The Weekly Florists' Review. 



SEPTEMBER 22, 



ROCHES! ER. N. Y. 



The recent rains have caused outdoor 

 stock to pick up considerably and the 

 herbaceous garden of J. B. Keller's 

 Sons looks brighter than it has done 

 before this season, which has been very 

 hard upon all hardy stock in this sec- 

 tion. I found Geo. Schlegel busy pre- 

 paring to plant carnations, of which 

 they have a healthy stock. Fred 

 Schlegel showed__ me a fine strain of 

 white aster, upon which the boys have 

 a corner. 



Geo. Savage was busily engaged over- 

 hauling his splendid lot of cattleyas. 

 The hot weather was nearly fatal to 

 the odontoglots. He made an accepta- 

 ble judge as well as successful exhibi- 

 tor at the recent big fair at Syracuse.

CI NT AU RE A MACROCEPHALi*. 



A subscriber asks, "When is the time 

 to sow, and how to grow the above? 

 I think it is called the yellow corn- 

 flower." 



It is a hardy perennial. The seed 

 should be sown in August, or it might 

 do if sown at once. Wintering the 

 plants in a cold frame in flats is better 

 than small pots, and plant out in the 

 border as soon as ground is dry and 

 danarer of hard freezing is over. It 

 should have good dry soil and planted 

 three feet apart. W. S. 



NEW ROCHELLE. N. Y.— Siebrecht 

 & Son have built a new palm house 

 that is probably one of the largest in 

 the country. It is 32x240 and 30 feet 

 high.

= open-air-dried Cypress Lumber is more durable, and better suited to Green- B 



5 liouse conditions than kiln-dried stock. But you cannot get it from those = 



5 that are engaged in the business in a small way — even though their entire = 



" business is confined to greenhouse material — for it takei^ a long time for the m 



g lumber to thoroughly dry and this means an investment in lumber that only M 



P those of large capital can make. The only way to have air-dried lumber is b 



g to buy green lumber and hold it until it dries. Those that order dry lum- g 



M her from the producers of Cypress get kiln-dried stock. It is cheaper for B 



H them to kiln-dry than to hold the stock long enough to season it in the open M 



p air. We carry a large stock and fill all orders with open-air-dried Cypress g 



g clear of knots, sap and all other defects. g
