ORCHIDS AT ST. PAUL. 

 Dr. Rudolph Schiffmann, of St. Paul, 



is an amateur orchid collectoi who is fast 

 drifting into the commercial end of the 

 industry, having built up a larger stuck 

 limn is desirable for merely enthusiastic 

 reasons. At the time of my last visit he 

 was potting a late importation of catt- 

 leyas from Brazil. A collection of phal- 

 aenopsis brought fr.mi the Philippines 

 two years ago is said to be the largest 

 in the United States, if not in the world. 

 For .1 period of ten years and more he 

 has been collecting rare varieties from all 

 quarters of the globe, sparing neither 

 time nor expense to secure the best and 

 rarest. Hybridizing is carried on in a 

 systematic manner, a correcl record be- 

 ing kept of the date of fertilizing, the 

 parent plants, the date the seed 

 matures, the date it germinates, 

 etc. [f one out of fifty experiments 

 along litis line produces a promising va- 

 riety he feels well repaid for Ids work. 

 As it takes from six to eighteen months 

 for the seed pud to develop and mature, 



and t In' -ami' length uf time fur the seed 

 tti germinate after sue 1110. and t he plan! 

 is two years old ur older before blooming 

 it is readily seen that the work is slow. 

 Dr. Schiffmann is very enthusiastic 

 over his "pets," as he considers them, 

 and in time holies to have the finest col- 

 li a in the world. Mr. Whatton, an 



Kno| ls |i 21""''!' uf null' i'\|i.'i ii'itee, has 

 charge of the plants, and rarely has a 

 failure. Knell year I lie weeding out pro- 

 cess at this place puts a lot of good 

 commercial varieties on the market at 

 moderate prices. If an importation of 



l.itiio plants this year contains ten plants 

 of an improved type the proprietor feels 

 well repaid for his effort. X. Y. Z.

ST. PAUL. 



Bright weather has succeeded rain and 

 1 mid I In llowi rs are putting on re- 

 newed life and energy, and making up 

 for lost time. Outside stock is about 

 all gone. Roses are I. .coining more abun- 

 dant and of better quality. A few car- 

 nal ions arc being cut, and the first Fit* 

 wygram mums were seen the past week. 

 As usual, they sold very readily, 



firing has been a necessity, while mil- 

 dew and black spot are prevalent 



L. I.. .May & Co. 's greenhouses are look - 

 ; ng especially fine and in good shape at 

 1 his time. All of the older houses have 

 been renovated and repaired, while the 

 entire range has been repainted inside 

 .and out. Beauties are in crop now. Lib- 

 erties are old plants, which have sent up 

 a very strong new growth. As grown 

 hero this is certainly a peerless varietv. 

 Tho new Ivory seems to verify all the 

 good words said in its favor. The 

 glow Hi is strong, while its blooming 

 qualities are just as good as the old 

 Golden Gate, The carnations are strong 

 and thrifty, though, but very few are 

 showing bloom. Enchantress is the 

 strongest growing variety and promises 

 to sustain the reputation it made last 



season. It has always I n :i favorite 



on this market. One house is devoted to 

 Adiantum onneutuni and kindred sorts. 

 Other houses are devoted to the Boston 

 fern and its improved form, i'iersoni. 

 Several houses arc planted to ehrysanthe- 



by 



and 



carnations, violets, mums and roses dur- 

 ing the winter. These are sold princi- 

 pally at wholesale. He also forces a 

 la 1 2" number of bulbs.
