SINGLE STEMMED MUMS. 



Will Yuu kindly inform us as to the 

 best time to take cuttings for single- 



stframed ehrvsanthemums? 



G. B. 



For bench culture, cuttings may be 

 taken at any time from now on for sin- 

 gle stems, providing one has seven or 

 eight feet of head room from the top of 

 the bench. Cuttings rooted in March 

 need to be planted out in May and wliiU- 

 these early plants give the finest flowers 

 many florists cannot afford to plant 

 their mums until the bedding stock is 

 cleaned out in June. If G. B. has the 

 single-stemmed pot plant in his mind, 

 which is what we in the east always 

 mean when we speak of single stems, 

 these are rooted in late May and early 

 June. They are potted up from the sand 

 into 2% -inch pots and from that to (i- 

 inch, in which pot they are flowere.l. 

 Properly grown the 6-ineh single- 

 stemmed plant is a handsome subject, if 

 suitable dwarf kinds are grown and i 

 have no doubt G. B. can find ready sale 

 for such in his vicinity, though they 

 seem to have gone out of fashion in the 

 effete east Brian Boeu. 



KALAMAZOO. MICH. 



This city has been under water, in 

 common with a good share of southern 

 Michigan and northern Indiana, the past 

 week. One of the heaviest losers will be 

 G. VanBochove & Bro. "We have been 

 able to keep up steam through pipe.* 

 from the mill across the street," said 

 Mr. VanBochove this morning. "Our 

 loss is at present impossible to estimate, 

 but will run into the thousands. For- 

 tunately we saved all our Easter stuff, 

 and much of the other stock in the green- 

 houses will be saved. In others wherrj 

 the water covered the steam pipes, wc 

 were unable to keep the plants warm." 



The Calder greenhouses on East Main 

 street, just east of the river, also suf- 

 fered serious loss. 



Watehville, Me. — The past winter has 

 been a hard one for florists in Maine. 

 The mercury was below zero most of the 

 time from Christmas until March, and 

 plant trade was very light on that ac- 

 count. H. E. Mitchell & Son say cut 

 flower trade has averaged better than ever 

 and until spring stock came in they were 

 able to get better prices tlian usual. 

 Potted bulb stock has moved pretty well.

Was there at the finish J 



When most of the other varieties were rapid- 

 ly going to Bleep. Indianapolis held up in 

 splendid shape. There are two reasons for 

 this. Indianapolis is a splendid keeper and 

 we have not overfed nor overfojced our 

 stock. Our vase of 200 blooms was not en. 

 tered for competition, that's why you did not 

 see it mentioned among the prizewinners, but 

 it made a host of friends. We still have 

 about 10.000 for March delivery. Fine healthy 

 cuttir.gs that will make fine stock for next 

 winters flowering. Will make you more 

 money than any other pink carnation. Order 

 at once. $2.50 per doz.. $12.00 per 100. $100 

 per 1000.
