The Weekly Florists' Review. 



SEPTEMBER 22, 



FLATBUSH, N. Y. 



The Flatbusli Florists' Bowling Clulj 

 held their weekly meeting on Thurs- 

 day evenins. Sept. lo. at Schwalback's 

 Bowling Alleys. Flatbush. The late 

 tournament was of course the chief 

 topic discussed and the boys were 

 honestly glad the Philadelphia boys 

 won. because they hope another oppor- 

 tunity will be given them to win back 

 a reputation by beating Habermehl's 

 team. No one that was present at that 

 memorable tournament will forget the 

 fog-horn lungs of Philadelphia's Mas- 

 cot, Longinotti. Sitting on a high stool 

 in the midst of his team his lion-like 

 roars of "Eat 'em up boys, eat 'em up," 

 conduced more than any other point to 

 make the Quakers successful and con- 

 fuse the other contestants. New York 

 nerves are not accustomed to such 

 awful coaching, and it's little wonder 

 the boys went to pieces. 



Following are the scores made this 

 evening in the quietness of their own 

 alleys with Papa Zeller coaching. 

 Papa Zeller, by the way, is to-day one 

 of the most interesting figures in 

 American floriculture. His name is 

 connected with the first carnations 

 grown for the New York market and 

 his stories of the past are at all times 

 interesting. Notwithstanding his great 

 age he is as young as the youngest in 

 everything pertaining to the trade, 

 even in bowling, as will be seen in 

 his scores:

Grove P. Rawson's stock is unusu- 

 ally fine this season and we may ex- 

 pect to see some more prize-winners at 

 the fall shows. Violets and roses vie 

 with carnations for supremacy in qual- 

 ity. 



E. M. & H. N. Hoffman report big 

 sales, particularly in cannas, which 

 they have gone into quite heavily this 

 season. They are making extensive 

 trials with new varieties. Just now 

 they are making a display in their ex- 

 tensive store windows of gladioli, 

 which are at their best and comprise 

 choice colors. Roses, carnations and 

 violets are healthy. W. M.

"The cutting was struck in January and put in a 4-inch pot 

 about the first of February. Five weeks later it was shifted 

 into a 6-inch pot; in Mav being given another shift into an 8- 

 inch pot, in pure Jadoo l^ibre. Later shifts were made in the 

 same material, and about August 1 the plant received its final 

 shift into a 13-inch pot. in which it was exhibited. When the 

 buds were set I started watering with Jadoo Liquid according 

 to directions about twice a week, gradually increasing the 

 strength until the blooms were half developed, when a little 

 of the Liquid in a much weakened form was given.*'
