and cleaned them out
ver.v well, they being about the only
flowers coming very good at this season
which approach the crimson shade.
Here and There.
Hermann Thiemann, of Manchester,
entertained a party of about a dozen of
the Horticultural Club at the magnificent
Summer home of Senator MacMillan, on
Tuesday.
Joseph Fuller entertained a party at
Leominster on Thursday of this week.
Early closing will be in order next
week, and then vacations and conven-
tion will be thought of.
Herman Bartsch returned from his
honeymoon trip Sunday. F. J. N.

C. H. A. Meeting.
The meeting of the Canadian Hor-
ticultural Assoc'histobe held in London,
Ont., on August 5 and 6. A good pro-
gram has been prepared, and cheap rates
secured by our Loudon friends. .411 who
attend will be well cared for. It is ex-
pected to be an extra good meeting, and
being held the same week as the S. A. F.
O. H. meeting at Buffalo, several of the
boys expect to go straight from London
to the Bison City, and so take in both
conventions. The program will be out
in a few days. We hope that as London
is BO near the border, more of our Ameri-
can friends will favor us with their pres-
ence at our meeting than has ever before
been the case. T. M.

(Kil) Setting a Plow Pipe.— Allow
the flow pipe to rise gradually until the
farthest point from the boiler is reached,
then to fall gradually back to the boiler.
(102) Depth of Soil lor Rose
Benches —Please letuBknow the proper
depth of soil in benches for growing roses
— Bride and Bridesmaid, and oblige.
M. n.
— Four inches of soil is considered the
best for growing roses on benches.
(IGH) Pig Manure for Carnations.
—It would not be safe to mix the manure
from the pig stye with soil intended for
carnation culture indoors. Such manure
is very strong, and often very offensive
to the smell; especially would this be the
case if it were used in a greenhouse. We
would advise using it on the land out of
doors.
{Ili4) Strawberry Wilson not Ma-
turing Fruit. — The trouble with the
strawberries arises from their being too
thickly planted in the rows. It is all
right to have the plants reasonably close
together when new beds are made every
second year; but to let them become too
crowded always means a failure of the
crop.
(1G5) Solid Beds for Roses.—
riease give me some advice respecting a
solid bed for roses. Do you claim <i or 7
inches of sandy loam on top of poor,
sandy loam, without proper drainage, is
tlie best way of preparing a bed for roses
that have to remain there two or more
years? — A t; rower.
—If the ground underneath where the
solid bed is to be made is sandy or gra-
velly, no artificial drainage will be neces-
sary. If the bottom is not of a very
gravelly nature, and the rose bed were to
remainpermanent, the best plan will be
to take out the soil three or four inches
deeper, and put in that depth of broken
bricks or stones. This will make a good
permanent drainage, and will also pre-
vent the roots of the roses penetrating
the poor subsoil.
In preparing the soil for a solid bed,
use about one-fifth well-rotted manure
and the other four-fifths of chopped sods.
This will last about as long as any soil
that can be procured.

NEPHROLEPIS WinBOLDlI
HEKE Is a plant of N. WIttboMli lifted from
the bench. After being photographed 40
runners were taken from this plant and
potted up. It is even more prolific than the well-
known Boston fern. It has not only greatly
added beauty and grace but po sesses every
characteristic necessary to make it a money
maker for the small as well as large grower. It
produces with remarkable freedom, grows quickly
into a fine specimen and as a house plant is fully
as tough and lasting as N. Bostoniensis.

Society of American Florists
and Ornamental Horticulturists.
Transportation to Buffalo.
The Trunk Line Association has made
the rate of a round trip for one and one-
third single fare on the certificate plan,
as in the past. The roads outside of the
Trunk Line territory have not yet an-
nounced a rate, but will undoubtedly co-
operate on the same basis.
It was hoped that rates to the public
for the Pan-American Exposition would
be made so low as to make the use of
certificates unnecessary this year, and
for this reason acceptance of the one and
one third rate has been delayed until the
present time, but it is now definitely
settled that the above mentioned rate is
lower than anything that members of
the society are likely to enioj' otherwise.
A special concession, however, has been
made by the Trunk Line Association
whereby members of the S. A. t'., liy
depositing their certificates withthejoint
agent at the Exposition on or before
August 14, and paj-ing the sum of $1,
may obtain an extension of their return
tickets to August 24.
Wm. J. .Stewart, Secretary.
S. A. F.
0. H. National
Charter and Co-operation.
Doubtless the sentiment for horticul-
ture per se was the raisnn d'etre for a
national charter being granted to the
.S. A. F. O. H., with the idea, I suppose,
that the society would become a national
exponent of American horticulture.
Are we now in duty bound to make
the society educational in a larger sense
thau heretofore? With this end in view,
for further development, shall we absorb
all kindred interests, root and branch,
forming a grand Pan-American combine,
astupendous horticultural trust on a par
with steel, Standard oil and other com-
modities.
Howbeit, there are those in the trade
who do notcarearap forthe educational
idea. " Education be hanged," say they.
"It is entirely beyond the limit and scope
of a trade organization. The S. A. F. O.
H. is an association only bound to pro-
tect the bread and butter interests of
trade."
So, so ! Is the national charter, then.to
be simply ornamental? A kind of regalia
or robe of oHice for state occasions?
But whether it mean more or less, the
matteritself certainly reflects great credit
upon ex-President \V. R. Smith, who has
secured the charter despite a presidential
veto of the measure during Grover Cleve-
land's administration. There is a climb-
ing plant in the high woods of .South
America that is commonly known as
" Scotch attorney, " because when it once
gets hold of a thing it never lets go ! Mr.
Smith is not only Scotch but a noble
Scot!
As to co-operation, amalgamation,
affiliation, amelioration, or whatever
term you choose, rose, carnation, chrys-
anthemum societies, seed trade and nurs-
erymen's associations, et al., will proba-
bly first want to view the perspective
"higher plane," proposed for the S. A. F.
before taking the veil. Some are
skeptical that there will be any material
change of administration; others have
financial doubts, and so on. Of course,
it it can be practically demonstrated that
a union will advance kindred interests
the co-operative argumentwould attract
more attention In union there is
strength numerically, but would the mul-
tiplication of interests receive due recom-
pense ?
The question before the house is, just
how to persuade personal interests to be
amenable tor the common weal.
The scheme for co-operation seems to
be about the same as was proposed
several years ago, which failed tor lack
of co-operation. Will a national charter,
that is yet but a name, be suflicient
"boost" to convince correlative organi-
zations against their will? I think it may
be regarded as a settled tact that there
will be a wide difference of opinion.

Canadian Horticultural Association.
The dateof the convention of theabove
association to be held in London, Ont., has
been fixed for Monday and Tuesday, the
5th and 6th Augu^^t, with probably the
the 7th thrown in for recreation and en-
joyment. This date was decided on for
various important reasons, among which
may be mentioned the following, viz. :
The London Old Boys' Association will
have its annual meeting there during the
same week, and there will be cheap rates
from almost all over Canada. The Lon-
don Horticultural Society holds its an-
nual Summer flower show on Tuesday,
August 6. The S. A. F. O. H. holds its
annual convention at Buffalo from the
6th to the 10th August, and members of
the C. H. A. will be able to take iu part
of the S. A. F. O. H. meeting and. of
course, the Pan-American on the same
trip. This seems to be a combination of
fortuitous circumstances that should
make it comparatively easy and inexpen-
sive tor every florist iu Canada to attend
at least his own trade convention, and is
an opportunity which ought to be eager-
ly seized by even the "small man" to
find out the latest ideas and improve-
ments, without which hecannot expect to
meet the demands of his customers for
better things. It leaves him with posi-
tivel.v no excuse for staying at home,
and he will be amply repaid in the future
for the small amount of money spent at
thetime. The program of the convention
will be published shortly and may be had
on application to the secretary, A. H.
Ewing, Berlin, Ont. The opening session
will be at 2.30 p. m., Monday, August .5.
The following program has been de-
cided upon : In the evening there will be
a public meeting at which W. J. Law-
rence, of Miniico, will speak on "The .Ad-
vancement of Horticulture." Other sub-
jects for discussion duringtheconvention
are: "Insects," by Dr. Bethune, of Lon-
don; "The Kelationship o! Retailer and
Grower," by Fred. Brown, of Toronto;
" Are the Latest Introductions in Carna-
tions Profitable?" by E. I. Mepsted,
Ottawa; "What Canbe Added to the
Present List of Cut Flowers to Meet the
Demand for Something Different?" by
Joseph Bennett, Montreal; "Plant Trade
and Prices," by Walter Holt, of Ham-
ilton. A trade exhibit will be held in con-
nection with a flower show by the local
horticultural society.
The Buffalo Convention.
It may be remembered that much ex-
citement and apprehension prevailed in
certain quarters last year regarding the
selection of an Exposition City as the
meeting place of the S. A. F. O. H.; fears
being then entertained that the business
sessions would suffer from the limited at-
tendances which the counter attractions
would surely conduce to. Whether so-
licitude tor the Society's welfare, or the
desire to turn the attention of the mem-
bers to another and, supposedly, more
favorable, but less " attractive" location
as a place ot assembly, vras the impelliug
force prompting the warning, is doubt-
ful; at all events, the Pan-American city
was ultimately selected.
Now, however, in the case of the recent
Nurserymen's Convention at Niagara
Falls, we read that "a rendezvous tor
sightseers is no place for a working con-
vention," and that the cataract and the
Buffalo Exposition served to allure the
members away from the sessions, and
thus detract from their interest. This is
discouraging, and would seem to indicate
the well-groundedness of the expressed
tear, and afford the no doubt exultant
opportunity to emit that meaning ejacu-
lation, " I told you so." Yet the case, as
concerns the florists, is not one without
hope. Our nurserymen friends had so
often decided upon a particular westei'n
city as their meeting place, that their
convention had almost come to be viewed
as a permanent institution there; the
city's attractions, if any, had ceased to
attract; there was nothing new to draw
the delegates from the confines and the
dully routine ot the convention hall, and
so, sensible men that they are, they settled
down to business. But when they were
afforded an opportunity of witnessing
somethingout ot theordinary, naturally,
they embraced that opportunity, and
their meetings appeari'd to suffer by com-
parison more or less exaggerated. Then,
again, as it anticipating what actually
resulted, their program was in nowise
one calculated to bring out their best
" staying qualities," iu the meetingroom.
On the other hand, the S. A. F. O. H. ]
is a mobile body; it does not believe in a
one-town meeting place. Its members
have become so accustomed to sight-see-
ing that they look upon the attractions
of each city visited as a matter of course,
never allowing the magnetism ot these
features to draw them away from the
more important work connected with
their assembling together. Such will
doubtless be the case this year. Besides,
there is a most interesting program to
be carried out, an item of not the least
significance being the discussion of closer
affiliation with the "co-operative" socie-
ties. Other subjects of great practical
value; illustrated lectures; a superior
trade exhibit, etc., and, finally, a da.v set
apart for the exploration of the Pan-
American, its landscape features, its elec-
trical and architectural wonders; and
its Midway seductions, will all, in con-
tradistinction to the nurserymen's pro-
gram, hold the delegates to the S. A. F.
O. H. convention strictly to business
during business hours; something from
which they have never yet swerved. Ex-
position or no Exposition.
With an able presiding officer, it may
safely be anticipated that none of the
time allotted for work will be frittered
away; and with thevast assemblage cer-
tain to grace each session, the interest
sure to be taken in the work in hand, the
proceedings of the first convention of the
new century for real value will parallel,
if they do uot excel,those that have gone
before. These are our predictions, based
upon an optimism that springs from a
pretty good knowledge of the caliber of
the men who compose the S. A. F. O. H.
For Sterilizing: Soils.
Referring to the article on this subject,
page <'>il8ot theissueof June 22, Professor
.Stone writes as follows;
Editor Florists' Exchange:
The sterilizing apparatus of Mr.Cartter
is all that he claims it to be. The princi-
ple of the apijaratus is not new, as it
consists ot perforated p'pe. ^ system
which I used tor seven or eight years here
in my work ; but Mr. Cartter "especially
hit upon the use of galvanized iron which
is very light and is punctured with iV
iueh holes, two inches apart. It is also
easily put together,one part fitting on to
another, whereas with perforated iron
pipe, such as I and others have used, we
have the ditficnlty ot lifting considerable
weight and the iron pipe is not readily
detachable.
I will state that a great deal of steriliz-
ing work is done in this state; about all
ot our large growers are compelled to
sterilize their soil, but the methods which
they use are variable. We are the insti-
gators of this method of treating the soil,
and have given the matter thorough
study tor some seven or eight years. We
have used many methods, such as put-
ting in tile in the soil and driving steam
through them, perforated iron pipe, and
turn hot water on the soil and allow it
to percolate through, and othermethods.
So far as the claims ot Mr. Cartter are
concerned, I will state that myself and
assistant carefully revised the statements
made in his circular which refer to the
merits of the apparatus. The method is
applicable to such as he states and no
doubt it can be used for other troubles,
but that remains to be seen. We did not
wish Mr. Cartter to state that steriliza-
tion was a cure tor all diseases, as is so
often the case with patent medicine and
other concerns which have something to
recommend.
I saw Mr. Cartter give a, test with his
apparatus and I estimated a very liberal
allowance for cost of labor and fuel, and
found that 12 or 15 pounds ot steam
could easily sterilize 1,000 cubic feet of soil
at $2, and with a higher pressure ot steam
he can do much better than this. I saw
the apparatus working in W.W.Rawson's
house in Boston. The particular features
of Mr. Cartter's machine, which are espe-
cially noteworthy, are as follows; It is
very light, easily put together, can be
made any size desired, the pipes are pro-
fusely covered with perforations which
allow an exit ot steam in all directions.
The machine is placed on the ground, is
covered over with 12 to 15 inches of soil,
and \\ hen the steam is turned on for half
an hour or so, the soil above the machine
is sterilized as well as that below, espe-
cially if the pile of earth is covered up and
allowed to remain fortwohoui's or more.
I saw the steam issue from the soil 26
inches below the surface some 18 hours
after the apparatus had been removed.
I could have shown you some instances
this past Winter of houses which have

been sterilized in whicli you no longer
would doubt the efficacy of this method.
One grower of lettuce who has had 50
per cent, ot "drop" in his house for the
last few years, after sterilizing he only
had one plant that I saw was affected.
This man used another method of steril-
izing the soil and it has cost him about
$100. .4 full crop of lettuce is worth to
him from $800 to $1200 and you can
reailily see whether it pays to lay out
$100, to save 50 per cent, loss, to say
nothing about the loss of labor, fertilizer,
etc., expended on diseased plants. The
old and most conservative lettuce grow-
ers near Boston in a meeting last Winter
expressed the greatest confidence in this
method and many of them stated iJ it did
nothing but kill the weeds it is worth the
expense. Another large grower that I
know has used the sterilizing method for
three or four years on cucumbers and let-
tuce, and he sterilized at the rate of about
$1() per 1,000 cubic feet. When one con-
siders the crops that he gets from this
practice it pays him. He raised 34,000
A No. 1 cucumbers from 300 plants; in
other words, over 300 cucumbers per
plant as a result from sterilization. I
find the man treating the soil every year
just for the purpose of raising crops and
wholly regardless of fungi extermination.
I have never seen any ill results from
sterilization, but in all cases where this
method has been used a large amount of
manure has been dug in previous to each
crop consequently the soil is always re-
newed to a large extent. It might so
happen that if one would repeatedly ster-
ilize the soil, without the addition of or-
ganic matter to it, repeated sterilization
might act as an injury. When the lettuce
grower has once sterilized his house thor-
oughly there is no reason why it need be
sterilized again for some years, providing
care is taken in keeping out infectious
material, and even should one or two
diseased plants appear in the house this
area of soil could be treated in 10 or 15
minutes with little expense, so the possi-
bility of spreading is done away with.
You will find a full description of lettuce
diseases in our bulletin No. 69.

The Market.
The weather is sizzling hot here,
and has been so for several days, causing
a tremendous output of almost all kinds
of flowers, exci-pting roses. From the
shortening up of the supply of the latter,
it is ((uite evident that growers have
thro^vn out a considerable part of their
old stock and are preparing for another
year.
Business conditions are somewhat im-
proved over those of a week ago. This,
of course, is a natural result of the com-
mencement exercises at many of the
schools. These and other society events
will be wound up this week, however,
and from now on we may expect the
usual Summer trade, which means very
little, if any, so far as this city is con-
cerned. The best selling roses this week
have been the special grades of American
Beauty, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria and
Liberty. The former have realized $2
per dozen, and the latter two varieties
have, at times, brought $10 per 100.
General Jaciiueminot are nearly over: a
few are coming in though, that are very
fine and for which 4rC. each is realized.
Bride and Bridesmaid, excepting a lim-
ited number of extra iiuality, are going
at extremely low prices. When a select
fifty or hundred are obtainable, they
bring $5 per 10 .
Carnations are on the wane, so far as
the supply is concerned, an<l it has been
possible to obtain somewhat better fig-
ures than those mentioned last week.
Some of the finer varieties of centaureas
(cornflower) are ((uite i)lentiful,and they
meet with a fair demand, the best ones
realizing $3 per 100. Lilies are very
plentiful vet, and are to be had at from
$1 to SI. 50 per 100.
Lily of the valley is bringing $2 and i83
per lf;0. Cattleyas are not;meeting with
very brisk sales. Gladiolus have not yet
got any too plentiful. I'leoniesare about
over; a few Liliuniauratum were on sale
this week. Smilax, asparagus and adi-
antum are at about the same figures as
quoted last week.
Aactlon Sales.
The auction season is now over,
Friday's sales winding them up with both
Elliott & Sons, and Cleary & Co. The
season has been a very sucesscful one,
and until the arrival of this very hot
weather, the sales have been extremely
well patronized by plant buyers.
The annual fishing excursion ot the P.
Bogart employes will be held on Tues-
day, July 9. The affair this year is to
be of a private nature, being restricted
to a choice circle of friends only.
Henry W. Gibbons Company, horticul-
tural builders, of this cit.v and Blooms-
burg, Pa., recently shipped to Bermuda
the materials necessary lor building a
greenhouse roof.
Geo. T. Schuneman the violet expert
of Baldwins, N. Y., left for Buffalo, Mon-
day morning, the 24th inst. He expects
to be gone about two weeks.
At Holy Cross Cemetery, V. Y.Mellis has
had a very busy season, having this year
added very largely to the number of plots
now under his care. The dry weather is
necessitating much extra watering. A
newd welling hou8e,tlie erection of which
will begin this Fall, is one of the several
signs of progress and success attending
the efforts of Mr. Mellis.
Reed & Keller, manufacturers and im-
porters of florists' supplies, have pur-
chased the entire stock of the extensive
florists' store supply business of August
Rolker & .Sons, 52 Dey street. The pur-
chase comprises all sorts of florists' requi-
sites, and the same will be on sale within
a few days at Reed & Keller's rooms, 122
West 25th Street.
August Bolker & Sons, having disposed
of their florists' store supply branch of
their business, will hereafter devote their
whole attention to the supplying ot
wholesale houses only, and to the seed,
bulb and plant trades.
Saturday last was the Royal Arcanum
outing day at Ulmer Park, Brooklyn.
Several of the local florists took in the
affair, one of the interesting and excit-
ing features connected with which was a
sculling race to Seagate and back be-
tween Davie Mellis and John V. Phillips.
The latter won by half a length, and the
suppers were on Davie, who blames the
scull. Articles are signed for a return
race in the near future.
The OutingCommittee of theNew Y'ork
Florists' Club has perfected all the neces-
sary arrangements for the club's excur-
sion to Locust Point, on July 8. Chair-
man Langjahr and his fellow committee-
men have labored faithfully in order to
make the affair a success, for their i^art,
and it is hoped and expected that the
members and their families will turn out
in force to enjoy the pleasant occasion.
A fine dancing program has been pre-
pared, and prizes will be offered for a
ladies' bowling match. It is also ex-
pected that baseball and foot races for
the men and boys, etc., will be in-
dulged in. In addition, the sail up the
Sound is delightfully refreshing these
warm days, and everything connected
with the outing will be such as to
render it a memorable and enjoyable
event, whetting the appetites of the par-
ticipants for many recurrences, and put-
ting all in good humor to take in the
convention trip to Buffalo less than a
month later. It may again be stated
that refreshments can be obtained on
board from a reliable caterer, and Locust
Point is noted for its shore dinners.
But it is imperative that those desiring
dinner at the Grove notify the chairman
of the committee, A. H. Langjahr, 19
Boerum Place, Brooklyn, N.Y., not later
than Tuesday next, July 2, in order that
the caterer be duly advised of the number
to be served. Failure to do this will
only result in disappointment, therefore
give the matter your early attention.
Buffiilo.
The Market,
In retail lines in the flower stores
considerable activity prevails in a mixture
of business. Carnations are now almost
in surplus, though still of fair (juality.
Roses are smaller than they were, still
quite respectable. This, the week of the
National Saengerfest, shows a well filled
cit.y to help trade a hit. The weather
has become warm and steady, and in the
main agreeable.
News Jottings.
S. A. Anderson dotes on canoeing,
and was a participant in a club race at
Point Abino on Saturday last. This
week the same local club is showing off
at the Pan-American.
.\rnold Ringier, of Chicago, drifted in
on Sunday morning, only to find liotel.-i
more than filled. He consented to be led
locally to a private house, where he re-
ceived attention that delighted him. lie
announces that he will sail tor ICurope
before this week closes, on a several
months' business trip, and says part of
his mission will be advertising the Pan-
American.
G. 1.. Grant and daughters, of Chicago,
spent several days here recently, taking
in the Exposition and the Falls,whilethe
Interests of caring for the Chicago crowd
at convention were also looked into.
Chas. Henderson, of New York City, and
family, likewise, were here for several
days, viewing the Exposition, while Mr.
Henderson further arranged exhibit
details. ViDi.
Philadelphia.
Alfred E. Wheeler, with Weeber & Don,
intends to take a trip to England early
in July.
Convention Hatters.
As the meeting cbib Tuesday next
will be the only one previous to the
S. A. F. O.H. convention, a good attend-
ance is expected. The hotel committee
has decided upon The Armstrong, an
apartment house, as headquarters for
the Philadelphia club. It is centrally lo-
cated, within easy access to the conven-
tion hall, and near several good restau-
rants. The rates are from $1 to $3 per
day each person for rooms only. Circu-
lars are being sent to>ll members of the
club, and an early reply is necessary, in
order to secure rooms. The transporta-
tion committee will report on Tuesday
night.
Bowlini; Notes.
With this month the time expires
for the tournament gamesfor the Buffalo
team. Next Monday the games on neu-
tral alleys begin, to decide upon the men
for the convention team. Some new men
have qualified for these games, so that
the outcome will be of interest.
John Westcott has issued invitations
tor a flag raising and housewarmingat his
new clubhouse at Waretown, on Friday.
This event promises to be a gala one,
and from the stock of materials sent
down a good old-fashioned time is antici-
pated. David Rust.

The Peony Fields of
P. S. Peterson & Son.
The p.nony has become as noted a
market flower in the Spring time as is
tlie clirysanthemum in the I-'all. Pieonies
l)attle right roj'ally for a season with the
qneenly rose am] the divine carnation.
There are now many large plantations
in various parts of this state, grown ex-
Ijressly for tlie cut flower market of Chi-
cago: i)ut we have now to do with pspo-
ny fields covering acres of ground that
have a higher mission, that Is, to allow
of the flowers being-seen as they grow and
look on the plants and in the field.
During pieony-tide, the immense Rose
Hill Nurseries of P. S. Peterson & Son,
six days of the week, are a Mecca for all
lovers of the beautiful who choose to
visit them. The generous owners of this
delightful spot, each recurring season
take extra pains to throw open their
finely kept nurseries, and a perfect stream
of tallyhos, carriages and other convey-
ances drive out from Chicago; besides
these several of the firm's own convey-
ances, including the rustic but merry
hay rack, meet trains at the depot and
transport visitors to the nurseries.
The past week the pseony fields were
Thb Florists* Exchhncb.
the Philadelphia market; and Dauben-
ton, said to be much used in England as
a cut flower.
There are several new French varieties,
names not .yet given out; among them a
No. 1 pure ivory white, and very beauti-
ful gold crown; No. 218, a ver.v large
latepink,of extranierit; itoriginated here.
Clio is a charming pink. La Tulipe,
with beautiful tulip-like markings of the
under petals, is a very free flowerer. One
is named Pond Lily, the name also indi-
cating its character. Due de Wellington
eems the best of those with yellow cen-
ter. Marie is one of the latest, alwa.vs
growing singly on a stalk, a yellow and
white. Magnifique is a fine rose red.
Charlemagne produces a very full flower
of a beautiful blush. Prince Bismark has
a flower 9 inches in diameter. French
Beauty is oneof the earliest. Livingston,
mid-season, is a clear pink. Lucie Malard,
a very deep pink, holds its color finely.
Triumph de I'Exposition de Lille is a
formiilable jaw breaker of a name, but a
rich purple and very fragrant flower.
Humei alba is a very late one; La Co-
quette, very striking. Madame Schmidt
is rare, but a curious, ragged flower.
Daubenton and Model of Perfection have
flowers of a heavy shade of pink, with
crinkled center. President de Montzay
thorities the white-flowering, the edible,
the fragrant, and now commonly the
Chinese psony.
Propaeation.
There are three methods l>y which
piponies are propagated ; by division of
roots (the most prevalent); by grafting
to increase rare sorts rapidly, and by
see<ls to obtain new varieties.
Division of roots is the easiest and
most satisfactory method. The roots
may be lifted and divided any time from
the middle of .August until the stalks ap-
pear again in the Spring. The best time,
however, is in the early Fall when the
cut surfaces soon callous over and new
rootlets form before the frost sets in.
Take a large stool, cut off the leaves and
separate into as many divisions as can
be made with an eye to each tuber. In
digging care should be taken that all of
the tubers are dug up, for if not, they
may remain dormant a season, and then
produce a shoot, giving rise to many
stray plants frequently found in old beds.
Tubers divided without an eye should
also be planted, as they often act in a
similar manner, and make a showing
above groiind in two .vears' time.

at their best, and from 10 a. m. on, from
200 to 300 visitors was no uncommon
number. A marquee was erected on the
spacious lawn, shaded by umbrageous
monster forest trees planted by P. S.
Peterson. Within this tent luncheons
were served with true Swedish hospi-
tality.
The place has been noted for many
years for its pseony fields, long before the
flower became such a market staple as
it is to-day, but in recent years WUliam A.
Peterson, the son, has made the plant a
hobby, buying and trying every kind he
could hear of. He claims to have tested
600 varieties, some very rare and worth
lots of mone.v; other good kinds long-
known, including seedlings that have
oi-iginated here. Every individual char-
acter is studied to the minutest detail
and recorded; Mr. Peterson often being
np with the sun, so as to see the flowers
at their best, and note the varying
changcs as the blooms age.
The p.Tsony flowers are not grown for
the flower market, although liberally
supplied as souvenirs to many of the lady
visitors.
One can here see the favorites of a by-
gone time, such as Humei, fragrans,
Whitloyi, intermedia; the various forms
fif humilis, tenuifolia, officinalis or old
garden pa-ony, still a favorite in gardens
and as a cut flower; the festiva maxi-
ma, the drop white of the Chicago mar-

Eose sanguinea is very dwarf, and the
darkest crimson of all. General Lawton
is a very large pink of which the Peter-
sons own all the stock, and for which
they paid a very high price. There is
also another white of superb character;
the name was not given.
The foregoing is but a moiety of the
beauties seen on this place; one would
require a week to study the peculiarities
and characters of such a large collection.
The accompanying illustration of a

Peonies and Tlieir Cultivation.
By W.m. a. Peterson.
Our illustration shows a field of p:eo-
nies in the nurseries of P. S. Peterson &
Son, Chicago. The following notes con-
tributed by W. A. Peterson, to Bailey's
Cyclopedia of American Horticulture, are
interesting.
P^eoDia albiflora.
The Chinese herbaceous pseony
originated in Siberia. Its tuberous roots
were used by the Tartars as an article of
food.
Since Messerschmidt in 1725 gave the
original single white form a botanical
status, it has been called by various au-
to be rapidly increased. .\n eye of the
desired sort is inserted into the tuber of
some strong growing variety, from
which all the previous eyes have been re-
moved. This operation is generally per-
formed in August. They shoulil be placed
in framesfor the Winterand transplanted
the next .year into nursery rows.
Propagating by seed is somewhat tedi-
ous, and is onl.v resorted to for increas-
ing distinct species and for obtaining new
varieties uy hybridization. The seeds
should be gathered as soon as ripe and
kept damp until sown in November. A
mulch during the first season will keep
the ground moist and prevent weeds
from growing. Generally, two years are
required for the seed to germinate, and
three more before a well-developed bloom
can be expected. Nearly all of the 1,000
or more named double varieties grown
at present have been obtained by cross-
ing the various forms of P. albiflora and
officinalis. In 1855 only 2i double va-
rieties were known.
Soil.
Pieouies grow in all kinds of soil,
but do best in a deep, rich, rather moist
loam. A clay subsoil, if well drained, is
very beneficial when blooms are desired,
but the tubers ramify more in lighter soil
if grown tor propagating 'purposes. In
preparing the bed it should be thoroughly
trenched two or more feet deep, working
In a great quantity of good rich cow
manure, as they are gross feeders. The
ground should be kept well cultivated
and an annual top dressing put above
the plants in November, which should be
forked into the soil the next Spring.
Pfeonies should have a liberal supply fif
"^ ater at all times, and especiaily while
in bloom. Liquid manure when "applied
during the growing seasonand at a time
when the groun<l is dry, gives good re-
turn, both in the growth of the plant
and size of the bloom.
Plantin];,
The crowns shouhl be set two
inches below the surface. In transplant-
ing it is a good plan to remove all the
old earth so as to start with fre.<!h unim-
poverished soil next to the roots. The
flowers produced on small divided plants
are apt to be imperfect, but when thor-
oughly established a plant will continue
to bloom, if undisturbed, for upwards of
20 years. During the period of blooming
an inconspicuous wire support is desira-
ble, as a heavy rain often beats down the
flowers.
Forcing;.
Lift the plants in October and place
in a cold frame where they can be easily
gotten at when the time for forcing
arrives. When brought under glass, a
tiniform temperature of .55 to 60 degrees
should be maintained. By feeding well
with liquid manure, strong blooms can
be produced in eight weeks. A two
years' rest is necessary for the plants be-
fore being forced again. To sectire extra
line bloomsondouble flowering varieties,
remove the lateral buds as soon as
formed. When the first lateral bud is re-
tained in.stead of thetermlnal one, a later
period of blooming is obtained. The old
flowers should be cutoff sothatnounnec-
essary seed follicles will be formed, and
thereby exhaust the plant. It is also im-
portant to remove the faded foliage on
all p;ponies in November, so that it may
not interfere with the next season's
shoots.
Grouping.
The old-fashioned early red "piny " of
the time of Pliny is still a favorite in our
gardens, and with the host of modern
varieties available, ranging from purest
white to deepest crimson, in such a diver-
sity of form and size, afford great oppor-
tunity for the carrying out of extensive
color schemes.
Pjeonies do well in partial shade whiPh
prolongs and intensifies the cokir of the
bloom, and therefore can be used to ad-
vantage to brighten up somber nooks.
The period of blooming lor herbaceous
piponies ranges from the middle of May
through the month of .lune. The.v
grow from one to three feet in height,
and are therefore suitable for planting
in front ^>f shrubbery, along driveways,
and are especially pleasing when entering
into a distant vista. When planted in a
border with fall-blooming perennials,
such as phlox, funkia, etc., the rich glossy
foliage of the p»ony is very effective. In
delicacy of tint and fragrance, the p;pony
more nearly approaches the rose thixn
any other flower. The siugle-Howering
softs are not so popular as the double
ones, tor they do not keep as long when
cut, and fade more rapidly when on the
plant.
I'leonies, like most tuberous plants,
when dormant, stand considerable expo-
sure and can be shipped long distances
with satet.v.
This family of perennials is never at-
tacked by any insect, animal or fungoid
disease; neither do the.v require any cov-
ering during the severest weather; in
fact, they are among the most hardy,
showy and easily grown of aU the garden
flowers."

Spring favored the plants, while tlie
experienced care in treatment and correct
pruning as carefully practised under Su-

for much, also. Amateurs praise this

A Troublesome Greenhouse Pest.
Bulletin 190, May, luoi, of the Ento.
mological Division of the C'ornell ITniver-
sit.v Agricultural Experiment Station,
Ithaca, N. \'., describes and illustrates
three unusual strawberry pests and a
greenhouse pest; theformer the obsolete-
banded strawberry leaf-roller, groun<l
beetles that eat strawV)erries, and a
strawberr.v white fly or " mealy wing."
The greenhouse pest is the " Greenhouse
Leaf — T.ver (I'ldycta-nia rubigalis Gue-
ne^), which is said to be "the most trou-
Ijlesonie and annoying pest that ever in-
fested agreeuhouse." It is apparently an
old offender, for it was reported as very
destructive on Long Island as earl.v as
18.S8. In addition to roses and carna-
tions, it has been especially troublesome
on lettuce, sweet peas, clover, parsley,
cinerarias, chrysanthemums, geraniums,
strawberries and cucumbers.
The caterpillars usually work on the
undersides of the leaves, eating over irregu-
lar areas through to, but leaving the
upper skin of the leaf. .Similar work is
done on other thick-leaved plants, like
chrysanthemums and geraniums. The
thin leaves of lettuce and parsley were
eaten entire, while tliose of sweet peas
and clover were skeletonized. Often the
caterpillars exhibit their rolling or tying
habits and two orthreesmall leaves may
be loosely tied together witli silken
threads, or on larger leaves silken bands
are stretched across from one large vein
to another, often resulting in partiall.v
folding or kinking the leaf; the caterpil-
lar works under the sdken bands in the
fold. But many times there is no tying
or rolling of the leaves, the caterpillar
feeding openi.v on the underside under a
few silken strands.
The adultinsect is a small rusty-brown
moth with somewhat obscure "blackish
markings on its front wings. In green-
hoiises the moths may be found resting
during the day in angles made by the
framework, and also out of sight on the
plants. They fly readily when disturbed,
but soon alight and rapidly run to the
underside of the object on which the.v
alight; when cold, the.y are less active,
and thus more easily captured. Thej' are
attracted by lights.
The much flattened, elliptical, translu-
cent eggs of the insect areclosely attached
to the undersides of the leaves in clusters
of from eight to twelve, often two to four
of which ma.v overlap. The egg shell is
finely reticulated, and is apparently not
easily jjenetrated D.v liciuids, as caterpil-
lars were reared from eggs which had
lieen soaked in water for two days. Ob-
servations indicate that the egg-stage
lasts about 12 da.ys.
The full-grown caterpillar or larva is
about three-fourths of an inch long, and
of a general translucent greenisb-wldte
color; its head is of a dark straw color
with darker mottlings, and there is a
small conspicuous black spot in the center
of each half of the prothoracie shield. A
narrow dark green stripe extends me<li-
ally alongthe back, l)ordered oneach side
by a much wider, light greenish-white
stripe; there are live pairs of pro-legs,
the last pair projecting behind when the
larva is at rest. The caterpillars are
about 20 days in getting their growth
and shed tlieir skins three times, or pass
througli four stages during this period,
fisually they move about but little, al-
most completely devouring one leaf be-
fore going to another. AVhen touched,
however, they are very active, wriggling
quickly backward or forward.
X„ Wlien full grown the caterpillar folds in
a lobe of the leaf and fastens it securely
with silk;if tiieleaf is notlobed, thecater-
pillar will eat into it to loosen a piece
which it tlien folds over. In either case
the inside of the folded portion is thor-
oughly lined with silk. In this cocooii

the caterpillar transforms in a day or
two into tlie third stage ol the insect's
lite — the pupa or quiescent stage.
As the life cycle may be passed through
in from 44 to 50 days, and as the insect
breeds freely during the whole year in
greenhouses, seven or eight generations
luay occur indoors. With so many broods
in a year, this insect is capable of doing
much damage even to outdoor crops.
When once thoroughly established in a
greenhouse it will ruin thousands of eoft-
leaved plants unless it is persistently
watched and fought.
The insect may be readily transported
on plants unnoticed in its egg or young
caterpillar stages, and it is thought to
have been introduced into our horticul-
tural greenhouses on chrysanthemums
from an infested locality. Hence, one
should carefully scrutinize all soft-leaved
plants received from other greenhouses;
the eggs will usually escape notice, but
the work of the caterpillars will soon re-
veal their whereabouts. Any such plants
found infested should be quarantined
somewhere until the pest is annihilated.
But there is no practicable way of pre-
venting the moths from flying into green-
houses in Summer from infested outdoor
plants, and the liability of infestation
may be as great from this source as from
the other.
As the caterpillars feed on the under-
sides of the leaves, they are not easily
poisoned. In the horticultural green-
houses it has been found practicable to
spray infested geraniums and chrysanthe-
mums with Paris green and many cater-
pillars were killed in this way; such a
spray is not often practicable on many of
the other plants attacked by the insect.
When a lighted lantern has been carried
into the horticultural greenhouses, it has
been noticed that some of the moths of
this pesi were attracted and would flut-
ter about the lantern. A pan of water
with a little kerosene oil on its surface
was placed in an infested house one night,
and a lighted lantern was set on a block
in the center of the pan. The weather
conditions were such that the moths
were not at all active during the night,
and but two of them were caught In this
trap-lantern. More would doubtless have
been caught on a more auspicious night,
so that such a trap-lantern is worthy of
furtherjtrial, and it may materially help
to control tlie pest in some cases.
The infested greenhouses have been fre-
quently and successfully fumigated with
tobacco, either as stems, or " rose-leaf
extract" for other pests like plant-lice
and the " white-fly," but the ravages of
the greenhouse leaf-tyer were not checked.
Another very expensive tobacco-like in-
secticide known as " nicoticide " was used
with apparent success against the leaf-
tyer in a small greenhouse, but ■v\'heu used
in commercial quantities in a large house
it failed to kill the insect.
Experiments thus far indicate that the
greenhouse leaf-tyer will not succumb to
the amount of hydrocyanic acid gas
which can he generated in a greenhouse
with safety to the plants.
Finally, the only method by which they
have thus far been able to materially re-
duce the numbers of the pest In the hor-
ticultural greenhouses Is by hand-picking
or killing. All hands are constantly on
the lookout for signs of the insect and
every specimen of moth, caterpillar or
pupa found is at once killed. Forty of
the moths have been killed in one morn-
ing in the houses, and scarcely a day
passes that many of the leaf- tyers are not
thus sent to their " happy hunting
grounds." The moths are quite easily
caught or crushed in their resting places
and the caterpillars are readdy located
by their work on the leaves, and by a
constant warfare of this kind the pest
can be kept below the danger limit, but,
as those who have had experience know,
the few remaining stragglers can often
annoy the lover of perfect-leaved, sym-
metrical plants more than a host of plant-
lice, mealy-bugs, or scale insects.

Annandale (N. Y.) Rose Stow,
The Annandale Rose Show was held
June 39 and 20. A very creditable dis-
play of roses was made. On account of
vegetables being late this season, there
was not so large, or so good an exhibit
of collections of these as is usual at this
show. There was, however, a good dis-
play of strawberries and amateur exhib-
its for which this show is noted.
Most of the roses shown were of the
highest quality, Madame Gabriel Luizet
and Paul Neyron being especially good.
Others noticed in good form, were Ulrich
Brunner, Jules Margottin, Alfred Colomb
Ba on Haussman, Magna Charta, Mrs.
.John Laing, etc.
The prize winners were as follows:
The American Rose Society's silver medal
for the best display of named garden
roses was awarded to Miss C. Cruger,
(gardener, Robert Kerr). The silver cup
for 24 distinct varieties was also
awarded to Miss Cruger. For 12 vases
distinct varieties, the first prize went to
Mr. F. R. Newbold, (gardener, Louis

Grand Rapids.
A cold, dreary, backward Spring, re-
tarding plant growth, yet lengthening
the time for getting bedding out of the
waj', then jumping into torrid heat, 100
degrees in the shade, are the present
weather conditions. Roses are beginning
"to grow beautifully less" each day; but
then graduations are over and the time
for replanting is now at hand. Carna-
tions are a glut; while the demand con-
tinues brisk, it is not sufficient to make
much impression on the quantity of stock
on band.
Some growers are beginning to replant
roses, plant violets and chrysanthemums.
The Spring bedding trade has been the
fin' st ever known; the number of win-
dow boxes and hanging baskets is far in
excess of that of former years, being a
sort of mania.
The first of the month will see the close
of the bedding season. G. F. C.

A Severe Drought Prevails.
This locality is sutferiug from a
very severe firought, aecompanieil with a
period of torrid weather. The past week
the thermometer reached as high as 98
to 102 degrees daily, with hot wiuds.
Tlie result is that everything outside,
not heavily watered, is rapidly being
burned. The effect of the warm spell is
plainly noticed, both on business and
stock. Of the latter there is a very poor
lot. The nice candidum lilies of a week
ago are reported liurned: the same is
true of sweet peas, which are nearly done
for. Carnations have become very small
and roses poor. About the only thing-
plentiful and up to parissmilax, of which
there seems to be an abundance. Busi-
ness in general is very poor.
News Notes.
The representative of the George
Wittbold Co., of Chicago, is again in
town, and reports excellent business.
.1. .1. Beneke, who is to attend to the
transportation to Buffalo, reports some
20 to 25 people going frf)m this point.
Mess. Fetter and Brooker have each a
big greenhouse well under way.

Hot Weatlier Hurts Trade.
Humid, hot days, with storms uearly
every day, has been the weather program
for some time. While the .storms have
been very severe in many parts of the
state, this section has come out all right
so far. A light hailstorm last week left
no bad result.
Trade has dropped off all at once, with
cutfiowers in abundance. Carnations
have been a ''never-before-seen" glut on
the market ; thej have bloomed w'on-
derfuUy, making up for the Winter's
shortage, but are of no value to the flo-
rists this time of year.
The quality of roses is getting very
poor. Summer dullness is starting in
sooner than usual.
The News.
The next meeting of the Florists'
.Association will be held at the Commer-
cial Club rooms Tuesday evening, .July
2. Considerable business will coiue up,
such as the yearly outing, report on stop-
ping fakirs .selling flowers on the streets,
a review of the season's trade, etc. A
good attendance is desired.
Otto Heinl, of Terre Haute, paid us a
visit; also Mr. Mann, of Louisville, Ky.
Invitations will be out this week for
the evening's enjoyment at Mr. Albin
Schreiber's, which takes place July 16.

Market News.
Trade the past few weeks has been
fair; wedding orders were numerous and
school commencements caused a good de-
mand. Stock is very abundant and
prices have dropped considerably. Choice
roses bring good figures, but there are
plenty of clieap ones to be had. (tarna-
tions are sold at from 25c. up per dozen.
Pa'onies are about over. Sweet peas are
cheap; plenty of outdoor-grown flowers
are coming in. Longiflorum lilies are
fine; candidums are also in the market.
Bedding plants are holding out longer
than usual; all the growers are yet in
the market, and planting is still going
on. It is very doubtful whether the trade
was as good as last year.
Damage from Storms.
The severe rainstorms, the last few
weeks, did considerable damage to some
of the florists: among those who suffered
the most was Oscar Held, at Mutzig,
whose loss will reach several thousand
dollars. He had several greenhouses
washed away, wagons demolished, boiler
upset and pipes twisted. Britenbaugh
Bros., at Etna, also sustained a severe
loss; greenhouses and plants were de-
stroyed. Both these places lie near creeks
the banks of which overflowed. In some
places hail fell, but did not cause much
damage, except to plants.
The Exhibition.
The flower show held last week
was so successful that it was continued
tor another day and fresh stock was
added to replace some that was wilted.
Many people were surprised to see the
great variety of flowers that bloom out-
doors. Shows of this kind should have
a tar-reaching influence, and benefit the
trade greatly, for they encourage a love
tor snch blooms as can be grown by all.
A few exhibitors overlooked in my last
DOtw \Yere as foljows: T. MurcUie,
Sharon, Pa., fine carnations; Mansfield
& Morse, Cannelton, Pa., collection of
hardy ferns; Mrs. E. W. Williams, bunch
of fine roses; E. P. Hostetter, Manheim,
Pa., carnations; John Way, Jr., of Se-
wickly, sent some fine hardy roses the
second day, and G. & J. Ludwig a fresh
consignment of pieonies to replace those
that were spoiled.
The club went to considerable expense
in connection with the exhibition, but it
was money well spent. The two most
noteworthy exhibits were those of .Schen-
ley Park, arranged by Superintendent
Falconer, and .J. W. Elliott & Co., every-
thing being proerly named.
,Iohn Badc^ and your correspondent

Jamestown, N. Y.
The Lakeview Rose Gardens are situ-
ated about one and a half miles west of
Jamestown, and close to the borders of
that beautiful sheet of vrater, Chautau-
qua Lake. This establishment was started
about three years ago, and at the pres-
ent time there is over 100,000 feet of glass
devoted to roses and carnations. Blocks
of new houses are also under way, and
just what the area of the establishment
will be by another year, one cannot tell.
Mr. A. N. Broadhead.the owner of this
immense establishment, does nothing by
halves; anything undertaken by him is
done thoroughly, and upon broad lines.
The output from such a large plant
cannot, of course, be disposed of locally,
and w e were informed by C. Money, the
manager, that trjule had already been
worked up among retailers in such cities
as Bingham ton, Syracuse, Rochester,
Buffalo, Cleveland, etc.; that all the
stock grown found a ready market, and
it was not necessary to consign to
wholesale commission dealers.
Besides the cut flower industry, a large
business Is done In rooted cuttings and
small plant trade.
There are also blocks ot carnations in
the fields from which field-grown plants
are to be offered in the Fall.
In conjunction with the Lakeview Rose
(3ardeus, a retail store, which is a beauty
for elegance and finish, has been fitted up
in the city. Every detail, from the work-
room in the basement to the white and
gilded walls of the store, the refrigerator,
with its plate glass sides and front, and
the conservatory in the rear, stocked
with decorative plants, is finished in the
finest manner possible and reminds one
of the elaborately furnished stores that
are seen on Fifth Avenue or Broadway,
New York.
There are several other florists in
Jamestown, and as Buffalo, 70 miles
away, used to be the nearest point from
which flowers could be obtained, when
wanted in (|uantity, the convenience of
having a large wholesale establishment
in the neighborhood is appreciated by
them. B. A. Bartlett has his growing
establishment at Greenhurst, and con-
ducts a retail store in the heart of the
city.
E. D. Spaulding is located where he has
been for almost 40 years, and is still do-
ing a thriving business. F. .\. Dorman
is the only florist on the north side ot the
city, and A. L. Worden has his green-
houses away on the east side.
Worcester, Mass.
The weekly exhibition ot the Horticul-
tural Society was held Thursday last,
with an excellent display of pieonies,
there being eight exhibitors. The flowers
were very large and the varieties many.
There were five exhibitors of h. p. roses,
the stands being gorgeous with their
bloom. Next Thursday there are five
calls tor roses. J.

Trade Still rauiry.
The present week tlie toimiion iiud
hifi'li schools dose, auil tlieie should be a,
fail- business even with tlie " no flower"
rule in oiicration. There has been no let
up in the s'luts, and prices are exception-
ally low. Koses as a rule are very poor,
and Kood stoik still s^es at R-ood figures
for the time of year. Fred Hills for some
time hfis been having really (i'ood Bride
anil Bridesmaid that clear off readily at
$4 to $."). The bulk of American Beauty
are off in (|uality; anything worthy of
the name of so»d goes at from $2 to
$-2.'A) per dozen, but the bulk of the stock
brings lower figures.
I'arnatious certainly are getting iu
their work iu fine shape yet in (|uantiry,
with lots of good average (piality. A
few e.vtra fancy may go at $2 per 10(1,
but more at -lOc. and below than above
that figure.
The backbone of the p;vony Feason is
broken, and well-kept storage stock is
now in the ascendant. Kxcellent bright,
old double red flowers, are still in the
market. Drop White and a pink. They
sell at -tOc. to (i.">c. per dozen. Lilies
are still abundant at $4 to $ii.
The Wooded Island Rose Garden.
This is about the ninth year this
famous rose garden has been established,
and the past favorable Winter and cool
late .Spring have brought out its beau-
ties beyond the average. The beds in
Winter are protected by a covering of
li-aves, and mulch of lawn grass is used
in Summer.
The herbaceousborrier surrounding the
garden is particularly attractive, and con-
tains many good things. Thisold World's
Fair spot has lost none of its charms,
altliough in some respects changed from
its condition in 1893.
Club Doings.
A slim attendance was present the
second meeting in .Tune. The first meet
ing in July will be skipped. The .second
falling on the 19th, will be called to hear
definitely ihe report of the Transporta-
tion Committee. It was announced that
the committee had offers from all the dif-
ferent railroads, but none varying from
regulation rate. It is thought no harm
will result from holding off making final
arrangements, and l>y resolution, power
to act was given the committee to make
the best terms possible. The Picnic Com-
mittee reported Tuesday, July 23, as the
time selected lor the outing to Keisig's
Grove. Full particulars by circular will
be sent to members and friends.

long familiarit.v with this particvdjvr
branch of the business and his ac(|uaiut-
an(!e among buyers, are bound to give it
greatl.v increased importance.
Reports from the carnation fields gen-
erally are good; fine growth has been
made, and man.v will begin transferring
the plants to the houses by the end of
July.
The Keinbergs report enormous sales,
of rose plants still.
Albert M. Hills has just arrived from
I'ngland, and will be empU».ved with his

Speaking of
LIEBIH,
FEBTILIZimi,
The noted Chemist
and Scientist, SAYS:
"The strongest fertilization with
phosphorit'^s can hardly be compared
In its Ceneficial effect with the appli-
cation of very small quantities in a
state of infinitely fine s jlution and dis-
tribution, so that a particle of nutri-
ment is feund in every crumb of soil.
Each individual fibre of the root re-
quires at its bottom, where i'. touches
the soil, only a infinitely small amount
of nutriment, but for its proper func-
tion and vitality it is necessary that
this minimum amount should be pre-
sent at that very spot."
This is Very True and it is Equally True that

ments of a scientific fertilizer,

Onion Crop Prospects. — Chas. P.
Guelt, representing Jerome 15. Rice Seed
Co., Cambridge, N. Y., has compiled a re-
port on the onion crop, which pamphlet
has been distributed by the firm. From
New York onion growing districts, an
increased acreage is generall.v reporteil ;
but the excessive rains have destroyed a
portion of the crop. In some districts of
Ohio, there is a slight increase in the
acreage seeded, the crop indicating a
large yield.
In Michigan the acreage is increa.sed
nearly 10 per cent, over a year ago, but
heavy wind storms in May destroyed
about one-tifth of the seeding. Crop is
about two to three weeks behind last
year, and at present looking fairly well.
About two-thirds red globes, balance yel-
low; very few whites grown.'
Reports from the Nappanee district of
Indiana show a falling off in acreage of
nearly 20 per cent., as compared with a
year ago, but with a much better stand
and in better condition than last year;
about 70 per cent, yellow, 20 per cent,
red and 10 per cent, white. Correspon-
dence from other onion-growing sections
of the state show a falling off in acreage
of from 10 to 2.7) per cent., but reports
crop in better condition than a ,vear ago.
In Wisconsin the acreage is somewhat
cut down, from that of Inst year, but a
fair stand on the ground ami giving in-
dications of an average crop. The Chi-
cago district reports a somewhat larger
acreage and in better condition than last
year. From Connecticut the report is
that the acreage approximately is the
same as a year ago. Cro|)8 somewhat
weedy, havesuffered more or less from ex-
cessive rains. Onecorrespondeut re|)orts
a loss in his locality from this source of
fully 2.T per cent., while other sections re-

port a good stand and prospects favora-
able for a good crop. As a whole we
should judge the state to be about on a. par
with the conditif)ns a year ago. Crop
about eipially divided between reds, .vel-
lows and whites. In Massachusetts re-
ports from several correspondents place
tbe acreage and crop conditions about
the same as a year ago. Acreage in reds
has been decreased somewhat in favor of
vellow onions.

European Notes.
The much needed rain hascome at last,
but in a form not very acceptable, as it
is accompanied with strong north winds
which have plunged us for tbe time into
midwinter. In the South the hail storms
have been ver.v heav.y and most destruc-
tive. Maize tiilly three feet high has been
cut off as with a knife; beans have been
destroved wholesale, and the vines de-
nuded of both leaves and fruit. Lettuces
have suffered very much, and the weaker
plantations of endiveand latecauliflower
have shared the same fate. Of course,
such storms have been local, but the ex-
tent of territory affected is very wide.
In our next report we shall be able to
sav how far the radishes have benetited
by the rains, but as the growers have in
niany cases plowed up the lami and
planted other crojis, a shortage is inevit^
able. It will be very difficult to induce
growers to plant railish next season.
The same may be said of carrot, espe-
cially the shorterandmoreilelicnte varie-
ties." The outlook tor these is excejition-
ally ilisconraging just now.
In flower seeils, iiansies, nasturtiums
and zinnias will benetit considerably.
.Salpiglossis, i)etnni,is and saponarias
Hre doing fairly w cU. ,Sweet peas have
suffered tiadly, and, even should they re-
cover somewhat, will be a ver.v short
crop. The seed grower will not make a
large fortune this year.

write tiiat they are in the midst of a ter-
rible lirought. Being largely in the flo-
rist line, the ruination of tlieir carnation,
bouvardla and other plants in the open
ground, which now seems more than
probable, is most disheartening to them.
Watering is impracticable, the water
supply being three miles away.
Thomas B. Meehan is on an extended
tour among the Western nurserymen at
this writing, June 29, being in Chicago.
Mr. Galbraith, the well-known nursery-
man of Fairbury, Neb., came on to Phila-
delphia after the nurserymen's conven-
tion at Niagara Falls. He expressed
himself as surprised and delighted with
the great variety of trees and shrubs to
be seen in the East, especially in this part
of Pennsylvania. Itisinipossible, hesays,
for him to grow but the hardiest kinds
of trees and shrubs, especially of ever-
greens, the intense cold and high winds
of Winter killing them outright.
Mr. Galbraith speaks encouragingly of
the nursery business in Nebraska, the
past Spring having been exceptionally
good for nurserymen.

vation, are the two stuartias, ,S. virginica
and S. pentagyna. Until a few years
ago, hardly a nursery in the country could
have filled an orderfor these subjects, but
since collectors have placed within reach
the trees and shrubs of the South, it is no
longer a strange thing to see stuartias
in nurser.vmen's catalogues. These beau-
tiful shrubs, and the gordonias, are the
only representatives of the natural order
CamelliuceiB in this country; and gordo-
nias at this time are more rare than
stuartias. Gordonia lasianthus can be
had from the South, but the other and
better one, G. pubescens, is not only lost
in a wild state, but is almost unprocura-
ble in any nursery.
Of the two stuartias, S. virginica has
the showiest flowers, which are better
than those of .S. pentagyna, because in
the center of each is a cluster of purple
stamens, that S. pentagyna has not.
Belonging, as they do, to the natural
order Camelliaceee, suggests something of
the appearance of the flowers. They may
be likened to a small flowered single
white camellia. S. virginica is theflrst to
bloom, flowering with us towards the
middle to end of June. H. pentagyna
opens three weeks later.
While both may be considered hardy,
at least to Philadelphia, in very severe
Winters S. virginica loses its extreme ends
sometimes, but never enough to seriously
hurt it. Older botanical works make
more of the purple cluster of stamens in
S. virginica as being distinctive than
do later ones. It is a good character, be-
sides adding to its beauty. Stuartias seed
fairly well, and it is not hard to raise
seedlings from them.
Eleaenus Lionsipes. — Passing to-
da.T, .Tune 28, a large bush of Eleagnus
longipes, full of nearly ripe fruit, reminds
me to call the attentionof readers to this
shrub; as, both as an ornamental and as a
fruit bush, it is yet too little grown. If
my recollection is not at fault, WiUiam
Falconer, now superintendent of Schen-
ley Park, was one of the first, it not the
first, to call attention to its utility in
these respects.
To speak of its ornamental character,
it has light yellow colored flowers, of a
small size, early in Spring, followed by
berries, which, now that they are ripe,
are of a deep red color and about the
size of a pie cherry, but of a more elon-
gated shape, such as is seen in the berry
of a Muscat grape. Each berry is on a
long stem, much as cherries are borne.
This fruit is somewhat pendant on the
branches, so that its best appearance is
when the bushes are of some size and
height, to be the better seen.
Its value as a fruit is well worthy of
attention. In my estimation, it is very
good. There is a certain tartness to it
which is very agreeable in the hot days
usually present when the fruit is ripe. I
have in mind in the foregoing the eating
of the fruit from the bush. For other
use, such as the making of tarts, those
who have tried it speak well of its merits.
Tlie propagation of this eleagnus has
been chiefly by grafting, but tlie seeds
vegetate very well if kept moist until
sown. When grafting is resorted to, the
common stock, E. parvifolia, has been
mostly used, but those who have used E.
umbellata obtain strong plants quickly,
as the latter is of much more vigorous
growth than the other.
While all the eleagnus family have or-
namental fruit, and some of them fra-
grant flowers, none that I have met with
has the long steemed fruit of E. longipes.
That of E. angustifolia and E. umbellata
are set close to the branches. The fruit
of these two are also edible, but it is of
much smaller size and less pleasing to the
taste.
Yellow Rambler Rose. — The Yellow
Rambler rose when first introduced was
something of a disappointment to those
who were looking for a real yellow rose.
Though still somewhat disappointing in
the sauie way, it is more valued than it
was. The flowers are borne in clusters,
a light yellow in the bud, and when the
blooms first expand they still retain a
slight yellow color, but with full develop-
ment comes a white color. It is evident
that as the plant increases in vigor it
proves to be a very useful rose, of which
its hardiness greatly contributes.
Perennials for Cut Flowers. — In con-
tinuation of the notes on perennials which
grow to a fair height, so that they are
useful for cut flow^ers, another list of a
dozen is given, which are in flower at this
writing, June 29. As mentioned in the
former notes, these lists contain simply
plants of tall growth, making tliem de-
sirable for cutting for vase filling and
similar purposes. As before, the color of
the flower and the height to which the
stems attain are given: .\nthemis tinc-
toria, yellow, 18 inches; Betonica rosea,
light rose, 18 inches; B.oHicinalis, liglit
purple, 2 feet; Valeriana dioica, white,
3 feet; .Sedum Maximowiczii, yellow, 2
feet; Qinothera frutieosa, yellow, 18
inches; O. Youngii, yelio'w, 18 inches;
Armeriaplantag'inia, lUac pink, 15 inches;
Veronica spicota, blue, 18 inches; V. s.
nana, blue, 6 inches; Thermopsis caroli-
niana, yellow, 3 feet; Senecio Doria, yel-
low, 3 to 4 feet; Lysimachia quadrifolia
yellow, 2 feet; L. vulgaris, yellow, 2 feet;
Asclepias rubra, light red, 2V2 feet.
The Spring having been fairly cool and
moist, perennials in these parts have done
very well. Very few of them are deep
rooting, hence the season has much to do
with tlieir lieauty. Should it be a dry
one, the two or three inches of depth to
which the roots penetrate are quickly
dried out, and the plants suffer.
To be on the safe side, it is a good plan
to mulch perennials early in the Spring.
A little short grass Is a good material to
use. Not only are the flowers larger and
stronger when the plants have their
roots cool and damp, but the increase of
the plants themselves is more satisfac-
tory. Joseph Meehan.

1 send you two photographs of the
Bobbink & Atkins, (Rutherford, N. J.,)
display of evergreens at the Pan-Ameri-
can Exposition. No. 1 sliows in the dis-
tance what is known as the Elmwood
entrance, where the greatest number of
people enter the grounds. The other is
taken from one of the main roads and
sliows in the background the western
boundary of the grounds. It was impos-
sible to get the whole of the exhibit into
one view, as man.y fine specimen box and
bays extend along the lawn both to the
right and left. Everything excepting the
sweet bays is planted out, and, up to
ilate, we have not lost a single plant.
The exhibit consists of standard and
p.yramid sweet l)ays, a large number of
finely trimmed box, taxus, blue spruce,
and a large assortment of the ctioicesc
evergreens. This collection arrived here
aiiout the 15th of May, occupying one
entire car. The weather has been very
favorable since, but I think it is rather
unusual in handling so many evergreens
that not one should have turned out a
loss. William Scott.

Trip to War. town.
On Friday, June 29, on the invita-
tion of John Westcott, 22 friends jour-
neyed to Waretown on Barnegat Bay, to
be present at the opening of Mr. West-
cott's new club house. A vei'y enjoyable
time was spent. There are tew men like
John Westcott. He is a hard worker,
and yet believes in having plent.y of pleas-
ure; but of this he is not selfish, as he
always likes to have some of his associ-
ates in business share in the enjoy-
ment. He delights in work that gives
pleasure to others. This fact was again
exemplified on the present occasion, as he
went to a lot of expense as well as hard
work to give his friends a good time.
Arriving at Waretown, the party was met
and conveyed in two 'bussesamile and a
half to the farm, where an inspection of
the buildings was made, the chief attrac-
tion being the old farm house cellar, well
stocked with spring water, fire water
cordials, and other matter in bottles with
patent stoppers. Well refreshed, the party
went down to the bay and inspected the
club house. This far surpassed expecta-
tions, it being reallyacommodious struc-
ture. It is .S5 feet wide and built L
shaped, having three large rooms on the
ground floor, while the second floor has
one large room the full width of the
building, a full sized bedroom, and a sin-
gle bedroom. The large bedroom was
fllleil with cots; here the majority of the
party slept during their stay. At 1 p.m.
the flag was sent aloft and unfurled.
After an introductor.y speech by Mr.
A\'estcott and a short talk by Robert
Craig, the party repaired to the farm
house, where an ample repast was
enjo.yed by all. The affair was conducted
on John AVestcott's usual catering style
—plenty of ever.vthing for everj'body, in-
cluding the well-known punch. Friday
was spent in looking over the place. On
Saturday the party went out fishing.
Although the season is not yet well on,
some fair catches were made. The party
broke up gradually, the last contingent
coming home Sunday night, all feeling
good and wondering what each could do
to reciprocate the splendid hospitality
extended to them.
Club Meeting.
At the meeting held Tuesda.v night
about 20 braved the terrific heat. Rou-
tine business was about all that was
transacted. The Transportation Com-
mittee said that the best rate yet offered
was $9.25 tor the round trip to Buffalo,
good tor five days. The committee hopes
to get more time on this rate, and
possibly have the tickets good for 10
days. Members are now sending in their
orders tor rooms at the Armstrong; and
from present indications the delegation
will be a large one.

The Buffalo Convention Souvenir.
We have been favored by Daniel B.
Long with a sample cover [lage for the
Souvenir to be i.ssued by the liutfalo Flo-
rista' Club in connection with the forth-
coming .S. A. F. O. H. convention. Mr.
Long has demonstrateil in the selection
of the design his wonted artistic taste.
The subjects chosen are particularly ex-
pressive, the trade, the Pan-American,
Buffalo, and Niagara Falls, all being ap-
propriately represented. As a fitting
memento of the auspicious gathering and
its accomptvniments, the Souvenir is sure
to be retained in tlie household of every
recipient. That being so, its advertising
advantages will be apparent to all inter-
ested.
OUR SUPPLEMENT.
Scene in John Welsi
Memorial Grounds, Fairmount Park.
The illustration which we present of a
scene in the John Welsh Memorial
Grounds, Fairmount Park, Philadelphia,
will attract attention by its varied
beauty. The representation is chiefly of
the floral work, but the whole of the ob-
jects in combination are most attractive.
The central feature, though having the
appearance ot a fountain when viewed
from a distance, is not one; save the
vase in the center, the whole is composed
of evergreens and flowering plants. Two
years ago, when taking notes of the
plants used in the combination, we found
them to be as follows, and we think the
appearance indicates the same plants
now: First, there is a band of grass;
next yellow-leaved Coleus Golden Bedder;
then Coleus Verschaffeltii, followed by
yellow coleus, and finishing with Acaly-
plia Lindeni. We find on another occa-
sion our notes ran this way; Coleus
Verschaffeltii, Achyrauthes Lindeni, Co-
leus Golden Bedder and again Coleus
A'erschaffeltil.
There are many well-known plants
available for the purpose of forming
pleasing combinations in cases of this
kind.
Following the lines of plants, the green
mound above them is formed of that
most useful evergreen, Retinospora plu-
mosa on the outside, while the Inside
space, immediately sun ounding the vase,
is filled with hemlock spruce,'AbieB cana-
densis. These evergreens answer the pur-
pose admirably, not the least merit being
their submitting freely to the pruning
knife. The vase at this time does not
display the Vinca major variegata, which
we have seen at times drooping grace-
fully over the sides.
As will be noticed, the flowers may be
viewed from many sides, the situation
being at the convergence of several paths;
and near by is a large driveway skirting
Memorial Hall.
On the left of the picture will be noticed
the American linden, Tilia americana;
on the right, the European plane, Pla-
tanu, orientalis, both indispensable
trees for planting along wide avenues.
The linden has a somewhat prim habit
when young, and at all times makes a
good appearance. Caterpillars seem
rather more fond of it than could be
wished. The plane is free from all insect
pests. Both are grand trees for places
where lots ot room exists, for they will
need it in the course of time. Those who
plant these trees in city streets ot but
average width, will repent of it in time.
On the left, in the distance, may be seen
a portion ot an avenue of assorted oaks,
skirting the sides ot a wide driveway.
Great success followed the planting of
these oaks, though they were ot some
size when set out. But they were well
pruned, and the season being Autumn,
they were well mulched tor Winter, the
result being tt;at hardly one missed.
The name of this particular part ot the
Park, "John Welsh Memorial,'' wasgiven
it to honor the Hon. .lohn Welsh, at one
time our minister to England, whose
efforts in behalf ot the Exposition ot
187G did so much toward its success.
Mr. Welsh was also a warm friend of the
park. Joseph Meeuan.
"I wonder what Eve said when she
found she had to leave the garden ot
Eden," said Mr. Grumpins wife. "It
wa.s just' about what all women say
when they are starting on a journey,
she complained that she didn't have a
thing to wear," — Washington Star.

BOOKS RECEIVED.
Missouri Botanical Garden, Twelfth
Report, 1901 . — The present volume well
maintains the high standard of its prede-
cessors. From the report of Dr. Trelease
the Director ot the Garden we learn that
" includingthe borderof thenewly graded
addition and the woody plants destined
for the North American synopsis but yet
in nursery, the Garden now contains
9,194 species and varieties ot plants (in-
cluding annuals which were cultivated in
their season and are likely to be cultivat-
ed or replaced by others another Spring )
of which 5,547 are annuals or hardy per-
ennials, and 3,647 are cultivated under
glass." In the new additions to the plant
houses, small, but representative collec-
tions of succulents and ot acacias and
acacia like plants have been planted out
in a natural manner, and it is expected
that tar better specimen plants represent-
ing these groups will be grown than has
been possible while they were cultivated
in pots and tubs. The records ot the
gatekeeper show that in 1900, 63,882
persons visited the Garden, a smaller
number than during the year previous,
the decrease being attributed to the car
strike prevalent in 1900. Among the
scientific papers included in the volume
are: " A Disease of the Black Locust,"
by Herman Van Schrenk; "Crotons of
the United States,' by A. M. Ferguson;
" An Undescribed Agave from .\rizona,"
by J. W. Tourney; "A Cristate Pellea,"
by Dr. Trelease, also "A Pacific Slope
Palmetto," by the same author; and
" Garden Beans Cultivated as Esculents,"
by H. C. Irish. Each of these papers is
illustrated by half-tone engravings. Mr.
Irish has made an exhaustive study of
his subject, and those desiring to "know
beans" thoroughly should procure a
copy ot his contribution, which, we be-
lieve, has been issued as a separate. Any
of the Garden publications can be pur-
chased from the director, at approxi-
mately the cost ot publication.
A good feature, among many in Good
Housekeeping tor July, is an article by
ProtesBor Willis G. Johnson on the latest
scientific methods ofextermiuatinginsect
pests.
For a Domestic Parcels Post.
One of the most exhaustive presenta-
tions in favor of a domestic and foreign
parcels post tor the United States ap-
pears in the Congressional Record ot De-
cember 20 last, as supplementing the re-
marks of Hon. .1. H. Bromwell, ot Ohio,
on tlie bill to amend taxation under the
War Expenditures Act. The author of
the statement is Mahlon A. Winter, ot
Washington. Speaking ot the need ot a
domestic parcels post, Mr. Winter says:
"The need ot a domestic parcels post is
so evident that it seems hardly necessary
to urge reasons for its adoption. There
is one point, however, which seems in
previous arguments to have been over-
looked. This point in itself should be a
matter ot special consideration.
" There are many millions of people in
the United States who live at a distance
from any express ofBce, and consequently
when anything is sent to them they must
go tor it in person or procure the services
ot some neighbor or friend. In rural lo-
calities, where excursions to railroad sta-
tions are not an every day occurrence, it
often pro ves very aggravating to be com-
pelled to suspend the performance of im-
portant duties and make a special trip
to a distant express oflice tor one little
package, which, perchance, is very much
needed.
"As is well known, the express compa-
nies are very arbitrary in their dealings
with their patrons. For illustration, it
the package is not called tor within a few
hours after its arrival, no matter how
many miles the person for whom it is in-
tended may live from the express office,
the express agent is instructed by the ex-
press company to report the same to
them, and they Immediately send the
person or firm who sent the package a
form communication, reading about as
follows:
; 'Goods consigned to .John .Smith re-
ported by express agent at Jonesboro as
remaining on hand uncalled for. Please
instruct us as to disposition.'
" The receipt of such a notice by the
party or firm sending the goods is very
apt to impair or affect the business stand-
ing of the party ordering, who, although
having no intention whatever ot default-
ing in accepting the goods ordered, is
confronted by embarrassing and what
almost seems actual evidence ot such^an
intention.
"If a domestic parcels post was in
vogue such a situation could not arise,
for the package would be brought direct
to the postofiice ot the consignee. The
time, trouble and expense that would
thus be saved to our rural community
should constitute no trivial factor in the
consideration of this question, while we
are weighing the advisability of asking
Congress to give us a domestic parcels
post, tor though in asingle and individual
instance the economy is not conspicu-
ously manifest, the accumulation of such
instances rolls up a total that would
make the bank accounts ot many of our
multi-millionaires seem like a parody on
wealth. Someone who has taken the
trouble to dig for tacts in the case and
compute results has said that the enor-
mous sum ot $90,000,000 is annually
spent by the people ot this country who
reside in non-railroad communities, ow-
ing to the lack ot proper facilities for
package transportation. In no event
could the adoption of a domestic parcels
post beconsidered as anything but a bril-
liant stroke ot national economy."
The following table shows what it
costs to send a package from any post
oflice to any other post office in Great
Britain:
Cents.
1-pound package 6
2-pound package 8
3-pound package 10
4-pound package 12
5-pound package 14
6 pound package 16
7-pound package 18
S-pound package 20
9-pound package 22
11-pound package 24
In Germany it only costs t2yo cents to
send an 11-pound package from any
post office to any other post office. The
same low rate also applies on German
packages that are sent to .Austria-Hun-
gary.
in Switzerland packages are carried
from one post office to anyotherpost office
in the Republic tor 8 cents tor each 11-
pound package.
Compare these rates with those charged
by our post office authorities, under the
present method, and also by the express
companies, say, tor seeds and plants, and
the advantage of a parcels post system
at once becomes apparent from a finan-
cial standpoint.
Mr. Winter urges, and his views will
receive general endorsement, that "Con-
gress should be earnestly importuned to
establish a liberal domestic parcels post
at an early date, and that the postal
authorities should also be persistently
urged to begin negotiations at once with
every foreign government tor the imme-
diate inauguration ot a foreign parcels-
post service with each respective govern-
ment. To that end let every business
commercial and social organization peti-
tion or memorialize their representatives
and senators to do what they can for
the institution of this system, and let
every voter see that his congressman
knows his views, and urge him to their
enactment."
We recommend that the pamphlet in
question be carefully studied by the Par-
cels Post Committee ot the S. A.F. O. H.;
it contains much food tor thought.
Import and Export Statistics.
The following exports and imports of
plants, shrubs, seeds, etc., are tor the
month of May.
The dutiable imports ot plants, shrubs
and vines amounted to $21,454 in May,
1901, as compared with $52,303 worth
imported in May, 1900, which shows
quite a decrease. The free imports ot
seeds in May, 1901, were valued at $59,-
134, as compared with $45,170 worth
in May, 1900. The dutiable imports ot
seeds amounted in May, 1901, to $37,648
against $59,662 worth imported in May
ot last year.
The exports ot seeds from the United
States to other countries amounted in
May, 1901, to $115,177, as against
$73,466 worth in May, 1900. The coun-
tries to which the United .States exported
seeds, were the United Kingdom, which
received shipments to the value of $51,-
680 in May, 1901, as against $11,473
worth in May, 1900.
The shipments to France amounted to
$793 Jn May, 1901, as compared with
$6,513 worth shipped in May, 1900.
Germany imported seeds from the United
.States to the valueof $1,700 in May, 1901,
as compared with $4,988 in May ,1 900. An
increase is noted in the shipments of seeds
this May to British North America, being
$56,396 compared with $32,352 worth
in the corresponding month of 1900.

Pan-American Notes.
The I'ark and Boiilevanl ('(iiiunissiuii
of tlie city of Detroit, in a very KriU'i"""
manner or spirit, luive sent on plants in
larfie number and variety to occupy a
space nortli of and directly adjoinins' Hor-
ticultural Ituildinjj;, details of which we
hope to Kive next week.
'I'lie leading attraction florally now is
the F. I?. I'ierson f'o.'s bed of Crimson
iUimliler roses. This embraces an area
of l,.'i(io square feet, somewhat irrei/cular,
oblonn' shaped. In Ihe central portion
the plants are sort of standard trained,
while surrounding such, and including'
about four-fifths of all, the canes were
tied down to wire fastenings about eight
inches from the ground. This resulted
in the breaking of a seemingly unlimited
number of hud-producing shoots, and
the result now is a sheen of rosy red most
telling in effect as color goes, and in
shade far richer and attractive to the eye
than the color seen in forced flowers.
It is one of the Exposition sights to be
remembered. Viin.
Paeonies at Pan-American.
Editor Florists' Exchange :
In last week's issue of The Florists'
Exchange, under "Pan-American Notes,"
your correspondent, Vidi, scarcel.v does
our collection of pjvonies full justice.
He says: ".John Charlton iV: Sons, Ko-
chester, N. Y., fill a table with 20 vases
of pa'onies, mostly named varieties."
To be exact, our exhibit comprised 34
distinct varieties, six blooms of each
kind: all of which werecorrectl.v named.
Also four vases, in four distinct colors,
25 blooms of each variet.v, which also
werecorrectl.v named. This season has
been very unsatisfactory forpa^onies, and
the above were all we could cut from a
collection of S8 varieties.
We hold that all flowers and plants
Avhen not named, ought to l)e excluded
from exhiliitions a rule which ought to
be rigidly enforced.
John Charlton & Sons.

The Market.
Tills is the worst kind of weather
for the flower business. The thermometer
has been reaching the 100 mark each day
for sever.il <lays. When the 1st of July
arrives the lietter class of store trade is
about over for theseason; lint tlie street
peddlers manage to do a thriving trade,
owing to the usuall.y large crowd of vis-
itors in the cit.v. The present hot spell
lias had the effect of demoralizing this
branch of the cut Hower outlet and there
is simply " nothing doing. "
The early closing movement among a
majority of the wholesale houses went
into effect Monday last, 4 o'clock now
being the closing hour with a good many
of the stores. The help in some cases are
getting a. lialf day off every alternate day
and they prefer that system to quitting
at 4 o'clock ever.v day; thus it happens
that some stores are keeping open all
da.v,and the employes are just as well, or
better, satisfied.
The heat is having- a serious effect upon
the roses coming in. Some of the finer
grades that arrive are practically full
blown when received, and an hour or so
on the tables makes short work of all of
them.
There is no such thing as clearing out
on any kind of stock; probabl.v the best
selling flower is lily of the valley.
Carnations are ten times too plentiful
for the demand. Lilies, daisies, coreop-
sis, sweet peas, etc., are a perfect glut.
Gladiolus are becoming more plentiful,
but have not yet reached an overstocked
condition.
The next regular meeting of the New-
York Florists' (Jlub will be iield Monday,
the 8tli inst., on boanl the excursion
boat. This should make an ideal place
for a meeting and there should be a large
attendance. Five new members are to
be elected at this meeting.
The enthusiasm in the outing contin-
ues. Some of the committee, accompa-
nied by I'resident Sheridan, visited Locust
I'oint last week and speak highly of its
availability for such a purpose. Ample
shade is afforded, and the bathing facili-
ties are ;ill right— two necessities in these
dog days.
.\ndi'cw Morton, for many years witli
Teter Henderson & Co., intends sailing
for England on the S. S. Servia, July t).
Barney Morris, of Brookl.vn, for over
.30 years employed as a gardener in Pros-
pect I'ark, succumbed to the extreme
iieat Tuesda.v night last. He was born
on .lune 10, 171)2, in County Cavaii, Ire-
land. .\ltliough not a memberof the So-
city of Old Brooklyuites, he was the old-
est citizen fif the borough. He was con-
sidered a fixture of the Park, and the
news of his death will bring genuine sor-
row to hundreds of women and children
wht) frequented the grassy lawns and
shaded walks, where he always had a
cheery word for those he knew. Mr.
Morris left three daughters, a son and a
granddaughter. He had been married
three times, his third wife surviving him.

Trade Conditions.
Business has now settled down to
the usual Summer (lulet, last week wind-
ing it up all arcjund. The school festival
work occasioned the only demand for
flowers. A great (luantity was used; in
all 3,:iOO bouquets were ordered by the
city. Roses, carnations, feverfew, cand.v-
tuft and sweet Williams were in demand,
and sohl well. The prices were held at
about where they have been for some
time past. H.vbrid roses were very plen-
liul and were mostly used in this work,
selling at $1.50 per 100; and short Lib-
erty, Mrs. Pierpont Morgan, etc., were
also used i|uite extensively. Bride and
Bridesmaid are shortening up in supply,
some of the growers having thrown out
their plants. American Beaut.v hold out
pretty well at same prices, and Kaiserin
.\ugusta Victoria and Souvenir du Presi-
dent Carnot are coming in very good,
being in greatest demand.
C'arnations continue in supply far in ex-
cess of the call, inan.y selling at 2.5c. to
35c. per 100, while the best quality, when
bnuglit in large lots, often fetches not
more lli;in .50c. Extra stock, however,
is held at 75c. to f 1, the latter being for
white and variegated varieties.
.Sweet peas from outside have become
very plentiful, and are in great variety ;
tiut tlie liemand is hardily heavy enough
to clean them up; 25c. per 100 is tlie
ruling figure for No. 1 stock, while the
smaller gr.ides sell at 15c. to 20c.
Here and There.
Del Cartwright, salesman for the
Wabau Rose Conservatories, was mar-
ried on Tuesday evening, July 2.
W. J. Stewart and Jos. A. Dirwanger,
of Portland, Me., have gone on a fishing
trip for four or five days.
P. Welcli spent Friday last athisi'ot-
tage at Old Orchard, Me., getting it read.v
for the season. He expects to have the
family setted there for the Summer in a
few days.
Frank Good has gone to Newport, R.
I., for the Summer to his old position
there w'ith Mrs. Fadden.
Severy & Co. have closed their store
until September 15.
An agreement is being circulated among
the florists on the Back Bay calling for
5 o'clock closing during the mouths of
.July and .\ugust, which is meeting with
general approval. F. J. N.
nansfield, Mass.
The new greenhouse being built by F.
J. Evans is 25 x 125 feet. He is having a
20 h. p. boiler set for heating.
H. P. Buckley.
Henry Peck Buckley, of Springfield, 111.,
died June 24, aged 50 years. He had
been a sufferer for six months. Last
Christmas he was stricken with paralysis
and since that time had been confined to
his bed most of the time. Deceased was
born in Shopiere, Wis., May 26, 1851.
He went to Springfield in 1874 with his
father and the two opened a feed and
fiour store where Foster's livery stables
now stand. March 9, 1876, he was mar-
ried to Ella Conkling, the daughter of W.
J. Conkling, and seven children have been
born to them. The present business of
florist was started 17 years ago. This
he had built into an extensive establish-
ment. A widow, four sons and three
daughters survive him.

Facts Pertaining to Plant Life.
By C. L. Allen.
(Continued from page 643.)
We did not start out to show the idea
of plant life, but its usefulness. In order
to do that it seemed quite necessary to
show the analogy between it and animal
life; here the development of the one is
In exact ratio of that of the other. The
man and the plant are but parts of the
great principle we term life. The plant
is to man what the boiler is to the en-
gine; when the engineer increases the
power, he first increases boiler capacity.
When man increases soul energy, and a
loTe for the beautiful, the plant shows
more beauty in the color of its flowers,
and greater excellence in the quality of its
fruits. The flower rewards the love for
flowers, by an increase in size, perfection
in form aiid intensity in colors.
When nature was rude and uncon-
quered, when to exist was a struggle, the
sweet William satisfied a taste tor
pinks. Development in the conditions of
lite made an increase in the love tor the
beautiful a necessity, and the Lawson car-
nation developed from the common gar-
den pink to supply it.
The development of our common gar-
den vegetables, the seedsman's ideal, is a
better illustration of the plant's obedience
to the command to grow— to grow — in
harmony with the development of other
forms of life. In order to more clearly
show this we must needs take up the geo-
graphical distribution of plants.and their
change through climatic influence, and
condition, together with the variation in
the character of the soil.
As we said at the beginning of our pa-
per,the fauna and flora of every degree of
temperature were adapted to each other's
necessities. As heat is one of the three
main elements of plant growth, each and
every form was adapted to the existing
conditions.
Linnaeus, tlie immortal botanist of
ITpsal, said in the poetical and precise
style which was a marked peculiarity of
his: " The dynasty of the palms reigns
in the warmer regions of the globe; the
tropical zones are inhabited by whole
races of trees and shrubs; a rich crown
of plants surrounds the plains of South-
ern Europe; armies of green grasses and
grains occupy Holland and Denmark;
numerous tribes of mosses are cantonned
in Sweden, but the grey rock mosses
alone vegetate in cold and frozen Lap-
land, the most remote habitable spot of
Thus we see that each country, each
changing degree of temperature, has its
particular plants. We find at the foot of
the Alps, the plants of France and Italy;
at their summit we find the plants of the
frozen North; and the same northern
plants we find again at the summit of the
mountains of Africa.
The most singular phenomenon of plant
life is that each was created for a specific
work, for which It has special appliances,
and it does none other. The plants from
malarial districts take from the atmos-
phere elements injurious to animal life;
these are safely stored up in the bark,
and are the best known specifics for the
diseases that abound and prevail in those
districts. The same plants removed to
healthful districts, where the cUmatic
conditions are favorable for their growth,
the bark of the tree does not contain
a single particle of the same element.
Extreme temperatures produce extreme
results. It is from the extremes of cli-
mate that we draw our drugs, perfumes
and poisons, and all the plants whose
properties are in excess. Temperate cli-
mates, on the contrary, only produce
temperate things. The mildest of herbs,
the most wholesome of vegetables, the
most refreshing of fruits, the quietest of
animals, the most polished of men, are
the heritage of the mildest climates.
The plant will take from the tempera-
ture and soil of a given locality certain
food products, that will sustain the ani-
mal forms indigenous to that locality;
but will not, if taken to another. We
marvel at the fact of the Chinese living on
so small a quantity of rice — that was
creative design. The same Chinaman
could not subsist on the same quantity of
rice here, even though it were grown in
China; here he must have vegetables and
meat, or immediately go into a decline.
There is not a spot on the face of the
earth where human beings can dwell, but
where the means of support have been
furnished, all necessities have been antici-
pated and supplied.
The raining tree of the Canaries ( Lau-
rus canariense) shows how carefully the
children of men have been provided for.
This tree furnishes a regular supply of
pure water to an island destitute of that
blessing. This interesting tree is an ever-
green of considerable size, with thick
leaves and wide-spreading branches.
Every morning a mist arises from the sea
which rests on the thick leaves of the tree,
and distils in drops, during the remainder
of the day, till it is at length exhausted.
The water which distils from it furnishes
every family on the island with what is
sufficient tor domestic purposes, and per-
sons are provided by the council to
equally distribute the necessary supplies.
Never was the bountiful provision of
nature more wonderfully evinced than in
furnishing mankind with bed and bed-
ding in the savage wilderness of Lapland.
Here the great hair moss, which the bot-
anist has chosen to call Poly triehum com-
mune, grows luxuriantly in the damp for-
est, and is used for this purpose. This
moss grows in immense patches, and
from which a surface is cut, as large as
required for mattress and bolster, sepa-
rating it from the earth beneath; and
although the roots are scarcely branched,
they are nevertheless so much entangled
as not to be uprooted from each other.
This mossy covering is very soft and elas-
tic, not growing hard by pressure; a
smaller portion is made to serve as a
coverlet, and nothing could be more
warm and comfortable. When it becomes
I'The cow tree of Soutli America is one
of the best possible illustrations of the
wisdom displayed by the Creator in pro-
viding for every creation, and for every
condition in life. This tree forms large
forests on the arid, rocky plains of South
America, being the most abundant along
the sea coast of Venezuela, growing more
than 100 feet high, with a trunk 6 or 8
feet in diameter, without branchesfor the
first 60 or 70 feet of its height. The leaves
are of a leathery texture, strongly veined
and of a deep shining green color. They
closely resemble those of the rubber tree,
so freiiuently met in the window garden,
only those of the cow tree are slightly
elliptical in form, and terminate in a
sharp point. This tree .yields a copious
supply of a rich and wholesome milk,
which is said to be as nutritious as that
from the cow. Strange as it may appear,
the cow tree belongs to the same natural
order which embraces the bread fruit
tree and the fabled upas, and is but
slightly removed from the order which
includes the fig, and the mulberry, and
also the caoutchouc, or true rubber tree,
which furnishes the true india-rubber of
commerce.
The bland and nutritious juice yielded
by the cow tree has been found on analy-
sis to contain .30 per cent, of a gelactine,
the analogous principle of lactine or

too hard and compressed, its former elas-
ticity is restored by a little moisture.
" In" the South Sea Islands there grows,
in great abundance, what is known as
the bread tree, the fruit of which is the
principal food of the natives for eight
months of the year. The fruit is about
the size of a large cocoanut, has a rind
and core, the same as the apple. The
fruit is as white as snow, and of about
the same consistency as white bread. It
is either roasted or fried in palm oil be-
fore being eaten, and then is a tasteless
food, but as such it satisfies the wants of
an uncivilized race. But it shows how
wisely every creation is provided for, and
that with the development of the race
there will be a proportionate development
of food to sustain it.
This tree, without the slightest care in
cultivation, supphes nearly every want
of the natives. The wood is used in build-
ing houses and boats; a cloth is made of
the inner bark, which furnishes all the
clothing the uncivilized require in a tropi-
cal climate; the male catkins serve for
tinder; the leaves for wrapping up food,
and tor wiping hands instead of towels;
while the juice of the tree makes a valua-
ble cement for filling the cracks of water
vessels, and in making boats waterproof.
The tree is to these natives what the oak
was to the early Britons, when it furn-
ished their principal food when they were

sugar of animal milk. The juice is ob-
tained from the stem ot the tree by mak-
ing incisions, and is collected in gourds
by the natives. We are indebted for the
fii'st accurate account ot this tree, which
thus curiously comtjines the functions ot
animal and vegetable life, to Baron Hum-
boldt Casmos. He drank ot the milk at
Porto Cabello, and describes it as thick,
gelatinous, bland and possessing a balm
and agreeable odor. It is used along
with Cassava and Indian corn bread, and
is highly nutritious, which is seen by the
natives growing sensibly fatter during the
season when the milk is yielded the most
copiously. When exposed to the air, a
curdy matter which resembles cheese
separates from the fiuid, and is so-called
by the natives, who profess to be able to
recognize in the color and thickness of
the foliage the trunks that yield the most
juice, as the herdsman distinguishes by
external signs the best milch cow.
"It is not here," says Humboldt, "in
the solemn shades ot forests — the majes-
tic course of rivers— the mountains draped
in eternal frost that excite our emotion.
A few drops of vegetable juice recalls to
our minds all of the powerfulness and
fecundity of nature. On the barren flank
ot a rock grows atreewith leathery, and,
apparently, dry leaves. Its large, woody
roots can scarcely penetrate into the
stony earth. For several months of the
year not a single shower moistens its
leaves and branches. It appears dead''
and dried; but when the trunk is pierced
there flows from it sweet and nourishing
milk. It is at the rising of the sun this
vegetable fountain is most abundant."
Familiar objects in nature do not ex- '
cite curiosity, from the fact ot their being
familiar. Anything that is constantly
before the eye, the eye does not care to in-
vestigate; but anything out ot the com-
mon immediately interests us. The most
beautiful flowers, the most delicious of
fruit, when common, are not sought, or
highly esteemed. We pay but littleatten-
tion — we scarcely bestow a thought on
the wise provision made for our suste-
nance. We return thanks in a general
mechanical way for the blessings provided
for our use, without stopping to consider
the tact that man's necessities, even to
the most minute detail, were fully consid-
ered long betorehehad a being. An illus-
tration of this may be seen in the wild
cabbage found on the Island ot Desola-
tion or Kerguelan Land. This cabbage
was first discovered by Captain Cook, in
his voyage around the world, and after-
wards by Sir.Ioseph Hooker, who named
it Pringlea Antiscorbutica.
The Island of Desolation has an appro-
priate name, being situated In the center
of the Southern Ocean — a cold, humid,
barren, volcanic rock, on which is found
but 18 species ot vegetation, this cabbage
being more abundant than all others
combined, and is more particularly abun-
dant near the coast. Its root-stalks are
from 3 to 4 feet long and lie close to the
grounds, bearing at their extremities
large solid, white heads, sometimes 18
inches in diameter, so like the common
cabbage, that it growing in the garden,
they would scarcely excite attention.
Its existence in that desolate island, so
far removed from civilization as to be
considered the most remote of all islands
from any continent, suggests two impor-
tant, although somewhat different con-
siderations. The first and most impor-
tant is, that the Dispenser of all that is
good should have placed there a plant so
valuable to those who traverse those lit-
tle visited seas,subject to one of the most
tearful ot all human diseases, scurvy, and
also presented it to such visitors the mo-
ent they put their toot on shore, where,
from the plant's luxuriance and abun-
dance it is likely to prove tor ages to come
an inestimable blessing to ships touching
at this far distant isle, it being an almost
infallible remedy tor that most dreaded
disease.
The next consideration is, how came it
there? As Dr. Hooker said, "the contem-
plation ot a vegetable, very unlike any
other in botanical affinity, so eminently
fitted for the food of man, and yet inhab-
iting tlie most desolate and inhospitable
spot on the surface of the globe, must
equally fill the mind ot the scientific in-
quirer and the common observer with
wonder." A plant nowhere else recog-
nized and found to possess virtues where
they are the most required, leads to but
one conclusion, viz., a special creation,
tor a specific purpose, and that tor the
time and place it occupies.
In this land ot wonders, new ones con-
stantly arise, and this plant furnishes
another evidence of the care given the
preservation and reproduction ot every
species. The principle of cross-fertilization,
and its importance is fully understood,
but this plant more clearly illustrates its
necessity, by a visible manifestation ot
creative design, than any other recorded.
All the brassica are fertilized by the aid
of a small winged insect that makes noc-
turnal visits, in swarms, when the plants
are in flower; the Pringlea, grown in the
center ot the island, is fertilized in the
same manner, but near the coasts, its
flowers have become modified for fertili-
zation by the wind, and that because of
the tempestuous gales ever prevalent,
where winged insects cannot exist, be-
cause at every fiighttliey would be blown
into the sea and perish.
Thus was every particle ot the earth's
surface covered with some useful plant,
long, long before the advent ot man, in
order that his every necessity should be
provided tor in every situation in which
he might be placed, and in nearly every
locality, the greater the necessity the
more abundant the provision.
Man, to a great extent, is what his en-
vironments make him; he is a child of
circumstance. Heredity may have laid
the foundation, but the superstructure of
manhood will be built up ot the material
that surrounds him. His growth will de-
pend upon his opportunities for growth.
He will build broad and high, narrow
and low, according to his surroundings,
and in his obedience to the command to
grow — to grow, until the limit of possi-
bilities is reached.

(1G6) Piff Manure for Carnations.
— I note what you say in regard to pig
manure tor carnation culture indoors.
Please advise me further. I had my sod
soil on heapMa.T 1. The soil pile is 20 feet
in length, 8 feet wide and 4 feet high. I
intermixed about 1,800 pounds of pig
manure, and intend using the soil for in-
door carnations in September. Please
say if it is safe or not to do so. — Sub-
scriber.
— Seeing that the pig manure was
mixed with the soil as early as May 1,
and the latter will not be put into the
houses until September, the manure will
be well incorporated with the soil by
that time, and it will be probably safe to
use it. We would, however, to be on the
right side, give a good dressing of lime,
and turn the heap over, so as to thor-
oughly intermix the compost.
(1G7) Sulphate of Ammonia. — Is
sulphate of ammonia good for palms and
the general run of plants? — W. A. P.
— If one were trying to grow palms in
a soil that had no nourishment in it. then
a little sulphate of ammonia might do
good occasionally, but the florist who is
growing his plants for sale, and is ex-
pecting them to give satisfaction to his
customers, had better grow them in good
soil and eschew the artificial fertilizer.
(168) Flue Heating.— What kind of
coal is best for a small brick furnace,
straight flue. The flue is .3.5 feet in length
and draws splendidly. If I add.") feet will
it lessen the drawing capacit.v of the
flue?— W. A. P.
— For heating the flue we would advise
the use of the best hard coal. Adding 5
feet to the length of the flue will not im-
pair the drawing power.
Summer Flowering Orchids.
There is a steady demand for orchids
practically the year round, and this de-
mand is increasing tremendousl.v, particu-
larly in midwinter. Fashion sets her seal
of approval on these flowers, and puts
them up on a pedestal, where by their
own intrinsic merit and beauiy they rich-
ly deserve to be, for unriucstiou.ibly tliey
are the aristocrats amonfi' Hhwit.s. The
chief flower among orchiils ^^s^'(I by the
florist is, of course, the cattleya with its
gorgeous coloriug, and in most cases
lovely delicate odor. While cattleyas
will, in common with other flowers, not
be in such request during the Summer
months, in the markets generally, there
is alwaysademand forthemat the places
where w^ealth and fashion most do con-
gregate.
Cattleyas.
To supply this demand there is practi-
cally but one cattleya that will (lower at
the time needed, that is to say, during
July and .\ugust, and that species is
Cattleya gigas. It blooms from .June to
September, Inclusive, and is one of the
mostsuperbof tlie\A'hole genus. Unfortu-
nately, it is also our i>t the most difficult
to flower satisfactorily, so many of the
breaks coming blind, unless the plant
happens to be grown under just the right
conditions. There have been bought
great numbers of plants of C. gigas dur-
ing the past .year or two to supply the
Summer demand for cut flowers, and,
owing to the fact that it is not an easy
variety to handle, quite a few disappoint-
ments have resulted. One of the secrets
in growing ('. gigas successfull.v is to get
the bulbs thoroughly ripene<l in the Au-
tumn, whether they have flowered or
not. To this end, one successful grower I
know, puts his plants outside in a semi-
shaded position. We ourselves reduced
the water supply at the roots considera-
bly in the early Fall last year, and the
good effects of thus thoroughly ripening
the bulbs is very apparent, as virtually
every growth made tliis yearisflowering.
C. gigas will stand more heat than the
average cattleya, and also should bv
grown in a very lightly shaili'd house.
Excellent results have briMi obt;iiiir.l l»_\
growing it in a rose orotlicrphnu house,
with only just a little shade on the glass
Immedately over the plants, which are
suspended close to the roof. In such a
position it would naturally follow that
a plant would require much more water,
Fig 2. view in the Colonial Garden, Ppospeet Park, Brooklyn,
N. Y.
as evaporation would be a great deal
more rapid than in a house with the glass
entirely shaded.
Let me remark here that many begin-
ners make a great mistake in sui>posiug
that any kind of cattleya needs a densely
shaded house to grow in. A cattle.va,

oiviusly.will stand, nay, enjoy, some .sun-
light, though, of course, at tliis season of
tiie year shade is a necessity.
Z In growing C. gigas, I believe the time
the plant needs the most careful handling
is in March and April, when the young-
growths are pushing up. At this period
the plants should be high up in the roof
where they will get the air all around
them and under almost clear glass. Then
the t;rowtlis w ill lie sturdy and firm and
almost certain to sheath when their time
comes. On the other hand, if the plants
are kept close ami dark at the time men-
tioned, the growths will push up long,
soft, and sappy looking and you can
figure up your crop with the greatest of
ease, for there will be hardly any of the
growths that will flower.
Importations of Cattleya gigasproduee
so many lovely forms and types that
the demand for newly importe<l plants
always exceeds the supply. Cattleya
Mendelii will flower as late as the middle
of .Inly if one happens to strike some of
the laterfloweringtyjies; but as the bulk
of the flowers come in May and .Tune it
can hardly be classed as a Summerflower-
ing species. Our records show that our
cut of last year(some 2,000flowers) was
spread over aperiod of four months from
the middleof March tothemiddle of .luly.
As an Easter flower, C. Mendelii com-
mands a record price. It is one of the
most vigorous growers we have, many
f)f the plants making double breaks anil
s<ime evi'U triple ones. It makes up and
sheaths late in the Fall and should be
kept quiet during the Winter and not
.syringed overhead to any great extent.
If sprayed too much during the dark days
the sheath will sometimes rot and the
embrytinie b\ids rot also. It need not be
inferred from the foregoing that C. Men-
delii is difficidt to manage. On the con-
trary, it is very easily hanilled, plain coni-
monsense only being necessary for its
successful culture.
Cattle\n < i.'iskelliana is in England at
itw licst (lui-iiigthe months of August and
Sei»teuilier; hut here it seems unable to
resist the seductions of our Sju'ing sun
and comes rushing along with ('. Mossiip
C. Warneri, ('. Mendelii and all'the rest of
them in May and .June. We have some
that will flower, this month, but not as
many as we could wish. C. (jaskelliana
does not make up in the Fall and stand
over the Winter in sheath as does C. Men-
delii. -Ml the growths the plants make
in late Summer after flowering come
blind and about October they break
again and make a flowering growth, the
spike pushing up immediately the growth
is completed. If C. Oaskelliana would
only wait till August before it flowered
it would be a serious ri fal of C. gigas, for
it is very vigorous and a certain bloomer,
though hardly so rich in coloring.
Dendbobiusis.
D. Phahenopsis Schroderianum can be
easil.v brought into flower from July on-
ward if the demand is suflicient to make
it worth while, but for some reason diffi-
cult to explain it has never " caught on "
as a commercial flower to nearly the ex-
tent its graceful beauty deserves. To get
this variety in flower by July it should
be started in a good heat in January. It
can be very easily grown suspended from
the roof in a stove house with crotons
and such like plants. When the young
growths are just coming away they are
liable to damp off in dark weather if kept
too wet, but this need not occur if the
watering be carefully looked after and
the plants kept on the dry side until the
younggrowths are well advanced. When
the plants arc in flower they must of
course be placed in a cool, shad.v house it
it is desired to keep the (lowers for any
length of time. When a plant is in gooll
shape the old stems will throw out flow-
ers tor several seasons and they should
therefore not be cut away, as is some-
times done with other species of Dendro-
bium.
1). formosum can also be got In bloom
by .Tuly, if desired. This species produces
lovely, waxy white flowers, with a yel-
low throat and a tlelightful odor. The
variety giganteum produces much larger
flowers than the type. It sells readily
enough in the Fall and early Wmter, but
if it is started late to come in for late
work, the bulbs should be well ripened in
September, or the.^' will nt)t flower freel.^".
I), formosum is not an easy subject to
handle, biit if it is done well it can, like
most everything else, be made a lucrative
one. Chas. H. Tottv.

what can be done in the way of plant-
ing to obtain the best effects.
As is well known by all who have vis-
ited it. Prospect Park contains many
beautiful spots and none more so than
the Vale of Cashmere, a partial view of
which is given in fig. 1. Immediately in
the foreground is seen a portion of'the
large pool ; across the upper part of the
picture can be observed the long, rustic
arbor, completely covered with hardy
vines, and shading the rustic-furnished
grottoes, from which an elegant view of
the Vale can be obtained. The sides of
the slopes are planted chiefly with hollies
and rhododendrons, with an occasional
azalea or spir.ea dotted among them.
The paih,part of which is seen in the pic-
ture, winds gradually up the hill to the
right, and takes one direct into the rose
garden, a view of which we intend to
furnish in the near future.
Fig. 2 shows a mixed border in what
is known as the Colonial Garden. Every-
thing grown here is of the old-fashioned
order, and we caught the picture when
the iris were holding the position of
honor. The road in thecenter of the picture
isu.sed as adriveway.while the path seen
at the right leads down to the formal
flower garden.
Fig. :i shows the finest piece of Euony-
mus radicans variegata that we have
ever witnessed. The wall that It covers
is directly facing the Washington Irving
monument in what is known as Sleepy
Hollow. The euonymus was planted in
the Spring of 1893, and has long since
covered the wall completely.

BRIEFS FOR BUSY FLORISTS.
P.KONIES. — These llowers are in more
demand each year for cut flower pur-
poses, and although their flowering sea-
son is just past, and nothing is to be
done with them at this time, we want to
remind those florists who grow hardy
flowers for their own trade, that a good
sized bed of pieonies will be found as
profitable as any other hardy stock. Old
clumps can bedivided; or new plants can
be procured in the Fall, and that is the
best time to start a pspony bed, taking
care to give a good mulch of litter to
protect the plants through the Winter.
Fuchsias. — A few plants of these will
need to be kept over to provide stock for
another year. Take some of each variety
and pot them along so that they will
make good strong plants. It is much
better to have two or tlyee good plants
than a dozen weakly ones from which to
obtain cuttings.
Gloxinias. — As these commence to
flower the amount of moisture hitherto
kept in the house should be reduced; the
flowers will last much longer it the at-
mosphere be dry and a shading put on
the glass. An occasional watering with
w eak liquid manure should be given if
the pots are well filled with roots.
Chrysanthemums. — These need lots of
attention during the hot weather so far
as watering and syringing are concerned.
Keep the houses cool by throwing open
every .ventilator, and by sprinkling the
floors and sides several times a day. The
plants also will be better for being sy-
ringed overhead several times a day
when the weather happens to be exces-
sively hot.
Toronto.
The Market.
Business has continued fairly good
up to date, but there are signs of coming
slackness. Cut flowers, e-\cept carnations,
are selling well. The latter are a drug;
the departmental stores sold them last
Saturday at 10c. per dozen, or three
dozen for 25c. Of course, select stock
brings a better price, but the demand for
anything but really good flowers is very
limited. I'lvonies, .Spanish iris, gladiolus,
sweet peas, etc., are moving along fairly
well in large quantities, and the white
water lily, being very cheap, finds a
steady market.
The plant trade Is becoming somewhat
slow, and considerable quantities of bed-
ding stock are still on hand. The early
promise of an extra good season for bed-
ding plants has been spoiled by the cold,
wet weather. A great many of our peo-
ple spend their Summers out of town,
and when they are notable to plant their
places fairly early, they think it not
worth while to plant extensively; and
so a late season tells againstthe growers.
The dealers on the St. Lawrence mar-
ket have had a poor season, as so much
of their stock has been spoiled by the
weather. The growers have done better,
for they have generally got fair prices,

Weather and Trade Conditiona.
While we have had weather that
becomes a spirit of vacation -taking
among the masses, reports of the recent
heated term elsewhere seem to make us
BuJfalonians satisfied with the local
weather ileals. It has been morecheering
than some unexpected local bank fail-
ures this week — a surprise to everyone,
though not materially affecting thecraft.
Business kept up very decent till this
week. Some plant men are still inclined
to boast about the extent of late strag-
gling orders.
On Saturday last Palmer & Sons had a
decoration broad in surface, being an
order from the Chilian ministers at a din-
ner given by them in the EUicott Club
rooms. A map of North and South
America, each country properly propor-
tioned and filled solid in carnations of
various shades, and also named or let-
tered in immortelles, was arranged on a
1.3-foot diameter surface of galax leaves,
and occupied an upright position in an
end of the room, supplemented by groups
of palms. It was large, to say the least,
while also most effective.
Club Meeting.
The last meeting held in Kasting's
store was favored with a good attend-
ance. Coming convention matters were
discussed. W. F. Kasting, of theWaysand
Means Committee, reported an outlook
that seemed pleasing. The Exhibition
Committee advised that the two silver
cups to be donated by the Florists' Club
may be seen on display at Reinschs
jewelry store in Money block. E.xhibition
manager, Chas. H. Keitsch, stated that
though space is still to be had. the indica-
tions point beyond doubt to a lai'ge
exhibit.
A committee was appointed to report
on a special convention badge to be worn
only by local members.
Report was made that the City Park
Board ha<l consented to a complimentary
display of plants.
Captain Braik, of Games Committee,
reported the existence of improved pros-
pects for desirable bowling alleys con-
veniently located. The Audubon Club
grounds have been engaged for the shoot.
Calls were made by the president for vol-
untary individual prizes to be awarded
in bowling and shooting, and which was
responded to in named articles, cups,
etc, at values of 95 to $10 each, by the
following members: Secretary Legg,
Geo. McClure, President Kasting, C. T.
Guenther, Wm. C. Buechi, Chas. H.
Keitsch, W. A. Adams, Wm. Scott, and
James Braik.
Word was further received of the F. R.
Pierson Co.'s offer of a silver cup, valued
at $50, to be awarded the bowler mak-
ing the highest aggregate individual
score. With also the Hitchings & Co.,
the Lord & Burnham Co., and the Queen
of Edgely trophies to be rolled for, in-
terest should reach a pleasing high point.
The Committee on Entertainment, Wm.
Scott chairman, find it difficult to decide
in detail between various interesting fea-
tures, but hope to conclude a week later.
New faces among craft visitors greet
us almost daily. Many are purely bent
on the Pan-American attractions con-
nected with easy conditions bodily. This
week these we have with us, Wallace R.
Pierson, of Cromwell, Conn., accompa-
nied by R. Ludwig. On business intent,
we have had Bert Coakley, of Scranton,
Pa.; Harry Balsley, Detroit, and Martin
Renkauf, Philadelphia. Vini.
St. Lonis.
still Hot.
The extreme heat and drought men-
tioned in my last letter has remained
with us. In consequence the market is
practically bare of everything. Carna-
tions are the only flowers worth consid-
ering; they are still very good and bring
■Jic. to 2c. each. A few asters have arrived;
they sell at 50e. to $1 per 100; they are
not very good so far. Sweet peas are
out of the market. Roses, such as they
are, sell at 2c. to 4c.
Business is dull, and many don't want
any, simply because no stock can be had
to make a creditable showing. If relief
is not forthcoming soon, nothing can sur-
vive long, even with water. Red spider
is eating up such things asageratum and
salvia. Vincas seem rather to enjoy the
situation, as they bloom right along.
NotpB.
C. A. Kuehn has taken another
store in the building he occupies, giving
him an additional floor space of 25 x 100
feet. This will be used for wire work,
leaving the entire down stairs place'for
cut flowers and supplies. C. C. S.
Worcester, Mass.
One of the best rose' shows in years
was held .lune 27 at Horticultural Hall.
Extra nice stands of Dianthus barbatus,
Companula media and foxgloves were
also shown. The principal exhibits were
h. p. roses, which were never better in
flower and foliage. George McWilliams,
of Whitinsville, Mass., had one large
stand of 78 vases of roses, besides 100 or
more vases of the finest varieties of or-
chids and ferns. Being one of the judges,
he could not compete for premiums.
The competition in all the classes for
roses was close. All varieties had to be
named. For .30 vases of one flower each,
there were nine exhibitors. H. F. A. Lange
was first; Edward Hall, second; Wm.
OConnefl, third: Mrs. E. C. Brooks,
fourth; andMrs.H. A. .Jones fifth. Twelve
vases of one bloom each, seven exhitiit-
ors: First, E. Hall; second, Mrs. Jones;
third, Henry Ree. Six vases, eight exhib-
itors: First, Hall; second, Lange; third,
Jones; fourth. Brooks. Vase of 10
blooms of one color, lOexhibitors: First,

Hixon.
Basket of roses, nine exhibitors: First,
Lange; second, Jones; third, Mrs. W. A.
Forbes; fourth. Brooks. Moss roses, 30
vases: First, Jones.
Vegetables and flowers never looked
better than at present. For the past 10
days it has been very warm, and coming
just after a night's heavy rain has made
everything grow very fast. Bugs and
insects are not as numerous as in other
years, owing, I think, to the prevelance
of ail extra number of toads. J.
Grand Rapids.
Sizzling AVeatlier.
The heat is almost unbearable —
100 degrees in the shade. It is no fun
wheeling out dirt with the thermometer
sizzling at 120 degrees inside, yet the
men mop their brows and stick sturdily
to their job. Every few days we have a
terrific thunder storm, with heavy rain
and sometimes hail. During one of these
hail storms a range of lettuce houses two
miles out of the city was completely rid-
dled. The flf)rists were lucky to escape.
.lune weddings are all right, long may
they continue; they use up large quanti-
ties of flowers when you have them, and
help reduce the surplus. Another outlet
for flowers that still continues active, is
funeral work, it is remarkable how
steadily it keeps up.
July 2, there was an auction sale of the
effects and stock of the T. R. Renwick
estate. Some sold at ridiculously low
prices: :^00,000 Pheasant's Eye narcissus
went for $35, and 15,000 fine lily of the
valley for $2. Five greenhouses, glass
single strength, 12 x 14, with hot water
boilers, pipe, etc., including 10 acres of
land situated in thecity, willbeauctioned
off in a few days. As the Renwicks were
the pioneer florists of the city, they merit
more than passing notice, so in my next
I will give a brief history of the causes
which led to the final downfall of the
once best trade in town.
Bride and Bridesmaid roses are getting
very small. Some nice Kaiserin Augusta
Victoria and Meteor from young stock
are being received. G. F. C.
MontreaL
Notes.
In common with other centers we
are having some extremely hot weather,
but accompanied as it is with heavy
showers it is very favorable for outside
growth. Carnations at present are look-
ing especially fine; but the cut worm is
playing havoc with asters.
Bedding stock is all cleared away now
and as far as can be learned the season
has been a very good one indeed.
The retail store trade is finished now
that the wedding season is over. The
demand, however, for funeral work con-
tinues very good.
Club Notes.
Owing to the heavy cost of trans-
portation, the idea of holding the annual
picnic at Oka had to be abandoned and
this affair will be held at Isle Gros-Bois,
about the 17th inst. The visit to the
Silent Monks will not, however, be ne-
glected, as it is to be included in a series
of one day excursions to be taken by the
members Informally during the Summer.
The first will be to St. .\gatha des
Montes, starting from the Place Viger
Station at 9:15 a.m. on Sunday, 7th
inst.

Market Conditions.
It would seem as if we spoke too
quick about the hot weather being de-
layed, for it's here in all its fierjuess.
The thermometer stays close arouud 85
in the shade all the time, and at this
writing no relief is in sight. The flower
business is now virtually a thing of the
past until September and the chrysan-
themum come again. The stock arriving
amounts to very little. Roses are becom-
ing very small, and carnations are fast
losing their size also; only a few kinds
can be shipped with any degree of cer-
tainty. Eldorado and Ethel frocker
are good .Summercarnations and splendid
keepers. Sweet peas are in plenty, and
they are fine, at 2.5c. per 100, but there
is no great demand for them. Trade iu
general is not so good as last year's at
this time, owing to the extreme hot
weatlier.
Jottings.
Severe thunderstorms are numer-
ous, and much damage has been done by
hail and heavy winds.
B. P. Critchell attended the meeting of
park superintendents at Milwaukee last
week and reports having had a fine time.
W. A. Mann, of the Cincinnati Cut
Flower Co., is confined to his bed with
infl.ammatory rheumatism. Mr. Mann has
been ailing more or less for a number of
mouths, but we hope he will soon be
around again.
Herman Schlaachter, of Winton Place,
was the victim of a slick check worker
a short time since; fortunately the sum
was a small one. E. G. Gillett.
Kansas City, Mo.
A Hot June.
Kansas City is sweltering iu the
hottest .'una on record, and as there has
been but slight rain fall during May and
June, the effect of dust and heat together
is very trying. The florists are complain-
ing of considerable damage to field car-
nations, and the scarcity of outdoor
stock.
Many prominent funerals have called
for large quantities of stock that is diffi-
cult to get.
Destructive Hail Storm.
A severe hail storm visited the
southern portion of this city Saturday,
June 22. The hail belt seemed to have
been about a mile and a half wide. The
establishment of Mr. Kern, of Westport,
was almost completely wrecked, and he
will probably not rebuild the old range.
H. Blankenfeldt lost about 1,000 feet of
glass, and the damage to his field carna-
tions was considerable. M. Jarrettcounts
up 200 broken lights. Samuel Murray's
place was touched very lightly. The hail-
stones were the size of walnuts, and it
made little difference whether the glass
was single or double strength, thej went
through justthesame. Most of the losers
carry hail insurance.
Here and There.
The new floral company, recently
organized, and consisting of W. L. Uock
and Chas. Heite, is making rapid progress
on the 20,000-foot range, south of the city.
R. S. Brown & Sons have purchased
seven acres of land near Maywood, 10
miles east of Kansas City, and have the
material ready for 15,000 feet of glass,
intended for cut flowers alone. Their
Kansas City place will be run as a whole-
sale plant house.
A. Barbe will rebuild seven houses this
season, with a view to increasing his cut
flower stock at the sacrifice of the plant
business.
The reports from the nurserymen of
this section show that the demand for
flowering shrubs has increased heavily
over that of last year. The heaviest call
seems to be lor lilacs, desmodiums, liai'dy
hydrangeas, spiraeas and altheas.
Some of the florists have nearly finished
the benching of their forcing roses and
chrysanthemums, and the stock planted is
much the same as in former years, with
the exception of an increase of Golden Gate
rose, which has made a decided hit and
will be given much room.
Mr. Moll, of Joplin, Mo., was in the city
looking over stock.
Miss Mayme Hayes, daughter of James
Hayes, Topeka's leading florist, was
married Wednesday, June 18. Mr. and
Mrs. Samuel Murray attended the wed-
ding.

A meeting of the society was held at
the close of the exhibition; President
Smith was in the chair. An invitation
was received from the Florists' Club of
New York City to accompany them on
their annualouting to Locust Point, L.I.,
on July 8. The secretary' read the sched-
ule tor the November show; It was accep-
ted and referred to the Executive Commit-
tee. The secretary was instructed to
communicate with all donors to last
year's show and asked their co-opera-
tion for success this year.
William Harvey, of Ossining, was elected
to membership, and J. Donald, of Grey-
stone, Yonkers, proposed.
H. J. R.
Elmlra, N. Y.
The rose show of the Elmira Horticul-
tural .Society held June 21 and 22, was a
grand success in every particular. Over
700 chrysanthemum plants, donated by
E. B. Rudy, gardener for.I. .Sloat Fassett,
Grove P. Rawson and E. M. & H. N.
Hoffman, were given out to the school
children, and there are a few hundred left
for distribution, which can be had when
called for. The children are to care for
these plants until the Fall chrysanthe-
mum show, when prizes will be given
for the best bloom and the best plant.
The prizes for roses were all captured by
amateur members of the society.

Trade Poor; Weather Hot.
We are in the midst of a plienome-
nal bot spell, having had, so tar, 10 days
ofitwitli high point 97 degrees away
up on the Auditorium tower, aecording
to Goveniuient report, and 103 on the
streets. Nothing lil<e it since 1872 has
been experienced. This has brought on
a low quality of roses and carnations,
with a great decrease in the quantity in
the market.
In the matter of roses the work of
throwing out of old stock has been at its
height and it will be some little time be-
fore we see big rose cuts again. Ameri-
can Beauty are off color and Bride and
Bridesmaid aresuffering badly. Kaiserin
August Victoria and Meteor stand tlie
heat better. Some Golden Gate are fair.
The demand has been at a low ebb;
and many retail florists complain of the
June cut flower business as a whole.
As to prices, American Beauty will not
go above $2 for the very best; teas, $4
and $5 for perhaps a few of fair quality,
down to $1 and below to clear out. Car-
nations on Friday and Saturday picked
up a trifle, so that an effort was made to
get 50c. or 60c. a 100 for standards; the
early part of the week, $2 or $') per
1,000 was considered a good sale; few-
go now above $1 per 100. Lots of can-
didum lilies from Michigan are selling at
$1 to $2 per 100. Some considerable
shipments of good outdoor grown lougi-
florum lilies have come in from Memphis,
Tenn., where they are said to do well.
The trade in bedding plants has been
better than usual and extra stock has
fetched good prices. There has been a
shortage in plants suitable for vases and
windoT\' boxes, especiall.v variegated
vlnca and similar subjects. The plant
business will hold on some little time yet,
particularly with those who have a ceme-
tery trade. A few peripatetic wagoners
are still in the ring.
So far this locality has not suffered for
lack of rain to any great extent, hence
everything takes on a green and vigor-
ous growth. The park Iawn8>re still in
ttne shape.
Mr. Kanst, of Washington Park, has in
the north curtain of the conservatories
a magnificentaad varied/lisplay of fancy
caladiums; the plants have never been
better, and certainly are a very useful
class for Summer decoration of the con-
servator.v. The two century plants have
grown so tall that the heads of flowers
are away above the glass, a hole having
been made for their expansion. They are
of the .John Goode stock, obtained years
ago, and are 30 or 35 years old.
The Sumuiering of the Florists.
And now comes the time when flo-
rists have an off day with time to think
up the question, " where shall I go this
Summer?" Of course, a goodly number
will take in the convention at Buffalo in
August; others will go farther afield.
Mr. and Mrs. E. Wlenhoeber sailed on the
24tli of June from New York for a three
or Soar mouths' trip to Europe. Otto
Wittbold hopes to be back in time for the
convention, and it Is expected that his
father, George Wittbold, will also be there.
Ed. E. Pieser,of the Kennicott Bros. Co.,
leaves on July 10 for a 10 da.ys' trip to
West Baden to build up ready for a trip
to Michigan and other points, and may
stop off at Buffalo. G. H. Pieser will be
there anyway, he says. Flint Kennicott,
as usual, is summering at the old home-
stead, at Northtteld and believes there is
no place like it. A. L.Randall and family
will summer at Benton Harbor, Mich.,
on his farm. E. C. Amling is planing a
trip East about convention time. Be-
sides Buffalo, he will include Boston, New
York and Philadelphia. O. P. Baasett
at present is golfing at Himlsdale. Peter
Reinberg will be at Buffalo; George is
yet too busy, but looks forward to n.
hunting trip in the Fall. N. .f. Wietor
and a part.v of friends have for a week
been angling forbassin Tomahawk Lake
in Northern Wisconsin.
John Bohan has gone to the Salt I^ake
City Floral Co.. in Utah.
Oscar, son of Walter Kreitling, has gone
to Memphis, to learn the florist's business.
Wm. I>es Forges, late with the .Marion
Floral Co., takes charge of W. N. Kudu's

Albert Erickson, for a long time at
Vaughan's greenhouses at Western
Springs, was married June 25, to a young
lady of Austin, 111.
Anton Then and wife, N. Miller and
wife and C. Paasch, were at the Pan-
American with the Saengerfest folk last
week .

Pittsburg:.
Hot WeathKr Hurts Trade.
The intense heatot the past week had
n bad effect on trade. Social affairs were
somewhat abaudoned and entertainiu;;
was <lone in the siiuplest and most un-
conventional manner. The main thing
was to keep cool, and that was quite a
problem witli the thermometer at near
lOfi degrees. .Stock under glass is suffer-
ing greatly, roses particularly; carna-
tions are holiling out better. Lilies, both
candiduni and longiflorum.areabundant;
the former bring about .'ic, to (ic, a stem,
the latter about the same price for a
bloom. Sweet peas are plentiful and
cheap, but very perishable this sort of
weather.
Club News.
."it a special meeting of the Florists'
Club held last week in the store room of
the Pittsburg Cut Flower ('o.. the affairs
of the .Tune Hower show were disposed
of. all bills paid and a voteof thanks ten-
dered to those who took part. Three
new names were handed in tor member-
ship. It was decided to hold the annual
picnic about the middle of the month,
arrangements for which will be completed
at the next regular meeting which takes
place Jul.v 11, The pUace this year will
likel.v be I'.akerstown, on the P. & W.
U. R., about IS miles from the city,
where Fred I'.urki and others are putting
np a range of glass ht)uses for forcing
roses. Mr. I'.urki lias kimll.v offered the
place for the picnic.
Damaee l>y Storms.
Storms hare again done consldera-
ble damage to glass houses in this locali-
ty; this time not by water, as was the
case last week, but by hail ot good size,
which passed over a narrow strip in the
east end of the city, breaking much glass
in the Phipps conservatories and some at
Randolph & McClemens' place on Forbes
Street, very near by. The Park conserva-
tories suffered the most; it will require
several thousand dollars to replace the
broken glass. The ground glass used in
the large structures was considerably
more damaged than the plain glass in
the other houses, and the propagating
houses almost escaped injury. At Ran-
dolph & McClemens' establishment from
8(10 to 1.000 lights were broken, but the
damage to plants was not ot much con-
sequence. E. C. R.
Newport, R. I.
The florists ot this place have been no-
tified by the police that the.v must close
up their establishments Sundays. It Is
supposed that the inability to buyflowers
on Sunday will prove enough of a hard-
ship to cottagers to bring them and the
police authorities into a lively contro-
versy.

European Notes.
Tlie rains referred to In last week's
notes prove to have been very local,
chiefly affecting the southern districts.
A passing shower is all that has been ex-
perienced in thenorth where thedrotight,
bright sunshine and a pestiferous north-
east wind are playing havoc with every-
thing. This season certainly beats the
record.
The crop of crimson clover is now l)eing
harvested: the seed is small, but good.
Owing to t!ie high figures olitained last
season tlic f.irniors have not used the
plant for green fodder as usual. As a re-
sult the traile (ppens with a reduction of
nearly 2.5 per cent, in the price; but as
the top heads contain no seed this reduc-
tion is not warranted by the crop and,
as the demand in Europe is bound to be
large, owing to the absence of forage
from drought, etc., there is a certainty of
a considerable rise in value later on.
As regards the shortage of forage tor
Autumn feed this has Ijeen aggravated
by an inv.asion of caterpillars in western
France, which have stripped the cab-
bages, etc., of every leaf — hardly one field
has escaped; at the present time the
roads, fields and even the railway tracks
are literally alive with them.
The seed beds for next year's seed
crops have also suffered badly, but the
plants may possibly recover.
European Seeds.
S. F. Willard.
In this issue we present a portrait of
the genial and obliging secretary-treas-
urer ^)f the American Seed Trade .Associa-
tion— .S. V. Willard, of WethersHeld, Conn.,
who has succeeded liimself in theseoffices
since the Washington convention of the
Association in 1897, when he was elected
to the offlces,vice A. L. Don, of New York,
resigned.
Mr. Willard was born in Wethersfleld,
Conn., where he has lived ever since. He
has been connected with the corporation
of Comstock, Ferre & Co., seed growers,
there, since October, 1871, and has been
president of the concern since 1898. Sec-
retary- Willard has a large acquaintance
with the seed trade and thesaiii growing
sectionsinthe United Statesand Canada.
That he is equally as highly thought of
by his neighbors as he is by the members
of the American Seed Trade Association,
in which he has always taken a most
active Interest, and the trade in general,
is testified to by his election to the Con-
necticut General Assembly for 1901, the
present session.

Newark, N. Y.— George C. Perkins, of
Jacksou & Perkins Co., who has been in
ill health for the past year or more, has
gone lor a two-months cruising and fish-
ing trip along the coast of Newfoundland.

Watering Rhododend rons and Aza-
leas.—Plants with tine, hair-like roots,
such as rhododendrons and azaleas, do
not quickly root into fresh soil, and, as
the balls of earth with which they are
imported are very porous, they quickly
dry out the fir.stseason of their planting.
In dry times they need watching to see
that they are not suffering from dryness.
A good watering is sure to help them,
and then, if not already done, give them
a good mulching of short grass or some
similar material. After a year haspassed
they will have rooted better into the
fresh soil.
Tent Caterpillars.- Tent caterpillars
very soon skeletonize the foliage of trees,
eating the substance ot the leaves vora-
ciously. There are certain nursery trees
of wliich the insects are very fond, the
black walnut for one. It is nothing un-
common to see trees ill farm fields entirely
defoliated by these worms. I'aris Green
will kill these pests; but if taken in time,
cutting away of the twigs on which they
are is an expeditious way of clearing a
tree. The old plan of burning them off
w-ith a torch may also be employed.
Where the means to spray is at hand, it
is the best method of all, as the sprayed
leaf is no sooner eaten than the forager is
destroyed.
Evergreens Damaged by Heat.— The
last days of June and the early ones of
July were days of great heat, the mer-
cury hovering around the 100 degree
mark for several days in succession. So
intense was the heat that its effects on
some evergreens were of an unusual char-
acter. Some rows of spruce running
northeast and southwest were scorched
on the most southern side, just as if by
nre. In exceedingly dry weather an ever-
green neglected as to water will suffer
the first on its southern side. The foli-
age on the sunny side calls for more as-
sistance than that elsewhere, and, failing
to get it, suffers before the other. Just
why the row of Norway spruce should
suffer cannot be determined at once, as
there is considerable moisture in the soil
vet. The plants had been re-set in the
Spring, had taken good hold and were
makinganiceyonug growth. On account
of the recent transplanting the plants
had not their roots in first-class order
to honor such urgent calls for moisture
which the torrid heat made necessary,
and so the side exposed to the noon-day
sun succumbed.
Variegated Vitis.— What isconimonly
known as the variegated grape is not a
"grape" as the word is understood, but
is a beautiful decorative hardy vine of
uncommon beauty. In catalogues it is
listed as Vitis heterophlylla variegata,
and it is also known as the variegated
Japanese grape. In the case of many
plants witli bt«tutitul foliage there are
seasons when they are much handsomer
than others, and with this vitis this is a
season of beauty the like of which I have
never before seen. In nearly all seasons
it displays three colors in its foliage —
green, white and pink. This exists not
only in its foliage, but in its stems and
leaf" stalks as well, the whole forming
a pleasing combination. This season the
colors are intensified, the pink especially.
As a pot plant, or for filling rustic vases,
it is very much in place. What adds to
the value of the vine is its beautiful ber-
ries in the Fall. They are at first green,
then pink and lastly blue; and often, on
the little clusters of five to six berries all
the colors are displayed.
A Valuable Native Pine.— Ithas been
charged by some lovers of our native
trees that nurserymen have given too
mucli prominence to European trees and
too little to those of our own country.
In evidence of this they ]ioint to the red
pine of our forests, riiiiis resinosa, which
they say is almost unprocurable in any
nursery. Though this charge may have
been justified years ago, when the nurse-
ries of the old world were the only ones
from which stock of all kindscould beob-
tainetl, it is not so to-day. Nurserymen
liere do keep whatever sorts of native
trees and shrubs are to be procured, and
the only reason whj' the red pine cannot
be hail'i.s, that up to quite a recent period
it was almost out of the question to ob-
tain s<'eds. ICven to-day it is by no means
easy to get these, though the tree is abun-
dant in Michigan and Wisconsin. There
is no questionas toits beauty andutility,
and, besides, it has been found to thrive
well wherever planted. Its habit of
growth is of the heavy order, making
thick limbs in proportion to its height.
Its needles are longand rather drooping,
and have the desirable feature of being
soft to the touch. Otlier pines, such as
the Scotch and the Austrian, have their
place, the former for its silvery foliage,
the latter for its massive growth; but
botli have harshly repellant needles, mak-
ing theirpresenceknownin a pronounced
way to the one who accidentally touches
them. The color of the foliage of the red
pine is of a deep green. For ornamental
planting it is one of the very best pines
known; and added to this, it is ot much
value for forestry purposes.
Filling in About Trees— The filling
in of soil about trees in some cases, and
the leaving of them elevated in others,
are problems which frequently present
themselves to the gardener. Neither one
is good for trees, being unnatural. The
burying of the trunk which usually fol-
lows filling in, is something Nature never
intended, and when doue, evil conse-
iiueuces follow. The burying of the roots
far lower than they desire is injurious,
because of tlie lack of air wliich the roots
meet with and wliich air they require.
But should the filled-in soil be porous, so
that rains can penetrate easily, there will
be no serious loss from that cause. The
burying of the trunk is sometimes avoid-
ed by building up around it a dry circle
of stones, some distance from it, which is
as good a thing as can be done. The
next best thing is to fill in around the
trunk with stones or sand, stones pre-
ferred. Besides keeping the soil from
packing closely about the trunk, it per-
mits of tlie rain water reaching the roots
quickly; and this suggests tliat in filling
in over the roots, loose, stony soil is
much the best kind to use. I.,arge trees
will endure more filling in above the
roots than will smaller ones.
The leaving of trees elevated by the dig-
ging out of soil is injurious, as disturbing
the conditions tliey had established for
themselves. If the foots are not too much
exposed they will in time push down
deeper, and in the course of a few years
find themselves at the same distance
below ground they werein theflrst place.
In damp ground, roots of trees have an
aversion to going deep, and in such situa-
tions the taking away of much of the top
soil exposes the roots very materially,
resulting in a stunted growth, and some-
times in the blowing over ot the trees in
gales of wind. Joseph Meehan.

Considering tlie Summer weather and
tlie exodus of our people from town,
business continues good. Outside stocli
is plentiful, but that from inside, except-
ing some carnations, is poor in quality,
roses particularly so. The trade in bed-
ding plants is about over, ami most of
the growers have had a gof)d season,
although there is still plenty of stock
offered.
All cut flowers are cheap at wholesale,
and the i|uantity of outshle stock dis-
posed of is beyon<l the average.
Quite a few of the boys are off tishing
and tish stories will soon be in order.
The Lon<lon convention is likely to be
a successful one,and I expect there will be
a good attendance. The general pro-
gram is a good one, and the London boys
have arranged a good assortment of
entertainments. A hearty welcome for
all is assured. T. M.
Ottawa.
During the past two or three weeks,
like the rest of the world, we have been
living among the nineties, 08 being the
maximum, with a digit added on under
glass; but we are now having most
pleasant weather.
Florists here have been very busy build-
ing, or rather rebuilding. Wright, of
Aylmer, has about flni.shed a connected
range r>n by 100 feet. 0. Scrim has com-
pleted a house 2.'5 x 100 feet, has it
planted with roses, and is now starting
on one 100 x 30 feet.
Rose planting is well under way. The
very warm weatlier has taken all the
quality out of roses and carnations.
Business is fair considering all things.
Carnations outside are looking very
good. The aster beetle is very abundant
this year. Scrim has a fine bench Queen
of the Market aster just coming into
flower.
There is too much building going on to
hear much convention talk just yet; but
most likely Ottawa will send its quota
to London, thence to the Pan-.\merican.

Canadian Horticultural A»soclation Notes_
The London Horticultural Society
have decided to hold their midsummer
flower show in Cronyn Hall. This is a
spacious building with the hall on the
ground floor, is well lighted, and an ideal
place for holding a flower show, its only
disadvantage being that it is located one
block from the City Hall, where the con-
vention will be held. As the time draws
near, from the numerous iniiuiries, it is
quite evident that this convention will
be more largely attended than any pre-
vious one.
The London Old Boys' Association
have secured cheap rates from nearly all
points; special trains will be run from
Detroit, stopping at all stations, also
from Toronto.
Plenty of good hotel accommodation
can be obtained at from $1 to $1.50 per
day; delegates can have accommoda-
tions secured in advance by writing to

QUESTION BOX.
(1<»9) Painting Cypress Ijunil>er. —
F. E. (.:. While cypress lumber will lie
found much more durable thau other
woods, when used without paint, the ex-
pense rei|uired for keeping It well painted
will be well repaid by its increased dura-
bility. This is particularly true of the
joints and all exterior work. Profes-
sional li-rccnhouse builders give the woo<l-
work a gooil priming coat and then
paint all joints before they are put to-
gether. After this two coats of paint
are given.
So far as the root is concerned the
paint should not be allowed to get thin.
A coat once in two years will generally
suffice and will do more to preserve the
house than two coats once in four years.
—L. K. Taft.
(170) Heating. — I am building two
even span houses one .">() by 14 feet, the
other (iO by 17 feet. The .50-foot house
measures 7 feet 6 inches to ridge, and the
walls 2 feet, and are of wood. The 150-
foot house measures 0 feet 3 inches to
ridge, walls 2 feet 0 inches of wood.
Temperature of 50-foot house to be 45
degrees in zero weather, that of CO-foot
house .5.5 degrees in zero weather.
The 50-foot house runs north and
soutli: the 60-foot house east and west,
the boiler house being at the west enrl of
one and south end of the f)ther. What
size pipe will I need for each house, and
how much of it '? It being impossible to
lower the boiler but little, the flow pipe
will be in ridge. — ScBSCRinEH.
— The 50-foot house can be heated to
45 degrees with one 2|i.-inch tl(iw pipe
and six 2-iuch returns. To heat the 60
by 17-foot house to 55 degrees, two 2y^-
incli flows and eight 2-inch retiirns may
be used. If only one flow is desired the
number of returns shoidil be increaseil to
10.— L. R. Takt.
How high and how far apart ouglit the
po,sts be in a tlirce-quarter span house;
posts set in ground? The house is to be
1.50 feet U»ng, IS feet wide; no glass in
side walls. How many boxes of glass
10 X 24 inches, or 12 X 10 inches would be
necessary? How long ought sash bars
to be? How many feet of 2-ineh pipe
would be required to maintain a tem-
perature of 00 degrees in zero weather?
The house to be heated by hot water.
With two houses, one 100 x 18 feet, and
one 150 x 18 feet, and three acres of Hne
soil, would it be advisable fo two men to
go into business together if they ha.d to
borrow $1,000? The population of the
town is about .3,000, a commercial cen-
ter for five surrounding towns of about
the same population. There are no other
greenhouses within a radius of 25 miles.
Good shipping facilities. — T.
— The posts should be about four feet
apart and the frontpostshouhl be about
four feet high and the rear ones six feet.
There will be ab(ait ;i,500 S(iuare feet of
glass in tlie roof and 00 feet in one end.
This will require 71 boxes of glass, but
as there is likely to be five per cent, of
broken panes, allowance should be maile
for this as well. If the distance between
the inner edges of the plates is IS feet, the
long sash bars should be 15 feet and
those for the north side of the roof should
be nine feet, the measurements in both
cases being ahing the shorter edge of the
sasli liars. To maintain a temperature
of oo degrees not far from 2,000 feet of
2-incli pipe will be needed.
At tlie present time there is an excellent
outlook for florists, and under the condi-
tions named good management can
hardly fail to give success.— L. K. Taft.
I have a house 20 x 80 feet, even span.
1 would like to heat it by hot water
under pressure. The house stands due
east and westand on rather low ground.
I would like to put a six-horsepower up-
right boiler at the east end, .and to use 1 1/.-
incli pipe tor flow and 1-ineh return. The
house is divided into two parts. I should
like to run the west part 10 degrees lower
than the east part. Will you kindly let
me know how much pipe it will reijuire
and how to run this under hot water
pressure? The house is 4 feet high on
south sitle and 0 feet on north and U feet
to ridge. — SunscRinER.
— While 1-inch pipe will do better under
pressure than in an open system, its use
is not advisable, especially if the top of
the boiler is above the level f)f the coils.
The temperature that is desired is not
stated, but if the small pipe is to be put
in it will be well to use four lV4-iuch
flows and 18 1-inch returns for CO de-
grees: threeflowsand 14 returns for 50 de-
grees and three fVows aud ten returns for
40 degrees. Far better results will be
secured if three 2-inch flows and 12 IVi-
inch returns are usedforOO degrees; two
flows and ten returns for .50 degrees, and
two flows and eight returns for 4o de-
grees. The Hows as well as the returns
sliould run down hill, and the latter
should be as high as jicissible witliout
being too near tln'bottotn nt the benches.
The expansion tank .sluudd be connected
with the highest point of one of the flow
pipes, and connection with all of them
will do away with the necessity of air
valves. If a sheet-iron expansion tank is
used the pipe leading to it should pass
through the bottom, the joint being made
tight by means of lock-nuts. It there is
along thread at the upper end of the
pipe, a tee can be screweil on just above
the lock-nuts. Into the side opening, a
vacuum valve can be screwed, while in
the upper end there should lie a pipe
reacliing nearly to the top of the tflnk.
To the upper eiul of this pipe the safety
valve can be attached. If the pressure in
the water supply system is strong enough
to raise the safety valve, the pipes and
tank can be readily filled, but if the pres-
sure is not sufficient to raise the valve, a
cord can be arranged to hold it open
until the tank is filled. When the system
is in operation the water will pass
through tlie safety valve when the pres-
sure reaches the point at which the valve
is set. The water will then run over
into the tank, from which it will be
drawn back into the pipes tlirough the
vacuum valve after the pressvire has gone
down. — L. R. Taft.
(171) Hot and Cold Grapery.— Will
you please explain how to care for luit
and cohl grapery' and what varieties are
the best for the liothouse? — M.
— Assuming that the inquirer wants in
formation from the present time on to
the end of the season, we may begin with
the pinching of the shoots which should
lie done two joints above the bunch, when
the latter are large enough to discern
which iire to make the best fruit. He-
move all but the one bunch from each
shoot, and after floweriug and setting,
thin tlie bunches to about one to every
foot of rod, again selecting the best, but.
if possible,leaving them evenly distributetl
over the vine.
Tliining of the berries in the bunch
must be done according to the judgment
of the operator, as no hard and fast rule
can be laiil down for this work. Sufli-
cient space must be given so that the ber-
ries will have room to swell to their full
size without crowding one another; but
care must be taken not to over-thin, or
the bunch when finished and cut will fall
flat instead of retaining its shape. The
berries at no stage should be touched by
hand, or the bloom will be injured.
Further pinching is rec|uired when the
lateral shoots have ma<le about three or
four leaves; the.v should be pinched back
to one leaf from the base. The same rule
hol^ls good according as additional late-
ral shoots are jiroduced.
S.vringing should be done on the moi-n-
iugs of bright days up to the flowering
period, tlien discontinued till after setting-
has been accomplished, when it may be
resumed with safet.v but should not be
necessary oftener than twice a week.
Care must be taken not to let the water
play directly on the bunches. Only
bright days shouUl be chosen for the op-
eration BO that the moisture will dry up
as soon as possible. When the fruit is
Hearing the coloring period syringing
should bestopped altogether.
Watering must be regulated according
to tlie composition of the soil, as some
soils dr.voutso much quicker than others.
As a rule, four good waterings are sutfi-
cient, viz., at starting, before flowering
period, .after thinning, and just before
coloring commences.
Regarding temiierature, the house
should mit be allowed to fall below 05
degrees at night and as little above 85
degrees as possible in the day time. (M
course, the temperatures cannot always
be kept to these figures. Avoid cold
drauglits, especially from the bottom
ventilators. To prevent mildew, night
air should be left on the top only aud
just sullicient to prevent sweating.

Rose Show at Newport, R. I.
The Rose and Strawberry Show of the
Newport (R. I.) Horticultural Society
was held July 2 and .3. A very beautiful
and artistic exhibition resulted. Among
tradeexhlbitors Wadley &Smythe stageri,
not for competition, an interesting col-
lection of dwarf Japanese conifers, which
were a great attraction to the Tisitors.
The Blue Hill Nurseries, South Braintree,
Mass., displayed some 64 varieties of her-
baceous perennials, each sort correctly
labeled with its botanical and common
name. This was a most instructive ex-
hibit and was greatly admired. The
George A. Weaver Co., Newport, bad an
exhibit of garden tools, croquet sets, etc.
Mrs. Burke-Roche's prize for the best 100
roses, of not less than three varieties,
brought queen rose out in all her glory.
There were six entries in this class, which
caused the gardeners of Newport, to
whom the prize was limited, to put forth
their best efforts with an amazing and
beautiful result. The first prize, a silver
cup valued at $25, was won by Hugh
Williamson, gardener to Mrs. C. Vander-
bilt, Jr., A. Griffin, gardener to Commo-
dore Gerry, being second. Mr. Griffin also
captured Mrs. Burl;e-Roche's prize for
group of palms and foliage plants cover-
ingaspace not exceeding 100 square feet.
Mrs. Perry Belmont's prize of $50 ($25,
$15 and $10) for table decorations,
brought out three competitors. A.
Meikle, gardener to Mrs. W. S. Wells, was
first with a decoration of Mrs. .John
Lalng rose; A. Griffin was second, alla-
mandas constituting hisdecoration; and
Gibson Bros, third, also with Mrs. John
Laing. The judges were Mrs. Burke-
Roche, Miss Gerry and Mrs. W. S. Wells.
Messrs. Bruce Butterton, Frederick
Smythe and Richard Gardner acted as

NEPHROLEPIS WITTBOLDII
You already know what Henry A. Dreer, Philadelphia, and A. J. Baldwin,
Newark, C, think about Nephrolepis Wittboldii. Here is what the E. G. Hill Co.
say about it and the value of the fronds for cut purposes :

Gentlemen: We are greatly pleased with your new Fern "Wittboldii" and pre-
dict for it great popularity. Our plants are now showing their true char-
acter, and it is hard to conceive a more beautiful plant. The fronds will
certainly be in great favor for cut purposes.

San Francisco florists are agitating the
closing of the retail stores of that city at
1 p. m., and have formed an association
to accomplish this.
■The florists of Baltimore have agreed
to close their stores during the months of
July and August at 5 p. m., and 2 p. m.
on Saturdays.
Hail Items.
Connf.bsville, Ind.— By a hail storm
which occurred June 2.5 last, C. A. Rie-
man lost 640 panes of 12 x 16 glass. Mr.
Rieman and his father have been in the
business for 27 years and in all that time
never experienced anything lilie Tues-
day's storm. Tliere was no hail insur-
ance.
MARRIED.
Bettman— Miller.— Henry C. Bett-
man, of New Albany, Ind., and Miss
Anna C. Miller, of Marengo, were united
in marriage, June 30, at the bride's home.
They will reside in New Albany, Ind. The
bridegroom is a son of John Bettman,
the florist.
S. A. F. 0. H. Buffalo Convention.
Secretary Stewart has now distributed
the Bulletin and Preliminary Program
of the seventeenth annual meeting and
exhibition of the .Society, to be held at
City Convention Hall, Buffalo, August
6,7,8,9 and 10,1901. A copy of the
program is pulilislied elsewliere in this
issue. It will be observed that it in-
cludes three papers of great practical
worth to every florist, and two interesting
and instructive Illustrated lectures— one
by Mr. Farquhar, of Boston, on " Hortl-
culure in Japan;" and one by Professor
F. W. Taylor, on " Expositions as Edu-
cators." Both of these lecturers are well
known to the florists of America, having
on former occasions delighted them in a
similar capacity, and to say that a grand
treat is in store tor all who are fortunate
enough to be present on this occasion is
but to state the case mildly.
Then, too, the presentation of the new
Constitution and By-Laws under the
charter, will be an absorbing topic. A
good deal of discussion on this matter,
much of it sound, some of it but mere
frotliy vulgarisms, advanced under the
guise of supposed iiumor, has already ap-
peared in the trade press. There are,
however, many other members less in-
clined to committing their views to pa-
per, but holding opinions on the subject
equally as valuable as tliose already pre-
sented, who will no doubt take the mat-
ter in hand at the proper time. Indeed
it is obligatory on every one having the
best interests of tlie Society at heart,
that he cometo the Convention prepared
to suggest remedial measures for what
may appear to him to be faulty in the in-
strument as first submitted, a copy of
which will likely be placed in the hands
of every one concerned, for timely and
leisurely consideration. Only the welfare
of the Society, and through it, that for
which it stands, is sought; and as in
"the multitude of counsellors there is
wisdom," the Constitution and By-Laws
will doubtless be ultimately so framed
that the aiinsand purposes of the .Society
eau be consummated and general satis-
faction ensue.
Let every one, therefore, so work and
plan that the S. A. F. O. H., as reorgan-
ized, be sent forth on its mission of far-
reaching usefulness this first year of the
new century on a .sure footing, fully
equipped to perform the noble and patri-
otic duty it has set itself.
As we stated in a recent issue, we
have every confidence that the members
of the S. A. F. O. H. will adhere to their
very commendable custom of placing
business before pleasure, and that the
Society's proceedings for 1901 will in no
wise be impaired through the counter at-
tractions prevailing. Saturday will be
devoted to the annual bowling match.
We ad vise a caret u 1 ri'Miliiigof what is set
forth in the progiaui regarding trans-
portation and hotel Jiccommodations.
Finally, do not forget the advantages
ottered by this year's trade exhibit, that
bids fair to excel that of last year at New
York, which, to use an etieryday expres-
sion, was a " hummer."

Firms Who Are Building.
Dansvillk, N. \'. — Frank Smith Is
building a large greenhouse.
Orchard Place, 111.— J. C. Ahrnesfield
will build two more greenhouses.
Sterling, III.— J. W. Swartley will
erect a greenhouse 18 x 60 feet the com-
ing Fall.
Atlantic City, N. J.— D. B. Edwards
will erect three new greenhouses on his
property here.
Swampscott, Mass. — Elbridge G-
Blaney is putting in a new heating appa-
ratus iu his greenhouses. When fitted up
he will discard his hot water heating
plant.
Stafford Springs, Conn.— The Staf-
ford Floral Company has broken ground
tor an additional greenhouse. The com-
pany is making a specialty of carnations,
and theactive demand makesmore room
necessary.
Duluth, Minn.— G. B. Manter has dis-
posed ot his greenhouses here to Eischen
Bros.
Rockton, III. — Robert Forward has
purchased an interest in the establish-
ment of Roscoe Gammon.
Crooksville, O. — E. W. Melots has
given up the flower business here, and
left for Chicago to fill another position.
OwosBO, Mich. — G. H. Jacobs has
erected a greenhouse here and will enter
the florist business. Miss May Jacobs
will assist him.
Springfield, O. — Harry Reeser has
sold his interest in the Reeser Brothers'
house at Urbaua and is organizing a
company here which will erect a large
house for rose growing.
Kalamazoo, Mich. — The business ot
George D. Taylor has been purchased by
G. Van Bochove & Bro. Mr. Taylor re-
tains one greenhouse at his residence on
Portage Street. His activity in the floral
business has extended over a life time,
the present change being necessitated by
an accident which befell him some months
ago, partially incapacitating him from
carrying on his calling on an extensive
scale. He discovered a pin imbedded in
the flesh of a finger ot his left band, and
operation was necessary to save the
member. Mr. Taylor is only now recov-
ering from the effects ot blood poisoning.
Van Bochove & Bro. are erecting two
large greenhouses which will make a
very extensive addition to their plant.
The new houses are 26 by 160 feet ot the
latest style, and will be devoted to the
culture ot carnations and American
Beauty roses.
Remembering the Railroad Men.
Editor Florists^ Exchange:
A few days ago we used up our small
surplus stock by presenting baskets con-
taining 22 assorted bedding plants to
each ot 40 eugineers, conductors, express-
men, baggagemen and brakemen ot our
shipping road, as a token ot our appre-
ciation ot their prompt and careful hand-
ling ot our large shipments ot plants.
They were much pleased with the compli-
ment, and showed great pleasure in pos-
sessing the plants.

Trade Notes.
It is hardly necessary to mention
the weather, as similar depressing condi-
tions reported from all quarters in last
week's issue existed here tor an equal
length ot time. Since Sunday last, 7th
'nst., it has been considerably cooler,
and indeed a welcome relief to sweltering
humanity.
There is very little to write about in
connection with present market condi-
tions; the usual .Summer quietness pre-
vails. Business, though, has been quite
brisk until within the past few days.
Funeral work has afforded an outlet for
a vast quantity of all kinds ot stock and
an unusual amount of work in this hue
has been handled. To give an idea ot the
way inwhich this work comes in at times
we would state that one of our local re-
tail establishments had 85 orders to till
the other day, all for one funeral, many
ot the designs being the most elaborate
effects possible in this class of work.
There is not a great variety ot stock
offered, and what there is does not bring
very high prices. Dealers are buying just
enough to get along with, and whole-
sale growers report business none too
brisk. The outside figure for best roses
is $4 and lower grades do not bring over
$2 and $3 per 100. Select carnations
bring from $1 to $1.50 per 100, and poor
grades move at .50c. and 75c.; sweet peas
are plentiful, but of small size and poor
quality, and growers do not realize over
10c. to 15c. per 100 for the best. There
is an abundance ot hardy outdoor stock
ottered, but no established price on any
of it.
Florist." Club Oatlng.
The annual outing ot the Florists'
Club was held at Manhattan Beach Park
on Tuesday, July 9, and was well at-
tended and thoroughly enjoyed by all
present. The committ«e on arrange-
ments, ot which Isaac Kennedy was
chairman, arranged a delightful pro-
gram. Many of the florists with their
families went early and spent the entire
day on the grounds; by the middle ot the
afternoon nearly every establishment in
and around the city was represented.
The program of sportsconeisted ot bowl-
ing, dancing, cards, boating, toot races,
etc., all of which were heartily indulged
in. Many visitors were present, among
them Harry Balsley, ot Detroit, Mich.:
Mr. Vaughan son of J. C. Vaughan, Chi-
cago; Robert George, of the Storra &
Harrison Co., Painesville, Ohio, and Chas.
Gibson, of the L. S. & M. S. Ry, city. At
6 o'clock the entire party sat down to a
six course dinner in the dining pavilion
on the grounds; the meal was followed
by speechmaking, Mr. Kennedy acting as
toastmaster. Those who participated in
this part of the program were Mr. Bals-
ley, Mr. George, Mr. Gibson, Mr. Hart
and Mr. Graham. .Some of the remarks,
being ot the humorous kind, produced
much merriment. About 150 covers
were laid.
J. M. Gasser was absent, having gone
to Kansas City a tew days previous.
Notes.
The first rain in this section in
many days fell on the evening ot July 4,
a severe thunderstorm but without seri-
ous damage; one and one-half inches ot
water fell.
E. A. Fetters, ot Smith & Fetters, left
the city on Monday evening for Detroit,
on a trip to the Pacific coast. His itin-
erary includes Denver and other points
in the Rockies, and will cover a period of
from tour to six weeks.
There is much convention talk among
local florists and a large delegation may
be expected from Cleveland.
G. A. T.
Philadelphia.
Convention matters are now the chief
topics of conversation. So tar the best
transportation in sight is $12.35 tor the
round trip. This is a fare and a third
rate. Up to date our committee has not
selected any definite route, but is waiting
to see what can be done before the spe-
cial meeting ot the Club on Jul.v 30.
The bowlers are working hard tor a
place on the team to roll at Buffalo.
Matches on outside alleys take place
every Monday evening.
Cut flower business is very quiet; very
little stock is being received. The stores
are now paying all attention to flxing
up, ready tor next season.

N. Y. Florists' Club Outingr.
As a DidSt cujoyable affair tlie lirst
annual outing of the New York Florists'
Club, held Monday last, July 8, was a
pronounced success. There were only a
few somewhat disappointed individuals
onboard the boat, or rather barge, whose
condition arose from one and the same
cause, and these were the members of the
committee and the caterer, all of whom
were chagrined that so small a party put
in appearance. The threatening morn-
ing was no <loubt partly responsible fftr
this. As the day turned out fine, and
after hearing of the good time experi-
enced, doubtless many will be sorry they
missed it.
Anticipating df)g day weather, and
having to hire the vehicle of transporta-
tion early in the season, the committee
selected one of Starin's barges, and their
selection was endorsed by every partici-
pant in the outing. The fresh air, as well
as the excursionists, had free play on the
upper deck, and the children could romp
unhindered in their childish pastimes.
Excellent music was supplied by .Sjjriu-
ger's band, the same as was present at
the ladies' outing in Prospect Park dur-
ing convention last year, and dancing
was indulged in with much gusto. The
sail to Locust Point, which is situated
on Manhasset Bay, occupied almost three
hours. The crowd arrived at destination
with good appetites, and did ample jus-
tice to the dinner provided, which was
well served.
The inner man (and woman) satisfied,
a live frame bowling match for the ladies
was engaged in, into which the fair sex
entered with a will. .Some had never
handledaball before; otherswere adepts,
as the undernoted scores will demon-
strate. Their liege lords rooted for their
favorites with nerve-racking yells, that
doubtless were responsible for many of
the poodles. The amiable Austin Shaw
acte<l as scorer, and acquitted himself as
is his wont, in spite of his arduous task.
There were four alleys, and each contest-
ant rolled her five frames on one alle.v.
From the outset came in rapid succession
cries of: " nine on number one;" "noth-
ing on numbertwo, "etc., until the scorer
got bewil<lered among a multiplicity of
figures, but he stuck it out; and this is
what the score sheets (it reipiired two of
them) recorded:
balmy Summer breeze. The score stood
as follows when time was called:

Mrs. Thielmann proved to be the dark
horse, rolling last, and finally taking
from Mrs. Langjahr, who till then had
headed the list, the first honors. The
prize winners were: First, Mrs. Thiel-
mann, prize a lady's bag; second, Mrs.
Ijangj'ahr, prize a bonbonniere; third,
Miss I. -Mellis, prize a tan. .1. .\ustin
.Shaw, in his best Chesterfieldian style,
presented the trophies to the various
recipients, who were cheered to the echo.
At the conclusion of the howling game,
interest centered in a baseball contest
between "The Boiler Men" and "The
Florists." This competition was " bet-
ter than a circus." Many of the combat-
ants had not been on the diamond since
they were in knee pants; while others
would havedonecredit as substitutes tor
the celebrated Rusie or even Casey him-
self b.v their graceful handling of the bat
and the manner in which they "slid" to
base. There was no fanning; only
straight from the shoulder jolts so torci-
be that one bat shortly became a total
wreck. Dave Mellis captained the florist
team, and \V..Scollay, Brooklyn, the boiler
men. Wheeler pitched for the craft;
O'Mara tor the sons of Vulcan; while
Scollay acted as catcher for the latter
and .J. V. Phillips for the former. Later
Traendly took the place of Wheeler and
Alf. Zeller that of Phillips. Young Alex.
Donaldson, son of .lolin, secretary of the
Cut Flower Exchange, was umpire, and
Louis .Sclimutz. .Jr., scorer. The make-
believe disputes on technicalities, thp/
rooting and yelling rent tlip air and were
carried tar across Manhasset Bay on the

111 the fat men's race Traendl.v was an
easy winner, followed by Nugent and
Scollay. Some claimed that Traendly at
weighing in being under the reijuired
avoirdupois should have given the heavier
weiglitsa handicap, but that was neither
here nor there.
The boys' race was won b.v Paul Meis-
sner; Fred Thielmann being second.
A startwasmadetorhome at 5 o'clock.
En route the Misses Esler and Miss Lucy
Butterfleld, all wee tots, entertained ap-
preciative listeners with recitations and
school songs. Everything passed oft
pleasantly; the only regret being that
the pleasure was not shared in by many
more than were present.

A meeting of the club was held on
board the barge; President Sheridan in
the chair, or rather on the barrel. A
committee to nominate offlcers for the
coming year was named as follows:
Messrs. O'Mara, Manda, Burns, Ma.v,
Dean, Burnham and Duckham. The
president announced the offer of $100
through A. Herrington, from H. McK.
Twombly, Es(|., tor an additional special
prize in connection with the Fall show.
The thanks of the club were tendered the
donor tor his liberal gift. Five new mem-
bers were elected. It wasintimated that
a special meeting of the club will be held
Monday evening next, July 15, at which
convention matters, special reports, etc.,
will come up tor discussion.

Market Condition!.
But very little business is doing
these dog days, steamer and funeral
work constituting the bulk of wliat is
going on. On Wednesday and Thursday
last, there was a brisk steamer trade, but
with the exception of orchids, it wasdifli-
cult to find stock of presentable (juality
suitable for the purpose, and, of course,
not every one could afford or desired
these Hovvers. The roses coming in are
small in size, and but few good carna-
tions are around. All the wholesale
houses have assumed their usual .Sum-
mer quiet, the proprietors either being
away on their vacation or anticipating
going. Several of those who indulged in
the violent exercises on the occasion of
the club's outing, have not yet fully recu-
perated, and are still complaining of stiff
joints and other disabilities.
Secretary Young, of tlie Florists' Club,
though slightly under the weather, finds
much amusement in the correspomlence
he is receiving regarding tlie outing, the
characterizations of the barge being ex-
tremely original and, in some cases, "ex-
pressive." But the complaints, as usual,
mostly emanate from those who were
not there.
News Jottings.
Thomas Y'oung, .Ir., sailed on the
Deutschland, on Thursday last, for a
European trip.
II. K. Hoffmann, with J. K. Allen, has
gone to Portland, Me., to spend his
vacation.
Wm. H. Guenther expects to join his
family in tlie Berkshire Hills next weelc.
Julius Uoehrs sails, on aEuropean trip,
to-day (Saturday).
.lohn Nash, of Moore, Heutz & Nash,
will go to Stamford, N. Y'., probably the
coming week
II. A. Siebrecht and Mrs. Siebrecht
sailed for Europe Saturday last on the
IIiilland-Ainerica liner Statendam.
Mrs. Berger is spending a tew days of
well earned vacation at Greenwood Lake
and points north thereof, returning next
Wednesday.
The Flatbush Bowling Club has invited
the New Y'ork team to try conclusions
on the alleys of the former club, Thurs-
day evening, July IN.
A. Herrman arrived on S. S. Friedericli
der Grosse, July 12, after a trip <^f three
months abroad, wdiere he has bought the
latest novelties that the European mar-
ket produces. The goods will be exhib-
ited at his establishment, 404-412 East
34th Street.
Complaint is heard of slow collections
among what are generally termed the
second-class stores; and while there is
time for leisurely reflection on the preva-
lent credit system, not a few dealers ex-
press themselves as being in favor of the
formation of some kind of an association
whereby thegranting of " time," as well
as other matters that now call for ad-
justment, may be regulateil. This, of
course, is an old story ; but the frequent
recurrence to it, more parti'ularly when
its benefits become apparent, would seem
to point to its great desir.ihility.
The majority of the retail stores make
but little attempt at window displays
these days; Boston tern, among which
some gladiolus or other available showy
stock is interspersed, forming the whole
decoration. .\u exception to the general
practice followed, however, is seen in the
store of J.H. Small &.s<)us,ot Broadway.
One of this firm's wiudows is given up to
a water scene, where a fountain inlays in
a miniature pond filled with water lilies
and surrounded witli eulalias and other
grasses. Among the many 'pretty nym-
pha'a blooms noticed was a large double
white. The wholepreseuts a very refresh-
ing appearance this sultry weather.
In the advertisement of It. Kilbourn,
page 700, last issue, please read Cdnton,
N. Y., instead of Clinton, N. J. Mr. Kil-
bourn states that this error is freciuently
made and asks <hat correspondents
ple.ise take care when addressing envel-
opes, in order to save trouble and delay.

IMPORTANT NOTICE.
Members who have attended previous conventions and know
somethinju; of the discomforte of waiting in line lor an opportunity to
pay assessments and procure badges, do not need to be reminded

tribute to their own comfort and facilitate the Secretary's work.
To those joining the Society this year, however, thle advice is given
with much earnestness. The crowd at the ** Pan-American " Conven-
tion will be unprecedented. Dues cannot be paid white meetings are
in progress, and hundreds of applicants will be demanding attention
before the opening session on the morning of the first day, the
possession of a badge and membership receipt for 1901 being abso-
lutely necessary before any individual can sign the roll book and
receive invitation cards for the various entertainments provided by
the Buffalo Florists' Club, including that to be tendered to the
visiting ladies on the afternoon of the first day. On receipt of J3.00
from those who have paid membership dues for 1900, and of $5.00
from all others, certificate and badge for 1901 will be mailed
promptly from the Secretary's office. Preserve your certificate and

TRANSPORTATION.
From all the territory composed in the
jurisdiction of the Trunk Line Associa-
tion and South Eastern Passenger Asso-
ciation a special excursion rate of one
and one-third fare on the certificate plan
has been authorized. This territoi-y in-
cludes all the States east and south of the
Mississippi and Ohio Rivers and Niagara
Falls, except the New England States
and a small portion ol Pennsylvania
north and west of Pittsburg and Warren.
Those taking advantage of this arrange-
ment must observe the following direc-
tions:
1.— Tickets at full fare for the going
journey ma.v be secured within three days
(exclusive of Sunday) prior to and dur-
ing the first three days of the meeting.
The advertised dates of the meeting are
from August <> to 10, consequently you
can obtain your ticket not earlier than
August 2, nor later than August 8-
Be sure that, when purchasing your
going ticket, you request a "certificate."
Do not make the mistake of asking for
a " receipt."
2. — Present yourself at the railroad sta-
tion tor ticket and certificate at least 30
minutes before the departure of train.
3.— Certificates are not kept at all sta-
tions. If you inquire at your station you
will find out whether certificates and
through tickets can be obtained to place
of meeting. If not, agent will inform you
at what station they can be obtained.
You can purchase a local ticket thence,
and there take up a certificate and
through ticket.
4.— On your arrival at the meeting pre-
sent your certificate at once to Secretary
Stewart, who will return it to you after
it has been duly validated.
5. — It has been arranged that the spe-
cial agent of the Trunk Line Association
will be in attendance to validate certifi-
cates on August 7, 8, 9 and 10.
If you follow the above instructions,
and your certificate is duly validated, you
will be entitled up to August 14 to a con-
tinuous passage ticket to your destina^
tion by the route over which .you made
the going journey at one-third the limited
fare.
A special arrangement has been effected
whereby members may, by depositing
their certificates with the joint agent at
the Exposition, on or before Augilst 14,
on payment of the sum of $1, obtain an
extension of their return tickets until
August 2i.
Local excursion rates to the Fan-Ameri-
can Exposition will be in force at all
points,and members will, of course, make
use of same in place of the certificate plan
where it is to their advantage to do so.
From New England States rates are
not yet settled, but it is probable that
the railroads in this territory will co-
operate with the trunk lines in the special
one and one-third farecertiflcate arrange-
ment.
From all points not above specified,
i. e., west of the Mississippi and north of
the Ohio River, members will purchase
regular Pan-American Excursion tickets.
These vary according to length of time
for which they are good. On a time limit
of ten days from date of sale from mostof
these points, an excursion rate of one fare
plus $1 is made, or, on a time limit of !.'>
da.ys, a rate of one and one-third tare,
tickets to be signed and validated by
joint agent at Buffalo.
From points in Colorado and in Soutli
Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas west of
the lOOtli meridian, the rate of one fare
plus $1 is made on a .30-da.v limit.
THE TRADE EXHIBITION.
Entries with the superintendent indi-
cate that this will be the grandest expo-
sition of the latest improvements in all
requisites for the greenhouse and other
departments of the florists' t)usiness,

new and rare plants, garden implements,
bulbs, seeds and supplies, ever inaugu-
rated. A very large amount of space has
already been rented, and intending exhib-

the superintendent for such accommoda-
tions as they require. Rules relative to
the judges' duties and methods of mak-
ing awards may be had on application
to the secretary or the superintendent of

located in an out of the wa.v place and
merits a morepromineutpositlon. It in-
cludes upwards of 7.5 named varieties,
many of which show attractive merit.
blooms of the following being noted
specially: Koko-no-wo, very large pur-
ple, with reddish cast: Meiran, flesh
ground, veined with magenta; Nigiuo-
Tomoye, pink ground, lighter borrlered,
veins and flaking still lighter: Koki-no-

Two Agave americana(ccntur.vplants)
set in the ground in front of the Women's
Building promise the unusual feature of
flowering this Summer and at an early
day, canes that have been tlirown uji
now growing rapidl.v. These are of a
singularly similar size on both plants.
At four feet from the ground the flower
stems are now five inches in diameter,
while their height is fully 1.5 feet.

Jas. Vick's Sons have nicel.v liv-
ened up their seed trade exhiliit with
six-inch pot tuberous begf»nias in flower.
Some of the blooms are unusually large,
measuring six inches across.
In the south conservatory, the F. R.
Plerson Co. show three fine specimen
Eatania borbonica plants in tubs. These
plants are fine and perfect, and two of
them show a spread of 12 feet each.

Facts Pertaining: to Plant Life.
By C. L. Allen.
{Concluded from page TOH.)
The same is true with the plant creat-
ed for a given time and place; it had in it
from its conception the possibilities of
growtli and development, in harmony
with other forms of life, of which it is a
part. There was not a plant created
that has not in it an inner, as well as an
outer, or physical life, it is that life that
moulds the character of the plant, or
chiinges its form, to live in harmony with
other forms.
Change is an active principle in the
order of creation, in fact, tlie soul of na-
ture. While natural laws are immutable,
mutabilit.v marks ever.y movement in the
over onward, upward progress or de-
velopment of created forms, in the strict
line of evolution.
Tlie chain of nature is made up of ever-
var.ving, ever-changing links; each has
its itulividuality, its purpose. Between
light, which mark the days and years
of the earth's pilgrimage.
The wild, undeveloped man fed on wild,
undeveloped fruits and vegetables. As
man's intellect and moral faculties devel-
oped, there was a. like development in the
character of the vegetables and fruits
that furnisiied him support.
Many veget;ibles have materiall.y
changed in character, by a change in cli-
matic conditions. And the change, while
for the purpose of self-preservation, was
in the line of development of food pro-
duct, or in the line of the beautiful in the
flower. The fleshy substance of the squash
and the melon is much thicker when
grown in temperate climates, than when
grown in the tropics, or in sub-tropical
countries, where the plants nrc indigen-
ous, which is for the preservatioiL of the
seed. Nature, being a rigid economist,
made this provision a means of support
to the animal forms, which are alike
worthy subjects of consideraton. Thus
the flesh of the squash performs a double
duty, the protection of the germ of a
future life, and the supply of food for
animal forms.
The egg plant, where indigenous, is
mostly seed and but little flesh; at the
north, it is mostly flesh, and but little
mother ever guarded more tenderl.v the
infant in it's crib than does Mother Na-
ture guard the germ, when in the bud,
which is to be the mother of many gene-
rations.
This care is more plainl.v visible in the
bud of the horse chestnut than in that of
an.v, or, at least, most other forms of
plant life. This tree is a native of Persia
where there are no frosts to injure the
most delicate germs of plant life. When
we introduce that tree here, Mother Na-
ture immediately protects the bud witli a
coating of wax, and the farther north the
tree is taken, the more thickly is tliis
coating applied. When growth com-
mences the wax softens, until its consist-
ency isnotgreaterthan that of water, yet
sufficient to ki'cp liack tlie cold and mois-
ture that would endanger the plant's life.
Ever.v iilant breathes, whisjiers or war-
bles the must Ilea venl.v arcana,; they speak
in unkiio\\'n tongues, but most eloquently
— and impressively — not in words, but in
feeling and in the language of the human
soul.
We talk often of natural and revealed
religion which points us to the earth — to
the universe with its wonderful mechan-
ism, as a proof that there is a God, and
that no such wonderful elaboration, where
Fig 3.

(.See pajje 709, issue of July 6.)
all is a rel.ated harmony. The change in
one link or form makes necessary a corre-
sponding cliange in another. The ani-
mate and inanimate orders of creation
are separate chains made up of links in-
numerable, but so welded together, that
in the economy of nature, the microsco-
pic forms av<S as important as the mon-
sters that inhabit the earth and the sea.
There is no creative force, no life sustain-
ing principle, in the one, that is not to be
found in the other. The law of repair,
supply, ileveiopnieiit.aMil for the perpetu-
ationaiid disseniinatloii of the species, is
as applicable to the one as the other.
Every human being was created for a
purpose; there is a well planned course
fur him to run. Ever.v step taken Is
marked by a change, the last completes
the circuit. We pass away and mir jilaces
arc filled by others whose evei-.v thought,
ever.v action is a change, a ile\elnpiiieiit.
Tlie tree, the iilaiit, the animal, the bug
and the fish, all do the same, each doing
its allotted work in its own wa.y and
time, then giving place to others that
work along the same lines, which change
.according lo neiessity, and in the order
of their creation.
The vegetable world is constantly
changing in its .adaptation to the ever-
varying conditions ol moisture, heat and
seed; and the same rule holds good with
all other vegetable forms.
The inner life, or the soul of the tree,
shows some wonderful thought in the
line of self-preservation. Take two seeds
of the mahogany tree; plant one in the
deeji, rich, alluvial soil in the valleys,
near sea. level. The tree will make a most
rapid growth, and the timber will be
what is called .Spanish cedar, only fit for
cigar boxes where strength is not re-
quired. Plant the other at a high elev.i-
tion where there are terrific gales: the
growth will be much slower, and the cells
will be arranged with a view t o stiengi h :
the.v will be twisted and curled in every
conceivable shape, which makes the beati-
tifiil blotched and figured nialiogauy,
used ill the finest cabinet work.
It is a mistake to suiiposethe tree a
single life. It is a colony of lives. Ever.v
bud is an individual life, which is laid
down when the leaves fall and new buds
are formed to renew the tree's life .-mil
work. This germ is giuinled with the
most tender care. It is surrounded bv
all the leaves in infant form, that will lie
on tlie coining .year'sbrauch. These over
lap each other so carefully th.il Ihe luld
air cannotpossiblyreacli the infant jdaiit,
until Spring, with its encouraging
warmth, bids them come forth. No.
each part fits into its .appropriate place,
and where the whole maihine, subtle,
grand and simple, works so ralml.v and
perfectly, could have existed except by
careful design. T\w proof is overwhelm-
ing thiit one mind arranged ever.v part
and detail before the world was started
on its career. The argument is just and
weighty: but it has not half the power
that lies in the color and fragrance of the
rose, the twinkle of the dew driiji, the
flashing, shifting, ripple of the brook, the
calm, holy and indescribably beautiful re-
flection along the shores of some wooded
pond or mountain lake. These are the
visible mauifestatioiis of God. lie is the
beautiful; and when we love and culti-
vate the beautiful, we love and cultivate
His plain outward m.initestation.
The simplest flower, a single bud. the
crimson spider that flashes about on
pond or river, the sea-anemone anchored
to its rock, are all parts of. and neces-
sary to the whole wonderful beauty of
nature. In beauty there is a law of
gravitation: each atom attracts the
whole in proportion as it is itself attract-
ed. The sinqilest object in the natural
world is as ini|)ort ant— as well-recognized
b.v the Creator — as valuable to the dis-
cerning eye, as the greatest and most
Impressive.

tered corner, if such a spot be available.
II, however, they cannot be given aplace
outside where they will be sheltered from
strong winds, the.v will be better if kept
in a greenhouse that is shaded sufflcieutly
so that the foliage will not burn. A good
syringing should also be given to the
plants twice a day when the weather is
hot.
Young palms that are being grown on
should be in a house that is heavily
shaded. The pots should be plunged in
some material or other on tlie benches.
If the house is one that customers do not
have to go through, the plunging mate-
rial can just as well be composed of stable
manure.
Araucarias. — During the hot months
these do best if kept in a slat house, or a
deep frame that can be covered with
slats or laths. The pots need not be
plunged. Have three or four inches of
coal ashes spread on the bottom and
stand the pots thereon. The ashes will
allow the water to drain from the pots
freely.
Drac.jonas.— The young stock that
was planted outdoors must receive daily
attention during the dry weather. The
excessive heat will make these plants
grow immensely, provided they are well
taken care of. Give them a good heavy
syringing every morning and evening, and
see that the surface of the soil is kept
loose enough to prevent it from becoming
baked.
Hydranoeas in the field have to be
cultivated frequently to keep down
weeds, and also to keep the soil open to
prevent its drying out too much. Should
the weather become dry enough to make
the foliage show signs of wilting, it will
be advisable to give the plants some
water. It may be very inconvenient to
water a patch of these plants in the field,
but it will pay in the end to do so.
Cyclamens.— To have these plants just
right constant attention is the chief
point. Tlie plants are, or should be, in
shallow frames with a cloth covering
over them through the day and no cover-
ing at all during the night. They should
be looked over at least three times a da.v
and suchplantsas needitshould be given
water. To attempt watering the whole
lot every morning so as to be sure that
they all have plenty, is a very bad policy
to pursue in the culture of cyclamens.
Buffalo.
This week started in its first day witli
the balmiest of cool weather, so visitors
and home people alike can breathe easy.
Trade in the Main .Street stores has
taken on its natural course of dullness,
and early closing has become the rule.
The recent hot spell tended to reduce the
size of carnations somewhat. These
flowers have shown up rather plentiful
all da.v. Outdoor sweet peas are now
abundant and pretty.
The coming convention matters are
running along apace and smoothly.
Club meetings are now set down for each
Tuesday evening.
Recent visitors included John B. Milly,
now of Cleveland; Harlan P. Kelsey,
Boston; Max Beatus, Cleveland; and H.
H. Battles and family of Philadelphia,
Intent on visiting the Pan-American.

Market and Trade Notes.
The florists' trade is about as quiet
as is usual in. Summer, very little going
on excepting occasional funeral work.
Stock of all sorts is abundant and as
choice as would be expected after the hot
spell. Longitlorum lilies are too plenti-
ful; some grown outdoors are to be liad
and prices are low. Gladiolus are com-
ing in slow, not enough for the demand.
.John Bader and W.C. Koerble, of Jean-
ette. Pa., have left for New York. Mr.
Bader sails for Europe on the 11th, per
French steamer La Normandie, and ex-
pects to be away for several months.
Chas. Koeuig, of Bennett, Pa., sold his
entire stock of palms and decorative
plants to ,fohn Bader, and will hereafter
grow only cut flowers.
At this week's meeting of the Florists'
Club arrangements will be completed for
the annual picnic to be held Wednesday,
.July 17, at Fred Burki's farm on the P.
& W. R. R., Bakerstown. Mr. Burkl and
several others have formed a company
for growing cut flowers and are erecting
several fine up-to-date glass houses for
this purpose.
Among others who contemplate build-
ing this season are C. T. Siebert, on Stan-
ton Avenue, and .] ohn Bader,of Allegheny.

The AVeatker and the Market.
The situation here as regards
weather conditions is practically same
as at last report, save that at present
writing we have had 48 hours of cooler
atmosphere, but chances are that it will
soon be warmer again. Scattering local
showers afforded temjjorary relief in
some spots, while in others but a few
miles distant not a drop fell. Violets are
suffering in the field ; same can be said of
carnations, though possibly not quite as
bad. This has been a Summer with no
growing season; it jumped from cool,
almost cold weather. Into very hot, with
no rain to speak of. Cut Howers are
almost an unknown quantity. Roses are
so poor they can hardly be used; a half
dollar woulcl now cover the largest white
carnations; pinks are better, but all are
scarce and hard to get.
Notes.
W. C. Young and wife will shortly
leave for an extended eastern trip, spend-
ing some time at Atlantic City and Buf-
falo during Convention.
Mrs. James Young is spending tlie
Summer at St. Paul.

Club Notes.
The meeting Monday night was
well attended and the proceedings of an
interesting character. The picnic com-
mittee reported that final arrangements
had been made, and the boat chartered
tor Tuesday, 16th inst.
.John Walsh read a paper entitled " A
trip to Buffalo." He was enthusiastic in
his praise of the exhibition and fretjuently
impressed it on his hearerson no account
to missthismarvel of the age. Mr. Walsh
is of the opinion that the exhibit in hor-
ticulture is not of an equal degree of
merit with the exhibits in other lines.
Answering an inquiry as to accommoda-
tion and hotel charges, he said; The ac-
commodation was excelleut and the
charges most moderate, giving an ad-
dress on Clinton Street, where he obtained
an excellent room and breakfast for $1.2.")
per day. This will most probably be the
headciuarters of the Montreal contingent
which will, from present indications, be a
fairly large one. He cliaracti'rized the
exhibition proper as most orderly, but
advised his hearers to be careful of their
pockts in tlie Midway, and in the imme-
diate vicinity outside the grounds. He
expressed admiration for the well-kept
private residences of Buffalo, but here
again he was of the opinion that horti-
culture was not worthily represented.
Thirteen of the members took the trip to
St. Agatlia and were delighted with the
experience. This district, in the heart of
the Laurentide Mountains, reaching
about 4,000 feet above sea level, was
until a very few years ago practically in-
accessible. The truth of the oft-repeated
assertion that Amercuns appreciate its
advantages more than Montrealers, is
amply exemplified by the number of
American flags waving over the hand-
some residences. The wealth and beauty
of the pine forests was a revelation,
many of us being ignorant that such va-
rieties were hardy in this vicinity. An
extremely handsome and vivacious young
lady, claiming relationship of grand-
daughter to Commodore Walsh, rendered
the train ride very enjoyable.

Market Quiet; Good Flowers Scarce
Outside of a fair trade on sailing
days of the transatlantic steamers, and
a small amount of funeral work, business
is at a standstill. But with this tallinf;'
off in trade comes also a shortening up of
the supply. The extreme hot spell of a
week ago has about finished the crop of
outdoor rose.s, so that at times it is diffi-
cult to olitjiiu really high grade flowers:
especially is this true of carnations, fn
roses, American Heanty Iiold out fairly
well, and Souvenir du President Caruot
and Kaiserin .\ugu.sta \'ictoria are of
good (lualify, but about all the other
varieties aie very poor.
('arnatious are also coming in smaller,
hut are plentiful enougli to meet all de-
mands at 7."»c. per 100, with extras, if
tlie liest grade may be so-called, at $1.
Sweet peas continue in very good sup-
ply at 1.5c. to 2nc. per 100. There are a
few good Laucifoli\im lilips, album and
rubrum, on the market, but for these the
call is liglit and unsteady. They sell at
$1.50 per 100.
MasSBcliusetts Horticultural Society.
A monthly meeting of the Massa-
chusetts Horticultural Society was held
.July 6. The committee on plants an-
nounced the election of Robert M. Grey
of North Eastou as a, member'of the com-
mittee to succeed William W. Lunt, re-
signed, and of Arthur H. Fewkes as
chairman of the committee, in place of
Mr. I.unt. A long discussion took place
in relation to the use of the new building,
which is not yetcompleted. It was voted
to have an exhibition there in September,
in case arrangements could be made.
Vacation Time is Here.

Trade Items.
Baltimore has had the hottest
weather experienced in years; 103 de-
grees in theshade. Trade wasat a stand-
still, and stock suffered on account of the
intense heat, so much so that annuals,
sweet peas, etc.. dried up in the field.
Business is dull, very dull.
Notes.
A few liouses are going up here,
but there is no building boom on hand
this year.
A great effort is making to have Balti-
more well represented at Buffalo in Au-
gust next. Edwin A. Seidewitz.
The Gardeners' Club at its recent meet-
ing decided to postpone the selection of
the date of its Buffalo trij) till next meet-
ing night.
A committee was appointed to make
arrangements for dahlia,chrysanthemum
and carnation shows, and to select dates
for them. R. Vincent, .Jr., said he would
be able to furnish 10,000 cut blooms tor
the dahlia show.
On July 0 a heavy thunderstorm passed
over this district. The 75-foot smoke
stack ot R. Vincent, Jr., & Son, at White
Marsh, was .struck by lightning, the cap
bricks being thrown on an adjoining
greenhouse, causing some little damage.
The lightning also tore a hole in the roof
of the boiler house, setting tire to same,
which, fortunately, was extinguished be-
fore much harm resulted. The day fol-
lowing a hall storm visited the same lo-
cality, cutting down crops considerably,
but not breaking much glass, possibly
owing to the fact that a heavy rain tell
at the same time. For this latter condi-
tion the Messrs. Vincent are thankful, as
they are not members of the Hail Asso-
ciation. [Lock thedoor before the horse

College Park, Md.
Important changes have taken place in
the personnel of the state horticultural
department, with headquarters at the
Maryland Agricultural College. Prof. C.
O. Townsend, tor the past three years
protessorot botany and plant pathology,
and H. P. Gould, who has been in charge
ot the entomological work tor the past
six months, have taken up their work in
the United St.ites department of agricul-
ture. Guy Ij. Stewart is now state path-
ologist and professor ot botany and
plant pathology. Prof. Ij..\.Quaintance,
entomologist, formerly at the Georgia
Experiment Station, it is understood,
will not begin his work here until the
first of .August. H. C. Whitetord, one of
this year's graduates of the college, it is
said upon good authority, has been ap-
pointed assistant pathologist.
Indianapolis.
Association Meeting.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Florists' Association of Indiana for July
was field at the Commercial Club rooms,
Tuesday evening, July 2. The attend-
ance was satisfactory; the weather ex-
tremely hot and sultry. The presiding
officer, J'". IS. Alley, was presented with a
gavel from Mount Vernon by Wm. G.
Bertermann.
The committee on outing reported that
Spring Lake Park was the most suitable
place tor the occasion; Weilnesday, July
17, was selected as the date. Everyone
interested in floriculture is invited to be
present. The committee appointed to
inquire into the selling ot flowers on the
streets reporte<l that they had consulted
the mayor and city attorney. As the
ordinances now stand nothing can be
done unless brought before the council.
As election is on next Fall it was decided
to postpone all efforts along this line.
State Vice-President S. A. F. O. H., H.
W. Rieman, reported that about five or
six members wouhl go to the Buffalo
convention, and that railroad rates on
the certificate plan were the best that
could be obtained. He will make special
eHorts to get as many Indiana delegates
to go as possible so as to lioom the
American Carnation Society's meeting,
to be belli here next February.
The next meeting of our association
will beheld July 30.
Secretary Bertermann reported pro-
gress tor tile chrysanthemum show com-
mittee. .Subscriptions are still coming in,
and the sum originally expected will
nearly be made up; 25,000 elegant sou-
venir programs will be among the adver-
tising features.
The weather has been warm, nearly
too warm to stand it without difficulty,
and then the dry, hot winds made it
worse. In this section rain is badly
needed. At present the temperature has
fallen from 20 to 30 degrees, with a cold
dry wind. Business, of course, has taken
a decided drop, and flowers are of very
poor quality.
Mr. and Mrs. A. Baur have gone East
for several weeks. They will visit Erie,
Pa., the Buffalo Exposition, and several
otlier places ot interest.
The seed houses report a very satisfac-
tory business for tbeseason; the nursery
business has never been better, while the
flower trade has only been satisfactory
in spots. Some florists report fabulous
increases in business, but, of course, these
statements generally must be taken euiii
grano .yalis. W. B.

The greenhouses of Michael Clark, re-
cently put up at auction, were not sold,
owing to lack of bidders and disposition
to bid.

Folltlosi Rule Kiid'd at LIdcoIu Park!
A new set of eomniissidncTS, or a
sufticiont mmiberto control, tias lu-eu ap-
pointed by Governor Yates, witli the
distinct assurance that no interference
from politicians will lis hereafter allowed
in the management of Lincoln I'ark. At
thfir meeting, .July G, the Hoard of C'om-
niissioners unanimously appointed Itue-
ben H. Wanler, of Cincinnati, as superin-
tendent, and tliat gentleman will enter
upon his duties on Monday, .lul.v 15,
with a salary of $.''i,()()0 per annum. The
friends of Lincoln Park can rest assured
Mr. Wanler is to have a free han<l in rid-
ding the I'ark once more of the incubus
of political hacks, who have brought the
once well-kept ground, when under the
superintendence of Mr. .fohn A. I'ettigrew
(now of the Kostou Parks,) into a most
deplorable condition. Excepting the
greenhouse and pl.ant part, which, fortu-
nately, in a measure was left free, the
I)ark iind boulevards have been allowed
to go wild, parts of the glorious lake
shore boulevards to the north not even
having been mowed once tiiis Summer.
Mr. Warder ie in the ])rime of life, 4.'> or
50 years of age, comes from good horti-
cultual stock, was born in Cincinnati,
the son of the late Dr. John A. Warder,
author and lecturer, and recognized in
his time as one of the distinguished hor-
ticulturists of the country. The sou has
been known as a close student for years,
especially of arboriculture, and was for
seven years in charge of the Cincinnati
I'arks, the present ideal condition of
which are warrant forhiseminent fitness
for his new posi'ion. The injury done to
the Park will take timeand money to re-
store to its old eminence, but with a park
expert, as against political wire-pullers
expending the people's money, we may
confidently look forward with hope to
the future.
On to Baffulo.
The Chicago Florists' Club Trans-
portation Committee has decided on the
Wabash route, starting on Sunday, .Au-
gust -t, exact hour not yet determined,

ing; this will give a day for the Pan-
.\merican before the meeting. The com-
mittee have every reason toexpect a well
appointed special train. Rates $13 tor
round trip, less it an.y rate-cutting
takes place that week. The sleeping car
fare will be $3 a berth each way. An ex-
cellent dining car service is assured.

A Cause for Thauklulnens.
We have been comfortably warm
for the past 10 days, but it is some satis-
faction to know that ours has not been
so hot as some of the eastern cities. The
season for theflowerbusiness is past, but
we report for dnt.v every morning and
wait to hear the latest fish stories by
<Jharlie Jones and Hen (ieorge. Ry the
way, Ben is again the proud papa of a
bouncing bo.v, who arrived .July ;i. Tliis
makes four lioys and two girls in this
happ.v family.
I notice from the Morning Commercijil
tlia.t our former park superinten<lent, R.
H. Warder, has received the appointment
as superintendent of Lincoln Park, Chi-
cago, at a salary of f.'i.OOO a year. Chi-
cago is to be congratulated on procuring
the services of so valuable a man as Mr.
Warder.
The Itutt'alo Convention.
I have had uumerous letters recent-
ly from florists, who aregoing to Buffalo,
and are coming this way, asking for
rates. The rate from this city to Buffalo,
tickets good for 10 tlays, and return is
$12.25 for the round trip This is avail-
able over all roads out of Cincinnati.
The Big Four gives the privilege of going
by boat from Cleveland, which affords
one a day on the Lake. Or for the same
money oiie can go to Toledo, via the C.
H. & 1). R. K. and take a steamer from
tliere, giving a day and night upon the
lake; and for $1 extra .vou can goto
Detroit, and thence by lake to Buffalo.
Either of these routes is first class, and
the fare is much cheaper than by the cer-
ficate plan. .\ny one coming this wiiy
and desiring further information, will be
cheerfully accommodated on notifying
the writer at 113 East Third Street.

FLORISTS' WIRE DESieNS
Hackensack, N. J.
At Mr. Clement Moore's greenhouses,
near Anderson .Street station, was seen
this week a magnificent lot of C. gigas in
full Vilooni, reail.v lor cutting. The plants
were collected by Messrs. Lager ,V Hurrell,
in a section where C. aurea also exists,
and many of tlie C gigas blooms show
marked V. aurea tendencies. Dut of the
collection, George W. Peterkin, foreman
to Mr. Moore, has flowered one plant
which presentsa marked variation to the
gigas type, the yellow blotches being
practically entirely missing, and the lip
a full solid color, richer and deeper than
the type; its appearance is ver.v distinct,
and this particular plant should prove
valuable. Mr. Peterkin has tried the
board system tor growing, but is dis-
carding it as, in his experience, the plants
have not done nearly as well as they
ordinarily do when grown in pots and
baskets. The reason for this is'attributed
in part to excessive heat and excessive
humidity: the plants refusing to root
vigorously, and, on the contrary, losing
their vitality.
Worcester, Mass.
The weekly show of the Horticultural
Society was held Wednesday with a very
nice exhibit of zonal pelargoniums in
vases. There were five exhibitors. Some
ver.v nice gloxinias were shown by Breed,
of Clinton. An exhibit of very large
strawb^rries was made by J. M. Whitin.
Trade is very good at present. Plants
are drooping somewhat, and Howers are
smaller owing to the dry hot weather.

(Sago Palm). There is nothing that can be grown
more easily and nothing that will yield so large a
profit to the average florist as a case of Cycas steins,
if you have never tried them, try a case. The plants are easily grown, and If started soon,
win make grand plants for I'^all and Winter trade. It is one of the roost salable plants that
can be grown. The first cost of the stems is trifling, and the plants sell readily at a good
price. We offer Cycas in cases of assorted sizes, from 4' to 12 inches in length, the most
salable and desirable sizes. Dormant stems are ready for Immediate shipment. Our stock is
In fine shape, and the variety offered Is the true long-leaved variety. Our price la very low,
as follow«: Case of 300 lbs. fur $28.50; three or more caaea at 821.00 per case; fall
1 uO-lb. lets for S8. 00 ; less q aantltles at lOo. per lb.
We have an exceptionally fine stock of this at
this time. Plants* are exceedingly well-t^olored,
having been grown cool and hard, and they will

CHRISTMAS PEPPER
(CAPSICVni ANNVUBI)
An Easily Grown, Quick Selling, Red Berried Plant for
CHRISTMAS SALES.
THE DEMAND for red berried plants for holiday trade is always greater
than the supply. This Capsicum is undoubtedly the cheapest grown
as well as one of the quickest selling red berried plants that we have.
It is extensively grown by the best growers of holiday plants, and finds a ready sale
in 5 and 6 Inch pots at $1.00 each and upwards, wholesale.
We have prepared about 1000 selected plants which are now ready to shift Into
4 inch pots (which if shitted into 6 inch pots about October 1st, will make flne,
shapely plants, 14 to 18 inches high, and 14 Inches and upwards in diameter, pro-
fusely furnished with brilliant red berries by Christmas,) which we offer at $4.00
per 100 ; $35.00 per 1000. In order to get the best result from these they should be
ordered at once, so as to give them the first shift immediately.

after a successful tour among the Ameri-

Floral Park, N. Y.— Senator John
Lewis Chitdsisnot only a successful seeds-
mnn,but he is also an enthusiastic natur-
aii.st.Last week he purchased of Miss .lean
Bell, of Philadelphia, a collection of North
American birds' eggs and nests, said to
contain at least one specimen of every
kind of egg Isnown. Miss Bell has spent
28 years in making the collection. In
size they range from that of the great
auk, which is valued at $1,800, to that
of the smallest humming bird. The col-
lection cost more than $2.5,000 in actual
cash outlay for eggs. Mr. Childs will
add the collection to his own, which is
very large.
European Notes.
At last we are more or less happy. In
nearly every district devoted to seed
growing in the northwestern part of
Europe, England included, a good,
steady ran has fallen, without the de-
structive accompaniments of hail and
snow which have played such havoc in
the south, particularly in Italy. Such of
your readers as do the writer the honor
to peruse these notes will therefore please

tities are already cut with the results as
previously reported; the later varieties
are still standing, and while the number
of the seeds will not be increased tliey
will develop in size and weight. This is
equally true of rutabaga which promises
to be a crop of fine quality this year,
especially in England. With this fact in
view it is a gieat pity the acreage is so
limited.
In flower seeds, pansiesand nasturtium
are the most likely to benefit. Sweet
peas have gone too far.

In the middle of .June an exhil)ition of
p.Tonieswas had at Iloskoop, principally
to get the different varieties true to
name. There were many lots f)f flowers.
There seem to be only five really pure
white kinds, viz.: Festiva maxima, Pa-
ganini,Edulis alba, Nivea plenissima and
Candiclissima. All the others exhibited
as white showed more or less .vellow
shade. Several of them were splendid
flowers, particularly Delicourt, Verhille,
rosy yellow; Duke of Wellington, Mont
Blanc and about a dozen more. The
best of the rosy white pa'onies were
Humea alba, a really superb flower,
(owners, Messrs. Tieerhorst ,.t Van Leeu-
wen, at Sassenheim). The best rosy red
was Eilulis superbn. Therewei-e also col-
lect ion snf single pieonics.chinensis, among
purr white, Rosy DiMvn and The Bride;
soft satiny rose Hnbesceus and Cleopa-
tra, rtjsy white Beatriceand Yicti>i"la,and
dark red The Moon and Duchess of Port-
land were especially noteworthy.
"The exhibition was quite a success, and
gives the hope that within a short time
an assortment ol pa'onies, true to name,
for nursery purposes will be ready tor the
market.
This exhibition afforded a good oppor-

tunity to cast a general glance at the
Boskoop nurseries. Plants in pots, par-
ticularly lilacs, have suffered from the
long drought last Spring; only by water-
ing the plants could thej' be kept in good
condition.
The growth of the shrubs in the fields
is in general satisfactory. Rhododen-
drons, azaleas, clematis, kalmias, mag-
nolias and evergreeeiis give good expec-
tations, especially the first mentioned,
which will be richer budded th.an last
year.
Referring to the bulb crop, tulips are
not abumlant, but insufficient supply tor
the demand. It is expected that former
prices will be maintained ; on some varie-
ties they will probabl.v advance. Hya-
cinths kept very well and will reach their
full size this season. Every one here
speaks of a large stock and falling prices.
Narcissi have suffered from a disease
called " fire.'' Withlu a couple of days
the healthiest and greenest lots turned
quite yellow. Many growers sprayed
the foliage with bouillie bordelaise, but
it does not seem to prevent the disease
att.acking the plants, which do not reach
their usual size. Crocus are bad and
almost not worth the trouble of bring-
ing them home. B.

Perry, O, — L. Green & Son Company
are making extensive additions to tbeir
storage buildings.
Normal, 111.— William Glbbs, of the
Phoenix Nursery Co., has left for an ex-
tensive trip through nurseries of the East.
He will be absent about a month. Charles
Chade will take Mr. Gibbs' place as
foreman during the latter's absence.
The Western .\e80ciation of Nursery-
men metattheCentropolls Hotel, Kansas
City, Mo., July 9. About 20 members
from Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Okla-
homa, Iowa and Arkansas attended the
meeting. Tlie officers of the association
are A. L. Brooks, of Topeka, president;
K. H. Blair, of I^ee's Summit, vice-presi-
dent; E. J. Holman, of Leavenworth,
secretary.
Eugene W. Stark, of Louisiana, Mo.,
says the fruit crop of Missouri will be cut
short by the extremely hot and dry
weather. This is especially true in the
southern part of the state. Kansas
groovers are also looking for a short
crop, but conditions in Nebraska, where
there has been an abundance of rain in
nearly every part of the state, are more
hopeful.
Wilton E. Britton, who has for seven
years been horticulturist at the Connec-
ticut Agricultural Experiment station,
has received the appointment of state
entomologist in accordance with tlie new
law which went into effect on July 1,
relative to insect pests. The work to
which Mr. Britton is assigned is under
the new law transferred to the experi-
ment station and is to be conducted
there under the appropriation made by
the state. Tlie law provides for the in-
spection of all nurseries in the state and
stock brought into this state from else-
where must bear a certificate of inspec-
tion under the new law. Mr. Britton be-
gins his new duties at once. He will re-
main at the experiment station.
The Fruiting of Oaks. — In the man-
ner of fruiting, oaks are divided into two
sections, those that liear acorns on the
young shoots of tiie same season, and
those that bear them on the sliootsof the
previous year's growth. In the latter
case the acorns are formed a year in ad-
vance of their starting to perfect tliera-
eelves, being in an euibryo stage for 12
months. In the former class are the
white and the chestnut oak and others,
while tlielatter is represented by the well-
known red and the scarlet oak. These
two, the red and the scarlet, are very full
this season of developing acorns, but
have no embryo ones for next year, there-
fore nurserymen should sow an extra
quantity of those to be had this Autumn
Strawberry Runners. — Both nursery-
men and florists often have calls for
strawberry plants for Summer planting,
that from these plants acropof fruit may
be had the following Spring, something
wliich is quite feasible. Pot plants are
used tor the purpose. The old plan of
obtaining plants in pots was to plunge
pots under the plants outdoors, filling
them with soil, and allowing the young
plants to root Into them. A far more ex-
peditious and better wa.y is tlie modern
metliod of cutting off the young plants
as soon as a few white roots are per-
ceived, potting tliem, and placing them
in a shaded frame or greenhouse, to per-
fect their rooting, which does not take
long to acconiplisli. With such young
plants, rooted well enough to stand
planting out without wilting, a bed may
be formed, and sliould the season be a
good one, very strong plants will result
by Fall, from which a large crop of fruit
may be looked for the following June.

(172) Remedy for'Smiiax Bugs.—
Can you name a'remedy, other than hy-
drocyanic acid gas, for smilax bugs, with
which pest we are troubled very much?
— S. & S.
— Hammond'sSlug Shothasbeen found
very satisfactory in removing tliese pests.
(173) Locating Near the Sea Shore.
— Would a place near the sea shore, very
fertile ground, be a suitable location for a
florist to grow roses, carnations, etc'.'—
Subscriber.
— If I had to choose I would rather be
away from the sea shore to grow roses
and carnations on account of mildew. —
W. G. Eisele.
(174) Roses. — Can rose plants that
were propagated in January, 1901), he
planted in benches, and good results ob-
tained from them ? They are now in 3-
inch pots. — J. E. S.
— Tile roses that were propagated last
year may be planted with assurance of
doing well and they will give excellent
results, providing they are still in a
healthy condition.
(175) Stock Plants of Geraniums.
— Is the best geranium stock for propagat-
ing obtained by bedding the plants out-
side, or keeping them inside during Sum-
mer?—F. C. C.
—The best metliod of obtaining good
geranium cuttings is, without a doubt,
that of planting the stock outdoors.
(17()) Wholesale Prices of Sweet
Peas. — J. W. The prices for sweet peas
quoted in the issue of July 6, and for all
other issues, are tor 100 stems, not for
100 bunches.
(177) A Temporary Crop. — Please
tell me what would be the most profita-
lile plant to put in an indoor bed, 3 feet
wide and 150 feet long, so that I could
raise a crop and at the same time be able
to tear out the plants by January 1,
1902. I mean any kind other than free-
sias and other bulbs. — W. B. G.
— The best crop for such a purpose
would be chrysanthemums. Procure
young stock and get it planted in the
bench as soon as possible.
(178) Pitch of Greenhouse.- What
is the least pitch advisable to use in the
roof construction of a greenhouse. How
flat can a roof be, and not get too much
drip, or take too long time for snow to
meltoff it?— J. E. A.
—A slope of 30 degrees is desirable in
even-span houses and of 25 degrees in the
south slope of three-quarter span houses.
It is not advisable to reduce the slope to
less than 25 and 20 degrees, respectively.
For wide lean-to and side-hili houses, the
slope may be as little as 15 degrees.— L.

4-lucli east iron pipe. Tlie gutter is 6
fet't from tlie ground; no partitions be-
tween tLe liouses. Wliieli would be best,
overliead beating, or tlie old way '.' How
many flow tind returns would be neces-
sary,and of what size should they be'.' — A.
— To heat the above houses to 00 degrees
in zero weather, will require from eight
to nine 4-lnch pipes, the number varying
with the height of the ridge and the num-
ber of exposed walls in the houses. One-
half of the pipes on each side should be
Hows and the others returns. When 4-
inch pipes are used they should be under
the benches. If smallerpiiiesareeniployed
there shouM be either 10 or 12 if L'lo-iuch
is used, or three 2i/.-incli rtow^s, and 10 or
11 2-inch returns. In this case three 2V4-
inch pipes may be overhead if desired.—
L. R. T.
(180) How many 2-lnch pipes will be
requiredto heat a house to 00 degrees, the
temperature sometimes falling to zero.
Said house is y.5 feet long, IT feet wide,
peak 9 feet high, sides :i feet 0 inches
high. Glass on one end. Also how large a
grate surface is necessary; what should
be the size of the coil, and how should it
he made, for heating the water?— Old
SUBSCBIBEK.
—A temperature cf 00 degrees can be
Diaintained by means of six 2-inch pipes
im each side. It the glass end is much ex-
posed it will be well to carry the pipes
along the end as well. A grate 20 inches
in diameter will bo desirable, and this
should have about 45 square feet of ra-
liatiug surface. If 2-inch pipe is used for
the coils, about tour runs of five pipes
'a«h, three feet long, will furnish it.^L.
R. T.
(181) Aspect of Greenhouses.—
(Vhich would be the best way to erect
greenhouses, short span so, as not to be
shaded by gutters; one side is exposed
lortheast, other southwest, gables being
aorthwest and southeast. I want to
jse iron gutters and grow carnations
inb general bedding plants. Houses to
le 21 feet.- W. J. E.
—When the short-span-to-the-south
louses are used, the ridge casts less shade
;han when even span or long-span-to-
;he-south houses are constructed.
\nntlier advantage of short-span houses
8 that the shape of the roof favors the
alacing of a walk along the south wall,
thus bringing the plants in the south bed
Dut of the shadow of the gutter. Aside
from this, while many of the best giow-
irs liave a good word to say for this
style of house, there are others who are
equally pronounced against them.— L.

Appraisement of Stock from Japan.
Editor Florists' Exchange:
I beg to tbank you for your reply to
ra.T letter in your Issue of 27th October
last, and in reply to your remarks: " To
obviate a recurrence we would advise
that you obtain information as to the
market price ruling at date of shipment
and enter your goods at that figure," I
would say that during the 40 years that
I have been in Japan and China, I have
always endeavored so to do, and did so
in the instance referred to, specifying the
items separately as rei) nested by the
United States consul. The goods can be
had to-day, and atany time since theship-
ment, at less than 1 paid. Kobe is a
" one horse" town, and has not a whole-
sale nursery, or one large enough to fill
my orders, except at retail prices, if even
then. I have to go into the country tor
the materials, and I add labor and cart-
age, and anyone else can do the same. I
am repeatedly urged to duplicate the
purchase at lower prices. I am now in
my nursery in Southern Japan, and
would like to ask you how I am to ascer-
tain the market value of things never yet
shipped. Cycas palms grow in profusion.
The shipment I made cost less than $.37
gold, and I have to pay $119 for no fault
of my own.
I would also like to know why the en-
tire invoice could not have been forfeited
rather than having to pay such charges
— which do not correspond to the reply
of yours on page 1,022.
It is in the interest of the majority that
all kinds of tropical plants should be
sold at a fair profit, and to me it
appears, as well as to others here, that
shippers in Japan either pay reckless
prices, or have some ulterior object in
over invoicing goods so as to obtain
larger advances from the banks. Apolo-
gizing for the length of this.

such as farming, boating, typical country

considering the hot weather prevailing
they were very large and borne on long

OUR CONVENTION SPECIAL.
The Florists' Exchange will issue
next Saturday a special S. A. F. O. H.
Trade Exhibition and Pan-American Edi-
tion, to be profusely illustrated with
views of points of interest in and around
Buffalo, the Pan-American Exposition
and Nigara Falls, this portion of our
Special being printed on wood-cut paper,
in order to show the pictures to their ful-
lest advantage.
The reason for fixing the date of issue
of the Special one week in advance of the
meeting, rather than on the Saturday
immediately preceding the Convention,
was the fact that so many in the trade
remain undetermined up to the last mo-
ment, as to whether they shall go to Con-
vention, or take in some otherattraction
for their outing; and it was thought by
the publishers thatageneral distribution
of an issue containing so much that is of
interest would tend to induce those " on
the fence" to resolve, without further
parley, to go to Buffalo.
Those of the trade who will go will be
materially posted through the assistance
of this advance number on what to do,
what to see, what to wear and what to
take with them.
Last, although of just as much account
as any of^the preceding, possibly, will be
the advertisements of that day, which
will be inserted by our enterprising busi-
ness men. These will bedoubly valuable;
timely, thus giving all an opportunity of
lookiug them over, and acting on them
before the excitement of the week, and,
as appearing in an issue which will be re-
tained and prized for years to come both
by those who go and those who stay at
home.
Lodging: Accommodation in Buffalo.
It is now July 16 and, so far, applica-
tions for rooms during the convention
are coming in rather slowly, excepting
from New York and Philadelphia. Now,
as a favor to the Buffalo Florists' Club,
every one who expects to come should
send in his name, and give us the oppor-
tunity to do as we have offered, that is,
to secure good accommodations for all
who wish them, at one dollar per day
each and upwards. Do not wait until
the last minute and then come here and
expect us to supply you with accommo-
dations on five minutes' notice. Write to
W.A.Adams, chairman, and a blank will
be furnished with description of hotels,
boarding bouses and apartment houses
in all parts of Buffalo, at every price. It
is imperative that we should Icnovv your
requirements as soon as possible in order
to facilitate the work of the committee.
This booking is conducted by the Buffalo
Florists' Club, and, unlike other agencies,
entails no expense to the visiting florists.
All we ask is that you write and tell us
what you want, and we will give it to
you, but let us know before tbe last day.
W. A. Adams, Chairman.

William Galbraith.
William Galbraith died at his home on
Sanford Street, Dorchester, Mass., July 1,
after an illness of several weeks. Death
was due to paralysis. Mr. Galbriath was
76 years old, and was well known
in Milton and Dorchester, where he
had lived many years. He was born
at Dumbarton, Scotland, in 182,5, and
received his education at the schools
there. It was his father's intention
to fit him for the church, but his father's
death and the reversal of the family
fortunes made this impracticable. While
little more than a boy, he was apprentic-
ed to a florist. His trade learned, he
went at once to work and during the rest
of his life, until a few years ago, he re-
mained a florist, .\fter holding various
positions in Great Britain, among them
head gardener to the Duke of Montrose,
he came to America in 1867. Mr. Gal-
braith was a Scotch Presbyterian, and
was in every way thoroughly typical of
his country. He leaves a widow, a son
and two daughters.
John Klnnaird.
John Klnnaird, who was well known
to many of the trade around Philadel-
phia, died on Saturday last, at Ambler,
Pa., where he had resided for the past
four years, being in charge of the gardens
and grounds of C. H. Bergner,Es(i. Many
years ago Mr. Kinnaird was in partner-
ship with David Beam in the florist busi-
ness at 33rd and Wallace Streets. Giv-
ing up the florist trade, he went as
gardener to Joel J. Bailey, Esi|., at
Lansdowne. He was also for a time
superintendent of a park at Richmond,
Ind.; leaving which hereturned to Phila-
delphia, and worked for Henr.y A. Dr er
at Riverton, N. .1., for four years, going
from there to Ambler.
William James Waters.
William J. Waters, florist, of Calumet,
Mich., died Jul.v6,aged 43 years, after an
illness of several months. He was born
in Cornwall, England. Deceased was a
member of the Sons of .St. George Society,
and for several years was leader of the
Austrian band of Red Jacket. His
mother, two brothers and two sisters
survive him.
E. R. Lucatos.
E. R. Lucatos, one of the prominent
Greek florists of New Y'ork citv, doing
business at 301 Columbus Avenue, died
suddenly at 7 a. m. Sunday last. The
funeral took place on Tuesday. Mr.
Lucatos was about 38 years of age, and
by his gentlemanly manner always com-
manded the respect of those who knew
him.
OUR SUPPLEMENT.
Gordonla PUbescens, Franklin Tree.
Gordonia pubescens, the Franklin Tree,
besides being very rare, is one of the
most beautiful flowering trees in cultiva-
tion. Outside of Philadelphia, it is quite
rare to find this tree in any collection, and
it would be a great treat to many excel-
lent arboriculturists to see a specimen of
it. The reason it is so little known is,
that it is reported hard to propagate;
and, besides, being a native of Georgia, it
is not quite hardy north of New York
city.
The history of this small tree is unusu-
ally interesting. It was first discovered
by John Bartram, when on botanical re-
searches on the Altamaha River, in
Georgia, in 1760; but it was not brought
to his botanical garden in Philadelphia
until some 15 years later, when his son,
William Bartram, also a noted botanist,
revisited the place where the tree had
been previously observed, and brought
home ripe seeds of it, from which plants
were raised. Whether more seeds, or any
plants, were obtained subsequently does
notappear,but for many years all further
search for it in its wild state proved
futile; and the common belief is, that it
existed in but very limited quantities in
the first place, and, disappearing from its
original locality, it has not existed at all
in a wild state for very many years.
The distribution being from the old
Bartram Botanic Garden in Philadelphia
accounts for the few specimen trees to be
found in that city. Tlie old, original tree
in the Bartram Garden disappeared some
years ago. A nice specimen, a layer from
it, is situated near the garden, in the
grounds of the late William D. Hart, and
in Fairmouut Park, Philadelphia, are
some four specimens, two of which are
shown in the illustration. A few private
places also have each a tree of it.
As already said, it is one of the most
beautiful fiowering trees in cultivation.
A description of the flowers can hardly
convey an adequate idea of their splen-
dor. To say that they are like large,
single camellias, is as good a comparison
as can be made. In Meehan's Monthl.v,
Vol. 6, is a colored plate of it, which
gives an accurate idea of the flower. The
blossoms commence to expand in early
August, and from that time till freezing
weather comes, there is a grand proces-
sion of flowers. To add to all, as the
blooms open they exhale a delicate
fragrance.
Our illustration shows two trees, or
large bushes, of Gordonia pubescens, each
one of which is 15 feet in height, full of
white flowers. The blooms are indistinct
to the naked eye in the illustration, but
with a good glass they can be better seen.
Each flower lasts about a week. They
appear and open one after the other
along the lengths of the new growths.
So numerous are they on bushes like
these that as they fall they whiten the
ground underneath the tree.
On the right of the two gordonias will
be seen a large clump of Polygonum cuspi-
datum, a good decorative perennial
where a large clump is desired, and which
its suckering propensities soon create.
Between the two trees is an American
hoU.v bush; while behind the gordonia,
on the left, is some rare variety of the
Quereus nigra, our native black jack oak.
Referring again to the subject of the
propagation of the gordonia, though it
is usually propagated from layers alto-
gether, it roots readily from half ripened
wood, and any one with a thrifty plant
and greenhouse facilities could soon pos-
sess a stock of it.
There is another species, Gordonia
lasianthus, native of the soutli and more
plentiful, but though very pretty, it is
not the e(|ual of G. pubescens; neither is
it quite so hardy.

Is most valuable book as set forth in

a comiirehensive and descriptive list,
arranged in aljihabetical order, of the
best, most useful, and showiest oreliids in
couimerce; " and in this tlie.v h;i \m' suc-
ceeded .admirably. The volume embraces
some 3.'{(l pages, 2riG of which are given
up t" a list of the best-lino wn species and
varieties, showing also their native
habitat, season of flowering, as well as
affording brief but lucid descriptions of
the subjects listed. The balance of the
pages contain tables of hybrids, which in-
clude, as far as possible, all known hybrid
orchiils. .\'atural hybrids are also given;
being (listinguislKd tri'iii thoseartitieially
raised by an asterisk pntixed against the
name. Table 1 gives the names of the
hy brills arranged in alphabetical order,
w'itli the seed and pollen parents. The
second table records in the first column,
tlio.se plants which have been used as
seed parents, also arranged alpliabeti-
call.y, the name of the h.ybrid obtained
beiiig given in the third column. The
third table is similar to the second, but
gives tlie names of the pollen parents in
the first eolumu. The second and third
tables will be found of great use in distin-
guishing those hybrids which have the
same or similar parentage.
The whole guide, while serving as a
catalogue of the firm's specialty, has, as
will be seen, a value unsurpassed in its
kind as a book of reference, showing, as
it does, much careful and painstaking
work in the compilation. All orchid
growers, and those who contemplate
taking up this branch of the busine.ss,will
find the guide of inestimable service.

Club Meeting.
A slim attendance was present at
the special meeting of the club, held Mon-
day evening last, probably owing to the
sultry weather prevailing. President
Sheridan occupied the chair. The report
of the outing commitee, which showed a
deficit, was held over till the regular
meeting following convention. The pre-
sident commented upon the very enjoya-
ble nature of the outing, and attributed
the smalluess of the party to the threat-
ening weather, and the disinclination ot
the members to participate in the affair.
Mr. O'Mara and others also spoke of the
good time enjoyed. The exhibition com-
mittee expects to have the supplemen-
tary schedule out by the first week in
September. A meeting ot this commit-
tee, as well as ot the Ways and Means,
will be held in the club rooms, Monday
afternoon, .Inly 22, at :i o'clock. Young
& Nugent, wholesale commission men,
offer a cash prize of $25 for the best 25
American Beauty roses. The thanks of
the club were tendered the donors.
Chairman Langjahrsubmitted a report
setting forth the arrangements made by
the Transportation Committee relative
to the trip to the Buffalo Convention.
Particulars as to trains, rates, etc., are
given in anothercolumn. After consider-
able discussion the proposition to attach
a parlor car to the special train was
finally abandoned.
The committee was instructed to pro-
vide refreshments en route to tlie Bison
city, and this part ot the program will
be carefully attended to. .Some changes
in the information given in the circular
which has been distributed have been
rendered necessary by subsequent devel-
opments in the program of tlieS. .4. F.
O. H., more particularly regarding the
proposed trip to Niagara Falls, as men-
tioned in tlie circular referred to.
A fine plant of Oncidium flexuosum, ex-
hibited by .loseph A. Manda, South Or-
ange, N. .1., was awarded a certificate ot

Market News.
With the diminution in the supplies
of most kinds of flowers, business in
wholesale circles has assumed a more
even tone than had been possible for some
weeks previous. Owing to hot weather
experienced, retail trade was curtail-
ed considerably, while on the other hand,
crops were hurried along, and flootled the
market. Now, the supplies ot roses and
carnations have abated to such an ex-
tent that, although demands are very
meagre, the quantity ot these flowers ar-
riving can be fairly well cleared out.
Some new crop roses are coming in al-
ready, though the flowers are somewhat
small as yet.
A very limited number ot American
Beauty are being received, and when the
grade is all right, $.3 per dozen can be
realized for them.
Carnations are worth a little more than
they were, as the supply is smaller. Con-
sidering the unfavorable weather, the
carnations coming to this market at pre-
sent are of excellent quality. Some very
fine Lilium auratum blooms are seen;
these fetch $5 and $0 per 100. The de-
mand for longiflorum lilies has been quite
good tor a day or two, and the price
jumped to $-t per 100. These and lily of
the valley may be said to be about the
best flowers to handle just now, owing
chiefly to the fact that the major portion
of the retail business doing is funeral
work.
Sweet peas are becoming too plentiful;
the red and purple ones are the poorest
selling colors. \\'hite and pink are easier
to dispose of and bring the highest prices,
though these colors even are not realiz-
ing as much as they werea tew days ago.
Asters are arriving, but they are small
and short-stemmed as yet. Wliite ones
sell best and realize more than do the
purple colored ones.
There is not much call for asp.aragus,
smilax or adiantum. Ot these latter there
is quite an over supply and it cannot be
cleared out even when offered at extreme-
ly low prices.

Gerbera Jamesonii.
Many inilefinite etatenieuts bare been
Issued concerning our beautiful little
friend tbe "Barbertou Daisy," wliicli
have unfortunately tended to envelop it
in a deep fog of mystery, and this, it not
soon dispersed, would lower it into tlie
depth of oblivion. Tliemain contentions
in the various discussions are that gerbera
dc es not seed and germinate freely, and the
plants, when yon do get them, need special
care and treatment. This illusion leads
to a conclusion, that invariably the pri-
mary cause of failure in most things is
ignorance.
Gerbera .lamesonii is not conceded to
be a. new or rare plant by any means;
but I tear, though not new, we have but
superficially studied its structure and re-
quirements, hence the only too discour-
aging failures. In botanical parlance-
the Gerbera is "hermaphrodite," i. e., the
flowers have perfect pistils aud stamens;
on the other hand, with occasional excep-
tions, the flowers are "protogynous," i.
e., the pistils .and stamensdo not devi lop
of the flowers have pistils and stamens,
every flower lover could soon have the
scarlet daisy; at the same time, if all
who have stock will pay strict attention
to the above details, there will soon be
enough to go round.
A few remarks on cultivation at this
time will not, I think, be out of place.
The seed is rather slow to ripen, the
flowers not being readily affected by the
pollen, in fact, they will maintain their
vivid color untilafewdaysbeforetheseed
is read.v to gather. It is very important
to sow immediately; the seeds soon lose
their vitalit.vif stored away. Sow in flats
in two-thirds sifted leaf-soil to one of
loam, cover lightly and place in a brisk
temperature of SO to 85 decrees. In four
days you will notice your seedlings peep-
ing through and from that on, according
to their individual vitality. After the
seedlings iire well developed they should
be pricked off into flats, still using the
same mixture and shading lightly for a
few days, after which timethey will stand
full sun. As the plants increase in size
and vigor they may be again boxed on,
and thence finall.v planted into the bench;
being careful not to injure or disturb tbe
roots any more than possible. For this
planting use half and half leaf-soil and
loam. The plants object to a stiff soil.
After they are established, feed liberally.
Nkw Haven, Conn.— Smith T. Bradley
is increasing his plautnigsof Golden Gate
rose, as he could not siiiiply the demand
during tbe pastseason, which was highly
satisfactory. He will be at the conven-
tion, in all probability.
H.iRTroRD, CosN. — lohn (^oombs Is
packing his gripfor Buffalo. Inthemean-
time be is bustling up a block of new
bouses for carnations anil roses. His
right hand man, Larry, has not yet been
seen.
G. S. Osborn intends to join tbe ranks
of the Ornamentals. He is justly proud
of the fact that bis carnations during the
past season were uneiiualed in the Nut-
meg State. He is adding to his glass,
and expects to do as well another season.
SpniNGFiELD, Mass. — Mark Aitken is
hurrying along work on bis new houses
so as to be with the boys at the conven-
tion. Chr.vsanthemums areall planted —
thrifty stock. Frank Burfitt has estab-
lished a big reputation as a chrysanthe-
mum grower since he took charge of this
flourishing establishment.
L. U. Robinson, Jr., is well pleased
with the season's return, and is adding
BED OF CRIMSON RAMBLER ROSE, COVERING 1300 SQUARE FEET.
Exhibited at Pan-American Exposition by F. R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown, N.
simultaneously; in thiscase, the stamens
do not mature until after the pistils are
ripe. The florets of the ray, aud the tour
outer rows f>f tbe disc are pistillate, all
tbe inner florets being staminate. On
carefully dissecting a representative
flower, I found 2.''iti staminate and 142
pistillate florets. Pursuing my investi-
gations, I pollinated another flower,
using tbe regulation camel hair pencil,
still exercising care, and on examina-
tion under a compound microscope, using
tbe low power lens I found that 20 per
cent, of the pistils had not received a
grain of pollen. This reduces us to a very
slim working margin In trying to repro-
duce the gerbera. On the other hand. If
every pistil could besuccesstully fertilized,
we would not have much cause for com-
plaint. The moral to all this is that if
we expect to harvest a fair crop of seed
we must daily watch tbe development of
our flowers and resort to very careful
cross-fertilizing, for which this plant by
nature has been admirabl.y adapted. It
flowers very freely through the Summer
months, .simply reveling in the Intense heat
andsunshincand this is the time to get in
j'our good work.
We have been benefited by studying the
flowers, and have taken as higli as O-t
seeds from a pod, all of which freel.v ger-
minated. Did but the individual florets
Sheep manure is good, with a change off
to Peruvian guano.
It is now understood that the gerbera
Is not hardy, and the above notes are
meant for plants under glass. While It
can be grown in pots and planted out as
a Summer bedder, yet it suffers some-
what when lifted in tbe Fall. Strictly
speaking, It is a greenhouse plant here.
.Something has been said of its commer-
cial value as a cut flower. I would not
hesitate to take chances on that; but it
would not pa.y at carnation prices. I
Say say that while it is a continuous
oomer and never absolutely dormant,
the true growing period is through the
.Summer months, at which time it Is a
gioi-ious sight. The more beat and sun-
shine afforded, the more the plant grows
and flowers, and the more uniform the
blooms keep in color. In the Winter a
temperature of 70 to TTt degrees is need-
ed to keep It on tbe move good, but un-
fortunately, in dark weather, the color
varies quite considerably. Bed spiiler
and mildew are its two greatest enemies,
and in both cases prevention is; better
than cure; In the former a light spraying
of tobacco oil, and the latter dusting
■with sulphur about once a week^or as
tbe case may be, will keep things about
normal. C. H. Atkinb.

Heattributi'sniHch of his success attained

the leading lights of the profession at
these annual gatherings.
Providence, R. I.— George Johnson
expects to return from Manxland in time
for the convention, which welcome
news was transmitted to the club at tlie
last meeting. Secretary Rennie reported
progress In convention matters, and it
looks promising for quite a crowd bound
for Buffalo, including the Brotliers
Macrae, Michael Sweene.r, Rennie, .Miller,
Chappel, and last, but not least, Tom
Johnston. The writer was present at
this particular meeting, and was deepl.v
impressed with the fraternal feeling dis-
played. The members address each other
as brethren, and sink all rivalr.y for the
time being. Bro. Sweene.v fnrtushed the
cigars, which started Bro. Miller 011 the
subject of fumigation, and although tha
meeting broke up in smoke, Bro. Greeu
expressed the determination to carry os
the meetings through the Summer, to
continue the good work in which he i|
supported by all the faithful.

Pan-American Notes.
With good extent of recent rains, aj
skilled supplying of the requirements for-
developing growths, and a season of'
warm, fine growing weather, everything
in the outdoor Rose Garden is in good
condition in growth and beauty most
attractive, if not surprising. The cannas
showing the handsome and large flower-
ing new varieties will time themselves
right for their best at S. A. F. O. H. con-
vention time, three weeks later. The
lawns are tbe perfection of greenness.
A recent setting of tubs of Hydrangea
otaksa, as augmenting the bay trees
about the "Chariot Race" in F. R. Pier-
son Co.'s display adjoining the Women's
Building are in a bloom of growth and
flower heads and a becoming acquisition.
Among the collection of Japanese iris
in H. A. Dreer's exhibit before mentioned
a late bloomer now showing is O-torige,
a full petaled flower blue, shad ing to laven-
der toward center portions, the latter
itself white. Its freedom of bloom is so
conspicuous, too, as to specially com-
mend it as appearances go.
In Horticulture Building the same firm
has added more palms and ferns to their
already extensive showing, with an envi-
ous looking set of named fancy calaili-
ums, true specimens, in pots from S to
12 inches interspersed among them.
About 25 in number are here, with also
an added showing of a larger number ta-
bled in the south conservatory.
In the north conservator.v, Jas. Vick's
Sons have a tabled show of tuberous
begonias, about 100 in number. These,
in their comparative newness, are a
novel and pleasing attraction to the
masses.
With other newer minor additions in
showing, this structure now assumes a
better filled up and complete look.
The Landscape Portions.
This part in general may he called
so complete that little else than mainte-
nance is now necessar.v.
The large semi-circle shaped plat of
grass with a complicated series of beds
cut into it, aud which is located at south
end of the fountain basin, is now stocked
in the arabestjue portions with a large
variety of kindsof bedding stock in small
growing sorts. A little mixed in style
apparently, though in a sense a fairly
strong effect must he admitted.
-The box-hedged space settings on the
two sloping sides that flank the fountain
basin are now further embellished with
large specimen palms and blooming hy-
drangeas in tubs and boxes, and all of
which in this now finislied condition
sliow off well.
The two so-called ''sunken gardens"
and Italian garden embellishments bor-
dering, and in a two distinct parts, each
taking up goodly spaces on either side of
the open court, and encircled by the
groups of large buildings, now show re-
cent active work in Mr. Ulricb's depart-
ment. Much work and material and
bedding plant stock has been put into
these spaces, and which now wonderfully
help to complete a whole.

The Convention Hall directors have de-
cided to giveaflowersbowin (;onvention
Hall some time next Fall. Tbe date of
the show was not fixed, as it is desired
to hold it at a time that will not conflict
with the flower e.ihibits in eastern cities.
The KansasCit.v Show will be adisplay
of flowers ot all kinds, and entries will be
received from all parts of the United
States. The Convention Hall directors
will offer a generous list of cash prizes,
which, it is expected, will attract a hirge
number of exhibitors and insure a mag-
nificent display. It is tbe intention of the
directors to make the flower sliow a per-
manent annual feature.

Pan-American Displays.
The " t'liariot Raue," as you will see in
the illustration, is sun-oiineil by einht
sweet bays, four pyrami<l bays ami four
atanfiorils. Between them are some
smaller evergreens; also sunk in the
K'rass are eight very fine hydrangeas. It
is a fine piece of statuary, but., I believe, it
has been womlertnlly improved by being-
surrounded by these very fine trees; at
least, it is very much admired. It is the
first thing one sees as he enters the Elm-
wood Gate. In the background is the
Horticulture Building. These trees are
part of the exhibit of the F. R. I'ierson
Co. Mr. Pierson can be plainly seen in
the group.
The Crimson Rambler rose exhibit of
the same firm is worthy of a little de-
scription. The be<l covers an area of
1,300 square feet. In it were planted
500 Crimson Rambler, including about
25 standards three feet high. They did
not reach here until the 7th or Sth of
June, I'JOO. They were ver.v much dried
and shriveled up, and I had hard wiirk
getting them to make a start at all. I
had to cut them down to within an inch
of the ground. The quality of the ground
was the great factor in the success. It is
,1- strong, heavy cla.v loam. After the
plants were once induced to break the.v
were watered copiously every few days.
About all the beds in this region are over
a bed of loose clay which was hauled
there from the excavation of the Mirror
Lakes, so no amount of water could hurt.
Hythe middleof July the.y had sufficientl.v
started so that a heavy mulch could be
applied. There was no let-up in the iva-
tering until the end of August, when we
began to get freciuent rains. By that
time the bed was well covered with canes
four or five feet long. After the first hard
frost, about the first of December, the
canes were staked down close to the
ground and covered six inches deep with
helmock boughs. Not a twig was hurt
by the frosts of Winter. Earl.v in the
Spring the canes were tied to rods about
a foot from the ground, some horizon-
tally, some in the form of a bow aud
some raised perpendicularly, giving the
bed a more natural and pleasing appear-
ance. We have never seen such immense
trusses or such large individual flowers,
and from a careful estimate made the
day the photograph was taken, we be-
lieve there were about ;iOO,000 flowers
open.
We are asked repeatedly what we did
to keep off worms and aphis. There was

nothing done but iieavy s.yringing. The
[tlants were syringed so hard a few days
before the buds showed color, that there
was nt> possible show of any aphis re-
maining on them. Fortunately, this bed
was in the height of i>erfection on the 4tli
of July, when many thousands of visitors
were amazed at its brilliancy.

Spanish Iris at Pan-American.
The accompanying photograph of a
bed of Spanish iris is of one of a dozen
which flowered recently at the I'an-
American. About one-third of the bulbs
failed to bloom. This we believe was en-
tirely because they were planted so ver.v
late. The bulbs not arriving in this
country, they were not planted in the
ground until very near the end of Novem-
ber, and a very hard frost occurred short-
ly afterward. We believe the.v should be
planted if possible l)y the middle of Octo-
ber, when they willget wellrooted before
hard Winter sets in. They ma<le a beau-
tiful display. The colors were white, .vel
low and blue. There is no handsomer
Spring flower. The bulbs are very inex-
pensive and quite small, not larger than
a crocus bulb. The flowers are beautiful
in form, fantastic and orchid-like in
shape, aud the colors desirable. It seems
to me that large i|uantities of these
should be planted b.v all commercial flo-
rists who do a cut flower business, being
much prettier for cut flowers than either
tnlips or hyacinths. They areabsolutely
hardy, as was proven by us last Winter,
BED OP SPANISH IRIS.
One of a Dozen, Exhibited at Pan-Ameiican Exposition by Clucas & Boddington Co., New York City,
they being planted very late and in wet
soil and succeeded by a very hard Win-
ter. They flowered with us from the
middle to the 20th of June, making it
rather late to be succeeded by other Sum
nuT flowering plants, but we believe 1
planteil earlii-r they would have bloomed
earlier, or about the first week of .luue,
I think, when better known, this beauti-
ful flower will be grown most extensively,
for as a cut flower it is a great acfjuisi-
tion.
The bulbs were sent as an exhibit by
Cliicas & Boddington, of New York.

BRIEFS FOR BUSY FLORISTS.
Primulas. — Whether these plants have
been potted up singly in thumb pots, or
transplanted into seed pans, they should
nf>t be allowed to become cramped for
room at theirrootsbeff)re being repotted.
If the.v once become root-bound while in
the small stage, they receive a check that
takes several weeks to get over, and that
means just so much time lost. iJet the
lilaiits into ;5-iuch pots as socui us the
Toots have reached the sides of the pots
in which the.v are at present. .\ cool,
l»artiall.v shaded house or frame is the
best place tor them at this time of the
year.
Ci.NERARiAs are not such favorites as
they used to be, still we have to grow a
few" of them, and there is no place for
them like a framewitha northern aspect.
Supply several inches of ashes for the
))ots to stand on; besides making a good
bottom, the ashes are hard for snails to
travel over, conse()uently the plants can
be kept free of those pests. When potting
cinerarias always avoid using a fine soil,
or one that will pack easily. The best
soil is fibrous turf, if it can jje obtained,
with about one-fifth of well-rotted ma-
nure added. The pots must be well
drained; if a cineraria once gets water,
logged it is rarely any good afterwards.
Cytisus. — The plants that were re-
liotted and stood out-doors to make
their growth need to be cut hack a little
occasionally, so as to have them present
a nice even sliapc. IMenty of water with
an occasional syringing over-head is
about all that is otherwise needetl until
tinu; to take the plants indoors.
Lit. IKK. — Bulbs of l.llium Ilarrisli are
beginning to arrive, and they should be
l)otted immedlatel.v on receipt. It does
not much matter where they are kept for
the lirst week or two after they are
potted — uuder a bench in a cool house,
with the pots covered with hay. Is as
good a place as any. (iive one good wa-
tering before putting the hay over them
and they will hardly nee<l any more
water until growth starts and they are
put ou the benches.

Buffalo Florists' Club Prizes.
We present herewith iUuetratious of
the prizes (a cup and vaee) offereil by the
Buffalo Florists' Club for competitions
in plants and cut flowers at the coming
trade exhibition of the S. A. F. O. H.
The trophies are silver, gold lined, finely
moulded and ornamented, and stand H
and 22 inches high respectively. They
are also suitably engraved.
The object in offering these prizes is to
bring out as large exhibits of plants and
cut flowers as possible, and It is hoped
that the aim of the local club will he
realized.
The Trade Exhibit,
I inclose a list of exhibitors, and their
respective amounts of space to date.
Although the list should be longer by
this time, I think it represents the
general trade fairly well. It is still nearly
three weeks to the time of opening the
convention, and I expect from now on
applications will come in quite freely.
You will notice that several prominent
people \^ ho always show, are not yet list-
ed, but these we fully expect, as usual.
We all anticipate a great meeting this
year, and to see from twelve to fifteen
liundred florists would not be a surprise
to us. One thing is sure", new faces will

be the rule, and although the Pan-Ameri-
can will be a great drawing power, the
convention, and especially the trade exhi-
bition, will not lack visitors and atten-
dants. I honestly believethatmore busi-
ness will be done at this year's exhibition
than at any previous one. The shrewd
tradespeople know this, and a number
have already increased their space.

Trade News.
All the stores are quiet: nothing
but a little funeral work is going on.
The wholesale houses are also very quiet;
in fact, if an order does come in, it re
(juires some hustling around to get good
stock to HU it.
Wm. .J. Moore is receiving some very
good Kaiserin Augusta Victoria roses for
this time of year; these find ready sale
as good stock is scarce.
All the wholesalecommissionmen have
decided to close at 1 p.m. on .faturdavs,
from July 20 to August 31, inclusive. An
agreement to that effect has been signe<l
and an effort is now making to get the
retail florists to close also at 1 p. m.
Saturdays.
PennftylvADia Horticultural Society,
The regular monthly meeting of the
Pennsylvania Horticultural Society was
held on Tuesday last, and in spite of the
warm night there were 50 members pres-
ent. Some good exhibits of outdoor
grown cut flowers were made for the
prizes offered by Samuel T. Bodine, Esq.,
there being five entriesstaged of 15 vases
each. Francis Canning, gardener to
Samuel T. Bodine, Esq., was first; Wm.
Kleinheinz, gardener to P. A. B. Widener,
Esq., second; John McCleary, gardener
to Wm. Welghtman, Esq., third. There
was also fair competition for the Henry
A. Dreer and Henry F. Miehell prizes for
gloxinias,begonias and vegetables.
There is nothing new about transpor-
tation to Buffalo. Probably nothing will
be decided until the meeting of the club
on the 30th. Many of the bowlers ex-
press dissatisfa<-tion with the otlici.-il
program for the convention, in putting
off the bowling till Saturday.

Trade Conditlnnfl.
The weather here has been exception-
ally warm and stock has suffered consider-
ably. Most of the roses coming in are email
and generally poor; carnations are also
small. Sweet peas are good and plenti-
ful and with lilies and hardy perennials
provide about all the cut flowers wanted
here just now. it is almost impossible
to quote prices, for with a large quantity
of the stock offered the grower is lucky
if he is able to sell fit any figure. There
is a large quantity of the native white
water lily, N. odorata sold; they look
cool and fresh, ami as they are very cheap
they are popular.
News Jottings
There is talk of a cricket match
amongthe boys in the near future. Harry
nillemeuth, Dunlop's manager, is awa'v
tor his Summer holiilays. Tidy has just
returned from a two weeks' fishing trip,
looking much better for the outing.
.Several of the boys are talking of going
up to the London convention, and we
expect to have a good attendance.
Carnations and violets in the fields are
generally looking well, for although we
have had scorching weather, we have al-
so had some nice showers, and the ground
has never been really dry so far this sea-
son.
The beds of coleus planted out here are
only now beginning to look fairly well,
the rain and cold early in Juno having
given the plants a setback that was hard
to get over.
There is still a considerable quantity of
bedding stock around; but excepting for
cemetery or other special work the de-
mand had ceased. T. M.

Trade News.
Tliere has been little or no change
in liuBiness conditions the past weelc.
Trade is very quiet, and the marliot is
fairly well stocked with rather an inferior
grade of Howers, there being few really
choice lines to be had.
Z American Beauty and Queen of Edgely
roses hold on well, and Souvenir du
President Carnot are In good supply and
quality. Kaiserin Augusta Victoria,
however, are not so plentiful, though
son<e good ones are to be had. Bride
and Bridesmaid are still brouglit in, but,
as a. general rule, are poor, though of the
former there itre still a few fairly good
blooms.
Carnations continue in supply sufficient
to meet all demands, tliough there are
very few really good flowers. Whitecar-
uations are most largely call«!d for.
■Sweet peas, too, are plentiful, as is such
stock as gypsophila, achillea, etc. Lilies
are in good supply, but the demand is
not heavy nor very steady, the stock
being only used in funeral work.
Jottlnffi.
W. H. Elliott is bringing in Sou-
venir du President Carnot roses of very
good quality.
Thos. F. Galvin is renovating his Tre-
mont Street store. All the wall cases,
which aredisagreeble features of theolder
stores, have been torn out. Ground was
broken this week for the addition to his
conservatories in the Back Bay, which
will make them just double the size of the
present building.
The Waban Rose Conservatories have
constructed a cold blast refrigerator, 40
X HO feet, to take the place of the old ice
boxes.
Mrs. Warren Ewell, who has been very
dangerously ill for the past two weeks,
does not improve much, and it is regret-
ted that without a speedy recovery she
will be unable to take in the convention
this year. Of course,this,too, means that
our friend Warren, who has always been
the lite of the Boston party, and, in tact,
of the convention, will be unable to be
present. Roth Mr. and Mrs. Ewell have
been in almost constant attendance at
the conventions, and looked forward
with great pleasure to this year's.

Convention Progress.
A temperature inclined to quite
warm with us, has ruled for some days,
but with occasional showers reducing the
humidity. Matters of commerce and
barter are now decidedly quiet. Flowers
are not in any large quantity, but ample
for all neeils.
Interest, of course, is now most rite in
the special event of several weeks later,
the convention meeting. Club meetings
are now held regularly each Tuesday
night. The regular workers and some
new additions seem willing, and their in-
terest presages a fitting and satisfactory
outcome.
The latest developments plan an excurs-
ion to Niagara Falls tor the visiting
crowil on Friday, with the serving of a
standing lunch in Prospect Park. The
visiting ladies will be given a chance on
the first day to get a good " first impres-
sion" of the best beauties of our city
parks and residence avenues.
The actives in the local ranks are to
wear a distinctive and exclusive medall-
ion, silver bordered badge, which will de-
signate the wearer as a self-constituted
and everywhere found bureau of informa-
tion.
The exhibit space,ot which, fortunately,
there is still ample, is now being taken
up rapidly in large sections, and this fea-
ture in its extent and completeness should
be a magnet to many to attend the meet-
ing.
Accommodations can be secured on ad-
vance notice of the class desired being
sent to Hotel Committeeman W. A.
Adams, 479 Main Street.
Recent visitors included: Mr. and Mrs.
Harry Bayersdorter, of Philadelpia; W.
A.Wettlin, Hornellsville: E. C. Beatty,Oil

At the weekly show of the Horticultu-
ral Societ.y, Thursday, there were many
fine exhibits, notabl.y iris, roses, candidum
lilies, petunias and a few hydrangeas.
The weather for aweek has not been as
hot as formerly. ' J.

An Outing.
On .July 4, the Park Floral^lo. gave
another of their enjoyabk' iiiciiits to the
employes, their wives, cliilclrtni .tnd sweet-
hearts. Theday wassi)ent at River View,
a cosy quiet place in tlie mountains about
30 miles from Denver in Piatt Canon.
There were 68 in the party, which just
comfortably filled a special car. En route
we had music and songs. Mr. Clevy's rag
time selections on the accordeon made
the time go very pleasantly.
.\rriving at the grounds, we were a lit-
tle surprised to see a fine 100 yards' track
laid, all marked out and the strings up.
Even a " Duffy " wouldnot haveobjected
to running; but we didn't have one,
though those handicappers must have
thought so.
Mr. Valentine acted in the capacity of
starter; he likes that. There was no
kicking on the start: nobody beat the
gun. Billy Crowe sold pools on the dif-
ferent events. A list of the events and
winners follow^s:
Boys' race, 75 yards handicap, was
won by Ray App, off the three yards
mark, Harry Berry starting on the
scratch. For the men's 100-yard handi-
cap race there were 16 entries. John
Berry looked a winner all over after he
had won his heat, but Mr. Skid outlasted
him in the final and got the race by a
yard. Skid started on the 29 yards line
and Berry on the 32 yards.
The ladies' race was next. Miss Page,
last year's winner, did not enter, so the
race looked pretty open. They got
away, though badly scared, and I guess
the gun helped Miss Evans along, for she
won by a narrow margin. Mrs. Crowe
was the favorite in the pools tor this
race, but didn't know how to start and
woke up when she heard the gun — but
too late.
The peanut race ( ladies ) ended in a dead
heat'of three — Miss Evans,MisB Ensinger
and Mrs. Skid. The prize ;was a latania
palm. The ladies refused^to run again,
and that cost the firm three palms.
Geo. Plews was easily the best in the
sack race, and had a walk or rather a
jump over.
.\fter the games lunch was spread in
the pavilion. We were sorry to leave the
mountains so early, but our car was
hooked on again at 4:30, and we left
another pleasant daj' behind. It's to be
an annual event, and those that shared
in this picnic look forward to next year's.
Our best wishes to the Park Floral Co.

The Kalamazoo Nursery and Floral
Co., (W. C. Cook, manager), having

of the houses of the Dressel place in Chi-
cago, will commence the erection of three
houses on their place here at once. The
houses will be planted to carnations and
roses. It is understooilthe capital stock

stock Poor, Sopply Short.
Although the hike breezes for a few
days past liavo furnislieil us with souie
cooler weather, the previous protracted
hot spell has left a harrowing condition
as regards all kinds of flowers. Koses
are wretchedly small, and few of them
are around, while carnations have swung
from the great cuts of good flowers, for
the season, to the reverse. It is not that
there is much of a demand, but it is diffl-
cult to meet the existing call with flowers
worthy the name. So short is the sup-
ply that better values are obtained than
those ruling some time ago. Carnations
from the field are beginning to come in,
mostly Mrs. Fisher and Flora Hill in
white, witli .Mrs. Frances Joost in pink.
This week, so far, the Iwst have sold at
$1 toSL.'iO per 100. The plants in the
houses will hardly recuperate at this late
date, but 9eld grown stock will soou.be
plentiful. Rains are badly wanted, and
just as soon as showers bless us, housing
will begin. There are, liowever, very
heavy plantations of Summer bloomers
only, not Intended to be housed, or to be
gold from the grounds.
Some hollvhocks have appeared, the
whites being in demand at $1..%0 to $2
per 100. A few longiflorum lilies are
still coming in, also some L. auratum.
The best of the latter realize $1.50 per
dozen.
Sweet peas during the heated spell were
badly used up, but have now improved
somewhat, the best selling at 40c. to 60c.
per 100.
The retailers' windows mostl.v show
palms, ferns and the like, with a lew gla-
diolus spikes, Lilium auratum, etc.
There is scarcel.v any street trade now;
and funeral work creates about the only
steady demand.
Here and There.
Bassett &. Washburn have added by
purchase the five acres of land and green-
house plant of the Hindsdale Uose Co.,
adjoining their own large establishment.
The former was started by George W.
Miller in 1893, after the breakup of the
old Miller & Hunt place in this city. It
came into the hands of the Hindsdale
Rose Co. two or three vears ago. Its ac-
quisition will add 100,000 leet to the
Bassett & Washburn plant, giving tliem
a total of fully 600,000 feet of glass.
Tliey will put the newlv acquired place
in first-class condition at once. The
Kroeschell Bros, are making preparations
to see what boilers are wanted. The
new place will be used for young plants,
chrysanthemums and other specialties.
N. P. Miller, Wilmette, is planting all
his greenhouses to chrysanthemums.

modeling the plant later.

market with some splendid roses.
The grade of soft coal mostl.v used by
florists around Chicago is a trifle clieaper
than last year. Hard coal here is at
$6.80 per ton now.
N. N. Brun's lease, at 690 W. Van
Ruren Street, having expired, he has se-
cured a better location at l.-lOO W. Madi-
son Street.
F. Wienhoeberis putting in a new store

His son George seems to be <ivdte bu.s.v in

The retail florists seem to liavo entered
into the Daily Tribune'sefiortto awaken
an interest in gardening in this city, as
there are no fewer than 15 retail florists'

Club Picnic.
The social event of the .year was hehl
this year in most favorable weather. The
temperature was high up in the nineties
in the city, but down at Isle Gros Bois
a fine breeze blowing across the four or
five miles of river made the heat quite
endurable. The party this year was a
large one; counting the children, about
50(J took in the trip. The athletic events
were unusually well contested, three of
them espceially deserving mention, i. e.:
For members over 40, James McKeuna
ran a neck and neck race with W. Haezel,
only being beaten by a few inches. I'^or
members' wives, Mrs. Robinson and Mrs.
Jos. Bennett ran a tie, the run off also
being very close, Mrs. liobinson winning.
In the open race Frank Bennett made
sensational running, beating a party of
trained men by nearly 25 yards. Other
than children the winners were as follows:
Young ladies— Miss Glass, Miss Davis,
Miss Martin. Young men — W. Linton, G.
A. Robinson (not President Robinson).
Members' wives — Mrs. Robinson, Mrs.
Jos. Bennett, Mrs. Horobin. Members un-
der 40— G. A. Robinson, G. Vreugde, W.
C. Hall. Members over 40 — W. Haezel,
Jas. McKenna. Ladies' race, open — Miss
Martin, Miss Eva McKenna. Men's race,
open — Frank Bennett, Mr. Sykes. Quoits,
first game — Haezel, Foster, Layers; sec-
ond game. Smith, McKenna. Hop, step,
and jump — Robinson, Bennett. Bean guess
— Haezel, June, Miss Shepherd. Committee
walking race — McKenna, Hall. Cricket
match — J. Davis' team won by good
margin. Tug of war — I'^lorists beat pri-
vate gardeners.
A meeting of the members who are go-
ing to Buffalo was held on the home-
ward trip. List of names will be given
next week. B.

dispose of these nt the close of the Exposition, and will do so at a very reasonable figure.
We also offer fine stocks of
CRIMSON RAMBLER and HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES,

(CAPSICUM ANNUUM)
An Easily Grown, Quick Selling, Red Berried Plant for
CHRISTMAS SALES.
THE DEMAND for red berried plants tor holiday trade is always greater
than the supply. This Capsicum is undoubtedly the cheapest grown
as well as one oE the quiclsest selling red berried plants that we have.
It is extensively grown by the best growers of holiday plants, and finds a ready sale

We have prepared about 1000 selected plants which are now ready to shift into
4 inch pots {which if shifted into 6 inch pots about October 1st, will make fine,
shapely plants, 14 to 18 Inches high, and 14 incnes and upwards in diameter, pro-
fusely furnished with brilliant red berries by Christmas,) which we offer at $4.00
per 100 ; $35.00 per 1000. In order to get the best result from these they should be
ordered at once, so as to give them the first shift immediately.

European Notes.
The changes during the past weeli have
been very slight, but tlie tendency 's to
revert to drought and heat. .So far the
rains have been highly benelicial in Eng-
land and western France, but tliere are
places that have only had an occasional
slight shower for nearly seven weeks, and
as some of the most important crops of
rutabaga are in these districts we are
naturall.v somewhat anxious. In Ger
many and Holland the conditions are
distinctly favorable, but acreages are
small. In Italy and southern France the
heat is excesi.ive.
The report of the .Sweet Pea Bicen-
tenar.y is published at last; more on the
subject later.
Messrs. Lem W. Bowen and Tracy sail

W. A. Peterson, of P. .S. Peterson &

his Philadelphia friends last week, en
route to the New Jersey coast, at Island
Heights, where he usually spends a por-
tion of his vacation. Mr. Peterson has
faith in the future of the nursery business.
Good stock, of large size, is what his cus-
tomers want, he says, and for which they
are willing to pay good prices. Quite
large trees, with good roots, have paid
well. Mr. Peterson is a pitony enthusi-
ast, and speaks of the attraction his col-
lection was to visitors when the plants
were in l)loom.
Herbaceous Plants for Cut Flow-
ers.— Continuing the notes on tall-grow-
ing herbaceous plants, useful for cut
flower work, the following list is given
ofsomewhichareindowernow; Delphin-
ium formosum, 2 feet, blue; Rudbeckia
hirta, 18 inches, yellow; Callirhoe invo-
lucrata, 1 foot, rose; Platycodongrandi.
florum, 1 foot, blue; P. grandifloruni, 1
foot, white; Asclepias tuberosa,18 inches,
orange; A. decurabens, 1 foot, lemon;
Physostigma dentioulata, 2 feet, pink:
Achillea millitolium rubrum,18 inches, red ;
Lysimachia clethroides, 2 feet, white;
Henierocallis Sicboldi, 18 inches, yellow;
H. fulva plena, 2 feet, orange: Ilelenium
nudicaule, 2 feet, yellow ; Malva alcea,2 Va
feet, pink; Iris K.Tempteri, 2 feet, in varie-
ty; Lychnis clialcedonica, 18 inches,
scarlet; I.,obelia car(linalis,2 feet, scarlet;
L. syphilitica, 2 feet, blue; Monarda diil.y-
ma,18 inches, scarlet; M. purpurea, 2 feet,
purple; Centaurea amara, 2 feet, rose
purple; Tanacetum globiferum, 2 feet,
yellow. It is proper to sa.y that in the
case of callirhoe and Asclepias decuni bens,
it would be better to say length instead
of lieight, as both are of somewhat pro.s-
trate growth. Thecallirhoe is a particu-
larly beautiful and useful plant. A native
of the West, it thrives admirably here,
and blooms all Summer long. Most of
your reatiers know what mallows are,
and so will have an idea of the shape of
this flower when I say it belongs to the
n.'itural order Malvacea". I havedescribed
its color as rose; but it is so bright as to
be almost crimson. There are very few
perennials like it to give flowers the
whole season through. Its somewliat
prostrate growth enables it to cover
ground ([uickly. The Asclepias decum-
bens has been made a variety of A. tube
rosa b.v some botanists, but others think
it a good species. At any rate, it is
almost or i|"ite prostrate growing, lias
quite small foliage and lenujn coU)red
flowers, and though slutwing some char-
acter of the A. tuberosa,is a very different
thing.
liesides the flowers named as useful for
cutting, tliere are, of course, numerous
others frOm which individual blooms
could be procured, but those named ad-
mit of being cut with long stems.
Koelreuteria Panioulata. — To those
familiar with well planted lawns it is
known that hardly a month of Summer
is asdesti uteof trees and shrub in flower
as July. The flowering of all the early
Summer shrubs is over, leaving but some
of the later blooming spira'as, such as
tomentosa, S. Nobleana, .S. paniculata
ancl like kinds. Thccommon Hydrangea
paniculata — not grandiflora— flowers, so
doi's H. radiata and H. Thunbergii, and
there are other shrubs; but they are not
nearly in the number tliey were a month
earlier. It is because of this dearth of
bloom and the great beauty of the tree
itself that, as the Kielreuteria paniculata
flowers in mid July, it is so highly valued.
Japan is the home of this tree, and since
its introduction many years ago, other
handsome trees and shrubs have been
added; but none of the trees is more es-
teemed than this one. The flowers are
yellow, and come in large clusters, or
panicles, on the ends of the young-
branches, making a pleasing display, in
the midst of Summer. Hardl.y another
tree can be named as making a display
at the same time. The Catalpa speciosa
is i|uite out of flower then, and C. bigno-
nioidesends its blooming just as the k(el-
reuteria opens. After the flowers, come
bladder-like seed pods, containing seeds
about the size of peas, which, when ripe,
are almost the counterpart of those of
the canna. The seeds sown in Spring
grow readily. Though making but a
small sized tree as usuall.y seen, it does
not flower when of shrub size, as many
small growing trees do; but defers bloom-
ing until of about 10 feet in height. In
the first few years of its life from seed, it
is of irregular growth, giving but little
promise of the liandsome tree it becomes
latter on.
Double-Flowered Horse Chestnut,
— The large growth of horse chestnut
trees, their handsome foliage and grand
flower spikes, place them in the forefront
of desirable trees for planting. In early
Spring when the fresh foliage is well de-
velopetl there is no more handsome tree.
The common European horse chestnut,
hippocastauum, exists in some double
flowered forms; and these are very hand-
some and desirable. As is generally
known, double flowers are more lasting
than .single ernes, probably because of no
fertilizaticin taking place, owing to lack
of stamens. liesides the gain in the last-
ing of the flowers, thepanicles themselves
are very pretty. Nurserymen list a dou-
ble white and a double red variety.
To increase these double flowered sorts,
budding is usually resorted to, and in this
vicinity the month of .July finds the bark
of the stock in good condition for the
work. Another one usually iiirreased in
the same way is H. rubiciinda, tlie red
flowered horse chestnut. 'I'liis lovi'ly sort
can be raised from seeds; but to get seeds
from a tree of it is quite uncommon.

Nothing but Heat.
Wo are getting our share of the hot-
test July weather ever experienced; it is
not only hot, and at times sultry, but
the dry, hot winds come up nearly every
day and absorb what moisture is left,
also blowing away the rain clouds. Of
course, we are thankful in this neighbor-
hood tor a hard rain right on our outing
da.v, but its effects are already gone, and
the weather is becoming drier than ever.
^A'e must have a good general rain and
cooler weather to recuperate vegetation,
man and beast.
In spite of the unfavorable conditions,
flowers are getting a. little more plentiful.
.Vsters and gladiolus are coming in, in
fairly good condition. Sweet peas are
gone, in some soils, while in others good
(lowers are cut yet. Roses are getting a
little better, while carnations are very
small. Several weddings and many
funerals have kept business going some-
what; altogether it is dull.
An Enjoyable Affair.
On the evening of July 10, between
35 and 40 florists of this vicinity accept-
ed the invitation of Mr. Albin Schreiber
to spend an enjoyable evening with him
at his home. It was discovered that he
was celebrating his tenth wedding anni-
versary, and a committee was selected to
present him with a suitable gift. In
addition, most of those attending went
supplied with all kinds of tin ware. Mr.
and Mrs. Schreiber in their spacious
home and grounds, had a grand layout
prepared, with refreshments, and a
most pleasant evening was spent. In a
neat speech Mr. Sclireiber explained the
purpose of the gathering; he not only
wanted to entertain his fellow members
once, but also tocelebrate his tenth wed-
ding anniversary and also the anniver-
sary of his being connected witli the firm
of Bertermann Bros, for 15 years. Man.y
complimentary speeches were made, also
some very humorous ones. We wish
the couple many happy returns of the
day.
The Annual Oating:.
The annual outing of the Florists'
Club was held, according to invitation,
on July 17. The day started in threat-
ening for rain, but it cleared and got ex-
ces8ivel.y hot; toward evening a hard
storm eameup with a welcome rain. The
rain was, of course, much needed, and
very little complaint was heard that it
had spoiled our bestfun. The outing was
held at Spring Lake Park, a small lake
resort. A vaudeville show and other
amusements were provided. Football
and baseball exercises were freely in-
dulged in until the storm stopped all.
Between 60 and 70 men, women and
children attended, and in spite of the
heat and, later the storm, all enjoyed them-
selves splendidly. Many returned home
for supper, but some staid until late in
the evening, when everything was beau-
tifully illuminated. A theater perform-
ance closed the day's enjoyment.

NOTES BY THE WHY.
Utica, N. Y.— Convention talk and tlie
heat form the chief topics just now. C.
F. Seltzer expects to join tlie delegation
from New York. He has planted a bed
of Marie Louise violets, inteuding to give
the variety another trial. Formerl.v he
was one of the most successful violet
growers in this neighborhood, but slipped
up two .vears since and grew none last
season. Carnation Oneida is with him
the best variety at this time.
Frank Baker will be with the crowd if
he can get his stock of ferns potted up in
time. Wm. Mathews may exhibit some
of his grand cattleyas,to .show what can
be done with this profitable orchid.
LiTTE Falls, N. Y.— J. O. Graham
was a visitor to W.W.Coles at Kokomo re-
cently, taking in the Pan-American en
route homeward. He reports a busy
season, and is planting out beds at this
late date.
Amsterdam, N. Y.— John Hatcher will
be at Buffalo; he is one of the regulars,
and is greatly interested in the future of
the S. A. F. O. H. A most satisfactory
season both in seed and plant business is
reported.
Albany, N. Y.— John Dingwall feels
good over the season's business, and ex-
pects to join the New Yorkers for the con-
vention.
George Sambrook, Jr., has just re-
turned from visiting the Pan-American
and says those who fail to go there will
not know what they have missed.
H. G. Eyres is going, and Fred A. Dan-
ker will give his views on decorating as
a, modern art.
Fred GoUlring has things in good shape
at Slingerlands. He has abandoned vio-
lets tor carnations and roses for which
the demand is much more satlsfactor.v.
He has a novelty in a variegated .\rdisia
crenulata which sported here, and comes
true from seed. It will undoubtedly be
one of the striking commercial novelties
of the future.
Glen Falls, N. Y.— H. L. Crandall is
in Chicago, where he may join the crowd
for the convention.
Saratoga Springs, N. Y.— T. J.Totten
has increased the size of his plant by the
addition of one house, 400 feet, for Ameri-
can Beauty roses. He Intends attending
the convention. It 'tis only to learn how
to keep down red spider on violets this
hot spell.
Montreal.— The crowd from this city
will not be large, as the season, being
late, threw many behind. Joseph Ben-
nett is building as fast as he can get ma-
terial. S. S. Bain is resting after a very
busy season. Miss Murray sails for
Kurope on the 27th. B. T. Graves, with
J. McKenna, ma.v join the ranks of the
Londoners from Ontario.
St. Albans, Vt. — George Cooke is
busily engaged laying out a large place
tor the governor of this State, some dis-
tance north ot Ottawa, Canada. Another
instance ot the aggressive nature even of
the Yankee florist.
Burlington, Vt.— John Wilson has
some matter tor the question box at the
convention, so will be along accompa-
nied by Mrs. Wilson.
Concord, N. H. — W. Gordon, who has
tor some years had charge of the grounds
at the State Hospital, Intends resigning
that position to take hold of the W. L.
Wilson place which he purchased some
time since.
Manchester, N. H.— A. G. Hood is
making rapid progress with his new
plant, which tor the present will consist
of three houses, each 200 x 30 feet, and
three, each 200 x 20 feet, with sheds and
office. He has a fine piece ot land, some
ten acres in extent. W. M.
Louisville, Ky.
Since .luue 22, there have been onl.v
tour days when the temperature did not
register 90 degrees or better: and with
this long stretch of unusuall.v wnrm
weather we have had so little rain that
it was hardly noticeable. From the fore-
going you can judge ot the condition of
the stock received here at the present
time. Even with the small supply, busi-
ness has held up better than expected at
this season ot the year.
Am proud to say that the Buffalo con-
vention will be, from present indications,
better represented by Louisville florists
than any previous one. J. S.

I St. Paul.
Pin Torrldity'd Grij*.
1; St. Paul, in coniinou "With the rest
fotthe country, has been in the grip of
the torrid wave for the past ten clays. It
is'not necessary for me to say that under
the circumstances trade has been very
(hill. Blooms are pinched by the extreme
heat, and good stock cannot be had,
though somefairly good Kaiserin Augus-
ta Victoria and Meteor roses are being
cut.
A reasonable amount of funeral work
has kept business alive.
A Picnic.
I The Twin City florists picnicked at
'Wildwood, White Bear Lake, July 10.
I Florists and families and friends to the
' number of 300 had a most enjoyable
time, and everybody went home refreshed
and reinvigorated witli pleasant recollec-
tions of a day happib' spent. The pro-
gram of sports, under the direction of
Messrs. Nagel and .Swanson, was most
ably carried out. St. Paul was the winner
in tlie baseball game and carried off the
majority of the honors in the other
events. In the bowling match, which
had to be played in the city, Minneapolis
won all the prizes. Itmightbe pertinent
to ask Minneapolis bowlers why they
allow a professional man, an attorney,
a place on their team ? Their rules should
be amended to exclude all not directly
engaged in or connected with the florist
business.
Seasonable Work.
The growers are busily engaged in
planting their houses. With the mercury
from 110 to l.'HO under the glass, it has
been hard to keep at the work. Liberty
rose is being planted more extensively
than last year, and Meteor less. Brides-
maid and Bride, and American Beauty In
about the same numbers, while Perle
des Jardins is being discarded. The next
field for the rosarian is to produce a
good yellow forcing rose, as there is al-
ways a demand for such an article.
Carnations in the field have made a
good growth. Some of the growers will
begin lifting soon, as early planting
seems to be recommended by many of the
best carnationists.
Jottlng^s.
E. F. Lemke is rebuilding his range
of old houses on Hague Avenue, and atld-
ing some new ones.
H.J. Puvogel has torn down his houses
which were located on rented ground,
and will rebuild on his own property on
Grand Avenue.
Wm. Strehlow has vacated the houses
which he rented from H. .Schults, on
Grand Avenue, but has not decided on fu-
ture operations.
Dr. R. Schiffmann, our local orchidist,
recently received from the Philippines, a
collection of phalienopsis, dendrobium,
etc., numbering over 300, all of which
came through in fine shape. These, with
the large collection which he previously
possessed, gives him one of the largest
and l)est collections in the country.
P. Malino, of Seattle, and U. P. Hauser,
of San Antonio, were recent callers. Both
report trade in their respective locations
in a prosperous condition. Veritas.
Rochester, N. Y.
The Barry gohl medal, value $50,
established b.y Patrick Barry, for so many
years president of the Western New York
Horticultural Society, hns been awarded
by the Executive Committee of this asso-
ciation to Charles C. Hooker, of this city.
The conilitiona named by this society are
that the medal shall go to "the origin-
ator or o%vner of any new fruit or orna-
mental tree, shrub, flowering plant or
vegetable which shall be considered
worthy of it." The Executive Committee
requires a three years' test to establish a
claim of merit worthy of the medal. Mr.
Hooker submitted a new red currant
named " Perfection. ' It originated from
the seed of Fay's Prolific, crossed with
the White Grape, and itcombines the mild
and rich qualities of the latter with the
size and appearance of tlie former, Ijut
yields a larger bunch and is more prolific
than Fay. This is the lirst Barry medal
awarded, and Mr. Hooker is really proud
of it. C. P. W.

23, ''00 flower buyers, together with the good will of our large retail shlpi>lng business, built
up through many years of honest endeavor to please our patrons, and liberal advertiHlng.
The season just closed has brought ue the largest amount of orders and been the mostprofit-
able of any since the business was established In 18G6, and we have many p.atrons who have
dealt with us for more than a quarter of a century. Our mailing list and the good wlH of

f G. Nicholson, curator of the Royal Gar-
dens, Kew, England, is to retire from
that position on account ot failing health.
It is understood that W. Watson will suc-
ceed him.
Miss p. A. Ormerod, the well-known
English entomologist, died at lier home
at St. Albans, Friday, July 19. She was
the authoress of several books on insects,
held important positions as a lecturer
and examinerin entomology, and was the
first woman on whom tbe University of
Edinburgh, Scotland, conferred the degree
of LL. D. Among the latest ot her many
honors was that of V. M, H.
Edible and Sweet Peas.
Another Massachusetts divine has be-
come an enthusiast in pea culture, and
an exponent of information concerning it.
He this year has tested ,50 sorts of edible
peas, and 300 of sweet peasin his"Eden"
trial grounds. The experimenter is the
Rev. J. Re.vnard Lawrence, of Lanesboro,
Mass., and he writes on the subject as
follows to the New England Farmer:
"A soil in good heart, which was used
for corn last year, has been taken for this
year's trials. Plowed seven inches deep
and thoroughly harrowed, it was then
furrowed to a depth of six inches. Seed
was dropped at the rate of a quart to
100 feet of drill for the edible sorts, and
two ounces to 100 feet for the flowering
varieties. Closer planting is not only un-
necessary but is unsatisfactory also.
" .Seeds are then covered to a depth of
two inches with a hoe and pressed firmly
by walking on the furrow. As the vines
grow the soil ia drawn up to them with
a strong, stiff iron garden rake, which is
the first thing used, by the way, to kill
the weeds. When vines are six inches
high they are brushed, preferably with
good white birch, and all varieties are
brushed, even the very dwarf sorts, as
they do better for the brushing.
"At the next cultivation an application
of 500 to 600 pounds of fertilizer contain-
ing 8 or 10 per cent, of phosphoric acid
and 8 percent, of potash is given per acre.
No nitrogen is needed by edible peas
where the land is in good heart, but
when buds begin to show on sweet peas
one dressing is given the vines ot nitrate
of soda at the rate of 200 pounds per
acre. Phosphoric acid will force peas to
maturit.v and potash will give them
quality and yield.
" The garden peas will now take care
of themselves until all are gathered, but
the work on sweet peas has just begun.
Flowers are picked as fast as two blooms
per stem are opened wide, effort being
made to keep the vines cleanly picked in
this manner. About the middle to the
latter part of August the vines are cut
back and cut rigorously. New branches
start, a second application ot nitrate 01
soda, one-half the amount first used is
made, and the vines seem to take a new
lease of life and bloom on until frost kills
them. Vines treated to this cutting pro-
cess do not deteriorate, but produce
blooms as fine as any at any period of
growth.
" Nine rows of sweet peas (.TO feet long),
are being grown to furnish a test of fertil-
izers, nine different sorts being used, a
different sort for each and every row, a
10th row unfertilized, furnishing basisfor
comparison. An 11th row has been
given a complete pea fertilizer. A 12th
row has been treated by soil innocula^
tion with nitrogen, as has one row ot
garden peas, obtained irom Prof. William
Brooks of Amherst."

late Robert Revell, Esq., of Norwich,
England. She was 41 years of age, and
leaves twochildren,both girls, one about

has the heartfelt sympathy ot all in his
sad bereavement.
Charles W. White.
Charles W. White died Wednesday, July
17, at his home in Rochester, N. Y:
He was born February 20, 1828, at
Longridge, Conn., and was therefore 73
.years of age at his death. He came to
Rochester in 1874 from Illinois, having
gone there from Otsego county, where he
resided for a time. On coming to Roches-
ter he engaged in the florist business with
his brother, John White, and the firm
was known as White Brothers.
On account of ill-health Mr. White re-
tired eight years ago from active busi-
ness. Since that time he had been a crip-
ple from rheumatism and most of the
time an invalid. A widow survives him,
also two brothers, one of whom is Albert
E. White, ot the D. M. Ferry Seed Com-
pany, Detroit.
New York.
The Market.
Business conditions in this market
have taken a complete change, and, in-
stead of having to report the usual glut,
we find flowers scarce with a good de-
mand. The supply of roses is extremely
light; particularly does this apply to
special grades. Dealers who are fortu-
nate enough to receive good roses find
no trouble in clearing them out early,
and at good figures.
Carnations are also selling lively, and
the prices are somewhatstitfer than they
were a week ago. Mrs. Thomas W. Law-
son and Prosperity are bringing $4 per
100, but the supply of these varieties
is only limited. Lily ot the valley is mov-
ing very well, and from $3 to $4 per 100
is the ruling figure, a few spikes of special
qualit.v realizing $5 per 100.
Cattleyas are quite scarce, and, when
obtainable, the blooms of C. gigas have
fetched 75c. each.
Asters are not ot as good quality as
they usually are by this time of the year;
good, long stemmed flowers are tew in
number and bring $4 per 100. There are
plenty of interior asters around that
realize only a nominal price. Gladiolus
are becoming plentiful, and for ordinary
sorts SI per 100 can only be realized;
the finer colored sorts are fetching in the
neighborhood of $3 per 100.
Lilium auratuin seem to have been
grown more extensively this Summer
than heretofore, and they meet with fair
demand at $4 per 100.
Among: the Retailers.
There is quite a good deal ot busi-
ness doing, chiefly funeral work, though
ocasionall.v a good steamer order has to
be filled. A difBcutly is experienced at
times in finding a supply of the higher
grades of cut flowers.

THE CONVENTION CITY
A BIT OF HISTORY.
Among tbe many thriving cities in the
Unitetl States tliere is, perhaps, none
whose liistory records more rapid ijrn-
gress and development than the beautiful
" Queen City of the Lakes." A little more
than a century ago most of the territory
over wliich the city extemls was the habi-
tation andhunting griMindsof the Seneca
Indians, the Htrongi'st liranch of the Iro-
quois trine, tlie memory of whose great
and good Chief, " Red .Tacket," has been
perpetuated by an elegant monument
erected in Forest Lawn Cemetery, and
whose humane deeds are known to every
American school bo.v, although the In-
dian name Cibola, for Buffalo, has long
since passed into oblivion. " Lovers of
modern sport" says A. B. Floyd, in his in-
teresting little work "Ins and Outs of
Buffalo," "may feel a friendly interest
towards the Seneca Indians, when in-
formed that according to the best records
of tlieir history which have been pre-
served, a war which ended in the expul-
sion of the Erics from the territory west
of the Genesee River, about the year 1G54,
originated in a breach of faith on the part
of the latter tribe in a ball gameto which
they had challenged the Senecas. Un-
fortunately, there is no ' score card ' of
the game, and thus we may never know
whether there was any umpire or not.
and, if so, whether he was smitten with
a ball, bat, or a war club, or cleft with a
tomahawk, or merely transfixed with a
flight of arrows." Herein, probably, we
have the origin of the love of the denizens
of the Pan-.\merican city for the national
game.
The initiatory move in the founding of
Buffalo was made in 1801, when .loseph
Ellicott, surveyor for the Holland Land
Company, the owners of a large tract of
territory in Western New York, estab-
lished a' settlement, giving to it the name
of " New .Amsterdam," which title, how-
ever, was not a popular one, being finally
abandoned and lUiffalo substituted in-
stead. The city was incorporated in
1876.
The wonderful growth of the city, aided
by its favored location for rail (30 rail-
roads now centering here) and water
transportation (a, fleet of 288 steamers,
owned by about 20 transportation com-
panies, ply, in season, between Buffalo
and all the principal iiorts on the great
Lakes and canals), can be gleaneil from
the statement that in 178!) the popula-
tion,according to the best records obtain-
able, consisted of "one white man;" in
1812 it had risen to 1,500: in 1800 to
81,000, and the last census puts it at
:!.')2,.'i87, the latest computation in the
city directory giving the results at
400,000.
Buffalo is a modern city in every aspect
Implied by that term. Itsclimate in Sum-
-^•^ — .w, — .w^
mer is very agreeable, the extreme tem-
perature of 80 degrees being rarely ex-
ceeded. Unexcelled street railway facili-
ties are afforded for getting about within
the city proper and reaching remote
points and pleasure resorts, the motive
power being tieveloped by the great Ni-
agara. Railway lines radiate in every
direction, and there is not a part of the
city's 42 square miles of territory that
cannot be reached within30minutes from
the business district.

FORMER CONVENTIONS.
The florists of America have already on
several occasions experienced the great
adaptability of Buffahj as a convention
<'ity. and are familiar with the unbound-
ed hospitality of the members of the
resident craft. Here in 1889 the S A. F.
met under the leadership of President
John N. May, of Summit, N. J. The
American Carnation Society held its first
annual meeting here in 1889, and again
its ninth annual gathering in 1900. It
was in Buffalo that the American Chrys-
thanemum Society was born.
THE PARK SYSTEM.
Like other progressive cities having an
interest in the welfare of their citizens,
Buffalo has an admirable pa,rk system.
About 30 years ago an act of legislature
was passed authorizing the selection and
location of certain grounds for public
parks in the city, and creating a board of
commissioners to carry out the purposes
of the act. Up to the first of January,
1900, the city has acquired l,0().'j acres
of land which Is now represented by
seven parks, 19 miles of park driveways
and other numerous minor places such
as squares and triangles. The largest
and most beautiful of all the parks is
Delaware Park, situated at the northern
end of the city, in pro.ximity to, in fact,
forming part of, the grounds of the Pan-
American. It has an area of 362 acres,
229 of which are devoted to driving-
roads, meadow, picnic and excursion
grounds, the remaining 133 consisting of
an ornamental water piece or lake. The
natural beauty of this park is hardly
paralleled in America. In proof of this
statement it need only be mentioned that
for years this park was under the care of
the'late lamented Wm. Macmillan, that
doughty champion of the natural in land-
scape work, whose opinionsthereon have
been conserved by his successor. South
Park, situated in the southern part of
the city, is next in size, with loo acres.
The principal feature here is the fine bo-
tanical garden, of which a description is
given further on in this article. The gar-
den is connected by a handsome park-
way with Cazenoviaand Heacock Parks.
The former consists of 70 acres, and is
located on Abbott Road. Other Buffalo
Parks are: " The Front,'' embracing -18
acres; Humboldt Park, 56 acres, a feat-
ure of which is the wading pond, a large
basin of water, about .550 feet in diame-
ter, having a sandy bottom, graduated
from a few inches deep at the edge to
three feet in the center. Here the children
are permitted to wade to their hearts'
content. Riverside Park is on the banks
of the Niagara river at the northern
boundary of the city, and comprises some
23 acres.
Some beautiful cemeteries are also to
be found in Buffalo, among them Forest
Lawn before referred to as containing the
bronze statue of the Indian f^^hief " Red
Jacket "and Holy Cross Cemetery, situat-

West Seneca.
THE BOTANIC GARDEN.
.An interesing article was recently con-
tributed by Professor John F. Cowell,
Director of the Botanic (rarden, to the
Journal of the New York Botanical Gar-
den, giving a full account of the Buffalo
institution. We quote Mr. Cowell's re-
marks as follows:
The Buffalo P.otnnic Garden is an insti-
tution cre.i ted Ipy the Park Commission
of the City of Buffalo, N. Y., under power
granted in the charter. The Garden is
therefore a part of the park system of
the city, and is supported, as are the
other parts of the system, by annual ap-
propriations made by the Common Coun-
cil. It has no other resources and for
many things it has at present to rely on
the generosity of its friends.
The ground devoted to the use of the
Garden comprises the w'hole of ''South
Park," a tract of 155 acres.
The work of preparing the ground for
its present purposes began in 1S95, and
in that .vear a small section was planted.
The work has been continued from year
to year and about four-fifths of the work
is now completed.
The l)uildings so far erected con-
sist of two groups of horticultural
structures, a small office and mu-
seum, a dwelling for the director,
with stable, tool houses and other
offices.
The main group of horticultural
buildings in its present condition
is made up of 11 houses arranged
to form a quadrangle and cover
used for propagation and experimenta-
tion. Attached to this group is a very
complete "frame yard," with hot beds,
cold frames and storage pits and cellars.
The herbarium is housed in a building
erected in 1895 for office purposes, and
at the present rate of increase it will soon
outgrow its accommodations. Here also
are located the library, seed room and va^
rious collections.
The collection of living species now
maintained here is probably the largest
in this country.
The existence of this Botanic Garden is
due to the energy and foi'esight of the
Inte David F. Day. When the act incor-
porating the Park Department was
drawn. Judge Day was city attorney,
and he provided, in the act, for the ac-
(juirement of both botanical and zoologi-
cal collections. Twenty-five years later,
as a I'ark Commissioner, he brought
about the establishment of these collec-
tions, an<l to the time of his death he
was an ardent supporter of the Garden.
To him is due not only the inception of
the work, but also in a great degree the
rapid advance that has been made in its
development.
Just previous to Mr. Day's death he
was preparing to transfer to the Garden
his library, herbarium and collections of
living plants. His library contains many
rare works, for he was a book lover as
well as a book buyer. His herbarium,
while not large, was very complete as
regards the local flora, and his living
plants were of great interest and con-
tained many rare forms and probably
several unnamed species.
His wishes, in regard to his botanical
material, are now being carried out by
his children, and hereafter the herbarium

The second group consists of
seven houses containing about
11,000 feet of glass. These houses
are of various forms and sizes and

"Day Herbarium."
In an institution of this kind of course
the main benefits accrue to the citizens of
Buffalo, as is iust and proper, and the
educational as well as the recreative plan
is intended for them. But in most de-
partments the Garden is free to all the
world. Its c<)Ilections are open to all
comers, anti its officers give all the assist-
ance in their . power to the student,

I THE PAIN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION I
ORIGIN OF THE EXPOSITION.
In 1S9S tlie tirst tlioiiKlit of a I'an-
American l^xposition cu-iginatetl witii
some men who owned an island in Ni-
agara River, and President McKinley
came and drove in a stalce wliere tlie first
building wa.s to be erected. On the break-
ing out of the Spanish-American War tlie
proj"Ct wa,s temporarily abandoned,
and for a year or more was quite lost
eight of. Early in the Spring of 1899, a
Front, facing the Lake; other sites were
advanced, but the one chosen is consid-
ered the correct one, as it has the great
advantage of taking in ino acres of the
city's beautful park system.
A creditable feature connected with
this great enterprise is that it has been
achieved solely by Buffalo men; no out-
side help has been given. The money
appropriated by the State of New York
has been expended on a magnificent mar-
ble building, which is within the bounda-
public tiinner was held in the Iroquois
Hotel to start again the Pan-rtUierican,
but.not with an idea that it would go
down the river so far from liuffalo city.
Nearly half a million dollars was sub-
scribed. Witiiin a month a million and a
half dollars was raised by subscription.
Tlie United States (iovernment subscribed
lialf a million ilollars, and New York
State $:!0n,(i0(i. The balance of the
money has been supplied liy the issuance
of bonds.
An unusually long period elapsed before
the site could be decided upon. Man.v
wanted to go to what is known as the
ries of the I'an-.Vmerican, aud at the close
of the E.xpositiou will revert to the city
and lie pre.seuted to the Ilnffalo Histori-
cal Societ.v. The half million dollars
given by the national Government has
been expendeil by it on a magnificent
building ami exhibit.
OBJECT AND COST.
The ran-.\mericau I'2xpositionlias been
instituteil "to illustrate progress during
tlie century just closed and lay a strong
and enduring foundation for interna-
tional, commercial and social unity in
the New Worhl." The cost of the Expo-
sition is stated at $10,000,000. Tlie dis-
play is thoroughly typical of the name
"Pan-American," all the Americas being
represented by exhibits, as well :is Cuba,
Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the I'uilipiiiiies.
The site of the Exposition covers sonif
S.'iO acres in the northern pnrt of the city
of Buffalo, including i;i:i acres of beauti
ful park lands and lakes.
To the florist the landscape and horti-
cultural features of the Exposition are, of
course, of the greatest interest; yet no

menilier of tlie craft can fail to be im-
pressed with the architectural Jbeauty of
the structures, the charming an<l harmoni-
ous color schemes employed in the deco-
ration of these, from which has sprung
the expressive cognomen " Rainbow
City ; " and above all the surpassing elec-
trical display made possible by the prox-
imity of the great Niagara. The center-
piece of the Exposition is an electric tower
409 feet in height, upon and around
which more than 40,000 lamps, and a
search light with a ;iO inch projector, ca-
pable of casting rays for a distance of .'iO
miles, is used in the illumination.
The principal florist anil nursery flrnis
of the United .States and t'anada, are all
participants in the exhibits forming the
outside adornment of the grounds, and
the masterful arrangenieut of the pi'o-
ducts of g,Trden,greciiliouse, and nursery
constitute a most beautiful setting for
the buildings, proving at the same time
one of, if not, the greatest attractions of
the entire Exposition. Notes on the hor-
ticultural subjects exhibited have ap-
peared in our columns regularly since the
opening of the Exptisition, and these will
be continued until its close.
THE HORTICULTURE BUILDING.
Horticultural exhibits at Buffalo have
a beautiful setting in and about an ex-
ceedingly handsi^ime building 220 foet
square. The height of the building is 2'Mi
feet to the top of the lantern, aud the
general proportions are of conimauding
grandeur. Situated in a position of great
prominence on the western side of the
grounds, the approach from the east is
through the esiilaiiade, past the basins
of aiiuatic pl.'ints, the fountains and the
great urns containing beautiful tropiral
foliage effects: up the curved incline,
which is bordered by ninny varieties of
trees and shrubs, to the magniflcent
doorway seen in tlie accompanying illus-
tration. Probably no horticultural ex-
hibit has ever had such elegant and ap-
propriate surroundings and no former
disitlay has been so well worthy of it.
The Horticulture Building is connected
by semi-circular conservatories with the
Grai>hic .Arts Building to the north aud
the Mining Building to the south. These
conservatories are themselves very beau-
tiful architectural features of the Exposi-
tion and the line displa.,vs in them en-
hance tlieir attractions to visitors. They
connect the three buildings in this group,

having tlieir own individual style and
tlieir exhibits of entirely different charac-
ter. Tliecourt upon which the three build-
ings of the group face contain? one of the
superb esplanade fountains, the " Foun-
tain of Seasons."
In addition to the permanent horticul-
tural displays, special exhibitions have
been held from time to time, including
those of carnations, tender roses, pi^o-
nies, hardy roses and sweet ppas. During
Convention week a display of gladiolus
will form the principal special exhibit;
to be followed b.v asters, August 27 to
September 7: dahlias, September 17 to
27; and chrysanthemums, October 22 to
October 31. The northern conservatory,
in which the late exhibitions will take
place, is light and commodious, without
the direct rays of the sun.
VISITING THE EXPOSITION.
A Brief Summary of What
One Should Take Along.
There is no place in the world wliere
common sense, good temper and c<inrtid-
eration for others are moredesiralde than
at a big Exposition, where there are all
kinds of people and all sorts of grievances
to be met. In going to the Pan-Ameri-
can, be sure to take with you not only a
trunk and a large grip with plenty of
changes of clothing for a long stay Jind
all kinds of weather, but also pack up
several pounds of common sense and all
the good humor you think you will need
for the period of your trip. Do not tor-
get to be reasonable, and do not imagine
that somebod.y is trying to "do" you
at every stage of the game. Do not ex-
pect a $10 suite of rooms with private
bath and telephone in your room and all
the other luxuries which go with these
accessories for 50c. or 75c., a day, includ-
ing meals and cigars.
The enjoyment of the Exposition is
largely a matter of impressions. The
creators of the Pan-.\mericnn have done
everything possible to make the impres-
sions received by tlie visitor as pleasura-
ble as can be produced through the aid
of the greatest men and women of the
age in the respective Held of architecture,
painting, sculpture, science, landscape
gardening, and electrical engineering. Yet
there are always fault finders, and those
who come to the Pan-American make
themselves heard, .although their number
is few in comparison with the visitors
who return entliusiastic over their stay.
For instance, take the matter of prices
for accommodations in Buffalo during
the Fxposition season. .Some people
think because it is possible to go to one
or two of the highest priced hotels and
pay fancy prices forprincely accommoda-
tions, that the same sort of rates prevail
generally. This idea should be dtssipated.
As X have remarked, if you are deter-
mined to have Waldorf-Astoria accom-
modations, you must expect to pay Wal-
dorf-Astoria prices. However, if you are
satisfied with accommodations possess-
ing merely the comforts and conveniences
of home, not the luxuries of a Vanderbilt
mtLUSion, tliere is no occasion for ,vour re-
turning liankrupt from the Pan-American.
One of Buffalo's prettiest sections is the
Elmwood district. It is a section In
which few of the houses are more than
10 years old, most perhaps not more
than a half dozen years old. Everything
is new and up to date, and youcan travel
far and wide without finding a prettier
section. Ordinarily there are few board-
ing houses in this district. This Summer
it abounds in temporary hotels, many of
them apartment houses of brick and
stoTic, well built and fitted up for this
Suninier only as hotels. Besides these
liotels, the majorit.vof the private houses
are now rooming iKJUses. Broad lawns
surround most of them and there are
vine-covered verandas and other attrac-
tive surroundings of a well-kept home.
In these houses good rooms are ordinarily
obtained for $1 per night. Breakfast is
usually served, if desired, at 25c., 35c.
and 50c. Sometimes lower rates than
$1 per night may be found, but this is the
usual rate. Cheaper accommod.aions
can of course be found in other i)arts of
the city. This is thefashionaiile residence
section, and it is the nearest to the Expo-
sition grounds, and on the Elmwood
trolley line, the most direct route to the
Rainbow City.
Buffalo is a beautiful city, taken as a
whole, but like all great centers of indus-
try, it has its dirty, smoky, unattractive
sections, and the unwary visitor is liable
to find himself located in a hotel or lodg-
ing house in such a section, if he does not
take pains to find out where he is going.
It is easy to make inquiry.
The visitor ought to buy copies of the
Buffalo papers in the morning before he
starts out tor his day of sightseeing, for
the local papers treat the Exposition
ver.v generously and abound in interest-
ing descriptions of what is going on at
the Rainbow City. They contain many
pointers about what to see and what to
hear on the particular day the visitor
may be desirous of such information.
Visitors wishing to have the program of
the day in convenient form should buy
the official program, tor sale for five
cents, at the hotels, at the gates, and in
various parts of the grounds. The olficial
catalogue, costing 25c., gives complete
lists of the exhibits, which will be found
very useful, and the Art Handbook is in-
valuable to the visitor who wishes to
form an intelligent idea of the architec-
ture and sculpture, the color scheme, the
landscape gardening and the Fine Arts
Exhibit. This is also a handsome Expo-
sition souvenirthat costs 25c. Of course
they charge for beer, lemonade, and fancy
drinks at the Pan-American, but good
water, fresh from I,ake Erie, is free, and
there are numerous drinking fountains.
There are also ample toilet provisions,
there being both free sections and sec-
tions where a small charge is made.
Many people spoil their impressions of
an Exposition by seeing it from the
wrong point of view, physically, or men-
tally, or both. Don't enter the Pan-
American by the side doors, on Amherst
Street, t'se eitlier the Ijincoln Parkway
gate, on the south, the Railroad gate on
the north, or the Elwmood gate, or the
best of all, go in by the water gate, leav-
ing the car at the corner of Forest and
Delaware Avenues, and get your first
glimpse of the Rainbow City from across
the Park Lake and while journeying over
its glassy surface by launch or gondola.
Don't fail to get the view of the buildings
of the Pan-American which the trip
around the grounds on the canals gives
you; and the best time to take it is b.v
twilight, when the approaching dusk
spreads a romantic haze a bout the facades
and minarets and towers and finals of

THOSE WHO DIRECT.
Frederic W. Taylor, who occupied a
similar position at the Omaha Exposi-
tion, and who is well known to Ex-
change readers, is the head of the Horti-
cultural Department, which includes Po-
mology, Arboriculture, Viticulture and
Floriculture; and ex-president S. A. F.O.
H. William Scott, of Buffalo, is assistant
superintendent of Horticulture in charge
of Floriculture. The energy and ability
exhibited by Mr. Scott to the end that
his department be made thoroughly rep-
resentative and worthy of the great oc-
casion, is most commendable. He has
been untiring in his efforts to maintain
an interest throughout the country in
floriculture at the Pan-.\mericau, by the
issuance of frequent bulletins on the pro-
gress making and otherwise, and he is
deserving of the be.'st thanks of the whole
florist fraternity for the excellent and
eminent services he has rendered.

strongest interest and merit, and begin-

labeled trolley cars.
This entrance directly faces the " Rose
Garden, "or as it might be defined, theex-
hibitors' space or grounds. Close on the
left is Bobbink & Atkins' (Rutherford,
N. J.,) new evergreen display. On the
same plot or lawn is a large bed of per-
ennial phlox, shown by EUwanger &
Barry, Rochester, N. Y., and further, con-
taining a large oval bed planted to a va-
riety by Chas. D. Zimmermau, of Buffalo.
Farther to the left is a large show of her-
baceous perennials in variety by H. A.
Dreer, Philadelphia. Moving directly from
the entrance and towards the Women's
Building, F. K. Piereon Co.'s most showy
plantings of cannas, and the bay tree and
hydrangea setting about the "Chariot
Race" statuary, are next in evidence. In
Continuing in the same direction along
the center pathway, parterres of bedding
are on both sides,in a large variety, and by
many different exhibitors. We briefly

while a companion to it, "American Pedi-
gree" cannas by the Conard & Jones Co.,

this time.
The canna David Haruni, shown by J.
C. Vaughan, New York and Chicago, dark
foliage and scarlet flowers, begets atten-
tion. Garrett A. Hobart canna shown
by W. G. Eisele, West End, N. .]., is very
striking m its very large deep scarlet
blooms set well above graceiiil, drooping
and rather broad-leaved green foliage.
A sharp turn to the left as the bridge is
approached, and that keeps us iu the
garden, leads to more interesting com-
mercial displays that the sightseer may
examine and criticise as he wills. Our
notice is taken in three round beds of
dwarf growing geraniums by Henry
Eichholz, Waynesboro, Pa., showing Dr.
E. A. Hnring, single, deep scarlet; Dry-
den, single rose, white centered, and
America, deep pink, the freest in flower-
ing of all. Cannas Leonard Vaughanand
Chicago, from .1. C. Vaughan, are here;
the latter distinctive in a scarlet color
and ample foliage.
The lagoon or canal on the right, w ith
its lilies and cattails now so tree, and its
well-grown banks of plantings iu trees
and shrubs, is truly attractive. Moving
on parallel with this water surface, some
large displays of H. A. Dreer are seen in
cannas, rudbeckias and a showy scarlet
geranium bed by C. W. Ward; and, direct-
ly opposite the rear side of the Women's
Building, John Cook's new hybrid tea
rose. Admiral Schley, may be noticed.
Mexico has a large cactus display that
is very interesting as this class goes, con-
taining some line si)ecimens.

Continuing- in a beginning ot the pop-
lar tree bordered walks that encircle
generally the entire group of exhibit
buildings past the Graphic Arts work-
shop, we turn also away from the
.Midway, cross tlie bridge leading to
the Horculture lUiilding, thence turn-
ing to the right to Peter Henderson
& Co.'s outdoor display, which occu-
pies a large irregular space, situated
between the buililing on its south side
an) the canal. The showing of this firm,
which is quite extensive, includes a great
variety.
From it the south conservatory is en-
tered, and whicii leads to the large Hor-
ticulture Building. This is principally
given up to tempting displays of fruit,
but some flowers and plants are a feat-
ure, and in entering from it the norlh
conservatory we in the latter come to
the end of the commercial displays. -Ad-
joining here outside is the complimentary
bedded exhibit of the Detroit Park Board.

namental displays of the Exposition Co.,

much space would be reipiired to even

the east front of the Horticulture P>uild-
ing, a large sunken garden effect, with
its sloping sides planted, is before us. .\
similar one fronts the blue-domed United
States Government Building in the dis-
tance. On the left we can enter the Gra-
phic Arts Building, with its attractive
books, buildings and show effects. Pass-
ing out at the east center exit, we come
to an Italian garden effect in the space
between us and the Music Temple beyond.

ai|uatics occupies the center space, with
the two ends of the spaces finished in a
complicated arrangement of carpet bed-
ding. The large number of individual
plants used here may be observed, also a
note of the fact that all of the trees here
employed for embellishment w'ere moved
only last Fall. Passing through the col-
umned porticos, to the east, the Court of
Fountains is before us, attractively
flower bordered and bedecked on three
sides. Passing south, through the open
on Central Court to the quadriga, and
beyond its grand bridging of the Mirror
Lake, we move up the steps to the left,
noting the small lagoon effects and shore
plantings of the same. Arriving at a
group of state buildings, our way leads
us just east of the Ohio building, towards
the left, and to "Mr. Ulrich's Island " on
which one might find hours of entertain-
ment in the varied plantings here made.
.Straight ahead is theinteresting fisheries
portion of the United States Government
Building, the latter beingenteied from it.
To those interested, the agrostological ex-
hibit of growing gras.ses will be found
across the canal, east of the main Gov-
ernment buildings. Continuing north,
we are led to another inside formal gar-
den, facing the Manufactures and Arts
Building, and beyond which on " the
Mall " are two sunken gar^ien effects.
The trend of thus noticing the floral
effects is suitable in the main for (luickly
visiting the leading buildings ami ends
practically at the east entrance of the

the Electric Tower. Many features of
interest to the florist, space forbids
touching on, and must be observed and

In Horticulture Building, Pan-American Exhibition
NIAGARA FALLS.
On the fla.v following the close of the
ConTention proper — Friday, August 9 —
the delegates wiU be taken, as guests of the
Buffalo Florists' Club, on a visit to Ni-
agara Falls. The world-famous cata-
ract is too well known to require more
than a passing notice. Long before the
advent of the white man the Falls were
known to the Indians. As early as 1535
those dwelling about the mouth of the
St. Lawrence river knew of the existence
of the Falls. Father Hennepin, who ac-
companied La Salle, the great French ex-
plorer, states that he personally visited
the cataract in 1678, and describes the
Falls at some length. He spelled the
name "Niagara," from the Iroquois
pronunciation— Ni-ah-gah-ra — m e a n i n g
"Thunder of Waters." The awe-inspir-
ing, never-ceasing roar of the great vol-
ume of water as it rushes over the preci-
pice into theawful seething ab.vss below,
the leaping and foaming of the turbulent
Whirlpool Rapids,which descend some 40
feet in the last half mile of their course,
before plunging into the gorge, with the
surrounding natural grandeur, baffle the
description of poet and philosopher. One
must see them to fully realize the im-
mensity of the iudescribableness.
But now Niagara has been harnessed
and the unknown strength of her waters,
which through the ages had rolled in in-
quirementsof liuffalo, the Exposition and
other institutions. And strange as it
may all appear, it is asserted as a fact
that "the comparatively small amount
of water which is taken from above the
Falls to supply the plant of the Niagara
Falls Power Company does not iiinkea
difference of half an inch in the depth of
water passing over the brink." Above
and over all, majestic in their iron
strength, the various railroad and foot
bridges silently view from theircoramand-
ing altitudes the troubled waters, and
unmoved listen to the echo of the inces-
sant monotone of their never-d.ving roar
wafted through the chameleon-like. spray
that marks the measure of their fury,
wondering what all the noise is about.

Impressions of Guernsey.
Please note the headiug, tor it is only
impressions I can offer. Durinir a visit
of nine "lays, all tolii, one can only catch
hasty passinu glimpses of a country, its
inhabitants and their ways.
Traveling is maileeasy now-a-clays,and
the journey to Guernsey is an example.
One leaves London at 9:50, and a fast
train takes one down to Southampton
without a change. The train runs riaht
down to the docks, and the traveler has
only a few steps to go to his steamer.
The passaire tal^es about six hours in
favorable weather, but, as everyone
knows, this part of the channel can make
itself extremely unpleasant at times. I
tasted the good and the bad, the out-
ward run being remarkably quiet, and the
homeward (me very rough, seas breaking
over the decks, and nearly all the passen-
gers bowled over with sea sickness. Our
boat arrived in St. I'eter's Tort between
6 and 7 a. m., and a friend to meet me
made matters easy in the way of hiring a
vehicle and seeing after the luggage. The
vehicle was a four-wheeled affair with a
hood and movable glass front, known as
a "chair," which here takes the place ^f
the cab. St. Peter's Port, the principal
town and port of the Island, is a quaint
mixture of French and English, narrow,
old-fashioned streets, and modern tree-
planted roads. Other signs of a go-a-
head, up-to-date population are found in
electric trams, electric light and many
otherthingsof which someplaces of more
importance on this side of the water
cannot boast.
I had heard a great deal about the
amount of glass in Guernsey, but numbers
of feet, acres of space, or the like statis-
tics do not strike the ordinary mind like
the actual sight of thething.s themselves;
and when I had been shown round some
of the parts most thickly covered with
greenhouses.I felt, like the Queen of Sheba
— " the half was not told me."
There are some spots where one may
stand on a high piece of ground and view
an almost unbroken sea of glass; liter-
ally the Island will soon be covered with
it, for houses are still going up on every
side.
The principal form of house is a span-
roof about 30 feet wide, and any length,
according to circumstances. The roofs
are as a rule of very flat pitch; growers
are not afraid of snow here; it seldom falls
In any quantity and never lies long, and
of course a flat pitched house is more eco-
nomical, both in building and heating.
In addition to the span, almost every
form of house is seen; ridge and furrow,
like many of our home growers favor,
narrow, low melon houses, and lean-to
structures in lesser numbers, and lastly'
the traveling house, running on rails
This last form is highly spoken of by
some growers, as a time-saving contriv-
ance, the house being far more easily
moved over a crop than the crop can be
planted or moved into the house.
The crops are very varied and exten-
sive. I think perhaps tomatoes come
first, grapes next, then follow a host of
smaller fry in the shape of kidney beans,
potatoes, melons, peas, figs, cucumbers,
etc., among the edibles; while of things
to delight the eye may be mentioned,
arums, smilax, Asparagus plumosus, free-
sias, many kinds of narcissi, Raepail
geraniums, etc.
Some men grow tomatoes only, some
aie especially noted for one crop, some
for another; while others seem to try a
little of everything. The great aim is to
keep the houses always emplo.ved ; when
one crop is exhausted, another is ready to
take its place. Land is dear, fuel very
dear, and labor none too cheap; so un-
less the houses are kept well going and
always turning out something, they can-
not be made to pay. Hardly any of the
houses liave staging; the crops are either
planted in the soil or grown in pots or
boxes set on the gr<jund. So long as the
natural soil can lie used there is a great
saving in expense, but it soon becomes
exhausted, soured, or tilled with fungoid
growths; then the growerhas to turn to
tresh turfy .soil and i)ot culture. .Tadoo
fibre is being tried by some, and is highly
spoken of, but it has not yet been taken
up by the many.
It is the same in Guernsey as in other
places where large numbers of one class
of plants are cultivated, diseases of all
sorts make their appearance. One hears
complaints on all sides of "club-r<JOt,"
"sleeping disease," "stripe," "rust,"
"mildew," and so on. However, I do not
think the Guernsey grower is the class of
man to sit down and cry, saying he is
ruined, but rather the sort who will rise
to the occasion and do everything in his
power to combat evils of this kind.
One thing struck me as an out8ider,,and
that was how very closely all inside
crops were planted; whether tomatoes,
vines, beans, peas, or whatever the crop
might be, they seemed planted very close
together. On my remarking this, the
growers would say, "We must plant close-
ly to get the weight out of the house,"
but it is an open question whether more
weight could not be obtained with rather
wider planting, while the chance of dis-
eases gaining a footing would certainly
be lessened, lor overcrowding is a fruitful
source of the spread of disease. I will not
pretend to give an opinion as to which is
the most paying crop, nor will I trouble
you with a lot of figures which always
appear from time to time in the garden-
ing papers, as how many tons of grapes,
tomatoes, or cut flowers leave the Island
In the year; but will be content with
saying that the (iuernsey grower consid-
ers one ton of grapes or two tons of to-
matoes to a house 100 x 30 feet good
work, though it is often exceeded.
Of outside crops, perhaps bulbs come
first in point of importance; ot these there
is already a large stock grown, and more
are being planted every season. Daffo-
dils take the lead, and some kinds suc-
ceed better here than anywhere I have
seen them; Golden Spur,Obvallarls. Henry
Irving, and Princeps do remarkably well.
Of polyanthus varieties. Grand Mon-
arque, Solell d'Or, Grand Primo, Sellly
White, and White Pearl are extensively
and well grown, other kind.s in smaller
quantities. One does not see such exten-
sive bread thsol onekiudof narcissus here
as in Holland, or some parts of Lincoln-
shire, but on the other hand the bulbs are
well-grown and very healthy.
Gladioli and many other subjects are
grown in lesser numbers.
Various vegetables are also cultivated,
broccoli being an important crop. At
the time of my visit, March 15, tons of
radishes were being exported. The seed
is sown in the Autumn, and the roots
grow more or less all through the Win-
ter, and are reaciy to draw in March.
The great advantage of Guernsey as a
fruit, flower and vegetable growing cen-
ter, lies in its climate; the Winters are so
mild and the sunsliine so much in excess
ot mostpartsot the mainland, that things
flourish outside which would have no
chance in most parts of England, while
a cold greenhouse is all that is required,
wliere a heated house would be a neces-
sity with us. For instance, camellias
grow into huge bushes in the open, fig
trees are trained into arbors, and some
very decent canes of vines are grown in
the open ground; while chrysanthemums
are struck by thousands in cold houses.
To set against these advantages, land is
very dear, £300 to £600 per acre, to buy,
and £7 10s. to £10 to rent. Then coal is
very dear; last Winter it reached 318. per
ton. Wages runabout the same as in the
Midlands, about 18s. a week tor laborers,
aud 23s. to 25s. for foremen or leading
hands. One thing that struck me very
forcibly was the very intimate and
friendly terms on which these rival grow-
ers live, and the happy way in which they
combine to secure their rights and privi-
leges. They seem to have few or no se-
crets from one another, but freely discuss
the prices brought in t)y their produce,
the best varieties to cultivate, the meth-
ods of eradicating i)lant pests, and other
subjects ot mutual interest. They also
have their Growers' Association, the
members ot which meet to discuss busi-
ness matters, or to listen to papers on
the scientific or commercial sides of their
pursuit.
This combination of a class having
common interests is a very laudable thing
and one which we on this side would do
well to imitate, but, unfortunately, petty
jealousies seem to prevent anything like
union and concerted action on the part
of growers at home. — Tk.\veleh iu The

Toronto.
BuHinetiB at Bed Rock.
The continued hot. dry weather
has brought business down to about
bed rock. Roses and carnations are gen-
erally poor, but llliums, both longifio-
rum and lancifolium varieties, are good
and plentiful. Sweet peas are still so abun-
dant that there is often no sale for quan-
tities ot them. Carnations and violets
in the fields did well in the early part of
the season, but they are now about at a
standstill, except where the grower has
easy facilities for watering.
Convention Talk.
The London convention is likely to
be well attended. The rate from all parts
of the Dominion will be single fare; and
I would remind all intending visitors
that all information about the conven-
tion can be obtained either from the sec-
retary, A. H. Ewing, Berlin, Ont., or W.
W. Gammage, London, Ont. Several of
the Toronto boys expect to attend the
convention at Buffalo also.

New Varieties.
Bench plants are now making a good
growth, and one can begin to see how
tlie new varieties are going to compare
with the older ones, so far as growtli is
concerned.
First, oi course, comes Timothy E 'ton,
'•the sensational white." It certainly is
a sensational grower, ami will be a won-
der if the flower corresponds to the stem
and foliage. Our plants were small when
we received them, and wehad our doubts
about them ; but to-day Timothy Eaton
looks better and stronger than any other
variety we have, new or old. It received
no different treatment or soil from those
afforded to our other varieties, yet its
appearance causes comment by everyone
who goes througii the house.
Mrs. Elmer D. Smith is also making
very good growth. It is a very robust
variety, with a tliick, rigid stem and
deeply cut handsome foliage. Its general
appearance reminds one much of a varie-
ty named Souci, which was sent outlast
year, but was with us not worth grow-
ing. It does not at all follow, of course,
that Mrs. Elmer D. Smith is going to re-
semble it in that respect. lolantlia is
making a nice, clean growth, and we
may expect to see it in evidence at the
early exhibitionsthis Fall. A good, early
pink is badly needed. Glory of the Pacific
suits some growers all right, but the
growth is too short jointed for my taste
and the color fades so quickly. Let us
hope lolantha will be good enough to
supplant it.
Of the foreign novelties, Mrs. Barkley,
perhaps, is making the best showing at
present. It is dwarf but is producing im-
mense foliage, which, however, shows
some tendency to disease at the bottom
of the plant. It should be watered care-
fully not to get the soil too wet and
sticky.
Nellie Pockett is doing very well. It is
a healthy, stocky grower, wth a flower
somewhat resembling that of Mayflower,
but much superior to that variety. M.
T. Carrington shows some inclination to
disease, but in the main is making a very
vigorous growth, as is also Miss Alice
Byron, a dwarf pure white variety.
Mme. Deis, which was exhibited in good
shape at Chicago and New York last
Fall, is a variety that does not make any
superabundance of foliage, and may
push its way up as a commercial kind.
It is a far better sort than the white Vi-
viand-Morel Mrs. Ritson, which it some-
what resemblesin styleof flower, because
it can be depended on to produce a good
flower and Mrs. Kitson cannot. The
stem is thin, but well able to hold the
flower erect.
Of the novelties of last year. Colonel
Appletou is head and shoulders above
everything, excellent in stem and foliage
and an easy grower; it is probably being
planteii more this year than any other
one yellow variety.
GoM Mine we had hoped to work up
this year to a point where we could get
some good plants of it, but with us it is
still ver.v poor, and is, I fear, doomed to
speedy oblivion.
During the last days of this month
those growers who are aspiring to be the
flrst in the market with cut blooms begin
to take buds, on Mme. Gastelier, Mme.
Bergmann, Lady Fitzwygram, Marquis
de Montmort and such like extra early
varieties. By the flrst in the market, I
mean, of course, early in September.
Whether chrysanthemums pay so early as
that we will not discuss; I don't tliink
they do. The great majority of the
chrysanthemums seen last Fall until the
first week in October, were not so good
as white asters even, and could not be
sold for any more money. We have tried
the extra early varieties under the im-
pression that the old adage about the
early bird gettmg the worm was appli-
cable to the case. Perhaps the weather
was too dry and the worm had gone
away down in the ground and had trou-
ble getting up again. Anyway, it didn't
come our waj', and now if we get our
flrst crop ready by the middle of October,
we are content; and prices are more
what they ought to be. Iora.

TULIP DISPLAY OF JAMES VICK'S SONS, ROCHESTER, N.
at Pan-American Exposition.

by deeji reil or scarlet, and an outer bor-
der of white. The varieties used in plant-
ing weie Yellow Prince for the center,
thenanumherof rowsof bulbs of Couleur
Cardinal, and lastly a broad border of
L'Immaculee.
A oed of hyacinths planted by the same
company was greatly admired. We say
a bed, but really there was a system of
ijeds, consisting of two oblong ones with
a circular one between them. The colors
were red, white and blue, the center or
round be<l being white and filled with
bulbs of Baroness Van Thuyl, and the
oblong beds, one with Charles Dickens,
blue, and the other with Amy, red.
Another bed of this firm's planting de-
serves mention; it made a splendid show
and lengthened out the tulip season; this
was a bed of tulip Gesneriana. It made
plants propagated at this season will
make nice, short stock, suitablefor grow-
ing several together in 10 or 12-inch
pans.
Pansieb. — Where these are forced for
Winter flowering, the seeds may be sown
at once. The best place to sow is in a
well-prepared bed outdoors. Have the
soil in prime condition by turning it over
several times, and also put in a good
dressing of manure. Makethebed moder-
ately firm and sow the seed in drills that
are just a few inches apart. When the
seedlings are large enough to handle,
transplant them evenly over the same
bed, and by the first of October they will
be nice stock for putting on the benches
in the greennouse. Pansies for next
Spring sales will be all right If sown in
a couple of weeks from now.

at Pan-American Exposition.
a brilliant mass of crimson color. This
tulip should be planted by itself, as it
comes late into blgom and lasts a long
time.
At the present time James Vick's Sons
are making a special display of a new
variety of aster which has not yet been
introduced to the trade. It is called an
extra early Comet, a pure white flower,
very large, earlier than Early Market or
Queen of the Earlies. It is a remarkablj'
fine flower and will be found a valuable
acquisition.
Chrysanthemums. — Whatever method
of tying up the shoots is used, the sooner
it is attended to, after the plants are set-
tled on the benches, the better. A string
across the bench near to each row, and
a corresponding string near the roof of
the house, and then a separate string
from these for each jilant, is about the
clieapest and best niothod of tying clirys-
nantheinums. These strings make tem-
porary supports to which the plant can
be tied, and when the flowers are cut and
the bench is to be cleared, the strings can
be cut and thrown away with the other
rubbish. Do not commence feeding
chrysanthemums with liquid manure
yet; when the buds are in sight is early
enough.

Treatment of The Marquis.
In answer to many inqniries regarding
the culture of The Marciuis carnation,
permit me tosay,througli yourcolumns;
Do not pinch later than the last week in
July. House, if possible, the first week
in August, llefore housing slia<ie heavily
with mud. Renew this as needed until
the plants are established. Thi.s is ol" the
utmost importance. Success with The
Marquis depends ui>on the observance of
this rule. Plant firmly, in medium loam,
one-fifth rotted manure, a judicious
sprinkling of lime and wood ashes, and a
liberal amount of pure bone meal or Hour
— the latter preferred. Do not plant too
deep. As fast as planted water thor-
oughly and thereafter not until the
soil is well on the drj' side. In the
meantime syringe the foliage several
times daily, according to the weather, to
keep it from drying. Keep the house
rather close, ventilating only on one side
to take care of condensation. Draughts
must be avoided.
After the plants are established let the
shading gradually come off, and give
more air and finally all you can while
the weather is suitable. Syringe occa-
sionally to keep down red spider. Do not
give The Marquis too much water; incline
to the dry rather than wet culture. A
night temperature of 50 degrees suits
the variety. It will bear feeding, but too
much nitrogenous food is to be avoided.
After Easter, as the sun's rays are power-
ful, shade the glass, and mulch with well-
rotted manure. Renew the shading as
needed. and you will have The Marquis in
fine form and good color into the Sum-
mer. L. E. Marquisee.

Orchid Culture.
The following notes on general cidture
of orchids are taken from Sander's Orchid
(juide, referred to on page 747 of Thk
Florists' Exchange issue of .July 20:
The letters S. (stove), I. (intermediate)
C. (cool), opposite each plant, refer to
the respective houses or divisions most
suitable for the plants, the temperatures
for which are as follows:
Stove. — During the Summer 65 degrees
to 70 degrees Fahr. by night and 70 de-
grees to SO degrees by day, rising higher
during sunshine. Winter, GO degrees to
G5 degrees by night and 60 degrees to 70
degrees by day.
Intermediate— During Rummer 60 de-
grees to 05 degrees by night and 65 de-
grees to 70 degrees by day; higher with
sun. Winter, 55 degrees to 60 degrees by
night and 60 to 65 degrees by day.
f^ooi.. — This division should be kept as
near 60 degrees Fahr. as possible by day
and 55 degrees by night during Summer.
In Winter the night temperature may fall
to +5 degrees to 50 degrees without in-
jury to the plants but should be increased
to 55 degrees to 57 degrees during the
day.
The foregoing temperatures must bow-
erer only be regarded as averages; the
maximum temperatures may often
slightly exceed that given above during
the Summer, while care is necessary dur-
ing the .Spring and late Autumn months
to keep the temperature as steaily as
possible; but with sunshiny we.ither in
Summer the temperatures may run up
with much adv.intage; providing there
is plenty of fresh air circulating among
the plants night and day they will flour-
ish; and at night abundance of moisture
may be allowed it the temperatures do
not fall below those specified.
VicNTiLATioN,^('oming,as nearly all or
chids do, from hilly and mountainous
countries fresh air is vital to them and
should be freely admitted on all possible
occasions, particularly in the cool and in-
termediate houses. In the stove or East
Indian house so-called from the class of
orchids usually drown in it, with its
higher temperature, though quite asbenc-
ficial to the plants, air cannot be so freely
admitted or harm will result from the
lowered temperature, ^'entilators in the
top of the house can only be opened at
the most for a short time eacli day, ancl
even then not sufficiently wide to allow
the atmosphere to become too dry, air
being chiefly admitted by the bottom
ventilators. Air may be left on the bot-
tom ventilators during the Summer both
day and night, and also, but to a less ex-
tent, in the n'inter, especially in frosty
east winds. When top air is" given, dis-
cretion must always be used and the out-
door temperature studied, or too much
moisture escapes from the liouse, ciusing
a dry, arid atmosphere in the place of a
moist, genial one. This applies to all or-
chid houses.
Shading is most convenient in the form
of roller blinds made of canvas netting or
wooden laths; the latter have lately be-
come very popular. Whatever material is
used, it is better to he left in position all
the year, and should be so arranged as
tt) be easily run up and <lown. Hlintis are
as useful in keeping out the cold on a
Winter's night as in keeping the sun off the
plants in Summer. .\n air space of a few
inches between the glass and the blinds
is desirable, as this tends to keep a more
even temperature in the house, and
allows a free circulation of air over the
outer surface of the glass. It should al-
ways be remembered that orchids, with
ve y few exceptions, require and enjoy
light and sunlight, but not the sun's di-
rect rays, hence the great superiority of
roller blinds over permanent shading.
Watkring. — Rain water is more prefer-
able for most plants, especially orchids,
and should always be stored in sufficient
quantity for use, but as a moist atmos-
phere with air is conducive to the well-
lieiug of the jilaut, to avoid wasting rain
water, hard water may be used for damp-
ing the paths, stages, etc., this operation
being done as often as required during
both Summer and Winter, excepting in
the case of deciduous orchids, which are
not injured by a somewhat drier atmos-
phere in the Winter. In all the houses the
(182) Healing"— I am^'building a
greenhouse 15 x 60; feet. Would you
kindly tell me if 10 runs of I'/o-inch pipe
will be sufficient to heat it to a night
temper.atureof 45 degrees when the ther-
mometer is 10 below zero? The house
is an even span and joins another green-
house.— E. S.
— With ten pipes and a good boiler, 50
degrees can be maintained in a house 1.5
feet wide. Nine would answer for 45 de-
grees. Of these, three could be flows and
the others returns. — L. R. Taft.
(18.3) Plants for Hanging Baskets
in Shade. — What are the best plants in
addition to begonias for hanging bas-
kets? The baskets get no overhead light
or sun during the day and are watered
mornings when necessary. German ivy
does fairly well. — M. H.

plants are greatly benefited, especially
during Summer, by frequent dampings
between the pots. When properly potted
in well-drained pots or pans, nearly all
orchids, when in full growth, benefit b.y
frequent waterings, but when the season's
growth is completed and during dull
weather water only when absolutely
needful, but damping between the pots is
always beneficial.
Potting. — We have thought it best to
give directions on this subject to each
genus, but it may here be stated that it
is needful to repot orchids before the soil
becomes sour, using the best materials.
The most generally used and safest com-
post for I'otting is good fibrous peat and
fresh sphagnum moss in ec|iia,l parts
mixed with small broken crocks, and a
little coarse sand added to keep same
sweet and open, and for all ample drain-
age is essential. Man.y grand examples

(184) Uoot Galls on Gardenias.— We
send a gardenia plant which has been
taken from a beiich,(nota pot plant, ).'\nd
which we find is club-rooted, or the roots
seem knotted. Can you tell the cause of
such growth and suggest a remed.v'.' — H.
—The roots of the gardenia plant are
badly affected with roots galls, caused
by nematodes. How they come to be
there is without a dcnibt the result of
using soil that was infisted with the
eel worms. They are found chiefly in soil
that has grown clover, and are consid-
ered by many tc; be beneficial to the clover
crop; but when such soil has been used
for rose growing, the roses are usually a
failure. The ajipearance of the gardenia
plant sent would indicate that the nema-
todes will iujun' the gardenia as.mucli
as the rose. It is difficult to suggest a
reiniMly. If it were a bench of roses, we
woulil throw them out and start afresh.
We would advise lifting the pl.niits, cut-
ting off some of the larger roots that are
most badly affected, and clean out the
bench, filling it with soil obtained from
some other source; then replant the
plants in the bench, and as the planting
is being done, work a small hanilful of
air-slacked limeinto thesoil, around each
plant. The nematodes are small, thread-
like worms, and the lime might prevent
them multiplying.
(185) llorers in Oalc Trees. — Would
you please be kind en<)ugh to give me
any remed.v or advii:e on worms or borers
tha-t attack oak trees? I have a large
oak that was badly infested last .year,
and again this season. The sap fairly
runs from it at times and is very offensive
to the smell, like vinegar. I have cut
awa.v the bark; and tried following the
borers with wire; also applied lime and
kerosene wash without much success
further than perhaps killing a dozen or
more worms. — E. G. G.
—To prevent the attacks of borers is
something which has puzzled those who
have the care of trees for some time.
Those familiar with the care of orchard
trees, assert there is nothing better than
going over the trees twice a year, cutting
out the grubs if any have entered. A
celebrated fruit growler of Marj'land as
serts that a wash made as follows, and
applied to the tree with a brush, will pre-
vent the insect from laying its eggs in
the bark: Lime, as for whitewash, to
one gallon add half a pint of gas tar, one
pound of whale oil soap, and one quart
of clay or loam. Then, a Professor Na-
son had a preparation he called dendro-
line, a viscid substance, which is sup-
posed to do the samething. .Still another
substance, called Otwell's tree paint, has
been named for it. Why not try wire fl.y
netting, such as is used in windows? if
the ff.y which is producing the grub that
attacks your tree is even smaller than
the one which does the mischief on fruit
trees, it could not get through this net-
ting. I do not know that you can do
anything more to arrest the progress of
tliose in the tree, beyond trying your
best to get them out. Joseph Meehan.

is registered " Bobs," being named after
Lord Roberts, because it embodies all bis
characteristics, being little and great.
Thecanna in full growth attains the
height of 18 inches to two feet. It is of
the Croz.v type. The flowers are large,
being larger than those of Mme. Crozy;
the color being similar to that of tie

Virginia Crop Pect Laws. — The Vir-
ginia State Board of Crop I'est Commis-
sioners has issued a circular defining the
.State's position relative to shipments of
nursery stock into Virginia. The follow-
ing requirements must be met in the cer-
tificate of inspection before its acceptance;
1st. The date on which the inspection
was made. (Inspections made before
July 1 of each current year will not be
accepted.)
2d. The name of the person or persons
who make the inspection must appear in
the certificate.
3d. The certificate must certify that
the stock is apparently free from San
Jos^ scale and other dangerously injuri-
ous insects, pests, and plant diseases.
4th. It will be the policy of this oflice
to accept only certificates which show
that the examination has been made by
a person or persons of jjroper credentials
as to their competency, 1. e., known en-
tomologists, t)r persons vouched for by
known entomologists.
All plants carrying San Jos# scale,
woolly aphls(orthe isnotted roots caused
by this insect), crown gall, black knot,
fire blight or peach yellows, will, when
found in transit or upon nursery yards
or delivered upon private premises, be
seized and destroyed, and the tags issued
to the shipper of such stock will be re-
called.
It would be indeed a rare occurrence to
find black knot, fire blight, or peach
yellows on nursery stock.
Official tags, at stated prices, can be
obtained from the State Entomologist

S.A.F.O.H.andThe Oiher Societies.
Editor Florists' Exchange:
When one has engaged in a piece of
work, and to all intents and purposes
finished it, it is with a feeling of satisfac-
tion, if he can lool{ bacli and conscien-
tiously say it is well done.
Since May 15 1 have been endeavoring
to so consider the work of the incorpo-
rators of the S. A. F. O. H., under the
charter, performed at Washington, and it
is with feelings of extreme regret that I
am now compelled to confess that the
Constitution and Uy-laws as adopted at
Washingtou are not wholly satisfactory,
and it probably would have been better
if the incorporators had spent another
day ill more thorough study and con-
sideration.
1 have read with a great deal of inter-
est what has lieeii written by Adaoi
Graham, Grove P. Rawson, E. G. Gillett,
A. Herrington, Wm. Weber, W. .Swayne,
W. G. Bertermann, W. N. Rudd, and a
number of other gentlemen whose opin-
ions upon any sul>ject connected with
floriculture should have great weight,
and the tone f>l doubt that pervades
man.y of these opinions is no unimport-
ant factor in convincing my mind that
we have not done as well as we might
have done.
Regarding article fifth, concerning co-
operative societies, I am not sure that
the efforts which have been made, are
being made, and will be made to attach
the other fioricultural societies to the So-
ciet.v of American Florists will meet witli
material success. I am not now certain,
after giving the matter mature and de-
liberate consideration, that if the attach-
ments sought were successfully brought
about, they would be of material benefit
to the societies concerned. As matters
now stand, the majority of the members
of other societies are members of the So-
ciet.v of American Florists as well. I
know that quite a percentage of these
dual members have been influenced to
join the Society of American Florists
through first being connected with one
of the other societies, and, thus far, the
other societies have been a source of
added strength to the S. A. F. and have
in nowise tended toward weakeningit or
toward its disintegration. I mention
this at this point as a refutation of the
oft repeated assertion, that if we have a
number of special societies, the doom of
the S. A. F. is sealed. No such assertion
IS, or ever has been valid. If the S. A. F.
ever ceases to exist it will be because of
the lack of accomplishing its mission, or
its failure to perform some really valua-
ble work, and not because other societies
are performing valuable work in spheres
which are particularly and entirely their
own.
I am distinctly of the opinion expressed
by Adam Graham when he says " that
liittle can be done by the S. A. F. more
than to be read.v to meet the other socie-
ties half way whenever they may see it
to their advantage to court amalgama-
tion. "And I particularly agree with him
where he sa.vs " that the other societies
must first be satisfied that their interests
win be better cared for than under the
present arrangement.''
This is wherein the great danger to the
special societies lies. At the present time
their interests are receiving the undivided
care and attention of the enthusiasts
who are most interested in exploiting the
specialties which they represent. Tliese
special societies are distinctively trade
educational bodies which are performing
lor the specialties they represent thesame
■services as are performed by the mission-
ary travelers who are sent out by the
great American manufacturing ctmcerns.
The functions of these missionary travel-
ers are to show, exploit and acquaint the
dealers and consumers with the manufac-
tures of the firms the.v represent, and no
efforts are made by them to sell goods:
but thesellingof goodsislcft to the sales-
man who follows in the wake of the
missionary.
So far as my experience with the
American Carnation Society teaches me
anything, it shows that this society has
attended strictly to exploiting and car-
ing for the interests of the carnation. It
has not sought to arrest the growth or
the formation of any other society ; but
has attended strictly to a conservative
"mind your own business" policy and
has amply succeeded in forging success
to the carnation with a well-wielded
hammer upon a strictly business anvil.
Now, I do not believe that the agita-
tion against the formation and growth
of these special societies which has pro-
ceeded from a certain section of the orig-
inal "old guard" of the S. A. F., has done
the latter body any real good, nor has it
in any way tended to injure or restrict
the success of the special societies; and I
firmly believe that at the present time
the Society of American Florists would
better itself ratlier by studying wherein
it can do the fioricultural fraternity of
this country substantial good, rather
than waste its energies in endeavoring
to impede or resti'ict the growth, or ab-
sorb other horticultural bodies.
Just at this period, there recurs to my
mind a ridiculous little episode which
happened in Washington the day after
the Constitution and I3y-laws of the new
chartered society had been adopted.
While riding on a trolley car with a very
enthusiastic exponent of absorption, I
happened to mention that I was a mem-
berof the American Forestry Association
and wa" about to call upon a prominent
fellow member who resided in Washing-
ton. The enthusiast's face brightened up
with fresh interest. " There," said he,
" why can't we absorb the American
Forestry Association, and make it a sec-
tion of our grand S. A. F. ?" I replied,
that the American Forestry Association
was quite an important body. " Yes,"
said lie," I have heard of it,and I think it
is worth having. Now, can't you bring
that about and make it a section of the
S. A. F. '.' I believe that we should make
our society one of the grandest on the
glotie. I don't believe in admitting that
there is any body too big or important
for us to absorb."
I endeavored to disillusionize him with
the statement that the American Fores-
try Association represented an industry
which controlled a capital running into
hundreds of millions of dollars, and that
it was already a far more powerful body
than could be made out of all the Ameri-
can fioricultural societies in existence;
but I could not overcome his desire to
gobble it up.
I am a firm believer in the old saying
"aim high," but 1 also realize the im-
portant fact that when one is aiming
high he should have a gun sufficiently
powerful to carry his bullet to the mark;
and at present I doubt the wisdom of
efforts on the part of florists to hit the
moon. I firmly believe that if Ave are
moderate in our attempts, and if we aim
at some attainable mark, we will stand
a far greater chance of accomplishing our
aim than if we undertake something be-
yond our capacity or powers.
I believe the present attempt, emanat-
ing from the S. A. F. as it does, to bring
together the various florists' societies
under one head, may possibly result in a
conflict of interests in the end, that might
be avoided under the present status. As
the matter now stands any of the special
societies can devote as much time and
labor to its specialty as it finds necessary
to a proper development of its interests,
and can also raise as large a fund as it
may find desirable to devote to the uses
of its particular association; and there
will be no dispute or question about the
dispensation of thisfund. If an individual
is more largely interested in the rose than
in other flowers, he can concentrate his
energies and funds to the American Rose
Society, and the same with the carnation
or any other flower; or, if heis interested
in roses and carnations, it will be no
great financial strain upon his means
and he should not begrudge the annual
dues required by both societies. Either
society will give him the full value of its
annual dues.
Great organizations and business con-
cerns are not usually of mushroom
growth, but are generally the outcome of
small beginnings which gradually,
through wisdom learned b.v experience,
develop into large organizations; or,
they are the results of the amalga-
mation of a number of established
concerns, each individual concern bring-
ing into the main organization some
wealth in the way of experience gained
during its period of organization and
growth. Most of the attempts to build
mammoth concerns quickly from raw
materials end in failure and loss. This
course of gradual development I believe
to be the true solution of the question of
American horticultural organization,
and wiserthan to attempt at the presi nt
time more than we can accomplish. I-et
the S. A. F. pay no heed to the other so-
cieties, but look well to its own work
and build well its fences. Let as many
special societies organize as can claim a
following and secure successful financial
support. The time probably will come
in the not very distant future when an
amalgamation of the various horticultu-
ral and fioricultural interests of the
United States will be not only possible,
tint desirable and will be brought about
by the very weight of its desirability;
but I do not believe that this period has
yet been reached. We can safely predict
that when the population of the United
States reaches the one hundred million
mark, the florists' interests will approxi-
mate 50,000 individuals. These would
be sufficient to maintain at least five so-
cieties with a paid-up annual membership
list of 5,000 in each society, which would
give an annual income of $10,000 to each
society with annual dues at $2.
I am not a believer in the effort to cut
down the annual dues of the various so-
cieties because here and there a member
finds it a little disagreeable to pay out
an extra dollar or two per year, in order
to belong to different societies; when
under a combination he could get the
annual reports of several societies for
less money. Tiie amount at stake is so
small, that a single box of cigars or the
denial of a few beers during the year
would cover the difference, and florists
who have great love for their profession
certainly should not find it very difficult
to save in one way or another the little
money required to cover these annual
dues. Nor do I believe that there will be
any speeiBc gain in membership under
the proposed amalgamation. "Your
Roll of Honor" thus far boasts of one
name, not a very encouraging outlook,
to say the least.
I firmly believe that it would be far
better to cut out article V of the Con-
stitution and By-laws, entirely, and leave
the matter of co-operation to a future
conference between the various societies,
at which conference each society mighli
be properly represented by duly appoint-
ed representatives; and a plan of joint
working miglit be evolved which would
meet with the unquestioned approval of
the great majority of members of all so-
cieties concerned. I am afraid that the
present plan will not meet with general
approval from members of the other so-
cieties, and I am further afraid that it
will even be questioned by many mem-
bers of the S. A. F.

Queens, L. I., July 24, 1901.
[This communication was delayed,
owing to Mr. Ward's illness. — En.]
There never has been an occasion in the
history of the Society of American Flo-
rists, always generous, when its un-
bounded magnanimity was better exem-
plified than in the Constitution and By-
Laws under the Charter, about to be
presented to the reorganized Societ.v of
American Florists and Ornamental Hor-
ticulturists for consideration and ratifi-
cation. I have special reference to Article
V in the Constitution dealing with what
are therein termed "Co-operative Socie-
ties." The whole tenor of the sections
included undei that article reveals a "giv-
ing out" by the society with no apparent
desire of benefit to itself, expressed or
implied, other than the securing of co-
operation with various associations,
national or state, " whose aims and pur-
poses are in harmony with the charter of
theS. A. F. O. H."
It seems somewhat anomalous that
this great national body, glorying in tlie
receipt of a charter from the United .States
Government, should lay itself open to
tlie inference of seeming to pander to
other similar societies, to the extent of
granting such of these as come under the
scope of the requirements of its Constitu-
tion, the right to a voice in formulating
its policy and shaping its destiny, and to
pa.v for the privilege of this no doubt
valuable advice, by disbursing the mile-
age charges of the counsellors so favored,
and otherwise! And all this, too, simply
to bring about "co-operation," which is
to react not in any tangible, favorable
form to the S. A. F. O. H. itself, but as-
suredly to the benefit of the harmonizing
associations thus indulged.
The question is, does the S. A. F. O. H.
require the assistance or co-operation of
these other societies to a greater extent
than is now afforded in order to a success-
ful carrying out of its own objects as set
forth in its Constitution; or, with such
assistance and co-operation given, would
these objects be easier or better accom-
plished ?
From a casual glance at the situation
as it stands to-day, it does not appear
that the S. A. F. O. H. would, with this
aid, be assisted, or, without it, be hin-
dered in its own beneficent work — work
that from the inception of the societ.v has
redounded both to the great benefit of
those within itself, and ail of the other
societies, as well as of those, unfortu-
nately for themselves, without these in-
stitutions.
The American Carnation Society is the
strongest "co-operative" association.
Its latest report sliows that this society
has 222 active members; 104of these are
also memliers of the S. A. F. O. H., and
the remaining 118 should be. Its leaders
areall membersot theS.A.F.O.H. Theac-
tive work of the Chrysanthemum Society
of America is done by those who are mem-
bers of the S. A. F. O. H., and the ma-
jority of those constituting the former
body are also members of the latter. So
likewise are the ruling spirits of the
American Rose Society interested in the
S. A. F. O. H., to the extent of being
members of same.
It would seem, therefore, that but little
in the way of advice could by co-opera-
tion be secured from what have been
termed " auxiliary societies" to the S.
A. F. O. H., beyond what already exists
in the latter itself, provided everybody
interested in the special societies did his
duty liy the S. A. F. O. H. as well.
If such bethe case, why then should the
S. A. F. O. H. strip itself of the dignity
with which it has been invested, and
practically confess its inability to con-
duct its own affairs, by makingprovision
lor, and actually courting the supposed
assistance of other "harmonizing"
organizations?
Comments by intei-ested parties have
appeared in your columns, setting forth
that such and such co-operative society
should "stand on its own bottom," etc.
That is exactl.v what it should do; and
the chartered S. A. F. O. H. should adopt
a similar method, and rid itself of incum-
brances from which it receives not a cent
of income, not even gratitude.
The S. A. F. never made a greater mis-
take in its life than when, through lack
of foresight, it failed to take the bull by
the horns at Buffalo, in 1889, when the
flr.st rumblings of forming from within
itself a national Chrysanthemum Society
emanated from one of its ex-presidents,
which society later crystalized into being
— beyond which stage it has never gotten
very tar. Then would have been the
time to have formed its chrysanthemum
section; but, of course, we are always
wise behind hand.
That mistake, however, should not
deter the Society, starting out on practi-
cally a new career, from putting into
execution a similar method now. Let it
establish its own sections from among
its membership, for those specialties
considered as requiring such attention,
and let them work along similar lines to
those of the existing specialty associa-
tions. No great harm will be done either
body by the operation of such a system,
and probably some good — to, at least,
one of the parties.
It has been stated tliat these specialt.v
organizations were the outcome of ne-
cessity; that a national societ.v, of gen-
eral import, could not and dare not give
the attention necessary to bring about
and maintain the high state of develop-
ment such specialty demanded by the
times, and possible of achievement by a
specialty society itself. So far as the
legality or fairness of the greater atten-
tion of the national bod.v being extended
to any speciflc branch of floriculture is
concerned, there might be some objec-
tion; but that is the only small draw-
back. Exhibitions of specialties under
the auspices of the National Society are
as practicable to-day as they were when
they first were advocated years before
any special society was organized, and
as for the additional literature that has
developed, it, too, could have been forth-
coming equally as well under the wing
of the S A. F. as under special societies.
Indeed, glance for a moment at the pro-
ceedings of the S. A. F. The early vol-
umes show that the rose and the chrys-
anthemum interests were zealously fos-
tered, and that, too, because of the great
commercial value of these staples. The
carnation was somewhat neglected, it is
true; but its liour had not yet come, and
when that hour did arrive, the opportu-
nity of the S. A. F. to take that staple in
hand was,again through lack of foresight,
ruthlessly torn from it by the separate
organization, (principally composed of
S. A. F. members), which has done so
much good work on behalf of thatflower.
But it was and is the exhibitions that
brought about the great rivalry to excel
among carnation growers and ushered
into being the wonderful creations we see
to-day. It is the exhibitions which make
the most interesting feature of that spe-

cial society's meetings; and tliere was,
in my opinion, no obstacle in tlie way of
lioliling tliese shows by and under tlie
auspices o( tlie S. A. F., had it so elected
— hut it didn't.
Tliis, however, is somewhat of a devia-
tion from the main theme. The S. A. F.
O. H. should not at all I'eel discouraged
or aggrieved if its generous terms, pro-
vided in its new Constitution and By-
Laws, are not accepted by the existing
national or state organizations having
aims and purposes harmonizing with its
own. As the stronger body, eiuUi wed witli
unique privileges, possessing within itself
all the elements necessary to success,
being independent of aid or counsel from
outside sources, it should pursuetheeven
tenor of its way, profiting by the lapses.
it has made in the past, remembering
them only to the extent to which they
may guide future action; seeking ever
as always to carry out the objects for
which it was created to the best of its
ability. Neither the membership nor
anybody else can hope or look for more.
In fact, with the exception of the mat-
ters of " registration," and the " support
of special exhibitions," included under
Article V of the Constitution, theS. A. F.
O. H. would do itself greater justice, add
more to its dignity, self-dependence, and
the public demonstration of its ability to
operate and regulate its own affairs, by
the elimination from its Constitution of
sections whicli tend to bring about con-
ditions that in the main are uncalled for,
and certainly add nothing financially or
otherwise materially to the society itself.
" Do not evil, that good (real or imag-
ined ) may come out of it."
Finally, the S. A. F. O. H. need not fear
of bringing into its fold those who are
now oxitside thereof and adherents of
special societies, when it can show these
parties that it can give them as much,
and perhaps a little more for their
money than is now furnished by the spe-
cialty organizations. This it can assur-
edlydo; for in addition to the special
information that the S. A. F. <). H. could
supply, were it so inclined, the exhibi-
tious it could father, of specialties at
seasonable periods throughout the year,
the specialist, b,y membership in the char-
tered society, would have the privilege
of advancing the interests of his special-
ty,as well as open sesame to all other sec-
tions, one membership fee covering all
dues, as well as the advantage of the
general information contained in the
S. A. F. O. H. reports— something that
will at one time or other be found of im-
mense service to him. Junius.
Tbe Boston School Bouquets.
Editor Florists' Exchange:
In your issue of June 29, '01, I notice
that the city of Boston had revived tbe
old idea of presenting about three or four
thousand bouquets to the grammar
school graduates at theclosing exercises.
Couldn't you please give a more definite
explanation of why that is done? I am
looking for information on this subject.
The Board of I'Mucation in my town for-
bade the presentation of flowers thisyear,
and I expect to appear before the Board
and give them m.v opinion on the matter,
as soon as I can get together a few facts
for arguments. B. J.
New Jersey.
I do not know the exact origin of the
custom, and as the School Committee
rooms are now closed, I cannot get the
information. But for over 20 years, this
school festival, as it is called, has been a
regular feature here. It is held at Mec-
hanics' Building, either the last Saturday
in June, or the first one in July, when,
after the graduating exercises, the gradu-
ates of the various grammar schools are
invited to this festival, coming in bodies
from their respective schools.
The exercises open with speeches from
the Governor of the State, Mayor of the
city, or their representatives, and mem-
bers of the School Committee, after which
the children march across the stage, head-
ed by their respective masters, and are
each presented with a bouciuet, usually
by the Governor. Then ice cream and
cake are served to the children.
After this festival was inaugurated, for
some few years the high school graduates,
too, were included ; but as year by year
the classes grew larger it was decided to
confine the festival to grammar school
graduates only.
In regard to the bouquets, some
months previous to the festival, the com-
mittee having it in charge send out
notices to various florists, who have
done satisfactory work in thepast, invit-
ing them to meet the committee at an
appointed time, with a sample bouquet;
also a signed agreement, bearing a list of
the number and kinds of flowers the
florists guarantee each bouquet to con-
tain. The invitations for proposals state
the price to be paid by the City of Boston,
which at the present time is 4 0c. each
bouquet. The committee look over the
bouquets and proposals, and award their
contracts accordingly. At first the con-
tract for supplying the bouquets was
given to one florist, and then the price
was %\ each bouquet, but when the num-
ber of bouquets increased to about 1 ,800
or 2,000, the contract was divided in
two. Now some ten or fifteen men get
the work, in lots of from 100to400each.
When the bouquets are delivered at the
hall, the committee picks out one from
each florist's lot; laterthe bouquet is pull-
ed apart, and the flowers are compared
with the stock which the florist agreed to
put in each bouquet. In this way the
standard is kept up pretty high, and in
case of dissatisfaction with the work, the
proposals of those doing unsatisfactory
work are thrown out in other years.
Last year, for some reason, it was de-
cided to present a medal instead of flow-
ers at the festival, it being deemed Jidvis-
able to give the graduates something
more substantial than flowers, but this
arrangement proved unsatisfactor.v, and
this year the committee returned to the
old custom of distributing bouquets. In
all .3, .300 bouquets weresupplied,thecou-
tracts having been given to 1-t florLsts.

BuelnesB Dull.
This city is exceptionall.v quiet just
now; more people than usual are out of
town and business is very dull. The re-
tail stores have been doing a fair tran-
sient trade, but the supply of all flowers
is so limited that it is very difficult to fill
orders with satisfaction. .\11 i he promi-
nent stores had from 15'to 20 orders for
a funeral on Thursday, and it was a very
hard matter to get an assortment of
stock to fill these. Roses are very small.
.V few La France are now coming in,
being cut from the houses planted for
.Summer use, and with the Summer crop
of Kaiserin .\ugusta Victoria the supply
win now improve.
Henry F. Michell speaks in glowing
terms of the first shipment of Lilium
Harrisii received; the bulbs were good
and were packed in cocoauut fibre, mak-
ing a vast difference in freight charges.
Speaking of this material, Mr. Michell
says that for immediate shipment it is
excellent, but he cannot state yet how it
will answer for bulbs stored away. The
first shipment of mammoth freesias from
CaUfornia are also to hand, and are the
tjest received in several years. Mr. Michell
is now making extensive improvements
in the seed store by putting in a new sys-
tem of seed bins and drawers, and ex-
pects to have ever.vthing up-to-date as
to convenience, etc., by Fall.
IL Bayersdorter has been away for the

he lately bought in Europe.

18, the twelve bowlers making highest
scores, who had rolled through the tour-
nament, commenced on the final ten
games to decide the lucky six tor Buffalo.
The result of six games played shows
big work and some changes in position.
.Vn average of 162 was too low to secure
a place.
The concluding four games were rolled
on Tuesday, July 23, with the following
scores. This leaves .Vsmue, Forester,
Hauswirth, Winterson, Degnan and Fred
Stollery as the team, with Balluff,

Market Notes.
Trade has had quite a revival dur-
ing the past week, the demand being
principally caused by funeral work. .\t
times orders were turned down owing to
the scarcity of material.
The price.^ at retail vary somewhat,
but generally are iiuoted as follows;
Carnations, 25c. to ;:J.5c. per dozen; roses,
50c. to 75c.; American Beauty, $1 to
$2.50; sweet peas, 30c. to 50c. per 100.
'These latter have been very poor gener-
ally and scarce here, owing to the dry
hot winds of the past montli.
Here and There.
The growers are all working hard
at their planting. A recent visit at Pe-
terson Bros.' place found them in the
midst of Summer work. They showed a
fine batch of pot chrysanthemums in the
flelil. Tiii'.v are trying a. different method
of growing on tlieir young carnations.
Instead of planting them out as formerly
they have potted them in 4-inch pots,
and plunged them in frames. Peterson
Bros, were almost cleaned out entirelj'
in their bedding plants this Spring. They
had a large stock.
At the last regular meeting of the Ne-
braska Florists' .Society but three mem-
bers acknowledged their intention of
gfiiiig to Buffalo. The Omaha delegation
will probably be swelled by non-members
alrraii.v tiiere.
A. Douaghue, Sr., has left for Europe
and will probably get back in time to at-
tend the convention.
.\. Douaghue, Jr., at the present writ-
ing, is at Dixon's Beach, Lake Okoloji,
enjoying a season of fishing. J. B.
Clinton, Mo.
Ed Barnhart, tlie florist and nurser.v-
man, has lost many thousands of plants
by the dry weather and not even water-
ing his greenhouse plants can prevent
them succumbing to theterriflc heat, por-
tions of his greenhouse having a temper-
ature of 130 degrees. His raspberry and
blackberry crop was not only a tfital fail-
ure but the bushes have been killed down
to the ground. It is his opinion that the
roots of strawberry plants will hardly
revive from the baking they have had In
the earth.

perfectly satisfied with them.
Yours truly, F. BURKl.

Market Unchanged.
This week finds little or no change
in market conditions hereabouts. Ex-
cessive hot weather continues; as do the
dearth of business and the scarcity of
good stock. There is a better demand for
white and Souvenir du President Carnot
roses, for funeral work mostly. In car-
nations, too, the call is largely for white
and light pink colors, the best of which
now fetch $1.50 per 100, while the others
bring $1. Sweet peas are in good sup-
ply at 15c. to 20c. per 100. Lilies also
continue plentiful.
Round About.
The vacation period is now on in
earnest. Henry M. Robinson returned
last week after a stay of several weeks
at Jaffrey, N. H. His brother, Chas. E.,
starts next week, and is to be accompa-
nied by his bride. He will be married
Sunday, .July 28.
From present indications, Boston will
be well representd at the Buffalo conven-
tion, though at this time it is impossible
to state just how many are going.
Robert S., son of William W. Edgar, of
Waverly, has returned after two years'
profitableexperienceabroad with Sander
&Co.
E. N. Pierce & Sons, of Waltham, have
just completed extensive alterations on
several of their greenhouses.
N. F. McCarthy & Co. are to stage quite
a good sized exhibit of florists' supplies
at the convention. Among the other
Boston exhibitors are John C. Meyer «
Co. (who will show silkaline, threads and
twine) and Harlan P. Kelsey.

That Hot Wave.
How to keep cool is the question
now before the American people. At this
writing the thermometer stands at 92
degrees in the shade, and is still crawling
up. O ! for a good, hard thunder shower,
with a continuance of rain for about one
week; this would relieve suffering hu-
manity, and the carnations in the Held
as well.
Annual Outing.
The annual outing was a grand
success. At cool Coney we found the
dust about three inches deep and not a
spear of grass in sight. Tlie feature of
the sports was the bicycle race tor a silver
medal; this was won in a close finish by
Albert Gray, son of Walter J. Gray. The
bowling match was quite interesting, the
scores made individually were very large,
.but as I am afraid they would not look
;: well in print, I will spare the boys their
{embarrassment.
'iAth«vllle(N. C.)^Vant8 S. A. F. Convention"
J. W. C. Deake and aunt are in the city
to-day; they leave to-night for Toledo
and Detroit, thence by boat to the Rain-
bow City. And in this connection I want
to state that Mr.Deake has documents in
his possession that he will use at the con-
vention in competition with Milwaukee,
and will extend an invitation to the so-
ciety to hold its next annual meeting in
Asheville, N. C. He says he cannot offer
the society the great lakes, but he can
offer cool weather and plenty of moun-
tain dew. The great Biltmore, the
property of Vanderbilt, is situated here,
besides many other attractions.
C. J. Ohmer, with the writer, is now
taking his vacation. He left Saturday
tor Buffalo, by way of Detroit and the
Lakes. E. G. Gillett.

JExtreine Hpat Inducea Lethargy.
As long as this hot weather contin-
ues, no one seems to care to do any busi-
ness, and what trade is necessary, is
easily done by the one man left in charge,
while the others are on pleasure bent and
trying to keep comfortable.
A petition was circulated among the
florists to close their stores atl p. m.
one day each week, but they, apparently,
could not agree on a day. for T..T. John-
ston and O'Connor are to close their
places on Saturday, and the rest of the
downtown florists on Thursday.
Really good flowers are scarce. Sweet
peas are practically all destroyed by the
heat. Gladiolus and asters have made
their appearance; of the latter a much

larger quantity than in former years ia
grown both indoors and out.
John'A. Macrae's house of asters and
chrysanthemums never looked better.
John has his eye on some of the prizes
offered for chrysanthemunvg this Fall. N.
D. Pierce, Norwood, grows the largest
number of astersfor this market. He has
over 50,000 plants on his place, and
they certainly look promising.
The Rhode Island Greenhouses (Alex.
Miller) has been very successful with the
growing of palms for the market. One
house is filled with Kentia Belmoreana
in 4-inch pots, in splendid condition.
These and other varieties are in all stages
of growth, and find a ready market.
There will not be as large a delegation
going to the Buffalo convention this year
as formerly, and the popular route seems
to be via New York.
Farquhar Macrae and family intend
going to Nova Scotia tor the Summer.
M. A.
St. Louis.
A Bare Marliet.
Never before has this market been
so bare of stock that the florist can use.
Almost the only available flowers are
carnations, very poor in quality, at 75c.
to $1 per 100, and they are scarce at
that. A very tew poor asters bring the
same price, and a few short tuberoses
also the same figure. Roses are so poor
in quality as to be practically useless.
The only passable roses come to those
who take a regular supply from the large
concerns that grow regular Summer
roses; and the stock is not any too good.
The drought and unprecedented heat
are still with us. Nothing seems to
grow either outsideor in. Whatisgener-
ally considered good sun standing plants,
such as geraniums, etc., are burning up
where not watered freely, and at best
they make a poor showing. Hemlock
spruce and even California privet are
burned up in the parks. Carnations in
the field are very small, and some growers
are thinking of housing the plants as
being the only means of getting some
growth on them. Everything is suffering;
the knockout blows were received the
past few days when the thermometer
registered 106 to 110 degrees, with air
that seemed like as if it came trom an
oven.
Annual Picnic.
The florists' annual picnic was held
on the 18th, in a very pleasant spot. The
attendance, owing to the extreme heat,
was not as large as was expected, and
from some cause or other, those who did
attend were somewhat listless and disin-
clined to participate in the usual frolics
and games. Tlie young folks did consid-
erable dancing, which was the principal
amusement,and theelder onessataround
and talked crops, drought and heat. Al-
together, the day, under the circum-
stances, was very pleasantly spent.
Notes.
The long boiler shed and ends of
several greenhouses of W. E. Jordan
were burned last week. The exact loss
cannot be ascertained at writing.
The Bowling Club has disbanded as a
club; lack of interest and non-attend-
anceof members being thecause. Some of
those most interested in the game will con-
tinue to roll, and we shall probably have
a team at Buffalo, though not composed
of our best rollers. C. C. S.
Lynbrook, L. I.
Thomas Barnett, a florist of Lyn-
brook, L. I., has been missing since last
Saturday. Three weeks ago, while pick-
ing flowers, he was prostrated by heat,
and did not fully recover. He wrote
Saturday to David Fish, sou of Mrs. E.
A. Fish, who has a mortgage on his
plant, that he was ill and was going to
England to be absent two months.

state of Tradc-Hotteet.Weatlieron Record.
Thei-e is but little cliange to be no-
ticed. Yesterday, ou tlie top of the .\>i<li-
toriuni buikling, itsliowed a temperature
of 10:i degrees at 5 p. ni., with two to
lour degrees to the bad ou the streets
wliere mortals live; nosueh temperature
ever before known liere. At times, close
to tlie lake, we get a cooling breeze, have
even a pleasaut one to-day, but it [.'ene-
trates back into the country only ten
milesorso, often nottive. There is a spurt
of l)usine.ss in the morning at the whole-
sale houses to get what little stock comes
in, and then trade ends for the day. Sum-
mer dullness is truly upon us. Stock is
no worse than at my last report. Koses
small, with demand for what is even fair
(luality, which is not saying much. Good
American I'.eauty arenot to be seen. Bas-
sett's iManiuise IJtta, although small, is
clear in color, and fells as high as .Ameri-
can Heautv rose. Inside carnations still
holding out. Wietur Bros.' Flora Hill,
Triumph, .\merica and Sport, still com-
ing good tor the season, and they easily
clean out. Hot weather is affecting the
outdoor stock. Sweet peas are yet fair,
r.ongitlorum lilies sell as well as in the
Winter: it looks as though hereafter this
is to be a Summer tiower, thanks to
cold storage of bulbs. I^. auratum are
hardly as plentiful as other years. Some
native lilies are brought in, also other
hardy flowers, but the weather is hard
on these as on everything else.
A Wall from the Carnation Fields.
The debilitating heat and lack of
rain are beginningtotelloncarnations In
the field, and alarms are coming in from
all quarters. The early prospects, espe-
cially near the lake shore, gave great
promise up to a few weeks ago; now,
even these parts are suffering. Back
from the lake a few miles the story is dis-
astrous: no rain for weeks, then a shower
that the hot sun dried up the next day.
The plants will be going into the houses
small after all, and lots of plants are
ruined. Some growers make efforts at
watering, but where there are many
acres of carnations planted, this is not
easily done. A few, who, happil.v, have
but smaller numbers planted, near city or
Tillage water, have laid pipes over the
grcjund and are in better shape.
'Mr. Washburn, of Bassett & Washburn,
who have five acres planted out, depends
upon a dust mulch by keeping the culti-
vator going, and finds this a great help.
He wotdd like to begin to liouse, but
the heat is against this, and t^ peculiar
con<lition of the soilcalls for enough rain
to soften up the soil first. It looks this
.year as though field plants will be a valu-
able asset unless we get a soaker soon.
Vacation Outings.
Peter Reinberg, Adam Zender, I^aw-
rence flecker, Mathias and Peter I'^vart
and .John Muno, all Ridge growers, are
off this week for Milwaukee's carnival.
This coterie are emulating Commodore

terested in. A. Lange is gohigalso: P.

Men.
Mr. and Mrs. E. Buettner, of Park
Ridge, are out for a two weeks' fishing
trip to Eagle River.

Milwaukee florists are ambitious, and
are to knock at the door of the 8. A. F.

tion in their beautiful Citv liv the Lake

how about St. Louis in 11)0:1?

A. N. rierson has maile several addi-
tions to his plant the present season, the
most important. certainl.\' the most im-
posing, of which is probably a large
palm house 240 li.v *>."> feet, now holding
5,000 paUns, mostly kentias. It required
20 tons of glass to cover the house. Two
houses are devoted entirely to Adiantuni
Farleyense, holding now l.'i.OOO pots.
He has added another fine hou.se, .300 by
40 feet, to what is called the ''new
plant," and filled it with American
Beauty roses, l-'a.rl.v in tlie season he
built another liouse, 270 by 13 feet, for
lily of the valley. His carpenters are just
comjileting a large house 4uO .x 37 feet,
Avhich next week will he tilled flithchrys-
.■inthenmnis. Thiawillhold 33,000plants
and will bring the total numlicr of chrys-
antheinunis growing in the houses up to
100,000. .Next south of this house he i.s
building one 400 by lil teet, to be used
for propagating purposes. Mr. Pierson
is jireparing to raise more roses the com-
ing Winter than ever before, and he is
arranging also for an increase in carna-
tions. This liep.-irtmenl is to be under
the charge nf his son. W.allai-e It. IMerson,
who has in a lie carnation culture a study.
It now t.-ikes aliout noo.ooii Kipiare feel

Flowers have gone down to their
midsummer smallness, and while not
plentiful, they reach around.
As a window ilisplay, I'almer & Son
keep up a steady showing of water lilies,
pink and white', in a large tiat hohler of
water that fills the whole window bot-
tom. In appearance, it is refreshing.
Among the craft regret is felt at the ap-
plied result of light city appropriations
for park iiininteimnce. On this account
a large luiiiilier (-'."i we are told ) of em-
ployees has been laid off recently at Dela-
ware Park.
A dull meeting was hehl on Tues-
day evening, this week, and matters are
fairly beginning to bum in activity,
prompted by earnest desires that every-
thing going,' with the convention so near
at baud, will pass off to the approbation
of everyone.
The conditions decided on for award-
ing the Pain-American Cups, in the trade
exhibit, wHl be according to the follow-
ing scale of points:

BAY TREES
at the Pan-American Exposition,
la the center of oup largi exhibit at the Elmwood Avenue entrance. We should be glad to
dispose of these large specimen Bay Trees at the clowe of the E.^po8ition, and will sell thera
at a very r asonable price. We carry on hand constantly a large stock of Bay Trees of all
sizes, and also have a fine stock of all kinds of
PALMS and other DECORATIVE PLANTS
far Fall Trade,
and would advise customers to 'purchase early, while tiie plants caa be shipped by freight.
September and October shipments are advisable, because the plantH can then be forwarded
by fast freight with perfect safety and at much less expeuHe than by express.
We have particularly flue stocks of Pandanas Veltchll, Cycas Revolufa,
or Saffo Palm, Catanias, Boston Perns, Areca**, Kentlas, Azaleas,
trimmed *>>ramldal Box, « sparaKas Sprc^ ngerl and Plumosus Bianus,
etc , etc. We should like to call attention to some very large specimens of Lntauia
Itorbouica in Horticulture Hall, which we have on ^-xbibltton there. We should like to
dispose of these at the close of the Exposition, and will do so at a very reasonable figure.
We also offer fine stocks of
CRIMSON RAMBLER and HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES,
strong, field-grown plants, >
Ampelopsis Veitchii, Clematis, Japanese Fern Balls, Gloxinias, Tuberous Begonias, etc.

LILIUM HARRISII BULBS
See Our Exhibit in Original Cases at Convention.
We believe our XHREE I,EG BRAND of LlUum Harrleil and Longlflorum to
be freer from diseaBe than any other stock from Bermuda, because ^re pay a bonus
above tlie market to secure only tbe best.
To (growers wanting very early delivery, we quote as follows, In limited quantity, for
Immediate delivery :
S-7 Inch bulbs, 400 In a boi, S60.00 pfr 1000; »5 50 per 100
7-9 inch bulbs, 200 in a box, 8100.00 per 1000; Sll.OO per 100
LILIUM HARRISII AS USUALLY SOLD.
These bulbs are perfectly sound, fully up to measurement, and In all other respects appear
satisfactory, and are identically the same stock offered by other houses as "selected, * at
much higher figures. The difference between these goods and our best grade is, thei^e bulbs
are purchased in. the oppn market without any knowledge of the grower, whereas our
XHRHIS-L.EG BR.A3SD is grown purposely for us and selected while in flower.

BEtomil GLOIBE DE LOBemHE
The Best Christmas Blooming Plant in Existence.
A Mass of Delicate Clear Pink Flowers
Which cover the plant so as to almost completely mask the Toliage.
A QUICK seller that gives perfect eatiefactlon when rightly handled. We grew 4000 of
this magnificent plant Inst season and solil out clean at wbol-'snle prices ranging from
75 cts. t-ach for good 4-lnch pot stuff, to J2.00 .to $3.50 each for 5 inch and (» inch pot
stuff ; and J>3 00 to $5.00 and $6.00 each for large pans and hanging baskets, and nowhere
near filled our orders
Success in growing this plant depends on starting with perfectly healthystock. Realizing
the importance of this fact, we have paid xinrticu'Mr attention to growing our stock in
perfect health rather than in growing an enormous quantity of young plants. We have a
very large stock of stock plants; nevertheles'*, we shall not have as niJiny young plnnte to
offer as if we propagated everything closely. We have ready for immediate delivery
about three thousand plants, fo"r August delivery about five thousand plants, and for
September d*-ltvery about Ave thousand plantH, from 2 inch pots. All are In extra good
health and ran be grown by almost any florist who understands the ordinary care of
Begonias. Tliere le no better stock on the market and we doubt If there is any stock offered
that has received the care In growing and propaKatlng that we have given our plants.
The stock now ready, and August stork, will make good 5 Inch and 0 Inch plants, and
September delivery will' make good 5 Inch i)lants that will retail at $2.50 ano upwards.
Ae our offerings w'lll be llmiteil, It will he advisable fi»r our customers to place orders earlj —
In which case we can ship stock at the proper time for slilftlng.
Our price Is 915.00 per 100; S140.00 per 1000, for selected 2 inch stock.
In late September and during October we shall have a limited iiuantltv of fine plants
from 8V3 inch i)ot8 to offer at $35.00 per 100. These latter will be ready to shift Into
4Vi' inch to 5 inch pots.

Asheville. N. C— The Southern Nurs-
erymen's Association met recently at
the Battery Park hotel, one session be-
ing held In the morning and one in the
evening.
At the former the election of officers
resulted in the following choice: Presi-
dent, J. Van Lindley, of Pomona; vice-
president, Henry Chase, of Huntsville,
Ala.; secretary and treasurer, W. L.
Wilson, of New Chester, Tenn.
Mr. A. L. Brooke, of Topeka. Kansas,
recently headed a delegation of nursery-
men who called on Governor Stanley to
protest against his appointment of a
nursery inspector without i)reviousl.v
consulting the nurserymen. Mr. Brooke
declared that the Governor had misused
the nurserymen by creating such an
office and filling the same without con-
sulting them.
Nurserymen who areTraveling — W.
H. Heikes, of the Fluntsville, Ala., Nurser-
ies, is traveling in the East, being in New
York last week. J. H. Wallace, who
travels tor D. S. Lake and Geo. Peters &
Sons, two Western nurser.vmen, visited
Philadelphia this week. He came this
way to cool off as well as to look up
business. Mr. Mc Hutchinson, of New
York City, also made a stop over at
Philadelphia for a little fresh air. Thos.
B. .VIeelian, of Germantown, has gone
with his family and some friends to the
Delaware Water Gap for a brief visit, pre-
paratory to rolling up his sleeves for the
Fall campaign. .'^. Mendelson Meehan
has been running through the West, tak-
ing in on the way Buffalo, Chicago, De-
troit, Cleveland, etc., and expects to be
home again in a day or two.
Nursery Inspection in New York
Stat-' — The New York State Department
of Agriculture placed a nursery inspector
at Rochester, one at Geneva and one at
New York, as soon as the shipping sea-
son began in 1901, to look after the ship-
ments of nursery stock arriving in the
state at those principal points. As a re-
sult, several lots of stock were detained
and found slightly infested with tlie San
Jos^ scale. The infested stock was de-
stroyed, the accompanying stoi'k fumi-
gated and notice of the discoveries was
sent to the consignees. About the tirst
of June seven inspectors were assigned
to the divisions of the state and com-
menced the insi)ection of orchards. Up
to the *ith of .July the reports show that
326 orcliards, embracing 4,77(3 acres anfl
containing over 4."»6.000 trees, most of
wliich are of bearing age. were examined.
Less than oO of these orchai'ds show an
infestation of San Jose scale, some of
them very slight. Badly infested trees
have been destroyed, and many trees have
been spra.ved with kerftsene mixtures
with the expectation of keeping the scale
from spreading.
Texas Vurserymen's Association. —
A very interesting meeting was hehl,
July 23 to 26, at College Station, Tex.
There was a goodly number of mem-
bers present, and the following officers
were elected for the ensuing year; Presi-
dent, E. W. Kirkpatrick, McKinney,
Tex.; vice-president, B. L. Adams, Bon-
ham, Tex.; secretary and treasurer, Jno.
S. Kerr, .Sherman, Tex. Reports from a
large part of the State show a good
supply of stock on hand, but suffering
generally from a two mcmths' drought.
There is a prospect, however, of season-
able rains, which are expected, and now
lieginning to restore normal conditions.
There was a wide range of discussion on
important subjects. There is a growing
sentiment f'^r a decided difference lie-
tween wholesale and retail prices, with
a tendency toward better grades and
better prices generall.v, realizing, how-
ever, great difficulty in uniform co-
operation. Origination of new varieties,
adapted to our peculiar conditions, is
receiving much attention. "The Evolu-
tion of the Plum," by F. T. Ramsey and
J. B. Baker, was <liscussed. In Prof.
Malty's treatment of "Our Insect Friends
and Foes," arsenate of lead appears tar
superior to the old forms of the poison,
as it does not scorch the foliage. The
Transportation Committee reported no
perceptible progress in their efforts for a
reduction of tariff rates under the juris-
diction of the .Southwestern Rate Com-
mittee. J. S. Kerr.
Hardy Plants in Pots. — Nurserymen
and florists near large cities are good
judges of what stock is called for in the
Summer months, and one and all of them
say that hardy vines in pots take the
lead. Next to these come what may be
called Summer decorative plants, such as
pyramidal Arbor vitfe, yuccas, and other
hardy evergreens, to set out on the lawn
tor Summer. There is really not much
planting done, except in the case of pot
vines, which are largely used. After
Spring has passed, there is but little
planting done till Autumn, except in lim-
ited cases, as there are then but two or
three months intervening between it and
the season for Fall planting.
The trunk-making yuccas, such as glo-
riosa, recurva and aloifolia. can often
be sold in pairs, as they continue useful
for a great many years in tubs, and, if
desired that they be planted out, the.v
are iiuite hardy, except Y, aloifolia, which
should have a litrle protection. Another
plant becoming popular is the evergreen
Magnolia grandiflora. Its lustrous
leaves make it an object of much beauty,
almost as much so as the rubber plant,
and it has an advantage over the latter
in being hardy in these parts. These
plants alwHys sell best when in pairs, as
there is such a demantl for them ab ut
paths and near buildings, where uni-
formity is desirable.

BRIEFS FOR BUSY FLORISTS.
frKRANniMS.— An effort should be made
at tliis time to secure a good batch of
cuttings, using only such as are miider-
atel.Y well ripened; there is no use in
taliing the soft growths. li.v talking a
crop of cuttings now the smaller a' d
softer growths will mature aud provide
another good batch of cuttings before
frost.
Freesiab.— These should be planted as
soon as the.v are received. They may
either begrowniu pots (four or Hve bull)s
in a four-inch pot) or iu a shallow bench.
No covering of the pots or the bench is
necessary after the bulbs are planted.
Keep them as near the glass as is con-
venient, water sparingly until growth
starts freely, and avoid a high tempera-
ture.
ALTERNANTHERAS. — This is about the
best time to take a crop of cuttings
from these plants. Put the cuttings into
the sand bench iu the greenhouse and
keep them shaded and reasonably moist:
they will root quite easil.y. After they
are rooted the best wa.v to handle them
is to plant them close together in shal-
low Hats, where they ma.v remain until
Jauuary next, at which time they can be
potted up and grown right along.
Callas.— The old tubers that have
been laying dormant for some time
should be shaken out of the soil and
repotted. Before potting remove all the
small tubers that may have formed
around the sides and, if it is thought
desirable to increase the stock, these
may be planted iu flats quite close to-
gether, from which they may be potted
after growth has well started. These
small bulbs will be of a flowering size in
two seasons, and are worth saving if
one has the time and room to devote to
them. The dormant calla bulbs require
rich soil, containing about one-fifth of
well-rotted manure. A live or six-inch
pot is plenty large enough, and after
Ijotting they may be stood outdoors in
some shaded situation, or thi'y can be
put under a bench in the greenhouse, to
there remain until the growth shows
above the surface of the soil, when they
should then be given a light position
In a warm greenhouse.
Carnations. — The intense heat has
been hard on plants iu the field, and
even though they are not so large as
usual, we must get them on the benches
ae soon as convenient. Where the soil
conditions are too dry to handle the
plants safely, it is advisable to wait for
a rain, but if the soil be reasonably
moist, then house them right away. The
growth they will make in the green-
house from now on v. ill produce better
flowers than any growth that they may
make in the field after this time. .So
much has been written about benching
carnations that little on that subject
need be said here; the chief thing is to
have the roots exposed to the air for as
brief a time as possible, the sooner they
are in the bench after being lifted the
better for them. Have the glass shaded,
syringe several times a day, after the
plants are set, and do not have enough
ventilation on the house to cause a
strong current of air to blow through,
as that wilts the fidiage very quickly.
After the plants are established the
shading material should be taken off
the glass, so as to give all the light and
sunshine possible.

The 1901 Convention.
Since the adoption under a National
Charter of a new Constitution and By-
Laws, Ma.y 1,5, 1901, many letters and
remarks have appeared in these columns
in relation thereto, the latest being two
thoughtful letters which were published
on pages 782 and 783 of last week's
issue, all of which, we trust, will have
had due consideration. With nearly all
the writers, Article V of the new Con-
stitution furnishes the text for discussion.
It is not our purpose here to analyze
the raison d'etre which may have guided
or InHiieuced our correspondents in
reaching the conclusions arrived at by
them, as Article V will probably be fully
discussed in Convention, it being, as a
whole, the most important incorpor-
ation into the new By-laws and Consti-
tution.
Every member of the S. A. F. O. H.
desires to see the organization trul.v
great and representative, and a power
for good on behalf of the florists' indus-
try, and how best this may be accom-
plished is not to be solved in an hour or
at one Convention. On the contrary,
careful legislation, wise counsel aud
judicious leadership will he requisite for
many years to come before this most de-
sirable cousummatiou and position may
be said to liave been attained.
As a preliminary to a successful out-
come, therefore, our strongest advice to
delegates is to make careful choice of
their presiding officer for 1902. Select a
gentleman approved forhis fidelit.vtothe
Society, a man of known busiuess abil-
ity and tact. Whilst against all pre-
cedent in our organization, The Klok-
ISTB- Exchange would urgently advise
that when a strong, progressive man
has once satisfactorily filled the chair
it would be policy to maintain that
lucumLient for as long a time as his
period of usefulness to the Snclety was
made manifest. A wise proviso calls on
the Directors to serve for tnree years, and
the Secretary, another most important
official, practically serves during his
lifetime, the permanency of that office
being recognized as necessary to the
welfare of the Society, hence we have
reason to back 'our argument in favor
of more than one term for presiding
officer. As it is now the President of
our .Society is scarcely familiar with
the duties of his office than he is shelved.
The S. A F. O. H. is no longer in
swaddling clothes. Under a National
Charter it must press forward and on-
ward in order that it become truly
worthy of the great franchise which has
been conferred upon It. The establish-
ment of .Sectious within the .Society,
covering specialized industries not yet
cared for by distinct organizations may,
and probably will jjrove a wise pre-
caution. Why not try tlie exjjeriment
before losing time in the endeavor to
reclaim those which already exist'/
But the greatest work to be accom-
plished liy the S. A. F. O. H. is on lines
following national development, and
where theinfluenceof so large and homo-
geneous a body, properly directed, is
bound to carry weight.
The S. A. F. O. H. should be in evidence
all the year through ; it should maintain
from now on permanent quarters.
As the body is composed almost entirely
of tradesmen, it is the solution of the
trade questions of the day which will
attract the greatest interest. Questions
of unifoimit.v in prices, in sizes and in
quality, both as to wholesale and retail
trade, could be profitably acted upon by
committees, . whose conclusions might
tend to general observance; it would
mean fair prices, it would help to do
away witli cut-throat competition.
Practicall.v, every large industry has or-
ganized or is organizing for self-pro-
tection. What is possible in one line is
possible in another.
Could not a committee of our best
business men work out the problem'.' If
not, there are specialisis in this line, men
who have organized other industiies
presenting just as difficult phases as
ours, whom the Society could employ.
Exhibitions, the lite of the trade, have
of late years not ruled as financial suc-
cesses. It would be well within the
work of the S. A. F. O. H. to have the
causes thereof investigated by a Com-
mittee of that body so that the causes of
failure may be understood and thus pro-
vided against. It should be possible to
maintain one or more successful ex-
hibitions annually in ever.y large city; it
is possible, if gone about in the right
way. The .Society cannot control these,
but it can greatly assist, and its encour-
agement and moral support would be
of substantial service.
Much good work has been done by the
Society, but "the more you do the more
you are called upon to do." We have no
fear of rust in this instance, and we are
of those who believe that under the
stimulus of its National Charter the
future annals of the S. A. F. O. H. wUl
be bright records of great deeds accom-
plishetl — the results of concentration and
energetic action in its chosen field.
New York.
This is the season of discontent in cut
flower circles, supplies come in irregular-
ly, and so do the buyers; the seat of dis-
content being in the fact that the buyers
are not around when the supply comes
in and vice versa.
It is the general opinion among dealers
that the month of July has been very
satisfactory, so far as the selling of in-
door flowers is concerned. The extremes
of weather we have experienced since the
beginning of Sjiring has resulted in
inferior croi s of flowers from the open
grouud, this having materially helped
the sale of all indoor blossoms.
A novel feature of the market this
week is the quantity of new crop roses
that are coming in. In the rose-growing
district of New Jersey there is an idea
prevailing that roses will bring three
cents and upwards each, consequently
we see hundreds of jjoor, little, short
stemmed flowers that should never be
sent here at all. Good roses will, of
cour.se, bring a price, aud with that
grade of flowers the dealers have no
iiifliculty in clearing out at quoted
figures.
The demand for carnations has fallen
off considerably. There are not so many
coming in, however, so that no great
accumulations occur. Asters are be-
coming more plentiful, the quality also
is improving, though there is still a
dearth of really first-class flowers.
White kinds liave been in good demand,
owing to their desirability for design
work. Sweet peas are not up to the
quaUty of a week ago, good blooms are
still in fair demand when obtainable.
Lily of the valley is in limited supply
and realizes good figure.
Lilium auratum is almost the only Hly
at present to be had, the L. longitlo-
rums have had a loug season, but they
seem to be over at last. The Summer
flowers of these have proved good sel-
lers, and we shall, no doubt, see a good
many cold storage bulbs grown another
year, as it was a noticeable fact that,
as the Summer advanced, the price of
the lilies went gradually uiiwards.
Gladiolus are now quite plentiful, as
also are rudbeckias, helianthus, cen-
taureas, *^c. A few dahlias are seen on
the market, occasionally, and tuberoses
are also arriving in small (luantities.
Asparagus .Sprengeri is almost a drug,
there seeming to be very little use for
this greeuery in hot weather. Maiden-
hair fern also moves very satisfactorily.
Jottings.
It is Confidently exijected that
some of the bowling tinpliics offered at
the coming tournainent in liul/alo will
be brought to this city. Our team will
be made up as follows: .). Thielmau,
president; F. H. Traendly, captain; T.
J. Lang, A. .S. Burns, Patrick O'Mara
and F. Lentz; substitutes, W. H. Sie-
brecht aud John Donaldson.
On Thursday, August 1, an impor-
tation of French bulbs, amounting to
313 cases was received at Vanghau's
Seed Store, the cargo consisting chiefly
of Roman hyacinth bullis.
John Birnie, West Hoboken, is tearing-
down two houses and will build one
large house on the site. The new struct-
ure will be 30 x IHO feet.
Club members who received tickets for
the outing to Locust Grove and did not
attend, need not refrain from sending the
price of the tickets to the Chairman of
the Outing Committee, Mr. A. H. Laug-
jahr, if they feel so disposed.
Thos. Miller is again back at his post
in W. F. Sheridan's store after a two
weeks' vacation spent at Steiihensville,
N. Y.
Alfred Bunyard will sail for England
on August 7 by the .St. Paul.
W. F. Sheridan is having the interior
of his store repainted and decorated.
Henry Hurrell, member of the firm of
Larger iS: Hurrell, Summit, N. J., has
been on the sick list for several weeks,
but is now recovering.
Mr. W. Plumb was taken seriously ill
on Monday, threatened with appendi-
citis. Prompt medical service afforded
relief, however, and he is recovering
nicely.
Mr. A. Shepard, who is with J. B.
Murdoch & Co., Pittsburg, Pa., was a
visitor this week.
Philadelphia.
Club Meeting.
A meeting was held on Tuesday
last. Convention matters were talked
over and arrangements made for future
essays. At the September meeting a
review of the Convention will be the
subject, taken up by different members
selected from various branches of the
business, and this should prove very in-
structive and interesting.
Tlie Bowling Team
Has been selected as follows : Moss,
Connor, Kift, Gibson, Anderson and
\Vestcott, with Starkey and Graham as
substitutes. As five of the team are old-
timers at Convention bowling, they
should give a good account of themselves.
Cut Flowf-r Notei.
A fair amount of business is going
on for this time of year; the quality of
cut flowers is better than for two weeks
past. Edwin Lonsdale and C. W. Cox
are sendingin new crop American Beauty,
which are selling at f 2.00 per doz. A
few fair La Franceare now arriving, also
Kaiserin in good amount. Asters are
now plentiful, buttheinajority of flowers
are poor, being very small with bad
formation ; $1 .50 per 100 is obtained for
a few, the rest go for what they can
bring, according to demand.

Market Conditions.
Business conditions remain un-
changed, all is quiet, and the market
fairl.y well stocked with a second-grade
stock generally. In good roses. Beau-
ties, Kaiserins and Carnols are the only
ones to be had, but the demand for them
is not heavy. Carnations have short-
ened up and, as a rule, are poor and
move slowly at SI per 100. Asters have
become quite plenliful and do pretty
well; the white ones being most in de-
mand, at $1.50 |)er 100; the colored,
however, move slowly at 75c. to $1 per
100. Sweet peas continue in fair sup-
ply; gypsophila, achillea, also gladiolus
and lilies are in pretty good supply, but
for these the demand is neither steady
nor heavy. Tuberoses are coining in
aud are being used iJrincipally in funeral
work.
Gossip and News.

no more serious damage was done.
Kidder Bros., of Lincoln, lost their
barn by fire Sunday night. The damage
outside of the building amounted to
quite a loss of hay with which the barn
had also just been filled; the horses were
taken out in safet.v. Paul E. Kichivagen
bought the place at Needham, which he
has been occupying for some time, at
auction ou Tuesday of last week, and
from what I hear, has made a lucky
strike. F. J. N.

A meeting was held July 25, President
J. W. Smith in the chair.
A communication from the Depart-
ment of -Agriculture, through Mr. Legg,
in regard to the digging wasp, "Megastus
specious," which has been more numer-
ous this year, giving many unusual
trouble and annoyance. A discussion
followed as to the best methods of
exterminating the same. Mr. Robert
Donald, of Yonkers, was elected a mem-
ber, and Mr. George Middleton, of Tarry-
town, was pro]5osed. An essay , prepared
and read by Mr. McFarlane, on "Small
Fruits" was then read. An active dis-
cussion followed, many taking part,
and a vote of thanks was extended Mr.
McFarlane for his paper. The schedules
for the November show were then dis-
tributed.

The Pullen Matter.
We are informed by the Post Office
Inspector at Wilmington, Del., Mr. Wm.
J. Maxwell, that he has paid out money
to certain parties in settlement of their
claims against the PuUens (a list of
which payments he sends us), in con-
nection with the recent case against the
latter.

OUR SUPPLEMENT.
Grouping: of Succulents.
It is rare to see a collection of succu-
lents, largely of cacti, arranged so artis-
tically as those represented in this week's
supplement. The cactus, as a rule, is
rarely seen in bedding plans, partly, per-
haps, because seldom grownin collections
large enough to permit of it, and, further,
that there are hut few places where cacti
would be suitable. Where the plants in
the picture are located, seems to us an
ideal place k r them. A carriage drive
skirts the grass, as shown in the illustra-
tion. Thenfora background is the statue
erected by the Israelites of America, in
ISto, at the time of the Centennial Expo-
sition, to commemorate religious liberty.
Back of the whole are massed tall peren-
nials, shrubs and trees.
Cacti make excellent outdoor plants in
Summer. It is in theirgrouping, mingled
with other succulents, which gives them
their value. The various echeverias, se-
dums, euphorbias and cotyledons are
grouped for color effect in a pleasing way.
.\lternanthera8 are also there, in various
shades of color, as well as the pretty lit-
tle blue flowered plant, Klinia repens.
The tall angular looking cactus, appear-
ing in some force, is what is known here
as Cereus peruvianus. It reaches a great
height, if undisturbed. On the estate of
the late George \V. Carpenter, of German-
town, one of these cacti, in his cool
greenhouse, was 30 feet Ir.gh. There are
also in the collection some opuntias,
mammillarias and echinocactus.
What makes these plants so desirable
is their indifference to the heat of Sum-
mer. So long as the soil is warm they
do not object to water, but they do not
demand it. While a collection like the
'one shown re(iuires water in Summer,
because of containing alternantheras
and a few other non-succulents, it would
not otherwise do so, save what it re-
ceived in a natural way.
In the rear of the cactus beds will be
observed pampas grass, castor oil plants,
eulalias, bamboos, and an assortment of
tall-growing hardy perennials and hardy
shrubs.
Next, and certainly not the least of the
combination of attractions, is the lovely
work of art, the statue to Religious Lib-
erty, which crowns the floral arrange-
ment in its front.
Imme<liately behind the statue, with
its leading brancli just showing, is a
thrift.v.voung Maiden-hair tree,Sali8buria
adiantifolia, and it is flanked by two
specimens of Rivers' purple beech, while
on the extreme left is a young tree of the
Ku'lreuterla paniculata.
These beds, witli the statue, are justly
deemed one of the chief attractions of the
park. The site is on the southeast side
of Horticultural Hall, overlooking the
Schuylkill river. The statue contains the
following inscription:
Religious Liberty
Dedicated
To The
People of The United States
By The
Order B'nai B'rith
And
Israelites of America.
And at the base, at present hidden by
foliage:
In Commemoration
Of The
Centennial Anniversary
Of
American Independence.
A statue of this kind, erected by the
people named, can but awaken a love of
his country in the breast of every one
who looks upon it. The people who
erected it have found a home here, such
as had been denied them in aim fist every
other country on earth. To those who
it most closely interests, fancy depicts
them with their thoughts carried back
to their native land, where, as the poet
says:
"The wild gazelle on Judah's hills
Exulting yet may bound,
And drink from all the living rills
That gush on holy ground;
Its airy step and irlorious eye
May pass in tameless transport by."
Joseph MEtHAN.
St. Louis.
Frightfnl AVeatlier Conditions Still
Prevailing.
Situation as regards heat and
drouth still unchanged. Stocks very
scarce and quality low. Grades that
generally would be thrown away, in
fact, that any grower would be asham-
ed to send out, are being used as the
best too be had. No change for the
better seems near at hand. Every-
thing will, no doubt, be scarce and poor
until quite late in the season. Carna-
tions in the field, though small, look
remarkably well, considering what
they have gone through
Poor Outlook for Nurs. ry Stock.
The drouth and heat will prove a
heavy loss in nurseries, almost all of last
spring's planting, even after seemingly
quite well established and a good
growth made, have died. Evergreens,
except pines, are all badly burned, and
some totally; the worst being Hemlock
spruce, followed by Norway and the
better varieties of Arborvitae, Reti-
naspora, etc. C. C. S.

All Aboard for Buffalo and the Convention!
A New Yorker at Buffalo.
TliM West Shore R. R. will, as usual,
do everytliing In its power lookincr to
the eomfortof the ilelepcates. (!ity Pass-
enger Agent Louis Hafuer, who is to ae-
ciiuipanj the party to Buffalo, is well
known to club members, with whom he
is a great favorite, on account of his
many likeable qualities, anil he will see
to it that the good name possessed by
the West Shore R. R. for everything that
makes for convenience and comfort in
railway travel, will be maintained. The
dinner to be served by the company will
be found well worth the money asked
for it— SI.
Tiie running time of the special will
compare most favorably with that of
other lines, and passengers will be land-
eil in Buffalo in time for supper and a
litle rest after their long journey, before
retiring to recuperate for the duties of
the morrow. There is every indication
that we shall have the largestdelegation
for the Convention iu years, and those
intending to be present should join the
crowd and travel by the West Shore
special, as stated.
The stranger visiting Buffalo these
days is not long after arriving within
the city before he is made aware that,
foot, horse and dragoons, the town is
I'an-American. Evidences of the Ex-
position are everywhere, from the side
shows on Main Street to the multiplicity
of souvenirs of tlie great occasion that
on all sides meet the gaze.
An unusual number of hotel, boarding
and lodging house runners are encoun-
tered just outside the station precincts;
but those fortunate enough to have had
their accommodations secured in ad-
vance can afford to pass these strenuous
solicitors unheeded, and, by the way,
thHt leads me to s ly that 1 met Chair-
man Adnms, of the Hotel Committee of
the Buffalo Florists' Club, and he com-
plains of the tardiness of the great
majority of the delegates in not securing
quarters before hand. He will have no
trouble in placing everybody, but when
all "speak at once" some must of ne-
cessity feel impatient iu having to bide
their turn.
The Larkin Apartments, where the
New York delegation is to be domiciled
during its stay in the Convention City,
are located in .Johnson's Park, just off
the fashionable Delaware Avenue. The
building is new, well equipped with all
modern improvements, and every one
will be made to feel at home by the
genial proprietor and his wife. The
apartments are handy to Convention
Hall, also to the cars running to the Ex-
position. The Philadelphia and Chicago
contingents will each make its head-
quarters not far from the New Yorkers.
Chris. Besold, of Minneola, N. Y., his
wife and daughter, are here for a few
days, but will return before the Con-
vention.
1 mnde a one-day trip to the Pan-
Amedcan Exposition on Tuesday last,
to ascertnin how much one could "do"
in that time. Entering at the Elmwood
Avenue gate, I was able_ to follow the
best horticultural displays, as outlined
in V'lui's article in last week's issue, and
it is astonishing how much time one can
save, and the extent of his observations,
by following out some well-devised plan.
I was fully convinced, from a cursory
glance, that the outside horticultural
work forms one of the prettiest and
most attractive portions of the Ex-
position. The time of my visit was
shortly after a refreshing shower, and
everything looked bright and beautiful.
There is much to entertain the Horist,
anil several hours could be protltably
and interestingly spent.
Inside the Horticultural Building some
grand exhibits of fruit are made. One
misses here, under the great dome, the
cascade seen at Chicago and the " moun-
tain" adown which it dashed and
foamed, with its bare shoe boxes abut-
ting here and there, to disclose its ident-
ity, and the mountaineer's hut at its
crest — but its absence causes no pangs of
regret, although we should have liked to
see "ornamental horticulture" more
fully represented within this imposing
and beautiful structure. This week the
remnants of what was, I understand, a
most char rdug and educational display
of sweet peas, were observable, also
the harbinger of what promises to be a
most Interesting exhibition of gladioli
during Convention week, wherein new
hybrids by Groff, Cowee and others will
play a part. Some of the lighter-colored,
unnamed seedlings shown this week are
very promising.
I was also able to look through, not
closely, of course several of the most
important buildings, and to pass along
the Midway, with its numerous attract-
ions. There is a whole barrel of fun to
be had in listening to the various Midway
"barkers." Outside the "Indian Con-
gress, " near Horticulture Building, one
fellow was so solicitous about the health
of his audience that he besought them to
draw closer to him lest the sun "make
freckles on their feet. "
Towards 8.15 p. m. came the electrical
illumination, and any attempt to de-
scribe it would fall very far short of the
reality. I stood facing the electric tower,
at the extreme end of the esplanade,
and the impressive sight witnessed is
not likely soon to fade from memory.
On the first inkling of the illumination
the bands play the soul-stirring strains of
the "Star Spangled Banner," then,
amid the echoing cheers that proceed
from thousands of throats, the great
light goddess Electricity gradually en-
twines with her fiery garlands, dome,
and minaret and tower, which luridly
silhouette against the darkening sky;
the beholder stands entranced, delighted,
dumbfounded and vainly asks the ques-
tion, " What is manV "

Buffalo Convention Notes.
Interest grows, if an.vthing, somewhat
more keen as the time for the Convention
draws near. An active meeting was
held on Tuesday evening. Reports gen-
erally denoted pleasing progress, and
man.v details were settled on.
It is intended to start for Niagara
Falls on Friday at 9. a. m., by steam
cars, most likely via Lehigh Valley R. R.
Local club members will be entitled to
two extra entertainment tickets, more,
if desired, to be paid for.
The trade exhibit now includes the
names of 56 firms and an engagement of
over ii,500 square feet. Manager Keitsch
will be located at the Hall on and after
Friday.
Bowling game matters were reported
on favorably by Chairman Bralk, of the
Committee on Sports, who announced
the shells needed for the prize shoots
would be provided by the Buffalo Flor-
ists' Club. Several more individual prizes
have been donated in bowling and
shooting by local genilemen.
W. A. Adams, chairman of the import-
ant Hotel Committee, was unable to be
present, owing to illness.
J. D. Carmody and Walter Mott were
present at the meeting, and, in his usual
humorous vein, the former regaled the
meeting with some of his refreshing
stories.
A meeting will be held onl^Saturday
night at tlie Convention Hall.

By West Shore Railroad to Buffalo.
As the New York Florists' Club has
decided to travel to Buffalo by this
route, in order to attend the conven-
tion of the S. A. F. & O. H., a few
facts pertaining to the scenery to be
viewed and the splendid service of this
railroad, will not be out of place here.
By this route the best view of the
grand and beautiful scenery of the
Hudson River is obtained, and the fin-
est and richest regions and cities of
the Empire State are passed in review.
No line is more comfortable or offers
greater inducements to the traveler.
The track is stone-ballasted and hard
coal is burned in the locomotives, so
that there is a minimum of dust and
cinders; the cars are new and fitted
with every convenience; the finest of
Pullman and dining cars accompany
the through trains, and the stations
are models of comfort and conven-
ience.
The route begins in New York City
by crossing the Hudson to Weehawken,
at the foot of the majestic Palisades.
Revolutionary recollections enliven the
charming ride through New Jersey in
the rear of the Palisades. Twenty-five
miles above Weehawken the Hudson is
reached again by a dash through an
arched gateway cut in the ridge of
Hook Mountain; and, with the sudden-
ness of a change in a kaleidoscope, the
green valleys are left behind, and there
spreads before and beneath the eye the
glistening blue plain of the great river
at Haverstraw. The railway is high
above the water, and the whole gay
scene unfolds beneath the eye like the
unrolling of a map.
Then come the Highlands of the Hud-
son. The river is narrow, deep and
swirling. Huge buttresses of rock con-
fine it and rise one behind the other
supporting a lofty range of hills, which
present themselves more grandly from
the West Shore than from the eastern
side of the river. Ringing walls of
rock slope steeply up from the line,
and bear upon their crests the remains
of the Highland forts which defended
this pass long ago against British ag-
gression. In the midst of the gorge is
West Point and the United States Mil-
itary Academy, which may be well
seen.
For a hundred miles the best scen-
ery of the Hudson is now enjoyed.
Cornwall and Newburg are passed,
Poughkeepsie, with its marvelous
bridge, comes into view, and just
above it is Hyde Park, the country
residence of New York's multi-million-
aires and others, whose "cottages" cost
a million or two, and then Kingston is
reached.
The azure peaks of the Catskills hold
the eye and fascinate the imagination
as the train rushes on north, past Sau-
gerties and Catskill, and their alpine
beauty, is not lost sight of until the
more rounded summits of the Helder-
berg hills, northwest of them, come
into view. This is after the train has
turned away from the Hudson and
sweeps westward toward the valley of
the Mohawk.
After Ravena the valley of the Mo-
hawk is steadily ascended. This finest
river of Central New York flows
through a broad fertile valley, where
modern methods of farming have fol-
lewed the thrift of the early Dutch set-
tlers, and have turned the whole valley
into a model of intensive agriculture
and dairying. The river itself, how-
ever, flows in a rocky channel with an
abundant tall. At Syracuse the whole
interesting process of salt manufac-
ture is under view, as the train skirts
the low shores of Lake Onondago,
west of the city.
The West Shore line passes directly
through New York State's great cities,
and a long string of flourishing and
pretty villages between them, and gives
the traveler an excellent view of each
of them. Clyde, Lyons and Newark
are important towns between Syracuse
and Rochester— the third largest of the
cities of the Empire State, and one of
the most attractive from every point of
view. It is one of the greatest milling
and manufacturing cities in the whole
country, and at the same time is noted
for its educational institutions, and the
beauty of its streets and residences.
A very fair idea of this fine city is ob-
tained as one goes through it on the
elevated roadway of the West Shore
route.
We.=!t of Rochester, a level highly
cultivated region, dotted with wealthy
and interesting towns and villages,
stretches over the hundred miles sepa-
rating the city from Buffalo, where the
West Shore trains come to a halt in
the Union Station, where connections
may be made, under cover, for any
road leading out of Buffalo — "The Queen
City of the Great Lakes and the Home
of the Pan-American Exposition.
Grand Rapids to Buffalo.
The all-engrossing topic is. Are you
going to the convention? We will
probably leave here 5.30 p. m. Monday,
arriving at Buffalo 6.40 a. m. Tuesday.
May the meeting be a glorious one!
The excursion to Niagara Falls on Fri-
day, instead of to the Exposition, was
a wise move, and should be appreciated
by all. Those who have signified their
intention of going are: Henry Smith,
Alfred Hannah, Eli Cross, Chas. Chad-
wick, Wencil Cuerkuski, superintendent
of parks; James Scholes and wife and
George F. Crabb, wife and son, and J.
A. Bessinger and wife, of Lansing, will
Join the delegates at that city.
G. F. Crabb.
Louisville to Buffalo
C. H. Kunzman. Wm. Mann. John
Bohrmann, H. Walker, Jacob Schulz,
A. R. Baumer are among those who
have announced their intention of at-
tending the convention at Buffalo.
J. S.
New York to Buffalo.
Nearly 125 persons have signifled
their intention of going to the Con-
vention at Buffalo by the New York
Florists Club's special train, leaving
on Monday morning, August 5. This
is a grand showing for New York and
also proves clearly that the Club made
no mistake when the West Shore Rail-
road was chosen as the route to travel
by.
The Transportation Committee held
a meeting Tuesday afternoon and per-
fected arrangements. President W. F.
Sheridan and Treasurer Charles B.
Weathered have taken charge of sup-
plying refreshments for the travelers
whilst en route. The past experiences
of these gentlemen along this line en-
sures this part of the program being
faithfully carried out.
The Transportation Committee has
worked unremittingly to bring together
such a large delegation and the ar-
rangements for travel, as set forth in
the circular sent out by the railroad
company to the Club's members, will
be adhered to. The last Franklin st.
boat leaves at 8.45 A. M., and the last
42d St. boat at 9 A. M. sharp. A solid
vestibuled train will be provided and
one car will be reserved for ladies. Mr.
Louis Hafner, passenger agent of the
West Shore road, will accompany the
crowd to Buffalo. Mr. Hafner will be
found unsparing in his efforts where
the comfort of passengers is concerned
and all who travel by this train are
assured of a pleasant and enjoyable
journey to Buffalo.
Late comers can secure their tickets
on the trains; fare, $10.70, on the cer-
tificate plan.
Boston to Buffalo.
Among those who have signified their
intention of going to the Convention
from Boston are W. J. Stewart, F. R.
Mathison, P. Welch, E. J. Welch, M. H.
Norton, Lawrence Cotter, Warren Ewell.
Mr. Stewart has also obtained a eutlici-
ent number of delegates from neighbor-
ing cities to fill a special car. The party
is to leave Monday evening, August .5,
and is due to arrive in Buffalo on Tues-
day morning in time for the opening
session of the Convention.
F. J. N.
Philadelphia to Buffalo.
The delegation from this city will
leave the Reading Terminal depot at
10:30 a.m., on Monday, and go via
Readingand Lehigh Valley R R's. Tickets
will be on the certificate plan, f9.25
going and $3.09 returning. Delegates
can obtain their tickets at 13th and
Chestnut Streets office. Chairman West-
cott has made ample arrangements for
the comfort of all; there will be special
cars on the train, and a good supply of
provisions carried. David Rust.
St. Louis to Buffalo.
The principal topic among the florists
is the Buffalo trip, and most of the
following will answer to roll call there;
Fred Muirhourst, wife and sister; F.
C. Weber, wife and family; J. J.
Burke. Geo. Windier, Theo. Miller, C.
C. Cauders, J. W. Kunz, C. A. Keuhn,
A. Y. Ellison, Mr. Kruse, R. F. Tescon.
Jno. Connon. Several others may go
and, owing to certain business, some
of these listed may not, as their affairs
are in an unsettled shape.

Baltimore to Buffalo.
The Baltimore Florists will be repre-
sented by a goodly contingent at the
Convention; they will travel on special
ears.
E. A. S.
Buffalo.
There is little of interest going on. An
early 6.30 p. m. closing hour is in force
among the retail stores. Flowers can
hardly be called good just now, owing
to rather warm and dry weather;
though relief from the latter has been
brought about somewhat by recent
showers. Some early Convention attend-
ants are on the ground, noticeably Ale.^t.

Maps of Buffalo and Niagfara Falls.
At the Florists' Exchange stand, in
the Trade Exhibit, at Buffalo, dele-
gates will be presented with a copy of
the clearest, handiest and best map of
Buffalo which it was possible for us
to obtain. The map is a pocket one,
4x8 inches, and shows on one side the
most important points in that city and
all routes leading to the Exposition
grounds. The other side is a correct
map of Niagara Falls and river from
the Exposition grounds, to as far down
as Lewiston. This will be found of
very convenient reference on the Fri-
day, on which day the delegates are to
be taken to Niagara Falls by the Buf-
falo Florists' Club.
$10.00 for Some Body.
A Prize for guA88ing Score of Buwlera,
A prize of $10 will be given by
McKellar & Wiutersou to the persou
guessing the number of pins made by the
bowler making the highest individual
score in any one game at the bowling
tournameut, to be held at 9 a. m., yatur-
day August 10, at Buffalo. Shoulil more
than one person guess the tiumber of
pins correctly the above prize will be
divided pro rata among those so guess-
ing. This contest will be open to all
berths and satisfy himself with less ex-
pensive dinners and luncheons. A good
meal can be had Iiere now for 2f>c. as in
an.v other city, and everything else in
proportion. Cenerally speaking, the
rates of living for transient visitors are
normal, in spite of all the usual rumors
about greed and extortion. The exercise
of ordinar.v wit and common sense is all
that Is necessary to avoid the sharksand
other creatures of prey who have natur-
ally drifted hither in search of the ver-
dant and the gullible. The local govern-
ment and the Exposition offlciaTs have
gone to the utmost limit of their powers
and capacities in insuring the safety,
comfort, anri satisfaction of visitors. No
one could do more.
"As to a plan of action for a three-
days' visit, a few suggestions ma.v be
useful. The first half-day may well be
spent in making a round of the Exposi-
tion grounds, getting general views,
Ideas, and impressions. You will be sure
of these, then, if something should hap-
pen to prevent your doing any more, and
it will be easier for you to map out the
remaining time to advantage. As the
grounds are only one mile long by half a
mile wide, it is not difflcult to get a good
grasp of the salientand external features
of the show In a few hours of rapid ob-
servation. This tour will afford a view
of such beautifulandmarvelouscreations
as the Court of the Fountains; the mag-
nificent stretch of the Esplanade, with
its s rrounding chain of lakes, fountains,
bridges, and arches; the plaza by the
Sunken Gardens, and the electric foun-
tain at North Hay.
"After this you may begin to specialize
50 bunches in distinct variety, and
largely named.
Charles C. Fritz, Titusville, Pa.,
showed 37 bunches, labeled, "Grown
from Burpee's Seeds." A nice unnamed
assortment.
A Gladiolu. Exhibit.
Though ahead of the listed dates
for Gladiolus displays, one lot is here —
"Groff's (Simcoe, Ont.) Hybrids." Over
75 good-sized vases of them are placed
on Ave tables, arranged about the cen-
tral plant group in Horticultural Build-
ing. The novelty of character of the
varieties shown is truly surprising. The
lighter white and yellow ground tinted
blooms are "throated" in many varia-
tions of flaked and striped effects that
in some cases approach close to
blotches. The various dark shades in-
clude carmines new to us, scarlet and
velvety maroons and crimsons.
But what are new to us, in blue
shades, attract the strongest in their
novelty, being as purple as the deepest
shades seen m Sweet Peas or Iris, but
in a texture most velvety. There are all
shades of purple and blue, running into
the lightest lavender, the throats and
lower petals striped and lined in end-
less shades and markings. In its class,
such varieties incline to the bewilder-
ment as to possibilities of the future
in this flower.
Sundry Other Exhibit!.
Tliough not yet having assumed
full flowering development, the Peter
Henderson Co.'s several acres of space
display is taking on a gardened-up
shape. It is designed largely to show
was first organized in Buffalo in the
year 1848, and this fact lends great sig-
nificance to the coming sessions, espe-
cially to the older members. The pro-
gramme has been arranged so as to
make the meetings of exceptional
pleasure and profit to all who are in-
terested in fruits and their culture.
As is customary. Wilder medals will
be awarded to objects of special merit
relating to pomology. New varieties of
fruits are particularly eligible to these
awards and their exhibition at this
meeting is especially desired. Repre-
sentative collections of choice fruits
from the different . States are also en-
couraged and will be considered by the
Committee of Awards.
Through the courtesy of the Exposi-
tion management, the fruit exhibit will
be displayed in the Horticultural Build-
ing of the Exposition. Exhibits entered
for Wilder medals will also be eligible
for Exposition awards, thus affording
exhibitors a double incentive to display
their choice products.
Intending exhibitors should make
formal application for space to the sec-
retary, stating the approximate num-
ber of varieties to be shown, and the
space required. Exhibits should be for-
warded prepaid, so as to reach the Ex-
position by Sept. 9 or 10. if possible.
They should be addressed to F. W.
Taylor, Superintendent of Horticulture,
Pan-American Exposition, Buffalo,
N. Y., and should be plainly marked-
"For Wilder medal."
The programme calls for three meet-
ings each day, and the subjects to be
spoken of and discussed will be of

The Cost of an Exposiiion
Trip From New York.
The cost of a trip to the Pan-American
Exposition, taking New York City as a
point of departure and limiting the visit
to three days, is thus set <lown b.v a spe-
cial correspondent of Leslie's Weekly:
Round trip fare (five-day excursion
ticket) $9.00
Sleeping-car berth (going and com-
ing) 4.00
Lodgings at Buffalo (two nights).. 2.00
Six regular meals H.OO
Five luncheons 2.00
Five admissions to the grounds 2. .10
Incidentals 2. .50
$2.'i.00
The writer adds:
"This expense list obviously touches
neither the minimum of comfort nor the
maximum of liixur.v. The figures repre-
sent practii'al experience, and not mere
guess work. Of course, it is easy to add
or to subtract trt)m nearly all of these
items. If one has only $18 to fpare for
this indulgence, and will have it for that,
he can omit the amount for sleeping-car
according to your tastes. To the aver-
age visitors no building will be found to
contain so many .wonders and novel at-
tractions as that devoted to electricity,
and the second half-day may be spent
here with pleasure and profit. One day
might well be divided up in an inspection
of the Manufactnres' and Liberal Arts
building, the Horticulture building, an<l
the Machinery and Tran-sjiortation build-
ing. A brief visit to the building of one's
own state would not be omitted for va-
rious reasons. A full half day should be
included in the program for the enjoy-
ment of sports in the Stadium and the
thousand fascinating scenes and hitherto
unheard of things to be witnessed in the
gorgeous Midway.
" Happy and fortunate is the man who
can sj)en(i tliree days at this Exposition.
If he spends his time rightly it will be
wtjrth to him a year at college for the
attainment of useful knowledge. If he
has three weeks to give, so much the bet-
ter. He can till ever.v moment of it with
delight and satisfaction. "
The Pan-American Exposition.
The Swert F a Show
Dated oflicially for July 23 to
Aug. 3 — was represented by a number
of exhibitors this week; the display
was on tables in the center of the large
Horticultural Building.
Jas. Vick's Sons, Rochester, N. Y.,
showed 40 bunches, all labeled and
named sorts.
W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Philadelphia,
had a showing of good Howers in a
great variety of shades, many of them
delicate and exquisite. Over 70 good-
sized bunches were shown, and, while
quality was good and varieties distinct,
ail variety labeling was absent.
H. A. Dreer (Inc.), Philadelphia, had
the effect that is possible with annuals,
and will accomplish its purpose.
The display palms in the South
consei-vatory have been moved around
and re-arranged into an effective
group.
East, and across the canal from the
United States Government Building, is
the Agrostological exhibit of growing
grasses and forage, made under the au-
spices of the Department of Agricul-
ture, under the management of J. Lam-
son Scribner. Several acres are given
to it, every variety, fully and distinctly
labeled and named, both botanically
and by native section. The different
varieties are in walk-divided beds,
ranging in size from five by fifteen feet
to three times as large. It is truly in-
teresting to a large class, and to him
who wishes to gain practical points
concerning this important factor in na-
tional interest, is most educational and
instructive. We hope to refer to this
display later and in detail. VIDI.

(18C.) Elevation of Water Tank
for Obtaining Strong Force. — Will a
tank elerated about 24 feet, give me siil-
flcient force for spraying roses and carna-
tions V — Violet.
— A tank elevated 24 feet will hardl.v
give sufficient force for spraying in rose
and carnation houses. A pressure of 25
to 30 pounds is necessary in order to
keep down red spider and other similar
insects, and this pressure cannot be ob-
tained by the elevation mentioned. Tlie
tank should be elevated about 50 feet. —
B. T. Galloway.
(187) Expansion Tank. — In com-
mercial violet culture Prof. Galloway
says: " By using a ten-gallon expansion
tank water can be forced directly in the
pipes." I ask can this be connected to an
Ericcson hot-air pump, where is it to be
connected, and where is the safety valve
to be connected, and where can I buy an
expansion tank ? — Violet.
— The object of a ten-gallon expansion
tank is simply to give more elasticity to
the water system. It makes little differ-
ence where the tank is attached, provid-
ing the pipes are so arranged that a
proper air cushion is at the highest
point in the tank. The safety valve
should be attached in such a way that it
will blow off water and not air; other-
wise the entire system will be filled with
water, a state to be avoided. The tank
has the same relations to the water sys-
tem as an air chamber has to a pump,
and should be arranged in practically
the same wa.v. An expansion tank can
be bought from almost any plumbing
company.— B. T. Galloway.
(188) Asparagus Pluinosiis. — The
best remedy for the asparagus plumosus
bed that has been planted ten years and
neglected of late would be to throw it
out and make a new one. Take out the
soil about ten inches deep, till in with
new, and set out young plants. This
should be done at once and it will give
far more satisfaction than trying to
renovate the old bed.
(181)) Wintering Small Carnation
Plans. — The small plants of the carna-
tions can 1)6 carried over the Winter in a
cold frame very nicely. A slight frost
will not injure them, but when the
weather is severe, a cloth covering on
the glass will be required; at other
times give them all the light possible
and a little air on favorable days.
(190) A Bnllder at Sea —I intend
building two greenhtmses, one 50 x 13
and one 40 x 20, both houses wiih four-
feet woollen walls, running north and
south. What ought to be about the
cheapest the two houses can be built for
complete (allowing I can buy piping
three-inch and 12 x 14 glass second
hand), except boiler and carpenter work?
How many boxes of glass, 50 feet to the
box, will I need for them '.' I will need
glass in the south end of both houses.
How many feet of three-inch pipe will it
require to heat the house 40 x 20 to 65

Frank S.— .
— In building a greenhouse the rule
should be " how well," rather than
"how cheap." The additional cost of
cypress lumber is so slight that it should
not be considered, and in building the
house the work should be carefully done.
To build the house with cypress lumber
for the gutters and roof, wooden posts
and hemlock sheathing and siding, and
a good grade of building paper for the
walls, and including gas pipe purlins
and posts, wooden benches, hardware,
paint and putty, will cost about S250
for the material, and ventilation appa-
ratus will add $25 to $40 to this.
About 40 boxes of glass, and 800 feet of
three-inch pipe will be needed. The cost
of setting up the heater and putting in
the pipe will be from $25 to $40, accord-
ing to the cost of labor, and the labor of
painting and glazing will be $75 to $100.
About one-half of the cellar will be
available for storing fuel. If a space for
this purpose eight by nine feet is as
large as is desired, the size of cellar
named will answer. — L. R. Taft
(101) Wants more Heat. —I have a
greenhouse 100 x 25 feet, even span,
ridge 14 feet high. We use hot water,
and the house is piped with two three-
inch pipes and one two-inch pipe, with
Hows overhead, and ten (10) two-inch
returns under the benches. We have zero
and sometimes 10 or 12 degrees below.
It does not seem to work well. What, in
your opinion, would improve the circu-
lation?— L. Paine.
— The question gives no information
regarding the present arrangement of
the heating pipes, neither is the size of
the heater nor the temperature desired
stated. To heat a house of the size
named will require for .50 degrees, which
is about what could be secured with the
pipes now in use, a boiler rated for
1,100 to 1,200 square feet of radiating
surface and a grate surface of about five
feet. If 60 degrees is desired there should
be four additional lines of two-inch pipe,
and the boiler should have a rating of
about 1,500 siiuare feet of radiation,
with nearly seven quare feet of grate
sufrace. — L. R. Taft.

A Nevp Carnation Company.
A certiflcate of incorporation for a
new carnation plant, to be known ae
the J. D. Thompson Company, has been
filed, the capital stock beius $40,000,
divided into 400 shares of $100 each.
The incorporators are Adam Groth, Ar-
thur Hays and John D. Thompson.
The object is to grow, handle, sell, mar-
ket and deal in flowers, plants, etc. The
time is twenty-flre years. The location
is Joliet, probably near the hot-houses
of the Higiubotham property. The
shareholders are : Michael Wenandy,

Cromwell, Conn.
The rain of Monday night last came
just in time for housing carnations at
A. N. Pierson's. The last of the old
plants had been cleaned out the pre-
vious week, the beds refilled with ster-
ilized soil, and on Tuesday the work
of mixing the beds began. One house
has already been planted with the
Marquis, and another with the Lawson
and two or three other varieties. Next
week two more, and much larger
houses, will be filed. The plants are
coming in from the field in very good
condition, in spite of the fact that the
early part of the season was unfavor-
able, cold and very wet. They are
much superior to the plants of a year
ago.
Crysanthemums are showing up in
great shape, and they are very much
in evidence now, and will be for several
months. With nearly 100,000 plants
scattered around the houses one can't
go far without running across them.
The plants never looked better at this
season.

Orange, N. J.
Local trade is quite dull, but has been
improved by the funerals of a number of
prominent citizens. The interest which
was awakened early in the Spring in
regard to the Buffalo Convention has
petered away, owing to the adverse sea-
son, and the late favorable plant
growth has onl.v intensified a desire to
stay at home and attend to business.
Among the private gardners, John
Hayes has added a very pretty piece of
Italian gardening to the terrace at
" Linden, " and Malcolm MacRorie is
busy with improvements in drainage,
made necessary by recent freshets at Dr.
Maudeville's. Both have their celery in
and are well up in the season's work.
Summit, N. J.
An Interesting: Orchid Consig^nment
Lager & Hurrell, of Summit, N. J.,
have just received the finest, largest
and most interesting consignment of
orchids in the history of that firm,
comprising some fifty-nine cases and
5,600 plants. Amongst them are a large
number of G. gigas from the Hardyana
district, which have proved such fine
hybrids, as reported from all over the
country; Laelia Patinii, very rare, the
Alba variety of which is exceedingly
valuable; C. chrysotoxa; Miltonia vex-
illaria and Roezlii, together with a
large lot of Oncidium Kramerianum,
Stanhopeas, Lycastes, Anguloas, Mas-
devallias, etc. The entire shipment was
gathered in Colombia.
Edward J. White, traveling salesman
for Lager & Hurrell, of Summit, N. J„
was a passenger on board the Atlas
liner Allegheny at Cartagena, U. S. of
Colombia, when the officials of the little
South American republic forcibly bore
away from the vessel, on a political
charge, Colonel Abel Murillo, secretary
to General Rafael Uribe-Uribe, leader of
the Colombian revolutionary party. On
the arrival of the Allegheny in New
York, Monday, Mr. White and three
other passengers made a statement of
the dramatic and exciting affair over
their signatures. The Colombians
searched the baggage of Mr. White, who,
they said, was Colonel Murillo's friend.
Toronto.
The hot, dry weather of the last few
weeks has just been followed by two
days of refreshing rains, and carnations
and violets in the Held have been gen-
erally much benefited by it. Sweet
peas, hardy perennials, asters, &c., which
were beginning to suffer, are much im-
proved. Business in cut flowers has
been very good, considering the time of
the year. Roses coming in have fairly
good stems, but the flowers are small.
Dunlop is sending in some fairly good
Kaiserin and American Beauty.
There is likely to be a good attendance
from Toronto at the London Con-
vention, but I don't expect a great many
of the boys to go to Buffalo, as most of
them have considerable work on hand,
and so cannot spare the time; and, also,
Buffalo is earning for itself a rather un-
enviable reputation.
Dunlop is trying the bottomless pots
for his violets, this year and has just
planted into his house. The plants are
healthy and sturdy, and look as though
they are in first-class condition. His
carnations in the field are also looking
extra well, and he has thousands of
them in nearly all the latest varieties.
Nearly all the rose houses are planted
and growing along in Hue shape. A
large part of the stock is 3'oung grafted
plants; another large portion is old
stock lifted and replanted ; the latter is
growing and looking very well. There
is also a good bench of stock budded on

The Trade.
Perhaps never in the history ot
Baltimore has the stock of cut flowers
been so scarce and poor as at the present
date. Kosee and carnations are very
small, owing, no doubt, to the intense
heat. Asters have not been good at all,
small and not full. Funeral work com-
pises the bulk of all orders.

Stnte of Trade — Gloriona Rains.
The difflculty to-day is to get
flowers: never knew them so scarce,
everjthing worthy the name of a
flower is snapped up early, and empty
tables and ice-boxes are the rule in all
the wholesale houses, a few bunches of
gladiolus being about all one can see
after 8 or 9 in the morning.
The hot, dry weather cut off the
usual supply of outdoor herbaceous
stuff so plentiful last year. Best out-
door white carnations easily fetched
$2 per 100, which is about as high as
they have gone in this marliet. Tea
roses brought $4 to $5, and nothing
very fancy at that. There is a dis-
position in this market to shorten the
planting of Kaiserin, which seems a
pity, as it is the only white to do well
at this season.
This summer call really needs some
extra effort to meet it; it does not
take a very fancy article to pass mus-
ter these times, and it is too bad the
market is so very bare. From what
we can learn, it moderate summer
weather now follows our glorious rains
it will not be long before the early
planted roses will be in good shape
again.
E. C. Amling returned this morning
from a trip to New Castle, Ind., and
he reports stock there as in good shape
and to be shortly heard from again.
Beauties are growing finely, and Me-
teors giving good promise.
Hollyhocks were of vei-y short dura-
tion and as yet asters do not show up
to any great extent. Sweet Peas fairly
plenty but most of the stock that
comes in short in stem.
\eTV Greenhonsea tills Year.
So far as we have a record for
the State of Illinois, the amount of new
buildings does not foot up quite as
much as last year, but possibly some
may have escaped us. Then again,
the Reinberg-Wieland and F. F. Ben-
they Co.'s big new plants at Green
Castle, Ind., cannot be claimed for this
State, although the product will And
a market here.
Last year I figured about 500,000
square feet for Chicago and its
environs, and 50,000 square feet for the
balance of the State. This year my
figures are under 400.000 square feet for
all the State, with more than one-third
of this total to be credited to other
parts of Illinois than Chicago. This
is a decided gain for the balance of the
State over last year. The John C.
Moninger Co. give me the following
totals of material furnished by them
for Illinois thus far this season. This
statement, however, includes green-
houses for vegetables and private
places as well as for florists:
One hundred and twenty-nine houses,
aggregating a total length of IS. 036
fpet. To glaze these houses it required
437,652 square feet of glass,' of which
4:^6,594 square feet was lapped, and 21,-
058 square feet butted. One hundred
and three of these houses had ventilat-
ing sash hinged at header, opening
from top; balance of houses have vent
sash opening from bottom.
A. Dietsch & Co. report their busi-
ness as having doubled that of last
year, but the actual figures at our visit
was not obtainable. Mr, Dietsch has
a new patent greenhouse he is intro-
ducing, which we will speak of, with il-
lustrations, another week.
The Clab Picnic.
The outing on the 24th to Relslg's
Grove, was a success. The weather
was cooler, a sprinkle of rain settling
the du?t, and everybody enjoyed them-
selves. There were nigh 200 there, in-
cluding a full quota of ladies. Many
drove out with their families. Sports,
under the guidance of Walter Kreit-
ling. including races of all kinds, with
a fat man's race, in which Hugh Wood
covered himself with glory. Some
twenty-eight prizes were awarded.
The judges for the prize waltz were
Harry Balsley. of Detroit, and Andy
McAdams, president of the club. They
awarded first to Anton Then and wife
second to Joseph Singer and Miss Rear-
don. Refreshments were ably presided
over by Ed. Winterson and Charlie
Balluff. The ball game was captained
by Charles Schmidt and Harry Smyth,
the latter's team winning by a score
of 8 to 6. The dancing floor was well
patronized, even if the weather was
warm. Although only the second reg-
