MILDEW ON PAINT. 



Would like to know if any readers of 

 the Review have been troubled with a 

 fungus showing through paint of iron- 

 constructed greenhouses, and remedy for 

 same. Palmhouse. 



What your correspondent refers to 

 is doubtless mildew on the paint, a 

 trouble quite common in greenhouses 

 having a temperature of from 00 to 70 

 degrees and the usual high humidity. If 

 the paint is light colored it will become 

 discolored by the mildew and appear 

 as though the origin of the trouble was 

 on the inside. There is likely to be 

 more of the mildew showing on the met- 

 al work than on the woodwork, the for- 

 mer being cooler and therefore con- 

 densing more of the moisture on its sur- 

 face. A fungous growth might attach 

 itself to the discolored paint, but we 

 have not seen anything of this sort. 



The only damage the metal work is 

 likely to sustain in a greenhouse is cor- 

 rosion caused by a lack of paint to pro- 

 tect it from the moisture. A green- 

 house, particularly one kept at a high 

 temperature, should be painted once in 

 two j'ears. When repainting metal 

 work all corrosion should be carefully 

 removed before the paint is applied, oth- 

 erwise the painting will be of little bene- 

 fit. Lord & Burxiiak Co. 



GALVESTON, TEXAS. 



At the recent funeral of a prominent 

 citizen some very handsome floral de- 

 signs were seen. Among them an enor- 

 mous laurel wreath with crossed palm 

 leaves, upon which were sprays of roses 

 and carnations tied with ribbons. There 

 were many other laurel wreaths, with 

 various combinations of flowers, and 

 many palm sprays with various flowers 

 tied to same with ribbons. Also numer- 

 ous crosses, pillows, wreaths and bunches 

 of flowers, etc. Many of the arrange- 

 ments were by Mrs. C. Eickholt, the 

 florist. 



CORRECTION. 



In the adv. of F. R. Pierson Co., on 

 page 226 of our last issue, the quotations 

 on Japanese fern balls should have been 

 per dozen and per 100 instead of per 100 

 and per 1,000, making a very decided 

 diflference in the prices. 



Washington, D. C- — Nine hundred se- 

 lected buds of Washington's new bridal 

 rose Ivory (the white sport of Golden 

 Gate) were used at the recent diplomatic 

 dinner at the White House. 



Champaign, III. — Material is being 

 received for the new greenhouse to be 

 erected here by the Illinois Central Rail- 

 way. When completed the plant will be 

 in charge of Thomas J. Leake of Chi- 

 cago. 



Warren, 0. — E. C. Gething has been 

 appointed receiver of the business of 

 Hood & Cox., nurserymen and florists at 

 Hubbard. The firm had flve new green- 

 houses built and a suit started when they 

 disagreed. 



Marietta, Ohio. — Schramm Bros, 

 have 10,000 feet of glass here and are 

 getting ready to build three more short 

 span houses to be devoted to roses. 

 Their stock of roses, carnations, palms 

 and pot stufT is in first-class condition 

 and they are doing a good business.

MONROVIA 



CHRYSAMHEMIMI

jlHIS is the finest early Mum ever introduced, it is a money-maker for the florist 

 who wants to be early in the market. It is early, it is large, it is fine in color, 

 and stem and foliage as good as the best. This variety was selling for $4.00 

 per dozen last fall in Chicago when other early yellows went begging at $2.00. It was with 

 me as early as yellow Fitzwygram. but far superior in color, size and everything else. It 

 took Silver Medal or second prize in Buffalo at the Pan-American, lor best 50 yellow, 22nd of 

 October, but was ready to cut two weeks before. I have the largest stock of this sterling 

 variety in America but will not have it long u hen its full merits are known, f o speak quick if 

 you want any. Strong rooted cuttings. St'vOO per 100. Fine strong plants, from 2H-inch pots, 

 $8.00 per 100. I also have a few of Robert Halliday early yellow, which received Gold Medal 

 or first prize at the Pan-American, for .50 yellow. R. C, $.').00 per 100: 2>^-inch, $10.00 per lOO.
