A UNIVERSAL MISTAKE OF THE 

 RETAILER AND GROWER. 



Mr. Editor: Did it ever occur to you, 

 when you see stock lying on the coun- 

 ters of the wholesale houses in a morn- 

 ing, that it was wasting money and good 

 flowers that ought to be in water. The 

 grower should insist on having his stock 

 put in water as soon as it reaches the 

 commission man, but if it is. the retailer 

 thinks it is not fresh and has been kept 

 over from the day before. Well, he is 

 the one who sufl'ers when he takes home 

 the stock that has been out of the water 

 for two or three hours. It certainly 

 will not keep as long as if it had been in 

 water that long, and if the stock is not 

 sold that morning the grower must stand 

 the loss, as it will not bring as much by 

 50 per cent the second day. 



Let the grower insist on having his 

 stock in water and let the retailer insist 

 on getting his stock out of water, then 

 the commission man will do his part. 

 Crank. 



ELMIRA, N. Y. 



The EIniira Horticultural Society 

 holds several exhibitions each season and 

 finds that more and more interest is 

 taken each succeeding year in growing 

 the finer varieties of flowers. 



At the rose exhibition in June there 

 were several grand collections of the 

 newer varieties of hybrid roses. The 

 grand prize — La France silver cup — was 

 won by Eugene Laing with eighty vari- 

 eties. The sweet pea show, August 1, 

 brought out some fine home grown flow- 

 ers and a splendid display from the 

 Steuben county experts who did s.) well 



PANSY SEED 



GIANT OF CALIFORNIA. 



Having bought all the seed of Giant of Cali- 

 fornia from the grower and wishing to build up a 

 trade amongst the leading florists of the United 

 States and Canada. I will send out the first 10 lbs. 

 as follows: Trade package. 25c; )4 oz., 91.00 ; 

 1 oz.. $4 00, free by mail. 



Giant of California is the largest strain of 

 Pansies in the world, some measure 5 inches in 

 diameter, consisting of 22 colors, all having very 

 large eyes. A trial will convince you. 



Seedsmen's orders not accepted. (CASH.)

Mention The Review when you write. 



at the Pan-American sweet pea show. A 

 chrysanthemum exhibition is being 

 planned for the first week in November, 

 and the school children are growing 

 plants to exhibit at that time. 



Among the other activities of the soci- 

 ety is the improvement work, trying to 

 arouse public interest in beautifying the 

 city by means of free lectures and meet- 

 ings. Also we are working in connec- 

 tion with the school authorities to in- 

 terest the children in growing flowers. 

 Thousands of packages of seeds were 

 sown and plants are being cared for pre- 

 paratory for a competitive exhibition 

 soon after school begins next month. 

 Quite a list of prizes is offered by mem- 

 bers of the society and public spirited 

 citizens and the competition promises to 

 be keen. 



There is considerable building and re- 

 building of greenhouses here and in a 

 future letter I will give details. H.
