The Weekly Florists' Review. 



DECEilUEK 17, 1903. 



LA DETROIT. 



It is stated that over 11,500 sugges- 

 tions were otfered in the contest for the 

 premium of $100 offered by Johu Breit- 

 meyer's Sons for the name which should 

 finally be adopted for their new rose. 

 The winner is Mrs. Ezra Miller, of Lan- 

 disville, Pa. The name was also sug- 

 gested bv two other women, Mrs. Henry 

 PfeiflPer "and Mr.x. Frank H. Croul, both 

 of Detroit, although the winner was 

 twenty-four hours ahead in the compe- 

 tition. A handsome lithograph of the 

 rose will be sent to each one who offered 

 a name. 



The rose is considered the most im- 

 portant of recent acquisitions to our list. 

 It is a seedling of Mme. Caroline Test- 

 out and Bridesmaid. It was raised by 

 George Hopp, in Grand Eapids four 

 years ago, and was acquired by the 

 Breitmeyers early in the spring. Over 

 17,000 plants are now being .grown for 

 propagating, 11,000 in Detroit; 4,000 in 

 New Jersey, and 2,000 in Grand Rapids. 

 April 1 is the date set for the distri- 

 bution. 



CYCLAMEN. 



Enquirer sends a cyclamen corm with 

 diseased leaves and buds. He says they 

 were kept plunged in tobacco stems all 

 summer, in a partly shaded house. They 

 grew finely till November, when they were 

 put in a warmer house. Then they threw 

 up a fine show of buds, when the young 

 growths began to ' ' draw and pucker, 

 both leaves and buds." "Pucker" is a 

 very good word and describes their ap- 

 pearance better than any word I can 

 think of. I could not see any signs of 

 aphis or thrips and I think the trouble is 

 that the little cyclamen mite got in his 

 work. I don 't know the scientific name 

 of this little pest or whether it is pecu- 

 liar to the cyclamen only, but it exists 

 and is microscopical in size. I have scc-i 

 only this fall two first-class gardencj"! 

 lose their cyclamen by the same trouble, 

 so don 't think. Enquirer, that it 's all 

 your fault or that you made any great 

 mistake in their culture. It 's not very 

 definite, what you mean by putting them 

 into a warmer house; 55 degrees at night 

 is warm enough after you have to use ar- 

 tificial heat. My advice is poor consola- 

 tion, but it is sound. If all your cycla- 

 men are .anything like the sample sent, 

 don't bother a moment with them; con- 

 sign them to Sheol without delay an. I 

 start again. There is time yet to sow 

 for next winter's plants, and I hope we 

 shall be able to find some means of keep- 

 ing down this small but destructive foe.

There is no paper that comes to me 

 which is read with more real interest and 

 benefit than your excellent publication, 

 and I trust it may remain with us long, 

 and continue to improve. — Wm. M. Lind-
