that is, the best coleus. One of our 

 smart growers, James Griffin, of Frank- 

 ford, grows a block of these, usually 

 5,000. He grows them well, with a 

 little room between the 4-inch pots, gets 

 10 cents for them and finds it a good 

 thing. When told this was a point of 

 interest, Mr. Craig laughed. ' ' You have 

 a way," he said, "of describing little 

 things seriously, as though they were 

 most important." "I never kill 

 space, ' ' his visitor protested. ' * No, but 

 give your imagination play. Don't for- 

 get to give your imagination play, ' ' was 

 Mr. Craig's parting shot. 



Cold Storage Peonies. 



Charles E. Meehan says that the 

 whole secret of putting peonies success- 

 fully into cold storage, after they have 

 been properly cut, is never to allow 

 them to heat at any stage. This is more 

 difficult than it seems, because peonies 

 heat easily. The most successful pack- 

 ers take the flowers from the fields to 

 the shed, sprinkle the foliage and pack 

 with ice. This is necessary, because it 

 takes many hours of the cold storage to 

 thoroughly penetrate the boxes of 

 peonies. They are often found to be 

 heated away down underneath, long 

 after they have been put into storage. 

 Peonies properly packed can be safely 

 kept in cold storage for a long time, 

 even as late as August, while those im- 

 properly packed are nearly always un- 

 satisfactory when taken out. 



Various Notes. 



Charles P. Poryzees has closed his 

 retail store at the northeast corner of 

 Fifteenth and Chestnut streets, causing 

 gloom among the wholesalers and grow- 

 ers. This is Mr. Poryzees' second fail- 

 ure. The first occurred some years ago, 

 when he did business, as do many of 

 the Greeks, under his first name, 

 Charles Pandella.
