MOTT-LY MUSINGS. 



"This is truly a season of perplexi- 

 ties," remarked J. D. Eisele, vice- 

 president of Henry A. Dreer, Inc., 

 Philadelphia, in speaking of the 

 vagaries of the weather. ' ' Here is a 

 carload of palms, for instance, await- 

 ing shipment to a distant point, and 

 outdoors we see perennials bursting 

 into bloom, induced by a few days of 

 sunshine. Our fear now is that it will 

 require heroic measures to meet the 

 situation, and, with the problem of 

 short help, the wisdom of a Solomon 

 will hardly pull us through. It is al- 

 most impossible to secure outside help. 

 The wages of our steady employees 

 have been increased to meet the ad- 



vanced cost of living and all are work- 

 ing like beavers. 



"Easter looms ahead, with business 

 more than sufficient to atone for the 

 setback during the month of March," 

 continued Mr. Eisele, "and there ia 

 an abundance of stock equal to the 

 heaviest demands. All that is needed 

 is a steady, gradual opening, when all 

 will be well. 



"The direct returns from the Na- 

 tional Flower Show are "satisfactory 

 and our efforts put forth in connection 

 therewith were well repaid. The en- 

 thusiasm of the admiring crowd was 

 manned only by two incidents: One,, 

 when a zealous amateur stooped too low 

 to inspect the aquatics and plunged 

 headlong into the tank. On being res- 

 cued by an attendant, he exclaimed 

 he 'had fallen among the lilies fair.' 

 Another time was when two ladies were 

 pushed into the water by the crowd 

 that thronged the garden. They were 

 highly indignant when rescued. ' ' 



Apropos of water lilies, I learn that 

 the secret has been discovered how to 

 keep the blooms open night and day. 

 This information will be given the pub- 

 lic in due season. 



Eoses being foremost in the mind's 

 eye just*n,ow, it was interesting to see 

 the large number hdd in reserve in the 

 Dreer houses, and so staged that the 

 individual beauty could be more easily- 

 observed. There are many that stand 

 out preeminent, among them a glorious 

 yellow, by name Duchess of Wellington. 



Many advances have been made since 

 my last visit to the Dreer establish- 

 ment. A storage building, already 

 found to be too small for the purpose* 

 intended, has been constructed. Half 

 a million gladiolus bulbs are among 

 the items stored. A new method of 

 propagating the large quantity of 

 dahlias is by potting the cuttings direct 

 from the tuber, instead of via the sand 

 route, as formerly. The percentage of 

 loss is almost nothing, and within a 

 couple of weeks fine, thrifty plants are 

 made; at least, this is the case as seen 

 here. Every facility is given to aid the 

 progress of the business. W. M. 



Newport, K. I. — The preliminary 

 schedules for the midsummer exhibi- 

 tion of the Newport Garden Club and 

 Newport Horticultural Society, to be 

 held August 10 to 12, have been is- 

 sued and entries in the classes for 

 plants, fruits, roses and other cut flow- 

 ers will be received until noon, August 

 7, by Secretary Fred. P. Weber, of 

 Melville, R. I. As usual, there is a 

 wide range of prizes.
