C. H. A. AND S. A. F. 



To the Editor Florists' Review: — 

 Through press of business I had not 

 seen the remarks of your New York 

 correspondent, "The Rounder," con- 

 cerning the next convention of the 

 Canadian Horticultural Association 

 until my attention was called to them 

 a few days ago. It was agreed to hold 

 the convention earlier next year sim- 

 ply because September (when it was 

 held this year) was found to be too 

 late for the convenience of the florists 

 and because it was thought the at- 

 tendance would be larger — nothing 

 more than that entered the minds of 

 those present. The actual date in Au- 

 gust was not fixed. 



I am sure all our boys whose pockets 

 are sufficiently well lined would be 

 glad to take part in the 1900 conven- 

 tion of the S. A. F. in New York and 

 to join in the social festivities, and the 

 C. H. A. would cordially welcome 

 members of the S. A. F. who can make 

 it convenient to attend its convention 

 at Montreal, and I think I may also 

 say on behalf of every member that 

 the C. H. A. would be most happy at 

 any time to receive the S. A. F. into 

 its foild and thus "be all one."

RUBBER. 



Editor Florists' Review:— Referring 

 to article on Ficus by Wm. Scott in is- 

 sue of October 5, I wish to take ex- 

 ception to the statement that florists 

 are mistaken in informing their cus- 

 tomers that Ficus elastica furnishes 

 the rubber of commerce. 



It is very true that it does not 

 furnish all the supply of that valuable 

 article, but being one of those who 

 have often made the statement in 

 question to my customers. I think I 

 am borne out by Encyclopaedia Bri- 

 tannica, which says under article on 

 India rubber: "Assam rubber is ob- 

 tained from Ficus elastica." "The im- 

 ports into Liverpool in 1S79 were 7 000 

 cwts." 



The best rubber, known as Para, and 

 which we in this country use, is ob- 

 tained from Hevea brasiliensis, the 

 genus Hevea being formerly known as 

 Siphonia. Mr. Scott would no doubt 

 be correct in saying that Ficus elastic ;, 

 is not "the" plant which produces th- 

 rubber of commerce, and "our" rubber 

 comes from Brazil. But I trust that 

 The Florists' Manual will have a world 

 wide circulation, and not only would 

 the army of florists feel guilty of mak- 

 ing false statements but the people 

 of Assam, Asia, might feel slighted (?)
