the manure, but it must not be too 

 coarse. Sometimes wlien florists get 

 their manure from dairymen they can 

 get the latter to cut their bedding 

 short, which makes it better for the 

 greenhouses. Of course, you will 

 watch the piles carefully to see that 

 the manure does not burn, which it is 

 very apt to do if piled high, and not 

 kept wet. After having burned it is of 

 'little value. Sometimes a good wet- 

 ting down is imperative, but should be 

 avoided unless the manure shows 

 signs of heat. 



It is a good time now to get to- 

 gether such supplies as a florist is 

 likely to need during the winter. Prob- 

 ably it will be easier to get deliveries 

 now than later on. This includes moss, 

 wire designs, ribbons and the like. 



Lomarias with proper treatment are 

 ^uite useful for general house decora- 

 tion. They can be grown into attrac- 

 tive miniature tree ferns, and when 

 young make good center pieces for the 

 table. After the plants become large 

 and pot bound they can be root pruned 

 and put back into the same size pots. 

 Then they will make a new set of 

 roots, and with a little bottom heat 

 will make a new crown. Lomarias 

 are readily raised from spores sown in 

 shallow pans or boxes and kept in a 

 temperature of 70 to 75 degrees in a 

 close atmosphere and well shaded 

 from the sun. It is best to use fine 

 peaty soil or leaf mold, with some 

 silver sand added. When the plants 

 are large enough to handle transfer 

 them to fresh soil and keep them at a 

 night temperature of 60 to 65. When 

 they have produced two or three up- 

 right fronds they can be put into 

 thumb pots in a soil of one-half loam 

 and one-half peat or leaf mold, with a 

 little sharp sand. Pot them as needed 

 so as keep them moving. Lomaria 

 Gibba and intermedia are the best 



varieties.

PRICES FOR 1921 

 Although labor costs have not de- 

 creased it would seem that "the peak" 

 of prices has been reached, if not al- 

 ready passed; and those who are in- 

 terested in making prices on flower 

 stocks of various kinds should remem- 

 ber this and not advance prices ex- 

 cept where clearly justified. We are 

 pleased to note that flower growers 

 are, in the main, entirely reasonable 

 in this respect, and but few things 

 have been advanced for the coming 

 season, whereas many things have 

 been reduced in price with the gen- 

 eral average holding about steady. —
