The Indiana Floral Co., of Indiana, 

 Pa., has cut its first carnations. Chrys- 

 anthemums had not arrived when I 

 called, but some fine stock was seen. 



The L. S. Peterman Co., of Altoona, 

 Pa., has completed two new houses. A 

 new boiler house also has been built. 

 Stock is fine here and a good crop is 

 looked for this season. 



A. A. Whitbred, another Altoona 

 grower, has some fine stock coming in. 

 Business continues good, but the high 

 cost of coal is causing some worry. 



Everything is hustle and bustle at 

 the Myers Bros.' stores, Altoona. Fu-

I did not make myself clear in my 

 recent inquiry. In growing Formosa 

 lilies should they be potted the same as 

 L. giganteumf Do they need any cool 

 treatment to make root growth, or can 

 they be started the same as L. gigan- 

 teumt Will a compost of three-fourths 

 light loam and one-fourth well rotted 

 cow or horse manure be satisfactoryf 

 Shall I start them later than L. gigan- 

 teumf Is the Formosa lily as good as 

 L. giganteum for cut flowers t 



A. L. — Mo. 



The Formosa lily bulbs should be 

 potted the same as those of L. longi- 

 florum giganteum. They can be started 

 under a greenhouse bench or in a cold- 

 frame. They do not need cool treat- 

 ment to make roots, but succeed well if 

 they are started a little cooler than the 

 giganteums. The compost you mention 

 will do well, but be sure the manure 

 used is old and well decayed. The 

 Formosa lily, started with giganteum, 

 will come into flower earlier. It is of
