AS TO NOVELTIES. 



The season is now here when the aver- 

 age, every-day florist must decide on V 

 new varieties he will grow during the 

 coming year and a word to the one who 

 is undecided as to the novelties he will 

 try may not be out of place. To the 

 buyer there is a bewildering list to 

 choose from and I may ask, is the aver- 

 age florist justified in trying a novelty? 

 Usually by the time the weak points of 

 a novelty are found out the dissemina- 

 tor is ' ' all in, ' ' and is seeking a new 

 love and, further, the buyer must take 

 into account the growing methods of 

 the originators previous to the staging 

 of the novelties. It would take a poet 

 to describe how the new one,s ara- made 

 ready for their lime light exhibition 

 before the judges who are to sc-ore them. 

 You all know the darlings are coddled, 

 fondled, nursed and given attention 

 which the average commercial grower 

 would never think of giving to a stand- 

 ard variety or bread-winner. Do the 

 judges take into account these growing 

 methods? These impracticable methods T 

 I fear not; they do not seem to realize 

 that the novelty is on dress parade and 

 not in every-day attire. One cause for 

 dissatisfaction or disappointment to the 

 buyer is no doubt found in the quality 

 of the propagating material used bv 

 the disseminator who in his haste to get 

 returns from what is necessarily a lim- 

 ited stock, does not use that careful se- 

 lection and restriction which we find 

 the average florist using when seleetin"- 

 material for his own private stock of 

 a standard variety. I do not want to be 

 rated as a backwoodsman ; I believe in 

 advancement. I realize that from the 

 novelties of today must come the stand- 

 ard varieties of tomorrow, but to the 

 rank and file of the florists' profession 

 I would ask, has commercialism entered 

 into the introduction of novelties to the 

 trade? A. Aknot.
