The Florists' Review d Easter NOW READY TO BOOK YOUR ORDER Randall's Easter crop of Lilies is famous — everybody who ever has tried them knows that there never are any finer and seldom any as good. For years and years Randall's Lilies have been the standard by which all other Lilies have been judged. Some years one grower and some years another will claim to have Lilies "as good as Randall's," but Randall's Lilies always have been acknowledged as the leader. These are true Giganteums — the best bulbs money would buy, forced by the best grower we know. Natu- rally, we have the best flowers. Easter is unusually early this year, and it is all the more important to place your order with the most dependable source of supply — there will be a great many over-forced Lilies OB the market, stock that won't stand shipping. Our Lilies will be just right. They will be packed at the greenhouses in wooden boxes of 100 flowers each. Order as many as you need — Eastep is only three weeks away. NOW BOOKING ADVANCE ORDERS Randairs Fancy Lilies for Easter, $12.50 per 100; $100.00 per 1000 Better take advantaRe of the above ofiter at once.

The Eeview has received a page from the Public Ledger marked "From the Philadelphia Publicity Bureau. Get the trade busy on this negative suggestion. Charles Henry Fox." The "negative suggestion" is an item headed "Lower the High Cost of Dying," under a Cin- cinnati date line, and reads as follows: "A novel way to decrease the 'high cost of dying' has been devised by the board of managers of St. Xavier's church, one of the largest Catholic par- ishes in southern Ohio. An announce- ment has been made that in the future no funerals to which flowers are per- mitted to be sent will be permitted held in the church. It also was announced that in the place of flowers the parish, at its own expense, will issue memoriam cards to all the friends of the deceased, announcing the death and a brief biog- raphy of the deceased. One of the man- agers stated that it was the beginning of a nation-wide movement that, has been started in the last month." Every once in a while an item like this finds its way into print, and almost always The Eeview receives several cop- ies, from florists who fear the worst is about to happen. It is, as Mr. Fox says, a "negative suggestion," and one not to be advertised by opposition, but The Review has several times stated its opinion that no great amount of harm can come of such efforts to do away with flowers at funerals. The Eeview told the trade not to get excited about the fad of wearing artificial corsage flowers; that it would soon die out; and it did. Don't be alarmed at "Please omit flowers" in funeral notices — they won't help, but so long as flowers are recognized as "messengers of senti- ment" their use will not be curtailed to any appreciable extent by the acts of those whose only idea is to cut the cost. EASTER PLANTS. Question: Will the early Easter re- duce the number of good blooming plants that will be ready? Answer: It will not. The plants will he finer and there will be more of them than ever before. . These are facts that foreshadow an immense business this month, for with the stock assured our retailers all over the country have the energy and brains to meet the unusual conditions of this *^->*'"^ordinarily early Easter. The stock, aided by cultural skill and excellent weather, is in wonderfully fine condi- tion. There has actually been no lorcmg; the stock has been brought on naturally. The idea that a plant must "f nard enough to stand shipping, to stand well in the store and then to stand well in home or church has put ^n^^" *^ I'igli temperatures in flower- "?,/"0f.t high grade plants. I tie lily is first among Easter brought into general notice. There are practically no diseased lilies on the benches today. Giganteums form the bulk of the stock, but there are a good many multiflorums and a good many Formosas. These three types give a range of heights as comprehensive as the different sizes afford variety in the number of buds to each plant. The azalea once came next to the lily in order of popularity as an Easter plant. It does so no longer, through no fault of its own. It has gone down several places because it is less satis- factory than formerly, both from a cul- tural and from a monetary standpoint. The rose stands next to the lily to- day. Its advance is due mainly to the plants * ^y, as it was when it was first Sweet Peas in a Funeral Spray. progress made in developing the Wichu- raiana type. Crimson Rambler still stands at the head of the varieties suitable for Easter forcing. Next come the pink ramblers, then the baby class — Phyllis, Orleans, Mrs. Taft, and Mrs. Cutbush are all coming forward as fine sorts. The hybrid roses, led by Magna Charta, Frau Karl Druschki and Soleil d'Or, are also good. The hybrid teas include Richmond, Killarney and a few others. The hydrangea shows an advance equal to that of the rose. The new French varieties, seen in small num- bers last season, have taken their place side by side with Otaksa. There are eight or nine of these varieties. All can be had in quantity. The flowers are not quite so large as on Otaksa, but the colors are simply exquisite. in their soft clearness. The plants are, as a rule, exceedingly well budded, making them showy. The bulk of the hydran- geas, both standard and novel, are in salable medium sizes. Astilbe Japonica Gladstone, com- monly called spirtea, has crowded out nearly all other varieties. They are so fine this year that there is little left to desire. A few of the pink spiraea, Queen Alexandra, are seen. Genistas in the larger sizes are supe- rior to anything offered last season. The best are remarkably fine, the result of culture and a cool temperature steadily maintained. Rhododendrons show the result of skill on both sides of the water. The plants were good when they came, and they have had good treatment since, with no need of fire heat to bring them on and spoil them now. These are the principal Easter plants grown in great quantity for wholesal- ing. Daisies, deutzias, hyacinths, tulips, -narcissi, valley, lilacs, etc., are grown in smaller quantities and are less seen in the big markets, although often grown by the retailers on their own places. The stock for Easter is so fine that a good Easter is in sight, the battle half won, for with good stock it is less dif- ficult to command success. Phil. SWEET PEAS IN SPRAYS. Since the introduction of the winter- flowering sweet peas, and the long- stemmed varieties, retail florists have come to use the flower for practically every purpose, even for funeral sprays. There are those who think the use of sweet peas for funeral purposes will de- tract from the popularity of the flower for corsage and other finer uses, but this seems an exaggerated view. At any rate, the modern sweet pea makes a handsome funeral spray, as is shown by the accompanying illustration, prepared from a photograph supplied by J. L. Easke, a Chicago retailer. HER TWENTY-FOURTH BIRTHDAY. A recent issue of a newspaper pub- lished in Muskogee, Okla., tells a story — presumably a true> story— about a florist in that city who unintentionally entered into -conflict with Cupid and almost upset the little love-god's plans. The florist in the case was Oscar Werner, proprietor of the Hyde Park Greenhouses. Another leading charac- ter in the tale was a young man who had frequently purchased flowers from Mr. Werner. Still another character of consequence was the young l^dy to whom many of the roses had been sent. On the occasion referred to in the story, the young lady had ^attained her twenty-fourth birthday. Of course, there was nothing peculiar or remark- able about that; twenty-fourth birth- days are common enough, since every person of mature years must have had one. Still, it is important, in this in- stance, to remember the lady's age, for the young man resolved to send' her just two dozen roses, one for each year of her life. So he sent the order for the two dozen roses, with the address to which 20 The Florists' Review March 6, 1913. they were to be delivered, and he sent his card, to be enclosed with the flowers as usual. But Mr. Werner, the florist, knew nothing about the aforementioned birthday, and he did not know that the lover had written on the card, "Here's a rose for every year of your age." And Mr. Werner should not be blamed for not discovering that in- scription, since it was written on the back of the card, where no one expects anything to be written. He did know, however, that he had an abundant supply of roses. So he decided to be generous in filling the order and to give the young couple a pleasant sur- prise. Here the newspaper narrator goes on to tell, seemingly just for the purpose of keeping the reader in suspense a while, that on the night of the birth- day the lover took unusual care in preparing his toilet. He tried to ima- gine how happy she would be, just what she would, say and how beautiful she would appear. Her picture on the wall seemed to smile at him as he stood and gazed at it for a minute or so just before leaving the room. He could hardly wait for the front door to open, and he was ready for a hearty greeting from Her. After an unusually long period of waiting, the door finally did open, but no smil- ing, love-lit face was upturned to his. The young woman merely stared at her startled lover and said icily, ' ' Come in. You have some explaining to do. I want to know where you acquired such a crude sense of humor." But it is useless to attempt to de- scribe the tragedy and pathos of that conference; none but a poet could do justice to the scene — and, alas, there is no poet on the staff of The Eeview. The brief but bitter truth is that the young man, after long and painful be- wilderment, discovered that the lady had received three dozen roses instead of two dozen. Then he spent the rest of the miserable evening trying to ex- plain matters, with only partial success. He hurried to the greenhouse before going to work next morning and asked Mr. Werner how in the world he had happened to put an extra dozen roses in the order. Mr. Werner stated what his motives had been, and then asked, "Didn't your friend like them?" "Oh, she "was simply crazy about them," said the young man rather ambiguously, as he walked away. A COMPLETE BECOBD. A few weeks ago we saw in The Review the reproduction of an order blank used by a retail florist in han- dling his telephone trade. We send herewith for reproduction a blank wq use for all our retail orders. We think it covers the ground and gives a com- plete description of every transaction. Each person who has fi hand in the transaction fills in the blanks describ- ing'l^^ part and we keep these blanks on file^'f or' at least sixty days after each transactioii, soihat we can trace every move made'i^Hing the order, in put- ting it up, a^MKdelivery.

There is no real reason why either the wholesale or the retail florist should open on Sunday. The greenhouses must, of course, be watched, the houses venti- lated, the stock watered, and the fires kept up, for the laws of nature know no holiday. But that is no excuse for opening our wholesale and retail stores on Sunday. Every man, even a florist, is entitled to one day's rest out of the seven. We can not close up by mutual agreement, for there is always someone who will not cooperate with the bal- ance of the trade, and so the only way out of the dilemma is to have a state law passed making it illegal for florists to keep open on Sundays. It will not decrease the quantity of flowers sold. People will soon adjust themselves to the need of providing flowers during the week days, and such a law will put the florists on a plane with the other merchants who have one day out of seven for rest and recreation. The florist is human and entitled to human consideration. " C. A. M. PABCEL POST CHANGES. The amplification of the parcel post service has begun. By a recent order of the Postmaster General, parcels may now be sent spe- cial delivery, the same as letters. All one has to do is to af&x a special de- livery stamp, or 10 cents in ordinary postage stamps, indicating that the lat- ter are for the special delivery, and the package gets the same treatment as a special delivery letter. Parcel post packages may now be sent C. O. D. The postage must be fully prepaid. A fee of 10 cents in parcel post stamps, which must be af- fixed to the package, is the charge for collection. The amount to be collected must not exceed $100. Such parcels are insured without extra charge to the amount of actual value, not exceed- ing $50. Special delivery parcels may be sent through all offices having special de- livery service and C. O. D. packages wUl be accepted at money order offices when addressed to money order of- fices. FBEY TUENS PUBLISHER. C. H. Frey, the well known florist at Lincoln, Neb., has turned publisher. He calls his monthly magazine The Posey. It consists of four pages of jokes bound in a neat cover. The front is decorative, the fourth cover carries Mr. Frey's ad, while the sec- ond and third covers, of the first issue, carry a story of the rise of the Frey establishment, as follows: "In May, 1887, I purchased two lots at Twentieth and L streets, and began the erection of two greenhouses, and a small cottage (previous to this I had made the acquaintance of a lady who had consented to cook for me). The two greenhouses were completed by fall and stocked with plants commod in that day as pot plants and for the production of cut flowers. "The lady friend having become my wife, we opened our two houses for business October 1. Not being blessed with a surplus of cash (or credit), we could not afford to hire help, so had to do all the work about the place our- selves. But having started out with a determination to make the venture a success (having had previous to this five years of schooling in this my chosen profession), I knew how to grow flowers, so all we needed now was customers. These came at once, and continued to come, and brought others, so that the business soon had to be expanded. At the close of the second year we had to seek more land. Not be- ing able to buy more adjoining our plant, we moved the plant to Twenty- second and G streets, where my father had five acres, and added a few more houses. "While this venture proved a profit- able one, it was not a satisfactory one for me, but we continued to do busi- ness here for four years, then turned this plant over to my father. "After Looking around a short time we purchased five acres southeast of Lincoln, situated on Thirty-fifth street, four blocks south of South street, where we built seven large houses, a residence, bams and such other build- ings as were necessary to the success- ful operation of the plant. "This plant being completed by the W^' is+)»,"'.w^»iriw MAECH Q. 1018. The Florists' Review 21 fall of 1894, we were again ready to «ckyard are wjsightly; therefore plant a sdreiSn of tall shrubs across from the back of the house to the boundary fence to conceal such things. Of course this screen is to be as far back from the street as possible. Rule No. 5. — Do not plant in straight lines. Use shrubs of varying sizes and heights and plant so the line is irregular. Rule No. 6. — Mass your shrubs. That is, do not dot them around, but plant all of one kind together. Rule No. 7. — Do not plant clipped for- mal hedges for our climate. It is very difficult to make them do well here. If, after years of work, a plant dies out, the whole thing is ruined and they take an immense amount of care to keep them in proper condition. Finally, even when in perfect condition they are formal and ugly and a good honest wire fence, cov- ered with Virginia creeper and other vines, has the advantage from every point of view. The Places For Flowers. AVe now have the backbone of our work •done and the places for planting flowers Will suggest themselves. The big, the Bhowy, and the brilliant colored things, we will get well to the back. The cannas and hollyhocks will make a gorgeous show ipl&nted in front of the screen at the rear. The little bays in our undulating border will be .iust "the place for geraniums or other plants in long irregular beds. Clumps of the earlier hardy bulbs, as squills, snowdrops and the like, may be planted under the edges of the overhang- ing shrubbery, to remain permanently. The smaller and more delicate flowers, which must be seen at close range, will naturally be planted near the front. Sweet scented blossoming plants should be near the windows and the porch. Great care must be taken not to plant discordant or clashing colors together, and a red or brightly colored house re- quires discrimination in selecting the col- ors to be planted closely to it. Time permits here only the crudest and briefest hints, but there are numberless books and magazines dealing with the subject very fully — to be sure, there is an immense lot of rubbishy nonsense be- ing published also. Many publishers ap- pear to think that a flashy literary style is all-important and real knowledge of the subject an entirely secondary matter. If space available permits, some well grown shrubs, or small trees on the flo- rist 's grounds will not only be orna- mental, but will make excellent selling samples. Unless conditions are unusual it will probably not be advisable to at- tempt to propagate or grow on, shrub stock, as it can be bought very cheaply as wanted from the nurseries. In cenclusion, let me earnestly urge every florist in the class mentioned to look into this matter and try it. I am sure that the profit and the pleasure de- rived will both be great. FLORICULTUBE AT URBANA. [A synopsis of a paper by H. B. Dorner, read at the convention of tlie Illinois State Florists' Association at Peoria, March 6, 1913, descriptive of the florlcultural worlt at the University of Illinois.] During the last year G. L. Peltier suc- ceeded H. W. Anderson as pathologist, and r. W. Muncie was appointed physio- logical chemist. The staff now numbers , flye. The equipment was variously added to. At a meeting of the advisory board, heW yU; spring, it was decided to con- tinue, tfcr another year, the Experiments on commercial fertilizers with roses and carnations and on the stem-rot of carna- tions. The experiments on the growing of roses with chemical fertilizers and the testing of own-root and grafted stock are a continuation of the work of the last two years. The results, up to date, bid fair to verify the conclusions of last year. Without doubt, the results of these experiments will be of great value to all florists growing roses. The experiments on carnations are a continuation of the comparison of com- mercial and natural manures and on over- feeding with nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous. This work also promises very gratifying results. The results on the experiments on com- mercial fertilizers with carnations, which were completed last year, are now await- ing the verification of this year 's work so that they may be published in full. The first year's work on stem-rot was a study of the life history of the fungus that causes the disease. The work of this year has been a further study of the ac- tion of the organism and preliminary experiments on its control. While the work of the coming year has not, as yet, been decided upon by your committee, the following lines will be pre- sented for their approval : It is proposed that the work with roses be continued along the lines of soil fer- tility, on both own-root and grafted plants. The work on carnations, as planned, contemplates further work on the effects of overfeeding and measures to overcome it, on the study of the limiting element in feeding and on the chemical constitu- ents of the plant and their relation to feeding. The study of stem-rot of carnations is to be continued and methods for its pre- vention and control will be worked out. An entire house will be devoted to path- ological work. It is also proposed to carry on some work with chrysanthemums along the line of feeding to determine the kinds and amounts of fertilizer required and when they should be applied. A study of the effects of overwatering and overfeeding of various pot plants is also proposed. A study of this kind will assist the florist in diagnosing such cases without difficulty. Two circulars have been issued. A 22- page circular on the experiments on car- nations and roses and a 16-page circular on the instructional work were printed in time for distribution at the Chicago meet- ing of the S. A. F. More complete cir- culars will be issued as soon as this year 's work is completed and the results can be compiled and verified. Many requests have been received from florists and amateurs concerning plant troubles. These have all been given close attention and the growers have received all the help possible. The results of this work have been gratifying. The reports show that in many cases the help given has been the cause of the saving of thou- sands of dollars. It is hoped that more florists will avail themselves of the oppor- tunity and allow your workers at the sta- tion to be of service to them. All queries and material sent to the Division of Flori- culture will receive prompt attention. Eight students are now registered for the four-year course in floriculture. The completion of the new houses will add greatly to the facilities of the division and make it possible to give the students considerable work along practical lines. As stated in a previous report, the re- vision of the campus necessitates jibe re- moval of the greenhouses to a new loca- tion on the east side of the campus. The new houses that were provided for in the appropriations of two years ago are being built upon the new site and are nearing completion. The plans are to move the old range this coming summer. The new range consists of two houses, 35x105 and a curvilinear palm house 40 x80 feet. These, with the addition of another house 35x105 feet, to be built this summer, and the old houses to be moved, cover an area of 27,700 square feet. The new houses are all of iron frame con- struction. The contract has also been let for a new service building, 35x95 feet, two stories high. In this will be located the work rooms, storage rooms, labora- tories, class room and offices. EXPERIMENTS ON STEM-ROT. [Extracts from a paper by G. L. Peltier, of the University of Illinois, read before the Illi- nois State Florists' Association at Peoria, March C, 1913.] Following the plan of last year, most of our attention has been confined to one disease, namely, wet stem-rot of carnation. A number of strains of Rhizoctonia from various hosts, potato, clover, corn, bean, carrots, thistle and other vegetables, were obtained from various sources. The object is to de- termine Whether the strain of Rhizoc- tonia from the carnation host alone, or those from all other hosts, can produce stem-rot of the carnation. If the first statement proves to be the case, then the matter of controlling stem-rot will be simple, for it will be merely a ques- tion of eliminating the diseased plants. On the other hand,^ if other strains of Rhizoctonia are able to attack the car- nation it will be a difficult problem to work out a means of control, for one will never know when the plants w^ll be attacked in the field. Further, the soil brought into the greenhouse, if taken from a field on which the hosts named above have been grown, might be infected with Rhizoctonia. This question is of fundamental importance. Some Conclusions Reached. From observations in the carnation field last summer the following con- clusions, some of them no doubt being well known, but which can probably bear repeating, may be made: (1) When plants are put out in the field in the spring they are liable to be set too deep, which perhaps may bring about some morphological difference in the stem just at the surface of the ground, causing the plant to become more susceptible to stem-rot. Great care should be exercised in planting the plants just the required depth. This should be done again when the plants are taken into the house in the fall. (2) From data collected from diseased plants in the field, a plant with a single stem which breaks one to two inches above the surface of the soil is much ■■*;''';"T;^or'V'.;»r-'^'7'-» ^'~r^r-w^-w'r^Trw:^'^*^*fjtM^fn v^ ■*Jf, -^^^^-.T! r^^,nS, "11^. ■ wftlfH^^l^F^I."!^ Wi^llJ|iiV<«|H^li-L MABCH 6, 1913. The Florists' Review I less liable to stem-rot than a plant ! breaking just at, or slightly below, the ground. The reason is obvious. The branches of a plant forking at the sur- face of the ground are easily broken off in different ways. They generally break at the base, so there is exposed a wound, through which fungi can easily enter. The wound is later covered with soil, and so it is an easy matter for the fungus Rhizoctonia to enter the exposed tissue and produce stem-rot. A large number of plants examined show that in the majority of cases the fungus gains entrance through a wound of this kind. (3) Cultivating too deep and throw- ing the soil up around the plants also produces a condition more favorable to Rhizoctonia. Great care should be exer- cised not to injure any of the plants with the cultivator. (4) If stem-rot is present in a carna- tion field all dead or wilted plants should be pulled up as soon as noticed and the soil surrounding the plant should be soaked with a fungicide, preferably formalin. It can be applied in the dilu- tion of 1:200. Formalin is desirable in this work, as it will kill the mycelium of the fungus Rhizoctonia in the ground, it is inexpensive, the fumes escape from the soil quickly and it does not injure the soil in any way. Sterilizing Soil. Concerning the work in the green- house, only general statements can be made at this time. A number of agents for sterilizing the soil were tried, in- cluding steam, and a number of fungi- cides. The experiments were conducted in the following manner: The soil was first infected with soil cultures of the fungus Rhizoctonia grown, in the labora- tory, and then half of it was sterilized, the other half being left as a check. In the steam sterilized bench no plants have died, while in the bench infected with Rhizoctonia and not sterilized the loss due to stem-rot is sixty per cent. The fungicides, Bordeaux mixture, cop- per sulphate and sulphuric acid, all gave poor results. Formalin applied at the rate of 1:200 and the soil allowed to dry for a week has given excellent results, none of the plants being diseased up to this date. The application of limestone also appears to retard the growth of Rhizoctonia. Next year we will confine all our efforts to steam sterilized soil, the formalin treatment, and the appli- cation of limestone. Steam sterilized soil appears to have one serious disadvantage, mainly that the growth of plants is slightly retarded tor the first two or three weeks. There seems to be no satisfactory explanation tor this phenomenon. Steam sterilized sand has been use5 ror cuttings in the experimental work '^"^ has proven satisfactory. To date no Khizoctonia has been found in any or the carnation cutting beds at station and it is doubtful that aisease is carried in this manner, seems more probable, then, that Plants are first attacked in the field, ih^ ^^ ™^° ^^^« stated before, it is of ine utmost importance to know whether strains of Rhizoctonia infecting various K i' '° ^}^ fi^ld are also able to attack the carnation plants. +li« ^! ? t^® ™08* important factors in xne control of stem-rot in the greenhouse nla^fc '^^^^^^^ selection of carnation Lasf foTi^° brought in from the field. »i laii every plant that showed any the the It the "WHO'S WHO-AND WHY" HUGH WILL. WHAT will Hjighl Hugh will see to it that every one who attends the S. A. F. conlvention next August has just the best tifne ever. For Hugh Will, smiling Hugh, with the twinkles in the wrinkles 'round his eyes, is chair- man of the big, buly committee that has charge of the entertainment features, and already is hard at work. Mr. Will also is a member of the finance committee, the committee on transportation and, as you might guess from the twinkle, of the committee on convention sports. There isn't anything he isn't in. He is president of the Minnesota State Florists' Association and of practically all the trade societies. In business he is one of the three brothers who own the largest range of glass in the Twin Cities, operating it under the corporate name of Will Bros. Co. They are cut flower growers primarily, although a considerable quantity of other material is grown for the Minneapolis market and for the shipping trade through the nortlifwest. signs of disease, as well as all unhealthy or damaged plants, was examined. As a result only a few plants have been lost on account of this disease. This matter of selecting plants is, therefore, an important factor in the control of this disease. If occasionally a plant is killed by Rhizoctonia in the greenhouse it should be pulled up immediately and the soil drenched with a solution of formalin. A fresh plant should not be put in until the soil is dry and it should re- ceive careful treatment. Four plantd replaced in the sRme place have been seen to die, in eadh case for the simple reason that they received the same treatment as the surrounding plants, which were strong and healthy and had been growing for some time, and that the fungus was stjll present in the soil. The problem of the control of the wet stem-rot is far froin being complete, but experiments give some encouragement so that in the near future a method of control will probably be found for this serious disease. Dry Stem-Bot. Another disease which causes more or less loss to growers of carnations is the so-called dry stem-rot, which I suggest be called branch wilt, to distinguish it more sharply from the wet stem-rot, due to Rhizoctonia. This branch wilt is due to a species of the fungus Fusarium. This fungus has never been seen to attack a healthy growing carnation plant. It gains entrance to the tissue of the part in each case through wounds and cuts on the plant. The spores, which are everywhere in the soil and air of the house are able to germinate in a drop of water, so that if the plants are wet and a flower is cut the spore will germinate 26 The Florists^ Review Mabch 6, 1913. on this cut surface and work its way into the branches. When . the young shoots arise they grow until the fungus reaches the base of the shoot and in a short time the shoot will wilt suddenly and die. The fungus is rarely able to kill the whole plant. By looking over a carnation house infected with branch wilt the dead branches are conspicuous and characteristic of this disease. The only control that can be suggested at this time is absolute cleanliness of the house. As this fungus is able to grow on dead leaves of the plants as well as on and under the benches, such conditions should not be tolerated. Over- head watering should be discontinued as much as possible, especially in cloudy weather. Yellows. Yellows, as I shall call this disease for the present, to distinguish it from bacteriosis and stigmonose, is widely dis- tributed throughout the state, and from reports seems to be increasing rapidly. The trouble starts in the young leaves and is first noticed as small pale green areas varying in size and shape. On holding an infected leaf up to the light the dots appear translucent. These spots become more distinct and turn yellow, while the tissue beneath collapses. The trouble is confined not only to the leaves, but in badly infected plants the branches and flower stems may be cov- ered with the yellow elongated spots. Several distinct forms of yellows can be recognized, which differ in general appearance and subsequent behavior. The early stages of the first type consist of small translucent dots, scattered ir- regularly through the leaf. At first they are a paler green than the sur- rounding tissue, but distinctly delineated from it. The spots increase more or less rapidly until they reach a diameter of one to eight millimeters. Most of these spots are approximately circular, but may be irregular in outline, rarely elongated. Few of the spots coalesce in this form. This type is especially noticeable on White Enchantress. A single leaf may have from one or two to fifty or more spots, depending on the extent of infection. Another charac- teristic of this first type is that the spots do not tend to make the leaves brittle. The development of the second form is similar to the one above, except that while still in the early stages the spots coalesce and become much elongated, so that a single spot may be one to two inches or more in length. On badly in- fected leaves these elongated areas run parallel to the midrib and have a sort of flaky appearance. The leaves become brittle and are easily snapped off. In the later stage the tissue beneath the areas collapses, the spot becomes sunken and finally turns brown as the leaf dies. This type of yellows is found in the Beacon and Pink Enchantress and is, as a rule, much more destructive than the first type. A third form may be mentioned here, which is found only on the red-flowered varieties, as Beacon. Here the areas in the late stages take on a purplish color, and are slightly raised. It is not known whether this form is the same as the others or not. The red-flowered varie- ties are also susceptible to the second type, beside this third form. No explanation as to the cause of this disease can be given at present. How- ever, preliminary experiments have shown that the disease is not transmis- sable from one plant to another, but that it is carried from season to season by means of infected cuttings. Until the cause has been determined the sug- gestion is made that no cuttings from plants that show yellows be taken; and if any plants show these spots at any time from the cutting bench stage to the time they are brought into the house in the fall, they should be discarded. In this way the disease to a large ex- tent will be eliminated. COOL HOUSE FOR HOT CLIMATE. E. E. Stone, nurseryman, Dickinson, Tex., is the owner of the unique green- house siiown in the accompanying illus- trations. It is like other greenhouses in so far as the frame goes, but it is dif- ferent from the rest in that it is exactly the opposite of the usual "warm house for cool locations — it is a cool house for a hot climate. The house is 30 x 100, of the well known Foley pipe frame con- struction, with no benches but four lines of purlin supports. The common com- plaint in Mr. Stone's location, which is in Galveston county, close to the Gulf coast, is that the ordinary form of greenhouse gets too hot in summer. Af- ter thinking the matter out, Mr. Stone had the Foley Mfg. Co. build a special roof on the regular, standard frame. Shade was what Mr. Stone wanted. This is how he got it: At the end of the house were three sashbars to carry glass in the ordinary way; then a bar was omitted and a frame set in two panes wide, not glazed, but filled with roofing felt; then three more runs of glass; then a frame of felt, and so on to the other end of the house. The side walls have glass below the glazed bars and hinged vents filled with felt below the felted frames. The frames are fastened to the eave plate and to the ventilator header, the ven- tilator also being filled with felt. Mr. Stone says he has had a number of in- quiries from other southerners who are watching his experiment and that its success will mean the erection of a num- ber of similar houses in the Gulf sec- tion. The trees shown in the picture are camphor trees, a small-leaved evergreen, fast growing and capable of withstand- ing 10 to 12 degrees of frost, that Mr. Stone considers ideal for the coast country. FESTILIZESS FOB CABNATIONS. [A summary of a paper by F. W. Muncie, of the University of Illinois, read before the Illi- nois State Florists' Association at Peoria, March U, 1913.] The experimental work during 1912-13 includes a combination of the experiments carried on during the previous year and described in our pamphlet published in July, 1912, in regard to the relative effi- ciency of commercial fertilizers and nat- ural manures for growing carnations. The data from October 1 to December 17, 1912, bear out the conclusions drawn from the results of last year, that the number and quality of flowers produced by either method are practically the same. It seems well here to repeat the amount of fertilizers used and to describe the method of application. When the soil is put into the benches in the latter part of July, two pounds of, dried blood, two pounds of acid phosphate and two pounds of potassium sulphate are mixed with the soil for each 100 square feet of bench space and thoroughly worked in with trowels; and, after a thorough watering, the soil is allowed to stand over night be- fore setting the plants. At three other times during the year, at about Novem- ber 1, January 1 and February 15, addi- tional applications of two pounds of dried blood worked into the top inch of soil Krectlng the Pipe Frame.

Splitting and Stem Strength. The results indicate no danger of caus- ing splitting by treatment with commer- cial fertilizers. In the variety White - Enchantress, 97.1 per cent of the flowers in each case were those with perfect calyces; in the variety White Perfection 87 per cent of the flowers had perfect calyces when grown with natural manures and 94.7 per cent when grown with com- mercial fertilizers. We may safely con- clude from these data that the use of commercial fertilizers will not lead to an aLiiornial percentage of splits. In order to determine the effects of commercial fertilizers upon the strength of stems, flowers were gauged as first, second or third, according to their stem strength, first indicating the normal con- dition and third an excessive weakness. With White Enchantress, treatment with natural manures produced flowers, 78 per cent of which were classed as first; with commercial fertilizers, 76.8 per cent, while in the variety White Perfection the percentages are 89.7 per cent and 98 per cent respectively. Clearly then, the use of commercial fertilizers will not lead to weakness in stems. Keeping Quality of Flowers. Eecords were kept in 1909-*0 and 1911- 1^, as well as during the present year, to determine whether raising flowers with commercial fertilizers injures their keep- ing quality.

You can gradually work the stig- monose out of your carnation stock by selecting your cuttings. Select cut- tings which do not show any of these light spots. When the cuttings are rooted, select again, as the disease will frequently show at that time, even though the young shoots appeared quite clean when the cuttings were taken. If any of it shows after the plants have become established in the pots, cull them out again. By constant selection you can, after a few seasons, have your stock entirely clean. How many seasons it will take, will depend entirely on how critically you do . the selecting. A. F. J. B. LAWSON OF YORK. Jos. W. Lawson started in business at York, Neb., a little over two years ago, making bis beginning with one house 25x100. During the last season he added two other houses, one 27x100 and the other 12x90, giving his ee^ab- lishment the appearance shown in the smaller of the two accompanying illus- trations. Hot water is used for heat- ing, the apparatus having been installed by Mr. Lawson himself. The boiler house contains two No. 27 Mercer water heaters. Jhe piping is all 2V^-inch pipe and he says his home-made system gives him perfect satisfaction. His main crop is carnations, and at the recent ex- hibition at Lincoln, under the auspices of the Nebraska State Florists' Asso- ciation, he took first premiums on white and on light pink. He grows roses in small quantities, also sweet peas, mums, violets, smilax and potted plants. One bench is given to lettuce, which proves a profitable crop. Business has been excellent this season. He had a splen- did Christmas trade, amounting to sev- eral times as^,much as a year ago, and there has been a good, steady demand for wedding, funeral and society flowers all through the season. He is looking forward to needing still more glass. IN NORTH CAROLINA. The illustration on page 28 will show that carnations can be grown in North Carolina just as successfully as in other climates. This house is 20x80, though the picture shows only half of it. It is one of three houses planted to carnations by Fred EoU, Durham, N. C, a town a good many smokers have heard of. Mr. EoU has something over 2,500 carnation plaHts and has cut good stock steadily. He complains that this has been the warmest winter in fifteen years, with hyacinths blooming out- doors at the end of January. He thinks a colder climate vastly more favorable for florists.

Plants which are flowering should have a night temperature as near 50 degrees as possible; better have it 48 degrees rather than 52 degrees. The* day tem- perature, when dark and overcast, may advance 8 degrees, and on sunny days 15 degrees, with an abundance of fresh air. Do not allow the houses to become warm and then proceed to rush on a lot of air, nor allow them to get chilly and shut down tight in the same way. Open the ventilators gradually, and close gradually. The surest way to bring on mildew is by careless ventilation. Plants which now have short stems should be pulled out and their places taken by some other crop. From this time on there will be so many long-stemmed flowers on the market that the grower with short-stemmed stock, unless he can utilize it in funeral work, will have con- siderable trouble in disposing of it. Houses which are now coming into crop should give splendid stems, provided the plants are allowed four to six inches apart in the rows and the rows are not too close together. Four to six feet are usual distances, six feet being better where space will permit of it. Plants in flower, in fact all sweet peas, must be gone over regularly and given proper support. Soft, white twine run lengthwise of the rows, caught here and there to the upright strings supporting the plants, makes thi best and neatest support. These supports must be given promptly, for once the stems get bent or twisted, the flower stems from such are unsalable. Then the question of judicious feeding is a most important one. I get constant inquiries from growers asking why their peas come short-stemmed. One cause is too thick sowing; the other, in- sufficient plant food. Sweet peas must have a deep, rich soil if they are to bloom for a long period and produce strong stems, and they must also have liquid manure or topdressings of pulverized sheep manure, fine bone or cow manure. All these are good, and, after applying them, lightly stir the surface soil prior to watering. It is better not to use chem- ical stimulants; these may create a strong growth and give long stems, but it is usually found they make growths and flowers soft and that plants soon deterio- rate after such stimulants are applied. In the matter of fumigation also ex- treme care is necessary. It is easy to scorch the foliage and then blame the damage on some other imaginary cause. When fumigation has to be done, let it be in light doses and do not keep the ven- tilators closed all night, particularly on warm nights. Where plants are near the heating pipes, there is always danger of red spider getting a foothold. Force of water through a spray nozzle is the best preventive. For some years we were limited in our raiij^e of colors in sweet peas for forcing, but now practically all shades are avail- able, and as the Spencer types have prac- tically driven the grandiflora varieties from the field for outdoor culture, the ad- vent of a large number of new Spencer winter bloomers, with habits and charac- teristics otherwise resembling such sorts as Mont Blanc and Christmas Pink, makes it probable that in four or five years nothing but Spencer varieties will be seen under glass, for certainly where Spencer flowers are obtainable it is hard work to sell the grandifloras. SWEET PEA LEAVES DYING. Can you tell me what is the matter with the enclosed sweet pea leaves? The old leaves become diseased and drop oflF. What is the cause and the cure, if any? The plants are otherwise healthy and giving good bloom, but the stems are short on the laterals. J. M. Without knowing anything of the cul- tural conditions, etc., it is not easy to give the reason for sweet pea foliage dying. If the plants are standing too- closely in the rows, stem-rot may de- velop. Again, if you have hilled them up or given an additional covering of soil, as is often advised for outdoor sweet peas, you are sure to have the same trouble. If the same soil has been previously used for sweet peas, without any change of crops, you may expect diseased plants. Even partial drynesa at the root will cause leaves to die off. Sometimes, also, the seeds are saved from plants which, if not actually dis- eased, have but little vitality, and their offspriftg or some portion of them will come diseAWd. If your plants are in raised benches,, you will not get as long and strong stems as in solid beds. The former dry out too quickly, and sweet pea& like to- have their roots cool and moist. Pre- suming that you had well enriched soil for them, they would be much benefited now by a top-dressing of sheep manure or old cow manure, while liquid manure once a fortnight would materially im- prove them. A temperature of 48 to 50 degrees at night, 56 to 58 degrees on dull days and 62 'to 65 degrees as a' maximum on clear days, should be main- tained. C. W. ROOT-KNOT ON POT PLANTS. What is the cause of root-knot on be- gonias and petunias? How can it be prevented and cured? S. B. I have not experienced any of this trouble on begonias and petunias. If you could use sterilized soil when pot- ting, it should disappear. By using lime and soot, especially the latter, the; trouble should be minimized. C. W. ac ac ac ac f SEASONABLE s^ \ \ 9^ SUGGESTIONS \ ac ac Mignonette. The second and third sowings of mignonette are now giving some splen- did spikes, and, while hot weather holds off, the quality will hold good. Keep the temperature down at night; 40 to 42 degrees is sufficiently warm, but on many nights this winter the outside temperature has exceeded these figures, so all we can do is to keep them as cool as possible. If you have a really good strain, it will pay to select one or two of the finest spikes for seed, as there is great variation in the seed sold. Even the highest priced will produce many comparatively worthless flowers. Once a fine stem carrying large flowers, light in color, with the flowers closely set on the spikes, is secured, it will pay to hold on to it. The beds will now dry out much fast- er and, as mignonette loves to have its roots cool and moist, care should be taken that the soil does not get into a dry condition. A mulch of old manure spread between the rows will keep the surface soil moist and less watering will be needed. Plants just coming into flower should have liquid manure once a week. Do not use chemical fer- tilizers; cow or sheep manure liquid i& the best. Palms. Before the real spring rush starts, a few days should be allowed for over- hauling palms. Some may need repot- ting or retubbing, while others will re- quire only a top-dressing. Add some 14 -inch bone to the soil where retubbing will not be needed again for several years. Bone meal can be added where a couple of years will elapse before plants are to be repotted again. A good fibrous loam, sharp sand and one-fourth of old and well decayed manure make* a suitable soil for kentias, arecas, lata- nias and phoenix. The weaker growing Cocos Weddelliana, which makes com- paratively few roots, does better in loam, with sand and some leaf-mold added where the loam is heavy and retentive. Any sponging required should now be done. Many plants can be cleaned with cold water alone, but where scale exists, the leave"^ should be treated with Aphine, fir tree oil, or some other in- secticide. MABCH 6, 1913. The Florists^ Review 31 Ectablishment of B. Lipman, Columbia City, Ind. LIPMAN'S SUCCESS. To the general public Indiana is known as the birthplace of poets, just as Ohio is known as the birthplace of presidents, but in the trade the Hoosier State has its renown as the home of successful florists. Since taking possession of the D. C. Noble place at Columbia City, Ind., B. Lipman has done splendidly. Before removing to Indiana Mr. Lipman was employed at a number of well-known eastern establishments, among them the Floral Exchange, Edgely, Pa.; 8. J. Reuter & Son, Westerly, E. I.; L. A. Noe, Madison, N. J.; J.' J. Habermehl's Sons, Philadelphia, and D. B. Edwards, Atlantic City, N. J. When he followed the star of empire on its westward way he located with the South Park Floral Co., at New Castle, Ind. This was in October, 1904. For two years he was a grower of roses there, and then he transferred to the shipping department, where he remained until April 29, 1911. He took possession of the Noble estab- lishment May 1 of that year, having made a lease for ten years. The place at that time was devoted entirely to carnations. Mr. Lipman dropped a part of the carnations to make space for Killarney, White Killarney, Bride and Richmond, with a few Beauties to test the growing qualities of the soil. Let him tell the rest of it: "I found that this was a good loca- tion and that a good paying business could be built up here. I therefore de- cided to purchase the plant, instead of continuing with my lease. This I did, taking over the Northside Greenhouse April 1, 1912. I have been successful in the rose growing line up to the present, inis season I am growing 2,000 iJeauties, with which I have had good success, having had a continuous cut and producing some fine flowers. My place consists of six houses 21x150, one house 14x72 and one house 10x50, nf ^ ^ith the following: One house n^i ^x^n*'^^' *^'"ee houses of Killarney and White Killarney; 500 Brides and ooZf f^^ations. I have been so suc- rWi^"!,T*^' the Beauties that I have o^virn *'' add two houses this spring, r, nnn T^^'*'^^' ^^^^^^ I '"tend to fill with pS .T'i*^ P^^°t«- My stock is dis- iia? w*> E. G.

"The picture represents a part of the stock shipped out for the holiday trade and contains 5,000 blooms; we shipped in all 15,000 blooms for the Christmas trade." The other picture is the ex- terior view of the plant. ASTERS FOR INSIDE CULTURE. If we plant, in benches under glass, Queen of the Market aster plants from 214-inch pots, April 15, "when will they be in crop for cut flowers? Is it bet- ter to grow them to a single flower per plant or several to a plant, as in out- door growing? If grown several flow- ers to a plant, what will be a safe aver- age number of high-grade flowers per plant? If grown to a single bloom per plant, how closely should the plants be set or spaced? W. G. Queen of the Market asters planted in benches about the middle of April should give a few flowers by the middle of June, and will continue flowering for quite a number of weeks. It will not pay you to grow these to a single bloom per plant. They do not come very dou- ble, like the Coojut*) Victorias and Vick's branching varieties. Most of the grower* of asters who plant inside allow all the flowers to develop, having use for even the shortest-stemmed ones for funeral work. Queen of the Market is a wonderfully prolific aster, and I would suggest taking out the first ter- minal flower and then allowing the ter- minals on all side shoots to develop, rubbing off any side buds which appear. This will give you nice, salable flowers. I have had g«|od results by setting the plants eight inches apart in the rows and running the rows twelve inches apart. If you should decide to grow, say, only four to six flowers per plant, the rows could be as close as nine inches. If only one flower per plant is desired, six by six inches will be sufficient, but you will find the me- dium flowers are more desirable. Use a compost such as will grow good carna- tions or mums, and treat similarly to mums. C. W. CORNFLOWERS FOR MAY 30. Will you kindly tell me the best way to grow the double blue cornflowers out- doors, to come in right for Decoration day here, in southern New Jersey? I grew these in pots last year, from seed- lings started in the fall, but they damped off in the field. They were cool grown, so I cannot understand it. I thought of sowing the seed outdoors and thinning out. If this is advisable, when is the best time to sow the seed? H. K. Sow the seeds at once in 3-inch pots. Thin the seedlings out to three in each pot. Start in a moderately cool house, kept at 45 to 48 degrees at night. The little plants should be gradually hard- ened off and planted out by April 10 in well manured ground, where the cul- tivator should be frequently plied among them. Whether these cornflowers will give a heavy crop for Memorial day outdoors will depend much, of course, on the season. The seed can be sown outdoors just as soon as frost has left the ground and the soil has sufficiently dried. With you this should be possible toward the end of March, possiblv a little earlier. C. W. B. Lipman's Cut, December 21, 1912. The Florists' Review Mabch 6, 1913. HABDY EVEBBLOOMING BOSES. I should like to get the names of some roses that are everblooming, that can be cut from summer until frost out- side and that will winter in the ground without injury in this Pennsylvania climate. G. E. S. The hybrid tea class will be the most useful for you. These are not quite so hardy as the hybrid perpetuals, but are more persistent bloomers. A few good varieties to plant are: Gruss an Tep- litz, bright crimson; Radiance, cerise pink; Dark Pink Killarney; White Kil- larney; Mme. Caroline Testout, satiny rose; Mme. Abel Chatenay, carmine rose, shaded salmon; Mme. Eavary, deep yellow; Viscountess Folkestone, creamy pink; Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, white, tinted lemon; Konigin Carola, satiny rose. If your minimum winter temperature falls much below zero, it is safer to lift and bury these roses, replanting them each spring as soon as the ground is open. In less severe weather, if earthed up and protected with straw they will winter saftely. Among the more persistent flowering hybrid perpetuals, Frau Karl Druschki, white; Mrs. R. G. Sharman-Crawford, rosy pink, and Mrs. John Laing, satiny pink, are a good trio. One or two other roses you should plant are: Clothilde Soupert, white, shaded pink, and Maman Cochet, both white and pink va- rieties. These latter are teas and are better heeled in a coldframe over win- ter. Hermosa, pale pink, is also useful for cutting. C. W. ROSES FOB MEMORIAL DAY. We are desirous of getting a quantity of pot roses in bloom for Memorial day. Can you inform us how they should be handled in order to get them in? The varieties are baby ramblers, Magna Charta, Mrs. Cutbush, Ulrich Brunner and Frau Karl Druschki. J. C. None of the roses named will need much forcing to flower them for Me- morial day. If not already potted, see that they are got in readiness at once. Of course, if they were potted late in the fall, they will do all the better for it. Keep them in a cold cellar or pit, as near the freezing point as possible. They will start to grow quickly if given any warmth -at all. The hybrid perpetuals should be pruned back quite hard. Leave three to four eyes on the stronpost shoots and one or two on weaker ones. The baby ramblers need merely to have weak and dead wood re- moved and the end of the shoots headed back a little. The roses will not. require a warm house to flower them 4Bv Memorial day. If placed in a greenhouse, kept at 45 degrees at night the • first week in April and 5 degrees warmer when started, they will be on time. If they seem a trifle early, hold them back in a cold house when opening, and any that seem backward can be given a lit- tle more heat. C. W. FOB BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. What roses that are used for green- house planting can also be satisfactorily grown outside for cut flowers, in this Pennsylvania climate, and how should they be handled? G. R. S. Such varieties as Killarney, White Killarney, Killarney Queen, Richmond, Mrs. Aaron Ward, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, Mme. Abel Chatenay, Radiance and My Maryland flower well outdoors, in addition to being good greenhouse roses. Grafted plants, as a rule, are supe- rior to own-root stock outdoors, and field-grown stock is preferable to small plants in pots, although the latter, if in 3-inch to 4-inch pots, do quite well. I have sometimes seen good results ob- tained by heading back stock which was cleaned out of the houses in April, and planting the same outside. The hybrid teas and teas prefer a well manured soil, but a lighter soil than the hybrid perpetuals. Plant so that the grafts are covered two to three inches. Be sure the roots are moist, >and firm the soil thoroughly about them. A mnlch of old m,aiiure in summer is ^beneficial, and if water can be supplied during dry periods the plants will be much benefited. C. W. PLANTING AND TBAINING SMILAX Will you give me some instructions with regard to smilax? How many plants should grow from one ounce of seed? How far apart should they be planted in the beds, for best results? How many vines should be allowed to twine on each string, in order to pro- duce the best possible strings? Some strings that one sees are too matted and bunchy looking. M. T. It is not easy to say how marly plants of smilax one should get from one ounce of seed, as much would depend on the condition of the seed and also on the way in which it might be treated. Seeds sown now ought to produce plants of good size for planting next July, when they should be planted in the bed in rows ten inches apart, the plants being spaced eight inches apart in the rows. All the strong shoots these young plants will produce may be trained up one string, and will be none too large for the average market. W. H. T. DISEASED GEBANIUM FOLIAGE. Will you kindly tell us what is the disease on the enclosed geranium leaves, and also state what is the remedy for it? J. K. & S. This is a common disease on geraniums under glass, and also makes its appear- ance outdoors during spells of hot, moist and sunless weather. If your plants are badly affected I would discard the worst, pick the affected foliage from the others and spread them out so that the foliage of each plant will just clear that of its neighbor. Use care in watering; a com- mon mistake is made in overwatering geraniums. If kept constantly moist they make a soft, sappy growth, which is more susceptible to disease than when the plants are allowed to become fairly dry between the waterings. This latter method hardens the growth, toughens the leaves and makes the plants more disease-proof. Do not play the hose on your plants. A wetting over may make them look nice and fresh, but helps to breed this leaf disease. Clean the plants frequent- ly, giving them a fresh stand, so that they will not become crowded. Let the night temperature run from 45 to 50 degrees, not over the latter figure. Never use any shade on the glass; the plants want all the sun they can get. Ventilate at every possible opportunity; geraniums love plenty of fresh air. When propa- gating, do not leave the cuttings in the sand any longer than is absolutely neces- sary after they are rooted. Weakened constitutions may be often traced to too long a stay in the sand. Do not become discouraged. A little rational treatment will clean out this disease. C. W. Ansonia, Conn. — Frank L. Hotchkiss, who recently sold his greenhouses on Wakelee avenue to the Ansonia Floral Co., has gone to California, in com- pany with Mrs. Hotchkiss. They ex- pect to remain in California for several months. March 0, 1913. The Florists' Review 33 Rose Growing Establishment of McAIpiae Bros., at Ezeter» N. H. McALPINE BROS. Among the best known of the more recent additions to the ranks of New England rose growers are McAlpine Bros., of Exeter, N. H. After care- fully studying the rose growing situa- tion for some time, as well as the gen- eral features and market conditions in and around Boston, W. A. and George F. McAlpine decided to erect one large rose house as a good business invest- mfsnt. Suitable land was procured at Exeter, N. H., where there is a gocl soil for roses, as well as a pure atmosr phere, and a Lord & Burnham house, 60x400, was erected and planted in the summer of 1911. The brothers, in order to achieve the best results, decided to divide their labors. William A., who had had some years- of experience as salesman for William H. Elliott, his uncle, and for the J. A. Budlong & Son Co., of Auburu, K. I., decided that he was best fitted to attend to the firm's interests at the selling end, in the Boston Flower Ex change, while his brother, George F., who had spent some years at W, H, Elliott's big Madbury establishment as foreman and achieved marked success there, took charge of the growing tnd, at Exeter. The new firm's name, Mc- Alpine Bros., New England Rose Con- servatories, Exeter, N. H., soon became known in flower growing circles. The first year the young firm achieved such success that their roses were eagerly sought after by the most critical buyers, and it was therefore de- cided to erect another Lord & Burnham house, 60x400, early in 1912. This was planted the same season and the prod- ucts of the two houses are of such qual- ity that they are already known beyond the confines of New England. No time or space has been wasted by experimenting on new and untried sorts, only such as the public demands being grown. The varieties raised are: American Beauty, Killarney and White Killarney, Killarney Queen, Mrs. Aaron Ward, Lady Hillingdon and Richmond. The Richmonds grown at Exeter have caused many a gasp of astonishment this season, both in New York and Bos- ton — stems up to seventy-two inches in length and flowers of marvelous size and substance. Other roses are equally well grown, leaving no doubt that this young and progressive firm has made good and is in the field to stay. W. N. Craig. WITH NEAR-BOSTON GROWERS. The new carnation house of Wm. R. Nicholson, at Framingham, Mass., Lord & Burnham construction, is a grand sight, feeing a veritable sheet of flow- ers and buds. All the other carnation houses are in good crop also. Beacon has, of late, burst heavily, the first year it has done so. A small batch of Commodore looked well, and this will be largely planted next season. Whit© Wonder and White Enchantress are fine, with not much choice between them. Benora is splendid. Pocahontas is a big fancy crimson, now giving a great crop. Pink Delight has the field to itself in its particular color, and Gloriosa is do- ing splendidly. Golden Ray is bloom- ing profusely, but is rather small, and two new yellows will be substituted for it next season. Some promising seed- lings were noted in one house. Mignon- ette as grown here is grand; probably none better is to be found in the coun- try. Several houses are devoted to yel- low marguerites, mostly old veterans with gnarled stems. Grown in large pots which were partially plunged, they are giving some fine flowers. Shant- rocks in small pans were well grown. Freesias are also grown here in quan- tity. The Godfrey calla is a wonderful bloomer as growii.here, as many as six flowers being open on one 8-inch pot. Mr. Nicholson has plans laid for a big carnation house for 1914, dimensions to be 80x450. This house will accommo- date 35,000 plants. S. J. Goddard, South Framingham, Interior of One of the Rose Houses of McAlpine Bros., Exeter, N. H. 34 The Florists' Review Mabcii 6, 1913. Mass., has severai . fine houses of car- nations, his most recent house, of King construction, being in particularly good shape. In whites he prefers White Per- fection to White Wonder, and will grow less of the latter next season. Rosette was carrying some excellent flowers and St. Nicholas was in fine crop. Beacon has hardly burst at all. Benora here was fine, as, indeed, it is everywhere. Helen Goddard still is grown in quan- tity; nothing superior of its shade has yet appeared. The old Harry Fenn will have to make way for the larger new varieties, but there have been few greater money-makers than this good old crimson. Pink Delight and Glo- riosa both looked well, and are leaders in their respective shades. Lady North- -cliffe, an English variety similar to Pink Delight, seems to be a free bloomer. A bright crimson seedling, No. 59, raised by Dorner, looked well and will be more heavily planted next season. Begonia Gloire de Chatelaine is grown in quantity and is equally good as a pot plant or bedder, flower- ing the whole year. A good assortment of plants for retail trade is grown. The business steadily increasing, a King construction house 10x131 will be built this season, for small pot plants. Orchids at J. T. Butterworth 's. South Framingham, never looked so well. It is not necessary for Mr. Butterworth to be continually importing, as he has the faculty of keeping his cattleyas in good health indefinitely, and increas- ing them also. Some baskets of Cat- tleya Triana?, carrying twenty-five flow- ers each, were fine. All the other cat- tleyas, such as gigas, Schrcedera?, Mos- siffi and labiata, were in grand health, and some of the specimen plants were immense. One basket of Laslia anceps carried twenty spikes, and there were others almost equally good. Specimens of Cymbidium Sanderi (insigne) carry- ing spikes six feet high, with eleven to thirteen flowers each, were the flnest 1 had seen. Dendrobiums, Miltonia vexil- laria, cypripediums, vandas and other orchids all looked much at home. Mr. Butterworth does not believe in feed- ing orchids. He uses fern fiber exclu- sively in potting or basketing, and is careful to make the compost fine. Dutch bulbs are grown here in quantity. Lily of the valley is well done. In the car- nation houses Gloriosa, W^insor, White Wonder, Beacon and Pink Delight are grown. At Robert Montgomery's, at Natick, roses are the specialty, all the glass be- ing devoted to them except one house, which is occupied bv Easter lilies and young rose stock and was earlier planted with chrysanthemums. The roses grown are Killarney. W'hite Killarney, Richmond and Mrs. Ward, all being the picture of health. All flowers grown here are sold at the Boston Cooperative Market. One new rose house 30x200 will be built here the coming season. As a side issue, Mr. Montgomery has an aviary of considerable size. Pheasants, Golden Silver, Lady Amherst and Eng- lish, are his special favorites. .Tames Wheeler is located close to Robert Montgomery in Natick. He is one of the newest but most successful of growers for the Boston market. Car- nations are his specialty and they are well grown. Benora, as elsewhere, looked superb. W^hite Wonder, White Enchantress and White Perfection are all grown in quantity and it was hard to say which was best. In production to date White Enchantress is in the lead. Beacon hardly showed a burst flower. Pink Delight and Gloriosa were each good. A large bed of yellow marguer- ites, propagated last summer and fall, and now over four feet high, were flow- ering freely and rather knocked the theory that it is necessary to carry over old plants each season. Pink and yellow snapdragons looked first-class. Mignonette, gladioli and Coelogyne cris- tata also are grown. Mr. Wheeler has built himself a fine stone bungalow and is comfortably located. His flowers go via electric express on the Boston and Worcester street railroad each day and are sold at the Boston Cooperative Market. W. N. Craig. VARIEGATED VINCA. Will you kindly answer the follow- ing through the columns of The Re- view? When is the proper time to lift variegated vinca from the field to put under glass to force for spring sales? Can they be taken from the field and put under glass at once, or is it advisable to put them in a cellar for a while and thus avoid a sudden change? I have a number of plants in the field and would be grateful to you for any light on the subject. W, B. This popular plant should be lifted not later than October, potted and placed at once in a greenhouse. Along the edges of benches is often found a convenient place for them. If your plants are still alive I would suggest lifting and potting them at once. They will soon make a crop of cuttings suit- able for propagating purposes. These, rubbed off with a heel, root quickly, but pieces of mature wood also will root. They do not need a warm house to root in. One such as is used for car- nations is all right. C. W. NEW YOEK. The Market. Another week of extreme dullness has been added to Lent. During the last few days the spring-like weather seemed to give a little impetus to business and redeemed the week from making a rec- ord for dullness. Beauties suddenly de- veloped a scarcity, which caused an advance in quotations to 7.5 cents to $1 for specials. It was only in the higher grades that this scarcity was noticeable. Shorts with imperfect flowers were plentiful at 2 cents to 4 cents, although good blooms brought up to 6 cents. Brides, Maids and Killarneys were in full supply at 2 cents to 6 cents, al- though choice blooms brought as much as 8 cents. The specialties have been quiet, although choice Richmonds have been in somewhat better demand as substitutes for Beauties. The yellow roses have been in better supply. Cat- tleyas continue in plentiful supply at 12 cents to ."30 cents, according to qual- ity. Easter lilies share with Beauties in being the only firm flowers on the market, ranging from 8 cents to 10 cents. Valley is weak, at $1 to $2.50 per hundred, the supply of shorts being excessive. Gardenias are dull and lower at 50 cents to $2 per dozen. Sweet peas have slumped to 10 cents a dozen bunches for shorts, although choice long-stemmed peas bring as much as $1. Violets lead the list in' weakness, at ]0 cents to 40 cents, with practically no demand at all. Paper Whites are plentiful at 75 cents and up. Callas hold their own at 60 cents to $1.25 per dozen. Lilies have declined to 20 cents to 50 cents, with few buy- ers at the decline. Tulips are plentiful at 50 cents to $1. Freesias go begging at 5 cents to 15 cents per bunch. Bulb stock generally is in full supply. There is a steady growth in the supplies of old-fashioned flowers, such as wall: flowers, stocks, etc., which are gaining in popular favor. Pansies are coming in freely and fine flowers are offered at 15 cents per dozen bunches. Ama- ryllis brings 20 cents per flower. Various Notes. J. Austin Shaw, manager of the New York office of The Review, has been ill at the Seney hospital, Brooklyn, since February 14. For the first week of his illness Mr. Shaw was delirious and his death was momentarily expected. His fever and delirium have passed, how- ever, leaving him weak but on the road to recovery. In fact, unless some un- foreseen complication develops he will probably be able to leave the hospital for his home within a week. During his illness he has been remembered by many of his friends in the trade, his room at the hospital being at times filled with flowers. Communications sent to his residence either by mail or telephone have prompt attention from his assistant. The eight directors were present at the regular monthly meeting of the New York Cut Flower Exchange, which was held at the Queens Plaza Court, under the presidency of John Donald- son. Only routine business was trans- acted. Wm. Elliott & Sons will appropri- ately celebrate St. Patrick's day by their opening auction of evergreens, rhododendrons, etc. The New York Flower Auction Co., 146 West Twenty-eighth street, seems to have discontinued business, as the store bears a " To Let ' ' sign. 'The busi- ness opened last fall, with John Cleary as auctioneer. .Tohn Young, secretary of the Society of American Florists and of the New York Florists' Club, was taken to Roosevelt hospital February 23 and operated on for carbuncle on the neck. He is doing well and expects to be out again before long. His friends in the trade have been kind in sending flow- ers, so many being sent that all the patients have been able to share in Mr. Young's enjoyment of them. George J. Gould has added three large houses to his private range at Castle Gould, Lakewood, N. J. The MacNiff Horticultural Co., like Woodrow Wilson, had an inauguration March 4. when it held the inaugural sale of its extensive new building on Vesey street. The date was two weeks earlier than the usual opening time for auction sales, due to the mild season in Holland, which has justified earlier shipment of stock. C. C. Trepel has opened another branch, at the store of Simpson, Craw- ford & Co., on Sixth avenue. He now has stores at Gimbel's and Blooming- dale's in New York and at Lozier's, at the Blossom, opposite Lozier's, and at Gates and Bedford avenues, Brooklyn. Joseph Trepel has opened his third store on Broadway, Brooklyn, near Butterman's. W^ith his stores at Lewis Mabch «, 1913. The Florists^ Review 35 avenue and in the Greenpoint section, this makes five stores which he oper- ates. The two brothers between them get rid of large quantities of flowers and their visits to the wholesale mar- ket are welcome, as they frequently clear out surplus stock in a most re- freshing manner. At the February meeting of the New York Florists' Club A. S. Burns, Jr., of Spring Valley, N. Y., showed a new seedling carnation named Electra, which was given eighty-six points by the judges. In reporting this fact in the issue of February 13, through a tele- grapher's error credit was given to Mr. McKnight, who exhibited some other flowers, for producing Electra. The committee undoubtedly will award Mr. Burns a certificate as soon as they liave an opportunity of visiting his greenhouses to see the growing plants. The seedsmen are all busy and agree in saying that more greenhouses are being built than ever before at this season. The Henry M. Kobinson Co. says sales on the new rose, Mrs. Charles Kussell, which is a debutante of this season, have held up remarkably well in a season of dullness. The Miss Helen Taft is another specialty that sells well. The old Broadway Central hotel has been overrun with Hollanders who are over here selling Dutch bulbs, ever- greens, etc. In response to a call issued by Mrs. F. H. Traendly, a meeting of the Ladies' Committee of the New York Florists' Club was held at the Wood- stock hotel February 28. About twenty ladies were present. Charles B. Weath- ered, chairman of the entertainment committee, also was present to aid in the organization of the committee. Mrs. Traendly was elected chairman, Mrs. Julius Koehrs, Jr., secretary, and Mrs. Joseph Manda treasurer. After a general discussion, subcommittees were appointed to care for different phases of the entertainment in connection with the approaching flower show. C. A. M. Wertheimer Bros, report an unprece- dented demand for Easter novelties. Will the bill introduced at Albany, if "„^®<^omes a law, regulate the operations ot those selling cut flowers and plants on commission as well as those selling vege- tables and fruits? It is a question that IS interesting some of the wholesalers. MINNEAPOLIS. The Market. Business continues as good as could ^e expected during Lent.

Publicity Work. Minneapolis florists have not made as much noise in the trade as have some others, but the cooperative adver- tising now being tried in other cities has been in use here for some time. The first attempt was made at Mothers' day in 1912, as the result of an article in The Review that pointed out the way. It was so successful that it has since been repeated, and will be con- tinued. The last effort was for St. Valentine's day, February 14, when a committee of which C. N. Ruedlinger is chairman raised $130 by subscrip- tion and published some attractive de- signed advertisements in the leading papers, also securing some well writ- ten news articles on the increasing use of flowers as valentines. No names appeared in the advertisements. Dinner to S. A. F. Directors. The directors of the S. A. F. held a two days' meeting here February 25 and 26, in preparation for the conven- tion next August. The work was put through with expedition and the plans of the Convention Association of Min- neapolis, recently organized ■ by the florists, were approved. Wednesday evening, February 26, the officials were tendered a dinner by the local mem- bers, at the Hotel Eadisson. The visit- ors present were: President J. K. M. L. Farquhar, Boston; Treasurer W. F. Kasting, Buffalo; Ex-president Eichard Vincent, White Marsh, Md., and the following directors: A. F. Poehlmann, Morton Grove, 111.; Thos. Roland, Nahant, Mass.; E. A. Peirce, Waltham, Mass.; H. A. Bunyard, New York; C. H. Totty, Madison, N. J., and J. A. Evans, Richmond, Ind.; also George Asmus, who was acting as secretary in place of John Young, who was ill in New York, and A. F. Longren and H. Nicholson, of Chicago. The Twin City florists who were present were: Theo- dore Wirth, Wm. N. Steel, C. N. Rued- linger, C. A. Bossen, Louis Boeglin, S. D. Dysinger, 0. J. Olson, E. P. Holm, L. L. May, Hugh Will, A. S. Rice, Henry Will, O. C. Swanson, G. A. Will, C. F. Rice, Fred Busch, A. Klinker- berry, J. A. Ridgway, T. Commandros, Louis Dancik, L. G. Boughner, L. F. Nordeen, M.

H. Bofferding. The dinner was a most enjoyable affair in all its features. Most of the visitors were called on for remarks and in addition most of the Twin City leaders had something to say that showed- how enthusiastically the ap- proaching convention is regarded here. H. South Orange, N. J. — Joseph Manda, recognized as one of our best orchid experts, regrets that the value of space compels him to relinquish the growing of many beautiful varieties and confine himself to commercial or everyday kinds. His fine collection embraces On- cidium splendidum, Cattleya Dowiana and C. Gaskelliana. Among the latter were eleven imported plants, one of which flowered pure white and was sold recently for $150. OBITUAEY. Henry Behder. Henry Rehder, father of Will Rehder, the florist of Wilmington, N. C, died February 22, after a brief illness. He was in his eightieth year. An especially sad circumstance connected with his death was the fact that his wife, who had been his constant companion and helpmate for many years, was also on a bed of illness and was in too serious a condition to be told any of the sad news about her husband. Though Mr, Rehder had retired from active business, he continued to assist his son until a few days before his death. He was born in the little town of Vegesack, Germany. He came to America when a young man, and lo- cated first in New York city, but soon removed to Wilmington. When he ar- rived the agitation preceding the Civil war was in progress and he took up the cause of the people of his chosen home, serving through the four years of the war as a member of the German Volunteers. During the reconstruction period he returned to Wilmington, where he was married and began to build up business and recover from the losses he had sustained. While never a rich man, he was one of the well-to-do business men of the city. He had four sons, John H., C. F., Will and Carl B. Rehder, all of whom still reside in Wilmington. Funeral services were held at the home, 819 Red Cross street, and later at St. Paul's Lutheran church, of which Mr. Rehder was the oldest mem- ber. Among the numerous floral offer- ings were designs from Raleigh and Greensboro, N. C, and from Washing- ton, D. C. William Blacker. William Blacker, of Clearfield, Pa., died February 21. He was born in Bristol, August '22, 1855, left England in 1880 and came to Houtzdale, where he re- mained until about fourteen years ago, when he removed to Clearfield. Mr. Blacker was a local preacher in the Prim- itive Methodist church until a few years ago, when he had to give up the work on account of his health. He then started in the florists ' business in Houtzdale. Shortly after he returned to Clearfield and became superintendent of Hillcrest cemetery. He also erected seven green- houses and was regarded as one of the most successful florists in that part of the state. He is survived by his wife, one son and five daughters. Peter Morscheiser. Peter Morscheiser, aged 75 years, for many years a florist in La Salle, 111., died February 24. He had been aUing only a week and had been seriously ill only for two days. Pneumonia was the cause of death. Elijah Cottingham. Elijah Cottingham, of New Castle, Ind., died February 20, aged 41 years. He is survived by a wife and his par- ents. James A. Hovey. From Newton Highlands, Mass., comes word of the death there last week of James A. Hovey, for several years in charge of the seed department of the George A. Weaver Co., New- port, R.

The Eeview brings results. Azaleas will not be abundant this Easter. Shipments now may be made C. O. D. by parcel post. The collection, return charge and insurance are to be prepaid by affixing 10 cents in parcel post stamps. This is not the special number of The Be view; this 132-page issue is all in the day's work. The Easter Number comes out next week. It promises to set an- other new mark for trade journalism in this field. The fall show at Cleveland was so suc- cessful that the Ohio Horticultural So- ciety announces a spring exhibition June 12 to 14, to be held at Gray's armory. Copies of the premium list may be had by addressing John N. Stockwell, 218 City Hall, Cleveland. For the last few weeks there has been an exasperating increase in the com- plaints of the non-arrival of The Review. The cause has not yet been found. The papers are mailed regularly every Thursday; they should be delivered as unfailingly. It will be considered a fa- vor if subscribers will write any time the paper has not arrived forty-eight hours after the usual hour of delivery. Your package by mail will get spe- cial delivery, just like a letter, if, in ad- dition to the parcel post stamps, you put on the 10-cent special delivery stamp or aflBx 10 cents of ordinary postage stamps, marking the package "For Special Delivery." It is an ex- tension of the parcel post service that should be the means of largely increas- ing its value to retail florists. BUSINESS EMBABRA.8SMENTS. Albuquerque, N. M. — The judge of the district court has issued an order for the sale of the property of the Albuquerque Floral Co. A receiver for the company was appointed a short time ago, as reported in The Review of February 20. The property for the most part is plants and shrubs that require constant attention, according to the petition for a sale, and to con- duct the business on a paying basis it would be necessary to replenish the stock of flowers and make repairs on ihe buildings. Sufficient funds for this work are not at hand, so the judge or- dered the receiver to sell the property at public or private sale. Fort Wayne, Ind. — J. E. Hauswirth, formerly of Chicago, has filed a petition in bankruptcy here, scheduling liabili- ties of $3,769.85 and assets of $237. AGAIN THE RECORD. The classified ads still increase — each week since January 1 there has been a handsome increase in these busy little liners in spite of the fact that a good many stay only a few insertions, like this: Discontinue the geranium advertisement for the present; It has done great work for me. — H. M. Totman, Randolph, Vt., February 23, 1913. Or is it because of such letters as the above that the department grows? At any rate, last week's issue con- tained thirty-seven columns of classi- fied plant advertisements, practically all sent in unsolicited by advertisers who had tried them before with good results; in fact, a good many florists now grow stock specially to wholesale through the use of these liners. It makes possi- ble a neat increase in a prosperous local business. CHICAGO. The Great Central Market. Business has continued to improvQ during the last week, as it usually does as Lent draws out of the first half. There has been an abundance of stock of every kind, but it has been possible to clean out most of it at a price, so that the waste has been slight. The special feature of the market has been the small supply of strictly first- class Beauties, the large supply and not too brisk demand for sweet peas, and the overwhelming arrivals of violets, with no possibility of selling them all at any price. Violets never have sold in the last week in February so cheaply as they did this year. There appears to be no explanation except increased supply and decreased popularity. The singles have been blooming prodigiously and the New York growers evidently find the Chicago market one of their best, even if it is lower than ever be- fore at this time of year. There are heavy supplies of sweet peas of all grades. The best bring as much as $2 per hundred, while it is difficult to clear the shortest peas at 30 cents per hundred. In fact, the supply of all grades is so large that the buyer who will take a quantity can get a conces- sion on almost any grade or color. If a buyer needed 100 long-stemmed Beauties, every one perfect, he would have trouble finding them; indeed, to get a dozen perfect flowers of one March <'>• 1013. The Florists^ Review 37 ■■i" ••">•!

Fbone 2905 Randolph length is not easy at present, but the growers say the new crop will alter this unfavorable state of affairs and that good Beauties soon will be abun- dant again. Other roses are in good supply and of first-class color. Kich- mond is so fine that many are using it instead of Beauties. ^ " i Carnations continue to come in heavily but they are making rather better prices, perhaps because the quality has im- proved. There still are more splits than usual, just why nobody can tell, but the average quality of the stock is excellent. Lilies are more abu?^dant; evidently some of the crops are early. Callas also are coming in freely. Tu- lips are not so abundant as they were, although there has been little change in prices. Paper Whites are no longer a burden and few Romans are seen. There are moderate quantities of jon- quils and daffodils, but no cumbersome surplus. Freesia is about over. A few stocks, a little mignonette and some good antirrhinum are seen. Valley con- tinues in abundant supply; there are now so many forcers that any -short- age is due to unforeseen demand. ^ The situation in ferns is beconmg^ interesting. Just at a time when the market ordinarily advances, some of the wholesalers are offering ferns below present cost at first hands and there seems to be a disposition td start some- thing that may not be profitably fin- ished.

He says they are getting better prices for carnations than last year and that the sweet peas return more money because of better quality. Kyle & Foerster say that Lent is comparing well with last year. Zech & Mann report satisfaction with present conditions. John Kruchten says his crops are now pretty well off, but that he expects good cuts for Easter. The February weather was almost ex- actly normal, except in the matter of sunshine, of which there was nearly thirty per cent more than usual in the month. The average was seven hours per day, which is sixty-six per cent of the possible, with fifty per cent the usual record for February. Phil Schupp, manager of J. A. Bud- long's, reports that Beauties are show- ing a tendency to improve with better weather conditions. Valley is more in demand than is usual during Lent, which, according to Mr. Schupp, must be due to increased popularity of cor- sage bouquets.

He will grow pot plants, looking to the market for cut flowers, as he antici- pates working up a nice retail trade. John F. Kidwell, president of the Chicago Flower Growers' Association, says a large number of advance Easter orders were on file March 3 and he be- lieves that the out-of-town retailers are realizing the importance of getting their orders in early. Friends of H. H. Wilkerson, man- ager for Henry Wittbold, have been offering congratulations, the occasion being a son, born March 3. Papa Wil- kerson says both mother and son are doing well. John Ganger, of Ganger & Bergman, is again free to pay his undivided at- tention to business cares, after a term of jury service. Mr. Ganger says trade has kept a good pace and he believes rc» moval to the Michigan avenue location has more than doubled the business. Erne & Klingel have found a steady increase in shipping orders lately and, ^with Easter approaching, Mr. Erne figures on record-breaking business. The Bohannon Floral Co. has had a good run of business and, while table decorations have fallen off somewhat, there has been a good sale for bulbous stock, both cut and in pans. Orchids are popular with this store's trade and 42 The Florists' Review Mabch 6, 1918. Mr. Bohannon says it lias more than paid him to push these and single vio- lets — doubles are not handled. Bassett & Washburn say that their average daily cut of carnations for the last ten days has been around 15,000. John Mangel says Lent has not cut down the business as he anticipated and for the last two weeks his staff has found plenty of work. Funeral pieces have been especially numerous and this class of work has helped considerably in holding up the volume of sales. A. L. Yaughan states that while or- ders are more numerous than last year at this time, the footings on the indi- vidual orders do not figure so high, owing to the advanced prices of last winter, due to the extreme weather that caused prices to hold firm. Lubliner & Trinz have not yet se- cured a new location to take the place of their present headquarters on Ran- dolph street. Mr. Trinz announces that their new Chicago theater, on Forty- seventh street, is nearing completion and will be , opened soon. A second theater is in process of construction on Central Park avenue, while the site for a third is being considered. James H. Burdett, whom many florists know as press agent for the flower shows, ex-secretary of the Horticultural Society of Chicago, is now a member of the state civil service commission. His was the first appointment made by the new governor. Paul Blome, 1361 North Clark street, has found considerable business in the way of table decorations and reports trade has held up beyond expectations for Lent. An ^der has been placed with Buchbinder Bros, for one of the new model Buchbinder refrigerators, which, it is hoped, will be ready in time for Easter. Frank Oechslin has been forced to discontinue all shipping business on Easter stock, on account of the heavy local demand. A walk through his establishment explains why business is so rushing, as everything is in apple-pie order and the stock in the best of con- dition. The Geo. Wittbold Co. has put a new Autocar into commission. Tt has a carrying capacity of one and one-half tons and will be used for light delivery purposes in the city. J. W. Davis, of Davenport, la., was in town February 28, with Mrs. Davis, on their way home from a three weeks ' outing in Florida. Mr. Davis is the controlling factor in the model plant of the trans-Mississippi section. He has been picking 20,000 sweet peas a day from one house, shipping them to the A. L. Randall Co. Mrs. K. N. Cooper, manager of the Auburn dale Goldfish Co., seems to be getting more than her share of hard luck since the first of the year. The latter part of December Mrs. Cooper fell on an icy walk and she has not yet recovered from the shock. She has been confined to her home on this ac- count for the last six weeks. As re- ported in The Review, her establish- ment was recentUy burglarized, and on top of all this the mysterious death of a young colored woman, employed by her, is causing Mrs. Cooper consider- able worry.

The Lenten season as yet seems to be almost forgotten and business is as good as could be expected in such cold, uncertain weather. The wholesalers are short on everything. Roses are com- ing into crop again, after a shortage which has continued for five weeks. The Killarneys and Richmonds will be ex- ceptionally fine for Easter, and the Beauties are of splendid quality. Bulb- ous stock is arriving in larger quanti- ties, but is only bringing a fair price. Yellow seems to take the lead in the color of bulbous stock, especially in daffodils. Sweet peas have improved in quality and increased in quantity, but do not seem to move fast. Carnations have advanced a little in price, and they also show a marked improvement in quality. Sprengeri and adiantums are in better demand and the stock is improving. Violets seem to drag, as there are so many on the market. Various Notes. E. D. Ellsworth will have close to 1,800 lily plants ready for Easter, with any quantity of blooms and buds which look exceptionally fine.

The general run of business across the state line seems to have declined somewhat and was not up to expecta- tions. W. J. B. PHILADELPHIA. The Bising Eastern Market. «. March has come quiet as a lamb, with sudden fierce changes to leonine severity that pass almost as quickly. The market is irregular, making it difficult of de- scription. The crops of many flowers are heavier than a week 'ago,- while business is hardly so good, although there have been excellent days. Good ; Beauties are extremely scarce. The rose crops in gen- eral are light, yet the shorts are often unsold. White carnations are in brisk demand at good prices, while the colored varieties do not bring so much; this is particularly true of Enchantress. . Violets are in poor shape; not the flowers; they are all right; but the call for them. An expert believes that the fashion of wear- ing artificial flowers has hurt the violet. Sweet peas are in oversupply ; fine flow- ers bring moderate prices, while poor flowers often bring nothing. Valley is in oversupply. Easter lilies have been hard to market. Snapdragon has fallen in price. Cattleyas are less plentiful, but lack support. Gardenias have only a lim- ited market just now. Daffodils are firmer, with lighter receipts of fine stock. Good tulips, such as Le Matador, Cou- ronne d'Or, Murillo and Lord Rosebery, are in demand, but the ordinary variety lacks support. White lilac has been sell- ing fairly well. Daisies and pansies are good stock most of the time. Shipping is not so heavy as it has been. Producer to Consumer. Much interest has boon oxprpsseil by all BERGER BROS.

THE BEST OF EVERYTHING IN THE MARKET uentJon Tbe Keview waen tou wnie branches of the profession in the adver- tising experiment that has been carried on lately by William A. Leonard, of Lansdowne, Pa Mr. Leonard has been advertising liis roses in a local evening paper, ofl'ering to send fresh flowers cut from his own greenhouses by parcel post at a price lower, grade for grade, than the same roses bring in the stores. This is believed to be the first effort of its kind made in this city and its success will be watched with interest. At first glance it seems like an attempt to kill the goose that lays the golden egg. Ex- actly how the stores can continue to pay good prices in face of such competition is difficult to see. Craig's at Easter. The modern plant of the Robert Craig Co., at Norwood, is an important factor in the production of high grade Piaster plants. Today they have a num- ber of houses devoted to some of the finest stock that has been seen here. I have never seen so much fine Easter blooming stock in one place. There are three houses of unusual promise. The first is filled with roses, Tausend- schon, Juniata, Hiawatha and a few other roses. They have been grown in a low temperature. They are well budded and the picture of rose vigor. The second house is filled with gigan- March 6, 1913.

The third house is also filled with one kind of plant, hydrangeas, ex- tremely well budded, shapely and well clothed with foliage. The smaller part is filled with Otaksa and the larger part with some of the new French varieties. Specimen ferns are a feature at Nor- wood. The older place of the Robert Craig Co., at Forty-ninth and Market streets, filled with all varieties of Easter IS plants of merit, old and new. The lil- ies show the contrast between the Fov- mosas and the shorter multiflorums. The same contrast is seen in roses be- tween the magnificent specimen Crim- son Ramblers and the dwarf new va- rieties of the baby type, led by Mrs. Taft, Phyllis and Orleans.

Perns and foliage plants, with the less important flowering plants, complete the varied stock. The Easter bustle is already beginning. Loads of plants are going out to the early buyers. Their places are being taken by big loads of plants from Norwood. The timing on all va- rieties appears to be wonderfully ac- curate.

We don 't know of any convention that ever meets in this city, says an .\ustin, Minn., newspaper, that is more quiet than the W. B. Perry Florists' Association. The Federated Women's Clubs have their little differences, the Convention of Charities and Correc- tions had its trouble, the Ministerial Association may have its friction, but one couldn't conceive of a florists' con- vention being other than quiet. The florists' work lies with quiet nature, the silent but wonderful manifestation of plant life. When the florists' con- vention convenes no bands are playing a "Hot Time!" No marching bodies with flags and ribbons meet the dele- gates! The mayor never surrenders the keys of the city. There are no ad- dresses of welcome and no programs.

These florists meet twice a year and all of the florists of southern Minne- sota and northern Iowa are members. About fifteen years ago W. B. Perry, a florist of Cresco, invited all his brother florists and their ladies to his place for a social time. Then was organized the association which has met twice a year ever since. The convention lasts three days and the only real set business is the election of a president and secretary. Walter S. Hall, of Osage, always is elected secretary and the president is always the florist who does the enter- taining. The next meeting will be at Charles City, la., so M. H.

The Brix Floral Co., on St. Louis ave- nue, reports an unusual quantity of funeral work all last week, mostly large designs. The C. Young & Sons Co. has the decoration for the spring opening of the Vandervort department store this week, in which nearly 1,000 Beauties will be used. The big force of men started the work Saturday night, March 1. A state board of forestry is to be created at the state capitol this week, according to Senator Cassidy, of St. Louis. This board is to appoint a state forester, to receive $2,500 per year sal- ary. The Florists' Club is to send in the name of an expert after the gov- ernor appoints the new board.

Business has been good for the last few days, as the coming of the suffra- gettes and the other inaugural visitors has made the demand for cut flowers quite satisfactory. Violets, sweet peas, gardenias and orchids lead in popu- larity, though the falsers are handling a large amount of the calls for the vio- lets and sweet peas. Dinner decora- tions, however, are not as plentiful as could be desired, though there are a few good orders to be had. Funeral work has been exceptionally heavy. Various Notes. John H. Small & Sons furnished the flowers and other decorations which graced the rooms of President Wilson and Vice-president Marshall at the Shoreham hotel, and delivered for Henry P.

Robert Bowdler has opened his new store at Fourteenth and I streets, N. W., in the room that was occupied by George C. Shaffer prior to his moving across the street. The interior and exterior of the store have been painted white and numerous improvements have been made, including the installation of electric lights. For the present, at least, Mr. Bowdler will not keep open on Sundays and will thus be one of the few exceptions. Charles Wernig, of York, Pa., was in. town last week, showing his new Primula Gertrude, a clear, vigorous growing primrose, bearing, when in per- fection, twenty-five to forty bunches per 7-inch plant.

As chairman of the illumi- nation committee, Mr. Gude deserves credit for the magnificence of the ap- pearance of the Court of Honor, where President Wilson reviewed the parade. Mr. Small furnished the American Beauty roses and other flowers which graced the presidential section, and C. H. Merryman furnished the countless number of cedar trees which banked the entire front of the White House grounds. C. L. L. STEAAIEB SAILINGS.

Keodel. CleTvIand, O. A lAWN grass that will kill weeds is a brand much sought for. F. H. Henry, of Henry & Lee, New York, is on a western trip. In all branches of the seed trade quick action is in vogue; even the onion set people now are hustling. We cannot too highly recommend the assistant who is always healthy, espe- cially in the busy season. The wise market gardener is buying his usual quantity of seed, regardless of the present price of produce. The L. C. Brown Seed House, of La Grange, 111., is planning to open a branch establishment at Kankakee, 111. It is the opinion of the average buyer that good seed is the kind that will make a prize-winning crop, no matter how planted. The Iowa Seed Co., Des Moines, is platting a portion of the property on which its greenhouses stand and will put about forty lots on the market. James A. Hovey, for several years in charge of the seed department of the George A. Weaver Co., Newport, E. I., died at Newton Highlands, Mass., last week. The Atlantic Seed Co., Augusta, Me., has been incorporated, with $30,000 cap- ital stock. The promoters are G. J. Lange, of Eau Claire, Wis., and L. J. Coleman and E. S. Buzzell, of Augusta. The Standard Seed and Soil In- oculation Co., of Troy, N. Y., re- cently was incorporated. The di- rectors are John E. McDonald, 1913 Sixth avenue, Watervliet; Isabel Kelly, 2162 Fourteenth street, and Pierc« Bailey, Springside, Burden avenue, Troy. The company is capitalized at $1,000. Mail orders in February have, accord- ing to reports, been good, but not many records have been broken. The princi- pal increases have been made by the com- paratively new houses in the south and west. The older houses in the east still are growing steadily, but they are more conservative. The weather in February was so mild that it not only helped to a good mail business, but in some sections started the counter trade stronger than usual. Foe some time of late the weather has been seasonable in nearly all sections. The rush occasioned by the preceding mild weather has let up, giving a chance to keep up with the orders from sections that must have seed at once or lose out. All standards seem to be in fair supply, except Fordhook lima and a few other important sorts of beans. There is a long season yet, however, and the plan this year, more than ever, seems to be to hold off until absolute necessity compels a purchase; there may be, therefore, a scramble for some things yet. "OFF AO'IN, ON AO'IN." The eongressional struggle over free seeds reminds one of the well-known story of Finnigan. It will be recalled that this celebrated Irish railroader THE COST OF FREE SEEDS IN response to a resolution of the Senate, Secretary Wilson has furnished the figures covering the cost of the congressional free seeds for the last four years. It totals $1,110,933. The cost of purchasing seeds and plaijts includes the purchase price, freight and drayage, inspection of growing crops, office salaries, j equipment and supplies; the cost of preparing the seeds for distribution and delivery to the mails includes rent, cost of equipment and repairs, labor, bags, boxes, paper, twine, hauling, etc. The figures, which do not include the cost of carrying in the mails, are as follows: Projects.

The Market. * Trade among the wholesalers was highly satisfactory during the month of February. Stock of all kinds was good and there was enough of every- thing to supply all demands, except in roses and Beauties. Boses, however, are getting more plentiful and of bet- ter quality every day, with a good outlook for Easter stock. All the retailers are carrying a fine assortment of blooming plants, which, with the forced shrubbery so much in use at this time, enable them to make fine displays. Now that nearly all baskets are made with pans that can be filled with water, there is an unusual display of arranged baskets on exhibi- tion in many of the stores, and pur- chasers are encouraged to buy baskets of all sizes. This makes a demand for a much greater variety of flowers than in former years, and in the case of debutantes one finds many more bas- kets than bunches, which was not true in former years. Even in funeral work certain flowers are used — and most ar- tistically, too — which would not have been thought of a few years ago; such flowers, for instance, as daffodils, red tulips and, in fact, anything that looks like a flower. Nothing is objected to when arranged so that it is artistic and pretty. Of course, there are some who make awful conglomerations, but they should not be classed with the real artists in the business. And there never was a time when it was so neces- sary for a cut flower worker to know his business as just now. Various Notes. Bandolph & McClements have had some unusually pretty effects in bloom- ing plants arranged in baskets, but nothing more striking than a single specimen Adiantum Farleyense in a basket, with an appropriate ribbon. G. P. Weaklen & Co. have in the rear of their store a conservatory which is really a part of the store, and which is ablaze with blooming plants of all kinds. And, judging from the number of plants wrapped for delivery, one would say that the extra efforts are not in vain. Mrs. E. A. "Williams, who takes pride in the artistic effects which can be pro- duced in a small room, makes frequent changes in the character of the plants used in her window and store, present- ing at one time some fine color effects in foliage plants, and at another time using blooming plants with cut flowers and other effects to harmonize. This can only be done by the true artist and it shows the advances being made in the profession. The A. W. Smith Co., with its im- mense room, at this season keeps one man busy looking after decorative ef- fects for the windows, one of which is nearly always an orchid window of some kind, besides arranging the groups of foliage and blooming plants SPRING-FLOWERING BULBS BEGONIAS Doz. 100 Single, separate colors $0.40 $2.50 Double, separate colors ... .60 4.00 CALADIUMS With live center shoots Doz. 100 5- 7 inch $0.30 $1.80 7- 9 inch 50 3.50 9-11 inch 85 6.00 GLADIOLI First size bulbs 100 1000 America, pink $3.00 $25.00 Augusta, white 2.25 20.00 Francis King, scarlet 2.00 18.00 Light and White florists' mixture 1 . 76 15.00 CANNAS Two to three-eye roots 100 1000 Austria $2.00 $18.00 Buttercup 3.00 Chas.

McCallum, of the McCallum Co., is a ''canoe bug" and spends many of his nights at the club house, to get the benefit of sleeping outdoors, thus getting into shape for a spring trip. Samuel McClements is on a business trip through the east, looking for Easter novelties. G. P. Weaklen and Mrs. Weaklen are visiting New York, for business and pleasure. Joseph Heacock, of Wyncote, Pa., is a visitor, looking up trade in this vicinity.

Beckert, the seedsman, is in the height of the rush and reports more orders than ever before at this time of the year, but, with his new store and better facilities, he is better able to take care of the business. Clarke. SPBINGFIELD, MASS. The Market. There is an abundance of all kinds of flowers, but there has been no glut. Business has kept up well, in spite of Lent, and there has been a great deal of funeral work. Bulbous stock is most plentiful and Dutch hyacinths are coming into the market in great quan- tities. The trade expected a big in- crease in business last week, because of the hardware convention in the new city hall auditorium, but the extra work for the convention proved to be of little consequence. Flowering plants are moving at a lively pace. Various Notes. L. D. Robinson reports that his azaleas and bulbous stock will be in fine condition for Easter. January and February have been the best business months in his experience. Meacham & Hassell have been doing a great deal ef funeral work during the last few weeks. Charles Isselee, formerly with M.

My Original SILVER PINK SNAPDRAGON is a money-maker, being a grand variety iadoors and out. Aside from a possible sport, it has never varied from the soft, silvery pink which is best in full sunshine, making it an ideal bedder. Plants like cut can be grown in three months, which, in 2^ or 3^-in. pots, will make double the money that geraniums or any other bedding plant will, from the fact that you can grow 16 plants to the square foot in 2^-in. pots and 9 plants In i>^-in. pots. Use pencil and flgUTe profit at 75c to $L.5u per dozen. It requires 9 montbb for guranlums to do half so well, and a year of good growing for carnations and many other plants to equal it. Clean up a comer anywhere and All with SILVER PINK. You can't keep it from growing. Price of seed— my own growing— $1.00 per packet of over 600 seeds; 8 packets, |2.50, delirered.

A small black spot started at the eye and spread all over the fruit. It was a kind of black rot. I have been told that it is caused by the decaying wood in the soil. Can you say whether this is correct, and what remedy would you advise? W. D. The trouble you have had on your tomatoes is commonly called blossom- end rot. Little is known of the cause of this trouble, which affects plants both under glass and outdoors. It is worse outdoors during a spell of damp weather. It seems to be superinduced indoors by a too close and stuffy at- mosphere and an overabundance of moisture, both at the root and in the atmosphere. Perfect cleanliness is neces- sary, including whitewashing of the walls, keeping floors and spaces below benches clear of rubbish and removal of dead or decaying foliage.

Horse- shoe Brand Giganteum fields are all disbudded at the proper time. This means quite some work, for it is not a light job to disbud be- tween two and three million lily plants. However, it is done be- cause it makes the bulbs more solid and compact, much stronger and better able to stand the Cold Storage strain, should it be re- quired.

What baby rose is good for commer- cial use in the vicinity of San Fran- cisco? The growers here are raising Cecile Brunner mostly, but it is not of much account in the winter season. Are there some other everblooming baby roses in the eastern markets? If so, kindly inform us. S. M. & C. There are several other varieties of the true polyantha type, and many be- longing to the ramblers and other less flowering families. All of these are small-blossomed, more or less clustered. They are usually grown for a particu- lar occasion and, after blooming, but little more is expected of them for several months. Cecile Brunner does not come under that description, but, when properly handled, will give blos- soms all through the fall and winter season. During the early spring and summer it is flowered with great suc- cess outdoors, where, though the foliage may not be as delicate, the flowers will be of better color and substance than those produced under glass at the same season. If the plants are properly handled, yon will have no trouble in getting quantities of blossoms at the time when they are expected under glass, and if a succession of plantings is made they can be had at any time desired. While there are several other roses of the same type as Cecile Brunner, there are none up to this time of the beautiful shade that has made this rose so popular with flower buyers. There is nothing that can be found to duplicate it; when the cultural requirements are complied with, it will probably be found perfectly satisfactory. G. CUTTmOS DO NOT BOOT. Perhaps you can tell me why my rose cuttings will not root. We have what we consider a good propagating house. It is on the north side of the range and is 12x125 feet, with a height of fourteen feet from walk to ridge. We have two concrete benches, six inches deep. The framework is solid, with 1-inch drainage holes about ten inches apart. We have bricks on top of the concrete. The wood for cuttings is selected. The only cut- tings that root are Chatenays, of which we get about fifty per cent. The otliers look well for two or three Weeks. They make an unusually large callus, but about half of them drop their leaves and the rest of them will not root. The sand heat is from 65 to 70 degrees; the top heat, 60 degrees. We do not fire in the daytime, as we get lots of sun- shine here, in southern California. We also have heavy shade on the house. We have no trouble in rooting carna- tions on the north bench of the same house. Our sand is the best river sand. We use well water and it has some alkali in it. A. E. The usual causes of a large callus and slow rooting' in rose cuttings are too much moisture in the sand and too little bottom heat. There should be at least ten degrees of difference between the top and bottom heat. The cuttings should be lightly sprayed overhead, not heavily watered, especially late in the rooting process. When first inserted, the cuttings should be thoroughly wet. It may also be that your wood was too old and hard, as such cuttings often suffer in the manner described. H. E. E. LOS ANGELES, OAL. The Market. Plenty of stock and good business form a combination satisfactory to all, and this is the state of affairs here. The shortest item is good indoor roses. Beauties are fair. There is plenty of bulbous stock, including yellow daffo- dils, Paper White narcissi, tulips in variety, Dutch and Eoman hyacinths. Carnations are arriving in quantity; so, also, are violets. A few pans of hyacinths are seen around the stores. but the majority are poor and short in the stem. Forced plants of Wistaria Sinensis and its white variety provide a cheap method of making an excellent show, for they are singularly pretty and graceful. Azalea amoena is well flowered and popular, giving satisfac- tion to customers owing to its long lasting qualities. Indian azaleas are scarce and only of moderate quality. Easter lilies, both cut and in pots, are selling well. The demand for mag- nolia, stimulated by the recent short- age in flowers, seems to keep up even now, when flowers are plentiful. Good cattleyas have been on the scarce side, but phalsenopsis and a few others are plentiful. Valley is equal to the de- mand, which has been large. A heavy rain occurred here February 23 and 24, over seven inches being precipitated.

The Florists^ Review 77 THE NOVELTY OF THE SEASON "RAMONA" THE NEW RED CHEROKEE ROSE /-T-\HIS sensational and magnificent new climbing I rose occurred as a sport from the well-known ■^ Pink Cherokee (Rosa Sinica, var. Anemone). It is a stronger and more rampant grower than its parent, and produces during the spring and early summer months flowers in such profusion as to entirely cover the plant; in autumn there is a secondary crop of bloom. The flowers are much larger than either the pibk or white forms, with brilliant golden-yellow stamens and broad petals of a glorious carmine-crim- son color; an unusual shade, wonderfully striking and effective; the foliage is absolutely mildew- proof, a rich, glossy green, so bright that it appears as though varnished. The life-like illustration in our advertise- ment in The Review of February 20th, showing blooms and foliage natural size, pictures its beauty stronger than mere words. The original sport occurred on the nurseries of Messrs. Dieterich & Turner, at Montebello, California. They, realizing its value and great beauty, propagated over one hundred thousand plants, from whom we acquired the entire stock. This is indicative of our faith in its value, and its coming popularity is attested by the fact that we have already booked orders for many thousands of plants, hence we feel that we are safe in stating that "RAMONA" will have the largest first season's sale of any new rose ever offered to the American trade. "RAMONA" will be of special value as a garden rose to the entire Pacific Coast, the Southwestern, Gulf and South Atlantic States; it will prove hardy as far north as Philadelphia. For planting on pergolas, pillars, porches, etc., it is a rose of unique and beautiful effect; in addition, it makes an elegant hedee plant if properly trained and pruned, affording a relief from the stereotyped privet hedges, with the added value of a rich display of color. We are offering plants of "Ramona" at the following prices, cash with order: In lots less tlian one hundred: From 2-incIi pots, 85 cents eacb. $3.50 per dozen; from 8-incli pots, 50 cents eaob, $5.00 per dozen; from 5-inch pots, $1.00 each, $10.00 per dozen. In lots of one himdred to five hundred: From 2-inch pots, $20.00 per one hvuidred; from 8-inch pots, $30.00; from 5-inoh pots, $60.00. In lots of five hiuidred to one thousand: From 2-inoh pots, $125.00 per thousand; from 8-inch pots, $150.00 per thousand. [^"Parties desiring to list "Ramona" can be supplied by us with copies of the colored plate shown in the Review of February 20th, at the rate of 13.60 per hundred, $30.00 per thousand; larger quantities at special rates.

E. Richards. PASADENA, OAL. Extremely heavy rainfall is causing general rejoicing among the members of the Pasadena Horticultural Associa* tion, as well as farmers, citrus fruit growers and other horticulturists and agriculturists in southern California. The Pasadena association is particu- larly pleased because of the annual spring flower show scheduled for April 10 to 12, at the Hotel Maryland. Although this is an association of ama- teurs and private gardeners, the com- mercial growers and florists always come to the fore with large, creditable exhibits, and the shows attract much att^tion from the general public. Announcement is made that the store formerly known as Kempton's Flower Shop, 190 West Colorado street, will be conducted in future as the Bogers Flower Shop. Owing to plans for the building of a large garage where the shop now stands, the latter is to be removed to the next lot west. Work on the change is in progress and the Misses Eogers hope to be permanently settled in the new location within the next few weeks. Burglars entered the Campbell Seed Store, 148 West Colorado street, Febru- ary 24, but all they obtained for their trouble was $3.50. This was all that had been left in the cash register and the prowlers apparently cared for nothing but cash. Entrance was ob- tained through the rear door, which had been nailed shut and proved easy to force. A. C. B. PORTLAND, ORE. The Market. Business is holding up remarkably well. A good call for funeral work is what helps out the situation. With the lengthening of the days and the in- -crease of sunshine, flowers are becom- ing more plentiful. Carnations are al- most a deluge, but, with good manage- ment, the stock is kept pretty well ■cleaned up. Roses are rapidly improv- ing; Brides, Maids, Killarneys and Richmonds are the leading varieties. Violets are in oversupply; hence there is a decline in prices.

City officials participated in the ceremonies in the various parks. Tom Luke has organized an amateur athletic club. Eegular boxing and wrest- ling matches are on the program. E. E. C. SAN FRANCISCO. The Market. Flowers continue overabundant and business continues at rather a low ebb, although in comparison with that of one year ago it is a trifle ahead, which IS somewhat encouraging. Bulbous stock is now at its best. Never have daffodils or the various kinds of nar- cissi made a bigger showing than in the last two weeks. They are our most popular flowers at present, but, owing to the favorable weather conditions, they are produced in much larger quan- tities than are needed. Apparently, this is not the case with tulips. A few of our larger growers did not plant tu- lips as heavily this year as formerly, and they are not in such heavy supply. Still, there are plenty for all require- ments. Roses and carnations are plentiful and cheap. Valley is not in oversup- ply. Freesias are scarcer. Japanese lilies are bought up well. Violets are not quite as much of a drug as they were, but are in good supply. Sweet peas are cheaper. Adiantums and other greens are easier. From all accounts, there will be plenty of material for Easter. Various Notes. The Panama Pacific directors have ad- vertised for bids for large quantities of nursery stock with which to orna- ment the grounds of the coming ex- hibition. The California State Floral So- ciety will give its spring flQ,wer show in the Fairmount hotel, March 27, 28 and 29.

T. mrt7-aifbth annnal naatlnr, Portland, Or*., lane, 1818. D. M. Andrews, Boulder, Colo., has published an excellent vest-pocket mon- ograph entitled "The Planting and Care of Street Trees in Colorado." It in- cludes a classified descriptive list of recommended varieties. The nursery firm of Peyton & Barnes, at Boonville, Mo., has been dissolved by mutual consent. Mr. Barnes retains the old firm name, Boonville Nurseries, and is planning to have even better facilities than formerly for the transaction of busi- ness. Mr. Peyton is understood to have taken over three-fourths of the growing nursery stock and a large part of the propagating equipment, and has organ- ized the firm of T. E. Peyton & Sons, whose establishment will bear the name, Pevton Nurseries. WILL RETURN DUTIES. In response to an inquiry from the collector of customs at Boston the Sec- retary of the Treasury has written: "I have to state that the duties de- posited on nursery stock, etc., found to be in violation of the plant-quarantine act of August 20, 1912, and the regula- tions thereunder in T. D. 33071 of .lanuary 8, 1913, and exported or de- stroyed, may be refunded from 'Excess of Deposits ' upon proper evidence of exportation or destruction. "Such exportation shall be under customs supervision. Evidence of de- struction shall be in the form of a certificate of a customs officer or of a representative of the Department of Agriculture. The certificate should specify the kind and amount of stock so destroyed, the number of the permit of the Department of Agriculture, and the name of the importer. A certifi- cate of a state department of agricul- ture to the fact of destruction may be accepted when verified by a representa- tive of the United States Department of Agriculture." NEW ENGLAND ASSOCIATION. The election of a new board of officers and tlie appointment of a committee to give publicity to the fact that New Eng- land, and particularly Massachusetts, is not the hotbed of insect pests and that the six states form a most desirable sec- tion of the country for the purchase of nursery stock, formed the chief business at the session of the New England Nur- serymen 's Association at Worcester, Mass., February 2.5 and 26. ~ . & A.

'I'ljis entire lot of splendid plants of Sli- ver Pink snapdragon at a small price. Shipment March 10, when they will be sturdy plants with 2 to 6 branches. They are offered at a bargain because we can afford it. We will have used this bench space three times In one year and can make the low price with still a good margin of profit. The price is only $3.00 PER 100, TWO HUNDRED FOR ?5.00, cash, by express. These plants will make strong stock in 3% and 4-ln. pots for early bedding sales, and should sell more readily and make you more money than any bed- ding plant. We have been short of stock for two seasons and have had so many ad- vance orders and inquiries that we cut our geranium stock in half. The only adver- tising done was a bed of Silver Pink In our )iome grounds. Snapdragon is destined to become as popular and profitable for bedding as it now is under glass. Get in line and pick up some of the easy dollars and a lot of new customers. Use these plants to show blos- soms and sow seed for 2% -in. stock. See my smaller display ad. for figures. Price of seed, my own growing, $1.00 per pkt. ot over 500 seeds; 3 pkts., $2.50, delivered. Be prompt with plant orders. This Is my last lot for spring sales.

Among other clauses are three pro- viding that every firm selling fruit- bearing trees shall affix to each tree a variety tag, that every sale shall be made under a written contract and that a penalty of $5 for each tree not up to contract specifications may be recovered in civil action by the purchaser. The last provision is regarded as ridiculous by nurserymen. "The man outside the state sells his product outright, receives his money and the transaction is closed. €an you imagine what chance a pur- chaser would have five or ten years later, when his trees get to fruit-bear- ing age, to collect any money if the trees didn't make good?" said Irving Rouse.

The general run of trade is decidedly slow, and were it not for a few of the extras that happen occasionally, euch as weddings, funeral work, etc., we would not be able to speak favorably of busi- ness. Perhaps, too, the lull in trade is more noticeable on account of the plenti- ful supply of stock in all lines. The bright, warm weather has not only brought an abundamt supply of cut flow- ers and plants, but in some varieties has caused a glut. Especially is this true of the longiflorum lilies, while others complain of carnations and roses. In fact, the mild winter has been a problem for the florists to solve, for it is thought by some that a good portion of the bulbous stock will come in a Ut- ile too early for Easter. Various Notes. ^ W. G. Matthews' window at his Main street store last week was a beautiful array of spring flowers in baskets. Mrs. B. Haschke tells us she is pick- ing a fine crop of sweet peas. One thing that is attracting a great deal of attention and admiration at "W. W. Horlacher 's greenhouses is a beauti- ful crop of forget-me-nots, uncommon in this city. George Bartholomew, of the Edge- mont Floral Co., gives an encouraging report on business. George Lampert, of Xenia, was in town March 1, with some fine carna- tions and sweet peas. One of the big things that the Heiss Co. did last week was to decorate for a wedding in Harshman. Visitors: Harry Gabel, of the Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, 111.; Wm. E. Astling, of the King Construction Co., North Tonawanda, N. Y.; G. Eeising, of L. Baumann & Co., Chicago; D. Bus- coni, Jr., of Cincinnati. Mrs. L. D. Johnson has been unusually busy with funeral work. Miss Bessie Bartholomew has been quite ill with tonsilitis. M. & L. Johnson report trade to be good. The Miami Floral Co. is having some heavy cuts on Easter lilies. R. A. L.

Business has been fairly good, but the demand for cut flowers has fallen off to some extent during the last week. Bulbous stock is plentiful, some of the local florists offering daffodils and tu- lips as a special March 1 at 35 cents per dozen. Funeral orders are quite heavy and all the florists seem to be getting their share. Carnations and sweet peas of choice quality are more plentiful, but the supply of choice roses is reported by some to be short. Various Notes. A. Ostermann reports business as be- ing good, with orders for funeral work heavy. His store is attractive. The S, H. Moore Co. reports business quite satisfactory. Funeral orders were exceptionally heavy last week. Hya- cinths and tulips in pots and pans are selling well. The window was attrac- tive with bulbous stock, specimen aza- leas and ferns. Champion & Co. had an attractive window display of azaleas, choice cycla- mens, and a few genistas and roses, which reminded one of the near ap- proach of Easter. Recently they have been kept quite busy with decoration orders. Charles Munro, the Chapel street florist, reports funeral orders quite heavy and other business fairly good. He had a special sale of tulips and daffcfdils March 1, which cleaned up a lot of stock. Erica melanthera was pretty in his window.

Hyacinths and tulips in pots and pans are grown in large quantities for the store trade, also thousands of these and daffodils have just been brought in for the Easter business. .Just at present there is a house of Bicolor Victoria which are readily picked up in the store.

Tremulus Bros., with headquarters in Chicago and branch stores at Rockford and Aurora, 111., have opened a store at 305 Upper Second street. They had their opening March 1 and the business done was far ahead of the greatest ex- pectations. Mr. Tremulus said it was the greatest opening he ever had, the sales amounting to over $200. They gave away, as souvenirs, about 25,000 violets. The store is ideally located near Main street and was crowded from morning till night. They sold 7,000 carnations at 25 cents per dozen, fine, long-stemmed roses at $1 per dozen, jonquils and daffodils at 35 cents per dozen, violets at 15 cents and 25 cents per bunch, sweet peas at 15 cents and 25 cents per bunch. They had a few plants, but not so many as they expect to have later, when everything is ar- ranged. A large ice-box has been built in the store. A large front window gives a good opportunity for making displays. E. L. F. Fairfield, Conn.— C. P. Loder, of :Hydrangeas, good foliage and lapgje trusses, Jl.50. T^'.

TYLEB, TEX. Business has been splendid fojr the last year and is still keeping up well, but death has visited each of the three florists within a little more than a year. Mrs. Hill was called away in January, 1912. November 11, 1912, Frank Hewitt passed into his rest, after a painful illness. January 11, 1913, James Whitten died. Mr. Whitten's sister sold the business and retired. Mrs. Hewitt, however, will continue her business, and expects to build more greenhouses in the coming summer. Everything is looking promising. We have had a mild winter so far, but with much cloudy weather. I think the lowest outside temperature was 16 degrees above zero, and that only once this winter. ' I had written thus far, February 26, when I saw a storm coming and soon it looked as if the greenhouses and everything in them would be a total wreck. It was the worst hail storm we have had in years. About 200 panes of glass were broken in Mrs. Frank Hewitt's greenhouses and quite a number of plants were dam- aged. It is impossible to say at pres- ent what the damage to the fruit crop will be, as the storm seemed to skip some places. H. SCRANTON, PA. .7. B. MeClintock is finishing his latest range in concrete. These are on the tidge and furrow plan and considered the best suited for bedding stock, which is raised in great numbers. Judging by the size of the excellent Easter stock, Dig business is expected. Our New Lobelia MRS. AUQ. SWANSON Named In honor of the wife of Mr. Aug. Swanson, 23 years a florist in St. Paul, now retired. This lobelia is a sport from Bedding: Queen, which we found among our seedlings in 1911. It Is a wonderful Improvement on that best of lobelias. The flower is exceedingly large and free bloom- ing. It has % more white in it than any other lobelia we have ever seen. It is a plant we assure you will sell better than any plant you have on your place. We exhibited plants and four vases of flowers at the St. Paul, Minn., Show, Nov., 1912, and before we could remove them next morning after the show, every bit of the cut stuff and four plants were stolen. So, -' you see, they "like it all right. The upper picture is Bedding Queen and the lower Mrs. Aug. Swanson. The cut is a photo of two 3-in. pots, laid on the side. The large white eye does not show on the picture, as deep blue and white never show up properly In a photo.

NEW CARNATION BENORA Strang rooted cuttings ready for immediate delivery $6 00 per 100 $50 00 per 1000 This variegated carnation, sent out by Mr. Peter Fisiier last season, is tlie finest varie- gated variety, and one off tiie very best car- nations off any coior, ever sent out. It has immediately attained a commanding posi- tion among the very choicest sorts, and will add to Mr. Fisher's already enyiable list of introductions. It is indispensable. It is a very early and free bloomer, matures quickly, making very perfect flowers of the largest size on long stems; does not split the calyx. F. R. PIERSON CO. TARRYTOWN-ON-HUDSON .

The !Vfar«h weather is quite " M archy, " with the wind blowing and the temperature around zero. Business is about the same as last week, with a steady demand for pot plants and a good many funerals, which keep the stock moving. The next two Sundays will find naost of the florists busy with spring openings, and that means work every Sunday until after Easter. We all hope to see the day when florists can rest on Sunday the same as other people. There is no more reason for florists working on Sunday than there is for any other business men, and when the florists can get together and elimi- nate Sunday work it will be better for all conceri^ed. Various Notes. The Bertermann Bros. Co. lias a fine lot of fancy plants for Easter, and Mr, Schreiber deserves a lot of praise for liis efficient work. He delivers the goods in fine condition and on time. A. Wiegand 's Sons Co, 's stock is in fine condition, and Mr. Hoffmann, Wie- gand 's grower, deserves his share of fredit. He knows his business. The florists having motor car delivery need not dread long transfers of flowers now, for a new rule in effect at Crown Hill makes it possible for lot owners to obtain a permit to drive cars within the gates, Robert Fohl, formerly with the In- dianapolis Flower & Plant Co,, has taken a position with A, E, Nelson, Tt is reported that T, B, Pritchard, ENCHANTRESS SUPREME |HE best Sport of Enchantress up to date, possessintr all the visor and freedom that dls- lingulsh Its parent.

March opened like a lion. Jf previ- ous experiences are any indication, we stand some show of having a pleasant Easter. The wind reached a velocity of sixty-five miles an hour, with blind- ing snow and cold. February on the whole was not so cold, but the sun dis- appeared in the latter part of the month and the lilies did not move so fast as we would have liked them to. The lily situation will be about the same as usual; perhaps they will be a little scarcer. Azaleas will be short, but the other stock seems to be in about the usual supply. We all look for a good Easter and, while business leading up to it has not been wonder- ful, we can not complain for the Lenten season. Increased publicity has greatly increased the sales of the last few months and for Easter we look for an increased amount of advertising, which can not do otherwise than make the season bigger and b'fetter than ever. The bowling committee invited the Rochester club to a night of bowling and pleasure, which was returning the compliment of a few weeks ago, and the event was most pleasant. The Buf- falo boys turned out in fine shape and the able chairman, Joe Streit, was a royal host. He was busy every minute satisfying the wants of some- one and we feel sure that no one can say that he did not have a good time. The Rochester boys were somewhat handicapped by the absence of some of the star bowlers and as a result did not make the showing usually cred- ited to their scores. Charles Sandiford was high for the Buffalo team and Mr. Boland for the Rochester side. R. A. S. The Corfu establishment of the Wm. Scott Co. has been purchased by N. A. Brown as an investment and leased to his son-in-law, David Scott, who has been the manager of the plant, which consists of 45,000 feet of glass. Mr. Scott will hereafter conduct the grow- ing business at Corfu under his own name, the greater part of the output being sold, as heretofore, in the retail store of the Wm. Scott Co. Newton Falls, O.— C. E. Tinker is greatly pleased with the last few months' business. The volume of trade was the heaviest since he started in business here three years ago. Barrlngton, HI. — F. W. Stott procured some blank slides and writes his own advertisements on them, to be thrown on the screen at the local moving pic- ture shows. He has found it a paying advertisement.

The regular monthly meeting of the Oyster Bay Horticultural Society was held in the Board of Trade rooms Februar}' 21. President Duthie occu- pied the chair. The secretary read the report of the dinner committee, which proved to be most satisfactory. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded the committee, and also to Charles Both- man for his splendid service. On behalf of an anonymous donor, the secretary was instructed to offer a silver cup for the best collection of peonies at the spring show; also $10 in gold as a second prize and $10 to be devoted to school children's ex- hibits. Seven new members were enrolled and two were elected. W. D. Robertson, James Goldsmith and John Sorosick acted as judges and their decisions were as follows: Primula malacoides from Frank Pe- troccia, honorable mention; cucumbers from Joseph Marmarole, honorable mention; three pots hyacinths, Joseph Robinson, cultural certificate; tour pots Primula obconica, Frank Kyle, cultural certificate; vase of lilies, A. Lahodney, cultural certificate; 100 violets, A. Walker, cultural certificate; three or- chids, J. Ingram, honorable mention. Joseph Robinson announced his in- tention to give a gold medal to the member gaining most first prizes at the monthly competitions for 1913. The exhibitors gave interesting talks on their methods of growing the stock exhibited. Floyd Blowers, of Westlook Farm, read an interesting essay on out- door grapes, and the society extended to him a hearty vote of thanks. The secretary, in behalf of the N. A. Gr., distributed catalogues for the Inter- national Show. The secretary was also instructed to get all particulars about the national bowling tournament and report at next meeting. The exhibits at the next meeting will consist of one pot of Easter lilies, three spikes of antirrhinum and three heads of lettuce. J. T. I. The Review sells all I can grow. — J. P.

Stock was cleaned up well, with the exception, perhaps, of lilies, valley and some of the bulbous stock. The market is well supplied with pans of tulips, daffodils and hyacinths, and they move readily. There appears to be a scarcity of large azalea plants; those growers who have some are apparently holding them over for Eastec :«t\,C'«*t: Various Notes. \Vm. A. McAlpine, of Exeter, N. H., owner of the New England Rose Con- servatories, spent a few days here last week. He appears to like this part of the country well. Mr. Scharff, of Scharff Bros., Van Wert, O., was a recent visitor at Thomas Browne's establishment. He came here to see the new carnation, Philadelphia, growing, and was favorably impressed. Mrs. Sylvester, mother of Albert Syl- vester, died recently, and was buried February 28. Schroeter's Studebaker 20 was con- siderably damaged in a collision with another auto last week. Fortunately, the driver, the sole occupant of Schroe- ter's car, was not injured. The committee, with Philip Breit- meyer as chairman, that has taken up the fight on behalf of all the users of steam for heating greenhouses in Michi- gan, against the two bills recently pre- sented at Lansing, is sadly in need of funds to pay attorneys' fees and other incidental expenses, and will greatly ap- preciate a check for $5 from any inter- ested grower who has not already con- tributed. Make the check payable to Hugo Schroeter, 56 Broadway, Detroit, who has this matter in charge. Ed. Hampton, representing J. G. Neidinger, was in town last week. Mr. Maynard, manager of the Detroit €ut Flower Supply House, is well pleaSed with trade. S. S. Skidelsky was in the city and met with Fred Breitmeyer and Robert Rahaley at the office of the Michigan Cut Flower Exchange to formulate more extensive plans for the handling of the sales of Carnation Philadelphia, over 60,000 cuttings of which have already been ordered. After viewing the plants at Thomas Browne's houses, Mr. Skidel- sky is so highly elated over the carna- tion, and has so much confidence in it, that all orders are booked with the privilege of canceling them' should the buyer be disappointed after having seen the plants growing.

The close of last week and the open- ing of this one were excellent. The re- ceipts were larger and sales sufficient to take up almost everything offered. March 3 there was a good increase in prices on some lines and a tightening in others. It would take more than a fortune teller to predict as to whether or not this state of affairs will continue. From present indications it seems that the market will be tight for some time to come. However, it may be only temporary, and extremely temporary at that, as has happened many times since the first day of the year. The carnation cut is shortening con- siderably, and this, combined with the big demand, is making the carnation market a good one. Eoses, too, are sell- ing well. The good sweet peas find a ready sale, while short stock must neces- sarily be sold at a low figure. Bulbous stock, both in small blooms and in Easter lilies and callas, continues in a more than sufficient supply. The first, however, are generally of a much better quality than a fortnight ago. Single violets still enjoy a much better call than doubles. The call for valley is only ordinary. The green goods supply is adequate. Various Notes. F. Ben George has opened a store at 3706 Eastern avenue, in the east end. He has absolutely no direct competition in that part of town. C. E. Critchell has been getting in fine lilies and tulips from J. A. Peterson & Sons. The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange has been getting in fine Killarney and Eichmond from Bloomhurst, at Lock- land. Walter Butler, formerly of Chillicothe, is opening a store on Madison avenue, near Woodburn, in Walnut Hills. This makes the fifth retail store in that im- mediate neighborhood. Last week C. E. Critchell and Fred Gear were duly initiated into the Scot- tish Eite. Mr. Critchell also went through the Shrine. E. G.

Subscribers are invited to write the editor of the Heating Department, de- scribing their troubles or asking any questions regarding the heating of green- houses, the piping or boiler-room. But please do not ask us to make a choice of apparatus for you. Each boiler adver- tised in The Eeview is a good boiler, and the advertisers sell them on their merits. FIBING WITH HAKD COAL. Quite a number of florists in the western part of Pennsylvania, Ohio and, in fact, in all the states where soft coal is used and yet near enough to obtain hard coal, are making the change. Most of them that make this change are hav- ing difficulties because they do not un- •ierstand firing with hard coal, for it is vastly different from firing with soft coal. , Probably the same grate could . be used if it was fine enough mesh to suit the size of coal to be used, as the mesh of the grate depends entirely on the size of coal. If No. 1 buckwheat is used a small mesh is necessary, while if egg or grate coal is used a large mesh would give better results. Some florists use the patent grates; something on the principle of the Dockash, of which a number are in the market. The common, double, straight-barred grate is probably more generally used than any other and is all right if you know how to handle it, but to fire with smaller size coal it is necessary to know how to handle the fire; here lies the whole secret. Below I will give the di- rections how to fire with No. 1 buck- wheat, which would apply to all the smaller sizes, pea and probably chestnut, and I do not know why it should not be applied to the larger sizes. However, we have never used the larger sizes in the vicinity of Scranton for greenhouse heating, as we have so much of the smaller sizes here, and heretofore they have been so cheap compared with the large sizes, that we have always used the small. If anyone will follow out the following principles in firing he will make no mistake, if the gratebar sur- face is large enough to give the results. To a thirty horse-power boiler the grate surface should be 3%x5^ feet, a bricked-in return tubular boiler. I will start my instructions with a new fire, which you would, of course, start with wood, putting on coal a little at a time until you get a bright fire from the coal. It ought not to be more than two inches thick at this time. When it burns up brightly do not put on any more coal STILL ON THE JOB THE STANDARD SPKCIAL , Greenhouse Thentiostat Practically the same as Style I, advertised In last week's Review.

Never touch this fire with the poker until you clean down after it gets this thickness. If you do touch it, thinking you are going to improve it, you will spoil your fire, as the fine ashes will fall into the crevices kept open by your draft; consequently your draft will be choked and your fire of no account.

Take an iron hoe and pull these live coals from the back to the front of the fire, not out, but jusC at the front. Be careful not to pull up the ashes; if you do you will get them mixed with the live coals, which you want to avoid. Then reach over the back of this live coal into the dead ashes and give them a quick jerk out of the fire-box door. After the back of the grate is cleaned off shove these live coals back on the bare grate surface; then proceed to pull the front ashes out. Then scatter the live coals equally over the grate surface; they would probably he one and one-half to two inches thick over the grate ; then sprinkle on a light coating of coal, shut vour door and let the drafts go full blast. You will soon nave heat in abundance.

In bright weather catch the benefit of the afternoon sun, but in milder weather it would not usually have to be done more than once a day. By taking advantage of the afternoon sun the houses will not cool off so much while the fire is down a little. With soft coal, as I understand it, a blaze is obtained in firing. It being full of oils, it burns up something like wood. With hard coal this must never be ex- pected, for the best results will be ob- tained when you get an effect as of an incandescent light appearance, which gires off an intense heat, and by the light firing the carbon is' constantly ignited and burns until the white spots appear and the recoating is necessary. These results can never be obtained by heavy firing with hard coal; by heavy firing I mean a large quantity of coal on the grate at one time. After a fireman has studied these con- ditions he will readily fall into the knack of firing in this way, which he will find easy. G. R. Clark. PROVIDENCE. The Market. Little change is to be noted in the condition of business during the last week, except that the holding back for Easter becomes more apparent, although there is a plentiful supply to meet all demands. Prices are at the lowest ebb, but at the same time superior stock commands good figures. Funeral work is active and numerous small home functions call for enough cut flowers to keep the stock well cleaned up. The indications for Easter are quite prom- ising, both as to supply and quality. Various Notes. '' Mrs. Annie E.

There was plenty of stock in all lines and most of it kept moving in pretty good shape. One large depart- ment store gave away carnations as souvenirs all last week, which helped to keep some of the less good stock from accumulating at the wholesale houses. Various Notes. Word has just been received that William Schmitz, who is located at Thirty-second street and Burnham avenue, forsook bachelorhood about two weeks ago. The A. F. Kellner Co. is getting ma- terial ready preparatory to moving its place of business on Auer avenue about three blocks north from the present lo- cation. This concern has all its decora- tive stock booked for next week, at which time all the department stores wiU have their usual openings. liocker & Son are cutting a good grade of carnations, sweet peas, vio- lets and bulbous stock these days. The C. C. Pollworth Co. reports pros- pects good on the Easter lily proposi- tion. The daily cut of carnations and roses IS good. Word received from Wm. Edlefsen, at Lorane, Ore., one of the pioneer florists of this city, is that he is now in perfect health. The air there has entirely cured his tl^rQl and nasal trouble, which caused him 'considerable inconvenience for some years while re- siding in Milwaukee. The Holton & Hunkel Co. is again V cutting a fine grade of Killarney roses. The Easter lilies at the Brown Deer plant are reported to be in good shape. H. V. Hunkel spent March 2 in Chi- cago and vicinity. Gust Rusch & Co. report no over- supply in the medium grade of roses as yet; just about enough to go around. E. O. Otto Wilke, grower for Fred Kaiser, has been confined to St. Mary's hos- pital since February 26, with blood poisoning of the right arm. Although it seemed quite serious at the first, at this writing he is doing nicely. Sam Seligman, of Wertheimer Bros., is in town. Fort Smith, Ark.— George T.

THE FERTILIZER PROBLEM SOLVED Practically every grower now finds that one of his chief problems Is an adequate supplj flrst-class Fertilizer— the available quantity of barnyard manures is inadequate and street and stable manures are poor, impure and of uncertain value, though expensive. Large growers are meeting the need of a safe, sure, well-balanced fertilizer of unlimited supply by using HINES TANKAGE This fertilizer, used either in the compost or as a top-dressing, not only supplies the neces- sary plant foods, but Improves tfie mechanical condition of the soil.

But wide houses must be built right, not only strong, but right. We know how to build right. Have been doing it for over a quarter of a century.

Some of your customers occasionally complain about quality of materials-don't they? A. It may seem odd, but in all the years we have been making greenhouse woodwork, we have - - never had any cypress material returned to us on account of poor quality. This is really remarkable ^hen you con&idpr the great num- ber of houses we make every year. Q. Do you cut^ces to fiTorite customers or for advertising jwrposes? A. No. If youlr are in Montana and you want material fo|: ten houses, we would Quote you the same price we would make any other flo- rist on an order of the same size anywhere in the U. S.

LION ft COMPANY, 213 Fourth Avenue, NEW YORK J Some Simple Expedients for Easing the Pressure While Increasing the Total of Easter Sales [VERY business has its draw- backs, and in the retail flower trade the difficulties are at least as numerous as in other lines; but of all the handicaps, none is greater than the necessity of doing a whole holiday's selling within a few hours. It is characteristic that people put off ordering flowers almost to the last mo- ment. It is true of funeral flowers, of gift flowers, and of almost all kinds of flowers except, possibly, wedding flow- ers and large decorations. Consequently, any little increase in business means a rush, and any little falling off in trade means almost complete stagnation. With the florist it is either a feast or a famine. The trade in general is so accustomed to the short-notice, rush-order style of business that with the majority no effort is made to get orders early — the retailers act as though they were sat- isfied to take the business when they can get it. But they don't talk that way. One hears a lot of kicks about there being nothing to do up to the last day, and then a rush that cannot be handled. It reminds one of the story used by a florist who was arguing the negative on the proposition that "satis- fied ' ' and ' ' contented ' ' are synonymous — of the same meaning. He. illustrated the difference in meaning by stating that he is satisfied that when he stays at the store all the night before a holiday his wife goes to the theater with an old- time sweetheart — he is satisfied, but not contented. Those florists who are not contented with the natural flow of Easter business are finding several simple expedients for easing the pressure while increasing the volume of Easter sales. A Limit on One Day's Sales. There is a limit to what any man, or set of men, can do in one business <'ay — even though that day be stretched from one morning to the next. When the holiday trade is left to its natural course, the last-day customers are so numerous that they cannot be waited on; every retailer has had the experi- ence of seeing good people walk out the door because they would not wait for the clerks. And every retailer knows that he gets the largest sales out of the buyers who are ordering at their leisuj^. In & crowd a buyer orders what must be had, «nd lets it go at that. If given time to look around, and the attentions of a skillful salesman, a much larger order is obtained. It is extremely bad business to rush one's customers. If you were able to wait on only a certain number of customers the Sat- urday before Easter last year, and some went out without getting attention, you cannot possibly, with the same facili- ties, increase your sales March 22 this year; the only way you can do it is to make some of the sales earlier. Friday you had time. Probably Thursday there was little doing, and Wednesday the Rote Tausendschofu clerks were idle. The plain evidence is that the way to increase the business is to sell earlier. Any number of retail- ers will, when they stop to think of it, admit that the reason the Easter busi- ness does not gro^ faster is because it is all crowded into one day. How, then, are earlier orders to be had! ' - Those who have thought on the sub- ject have found numerous ways. The popularity of pot plants makes it easy to decorate the store earlier than was possible in the old days, when cut flow- ers were principally used. The retailer can just as well have his show present- able the Monday before Easter as to wait until Thursday. Of course it will not be desirable to get in all the Easter stock a full week ahead, but it is worth the loss of a little material to get the business started early. Ways of Waking the Buyers. With the plant display in place and the store dressed up in its holiday at- tire, customers will order freely if you only can get them into the place. The plant baskets are there as samples; the customer is told that he will not receive the identical basket he is looking at, which is a sample, because it will be past its best by Sunday, but that he will receive one exactly like it. It makes the plant selling easy. And cut flowers are cut flowers any day. One can as satisfaetorily take an order for cut flowers on Monday as on Saturday — as satisfactorily, that is, to the cus- tomer. So it gets down to being a problem of getting the customers into the store. Advertising Makes Things Possible. Since retail florists have taken bold of advertising they have found many things possible which had not been con- sidered possible before. The non-adver- tising retailer cannot reach the buyers; he must await their pleasure. But the retailer who has learned that there is profit in telling the story to the public can put his facts before the buyers and shape the trade more or less as he will. As a general proposition, the Easter advertising is too late. It serves only to add to the rush at the last moment. Those who have tried it have found that the advertising is no doubt more effective in the three days before Easter than it is three days earlier; but what is the use of bringing in customers when you cannot satisfactorily wait on them I Consequently, the retailers who use newspaper space are now using it earlier. They are using it to get the early orders, knowing that the natural run of business will keep them busy the la^t few days. ' '- * • One of {he most successful retailers 1^:^.:^ . .£4^^ 36 The Florists' Review Mabch 13, 1913. has had printed a card to mail to his regular customers March 15. It reads to this efifect: Getting the Regulars Early. "In the few days before a holiday, such as Easter, there is a large increase in the transient trade. It therefore is urged that my regular customers place their Easter orders during the first part of the week. During these days the Easter display will be at its best, and regular customers can be waited on without being inconvenienced in their selections by the presence of those who buy flowers only at holidays. Easter display ready Monday, March 17, 1913." This retailer also will do his news- paper advertising March 16 to 18. He knows that by Thursday business will begin naturally and that the rush will increase from hour to hour until during the shopping period of Saturday he will not be able to wait on all the people who enter the store. Conditions Not Unchangeable. This florist is not one of those who believe conditions are unchangeable. Too many act as though they thought that what always has been must always be; they seem to fear to undertake any change from the routine of other years. The day has passed when a florist may prosper by simply sitting still and waiting for business to come his way. The great majority still make a living with no greater effort, but the progress and prosperity goes to those who have adopted modern methods of merchandis- ing. There are dozens of retailers through the country who are forging to the front in their communities through the use of the same methods that are employed in other lines of business, modified to meet the needs of the flower trade. They do not wait for custom- ers; they go out, one way or another, after the customers. The first response may not be heavy or prompt, but it is an old saying that ' ' Every little helps, ' ' or that "Every little added to what you 've got makes just that much more. ' ' Also that "Keeping everlastingly at it brings success." It is possible to educate the flower buyers to buy early and to buy often. just as it is possible to educate break- fast-food users to call for a certain brand when they visit the grocer. An Opportunity to Co&perate. The cooperative advertising that is being done by the florists in a number of cities offers one 6f the best means of correcting the tendency to crowd all the business into one day. One of the advantages of the cooperative advertis- ing is that it not only permits the use of larger space than the individual ordi- narily feels he can afford, but it seems to carry a greater weight from the fact that it is the concerted action of the leading members of the trade in a given vicinity. This extra weight should by all means be turned toward starting the business early, as well as toward arousing additional interest in flowers. As a matter of fact, under the condi- tions of the past it is more important to get the buyers started early than it is to increase the volume of business offered at the last moment. The Retailer's Part. The retailer himself should not leave everything until the last moment. Too many do it. They give the newspaper sixteen minutes in which to get up an advertisement before going to press, when nothing would be lost and much might be gained by allowing the print- ers several days for their part of the work. The retailer gets quotations from several wholesalers on his Easter needs in cut flowers, but he waits until the day of shipment and then orders by wire. The Easter plants are ordered at the last moment, when the shipper has more than he can do, are a day late in arriving and the whole operation is hur- ried and haphazard. A holiday rush reminds one of a catch-as-catch-can wrestling match, except that the par- ticipants are not in good training. There isn't the slightest need for it. In each and every branch of the business it is possible to act in time, so that one's own work need not be hurried and so that ample time for best service can be given to everyone from whom the flo- rists get supplies. It is common to hear, "Well, I am glad it's over," after a flower holiday. and the larger the business the speaker does, the more certain he is to make some such remark. It's all because no effort is made to push the business in- stead of letting the business push you. EASTEB PLANT ABBANGEMENTS. Harmony in Materials. The success of plants for Easter uses has depended most of all upon the skill with which. the florist selected the stock to be combined. It makes all the dif- ference in the' world whether an appro- priate receptacle is chosen. There must be harmony between the plants and the basket, or the plant business will not come up to expectations. On the other hand, where the retailer possesses the real artistic instinct, the sale of the Easter plant combinations only is lim- ited by the florists' opportunities of bringing them to the attention of the buying public. In this issue there are a number of illustrations showing Easter plant ar- rangements. Some are better than oth- ers, but each one shows some point which can be profitably applied to the production of similar, yet dissimilar, arrangements. The illustration on page 27 shows two low baskets of hyacinths. The one at the left was a pink variety and with it only ericas and adiantum were used. In the basket at the right the hyacinths were blue and the ribbon was carefully chosen for a harmonious shade of lav- ender. Of course both baskets were fitted with the metal pans, now to be had with practically everything of this character. Size, shape and coloring all were carefully considered. A Popular Bose. The illustration on page 28 shows two plants of Hiawatha rose, one trained in balloon shape and the other grown as a standard. These require no embellish- ment other than a pot cover, which must b0 chosen to produce an air of solidity, for the plants are large and heavy; a light, fussy pot cover would give a top-heavy appearance. On page 29 there is a boat-shaped wil- low basket that would be nowhere near Low Baikrtf of Tulipt Have Become a Popular Form of Easter Plant Arrangement.

The proportions are excellent. The only improvement would be the addition of ribbon. This basket was filled with Hexe azalea, a Clothilde Soupert rose, a Dorothy Perkins, some Superbissima fern and a Japanese maple. The big 'basket on page 29 was an arrangement photographed last Easter in one of the leading Chicago flower stores. It sold for $25, and of course is too large for use in the average retail place, for more plant arrangements will be sold at from $3 to $7.50 than at any higher prices. However, these big show pieces are good advertising, even if they are too expensive to be sold. This bas- ket was filled with hydrangeas and with a white rambler rose trained over the handle. In the front the variegated foliage is a funkia and peeping from the back is a lily. The ribbon was light blue, chosen because of the color of the hydrangea flowers. On page 25 is a Tausendschon rose. This has come to the front as possibly the one best-selling variety. The En- glish of the name would be Thousand Beauties and there literally are that many fascinations about a well-grown, well-flowered specimen. The one shown in the illustration, though it is not es- pecially apparent in the cut, had too large a pot cover. It was one of tht3 adjustable variety, too hurriedly chosen. A smaller size would have greatly im- proved the appearance of, the plant. Tulips in Low Baskets. Low, wide baskets of tulips are shown in the illustration on page 26. These are ready sellers. Of course the bas- kets were tin lined, for it is the tin containers that have made such plant arrangements possible; no one would want them if they were leaky or even scattery. The basket at the left was filled with red tulips. Note the way the bareness of the base is relieved by the use of adiantum. The basket at the right was filled with Murillo, possibly the commonest Easter tulip. The pussy- willows appeal to some and add variety. The ribbon might be either white or pink. Selaginella was used to fill the void between the edge of the basket and the tulips. "What would Easter be without the lily? High-toned stores that cater to the most select trade do not nowadays use so large a proportion of lilies as they did a few years ago; they have cut down on the lilies while adding variety to their stock by using other plants. But no flower store could be without lilies at Easter. There are more kinds of lilies than there are flower stores; almost as many as there are flower buy- ers. Doubtless there will be department stores selling lilies in clay pots, un- washed, at 29 cents per plant, and there will be thousands of good stores selling neatly arranged and carefully handled lily baskets at 25 cents per flower, with an extra charge for the receptacle. The florist supplies what his customers want — quality and price. The illustration on page 31 shows 'wo good lily arrange- ments. At the left is a single plant in a low, green willow basket, with some adiantum and hyacinths planted around the base of the lily. At the right is a large white basket, tin lined, in which three lily plants were made up. Each retailer will elaborate or modify accord- ing to his needs. Some Changes in Plant Vogue. On page 30 is an illustration which shows two of the new French hydran- geas. At the left is Lorraine, pink, and at the right, Avalanche, white. So good a judge of plants as E. Wienhoeber has been quoted as saying that these new varieties will put the old Otaksa out of business as an Easter plant, and the growers who have tried them endorse the retailer's view. The supply this season is much larger than that of last year. Azaleas will not this Easter cut as much figure as has been the case in other years — the trade does not seem to be able to handle it so profitably as in times gone by. The supply is not large this season, much lesls than usual, in spite of the early date of Easter, which should be in favor of good and plentiful azaleas. While some impor- tant firms have ceased to handle the plant, the probability is that a reaction will come in a year or two and that then larger quantities than ever will be forced. EASTEB CUT FLOWERS. A Beaction Is in Progress. One of the interesting developments in the trade has been the reaction from plants toward cut flowers. For a num- ber of years it has been the report that ' * this was more than ever a plant Easter," but in the better class of stores there has, for a couple of sea- sons, been a noticeable increase in the sale of cut flower arrangements; the public taste evidently is changing again. Not that plants are any less popular but that cut flowers are sharing more evenly in the increased business. Perhaps the increased sale of cut flowers is in some measure due to more reasonable prices, for the tendency now- adays is not to advance holiday values as formerly was done; but the chances are that a good share of the increase is due to the better methods the retail- ers are using in showing and selling cut stock. Until quite recently no re- tailer thought of offering cut flowers otherwise than put up in a box. But now the leading stores show them taste- fully arranged in baskets, and they sell the baskets with the flowers. In a good many cases the person delivering the flowers is competent to arrange them for the recipient. The basket and the 28 The Florists^ Review Mabch 13, 1913. arrangement both are important factors in the sale. Easter Fashions in Cut Flowers In this issue there are a number of illustrations showing cut flower ar- rangements of this character. The most pretentious of these is the big basket shown on pa^e .33. The store in which this was photographed last Easter sold it for $25. It was a large white bas- ket, decorated with a wreath of flow- ers. Of course it had a tin lining. The decorator filled the liner with crossed twigs, which made it possible for him to insert his flower stems in water al- most as he would have done in moss. The stock used was all spring flowers, including almost everything the season affords. Possibly the best sellers prove to be the baskets shown on page 34. At the left is an ivory finished basket filled with Mrs. Aaron Ward rosea. The handle carried a bow of good quality ribbon that exactly matched the roses. The supply houses new furmish splen- did matches in all the leading flower colors. At the right is a straw basket with a glass container. The color was yellow, with a green handle with a cute little bow at the top. The flowers were open Maryland roses, with a few tight buds, and some valley, inexpensive but extremely attractive. On page 35 the basket at the left was a fine seller. It was one of those dou- ble-barreled affairs of willow, with deep tin lining, making it possible to use long-stemmed roses. Those photo- graphed were Ehea Reid and the ribbon was Reid red. At the right was one of the Japanese straw baskets filled with mixed roses. Such combinations do not appeal to all tastes, but in some neigh- borhoods this basket of roses as shown at the right was a good seller. Some Excellent Sellers. On page 32 the illustration shows three simple little affairs that were good sellers. At the left the basket vase contained pink sweet peas. In the cen- ter Cattleya Trianse and lily of the val- ley are shown. The basket at the right was filled with Wilhelmina tulips and poet's narcissi. For the customer wanting something out of the ordinary the cut flower bas- ket shown on page 33 was provided. This was of Japanese straw, champagne color, with ribbon to match. Shaped like the schoolgirl's book bag, it con- tained a tin lining. The material used was cut sprays of Azalea mollis, Spiraea Gladstone and Japanese maple. PLANTS AND THEIK CASE. How to Handle Easter Stock. Next in importance to growing or buying good plants is the importance of giving them proper care when they reach the store, and proper packing when sent out to customers. Eastei comes at an unusually early date this year, in a month notoriously treacherous as to weather, so we should be prepared to give plants all necessary wrapping. We may be fortunate enough to have balmy weather just prior to the great floral festival, but of this we can never be sure. Of course, mild weather Rote Hiawatha is One of the Popular Easter Sei/ers. means a great saving in labor incidental to wrapping plants, but it would be wise to lay in an abundant supply of news- papers and other wrapping material. Better cover more heavily than may seem necessary, rather than have qom- plaints coming in of chilled and trifzen plants. Clean pots and careful stalling and watering are other details wjiich should be attended to. The grower who sends dirty pots to the store deserve^ to lose trade, yet some of them persisjt in doing it. No wonder they are passed in the race hy their more up-to-date competitors. \ - '- . • •• I - The Easter Lilies. ! Lilies are, of course, the most impor- tant of all Easter plants, and if one plant only is wanted it will probably be a lily. A large quantity are jthis season being subjected to hard forcing in efforts to flower them on time, f his means that many plants will carry flow- ers much lacking in substance and which are likely to suffer severely in a stoije if subjected to draughts and a moderately low temperature. Look over the pleats daily and remove all pollen masse^ to keep the flowers clean. Few of ; the giganteums should need any staking, but the taller growing Formosas and some of the multiflorums will reqiiire it. There is quite a call for made-up lilies in lO-inch to 12-inch pots or deep pans. It is always best to let the plants have the flowers about ready to open before making up. A lot of the soil can be shaken off or washed away with the hose. If the roots are not too much dis- turbed the plants will show little ill effect. Be sure, however, to keep the soil moist. In packing lilies, be sure to first wrap tissue paper about the flow- ers, and be careful when covering the spikes that they are not tied tight, so that the flowers will be bryised. Bambler Boses. Some rambler roses are likely to be rather lightly flowered this season and will show the effects of hard forcing. They are among the most popular of Easter plants. The old Crimson Ram- bler led the procession years ago, but it is not now much seen, the pink varieties having secured a commanding lead. A few years ago white was the predomi- nant Easter color. Outside of lilies this does not hold good now. Perhaps the greatest seller of all is Dorothy Perkins, but the newer Tausendschon pushes it hard for leading place. This latter proves a great seller. Unlike the majority of ramblers, this sort has a pleasing fragrance. Juniata, light pink, is a fine thing, as is Lady Gay. As a red we have nothing today superior to Hiawatha, with its bright red single flowers and rich, shiny foliage. Wed- ding Bells, American Pillar, White Dor- othy and Farquhar are all fine Easter varieties. Then in the so-called baby rambler, or dwarf class, we now have quite a range of shades, from dark red to pure white. The original Mme. Nor- bert Levavasleur has not a good color, but Mrs. Cutbush, Orleans, Catherine Zeimet, Phyllis and others are all of delightful shades. All the ramblers need a generous water supply. One drying out will severely cripple them, so be sure they never approach this stage. In the case of hybrid perpetual and hybrid tea roses in pots, it is not easy to time them to a nicety and it may be necessary to forward or retard them to March 13, 1013. The Florists^ Review 29 An Easter Plant Gmibioation of Hyclran|;eas and Rotes. hold them in the beat possible condition for Easter. Frau Karl Druschki, Sun- burst, Killarney, Brunner and Magna Charta are among the favorites in these classes. Hold plants which are well ex- panded in a cold, shaded house, but avoid cold air currents, which are al- ways liable to produce mildew. Oenlstas. No matter whether grown naturally, trimly sheared, or as standards, genistas make popular Easter plants. They are not good house plants when compared with rambler roses, azaleas or spiraeas, one week usually completely finishing them in a warm room. They sell well, however, and stand quite a low tempera- ture without showing any ill effects. They are easy plants to pack, as they can be pulled together closely without being damaged in the least. Do not place these in the store too many at a time, for it does not take many days to give them a jaded appearance. Do not stint them on water j they need an abundant supply.. Hydrangeas. Hydrangeas do not sell so freely at Easter as at Memorial day. Until re- cently H. Otaksa has been the only form of hortensis much in evidence in the plant markets, but the newer French hybrids are catching on wonderfully. Mme. Emile Mouillere is a beautiful white, Mousseline has mauve rose flow- ers, Bouquet Eose is a bright pink, Mile, de Tremault a superb white. General de Vibraye is a bright rose and La Lor- raine is rose, turning bright pink. These are half a dozen new sorts which will be considerably in evidence in future years. Hydrangeas can hardly be 'over- watered and it will pay to keep saucers below them to prevent drying out. Azaleas. There are always heavy sales of aza- leas at Easter, and both the colored and white varieties take well. The double white Niobe now takes the lead over Deutsche Perle, which latter is supreme in its color for Christmas. Apollo, double scarlet; Simon Mardner, double pink; Varvseneana, Paul Weber, -?5Te- fly. Empress of India and Vander Cruys- sen, to say nothing of the newer varie- ties, are good sorts to carry. There are some sorts with colors somewhat out of the beaten track, rosy lilac or lavender, particularly, which critical customers will buy in preference to the varieties most commonly offered. Few plants are more generally satisfactory than aza- leas in the dwelling. With a little picking over they are easily kept pre- sentable for two or three weeks, which is longer than the general run of Easter plants last. Acacias. Of all the hard-wooded plants, none are more beautiful than the acacias. Outside of A. paradoxa (armata) they are not offered at so low prices as other hard-wooded stock, their culture being more difficult. Quite a few varieties are now offered commercially. The peerless A. pubescens is seen only in limited quantities and many more could be sold. Armata, pendula, heterophylla, Biceana, cultriformis and Bailey ana all. make good Easter plants. In the case of A. armata the flowers should not be too much open prior to Easter; once the flowers become brown they spoil the ap- pearance of the plant, and in order to make such plants salable these discol- ored flowers should be removed. Never allow acacias to become dry, and ad- vise customers purchasing them to give them a liberal water supply; also, if they want to keep them in fresh condi- tion as long as possible, to give them as cool a room as they can. Spiraeas. For purchasers of moderate means, spiraeas are always popular. They can be profitably grown and sold at a com- paratively low price and make a really satisfactory house plant provided they get an ample water supply. While many plants will keep sufficiently moist with one good watering a day in the average living room, spiraeas must have two soakings or they will shrivel up. In A Well Proportioned Arrangement of Easter Plants. i 30 The Florists^ Review Maech 13, 1913. fact, they scarcely can be overwatered, and in place of the tag ' ' Water this plant every day," let it read "Water this plant twice a day. ' ' The old S. Japonica, while still grown considera- bly, is much inferior to such kinds as Gladstone, grandiflora compacta and astilboides, while the beautiful pink va- rieties, Queen Alexandra and Peach Bloasom, will bring even higher prices. These latter cannot be had in the best condition for Easter. They come better for Memorial day, but a good many are being grown for the coming Easter. To hold their beautiful color, keep them out of the sun when opening. Any spiraeas which are late can be given a night temperature of 70 degrees and copious water supplies. Such plants, however, must not be suddenly removed to a low temperature, or they will surely suffer. Dutch Bulbous Plants. The early Easters suit Dutch bulbs well, for by being grown along cool they become nice and stocky. For late East- ers retarding has to be done and taller plants are the result. It should not be necessary to support any of the bulbs, if properly grown. However, if sup- ports are required, use green painted stakes and green raffia, which will be comparatively inconspicuous. Such double tulips as Murillo and Couronne d 'Or, and singles like Keizerskroon, Queen of the Netherlands, Yellow Prince, La Reine, Flamingo, Pink Beauty and Duchess of Parma are popu- lar. Victoria among the bicolor, large trumpet narcissi, easily leads. It is a stocky flower. Emperor may need a little support, but Golden Spur stands up well. If the hyacinth spikes are well advanced, give a little support to them to prevent breaking. All bulbs in flower can be easily retarded in a cold pit. Late ones can be forced, but it is always at the expense of stockiness. These Dutch bulbs, being so hardy, can be stood outside the store and will not suffer from drying, cold winds as would spiraeas, ramblers or any of the forced deciduous • shrubs. Earthenware and wooden boxes made up with bulbs, with some small ferns or asparagus planted in with them, will be found quite salable. Primula Obconica. While some retailers taboo the prim- rose. Primula obconica, on account of the danger of poisoning from its leaves, it remains one of the most popular of moderate priced Easter plants. It is now in splendid condition and in little fancy baskets or hampers with a few pussy willows added it has a delightful spring effect. Of the various colors, the clear, bright pink is the best and will sell far better than either the pure white or bluish shades. Pick off any of the decayed flowers on the plants to give them a perfectly fresh appearance, and remember that they need a liberal water supply. One real drying out will mean the shriveling of nearly all the flowers. Cyclamens. For late Easters it is not easy to have cyclamens in good shape. This year they are exceptionally fine. Of course, to hold them back a cold house will have been necessary, but if they have been grown cold and airy, even as low as 40 degrees at night, they should be stocky and bristling with flowers and buds. Cyclamens cannot be as easily and cheaply grown as primulas, but any well-grown plant, provided it is of the large flowered type, will usually sell on sight. Cyclamens need a moderate water supply and do not dry up so fast as primulas and many other plants. Bhododendrons. Rhododendrons are not grown to any- thing like the extent of azaleas. They are of larger size than the latter and cannot be handled in small pots. The most popular Easter variety, and for that matter the finest of all for pot cul- ture, is that beautiful pink sort, Pink Pearl. There is never enough of this to go around, although, being as yet com- paratively scarce, it cannot be sold at as low prices as old sorts like Cunning- ham's White, roseum elegans, Charles Dickens and Boule de Neige. The rho- dodendrons should be well hardened off before being removed to a store or the flowers will wilt badly. Remember that these in common with other h&rd- wooded plants have fine, hair-like roots and must never become in the least dry at the root. ; Deciduous Flowering Shrubs. In this class are a number of varie- ties which always appeal to flower con- noisseurs, being peculiarly suggestive of spring. Lilacs are more grown than any other variety, ahd at this advanced sea- son, by being grown in full light all the time arid well hardened off, they haVe splendid foliage. It is noted that the pink and lavender shades sell better at Easter than the white ones. Marie Le- graye, single white, and Mme. Lemoide, double white, are the leaders of this color. If white and pink, or white and blue varieties are made up in large, rather deep hampers and sprays ,of mountain laurel are used to cover their lower stems, they look charming. Other deciduous shrubs in favor are the orna- mental crabapples, peaches and almonds. Care should be taken not to have these too fully expanded, for once the petdls start to drop they are not easy to sell. Deutzias, wistarias, staphyleas, Cratae- gus, forsythias and Azalea mollis are other popular plants. The last named, with its glorious shades of color, is easily the most popular and a group in any window produces a most charming effect. All these deciduous shrubs, if gradually hardened off, or grown cool, will stand a quite low temperature. Lily of the VaUey. A sufficient lot of well-grown lily of the valley in 6-inch or 7-inch pots rarely comes in at Easter. It cannot be prof- itably sold so cheaply as tulips or daffodils, but well foliaged plants carry- ing strong spikes, placed in suitable re- ceptacles, will sell before almost any other plants. The hard forced stock with a little pale foliage and drawn-up flower spikes is wanted by no one. Sala- ble plants should be grown in the light from the time the pips are three or four inches high. Then they will be a credit to anyone. Two of the New French Hydrangeai that Promiie to Displace Otakta at an Easter Pot Plant, Wf March 13, 1013. The Florists^ Review 31 The Lily no Looker is the Whole Thing at Easter, but it Still is Indispensable, in Pots or Cut. Marguerites. The fine varieties of marguerites, Queen Alexandra and Mrs. P. Sander, make great Easter plants. They do not bloom so profusely as the older and smaller flowered sorts, but their big flowers rivet attention at once. Mar- guerites stand considerable rough treat- ment, provided always they have water in abundance at the roots. In addition to the plants of large specimen size, small plants carrying a few flowers in 4-inch or 5-inch pots are salable and pretty effects can be produced with them in baskets and boxes. The yellow varieties do not make as shapely plants as the white ones, or they also would be in demand. Cinerarias. For a cheap Easter plant, the cinera- ria is in the front rank. Its many-hued flowers are hard to arrange pleasingly with other plants. Better stand them in a group by themselves in the store or greenhouse. As they do not like inuch sunshine, give them a shaded po- sition, and if instead of mixing the colors up indiscriminately, the whites, pinks, light blues, dark blues and reds are grouped together, the effect will be much more pleasing. Orchids. For high-class trade some of the more popular orchids cannot well be over- looked. While this is not the height of the orchid season, a fair assortment IS now to be had and some of these can be sold at a moderate price. Late plants of Cattleya Trianse can still be had, while C. Schroederae is in good crop. Dendrobium nobile in its many forms and D. Wardianum are beautiful varie- ties. If white flowers are wanted, noth- ing could be better than Coelogyne cris- tata, while in cypripediums the old C. villosum, Sallieri and others are to be had. One thing about orchids is that cost may be comparatively high but the flowers have great lasting properties. A drying out will not harm the plants at all and they can be carried over and flowered again if necessary. INTEENATIONAL FLOWER SHOW. The board of management has made the following dates for meetings of the societies cooperating in the show at New York: April 7. Society of American Florists. April 8. American Rose Society. April 9.

You would do me a great favor if you would let me know of a nursery where I can buy some good sized orange trees for planting in a greenhouse, to be grown for the fruit. When would be the best time to plant them? T. N. You should secure these from one of the firms in Florida or California which make a specialty of growing them. Such firms as Beasoner Bros., of the Royal Palm Nurseries, Oneco, Fla., could supply you. Winter is the proper time to secure the plants. C. W. Nantucket, Mass.— Robert B. King says funeral work has been unpriece- dentedly heavy in the last few weeks and speaks in praise of the prompt service obtained on telegraph orders sent to Boston for stock.

The sun is becoming more powerful and it will be necessary to give the glass a thin shadiAg, just sufficient to break the direct rays. The temptation to put on a heavier coating is strong when we get a brilliant day, suggestive of the tropics, but these in March are usually borrowed days and followed by dark, cold spells more closely re- sembling the arctics. Potting should be pushed ahead with C. Trianse and any other species need- ing it. Bather coarse and wiry fern fiber is better than the soft, spongy kind for cattleyas, as it wears longer, and be sure to firm the plants thorough- ly, whatever receptacle they are grow- ing in. No cattleya or other orchid loosely potted will ever thrive. Potting, when properly done, should enable any- one to pick a cattleya up by the bulbs and move it without disturbing the compost. It is a good plan when repotting to also clean the cattleyas. Use a brush that will reach right down between the top of the bulb and the leaf and clean any scale out thoroughly. This scale also will fasten itself on the bulbs and must be forcibly removed. Such insecticides as Aphine, Firtree oil and Imperial soap are all good for this purpose. • As C. Trianae passes out of flower we will be dependent on C. Sehroederse, now coming into season. This cattleya is pale in color and for some reason has never become popular. It, how- ever, is a beautiful variety and fills in the gap nicely until Mossiee and Mendellii come in season. A few Mossiee are already opening and soon there will be a good display of this easily grown and free flowering early summer orchid. A night temperature of 58 to 60 degrees will suffice for cattleyas, giving such varieties as gigas, Dowiana and Mossia; the warm end of the house except when in flower. "Watering of newly potted stock must be done sparingly until the roots are taking hold of the new compost. Better always to underwater rather than over- water orchids. Growing plants will now need more abundant supplies. All watering should be done in the morn- ing, and in spraying over on clear days plan to have the foliage dry before nightfall. Keep a sharp watch for cattleya fly; it usually comes on C. labiata, but will attack practically all varieties. Ab- normally swelled growths show the presence of the pest and the only rem- edy, a radical one, is to cut these off, cut them open and burn them. Fumigation may kill a few, as will fly papers, but the only real remedy is to cut open the growths. Phalsenopsis. At this season the beautiful moth orchid, the phalaenopsis, makes a truly magnificent show. It is such a fine and popular commercial orchid that it is not surprising to find more growers taking hold of it. In California, where the phalsenopsis is largely grown, it vies with the cattleya in popularity. Its culture is looked upon as difficult and comparatively few growers have handled it. It is true it needs some fussingorer, but given plenty of moist heat, a position near the glass, and suitable shade, there ara no special difficulties attending its culture. The phalsenopsis resents direct currents of air; anything like a draught is harmful, so ventilation must be carefully given. It succeeds well in pots, pans or bas- kets, but rather deep, cylindrical bas- kets are particularly good. It also thrives nicely on blocks with some fern fiber and sphagnum securely fast- ened to them. Just now the beautiful, much branched pink variety, P. Schilleriana, is in flower. Fifty to sixty flowers are not uncommon on this sort, sometimes as many as seventy-five to 100 being produced. The exquisite white forms, grandiflora, Bimestadiana and amabilis, are all now in season. It is unwise to leave the fully expanded spikes on the plants too long, as they" severely cripple them. A night temperature of 65 to 68 de- grees must be maintained, but on se- verely cold, windy nights it can be allowed to drop to 60 to 62 degrees. On dull days a temperature of 70 to 72 degrees should be kept, while on bright days it can be advanced to 80 degrees, with ventilation. Sponge the leaves occasionally with tepid water as a preventive of thrips and red spide? and keep a moist atmosphere, but keep water oflF the flowers, which soon be- come spotted; also be careful not to play the hose on steam or hot water pipes. Steam in the atmosphere will soon spot the white-flowered sorts. OUTLOOK FOB BULB GBOWING. Bight at the start comes forward the question, can any business be overdone? It can be answered by yes or no. The usual can be overdone, the best never. The way of the great majority often is clogged, but that of the painstaking few hardly ever. How is it with Europe! Many years ahead of us in growing, with far cheaper labor and still longer experi- ence, they are increasing their out- put year by year. But I think we can well stop a moment and take a look at the environment. We have an immense country, a population that is growing faster than production along food lines. Luxuries sometimes have to wait a bit. Flowers, the product of bulbs, are among the luxuries. Sometimes lux- 9 C 1 Sweet Peai, Orcbids, Valley, ToHpt and Narciwi in Easter Cot Flower Baskets. ■ > t^uTV^ - ' ,■ ^'^ '' ■•^ST' r5i-« ,ij,j u'iHjai^npp;;pii||j|!^Ji.Mi^l'l.;^,>i.i(.ww|«'l>>i)in!K>i>.'-'i)<«lw.in(vri. fU" ,»w,^ {^Kabch 18, 1013. The Florists' Review 33 This was a Big Basket of Mixed Spring Flowen. aries prove, in the end, to be necessi- ties. Such is the position flowers are in today. They are gradually becoming a necessity and will gain just so fast as intelligence and a love for the beau- tiful fasten themselves upon the peopje as a whole. Therefore, I take it that the future of bulb growing depends as much upon the intelligent, honest and painstaking grower as on any other factor. Put up the square deal on what you sell, the same as you insist upon receiving. Right along by the side of this put publicity for what you have to sell. No need to misrepresent or exaggerate the beauty of any flower. They came from the hand of the perfect One, and not by any jumping:jack, haphazard evolution. Put these two influences to- gether and we never need fear the overproduction of any really valuable flower. Show the people the value and thej will not only appreciate our ef- forts but will reward us financially. I believe the business of bulb grow- ing has struck a snag, if ''you will allow such an expression, and it is now up to the straightforward producer of good stock, with honest methods of handling and selling, to set the trade straight and reap the reward. The people of this country are being edu- cated faster than many realize. They are also watching the advertisements «f the goods, making comparisons, as It were, in the quiet of the hoiiii/ This f"onsultation, often around the fireside, necide^ the route fey which the next are learning it and some are profiting by honesty and sincerity. The grower suffers somewhat in com- parison with the producers of many of the necessities of life. His results largely depend on weather and he must plant, care for and harvest with this fact in constant view. His business is " largely dominated bv faith, but with that faith, borne upward by the reward that surely comes if faithful, he works on year after year with an abiding happiness that conquers all. In the bulb in which we are all more or less interested, the gladiolus, we have a good example. Year after year the bulbleta are planted with scarcely any regard to good or ill re- sults. Consequently the small or weak ones go in with the rest, and stock is kp^r* thereby. This is being remedied in some caMtR. This can be largely remedied by sifting the bulblets. Do- ing away with this evil will help the general stock. Carry this principle all along down the long row of bulbous flowers and the far-reaching results would in time surprise. I think we need have no fear of overproduction of good stock of any bulb, but we cer- tainly must have more care for selec- tion, the eradication of disease, and good keeping. The seed-corn growers are beating us by miles in carefulness and selection. New things are desirable, but the old standards have not lost their value. Twice two still makes only four, and it is fair to conclude 'twill so remain. I think we can reasonably say, put out good stock, be fair about the price, insist upon getting value received, but deliver the goods, and we need have no fear of the future in growing any bulb the market calls for.

I want them to bloom next winter. If this method of procedui-e is wrong, kindly tell me how to go abotit it to get flowering plants next winter. Is the c^op continuous aftfer they once commence to bloom? A. E. B. Your plants have been started a lit- tle early for next winter's crop. If you. have any vacant bench it would pay you better to plant them out now, placing them twelve inches apart each way, and get a crop of flowers through May and June. If topped once, the plants will send up five or six shoots eadh, all of which should be allowed to remain. An additional batch of seed, sown now, will give you good plants by the end of April, which can at that tiihe be planted out in the field, kept headed back, lifted and benched in the early part of August for winter flower- ing. Geo. E. Buxton, a successful grow- er of Silver Pink snapdragons, puts ea«h plant in a strawberry box, which he covers about one inch', and when lifting he thus gets a good ball of roots and the plants sustain little check. Of course, cuttings inserted now will also make you nice little stock to plant out about the last of April. Snapdragons do not mind a little frost and should be planted out earlier than such stock as geraniums, verbenas and petunias. C. W. SOWING SPSENGEBI SEED. Please let me know how to treat Asparagus Sprengeri seed to get the best results. Of some fresh seed that I sowed, only a small percentage ger- minated. C. B. Asparagus seed should be sown in shallow flats, containing about two and one-half to three inches of soil. A good rule to follow in regard to the depth of soil with which to cover the seeds, is to use enough to cover them- about the diameter of the seeds, or, in the case of asparagus, generally to cover them with about a quarter of an inch of soil. A thin coveriog of sand will answer well, and will keep the sur- face of the soil from baking hard. Place the flats in a temperature of 65 degrees and keep them moist, but not sodden, and there should be no trouble in germinating the seeds, pro- viding they are fresh, W. H. T. PRINCESS OF WALES VIOLETS. , When and how should Princess of Wales violets be watered and sprayed, and what ventilation is necessary dur- ing and after the process! What are the best temperatures in which to grow themf During the month of Decem- ber should they be treated different- ly? How can aphis and red spider best be fought? What is the effect of too much heat and closed ventilators on that violet? - E. L. Morning is the best time to do any necessary watering. Never allow vio- lets to become in the least dry at the root, or they will suffer severely and fall an easier prey to red spider. When you do water, give a thorough soaking. The proper night tempera- ture for single violets is 40 degrees; it should not exceed 42 degrees. No dif- ferent treatment should be given in December, with the idea of increasing the pick. No spraying should be given except near heating pipes, where spider is lia-, ble to attack the plants. Spray with nicotine or Aphine for green aphis, or fumigate with one of the tobacco pa- pers. Violets will not stand heavy fumigation. They want abundant ven- tilation. Only on the coldest nigh 1 3 should the ventilators be closed. Tco much heat and closed ventilators will mean flowers off color, a heavy cro of leaves, plenty of insect peats and au early runnin* out of the plants. C. W. DOUBLE VIOLETS IN POTS. Can anyone tell me how to grow double violets in pots to sell to locfd trade? I once saw some that carried- about seventy-five flowers to a pot an 1 they were beautiful. My location is western Massachusetts. A. F. J. Good field-grown plants should be dug up and potted in 6-inch or 7-inch pots in August. Place in a coldframe at first, keep freely aired and spray occa- sionally until established. Place in a cool greenhouse in September, giving a night temperature as near 45 degrees as possible. Bather let the heat run a little lower than higher in winter. Use soil such as you would grow roses or mums in, with a good proportion of decayed cow manure. Feed with liquid manure occasionally when they are well rooted in pots. You will find Lady Hume Campbell the best variety to grow. C. W. EUROPEAN NOTES. American readers are undoubtedly aware of the extraordinary outrage that was recently perpetrated by militant suffragettes at Kew Gardens. The glass in two orchid houses was broken and hundreds of valuable or- chids were torn from their pots and trampled under foot. An envelope bearing the words, "Votes for Women," was found among the wreck- age of glass and flower pots and the greenhouses had the appearance of hav- ing been swept by a terrible storm. Just how this outrage is to help women to obtain votes is difficult to conceive. The damage is estimated at $1,000.

Wilks; also upon James Whitton, superintendent of the Glasgow parks, and W. H. Divers, gardener at Belvoir Castle, a well knoWn gardener and writer on gardening subjects. David King, nurseryman, Edinburgh, who has succeeded W. H. Massie, seed merchant, Edinburgh, as president of the Scottish Horticultural Association, del^tred his inaugural address Febru- ary^. His subject was "Recent Ad- vanceir in Horticulture," and he ex- pressed the opinion that such advances had been more along scientific lines than on practical lines. Britain had al- ways stood high in practical horticul- ture and it was difficult to say that there had been much advance during the last half century.

You were kind and prompt in getting me the desired information regarding the pest on Rhea Reid roses for which I wrote you, . and for which I thank you. I am now writing to ask you for information through your paper regard- ing the culture of gardenias in the bench: also, how many blooms one should get per plant, and the average selling, pricji ^er Mop m W.^^ . ^, now be in sand or potted off. They will root in a month with a brisk bottom heat in a night temperature of 70 de- grees. Cuttings require frequent water- ing; in fact, with fairly coarse sand they can scarcely be overwatered. Keep the young plants close and shaded until established in the pots, which should be 2%-inch or 2%-inch. Later a shift can be given into 3i^-inch pots, although if the bench is ready they can go there direct. Gardenias want a light house, piped so that an absolute minimum of 65 to 70 degrees can be maintained with ease. I prefer to have the pipes below the benches, but near the ground, so as to afford some bottom heat. Use good drainage in the benches and for com- post two-thirds fibrous loam to one- third dry, lumpy cow manure. To this can be added some broken charcoal and coarse sand. Gardenias want a porous soil, through which water will readily pass. If this is not given the soil will become sour and the yellows will ap- pear sooner or later. Five inches of soil is ample. Set the plants fifteen inches apart in the rows and let the rows be twenty-four inches apart. Leave a lit- tle saucer about each plant and water in these for a time, until the roots are running through the soil freely. Too much water may bring on the yellows. Gardenias enjoy a brisk, moist heat. Mealy bug and other pests can be con- trolled by the judicious use of the hose. Right through the growing season spray the plants over in the afternoon and close up so as to have a warm, moist growing atmosphere. Always avoid any- thing like overwatering. Pinch the lit- tle plants once or twice as needed and, before they become too much grown, support by a wire stake, to which some of the stronger shoots can be tied. Some growers use no stakes, but it pays to have them. As autumn approaches, with colder "nights, use great care in watering.

Syringe on bright days, just often enough to keep the plants clean. A top-dressing of Clay's fertilizer mixed with some soot, loam and leaf-mold, not too much decayed, will bring a network of feeding roots on the surface. This form of feeding is preferable to using liquid manures. A small number of growers only are successful in flowering gardenias in winter, the time they bring highest prices. Anyone can flower them in spring and early summer. Values run all the way from $6 to $50 per hundred at wholesale. Few bring the highest price, and then only at the holidays. A fair winter price is $25 for good flow- ers with 12-inch to 18-inch stems. Short stems bring, of course, much less. The production per plant is hard to give. Those flowering in winter give far fewer blooms than such as are kept for spring crops, but it is in winter that they bring the highest prices; still there is a demand for good gardenias in the big markets the year around. C. W. THE RETAIL I FLORIST I EXPENSE OF BETAIL DELIVEBY. I should like to hear from any of my brother florists who are situated as 1 am in regard to that increasingly im- portant part of our business, the deliv- ery service. I am located in a town of about 12,- 000 inhabitants, with a large country territory, and with the nearest opposi- tion of any importance over 100 miles away. I have a small greenhouse in the outskirts of the town and a store in the business part. All the help I need is a man in the greenhouse and a sales- lady at the store. The sales run all the way from 25 cents to about $3 per pur- chase; few purchases are over the lat- ter amount, while by far the largest percentage average from $1 to $1.50. Of course, every store in town deliv- ers free of charge and so do I, but here is where the rub comes in: The free delivery on such small purchases not only eats up the profit but often devours a slice more. I am getting most of my flowers from the city and accord- ingly have to figure on the cost of the flowers laid down at my place. On the other hand, the florists in the city are doing quite a business shipping flowers out here and people are constantly go- ing back and forth; hence I have to sell tit city prices in order to sell anything at all. Now, if I deliver free of charge and have to send my man from the greenhouse to the store, have him de- liver a package or two or even three, and figure his time until he comes back again, as well as the cost of the box, wax paper, paper and string, the store expenses, etc., I am more than likely to be money out on purchases which do not amount to more than $1, while on purchases of from $1 to $1.50 I come out about even and on anything over $1.50 the profit is cut down to a con- siderable extent. A short time ago a wholesale grower from the city was here and I spoke to him about it, but, as I expected, he simply told me that I would have to deliver free at any time and anywhere, or I could not expect people to patron- ize me. Does he do the same thing f Let us see: I have a standing order with him for cut fiowers, which, with special orders sent in quite frequently, amount to from $10 to $20 per day. The flowers are all packed at a certain time and in one box. Any of the express companies will be glad to call at his place and get them, but at the end of the invoice I find a charge of 25 cents for packing and delivering. This in- cludes box, paper, string, icing, and tlie time it takes a man to do the packing. Now, how is it that the grower or wholesaler charges me 25 cents for this packing and imaginary delivering to the express company, on any order amounting to $15 per day, while I am supposed to furnish all boxes, wax pa- per, paper, string, clerk hire and inci- dental expenses without charge, and then deliver all these flowers free in small lots to all parts of town and at any time my customer wants them de- livered?"" It is simply because all the growers and wholesalers make this charge, while we little fellows tumble over one another to get the trade at any expense, without doing any calcu- lating as to whether or not the expenses connected with a sale eat up the whole profit. If we would come to an agree- ment to stop this tremendous expense of free delivery; if we would, like the wholesaler, charge our out-of-town cus- tomers with packing and delivery, we could all make the delivering pay for itself instead of being a heavy burden. In the city a boy can probably be hired for the job of delivering for about $3 per week; here I have to pay any young fellow from $6 to $8, and half the time cannot get one even at those wages. In the city the gasoline for a motorcycle or auto delivery car can be purchased for a good deal less than here. We are paying nearly 18 cents per gallon in tank lots, and for everything else correspondingly. Again, there is the delivering on Sun- day. I keep my store open on Saturday night until 10 o'clock, and on Sunday from 10 a. m. to 1 and from 7 p. m. to 9. I am not making a practice of deliv- ering on Sundays, but have a good many kicks on that. Some of my cus- tomers have even walked out without buying because I would not deliver free of charge. However, I look at it in this way: I cannot get anyone to work seven days a week for fifty-two weeks in the year by compensating him for only six days' work per week. One of us must be at the greenhouse and one at the store, and if delivering is done on Sunday, another helper is needed for this. Thus all three of us would have to work 365 days in the year, which I do not think is an enjoyable prospect for anybody. If I have to pay someone for delivering on Sunday, the expense is more than my profits amount to. If I call an A. D. T. messenger I have to Getting Packages Routed for the Deliveries, a Typical Easter Moroing Scene, in Front of a Hartford Flower Store. March 13, 1913. The Florists^ Review A Home Wedding Decoration Executed at Easter by Will Rchder, of Wilminston, N. C pay from 10 to 15 cents per package and frequently have to wait so long that the flowers are not delivered on time, which is as bad as no delivery, or worse. Besides, we live in a town which con- tains about sixteen churches. About ninety per cent of the flower-buying public are church members, or at least go to church whenever the doors are open, and, no matter what diagreements the different denominations may have among themselves, they all alike teach you to keep the Sabbath. However, coming from church, they drop into the flower store and buy a few flowers for the dinner table, and if these are not delivered for them they feel terribly put out about it. Now, how could this delivery ques- tion be managed so as to be satisfac- tory all around and at the same time lot be a source of loss? Would it do to cut delivery out on small purchases? Will it be necessary to deliver on Sun- •1 »^ -J r' « ;^MH* An Eatter Church Decoration in a Country Town. ai The Floruits' Review Mabch 13, 1913. movable date, and how the exact date is fixed, they tell us that it is fixed by the "ideal tnoon" adopted many cen- turies ago by the church. There is •.1 : not a great deal of difference between -Sf'* the "true moon" and the "ideal "-''^ - inpo4^* in their phases, but sometimes the "true moon" may just miss the "ecclesiastical moon." When it comes to fijguring just where the difference lies you touch upon a pretty complicated astronomical subject. It is safe to say, however, that Easter comes on the first Sunday- after the first full moon after March 21. Or, to put it another way, Easter is the first Sunday occurring after the first full moon, or more ac- curately, after the first fourteenth day of the moon following the vernal equi- nox. The vernal equinox invariably falls March 21, so that the Easter festival cannot come earlier than March 22 or later than April 25. Not since 1856 has Lent come in sp early as it did this year, and not for ninety-five years more will we have so early a Lent and Easter. Some day we hope it will not be a movable feast. Florists are not the only ones who would like Easter given a fixed date, and there is a strong and growing move- ment toward such a change. BASKET or LILIES. The basket of Easter lilies is-the one indispensable feature of an Easter dec- oration, no matter where or for what. It is an arrangement every florist will be called on to make times without closely together that they show no in- dividuality. The accompanying illus- tration is interesting as showing a well proportioned arrangement of lilies with pussy-willows. It was by E. L. John- son, Palmer, Mass. , . , ^ Why flowees wilt. Flowers wilt because of the collapse of the individual cells of which they are made^ up. So long as these cells are distended the flowers remain fresh. This distention is due to osmotic pres- sure. If the osmotic equilibrium — that is, the osmotic pressure within and without the cells — can be kept uniform, the flowers remain fresh. If the osmotic equilibrium is disturbed, the flowers wilt. Now, osmotic pressure depends upon the presence in the cell of a liquid containing substances in solution. The proportion and character of the substance dissolved determine the de- gree of osmotic pressure exerted by the liquid within the cell. L. Fourton, associate professor of chemistry, and Vital Ducomet, profess^ or of botany, at the National School of Agriculture at Eennes, France, have made a series of experiments during the last three years to determine the in- fluence of various solutions in prolong- ing the life of cut flowers through their influence on osmotic pressure. Over 100 varieties of plants were experi- mented with and over 100 experiments were tried on each. It was found that mixtures of mineral and organic sub- stance* were, as a rule, not so effective Basket of Lili<8 Arranged by Ernest L. Johnson,PaImer,Ma8s. number in the next few days. The one mistake most frequently made is to use too many lilies, producing 4 crowded effect. The idea of abundance always is desirable in any flower ar- rangement, but the beauty of the lily is lost when the flowers are packed so as either alone. Inorganic substances were helpful only in very dilute solu- tions, a strength ef one 'part in 10,000 giring the' best results. With organic substances a solution varying from one to ten per cent proved most efficient. The results arrived at showed that no one substance was universally help ful, though solutions of sugar were more generally helpful, than those of any other substance. The strength of the solution to be used varied with the dif ferent plants. Lilacs, lilies, sweet peas and a few other flowers were hurt, not helped, by the addition of sugar to tho water. Sugar' seemed to have no influ- ence either 6ne way or the other on marguerites, chrysanthemums and tu- lips. Nearly all the other popular flow- ers were benefited by the addition of sugar to the water in which they were kept, the life of the flower being length- ened from ten to 300 per cent. The strength of the sugar solution ""to be used varies with different flowers. With carnations a fifteen per cent sugar solu- tion is helpful; with most roses a solu tion of from seven to ten per cent in strength gives the best results. Or- chids did best in solutions varying from ten to twenty per cent of sugar. The sugar solutions accelerated the opening of buds, particularly among roses and orchids. Lilacs, though injured by sugar solu- tion alone, were helped by a twelve per- cent solution of sugar containing one part of manganese sulphate in 10,000. Chloral, ether, glycerin and alcohol in varying proportions helped certain of the blossoms, while others were helped by lime water, potash and its salts, and ammonia and its salts. The only advantage of changing water seemed to be the prevention of putrefaction; otherwise changing the water in which flowers stand seemed detrimental. The more deeply the stem was immersed in the water or solution, the better the result; that is, the water should come as near as possible to the blossom. COMPOSITE CROPS. Different Species Grown Together. In these days, when the increasing cost of production threatens to deplete the fair profits the florist deserves, the problem of "making two spears grow where one grew before" should receive large attention. And the problem is largely hinged on the question as to what different species will do well to- gether in the solid beds without emulat- ing the theory of survival of the fittest. To find out definitely what species will grow in harmony, what plants will use the different chemical constituents of the soil, what kinds will not rob each other of root formation, what kinds will help each other in the battle against their insect enemies, the stronger attracting certain pests until its weaker copartner gets a good start — these are the main points to be con- sidered in this plan of plant manage- ment. I sowed two pounds of cabbage seed with one and a half pounds of white- tipped Scarlet Turnip radish. The stand was even and I pulled the radishes out when fit for market. In the mean- time they had attracted the flea beetles and kept them from the cabbage plants. But if you wish to grow beautiful plants by old methods, try the Volga; it is such a swift, robust grower that insects are left behind in the race and insectici'.ea are quite Unnecessary. I Seven Crops in a Season. I have seen a Detroit florist grow this succession: Early in the spring Mabch 13, 1913. The Florists' Review 39 he cut a ^ood crop of spinach from seed sown in the fall; also some pansy T.lants. He plowed the land and planted lettuce plants from his greenhouse. When the lettuce was nearly market- able he drilled radish seed up the rows. When these were being pulled he planted wax beans which had been started on sod in his greenhouse. Then • ame crops of summer lettuce, fall radishes and spinach. A New York market gardener once told me that I tried to get too many (^^rops from the same piece of ground in one season. He relied on a single crop. But I would rather have the satisfaction of the Detroit florist who grew seven crops than that of the New York gardener who secured but one. I had several thousand cosmos plants which grew too rank in the beds. I thought I would try lopping off the tops, as they were touching the glass. As an experiment I stuck the slips in between the tomato rows in a hotbed. In a few days they rooted and I dis- covered that these cuttings made flow- ering plants much sooner than those from seed, besides doubling my plant supply. In fact, somef were in bloom before I planted them out in June. Cream on Cream. Gladioli seem to be a popular go- between in greenhouse plantings in this vicinity. Especially do carnation grow- ers take to this bulb. But there are those, like the aforementioned New York gardener, who desire to see but one crop growing on the same ground at the same time. They forget that if they select those kinds that do not intrude on their neighbors, whatever is added to the income from these extra sales is but cream on cream. Having 2,000 pond lily cosmos unsold one season, I planted them between the hills in a field of Golden Bantam corn; after the corn was cut the cos- mos massed the field and several thou- sand cuts of the bloom added to the season's profits. If we only knew all the workings of the underworld of roots — if we could see all plant life upside down, as it were — we (fould more easily choose those that would couple in harmony. If such plants as the gerardias are root parasites, as some botanists assert, we must beware of that class. On the other hand, those of the order of le- gumes, the sweet pea, etc., from their reputed congenial habits of growth, might be welcomed in composite flori- culture. With some greenhouse crops, such as -^\m <#.!

In solid beds, until I can deter- mine whether or not they are root parasites, I shall be slow to companion them with other kinds of plants. With the advent of hybrids having more sturdy, less wiltable bloom for cutting, with its already proved adaptability for bedding out and its ease of propaga- tion from seed or from cuttings from low side shoots, the pentstemon is on the verge of a wave of popular fashion or public favor, such as is already ex- perienced by many of its more for- tunate neighbors. Mushrooms may be grown in many beds without inconvenience to the host. Montbretias may be used quite as well as gladioli. Sea kale and Swiss chard, owing to their increasing popularity, must be given consideration. Cultivate some of the "new things" in the open during the summer; give specimens or messes to the fancy res- taurants; let them sample and whet their appetites; then try to force some to supply your trade. I have found that a bunch of flowers or hamper of some new vegetable, freely given. away, often brings a good reward in the following sales. Ulysses R. Perrine. A MABDI GBAS BOUQUET.

CLAY'S FEBTILIZEB. -*i What proportion of Clay's fertilizer should be used to a gallon of water f 8. B. A teaspoonful to a gallon of water is a sufficiently strong dose for the aver- age soft-wooded plant. Such plants as callaa, hydrangeas, marguerites and chrysanthemums will take it double that strength. Clay's fertilizer can also be applied as a top-dressing; one teaspoon- ful to a 6-inch pot should be applied to such plants as begonias, primroses, cine- rarias, cyclamens, geraniums, calceola- rias, etc. Strong growing ferns, like cibotiums and nephrolepis, are benefited by Clay 's fertilizer, but use it half as strong as for the flowering plants, and in liquid form. C. W. f the several varieties. This is univer- sally considered the commercial orchid, and no doubt it is, but what a welcome lolief are the pretty dendrobiums, of \vhich there were a few in bloom! Mr. ^'esey pointed out some new growths 'oming on and they certainly have fine prospects ahead. This being a rather "ew department on the place, they are "aturally enthusiastic over it. IHILIP C. SCHUPP. IT is an old saying that the man who rides a hobby is the worker who never feels a strain — the hobby affords the necessary relaxation from the cares of business. F. C. Schupp's hobby is Indian arrow heads. It is said his collection is one of the finest in America. Starting with the bits of flint picked up in the vicinity of his home, for the Budlong greenhouses in Chicago stand on what once was In- dian camping grounds, he has added to his collection until it represents most of the important tribes of the middle west. Mr. Schupp is manager of the selling and financial end of the J. A. Budlong estate and this winter has had also much of the responsibility for the greenhouses, because of the ill health of A. H. Bud- long, but a trip to the Indian mounds of Kentucky has put him into fine form for the heavy spring work. From here we went into the rose sec- tion. Mostly the Killarneys are grown. Mr. Vesey is enthusiastic over My Maryland, which he says has paid them perhaps the biggest returns of any va- riety on the place. Several beds had plants which were in their fifth year and were coming on with a fine crop, after having had a short rest. Rhea Reid is another favorite here. This is one of the few places where this variety has succeeded under glass, but it has done well here from the first. Sun- burst was being worked up into cut- tings as fast as could be. It promises to be a great favorite here. Mr. Vesey is a strong champion of Glories^ and he thinks equally well of KWhit^ejpondcr. Ho has both in tine Wape. ^Enchantress and White Enchan- tress are both grown extensively and well, but the first two will be given considerable space next year which now is occupied by the latter two. Rose- pink Enchantress will be dropped. In red. Victory and Delhi are grown. Vic- tory will be dropped and St. Nicholas grown in its place. Delhi has given a large cut of blooms, but lacks in color. Rosette will be increased considerably next season. A fine house of snapdragons will just about give a cut for Easter. Mr. Vesey grows these from seed annually, instead of propagating from cuttings, as most of us do. Except for the wide varia- tion of colors, this seems to be a good way to handle them. Mr. Vesey says they sell, and that is all that is needed. A fine bed of smilax was seen. A large quantity of lilies is being brought on' for Easter and they will make it just right. Gardenias are to be given a trial here next season. A nice batch of young plants, now in 3-inch pots, is coming on.

It should make a place for itself among the pink forcing roses. Five new members were taken in at the meeting and the membership list has grown far beyond any previous mark. These visits to points outside of Indianapolis are proving a great suc- cess in stimulating interest among the members, and certainly they are a great help in building up the membership.

The vine-covered archway here illus- trated is one of the many features of interest in Bona Venture cemetery, at Savannah, 6a. The photograph was taken by H. J. Corfield, a landscape gardener who has a wide acquaintance in the trade. Many florists will recognize the vine as Bhynchospermum jasminoides, though its strictly * correct botanical name seems to be Trachelospermum jasmi- noides. In every-day English it is called the star jasmine, for it has star-shaped, five-lobed flowers, which are white and deliciously fragrant. It is also fre-- quently referred to as the Malayan or African jasmine. Moreover, in the southern states, where it is a favorite best when supported on a large, strong trellis, not much less than ten feet in height. In favorable conditions it is a strikingly handsome vine, even when devoid of flowers, and in its blooming period it is often almost an unbroken mass of white. It commences to bloom in April and continues in flower till late in May. The blossoms are pendu- lous, about an inch across, and grow in clusters of five or six. In the north it is popular as a speci- men plant in greenhouses and conserv- atories, where it is commonly grown in large tubei in the form of dense bushes, attaining both d, height and width of three or four feet. It requires several years, however, to develop specimens of that character. It is propagated by means of cuttings, preferably taken with a heel in the spring, from half- ripened wood. In order to obtain satis- factory results, it is necessary to give the young plants rather careful treat- ment, keeping them in a warm house and promoting a vigorous growth. When the plants are well established, how- ever, they should be transferred to a cooler house, and during summer they may be plunged outdoors in partial shade. They should be watered freely in hot weather, but kept on the dry side during the winter. THE DAHLIA, THE FLOWER. [A paper by J. T. Fltchett, of Janesvllle, WU., for presentation before the Western Dahlia and Gladiolus Association, at Chicago, February 7, 1913.] The dahlia is not only a flower, but the flower. No other flower can give such a wide range of form and color, or such a long season of bloom as the dahlia. In fact, some growers are be- An Excellent Specimen of Ehynchoipermum Jasminoides. outdoor plant, it is familiarly known as the Confederate jasmine. It is a tender, evergreen plant, a native of the southern part of China. In this country, therefore, it is not suitable for outdoor cultivation except in the extreme south, where it flourishes ginning to try winter growing for flowers as well as to propagate plants. First mentioned by Francisco Her- nandez in 1657 as a single flower grow- ing in Mexico, it was later introduced into Europe under the name Dahlia variabilis, from the wonderful ^se with which it could be changed in form. The show and fancy types were soon developed to 9. wonderful degree, and were the only forms known until com paratively recent years. Within the last two decades marvelous advance ment has been made in producing ne^^ forms that are scarcely recognized as descended from the formal * * daylies ' of our grandmother's garden. Some thing over 6,000 varieties are now- recognized by the various national societies, classified as follows: The Types. Cactus — Petals long, narrow, edge •rolled back. Decorative — Petals and flower flat, full to center. Show and Fancy — Bound, ball-shaped flowers, petals quilled; lines are not very definitely drawn between these two classes. They are the oldest form of dahlia. Pompon — Miniature flowers, mostly of show and fancy type, although a few cactus varieties are now being introduced. Peony-flowered — Large, loose flowers, two or three rows of petals, open center. Single — Only one row, usually eight petals. Collarette — Like single, with a collar of small petals at base of large ones, usually of a contrasting color. Anemone — Two rows of flat petals surrounding the center of small tubular petals. American growers have done their share in bringing out good varieties. Frank Smith, originated in Philadel- phia over seventy-five years ago, is still the best selling fancy, while A. D. Livoni is the most popular florists' pink show. Ruth Forbes, pink, is de- scribed by the secretary of the German Dahlia Society as the first American cactus variety. Our president has to his credit a number of good varieties, among them Foster Barnes, a large white show. Thompson's Alexis, Jr., is a small counterpart of Grand Duke Alexis, with a good stem. Koerner's single white. Snow Storm, and rose pink collarette are both good. Some Good Sorts. Wonderful effects can now be pro- duced for table decorations with the almost endless variety of colors in the cactus group. The more formal deco- rative and show varieties, such as Mrs. Roosevelt, Cuban Giant, Souvenir de Gustave Doazon, Le Colosse, Yellow Colosse, Dreer's White, W. W. Eawson, •leanne Charmet and Delice are espe- cially good for church decorations. Nothing could be better than Queen Wilhelmina, white peony-flowered, for a spray. Philadelphia, Bertha von Suttner, Lord Milner, Germania and Mrs. Seybold are all good. Geisha is perhaps the most striking flower of the group, with its long twisted petals of oriental red and yellow. Culture. Any soil that will grow corn will grow dahlias. Too rich ground means rank foliage and late flowers. Give plenty of sunlight, avoid shade and spraying the foliage with cold water. At planting time divide to one eye on a division and cover four or five inches deep. Constant cultivation will accom- plish more than any amount of water- •.v^-^*^;-:- ■■>■ March 13, 1913.

When cutting the blooms, trim off surplus foliage and dip the base of the stem in boiling water for a half minute, then put in cold water for an hour oi more. Treated in this way, you will not have trouble with flowers wilting when shipped. The writer is not a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but he ventures the assertion that the next ten years will mark a large increase in the use of the dahlia as a cut flower, and also the growing of a number of varieties under glass for winter use. THE SMALL GBOWEB. [An essay by H. Klelnstarink, of Louis- ville, awarded third prize In a contest con- ducted by the Kentucky Society of Florists.] As a member of your society and your craft, and doing business on a small scale — in plainer words, being a one-horse florist and grower — I am naturally confronted with the problem of making the most of it, without inter- fering or clashing with others in the same boat. If we look back, say twenty years, we shall find that there is as much difference as night and day between the way business was done then and the way it is done today. Not only do we have to compete with enormous establishments, or factories of cut flowers and plants, which, at the de- mand for more and choicer stock, sprang up and are still springing up like mushrooms after a spring storm, but we have to take account of, and coax, the new and sometimes no bet- ter styles and fashions which make yesterday's stock a total loss on our bands today. Difficult Competition. It would be impossible for the small grower to compete successfully with the large one, on account of the lat- ter 's greater capital and smaller cost of producing and marketing his prod- ucts. And that is not all, but here is the main drawback in a small place: While his big brother is contracting to deliver so many thousands of flow- ers a day, and will stand by his con- tracts even if he has to go into the open market some few times in the year and buy there himself, the small fellow is only cutting a few every day, and of course be cannot contract for even that small number; or, if he does, he will soon find that he has over- reached himself, being unable, through several causes, to live up to his con- tract. If, in times of plenty, he totes his cut around to the several stores, the proprietors of these will either tell him they do not want the flowers, or will offer such a ridiculously low price for them that he feels discouraged in- 'leed, and begins to cry "Murder!" and "Help!" saying the business is going to the bow-wows, and such things. Time to Face About. Now is the time, in the writer's opin- ion, to change front entirely, as soon as We find out that we are on the wrong track, and try it from a differ- ent standpoint. Most of the small growers have their greenhouses in the city's outskirts, and have, if they only knew it, a market right at their door without much trouble, which can be added to every year to the satisfaction of everybody.

Gentlemen: During the past year I paid you $18.20 for a half inch advertisement in the Retail Florists Department of The Review, I received through this small advertisement, from January 1, 1913, to December 31, 1913, orders to the amount of $566.00. They cane by mail and telegraph from New York to San Francisco and from New Orleans to Minneapolis. Since I allowed the senders 20^, the record is as follows: Total value of orders $566.00 Less 30f allowed senders 113.20 Net value of orders. : . 453.80 Here is an addition of $452.80 in business which could not otherwise have been obtained and at an expense of only $18.20. Since my advertisement appeared only in The Review it goes to show what the retail florists through the country lose if they do not use this medium of advertising. It also goes to show that The Review is not only there with a big "P" but that it has three more big "R's" - Readers - Reliability • ResultsI Yours respectfully. Not only is there an increasing de- mand for cut flowers in every shape or form, but the plant business is end- less, and nearly all through the year there are some kinds of plants that we can handle with both ease and profit. Several years ago, when I was visiting a brother florist, a lady customer came in and wanted a floral design made, but my neighbor told her he sold only at wholesale. Here is where he was, in my opinion, altogether wrong. In this manner he lost a trade which by this time would have made him inde- pendent of the stores and of his big brother with 100,000 or mote feet of glass. Some small growers tell me, * ' Oh, it is too much trouble to bother with these little orders, and then it is so much work to have so many different kinds of flowers and plants to grow. ' ' Of course it is trouble and worry, but it pays, and any trouble that pays ought to be good enough for everybody. A Gk)od Betail Trade. Where a small grower now has only carnations or something else on his benches, and cannot make them pay after a certain time, let him have some- thing that will pay him better, perhaps not the first year, but surely in a short while, ^et the people once know you have something good for gale in your greenhouses, and they will flock to your place and buy it. There is nothing that can compare, for the small grower, with a good re- tail trade. Once he has that, and at- tends to his business right, he can sleep without worrying about tomor- row. A great many people who live in the outskirts of our cities, being mostly of moderate means, are glad when they can call up a florist in their neighbor- hood and order cut flowers or designs or anything in the floral line, and know they will not have to pay quite such high prices as in the regular flower store, since by buying from the small grower they miss paying the profits of the middleman. In this way we would not hear so much about sur- plus flowers, but would let the whole- saler and store man fight this out be- tween themselves. Of course a great many more points could be brought out, but it will prob- ably be better to bring these out in the general discussion, in which I hope all the members will join with great good will and with no hard feelings, and so increase the knowledge that is so nec- essary in our craft.

Jr.. before the IniTlana State Florists' Association at Fort Wavue, March 4, 191.x ] The subject for the remarks I am going to make has been the absorbing topic among the allied trades for the last year, and no doubt most of those present have given a good deal of thought to this topic, namely publicity. This association was organized for the same reason that other clubs and associations were organized, the ad- vancement of the members ' interests. We have secured advancement in that we know how to grow stock better, keep down disease, and many other things of note. But the times are changing, and so must we change. Mil- lions of feet of new glass have been erected in the last year, which means a far greater supply of flowers than ever before. As j'et nothing has been done toward creating a demand to con- sume the increased supply. Well, why not now? I might say we are a fraternity, and a fraternity is only strong when its members pull together. We want to plan our business interests together, or, in other words, we want cooperation. We want to especially study what in- terests the public. The road to suc- cess lies in serving the public, and this can only be done by all taking a com- mon interest in the forward movement. The S. A. F. and Publicity. This association cannot hope to ac- complish all that we would wish. Our strongest hope lies with the national society. It is to the S. A. F. that we should lend our help and attention, as it is mainly through this body that we can hope to draw the attention of the public to our wares. Let us consider what the S. A. F. means to the average florist. It means a vacation, a picnic and a general good time. But those of you who have attended the last two conventions have found a different at- mosphere prevalent. Questions of ex- ceeding importance have come before the convention and been acted on. The florists who attend these present-day conventions are thinkers. They have come to realize that the business is not 80 easy as it used to be. At the last convention, held in Chi- cago, a publicity committee was ap- pointed. Through some mistake or oversight, this committee was given no power to act, inasmuch as there was no sum of money set aside for its use. I believe a fair sum will be forthcom- ing this year. The purpose of this com- mittee was to get out such advertise- ments and readin'g matter as will at- tract public attention in the desired direction; to send copy to representa- tive fities for all leading flower days, such as Christmas, Easter and Thanks- : giving; to send copy which will eventu- ally make national flower days of Lin- coln's and McKinley's birthday, St. Valentine's day and of Mothers' day. There are unlimited possibilities for this committee. It could suggest to the political parties of this country that they should have a special flower em- blem. Just stop and think what this one item would mean to our business. They could reach the women of this country through such mediums as House and Garden, Country Life, Ladies' Home Journal, Woman's Home Com- panion and numerous other magazines. They could teach the women how to care for plants in the house and gar- den, when to sow seeds, the varieties, how to water, and numerous other cul- tural details. Do you not think this would awaken a widespread interest in our trade? Civic Improvement. One of our big opportunities is the awakening of so many cities to civic Tbe Editor Is pleased ^^liexi a Reader presents his Ideas on any subject treated In fVIC^ As experience Is the bent teacher, so do vre learn fastest by an exchance of experiences.

WK SHAIX BE GLAD TO HEAR FROM TOU improvement. This item alone is of prime importance to us in that it arouses public interest in the beautiful things we grow, which could probably be aroused in no other manner. Civic improvement I spell with four letters: H-o-p-e. Another matter of recent date and of vast importance to us is the parcel post. The parcel post has opened un- limited territory for us to work in. Seedsmen can now quote prices in their catalogues on goods delivered to the door. This is an attractive #38ue to the average catalogue buyer. If the people learn to buy from the seedsmen through the parcel post, why not from the cut flower man? You have all noticed the lack of at tendance at flower shows. Why is this? You all know the answer. The shows have not been advertised in the man ner and places that attract public at- tention. The public has not been made to realize what it has missed by pass- ing by a flower show. We must surely realize that a flower show is one of our fortes. Why go to the trouble of get- i ting up a flower show, with all of the ] provoking problems, and not properly advertise it? I attended the National Flower Show in Boston and from the size of the crowds each day anyone could tell that a great deal of thought and attention had been given to adver- tising. The building was exceedingly large, the crowds so large one could hardly force a way through. Did it pay? Well, rather! The National Flower Show. ' Gentlemen, a big opportunity is com- ing to bring the trade under public no- tice. That opportunity will be April 5 to 12, at New York. A wise selec- tion was made when the National Flower Show committee was chosen. Every member is energetic and doing all in his power to make it a success. And I think it will be. It has been largely advertised all through the east. The entries are large, but they should be larger, and would be if the florists realized what an excellent chance they have to impress the public. All of you gentlemen should attend the show if it is possible to do so, for you will re- ceive value for value. A small way to advertise is over- looked by nearly every florist; namely, a buttonhole bouquet. Perhaps you do not realize the value of this small item. How easy it is to stop at the refriger- ator and select a nice carnation or rose and put it in the buttonhole before going downtown! We all do it at a florists' gathering, but why not at home? I am like the 'rest of you; I hate to wear a flower, simply because no one else does. Nevertheless we are overlooking one item of advertising. I think I'll advertise from now on. Showing the Way, A florists' paper has taken up the matter of publicity in this way: In a January issue it went to a great deal of trouble and expense to show the trade how to advertise properly for St. Valentine's day. It went still farther and printed numerous photographs re- garding new modes in the arrangement of boxes and decorations for St, Valen- tine's day. That issue no doubt helped a great many florists along this par- ticular line. It is a good start in the right direction and I hope they keep it up. The New York Florists' Club has taken up the question of publicity and from all reports the proposition seems to be moving along nicely. That is what all the florists' clubs in the coun- try should do. And this will be the final outcome, as the florists are awaken- ing to the fact that something should be done toward creating a demand. Covington, Ky,— W, R, Miller's Sons, who have a range of seventeen green- houses at Oakland and Wallace avenues, have opened a retail store at Eighth street and Madison avenue, one of the best locations in towit. It is a tasteful, attractive store and the public is show- ing appreciation of it. Mabch 13, 1913. The Florists' Review 47 , , PLANTING GLADIOLI. . ,., Will you please answer the following questions in regard to the culture of gladioli here, in northwestern Ohio? What is the diflference between soft and hard-shell bulbletsf Will bulblets from planting stock do as well as those from blooming bulbs? I have been told that fresh stable manure should never be used on land intended to be planted to gladioli. Part of the land on which I will plant mine for the coming season was manured last season; the other part has not been manured for several years and is not as rich as it should be. How would you manage so as to get good re- sults? Would you use commercial fer- tilizer? If so, how much and what kind? What effect does fresh manure have on them? My soil is yellow sand and rather light. If I plant America, Mrs. Francis King and other varieties side by side in rows, will they run out, or should each be planted separately? I shall appreciate an answer to these questions through The Eeview. , ' . . F- J. K. So-called soft-shell gladiolus bulblets are not really bulblets, but small bulbs of one year's growth from bulblets. Bulblets from planting stock will grow the same as from blooming bulbs. Fresh stable manure spread on ground in winter or early spring is not harmful. It would be fully as good as most commercial fertilizers, if not bet- ter. Fresh manure in contact with the bulbs, however, is too heating.

The exceedingly cold weather of the last week — the thermometer register- ing 10 degrees, with a gale from the northwest — has burned up coal and had a depressing effect on the demand, thus affecting the growers unfavorably, both in cost of production and in diminution ■of sales.

FLORISTS' PUBLISHING CO. 530-60 Caxton Bldg. Chicago Whitman, Mass. — W. B. Brown, who combines landscape gardening and the nursery business with the florists ' trade, says the outlook for spring is excellent. He has the contract for tree planting at Kenberma park, Nantasket Beach, as well as a number of nice orders for public and private work at Fall Eiver, Brockton, Eockland and other places. Cleveland, O. — Peter Nichols, the Su- perior Arcade florist, who was forced into service in the Greek army in the Balkan war while he was visiting his former home five months ago, has writ- ten to a friend here, enclosing a photo- graph of himself as he appears in his Greek uniform, and stating that he is looking forward anxiously to the time when he may be free to return to this city. His wife and son, who accom- panied him on the pleasure trip to Athens, are living in their old home there. Maspetb, N. Y. — John Schmieg, re- cently in the florists' business on Juni- per avenue, announces that he is no longer in the trade. East Bridgewater, Mass. — J. K. Alex- ander recently has built a large storage house for dahlias, of which he claims to be the largest grower in the world. It has 4,680 square feet of floor space and 11,700 cubic feet of storage room. Princeton, HI. — George H. Jennings, foreman, says the W. E. Trimble Green- house Co. is preparing to add two new houses, one 9x53 and the other 8x40. These are for pot plants, but will be used for propagating next year. For next season the rose stock is to be in- creased 4,000 plants, the varieties being Sunburst, Milady, Killarney Queen and American Beauty. La Porte, Ind. — The Kaber Co. has opened its new downtown flower store, at 808 Jefferson avenue. The room is exquisitely furnished and is decorated in white and gold. The refrigerator is especially attractive and holds ten tons of ice. The counters are all marble- topped. In the rear of the store is a balcony, which is partly occupied by a well arranged workroom. It is the in- tention of the firm to discontinue all sales at the greenhouses on Fox street. Bochester, Ind. — A recent fire in the boiler shed of the Dunn greenhouses, conducted under lease by J. H. Shel- ton, caused a loss of from $200 to $300 to Mrs. Dunn, the owner of the houses, and a loss of $500 or $600 to Mr. Shel- ton. For some years Mr. Shelton has made the annual announcement, in the newspapers and otherwise, that he would give a bouquet to each person in the city whose birthday was on the same date as his own, February 14. This plan has not only aided directly in giving publicity to his business, but has also fostered in the public mind the idea of purchasing flowers as birth- day gifts and there is a noticeable in- crease in the sales for this purpose. Camden, N. Y. — The greenhouse busi- ness which Harvey B. Snow established and has conducted for many years has been sold by him to Messrs. Carl W. and Ernest D. Brown. The Brown brothers have purchased the green- houses and business, Mr. Snow retain- ing his seed business, to which he will now give his entire attention. Carl Brown has had experience as a land- scape gardener in New Hampshire, as foreman of a greenhouse in Augusta, Me., and as foreman of greenhouses in Houston, Texas, and several other western cities. Ernest Brown has been a student in the Agricultural College at Durham, N. H., studied horticulture and floriculture at Cornell University and has been employed as superinten- dent of a large estate at Wyoming, 50 The Floiists' Review Mahch 13, 1913.

Third National Flower Show, New York, April to 12. 1018. Twenty-ninth annual convention, Minneapolis, Minn.. August 19 to 22. 1913. Results bring advertising. The Review brings results. Don 't think that a willingness to make allowances on complaints of customers is an evidence of fair dealing; quite the contrary, it is proof that there is some- thing wrong with the methods that per- mit the necessity for adjustments. Because the paper is sent only to paid in advance subscribers, The Review sends no subscription receipts. If the paper comes, the dollar has been received safely; if the paper does not come, the remittance has not arrived. Two well known British florists who will attend the National Flower Show are W. Wells, the chrysanthemumist who was over a couple of years ago, and R. P. Felton, the London retailer. They sail together on the Mauretania March 22. There are becoming so many quaran- tine regulations aflfecting the interstate shipment of plants and other trade com- modities that no man can be sure he has observed the details of the latest edicts. Thus far the most serious burden is on the nurserymen, but florists are beginning to be alfected and, apparently, conditions are likely to grow worse instead of better. The other day an advertiser spoke of The Review as a "western paper." The Review has more subscribers in New York than in any other state; Pennsylvania is second, but New England, with less area than either, receives more Reviews than go to any one state anywhere in the Union. Those who wish to be accurate in their speech will refer to The Review as ' * the national trade paper. ' ' Steadily if slowly the trade is getting away from the old ideas of credits and collections. The argument that this trade is different from other trades and calls for different methods than are applied to credits and collections in other lines is no doubt true, but the differences are in the direction of conservatism rather than laxity. If you don't get the money why part with your merchandise? Not a few subscribers save themselves the bother of annual renewal by sending The Review $2, $3, or sometimes $5, in- stead of the dollar-bill that insures fifty- two visits of the paper. SOME PAFEB. The white paper consumed in printing this issue of The Review weighed 12,660 pounds, or considerably more than six tens. Were the pages in a single copy laid end to end it would make a strip 164 feet loHg, and the entire edition so placed would carpet a path for 343 miles. And the number of copies printed this week is only the regular edition. BIO CI.ASSIFIED QAIN. Last week 's issue of The Review car- ried nearly a page more Classified Plant Ads than appeared in the heaviest issue last season — nearly two pages more than were in the issue of the corre- sponding date, for the peak never comes until about May 1. The explanation for the strong in- crease in the Classified Plant Ads is the excellent returns the advertisers have had-^the character of the classi- fied advertisements is such that it is impossible to do much direct solicita- tion — all The Review can do is to await the word of the man with the surplus stock: first he says "Insert," and shortly he says ' ' Cut it out, the stock is sold." This way: Please change our fern ad as enclosed; we have closed out about 100,000 through your classified ads. — Newell & Ustler, Apopka, Fla., February 27, 1913. CHICAGO. The Oreat Central Market. Within the last week the market has strengthened in some particulars and weakened in others. Business is stead- ily increasing. The supply as a whole also is larger than it has been in the last few weeks and conditions generally are about as usually is the case in the penultimate week of Lent. Beauties of strictly first-class quality continue scarce and there now is little- hope of heavy cuts for Easter. There are moderate quantities of imperfect. Beauties, and they are selling at ex- cellent prices, considering quality, be- cause there is nothing better to be had. Rose crops increased last week to the- point where the retailers began special sales, the first time roses have been so offered since the Christmas crop went off. This week the supply is still further augmented, as most of the growers appear to be coming into first- class crop for Easter. The quality of the roses is excellent. All grades are abundant and excellent values are of- fered. Of course, the bulk of the sup- ply is Killarney and White Killarney,. with moderate quantities of Richmond. Mrs. Ward is in good crop with those who have planted it. Lesser quantities- of Rhea Reid, Radiance, Sunburst, Bul- garie and Maryland are offered. Kil- larney Queen is fine. Carnations are slightly less plentiful" than they have been and the market has firmed on these. The fact that St. Patrick's day falls so close to Easter is making some difference in the. situa- tion on white. There are th6i^ whe say carnations are going off crop and will not be plentiful for Easter, but March 13, 191,3.

With carnations going oflF crop with most of the growers, and the near ap- proach of Easter, conditions show an improvement over a week ago. Boses continue the weakest spot in the mar- ket and are not selling at all well. The comparatively new sorts move the best, including Melody, Radiance, Bulgarie and Cardinal, while Sunburst, Hilling- don, Ward and long-stemmed Beauties are in fairly good demand. Killarneys are overabundant, as are Richmonds. The carnation market shows some im- provement, due more to decreased ar- rivals than to better demand. Benora, Rosette and St. Nicholas are all fine now. The leaders in popularity still are Pink Delight, Gloriosa and White Wonder. Some superb sweet peas are arriving. These sell well, but there is a surplus of short-stemmed stock still. Dutch bulbous flowers are moving somewhat better; the xjuality is first- class all around. Violets are now flowering heavily, with little change in price. With an early Easter, the sup- ply will this year be larger than for several years. Marguerite Mrs. Sander sells well, as do the larger-flowered yel- lows, but small flowers are too plentiful. Snapdragon, especially pink, remains popular. Lilies are mostly quoted at $12.50 per hundred, with second grades at $10. At this time an adequate sup- ply seems likely. Of blue cornflowers the supply is as yet inadequate. Pan- sies are now of good quality, as is mignonette. English primroses, wall- flowers, calendulas, gerberas, larkspurs, lupines, anemones and quite a variety of miscellaneous flowers are seen. The cattleya market seems a little stronger, as the supply has shortened up. Gardenias are good and Boston growers will have a grand Easter cut of these. Lily of the valley has been moving fairly well. The call for as- paragus shows an improvement. Pot plant trade is becoming brisk. Lilies are now appearing in the windows, and United Refrigeration The owner of the outfit pictured above says it is fast paying for iteelf. Flowers can be kept for days in United Refrigerators and retain their brilliancy and fragrance.

There was an at- tendance of eighty, including ladies, a delegation from the Ladies' School of Horticulture, Groton, Mass., being in- cluded. All the houses were found filled to overflowing with plants in prime condition for Easter. Some 1,500 azaleas were in flower, including a num- ber of the newer sorts, such as Souv. de William Edgar, Easter Greeting and the beautiful Lady Roosevelt. Lilacs were seen in quantity and carried ex- tra fine trusses. Many thousands of lilies were seen. These carried from four to eight flowers per plant and were finely grown. While giganteums pre- dominated, a good many Formosas also were seen, also a fine batch of can- didums. Genistas were seen in all sizes, in- cluding some grand specimen plants. In rhododendrons Pink Pearl took the lead.

A house of hybrid perpetuals in pots also looked first-class and included Brunner, Frau Karl Druschki, Magna Charta, etc. Amer- ican Beauty was also well done. Metrosideros, or bottlebrush, is al- ways well flowered here and they never appeared better than now. Spiraeas, hydrangeas and a variety of other Easter plants also were seen. Many thousands of young cyclamens were coming along- for flowering next win- ter, which it would be hard .to dupli- cate. Large quantities of geraniums and other bedding plants filled several houses, while thousands of hydrangeas were being started for Memorial day. Following an inspection of the houses an excellent luncheon was served and speeches made by President W. J. Kennedy, A. P. Calder, Sr., Thomas J. Grey, H. H. Bartsch, the efficient man- ager and member of the firm; R. S. Edgar and Mrs. W. W. Edgar. Great praise was given Mr. Bartsch for the splendid condition of the stock and to Mrs. Edgar for her generous luncheon, and rousing cheers for them were given before the pleasant gathering dis- persed. Various Notes. Members of the Horticultural Club visited the establishment of Peirce Bros., at Waltham, March 5. One of the big houses of giganteum lilies was in prime condition for Easter, as fine as this firm ever has had them. There were many thousands of them, and practically all are already sold. Aza- leas and other pot plants also are grown. Boses now fill several houses and look remarkably well. Killarney, White Killarney and Hillingdon mostly are grown. A house of the last named looked first-class, with fine stems and large flowers. Several houses are de- voted to carnations.
