HANDS ACROSS THE OHIO 



HOOSIEBS AND COLONELS MEET 



State Societies Hold Joint Outing. 



In last week's issue of The Review 

 there was a full report of the joint 

 meeting of the Indiana State Florists' 

 Association and the Kentucky Society 

 of Florists, which closed October 18, 

 the morning being enjoyably and profit- 

 ably spent visiting the Louisville es- 

 tablishments located near the cemetery, 

 Jacob Schulz, J. E. Marret Mid E. G. 

 Eeimer & Son. The cemetery itself was 

 quite a point of intereSt because of its 

 artistic landscape gardening. After 

 visiting the Kentucky Tobacco Prod- 

 ucts Co. and tile downtown stores, teams 

 were picked for bowling contests, Ken- 

 tucky vs. Indiana, for which elegant 

 prizes were awarded^ A luncheon was 

 served in the alleys, after which a spe- 

 cial car took the party to the Walker 

 establishment, ten miles out of Louis- 

 ville. All enjoyed this clean and well 

 kept place and aiso the buffet lunch- 

 eon that was served in the evening. 

 The Walkers entertained with a dance 

 that evening, but most of the Indianians 

 left on the 5 o'clock car for Louisville, 

 after a vote of thanks had been pro- 

 posed by W. W. Coles, an invitation to 

 the American Carnation Society meet- 

 ing at Indianapolis had been extended 

 to the Kentuckians by A. F. J. Baur 

 and a farewell speech made by Jacob 

 Schulz.

RAMSBURO TELLS HOW. 



Antirrhinum SeUs Itself. 



The up-to-date snapdragon sells itself, 

 but it is not so well known to the pub- 

 lic that buyers will ask for it — the stock 

 must be shown. The flowers are so- 

 good that they sell where they are seen. 

 The introduction of the snapdragon as 

 a cut flower, however, is of such recent 

 date that flower buyers must be edu- 

 cated as to its uses. Those who are 

 interested in developing the flower 

 strongly urge that prices be kept within 

 bounds and that the stock be used 

 wherever possible. The pink varieties 

 will be found particularly effective iri 

 funeral sprays, and may be combined 

 with white carnations, roses, stevia, etc. 



Hints on Culture. 



V. 



G. S. Ramsburg, the originator of 

 Silver Pink snapdragon, who advise* 

 growing it from seed, has prepared the- 

 following suggestions for culture: 



"Seeds should germinate within a 

 week, when they should be placed in 

 full sunlight, and the soil always kept 

 moist by frequent spraying rather 

 than one soaking. Bun them on the 

 dry side during cloudy weather, ta 

 avoid damping. Seedlings should be 

 ready to pot within thirty to forty 

 days from germination, and should be 

 potted while the plants are small, short 

 and stocky. A few days over will' 

 weaken and spoil them. 



"When plants have formed the 

 fourth set of leaves, pinch the top 

 above the second or third set. This 

 will be from two to four weeks after 

 potting. The plants shoald be ready 

 to bench or pot on in three to four 

 months from sowing, according to the 

 season. Our rule is to bench out of 

 2%-inch pots and to pinch but once,, 

 which gives three to six spikes in the 

 first crop and countless numbers there- 

 after. There is no need of disbudding. 

 We strongly advise against carrying 

 over old plants, but if this is desired 

 you will note that after the fall crop 

 is dotae, a number of light green shoots 

 will start from the ba»e of the plant. 

 Lei these remain, but cut or break out 

 all other growth. 



Benching the Plants. 

 "Use good soil, prepared with one-
